Legend has is that the seventh son of a seventh son is born with certain special powers, which, in Joseph Delaney's "Wardstone Chronicles" fantasy-lit series, include the ability to see supernatural beings and, potentially, to kill witches. But given the unusually long gestation period for Universal's film adaptation, "Seventh Son" — which opens in the U.S. on Feb. 6, nearly a year later than originally planned — one shouldn't be all that surprised to discover some pretty significant birth defects, among them a tired plot, some very unspecial effects, and a pair of grotesquely uneven performances from Jeff Bridges and Julianne Moore.
Considering that Universal was still licking its wounds from the pricey Keanu Reeves debacle "47 Ronin" (like this project, an extravagant vfx-driven tentpole from a Russian director ill suited for Hollywood) when "Seventh Son" was supposed to open last February, it makes sense that the distributor opted to »

For this week's brand new spotlight piece (after taking a week off), I wanted to cite an A-lister who is known as one of the most deeply committed actors of his generation. Yes, it's Christian Bale, an Academy Award winner who just overflows with talent. Once considered an incredibly snubbed actor who never quite captured Oscar's attention, he's since moved on to a much more respected part of his career, while also stepping effortlessly between blockbusters and independent fare. At this point, he's almost a favorite of the voters and a multiple time nominee. As such, he's someone I'd wanted to shine the spotlight on for some time, I've just been waiting for the right moment… Bale got started briefly as a teenager in television movies, but for most, the first real exposure to him came in Steven Spielberg's Empire of the Sun, »

Shed your shirts and fire up your…bongos… as Cargill and I begin Mc-Genre-hey, a month-long series on the great genre films of Matthew McConaughey. To kick things off, we're taking a dragon-sized bite out of the post-apocalyptic masterpiece that is Reign of Fire. What makes this film so good?

Alright, alright, alright, it's the Matthew McConaughey quiz!
He may have an Oscar to his name after his stellar turn in last year's Dallas Buyers Club, but we'll never be able to distance the actor from his iconic catchphrase. And that's probably okay with him, given that he uttered those words himself to applause during his Best Actor acceptance speech.
Over the years we've watched McConaughey transform from the perpetual high schooler who gets older while the girls stay the same age, performed his duties as the eye candy and romantic lead in various rom-coms, and dipped his toes in everything from horror to action, and whatever you want to classify his post-apocalyptic dragon-fighting shirtless turn in Reign of Fire as.
This week, he's venturing into uncharted territory as Cooper, an astronaut on a mission to save humanity inChristopher Nolan's highly anticipated Interstellar. »

Beverly Hills — It was time for a victory lap for last year's Best Actor Oscar winner Matthew McConaughey as the "Interstellar" star was honored by the American Cinematheque at the Beverly Hilton's famed International Ballroom Tuesday night. A roll call of the star's leading ladies was on hand to take part in the tribute, which closed with "Interstellar" director Christopher Nolan doing the honors of presenting the hardware. Kate Hudson ("How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days," "Fool's Gold"), Anne Hathaway ("Interstellar"), Jennifer Garner ("Ghosts of Girlfriends Past," "Dallas Buyers Club") and Reese Witherspoon ("Mud") all took the stage at various moments throughout the evening to tell anecdotes and present clip packages from McConaughey's early years, his romantic comedy stretch, actioners, legal dramas and, of course, the "McConaissance" of late, as it's been dubbed. When Nolan had his turn, however, he bristled a bit at that moniker. "I'm not a believer in the McConaissance, »

Jimmy Kimmel has been named as host and co-stars Jennifer Garner, Reese Witherspoon and Jessica Chastain are among the first wave of stars announced to pay tribute to Matthew McConaughey as he becomes the 28th recipient of the American Cinematheque Award. The organization's annual benefit gala is October 21 at the Beverly Hilton.
Others announced this morning for the show include Cole Hauser, who co-starred as Benny O'Donnell opposite McConaughey in 1993's Dazed And Confused, the star's first film. Lili Fini Zanuck, producer of McConaughey's 2002 film Reign Of Fire, has also been added to the show, with more co-stars and associates expected to be named in the coming days.
Witherspoon appeared opposite McConaughey in 2013's Mud, while Chastain is in his much-anticipated upcoming November 14 release Interstellar. Garner worked with him on Ghosts Of Girlfriends Past and last year's Dallas Buyers Club, for which he won the Best Actor Oscar. »

London-based visual effects company to open animation unit in Montreal and begin production on 3D feature Charming.
UK digital visual effects company Cinesite is to create a slate of family animation features with 3Qu Media, the new CG-animation production company headed by Shrek producer John Williams and Henry Skelsy, managing partner of Fulton Capital Management.
The first project will be Charming, an irreverent animated comedy that re-imagines the tales of Cinderella, Snow White and Sleeping Beauty who discover they are all engaged to the same prince.
The film will be produced by Williams and directed by Ross Vemokur (Animal Crackerz).
Williams said: "We believe Charming can be a big commercial success and we hope this will be the beginning of a long time feature animation association between 3Qu and Cinesite's super talented artists, technicians, and production team."
Cinesite MD Antony Hunt said: "Feature animation is a natural extension of our talent and infrastructure.

We've reviewed every summer movie season since 1980 to find out which are the best, and which are the worst. Last week we posted our picks for the worst, and here we post our picks for the best.
2015 and 2016 may just be the most overthetop summer movie seasons yet. It seems like nearly every movie slated for a summer 2015 or 2016 release is heavily anticipated. Because of these impending summers of movie awesomeness, we've decided to take a look back at summer movie seasons of years past. The idea of the summer movie season is currently in full swing, but it didn't catch on immediately. Hollywood had to do its fair share of experimenting to determine what types of films would be most successful. As a result, some summer movie seasons have been better than others. We've reviewed them all for you and ranked them from worst to best. »

Coming from Conor McMahon, director of cult horror movie Stitches, From The Dark, filmed on location in Co. Laois, has finished principal photography. Starring Irish talent Niamh Algar (Savage Eye), Stephen Cromwell (Love/Hate), and Gerry O'Brien (Reign of Fire), From The Dark tells the story of a young couple who encounter an ancient evil on a road trip through the Irish countryside. No word whether this will follow the humorous road taken by Stitches, but judging by the creepy first image from the movie above, featuring Algar trapped in an underground tunnel, I have a feeling McMahon might be tackling straight horror this time round. No release date has been given for From The Dark as of yet. »

Tattoos are all the rage these days. All it takes is a walk through any town centre to see heavily tattooed models advertising the clothes of major high street stores to realise that such things are no longer the reserve of criminals, soldiers and sailors. This also means that tattoos can no longer be used by the costume designers and directors of films to give a character an intimidating aura or some edginess – so many people choose to adorn their bodies with ink these days that they just don't have the same impact on-screen.
Though tattoos were certainly used in the past as a rather unimaginative means of making an actor look like a badass, permanent markings on the body can be used to much greater effect in film. Tattoos – in their purest form, at least – are supposed to capture part of who we are, so there is no »

I first met Jim Mickle when he was in Chicago last fall to promote his family cannibal tale We Are What We Are. At that time, his newest Cold in July was only known to me an intriguing plot synopsis, but as Mickle shares below, it was in the middle of finding the form it claims now.
The film stars Michael C. Hall as a family man who unexpectedly enters into the very violent and personal odyssey of his stalker (played by Sam Shepard). Don Johnson stars in the film as well, which features a killer 80s aesthetic, replete with warbling synths in the score, and White Lion's "Wait" blasting after a brutal climax. Mickle co-wrote the film with frequent collaborator Nick Damici, as adapted from the story by Joe R. Lansdale.
I was fortunate enough to catch up with him via phone for this new film, where we discussed the expectations he faced, »

I've recently been circling around the idea of actually getting a tattoo. If I get one, it will be my first. But I've been thinking about some of the tattoos that I've seen in the movies over the years, and I started looking them up online to remind myself of what they looked like. I would never get a tattoo that I saw in a movie, it'd have to be an original design, but I was looking for a little inspiration.
While going through all the movie tattoos that I could think of, I decided to put together a list of some of the most memorable tattoos have been featured on the big screen. Here they are in no particular order.
Reign of Fire - Matthew McConaughey
How many of you forgot about how badass McConaughey was in this dragon slaying action film?! He sported some crazy cool tattoo art in it. »

Through True Detective, Matthew McConaughey has proved a master of the nihilistic, fatalistic observation — probably because he's been doing it for years. He's dabbled in darkness in such films as Reign of Fire and Mud, but has also tossed off a cynical remark or two in his most hammy rom-coms. With True Detective's season finale coming up this Sunday (or, in a flat-circle time line, has already happened this weekend), it's time to play True or False Detective: Look at the quotes below and click "True" if Rust said it and "False" if it came out of the mouth of a different McConaughey character. The answer will be revealed with a check for right or an X for wrong. Good luck, but you won't need it, as you've already got the score you'll always get. »

Actor known for swashbuckling, wisecracking roles has muscled in on Hollywood's top table with role in Dallas Buyers Club
With the Academy Awards taking place on 2 March, a once almost unthinkable name has edged to the front of the best actor pack: Matthew McConaughey, once the bronzed clown prince of the romcom. His film Dallas Buyers Club, which hits British cinemas this weekend, has already won him top prizes at the Golden Globes and the Screen Actors Guild awards. The Oscar narrative, for what it's worth, has his name pencilled in.
He plays Ron Woodroof, a roguish character with Aids who starts importing drug treatments, and generated many faux-concerned tabloid headlines for his gaunt appearance. His performance is far more than mere body shock, however.
"It's such a compelling, grand performance, that it bursts out of the seams of the film," says Danny Leigh, of the BBC's Film 2014. "It's »

Jackson Ball on the career resurgence of Matthew McConaughey....
Hollywood is often painted as a cruel, unforgiving place. A place where second chances are few and far-between and if you blow your 'big break', you are forgotten instantaneously. It sounds like quite a bleak environment to be around, so it's always reassuring when someone comes along and breaks the trend, seizing hold of a second chance with both hands. One such person is Mr. Matthew McConaughey.
Cast your minds back to 2009; McConaughey had just released the rather abysmal rom-com Ghosts of Girlfriends Past. This shocker capped off a good decades-worth of drivel for the actor, who seemed to be singled-handed stocking and restocking DVD bargain-bins the world over. McConaughey's main offences included barrel-scraping rom-coms (The Wedding Planner, Failure to Launch), unenjoyable 'adventure' films (Reign of Fire, Fool's Gold), and a variety of other flops (Two for the Money, »

The Oscar nominations are officially out! And they're...fine. We're happy for everyone. As we wait to see who takes home awards on the night, let's look back at the nominees' in the Best Actor categories best and worst movies. Their best movies weren't always "Oscar-worthy." Their worst movies were really bad. Best Actor: Christian Bale (nominated for American Hustle) Best Movie: American Psycho. Because this scene alone is the best work Christian Bale has ever done and is one of the best scenes in any movie ever. Worst Movie: Reign of Fire. You might think a movie about dragons taking over the world would, at the very least, be exciting (it's not). »

Rising costs of meat, dairy put a pinch on Wisconsin wallets
Updated On: Mar 25 2014 06:16:24 PM CDT
Brewers and Packers tailgate parties could be much more expensive this year.
"Pork prices in the last month went up 30 percent," said Dan Johnson of Danny's Meats & Catering.
He also said beef prices are up around 30 percent as well.
VIDEO: Meat prices on the rise
"Last year, for $10, you could get 3 pounds of ground chuck," he said. "This year, you're getting about 30 percent less meat for the same price."
The reasons range from a rise in feed costs to smaller herds. Bloomberg reports the U.S. domestic cattle herd is at its smallest number since 1951.
Johnson also said exports to China are limiting meat supplies in the U.S.
The USDA expects retail beef and poultry prices will rise 3 to 4 percent in 2014, along with egg and dairy prices.
Johnson said every summer the prices for meat go up anyway because of the added demand with grilling season.

Grateful for what I have.....
Last Thursday, DH and I left to go to work (we carpool) and our truck wouldn't start. So, with much irritation and attitude, we started up the Bronco and drove that to work. I was in the passenger's seat, grouching to myself when I realized that I was being ridiculous and so very ungrateful. Not everyone has a "spare" vehicle they can just hop into if their main vehicle breaks down. Most people would be calling a friend or family for a ride to work and here I was complaining because I don't particularly like driving the Bronco. What would be a MAJOR issue for most was only an irritation for me because we do have this spare vehicle. So I changed my attitude and headed off to work. Later in the day, I realized that I had saved myself from having a grouchy day by just changing my attitude and looking at the situation in the most positive light possible. Yes, the truck was still broken and it would probably cost a pretty penny to get it fixed but we had an alternate means of transportation and my life just wasn't that bad. So here's to positive thinking and not letting the negativity drown you.

SUBJECT: Sally Hogshead has a gift for YOU
Dear Readers, This post isn't about me. It's about YOU. Branding expert and leading authority on the science of fascination, Sally Hogshead, is publishing her new book How the World Sees You on July 1. To celebrate the insights gained from a decade of research, she is launching Project Fascination with the goal of showing 100,000 people how their personalities add value. As a part of this project, she's given me a special code (BL-Kimber1966 ) to share with to you. The first 100 people who use it to take her Fascination Advantage® assessment will receive the assessment for free! This has never been done before, and will only last until July 25. The best part is, you will trigger a chain reaction—a pay it forward situation. When you take the assessment using BL-Kimber1966, you will receive 100 assessments to share with your circle for free, too! That's $3700 of free market research at your fingertips! So how do you take the assessment? Simple. 1. Go to How The World Sees You .co m/you and use code BL-Kimber1966 . 2. Once you've taken the assessment, Sally's team will load 100 assessments into your new account. Rinse and repeat. That's it. Now you're ready to discover how your personality is custom built for certain situations, and which situations you should learn to avoid. And it only takes 5 minutes (you can even do it on your phone!) 28 questions. 5 minutes. A whole new way to communicate your value. Your Fascination Advantage® Report is the first big step towards knowing how your personality can be heard and remembered in an overcrowded market. Sharing the assessment will help others do the same. Find everything you need to put this knowledge into practice with your co-‐workers, close friends and significant other in Sally's new book, How the World Sees You. Remember that your code will expire July 25. Don't let this $3700 value go to waste! Take the Assessment today and encourage your friends and followers to do the same.

Anyone who knows our family knows that we LOVE animals. So, no one was really surprised when we added ECHO to the household. The humans all love her and the other animals are withholding judgement but leaning towards hate!

Copic Coloring
So I set up some crafting lunch hours at work because we don't always have time to get together on the weekend and today I spent my time coloring two new Saturated Canary images. I absolutely LOVE these images....I swear I would own them all if I could afford it!!!

Smiles for Everyone....and First Day of School
I was browsing Pinterest for something and ran across a link that eventually led me to this. If you place the cursor over the faces, they talk....I laughed all morning! At the very least, this should make you smile! Last night was also the first night of the Spring semester. Angel, Mike and I are all taking the same math class, which is hilarious! And then Mike and I are both taking English but different classes. It was a good first night and I am looking forward to the rest of the semester. I did think it was odd that school started on Martin Luther King Jr's official holiday. Community College can be so weird!

2014 Things Challenge
The new year has begun and my husband and I have decided to join the 2014 Things Challenge. You can find the specifics here. The gist of the challenge is to get rid of 2014 things during the year. The second part is that for every thing you bring into the house, you get rid of one thing. AND all of this should be done in the most responsible way possible....meaning not just tossing everything into the trash can. I am a borderline hoarder so I am really looking forward to getting rid of some clutter and making my home more comfortable. Last night I boxed up 201 magazines to donate to the library! 201! It was amazing how many magazines fit into this one shelf and they were so dusty (which obviously means I wasn't doing anything with them!) So I am ready for the challenge. Here's to a lighter 2014!

Copic Coloring Class
Tonight I went to a Basic Copic Coloring class at Simple Pleasures. The teacher of the class was Shelby and it was a "Bring A Friend" class. I went with Michelle and although I have a bunch of copics and love to color with them, I actually learned some new things. Shelby also teaches some more specific classes like People and Landscapes so if you have an opportunity, you should try out one of her classes. She's a really good teacher!

What are we doing to our children?
My beautiful God-Daughter came to spend the summer with us and I discovered that there are a LOT of things made for 8 year olds that shouldn't be. I do not believe that we should sexualize our children at this young age and then wonder why they want to dress so inappropriately at the age of 12 or 13. The reason why is that we have paved the way with inappropriate clothes while they are still children. I'll give you an example... I will call my God-daughter Dani for this post. Dani arrived in my home with clothes to wear for the summer. She had two bathing suits. One was a two-piece (which got thrown back in the box) and the other was a one piece with holes cut out of the sides. She's EIGHT....what exactly are you accenting with the cut-outs?? She is tall and lanky and awkward but both of those bathing suits make a statement. So I set off to buy her a plain bathing suit. Store after store after store revealed nothing but bathing suits with cut-outs, sheer panels, one strap, strapless, and itty bitty bikini tops and bottoms. It took FOREVER and about 15 stores before I found a plain suit in a cute print that was acceptable...and by acceptable I mean that it covered her whole body and she could play in it without worrying about it falling off. First day of summer camp....she comes upstairs in leggings and a tank top. Skin tight leggings and a skin tight tank top. Nope.....go change. Then we asked her our favorite question....Do you know what leggings would be called if they were pants? They'd be called PANTS. They are meant to add coverage under a long sweater or tunic or skirt....not to show off your tiny butt. While I took her shopping several times, I was appalled to find shirts with sheer backs, ruching to creative cleavage in the front, and tiny, tiny shorts that barely covered her underwear. Who is she trying to be sexy for? And let me go ahead and tell you that if you are someone who says, Oh that isn't sexy, it's cute. If you put that same style on an adult and it is meant to be sexy, it shouldn't be on a little girl. We are teaching our girls to objectify their bodies and then when they become teenagers, they have to go to even further extremes because this seems tame to them. After all, they wore it when they were children! Teach them respect for their bodies and let them dress like children. There is nothing wrong with knee length shorts or T-shirts or whole bathing suits.

Book Review
I just finished reading Let's Pretend This Never Happened (A Mostly True Memoir) by Jenny Lawson and I cannot recommend this book enough. If you are easily offended, you shouldn't be reading my blog in the first place and this is not a book for you. If, on the other hand, you want to read a book that will make you laugh OUT LOUD....even if you are reading at lunch in a restaurant and people are looking at you like you are insane!...then this book is for you.
I actually checked this out from the library but I am ordering my own copy from Amazon because it was so very funny! It also made me want to buy taxidermied animals in clothes....something I NEVER dreamed might be on my radar. Jenny writes in a very conversational style and you feel like she is talking to you and sharing these stories with you personally. The stories from her childhood are hysterical...maybe because I didn't live them!

Mini Album...the beginning
Archiver's had some paper packs for $4.99 and I bought two of them. (Even knowing that I do not need another piece of paper!!) I took half of one of them and cut the pages into 6x12 pieces. I then glued the pieces into pockets. I put them together and punched holes for rings. Then VOILA! I had a mini album. I have done a minimal amount to decorate but plan on fleshing it out. In the meantime, here are some pics of the base.
I've had this tag in my stash forever....so finally found a use for it!
This little card was sent to me ages and ages ago but I just used it here....you can lift the top and write inside...easy journaling spot.
Rub-on from Michael's Hot Spot!

St Patrick's Day Project
Since my last name is MONAGHAN and my husband and I both have ancestors from Ireland, we tend to celebrate St Patrick's Day. I found this adorable project on The Dating Divas website to make an "I'm lucky to have You!" project. You can see that here! I used their printable and then added my own card. I thought it turned out cute and I didn't embellish too much since it is for my husband and not me!
So there you have it.....my St Patrick's Day card for my husband. February hasn't even ended and I already have one St Patty's day card done! WOO HOO.....I am ahead of the game!!!

So I am in a card swap and I was feeling a little anxious because the cards are due on Feb 28th and I still need to mail them and they weren't finished. Well I finally buckled down today and got the cards finished. So here is my "Love" card....
I also made a card for Breast Cancer Awareness........
I have a hard time making a lot of duplicate cards....but I do love making cards! I am trying to buckle down and actually use each of the stamps or digi's that I own. I was looking at some cute Wizard of Oz digi's and called my friend, Cris, to talk me out of it and she suggested that I use each of the digi's that I already have before buying some more. Imagine that.....what a novel concept. I didn't buy the digi's but I did print out a bunch to color and try to use. Of course, I then shot myself in the foot by going to a local sctapping supply store and buying a BUNCH of rubber stamps that she had on sale for 50% off. I didn't need another stamp but she had some I simply couldn't resist. Most of them were word stamps to use in SMASHing or mixed media projects but I still really didn't need to buy anything else. OH WELL.....baby steps, right????

As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

Technical Committee on formation of Interim South West State approved
Addis Ababa, 18 July 2014 (WIC) - An 18-member Technical Committee on the Formation of Interim South West Administration has been approved at a ceremony held in Mogadishu.
The President, Prime Minister and the Speaker of Parliament r all attended the ceremony along with figures from south western Somali regions.
A press release from the office of the Prime Minister said the formation of the technical committee is an important first step towards the implementation of the agreement reached by the opposing sides in south western Somali regions on June 23.
Speaking after the formation of the new technical committee, President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud hailed the formation of the new committee as an important milestone towards achieving democratic and federal Somalia.
Meanwhile, Speaker Professor Mohamed Osman Jawari said the formation of the technical committee represents the foundation of the formation of an interim administration in south western Somali regions.
He hoped the technical committee would steer the process of forming an inclusive interim administration.
Prime Minister Abdiweli Sheikh Ahmed pledged full support from the government for the process of forming an inclusive interim administration representing all sides in South Western Somali regions.
He said "This process is critical to the advancement of federalism in our country and the formation of Federal Somali States in the country" The committee, whose members were selected based on the principle of inclusive politics and with careful consideration of the individual capacities of the members, will be supported by a team of Cabinet members under the leadership of the Prime Minister.

3 principals, supervisor hired
School board meets behind closed doors
|The Waterbury Board of Education made four administrative hires and promotions Thursday, including, from left to right, Tinker School Principal Darlene Cofrancesco; Reading and Language Arts Supervisor Steven A. Strand and West Side Middle School Red House Principal Rohinie Criscione. Jennifer A. Rosser, hired as Wilson School principal, was unable to attend the meeting. Michael Puffer / Republican-American
WATERBURY — School officials filled three principal vacancies and hired a new supervisor of reading and language arts during a short meeting Thursday evening.
The Board of Education held a special meeting to make the hires. Candidates passed three rounds of interviews before the meeting. The board met behind closed doors for about 15 minutes before the votes. Schools Chief Operating Officer Paul Guidone said it was for the purpose of discussing the candidates.

Jury continues to deliberate in Eaton Centre shooting trial

Michael Duggan is no stranger to brewing beer. He is the co-founder of...
Humble, dedicated and sincere are just a few of the words friends, colleagues and family used to describe the Learning Enrichment Foundation's (LEF) retiring board member James Fergus Brown.
Or as they call him: Fergy.
After 32 years of tireless work with the LEF, Brown, a past president of the foundation, was honoured at Tuesday night's 35th anniversary party after announcing his retirement.
"I told them a night like this...it really wasn't necessary," said Brown, to the crowd filled with church members, colleagues and city council members past and present.
Brown, one of the three founding members of the LEF, was overwhelmed by the kind words people shared about how he's impacted their lives through politics during his eight years as the mayor of the former city of York, through their time at LEF or even how he unknowingly played matchmaker.
"It's a little bit overwhelming to hear all the gratitude all at once," said Brown, who received a standing ovation at the end of his speech.
His daughter, Judy Ventura, was just as touched as he was at the outpouring of love, respect and admiration swirling around the room.
"It's wonderful that they've done this," said Ventura. "LEF was such a big part of Dad. I heard about it constantly."
Brown has been diagnosed with pulmonary fibrosis, a chronic disease that affects the lungs. The timeliness of the event couldn't have worked out better, according to Ventura.
"This really lifted his spirit," said Ventura. "He was really excited about tonight."
Brown was also honoured with a plaque to commemorate his time as president of the LEF from 2007 to 2009; a letter from Premier Dalton McGuinty expressing his appreciation for the hard work he's done; and a lifetime achievement certificate from Toronto Mayor Rob Ford for his work with the LEF.
MPP Mike Colle (Eglinton-Lawrence) was adamant that the LEF should be renamed The Fergy Brown Centre of the Learning Enrichment Foundation as a symbol to his devotion.
"He was their biggest supporter, champion, advocate, raised money, promoted it and got the money from different levels of government," said Colle.
"This was his love. To me when I think of the LEF, I think of Fergy Brown – the naming would be perfect."
Colle didn't waste any time and has already donated $100 to the cause and by the end of the night donations poured in.
"I can't think of anything more brilliant, to name the centre and underpin our values with Fergy's values," said LEF executive director Peter Frampton.
"I know it will have very serious consideration and it's good to know it's out there and on the table."
As for Brown, his humility got the best of him, as he insisted that the renaming of the centre wasn't necessary, as was all the praise. He was just glad he was there to help out.
"I enjoyed every minute of it," said Brown. "It's really been a labour of love."

So.... an OTHER thing about gravity and weight loss ....
The sag. And the illumination of sculptural perspectives.
It's about angles and visions. Selection and appreciation.
Joe took a couple of photos of me this weekend while I was using the foam roller to work out some hitches in my lower back muscles. They're doozies. They're different.
The aerial view that hides what's hanging are the best. They celebrate the new found frame (an Sparkaeological dig!!)
TheWacoal "minimizer bra" is doing a terrific job of smashing all that loose boobage into some kind of shape! Ha! I laugh. I appreciate. It's all good.
But...Hang on.... then there's the other view...
the one that shows the number of rings on this tree....
Having weighed 300lbs at 17, and then having gone up and down so many times (150-240) over 3 decades... well...
I make room for loving and accepting this too.
That's more what it feels like.
A lot of floating flesh still.
And then.... yep... ALL THIS FRAME... peeking through.
Who knows where it's gonna wind up?????
I'm just in it for the health now.
Pondering more about GRAVITY and LIGHTNESS....
I've decided to look into gymnastics or some kind of aerial class sometime.
I think it would be truly edifying. (No... I definitely have no interest in jumping out of an airplane!).
Spark Success --

Hi there. It's been a while.
As some of you may know, my illness of thre past month (since September really) brought with it some weight loss. A different kind of weight loss -- sudden, the product of pain and feeling out of power. And here I am now... on the mend (hooray) albeit slowly, and SUDDENLY feeling some bones that weren't there.
I got to move my body this week. Today I saw Tim and did some ST.
Tim knows my body by eye maybe better than anyone. He really noticed the drop. And because he has his own history of body size (athlete, builder, yoga, and more) and emotions (layers of power and identity) he is a TERRIFIC interlocuter, and a great friend to me in this process.
I love you Free Hawk with Blessed Son. (inside story to this).
In the 170's. Headed toward the 160's. Wow.
THE WEIGHT and GRAVITY of moving my body is DIFFERENT.
There's a grace. There's a lightness. An ease. Even a floating sense. I am reminded of past moments in life (decades ago) when at lower weights I sensed THE AIR (the unbearable lightness of being, perhaps?).
So the pivot and opening of the hips to make an archer pull back pose moves differently.
My bridge has a prominent pelvic bone, and the sack of wet laundry that was my behind is not that anymore. I jest. I have a habit of doing that. ANd it is time to break some habits.
Joe can pick me up off the ground now. Not easily. But he can do it. And before it was truly impossible. And.... I don't like it. I don't like the powerless possibility. Maybe I will learn to like being LIFTED. We'll see. But today I'm acutely aware of how ingrained and a part of ME being anchored and so solidly connected to the EARTH is.
There is something to the WEIGHT and GRAVITAS of being LARGE that must morph now into a new frame, a new kind of power.
And I'm inviting it.
I want to explore it.
The irony of being sick now. The weakness I have today from being sick combined with the lightness, combined with the desire to be strong and stay on this path.....
That's where I am today.
And I breathe it in. And I breathe it out.
And I'm here with it. Here with ME. Here with You. And wishing wanting GOOD THINGS TO COME.
The Cobbler's Children - Stone Soup - Button button who's got the button
I keep reaching (shadow-boxing style) for MORE but I have no idea How much is enough, or How much I can have! Actually, the only 'more' i'm reaching for is the punching of this burlap bag I've got myself in. I want to come out!
Over-eating like all substance patterns dumbs down one's world.... it invites isolation.
I've grown and accomplished and coped with demands over the years.
Like being on a LIFE DIET. Restricted.
Am I afraid? ...that
I want more than what I can have. So my answer is to want less. To want ... nothing?
(This is an obvious analysis knowing from various therapists that I was "not properly seen" as a child... yadda yadda yadda... wtf).
Scale down. Scale down. Make it impossible to fail. These are not winning strategies.
REACH for the stars. SHINE your light. That's what winning striving living breathing energy does.
And so.... This old lady says.... Can I change? Can I ? How can I? What can I do?
The scarcity:abundance dynamics of OBESITY and EATING disorders are fascinating and compelling. The saturation / volume of people with these problems today is probably not so much coincidence (culturally there is something 'in the water'). I can't write about this.
I have often wondered if there is a FAT GIRL BOOK, or Done Being the Fat Girl Book, or a more family counseling oriented book about how BEING FAT impacts FAMILIES.
I write well. So I'm told. I would need a mentor and an editor to frame a project and follow through. Maybe a collaborateur.
I need work. My resume seems to have expired. I don't know what to look for or how to present myself.
What do I want?
I no longer want kids.
I no longer want to renovate a house.
I do want to nest and make a better quality home than the too-scrappy hovel i've rented for an embarrassingly long time. (long enough to be like too many cats).
I want to be smaller, to be lighter, to be healthier. To be happier. The smaller and healthier I am making great strides with over the past more than a year.
It's been a lifetime of false starts. Or. No. A lifetime of not getting it.
Am I getting it now? I'm getting more of it I think.
I am.
There's more than getting smaller and healthier.
PART OF THE PROCESS is/ must be/ seems to be.................................
The Alice-in-Wonderland distortions of decades are tired, are done. There's no hat to put on or off, nor any red shoes to click.
My best friend through word of mouth found a GREAT CONDO this past month. I helped a bit with the move this weekend. I am thrilled for her! Truly. Deeply.
And I am STUNNED into Desire and wistfulness and the lack and limitation that has been my normal for so long.
Japanese women and their feet?
Bonsai trees and their wires?
I did not follow through on my musical aspirations.
I did not follow through on my writing aspirations.
I did not follow through on my counseling abilities which could be aspirations.
I shied away from people. I did not aspire.
I love to inspire and to collaborate. I want to make more of an positive impact in my world.
There's a job I should apply for this month. I've forgotton how to write a cover letter. I'm sure my resume needs revision. I've never taken the GRE. I have ulcerative colitis and am off for another colonoscopy on Wednesday.
Where does the time go?
"When you stand still, you reject the struggle, and you refuse to change and grow. Ultimately, you reject fulfillment, happiness, the dance for joy and everything else that is eternally good."
~Matthew Kelly, classical actor and game show host
"I do not believe in stagnating; I believe in embracing and affecting change. I am becoming the kind of person who has as much love and passion for herself as for others. I have been sparked and my flame shines oh so brightly!!!

BMR 1491 lightly active (5'4", 53yrs, 182lbs)
If I want to lose a pound a week I need a deficit of 3500/wk.
How to get there? And does this sound right or wrong to you wise Sparkfriend comrades?
*Eating 1491 daily means wt loss has to be ALL exercise
*3500/ 350 means 10 days of exercise for every pound
*OR REDUCE INTAKE TO 1200/day means
290 credit per day x 7 = 2030 wk
With additional 1500/week needed from exercise 1500/350 =
DEFICIT OF 3500/week = 1 LB
***I need a burn of 375 per session with minimum of 4 sessions per week to make 1500/wk
375 x 4 = 1500
***I need to eat LESS 1205 calories a day to make deficit of 2000/wk
***1491 minus 286 means a calorie intake of 1205/calories day
Calorie Allotment 1205/day
Breakfast 350
Lunch 330
Dinner 350
Leaves 165 for snacks
Right? Wrong? Jiggle it? Let me know if this makes sense for a JumpStart

Question & Answers
Answer from: Bucky
Nobody knows how to beat the big one. you defeat the hydra guys that come up, then he bashes his fist down and you jump on it. but after that all that happens is you get blasted off. you can't attack the robot, or use your shield to block the blast or throw your shield at anything useful. it's just a flaw in the wii version of the game that no one can get past that point. that is why you can't find walkthrough's for the wii version of this game, only for the versions that are winnable like xbox and ps3. go to youtube and you can find video walkthroughs for the wii captain america game, but the walkthrough's all mysteriously end before getting to this part with the giant zola robot because they know that they can't defeat it and don't want to look bad on their walktrough.
Answer from: Marvelous Man
The big robot is a toughy and started on him last night. Thought it was me, being tired and all but got up this morning and thought I'd Google some answers. I finally did it and just so we know we're on the same page, this was the Wii version and 1st wave you have to blow up his left arm, 2nd wave his right arm and 3rd wave there is 2 robotos and the woman to beat. I had at least 200-300 goes on the first wave nd then tried holding the control differently. Instead of holding from underneath, I clasped the control from the top and repeatedly pressed A using my finger that is next to my right thumb. I am a right-hander and found this worked better. Also on the 2nd and 3rd waves the beam started coming at me but I kept pressing A and eventually the beam started receding back to the robot and blew him up. Also there is another bit after you beat the 2 robots and the woman. I tried the old way and didn't work then swithched over and did it first time.

New insight sheds light on old problem
Find a Conversation
|Tue, 02-15-2011 - 12:29pm
Hi Everyone -
I've posted in the past about issues in my family - namely lack of support from family members, and I posted specifically about one of my brothers.
Recently I was talking to my brother's former wife - I'll call her "Lydia" - and things she told me have shed new light on this issue.
|Tue, 02-15-2011 - 2:01pm
Yes, I do believe he's making the new wife priority in his life over his kids and family. As far as the "Fab Four" thing, I do agree that they are leaving their grown sons out, but it could also be a card from the "household". Since the older
|Tue, 02-15-2011 - 2:03pm
I wouldn't say anything to him. And don't feel too sorry for him if he's regularly distancing himself from his older children. He did that, no woman could force him to.
And do you think there's any chance that they really couldn't go to his son's wedding in Mexico, but now have more money? I agree it looks bad... but sometimes it's not clear.
I've found that most any parenting advice, even to the people that could use it the MOST... won't be well received.
|Tue, 02-15-2011 - 2:51pm
I might give them the benefit of the doubt and expand the "Fab Four" to include the entire household, but for the fact this new sis-in-law has done some pretty eyebrow-raising stunts, not least of which is the fact that the invitation she sent out for the family event (their twins' baptism) is scheduled on the same day as her stepson's (my nephew's) golden birthday...no regard or nod to the fact that it is his birthday - golden or otherwise.
|Tue, 02-15-2011 - 6:43pm
Sorry but I would call your sil on it next time you see her in person. I would take her and brother aside and say i thought the fab four thing was very cut ehowever it is rather disrespectful of brothers other children (no matter if they are grown or live w/ bio mom or what JMHO) and perhaps she may want to think through her catch lines moer carefully.
|Tue, 02-15-2011 - 10:05pm
It does seem that your nephews are being shut out. I was in your nephews' shoes years ago. My dad remarried and the step - monster did her best to shut us out too. One day, my dad woke up, smelled the coffee and gave her the pink slip. Now our relationship is back to where it was before. As if nothing ever happened, so there is hope for your nephews' relationship with their dad. One of two things could happen. A) He could grow a pair of cohonies and tell her to back off or B) he could grow a pair of cohonies and give her the pink slip. Hopefully one of those two things will happen.
Yes having the baptism at the same time as the milestone birthday, is a slap in the face to your nephew. You could say say something to her and your brother, but I'm not sure they'll receive it. We've talked and talked with dear Dad till we were blue in the face and it took years for him to think about all these issues. A lot of guys like to sweep these things under the rug. No offense to guys, but men generally have a low tolerance for drama.

BREASTFEEDING - Just 10 Steps! The Baby-Friendly Way
This year also marks the 20th anniversary of the 'Innocenti Declaration' in 1990 which sought to improve the rates of breastfeeding by establishing the Ten Steps in all maternity facilities. In remembrance of this initiative two decades ago, and as a follow-up of its progress, the theme for World Breastfeeding Week 2010, is aptly - "Breastfeeding in Just 10 Simple Steps".
The Innocenti Declaration endeavored to implement the "Ten Steps to Breastfeeding" in all maternities by 1995. Now, after twenty years have passed, more than 152 countries have baby-friendly hospitals which have contributed their mite to promote exclusive breastfeeding, as well as impede the promotion of commercial infant formula to the public. Further, the ten steps to breastfeeding have been fully implemented in 28% of all maternities in the world, which has the stamp of approval from the Baby-friendly Hospital Initiative (BFHI).
Ten Steps to Successful Breastfeeding
Undoubtedly, health care facilities play a crucial part in promoting breastfeeding and it is here that the Ten Steps come in handy to train healthcare workers adequately in this area so that they are equipped to offer assistance and support to breastfeeding mothers.
It is imperative for every facility with maternity services and care for newborn infants to follow these steps:
1. It is a must to have a clearly worded breastfeeding policy which is regularly communicated to all the healthcare staff.
2. All healthcare staff must be trained in the skills required to execute the policy.
3. All pregnant women need to be informed about the importance of breastfeeding, its benefits and management.
4. Mothers should be provided adequate assistance to initiate breastfeeding within half-hour of birth.
5. Mothers should be taught how to breastfeed and maintain lactation should they have to stay away from their infants.
6. Underline the importance of giving newborns only breast milk and no other food or drink.
7. Inculcate rooming in - which is ensuring mothers and infants are always together throughout (24 hrs).
8. Educate mothers to breastfeed on demand.
9. Ensure artificial teats or pacifiers are not given to breastfeeding infants.
10. Encourage the establishment of breastfeeding support groups so that mothers can seek their guidance after discharge from the hospital.
Know Why Breast Milk is the Best
Breast-feeding is wholesome and absolute nourishment for the baby during the initial 6 months. It is important to exclusively breast feed the child during the first six months without the requirement of other milk, food or water.
Colostrum, the pale yellow first milk present in the initial 2-3 days following birth provides resistance against infections and diseases.
Adequate calories are contained in breast milk with the right amount of fat, lactose, vitamins, minerals, water and enzymes, just right for baby's needs.
It is completely free of germs and bacteria and can guard the baby from any infection. Further, it has protective ingredients which inhibit the growth of bacteria in the intestine, the leading cause of diarrhea in infants.
Breast milk is economical and free from contamination. No preparation time is required as it is always ready when the baby needs.
Breast milk goes beyond being just 'food' for the baby. It enhances bonding between the mother and child, providing security, warmth and comfort to the infant.
Nature's Recipe for Life Long Health - Breast Milk
There are innumerable life-long benefits of breast milk and some are listed below:
Breast feeding offers protection against respiratory illnesses.
Incidences of heart disease, diabetes, and allergic conditions are less in breastfed babies.
Breastfeeding gives an impetus to the development of the brain. Babies fed on breast milk portray higher intelligence quotient than infants on other baby food.
Breast feeding mothers regain their pre-pregnancy weight much faster than mothers who do not breast feed.
Risk of breast and ovarian cancers is much less in women who have breast fed.
A mother's role in the development of her child is immense, much more than words can describe. Perhaps the first and most significant step in this direction is Breast feeding, a guarantee for life-long health.
- Breast-feeding is wholesome and absolute nourishment for the baby during the initial 6 months
- Feed newborns only breast milk and ensure no other food or drink given
- Breast-feeding enhances bonding between the mother and child

Ask Bookseller a Question
AbeBooks Bookseller Since: September 16, 2005
PRIVATE LIBRARY SALES: the on-line gradual disposal of purely personal possessions; specifically books acquired over a lifetime purely for my own enjoyment rather than as stock in trade. As a merely part-time and strictly non-professional, non-trading seller this retired private individual, for reasons of age, infirmity and the need to release tied-up capital, is reluctantly disposing, on-line only, of items selected individually on the basis of interest, scarcity and condition. (I cannot usually offer repeated listings of the same title nor sets or collections.) These items are all chosen from an excessively large domestic private library accumulated for purely personal enjoyment over the years through inheritance, gift and collection. This library comprises mainly of out of print non-fiction within a variety of specialist areas, both academic and non-academic. In the furtherance of both domestic downsizing and capital release this whole library is subject to an on-going long term culling; firstly by disposal for recycling, secondly by charity donation and, finally, by selective on-line sale. Currently the major part of this private library still remains in reserve pending eventual disposal. DISCLAIMER: Neither in the past nor currently have books been purposely acquired in order to sell; I have no web site of my own and do not patronise auctions, book fairs, or car boot sales etc; I do not advertise off-line or sell books from any source other than my own personal library. As an individual distance seller, listing on AbeBooks though without trading there, I am merely selectively selling off some personal possessions, specifically books. I am not a book dealer so am not in the book trade; proceeds from the sale of mere personal possessions, as against those from trade sales, cannot yield any trading profit. Rather, I am merely a non-trading private seller; an elderly, part-time, non-commercial seller who, of necessity, is running down their own now far too extensive private library. Therefore offers from the public or trade of books for me to purchase are neither solicited nor accepted. As an amateur, private seller I am not in any trade association and regret that trade discounts are unavailable. I am unable to accept personal enquiries except via AbeBooks and cannot myself accept either direct orders or direct payments by credit/debit card or PayPal. PLEASE NOTE: Firstly 'New', as a condition grading here, does not imply any particular provenance. Thus a proportion of this seller's books, including some donated former bookshop stock, are graded 'New' and listed as such solely on the basis of actual physical condition at sale, regardless of provenance, e.g. whether or not previously owned; i.e. they are brand new, unused, unread, perfect, pristine as published and therefore listed, provenance-neutral, as 'New'. (Mere change in ownership does not of itself imply any deterioration in physical condition; previously owned books are not necessarily regarded here as "used" since they may, exceptionally, still remain unused, i.e. pristine, and therefore 'New' despite having been already retailed. Other, 'As New', listings are seemingly perfect but may actually have some slight imperfection. Such New and As New items are listed preferentially.) Secondly, no part of this diminishing library, including that small part subject to on-going listing for sale, will have ever been originally acquired by me from any publisher, wholesaler, distributor, retailer, dealer or even private individual with the then intention of selling later, whether on or off-line.
Books listed on AbeBooks sold via AbeBooks e-commerce intermediary card processing (and there ONLY by Visa /Master card.)
PLEASE NOTE: This seller's minority of 'New' books are condition-graded as such solely on the basis of actual physical condition at sale, regardless of provenance, e.g. whether or not previously owned; i.e. they are unused, perfect, pristine as published and therefore listed 'New'; mere change in ownership need not in itself imply any change in physical condition; previously ...
