In the Garden
Every year a new plant catches everyone's attention, and this year the gardening buzz is all about Stachys "Bello Grigio."
The foliage of this unique lambs' ears (Stachys byzantine) relative is so soft and fuzzy, no one can resist petting it. The most stunning attribute of 'Bello Grigio,' however, is its brilliant silver-white footlong leaves. It mixes well with perennial and annual flowers of practically any color; plus the bold foliage contrasts beautifully with a wide variety of forms and textures.
It's a great candidate to liven up the front of the border, but it's a real knockout in containers where its spiky form adds a huge "oh, la, la!" factor to any design. Stachys 'Bello Grigio,' by the way, is strictly a foliage plant. Evidently, it only flowers when it's about to die.
Speaking of which, this evergreen perennial is so new, even though it is thought to be hardy to about minus 30 degrees, no one is sure it will survive our cold, soggy Puget Sound winters. It is purported to prefer a sunny location and well-drained soil.
Hey, a plant this showy is worth buying even if it only lives one season, but if you don't want to miss out, buy one soon. I've seen them at many nurseries but they've been flying off the shelves, and there's a good chance they will sell out early in the season.
Create a succulent "pizza"
Impress the living tweetle out of everyone by planting up a succulent "pizza." Begin by purchasing a wide, shallow pot making sure there are adequate holes for drainage. Then visit your local nursery to choose some showy succulents. The ones that look best in a pizza are those that feature rosettes of colorful leaves.
One of the showiest is Kalanchoe thyrisiflora (aka paddle plant). This South African beauty is adorned with large rounded, fleshy, grayish-green leaves margined in red. Equally spectacular is Aeonium arboretum 'Schwarzkopf,' known as the black rose. This gorgeous succulent features 6-inch-wide rosettes of black-satin leaves perched atop purple stems.
No succulent pizza is complete without the addition of a few Echiverias. These Mexican cuties come in a wide variety of psychedelic colors. The leaves are often wavy or frilly and some varieties are even encrusted with exotic warty bumps.
Once you've made your selection, it's time to pot them up. Use cactus soil and cram the plants in as tightly as possible to create a full look. For an extra attractive appearance, cover the soil surface with a top-dressing of colorful pea-gravel pebbles available at your local nursery.
Keep your succulent pizza in the hottest, sunniest location possible, and water whenever the surface looks dry. Fertilize with full-strength houseplant food once per month to encourage the plants to grow big and beautiful.
Keep your potted pizza looking good for a number of years by overwintering it in the house or an unheated garage by a bright window or under a grow light. Water very sparingly until you move the pizza outdoors in mid-spring to once again show off your masterpiece.

James Bond, 007, has a "license to kill." Under the expanded self-defense laws in 22 states known as "stand your ground," lawmakers have effectively issued a license to kill to anyone walking the streets.
I have many problems with "stand your ground" laws. A number of studies show that violence has risen in the states that have them. (In Florida, gun deaths were once on the decline, but rocketed by 200 in the first two years after its legislature passed its "stand your ground" law in 2005).

It's High Time Marvel Dabbles With R-Rated Superhero Movies, So Which Directors Should Make Them?
Features By Nathan Adams on May 8, 2013 | Comments (9)The head of Marvel Studios and one of the masterminds behind their current, stupendously successful franchise building strategy, Kevin Feige, recently did an interview with Entertainment Weekly, and not only did he address all of the plans they have for Marvel Phase II, the series of films that are going to lead up to their next team-up spectacular, The Avengers 2, but he also dropped the bomb that a group of characters who used to be under various other studios' controls were now back in the Marvel fold. According to an excerpt from the interview pulled out by Comic Book Movie, Daredevil, The Punisher, Ghost Rider, and Blade are now back under Marvel Studios control—but that doesn't necessarily mean that the House of Ideas has any immediate plans for them. Feige was quoted as saying, "Whenever a character comes back to us, it's usually because the other studios don't want to make the movies anymore—and that usually means the [previous] movies may not have been particularly well received. They all have potential, but we're not going to say, 'We got it back—make it!'" With all due respect Mr. Feige, screw that. There's a perfect way to reintroduce all of these abused characters to the big screen, and it's staring us right in the face.
Take a Look Behind-the-Scenes of Tom Jane's Punisher Short 'Dirty Laundry'
Behind the Scenes By Robert Fure on August 20, 2012 | Comments (1)At the 2012 San Diego Comic Con we got an exclusive first look at Tom Jane's Dirty Laundry, a short film that saw the fan favorite actor return to the role of Frank Castle – The Punisher. It was an awesome, violent piece that got a lot of people hungry for a new bad-ass movie. If you liked the short, which you can see here, or if you just like seeing how things are done, we present to you a Behind-the-Scenes short on the making of Raw Studios' Dirty Laundry. We get to see plenty of Tom Jane, the active directing style, the fight choreography, and most interesting to me, some insight into how they executed the disgustingly vicious double-leg break!
Watch: Tom Jane Returns as The Punisher in 'Dirty Laundry'
Exclusive By Robert Fure on July 16, 2012 | Comments (33)Hello Friends of Frank! Just recently we brought you the news that at San Diego Comic-Con Tom Jane, Tim Bradstreet, and the RAW Studios crew sent a room full of Punisher fans into a tizzy when they screened a short film about a bad ass stranger cleaning up the streets – only to have it revealed that said stranger was Frank Castle, The Punisher! Telling you about it was one thing, but how would you like to actually see it? You're in luck, true believer, because we've managed to get a hold of the video and you can check it out right here, right now: likely for a limited time, so act fast!
Comic-Con 2012: Tom Jane Back as The Punisher and a Bad Planet Video Game
Comic-Con By Robert Fure on July 15, 2012 | Comments (27)When I arrived to check out the RAW Studios Panel, the brainchild of actor/writer/director Tom Jane and master illustrator Tim Bradstreet, I was a bit early and took a seat for the 10th Anniversary of something called Courtney Crumrin, which from what I could tell, was an innocent enough book as they talked about there being no real cursing, no sex, and a children friendly Victorian something or other. As they went on and as the RAW panel came closer and closer, the room got decidedly more rock and roll as guys dressed as The Punisher came in with girls in tight mini-dresses and the number of beards in the room roughly quintupled. Once our rough and tumble crowd of around 250 people took over the room, it was time for the RAW panel to begin – though some technical difficulties shifted the schedule around and we started with an announcement that the 1980's anthology series Alien Worlds was being relaunched by the team, with master fantasy artist William Stout on board to rock out one of the first stories: Before & Afta, which will feature dinosaurs!
Death is a funny thing. Or maybe it's not. I guess it really depends on the circumstances. It could be hilarious, like Weekend at Bernie's or it could be tragic, like some kid left in a hot car too long. Either way, I want to see more of it. Specifically, I want to see more of it on network television, but cable and premium channels can take notes too. Why do I want more death? Because sometimes a character or story calls for it. We like shows about ultimate badasses. USA's Burn Notice is very popular and used to be amazing – now it's just pretty good – and it's about an ultimate badass. A superspy who used to be heartless and presumably handed out death like candy. He's teamed up with an ex-Navy SEAL, world renowned for their killing progress, and his terrorist IRA girlfriend who has definitely blown people up. When you take three of the most dangerous people on Earth and set them against really bad men, you'd expect a lot of blood, right? Wrong. Michael Westen has killed maybe one person in five years. Not very badass. So come on, let's kill more people.
Channel Guide: Five Comic Book Characters That Would Make Great TV
Features By Merrill Barr on April 27, 2011 | Comments (12)With Smallville ending in a few weeks, Human Target (unfortunately) hanging on by a the skin of its teeth in ratings, The Incredible Hulk in pre-production and the Wonder Woman pilot now shot and awaiting word on series pickup possibilities, this is a great time to discuss what other comic book franchises would be well served by a live action TV adaptation. So without any ado at all, I offer five comic book franchises that would make great TV and the networks that would make the best match.
Ray Stevenson Might Punish Audiences Again
Movie News By Scott Beggs on March 9, 2011 | Comments (7)When I was in 3rd grade, I discovered the magic of the merry-go-round at a local park. Shortly after that, I discovered the magic of throwing up after going around one too many times. I can't help but remember heaving behind my elementary school when hearing the news that Ray Stevenson has spoken to Marvel about taking another go-round on The Punisher. It's not that Stevenson was bad as Frank Castle, it's that the Punisher films have been so terrible so far. Like the Keaton/Bale debate, Tom Jane brought the acting to the pain of Frank Castle while Stevenson brought the bad ass, but overall, both movies were lacking for other reason. War Zone especially. It all felt like a badly drawn cartoon from a meth addict. In a way, it feels like they already took "another shot" at The Punisher and they ended up with a worse movie, so why hop on the ride again? We all know that's not true, though. The truth is that Columbia and Lionsgate already took a second shot at it, but Marvel hasn't even been up to bat. That's the real news here. With The Avengers somehow already on the horizon, Marvel is looking to branch out, and they've snagged the rights to Frank Castle's story back from Lionsgate. Seeing The Punisher in house at Marvel might be the key to success. It has been for other characters so far. Now if they could only splice Jane and Stevenson together, they'll have the […]

If it's blood you want, it is blood you're gonna get. For all its faults — and there are quite a few — Lexi Alexander's Punisher: War Zone does certainly live up to its name. Or at least, the second part of its name.

Game on: Senate President David Williams is sweating over another suspicious judicial appointment by Gov. Steve Beshear. It is expected the governor will appoint Majority Leader Dan Kelly to a vacant circuit judgeship, which Williams says is all about plucking another Republican from the Senate. After Beshear's slot machine legislation failed to pass in the General Assembly, he was often quoted as saying either we need to change the state senator's minds or change some state senators. Let the gamesmanship begin.
Sagger like us: In case you missed it, yes, a Metro Council committee passed that silly anti-sagging resolution that encourages citizens to pull up their pants. It goes before the full council next week.
Kids in the town hall: Congressman John Yarmuth's first and only in-person town hall meeting went as well as it can be expected. The health care forum drew a 1,400 plus crowd that cheered and booed the congressman at just about every chance it got. The jeers grew louder when he voiced support of a government-provided public insurance option and applause roared when Yarmuth said no one should die because they cannot afford health care. Now it's back to Washington to see if President Obama can make up for his rookie mistakes.
Charles in charge: It's a rumor that's being denied, but ABC World News anchorman Charlie Gibson is reportedly "livid" over the choice of Diane Sawyer as his replacement.
End these times: San Francisco News & Review's Jeff vonKaenel, a veteran in the alt-weekly newspaper business says citizens should soon be prepared to live without daily newspapers. Is he right about a post-daily journalism world? Let's hope not.

Police Say Man Accused In Delhi Gang Rape Has Committed Suicide
Ram Singh's lawyer: "There were no circumstances which could have led to Ram Singh committing suicide. There was no mental stress. He was very happy."
Indians light candles and mourn the death of a gang rape victim, in Hyderabad, India, Saturday, Dec. 29, 2012. Shocked Indians on Saturday were mourning the death of the woman who was gang-raped and beaten on a bus in New Delhi nearly two weeks ago in an ordeal that galvanized people to demand greater protection for women from sexual violence.
NEW DELHI (AP) — A man on trial for the gang rape and fatal beating of a woman aboard a bus in New Delhi committed suicide in an Indian jail early Monday, raising further questions about a criminal justice system already criticized for failing to protect the nation's women.
Ram Singh, who was accused of driving the bus on which the 23-year-old student was raped by a group of six men in December, was under suicide watch at New Delhi's Tihar Jail when he hanged himself with his own clothes at about 5:30 a.m., police officials said.
Singh and his four fellow defendants were facing the death penalty if convicted of the attack, which horrified Indians and set off national protests. A sixth accused is being tried and jailed separately because he is a juvenile.

This is the first lip gloss I found that is not sticky or have a nasty taste to it. I found it at CVS on sale. The lip applicator is better than a roll on. It glides the gloss evenly on my lips without the caked-on effect. And the taste is a bonus. It's great to use alone or accompany a barely there lipstick. It shines perfectly without being too attracting. Great quality at a great price!
I love this! The smell is lush and surprisingly it actually tastes good too. I'm not usually a fan of lip glosses but this one isn't all gloopy and sticky. It feels just like a lip-balm but less waxy and gives more of a shine. Great product, really hard to find in the UK unless you get it online which means you have to pay double or triple the price. So the downside of the product is how difficult it is to get. Also the packaging is cute but the lid can crack easily which can cause the product to leak :(
I recently rediscovered (by "rediscovered", I mean that I retrieved this from the No Man's Land that is my junk beauty drawer) this product, and have to say that I've come to like it.
Like all Bonne Bell lip products, this is a scented product that has an artificial flavor.
The one I'm reviewing is in "Strawberry Kiwi"; it's an overly sweet scent that can be off-putting for some.
On my lips this has a somewhat oily/greasy texture, which makes it perfect for softening dry, chapped lips. It is, also, in no way thick or sticky like a standard lip gloss.
The only con of this product is the cheap packaging. The plastic cracked a bit on the wand handle while I was closing it.
I love everything about it . The fact that it's never sticky, smells and taste yummy, don't cost alot . Perfect :)
I love Bonne Bell Lip Smackers. I wear them to bed every night & wake up with super soft lips. However with that being said - I would not repurchase Strawberry Kiwi. In my opinion...its plastic flavored. Usually this wouldn't bother me at all but I wake up in the morning with a nasty taste in my mouth. The regular Strawberry one is delicious though!
I love tis lipgloss, it smells delicious and isn't sticky at all, but makes my lips sparkly without glitter, defenitely recommend
I love this gloss because it's pretty cheap, it is clear and nnatural looking without waaay too much shine and it tastes -OMG- sooo delish! Like sweet strawberry and fresh kiwi and lime, yumm! I lurve this gloss ♥
Loooooooooooove this gloss! I've got about 30 lipsmackers from liquids to balms, but i keep coming back to this one! Mmm fruity and delicious!

Looks, smells and tastes amazing!! Only problem is that it is in a small tube. I used to love the sugar crystals one and i must purchase one of those soon! EDIT: the small tube isnt always worth the price

Does a single skin extension need dry-lining
I am buying a house and in the surveyors report he has commented that the single skin extension needs to be dry-lined in order to prevent damp.
The extension does not sit below the damp course and there is no evidence currently of damp (the extension is 6 years old).
Is this a serious issue? Could I monitor the situation and get the work carried out later if damp becomes apparent?

Dear Steve.
It depends on the use of this extension and the depth of the leaf. If the extension has been recently then it should have building regs approval. This is the most important element to check with first. If it does not have building regs approval ( a completion certificate issued by the local area building control officer), then this extension should not be treated as anything other than an out house and should not be considered a part of the dwelling area. ( cost wise, a properly constructed extension could add 1000's to your property value and if not constructed properly, it is generally worthless and could reduce the value by the same amount. If it does have building regs i.e a completion certificate, and there is no signs of dampness, then I would say you have little to worry about. Not all wall designs are cavity walls but in general terms, any other type of wall construction would need to convince the building control officer that the proposed building system complies with the building regulations. Depending on your locations, e.g England, Wales, Scotland or NI, then the regs and building systems differ. If you are on an elevated unsheltered costal area then I would be greatly surprised if there was no drainage plane or cavity. Perhaps some other type of rain screen has been used on the outside or a good waterproof render. Maybe your wall has a 225 solid wall or cavity block with an external insulated render. There are many systems but as said, check for the completion cert first. Hope this is of some assistance. Kind regards, Kieran Gannon Chartered Builder.- Gannon CC 13th Aug, 2011

Important Information >>
Vertical Lumber Organizer Before I installed this vertical storage rack, my lumber was hard to manage and a housekeeping nightmare. I could never find the piece I wanted, and removing a board from the back of the stack was sure to cause trouble. Finally, after a major board slide, I decided to take action. I drilled holes and installed 1-in.-dia. dowels in a 2x4 that I anchored to the wall. Mounting it diagonally allows me to separate my boards by length. Eye screws and chains help to secure them. A raised exterior-grade plywood shelf keeps the boards off the floor, so they don't absorb moisture from the concrete.
This looks great! I have exactly the same problem. Thanks for posting this project. I think I'll make one
Add some 1" X 1" cleats on the bottom platform, directly under each of the dowels, and you'll have a completely secure storage solution.
great idea, thanks for the post

An unconventional frac job requires 5 million gal of water on average. About 50-80% of this amount will flow back to surface within the first few weeks of production. In many cases, this flowback is being treated and reused on subsequent wells. Where commercial disposal wells are available, produced water is often reinjected at a lower cost than recycling. Dry fracing, or waterless fracing, may soon take water out of the equation for some operators.
Obtaining fresh water can be problematic in arid regions such as in South Texas, a region prone to drought. In other regions, such as Pennsylvania's Marcellus shale, disposing of water through deep well injection is extremely limited. Operators typically recycle and reuse water or transport via truck to disposal wells in Ohio.
According to a study published by World Resources Institute, nearly 47% of all unconventional wells are located in areas with high or extremely high baseline water stress. Limited supply and risks of contamination will translate into technological advancement within the next few years. Recycling and reuse technology is already used in many North American plays, but newer methods may remove water from the equation.
Closing the loop
Industry problems are often addressed through technological solutions. Calgary-based GasFrac Energy Services Inc. developed its closed-loop stimulation process in 2008, which uses a propane-butane gel to produce hydraulic fractures in horizontal wells. The company has used the process in more than 2,000 completions in 758 locations in Canada and the US.
The waterless system has recently made headway in the Eagle Ford shale of South Texas. The company has opened a base in Floresville, Tex., and its system is improving production for some operators. San Antonio-based BlackBrush Oil & Gas LP has announced its success in using the technology to avoid finding and managing access to freshwater in its Eagle Ford operations. To date, the companies have completed 20 wells using gas in place of water with a 100% increase in initial production.
"It has to be applied to the right well," explained Eric Tudor, spokesman for GasFrac. Deeper wells can be problematic as gas can prove more difficult to pressurize downhole.
"Using hydrocarbons to fracture these wells, which tend to be under-saturated, is ideal," Tudor said. "The clay effectively optimizes completion as the gas does not react with clay. Effective frac lengths turn out to be longer than those created with water." Ultimately, this enables higher initial and long-term production.
The LPG gel properties include low surface tension, low viscosity, and low density, along with solubility within naturally occurring reservoir hydrocarbons. The system also has the ability to evenly distribute proppant with the gelled slurry during pumping, which decreases the chance of proppant settling within the formation. The gel regains permeability with the stimulated hydrocarbons, allowing 100% recovery within the early phase of production.
GasFrac first deployed its system in 2008. This was the company's first "dual crew" project completed on the Cardium and Falher formations in the Edson, Alta., Canada area. |
One risk associated with the process is the use of flammable natural gas. "The system is completely closed-loop," Tudor said, adding, "The industry is well-versed in handling flammable liquids safely."
Using flammable material in hydraulic fracturing has raised some skepticism. Unrelated to this system, Houston-based eCORP Stimulation Technologies LLC reported in April that it plans to develop a system to render liquid propane as a nonflammable stimulation fluid. Should the system work, it could dramatically widen the application of waterless fracing throughout North America.
Technology expansion
From an atmospheric standpoint, propane, butane, and pentane are not greenhouse gases. With relatively short atmospheric lifetimes, there are no essential concerns drawn from fracing with gas as opposed to water.
Geographically, South Texas is well-suited for the outgrowth of waterless fracing. Propane used for the process is supplied from Corpus Christi, Tex., on the Gulf Coast. For the Eagle Ford shale, this ample supply of gas ensures seamless activity with no real pressure on demand. While the company's Eagle Ford operations are well supplied, moving to liquids from the field is most likely a natural evolution for the process. "With a big enough project, using liquids-rich gas may become feasible in time," Tudor said. "Onsite recycling of natural gas is a 'next step' as the technology is advanced."
In 2012, fewer than 5% of wells stimulated in the US used fluids other than water. As recycling technology advances, and waterless fracing continues to spread, more water may be left at its source in the coming years. While water can be considered an ample—yet finite—resource, the landscape for its open use is continually evolving, particularly where unconventional development is concerned. According to Tudor, "Freshwater may not be used in the same way 10 years from now." And water management may not be an issue for unconventional resource developers within the next decade.

Also appropriate as Other Rituals
Overview: Lead people in a reflection of where they are, or where they have just been. Then turn personal dreams into community dreams.
Theme or Background: To look at our dreams for the future, and make those dreams collective dreams, Based on the most famous line Dr. Martin Luther King's most famous speech.
Materials Involved: Chalice/Altar
Details: Set up a chalice or altar in a sacred space before people get there, They can come into the space on their own, or have them gather somewhere and lead them to the space while singing. The song should be slow and reflective. ("Enter, Rejoice, and Come In" would be a TERRIBLE choice)
If this is the last night of a Con, you can invite people to share what the con has meant to them, or what place they were in before they came to the con, and how that has changed.
Give a talk about The Now, or find a reading about it, and ask people to share as they'd like what feelings they are having now, what place they are in in their life. Try not to let this turn in to check in, But it should be a time when people try to characterize or capture the place that they are in emotionally. Leading with a good example will help. When the sharing seems to be over, Lead people in a song. If it is possible, lead them to a different room while singing, To signify a change in direction. But if not a song will be fine. Once ready for the second part, talk about the future and dreams. How things never stay stagnant. And that we are a Community and have shared dreams. This section can be very powerful, but you must be clear about what is going to happen. Tell people that as they want to, they should share a dream about the future that they have, starting with the phrase "I have a dream..." These can be personal, global, or local. And after they have said their dream, everyone will say together "We have a Dream." This is to make the dream a communal dream, to acknowledge the person and their dream.
You should probably begin with a dream of your own to serve as an example. Here's how it would go:
"I have a dream that the UU young adult movement will continue to grow stronger." Together: "We have a Dream." Before the sharing loses momentum, ask if anyone else has a dream to share, when no one else does, Lead the song "We are rising up" (author unknown) to end, you can let the circle move in a direction starting slowly.
This song works really well if you start of slowly and build faster and faster.
We are rising up Like a phoenix from the fire so brothers and sisters spread your wings and fly higher We are rising up we are rising up (repeat and can be done in a round)

Captain seats can adjust for longer legged people or move forward to give a little more room for the 3rd row. The Enclave gives you the feel that you have total control of the road especially in the winter. Very reliable Primary Use: Family transportation |
2008 Buick Enclave CXL
ProsFits six (6) adults with comfort. Gets great gas mileage. Great Bose sound system. Has plenty of cup holders and aux plugs for the kids. Plenty of room. Has a great look. My Buick is an 2008 and it still gets lots of attention. I'm stopped often by strangers asking how I like driving it. ConsThe price tag. Navigation should have came basic with this vehicle. Besides that perfect SUV.
Perfect For All Occasions. — After owning this car for three years and putting 70,000 miles on it. I still don't have the heart to get rid of her. The car continues to impress me and others around me. This car is a keeper. Nothing more than regular maintenance to keep her going. Maintenance on this car is not expensive. Still drives like the first day I brought her home. The dual sun roof is amazing. Primary Use: Family transportation |
2008 Buick Enclave CXL 4WD
ProsGreat gas mileage and lots of space. ConsIt doesn't hover very well.
Perfect Realtor-mobile — This is the best Realtor Mobile there is! My Enclave has every option available and is fun to drive. I don't think that Buick emphasizes the 24 MPG enough for a car that easily hauls 7 people (8 with the middle bench seat) plus stuff in the back. GPS, remote start, electric folding mirrors, video screen, back-up camera, and Bose speakers get the most "Oooohs" |
2008 Buick Enclave CXL 4WD

2008 Buick Enclave CXL 4WD
ProsSeats 8 ConsLacks power and has had maintenance problems
Good For Large Families — We purchased this car because we wanted 8 passenger seating. The seating is comfortable and the cargo space is great. The car lacks power for such a large vehicle and the fuel economy could be better. We will likely trade this in for a Ford Flex or a Ford Explorer which both have better fuel economy and power, but only seat 7. Primary Use: Family transportation |

Gathering of the Clouds, 10/21/10 - 10/23/10
Saturday, October 23, 2010
Tom Murphy Action Packed Thrill Ride
The final night of The Gathering of the Clouds began with Action Packed Thrill Ride. Instead of the concisely well-written countrified rock for which the outfit is known, the band played more of a straight-ahead pop-rock set, but with no skimping on the energy and charm these guys typically put into every show. Mark Cawthray's friendly demeanor and earnest vocal delivery, coupled with Lucas Johannes and John Evans's manic energy and grounded by Duncan Dotterrer's solid timekeeping, made for music that could be both loose and wild as well as catchy.
Tom Murphy Hearts in Space
The deserty psychedelia of Hearts in Space probably comes across to some as straight-ahead rock music, but a discerning listener will hear shades of tone and rhythm that make the music a little weird. Jordan Huebner and Ezra-David Darnell are still honing their craft as vocalists, but their confidence as performers has grown immensely since their first show a few months back. A bit like the countrified Brian Jonestown Massacre, without the druggy vibe. The band is immediately likable because the people on stage are so humble and personable without the usual self-deprecation you often find among many Denver musicians.

One of the most anticipated performances of this festival happened when Anna.Martina.Ross took stage. Anyone who ever saw Matson Jones -- a band that broke up a few years just as it was well on its way to popularity well outside of Denver -- kind of knew what was in store. On this night, as a three-piece, this project received a very favorable reaction to its simple pop songs, crafted from drums, two cellos and two voices. The set served as a reminder of what these people had done previously that garnered such a dedicated following and what is in store when the band starts writing new material.
Tom Murphy Overcasters
It's possible that Overcasters played twice as long this night, but you couldn't tell by the momentum it kept up throughout. Between the projections and the thick atmospheres coming off stage, it didn't seem like keeping track of time mattered for a change. The rest of our lives, most of us are on the clock in one way or another, and Overcasters derailed that thought process with another strong performance, again giving us that powerful visual complement to the music to make the mundane world shrink away for as long as the band and the audience wanted.
Personal Bias: I tend to like less-conventional venues over bars.
Random Detail: Ran into Liz Forster and Todd Ayers of Sonnenblume.
By the Way: Light Travels Faster has an excellent new EP out called College, and it's very different from most of the act's other material -- a lot of electronic composition rather than rockist.

Thank you, thank you, thank you, Ms. Calhoun, for your latest column. Anyone who loves the arts should pay close attention to what happens with this tier 3 funding. Given how quickly Denver City Council rolled over for the developers who want to tear down the Zeckendorf Plaza paraboloid, our arts money will not be in good hands.

The Plains Truth
Regarding Eric Dexheimer's "High Plains Grifters," in the July 5 issue:
The article on the Colorado Farms ranch was of special interest to me because of its location. For years I traveled those lonely highways at least twice a month, sometimes by way of Colorado Springs and other times up to Limon and then down Highway 71 to Otero County, my destination. As I think back now, I remember always seeing those beautiful ranch homes out in the middle of nowhere and the $50,000 tractors and other expensive equipment just sitting idle in the middle of what seemed like fields of dry weeds.
Regardless of who was traveling with me at the time, the conversation was always the same: How in the heck do these guys out in the middle of dry grassland and dust-covered fields manage to lead this kind of lifestyle, which by all indications seemed to be a very comfortable one? Little did we know that corruption is not only going on in the big city, but now has moved out to the prairies under the guise of subsidies to ranchers. This billion-dollar subsidy to farmers is a ripoff of every taxpaying citizen of this country, especially when those benefiting are investors from other states who, according to Dexheimer's article, know nothing about farming but plenty about taking advantage of government programs. There's a title for this kind of program in which people get paid by the government for doing nothing, and it's not "subsidies." It's called welfare--in this case, welfare for the rich.
I'm wondering what the Republican-controlled House will do about this kind of abuse, since the Democrats didn't seem to notice it. Of course, since they are getting ready to cut benefits to the poor and Medicare, I guess they'll have more money to throw at wealthy farmers for doing nothing.

Critical Mass
The notion that contemporary popular music can exist independently of a capitalist market is a resilient one. Evidence of its resiliency can be found week after week in Michael Roberts's Backbeat section, where he's recently castigated local radio, current REM fans, KTCL's "Big Adventure" attendees and, last week, the latest incarnation of Lollapalooza ("Stick a Fork in It," June 12). In his view, all these pop-music events and industries are guilty of committing a cardinal sin in hippie ideology--the sellout. Those damn suits have killed the music again, man!
It's a familiar story--the music exists "back then" as a pure, unmediated expression of human emotion. Then, as the market grabs hold of it, its vitality is so exploited and drained that it becomes palatable only to "them"--those stupid "suckers separated from their wallets." It'd be an engaging argument if it hasn't been offered in one guise or another from Adorno and Horkheimer onward. From these folkist premises, the critical game becomes simply to identify the moment at which the market corrupts, with the critic's smug assurance that it always will.
What's even more striking than Roberts's tiresome "sellout" charges against musicians and "their art" is the contempt he shows for the audience for popular music. Again and again, the audience is massified and externalized--"5000 bodies" becoming a dim-witted, passive, undifferentiated "them"--incapable of independent thought and appreciation, unlike Roberts's "us." Interestingly, these are the same sort of audience descriptions that feminist media critics have exposed as subtly putting forth a masculine "active" media that overpowers and pacifies a feminized audience. For a progressive publication such as Westword, the cultural politics of such critical moves are shopworn at best and frankly regressive.
Instead of directing energies into an outdated critical project, let's start from the assumption that popular music is popular because of its deployment within culture and the market, not despite its presumed marketplace corruption. Once we take as a given that pop music is from its outset implicated in the market (as we all are), we can then start to question how meaning gets made in myriad dynamic, conflicted ways. We can't "sell out"--solely because we've all bought in through both our socialization and our consent. We're all lost in the supermarket; given that, it seems more productive to interrogate the ways active, differentiated groups of people cohere as audiences rather than playing pop-cultural status games over who saw R.E.M. at what moment in their rise in media coverage. Finally, only the scholars and canon-keepers care how Elvis did it in '57 or the Clash in '77. When you're eighteen, it only matters who's doing it now.

I planted this from sod in April 2014. I had some patches completely die off and replaced them in late May with sod from the same supplier. The new sod is doing great and has a much darker shade than the original. I fertilized once with 13-13-13 after planting the new sod. Is the color difference because of the health of the grass? Is there anything I could be doing to help the week patches out? |

Wright Flight
Helping Kids Reach New Heights
Pilots: You Can Fly for Wright Flight!
This experience help's raise the participant's self-esteem. It helps them see that what may have seemed like an impossible goal is achievable through hard work. We believe this program discourages youngsters from seeking the negative highs of drugs or gang activity, and encourages them to participate in their own education.
When and Where
Flydays are scheduled on Saturdays, weekly from late October through the end of May. Flights generally depart from Tucson International Airport, with an intermediate stop at Ryan Field. Most pilots make two or more flights that day and take two kids per one-hour flight.
What You Get
Volunteer pilots are eligible for reimbursement of their fuel expense or half the rental cost of the plane up to $20 per hour. Of course, any other expenses are fully tax deductible, and Wright Flight will provide a receipt for the IRS at the Flyday. But, perhaps most importantly, there is the pure joy of flying these kids. Your gift provides an experience which they will not only remember forever, but which is life-changing.
What You Need
Pilots must possess a valid certificate, meet FAA currency requirements, have logged a minimum of 200 hours, and provide evidence of insurance.
Pilots who have not flown with us recently will need a short checkout, which can be arranged at your convenience. This checkout will also be a familiarization flight to show you the route and what we are trying to teach the kids during their flight. If a BFR is needed soon, let us know and we can arrange to combine it with your checkout.
How To Get Started
Call the Wright Flight office at 520-294-0404 to request a pilot application and current schedule or fill out our
contact form
Not a Pilot? We can still use your help!
The success of our program is dependent on the help of volunteers. During a Flyday there is more to be done than fly the kids. We need volunteers to check-in students upon arrival, print pictures and certificates, run the food and sales tables, dispatch and escort. We cannot do it without you!
When and Where
Flydays are scheduled on Saturdays, weekly from late October through the end of May and take place at the Executive Terminal at Tucson International Airport.
How To Get Started

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Turtle!
Facts about Turtle
- Breed: Domestic Shorthair
- Color: Tortoiseshell
- Age: Young
- Sex: Female
- Hair: Short
Turtle's Info...
I am housetrained, a special needs pet, not good with kids, not good with dogs, and not good with cats.
I am looking for a special home...........
I am a SPECIAL NEEDS girl. I come from a feral colony and I was quite small when I got here. People worked with me to get me to feel more comfortable with humans but I am VERY timid. I can be held and I will not bite or scratch, but I do not trust. I would love a home that would let me be me. Either inside or maybe a barn would work. I am BEAUTIFUL and very unusual to look at. I just know, there is a place for me in this world.
Other Pets at Buddies Place Cat Rescue
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Turtle, a Arlington Domestic Shorthair cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Shorthair for sale in Arlington, or seeking a Domestic Shorthair cat from a breeder in Arlington.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Arlington already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Arlington breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Domestic Shorthair breeders who help with Domestic Shorthair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Arlington paves the way for another one to be saved.

In 1974 I went to a shower and they served Blonde Brownies. The hostess said it was the recipe on the back of Baker's chocolate chips. I bought a package and had the recipe for years. I have lost it, and I am having a major craving. I have been to Baker's (Kraft's) site, and googled and have not found the one. This recipe has you spread the dough out in a 9x13 pan, and then lightly press the chips and pecans into the batter. Many Thanks in advance, Cece |

Aurora theater shooting: New lawsuit charges Century 16 owner Cinemark with negligence
Yousef Gharbi. |
At times, the theater had hired security personnel to work on Friday and Saturday nights, the suit continues -- but that wasn't the case on July 20. (Security had been on hand earlier on July 19 during a transfer of cash, but had split afterward.) Moreover, the suit notes that the emergency exit door to Auditorium 9, where the attack was centered, lacked an alarm that might have sounded after the assailant, presumed to be James Holmes, blocked it open in order to arm himself and don protective gear. Likewise, no alarm went off after he opened fire, and "no action [was] taken by theater employees to safely evacuate the many people left in Auditorium 9.
As such, the suit says, "the Assailant continued shooting throughout the Auditorium until eventually his weapon jammed and the shooting stopped. He then walked back out of the theater through the same door he used to enter and sat in his car."
Given these events, the suit states that the Defendants "actually knew or should have known" about dangers to patrons -- a duty that was "breached...when it failed to engage in reasonable efforts to inspect the premises and to make the subject premises safe."
The alleged failures are enumerated like so:
a. failed to inspect and/or adequately inspect and ensure that the subject premises was adequately guarded, secure and safe from unauthorized use of the premises as described herein;Continue to read more about the suit, as well as to see a video of the news conference and the complete documents.b. failed to ensure that alarms would sound when the emergency exits on the subject premises were opened and/or activated;
c. failed to take steps to make sure emergency exit doors could not be propped open and used as an egress and ingress into the theater;
d. failed to employ sufficient staff to monitor all ingresses and egresses;
e. failed to establish policies to monitor all ingresses and egresses and/or enforce such policies and to adequately train their staff to appropriately monitor all ingresses and egresses;
f. failed to provide appropriate security on and within the premises as well as generally failed to adequately secure the premises;
g. failed to use reasonable care under the circumstances to discover the foreseeable dangerous conditions of said premises and to correct same or to warn invitees and/or customers of their existence, as well as other potential risks known to Defendants and of which Defendants were on notice of, when attending movie showings at their theater;
h. failed to properly train employees or provide reasonable surveillance procedures including, but not limited to, surveillance devices, monitors, cameras and human surveillance or monitoring of suspicious activity;
i. failed to develop, establish and institute adequate emergency or first-aid response and evacuation plans and procedures for patrons in the theater in the event circumstances called for such procedures; and
j. failed to properly train employees in emergency, crisis and first-aid response and evacuation procedures.

His latest edit is a joke, but it bangs so hard you can't deny it. It's called "careless" for a reason, as Astronomar manipulates the melody of Wham!'s classic "Careless Whisper" over those thunderous beats. It's hilarious, and has been heard previously in What So Not's Stereosonic mix, but now you can download it and provide all kinds of LOLz for your people.

If you haven't gotten used to it by now, then I'd suggest crawling in a cave, plugging your fingers in your ears, and repeating "lalalalala" until everyone decides to adhere to your sterling standards of decency.

Meet the Total Joint Center Physicians
Total hip replacement is surgery to replace a hip joint damaged by wear, injury, or disease. This procedure is also called total hip arthroplasty (THA). The hip joint is a "ball and socket" joint and is your largest weight-bearing joint. The ball-shaped top of the femur (thighbone) sits in the acetabulum socket (hollow area) of the pelvic bone. The joint is held together by ligaments and muscles. The socket is lined with cartilage (firm, flexible tissue) that can become damaged or worn, causing pain. Arthritis, infection, injury, or loss of blood supply to the ball of the femur can damage the joint. You may need to have hip replacement surgery when you have unrelieved pain or problems with walking.
Your surgeon will make an incision (cut) on your hip. During the surgery, the damaged parts of your hip joint are removed and replaced with man-made parts. The implants are made of a combination of metal, ceramic, and/or plastic material. They are fixed tightly inside your femur and pelvic bones. Once in place, they are joined together just like a ball fitting in a socket. Having this surgery may ease your pain, make your hip joint more stable, and improve movement of your legs.
During the surgery your surgeon will access your hip joint by moving muscles and other structures to the side. The damaged parts of your hip joint will be removed using special tools. Implants will be fitted to replace the removed part of the bones. Your surgeon may then secure the implants using screws and cement, or create a tight fit if bone quality allows. The joint is put back together with the femur moved into position in the socket of the pelvis. The muscles and other tissues around the joint are moved back into their original positions. Your incision will be closed with stitches, staples, or glue and covered with a bandage.

I am a sucker for fruits and veggies and I love adding them to any dish to bring some yummy flavor.
Also, I sneak them in so my picky kid's will eat them.
Del Monte is a great choice for my family. They are convenient and always yummy plus they have essentially the nutrients that fresh veggies have (they last longer for me too).
The "Add Some Garden" Facebook contest is in full swing and you can enter (I just did and it's easy peasy). All you need to do is visit the Del Monte FB page (between November 5th and February 4th) to win some great prizes (including appliances and William Sonoma gift cards!)
There are five phases of the contest where you go on the FB page and tell them what fruit or veggie you would add to your recipe. Every two weeks, the item changes.
The items are according to a schedule and that schedule is:
- Green beans (November 5- November 18)
- Corn (November 19- December 2)
- Tomatoes (December 3- December 16)
- Peaches (January 7- January 20)
- Pears (January 21- February 3)
After you've entered, fans of the FB page will have five days to submit and then consumers vote for the best and at the end of the contest, the top five winning recipe tips will be up for the Grand Prize, a culinary travel adventure valued at 10K!
This week was corn, so my tip was to add it to a Mexican casserole dish with chicken and peppers and tons of Mexican cheese. The corn would add a yummy crunch to the meal plus help out the healthy factor.
To celebrate, I'm giving away a Del Monte gift pack so you can add in the yummy (and nutritious!) veggies and fruits to your favorite dishes.
The gift pack contains:
- Five (5) Del Monte canned varieties- Green Beans (1), Corn (1), Diced Tomatoes (1), Peaches (1), and Pears (1)
- $25 Visa gift card
All I need you to do to enter to win is tell me what your favorite Del Monte fruit or veggie is.
Easy, huh?
Comment away!
This contest will run for two weeks and end on December 5th, 2012.
Good Luck!!

02 Oct 2006
(Investis) Oct. 2, 2006 - Investis Ltd., Europe's largest provider of online corporate communications solutions, has launched a record 15 new corporate websites across Europe this summer including sites for two of the UK's largest companies.
The list of companies who together are worth more than £15 billion (EUR 22 billion) includes Home Retail Group plc – owner of retailers Argos and Homebase – and mobile phone operator Virgin Mobile plc. In Europe, Investis put corporate sites live for Italian biotech company Recordati SpA, Italian bank Banca Profilo SpA, Danish food services group EAC A/S and Luxembourg-based investment company Prologis European Properties SA.
This strong burst of activity further reinforces Investis' position as the market-leading online corporate communications specialist for publicly quoted companies in Europe. It also signals an increasing desire among companies to be innovative, creative and forward-thinking when it comes to their corporate websites as they opt for more interactive tools and richer content such as video and audio to engage the user.
Investis' combination of corporate communications experience and advanced technology platform has enabled it to provide a gilt-edged service for its clients helping them to meet their communications needs and be recognized as meeting best practice standards. Investis clients accounted for 35% of the top quartile of the Financial Times 2005 Best Corporate Website Rankings of Europe's 150 largest publicly quoted companies.
