IF WOODY GUTHRIE were alive, you can bet he'd be serenading protesters at Occupy Wall Street, strumming his trusty guitar, famously emblazoned with the fighting words "This Machine Kills Fascists."
Inspired by Guthrie's pioneering political activism, a host of celebrity musicians have picked up his mantle. Jackson Browne has sung at Zucotti Park in Manhattan. So have 92-year-old Pete Seeger, Lou Reed, the Bay Area's Michael Franti, and former Rage Against the Machine singer-guitarist Tom Morello.
Not coincidentally, all those socially conscious stars are among the musicians who collaborated with Grammy-winning bassist Rob Wasserman on his new album, "Note of Hope," a 12-song collection created from a sheaf of Guthrie's unpublished writing. Ani DiFranco, Kurt Elling, Nellie McKay, Van Dyke Parks, Madeleine Peyroux, Studs Terkel, Tony Trischka and Chris Whitley also lent their talents to the project.
The tribute CD comes out in anticipation of the 100th anniversary of the revered folk singer's birth next year, a commemoration that means a lot to Wasserman, who's been a Guthrie fan since he was a teenager.
"I read his autobiography, 'Bound for Glory,' and really felt moved by that book and by him," he remembered. "After that, I went out and listened to as much of his music as I could. And this was before I started playing the bass. I was inspired by him just as a person."
So when Nora Guthrie, Woody's daughter, approached him after a solo bass performance at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, asking if he'd be interested in producing an album using words from her father's journal, he couldn't say yes fast enough.
"I was really excited because I remembered how I'd been inspired by him so long ago," he told me. "You never know what to expect when you go out and play a concert, but that wasn't something I wasn't anticipating."
Wasserman, who recently moved to Southern California after decades in Marin, was given 30 pages of Guthrie's writing from 1942 to 1954, a prolific period some 13 years before his 1967 death of Huntington's disease.
"A lot of it is reflecting about life in New York, about unions, sex, relationships, his wife, Marjorie," he explained. "Nora chose writings from his years in New York and Brooklyn in the last part of his life. It's pretty deep stuff."
But what to do with it? It took a while for the concept to gel. On his "Duets" and "Trios" albums, Wasserman collaborated with a who's who of name musicians. So it was natural for him to apply that formula to the Guthrie project. He and Nora and the folks at Marin's Steep Productions invited musicians they thought would embrace the concept.
"I always felt that Rob's bass is one of the great companions to all words, having worked with so many great wordsmiths over the years," Nora said.
It all came into focus for Wasserman politically when he was recording with Seeger, who had been a close friend of Guthrie's and a bandmate in the Almanac Singers, a folk group founded in 1941 to promote the union movement and other progressive causes.
"He talked about some protests he and Woody attended together where there was a riot," Wasserman recalled. "I realized that there was a lot of stuff going on back then when they were young that's a lot like what's going on now. Things do repeat, I guess. A lot of Woody's writings are totally relevant and applicable to today. Unfortunately, his message is timeless."
With that timelessness in mind, Wasserman has no trouble envisioning Guthrie singing classics like "This Land is Your Land" or "Deportee" or "Hard Travelin'" at Occupy protests or wherever people are fighting for social justice.
"He would have been there," he said. "And there's a lot of that spirit on this record."

How does The Best Bottom System Work:
Simplify, simplify, simplify! Many may start researching cloth diapers, get overwhelmed and quit. Best Bottoms are YOUR solution! So easy to use yet comes with lots of options so you can get a customized system for your baby.
1. Adjust front snaps to achieve the size needed.
2. Snap insert into diaper.
3. Put diaper on baby and go!
4. When baby needs a diaper change snap out soiled insert and snap clean one in.
5. Put diaper on baby and go AGAIN. The Best Bottom shell is wipe-able and can be used multiple times before washing but you may want to air dry between uses but it is not necessary.
We recommend getting as many shells as your baby poos in a 2-3 day time period (for newborns count how many explosions they have!!). We have found that poo does stay on the insert most of the time but in some cases it may not (but it will stay in the diaper cover avoiding an embarassing mess!) Three different size inserts in several different materials available. We don't believe in a one size insert. Newborns and toddlers are not the same size so in order for a one size insert to absorb enough for a toddler it will be HUGE on a newborn. You may not need all three sizes of inserts and can skip the middle size - it is all up to you! We recommend approximately 24 inserts per size.
So to make it SIMPLE you will need approx 8-10 shells and 18-24 inserts per size. How easy is that?!
Fits from birth to 35+ lbs. We added special leg gussets to help keep everything in, adjustable rise with four settings, and overlapping closure in both snap and hook & loop. This is a very trim fitting diaper so please be extra careful that none of the insert is sticking out of the shell. Also, after the diaper is on, pull the leg gussets out around baby's legs. This will guard against leaks and help avoid any red marks.
We wanted to keep it simple but know that our customers want choices! We have created two different types of Regular inserts to snap into the shell for everyday use. You can mix and match meeting all preferences and needs. Both insert types are super trim making the Best Bottom one size diapering system one of the trimmest cloth diapers around. We offer each of our Stay Dry and Hemp/Organic Cotton inserts in three different sizes. Sizing is approximate and will depend on size and shape of baby as well as how heavy of a wetter.
Small: birth-14lbs, Medium: 11-22lbs, Large: 16-35lbs.
1. Our Stay Dry Insert consists of 4 layers of super thirsty microfiber topped with a super soft no-pill fleece pulling wetness away from baby's bottom keeping them feeling dry.
2. Our Hemp/Organic Cotton Insert consists of 5 layers of hemp/Certified Organic cotton topped with a soft layer of hemp/Certified Organic cotton fleece. This insert is so trim you will be able to have your baby wear jeans again!
Washing Instructions:
Oh so easy!!
1. Remove solids
2. Either reuse the shell until soiled or wash day. Separate shell from insert before washing. Fasten laundry tabs (if applicable).
3. Rinse cold, wash warm with 1/4-1/2 additive-free detergent, rinse (warm or cold).
4. Tumble dry or line dry. No fabric softeners or rash creams (if you need to use rash creams put a barrier between baby and diaper for example a flushable liner or reusable wipe work great).
We recommend washing every 2-3 days. We have found that the Best Bottom system washes beautifully as it takes up less space in your washing machine allowing more room for agitation getting your diapers super clean.

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 Jewell!!
Facts about Jewell!
- Breed: Corgi/Rottweiler Mix
- Color: Black - With Brown, Red, Golden, Orange Or Chestnut
- Age: Young
- Size: Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
- Sex: Female
Jewell!'s Info...
I am already spayed, housetrained, up to date with shots, good with kids, and good with dogs.
How cute is Jewel! And she is just as sweet too! She is a young girl, about 1 year old. She is a tad on the shy side, but warms up very quickly and really could use a loving home. She is only around 35lbs - what great size!!!
Other Pets at Sacramento Independent Animal Rescuers
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Jewell!, a Sacramento Corgi/Rottweiler dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Corgi/Rottweiler for sale in Sacramento, or seeking a Corgi/Rottweiler dog from a breeder in Sacramento.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Sacramento 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 Sacramento 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 Corgi/Rottweiler breeders who help with Corgi/Rottweiler rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Sacramento paves the way for another one to be saved.

[1302] SOX2 Amplification Is a Common Event in Sinunasal Squamous Cell and Undifferentiated Carcinomas
Friederike Goeke, Alina Franzen, Roopika Mennon, Sebastian Huss, Diana Boehm, Wenzel Vogel, Friedrich Bootz, Andreas Schroeck, Sven Perner. University Hospital Bonn, Bonn, Germany; University Hospital Cologne, Cologne, Germany
Background: Although carcinomas of the nasal cavities are known to differ significantly from other cancers of the head and neck regarding causing noxa, clinical behavior and treatment, they share histological appearance. SOX2, a transcription factor-coding gene located at 3q26.33, is known to be recurrently amplified in squamous cell carcinomas (SCCs) of the lung, esophagus, skin, penis, cervix uteri and oral cavity. The aim of our study was to assess if SOX2 amplifications also occur in different tumor entities of the paranasal sinuses.
Design: Using flourescence in-situ hybridization, we assessed for SOX2 amplification status in a cohort consisting of sinonasal SCCs (n=65), sinonasal undifferentiated carcinomas (SNUC, n=18), adenocarcinomas (n=25), and adenoid cystic carcinomas (n=18). Furthermore, we performed SOX2 immunohistochemical staining to quantify protein expression.
Results: We detected SOX2 amplifications in 36% of sinonasal SCCs, 35% of SNUCs, 9% of adenocarcinomas, but none of the adenoid cystic carcinomas. Moreover, we found that the SOX2 amplification is associated with a SOX2 protein overexpression in SCCs and SNUCs.
Conclusions: SOX2 amplification is not an organ site specific event, but is a frequent genetic alteration occuring in SCCs of various organs. Since SNUCs also harbor SOX2 amplifications in similar frequencies, we hypothesize that SNUCs may be undifferentiated SCCs.

That's what The Five thinks.
Gutfeld: "If you're black, you also have advantages."
Perino: "And if you're at a university and you happen to be, uh, not white, you have advantages. All the advantages, right?"
This reminds me of Pat Buchanan's infamous A Brief for Whitey column in which he wrote that white people have been excellent to African Americans. You know, food stamps and whatnot.
None of these doofs understand that white people have subjected minorities in America to unspeakable atrocities — from slavery to concentration camps to genocide. All of it. So any leg-up that's offered by way of affirmative action is a very small consolation after centuries of buying and selling black people like cattle or eradicating almost all indigenous tribal people.

I'm attempting to start some lavender, purely for the fragrant aroma. I have probably 20 seeds nestled in 3" pots and have seen no activity to speak of... I am keeping them moist, and relatively warm, (no cooler than 70 degrees F) and would appreciate suggestions! |
Follow-Up Postings:
How long have they been sown for? It can be slow, taking up to a month to germinate. Also maybe they are TOO moist - that's one of the commonest reasons things go wrong with seeds. |
Oh... they've only been seeded since 4/30... Perhaps I'm just being impatient, which is pretty much par for the course where I'm concerned. Too moist you think? Hmm, it's possible, I don't let the soil dry out at all. I'll keep that in mind... A WHOLE MONTH!?!?! And I was hoping for instant gratification! ;) |
i would sown a bunch of seeds and forget about them for a while. : )I only watered my pot once, then occasionally i would do a light misting. Mine would pop up in 2-3 weeks. Perhaps you could try the wet paper towel/zip lock bag method? |
btw, my seeds were sown indoor last Winter, temp was around 60-70. If your place has warmed up, then check on the pot more often, mist when necessary and don't let the soil dries out. |
- Posted by star_stuff Greensboro NC 7 (My Page) on Thu, May 20, 10 at 2:42
LOL, one month, that's nothing! I started a bunch of lavender seeds IN MARCH, and still ZERO germination! And so it goes... |
- Posted by nygardener z6 New York (My Page) on Thu, May 20, 10 at 23:16
Even indoors, with a humidity dome and all that, it took 3-4 weeks to germinate them for me. I drilled small holes in the dome because lavender likes to germinate at somewhat lower temps than many plants — if I remember right, 65-70° is ideal. |
I've had the best success wintersowing lavender. Also, it took most plants 2-3 years before they bloomed. Another thing to take into consideration is that lavender plants (like many other perennial herbs) sown from seed may not necessarily be true to the charecteristic you may expect from a plant propogated from a root of a parent plant. |
Still waiting... I was aware of mint having the issue of not being true to character, but I've never read that of lavender. Hmmm... I have moved them outside into the sun. Is this too a mistake? The temperature is 85 today, I spose I will fail and live this whole year sans lavender... :*( |
Thought I would post a follow up... Still no germination. So, instead I opted for live plant cuttings, and they are thriving! So much for patience... |
My true lavender took a week to germinate, then about a month before i transplanted into a 4 pack, than another before ready for a small pot. poor rate of germination tho Lady lavenda does much, much better and blooms the first year. I started feb 17, germ feb 30, transplant feb 14, into pots on april 10. very good germination rate. trays instead of pots for germination might work beter. |
Now you've given up they are almost guaranteed to germinate in their millions. |

I want to start some lavender seeds, what is the best soil and temperature for them? |
I'm trying some myself, last year was a bust, so am going with a cold stratification for a while (sowed into pots with moist soils, put into cold room to sit) - from the Horizon Herbs catalog - A 2-week period of moist, cold-conditioning prior to sowing in a warm place will improve germination. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Horizon catalog

Hi again!
I have a large, acrylic painting that's whites to dark grays. They're very blue whites and grays, which don't go with a single thing I own. If I didn't love the painting and the long-gone friend so much, I would probably not hang this. I was wondering if there was a wash or something I could wipe onto this to tone down the bluish tones? It's so intrinsic to the colors I don't think it's possible, but any ideas?!? Thanks. |
Follow-Up Postings:
I'm sorry! I guess no one has an answer for you. =( I hope you can get it done so you can enjoy this gift from your friend. |

One of the companions known for his suffering in the early days of Islam was Khabbab bin Al-Aratt, a young man from the Banu Tamim tribe of Najd (may Allah be pleased with him). He was brought to Makkah as a slave and was purchased by a Makkan woman called Umm Anmar who placed him as an apprentice with a blacksmith to learn sword making. Khabbab excelled in the art and earned the woman many riches.
When the Prophet (peace be upon him) began his mission, Khabbab promptly heeded the call and became either the sixth or seventh person to embrace Islam. Prior to the divine command to migrate from Makkah to Madinah, Khabbab would suffer untold hardships due to his beliefs.
Since he was not from Makkah and had no tribe to support him, the torture he underwent was tremendous. When Umm Anmar came to know of his relationship with the Prophet (peace be upon him), she would visit him at his workshop and brand his head with a hot iron rod.
Umm Anmarâs brother, Sibaâa bin Abdul Uzza, was â along with a group of ruffians â given the task of punishing Khabbab who would be made to put on steel armor and lie in the sun to sweat. Very often he was made to lie flat on burning sand, something that caused the flesh on his back to waste away. While torturing him they would call on him to renounce the Prophet and pledge allegiance to their deities. Khabbab would, however, remain firm in his belief in the One Allah, the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and reject their pagan deities.
During his caliphate, Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) once asked Khabbab about his sufferings. He showed him his back, at which Umar said, âI have never seen such a back before.â Khabbab then said, âMy body was dragged over heaps of smoldering charcoal and the blood and fat coming out of my back would extinguish the fire.â
In spite of his hardships, Khabbab remained firm in the faith. He would often visit other companions, including Fatima (the sister of Umar bin Al-Khattab) and her husband to teach them the Qurâan. Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) eventually purchased him and granted him his freedom.
Khabbab fought alongside the Prophet (peace be upon him) in the Battle of Badr and in the Battle of Uhud where his tormentor Sibaâa bin Abdul Uzza met his end at the hands of the Prophetâs uncle, Hamza (may Allah be pleased with him).
It is said that toward the end of her life, Umm Anmar was afflicted with an illness that would leave her suffering terrible headaches. Her relatives sought medical help and were told that the only cure was to cauterize her head â this was done using a red-hot iron.
It is said that when Islam spread and territory after territory came under the influence of the Muslims, Khabbab would weep and say: âAllah seems to be compensating us in this world for all our sufferings and perhaps nothing would be left for us as reward in the hereafter.â
This noble companion died in 37 AH during Aliâs caliphate and was the first companion to be buried in Kufa. Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) once passed by his grave and said, âMay Allah bless and show mercy on Khabbab. He embraced Islam willingly. He emigrated with great pleasure in Allahâs path, and spent his whole life in striving and suffering for Islam. Blessed is the person who is mindful of the Day of Judgment, prepares for his reckoning, remains content with very little of this world and is able to please his Lord.â
Pleasing Allah was the companionsâ greatest achievement â this was their sole purpose of life, something we should all endeavor to achieve. Let us take inspiration from them, value their sacrifice and tread in their steps in fulfilling the command of He whose realm has no end. ¬

Jody Alexander is an artist, bookbinder, papermaker, librarian and teacher who lives and works in Santa Cruz, California. She makes paper, in the Eastern-style, and uses her papers to bind books with exposed sewing on the spine in a number of historical and modern binding styles. She combines these books with found objects, wooden boxes and drawers, metal, bones, etc. to create sculptural works. Her pieces celebrate collecting, storytelling, and odd characters.
Exposed Spines With her characteristic reverence for all things book, Alexander "exposes" the beauty, variation and craftsmanship of book bindings, carefully wrapping them in cotton batting and celebrating their natural quality. The works are exquisite and endearing. They spotlight a part of books seldom seen and taken for granted. The term "exposed spine" is one used in bookbinding to describe a book that is bound with the intention of leaving the stitching on the spine exposed. However, this term continually conjures up different images to the artist, usually bodily. At the same time old books with their cloth or leather spines giving away to expose the stitching and the ambered glue continually attract her. Alexander finds beauty in the book's decay. In her Exposed Spine series she wants to honor this part of the book that holds the pages together but is rarely seen. The presentation of these objects in a pile in the exhibition gives the work a double edge. Because they are plentiful, the books and their usually hidden beautiful spines seems disposable, but by their tender treatment, the artist "mirrors" their natural qualities and deems them worthy of further consideration. Each Exposed Spine $375

'Doctor Who' Kicks Off Series 8 With More of a Theme Than a Plot
Features By Christopher Campbell on August 24, 2014 | Be the First To CommentWould a Doctor by any other face smell so sweet? Not if he's wearing a tramp's coat, apparently. With the first episode of Doctor Who's Series 8, Peter Capaldi is a jarring presence as the Twelfth Doctor, mainly to companion Clara "Impossible Girl" Oswald (Jenna Coleman) but also to an audience used to younger actors in the role since its reboot almost a decade ago. It's not just because he's older, though; the thick, sometimes hard to understand Scottish brogue is as rough as his new "attack-eyebrows" appear to be. And maybe it's an odd appearance because we've seen Capaldi on the show prominently before. Does the Doctor acknowledge this deja vu? Has he seen this face before, as he says in the alley to that tramp, in the same place we have? Is it just a coincidence that Capaldi played Caecilius in the 2008 episode "The Fires of Pompeii" and this new episode, "Deep Breath," debuted on the same date as that earlier one took place, only 1,935 years earlier? This is one of the many things we'll have to wait to see as the series continues. I also look forward to seeing if the show can quickly get over Capaldi's distinction and offer up some truly entertaining installments. "Deep Breath," written by showrunner Steven Moffat and directed by acclaimed filmmaker Ben Wheatley (Kill List; Sightseers), was not very interesting plot-wise. For one thing, there was the matter of Moffat bringing back the Clockwork Robots from "The Girl in the Fireplace," […]
'Doctor Who' Series 8 Teaser Announces Show's Return in 8 Weeks
Movie News By Christopher Campbell on June 28, 2014 | Be the First To CommentWe knew Doctor Who Series 8 was fast approaching, but until now we hadn't been officially briefed on just when it would land. Was it intentional for BBC to hold that confirmation until we were an appropriate number of weeks away? It seems too perfect. According to a new teaser via BBC America, the show will premiere with the first full episode to star Peter Capaldi as the Twelfth Doctor on August 23rd at 8pm ET. Titled "Deep Breath," the episode will be written by Steven Moffat and directed by Ben Wheatley, best known for the films Kill List and Sightseers. The only other things we know are Jenna Coleman is back as companion Clara Oswald and Samuel Anderson is joining the show as another teacher at the school where she works. You won't even get that much from the 15-second teaser, though. Have a watch after the jump.

'A Field in England' Review: The Director of 'Kill List' Gets Weird Out in a Field
Movie Reviews By Nathan Adams on February 5, 2014 | Comments (3)Director Ben Wheatley has gotten so much attention from his last two films that we can probably now think of him as a buzzed-about name whose projects are greatly anticipated, and no longer as an underappreciated talent who needs to be treated like a discovery. With Kill List he showed off a unique ability to jump from genre to genre within the same movie and always keep his viewer guessing, and then with Sightseers he showed an ability to mine dark humor out of even the most violent and disturbing behavior. When you go into a Ben Wheatley movie you never quite know what to expect, but you can expect to see something unique. His newest film, A Field in England, opens on an empty field that's on the outskirts of what appears to be a large battle. It closes on that field too. As a matter of fact, the action of the film never leaves that field, but a good amount of interesting things manage to happen anyway. The story starts with the promise of a road picture, as a quartet of men who have all deserted the battle in various ways come together and decide to travel to an ale house. After they come upon a patch of flourishing mushrooms and consume a good quantity of them though, the situation then becomes altered. Post-mushrooms is when the film goes from being a simple deserter's tale to being about encounters with an Irishman who may be the devil (or […]
'Kill List' Director Ben Wheatley To Create Dystopian Condominium in J.G. Ballard's 'High Rise'
Movie News By Adam Bellotto on August 29, 2013 | Be the First To CommentImagine the greatest apartment complex anyone could possibly dream up. It's got its own self-contained schools, grocery stores, and every modern amenity you'd ever need. What if this building was so convenient that you never had any reason to leave? Bottled up in one place forever, would the tenants create a utopia or would they descend into "Lord of the Flies"-esque madness and begin slaughtering, and even eating, their friends and neighbors? That's the idea at the center of J.G. Ballard's 1975 novel, "High Rise." Folks have been trying and failing to adapt it into a film for the past several decades- Nicolas Roeg (Don't Look Now, The Man Who Fell to Earth) nearly made it in the 1970s, while Vincenzo Natali (of Cube and Splice) was the latest director to fall just short of directing an adaptation. But an adaptation is finally coming together. Screen Daily reports that Ben Wheatley, director of Kill List, will be the one to finally put Ballard's novel up on the big screen. Wheatley may not be a sci-fi wiz like the last two directors attached to High Rise, but Kill List has enough horror elements to it (and all of them committed by regular old human beings) that it's safe to say the project is in good hands. Let's just hope it can weather the storm of The Raid comparisons, which have become commonplace for any movie set in an apartment complex.

'A Field in England' Trailer Invites You on a Short, Strange Trip
Movie News By Scott Beggs on May 21, 2013 | Be the First To CommentBrimming with touches of a psilocybin-laced Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead, the trailer for Ben Wheatley's A Field in England promises a treasure hunt, screaming freakouts and total damnation. In its mysteriously simple synopsis, a band of deserters run from an English Civil War battle and becoming engaged in a search for buried loot. Somewhere along the way, mushrooms (or something psychedelic) gets involved. Most will want to see it based on Wheatley's name alone, anyway. The director behind Kill List earned a lot of sharp acclaim for his vision and knack for upsetting, deeply trenchant storytelling. He then followed it with Sightseers and proved his chops with black comedy even further. And now, this:
Review: 'Sightseers' Sticks an Accidental Bonnie & Clyde in an RV with Dark and Hilarious Results
Fantastic Fest By Rob Hunter on May 10, 2013 | Comments (3)Editors' note: Our Sightseers review originally ran during last year's Fantastic Fest, but we're re-posting it as the film gets a limited theatrical release starting today. The problem with making a truly fantastic film is that sooner or later you have to follow it up with a new movie. If it was your first then rumors will swirl about a sophomore slump, and if it's your second then people will wonder if you can keep delivering the goods. Ben Wheatley's last film was the dark, brutal and highly acclaimed Kill List, and that in turn was a giant leap up from his debut, Down Terrace. Wheatley's new movie is more of a jump sideways than up, but that's actually even more impressive. Sightseers maintains the quality and effectiveness of Kill List even as it surprises with a constant stream of laugh out loud hilarity. Where his earlier movies featured darkly comic moments, this one is a flat out comedy… with gory murders. Has there ever been a love story as great as the one between Tina (Alice Lowe) and Chris (Steve Oram)? The answer is a resounding yes, but don't tell that to these two sad-sack lovebirds. Tina is still reeling from the accidental death of her dog Poppy, but when her new beau Chris suggests the two of them take an RV trip across the English countryside she ignores her flatmate's warnings and hits the road. It doesn't hurt that her flatmate is her mother who constantly reminds Tina […]
Drafthouse Films Wants Audiences to Visit Ben Wheatley's 'A Field in England'
Movie News By Kate Erbland on May 9, 2013 | Be the First To CommentLooks like Drafthouse Films is picking up some primo real estate, as the film distribution arm of the Alamo Drafthouse Cinema has just announced that their latest acquisition is Ben Wheatley's A Field in England. Wheatley is a name well-familiar to the Drafthouse genre buffs, as he's already directed three uniquely terrifying films (Down Terrace, Kill List, and Sightseers) and contributed a segment to Drafthouse's own The ABCs of Death. Drafthouse and Wheatley is a perfect pairing, and one that we've been expecting for quite some time. For the new film, which has been described as "a psychedelic trip into magic and madness," Wheatley goes period all over the asses of some poor schmoes, as it centers on "English Civil War soldiers in the 17th century who are captured by an alchemist and led into a vast mushroom field, where they fall victim to violent and nightmarish forces." Soldiers? A crazy alchemist? Mushrooms? If it's half as scary as Kill List, theaters will have to put down tarps to capture the tears and wee of moviegoers. (This is a good thing, really, we promise.)
TIFF 2012 Review: 'Sightseers' Will Make You Laugh But Feel Guilty For It
Movie Reviews By Andrew Robinson on September 15, 2012 | Be the First To CommentBen Wheatley's Sightseers is the ultimate dark comedy. It puts the most audacious visuals in front of you and dares you not to laugh at them. In the film, Chris (Steve Oram) and Tina (Alice Lowe) take a week out caravanning across the English country-side. Little does she know, he's a murdering psychopath with a short temper. Eventually, the two are traveling from one landmark to another killing anyone who pisses them off. Earlier this year, Bobcat Goldthwait similar God Bless America received a lukewarm response from critics. This feels like a less overbearing version of that film. While most instances of violence come from things that aggravate our protagonists, the murder spree doesn't come out of some sense of entitlement. Chris and Tina kill just because they prefer that person dead, for their own gratification and to better enjoy their holiday. It's not to improve the world around them. The film derives some great comedic moments from the bookends holding scenes together. Chris kills a man for telling him and Tina to clean up a piece of excrement, which is followed by them asking themselves, "Isn't the country lovely?" The film revels in how easily Tina and Chris can justify their murders and brush them off as a part of their holiday.
Ben Wheatley Preps 17th Century Mushroom Trip 'A Field in England'
In Development By Scott Beggs on September 4, 2012 | Be the First To CommentComing off the gut-punch success of Kill List and hoping for similar results with his forthcoming Sightseers (and his ABCs of Death entry), Ben Wheatley is apparently going to wandering around in a war-torn field looking for treasure and mind-altering substances. Not a bad way to spend a sunny English weekend. According to Film4, Wheatley will be directing A Field in England – the first feature to be fully financed by the Film4.0 initiative. Amy Jump, who co-wrote Kill List and edited Sightseers, will co-write this with Wheatley as well. The movie, which will star Michael Smiley, Peter Ferdinando, Reece Shearsmith, Julian Barratt, Richard Glover and Ryan Pope, focuses on a group of men who bail on a vicious English Civil War battle (circa 1648) only to be caught by two strange men looking for a treasure in the middle of a mushroom-heavy field. Then, chaos reigns. Charles I probably won't be happy about it. It's refreshing to see a period drama that sounds wholly unstuffy – a look into the world of the mid-1600s that isn't all dry scoffing and sobriety. Although, without any Grateful Dead to aid them, it's unclear what sort of tasty grooves these military men will be jamming to while paranoia takes hold. Jokes aside, that sound you hear is either three cheers for bizarre original filmmaking from talented storytellers or the distant drumbeat of a weird war movie on the way.
'Sightseers' Trailer Is Full of Laughs, Love, and Casual Murder
Movie News By Nathan Adams on August 28, 2012 | Comments (1)Given that it's British and it's about two people taking a laugh-filled trip through the countryside, the initial instinct is to compare Sightseers to Michael Winterbottom's 2010 release, The Trip. Or maybe given the inclusion of a cute little dog that gets in on all the action, Michel Hazanavicius' Oscar winner from last year, The Artist. But, about halfway through its new trailer, when all of the casual murdering starts, it becomes clear pretty quick that comparing Sightseers to anything else just won't do. For those who've seen its director Ben Wheatley's previous film, the shocking and grizzly Kill List, that probably comes as no surprise. If Wheatley proved anything there it was that he's a storyteller who can keep an audience on their toes, and a visual artist who isn't afraid of graphic depictions of murderous acts. Trying to pin his films down is an exercise in futility, you might as well just go along for the ride and try not to get any on you.
SXSW Review: 'Kill List' Is A Blood-Drenched Trip Down The Rabbit Hole
Movie Reviews By Rob Hunter on February 2, 2012 | Be the First To CommentEditor's note: This review was originally published as part of our SXSW 2011 coverage on March 15, 2011. But, just like another stand-out horror flick from that festival (look down!), we're bumping this baby back up to remind all of you dear readers that the film is finally hitting limited theaters this Friday, February 3. Some films send their characters to hell and back, but few do so with the genre-bending, mind-fucking intensity of Kill List. Equal parts drama, thriller, and horror, the movie takes both characters and viewers on a hellish descent down the bloody rabbit hole with stops along the way for mystery, murder, and flesh-busting madness. Jay (Neil Maskell) has been out of work for eight months, and his wife Shel (MyAnna Buring) is not about to let him forget it. They fight constantly about finances pausing periodically to assure their young son that mommy and daddy still love each other before returning to the fray. Jay's friend Gal (Michael Smiley) comes over for dinner along with his new girlfriend, Fiona (Emma Fryer), and the four spend a raucous night of laughs and alcohol punctuated with an ugly and awkward outburst between the feuding couple.
Both last month and this month are shaping up to prove that this time of the year doesn't only serve as a dumping ground for Mark Wahlberg action movies and another indistinguishable Katherine Heigl horror movie. So far we're off to a great start for 2012, and I sure hope it continues that way. With another Heigl rom-com nowhere in sight, I believe we're all clear for now. Honorable Mentions: Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance (got terrible buzz out of Butt-numb-a-thon, but it's still got Ciarán Hinds, one of the best actors around, playing the devil) and Chronicle (apparently it's better than it looks).
Ben Wheatley to Keep Killing With Lee Hardcastle and Claymation Prison Exploitation Movie 'Megaevilmotherfuckers'
Movie News By Scott Beggs on January 30, 2012 | Comments (1)We've featured a few of Lee Harcastle's short films before, and they're always good for a bloody violent, clay-filled time. Now, according to Twitch Film, he'll be teaming up with Kill List director Ben Wheatley for a clay animated prison exploitation flick called Megaevilmotherfuckers. Score one for good titling. There's limited information at this point, and Wheatley still has a black comedy (Sightseers), a non-black comedy (I, Macrobane featuring Nick Frost) and a science fiction movie (Freak Shift) on the table after Kill List hits theaters this week and The ABCS of Death becomes available later this year. He'll also probably have to stop to eat or sleep at some point. Great title, great pairing, great genre. Both Harcastle and Wheatley are about to be very busy filmmakers, so be prepared. Also, just imagine what sort of gore and sex and violence they can get away with when it's all clay.
AFI FEST 2011: Kate's 10 Most Anticipated Films
AFI Fest By Kate Erbland on October 27, 2011 | Be the First To CommentEarlier this morning, my partner in LA film festival crime, the lovely Ms. Allison Loring, posted her list of Most Anticipated Films from this year's upcoming AFI FEST presented by Audi. Of course, many of our choices overlap (Shame, Butter, Rampart), but we part ways when it comes to some of the smaller films at the festival. For all the big, Oscar bait flicks (J. Edgar) or the wang- and soul-baring Fass-outings (Shame again, always Shame), there are a few films that I've been positively rabid to see (Alps, Michael) that might not yet have the cache value and audience awareness of those other films. From the festival's incredible list of 110 films, I've narrowed down my list to ten films that are my bonafide Most Anticipated Films of the festival. Like any list, I am sure that some of you perusing it will be displeased, weighing in on titles I'm a fool to miss. But hold your wrath for a few days, because many of the best titles of the fest are ones I've already seen, and those films might just crop up in an unexpected place (like, oh, another list). AFI FEST will run from November 3rd through the 10th in Hollywood, with all screenings taking place at The Chinese, the Chinese 6 Theatres, and the Egyptian Theatre. Tickets for all screenings are free (and available starting today, October 27, right HERE). The complete schedule grid is now online for the festival, which you can check out HERE.

AFI FEST 2011 Announces World Cinema, Breakthrough, Midnight, and Shorts Selections; Includes 'Alps,' 'Kill List,' and 'Headhunters'
AFI Fest By Kate Erbland on October 21, 2011 | Comments (2)Another day, another lineup announcement from AFI FEST 2011 that sends me positively reeling. Today sees the film festival rolling out their World Cinema, Breakthrough, Midnight, and Short selections. Today also sees me jumping up and down and repeatedly screaming, "ALPS! ALPS! ALPPPPSSSS!" As has been the trend with AFI FEST's recent lineup announcements, this crop of films guarantees that the festival is a can't-miss for any film buffs in the Los Angeles area. There's a number of titles here that festival-obsessed cinephiles will recognize from recent events – films like Ben Wheatley's Kill List, Morten Tyldum's Headhunters, Jean-Baptiste Léonetti's Carre Blanc, Nacho Vigalondo's Extraterrestrial, Mojtaba Mirtahmasb and Jafar Panahi's This is Not a Film, and for Dogtooth obsessives like me, Yorgos Lanthimos's Alps. AFI FEST will run from November 3rd through the 10th in Hollywood, with all screenings taking place at The Chinese, the Chinese 6 Theatres, and the Egyptian Theatre. The best part? Tickets for all screenings are free (and available starting October 27). Free, guys, free. After the break, check out the full list of the films to be featured as AFI FEST World Cinema, Breakthrough, Midnight, and Short Film selections.
Edgar Wright, Ben Wheatley to Do Some Psychotic Sightseeing
In Development By Scott Beggs on August 15, 2011 | Be the First To CommentHappen to remember the SXSW Midnight film that Rob called "a blood-drenched trip down the rabbit hole"? Hopefully you added it to that list you keep of smaller films to look out because there's good news on the horizon. IFC Midnight is looking to give Kill List a release sometime in the near future, and its director Ben Wheatley already has his next project lined up. According to The Playlist, Wheatley will be joined by executive producer Edgar Wright to create Sightseers – a dark comedy that focuses on two road-tripping psychos. Those psychos will be played by the screenwriters Alice Lowe and Steve Oram who are no strangers to the British comedy world or the mind of Steve Coogan/Alan Partridge. In fact, Lowe appeared in Hot Fuzz as Tina, one of the residents of the sleepy little hamlet of Sanford, and Oram was on the best-named television show of all time: Tittybangbang. The best part about this not-yet-publicly-defined project is all the comedic talent involved. It sounds like a violent meeting between the happy clown and the one angry clown who wields a blunt instrument and carries a lot of childhood trauma with him. Wheatley has proven himself unyielding in his ability to make audiences delightfully uncomfortable, and the rest of the pedigree here is strictly for laughs. As such, it's exciting to see what twisted baby might come from this partnership.
New Trailer for Ben Wheatley's Wonderfully Effed Up 'Kill List' Offers the Perfect Amount of Tease
Movie News By Rob Hunter on July 20, 2011 | Be the First To CommentBen Wheatley's darkly violent, morbidly humorous, and utterly surprising thriller Kill List was one of the best films at SXSW earlier this year, but unfortunately it's an extremely easy movie to have spoiled by reviews, articles, trailers, and other marketing. (For the record my spoiler-free review can be found here.) Knowing too much won't ruin the film by any means, but going in blind is rarely as rewarding as it is here. The film follows an unemployed hit man who gets back into the hired killer game as a means of providing for his family. He partners up with an old friend to take on an odd assignment that only gets progressively weirder. What starts as a relationship drama and character piece becomes a tense and brutal thriller before finally hitching a ride on the crazy train. Check out the trailer below… then don't watch, read, or listen to another thing about the movie until you see it.
'ABCs of Death' Wants You To Be Its 26th Director
Movie News By Scott Beggs on June 13, 2011 | Be the First To CommentBy now you've already heard about The ABCs of Death – the anthology project being put together by Drafthouse Films, Timpson Films and Magnet. 26 directors, 26 letters of the alphabet, and 26 tales of horror and gore. The complete list of directors includes: Kaare Andrews, Angela Bettis, Ernesto Diaz Espinoza, Jason Eisener, Bruno Forzani and Helene, Adrian Garcia Bogliao, Xavier Gens, Noburo Iguchi, Thomas Malling, Yoshihiro Nishimura, J.T. Petty, Banjong Pisanthanakun, Simon Rumley, Marcel Sarmiento, Chris Smith, Srdjan Spasojevic, Timo Tjahjanto, Andrew Traucki, Nacho Vigalondo, Jake West, Ti West, Ben Wheatley, Adam Wingard, Anders Wulffmorgenthaler, and Yudai Yamaguchi. You no doubt counted that list and saw 26 filmmakers. You also noticed that two of them are a filmmaking pair, which means they still need one more to complete the series. That's where you come in. This is your chance to have your name next to the guy that made A Serbian Film on a film's credit sequence. Drafthouse Films is hosting an open short film competition to choose the last director where contestants will choose their own word (starting with the Letter T (my money's on "Trebuchet")) and craft a short based on it. Entries will be whittled down to a final 10 by a public voting system, and the winner will be chosen by the directors listed above. There's no entry fee, and it's open from now until October 1st at midnight PST. Grab your camera. Get started.

The Boston Globe reports that Radius will close in late June. Not a huge surprise: Rumors have been floating for quite some time. Owner Michael Schlow talked to Grub Street about the future of his beloved burger and his send-off plans, which happen to include Mario Batali.
"It's been 15 years, and Radius has been a wonderful experience. Our landlord has been great to us all of these years, but our lease is up and everyone is now looking to the future. We're celebrating Radius until it closes on June 29 with cooking classes, a dinner with Mario Batali, and lots of other special events," he tells us.
Oh, and as for his signature burger? "Fans of the burger needn't worry," he reports. "I promise it will pop up somewhere soon."

The president of the Namibian Rugby Union announced the squad of 30 players to take part in the 2007 Rugby World Cup, the third in which the Biltongboere have been participants.
Four of the players played at the 1999 World Cup - Herman Lintvelt, Deon Mouton, Hugo Horn en Heino Senekal. Those who played in 2003 are Melrick Africa , Du Preez Grobler, Deon Mouton, Morné Schreuder, Emile Wessels, Kees Lensing, Herman Lintvelt, JM Meyer and Heino Senekal.
Two of the squad, both centres, have never before played for Namibia - Bradley Langenhoven of Pukke en Piet van Zyl of Boland.
A surprise omission is that of Justinus van der Westhuizen who has been playing in the side this year while Emile Wessels, who plays in Australia, has not been.
Kees Lensing, the Sharks' prop will captain the side. Hakkies Husselman is the coach with John Williams to help him.
The Namibian squad is:
Backs: Melrick Africa, Heini Bock, Lu-Wayne Botes, John Drotsky, Du Preez Grobler, Eugene Jantjies, Bradley Langenhoven, Tertius Losper, Deon Mouton, Morné Schreuder, Jurie van Tonder, Piet van Zyl, Emile Wessels, Ryan Witbooi.
Forwards: Skipper Badenhorst, Jacques Burger, Tinus du Plessis, Jané du Toit, Nico Esterhuyse, Hugo Horn, Domingo Kamongo, Uakazuwaka Kazombiaze, Kees Lensing, Herman Lintvelt, Michael MacKenzie, JM Meyer, Jacques Nieuwenhuis, Johnny Redelinghuys, Heino Senekal en Marius Visser.
The side will play against South African Amateurs this Saturday. There was something of a setback when Heino Senekal broke his thumb at practice. He will have to avoid contact for the next six weeks.

I received an Annabelle Hydrangea today in a 4 inch pot. The thing is very small. I am going to plant it this weekend, but I have tow questions...
How fast do they grow? Will I see anything this summer? How long before they are well established? Thanks in advance. Angie |

The hydrangea you have is a very young one, probably from a cutting with a single stem...I can only tell you what I did to my hydrangeas that are this small...I let them grow in a protected location (away from battering rain, blazing hot sun, gusty winds, or freezing temps) and in a 6 or 8-inch pot for this season...this will give the hydrangea a bit more time to develop its root system w/o a lot of stress...during this growing season, since it is in a pot, you can move the plant around - say if you are expecting a 100 degree hot summer day, put the thing under more shade...if you are expecting a very nasty rainy day, take it indoor..and most importantly, this coming winter, you can take the pot into the unheated garage...bottomline is you need to work hard and care for this young plant...as for blooms, I think you can expect a small single bloom this yr...but from my experience, I pinch off the top flowering buds and let the plant to branch out more and spend more energy to develop the roots...you sacriface one season of blooms and you will get a much much healthier plant next season with a lot of blooms...your little hydrangea is like a 3-month old baby, you have to take give it extra care, and no babies should be left to expose the harsh elements of nature this young...I have a couple of pretty young Incrediballs growing in one-gallon pots now, and intend to keep them in the pots this season and put them into the ground in 2010...give them time, protection, care, always a recipe for success. |

"The important thing is that nobody saw you cry," my mom kindly consoled me over the phone, after I told her how I had behaved like a drunk toddler at my friend's wedding the night before.
"But mom, that's just it, everyone saw me cry," I tried to explain to her quietly, not wanting the couple having brunch next to me to hear.
"What?" my mom hollered back, slowly enunciating in the way older people distrusting technology tend to do at the slightest sign of interference.
"Everyone saw me cry," I said a little louder this time.
"Where are you? I can't hear you. I think we're breaking up," I clearly heard her say without the slightest hint of static or pending drop call.
"EVERYONE SAW ME CRY," I shouted back, causing the chattering brunchers to stop and look at me, hints of tipsy pity filtering out from behind their sunglasses. Keep reading »
