'Filly Brown' Composer Reza Safinia Brings Industry Experience to Indie Film
Features By Allison Loring on April 25, 2013 | Be the First To CommentA little film I saw at Sundance last year is currently making some major waves at the box office. Filly Brown tells the story of aspiring Latina hip-hop star Maria, aka Filly Brown played by Gina Rodriguez. It opened last weekend on 188 screens, but netted $1.5 million in ticket sales. How? I credit the fact that Filly Brown takes the idea of the American dream and portrays it through the complicated, and at times difficult, lens of the music industry. We've certainly seen this story play out time and again, watching as hot young acts quickly climb the charts only to fall hard. But Filly Brown isn't the story of a young girl only hoping to become a successful musician – it's the story of a young girl desperate to put her family back together who stumbles across a talent that may help her make that happen. Driven by a commanding performance from Rodriguez, the music is as much a character in the film as any of the actors. I spoke with the film's composer, Reza Safinia, about working with Rodriguez (who had never rapped before making the film), his approach to such a music heavy story, and what artist he and Rodriguez listened to in the studio for inspiration.
Sundance 2012 Review: 'Filly Brown' Spits Emotion, But Loses Focus With Overly Complicated Narrative
Film Festivals By Allison Loring on January 22, 2012 | Be the First To CommentWhen it comes to family loyalty it is hard to turn your back on those you can't help but love unconditionally, even if they disappoint you at every turn. Maria, aka Filly Brown (Gina Rodriguez), has become the matriarch of her house with a mother (Jennie Rivera) in jail who left behind not only, Filly but her younger sister Lupe (Chrissy Fit) and her father (Lou Diamond Phillips) as well. This responsibility has clearly left Filly with a tough exterior, but never bitter, as Rodriguez is able to seamlessly transition from a sharp-tongued fighter to a naïve young girl. It is clear from the onset (and comments from those in Filly's life) that her mother is bad news, but as her daughter Filly can't (or won't) see that and when her mother asks for her help, Filly agrees without question. This promise becomes the catalyst that drives Filly through the rest of the film and effects the decisions that she makes to get the funds her mom seems to so desperately need.

"I made this with saskatoon berries and it turned out amazing. The only drawback was that saskatoon berries don't break down as much as blueberries so you cannot really put it through a strainer. I just ended up adding more saskatoon berries to the cooked ones to make the filling. And used half the sugar.""

So I was pretty excited when I saw the box on my steps, but I had no idea it could have so much stuff! I'm so excited about all of it.
My soon to be sister in law (13) is coming up next week, definitely going to be playing Cat-opoly. My fiancee loves the wedding disaster book and we are going to be keeping it close in the coming year!
The poems are amazing and fit my cats perfectly. I can't wait to try the treat recipe sometime soon!

More reviews by cherryshake290
Wow! This stuff was surprisingly nice. I bought it because it was on sale when I bought my PF Mineral Wear Loose Powder Foundation. I usually use a stick concealer, because I have hereditary and very dark under eye circles. I don't have a lot of faith in liquid concealers, but this one was amazing! It brightened my eye area much more than my usual stick concealer did, while hiding the circles at the same time. This shade was quite pale -- a lot lighter than the Creamy Natural foundation shade I bought, but once blended it was perfect (I prefer to wear concealer one shade lighter anyway.) On blemishes this stuff worked great, too, although on very pigmented spots I might be tempted to use a stick concealer instead. The only disadvantage is the click-pen. You never know how many clicks are going to be sufficient for the amount of product you want to use, and it's not very hygenic.

2882 West 4700 South, West Valley City, UT 84119
This is a great place to go if craving Gluten Free Chinese. They offer a GF soup which was very tasty. They have a great GF menu!
4115 South Redwood Road, Taylorsville, UT 84119
This place is divine! The food is incredible and decently priced. The portions are great! They not only have a Gluten Free Appetizer, but they also have a Gluten Free dessert. The staff is very knowledgable about what's Gluten Free. You won't regret going here!
777 Fort Union Blvd, Salt Lake City, UT 84047
This place is delicious and has Gluten Free Options. http://www.ganeshindiancuisine.com/Default.aspx
15 E South Temple, Salt Lake City, UT 84150
The staff is very knowledgable about what you can eat and everything is clearly marked as Gluten Free.
9495 S 560 W, Sandy, UT 84070
Someone told me this place had Gluten Free options and I went in not knowing the whole place was GF. I asked what items were GF and the cashier was very rude and annoyed by my asking(Sorry, I really didn't know). The turkey sandwich and Cinnamon roll were so delicious, but a little pricy for the portions. I will definitely be back to try it again!
935 E. Fort Union Blvd., Midvale, UT
They have very few GF options.
7268 Plaza Center Dr, West Jordan, UT 84084
The food is overpriced, they don't understand the concept of GF and the food lacks good taste. You basically have 2-3 choices and one of the choices are the enchiladas, but they are disgusting... Even I can make better enchiladas than that and I'm a horrible cook.
751 East Fort Union Boulevard, Midvale, UT 84047
I had my first experience there the other day. I loved the pizza and I didn't get sick. It gets a 4 because the hostess said all they offer is GF pizza and I paid for the buffet. I was so disappointed. It was crowded, dirty and there were kids running around like it was a jungle gym
10340 South State Street, Sandy, UT 84070
It's yummy and I never get sick, but the grilled chicken is cooked in the same place as the breaded chicken which is stupid.
10622 South River Front Parkway, South Jordan, UT 84095
You can't here due to intense cross contamination.
9320 S Village Shop Dr, Sandy, UT 84094
You will get very sick which sucks because it's delicious.
7676 Campus View Drive, West Jordan, UT 84084
They have the best staff. The grilled nuggets have tasted weird lately and that's the only reason they get a 4.
5291 South State Street, Murray, UT 84107
The location in Murray is particularly great. They seem to offer the most choices! Their West Valley location is awful, I've never had a pleasant experience there. Make sure to call ahead of time and have them set your choice of cupcake aside for you or you might be out of luck.
3312 Decker Lake Dr, West Valley City, UT 84119
They are so amazing and knowledgeable! They have a cook who tries so dang hard to make the perfect GF burrito. I've never appreciated a restaurant as much as I appreciate them and their hard work. I got contaminated once and it was with a new employee. They are so awesome! They occasionally run out of corn tortillas due to being near the Maverick Center and the Hale Center Theater, but that's understandable.
10627 South Redwood Road, So. Jordan, UT 84095
Amazing, but SO pricy and it's not worth the $20 for a single topping pizza.
5718 S. 1900 West, Taylorsville, UT 84118
I am obsessed with this place. I have never gotten sick before. The only reason it getsa 4 is for not offering GF bread.
2292 W 5400 S, Taylorsville, UT 84118
I absolutely love it here. The owner is marvelous and does anything she can to help.
I have never had a good experience ordering Gluten Free here. I have vowed to never go back because it's so awful trying to eat GF here.
3601 S. 2700 West B152, West Valley City, UT 84119
I usually tell the host I am Gluten Free and they try and give me a good waiter/waitress who knows what to do with those who are GF.

this post, we remember Andrew's father, Gil, whose 85th birthday
would have been today had he not been taken from us in March of this year. He was a very fine fellow, a great Father and
Grandfather. A former Track and Field star in college, it's especially fitting to remember him during the London Olympic Games since he was a huge fan of the quadrennial event. One and all know him as
"Gil" and there's a wonderful story behind why.
Andrew's grandfather Bert, Gil's father, was also Gilbert. However, he
was quite the bon vivant and single. He
would bring many a date out to visit Andrew's family on the North Shore of Long
Island while he lived in Murray Hill in New York. Andrew was one of 5 children and his father
and mother married young. Bert may have
been a doting grandfather but he passed himself off as Gil's brother. Thus his
lady friends never hung the label Grandfather on him. So Bert stayed Bert to every one of his
grandchildren and the name stuck long after his happy re-marriage. When Gil himself became a grandfather, he carried on the family
tradition and his grandchildren called him, not Granddad but Gil. Now, unbelievably to me having seen Andrew
in action baking, apparently Gil did not have much of a sweet tooth but the one
thing in the world that he could not resist were Butterscotch Brownies.

Top 10 Haunted Hotels
Hotel Monteleone, New Orleans
In the land of voodoo and witchcraft, legends and legendary disasters, it's no wonder New Orleans – and the state of Louisiana, for that matter – is rife with ghost tales. Hotel Monteleone, a 19th-century hotel in the French Quarter, is a hotbed for paranormal activity – and there's a string of former hotel guests, employees, and the International Society of Paranormal Research that back it up. Cleatter Landry, who works at the concierge desk, insists "our ghosts are friendly." Time and again, she has witnessed the doors of hotel restaurant Le Café swing open inexplicably, always around 7pm. Investigations by the ISPR captured on film what appeared to be the spirits of a maintenance man and a waiter opening the doors. Former guest Phyllis Paulsen was staying in a suite on floor 14 (actually floor 13) when the ghost of a young boy in a striped shirt walked up to her bed. Various guests have reported a similar encounter with a young boy, and so the story goes that the child is Maurice, the son of Josephine and Jacques Begere who were killed in a buggy accident while staying at the Monteleone in the late 1800s. Aside from the otherwordly happenings at this haunted hotel, the grand dame offers plenty of old-world charm: gilded paneling, chandeliers, and soaring ceilings. But, be forewarned, of its 600 guest rooms and 55 suites, those found on floor 14 (really 13) are where most of the ethereal action occurs. Request a "historic haunts" self-guided iPod tour (free) at check-in for a lay of the lore. Fall rates start from $159/night; www.hotelmonteleone.com

Take a quick OFRF Survey!
The Organic Farming Research Foundation needs your help improving the EQIP Organic Initiative by Nov. 10th!!
Send in Your Comments on the EQIP Organic Initiative
Complete OFRF's Short Survey Today
All survey responses will be confidential
The Organic Farming Research Foundation seeks your feedback on the recent Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP) Organic Initiative, implemented by the United States Department of Agriculture's (USDA) Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS). OFRF is interested in your views, regardless of whether or not you participated in this program. OFRF would like feedback about the needs of certified organic producers and those producers transitioning to organic agriculture systems. OFRF is interested in what worked well and, as importantly, how to improve these types of programs in the future. Based on the results of this survey, OFRF will make recommendations on improving future versions of this initiative.
Last spring, the United States Department of Agriculture's Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) created a special initiative as a part of the Environmental Quality Incentives Program. This initiative, called the Organic Initiative, provides financial and technical assistance to agriculture producers who want to improve their organic operations or transition land to organic production.
Now that sign-up for the program is over, the Organic Farming Research Foundation (OFRF) is collecting feedback from farmers on the EQIP Organic Initiative. OFRF wants to hear from all farmers, not just those who have an EQIP Organic Initiative contract. They want to hear from conventional and organic producers; from producers who applied to the Organic Initiative and those who didn't. Whether or not you received a contract through the EQIP Organic Initiative, please help us make it better by providing your feedback on this short survey.
OFRF will use the feedback on the 2009 Organic Initiative to provide recommendations to NRCS to make the 2010 Initiative work better for farmers. This survey is only the first step in gathering farmer feedback on the initiative. OFRF will continue to facilitate growers' feedback to NRCS in order to improve the program in the future.
In order to get data to NRCS in time to affect the 2010 Organic Initiative, this survey will only be available until November 10. Please fill it out today.
If you have any questions, please contact Tracy Lerman, OFRF Policy Organizer at (831) 426-6606 x 108 or firstname.lastname@example.com

I saw an amazing pair of shorts online recently and was inspired to make my own pair. I started with BurdaStyle's Ruby shorts pattern as a base. I altered the front quite a bit, added pockets, used an invisible zip on the side, and added a buttoned flap on the waistband to cover the top of the zipper. The materials were all purchased secondhand, excluding the invisible zipper. The buttons are actually made from coins! These shorts are perfect to wear to my summer job at the pool!
Also on my blog!
Striped cotton, invisible zip, and coin buttons.

Well I'm not sure if this is the right forum to ask about gutters but I searched and found a few things here so I'm going to give it a try.
I have a couple places where I'd like the spout where the gutter drains away from the house to run underground. It's in a place you walk and I'd like to not have to step over it. I looked at my neighbors and they have regular aluminum gutters attached to a round flexible plastic tubing that goes under ground. They're having some problems with leaking into their basement though so I'm wondering if this is really the right way to do this. How is this done? I'll have someone do it but I want to get educated before I talk to anyone about doing the work. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Where do your downspouts go to now? It's standard to have them run into underground drainage pipes that carry the water away from the house. However, if the underground piping doesn't hook up to a drainage or storm sewer system, you could be increasing your chances of basement problems because the water is not getting directed away from the house. This is also true if all of your downspouts just dump water on the ground. |
We live in a more "rural" area - no storm sewers. So everything drains off onto the ground - we have no problem with basement water problems as long as the spouts drain the water a few feet away from the house - which they currently do. Our house is on a bit of a hill surrounded by wetlands so it's all quite a nice natural drainage situation. I just don't want the spouts across areas where we walk. |
- Posted by davidandkasie (My Page) on Mon, Apr 2, 07 at 13:11
then run them into underground pipes and have the pipes come up lower down the hill. one word of caution though, erosion will be a problem were this discharges. you will want to put some type of barrier there to break up and spread out the water flow so that the erosion is managable. |
Ideally what you need is a dry well.A pit about 24" in dia and 3' to 4' deep lined with landscape fabric filled with gravel and topped with landscape fabric into which your buried drain pipe can empty into. Make sure you are at least 10' away from house. An annual gutter cleaning is advised to prevent silt build up in well. My current residence is in a similar setting. House was originally built with set up 50 yrs ago. The wells were clogged when I purchased house 8 years ago, no problem just dug new ones. One sits underneath a deck I built, works fine. By the way last May in Eastern Ma. we received 12" of rain in a day, no problems. |
Okay - thanks. Yes, I notice one of my neighbors has one of those tubes coming up out of the ground and he had to put something under it for the erosion. I have a nice trap rock area where all this water drains down to now - and that's where I think the underground pipes could come out. I think it could work well. So it's correct that the regular rectangular gutter comes down from the house and empties into one of those flexible round tubes above the ground? Then the tubes run under ground to the designated drainage area. Or is it supposed to be some other kind of "pipe"? I assume two completely separate pipes from each of the two gutters in question - even though they're going to drain out to the same area? You don't "connect" them underground right? That seems like a maintenance problem long term. Do "regular" gutter people typically do this kind of thing? I'm not going to be doing it myself. |
- Posted by bill_g_web (My Page) on Tue, Apr 3, 07 at 23:00
A cautionary tale..... Ten years ago I built a dry well and extended one of my downspouts into it, as described above. The system worked great. But, this year I had to replace my sewer line, which happened to run about three feet laterally from the dry well and another 3 feet farther down. The clay sewer pipe had been undermined and separated, creating a small cave into which my sewage was draining. After my sewer break was discovered and before it was repaired, I happened to be home when, coincidentally, the sewer utility was inspecting the main lines with a camera. It was raining that day and my sewer line, where it emptied into the main sewer, was dumping a good amount of water, even though just outside my house there was no water flowing. The flow we saw on camera was rain water. So, I'm not sure that the dry well caused the break in my sewer line, but it's certainly suspicious. So, if your dig a dry well, know where your utilities are and consider that the water has to go somewhere and the earth is a complicated mystery, 6 feet down, which we'll learn of only too soon. |
And drywells don't do a whole lot of good in GA clay. Fills up, never soaks in. What you mentioned in your last post is correct- rectangular gutter fits (w/ an adapter) to corrugated black ABS pipe. That pipe runs buried to where you want it to daylight and drain. Whether you tie your two downspouts together depends on how much roof they drain and how big a corrugated pipe you're going to put in. Simplest would be to run two separate lines, but you might also be able to tie them together into a larger pipe (say 6" instead of 4"). We only have about 1'0" fall from our house to the street. I contemplated running PVC to minimize backups, but at 3X the cost and no flexibility, I couldn't justify it. |
I would do the minimum. Where you walk, put that part underground and let it drain further down your slope directly into a rock bed. Extend the gutters elsewhere, that's it. Around where I live, putting gutters underground is a curse and a plague, and most folks make their situation far worse. The corrugated stuff can clog, and many folks don't have enough slope for drainage to begin with. I have neighbors where they have this stuff running to the edge of their property...on flat ground (or even uphill for small portion)! Pretty ridiculous. I think the mosquitoes use it for breeding, too, since they never fully drain at the ends, even with the weepholes. |
I never have likeed how the corrugations trap and hold water and debris. Find some schedule 40 pipe. |
Well now, those are interesting perspectives. Maybe I'd be making more trouble for myself than it's worth. I've lived with it like it is for 15 years - perhaps I should just continue with the status quo. That's why I come here for info.....things aren't always what they seem to be on the surface...... |
Is 3" PVC sufficient? I have seen many references to 4" PVC... Also, any thoughts on water getting into the joints, freezing, and causing the PVC or joints to crack? |

Use the 4" smooth PVC as Brickeyee suggests. Water runs out of it faster than from the corrugated and debris does not accumulate. Use three gutter spikes placed at 120 deg as "diameter lines" in the open end of the pipe. Any animal that can enter the resulting small openings can also turn around in the pipe and get out under it's own power. An opossum (possum in these parts) that crawls into a 4" pipe will plug the pipe until it is cleared with a big, expensive, power auger. |

I have a related problem. I have a 3x4 downspout connected to 4 inch corrugated pipe underground. When we get HEAVY rain (this is Florida) water backs up and leaks out of the downspout-to-pipe connector and leaks onto my porch. Normal rains do not back up so the pipe is not clogged. It never backs up to the gutter and the gutter never overflows. What do I need to do to stop the backflow? Thanks, Eric |

live in Dallas-FTW TX area--don't have deep winters so you can bury something pretty shallow w.o worrying about freeze. When we moved into this house more than 20 years ago drainspout from gutter on garage roof corner drained into yard and caused runoff problem...and the driveway on that side had low corner that caught rain runoff and pretty much flooded when there was strong rain because of grass lip around it... |
I pulled up this old thread because I have the same issue. I was about to install the standard corrugated black pipe to the gutter when I became concerned about what to do if/when it clogs. Where do you buy 4 inch schedule 40 pipe? |
Most of the big box stores have it, or you can go to a plumbing house and get 20 foot sections. |

4" SDR25 is about 1/2 the price of sched40 and its more than adequate with a 24" burial. |
Went to Home Depot looking for it. Would it be in some other part of the store besides the aisle with the corrugated flexible pipe? I asked the guy who worked that aisle, and he said they didn't have it. I can't even find the 4-inch size in an internet search with the words "4 inch flexible pvc pipe" or "4 inch flexible schedule 40 pipe." I only need about 8 feet of it, so price isn't important. |
- Posted by rjoh878646 (My Page) on Mon, Aug 11, 08 at 10:40
look in the plumbing aisle |
My plan is to do this with a couple of the gutters on our recently-completed addition....but lazypup's comment makes me wonder if the pipe NEEDS to be buried to a specific depth. I'm in Iowa, so it does get cold.... My plan is to terminate the pipe with a pop-up emitter (linked below). Thoughts? J |
Here is a link that might be useful: Pop-up emitters
I had one at my previous house and it worked pretty well. Every so often it would get cocked and not close. It seemed to reduce erosion by dispersing the water and probably reduces mosquitos some. |
We're currently doing some structural work on our house, which in part was needed because of damage done by bad drainage. We considered the underground gutter with pop-up emitters as one of our options for changing drainage flows, but instead decided to run the downspouts into rain barrels. For us, and because we enjoy a nice lawn, this solution is going to be best for us. Just something else to consider. |
- Posted by lazypup (email@example.com) on Wed, Aug 27, 08 at 23:55
The reason that no one is finding 4" flexible PVC pipe is because it is not PVC. The corrugated flex pipe is PE pipe (polyethylene Pipe) |
We have a 50 year old home with hot tar type roof and moulded in '"gutters". Our downspouts are 2" galvanized round pipe. Have been unable to find any connectors to allow transition to underground 4" PVC to take water away from the house. Need to do this before the heavy rains start here in WA. Any suggestions appreciated. janPJ |

I have a similar problem with my gutter drainage. Drainage lead goes down underground and all other leaves and seeds started clogging up to a point where water drain slows down. My question is: Is there a way to pull out all this rotted leaves and other junk? Is there any tool or kits to do that with? Or How can I pull them out? Thanks for a tip |
I have some downspouts that require redirection during heavy rains...i'm thinking of a narrow,long swail down to the road...but now I'm readin about a dry-well...never heard of this. Could I use this??? |

my question is my downspouts run across my sidewalk in 2 areas what do i do with the downspouts it freezes bad in the winder and holds water on my foundation i dont really want to dig up sidewalk any suggestions |

Our home is 8 years old. All of the gutters feed into buried 4 inch flexible black drains. We found that one of the drains exit the back of our property. The problem is....the drain sticks straight up above the yard approx. 4-6 inches. My husband says it is fine. How can the water drain when the pipe is vertical? The pipe is approx. 50 ft. in length. It has not drained properly because the basement has been wet in that exact area. I also found a drain next to the house (above the top soil) and the bricks have a 2 ft crack which is growing. Who do I call for a professional evaluation. |

C (huffine5), stop disrespecting your husband and going behind his back by trying to do something about it irrespective of his feelings. Disrespecting your man makes him feel the way you would feel if he stopped loving you. Start talking with him instead of going behind his back, which sends him the message of "you're inadequate". |

Ive lived in my house for 20 years and probably had a handful of times water would appear in the basement. I knew something also was wrong with a plumbing issue but couldn't afford to have someone do the work. Finally in 2007, I had my plumbing looked at and 15,000 dollars later my pipes were replaced and a new bathroom renovated. I mentioned to the plumbers about the random water in the basement where they were working and didn't see anything underground. I also had my driveway paved and made sure they slanted away from house and they put a drain to connect downstairs. Then I found my downstairs downspout was clogged and I found out I had an empty septic tank. I was running out of money so I hired a contractor do unplug the spouts and replace the pipe underground while he filled the abandoned septic. Then came the fall and the rain and after heavy rainfall the water flooded my basement. The brand new carpet that I finally could afford was soaked and it continued to run into my house for the next 5 hours. I was devastated and heartbroken. I went outside in pouring rain at midnight and dug a trench to get the water from my house. no problems in 2009 so I thought I did some good. Wrong I had my basement flood twice in 2010. the water outside the house is not higher than my base of house, the water comes up from undergroud through any little crack in cement floor. My kids and boyfriend have helped me soak the water up and been luck we were home at the time. But oh so tiring. So far I think we've saved the walls from mold. Anyway, my question is-if we dig a hole near the base of the house will the water go there instead of my basement is it something we can do ourselves? I am out of money and out of ideas and I've got to save my home. The basement is like a apartment and my two boys live down there. This house is all I have. oh my gosh sorry this is so long I guess I needed to vent. Ive talk to city officials plumbers and water guys but they are not sure where the water is coming from. |

(Deanna Ng) Sorry for your troubles. It can be heartbreaking dealing with Mother Nature. If your city officials didn't tell you that you have a high water table, or a "perched water table" their engineers need to find another line of work. Hydrostatic pressure occurs when underground water presses upward and/or inward on foundation surfaces. It could be due to a number of things, such as runoff upstream from large developments, highways etc. If the problem has occurred for years it's probably a water table issue. Get estimates from water-proofing companies (sounds like you've talked with a few already), but don't feel pressure to sign. They'll provide a decent assessment and offer sump pumps, dry wells, french drains, etc. Those things only work marginally because the water may just run back into the water table after you pump/drain it away. Talk with you council or city representative and the like. Also talk with neighbors to see if they're experiencing problems or have found solutions. If it's an area problem, that may give you leverage with your local representatives. Some kind of drainage system (capital project) may be needed. Meanwhile, if there's a dry spot on the property, a well could help water to drain from the surrounding areas into the well - and away from your foundation. Lots of info on the net. Best of everything, including patience. |

My house is on a hill - the highest point in this area. My downspouts have black plastic pipes (corrugated on the outside at least) that run underground from the downspouts to the base of my yard. They end at the bottom swale (ditch) of the yard about 6 foot in from the edge of the road. Even the gutters at the back of the house go into black PVC pipe underground. I don't know if those hook into the sewer line or one of the front pipes. I can only access the top and bottom ends of these pipes. Since the "ditches" are so shallow and are just part of the grass lawn, I have to dig out the ends of the two front yard pipes at least once a year as the grass thatch crowds in. There is a cement "plate" under the end of each pipe at the ditch but it too gets grown in with grass. This year I ran my arm up the end of each pipe and there was over an inch of sand accumulated in there. (My yard is VERY sandy.) I am wondering if I should auger the pipes since I am getting waterfalls off of clean gutters on the front of my house. I tried running a hose, but cannot get the same volume as with major downpours of rain we've had this year. Just wanted to provide my experience with underground rain drainage. It works quite well, but is not flawless. I have one rain barrel for my patio awning and it works great, although I really need a string of them at each downspout what with the monsoon rains we get since climate change started. A rain garden is the best idea. I researched this though and it is too labor intensive and somewhat costly for me to do at my age. What would be cool would be some way to pressurize the water from a rain barrel into a DIY installed lawn/garden sprinkler system. Then the roof runoff could go into my gardens and not the ditch. |

anch.org: Anchor
Advanced Negative Compilation Heuristic Ontological Refactorer
Why Anchor?
Anchor automatically adds curly braces and semicolons to code written in various programming languages, saving typing and making programs easier to read. It lets programmers pretend to be coding in Python or Lua while actually writing standard C, Java, PHP, C++, .NET, C#, or D. An example bash script integrates with the TCC compiler to make runnable "scripts" with the speed of C.
Where to get it
Anchor is hosted on Google Code. Subversion, user wiki and issue trackers available.
A windows .exe is provided already. Just copy it somewhere in the computer's path. Compilation on Linux and other systems requires flex and a C compiler. Download and extract the archive.
unzip anchor.zip cd anchor
Run "make" from within the newly extracted directory.
make su -c 'make install'
Programming with Anchor
The rules are very simple. A double-space, " " (tells anchor to enclose the rest of the line in parenthesis). Indentation of 4 spaces {controls the placement of curly brackets}. The remaining lines are automatically terminated with semicolons; any of these rules may be circumvented by placing a space at the end of the line. Conversely, if the output is not what is expected there is probably extra whitespace at the end of a line somewhere. Comments are ignored, but it is a good idea to put them on a separate line.
Example usage: converting example.anch to C:
anchor example.anch > example.c
Compiling the result with gcc (or any C compiler).
gcc example.c -o example.exe
If the indent style Anchor produces is undesirable for some reason, simply pipe the output through one of many other source code formatters.
Removing brackets from existing code is made possible with "unanchor." Install GNU indent and use use the -i or -indent option for best results.
unanchor -i example.c #see how it might look unanchor -i example.c > editme.anch # create a file
see an unanchored C windows program
Anchor knows nothing about the underlying language, so it processes a variety of curly bracket languages. The author uses it on C code, but it will most likely work with little or no change on C++, Java, .NET, PHP, Perl, awk and other types of configuration files or scripts. Programs may be compiled on Linux or unix by putting "anch" in front of the existing compiler or interpreter. Windows users may optionally install something like MingW, cygwin, or some other unix-like bourne shell like win bash to interpret the included "anch" convenience script.
GNU Makefiles
Add this rule to a GNU Makefile to make .c sources from .anch as needed.
#~ make foo.c %.c : %.anch anchor -q "$<" > "$@"
Optional TinyCC integration
The latest version of TinyCC may be obtained from the git repo, but we recommend the unstable mob branch for the latest user-contributed patches.
With TinyCC (TCC) installed, Anchor can execute pseudocode directly from the command line.
anch -run example.anch
Or put the following line
#!/usr/local/bin/anch [cflags] [libs] -run [program args]
at the top of files to make executable C scripts:
#!/usr/local/bin/anch -run test args #include <stdio.h> int main int c, char **v while c-- printf "Argument %i is \"%s\"\n",c,v[c] return 0
Note: The #!shebang line is pretty limited and it was not intended for passing arguments, so they may not work at all. For something more powerful, use this:
//usr/local/bin/anch -run "$0" "$@";exit -or- //usr/bin/env anch [cflags] [libs] -run "$0" [some args] "$@" [more args];exit
By turning the executable line into a C comment, BASH will execute it, but compilers will ignore it. Clever, huh? Don't forget to run chmod +x on the source code to mark it executable and then it will work like any other bash script. Passing arguments to a program this way is convenient for testing and demonstrations, but not much else. You should write your programs so they will run without arguments. Still, we like the way an IDE can be set up so that pressing F5 will run our program with arguments defined in the source!
Direct execution
The anch script can use TCC to execute through a pipe from stdin. For example, if both xsel and TCC are installed, the above code may be highlighted with the mouse and executed directly from the selection buffer, with arguments (and without even saving to disk).
xsel | anch -run - arg1 arg2
Other compilers or interpreters may be invoked through pipes as well (the -q option silences Anchor's advertising message):
xsel|anchor -q|gcc -Wall -g -xc - -or- anchor -q some_file.anch|tcc -run -
Bugs, wiki, changelog
The bugs, wiki, and changelog have moved to Google Code. Bugs may be reported using the issue tracker. The latest version may be checked out from svn, and the wiki may contain updates, tips, and suggestions from users.
Other Source Code Formatters
Style Guides
Limitations and Copyright
No warrantee! Anchor is a learning toy for hobbies and fun; it might lack the swagger of commercial projects. The algorithm is potentially lossy and subject to change, so don't distribute important software that depends on it (convert it to the target language first). Programming is a difficult task and Anchor is not guaranteed to make it easier.

Whether you use them to create eye-catching window displays or to show apparel to better advantage in your showrooms, merchandise displays better and sells faster when showcased on mannequins. Follow the tips below to use your mannequins to modernize your displays and engage a larger audience for your products.
Creating the Wow Factor
Why do some window or store displays attract crowds of curious people like magnets while others make little or no impression? The difference is in the wow factor: visually graphic displays that grab the prospective buyer's attention in those critical first seconds of making an impression.
An unconventional way to add instant sizzle to standard showroom displays is to combine your mannequins with freeze models for a day or weekend to draw in shoppers and breathe new life into your visual marketing.
Freeze models, or living mannequins, are inexpensive to hire for a few hours. These models can hold a frozen pose for an extended time and even refrain from blinking, and then suddenly smile or move to engage and entertain shoppers.
However, if the idea of living mannequins seems too radical, there are other inexpensive ways to punch up the impact of your displays such as adding props or creating tableaus. Let's look at some of those techniques.
Set the Scene
Think of visual merchandising as being comparable to a movie or theater stage setting. What items could you include with your dressed mannequins to tell a story?
A mannequin dressed in a swimsuit, sunglasses and a sun hat that is artfully posed by a beach chair draped with a beach towel conveys a powerful "fun in the sun" message unmatched by a table display of folded swim apparel. Depending on your product line, you could add other props such as a large beach tote or beach ball to paint the picture of a day at the beach.
Whenever possible, dress mannequins in complete ensembles and use complementary props. For instance, accessorize men's suits with hats, pocket squares and briefcases. Drape scarves, cowls, shawls, jewelry and other accessories around the neck of headless mannequins and secure with hatpins to give the illusion of a well-pulled together outfit. Additionally, tie belts and scarves at or below the waist to give balance and symmetry to the overall profile of the mannequin.
Themes Matter
Printing and journalism businesses work from editorial calendars; retailers work from marketing calendars. Use your marketing calendar as a guide for choosing your monthly showroom display themes, and do not be afraid to think out of the box. Christmas in July promotions can be just as profitable as holiday promotions in November and December, and the uniqueness of the approach could attract shoppers who would otherwise be too jaded by the holiday over-commercialization to be good prospects. The beauty of working with mannequins is they can be dressed to portray any time period or season with just a quick change of clothing and accessories.
Change Is Good
Most of us hate or avoid change, but changing showroom displays frequently is the key to keeping shopper interest high and sales consistent. Familiarity breeds contempt or so the saying goes, and if your mannequins have been dressed in the same fashions for the last six months, it could send a negative message to your customer base. Change those outfits monthly to create an impression of being fashion forward and in step with the latest designs and trends or risk losing profits to a more enterprising competitor.
Whether you are able to invest a few minutes or a few hours into managing your mannequins in your storeroom displays, the good news is apparel, accessories and even jewelry shows to better advantage on a mannequin than it does on hangers, racks or stacked on tables and shelves. Apparel drapes better and customers can easily envision themselves wearing or using the garments or jewelry when they see it visually displayed on a mannequin.
Metropolitan Display sells discount mannequins and forms as well as many retail display products. We hope you'll like us on Facebook, follow us on Twitter and be sure to add us to your Google+ circles!


text: Estonians primarily associate the name Schenkenberg with Ivo (Iwo, Iwenn) Schenkenberg, leader of the Tallinn cohort during the Livonian War, immortalised as a villain in the widely popular Estonian film titled Viimne reliikvia /The Last Relic/. Less known is the fact that Ivo's father was Christoffer Schenkenberg, master coin minter working in Tallinn, who made coins for the city of Tallinn and the local landowners from 1528 until 1555 or 1556, the approximate time of his death. His son Ivo was also to become a coin mint master and a silversmith. OÜ Schenkenberg now makes replicas of the coins minted in Old Livonia during the Livonian War and elsewhere at other times, turning them into jewellery. Our main output comprises replicas of such jewellery items that were widely used in the past without strong connections to a certain epoch but have by now become rare.

Yesterday, Bridgette and I officially celebrated our two-year anniversary! Huzzah for Jeff Davis!
We celebrated in an excessive manner befitting a corpulent sheikh of Araby. We ate fast food while sitting at home in front of our Christmas tree watching an old episode of Family Ties on DVD. As we were entertained a manic young Alex struggle with using amphetamines to help him through finals week, our love for one another solidified and grew deeper. Watching the sexually ambiguous young Tina Yothers crack wise at the antics of Mallory's vacant consumerism ignited the flame of our passions, like a torch to a pile of subversive literature.
Finishing our unsatisfying meal of burgers and Chinese food, our eyes parted from the bemused asides of Michael Gross and found each other. Somehow, some way, our mutual appreciation for 80s sitcoms had led us to a moment of greater meaning and significance than either of us dared acknowledge. Could it be that the jittery overacting of Michael J. Fox was beginning our love anew? Could Family Ties be some harbinger of greater mutual affection, understanding, and forgiveness?
Then Bridgette got sick from eating Leeann Chin, which we in no way could see coming.
That's one more anniversary ruined by crappy Chinese food. If only there were some sort of lesson to be learned here…

I have to say it's a pain in the butt to use a bar soap, but I'm innately lazy so that's my only gripe with this product. I have super sensitive combo skin with dry cheeks but oily forehead, nose, and chin. Dove is one of two cleansers that doesn't break me out, dry me out further, or aggravate the redness on my cheeks. I've had other cleansers that are more soothing, but they eventually cause breakouts or don't clean as well. The Dove bar is super cheap, super foaming, and super gentle. The one upside of the bar form is that it's easy to travel with. I try other products a lot because I'm curious, but I always find my way back to Dove. I really hope they don't reformulate it sometime down the line, as is my luck.
I use this on my body and occasionally on my face. After helping my friend move I found that I had a ton of sweat bumps on the back of my thighs after being in the Alabama heat all day long and sweating from it.My body never ever breaks out so this was new to me. I used this and within a couple of days it was completely cleared up! I love that this is unscented so I don't have to worry about it messing up the scent of my lotion or perfume. This is the only bar soap that hasn't left my skin dry and itchy. Plus now that its starting to get cooler outside thats definitely a plus. My great grandma used this and ivory soap on her face her entire life and even at 80 she had gorgeous soft skin so if its good for her its good for me :) This works well on my face too. It gets off all my makeup off and it doesn't dry out my skin or break it out. This is the only soap ill ever use :)
This is the only soap my 2 year old daughter uses. Before then, we were using Johnsons products, but for some reason, her skin was never smooth. The pediatrician recommended the Unscented Dove and told us that this is the gentlest for the skin. Scented soaps may cause irritation for some. Ever since my daughter's been using this, her skin improved... no more redness. So, I've been using it on my face and body since as well. I figured if it's good for babies, then it must be good for us adults too. I've been using this for months now, and it has made my skin more smoother. We always have Unscented Dove stocked up in our house. No complaints here!

I really wanted to like this, but it has aided in destroying the only clear areas on my face, my cheeks. My left one is completely covered in deep bumps along with the left over scarring and the right one is starting to do the same! (Along with my chin, but that's probably hormonal.) I loved how soft it left my skin, but the breakout was horrible. Not big on bar cleansers either way, it's very unsanitary. Oh well! Onto the next cleanser.
Dove makes some great products. The Shampoo and Conditioners by Dove are excellent--as are the moisterizing creams. However, if you have dry sensitive skin, the soaps--aka "beauty bars" leave much to be desired. Lets go back many years ago. The only two soaps for bathing that my mother only used in the house were Ivory and Dove White. When we were kids these two soaps were all she used. Actually the kids and my dad ended up with Ivory and my mom used the Dove. She would rave how the doctor told her the only soap to use on your face was Dove..blah. blah. blah.
When I was younger and actually DID start using Dove White on my body and face, it dried me out. I remember my face feeling incredibly dry and taut. I ended up using facial cleansers rather than soap.
Recently, while cleaning out the cabinets in the bathroom, I came across an unused Dove White "Beauty Bar"--so naturally the flashbacks of yore returned and I figured I would give old Dove another try. Years later and my face felt tighter than ever--now at MY age you would think that would be a good thing--LOL--but it wasn't. The face felt dry as ever. I just do not see what the hype about these Dove "Beauty Bars" is. These days I use Albelone to cleanse my face--I cannot remember the last time I used soap on my face and trying out the Dove again made me realize just WHY I will never use soap on my face.
I guess it comes down to personal preference--but with dry, aging, sensitive skin, I cannot understand why women would use this on their faces.
I am using this on my body not my face. I have dry skin (body only) with psoriasis and KP that is acne prone, this product helps keep my skin moisturized but does not cause breakouts. It's a simple product that works for me. I did not find it quite as good as Lush's Snowcake soap, but since that soap is only available seasonally I will stick to Dove for now, it's a close second, snowcake just left my skin a bit softer. Would repurchase.
Oh, if only I had listened to my grandma years ago...she tried to tell me to use just plain Dove on my face, but I was determined that if the cleanser didn't sting or tingle, then it wasn't working. I was so wrong.
Fast forward several years later to 'now' and I was looking for something that would remove makeup (including eye makeup) but wouldn't irritate my rosacea. This fits the bill perfectly. I use it at night, and in the A.M. I use my Merlot. My skin feels and looks so much better. I can't believe how much time and money I've wasted searching for something that works, when all along all I needed was Dove.

More reviews by theurbanhippie
I bought this on a whim. I was going to try the Erno Laszlo black soap, read the reviews here, then spent $15 (incl. shipping) on the AHAVA Sea Mud soap instead trying to save some bucks. When I read the reviews for AHAVA, it scared me into not using it.
So at a loss, I picked up a 2 pack of the Dove Sensitive Skin bars. I can't stand the smell of the original Dove, which reminds me of my elderly aunt who's used it for years, and while I loved the smell of the other bars, I was scared to use that much scent on my face. So I grabbed the unscented, which does have a smell, BTW, but not loud.
This stuff rocks! The blackheads on my nose and the redness on my chin that have plagued me for years is gone. I use DHC Cleansing Oil first, then use the Dove on the areas where I'm prone to blackheads and acne. It works better than the DHC soap I bought to go with the cleanser, and it cost 1/25 as much!
Even after spending $$$$ over the years on Cetaphil, Dr. Hauschka, Neutrogena, Clean and Clear, DHC Pro Activ, prescriptions and whatever the hot cleanser of the moment was, I could not get rid of the t-zone clogged pores. And I was going to shell out $40 for Erno Laszlo before I tried this!
Count me sold. Even if it dries a little and melts fast, it's better than oily skin and plugged pores.

I've used Dove's Unscented Beauty Bar as my facial cleanser for years. It washes away all traces of makeup (but be sure to use an eye makeup remover first for waterproof mascara/eyeliner) and leaves my skin feeling soft and clean. It's also readily available in many countries and very affordable. It's very travel-friendly as I never have to worry about it leaking, and a single bar lasts for ages. One thing I don't like is that no matter how careful I am to try and keep it dry, by the last quarter of the bar it has usually "melted" to the point where's the entire thing is soft and almost liquidy. It's still fine to use, I just scrape a bit off the top with my fingers, but I wish it would stay solid. Needless to say, this would melt away if left in the shower. I always come back to this when my skin is acting up, and I'll continue to do so.
This is the best bar soap I've tried so far. I have sensitive skin that takes well to regular bar soaps I've tried. However, they would always leave my skin feeling tight and extra dry, and the smells would often be too strong for me. This beauty bar by Dove is unscented and smells like pure soap is supposed to smell, which I find very refreshing. This scent doesn't linger on your skin after use. The bar lathers extremely well and is very soft to use, which leaves me stepping out of the shower feeling as though I just moisturized. No dryness at all! The downside of the moisturizing potential in this soap is that you can't leave it under running water. I used to put my bar in the soap holder under the shower stream, but my bar wasted away every time someone took a shower. Now I put it away from the stream and it lasts a long time. I not only use this soap as a wash, but I use it to shave as well. The lather build up is perfect for a quick shave, and I no longer have to spend money on expensive shave cream that doesn't last long enough. I have never heard that this bar can be used for face as well. I will be trying the bar as a face wash, and hopefully I can get rid of my current wash that has been clogging my pores. Bottom line, this is a great soap for sensitive skin and it will rid your skin of dirt while moisturizing it perfectly every time. It's multi-use makes it a wonderful investment for such a cheap product. It's my perfect beauty bar!

- OR - Select an option belowLorena Cantarovici, a Buenos Aires native who came to the States in 2000, is tiny, sassy and smart: She decided to open a catering business that would focus on her mother's recipes for authentic Argentine empanadas, and got to work tweaking the dough to work in Colorado climate. She nailed the formula so well that in the fall of 2011, she moved her business to a bigger space and added a little restaurant/market where people could grab one of the two tables, then order an espresso made the Argentine way, with plenty of milk; maybe one of the special desserts; and definitely every type of empanada available that day, topping each of the dozen or so varieties with one of four homemade salsas. At Maria Empanada, good things definitely come in small packages.

I'm thinking about buying a used muffler / guard (part # 100-9514) for my Lawn Boy model #10324.
I'm not going to attempt to replace the muffler/guard myself. If I take it to a local mower repair shop, could any of you guess roughly what I could expect to be charged for them to replace the muffler & the muffler guard with me providing the replacement muffler & muffler guard? Just trying to figure out how much $$$ I realistically want to sink into this. Thanks! |

Bobby V. Mathews, age 73, of Malvern passed away Tuesday, December 10, 2013 at his home.
The Malvern Lady Leopards kept their record perfect Tuesday night with a 53-27 drubbing of the Sylvan Hills Lady Bears from the 5A Classification. Malvern was not tested much in this game, which was their first in a week because of bad weather (they were scheduled to play in a tournament at Mena last week but icy conditions forced its cancellation). The Lady Leopards did what they do best, which is bombard Sylvan Hills with pressure defense and convert turnovers to points. By the end of the first quarter, with Malvern leading 14-3, it was easy to see which way this game was going.

On Saturday, the Downtown Athletic Club will announce the winner of Heisman Memorial Trophy Award for the 79th time since its inception in 1935. Considered one of, if not the most, prestigious individual awards in all of sports, the Heisman Trophy has become an event, stretching out the act of saying a name to an hour-long television show. When things get warped to fit into that nice little televised viewing block with dozens of sponsorships, there is a bit of pressure to make sure the ŌĆ£rightŌĆØ people are invited to New York for the presentation.
Dewana Raquel Clegg-Clayton age 44 of Irving, TX formerly of Prattsville went to be with the Lord on Saturday, December 7, 2013.
