Pete DeBoer will be back behind an NHL bench for the 2011-12 season as the New Jersey Devils have named him head coach. DeBoer beat out several candidates that were believed to have been in the running for the position, including Guy Carbonneau, Michel Therrien, Ken Hitchcock, and Mike Eaves. DeBoer's last head coaching gig was with the Florida Panthers, whom he helped to a 41-30-11 record in 2008-09 before being relieved of his duties following back-to-back losing seasons in 2009-10 and again last season.
DeBoer becomes the 16th coach in Devils history, picking up the duties from the departed Jacques Lemaire. Lemaire took over coaching duties after John MacLean was fired last December.
With a career 103-107-36 coaching record in the NHL, DeBoer will look to make the playoffs for the first time with the Devils. He will have a better foundation in place for success than what he was left to work with in Florida over the past three years. DeBoer will be reunited with David Clarkson in New Jersey, whom he coached in Kitchener of the OHL when the Rangers claimed the Memorial Cup in 2003.
A press conference to make DeBoer's hiring official is set for 3:30 PM ET.

My name is BINKY in Mesa, AZ.!
Facts about BINKY in Mesa, AZ.
- Breed: Brussels Griffon
- Color: Black
- Age: Adult
- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
- Sex: Female
BINKY in Mesa, AZ.'s Info...
I am already spayed, housetrained, purebred, and up to date with shots.
Binky is quite the little charmer. Just look at her! She will wind you around her little paw in nothing flat.
Binky is five years old and weighs seven pounds. Yes, the tongue is always out. God gave her enough tongue for a ten pound dog and she will lick you to up one side and down the other. The phrase "Dog can't hold her licker" applies perfectly to Binky. People who don't like puppy kisses need not apply.
Binky is a cuddler. She loves to be held. She is a Velcro dog and doesn't mind being the only dog in the family, although she does love to be around other dogs. Since she came from a puppy mill, she really doesn't know how to play, but she tries with the small ones. She likes to sit on the big ones, especially if you have tile floors. The big dogs don't seem to mind. It's just a Binky quirk.
Another Binky quirk is that she can only have one human in the home. She attaches to one person very strongly and will bark at anyone else who is living there. Not the visitors, just the people who live there. So that means no kids. And Binky hates cats. I think that about covers it.
Now for the particulars. Binky is house-trained for the most part, as long as you take her out every three hours. A fenced yard is a must and she will not go out unless you are in the yard with her. She has no idea what a "walk" is, because she likes to meander around and take her time. Since she will be your shadow, she will learn to walk on a leash just fine. But she will object to staying on a sidewalk when all the smells are in the grass along the way.
She is crate trained, but needs a wire crate, not a plastic kennel, to be happy. She will want to sleep with you. She is up to date on all of her vaccinations, is spayed, heartworm negative, and is micro-chipped.
Binky is located in the Phoenix metropolitan area. Please keep in mind that we prefer to place Binky within driving distance of where she is being fostered. If someone from outside the local area is approved for adoption, they must be willing to fly in to get Binky, and she must fly home in the cabin with her new family. Under no circumstances can she ever be shipped in cargo.
To submit an adoption application, go to www.abgra.org.. If you have any questions, please email: email@example.com

Why Adoption is a Great Option
BINKY in Mesa, AZ., a Mesa Brussels Griffon dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Brussels Griffon for sale in Mesa, or seeking a Brussels Griffon dog from a breeder in Mesa.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Mesa 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 Mesa 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 Brussels Griffon breeders who help with Brussels Griffon rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Mesa paves the way for another one to be saved.

About two months ago, I posted some preliminary ideas for a kitchen layout in a house we were buying. We closed on the house last week, so I've had a chance to take more accurate measurements and draw up a plan. This is not a final plan, but we're getting pretty close to final. As a note, we are planning to keep the kitchen within the existing footprint (7'9" x 11'9") and do not plan to modify the windows. I'd appreciate any improvements you would be willing to suggest with that in mind. Thanks in advance! |
Follow-Up Postings:
Glad your plants will get good use out of that layout, because you won't. There is no place to actually cook. Sink under the window, DW to the left if it fits, range where you have the sink. Start there. |
Marcolo, thanks for the quick comments. Problem is the bottom of the window is only 16.5" off the ground, so we don't want to install cabinets in front of it. Hence the low window seat type area there. I think that's about all we can do in front of the window. I attached a picture of what the current kitchen looks like to give you an idea of what we're dealing with. Although our layout isn't ideal, I think it's an improvement... what do you think? |
- Posted by Texasgal47 (My Page) on Thu, Mar 14, 13 at 0:10
Marcolo's recommendations are spot on. You're allowing that one window to prevent you from having a real working kitchen. Your new layout has almost no counter space. Of course, the cost of relocating the plumbing to the window location is also an issue. If you can't afford to make these changes now, please save up until you can. At the very least, continue the counter in front of the window. Others on this forum have done that very thing. |
Random thought. What about a countertop that folds down across that window? Butcherblock would probably be the easiest to do that with. |
- Posted by liriodendron (My Page) on Thu, Mar 14, 13 at 4:46
In front of the window, have a normal-height work surface (counter) w/o a cab underneath. Just bridge the window from side to side. Maybe you'll get lucky and the work surface will be close to the height of a muntin bar, so even on the outside it won't look odd. Just put a little ledge on the far side to keep stuff from rolling off - nothing really high is necessary. I have a range in front of a low-ish window. I tidied up the back of the range so it looks just fine. Your kitchen is too small to devote space for a window seat or for the plants. HTH L. |
Thanks for the suggestions. I like the idea of some kind of a fold down counter that would bridge that space. That would give us the counter space, and we could store appliances, big pots and pans, etc. underneath. Does anyone have pictures of this kind of a thing? I found a few online, but nothing that looks close to what we'd be building. Thanks. |
- Posted by debrak_2008 (My Page) on Thu, Mar 14, 13 at 7:21
Why not replace the window? Before you say cost, did you actually get estimates? consider diy? |
- Posted by robotropolis (My Page) on Thu, Mar 14, 13 at 8:27
The thread below shows a sink in front of a low window. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Example sink in front of low window
Concur with recommendations to not use the windows to inhibit best use of your space. You could even run counter/cabinet in front of both windows for awesome counter space in your kitchen, and still have great light from the resulting "counter height" windows. We did something similar in a townhouse kitchen, looked great inside and out. |
Robotropolis - thanks for the link. I like the way that cabinet looks in front of the window. And MaggieQ - thanks for the comments and encouragement that you did something similar. We might consider something like this now, although the idea of just having some kind of bridging counter and keeping the cabinets low like liriodendron and crl suggested still appeals to me. Debrak - we are doing the whole project diy, right down to my fiance's brother building the cabinets. We haven't looked into the cost of taking the window out, and I guess it would be an option. |
I had my window shortened to a bit above counter height to solve a similar problem. And my house is brick, so this was probably more costly than you will face, but it made a big difference in what I could do with the layout. |
Your key functional problem is a total lack of prep space between sink and range. That's why the sink has to go in front of the window. Or keep the sink where it is and put the range there, but then you're going to have to pay for an island hood. |
Marcolo - thanks for your comments. I think you've won me over to the 'sink in front of the window' idea. I just didn't see how it would work before, but the pictures and comments from others helped convinced me it can work ok. I'll draw up some revised plans when I get home from work and post them for comment. I'll start with your original comments - sink in front of the window, range where sink is now - and go from there. Thanks! |
Cool. I forget: what style is your house? That may guide the way you want to put the sink assembly together. For example, in an old house, you could do a soapstone counter with an integral soapstone backsplash only over the sink area, to control the water And keep things from falling behind the sink. It need not be very high. You could even build the sink out of soapstone as sort of a recessed vessel sink, like Casey's sink. Other approaches are possible, depending on the style of your house and the look you're trying to achieve. |
- Posted by robotropolis (My Page) on Thu, Mar 14, 13 at 14:20
Here's one thought I had. Advantage: lots of storage and even a little pantry. Disadvantage: the space between range and fridge is too tight for me personally unless you get a counter depth fridge which could be $$. I know the sink cabinet is a little too big for the space but wasn't sure what else to do without putting a useless cabinet next to the dishwasher since the space from wall to window is only 3'. You could do a drainboard sink and maybe some trash rollouts in the sink cabinet. Or put a 12" pullout between wall and dishwasher and go down to a 24" sink like the IKEA domsjo. |
Robotropolis - I like the idea of having the sink in front of the other window, but I didn't have much luck sketching up a plan and getting things to fit right. I only ended up with a 39" work aisle between fridge and opposite counters. Maybe we can still make it work, but I got stuck on that option and worked a bit on this... A plan based on suggestions by marcolo and others. I really like it, but I think my biggest concern in the fridge sticking out right to the door opening. Would a french door model make this less of a problem (since the doors are narrower)? Any other comments on this latest sketch? Where would the best spot for an under-cabinet microwave be? |
Marcolo... to answer your question about house style... it's an older home, probably built in pieces starting in the 1800s and added onto over time. The interior is a relaxed country style - think patterned wallpaper in neutral colors, exposed beam ceiling, brick fireplace, etc. I haven't looked too far into sink materials so far, but the soapstone sounds like a good idea. Thanks. |
- Posted by herbflavor (My Page) on Fri, Mar 15, 13 at 7:26
if this kitchen will remain in this footprint long term,why don't you pay to center the opening then? You'll gain wall to place a true cabinet depth fridge against...and probably a narrow pantry cabinet in the corner and maybe even 12 in of counter on passageway side of fridge. |
- Posted by babushka_cat (My Page) on Sat, Mar 16, 13 at 20:19
a suggestion - continue percolating on your kitchen remodel but live in the house a while before committing to anything. this house will be better understood to you once you move in and live there for a while. design is an iterative process and cannot be rushed. take your time. while the kitchen is not ideal, you can get by with it in the short term. |

I've ordered some Jersey Giant crowns from a mailorder catalog for this spring - I want to see if they'll grow in any of the sunny spots around my house. Does anyone have any advice or experience to share?
I live in the City of Poughkeepsie so I'm gardening in small sunny spaces around the back, front and side yards - hubby insists on growing grass in the best sun. My yard is surrounded by trees so the amount of sunlight varies depending on where you are. I've got the usual wildlife issues - stray deer, skunks, groundhog (we named him Thor), racoons, squirrels (they're very well fed thanks to the butternut tree), the cat next door (decimated my catmint plants) and the ocaisional vole. |
Follow-Up Postings:
You can also get asparagus locally - most garden centers sell the roots. You'll need to refrigerate the ones you get in a plastic bag to prevent them from drying out. They need a fairly deep bed, plant in trenches and then slowly fill in soil over the stems as they emerge. You won't be able to cut any this year but might be able to take a few shoots next year if you do a good job of growing them. |
Thanks for the advice, digging a trench or deep hole in our yard is always fun - the rock to dirt ratio always favors the rocks. |
Lee Reich had a good article (Ulster Publishing, Woodstock Times, etc) about growing asparagus.. He lives in New Paltz. I'm pretty sure he has beautiful dirt. He was the speaker at a class sponsored by Cooperative Extension in Kingston. I had tried to grow asparagus when I first moved here. I dug 2 12' long 2' deep trenches and planted the crowns. My husband said I had the most wonderfully muscled back that summer. They actually did ok for a couple of years but the spot was too shady and I got a lot of asparagus beetles attacking them. But they do seem to grow in a lot of odd places so maybe you will get lucky. It's always worth a try and at least you get good exercise. |
Can you start with a raised bed somewhere? It's easier than digging, a few layers of newspaper at the bottom kills most of the weeds / grass, it's easier to fill the trench in since you're just planting the crowns at the bottom and then slowly filling for the next 6 or so inches as they grow and the soil drainage should be better. I have a few purple passions growing now in an area that gets about 6 hours of sun per day. About 1/2 of the crowns rotted due to slow drainage but the rest are doing well. I cover with about 1" of compost each fall and spring and not too much fertilizer the rest of the time so they don't seem to bee too heavy on feeding. The biggest issue with them is to keep the weeds under control until the ferns can fill in and shade the soil. Once established, things like dandelions and horsetail are tough to get out without disturbing the asparagus roots. As for other pests, my cats like to sleep under the ferns in the heat of summer but they keep the voles / moles / squirrels away so damage has been at a minimum. Definitely worth a try. |
I hadn't thought about trying in a raised bed, hmmmm. Would definitely alleviate some of my drainage issues. Thanks. |
I've had an incredibly frustrating time with asparagus. I've been coddling a bed for three years now and I keep losing stuff and having to replant it. Seems like drainage is the big issue. I've gotten away with amending my clay soil to one foot deep and building up from there with other plants but not with asparagues. Raised beds are definitely the way to go around here. By the way, I have mine lightly fenced in with a low fence easily outmaneuvered by the usual suspects and my groundhog, rabbits, deer have not bothered it. |

'This Is Where I Leave You' Review: A Light, Airy Snack for Fans of Tropper's Novel
Movie Reviews By Kate Erbland on September 19, 2014 | Be the First To CommentEditor's note: This review was originally published on September 7, 2014 as part of our TIFF 2014 coverage. We know Judd Altman. He's the guy in the movie that looks and acts like he has it all figured out, but who's about to find out – quite suddenly, in fact, and by way of some sort of dramatic event that would never happen quite that way in real life – that nothing is actually as it seems. We know Judd Altman. We've seen Judd Altman plenty of times before. But is there anything new to this particular Judd Altman? Based on Jonathan Tropper's novel of the same name, Shawn Levy's This Is Where I Leave You explores what happens to Judd (Jason Bateman) after the rug is pulled, spectacularly and swiftly, out from underneath him. But Levy's overstuffed and unfocused feature is unable to give Judd the attention he deserves – or, at least the attention necessary to really engage us in his plight – and is instead stuck telling stories about all the Altmans as they handle tragedy (big and small) together. When we first meet Judd, he's just about to discover that his wife Quinn (Abigail Spencer) is cheating on him with his sleazeball boss, and has been for quite some time. Wade Beaufort (Dax Shepard) is a shock jock deejay (his show, which is also technically Judd's show, is called "Man Up," and it involves him yelling a lot about what things men should do, which apparently […]

Review: Tired 'The Internship' Was Unpaid, So Don't Fork Over Your Own Dollars For It
Movie Reviews By Kate Erbland on June 6, 2013 | Comments (3)It starts promisingly enough. Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson are in a convertible, cruising to a highly important business dinner, chattering away incessantly, and alternating between their brand of fast-talking bullshit and slightly outdated cultural references. It feels familiar (because it is), but it also feels funny and zippy and like a very fine start to the long-desired follow-up to the duo's wildly popular Wedding Crashers. It goes downhill quite quickly. The boys may be back at their old confidence game – but whereas they spent the vast majority of Wedding Crashers pulling off gags they were well suited for, Shawn Levy's The Internship is about what happens when your confidence doesn't match your skill set (in the least). Of course, the highly important business dinner doesn't pan out – Vaughn's Billy and Wilson's Nick are a working team who have long squeezed direct sales for John Goodman's old school joint, and such organizations just aren't cutting it anymore – and the two are tossed out on their collective asses. Jobless, penniless, and skill-less, the two come up with a harebrained scheme to enter the modern market in a big way – by lying about their qualifications to land a pair of highly competitive internships at Google. Unbelievably enough, they get the gigs and soon ship out for sunny California and the veritable paradise that is Google (sick of hearing about Google yet? Imagine how you'll feel after two hours of Google chatter).
'The Internship' Director Shawn Levy is "Just Getting Warmed Up"
Features By Jack Giroux on June 6, 2013 | Be the First To CommentThe Internship is kind of a bizarre comedy. It removes the potential for mean-spirited humor by not featuring two leads consistently bust each other's balls. Director Shawn Levy's film is somewhat of an anti-ironic comedy, to the point where that type of self-impressed smirking is literally put down in the movie itself. That makes sense when you consider Levy's body of work. His movies are as innocent and audience-friendly as one can imagine. From The Night at the Museum movies to, a personal favorite, Big Fat Liar, there's zero cynicism in their content. For his reunion film between Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson, Levy explores potentially depressing material: two friends whose lives fall out from under them and, once they start interning at Google, the possibility of failure is always high. In spite of their low chances of obtaining a full-time position at Google, the two characters, and Levy, remain optimistic. This comedy represents another new direction for Levy, who doesn't want to remained branded as "the family comedy" guy. With Real Steel, The Internship, This is Where I Leave You, and a slew of future projects on his plate, Levy says he's "just getting warmed up" as a filmmaker. I briefly encountered Levy a few years ago at the premiere for Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian where his enthusiasm level was high, and now four years later, speaking with him at 5 a.m. his time, that enthusiasm was still somehow intact. Here's what came out of our early morning discussion:
Will Ferrell Will Try To Make a Vince Vaughn/Shawn Levy Comedy Funny in 'The Internship'
Casting Couch By Nathan Adams on August 6, 2012 | Be the First To CommentThe odds don't seem so great that The Internship is going to end up being a funny movie. First off, it's being directed by Shawn Levy, a man who's known for putting together safe, boring studio stuff like Cheaper by the Dozen and Night and the Museum, and who even managed to disappoint when working with hilarious comedic leads Steve Carell and Tina Fey on Date Night. Secondly, it's coming from a script that was penned by Vince Vaughn, and when Vince Vaughn is the one doing the writing, he gives us films like The Break-Up and Couples Retreat – not exactly titles that would make anyone's top ten list of recent comedies. That's not to say that the upcoming film is doomed to failure, however. It's got a premise that's relatable to modern times and an impressive-on-paper cast working in its favor, and that may be enough to help it beat the odds. The Internship stars Vaughn and Owen Wilson as a couple of old school salespeople who find that their jobs are being made obsolete due to the rise of online marketing and shopping. Not taking their newfound lack of employment lying down, the duo decide to reinvent themselves and become the two most aged interns at a major tech company. Bumbling presumably ensues.
It Means Hello and Goodbye: Nicholas Stoller to Write, Shawn Levy to Direct 'Aloha' for Ben Stiller and Jonah Hill
Casting Couch By Kate Erbland on July 23, 2012 | Be the First To CommentWhile we've yet to see Akiva Schaffer's The Watch, it sounds as if at least element of the comedy works – the pairing of stars Ben Stiller and Jonah Hill. Let's at least hope so for the sake of Shawn Levy and Nicholas Stoller, as THR reports that Levy (who is also a producer on The Watch) has signed on to direct a script from Stoller that would star Stiller and Hill. Not much is known about the project beyond its title – Aloha – and a vague description of being an "island-set comedy." The outlet also reports that Stiller, Hill, and Levy cooked up the pitch for the project while filming The Watch, and that Stoller is currently in negotiations to write the screenplay. Stoller has, of course, already directed a film that features both Hill and Hawaii (a little ditty by the name of Forgetting Sarah Marshall), and the pair also worked together on its pseudo-follow-up, Get Him to the Greek. Will Aloha center on Matthew the Waiter? Perhaps harassing his favorite comedian – played by Stiller? Your guess is as good as mine.
Somebody Come and Play: New 'Sesame Street' Movie in the Works
In Development By Nathan Adams on June 20, 2012 | Be the First To CommentGiven that it was first launched in 1969 and is still watched by tons of children all over the world today, it wouldn't be much of a stretch to call Sesame Street one of the most iconic and enduring television series of all time. Throughout the years, characters like Big Bird, Bert & Ernie, the Cookie Monster, and Oscar the Grouch have become staples of mornings spent raising a toddler. But over the course of the show's lengthy history it has only made the jump from small screen to big twice. The first time was in 1985, when the whole Sesame Street crew was set to the task of tracking down a runaway and kidnapped Big Bird in Follow That Bird. The second was in 1999, when a capitalization on the explosion of the popularity of Sesame Street character Elmo was attempted with The Adventures of Elmo in Grouchland. Neither were big hits, with Follow That Bird grossing near $14m and Elmo in Grouchland only around $11.5m, despite having a budget of $26m; which would seem to point to the theory that people who have children young enough to enjoy Sesame Street don't take them to the theaters all that often. Plopping them in front of public television every morning is one thing, but loading them up and paying to have them sit in a dark room and hopefully be quiet for a couple hours is something else entirely.
Weekly DVD Drinking Game: Real Steel
Drinking Games By Kevin Carr on January 24, 2012 | Be the First To CommentWhen a boxing robot movie was first rumored about, a lot of people rolled their eyes and shook their heads. It's bad enough that we've got adaptations of the board games Monopoly and Battleship coming down the pike, but a Rock'em Sock'em Robots movie just seemed ridiculous. The result was Real Steel, which is a pretty cool flick, believe it or not. It's not going to win any awards (except maybe Best Visual Effects, thanks to an Oscar nomination this week), but it's still an entertaining action film about a father and son and a robot beating the bolts out of other robots. And like any good sporting event, it is more fun to drink while watching it.
Kevin Carr's Weekly Report Card: October 7, 2011
Features By Kevin Carr on October 7, 2011 | Be the First To CommentThis week, Fat Guy Kevin Carr strips down to his boxers and starts a new training regimen to make him look more like Huge Jackman. He's got a head start, considering his torso looks almost like Jackman's… if you turn it upside down. After duking it out with some robots in a boxing ring, Kevin tries his hands at politics because it's the kind of business where you don't necessarily have to look like Ryan Gosling to get a young hottie like Evan Rachel Wood. But the primary system leaves him depressed and cold, so he takes a trip to the Sudan to play target practice with some warlords. He hears the Sudan is simply lovely this time of year.
Review: 'Real Steel' is Stupid But So Much Fun
Movie Reviews By Neil Miller on October 6, 2011 | Comments (6)Anyone familiar with the work of Shawn Levy — the commercialism auteur behind films like Night at the Museum and Cheaper by the Dozen — won't have their outlook on life remodeled by the revelation that with his latest film, he's got very little to say. They may, however, be surprised to hear that the guy who brought the world Just Married has delivered a wicked family-driven action movie that, when put up against the ropes, delivers some of the best robot-on-robot CGI mayhem we'll see all year. And yes, I'm including Transformers: Dark of the Moon in that category. With a story borrowed from every sports redemption film you've ever seen, Real Steel moves quickly through exposition and delivers on its promise of big, bad robot boxing that ultimately finds a way to be a whole lot of fun.
Set Visit: The Two Worlds of 'Real Steel'
Features By Scott Beggs on September 8, 2011 | Be the First To CommentI'm standing on the edge of the The Detroit River which is also the edge of the set for Real Steel – the forthcoming robot boxing movie with a heart of gold. Twenty or so feet away from the Cobo Arena, the wind is picking up, and the view looks out over the glass of the water toward Ontario. This might not seem like a dramatic moment for anyone who lives there, but there's something poetically jarring about looking out at a different country (and looking southward to see Canada). Right across the water is another world. It's a world separate from Detroit that hasn't been beaten down by a lagging economy and the failure of major auto manufacturing. It's not that Detroit isn't as impressive, it's that Windsor seems newer, fresher, and more alive. A precipice with a view to another world seems like the perfect place for the Shawn Levy-directed, Hugh Jackman-starring film to shoot as it promises to tell a story both embedded in the seedy underground and the glittering, life-filled stadiums of the near future. To hear Levy talk, the movie sets out to feature a man living in one world, testing his limits to live in the other.
Vibrant Character Billboards Introduce You to the Fighting Robots of 'Real Steel'
Movie News By Scott Beggs on September 8, 2011 | Be the First To CommentFor the next few weeks we'll be taking you through the gritty underground fighting world and into the sparkling, brightly lit arenas where the premiere robots brawl it out for fame and fortune. Diary from my top secret time traveling experiment into a Dystopian future or my Real Steel set visit? We'll let you be the judge. We'll also let you be the judge of these new character posters. One of the most impressive things about watching them film the movie and learning a bit about it was the design of the robots that act as the non-human centerpiece of the story. The pre-viz, CGI and practical all blended together to make some very, very cool machines which get a fresh introduction to the world today. Meet Atom, Ambush, Midas, and Noisy Boy.

Mad Director Shawn Levy Could Forego Going on a 'Fantastic Voyage' to Create 'Frankenstein'
In Development By Nathan Adams on August 24, 2011 | Be the First To CommentLook, Shawn Levy directed Night at the Museum. He's a busy guy and he doesn't have time to be jerked around. That's why two movie news stories that have come out recently have it looking like he could be done with the long gestating but still not accomplished Fantastic Voyage remake that James Cameron's company is producing along with Fox. THR recently reported that there is a sticking point between Levy and the producers, where he believes that the film needs an A-list actor to star and he doesn't want to go forward without getting one signed. For their part, the producers seem less concerned and just want to make the material. Apparently Levy has had recent meetings with Will Smith and if Smith bites the hook and agrees to make the movie it could still be on, but if not, Levy is likely to leave for other projects. Enter a report from Deadline Andermatt that Fox also has a Frankenstein project brewing, with a script written by John Landis's son Max, that they want to rush into production. Why do they want to rush it into production? Because pretty much everybody has a project in the works about Frankenstein coming to life and beating people to death with his big cold meat paws, so they want to be at the front of the pack when they start hitting theaters. Apparently they want Levy to helm the thing, so if Cameron and crew don't want to lose him to a […]
Disney Assembles a Rag-Tag Crew of Rumored Directors for a Fifth 'Pirates of the Caribbean'
Movie News By Jack Giroux on June 1, 2011 | Comments (2)Two-weeks or so after the release of the near-terrible Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, there's already a list of directors that Disney is keen on to helm the fifth entry in the quality diving franchise. The list of filmmakers Disney is favoring is a bit surprising. There's their top pick of Tim Burton, the always busy Sam Raimi, critical darling Alfonso Cuarón, Twilight 2 guy Chris Weitz, and the online venom drawer, Shawn Levy. Apparently an offer went out to Rob Marshall to return months ago, although he may be too busy with his Thin Man remake (*eye roll*)… Burton was rumored for the fourth film as well, but after Alice in Wonderland and Planet of the Apes, I don't think I'll ever be interested in seeing a big Burton action sequence ever again. And considering he's currently working on Dark Shadows then Frankenweenie, he may be not have the time. Side note, when will see an original Burton film again?
'Real Steel' Trailer Shows Off The Human Side of Boxing Robots
Movie News By Scott Beggs on May 10, 2011 | Comments (7)What happens when you work your way to the top of the game, and the game changes? You have to change it back. What's been lovingly dubbed the "Robot Boxing Movie," Real Steel hasn't shown much in the way behind the high tech monstrosities that its CGI has brought to life so far, but this trailer gives a more intimate look at what the movie's really all about: a father and a son connecting in a garbage heap. It's about an underdog made of metal, an underdog made of flesh, and working your way back up to the top. Check out the trailer for yourself:
Hugh Jackman Could Go On a 'Fantastic Voyage'
Casting Couch By Nathan Adams on May 3, 2011 | Be the First To CommentNow that Darren Aronofsky has cold heartedly put the future of The Wolverine in question by dropping out of the project, Hugh Jackman is going to need to find something to do with himself. Luckily, there are a lot of movies out there just dying to get made. One of them is a James Cameron produced, Shawn Levy directed remake of the 1966 shrinking scientists movie Fantastic Voyage. The film has a script that has been written by Shane Salerno and Laeta Kalogridis, and is set to be a big budget, 3D take on the material. While nothing is confirmed, Deadline Wolcott is reporting that Jackman is Levy's first choice to take a starring role in the film. Seeing as the actor and director just worked together on the giant robots boxing each other movie Real Steel, the idea that Jackman might agree to sign on doesn't seem so far fetched. I've never seen any of Levy's work other than his family films, however, and I thought that most of those were pretty terrible; so I don't know how to react to this news. I guess if Real Steel comes out and is good, then the idea of Hugh Jackman doing 3D Fantastic Voyage could be pretty fun. Until then all I can do is wait. Wait, and seethe, and curse the name of Darren Aronofsky.
James Cameron, Peter Jackson, Kathryn Bigelow Top List of 23 Directors and Producers Denouncing New VOD Model
Movie News By Scott Beggs on April 20, 2011 | Comments (3)It looks like everyone is throwing their hats into the ring. When the studios announced a plan to release movies in home theaters just 30 days after the theaters located outside the home (with a price tag of $30 per rental), the National Association of Theater Owners balked. Apparently their threat to boycott big blockbusters was a fake, but they haven't kept secret their disgust for the new model that would limit their ability to make money showing movies (since studios take the 50%-100% lion's share of the ticket split in the first weeks). Now, 23 directors and producers are speaking out against it. That list includes James Cameron, Michael Bay, Kathryn Bigelow, Guillermo del Toro, Roland Emmerich, Antoine Fuqua, Todd Garner, Lawrence Gordon, Stephen Gyllenhaal, Gale Anne Hurd, Peter Jackson, Karyn Kusama, Jon Landau, Shawn Levy, Michael Mann, Bill Mechanic, Jamie Patricof, Todd Phillips, Brett Ratner, Robert Rodriguez, Adam Shankman, Gore Verbinski, and Robert Zemeckis.

Movie News After Dark: Looper, Sex with Blake Lively, Pam Grier and James Franco is Everyone
Movie News By Neil Miller on February 8, 2011 | Comments (1)What is Movie News After Dark? This is a question that I am almost never asked, but I will answer it for you anyway. Movie News After Dark is FSR's newest late-night secretion, a column dedicated to all of the news stories that slip past our daytime editorial staff and make it into my curiously chubby RSS 'flagged' box. It will (but is not guaranteed to) include relevant movie news, links to insightful commentary and other film-related shenanigans. I may also throw in a link to something TV-related here or there. It will also serve as my place of record for being both charming and sharp-witted, but most likely I will be neither of the two. I write this stuff late at night, what do you expect?
Even with 1/3 of the energy that director Shawn Levy displays in person, the trailer for Real Steel that's smashing its way through the internet is still enough to get the blood pressure rising. The film focuses on Hugh Jackman as a former boxer who turned to Robot Boxing when the sport replaced MMA as the world's most popular sport that involves punching. Now, he's washed up twice over and trying to make a come back while reconnecting with his son. That last element is nowhere to be found in this trailer, but the hype sure is. Watch the trailer below:
Robert Downey Jr. Now Taking Dating Advice from a 9-Year Old
Movie News By Neil Miller on November 25, 2010 | Comments (2)Somehow this one slipped by us this week – Robert Downey Jr. officially jumped ship on Alfonso Cuaron's outer space survival thriller Gravity, and has moved on to producing and possibly starring in How to Talk to Girls, a film based on a book by 9-year old Alec Greven. No ink has been committed to paper just yet, but sources say that Downey is circling the project with great interest. Shawn Levy, who is also slated to produce, has said that the script (written by Ben Karlin and Stu Zicherman) is in the tone of Big. And anything "in the tone of Big" is worth paying attention to, even if it was written by a 9-year old. [THR]

Figured you guys could save me a lot of googling....lol.
I know they aren't all the same but I'm guessing they're all in the same family. I know some have tiny blooms which is what MOM always called paperwhites. I call the simple yellow ones daffodils. But I have some that look like daffys but are are two-toned (orange middle/yellow petals). And I'm confused about the other two names. Anyone want to help me out here?
Follow-Up Postings:
Narcissus is the family name. Under the family name there are thirteen divisions. N papyraceus - aka 'paperwhite' could belong in Division 8 - the Tazetta group. Lots of flowers in a single head and with long petals. Smell gorgeous...and are very early to rise. Jonquilla are Division 7 on the list. Depending on who mixed which with what, you can end up with Narcissus/daffys that have red, white and green - with a touch of yellow thrown in. Check out the late-flowering N poeticus, or the Mitsch daffodils. (Hide your pocket book first...). A good place to look further is: www.daffodilusa.org/ |
Thanks !! That clears things up for me. SCARED to check out the ones you recommended. Have no one to hide my pocketbook for me....lol. And thanks for the link. That show coming up is only about 4 1/2 hrs away from me!! And believe it or not, found out last year that Brent & Becky's is only an hour away altho I've never dared gone there -- I know myself all too well. No self control....lol. |

Canadian Rose... If you become a premium member of HMF you have access to the lineage reports, which include lists of descendants by name and generation. To see a sample of the reports, open any rose page and click on the LINEAGE tab. The reports shown will be for the rose 'Betty Boop', which only has 7 descendants. There are 6,273 descendants for 'Peace'. 'Pristine' has 105, 'Sheer Elegance' has 13, 'Royal Amethyst' has 1, but its pollen parent, 'Blue Moon', has 232. As far as I know, HMF is the only database that has this kind of information in such a user friendly format. Smiles, |

Yes, Lyn, I am a premium member. I signed up just for the reason you said. :) But it doesn't have lineage on the roses I'm interested in hybridizing - or else maybe the ones I'm interested in aren't good seed parents so there are no offspring. Carol |

To butterfly a chicken breast, lay the boneless, skinless meat on the cutting board with the smooth side down. Locate the small inner fillet called the tender and remove it, cutting away any connective tissue. Set it aside or freeze it for a later use. Now, turn the breast over and with the edge of the knife parallel to the cutting board, begin cutting down the length of the side of the breast. Carefully slice the breast in half widthwise almost to the other edge. Keep that edge intact and open the breast along the fold. Next, we are going to pound it to make a thinner cutlet so cover a plastic cutting board with plastic wrap. Lay down the butterflied breast, fold it open, and cover it with another sheet of plastic wrap. This will prevent any unnecessary raw chicken contamination. With the smooth side of a mallet, gently pound out the chicken until the desired thickness is achieved. For best results, pound the breast in a down-and-away motion. This will result in a more even thickness. And make sure when handling raw chicken, you wash your hands before and after to prevent the spread of bacteria.

Rehearsals for this weekend's American Music Awards are underway in Los Angeles, and the Music Mix is on the scene to bring you as much of the action as we're allowed to see. Sadly, so far, that hasn't been much, as yesterday's rehearsals — Adam Lambert and Jennifer Lopez, who coincidentally leaked a song called "Louboutins" today — were closed to media.
The LA Times's Margaret Wappler was luckier than we: she managed to sneak a guerilla peek at Lambert's rehearsal (before being booted), and reported back that "dancers sashayed across the floor in spangly harem pants, leotards with torn tights and in one particular eye-catching costume, leather pants topped off with a few leather suspender-straps and silvery chains on an otherwise bare-chested male dancer." We can certainly report that the bass beat of "For Your Entertainment" pounding through the closed doors of the Nokia was hella catchy, and that yes, Lambert's high notes do carry.
We ran the first part of our post-rehearsal Q&A with the Glambert yesterday, in which he spoke openly about his feelings on the OUT magazine kerfuffle. After the jump, the rest of our short but sweet conversation: How his club kid friends have reacted to For Your Entertainment, how his "rock" voice fits in with Chad Kroeger's "rock" voice, and which part of his AMA performance he's dedicated to our EW.com readers. You know you wanna know. READ FULL STORY

Thanks for the report, looking forward to reading more.
For Spring Break this year I decided that instead of going home (where it would probably snow) I wanted to spend some time at Disney. I go to school in Florida but don't get to go to Disney very often. I also wanted to do the Royal Family 5K race. I had done it last year and couldn't wait to do it again.
Friday (March 5)
I left school on Friday and got to Wide World of Sports for packet & volunteer credentials pickup at 10. It was nice to wander around the expo and look at all the vendors. After I finished at Wide World of Sports I went over to Downtown Disney to grab lunch at the Earl of Sandwich.
I did a little shopping after lunch then decided to go look at Saratoga Springs. My family is planning a big vacation in December for my graduation and we're getting two rooms at Saratoga. I figured I'd walk around and take some pictures so my family could see where we're staying.
I had an interview appointment at "Casting" for a summer seasonal job that afternoon. I went over to casting and took care of my paperwork and first interview. Things went well and I have another interview this Friday (good thing it's spring break so I won't have to miss any school).
Once the interview was over I raced over to Hollywood Studios for an early ADR at Sci-Fi Dine In. This was the first time I ever ate there and it was so much fun. I can't wait to go back with my family. Even though I was by myself the CMs still made me feel special.
I was starting to get worn out after dinner so I decided it was time to check into my hotel (off property) and get some rest.
I'll add more of my trip soon.
Thanks for the report, looking forward to reading more.

Woke up early so I could get to Epcot by 6:15 for The Princess & The Frog 5K. It was cold waiting for the race to start but at least it wasn't freezing (like January). Before the race I started talking to another walker who was by herself. She was excited for her first Disney race and asking me questions about last year's race. The race itself was a lot of fun. I think they had even more characters on the course than last year. I think almost every country had at least one character. And I really enjoyed walking/running to the jazz music they were playing. I crossed the finish line with my best time yet so I was very proud of myself. I got my medallion and then decided to go back to my resort and rest before going back to Epcot.
When I got back to Epcot I went straight to The Land to get a fastpass for Soarin and get a snack at Sunshine Seasons. I wandered around Futurewold looking at the beautiful topiaries for the Flower & Garden Festival. It just started this week. You should definitely try and go if you have the chance. Everything was beautiful and so creative. I didn't really do any rides that day, I decided that I just wanted to enjoy the scenery and the nice weather (it had warmed up a lot since that morning)
Eventually I wandered into World Showcase. Most of the characters and princesses were still out so I decided to get pictures with as many as I could. They all made a big fuss over me because I was wearing my tiara and had my 5K medallion on. It made me feel very special.
I had an ADR for a late lunch at Chefs de France. The food was great but the highlight was when I got to meet Chef Remy from Ratatouille. He was awesome. I think he's one of the best animatronics Disney has.
I was so exhausted after lunch (the waitress asked me if I was ok because I almost fell asleep at the table) that I went straight back to the resort and went to sleep. I needed to be up at 2:30 am the next morning since I was volunteering at the half marathon.
Sunday (March 7)
I had to get up really early so I could get to the Magic Kingdom parking lot for volunteer check in. I was volunteering at water station 3. We got the station set up and then had a few minutes to spare before the runners started going by.
It was so awesome to watch the runners/hand out powerade. It was very inspiring. And if anyone reading this was running that morning I just want you to know how awesome you are.
After all the runners went by and we cleaned up our spot I went back to the hotel to get ready for Animal Kingdom. Animal Kingdom was fun. This was the first time I remember walking through Camp Minnie-Mickey. The lines at the greeting trails were a bit long but it was fun to meet the characters. And I love that the photopass photographers will always take a photo with your camera if you ask. I was by myself so I either wouldn't have gotten pictures or had to pay the crazy amount for the photopass photos. So, thanks Disney for letting them take pictures with personal cameras.
I wandered through Africa and then on into Asia. Grabbed lunch at the Yak & Yeti quick service place. I would definitely recommend the chicken salad. Then went to ride Everest. I ended up going twice because the first time went so fast I couldn't see anything. The second time I was at the back of the train and I was actually able to see the Yeti figure. After Everest I went to Dinoland because I hadn't ridden Dinosaur since it was a relatively new attraction (and that trip we were in a test group for the fast pass system which they were testing on Dinosaur).
By the time I got out it was time for my ADR at Tusker House. While waiting to be seated I had a great conversation with one of the runners from that morning who had her medal on. Tusker House was cool. I was feeling adventurous and tried a little bit of most of what they had.
The parade was going to start shortly after I got out of Tusker House (which is conviently along the parade route). After debating about watching the parade I ended up skipping it to go swimming at the hotel.
I ended the night wandering around Downtown Disney; it's an awesome place if you need waste time. I tried to wish congratulations to any of the runners who were wearing their medals. After finding a few more gifts for people I decided to call it a day/night.

Some pictures until I finish my trip report.
Monday (March 8)
I spent most of Monday morning shopping outside Disney. I had to pick up a friend at the airport at 3. After a quick stop at the hotel to drop off her stuff we were off the the Magic Kingdom. My friend hadn't been to Disney in 8 years and she didn't remember much so we were both excited like it was her first trip.
Our first stop in the park was Guest Relations to get a birthday button for her and then we were off to adventure land. Lilo and Stich were out at the character spot near the bridge to adventure land so we stopped to meet them. Then we went to Jungle Cruise and Pirates. Pirates was the first place where I noticed that the lines were longer than I'm used to but for the most part they weren't a problem.
We had dinner at Pecos Bills and went to try Splash Mountain. Splash Mountain was temporarily closed with technical problems (which it seems to have a lot lately) so we did Thunder Mountain instead. Then it was time to find a good spot for SpectroMagic. We watched SpectroMagic and Wishes and made our way out.
We decided to end the night at Downtown Disney to get some ice cream from Ghirardelli (the cookie bottom sundae is delicious) and take a quick look in the World of Disney Store.
Sounds like a very nice trip. Thanks for sharing with us.
It really sounded like you enjoyed the 5K. It was great that you could hang out with the solo runner too before the race.
Deanna and I ran the half on Sunday. Where were you located on the course?

Some Ohio members of the House and Senate will have their own guests in the House gallery tonight when President Obama delivers his State of the Union address.
And they weren't chosen at random.
Both House Speaker John Boehner of West Chester and Ohio's senior senator, Democrat Sherrod Brown, have invited guests who are there to make a point on public policy.
Update 1/20/15 2:51 p.m.: ODOT says the field investigation has concluded, and the clean up operations have started. In a press release, ODOT says debris removal is expected to take anywhere from 24 to 48 hours. After that, inspectors will look at the southbound lanes of I-75 to see if any repairs are needed.
Update 01/20/15, 12:45 p.m.: The Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) and the City of Cincinnati have released new information about Monday night's overpass collapse on southbound I-75.
Commuters aren't the only ones trying to find new routes following Monday night's overpass collapse on southbound I-75 at Hopple Street. Truck drivers hauling goods and manufacturing products have to divert around town.
Ohio, Kentucky Indiana Regional Council of Governments' CEO Mark Policinski says the predicted multi-day road closure could have economic implications.
A Cincinnati Council committee could vote in two weeks on a plan to punish people who do not control their dangerous or vicious dogs.
The debate centers on whether the plan includes criminal penalties in addition to fines.
Council Member Yvette Simpson and others said the target needs to be drug dealers who train dogs to be vicious to protect their operations.
Frisch's Restaurants says a former executive stole millions from the company over several years and is taking him to court to recover it.
In a press release, Frisch's said Michael Hudson, the company's former assistant treasurer, embezzled an estimated $3.3 million from the company by forging payroll documents, creating false documents and accounting entries to divert the money into his personal bank accounts.
Frisch's said in its press release that Hudson resigned and assumed full responsibility. The civil suit has been filed in Hamilton County Common Pleas Court.

Watch: New Video for Bill Fay's "This World"
English singer Bill Fay released his first new studio LP in over 40 years called Life Is People (Dead Oceans) earlier this month. On Monday, Stereogum premiered the video for the album's new single featuring Jeff Tweedy, "This World", directed by Tim Rutili of Califone.
The video projects Super 8 film of nature, traffic, buildings, etc., onto a collection of faces including that of legendary Jesus Lizard/Scratch Acid frontman David Yow. About the collaboration, Rutili explains:
I loved Bill Fay's music the very first time I heard it. The timeless sounds, words and melodies always rang true for me. It is totally humanistic music. Compassionate, comforting, beautiful and necessary. When I heard Life is People, it immediately stuck to me like songs that had always been there.

David Bicknell, broker and owner of Intero Folsom Lake, is featured in the October 16, 2011 Sacramento Bee newspaper article.
SUNDAY, October 16, 2011
By: Phillip Reese and Rick Daysog
Sacramento Bee
Twenty-nine cents on the dollar.
That's what homebuyers now pay for a typical house in the Sacramento region compared to buyers in San Francisco. And if history is any guide, that mounting price gap could have a big impact on Sacramento's housing market and economy in the not-too-distant future.
The last time the spread between Bay Area median prices and Sacramento median prices grew so big was a decade ago, just before tens of thousands of Bay Area transplants arrived in Sacramento, turning a healthy housing market into a bona fide boom.
Since then, that wave of transplants has slowed to a drip, with barely more residents relocating from the Bay Area to Sacramento than heading in the other direction.
Several local real estate experts and economists said they don't expect to see another approaching fleet of U-Haul trucks quite yet, with the possible exception of a few being driven by carefree retirees.
"It's a different market now," said Suzanne O'Keefe, a Sacramento State economics professor. "Everyone is more cautious. The housing market isn't going to rebound quickly because people move from the Bay Area."
O'Keefe and others note that the local job market is stalled; cheap housing is available elsewhere; and many Bay Area residents already cashed out home equity during the boom. Just as key: Bay Area home prices are less expensive than they have been in years. A San Francisco condo worth $1 million in 2005 would sell today for about $840,000.
But even if Bay Area transplants aren't about to swoop into Sacramento tomorrow on white horses, many expect their numbers to increase, helping to put a floor on falling home prices. To bolster their case, these optimists point to past trends.
The San Francisco and Sacramento housing markets are closely entwined. Growing price differences between the two areas preceded and fed the last two housing booms.
The calculus is simple: Bay Area residents see their modest homes sell for immodest prices, and decide to cash out and buy quasi-mansions in Sacramento.
Right now, the median home price in the Sacramento region is about $185,000, according to data from Wells Fargo and the National Association of Home Builders. In San Francisco-Marin-San Mateo, it's $630,000. In the San Jose area, it's $454,000.
David Bicknell, the local franchisee for Intero Real Estate Services, is putting money behind his premonitions of a coming influx. His company recently opened offices in Folsom and El Dorado County and plans more expansion.
"More and more people are able to move to the Sacramento area," Bicknell said.
Influx of equity-rich retirees seen
Bicknell is encouraged by the local tech sector, which he believes is rebounding.
Intel Corp., one of the local region's largest private employers, recently hired 368 new workers at its Folsom campus, reversing more than a decade of downsizing.
The new hires increased Intel's local workforce by about 6 percent to 6,515 workers. Many are recent college graduates who have relocated to the region, the company said.
Tech company Bloo Solar of El Dorado Hills plans to hire another 40 or so workers over the next several years as it expands its solar manufacturing plant.
"We see this as a continuing trend," Bicknell said. "The homes are nice, the schools are good, and the cost of living is so much lower."
Retiring Bay Area baby boomers are just as important to Bicknell's strategy.
The last generation of retirees largely drove the big influx from the Bay Area to Sacramento 10 years ago. The town of Lincoln quadrupled in size during that boom, partly because of senior citizens arriving from places like Santa Clara County.
Assuming they have a pocket full of cashed-out equity, retirees might not worry as much as others about Sacramento's difficult economy.
"There's a lot of potential out there for the active adult market," said Dean Wehrli, a senior manager at John Burns Real Estate Consulting. "That part of the market is increasing, and it's going to be like that for 20 years."
Granite Bay Realtor Eve Fenstermaker said she has noticed more interest from prospective Bay Area buyers since last spring. She gave the example of a client who lives in the exclusive Blackhawk area of Contra Costa County. Two years ago, the woman balked at moving because of declining prices in her neighborhood – and corresponding lost equity. With prices recovering, she is considering Sacramento.
"If you can sell your house in the Bay Area for $900,000 and can buy a comparable house here for $725,000, why wouldn't you do it?" Fenstermaker said.
Douglas Booher, a 34-year-old Southwest Airlines pilot based in Oakland, recently looked at several homes in Folsom and El Dorado Hills. He likes the schools and the proximity to Lake Tahoe.
"If we can live in Sacramento in a nice home – maybe not our dream home, but a nice home – then we will have more money left to play with," said Booher, who rents in Clayton and spends much of his time on the road. "It's worth the two-hour drive once a week."

The Lehigh Navigation (referred to as the Lehigh Canal) was constructed to carry anthracite coal from the upper Lehigh Valley to Easton. The Lehigh Canal extended from White Haven to Easton. The Lehigh Canal system generated a great deal of industrial development in the form of mining and the accompanying infrastructure. It gave rise to many towns and offshoot businesses: timber cutting and sawmills; steel and silk mills; and one of the largest tanneries in the U.S., to name only a few businesses that once thrived here. Today, you will find watered sections and walking trails at Weissport, Walnutport, Allentown, Bethlehem, Freemansburg and Easton.

This is my first attempt at cold frame winter gardening. I have 2 4x8 frames each having 3 tops with double layer plastic sheeting. The center top is equipped with an automatic vent. My question is, at what temp do I close the frames at night? My hi/lo thermometer tells me that the last 2 nights the temps went down to 25. I had all the tops propped opened at about a 45 degree angle with no ill effects, but I'm worried that they can only take so much cold. I'm growing mesclin, spinach, lettuce, arugula, bok choy and mini chard...all planted Sept 13 and about 3-4 inches tall. |
Follow-Up Postings:
25 is a bit cold. If you have automatic vents why are you propping them open? Put a theromemeter in there and set/adjust the auto opener to the desired temp. Even cold tolerant crops do not grow if its too cold. |
Thanks for replying rb. I read somewhere that it is good to "toughen" up the plants for the really cold weather by letting them get as cold as possible without suffering ill effects. Everything still looks ok in spite of the weather..I have been keeping them closed. Except for the bok choy, which is looking really stressed. And I thought it was one of the more cold tolerant plants. |

How many of you lovelies — love face powder? By face powder — I am referring to foundation/finishing touch products! I am not a huge fan of foundation (unless it adorns matte appeal), or any finishing powder products…period! But I never gave it too much thought, as I usually wash, tone, moisturize and then — glam up my eyes! I just recently got into eye primers (love them) and I always covet my liners and shadows…but that's as much makeup as I am willing to go! I prefer to splurge on skin care products (to protect, heal, fix and prevent skin damage), rather than mask or cover up my flaws — with makeup! Oh yeah…I love my mascara and lip gloss as well! But that's as far as my "glam" routine goes! And it's still not on a daily basis! I strongly believe that makeup — should enhance and accentuate your natural beauty! I accept it's transforming abilities also!
Today, my rave is about the new Mally Beauty Evercolor Poreless Face Defender (which I received for review thanks to Mally Beauty )– which is by far…one of the best finishing perfection for a flawless look! It's extremely sheer (don't let the white appearance scare you — it blends completely to any and all skin tones), light as a feather (especially upon application) — all to diffuse the look of pores, minimize fine lines and to protect your makeup…from morning to night! This amazing face defender leaves a fierce matte finish, doesn't dry out your skin (or make it appear ashy like powder does). Your skin is left totally silky smooth and your makeup will last longer!
I highly recommend this Mally Beauty must-have!
It comes with a chic buffed-edge Japanese sponge! I am totally in love! Check out this video, courtesy of Mally Beauty — demonstrating the unique ability of this powder-free innovation!

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 Klinger!
Facts about Klinger
- Breed: Dachshund Mix
- Color: Black - With White
- Age: Young
- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
- Sex: Male
Klinger's Info...
I am already neutered, housetrained, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Kennel number 61 shivered in his cell at the pound. Animal Care & Control employees asked us to go look at this sweet little dog. It was his last day. He was being euthanized for fear. There is no doubt that Kennel 61 was scared - but the minute he got out of the pound, every ounce of fear left his body. He danced happily around, greeted everyone with exuberance and became a clingy little boy. Although hes very shy at first KLINGER LOVES HUMANS!!! There are no two ways about it. He is one of the most sweet-natured little dogs we have rescued. He got his name because he had a big nose (like Klinger on M*A*S*H) and because he is . . . well . . . a clinger when it comes to affection. He is working on his potty training and walking on a leash, and is a very quiet natured little guy
Klinger will make a great family dog or canine companion. He is a floppy wonderful guy. Come meet Klinger - you WILL fall in love.
Other Pets at Paw Placement
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Klinger, a Scottsdale Dachshund dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Dachshund for sale in Scottsdale, or seeking a Dachshund dog from a breeder in Scottsdale.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Scottsdale 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 Scottsdale 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 Dachshund breeders who help with Dachshund rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Scottsdale paves the way for another one to be saved.

Hot Trends: Decoding Notions of Natural and Organic in Personal Care

The growth in the use of natural products in personal care has been well documented in the last few years. The growth continues today and will, for the foreseeable future.
In the United States, according to a recent article in DATAMONITOR entitled "Developing the Basis for US Personal Care," the total value of the natural personal care product market is growing at an annual rate of 21.4 percent, which explains with some irony why so many "chemical" companies have developed extensive ranges of "natural" raw materials for personal care firms. For example, Induchem AG now offers Unisurrection S-61, a plantbased, preservative-free active complex for restructuring and protecting the skin that is derived from beet root and Haberlea rhodopensis leaf extract. Or consider rooibos extract from Jarchem, a product derived from South African caffeine-free tea that imparts strong anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antioxidant and hypoallergenic properties. The so-called "naturals" market now represents around 12 percent of the overall $48 billion US personal care market.
This is only an excerpt of the full article that appeared in P&F Magazine, but you can purchase the full-text version.
