MANCHESTER, NH - A few miles north of downtown Manchester, in a quaint neighborhood of narrow, wooden houses and compact, steepled churches, there's a large, back-lit sign that reads, CANADIAN CUISINE—POUTINE—SUBS—SEAFOOD. Another, next to it, reads, in black script, "Chez Vouchon." Enter the diner doors below the signs, make a left, and head straight to the diner's rear. You'll see a bulletin board spanning the diner's back wall, covered in red-and-white gingham fabric and pinned with an explosive smattering of political bumper stickers (John Kerry '04, Mike Huckabee '08, John Sununu, Bob Smith); snapshots of political candidates (Dick Gephardt, Wesley Clark, Joe Lieberman) posing with various people; pamphlets; newspaper articles; and pretty much any other two-dimensional political paraphernalia you can think of.
If you're there any day between the hours of eight and ten or so in the morning, you'll likely also see, directly in front of the board, a square table (or two, or three, or four, pushed together) of middle-aged guys swigging coffee, digging into ham and eggs, and talking—loudly—about politics.
And if you're there in the weeks before the New Hampshire primary, you'll likely also see, hovering over and around and next to the Guys, a gaggle of reporters.
While much of the "media circus" of this week's New Hampshire primary centered around the convention hotel-turned-media-center that was the Radisson Manchester, Chez Vouchon was that circus' nearly-official sideshow. The Granite State's active political engagement—its first-in-the-nation voting status is one its citizens not only fiercely protect, but also take incredibly seriously—has placed a high premium on man-on-the-street reporting when it comes to primary coverage. And here, a more convenient way to do such reporting is to tweak it a bit—to man-in-the-diner reporting. There are a couple of Go-To Diners in Manchester (the Red Arrow, the Merrimack), but the French-Canadian spot (specialties: crepes, poutine) is arguably the most popular among the media as a destination for New Hampshire's political pulse-taking. And it's that table of guys—jovial, genially argumentative, talking with and at and over one another—whose pulse they come to take.
In the past week, CBS News spent time with the Guys at Chez Vouchon. So did Fox News. So did the presidential candidates—every one but Obama, who sent a representative in his stead. (The Guys were not impressed.) Reuters and the Union Leader stopped by to chat. On Tuesday, election day, CNN's American Morning took over Chez Vouchon's back room, converting it into a makeshift TV studio, studding the room with cameras, rigging lights through plywood boards in the ceiling, and airing their broadcast live from the diner. (A lot of work, sure, but nobody minds. "They were great," the Guys say, "really nice. We loved having them here.")
To sit with the Guys over a meal (because "what induces conversation better than good food?" one asks) is to witness a game of political pinball: you never know who will get the conversational ball rolling, who will shoot it back, or whom it will ricochet against in the process. The ball rarely drops; the talk keeps going—ping, ping, ping—always lively, often with multiple conversations bumping into each other across the wooden table. Over the two hours I spent with the Guys this morning, they discussed, among (many) other subjects: political signs becoming litter ("that's really my pet peeve," one announced); Manchester Channel 9's coverage of last Saturday's ABC/Facebook debate ("shameful"); Edwards' chances in South Carolina; Obama's treatment by the press; New Hampshire's Democratic polls, and why they went so wrong; some pundits' speculation that they went wrong because voters wouldn't tell pollsters they wouldn't vote for a black man ("ridiculous and offensive"); Clinton's chances of winning South Carolina; Obama's chances of winning South Carolina; immigration; English as the national language; Richardson's concession (several of the Guys are supporters); the "cajones" Richardson showed during Saturday's debate; the personal sacrifices politicians make to run for president; the Second Amendment; the Brady Bill; John McCain's war record
and so on. (Ping! Ping! Ping-ping-ping!)
The Guys rarely agree. And that's kind of the point. "We have a lot of diversity when it comes to our ideas," the group's founder and unofficial leader, Dick Moquin, told me. "We want it that way; what good is discussion when everyone agrees with each other?" What they share is an active and informed love of talking politics ("lots and lots and lots of politics," Ray Scott, the group's loudest and most jovial member, interjects) and a sense of the influence they and their fellow New Hampshirites enjoy in selecting American presidents. "We know the nation's looking at us when we vote, and we're not about to screw that up," Scott says.

By CODY PORTER, email@example.com
Just shy of three seasons ago, a walk-on at Kentucky had his 15 seconds of bliss greeted by more than 23,000 screaming fans instructing him to "SHOOT!"
Now, senior Jarrod Polson is seen in a different light. The Wilmore native's fan-base tutelage has since been directed to those walking in similar shoes as walk-ons.
Since coming on to the Lexington campus, Polson, who was relatively unknown on the high-school basketball scene, has won a national championship and played alongside 15 current NBA players.
For 2013-14, UK basketball head coach John Calipari has once again reloaded, as fans are accustomed to him doing. Could they be better than prior Calipari teams? Expert minds say yes. But one known variable for the five projected pro prospects is that a one-time walk-on will be their guidance for the upcoming season.
While he's had many dream worthy experiences, the biggest hurdle in understanding who Jarrod Polson is, is understanding that he's not all that different from you or I.
"It's kind of weird because as a kid growing up I thought of an NBA player as 'woah' — if I saw one I would freak out," Polson said. "But now I've been playing against them in practice all of the time, and just seeing them go to the NBA, it's kind of different. You just see them as buddies and not really a superstar."
Polson grew up playing basketball in his backyard with his dad and older brothers, Eric and Wes. Having picked up a ball, which began shooting at 18 months, George Polson said his son Jarrod, despite being much younger, was typically a consensus top pick for pickup game selections.
"He's always had a self passion for it," George said. "I have video of him at 18 months shooting basketball; not throwing, but shooting."
Always having had his favorites, such as Michael Jordan or Keith Bogans, George said Jarrod's biggest influence for developing his game was as simple as having to go up against more experienced competition.
"He was just able to sharpen (his skills) against much older people," George said. "It got to the point when they were choosing sides, they would choose him over these teenagers because he was better them."
A 51-point game against Lexington Catholic on Jan. 24, 2009 marked the beginning of Polson's trek to from West Jessamine High School to UK.
"He was always more of a team player," George said. "He could've scored 35, 40 (point per game) if he wanted to, but he always deferred to his teammates. His high-school coach (Robert Hammonds) once asked, 'What buttons can I push to get him to shoot. I cannot get him to shoot. He needs to takeover,'"
Polson could've played the AAU circuit to gain notoriety, but George said Jarrod was adamantly against that route.
"I want to be a normal kid; I want my summers off," George said Jarrod often told he and his mother,
George said Jarrod always believed he could play college basketball at some level without having to risking living out his high-school experience.
"I remember Tonya Knight, Brandon's mom, asked me up in Canada that first year. She asked me where Jarrod played AAU, and I'm like, 'He didn't,'" George said. "She gave me that dumbfounded look, astonished that Jarrod never played AAU and still ended up at UK."
As is expected for a walk-on, Jarrod's production at UK was limited until last season. His first two years resulted in a combined 28 games of action, five less than in 2012-13.
Although last year's team paled by comparison of Calipari's prior teams, Jarrod's increase in minutes was a culmination of the seasoning, experience and growth he had undertaken since 2010.
Jarrod said while the likes of Brandon Knight, Marquis Teague and Ryan Harrow have thanked him for the battles he brought them, they too have helped mold him to what he is entering his senior year.
"I think that definitely helped them in the games and on to their future careers," Jarrod said. "That's really a big goal of mine, and always has been, is just to make whoever I'm going against better and they've made me a lot better, and I'm really thankful for them, too."
That same devotion to work is what Jarrod said he believes got him into the situation he's currently in as a Wildcat.
"I'm just going to work my hardest," Jarrod said. "I have the last three years and I think that's what the coaches, the fans and the players really appreciate … So I'm just going to try to leave the way I came in — trying to work hard."
Hard work payed off in the Cats' opening game of last season. On the grand scale of the newly opened Barclays Center, the kid from a town populated with a little over 5,000 residents enamored New York. Leading the Terrapin by one point, Jarrod was fouled with 7.7 seconds left.
Meanwhile, back in their Jessamine County home, George and Chrisi Polson were seemingly a nervous wreck, and shortly in the homes of many Twitter users around the globe. Two foul shots later by Jarrod and the Wildcats had a 72-69 lead, ultimately the final score, while he had what was then a career-high 10 points.
"The photo (on Twitter of Polson's parents) actually puts it in perspective, but I was so nervous and overly excited," George said. "It was one of those things where I couldn't believe what was going on. Not that I doubted Jarrod's ability, just that he got a chance to finally show what he was capable of, and he performed on a national stage like that."
The moment that took George out of his chair and onto his knees was captured by Jarrod's sister Alyse. Three days later in Atlanta for UK's game against Duke, George and Chrisi were being approached by countless fans letting them know how much they enjoyed seeing their moment captured.
"We looked over during a timeout and she (Alyse) was giggling. I was like, 'What are you laughing at?' She goes, 'That picture I took has already got over a hundred hits,' and I just did that little slow look like, 'What picture? What are you talking about?'"

I brewed a beer that was supposed to be an IIPA...but the OG ended up at 1.115. Is this still likely going to end up in the acceptable range, and would I have to do anythign special to it, like add some champagne yeast to do additional fermentation? I haven't taken an FG yet, so I don't know what it went down to at all...I pitched a bunch of S-05 from a batch I washed a few months ago. I also only made a 3 gallon batch...but hopped it as if it was a full 5g batch...so it might be way overboard on Maltiness, Hoppiness and ABV... which I am fine with as this is supposed to be something kind of special, but this is way higher than any other OG I've had and am feeling like I am in slightly uncharted territory... Any advice, critique, or general wisdom would be welcomed. Oh, here is what went into it: For 3 gallons post-boil (might be closer to 3.5, fermented in carboy with no volume markings): 16lbs 2-row 1lb 10oz vienna 13oz cara 10 13oz carafoam 3oz honey malt 13oz corn sugar -1.0 oz Columbus Hops (90 Minutes) -1.0 oz Nugget Hops (90 Minutes) -1.0 oz Centennial Hops (35 Minutes) -1.0 oz Cascade Hops (20 Minutes) -1.0 oz Centennial Hops (15 Minutes) -1.0 oz Cascade Hops (10 Minutes) -1.0 oz Centennial Hops (5 Minutes) -0.5 oz Cascade Hops (3 Minutes) -0.5 oz Centennial Hops (2 Minutes) -1.0 oz Simcoe Hops (1 Minutes) -1.0 oz Galaxy Hops (1 Minutes) Dry hop 2oz each cascade and centennial, but haven't done this yet. Mashed at 158*, fermented at 68*, is currently aging in primary before transfer to secondary for further aging and dry hopping.
I would see where the US-05 takes the FG to. If at that point you think it is still to sweet and could use some more fermentation, you could probably pitch some champagne yeast or something with a higher alcohol tolerance to bring it down a bit more. That being said, I am only guessing and am equally interested to know the outcome of this.
The fact that you mashed so high might not help your attenuation much.
Yeah that's going to lead to a lot of residual sweetness
How long did you mash it for? A longer mash might've still given the beta amylase time to work a bit. You won't know until you get a FG though. I've never used champagne yeast in a beer, but I've heard others say they didn't like it. There's a thread going on right now about a stout that's too sweet too. the main suggestion on that one is to brew another lighter batch and blend them. (or raise the IBUs with a hop tea... That idea probably won't work for yours though)
Next time use this calculator to help you with your strike water temp. Once you get a handle on your equipment loss this makes figuring out water volumes and temps a piece of cake! http://www.brew365.com/mash_sparge_water_calculator.php I find that this calculator is spot on with mash temp IF I preheat my mash tun first (52 qt rectangular cooler) with hot tap water.

I had a bock that the og was 1.093 it took 3 months before it started tasting good. But man what a kick, drink one 16 oz and you couldnt get out of the chair. Not too sweet but had a chocolate and coffee taste.

($450; a blend of 56% Coonawarra cabernet sauvignon and 44% Barossa shiraz) Violet color. Cherry, blackberry and sexy oak spices on the nose, with a suave smoky tone adding complexity. Very sweet and sappy, with fat but juicy flavors of cherry preserves, ripe plum and baking spices. This has great flavor extract and richness but it's not thick or viscous. A wine of great structure, depth and length finishing on a sweetly spicy note of new American oak. This clocks in at only 13.3% alcohol and proves that a wine does not need head-spinning alcohol or ultraripeness to accomplish flavor impact. The only previous bottling under this bin number was the 1962.

Hi Betty,gosh I haven't been here for so long.I am so sorry about your mother,I'm ashamed I didn't know til now.Anyway God Bless you and your family. I have a question,I'm finally mosaicing again,I know you use the thinset for grout also but how do you get charcoal?All Lowes has here is gray do they order it for you?Thanks I'll post pic's as soon as I have time,I am doing a show in the Hill country at Xmas and will have mosaics and jewerly ..love to you all I've missed all of you! |

OHMYGOODNESS!!!!!!!!! How wonderful to see you here again, and to read that you're mosaicing again. For NANA, the Hill country is around Austin - LOVE that part of TX - lived in Round Rock for awhile b/f going back to work after DH died, and still miss that area. Good luck on your ventures. Re your question, I mix half black grout w/half gray thinset - Mapei from Lowes. It's not fun using the thinset for grout, but has been very successful for me. I read somewhere several yrs. ago that other mosaicists use thinset for grout for outside projects. It's very tough. That mixture drys faster than regular grout, so grouting small areas, cleaning as you go works best. If you wait too long, use a brush - sometimes I had to use a small steel brush to clean the grout off. Believe me, it's tough enough to stay put for long after you're gone, IMHO. Soooooooo glad to see you back - have missed you. |

Sunshine and warmer temperatures are making me dream of conservatories.
I love the way this looks right next to the pool, and it would be wonderful during the Summer months. If I were really going to have a conservatory, I'd want it attached to the house, so I could also use it in the Winter months. I'm not going to walk out into the cold to sit inside a conservatory.
I do think it would be nice to sit inside, looking out at snow falling, or snow covering the ground.
And just sitting in a conservatory, enjoying a beautiful view would be wonderful.
I like the way it looks as if someone could practically dive into the pool from inside this conservatory! With my clumsiness lack of coordination, I can visualize me falling into the pool with a tray of food or beverages while carrying them to the conservatory!
Aren't they all charming?
I'd want a telescope inside, so I could look up at the stars at night.
I did a little research into the difference between an orangery and a conservatory. Although an orangery was originally used for growing tropical fruit trees, the term seems to currently be used as an more of an extension and/or more permanent addition to your home than a conservatory.
Today, the structure is referred to as a conservatory if it is made entirely of glass, and as an orangery if other materials are used, so that the structure can be heated for year-round use. Maybe what I'm dreaming of is an orangery. With the Winter we've had, a conservatory wouldn't have had much use, so I can understand why a conservatory is often referred to as a folly.
Thank you for coming to dream with me. laurie

Bring Original Killing Loneliness Video Back!
HIM, as in His Infernal Majesty, the Finnish Goth-Rockers released their great album, \"Dark Light\", and one of the songs titled \"Killing Loneliness\" was made into a video. And what a great video was made. Unfortunately, the video was deemed to confusing and \'mature\' for American audiences, so for the sake of the public, a new video was made. And it is a horrible cheesy typical video that all the poser masses would love, and obviously, being not a member of that mass, I was terribly disappointed to see such a magnificent video being scrapped for the sake of popularity. By signing this petition, you can help bring this beautiful, video that is completely befitting of HIM, back to the American audience.

Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer characterised the recent Sidekick data loss
episode as "not good", and said he believes all the data will be
recovered, but added that Microsoft will have to be more forthcoming in
explaining to enterprise customers why a similar situation won't occur
with Microsoft's online services.
"It is something we are going to have to address and explain to
customers our method and process and quality approach and what went
wrong in that case and how we are making sure that it does not happen
again," Ballmer said.
Ballmer spent part of his morning keynote at a Sharepoint conference
explaining how Microsoft plans to push the cloud version of SharePoint
and create options for users to run their applications and store data in
the cloud.

I had a Cap1 chargeof in '02 or '03. Got a preapproval in the mail a few months ago. Applied online was instantly denied. Reason was the chargeoff. They didn't even do a hard pull. At the time of app I had zero negatives. 735 score. In my case they remember me.
I had a CO with capital one. I paid it back in January and I was approved for a secured card w/ a $49 deposit/$200 limit at the end of February. I don't know how they are going to process CLI however. The secured card advertises that you may get unsecured increases and the deposit refunded as long as you pay on time yadayadayada... I am hoping that the old CO that I paid doesn't make them keep a tight leash on the CLI's... I am waiting to receive the card in the mail. Should have it in a few days. They sent me an email saying they mailed it out
As long as the CO is settled/paid...go for it. I had a CO as well.
I had a charge off in 2008. They gave me a secured card with 49 down and a 200cl.

Turn an Android Device into an Eye-Fi Server with Eye-Fi Droid
Productivity Sauce
If you happen to use the Eye-Fi card with your digital camera and an Android-based device, you ought to check the Eye-Fi Droid app. It instantly transforms your Android device into a spiffy little Eye-Fi server, and you can then upload photos from the digital camera directly to the Android device and use Eye-Fi Droid's features to geotag and share the uploaded shots.
Installing and configuring Eye-Fi Droid is easy; the only requirement is that you already have an Eye-Fi account created when you install and activate your Eye-Fi card on Windows or Mac OS X. Install the latest release of Eye-Fi Droid from the Android Market on your Android device, launch the application and enter the required info. That's all there is to it. Turn on your digital camera and Eye-Fi Droid automatically downloads photos from it. There is a caveat, though: the Eye-Fi card can connect to the Eye-Fi Droid server only via a Wi-Fi router, and there is no way to create a direct connection between the digital camera and the Android device. This, of course, limits Eye-Fi Droid's usefulness, but it still can come in handy when you want to transfer photos to your Android device, bypassing your computer.
Surely most Android phones
Surely most Android phones will have a built-in wifi component within the next few years, so the middle step of needing a wifi receiver will become moot. Of course eye-fi droid will have advanced by then as well. Perhaps it's even reasonable to expect a line of cameras with wifi built in.

I had the same thing. I was auto grouped but always tried to say Hi upon entering the group. I was always met with blank chat.

Then when the objective is complete, the player just zones out of the system but does not bother to leave the group.

Screening mammograms in women under age 40 result in high rates of callbacks and additional imaging tests but low rates of cancer detection, according to a study published online May 3 in theJournal of the National Cancer Institute.
Many studies have assessed mammography in women over age 40 years, but little is known about its usefulness in younger women. Although screening mammograms are not generally recommended under age 40, about 29% of women between 30 and 40 report having had one.
To determine the accuracy and outcomes of mammograms in younger women, Bonnie C. Yankaskas, Ph..D., from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and colleagues, pooled data from six mammography registries around the country. Their study included 117,738 women who had their first mammogram between the ages of 18 and 39. The researchers followed the women for a year to determine the accuracy of the tests and their cancer detection rates. They analyzed data for both screening mammograms and diagnostic mammograms, which were performed because a woman had a warning sign or symptom, such as a lump.
No cancers were detected in women 25. Among the 73,335 women aged 35-39, the researchers found that screening mammograms had poor accuracy (sensitivity, specificity, and positive predictive value) and high rates of recall for additional tests. The cancer detection rate in this group was 1.6 cancers per 1,000 women.
For diagnostic mammograms, accuracy was better and the detection rate was 14.3 cancers per 1,000 women aged 35-39.
The authors conclude that in a theoretical population of 10,000 women having a screening mammogram between ages 35 and 39, 1,266 would be called back for further testing, 16 cancers would be detected, and therefore 1,250 women would have false positives.
In this population, they write, "our findings support a need for serious discussion about the appropriateness of mammography in women without t

I had Lark Rise to Candleford on my list of shows to see for quite a while and never got around to watching it. But once I did, I couldn't stop. I was totally addicted.
Lark Rise to Candleford is based on Flora Thompson's trilogy of semi-autobiographical novels about life in the English countryside during the late 19th Century. The story's central character is young Laura Timmins who leaves her home in the small hamlet of Lark Rise to work for her cousin Dorcas Lane at the post office in the neighboring town of Candleford.
Some have called it a British version of Little House on the Prairie and I guess there are some overall similarities — a daughter named Laura from a large family learning all about life and love. But as far as I'm concerned, the similarities end there. I find Lark Rise to Candleford to be much more entertaining and elegantly produced.
Unlike so many shows on television today, Lark Rise to Candleford has no violence, no harsh language and no special effects. Just simple stories that take you back in time and really paint a beautiful picture of what life may have been like in the late 1800s. Of course, not all the stories have happy endings, but they are moving. Some episodes even moved me to tears, which isn't easy to do! The series explores such timeless topics as first love, heartbreak, jealousy, loneliness, pride, poverty and even women's rights.
The incredible ensemble cast is made up of characters you grow to know and love as the series unfolds. My favorite character is Thomas Brown, played by Mark Heap. But only because I've seen other characters that Mark Heap has played and they are so totally different than Thomas Brown. A lot of the shows Mark is in are comedies, so to see him play a more dramatic role is very impressive. I love actors who have range and can successfully play all different types of roles. And when it comes to range, compare Julia Sawalha as Dorcas Lane in this series to her role as Saffron Monsoon from Absolutely Fabulous. Totally different.
A combination of superb acting, luscious cinematography, and brilliant writing will keep you glued to the screen and wanting more. It's a shame there were only four seasons. But what great seasons they are!
Olivia Hallinan – Laura Timmins
Julia Sawalha – Dorcas Lane
Claudie Blakley – Emma Timmins
Brendan Coyle – Robert Timmins
John Dagleish – Alf Arless
Mark Heap – Thomas Brown
Sandy McDade – Margaret Brown
Linda Bassett – Queenie Turrill
Karl Johnson – Twister Turrill
Matilda Ziegler – Pearl Pratt

The Duplass Brothers Explain How They Would Have Made 'Battleship'
Features By Scott Beggs on June 26, 2012 | Comments (2)The Duplass Brothers got into making movies by making movies. Some called it Mumblecore, but it should really be called The Nike Method. Their latest, The Do-Deca-Pentathalon features two brothers locked in an epic (yet secretive) sporting event that they take exactly as seriously as it needs to be taken. But as Mark and Jay Duplass explain in this interview, no matter the type of movie they make, they'll always focus on the small moments and emotions that arise from them. One example? Battleship. If given the blockbuster, here's how the pair would have delivered the littoral explosion-fest
Mark Wahlberg Still Keen On His Justin Bieber Basketball Drama
Movie News By Nathan Adams on December 28, 2011 | Comments (1)News popped up last spring that Mark Wahlberg was planning to make a dramatic movie with tween pop sensation Justin Bieber. It seemed a little ridiculous at the time, because why would Mark Wahlberg, an actor who spent years trying to shrug off his own reputation as a music industry pop act, want to dive back into that can of worms by appearing in something alongside the current flavor of the week? He must have his reasons, however, because MTV recently asked the actor/producer a few questions about the project, and it sounds like it's still on.
Amy Adams Makes the Cut to Be Clint Eastwood's Daughter in 'Trouble With the Curve'
Casting Couch By Nathan Adams on November 16, 2011 | Be the First To CommentRecently the big news hit that a hole in Clint Eastwood's directing schedule was going to lead him into coming out of acting retirement and allow him to star in a new movie called Trouble With the Curve. The story centers on a baseball scout who is losing his sight and getting too old for his job and who embarks on a final road trip/scouting mission with his adult daughter. Apparently, she's there to help him scout a hot young prospect, but I'm willing to bet some daddy/daughter bonding is going to go on as well. Just call it a hunch. Reports were going around soon after the film was announced that Sandra Bullock was in negotiations to play the daughter, but those negotiations must not have gone too well, because she never signed, and now Variety is reporting that Amy Adams has been offered the role instead. Apparently Bullock's schedule was too full to fit the movie in, so Warner Bros. is hoping that Adams will be more flexible. I think this is a good move for the studio all around. Adams isn't as big of a name as Bullock, but that means she will probably come cheaper. And, also, she comes with the added perk of being so much better than Sandra Bullock.
Over/Under: 'Hoosiers' vs. 'Cool Runnings'
Features By Nathan Adams on November 15, 2011 | Comments (4)Hoosiers is one of those films that somehow finds a way to strike a chord with nearly everyone who watches it. There are some movies that are just mainstream right down to their DNA. There's this, there's The Shawshank Redemption, maybe a Forrest Gump; they get mentioned as people's favorite movies with far greater frequency than anything else. And I'm not talking about cinema buffs when I say people, I'm talking about your grandma, the guy who works on your car, the grandma that works on your car. You know, regular people. Since it contains one of the big starring roles of Gene Hackman's career and it was directed by David Anspaugh, who repeated his success at telling an Indiana sports tale with Rudy, that should probably come as no surprise. Disney is maybe the most mainstream production company in the movie business. From the very beginning they've focused on creating wholesome entertainment that the whole family can enjoy together. In the early 90s one of those attempts at making movies for the whole family was Cool Runnings, a John Candy starring bobsled movie that most people might describe as a "guilty pleasure." It gets lumped in with other 90s sports movies that Disney made like The Mighty Ducks and Air Bud, movies that you can look back at with nostalgia, but if you were to watch them today would look about as ridiculous as a team of Jamaicans showing up to the Winter Olympics with a bobsled.
Antoine Fuqua and Eminem Might Cash in on 'The Fighter' Success
Movie News By Nathan Adams on June 7, 2011 | Be the First To CommentWhenever a smaller film breaks through and becomes a mainstream success it is always inevitable that a series of imitators will soon follow and attempt to ride its coattails. In this case, The Fighter got a lot of critical success by telling the story of street level hoodlums gaining success in the world of hand to hand combat, so now we have trailers for Warrior hitting theaters and news that Training Day director Antoine Fuqua is going to team up with 8 Mile star and hugely successful white guy who raps Eminem to make a new boxing movie called Southpaw. Fuqua was thought to be directing a biopic of another famed rapper, the late Tupac Shakur, but news that he's close to signing on to this film points to the fact that he must have stepped away from Tupac for now. Probably similar to what was being planned for the Tupac film, Southpaw will detail the day-to-day tragedies of the life of a welterweight boxer as he struggles his way to greatness. I guess the moral of this story is just that Fuqua really likes to make movies about poor, urban people. Now if he could just make something that affected people as much as Training Day he might get somewhere as an auteur. Maybe Eminem will be his good luck charm; he's at least got to do more for Fuqua's career than he did for Curtis Hanson's. [24 Frames]
Sylvester Stallone's epic boxing series closed the curtains with this final installment and is not only (arguably) the best since the first, but also contains a sincerity that trickled out of the franchise since Rocky defeated Apollo Creed. Oops, spoiler.
Should you really cheer for the underdogs if they have low morals and resort to petty theft to elevate their own self-esteem?

This past Memorial Day weekend marked the 13th anniversary of Summer Camp Music Festival, and annual event that takes place at the celebrated Three Sisters Park in Chillicothe, Illinois. Since the festival's beginning in 2001, it has grown rapidly into a bona fide heavy-hitter event by delivering major artists of multiple genres year after year.

Spring is right around the corner and for many excited festival attendees the anticipation is building for the annual Summer Camp Music Festival, held at Three Sisters Park in Chillicothe, Illinois. Since 2001, Summer Camp has consistently brought some of the largest acts in jam, electronic, bluegrass, hip-hop, and many other genres, and this year is no exception.
Jomeokee Campground is the home of the Jomeokee Music & Arts Festival located in the town of Pinnacle, North Carolina. The thought had not dawned on me, until I saw Pilot Mountain in the distance that I was heading to a bluegrass festival in the stomping grounds of the characters from The Andy Griffith Show. In the Andy Griffith Show, the writers of the show switched the name to Mt. Pilot. Mt.
I have a problem. It's not a joke. I am addicted to music. I have been a victim to this addiction since 1987, maybe earlier. That was my first live music experience. My addiction to music has affected me adversely in the following ways: uncontrollable smiles, a feeling of connection to everyone around me, and a sense of synchronicity with harmony and syncopation within my everyday surroundings.
There's a lot to be said for just dropping off the grid. I'm not talking 'move to a desert island' kind of grid dropping.. But the temporary, and temporal sort; where one's mind, body and spirit can take a break from the burdens of life. Genuine rejuvenation. It's the reason vacations were invented, I'm sure. But not every vacation truly is one; especially these days.
On such an amazing weekend of music around Boulder, Colorado, there were many tough decisions to make regarding what to see this weekend. The decision to see moe. at the Boulder Theater was an easy one. They always kill it, and the Boulder Theater is the perfect venue for them to play.

Drivers on Interstate 95 traveling through Bridgeport might be shocked to learn that the city is one of the least affordable housing markets in the nation. Old factories and warehouses sit idle and many neighborhoods have seen better days.
Indeed, home prices are inexpensive within city limits -- you can pay less than $140,000 for a three bedroom, two-bath Cape Cod, for example. But Bridgeport lies within a metro area that also includes Greenwich, Westport and other wealthy enclaves.
Those locales are filled with posh homes occupied by corporate brass, hedge fund managers and professional athletes, all of which have helped to raise the area's home prices beyond the reach of many families.

In 2001, the first iTAN Sun Spray Spa opened its doors. It had a simple goal?to make clients feel and look lovely with professional tanning services. Today, the spa has more than 30 Southern California franchises, each offering a slightly different assortment of teeth whitening, tanning beds, spray-tanning booths, and self-serve spa offerings.
The Smart Tan?certified staff prioritizes keeping up with tanning technology by stocking state-of-the-art tanning beds such as the Sun Angel, which uses sensors to customize a blend of UVA and UVB rays, practically eliminating overexposure. Many beds come equipped with stereo sound systems, misters, and fans. Just down the hall from these beauty gadgets, Mystic and airbrush machines bronze limbs without UV rays, and self-administered spa treatments dispense relaxing red-light facials, infrared-heat bodywraps, and aqua massages.
Amid a background of soft music and dimmed lighting, ERoma Skin Care and Day Spa's skin specialists administer soothing spa treatments designed to revitalize and restore. Essential oils, heated stones, and focused pressure bring the body to a state of total bliss during relaxing and therapeutic massages. Licensed aestheticians lavish faces with skin treatments that feature cameos from mineral-rich vitamins and masks, and vichy showers in the wet treatment room rain warm water on the body as specialists apply body wraps and dry brushes to disarm overprotective 'Mom' tattoos. The body's outer perimeters, meanwhile, emerge fully groomed after a date with a hairstylist or nail technician, and spa packages welcome clients for extended stays that include a buffet of invigorating body and skincare services.
Aesthetician and Skin Boutique founder Danielle Sladek wants to follow her clients home. She won?t try to climb into their cars, but she and her team of continually educated skin therapists make sure that every customer leaves understanding how best to treat their skin type between spa visits. During face-centric treatments, the spa's weapons of choice are Dermalogica products, which are made in the United States, never tested on animals, and won't attract bears with their scent. Past the spa?s glitzy chandeliers, plum-colored accents, and ornate wallpaper, guests relax in private treatment rooms as staff pamper their skin with both classic and high-tech procedures.
In the colorful, light-filled rooms of Gracy Elements Spa, San Diego Lashes' specialized aestheticians have perfected one craft: creating long, full lashes with synthetic eyelash extensions. Lashes come in a variety of lengths, thicknesses, materials, and shapes, including the natural J curl, dramatic C curl, and intimidating Z curl for predatory butterfly kisses. During the 1.5- to 2-hour application, the lash artist uses a special adhesive to forge a molecular bond between each falsie and the natural lash, creating a durable hold that helps extensions stay in place for the entirety of the lash's life cycle.
The second her clients walk through the door, Ana strives to give them the most relaxing experience possible by delivering meticulously preformed nail services with a personal and friendly approach. Her manicures and pedicures are executed with some of the industry's most popular products, such as OPI nail polish and CND Shellac's long-wearing gel-formula lacquer. Patrons on the go can beautify their tips with Ana's basic mani-pedi, which includes nail shaping, a light massage, and polish. More leisurely clients or retired vacuum salesmen can indulge in a more extravagant treatment, such as hot-stone massage therapy, a moisturizing foot mask, or a refreshing scrub.
Shear Envy's hip, full-service hair boutique beautifies patrons from head to freshly polished toes with an array of hair, skin, and body services. The contemporary space envelops clients in cool, aqua hues and modern amenities, including a state-of-the art color bar where hair wizards concoct custom color for vibrant new 'dos. The ever-training stylists tend to split ends and abandoned bird's nests with dry cutting, razor cutting, and classic precision cutting. Other spa-inspired services include vivifying facials, pampering pedicures and manicures, and swiftly administered waxing treatments.

"Really good! The first non-meat burgers I've ever made that stayed together while cooking/flipping. So good, I even made them for the in-laws. I'm not the world's biggest canned tuna fan; the title of this recipe is correct... "this is tuna?""
"We made peanut brittle, sunflower seed brittle, and almond brittle for my dad for Father's Day. He's a big fan of (and very picky about) peanut brittle and loved all three. My mom even liked it and she normally doesn't enjoy brittles. The sunflower seed brittle was my favorite. We did burn the first batch - we found that the trick was to remove..."
"Very good. I made a batch last night (2nd batch this week) and reheated it in a crockpot for a lunchtime potluck today. It went over extremely well - it was the favorite food of the day - and the soup kept it's consistency. I didn't bother with the croutons (although they sound good) - I just made the soup and served it with grated parm. This ..."
"This was good and easy and we'll have it again. The thyme and basil really stood out - together with the mushrooms, it created a unique flavor that was really enjoyable. We used 1/2 shiitake and 1/2 cremini mushrooms. I found I needed to add quite a bit of extra milk to make the sauce "saucy," but otherwise followed the recipe."
"This was really good and very easy to make. I added a little more blue cheese than the recipe called for, and used much less salt (just a sprinkle). Looking forward to the leftovers - I have a feeling they'll be just as good (if not better than) the fresh dish."
"Very easy to make and really good. Prep was super simple and extremely quick - we threw the nuts and onion into a food processor. We used cashews because of a walnut allergy, and subbed Total for Cornflakes, but otherwise followed the recipe. My husband is not a vegetarian and he enjoyed it, also. We will definitely make this again."
"We've made 4 loaves of this bread in the past 2 weeks and have shared it with loads of people at potlucks and at my husband's workplace, and everyone thought it was delicious. Super easy to make, too. We did not use nuts due to allergies, and in 2 loaves, we doubled the pineapple."

Morning chicks thought I would get us started since I am up early and leaving in a moment to go to the clinic. I have some sort of eye infection going on. My whole eye area is swollen actually swelling as I type. I can feel it swelling and it hurts. The bottom lid is so swollen I can see out of my eye. The Clinic opens at 8:00 and I intend to be the first one there. I will check in with ya's all later.

This is a great eyeshadow for blue eyes.
I ordered three shadows from Cat Cosmetics. I'm using Kitto on the lid and brow bone, Illusion as an eyeliner and Tabby in the crease. They are excellent for all day wear.
For a bit more drama and depth, I'm also using Illusion in the crease and blend Tabby on top.
I thought these eye shadows were a little pricey, but now that I've been using for a while, I think they'll last a very long time, making them well worth it.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
It's a good one. I'd say it would go better with dark eyes rather than blue, but it's still has a wonderful staying power and quality.
This eyeshadow is a beautiful color. It is shimmery but not glittery. It is a beautiful color and wears very well throughout the day. I can wear it to work or out on the town. I have to agree with everyone else that the color is extremely versatile. It makes my hazel eyes really "pop." Thank you Cat Cosmetics!!!!
Wow. This really does look great on blue eyes..and the best part about it is, there is no crumbling or powder residue that you have to blow off the compact. I really like this shadow so far, lasts all day and look really nice lid to crease on me. And the compact is soooo cute! It has a little mirror in side and the compact itself is very nice and smooth. The only negative is you can't see the color. But the mirror more than makes up for that. The brown seems your typical brown..but wow, just enough. My HG brownish color was a tossup between magnetic fields (MAC) and Copperplate (MAC) but this one just may replace them or be a great altertnative (magnetic fields and femme fi are the only two shadows I have EVER bought a backup for). But I'm really liking Tabby, and of course, no LE so that is another huge bonus. Repeating another reviewer, if you have blue eyes, get this and try it out...their return policy, although not stated on the website that I could find is 30 days, used or not for an exchange or refund, very prompt customer service! A+
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I have been using this eyeshadow for quite some time now, so add me to the list of fans. I love Cat's eyeshadows in general but this is my go to crease color. I use Buff all over the lid and then Tabby in the crease, and it is a beautiful, no fail, everyday look. I also use panther as a wet or dry liner with this combo and it's great for a more dramatic look. I have a ton of eye colors, and none of them look as good on me as this combo. I think Tabby is a must have for anyone that's looking for a nice neutral that will work for a subtle or more glammed up look. If you have blue eyes, you need this shadow!
3 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Well, add me to the list of victims! This shadow is a fabulous quality and colour. I accidentally bought the refill, so I will get the palette as I'd like some more of her products. (Who is she, by the way? I think I read an actress. The website is a little confusing but the customer service is second to none.) The shadow is soft, soft, soft but not crumbly and it is rich in pigment that is glittery but not too much so. Very impressive. I have the Oscar Glow and I'm about to RAVE about that too.
I have to agree with everyone here, Tabby is a GREAT eyeshadow! I have had mine for years, and it still works beautifully! This looks nice in the crease with a neutral on the lid. Today I used it with Bare Escentuals Blush eyeshadow as a wash from lashline to brows, and Tabby in the crease. Bobbi Brown Espresso e/s with damp liner brush to line upper lids, and lots of Maybelline's Define-A-Lash black mascara. Used MAC's Powerpoint pencil in Duck to lightly line lower lashline. Quick, easy, day look that made my eyes glow! If you are going to buy any eyeshadows from Cat Cosmetics... I highly recommend Tabby! Very versatile!
More reviews by cosmeticaholic
Gorgeous shade and I love to pair this with Frisky e/s as highlighter and Illusion e/s used wet as liner! Will always have this shade as a staple in my refillable cat cosmetics palette!
Absolutely fabulous. This is one of my favorite eye shadows ever. Beautiful bronze color, not too dark nor too light. I like to pair it w/ Eartha Cat shimmer but there are very few colors this will not go with. Excellent staying power, not too matte nor overly shimmery. I could see this working on any eye color. I am a FFF warm toned, brown eyes. Highly recommended.
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
This is my absolute favorite eye shadow color of any line, ever. It is a bronzey color..it does have shimmer.looks great as a contour shadow (with her Frisky color), or on the outer corners to make a smokey eye. Also a great color as a liner. It's great for everyday, or for out at night. REALLY great color. Doesn't crease at all.

New house has an oval shaped window with some design that has some opaque glass and some clear. Well, I was thinking of getting an opaque contact paper and covering the window, perhaps even cutting out a small diamond hole to use as a peep hole. What else could I use for total privacy? Thanks. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Amazon has window film: http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=window+film&x=0&y=0 I just put some over the glass in my front door. |
If you can, I would change to a solid door. I have seen very few modern doors that have the right size and proportion of oval glass anyway. |
I am renting the house so I will have to work with the oval window. I think the door is from 1960 the year the house was built. |
