"Easy, delicious, fast. I added a little seasoning salt on top so it wouldn't look so yellow. Dipping sauce big hit with fam. Didn't bother dissolving brown sugar."
"Delicious & simple. Big hit with the fam: I may have increased the pepper flakes & ginger a little too much. Mine was a little tough, but I may have just gotten a tough chicken."

Clay returns to Hackmatack in 'The Music Man'
Thursday, July 10, 2014
BERWICK — Dan Clay was really just a boy the last time he was cast as Professor Harold Hill on the stage of Hackmatack Playhouse in Berwick. At the time, he thought of his character as a con man, who thought of himself as a con man.
"I'm looking forward to the maturity Clay is going to bring to the roll," Hilton said.
Clay studied acting at the Tisch School at NYU, got work in theater in New Hampshire, became the theater director at Brewster Academy and decided that education would be his profession. |

The 15 year FHA is a better loan now. The payments are not much higher than the 30 year FHA. There is no pmi on the 15 year but they still hit you with a prepaid mortgage insurance but that is much better than paying it for 5 years or life of the loan. And the interest rates are lower on the 15 year. I am trying to do a 15 year FHA loan with Wells Fargo. And if you purchase a discount point or two, it is even a better deal.

How do these compare? Other than one is standing and one is laying down. One is steam and one is water. Don't they both essentially do the same thing? People say MicroSilk tubs make your skin really soft because the oxygen goes inside your pores to flush out toxins. You are just filling your body with water, I guess. Steam showers flush out toxins through sweat. Then you drink water before and after. I guess you get less water absorbed with a steam shower since you are sweating water out. No one has said much about how the steam shower makes their skin feel. Any steam shower people out there? MicroSilk people? Thanks! Peke |
Follow-Up Postings:
We'll be putting in both a steam shower and an air tub, so I'll let you know in a year how they compare. ;) I have been using the whirlpool and steam at the health club for years. Usually both in that order. The whirlpool is nice to relax for a bit, maybe work out a knot with the jets. But the steam seems to work better for me. The heat penetrates your whole body. Work up a sweat pretty quick. And it really seems to work out the deep knots & cramps. A steam room is much hotter. I can sit a long while in a hot tub, but only 5-7 minutes in a steam. Maybe part of it is it's an enveloping heat. You're literally breathing it in. After the tub I feel relaxed, but after a steam I feel like I've melted. A steam room is more efficient with resources. I'm told a steam shower only needs very little water, like just a gallon, to make a room full of steam. A bath tub takes what, 75-100 gal to fill? |
I think it is personal preference. Our tub is a combo, whirlpool for muscle relaxation and Microsilk for skin benefits. Our two person tub uses 66-86 gal but that doesn't take the volume of a person into consideration. Our tub is being installed today so unfortunately I don't have first hand experience yet to share. |

One dead, 19 hurt in bus crash
Comment on this storyKrugersdorp -
One woman died and 19 other people, including 18 schoolchildren, were injured when a school bus crashed into a house in Krugersdorp on Saturday, Gauteng paramedics said.
Netcare 911 spokeswoman Santi Steinmann said the driver lost control of the vehicle.
"One female has lost her life in the accident and another person was critically injured and flown to a nearby hospital," she said.
"The remainder of the injured sustained minor to serious injuries and were transported by ambulance to nearby hospitals for the medical treatment that they required."
Steinmann said fire-fighters were using the Jaws-of-Life to free the injured bus driver. - Sapa

The Tam High football team's triple-option, as its name implies, is a three-pronged attack. Easily the sharpest edge for Tam's offense Saturday was the fake dive and pitch left, which pierced host Redwood time and again.
Eventually, in a pivotal MCAL contest matching longtime south county rivals, the Red-tailed Hawks put a fork in the Giants and they were done by a final count of 15-12.
Tam (3-3, 5-4) overcame a 12-point deficit with two fourth-quarter touchdowns to thrust itself into the postseason picture as the regular season winds down in a week.
The Redwood defense was wary — and for good reason — of tough downhill running back Aseal Birir, who pounded out 195 yards on 24 carries.
One of the biggest plays of the game came midway through the fourth quarter with Redwood nursing a 12-7 lead. The Giants (3-4, 4-6) expected Birir to bust up the middle on a second-and-8 from near midfield.
Instead, Tam quarterback Weston Lazarus faked to Birir and pitched left to Marcus Viscardi who got the edge and sped 20 yards to the Redwood 35. Three plays later, Birir powered up the gut for six yards and the winning touchdown.
"We knew they'd probably bite on the dive," Birir said. "When Weston faked to me up the middle I had like five guys on me and he pitched to Marcus who uses his speed to just get out there and go."
Viscardi piled up 70 of his 91 yards in the game on the option-pitch play.
Even though Tam was held scoreless for the first three quarters, there were early indications it might be a good day for the offense.
The first time they touched the ball, the Red-tailed Hawks sliced and diced Redwood's defense for a 10-play, 55-yard time-eating drive to the Giants' nine. But a 15-yard personal-foul penalty stalled the momentum and the drive ended on an incomplete fourth-down pass.
"We played so sloppy in the first half — personal fouls, turnovers and more penalties — a game of ugly," Tam coach Jon Black said. "I told them at halftime we could be playing better. But we stayed close enough to give ourselves a shot in the second half."
The Tam defense made sure of that by limiting the Giants to 135 yards of offense for the game and only 55 on the ground.
Redwood fashioned its best drive of the day late in the first quarter, marching 70 yards on 10 plays. The key play was an Aaron Dorfler 39-yard pass to Jack Cathcart. Dorfler took touchdown honors on a one-yard sneak.
With three minutes remaining in the half, Redwood cushioned to its lead after cashing in on a muffed fair catch punt recovered by Raffi Ramteen. On first down, Dorfler flipped a pass to Khari Haynes, who broke two tackles and squirted 18 yards into the end zone.
"I thought we played good enough on defense to beat anybody today," Redwood coach Corky Henderson said. "We thought we made the right adjustments at halftime, but obviously they made adjustments better than we did. They played great."
Tam owned the fourth quarter and finally scored five plays into the final stanza when, not surprisingly, Viscardi took a pitch left after a fake dive to Birir and strolled into the end zone from two yards out.
'We're a pretty small team and Redwood is huge," Birir said. "For us to win the fourth quarter was big. We worked hard on finishing today. We kept talking about finishing in the huddle."

Does anyone know if Kohls (issued by Chase) give automatic CLI or do I have to apply call and risk an inquiry? I don't want an inquiry on my report so I am hoping they give them automatically. I always use my card and pay in full in each month. I am now a MVC (Most Valued Customer) with them. I had a CC with Chase and they closed it and would not do a recon, (I think they closed it because a new collection account was added to my report which I disputed and it was removed). I then got the Kohl's card in February and now Chase keeps sending me preapproval for their credit cards.
What do you think my chances are of getting a CLI?
They did my CLI automatically, I think from 1400 to 2000. I can't remember how long I had the card before that happened. Probably a year. It was definitely after I had reached the MVC level of shopping with them.
Thank you. I hope they do mine automatically too. I am already at MVC level.

I have a partial mash imperial stout that started out at 1.090. BeerSmith estimated the final gravity at 1.023, but it's sitting at 1.030 at nearly 4 weeks in primary. The yeast was WLP013, so a very flocculant yeast. Made a nice 1L starter for the 2.5 gallon batch, with very freshly packaged yeast. I'm guessing this is too high to bottle. The yeast cake is so compact there's no way to get it roused with just swirling - believe me, I tried. I'm thinking I should get a sanitized stirrer in there and stir it up manually. Thoughts? Is it actually likely to be at final gravity?
Often, extract brews will end up higher than you might expect. If it stays steady at 1.030 for a few days, then you should be good to go.
Thanks. Would rousing the yeast do any harm?
According to Beer Smith that yeasts minimum attenuation is 67%, meaning as a minimum it will take your OG down to what you are getting now. It may be done, but check your temperatures. It likes 66-71 degrees. What temperature have you had it at?
It fermented at 66 for a week or so, then sat at about 68-70 for about 3 weeks. Just roused it and moved it to a warmer room (70 or so), I'll take a reading in a couple days.
You may be able to get it down a few more points, but an imperial stout, with the amount of specialty grains involved, will tend to finish a little higher. It looks like you've got plenty of IBUs and roasted barley in there to potentially balance out the sweetness, so I wouldn't be surprised if it tastes pretty good as is. Did you taste your gravity sample? Give it a little time in the bottle to age, and you'll probably be good to go!
It actually tastes great already, like chocolate and woodsmoke mixed with booze. Exactly what I was going for, though I hope the booze mellows out. More worried about exploding bottles than anything, and now I'm worried about over-oaking if I have to leave it on the chips too much longer before bottling it. Used 1 oz of toasted American oak for the 2.5 gallon batch, intended a week but looking more like 1.5. I'd love to have a couple bottles of it tasting a little more mellow by Christmas to enjoy with family, but not sure if it'll be there yet. This is my first high-gravity beer.
Nothing wrong with that at all. your brew may be sweeter than you expected but that wont have a huge effect. No harm in trying to re stimulate your beer. like its been said bring it up a few degrees too. no harm in that. No change in 3 days id say rack it to the secondary.
Brew long and Prosper... May the wort be with you... Yippeekayay master brewers... You had me at free beer.
Thanks. Not doing a secondary with this brew, just 4 weeks primary and straight to bottle. Sounds like a plan, I'll check the gravity in a couple days. If it's lower than 1.030, I'll wait 3 more, check it, then bottle if stable. 2 weeks on oak chips probably won't be a huge deal. Next time I'll wait for stable FG before throwing the oak in.

Well it took forever for the used water to go down and well if I wanted to take a bath I would have taken a bath but I want to take showers you know!!!

But I cant break the clog. What should I do?? I dont want to call the plumber or the landlord evn though this isnt my fault but dammmm come on!!! Suggestions anyone??

My husbad has this great tool from Sears, it bends and has a plucker thingy on the end...you could take the drain cover off and see if you just have hair and junk in the drain. I always ask for the nose picker thing to use down the drain after bathing the dog..it works good and you use a plunger thing with your thumb to open and close the end. I am sorry I don't know the real name....its a picker thing. You could try something like that... Karen L |
thanks KAren..thats called a snake. Actually my girlfriend's fther came over with this high pressure hose he stuk in the drain and it cleared the whole thing. So we're back to normal im so happy!!! Thanks for your inpuT!! Tony |
FYI--Just in case someone else has this problem and the snake won't work. We fought our tub for a few years with snakes and drain cleaners. We decided to remodel and found that the iron drain had rusted through-the water was draining under the house. We had to bust up part of the slab to make the necessary repairs. |

And sometimes it's not the drain that gets clogged, it's the vent pipe going to the roof. That requires running the snake down through the vent pipe. |

So, I cut down the tree and started turning the soil. Yikes!!! There were cockroaches, little silver armored critters (they ball or roll up to protect themselves. Their outer shell reminds me of a armadillo shell.) And other ground crawlers. It looked like a whole nest of them. Something like out of a movie. They were everywhere! So, I put down the Crawling Insect Killer with Diatomaceous Earth. I put down on top of it Palm fertilizer. Hope this does the trick. |

A lack of water might be doing it. How dry is it 6 inches down? |
Actually with cockroaches and the water bugs (the little armadillo-like guys), sounds like too much water with rot going on. Do you have an irrigation system? Is it leaking? |
- Posted by TracyPaleo Arizona (My Page) on Sat, Sep 29, 12 at 7:04
The leaking of the irrigation system might sound correct. The tree I cut down sprouted out on it's own without a water irrigation and it's roots are tangled around the main irrigation system. I will have to do some more digging around the roots of what is left of the tree. I will also take a look at the soil 6 inches down. when I was digging up the soil around the tree the soil was moist but not muddy wet. If it's rot I might not be able to safe the palms? :( |

Summary: NEW YORK TIMESBESTSELLER
''A daring and remarkable novel.''-Michiko Kakutani,The New York Times
Pak Jun Do is the haunted son of a lost mother-a singer ''stolen'' to Pyongyang-and an influential father who runs a work camp for orphans. Superiors in the state soon recognize the boy's loyalty and keen instincts. Considering himself ''a humble citizen of the greatest nation in the world,'' Jun Do rises in the ranks. H ...show moree becomes a professional kidnapper who must navigate the shifting rules, arbitrary violence, and baffling demands of his Korean overlords in order to stay alive.

In this epic, critically acclaimed tour de force, Adam Johnson provides a riveting portrait of a world rife with hunger, corruption, and casual cruelty but also camaraderie, stolen moments of beauty, and love.

I have older roses (shrubs) I think which bloom very little or not at all. This has happened past few years; I think I probably pruned them incorrectly but they were neglected for a few years before and the canes were crossing each other. I am almost tempted to dig them up but hope people have suggestions that are do-able by a novice gardener. Thanks in advance. I am in the Chicago area and the weather has been hot with very little rain so I am not sure what can be done. |

Have the trees grown up to make too much shade around them? |
- Posted by gardengal48 PNW zone 8 (My Page) on Wed, Jul 18, 12 at 14:54
Some roses, typically older varieties, are single bloomers, producing a flush of blooms just once a season. Without knowing exactly what type of roses you have, that's a possibility. Otherwise, it is virtually impossible to damage a rose by pruning :-) you can chop them down almost to the ground and they will respond well. Of course pruning at the wrong time could also limit flowering or remove buds. Late winter/early spring is the recommended time in most parts of north America. Roses tend to be heavy nutrient users and appreciate fertilizing on a routine basis. And they like plenty of water. Sun, ferts, water and decent soil and they should be good to go. |

"Tulane Study Says SEC Estimate of Cost of Conflict Mineral Rules is 100x Too Low" — headline at Business Law Prof (via Prof. Bainbridge), describing a new calculation that the implementation of the complication Dodd-Frank provision will in fact cost American business upwards of $7 billion, not the $70 million the Securities and Exchange Commission optimistically foresaw. (Typo fixed now.) Earlier here, here ("devastating" effect on Congolese).

I think you mean $ 70 million not billion.
- 2 11.01.11 at 11:33 am
That should read "$70 million".
- 3 11.01.11 at 12:02 pm
I think that should say the estimate was $70 MILLION not billion.
- 4 11.01.11 at 12:31 pm
Walter: You've got a 'billion' where '$70 million' should be in your last sentence.
- 5 11.01.11 at 12:39 pm
Rather important typo: "not the $70 billion" should be "not the $70 million."
- 6 11.01.11 at 12:48 pm
This should be $70 million, not billion, right?
- 7 11.01.11 at 1:27 pm
Walter, I think you meant to say that the optimistic assessment was $70 Million, not Billion. It's correct in the article
- 8 11.01.11 at 1:31 pm
CORRECTION: original cost estimates were $70 million – not the $70 billion in the post.
- 9 11.01.11 at 1:31 pm
The optimistic forecast was $70 million, not billion (1/100 of $7B)
- 10 11.01.11 at 1:39 pm
….upwards of $7 billion, not the $70 billion the….
Shouldn't that read "$70 million?"
- 11 11.01.11 at 2:01 pm
Thanks everyone for catching the million/billion typo.
- 12 11.02.11 at 6:30 am
That's a lot of money. However, speaking as someone who invests his own — and his family's — money in publicly owned corporations, after decades of dealing with a lot of CEOs with their heads-I-win-tails-you-lose attitude, a law that makes them legally responsible for corporate statements is a great idea. What the h*** am I overpaying them for anyway?
- 13 11.02.11 at 10:41 am
Just wondering why 10 people have to comment on the same typo?
This is like 10 people waiting for an elevator and all pushing the button, as if the first guy didnt push it correctly - 14 11.02.11 at 10:50 am
It's not commenters' fault. Comments are moderated and in this case several hours went by before they could get reviewed, during which time the queued comments were not visible.
- 15 11.02.11 at 12:42 pm
I spotted a typo in the article!
It should be $seventy BILLIONS where you say $seventy MILLIONS instead!
thanks glad to help you!!

bc q&a
Posted by Paula Pou on August 29, 2014 03:58 PM
Every August, thousands of Elvis Presley fans descend upon Graceland to pay their respects to the King. Elvis Week, as the annual event has become known, is a celebration of the rock and roll icon's life, and consists of concerts, movie screenings and candle vigils. This year's event marked the 38th anniversary of Presley's death, and while it wasn't a landmark anniversary, change was in the air.
And there's good reason: Graceland is under new management. It's not news that the Presley family no longer has majority control over Elvis's intellectual property or management of Graceland itself—Lisa Marie sold that in 2005. But, in late 2013, National Entertainment Collectibles Association founder Joel Weinshanker acquired the rights to operate Graceland and its related properties in partnership with the Presley family and Authentic Brands Group (ABG). As part of that same transaction, ABG bought the Elvis intellectual property and oversees licensing and merchandising for the brand.
The duo of brand managers have helped revive the King's brand for a new generation of fans, including the introduction of an iPad tour narrated by John Stamos, a 450-room hotel that will open next fall, and a deal with Pulse Evolution to bring The King back to life with holographic performances for live shows, films and ads.
On the heels of this year's Elvis Week, brandchannel chatted with Weinshanker, managing partner of Graceland, and ABG's President and CMO Nick Woodhouse to find out what else the future holds for Elvis.Continue reading...

Three of the 20th century's biggest icons all now share one manager. Authentic Brands Group, which already had Marilyn Monroe and Muhammad Ali in its stable, has bought the intellectual property of Elvis Presley, giving it a pop-culture trifecta of sorts.
Whether it will reap a huge profit from the addition of The King of Rock 'n' Roll remains to be seen. ABG not only bought the properties from CORE Media Group, but also is now a partner with National Entertainment Collectibles Association founder Joel Weinshanker and the Presley family to run Graceland, Elvis's famed home, the Associated Press reports. The home itself and its furnishings are solely possessed by Elvis's daughter, Lisa Marie Presley.
"We look forward to working with the ABG team to further promote the legacy of Elvis," Elvis's ex-wife, Priscilla Presley, said in a statement. "This is the opportunity the family has been envisioning to expand the Graceland experience and enhance Elvis' image all over the world."Continue reading...

Guns, sure. But what about knives? Ted Nugent is coming to the rescue of knife owner rights. The controversial rocker has teamed with gunmaker Wilson Combat to release a special edition Nugent-signature model 1911 handgun, sales of which will benefit the Knife Rights. It's just what the doctor ordered… if by doctor, you mean people who own knives and like handguns.
With the recent highly-publicized knife attack on a Texas campus spurring both jokes and serious talk about "knife control," the Nugent partnership might be perfectly timed.Continue reading...

Has your favorite musician died? Stick around long enough and he or she will surely make an appearance again via hologram. At the rate things are going, and for the right "appearance" fee of course, you may eventually invite your own hologram Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Famer to perform at your wedding or other private event.
The "virtual performance" business kicked off in April when Dr. Dre debuted a hologram of Tupac Shakur on-stage at Coachella. As Entertainment Weekly notes, that was followed by plans to resurrect Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes for live shows and the re-creation of Elvis for a concert series.
It also got the Jackson family talking about whether they should bring Michael back on the road — after all, he's already on the comeback trail with Pepsi this summer as part of its (ironically) "Live For Now" marketing campaign.Continue reading...

The King may have left the building, but he has not left the branding. Elvis Presley would have turned 77 on Jan. 8 if he could have found a way to survive the massive amounts of lethal drugs and sandwiches he ingested in the years leading up to his death on Aug. 16, 1977 (unless, of course, he really is that guy spotted at the Hare Krishna ranch in Roswell, New Mexico, back in 2008).
Assuming it's not, this year marks the 35th anniversary of when the King of Rock was found to be unresponsive on his bathroom floor. The world mourned his death then, but it's ready (at least, his estate is ready) to party now.
Graceland will kick off a yearlong celebration on Thursday that will feature a slew of special events, including tribute concerts, according to release from Elvis Presley Enterprises. An annual birthday shindig for Elvis kicks off Thursday and runs through Sunday. That will be followed up by, you guessed it, an Elvis cruise from Jacksonville, Florida, to Nassau, the Bahamas. It's not Hawaii, but one can bet a few rounds of "Blue Hawaii" will be heard along the way.Continue reading...

In a side-step from his role as creative director and window-dressing savant of Barneys New York (when he's not moonlighting as a writer), Doonan's costumes for Target pay homage to Vegas-era Elvis, Paris Hilton (with a companion paparazzi) and other icons he details here.

This week's dramatic rescue of the 33 Chilean miners is the feel-good mine disaster story of the year. Everyone wants a piece of it, from the miners themselves, who are in some kind of collective agreement, to USA patriots who called the disaster an example of "American greatness."
Brands were also all too eager to let some of those positive miner vibes rub off. Oakley sunglasses received enormous exposure during the rescue, which was engineered with a Panansonic Toughbook. One media outlet estimated Oakley's exposure was worth $41 million.
The post-rescue brandstravaganza has begun. Apple CEO Steve Jobs is sending los 33 a shipment of free iPods. (That the device depends on the copper the miners became trapped trying to extract was lost on nobody everybody.) The group's Elvis aficionado is getting a VIP trip to Graceland. Other brand-donated freebies include soccer shirts, free sushi and "Japanese space underwear."Continue reading...

We know it has been a long time coming but we finally managed to get our hands on some insider info into the HBO series Game of Thrones. The second season has been just as intense and enthralling as the first and with the production for the third season renewed just two days after the second series aired, we hope to see a lot more of Westeros soon!
Hungry Enough To Take On The Avengers?
You may think we are a little behind the curve with posting our views on the new Avengers Assemble movie. That, my friends, is where you are wrong. We don't want to be just like everyone else. We want a new angle, something fresh, something different and something utterly delicious. If you are starting to wonder where we are going with this, do not fret! And after exerting all our man power with many hours of scouring we found the perfect piece.
Marmalade sandwich anyone?
I am destined to never grow up and quite frankly I refuse to see why I can't stay immature for my entire life. I loved every single aspect of my childhood but the most memorable things for me were TV shows. Saturday mornings you would find me virtually attached to the TV for cartoon after cartoon. And another thing you should know is that I have a penchant for all things a little kitsch and retro. So if you combine these two elements you will understand why it is not possible for me to contain my excitement, especially after hearing this news.
How did I get a job with that reel?
We always like to showcase our wonderful 'Escapees' work. Adam Dewhirst is no exception. However, what I thought we would do is take a look back to Adam's early work to where he is today... It's an interesting journey…!
Escapees Day Out with Framestore, Part 2
Moving on from the presentation by Kevin Jenkins we turned our attention to Ben Morris who gave us the low-down on his role as a VFX Supervisor. As we watched the end sequence of War Horse, which is the part where we discover the fate of our hero's horse, we all became a little misty eyed, but were quickly reassured by Ben that no horses were harmed during the making of this film. Needless to say, we were all very impressed with the great VFX work done by the guys at Framestore and how realistic the horse looked. Surely Mr Spielberg wouldn't have it any other way.
Nationwide Tax Break Policy for the CG Industry
I was pretty shocked last week when the Coalition Government reversed its position in their dramatic Budget announcement. The UK government has declared its intention to establish a nationwide games tax break policy, in a manoeuvre that leaves the British sector in shock and jubilation. They stated: "Following consultation on the design, the Government will introduce corporation tax reliefs for the video games, animation and high-end television industries from April 2013, subject to State aid approval," read the official budget report.

A Sad Day for Comics, French Artist Jean Giraud - Moebius - Dies at 73
A very sad day indeed for the comics industry and for all of those like me who grew up within the amazing and imaginative world of Moebius. I have always been an avid comics fan and for me, the two most influential peolple have been Stan Lee (he taught me very important words such as puny proverbiale and imperious rex) and Jean Giraud who I stumbled upon by accident. He introduced me to the world of french comics and it was a revelation. The French are masters of comic art and narrative, and the works of Moebius have inluenced all manner of media including some of the most important science fiction films.
His legacy will no doubt live on - a true inspiration. You can read the full article on the Geek Out Blog.

News Round-Up: Tuesday 3rd Jan 2012
It's been a while since my last News Round-Up... Hopefully, you will all be rested after this holiday season and rearing to go. So, to get you going, I have selected a whole bunch of news items which have been published over the last couple of weeks.
Arthur Christmas: A Must See at Xmas
Arthur Christmas is a must for any child wanting to get into the Christmas spirit this year. I know this as both of my children loved it and my test was to see whether or not I actually stay awake!
It's just fun. The CG is not meant to be ground-breaking - it simply is not Tintin - but that really wasn't the point. If you just want to go see a feel good children's movie then there is nothing better. It also has a great cast and some of my personal favourites actors: Hugh Laurie, Jim Broadbent and Bill Nighy (who continually makes me smile whatever he appears in or talks over).
Aardman have done a great job and they should be very happy with it, it has their stamp all over it.
Amazing Realistic Paintings of Children's Drawings
An old colleague of mine (thanks Miles!) recently posted this link on his Google+ profile and I was instantly mesmerised. Illustrator Dave DeVries has had the amazing idea of taking children's drawings and representing them as 'realistic' paintings in a project called "The Monster Engine". The results are absolutely amazing. The artist describes his initiative as "a book, a demonstration, lecture and a gallery exhibition. The premise for all three came from one single question: What would a child's drawing look like if it were painted realistically?"

"If I die tomorrow, always remember what I told you."
This was the most memorable thing Michael Jackson told her, his daughter Paris says in an interview with Ellen DeGeneres airing Thursday on "Ellen."
"I took his advice, and I remembered everything he told me," Paris adds.
Michael Jackson died at the age of 50 in 2009.
Paris, 13, will star in an upcoming live action-animated film called "Lundon's Bridge and the Three Keys," based on the young adult fantasy book series by Dennis H. Christen.
According to her publicist, Paris wanted to do the film because half of its and the book's profits will support schools, and because of its environmental message, a cause Michael Jackson espoused as well.
In the interview she says Michael Jackson inspired her interest in acting.
"My dad was in the movie 'Moonwalker,' and I knew he could sing really well, but I didn't know he could act," says Paris. "I saw that and I said, Wow, I want to be just like him."
Michael would do improvisation exercises with Paris, she says.
"He would give us little scenarios. He would say, 'O.K., in this scene you're going to cry,' and I'd cry on the spot."
When asked about wearing a mask in public, a practice Michael enforced to protect his children from media attention, Paris says, "I'm like, this is stupid. Why am I wearing a mask? But I kind of realized the older I got, like, he only tried to protect us, and he'd explain that to us, too."
Perhaps surprisingly, given how little surrounding Michael Jackson can be described as "regular," Paris says, "I do have a regular childhood."
She says she loves school, and that when she started at her current school, "They didn't know who I was. I was like, Yes! I have a chance to be normal."

"NO CHOCOLATE CAKE," Gin Blossoms (429)
The bloom has long faded on Gin Blossoms, and it looks like the group will never flower again if its new "No Chocolate Cake" is any indication. The Arizona-founded pop/rock band was lucky enough to score hits in the 1990s with its ordinary-guy sound, and the one thing the act had back then is largely missing now: hooks.
Charging through 11 songs with straight-ahead blandness, Gin Blossoms struggles to gain any traction. Troubles include the muddy, morose and melancholy "Wave Bye Bye," the clumsily executed "Something Real" featuring painful "vulnerable" vocals by Robin Wilson and an "I Don't Want to Lose You Now" that has one foot in country, one in rock -- and both in a sludgy quicksand of malaise.
The best the band can muster is the comfortable, toe-tapping pace of the mid-tempo "Somewhere Tonight," although there's modest appeal when the group attempts to pump up its energy on "I'm Ready," "Go Crybaby" and "Dead or Alive on the 405."
More typical is the colorless jangle of "Miss Disarray" and the cheesy melodrama "If You'll Be Mine," which tosses out lyrical gems like "We won't fall 'cause we can fly/I'll be yours if you'll be mine."
Then there's the distractingly mundane closer "Goin' to California" that truly goes nowhere as Wilson sings, "I may never leave again."
The most inviting aspect of the release is the slice of chocolate cake a model holds behind her back on the cover photo. And for a release titled "No Chocolate Cake," that's almost tragic.
Rating (five possible): 2
"ONE FOOT IN FRONT OF THE OTHER," Hayley Taylor (Hayley Taylor)
Hayley Taylor desperately needs a lyricist.
Although her full-length debut, "One Foot in Front of the Other," feels a bit too carefully produced, the songs are solid in their structure, built on an adult-alternative-friendly foundation of strings, guitars and keyboards. Meanwhile, her voice is strikingly dulcet, sometimes as bold as Fiona Apple's and as clear as Dido's.
It's odd that the former child actress would come undone with the lyrics: Many singer-songwriters only have their lyrics to fall back on, and it's the one major shortcoming here. The 33-year-old Vassar College graduate sounds like a lovesick teen fretting through cliches.
Taylor is paralyzed by the concept of a lasting relationship on "What's Going On," looks back on a busted coupling with "It felt like love ... It felt just like love" ("Felt Like Love") and tosses out a sassy "I just erased your number" on "Pretty in the Dark." Also, she humbly sings "I'm willing to be the one that you put on a pedestal ... The one you want to please" on "No More Wishing" (at least she also offers to reciprocate), and the initial poignancy of "The Orange Tree" withers under lines like "I know happiness will never come/You're so afraid to lose someone."
Then there's "Plans," where Taylor sings about trite dreams such as watching a meteor shower from the Eiffel Tower and adds, "It's not too late."
The polished and sophisticated arrangements demand more than superficiality, and her comely voice is wasted on such lyrics. It's enough to make listeners wonder if the songs were simply manufactured to be placed on soundtracks for teen-skewing TV shows and movies.
The thought alone is enough to create a sick feeling inside. And it's not love.
Rating: 2-1/2
"THE HUNDRED IN THE HANDS," The Hundred in the Hands (Warp)
Eleanore Everdell and Jason Friedman may have a touch still to learn about songwriting and production, but they've perfected their attitude. The Brooklyn twosome behind the Hundred in the Hands frequently radiate cool sophistication on their new, self-titled release -- often with such self-assurance, the quality of their music is almost secondary.
Yet the artfully paced, well-sequenced collection is broadly appealing for its emotional range and stylistic diversity.
"The Hundred in the Hands" offers a few instantly gratifying, debonair dance songs, starting with the politely prodding opener "Young Aren't Young" that establishes an air of dreamy melancholy. Following suit are the contagious "Pigeons" with its inescapable refrain of "Saturday comes, Sunday comes, we go" and a "Killing It" that marries rattling pulses to Everdell's near-spoken, echoing vocals as she sings, "Tell me why, tell me why."
However, there's a difference between chilled and cold, and Everdell and Friedman get it. So to break up the potential monotony of beautifully detached dance songs, they scatter more heat and electricity into the mix. In so doing, they gravitate to a Yeah-Yeah-Yeahs-like rock realm with tracks such as the sprawling "Commotion" and raucous "Gold Blood," both of which are more subtle in their infection, though rewarding all the same.
The two also reconcile mod-pop with experimentalism, meshing accessible vocals into the pounding energy of "Dressed in Dresden," rolling through the retro-as-futurism dichotomy of the propulsive "Last City" ("You saw nothing with your sunglasses on") and closing out the release with an undulating electro-ballad, "The Beach."
Although that finale works, sometimes the Hundred in the Hands loses itself in overly deliberate arrangements, tethered to lumbering bass on "Lovesick (Once Again)" and strolling off course in the spacey "This Day Is Made."
Ironically, the pair may have been guilty of overthinking on their intelligent release -- a transgression that's easy to overlook.

An accident involving a tractor trailer and FedEx truck that created a big backup on Interstate 435 East on Monday morning has been cleared.
Only one lane of I-435 East just past I-35 was open as of 8 a.m., causing traffic to back up onto K-10.
It took some time to clear the wreck as emergency crews said they were dealing with a fuel leak from at least one of the trucks.
It was not known if anyone was injured in the accident.
The accident was cleared by 10 a.m. and traffic was flowing smoothly again.

The FDNY has ruled out repairs carried out under New York City's Rapid Repairs program as the cause of the explosion on Wednesday that sent a Howard Beach woman to a burn center and destroyed the home she shares with her husband.
Theresa Pepitone was taken to the burn center at New York-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center in Manhattan on Wednesday after her house exploded at around 2 p.m.
"The fire remains under investigation by fire marshals," said FDNY spokesman Frank Dwyer in an email. "Rapid Repair has been ruled out as a cause of the fire."
Rapid Repair was instituted by the city to fast-track construction work on houses that were damaged by Hurricane Sandy in October.
Pepitone's house, at 162-39 84 St. was damaged in the hurricane. The Queens Chronicle has reported information from the city Department of Buildings stating that Rapid Repairs was authorized to replace a gas line in the couple's home on May 23.
The Fire Department declined comment when asked what information uncovered in the investigation led fire marshals to exclude the repair work as a possible cause

** I actually posted this on Monday and then in a fit of self consciousness and too many questions about the lines of oversharing and grief I shelved it again. But I'm bringing it back after a bit of editing. I changed a photo at the end to one of Gareth when he looked as he did and not so terribly sick. **
This blog becomes a more minor part of me the less I post, and I post less for a variety of reasons, (I'll be honest, no time, no inclination are big factors, but maybe that'll be more 'explainable' in a minute.) At certain times though, this time in particular I realise it's a record of parts of me. The alternative diary of my life, my technological step up from the leatherbound five year diary I had when I was seven. In it, I include the edited highlights, scant truths, discount the unsaid realities and include the brilliance of the normality of my life. It works for me. When I write.
We've had a shit half year. Eerily similar to the shit half year we had three years ago when my dad died. I don't use the expletives for effect, they just really hit it on the descriptive. It. was/is. shit. Just before christmas we received the news that Gwyn's dad had been diagnosed with oesophagal cancer. Oesophagal cancer, similarly to adrenal gland cancer, (my dad's diagnosis) is aggressive, relentless and brutal. Forget a slow fade.
It's weird, because although it's been in the background, always in the background, we've been reasonably 'up' in spite of it. We've known what was on the cards but everyone made the best of it, life is good, and, not being close enough (we're 150 miles away) it's easy to discount it on a day to day basis. I find it hard to explain. It was this sad heavy weight firmly placed in the background of our experience, but not oppressively so.
In fact, the last time I sort of had it in my head to post was sometime around last weekend when all the stuff was in the paper regarding the current debates on euthanasia. I felt pretty pumped, full of words and vigour and INSIGHT. I canned following through on any deep desire to write about the matter for a number of reasons. 1) It felt entirely inappropriate in the circumstances, here our family were, in the hospice environment, fully subscribed to incredible palliative care, tied to an unfolding reality that someone we loved was dying 2) THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE A CRAFT BLOG isn't it??!
But the more I write in this space the more I realise how different my life was when it started and how actually, despite a number of bits of blog advice - it's actually up to me what I write! I don't actually have to write about crochet all the time! What liberation! I don't feel that bad about writing about real life but I've got huge issues with oversharing. I'm critical of too much sharing on social media, is it attention seeking/ narcissism/ totally normal? But maybe I will feel OK if I just keep the real life stuff brief. I started writing these bits of words before Ruby was born. Then, I hadn't lost anyone in my life of great importance. I had bumps in the road, but no absolute, final loss, something that would play on my mind and render me unable to do very much. A few months into Ruby's life my grandfather died. Yes, it was upsetting, yes, it was absolutely heartbreaking watching him fail at the nursing home that he was eventually transferred to. But he was OLD. OLD. In his seventies. His grandchildren were having children. His life was entirely complete in my youthful eyes. I'm sure he would have taken more years (in good health) but what more can you ask for than seeing your grandchildren have children? And with a newborn, perhaps I didn't have the space to invest in grief in the same way. I cried, I wept, but I got on with it.
Watching dad die before my eyes was gamechanging. This didn't make sense. For a start he was my dad and he was not supposed to die but live forever. But also, 60 was relatively young. He had a lot of plans, he hadn't done enough. He wasn't done. And the way he died? Ugh. It was really awful. It overhung my life alot. I didn't feel like I had as much energy at the end of the day. I lost a bit of spark. Actually, I lost alot of GRIP. What the hell is this all about???! I though the fact I'd studied philosophy would mean I'd at least have some idea. Instead I've got no answers and a big bill. It took a few years to feel like I was over the worst. It took alot of time.
A few months ago, someone my age, FULL of life, exuberant, beautiful, funny and with alot of plans also died, after trying to work out, very specifically, how not to. It threw up everything. I do not feel like I knew her that well, but to know how much she wanted to live really hurt and for weeks I coped badly in the quiet. The parts where I wasn't ferrying to and from, or preparing food, or any of the attendant duties of motherhood, I just didn't really care. Everything sort of fell behind. I couldn't be bothered. Stick a series on the TV and pass me a glass of wine please. I don't understand any of this, and it's all to come still. I'd like to check out from thinking about any of it.
I'm not really doing well with this finite death thing. I'm more along the lines of this.
And then of course Gwyn and I got married on our ten year anniversary. It was all very loaded because we wanted Gwyn's dad to come, but he was poorly, and he got alot poorlier as the weeks went on so we didn't know if it would happen.
But he made it.
This was three weeks ago:
On Saturday 26th July 2014, around 7 months after finding out he wasn't well, Gareth Thomas Walters took his last breath. And now he's gone, just like that. Gwyn's mum was sitting with him after holding vigil at his bedside day and night for almost a week. She needs a medal, or some kind of appreciation of what she's been through by keeping up her vows. That shit is hard. I want to scoop it up and take it all away.
The reason I looked to the blog earlier today was because I'd wanted to remember what Ruby had said about my dad passing. There it was... documented. I'd wanted to check because it was only Saturday when we'd explained to the kids that this grampy had 'left'. Later that day George asked his nana as she was folding clothes from the line a question: Why, 'if grampy left he hadn't brought his pyjama bottoms?' It reminded me of the directions question, but I hadn't been able to lay my hands on the reference.
It's hard to put into words how you feel about someone you love when they die. Maybe you resist it in this kind of space because you don't want to get complicated or that frankly puke inducing phrase: 'emo?'; Really, ultimately, apart from family and friends, I like making crochet. Blankets and stuff, I like to write about them so people I don't know that buzz off making things can find them. I didn't really write about my dad, because our connection and the history that passed between us was too complicated to really explain in words or get to the bottom of with the background of blankets! But I've not been making very much of anything recently because I feel so spent and sad...
However, I'm going to try on this one. This man was the 'grampy' to my two little people and the 'dad' to my now husband. He was absolutely bowled over by his wife and had been since he met her. I've howled at home movies from back in the day that I've seen recently of past family holidays. A huge amount of focus is the good wifes (pretty impressive, Elaine, actually) body. A long standing memory will be of Gareth dancing up on a bar in Hong Kong 7 or 8 years ago to James Brown's 'sex machine' and grabbing the microphone trying to get the crowd to pick out his wife (who was hiding!) and tell her how much he loved her.
Gareth was clever, but not in a way you couldn't understand, he could explain so much very simply. He worked as a flight engineer on planes. He was a real professional - he later worked as an engineer on Apache helicopters. He was a massive family man - he cared deeply for his 'dear old mum' who lived with him until she died. (Incidentally Jean - you're right - I did get in a pickle about diamonds eventually.... wise lady) He LOVED Ian his brother, I was there many times when he answered the phone brighter with an, 'Alright mate?' and spent many a good time in Zambia where Ian lives. He had three nieces he saw as proximal daughters and described unfalteringly as 'good work', in fact, don't get him started on family, Gareth was what I would describe as a 'total wet'. If you're related to him - he tears up over you, believe me. Don't get him started on Elaine's family who he'd adopted entirely.
He was great for a late night chat, a fantastic cook (I didn't know condiments until I met the Walters family) a good storyteller, A TERRIBLE joke teller (So terrible). He loved his two boys Gwyn and Rhys with infinite passion, a super proud dad, always big on hugs for his boys. Let a man cross them when he was there and good luck! This is the man who went around all the tables of the restaurant at Gwyn's 30th celebrations and got everyone a drink and then asked if he might be able to interrupt their evening by saying a few words. He silenced the restaurant by got up and made a bautiful speech.
Last week, on Sunday, he said 'I think I'm dying', he was in the hospice, things were gritty but all the same, it still seemed ridiculous. But it was very true.
Gareth, there are many words others will be able to say about you, but here are mine. I only knew you 10 years out of 65. Which is marginal really - I'll bet good money on the fact that these won't have even scratched the surface and I'll kick myself tomorrow but, I'm good with imperfect (hahahaha - this is not true!) :
Gareth, Don't worry, you've already died. Remember? After your mums wake you tried to pay for dinner for all of us and your card got declined, because instead of cancelling your mums cards they cancelled yours! 'Sorry Mr Walters but we have you noted as deceased.' You're fine... you've got this.
You flew a plane. That has got to be alot of fun, VERY few people have done that.
You had a job you genuinely didn't consider work. The holy grail. I'm losing count of the amount of stories of success where you hear the successful say, 'I can't imagine work feeling like work' - you've said that to me in the last few weeks. I'd like to high five that all over again.
You're the only other person I know that sneezed in the shower with hayfever. (Feel free to share your sneezing experience - I'll still love him!)
No-one believed that you liked Shakira just because she made good music.
You made roses out of napkins!
Bet you wish you didn't buy those knives from that door to door salesman (I know, you've been ripped mercilessly about this by many people but it is very funny)
Let it be noted, for the record, that you did see Jimi Hendrix in concert.
The Elvis impersonation wasn't put out nearly enough.
When you told my dad three years ago you'd look after his girls I was banking on alot longer....but let me tell you, that gave him much comfort, thankyou, and that is one of the few times I've seen him immediately cry.
I don't know why you got a bed bath after they changed the sheets either, but the fact this was a grievance and the way in which you told us last week made me laugh until I cried.
I'm sorry I shaved your moustache and beard off that night after you'd had it thirty five years. I genuinely didn't know you didn't have a top lip!
Following the last chat we had last Sunday - it is ALWAYS lovely chatting to you too.
I adored you, I adore your family and I will miss you SO MUCH.
And, finally, in the above photo, I looked at it and I mourned the fact you've gone, I really I did, and then I thought...how the hell did you end up holding my handbag?! (And then I thought... nice loom ;) )
Like I said on Sunday, I'll see you soon. But I obviously mean where time is relative - and we're talking quite another few decades...I'm not done yet.
