Why Cold Tonnage?"... the dragon Griaule, a vast mile-long beast who had been struck immobile yet not lifeless by a wizard's spell, and who ruled over the Carbonales Valley, controlling in every detail the lives of the inhabitants, making known his will by the ineffable radiations emanating from the cold tonnage of his brain."

The Art of the Cheap Road Trip
I grew up with ultra frugal parents. We went on awesome road trips without stopping at McDonald's or even sleeping in a hotel. Granted, I don't want to sleep in my car nor do I have an enormous 1966 station wagon that sleeps three in the back and one little kid (that was me) across the front bench seat, but some lessons can be learned from those experiences. The first obvious rule to traveling (and living) frugally is to pack your own lunch! This is so hard in our society where every other street corner beckons us with delicious, easy and, might I add, ultra fattening food. No dishes, no planning, no preparing, just a few bucks per person, right?
Instead, go to the grocery store, get a loaf of bread, some lunch meat, cheese, fruit and veggies. You can even throw in a package of cookies or bag of chips. How much did you spend? I guarantee it is a lot less than four or five meals at your favorite fast food joint and we won't even compare it to an actual restaurant. All you need is a cooler, a cutting board, a butter knife, an edged knife and an essential roll of paper towels.
You'll be able to make your own lunches for several days to up to a week. Freeze a bottle of juice or even a 1/2 gallon of milk and add them to the cooler to save room while keeping everything cold. You'll be able to enjoy those frozen drinks in a few days. Plan a little and get your goodies at the grocery store before you head out instead of restocking each time you get gas at the quickie-mart. Don't forget to fill up a few of your earth-friendly reusable water bottles at home to avoid buying bottled water.
Stay at a hotel on the outskirts of a big city. If you're planning on going to San Francisco, stay close to the airport instead of in the heart of the city, then take public transportation to Fisherman's Wharf and save on parking. When I went to New York, I stayed on Long Island and took the train into Manhattan. It takes a little extra time, but like San Francisco you'll save a bunch on parking and you'll see how the regular folks do it.
I highly suggest a tent if you're headed to the Grand Canyon or other National Park. You just can't compare the price of a camp site to a hotel room. If you are planning a last minute trip check out sites like Expedia for awesome deals on hotels especially to popular destinations like Las Vegas. And always try to stay at a hotel with at least a continental breakfast. It may not be healthy, but it will be cheap!
Don't let your road trip turn into a shopping spree. If shopping is what you're after, stay close to home and save on gas and hotel expenses. It's really hard to resist all those silly trinkets in tourist hot spots, but be strong. Your kids may beg and whine, but more cheap toys filling up their rooms are not needed. Five bucks here, five bucks there and before you know it you're at $100. Instead of keepsakes let your kids use the camera. They can go haywire taking pictures and then get creative making their own photo album when they get home. Kids will get much more out of it than another stuffed animal.
Am I making your trip sound less than exciting with all this miserly planning? Not to worry, there are places to splurge! Enjoy sights that are unique to the place you are visiting, like the La Brea Tar Pits in Los Angeles or the Empire State Building in New York. And stop at every strange middle of nowhere attraction. Who can resists the Largest Ball of Twine when driving through Kansas?
And finally, get recommendations from a local resident for a good place to eat. You could be in for a great treat or at the very least a unique experience. Avoid eating dinner at chain restaurants. We all like Olive Garden, but you can eat there in your home town and a local favorite might be more affordable than the chain.
Happy Trails!

ABC News On Campus reporter Xorje Olivares blogs: It took more than 40 years for Ricardo Ainslie to return to his hometown of Mexico City, this time armed with a video camera. Ainslie, an educational psychology professor at the University of Texas at Austin, has spent the past decade analyzing communities in conflict by combining ethnography with psychoanalysis. "I've always been interested in qualitative research," Ainslie said. "After I got tenure (at UT) I started looking at communities with tension." In 1999, Ainslie documented the racial and social disparities in a small West Texas town stemming from an argument about whether dancing should be allowed. He then traveled to Jasper, Texas to see how the community was coping with the brutal murder of an African-American man at the hands of white supremacists. But it wasn't until 2004 that Ainslie returned to Mexico City to work on his next project, "Looking North," a film that dealt with the influx of immigration. "People in America don't know that 1 in 9 Mexicans has come to the United States," Ainslie said. "People don't want to leave Mexico, but the circumstances have forced them to come north." Some of those circumstances include the war on drugs that is ravaging through several parts of Mexico resulting in countless murders and kidnappings, many stemming from the battle between rival cartels. While in Mexico City, Ainslie began to notice these drastic changes and eventually used them as the basis for a new documentary entitled "Ya Basta! (Enough!) Kidnapped in Mexico." In the 2007 film, Ainslie focuses on the violence and wave of kidnappings that he believes started about 1994. But it has only been recently that the numbers have skyrocketed, causing many to take notice. According to the Mexican newspaper El Universal, 5,612 people were executed last year, double the number in 2007. Last year, more than 1,607 of these came from Ciudad Juarez alone. Ainslie also believes that more than 750 kidnappings occur each year, with nearly all of them going unsolved. He said only about one in 10 cases are even actually reported. Allegations of police corruption are nothing new in Mexico, but drug rings have cost many officers their lives. "They're either being killed off because they're a part of it, or because they don't want to be," Ainslie said. "Either way, you're screwed." Ainslie recently decided to spend a weekend in Ciudad Juarez, the Mexican city that borders El Paso, Texas. As he began to recount his trip and show the photos he took, the realities of war set in. Pictures of bullet-riddled vehicles and bodies lying in pools of blood frequented the screen of his laptop. During his stay, 38 more were killed. "In Mexico, you're very aware that you're in the middle of a war," Ainslie said. Until recently, not much news about the drug violence was reported in the United States. But with violence escalating along the border, many are fearful that it will eventually spill over into U.S. territory. Ainslie, however, believes that the products in question, not the violence itself, are what we should be concerned about. "What are you talking about? It's already here," Ainslie said, regarding the presence of the drug situation in the U.S. "There's a whole distribution network that already exists. The fear is, are (the cartels) going to be killing each other here as they are there?"

"Servants of God do not wait for opportunity to proclaim the gospel of Jesus. They seek for it.""Freedom is a wrong standard.""The kingdom of God is not only about what I don't do anymore but it is also about what I am now doing." Independency from men and dependency on Jesus by the power of the Holy Spirit is the great lesson to learn. He works in us and He shall always will.
Beware of networking with ministries without ministry. They are like the revolution per minute display of a car engine"Revival is only for the dead. Every dead church has a dead pulpit. Before a church revival is a pulpit revival"
Love one another, the favorite sermon.
The preacher says "you owe me".
Ex 20:4-6
4 "You shall not make for yourself a carved image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; 5 you shall not bow down to them nor serve them. For I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate (love less) Me, 6 but showing mercyto thousands, to those who love Me and keep My commandments. NKJV
What is God that He only allows the pure in hearts to see Him? How pure is pure to God?
Pure is defined as the state of being unmixed with any other matter. It is clean in the sense that it is free from any other thing. It is by itself. If I squeeze fresh orange juice into an empty glass and drink it, then I just drank a glass of pure orange juice. Adding even a drop of water with it, though it is pure and clean, makes the orange juice impure. So, it is not about what is added with it but that its state changed and is no longer by itself.
A struggle to hold on to pure motives is increasingly inevitable in these last days. The world has so much to offer for self-pleasing. Is there anything wrong to do one godly thing and accomplish two things? As Pastors and Christian missionaries we ought to be very careful about how we label our travel and the motives behind it. Let us not stick a mission label onto every travel we make even though it is meant for something else. In my 25+ years of service in the Lord Jesus, part of my ministry is to travel to mission points. You do not have to be the visionary to travel to missions. You can travel as a support to the visionary. I am a visionary missionary. I must say that the places I would go to are Gods choices for me. The going is not the difficult part, for all it takes is an invitation, a round trip ticket, and enough money for the duration. The hard part is how to know the place to go to, when and whether I should go. This requires a lot of prayers and discernment.
Every servant of God is different, but I happen to be the one who goes when I know it is God who says go and the places I go to He chooses for me. He gives me the instructions and directions to go.
Mission trips should be motivated at the call of God and the need of the people at the mission site. The people at the mission site must have the need of us to come. Missionaries do not need to travel if the need is not there. Missions should be done at the command and direction of God. It should not be combined with personal motives. Although many have tried to go to missions with mixed motives, they all returned with frustrations, negative consequences many regretted the trip.
Missions are not mens inventions or ideas. It is God who pioneered it by sending His only Son Jesus our Lord, Savior, and He is God and the mission commander.
Jesus said in Matt 5:8 Blessed are the pure in heart, For they shall see God. When it is for God it must be purely Gods or God will not set His approval on it for God is a jealous God.
This study will help us distinguish between human jealousy and divine jealousy and the things that provoke God to jealousy. It also touches the evidence of having the power of the Holy Spirit that leads a Christian to experience the jealousy of God for humanity.
If you are a dedicated ministry leader or a serious follower of Jesus and desiring to experience the great manifestation of Gods deliverance from your present situation to His promise land of provision and peace, this course lesson can help you understand that only pure motives of men are honored by God.

By MICHAEL FALCONE (@michaelpfalcone) and AMY WALTER (@amyewalter)
Is it over already?
The white-hot "war on women," which boiled over this week — and particularly within the last 48 hours — may have reached the point of ceasefire. At least for now.
Of course, the tug-of-war between Democrats and Republicans for the support of women voters in the 2012 election cycle is just beginning, but if we've learned anything from this week, it's that in the micro-tuned new cycle of the Twitter era, nothing lasts for very long.
In Slate today, Dave Weigel writes a requiem for the war that was, tracing its life from birth to death.
"A moment of silence, please, for a talking point that was taken too soon," Weigel begins. "The 'war on women' began its life in a February 2011 House speech about abortion. After a short life as a Democratic hobby horse, it died during the second week of April 2012. The cause of death: Rosengate, the latest and least explicable battle in the Umbrage Wars." http://slate.me/J1gQ5J
The comments from Democratic strategist Hillary Rosen that spiraled out of control seem like a million news cycles ago, but it was only Wednesday night when the avalanche of tweets, statements, responses, apologies, conference calls, cable news hits started.
We also learned that both the Obama and Romney campaigns are ready to put the "rapid" in rapid response this year. Team Romney instantly capitalized on Rosen's choice of words, launching @AnnDRomney into the Twitterspehere to rebut her accuser.
As ABC's John Berman noted on "Good Morning America" today, the Romney campaign "jumped on this with military precision." By Thursday afternoon, the campaign was already printing bumper stickers with the slogan, "Moms Drive The Economy."
But just as quickly, everyone from President Obama and First Lady Michele Obama to White House Press Secretary Jay Carney and Obama campaign manager Jim Messina were distancing themselves from Rosen, as fast as they could.
The president, in an interview with ABC's Cedar Rapids affiliate, said yesterday, "there's no tougher job than being a mom" and "anybody who would argue otherwise, I think, probably needs to rethink their statement."
And, although ABC News Political Analyst Matthew Dowd pointed out this morning, the Rosen chapter to the "war on women" may be over, there's much more to come. With middle class moms with children poised to be a major swing voter group, there are many more chapters to be written.
EXCLUSIVE: DIANE SAWYER AND THE ROMNEYS. On Monday, April 16 the presumptive Republican nominee for President, Mitt Romney, will speak to "ABC World News" anchor Diane Sawyer in an exclusive interview. In an election year with so much on the line, Sawyer's wide-ranging interview will cover the topics that matter most to voters including the economy, health care, and taxes among other campaign issues. In addition, Ann Romney will join her husband for a special conversation with Sawyer. This marks the couple's first joint network interview of the election year.
The exclusive network interview will take place at Fenway Park and will air Monday on "World News with Diane Sawyer" with the extended interview airing on "Nightline." Portions of the interview will also be featured across ABC News broadcasts and platforms including "Good Morning America," ABCNews.com, the Newsmakers series on Yahoo!, OTUSNews.com and ABC News radio.
HEY, MR. TAXMAN. The Obama campaign will today post online the 2011 tax returns for the Obamas and Bidens — as well as those dating back to 2000 — an Obama campaign official tells ABC News' Devin Dwyer. The release comes as the president heads to Tampa, Fla., this morning to talk about international trade issues. It will also offer Democrats another chance to intensify pressure on Mitt Romney to release more than the two years of returns he has disclosed, and highlight Romney's lower effective tax rate than the Obamas and most middle-income earners.
ROMNEY ON NORTH KOREA: "I condemn in the strongest possible terms the attempted North Korean missile launch," Romney said in a statement last night. "Its weapons program poses a clear and growing threat to the United States, one for which President Obama has no effective response. Instead of approaching Pyongyang from a position of strength, President Obama sought to appease the regime with a food-aid deal that proved to be as naïve as it was short-lived. At the same time, he has cut critical U.S. missile defense programs and continues to underfund them. This incompetence from the Obama Administration has emboldened the North Korean regime and undermined the security of the United States and our allies."
THIS WEEK ON "THIS WEEK": TREASURY SECRETARY TIM GEITHNER. ABC's George Stephanopoulos welcomes Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner to weigh in on the state of the American economy just seven months before voters get to decide whether to re-elect President Obama. The "This Week" roundtable weighs in on all the week's politics, with former Obama domestic policy adviser Melody Barnes, Republican political analyst and president of The American Cause Bay Buchanan, Wall Street Journal editorial page editor Paul Gigot, editor and publisher of The Nation Katrina vanden Heuvel, and The New York Times chief Washington correspondent David Sanger. http://abcnews.go.com/ThisWeek/
HANGOUT WITH JAKE TAPPER AND MATT DOWD. Today we will host our first Google + Hangout with ABC News' senior White House correspondent +Jake Tapper and ABC News political analyst +Matthew Dowd for a discussion of election-season politics at 11:30 am. Hang out here: https://plus.google.com/106595064637006853945/posts
ROMNEY AIMS FOR GUN-OWNING SKEPTICS. "In his hunt for voters, Mitt Romney has talked about gunning for everything from 'small varmints' to elk," Bloomberg News' John McCormick notes. "It hasn't eased nervousness among some firearms owners about the former Massachusetts governor's fidelity to their issue. The presumptive Republican presidential nominee will confront those skeptics as he speaks today to the National Rifle Association in St. Louis. It's a constituency Romney must win over as he tries to consolidate his party's support before the November general election. … The NRA has approximately 4 million members, according to Stephanie Samford, a spokeswoman. Many are located in such general election swing states as Florida and Ohio. … Romney, 65, also backed a ban on certain assault weapons in a 1994 federal anti-crime bill. As governor, he signed legislation that raised gun license fees from $25 to $100 to help close a state budget deficit, while also extending license durations to mitigate the increased cost, according to a Boston Globe report. … Romney's primary opponents said he'd already moved on the Second Amendment issues and that's why voters should be leery of counting on his loyalty." http://bloom.bg/HPVGHi
NOTED: From a press release: "St. Louis area sportsmen will hold a press conference outside America's Center at 10:30 am on Friday, April 13th before Mitt Romney takes the stage at the annual NRA convention. While Mitt Romney may call himself a "lifelong hunter," and NRA member, Romney isn't shooting straight when it comes to his record on guns. Before he started running for President, Romney was an ardent supporter of strict gun control measures and made it clear that he didn't 'line up with the NRA.' Mitt Romney has repeatedly proven that he will say anything to get elected, and his speech before the NRA convention will be no different."
SANTORUM-ROMNEY MEETING IN THE WORKS? Although Mitt Romney and Rick Santorum have back-to-back speaking appearances on the same stage, our sources tells ABC News that there are no plans for a meeting between the candidate and former candidate. At the most, they might bump into each other, but there will be no meeting to discuss a possible endorsement or anything else. "Not gonna happen," a source close to Santorum said. Next week could be a more likely time for a get-together between Romney and Santorum, however it's also possible the meeting could be put off until after the Pennsylvania primary
ROMNEY SETS $600 MILLION FUNDRAISING GOAL. "Aides and leading donors to Mitt Romney are preparing a major expansion of the campaign's fund-raising efforts to prepare for a general election contest against President Obama, with the goal of raising up to $600 million, according to several people involved in the discussions," reports The New York Times' Nicholas Confessore. "Republican-leaning outside groups and Democratic-leaning unions are planning to spend hundreds of millions more. And Mr. Obama, who raised $750 million in 2008, is likely to meet or exceed that this year, according to people involved in his fund-raising operation. Those goals make it virtually certain that neither party's nominee will accept public funds for the general election or the spending limits that come with them — the likely death knell for a cornerstone of the post-Watergate campaign finance reforms intended to limit the influence of money in federal elections. Mr. Obama opted out of the public financing program in 2008, breaking a campaign pledge, and went on to outspend the Republican nominee, John McCain, by four to one." http://nyti.ms/IOfPRN
SANTORUM 2016? Rick Santorum was on Fox News' "On The Record" with Greta Van Susteren last night for his first television interview since he left the race. ABC News' Shushannah Walshe notes that Greta brought up the fact that the 53 year old former Pennsylvania senator will still be young in 2016. "Well yeah I feel like a young man and hopefully I feel like a young man four years from now. Last year put a couple years on me but I feel pretty good, I do and I feel like, more importantly, there are a lot of issues out there that I care very deeply about that I think we introduced into the debate and I think the values that I talked about throughout the course of this campaign are ones that resonate," he said. Santorum again said money was tight at the end of the campaign. "One was money," Santorum said in the interview. "After Wisconsin it was very, very difficult to raise money but one of the reasons for that was the media narrative that the race is over."
–MOVE ON LAUNCHES ANTI-ROMNEY 'BIRDDOGGING' EFFORT. "MoveOn.org is out with a new online ad campaign to hold Mitt Romney accountable for his role in the Republican War on Women. The ads will start running tomorrow in St. Louis, where Romney is scheduled to campaign. MoveOn will continue to run similar ads throughout Romney's campaign stops in swing states as part of what they're calling an 'innovative new online birddogging effort.' The ads accuse Romney of having a "serious women problem," highlight his desire to "get rid" of funding for Planned Parenthood, and ask "Mitt Romney, what do you have against women?" The ads end with: "Hey Mitt: stop your Republican War on Women." WATCH: http://bit.ly/J01QVJ and http://bit.ly/HEbQYw

He's been estranged from his wife Dina for awhile now, and it seems Clint Eastwood has found new love with a new lady.
The "Dirty Harry" hunk is dating Erica Tomlinson-Fisher who just so happens to be the ex-wife of Scott Fisher, aka Dina's boyfriend.
After nearly two decades together, Clint Eastwood and his wife Dina have decided to officially call it quits on their romance.
The former "Mrs. Eastwood & Company" star confirmed the news to Us Weekly, also dishing that the two have lived separately for quite some time but do remain friends.
The Eastwood household will be buzzing this winter, as Alison Eastwood has shared that she's accepted a marriage proposal from Stacy Poitras.
The "Chainsaw Gang" gal couldn't be happier to announce the news, and Poitras explained that it all began with a conversation with Alison's father Clint Eastwood.
Kicking off the debut screening of their baseball-themed picture, the stars of "Trouble with the Curve" gathered for the Los Angeles premiere on Wednesday evening (September 19).
He's been in the news as of late thanks to his unusual speech at the Republican National Convention, and Clint Eastwood set the record straight on the " Ellen DeGeneres Show."
The "Dirty Harry" hunk had a great sense of humor about his 'empty chair' speech, which received mixed reviews from both sides of the political aisle.
With his new movie "Trouble With The Curve" set to hit theaters on September 21st, Clint Eastwood found himself covering the October 2012 issue of Esquire magazine.
He made quite an impression at last week's Republican National Convention, and Clint Eastwood is still standing by the speech he delivered.
Though he admitted his remarks were "very unorthodox," the "Dirty Harry" hunk maintained that he made his point very clearly.
After surprise guest Clint Eastwood's 12-minute speech at the Republican National Convention, President Barack Obama remains a fan of the star.
At the RNC this past week, the "Dirty Harry" star heavily criticized the president to an empty chair, signifying an "invisible" and absentee president.

Words With Friends HD
The Scrabble game Words With Friends was a huge hit on the iPhone, and it makes even more sense for the iPad's bigger form factor. Words With Friends HD for the iPad will more closely resemble in size an actual Scrabble board, and the game will have the same online-chat capabilities as its predecessor. We can't wait to try it out. It costs 5 bucks in the App Store. Download Link

Dude's a Dad now! I think our boys are a week apart and if Dan is working half as hard as I am he's reviewing diapers, bottles, Gerber jars etc.
Has he got the review samples for Q4 figures ?????
And, we are less than a month away for Battle Ram, NA She-Ra, Tung Lashor & Arrow ! Man......... I can't wait for his reviews !!
Dude's a Dad now! I think our boys are a week apart and if Dan is working half as hard as I am he's reviewing diapers, bottles, Gerber jars etc.
You don't stop playing because you grow old you grow old because you stop playing. George Benard Shaw.
He cant do MotUC reviews when he did not get the figures He is doing a lot reviews on youtube for Turtles and many more things.
On top of that, his basement, where he keeps his studio, was flooded, a while back. He has done other reviews, recently, though, so I think it's only a matter of time before he gives us his thoughts on Tung Lashor, the giants and others. I am looking forward to that..!
I understand the trials of having a young child, so no pressure here, but I sure do miss his motuc reviews .
http://thefwoosh.com/2014/06/masters...beyond-vintageHey, if you want to wallow in the negative, go nuts. Sure, things arent absolutely perfect, and people passionate about a property can get all keyed up about things. But I dont collect toys to be miserable. So Id rather think about the things that do excite me
All the above and editing time takes up a good amount of time. Dan always gets us what he can when he can.
Dan has already done reviews for quarter 3 I thought? (I'm sure I remember seeing Flogg, Double Trouble, Flutterina, Madame Razz, Entrapta and Rio Blast) We also got a review for Eldor, so I'm sure we are up to date. Dan can only do reviews when he receives the sample figures, so I'm sure we will get some new reviews very soon.
8 figures I still need: 8/Perfuma (for completeness of POP ONLY!), 7/Filmation Tung Lashor, 6/Saurod, 5/Sprag, Sprocker and Spritina, 4/Peekablue, 3/Hunga the Harpy, 2/Filmation Clawful, 1/Dylamug.
I'm hoping he has received the remaining figures for 2014. The Fwoosh has just recently received the last of this years so I'd imagine, if Dan has them, that we'd be hearing from him soon since they usually put out their reviews around the same time.

The Outsane
Bunny, Mother Function, Special Guests "Rocky, Ava & McKenna"
The Coach House
33157 Camino Capistrano
San Juan Capistrano, CA, 927675
Doors 6:00 PM / Show 8:00 PM
This event is all ages
The Outsane
The Outsane is a talented and alluring, next generation rock band from San Clemente, Ca. Their edgy rock sound, driven by founder Madi Vogt on drums, is a tight mix of original material written by the band, with strongly punctuated riffs built around the fluid guitar style of Rafi Caro on lead guitar.
Logan McGarry, lead vocalist and guitarist, projects an intense vocal style that carries the angst and power of the song lyrics. Using mixed meter rhythms, driving guitar, along with Joe Allegretto's bass patterns that accentuate the power of their songs, their sound carries an urgency and passion that keeps the fans engaged through the band's musical journeys.
While both Logan and Rafi are virtuosic lead guitarists, when the songs break into guitar solos it is a climactic release of the fever pitch the piece has reached, not a showcase for one instrumentalist.
With some of Southern California's hottest music venues under their belt, such as The Whisky a Go Go, The Roxy, The Troubadour, and The Coach House, where they have headlined and opened for national acts such as Berlin and Missing Persons, The Outsane is ready to bring their sound to a broader audience.
With a highly developed musical footprint already, it is exciting to anticipate where this talented group of musicians will take their sound in the near future and beyond.
Stay tuned….
The Outsane with Bunny, Mother Function, Special Guests "Rocky, Ava & McKenna"
Friday, May 3 · Doors 6:00 PM / Show 8:00 PM at The Coach House

A squirrel nest blew out of a tree in my backyard last night. It's unusually cold, and I'm worried about the squirrels. Today I didn't see them rebuilding using the fallen pieces, and the ground is covered in several inches of snow, so they can't gather new materials to build a new nest. Will they survive without their home in this bitter cold? I feed them and love watching their antics. I put out a bunch of timothy hay. Anyone have any info or suggestions? They are (very funny and cute) gray tree squirrels. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Do you have any snags or hollow trees? I have a Wood Duck nest box and the squirrels love it! If there is no other obvious shelter you could build a box and mount it as high up their tree as you can. They should have enough stored fat to make it through a cold spell especially if you are feeding them well. |

Behind the crown
Perfectly poised with a permanent smile displayed, she nervously holds her breath as she awaits the opening number alongside girls from almost every country in Arkansas.
Kelsey Dow, a junior at the time, carried a sash across her body reading Craighead County as she danced her way across a brightly lit stage in a sparkly dress.
It was her first time to ever compete in the Miss USA pageant system, and her very first time to compete for the title of Miss Arkansas USA.
Although Dow competed in the pageant expecting nothing but experience, her world began to change as the contestants were steadily weeded out and Dow remained.
Winning wasnt in the cards for me, Dow said. It was my first time there, I didnt expect anything.
Dow continued through the pageant until there were only five girls left. As each runner-up was handed flowers and plaques, Dows practiced smile became shock as she realized she was the last one remaining with no award yet.
I think you could see the surprise on my face in the pictures of that night, Dow said. I came in thinking I had no chance, and I was crowned as Miss Arkansas USA at the end of it all.
Flashback 18 years and Dows toddler years began as most beauty queens do: with dance.
At the age of three, Dow had already become a mini-master of tap, ballet and jazz dance; the latter of which she would use in several pageants, and win.
Although she had the potential for a successful, and early, beginning in the pageant world, Dow wouldnt compete at a young age.
I wanted to do pageants when I was little, Dow said. My mom always told me that they were out of season.
Now, her family is her biggest group of fans, but it wasnt always that way.
They didnt see the educational aspect at first, Dow said. Its a lot of money and very time consuming. It wasnt until they saw the philanthropy and giving back that was involved, that they actually started to support the idea.
In fact, the Brookland natives first pageant wasnt until her ninth grade year at Nettleton High School.
Miss Raider, Dows first pageant ever, was open to high school girls at NHS.
While most beauty queens have a team composed of hair, makeup and pageant specialists, Dow only had someone to fix her hair.
I had a hairstylist, thats it, Dow said, laughing at the past memory. Luckily, she had done other girls hair for pageants, so she showed me how to walk on stage. After that, I practiced almost every day at home.
For the high school pageant, Dow said she prepared like crazy especially for the onstage question portion.
It worked.
Only a freshman in high school, and fresh to the pageant world, Dow won the competition, beating even the experienced upperclassmen.
It was my first pageant ever, and I won it, Dow smiled.
The Miss Raider Pageant was a precursor to the Miss Northeast Arkansas competition, which she placed First Runner-Up; second place in the pageant world.
Astoundingly, Dow didnt give up on her goal. The following year she returned to take the title, sash and crown.
Finally attaining her long-time goal of being a beauty pageant queen, Dow steadily competed, and won, several small town pageants including the District Fair Queen.
As her college life began, and busy schedule grew, Dow continued to compete.
In only her first year at ASU, she was sponsored by her sorority, Alpha Gamma Delta, and competed in the Miss ASU Pageant, placing Second Runner-Up.
Not discouraged, she came back to the competition her sophomore year, this time sponsored by the Kappa Alpha Order.
Her personalized platform, Texting and Driving: It can wait, moved the judges and audience as she told the heartbreaking story of sorority sister Hillary Davidson.
Davidsons father, Paul, was killed in a car accident where the other driver was texting and lost control of the vehicle.
Davidson rose to action, fighting for Pauls Law, named for her father, which now regulates cellphone usage while driving in Arkansas.
While the personal and localized platform drew the audience in, its easy to say that her kick-ass jazz routine won the show (and the Overall Talent Award).
Leaving the crowd and judges thinking Hot Gam, Dow triumphed that year and took home the title of Miss ASU.
Miss ASU is a preliminary to the Miss Arkansas America pageant, which Dow left with not just one, but two, awards.
As a newcomer to the Miss Arkansas America pageant, Dow won the Alpha Award in the evening gown portion, meaning she was the best of the new pageant competitors. But, she also took home the overall evening gown award, meaning she beat out every girl in that category both rookies and veterans.
After taking home two awards, but no title, Dow went on to compete in Miss Arkansas USA, which she won.
Although the beauty queen competed for both titles, the pageant systems are very different.
According to Dow, the America organization is focused on education, where contestants usually become doctors or lawyers.
However, the USA system is based more on opportunities involving modeling and acting.
Unfortunately, with a schedule packed with modeling, acting and travel, Dow didnt have many options when it came to college.
I won in January, and I had to drop my classes before we started back, Dow said. I was going to constantly be on the go, and I knew I couldnt help my scholarships if I stayed enrolled. So, I put them on hold.
And on-the-go she was. For a year, Dow went across the country modeling, acting and making appearances at several events.
My favorite part was going to all of the school and seeing the girls who thought we were princesses, Dow said. I had never been a role-model before, and I was one to these little girls.
In the final months of her journey, Dow made her last pageant attempt in a long trip to Las Vegas.
Dow, along with several other contestants, was on more than one TV show during that period.
From The Today Show to Live, with Regis and Kelly, with several in between, Dow met quite a few famous characters.
But, at the end of the day, it was a competition, which is exactly what Dow prepared for.
In a whirlwind night, girls were slowly released and Dow remained. Finally, during the announcement of the Top 16 contestants, Dow was shocked once more, along with almost the rest of Arkansas.
To the surprise of almost everyone, Dow took home the Fan Favorite Award, meaning she had the most fan votes of every contestant.
I really didnt expect it at all, Dow said. In hindsight, I remember being really nervous and a body guard patted me on the back and said youll be OK.
After the competition, Dow was approached by Miss USA representatives who told her that she won by a landslide. They wanted to know how she did it.
In reality, it was all thanks to my mom and sister, Dow said. They put paper slips in Sonic bags and with movie theater tickets everywhere. It also helped that I was really involved with the Miss USA system, so I got to know a lot of people.
Flash forward a year later and there is no sparkling trophy case in Dows room. In fact, there is no special display showcasing any awards from her over 20 titles.
Surprisingly, her pristine crowns and satin sashes sit in her attic, gathering dust in their original boxes.
Im not Toddlers and Tiaras, Dow laughed. I dont have a pageant room.
In the absence of a display, the quiet blondes personality is what actually shines through.
Everyone thinks Im really outgoing because I do pageants, Dow said, who is now in her final year of obtaining a degree in communication disorders. Actually, Im really shy.
Even though she is done with her time competing in pageants, she said she enjoys another side of the life.
Im still involved with pageants, Dow said. Only instead of competing, Im on the other side: Judging.

A fresh clip from the Brazilian hidden camera television show "The Silvio Santos Program" has gone viral. After the creepy clip of a little girl suddenly appearing in an elevator took the web by storm, this one features a man popping out of a coffin.
In the clip, the men in the coffin are actors. When the elevator doors close, the "corpse" pops out of the coffin, leaving the elevators riders absolutely terrified.
This Brazilian TV show snags victim after victim, and the clips have gone global. People seem to love to watch this stuff — but has reality TV just crossed a line?
Just last week renowned American magician Wayne Houchin was badly burnt during a stunt gone wrong on Dominican TV. He's doused in flammable cologne, which caught fire. Houchin is still in the hospital with first-degree burns. And now there's even an arrest warrant out for the show's host.
More and more producers are playing with fire.
"[This has] gone way, way, way beyond anything we could imagine in the candid camera days," Michael Levine, author and celebrity media expert told ABC News. "There's a consequence for outrageous reality TV but don't know the consequence because we are in uncharted territory."
In Germany a game show contestant nearly killed himself somersaulting over a moving car on live TV — with 10 million people watching.
Looking at this sort of incident, Levine sees cause for concern.
"If this is where we are today," he asks, "what would have to happen in the next five years to top it?"

2012 Editors' Choice: XC Race 29er
Niner Jet9 RDO
3 / 5
New for 2012, the RDO is a head-turner with a gorgeous frame and stunning finish. Niner knows how to make a 29er handle well and the Jet9 was spot-on—precise on descents and comfortable while climbing. The bike felt light and flickable, ready to dive into corners or carve around switchbacks. While the Niner pedaled sharply with little wasted energy, the businesslike suspension tune felt slightly harsher than the others.

The Lotus 101 Formula One car from 1989 will make its Lotus Festival return at Brands Hatch this August.
The car, owned by enthusiast Steve Griffiths, was the first normally-aspirated Lotus for five years. The Judd V8-powered car, designed by ex-Williams aerodynamicist Frank Dernie, was driven by Nelson Piquet and Satoru Nakajima. With turbo engines banned, the 101 reintroduced high-revving screamers to the sport.
The tightly-packaged 101 was originally shaken down at Snetterton by then test driver Martin Donnelly. Steve's 101 was first raced in April of that year by Piquet, before being campaigned by Satoru Nakajima for the rest of the season. The Japanese driver scored a best result of fourth in the Australian GP.
The following year the car was tested by Johnny Herbert before being sold by Team Lotus. After spending the next 20 years in storage it was purchased by Steve Griffiths, who restored the car to original condition in time for the 2010 Lotus Festival, including a rebuild of the Judd V8.
The Benetton B190 that powered triple World Champion Nelson Piquet to his penultimate Grand Prix victory in 1990 will join the Lotus Festival F1 line-up at Brands Hatch this August.
Designed under the direction of legendary designer John Barnard, the B190 began a rise to prominence to Benetton, who won two World titles with Michael Schumacher in the middle of the decade. The team was later bought by Renault, then Genii Capital, who signed a deal with Lotus for 2011, running under the famous racing name ever since.
Back in 1990 Piquet was joined by rising star and Grand Prix winner Alessandro Nannini, but a helicopter accident for the latter ended his F1 career. He was replaced by Roberto Moreno and the pairing finished 1-2 in the Japanese Grand Prix, the second year that the team benefitted from a clash between title contenders Ayrton Senna and Alain Prost. Piquet then won the next race in Australia, which concluded the season.
The B190's Ford V8 engine produces 650bhp at 11,500rpm and is currently owned by enthusiast John Reaks, who has demonstrated the car at several events as well as being a Lotus on Track regular.


text: Road to victory is always under construction. The connotation of success is relative. For some, success equals money and fame, for others it means achieving respect. While there are others who try corroborate success with small happiness. There are yet those who fail to gain success despite achieving a lot. Despite all odds, the road to success is challenging and adventurous. Sharing their adventurous journey to the abode of success with Sakhi are a few Bollwyood stars. Journey from Rajeev Bhatia to Akshay Kumar was not a cakewalk: Akshay Kumar, actor After 20 years of hard work and experience I do realise that reaching to the zenith of success is a herculean task and requires a lot of patience. I suppose, at this juncture of my life, I can proudly say that I am a successful man. From the past two-three years I have been pondering over my life's journey and thinking to jot down the experiences into a biography titled 'Aise bana Rajeev Bhatia se main Akhsay Kunar'. In this memorable journey, the immense help which I received from many quarters made me the person I am today. I am nothing without those helpful hands and my success story remains incomplete without crediting them. My father Hari Om Bhatia: Without my father's support and blessings I could not have reached where I am today. I got bitten by the bug of acting while I was in Bangkok working as a chef. I left my job and came to Delhi. My father used to work with UNICEF here. But he was burdened with many responsibilities. So, I tried not to bother him with my monetary requirements. He encouraged me in every step of my life. Chakki Da: When I came to Mumbai to pursue my dream I had no acquaintances here except one or two friends on whom I could bank upon. I thought, what is the harm in trying my luck in Bollywood? If destiny favours me, I may become a hero and if I fail then I can always turn back to my previous profession as a chef. It is then that I met Chakki Da, famous film producer Pramod Chakraborty who later cast me in his film 'Deedar' opposite Karishma Kapoor, one of the hit and hot actresses of that time. When I went to meet her for the first time, I was out of my nerves. Jayesh Seth: I have toiled a lot to make a strong foothold in film industry. I met photographer Jayesh in Mumbai and worked with him as an assistant. He was my friend, philosopher and guide. One day he said to me, "Rajeev, why do not you shave your moustache and trim your hair. Long hair and moustache do not suit you. You have no style of your own; you should develop your own style." At that time I could not understand why such an acclaimed photographer was unhappy with my style. Me being a Punjabi, I always used to take pride in my moustache. I did not pay any heed to his advice. Then one fine day he again said, "Rajiv why do not you go to producer Shasilal Nayar's office, his place is located in the building where you reside." I replied that I have met him several times but each time he sent me away saying 'come with a portfoilio'. At that time, I neither had the money nor the information how to get my portfolio clicked. I only hoped that Jayesh would someday himself offer to shoot my portfolio and déjà vu. It happened that day itself. I just mentioned it to him and he agreed with a smile. Donned many hats: While treading on the road to success I had to don many hats. I worked as an agent and sold flats, as a salesman, as a poster-model for a local gym in Lokhandwala. The last assignment fetched me Rs 5000 by which I joined dance-acting classes. I used to try new stunts every day. One day while I was practicing a stunt, Jayesh clicked my photograph and thanks to his good contacts the picture got published in a magazine. That was my first taste of success which got me so excited that I showed the magazine to all my friends. Little did I know then that the particular photo would fetch me a lead role in Bollywood. Jacky encouraged me a lot: Jayesh started taking me to photo sessions and media houses. Once he took me to the sets of a film starring Jackie Shroff and Dimple Kapadia. At that time, I had never ever imagined that one day I would become beautiful Dimple's son-in-law. It is all about destiny. During the shooting, I met Jackie Shroff. He told me, "You should be in front of the camera." When I replied that I am just Jayesh sir's assistant, he said with a smile, "Your day will also come and you will achieve what you want." Success came closer: Jackie Shroff was right. One sudden day, I received a call from Chakki da's office and he informed me that I had passed the screen-test for the lead role in 'Deedar'. After this, I got many offers but unfortunately my films flopped at the box-office. After every flop, I started going to Mata's Darbaar barefoot. Belief in devotion gave me strength to carry on after every flop show and finally I got film 'Khiladi' which proved to be super-duper hit. This film filled my life with colours and my Bollywood career just set off from there and I never looked back. My stint with success started with 'Khiladi' and I am still trying to retain that. But for me, the genuine taste of success is the happiness that comes after insurmountable hard-work and after overcoming all odds. Success= Name+ fame: Aamir Ali, actor-model I have never thought much about success or failure, but I have faced lots of ups and down in my life. I believe that luck is the only factor which can give you success or failure. I have done my graduation from Washington University (US) and that time I never thought that in future I would work for Television. It is not a struggle, but an effort Some people call their journey of life as struggle while others call it an effort. But for me it was my effort that got paid off. After graduation when I came back to Mumbai I participated in Grasim Mr India contest. I won the 'Mr Photogenic' tag and after that I got many offers. I got a television offer also. Later, I did a few movies. I did daily soaps like Kahani Ghar Ghar Ki, Wo Rehne Wali Mahalo Ki and later I did many reality shows like Nach-Baliye, Zara Nach Ke Dikha. However, I took a break for two years as I did not get good offers. At this juncture I did some self-introspection about myself and career and finally signed television serial 'FIR'. Success to me means name and fame Everyone has to toil hard. Some has to sweat it out a lot while others do a little less. For me, success means name, fame and money altogether. But I will never do anything only for money. For two years when I did not get any good offers, I got myself stuck to doing nothing rather than taking up unworthy projects. I and Sanjeeda did lots of entertainment shows all over the world. I have never compromised on anything for success. I cannot accept something which my heart and dignity do not permit. I accepted the challenges During the reality show Nach Baliye I did not know anything about dance but I won that show with my girlfriend Sanjeeda. I have always taken up challenges. With the grace of God, I have been successful in dealing with the challenges. I have never felt like a looser. But I believe that if you do not belong to any filmy background then one defeat is like a big blow but if belong then you will get opportunities despite giving flops. My mother Nargis Ali has always supported me. I believe that God helps only those who help themselves. Hard-work and fortune bestowed me with fame: Prachi Desai, actress I came to Mumbai from Gujarat. From a cultural place to an educational hub and now I am in a glamorous city. I was interested in acting but I never thought to pursue this as a profession. During my education in Pune I gave an audition for a serial and became Baani in 'Kasam Se'. Many avenues opened up in front of me. At the age of 17, I was earning Rs 10 lakh and I believe that it was the biggest achievement for me. Money and needs I have never been crazy for money and power. I belong to a middle-class family so I spend my money very carefully. Once I bought a lipstick from market and my mother asked, "What is this? The quality of this lipstick is not good. Why did you buy it? Always remember you should spend money on useful items." Afraid of seniors During the early days of my career I had to go for shoots early. Sometimes I had to wait for an auto-rickshaw for hours. It used to scare me that if I reach late then my seniors will yell at me and shooting will get postponed. When I got huge amount of money then my parents advised me to buy a car. I bought a black Maruti Swift car. I believe Ekta is like my Godmother. Had she not given me the opportunity I would have never become successful. Bought my house Last year I bought a house with my salary. I even bought a mirror worth Rs1 lakh. I became very emotional then. May be success is the real name of these tears of happiness. I believe that slow and steady wins the race. I just want to do good work and destiny has given me lots of happiness in a very short span of time. I am very satisfied with my successful journey. Success to me is changing someone's life positively: Onir, director Success holds different meaning to me. If I ever can change anyone's life I will consider that as a personal achievement. Success is a relative term. Its meaning differs with every individual. Respect and love, essential factors For me, love and respect are everything. I did films like My Brother Nikhil, Bas Ek Pal, Sorry Bhai and I Am. My parents used to ask me why I directed such kind of films which never gave me good financial gain. But my films are my passion. I cannot make them understand that my movies are more experimental and less commercial. They can never understand my obsession. My struggle has been unique. I did not have the financial backing to make a film. But I was confident. I asked my friends for help through Facebook. My friends liked my passion and helped me. I term failure only as an obstruction. I believe that every moment gives you an opportunity to learn something. I consider myself as a successful person. When I look back and see people trying hard to make an entry in Bollywood I feel lucky to have had an easy entry. Interestingly, in six years I made only four films. To keep going is success I believe that success is a never ending process. You have to make your way amidst the thorns of struggle and ensure success. Here I would like to thank Juhi Chawla and Sanjay Suri. A famous actress like Juhi Chawla agreed to work with a newcomer like me. But I never underestimate myself. I am walking on my chosen path. I have not compromised with my passion. For me, this is the real story of success. Courtesy: Sakhi

During telomere replication in yeast, chromosome ends acquire an S-phase-specific overhang of the guanosine-rich strand. Here it is shown that in cells lacking Ku, a heterodimeric protein involved in nonhomologous DNA end joining, these overhangs are present throughout the cell cycle. In vivo cross-linking experiments demonstrated that Ku is bound to telomeric DNA. These results show that Ku plays a direct role in establishing a normal DNA end structure on yeast chromosomes, conceivably by functioning as a terminus-binding factor. Because Ku-mediated DNA end joining involving telomeres would result in chromosome instability, our data also suggest that Ku has a distinct function when bound to telomeres.
