I reposted on my blog: {mommy chic} design. style. kids. life.
Thanks for the idea! :)
Fabulous!! Well done. I love the pattern you chose!
What a great idea! I have to try this. What type of paint did you use? You sanded it? Can I ask why?
What size is the pattern repeat?
Wow it looks so professional and awesome! I'm wondering how you sanded it and what if any top coat you used? Also what was the final texture like? I worry about it being to stiff and crinkly.
It looks amazing. I also love the pattern you chose. Great job! You have a lot of patience.
I would NEVER have the patience for that, but I LOVE it. It looks soooo awesome. :) I have never thought of doing something like that.. Love it:)
I love it...you inspired me to do the same thing
Hi, I would love to do this project.... What kind of paint did you use? Regular paint or fabric paint?
I still can't believe our first party had over 300 links. I have a special give away planned for linkers this week.
I would love it if you would grab the bacon time party button for your collection of link parties since it will run every Friday evening through Sunday night.
Thanks again and see you soon, following with gfc.
I featured your rug @ WorkShop Wednesday- I just loved it!
This is amazing!!
I was wondering if you knew if this might work on regular Berber style carpet? My carpet has a few permanent stains on it and unless I can figure out a way to do something of this nature to it, I am going to have to replace it. Money is tight at this time and I cannot really afford to do that. It looks DIRTY where the stains are and I MUST do something. What are your thoughts on painting the entire carpet in my small-sized bedroom? Thank you for any advice or help you can give. email@example.com
@ bargainmom10
Hmmm, that is a good question, never tried that.
I don`t really know if this can help you...
It is made from sheep wool?!
I think here you have to use fabrik or wool paint. That isn`t that expensive and work`s very well, hadn`t painted a carpet but curtains.
Bold patterns and color might work very well in a small room, if you wanted to replace the carpet anyway`s try it.
But if you`re not sure, just ask someone else for their opinion.
The blog land is full of crazy carpet painters, just google and ask them;)
This project seems like it has potential for mess - especially if done by someone like me with NO patience - but I am TOTALLY willing to try it! LOVE how it came out!
I like it! I like it a lot!!! <3
One of the best stencil projects I've seen! Great color and outcome! Thanks so much for sharing your Authentic Style at WhisperWood Cottage! :)
Nice work! What you did is art at its finest! Wow! The carpet now looks very beautiful....
OMG, I LOVE IT!!!! I've been looking for a rug with this kind of pattern and colors... but you can't find them here in Sweden, and it's too expensive to ship them from the States where I found the once I like. I'm gonna do this! =)
This rug is GORGEOUS! You did a wonderful job :)
Love this! I hope you don't mind that I included a photo and link in a post I did on stencils.(I'm new to blogging and unfamiliar with linking etiquette). Thanks for the inspiration!
Genevieve http://turnedtodesign.blogspot.com/
So beautiful! I'm sure this was a lot of work!!

New Product Flyers
We have added a variety of new products from stylus pens to speakers and more. Check out and download the unbranded flyers below or click here for a complete list of new product flyers.
Make Gold Bond Your Choice for PPAI's Supplier Star of the Year
Become an Expert & Ditch the Price War
We attended the ASI Orlando show in January and I got the unique chance join a few education sessions. I was especially intrigued by the session "Preventing Selling on Price." The session quickly transitioned to a how-to on becoming an expert and go-to person for your clients. I personally couldn't agree more with the strategy, but I saw a room full of 1,000 people that were struggling with how to do that.
The problem became really clear when the speaker asked a couple of questions. The first question asked, based on a show of hands, how many people have a blog. Again there were at least 1,000 people in the room and not a single hand went up. With this response, the speaker followed up with an additional question asking how many people do an email newsletter. This time there was a response of about 8 hands out of 1,000. This made me wonder how most distributors are going to market.
This post is designed to shed more light on this issue and give some solutions to promotional product distributors that are seeking ways to differentiate themselves. First and foremost, to be an expert or go-to person, you have to present yourself as an expert on what you are selling. It isn't about the next hottest stylus pen or moisture-wicking polo. To be an expert, you have to provide ideas and solutions that help a company accomplish one thing, make money.
This is a true concept for any industry. It was first told to me by the Chairman of the Board of Astec Industries. Astec is roughly a $1 Billion company that sells heavy equipment for processing asphalt for the paving industry. Don Brock simply said, "We don't make equipment and we don't sell paving technology, we build solutions that help our customers make money. If they aren't making money using our equipment then we aren't going to be in business."
If this rings true for someone that makes heavy equipment, then it couldn't be more true for the promotional products industry. After all, promotion is in the name of our industry and a promotion involves an "activity that supports or provides active encouragement for the furtherance of a cause, venture, or aim." At least, that is what Google states. To put it another way, it is an activity that supports or provides active encouragement for the furtherance of making your customers more successful or profitable.
Distributors that are simply pushing product are missing the chance for true clients and stable growth. The next time a customer asks you if you can get them a pen or t-shirt ask them for what it will be used and how they are going to use it. Then pitch them a solution that will help them accomplish their goal. Always be sure to present the product in a way that directly or indirectly contributes to what your customer wants to accomplish.
Customer: I need a pen.
Distributor: Where are you going to use the pen and what do you want to accomplish?
Customer: We are doing a trade show and I need a giveaway.
Distributor: That's great, what type of trade show? Are you targeting a specific industry? What is the primary message you are trying to deliver at the show?
Customer: That is a great question. We are going to Dream Force which is the big show for Salesforce.com. We are pushing our new app that integrates our primary software platform with customers on SalesForce. We really want to showcase the ease of integration and the flexibility of the app.
Distributor: Sounds like a big opportunity. You need to consider something that the attendees will want to hang onto and the message needs to drive them to an action. Does the application on Salesforce also include an iPhone or Android app?
Customer: Actually, yes that is the big thing we are showing off at the show.
This conversation can go on to include the number of people they are expecting to come by the booth and the budget. At the end of it, the distributor has a host of information that allows them to provide a solution instead of a product. The solution goes all the way down to the level of tieing it all together through a call to action on the products imprint.
Asking these open ended questions will open up limitless conversations and earn referrals based on the simple fact that you are no longer the necessary evil but the person that helps them succeed. If you simply ask your customer how many they need and their budget, you are only going to be a commodity and it will always be a price war. It is the way your position the product towards their goals that will separate you from the pack.
So now you want to know what this all has to do with blogging and email blasts? It is simple, if you ask open ended questions, your customers will give you the information you need to write a valuable newsletter or blog post. Write about the solutions you presented and how you helped your customer reach their goals. Then supplement with content from other places. It is all legit if you simply provide a blurb about the content you want to share and directly link them to the original source. If you are strategic in what you present, your content will be specific to industries that you are targeting. In time, you will have built yourself into a go-to expert.

By exploiting their complementary expertise, these two leading organizations will develop and implement new learning methods using a combination of computer-based training, networked information resources, e-learning techniques and mobile computing systems. IBM will become a preferred supplier to HCT for computer systems and software, as well as provide consultancy and expertise in e-education programmes.
HCT, which has campuses for men and women in Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Sharjah, Ras al Khaimah, Fujeira and Al Ain, offers courses in engineering, technology and business. It is a long-term pioneer of e-education in the Middle East, with an advanced technology-based learning program where students and faculty are equipped with IBM ThinkPad notebook computers, using them to access a host of learning and information systems.
"At the Higher Colleges of Technology, we have a strong culture of utilizing the latest computing technologies in delivering our education and training programs, and of constantly improving how we equip our students with the skills they need to succeed in their future professional lives," said Dr. Jim Horton, Vice Chancellor of the Higher Colleges of Technology. "We believe that this strategic partnership with IBM gives us enormous resources to strengthen our position as the leading technical education institutions in the region, helping us stay at the forefront of e-education and progressive teaching methods."
Samer Shaar, General Manager of IBM Middle East, Egypt and Pakistan commented, "We are extremely proud to make this announcement today. We've had a long and fruitful relationship with HCT and its various campuses, equipping them with some great technologies. HCT is now inviting us to take this relationship a step further, where we can bring some of IBM's immense global resources to the table, and where we can add the best practices, technologies and methods developed over many years to the Middle East education environment. We look forward to working with HCT, producing the scientists, engineers and business people of tomorrow."
IBM, through its IBM Global Campus programs, has developed unparalleled expertise in creating a comprehensive foundation of products, services, and support to enable academic institutions to improve university functions using IBM's software and hardware products, and its learning and information sharing systems.
The main elements of the Memorandum of Understanding include cooperation with IBM Research, where HCT will collaborate with IBM Research in developing new e-learning techniques and solutions, specifically human-centric research projects into what makes e-learning engaging, effective, and viable. IBM Research is the pure and applied sciences division of IBM employing more than 3,000 scientists and engineers worldwide.
A second major element is forming a network of strategic relationships with other universities active in e-learning, regionally and globally. IBM has active relationships with many higher education institutions that are at various stages of implementing e-learning projects, where IBM acts as a supplier of technology, advisor and strategic partner. IBM will assist in the establishment of relationships between HCT and some of the institutions with which IBM collaborates.
IBM will also offer HCT guest lectures and courses offered by IBM's technical staff. The company will also advise HCT on directions and content of University Degree Programs, which could ultimately lead to HCT students being accredited with IBM certification in certain fields.
HCT is already a strong partner in the Thinkpad University Program, a comprehensive program through which IBM enables universities to deploy the latest mobile computing technology for faculty and students, providing smooth integration into the learning environment. As it strengthens its activities within the program, HCT becomes member of the IBM Thinkpad University community that will ensure HCT receive support and access to a worldwide community willing to share "best practices" and "lessons learned". Just recently, IBM and the Dubai Women's College (an HCT campus) signed an agreement to supply a further 1,000 IBM ThinkPads as part of its e-education programme.
HCT will also become part of the IBM Scholars Program, where faculty members will have free access to a wide range of IBM products (particularly development tools and advanced enterprise software) for instructional, learning and non-commercial research.
As part of its commitment to community development, IBM will offer five internships per year in one of its regional offices to give promising students real-life skills and experience.

New identity notification
The Athletic Club is now Movati Athletic. Same caring people. Exciting new identity. Find out more here.
Our philosophy
As soon as you step inside one of our clubs, we want you to feel welcome whatever your ability or level of fitness. We work hard to create an unintimidating environment where you will feel comfortable, keeping you motivated towards achieving your health and fitness goals. All of this adds up to a fitness experience that is focused on only one thing: making sure you feel healthy.
Feel welcome
You'll notice that we smile a lot at Movati Athletic. That's not just because we're really happy, it's because we know how important the little things are – like a smile when you walk into the club – when it comes to making you feel welcome. This is essential for us. If you don't feel welcome, then you won't feel motivated to continue your journey toward a healthier lifestyle.
Feel healthy
Our Movati Athletic team is on hand to do whatever it takes to set you on a sustainable path toward well-being. This means listening to you and your body to develop an individual fitness plan that is going to work. And that means focusing on more than just your fitness. It means looking at ways to help you improve your nutrition, your work/life balance and reduce any stress that may be hindering your overall health. We're much more than just a place to get sweaty. We want you to feel healthy.
Feel comfortable
This has been part of our philosophy since we started way back in 1997. If you don't feel comfortable, then you're not going to achieve your health and fitness goals. It's as simple as that. We've designed every one of our clubs to be spacious, calm, friendly environments where everyone feels comfortable. And our staff is here to ensure you don't feel intimidated or get discouraged by your personal fitness plan. At Movati Athletic, we want to create a fitness experience that you'll look forward to every day.
The Movati Athletic story
Our story begins in September 1997 with the establishment of our very first health club. Right from the very beginning, we knew we wanted to create a fitness experience that went beyond just working out. We wanted to create a place where real people felt at home. Where they would receive expert advice in a caring atmosphere and ultimately be able to push themselves to achieve things they never thought possible.
What began as one club has now grown to 11, with more on the way. We continue to hire exceptional, caring people, adding to our family of Movati Athletic employees currently working hard to ensure you always feel welcome, comfortable and healthy.
Our clubs are spacious, modern environments where no corner has been cut in our quest to offer our members the best facilities.
We work so hard because we truly believe in what we do. Every day we are helping our members improve their quality of life, little by little, step by step, pound by pound. We love seeing them change their lives in such wonderful, positive ways, and it's this that drives us forward, motivating us to keep providing the highest levels of service, courtesy and care for all our members.

Hi everyone, After initially ordering backsplash tile that is too dark, I need to choose something else! Could you give me suggestions for tile in my newly rebuilt kitchen (pic attached)? Thanks! |

What paint color are you going with? I like the clean look of white with dark..so I'd probably go with a white subway tile maybe add an accent glass piece. For fun a pre-made glass mixture small squares, or a square rectangle combo. |
Sure. Given no information on budget, style (modern, classic) color, or material preference, you can do almost anything. Marble: Glass: Shell: Mixed Materials: Textural, 3D: Handmade: |

Ok, I guess a little more info would help :-) My house is from the '50s, and I'm trying to keep it a bit 'transitional', although my personal tastes lean towards modern. The cabinets are pecan wood with a black stain, and I'm planning a very light grey paint with white trim for the non-tiled areas. Anyway, I've got about 30 square feet of wall space and would like to keep the backsplash under about $1500, so about $50 / sq ft max. Also, I'm leaning towards glass tiles, eg these: |

Of the two that you posted, I'd vote for the first ... subtle and doesn't detract from the rest of the kitchen. In the second picture, my eyes are so drawn to the backsplash that it's hard to look at anything else. I do love Oceanside tile, though! |
Transitional? Why don't you look at some of that cook bubble-ish geometric tile as an accent across the bottoms or tops of the counter/cabinets, with something shiny for the field tile? I'm seriously not a fan of those patterns, but the ones demonstrated above made me say, "yeah! That would be so cool!" You've got a neat kitchen happening. |
- Posted by teachertile (My Page) on Thu, Feb 27, 14 at 11:29
Love the first inspiration picture you posted with the glass tiles. |
- Posted by terri_pacnw (My Page) on Thu, Feb 27, 14 at 22:10
Yep first inspiration, but I think I'd go a bit larger on the tile size. |
Oh gosh, no. If you love those tiles, then get them but I don't find that beautiful at all, and all the other choices you've made are impeccable. Have you considered sheet glass? Very modern and clean looking, and no grout. The image below is from Dreamwalls. Another option, visually stunning, would be large format stone or ceramic tile. |
Just to expand on the "Oh no" comment (sorry, I was tired), the tile you are considering has a very cool coloration, whereas your black-stained wood has warmth in it still. They clash. They even clash in the ad image (which is not your doing...) but if you love it, enjoy! |
I'm starting to feel that the thin horizontal glass tiles are already looking dated to me. Not all of them but some of the ubiquitous color combinations are. |
- Posted by rsponholtz (My Page) on Fri, Feb 28, 14 at 9:19
Thanks everyone for your comments! The backsplash has been the hardest part for me to pick out, especially after getting the wrong tile to start (and paying a 25% restocking fee).. I've been trying to make the kitchen a bit modern/transitional without over doing it, and since the house was built in '53, maybe a little mid-century modern (although its starting to look a bit "done" imho). CEFreeman, I ordered a couple of samples of the Cook tile, should be here in a couple of days, thanks for the reference! EAM44, gr8day, which do you think are the ubiquitous color combinations? |

I had a delicious very productive tomato plant, JUST ONE! that bloomed and yielded buckets of sweet pear shaped patio size tomatoes. I have saved the plant, having uprooted it to move from Ohio to South Carolina. I very much would like to attempt to harvest the seeds for next year. I read the article of how to slice the tomato at the "equator" and squeeze the goo into a container. Is this going to be successful with such small sized fruit? I will be slicing and spooning out the pulp in a WHOLE LOT OF THOSE LITTLE tomatoes to get any yield. Do you think it will be successful if I do indeed try this project? Thanks |
Follow-Up Postings:
How many seeds you get depends on the kind of the tomato. Some small tomatoes might have more seeds than some big ones :) And yes, it is pretty easy to save tomato seeds. Just scoop out the goo; let it ferment with a little bit of water, then when the seeds star to separate, rinse, dry and you have them! Good luck! |

Adventures Boat Rentals' sea-loving staff outfits the Newport Beach area with both self-propelled and electric-powered vessels. The Duffy-brand electric boats produce zero emissions and carry up to 12 passengers, and Adventures Boat Rentals' paddleboards and kayaks only produce a soft squeal when passengers board. The staff also equips each rider with a map of the harbor's restaurants to find grub after their adventure.
Located on the 880-acre Newport Harbor, Balboa Fun Tours launches self-guided or escorted jaunts that allow customers to explore the harbor?s sandy beaches, gentle surf, and varied marine life. Guests ride down the beachfront boardwalk on brightly hued beach-cruiser bicycles, taking in the sights of moored yachts and million-dollar mansions with moored yachts on their roofs. Chatty, knowledgeable Newport natives lead segway tours on land, and water excursions depart on kayaks and paddleboards.
Pirate Coast teaches aspiring sea cruisers to put plank to water and glide across the ocean's surface on a surfboard powered by a long paddle. Learn the basics of paddleboard through land and water instruction while simultaneously strengthening the core, the part of the body the rest of the anatomy looks up to. During lessons, students will practice newly acquired skills on Newport Back Bay, where calm waters relax inexperienced paddlers and rock merbabies to sleep. When the learning is complete, a tour of Newport Harbor will display views of windblown bluffs, sandy beaches, and yachts glimmering in golden sunlight. Each student is equipped with a stand-up paddleboard, paddle, and personal floatation device (upon request).
Amateur surfers are a lot like newborn fawns: they?re wide-eyed, full of life, and not so great at standing. That?s why head instructor and founder of Surfari Surf, Rick Gehris?along with his team of seasoned instructors?begins every first-time lesson by introducing a simple, achievable goal: stand. To increase the chances of success, Gehris and his instructors?well versed in Hawaiian, Californian, and Floridian surfing methods?hop right into the water to assist students as they cut into the waves. The instructors hang off the tails of their surfboards, stabilizing each board and repositioning students until they?re ready to take to the open water and try out their pickup lines on the nearest, cute-enough dolphin.
In addition to surf lessons and camps, instructors also show off their athletic prowess during standup-paddleboard lessons, which often are supplemented by independent board rentals.
If you want to traverse the calm waters of Newport Bay, Balboa Boat Rentals' kayaks, paddleboards, and pedal boats will suffice. But if you want to venture out into the sea, Balboa's staff also rents out sailboats, power boats, and harnessed sharks. Balboa's Coast Guard?licensed captains will even take the wheel if you want, either during parasailing trips or boat tours in cushy pontoon boats.
An armada of options awaits daytime adventurers at Village Boat Rentals. Leisurely paddle tandem kayaks with a partner or overactive imaginary friend, or harness the electric power of Village's Duffy boats, which come complete with covered awnings. Available for an hour or more, boats include all necessary equipment, including paddles, when needed, and life jackets.

"You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means."
I just can not believe that the media has latched on to the term "teabaggers" in reference to yesterday's "protests" (this word also deserves quotations). Don't these people know what that really means, and if not, should someone tell them? (If you are among the unknowing, direct your feet to your friendly search engine, and your eyes shall be opened, child.)
The utter disorganization of the whole thing should, however, be of no surprise to anyone. This fits well with the idea that we should act now and think later, a sort of mental health plan for the ultraconservative. Many of the OS writers covering the event have noted that each person asked why they were protesting seemed to have a different reason. It seems that, faced with the prospect of at least a couple of years of not being in control, conservatives are floundering. The net they've cast is the biggest they could find, with the smallest holes, designed to catch as many people as possible who might have a problem with the way things are or the way they are being handled. It's a buffet, and you know how we here in America love a big buffet.
On the flip side, I guess teabagging has some relation to what's going on here. Either way, somebody is putting something in other people's mouths.

Emma Stone's star will soon shine on Broadway when she debuts in "Cabaret," but the actress's latest projects have been darker than her previous roles in "The Amazing Spider-Man," "Easy A" and, earlier this year, "Magic in the Moonlight."
In the film "Birdman," directed by Alejandro G. Iñárritu, she plays Sam, a young woman fresh out of rehab and furious at her father, Riggan Thomson (Michael Keaton). Sam agrees to be his assistant as he obsesses over staging his Broadway adaptation of a Raymond Carver story, but then feels neglected and relegated to menial tasks like getting his coffee.
Ms. Stone, 25 years old, filmed several of her "Birdman" scenes on the rooftop of Broadway's St. James Theatre on 44th Street, just 10 blocks from where she will star in her own show, "Cabaret" at Studio 54, starting Nov. 11.
In "Cabaret," she is set to take over the role of Sally Bowles, the despairing singer at the Kit Kat Klub in 1931 Berlin. Directed by Rob Marshall and Sam Mendes, this Roundabout Theatre Company revival stars Alan Cumming as the Emcee and, currently, Michelle Williams as Sally.
Sally is a tragic figure, for whom love is fleeting—and a role Ms. Stone has wanted to play ever since she watched Natasha Richardson sing "Cabaret" as a 9-year-old girl.
Ms. Stone spoke with the Journal about "Birdman" and "Cabaret," navigating social media as a public person, and redirecting paparazzi interest. An edited transcript follows.
In "Birdman," Sam is often on the periphery of things, then becomes the center of some key action. Were you able to use that to your advantage to play her?
It's a good question, because she is lurking and sitting on her phone on the outskirts of scenes a lot of the time. It was one of those always-watching kind of feelings. I feel like a lot of people distract themselves when they're on their phone, but they're sort of aware of what's happening around them, which gives them more insights than maybe it seems.
In the scene when Sam lashes out at her dad, it's intense when she yells, "You don't exist!" but also kind of funny because she's criticizing him for not caring about Twitter and Facebook.
Because it's such a tangent, I thought it was probably something she had written down in a journal when she was in rehab, as something she had felt about him and had probably said to herself a million times, and was activated enough to say it to him the first time. Which I think felt different than what she expected it to feel. I don't think I saw it as comedy or tragedy, so much as just this little truth bomb that she was finally getting the chance to throw at him.
Sam tries to show him the power of YouTube and social media. How do you negotiate your own power on the Internet as a public person?
I don't have a public social-media account—Twitter or Instagram or anything—but I have apps on my phone of Huffington Post or the Guardian. I look at people's Twitter.
Because I don't really engage with it on a personal level, I don't see comments personally directed at me or respond to anything in that way. I think maybe it's easier to stay removed in some sense. I don't feel at the mercy of whoever's "@"-replying me, you know?But it is interesting because there's just so much of it now. There's just so many websites and so many different forums. I grew up loving the Internet so much and building websites. I had an e-zine that I would send to three people who would subscribe, who were probably all my mom under different screen names, before blogging was really a thing. I think now there's an overwhelming nature that's sort of inherent to social media—all the tweets and the constant-ness of it is a little much for me.

It's official: Emma Stone will make her Broadway debut in the current Roundabout Theatre Company revival of "Cabaret."
The 25-year-old will replace Oscar nominee Michelle Williams, who made her debut in the role of showgirl Sally Bowles when the revival opened at Studio 54 in April. Stone will take over as Sally beginning Nov. 11 (Williams exits Nov. 9) and will play the role until Feb. 1, 2015.
Alan Cumming — who won a Tony Award for his portrayal of the show's Emcee in the 1998 Broadway production, which serves as the basis of this revival — will extend his run through March 29, 2015, thus confirming that yet another actress may get to tread the Cabaret boards before the show's run is through.
Stone was linked to the show in 2013 during Roundabout's initial announcement, but film scheduling conflicts forced her to back out. Last week, word broke that she had entered negotiations to join the show when Williams vacates the iconic role.
Unrelated but completely related, Stone's beau Andrew Garfield made his Broadway debut in 2012's "Death of a Salesman." Again, unrelated… but completely related.

Use and Abuse of Reusable Learning Objects
Pithamber R. Polsani
Learning TechnologyCenter, University of Arizona, USA Email: firstname.lastname@example.com Key features: References
The term Learning Object, first popularized by Wayne Hodgins in 1994 when he named the CedMAworking group "Learning Architectures, APIs and Learning Objects", has become the Holy Grail of content creation and aggregation in the computer-mediated learning field. The terms Learning Objects (LOs)and Reusable Learning Objects are frequently employed in uncritical ways, thereby reducing them to mere slogans. The serious lack of conceptual clarity and reflection is evident in the multitude ofdefinitions and uses of LOs. The objectives of this paper are to assess current definitions of the term Learning Object, to articulate the foundational principles for developing a concept of LOs, and toprovide a methodology and broad set of guidelines for creating LOs.

Baja California Sur
Baja California Sur
State (pop., 2000: 423,516), southern Baja California peninsula, northwestern Mexico. It occupies an area of 28,369 sq mi (73, 475 sq km), and its capital is La Paz. It became a state in 1974. It is sparsely populated and remains relatively underdeveloped. Much new acreage of cotton has been planted near La Paz, but subsistence agriculture is most common. An increase in tourism and improved communications have begun to alleviate the state's isolation.

17 Streaming Movies to Watch This Week
Features By Brian Kelley on July 10, 2012 | Be the First To CommentThe beginning of each month is an exciting time wherein Netflix dumps a large number of new titles onto their streaming service. Comb through those titles as well as others added in the past couple of weeks, and a few great titles bubble to the surface. Let's take a look at a documentary about urban design, a drama about adolescent sexual identity, an existential Western from the vaults, and a few more movies worth streaming this week.
Did 'Speed' Steal the Thunder From 'Die Hard With a Vengeance' By Getting Released a Year Earlier?
Features By Nathan Adams on July 3, 2012 | Comments (3)If one were to conduct a scientific study meant to determine what the most successful action movie of the 90s was, chances are pretty dang good that Speed would be near the top of the candidates for consideration. A success both financially and critically, this high-octane tale of a bomb on a perpetually moving bus solidified Keanu Reeves as one of Hollywood's go-to leading men, launched the gigantic career of Sandra Bullock, and even gave its director, Jan de Bont, a success to add to his resume. All of that should be enough to solidify Speed's place as one of the most important 90s action movies already, and we haven't even factored in how it also managed to introduce the phrase, "Pop quiz, hotshot," into the cultural lexicon. So, pop quiz, hotshot: Die Hard was the greatest action movie ever made, but its sequel, Die Hard 2, was a derivative bore churned out by one of the most prolific manufacturers of schlock of the last few decades, Renny Harlin. What do you do? You get the director of the original, the inimitable John McTiernan, to come back for the third film, Die Hard With a Vengeance. DHWAV, from what I can tell, isn't hated. It's widely considered to be the second-best entry in the Die Hard franchise, it certainly made its makers some money, and it doesn't get derided as the death of the franchise like the belated fourth sequel, Live Free or Die Hard, does. But it doesn't get […]
5 Sexy Films That Paved the Way for 'Magic Mike'
Features By Gwen Reyes on June 28, 2012 | Comments (4)Ladies and open-minded gentlemen, this is the weekend for which we have been waiting ever so patiently. Years of watching our fellow sisters remove clothing and undulate for the good of "story" has finally paid off, and we will have our day in the sun. Our fearless prince, director Steven Soderbergh, has reached into the depths of his vast (yet dwindling) bag-o-tricks and presented us with a simple masterpiece that has been on the tip of wagging tongues for months. Magic Mike is the product of a genius, and while it isn't a perfect film, Soderbergh's dedication to objectifying his male cast is reassuring and welcomed. It is about time ladies get a fluff movie that isn't about shopping, shoes, or relationships, but instead two hours of glorious female gaze. These men are hotter than this Texas drought I'm currently suffering through, and I appreciated every moment I had with them. But what makes Magic Mike something of dreams is the film's playful self-awareness that it is, in fact, meant to be a sort of man droolfest. Soderbergh knows what he's doing, and instead of alienating his audience he embraces them, offers up a beer, and presents six sexy, shirtless men on a platter for the world to see. I'm sure a discussable plot is in there somewhere (and I will leave that to our film review), but I am more interested in reflecting on a handful recent films that paved the way for this glorious moment of shirtless wonderment.
'The Hurt Locker' May Have Won the Oscar, But 'Point Break' is Kathryn Bigelow's Best Movie
Features By Nathan Adams on June 19, 2012 | Comments (5)Kathryn Bigelow is the sort of director who's been defying perceived gender limitations her entire career. The biggest of those accomplishments came when she became the first woman in history to win the Oscar for Best Director. Her Oscar-winning film, The Hurt Locker, was a tense look at military bomb defusers that created more movie chills than 99% of the horror films that get released in any given year. And it showcased a strong performance from Jeremy Renner that essentially made his career and catapulted him toward being one of the biggest stars in Hollywood. Before she ever won her Oscar, however, she was already defying expectations by shattering the myth that a woman couldn't direct kick-ass action movies. Her 1991 film Point Break is probably one of the most manly movies ever made. It's about extreme sports-loving adrenaline junky bank robbers, and it stars Keanu Reeves and Patrick Swayze as the cops and robbers. But, despite the fact that Point Break has a cult audience, it's viewed by most as being a guilty pleasure, a relic of the early '90s when cheesy action movies ruled the day. Maybe it's because Keanu is milking his dense, surfer persona for all it's worth, or because the movie is so unapologetically an action film, but people just don't take Point Break seriously these days. And that sucks, because it's really well-made.
Would 'Hook' Be a Classic On Par With 'The Wizard of Oz' If It Were Released in 1939?
Features By Nathan Adams on June 5, 2012 | Comments (19)Despite the fact that we're getting pretty close to its 75 year anniversary, The Wizard of Oz is just as recognized and celebrated today as it's ever been, and we'll probably still be showing it to our kids another 75 years from now. There's good reason for that. Its music is gorgeous and iconic, its cinematography is ageless, and its production design and in-living-color presentation must have been something to see back in 1939. But, in the grand scheme of things, is this really a movie that's so great that we should still be treating it with so much reverence? Or has watching The Wizard of Oz simply become a tradition we mindlessly follow, like always eating a turkey on Thanksgiving or puking up green food coloring on St Patrick's Day? Steven Spielberg's 1991 film Hook spins off of a legendary story, continues the tale of a handful of legendary characters, and was brought to us by maybe the most legendary director there's ever been… but to say that it isn't considered a legendary movie would be a pretty big understatement. It's got a tone right in line with the best of Spielberg's work, and it's photographed just as beautifully as anything else he's done, but ever since its release it has largely been considered a trifle, or even an annoyance. Critics have called Hook full of bad humor, overstuffed with exposition, and devoid of any of the magic of the original Peter Pan tale. Many consider it to be […]
Movie News After Dark: Everyone is Still Obsessing on 'The Avengers' and Tim Burton Sucks
Movie News By Nathan Adams on May 14, 2012 | Comments (4)What is Movie News After Dark? This week it's a series of second stringer fill-ins trying not to run things into the ground while regular columnist Neil Miller disappears for a while due to reasons both glamorous and mysterious (in true Lohan fashion, he's cited both "exhaustion" and "being dehydrated"). And today it's a laundry list of Internet people still crushing on Joss Whedon's superhero extravaganza, The Avengers, because Tim Burton's Dark Shadows shit the bed this weekend and we haven't had anything shiny to come along to steal away our fickle attentions yet. Let's get to it. The above image comes from an artist named Hannah, who has proven that her finger is firmly on the pulse of the Internet by paying tribute both to the death of beloved children's author Maurice Sendak as well as the work of beloved nerd-God Joss Whedon by mashing up Sendak's artistic style with the cast of The Avengers. Is cute, no?
'So, I Married an Axe Murderer' Does Racism Against the Scottish Right and 'Shrek' Just Annoys
Features By Nathan Adams on May 8, 2012 | Comments (4)Comedic actor Mike Meyers has had an interesting film career. On the one hand he can be considered an amazing success, because he has three huge franchises under his belt. On the other hand, he sometimes gets looked at as something of a failure, because everything he's done outside of those franchises has been less than stellar. The first two franchises Meyers launched were Wayne's World and Austin Powers; moneymaking juggernauts in their own rights for sure. But it was the third series of films he was involved in, the animated Shrek movies, that really broke the bank. This tale of an overgrown ogre finding true love managed to connect with children and parents alike, and the original spawned a series of sequels that broke all sorts of box office records and pushed mountains of merchandise. I'm sure Meyers was a rich man already, but Shrek made him very rich. One project that didn't do so well for the guy was So, I Married an Axe Murderer. It was Meyers' big followup to his breakthrough success with Wayne's World, the movie that could have seen him moving away from the heavy character work he did on Saturday Night Live and moving closer to taking more mainstream roles playing regular guys. Unfortunately it didn't even make a tenth of the money that Wayne's World pulled in, it's been largely forgotten over time, and Meyers hasn't been accepted in a role where he plays a regular guy since.
'The Avengers' Greatest Flaw: Since When Did Whedon Forget Women Should Talk To Each Other?
Features By Gwen Reyes on May 4, 2012 | Comments (22)To turn a phrase from my favorite family of Northerners, "Summer is Coming." And by coming, I mean today. After waiting what felt like an eternal Westeros winter, Marvel Studios will finally reward us with the release of Joss Whedon's take on The Avengers. If you haven't already, take a moment to read our review of the film, re-watch the trailers, and then meet me back here for some fireworks and sno-cones. People have been saying for weeks now that the film is pretty great, and thankfully that is true. Whedon built a rich world for these Marvel characters; putting so much detail into their stories and their lives that it's virtually impossible not to get wrapped up in the battle trickster Loki (Tom Hiddleston) wages with his brother Thor (Chris Hemsworth) and the rest of the Avengers gang. But there is one surprising element lacking from The Avengers—pivotal women sharing scenes. Shocking considering Whedon has always been an advocate for female role models and has fought TV and film studios for years over the way he prefers to portray women in his cannon. Yes, he had huge pressure on his shoulders to craft a stellar superhero film, but of all the things Whedon could have done wrong why did he have to separate his two major women characters from each other? It's a bit troubling to say the least.
Does 'What About Bob?' Really Play the Unwanted Visitor Angle Better Than 'You, Me and Dupree?'
Features By Nathan Adams on April 24, 2012 | Be the First To CommentThough Frank Oz hasn't meant much as a director in recent years, once upon a time he was a pretty successful go to guy. And his 1991 comedy, What About Bob?, is considered by many to be a modern comedy classic. His tale of an obsessive compulsive, overly dependent nut job and his doormat therapist going on vacation together is the sort of movie that friends constantly quote amongst one another, that fans revisit year after year. Is it really that great a comedy though, or is it more the case of a solid film getting propped up to mythic status due to the cult of Bill Murray deifying anything the sad-faced actor touches? On the flip side, You, Me and Dupree came and went in 2006 without much notice from the public, but not without earning some pretty damning reviews from critics and a decent amount of derision from Internet pundits. This comedy about a newlywed getting stuck with the task of taking in his wayward, eccentric best friend got called words like "lazy," "tired," and "obvious" in the film press. Whether it was due to the overexposure of Seth Rogen and Owen Wilson, who were each putting out about ten movies a year at this point, or the inclusion of Kate Hudson, whose name slotted in as the female lead is usually poison for comedies, people really responded to this one negatively. But is it really that bad, or was its release just a case of wrong movie, […]
Does 'Lonesome Jim' Do Hometown Haughtiness Better Than 'Young Adult'?
Features By Nathan Adams on April 10, 2012 | Comments (7)When writer Diablo Cody and director Jason Reitman teamed up on the 2007 film, Juno, the responses were mixed. Some people liked it quite a bit, not just because it was clever and quippy, but also because it presented a realistic, affecting look at the inherent drama of teenage pregnancy. Other people thought that it was painfully self-conscious in its hipness and insufferably annoying in its quirk, so they raged against any praise that came its way. Their next team-up, Young Adult, was different though. Not only did this look at a washed-up YA author traveling back to her home town in order to break up her high school sweetheart's marriage do well with Juno fans, it did quite well with those who couldn't stand Cody's writing up to that point, as well. Charlize Theron's painfully honest protagonist and Patton Oswalt's achingly tragic supporting character really hit home for most. On the other end of the spectrum, the 2005 film Lonesome Jim doesn't get very many mentions in a very many circles. On a couple levels, that makes sense. It's a micro-budget indie that doesn't provide any spectacle and didn't get much promotion, and it was only seen on a handful of screens during its theatrical release. On the other hand, there are several reasons why you'd think this movie would have gotten more play over time. It's one of the few films directed by Steve Buscemi, who everybody seems to love, it's got great lead performances by Casey Affleck […]
Movies to See Before the World Ends: Top Gun
Apocalypse Soon By Allison Loring on March 30, 2012 | Comments (2)The Mayans, the wise race of ancients who created hot cocoa, set December 21st, 2012 as the end date of their Calendar, which the intelligent and logical amongst us know signifies the day the world will end, presumably at 12:21:12am, Mountain Time. From now until zero date, we will explore the 50 films you need to watch before the entire world perishes. We don't have much time, so be content, be prepared, be entertained. The Film: Top Gun (1986) The Plot: Two renegade fighter pilots, the now iconic Maverick (Tom Cruise) and Goose (Anthony Edwards), are selected to hone their skills as pilots (and as men) at an elite program known as: Top Gun. Veritable underdogs, Maverick and Goose find themselves testing their talent against advisories like Ice Man (Val Kilmer), their charm against love interests like Charlie (Kelly McGillis) and learning from veteran pilots like Viper (Tom Skerritt), all while discovering what it truly means to be the best of the best.
'Fifty Shades of Grey,' the Mainstreaming of Fetish, and Why It's Okay to 'Like' Erotica
Features By Gwen Reyes on March 28, 2012 | Comments (2)The past few weeks have been incredibly exciting for anyone following the curious case of Christian Grey and Anastasia Steele, the sexually adventurous stars of E.L. James's erotic romance e-book Fifty Shades of Grey. What started off as a Twilight fan fiction has turned out to be at the center of an American literary explosion not seen since James's own inspiration was up for auction at Little, Brown, and Company in 2007. Now the foreign erotica import has not only been snatched up for seven figures by a literary arm of Random House Publishing known as Vintage (I am shocked, honestly), but as Kate Erbland mentioned Monday it has also been optioned by Focus Features and Universal. This has been a very busy month for the British author, and I don't even have the heart to hate her for it. As an unabashed fan of erotic romance novels, I was taken aback by the fervor this bondage novel has caused, but not for the reasons many of my colleagues and friends share. Although I do tend to favor BDSM in cinema, bondage in erotic literature has never been my favorite. I've often felt it to be far-fetched, overly clinical, and even a bit stale. I mean, as clinical and stale as sexual power play, leather cuffs, and object insertion can possibly be when story and character development take a back seat. This isn't to say something like Fifty Shades of Grey couldn't change my mind, because it instantly intrigued me […]
Overrated or Underpraised? 'Batman' vs. 'Batman: Under the Red Hood'
Features By Nathan Adams on March 27, 2012 | Comments (12)Tim Burton's Batman wasn't a movie, it was an event. It spawned a tidal wave of merchandise, video games, roller coasters, an animated series, a ridiculous music video, etc… He dropped that movie on the world like a bomb, and in many ways it could be considered the high point of his career. His artistic approach was finally paired with mainstream material, and his success there has propelled him to being one of the go-to money making directors in Hollywood. But, as an 8-year-old fan that was blown away by the gritty comic book take on the character that was developing throughout the 80s, the release of Batman is forever marked by me as a day of huge disappointment. I hated that boring, goofy movie. It was lamer than that show from the 60s I watched back when I was 6. Pathetic. Batman: Under the Red Hood was a straight to video cartoon that kind of gets lost in the sea of DC straight to video cartoons. Most of these movie are pretty strong, don't get me wrong, but they're strong with the caveat that they're just cartoons. They're for kids, but they're good enough to be enjoyed by adults, not good on the level of the best feature films. Under the Red Hood is a step above the rest though. Other than The Dark Knight, I would say that it's my favorite Batman thing that doesn't come from the medium of the page.
Movies to See Before the World Ends: Love Actually
Apocalypse Soon By Allison Loring on March 23, 2012 | Comments (4)The Mayans, the wise race of ancients who created hot cocoa, set December 21st, 2012 as the end date of their Calendar, which the intelligent and logical amongst us know signifies the day the world will end, presumably at 12:21:12am, Mountain Time. From now until zero date, we will explore the 50 films you need to watch before the entire world perishes. We don't have much time, so be content, be prepared, be entertained. The Film: Love Actually (2003) The Plot: Love Actually marked one of the first multi-plot story line films (that actually worked) which explored the different stages, phases and versions of love set against the magical background of Christmas time in London. From the young love of Sam (Thomas Sangster) and Joanna (Olivia Olson) to the forbidden love of David (Hugh Grant) and Natalie (Martine McCutcheon) to Daniel (Liam Neeson) dealing with heartbreak, Mark's (Andrew Lincoln) unrequited love for Juliet (Keira Knightley) and the blossoming relationship between John (Martin Freeman) and Judy (Joanna Page), each relationship depicted a different side and aspect of that crazy emotion that seems to drive and link us all. Love Actually showed audiences that in the end, all you need is love (despite the pain, anguish and complications that can come with it) and did so in a way that was sweet, humorous and touching.
Cinematic Sex, 'Kinky Cuties,' and Amorous Education with Filmmakers Julie Keck and Jessica King
Features By Gwen Reyes on March 22, 2012 | Be the First To CommentWoosh! You hear that sound? That's the air finally making its way back into my brain after 10 days of the taco-eating, famous people elbow-rubbing, beer-chugging, and back-to-back movie-watching one happens to experience at South by Southwest. I'm sure you've been reading the Rejects's extensive coverage of the all-encompassing festival of exhaustion (even I have some opinions to share shortly), and have been living a bit vicariously through each of us. Let me tell you now, it was just as great as you would imagine. Being a Texas native, SXSW is one of my absolute favorite film festivals, and I'm lucky that I've had the opportunity to watch it grow to some pretty epic proportions over the past eight years. SXSW Film prides itself on having a bountiful lineup of films from the tiny directorial debuts to the star-laden big budget features audiences stand in line for over two hours to see. While it does succeed at being a taste marker for new talent, the festival does have a tendency to execute lackluster panels. Of course, this isn't a huge priority for the over 20,000 people attending, but for a lady obsessed with sex-positivity in cinema I have to admit I was over the moon thrilled when I discovered the fest had finally booked a sexy-time movie panel. Brought together by the fabulous Lisa Vandever, director of the all erotica film festival Cinekink, the "Bringing Sexy Back: Where's the Line Today?" panel introduced me to a pair of directors who […]
I'm not any sort of sports guy at all. Corner me in a bar and try to talk to me about last night's big game and I'm going to stare back at you blankly and stupidly. Invite me to your Super Bowl party and I'm going to politely decline for fear of dying of boredom. But even I understand the appeal of baseball: the lazy pace, the fresh-cut grass, the hot dogs and peanuts, the crack of the bat. Hollywood has a long tradition of movies that have tapped into this seemingly universal love, but ever since it was released, the Kevin Costner-starring Field of Dreams has been considered by most to be the king of the mountain. And while pretty much everyone has seen Field of Dreams at some point in their lives, or at least understands that it's the source of the, "If you build it, they will come," quote, almost no one I know has ever seen Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck's 2008 film Sugar. It got a brief release in New York and L.A., and then was shunted off to DVD without playing for anyone else. That's a shame, because this tale about a young Dominican prospect trying to improve his station in the world by making it to the majors is my favorite film about the game.
Updating TV Theme Songs For The Big Screen – Which Catchy Tunes Do It Right?
Aural Fixation By Allison Loring on March 15, 2012 | Be the First To CommentBringing a beloved (or at least nostalgia inducing) television show to the big screen is no easy undertaking (especially for shows that have been off the air for a few good years.) The task of adapting existing material (whether it be from a book series, a comic book or a well-known public figure) can be daunting as you hope to live up to expectations while also trying cultivate new fans. When it comes to turning a television show into a film, having a few well placed cameos from the original cast, rooting the film in a story true to that show's world and (seeing as many of these shows were comedies) not letting the film version take itself too seriously seem to be the keys to these adaptation's success. With Phil Lord and Chris Miller's updated 21 Jump Street taking to the silver screen this weekend, I realized that the one thing all these shows have in common (regardless of when they aired, who starred in them or what they were about) is also the one element that many television shows on air today have done away with – a catchy theme song.
Over/Under: 'Midnight in Paris' vs. 'Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure'
Features By Nathan Adams on March 13, 2012 | Comments (1)Woody Allen is a legendary filmmaker, to be certain. But he's also a filmmaker who is perceived to have had a golden age, a period where the movies he made were head and shoulders above the things that he makes now. That's not such a great place for an artist to be, but Woody managed to shut up a lot of his critics with Midnight in Paris. It's not only one of Allen's most financially successful films, it's also one of his most critically acclaimed, and it's been held up as proof that we might be in the midst of a Woody comeback. Is it really worthy of all the hype though? Lots of people love this movie—like me—but it's also a film that has glaring flaws. What is it about Midnight in Paris that makes our Internet culture, that is so quick to tear everything down with snark, give it such an easy pass? Back in 1989 Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure was also a huge success. It made so much money that it spawned not only a sequel, but also an animated series, video games, and who knows how many other kinds of merchandise that time forgot. Yet, despite this success, it's not a film that many people take seriously. There's a love for it still, but one that seems more ironic than anything else. Why is that so, when there's so much respect for the other big genre hits of the 80s? Why doesn't this film get […]
Found Footage Films Are Sans Score and Soundtrack, But Do You Miss Them?
Aural Fixation By Allison Loring on March 8, 2012 | Comments (7)Who wouldn't love to have their own personal soundtrack playing wherever they went? An epic theme song that announced your arrival when you walked into a room or a electric guitar riff whenever you might need an extra rush of adrenaline – these touches would make every move you made seem movie worthy. And sure, you can throw in your iPod ear buds as you walk around town or crank up your car stereo as you hit the gas to get a similar effect, but without having someone follow you around with a boom box, having a personal soundtrack is not very likely because (unfortunately) that is not how things work in real life. In normal, everyday life music isn't always playing, underscoring our more emotional moments and highlighting the intense ones. With the emergence of found footage films bringing a new style of filmmaking to the industry (with mixed results and reactions), the idea that these films are made up of footage anyone could capture if they were to pick up a camera and hit record leaves these films (as is the case in life) without much music. Real life is full of ambient noises, awkward pauses and people accidentally talking over one another so a film capturing these moments would break that unedited feeling if it had perfectly scored music fleshing out scenes because that is simply not true to reality.
33 Things We Learned From the 'Princess Bride' Commentary Tracks
Commentary Commentary By Nathan Adams on March 8, 2012 | Comments (4)When Jeremy said he needed someone to fill in on Commentary Commentary so that he could focus his energies primarily on South by Southwesting, I simply replied, "As you wish." But then I was left with a conundrum. What movie should I watch the commentary track for? After rifling through my DVD collection I ended up with a handful of possibilities, and I wound up choosing The Princess Bride for one reason: when else would I ever listen to the commentary tracks on this movie, if not now? The Princess Bride is so much fun, such a whimsical experience, that if you're going to put the DVD on, you want to watch the movie. You don't want to hear some old guy rambling over all of the classic lines. Consequently, this thing has been sitting on my shelf essentially since DVDs began, and I still haven't listened to either the Rob Reiner or the William Goldman commentaries. So, here we go, I'll take the hit and give them a listen, pick out all the interesting stuff, and you can go about your usual business of properly soaking in all the action, adventure, and romance the next time you need to get your Princess Bride fix.

These pans are really small, and will only hold part of a batch of cornbread even using 2 of them. I have not used them yet, but they appear to be well seasoned and ready to use. I gave some thought to sending them back, but decided to keep them and try to use them with a cornbread mix.
