Enchilada Meatballs Recipe
I've had this recipe so long that I don't remember who gave it to me. Before I retired, these tasty little treats were popular during snack time at work. They're a good way to use up leftover corn bread.—Mearl Harris, West Plains, Missouri
- 2 cups crumbled corn bread
- 1 can (10 ounces) enchilada sauce, divided
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1-1/2 pounds ground beef
- 1 can (8 ounces) tomato sauce
- 1/2 cup shredded Mexican cheese blend
- In a large bowl, combine the corn bread, 1/2 cup enchilada sauce and salt. Crumble beef over mixture; mix well. Shape into 1-in. balls.
- Place meatballs on a greased rack in a shallow baking pan. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 18-22 minutes or until meat is no longer pink; drain.
- Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, heat tomato sauce and remaining enchilada sauce. Drain meatballs; place in a serving dish. Top with sauce and sprinkle with cheese. Serve with toothpicks. Yield: about 4-1/2 dozen.

The man charged with the killing of Roxanne Ellis and Michelle Abdill of Medford, Oregon, has said he killed them because he hates homosexuals and bisexuals. The recent development in the case has been reported in the Associated Press and local Oregon media Aug. 21. The statements by the alleged killer, Robert Acremant, 27, have refocused attention on the case and reopened wounds in the Medford community.
Acremant previously said it was a botched burglary, but in a Aug. 8 letter obtained by the Associated press, Acremant wrote from the Jackson County Jail: "Now I just don't care what people think, including the jury. They can kill me for all I care. I've never liked life anyway."
In the letter, Acremant also said he killed a man last year in a drunken rage after the man made a pass at him.
Ellis and Abdill, an openly lesbian couple and local activists, were murdered "execution style" last December in Medford. Their bodies were found bound and gagged in a pick-up truck. Soon after his arrest, Acremant made a variety of statements regarding the killings, including at first that it was a botched robbery. Later he said he knew the women were lesbians and that it made it "easier" for him to kill them.
Although Medford law enforcement has always kept open the possibility of a hate crime motivation for the killings, debate has ensued, especially in some gay and lesbian media and other parts of the community, around the actual motive for the murders.
Following is a statement by the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force (NGLTF), attributable to Melinda Paras, executive director. Soon after the bodies were discovered, NGLTF appealed to the Department of Justice for a federal response to the possible hate crime:
"The recent statement by Robert Acremant indicating he killed Roxanne Ellis and Michelle Abdill because they were lesbians refocuses the spotlight on this troubled case and the possible hate crime motivation behind the murders. Regardless of Mr. Acremant's rantings and attention-getting tactics, numerous facts in the case have all along informed our suspicions of the anti-gay bias motivation for the murders.
The facts include: Ellis and Abdill were proud and highly visible activists in the local gay, lesbian and bisexual community. The accused killer knew they were lesbians. This made it "easier," in his own words, to kill them. He killed them because, in his own words, they were homosexual. He has admitted to inventing the robbery motive for fear of reprisal.
This story is not about Robert Acremant and his demons. It is about Roxanne and Michelle and their deaths. They were intentionally and methodically executed by a killer who admits to destroying them because they were lesbians. The evidence in this case and the larger social and political climate for gays, lesbians, bisexuals and transgender people speaks to the constant threat of hate-motivated violence perpetrated against all of us.
New confessions of the murders being a hate crime and not a "botched robbery" are not a surprise to us. This has been a primary suspicion since the first hour the bodies were found.
In fact, the recent developments in this case point to concerns around another case now being investigated by the Department of Justice. NGLTF has asked the DOJ to consider anti-lesbian bias as a possible motivation in the slayings of Julianne Williams and Lollie Winans. The two women were found murdered in Virginia's Shenandoah National Park on June 1, 1996. Although the Medford case and the Virginia case are not connected, activists fear homophobia as a motivation for both tragedies.
Last December we asked Janet Reno, U.S. Attorney General, to monitor the situation in Oregon and lend assistance to local law enforcement in assuring the collection of all information necessary to determine whether or not this was a hate crime. To reinforce our sense of urgency in this case, and to call attention to the constant threat of violence gay people must live under, we have again notified the DOJ of these recent developments as a follow-up to our previous request for a federal response.
We still may not have all the facts in the deaths of Roxanne and Michelle, and we may never have all the facts. We can not bring back Michelle and Roxanne, but we can keep the legacy of their work alive. We call on people of conscious, community leaders and the media to affirm a community in which acts of intolerance, big or small, will be condemned."

I was able to reduce the clutter in my garage by installing a series of hooks from the support beams. They were basic metal hooks that I got from Lowes.
Now we hang all of the bikes from the hooks and I keep my golf bag on one as well. It frees up some floor space and we are not always tripping over the bikes any more.

BMW Motorsport Director Mario Theissen believes the adoption of Kinetic Energy Recovery Systems (KERS) next year will see Formula One racing assume a leading role in the advancement of hybrid technologies for everyday road cars.
From the start of next season, the Formula One regulations allow for the use of brake energy regeneration systems to increase the output and efficiency of the cars. Like the majority of their rivals, BMW Sauber are working flat out on their KERS, but Theissen feels it will be not just the F1 drivers who benefit, but also the average motorist.
At BMW we have always used the Formula One project as a technology laboratory for series production - with KERS this approach takes on a whole new dimension, said Theissen. KERS will see Formula One take on a pioneering role for series production technologies going forward.
F1 will give a baptism of fire to innovative concepts whose service life and reliability have not yet reached the level required for series production vehicles, and their development will be driven forward at full speed.
KERS will enable the regeneration and storage of braking energy, which will then be available on tap as an extra source of power under acceleration to complement the output of a Formula One cars V8 engine. Flexibility in the regulations will allow for either electric or mechanical solutions, with BMW Sauber opting for the former.
The 2009 BMW Sauber F1.09 will be equipped with a hybrid system consisting of a combination of electric motor and generator, the requisite power electronics and an energy storage module. In accordance with the regulations, this will store enough energy under braking to provide an additional 60 kW of output over around 6.5 seconds of acceleration.
BMW already use a brake energy regeneration system in a large number of their production cars. Although their Formula One KERS will not be dissimilar in principle, its efficiency and packaging - the complete system will weigh under 40 kg - should be in a different league.
We are standing at the threshold between a conventional package of engine and independent transmission and an integrated drive system. The power density of the KERS components will far exceed that of todays hybrid vehicles, added Theissen.

As I was poking around in the weekly flyer from Future Shop, I saw something that just might be fantastic news for all the Google Android fans in Canada. Want to get the 'droid, but don't want to break the bank? You might want to head over to Future Shop to grab your HTC Magic smartphone, since they're selling it for $0.00.
You can probably figure out the catch. In order to get your hands on teh touchscreen-only HTC Magic, you'll need to latch onto a new three-year service agreement with Rogers Wireless and you probably need a data plan to qualify for that price too.
In case you didn't catch it the first few times around, the HTC Magic smartphone gets a 528MHz processor, a 3.2-inch touchscreen display, microSD expansion, 3.2-megapixel camera, GPS with Google Maps, Bluetooth 2.0+EDR, and integrated WiFi.
Yes, I know it's not the Motorola Droid. It's not the HTC Hero either, but the HTC Magic still seems like a pretty solid offering. Interestingly enough, I only see the $0 price point in the flyer. Looking at the product page itself, the phone is still listed at $79.99 with contract.
What a piece of crap. I bought it and must have spent 20 hours min with Rogers tech people to get Name display to work. After 20 hours of being sent from one department to another I was told this phone does not support Name Display. Who buys a new phone that does not display names??? The worst part of it all is that virtually no one at Rogers seems to know this and had they I would never have bought the phone in the first place but at the very least it would have saved me 20 hours of grief.
Quess what? Voice mail doesnt work either. Now, this being another NEW issue with the phone, I have yet to find out if the phone is capable of it or whether this is strickly an issue with my phone. I have spent 5 hours and numerous calls to Rogers over this and they are not able to rectify the problem. I had to set up the account with my land line and I can retrieve messages from a land line but absolutely can not access my messages from the cell phone.

« The Rocky Horror Picture Show (Classic Film Pick) | Main | Psycho (Classic Film Pick) »
An American Affair
Screenwriter Alex Metcalf sets his shallow JKF assassination think piece in 1963, on the verge of the sexual revolution that the film's President-screwing, artiste mole Catherine Caswell (Gretchen Mol) flouts for her 15-year-old Catholic boy neighbor Adam (Cameron Bright). Like the rest of Washington's intelligentsia, Adam's journalist parents (Noah Wyle and Perrey Reeves) know she's damaged goods when Catherine moves in across the street from their Georgetown house. Adam spies on the frequently nude Catherine, opens her mail, and ingratiates himself to help with her garden in the back--innuendo intended--that she insists he rip up completely because "form is dead." Poker-faced Bright repeats the meaningless mantra, that the filmmakers embrace too much in their loose narrative, like he's reciting toothpaste contents. Acting wet in a rainstorm is not Cameron Bright's strong suit. Catherine's CIA op ex-husband Graham (Mark Pellegrino) lurks around for tidbits he can pass along to CIA Deep throat would-be Lucian Carver (James Rebhorn). Adam's vicarious sexual and political thrills that he gets from various bouts of eavesdropping and voyeurism do little to translate the vague intricacies of Kennedy assassination conspiracy that the film asserts. Even the famous M Street stairs from "The Exorcist" are out of place in the climax of this lightweight movie.

Selena Gomez's Sari Pic — Shows Off Bindi & Sexy Waves In Her Hair
Selena has posted some amazing Instagram photos lately but we definitely think that this is one of the best! Selena's Indian inspired look definitely had us taking a second glance.
Not only was the star in an beautiful orange sari, but she sported her now signature bindi. Selena's bindi love definitely started when her hit song "Come and Get It" came out, and we are glad to see that her love of this Indian accessory is still going strong! Both of these elements made for an exotic and gorgeous Insta-upload, but it was her fun waves that we loved the most.
To get Selena's amazing waves, our favorite product is Suave Professional's Natural Infusion Seaweed All Day Body Leave-In Formula. This product is amazing for adding bounce and definition to waves without making your hair feel sticky or crunchy.
Natural Infusion also takes advantage of all of the benefits of using dye and paraben-free natural ingredients like seaweed and lotus blossom.This product can be applied to wet or dry hair and will guarantee great hair all day so you can take your own amazing Instagram photos, just like Selena!
So, what do you think, HollywoodLifers? Do you love Selena's sexy waves?

The Roving Eye by Anthony Haden-Guest |
Despite a string of successes that ranges from a sold-out show at Deitch Projects in January 1999 to a glowing pictorial in the current Vanity Fair, painter Cecily Brown has stage fright. After finishing her installation at Gagosian on Wooster Street the other night, she was throwing off enough nervous energy to power a small generator. "Some of them are not the paintings I thought I had painted," she said looking over the canvases in the tranquil gallery light. She eyed one. "This is the one I was terrified was not going to be dry." Cecily Brown, a Briton, first came to New York as an exchange student in her early 20s. "I came in 1992 and spent six months here," she said. "And I've never felt happier anywhere. It was totally romantic and ridiculous. I just fell in love with it straight away." This was a time when painting was not something an artist was supposed to be doing. "I gave up painting," she says. "I was completely questioning painting, and deciding it was pretty much over. All the work that I liked was odd, mixed media stuff, like the kind of thing that Mike Kelley makes. I went through a phase of making really bad semi-conceptual work." It may be worth mentioning that when Brown was 21 she learned that she was the natural daughter of David Sylvester, one of Britain's most admired art critics and the author of a classic text on Francis Bacon. She came back to live in New York five years ago. Why? "It's not really about Not There. It's about Here. But I did feel that my work was completely wrong for that time in London. By the time I had left the Slade in '93, Damien Hirst was everywhere. I'm not a YBA." The Slade is a venerable London art college and YBA is common art-world shorthand for Young British Artists -- the generation that exploded into prominence in the 1990s. "I have the same background as the YBAs. I grew up with all the same influences. In a way, I don't think the sensibility is all that different. But the means are so different. Mainly it was about wanting to be here. But I certainly found it very, very difficult to paint in London, without constantly having to justify it. I felt that you couldn't be more deeply unfashionable if you tried. Without being that conscious of it, you really became fearful of making a splash. Anything gestural, anything that might be expressive, anything where irony wasn't the number one ingredient." In London, she thinks, she would only have gotten a show at a gallery that specialized in figurative work -- a kind of post-post Impressionist ghetto, in fact. In New York, she showed at Deitch Projects, which presents plenty of tough-minded work. "I do think context is everything," Brown says. "Which is why having my first and second shows at Deitch was so essential. "Somehow it is conceptual and hip to be painting, rather than retro. Like with John Currin at Andrea Rosen -- I remember Andrea saying something about how the wrong kind of people were wanting John's work at first. That was why it was important I show at Deitch -- anywhere else and I would still be a waitress. I would be on the job right now." You would have had Cecily Brown at your table, by the way, at the Liquor Store in Tribeca or at the Ear Inn. Now you'll find her at Gagosian. But there may be a queue. "Oh, Lord! I wish" a gallerista said, fervently. Well, no, the Robert Miller in question was not the duty-free billionaire father of three modish daughters but the resourceful art dealer, and the confusion was understandable. Miller has recently moved from the Fuller building on 57th Street to a tall-ceilinged new abode at 526 West 26th Street and this opening party was for Harper's Bazaar, the fashion magazine, which has been spendidly revamped by Kate Betts, so art-worlders were pretty thin on the ground compared with fashion folk and those whose names are always printed in bold face, like Tina Brown, Diane von Furstenberg, Anna Wintour, Martha Stewart, Uma Thurman, etc. The following night was the actual art-world opening. It was as if the gallery had been bewitched, and been through the transformation scene in a pantomime, but in reverse, so that where there had been flowers, madness, revelry and (I am reliably informed) excesses in the inner offices were now filing cabinets and banks of Dell computers. The opening was for photographer Todd Eberle and the singing sculptures of the late Harry Bertoia and there were actual artists there -- Jeff Koons, Ed Moses, Donald Baechler, Philip Pearlstein, Alex Katz and Roberto Juarez and the great printmaker, Alexander Henrici, to name a handful. Oh yes, and a few bold-faces, too, like Graydon Carter and Anh Duong, among the few revenants from the night before. Well, I was wrong, and New York Street Art is proving it. Those who praised the graffiti writers of yesteryear -- including Norman Mailer, Claes Oldenburg and, um, okay, myself -- have been very quiet about the folk who are scratching their annoying tags on every subway window and (many) doors with various sorts of glass-cutters. Perhaps Tony Shafrazi will discover another Futura 2000, Daze, Crash or Keith Haring amongst them? Even more annoying are the writers who are emulating Jenny Holzer or Samo at street level. One particularly busy artist writes Hallmark-card-ready messages on sidewalks in chalk in firm clear capitals. His recent contribution on my corner was typically brilliant.

It Rhymes With Lust
- Posted by Johanna on July 24, 2007 at 6:38 am
- Category: Graphic Novel Reviews
- CREDITS: written by Drake Waller; art by Matt Baker and Ray Osrin
- PUBLISHER: Dark Horse Books; $14.95 US
In 1950, when this graphic novel was first published, It Rhymes With Lust was a much racier title than it seems today. To modern ears, the reaction might be a mild annoyance — What rhymes with lust? Why not come out and say what you're hinting at? Then, the spicy allusion promised a whole different kind of world, one driven by the kind of base motivations polite people didn't even know about, let alone voice.
The answer is Rust Masson, a femme fatale with more curves than a speedway and a fearlessness in using sex appeal to get whatever she wants. She's summoned old flame Hal Weber to Copper City to be her pet newspaper editor. She's just been widowed, and she wants to keep control of her husband's mines, money, and political machinery. Hal's weak when she turns on the charm, although as he finds out more about her schemes he begins to rediscover moral qualms. He's assisted in this reawakening by his growing love for Rust's stepdaughter Audrey.
The heavily narrated story is credited to Drake Waller, a pseudonym for Arnold Drake (co-creator of Deadman and the Doom Patrol) and Leslie Waller. The moody illustrations were drawn by Matt Baker, one of the preeminent "good girl" artists of the period, with inks by Ray Osrin. They use a technique that outlines background items with grey dotted lines instead of solid black ones, bringing the key elements in each panel into sharper focus.
The language is rich and evocative, with lengthy captions. For instance, when Hal first sees Rust, on her way from her husband's funeral, we read, "As Hal saw her face again, a thousand shimmering dreams flooded over him. Rust… soft, feline Rust, not a day older. And as he watched, a feeling out of the past gripped at him, a feeling of fear and hate… and love." As in Hammett-style thrillers, we're told how he feels so we can experience the emotional rush as well.
With Baker's gorgeous art, we can't blame him. Rust has a face to make vows to, veiled from the nose down as she plays the grieving widow, but it can't hide her greed and self-involvement. She arranges herself just so on a reclining couch before seeing Hal again for the first time, setting the stage to play the scene as she wants it, relying on his inability to resist her physical lure.
Audrey's similarly attractive, but as the good girl, she isn't allowed to flaunt it (although Baker does what he can with sweaters and clingy skirts). She's more of a symbol than a character, representing Hal's redemption into a good citizen. The sinning makes for a good story, with plenty of canoodling and threats and explosions, but by the end, the virtue of right must be reestablished, and the importance of choosing "true love" over easy virtue, or as the text has it, "Rust's warm embraces and passionate kisses". It's a classic virgin/whore contrast.
For all that they pretended to explore the seedy side of life, pulp fiction like this was firmly on the old-fashioned side when it came to the message. There's a lot of tawdry excitement to be had while getting there, though, including a girl-girl slapfight. (At times, characterization takes a backseat to creating some dynamite visuals.) If you've ever enjoyed, or wanted to, a film noir starring Robert Mitchum or Barbara Stanwyck, you should give this ride a try.
Dark Horse collected the book under single covers after Fantagraphics reprinted the whole thing in The Comics Journal #277. The magazine also provides a look at "where the industry and artform have come from, and where they're going, including a history of the Direct Market, and interviews with a wide array of creators and publishers", while the book version was authorized and includes a new introduction by Drake.
The Daily Cross Hatch's review has a comment by Weller's daughter, and Mark Evanier remembers Arnold Drake.

What Really Happened in the Garden of Eden? Part 1
10 Jun 2013
Most of us are familiar with the story of Adam and Eve in the garden of Eden. (If you'd like a refresher, you can read it here.) Adam and Eve disobeying God is usually what gets our attention in this story, and rightfully so. Disobeying God is a serious matter.
But have you ever wondered what was so bad about eating the fruit of the tree of knowledge? How could that lead to the fall of all mankind? And when God told Adam and Eve not to eat of that tree, was He testing them, just to see if they would obey Him?
Since Adam and Eve disobeyed God and ate of that tree, God couldn't simply look the other way. He had to punish them and banish them from the garden.
But is that the whole story?
The bigger problem
Suppose a mother tells her child, "Don't drink from this bottle. It's dangerous." She says that because the bottle contains something poisonous. Is that commandment just a test? Of course it isn't. The mother's commandment is actually a loving warning. If the child disobeys and drinks from the bottle, certainly that disobedience is a problem. But now the child has been poisoned—and that's a much bigger problem.
This is very similar to the situation in the garden with Adam and Eve. The problem wasn't just their disobedience. The bigger problem was what they took in.
Two trees
God's command to Adam and Eve, who represented all mankind, was to protect them from eating of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. That poisonous tree represented Satan, the source of death.
Satan, God's enemy, wanted Adam and Eve to disobey God because he knew that by eating of the tree of knowledge, they would take in his evil nature and be corrupted by sin and death forever.
But besides the tree of knowledge, another tree was also in the garden—the tree of life. That tree represented God, the source of life. God wanted man to partake of the tree of life to receive Him, the divine life.
But God wanted man to use his free will to choose Him. Man could listen to God's warning or not. It was up to him.
What Adam and Eve took in
Satan came to Eve disguised as a serpent and spoke craftily to her. Twisting God's words and even speaking outright lies, he insinuated that God was withholding something good from the couple. He made Eve doubt God's good heart for them.
"And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was to be desired to make oneself wise, she took of its fruit and ate; and she also gave some to her husband with her, and he ate." (Gen. 3:6)
By disobeying God, Adam and Eve took in the poisonous nature of the devil, represented by that tree. The consequences of what they did were profound, affecting every one of us even today.
Be sure to read the second post of this series to find out what these consequences were, how they affect our lives today, and what is God's way of dealing with them.

- 1/4 pound(s) sliced bacon, cut crosswise into 1/2-inch strips
- 2 large onions, sliced thin
- 1/2 teaspoon(s) salt
- 6 scallions, white bulbs cut into 1/2-inch lengths, green tops chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, sliced thin
- 1.75 cup(s) canned low-sodium chicken broth or homemade stock
- 3/4 pound(s) spaghettini
- 1/2 cup(s) grated Parmesan
- In a large deep frying pan, cook the bacon over moderate heat until crisp. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon. Pour off all but 3 tablespoons of the bacon fat or, if you don't have 3 tablespoons, add enough olive oil to make up the amount. Put the pan over moderately low heat. Add the onions and 1/4 teaspoon of the salt. Cook, covered, for 5 minutes.
- Uncover the pan and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the onions are golden, 10 to 15 minutes. Stir in the scallion bulbs and the garlic; cook 2 minutes longer, stirring occasionally. Add the broth and bring to a simmer.
- Meanwhile, in a large pot of boiling, salted water, cook the spaghettini until almost done, about 9 minutes. Drain the spaghettini and add it to the simmering broth. Cook until the pasta is just done, about 3 minutes. Stir in the Parmesan and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt. Toss with the bacon and scallion greens.
Tips & Techniques
Scallions, also known as green onions, are essentially an herb and a vegetable in one. The bulbs can be used like a regular onion, while the green tops make a great flavoring and garnish. In fact, the chopped tops can be used as a substitute for chives.
Wine recommendation: There are no tomatoes in this sauce, but you'll still want a red wine the rich Parmesan needs the tannins to provide balance. Go for a basic (not Riserva) Chianti and enjoy its bright, slightly bitter-cherry and earth flavors.

Review: A BRONY TALE
By Witney Seibold on July 3, 2014
Brent Hodge's new documentary film seeks – somewhat successfully – to demystify the mystifying phenomenon of Bronies.
Bronies are adult male fans of the 2010 cartoon show My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic, currently running in its fifth season. Bronies (a portmanteau of "bro" and "ponies"), a vocal subset of nerd culture, are a lot like Furries in the way they are regarded by the nerd community; that is: most people react with a mixture of confusion and derision. Why are grown men so actively and passionately following an animated television show so clearly geared toward young girls? What is it about this particular television show that it has spawned a cult so large? The Bronies are legion. They hold their own annual conventions, produce copious amounts of fan art, and wax deeply emotional about how much joy and comfort they take from this show.
Many Bronies are interviewed in Brent Hodge's new documentary film A Brony Tale, a good-natured and sympathetic movie that may not fully unknot the riddle of the Brony phenomenon, but certainly elicits a weird, disarming sympathy for a fan movement that is quick to acknowledge its own baffling qualities. Here's what I have learned about Bronies from this film: they are all typically pretty shy, many of them are a bit awkward, and they are all, in their own quiet way, pretty open about their love for this sweet TV show. They are also a bit defensive about their passion, perhaps half-acknowledging that their chosen object of fandom is decidedly childish and uncool.
In short, Bronies are a new vanguard of nerds. They are using their fandom as a form of identity, and are working their way through a shared crucible of mockery. This is what nerd-dom has always been about. Or at least (speaking as a 35-year-old) that's what it was before the internet and the notion of a "virtual community" could bring nerds together, feeding the fires of fandom until it was not only acceptable, but expected. Bronies are essentially riding the line – even within the nerd community – between derision (for liking something so childish) and bravery (for declaring that love, despite the derision).
Hodge clearly thinks they are brave people, and allows them to speak openly about their own phenomenon. Hodge does not look down on them, or even keeps them at arm's length. The outsider in his film – and the film's functional narrator – is voice actress Ashleigh Bell, who plays two key roles on Friendship Is Magic. Bell is not a Brony – she's just an actress – but she is thrust into the central nest of her fans when she agrees to attend her first Brony convention. After the con, she seems a bit overwhelmed, finally admitting that she didn't know the true depths of love people had for this show. I didn't. I'm not sure many non-Bronies really do either.
A pair of psychologists appear in the film to spitball a little bit, trying to unpack the phenomenon. They do come to one conclusion: that widespread social movements tend to be reactions to worldwide tragedy. In the wake of 9/11, young people didn't unite as hippies or as beatniks or as punkers, but as fanboys. I see some credence to this. The world of fandom offers fantasy safety within social chaos. One word they never use, however, is "infantilization." There has always been a childish edge to a lot of nerd love; most objects of nerd fandom tend to be based on, continuations of – or at the very least couched within – things we consumed as kids or as teens. Bronies just take that notion and shift it backward a few years. As anger becomes more overt, people begin to revert. Something like Friendship Is Magic appears to be gentle, colorful, unsophisticated, and appealing to very young children. The men who enjoy it, then, are seeking a childish antidote to the world's anger.
There seems to be more of an edge to this new 2010 iteration of Hasbro's My Little Pony (the original toy-based phenomenon from 1983 was entirely edge-free and more pointedly marketing-based), but it's still very, very gentle. I should perhaps admit that still haven't seen a single episode of My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic, and I still don't want to; I had enough of the Ponies the first time around.
So A Brony Tale didn't fully unpack and analyze the Brony phenomenon. What it did was offer a venue for earnest testimonials. If you don't "get" Bronies, you may still not by the end of the film. The movement is still largely mystifying to me, but – as someone who attended Star Trek conventions – I can at least recognize the color of passion, even if I can't identify the shape.
Another Brony doc? The one wasn't enough to cover this already?
No documentary is comprehensive.
A guy dressing as a girl pony is bestial transvestitism. I think Eddie Izzard would agree, that's the definition of a male equestrian.
Also there are quite a few bronies who are Marines or Special Forces currently serving in war hot zones, and who have probably killed better men than you.-
Why are you being so confrontational? There was nothing in the review that makes fun of bronies, or of their fandom. The reviewer admits that he doesn't get it, but he doesn't accuse the guys who do of being lesser men, much less implying violence toward them. Hell, soldiers in war zones can probably benefit from the mellowing influence of MLP more than most.
"There might be more of an edge to this new 2010 iteration of Hasbro's My Little Pony (the original toy-based phenomenon from 1983 was entirely edge-free and more pointedly marketing-based), but it's still very, very gentle. I should perhaps admit that still haven't seen a single episode of My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic, and I still don't want to; I had enough of the Ponies the first time around."
So you just assume that the "edge" is gentle without even seeing the show? It's one of the more unique cartoons I've seen.
Will go see this at the local cinema. -
The old version of mlp was awful, commercial filth. Mlpfim is very good. I'm a 44 year old Brony. I started watching it with my grand daughter a couple of years ago when I was her full time caregiver. The show is wholesome, adventurous, funny, and frankly, in spite of being a cartoon, it's better than most prime time TV today.
There's a lot of stuff to unpack when it comes to Bronies but they aren't going to be brought up in any of these cloying documentaries that paint the entire fan base as nothing but grown men with an innocent love for a show aimed at little girls.
There's plenty of nasty groups who have attached themselves to this show's fan base. Porn is one thing but then there's the misogyny from Pro-Men's Rights advocates who terrorize any woman who dare say anything negative about the show.
The real story isn't about grown men obsessed over My Little Pony but the sick and disturbed individuals who also call themselves Bronies.-
Would just like to point out that most bronies, myself included, absolutely despise the dark sides of the community. I've yet to see misogyny or anyone driving out women, though, really don't know where you're getting that…. I really don't care if somebody doesn't like the show, some people enjoy it, others don't. Not a big deal.
So much hate on the internet about this. There is a group of people called the "Anti-brony Brotherhood" that seeks to harm those that are into the culture. Wow. Much hate. Very Sad.
It is sad. There was even a couple kids that made the news recently that were verbally and physically bullied because they were bronies. Heck, I there was reportedly even a completely fabricated story at one of the brony conventions to make bronies look bad.
It's sad, because this version of My Little Pony is actually a really good show. It has great morals. It's not for everyone, but to bully teens and kids for liking it is just ridiculous.
Hey Witney – Watch 5 episodes before you write about a show and its fans next time okay? It's called "doing research" and "being informed," two really important activities that I highly recommend before expressing an opinion. Don't feel bad. I have yet to read a SINGLE critique of the Brony culture where the author has watched the show. You obviously assume you know what's on the show. You don't- trust me on this – and watch the show – 5 episodes. You'll thank me later.

Picante Comic Book from Mexico.
Well, Mr. "Hombre estrenimiento al norte de la frontera" (Constipated man north of the border) I happen to think this a lovely little digest, and spicy hot too! From now on, you should keep your value judgements to yourself. Wiki is for facts, not criticism. If you can't stand the picante, get out of the comic book kitchen.
I really don't know anything about Picante except that this issue is from 1954 and it is pretty. Two stories, each fantastic, I think. (I'm not going to retype the captions into a translator to find out for sure) but there's tons of hot dames AND a dude getting his head smashed with a ROCK. What ELSE do you need in a comic?
The first story is "Fruta Verde" which means green fruit. The other story is Un Desliz by Guido Lutti. Un desliz is a "slip up" which I take to mean a mistake…as the babe isn't wearing a slip.
Great stuff.

For those interested in a similar group, feel free to take a look at this Face Book group:
This is a heads up for my skills DVDs being no longer available very soon. The company who sells these take them off the market if they are not selling over a period of 240 days, mine have not sold over the past 240 days despite the excellent reviews. So if you were thinking of getting any, now is the time!
Muzzle-Loaders and More will be the first to go because it has not sold over the past 244 days. Believe me, I make no profit from these DVDs if you include my time. I could order one myself to keep these going, but frankly that would reduce my earnings to zero and if they are just not selling I don't see the point.
Regards to all, Keith.

AP staffers in thirty-nine bureaus across the country picketed outside their bureau offices early this week, pressuring the news wire to back off a plan to freeze pensions for some 1,250 workers. The freeze is the final sticking point in protracted contract negotiations that began in October between the AP's HR representatives and lawyers and representatives from the News Media Guild. The AP won't budge—like other outlets, it say times are bad and sacrifices need to be made. Its employees say they've sacrificed enough.
On Tuesday, I stopped by the rally outside the AP's New York City bureau, which is housed in a grimy concrete swoosh of a building on the far western edge of midtown Manhattan. The turnout was smaller than expected: a similar rally in March drew about a hundred supporters; Tuesday's peaked at about thirty. It was probably the cold and the rain—a D.C. rally was moved to Wednesday because of torrential downpours—but the ralliers who did show up were in good voice. Sporting large red badges that said "We Keep AP Working," as well as red caps and jackets—it's the Guild's official color— they stood across the road from the bureau building and chanted, "Hey, hey! Ho, ho! AP's proposal's got to go!"
At one point the group of AP workers, retirees, and supporters issued something like an angry birdcall: "Cheap, cheap, cheap."
Daniel Derella, a photo editor with the AP for almost fourteen years, was one of the louder chirpers I noticed. Holding a sign that read "You Can't Spell Cheap Without AP," he told me the proposed pension freeze would see his expected retirement money halved. "We all make sacrifices for the company when you have to," said Derella, who lives with his wife and son in Queens. "You forgo pay rises for your future and in the long run you expect to have a little something extra to help you out." He seemed to sum up the mood of those at the rally when he added, "Everybody understands it's a tough economic time, we just want a fair and equitable contract."
Getting there is proving a problem. Negotiations between the News Media Guild and representatives of the news wire began last October; more than a month before the then-current contract was due to expire, on November 30, for the 1,250 AP staffers—among them reporters, editors, graphic artists, photographers, videographers, researchers, technicians, and workers in the mailroom. Six months later—and after a Guild campaign that has included petitions and letters to CEO Tom Curley—the expired contract is still in effect and movement toward a replacement has hit an impasse over the pension issue.
There has been some progress. Originally, the AP proposed a raise of 1.5 percent within in the first year of the new contract, with another $500 bonus not tied to a percentage. Now the AP is proposing a 1.5 percent raise that would go into effect upon an agreement with the Guild, and a further 1.5 percent raise, effective September 1, 2011. Staffers would receive another 1.5 percent increase in September of the following year.
On the one hand, that's significant: AP employees have not had a wage increase in two years. On the other hand, the increases will likely fall short of the rate of inflation, which is expected to rise further as the economy strengthens.
In another compromise, the AP has also agreed not to raise monthly health plan contributions or to change the design of the plan, which had been part of its original proposal. In a postscript to an e-mail that AP's human resources VP Jessica Bruce sent to staff last week—leaked to Romenesko but published there without the postscript—AP claimed the proposal, removed as "a concession to the union," would have saved the organization $1.1 million annually.
Now the talks hinge on pensions, and the AP is refusing to budge on plans for a "pension freeze." Staffers hired by AP since 2006 work under a defined contribution plan into which AP puts 3 percent of an employee's salary annually. Management wants to transition employees hired before 2006 onto the same plan, moving them from a defined benefit plan, where the AP assumes most of the risk on investments, to a defined contribution plan, where employees assume the bulk of the risk.
In the leaked memo, AP said it would "ease the transition from one plan to the other" by making "additional contributions of 1 or 2 percent of salary per year—depending on the employee's length of service—for seven years." Adds the memo: "That's an increase of two years from the transition period that had been proposed originally."

Getting in and out of a car. Moving up and off a couch. Walking down the stairs. Stepping out of the shower without slipping.
We take for granted these simple daily tasks to the point where we do them almost subconsciously — that is, until we cannot do them without assistance, discomfort or struggle.
Many seniors (and even boomers) who suffer from arthritis, joint pain, or other health issues that hinder mobility know well the difficulty of completing these tasks.
If stairs are an obstacle, just getting to your mailbox without assistance is a feat. And imagine how complicated a trip to the grocery store becomes once mobility is an issue: after getting into your car and driving there, you must get in and around the store, reaching for heavy or cumbersome items on high and low shelves, eventually placing them on the belt for bagging. Then, you must go out to your car to load the items and unload them upon your return home.
Consequently, caregivers are also well-versed in these challenges. Given the increased risk of falls or injuries due to a mobility impairment, assistance with transportation and "getting around" (whether at home or in assisted living) is an important caregiving role.

Action aplenty marked the first practice session for the inaugural Turkish Grand Prix, as drivers acclimatised themselves with the new track and its green surface for the first time.
McLaren set the pace, with Pedro de la Rosa heading team mate Kimi Raikkonen, with respective times of 1m 27.882s and 1m 28.453s. But it was not all good news for the Woking-based team as the Spaniard caused the session to be red-flagged in the final quarter when his MP4-20 stopped out on the circuit with suspected hydraulic problems.
Mark Webber was in strong form for Williams with third fastest 1m 28.765s, then came Toyotas Ricardo Zonta on 1m 28.810s and Jenson Button who lapped his BAR in 1m 28.968s.
The midfield was busy, with Juan Pablo Montoya sixth on 1m 29.183s ahead of Fernando Alonso on 1m 29.283s and Michael Schumacher on 1m 29.766s. Takuma Sato was ninth on 1m 30.050s from Giancarlo Fisichella (1m 30.106s), Felipe Massa (1m 30.368s), Ralf Schumacher (1m 30.563s), Jarno Trulli (1m 30.783s), Nick Heidfeld (1m 30.847s and Jacques Villeneuve (who matched the Germans lap time).
Both Schumacher Snr and team mate Rubens Barrichello spun their Ferraris while finding the limit on a track that was still very dusty in places, while Vitantonio Liuzzi, Webber, Schumacher Snr, Heidfeld and David Coulthard had moments as they ran off course.
Christian Klien was 15th, lapping his Red Bull in 1m 31.008s to take the team honours from Coulthard (1m 31.306s) and Liuzzi (1m 31.353s), but Barrichello spoiled their symmetry with his lap of 1m 31.294s which left him 16th.
Tiago Monteiro was the fastest Jordan driver with 1m 32.147s, then came Nicolas Kiesa on 1m 32.501s and Narain Karthikeyan on 1m 32.886s. At Minardi, Christijan Albers pushed his PS05 round in 1m 33.474s as team mates Robert Doornbos and newcomer Enrique Toccacelo managed 1m 35.567s and 1m 36.41ss respectively. Albers suffered an apparent engine failure partway through the session.
These are early times, and they will of course fall again this afternoon as more rubber goes down. But so far the indications are that the Turks have got off to a great start on their Formula One debut.

A cheap and easy way to get clearer skin is to drink enough water daily. Water can help flush toxins and wastes out of the body. Not only is it good for your skin, it is good for your health as well.
Keep your eyebrows trimmed to enhance your appearance. Groom your eyebrows, and make sure you can tell where one eyebrow ends and the next one begins. If they grow together or if they are too bushy, try trimming them so that you can enhance your beauty.
There are times when companies stop manufacturing nail polishes. If you have a favorite nail polish that is running low but no longer manufactured, there is hope. You can take nail polish remover and add a small amount of the bottle. Shake up the mixture and then use it as you normally would. You may find the color to be a tad lighter; however, it shouldn't affect the color too much. Don't follow every beauty fad. Every fad will not be right for you. Stick with what you know looks good on you and when you do attempt to follow a new fad, incorporate it one step at a time instead of going all out. This will give you a fresher, more timeless look.
Consuming curry leaf is believed to be a remedy for grey hair. The chutney contains natural ingredients that affect the pigment formation in your hair cells. One teaspoon a day is enough.
Staying hydrated is an important part of any skin care regimen. Water naturally helps cleanse your body of toxins, and this action provides you with beautiful and clear skin throughout the day.
As you get older, exfoliation becomes more and more important to your skin. Use a glycolic acid-rich cream, facial scrub, or even a retinoid gel to slough off the top layer pf dead skin cells and to reveal the fresh, radiant new skin cells beneath. This can be done three to four times per week for the best effect. Incorporate exercise into your daily life. Daily exercise will help your body to stay looking young, fit, and healthy. You need to keep it in your figurative beauty bag. You should allow fifteen or twenty minutes a day for exercise. Exercise could include anything from cleaning your home, or just a walk around the block; anything to keep you active. UVA rays can damage your skin just as easily in winter months as they can in the summer. Wrinkles and cancer are just a couple of things you should be protecting your skin from. It's rarely necessary to wash your hair every day. All this is going to do is create unnecessary oil in your hair. Gauge how long it takes your hair to feel oily to determine how often you should wash it. Beauty is all a matter of perception. What is beautiful to one person is unattractive to another. Make sure that whatever you do, you feel good about the way that you look. If you feel good about yourself then that will show through and make you beautiful to everyone else too. Petroleum jelly can help you get very soft feet and toes. There are an endless number of products that claim to soften the skin on your feet, but the most trusted is old fashioned petroleum jelly. Apply about a tablespoon (warmed slightly to soften) to your feet after your bath and put on cotton socks to help the oil soak in. Do this several times a week for ultra soft feet. Oh, beauty. There are many ways for somebody to make themselves or others attractive. Are you confused about where to begin? Consider making use of the following tips for a start. Try air drying your hair as often as you can to avoid heat damage. Hair care accessories such as curling irons, hair dryers and straightening irons will damage your hair if used daily. If you do have to use a blow dryer, put it on a low setting. Doing this ensures your hair will remain soft and smooth.

@copperpipe -- You can use a comedone extractor on closed comedones, but it can be a little tricky the first time.
What you have to do with a closed comedone is to steam your face, like you would if you were going to extract a blackhead.
Then take a sterile lancet and gently open the skin above the closed comedone. Some of the professional comedone extractors come with lancets on one end, but if you use one like that, then make sure it's sterile.
Then you gently push on the comedone with the loop of your comedone extractor, like you would for removing a regular blackhead.
If it still doesn't come out, you can try to open it a little more with the lancet, but don't push it too far -- you don't want to cause a scar.

CLG refutes 'help to buy' second homes claim
The Communities and Local Government department has insisted the help to buy policy announced last week should not support the purchase of second homes.
The £3.5 billion low-cost homeownership initiative has come under fire after senior ministers refused to confirm whether or not it could be used to buy second homes.
Business secretary Vince Cable told the House of Commons last week that: 'The scheme has not yet been designed in detail.'
A statement issued by the CLG states: 'The intention of this policy is very clear: to help people get their first home or move home. It is not the intention to help people buy more than one home.'
The statement was released in response to an article in the Daily Telegraph that quoted planning minister Nick Boles as saying the government's intention is to create a building boom and he 'couldn't care who owns the bloody things'.
Mr Boles also reportedly told a meeting with property developers that he wants to relax planning rules to make it easier for people to build homes.
He drew attention to a line in the Budget that states: 'The government will consult on allowing further flexibilities between use classes to support change of use from certain agricultural and retail uses to residential use to increase responsiveness within the planning system.'
The CLG said the line 'is about making use of what's already there, converting unused, unviable buildings into homes without the need for red tape'.
Under help to buy two current homeownership schemes will be extended: shared equity scheme firstbuy will be boosted by extra funds, and eligibility criteria will be lifted; while guarantee scheme newbuy, which encourages lenders to offer 95 per cent loan-to-value mortgages, will be extended to cover existing as well as new homes.
Readers' comments (5)
Of course it can be used for BTL too, how can they police such a limp wristed initiative?
Inside Housing editors please note: Refute definition "to prove to be false or erroneous". CLG have not refuted anything, they assert that the intention is not to help people to buy more than one home. Nice to know but from what we know of the scheme it will be possible to do that. The significant point is they havent come up with evidence despiye being pressed repeatedly.
Tenants may not have a spare room but home owners can have £3.5bn to buy a spare house - great Tory Values at work - They are all in it together!
The various initiatives recently announced by the government do not really help first-time buyers. Within vast swathes of the country it is almost impossible to enter the housing market without significant help from family.
With some housing markets such as the movement within that there is almost no requirement for first-time buyers as the market is almost self perpetuating.
I would argue for a portable housing allowance that could be targeted at either first-time buyers wishing to enter the market or for those who wish to enter the private rented market. The allowance would work similar to tax credits with a ceiling of £60,000 a year. This relief or credit would then reduce over a five-year period. Surely this would be a better way of creating opportunities. It could be argued that after the five-year period then the housing credit\allowance could be converted into a working families tax credit subject to personal circumstances.Will the CLG 'refute' that immigrants will not be able to buy homes using the £3.5bn taxpayer slush fund for private ownership?
Will the CLG 'refute' that MP's or their families will not be able to buy their second, third, fourth homes using this taxpayer funding?
Or is it a massive fund for the Bullingdon crowd!

The ACC community is invited to attend a forum on higher education at St. Edward's University on Friday, March 30 (11 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.). Co-hosted by the Center for Ethics and Leadership and the New College at St. Edward's, the event will explore this question: "Can Higher Education Help Solve our Toughest Problems?" This free, public forum will test a new issue guide being produced by the National Issues Forum (NIF) while bringing together students, individuals from the business sector, nonprofits, government, education and civic groups. They will explore the role higher education plays in helping respond to current economic struggles, growing gaps in society, loss of community and ability to work together.
Vicki Totten, associate professor of Counseling in New College, and Jack Green Musselman, director of the Center for Ethics and Leadership, will lead the university's involvement with NIF, a network of practitioners who promote public deliberation.
This event is being designed and convened by undergraduate, New College, and graduate students at St. Edward's who will learn how to plan and manage a community forum, understand the process of framing an issue for deliberation, and convene and moderate discussions. The dialogue will focus on how to increase the civic capacity of college students so they play a part in solving society's problems.
The forum will utilize an issue discussion guide created by NIF. The discussion guide is framed in a way that is authentic to people's experience with the issue, reflects alternatives that help people move out of deeply entrenched positions, encourages participants to talk through the gray aspects of the issue to find new ways of moving forward together, and is rooted in what people hold deeply valuable.
The forum will begin with a short panel presentation where local leaders will discuss the material highlighted in the NIF discussion guide. Panelists include:
Attendees will then participate in small-group, moderated discussions to identify issues and actions that they think are most important on this topic. Outcomes from the discussion will not only help inform local conversations regarding how higher education institutions can help positively impact communities, but will also inform a national discussion in 2012 about this critical issue.
The catalyst for the forum is a year-long national initiative entitled "For Democracy's Future: Education Reclaims Our Civic Mission" which was launched in January 2012 by the White House Office of Public Engagement, American Commonwealth Project, Association of American Colleges and Universities and Department of Education. This initiative will examine the role higher education can play in deepening the civic identity of educational institutions in ways which more fully engage democratic communities.
This will be a unique opportunity for community members from different backgrounds to come together and contribute their thoughts and ideas on this important topic. It will also be a great opportunity to connect with local leaders, students and community members who are concerned with the role of higher education in communities.
The following St. Edward's University students and recent alumni are planning the event: Sonya Apodaca MAHS; Christina Ceballos MSOLE; Diana Ford MLA; Raul Garza MLA, Laura Kelly, New College, Business Administration; Michael Kersey MSOLE; Cristina Lopez, Political Science; Marcus Nash MSOLE; and Robert Null, Political Science.
Lunch will be provided, so please register in advance. Registration information, including the registration form and a campus map, can be found at the Center for Ethics and Leadership web page.

Thanks for the invite
I would love to attend this event. I am currently an adjunct instructor with ACC.

June Bugs
Name: Rene J. Status: educator Age: 40s Location: N/A Country: N/A Date: Thursday, June 06, 2002
I live in Texas where as a child I grew up collecting the outer skins of June bugs. I would find their "skins" on the bark of the trees surrounding our house. The bugs that I'm talking about are about an inch in length and their coloring is brown. They have a hard shell like skin. They also can fly. I was told by someone that June bugs don't shed their skin. Am I right in what I am calling these bugs, and that they do shed an outer layer of skin when they are in their complete adult stage?
The insects I called June bugs when I was little are beetles. The insects you are describing sound like cicadas, which live most of their lives underground, then climb up the trunks of trees to shed their juvenile skin and emerge as winged adults.
However, I am not an entomologist, and I do not know the proper names for any of these creatures. Your question illustrates exactly the reason that scientists use specific taxonomic names for species, so that there is no question what they are talking about.

You may wish to try the following site, which serves as a general reference for plants and animals.
It is also a good place for plant and animal taxonomy.
---Nathan A. Unterman
First of all, June Bugs are not "bugs" by definition, they are beetles!
Secondly, you have confused the life cycle of this insect. This insect goes through complete metamorphosis. It startes out as an egg, hatches into a larvae, grows into the pupa stage, craws up a tree and emerges as an adult breaking out of the pupa exoskeleton. The skin you found on tree barks is the outer covering of the pupa stage. The adult breaks out of this pupa exoskeleton to fly and mate. Mating is the sole purpose of the adult stage. Once the adult has emerged, it does not shed any outer exoskeleton. The outer skins you collected did not show any indication of having wings. Wings are found only on the adults.
Steve Sample
June "bugs" are beetles in the insect order Coleoptera; true bugs are in the order Hemiptera. Beetles undergo complete metamorphosis, changing from larvae to pupae to adults, and the adults do not shed their skin. However it is common to find dead adults in the summer, and the hard outer shells may persist after the soft parts are scavenged or decay.

Why Repros Is Still Risky Despite Stock's Ascent
What were the baseline and end-of-treatment levels of testosterone for patients in both arms of the study? Repros did not disclose.
Was the testosterone normalization endpoint reached with statistical significance? Repros did not disclose.
The study's sperm count endpoint is similarly messy.
Twenty of 134 men on Androxal reported sperm counts that fell 50% below their baseline levels compared to 2 of 47 men on placebo. While numerically worse, Repros said the Androxal was statistically non inferior to placebo but only just barely. To meet the study's sperm-count endpoint, Androxal could be no more than 20% worse than placebo. The reported statistical difference was 18.3%.
Last March, Repros admitted that one of the clinical trials sites fabricated baseline sperm counts for patients. As a result, the company analyzed the study omitting patients from that troubled site. Here, the statistical worsening in sperm count reduction was 19.6%, meaning the study came within a whisper of failing on this endpoint. Repros also slipped in a change to the reporting from the first phase III study. Tuesday, the company said 16 of 113 Androxal-treated men reported sperm counts lower than 50% from baseline. Last March, it was 15 of 113 patients. Under the SPA agreement, Androxal must meet both primary endpoints in both phase III clinical trials in order for the study to be considered successful. On Tuesday, Repros said it "believes" the sperm-count endpoint was met. Why not just make a definitive statement? Repros CEO Podolski blamed his lawyers for wanting to be conservative. Repros must complete an Androxal safety study plus finish some preclinical work before submitting for FDA approval in the middle of next year. The company is also still working through a messy challenge to the patents for Androxal by a New York urologist who claims Podolski stole the idea for the drug from him. -- Reported by Adam Feuerstein in Boston.
