"Above June Lake" (2005)
"I'm not necessarily into grand gestures—and maybe this might come off as a little too grand. It's taken from high above and it's a huge landscape (and that's also the problem with the American landscape—that it's too grand in scale). Maybe it's over the top and too sensational, and maybe you lose all the mid-tones. It's not subtle anymore."

Gibbs attitude?
What do you think Gibbs will bring to the OL, in terms of attitude and (repeating the mantra from HT.com TV) "We must protect this House!". I posted this on another message board but, am curious how the Texans would react (or your thoughts) if, Schaub was to be mauled "illegally" by a defensive player and how would they react now?
Re: Gibbs attitude?
Also, the line is going to look significantly different from last season. I expect the LG and RT spot to be the same throughout the whole year, but that's it. The new players coming in could have a nasty demeanor themselves without help (I think Duane Brown could fall into this category).
Re: Gibbs attitude?
In the Drayton Florence hit, none of the linemen knew it had happened.
With another hit (I think against the Titans), it wasn't shown on the TV but I think someone who was at the game mentioned that Winston had to be pulled back.
I want my linemen to be offended when the QB goes down. I want them to rush to help him up and rush to pull guys off of him.
I hope we see that this next year.
Re: Gibbs attitude?
Re: Gibbs attitude?
From now on when the QB gets hit with a cheapshot we'll see Alex Gibbs personally chop block the player's leg off that did the deed.
Re: Gibbs attitude?
In the case of Winston being held back, where were the other 9 players? I don't mean to come off as me wanting a bunch of "hooligans" (ie. Raiders) but, maybe more passion and fire in their bellies.
Baseball and hockey have "unwritten" codes when one of theirs has been placed on the ground in La-la land and I'm curious, if the Texans, having such quite professionals, do you think the Gibbs "culture" would allow for some retrobution?

Critics Consensus: The Wolf of Wall Street is Certified Fresh
Plus, Walter Mitty is sincere but uneven, Grudge Match and 47 Ronin lose the battle, Mandela is well-acted, and Believe was not screened for critics.
Merry Christmas! This week at the movies, we've got a financial fraudster (The Wolf of Wall Street, starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Jonah Hill); a timid daydreamer (The Secret Life Of Walter Mitty, starring Ben Stiller and Kristen Wiig); a pair of aging prizefighters (Grudge Match, starring Sylvester Stallone and Robert De Niro); a legendary warrior (47 Ronin, starring Keanu Reeves and Hiroyuki Sanada); a pop music sensation (the documentary Justin Bieber's Believe); and a human rights hero (Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom, starring Idris Elba and Naomie Harris). What do the critics have to say?
The Wolf of Wall Street
Martin Scorsese knows how to capture the vicarious allure of criminality better than just about any other filmmaker. Critics say he's in fine form with The Wolf of Wall Street, a slick, sleek, and surprisingly funny tale of financial fraud that features a riveting performance from Leonardo DiCaprio. The film follows the rise of Jordan Belfort (DiCaprio), the founder of a boiler room that sold worthless stocks to na�ve customers. Belfort's ill-gotten gains finance a staggering level of conspicuous debauchery, but he's shrewd enough to stay one step ahead of the government -- for a while, anyway. The pundits say the Certified Fresh Wolf of Wall Street has the hyperkinetic energy you'd expect from Scorsese, but what distinguishes it from past triumphs is its wild, ribald sense of humor.
The Secret Life Of Walter Mitty
For all its evocative detail, James Thurber's 1939 short story The Secret Life Of Walter Mitty is pretty brief, so it takes an imagination worthy of the title character to extend it to feature film length. Critics say Ben Stiller's fantasy world looks great and has an optimistic tone, but its story often feels episodic and tonally uneven. Stiller stars as a reverie-prone Life magazine photo editor with problems at work: he's derided by his boss, he's got an unrequited crush on a co-worker (Kristen Wiig), and he can't find an image that's set to run in the next issue. He escapes into a globe-spanning fantasyland of his own creation -- which might be just the thing that snaps him out of his rut. The pundits say that The Secret Life of Walter Mitty is well-meaning and ambitious, but it pushes its emotional buttons too hard to make up for a slight story.
Grudge Match
Sylvester Stallone and Robert De Niro played two of cinema's most iconic boxers, and Grudge Match purports to be a lighthearted fantasy bout between Rocky Balboa and Jake "The Raging Bull" LaMotta. Unfortunately, critics say it's more tomato can than contender -- a film with a promising premise that rarely punches above its weight. Thirty years after hanging up the gloves after splitting their two matchups, bitter rivals Henry "Razor" Sharp (Stallone) and Billy "The Kid" McDonnen (De Niro) have a fisticuffs-filled reunion while performing motion capture for a video game. When news of their punch-up spreads, the two fighters agree to a long-delayed rubber match -- and a lot more than pride is on the line. The pundits say Grudge Match is sporadically funny but surprisingly lumbering, its strong cast largely mired in a plot that's overrun with clich�s.
47 Ronin
From the silent era to the present, the tale of the 47 Ronin has inspired some of Japan's greatest filmmakers. Now it gets a big-budget Western adaptation, but unfortunately, critics say the human element gets lost under a barrage of overblown CGI effects. When a disgraced feudal lord is compelled to commit suicide after a confrontation with a corrupt official, his disgraced followers (a group that includes an orphaned swashbuckler played by Keanu Reeves). The pundits say 47 Ronin is a surprisingly dull fantasy adventure, one that leaves its talented international cast stranded within one dimensional roles.
Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom
Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom goes into wide release this week, and critics say it's a decent if not always inspired look at Nelson Mandela's life that's bolstered by a terrific central performance by Idris Elba in the title role. Based upon Mandela's autobiography, the film follows the South African political leader's life from his early activism to his time in prison to his election to president in the first post-Apartheid elections. The pundits say the Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom tries to cover too much ground in the great man's life, but it's a sincere and powerfully acted biopic that serves as a good first step for those who want to learn more about one of the great human rights champions or our era.
Justin Bieber's Believe
Sorry, Beliebers: we'd love to tell you what the critics thought of Justin Bieber's Believe, but it wasn't screened for critics prior to its release in theaters. If Bieber's previous doc, Never Say Never, captured the rise of the pop star, Believe purports to show how his world has changed now that he's on the cusp of adulthood. Hey everybody, take a break from yuletide festivities and guess the Tomatometer!
Also opening this week in limited release:
- August: Osage County, starring Meryl Streep and Julia Roberts in a dramedy about a deeply dysfunctional family reunion, is at 81 percent.
- The Invisible Woman, starring Ralph Fiennes and Felicity Jones in a period drama about the woman who became the object of Charles Dickens' extramarital passion, is at 73 percent.
- Lone Survivor, starring Mark Wahlberg and Taylor Kitsch in a drama about a group of Navy SEALs on a dangerous mission to take out a Taliban target, is at 72 percent.

Drake And Romeo Santos Release New Song That Proves Bachata Has Gone Mainstream
Lovers of bachata, the romantic Spanish music genre that hails from the Dominican Republic, know Romeo Santos well. And now Drake joins Santos (and sings in Spanish!) on a new song called "Odio."
1. Romeo Santos, the self-proclaimed King of Bachata, whose 2012 album was the top Latin album of the year, features a host of cameos including Nicki Minaj, Kevin Hart, and Marc Anthony. But the first single features none other than Drake.
2. The internet is…excited.
10. Drake surprised many by following Romeo's verse with his own in really smooth Spanish.
11. Later in the song, he comes in rapping in English. Check out the song below. It's available on iTunes Monday.
12. Oh, and if you're not very familiar with Romeo, check out this hilarious teaser for his album to see how awesomely cocky he is.

United, Delta Upgrade Overhead Bins
By editor
Originally published on Tue March 6, 2012 12:13 pm
And our last word in business has some good news for travelers – bigger bins. People have been avoiding checked-baggage fees by carrying on bags onto airplanes - that includes bags too big for the overhead bins. Now United and Delta Airlines are enlarging their bins, though there is some fear this will prompt people to bring bags that are even bigger.
That's the business news on MORNING EDITION from NPR News. I'm Steve Inskeep. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

One of the most ineffective makeup removers that I have ever used. It removed eyeshadow and primer with no problem, but it barely made a dent in the mascara and liner. This wasn't waterproof makeup either: it was your basic eyeliner and mascara. This product couldn't even remove the remnants that were left after I used a REAL makeup remover and washed my face.
Fortunately, this was part of a gift set so I didn't waste my money on it, because that's exactly what you'd be doing with your money if you purchased this. Even the drugstore brand perform far better than this one does.

I didnt use this as my sole eye makeup remover (Neutrogena makeup wipes are what I use). What I used this for was to get rid of mascara residue that stained my under eye area the next morning. I just used a q-tip, diping it into the product and clean up the left over mascara that smeared under my eyes. For that role I think this eye makeup remover is wonderful.
It felt like I was rubbing water against my skin but it got rid of what I wanted no oily residue whatsoever! Because I used it that way the product has lasted me a long long long time. Decently priced for a high end product, about $16!

It stung my eyes! I was expecting so much more from an EL product, but this is the WORST EL product I have ever used in my entire life. I cannot express enough how awful this eye makeup remover was. It didn't take off the makeup well at all and stung my eyes like nothing I'd ever used before. Out of all of the things you want out of an eye-makeup remover (to be gentle, to take off makeup, to work well, to not irritate skin), this product does not deliver on a single one.
I would recommend people try Lancome eye makeup remover.

Luckily, my mom received this as a free gift and passed it on to me, so I didn't pay. It does an ok job removing some of my eye makeup, but I find myself scrubbing harder than I should have to. Regular old water does a better job removing eye makeup. Expected more. Will not be purchasing.

my mom got this as a sample for buying an estee lauder product and getting the gift. so she gave it to me. its pretty good at removing eyemakeup, but its nothing spectacular. its similar to lancome's remover & drugstore version neutrogena. since i didnt actually purchase this product, idk how much it costs. but if it's more than $10-15 bucks, not worth it!!! it's very average in my opinion and it's kinda oily/greasy on my lids. it doesnt do anything amazing that other, more affordable products can't do.

Awesome makeup remover! It removes almost all makeup beautifully. I use covergirl lashblast WATERPROOF, so I do use baby oil to remove that beforehand. Sometimes while applying makeup, when I make small mistakes, I take a little bit of this on the lid, and it removes the black immediately. Lasts quite a while too. I'm usually not very picky with makeup removers, but this is a really good product!

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Weekend Weather
Welcome to Summer 2013, everyone! Hot enough for you?
I'm going to take a stab in the dark here and suggest most of you didn't have a clue summer had already begun.
Well, apparently it has. We have skipped spring entirely and are moving straight into the sweltering heat and blood-thirsty mosquitoes of a Prairie summer.
I became aware of this the other night as I lay on the couch watching our big-screen TV when, suddenly and without warning, there was a commercial for a famous coffee and doughnut chain, whose identity I will not reveal other than to say its name rhymes with Bim Bortons, if you catch my subtle drift.
Anyway, it was an extremely happy ad with a snappy song and the thrust of its gist was the fact that, hey, summer is here and anyone with half a brain will drop whatever they are doing and head into this coffee and doughnut chain right now to beat the heat by buying vast quantities of frozen lemonade.
I have nothing against frozen lemonade, but I am a little embarrassed, what with being the weather columnist and all, that I was in the dark about summer slipping in via the back door.
I had assumed that, since the summer solstice isn't until June 21, we would have a little time to wash our Bermuda shorts and stock up on gin and tonic, but it seems that isn't the case.
I should have known, because the signs of summer are definitely out there. For example, on Friday morning, when I drove to the office, I was almost able to see over the top of the snowbanks lining my driveway as I backed onto the street.
So grab a frozen lemonade, kids, because it's time for our first weekend weather forecast of the earliest summer in years. According to Environment Canada, we can look for a mix of sun and clouds today and a sizzling high of 1 C, which is only 11 degrees under the normal high of 12 C at this time of year.
The outlook for Sunday calls for a blistering high of 3 C and periods of snow or rain, so you might want to postpone that trip to the beach. Speaking of which, it should be sunny the rest of the week, with temperatures hitting 7 C by Wednesday. So start waxing down your surfboards, kids.
You'll be happy to know there is lots of fun, summery stuff to do this weekend, such as heading to St. Vital Centre today for the start of the eight-day Children's Hospital Book Market, now in its 53rd year. They have a gazillion books, so you'll be able to find something for the beach.
And what would summer be without chocolate? That's a rhetorical question, but you can ponder it today by heading to the Gates on Roblin for the first annual Chocoholics Buffet featuring a 24-foot table groaning with 3,000 pieces of heaven, with proceeds going to the United Way. Tickets are $53.99 at www.ChocoholicsBuffet.com. I'm guessing it's sugar rush seating.
You can burn off the excess sugar by joining the folks at Werier's Walkers for a guided walking tour of West Broadway and its fascinating history, people and politics. For more information, visit www.meetup.com/weriers-walkers/.
Or maybe just clear the (bad word) snow off your patio and fire up the barbecue. I recommend putting something extra in the lemonade!

loss of my first love
As i walked the earth in the months following the accident I ached for it not to be true and every structure in the visible world ached with me. The conrete ached with me, the bitumen ached, the metal handrails... When we are consumed by them our emotions are seamlessly and endlessly overlaid on the physical universe.
When someone you love dies it is like there is a hollow pit inside of you ready for pain to course through and double you over. You are ever ready for such an attack.
Eventually the pain starts to suffocate you. Its like it has filled you up and has nowhere else to go inside your body. It cannot escape so it starts choking you. No release, no relief. You roll around on the floor and one or two tears stream from your eyes. Its almost worse than not crying at all. At least when you are not crying you imagine that you will soon and feel better.
No wonder i ran away from that place. Every sensation i felt - the cold on my face, the groginess upon waking, the sight of sunrise on the gothic churches was full of him. There was nowhere that i could look and no nerve stimulation that did not remind me that he was never going to be in my physical universe again. The agony of that truth was crippling and devastating. it bought me to my emotional knees time and time again until i was burnt out with hurting.
And so i left and it felt a little less dying inside....
That was 10 years ago and i still miss him today.
How beautifully and tragically said. He was so fortunate to have you in his life. I hope you find some resemblance of peace in your life.
We lost our grandaughter yesterday at 7 months gestation. My DIL is going through induced labor to deliver her at this very moment. Right now I am numb to my feelings about the baby. My heart aches for my son and his wife. I can't imagine what they are going through.

Classic SF,
This review is from: Invasion of the Body Snatchers (Film Ink) (Paperback)
It was years ago that I read this book, but it deserves a review nevertheless. I don't recall The Body Snatchers having the same metaphorical underpinnings as the films (the '56 one supposedly being a communist allegory, the '78 film about urban isolation & dehumanisation) but Finney tackles his legendary plot with what can only be described as gusto. All the intricacies of the subject are explored: is it just a paranoid fantasy? how far could the conspiracy have spread? how much danger are we really in? and, of course, the philosophical problem raised by the pod-people themselves - wouldn't mankind be better off if we just gave into them? - making this quite a thoughtful novel, really.
What makes it entertaining though is Finney's ability to express various levels of creeping fear & paranoia, momentary relief and even excitement - Finney's written account of THAT classic scene in the films, the denoument I mean, is as exhilirating as any motion picture.
All in all, good solid science fiction full of thought and thrills, and I am surprised that it is not held in higher esteem. Not a forgotten classic (hence the four stars) but a book worth any SF fan's time.

misssherry(Z8/9SE MS)
Congrats, congrats! The Vanessas are always first, aren't they?
I've got two red admiral chrysalides, and two American ladies are in the "J" - hooray!
It's been raining here for days, and I've had to gather leaves for my caterpillars on the rare occasions it lets up. We're under a flood watch - yuk!
I found a few small AL cats today on my Sweet Everlasting, so will be raising some cats for them. And I've got one Red Admiral chrysallis also .

Garden Apartment
We just moved into a garden apartment last weekend (we are having a house built, so this is temporary).
But, we cannot get over how HOT it is in the apartment. We have the heat down to 1 (lowest setting) and it is still 90 degrees in the apartment.
We have windows open and fans going, and it will get down to about 75.
Is this an indication as to what it is going to be like in the summer?
I don't know where you live, but have you tried turning the heat all the way off and maybe turn on for a while when you feel chilled?
Forgive my ignorance, but what's a garden apartment? Does that just mean it's all on one level with nobody above? Other than that, how do you like it? Good luck with the new home you're building, by the way.
A garden apartment is kinda like living in the basement of an apartment complex. The windows are higher up (closer to the ceiling instead of between the floor and the ceiling).
We got the heat fixed. Had to call maintenance a couple of times and finally figured that someone had cranked the boiler up to 200 degrees (which is supposed to be the max).
Much better now.
House progress is coming along, so we are looking forward to that!
My dorm room in college was incredibly hot. Even in upstate New York, we had to open the windows at night to sleep! I think it spoiled my body for the rest of my life. Now I'm always cold in my house, even with the thermostat at 75 and lots of blankets on my bed!

Bamboo and termites?
I have searched the flooring forum and see no reference to termites eating bamboo. I live in the Caribbean and would like to put in bamboo flooring. Bamboo grows here and the termites don't make nests in it but is that because they don't like eating it or it isn't substantial enough to support the nest?
The flooring forum doesn't address this issue. Does anyone gardening in the tropics have experience with using bamboo flooring and termites finding it appetizing? Termites love oak and pine and so far the only thing they don't eat is treated wood or a dark hardwood from South America? Any thoughts or experience appreciated?
Thanks in advance,
I don't have any personal experience, but a quick google search of the words "bamboo termites" turned up the following information:
1) Termites do eat bamboo.
2) Some bamboo species seem to be more resistant than others.
3) Not all species of bamboo make good building material.
4) Fungus, powder beetles and woodworms are also problems.
5) There are a number of ways to treat bamboo in order to insect-proof it.
6) There is actually a species known as the bamboo termite (which should give you a clue right there) that is apparently very tasty if you like that sort of thing-- and there seem to be enough people who do to support a restaurant featuring insect cuisine. Think I'll take a pass on that one...
Didn't come across anything specifically on flooring, but then I didn't really look that hard. This site gives a lot of info on harvesting and treating commercial bamboo:
Here is a link that might be useful: bamboo treatment methods

Tan Secret /Tan Towelette
Has anyone tried the tan towelettes sold on HSN? While it sounds like it would be allot less mess than creams, sprays, I wonder how cost effective it is. It must take several towels to do the whole body. How many applications for it to look like I have a REAL tan, not just a little tiny bit of golden tone. I would think that you could spend the whole 10 towels getting the initial color tan.
Also I remember tan secret from last yr, but I see hsn doesn't carry it this yr. Has anyone had any experience with it & have any idea where I may locate it? I loved that it was a mousse so it didn't drip & you could see where it was applied.
I bought tan towels from Bath and Body for $10.00 and they worked great. I used two towels for my whole body and face. When I ran out, I tried to be cheap and went back to cream- and unfortunately the streaks came back. So this week I am trying to be creative and I put lotion on some cheap make up pads I had to recreate the towel effect- I will let you know how that works out
Bath and Body is 10 for 10- and they do have sales
Well I finally used them & they are lousy. It would take several to cover my body & I didn't notice anything until I went 3 rounds & then it was only just enought that I knew I ha a little more color than usual. Certainly didn't look like i had a tan. What a waste of $.
I consider myself an expert when it comes to self tanning and I have tried them all! The best self tanner on the market is called Tan Secret. The color is totally natural and you get instant coverage. It is a gel and dries fast and delivers incredible results! The towels are a waste of time...takes 4 towels to do my body, left me streaked and didn't give me instant results. I will only use Tan Secret. You can only get it on Toni's website www.tonibrattin.com She has a new tanning boost that I just ordered off ShopNBC called Tan Fabulous. I will let you know what I think when it arrives!

What You Can Expect
Ascend the Montparnasse Tower to its fully renovated 56th floor, with its friendlier and more impressive surroundings. In just 38 seconds, Europe's fastest elevator will take you to a height of 689 feet (210 meters), where the most beautiful views of Paris stretch out before you from a modern, relaxed and very comfortable setting.
A large number of audiovisual and interactive facilities are also available to help you discover and understand Paris; photo galleries, interactive screens, panoramic projection on the legend of towers in the world, quizzes, video clips of Paris, viewpoint tables and more.
The panoramic bar also gives you the chance to enjoy a gourmet break as you take in the view across the capital.
Every hour of the day has its own special charm and light... but the sunset over Paris and the lights of the city are simply breathtaking.
From March to October, enjoy a glass of Champagne from Paris' highest roof terrace while gazing out over the city. The newly-installed Champagne bar gives you the chance to fully appreciate the sights and sounds of Paris from the roof with a glass in hand.
Music on the Rooftop
Head up to the roof terrace from 7pm on a Friday evening from the end of April to the end of June and let the sounds of the accordion and the clarinet provide the soundtrack to your visit. Watch the sun set over the city as you sip Champagne and admire the view while listening to swing, jazz or traditional French songs.

This tour was amazing!
March 2015
We arrived at the tower on the day we had booked to be told that the view was foggy and we wouldn't see Paris at its best so might be better to try tomorrow so we went back the day after and the view was spectacular! It was a fabulous experience topped off with a lovely glass of champagne!

From the Publisher
"Holiday Business: an account that delivers all the pleasures which you would expect from a well-organized jaunt. The trip is entertaining because Jim Davidson and Peter Spearritt have keen eyes for quirky exemplars and amusing asides. The journey is scenic and colourful in the sense of being well-illustrated and nicely put together." —Australian Book Review

IAC has acquired a 51 percent stake in Connected Ventures, parent of CollegeHumor.com.
IAC/InterActiveCorp has begun its push into community-focused online content with the acquisition of a controlling interest in the parent company of CollegeHumor.com.
IAC will hold a 51 percent stake in Connected Ventures, with full voting control. Founders Josh Abramson and Ricky Van Veen will retain the remaining 49 percent. Besides CollegeHumor, Connected Ventures runs e-commerce site Busted Tees, along with a few smaller content sites targeting the same young adult demographic.
CollegeHumor offers videos, pictures, articles and jokes to a core audience of college students and recent graduates. The site features several rich media ads and text links on its homepage and category pages, which it sells through an internal ad sales team. The site attracts more than six million monthly unique users, according to Nielsen Site Census.
Past site sponsors include General Motors, DreamWorks Motion Pictures, Sony Motion Pictures, AT&T Wireless, Comedy Central and RCA Records.
CollegeHumor becomes the first site to join IAC Programming, which launched earlier this year with a goal of buying and building branded online content properties centered around communities. The programming group launched in January, when IAC named Michael Jackson as president of programming. Jackson previously served under IAC chairman Barry Diller as chairman of Universal Television Group, and as CEO of the U.K.'s Channel Four.
"With its distinct brand of humor, CollegeHumor has emerged as a viral success with an enormously loyal audience among young adults," Jackson said in a statement. "The founders have done an outstanding job of growing the business by appealing to a well-defined audience with a consistent voice and sensibility. Their entrepreneurial spirit is a welcome addition to IAC's Programming efforts, and we look forward to working with them to drive growth of CollegeHumor as well as other opportunities."
