Tim Burton and Johnny Depp have worked together so often, studios now assume that any new Burton movie will feature Depp.
So it was with "Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street," Burton's adaptation of Stephen Sondheim's gruesome musical. The thing is, no one knew -- or seemed to care -- whether Depp could actually sing Sondheim (no easy task), and Depp kept everyone in the dark while making demos in a West Hollywood recording studio.
"It speaks well to Johnny's reputation that everyone went along with it," Burton says. "Sondheim, too. Because he had a say in who that character was." That character, 19th- century Londoner Sweeney Todd, is a throat-slicing barber set on avenging the loss of his family. The first song Depp honed was "My Friends," Todd's loving tribute to his beloved comrades, the silver razors that will soon "know splendors" and "drip precious rubies."
"It's a beautiful love song," Depp says, "about a different kind of love."
Here Depp and Burton sing each other's praises while talking about their sixth collaboration:
There's a bar chart that ranks the blood in "Sweeney Todd" somewhere between "Mortal Kombat" and the Civil War.
Depp: That's quite a spread.
Burton: I wasn't around for the Civil War.
Depp: I was. I was looking for you.
Burton: People say we've been working together for 10 decades. That would put us around the Civil War. But, you know, the blood is part of the story. When I saw the stage show, it was flying across the stage.
Depp: But back to the bar chart. I thought it was going to chart the bars we frequent.
Burton: That's a chart I'd be interested in.
Depp: We'd have to start with the bar at this hotel. A fine establishment --
Tim, you were upfront with the studio about the gore ...
Burton: That was the first thing I said to them: "There will be blood." I've seen other shows where they try to skimp on it, and it really loses something. If you're gonna skimp on that, why make a movie about a serial killer making people into meat pies?
Depp: Meat pie sales are going to plummet.
Burton: Nobody in America eats them anyway.
Depp: Let's not discount the chicken pot pie --
And the blood was on you, Johnny. I hear everyone wore trash bags when you filmed the gusher scenes.
Depp: Trash bags and these white lab suits, like "CSI: Crime Scene." Everyone except Tim.
Burton: I did once, but, for the most part, no.
Depp: Only when you were squirting.
Burton: I like to get my hand in there. I did it on "Sleepy Hollow." There's a tradition. I have pretty good aim.
Depp: You have incredible aim. In "Sleepy Hollow," there's a shot where you got the blood in between my glasses and straight into my eye. It was amazing.
Burton: It's like painting. It's fun.
Producer Richard Zanuck was apparently a little nervous about hearing your singing, Johnny. Burton: I didn't know what to expect. And when I finally heard him, I was amazed. It's a hard musical to do, and he just made it his own.
It sounded like him. A lot of times, things get overproduced and you don't hear the person in the voice. But you heard him. And it had an emotional quality that I had never really heard in the material.
Because you were in a band, most people assume you're a singer.
Depp: I did not sing. I did everything I could to avoid singing. I would step up to a mike to sing the harmony and then quickly retreat into the darkness. Singing was always the guy up front getting all the attention. And I didn't want that.
You've said that the song you sent Tim, "My Friends," was the first you've ever sung start to finish. That's a little hard to believe.
Depp: It's true. I don't sing along to music.
"Brown Sugar" comes on ...
Depp: I might sing a little harmony. I might air guitar. Drumming. I like to drum.
Burton: What's amazing is that a studio went along with this. Nobody knew if he could sing.
Depp: It's astonishing. I don't know what they were thinking. What were you thinking?
Burton: I was thinking it was funny. I can't tell you how many years I had to fight to get Johnny in my movies. Nowadays, I can't even open my mouth without the studio asking if Johnny's going to be in the movie. It was a long time coming. It's great.
How hard was it to act to your prerecorded vocals?
Depp: Hard. My fear was once you recorded these pieces in your character, then you were locked into that, and so essentially 50 percent of your performance would be done before stepping on the stage. There's something very scary about that -- but at the same time stimulating, too.
Burton: You've got to get in there and match what you did.
Depp: And the first thing you discover is that there is no such thing as lip-
synching. You've got to belt it out to the music. And what I thought was going to feel limiting was actually very liberating because the music gives you everything -- the emotion, the movement. There was a kind of liquid quality to the set. It was like a silent film.
Burton: Like Johnny said, there was no way to lip-synch. You see the vocal cords. So they did have to belt it out on each take --
Depp: Which is even more embarrassing because just listening to yourself is really mortifying. You have to condition yourself to that.
Burton: That was probably the hardest thing, in a weird way, wasn't it?
Depp: It's the same crew Tim's worked with for years. You know these guys. They're family. And those guys are right there, and you're (Depp breaks into a melodramatic warble) -- you feel like a complete knob.
But now you've done it. So when does the Johnny Depp album come out?
Burton: He's got a big recording contract in Germany. He's going head to head with David Hasselhoff.
Depp: There's a new sheriff in town, David.
Burton: Singing is quite exposing in a way.
Depp: When we first started talking about doing the movie, and I didn't know if I'd be able to sing a note, I remember there were two fears. One was letting Tim down, but mostly it was being afraid of cackling. Just being giddy -- like infants.
Burton: Because it's so ridiculous.
Depp: It's ludicrous. There are moments over the years -- you can pick them out in each film I've been lucky enough to do with Tim -- where I don't know what it is, but everything is lined up, and when the moment comes, it's insane and absurd, and you lose it. You cackle for hours.
Burton: I had to leave the set once. Johnny had been playing Sweeney Todd for the whole movie, and then one day he had to be a normal guy in a flashback. I just completely lost it.
Depp: He had to leave the set. Work stopped.
Burton: They had to shoot a couple of takes without me because I couldn't stop laughing.
Depp: People ask, "Say something funny that happened on set." These are the funny things. They're not funny to anyone else, just to us.
Burton: Which kind of works well for this movie. The characters in "Sweeney Todd" are in their own world. They're all nuts in a certain way, but in their world, nuts is normal.
Depp: They might as well be in show business.

Previously making the cut
Tim Burton's "Sweeney Todd" is the latest in a long line of treatments of the fictional serial killer who first came to prominence in a typically lurid British "penny dreadful" in the mid-1840s called "The String of Pearls: A Romance."
Though some have argued that the murderer was based on an actual person, its source was more likely inspired by an urban legend of the time. It wasn't long after Sweeney's appearance in the penny novel that the story was adapted for the stage.
Among the filmed adaptations:
"Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street," a 1936 British film starring the appropriately named Tod Slaughter.
"Sweeney Todd," a 1973 play by Christopher Bond that transformed the title character from a butcher into a wronged man haunted by loss and obsessed with revenge.
Stephen Sondheim based his 1979 Broadway musical on Bond's play.
It won a Tony for best musical and ran for 577 performances, overcoming an opening night in which, it was reported, half the audience left at intermission because of the gore and grisly subject matter.
There have been two BBC-TV treatments: 1998's "The Tale of Sweeney Todd" starring Ben Kingsley and a 2006 version with Ray Winstone ("Beowulf") in the lead role.

Product description
In a climate of culture wars and tremendous economic uncertainty, America is often reduced to a simplistic schism between red states and blue states. In response to that oversimplification, journalist Dante Chinni teamed up with political geographer James Gimpel to launch the Patchwork Nation project, using on-the-ground reporting and statistical analysis to get past generalizations and probe American communities in depth. The result is "Our Patchwork Nation," a refreshing, sometimes startling look at how America's diversities often defy conventional wisdom. Looking at the data, they recognized that the country breaks into twelve distinct types of communities, and old categories like "soccer mom" and "working class" don't matter as much as we think. These communities include: --Boom Towns --Evangelical Epicenters --Military Bastions --Service Worker Centers --Campus and Careers --Immigration Nation --Minority Central --Tractor Community --Mormon Outposts --Emptying Nests --Industrial Metropolises --Monied Burbs By examining these populations, the authors demonstrate that the subtle distinctions in how Americans vote, invest, shop, and otherwise behave reflect what they experience on their local streets and in their daily lives. "Our Patchwork Nation" is a brilliant new way to debate and examine the issues that matter most to our communities--and to our nation.

This is just like Catch Phrase but only has LDS terms. There are currently 120 phrases including Nephi and Suburban and everything in between. We know there are more terms out there and ask for your help. Please visit WWW.LDSCATCHPHRASE.TK to stay up to date on the app and submit new terms or email me directly.
The app currently has a score tracker for two teams and has different time options, either 1, 2 or 3 minutes.
Smack Obama 2
Smack Obama 2 is a new updated version of my original Smack Obama app. You still have 1 minute to smack as Barrack Obama as many times as possible but this time you have to watch out for the Secret Service. You will lose one point each time you hit the Secret Service.
This game is tied into all my other Smack games so no matter who you smack your score will be stored on the global score board. This game is just my take on whack a mole and was created for a little fun, don't get butt hurt.
Smack Miley
This app was made for fun. If you don't like fun then don't pay any attention to this app. If you do like fun then this app is for you. It gives you 1 minute to smack Miley Cyrus as many times as you can. There is also a global leader board so you can compare your skills against everyone else. I call it smack but others might call it whack or punch,
Flippin Coin
This app can either always land on heads or tails depending on what you need. Simply press the top left of the screen for heads and the top right of the screen for tails.
If you want a random coin toss it can do that too, just click the coin and it will be a fair flip.
It has flipping and landing sounds it always moves through heads and tails so this app will trick any body and you will never lose a coin toss again.
Smack Putin
This app was made for fun. If you don't like fun then don't pay any attention to this app. If you do like fun then this app is for you. It gives you 1 minute to smack Vladimir Putin as many times as you can. There is also a global leader board so you can compare your skills against everyone else. I call it smack but others might call it whack or punch,
P.Robbie the Psychic
Baby Colors FREE
On each screen press a sound is made and a the background color changes.
Dancing Baby App
There are many out there that think my Dancing Baby live wallpaper is an app. So to help them out I decided to just make an app for the infamous dancing baby from the 90's.
For this app I took the number one recommendation from the feedback i have received. In this app you can select a song for the baby to dance to.
You must have AndExplorer installed for this app to work properly.

I now of the possesser of 18 ounces of Liederkranz cheese. Well,maybe about 15 ounces by now. Comes from DCI cheese co. Richfield Wisconsin. Haven't been able to quiz son yet how the cheese got here but will see him Monday, I wanted some thin sliced rye bread to put it on. Leone couldn't find any so she got a pretty good pumpernickel. Wonderful, sublime. I'm running out of adjectives. A little sprinkle of chopped red onion on top of the cheese, just a little, doesn't hurt either.
Love LOVE Liederkranz!! I thought it was a Borden patented cheese and Borden stopped making it and wouldn't sell the patent.
Now I have to go on a search...I am picturing that little foil wrapped block with the yellow colored wrapped....Oh my...I need to go on a search!
You're not going to believe this, but Amazon sells it!

Flavor King Pluot free stone?
brownmolaAugust 1, 2013
I just bought the best tasting pluot I have ever had and want to buy and plant that tree. They were advertised as Flavor King but they were free stone. Are Flavor Kings free stone or was it misidentified? I can upload pictures of the actual pluot if FK is not a free stone.
fruitnut Z7 4500ft SW TX
Yes they are less vigorous but not really harder to grow. I like them on Citation. The fruit is much bigger than on Myro 29C even though 29C gives a much more vigorous tree. On either root the lower part of the tree soon becomes bare. The solution is to prune some every year to keep forcing new growth down low. I have a hard time doing that. But mine produce just as well on long old pendant spurs that should have been renewed 5 years ago.

Is there any way to tell what kind of echinacea seeds I have?
Last fall I could kick myself for not saving seeds, so I didn't go to any lengths to keep track of what I planted where. I just figured I'd find out next summer what's what when everything blooms again. Well now we're having a little winter warm up and I'm discovering seed pods all over the garden and snagging them up while I'm able. I was gifted several types of echinacea last year and now I'm not sure which one these seed heads are from! One I know for sure one of them is echinacea "white swan" but the other could be one of the pink varieties or a yellow variety that my MIL picked up for me at a plant sale. I planted two right next to each other too, and I didn't know until recently that they can cross pollinate when planted so closely. So I have two questions!
#1 - is there any way at all to tell the difference between the two seed heads as I have no idea which one is which?
#2 - should the seeds be true to the parent if they were planted both within months of each other last season or would have cross pollination already occurred and who knows what kind of echinacea plant these will grow? I still don't know much about all of this! :)
Thank you so much for any help anyone can offer! Here are a couple pictures:
This is the one I think may be "white swan" as it had the most flowers on it when I purchased it and it had the most seed heads today...
Here is the other, there are only two and this one is the most together even though severed...
You really can't tell the difference between two E. purpurea varieties. If you had another species of echinacea, you might be able to. But being you remembered more flowers on White Swan, it would be a good guess the first one is it.
If the plants were blooming at the same time, cross pollination would of probably occurred. If they were blooming before you got them, then who knows.
White Swan will come true from seed, but only when grown in isolation. Otherwise the seedlings will be pink being that white is recessive.
Hope that helps,
Thank you Remy - I do really appreciate your answer! It is very helpful. The second head didn't have a darn seed on it, but I think they were blooming at the same time and now I'm worried that cross pollination occurred. ARGH! I really wanted to grow more of those! Do you think that if I moved it to an isolated part of the garden the seeds I collect next fall would be white?
I do not know the distance for bettering your chances, but most insect pollinated plants(especially those that are loved by the insects like echinacea) need at least 1/4 mile to 1/2 to be pure. So for the normal home gardener it is difficult. Having no neighbors growing them helps, but echinacea is popular right now. If you've got no close neighbors, the other thing that would help besides distance is buildings in the way and a lot of other flowers in bloom along the way. So not a straight clear path from one planting to the other. It doesn't guarantee purity, but at least you would have a chance of some true seedlings.
When starting White Swan from seed, it is easy to tell of they will be white. If they show red/pink in the emerging stems, they have crossed, and the flowers will be some shade of pink.

"I wanted something unique and different for my save the dates and that is exactly what I got! I loved being able to add pictures of my fiancé and I to males this extra special. Everyone that received one agreed with me and thought going with a magnet was super unique and they love the design. I plan on sticking with the theme and using the invites, thank you cards, and gift tag stickers. seriously people, this Is perfect!"
"These magnets were everything we wanted and more! Wedding Paper Divas' website was easy to use and navigate. I was able to personalize the color and text font with ease. I was worried that the pictures we used wouldn't show up well when printed on magnets but they turned out beautiful and very clear. I accidentally ordered the wrong saved draft and immediately called customer service to cancel the order. They were courteous and got everything taken care of quickly. I ordered the correct draft and they showed up at my doorstep a week later! Can't wait to send them out!!"
"I loved the design online, very Romantic, definitely the feel of our wedding. I couldn't have been happier with the quick delivery and quality of our Save the Dates. We opted for the postcard version to give our guests a little more information before sending out the formal invitation. I cannot wait to send these to our family and friends!"
"Everything about this save the date was perfect. Quality was great and service was outstanding. My friends and family loved this elegant design and enjoyed having a magnet to keep on the fridge."
"Magnet is great quality. Holds really well on the fridge. Ordered in blue color and love it. Quality of our photo was great. Only negative was the very top of the decorative design was cut off. None of my friends/family have noticed, but I did. I would strongly recommend WPD's magnetic Save-the-Dates to all my friends. Everyone keeps saying how much they love the magnets. :D"

Not top play: Confused NBA referee openly stalls game on national TV
Everybody's worst nightmare — OK, maybe just mine — is doing something embarrassing on national TV and not knowing it.
That is why I'm glad I'm not NBA referee Bill Kennedy.
The Los Angeles Lakers were trailing the San Antonio Spurs with 5:09 remaining in the fourth quarter when Laker coach Mike D'Antoni called for a full timeout, but really wanted a 20-second timeout. The only problem was, he didn't have a 20-second timeout left.
Kennedy was under the impression that ESPN — the network on which the game was airing — had cut to commercial for a 20-second timeout, which left him in a tough spot.
He could either make ESPN stall after returning from the 20-second commercial during the remainder of the full timeout, or stall the game, in essence gifting the Lakers an extra timeout. Kennedy opted for the latter.
Except Kennedy was unaware of one small detail: ESPN never went to a commercial.
So, with an entire ESPN audience watching, Kennedy explained in detail his non-existent predicament to D'Antoni and to Spurs coach Gregg Popovich.
"You called a full, and you wanted a 20," Kennedy explained to D'Antoni. "You didn't have one; you called it in the third quarter. TV went to a 20. So what I'm doing is I'm stalling for commercial time and I need your help."
In the middle of Kennedy's talk with the coaches, ESPN announcer Joe Barry interjected (though Kennedy couldn't hear him), "Wait, Bill! We're on you!" the announcer said. "You're not fooling anybody."
Kennedy probably found out about the error after the game. No word has come through, however, on how he felt about this little mistake.
Bonus: How to foul and not get caught...
Former Jazzman Andrei Kirilenko was guarding Kevin Durant in a Wednesday matchup, when apparently, Durant just got fed up with the Russian.
Durant shoved Kirilenko backwards into a cutting Russell Westbrook. Kirilenko, falling backwards, tried to regain his balance, flailing his arms as he went. His hand struck Westbrook's ear.
Westbrook clutched his ear in pain. A foul was called on Kirilenko.
How do you foul without getting caught? By shoving the opponent into your teammate.

Britney Spears No Longer Touring With Enrique Iglesias
Enrique Iglesias has pulled out of Britney Spears' upcoming tour.
Spears announced Tuesday morning on ABC's Good Morning America that Iglesias will be joining her on the tour, which was to kick off June 17 in Sacramento, Calif.
A press release was even released -- but a short time later, another note was sent to various media outlets: "Live Nation MusicPress would like to recall the message, "BRITNEY SPEARS AND ENRIQUE IGLESIAS ANNOUNCE AUGUST PERFORMANCES."
No word on why he has dropped out.
Billboard reports that Iglesias - who is now touring in Europe - was to carry full production on the Spears tour.
The site reports that two high-profile artists with top-shelf production values can be very expensive to produce.
Spears' tour is being produced by Live Nation, with veteran pop tour promoter Brad Wavra, VP at Live Nation, running point.
Spears released her latest album, Femme Fatale, Tuesday - days after she performed two live shows in Las Vegas and San Francisco to mixed reviews.

Meir Panim delivers warmth, special care to families in need.
Eliot Spitzer personified success. He had it all: health, family, wealth, career, fame – everything a person can ever dream of and hope for. Then it all unraveled. A man at the zenith of life plummeted to the nadir of existence.
Spitzer was a Harvard-trained legal mastermind, a renowned prosecutor and former attorney general who knew the ins and outs of criminal intent, behavior and subterfuge – and yet, incredibly, he couldn't mastermind his own crime. Ultimately, he committed the same egregious mistakes as the criminals he pretentiously indicted.
Two issues bother any observer of this sad debacle.
First, Spitzer was by no means naïve. Did he not anticipate the personal and legal consequences of such behavior? Did he honestly think he would escape recrimination?
Second, knowing first hand how criminals get caught, why didn't he attempt to cover his tracks? Why wasn't he more surreptitious? Why didn't he take preventive measures to preserve his career and reputation?
Perhaps to answer these questions we have to probe the essence of our humanity. Why do we make mistakes? Why do we get emotionally enraged? Why do we say things and do things we live to regret? What does it mean to live as a human being?
Being human means striking the right balance between logic and passion. Like animals, we humans are pushed by our fears and pulled by our desires. Unlike animals, however, we have the unique human faculty of being able to manage our aversions and cravings. This is what really defines us as human beings.
Most people follow three universal, cardinal truths critical to the survival of humanity. It is deviance from these principles that causes people to stumble, relationships to implode, and nations to collapse. The three universal values are:
Reason should usually supersede emotion.
Placing reason before emotion prevents jealousy, suspicion, and phobia from causing bedlam and crippling relationships. Of course, there are exceptions. When a heartrending drama unfolds, it would be preposterous to "reason" whether crying would be appropriate.
Restraint should generally overpower instinct.
When restraint doesn't overpower instinct, then infatuation, desire, and reckless ambition cause untold havoc and destruction in relationships. A notable exception to this notion is the Fight or Flight response, the body's inborn response that prepares it to react to harm or threat.
Long-term integrity must always surpass short-term pleasure.
Long-term integrity should never be exchanged for short-term pleasure. Momentary gratification and accruement – whether from an unhealthy diet, an illicit relationship, or unethical financial dealings – directly cause disease, broken families, financial ruin, and untold spiritual impairment.
Judaism teaches us that the head should govern the heart. The head representing reason and foresight, the heart representing impulse and ephemeral gain. This is precisely why Judaism instructs the Jew to wear tefillin (phylacteries). Tefillin connect the head, the seat of logic and rational thought, with the heart, the conduit of emotion and instinct, so that a person never succumbs to passion alone.
Whether you feel anger, resentment, and jealousy brewing in your heart or temptation, lust, and attraction fomenting in your blood, it is pivotal to engage in an exercise to allow yourself objectivity. Ask yourself: Why am I having this feeling? What is motivating me? Am I still in control? Are my base instincts subverting my rational tendencies? Is my better judgment yielding to shortsightedness?
Sin waits at the door. It can be all consuming, or it can be conquered. Sin means capitulation to a damaging emotion, impulse, instinct, or gratification. Sin has tentacles and it traps. Just one lapse can cause a person to get more and more entangled.
What happens when one becomes ensnared by sin? Justification, validation, and rationalization become the norm.
Where did Eliot Spitzer go wrong? His desire for the limelight robbed him of reason, and so reason was no longer part of his equation. A lack of reason is automatically accompanied by an absence of foresight. It then becomes virtually impossible for the person – no matter how smart or credentialed – to ponder and anticipate consequences and repercussion. Instead of contrition, a delusional sense of invincibility takes over, and then things spiral out of control and it gets too late.
It happened to Abimelech, the king of Gerar, when he kidnapped the matriarch Sarah. Abraham says of Abimelech, "For I have seen there is no fear of God in this land, for they would kill me on the account of my wife." The Malbim interprets this as meaning that no matter how influential and intelligent one is, absent the fear of heaven one can potentially commit the most heinous crimes.
It happened to Pharaoh of Egypt who lost an entire kingdom. His notorious indomitableness resulted from a loss of reason, which impeded his senses and prudence.
It's happened countless times throughout history. Sadly, it is bound to happen again because sin waits at the door.

Chosen People Ministries, a Hebrew Christian missionary group, has spent $2.1 million to acquire a building and nearly $1 million more on renovations to construct an 11,000 square-foot missionary center in the heart of Flatbush. It will house a "synagogue," sefer Torah, classrooms, and a dining hall – all with the intention of attracting the general Orthodox community and particularly unaffiliated local Jews and adults at risk from frum homes who have abandoned Yiddishkeit or are on the fringe.
In our quest to be spiritual entities it is incumbent on us to learn Judaism's definition of a spiritual person.
Soap opera-like debacles have stunned, stupefied, and dismayed our community. We have witnessed a prime minister, governors, and men of stature plummet to the depths of scandal and ignominy. Especially disconcerting and the epitome of paradox is when revered men, charged to exemplify God's Word, purportedly disgrace His Word instead. Why do great men fall?
For thousands of years of Jewish history there wasn't a unique nomenclature classifying Torah-deviant Jews. Denominations like Conservative, Reform and Orthodox were non-existent. One was either more observant, less observant, or, in highly atypical cases, nonobservant.
I was apprised of the fact that a renowned rav and posek in Flatbush dedicated his Shabbos morning drasha to the plight of a young lady who was recently dismissed from her Brooklyn Bais Yaakov. It seems she vexed the administration because she asked her teacher incisive questions about the nature of Gan Eden. Thankfully, due to the intervention of this prominent rav, she was reinstated to her school.

Scratching Sound in Wall behind Refrigerator
Started hearing scratching/tapping noises in the wall behind the refrigerator about a month ago. We have a crawlspace so I am wondering if that has enabled some vermin to get into the walls. I have not seen any droppings or evidence of infestation just the random scratching sound, seems to happen at night before bed and around noon or so during the day when things are quiet.
Could this be mice? Is the humming of the fridge attracting them? I want to call an exterminator but at the same time I don't want to spend $200 being told what I suspect. I also shudder to think that I would have to have someone come in and smash drywall to get to the mice and then have to pay money to replace/repair the damage. This home is newly constructed for the most part, just the foundation, siding and one room are in the same shape prior to two years ago. The drywall, roof, studs, wiring, bathrooms, etc were all replaced.
There is no point in smashing through a wall to get to the mice (or even killing them) unless you stop them from returning again.
Take a long walk around the exterior of your home with an eagle eye towards any sort of opening. Look at the eaves, where any pipes or cables enter the home, around doors, windows, the entire foundation, etc.
Then look up- are there trees that overhang your house?
That provides a clear pathway as well.
They are coming in somewhere and the first task is to eliminate that possibility.
Then deal with any that are actually inside.
Probably a little late for this as if they were mice, they have died and have already stunk up the house. LOL!!! We had the same problem year after year. I finally opened up a hole in the wall and took the shop-vac and sucked them out. There were five live and four dead in the cavity. They did not come in through the crawlspace as a lot may think, they came in through the attic. I would bet the OP has a soffit in the kitchen. The mice will walk down through the soffit and when they reach the end, drop into the wall cavity. The soffits are normally built before a wall is sheetrocked and therefore are open on the backside. A mouse will dribble urine and feces along the way. Other mice can pick up that scent and will follow along. Once I located where they were getting into the soffit at, I blocked off the cavity that drops down into the wall. We have not had a mouse problem for quite a few years now. Before blocking off the soffit, we had mice in the wall cavity every Fall for a number of years. And if you live in the country, keeping mice out of a house is almost an impossibility. Once the weather starts to cool off in the Fall, they head towards warmer areas.
i think you have ice. i too heard scratching noises at bedtime and throughout the night. one night i pulled away the floor heater board and saw a mouse! those sticky glue traps work great. but then you have to check everywhere, like under the sink, inside cupboards, by the range, by water pipes/heaters, etc. for small openings and plug them. even then they may chew through them and come back.
Hello everyone..Had a similar problem at our Summer home. Would hear a scratching popping noise in a bathroom wall. You could knock on the wall and it would stop for a while but come back. This occured mostly at night. Turned out to be carpenter ants chewing wood in a 2x4 as they expanded a nest. Took off the wall paneling and removed the nest and old wood. Sealed all cracks and openings and never had a problem. Amazing the sound they can make in a wall. Best regards, Mark in Buffalo

Enid Burns | June 13, 2006 | Comments
Ad spending on the Internet was upgraded while the overall spend expectations came down slightly in a full-year forecast.
U.S. Internet ad spending, excluding search, is expected to increase by 13 percent in 2006, according to a revised full-year forecast released today by TNS Media Intelligence. Earlier estimates had pegged 2006 growth at just 9.1 percent.
The forecast sees growth on the Internet channel moving faster than any other. An earlier forecast placed Hispanic TV just ahead of the Internet. Growth in that channel is now expected to reach 12.9 percent, which is up from an earlier approximation of 10.4 percent growth. While these areas are showing growth, print media including newspaper and B2B magazines are expected to hold at about 19 percent of total ad volume this year.
"I think increased use of the Internet is taking away dollars from traditional media, notably areas like B2B magazines and local newspapers," Steven Fredericks, president and CEO of TNS Media Intelligence told ClickZ News. "It's not surprising to us. We see an increase [on the Internet] that continues to grow into double digits."
Growth on the Internet channel reached 19.4 percent in the first quarter.
Display advertising on the Internet currently accounts for 6.7 percent of total ad spend. That's $10 billion out of the total $150 billion that's spent on advertising. While TNS doesn't track search, Fredericks estimates that search accounts for about 50 percent of total Internet advertising when considering IAB figures.
"If you add search, total Internet advertising is probably 12 to 13 percent [of the total ad spend]," he said.
The Internet continues to be a driver of the increasing ad spend. Spending on advertising overall is expected to amount to 4.9 percent growth for the year, short of the 5.4 percent estimated earlier this year.
"If overall growth for all media is going to be 4.9 percent, and Internet growth is at 13 percent, it's growing faster than the general advertising index. It's going to be borrowing from other media at this point," said Fredericks. "That's causing a shift in how other media is presented, and how to best engage the consumer. Techniques are starting to evolve that lead to more effective use of advertising on the Internet."

- Olfaction;
- Aging
Olfactory event-related potentials (OERP) have been used to investigate olfactory processing in health and disease. However, the reliability of the OERP has yet to be established statistically. The present study examined test–retest reliability of the OERP over a 4-week interval. EEG was recorded from Fz, Cz, and Pz, using a single-stimulus paradigm with amyl acetate. Reliabilities for ERP component latencies and interpeak amplitudes were assessed as intraclass and Pearson product-moment correlation coefficients. Reliabilities were higher for latency than for amplitude. Highest correlation coefficients were observed for P2 latency, specifically at Cz and Pz P3 amplitude and latency exhibited high reliability at Cz and Pz. Fz demonstrated weakest correlation coefficients. The data suggest that OERP reliability is comparable to that of auditory and visual ERPs, supporting the use of OERPs in both basic research and clinical assessment.
