Every morning, around 5 a.m., before the sunlight splashes on the beige bedroom walls of the weathered farmhouse in Upperco, Charlene Miller stirs, yawns — and prays.
Thank you, Lord, for helping me come through the night.
She doesn't get up. Several hours later, she nudges her husband of 49 years. Fred Miller wakens grumbling, as usual. But the old Baltimore Colt lineman rises, circles the bed and kisses her gently on the cheek.
Charlene stays put. Fred lumbers downstairs, rustles up breakfast and starts his chores around the 46-acre farm. He mows, stacks firewood in the corncrib, weeds the garden filled with tomatoes, eggplants and black-eyed peas, and tries to stay within earshot of the woman he dotes on, day and night.
Charlene Miller, 69, suffers from scoliosis, an abnormal curvature of the spine, and related degenerative back ailments. That, coupled with a stroke in 2009, has left her mostly bedridden for the past two years.
When she became disabled, Fred, an All Pro defensive tackle who played for Baltimore's 1970 Super Bowl champions, became housekeeper. At 70, he cooks, cleans, shops for and fusses over the woman he met while both attended Louisiana State.
"I'm not going to take her to a nursing home, leave her, and walk out the door like some people do," Fred said. "Our marriage vows said, 'in sickness and in health.' This is what it meant."
The back pain began before Charlene had her first child, in 1963 — a dull, throbbing ache that she attributed to her pregnancy. Doctors discovered scoliosis and warned that more pregnancies would aggravate her curved spine.
"Watch me," said Charlene, who bore four sons in six years.
"It wasn't a decision that was flagrantly made," she said. "Fred and I talked and prayed about it. He was the only male Miller in his family. I wanted more boys, if I could, for Fred."
The pain worsened and, in 1972, Charlene had disk surgery, the first of four back operations over the next seven years. She continued to care for family and farm. She was a den mother with the Cub Scouts and the hostess to Colts' families who came to the homestead for hayrides and pig roasts.
"I was hurting, but I didn't let it stop me," she said. "I chose to get up, and to do, and to make our lives as normal as a family could be. I felt like hell, but God got me through it."
At what price? Charlene now uses a walker to hobble around, and an electric stair lift to cheat the steps. Air horns scattered about help to beckon Fred, who has grown hard of hearing. Football took its toll on him: the man has had three back surgeries, and his left knee, he said, is "store-bought." But he muddles on, caring for Charlene with a stoic resolve.
At bedtime, after he has washed the dishes, brought in the dog and dispensed Charlene's meds, Fred tromps upstairs and curls up beside her, a cowboy book by Louis L'Amour in hand. She reads Danielle Steel. Sometimes, they watch TV. Ladies' choice.
"Usually, I'm harangued into watching [reruns of] 'The Waltons,' or Dr. What's-Her-Name, Medicine Woman," Fred said. "Every once in awhile, I'll sneak a cowboy movie in there."
Then it's lights out.
"At night, we hold hands and say the Lord's Prayer, and what's in our hearts," Charlene said. "I thank God for this man, this wonderful gift right out of His hands. He took those vows and has kept every one.
"He loves me, even though I look like a banana when I walk. I can't go out dancing with him, but I love him more than anything — and I believe he loves me that much, too."

Denver, Colorado (PRWEB) September 26, 2013
http://www.SclerosisTreatment.com reveals that this new healing method actually is a remarkable cure for multiple sclerosis.
This impressive healing plan is the result of years of work, as its creator Dr. Gary M. Levin claims.
According to Dr. Levin's own testimony, the specialist decided to start his own research with the main purpose to find a unique method of curing multiple sclerosis, as he wanted to be able to help his patients feel better.
For this purpose to be achieved, the author of this new method had to focus on tracing the cause of multiple sclerosis first. To read the full review go to: http://www.sclerosistreatment.com/2013/02/multiple-sclerosis-natural-treatment.html
In fact, this is what the treatment does: traces the cause of multiple sclerosis to eliminate it forever. Once the cause is gone, patients will experience gradual symptoms relief.
In his complex eBook, Dr. Gary M. Levin also explains how this condition is developed. According to him the real problem patients are dealing with is an overactive immune system.
This is why the specialist proposes a series of methods to improve the immune system's ability to recognize the fact that it is not working properly.
In the Natural MS Treatment review readers will also discover that certain drugs and medications recommended for this disease actually have an undesired effect. Instead of curing the condition, they only make it worse.

5.0 out of 5 stars ONE OF THE BEST BY ONE OF THE BEST
I will keep this short since so much has already been said, but I was recently making my own lists and realized that this film is in my all time top 5. This is the film where style MEETS substance, or perhaps where style DETERMINES substance.

2.0 out of 5 stars What's all the fuss?
Thirty years ago this film left me feeling cold and empty, but after seeing these five star reviews I decided to give it another chance. I was ready to admit that perhaps I had missed something in my youthful days. No such luck. This film did not age gracefully. I am a great fan of Leonard Cohen but thirty years ago he lacked the deep somber tones he does so well today...

I will keep this short since so much has already been said, but I was recently making my own lists and realized that this film is in my all time top 5. This is the film where style MEETS substance, or perhaps where style DETERMINES substance.
Altman is arguably the most important American director after Welles. His use of panorama and flow---every tv show today uses Altman's flow through technique---make you want to watch this film over and over. Once for the story, once just to appreciate his fluid camera motion, once to appreciate how he maintains large groups and then focuses on one person in the group, and once again to watch how it all works.
Even Altman's failures, and he had his share of those, are still interesting to watch. I would rather watch a bad Altman film than films by most other directors, and that especially means directors like Woody Allen and Martin Scorsese, who i think are highly over rated.
But this is one of Altman's best.

5.0 out of 5 stars Gorgeous, unique 'Western' that turns a genre upside down. But no DVD in Canada?!?,
K. Gordon - See all my reviews
A beautiful tone poem of a film. The story is a bit thin, but the cinematography, the Leonard Cohen songs, the style of the acting creates a western unlike any other, at once surreal and dreamlike, and yet somehow also hyper-real, as though we were eavesdropping through history. The first half has an intentionally meandering feel, that tightens ever more to a terrifically tense climax. This is a film much more about tone, mood, and feeling than story or even character. Sadly the DVD transfer of this amazing looking film is mediocre at best. If ever a film begged for the Criterion treatment or Blu-ray, or both, this is it.
What's even worse is that the DVD isn't even available at Amazon.ca! However it is on the US Amazon. As much as it's an imperfect transfer, that's still wildly preferable to an aging VHS tape!

5.0 out of 5 stars Unforgettable portrayal,
KenCo "misanthrope" (Toronto, Ontario Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Mccabe & Mrs Miller [Import] (VHS Tape)
I saw this movie in the theatre many years ago, my first exposure to Robert Altman's fluid style. The movie is a portrait - the cinematography is beautiful, it left me with the same feelings I get while looking at great photographs. I was stunned by the dark mood the movie creates and by some of my feelings, especially my shock at the central murder scene on the bridge.
I thought Keith Carradine's role as the cowboy is the best acting in this film, and if you watch him play Bill Hickok in Deadwood, you'll hardly believe you're seeing the same actor, so great are his talents.
This movie has remained on my all-time favourites list since 1971. But you will not find "excitement" or "action" here. It's simply an exceptional portrait of a special time and place.

5.0 out of 5 stars The very best kind of movie--as good as it gets,
Jane Z. Hinsdale - See all my reviews
This review is from: McCabe & Mrs. Miller (DVD)
Put together Robert Altman, Warren Beatty, and Julie Christie 30 years ago and you have an excellent piece of work. This is a classic tragedy, and colors, lighting, scenery, behavior of chatacters, all mingle to act out a story whose end is predicted in the opening scenes by the singer in the background. The conclusion comes inexorably, always foreshadowed by the ballad in the background. In between we have vices, beauty, nearly everything from the human condition. Don't miss this beautiful, tragic story of greed, love, and hopelessness.
5.0 out of 5 stars Only a Handful of Great Westerns & This Is One of Them!,
carol irvin "carol irvin" (United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: McCabe & Mrs. Miller (DVD)
"Red River" and "Unforgiven" top my list of the greatest Westerns ever made. Right behind those classics is this film. Director Robert Altman gives us the West as it probably really was if you can peel back the stuff of myth and legend. Warren Beatty and Julie Christie play the hardly heroic leads who are trying to reinvent themselves in the West out of lack of other choices. Beatty is a very flawed, somewhat cowardly entrepreneur while Christie is a madam for the local prostitutes, potentially a much better entrepreneur, albeit a bit of a hop head. They have an affair of sorts that is about the best this twosome can ever hope to have and that's not saying much. After you experience living in this hard scrabble, barely standing town, you will be so glad you were not a hearty pioneer! I know I am. There is nothing glamorous or romantic about this existence in the least and Altman does not flinch from the task of laying before us the unvarnished West. Beatty and Christie also do not flinch from playing these disreputable founders of the Old West.
5.0 out of 5 stars Money and pain....pain, pain, pain.......,
Archmaker (California) - See all my reviews
This is first class film-making all the way.
The West of Robert Altman (Pacific Northwest more precisely) is not the the usual West of Hollywood. Peopled by poor working stiffs & idiots at the mercy of hustlers, gamblers, killers and whores, and inevitably, by politicians & big business in the form of the quietly rapacious Railroad, it is wet, nasty, dirty, and harsh.
A small-time gambler McCabe (Beatty) becomes an entrepenuer (saloon & brothel) in the soggy and filthy mining town of Presbyterian with the aid of a sharp and clever English madam (Christie) only to have his newfound prosperity & "status" threatened by a ruthless larger enterprise. This is a true American story. Not the only American story, but just as valid as any others.
Filmed in real rain and real snow on location, this film just has lots and lots of good stuff. The plight of the cowboy on the bridge (Keith Carradine) facing a psychotic baby-faced gunslinger, McCabe's desperate battle in the snow, the overlapping dialogue with very funny throw-away lines, the appropriate use of Leonard Cohen's songs, and the beautiful cinematography. It is a rich film that only improves on multiple viewings.
This movie says more about the underlying dark side of the conquest of the American West than Cimino's Heaven's Gate did in half the time and probably 1/10th of the budget. Of course, that is the difference between a would-be "artiste" and a guy who makes movies that turn out to be art.
The quality of the VHS is only fair. This film cries out for DVD. But, if this is the only way to see it....see it.
5.0 out of 5 stars Sad Spellbinder, A Beautiful Film!,
Bertin Ramirez "justareviewer" (San Ysidro, California United States) - See all my reviews
The deglamorization of the western has never been made so beautifully. One of the sadest films ever made. Altman has basically no compassion for his characters, that is the reason we care so much about them. Warren Beatty gives probably his best performance as the gambler McCabe who transforms a small mining town into a busy boomtown. Julie Christie is also excellent as the business wise hooker that brings 'high class girls' to the town. What make this one unique are the beautiful landscapes that are expertly captured by the masterful cinematography, the haunting and unforgettable Leonard Cohen songs, and powerhouse direction by Altman who brings us richly textured characters that provide a breathtaking and unforgettable cinematic experience. The film also features one of the saddest deaths in Western history, young cocky Keith Carradine is tricked by a ruthless gunslinger and meats his death on that fatal bridge. The last scenes in the snow storm where the antihero McCabe is put into a heroic position is unbearably poignant and unbelievably beautiful. A fascinating film that has a lot to offer. From a scale of 1-10 I give this film a 9!
5.0 out of 5 stars Altman at his best.......,
Brooke276 (Denver, CO) - See all my reviews
Masterful character study manages a rare feat: demystifying the West without resorting to heavy-handedness and obvious targets. While the overall soundness of expansion is questioned, Altman is far more interested in the dynamics of community and how individualism is often sacrificed in the name of "progress." McCabe, played by Warren Beatty in what might be his best performance, is a vintage anti-hero; self-absorbed, bumbling, deluded, and concerned only with his own interests. Mrs. Miller, played wonderfully by Julie Christie, manages to evade cliché at every turn, never resorting to a "heart-of-gold" status and always keeping her eye on the bottom line. Their relationship, central to Altman's vision, gives us a dirty, unglamorous frontier, full of mindless violence, decay, and prostitution; again not the Hollywood version, but rather as it most likely was (and is). McCabe & Mrs. Miller co-exist not as friends or lovers, but rather as a business alliance, reinforcing Altman's belief that communities come together not out of a sense of sentiment or loving connection, but rather to build industry and frankly, make money. Once again, Altman uses overlapping dialogue, muffled conversations, and music (the soundtrack consists solely of sad Leonard Cohen songs) to convey character and the inability of people to engage in meaningful interactions. As McCabe wanders in a blizzard near the end of the film attempting to evade death at the hands of hired guns, members of the community he helped build remain oblivious to his plight as they instead focus on a burning church. Hopeless, alone, and facing a meaningless death, we are again put face to face with the stark truth provided by Altman. In the Old West, like any other historical era or region, there are no last-minute heroics or gentlemen atop white horses, only the sounds of the pipe dreamers and individuals gasping their last breaths as the wheels of capital grind on.
5.0 out of 5 stars One of the BEST Films Ever Made,
Aaron (Chicago, Illinois USA) - See all my reviews
McCabe and Mrs. Miller is yet another brillant work from Robert Altman who along with Scorsese ranks as the two greatest filmmakers America has produced. Next to "Nashville", this is Altman's best film. One of Altman's devices is to take an established genre of filmmaking and turn it completely inside out and reexamine it. Here, Altman has made a Western (or is is an Anti-Western)like no other. This neither looks nor feels like any other film I've seen. Warren Beatty gives the performance of his career here(you would'nt know he and Altman were at odds the entire shoot) and I will forever remember the lovely Julie Christie as Mrs. Miller, the tough talking shrewd and business smart prostitute. Altman's sensational style of filmmaking perfectly suits the material, his remarkable use of overlapping dialogue demands multiple viewings, and Vilmos Zsigmond's incredible, ususual cinematography is endlessly fascinating to look at. And ,as with most of Altman's work, one can interpet the film a number of ways. Is it a tough look at achieving the American Dream, or is it a study of American frontierism/individualism vs. community/democracy? Is it (as one previous reviewer commented)an indictment of Capitalism and a look at the way Big Business encroached on the frontier and a simple way of life. Is it a study of loneliness and heroism? The answer is yes to all of these. To top it off, Altman's use of Leonard Cohen's songs to accompany the film adds to the overall sense of melancholy, it fits it beautifully. If I sound like I'm gushing, I am, great films have that effect. See this now!
5.0 out of 5 stars Altman's best,
By A Customer
I generally hate thinly veiled indictments of capitalism, which is of course the favorite theme of the major hippie filmmakers -- and certainly a favorite topic of film critics feeling the need to prove they went to college.
But this movie looks and feels so genuine that I will forgive its dime-store Marxism and simply enjoy the groundbreaking use of overlapping sound; the authentic frontier town recreation; the wonderfully grubby-looking extras; the unusually filtered cinematography; and the best film performance Warren Beatty has ever given or ever will give.
Altman's even manages to make use of the songs of Leonard Cohen. To be frank, Cohen is pretty hard to take; he is in fact the most pretentious singer-songwriter of the last thirty years. (That's quite a claim, I realize -- and yes, I'm familiar with Harry Chapin.) But Altman manages to find images resonant enough to stand up underneath Cohen's bombast, even making it sound appropriate.
Having read a little about the, um, undisciplined way that Altman makes movies (not to mention his clashes with Beatty), it seems unbelievable that this turned out so well. But in fact it's Altman's best film, one of the better films of the 70's and perhaps, heaven forbid, a masterpiece.

External Affairs Minister S. M. Krishna on Friday asked Karnataka and Tamil Nadu to sit across the table and evolve an amicable formula on sharing of Cauvery waters.
"Evolving of such a formula by mutual consent is unlikely to be impeded by the ongoing legal battle between the two States and also the fresh legal suits that may arise in the wake of the fresh controversy over water sharing," Mr. Krishna, a former Chief Minister of Karnataka, said in a statement issued here.
Mr. Krishna, who hails from the Cauvery heartland — Mandya district — where the Krishnaraja Sagar reservoir is located, suggested that Karnataka could ensure release of 4500 cusecs to Tamil Nadu at the Biligundlu gauging station till October 15. The remaining 4500 cusecs would automatically flow into the neighbouring State from seepage of water.
"Such a decision would be in the interest of both States," he said.
Karnataka has refused to accept Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's suggestion, as Chairman of the Cauvery River Authority (CRA), to release 9,000 cusecs to Tamil Nadu till October 15, citing acute shortage in its reservoirs, a decision hailed by farmers and also Opposition parties, including the Congress to which Mr. Krishna belongs.
"I am committed to protecting the interest of farmers of the Cauvery basin. I express my concern to farmers and also share their anxiety as one of those who belong to Cauvery basin. My concern for farmers is placed above the pseudo sympathy expressed for them," he said.
In the backdrop of the monsoon season ending in Karnataka and as it was set to begin in Tamil Nadu, it would be advisable to come to an understanding on the water-sharing issue, including the formula he suggested, Mr. Krishna said. He said Karnataka should challenge the CRA decision in the Supreme Court and he would support such a move.

concrete footers and slab
I am thinking about building a soundproof music room workshop and am wondering what to expect as far as concrete costs go. I want to build on a concrete slab that would be 16 ft. x 20 ft. Digging in the area would not be a problem for the footers. I do not want to have to do anything myself. I live in Richmond, VA. What do you think? Thanks!
I don't know how thick you want it, but its sold by the yard. I did an area a few years back about the same size. But I only paid for the truck and concrete I finished it myself. I think for that size it was about 350 bucks worth of concrete. I know you said you dont want to, but if you did float and finish it you can save a ton of money!:)
Easy, call your local concrete suppliers and get costs by-the-yard quotes.
If you want to look at the costs of having it done by a foundation contractor, call one and have him come out to your house.
Your property has to be seen. Difficulty getting heavy equipment on site, will raise costs.

They would sing at family functions, but the two Pashtun girls didn't take their musical talent seriously until they uploaded their songs on the Internet, while studying in the U.S. Penned and composed by Haniya and sung by both, the songs created a virtual fan base and were played even on radio channels in Pakistan.
Later, encouraged by friends and well-known musicians in Pakistan, Zeb and Haniya released an album. Its extraordinary success led them to do live shows across Pakistan, Europe and America. And then like they say there has been no stopping them.
How does it feel when passion turns into a vocation?
Zeb: It's an amazing feeling… we are truly blessed that we are today able to live out some of our dreams. But I must say that everything is happening so naturally that at some level it has not even registered. We still feel that it is a journey that we have to continue and the best part is the overwhelming love and warmth we are getting from everyone.
Girl bands seem to disband very fast. What is the secret behind the success of the Zeb and Haniya band? How difficult is it to sustain popularity and good work?
Haniya: I don't know if that is true in general, but Zeb and I aren't really just a 'girl band'. We're also cousins and have known each other practically since infancy. And more than being related and being friends, we share a great creative dynamic, which is something rare. We may disagree on many things, but we always respect each other's creative vision and insight. And perhaps that's one of the main reasons behind our success.
Zeb: I think it's also due to the fact that we understand and give each other space in our personal lives, and respect each other professionally. It's interesting that we work well together but have our own styles of working, so much so that Haniya likes to work late into the night and I am a true morning person and like to get to bed early.
How is the response to your music in the subcontinent and in Europe and America?
Zeb: When we started off — before our album came out — the labels told us that the music was great and fresh sounding, but would only appeal to a niche segment. But when our music was released, we were surprised to know that we were being appreciated by a diversity of people. It felt great to know our music was appealing to a much larger audience than any of us had anticipated.
Haniya: Then through the Internet we reached our largest fan base outside of Pakistan which is in India and it didn't stop there. We've received emails from the most unexpected places, such as Kazakhstan, Afghanistan, Indonesia, Brazil and Germany. We started getting invited for International performances and have performed in Malaysia, New York, Italy, Norway and France. Some of these shows had huge audiences, as large as 15,000 people.
Is it a conscious decision not to restrict your music to genres? Is it variety that draws youth to your music?
Zeb: No. It was not a conscious decision. We love all kinds of music and have always listened to such a variety that when we set out to compose and write our own music all kinds of influences quite naturally came together. We made whatever music we loved without being conscious of what genre it belonged to.
Haniya: In fact, I didn't even know what a genre was till I went to college in the U.S. and my friends asked me what genre of music I listened to. I guess what draws any listener to our music is that we write songs which we ourselves would want to hear, and we try and let each song take its own form.
Most of your compositions are in Urdu, Turkish and Pashto. Has language ever been a barrier?
Haniya: Music truly transcends borders and barriers. And language certainly hasn't been one for us. One of our most popular songs in Pakistan is 'Bibi Sanam Janem', with over two million YouTube hits. This song is in Dari, a language which is not understood by most Pakistanis. Similarly we have performed live in Europe and North America to audiences who are non-Urdu/Hindi speaking.
Zeb: It was so heartening to perform live in France to a totally French-speaking audience, and see them having a great time singing along with us in Urdu and Dari.

Paula Deanda ft. Lil' Wayne - Easy
Artist: Paula DeAnda
Featuring: Bow Wow
Producer: Danja, Timbaland
Album: Paula DeAnda
Avg Rating: 3.8 ( 9 votes )
With a commanding voice, strong lyrics, and an addictive beat, it has to be almost Easy for Paula DeAnda. On this sure-fire club anthem 17 year DeAnda shows she's grown from a TRL teen to a fully independent woman that refuses to be played. Between DeAnda's Easy and Beyonce's Irreplaceable, 2007 is shaping up to be a bad year for cheating boyfriends and playas. Lil' Wayne continues to set the world record for "most guest verses in a year" and flashes his usual rasp and creative wordplay. Fair warning guys, DeAnda will have every woman in the club out to prove they can't be had so damn easy.
Note: Bow Wow replaced Lil Wayne on the video single version.

Congratulations to Yonder Alonso who today was named International League Player of the Week for 7/26-8/1
From Jamie Ramsey:
Congratulations to Yonder Alonso who today was named International League Player of the Week for 7/26-8/1
I don't know how you typed that so fast. I got the Tweet and came here to post the same thing. :)
Week: 6 .480 12 25 7 4 1 2 6 .960 4 0
Season: 74 .286 85 297 32 21 1 9 42 .455 23 7
How much worse than Gomes would Alonso be as a left fielder? I'm talking strictly defensively here.
Worse. How much worse is very difficult to say. I'd bet Yonder could play left but he needs to put in a lot of work there before I'd want to see him there in Cincy.
He certainly cant have a worse arm.
From Ben Badler:
#Reds Triple-A 1B Yonder Alonso's last 200 PAs: .326/.377/.527 with 7 HRs. Hamate injury getting further in the past
Dunn must be horrifically slow then because Yonder is extremely slow. Unless he's turned into Juan Pierre since last season.
I tell you what if Vottos wrist is tweeked enough I wouldnt mind giving Yonder a quick peak.
Congrats to Yonder! :clap:
From minorleaguebaseball. com:
Yonder Alonso helped his red hot Louisville Bats to victories in each of the teams six games this week, as he led the International League with a .480 batting average, 12 hits, and a .960 slugging percentage. He was 2nd in the League with a .552 on-base percentage and 4 doubles, and tied for 3rd with 2 home runs. Alonso and his teammates set the tone for the week on Monday, as they exploded for 19 runs in the series opener against Charlotte (with Alonso going 4-6 with a double, RBI, and two runs scored). The next night he put the Bats ahead for good with a solo homer in the 7th inning of a 7-5 victory. When the division-leading Columbus Clippers came to town over the weekend, Alonso continued his hot hitting. He drove in four runs in the 10-2 win Saturday night, collecting two doubles and a home run. His 11th and 12th hit of the week came yesterday in another Bats win, giving the team ten in a row. Louisville currently leads the Wild Card race by 3.0 games over Syracuse.
As far as Left Field is concerned, I believe the Reds have given up on making him a left fielder, so I'm guessing he is pretty bad.
I don't know that they have given up. When Dorn and Francisco went down it limited the options on who could play 1B in Louisville. Frazier for certain but then there was no real solve for 3B unless you moved everyone around.The easy plug and play thing to do was Alonso at 1B. If he doesn't get moved there for the AFL then it's probably official that he will be moved at the Winter Meetings.

Congressman Introduces Video Game Warning Label Legislation 208
from the esrb-not-good-enough-for-you dept.
Huge unemployment, wars still raging in Iraq/Afghanistan, debt at crippling levels, and people losing their homes at huge levels, great to see the important stuff like video games is being addressed.
Every time a politician brings this up, it just shows how out of touch (old?) they are. Hopefully this won't be too much of a problem in not too many years as people who grew up gaming end up in positions of power and see that it's just a pastime. Golfing/Tennis/few rounds at the bar. It's just so not worth spending any time over, and shows they probably shouldn't be holding any positions where their opinions matter if this is the best they can come up with on something todo.
Your good nature will bring unbounded happiness.

The Haus of Maus
A faint murmur wafted toward the entrance of "Art Spiegelman's Co-Mix: A Retrospective" at the Jewish Museum in New York City. Barely audible and wholly indecipherable at first, it grew louder as one moved through the first few galleries and could begin to discern a human voice. Then, at the center of the show, amid scores of preliminary sketches, research materials and finished panels from Spiegelman's masterpiece Maus, one discovered its source: excerpts of the interviews that the artist recorded with his father, Vladek, beginning in 1972, in which Vladek recounts his experience surviving in Nazi-occupied Poland and in Auschwitz—the basis of his son's celebrated two-volume graphic memoir, published in book form in 1986 and 1991.
Encountering Vladek's voice was shocking. In part that's because, as with any retrospective, "Co-Mix" is dominated by the artist's consciousness, and the intrusion of someone else's breaks the spell that is one of the pleasures of a large solo survey—submerging oneself entirely in a single imagination. First mounted in Angoulême, France, in 2012, then moving on to Paris, Cologne and Vancouver before showing in New York (with some additions) for four months, and now headed to Toronto for a December opening at the Art Gallery of Ontario, the exhibit is the first to take stock of Spiegelman's sweeping fifty-year career. If his sensibility has remained constant, his drawing style has shifted constantly over the decades—from the inchoate, simple-line caricatures in the hectographed satirical zine Blasé that he produced at age 15, to the busy, bulbous, lurid scenes of his underground comix years in the early 1970s; the visual homages to old masters like Winsor McCay and Chester Gould as he staked out an avant-garde in the '80s; and the stark graphic forms in the painted-glass window he recently designed for his alma mater, New York's High School of Art and Design. Meanwhile, from the mid-'60s through the '80s, Spiegelman paid the rent by working in another, altogether different vernacular, parodying consumer goods and popular dolls in the Topps bubble-gum sticker series Wacky Packages ("Crust Toothpaste," "Botch Tape," etc.) and Garbage Pail Kids ("Bony Joanie," "Potty Scotty," etc.). From early on, and to this day, Spiegelman's work betrays a restless, cheeky intellect at play, filtered through a smarty-pants Jewish anxiety; he tests the formal limits of his medium while championing its illustrious history, and refuses to give up the charge of épater le bourgeoisie (despite knowing how long ago that battery drained).
Against the twitchy irreverence and boho self-consciousness of Spiegelman's art, Vladek's voice sounds steady and calm, its soothing tone all the more astonishing in contrast to the tale it tells. Spiegelman's first stab at Maus, a three-page strip that ran in a 1972 underground comic (with a cover by R. Crumb) called Funny Aminals, captures the disjunction brilliantly by figuring Vladek's narration as a bedtime story. After an opening panel that mimics Margaret Bourke-White's famous photograph of Buchenwald prisoners in striped uniforms lined up behind barbed wire—but with the inmates drawn as mice and one, in the second row, labeled "Poppa"—the story begins. Poppa sits on the edge of his son Mickey's bed, the boy snugly bundled under the covers, head on his father's lap. Poppa describes life in the ghetto, then its liquidation, the hiding place he and Momma shared with several others in an attic, their betrayal to the Gestapo, and so on, all in highly condensed language that incorporates the syntactical and prepositional glitches of a non-native English speaker. ("One night it was a stranger sitting in the downstairs of the house…") The story is told via narrative captions, while the panels illustrate those scenes—goateed and helmeted cats pursuing long-snouted mice, with no trace of the word "Jew," "Nazi" or "Holocaust," the mice wearing "M" badges rather than yellow stars—and the story occasionally flashes forward to the cozy bedroom in Rego Park. By page 3, Poppa and Momma have been sent to "Mauschwitz." One panel shows a pair of mice in striped uniforms hauling a skeletal corpse to a heap adjacent to the smoke-spewing crematorium chimneys, and the next crosscuts back to Queens, where Poppa tucks Mickey in, telling him it's time to sleep. The sweet final image—it almost looks like it was culled from the Russell Hoban–Garth Williams children's classic Bedtime for Frances, which features a family of adorable badgers—belies the nightmares sure to trouble the child's slumber.
When he was first invited to contribute to Funny Aminals, Spiegelman imagined a 1950s-style horror comic about a mouse caught in a trap, as he relates in a series of autobiographical strips. The comic portrays him as stuck until he visits a film class where his friend Ken Jacobs lectures on the parallels between early animation and minstrelsy; Spiegelman envisages a piece about racism in America, with lynched mice and "Ku Klux Kats." But as he lumbers down a snowy road, mice scampering behind him, he quickly realizes, in a thought bubble: "Shit! I know bupkis about being Black in America. Bupkis." The caption adds: "Then Hitler's notion of Jews as vermin offered a metaphor closer to home." The next panel shows the sun shining over a row of homes in Rego Park, while a single gray cloud engulfs only the "Maus Haus" in rain.
* * *
Later, when Spiegelman decided to pursue a long-form comic based on his father's story, the animal motif made even more sense: Spiegelman knew he could never find out what the particular Germans and Jews his parents encountered looked like (as the canvas expanded, he added Poles as pigs and Americans as dogs), and he also realized that the accuracy he wanted to convey would be better served through abstraction. At the same time, the schema functioned as a distancing device, inoculating the work against sentimentality. The drawings became simpler than those in the 1972 strip—and as the visual variety in "Co-Mix" makes plain, this was a painstakingly deliberate choice—but the framing device became much more complex. And this is the third reason that hearing Vladek's voice is so startling: in the full Maus, Vladek's story is always mediated. To happen upon it naked feels like a violation.
Here, Spiegelman portrays himself not as a little boy, but as the adult son drawing the story out of Vladek and then drawing it onto paper—both arduous processes of stops and starts, digressions and snags, erasures and harrowing details. Thus, the story of the story—set in the narrative present in Queens, SoHo and the Catskills—focuses on the relationship between the Holocaust-survivor parent and the boomer-generation child, as well as the process of representing the putatively unrepresentable.
One effect of this structure—and a reason for Maus's blockbuster success—is that it blasts away the mawkish and heroic tropes of familiar Holocaust narratives. I have always thought of Maus as the flip side of Anne Frank's diary, and not only because (as Maus's subtitle puts it) it is "A Survivor's Tale." Both diaries—Spiegelman's framing story, after all, is the first-person account of Art's trials—are told in the youthful voice of an aspiring artist with a sharp eye for the irritating foibles of others, an ardor for popular culture and a sense of belonging to a rich, if remote, wider world. But Anne's story, of course, is cut off abruptly, with the pathos of her life and talent left unfulfilled. Where she is all innocent promise, Art is a guilt-wracked success. A panel in Maus II shows him, bedecked in a mouse mask, hunched at his drawing table and describing Maus I's triumph. Part of a Nazi guard tower can be glimpsed outside his window; there's a pile of emaciated corpses at his feet. A speech bubble from an unseen figure—Hollywood tempter or Nazi executioner?—announces, "Alright Mr. Spiegelman. We're ready to shoot."
Maus tells of an older brother, Richieu, whom Art never met: his parents left Richieu with friends in a vain attempt to save his life; he died in Poland somewhere around the age of 6. A photograph of Richieu (one of three actual snapshots reproduced and collaged into Maus) hung in their parents' bedroom—a silent rebuke to the comfortable boy in Queens, alive and thus capable of becoming a disappointment. Anne Frank has occupied a similar place in the Jewish-American psyche: despite her moments of adolescent sarcasm and (at one time, expurgated) sexual curiosity, she came down to us as the irreproachable Jewish daughter, haunting the girlhoods of those growing up flawed and fortunate in postwar America, who were enjoined to remember that we, too (no matter if our own parents were born here in safety), could have been pursued and exterminated like vermin. Among his other achievements, Spiegelman intimately lays bare this dynamic, with all its rancor, yearning and shame. Even in a bowdlerized Hollywood or Broadway adaptation, one could never imagine Art believing, in spite of everything, that people are really good at heart. Hasn't that always been part of Maus's allure?

A recent article in the New York Times reports on a development in the ongoing saga of how people will meet their expenses in retirement. A borrowing technique has been heavily marketed, called pension advances, which are high interest loans that require borrowers to sign over part or all of their monthly pension checks. Interest rates on these loans are typically very high, ranging, according to one survey, from 27% to 106%. Concerns have been expressed that retirees are mortgaging their futures, at a high cost, in an area where there is little or no state or federal regulation.

Much like their debut, it'll take a few listens to be pulled towards Myth Takes by the force operates at its core.
There are moments when they seem to lose sight of what it is exactly that makes them so interesting to begin with, writing songs that seem stuck halfway between dance and conventional indie rock.

Great ambiance, delicious food and attentive staff! Beautiful experience! No dislikes I can think of
Wonderful host and very good Thai food. The place is filled with locals, but it is almost impossible to see from Highway 395, so it does not seem to be a tourist spot.
The best and only Thai in Gardnerville--but thats ok--Jaffee does a great job as the host with the most and the staff is awesome--best Thai Ive had--good thing since I live here--thanks Jaffee for giving us what we want--great food, atmosphere, and service
We are so grateful for this delicious spot! We lived in Las Vegas for 11 years and were exposed to some great food including Thai. We love the Tom Kha soup, Spicy Ground Beef, Musman Curry, and Pad Kee Mao! Yum!!!
for those who love Thai, This is the place to visit. the dishes are rated 1-5 on a hot level but you can ask for Number 7 I did and it was a pleasure to eat. They have all the traditional Thai dishes and Thai beer to go with it. its in a shopping center off the main Drag don't...
I've not been to this restaurant since my wife passed two years ago. She truly enjoyed Thai food, as I do too. It's well decorated, not cheesy, and the food is quite tasty. I'm getting back into Asian Cooking and was last winter in that part of the world, so I'll try it again, soon.
We have eaten here several times now and have thoroughly enjoyed all of our meals. The food is excellent and always served hot. Service is impeccable and served courteously. We feel that the food is reasonably priced and the quantities just right for lunch. If you like Thai Pad noodles, this is the place to go. Highly recommend the restaurant...
Geoff, the owner, has treated us so good over the years. We actually started having Christmas Eve dinner there a few years ago and It has turned into a family tradition now. Everything is excellent!! Avocado green curry with chicken our favorite.
First visit to Thai Jasmine. Went with a friend who loves the place.
Service was quick and courteous, and the food was delicious.
I took my wife here for lunch on her Birthday. This was our first time to eat at this resturant, although we had take out from here, the take out was excellent. So we decided to have lunch at the resturant. We were promptly greeted, and shown to our table. The young man serving us excellent, he explained the menu...

Fortifications, Maastricht
23 Reviews
23 Reviews
Just outside the city centre, you find the old city defense lines, which surrounded Maastricht underground and partly above ground. In the Hoge Fronten (nowadays a national park) and the city park near the police station, you can still access this old world of lines, which had access to the 4 nuclear shelters of the city Maastricht (one remained intact and can be visited).
What Kilroy was to the twentieth century, Vauban was to the seventeenth. Wherever you went in Western Europe, Vauban had already been there and had designed, built, strengthened – or conquered – the fortifications.
Sébastien Le Prestre de Vauban (1633-1707), is considered by military buffs to be "one of the greatest military engineers of all time." (Since I am not a military buff, I'll simply take their word for it.) During his lifetime, Vauban was responsible for the fortification of over 160 places in France and neighboring countries. But they say his major contribution was that he developed new methods of attack which revolutionized siege warfare.
As I have already mentioned in one of my Freiburg im Breisgau reviews, one of Vauban's many projects was to fortify the Schloßberg, overlooking Freiburg, after French troops occupied that German city in 1677.
Today an entire district of Freiburg is named after Vauban, but not just any old district. On the site of a former French military base, the city of Freiburg has developed the Sustainable Model District Vauban, a new district for more than 5000 inhabitants and 600 jobs, using renewable energy resources and planned for the needs of people, not cars.
In Paris there is a monument to Vauban in the Invalides, in one of the side niches adjoining Napoléon's tomb.
The French King Louis XIV sent Vauban to Maastricht in 1673 with 45,000 troops for the purpose of overcoming the existing fortifications and occupying the city. Vauban accomplished this within three weeks, using new tactics of his own devising.
For the next five years Maastricht was occupied by the French, and in this time Vauban further strengthened the fortifications.
Between 1773-1777 Colonel-Ingenieur Carel Diederick Du Moulin made the plans for the Hoge Fronten, a 15 hectare defence area. There are dry moats and bastions with bomshelters and explosive storage rooms. It was called the Linie van Du Moulin, today we call what rests de Hoge Fronten. The walls of the bastions shelter rare plant and animal life and are labelled protected naturemonument since 1992. This area is the only place in the Netherlands where you can find the wall-lizard. This is due to the warm microclimate the fortications have. We have also seen foxes here, but the flowers are also great.
The area is managed by the foundation CNME Maastricht & Mergelland.
And is owned by the municipality of Maastricht.
You can walk on top of the fortifications but also on a lower level between the walls. This lower level is partly closed to protect the lizards from roughly may to november.
It is an oases of quietness in the busy city Maastricht and certainly worth to go there for a 30 minutes to an hour walk.
This is one of Maastricht's original city gates, built in 1229, and is the oldest surving city gate in the Netherlands. Strangely enough the reason why it has stood for so long is that by the 14th century its use as a gate became redundant as the city expanded and a second set of walls were built. The Helpoort was then used for storage and as such was never in the frontline during the various battles and city seiges over the centuries.
The gate has recently been fully restored and its towers now host a museum exhibition about the city's fortifications.
Protecting the city from attacks across the Maas River the town was also fortified along the river edge. Cannons protected the town and attackers were taken out before they could do any harm after crossing the river. Today many buildings use the town wall as outer wall, even though those buildings were only built in recent years.
Right next to the Helpoort is the Jeker Tower that stood part of the fortifications of the old town Maastricht. From here attackers were seen and the town informed. Amazing to see that this tower dates back almost 800 years!
The Helpoort forms parts of the earliest city walls and were built with the authorization of Henry I, duke of Brabant in 1229. It is the only city gate that is still left standing and also the oldest of its kind in the Netherlands. The gate was used to defend the city for more then two centuries. Later the Nieuwstad was also walled serving as a second wall of protection.
Reconstructed tower called "Pater Vinktoren"
The Pater Vinktoren tower, where the heads of five inhabitants of Maastricht who had helped the hated Spanish were displayed, has been reconstructed, and a small section of defences around the tower remain
Also at the eastbank of the river Maas is the Waterpoort, dating back to the 13th century. In 1714 the Waterpoort was enlarged to make it easier to load and unload the ships.
It is supposed that the first wooden medieval bridge crossing the river Maas was at this point before it moved more to the north at the point of the St Servaas bridge.
Also at the eastbank of the Maas are remnants of fortifications from the 14th century. Just south of the new built Hoge Brug stands the Maaspunttoren as a landmark just at the riverside. Once the Maasspunttoren was the southern tower at the corner of the first medieval walls.
Around the Maaspunttoren are newly built walls in red brick in the form of former fortfications as part of the renewal of the public space in this area. It is a lovely place to sit down for a while and have a look at the river and the green area of the park at the westbank.
The Onze Lieve Vrouwe Wal along the river Maas is part of the first fortifications of Maastricht. This city wall was built in 1229 at the same time as the Helpoort at its southern end.
Walking from the Sint Servaas bridge along the riverbank to the Helpoort or the park you have a good view at this citywall. In front of the wall is a row of old canons.
The Helpoort or Hell´s gate is the oldest surviving towngate in the Netherlands. The Helpoort was part of the oldest fortifications of Maastricht, built in 1229.
In the 15th century a newer fortification was built more south of the towngate. At that time the towngate lost his former function.
You can visit the Helpoort to climb the tower and have a look at a small historical exhibition.
The visiting hours are daily from 13:30 to 16:30 for a free gift.
Helpoort - old fortification gate in Maastricht.
The Helpoort forms parts of the earliest city walls and were built on the authorization of Henry I, duke of Brabant in April 1229. It is the only city gate which is left standing in Maastricht and is also the oldest of its kind in the Netherlands.
What about meeting the ghost of D'Artagnan in Maastricht? D'Artagnan, one of the legendary musketeers, was mortally wounded on the 25th of June 1673 outside the city walls and the locals believe that his ghost wanders in the casemates. Between 1575 and 1825, mining activities created a labyrinth of galleries at Maastricht's western side. The galleries extended for 10 kilometres and were used, among other things, for military purposes. To visit Kazematten you must join a guided tour. The tour lasts about 1 hour and is led by an official VVV Tourist Office guide. Information and reservations in VVV Maastricht, tel. 0031-43-32178 78, email email@example.com
Hell's Gate (helpoort), is part of the oldest city walls in Maastricht. It was built in 1229 and it is the oldest city gate of the Netherlands. The gate was used as a prison, so that explains the term Hell's Gate.
You can visit Hell's Gate for free every day from 13:30 to 16:30.

Not since F. Scott Fitzgerald, John O'Hara and more recently Michael Tolkin and Bruce Wagner have knowledgeable writers tackled showbiz in short fiction or succeeded in getting paid for it. Now add my name to the list about to try that – and I invite Hollywood movie and TV writers, executives, journalists, critics and authors to join me.
I'm starting an innovative website called HollywoodDementia.com. (The teaser is there.) What is it? Here's my definition: Hollywood Dementia: noun. Deterioration of intellectual faculties, such as memory, concentration, and judgment, sometimes accompanied by emotional disturbance and personality changes, resulting from an organic disease or a disorder of the brain acquired while working in the entertainment industry that causes someone to be unable to think clearly or to understand what is real and what is not real.
My website will present short stories, novellas and novel excerpts written by Hollywood insiders like myself. After 30 years as a journalist, I'm now going to expose the hard truths and gritty reality of showbiz through creative writing. In fiction, I can be more honest than just sticking to facts. The stories which I and others write won't depict any actual Hollywood person or event. But they will marry artifice with verisimilitude into original content creation.
I don't care if the site gets little traffic or The Powers That Be ever advertise. UPDATE: I'm setting up a TinyPass paywall to charge readers $1 to $3 for each post and paying writers from the proceeds once a month. END OF UPDATE I want to create a fiction forum not just for my own work but for all the creative writing talent which Hollywood attracts but rarely nurtures. I will run the website as well as write for it and market each fictional story to my 265,000+ Twitter followers.
I plan on starting HollywoodDementia.com by the end of June. If you would like to write fictional short stories about showbiz of 2,500 to 8,000 words each for my website, please send me an email as soon as possible with your credits and job history. I will accept submissions by invitation only because I first need to ensure you know enough about Hollywood to write intelligently about it. I'm also seeking great illustrators who can bring the Hollywood stories and their people and situations to life in color.
I've said it before and I'll say it again: Come for the cynicism. Stay for the subversion. My new website is not for the easily offended or ridiculously naïve. Oh, and there will be unsanitized comments on it. I'll tell you more about HollywoodDementia.com in coming weeks. (Nikki Finke photo by LA's Jen Rosenstein copyrighted 2015.)

The 2nd Annual Sayler Park Sustains community festival takes places this Saturday from 10am to 10pm. It's a day-long celebration of community, stewardship, and sustainability with music, demonstrations, vendors, raffles, local food and brews, and kid-friendly fun in Sayler Park.

The third week in March is designated as National Poison Prevention Week to highlight the dangers of poisonings and how to prevent them. Every day, people can (and do) prevent poisonings. More than 2 million poisonings are reported each year to the 57 poison control centers across the country. More than 90% of those reported occur in the home. The majority of non-fatal poisonings occur in children younger than six years old. In addition, poisonings are one of the leading causes of death among adults.

I don't know why this is, but I think I am one of the only people who cannot grow zucchini! It is embarrassing. My yellow striped squash plant is nearly 4 times the size of my poor little zucchini plant. Alas, I am sure I will be able to get a hold of some. Maybe when mine finally grow, everyone else's will be gone. A girl can dream can't she?

kameron frost fucks bryan elliot
This scene features one of our favorite models Kameron Frost with Bryan Elliot and from the looks of it, Kameron is now Bryan's favorite too!Outdoors on the balcony overlooking the pool and the activities, Kameron sits back in a chair and slips his cock out of the leg of his shorts so Bryan can suck his beautiful fat cock. We can hear all of the commotion coming from the pool area and the cameraman pans the pool area and complex. Zooming back in on the boys, Kameron looks at the camera and gives us a smile and a wink. We get the idea that Kameron is truly enjoying the attention Bryan is giving his cock.

Trademark Skydiver & Young Roddy - Pilots
Artist: Trademark Skydiver & Young Roddy
Producer: Cookin Soul
Album: Jet Life to the Next Life
Avg Rating: 2.5 ( 8 votes )
As I've remarked many times before, today's hip-hop game has become a veritable air show, with countless emcees taking the connection between flight and the effects of killer weed as an excuse to, well, get high while they get high (I don't need to tell y'all that actually flying a plane under the influence is a bad idea, do I?). The latest act to take a few hits of quality kush and let their rhymes take wing, Fly Society-affiliated Booth newcomers Trademark Skydiver & Young Roddy indulge in a little blunted jet-setting on newly-reworked cut Pilots. While you'd think that smoke in the cockpit would impair visibility, the New Orleans emcee and his Kenner-repping copilot handle themselves like pros, lacing Cookin Soul's appropriately hazy string/brass samples with deadpan rhymes on the topics of women, currency and – of course – the herb. Whether or not you partake, this tag-team's aerial gymnastics make for an eminently enjoyable ride. Like what you're hearing? Trademark & Roddy's Jet Life to the Next Life mixtape, sponsored by our friends at 2DopeBoyz.com, has yet to receive a drop date, but you'll be the first to know when a flight schedule's been established.

MORE WINTER CAMPING seems to be in store for Twin Cities-based enviros determined to preserve the Little Alfie tract of ancient red and white pines. The trees first made news nine months ago, when reports surfaced that the U.S. Forest Service was letting the tract be logged without the required environmental analysis and against the advice of its own biologists ("The Lore of the Pines," 1/29). Protesters blockaded the logging trucks; meanwhile Minneapolis-based Earth Protector sued and got the Forest Service to promise a full-fledged study. Based on that, the Forest Service Tuesday announced Little Alfie will be reopened for harvest this winter. The service intends to allow cutting of about as many trees as originally planned; however, none would be white pines, one of Minnesota's more beloved and headline-making species. Opponents of the logging say they plan to appeal the decision and renew their blockade.

Truck Accident Lawyers - Injury Caused by Driver Intoxication - Houston Injury & Death Lawyers
Truck Accidents Caused by Driver Intoxication
Just as with other vehicles, intoxicated drivers of large trucks are horribly dangerous and can cause terrible injuries in a crash. Truck drivers should be held to an even higher standard than auto drivers because of the dangerous consequences. An intoxicated big rig driver is playing Russian roulette with the rest of the folks on the road. Whether the result of the consumption of alcohol, marijuana, prescription drugs or other intoxicating substances, the consequences are often the same. Just because somebody is trained to drive a big rig does not mean that they have not violated the law by doing so while intoxicated.
An intoxicated driver not only breaks the law but also subjects themselves (and possibly their employer) to the imposition of punitive damages being awarded to their victims in the event of a crash.
If you or a loved one has been injured due to an intoxicated driver, you need the assistance of a board certified personal injury specialist. Michael P. Fleming, the former elected Harris County Attorney is board certified as a specialist in Personal Injury Trial Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization.
In addition to being board certified as a specialist in Personal Injury Trial Law and well-known as the former Harris County Attorney, Michael P. Fleming has been recognized as a Texas Super Lawyer for many years. His Houston law firm is AV rated by Martindale - Hubbell (the highest rating) and has been featured in H-Texas Magazine's Top Attorneys in Houston issue which features the best Houston lawyers and law firms. He is also one of the small percentage of attorneys in the entire country to have had the privilege of arguing and winning a case before the Supreme Court of the United States.
If you have a serious personal injury, wrongful death or litigation matter in Houston, Austin or anywhere else in Texas, contact an attorney with the qualifications, experience and reputation you can trust. Michael P. Fleming is a personal injury lawyer with the qualifications and experience you deserve.
If you or a loved one has been injured by an intoxicated truck driver, contact one of our Houston Truck Accident Lawyers now.
