Vegan Bigos (Polish Sauerkraut Stew) + Great Vegan Protein Book GIVEAWAY
Lest you think I have bounced back from my surgery in record and couldn't wait to go back into the kitchen, I am working on some sharing some special meals prior to our trip. Truthfully, my appetite has taken a while to bounce back and we suspect my standard vegan diet contained too much fibre for my (at-the-moment) delicate gut.
As we move towards spring produce, this quick and easy stir fry with mushrooms, cabbage, sauerkraut and soy curls is delightful with a hit of fresh dill. The recipe is from The Great Vegan Protein Book and was originally called "Cabbage-n-Kraut with Seitan" but I alternated the main protein source, swapping seitan for soy curls. After a taste test form Rob, he told me I had just made a vegan version of the national Polish dish, Bigos, traditionally known as a Hunter's Stew with different kinds of meat simmered with cabbage, sauerkraut and mushrooms with a touch of tomato. Score!
For those concerned with protein sources as a vegan, The Great Vegan Protein Book helps by tackling that question directly. Main vegan protein sources, legumes/beans, whole grains, nuts/seeds, tofu/tempeh and seitan are highlighted in the recipes. Ingredients less often thought as protein-dense, such as nutritional yeast and including vegetables such as mushrooms, broccoli and Brussels sprouts, are also highlighted making recipes that are quite diverse. There are also snacks and desserts, including a No-Bake Choco Cashew Cheesecake with 9 g protein per serving.
All recipes include the protein content of each dish, although no other nutritional information like total calories which is a shame. Certainly the dishes featuring tofu, tempeh and seitan contain the most protein. Examples include Tempeh Banh Mi (41 g protein/serving), Higher Protein Sausage (86 g protein/sausage), Sesame Seitan Super Salad (55 g protein/serving), Pecan-Crusted Seitan Cutlets with Brussels Sprouts (51 g protein/serving), Braciola (68 g protein/serving) and Homestyle Potpie (47 g protein/serving). There is also a Beans and Greens Bowl with 23 g protein/serving and the BBQ Lentils with 12 g protein/serving.
Personally, I like to plan my meals around some sort of vegan protein. Once you figure that out, the rest of a balanced meal naturally takes place. Beans will contain protein and carbohydrates, tofu and nuts contains protein and fat, etc. Rounded out with some vegetables, this is how I try to craft my eats. This book is welcome to my cookbook collection with its varied and balanced meals.
Thankfully, the publisher allowed me to giveaway the cookbook to a reader living in the United States or Canada. To be entered in the random draw for the book, please leave a comment below telling me about your favourite vegan protein and how you like to cook it. The winner will be selected at random on May 1, 2015. Good luck!

Simple Carrot Ginger Soup
Long time no chat. A quick turn of events had me in the operating room over a week ago and recently returned home. I was incredibly grateful to be back in Canada when this happened and could only imagine what would have happened in Guatemala with my nearly non-existent Spanish.
In any case, after a surgery, it is normal to progress your diet from clear/full fluids before resuming your regular diet. My mom threw together this soup, not once, but twice, for me to nosh on while in the hospital and once I returned home.
Super creamy from the blended carrots, the ginger is a natural pairing (and possibly helps reduce nausea and vomiting). The addition of the lemon rind (without juice) kept this light and not too acidic (which has been a problem for my belly since surgery). But perhaps most of all, I hope you can see how brightly coloured this soup is. More yellow than orange, it was positively vibrant. It reminded me of Nigella's happiness soup but this one tasted better. And had no turmeric. I wonder if the nutritional yeast helped to make it more yellow.
As well, thank you for all the positive feedback on the wedding photos. Our photographer had another teaser this week. I cannot wait to see the find photo album.

Southwestern Avocado Scramble Salad + wedding photos
Long time no write!
My longest blog hiatus is definitely worthy of a wedding and honeymoon. I know a few were interested in photos and here are a few teasers from our fabulous photographer, Gabe McClintock.
In case the embedded photos don't work, the original posts are here and here.
After a partial whirlwind through Honduras and Guatemala following our wedding, we returned to Toronto earlier this week. I was hoping to bring a bit of spring and summer back with me, but Toronto is still fairly cold with (freezing) rain this week. Channeling my continuance of all things avocado (albeit of the Mexican variety), I could not resist them at the grocer. I still managed to stock up with lots of vegetables and then threw together this quick and easy salad.
Consider it a chunky avocado dressing, or an avocado scramble salad, the flavours are bright and flexible. The different veggies conferred different textures while enveloped by the creamy lime avocado mash with a hint of cheeziness from the nooch. The black beans help to make this a filling complete meal salad. It was excellent and I recommend eating it at once as the leftovers were not as vibrant. Alternatively, sprinkle with a touch more lime juice when reserving. While not necessary, I added the salad on top of leafy greens. I have a bad habit of being leafy greens and then not eating them. Here's to eating more greens. And warmer weather.

Orange Red Lentil Soup with Coriander and Star Anise
One can never have too many soup recipes, especially during the heart of this very cold winter.
However, this isn't your standard red lentil soup. Have I ever shared a standard recipe? Probably not.
The red lentils are infused with coriander and star anise, spiked with orange juice and a touch of fresh ginger gives you a bit of a bite. This split pea soup has also has ginger and coriander, but the orange and star anise were a refreshing twist. Flavours that seemed a tad unusual but worked very well.
Not as unusual as some of your chocolate suggestions, though. I am totally intrigued by Gabby's homemade chocolate shampoo! I love reading them, so please keep them coming!

Roasty Smoky Brussels Sprouts with Chickpeas
With all this talk of cold going around here, you might be reasoning it is because I forgot what winter was like while I was in Texas. I assure you, this is not the case. But it does kind of make me resent it slightly and appreciate the cold spells.
Truth be told, we have been having difficulties with our furnace. During the coldest days, it also goes on strike. I spoke about it briefly here and thought a new thermostat was going to keep us warm over the winter. Imagine my dismay as I come home after work to a frigid home… and I could not get the furnace to work. Our landlord told us to sit tight, he would get us a space heater and the repair man would arrive the next morning.
Um, yeah. Not a happy camper. I went upstairs and decided to warm up the bed. It would be a cold night.
Turns out when Rob came home, he had a bit more patience in the freezing basement and reset the furnace. We were saved!
Obviously I didn't make this with our frigid kitchen but it would have quickly warmed it up. (I opted for a quickie rewarming of leftover broccoli dal instead). It is a rather simple combination of spices and nooch for roasted chickpeas and brussels sprouts. Easy peasy and quite delicious. Definitely give it a try and let me know what you think.

Simple Lentil Chilaquiles
When I said our meals have become more simple, this is probably not what you had in mind. I had not planned on sharing this either, but the meal was delicious and I scooped together the little bits left unclaimed and snapped photos to share. I loved the meal, I loved these photos, and had to share.
In an honesty, Rob is a great cook. I merely helped to assemble the ingredients. Rob was making an off-the-cuff version of our tofu migas but as we ate it, we thought it reminded us of the chilaquiles we would devour from Radical Eats in Houston. Minus the deep-fried tortillas. Eerily enough, Erica shared her baked version of chilaquiles (recipe here with black beans and kale), which I read afterwards. Great minds think alike! We opted not to make it sopping in a tomato-broth, as we used sun-dried tomatoes to help keep the chips crispy.
In any case, while these were simple to make, it brought together a few components we already had. Namely, we made JL's Lentil TVP Taco Filling earlier in the week (I changed the spices slightly) as our ground meat substitute. My cousin also gifted us some homemade tomatillo salsa. It was quite spicy but worked well when mixed directly with the other ingredients.
In short, we started by using almost stale corn tortilla chips by baking them in the oven. Rob sauteed some sweet onions (reserving some for the topping) and sprinkled them with garlic granules (too lazy to pull the real garlic from the fridge). Next, he added the Lentil-TVP taco filling, heating it up. Because we were out of plain tofu, he added 4 eggs along with some soy milk and the tomatillo salsa, scrambling all the ingredients together. Once fully cooked, he stirred in the baked tortilla chips, heating all the way through. A sprinkle of fresh lime juice and a side of tomato salsa solidified this as a perfect New Year's Day brunch.
I am not sure if quasi-recipes like this help you. What do you think?

Mung Bean Tostadas & Lusty Vegan Cookbook Giveaway
I told you it was a good time for vegan cookbooks. Here is the latest cute offering, The Lusty Vegan. It is a cookbook focusing on relationships. Being vegan in a relationship can be a little tricky at times and there are approachable tips and delicious recipes to satisfy the most un-vegan. Trust me, there is almost nothing as sexy than a man that can cook and these recipes span the gamut of simple to complex, such that you might actually want to work together in the kitchen.
Heart of Palm Lobster Rolls, anyone? Tempeh Fries with Dill Avocado Dip? Miso-Vermouth Braised Drunken Bok Choy? Habanero Jackfruit Fajitas? Cherry Cobbler with Cocoa Nibs? These recipes are unique but I will admit, mostly on the elaborate side. They are matched by the stage of the relationship – trying to impress your partner, trying to impress the parents, classic vegan dishes and even desserts if you ever break up.
They make me want to try new dishes but let's be honest, right now I try to keep things stress-free in the kitchen and I think that helps both Rob and I. Of course, it is natural to want to impress your partner, but it isn't sustainable. Does that mean we've become a boring couple? I certainly hope not. Life just doesn't always revolve around food. :)
So now, a little about these tostadas. Instead of pinto beans, mung beans substitute in the refried beans. I was curious to try them in something new, although they were a bit mealy for my liking. Although after I covered it with toppings, I barely noticed. I added cooked quinoa, cabbage and carrots, as an ode to my Lime-Spiked Black Bean and Quinoa Kale Wrap. Feel free to add whatever you have lurking in your fridge.

Balsamic-Maple Brussels Sprouts & Sweet Potato & Giveaway for But I Could Never Go Vegan!
Rob is away this week for work. He likes to update me on his day-to-day life…. like what they serve for breakfast at work, especially when it is unusual like Brussels sprouts. I would be excited about that, too! I have had Brussels for breakfast once, when we used them in this curried dill tofu scramble. Turns out I had just made Brussels sprouts as a vegetable side and it was so good, I could possibly consider eating it for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
I mean it includes all good things: roasted Brussels sprouts, roasted sweet potato, both in a sticky tangy-sweet glaze courtesy of balsamic vinegar and maple syrup. I like how the nutritional yeast adds a tackiness to the marinade and thickens it up, helping it to coat all the vegetables. I opted to skip the dried cranberries and I excluded them purely on principle. I had a sneaking suspicion that fresh/frozen cranberries would be surreal in here. I included them in this Balsamic Curry Roasted Vegetable dish and their tart juiciness would have complemented the dish well.
The recipe is courtesy of Kristy's new cookbook, But I Could Never Go Vegan!. I have been a long-time reader of her blog, where Kristy creates the creative recipes and her husband, Chris Turner, takes the most gorgeous photos. (You totally know he gets the credit for the top photo).
Kristy's book is a cute foray into vegan cuisine. She aims to convince you that will not be lacking anything while munching vegan-style. Each chapter was created with recipes targetted to bust vegan myths: All Those Special Ingredients are Way More Expensive; I Could Never Give Up Cheese!; Where Would I Get My Protein?; Tofu Doesn't Taste Like Anything; Vegan Cooking is Too Hard; Where's the Beef?; Just Thinking about Salad Makes Me Yawn; What About Brunch?; Fake "Foods" Freak Me Out; It's All Rabbit Food; Not Soup Again!; I'd Miss Pizza; Can't I Be Pescatarian Instead?; My Friends Won't Want to Come Over for Dinner; No Way. I'm Italian (or Southern/German/Mexican/French); But I Hate (Insert Vegetable Here); I Don't Want to be Left Out at Potlucks and Family Get-Togethers; You Can't Bake Without Butter Or Eggs; Wait, Is Chocolate Vegan?; But I Scream for Ice Cream.
Yeah, she definitely covers her bases! Her recipes span the simple and easy (see below) but also mostly on the elaborate side: Potato Sauerkraut Soup with Sausage Crumbles, Buffalo Cauliflower Calzones with Cashew Blue Cheese, Pretzel Dumplings with Mushroom-Sauerkraut Gravy; Salisbury Seitan Phyllo Pouches with Rosemary Mashed Potatoes. I may be wrong but I only recognize a few recipes from her blog: Spinach Artichoke Soup, Chickpea Sloppy Joes and Jackfruit Tuna Salad Sandwich. There may be others, but those were the ones I recognized and previously bookmarked. These sprouts and sweets are similar (and likely improved) from her Cheesy Maple Roasted Brussels Sprouts and Broccoli dish. I am certainly looking forward to cooking through these recipes. One can not help but to be inspired by the photography and recipes.

Pasta Arrabiata with Chickpeas and Zucchini Noodles
Feel like you missed autumn? Summer went straight into winter? Time flies, and sometimes I feel like I missed the peak season for certain fruits and vegetables. I keep missing peach season although we had a few this year. I also missed prime tomato time, perhaps because I was distracted by summer exams. In any case, have no fear. Canned tomatoes are possibly the best way to make sure you have flavourful tomatoes.
Oddly enough, I first encountered Arrabiata sauce while travelling in South Africa. It was a premade sauce that I added to a can of lentils with delicious results. A bit spicy, a lot tomatoey, it worked well with the hearty lentils. However, by the time I returned to Canada, I figured a pasta sauce deserved some pasta.
I made a huge batch of Ricki's Arrabiata sauce and used it in two non-traditional ways: paired with soba noodles and also paired with zucchini noodles with chickpeas and nutritional yeast. I liked both versions although the zucchini noodles remind me more of the summer than soba noodles.
Next time, I think I will puree the sauce and add a bunch of lentils. Topped with nutritional yeast, it was a great meal, too.

Sweet Potato Vegan Shepherd's Pie with Coconut Whipped Sweet Potatoes
Even for me, this recipe seems a bit long and bothersome. However, I implore to try it out.
Let's break this recipe down so it is not too daunting. Thankfully, even the sweet potato coconut mash topping could stand-alone on a Thanksgiving spread.
First, start with roasting your sweet potatoes. I honestly would have double next time. I would not judge you if the potatoes never made it to the shepherd's pie.
I started with my favourite recipe for Roasted Sweet Potatoes (Low and Slow) which coaxes and highlights their natural sweetness. I made them the night before so this recipe would work fabulously with leftover roasted sweet potatoes, too. Despite roasting 3 big potatoes, I wanted more volume. I ran out of drinkable non-dairy milks so I grabbed a can of lite coconut milk. Just a touch whipped into the spuds created a silky sweet puree. Inspired by Candle Cafe's Paradise Casserole's mash, I added some miso as well. You could stop right here with a delicious side.
Let's pretend you still want to make the whole shepherd's pie, though. I used a mix of beans, which along with carrot, mushrooms and sun-dried tomatoes had a nice texture. Balsamic vinegar and nutritional yeast added a nice depth and if you have red wine, that would work well here, too. I used a pressure cooker for my lentils, overcooking them slightly, but this was a great way to use them. I also slightly overcooked my butter beans (pressure cooker equilibration issues) but the butter beans were a fantastic counterfoil to the smaller bits. They don't call them butter beans for nothing. Rancho Gordo's Florida butter beans were silky smooth, almost like butter! :P
I tried to have a good sweet potato-mash to filling ratio, with a decent height with the mash. I chose a smaller but high casserole dish, as opposed to a 9×13″ pan. I think it worked out really well. The sweet potato mash makes this a less traditional shepherd's pie but since it is vegan, can I really claim any authenticity?

Indian-Inspired Roasted Cauliflower & Quinoa Salad
As I write this, it is snowing outside.
Not that it will last and stay on the ground, but it definitely marks the beginning of fall. The leaves and temperatures have both fallen.
I walked to the Saturday farmer's market this morning and they had finally moved it indoors. With everyone crammed into a smaller place, it was cramped and crowded but I still walked away with my stash of apples. Earlier, Rob and I tried to go apple picking where we had gone a few years ago. Turns out that the farm was subsequently sold and the DIY apple picking was no more. Since the farmer's market is so close to our home, we didn't pursue it further this year.
While we typically eat the apples as snacks and in our morning oats, this time, I added it to a savoury autumn salad. Roasted cauliflower is combined with quinoa with Indian-inspired flavours such as roasted coconut with a touch of sweetness from the apple and raisins. I then drizzled my favourite curried maple tahini dressing, which I usually reserved for my chickpea and carrot salad with excellent results. I needed to double the dressing since this salad was so voluminous.
Did you see snow, too?

Peacefood Cafe's Chickpea Fries & HappyCow Cookbook Giveaway
I may not have promoted it here but I am a complete fan of Happy Cow. When travelling, I consult the reviews (and then leave my own) to find the best vegan eats around the world. Not only across Canada and the US, I chronicled my eats while travelling in Germany, Iceland, Mexico, Colombia and South Africa. Rightfully so, there are zero entries for Madagascar.
In any case, I was thrilled when I heard that Eric Brent and Glen Merzer were creating a cookbook featuring recipes from top-rated vegan restaurants, The Happy Cow Cookbook.
The neat part of this compilation was each restaurant's profile, highlighting their popular and favourite dishes, important lessons as a restaurant owner/chef, and the future of plant-based food movement. Each restaurant shares one, two or more recipes, along with some photographs. As expected with a compilation, the recipes vary with respect to level of difficulty, recipe instructions and photographs. On the whole, the recipes seem solid. Millenium's Pistachio-Crusted Eggplant Napoleon is way too complex for me to recreate, but makes me want to visit this San Francisco eatery. There is also a recipe for Coconut Tofu and Blackened Tempeh with Grapefruit Yuzu (courtesy of Green in Tempe, AZ) that definitely beyond my reach. However, Lettuce Love Cafe's Tempeh Reuben looks easy to recreate at home, as well as Netherlands' Veggies on Fire's Lemon Cheesecake with Raspberry Sauce.
The book is ordered alphabetically, based on the name of the restaurants, which makes it difficult to find recipes. However, the breadth of recipes seems vast with little repeats (although you will certainly find many recipes for vegan cheese!). Recipes vary from Kimchi Nori Maki Rolls and Peruvian Leftovers Pie to Avocado Apple Tartare with Walnut Bonbons to Chicken Fried Tempeh and Carrot Cake with a Vegan Cream Cheese frosting. Sadly, what I was most disappointed, was the abundant use of vegan substitutes (ie vegan cream cheese, sour cream and Vegenaise), although that probably helps prep time for restaurants.
While I have never been to Peacefood Cafe, I was itching to make their "Award-Winning Chickpea Fries" which is basically an Indian-spiced baked fry made with chickpea flour. They were quite easy to make although I regret adding the bay leaf to the spice mixture. It became a predominant flavour and bothersome since I didn't grind it to a fine powder. I didn't make the Caesar Dipping Sauce as the recipe perplexed me. I was not sure why there was fermented bean curd in the sauce without directions to pulverize it with a blender. In any case, the recipe below is as seen in the book. Enjoy.
Thankfully, the publisher allowed me to share the recipe AND giveaway the cookbook to a reader living in the United States or Canada. To be entered in the random draw for the cookbook, please leave a comment below telling me what your favourite vegan-friendly restaurant is (and where). Bonus entry if you share your link to your review on HappyCow. The winner will be selected at random on November 7, 2014. Good luck!

Lemon-Miso Macro Bowl with Miso-Braised Swiss Chard and Lemon Chickpea Dressing
Sorry for the blurry photo. Temperatures are dropping and the days are getting longer. We seemed to have misplaced my tripod in our whirlwind of a maze home still being unpacked so I am working with what I can.
This was a delicious bowl of goodness. Brown rice at its base, with a side of lemony chickpea spread and a hefty helping of lemon-miso braised Swiss chard.
The dressing is more puckering than my typical hummus and uses lots of lemon juice instead of balsamic vinegar (which I used in my previous hummus dressing). I was almost worried it was too lemon-heavy but it was nicely balanced when added to the brown rice.
I was channeling my mustard-hummus rice bowl with roasted cauliflower and truthfully, I was not really thinking of macrobiotics originally. However with the touch of nori in the Swiss chard, it reminded me more of my previous macro bowl with the miso-tahini sauce.
I also ended up adding peanuts for a nice crunch, so feel free to add something similar.
The miso-braised greens was adapted from Plant-Powered for Life, quite an gem of a cookbook. The original recipe was Miso-Braised Collard Greens with Cashews, and you can tell I adapted it by swapping chard for collards and peanuts for the cashews. The cookbook is filled with healthy plant-based recipes, each attached to a healthy eating tip. This recipe was found under tip 7: Aim for at least six servings of veggies every day. The tips range from Make variety your motto to Remember fresh isn't always best and Pay attention to heritage foods. With such variety of the tips, the resulting haphazardness of the order of the recipes is the unfortunate result and make this an unwieldly cookbook unless you sport an electronic copy. Otherwise, you have a good novella to skim through, picking up small tips to help eat a bit better.

Creamy High Protein Mushroom Stroganoff
Do you remember the soba noodle debacle? The time I bought oodles of soba noodles and then proceeded to leave them in the pantry and slowly, slowly eat through them. Yeah, I still have soba noodles and still eating through them. A true hoarder.
However, when the cooking rut continues, I get less picky in the kitchen. I have little energy to refuse the noodles. Plus, they are quick and easy to make. I added the cold leftover sauce to warm noodles and it melted right in. A little green garnish might be nice, too. Consider adding fresh chives, as recommended in the original recipe. Because you know, I would never suggest eating parsley. Yucko.

Quinoa Protein Bowl & Healthy Lunch Box Ideas
Lately my meals have been a lot of random foods. I am holding out. I knew I had some staples waiting to be unpacked but quickly replenished my perishable staples (tahini, peanut butter, maple syrup, etc). As such, the last few weeks have had me cooking without spices, relying on strong-flavoured ingredients and let's be honest, I bought some pre-made soups and added some beans to make it a complete meal.
I promise to share some of my fun meals once my home is back to normal. Until then, I will continue to unearth some oldies-but-goodies from my backlog. I chose to share this one because it is actually pretty similar to what I am eating these days: cooked quinoa, random vegetables, beans, topped with a creamy sauce.
Please head over to Sunny's site for the recipe for the Quinoa Protein Bowl (35g protein/serving) which I am sharing for her (gluten-free and dairy-free) Healthy Lunchbox Ideas 2014.

THERE'S MORE THAN HER HEART AT STAKE. . . .As the only human to survive vampire infection, Milagro de Los Santos has become quite a celebrity among the blood-drinking elite. Too bad the perks of her condition—increased strength, super-fast healing—don't pay her condo fees. There are other complications too. She's feeling guilty about her fling with enigmatic Vampire Council member Ian Ducharme, and pining for her ex-fiancé, Dr. Oswald Grant . . . the fabulous man whose kiss changed her life. It's when Milagro—irked by Ian's attentions to his neighbor—travels to London and enjoys a sexy flirtation of her own, that the blood really hits the fan. Suddenly, those around her are dying gruesome deaths and Milagro's being interrogated. Who would kill to set her up as a murder suspect? Milagro just wants to turn back the clock and have another chance to make things right, but no sooner has she escaped to Oswald's ranch than an accident obliterates her memory. Will the murderer come after her now? And will amnesia spark a romantic do-over with Oswald—or will she make all the same mistakes before she ever gets to say "I do"?

While picking up a prize at the Billboard Music Awards over the weekend, Thicke thanked "my wife for her love and support and for putting up with me all these years" before seemingly dedicating his new track to Patton, whom he separated from in February after nine years of marriage.
"I never should have raised my voice or made you feel so small," he sang. "I should have kissed you longer, I should have held you stronger. I'll wait for forever for you to love me again."

Police Section :: Page 9
Pettiford new police chief
When village resident Tony Pettiford takes over as Yellow Springs police chief on Nov. 19, he will bring a deep knowledge of the community he has called home for 51 years, which he says will serve him well in his effort to keep Yellow Springs safe.
Village names new police chief
The Village chose local resident Anthony Pettiford to be the new Yellow Springs police chief.
Villagers query chiefs-to-be
If he is appointed police chief, candidate Tony Pettiford said he will work alongside his officers and be actively involved in the day-to-day policing of the community. If he is named police chief, candidate Art Scott said he will make sure officers and staff receive the training they need to be a top-notch police department.
Village police to bulk up slim staff
The Yellow Springs Police Department typically fields a team of eight full-time and a half dozen part-time officers. Currently, there are six full-time officers and less than three active part-time officers, many of whom are being stretched to their limit and are often asked to cover shifts alone.
Police chief search narrows
In its search for a permanent chief of police, the Village of Yellow Springs has narrowed its options to three candidates, including current Interim Chief Arthur Scott, Central State University Police Chief Anthony Pettiford, and John Milstead, security manager for Dayton Metro Libraries. The Village is currently scheduling visits to the village for each of the candidates and will host a public forum with each of the candidates on Wednesday, Sept. 26, from 6:30 to 9 p.m. at the Bryan Center.
Village narrows search for police chief
The Village is getting closer to choosing its new police chief.
Officer chooses retirement
Yellow Springs Police Sergeant Tom Jones retired from the force last week, several days before an internal hearing focused on his conduct was scheduled to take place.
Task force targets drugs
Last year two drug-related arrests in a single incident were made in Yellow Springs by the ACE Task Force, the Greene County agency that fights drug-related crimes at a multijurisdictional level.
Open house slated
The Yellow Springs police department will hold an open house tonight, Wednesday, May 16, 6-8 p.m.
Temporary chief doesn't take to retirement
Yellow Springs Interim Police Chief Arthur Scott tried retirement, but it didn't take. So instead he decided to go to Afghanistan. When he returned to the United States, he was ready to dive into the work world again.

utf8 encoding bug?by zemplen (Novice)
|on Feb 25, 2003 at 14:47 UTC ( #238442=perlquestion: print w/ replies, xml )
|Need Help??
zemplen has asked for the
wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
I am working with documents that use iso8859-1-2-5 encoding and some nonstandard encoding and fonts that need to be mapped to utf8. To clean things up I simply want to do substitutions within the input strings. As you can see in the test case below this does not work 100% of the time.

Blake Shelton 'Can't Touch This' Remix [VIDEO]
During the finale of the Voice leading up to the Craig Wayne Boyd winning the show, we got a big kick out of this video piece producers put together for Blake Shelton, and no, we can't touch this.
During the finale of the Voice leading up to the Craig Wayne Boyd winning the show, we got a big kick out of this video piece producers put together for Blake Shelton, and no, we can't touch this.
During the Monday night (Dec. 9) Top 5 performances on 'The Voice,' Craig Wayne Boyd took on not one, but two country covers.
The inaugural American Country Countdown Awards are coming right up, and two lucky Taste of Country readers could win tickets to see the ceremony in person.
Country stars' online merch stores help make shopping easy this holiday season! Looking for a unique Martina McBride item for uncle Hal? This 2014 Holiday Gift Guide for Country Fans is your tool to finding that perfect present.
Team Blake Shelton's Craig Wayne Boyd was back at it again on Monday night (Nov. 24) on 'The Voice.' The country singer put his unique spin on Johnny Cash's 'I Walk the Line.'
He was one of just a few country stars in attendance at the 2014 American Music Awards Sunday night (Nov. 23), and Luke Bryan didn't walk away empty-handed. The star beat out two other huge country acts to win Favorite Male Artist: Country.
Blake Shelton may be happy with his win for Male Vocalist of the Year at the 2014 CMA Awards, but he's probably even more happy that he didn't make a bet with Luke Bryan about it beforehand. The country singer's made that mistake before -- and it cost him big.
Newsflash: Blake Shelton is darn sexy! Officially, too -- the country singer was named one of the sexiest men alive in 2014 by People magazine.
Americana artist Jason Isbell has released four studio albums, spent time in the Drive-By Truckers and peppered the country with sold-out tour stops over the last decade. The veteran may finally be getting his big break however, as 'The Voice' just emailed, hoping he'd audition.
Blake Shelton and Ashley Monroe are more than just friends in the 'Lonely Tonight' music video.
Luke Bryan leads the pack of nominees for the inaugural 2014 American Country Countdown Awards.
Miranda Lambert debuted her new single 'Smokin' and Drinkin'' during a striking collaboration with Little Big Town at the 2014 CMA Awards.

As if selfie sticks aren't obnoxious enough when they go waving through the air, threatening to smack unsuspecting bystanders in the face, visitors at Disneyland had their roller coaster fun interrupted when their fellow passenger whipped out one of the extension devices in the middle of the ride.

A Good Way To Ruin A Roller Coaster Ride For Everyone Else? Pull Out A Selfie Stick
Apple Bans Selfie Sticks Ahead Of Its Next Big Event
One might think that any product that's designed to enhance the utility of a smartphone, say perhaps an iPhone, would be totally cool with Apple. Not so, as instead it appears that selfie sticks are as annoying to the company as they are to anyone who dislikes getting whacked in the head by an eager, selfie-ing stranger in public. As such Apple has issued a ban on the poles ahead of its upcoming developers convention in June. [More]
iPhone Owner Watching Thief's Selfies Post To Her Facebook Account
Vanity, thy name is smartphone thief: We're no strangers to the tale of the narcissistic villain who's ultimately caught after uploading photos taken on the pilfered phones somewhere the owner can see them. That's the ending one iPhone owner is hoping for, as she's been watching the person who stole her device unwittingly send them straight to the owner's Facebook account. [More]
Some Museums Banning Selfie Sticks Because "Duck Face" Is Not Art
We know, we know: Your social media followers insist — nay! demand! — that you chronicle every single thing you do in your life. But displaying your best duck face in a selfie will be a bit trickier at some museums soon, as various cultural institutions nationwide are putting a ban on selfie sticks. [More]
Park Rangers: Taking A "Bear Selfie" Is Dangerous And You Should Stop It Right Now
No matter how many times you've watched The Jungle Book and thought about how great it would be to be friends with Baloo, it's a movie and forcing a bear to be your friend is not a good idea. Neither is chasing one down in the wild so you can score the perfect selfie. Because, yes, that is now a thing; a very, very dangerous phenomena that rangers have had to warn people to stop doing. [More]
Yes, There Is A Toaster That Will Toast Your Likeness Onto Bread
As if splashing your selfie over social media isn't enough, self-indulgence can now be obtained to an even higher degree by literally indulging in your own face, by way of toast. A novelty toaster company is selling custom toasters that sear your likeness onto bread, thereby providing an easy way to eat your own face, covered in butter. This is getting weird, sorry. [More]
Will No One Think Of The Online Daters? N.Y. Bill Would Ban Taking Selfies With Tigers
You can snuggle up to a bear and you can fist bump a monkey, but soon it might be illegal to take a selfie with a tiger in the state of New York. So all you cat-happy love seekers on Tinder and OKCupid are out of luck. Which yes, is apparently a popular photo to post on such services. [More]
Is Your Obsession With Selfies Leading To An Infestation Of Lice?
Selfies are all the rage. The word was added to the dictionary last year for crying out loud. Children, teens and even some misguided adults have jumped on the selfie bandwagon. But cozying up to your friends, or maybe even strangers, for a selfie could be bad for your health and your hair. [More]

A young Syrian girl holds her country's flag with widestretched arms and sings cheerfully into a camera. Behind her on the sandy Aleppo street, a demonstration takes place—freedom fighters, parents, Free Syrian Army generals and children exist as one here, marching to express a single plea: Get rid of Bashar al-Assad.
Then an explosion occurs. The camera drops. The demonstrators' voices turn into panicked screams; the girl's singing stops.
The 15-minute short, Not Anymore, filmed by activist Matthew VanDyke offers a heartbreaking glimpse into daily life in today's Syria—a country that prior to having a shattered infrastructure, outpouring of refugees, and massive casualties in the height of civil war was a close-knit Middle Eastern destination decorated with historic architecture. "It is beautiful," says Nour Kelze, a 24-year-old teacher-turned-freedom fighter and a producer of the film, "without that monster."
The film follows Nour, a fearless and passionate Syrian rebel, as she braces the front lines of a conflict that has taken her job, her friends, and her country's picturesque landscape. She's now a war photographer. "Everyone is going to know what's happening to us," she says, wearing a hard hat and sneakers in place of her former "fancy dresses and high heels."
Teenage is a different kind of documentary. It's not an "issue" picture, trying to explain, investigate, or solve some big controversy. There are no talking heads and no narration by the filmmakers. It isn't the story of a single person or event. So what exactly is it?
On its surface the film tells the story of the "teenager," examining the role young people have played in culture, politics, and historical affairs since the advent of the term. Based on the Jon Savage book of the same name, it begins at the turn of the 20th century with the first child labor laws in the US, which freed young people to discover themselves. And so, adolescence was born.
From that launching point, the documentary weaves the tales of four representative teenagers from the first half of the century: the hard-partying Brit who became a cautionary tale, a Hitler Youth member manipulated by a dictator, a rebellious German captivated by overseas music and culture, and a black Boy Scout trying to find his place. They were some of the first true teenagers, and their stories of facing teenage problems are depicted through archival footage and diary readings.
But, the most important facet to the documentary is the mood it creates. Its soundtrack, by Bradford Cox of the indie band Deerhunter, is ethereal and spacey. Informative subtitles don't pop-up onscreen to explain where a certain piece of footage is from or even who is speaking—the images simply come and go for viewers to make sense of themselves. It all serves to give the film an ambient, dreamlike quality.
One of the greatest strengths of the documentary format is its ability to personalize an issue, to tackle an abstract concept with characters and stories instead of figures and statistics. To many, the forced labor camps of North Korea are one of these issues—we know they exist, we know horrible things happen there, but we're so far removed from them that their everyday relevance is diminished.
Camp 14—Total Control Zone seeks to change that. It tells the hidden story of one of these prisons, where barbed-wire fences contain lives that know only hard labor, hunger, and complete domination. The political prisoners here receive no pardons, and their sentences never end. The only way out is death, which can come at any time of any day, sometimes simply via the whim of a guard with an itchy trigger finger.
The film centers around a young man named Shin Dong-hyuk. Born in the prison camp, he grew up knowing nothing of the outside world. The idea of "freedom" was inconceivable—his life was built around starvation and fear, orders and beatings. That is, until he escaped at the age of 23 to China and eventually Seoul, South Korea.
Shin's story unfolds slowly, as the initial mysteries of how he came to be born in the camp, what happened to his family, and his ultimate escape are revealed piece by piece. Flashbacks to his youth are portrayed through haunting animations—they're sparse, static, and colorless but for the splash of the blood-red flags fluttering on the execution grounds.
You could be forgiven for thinking the Macarena isn't exactly the cornerstone of cultural assimilation, but for teens at New York City's International High School at Lafayette, the dance is indicative of the essence of American culture.
In I Learn America, filmmakers Gitte Peng and Jean-Michel Dissard follow a group of adolescent immigrants through high school, as they grapple with everything from civics homework to soccer practice to self-discovery. But the film's main focus is how the students experience their introduction to a new society's norms. In interview after interview, they recount personal anecdotes and struggles to the point where the movie starts to resemble an episode of MTV's True Life.
Filmmaker Tom Berninger hasn't amounted to much in life, and he knows it. A pudgy, Chris Farley-esque, shaggy-haired misfit whose hobbies include listening to heavy metal and making mini slasher movies, Tom catches a break when his older brother, Matt, lead singer of indie band the National, invites him to come along on the group's world tour to "help out."
Tom, who up until that point has been living in the basement of his parents' Cincinnati home, takes this as an opportunity to make a documentary, and the awkwardness that ensues is frequently cringe-inducing but also charming, endearing, and relatable to anyone who's ever had a sibling they just can't quite live up to. To no one's surprise, the best parts of the footage quickly become those based around Tom, the bumbling, beer-swilling, often-buzzed "director," who asks such remedial questions of the hipster band members that they all need a beat before they realize he's actually serious. (One example: Tom asks his brother if he ever "gets tired onstage" and, in a moment that veers into Spinal Tap territory, asks the band's drummer, "How many drugs, and what kinds of drugs, have you done?")
Initially, Tom thinks he's signed up for a sex, drugs, and rock-and-roll party tour, but when he discovers the sedate Brooklyn-based band is way more into sipping wine than slamming Jack Daniels, he's disappointed, to say the least. So he keeps getting in trouble, screwing up little tasks, and drinking too much of the band's booze, all the while turning the camera on himself to capture just how bad he is at all of this "work" stuff. It's almost enough to make viewer suspect the whole thing's a Joaquin Phoenix-esque hoax. At one point, Tom complains to Matt about being picked on by his boss, the tour manager, who repeatedly tells Tom to put down the camera and get his job done. "It's like they think the only reason I'm here is because I'm your brother!" says Tom. To which Matt responds bluntly, "The only reason you're here is that you are my brother." It's a slap in the face, but obviously one in a lifelong string of misplaced expectations and comparisons. Through the rough-cut footage of the concerts, it quickly becomes clear that Matt, nine years Tom's senior, is a naturally gifted star. He's dramatic, cool, dynamic, a quintessential lead singer. As for Tom? He's a roadie—on a good day.
The shootings at Columbine High School. Wes Craven's Scream movies. These are the all-too-familiar cultural touchstones referenced by the teen killers in the utterly chilling beginning of Lost for Life, a world premiere directed by Joshua Rofé. The documentary, which examines the question of whether it should be legal for juveniles to be sentenced to life without parole, begins with 16-year-olds Brian and Torey plotting to kill a classmate—seemingly just for kicks. Rofé reenacts the crime through photographs and actual video shot by the two boys both before and after the murder. It's shocking and horrific, and makes the film's goal of garnering sympathy for murderers seem well-nigh impossible.
But Rofé does an admirable job. Many of the convicted juveniles he interviews were abused as children; one, who spent more than 20 years in prison, was involved in a gang from a very young age. In one scene, photographs are shown of a young boy with his mother and stepfather as the man that boy became describes how he killed them; later, as he recounts the emotional and physical abuse he suffered at their hands, the same photographs are shown, imbued with a new air of menace. Among the questions raised: What does it say about America that when innocence is corrupted and the system fails to help children who need it, they're forced to pay with their whole lives? Should children not be given a chance at redemption?
There are no fancy corner offices to be found in Dawn Porter's documentary about the career paths of public defenders in the South. With a mission that mostly focuses on lessening the penalty for the majority of cases that come across their desks (these lawyers see a 90-to-95-percent guilty plea rate), these attorneys operate in a subset of the legal system that doesn't offer the glitz of TV courtrooms.
While the cases and clients in the film are somewhat stereotypical for a documentary about the many problems within the US legal system, there are scenes throughout that create a compelling narrative arc. Rather than focusing solely on the clients, Porter hones in to examine the lives of lawyers who work for paychecks that barely make a dent in their law school loans.
One scene features a room full of public defenders at a support group meeting—much like one their clients would be court-ordered to attend—where frustrations about innocent clients, moral obligations, and personal lives all emerge as topics that bring these lawyers to the verge of tears.
The obvious question is what motivates them to continue down this career path, and Porter offers a lesson in the history of public defenders dating back to the civil rights movement—the ones who fought hard in court to ensure justice was served for individuals sent to jail for sitting at the diner counter or the front of the bus.
Before online petitions and social media made it as easy as the click of a mouse, to protest in America could mean facing professional, social, and financial ruin, as well as a possible prison sentence. Bill Siegel's The Trials of Muhammad Ali looks at a tumultuous period during the incomparable fighter's life, when as an already divisive figure, he stood his ground, affirmed his faith, and protested against what he saw as an unjust war. But by seeking to cover the many different facets of Ali's life, the film often seems to zigzag over the highs and lows of his career without finding its focus.
The images and the quotes from newsreel interviews with Ali in the '60s and '70s certainly reinforce the narrative of a life spent struggling with issues of race and religion, but the additional attempts to frame these events within a larger context come up short. The opening scene from a British talk show reveals Ali listening to host David Susskind refer to him as "a simplistic fool and a pawn," while the fighter remains utterly cool and expressionless. Nothing from the film's present-day interviews can match the composure Ali expresses in that single 30-second clip.
The movie explores Ali's conversion to Islam, the changing of his name (from Cassius Clay), and his bold decision to protest the Vietnam War and to face prison time rather than enlist. The reaction it engenders is stark and undeniable, and Ali faces constant pressure to defend and explain himself. In a brutal Floyd Patterson fight, Patterson refuses to call him anything but Cassius Clay, so Ali strategically pummels him for 12 rounds.
We have the benefit of hindsight to enjoy watching Caucus, A.J. Schnack's new film about the Republican primary race in the months leading up to the 2012 Iowa caucus, but it's also possible we could have used a little more time to get the taste of deep-fried butter and Godfather's Pizza out of our mouths.
Not that there aren't moments in the film that, almost shockingly, the passage of time has all but eradicated—Tim Pawlenty flipping pork chops at the Iowa State Fair, say, or Sarah Palin strutting around in a tight white T-shirt and stoking the speculation embers into a veritable conflagration. That was back in August of 2011, when Michele Bachmann was—now somewhat unbelievably—Mitt Romney's fiercest competitor, tooting her campaign bus horn over and over again (it starts to feel like a metaphor) and winning the Ames straw poll that same month.
Schnack documents all the eccentricities of the leadup to Iowa in infinitesimal detail, from the way Bachmann tenderly pats an elderly woman's shoulder and coos at her to Mitt Romney's statement that corporations are people (my friend). His camera is everywhere—sometimes improbably so. He's in the lobby filming while an Iowa state representative complains to a Republican that the Fox News hosts at the previous night's debate were too critical of the candidates. He's there when Herman Cain hands a woman his business card, leaving both giggling. And he pans in on Ron Paul attempting to close a car door for what starts to feel like an unfairly long time.
The sight of an all-white, all-male panel discussing issues that affect women is, sadly, not unfamiliar in these times, whether it's the House Oversight Committee debating contraceptive insurance coverage, or a Judiciary subcommittee proposing a nationwide ban on abortions after the 20-week mark, or the Joint Chiefs of Staff testifying about sexual assault in the military. But there's still something shocking about the CSPAN footage of Anita Hill testifying to a Senate committee about being sexually harassed by Clarence Thomas in 1991. Led by none other than Vice President Joe Biden, and featuring an all-star lineup including Orrin Hatch, Arlen Specter, and a distinctly uncomfortable Ted Kennedy, the panel seems to approach Hill with attitudes ranging from bewilderment to barely concealed rage.
Anita is Academy Award-winning filmmaker Freida Lee Mock's tribute to Hill, 22 years after she polarized America. Mock follows Hill around her Brandeis University office (the words "Speak Truth to Power" are framed on her wall) and explores in detail the case that made her both a household name and a national target. The film opens with a lingering shot of a telephone, followed by the audio of a now-infamous voicemail left by Ginny Thomas in 2010. "Good morning, Anita Hill," says the voice. "I just wanted to reach across the airwaves and the years and ask you to consider something. I would love you to consider an apology sometime and some full explanation of why you did what you did with my husband."

'Annie' is being moved to the 21st century, but what can we expect from the Will Smith and Jay-Z produced remake?
The first trailer for the 'Annie' remake has finally been released and sees the classic tale given a throughly modern update. Since the film won't be out until December that means there's plenty of time to get up to speed on the remake of this classic tale.
Quvenzhane Wallis star of the new 'Annie' movie
Little orphan Annie first came into public consciousness way back in 1894 as a comic strip by Harold Grey which ran in the New York Daily News. The character would have a long run and kept appearing in the comic strip right up until 2010 when it was finally cancelled. The famous redhead then got her first big screen outing in 1932 and again in 1939 but both were critically panned on release and have been mostly forgotten about. Then in 1977 came a Broadway musical based around the character, which told the story of Annie we're most familiar with. With music by Charles Strouse and lyrics by Martin Charnin, the famous orphan became all singing and dancing on the big stage. This 'Annie' was then adapted into a film in 1982 with Aileen Quinn as the title character with Albert Finney as Daddy Warbucks and Carol Burnett as Miss Hannington. The next film version would be a 1998 made for TV movie by Disney featuring Alicia Morton as Annie with Victor Garber, Kathy Bates and Kirsten Chenowith. Which brings us now to the 2014 version and after 120 years in the public eye, little orphan Annie was long overdue an update.
Relive Quvenzhane Willis in the 'Beasts of the Southern Wild' trailer:
The Cast
The original idea to update 'Annie' came from Will Smith, who bought the rights in 2011, intending the project for his daughter Willow. However by 2013, the now 13 year old Willow out grew the part and Quvenzhané Wallis was announced as her replacement before filming began last year. Wallis is quite the rising child star and at just nine years old she became the youngest person ever to receive an Academy Award nomination when she was recognised last year for her debut acting performance in 'Beasts of the Sounthern Wild'. Although she didn't win the Oscar she followed it up with a part in this year's Oscar winner '12 Years a Slave'.
More: why Sandra Bullock turned down the role of Miss Hannigan.
The incredibly cute and talented actress will be a completely different Annie for a whole new generation as the character is usually known for her trademark red hair. Starring alongside Quvenzhané will be Jamie Foxx who will play Will Stacks, a wealthy politician based on the original Oliver Warbucks character. Camerion Diaz is also starring as Miss Hannington, the cruel owner of Annie's orphanage and the supporting cast will include 'Bridesmaids' actress Rose Byrne and Bobby Cannavale.
Jamie Foxx as Will Stacks, filming 'Annie' in New York
The team
Directing is Will Gluck whose credits include 'Easy A' and 'Friends With Benefits'. He's also co-written the script with Aline Brosh McKenna as well as getting help from actress and writer Emma Thompspon. Will Smith has stayed involved as the producer and he will be teaming up with none other than Mr Carter himself, rapper Jay Z. Jay Z will be instrumental in updating the classic story for the new young audience. Having given the famous song 'Hard Knock Life' an update before, this time he will be turing his hand to all the Annie classics including 'Tomorrow' as well as contributing original songs.
More: How Ryan Murphy was originally tapped for the role of director.
The plot
Staying close to the stage version, this 'Annie' follows the young orphan who is left by her parents as a baby with the promise that they'd be back for her someday, and is growing up in Miss Hannigan's orphanage. Things begin to change when wealthy mayoral candidate Will Stacks takes Annie in as a good PR stunt. The setting is moved from the original depression era America to post-2007 Recession New York. Problems arising when a couple claiming to be Annie's real parents arrive looking for the youngster. Expect this Annie to be even more plucky and streetwise than the original as she tries to teach Jamie Foxx a thing or two.
Jamie Foxx and the cast of 'Annie' film in New York
The trailer
Now that we've seen the first trailer, we can get a bit more insight into how this modern retelling is going to play out. The New York setting seems pretty shiny and almost cartoony, which is sure to appeal to its target young audience. What's also clear is that 'Annie' is sure to contain an overload of cultural references to assure us we're in the 21st century. We're only a few seconds in when we get a George Clooney reference from Miss Hannington, later on we also have a nod to Facebook. We also see that Will Stack's office is throughly modern as he is seen engaging in a video chat with his campaign manager. Indeed it seems when it comes to the new life Annie is enjoying, film makers have gone all out to move the character into a glossy high tech world - there's helicopters and what seems to be an amazing constellation effect in Annie's new bedroom, which will surely make most kids watching jealous.
The musical numbers look like they'll certainly be a focal point of the movie - they come complete with backing dancers and even balloons at one point. We can also expect Jamie Foxx to get involved in a bit of singing and dancing too, since we know he can. Distributors have been very smart giving 'Annie' a release date so close to Christmas, when families will be looking for a film to entertain the children. This updating of a classic story might just become the holiday's biggest box office hit, especially with the star power of Will Smith and Jay-Z so closely attached. Hopefully the story will be given some much needed edge and not be too saccharine for the older accompanying audience, but judging by the trailer we wont be booking our adult tickets just yet.

Destiny: Gods of Night by David Mack Review Thread (Spoilers!)

Re: Star Trek: Destiny: Gods of Night - SPOILER Thread
Well...I have 1/5 of the book to finish, and I want to do it at one sitting, but let me make my comments and questions:
I like the way the chapters are broken up into the year it takes place in, and the only thing I would have added was, say the ship's name, current stardate, and location as a preamble before going into what was happening on the
, etc...to give it more of a "Hunt for Red October" sorta feel. (But that's just me, I'm sure.)
I visualize the Caeliar as a cross between the Genoshans from Episode II and those aliens from The Abyss.
I, also, am at a loss as to when B'Ellana leaves Tom. Did she leave him to go into hiding to protect Miral? Also...when the heck is
in space again? Wasn't that ship turned into a museum?
I like how the
was mentioned but not being part of the story cross over. I found myself mentally noting where the ships of my own fan fics would be during this storyline as well.
I wonder if a frustrated Riker will seek some "console" from Vale. There was a hint that he was thinking that.
The Anime Sex Kitten T'Ryssa Chen only has one line in this book and it doesn't involve her thinking about recreational sexual intercourse, having recreational sexual intercourse, or simply being with no clothes on, yet she still manages to irritate Picard.
I accidently flipped to the back of the book and notice the Appendix section. Why the HELL isn't THAT in the BEGINNING of the book??
All in all...one of the better Trek Novels I have read in a LONG time and I look forward to the next three stories!
is how I visualize T'Ryssa Chen.

Re: Superman Begins
^I'm sorry, but that's a recipe for failure. The audience doesn't want a Superman movie in which Superman is a baby for the first 1/2 to 2/3 of the movie. That's not at all like BB, which introduced us to Bruce in media res when he was well into his training, and flashed back to the salient points of his origin. What you're proposing would by like if BB had spent the first 1/2 to 2/3 of the movie focusing on Thomas and Martha Wayne while Bruce was a kid.

I was just wondering if anyone know what is the April Hidden Mickey pins? I heard that it is delay on different boards. Or have you seen it on any CM landyard?
I've been trying to find out too...on the what's new on pinpics someone posted a listing for Little Mermaid pins for 2009 DLR Hidden Mickeys, but no pictures. Whether or not this is true is still waiting to be seen, but it's the only clue I've found so far...
either way wish it would look cool..
Just went to DTD today at lunch and didn't see anything new at all.
I wondered too because I'm coming to DL next week!
They're going to be Peter Pan chess pieces and Small World children
Take a look here Disneyland Resort - April 2009
Those two sets were released earlier this year. They are now being released in Mystery Pouches. Most, if not all, lanyard series pins end up in a mystery pouch that one can buy.
The lanyard pins for April apparently were finally spotted today in the park. They are a little mermaid set, but no pics have been found yet.
There are some on Ebay for sale. I am underwhelmed. Too bad because I am going next week and hoped for a cool set.
Here's the whole set.
I can't decide whether or not to be happy that I DON'T like them! ha! This means I won't be desperately seeking them all, but, I wanted a good set that I could seek out during my vacation there next week. :(
If, however, I could make $44.99 for them (like that Ebayer) I would desperately seek them out! ;)
