Children's CD players
Music is something that each and every one of us appreciates. The same goes with kids too. They love music, probably as much as adults. Music will help your child be more productive, organized and most importantly relaxed. Now even though it's named "kids CD Player" adults can enjoy them too, think about it, after all it does play CD's. Now looking for a Children's CD player may not be as easy as it sounds. There are so many ones available and it would be great if you could get your hands on the best.
When it comes to CD players for toddlers you must ensure that it can be attached to your crib. The Sing along CD player here is perhaps the best toddler CD player. This CD player has a 45-second antiskip protection, a clear LCD display, a reasonably high output speaker, headphone jacks, built in pocket on the back which can hold one CD and plenty other child-friendly features which will make things really convenient either to entertain your child during the day or put him to sleep at night.
The Disney princess CD players are also an extremely popular choice. This Disney Princess My First CD Player includes 3 CDs and plays 5 Princess Songs & 18 All Time Favorite Melodies which your child will love listening to. This CD player is also illuminated and has the lights flash in sync to the music. This would be perfect a perfect CD player for your little princess!
If you already have a Children CD player then you should think about getting your child a CD dual alarm clock. This way your child can wake up to some of the favorite songs that he/she loves. With a CD dual alarm clock you can put in your child's favorite songs and they would play at the time you set as the alarm. Think about it, who wouldn't love waking up to their favorite music.
So what are you waiting for? Go get your child a good children CD player this new year.

SALT LAKE CITY — A federal appeals court in Denver is now considering whether to halt same-sex marriages from being performed in Utah, after a judge here denied the state's request to stop them.
At a hearing this morning in U.S. District Court, Judge Robert Shelby denied a motion to stay the marriages, pending an appeal to the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. Shelby questioned why the state did not bring a motion to stay earlier, like others have in advance of similar rulings.
"It was the Friday before Christmas," Phil Lott, an assistant Utah Attorney General, told the judge, saying they did not have notice the ruling was coming down.
Lott said the decision has created "chaos," with same-sex couples rushing to their county clerk's offices to be married.
"There's great irony in Utah being compelled by the federal government to adopt a definition of marriage as one man and woman," Lott told the judge. "Now, the government seeks to adopt a different definition."
Lott said allowing the same-sex marriages to continue would cause "irreparable harm" to the state and create further confusion if those marriages were invalidated.
"Is there also irreparable harm when citizens are denied constitutional rights?" Judge Shelby asked.
Peggy Tomsic, an attorney for the couples who sued Utah to overturn Amendment 3, said the state was trying to re-argue what it had already lost when the judge declared it unconstitutional.
"A court requires more than a simple re-argument," she told the judge.
Shelby agreed, denying the state's motion to halt the marriages. In making his ruling, Shelby also admonished county clerks to start issuing licenses to same-sex couples, or they would be breaking the law.
"To the extent it's not clear from the court's ruling, my intent was to find that the laws of Utah that operate to deny same-sex couples the right to marry — operate in violation of due process," he said.
On Friday, Shelby ruled that Utah's Amendment 3 — defining marriage as between one man and one woman — was unconstitutional. The first same-sex marriages were performed within an hour of the ruling coming down, Darcy Goddard, an attorney for the Salt Lake County District Attorney's Office, told the judge in court.
In court, Tomsic accused Governor Gary Herbert of creating confusion for the clerks by sending a letter over the weekend, urging them to seek advice from their county attorneys and county commissions before proceeding.
Outside of court, Lott refused to tell FOX 13 if the attorney general's office would instruct county clerks to issue licenses.
Within minutes of Judge Shelby's ruling, the Utah Attorney General's Office filed a motion to stay the marriages within the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals. Two previous attempts had been denied by the appeals court, which said the state failed to follow proper procedures.
Judges Holmes and Bacharach with the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals ordered lawyers for the gay couples suing to overturn Amendment 3 to have a response to the state's request by 5 p.m.
Their ruling on whether to grant or deny a stay could then come at any time.
Poll: Should same-sex marriages continue in Utah?

Finding a Good Apartment
Most of the time, it's better to just rent a home instead of owning one. Maybe, you've just moved out of your parent's house, relocated for a new job, and still unsure if you should buy a home right away. Whatever the reason is, there are factors you need to remember when scouting for a place to rent. Start by looking at listings of residential rental properties to see what your options are.
This is an all-important factor for anyone on the apartment hunt. People always look for a place near their offices, schools or entertainment centers. Location can also affect the property's renting price. The general rule is that the more sought after the area is, the higher the price will be.
This will determine the size and area of the house. It's also a determining factor when choosing the apartment's location. Decide on your budget depending on the ideal features that will suit your lifestyle.
Find out if the facilities you need are available in the apartment. Whether it's a simple dishwasher or washer and dryer to public spaces like pools and clubhouses, check with your landlords if they can provide what you need.
Research online and visit websites that not only provide a list of the available real estates for rent, but also photos of the actual units. Before signing the lease, be aware of what the rent amount covers as well as other important details. This way, you'll avoid any issues with your landlord in the long run.

In this Sept. 13, 2010 file photo, Kansas City Chiefs mascot KC Wolf rides on a zip line before an NFL football game against the San Diego Chargers, in Kansas City, Mo. Dan Meers, who sometimes plays KC Wolf, is in stable condition after a weekend acciden
— A man who has been the Kansas City Chiefs' mascot for more than two
decades was in stable condition after being seriously injured this
weekend while rehearsing a zip line routine at Arrowhead Stadium. His
attorney said Tuesday his injuries appear to be caused by human error.
Meers, who has played the KC Wolf since the mascot's inception in 1989,
was seriously injured Saturday while practicing for Sunday's game
against the San Diego Chargers. No description of Meers' specific
injuries was available, but a longtime friend said Meers suffered a
serious back injury.
"The injuries appear to be related to the
manner in which a third-party company secured the riggings," his
attorney, Tim Dollar, said. "However, an investigation is pending."
is listed as an executive committee member of the Newark, Del.-based
Mascot Hall of Fame. According to its website, Meers previously
performed as Fredbird, the St. Louis Cardinals' mascot, and the
University of Missouri's mascot Truman the Tiger.
"Dan is one of
the greatest guys on the Earth," said Rod Handley, a Lee's Summit
minister who has known Meers for 24 years. "He has a beaming smile
always on his face. He's one unbelievable guy."
Handley said Meers is a devout Christian who is a board member for Handley's ministry, Character That Counts.
About 25 friends and church members were at the hospital Sunday when Meers successfully underwent back surgery, Handley said.
"These are not minor injuries," Handley said. "This is very serious."

WholeFoods Magazine SourceBook: The Natural Products Directory
There are fruits, and then there are superfruits. More than just a lot of marketing hype, the title of superfruit most often designates a richly nutritious, often exotic and delicious food, one with studied health benefits. As a category, it is a relative newcomer to the dietary supplement stage, and as such it is still developing.
Many regulatory changes are percolating in the natural products industry. Leaders from several industry associations and nonprofits offer some insight about what could be in store for companies in the near future.
The subject of weight management does not only merit the concern of those looking to shed significant pounds. The term "management" applies beyond the effort undertaken by millions to achieve a healthier body composition. It also implies maintenance, and the struggle we all go through to retain that healthy state. The supplements available to aid in these efforts (rather than to magically or immediately secure results) are diverse.
Watery eyes, going through boxes of tissues and feeling stuffy and congested; allergy season causes millions to feel downright miserable.
There's a group of shoppers I bet you know well. They enter your store with a determined look, make a beeline for your supplements section and head to the register with a few bottles of green food supplements in their arms. This happens every month or so, with clockwork regularity. In short, they're green foods die-hards.
New from Country Life Vitamins is Omega Surge, made with the "latest advance in Omega Technology." Using an exclusive emulsified technology, Omega Surge provides enhanced delivery of omega-rich oils in a lemon gummy for adults, says the company. The gummies have no fishy aftertaste, are made with highquality fish oil and do not contain sugar, gluten or soy.
New from Jarrow Formulas is Citicoline in a 120-capsule sized bottle. The product has been tested in clinical trials related to memory, verbal memory, recognition, recall and cognition. Citicoline is naturally occurring and synthesizes phosphatidylcholine, which makes up a large part of the gray matter in brain tissue.
UAS Laboratories launches Probiogreen. The product contains DDS Probiotics and Parry organic spirulina. It is said to help those with age-related health conditions such as type-2 diabetes, macular degeneration, fatty liver disease, neurodegenerative disorders and cardiovascular disease. Probiogreen will be available as a finished product or as a raw material.
Buried Treasure presents a variety of new liquid supplements. Included in the Organic line are Organic B Essential, Organic C Essential, Organic Kid's Multi, Organic Men' s Multi, and Organic Ladies' Multi. Each product contains condensed vitamins from organic whole foods and promotes faster results than pills and tablets produce. A serving size is just two tablespoons.

From Hospital to the Humber: Paul makes it a double success on finals day
Posted: September 01, 2012|
Paul Grimbleby enjoyed a superb double success at the finals of the Scunthorpe and District Bowls League.
The Scunthorpe bowler won both the Men's Singles title and, with the help of his wife Sue, the Open Pairs title at Epworth Bowls Club.
In the singles, the Hospital Cup, he faced a tough game against Andy Willey (Brigg), and what an exhibition of bowling it turned out to be.
The pair, who each produced some quality bowling, were practically inseparable through a thrilling contest which stood at 9-9, 10-10, 13-13, 14-14 and 15-15.
With the scores at 17-all, Paul made his move, picking up three shots and one on the next to finish the 21-17 winner.
In the Open Pairs, the Hunter Cup, Paul teamed up with wife Sue against Jim Longley and John Markham (Perrys Sports).
The Perrys pair soon found themselves chasing the match at 16 to six shots down, and although Jim and John produced some great bowls they were unable to combat the brilliant form of the Grimbleby pair, who eventually took the title 23-13.
The Open Triples (Star Shield) was contested by Jim Davidson, Ron Kelly and Phil Boulton, of Cemetery Road, and Haxey's Eric Garner, Tony Chadwick and Mick Bingham.
In this match the Haxey trio started well, developing an 11-3 lead.
But the resilience of the Cemetery Road three then kicked in and they produced some great bowls, clawing the score back to just three shots adrift.
Davidson, Kelly and Boulton though, responded with their own excellent spell and sprinted for home, wrapping up a 21-13 success.
In the Ladies' Singles (Lysaghts Cup), Sue Grimbleby (Scunthorpe) played against Maureen Medhurst (Bottesford) in a match that developed into an intriguing battle.
Maureen produced some superb quality bowls and Sue soon found the game running away from her in a 19-9 scoreline.
The Scunthorpe bowler though, continued to fight hard and started to claw her way back into the game, reducing Maureen's advantage to only seven shots at 19-12.
Maureen then summoned up some great bowls to collect two shots (the second on a measure) to secure the title 21-12.
But she could not repeat that success with partner Chris Robinson in the ladies' Pairs (Jubilee Cup).
Up against Jenny Rowe and Rena Markham (Perrys Sports), they trailed to some first class play and once in front, the Perrys Sports duo found their consistency to win 21-10.
The day closed with league president Brian Brown presenting players with their trophies and thanking his club, Epworth, for the facilities.
Torrential rain and thunder storms were rife in the area but during the course of the day's finals the weather conditions remained excellent.

Fat Graft Survival on Breasts: General Anesthesia Together with a Breast Lift VS. Local Anesthesia Separately Later/before?
Doctor Answers 2
Fat Graft Survival on Breasts: General Anesthesia Together with a Breast Lift VS. Local Anesthesia Separately Later/before?
Find a board certified plastic surgeon who performs hundreds of breast lifts each year. Look for great reviews and great before and after pictures.

Fat transfer to breasts
I always advise my patients to perform the fat transfer to the breasts separate from the lift to avoid compromising blood flow for the tranfer. You may be more comfortable doing both procedures under general anesthesia, at least three months apart. However, fat transfer can also be done under local anesthesia. The drugs used during general anesthesia are short acting and can be safely given three months apart. Fat transfer done as the first procedure will have less scarring to deal with in the breast and perhaps provide more success. I do recommend you see a board certified plastic surgeon who does fat transfer to breasts,

July Food LetterPosted by admin | Under General Wednesday Jul 1, 2009
Every month in 2009, I am writing a post detailing some specific things about food in the upcoming month.
Before I get to the food, I have to give a shout out to the Foodie Fights battle happening today. It's a really close battle with some awesome dishes. Check it out and vote for your favorite at foodiefights.com!
It's seriously summer now. There is no way around it. July is really the month of abundance and there are so many things that are ripe for the picking it almost isn't worth trying to sum them up in a newsletter. I've picked some of my favorites though that maybe are a bit off the beaten path (not tomatoes!). Hopefully, it will give you some ideas for things to look out for in the markets.
What to Eat in July
Peaches – It's possible that there is nothing I love more than a perfectly ripe peach. At the same time, I hate an unripe peach. Luckily, most the peaches these days are good and juicy.
Peach Pie - One of the best uses I can think of for this delicious fruit. The perfect application. (@ Pete Bakes)
Peach Passion Granola – Dried peaches round out an awesome homemade granola. (@ No Recipes)
Peaches and Cream Pancakes – I totally wish I would have thought of this. Looks awesome. (@ Butter & Sugar)
Peach Cookies – Peach cookies filled with Nutella? Sure why not. (@ Cafe Chocolada)
Fennel – I cook with fennel a lot, but it is really in its prime this time of year. The bulbs are full and flavorful and it pairs really nicely with lots of other summer flavors.
Fennel and Orange Salad – One of my favorite Macheesmo salads if I do say so myself.
Pork Tenderloin and Braised Fennel – A match made in heaven. Braising fennel sounds good to me. (@ Sophistimom)
Steamed Mussels and Fennel Escabeche – A recipe by Top Chef winner Stephanie Izard (@ Steamy Kitchen)
Salmon with Fennel and Olives – A delicious recipe and good looking photo. (@ Sugar Laws)
Mackerel – Holy Mackerel! Ok. I didn't really know about mackerel being in season until I started researching for this post. Might be worth a trip to the fish hut though…
Seaweed Salad with Mackerel – Ok. So this post is more about the salad than the mackerel, but both look awesome. (@ WrightFood)
BBQ Mackerel – Perfect for a hot July BBQ day. (@ Girl Interrupted Eating)
Potato and Peppered Mackerel Salad – A very interesting take on potato salad! (@ Grubsup)
Artichokes – Ahh the prickly bulb of deliciousness. People are scared of artichokes I think and maybe with reason. They are kind of a pain to prepare. But if you can manage to get through the prep, they are worth it.
Grilled Artichokes – I've never tried these guys on the grill before, but they look delicious! (@ 5 second rule)
Veal and Artichoke Avgolemono – An interesting Greek dish with a solid explanation on cleaning these little guys. (@ Kalofagas)
One more tomorrow… I'm posting an awesome artichoke recipe tomorrow, so be sure to come back for it.
Fourth of July - The real holiday this month is happening this weekend! There are a bunch of things you could make for the fantastic fourth. Some good burgers might work or maybe some Texas Caviar? Also, Bon Appetit had an excellent round up of solid Fourth of July dishes.
So that's it for this food letter. I hope you all have had a good first half of 2009 – I know I have. Enjoy the summer!

"Lawrence is obviously fun and funny and youthful and beautiful and in her prime and just kind of absolutely dominates," Feinberg said. "When she comes on screen, she takes over, most notably with the scene with De Niro and puts everyone in their place. Not everyone can step on the screen and blow Robert de Niro right off of it."
De Niro, her fellow co-star Bradley Cooper and director David O. Russell have all been outspoken about their love of Lawrence in this role. She's kooky yet the audience can't help but love her.
Wallis makes her acting debut in "Beasts of the Southern Wild" and is the youngest actress ever to be nominated for Best Actress. She's four years younger than the previous record holder, Keisha Castle-Hughes. While Feinberg points out that she is impressive in her role, she's new to the business and therefore generally unknown to the voters.
"You know, I would probably say that it's Lawrence most likely and Riva based on BAFTA," Feinberg said about his top two contenders for the Oscar. "Although I think everyone has underestimated how well Watts is going to do. This is going to be a matter of just a few votes separating the nominees by just a few."

Williams named University of Alabama in Huntsville president
David B. Williams
David B. Williams, the Harold Chambers Senior Professor of Materials Science and Engineering, has been named the University of Alabama in Huntsville's (UAH) fifth president.
Williams served as Lehigh's vice provost for research for seven years. He will succeed Dr. Frank Franz, who will step down at the end of the spring 2007 semester.
Williams was appointed following a yearlong, competitive nationwide search of more than 200 applicants.
"It is a great honor to serve as the University of Alabama in Huntsville's next president," says Williams, who officially assumes his new role on July 1. "I am impressed by the wonderful faculty, staff and students and the people in the surrounding Huntsville area and look forward to becoming a member of this large, warm campus community."
Williams, with more than 30 years of distinguished service at Lehigh, was chair of the department of the materials science and engineering in the P.C. Rossin College of Engineering and Applied Science prior to his tenure as Vice Provost for Research.
"Dave is a talented scholar and leader," says Alice P. Gast, president of Lehigh University. "His leadership in the areas of research, innovation, and creating strong partnerships will serve the University of Alabama Huntsville well, both on and off campus. We wish him the very best."
Under his leadership, the research enterprise at Lehigh has seen great progress, with research revenues growing from $28.5 million in 2000 to $48.1 million in 2005.
"I have known and worked with Dave for more than 30 years, and clearly the University of Alabama in Huntsville has chosen a superb leader and a renowned scholar," says Mohamed El-Aasser, Lehigh University provost. "I will miss him and his wife, Margaret, and wish them both the best of luck in their new roles."

Walt Disney Studios and Jerry Bruckheimer Productions have provided us with these 'fun facts' from their upcoming release, The Lone Ranger (July 3, 2013), starring Johnny Depp and Armie Hammer. They also provided us with a new teaser poster for the film, displayed here (click to see the larger version).
From producer Jerry Bruckheimer and director Gore Verbinski, the filmmaking team behind the blockbuster Pirates of the Caribbean franchise, comes Disney/Jerry Bruckheimer Films' The Lone Ranger, a thrilling adventure infused with action and humor, in which the famed masked hero is brought to life through new eyes. Native American warrior Tonto (Depp) recounts the untold tales that transformed John Reid (Hammer), a man of the law, into a legend of justice—taking the audience on a runaway train of epic surprises and humorous friction as the two unlikely heroes must learn to work together and fight against greed and corruption.
- The Lone Ranger releases in 2013, exactly 80 years after the character first made its way onto the airwaves courtesy of WXYZ radio in Detroit, Michigan, on January 30, 1933. And coincidentally, Detroit is the city in which producer Jerry Bruckheimer was born and raised!
- Two background players attired in period costume for the Wild West Exhibition sequence were Ann Simon and her 10-year-old daughter Jenna Jewell Simon, respectively the granddaughter and great-granddaughter of James Jewell, who directed the very first broadcast of 'The Lone Ranger' radio series on January 30, 1933, and many thereafter.
- The creation of The Lone Ranger's mask required much trial and error from Joel Harlow's makeup department, with ten different designs and seven fittings with actor Armie Hammer. The final version was vacuum-formed over Hammer's face, and was made of very soft goatskin leather.
- The film's visual consultant Mark 'Crash' McCreery was so hands-on that he hand-carved the Native American petroglyphs that adorn the wooden frame around Old Tonto's diorama in the Wild West Exhibition tent, and personally painted symbols on the walls of a 200-foot-long train tunnel that he designed, which was built in Creede, Colorado.
- To bring his and Gore Verbinski's physical world of The Lone Ranger to life, visual consultant Mark 'Crash' McCreery's art department staff was composed of six art directors, eleven set designers, two illustrators, a scenic artist, multiple storyboard artists, two graphic designers, two model makers, a research coordinator, an art department production assistant and 274 members of the construction team.
- Twelve full-size structures comprised the 'town' of Colby, Texas, built in Rio Puerco, New Mexico, including a train station, livery stable, saloon, rooming house, bank, sheriff's office and various shops.
- Built adjacent to Colby was another town meant to be in a different state, Promontory Summit, Utah, more solidly built than the decidedly ramshackle Colby with brick and wood. The town was a crucial element in the re-creation of the famed Golden Spike ceremony that took place on May 10, 1869, when the Union Pacific and Central Pacific trains met head-to-head after completion of the Transcontinental Railroad.
- The colorful and wonderfully bizarre 'Hell on Wheels' set was prefabricated in the art department warehouse in Albuquerque for five weeks and then, over the course of another six weeks, assembled for filming in the rolling hills of Lamy, New Mexico. The end result was a fantastical cornucopia populated by a splendid and weird combination of snake charmers, human oddities, fire eaters, tea merchants, intestinal complaint medics, dentists, religious fanatics and railroad workers, set against a backdrop of lavish tents, stages and ramshackle booths anchored by the imposing exterior of Red's Traveling Entertainments.
- Academy Award®–winning set decorator Cheryl Carasik got advice on the dressing of Red Harrington's chambers from Helena Bonham Carter herself, who portrays the saloon owner. Among Carter's requests for the set were a pair of period handcuffs, riding crops, period-correct 1860s books on medicine and some risqué books that showed little more than exposed shoulders.
- The Sleeping Man Mine set, constructed in mountainous Creede, Colorado, at an elevation of more than 9,000 feet above sea level, was designed to blend in with the historic town's actual 19th century silver mine buildings. New structures included a 200-foot-long train tunnel with a 40-foot-tall faux rock front, a mile of railroad track, elevated tracks and trestles for ore carts, plus mining shacks that, although newly built, looked aged enough to fall apart at any moment.
- Creede, Colorado, one of the film's most important locations, has quite a Wild West history of its own. It was in Creede that Robert Ford, the 'dirty little coward' who shot Jesse James, was himself gunned down in 1892.
- The terrifyingly perched 'Spirit Platform,' on which John Reid (Armie Hammer) awakens, really was terrifyingly perched at the very edge of Moab, Utah's Dead Horse Point, with a nearly 2000 foot drop to the valley floor and Colorado River below. The rickety platform itself was an additional 18 feet high, and yes, that really is Armie Hammer and not a stunt performer on top of it!
- Although he carries no firearms, Tonto equips himself with two knives, one of which is ironically fashioned from a railroad spike.
- Red Harrington's (Helena Bonham Carter) ivory leg was designed by visual consultant Mark 'Crash' McCreery and illustrator Jim Carson, with the artwork done by Texas scrimshaw artist Linda Karst-Stone. Three different versions of the leg needed to be fabricated, one of which was outfitted by John Frazier's special effects department with a moveable gun barrel, fire, smoke and pneumatic controls.
- Costume Designer Penny Rose made certain that all the wardrobe was of fabrics authentic to the time and place: wool, cotton and silk. There are no zippers, buttons have only two holes per the period and every single female background player wears a corset.
- To properly age the wardrobe, Penny Rose and her team used a variety of innovative techniques, including putting them along with pebbles in a cement mixer, using cheese graters to wear them down and, occasionally, taking blowtorches to materials as well!
- Before shooting actually began, all main cast members of the film had to attend 'Cowboy Boot Camp' at a ranch in Albuquerque, New Mexico, learning to ride, shoot, rope, saddle a horse, drive wagons — whatever the action required.
- Among the technical adviser specialists assigned to work with the cast were expert gunslinger Keith Meriweather, who demonstrated the finer points of gun handling, including quick draws and twirling; and Steve Brown, one of the world's eight acknowledged yo-yo masters, who needed to teach Tom Wilkinson the distinctive way in which his character, Latham Cole, twirls, catches and releases a pocket watch.
- Shooting in all four seasons, the company of The Lone Ranger experienced nearly every weather condition imaginable, from huge amounts of wind and blowing dust to snow, rain, freezing rain, lightning strikes, hail and burning heat. The cast and crew worked in temperatures ranging from 29 degrees Fahrenheit to 115 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Before filming began, the film's Comanche adviser, Wahathuweeka-William Voelker and his associate Troy 'The Last Captive' performed a traditional blessing ceremony on the grounds of Albuquerque Studios, which included a magnificent Golden Eagle named 'Nue Pi' ('Tornado') they raised at Sia, their ethno-ornithological facility in Cyril, Oklahoma.
- The winds were so strong at Rio Puerco, New Mexico, the site chosen for the 'towns' of Colby and Promontory Summit, that a crewmember dubbed it 'The Devil's Sandbox.' Gusts of wind blew anywhere from twenty-five to seventy miles per hour, forcing the crew to wear scarves, bandanas and goggles for protection. By the end of the day, nonetheless, all were covered with dust from head to toe.
- Gore Verbinski and Jerry Bruckheimer deliberately chose the iconic landscapes of Monument Valley in the Navajo Nation as a backdrop for much of The Lone Ranger's action because of its heralded place in the history of the American western, made particularly famous in the films of John Ford.
- Johnny Depp, Armie Hammer, Jerry Bruckheimer, Gore Verbinski and the rest of the film's company were warmly greeted by Navajo Nation President Ben Shelly, Vice President Rex Lee Jim and a large delegation from the largest tribe in the United States.
- Filming in Canyon de Chelly, another natural landmark in the Navajo Nation, required the crew to utilize local safari vehicles, which are converted sixty-year-old, four-wheel-drive trucks from the Korean War, humorously dubbed 'Shake 'n' Bakes' by the local people.
- In both Monument Valley and Canyon de Chelly, several key cast members and filmmakers — including Johnny Depp, Armie Hammer, James Badge Dale and Gore Verbinski — lived out of their trailers at base camp, enjoying nightly campfires and music. They were sometimes fed traditional stews and fry bread by a local Navajo family on whose land they were staying.
- Another sacred Navajo Nation locale used by the filmmakers was the famed Shiprock, a 1,583-foot-high rock formation known to the local people as Tse'Bit'Ai ('rock with wings').
- After wrap on the final day of filming in tiny Creede, Colorado, Johnny Depp held an autograph-signing session with local people for nearly four hours, and despite the fact that the town has a population of only 290, nearly a thousand souls magically appeared for the occasion.
- Another lofty location in Moab, Utah, was Fossil Point, where the production somehow created a full-size train, workers' camp and 154 costumed extras. Fossil Point is also known as 'Thelma & Louise Point,' where the two cinematic outlaws drove off a cliff at the finale of the famed Ridley Scott film.
- In Moab, the town's sole sushi restaurant honored the film by creating such specials as 'Tonto-maki' and 'Kemowasabee Roll' and a drink called 'Kemo-sake Mojito.'
- Another lofty location that tested the cast and crew for their tolerance of high altitudes was the 8,600 foot high Angel Fire, New Mexico, usually known as a popular ski resort. It was here that the company completed its last location filming outside of California.
- On the final day of Johnny Depp and Armie Hammer's filming in late September 2012, a large cake was wheeled out with a picture decorating its top — not of the two stars, but rather their popular New Mexico-based stand-ins, Wes Trudell and James Blackburn — to the actors' great amusement.
- At wrap, it was calculated that The Lone Ranger had four-and-a-half months of prep, three preshoot days, one hundred and fifty shooting days, thirty-one weeks of filming in five states, twelve major company moves, three thousand camera setups, a thousand-plus shooting hours and a million-plus man hours.
- For a scene in which a derailed locomotive comes dangerously close to crushing Tonto and John Reid to powder, special effects supervisor John Frazier and his coordinator Jim Schwalm and their crew mounted a 25,400-pound locomotive on a 4,000-pound turntable which, pulled by cables, twisted and turned its way down a 10,000-pound track.
- For a scene in which The Lone Ranger gallops through a railroad passenger car on Silver, firing his pearl-handled six-shooter at full speed while passengers duck for cover, stunt coordinator Tommy Harper recruited such stunt legends as Terry Leonard, Hal Burton, Mic Rodgers, Randy Hice, Mike Runyard, Donna Evans and Lisa Hoyle, many of them second or third generation in their field and descendants of stunt performers who would have worked in the Golden Age of Hollywood when the Western was at its zenith.
- Rather than hire existing trains, the demands of the script meant that the production needed to build two 250-ton trains, and the five miles of track on which they rolled. An Albuquerque-based railroad and excavating service company called Gandy Dancer hauled in 3,8789,425 pounds of the 33-foot rail, bars, tie plates, and ties on 82 flatbed truckloads from Blythe, California. A whopping 60,429 pounds of bolts, washers, and turnouts were sent on two flatbed trucks from Kansas City, and 402,000 pounds of ties and spikes from Stockton, California.
- For a sequence depicting the building of the Transcontinental Railroad, train coordinator Jim Clark and experts from railroad company Gandy Dancer had to educate the one hundred background players portraying railroad workers in the numerous tasks necessary to build a railroad: carrying rails and ties, driving spikes, tightening joints, shoveling ballast, refilling water tenders, driving mule teams and surveying.
- The two trains built for the film (converted into three by switching rail cars) were period-authentic down to the last detail, save for the fact that they worked on modern hydraulic power rather than steam, and were all built like shipping containers so that they could be lifted off the train chassis and onto specially created flatbed trucks for "road rig" filming on various highways and byways in New Mexico, Colorado, Utah and California.
- The filming required that several actors — among them Johnny Depp, Armie Hammer, Tom Wilkinson, William Fichtner and Ruth Wilson — stand on top of trains moving at speeds up to 40 miles per hour.
- The Lone Ranger's 'Spirit Horse,' the famed Silver, is incredibly enough 'played' by a ten-year-old Thoroughbred-quarter horse mix named Silver, with which head horse trainer Bobby Lovgren of War Horse fame was already familiar.
- The film's Comanche technical advisers, Wahathuweeka-William Voelker and Troy 'The Last Captive' worked closely with various departments for historic and cultural accuracy. This included creating, for the first time, accurate Comanche Numu kahni (teepees) with a four-pole foundation.
- The film contains some 1,300 visual effects shots under the supervision of visual effects supervisors Tim Alexander, who also collaborated with Gore Verbinski on the director's Academy Award®–winning Rango, and Gary Brozenich.
- Two principal The Lone Ranger cast members are the sons of legendary Broadway musical theater stars. The parents of James Badge Dale, who portrays Dan Reid, are two-time Tony Award® nominee, actor/dancer/director/choreographer Grover Dale, who among so many credits was one of the original Jets on stage in 'West Side Story,' and Anita Morris, who starred in the original cast of 'Nine' and received a Tony Award® nomination for her efforts. And JD Cullum, who plays Latham Cole's associate, Wendell, is the scion of the great John Cullum, who has starred on the Great White Way in so many musicals, amongst them the original production of '1776' and winning Tony Awards® for both 'On the Twentieth Century' and 'Shenandoah.'

Here's three more fun party books from Barbara Beery and Gibbs-Smith! They are all filled with recipes that are perfect for themed parties or for tea parties or any special occasion. Below I have reviews and pictures for the Spa Princess Cookbook, the Pink Ponies Cookbook and the Green Princess Cookbook: Sweets and Treats to Save the Planet.
The Spa Princess Cookbook has over thirty ideas that will make your spa party extra special! It's divided into two sections: Spa Treats and Spa Treatments, with professional photographs accompanying each recipe. The suggestions in Spa Princess Cookbook would be perfect for a girl's party, for any age. There's lots of tasty recipes, like the Ice Cream Bites, which transform cream-filled sugar wafers into fruity, sparkly ice cream sandwiches. And the Pretty Princess Strawberries are filled with pink cream cheese filling and colorful sprinkles. Several refreshing drink recipes are included, as well as fun treats like fondue and fruit cups. I loved the fruit sushi, sweetened with brown sugar and coconut milk and topped with fruit and drizzle of honey-spice. The Spa Treatments section has ideas to pamper your guests; from Fruity Facials to a Banana Bread Beauty Mask. There are some nice gifts to make for your friends, like the Scented Glitter Gel, Confetti Bath Salts or the Popsicle Soap Bars. The Spa Princess Cookbook has yummy treats (and treatments:) that are simple to prepare, but would be ideal for any "spa" day.
There are thirty recipes in the Pink Ponies Cookbook, all excellent for a pony party theme. I really liked all the fun ideas and the nice photo layouts throughout. There are a lot of recipes to choose from, both savory and sweet, so a whole meal could easily be presented to the girls — and their parents, also! Sandwiches, pasta and nachos, all tying in to the pony party theme, would work well for the main course. Then there are drink and dessert recipes to round it all out. Of course, there are apples, these are dipped in white candy coating and sprinkled with nuts and tiny candies. Since many little ones' favorite ponies are magical, there are treats like rainbow Fairy Dust Lollipops. The Pony Party Ice Cream Cones combine ice cream and cake all in one portable and edible container! And the carousel cake takes the pink pony cookies (recipe included) and places them around the cake to produce a lovely carousel effect when you add some extra candy. If you have a pony lover in your home, Pink Ponies Cookbook would be a big help in coming up with the perfect pony party!
The Green Princess Cookbook: Sweets and Treats to Save the Planet has many suggestions as to how to eat more "green" and help the environment, your local economy, and your health all at the same time! It contains thirty delicious recipes to make from locally grown and organic foods, complete with gorgeous photos. Having a party using these recipes would be an excellent way to educate children about the benefits of eating green. Plus, it includes extra tips throughout to help you learn how to do better at living green in all areas of your life. I appreciated that many of the recipes were made with healthier ingredients, like honey, soy milk and fruits. There are lots of great ideas, like, if you want to use up your extra zucchini this summer, you could try Off the Vine Zany Zucchini Muffins. Or how about Jungle Boogie Banana Ice Cream made with organic bananas and fresh cream. Making homemade tortillas, butter and jam from recipes in Green Princess Cookbook: Sweets and Treats to Save the Planet would be a engaging party activity. And everyone would love the Flower Power Cookies as a take home gift! Green Princess Cookbook: Sweets and Treats to Save the Planet is a great introduction for kids to eating and living green!
