I can't begin to describe how much I was looking forward to making fun of The Bucket List. A Rob Reiner-directed dramedy about two squabbling terminal-cancer patients -Jack Nicholson, cackling and flexing his eyebrows, and Morgan Freeman, providing soothing, pithy bromides and the inevitable voice-over narration - who gradually become friends and live out their final days skydiving and race-car driving and scaling the pyramids ... . Was there any way this wouldn't be a syrupy disaster of epic proportions?

Bella (PG-13) - Alejandro Monteverde's drama, which concerns the friendship between a chef and a newly pregnant, newly unemployed waitress, received the People's Choice Award at the 2006 Toronto Film Festival. Um... who are these "people," exactly? Space people? Because I can see how Bella might be confused with a great movie if you didn't understand a word of human conversation. Even then, of course, you might still be put off by the film's bizarre editing (with flash-forwards routinely, meaninglessly interrupting scenes-in-progress) and lackluster photography; Montevrede shows more interest in food than in his stars. And then there's that baffling ending, which seems to set the film up for a sequel - one that fills in that massive "Huh?!?" of a climactic plot hole. But it's still the mawkish, maudlin screenplay that does it in; Eduardo Verástegui (looking uncannily like Jim Caviezel as Christ) and Tammy Blanchard (as ever, looking uncannily like Judy Garland) are stuck with unplayable dialogue and baldly written characters, and the movie shamelessly plies on the merely-functional supporting stereotypes. The movie is pro-life and pro-family with a vengeance, which might account for its (limited) popular success. I just wish it were also a little pro-brain, and a lot anti-cliché.

Eddie Murphy's latest latex comedy, Norbit, is an unusual mixture of abject stupidity and sheer genius. If you've seen the previews - and is there anyone left who hasn't? - you've pretty much gleaned the plot, which finds our nerdy, titular hero (Murphy) trapped in matrimonial hell with the punishing, frighteningly obese Rasputia (Murphy again), and yearning to win the heart of his one true love (Thandie Newton). From beginning to end, director Brian Robbins' movie is formulaic, repetitive, obvious, and not nearly as hysterical as it wants to be. It's also one of the few comedies of recent years to be touched with something approximating brilliance.

Working the Bone (Skull) w/Griffin
Sat Oct 12th, 2013 3-5pm $23; $3 discount for cash.
Sometimes called tapping the Bone, is a British Traditional approach to working with and mediating Ancestral Spirit and/or Familiar Spirits through the Skull Fetish, a tool we affectionately call "The Bone".
In this class we will explore the varied lore and practical applications associated with awakening and working with the Bone, from real human remains to crystal skulls, from metal skulls to resin skulls, stone fetishes and beyond! The Bone is one of the Key Tools within British Trad Craft steeped in mystery and seldom discussed, let alone taught. Opening controversial doors into many Initiate quarters, this is a most appropriate subject for this hallowed season.
We will continue this Bone work in our Samhain Rite, where we will make use of the Skull Fetish as a mediator of the Ancestral Crossroads, assisting spirits to cross over as well as mediating contact with spirits and loved ones from the other side. At our Samhain Rite you are invited, as always, to bring photos of departed loved ones. In addition, we also invite you to bring your own Bone (Skull) fetishes to work/assist in the rite, to charge or even initiate new Skull Fetishes into this Olde Art Magical Practice.The Green Man 5712 Lankershim Blvd North Hollywood CA 91601 North of the 101/134 Fwys

Six seasons have passed since Bill Cowher walked away from the Steelers, and 2013 likely will make it seven. But the CBS analyst and former Steelers coach said Tuesday that he probably will return to the NFL — eventually.
"It would be a challenge," he said of the layoff since he last coached, "but I think that's probably why I would get back into it, because of the challenge."
So he does plan to go back at some point? "Yeah," he said.
The question, of course, is when. Has Cowher been tempted by any of the current NFL openings, or heard from any of the teams who have them?
"No, no, no, no," he said at an event to promote CBS' coverage of Super Bowl XLVII. "Hey, we have the Super Bowl. All these coaches are trying to get there. I know I'm going to be there."
Cowher would be a hot commodity any time he signaled a willingness to return. When he is ready, he is convinced the layoff will be a "nonissue."
Griffin to have surgery
Robert Griffin III is having surgery today on a torn ligament in his right knee — and to see if there's a second ligament that also needs to be repaired.
The Redskins rookie has a torn lateral collateral ligament. He said the surgery also will determine whether Griffin has damaged his ACL in that knee.
A torn LCL requires a rehabilitation period of several months, possibly extending into training camp and the start of next season. A torn ACL is a more severe injury, typically requiring nine to 12 months of recovery.
Around the league
Dallas defensive coordinator Rob Ryan has been fired after his injury-depleted unit struggled in a pair of season-ending losses that kept the Cowboys out of the playoffs for a third straight year.
• The Panthers interviewed Giants director of college scouting Marc Ross and Montreal Alouettes GM Jim Popp for their vacant GM position. The Panthers also fired running backs coach John Settle, receivers coach Fred Graves and linebackers coach Warren Belin.
• The Jaguars hired Atlanta Director of Player Personnel David Caldwell as general manager, charging him with turning around one of the league's worst teams. His first move will be deciding the fate of coach Mike Mularkey.
• The Eagles will interview former Bears coach Lovie Smith for their coaching vacancy today. The Eagles also plan to interview Indianapolis offensive coordinator Bruce Arians and Seattle defensive coordinator Gus Bradley this week. They've also received permission to interview Cincinnati offensive coordinator Jay Gruden. The Eagles already have interviewed Atlanta assistants Mike Nolan and Keith Armstrong, Denver offensive coordinator Mike McCoy and Penn State's Bill O'Brien and Oregon's Chip Kelly. O'Brien and Kelly chose to remain at their schools.
• Jets coach Rex Ryan confirmed that offensive coordinator Tony Sparano has been fired, and quarterbacks coach Matt Cavanaugh hasn't been retained. Defensive coordinator Mike Pettine also will not return.
• The Cardinals chose to stay in-house with the promotion of Steve Keim to GM as the search for a new head coach continues.
• The Browns met with Montreal Alouettes coach Marc Trestman, who also interviewed with the Bears on Monday night.

In the new movie 'Country Strong,' which hits theaters nationwide on Jan. 7, our old pal Gwyneth Paltrow once again shows off some serious pipes -- something she last did on the big screen ten years ago in 'Duets,' which helped 'Crusin',' her vocal team-up with Huey Lewis spend a week at number one on the Adult Contemporary music chart.
Playing a troubled country star, Paltrow belts out the film's title song with gusto. But she's not the only movie star to have vocal chops -- or a hit single, for that matter. Here are some other actors who also have given their fans the gift of song, for better or worse.
Leighton Meester
When a cover of 'Bette Davis Eyes' recorded by 'Gossip Girl' actress Meester surfaced in 2008, fans were shocked that the petite brunette could actually croon. A year later, Paltrow's 'Country Strong' co-star released her first single, 'Somebody to Love,' featuring musician Robin Thicke; this followed her guest appearance on 'Good Girls Go Bad,' a 2009 summer hit by Cobra Starship. On the 'Country Strong' soundtrack, she covers Rascal Flatts' 'Words I Couldn't Say.' Though most people know Meester's 'Gossip Girl' co-star Taylor Momsen for her band the Pretty Reckless, Meester is the one showing off her vocal range on the big screen.
Bruce Willis
In the late 1980s, 'Die Hard' actor Bruce Willis had some success as a pop-blues singer with his debut album, 'The Return of Bruno.' (Burning question: Where had Bruno gone in the first place?) The lead single, 'Respect Yourself,' was a modest hit, but subsequent stabs at musical glory didn't fare as well. Still, Willis hasn't exactly been resting his voice, as the actor still gets on stage when he can -- such as in the video below.
Ethan Hawke
Ethan Hawke had four songs on the soundtrack for the 1994 movie 'Reality Bites,' in which he played Troy, Winona Rider's sexy musician love interest. On top of a cover of the Violent Femmes' track 'Add It Up,' the 'Before Sunset' actor also lended his throaty vocals to 'I'm Nothin'.' As if his character wasn't hot enough, Hawke's voice is actually pretty great.
Robert Downey Jr.
Robert Downey Jr. is known recently for his charming portrayal of Tony Stark in the 'Iron Man' franchise and for overcoming his troubled Hollywood past. But did you know the man can sing? Okay, so he never put out an album or had a hit single, but let's just add "singer" to the list of reasons Downey is super sexy.
Russell Crowe
The 'Gladiator' actor released 'Other Ways of Speaking' in 2003 with his band Russell Crowe and 30 Odd Foot of Grunts. The album didn't produce any hits but it did include this nice cover of Johnny Cash's 'Folsom Prison Blues.'
Dennis Quaid
Dennis Quaid and his band -- the aptly-named Dennis Quaid and the Sharks -- describe themselves as "rock and roll with country soul." Quaid, brother of beleaguered actor Randy Quaid, is known for 'The Big Easy' and 'The Parent Trap' remake. The Sharks have never put out an album but the band does perform regularly.
Minnie Driver
Minnie Driver is best known as an actress for her roles in film's like 'Good Will Hunting,' but early in her career, she was signed to Island Records as the frontwoman of a band called Puff, Rocks and Brown. In 2000, she went back to singing, with the release of an album titled 'Everything I've Got in My Pocket,' and she performed at SXSW. In 2007, she released her second album, 'Seastories.'
Scarlett Johansson
In 2008, actress Scarlett Johansson released an album with one original song and ten cover versions of Tom Waits songs entitled 'Anywhere I Lay My Head'; it recieved mixed reviews but sold well. In 2009, Johansson covered Jeff Buckley's "Last Goodbye" for the soundtrack of her film 'He's Just Not That Into You,' and she and musician Pete Yorn also released the duets album 'Break Up' in 2009. Johannsson has said she hopes to someday release a full album of original songs.
Juliette Lewis
Juliette Lewis, known for her roles in 'What's Eating Gilbert Grape?' and 'Natural Born Killers' started her band The Licks in 2004 as an outlet for grungy hard rock -- and Lewis is a frontwoman who can certainly rock out. The band split, however, in 2009, after touring festivals internationally and releasing the album 'You're Speaking My Language.' Lewis's new band, the New Romantiques, released the album 'Terra Incognita' this year.
Zooey Deschanel
The whimsical hipster-chic actress Zooey Deschanel is known for roles in 'Almost Famous' and '(500) Days of Summer,' but she can also sing with the best of them. A few years ago, Deschanel teamed up with indie singer/songwriter M. Ward to form the duo She & Him, and they have released two albums to date. Ward approached her to record songs after hearing her sing in the film 'Elf.'
Eddie Murphy
As a solo artist, Murphy had a hit single in 1985 with 'Party All the Time' (which was produced by Rick James), from his debut album, 'How Could It Be.' In 2004, VH-1 and Blender voted 'Party All the Time' number seven on their joint list of the "50 Worst Songs of All-Time." Murphy released a second album, 'Love's Alright,' in the early 1990s, and performed several songs in the 'Shrek' film franchise.
Steven Seagal
Steven Seagal's songs have been featured in several of his movies (such as 'Fire Down Below' and 'Ticker') but, in 2005, he released his first album, 'Songs from The Crystal Cave.' The soundtrack to Seagal's 2005 film 'Into the Sun' features several songs from the album. One of his album tracks, "Girl, It's Alright", was also released as a single. Seagal's second album, titled 'Mojo Priest,' was released in April 2006.
Kevin Costner
Kevin Costner as a country star? It wasn't a movie role. It was real life. In 2008, Costner and his band Modern West released a country album, 'Untold Truths.' Three singles ('Superman 14,' 'Long Hot Night' and 'Backyard') were released to radio, although none charted. A second album, entitled 'Turn It On,' was released in February 2009.

TCL > May 2001 Issue > Much Ado About Pro Bono Month in Colorado
Every May we celebrate Pro Bono Month in Colorado. There's no parade. Not even a party. So what's to celebrate?
-We celebrate the generosity of Colorado attorneys who give their time and talent to people who might otherwise have no voice in the court system.
-We celebrate the kindness of attorneys and paralegals who accept the tough cases for battered women who need the protection of a restraining order.
-We celebrate the persistence of a pro bono coordinator who has already made nine calls trying to place a difficult domestic case involving children.
-We celebrate the fact that organizations such as the Rocky Mountain Children's Law Center exist to work for the smallest and most helpless of clients: our children.
-We celebrate the big law firm that takes on the legal affairs of the little non-profit organization.
-We celebrate the small firm that works with the local school board.
-We celebrate the sole practitioner who says "yes" when the pro bono coordinator calls.
-We celebrate the independent judiciary for their application of fair and equal justice, regardless of the economic status of the litigant.
-We celebrate the court reporters who volunteer their skills at a deposition for a client who is poor and cannot pay.
-We celebrate the interpreters who assist with litigants who cannot speak English or who are hearing impaired.
-We celebrate that our state court system recognizes the pro se litigant and works to assist him or her to negotiate the paperwork necessary to file an action.
-We celebrate the law students who, in learning their profession, participate in the clinical programs at their schools to give thousands of hours of legal services to indigent clients, as well as legal research assistance to attorneys doing pro bono cases.
-We celebrate all of the good and positive things that we do as a society to uphold the concept that all people should have equal access to justice.
Maybe there should be a parade.
Access to Justice 2001
Pro bono representation of the poor is but one part of the set of cogs that turn the wheels of the American legal system. The profession is now evaluating our system to see how it can be improved. Some things work incredibly well. Let's continue to celebrate those things. Let's also celebrate the fact that we are free to examine the system and are capable of finding innovative ways to improve it.
On May 11, 2001, the Colorado Bar Association will present a one-day conference entitled "Access to Justice 2001" at the University of Denver College of Law. This conference will address the way in which the courts, private bar, and community work together and separately to provide equal access to justice to all Colorado residents. Colorado Supreme Court Chief Justice Mary J. Mullarkey will open the conference; keynote speaker will be John McKay, President of the Legal Services Corporation, from Washington, D.C.
The conference also will consider broader issues affecting our legal system, such as barriers to access to the legal system; litigants without lawyers; the roles of judges and law schools in providing access; and how to identify problems, generate solutions, and make improvements. Another topic of discussion will be pro bono. Participants will examine how to help lawyers do pro bono work effectively and how to improve the network of providers in the system.
During Pro Bono Month, we not only celebrate the things that are working well, but also the fact that our profession continually seeks to find creative and intelligent solutions to problems. The Access to Justice conference will become an annual event with the express purpose of providing a forum for the profession and the public to work together to explore options. For more information on the 2001 conference, contact Jo Ann Viola Salazar, (303) 824-5319 or (800) 332-6736.

With the next rung on their improbable journey within reach, the Rockies were searching for another savior.
In the eighth inning, with two out and two on, pinch-hitter Jeff Baker stepped into the batter's box against Phillies reliever J.C. Romero.
Baker had not played in the first two games of the series. In fact, he had never played in a postseason game.
He ended the regular season as something of a forgotten man. He was 0-for-3 in his final seven regular-season games. He hit a meek .227 during his final 15 games of the regular season. He had three pinch-hit RBIs in 46 at-bats all season.
And he certainly was one of the final players to make the club's 25-man playoff roster.
"I didn't think about all that, I never considered that," he said. "I just knew that I was a versatile player who could help out. All season, I just came to the park ready to play, whenever they called on me."
Yet on a night when Troy Tulowitzki (0-for-4), Matt Holliday (0-for-4) and Todd Helton (0-for-3) failed to get a hit, it was Baker who came through in the pinch.
"I'm very happy for Jeff," Holliday said. "It's tough to come up and pinch hit. It's one of the toughest jobs in the game, but he came through."
He punched a single to right field, chasing home Garrett Atkins from third and leading the Rockies to a 2-1 victory and a sweep of Philadelphia in a National League division series.
"I know what Jeff's been going through, but I never got that big a hit," manager Clint Hurdle said.
Next stop: Arizona and a meeting with the Diamondbacks in the NL Championship Series.
The nearly invincible Rockies have won 17 of their past 18 games, producing a different hero almost every game.
In the playoff game to get into the playoffs - a 13-inning, 9-8 over the Padres - Holliday tripled home the tying run, and then famously slid home with the winning run on Jamey Carroll's sacrifice fly to right.
In Thursday's Game 2 in Philadelphia, Kazuo Matsui's grand slam broke the Phillies. He has become such a postseason weapon, the Phillies intentional walked him in the seventh inning Saturday night.
But Saturday night belonged to Baker, a man who spent a lot of time watching from the bench this season.
He hit just .222 with four homers in 2007. That after a September to remember in 2006, when he hit .368 with five homers, seven doubles and 21 RBIs in just 18 games as a late-season call-up.
Until Saturday night, his biggest moment came on opening day, when he hit a pinch-hit homer against the Diamondbacks. The most telling point of his season was fighting back form an ugly, scary incident.
On Aug. 9, when the Cubs' Jason Marquis drilled him in the helmet with a 90-plus mph fastball, Baker stumbled off the field with a bloody towel against his face. He was taken to the hospital with a concussion and abrasions on his face. He had a CT scan taken of his head and neck.
He admitted the ordeal left him shaky. He went on the disabled list and missed 18 games. But he came back. And cold off the bench, on a cold October night, he propelled the Rockies into the next chapter of their storybook season.
Big star of the night
A closer look at the Game 3 hero, Jeff Baker:
* Selected in the fourth round of the June 2002 draft.
* On disabled list from Aug. 11-Sept. 1, with a concussion.
* Had three pinch-hit RBIs in 46 at-bats all season.
* In regular season, batted .222 with four home runs.
* Had 12 RBIs, 2 doubles, 2 triples.
* Had season-high three hits on Sept. 16th vs. Florida.

HerRoom Response: We are sorry for the confusion you experienced, but this is a molded bra meaning molds were used in production. There are no seams like a cut and sew bra. A soft cup bra is one with no underwire. In the future look for a bra with "Contour" cups in the description. We have a few contour nursing bras in our Underwire Nursing Bras section.
Amanda from Bolivar MO
Elomi Response: Kelly-
Thank you for your feedback on EL3912 Nursing bra. Due to your height, the full underwire sweep might be too tall for your frame or you may be wearing the wrong size cup. Another great Elomi nursing bra that is wire free is, Beatrice Soft Cup Nursing Bra EL8053 in 40 D-5. This style offers great support, the cup lining is a very soft cotton/modal mix, with enclosed seams. The one-handed squeeze release clasp should become more user friendly after being used a few times. Please consider referring to the Bra Fitting Advice Page to help determine if you're correct band and cups size. Due to changes in our bodies after giving birth, your size may have changed dramatically!

Inspired by gender activists in many parts of the country, married women are increasingly defying orders given to them by their husbands when the husband ultimately decides to part ways with such women.
It happens that when a man has a quarrel, minor or severe with his wife and decides to break the marriage bond, he issues a memorandum directing the woman to leave the matrimonial home and go back to her parents.
Lately, however, a large number of women assumed to be divorced, have, on being served with such notices, been ignoring them.
"When I was at one time at odds with my husband, he issued a "talaka" and handed it to me. I told him what the paper was all about and he said it implied that I was not wanted in the house any longer," said Aisha Omari, a resident of Duga Mwembeni in Tanga City.
"I asked him where he expected me to go and he told me to take the letter to my father," said the 38-year- old housewife, whose marriage to Salim Mbaraka (not real name) is blessed with three children.
Aisha said she told the husband point black that he was perhaps only day dreaming.
"I told him that I would never, never, leave the house and that if he wanted to part ways with me, he should move out and leave me with the children," revealed Aisha ,whose husband is a petty trader.
She confided to this writer that the trivial misunderstandings between the couple, notwithstanding, there were rumours that her husband wanted to marry another woman, not very far from where they lived.
"I will not leave an inch from our three roomed grass thatched house, even if he came with a bulldozer".
Aisha's case is only a drop in the sea. Gender activists and social welfare department workers testify to the fact that many women, assumed to be arbitrarily divorced, visit their institutions for advice on how to go with such serious demands.
"First, such unruly husbands should realize that the only authority which has competent jurisdiction to dissolve a marriage is the court of law," says Evelyne Mwaimu , coordinator of Women and Children Legal Aid organisation (WOLEA), an advocacy institution for women's and children's rights.
"The government, according to the Law of Marriage Act 1971, recognises three types of marriages. There is one where knots are tied by either the government, religions institutions or the traditional type," said Evelyne, adding, in circumstances where misunderstandings which are likely to lead to divorce, such authorities must be consulted.
She said normally such bodies shall try to reconcile the couples concerned and only direct them to proceed further, where the endeavours to reunite them had not succeeded.
"In one of the cases we had handled, the court ruled that the husband who had ordered his wife out of the house so he could move his unofficial wife to the matrimonial home, abstain from ordering out his legal wife and children,' said the activist.
"In fact the only privilege extended to the husband by the court was one of visiting the family whenever he wished, provided he is not accompanied by the unaccompanied by the unofficial spouse.'
Another city based gender activist, Aurelia Mtui, attributed the escalating cases of couples' separation due to economic hardships.
"In some cases where a husband finds the going tough in terms of family maintenance, he resorts to looking far an escape to part with his wife," says Mtui.
"Such people fail to realize that when couples part ways, each of the partner has, in law, the right to equal distribution of assets accrued during the couples co-habitation," she asserts.
A 12-year-old boy who migrated to the city from one of the region's villages recently said " I came to Tanga after my mother was divorced. When she died, I lived with my grandmother. But the grandpa had no food. In fact in most cases we slept on empty stomachs," said the victim of divorce.
In essence, divorce has adverse effects on the welfare and wellbeing of children of marriage which is put us under. Inevitably, the children are forced to suffer both mentally and physically.
"While it is ideal that marriage should be a lasting union, and there are various means of bringing social pressures to bear on a couple to compose their differences, the idea that it should be dissoluble only by dealth is rarely found. Divorce is often found preferable," according to an author.
Normally, marriage is dissolved when there are all indications that is has broken down irreparably- that is beyond repair.
In law, says a city based lawyer, irreparable breaking down of marriage is the ground for dissolution, meaning there are absolutely no chances of recondition between the parties.
"The effects of marriage dissolution are far reaching. Take an example of a marriage which is blessed by children. The off spring will definitely psychologically be affected by losing love and affection of either of their parents," says an educational psychologist.
"Children, especially at tender age, who normally need close attention of both parents suffer a lot. In many cases, after divorce many families disintegrate," according to a researcher.
Says a sociologist: "Psychologically, the children are affected because they are either left with one parent, relative or none at all.
These children lack important parental love and affection, consequently they grow up with a feeling that they are neglected, adding that, in effect, criminals are not born but are made by a number of factors, the up keep of our children being among them.'
Salma Majaliwa, a mother of seven children says "These days true love is absent everywhere. True love entails perseverance in anticipation of better life some day with one's chosen partner. Problems come to pass. One needs restraint in such situations.'
"There are minor cases, which can be solved amicably. I am, for example, supposed to be served by my husband. But if he has no means to support the family and I love him, I am definitely expected to step in and help him take care of the family in whatever circumstances." she narrates.

California man arrested for soliciting sex with Anne Arundel County minor
ANNE ARUNDEL COUNTY, Md: - Anne Arundel County Police have arrested a California man for inquiring to have sex with a minor.
The investigation started in March when the father of the victim learned his daughter was communicating with an adult male.
Through interviews and forensic examinations of electronic devices, detectives learned the adult male had been communicating with the victim for two years.
Evidence recovered indicated the adult male was aware he was having conversations with a 13-year-old female child and continued this pattern of behavior for two years.
During the conversations, the suspect solicited the child victim to send him sexually explicit videos and photographs, which she did.
Detectives learned the adult male suspect was from California and was making arrangements to fly to Maryland in the beginning of April to meet the victim.
The suspect had booked a hotel room in the Annapolis area in order to engage in sexual relations with the child victim. This meeting between the suspect and the victim never happened due to the ongoing police investigation.
Detectives were able to positively identify the adult male suspect as 25-year-old Murray Lee Chesak of Ontario, California.
Detectives obtained an arrest warrant charging Chesak with sexual interaction with a minor.
On May 28, 2014, Chesak was arrested with law enforcement authorities in California. The suspect is currently incarcerated in the West Valley Detention Center in Rancho Cucamonga, California, awaiting extradition to Anne Arundel County Maryland.
Please consider the following information as it pertains to minors on Internet/Social Media sites:
- Make sure your child's computer is placed in a family area.
- Make sure your child's IM screen name doesn't reveal any identifying information about a child especially things like a name, age, location, year of birth, school name, and year of graduation as Internet predators often use screen names to select their potential targets.
- If you don't know how to work a computer, have your child show you how. Tell them to show you which sites are some good informational sites, and where they surf the web.
- Ask your child if they have pictures on their Facebook page or on other social media sites. You can either tell your child to remove all pictures and personal information (address, school, age, etc.) or have he/she set their account to private. For teens, setting their account to private will allow them to keep their web page without soliciting personal information. If set to private, only their friends can see their profile. Also make sure that people on their friends list are only friends they have met and are close with.

AMD Enlists Ben Heck to Build Rocket Launching Desktop PCby Anand Lal Shimpi on March 5, 2013 9:08 PM EST
- Posted in
- CPUs
- Cases/Cooling/PSUs
In preparation for its presence at SXSW Interactive, AMD enlisted the help of famed modder Benjamin Heckendorn to build a bunch of unique PCs. Traditionally, AMD would just show a bunch of notebook and PC designs available in the market but this year it wanted something a bit more exciting. None of the designs will be sold or available, they are just intended to build interest in the PC and modding communities.
Ben was instructed to hop on eBay, buy a handful of outrageous things and build computers out of them. Among the projects are an Android controlled MP3 player PC built into a gas pump, a Pimp Hat PC, a PC built into a fighter pilot helmet, and a PC built into a small model of the Mystery Machine from Scooby Doo.
I had the opportunity of playing with one of the PCs that'll be on display at SXSWi this week: a mini-ITX based system capable of launching model rockets. AMD allegedly went to Ben and requested that he "build a computer that could launch rockets". And this is what he came up with:
The system is running Windows 7 and features an AMD A10-5700 on a MSI FM2-A75IA-E53. There's only a single Crucial 128GB m4 SSD inside as well as a small power supply. The mini-ITX internals leave tons of room for the two rocket silos.
The silo hatches are driven by two servos and can be opened independently. Controls on the opposite side of the PC allow you to open the hatches independently, as well as prep the rockets for launch. Select the rocket(s) you want to launch, hit the giant start button and watch the countdown go. It starts at 10 seconds, at 6 seconds the first bay opens up, at 5 seconds the second opens, and then at 0 the two launch with a quarter of a second delay between the two.
All of the switches have a solid, almost industrial, feel to them. The launch electronics all worked flawlessly with no bugs...thankfully.
Ben built a custom PCB to drive all of the launch control electronics. The timer as well as the launch control state machine are all driven by Ben's work, rather than by the PC itself. Rockets are ignited by a pair of MOSFETS pulling current from the main PSU's 12V rail. You simply attach alligator clips to the leads of your igniters and you're ready to go. Ben did a good explanation of what it took to build this system on his show a little while ago.
The chassis itself is built from high density PVC foam, with the exception of the base which is aluminum and engraving plastic on the front. The switches were purchased but all of the panels were laser etched by Ben himself.
The system works as a PC, and although you wouldn't want to launch rockets indoors, it is functional in that capacity as well:
I'll apologize in advance for not having great footage of the rocket post launch. It's been a while since I launched a model rocket and I apparently had forgotten just how fast/high these things go. I needed a far more serious lens to follow the rocket than I had on hand. Needless to say, the system launched rockets just fine.
Admittedly I've never been one for serious case modding, but I do have to say that the end result is pretty impressive. You can argue about the functionality of being able to launch rockets from your PC, but the execution is neat. This was more of a novelty mod but some of the most interesting mods are those that enable new functionality or put PCs into areas/roles never thought possible. Ben's work on getting the Xbox 360 into a laptop is an example of such a thing. Given how powerful (and power efficient) PC hardware is these days, I'd like to see the reverse done - a mod to make a PC better approximate a gaming console.
If you're going to be in Austin for SXSW this week want to come by and check out the Rocket PC (and others) for yourself head on over here to register for AMD's Technograffiti event. Registration is free, and the event takes place March 7th (this Thursday) at 7:30PM.
Check out photos of the Rocket PC as well as some of the other Ben Heck mods in the gallery below.

Days arise upon which our personal existences rest. Our birthdays are an obvious example. In my case, today is another. Forty-nine years ago my parents Joseph and Theresa "Terri" wed.
From their blessed union, three sons, a daughter, and I would be conceived in the following decade.
In Jan. 2009, I spoke with my parents about how they found each other, which apparently was at a regular Catholic young adult gathering across the street from St. John's Cathedral in Fresno around Nov. 1962.
"That was officially where I had enough nerve to approach her (and ask), 'Didn't I see you? We met before'," my father recalled, "She probably thought that was a lot of…"

Have your New Year's resolutions already disappeared like that bottle of champagne on New Year's Eve? Did your goals of living healthier by drinking less, exercising more and eating better fall by the wayside after you recovered from your first hangover of 2015? You're definitely not alone.
Do you ever play golf? If so, you most certainly know about mulligans. Since your first attempt barely made it out of the tee box, let's go ahead and take a resolution mulligan to focus some time and energy on helping create a healthier environment and planet!
Here's a list of ten ways to go green that will contribute to a healthier environment, a healthier planet and, indirectly, improve your health.
- Use Your Feet – We've heard for years how emissions from our cars are damaging the environment. Pledge to leave your car parked whenever you can and take an alternate form of transportation like a bicycle, skateboard or even your own two feet. Your actions will contribute to both a healthier environment and a healthier you!
- Storage Smarts – Replace plastic kitchen storage and cooking items with glass or stainless steel ones. And of course, recycle your old ones instead of throwing them in the trash.
- Buy Big – When doing your grocery shopping, purchase food both in bulk and in recyclable containers (as little material as possible). Then store those items in your new eco-friendly containers mentioned in tip number 2.
- Eco-Eats – Whenever possible, purchase food grown locally and fresh to reduce transportation and packaging. Better yet, grow your own produce in a garden using your own compost. On top of the environmental benefits, gardening is relaxing and provides exercise.
- Strip Down – Focus on using less energy by using power strips. Not only can power strips provide surge protection for your electronics, but it also makes turning off multiple energy-using items easier. When you leave your home or go to bed at night, make it a point to power down and make that task easier with power strips.
- Go with the Flow – Want a healthier bank account and planet? Install low-flow toilets, low-flow shower heads and faucet aerators in your home. You'll conserve water and you'll save on monthly water bills.
- Take a Trip – The point here is not to just travel but instead, to resolve to travel smartly. Whether it is a business trip or a family vacation, think of ways to reduce your carbon footprint. Take a non-stop flight or travel by train, stay in an environmentally-friendly hotel, look into public transportation options: Go green on your trips by taking a little time to do some research and planning first.
- Go Postal – I'd be willing to bet that almost every single person reading this would be glad to never see another piece of junk mail. Save a tree and save your sanity by stopping junk mail from reaching your mailbox in 2015.
- Go Mobile – Are you planning on buying a new smartphone, tablet or other mobile device in 2015? Save money by purchasing used, refurbished mobile device. Make money by selling your used iPhone, Android-powered smartphone or wireless tablet to a company like Gazelle.com. It's a win for you and win for Mother Nature.
- Be in Charge – Speaking of mobile devices, one step you can take to save energy and be environmentally-friendly in 2015 is to buy yourself a solar charger kit to power up your smartphone, laptop, iPad and other devices. And since the power company hasn't figured out how to charge us for energy from the sun yet, you can save money on your power bill as well.
So there you have it – ten tips for going green in 2015. These are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to making smart, environmentally-friendly changes to our daily lives. And if going green isn't exactly your cup of green tea yet, I'd be willing to bet that you'll search for more ways to go green in 2015 and beyond once you see how you can save money and become healthier by living an environmentally-friendly lifestyle.

Reviews for
Froggy's First Kiss
Horn Book Guide Reviews 1998
It's the week before Valentine's Day, and Froggy has a crush on Frogilina, Copyright 1998 Horn Book Guide Reviews
School Library Journal Reviews 1998 March
London's fifth title in this popular series is another winner. Froggy falls in love with Frogilina, who reciprocates with adoring glances and treats from her lunchbox. But when she gives him an actual "big juicy..KISS! Smack on his cheek!" Froggy retreats. He's mortified by the taunts of "Froggy has a girlfriend," and is not ready after all for the romance that had seemed so exciting. The story closes as he gives the Valentine he'd made for Frogilina to his mother. This book is emotionally right on target for nursery school and primary-grade audiences, lightly capturing the tension between wanting to grow up and still needing the comfort and safety of childhood. The narrative is smoothly written with rhythmic language and the repetition that young children love. Remkiewicz's simple and colorful cartoon watercolors add just the right touch of humor and verve. A great read-aloud for Valentine's Day, or whenever love is in the air. Copyright 1998 School Library Journal

Neat idea, looks nice.
Generally when I make a map it is to satisfy the needs of the current campaign I'm running. This one is no different. I'm not much of an artist and I usually only have the spare time to make a map during downtime at work. So, my previous maps were done in MS Paint.
This time I needed to make some maps for a modern campaign I'm running. The characters are making their way back home to South Carolina after trekking across the US during the aftermath of WWIII. They've been dodging fallout, biological and chemical weapons, and the Reds.
Finally they arrive in their home state to find that their families had evacuated to Asheville NC before the bombs fell but there's a couple divisions of commies in between them and their families.
Since I like to let the players decide how the game will progress, I need to give them a map showing them their best intel on the surroundings.
So, I'm at work and I don't have Photoshop, but I do have Internet access, MS Paint, and MS Publisher. Here's what I came up with. (Check the PDF it looks better.)
The background is pieced together from a few print screens of Google Maps in Terrain mode, the icons are MS Arial Unicode characters, U+2623, U+2622, and U+262D with some Wordart effects on them and in the case of the Biohazard and Radiation warning symbols they have a Triangle and Circle behind them to create a backing. (There's lots of great symbols in Unicode like a coffin U+26B0, all the chess pieces, and lots more.)
Maps encourage boldness. They're like cryptic love letters. They make anything seem possible.

Looks good and usable- I did something similar for a V&V campaign (which I never ran) using Cleveland maps from Yahoo or Mapquest or some such, and layered on graphics and renamed streets to make a "Lakefront City"...
I've used things like that, imported into Paint and erased/added bits.
How do you call up those unicode symbols?
Mapping a Traveller ATU.
See my (fantasy-based) apprenticeship blog at:
Look for Chit Chat, Sandmann's blog. Enjoy.
You can get the Unicode symbols using the utility called "Character Map" in the Accessories -> System Tools menu on most Windows systems. I would expect that other OSs have a similar utility. Click the "Advanced View" check box on the bottom, make sure you have a font that specifically says that it's a Unicode font and then type in the ID of the Unicode character you are looking for in the "Go to Unicode" box. Or you can just browse through the "Subranges" in the Unicode standard by selecting "Group by" and selecting "Unicode Subrange" and then navigating the additional window that pops up. Alternatively you can search online for the Unicode symbol you want and cut and paste it in.
Maps encourage boldness. They're like cryptic love letters. They make anything seem possible.

DRY Soda
We are inspired by DRY Soda company headquartered in Seattle, WA. The image above of their workspace depicts a bright, light-filled environment that has been stripped of unnecessary ornamentation, much like the product they produce. DRY Soda's founder Sharelle Klaus set out in 2005 to create a soda that was less sweet, allowing the natural flavors to come through. She produced batch after batch of soda in her kitchen until she settled on the perfect flavors : Lavender, Kumquat, Lemongrass and Rhubarb. Since then, the line has grown to include Juniper Berry, Vanilla Bean, Wild Lime and my personal favorite, Cucumber. The flavors are designed to be paired with food but are equally refreshing solo on a hot summer day, or as many DRY Soda enthusiasts have discovered, as a cocktail mixer.
DRY Soda's headquarters are located in the Historic Pioneer Square neighborhood. Attached to the workspace, they've created a tasting room where you are invited to stop in and sample the unique flavor profiles, perhaps picking up a few four-packs to go!
We think we have a special kinship with DRY Soda – we're both in the business of re-inventing classic products for modern lifestyles. What could be more classic than carpet and soda! We couldn't have been more thrilled to see FLOR tiles at work throughout their inspiring space. DRY says that they love having FLOR tiles as it align's with DRY's values of employing sustainable business practices and using sustainably sourced products when possible. They also love the flexibility of swapping out tiles as needed – the Tasting Room gets thousands of visitors every year.
Their award winning packaging was created by the Seattle based firm Turnstyle. Interested in giving DRY Soda a try? Well, if you are near any of our retail locations, we invite you to stop by on August 30th when we will be hosting a local designer(s) whose work incorporates the use of pattern – think textiles, wallpaper, products and more! DRY Soda has generously co-sponsored these events and you are all invited to join in on the fun (more details here).

For Emergency Response Dial 9-1-1
To Report a Non-Emergency Crime Dial 456-2233
On September 21, 2012, at about 1:30 a.m., Deputy Dan Knight was patrolling in Medical Lake when he saw a black and pink backpack lying on the corner at Spence St. and Bower St. There was also a silver colored Nokia cell phone lying on the road. Deputy
Knight looked west on Spence St. and could see papers in the roadway. Deputy Knight followed the trail westbound to Washington St. where he saw more papers and books in the street. Deputy Knight looked at a vehicle in the driveway near the 200 block of North
Washington St. and saw the sedans front driver's side door was open. Deputy Knight contacted the homeowner who confirmed all the papers, the back pack, phone and books all belonged to her. She said they had been in her unlocked vehicle.
Additional deputies and an Airway Heights Officer responded to search the area. Officer Suniga from Airway Heights P.D. was contacted by a male and female who said their three kids were out running around. While Deputy Knight responded to meet with the parents,
Officer Suniga advised he had located two of the three juvenile males the parents were looking for.
Deputy Knight was speaking with the two juveniles and their parents, confirming the kids had been breaking into cars and stealing items. At about that time Deputy Knight looked towards Silver Lake Road and saw a male jump over a fence into a backyard. Other
deputies located the individual who was the third missing member.
One of the suspects told Deputy Knight he would take him to all the locations they committed crimes. He told Deputy Knight they had stolen a gun from the yard of one of their victims and had hid it under their bed. Deputy Knight later found the gun under the
bed. It was a fake gun not capable of firing ammunition. The investigation is on-going and there are possibly additional victims. If you live in the Medical Lake area and have been a victim of any type of crime over this past weekend you are asked to report
it to Crime Check at 509-456-2233.
All three juvenile males were booked into Juvenile for one count each of Vehicle Prowling 2nd Degree Possession of Stolen Property 3rd Degree. Additional charges are possible as the investigation continues.

Finally, after numerous days that the Oregon State football team was forced to practice indoors, some comfortable spring weather came calling Friday afternoon. With the sun out and players looking to hit somebody, the Beavers, with help from some referees, held their second scrimmage in as many weeks. The offense had its moments, moving the football down field but struggling to find the end zone thanks to a very stingy defense. Thankfully, the OSU air attack got them over the line for a few scores, and the quarterbacks started to show signs of growth. Here is what I witnessed on Friday afternoon: ...More...

Taoism: The Enduring Tradition
Routledge, 2004 - History - 282 pages
"From Taoism's spiritual philosophy to its practical perspectives on life and death, self-cultivation, morality, society, leadership, and gender, Russell Kirkland brings to life the Taoist vision as expressed by followers through the centuries. Through attention to Taoism's key elements and examples from the lives of Taoist men and women, he reveals the real contexts of the Tao te ching and Chuang-tzu, and of Taoist understandings of life which still reverberate in modern practices such as feng-shui and t'ai-chi ch'uan. His guide to this long misrepresented tradition presents a new paradigm for understanding Taoism in the twenty-first century."--BOOK JACKET.
