Working to make the world a more hopeful and sustainable place can mean having to confront trauma head-on, day in and day out. Over months and years this takes an enormous toll, one that we're often not even fully aware of until the day we feel like we just can't go on any more. And the work is too important to risk that happening.In Trauma Stewardship, Laura van Dernoot Lipsky, takes a deep and sympathetic look at the many ways the stress of dealing with trauma manifests itself, and offers a variety of simple and profound practices, drawn from modern psychology and a range of spiritual traditions, which enable us to look carefully at our reactions and motivations and discover new sources of energy and renewal. She includes interviews with successful trauma stewards from different walks of life and even uses New Yorker cartoons to playfully illustrate her points.

When Avalanche captain Joe Sakic walked into an NHL dressing room for the first time, in 1987, Ronald Reagan was president and Peter Stastny was still a big star with the Quebec Nordiques. Reagan has passed on, Stastny has long since retired, and on Friday, his son, Paul, walked into an NHL dressing room for the first time.
Among Paul Stastny's new teammates in that room was Sakic, whose 18 seasons with the Nordiques and Avalanche make him the NHL's longest-tenured active player with the same franchise. Sakic is the first to joke that this designation makes him "old." But in the next breath, he talks with pride about being the last of a dying breed in pro sports: the player who stays from beginning to end with the same team.
"You know what? It's an honor," said Sakic, the Avalanche's all-time leading scorer with 574 goals and 1,489 points in 1,237 games. "It means you've been around for a long time, and that's a good thing."
When Steve Yzerman and Mario Lemieux retired after last season, Sakic assumed the role of the NHL's longest-tenured player. This weekend marked Sakic's 19th NHL training camp (he missed one because of the 2004-05 lockout), the first of which was with Quebec.
"The Canada Cup (tournament) was there (that year) and Canada had just won, and I remember seeing Michel Goulet come in the dressing room. Media were swarming him, and that's when I realized, 'You're in the big leagues now,"' Sakic said.
Sakic was sent back to Swift Current of the Western Hockey League after the 1987 camp, but made the Nordiques the next season and never looked back.
Paul Stastny grew up primarily in St. Louis, after his father was traded there by the Nordiques. Now father and son have a common thread in the NHL: Sakic.
"He's a great guy and one of the best players of all time," Paul Stastny said. "It is a little hard to believe that I get to play with him, too, like my father."
Sakic, 37, said he feels good entering another season. Avs coach Joel Quenneville said Saturday that Sakic "was flying out there" after two days of practice.
"I'm excited," Sakic said. "Last year, being injury-free for the whole year, you don't have to deal with anything in the summer. You can just relax and do your normal routine."
Sakic knows some believe this could be a down season for the Avs, possibly missing the playoffs for the first time since moving to Denver from Quebec after the 1994-95 campaign. After losing Peter Forsberg and Adam Foote in summer 2005, the Avs are now playing without Rob Blake (signed as a free agent by the Los Angeles Kings) and Alex Tanguay (traded to Calgary).
"It was like that last year a little bit, people doubting us," Sakic said. "But it's how you come together as a team, and we're going to have a lot of guys that surprise people. We're going to have a good, exciting team again. We've got to try to jell quickly, because we've got a lot of new faces. We're going to work on that in training camp."
The rules changes that led to increased scoring in the NHL have fully rejuvenated Sakic's spirit for the game. He's taking it one year at a time at this point in his career, but could play several more seasons.
"The game last year was great, and the playoffs were exciting, up-and-down hockey," he said. "I don't think we're tinkering with too many rules now, and so there won't be an adjustment period for anybody. It's going to take off right away, and the game is going in a great direction."

Paparazzi wait for Flatley at hospital
Film crews and photographers wait outside Cork University Maternity Hospital yesterday for a shot of Michael Flatley. His wife Niamh gave birth to a bouncing baby boy that morning in the hospital. Apparently Flatley gave a 5 figure donation to the hospital. Nurses I spoke to wondered where it went..
OK, maybe the people pictured are TV3, RTE news and a couple of photographers for the local paper but it's not often one sees them about and in one place. I was busy helping Jacinta and Adam into the car and we weren't about to stop and hang about. I told the reporters I had no comments to make except that Adam was in great form and that he and his mom were coming home.
I saw Michael Flatley on TV later and he was beaming! 🙂
It's a boy!
Please welcome the newest member of the O Caoimh clann! Adam was born this morning at 5:51am and we couldn't be happier!
Now I'm off to bed, I've had 4 hours sleep in the last 2 days.
Watching the fish underwater in Lanzarote
A young boy watches fish swim past on a boat off the coast of Lanzarote in the Canary Islands. The boat's staff threw food overboard for the fish while the passengers went below decks to watch from the observation windows. As it was the start of the season in May, the boat was nowhere near full and everyone got a good look at the marine life swimming past.
This is the first picture I've posted from our honeymoon in Lanzarote last year. I took so many photos it's daunting to look through them and pick out the ones I want to publish.
The Importance of Being Earnest
I wasn't sure what to expect when I decided to take in a bit of culture and go see "The Importance of Being Earnest" performed by Chattyboo Productions at Cork Arts Theatre. Frank Prendergast has a leading role in the play and he blogged about it a few days ago, but I didn't know anything about Oscar Wilde. I expected a stuffy Victorian period drama along the lines of many popular movies I've seen. Little did I know the comedic gem that was lying in wait.
I won't give anything away about the story, except to say that it has a perfect mix of love, humour, twists and scoundrels. We spent the whole time either laughing or engrossed in the twists and characters of the plot.
Unfortunately the play finishes on Saturday so you only have a few more days to enjoy this wonderful experience! Check out Frank's post for an audio clip, and go book your tickets by ringing the Cork Arts Theatre at 021-4505624.
Lots more photos after the jump…
Caution Children
A sign at the entrance to my estate warns motorists to watch out for children playing on the street.
Just to prove that you don't need a big digital SLR to take interesting photos, this was taken with my Panasonic FZ5. I saw the great cloudscape in the sky and illuminated the sign with the onboard flash.
Wet Wellow Web
Early in the morning dew coats everything and water droplets on spider webs glisten in the rising sun.
I'm not sure where this was taken, it was probably somewhere in Blarney but it was taken with my Panasonic FZ5 last September and I only copied it off a few days ago!

I was a teenager then, so of course I decided to make a new account. I'm getting back into Advance rom hacking, because Advance was my favourite generation and still is.

swimming in this jacket!
I have a 5 year old who is big for his age and a 7 year old who is tiny. This jacket fit neither of them. It was HUGE! Fabric is very nice. Might be good for a tall, lanky 8 year old...
Excellent Suit
This is the fourth Ferrecci Boys' suit that I have purchased from Overstock. I love the fact that the pants can be tailored to my son's length. The quality is excellent; much better than suits I would purchase from department stores at a greater price.

From this week's review of the Silver Fork:
"If ever I was asked to location scout for Quentin Tarantino, the Silver Fork is where I'd bring him.
'Dude,' I'd say. 'No, dude, for serious...' And we'd go there for breakfast, early on a Sunday, in the swinging lull between early-early church service and the regular flood of parishioners rolling in all fresh and lively and sweating with the fever of the Word. Men in stack-heeled shoes and wide-shouldered suits, women in hats and pearls, children in their Sunday bests--still ripe with the threat of damnation and tamping it down with pancakes.
Quentin and me would sit--prime seats for the big show--in one of the giant corner booths, up against the glass, the windows that wrap completely around two sides of the place. This is where I'd take him because the Silver Fork is right in his Pulp Fiction/Reservoir Dogs sweet spot: a perfectly preserved slab of classic Americana, virtually untouched for generations, un-prettied, never tarted up or draped in unnecessary airs. It is a diner, as purestrain as they come, with short hours, a simple menu and a galley kitchen with a single, long pass window and a wheel on which the dupes are forever spinning.
I'd point to the fish-tank windows, the booth-back upholstery--gray over maroon--like the seats in a late-model Chevelle hardtop, less than lovingly tended, and the dark, cold electric sign moldering slowly in the pissy rain.
I'd tell Quentin, 'Brother, this is it,' because the Silver Fork has an indomitable soul that no set, no matter how lovingly rendered, would ever capture."You listening, Quentin? I've got a lot of reasons why I'd like to buy you breakfast, but now I also have the perfect place for us to go. So, you know. If you ever find yourself in Seattle...
This week's review is basically just a love letter to one of Seattle's classic addresses--a diner and breakfast bar that's been up and running for more than two decades, a perfect place for a quiet breakfast on a Tuesday morning or a loud one on Sunday when church is letting out.
It's a great place--sweet and soulful and full of Southern hospitality. And you can read all about it tomorrow when the new issue hits the stands. So until then, remember what Jules says:
"Hamburgers. The cornerstone of any nutritious breakfast."

Up until I had DS, i thought we were foing to fully vaccinate, up until his 3 month appointment that is. We were preparing for it and I received a list of recommended vaccines from our doctor. I had this HORRIBLE feeling in the pit of my stomach about these recommendations. I just couldnt shake rhe feeling that something would go drastically wrong. Upon further research, we opted out of the Rotavirus and Prevnar. After making this decision, this horrible dissipated, almost immediately. I was berated and made to feel like I was failing to meet my son's medical needs but I stood my ground.
My son came down with something around 6 months; high fever with no other symptoms and they could not figure out what was wrong. Again, I was berated. They were positive it was pneumonia because we opted out of that vax. We saw several doctors that week throughout the practice and it was all the same. "Well, if we were dealing with a fully immunized child, I wouldn't be quite so worried" or "because we are dealing with a child that is under immunized." you get the idea. Furthermore, they ordered all of these awful blood draws because of this and I was made to feel like an awful mother because my son was having to endure these procedures due to my vaccination choice. It ended up being Roseola and all is fine.
We kind of decided to only give the vaxes that we had as children, which would include the MMR. However, now I am having second thoughts. I just have that "feeling" again that he should not get it. I can't explain it but it's definitely there. I know our doctor will not support this decision but if he gets it at all, I would like to delay it until he is 2. I already feel like I failed him by allowing him to be vaccinated for Hep B in the hospital but I wasn't prepared, as I didn't know a sexually transmitted blood disease vaccination was going to be recommended for newborns (sigh). I feel like our ped office is going to fire us, which is fine. I'm not attached to anyone there. I am dreading this though! It's literally a battle every time I go in there about this issue!
I'm not sure what I'm looking for here....maybe some support or experiences of others opting out of MMR. The doctors make me feel like he will contract all of these illnesses immediately after leaving due to my decision.
If you made it this far, I thank you. Any comments, concerns or support is greatly appreciated.

The .exe extension on a filename indicates an executable file. Executable files may, in some cases, harm your computer. Therefore, please read below to decide for yourself whether the Mixer.exe on your computer is a Trojan that you should remove, or whether it is a file belonging to the Windows operating system or to a trusted application.
The process known as Mixer or mixer belongs to software PCI Audio Applications by C-Media Electronic Inc. (www.cmedia.com.tw) (www.cmedia.com.tw) or C-Media Electronic or MS.
Description: Mixer.exe is not essential for Windows and will often cause problems. Mixer.exe is located in the C:\Windows folder (mostly C:\Windows\ or C:\Program Files\PCI Audio Applications\).
Known file sizes on Windows 10/8/7/XP are 1,818,624 bytes (42% of all occurrences), 1,581,056 bytes and 10 more variants.
There is no file information. It is not a Windows core file. The process starts upon Windows startup (see Registry key: MACHINE\Run). The program is not visible. It is located in the Windows folder, but it is not a Windows core file. Mixer.exe is able to record keyboard and mouse inputs. Therefore the technical security rating is 38% dangerous; however you should also read the user reviews.
Recommended: Identify Mixer.exe related errors
If Mixer.exe is located in a subfolder of "C:\Program Files", the security rating is 37% dangerous. The file size is 98,304 bytes (40% of all occurrences), 1,216,512 bytes, 1,077,248 bytes or 655,360 bytes. There is no file information. The file is not a Windows system file. The program has no visible window. Mixer.exe is able to record keyboard and mouse inputs.
If Mixer.exe is located in the C:\Windows\System32 folder, the security rating is 70% dangerous. The file size is 452,608 bytes. There is no file information. The program is not visible. It is located in the Windows folder, but it is not a Windows core file. The application starts when Windows starts (see Registry key: MACHINE\Run). It is not a Windows system file.
External information from Paul Collins:
There are different files with the same name:
Important: Some malware disguises itself as Mixer.exe, particularly when not located in the C:\Windows folder. Therefore, you should check the Mixer.exe process on your PC to see if it is a threat. We recommend Security Task Manager for verifying your computer's security. This was one of the Top Download Picks of The Washington Post and PC World.
Summary: Average user rating of Mixer.exe: based on 32 votes with 25 user comments. 9 users think Mixer.exe is essential for Windows or an installed application. 2 users think it's probably harmless. 14 users think it's neither essential nor dangerous. 4 users suspect danger. 3 users think Mixer.exe is dangerous and recommend removing it. 4 users don't grade Mixer.exe ("not sure about it").
A clean and tidy computer is the key requirement for avoiding problems with Mixer. This means running a scan for malware, cleaning your hard drive using cleanmgr and sfc /scannow, uninstalling programs that you no longer need, checking for Autostart programs (using msconfig) and enabling Windows' Automatic Update. Always remember to perform periodic backups, or at least to set restore points.
Should you experience an actual problem, try to recall the last thing you did, or the last thing you installed before the problem appeared for the first time. Use the resmon command to identify the processes that are causing your problem. Even for serious problems, rather than reinstalling Windows, you are better off repairing of your installation or, for Windows 8 and later versions, executing the DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth command. This allows you to repair the operating system without losing data.
To help you analyze the Mixer.exe process on your computer, the following programs have proven to be helpful: Security Task Manager displays all running Windows tasks, including embedded hidden processes, such as keyboard and browser monitoring or Autostart entries. A unique security risk rating indicates the likelihood of the process being potential spyware, malware or a Trojan. Malwarebytes Anti-Malware detects and removes sleeping spyware, adware, Trojans, keyloggers, malware and trackers from your hard drive.

Just because I am dead
does not mean I am an angel
If anything,
I am far from that of an angel.
The evil men,
who kill and rape and burn for fun
shall pay for their crimes
even if I go to hell for it.
The crow shall be my guide
and my connection
to be able to make my mark
on the world that has left me behind.
I may have died
but death does not stop me
I shall stop for death
when I am ready.
For while time goes on
and the world forgets
true love is the only thing
that lasts forever.
Vengence is a welcomed thing
that stays in the heart
festering and tainting what was once pure
and slowly killing.
I died for the one I love
but death does not stop me.
For life is but a dream
that death wakes us up from.
100 Theme Challenge #48: Return.
Inspired and based on my favorite movie of all time The Crow. It's a great movie.
Inspired and based on my favorite movie of all time The Crow. It's a great movie.

Like most good stories, the tale of how Jack Evans came to D.C. involves a girl. The son of a florist and a teacher, he'd grown up in Nanticoke, Pa. With degrees from the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania and the University of Pittsburgh School of Law, he landed a Beltway job with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. On a date, a woman mocked his choice of residence: "Shirlington—that's suburban death."
"I said, 'I'll never get a date if I live in suburban death,'" Evans says. So he bought a condo in Dupont Circle. Before long, he was involved in local politics. He helped found the Ward 2 Democrats and served as treasurer on the Democratic State Committee. After serving as an ANC commissioner, Evans ran in a special election for the council in 1991. Running on a platform of trimming city government, Evans won by only 400 votes, beating Jim Zais, a former Marion Barry aide who hoped to be the first openly gay councilmember.
In light of Evans' current reputation of the champion of development, one aspect of that first race stands out. "We're not going to accept money from large-scale developers who have dominated the political scene," Evans told the Post during his campaign. On election night, he said his victory "completed the revolution" that began when Sharon Pratt took over from Barry the year before. "[Voters] thought I was a fresh face. That's what they really want."
Twenty years on, Evans doesn't claim to be either a fresh face or a foe of developers. At his reelection kickoff party Monday, he joked how he'd gone from the candidate of "youth, energy, and change" to "common sense, wisdom, and experience." In an interview, he complains about being unfairly typecast as big builders' puppet.
But even supporters say Evans' views have changed. "I think he's evolved, is how I would say it," says Linda Greenan, Evans' first chief of staff, who currently represents Georgetown University. "He has kind of walked that line of understanding the benefit of development, but with controls."
And Evans certainly isn't shy about showing off the benefits brought by development—and by Jack Evans—when we hop into his spotless Sebring for a Ward 2 tour.
First stop: Verizon Center. "Clearly I was the major player in getting the Verizon Center downtown," Evans says.
We pass the convention center. "You can't mention the convention center without saying my name," he adds. (In fact, the building is named for former D.C. Mayor Walter E. Washington.)
As we drive, we briefly talk about Evans' term as Metro Board of Directors chairman in the mid-'90s. "It was working pretty well when I was the chairman," says Evans, referring to the system's current troubles. "My contribution was to get the system built and up and running."
We head into Shaw, where Evans promptly takes credit for a variety of structures, including the beautiful Watha T. Daniel/Shaw branch library. Over the years, Evans has occasionally received flak for allegedly not doting on the ward's poorest neighborhood, which will soon be redistricted out of Ward 2. Evans says he feels like he's devoted more time to Shaw than anywhere else.
Next it's on to Logan Circle. Evans extols his work changing a liquor law, which enabled the opening of the neighborhood-changing P Street Whole Foods. "You have to have a councilmember whose been here, who understands how to change the law, [and] to get the votes to change the law," he says.
The sites keep coming. There's the dog park on 17th Street: "We were absolutely responsible for getting that built." The renovations of the Jewish Community Center: "Majorly responsible." And the 15th street bike lane: You can thank Jack Evans for that, too.
Then it's on to Georgetown, where Evans' house backs up to the Bowie-Sevier mansion, one of D.C.'s most expensive homes. We pass his favorite restaurant, Café Milano. Evans tells me how "run down" Georgetown's sidewalks and streetscapes were when he was first elected. "It was a mess," Evans says, until he came along.
Evans knows that he's not solely responsible for any single project, but says it's still fair for him to make what I would learn is one of his favorite declarations: "But for me, this wouldn't have gotten done."
There aren't too many people arguing. Colleagues describe Evans as a tenacious, focused, and effective legislator who knows how to find the money and the votes to get developers moving. "He's just somebody you want to have on your side and you don't want to have on the other side," says former Ward 3 Councilmember Kathy Patterson. "He's a pro," says Wells, who's known as a big-business skeptic and says he was initially wary of Evans.
Besides the business of building big buildings, Evans has carved out a role as the council's fiscal hawk. During Williams' first term, Evans put together a super majority to lower income taxes against the wishes of the mayor and the financial control board. "He is the champion we could always count on," says Barbara Lang, president and CEO of the D.C. Chamber of Commerce.
Lang's members show their love in return. Evans has raised millions in his twenty years in office, much of it via bundled donations from developers and business interests.
For instance, the Post reported that the owners of the city's biggest road paving company, Fort Myer Construction, were among the biggest financial backers of Evans' failed mayoral bid, donating $17,000. And in his most recent race Evans has already collected $6,000 from a single real estate firm, via $500 donations from 12 different LLCs.
(Evans' campaign finance forms are a testament to how easy it is to legally get around the District's $500 donation limits. Donors use multiple LLCs and family members to boost giving totals.)
Evans' embrace of the business community doesn't mean he's necessarily consistent on fiscal policy. He called himself the "king of earmarks," and wasn't shy about shoveling money to pet causes before the council banned the practice. In 2008, Evans helped secure $500,000 for the Greater Washington Sports Alliance, a nonprofit that organized the national marathon, paid its CEO $415,278—and staged a fundraiser for, you guessed it, Evans. And though Evans continually speaks out about the growth of social services spending, he says most of his earmarks were for arts groups. "This city has enough money to do that," he adds.
No one ever said that combining a reputation as a dealmaker and a fiscal hawk was easy.
"There are two people on the city council who make things happen," Miller says. "One's Jack and the other's Marion Barry."

How Tim Burton, Joel Schumacher and McDonald's Took a Visionary Approach to Batman

Part of the appeal of Christopher Nolan's Batman films is that the basic conceit informing their aesthetic seems so natural. Batman is one of few major superheroes that isn't actually a super-hero.

Co-directors Valerie Faris and Jonathan Dayton are so smart, so dedicated, so creative, and so purely delightful that I found it hard to believe they are so good at showing us dysfunctional characters. Their new film, "Ruby Sparks," written by and starring Zoe Kazan, also stars Paul Dano, who played the sworn-to-silence teenager in their first hit, "Little Miss Sunshine." In this film, Dano plays a depressed author who has been unable to write following his very successful first book. Prompted by his therapist, he creates an effervescent female character so vivid that she literally comes to life. Faris and Dayton finish each other's sentences, not interrupting each other, just a seamless flow of love, laughter, and ideas.
Dayton: We knew Paul and we met Paul was he was…what, 18?
Faris: First time we met him he was 18, an audition…
Dayton: And, we were trying to get "Little Miss Sunshine" off the ground and it took us so long to get that movie made and we were worried, oh my God, he's going to be too old, and we knew he was such a great actor.
Faris: Such a special actor.
Dayton: We stayed friends and we met Zoe and Paul started dating her. And so when they came to us with a project with the two of them and it was the same producers as "Little Miss Sunshine."
Faris: We almost accepted it on that alone. We didn't have the movie sold at that point, but we love the idea of a movie that stars two great actors – especially Zoe was an unknown quantity and that's really exciting to be able to introduce a new actor to the audience, so.
Dayton: But then with the script. We just flipped over because I like the idea of doing a romantic story but not your traditional romantic comedy, and to do a film…
Faris: It was funny and we like that. It also had a comedy elements without particularly…
Dayton: But it was really about something, you really feel like I've had a full meal. Here, you can walk out of a theater and feel like you've been on this journey.
Faris: For us anyway, that's what it was for us. Just even making the movie means to have those elements to keep our interest for two years, I think that's sort of the test we use, it's interesting enough for us to spend two years, hopefully it will be interesting enough for the audience to spend an hour and a half.
The climax of the movie is a very intense scene as the writer tries to keep his creation under control. Was that difficult to film?
Dayton: Well, that was the scene that made us most excited about making this because we had never seen something like that in a movie and it was very intimidating and we didn't know how to do it, but we knew that this was something we could sink our teeth into.
Faris: And it was also something that had to take place in the story, in this story you had to go there, you couldn't get around it– but that didn't mean we knew exactly what it was, it isn't something that happens in real life, even though a lot of the other elements in the story are things that happen in real relationships, this isn't is exactly what happens (although metaphorically it is) it was harder to sort of take the metaphor into reality, what would that be?
Dayton: As part of our regular process, we workshop films, scenes, so we workshopped that scene with other actors early on and then we acted out a lot ourselves.
Faris: Not all of that is on screen!
Dayton: Yeah, yeah, but a lot of it was – how dark does this go? We wanted it to be dark, but – I hate to even use the word dark because it is more than that; we wanted it to resonate.
Faris: Well, it's painful, it's going to a painful place – it's dark, too, but I think it was more about the pain of him needing to let go of this thing that he created, and so we likened it to a binge drinker, just having to go to that point where you make yourself sick so you won't do it again, so exploring that and trying to understand when he's giving her these commands, does she resist him? Can she resist them? Or does she have to completely surrender? All those issues were a lot of what we did in rehearsal and it worked best to us if she had no control. And if he had complete control of her.
Dayton: And it was the one scene we couldn't rehearse with Paul and Zoe in advance. They feared it, Zoe in particular, and so we, in the script, had very little detail, we had workshop to so that and had been thinking about it for probably…
Faris: Months…
Dayton: Months and months…
Faris: A year, but not that specific…
Dayton: So, it wasn't until the morning before we shot
Faris: The morning of the day we shot…
Dayton: Yeah, that we sat down, we wrote out what he was going to make her do…
Faris: In our pajamas at the breakfast table…
Dayton: …and then we gave it to Zoe and Paul and they did it and it was good – it was tricky, because they're a couple in real life, as you know, and so you don't want Paul doing certain things that are tinged with any relevance to their relationships…so these had to come from us…
Faris: We had to give him those commands.
Dayton: It's like when you have actors doing a sex scene; you always have to tell them exactly what you want to do, "Put your hand on their butt," because you don't want the actress thinking the guy is putting his hand…
Faris: That he's doing it out of his own volition, you want it to be the character doing it…
Dayton: The thing that was amazing to us in terms of that, Zoe just threw herself into that, she didn't want to think about it beforehand, but when she went to do it and perform it, she gave it her all – to the point of, we would give her these commands and she would have to repeat them and do them until we made a loud sound and she would switch into the next command, and so on the last take we really pushed her, because part of it was her exhaustion and he was pushing her to her limit, so we really pushed her, and I remember watching that scene and thinking, "I think we have a movie now." It was the first time—you're kind of adding the scenes up in your head—and watching her perform that, I just felt like she gave every bit that she had to give to it.
Faris: Which is ninety percent of that scene, is that one take where she just sort of went for it it—and we shot her side of it, first, so Paul got to see what he did, which really helped him on his side of it, but it was hard to watch her and not know what he was going to do with it, and then when we were shooting him, we really needed him to feel as much pain as she was…if he was doing it in a cold manner throughout the whole scene, it would—and you know, through editing, too, you pick all the moments where you feel his pain the most, so a lot of it was in the shoot and on the set and then in editing. It's amazing how much you can change the scene in the and kind of calibrate how much pain you dole out and where you pull back and then the music is another element that really…
Tell us a bit about the music in the film.
Dayton: The soundtrack is really such an important part of the movie, and we worked really hard. It was the same composers we had on Little Miss Sunshine, but it's an entirely different kind of score…
Faris: You know, it's funny because small movies have 'smaller sounding scores, indie-kind of sounding scores, and we decided we really wanted to go for a big sounding score.
Dayton: So we had like a 60 piece orchestra, and it was so much fun.
I can't remember seeing a residence in a recent movie that did such a good job of telling us who this character was, So, tell me a little bit about the production design and the costume design.
Dayton: Well, those were things we thought a lot about, and we were really excited to shoot in Los Angeles because it's our home, and the story takes place in LA so we could really just show LA instead of try to hide it.
Faris: Hide the palm trees!
Dayton: So we searched all over town for the right combination of qualities for Calvin's house, and we wanted it to be kind of a blank page, that he's having this writer's block and he's a bachelor in this empty house. We looked at Escher paintings and drawings…
Faris: Because Calvin lives in his head so much, so we like this idea of this split-level, brain-like interior…
Dayton: And yeah, with the stairs…
Faris: And a little bit of a labyrinth. That felt right to us. And we were looking a lot at—for some reason there were a lot of 80s references in this movie, he drives a BMW from the 80s and there were a lot of houses in the 80's in LA that were these kind of vertical, hillside homes that are like this, they're white boxes that…so we went to pretty much every house…
Dayton: Once we found a house we like, we'd say, "What else has he built?" And then we found this one guy who was the man, and then we found his house that he built for himself, and so it's his kind of masterwork.
Faris: He passed away about five or six years ago and his wife still lives in the house, and she was so happy…
Dayton: She was really moved that this was going to be immortalized…
Faris: We really appreciated it, actually, as a great house – we loved being in it and we really appreciated his aesthetic, but it also fit the character so well, there was a kind of nostalgia that he has in his character, he typed on a typewriter, he's a little cut off from the modern world, particularly at the beginning of the story, so that felt a little bit like his castle on the hill, here, he's removed.
Dayton: The costumes, Nancy Steiner, who did "Little Miss Sunshine" and all of our music videos and things did the costumes. Ruby's legs were a big thing, these colored stockings, we had certain music that was influential in the creation of the film, not necessarily to be in the finished film, but "She's a Rainbow," the Rolling Stones song.
Faris: Actually, the whole period of the Rolling Stones, the Brian and Jones. Of the Rolling Stones in the 60s, all that music, it's kind of got a baroque quality to it that was very big inspiration for us, we kind of thought of her as this rainbow that comes into the house and painted with color and she's the color. He was very bland in his wardrobe and also nostalgia, he's wearing the old man's wingtip shoes, he's really not a very adventurous guy and he's stuck in his head, so his clothing is a little tight that way, and not very expressive.
Dayton: And when she comes into his life, his colors expand a bit.
Faris: And Annette Bening was very fun to find clothes for, she loved wearing those caftans.
Dayton: You put those on her and her arms started flying through the air.
Faris: And then Nancy kind of came up with the idea of he bandanna for Antonio Banderas. With the rolled up pants and the overalls and the bandana it was just so perfect, and his beard!
Could you talk more about the collaboration in terms of what it was like working with your lead actress being the screenwriter and co-producer?
Dayton: We made a real effort to try and do as much work on the script in advance to really separate her roles so that she wasn't going to have to write and act. She had to do a little bit of that, ultimately, but the nine months we spent working on the script with her were so precious and fruitful…
Faris: And there was no deadline on that, we didn't have the film set up anywhere, so it was really purely just to get the script to a point where we felt like it was ready to make.
Dayton Her parents are both writers, so she's grown up watching writing and she's been writing since she was a child. It just comes naturally to her, but one of her gifts is the ability to rewrite. A lot of times writers can do something kind of amazing, at first, but they cannot revisit, it's kind of like – "this is what it is, I can't do anything else."
Faris: Can't see it any other way. To have a writer to kind of give them notes and then had the notes come back surprising you, and then better than what you imagined…
Dayton: It's like Rumpelstiltskin – you give them straw and they come back and it's gold.
Faris: Yes, that is a skill and Zoe was so quick with stuff.
Dayton: She would write while she was doing a play, so she'd be in the play, she'd come back stage in her dressing room, she'd have 20 minutes before she had to go back on stage.
Faris: So we'd talk to her on the phone, she'd go, "Oh, I'm going to have to go back on stage in 5 minutes, but call you when I'm off." Fine, made us feel like slouches. Well, we're just sitting here…she's just so multi-talented and not precious with what she does. Same with performing, both of them are very comfortable. In addition to just being great, it was so nice to just work with an actress that has written the material, because she knows it so well. She started at such a high level, and she was so willing, she was just so trusting and that's an incredible thing – and talented.
Dayton: Zoe has this uncanny skill to be able to open herself to new ideas and we talked about certain things that we thought could happen and then she would take these suggestions and then make them her own and come up with the most thrilling answers, like the final scene in the park, where they meet each other, that was entirely new from the original script and it was such an elegant, beautiful moment.

Since I recently re-watched all the Lord of the Rings movies and special features, I was in the mood to make lots of LOTR themed customs. The original pony was dyed a deep orange, and then the raised bits were sculpted with apoxie clay. She will be for sale at the 2008 Providence MLP Fair.
I love it!
This is so cute! I approve ^^b
The color is nice
how do you cook the clay without the plastic melting?
Apoxie sculpt doesn't need cooking, it's a two part clay that hardens about 3 hours after you mix it.
do they sell it at normal craft stores?
i could use some instead of having to bake clay everytime i make something D:
do they sell it at normal craft stores?
i could use some instead of having to bake clay everytime i make something D:
I have only been able to find it online, not at craft stores. I get mine at sculptingstudio.com, but if you google search apoxie sculpt you should be able to find other sellers as well. Good luck!
oh i might be able to get some from my dad he uses that stuff to fix things like broke porcelin things
and thanks
and thanks
So beautiful, I so love LOTR customs and this one is gorgeous!
Mm, I must watch all the extended versions tonight....and never sleep again...

Skip to comments.PROOF THAT WE HAVE IDIOTS IN WASHINGTON
Posted on 05/02/2010 4:12:10 PM PDT by GrannyK
This is totally crazy and it should make you want to slap the hell out of the idiots we have in Washington DC .
Georgia Arms is the 5th largest retailer of .223 Ammo in America . They sell 9mm, .45, .223 ammunition. They normally buy spent brass from the US Department of Defense. Spent brass is "one time used" shell cases used by our Military for training purposes.
They buy the brass, recondition it, and then reload the brass for resale to Law Enforcement, Gun Clubs, Gun Shops, and stores like Wal-Mart. They normally buy 30,000 lbs of spent brass at a time.
This week the DoD wrote a letter to the owner of Georgia Arms and informed him that from now on the DoD will be destroying the spent brass, shredding it. It will no longer be available to the ammo makers, unless they buy it in a scrap shredded condition (which they have no use for).
The shredded brass is now going to be sold by the DoD to China as scrap metal, after the DoD pays for it to be shredded. The DoD is selling the brass to China for less money than the ammo makers have been paying, plus the DoD has to pay to have the brass shredded and do the accounting paperwork.
This sure helps the economy now doesn't it? Sell cheaper to China , and do not sell at all to a proven US business. Any hidden agenda working here? Obama going after the Firearms Industry and our ammunition!! The Georgia Arms owner even related a story that one of his competitors had already purchased a load of brass last week. The DoD contacted him this week and said they were sending someone over to make sure it was destroyed. Shell cases he had already bought!
The brass has no value to the ammo maker if it is destroyed/shredded/melted. The ammo manufacturer only uses the empty brass cases to reload different calibers, mainly .223 bullets.
The owner of Georgia Arms says that he will have to lay off at least half of his 60 workers, within 2-3 months if the DoD will no longer sell spent brass cases to the industry. Georgia Arms has 2-3 months of inventory to use, by summer they're out.
If the Reloading Industry has to purchase new manufacture brass cases, then the cost of ammunition will double or even triple, plus Obama wants to add a 500% tax on each shell.
You can read the information and see the DoD letter to Georgia Arms here: The Shootist Site http://www.theshootist.net/2009/03/dod-ends-sale-of-expended-military.html
If you're not outraged at what this administration is doing you should be! Be Afraid! Be Very Very Afraid! Get involved! It's Your Freedom and Our Country They're Stealing! If You Fail to Act Now, there may not be a Free United States tomorrow!
I implore you to get involved and forward this to as many people as you can. Contact your legislators and put them on notice, We're fed up with what's going on in the name of stimulating our economy!
You did good.
You didn't kill the html formatting, and anything that is out of whack in the arrticle body the mods can fix easily.
I recall this in the news a while back when there was a major ammo shortage, it's good that it is kept in the news for it does appear to be senseless outside of political agenda.
I just don't understand why they want to destroy the shells when the military will also have to pay more for ammo.
These people are not idiots, they are cunning, treasonous wolves, mounting an attack on the Second Amendment. Make no mistake, death camps are on the way! IMHO
This is just the regime doing what it can to reduce the supply of ammunition. It is so desperate to keep the people unarmed that it will literally spare no expense to do this.
I can only guess it is to create a shortage and at the same time, get rid of all casings that aren't bar coded.
The story is a year old and the policy was changed almost as soon as it was initiated.
Update: http://www.theshootist.net/2009/03/plowshares-beaten-back-into-bullets.html
DoD decision rescinded.
The same story was going around about a year ago, but I heard everything got straightened-out.
Thanks! I was told this but in my opinion we all need to keep vigilant and expect this from those in charge.
ANd it is such an abuse of our tax dollars.
Liberals suck. aND THEY ARE STUPID....DO THEY NOT KNOW THAT GOVERNMENT CHANGES WITH THE PEOPLE WHO ARE ELECTED? DO THEY THINK THEY ARE SAFE WITH GOVERNMENT CONTROLLING EVERYTHING? JUST WAIT UNTIL THEY ARE THE ONES IN THE HOSPITAL HALLWAYS SCREAMING WITHOUT HELP OVER THE PLUG BEING PULLED ON A BELOVED CHILD BECAUSE STATISTICS SHOW HE OR SHE IS GOING TO BE TOO EXPENSIVE TO TAKE CARE OF MEDICALLY. AND IT WILL BE THE POOR BLACK FOLKS AND THE POOR WHITE FOLKS AND THE POOR HISPANIC FOLK WHO SUFFER THIS FIRST BECAUSE THEY ARE THE LEAST POWERFUL OF ALL...THE ONES WHO WANTED THE FREEBIES AND THEN FIND OUT THEY GOT SATAN IN A GOVERNMENT WRAPPED PACKAGE, INSTEAD.
PLEASE read the original article more carefully!
1. The article is dated March 2009.
2. In huge capitals at the original article, it says "This situation has been resolved." This was posted last March and everyone wrote their congresscritters and it was rescinded.
Sorry if I sound short but I'm posting from my iPhone.
Moronic economics... moronic politics... deprives Americans... benefits the Chinese... yes, this has "Washington Handiwork" written all over it.
America has fallen into a pit of PC insanity, and it's digging itself in ever deeper day by day.
Pure and simple.
You did exceedingly well, GrannyK. Welcome.
Not idiots, but rather totalitarians who hate the Second Amendment.
looney idiot ping
Thanks! I guess I should have done more research but my blood was boiling when I read the story. My grandkids love to come to our farm and shoot their guns, I was worried we wouldn't be able to buy ammo for them to practice. They retrieve all the empty shells before they go home.
No problem....I appreciate all ideas! I should have researched more before I posted.
I used to be a neighbor to a lady that worked at Georgia arms.
Still, theres something about that cummings reference to that nipponized bit of the third avenue el in the top of his head convincing the doubter of Japanese imperial intentions. Our country has seen this movie before. Hasnt anyone learned anything?
Pardon the non-working link to the ee cummings poem, "plato told". It is here > http://everything2.com/title/plato+told
I thought this had been cleared up a long time ago. This came up a couple of years ago.
Friday night staying at a hotel in Crystal City and looking out the window at the US Capitol Building. My first reaction was to flip it the middle finger with emphasis.
I have since apologized to the building itself for it has more honor than most of the vermin creeps who walk it's floors.
WHO and why WOULD ANYONE WaNT PROOF???
Sorry, GrannyK - the date of this article,please note, is "Sunday, March 15, 2009"
When that directive came out, the sh*t hit the fan.
and the gov't pulled in it's horns quick.
that is not to say, however, that they aren't intent on implementing it. After all, they have it on the shelves.
Please see here the sequence of events last year:
Sunday, Aprl 30, 2009
Excerpt" On Tuesday afternoon, six days after the directive was issued, DOD rescinded the order, announcing it would once again allow the sale of unmutilated military brass to the civilian market. The threat had been averted.
Expecting the new administration to make a move against guns, everyone naturally assumed this was a back-door attempt to limit firearm use in the U.S. by the new administration.
After all, remove the bullets, and the guns are useless, right?
On Wednesday, the National Rifle Association announced the decision to rescind sales was one that had been discussed months before a broad plan to examine all military surplus sales to ensure hardware did not end up being sold eventually to terrorists and used against us.
According to the NRA, the directive was issued to give the DOD time to examine whether expended brass actually posed such a threat. Once it was determined it was safe to sell such material on the civilian market, the directive was lifted.
Of course, we all know how slow any government agency reacts to change. This had to be a new record for decision-making in a bureaucracy such drastic actions were ordered and rescinded in a mere six days.
I personally believe the firestorm of criticism had a lot to do with the rapid cancellation of the order. But it doesnt matter what caused it; the good news is the pipeline is still intact."
So this dastardly plan was nipped in the bud and at a unprecedented speed. Though they would like to do this, I doubt they'll bring it up again in a hurry.
So as one granny to another, a word of caution: CHECK the DATE! (You scarred me to death! I knew we had shoved this back in the cave a year ago and I thought "OH NO! NOT AGAIN!"
Otherwise, you did a good job posting ;o) don't be discouraged.
Old... order rescinded.
Tyrants always prefer a disarmed peasantry. Or as less-armed as possible.
Good post!
Important issue.
You did good. You found out who posts to a thread without reading most of the comments. Good job.
I buy re-loads from Georgia Arms. Nice guys.
It's to keep the reloaded ammo out of civilian hands. That's the ONLY reason I can think of.
No proof is needed to assume that DC is populated by people as stupid as a box of rocks.
No doubt in my mind.
Since I am still learning....how did you add all of the pictures and all to your bio page? That is really neat.
Stimulatinng the economy? Let's get real here.
This is about going around the Second Amendment.
"The power to tax is the power to destroy" has never been clearer. 500% tax on ammunition? Suppose the fascists imposed a new tax on churches; say annually $1000 per parishoner. How would that be any different?
Time for a plea to the Supreme Court toot sweet!
I see no violation of the Constitution by shredding the cases and destroying the value, thus wasting colossal amounts of money. Government does that all the time.
There is no Constitutional prohibition against that! Although I would argue that that constitutes lack od due diligence is fiduciary responsibility to the American taxpayer, and incompetence in governance.
What's to understand?
It's not their money.
We need to be reminded of things 0bama has tried to do and has done in the 15 months since he took office.
He is dangerous!
The military doesn't pay for it. You do. And Bill Clinton banned imports of Chinese ammo for we peons.
>Suppose the fascists imposed a new tax on churches; say annually $1000 per parishoner. How would that be any different?
It's 'different' because that would be congress "prohibiting the free exercise thereof" [religion].
Everyone knows that "shall not be infringed," in regards to firearms, means only by the government... which is why they have full-autos, high-capacity magazines, and silencers!

Britain Reacts
Jim Burroway
February 24th, 2014
The British Foreign Ministry has issued this statement in reaction to Uganda's enacting the Anti-Homosexuality Bill:
On 24 February 2014 William Hague said:
I am deeply saddened and disappointed that the Anti-Homosexuality Bill in Uganda has been signed into law. The UK strongly opposes all discrimination on any grounds. We question the Bill's compatibility with Uganda's constitution and international treaty obligations. There can be no doubt that this Bill will increase persecution and discrimination of Ugandans, as well as damage Uganda's reputation internationally.
We ask the Government of Uganda to protect all its citizens and encourage tolerance, equality and respect. We will continue to press the Government of Uganda to defend human rights for all, without discrimination on any grounds.
In 2011, British Prime Minister David Cameron warned Uganda that countries which persecute gay people will find their foreign aid budget cut.

In observance of Breast Cancer Awareness Month Gilda's Club will host a workshop for women with advanced breast cancer.

This free workshop will take place on October 30 from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. This will include dinner.
Women can and do live for years with metastatic cancer. This workshop will give those living with breast cancer, as well as their families, the opportunity to learn more about the disease and develop the skills necessary to become an active and informed partner with their treatment team.
The speaker will be Dr. Susannah Friemel, Oncologist, with Hematology Medical Oncology. For questions or to register please call 563-326-7504.Frankly Speaking About Advanced Breast Cancer is created by The Wellness Community – National in collaboration with Living Beyond Breast Cancer and made possible through an unrestricted educational grant from GlaxoSmithKline Oncology, AstraZeneca and Abraxis.

I might just be reading way too much into this, but after a m/c just two months ago, I am probably a little paranoid now. I got my BFP last Thursday, on day 29 of my cycle. The first test I took was extremely faint, and I wasn't quite sure so I took a digital test and got a "pregnant" result. The following day at the dr.'s office I took another test and it was positive as well, but quite faint again. I just attributed the faint line to being so early still (day 28 and 29). I took one today, for silly reasons really, but I wanted a test that was dark enough that I could take a picture of for a future scrapbook. It was just as faint today! I was fully expecting it to be a dark plus sign this time. I have low progesterone and am on progesterone support already, but could a really faint line indicate that my hcg is low too?? I am wondering if I should be getting that level checked as well or if there is anything they can even do it about it anyways. My last mc was just so rough because I had all the symptoms, no spotting or anything, and showed up for an u/s to find no heartbeat. I can't bear going through that again, so I just want to do everything in my power to get my body everything it needs.
Does a faint line indicate low HCG?

well if you're worried check with your doctor, it could just mean youre still early and you levels are still building. Take another test this weekend and see what happens. but dont stress your self out about it.
good luck and have a H&H 9 months!

I don't know but I am worried too. My line isn't as dark as the control line but isnt' really faint but it won't get darker. My first test was last Mon and I tested yesterday and my lines won't get darker. I am worried to but have an apt Thur so I am asking for my levels to be checked.

NO! A test line can vary based on how much you drank, how long you held your pee, the test itself. Check out peeonastick.com. She has lots of info on this. I get it. I had a m/c last month myself ( and one in nov). But I want to enjoy this pregnance & I am choosing to not be terrified. It's not good or productive for you or the baby!

Thanks ladies. I just needed a little input. You have the right attitude Valerie! I am trying and praying for that attitude as well...some moments it comes easier than others. After nearly 7 years of a fertility roller coaster, it is really hard not to over analyze every little thing. I will check out that site.
