"Well for all of you SNL fans, I'm 50! I'm 50!" That's how Jodie Foster began her memorable 2013 Golden Globes speech, adding "I was going to bring my walker tonight, but it didn't go with cleavage."
How does it feel to review her 47 years in film? "Looking at all those clips," she said, "you know the hairdos and the freaky platform shoes, it's like a home movie nightmare that just won't end."
On stage to accept the Cecil B. DeMille award, Foster thanked pals Robert and Susan Downey and Mel Gibson, the costar she has supported through troubled times. Speaking elliptically, but as publicly as she ever has about her private life, Foster also praised her co-parent (with sons Charlie and Kit) and former partner, Cydney Bernard. Most poignantly, the two-time Oscar winner spoke directly to her mother and former manager, Brandy, who now suffers from dementia:
"Mom I know you're inside those blue eyes somewhere and that there are so many things that you won't understand tonight, but this is the only important one to take in: I love you, I love you, I love you. And I hope that if I say this three times, it will magically and perfectly enter into your soul, fill you with grace, and the joy of knowing that you did good in this life. You're a great mom. Please take that with you when you're finally OK to go."
In three cover stories over the last decade, Foster has shared her thoughts with More. Here are some excerpts:
On her mother's influence:
"[Brandy's] vicarious thrill was, 'You will be respected in ways that I wasn't.' Until I was 16, I don't even think I read most of the scripts I got. She chose them for me. We'd discuss the character, but it really did come from her psyche. And that's how I learned her…Because her obsessions were based on her past—the feminism of the 1940s and being a Depression child. She wanted to be somebody who stood on her own, somebody who wasn't a slave to someone else."
On her private life:
"I think of myself as phenomenally open. My children would say that, the people who know me would say that, the people who see me in the park would say that. Because when you have kids, you have to be open. Otherwise, what kind of message would that send? You can make a choice that brings them dignity or you can make a choice that's some hiding, shameful thing. I always choose dignity."
On John Hinckley Jr.'s 1981 attempt to assassinate President Reagan in a bid to impress her:
"I want people to remember me as an actor, not some historical footnote….[But] suddenly I understood something I hadn't understood before. I saw ahead of me the life I had been leading, and I didn't want to be Tom Cruise."
"You know, the division between sanity and insanity is so arbitrary. Isn't it possible that we all have that bit of insanity in us? That's why I'm for gun control. Absolutely. Hunting, I get that—let's protect hunting. But I don't believe that people should have access to life-or-death situations at any emotional time in their life. I don't really believe that a human being who feels [things] should have the option at their fingertips to use this many calories." [Mimes pulling a trigger]
On choosing controversial roles:
"I like films where I'm forced to figure out the morality, what the movie stands for. When you're younger, where you stand is more black and white. Then as you get older, your reflections on morality become more and more complex."
On sticking by Mel Gibson:
"When you love a friend, you don't abandon them when they are struggling. Of course, Mel is an undeniably gifted actor and director, and The Beaver is one of his most powerful and moving performances. But more importantly, he is and has been a true and loyal friend. I hope I can help him get through this dark moment."
On hitting 40:
"I think the pressure's off….There's a nice thing about turning a certain age where you've made so many life decisions; so many non-chosen paths are behind you, and you don't have to worry about them anymore. All those arbitrary goals that you have as an actor and filmmaker, I feel like I already did them. So I can check them off."
On aging in Hollywood:
"I'd like to be a Simone Signoret-type actress, with the big old hooded eyes and kind of overweight and craggy, with gray hair. There are going to be all these actresses pulled and pushed and dyed and Botoxed, and there's going to be nobody to play the real parts."
On actresses who inspire her:
"Katharine Hepburnhad a really long career. I look forward to aging onscreen, to making movies when I'm 65, 70, to playing the parts of real older women. I'd love to have the career of Meryl Streep. But I'm not sure I'll want to work as much as she does in her 50s. [Laughs]

Here they are – the final six entries.
They have ranged from a child's drawing on the back of an envelope to individuals from all over Europe.
But Southampton finally has its top six designs as the quest to bring a Spitfire memorial to the city's docks moved a step closer.
A panel of judges whittled down the 315 entries that were submitted in just three weeks and have been on display at Southampton's Solent Sky Museum.
The winning entry for the 180ft statue will be at the entrance to the city's waterfront.
Alan Jones, director of the museum, said: "The interest has been enormous, the phone hasn't stopped with calls from people saying how's it going, have you had my design, which has proved there is an insatiable appetite for the Spitfire."
The judging panel included Mark Spearing, head of the School of Engineering Sciences at Southampton University, Councillor John Hannides and the Daily Echo editor Ian Murray.
They scrutinised each one for its artistic merit, but also structural feasibility.
The winner will be selected in six to eight weeks and the landmark should be in place by the end of 2011, in line with the 75th anniversary of the Spitfire's maiden flight at Eastleigh.
It will sit on land beside the Trafalgar dry dock alongside the state-of-the-art £19m Ocean Terminal, only two miles from the Supermarine Aviation site where RJ Mitchell developed the aircraft.
No taxpayers' money is being spent on the scheme so the £2m needed will be raised by the Spitfire Tribute Foundation.
It comes as ceremonies across the country this weekend mark the 70th anniversary of the Battle of Britain, in which Southampton's Supermarine Spitfire became a symbol.
- Charles Rist's desgn
- Martin Witts design
- James Burnell's design
- Christopher Draper's design
- Charles Knowles's design
- Jonathan Lucas's design
The Daily Echo has backed a long-running campaign to honour those who built and flew the plane.
Councillor Hannides, chairman of the Spitfire Tribute Foundation, said: "Clearly the Spitfire does hold a special place in people's hearts and for many people it's also a source of inspiration.
"It's a recognition of the Spitfire both in terms of its engineering innovation and in securing the freedom of the country."
Mr Jones added: "When you think of all the public art in the country how often does the public say how it will look.
"We have had designs by children on the back of an envelope to professional graphic artists."
All designs will continue to be displayed at the museum for a month.

WIP Wednesday Linky #7
Anyway, here's what I'm up to ...
Ongoing Projects:
Urban Lattice Quilt Along. Someday, I would love to make a plan and stick with it. Just one time: Make plan, buy fabric, and execute said plan, with no changes. Is that too much to ask? But of course, since I had a ridiculously long time to think about my Urban Lattice Quilt before actually starting it, I just couldn't leave well enough alone.
The most urgent project on my list right now is the girl counterpart to my Modern Meadow Baby Quilt. One of these two quilts will go to a surprise-gender baby due in February, so I need to get moving on the girly one. It suddenly occurred to me that the Urban Lattice design would be a great choice for this project. That means the couch quilt I was planning to make for myself in this quilt-along has been back-burned in favor of a baby Urban Lattice in Far Far Away 2. But I'm modifying the design a bit, because I really want to showcase those adorable Heather Ross prints. I shrank the block down to 8" finished instead of 12", and my solid background strips are a lot narrower.
So far I've only made one block, so I'm having a hard time picturing how this will look when it's done. I really hope I like it. The FFA2 is already cut, so I'm kinda committed now. My background strips are Kona Bone and the lattice strips are Kona Stone.
Completed tops awaiting quilting:
Hope Valley quilt
Modern Meadow Baby Quilt
Fall Equinox (Fat Quarterly quilt-along quilt)
Still didn't do anything with these:
That Girl quilt-along
Figgy Pudding quilt
Wonky Log Cabin
This week's stats:
New projects - 0
Completed projects - 1
Currently in progress - 7 (down one from last week)
But enough about me—let's see your post-holiday WIPs! Link up below. Just remember to link back to me, and comment on the other links!

My experience has been that I go through lots of moments of doubt putting the lattice blocks together. It isn't until I have like nine blocks done and can lay it out that I start to feel better about my choices. That said, I think yours will be LOVELY!

I couldn't agree with you more about Christmas! I ususally try to wait until after the new year, but I am taking my trimmings down today!! I am eager to start 2011!
I love what you are doing with the Urban Lattice quilt. Of course you can't go wrong with FFA2! I am still in the choosing fabric stage, but I am looking forward to starting this one.
Thanks for the link up!

Your FFA2 baby girl quilt is going to be lovely!
I did have my girls take the ornaments off the tree and it will be gone tonight, but... I am leaving the mics stuff out because it matches my Chirstmas quilt and I can't bear to put it away yet.
- December 29, 2010 at 1:50 PM
- A Girl said...
I love where your Urban Lattice quilt is going...and don't worry about changing your mind...sticking to a "plan" is boring. I think in the end you will be very happy with your decision. Besides totally loving your choice in fabrics.

Today we were sitting around, and we were looking at our feet. She noticed that my toes are kind of weird ( ) and she decided to start calling me "Ducky". Its not that my toes are webbed but they are awkward.
Anyway the point of the story is that a few moments ago she came into the room and started throwing little peices of bread at me. I couldn't stop laughing.
In other news my left earlobe in infected and it hurts like a bitch.
Happy new years!

Infrastructure need: 650 to 850 stalls of structured parking, stormwater facilities, sidewalks, public space orientation to enhance walkability, streetscapes, and parks
Estimated cost: $8 million to build a parking structure, deemed the most difficult to fund or finance as it is for the greater community benefit, with no resulting revenue or tax benefit for the developer as the TOD area will have its own additional parking. Ongoing funding is also needed to help offset maintenance costs.
Where: Civic Center TRAX Station; Sandy City, Utah
Who: Utah Transit Authority (UTA), Salt Lake City and Sandy City, Utah
Property developer: Hamilton Partners, Chicago
California may grow as much over the next 20 years as it did during the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s combined. Rather than create new suburbs, the state can reinvigorate existing population centers by making them easily navigable via various modes of transportation—walking and biking, as well as cars and buses.
This strategy of encouraging denser, more sustainable development that minimizes environmental impacts is called transit-oriented development (TOD). TOD is defined as development within a one-quarter to half-mile radius of a transit station that offers a mix of housing, employment, shopping, and transportation choices. The approach provides significant environmental benefits, but it also requires significant infrastructure improvements and expansions:
Making these changes poses unique challenges:
Cost. Designing and placing infill infrastructure often requires a greater investment than "first in" projects that justify their expense through future sales, property, and other tax revenues; and TOD shouldn't be expected to increase growth beyond what was already expected for a given community or region. Figuring out how to spread costs among existing and future land uses can be a major barrier to new development centered around transit.
Timing and market considerations. Traditional financing mechanisms—taxes, user fees, even system development charges—are typically imposed with new development. TOD, however, requires improvements to be financed and developed up front, before "value capture" mechanisms can be deployed. The lag between when the investment must be made and development can occur can be many significant.
Multiple entities. More than a dozen local and regional public agencies may have to be involved to address water, sewer, stormwater, roads, and parking implications. Financing also may be needed from private developers to enable their properties to support planned levels of development.
"Developing new financing approaches is critical if more communities are to enjoy the sustainability and efficiency that TOD allows," says Dena Belzer, president of the firm Strategic Economics and a lead consultant on U.S. EPA's recently released "Infrastructure Financing Options for Transit-Oriented Development." "This report helps communities learn from what their peers around the country are doing."
Released as part of EPA's Office of Sustainable Communities' Smart Growth Implementation Assistance (SGIA) Program, the 250-page guide identifies 30 tools and related strategies. The tools fall into six broad categories:
Some, like user fees and municipal revenue bonds, have been around for years. Others, such as structured funds, infrastructure investment funds, and redfield-to-greenfield programs, are new or becoming more common.
In addition, 11 case studies illustrate how these mechanisms can be mixed and matched to meet specific infrastructure needs and development/funding contexts (click here to see sidebar).
Finally, the report walks readers through how four SGIA program recipients addressed financing. One involves the Utah Transit Authority (UTA); Salt Lake City; and Sandy City, Utah.

Cognac-Laced Potato Cream Soup
Submitted By:
{HWTM} The Hungry Mouse -
1 Tbls. butter
2 cups potato, peeled and diced
1 medium onion, peeled and diced
1/2 cup dry white wine
2 cups chicken stock
1 fresh bay leaf
1 Tbls. garlic powder
freshly cracked black pepper
1 cup heavy cream
1/4 tsp. nutmeg
a few drops of cognac
fresh parsley, minced
Peel your potatoes and dice them up into small chunks (aim for the size of a sugar cube, so they cook quickly).
Melt the butter in a medium-sized pot over medium heat. Toss in the diced potato and onion. Stir to combine and coat with butter. Raise the heat to medium-high. Cook for a few minutes, stirring occasionally, until the veggies start to brown. Your goal is a thick-ish layer of browned goodness on the bottom of your pot. This will happen quickly, so don't walk away from the stove.
Pour in the white wine. (Be careful, there'll be a poof of steam.) Leave the heat on medium-high. Scrape at the bottom of the pot with a wooden spoon to loosen all those brown bits. The wine should start to simmer and thicken considerably from the starch in the potato.
Pour in the chicken stock. Toss in the bay leaf. Add the garlic powder and whisk it to mix well. (This is a fair amount of garlic powder, and the soup will smell *very* garlicky until you add the cream.)
Raise the heat to high and bring the soup up to a boil. Once it starts to bubble, drop the heat to low and cover the pot tightly. Simmer covered for 10 minutes, or until your veggies are cooked through.
Remove the bay leaf from the pot and toss it. Puree the soup with an immersion blender until smooth.
Add the cream and nutmeg and whisk well to incorporate. Turn the heat on to medium-high and bring the soup up to a simmer. Simmer like this, uncovered, for 5 minutes, whisking occasionally.
To serve, drizzle a little cognac in the bottom of each bowl, then ladle the soup on top of it. Garnish with minced parsley. Enjoy!

I always use brown extra large eggs, but I can't honestly say why I do this other than habit at this point. Are there any distinct advantages or disadvantages like flavor, shelf life, etc?
The Egg Nutrition Center's FAQ page has an entry on this very topic. Basically, the color of the egg does not affect the egg's flavor, nutritional value, etc. It simply depends on the particular breed of chicken that lays the egg -- white eggs from white hens, brown eggs from brown hens.
It's also worth noting, as the ENC points out:
The only difference you might notice would be if you free range eggs instead of factory farm eggs. There is a slight yolk color difference and I think a slightly better flavor. Mine come in a range of colors including green, brown, and white.
Cosmetic only, based on the breed of the chicken. When I was growing up we had some South American Aracaña chickens. Besides being able to fly, the two hens laid pale yellow and green eggs. Kind of like pre-colored Easter eggs!
There difference between white and brown eggs is purely cosmetic. There is no nutritional or taste difference.
Brown eggs, IMO, look cooler, though. ;-)

Modern Luxury Dallas feted its annual issue honoring the city's philanthropic set by keeping time with Northpark Center's Tag Heuer outpost for the exclusive event. Helping ring in the event were guest co-hosts Daniel Branch, of the Salvation Army's Echelon, and Stacie Whitley, for the Dallas Opera, each of whom accepted a timepiece to put up for auction at their next big event. With an abundance of Veuve Clicquot bubbly on (and in) hand, Belvedere Unfiltered cocktails and bites by neighbor Seasons 52—along with a display of Tag Heuer's iconic Carrera Collection, named for the daring Mexico street race of the 1950s enjoying its 50th anniversary—there was plenty to celebrate. –Photography by Danny Campbell

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum and Case Western Reserve University will honor rock and roll pioneer Chuck Berry during the 17th annual American Music Masters® (AMM) series this October. Roll Over Beethoven: The Life and Music of Chuck Berry, a weeklong celebration beginning October 22 and culminating with a special tribute concert on October 27, will tell the story of one of the first musicians to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1986. As part of the celebration, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum's Library and Archives has created a spotlight exhibit illustrating both essential and lesser known details about Berry's life and career through materials such as concert posters, photographs, books, and audio and video of live performances – from his start with Johnnie "B. Goode" Johnson in the Sir John Trio in 1952 to his resurgence in the 1970s.
The exhibit contains 14 items from the Museum's permanent collections, including sheet music to his 1955 hit song "Maybellene" that helped ignite the rock and roll revolution; a promotional photograph for "School Day (Ring! Ring! Goes the Bell)" from his first album After School Session from 1957, in which some of the lyrics appear on a blackboard behind him; a United Kingdom tour program, circa 1964; a 1966 reissue of the After School Session LP; a handbill from Berry's performance with the Grateful Dead in 1968; an invoice (pictured) for fees related to a performance at the Agora (Columbus, Ohio) with the Raspberries as his backing band in the early 1970s; and a letter to Jann Wenner from an editor at Rolling Stone about an interview that was conducted with Berry, in which they were attempting to "get across a clear picture of the man," as well as the final printed version of the article, "A Conversation with Chuck Berry" from November 23, 1972. These items and more are from the donated collections of John C. Browning, Alan Freed, Manny and Skippy Gerard, Jeff Gold, and Michael Ochs; the personal papers of Jane Scott; and the editorial records of Rolling Stone magazine.
In addition to this spotlight exhibit, the Library and Archives has been digitizing, cataloging and making available video content from AMM events of years past. To date, there are 59 videos available of lectures and performances devoted to celebrating the lives and careers of artists who changed the shape and sound of American culture, including Lead Belly, Sam Cooke, Woody Guthrie, Buddy Holly, Robert Johnson, Louis Jordan, Jerry Lee Lewis, Roy Orbison, Les Paul and Muddy Waters. To find out more about Chuck Berry and to explore the Library and Archives' collections, please visit the Library's online resource guide: http://library.rockhall.com/chuck_berry.
The Rock Hall will celebrate Chuck Berry's 86th birthday on October 18 with two special exhibits: a Chuck Berry Spotlight Exhibit at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum in Cleveland, Ohio, and a special Chuck Berry exhibit at the Rock Hall's Library and Archives.

ZF-8448: Translate_Adapter throws warning if $messageId is object
Sometimes object is passed to the $messageId (i.e. via Zend_Form instance of class with toString() magic method is passed as value) however that $messageId is not translated and gives
PHP Warning: Illegal offset type in isset or empty in /home/www/app/library/Zend/Translate/Adapter.php on line 682
This should fix the problem if (is_object($messageId)) $messageId = (string)$messageId;
Zend_Translate MUST have an string as key. Other types are not allowed and should not be given.
Using toString implicitly by isTranslated() would add problems. In my opinion it's better to have this warning to force the user to prevent those problems.
The thing is, that it is very difficult to track down the source code - where the object was passed. So I suggest to throw an exception instead.
IMHO 1 exception (which can be easily tracked) is better then thousands of pointless warnings in php error log
I agree on the notice being suppressed. But I do not agree on throwing an exception while translating.
Calling "translate()" it is NOT ALLOWED to throw an exception in any case. The return value must be equal with the input when no translation can be done.
Notices are no longer given with r19367. Exceptions will not be integrated for translation.
Translate_Adapter still throws warnings by isTranslated method:
if (isset($this->_translate[$locale][$messageId]) === true) {
// return original translation
return true;
should be fixed also.

As a citizen, no one can expect you to keep an eye on the shenanigans of more than 100 Utah state legislators, especially when you consider the amount of lunacy they can pack into a session.
A suggestion: Everyone choose a lawmaker and make a hobby of stalking his/her antics in the media, on the blogosphere and at the state's most excellent legislative website. If you are really into it, "friend" and follow the chosen one on Facebook and Twitter.
If no lawmaker leaps immediately to mind, don't worry. I'll be suggesting potential targets as the January legislative session approaches.
My first recommendation is State Rep. Mike Noel.
Over the decades, this sagebrush rebel and anti-fed rabble rouser from Kanab has wriggled his way into a position of exceptional power. Noel's not only a powerful House member who sits on committees over natural resources, the environment and public utilities, but he's the general manager of the Kane County Water Conservancy District.
So, despite the Marboro Man photo I got off Mike's website, he's really your basic career politician and government bureaucrat—who controls water in a very thirsty state. As you know, every living thing in Utah needs water, including subdivisions, endangered species, wilderness and nuclear power plants.
Some examples:
Noel is an ally of Blue Castle Holdings, a nuclear-development company run by former Utah legislator and Noel crony Aaron Tilton. The power plant would annually suck enough water to slack the thirst of Salt Lake City and Draper put together.
Noel isn't shy about using his power to intimidate state employees, board members and fellow lawmakers, like when he defended the managers of SITLA after they defied the Legislature's moratorium and paid themselves $294,000 in bonuses. It never hurts to have a public land manager owe you a favor.
Noel's latest mess/development opportunity is diverting millions in that nasty federal money to bring water to a hamlet of rustic cabins with a view of Zion National Park, so that it can explode with development.
If you swing far to the right, you can call Noel's efforts "bleeding the federal beast," but don't forget—Noel and his pals are the fat ticks under the fur.

Steve Ross vows to have a more transparent Dolphins
There's clearly a disconnect between the Miami Dolphins organization and their fan base.
That's been Steve Ross' issue with the team since he spent$1.1 billion on the team back in 2007. And the problem has grown more troublesome in this era of shrinking news space, and short – twitter length – attention spans.
Under Bill Parcells' close-fist approach there was little Ross could do about the information embargo, which limited the media's ability to explain decisions to the fan base.
However, Ross vowed to change that approach at the NFL owners meeting, where he addressed a number of issues, from losing out on Peyton Manning to retaining Jeff Ireland.
Miami's made a few steps in that direction by having Ireland, coach Joe Philbin, and CEO Mike Dee visiting the three major newspapers back in January. But that's clearly not enough for Ross, who wants a transparent football team.
"We're in a new world today. You can't have a bunker mentality," Ross said explaining the approach he's requested.
"We're going to be engaging you a lot more. We're a different organization," said Ross, who called one of the protesting fans last week. "We're going to be a lot more responsive.
"We're going to talk to our fans, which is very important," Ross continued. "We have great fans in South Florida, and we all have one thing in common. We want to see a winning football team."

Michael Stipe in the Marigny
So Michael Stipe from the band R.E.M. was in town recently and last week posted his favorite things to do in New Orleans to Gwyneth Paltrow's website GOOP. It appears he did some hanging in the Marigny because it included a bunch of nearby spots: The Cake Cafe, Buffa's, the Frenchmen street music scene, and JohnPaul's Bar. Very cool.

The purpose of the project is to reconstruct one mile of Highway 367 and construct a new White River Bridge at Newport. Work on Highway 367 will begin at the curve, just north of the bridge. It will extend to Third Street. Bridge construction will be performed adjacent to the existing bridge. Tanner Construction Co., Inc. of Ellisville, Mississippi was awarded the contract at $31,361,489.76. The bridge that is being replaced was built in 1930. It is 2,831 feet long with a maximum span 400 feet. The city of Newport will take ownership of that bridge to preserve it. Hot Springs engineer Ira G. Hedrick designed the original Newport bridge, along with the old spans in Clarendon and Augusta. Construction is scheduled to begin in two to four weeks, weather permitting. The project should be complete by early 2017. Additional travel information can be found at ArkansasHighways.com. You can also follow us on Twitter @AHTD.

I use the Zend_Validate_EmailAddress to validate email addresses for my email program. About three days ago the validator failed the following email addresses :

Today I find that the validator passes these email addresses which is obviously wrong.
Is this a bug?
The question is: What have you changed? When the code is the same and also the settings are the same then the change must be eigther related to the used input or to the response from the network on the MX request when this is configured to be used.

Two New B-Stations Will Link to Transit
Submitted by Kris Thompson on
BOULDER, CO (September 26, 2011) -- Boulder B-cycle, our community's nonprofit bike-share system, is pleased to announce the addition of two more B-stations.
On Thursday, September 29, the group will install stations at 6th & Canyon, near the Boulder County Justice Center, and RTD's hub at 14th & Walnut, for a total of 15 bike-share stations in Boulder.
"We're thrilled to add these new stations, as they'll help provide transit links for commuters rolling into Boulder by bus," said Elizabeth Train, executive director of Boulder B-cycle. "These stations will also expand the reach of our system to the west and add much-needed coverage downtown."
The transit link didn't happen by accident. The two new stations are being funded through a FASTER grant from the Colorado Department of Transportation designed to support and enhance transit systems. The sites were chosen for their ability to help transit users with "final mile" trips--from the bus stop to the office, the post office, or out to dinner--making bus travel more convenient.
The grant is being administered by GO Boulder, a program of the City of Boulder, which has worked in partnership with Boulder B-cycle to launch and expand the system.
"Helping commuters to link busses to B-cycles is a great fit with the city's goals to make it easier to get around town by foot, bike and bus," said Martha Roskowski, GO Boulder Program Manager. "The bike + bus trip is a great transportation option that can help reduce single-occupant vehicle trips, decrease carbon emissions and improve air quality, so we're delighted to partner with B-cycle on this effort," she said.
Two more FASTER-funded B-stations are in the works, one to be installed at the North Boulder Recreation Center and one at a yet-to-be-determined site. Stay tuned: Boulder B-cycle's looking for community input on the location for this fourth FASTER station and plans to host a public event to help select the site!

Who Wants One?
Latest News
Who Wants One?Posted byMay 11, 2011Filed under:1672
My favourite Lupe song is Lupe the Killer from Revenge of the Nerds mixtape because the wordplay in that song is crazyyyyy and every phrase can be translated into 676843 different meanings! However if I had to choose a favourite from Lu's three albums.....it would be Put You on Game because of its content based on the ills of society and the government. LOVEE IT.
If i had to chose one it would be Sitting Sideways Remix, Its just raw and the truth about street life, love the flow and he killled the beat.
It is hard to narrow down my favorite Lupe song to one, but if I had to it would be Intruder Alert. I choose this song because it truly speaks to my heart and I am able to relate to it.
*Till I Get There"... This song is probably my favorite song from Lupe in the LASERS Album since it's such a simple song, but the message is emotional. It shows how he dealing with all the issues around him until he gets there. It's that one song that I could relate to a ton.
"Words I Never Said" - just revolutionary. Lupe killed it on this one. He wasn't afraid to say what he thought - straightforward, honest, and fearless.
My all time favorite Lu song HAS to be The Coolest. Everytime that song comes on i have to listen to it carefully cause i know im going to miss something. It's a brilliantly constructed song. and the story to it is amazing.
My favorite Lupe song has to be "Words I've Never Said" I believe that the message that is being sent to the listening way more powerful than any other messages sent in songs by other artists and I also believe that it is true that you should just speak your mind because you never know if whatever you say could change the outcome of something for the better. I still can't believe that this song isn't played on the radio since it is such an amazing song and it is sending the user such a powerful message but I guess radio stations just don't understand the importance of people speaking their mind and not being afraid to tell everybody what he/she thinks.
I'm going to have to say "American Terrorist" It has everything. The catchy beat, a good flow, and not to mention the amazingly creative lyrics. They're far more deep than most other artists from any genre in this day and age. "The ink of a scholar is worth a thousand times more than the blood of a martyr." You seein' this? Wow!
"Show goes on" the song is amazing i listen to it every morning to get ready for the day the lyrics to it are my inspiration to do my best
"Words I Never Said". Lupe Fiasco is an inspiration. He isn't afraid to speak his mind and he isn't afraid to let us know what he thinks. The story behind the song is about many many unresolved conflicts and theories that have been debated throughout so many years. Lupe Fiasco shows his fans and the people that anyone can make a difference. Lyrically, he is a monster. Story telling, he is a genius. Inspiration, he is an idol. "Fear is such a weak emotion, that's why I despise it". Why are we afraid? Why are hesitant? The Words we never say, are the words that can make a difference. He showed me to not be afraid. "My screams is finally getting free, my thoughts are finally yelling through".
My favorite would have to be Daydreamin'. The metaphors Lu uses are absolutely ridiculous, Jill Scott sounds amazing on the chorus and it's the song that transformed me from a casual Lupe fan, to a hardcore one.
Hip-Hop Saved My Life because it tells the story of a nobody growing up to be one of the most famous people in the world, and after he is famous he helps out his family. That is exactly what i want to do with my family that's why I'm going to school and trying to get a good job. Plus I like the chopped up part where it says "Stack That Cheese".
Spray Paint And Ink Pens all day!! Crazy beat. Amazing Hook. Amazing verses. Plus Ghostface Killah & Mike Shinoda are legends in my eyes. With all that this song wouldnt be half as good with out lupe so..... LASERS Forever Killen Em' !!!! Cant wait till F&L 2
"Never Forget You" featuring John Legend is my favorite song by you Lupe. The song is so lyrically incredible, plus the song means so much to me. Im 15 years old, and I know what it is like to lose someone. Everytime I hear the song, I can only help but think of the ones who arent with us anymore. The song doesnt make me sad though.....it gives me hope and isnpiration to move on. The line in the song "We put you in the ground but I see you in the stars" sums it up perfectly. I listen to that song all the time. I know you probably wont read this, but thank you for helping me get through life. Your music is a gift to me and all of your fans across the world, so keep it up Lupe.....keep it real
I really love, "The Coolest." It is amazingly lyrical, the beat is great, and the message admonishing the modern rapper's chase for fame and glory is wonderful as well.
hip hop saved my life, i love the fact u dont mention paul wall but its the type of song that proves hip hop can save lives, your the man lupe kick push it
My personal favorite song, is "He Says She Says" from Food and Liquor. An honest to God, this is the only and I mean ONLY! song to make me cry. The first time I listened to the song I was very emotional, because I was enduring the same situation as the young kid in the story, it was as if you were watching over me and wrote this song specifically to me. Ever since that day I was able to move on without the guidance of a father figure in my home. I had a very song independent mother who has raised me for 17 years and now her hard job is paying off, because I'm graduating high school. You may have millions and and millions of fan, an you may not read this, but I wanna just say THANK YOU! THANK YOU! For so much you've done for me, by writing one song you was able to motivate me. GOD BLESS FNF UP.
The Cool - Its telling a story what reflects me, and how I use to chase after materialistic things; but once I got older I started to realise that everything I have will pass and fade, and the only thing left in this world are your close ones and family. I would rather bulid a legecy and be remeber than wasting my money trying to get the latest things. Not being cheap but whats the point of getting the latest Jordans if your 10k in debt, that just seems silly to me. I know I'm struggerling to make a buck now but if I lay my head low I'll make it in the game, where the whole world will no my name, and not just another nigga from the street who was doing ok for himself. I'm not chasing the cool-The Cool chasing after me - Easy
Glory, off of Fahrenheit 1/15 Part II: Revenge of the Nerds. I've been following Lupe since 04 and the first time that I heard Glory it brought tears to my eyes, I almost broke down. I was going through a really rough time in my life and that song helped me through it. Not only did it help me through it but it inspired me to become a better person. It made me decide to be a more active human being. It made me drop listening to ear candy and develop a taste for food for thought. It made me open my eyes and realize that we are in a simulated reality controlled by our government. Any time I'm feeling down I listen to that song and it brings me right back up to myself. It still remains my favorite song to this day. I made countless friends sit down and listen to it while reading the lyrics in hopes that they would feel the same way as me. Through all of it though, it helped me realize that when you are intelligent and enlightened that all you want to do is spread that same feeling of peace, love, & understanding, but sadly, you can show people water, but can't make them drink it. It even inspired me to become an artist myself, and I know one day Lu and I will work together, but until that day...I'm going to respect the position I play, never letting my heart reflect the conditions in which I stay.
The Coolest because his genius lyrics got the concept of his album across...it also has a sick instrumental...."and if the rain stops and everything's dry, she would cry just so I could drink the tears from her eyes. she'll teach me how to fly. even cushion my fall if my engines ever stall and i plummet from the sky"
The Coolest because his genius lyrics got the concept of his album across...it also has a sick instrumental...."and if the rain stops and everything's dry, she would cry just so I could drink the tears from her eyes. she'll teach me how to fly. even cushion my fall if my engines ever stall and i plummet from the sky"
Tilted. It was the first track i heard from Lupe back in 05', back when his website was just two links (e-mail sign up, and the forums) and a mp3 stream of "Tilted". Thats what started my musical journey with my favorite artist
My favorite Lupe Fiasco song is Kick Push because that was the first song I ever heard from Lupe. I was watching TV one day and the videos that were being played were all the same. I kept waiting for something unique to come on. When Kick Push popped up on the screen, it was like a breath of fresh air. I loved how the lyrics were telling a story, it had meaning, and I instantly became a fan. Some other Lupe Fiasco songs that I love are Daydreamin', Hip Hop Saved My Life, He gets the girl, Paris, Tokyo, I Gotcha, Conflict Diamonds, Coming up, Never Forget You, Letting Go, The Show Goes On, Superstar, I'm Beamin and many more=-) Shout out to Lupe.The LASERS album is a work of art. One Love
By far my favorite song is The Coolest. Love the story he tells, and the characters portrayed. Can't wait for F&L2

Heading toward the determination of the winner of the 2013-14 Learfield Sports Directors' Cup, gostanford.com will provide a progression of each of Stanford's 19 consecutive victories. Here is the fourth, in 1997-98:
Directors' Cup No. 4 (1997-98) | 1997-98 Season In Photos
LOOKING FOR AN all-time signature moment in Stanford sports history?
This one, from Bob Murphy's call in the final minute of the 1998 NCAA Midwest Regional men's basketball final against Rhode Island, is certainly as good as any:
A fourth consecutive Directors' Cup was hardly in question for Stanford. With a new scoring system in place, giving NCAA-winning teams 100 points, rather than 64, Stanford won by 350 points over joint runners-up Florida and North Carolina (1,010 points to 660).
Titles came in men's tennis for the fourth consecutive season, men's cross country for the second year in a row, and both men's and women's swimming and diving.
But it was a team that didn't win a national title that created the biggest stir on campus. The Cardinal men's basketball team reached its first Final Four since 1941-42 thanks to a dramatic 79-77 victory remembered most for a comeback that culminated in Mark Madsen's dramatic three-point play.
Stanford trailed 71-65 with 59 seconds left, but went ahead when Arthur Lee stripped the ball from a Ram player in the backcourt, and fed Madsen for a dunk as … "HE … WAS … FOULED!" The raucous reaction from Madsen and the intense joy of the moment will live forever in Stanford lore, even as the season ended in the semifinals with an 86-85 overtime loss to Kentucky.
Stanford in 1997-98 was full of great athletes at their best in the biggest events. Bob Bryan, who would join his twin Mike on two NCAA title teams and for 15 Grand Slam doubles championships, was a triple national champ. He won singles, doubles, and the team title in the same season.
The Dick Gould men's tennis dynasty truly was special. Stanford earned the 16th NCAA team title in a Stanford coaching career that would span 38 seasons, and won its fourth consecutive national championship by sweeping all four opponents in the NCAA tournament to finish 28-0.
Women's volleyball ushered in another remarkable year for Stanford athletics, which captured at least five NCAA team titles for the third time in four years. In the past two academic years, Stanford won 11 national championships.
Kristin Folkl, one of Stanford's greatest two-sport athletes, smashed the last two of her 22 kills to give Stanford the 1997 NCAA championship in a tight five-setter over Penn State.
Folkl played volleyball and basketball at Stanford, causing much discussion over where she should focus her immense talents. Volleyball ultimately won the day, with Folkl earning four All-America honors and making as many NCAA all-tournament teams. Her legacy was leading the Cardinal to three national championships in four years, with a young Kerri Walsh joining her for two of them.
* * *
More highlights from 1997-98:
• Victories by Tom Wilkens in the 200-yard breaststroke in the 200 individual medley and Tate Blahnik in the 200 backstroke, and Matthew Pierce in the 200 butterfly and three relays helped Stanford to the NCAA men's swimming and diving title, the team's seventh in 14 years, under Skip Kenney.
• In women's swimming, Misty Hyman won five NCAA titles, including individual crowns in the 200-yard backstroke, 100 butterfly, and 200 fly. She also teamed with Catherine Fox, the 50 freestyle winner, on the winning 200 and 400 medley relays. Hyman and Fox would eventually total 28 All-America honors each, joining Julia Smit as the most in program history.
• The men's volleyball team won the first eight matches to extend its school-record winning streak to 24.
• Stanford softball recorded its first winning season in 1997 under first-year coach John Rittman and took it a step further in 1998, recording a program-best 41-18 record, its first Pac-10 winning record (17-11), and earning its first NCAA tournament appearance.
• Felicia Zimmermann won women's epee title at the NCAA fencing championships as the Cardinal earned the second of three consecutive third-place team finishes.
• Stanford's synchronized swimming team, coached by Vickey Weir, won its first national championship.
The Final Count
1) Stanford, 1,010
2) Florida, 660
North Carolina, 660

Wich song is your favourite
Mine would have to be "Part of me"
But its a close one though
Part Of Me
i like step up and part of me but i picked step up
Probably one of the best Linkin Park songs ever. It had one of their more creative 'rock' moments, as well as Mike's crazy rapping at the end...genius!
(Actually, I like Tool's 'Part of Me' a lot better! )
If today is all we see
Then tomorrow seems to me
Is just an illusion we believe
carousel, but the demo of it is much better
Part Of Me
Tie. And One and Carousel are my favorites.
Part Of Me. Its such a powerful song, one of their darkest imo
Carousel. It is too cool.

Part Of Me.
I prefer the part before the chorus in the demo where Chester is screaming 'Cut myself free...'
Part of Me.
I love the way Chester sings the chorus.
And One
Step Up is so cool.
And one definitely

Posts Tagged homegirl
Posted by Native NYker in transexual on April 20, 2011
Out firm position on any relationship topic resides in 'live and mind your own fucking business.' Nuff said. We got our own problems in this department and we don't seem to be making a bit of progress in resolving them any – feel free to drop your suggestions at your leisure – so who are we to address the goings on between two consenting adults.
No one, that's who we be!
But clearly this isn't the average position for the masses. Case and point: as we scoured around looking for a posting today, given that we have been remiss on the celeb front – again, couple your complaints with suggestions at will – we came on this here video of a round the way homegirl addressing topics clearly way above her intellect. Namely, classification of a "heterosexual" man interested in and/or romantically involved with a transsexual male to female.
We ain't judging homegirl. Not in the least. We are simply making an observation on her muddling thru a topic that is WAY above anyone not fully versed in common sense.
For us, well, you like who you like and if they like you back that is the end. Just call us simple! But entertaining the video remains.
The realization proclaimed at the 2:40 mark is too much for words really. "I don know – shit – thats some confusing ass shit," she states. For real, y'all.
In homegirl's defense, she ultimately realizes that it "makes him man enough to accept" what he is involved with. I had my doubts she woud get there but she did. Kudos.

NTP, FDA at Odds on Bisphenol-A
On the eve of a Food and Drug Administration hearing on the health effects of the plasticizer bisphenol-A used in food packaging, the National Toxicology Program affirmed that the chemical may harm the brain and prostate of developing infants, fetuses, and children, and disrupt their behavior. Three weeks ago, the FDA issued a report calling the chemical safe. The final NTP report, released last week, downgraded the levels of concern for some developmental effects that had been expressed in an earlier draft after an outside peer review panel made those suggestions. One member of that panel, Nancy Kerkvliet, professor of environmental toxicology at Oregon State University, chairs the science advisory council of the Annapolis Center, a conservative science policy think tank funded by industry.
Meanwhile, new research from the Yale School of Medicine that came out last week found that the chemical causes brain and mood disorders in monkeys. Like most of the studies of BPA that show possible health problems (see this literature review in Environmental Health Perspectives), the latest study's authors reported no conflicts of interest. The two main studies used by the FDA for its analysis were funded by a unit of the American Chemistry Council, an industry trade group. The FDA's public meeting will take place September 16 near Washington.
Big Pharma U.? Harvard Offers Glaxo Sweetheart Deal
Harvard and the pharmaceutical company GlaxoSmithKline have entered into a five-year, $25 million deal to support stem-cell research that gives Glaxo special rights to intellectual property generated by the collaboration. Joint projects will take place either on campus or in the company's labs. Glaxo will get the rights to any patents generated in its labs, including those generated by university scientists, and first rights to a non-exclusive license for any discoveries made on campus. A Harvard spokesman also said the research consortium "will be overseen by a steering committee made up of equal numbers of Harvard and GSK personnel."
Harvard is just one of several universities that have signed special deals with drug firms this year, according to the Financial Times. Pfizer formed a three-year, $14 million collaboration with four research universities to study diabetes: the University of California Santa Barbara, Caltech, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and the University of Massachusetts. Columbia University entered into an agreement with AstraZeneca to develop therapeutics for metabolic diseases. And the University of Washington at St. Louis has entered into an agreement with AstraZeneca. The drug industry is increasingly turning to campus-based researchers to supplement its own lagging research and development efforts, which have fallen on hard times. The number of new drugs coming out of industry labs and approved by the Food and Drug Administration is at record-low levels.
Hearing Journal Slams Researcher for Failing to Disclose
The Ear and Hearing Journal editorialized last week that a controversial study published in 2005 contained an "incomplete and misleading" conflict of interest disclosure statement. The study downplayed the risk of hearing loss to firefighters from blaring sirens. The study's author, William W. Clark of the Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, acknowledged in the study that he "provided consulting services for manufacturers of emergency firefighting equipment." But he added that "no external funding was received for this study." In fact, Federal Signal Corp., which manufactures emergency equipment, helped conceptualize the study and acquired the original data for Clark, according to documents uncovered in a civil action filed by Chicago firefighters. The court eventually fined Signal Corp. $50,000 for attempting to cover up their involvement in the study, and barred Clark from testifying in the case. The Ear and Hearing Journal noted that its disclosure policy calls for "all funding sources supporting the work to be acknowledged."
EPA Says DOT Underestimated Gas Mileage Benefits
The Environmental Protection Agency last week accused the Department of Transportation of using unrealistic data on gasoline prices that resulted in an underestimation of the economic benefits of increasing fuel economy standards to 31.6 miles per gallon by 2015. The DOT's estimate was based on gas prices now and 2015 that ranged between $2.04 a gallon and $3.37 a gallon. Gas prices were already over $3 a gallon when Transportation Secretary Mary Peters released the proposal in April and still hover above $3.50 per gallon in most parts of the country. The EPA also said the DOT undervalued the societal value of better fuel economy by failing to consider the costs of climate change. "EPA has several concerns with the methodology used to determine the relative benefits and costs of the alternatives analyzed," Susan Bromm, director of EPA's Office of Federal Activities, said in the letter to DOT.
Science Overlooked 11 Cell Phone Studies, Critics Charge
Science, the nation's leading general science journal, erred when it said only two studies showed DNA damage from cell phone use, Microwave News charged last week. The Science article, which said both studies were under investigation for relying on falsified data, failed to mention eleven other peer-reviewed journal articles showing changes in DNA breaks from cell phone use, and three others showing chromosomal changes in response to cell phone radiation. The articles date from 1998 through 2008, and show a range of effects including damage to mouse sperm cells and human lymphocytes, and possible increased breakage of human DNA. Microwave News is a frequent critic of the cell phone industry.
Odds and Ends
A new study in the British Medical Journal suggests the drug industry may not be generating much additional sales from direct-to-consumer advertising . . . . Washington University in St. Louis, whose chancellor sat on a committee for the Association of American Medical Colleges that called for stronger institutional conflict of interest policies, announced it will set up a 19-member committee to formulate SUCH a conflict of interest policy. One week ago the National Institutes of Health sent reminders to universities to establish policies that protect "federally-funded research from compromise by [financial conflicts of interest]." . . . Rusi P. Taleyarkhan of Purdue University had his "named professor" title removed and lost $25,000 in additional pay after the university upheld findings of misconduct in his nuclear fusion research, according to the New York Times . . . . The New Statesman review of an archive containing nearly one million documents showed the asbestos industry exposed millions of people to asbestos knowing its dangers and used PR firms and politicians to hide a truth that it had secretly known since 1961 that "the only really safe number of asbestos fibers in the work environment is nil" . . . .
Cheers and Jeers
* Cheer to the New York Times and the Associated Press for including in a story on molecular breast imaging that the study was paid for by Bristol-Myers Squibb as well as Susan G. Komen for the Cure Foundation.
* Jeer to network anchors Charles Gibson, Katie Couric, and Brian Williams for appearing on the hour-long "Stand Up for Cancer" telethon that ran on all three national networks last Friday. The group's goal is a sharp increase in funding for cancer research. Among the many unproven statements made during the hour: All men over 50 should get an annual prostate exam, even though the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force recently issued a report questioning its usefulness to men over 75. Tip of the hat for this jeer and his noting of other media and drug industry connections to the telethon to University of Minnesota journalism professor Gary Schwitzer, publisher of HealthNewsReview.org.

News item from 2012
Autumn 2012: Exhibitions and Displays
Coming Soon:
College Commissions: All Souls & New College 2012
Display | 13 September – 28 October 2012 | Gallery 59 | Admission Free
All Souls College honours 27 members of its non-academic staff in a bold figurative painting by Benjamin Sullivan. Inspired by medieval altarpieces, it takes the form of a large triptych and echoes the styles of the artists Ford Madox Brown, Stanley Spencer and David Hockney. In contrast, New College's abstract commission "A Dance To the Music of Time" presents 6 woven tapestries by the artist Jeni Ross. Designed for the Founders Library, the pieces take inspiration from the work of Bauhaus artist Johannes Itten, using 12 shades of blue to represent music and the passing of time.
Happy Birthday Edward Lear: 200 Years of Nature and Nonsense
Exhibition | 20 September 2012 – 6 January 2013 | Galleries 58 & 61 | £4 / £3 Concessions
To celebrate the bicentenary of Edward Lear (1812–1888) the Ashmolean is holding an exhibition covering all aspects of his work. From early natural history illustrations and extraordinary landscape sketches, to the nonsense drawings and verses for which Lear is so well known, the exhibition draws on the Ashmolean's own collection, one of the largest and most important in the UK, and includes significant loans from the Bodleian Library and private collections.
Lady Impey's Bird Paintings
Display | 16 October 2012 – 16 February 2013 | Gallery 29 | Admission Free
Painted by traditional Indian artists from Patna, these remarkable large scale studies of Indian and exotic birds were commissioned at Calcutta around 1780 by Mary, Lady Impey, the wife of the Chief Justice Sir Elijah Impey. The Impeys kept an extensive aviary and menagerie at their home, from which the artists could draw their observations. Most of the paintings in this display are by the highly gifted Shaikh Zain ud-Din, who successfully combined the refined technique of Mughal art with the latest European conventions of scientific natural history painting.
Gold Coinage in Britain
Display | From 22 Oct 2012 – 2013 | Gallery 1 | Admission Free
Explore the importance of gold in British history - the origin of the precious metal, the administrative and technical aspects of minting, and the design of finished coins.
Threads of Silk and Gold: Ornamental Textiles From Meiji Japan
Exhibition | 9 November 2012 – 27 January 2013 | Galleries 57, 59 & 60 | £6 /£4 Concessions
Many of us are aware of the beauty of the traditional Japanese kimono: Threads of Silk and Gold introduces the less familiar but equally spectacular ornamental textiles that were made in Japan for the foreign market in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Intricate embroideries and tapestries, dyed silks and velvets entranced Western audiences with their sophisticated designs and brilliant craftsmanship. The exhibition highlights Meiji textiles from the newly-acquired collection of the Sannenzaka Museum in Kyoto, one of the finest and most comprehensive collections of its type in existence.
Ongoing Displays:
Jenny Saville At The Ashmolean
Display | Until 16 September 2012 | Gallery 43 | Admission Free
Concurrent with a major exhibition of her work at Modern Art Oxford, the Ashmolean is displaying two new works by Jenny Saville on the theme of 'mother and child', taking inspiration from Leonardo da Vinci. Two of Saville's large drawings will be displayed in the Museum's Renaissance gallery as an 'interaction' with the Ashmolean's permanent collections.
Faster Higher Stronger: Money and the Olympic Games
Display | Until 19 October 2012 | Gallery 7 | Admission Free
This special display shows coins, banknotes and medals concerning the Olympic Games from
historical and modern times, focusing on the themes of venue, events and trophies. It also
explores how the Olympic Games of the classical world were appropriated by the modern Olympic movement.
Unfolding Nature: Images of Summer in Chinese & Japanese Fan paintings
Display | Until 7 October 2012 | Gallery 29 | Admission Free
Folding fans have long been used to keep people cool in Asia. Carried by men as well as women, fans were important symbols of status and identity and they were often carefully decorated with smallscale paintings or calligraphic inscriptions. This display of Chinese and Japanese fan prints from the Museum's reserve collections includes a selection of fans designed for the hot summer months.
Contemporary Chinese Art from the Sullivan Collection
Display | Until 27 January 2013 | Gallery 11 | Admission Free
The Sullivan Collection is one of the most important groups of modern and contemporary Chinese art in the west, belonging to the leading scholar on Chinese art, Prof Michael Sullivan. It was last exhibited at the Museum in 2002. This new display features works acquired in the last 10 years, some which have never been shown before. A companion exhibition will be held in Beijing in the autumn at the National Art Museum of China which will be the first time the collection is shown to the Chinese public.

Henrico's Top Teachers
Profiles of 20 outstanding Henrico educators
Teachers are a special breed. They are driven by a love of learning and a desire to impact young lives. They spend countless hours devising lesson plans, working individually with students before and after school and volunteering their time, seeking not recognition for their efforts but rather the smile of a student whose imagination has been captivated; a hug from a student who needs one in return; or the words of thanks from a student whose mind has grasped a challenging topic.
In the Henrico Citizen's first-annual 'Top Teachers' issue, we honor 20 of the finest educators in Henrico, as nominated by our readers. These are their stories.

Rated 5 out of 5 by LadyDi13 Great little dishcloths! These colorful and absorbent dishcloths are exactly what I was looking for!
