As Tony said, it was truly "two for the price of one" on Wednesday night's episode of "Survivor: Cagayan." We saw not one, but two people leave the game: One via the normal Tribal Council exit and the other voluntarily opting out. I spoke to both ousted contestants today, the day after their final episode aired (in case you missed it, here is the full Episode 6 recap).
Lindsey Ogle was one of the first castaways to be recognized this season. After all, it is quite hard to miss her, with her tattoos and flowing dreadlocks. She was a member of the Brawn Tribe, but as the episodes went on, we oddly enough saw less and less of Lindsey. We now perhaps know why: Lindsey would become the latest Survivor quitter, the newest member of the unofficial Survivor Hall of Shame of players that didn't have what it takes to make it through. She had been in a tight alliance with Cliff, but once he was blindsided, her abrasive relationship with Trish blew up into a full-on feud. Lindsey had enough and pulled herself from the game, afraid that she may act out physically toward Trish, who was surely, relentlessly pushing her buttons.
Alexis on the other hand, went out fighting as hard as she knew how. A bona fide "beauty," she was portrayed early on as a ditzy follower to LJ, but even still she seemed like she was in a decent position in the game. That all changed when the tribe switch-up sent her to a new tribe with the likes of Morgan and Jeremiah, two fellow beauties that she didn't have much of a bond with. Although she tried desperately to convince Spencer, Kass and Tasha to keep her in the game over Jeremiah, the Brains ultimately decided that Alexis was the bigger threat, concerned that she would instantly align with Jefra and LJ should they enter into a merge.
Today I spoke to Lindsey and Alexis - who both were on the same call - about Lindsey's decision to quit, Alexis's emotional exit, and both of their times in the game.
Tom Santilli, Survivor Examiner: Hello Alexis, hello Lindsey!
Lindsey Ogle: Hello!
Alexis Maxwell: Hi!
Tom Santilli: I'll start off with Lindsey. So you had mentioned a number of reasons why you decided to quit the game and you were shown as never really getting along with or liking Trish. But can you explain the timing, of deciding to quit when you did?
Lindsey: I think it was just a heightened situation. I mean, I'm getting a lot of responses from people. No one can really say anything to me that I haven't already thought of myself. There's so much information that is compacted into each one of the episodes, you really can't spend a whole lot of time on every single little detail. Let's just say it wasn't just a 20-second argument with her calling me names and then me calling her names and then whatever. I mean that's the most childish thing I've ever heard. It was more of that constant badgering. I think it's something that a lot of others go through, maybe more than some people would like to admit, but there's always somebody that's going to say something awful, or negative, or hateful to you, and it's what you do with it. It was just to the point where I just said, you know what? I don't need this. This is going to get physical. And I'm sorry but you're going to be on the short end of the stick. So when you have that power, to end up walking away as the bigger person even though all of that ridiculous high school drama we had shared, it gave me my power back. It takes a lot of courage to walk away from a fight. It takes more to walk away from a fight you know you're going to win. It takes the most courage to walk away from a fight you know you can win, and there is a chance to win a million dollars. Overall it sucks, but there's a seven year-old kid back home watching these episodes and I have to think of her. I've got to think, am I setting a good example? At that point in the game, I just thought am I going to send the right message?
Tom Santilli: Knowing that this episode was coming and knowing that you'd have to speak to the press, were you dreading it? Through the history of quitters on Survivor - Jeff Probst even - has normally reacted quite harshly. How has the reaction been thus far?
Lindsey: Well, there was a certain awareness that came over me when I made the decision that I made. I knew there was going to be some nay-sayers. Of course there's going to be somebody, there's always somebody who is looking to get attention from somebody who is on a reality TV show. People say hateful things just to bring attention to themselves. But usually those are the same people eating potato chips and watching from their couch, ready to go to their waterbeds and take a nice sleep with their teddy bear. So I really don't have anything to say about the negativity. But I will say that I've received a ton of support from moms, especially single moms, which is crazy to me. When you are that one who has to lead by example, sometimes the best decisions are the hardest ones. So do I have any regrets? Absolutely not. Of the millions of viewers who watch this awesome show, there was only one in particular that I was thinking of, and she's seven. She's my daughter. She thinks that I hung the moon. Who am I to snap on a skinny old lady and punch her in the face and rip her throat out? Like that's ridiculous. I can't be doing things like that. Maybe in my younger years (laughs), when I didn't have a daughter. Maybe my response could have been...well I know my response would have been a lot different. Sometimes you have to make decisions that are best for someone else and not for yourself.
Tom Santilli: I also saw on your CBS.com interview held the night you quit, that you said, quote: "I don't think that I'm a person who should be on Survivor." What did you mean by that exactly? What does it take to be on Survivor and what was it that you didn't possess?
Lindsey: I'm sorry I'm not familiar with that interview. I'd have to take a look at it first and see what context it's in. [NOTE: The interview appears here on CBS.com and the quote comes at about 4:37]. I think I'm a perfect person for entertainment for sure. I'm fiesty and I have a very unique look about me. I don't recall that interview, I'd like to take a look at it and give you a better response. All I can say is that maybe for that time, the format is different. I think it shows through that I was one of the most competitive women out there. I definitely would have to say, for the collective 12 minutes that I was on this season, I'd have to say that I was pretty entertaining. I definitely caught a lot of people's attention, whether they liked me or not, they were talking about me.
Tom Santilli: OK! So let's go over to Alexis now. So Alexis, in your CBS.com interview, you mentioned that you thought you made a number of "rookie mistakes." What were they in your opinion?
Alexis: Oh, there's so many! (Laughs) I did so many things wrong. But one of the major things is that I was very upfront with my connection with Jefra with LJ. Actually not really with LJ, I tried to downplay that a lot. I thought that it was helping me, so that they could see me as two people, two numbers. But in their heads, if I can bring Jefra in that easily why can't Jefra bring me in that easily? I didn't think of the worst-case scenario and I should have. I should have had more of a pessimistic approach. Just thinking the best option would happen for myself is such as rookie mistake. As a fan, I really should have known better.
Tom Santilli: Were they correct though, in targeting you before Jeremiah? Would you have gone back with LJ and Jefra or would you have been tight with the Brains?
Alexis: I definitely would not have flipped. That would be so dumb, because you would already lose five jury votes, and people just wouldn't get over it. So you lose if you flip. I don't think Jeremiah understood that. I wouldn't have flipped, but I do think that I would have been in a better position post-merge, because I don't think the other five people would necessarily target me right away. So I would have been in a good spot, but I would definitely not have flipped.
Tom Santilli: We saw Morgan flash a big smile when you were voted out last night. What was your dynamic with Morgan that made you unable to have a tighter, closer relationship with her in the game?
Alexis: That smile was so funny! (Laughs) For some reason girls like Morgan just find genuine happiness in my downfall (laughs). Like the bane of my existence. We didn't really talk that much on the island and we didn't really have negative tension, so it was kind of wierd. That's why I connected so much with Jefra, because she was very happy in her life without extrinsic factors. Like Jefra would never revel in somebody else's misfortunes. That's why I connected with Jefra and probably why I didn't connect with Morgan that much.
Tom Santilli: Of everyone that you interacted with out there, who do you feel that you underestimated the most?
Alexis: I think Spencer for sure. When I was out there, I had the perception of him as being sort of Kass and Tasha's third-wheel. And really not making too many decisions on his own. Even if that had been true, that was a pretty good spot to be in. I just really didn't think that he was out for me as much as he was. I thought he would have connected with me more than we were. We had a lot in common and were at sort of the same point in our lives, so I just thought that we had more of a connection than we obviously did.
Tom Santilli: It was sad to watch how devastated you were after being voted out. Now knowing that the merge was about to happen, does it make your exit any harder to swallow?
Alexis: I knew that the merge was the next day, just because I could tell how the numbers were playing out. That whole Tribal Council I was just thinking about how proud I was that I made the merge and that I'd be in a great spot post-merge. So I really thought that I was safe and that I was sitting comfortably. So it was a true blindside and it hurt that much worse when my name was written down one million times. So it was truly heart-breaking for me. It felt worse than getting dumped by someone.
Tom Santilli: I'm sure that's not something you've had to experience that often! I know that Lindsey is on the call and it may be awkward, but I wanted to ask what you thought once you heard that Lindsey had quit the game.
Alexis: Well you can't know anybody else's circumstances, so I knew nothing about the Brawn tribe dynamic. So I would have never quit, but also like she said, she's a Brawn, she's a fire-cracker. If she thought that things were going to get physical or things like that, then that's her reasoning. I could never get physical, because I would lose (laughs). So that's just adding to the reasons I wouldn't quit. But my heart was so invested in it and I'm only 22 years-old now and I'm not in a spot where, like, the game doesn't matter to me. The game really does matter to me. And being a super-fan, I'm so emotionally attached to the game and invested in it, that I don't think there's anything that could have happened that would have made me leave the game.
Tom Santilli: You're a student. What are you going to school for has your time on Survivor changed or altered your career path at all?
Alexis: I'm studying organizational change in psychology, so really the organizational change is like management consulting. So I'm interested in anything consulting-wise, business management-wise. Everyone thinks I'm dumb because of the show, and I do say a lot of dumb things (laughs). But I do have a whole other side of me that I don't necessarily need to show in my casual, social life. I'm very focused and I'm definitely still on track to do everything that I would have done pre-Survivor. So I haven't lost my focus or my determination. I'm still doing well in school even though I have some distractions, but I'm very focused still.
For even more, be sure to watch Alexis's day after interview to the upper or left of this column.

Customer Reviews
Ok, I bought this on an impulse and I must say that this blows it out of the water. I am in no means a pro but just adding smoke to some of the most beginner of tricks like a thumbtip vanish or even a Svengali Deck routine drives the WOW factor through the roof. Amazing gadget. Now where are those colored smoke refills?!
If you own Pure Smoke, make sure you pick up 2 of these. They last a long time, but the trick is so much fun that you will want to make smoke appear all the time. Get backups!
I adore the device! It can make a simple flourish seem impossible and some routines that i thought sometime seemed a bit too dull became so much better. If you have a bit of showmanship you can make this into the most amazing prop ever. The only drawback i have found is: The wires within the tubing (the black wire to be more specific) Tends to get loose if you're not careful. So if you're wearing the device and got very long arms or the tubing somehow can get pulled no sudden big movements. With that in mind i can't say anything but good things about it

Christmas is behind you, the decorations are packed away (yeah..right!) and you have your current New Year's Resolution firmly in place. Everything is rolling along at a smooth and wonderful pace. That is….until you head out to the mailbox one day and are greeted with tidings from your dear friends at the credit card companies!
A slightly unpleasant reality, but one that most of us have faced, especially if we have not taken the time now to create a realistic budget for our holiday shopping.

This year will be one to celebrate for Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, the film company better known as MGM. 2014 marks the 90th anniversary of the film studio, and the festivities have already begun. Today in Hollywood, MGM's famous feline icon Leo the Lion was the guest of honor at a paw print ceremony at the TCL Chinese Theater. Sylvester Stallone was also in attendance for the event, which kicked off a full year of commemorative plans.
Special 4K resolution restorations of signature MGM titles will be released sometime this year. Titles including "Rocky", "Rain Man", "Fargo", "RoboCop", and "The Good, The Bad and The Ugly" are available for pre-order on Amazon. However, no release date has been listed as of this writing. The studio also announced that films such as "In the Heat of the Night", "A Chorus Line", and "The Birdcage" would hit Blu-Ray for the first time.
MGM also announced a Tumblr site, which they touted as the first of its kind to celebrate a studio's full film library. The site was live as of press time, and featured links to YouTube videos and imagery from some of MGM's most popular and successful films on its front page. The studio will also celebrate its art via the paper medium: a collector's book is on the way. The book will feature interviews with such stars as Stallone, Clint Eastwood and Susan Sarandon and Geena Davis of "Thelma & Louise." A bonus video disc will also be included with the book.
A special MGM 90th anniversary trailer will play in theaters throughout the year, as well as on MGM's movie network and across social media. The trailer shows clips of many of MGM's biggest films, which have garnered 14 Best Picture Oscars and over 175 overall in nearly a century. Gary Barber, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of MGM, commented on the studio's milestone:
"What a supreme honor it is to preside over a company with such an unparalleled legacy. It's remarkable to have this opportunity to reflect on MGM's amazing achievements in film history while also looking ahead to MGM's bright and promising future."

DC Resistance: 7.8K | Inductance: 4.75H
Neck: Standard bobbins over-wound with standard-gauge magnet wire. The resulting tone is slightly fuller and hotter than a TV Classic neck.
DC Resistance: 5K | Inductance: 2.24H
TONE / Characteristic:
TV Classic on steroids. Overall slightly darker - punchy mids and clean treble. Gibson-like with Filter'Tron™ overtones. Works well if coil splitting is desired.

Safety violations reported at Castle Hayne nuclear facility
Published: Tuesday, July 3, 2012 at 6:20 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, July 3, 2012 at 6:20 p.m.
Global Nuclear Fuels–Americas has reported two safety violations at its Castle Hayne fuel assembly facility as a result of mid-February problems with a fuel pellet press operation.
The GE Hitachi Nuclear operation's initial evaluation of the incident indicated it was not "reportable" to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, spokesman Christopher White said. "A subsequent inspection conducted by the NRC on April 30 contradicted that initial evaluation."
"As an administrative remedy, (Global Nuclear) reported the incident to the NRC on June 29 in a reply to (the commission's) notice of violation," White said in an emailed statement, adding, "At no time was the public, our employees or the environment in danger."
The NRC posted Global Nuclear's report on its website Monday, providing the first public notice of the incident.
"This matter is considered closed." NRC spokesman Joey Ledford said, noting the two severity level IV violations were "our lowest cited violation (level)."
"Global has already corrected the problem … and has taken corrective actions to make sure the problem does not recur," he said.
The first violation occurred when Global Nuclear workers did not follow procedure when restarting equipment, allowing 43 kilograms of uranium powder into a feed tube, exceeding the 36-kilogram limit. The second violation occurred when the first was not reported, the NRC staff ruled.

I'll say it again, if we can't pay attention to the details and understand the fundamentals of government at the lowest levels, how can we ever hope to get a grasp on the national level and understand the real problems we're facing? Last week I talked a little about the responsibility to pay attention to the government and exercise your rights to know what's going on.
The easiest way to get involved in government is to go to the meetings. I know what most people think: How will you ever find time to squeeze a meeting in? I've got kids to feed, activities to participate in and I really need...

HOT based Fist/Blood healing with Damage Builder:
The build is:
In general, this build is the counterpart of the one listed above. However, instead of healing with burst healing, you are healing with use of dots. There are a number of folks out there who really like the effects of Creature Comfort and Radiance combined, which require a different load-out of passives. By removing the direct healing from this build, you free up a few passive slots. These can be replaced as you wish, however I just included Sublety into the build.

The Edmonton Journal ·
EDMONTON - They came to tell their stories, expressing fear, anguish and anger.
There were tears and knowing nods, as 130 Albertans of Chinese ancestry came to listen and talk about the hated head tax imposed on parents, uncles and aunts by a discriminating Canadian government early in the last century.
"We built the railroad, the backbone of this country. And there's never been any recognition of that," said Jim Yee, following a meeting with MP Jason Kenney at the Royal Alberta Museum Saturday afternoon.
The meeting is one of several being held across the country by Kenney, parliamentary secretary for multiculturalism, and Heritage Minister Beverley Oda.
They are hearing from Chinese-Canadians on their views about redress for the head tax on Chinese immigrants between 1885 and 1923.
Several members of the Yee family, including their elderly mother, Lorna Yuen Yee, who is 83 and in a wheelchair, came to the meeting. Lorna's late husband, George Jow Mun Yee, who died in 1978, was among those who paid the head tax to enter Canada.
The tax was imposed only on Chinese, not any other immigrants.
John Yee said his mother is pleased to hear that the federal government will formally apologize for the head tax, and offer some form of compensation.
A few years ago, the Yees, including Lorna, made a trek back to Canton, to see their father's birthplace. He was separated from his family, never returning there, after emigrating to Canada as a 13-year-old boy.
"An uncle told us that my father's mother looked out for him to return every day, and he never got back. She looked for him every day, for 35 years, and never saw him again," Jim Yee said.
George Yee worked as a market gardener and spoke little to his family about the discrimination he suffered, or the head tax he had to pay. Many Chinese worked to repay borrowed money with which they paid the tax.
The tax started at $50, but rose to $500 by 1903.
Many could not afford to bring other family members to Canada as a result.
"All of us had some discrimination growing up, but nothing like my father suffered," John Yee said.
The Yees said they would like to see more education about the head tax and have a chapter added to history books and taught in school.
"It's like something is missing. Nobody wants to admit it happened. There must be so much shame," Jim Yee said.
Ninety-four-year old James Marr paid the head tax, and while he was too infirm to attend the meeting, his daughter, Mae, was there on his behalf.
"He never talked about it," she said. All the same, he will be pleased that the government is saying it is sorry, she said.
Kenney said the government will move quickly on the apology and a compensation formula. Something will be in place by July 1, which many Chinese consider the anniversary of infamy when the tax was originally imposed.
"We heard some very heart-breaking stories about families that were divided, people that suffered economically," Kenney said. "You had families split up sometimes for decades, children that didn't ever know their fathers, wives and husbands that were separated for 20 years or more. Thousands and thousands of Chinese-Canadians experienced this.
"It's amazing that they had enough patience to stick with this country and get past this era of institutional discrimination," Kenney said.
Chinese-Canadians have sought redress for years.
Kenda Gee, spokesman for the local Chinese Head Tax and Redress Committee, said those at the meeting voted about 95 per cent in favour of a settlement with the government.
While the government has yet to indicate what form compensation will take, many Chinese-Canadians believe the estates of those who paid the head tax should be awarded $20,000.
It is estimated that more than 15,000 Chinese came to Canada at the time to build the Canadian Pacific Railway, and about 4,000 died during the construction through the Rockies.
It is believed that fewer than 300 people who paid the head tax are still alive.

Yararacusu is a piece of experimental physical theatre based on a story by Horacio Quiroga, a Uruguayan writer who lived in the jungles of northern Argentina and whose life was devoted to his children and a search for simplicity. The piece combines elements of theatre, dance, scultpure and live music, and takes inspiration from the indoor and outdoor landscapes in which it takes place.
Yararacusu is currently on tour and winding its way around a variety of interesting locations. The project was initiated as part of the Gaelforce Festival in Dumfries and Galloway, beginning in an agricultural yard at the site of an ancient hospital for the mentally ill. It has been seen on the shores of Easdale Island, in the monumental architecture of the National Museum and the crowded streets of Castle Douglas.
Oceanallover are the current incarnation of a company first formed in 1990 by its director, Alex Rigg.
In 1997 the company reinvented itself as Transfigured, a multidisciplinary group making work of all scales and in all media. In 1998 Transfigured made 'A Language of Others' at Tramway in collaboration with Cryptic and in the same year made the Mid-Summer Fire Festival for NVA as part of Britain's day at the Lisbon Expo.
Recent commissions include sculpture, performance and costume designs for 'Painful Creatures', a production from the Glasgow-based company Mischief La Bas touring Britain and Europe. Other work has included event design and team development for Diageo plc, site-specific performance intervention for The Mega Mango Festival in Mumbai and residencies, performance and teaching for Dance Base in Edinburgh and the Society of Scottish Artists.

Friendly owners, excellent accommodation and a great breakfast!
I stayed in this excellent Guest House whilst working with Visit Scotland.
I a self-employed professional Scottish Blue Badge Guide and was accompanying a group of German-speaking travel agents who were staying in Crieff Hydro Hotel. I had a very comfortable single room with wash basin and exclusive use of a shower room with toilet. The owners were very accommodating and the guest house was tastefully decorated, warm and cosy. Breakfast was substantial. The Guest House is very well-situated and there is on-street parking. It is just a few minutes walk from Crieff town centre. There is a pub a few doors along and a supermarket within 5 minutes walk, I am very happy to recommend it.

Brandi Glanville of "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" is upsetting everyone including her cast mates with the way that she has been acting lately. On Jan. 5, Radar Online shared that the other women on the show are disgusted by her actions.
A source close to the cast is speaking out and saying that Brandi just doesn't know when to stop. She is taking her racist comments way too far. Brandi continues to be rude to everyone and doesn't even seem to realize that she needs to apologize. They are all tired of it from her.
This source named Kyle Richards, Kim Richards, Lisa Vanderpump, and Joyce Giraud as all people that spoke out that they are not happy with the way she has been acting. They are worried it will hurt ratings and look bad on all of them. It is actually doing that already. Joyce Girad already said that Brandi kisses up to the producers so she will look better. You can read more about it at this link.
Don't miss a new episode of "RHOBH" tonight on Bravo.
Please like my Facebook for the latest in "Real Housewives" news.
Update: Joyce and Yolanda will argue about it all tonight. Yolanda is on Brandi's side. Read more here.

College Hockey:Quick Goals Lead Providence Over Massachusetts
PROVIDENCE, R.I. — There's a well-known maxim in hockey that goals in the last minutes of the period can be huge lifts or incredible deflators. Tonight, down 3-1 with 1:39 to play in the first period, Providence notched two goals within 25 seconds en route to a 5-3 victory against Massachusetts.
Friar co-captain Jon DiSalvatore was the first to light the lamp in the flurry. The senior converted on a loose puck down low with the assists going to fellow Coyotes, Bryan Horan and Peter Zingoni. The score marked DiSalvatore's second of the night and 11th of the season, pushing him towards the top of the national scoring race with 36 points.
Before the official scoring could be announced, senior winger Mike Lucci chipped in his third goal of the year on a terrific individual effort, driving hard to the net and putting the puck through UMass goalie Tim Warner.
Even the eventual game winner came off the stick of Devin Rask with 1:04 left in the second period.
"The two goals at the end of the first period were the game for us," said Providence coach Paul Pooley. "Devin's goal in the last minute of the second period was another one of the tremendous keys. The second period is a swing period in the momentum game and, as we know very well, surrendering a goal in the last minute of a period can be a killer."
"[Of our weaknesses] We're not physically strong enough," said UMass coach Toot Cahoon. "We do not defend well enough; our defensive integrity is marginal at best. All the teams ahead of us in the standings, and at the top of the league, turn up the heat defensively first and are able to shut you down.
"We gave a lot of easy goals away after we worked hard to get goals."
The momentum clearly put the Friars in the driver's seat as they scored four unanswered goals before things were done.
Rask continued a seven-game scoring streak, adding an assist to his goal.
"I've been getting a ton of chances and they are starting to pop in. I'm getting three or four good chances a game and that's a result of hard work from my line," said Rask.
Not to be outdone, Peter Fregoe closed out the Providence triple threat with the nail in the coffin at 17:32 in the third period.
The Minutemen, dubbed by some the cardiac kids, made it a contest of huge swings in momentum. Down 1-0 less than a minute in the first period, UMass responded in a big way. Thomas Pock and Tim Tuner notched their 13th scores of the year and Greg Mauldin added his 15th goal of the season in a 10-minute span to give the Minutemen a commanding 3-1 lead less than halfway through the first period.
"I'm not worried about all that much," said Cahoon. "We just need to get better. That's gonna start in practice; it's going to continue with recruiting. Anyone who doesn't think we are a work in progress is wrong."
Nolan Schaefer withstood the early onslaught and remained solid in net for Providence. The senior netminder stopped 29 of 32 and the win brings his record to 8-6 on the season. On the other side, Tim Warner, starting in just his fourth game of the season, was only able to make 24 saves on 29 shots. The best save of the night, however, was not made by either goaltender. Continuing the theme of strong play from seniors, Friar defenseman Shawn Weiman made a terrific stop, stacking the pads and sliding across the crease to preserve the two-goal lead and the victory.
"Whether it be from DiSalvatore, Rask, Fregoe, Schaefer or even Weiman, we got great play from our seniors stepping it up tonight," said Pooley. "After the game I challenged the seniors to take the team on their backs and carry it to the next level. In my experience during championship runs at Lake Superior, the seniors always played their best hockey at this time of year, no matter what type of season they were having."
UMass and Providence both lost a chance to gain ground on Boston University for the last home-ice spot in the Hockey East Quarterfinals. The Minutemen lead the Friars for fifth place by one point, but Providence has two games in hand against UMass. Providence looks to continue its winning ways against Massachusetts-Lowell and New Hampshire next Friday and Sunday, while the Minutemen face BU and Mass.-Lowell on Friday and Saturday.

In 1973, Philadelphia Eagles football player, Fred Hill, and his wife, Fran, learned that their daughter, Kim, had leukemia. During their experience of traveling into Philadelphia for treatment at the Children's Hospital, they met other families with sick children in a similar situation. Families who drove hours to the hospital to be with their children, were sleeping overnight in waiting room chairs and eating from vending machines because they had nowhere else to go. Fred Hill and his football team decided to do something for these families...build them a 'home away from home' in Philadelphia. The Philadelphia Eagles teamed up with local McDonald's owner/operators to raise money to purchase and restore a house near the hospital where these families could stay. Hence, the first Ronald McDonald House was born. Since that time, nearly 300 Houses have been built worldwide.
The Kansas City Chapter of RMHC was established by a group of committed volunteers in 1980 with the opening of the 27th Ronald McDonald House in 1981with capacity for eleven families. RMHC - Kansas City has operated facilities serving children & families for nearly 30 years. Today we operate three Houses adjacent to Hospital Hill in Kansas City, MO. The Ronald McDonald House on Cherry Street, located at 2501 Cherry Street, opened in 1988. In 2006, RMHC increased its capacity to serve families when it opened a new Ronald McDonald House in Longfellow Park located at 2502 Cherry Street. In 2015, the Wylie House opened at 2525 Cherry Street to house 20 additional families.Together, the Houses provide temporary lodging for 80 families each night while their children undergo vital medical care. Twelve suites at the Longfellow House allow us to serve immuno-suppressed children and their families (i.e. organ and bone marrow transplants). Our homes offer a warm and welcoming place to sleep, as well as full kitchen facilities, laundry facilities, living rooms and recreation areas to provide a homey environment where families may relax away from the stresses of the hospital and meet other families experiencing similar crises. Our Ronald McDonald Family Room, located within Children's Mercy Hospital, opened its doors in March of 1997 bringing the comforts of home inside the hospital, providing support and respite for in-patient pediatric families. The Family Room offers seven sleeping/napping rooms to families with patients in the Intensive Care Units, and a kitchen, showers, quiet room, family conversation area with television and a small reference library. Each day, Children's Mercy nursing staff from the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit, the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, Bone Marrow Transplant, and Burn Unit work closely with us to triage which seven families are in the most critical situation for that evening, and need to spend the night at the Family Room. The concept of a Ronald McDonald Family Room was pioneered in Kansas City and since its inception has spread to nearly 200 worldwide.
The first Kansas City Ronald McDonald House began with the purchase and renovation of a 3-story 1920s colonial home near KU Medical Center and St. Luke's Hospital.
First Kansas City Ronald McDonald House opened its doors with 11 bedrooms on September 19.
Ronald McDonald House Charities began building the second Ronald McDonald House at 25th and Cherry Streets.
The Cherry Street House opened on September 19 with room to accommodate 19 families.
The Ronald McDonald Family Room in KU Medical Center opened - the first in the world.
The Ronald McDonald Family Room in Children's Mercy Hospital opened with 7 bedrooms. This was designed for local families and those whose child is so severely ill that going more than a few steps away feels like miles.
The Ronald McDonald House in Longfellow Park opened on Feb. 14. This House is just across the street from the House on Cherry Street and has 29 guest bedrooms and 12 long-term suites.
The Wylie House - the third Ronald McDonald House in Kansas City - opens its doors on Feb. 12 to provide a home away from home to 20 additional families every night.

Jacki Marsh, of Rabbask Designs, became a client of the LCBD in the beginning of July, 2014. Jacki had her unique, hand-crafted, jewelry in galleries all over the United States. Each piece of her jewelry is one of a kind; using stones and beads from around the world. When she came to the LCBD she was ready to purchase a building that was for sale on 4th Street, to sell her jewelry locally. There were many issues with the lending process of acquiring the particular business site that she had her heart set on. The LCBD worked with Jackie tirelessly, and was able to help her get her financing. Jackie is a very gracious member of the Loveland community and offers her space to other artists; she now has over 50 artists in her gallery located at 243 4th Street in Loveland.
Tammy Prestien, of Avani, LLC, is rather new to the Loveland Center for Business Development (LCBD). Mary Ann Huffines discovered Tammy at the Winter Market in Fort Collins and invited her to be a vendor at the LCBD Community Marketplace, held twice a year in Loveland. It was a perfect fit, since Tammy lives in Loveland. Tammy had never heard of the LCBD and was anxious to become a client. She began working with the LCBD in March of 2014.
The idea for Avani was born in 2007 after many difficult searches to find a natural soap that did not irritate the eczema that Tammy's young daughter had. It seemed odd to Tammy that a truly pure and natural soap was so hard to find. So, Tammy and Robert decided to try and make it themselves. After more than a few batches they hit upon a base formula that they really liked…and so did their family and friends!
The mission at Avani is to provide the highest quality, all natural, soap and bath products to their customers. They NEVER use any synthetic ingredients.
Kathrin Reams is a hospice nurse who invented and patented a product to help terminal patients keep their mouths closed. Kathrin began working with the LCBD in December of 2010. The original name of her product was WillaWrap, named after her mother. In the beginning of 2014 the product was rebranded to DignityWrap™.
From the BridgMed website: http://www.bridgmed.com/dignity-wrap-.html: In early 2014, BridgMed signed an exclusive licensing agreement to manufacture and distribute the DignityWrap™ product. DignityWrap™ is an end of life chin support used to maintain dignity after death by securing a closed mouth for a deceased person. This compassionate gesture promotes comforting final memories for the family.
Texas Health Resources, a non-profit company that operates a network of hospitals and related health facilities in the North Texas region of the United States, began using DignityWrap™ in their postmortem care protocols mid-year, 2014.
Food Cart/Truck Success Stories
Angela Norman came to the LCBD in September of 2013. Angela is an engineer by training, but had a strong desire to open a food truck business that serves healthy food. Angela found a fun truck…anyone see Hoosiers 2? In a previous life, the Seasonal Soup bus was the vehicle that was used in this movie. It was later on used as a school bus for the Dept. of Education in Indiana then recently bought and retrofitted into a food truck. The name of the business is Seasonal Soups, Salads and More. You can find the truck at the Fort Collins food truck rallies and many Loveland events. https://www.facebook.com/pages/Seasonal-Soups-Salads-and-More
The LCBD started working with food cart/truck vendors in 2010. Rick and Diane Janecka came to the LCBD in September 2010 with the idea of building a food cart to sell premium hot dogs and brats. The Janeckas worked tirelessly to learn cash flow projections, develop food costs, and complete their business plan to present for financing. They received financing, built their cart and started selling hot dogs in Loveland in April 2011. You can find The Daily Dawg at the Chilson Center in the late fall and winter months. During the summer Daily Dawg can be found at the farmers' market that the City of Loveland holds at Railroad Park on Sundays. They have also been regular vendors at Grimm Brothers since they started their business. During a recent conversation with Rick, he said Daily Dawg is booked out for the next 5 months. Daily Dawg…"Tasty Dawgs on the Go!"
Billy Daniels, a chef with 20 years experience in corporate food service, came to the LCBD in June 2011. His idea was to utilize his extensive culinary experience to start a mobile food cart business complete with a proprietary product line of sauces. Billy took class after class at the LCBD to augment his cooking skills with the business knowledge that he would need to be a successful business owner. On April 27, 2012 he had his cart ready to go and started Chaulkboard Gourmet Express. One of his specialties is a Philly cheese steak sandwich; you can't get any better, west of Philadelphia! Billy was spotlighted in a Reporter Herald article on May 11, 2013. Billy can be found cooking regularly at High Hops Brewery in Windsor or Grimm Brothers in Loveland. He pulls his food cart behind his yellow mini Cooper to many local events.
Anastasia Alexander has had a thriving catering business since January 2004. Her idea was to operate a food truck to enlarge the service area in which she could deliver her authentic Greek food. In January 2012, the The Giggling Greek hit the road. After her successful launch, she worked with the LCBD to explore financing options and ultimately apply for a bank loan. You can find her food truck at many of Northern Colorado's breweries and outdoor events. Her Spanakopita is out of this world.
Lance Bublitz stopped by the LCBD in April 2012 hoping that he could turn his passion for barbeque and smoking meat into a viable business. His idea was to start small with a food cart. Lance had won BBQ competitions and was ready to try his hand at a small business serving his BBQ and his proprietary barbeque sauces and rubs. Bedrock BBQ's specialties are: chicken, ribs, brisket, pulled pork, pig candy and sauces. Lance launched Bedrock BBQ in January 2013. Lance is a regular food vendor at High Hops and Grimm Brothers Breweries. You can also find him at JAX Outdoor store on most Saturdays during the summer. He will be teaching cooking classes at JAX in the fall of 2013. Bedrock BBQ will be a vendor at Loveland Loves BBQ, Bands & Brews this summer.
Joel and Linda Wentz contacted the LCBD in November 2012. Frustrated at not being able to find high quality diner / roadside grill food that he had come to love around the country, Joel found his calling. Coupled with his background in food service, a food truck seemed to naturally fit the bill. Joel and his wife Linda had many counseling sessions at the LCBD as they worked through the details of what it would take to get financing, cash flow projections, what type entity would work best for them, working with the local health department, etc. The name of their business is The Road Grill and their food truck will be on the road in the beginning of June, 2013. They already have a standing vendor location on Fridays at a local business that employs 700 people and have been asked to join the Longmont Food Truck Rally that is held in Longmont at the Twin Peaks Mall every Saturday. Also look for them at Grimm Brothers and Verboten breweries in Loveland.
The food truck craze started to grow in the Big Apple in 2008. Top Cities for food trucks include San Francisco, Los Angeles, New York City, and Austin, Texas. The trend continues as you see more and more food trucks and carts all over the U.S. This is such a great alternative for people who want to get into the food service business, but don't want the huge expense of brick and mortar.
More Success Stories
Not all the success stories are as impressive as LCBD client, Grimm Brothers – located at 623 Denver Ave. The LCBD has been trying to write a success story for quite some time about how Aaron Heaton and Don Chapman came into the LCBD to get some business advice before they opened Grimm Brothers. Each time it looks like a good time to write about their success they do some new awesome thing like expand their business by building a new larger tap room or win yet another People's Choice Brewery Award at the Gnarly Barley Brewfest (third year in a row for 2012 – how awesome is that!) What you don't hear about is all the hard work these guys did before they opened their doors. They worked diligently, after hours with the LCBD Executive Director – Robin Shukle, to be fully prepared for the business challenges that lay ahead. With great passion comes great risk. Aaron and Don had a lot of skin in the game when it came to financing their venture. They are a shining example of how you can succeed and that due diligence pays off.
Newcomer to the Loveland Breweries, Loveland Aleworks – located at 118 W. 4th Street, would fall into the category of another highly visible LCBD client success. They officially opened on August 10-12th, after a soft opening to work out the kinks. Behind the scenes, Nick Callaway had challenges in opening at the projected start date. They are now full steam ahead and will make Loveland proud as a growing business, strengthening the Loveland downtown area.
The LCBD also works with many individuals carving out one-person businesses in Loveland. Linda Joy is a voice talent – http://lindajoyvoiceover.com, she has been working with the LCBD for quite some time. Linda wrote this testimonial for the assistance she received from the LCBD: "Without the counseling services and support from the Loveland LCBD, I would not have been able to secure a loan to finish building up my business (studio). I am a voice talent, lending my voice to narrations, commentaries, commercials and movies. My kids and I have been able to stay and live in this wonderful community, while I commute to work by connecting via Ethernet with clients from my voice studio here in town."
Linda Joy's voice is known in Europe as the German voice of Jim Henson's Miss Piggy in the Muppet Babies cartoon series. You can hear her voice as some of the fuzzy little hamster-like creatures in Ice Age IV who help Seth the Sloth and his friends fight the 'bad guys'.
Philip Bearly, of Ultramech, LLC – www.ultramech.com, is another individual that the LCBD is proud to work with. Philip's business is designing and selling a piece of machinery, designed to fit on the front end of a wheel loader or motor grader that breaks up ice. Philip has worked with the LCBD since September 2011. Philip is a small business owner willing to do the hard work of figuring out the unpleasant aspect of business…cost accounting, the spread of fixed indirect costs, marketing, etc.
Remington Technologies – www.remingtontech.net, environmental remediation services provider, first contacted LCBD when they were having a difficult time managing their opportunities for growth with their cash flow limitations. The LCBD connected this business with the resources needed to address their small business needs.
As a result of the work with the LCBD, Remington Technologies was connected to the Northern Colorado Economic Development Corporation (NCEDC) as well as the USDA. Through these entities, the business was able to get a USDA small business loan for educational opportunities and business promotion. Most recently, they applied for, and were awarded a Rural Business Enterprise Grant that was offered jointly through the USDA and the NCEDC. This grant was used to contract services for an in-depth business and opportunity analysis which helped identify market opportunities and the most cost effective ways to pursue them. Remington Technologies has grown from 4 employees to 8 employees. In these uncertain economic times, having an employer double their number of employees is definitely a mark of success.
These are just a few of the clients that we are so proud of in their accomplishments. The list of other LCBD success stories is quite extensive; we will attempt to give them the credit they deserve for a job well done in the future.

Hi Mary Ann,
I just want to say a big THANK YOU for making me feel so welcome at the Loveland Center for Business Development and providing me with so much great information! And thank you for the workshop recommendations. The marketing one with Nick was great and I am looking forward to seeing what the others offer. What a great way to kick start my business.
LCBD is a wonderful resource!
Thanks again!

Dear Mary Ann and Robin,
We wanted to express our gratitude to both of you for all of your time, hard work and support to Avani Natural Soaps! In just these last 8 months we went from a small online retail business to now being in ten stores and counting! The resources that you have given us have been phenomenal and we feel like you are working with us and supporting us everyday both during the workday and when you are out in the Community. You are continually finding ways for our company to grow and putting our name out there. We feel with all of your help and support, it has created amazing credibility to the community that we have a superior product to offer.
You both are so awesome at knowing what to do and when and creating the path for that. Your unique skill sets working together create a perfect partnership for businesses to grow. We can't thank you enough and look forward to continuing working with you and see what the future holds!
Thanks again!!

Dear Mary Ann and Robin,
Thank you for the opportunity to promote our Loveland business at the Community Marketplace event on November 15, 2014. This event helped us meet and sell to buyers who want products of high quality that are made in Loveland. That's a good target market for us.
Satori Grill had a great experience! Our specialty food and catering company had strong sales, and there's the potential for continuing business from many of the customers we met. It was also a prime public relations opportunity for our company, and we received lots of positive feedback from the people who tasted our food.
Here are some details about our sales:
- We sold out of our tins of Chaco-La-Tay Mole Rub! We took orders for more, which we'll fill in the next couple weeks.
- We sold 75% of the rest of our inventory at the event.
- Close to 90% of our buyers were new customers.
- Two-thirds of our customers bought more than 1 item.
There were some additional benefits of having a booth, too!
- We talked with two vendors about possibly working together on projects in the future (products at wholesale for catering, for instance).
- A customer approached us to write content about meals for her weekly newsletter.
- We added new names to our email list of customers.
We're glad we participated in this year's Community Marketplace and would do it again! We appreciate that the dollars from these sales stay in our community, supporting our local economy. Thank you for all you do to help Loveland businesses.
Warm regards,
Mary Bahus- Meyer

"Remington Technologies would like to thank the Loveland Center for Business Development for assistance and ongoing support over the past several years. When we first contacted LCBD, we were having a difficult time managing our opportunities for growth with our cash flow limitations. LCBD has taken a personal interest in our business since that day. We truly appreciate the time and energy spent in connecting us with the resources we needed to address our small business needs. I am grateful that our community has the valuable resources for any small business through LCBD and I remain eternally grateful that we are able to access their assistance at no charge. I feel strongly that programs such as this should remain available for small businesses in our community as I believe that most new businesses face many of the same challenges we have encountered.
As a result of our work with the LCBD, we were connected to the Northern Colorado Economic Development Corporation as well as the USDA. Both of these entities have continued to support our business through a USDA small business loan, educational opportunities and business promotion. Most recently, we applied for, and were awarded a Rural Business Enterprise Grant that was offered jointly through the USDA and the Northern Colorado Economic Development Corporation. This grant was used to contract services for an in-depth business and opportunity analysis which helped us identify market opportunities and the most cost effective ways to pursue them.
At this time, our business has grown from 4 employees to 8 employees and we are hoping to do more for our community through employment opportunities and a commitment to local business. It never ceases to amaze me how we have evolved and grown since the first day I walked into the LCBD and asked for help.
Many, many thanks to both Robin and Mary Ann for everything they do for small businesses in the Loveland community. Keep up the good work! Your efforts are greatly appreciated."

"Whether we are researching new markets, trying to figure out how to finance new endeavors, or just needing outside advice, Robin and her team are always available to help and their input is priceless. They are constantly introducing us to public and private resources that we would have otherwise never known about, their inexhaustible energy has provided us with critical insight into our own business, their experience has helped us navigate the complexities of being an employer, and their knowledge of what is happening in the local business community has connected us with what have become critical partners. The LCBDC makes us a better business, and I would like to think that we, in turn, contribute to making Loveland a better place."
Christopher McLaughlin

"The Loveland Center for Business Development is an outstanding resource not only for small start-up businesses in Loveland but also existing businesses looking for education and resources to improve their bottom line.
The Quick-Print Shop has been in business for 50 years. But the industry has changed so much that doing business as usual just doesn't work anymore. Today the internet and in-house copiers have reduced the need for printing. The downturn in the economy has made people spend even less on printing with do-it-yourself business cards, postcards and flyers.
I watched both large and small print shops in Northern Colorado close. I wanted to be proactive in trying to make some changes before I joined them. I heard Robin, from the LCBD, speak at a Berthoud Chamber luncheon and was so impressed with her enthusiasm and sincerity in wanting to help local businesses succeed. I made an appointment right away and was instantly put to work charting and understanding my cash flow, meeting with a library resource person who helped me research my industry to see how other printers are adding additional services to increase revenue. They had information to see if my expenses were in line with the rest of the industry. The LCBD offers classes on web design, marketing, and many other topics.
But I think the best thing the LCBD does is connect business owners with each other. Both Robin and Mary Ann are always looking for ways to recommend the Quick-Print Shop to other businesses. They hold business-after-hours where they have introduced me to lots of potential customers. Many times, a new person will walk into our shop and say they were sent over by the LCBD.
In closing, I whole-heartedly appreciate Robin and Mary Ann and all they have accomplished at the Loveland Center for Business Development. Their work is vital to the continued success of small businesses like mine."
Kim Bernhardt
Owner, Quick-Print Shop
"We would not be where we are today without the assistance of the LCBD. Starting with guidance during the discovery phase of our business, and continuing today as we start building our customer base through marketing and sales training, LCBD has been with us every step of the way. We call our LCBD counselor our 'personal trainer" for our business.
Our first interaction with the LCBD was during the process of discerning which of several business concepts to pursue. The process continued with advice on business planning and market research. LCBD provided contacts with other people and Organizations to partner with during the startup phase, and helped us to think creatively as we encountered the inevitable "bumps in the road" during our early months. LCBD also helped us apply for and receive an SBA backed Patriot Express line of credit from a local lender.
With my background in business (I am a C.P.A. and M.B.A.) I was very comfortable with financial planning aspects of the business, but we needed help with marketing and sales. Regular meetings with our LCBD counselor helped us understand the next steps that we needed to take, and kept us accountable to moving forward with our business plan. We received also helpful advice at training classes offered at the LCBD office.
Starting a business can be an amazing, exhilarating, and terrifying experience, but with the help of the LCBD you know there is a team of people engaged in helping you to succeed."
Lucy Morgan
Compliance Warrior & CEO
"I have attended many classes at the various SBDC offices along the front range and the expertise, in-depth knowledge, referral program and friendliness of the LCBD is the best I have experienced! Thank you to Robin for helping me get off to the right start and giving me the confidence I needed, knowing I was doing each step the right way!"

Release Date:
February 12, 2002
This is the definitive Kansas recording and includes their most famous tune, "Dust in the Wind." The band is in peak form and also churned out the single "Point of Know Return," which is still played daily on classic rock stations. While their pop-oriented approach and standard rock guitar sound helped define the classic rock sound of the '70s, careful listening reveals that this band's talent goes beyond colleagues such as Bachman-Turner Overdrive and Boston. Their arrangements and time signatures more accurately reflect the music of Yes and Emerson, Lake Palmer. "Paradox" and "The Spider" are both excellent examples of their progressive approach. Unfortunately, the band always struggled to maintain a healthy balance of progression combined with pop. That made for such awkward moments here as "Portrait (He Knew)" and "Lightning's Hand." Yet despite the minor inconsistencies and a dated sound, their interplay and superior musicianship make this both an essential classic rock and progressive rock recording. The 2002 CD reissue adds two bonus tracks: a live 1978 version of "Sparks of the Tempest" and a remix of "Portrait (He Knew)." Robert Taylor, Rovi

Dec. 6, 1999
LINCOLN, Neb. -- Three nights after matching her career-high, Megan Franza topped it, but it was not enough as Nebraska handed Washington an 89-86 loss in front of 3,020 fans in non-conference action at the Devaney Center.
Franza led all scorers with 26 points, including four three pointers, to better her 24-point performance against Boise State Friday night. Loree Payne added 22 points, including 12-of-14 from the free throw line, and Kellie O'Neill logged her third double-double of the year with 16 points and a game-high 11 rebounds.
Washington drops to 3-5 on the season while Nebraska improves to 3-2. The Cornhuskers were led by all-America candidate Nicole Kubik, who had a double-double with 23 points and 10 assists and also picked off nine steals.
Washington controlled the game early in a fairly even first half. The Huskies opened up by hitting five of their first six shots from the field. Franza hit back-to-back three pointers to give UW an 18-12 lead before the Huskers evened it up at 18 with 11:33 to go. Nebraska took its first lead of the half, 23-22 at 8:44, when they hit four straight free throws. The Huskies answered with their own run and went up by as many as 11 with just under six minutes remaining. Washington led the rest of the way and took a 45-42 lead at the half. The teams shot an identical 45.5 percent (15-33) from the field and were both 12-of-14 from the free throw point to that point.
Then Nebraska took over. The Cornhuskers started the second half on fire, scoring 23 unanswered points in a 25-3 run and taking a 67-48 lead. A three pointer by Loree Payne in the opening minute of the half was the only Husky bucket until a layup by Franza at the 12:21 mark. O'Neill picked up a quick offensive rebound and the Huskies started to chip away at the gap. They trimmed the Husker lead to single digits, 77-68, on another Franza layup at 6:17 and had it down to six points, 78-72, with five minutes to go. It went back and forth from there until Franza added her fourth three pointer of the game to again cut Nebraskas lead to six with 1:32 to play. O'Neill picked up the rebound off a Franza miss to cut it to four, 88-84 with :43 to play. Franza made the final layup of the game, picking up the offensive rebound on a three point miss by Julia Gray with five second to go, to end the Husky scoring at 86.
"Our character was definitely tested today," said UW coach June Daugherty. The game got away from us in the second half, with Nebraska's pressing scheme. The press did what most presses are supposed to do, it made us rushed. We turned the ball over way too many times in the second half. We lost our poise for a few minutes. We tried to settle down and make adjustments. We told the team to get two points at a time on offense and stop them on defense. We'll chip away at it and see what happens. Short of the turnovers, we outrebounded them and we were physical. For a young team like ours, I was proud of what they did. The defense kept playing hard. We learned a great lesson in front of a super crowd."
"As soon as they put in the press, we got rattled," added Franza. "As an upperclassman, especially with such a young team, I need to take better care of things on the court. For a few minutes, we fed their rush. As soon as we got rattled, we needed to huddle, settle down and adjust. I need to pull us together, say this is how it is, and adjust. I knew we had the ability to come back. It showed our heart when we did that. I was proud of the team for realizing what was happening. We dug down deep and chipped away."
Washington takes a short break for final exams and then will host The Seattle Times Husky Classic, Dec. 18-19. Oklahoma State and Portland face each other in the first round, Dec. 18 at 1 p.m. and Idaho and Washington meet in the second game at 3 p.m. Action takes place at Mercer Arena.

User reviews on Last Circus (Balada triste de tompeta)
This is a comedy/horror film directed by Álex de la Iglesia and stars Carlos Areces, Antonio de la Torre and Carolina Bang. If you are afraid of clowns i highly recommend not seeing this film, it will scare you to death. I am not sure if i liked this film, i was really confused about it for a while. The film is very stylish, dramatic and brutal all in the same time. The film is shot in a very unique way and there is a lot of switching between color, black and white and comic book style, it was a bit too much for me visually. By the end, the film becomes kind of repulsive and hard to watch. Overall, this film is definitely not for everyone but if you want to see something very different, I would suggest seeing this movie.
This is a comedy directed by Álex de la Iglesia and stars Carlos Areces, Antonio de la Torre and Carolina Bang. I have no idea if I loved this film or absolutely hated it, I think that was the purpose of the director, to forget the good or bad criteria and just watch the world that he creates. This world is bizzare, full of violence, sex and double or triple meanings. The film is very impressive, i have heard that it had a huge budget and one can definitely see that in this film. The movie is photographed splendidly, it has amazing action scenes and great special effects, it also has some gruesome scenes that were hard to watch. One can definitely see that this film was made with infinate amount of passion, sometimes it works out for the good of the film and sometimes it is way too much. I suggest seeing this film for yourself, it will be a very interesting experience, I promise.

Matisyahu coming to Hawaii for an Island-wide tour c/o BAMP
It's passé, already. The biography of this pop-music icon usually starts with something standard, like: "At first, you think it's some kind of joke - until you hear this guy toast" or "Who is this Amish rapper??" or "Matisyahu is Hebrew for "Matthew!"
Not here, not now. Matisyahu IS.
Yes, the mainstream shrugged him off as some kind of oddity - an Orthodox Jew who can hold his own on old-school beat box - but Matisyahu has earned his keep. At once belting out motivational melodies, then drifting down spirit-first into liquid soul searching, his styles are ever evolving. No one trick pony here. And his highly anticipated release "Light," proves it.
The 2009 release "Light"
2005's "Youth," was only a slight musical departure from his previous indy works, a well polished aura of the live shows his dedicated fans hunger for. Skeptics. true-believers, and those in the indy world who accused him of selling out, all watched in wonder as he rose to new heights - even earning the Grammy Nomination for best Reggae album.
Light is different. And you can see and hear it for yourself Thursday, February 25th at Honolulu's Pipeline Cafe.
Mingling different styles and techniques, Light is rich with sonic color and has an enormous energy. From the in-yo-face thump and lyrical assault ala vocoder, "Smash Lies" oozes classic Matis, and the killer electronics do not detract - rather, enhance the ride.
At the other end of the energy spectrum is "Silence." This gently pulsing trance opens with the Hebrew prayer "Yihyu l'ratzon..." sung with Ashkenazi pronunciation that evokes images of The Rebbe. The lyricism pulls the ego apart at the seams and nestles it safely in the warmth of faith.
Somewhere in the middle is "One Day." It's no fool-hardy leap into schmaltz; on the contrary, this modern power-ballad shimmers with sincerity, yet moves with an undeniable mainstream vibe. So appealing and commercially viable, it's already been used to promote the Olympics
Bottom line, pick up "Light," then get your Matis-on at Pipeline Cafe.

MEDINA — A young Granger man apologized for his actions that led to the deaths last year of two fellow teenagers, whose mother offered him forgiveness in juvenile court today.
Jonathan Slifka, 18, was speeding on April 28, 2010, along Wilbur Road in Granger Township and collided with a car driven by Erin Ehrbar, 16. She and her little brother, Andrew Ehrbar, 13, both died as a result of the accident.
"I'm sorry Mrs. Ehrbar for my fault in all this. You're in my prayers every day, and there's not a day that goes by that I don't think about this," Slifka said in court today to Laura Ehrbar, mother of two siblings who died in the accident last year.
The Ohio Highway Patrol later found both drivers at fault in the accident. Erin Ehrbar failed to yield the right of way and Slifka was speeding, an OHP report said.
Slifka admitted to two counts of vehicular manslaughter last month, and Judge John J. Lohn sentenced him today to three days in jail, which starts April 27.
"This is the day before, the day of and the day after the one year anniversary of this automobile crash," the judge said.
Slifka will also serve two days of house arest. One-day will be on what would have been Erin Ehrbar's 18th birthday, May 2, and the other day is what would have been Andrew Ehrbar's 15th birthday, Aug. 13.
Other punishments for Slifka include indefinite probation, a driver's license suspension until he turns 21 and a 9:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. curfew. He must also make a presentation about the dangers of speeding to others in the juvenile-court system.
Lohn said the Ehrbar family could also participate in that program if they wanted.
Laura Ehrbar held a picture of her children while she told Slifka of the grief that she went through after losing them. However, she said understood that Slifka also went through anguish after the accident.
"I challenge you to find a way to make a difference in the world and make it a better place, something Erin and Andrew had already done on this short time on earth," she said.
In addition, she asked that Slifka seek to keep alive Erin's "bright and playful personality" and Andrew's "most giving heart."
"In return we will give you peace and forgiveness because that is what makes the difference and that is what will make this world a better place," she said.
