SALT LAKE CITY — Recently, we learned that the government seized phone records of reporters hoping to discover leaks and "sources" and perhaps a recommendation for a good sushi place.
We reporters are always receiving exciting phone calls and emails from "secret sources," that is, when we aren't meeting them in underground parking garages in the middle of the night in our matching trench coats and giving each other clever nicknames. (In journalism school there's an entire class devoted to creating nicknames for sources who can tell us top-secret things, such as President Barack Obama's hat size.) It's the kind of stuff that would give any government snoop a thrill.
Spying on the press is more bad news for reporters, although most of them are out of work anyway so they don't care. This government intrusion on a free press could affect our ability to gather news and serve as a "watchdog." Sources will be reluctant to come forward, thus making it nearly impossible to report on important issues such as government corruption, IRS shenanigans or whomever Jennifer Aniston is dating these days.
In the spirit of cooperation, I am publishing my emails here to save the government the trouble of searching for them. Hope they enjoy the read. I'm sure it will be extremely helpful.
Email: Hey, Robinson, your an idiot. — Reader.
Dear Reader: I'd like to offer a friendly correction: It should read, "Hey, Robinson, you're an idiot." Your welcome.
"Doug, where is your column? Deadline was an hour ago!" — Editor.
Dear Editor: What!? You didn't find it? ! Are you sure? Must be a computer glitch. I sent it hours ago, honest. I'll resend it just as soon as I figure out what the problem is.
You call yourself a reporter?? A real reporter reports about something that he actually should know something about. — Reader.
Dear Reader: Oh, well, there's the problem. I'm only a pretend reporter who does this gig as a hobby. I would prefer to report things I actually know something about, but no one cares about pog collecting. (P.S. I won't call myself a reporter anymore.)
Your article (if it can be called an article) was the most pathetic and uneducated piece I have ever read. — Reader.
Dear Reader: Wait, I can do a lot worse. Give me a chance! You should see what I write about the BYU football team. I don't know a tight end from a loose end. (P.S. I won't call it an article anymore.)
It is obvious you don't have a clue about how complex air travel is. — Reader.
Dear Reader: How about this for some clues? I pay hundreds of dollars to hire a business to deliver my person and my suitcases from Point A to Point B at or near a certain agreed upon time. When they fail to deliver any or all of the above because they don't have pilots or a mechanic ready or because they overbooked or because they gave away my seats without bothering to check if my connecting flight was on time, they owe me a full refund, an apology and a free flight to Hawaii. Seems pretty simple to me.
Could you pick up a loaf of bread and some milk on the way home? — Your Wife.
Dear wife: Who is this, really?

Jameson Camp's Youth Leadership program serves teens ages 13 – 18. Selection into the program is based on commitment to participate, dedication to Jameson's mission, maturity, and potential for learning leadership skills.
Teens learn leadership skills such as effective communication, planning, teamwork, leading a group activity, leading younger children and the value of community service. Throughout their time in the program, each teen has the opportunity to complete over 200 service hours.
Throughout the year, Youth Leaders participate in 'Follow Up' events which include weekend retreats, an Alternative Spring Break Trip, College Visits, and small planning groups. Service and Leadership components are a part of all of our Youth Leadership programs. During the summer, teens are immersed in learning leadership skills that culminate in taking a leadership role with the JC junior camp session for our youngest campers.

Advanced Camping Experience (A.C.E.)
The A.C.E. program offers returning campers (ages 13 – 16) the opportunity to develop and use advanced camping skills, improve teamwork, strengthen decision-making skills and begin to explore what it means to be a leader. Experiential learning is the method used to teach these life skills.
A.C.E. campers assist staff with leading and teaching younger campers. The teens participate in multiple high adventure camping and wilderness opportunities such canoeing trips, in-state camping, or backpacking trips.
Counselors-In-Training (CIT)
After completing the A.C.E. program, youth ages 15 through 18 apply to the C.I.T. program to learn advanced leadership and programming methods. C.I.T.s work with counselors to strengthen these skills.
During their summer, C.I.T.s plan JC Juniors which is our camp session for our youngest children (ages 7 to 9). They plan activities, lead skill-building session and actually serve as counselors under the guidance and supervision of our staff. C.I.T.s also engage in community service projects, college visits and camp improvement projects.

Every so often a comedian or comedienne comes along that Hollywood pushes very aggressively. Sometimes, the public accepts this offer. Other times, it is rejected, swiftly and harshly.
This is Melissa McCarthy's time to be thrust upon us, first via 'Mike and Molly' then in the form of movies like 'Bridesmaids' and 'Identity Thief'.
Reuniting with director Paul Feig, let's explore 'The Heat.'
Special Agent Sarah Ashburn (Sandra Bullock) is an effective, but unpopular agent. She is aiming for a big promotion, but first, she must go to Boston to prove herself to the chief. In Boston, she meets up with Officer Shannon Mullins (McCarthy) who is a very rough, unconventional police officer. They are forced to work together to take a down a huge crime syndicate. Needless to say, this isn't a smooth partnership.
The film starts a bit slowly as the leads are established in great detail and with great care that they are a by-the-books cop and a loose cannon, respectively. After we get past the long introductions and the plot really begins to move forward, things pick up speed and get funnier.
While the character interaction is funny, most of the humor resides in particular scenes, whether they are action set pieces, a dangling interrogation that was spoiled in the trailer, a startlingly enjoyable choking scene in a diner, or a moment that involves a knife and a chair....you'll see.
There is a climactic moment late in the film where one character reveals their true intentions in a very clumsy way. That is the precursor to what should be a massive chase scene or gigantic action set piece. Instead, we get resolution in a less exciting, but still mostly satisfying way.
As much personality as the leads have, they are dealing with cinematic archetypes that have been done to death. Of course it's funny to pair mismatched characters and the good cop/bad cop dynamic is a genre unto itself, but things are just played so safely with that. Mullins is as crude and unrefined as almost humanly possible while Ashburn is uptight to the nth degree. Both are rather one-dimensional.
Special features include: a brief welcome to the features, a look at the stunts/alternative takes, something called an 'Acting Master Class' which is just an extended scene where McCarthy and Bullock have their noses taped up, an unnecessary outro, and commentary for the film. Overall, a mixed bag, but some fun stuff in there.
In a lot of ways, 'The Heat' is a very predictable comedy that isn't going to surprise you in how it plays out. Movies like 'Lethal Weapon' and 'Beverly Hills Cop' have done all of this before.
On the other hand, it has some very funny moments tucked in there and the characters are likeable enough to warrant
a sequel which wouldn't be entirely unexpected or unwelcome.
This is more of a rental.

Yesterday I suggested doing one thing differently in your morning ritual on your way to work, whether in a car or walking to your home office.
Next is a fun small change that can make a huge amount of difference in relationships.
Think about how you normally greet people either at the office or on the phone or even with your email to someone. Do you do the knee-jerk common "How are you?" when you acknowledge someone? Most of us do and the answer is usually "Fine" whether true or not.
How about a pattern interrupt here. Some suggestions: "What is one good thing going on today?" or "How can I help make your day a better one?" Find a pattern interrupter even if it makes you uncomfortable. Life is full of fun and whimsy. You just have to take one step in a new direction and not keep repeating the same old, same old.
You can greet someone with a quick joke. Here is one to get you started: Why did the spider cross the road?.........
To get to his other website!!!!!
Have a fun day today.

Mobile Workforce Management
Introduction: What Is It?
Mobile Workforce Management (MWFM) is an enterprise-scale business function that covers the creation, dispatch, and completion of work (scheduled or not) assigned to field personnel. The mobile workforce operates computing equipment that typically communicate over wireless networks (either public or private), often combined with Asset & Vehicle Location (AVL) technology (using GPS or other location-based service), for real-time status and location tracking. (See: telematics)
Also known as: "Field Service Management", "Mobile Resource Management", and "Mobile Workforce Automation".
Mobile workforce management solutions (MWFMS, MWMS, or mobile WFMS) cover a range of applications and markets. A number of vendors compete in such industries as:
In addition, "wireless enablement" allows an organization to add wireless (possibly, mobile) capabilities to an existing enterprise application.

Theatrical poster for A Prophet.
The Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences may have already made their nominations for Best Foreign Language Film but when can you actually see these films in theaters? Below is a list of the Oscar nominated foreign movies coming out in Los Angeles in the following months.
A Prophet (France)- Plays in L.A. 2/26- Movie from Jacques Audiard about a man who goes to prison and is taken under the wing of gang leaders while incarcerated. Young and illiterate when he enters prison, he quickly becomes hardened and comes into his own during his imprisonment.
Poster for Ajami.
Ajami (Israel) - Playing currently in L.A. at the Laemmle 5- A crime drama that deals with the intersecting lives of several Jews, Muslims, and Christians living in Israel.
The Secrets in Their Eyes: Sony has set a 4/16 release date for the film- A retired court employee decides to investigate a thirty year old crime finds himself confronted by his own past.
Theatrical poster for The Secret in Their Eyes.
Oscar Predictions? It's hard to say anything with confidence after last year's unexpected turn of events in the foreign language category. As some of you may recall, the Japanese film Departures shocked many by winning the Oscar, beating out the heavily favored Waltz with Bashir and The Class. However, Michael Haneke's The White Ribbon has done well at festivals and with critics and the French film A Prophet has been well received. The White Ribbon also won the foreign language Golden Globe. Though this is not an assurance of Oscar gold, The White Ribbon still seems like the best bet for Oscar night. The awards ceremony airs March 7.

These films may not be Oscar nominated, but they're still pretty cool. Click on the titles for more information on individual movies.

Ways of Reading offers a uniquely exciting approach to first-year composition, integrating reading, writing, and critical thinking with an ambitious selection of readings and editorial support. An introduction provides a framework to guide students in reading "with and against the grain." Then Ways of Reading helps students develop the intellectual skills necessary for academic work by engaging them in conversations with key academic and cultural texts. With selections by thinkers such as Michel Foucault, Susan Bordo, and Kwame Anthony Appiah, it also bridges the gap between contemporary critical theory and composition so that instructors can connect their own scholarly work with their teaching. An extensive instructor's manual provides a wealth of support. Now with exciting new contemporary readings and e-Pages—online essays and videos integrated with the print book—Ways of Reading continues to be the most intellectually thrilling reader available.

Last year "Bachelor" fans were bummed when ABC didn't renew "Bachelor Pad" for the summer line-up. It was a favorite among many, some even preferred it to the other shows in the franchise. According to a March 21 report from Entertainment Weekly, ABC will be bringing "Bachelor in Paradise" to the summer line-up for 2014. It is almost the same scenario as "Bachelor Pad," but with a better location and some new twists.
Some of the fan-favorites from previous seasons of both the "Bachelor" and "Bachelorette" will be returning along with some of the villains. Since news broke about "Bachelor in Paradise," fans have been talking about who they would like to see on the show. Some names that have been thrown around include Courtney Robertson, Erica Rose, William Holman, and Graham Bunn.
The official cast probably won't be announced until close to the air date. Right now there isn't an official premiere date noted, but speculation is it will begin sometime in July after the "Bachelorette" ends. Fans are looking forward to a reboot of "Bachelor Pad." It looks like "Bachelor in Paradise" will be another big hit from the "Bachelor" franchise.

This is One Cool Pussycat Who Thinks Va-jay-jays Are Awesome
He's a feline man of mystery and he's doing his damndest to get a new va-ja-jay catchphrase to catch on.
Meet Carlton, a "fiercely private cat of substantial means" who's on a mission to get the world to use the word "vaginal" in everyday conversation. Carlton says the vagina has "long been a personal passion." He loves the va-jay-jay so much he wants the human race to refrain from saying "That's awesome" and instead replace it with "That's Vaginal". This could catch on.
Why does he want to do this? Well, apart from it being an awesome (sorry, make that "vaginal") concept, it could be because he's a frontman for douche company SummerEve. It's good to see a company with a sense of humor.
What else can I say about this video other than… That's Vaginal!

Reviews for Pork Medallions in Orange Sauce
"I simmered the sauce for the stated amount of time and didn't worry about the amount. The fact that the pork pieces were lightly coated made it seem healhier. I'm not a big fan of corn syrup, has anyone used flour as a thickener instead? Dpartis - did you possibly use a pork roast instead of a tenderloin?"
"This was very good and so easy."
"How does one reduce a scant cup of liquid to one cup and in 15 minutes yet???"
"I am a learning new cook of 72. I alos noted the short amount of liquid, but also have a problen with the tenderloin. It calls for cutting into 1/2 inch slices. then pounding it to 1/4 inch. At the end it calls for letting it rest then slicing into rounds, according to the picture. How did it get into a roll to do this. Something seems to be missing. Mine were flat pieces and cooked dry, unfortunately."
"jgillard,Thanks for the suggestions. I also added more broth to increase to amount of sauce, but I like your soy sauce idea and will try it next time. cyndi"

I know that there is not great deal of support for LW. but milkshape seems to help as I can convert models from there into LW format and I think I have some plugins to export LW stuff into 3ds format. It's just knowing what to do after that. If I were to export a model from milkshape first would I still need to weight the model to bones, or am I going to have to use gmax or something to weight my model after I have built it? Does anybody know of any plugins that could help me or got any useful tips?

Thanks to the family's three dogs, everyone is safe from a fire that started in the second story of a home very early Sunday morning on the 200 block of Fanin Ave. in Round Rock, Texas reports kxan.com.
Neighbors called 911 when they spotted the blaze coming through the roof of the home.

Report: GM, Fiat in Latin America, Europe Talks
General Motors wants a 30% stake in Fiat SpA in exchange for the U.S. auto maker's Latin America and Europe operations, the New York Times reported Wednesday, citing two people close to the negotiations.
Fiat has proposed a merger with the GM-owned Opel in Germany and is also eyeing the rest of GM's assets in Europe and Latin America, the paper said on its Web site.
Chrysler LLC, another struggling U.S. auto maker, is also in talks with Fiat on a venture. The people said the two auto makers have differing expectations on the deal,
with GM wanting 30% of Fiat while the Italian manufacturer is only willing to
cede less than a 10% share, the newspaper reported. Neither Fiat nor GM's spokespersons would comment on whether GM was seeking a stake, according to the newspaper.

UCLA's Game Notes | Missouri's Game Notes
2012-13 UCLA Media Guide | Purchase Tickets
LOS ANGELES - UCLA (9-3) rides a season-best four game winning streak into Friday night's showdown against No. 7/9 Missouri (10-1) in New Pauley Pavilion. Game time is 7 p.m. The Bruins' final non-conference game of the regular season will be nationally televised on ESPN2, with Dave Flemming and Bill Walton calling the action. Most recently, UCLA secured a 91-78 victory over Fresno State in New Pauley Pavilion on Dec. 22.
Venue: New Pauley Pavilion (13,800)
Tip-Off Time: 7:05 p.m. (PT)
Television: ESPN2
TV Talent: Dave Flemming (play-by-play), Bill Walton (analyst)
Radio (UCLA Sports Network from IMG College): AM 570 (KLAC)
Radio Talent: Chris Roberts (play-by-play) and Don MacLean (analyst)
While the all-time series between UCLA and Missouri spans just six games, the last two meetings between these programs have taken place in the 1995 NCAA Tournament (Round of 32) and the 2002 NCAA Tournament (Sweet 16), respectively. UCLA will host No. 7/9 Missouri in Pauley Pavilion for the first time since 1975 on Friday, Dec. 28. This non-conference meeting, slated for a 7 p.m. (PT) tip-off, will be nationally televised on ESPN2. UCLA has registered a 5-1 record in the all-time series. Missouri won the most recent contest, 82-73, on March 21, 2002.
UCLA's best memory from the series against Missouri took place in the second round of the 1995 NCAA Tournament. Trailing by one point (74-73) with 4.8 seconds to play, guard Tyus Edney dribbled the ball the length of the court and scored on a layup at the buzzer, lifting UCLA to a 75-74 victory, leading to the "Sweet 16" and an eventual NCAA Championship, the 11th NCAA title in program history. Edney's historic shot and UCLA's one-point victory against Missouri ranks among the all-time greatest moments in UCLA athletics history.
UCLA has compiled a 21-16 record against top-25 ranked opponents over the last six-plus seasons (since start of 2006-07 campaign). UCLA has not faced a top-10 ranked team since defeating No. 10 Arizona, 71-49, in the Bruins' final game in "old" Pauley Pavilion (Feb. 26, 2011). UCLA's last contest against a top-10 ranked non-conference opponent was played Dec. 2, 2011, at No. 4 Kansas. The Bruins lost to the Jayhawks, 77-76. UCLA's last game at home against a non-conference, top-10-ranked team took place Jan. 12, 2002 (W, 87-77, over No. 1-ranked Kansas).
Three of UCLA's freshmen - Shabazz Muhammad, Jordan Adams and Kyle Anderson - have each scored 20 points or more in at least one game this season. In fact, that trio tallied at least 20 points each in the team's 91-78 win over Fresno State on Dec. 22, marking the first time in school history that three or more freshmen had each logged 20 points in the same game. Shabazz Muhammad and Jordan Adams became UCLA's first-ever freshman duo to score at least 20 points in the same game when UCLA downed Long Beach State, 89-70, on Dec. 18.
UCLA secured a 91-78 win over Fresno State last Saturday, extending its winning streak to a season-high four games. Shabazz Muhammad led UCLA with a season-best 27 points, Jordan Adams had 25 points, and Kyle Anderson logged season-highs with 20 points and 17 rebounds. Over UCLA's last two games, Adams has averaged 24.5 points and 6.0 rebounds while collecting seven assists (no turnovers) and six steals. Muhammad has averaged 24.0 points and 6.5 rebounds in the Bruins' last two contests.
Freshman Jordan Adams has made 18 of 25 field goals (72.0 pct) in UCLA's last two games. In addition, he has made 5 of 8 three-point attempts in those two contests (62.5 pct). Heading into Friday's game, he leads UCLA in field goals made (71), field goals percentage (51.4), 3-pointers made (23), free throws (53) and free throw percentage (.869, 53/61).
Jordan Adams (24 points) and Shabazz Muhammad (21 points) became the first duo of UCLA freshmen in school history to have scored at least 20 points in the same game last Tuesday. Adams, who was 8-for-11 from the field against Long Beach State, registered his sixth 20+ point performance of the year. Muhammad scored at least 20 points for the third time in eight contests. Adams and Muhammad have been UCLA's top scorers in nine.
Larry Drew II ranks second nationally with 8.5 assists per game and is fourth in the nation with a 5.37 assist turnover ratio (leads the Pac-12 in both categories). He has logged at least eight assists in nine of UCLA's 12 contests. In two games last week, Drew II finished with 19 assists and two turnovers. He scored a season-high 14 points in UCLA's 89-70 win over Long Beach State (Dec. 18). Entering Saturday's game, Drew II has recorded 102 assists and 19 turnovers. He dished a career-high 13 assists against Cal State Northridge (Nov. 28) in an 82-56 victory.
Larry Drew II's 102 assists through the team's first 12 games marks the best start, in terms of assists per game, for any UCLA player under 10th-year head coach Ben Howland. Previously, Darren Collison owned the record for most assists in the Howland Era through the Bruins' first 11 games (72, in 2007-08). Drew II has registered at least 10 assists in four games this season - 12 versus James Madison (Nov. 15), 13 against Cal State Northridge (Nov. 28), 11 versus San Diego State (Dec. 1), and 10 against Fresno State (Dec. 22).
Kyle Anderson leads all UCLA players and all Pac-12 freshmen with 8.7 rebounds per game. Through games played Dec. 23, he ranked fifth among Pac-12 players in rebounds per contest. He finished three assists shy of a triple-double in UCLA's win over Fresno State on Dec. 22 (had season-highs with 20 points, 17 rebounds). UCLA's only previous triple-doubles were logged in Dec. 1995. Toby Bailey had 23 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists against Stephen F. Austin (12/18/95) and Jelani McCoy registered 15 points, 11 blocks and 10 rebounds against Maryland (12/9/95).
UCLA will open Pac-12 play against California on Thursday, Jan. 3. Tip-off in New Pauley Pavilion is slated for 8 p.m. The Bruins will be back in action two days later (Jan. 5), hosting Stanford at 12 p.m. In all, the Bruins have 18 conference contests lined up before the Pac-12 Tournament (March 13-16) in Las Vegas. Last season, UCLA went 0-2 against California and 1-1 against Stanford. The Bruins' opened their Pac-12 schedule with a 60-59 loss at Stanford (Dec. 29) before dropping an 85-69 decision at California (Dec. 31).
In UCLA's last game, a 91-78 win at home against Fresno State (Dec. 22), the Bruins received 72 of 91 total points from three freshmen - Shabazz Muhammad (27 pts), Jordan Adams (25 points) and Kyle Anderson (20 pts). That trio accounted for 79.1 percent of UCLA's points that evening and 73.8 percent of the Bruins' total rebounds (31 of 42). Heading into Saturday's game against Missouri, that trio of freshmen has logged 51.8 percent of UCLA's scoring (495/955) and 41.8 percent of the team's total rebounds (200/478).
With his 5-for-9 3-point effort against San Diego State (Dec. 1), Jordan Adams became UCLA's first freshman to make five or more 3-pointers in a game since Michael Roll nailed 5-of-6 against Washington (Jan. 14, 2006). Adams ranks second on the team with 18.2 points per game, the fifth-highest scoring average in the Pac-12. He became the first freshman in program history to have scored at least 20 points in each of his first four games (freshmen could not play on the varsity team until 1972-73). Adams became UCLA's first player to score 20+ points in four straight games since Dijon Thompson (Jan.-Feb. 2005).
The Bruins have gone 3-1 in games decided by five points or fewer this season. Most recently, UCLA overcame an eight-point deficit in the final four minutes to defeat Texas, 65-63, at Reliant Stadium (Dec. 8). Other narrow victories have come against Georgia (60-56, Nov. 20) and UC Irvine (80-79, in overtime, Nov. 13). Midway through his 10th season as UCLA's head coach, Ben Howland has led UCLA to a 52-32 record in games decided by five points or fewer.
Sophomore Nick Kazemi remains sidelined with a sprained left MCL and is expected to miss 1-2 more weeks. He sustained the injury during practice on Oct. 26, 2012.
Freshman Shabazz Muhammad has scored in double digits in each of his first nine games at UCLA, becoming the first player to accomplish that feat since Kevin Love (2007-08) scored in double figures in all 38 games played as a freshman (missed the 13th game of the season). Muhammad and Love are the only players in head coach Ben Howland's 10-year tenure to have opened their UCLA career with at least seven consecutive double-digit efforts.

The Jewel Trader of Pegu
Jeffrey Hantover
2008, Historical Fiction (1590s Pegu (Burma))
William Morrow, $21.95, 240 pages, Amazon ASIN 0061252700
The Jewel Trader of Pegu was a very difficult book for me to grade. On the one hand, it features a truly unique setting and story - and beautiful writing. However, at times I felt as if the main story had more to do with the hero's love of himself and his newfound sense of self and less with any real love for and relationship with the heroine.
Abraham is a young widower sent by his uncle to Pegu (modern-day Burma, or Myanmar for those who wish) to trade for jewels. Upon his arrival, Abraham finds himself well-treated, and for the first time in his life, not subject to discrimination related to his status as a Jew.
This new freedom intrigues and exhilarates Abraham, as does the process of learning the customs of Pegu. The author does a wonderful job of describing the setting through Abraham's eyes and the reader gradually gets acquainted with the city just as the narrator does. The descriptions of Pegu are lush and colorful, and, just as his life as a trader lies somewhat removed from the growing unrest caused by the erratic king of Pegu, so too does the story seem to develop in a way that is primarily outside the political circles of the place.
As Abraham grows accustomed to his temporary new home, his broker informs him of a duty that foreign traders are expected to perform to bring blessing to the marriages of merchant's daughters. Abraham finds the request distasteful as it requires him to break Jewish law, but as living in Pegu somewhat changes his identity, it also begins to change his attitudes toward religion and law.
While in Pegu, Abraham is introduced to Mya, a village girl who has come to Pegu to be married. He is moved by Mya and drawn to her. When she is left widowed and alone, he allows her to be taken into his household, where his attraction to her grows ever more powerful.
While the author excels at describing Pegu and at showing Abraham's internal journey, the relationship between Abraham and Mya at times seems a little lacking. Even the presence of brief chapters narrated by Mya don't give the story the depth of feeling it needs to be convincing. One can convey much using very subtle language, but that just does not happen here. Abraham and Mya's love story does not take on the feeling of immediacy and reality that other parts of the story manage to do. This is due in large part to the fact that the author never seems to get inside Mya's head in any satisfying way. Her view of events and feelings is overly simplistic, Abraham's understanding of her seems to be somewhat limited, and her character is never developed with anything near the subtlety and complexity the author devotes to Abraham.
Those readers who expect a great love story from The Jewel Trader of Pegu will likely come away disappointed. This novel contains a great picture of a dying land and tells a very intriguing tale of self-discovery, however, and the beautiful language employed makes it worth reading in spite of its flaws.

Released: Dec 17th, 2007
Running Time: 118 Min.
Company: Oriental Dream Pictures
Cast: Maki, Kurumi, Rio (I), Others
Critical Rating: AAA
Genre: Gonzo
The answer to the first question is no. Not even close. Yes, there's sex here, but it doesn't seem too hardcore or gonzo at all. The answer to the second question is a little more nebulous.
Some parts of this title are pretty hot, like watching Kurumi, a sexy little number with a bushy twat, get herself off with a massager. When her eyes roll back into her head, she looks like she's really cumming.
Though, there's a lot here that's pretty slow. The ladies are lovely, and, for the most part, what is expected from a Japanese title. But this doesn't elevate itself at all. It's just average.
Retailing: Average Far Eastern gonzo title will be good for big Japanese fans.

February 26th is Tell A Fairy Tale Day
Think you're too old for fairy tales? These books will make you change your mind!
By: Martin Millar
The Good Fairies of New York tells the fish-out-of-water story of two Scottish thistle fairies who find themselves in Manhattan. The fairies hook up with two humans, Kerry (complete with colostomy bag) and Dinnie (antisocial in the extreme), finding time to help both get their acts together. A book that brings together race riots and Scottish folklore, The Good Fairies of New York is anything but a typical fairy fantasy. (Publisher's Marketing)
My Mother She Killed Me, My Father He Ate Me: Forty New Fairy Tales
Edited by: Kate Bernheimer
The fairy tale lives again in these forty new stories by some of the biggest names in contemporary fiction. Neil Gaiman, Michael Cunningham, Aimee Bender, Kelly Link, Lydia Millet, and more than thirty other extraordinary writers celebrate fairy tales in this thrilling volume—the ultimate literary costume party. Spinning houses and talking birds. Whispered secrets and borrowed hope. Here are new stories sewn from old skins, gathered from around the world by visionary editor Kate Bernheimer and inspired by everything from Hans Christian Andersen's "The Snow Queen" and "The Little Match Girl," to Charles Perrault's "Bluebeard" and "Cinderella," to the Brothers Grimm's "Hansel and Gretel" and "Rumpelstiltskin," to fairy tales by Goethe and Calvino.
Fairy tales are our oldest literary tradition, and yet they chart the imaginative frontiers of the twenty-first century as powerfully as they evoke our earliest encounters with literature. This exhilarating collection restores their place in the literary canon. (Publisher's Marketing)
By: John Klima
Klima (Logorrhea) brings together many of the greatest minds in fantasy, horror and young adult fiction in this rollicking reprint anthology of 33 diverse fairy tale retellings from the past two decades. Gregory Maguire's "The Seven Stage a Comeback" is a clever, mirthful sequel to Snow White. Peter Straub's "Ashputtle" turns Cinderella's plight into a shocking tale of psychological horror. Susanna Clarke's Victorianesque "Mr. Simonelli, or the Fairy Widower" follows a rector who discovers a family secret when he's assigned to a mysterious town in the English countryside. Neil Gaiman expertly flips a familiar trope on its head in "The Troll Bridge." These and other longtime authors are joined by equally talented newcomers such as K. Tempest Bradford and Genevieve Valentine. Fairy tale fans will give this volume pride of place on the shelf. (Publisher's Marketing)

The True Story of Hansel and Gretel: A Novel of War and Survival
By: Louise Murphy
A provocative transformation of the classic fairy tale into a haunting survival story set in Poland during WWII, Murphy's second novel (after The Sea Within) is darkly enchanting. Two Jewish children, a girl of 11 and her seven-year-old brother, are left to wander the woods after their father and stepmother are forced to abandon them, frantically begging them never to say their Jewish names, but to identify themselves as Hansel and Gretel. In an imaginative reversal of the original tale, they encounter a small woman named Magda, known as a "witch" by villagers, who risks her life in harboring them. The story alternates between the children's nightmarish adventures, and their parents' struggle for survival and hope for a safe reunion. This mirror image of the fairy tale is deliberately disorienting, as Murphy describes the horrors of the outside world compared with the haven inside Magda's hut, and the fear and anguish of the other people who conspire to save the children and protect their own families, too. The naive siblings are only half-conscious of much of this, though they are perfectly aware of their peril should they be discovered. The graphic details—the physical symptoms of near starvation, the infestations of lice, the effects of bitter cold—make it plain that this is the grimmest kind of fable. Eventually, the Nazis indulge in wholesale slaughter, and the children barely survive, hiding and on the run. No reader who picks up this inspiring novel will put it down until the final pages, in which redemption is not a fairy tale ending but a heartening message of hope. (Publisher's Weekly)

Kissing the Witch: Old Tales in New Skins
By: Emma Donoghue
Thirteen tales are unspun from the deeply familiar, and woven anew into a collection of fairy tales that wind back through time. Acclaimed Irish author Emma Donoghue reveals heroines young and old in unexpected alliances—sometimes treacherous, sometimes erotic, but always courageous. Told with luminous voices that shimmer with sensuality and truth, these age-old characters shed their antiquated cloaks to travel a seductive new landscape, radiantly transformed. Cinderella forsakes the handsome prince and runs off with the fairy godmother; Beauty discovers the Beast behind the mask is not so very different from the face she sees in the mirror; Snow White is awakened from slumber by the bittersweet fruit of an unnamed desire. Acclaimed writer Emma Donoghue spins new tales out of old in a magical web of thirteen interconnected stories about power and transformation and choosing one's own path in the world. In these fairy tales, women young and old tell their own stories of love and hate, honor and revenge, passion and deception. Using the intricate patterns and oral rhythms of traditional fairy tales, Emma Donoghue wraps age-old characters in a dazzling new skin. (Publisher's Marketing)
Jack of Kinrowan: Jack the Giant-Killer and Drink Down the Moon
By: Charles De Lint
An acknowledged classic of contemporary fantasy, Jack of Kinrowan brings together in one volume Charles de Lint's rollicking saga of wild faerie magic on the streets of the city.

There, to her dismay, she is hailed as the Jack of Kinrowan, a once-and-future trickster hero whose lot is to save the Elven Courts from unimaginable evil.
Drink Down the Moon: Once the realm of Faerie drew its power from the Moon herself. But now a ghastly creature has stolen that power and enslaved the Fair Folk—and Jacky Rowan herself. Only Johnny Faw, a handsome fiddler unaware of his magical gifts, has the power to set them free. (Publisher's Marketing)

The Indoor Tulips (page 2 of 2)
by Shila Patel
Planting and Forcing Tulips
Start with clean clay or plastic pots, and place some shards or wire mesh over the drainage hole to hold in the soil. Place at least 2 inches of moistened soilless potting mix (a combination of peat moss and perlite or vermiculite) in the bottom of the container so that the tops of the bulbs will sit just below the rim of the pot. Gently place the bulbs root end down and cover with soil, leaving the bulb noses slightly exposed.
Place the flatter side of each bulb facing the outside of the pot. Leaves sprout first from this side, and will drape gracefully over the sides of the pot. Plant bulbs more closely than you would in the garden -- as close as possible but not touching.
After planting, add water until it seeps out of the drainage holes. Check the soil periodically, keeping it evenly moist. Label each pot with the variety name and the planting date, and move it to a chilling area. Because the bulbs store all the energy they need for bloom, fertilizing is not necessary.
A chilling period. Depending on the variety, it takes 8 to 16 weeks for the planted bulbs to root. Any dark, relatively moist place that provides steady temperatures between 35 and 48?F (40?F is ideal) is fine. An unheated garage, basement, or refrigerator is perfect. If you live where winter temperatures remain in the 40s, simply place the pots outdoors. If winter temperatures drop below 32?F, protect bulbs from freezing; either mulch them heavily or place them in a trench or cold frame, then insulate them well with a layer of vermiculite topped with peat, hay, or shredded bark.
If you don't have a space that's reliably 48?F or below, try this method: Place the unplanted bulbs in a paper bag in the refrigerator (away from fruits) for six weeks. The ethylene gas naturally produced by ripening fruit can destroy the bud inside the tulip bulb. Pot them in a shallow container filled with moistened, soilless potting mix, and place the pot in a 50 to 55?F, dark room for a month before moving to a sunny 60 to 65?F location for bloom and display.
Forcing. After the bulbs have chilled the appropriate length of time, check the drainage hole for root development. If healthy roots are visible, remove any mulch and transfer the pots to a 50 to 65?F location with bright indirect light for about two weeks. This is the actual forcing period, when the bulbs are induced to flower because of the change from winter to spring. Keep in mind that the sunnier and warmer the location, the shorter the tulips stems will be because the sunlight will induce faster flowering. To stagger bloom times, bring the pots in at two-week intervals.
When shoots are about 2 inches tall, begin regular watering and move pots to a sunny window (68?F) to stimulate flowering. As soon as the buds begin to color, return the pots to indirect light; blossoms last longer in cooler temperatures. Ideally, pots should spend the nights in a cool (60?F) room to increase the length of the bloom time up to about 10 days with the proper care.
Forced tulips rarely flower again, even if planted in the garden. To try your luck, remove the flower head after the petals fade, let the tulips complete their life cycle, then plant outdoors.

Dec. 4, 2013
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. - Junior forward Pia Rijsdijk was selected to the National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA) All-South Region Third Team, the organization announced on Wednesday.
It marks the second time that Rijsdijk was honored by the NSCAA as an all-region performer during her Alabama career (also earned third-team honors following her freshman year in 2011). She becomes just the second UA player in program history to be selected as an all-region performer on two different occasions, joining former defender Nellie Barnes who earned third-team all-region honors in 1996 and 1997.
Rijsdijk finished the 2013 campaign at or near the top in every offensive category for the Tide. She led Alabama in goals (7), points (18) and game-winning goals (2) and was second on the team in assists (4), shots (42) and shots on goal (16) this season.
Rijsdijk, a native of Numansdorp, Netherlands, developed into one of the top players in the SEC during league play. She scored all seven of her goals and recorded three of her four assists against SEC competition.
Along with the all-region honors, Rijsdijk was named to the All-SEC Second Team and also earned SEC Offensive Player of the Week and earned Collegesoccer360.com Primetime Performer of the Week honors for the week of Sept. 30.
