And, click here or on the Parties For Kids tab below for more info on the various options we have for such events.
Our Artist Engagement Program draws on the diverse talents of the Old Town School teaching staff. We have artists in a variety of disciplines including dance, theater, magic, music (of course) and more! From pure performance to something more educational in nature, our artists have experience in many settings. Here are a few of the many musical styles available:
We offer a variety of Children's Performers as well. Consider one of the following for your next gathering of children:
Click over to the Parties tab for more information.
Beyond what you might expect, we also book artists to lead music and/or theater-based team-building, professional development and training workshops. We also offer Dance Workshops/Instruction in such genres as Latin, Middle Eastern Belly Dance, Hawaiian Hula and West African.
So, you're hosting a bunch of kids and need something fun to engage, entice, and otherwise dissuade them from climbing the walls? Let us help!
We have a wide array of talented pros on our roster who can lead your group in any of the following offerings.
This option is led by one of our solo Wiggleworms performers. They play guitar, sing, and lead the kids in singing along, using shakers, etc. This event is intended to engage both parents and children in moving and singing together as led by the teacher performer. The focus is on traditional children's tunes, but some artists also have some great originals that may be weaved into a set.
Best for ages: 0-3 (and often even up to 5 or 6)
Call to discuss arrangements and pricing for groups larger than 30.
One of our kids' music performers will lead the crew in singing songs that are not the standard "Wiggleworms" fare. Some originals may be part of the mix and/or tunes could be chosen based on a theme such as "campfire" songs, "western-themed" tunes, or "pop and rock" numbers, etc.
Best for ages: 4-12 years
This option is a party version of our Meet the Instruments class. It is for kids who are ready to follow the ritual and routine of the group, led by the teacher performer. The party will still include singing and dancing but does include more of an expectation of everyone to sit in a circle and to participate in the experience together than sometimes is the case in something like Wiggleworms. The standard for this party is that the leader brings guitar as well as a mix of at least 4 additional instruments that will span different musical families. It is great if parents want to participate in this with their children but, assuming the kids meet the criteria above, can also be facilitated at parties where kids are dropped off by their parents as long as the host and enough adults are present to insure the leader is able to focus on the activities and not corralling or disciplining the kids.
Best for ages: 3-6 years
*If desired, an instrument-making option can be added to this for an additional cost (for example, a tube kazoo) - this would generally add about 20-30 minutes total time and between $75-150 in cost depending on project and supplies.
One of our talented art program instructors will lead your group in an art project. You may develop the art project theme and concept, or you can work with the teacher to develop the project together! We love adapting art concepts to a certain party theme, and we'll typically introduce the project with your choice of story, poem, or visuals. Art parties are best for crowds of 12 kids or fewer, and we find that the experience works best for children who are at least 3 years old. We occasionally make exceptions to these policies, depending on any particular needs that you may have.
Best for ages: 3 - 12 years
*Supply costs vary but are usually about $5 per child depending on the project. This option can be amended for larger groups, but we would likely add a second leader at additional cost.
** Please note that artists generally arrive at least 30 minutes early for an art party and will be there to clean up for around 30-60 min following project end time.
One of our wonderful percussion instructors will bring shakers, drums, etc to facilitate a drum party, of sorts. They will lead the kids in learning and putting together rhythms and beats, all while having a great time. This works best for under 15 kids although it is possible with more as per the pricing below.
Best for ages: 4 - 100 years
Jameson and Plucky bring a hilarious and interactive portable 30 minute puppet and human variety show, combining interactive music, sketches, and improv. Jameson is a furry orange monster who, along with a few of his puppet friends, loves to sing and tell jokes and maybe even squeeze in some secret teaching here and there. Plucky is a human who plays the ukulele, sings, tells jokes, stories and riddles, and helps to serve as a bridge between the audience and the puppets. Noah and Alisa have been performing together since 2013 and have a full repertoire of songs, stories, and characters between them. Bios/video available on request.
Best for ages: 6 months - 7 years
** Special requirements for this party: a minimum of 6 square feet for the puppet theater.
One of our talented and creative teaching artists will lead a yoga, creative movement, or dance "workshop/class." These options work best with under 12- 15 kids. Creative movement options can be themed as well, to include music from specific artists or movies, etc. Other specific forms of dance are also available for those age 6 and up (hip-hop, ballet, jazz, modern).
Yoga or a specific dance form are best for ages: 6 years and up
Creative Movement is best for ages: 3-6 years
One of our fun and energetic theater instructors would lead the kids in some engaging theater games, which not only build confidence but also encourage teamwork and listening skills. This option works best with 4-12 kids.
Best for ages: 4 years and up
Let one of our talented storytelling artists lead your group in storytelling activities that will leave the kids feeling engaged and invested in the experience. We offer options that include the leader doing most of the storytelling (and possibly focusing on a specific theme and/or incorporating music) but also activities that engage the children in telling a story themselves or that encourage them to act much of it out, or to even explore various movement concepts within it (as mentioned under the creative movement listing). This option works best 5-12 kids.
Best for ages: 4 years and up
The birthday party version of this exciting show fits into a living room; the birthday child is featured in the show and magically wins several magic souvenirs. The show is very visual with lots of audience participation and includes puppets who do magic too! Blending humor, whimsy and impressive illusions, the show will appeal to not only the kids but adults as well. Options below are for ages 4 and up...our magician says, "Magic doesn't really work for ages 3 and below – because everything is already magical for them."
Best for ages: 4 years and up
We also have a number of our kids' music performers who play in larger configurations and so, if you were looking for a bigger sound or something more like a "concert," you could book a duo, trio or even larger group to put on a show. This sort of thing tends to be better for bigger parties but something like a duo could also perform to a smaller group without being too overwhelming:) We have bands that perform in configurations as large as 8 pieces, where creative movement and visual elements are involved. Obviously, the larger groups work best for events with larger budgets/crowds and we often arrange for groups to perform at benefits, school functions, etc.
Best for ages: All
Bring the band to your party and let the kids be the stars! You can book the full band as a 4 piece (drums, bass, guitar, keys, backing vocals), a trio (drums, bass guitar OR keys, backing vocals) or even a solo player on guitar. Lyrics can be provided but tends to work best when kids know the words already and simply sing it out! Songlist available upon request.
Best for ages: 4 or 5 and up
All rates include provision of PA and mic for the kid singers.

The Way We Were
The striking, high-ceilinged dining room of Dong Ting has held a special mystery for Houston diners over the years. The mirrored columns and wood trim give the place an upper-class European air. A giant black Chinese screen and hand-painted bamboo on the wallpaper provide the Asian accents. I had heard a lot about this temple of Chinese classicism before I moved to Houston. And on my first visit last spring, I found the strange formality completely apt. I was blown away by the place.
Dong Ting serves an excellent rendition of a dish that my father introduced me to in an elegant Chinese restaurant on the West Coast. "Birds in Jade Nest" is the most stunning appetizer I've ever eaten in a Chinese restaurant: a mixture of minced squab, sautéed with duck liver and mushrooms spooned hot into a chunk of cold iceberg lettuce. My inaugural dinner continued with fresh snow pea shoots, stir-fried quickly with lots of garlic, and Dong Ting's famous spicy squid with garlic and ginger. The flavors were hot and spicy, everything was cooked slightly underdone and crisp, and I was excited to be eating at such a legendary restaurant.
Dong Ting has a long and impressive history. When it first opened at Westheimer and Fondren in 1982, it defined the cutting edge of Asian cooking in Houston. "It was different from everything else," recalls wine broker John Roenigk, who was working as a sales rep for American Beverage at the time. "In 1982, there was no clay pot pork in Houston, spicy squid were a little scary, hot and sour soup was new, and nobody had ever seen dumplings served in red chile oil. At that time, Dong Ting's food was simply the best that money could buy in Houston. I must have eaten there once a week from 1982 to 1983."
Roenigk first met Dong Ting's original owner, San Huang, when the restaurant got into the wine business. "American had a rep named Roscoe Chow who spoke Chinese. Roscoe would go around to the Chinese restaurants and sell them a standard list of Blue Nun, Wan Fu [then the leading wine in Chinese restaurants] and other cheap whites," Roenigk remembers. "San Huang was a wine lover and he didn't want 'that goddamn Blue Nun, Wan Fu wine list,' as he put it. He wanted Robert Mondavi for the house wine."
When San Huang moved Dong Ting from its Westheimer location into the former Italian restaurant space it now occupies, he was making a statement about the status of Chinese restaurants. "When he moved downtown around 1986, it was an upward move," says Roenigk. "He took the successful Chinese bistro he had going and ratcheted it up a notch with more elaborate dining, better service and lots of flair."
Dong Ting reached its zenith in the late 1980s, but then it began to slip. "In the '90s, Dong Ting wandered off course," food critic Alison Cook reported in the Houston Press in 1994. "Owner San Huang turned his polished attentions to other business ventures, and the restaurant's food sank into the mediocre Hunan/Szechuan mire that entraps too many local Chinese spots." But Cook had hopes for Dong Ting's revival under new ownership. "Now comes new chef/owner De Zhong Ding out of Shanghai, whose clean flavors and penchant for restraint have won me back," she said in that review.
San Huang is out in Seattle now, involved in some sort of Buddhist project, according to current owner Kevin Chen, who had been a waiter here for many years. He can't remember how long the De Zhong Ding era lasted, but it wasn't very long. Chen has had the place a little over two years now. His chefs include several veterans from Chinese restaurants out on Bellaire, he says.
Unfortunately, Dong Ting has slid back into mediocrity under the rotating chef system. I have been taking my out-of-town guests there for a year now, but beyond the squab in lettuce leaves, the snow pea shoots and the squid, I've found little but disappointment.
The "Lion Head" meatballs that everybody used to rave about, a combination of pork and crabmeat cooked in broth in a clay pot, were horrible. The brown tennis-ball-size globs were soggy inside, and they tasted like boiled meat loaf. An order of the famous lamb dumplings was soggy, too. Although they were served in a steamer, a flood of hot water came cascading out at first bite -- a sure sign that the dumplings were boiled, not steamed. The bright clear flavors that Dong Ting was once famous for have all but disappeared.
When a Chinese restaurant goes downhill, generic ingredients, like bamboo shoots and brown sauce, start turning up everywhere. Such was the case with the hot sauce shrimp at Dong Ting when I ordered it for dinner last week. The shrimp were cooked to perfection, but there wasn't any hot sauce on them. Instead, they were buried under a huge pile of scallion greens and bamboo shoots cooked to mushy blandness in a generic-tasting brown sauce.
I selected this dish to serve as a yardstick. In 1994 Cook described it as "almost shocking in its simplicity: no sugar, virtually no sauce, just butterflied curls of shrimp, red-chile heat, sharp ginger shards and green, chewy lengths of scallion." The version of the dish I was served bears no resemblance to that description.
The crowds have stopped coming to Dong Ting for dinner. There were only two other tables occupied when I stopped by on a recent Thursday night at seven. By the time I left, just before eight, the dining room was empty. "Nobody coming out to eat after 9/11," the waiter explained. "Lots of business at lunchtime, though."
He was right. At noon on the following Monday, Dong Ting was hopping. Chen stood at the front door beaming goodwill. His black hair was standing up as if under the influence of static electricity, and in his black evening wear and white shirt with no tie, he looked like a Chinese lounge singer. I half expected him to sit down at the black grand piano just inside the door.
There were ten tables occupied, and the door to the other dining room (which I didn't even know existed) was opened as well. The mood was upbeat. Laughter echoed around the room. A hostess in a bright red Chinese top led parties of businessmen to their tables. At the one beside me, an oversized bubba with a red face was talking conspiratorially about offshore partnerships with an African gentleman.
The menu at Dong Ting is the same at lunch and dinner, which makes for a pretty expensive lunch (although Chen says he's offering 15 percent off all meals through January). A bowl of the famous hot and sour soup and an order of Hunan-style smoked pork with iced tea ran me close to $16. The soup wasn't terribly hot or sour, but there was a profusion of daylilies and black mushrooms, so I was content with it. The smoked pork dish was only okay.
I first ate Hunan-style Chinese food at a place called Henry's Hunan in San Francisco. Henry (I forget his last name) cured and smoked his own hams. It was the saltiest, smokiest, funkiest ham I have ever tasted. The restaurant's most unforgettable dish was a stir-fried combination of the pungent smoked ham with chunks of chicken, onions and hellishly hot whole red peppers. The top of my head sweats just thinking about that dish.
Dong Ting's smoked pork is nothing like that. The pork is mildly smoked, the dish is mildly seasoned, and the brown sauce has no whole peppers. There are a lot of green peppers in it, though, along with carrots, the ubiquitous bamboo shoots and some poorly chopped onions. (Many chunks of underdone onion have three or four layers still stuck together, so when you bite in, your eyes water.) But the brown sauce has a good bit of fried garlic and some chile paste in it, so it's fairly tasty. My bet is that Kevin Chen has the A-team working lunch, not dinner.
If you love Dong Ting for sentimental reasons, as many people do, I don't want to ruin your experience. But I will recommend that if you haven't been there for a while, you make some adjustments. First of all, go at lunchtime. It's the same menu, anyway, so all you'll be missing is the funereal atmosphere of an utterly dead restaurant. But don't look too closely in the light of day. It's been 15 years since Dong Ting moved in. There are holes in the wallpaper and holes in the mirrored columns. The dining room that once seemed so elegant is getting pretty shabby.
Most important, don't go roaming around the menu looking for something you might have missed in the past. Get the Birds in Jade Nest, the squid and the handful of other dishes Dong Ting is famous for. Enjoying an old favorite restaurant is like getting out the vinyl collection for a little nostalgia session. Forget the B-sides -- stick to the greatest hits.

* A Special Clairvoyant and Psychic Guide by Nalin K. Nirula
* Annual śrāddha fortnight-- Monday, September 28 to - Monday, October 12, 2016
The śrāddha fortnight in the dark fortnight of the mopn-phase (krishna-paksh) is the period when the 'pitra' ancestors from previous lifetimes are able to approach the earth planet and their descendants.
This is the time that the dead feed on the energies of the living on earth.
Those who are connected to the healing energies of Reiki or the KQ Force may send healing through the healing procedures as taught and practiced.
Traditional karam-kanda Śrāddha procedures for tarpan should be done through trained Brahmin priests only.
Pitru-dosha (pitra-dosha)-- This occurs only if ancestors of an individual are dissatisfied and can be checked through a horoscopic position of the individual. This is not a general liability or deficit condition.
"Who are the Pitras?"
The pitras are our ancestors from our current and previous lifetimes.
They are those who gave us bodily forms in earlier states of existence, and may themselves be in need of appropriate bodies to progress in their life journies.
The Pitras are stuck in limited capability bodies receiving punishment and correction for their earlier bad karmic activities.
In these bodies the pitras are not able to get relief from the sensory demands and conditions of the body such as hunger, thirst, heat, cold, fatigue, pain. In search of relief, once a year, they are attracted to living entities on the earth planet who are their descendants from previous and current lifetimes. Their descendants are karmic debtors to them.
At the time of śrāddha we can help these ancestors and also get their blessings for our personal progress.
The Dead Feed on the Living
The pitras approach the earth once a year during shradh through Lord Ganesha's grace to get relief from their sufferings.
They feed on the willing offerings made to them by descendants--OR: by forcefully taking good fortune energies from their unwilling or ignorant descendants.
Clearly it is in the interest of the descendants to help them, and so help themselves.
The ancestors will feed once a day (once in 24 hours) according to their time zone.
This is equivalent to every 12 months on the earth plane. This once-a-year period is recognized as the 'shradh' period.
The benefits of making special offerings during the 14 day Śrāddha period is:
For this work, the descendant also receives blessings and positive karma from the pitra to help him materially. This can greatly help the individual to progress spiritually as the material obstacles or problems are reduced and removed.
The Traditional Shradh Offerings
The shradh offerings to the ancestors are made through the brahmin category of persons (those connected to the spiritual energies, as through a religious-spiritual process or through other spiritual processes such as karmic healers); and through donations to those who are handicapped and the poor.
The effects of these two types of donations or offerings in the name of the ancestors works differently. Both types of offerings are recommended for maximum 'tarpan' (relief).
You can yourself directly offer 35 recommended items to the brahmins or the poor. Here is a list of these 35 items.
Offerings During the 14 days of Shradh
If the tithi is not known, then the offering can be made on the first or last day of shradh.
These offerings are made to pitras who are the most in need of help and those pitras who are obstructing one's progress the most.
Here is a list of 35 items recommended for donation during the Śrāddha that you can directly offer to the brahmins, or distribute to the poor.

"Śrāddha is a time
to heal, to honor your ancestors who gave you this body..."
For healers particularly, whether men or women, it is an enhanced opportunity to release many ancestors from their hellish existence, using healing methods in addition to whatever else they may traditionally observe.
Even where no traditional methods are available or possible, directly healing the ancestors through Reiki and the KQ Force is always an available option, and the grateful ancestors shower all such relatives with an abundance of blessings instead of pouring curses and obstacles on them.
The time of śrāddha is a great opportunity for connecting with the Divine, and for healing, relief and welfare work.
The annual śrāddha period creates some anxiety coming from the idea of unknown special and enhanced impact of supposed ghostly influences.
People become apprehensive additionally because it is recommended that new business or work not be started during this period. To understand this we need to examine how does this śrāddha period affect our lives.
The time of śrāddha is meant for connecting with and healing the ancestors who have a special relationship with us.
Pitras, or the fathering ancestors (or manes) have the ability to obstruct the progress of their familial descendants and relatives, as well as to bless them.
Obstructions in life progress from this source happens where the relatives do not offer the pitras oblations and sustenance food energy once a day in the pitraloka time zone—which is once a year in our planetary time zone.
The pitra connection is not just from the present birth family, but also includes birth families from previous lifetimes. The lineage of connectivity is also through other family members.
In other words one has a lot of ancestors to feed and take care of, so to speak. In particular, those ancestors who have passed away without fulfilling their procreative desires and who are tortured by this create a specific obstruction in one's life.
Vedic astrology recognizes a horoscopic influence position of pitra dosha, which is basically a defect or curse that prevents the fathering of male children. This is verifiable through the astrological methods and correlating this with individual horoscopic life-charts and ground realities in one's family life.
For the general public, the śrāddha period is an opportunity to heal their ancestors. There are procedures meant for releasing them from their tortured existence, which attract blessings and benefits to the descendants.
These benefits typically appear in the form of unexpected and enhanced progress in one's life in all areas.
The traditional methods of propitiating the ancestors in the Vedic Śrāddha ceremonies are good to do.
(See special note for healers at the beginning of this article).
In the Śrāddha ceremony, foodstuffs and oblations are offered to Viṣṇu, through the Brahmins and the agency of the son, and the sanctified and blessed food, prasādam, is then offered to the father and forefathers who have passed on.
If the forefathers are trapped in a ghostly form or in a hellish zone of existence, by their partaking of this blessed prasādam they are released from this torture.

Arctic Ice: There's bad news and worse news
Richard Littlemore | September 23, 2010
By Richard Littlemore • Thursday, September 23, 2010 - 16:55
Update: NSIDC pinpoints Sept. 19 as date of least Arctic ice extent in 2010
Arctic Sea Ice Extent, which the National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC) in Boulder, Co., announced had reached its annual minimum on Sept. 10, has now slipped even further, to a point that could be below the 2008 minimum. That would make this the second lowest summer ice cover in recorded history.
"It's awfully close (to the 2008 low)," NSIDC research scientist Dr. Walt Meier said on Wednesday (Sept. 22, 2010). "And even though the air temperatures are getting colder, the ocean has a lot of heat in it and can continue to melt ice."
Meier acknowledged that the NSIDC jumped the gun in announcing the apparent annual minimum. The ice extent had been increasing for three consecutive days and the scientists assumed the season had turned. But much of the ice is broken up and thin, conditions that mean "it doesn't take a lot to get late season melting," Meier said.
Ice watchers may be more concerned, however, by the inset Polar Science Center graph of ice volume, which shows that the total amount of ice (as differentiated from the extent of the Arctic ice cover) has dropped off a cliff.

This is the blog for Gavin and Carrie Jones and family. We live in Papua New Guinea and are working to support Bible translations in progress around the country and the people of PNG. Gavin is a helicopter pilot. Carrie has her degree in Public Health, but our "public" now consists of our son, Isaac, born in 2004 and our quintuplets, Will, David, Marcie, Seth, and Grace, all born in 2012.
But from everlasting to everlasting the LORD's love is with those who fear him and his righteousness with their children's children . . . Psalm 103:17
I loved the photos of all your sweet babies! And Isaac looks like a really neat big brother! Thanks for sharing them.ReplyDelete
Wow, nice job. Aunt Jane, why didn't you get on camera!?ReplyDelete
I first became aware of your family only today, and so today and from now on my prayers will be sent both in your direction and to our Father. Having a son with special needs I can still only imagine how you continue to cope daily with the needs of all six of your children. I remember well the days I spent desperately praying to God to spare our son. Each time I heard him cry (or now when I hear him yell at his older sister!)or when he is up through the night, I recall when he was a new born and all I wanted was for him to wake up and cry. I sometimes joke with friends to be careful what you wish for - Speach therapy was a blessing when he was five, but now he is rarely quiet! God won't give us what we can't handle, but it's not a sign of weakness to wish He would sometimes underestimate us! Hang in there, and know that there are prayers attached to every one of those million hits on your blog.
Blessings x6, from Ontario, Canada.
Thank you. Read this often., prayers from our entire womans study group in Plano, coming u r way....ReplyDelete

Thanksgivukkah shines light on modern Jewish culture
Her family's Hanukkah usually consists of cuddling up, chowing on Chinese food and watching a movie. Once night falls, the kids are ripping open their gifts.
Now they'll be mixing that with Thanksgiving dinner.
"It'll kill two birds with one stone," she said.
Hanukkah is shifting away from its Christmas ties and opening up the door for more Jewish families to partake in the festivities, Baskin said, adding that Thanksgivukkah will help "decouple-ize" Christmas and Hanukkah.
"You don't have to do this whitewashing thing like Americans will do with Christmas and Hanukkah being about giving and lights and all of these generic terms," Baskin said.
Knuckey's fine with Hanukkah's decoupling from Christmas this year. Her husband is Christian, and her immediate family exchanges gifts under the willowing verdant branches of a Christmas tree anyway. Knuckey said Thanksgivukkah will make December easier. The chaos to find Hanukkah and Christmas gifts will subside, she said.
Zimmerman said some are thrilled with Thanksgivukkah because it's going to bring families together. Others, she said, are excited about mixing latkes and cranberry sauce or blending dishes together.
Knuckey and her family hail from the American Jewish hub of New Jersey, where 6 percent of the population identifies as Jewish, according to the Pew Research Center. And they plan on mixing the two holidays together.
But even across the country in the Midwest, Jewish families are gearing up for Thanksgivukkah. Jane and Harvey Baker, from Missouri, where only 1 percent identify as Jewish, are looking forward to the super holiday. Harvey Baker praised Thanksgivukkah because it'll be a breath of fresh air for their Hanukkah celebrations.
"In all other years, some come to our Thanksgiving dinner and some come to our Hanukkah celebrations," said Harvey Baker, an American Jew from St. Louis. "It will be great to combine the holidays and the people who are part of each separate holiday."
Jane Baker said she's going to make yam potato latkes and apple turkey. Her family will be mixing games — they'll spin the dreidel and build pilgrim hats, both traditions they do each year for the two holidays — before lighting the menorah.
Thanksgivukkah is restoring some identity to the Jewish holiday. Though it is not a major holiday on the Jewish calendar, it's often been associated with Christmas and the winter holiday season, said Baskin, the editorial assistant.
Now, being that the eight-day stretch ends in the beginning of December according to the Jewish calendar, Hanukkah will find its own footing and be a unique holiday that American Jews can celebrate, Baskin said.
Zimmerman said Thanksgivukkah may make December a little more difficult for some families, but the restoration of family time and faith is ever present.
And for others like Knuckey, things will be easier. Unlike years past, Knuckey can easily bring her family together and enjoy the celebrations on time.
She won't be late to the holiday this year.
She'll be precisely on time.
"It's really nice to get the family together and celebrate happy occasions," Knuckey said. "It's a happy day."

Thea Vidale, Flo Rida Announced as Co-Host, Musical Guest for 2009 AVN Awards
Thea Vidale, Flo Rida Announced as Co-Host, Musical Guest for 2009 AVN Awards
Raunchy comedienne, bestselling hip-hop artist join star-studded awards show lineup
Posted Dec 05th, 2008 04:41 PM by
Marc Star
CHATSWORTH, Calif. —
Comedienne Thea Vidale will co-host the 2009 AVN Adult Movie Awards Show on Saturday, Jan. 10 at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas, with bestselling hip-hop artist Flo Rida to perform as the show's musical guest.
Vidale co-hosted the show once before with Savanna Samson in 2005 and had the crowd in stitches with her brand of raunchy humor. She feels right at home with AVN's adult industry crowd.
"Everybody [in the adult industry] is out of their fucking minds and that's where I need to be, with crazy people," says Vidale.
"She's one of the funniest comedian hosts we've ever had," notes AVN Awards Show producer Gary Miller. "She is the only female comedian host we've ever had for the AVN Awards. There's a different dynamic when you have a woman up there because she can do different types of humor that a man can't. That's one of the advantages that you get with her."
This year, expect Vidale to get political. "I would be a fool not to talk about Obama," Vidale adds. "This is the first couple in the White House in a long time that's fucking. Usually we have them motherfuckers just having parties. But we got a bona fide man and a hot-looking woman. Ain't no telling what's going on in the White House."
Vidale's co-hosts this year will be gonzo stars Belladonna and Jenna Haze. "I'm looking forward to meeting them," Vidale continues. "I hear they're both very cute — and naughty. As long they don't ask me to eat [pussy], I'm good. Not that I've never ate none, I'm just saying don't be asking me in front of everybody."
At some point during the 2009 AVN Awards Show, hip-hop superstar Flo Rida will take the stage and make show history. "He will be the biggest selling artist that we have ever had perform," says Miller. Rida's flagship single, "Low," has been on the Billboard charts for over 55 weeks and is the best selling digital download of all time.
"He will be there and he will be performing his biggest hits," adds Miller.
"Let the pussy licking and dick sucking begin!" exclaims Vidale.

I have my REST web service that should receive GET encoded requests with cyrillic letters.
For example: www.service/srv?param1=%D1%E0%ED%EA%F2
I know that this is Windows-1251 ISO-8859-1, but as a value of input parameter in my web service function allways have something like question marks . I gues that service convert string to UTF-8.
Is it possible to recive GET request in Windows-1251 codepage?
There was a similar thread: Cyrillic letters are incorrectly encoded in the C# Web Service The answer was to use utf-8 encoding. But im my case I cant change request to web service.
Web service description:
[WebInvoke(Method="GET", ResponseFormat=WebMessageFormat.Json,
BodyStyle = WebMessageBodyStyle.Bare,
UriTemplate = @"param?p1={p1}&p2={p2}&p3={p3}…")]

Shoddy camera work brings down this MILF-fest.
Chelsea's delectable dirty talk makes for a delicious POV performance. However, Chelsea's face is obscured when her dude jacks off onto it. Frankly, with the promise of hairless MILFs, we hoped to see more bald pussy (and did not expect such focus on the girls' bruises).
As the valiant Aimee jacks off her guy to finish, there's just too much focus on a black eye. Sassy Naudia's bruised spine is too apparent, and the framing of her scene does not seem to capture the best parts. Still, Simone gets rammed nicely against a desk. Also, ambitious Amber gives a wet blowjob, scooping up excess drool and smacking her unadorned pussy to satiate the viewer.

Today the group ride was heading back into Loveland, westbound on 57th Street at about 1:30pm. We were slowing to make aleft turn onto Monroe Avenue, getting ready to stop because there was eastbound traffic coming at us. The eastbound traffic was lined up in the right turn lane, three or four cars. The lead car was a Larimer County Sheriff's car.
The Sheriff's car driver held traffic and motioned to us to turn left. He or she held traffic allowing us to go first – a really, really nice gesture.
Then as the Sheriff's car passed us southbound, he or she flashed the top car lights as if to say "right on!"
Too often in past years, the Sheriff's office has gotten bad press. It's time for some well-deserved good press.

That's one of the more compelling moments in the book, all right. But Bolano had a habit of setting things up for reckless abandon and then letting all the excitement seep out in lengthy digression. The falcon/pigeon thing recounted, it just goes away unless you want to do the work of wondering what it all might mean on your own time. You just have to sign on for that.
Oh, and there's the New Yorker article on him, too:
Julio Cortazar's Hopschotch is one of the best novels I ever read, but the first eighty pages or so are a horrible morass of young intellectuals lazing around talking about jazz. I can't believe I got through it, but when I did, there was all sorts of nifty stuff.

Love the simplicity of this plugin, but it doesn't seem to be doing what I expect.
I want my media to be uploaded into a custom folder, which then needs to become a subdomain. Let's say my website is
The folder is:
subdomain (which translates into
The URL path should be:
http://subdomain.xyz.com (I have the CDN setup, and this domain works fine)
Yet, despite this plugin, the file paths for my media are still
xyz.com/wp/subdomain etc. What am I missing?
If I manually change the path in the browser to "subdomain.xyz.com", then the image works. So the uploading is working fine, but the file path conversion is not automatic.
Thanks for any pointers!

(Jim Brown/US Presswire)In Break It Down, I will go back and analyze the Xs and Os of a notable play or performance from Sunday.The Titans are 2-1 and have ripped off back-to-back wins, really in spite of Chris Johnson. Tennessee's franchise running back has just 98 yards rushing total in three games and is averaging 2.1 yards on his 46 carries.Sunday was another dud for Johnson, who recently signed a $55 million contract extension after a long preseason holdout. Johnson ran for 21 yards on 13 carries against Denver, a game that the Titans won anyway, 17-14, thanks to a 300-yard passing day from Matt Hasselbeck.Johnson did pitch in 54 yards receiving, including a 34-yarder that set up a Hasselbeck-to-Nate Washington score. That play was the highlight of Johnson's season so far -- he's yet to score a touchdown in three games and has not had a run of longer than nine yards.So, what's going wrong? Let's take a look back at Johnson's effort Sunday:That's the setup for Johnson's second carry of the day, on a 2nd-and-10 just after Denver had scored to take a 7-0 lead. As you can see (thanks to CBS' graphics), the Broncos are absolutely loading the box, despite this not necessarily being a running down.There are seven defenders within four yards of the line of scrimmage and an eighth, one of Denver's safeties, shows blitz off the right side just as Hasselbeck snaps the ball. Tennessee tries to run into this run-heavy defensive look anyway. The result:There's just nothing there. Denver has the lane Johnson's headed for clogged up with three defenders and all of his cutback options are lined with defenders, too. This is just the result of poor blocking combined with the Titans' blockers being outnumbered.Johnson wound up getting two yards on that play and Tennessee punted to end the series. The Titans came out on their next possession and went right to the ground again. This time, though, Denver dropped both its safeties and showed a more traditional 4-3 look.Tennessee had a two tight end set on the field and ran Johnson on a counter. This matchup allowed the Titans to put a hat on every defender, resulting in this:That's the biggest hole Johnson had to run through all day -- unfortunately for him, this play was called back, but it at least gives the Titans a glimmer of hope in the run game.However, those moments were few and far between.Tennessee would later open its fourth possession of the game with another run -- the Titans called run plays to start four of their five first-half possession and five of their first six possessions overall.Considering Denver came into this game, as just about every Titans opponent does, looking to take Johnson away and force Tennessee to the air, that's not exactly throwing a curveball. And, again, the Titans came out for that fourth possession with a two tight-end, two-receiver look.They tried to run Johnson wide left, but Denver took that away. This particular one is maybe the most troubling carry of Johnson's miserable day, though:The blocking? Not great. The defense is there, sealing off where Johnson's looking to go. But notice in that picture above that the entire backside of the play is wide open. Robert Ayers (No. 91 in blue) is Denver's left defensive end on the play and the one responsible for containing Johnson if he cuts back.Ayers is being blocked out of the play -- if Johnson had reversed course at this particular moment, he would have found nothing but green grass, Tennessee receiver Nate Washington blocking and two Denver secondary guys scrambling.Instead, Johnson hesitated, then tried to squeeze up into the spot where the play was originally designed. He was hit, bounced off a tackle or two and gained five yards.But to be blunt about it, Johnson is supposed to be better than that. The Titans paid him because he's capable of busting loose at any time, but part of that requires him to see the openings that other backs and opposing defenders don't see.On the very next play, he's being chased by defensive end Jason Hunter, but had the exact same opportunity.That's a run play to the right -- which Denver shut off. But again, the entire backside of the play is wide open and at least seven Broncos defenders are sealed off. Johnson's simply not seeing the field right now the way he usually does, and it's limiting his chances.Combine that with his team's shaky blocking and unimaginative play call, and it's a recipe for disaster.It's also a similar recipe to the one being followed in Atlanta. The Falcons got nothing out of running back Michael Turner Sunday in Tampa Bay -- 20 yards rushing on 11 carries -- and struggled with some of the same problems as Tennessee did.Can you count the defenders in that picture? That's nine Bucs within a five-yard radius of the line of scrimmage, including a safety and cornerback. Atlanta opted to run Turner to the short side anyway.No chance. The Falcons blocked poorly and Turner had no wiggle room, a combination that resulted in a loss.Atlanta has a better quarterback and more talented wide receivers/tight ends than Tennessee, but is facing the same dilemma: Teams want to take away the ground game first when they play the Falcons. That's going to make it tougher for Turner to find huge windows to run through.But Turner also topped 100 yards rushing in Weeks 1 and 2, partially because Atlanta opened the playbook and spread teams out in those games. Somehow, some way, Tennessee needs to find a way to do that -- a tougher challenge than ever with Kenny Britt likely lost for the season. Sunday's game was the third straight example of what happens when Johnson doesn't run well, the Titans fail to execute their blocks and the play calls stay stale. More Audibles

Max Hardcore's Motion for New Trial Denied
Max Hardcore's Motion for New Trial Denied
Appeal expected after Hardcore's Sept. 6 sentencing
Posted Jul 28th, 2008 02:27 PM by
Mark Kernes
TAMPA, Fla.
— In an order issued today, U.S. District Court Judge Susan Bucklew has denied the motion by defendants Paul Little (a.k.a. Max hardcore) and Max World Entertainment for a new trial and/or a judgment of acquittal for the charges upon which they were convicted on June 5. Little and Max World had been charged with interstate transportation of obscene material and of posting obscene material on the Internet.
Among the multiple bases for new trial or acquittal contained in the defense motion, authored by Max World attorney Jennifer Kinsley, were three instances of jury irregularities; charges of bias against the defendants allegedly committed by Judge Bucklew herself; failure of the prosecution to produce enough evidence for the defendants to be found guilty; and several legal issues based on the Supreme Court's ruling in
Lawrence v. Texas
Most of the issues raised in the defense motion have been chronicled in more detail in
AVN's comprehensive coverage
of the trial itself. For instance, the defense had charged that Judge Bucklew had failed to perform due diligence in
questioning the juror
who had sent a note on the third day of trial questioning whether the jury had to sit through all five of the movies charged in the indictment: The "Euro" versions of
Max Extreme 20
Golden Guzzlers 7
Planet Max 16
Fists of Fury 4
Pure Max 19
"Defendants fault the Court for not asking the juror whether: (1) the note reflected a prejudgment of the evidence as obscene; and (2) the contents of the note had been shared with other jurors," wrote Judge Bucklew in her order denying the motion.
But although Judge Bucklew claims that she "questioned the juror as to who wrote the note and found no basis for concluding that any prejudgment of the evidence or premature deliberations had taken place," there is no evidence of questioning on those two subjects in the transcript; merely instructions to the jury, as the judge notes in her order, "not to discuss the case with anyone or to begin deliberating until the end of trial." The judge also ruled that since the note had come from the one alternate juror, who played no part in the actual deliberations, the effects of the note or that juror's possible discussions with other jurors "ring hollow."
Another irregularity was the fact that an Assistant U.S. Attorney not related to the case had had a brief conversation with one juror in an elevator, saying to the juror, "You're not going up there to watch that porn?" The defense argued that the question was pejorative and might have affected the juror's opinion of the evidence, and that Judge Bucklew's failure to question that juror about the conversation amounted to error. The judge disagreed.
Finally, the defense cites the fact that, one evening after deliberations were already under way,
one of the jurors received a message
from her employer firing her from her job. The attorneys argued that the emotional fallout from her dismissal may have affected the juror's ability to deliberate — and indeed, the affected juror was one of three who had held out for acquittal for over 14 hours, but eventually — and, she later said, reluctantly — gave in to the majority and voted "guilty" on all charges. However, that juror was visibly upset, and the fact that she had been crying was evident as the foreman announced the verdicts in the courtroom. It was later discovered that the juror had sent a note to Judge Bucklew telling the judge of her firing, but that fact was not revealed until after the jury verdict was in. The defense has argued that the juror's having been fired may have made her less able to maintain her beliefs that the defendant was not guilty of the charges.
"The Court decided to wait until after the jury concluded its deliberations to speak with the juror, as the note concerned matters unrelated to the case and was purely a personal matter relating to the juror," Judge Bucklew argued in her order. "Defendants seem to argue that had the Court spoken to the juror before a verdict was reached, the Court would have had to excuse the juror from jury service and declare a mistrial. This argument is wholly speculative. After the jury's verdict was published to the Court, each juror was polled as to whether the verdict as published was their verdict. Significantly, each juror — including the juror in question — said that the verdict as published was their verdict."
It is likely that an appeals court will take a look at the full circumstances of that juror's mental state during deliberations, along with an affidavit which that juror is expected to file concerning that mental state and how it affected her ability to deliberate. It is also legally questionable whether Judge Bucklew should have withheld the juror's condition from the defense while deliberations were still in progress.
Judge Bucklew spent just one paragraph in the order reiterating her failure to dismiss the charges based on Little's substantive due process rights under the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments, merely citing and reiterating her pretrial rulings on that subject. She similarly dismissed the defense's argument that the "community" whose "standards" should govern material posted on the World Wide Web is the entire world, as recently affirmed by the Third Circuit in its
COPA ruling
The defense motion also took Judge Bucklew to task for failing to recuse herself from the trial after having made numerous remarks that could easily be seen as prejudicial against the defendants, mostly regarding the necessity to play the entirety of the movies charged in the indictment — a clear requirement of the Miller test for obscenity, which states that the charged material must be "taken as a whole." AVN's reporting of the trial noted numerous instances where the judge questioned the need to play the full videos for the jury, which remarks formed the basis for a mid-trial defense
Motion for Mistrial and/or Recusal of Judge
However, while Judge Bucklew admitted that, under the Eleventh Circuit rules, a judge should recuse him/herself "when a judge's remarks in a judicial context demonstrate such pervasive bias and prejudice that it constitutes bias against a party," she defended her own actions by claiming that "[n]either a trial judge's comments on lack of evidence, rulings adverse to a party, nor friction between the court and counsel constitute pervasive bias." An examination of the trial transcript, which an appeals panel is likely to do, should reveal that Judge Bucklew's comments went far beyond mere "friction" between the Court and the parties, and were not merely "comments on the lack of evidence" — in fact, the Court was attempting to withhold such evidence from the jury — nor could her comments be described merely as "rulings adverse to" the defense.
Finally, Judge Bucklew rejected the defense's claim that neither Little nor Max World had committed the crime of mailing obscene matter into the Middle District of Florida — a fact clearly attested to by one of the prosecution's own witnesses, James Komurek, owner of distributor JKG, Inc., which had performed the actual mailing — and that the government had therefore failed to present sufficient evidence of the defendants' guilt. Judge Bucklew merely noted that she had rejected that argument when the defense had presented it pre-deliberations, and that her opinion of the arguments had not changed. She similarly rejected the defense's claim — also the subject of a pre-deliberation motion — that the government had failed to present sufficient evidence that the Hardcore material violated the community standards of its intended audience, whom defense witness Dr. Michael Brannon had
as an "atypical deviant group."
According to Judge Bucklew, the Supreme Court's ruling in
Paris Adult Theater I v. Slaton
absolved the government of a requirement that it prove community standards — and, "Further, the verdict itself evidences the fact that the jury was able to determine that the charged materials violated the community standards of the Middle District of Florida." (Can anyone say, "Cart before the horse"?)
In short, Judge Bucklew denied all of the defense's motions for new trial and/or acquittal. However, it is almost certain that all of those issues, and several more, will be raised in Little's and Max World's appeal of the verdict to the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals, which will be filed shortly after the judge sentences the defendants, at a hearing currently scheduled for Sept. 6.

Or maybe the stars anchoring the planets are much larger in number?

The Big Switch: The War That Came Early (Paperback)
In 1941 Winston Churchill was Hitler's worst enemy. Then a Nazi secret agent changed everything.
What if Neville Chamberlain, instead of appeasing Hitler, had stood up to him in 1938? Enraged, Hitler reacts by lashing out at the West, promising his soldiers that they will reach Paris by the new year. Instead, three years pass, and with his genocidal apparatus not fully in place, Hitler barely survives a coup, while Jews cling to survival, and England and France wonder whether the war is still worthwhile. The stage is set for World War II to unfold far differently from the history we know courtesy of Harry Turtledove, wizard of what if?, in the continuation of his thrilling series: The War That Came Early.
Through the eyes of characters ranging from a brawling American serving with the Abraham Lincoln Brigade in Spain to a woman who has seen Hitler's evil face-to-face, "The Big Switch" rolls relentlessly forward into 1941. As the Germans and their Polish allies slam into the gut of the Soviet Union in the west, Japan pummels away in the east. Meanwhile, in the trenches of France, French and Czech forces are outmanned but not outfought by their Nazi enemy. Then the stalemate is shattered. In England Winston Churchill dies suddenly, leaving the gray men wondering who their real enemy is. And as the USSR makes peace with Japan, the empire of the Rising Sun looks westward its war with America about to begin.
About the Author
The author of many SF and fantasy novels, including "The Guns of the South", the "World War" series, and "The Case of the Toxic Spell Dump", Harry Turtledove lives in Los Angeles with his wife, novelist Laura Frankos, and their four daughters.
Praise For…
"For lovers of high-quality alternate history . . . definitely [Turtledove's] strongest yet."—Booklist
"The Hugo Award winner continues to delight in exploring the world of 'what if?' as he tackles a formidable subject."—Library Journal
"If you like alternate histories, you're going to like this series a lot."—The San Diego Union-Tribune

Global Deal: BP Seeks TNK-BP Sale
By Alex Macdonald
London – Oil major BP PLC said Friday it has informed its Russian partner it is pursuing the potential sale of its 50% stake in TNK-BP Holding in a move that would free BP from governance skirmishes at the joint venture, but will also deprive the company of significant earnings.
The announcement follows the sudden resignation of Russian billionaire Mikhail Fridman as chief executive of TNK-BP earlier this week, a sign of the deepening tensions between BP and the shareholders of its Russian partner Alfa Access Renova. BP shares rose as much as 5% after the news.

Video Industry News Video Company News Technology Industry News Technology Company News Novelty Industry News Novelty Company News Gay Industry News Gay Company News Legal Industry News All Company News
Released: May 01st, 2000
Running Time: 56
Director: Jocko
Company: Trampled Video
Cast: Ginger Paige, Chandler (I), Tramplee
Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: Specialty
Fans of the genre, especially those who like to see an age-spread, should enjoy this little buffet of humiliation.
Tramplee is a "bad, bad slut" and thus earns himself nearly an hour of smothering, toe-sucking, dragging, butt-bouncing, head-standing, and use as a trampoline for pissed off chicks in platform shoes. Lord love 'em.
Harsh lighting. No real character motivation or set up. The older fellow holds up impressively under the abuse of his pretty Bitch Queens as they blame him for everything and seem genuinely to cause him some discomfort.

Places the focus on the issue - potentially dangerous objects that the child thinks they can eat, etc - not on the people. Your eye is drawn to the objects, so you can clearly see what the issue is.

this idea has been done, although different execution. what the heck are the cannes judges thinking? I'm really disappointed.
I get the message, but why do they have to look like statues? That, I don't get.

I am making reasonable headway with the AllInOne SEO plugin after recently installing it. I have set "Use Tags for META Keywords" in the config, and on single posts and static pages that is working; also I see that on the page defined as the 'Blog' page, AIOSEO collects the tags of all posts in the blog and sets the keyword tag accordingly.
But I also have a separate 'News Items' page which is generated from a collection of posts authored with a category 'NewsItems', which is generated by my own template not by WordPress as the default blog page. This page comes out with no keywords.
I assume there is something I need to put in the template page (news.php) to get the desired SEO keywords. Can anyone tell me what? I have full access to the code for editing.

On July 8, 2016, Consumer Reports released ratings of hospitals based on how patients fared during elective surgery as well as surgery outcomes. The Swedish Orthopedic Institute rated in the top 34 US hospitals for hip replacement.
Swedish is pleased to announce the opening of the Center for Perinatal Bonding and Support– a partial hospitalization day program for moms and newborns. This intensive outpatient behavioral health treatment program is for pregnant and postpartum women with perinatal mood and anxiety disorders.
The energy was palpable at Vice President Biden's National Cancer Moonshot Summit on June 29. Two of our senior leaders joined the vice president and other participants in Washington, D.C. to work on ways to double the rate of progress toward ending cancer as we know it.

MIAMI (AP) - A federal jury in Miami continues the debate over evidence against a wealthy Venezuelan charged with acting as an illegal foreign agent in a scandal involving a suitcase full of cash.
The panel begins its third full day of deliberations Wednesday in the trial of defendant Franklin Duran, who faces up to 15 years in prison if convicted.
Prosecutors say Duran and others came to Miami in 2007 to conceal the source and destination of a suitcase stuffed with $800,000 discovered last year in Argentina.
Testimony showed the cash was a gift from Venezuela to the campaign of Argentina's president.
Duran claims he was entrapped by the FBI and that he came to the
U.S. to help a friend and protect business interests.
