Once Upon a Time had a game-changing episode Sunday night (March 10), in more ways than one. Don't keep reading if you haven't watched the episode yet.
Read the full article »
This week's Once Upon a Time reveals the backstory of the simple miller's daughter who grew up to be the terrifying Cora (Barbara Hershey), the woman responsible for making The Evil Queen (Lana Parrilla) the villain she is today. Rose McGowan is the actress tasked with showing us Cora's humble beginnings, portraying the character when she first made the outrageous claim that she could spin straw into gold.
HuffPost TV caught up with McGowan to find out how it felt to step into Barbara Hershey's shoes, the highlights of working with Robert Carlyle (Rumplestiltskin) and whether Cora is actually capable of love.
What are you allowed to reveal about this week's episode?
I can reveal that it was certainly an honor getting to play Barbara Hershey, younger, because she's a tremendous actress. If you're going to play a part she was playing, that's a good one. I love people that are operatically evil — the interesting part is that young Cora is not. She does not start that way; most people, unless they are true sociopaths, do not start off at evil, so to speak. She starts out dirt poor. So she really claws her way to the top and Rumple helps, a lot. He saved her life.
How was the experience of filming with the excellent Robert Carlyle?
Beyond. When Eddy [Kitsis] and Adam [Horowitz], the creators, called me and they asked me if I would consider doing a part on the show, I said, "Absolutely," the caveat being that I really want my scenes to be with Robert Carlyle because he's such a tremendous actor. So then, I got my wish and then I was like "Oh no, just kidding — it's Robert Carlyle and he's a tremendous actor, I've got to step up my game!"
So it was thrilling and terrifying and fun and scary and everything all at once, but we had a fantastic time together. When you work with an actor who is that good, it's like being professional tennis player. You're playing with a pro at that point and you're a pro yourself. So, it's really nice, high-level tennis that you don't often get to play with people
Were you a fan of the show beforehand?
I was a fan of the show. I didn't really watch it regularly, just because I travel all the time and I'm a very irregular TV watcher, period, but I certainly knew the story and the storyline. I thought this was an amazing way to introduce me into that world. What better way than playing somebody who is one of the coolest people on the show, one of the coolest characters? I love evil. I think there is something operatic and wonderful about it. I figured out that it's not really much different than having comic timing. It's very similar. You have to hit almost the exact same beat as if you were doing a comedy, but you're doing something else. It has very specific beats. This was so well written. They did a really tremendous job. There is a scene that I have with Robert Carlyle, later in the show, that's probably one of my favorite pieces I've done in a long time. It's a very emotional scene and it was really beautifully written and beautifully acted by Robert, hopefully I did it justice.
"Most people who are on the evil side, there are things in their lives that happen to make them that way," the former Charmed star tells THR. Plus, a sneak preview at Sunday's "The Miller's Daughter."
Who was Cora before she became Regina's evil mother?
On Sunday's Once Upon a Time, "The Miller's Daughter," viewers will be introduced to young Cora (Charmed star Rose McGowan), banished to a tower and ordered to follow through on a promise that she can spin straw into gold, with the aid of Rumplestiltskin (Robert Carlyle).
For McGowan, it was crucial that she not copy Barbara Hershey's portrayal. "You're playing someone that's alive, that the audience knows really well; they know her mannerisms, they know her voice," she explains to The Hollywood Reporter.
McGowan talked to THR about jumping into an established show like Once Upon a Time, how young Cora is introduced and the one scene to look out for.
The Hollywood Reporter: Were there nerves jumping into an established world like Once Upon a Time?
Rose McGowan: Absolutely. There were quite a few nervous-making factors. You're playing someone that's alive, that the audience knows really well; they know her mannerisms, they know her voice. What I tried to do was watch a lot of Barbara Hershey's stuff and then I kind of just forgot about it. I didn't want to go and try to imitate somebody. I immersed myself in it and then completely disregarded it. Hopefully it tied together and fans won't be too mad at me. [Laughs]
No need to find a secret spell on how to kiss Rose McGowan: The former Charmed star will tell you what she likes – and what she doesn't.
"Don't be sloppy!" McGowan, 39, tells PEOPLE. "That's the worst. You could find the hottest guy on the planet and if he's a bad kisser, it just doesn't work."
The actress hosted Cosmopolitan and Maybeline's Kisses for the Troops event on Monday in New York City and spilled the beans on what she considers to be a sexy smooch.
"I like the man to be medium aggressive, not somebody who's going to shove his tongue down your throat," she says. "That's not sexy."
Rose McGowan, best known for her wicked roles in Jawbreaker, Scream, Charmed, Grindhouse, and, most recently, Conan the Barbarian, has a lot of gay pride. The actress claims that she makes even her gay friends seem not as gay when she's around and campaigned against Proposition 8, which sought to ban same sex marriage in the state of California.
Up next, the 39 year old actress will star in the spooky The Tell Tale Heart, based on Edgar Allan Poe's story. McGowan was tight-lipped about details of her return to television this fall for a new series on ABC.
Fresh off a plane, McGowan granted Watermark an exclusive interview before her appearance at Spooky Empire – The Ultimate Horror Weekend in Orlando.
Tell me about what you'll be doing at Spooky Empire in Orlando this weekend.
I'll be there promoting Scream, Charmed, and Grindhouse.
Is this your first time doing one of these?
Yes. It's fun to be able to meet people one on one. Generally, you're kept back from people, so this will be a completely different experience to see the people that are your fans. It's special.
I have to warn you though; you're going to encounter quite a few gay nerds.
That's ok. They're my favorite! If you have to be a nerd, you might as well be gay. It'll just make me happier.
Actress and gay rights activist Rose McGowan is still glowing over the announcement that the U.S. military policy "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" – put into place by the Clinton administration in 1993 – was repealed in July, allowing openly homosexual men and women to serve in the armed forces.
"It's amazing, and I think primarily how it's been reacted [to] within the troops has been more inspirational than anything," she told FOX411's Pop Tarts column at amfAR's Inspiration Gala Los Angeles to benefit the Foundation's AIDS research programs. "My brother flies F16's in the Air Force, and for him, it's been a non-issue this entire time, and for most military people I know it's the same. It's us out here in the public that has a problem with it, which I think is a pity. Just like anything, it's new and uncomfortable for them at first, and then it's normal."
Read an interview with Rose from the set of The Tell-Tale Heart, courtesy of Nola.com, at our very own library.
I'm kind of at this strange crossroads in my life. I'm trying to figure out where I want to be. And I love Los Angeles in the sense that I love my friends there and I love my life there, but the business 24-7 just grinds on you. There's no escape for you. I notice that my self-esteem and my general sense of well-being is much higher when I'm not there, and it's sort of sad to live your life somewhere that makes you sad.
With its rich stock of midnight drearies — to say nothing of its black cats and purloined miscellany — New Orleans at any time of year feels like a custom-made setting for an Edgar Allan Poe story.
At Halloween time, however, it feels like a match made in — well, made somewhere. Which explains just about everything you need to know about the tone of the indie production of Poe's Tell-Tale Heart that crept quietly into town almost two weeks ago and which will continue shooting through Nov. 10.
For star Rose McGowan (Charmed, Grindhouse) that kind of instant atmosphere is an actor's dream. "Basically, if I could liken this movie to anything," McGowan said, "it would be a dark moonlit night, (seen) through the Spanish moss."
In other words, although Poe's original Gothic tale doesn't specify a location, the specter of New Orleans can't help but float in and out of writer-director John La Tier's feature-length adaptation. In fact, La Tier, who moved to an apartment near the Algiers ferry during the script's early development, couldn't resist but to incorporate the city's textures into his film.
Rose McGowan has clearly been raising her profile this fashion week. In addition to the Tommy Hilfiger after-party and the Preen show, she made it to Donna Karan Monday afternoon. McGowan, who just starred in Conan the Barbarian in a role that had her look "completely insane with prosthetics," her next role is in a television film called The Pastor's Wife. "I am playing an invisible woman," she said. "It's the hardest part I have ever done." She was far from invisible at the Donna Karan show, though, wearing a striking red Donna Karan dress replete with matching lipstick. She clearly loves the fashion spectacle. "It's like running on fumes, but goddamit we all look pretty," she said.

Lumpkin County took advantage of two North Hall miscues in the seventh inning to beat the Trojans 3-2 on Saturday in Dahlonega.
JEFFERSON - A sporting tradition spanning four decades, the 45th annual Jefferson Relays, takes place beginning at 10 a.m. Saturday at Dragons Stadium with more than 20 track teams from around the state participating. A trophy presentation will take place following the day's final race.
The threat of severe weather has forced cancellations of the following baseball games today: Pickens at Flowery Branch, Creekview at Lumpkin County, Gilmer at North Hall, and Towns County at Lakeview Academy.
CUMMING - Sidelined West Forsyth head coach Byron Orr provided his team with a little extra spark of motivation in the Wolverines matchup with Gainesville on Thursday night.
The Lumpkin County High baseball team is in second place right now in the Region 7-AAA standings, but the Indians (14-1, 12-1) still control their own destiny in terms of winning the school's first region baseball title.

JEFFERSON - The Jefferson Dragons (9-2, 5-1) returned home Friday where they faced off against Region 8S-AA leader North Oconee for the second time this season. The Dragons lost the first meeting between the two teams on March 24.
Who would have thought that this year's baseball season would not hinge on the right arm of a fireballing 6-foot-3 senior or timely hits in a close game, but on the acts of a little old lady commonly known as Mother Nature?
Lumpkin County scored 12 runs in the second inning and finished the game with 13 hits en route to a 15-2 win in five innings against Flowery Branch on Saturday in Dahlonega. Drew Uptegraph (5-0) earned the win for the Indians (14-1, 12-1 Region 7-AAA), allowing only two runs in three innings.
Gainesville High junior quarterback Blake Sims verbally committed to play football at the University of Alabama during a visit Saturday to Tuscaloosa, Ala.
With his team off to a slow start, West Hall coach Wolfgang Jager stood on the sidelines hoping for a momentum changing play.
FLOWERY BRANCH - Flowery Branch freshman Imani Cross isn't expected to win baseball games with his role as a courtesy runner, but that's exactly what he did in the seventh inning against North Hall on Friday night at the Hog Mountain Sports Complex.

WASHINGTON - Violent crimes and property crimes declined in 2007 from the previous year, the FBI reported yesterday, but one expert warned the figures could mask rising murder rates among young black men.
In preliminary figures for crimes reported to police, the bureau said the number of violent crimes declined by 1.4 percent from 2006, reversing two years of rising violent crime numbers. Violent crime had climbed 1.9 percent in 2006 and 2.3 percent in 2005.
Property crimes were down 2.1 percent last year, the largest drop in the last four years.
The largest declines were in vehicle theft, down 8.9 percent; in rape, down 4.3 percent, and murder, down 2.7 percent.
The crime trends were not uniform. Murders, for instance, were down in cities of more than 250,000, including an enormous 9.8 percent drop in cities of more than a million residents. But murders rose in some small cities - up 3.7 percent in cities of 50,000 to 100,000, up 1.9 percent in cities of 100,000 to 250,000, and up 1.8 percent in cities under 10,000. Historically, national murder trends have begun in the largest cities and moved over several years to smaller cities.
Because the FBI preliminary figures do not contain the detailed age, race, and gender breakdowns available in the final report later in the year, they may mask a growing murder rate among black male teenagers and young adults, said James Alan Fox, professor of criminal justice at Northeastern University.
"Violence is down among whites of all ages and both genders; it's up among black males, not black females," he said. "When you blend all the national numbers together you fail to see this divergence. There are many more whites in the population, so their decline can dwarf the increase among young black males."

Parallel Parking Tips From An Auto Geek
Parallel parking is a type of parking that involves backing up to park between two cars, to form a line. Many driving tests include parallel parking because it's a basic parking maneuver. At some point in a person's lifetime parallel parking will be necessary. Parallel parking is used on streets with no other parking but street parking.
Before one can understand the basics of parallel parking, there are rules and regulations one must know. First, spaces in front of fire hydrants are no parking zones. The fire hydrant parking zone is considered 15 feet, which means no parking 15 feet before or after the fire hydrant. There is no parking in front of driveways, on railroad tracks, or within 20 feet of an intersection or crosswalk.
When it's time to parallel park, put on your blinker and pull up next to the parking spot so the spot is on your right. Make sure there is enough room for your vehicle to fit. Look at the surroundings to be sure there are no fire hydrants, and all regulations will be met. Check for traffic coming up behind the vehicle, if no cars are coming then proceed on. Pull up next to the car in front of the parking space. Align your vehicle's rear tires with the rear tires of the vehicle in front of the parking space. Turn the wheel all the way to the right and slowly back up. Once your vehicle's passenger side door is aligned with the bumper of the other car turn the wheel to the left and slowly finish backing up. Watch the car behind the parking space, so your vehicle won't bump it. If your vehicle is crooked, back up and move forward while adjusting your steering wheel to get the perfect fit. Be sure to leave enough space behind and it front of the vehicles. If parking on a hill be sure put the parking brake on and turn the steering wheel towards the curb, or away from traffic.
When leaving the parking space, make sure that the vehicle's wheels are straight. Slowly back up as far as the vehicle behind will allow, without hitting the other vehicle. Turn the steering wheel towards traffic, and turn on the blinker. Check in your mirrors and behind you for traffic coming. When the road is clear start easing forward. Watch the vehicle in front of the parking space, and be sure there is enough room to exit the parking space. Once the front bumper has cleared the other vehicle's rear bumper, adjust the steering wheel to ease into the right lane of the road.
Parallel parking takes practice, and a little bit of patience. The more that a person parallel parks, the better, and more comfortable the person will be at it. For people that are uncomfortable with parallel parking, there is technology for automated parking where vehicles parallel park themselves.

The Wii is certainly still selling, it was close behind the 360 even with the release of Halo 3.Originally Posted by cyberzomby
What do you think mario galaxy will do I think thats going to sell as much or even more than ssbbOriginally Posted by spenser101
Just wait for the major wii titles to come out like some people said. Than the wii will sell again :P
Tip of the day:
A big mistake a lot of you make is that wiiware games will be free.
Wiiware is just the same like the virtual console. Its different in that it offers new games instead of old console games.
I can think of some easy games ( Like tetris and some other in that direction ) that can be free but the majority will cost money.
The Wii is certainly still selling, it was close behind the 360 even with the release of Halo 3.Originally Posted by cyberzomby
I remember a friend saying that there were 917 preorders at the gamestop he worked at for Halo 3. Its kinda sad to see that so little Halo 3 sold
Send PM before addingXD.

The only "production problem" is that the demand for the Wii was unexpectedly high. Nintendo is manufacturing far more consoles than Microsoft or Sony.Originally Posted by sagema
And Nintendo has already increased production by an additional 2 million per year.
wait i thought the wii beat halo 3 for the month of september......i posted that in a different thread
the mario that's roomed with mush
my wii is not connected to the internet, so i can't play brawl online for a bit....please do not spam inbox with friend code requests
Well keep this in mind too, the Wii is still being shipped and sold on a limited supply - there are still tons of people out there who want Wii's but still can't find it. Imagine if there were enough Wii's to go around?
Also while Mario Galaxy will rack up some hefty sales, no doubt that SSBB will put out some serious numbers when it arrives....had they only been able to get out by Christmas...
The Wii Effect - a look at Nintendo's epidemic
im atually quite shcoked that the wii still managed to stay bumper to bumper with 360 in september, considering that the wii had to signature titles out, i actually belive that this would count as a victory for nintendo,........just imagine when signature titles do comeout like, bwii,mario galaxy, brawl, mario kart and such......wii sales will be through the roof and ps3 and 360 will be eating the wii's dust

mario bros
everbody votes
mii contest
You also have to take into account that most people who bought 360s before Halo 3, bought it specifically for Halo 3 in the first place. They are impressive numbers, but for a game that was hyped THAT much, I expected at least 1M 360s for September. The holiday season may add another half million 360s, but if you are a Halo fan, you would have the game from day one anyway.
Nice stats, and that was expected really.
At least from me, I was not shocked by this.
Wii's last game that many bought was Metroid.
But with Galaxy coming out as well as Battalion Wars 2, things for the Wii should start to look up.

I tried this today for lunch and it was really delicious! This was really quite different tasting - I loved the warm pineapple in this dish. I used shrimp for my cooked meat and left out the eggs and raisins (I used extra pineapple instead). I am delighted that with this recipe I was able to turn my leftovers not only into a tasty lunch treat, but also a meal fit for company. Thank you for a really great recipe!
Great way to get rid of leftovers. I didn't have any white pepper, so I made it without; given the other rave reviews, this might have been a necessary ingredient. I'm not sure the recipe as written really serves 4. I used more chicken than called for; next time I'll also use more rice.
Loved the flavors with the pineapple. I added broccoli and egg but no meat, thought it was too salty so will use 1/4 t. next time.

CHICAGO - Say goodbye to those super-sized fries - McDonald's is slimming down its menu.
The hamburger giant has started phasing out its trademark Supersize fries and drinks in its U.S. restaurants as part of an effort to simplify its menu and give customers choices that support a balanced lifestyle, a company spokesman said Tuesday.
By the end of 2004, super size will no longer be available at the nation's 13,000-plus McDonald's outlets except in certain promotions, McDonald's spokesman Walt Riker said.
The move comes as the world's largest restaurant company, and fast-food chains in general, are under growing public pressure to give consumers healthier food options
Lock of hair used to prove daughter's identity
PHILADELPHIA - Luz Cuevas took one look at the dimpled, dark-haired little girl at a birthday party and instantly knew two things: She was watching her own daughter - presumed killed in a 1997 fire - and she needed a way to prove it.
So Cuevas pretended the 6-year-old girl had gum in her hair, removed five strands from the child's head, folded them in a napkin and placed them in a plastic bag.
"Because of TV, I knew they needed hair for the DNA," Cuevas said Tuesday.
The DNA tests confirmed a mother's intuition.
The girl was Cuevas' only daughter, Delimar Vera - the girl everyone else believed had perished in a house fire when she was only 10 days old.
Investigators believe a family acquaintance stole the baby from her crib, set the fire to cover the crime and raised the little girl as her own.
Carolyn Correa, of Willingboro, N.J., who was wanted on charges of arson and kidnapping, surrendered to police in Philadelphia on Tuesday afternoon, said her attorney, Jeffrey Zucker.
More bad hormone news: Estrogen alone risky, too
WASHINGTON - Long-term use of estrogen slightly increases women's risk of a stroke and possibly of dementia, the government said Tuesday, halting the nation's last major study of the hormone a year early because of the safety concern.
Using estrogen alone - as roughly 5.6 million women who've undergone hysterectomies do - doesn't appear as risky as taking it with the hormone progestin. Use of estrogen alone for seven years didn't increase women's risk of breast cancer or heart attacks, while taking the two-drug combination for even shorter periods did.

The Next Jet ✪
Nextant Aerospace has introduced a major upgrade to the 400XT, a remanufactured jet based on the Hawker Beechjet 400A/XP airframe that Cleveland-based Nextant has been selling since 2011. The new remanufactured jet, the Nextant 400XTi(216.261.9000, www.nextantaerospace.com), is equipped with the same powerful Williams engines and Rockwell Collins Pro Line avionics as its predecessor, and the same updated engine nacelles and pylons that extend the aircraft's range to about 2,300 miles.
The 400XTi features a new composite cabin shell that leaves additional headroom and shoulder room, making the most of the aircraft's squared-oval cabin design. This shell also provides extra insulation for a quieter flight. In the cockpit, a new auto-throttle reduces pilot workload while saving fuel. The wings feature raked winglets that add to the jet's efficiency.
Nextant will deliver the $4.95 million 400XTi as a new aircraft with all of its major components refurbished or replaced and a full two-year warranty. Fractional-share and membership provider Flight Options, which is owned by the same investment group that owns Nextant, plans to take delivery of as many as two dozen of the jets over the next three years.

African-American leaders leave mark with Alpha Phi Alpha
There's something to be said for having the opportunity to follow in the footsteps of historic African-American figures such as Martin Luther King Jr., Frederick Douglass and W.E.B. DuBois. With Alpha Phi Alpha, individuals can do just that.
Alpha Phi Alpha is the first intercollegiate Greek-letter fraternity established for African-Americans. While the fraternity was originally established in 1906 at Cornell University, it has had a formal role in the Erie community since 1971. In that year, Northwest Pennsylvania's alumni chapter, Kappa Beta Lambda, was officially founded.
While there is currently no undergraduate Alpha Phi Alpha chapter active at any of the region's colleges and universities, a chapter has previously been active at Edinboro University of Pennsylvania.
Perhaps no one in the area understands the value of Alpha Phi Alpha more than Fred Rush, who was a founding member of the region's alumni chapter. Rush, who works as coordinator of community initiatives in Erie Mayor Joseph Sinnott's office, has been an Alpha Phi Alpha brother for more than 50 years, pledging in 1962 while he was a student at Pennsylvania State University.
"I think it's a great thing to have nationally and internationally," says Rush, who is the historian and chaplain for the alumni chapter. "It's a great networking tool, training tool and community organizational tool."
Unlike many other organizations, Alpha Phi Alpha is a lifelong commitment. When a man joins the fraternity, he is expected to honor the fraternity's mission and remain committed for the remainder of his life.
Additionally, the fraternity also differs from others because members are allowed to join at the alumni level provided they agree with Alpha Phi Alpha's mission and values. Current alumni President Dr. Kahan Sablo is evidence of that.
"I actually came in at the graduate level (in 2006) because I valued the goals and the aims of the fraternity," says Sablo, who is the vice president for student affairs at Edinboro University. "So, in order to align myself with like-minded brothers, I saw the fraternity as a way to do that."
Dr. William Trice, the eldest of the Alpha Phi Alpha members in the region, joined the fraternity after he returned from serving in the U.S. Navy during World War II and went to the University of Pittsburgh for his dental degree. "A group of fellows said 'We'd like to have you in Alpha Phi Alpha,'" he recalls. "The quality of the young men impressed me. They were great guys. There were so many men of color who were so dynamic.
"They were overachievers. If you are going to set your stars ... you want to set them up with the overachievers," he says.
Trice moved to Erie with his wife, Dr. Mildred M. Trice, after dental school. He raised two daughters here, one a lawyer now in Colorado and another who is a dentist in his Erie practice.
Trice has shared his shoot-for-the-stars goals with both his children and his grandchildren.
"We have been fortunate to live the American dream," he notes.
Some of the goals and aims of Alpha Phi Alpha that Sablo and Trice allude to are developing leaders, promoting brotherhood and academic excellence as well as providing community service. In the past year and a half, the local alumni chapter has had a part in promoting all of those aims.
For example, this past fall, Alpha Phi Alpha participated in a back to school drive where the fraternity collected school supplies to donate to Erie barber Michael Hooks, who hands them out to students on Free Haircut Day in August. Alpha Phi Alpha also coordinated a campuswide voter registration drive at Edinboro University in the fall.
However, one of the group's greatest recent achievements came in November 2011 when it hosted the Pennsylvania Association of Alpha Chapters conference in Erie at the Avalon Hotel and at Edinboro University. More than 200 brothers from various chapters across the state traveled to Erie for the event.
Though, arguably the most important goal of Alpha Phi Alpha remains the idea of mentoring and developing leaders. To help reach this goal, various brothers will often visit Erie high schools and talk with African-American men to offer some perspective.
"When you're going in, and you're talking to some of the minority young men, and it could be black or Hispanic and what have you, but it was good for them to see adult men that look like them that have gone on to go to college and may have the same background that they have," says Wayne Patterson, who works as the assistant director of human resources and labor relations at Edinboro. He is the current area director for the region's alumni Alpha Phi Alpha chapter. "Coming in talking to them about my life, Kahan's life (and) some of the things that we've gone through, but we were still able to accomplish the goal of going to college, obtaining the degree and becoming a productive member of the community."
The idea of mentoring and leadership is especially valuable for Patterson, who says he still remembers the people who played an important role in mentoring him.
"People have helped me along the way. Now it's my turn to reach back and help someone else too," says Patterson, who joined the fraternity in 1988 while he was an undergraduate student at Edinboro University. "That's what I do, and I think that's what our fraternity promotes. To me, I don't have a biological brother, so this is almost like my extended family."
For Patterson, Alpha Phi Alpha is like family, but for others, the fraternity literally is family.
Fred Rush's son, Cathedral Preparatory School and Penn State University graduate Charles Rush is an example.
"Growing up in the house of an Alpha man, I saw how he has taken the goals and aims of the Alphas and applied them to his life," says Charles Rush, who joined the fraternity at the alumni level in 2007 and is currently a Juris Doctorate student at Villanova University.
As for the future, Sablo says one of the fraternity's top goals is to get an undergraduate chapter back up and running at Edinboro University. Sablo estimates that should be done in one to two years.
Fred Rush also sees that as a realistic goal.
"Like everything else, fraternities tend to peak and go into valleys. I think they're coming back now because networking is so important for people coming out of school," says Rush. "It's a great complement to the social networking that we're doing now. You can communicate with fraternity brothers all over the world and you know when you see that, you already have something in common." LEL

8th grade, before one of the school dances. Ha!
The wait can be long, but it also can be pretty fast! The bud quality is top notch, plus, they have a few strains grown by a vet. Always great to support our vets.
My budtender/delivery man (you always get the same delivery guy, which is pretty awesome. More personalized.) is extremely knowledgeable and extremely helpful. They really bend over backwards to satisfy you. The best customer service I have received from any dispensary.
Plus, there's no delivery charge or tax!!! If you're in the area and don't feel like leaving your house, call them! You will not be disappointed!!!
When marijuana becomes legalized I have a feeling the better shops will end up looking a lot like this place: great prices, great buds (and what a selection!), and hot bud tenders with mediocre knowledge of the flowers. Nothing wrong with that at all!
It's in a big, nice building. Yes, you might have to wait a little bit. Get over it. Yes, you will have to pay tax. Get over it. At $35 an eighth what the hell do you have to complain about? Especially when a lot of those buds would go for $45+ at damn near any other club.
This club is awesome. It's right off the freeway and has a great selection of truly great buds, for the price. You will be impressed, I promise. Especially for what's left of the clubs in sac. I can only think of one club that has this place beat, and that club has every club i've ever been to beat. Think Montel.
I've been coming here for a while and they are consistantly great. Incredibly friendly staff, each one of them. Their buds are a little pricey, but they do always offer an affordable selection, though.
None or the security guards have ever bothered me, actually, i've always thought CC has nicer security guards than a lot of other places.
Overall, this club is awesome. Great bud selection, and their concentrate bar is impressive as well. Check them out!
We really appreciate the kind words and great review! We hope to see you soon!

But that's about the best they get.
They have a decent bud selection, although more often than not it was dry.
What really bothered me is that twice they tried and pass non medicated chocolates off as hash chocolate samples. For both my first time patient treat, and their 2 gifts for joining the "vip club." Don't lie to me. It's just insulting.
And yes, I am 100% positive they were not medicated.
1 person thought this review was helpful
Abatin is far and way the very best dispensary I have ever been to. This collective is the shining star for which all other legitimate dispensaries should aspire to be. Never once have I ever seen such professionalism or knowledge of the medication. And the prices are more than competitive.
To be fair, I have only been here one time. Although, it would be hard to see how anyone would be anything less than amazed with overall experience and product they produce.
Tried to stop by the other day and nobody answered the door, actually, the door bell had been removed. I also tried to go to NorCal right down the street and couldn't find it. Go figure.
1 person thought this review was helpful
This place blew me away! Their $10 g's are better than a lot of clubs $15-18. No bs. Frosty and legit highs. They even had $5 g's that looked legit. Also, $10 hash grams. ALL their hash is $10!!
Awesome place. Nice set up, as well.
I still can't get over the price and selection!
My first trip was just okay. The second and third, however, were much more impressive. Great bud selection, with a growing top shelf selection.
The atmosphere is much more chill here, so don't expect a fancier set up. That doesn't mean that they don't have great buds at every shelf. Definitely worth a stop in, I just wish it was closer to me.
If you are on the fence about coming here, definitely go. You wont regret it.
I have three favorite clubs in sacramento, and this is definitely one of them. Awesome, awesome bud selection. Really nice (mostly cute) budtenders who know their medicine and always make great suggestions. I love coming here, great edible selection too.
My only gripe is that they are a little out of the way, but it is way worth it.
Can't say enough about them!
We are so happy to be in you top 3 favorite clubs in sac! Thank you so much for your complements and feedback! We cant begin to say how much we appreciate you! Thank you from all at Cc101!
1 person thought this review was helpful
One of the worst clubs I have ever been to. I don't like writing negative reviews, but it's just not what I expected.
The bud selection was one of the sparsest i've ever come by, and the quality was poor as well. Poorly trimmed, and the smell wasn't desirable either.
The employees were nice enough, although the wait was rather long.
They had cool freebies, so that's a positive.
Overall, I'd avoid this club. I do feel bad for writing this review, just a warning. I do hope they improve.

I created an app icon for a client, but it got declined and they went with something else, so I thought I'd turn it into something I can show! Was tricky getting the shadows and shapes to look like an open ring box. Was fun to create though : ]

I am creating this team for the sole purpose of creating a hack that has been floating around my brain for a while that is begging to be made. Because of my higher expectations of the team, I have no trouble seeing us going on to create other hacks (either in a series/in conjunction with Pokemon Wild or seperate completely) or even porting our main hack to RMXP. It is my expectation that you have worked on a hack before, but seeing as that is kind of a high goal the main requirement is that you are able to work on a professional level with others.
Note: We will be using Asana to coordinate due dates.
Our very first project, that inspired the creation of the team, will be entitled Pokemon Wild that details the journey of a young man seeking both vengeance against the man the murdered his family and adventure in a newly discovered and thought to be completely untouched region. Many plot twists and turns are planned (like encounters with "savages") but I don't want to give to much away for fear of ruining major story lines for those interested in the game.
Most of you have seen the movie Inception (often thought to be an allegory for the real life movie making progress) and that is how I want you to envision our team. The best of the best in our respective fields coming together to produce results. Note, for every position you must be able to add your contribution to the game (kind of goes with out saying but just wanted to clarify).
The Director/Writer:
That's me. I've got it covered. I'm the one with the creative vision and the administrative experience to make this all work out. I'm a nice guy, and I've been told good to work with, but that isn't going to get in the way of getting the project finished. My job is to both plot the story and actually script it out, but also to manage due dates for the rest of the team and make it all come together.
The Architect/Mapper/Tiler*:
Extremely important for the success of Pokemon Wild. Part of the whole appeal is that this is practically a whole new world, which means a whole new set of native fauna, new "architecture", and new geographical style. The final project needs to have new tiles for plants, ground, and buildings (though some old will be used). The game is going to go through forest, desert, city, coast, and mountainous regions so be prepared to get creative for less repetition.
Added bonus if you can make/program the overworld map.
The Actor/"Casting"/Spriter*:
You will be spriting out the various characters as well as the random trainers. Overworlds, back and battle sprites, the works. This one requires a lot of creativity because of the sheer number of different characters and "trainers" present in the plot, you will truly need to enjoy doing this or it will get boring. I reaaaaaally don't like fakemon, but depending on a decision we will make as a team, it may be for the best of the hack; if this is the case, be prepared to take descriptions and turn them into realistic pokemon. Even if fakemon aren't present, pokemon from newer generations probably will be so be ready to bring them into the game as well.
Sound Engineer:
Again this is a completely original game, so it'll need a completely redone soundtrack. Just think, you could be the very next Hans Zimmer, but for videos games! A whole new medium, to work with yet to be completely taken by storm. You could be that.
Graphics and Promotion:
Overall graphics like opening screen and such. You'll also be working with promotion of the game and the graphics associated with that.
The Audience/Tester:
Needs to be comfortable with critiquing completely. Usually this is an underrated job but I can recognize just how integral of a role the tester is in such a large project. Minor ability to correct mistakes in various programs would be highly appreciated.
*This job really asks a lot from a single person, so if you can't do all these skills, don't worry we'll bring someone else in; however, it really looks favorably upon you if you can do everything asked of you.

Best Uses
I ordered this signs for my youth cheerleading squad. I am very impressed with the signs. I was happily surprised when I got the signs especially for the price I paid. Only suggestion is the signs are flimsy and one sign was bent when I opened the box. I had to buy some foam board and cut it and glue to the back of the sign so the sign wouldn't bend in the middle. Overall I would suggest buying these signs.

Q:I'm still confused about an earlier question I posed. When designing the cards, do the white lines that appear mean you are designing all 8 signs at once? If designing all at once, can you put different wording on each line (sign) & therefore have all 8 signs with different words?

The Mock Turtles are an English indie rock band, formed in Middleton, Greater Manchester in 1985, who enjoyed some success in the early 1990s. Their song "Can You Dig It?" which was released in 1991, charted in the UK top 20 in 1991 and again in 2003.
|This article needs to be updated. (November 2011)
Led by former Judge Happiness singer Martin Coogan, older brother of actor/comedian Steve Coogan, the band began to pick up attention around 1990, with tracks such as "Lay Me Down" and "And Then She Smiles" on the Imaginary label. It was "Can You Dig It?", however, which gained them wider attention. Originally a b-side to "Lay Me Down", the band's new record label, Siren, re-issued it with additional guitar work, and "Can You Dig It?" breached the Top 20 in the UK Singles Chart.[1] Their follow up single "And Then She Smiles" failed to replicate the success of the previous single, only reaching no. 44 in the charts.[2]
In March 1991, the British music magazine NME reported that the band were appearing at the 'Great Indie Festival – A Midsummer's Day Dream' at Milton Keynes Bowl in June that year. Also on the bill were 808 State, Gary Clail, Shades of Rhythm, The Shamen, Paris Angels plus Flowered Up.[3]
The Mock Turtles, however, were unable to follow up the early success and were dropped by their label, three members briefly joining up as Ugli in the mid-1990s, remaining in limbo until Vodafone used "Can You Dig It?" for an advertising campaign in late 2002 and more famously in 2003. This saw the band make a comeback with Norman Cook doing a remix of the song,[4] taking the track to No. 19 in the United Kingdom. Eight new tracks were included on a new Greatest Hits album, together with older songs from their early 1990s peak. Most recently, the track 'And Then She Smiles' has been used as the theme song for the television programme 'Stella' on Sky1.
Coogan was presenter of the breakfast show on The Revolution in Oldham until the radio station was bought by Steve Penk, who took over the show himself having 'flipped' back to its original Adult Contemporary format. Subsequently, Coogan, along with fellow ex-Revolution DJs including Mani, Mike Joyce and Alex Carter, best known for playing 'John Stape' in British soap opera Coronation Street, launched an internet service called Radio Republic to pick up where The Revolution left off.[5][6] From 27 October 2008, Martin Coogan and Phil Beckett also presented a regular late programme on 103.6FM Tameside Radio known as 'Radio Republic'.[7]
Since 2008, Coogan has been the owner of Vibe Studios, where The Mock Turtles, as well as The Stone Roses, Inspiral Carpets and other Madchester bands have recorded.[8] He was named 'Unsung Hero of the Year' for his work creating jingles for the 2013 movie, Alan Partridge: Alpha Papa, starring his brother Steve Coogan.[9]
