text: Friendly Chevrolet 2754 N Stemmons Freeway Dallas, TX 75207 (214) 920-1900 www.friendlychevy.com Had bad luck this weekend hauling a 38' 10k lb trailer with my 97 2500 4X4 Suburban. Driving through Texas hill country the engine blew up. The engine's an 18 month old 7.4ltr Goodwrench crate motor with under 10,000 miles, Vortec supercharger running 12psi of boost, Pro Jection water, underdrive pulleys, dual exhaust with a crossover, and an Art Carr tow special trans. All installation, modifications, and most maintenance have been done by myself. With the engine mods I knew I'd have warranty issues, my neighbor (a mechanic at Friendly Chevrolet) told me to call and see what could be done. They sent a truck to pick up the Suburban and completed a teardown of the engine before 3pm, then called to tell me they'd honor the warranty and should have the truck back together in a few days. I was a little shocked at this news and asked why they decided to warranty, the service writer said they decided to for a couple reasons: 1) I bought the engine from this dealer. 2) It had been serviced by them a few times and I had receipts for the other services. 3) Even with the obvious engine modifications they felt the engine failure was due to inferior materials in the manufacture of the engine internals. 4) And in their opinion it was the proper thing to do. The damage: #3 and #7 pistons desintegrated, oil pump failed, #2 piston rod starting to fail at the wrist pin, #2,3,4,5, and 7 cylinder skirts cracked and begining to fail, 2"X2" hole in the oil pan, all lower bearings scored and seizing, and cylinder walls on #2,3,4,5, and 7 scored. The mechanic had no diagnosys of why these items failed and was surprised I didnt hear the engine coming apart for weeks prior to the catastrophic failure. I cant say thanks enough to Friendly Chevrolet of Dallas, Texas for stepping up to the plate and making this a hassle free warranty job. They also called back later to remind me to submit my tow bill from Mason, Texas (350 miles) for reimbursement.

Alot of people confuse taser with stun gun, thinking they are the same thing. They are not. Chromebolt is talking about a taser, snook is talking about a stun gun.

I had an incident similar but not nut-retracting (well I don't have em but I assume it's not as bad...lol) I wanted to make sure I wasn't being cruel to my dog by using the shock collar--lets just say--she didn't have the unfortunate pleasure of having it used on her once Momma tested it.....lol

The State Of The Speeches
Let's discuss State of the State speeches.
No wait! Don't go away! We can start with Chris Christie.
This week, Christie gave his annual address, and everybody was wondering what he'd say about the traffic-jam scandal. It is possible the crowd of cameras set some kind of State of the State record.


text:
Since the early 1990s, Glenn Brown has been engaged in a kind of Romantic necrophilia, resuscitating the expired painterly bodies of Surrealist Salvador Dalí, sci-fi illustrator Chris Foss, and British postwar Expressionist painter Frank Auerbach, among others. In each case, Brown has appropriated images of their works, either in part or in whole, from reproductions of the original paintings that he has found in books. He then meticulously and obsessively copies the images onto canvas, being sure to erase all traces of his own gestural brushstrokes. His version of an Auerbach, for example, appears from afar to be as tumultuous and thickly impastoed as the original; on closer inspection, however, it becomes clear that Brown is a master of trompe l'oeil. The textured surfaces of his source paintings are rendered in hyperreal near-flatness, the result of a painstaking and time-consuming technical process he developed for the purpose. He also sometimes crops his source images, changes their colors, or skews their perspectives. This gap between his "night of the living dead" (the title of one of his early works) and their original daylight counterparts instills his work with an underlying sense of Romantic longing.
Brown's quotation and subsequent transformation of these source paintings is not, however, simply another instance of postmodern irony. Unlike the strategies of photographic appropriation practiced by a previous generation of artists, including Richard Prince and Sherrie Levine, Brown's works—each of which often takes up to five months to complete—have an intensely laborious, almost lovingly handcrafted quality. In fact, in a certain sense, his paintings give a new meaning to Robert Smithson's invocation of Vladimir Nabokov's assertion that "the future is but the obsolete in reverse," as Brown works backward through many mediated layers of the reproduction of these paintings in order to put them back onto the canvas by hand. As he explains, "In all of [my sources], there was originally a model sitting in a chair in the studio who gets characterized by that artist. He finishes it and it gets photographed. Then the photograph gets turned into a print, which gets put into a book. I get that book and do my painting from it. Through those stages, the original person gets further and further back. Further and further lost, further removed. The whole notion that there was a character underneath the image kept me wanting to do them. It was that sense of loss, as if they were ghosts."1
Brown's You Never Touch My Skin in the Way You Did and You've Even Changed the Way You Kiss Me (1994) is based on an Auerbach painting of 1983, Head of Julia, which Brown found reproduced in a gallery catalogue.2 His doppelgänger Auerbach focuses only on a central portion of the head featured in the original, greatly enlarging it while changing and intensifying its colors. Like all of Brown's work, it is as much a meditation on our relationship to memory as it is on the act of painting itself. He once likened his painterly program to the planet in Andrei Tarkovsky's science-fiction film Solaris (1972), which resurrected replicant versions of dead people from the memories of the living. As the artist has suggested, "I'm bringing things which aren't real back into a state of physically being there. The sadness is that these things know they're not real."3

Patricia Cantwell - Patient Story
Patient Story Tags
Treatment Type
"My scar healed beautifully."
— Patricia Cantwell
Imagine being 33 years old and going to the dentist because you have pain in your mouth, likely caused by your wisdom teeth. So you have all of your wisdom teeth extracted but still have a throbbing pain. Your oral surgeon takes an x-ray and sees a bone fragment. He takes a biopsy, which is sent to a local lab, but they are unable to make a definitive diagnosis. The biopsy is then sent to the Mayo Clinic, where it is determined, 6 weeks later, that you have osteosarcoma - otherwise known as bone cancer, of the jaw.
Tricia Cantwell does not have to imagine that scenario - it really happened to her in 2007. "Once we finally figured out what was wrong, my oral surgeon referred me to Dr. Ridge at Fox Chase," recalled Tricia. "I knew I'd be in good hands there."
"Although I was scared, I was confident that Dr. Ridge could help me."
John A. Ridge, MD, is chief of head and neck surgery at Fox Chase Cancer Center. After evaluating Tricia, he suggested she consider a course of chemotherapy to shrink the tumor before surgery. "He was honest and direct. Although I was scared, I was confident that Dr. Ridge could help me," said Tricia.
Next, Tricia met with Margaret von Mehren, MD, a medical oncologist who started Tricia on chemotherapy. Tricia underwent 4 treatment cycles. After her first two treatments, the tumor was increasing in size and her therapy was changed. At the time of surgery, there was less dead tissue in her tumor than the doctors had hoped for. "Dr. von Mehren was great to work with. We were both disappointed that the treatment was not more successful," admitted Tricia, who returned to Dr. Ridge for surgery.
When it was time for surgery, Dr. Ridge asked Neal Topham, MD, a plastic and reconstructive surgeon at Fox Chase, to step in. In August 2007, Tricia underwent an extensive surgery - 10 hours - to remove the cancer and rebuild her jaw.
"First Dr. Ridge removed most of the bottom left side of my jaw, along with 4 teeth, to make sure the cancer was gone," Tricia said. "Then Dr. Topham rebuilt my jaw with bone from my calf. The results were really good. My scar healed beautifully and you could barely tell I had surgery."
Part of her recovery involved physical therapy in which Tricia learned exercises that she still uses today. Then she underwent a course of radiation treatment designed to eliminate any cancerous cells that may have been left behind and to reduce the risk of recurrence. "I was nervous, but the radiation oncologist just made me laugh," recalled Tricia. "Fortunately, radiation worked and there has been no sign of recurrence," recalled Tricia.
Once her initial treatment was complete, Tricia returned to work at the law firm of Woodcock Washburn in Philadelphia in the accounting department. "Although the surgery was a success and I was pleased with the results, I wasn't completely confident about my new look," admitted Tricia. "I wished my face didn't have an indentation. I was self-conscious about it all the time."
Her wish came true.
At a follow-up appointment, Dr. Topham suggested that she consider reconstructive surgery once she was healed. "I always thought Dr. Topham was a wonderful and kind doctor. I was so glad I was hooked up with him!" Tricia explained.
In February 2009, Tricia returned to Fox Chase for her reconstructive surgery with Dr. Topham, along with Dr. Ridge, who scrubbed in. Tricia felt extra confident knowing both surgeons would be in the operating room with her.
"I couldn't be happier. Dr. Topham did a beautiful job."
By transferring Tricia's thigh skin and fatty tissue to her cheek, Dr. Topham was able to reconstruct her face, mouth and lip. "It's only been 5 weeks and I already feel good about my results," shared Tricia. "I couldn't be happier. Dr. Topham did a beautiful job."
With the reconstruction, Tricia was hoping to look like herself before cancer. "Now I do," she said. "Thanks to the talents of Dr. Topham, my self esteem is back, I can eat anything and speak with no problem. I am running around with no pain and feel just great." Tricia is especially grateful to her family and friends who provided much needed love and support through her treatment. "The people I work with were amazing too. They were accommodating and patient and I'm glad to be back!" Tricia has resumed her "normal" life - working, spending time with friends and being outdoors as much as possible.

To stay at Caroline was a pleasure. I would always recommend them.
The room was clean, the kitchen and bathroom were good and the it's closed to the subway station. Furthermore Caroline and her family are very nice people. They invited us e.g. to the "block festival" where we got in contact with the neighbors.
Very nice house and Caroline and her family are kind with guest… It's also very clean; we have appreciate this and we think it's a very good place to visit New York because the subway is near.
Caroline and her sister were great hosts! Caroline welcomed us very warmly and explained everything in detail - the house and especially the room were very clean, tidy, spacious and very comfortable! The neighbourhood is quite nice and safe - 2 supermarkets in walking distance, only a short ride with the subway. Both sisters were very helpful and went above and beyond whenever we had questions. All in all a great stay and we would be glad to come back.
Very good welcome and quite room in Brooklyn. Very close to the subway to go directly to Manhattan. Possibility to take an american breakfast closely. Only one bathroom to share between 2 or 3 rooms.
Caroline and Charyl are very nice and helpful! The House, the room and the bathroom are very beautiful and clean! It is near a Subway Station. We wish Caroline & Charyl all the best. Thanks for your friendly and homely accomodation.
I was in new York one week. Caroline's house is a great place. Caroline and her sister were very kind. The house was very clean and it had everything you can need. The subway was about 300 metres, and you can take trains to Manhattan. I recomend this place 100%.
It was a really nice stay in a great room with great hosts. 2 minutes to the subway, 4 minutes to a supermarket. 35 minutes to Manhattan (Wall street).
Shared bathroom, cleaned everyday. Fast wifi.
Everyday Cheryl or Caroline where there to ask if everything is fine or if there is anything needed.
We will stay there again. Thank you for everything!
A very warm welcome given by Caroline. Caroline was very kind and helpfull. She is a professional. She explained everything very clear. Caroline made us feel at home. The rooms were very clean. I sure recommend this place to other people for their stay in New York. Caroline thank you for all your help. We are home safe now.
Kind regards from Marieke and Lucy.
It's an excellent accommodation and Caroline and her sister Cheryl are taking good care of the place and their guests.
We had the luxury room which is the biggest room out of three bedrooms that are rented out and which share a bathroom, kitchen and dining room. The basement apartment is owner occupied. Everything was very clean, and the kitchen was well equipped so that we could prepare meals for us. The accommodation is a 3 minute walk away from subway lines 2 and 5, the subway ride to 14th Street takes about 40 minutes. A few blocks further in the other direction are subway lines B and Q. It is a very quiet and nice neighbourhood with shops, restaurants, post office etc. in walkable distance. The Fulton Mall shopping area is a 20 minutes subway ride away.
We very much enjoyed our stay at this place and would love to come back again next time we will be in New York.

When the Star Wars Craft book came out last year I was inspired by Bonnie Burton's R2-D2 beanie, but a little intimidated by the pattern. There are many Star Wars beanie patterns out there, ranging from novice to expert skill levels. Here are just a few patterns that are available for free:
- Make your own Princess Leia beanie wig, courtesy of Stitching up a Storm. Simple double crochet is all that is involved, so it is a very basic pattern. I can't say I would use hot glue for the buns. I expect that I will just stitch them together before attaching to the hat instead.
- Also from Stitching up a Storm, and possibly the most beautiful Star Wars crochet I have ever seen, is the Twi'lek hat, pictured above.
- For knitting experts, this R2D2 beanie, or this reversible winter hat, are good challenges for a rainy day.
- If you don't want a character hat, try this simple knitted black and yellow logo beanie or more detailed Stormtrooper on Ravelry.
- Another knit pattern you can create is C3PO, though I might be tempted to just knit a simple gold beanie, and use felt for the eyes and mouth.
- The cutest Yoda that I could find is this knit felted baby hat from Four Little Sparrows. The Yoda hat is by far the most prolific pattern available, with Boba Fett a close second. You can choose from the scary detailed Yoda, the big knit Yoda, or the simple crochet Yoda.

lol, yeah, Mathman is the final mega boss who usually pwns everyone. I have the highest respect for him and he is an (secret) admirer of Yuna.
Yuna can never be perfect in this aspect, just because of way she is built. But yes, she has tried to improve I think. And this certainly does not undermine her greatness -- the Queen still pwns them all.
(Bent knee, but higher leg position with toe-point.)
After tonight, it seems Yuna "version 2013" is better than ever.
I doubt she even needs a coach now at this point. She is unrealistically secure.
^ I agree. No matter how spectacular tonight's result turned out to be, there's always room for guidance and improvement.
The question is still on my mind though- will she stick with her current coaches or find a more "renowned" coach for her possible last season. No doubt she had a smashing success now, but would she feel someone else would unearth further refinements for that edge in Sochi. Plus, having worked with Wilson all these years, I doubt she'll abandon him, but it would be nice to bring in other guys like Buttle or Dickson for her finale.
Champions don't rest on their laurels and continue to improve. In Kim's case, I really don't think it would be wise for her to add in the loop though, unless its spectacular. Its clearly an issue jump for her, and she should be all about staying healthy..
I do think though maybe should could go for a repeat 3flip. And perhaps more jumps in the back half. That double axel/2toe/2loop could be a really nice back up for her.
Yuna Kim has competed in 31 international competitions in her competitive skating career. She medaled in all of them. And she won the vast majority of them, with 22 gold medals. She also won all 6 South Korean nationals she entered. I don't really have a point. Just throwing those facts out there while gaping at them.

On June 17, we'll be celebrating the men in our lives. Those dudes -- dads, uncles, grandparents, brothers -- who have helped shape who we are.
And because the task they've been given (we're a lot of sugar, but also some spice) is so large, we wanted to find some extra-impressive items to gift them.
So naturally we came up with 14 items we secretly covet ourselves (if we like 'em, the men will too... right!?).
From stocking his pantry with unexpected food products to sending him a "gentle reminder" he's always late with a watch, these are the top gifts we're giving this Father's Day.

Forget the tie. Think bespoke booze for Father's Day, specifically a beverage tailor-made to suit the hobbies father knows best. Of course, to do that you first have to decide who, exactly, is your daddy. The type of guy who likes to putt? Or someone who's happiest when merely puttering? Is he sporty? Handy? Or maybe he's that most challenging of giftees, the man who has everything. Whatever the type, we've got a few suggestions to help you pick out that perfect bottle. With files from The Canadian Press
Lots of choices in this category, including a number of wines by NFL greats such as legendary coach Dick Vermeil of the Philadelphia Eagles, St. Louis Rams and Kansas City Chiefs as well as former Oakland Raiders and Green Bay Packers player Charles Woodson. Is dad more of a brew guy? Radeberger Pilsner is a classic German Pilsner made with barley malt, hops and water from the brewery's own well.
Port isn't what comes to first mind when selecting a summer wine, but a chilled tawny port can be delicious as a barbecue aperitif or paired with dishes such as grilled scallops. Two to try are Taylor-Fladgate 20-year-old Tawny and Graham's 20-year-old Tawny. Does your dad's typical backyard bash involve inviting the whole block over? Consider Ravenswood Vintners Blend Old Vine Zinfandel, a hearty, meat-friendly wine that's priced reasonably enough at $10 to $12 a bottle to allow you to grab a case.
For 007 fans, a No. 1 choice might be The Macallan, a single-malt scotch featured as James Bond's favourite drink in the recent box-office hit "Skyfall." Interesting fact, Macallan did not pay for product placement of the scotch, which Bond and M are shown drinking and which is also used in an edgy scene featuring an unfortunate game of William Tell-style marksmanship. Another option is the Director's Cut wines from director-turned-vintner Francis Ford Coppola of "The Godfather" and "Apocalypse Now" fame. The limited production wines sourced from Sonoma County come with a wraparound label modeled after a Zoetrope strip, one of the earliest moving picture devices.
Is your dad the kind of guy who disappears into his workshop for hours in search of a better mousetrap? He might like Lucid Absinthe. Popular in the 19th and early-20th centuries, especially in France, the anise-flavoured spirit was banned due to concerns that it contained dangerously high levels of the chemical compound thujone, found in the key absinthe botanical ingredient Artemisia Absinthium. But environmental chemist T.A. Breaux wasn't convinced the experts were right. A Louisiana native, Breaux had some pre-ban bottles of absinthe. He ran it through the mass spectrometer and, hey presto, found only trace amounts of thujone. In 2007, Lucid, produced in France, was approved for importation to the United States.
Scotland is the home of golf and of Scotch whisky (no telling if those two are related), and a good gift for the dad who golfs might be Johnnie Walker Double Black, a smoky, complex whisky. Or, try a single-malt whisky like Oban 14-year-old, which balances sweet and smoky with a slightly briny finish. If dad likes wine, a number of golfers have gotten into the wine business, including South African Ernie Els, who produces wines from his country's Stellenbosch region and Arnold Palmer who collaborates with Luna Vineyards in the Napa Valley.
Turn4 wines are named after the most exciting turn in the track. Try the California cabernet sauvignon, fruity and elegant. The Andretti Winery in the Napa Valley founded by race car legend Mario Andretti is another option.
There are a lot of people to look up to in the world of wine, but maybe none so literally as 7-foot-6 former NBA star Yao Ming. Ming's Yao Family Wines made its debut in 2011 with two choices, Yao Ming 2009 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon and Yao Ming 2009 Family Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon. They're both priced in the special occasions category, the first coming with a suggested retail price of $150 and the second tagged at $625 and are available at a few fine wine shops by signing up on the winery mailing list. In the spirits category, cognac offers elegance and finesse, just the ticket for a dad with sophisticated tastes. Camus cognac fits the Father's Day theme well since it's now being run by fifth-generation member Cyril Camus. The line starts with the reasonably priced VSOP Elegance at $24; try it over ice for a refreshing change. But if you recently won the lottery or are celebrating a VERY special Father's Day, how about the Cuvee 5.150 which marks the family-owned company's 50th anniversary and rings up at $13,500 a bottle. Or maybe you need a bit more time to save up for that one.
Mantry: curated products to update a man's pantry, $75. Available at Mantry.com
The TaskOne iPhone case is ideal for dads that like to tool around and fix things on the go. The case is made of aircraft polycarbonate and the Swiss Army-like tools (screwdriver, bottle opener, mini-saw, wrench, etc.) are stainless steel. Available for iPhone 4, 4S, and 5 in three colours. The TaskOne iPhone case, $90, available at Task Lab
It's easier for Dad to strap this on instead of lugging around a clunky camera bag. The compact cases come in various artistic designs, five different sizes, are padded, and are also waterproof. Camera Coats, $30-$55, available at Camera Coats
This is for the dad that spends as much time in the kitchen as he does in the tool shed. The Artisan Series model has a 325-watt motor, 5 quart (4.73 L) stainless steel bowl, and comes in 26 colours. If your dad is into sausage parties, you can even include a Sausage Stuffer ($20) attachment. Kitchen Aid Artisan Stand Mixer, $499, available at suppliers of Kitchen Aid
It's tough for Dad to grill the best burgers while also entertaining his guests. The Talking BBQ Thermometer will literally tell him when his meat is ready by wirelessly transmitting to a display unit that can be moved up to 100 feet away. The Talking BBQ Thermometer, $59.99, available at Sharper Image
Woodchuck Hard Cider features a clean, apple finish that is also naturally gluten-free. So dad has no excuse for having a beer belly. Woodchuck Hard Cider, $13.95/six pack, available at Woodchuck
If you can't get your dad tickets to an NHL playoff game then you can at least make his living room sound like a hockey arena with the Sonos Playbar. The wireless HIFI system produces full Dolby 5.1 Surround Sound, so dad can hear every slap shot, every crunching body check, and eventually, every sobbing Leafs fan. Sonos Playbar, $749, available at Sonos
Your dad breaks his back trying to give you a good life. So the least you could do is help him shave it. The Mangroomer Professional Do-It-Yourself Electric Back Hair Shaver features a handle you can extend so Dad can shave in hard to reach places. Accessories included are a new protection cap, a cleaning brush, an A/C recharging adaptor, and an instruction booklet (just in case he asks you for a hand). Mangroomer Professional Do-It-Yourself Electric Back Hair Shaver, $49.95, available at Mangroomer
Even dads need to wax every now and then. The Cordless Car Waxer's rechargeable 18-V cordless orbital waxer and built-in liquid wax reservoir makes sure he doesn't get tied up while buffing and polishing his pride and joy. Cordless Car Waxer, $79.99, available at Amazon
There are many great things about being a dad – carrying a diaper bag isn't one of them. Fortunately, there's the Diaper Vest - a cool looking jacket that secretly stashes baby essentials. Older dads can even store Depends Adult Diapers for themselves. Diaper Vest, $79, available at DadGear
Give your dad some Spanx to help him cheat on his diet a bit. The Spanx for Men line of undershirts (Manx) is designed to aesthetically improve dad's physique with cooling features and compression zones that transform the torso and chest. The Manx shirts even come in "Medium" and "Hard Core" compression power levels. Manx, $79 for a Zoned Performance Crew Neck Undershirt, available at Spanx Price: for a Zoned Performance Crew Neck Undershirt

Papa's Got a Brand New Man-Bag and it looks like a classy bowling bag – so he doesn't have to feel self-conscious about carrying a male purse to work. Zara Basic Bowling Bag, $95.90, available at Zara
If you are making your foodie dad a special meal, spice up his day with some PC Black Label Hatcho Black Miso Marinade. The sauce combines black miso, sake, and toasted sesame, which is perfect for beef, pork, chicken and seafood dishes. President's Choice Black Label Hatcho Black Miso Marinade, $5.99, available at Loblaws
Help your dad feel like an international man of mystery by equipping him with a gadget watch that would make James Bond jealous. The timepiece allows you to connect to your iPhone 4s or to the new iPhone 5 using Bluetooth 4.0. The watch will alert you with a discrete vibration whenever you have a message on your iPhone, with the second hand automatically sweeping to point at various indicators on the dial ring so you can see whether you have an incoming call, email or calendar alert. Citizen Eco-Drive "Proximity Bluetooth" watch, $412.50 (sale price), available at Watch It
Usually, the recipient of this honour receives a standard "World's Greatest Dad" coffee mug. But your dad is so special that he deserves a unique coffee mug that stirs itself. With a press of a button, the mug instantly blends in cream and sugar without a spoon – or in the case of most dads, his finger. Self-Stirring Mug, $18.99, available at Think Geek
The Toronto Maple Leafs were toasted from the playoffs in grizzly fashion — and now you can make sure dad remembers his beloved team's meltdown every morning with toast featuring the Leafs' logo. The two-slice toaster features adjustable settings, so you don't have to worry about your Leafs getting burned – again. Just make sure Dad has some orange juice nearby — in case the Leafs toast makes him choke. Dad not a Leaf's fan? The line of toasters, sandwich and waffle makers are available in all Canadian NHL team motifs. Canadian NHL toasters, $39.99, available online at Best Buy
Canada's king of stand-up comedy pulls no punches when it comes to his own dad, often sending audiences into fits of uncontrollable laughter with hilarious imitations of his Indian father. He recently became a father himself to Crystianna Marie, who was born prematurely and spent two months in the hospital. Luckily Peters' adorable daughter caught up quickly (he called her a 'heifer' at 9 pounds), and as this photo shows, he likes to incorporate her into his comedy. In 2011, she even made a cameo in his very first Christmas special.
Why We Love Him: Don't let his evil persona Dr. Snow a la Hunger Games fool you; the accomplished actor is also a caring father of five (to Kiefer, Rachel, Rossif, Angus and Roeg). A constant support system for his celebrity son Kiefer, Donald proudly described him as an "astonishingly good" actor at the unveiling of Keifer's star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
Why We Love Him: This dad blogger, who defines himself by his shiny bald head, has four children with the love of his life. None are biologically shared, and he maintains a long distance relationship with his partner, giving a modern take on what it means to parent. His posts reflect a joie de vivre and a tongue-in-cheek sense of humour. Did we mention he used to have hair?
Why We Love Him:Born in Ashern, Manitoba, actor Adam Beach is known for his roles in such blockbuster hits as Smoke Signals, Texas Ranger and Cowboys & Aliens. But he doesn't let fame get to his head; Beach is a devoted dad to his three children (Noah, 16, Luke, 18 and Phoenix, 4) and told Native Peoples magazine that when he's not being a father, he dedicates his free time to helping younger generations of first nations people in need of aid.
Why We Love Him: The beloved Michael J. Fox has won three Emmys, been awarded with Freedom of the City (from the city of Burnaby, BC) and has been a tireless advocate for Parkinson's disease research. He and his wife Tracy have four children, and Fox has said that his own diagnosis of the disease has made him a better father and overall human being.
Why We Love Him: This father of four and former NHL player currently resides in Calgary with his wife, where he once played for the Flames. His impressive hockey career ended in 2003 due to struggles with addiction, which Fleury has revealed were as a result of past sexual abuse at the hand of his coach. In 2009, he documented his experiences in a best-selling autobiography, and has since become an advocate and activist for survivors of child sexual abuse.
One of the world's finest turntablists and also an accomplished cartoonist, Eric San aka Kid Koala has taken fans on the most imaginative musical journeys with his impressive DJ skills. His recent foray into fatherhood with the birth of his daughter Maple inspired him to create Space Cadet, a wordless graphic novel with its own soundtrack about a guardian robot and his daughter. And even though he says she doesn't like his music, Maple is still cool with his hectic tour schedule and even likes touring with him.
Why We Love Him: While most people know him as the astronaut who made two groundbreaking treks into space, few know him as low-key father of two. His amazing kid ethos was confirmed when he told Canadian Medicine News that he tries to encourage children to follow their dreams wherever they may take them.
Why We Love Him:: This Canadian is an accomplished academic, science broadcaster and environmental activist. Strongly encouraged by his father, he is outspoken about passing lessons learned about hard work to his own children and grandchildren. And it may have paid off: his daughters Severn and Sarika share his passion for environmental activism, and the latter joins him on CBC's The Suzuki Diaries, where they explore sustainability issues across the country.
Why We Love Him: Family ties played an important role in the career of Canadian fashion designer and entrepreneur Joe Mimran; he grew up to the sound of a sewing machine. Later, with brother Saul, he launched the Alfred Sung collection, then went on to develop the minimalist style of Club Monaco and the popular fast-fashion brand Joe Fresh. He's not only made time to be an active dad for his four children, he's also been a mentor for his niece and nephew, Tamara and Jordin, as they launch a fashion line of their own.
Why We Love Him: After losing to Rob Ford in last year's mayoral election in Toronto, murmurs about gay fatherhood surfaced as a potential reason for Smitherman's loss. But this doesn't stop the politician from beaming about his growing family and children. In October 2011, The Star reported that he and his partner, Christopher Peloso, were adopting their second child, a little girl. Smitherman's commitment to family was highlighted even as he was defeated by Ford on election night. He told reporters: "What's next for me? You've seen what's next for me: his name is Michael and he's 23 months old."
Why We Love Him: This 32-year old father of three has harnessed his own dark memories of his absent father and is attempting to break the cycle. Tackling the unspoken topic of black fatherhood, Hay founded the Black Daddies Club to provide other like-minded fathers with parenting resources and support. By turning apathy into action, he is changing the face of fathers across the country.
Why We Love Him: Founder and executive chairman of Canada's top luxury men's wear store, Harry is an active philanthropist. Close to his family (4 children and 7 grandchildren), Harry works closely with his eldest son, Larry, who continues to grow his father's empire. Larry speaks proudly of his legendary father, toting him as an important mentor in his life.
Why We Love Him: This father of four pairs his commitment to environmental stewardship with parenting. His cool factor resides in the fact that he has been personally trained by Al Gore and David Suzuki to deliver a slideshow similar to the one in An Inconvenient Truth.
Why We Love Him: A champion of free speech and human rights, this widowed father of four and cyber guru established The Citizen Lab to combat internet surveillance and censorship. His firewall penetrating tool allows people in China and other countries to access websites through their mobile phones.
The hockey world lost one of its greats when Herb Carnegie passed away in March 2012. The Jamaican-born, Toronto-raised hockey player is generally acknowledged as the mighty talent who should have been the first black player in the NHL, but when offered a contract that paid him less than white players, Carnegie returned to play for Quebec leagues. His daughter recalls a time when Carnegie went awol mid-season just so he could return home to his family. After his hockey career, he created the Future Aces, a foundation to help empower youth through academics and sports, and was an active philanthropist.
Why We Love Him: This Scottish-Canadian improve comic genius has had a profound influence over his son, Luke, an avid fan of movies and music who has starred in several television series. Colin expresses fatherly praise for his son on his Twitter account, tweeting "Watch out Vedder" alongside a YouTube video of Luke and a friend singing a rendition of Hallelujah.
Why We Love Him: An admirable husband, businessman, and father, David Eddie chronicles his misadventures with all the grace and good humour one would expect of a Canadian dad. He provides honest and constructive lessons on life, both in his Globe and Mail advice column, and his recent book Damage Control. In his blog, he often shares his adoration for his children (in his last post, he was busy preparing for his son Adam's 8th birthday).
Why We Love Him: Decades after capturing world stage on his famous Man in Motion World Tour, Rick Hansen continues to inspire others living with disabilities. He has generated hundreds of millions of dollars for spinal cord research in his role as president and CEO of the Rick Hansen Foundation and he is an inspirational force for his three daughters, Emma, Alana, and Rebecca.
Why We Love Him: One of AOL Canada's own, Spinner.ca's Josh Ostroff is a pop-culture connoisseur. A storied journalist whose passions encompass music, television and politics, he's devoted dad who chronicles life with his adorable son, Emile, and wife Carrie for Toronto weekly The Grid and The Huffington Post Canada, giving a voice to involved fathers everywhere.
Why We Love Him: PEI-born Michael Smith is one of Canada's best-known and best-loved chefs. While he inspires families all across North America to create a healthy food lifestyle on air and now on the web (In 2011, he launched his own web series, Food Country), his favourite pastime is being an at-home dad with his family.

November 12, 2009: Computer Salesman Pleads Guilty to Misbranding a Drug and Copyright Infringement
Food and Drug Administration
Office of Criminal Investigations
U.S. Department of Justice Press Release
For Immediate Release
November 12, 2009
United States Attorney
District of Rhode Island
Media Contact
(401) 709-5032
Ming Yan, who operates a computer store in North Providence, has pleaded guilty to causing the misbranding of the prescription drug sildenafil citrate, which is marketed as Viagara, and to copyright infringement. Immigration and FDA agents seized counterfeit sildenafil citrate pills and more than 1,000 pirated movie DVDs from Yan's store and home in March 2008.
United States Attorney Peter F. Neronha announced the guilty plea, which Yan entered on November 10 before Chief U.S. District Court Mary M. Lisi in U.S. District Court, Providence.
At the plea hearing, Assistant U.S. Attorney Mary E. Rogers said the government could prove that, on March 12, 2008, agents from Immigration and Customs Enforcement and the Food and Drug Administration, Office of Criminal Investigation, conducted a controlled delivery of a package that had been shipped from India to Yan's business, Automation Systems.
After signing for the package, Yan admitted it was his and that he had ordered it from an Internet Web site identifying itself as Canadian. It contained 372 sildenafil citrate pills but had no FDA approved labeling, and Yan had no prescription for the pills. At first, he claimed the pills were for personal use, but later admitted that he sold them to customers and that he had previously ordered pills from the same Web site.
During a search of Yan's store, agents noticed copies of copyright protected movies, and equipment used to make multiple copies of DVDs. Yan initially claimed that he copied the movies for himself, but later admitted that he gave them to customers who bought computers, or sold them for a dollar each. From the store and from Yan's home, agents seized 1,165 pirated movie DVDs and DVD copying equipment.
Subsequent interviews of some of Yan's computer customers determined that computers he sold contained unlicensed software that Yan had installed. Agents also found a letter from the Microsoft Corporation dated in 2003, warning Automation Systems that it was infringing on Microsoft's copyrights.
Yan, 59, of Providence, pleaded guilty to one count of misbranding a drug and two counts of copyright infringement. The maximum penalty for misbranding a drug is one year in prison and a $100,000 fine; the maximum for copyright infringement is three years imprisonment and a $250,000 fine. Yan is free on unsecured bond pending sentencing, which is scheduled for February 26.

Oooo, so sad with video, but I understand. I have problems even with photos. If you noticed, there is a gap in postings - just forgot the camera, batteries happened to be dead just "in time" (spare ones as well), bees were too "active" and block the view (literally)... In general, this horizontal hive is full of bees - when I open it, they just "overflow", not because aggressive, but because too many... very difficult to use the camera. Also, full deep frames are very heavy - I could not securely hold them by one hand to take a picture. Thus - most spectacular images from horizontal hive are lost! I completely switched to the top-bars in the horizontal hive - it is quite impressive - huge perfect combs! But, difficult to manipulate because of the weight and no support on the sides and at the bottom. I am thinking to do one step back and provide some sort of support for the comb. There is no way I will return back to the classical frames - I will add support to my existing top-bars.
I am glad to hear that your bees are doing well. I am looking forward to watch your movie! Sergey

From dead last to title favourites - as far as turnarounds go, the Magic's has been about as dramatic as they come.
Written off as a spent force after opening the season with four straight losses, a fifth consecutive play-off appearance looked beyond the Magic both mathematically and physically.
But after a 17-goal thrashing of the previously top-placed Adelaide Thunderbirds at the weekend, the Waikato/Bay of Plenty side are on the verge of pulling off what looked to be impossible eight weeks ago.
With the best goal percentage in the competition (which is used as a measure to separate teams on equal points), it would take a series of far-fetched events for the Magic to miss out now.
In fact they are being talked up as favourites to win the crown.
Notwithstanding their forgettable opening month, the Magic are playing some of the best netball we've seen from them in five seasons in the competition.
They've strung together eight wins, the longest winning stretch of any team in the league this season, with all but two being by double figures.
Saturday's win was undoubtedly their best performance thus far.
There were many impressive facets of the Magic's demolition of the Thunderbirds - Casey Williams' warrior-like efforts on attack and defence, Julianna Naoupu's swagger, Laura Langman's dynamic display in the midcourt and Irene van Dyk's fancy footwork and near-perfect accuracy.
But perhaps the most impressive aspect was their performance as a team. The Magic had a frugal turnover count of just six for the match, with their patient, controlled style of game holding up to the tight one-on-one marking of the Australian side.
Coach Noelene Taurua said she was heartened by the discipline her side showed on attack in the face of relentless pressure from the Thunderbirds.
"It really shows how well our structures are working," she said. "It's about us believing what we're doing and having confidence in that."
The Magic face the Queensland Firebirds in their final-round clash in Hamilton next Monday. A win over the defending champions could see the Magic finish as high as second, setting them up well for a tilt at the title.
But having been forced to play for their lives for the past eight weeks, the Magic aren't about to start looking at play-offs permutations.
Van Dyk, outstanding at the weekend against tireless defender Sharni Layton, said her side would be focused only on the Firebirds this week.
"We're on the right track and we've just got to keep going and not get too carried away, because what we've done over the last eight weeks has worked for us. As far as we're concerned this is another do-or-die game," said van Dyk.
It is difficult for the punters to see past the Waikato side for the crown. Of all the top four sides, the Magic are playing the most consistent netball - not usually a trait associated with the team in past seasons.
But right from the start the Magic did things differently this season. And it could end in a manner to which they're unaccustomed as well - lifting the ANZ Championship trophy.

Was Scott Brooks really on the chopping block after the Thunder lost in the Western Conference Finals? It doesn't look at that way. Brooks was given a vote of confidence by Thunder general manager Sam Presti - and suddenly the world of sports seemed to realize that yes, indeed, the coach was going to be OK in OKC. Sports Illustrated's Ric Bucher explains below why he thinks Brooks' spot should be secure with the Thunder going into next season.
The Thunder, including Brooks and Presti, recently spoke to the media in their exit interviews. You can see the coach and GM below

Over the past few years, Toro engineers have done a lot of work improving the materials, manufacturing and performance on all Toro Caster Wheel components. As of today, the welding has been beefed up and we now use a heavier-grade of high-quality steel on the fork itself. Toro now uses a double-pass weld which is robotically performed for consistency. And because of our unique welding process, the weld penetrates into the fork so the bond is stronger and more durable. The welded forks also feature a heat-treated shaft for reduced wear.
Most of our models feature a double-lipped sealed, permanently lubricated ball-bearing design. This low-maintenance, non-greaseable design not only saves on the cost of grease but eliminates the man hours for greasing the bearings as well. The advantage of the double lip design provides a tighter, more effective barrier that prevents water and dirt integration - the true enemies of any bearing.
Caster Wheels are constantly being tested against the elements by immersing the component in various slurry solutions (sand & water mixture) to make sure the design prevents dirt and water from penetrating into the bearings.

Swarming means a hive has been successful in filling the brood nest with the required resources for the next generation, but this usually means there won't be a honey crop for the beekeeper.
I have studied the causes of swarming for some time and looked at the various methods for swarm prevention.
Ideally the beekeeper wants to stop the bees from backfilling the brood nest with nectar in the first place, but the methods to do this require a couple of boxes of drawn comb for the beekeeper to be successful for swarm prevention. This includes Checkerboarding or Supering and reversing brood boxes. The first or even second year beekeeper does not have drawn comb to do this.
Maintaining a hole beside the brood nest - is a method for comb building for first year hives.
(This assumes the brood nest is in the top of a hive at the end of winter.)
Here's the process:
1. In early spring (when plum trees are well into blossom), move an outside frame into a new box to be placed above the brood nest.
2. Find the edge of the brood nest and place a foundationless frame (with a comb guide or a short strip of foundation) beside the brood nest. This is the "hole". There must be brood on one side of the foundationless frame and drawn comb, or the edge of the box on the other side of this foundationless frame.
3. Repeat this process every 2-3 weeks, alternating sides. (The previously added frame should be at least 2/3 drawn.) you can even do both sides at once when temperatures are warm enough and the bees are flying every day.
4. Once there is brood on the edge frame(s) of the brood box, move this frame to the box above, centred directly above the brood nest.
5. Do this well into the main flow. Then you can just concentrate on the supers. Alternating honey frames with foundationless frames or frames of foundation works well.
- This method does not force bees to cover a larger brood nest than they are able to cover.
- The bees still have direct access to the frame that was beside the brood nest, but it is now above instead. Not a problem, when heat rises.
- The bees can build the comb in their own time, but it gives them an incentive to build comb.
- Develops comb builders before swarm season.

text: Hello 1995 Chev Tahoe four wheel drive 51 000 miles. Why do the oil cooler line hoses always seem to leak where the metal tube is crimped to the hose part. Are Dorman cooler line hoses as good as Delco? Look same to me. Should I have the 2 fittings with the plastic clip replaced that hold the line replaced or just get the 2 lines. Do the lines come with clips or do you buy them separate? I think this is the 3 rd set of these, last ones made 3.5 years...seems like a poor design. Thank You ron3033 :happy:

49ers have Boldin now, I believe. And Crabtree stunk anyway.
Let's just get to the playoffs (which I have my serious doubts about). I wouldn't worry about a 1st round bye just yet.
I want the Giants to win Superbowl 48.
New York Giants Superbowl XXI, XXV, XLII, XLVI Champions!!!!!
To be fair, he did have Alex Smith throwing to him to start with.
one guy isnt going to make or break any team really. If we dont get lucky with mininal injuries to our oline and defense we wont go very far.

Will Uggs Be Back
It's the start of a new year and with each year comes new friends, new experiences and new trends -- fashion trends most importantly. Many times we look at these trends or fads, as some call them, and either love them, hate them or just shake our head in confusion.
One trend that has stuck around now for at least six years consecutively are the infamous Uggs.

Investors applauded the earnings and outlooks of Walt Disney and Time Warner, yet Wall Street failed to find momentum amid renewed concern about Europe's ability to commit to the austerity required to kick-start the region's economy.
Shares of Walt Disney gained, last up 1.2 per cent to US$54.93 after earlier rising as high as US$55.50, after the company's quarterly profit surpassed expectations and painted a positive picture of its outlook.
"We're very pleased with our first-quarter results, which set the stage for continued growth in 2013, following a year of record revenue, net income and earnings per share in 2012," Disney Chief Financial Officer Jay Rasulo told analysts during a call, according to Reuters.
Time Warner earnings also beat estimates, boosting its shares 4.2 per cent. The company also lifted its dividend and announced a new share buyback program.
"The big surprise here is the incremental return of capital to shareholders with the new dividend and buyback," Janney Capital Markets analyst Tony Wible told Reuters.
And shares of Hewlett-Packard gained, last up 1 per cent, amid reports the company is considering a breakup.
In afternoon trading in New York, the Dow Jones Industrial Average eked out a 0.04 per cent gain, while the Standard & Poor's 500 Index edged 0.02 per cent higher, and the Nasdaq Composite Index added 0.08 per cent.
In Europe, the Stoxx 600 Index finished the session with a 0.4 per cent drop from the previous close. Equities also fell in Frankfurt and Paris, closing 1.1 per cent and 1.4 per cent weaker respectively. London gained 0.2 per cent.
Weighing on the mood in the euro zone is the increasing popularity of former Italian premier Silvio Berlusconi ahead of elections later this month. A poll by Tecne institute for SkyTG24 showed that Berlusconi is closing the gap on front-runner Pier Luigi Bersani to 0.3 percentage points.
Berlusconi's policies are at odds with the austerity sought by European Union leaders as they continue to battle the region's debt crisis and revive growth in its economy.
EU leaders are set to start a two-day meeting on Thursday aimed at finding agreement over the bloc's next budget.
Policy makers at the European Central Bank are also meeting tomorrow, as are their counterparts at the Bank of England.
The euro weakened against the greenback, last 0.4 per cent lower at US$1.3526.
The yen continued its slide against the US dollar amid signs of aggressive monetary easing ahead. Yesterday Bank of Japan Governor Masaaki Shirakawa announced that he would step down next month, three weeks before the official end of his term.
"It's the equivalent of waving a white flag for unconditional surrender," Shuichi Obata, senior economist at Nomura Securities in Tokyo, told Bloomberg. "Shirakawa didn't share the government's view that the central bank is responsible for ending deflation."
Liberty Global confirmed it is buying Virgin Media for about US$15.75 billion in stock and cash in a deal that it is worth more than US$23 billion including debt and is aimed at growing the US company's share of the European market.

Anna Guy has moved into her new home on Auckland's North Shore as filming gets under way on a three-part TV show about the murder of her brother and jailing of her ex-husband.
Ewen Macdonald was acquitted of murdering Scott Guy last year but sentenced to five years in prison for arson, vandalism and killing animals on Feilding farms - leaving Anna Guy without her brother and unable to trust her husband.
Anna said she and the couple's four children were now settling into their new home.
"Yes, I have moved - it's so exciting. [The children] are loving it. We have only just moved up so we are just finding our way around and sorting out everything, but it's all cool."
Anna was still waiting to hear when filmed interviews with her would be screened on TV3's new current affairs show 3rd Degree.
Reports had speculated Anna would be working on the show, but this was scotched this week by 3rd Degree executive producer Terence Taylor.
"Anna will not be hosting 3rd Degree, nor does she have a position on the 3rd Degree reporting team," Taylor said.
"She will be appearing in three stories which will be about herself - talking about how she is dealing with the twin tragedies that have befallen her.
"We will be with her as she goes to visit Ewen in jail [and] as she says goodbye to family and friends in Feilding."

There's probably no good way to learn that your employer wants you to do the same amount of work for less money. But the manner in which the editorial staff of the Boston Globe made this discovery was especially awkward.
On Monday, June 23, Arthur Sulzberger and Janet Robinson — the chairman and president/CEO, respectively, of the New York Times Company, which has owned the Globe since 1993 — dropped by the paper's Morrissey Boulevard headquarters. The impetus for their visit was a retirement party for Al Larkin, the Globe's outgoing executive vice-president and spokesman; prior to Larkin's shindig, they spoke with newsroom department heads and held a paper-wide "town meeting" in the Globe's William O. Taylor Room. The latter session was strikingly well-attended — people were reportedly sitting in the aisles and standing in the doorways — and a number of subjects came up: the advertising department's ongoing struggles selling boston.com; the possible closure of the Globe's printing plant in Billerica; the question of whether the Times Company will keep the Globe or try to sell it.
Most notably, however, there was the awkward topic of a possible wage cut. How, asked Globe mailroom employee Dan Caplette, can you justify management's proposal to slash union salaries by 10 percent? In response — and as the Globe's editorial employees wondered what the hell the mailroom guy was talking about — Globe publisher Steve Ainsley, who was also present, stressed that the wage-cut request was part of a broader collective-bargaining process. Despite "significant financial pressure" on the paper, he added, nothing had been decided yet. Sulzberger's reply, when it came, featured the dreaded catch phrase of 21st-century journalism. "We're trying to do more with less," he explained. "We have to redefine what the Boston Globe is in a new universe."
All of which raises a couple questions: first, why did the mailroom guy know more about the state of the paper's labor relations than its reporters did? And second, is the Globe really about to pluck a few thousand dollars out of each of its union employees' pockets?
Holding on, moving forward
The answer to the first question is pretty simple: union representation. The Globe's mailroom employees are represented by the Boston Mailers Union, Teamsters Local 1, Boston, which Caplette heads. The editorial staff, by contrast, is represented by the Boston Newspaper Guild (BNG), the largest union at the paper. And despite being informed of the wage-cut proposal in a June 18 letter from Globe senior V-P Gregory Thornton, BNG president Dan Totten still hadn't informed his members one week later. Which meant that they finally learned about the prospective salary reduction either when Caplette brought it up, or when they saw a quote from Totten in the June 25 Boston Herald, or when Totten finally e-mailed his members the same day the Herald story ran.
Not surprisingly, some editorial employees were irked that they weren't informed sooner. And for some, the delay has raised a bigger question: how well served, exactly, are the paper's reporters and columnists by their union representatives? (Totten worked in travel advertising at the Globe; the union represents not just editorial staff, but also workers in finance, production, marketing, and design.) "It's weird having white-collar and blue-collar workers in the same union, because they think differently," this staffer complains. "They're trying to preserve something that's dying. We understand it's dying, and we don't want to hang on to it. We want to go forward."

Check it out, I just added it to my helmet. Worked out pretty good IMO
Check it out, I just added it to my helmet. Worked out pretty good IMO
Awesome! First accurate one that I've seen, and you nailed it!
Very nice. I like the green details. Is that cast in?
Its inlaid after the clear piece is casted
Cool job MS, looks great! I never researched the ROTJ RF that deep, but here's a MoM photo of the rear side for comparison..
Jordy great work as usual!!!
Nice job Jordy. Anyone got any good shots of the ESB rangefinder?
That's sweet! Can we assume those were originally green lights of some kind? If so that supports my original Rangefinder set up.
Awesome - very well done
Is it Hollow?
So does that mean you can make me one for my almost complete M_S ROTJ bucket.
You have PM

I think those might be wires that connect to a white-light bulb. The Jedi helmet originally had the same black detail piece as the Empire helmet, but it fell off some time before Jedi.
Oh you're right! I can see the glue marks on the MoM RF. Great piece of detail info TD.
Impressive .......... most impressive . After much deliberation and some research I have come to a conclusion . I am in the market for a bucket upgrade and seeing your work... well let's say ... the hunt is over . I will send you a PM
This Rangefinder is very interesting best i've seen so far.
You are trying to hurt me with this right Another superb RF!!! These details have been overlooked for far too long IMHO and I for one am ecstatic that this peice has been done to perfection.
That is just awsome I never noticed that before.
I keep coming back to this thread for reference! Any chance you might go into some details as to how you did it? So it's cast?...what does inlaid mean? Or did you have to saw the plastic and polish in places? Any room for LED's in the top of the RF?
PM sent...
Any more info?
WOW! I hate you. LOL j/k!
Thats crazy!!!!!!!! Well done!
Very nice job.. What do you use for the Geen inside?
Wow I thought this thread was dead, to get the green line effect I hand filed the 3 channels out then simply painted in a greenw/silver stripe. I played around originally with laying in green wire but found the extra work unnecessary.
You can't keep a good thread down!MARROW SUN said:

Ashley posted so many amazing Coachella pics so it was hard to choose our favorite, but this one has Katy Perry in it so obviously this one wins.
They hate each other on TV but the 'Carrie Diaries' co-stars look pretty chill at Coachella. Lovin' the flower crown, AnnaSophia.
Emma looks so 90's grunge Courtney Love style in this pic and we love it.
In the caption of this Instagram pic, the 'Glee' star referred to the music fest as "bro-chella." Stealing that.
Hilary's got the right idea—take a weekend away from your kid to sit out in the sun and enjoy a few brewskis. We'd do the same.
Fine, you caught us. Diane did not post this pic on her own Instagram. The people over at @PopSugar posted it. But regardless, it was too cute not to put in here.
While her Disney co-star, Zendaya, is in LA for 'Dancing With The Stars', Bella was living it up in Indio with her other BFFs. So beachy.
Oh ya know, that's just our favorite 'RHOBH', Kyle, hanging poolside with her nieces, Paris and Nicky. As in Hilton. Yeah.
People don't get prettier than Julianne Hough. Lovin' the braided 'do for sure, but this girl could wear a garbage bag and look gorgeous.
Can you spot the JoBros in this pic? Nick and Joe bring the party wherever they go, and next time we demand an invite.
Here's V. Hudge in her element, looking boho-chic as ever in that maxi dress and sunnies at the A|X Armani Exchange Neon Carnival.
Anyone else remember when David and Lucy used to date? No? Well this Insta Lucy posted brought back so many of those happy feelings. For us. Maybe them too though.
Whit looks like she's having the time of her life, but then again if we had a dance party at Coachella and were rich and beautiful and famous, we would be too.
James Maslow posted this pic of him and his BTR bandmates from the concert. We assume Carlos was just dancing too hard to join the picture...
Jess, Cash and friend looked like they had a blast without their two little girls, spending the weekend at Coachella. Tis the life of the rich and famous.
This is probably one of the few indoor shots celebs posted from Coachella, but we're still jealous of Troian's swanky hotel room. One day. #dreambig
The gleek was definitely gleeking out over her VIP armbands at Coachella. We would be too!
Hayley and Cassie (both from now-defunct TV shows) soaked up the Cali sun at Coachella—and posted tons of pics to prove it. This pic was definitely the cutest though!
