(On the game) "The beauty in any game is in the final result and it was a beautiful final result. Three-nothing at home in the opener for this franchise and MLS. The crowd was outstanding. The atmosphere was tremendous. It was everything you dreamed of. We talked about it before the game with the team. We said what an incredible feeling it's going to be when you walk in this locker room at the end of the game with your first win in Sounders' history. And they all had that feeling. I thought we were opportunistic. Was it the best game? No, I think we'll play better. We'll get our understanding down even better. I thought we did some things very well and some things we still got to work on. We were opportunistic and finished our goals. Tremendous finishing by Fredy Montero, on the last goal especially against the run of play. I couldn't be more pleased."
(On the play of Fredy Montero) "That just opens up spaces for other people. Fredy was the marked man going into this game ."
(On the play of others) "I thought Osvaldo (Alonso) and Brad Evans both played very well, They kept (Jorge) Rojas out of the game pretty much Talked about that an awful lot. Best way to shut down [Juan Pablo] Angel was to shut down [Jorge] Rojas and I thought Zach Scott with help from [Sebastien] Le Toux did a very good job on [Dane] Richards as result limited Juan Pablo's ground because the service got cut out. Osvaldo was tremendous, Brad Evans covers a ton of ground as well. Together, they bring a tremendous work ethic every day to the game."
(On the matchup of Jhon Kennedy [Hurtado] and Juan Pablo) "Because we knew they were going to play 4-5-1 and play one high, I said to Tyrone [Marshall], whenever they play one high, have John Kennedy mark and you stay free. [As] Jhon Kennedy learns English it's easier for Tyrone to direct as free man. They did a pretty good job of that all night. For Jhon Kennedy, El Presidente, I'm sure it was a tremendous thrill to have Colombians play against a player of the stature of Juan Pablo Angel, so I'm sure he was extremely motivated."
(On the crowd and atmosphere) "We want to make this a fortress and today was the first step in that direction. This is gibing to be a place in MLS where teams are going to have to think twice about coming in here to play. It has atmosphere, it's loud, I told Brad Evans after game we have to start working on hand signals because 'I can't hear a thing you're saying, coach.' I've never had a player say that to me in any MLS stadium. From that standpoint, it certainly shows crowd was definite factor. Uniqueness of soccer is there's a connectivity and interaction between crowd and players, and I think you felt that today."
(On being aggressors from the first minute) "We wanted to play the ball and get the ball in behind them and try to stretch them early. I thought they probably had more possession than we did at times and were able to move the ball a little bit better. But I thought we were dangerous off the counter. And we were dangerous off turnovers. As our cohesion and continuity and passing ... gets better we'll be able to maintain more possession. I thought Sanna Nyassi caused a lot of problems for them in first half. Got behind them, that was definitely a thing that bothered them. Sebastian on the other side couldn't get forward quite as much cause he was helping quite a lot with Richards. But he also found opportunities to go forwards. But I thought we were dangerous, definitely."
(On Kasey Keller) "Kasey's play, obviously that's what we want from him. He came up with a really big save in the second half there when they got in and I just turn to people and say that's the goalkeeper's job. He's supposed to stop those things. That's the reason we pay him money. What you don't see or hear is how positive he is with his back four. He's getting them to do things, but he's always very positive at pumping them up. He's not one of those goalkeepers who points fingers or rants and raves. I see a lot of goalkeepers when a mistake happens they're pointing fingers and embarrassing players and I don't like that Kasey does a good job of constantly encouraging his defenders and getting them to get reorganized and do the job in front of him He's a very important cog of our team in the back."
(On winning the opener): "I have a sigh or relief every time I win a game. Certainly nerves went into it. As we warmed up today, some 5-v-5, I told the guys butterflies are normal. If you don't feel them, you're not alive. Getting it behind us, getting first game, everything that was surrounding, everyone can now settle in and it becomes part of the regular work ethic we have to do. Certainly sigh of relief, but also a huge smile in terms of what happened tonight."
(On the 3 Amigos) "The 3 Amigos were good. They were very good. It took Fredy out at end of game [for] two reasons. I wanted Roger Levesque, who has been with the Sounders a long time, to be able to say he got in the first game, and I also as I told Fredy, I wanted him to hear the crowd. I wanted him to hear the crowd and hear the fans and hear the appreciation. Didn't want to pull him out too early because he might have been mad, because I might have kept him away from a hat trick. But Fredy was tremendous. Alonso was tremendous especially getting a yellow card as early as he did and still being able to play tough defense without picking up another card was great. Jhon Kennedy was good as well. I thought Tyrone Marshall was very good. Today, I thought his organization in the back and stepping up, he always had to pick up the free guy that came in therein the first half, and he did a great job of that."
(On scoring three and giving up none) "Any time we can score three goals and not give the other ones any, I'm very happy with that. As I said, I've been coaching too long to say this was an artistically beautiful performance or we dominated the game. At the same token, it's something that's going to get better. I always say the game of soccer is real simple in my mind. It's a turnover sport. It's how quickly do you react to turnovers. Teams that react to turnovers and adjust the quickest, offense to defense, defense to offense, are the best teams. The other thing that happens in soccer is every team has a period where they dominate the game. And you got to make sure you don't give up goals when they dominate, which we did when New York was dominating those 20 minutes in the second half we did a good job of not giving goals and we have to score goals when we dominate and we were able to score goals in the first 20 minutes of the game, first 25 when we dominated. That's what game of soccer is all about. We'll play better and better soccer. Obviously, still some pieces missing today. [Steve] Zakuani coming off ankle injury, Fredy Ljungberg also makes a difference to our team."
(On very first game in Seattle as Colombian player in this city and the people here) "I already liked Seattle. Now I like it even more. Support of fans was incredible, more than expected. We were there to make them happy and meet their expectations."
(On scoring first goal and being the star of the game and star of the night) "First, thank God for the opportunity, but also to thank the entire team and the coaches and the fans for their support. Obviously, this is the start of big things. Now, be prepared for even more."
(On comparing this game to games you've had in Colombia: "Not much comparison. Soccer played in Colombia is very different from MLS. But I am getting used to the dynamic and strength of the players and the speed of the game. And it's almost going to be an evolution to get even better adapted to the game and contributing to the fans and to the rest of the team and the team dynamics."
(On today's game) "Obviously everybody from the players and the staff, and want to give a huge thanks to the city and the fans to make it a tremendous atmosphere for all of us. I know there are a lot of players and a lot of players on the New York team who are extremely envious of what we have here. Big thank you."
(On the best part of today's game) "The coolest part for me after spending my whole career in Europe I was very nervous about coming home and being let down. Just kind of thinking 'Why did I come home for this?' But what was so tremendous about everything that I've had so far from the professionalism to the training facilities to the excitement of the city to now the unbelievable vocalness, if that's a word, of the fans tonight. I know the Seahawks talk about the 12th Man. I don't know what our catch phrase is going to be, but there's probably not a better atmosphere in soccer in America. It's a huge honor to be a part of that and it just makes that transition for me so much easier."
(On if it could have been better) "No. You couldn't have written it any better. Yeah. We could have won four-nil. That would've been about the only thing that could've made it better. For me obviously the win is paramount. You get a good two-nil lead. How many times do you concede a goal and look over your shoulder. They put us under a little bit of pressure midway through the second half and we rode that pressure well. We knew that the speed and offensive power that we have that if they have to chase the game against us and leave gaps in the back, we have the players to take advantage of that. I think we had opportunities to make it more than three. From Adrian [Hanauer] and Joe [Roth] that we want good exciting soccer. I knew there was times where maybe our passing wasn't quite as crisp and good. But you're never going to come away from tonight's game and say 'we didn't put the ball in their half and try to score goals.' We got three of them tonight and I think there's going to be more to come in the future."
(On the fact that he hadn't touched the ball yet) "I was excited. I was so happy. As a goalkeeper you work all training and you are always organizing. Tonight I said to the guys 'there's going to be an atmosphere tonight that you're not going to hear me. Because you're not going to hear me shout anyway unless you are ten feet away from me.' All that work is done on the field. So the guys know what's expected. And at times you have to yell at them and you do. But for the most part I was so proud of the guys in front of me, because the first half I was a spectator. That's the way I like it. If I can just have to make a save here and there, and organize, then we're going to win a lot of games."

G-Star's New Girl: Gemma Arterton
The new face of G-Star should look very familiar to you!
-Valerie Greenberg
With New York City Fashion Week right around the corner, it's time to introduce the fresh face of one of my favorite lines in particular….G-Star.
G-Star draws some of the hottest names in Hollywood and this year the show will be live at Lincoln Center. Stars such as Benicio del Toro and Natasha Bedingfeld have both been supporters. A-Lister Liv Tyler can be seen on billboards modeling for the line. Now G-Star would like to introduce British actress Gemma Arterton as the new face for their Spring/Summer 2011 collection.
Arterton is known for her leading roles in Hollywood blockbusters such as Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time and Clash of the Titans, as well as James Bond: Quantum of Solace and St. Trinian's where she starred alongside recent Golden Globe winner Colin Firth.
"I feel like a tough girl in a fancy frock sometimes, and I think G-Star is the same. I like the contradiction between glamour and durability. Sometimes people are shocked when they meet me because of this contradiction," Gemma said.
The campaign will hit the streets, appear in the pages of magazines and store windows come February. This certainly gives fashionistas something to look forward to. So who will be at the show this year you ask? Well we know we at Betty will be bringing you all the inside info!
Valerie Greenberg is an on-air correspondent / media personality who has worked with celebrities all across the board. At the Tony Awards she was the only print journalist to successfully stop Oprah on the red carpet!

After months of searching and attempts to catch at least two elusive coyotes reportedly roaming around Rochdale Village, animal experts and City Councilman Leroy Comrie (D-St. Albans) are warning residents not to worry about the wily predators.
The councilman began handing out fliers in southeast Queens Monday to help ease residents' fears of the coyotes. Since November residents have been claiming they have seen at least two of the wild animals prowling around their premises, but no one has been able to capture and remove them.
Comrie said his office had received numerous phone calls from constituents as recently as last week, but he thinks the reports are real and not analogous to the alligators in the sewers urban legend.
"People have seen dog-like animals that they think are coyotes, so something is up," the councilman said.
Comrie took advice from Joseph Pane, the state Department of Environmental Conservation's principal fish and wildlife biologist, on possible explanations for the appearance of the coyotes.
Pane, who has been working as a wildlife biologist for 20 years, said it is common for coyotes to spread out from their natural habitat to find food sources.
He noted the animals have a tendency to travel along train tracks and stations, such as the Long Island Rail Road's Locust Manor stop.
"Many of the tracks have places they can hide under," Comrie said.
Pane said residents should not worry about their safety because coyotes only eat shrubs, rodents and other small animals. If a person were to encounter a coyote, he suggested shooing it off by making noise and, more importantly, not feeding it.
"Don't do anything to attract it," he said. "What you have to do is to let the animal move on."
After residents first reported seeing the coyotes in November, the city's Animal Care & Control set up traps around Rochdale Village, but the agency removed the traps when the animals were not caught.
Pane said the animals are very sly dogs.
"It's too incredibly hard to catch one of them," he said.
Mel Holmes, a nearby homeowner on 129th Avenue, said that although the suspected coyotes have not directly hurt him, he is annoyed they are wandering the streets.
"It's a wildlife animal that has teeth and can bite, so it's natural to be up in arms," he said.

Korean Design studio Tangram has produced a concept for one of the most stylish iPad speaker docks we've laid eyes on. The Smart Mount is a slim cylindrical speaker with a docking port, as well as Bluetooth for wireless sound streaming.
But there's a little more to it that that: install the accompanying app on your iPad and it'll produce animated ambient artwork while your music is playing. With the whole thing mounted on a wall, it becomes a kind of gallery piece right there in your living room.
As we say, it's just a concept at the moment, but Tangram does produce a range of actual iPhone accessories, so we can definitely see this becoming a real product in the not-too-distant future.

A FRAUDSTER who conned people out of more than £150,000 over the course of 12 years has been jailed.
Simon Hayes, aged 48, of Henrietta Street, Leigh, admitted fraud at a hearing at Liverpool Crown Court on February 13.
He was jailed for 40 months on March 6, for multiple offences between January 2001 and June 2013.
Hayes would approach victims at their home or in car parks, claiming to be able to get them cheap electrical goods, which would never arrive at their addresses after they had given him money.
Some people were also asked to lend Hayes money to start a new business, which he never repaid them.
The £150,050 Hayes acquired fraudulently will be the subject of a Proceeds of Crime Act (POCA) hearing on June 6.
PC Paul Taylor, from the police's fraud team, said: "The range of offences shows how Hayes would do absolutely anything to get money and how trusting he came across to the people he stole from.
"From our investigations, it seemed that Hayes spent most of his money on gambling and has been barred from several bookmakers across the Wigan and Leigh area."

Captain F.P. Moosaly's Memorial Services Speech
I remember turret two. I remember their faces as they toiled at their guns, sweating an honest sweat that comes from young men dedicated to a great cause. Who chose to serve, to grow, and to learn with others, while securing a place in history for generations after them. I remember their strong hands as they wielded their great charges with an energy I could marvel at. The energy of their youth which they channeled towards their love of freedom. I remember as they talked among themselves, looking so much like sailors of our past. Sharing the exuberance of the times and the dreams of the future. I REMEMBER TURRET TWO
They were the life, the spirit and the soul of our ship. They embodied the ideals of our history and the hope of a brighter tomorrow. They gave themselves to the goals we all share, and they made the ultimate sacrifice for us. We will not - nor can we ever forget the lessons they taught us.
The crew of IOWA shared much with turret two. We shared their enthusiasm. Their drive and their kindness. We worked side-by-side and shoulder-to-shoulder to build a team, a family, a common bond which can never be broken, and though they have left us in body, they will always remain with us.
We came together in times of trouble, we shared the good and the bad, the comedy, and now the tragedy. The grief we share with you - their families, is deep. But we must go on. FOR WE ARE THE CREW OF IOWA. Permanently fused, like the steel of the ship we sail. Our sides are strong, our towers high, and our course is set. WE ARE THE IOWA. A part of every rivet, every plank and every line. We are the ship. She breathes through us, and she lives as a part of us. As long as she sails the seas we will be a part of her. A part of the IOWA spirit. That spirit lives on - and the men of turret two will forever be a part of that living spirit!

I cannot begin to imagine the power of attention.
This morning I turned my phone off for several hours and wow… I got more done and had more focused time than I have had in a while.
Each text message shouts for attention. Each email vibration demands a split second of distraction. A mini moment of decision.
Will I continue working on my current project or go check my inbox?
I get upset at myself that I can be so easily distracted.
Nonetheless, I realized how absolutely powerful attention is.
Whatever I give my attention to is what I can get accomplished. Nothing more, nothing less.
Attention. Attention. It's a super precious thing. Protect it with all might. (Talking to myself.)
Then about noon I noticed a tweet by Donald Miller:
Keep your phone off in the morning until you've finished working on your most important project. Do this for a year and you'll run the world.
Wow. Right on. That's what I've discovered. At least the first part.
Looks like we both had a similar morning of making good progress. Maybe because we share the same family name.
The disorder?
In recent years we've heard lots about attention-deficit disorders. I don't doubt that there may be legitimate claims to this. However, healthy people sometimes use the 'disorder' as an excuse and welcome the disorder that hadn't existed.
I believe that what we say matters a whole lot and makes a big difference in our lives.
Death and life are in the power of the tongue, And those who love it will eat its fruit. Proverbs 18:21
I think this makes it real simple. We can categorize what we say— would it fit in the life category or the death category.
Then, if we use the life category, words, we're welcoming life.
If we use the death category, words we're welcoming death.
While we're on the subject: words can change our attitude and even our life. Michael Hyatt writes about it here and talks about it here.
What can you tell me about your experiences with attention or focus? Thanks for your visit. If you read this, I'd be delighted if you would comment below.

A good cruise overall: Westerdam Cruise Review by cruise5peryear
Overall Member Rating
A good cruise overall
Destination: Eastern Caribbean
Embarkation: Fort Lauderdale (Port Everglades)
The Westerdam is a beautiful ship with understated, elegant dEcor. Art displayed throughout the ship is generally nice with few garish pieces in evidence. Most art is labeled as to artist and history. Nice music plays throughout most parts of the ship, both in the background as well as live in several venues. This is a user-friendly size vessel. It's easy to find your way around without too much walking. There are many places available during the day in which to find privacy and quiet to read, journal, play cards or simply relax. On Observation Deck 10 adjacent to the Crow's Nest lounge you'll find a nice sized library with a fair selection of books as well as Internet access, all with a view to the sea. Librarians are on duty during most of the day. Seating in this large area is very comfortable, as well, with an ample number of plush leather chairs and sofas. And the convenience of having the Explorations Cafe coffee bar nearby cannot be More beat.
Throughout our cruise room stewards were unobtrusive bordering on invisible, with no service carts to be found in the corridors that would impede traffic flow. The staff on the Westerdam is very friendly, with few exceptions. Most staff encountered in dining venues and bars were quite attentive and pleasant to talk with.
Service in the main dining room, where we dined three times, was usually efficient. Some meals, both in the main dining room as well as on the Lido deck, were quite good. Breakfast on Lido was always a treat, with a great variety of quickly prepared to order dishes, including freshly made omelets and several types of Eggs Benedict, accompanied by a generous selection of juices, teas and very good coffee. Much to the credit of the kitchen staff, this is the first ship we've been on where the scrambled eggs actually taste like real eggs and the mashed potatoes taste like real potatoes. Later in the day we always found a large choice of salad items to accompany our entrees as well as a fairly good selection of desserts. Even the barbecue lunch that was held on Half Moon Cay, Holland America's private island, was well organized and delicious. Due to the ingenious setup of the serving area lines there were short to non-existent most of the time.
Rarely was there a problem with cigarette smoke aboard the Westerdam, inside or outdoors. Most passengers seemed to be very considerate of others.
Unlike previous HAL cruises, we found that age ranges of passengers on this particular cruise were quite varied, ranging from infants to folks in their 80's and perhaps 90's. We actually saw fewer motorized scooters and walkers than we observed on recent cruises with other cruise lines. Being in our 50's, we definitely did not feel like the "young ones" on this HAL cruise. There were many children aboard, but most of them were quite well behaved and tended carefully by their parents when they weren't in the childrens programs. It seems to us that Holland America clientele may be a bit more sophisticated in their attitudes and behavior than with some other lines that will not be named. We found that polite behavior was definitely the norm rather than the exception on this cruise.
Not So Positives:
There is little to no accommodation made for the handicapped at the lifeboat drill. Those who could not stand had no option (believe me, we asked) but to sit on the bare deck behind the standing crowd, which was difficult at best and painful for many, not to mention hazardous for everyone. This position made the entire drill pointless for the handicapped since no demonstrations could be seen through the legs of the crowd. Handicapped passengers on other ships are often shown their lifeboat station but then taken to an adjacent lounge to receive safety instructions and watch a life jacket demonstration from more comfortable seating OFF the floor.
Air conditioning in the staterooms as well as the entire ship seems to run hot and cold. It seems there is no uniform temperature to be had anywhere aboard. Sometimes water in the shower only runs cold, as well.
Staterooms can be very noisy due to inadequate sound insulation, particularly in the ceilings. This problem led to a severe lack of sleep in our particular location. Our stateroom was also very cramped and had too little storage. Despite our category being classified as a "large" outside stateroom, the spaces next to the sides of the bed were far too narrow to enable placing our luggage beneath the bed, thus reducing our closet space even more. The end of the bed was inaccessible due to built-in drawers that held extra blankets. Storage in the bathroom was less than minimal. And, it seems like a petty complaint, but the light on the magnifying mirror attached to the stateroom vanity was so dim as to make the mirror useless. A non-lighted magnifying mirror hanging in the bathroom would have been a far better choice.
Our room steward never introduced himself, so we never did learn which one was ours. Regardless, our steward never provided ice in the afternoons, when it is most needed, and often forgot to provide items such the daily schedule, which meant another trip down to the front desk to wait in line for one.
On this particular cruise the Westerdam was not stable in moderately rough seas, leading to many passengers suffering from sea sickness. This was the first time in years of cruising on a large variety of vessels, larger as well as smaller than the Westerdam, that we experienced this debilitating malady. It could probably go without saying that spending hours and even days of one's cruise in bed does not make for an ideal vacation. Fortunately for us, after the first day at sea the ocean and the ship calmed considerably.
Lines for meals on the Lido deck are usually quite long and not managed well, leading to many passengers cutting ahead of others who have been waiting their turn. Sometimes this occurred simply because there was no easy way of telling which direction the line ran. And, now, because passengers are no longer given trays for their food, you must find a place to set down your plate and then return to several separate areas for beverages, bread, salad, desserts and so forth before being able to sit down to enjoy an entire meal. Finding available tables on Lido at breakfast and lunch time was almost always difficult and frustrating. Often we had to stand next to a dirty table and wait for staff to notice that it needed to be cleared before we could sit down. As a result of all this waiting and going back and forth for items, most hot entrees were lukewarm or even cold by the time we were able to begin eating.
The Dutch tea that was featured one afternoon was served by dining room staff at the entrance to the main dining room, not at the table. This seemed inconvenient at the time, as one could not return for a missed item or try anything different than the few things initially chosen for the tiny plate that was provided. It was also difficult to tell what the individual items being served actually were, as nothing was labeled and the lines for the tea were such that we didn't want to inconvenience those waiting their turn behind us by asking the serving staff about every little thing. To top it off, we were seated at a severely cramped table that was extremely difficult and actually unsafe to access. Once we did manage to squeeze through to our chairs, as a result of the shortage of space we literally couldn't use more than one hand to reach our tea or our plates! Then when we tried to leave the table, squeezing through the many chairs left us bruised as some passengers were unwilling to budge. Due to these problems, this Dutch tea was a memorable one, but definitely not in a positive sense.
Seashells found at the beach are not allowed on the ship. This would not have bothered us so much except that the gangway by which we left the ship did not have a sign stating such a policy and the other gangway, which we had to use to return to the ship, did. Thus, upon going through security, we were forced to leave the ship to discard the shells before coming aboard again. We've never been on a ship that didn't allow clean seashells back aboard. These (2) shells were bleached by the sun and clearly not taken from live creatures. In addition, we had taken care to wash all sand from them prior to entering the ship. At the port we'd hiked quite a ways over rocky terrain to find them. Had we known of the ship's policy in advance, of course, we would never have made such an effort and instead enjoyed the port of call in other, less strenuous ways.
During the entire cruise we were not able to secure even one of the teak deck chairs as there are too few in number to meet demand. We were also never able to find any of the many photographs we had taken during our cruise because the ship's photo gallery was too small for the staff to put up the majority of photos taken. There is no computerized face recognition system on board to make the task easier.
Finally, most of the entrees for lunch and dinner were overly spiced, some combinations of spices turning out very badly and leading to uneaten meals as a result. Service in the main dining room was extremely slow on the first night, resulting in cold entrees and melted ice cream for dessert. Later in the cruise we were told that a crew change had recently taken place, which could account for some of these problems, but we didn't know this when we decided after the first night that we would avoid the main dining room most of the time. Other passengers complained of slow service on subsequent nights, as well, but we experienced much better service on the other two nights we dined in the MDR.
Despite the deficiencies, the Westerdam actually did provide us with a fairly nice cruise overall. Because we cruise the Caribbean quite frequently, the ports of call were nothing special for us. We cruise mainly for the ambiance of the ship and the niceties on board that can make for a relaxing time. For the most part, the staff and amenities of the Westerdam provided this. Should we cruise this ship in the future, however, we will avoid signing up for a category guarantee type of stateroom and instead choose our room location quite carefully. Being under a crew work area that is noisily active all night is not conducive to getting a full night's rest, nor does it provide the energy needed to partake in many activities the next day. Less

We liked it; we really liked it!,

|This extremely interesting play offers terrific acting in an intimate setting. It's about a dysfunctional couple caught in an unhappy marriage. It had us talking about it long after it was over. Approach this play with an open mind and give it a try!

Miserable & Boring,
|reviewer: Pained in Peoria from New York
|Awful.Miserable couple complain about their lives for two uninterrupted hours. No drama at all, endless dinner party scene. No back story, no character development. No fun. No insights. A no intermission trial of audience patience. The acting is fine-both leads are convincingly insufferable. But to what end? Samuel Beckett meets Thirty Something. Ugh.

excruciatingly boring- no insight,
|reviewer: Vivian from New York
|what a waste of talent!! how marisa tomei and frank whaley agreed to be in this production is beyond me. people were sleeping in the audience. it's strange to have a comedy where no one laughs and there is no connection to the audience. after the play, they must have known how the audience felt and took one quick bow and ran off. this play offers no insight whatsoever, so it's hard to care about the characters. skip this one.

From The End to The End,
|reviewer: Anonymous from NEw York City
|The play starts off with the female character totally degrading the male and it seems the relationship is doomed. It continues throughout the play, although sprinkled with some great comic acting at times, the play finishes with the relationship over as was suggested in the opening. No dramatic question, no suspense, no play. The acting is great but can't save this one.Skip it!

Harrington maintains good form
Another solid display by Padraig Harrington saw him take the lead after the second round of the Dunhill Links Championship.
The Ryder Cup star birdied his last two holes of the day at Kingsbarns for a second successive round of six-under-par 66.
Overnight leader Eduardo Romero of Argentina, also in action at Kingsbarns, followed his opening 65 with a 68 to lie one shot back.
Another shot behind was Sweden's Mikael Lundberg who had five birdies on his back nine at Carnoustie to card a second 67 in a row.
The 29-year-old Swede, who is yet to win on the European Tour, was delighted with his performance after reeling off birdies on five of the last nine holes.
"I was very pleased with today," said Lundberg, who has missed 12 cuts on this year's European Tour.
"Before this week, I felt I had been putting the worst I had been all season and I knew I had to change something.
"I just changed my grip on my putter and it has been working well.
"Conditions were tough today and I was just happy to get round with a good score."
India's Jyoti Randhawa, who is back in action after a motorcycle accident earlier in the year, had a 69 at St Andrews to lie fourth on nine under alongside another Ryder Cup player Thomas Bjorn.
Sandy Lyle improved on his first-day 69 with a 67 at Kingsbarns to share sixth place with South African Nic Lawrence and Spaniard Santiago Luna.
Simon Dyson was forced to use a new set of clubs after his were stolen from his car in a hotel car park on Thursday night.
The Englishman, who borrowed a set of irons and a driver from Nick Daugherty, shot a second-round 68 at Carnoustie to climb the leaderboard into a share of 16th place on five under par.
"I was absolutely gutted when I found out this morning they had been taken and I panicked a little. I didn't know what to do," he said.
Colin Montgomerie recorded the first albatross on this year's European Tour, holing out with a four-iron from 209 yards at Kingsbarns' par-five third hole.
It helped the Scotsman move to five-under for the tournament.
Sweden's Anders Forsbrand also had a moment to remember with a hole-in-one at the par-three 13th at Carnoustie.

Tonight Comcast bid for Time Warner Cable. A measly $45 billion. If the deal gets approved, Comcast will be the 'pipe' into 35 million or so of America's 115 million households.
My son celebrated by watching more Netflix.
I am not sure if Comcast has seen the 1155 posts on Business Insider (since 2009) reporting on'The Death of Cable and TV'. Here is a chart of Comcast ($CMCSA) beginning in 2009:
Here is a chart of $CBS beginning in 2009:
If this is dead, f@*k living.
CNBC will spend ALL day tomorrow repulsing you with the details. David Faber of CNBC will get a raise for possibly breaking the story. I don't think he should since he works for Comcast (which owns CNBC).
In my world, David rides the elevator with everyone that knew of this deal. Based on the stock prices, he was the LAST guy to know and break a real story.
Google is the story tomorrow. The Comcast/Time Warner deal only raises the evil tolerance ceiling for Google. That's still the real long term problem for Cable (not that they care).
The takeaway as always…follow smart people and prices… and content is king.
Off to watch some great content (Stewart and Colbert) on my dead television.

WALTHAM, Mass. -- Boston Celtics point guard Rajon Rondo talked with the league an hour before the team's Thursday afternoon practice and was awaiting word on his fate after his role in Wednesday's melee during a loss to the Brooklyn Nets.
"I told them the truth," Rondo said of his conversation with the league. "I don't know what's going to happen. They haven't made a decision yet, so I'm just waiting to hear back from the league. I went through practice today hoping I'll play tomorrow, but you never know."
What does his gut tell him?
"You never know, you just never know," he said. "It's out of my control. Whatever the consequences are, that's what they are. I don't think I did anything dirty. I didn't try to start a riot. I don't think it was more than a pushing war. That's about it."
After Nets forward Kris Humphries delivered a foul that sent Kevin Garnett crashing hard onto his back in the second quarter, Rondo immediately confronted Humphries, delivering a two-handed shove. The two then got tangled, with Rondo the aggressor, and the shoving spilled into the stands beneath the basket in front of the Celtics' bench. Players and coaches from both teams rushed onto the court, with security and team personnel trying to defuse the situation. Rondo was one of three players ejected from the game.
Celtics coach Doc Rivers did not believe Rondo's actions deserved a suspension.
"The only thing would be is they went in the stands, which you never want. But there were no punches thrown or anything," Rivers said. "And, really, when you see it, I thought Rondo was trying to get him away and then he kind of pulled Rondo into him and that's when everything started. So I don't really believe he went in there trying to fight. I don't think anyone did. It just escalated and that's what happened. I thought the game, at least on one end, was physical. And you can hear some of our guys complain about the cheap shots and stuff like that, and it really never got cleaned up, and then it led to that."
Rondo called the foul by Humphries "malicious," and explained why he reacted the way he did.
"Well, I thought the play on Kevin was a malicious play, you know?" Rondo said. "I got hurt last year on a similar play like that -- a guy going up in the air, defenseless, on his way down. And you know, I just, I pushed Humphries. And after that, it was a pushing war."
Does he regret his actions?
"I know I have to be out there for my teammates," he said. "That's the only thing about it. But I was sticking up for my teammates. I didn't try to start a fight. I'm not trying to be a bully. I just didn't think the play was fair that he made on Kevin, that's all."
Rondo has a history of losing his cool on the court. He was suspended one game for bumping an official during last season's playoffs, and he got a two-game ban for throwing a ball at an official during the regular season before that.
"This game is a contact sport, it's an emotional game. I play with an edge every night," Rondo said. "I think that's what separates me from a lot of guys. So I'm not going to let that take me away from my game. I didn't do anything dirty. This is a new day and era, the style of how we play the game. Back in the day, the ball would have been checked up, some free throws would have been made and we would have kept going. But, it's a new era, and we've got different rules now."
Rivers affirmed that he wants Rondo to be able to control himself during what he often refers to as "emotional hijacks."
"The one Rondo understands is he can't allow himself to be taken out of the game," Rivers said. "And he did last night. Now, again, I don't think he had any intentions when it started. I don't think he went in there thinking, 'We're going to get in a fight.' I'm just going to stand up for my guy and got his legs up under him. Unfortunately the other guy reacted. Rondo reacted back. And then, now you're out. Again, it's snap, it's quick, and it could happen to any of us, and it has happened to me."

Just added some 3″ square editable printable pdfs to the shop. The chandeliers were a request from a customer. I couldn't decide if I liked one chandelier per tag or more, so I did both.

Please note: This post may not be appropriate for little ones to see.
I was touched and inspired by this post over at Just Something I Made. Cathe Holden is not only incredibly thoughtful and kind, but she's outrageously creative. She started a letter correspondence via the Tooth Fairy with her kids. What a great idea!
I created a Tooth Fairy Letter Kit for the shop for those who would like to do the same with their kids. It's a pdf file that includes two sizes of notes (cause sometimes you have a lot to say and sometimes you don't) and a petite envelope in both a pink colorway and a blue. And because it can be a challenge to write so tiny, you can type your letter right into the pdf before you print it out. The petal envelope requires only scissors to create and a folded dollar bill (if you're so inclined) fits inside it quite nicely.
"Brush your teeth at least twice a day" and "Visit your dentist every 6 months" are printed on the envelope.

Can you ever hear (or say) Thank You enough? It feels good to give thanks and it feels good to receive it. These little note-lettes were inspired by Carly. She left a comment in the It's About Time Give-Away post suggesting these.
You can write a message on the back if you like. Leave one on the table with your tip at a restaurant, in your mailbox for your carrier, punch a hole and thread some ribbon and attach to flowers you're giving someone or ??? Leave a comment and share your ideas on how you will be using them.
Enjoy and Thank You Carly (I'm handing you a virtual note-lette right now) for the great suggestion!

When Cindy, over at Skip to My Lou, contacted me about guest blogging, I thought "How fun!". Today, our first collaboration is posted and there's a little something for you. Cindy had this great idea for a PDF. A door hanger that lets the little neighborhood pals know when your kids are available to play.
If you want a more personal door hanger, I just added an editable PDF to the shop. You can personlize it with your child's name. Is it just me or would this be funny to make and hang on an office door or work cubicle?

**Update 7-30-2009** A big THANK YOU to everyone who has left a lovely comment and/or spread the word about this little booklet. I truly appreciate you!
At times, it can be so easy to take that slippery slide downward and focus on what's not working. It happens to the best of us.
About 5 years ago, I noticed each night at dinner when we would ask the kids "How was your day?", we would get a lot of what went wrong for them. We (the grown-ups) would try and point out the good in the gripe du jour. This would lead to defensiveness from the kids and an overall unpleasant dining experience for all.
So, one night I started out the dinner conversation with "Tell me 5 good things about your day." It ended up being a great conversation starter and the opportunity to teach the kids (and grown-ups) to focus on what is working. We still do this most nights at the dinner table. It's always amusing when one of the kids has a guest for dinner and we ask them to participate. They get a shy, funny look on their face, but play along. Repeat guests know the drill and often prompt the question and want to go first.
Long story longer (!)… This little printable pdf booklet came from our dinner routine.
Click HERE to download. I hope you enjoy it! Feel free to leave a comment on a good thing about your day or life.
As always, this is for personal use only.
note: the booklet doesn't have to be used solely to record good things about your day. It's also handy to jot down good things about a situation that is not ideal (your job, a relationship, etc). Pick any topic and find five good things about it.

Nairobi (AFP) Feb 09, 2007
A key UN environment meeting Friday agreed to launch partnerships between governments and industries to slash mercury emissions, officials said. Environmentalists have been pushing for a legal framework to cap emissions, but governments attending the UN Environment Programme's 24th governing council settled for partnerships, they said.
"They agreed on an enhanced mercury programme, which will be focused on partnerships between government and industries to reduce emmissions," UNEP spokesman Nick Nuttall told AFP.
The next UNEP conference in 2009 will review progress made towards slashing emissions blamed for brain damage as well as water pollution and decided on whether a framework is necessary, he said.
"I am encouraged," Donald Hannah, UNEP special envoy on mercury, told reporters at the end of the five-day conference in Kenya.
"No one said no to establishing a legally binding framework and we decided to work out how and if this system could work and then we can make a decision in a much more informed way," he explained.
Experts say the toxic emissions are by-products of coal combustion used in power generation and in the refining of gold products. Mercury poisoning can result in foetal deformities in pregnant women and neurological damage.
UNEP chief Achim Steiner welcomed the limited progress, but said more action was needed the clinch a legal framework that would make reduction of emissions binding.
"What we have ensured with the decision today is that they can proceed as individual countries, but also with international efforts to work on the issue of mercury while we still look at the final tool," he added.
Activists though said the deal was a setback in efforts to rid the environment of mercury alongside greenhouse gases and lead.
"(The) environment ministers failed to set global demand reduction goals and export bans to reduce the impacts of mercury around the world," said Michael Bender of the Zero Mercury Coalition.
"The steps they agreed on are inadequate to address the urgency of the global mercury crisis," he added.
Experts are concerned about the rising mercury levels in the atmosphere, particularly about the emerging reliance on this toxic compound in developing economies.
They lamented that developing nations were unwilling to push for a treaty.
"Coal (producing) countries, specifically growing economies in southeast Asia and eastern Europe, are seeing increasing levels of mercury but they see a legally binding treaty to cap emissions as a threat to their development," Hannah said.
"These (countries) may end up in mercury-free zones but also in unemployment zones" if a legally binding treaty were to take effect, he said, calling on such nations to back the envisaged treaty.
United States and developing powerhouses India, Brazil and China are opposed to the legal framework and instead prefer voluntary reductions measures.
While Japan, whose staple food is fish -- the most vulnerable to mercury poisonong -- leads other nations in calling for an urgent treaty.

SYDNEY — A 29-year-old Sydney man who was facing a multitude of charges had all counts against him dismissed.
Jeffrey Allan Deveaux of Connaught Street was charged with 11 counts of assault; three counts of assault with a weapon involving a screwdriver, water filter and pillow; two counts of uttering threats; and single counts of assault causing bodily harm and forcible confinement. The offences allegedly occurred in January in Sydney.
During a provincial court appearance this week, all counts were dismissed after the Crown reviewed the case and found no reasonable expectation of a successful prosecution.
