I can't remember who posted awhile back about Jaques Pepin's method of deboning a whole chicken, but I gave it a go tonight. Here is a link to his youtube video:
I ended up seasoning mine with Greek Seasoning, and then stuffing it with Prosciutto, Kalamata Olives, Artichokes, Capers and Feta Cheese.
Didn't want to waste the "chicken lollipops," so we had a nice little appetizer while we waited on the rest of the chicken to finish. My wife made an amazing homemade Greek Dressing as well, so I dipped the "lollipops" in that. Ahhhmazing!
Also drizzled on some of the dressing to complete the rest of the chicken.

Definitely one of the best things I've ever grilled up!

| Mewtwo Returns
Mewtwo Returns released in Japan as Pocket Monsters: Mewtwo! I Am Here (ポケットモンスター ミュウツー! 我ハココニ在リ Poketto Monsutā Myuutsuu! Ware wa Koko ni Ari), is an animated film based on the Pokémon anime, and is the direct follow-up to Pokémon: The First Movie. It originated as a feature-length TV special in Japan on December 30, 2000 and was released on VHS and DVD in Japan on March 21, 2001. It went direct-to-video in Australia on August 17, 2001 then in the United States (This is the last film to be distributed by Warner Bros. Entertainment, in the US) and Canada on December 4, 2001.
In the American dubbed version, the DVD (but not the VHS) features a second mini-feature in addition to the movie feature named The Uncut Story of Mewtwo's Origin. This 10-minute segment was originally part of Mewtwo Strikes Back's running length in the Japanese version, but it was cut from the U.S. release of that movie because it was likely deemed too dark and morose for the film's American "G" rating. Taken together with Mewtwo Strikes Back, comprise the life story revolving around Mewtwo, one of the more popular Pokémon characters particularly due to his rather human-like personality among most other Pokémon species. They are noted in chronological order below.
The Uncut Story of Mewtwo's Origin
The devious leader of Team Rocket Organization, Giovanni, has a fervent ambition to take control of the Pokémon world through both financial and military means. To achieve his military needs, he covets a Pokémon stronger and more adept than any other, a veritable living war weapon, so he enlists a scientist named Doctor Fuji to create this being from the DNA of the rarest and most powerful of Pokémon, Mew, which Fuji had found on a previous jungle expedition. Fuji accepts, for he is heavily into the prospect of cloning to create and restore life itself, because of his love for his deceased daughter, Amber. At the time of her tragic death, Fuji was devastated. Rather than trying to overcome his grief, Fuji figured he could instead clone Amber, and was in the process of creating Amber's consciousness in his offshore laboratory. However, his wife, as much as she loved their daughter, could not bear to see Fuji's misguided drive to tinker with life, and thus she parted with him for good. Fuji then received the order from Giovanni to commence the Mew cloning project, which he continued while trying to clone Amber.
A while passes, and a now physical, but young, Mewtwo rests in an unconscious slumber of development inside a containment cell, next to a cell containing the glowing conscience of a cloned Amber. Mewtwo stirs in mind and begins to communicate with the artificial conscience of Ambertwo in a plane of limbo, and the two entities grow a personal bond. This exchange is tragically short-lived, however, as the inability of science to recreate souls catches up with the project, and Ambertwo's consciousness fades into the darkness forever with the other prospective clones. She leaves the traumatized Mewtwo with the advice that life is wonderful, and to be alive is the greatest gift he has. Mewtwo, confused by her departure, succumbs to grief and desperately calls out for Amber telepathically, his brainwaves nearly overloading the lab's systems. Fuji immediately administers a hundred doses of serum, forcing Mewtwo to be subdued into an artificial state of calmness and ignorance of what just transpired. Fuji, emotionally broken by the now-permanent loss of his daughter, is now intent on ensuring that Mewtwo, his brainchild, survives.
Alone in the darkness, and unaware of whatever he apparently lost, Mewtwo develops in size and power, but is tormented in sleep by a single, cryptic question: "Life is wonderful...but why?"
Confused to his surroundings, Mewtwo summons the strength to break free of his tank. But upon learning of the selfish intentions of the scientists and how little they care for him, he destroys the lab and everything in it, beginning "Mewtwo Strikes Back", the first movie.
Mewtwo, his heart having been softened by the selfless example of the human named Ash Ketchum back in his birthland in the eastern Kanto region, has now traveled to the western region of Johto in search of a location that is unreachable by the prying eyes and harsh judgments of humans for the sake of his band of cloned Pokémon, with whose welfare Mewtwo is solely concerned. He eventually finds the perfect hideaway: a huge mountain named Mt. Quena, surrounded by steep cliffs that are practically impossible to scale, but in its top is a forest and a freshwater lake that makes for a near-utopia for all the Bug Pokémon living there. This is a perfect fit for Mewtwo's band, so thus they settle in the top of Mt. Quena and begin a new, safe life, with Mewtwo watching over as their guardian, as he feels they cannot belong in the world as they were not born in it (Interestingly enough, he seems particularly close to the Pikachu and Meowth clones, possibly reflecting how important their templates were in his change of heart).
At the end of the first movie, Mewtwo erased all memory of the events from all those involved. However, due to his not being on New Island at the time, Giovanni has not forgotten about Mewtwo, and has been concocting a military plan of assault upon wherever Mewtwo has settled to take the Pokémon back for himself. He at last locates Mewtwo in his new mountain retreat and begins his operation to assault and capture Mewtwo and bend his will to Giovanni's. The Team Rocket combat unit heads towards Mt. Quena.
Ash and his friends and Pikachu, on their Pokémon journey as always, are now passing through the area around Mt. Quena, but complications with the weather and the bus service force them to stay at a cabin at the foot of the mountain, where they would meet the Pokémon naturalists Luna Carson (voiced by Amy Birnbaum) and Cullen Calix (Scottie Ray) and the spunky girl Domino (Kerry Williams) who works for a Pokémon institute. But then a break-in and attempted thievery of Pikachu by the classic antics of the Team Rocket trio Jessie, James, and Meowth, and soon a series of turbulent events involving a scuffle on a hot air balloon, leads everyone into the airspace of Mt. Quena.
There everyone sees the approaching Combat Unit, and Domino, revealing herself in league with Team Rocket Organization as elite Agent 009 (or, as she calls herself, The Black Tulip), pops their balloon and sends everyone else plummeting onto the mountain while she returns to Giovanni to report on Mewtwo's status. Giovanni's operation to capture Mewtwo begins in earnest , with Ash and his friends and nemeses caught up in the core of it. Giovanni eventually succeeds in capturing Mewtwo with the threat that the other Pokémon clones would be his to capture and experiment if Mewtwo didn't comply. When Mewtwo complied he stepped into a ball Giovanni's 2 robots made and began getting tortured. With Ash and the Pokémon Clones in custody, Giovanni's operation is successful, and he immediately capitalizes by ordering the construction of a new Team Rocket base on the mountain.
The characters and all other cloned Pokémon that attempted to protect Mewtwo are then locked away in a prison cell, along with two mother Pokémon attempting to protect their offspring. While in the cell Meowth translates what the other Pokémon are saying: They're coming...and they're very angry. They're mad at whoever is polluting the lake and they've come to stop them. Domino eventually releases Jessie and James and puts them to work cleaning the new base.
Giovanni's greed for new Team Rocket bases becomes his worst mistake; without warning, a swarm of furious Bug Pokémon (that Meowth was referring to) from the mountain sabotages the Team Rocket base that is polluting the freshwater lake, and the ensuing chaos allows Ash and everyone with him to escape and scatter. Ash rushes over to Mewtwo, believing that this is the first time he's seen Mewtwo, and he and Brock try to free Mewtwo from the machines that are suppressing his mind and body, partly as thanks for Mewtwo protecting Pikachu earlier. However, Mewtwo is weak from using what was left of his power and strength to destroy the machines that held him, putting his life force in jeopardy, but Ash carries Mewtwo away from Giovanni's battle while Brock, Misty and the other clones along with the bug Pokémon keep Team Rocket occupied.
Mewtwo asks Ash why he's helping him, to which Ash replies that you don't need a reason to help someone in trouble. Mewtwo reflects that Ash may be one-of-a-kind, but Ash says that everyone is. As they reach the heart of the mountain, Ash throws Mewtwo into a healing spring that restores his power, prompting Mewtwo to finally accept that he is a real Pokémon, as the water affects him just as it affected others. The Pokémon clone rises and uses all his psychic powers to move the lake and the spring underground, and then uses his mind-erasing powers to clear Giovanni's mind of Mewtwo, the clones, and Mt. Quena. Team Rocket are transported away from the mountain, with the exception of Jessie, James and Meowth, who had hidden in a cave during the battle.
Ash, Meowth and various Pokémon convince Mewtwo not to erase their minds as well, because though Mewtwo would mean well to do so to keep knowledge of this natural sanctuary hidden from the destructive tendencies of humanity, Ash assures that he would permanently keep the mountain's secret unrevealed at any rate. Mewtwo agrees and personally thanks Ash for all his help and understanding, and he departs on his own as all the Clone Pokémon leave to lead life as natural Pokémon in the wild, sending Ash and co. in a Pikachu balloon and Jessie, James and Meowth in their normal balloon. As Ash, Misty and Brock were walking through a city, Ash hears Mewtwo's voice "I Will remember you always". The narrator concludes the movie with the rumors of a Pokémon who traversed the city at night.

- This special premiered in Japan between the episodes The Grass Route and The Apple Corp!.
- Before blasting off the first time by Typhoon, Team Rocket said "How many times must our plans be destroyed, before they're allowed to be tried? The answer my friend, is blowin' in the wind!" which is a reference to the Bob Dylan's song "Blowin' in the Wind".
- This special has never been aired in Britain, even though a dub exists, and it's been released on VHS there.
- This was the first time that any part of the anime franchise, other than openings, used digital coloring.
- Meowth's clone was never dubbed, saying its Japanese name of Nyarth. It is unknown why this happened.
- The cloned Meowth also says its Japanese name in Mewtwo Strikes Back, so it is possible this was done for consistency.
- During the conversation between Ash's Pikachu, Pikachutwo, and Mewtwo (immediately following Pikachu's arrival on the island), James comments "This is like the sequel to a movie I missed." Breaking the fourth wall, this comment is essentially true, since James does not recall the events of Mewtwo Strikes Back.
- Music from Mewtwo Strikes Back is used.
- The cloned Nidoqueen and Rhyhorn are shown to have mated and produced offspring; however, while in the games, not only is Nidoqueen unable to produce Eggs, but if she could, the babies would all be the earliest member of the female evolutionary line. However, this may relate to their nature as clones, although the fact Ash and co. didn't question their existence (or know about the clones yet) would suggest it was simply an error or that the anime has different rules than the games.
- At the end, Mewtwo overlooks a city that bears similarities to New York City (buildings that look similar to the Empire State Building and MetLife Building can also be seen).
- It may be suggested that Mewtwo let Ash know they had a previous encounter as Ash said "This time we'll both be able to remember." However, this is dub-added only.
- While on the Blastoise, Meowth has a discoloration on his feet.
- When the clones are captured by Team Rocket's Poké Balls, they are shown being captured as white energy instead of red energy which is shown in all other cases - again, this could be attributed to their nature as clones. It could also just be the nature of the balls themselves.
- Team Rocket's Poké Balls vanish upon releasing the captured clones - although this may have been meant to signify their destruction by Mewtwo.
- A Nidoqueen is a fully evolved Pokémon, but it appeared as a baby. However, its unevolved form is Nidoran F.
Dub differences
When being swarmed by angry Bug Pokémon, Giovanni orders to have them all killed in the Japanese version. This may have been removed from the dub because Team Rocket is portrayed mostly as thieves in America, rather than actual cold-hearted villains.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) -- Two Ohio residents have admitted to robbing a 75-year-old woman at a rest stop along the West Virginia Turnpike.
Forty-year-old Bradley A. Molden of Newark, Ohio, and 45-year-old Stephanie K. Hammel of Utica, Ohio, each pleaded guilty to first-degree robbery Monday in Kanawha County Circuit Court.
Prosecutors say Hammel went into a rest stop bathroom, took 75-year-old Carolyn Boster's purse and kicked her in the shin on Sept. 4. Molden was waiting for Hammel outside in his truck. The suspects fled but were stopped by State Police several miles away.
The Charleston Gazette (http://bit.ly/URZZfg) reports Molden and Hammel are scheduled to be sentenced on Feb. 15.

Florida flips receiver commit from Clemson
Published: Wednesday, December 12, 2012 at 6:19 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, December 12, 2012 at 6:19 p.m.
Florida's recruiting momentum kept rolling Wednesday as receiver Demarcus Robinson changed his verbal commitment from Clemson to the Gators.
The Army All-American made the switch during an in-home visit from UF coach Will Muschamp, running backs coach Brian White and new receivers coach Joker Phillips.
"I have a chance to play as a freshman and I want to play in the SEC, so I'm a Gator now," said Robinson, who is from Peach County in Fort Valley, Ga., the same school that produced former Florida star receiver Jacquez Green.
UF had been the early favorite for Robinson until he pledged to the Tigers during an unofficial visit to Clemson on July 20. He planned to attend two games in The Swamp this fall, but his ride fell through both times.
Following his Nov. 9 official visit to Clemson, Robinson claimed his recruitment was over. But Muschamp and company continued to pursue the 6-foot-2, 200-pounder, and their efforts finally paid off Wednesday.
"They've recruited me harder than anyone else," Robinson said. "I was impressed with the season they had, and I can tell they really need me next year."
Robinson officially visits UF this weekend and will be one of nine early enrollees in January. Rivals.com ranks the consensus four-star receiver No. 5 at his position and 48th overall.
Florida's 2013 class now has 25 members and five wideouts in Robinson, Alvin Bailey (Seffner, Fla./Armwood), Ahmad Fulwood (Jacksonville, Fla./Bishop Kenny), Marqui Hawkins (Columbus, Ga./Carver) and Chris Thompson (Gainesville, Fla./Gainesville). Verbal commitments are not binding until prospects sign their national letters of intent Feb. 6.

Question for the Money Doctors
Question submitted on Oct 12, 2012.
QuestionI am a US citizen that works for a foreign company. I do not reside in the foreign country that the company operates out of. I reside in the States for the most part. However, I will be receiving payment for my services. I am supposed to be paid in USD directly into my US bank account.
Firstly, do I need to pay US taxes in this situation?
If so, how do I go about doing so?
Please help. Thank you.
According to our foreign tax expert with our parent company McGladrey & Pullen, LLP, you need to report this income on your personal income tax return. A company, whether foreign or domestic, should be providing you with a w-2 or a 1099, whichever is appropriate, that you would use to report on your income tax return. If the company is not appropriately reporting this income to you on a 1099 or w-2, you must still report this income on your personal income tax return.

AN American-style diner in Worcester wants to extend into a late-night venue - by opening until 12.30 in the morning.
Detroit's, based at Jaguar House in Castle Street, is looking to expand its business by offering late-night entertainment.
Bosses of the popular restaurant have applied to Worcester City Council for permission to sell alcohol until midnight and stay open for an extra half hour beyond that to pull in more punters.
But your Worcester News can reveal how the move has already ran into opposition, with residents in nearby Severn Terrace and two councillors asking for it to be rejected.
At the moment the restaurant, which opened to much fanfare in 2011, closes at 9.30pm at the latest.
Owner Steve Castledine also wants to change an existing condition so customers can stay on the outside terrace until midnight.
The later opening hours has been out for consultation and after objections from councillors Lynn Denham and Jabba Riaz, backed by residents, a special meeting will now need to be staged to decide its fate.
Resident Max Nightingale, who lives in Severn Terrace, said: "We all like Worcester being alive, commercial and busy but there's places in the city centre which can accommodate this sort of thing very well.
"Once it opened up as a restaurant it has felt like we've got this perpetual barbecue smell all the time.
"The chap who lives next door must feel like he's having a hamburger every night."
Councillor Riaz said: "The restaurant sits right on the edge of a Conservation Area and there's residents very close by.
"If the hours are extended there's a risk of further noise and disturbance."
Both councillors have drafted a letter to the council's licensing team, saying the diner sits in a designated 'no alcohol zone'.
Mr Castledine was unavailable to comment but a member of staff at Detroit's said the intention was to expand the business's reach.
The diner, which overlooks Worcester Racecourse, offers authentic, typically over-sized American food and harks back to the 1950s, with themed decor inside.
A meeting of the city council's licensing sub-committee will now be arranged where a panel of councillors will be tasked with making a decision.

Home, beat home: Record stretch at Big A is over
O's again top Angels to end stretch of 10 series wins in row in Anaheim
ANAHEIM -- Mike Morin avoided injury, but couldn't dance around a loss.
The Angels' rookie reliever landed awkwardly upon delivering the second pitch of Tuesday's sixth inning, suffering a temporary tweak of his left hamstring that went away as he tossed three warmup pitches and recorded back-to-back strikeouts. Then came an infield single, then an RBI double to plate the game's first run, then a two-run homer that was the difference in a second straight 4-2 loss to the Orioles.
"The game can snowball and speed up on you," Morin said. "I was one pitch away from getting all three guys out."
Instead, the Angels dropped back-to-back games for the first time since June 15-16 and solidified their first series loss at home since May 5-7, snapping a club-record streak of 10 consecutive series wins at Angel Stadium by the team with baseball's best home record.
"They are just good, period," Orioles manager Buck Showalter said of the Angels, still owners of the second-best record in the Majors. "We've been fortunate the last two nights to have two guys who have pitched well here."
A revamped bullpen that entered with a 1.51 ERA in its previous 21 games gave up four runs for the first time since June 19. And for a second straight night, an offense that leads the Majors in runs was shut down by a starting pitcher with a sparkling track record against the Angels.
Twenty-four hours after Bud Norris gave up one earned run in 6 2/3 innings to put his ERA at 0.52 in five career starts against the Angels, Miguel Gonzalez allowed two runs in 7 2/3 innings, moving to 3-1 with a 2.23 ERA in four career starts against the Angels.
Gonzalez was one out away from completing eight innings for the third straight time when Mike Trout cut the deficit in half with a two-run shot to center field, giving him a team-leading 24 homers and 76 RBIs -- one shy of Miguel Cabrera for the Major League lead. But Orioles closer Zach Britton recorded his second straight 1-2-3 ninth inning, and the Angels remained two games back of the A's in the American League West.
In their five contests since the All-Star break, the Angels' offense has averaged three runs per game, two under their season average -- even though they've had eight additional innings in that span.
"We're not quite in sync offensively," Angels manager Mike Scioscia said after losing for only the fourth time in the last 16 games. "Not to take anything away from the two ballgames that were pitched, but in this streak where we've been playing well, we've faced some tough pitching and we've done well. We just haven't these last two nights."
Hector Santiago provided what Scioscia called "a very gutty performance," pitching five scoreless innings despite recently recovering from the flu and battling an escalated pitch count. It was Santiago's first start since July 10, but he took the mound on only three days' rest because he was needed for 2 2/3 innings -- and 38 pitches -- in Friday's 16-inning marathon.
After three innings, Santiago had already thrown 68 pitches. After five, he had 99.
The 26-year-old left-hander said he "felt great" heading into his outing, "but I definitely didn't have my legs under me. I didn't get to work out in the three, four days leading up to my start, and I usually work out every single day and run. I didn't get to do that from being sick."
Morin felt he "avoided injury" when his left leg collapsed on a fastball to Adam Jones in the top of the sixth, saying that the short-lived hamstring ailment is "nothing that's going to hold me back." Morin waved Scioscia off, but the skipper came out with trainer Rick Smith to make sure, and Morin eased their concerns with three warmup pitches and a couple of strikeouts.
But Chris Davis' slow roller to an empty left side repositioned in a shift resulted in an infield single, and J.J. Hardy's liner was perfectly placed in the right-center-field gap for an RBI double -- his first of two -- and Jonathan Schoop's towering fly ball went way out to center field for the gut-punching two-run homer.
"It was a bad pitch that got hit out," Morin said of the 0-1 fastball that stayed way up. "That's what they get paid to do -- hit bad pitches out. It's extremely frustrating; I don't know how else to say it."

Yvonne Shepard receives Rumely Award
May 23rd, 2013 | SMWC
At Reunion 2013, the Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College National Alumni Association Board of Directors presented the Frances Murphy Rumely award to former AT&T executive, Yvonne Shepard '68.
The annual award is presented annually in memory of Frances Murphy Rumely, class of 1935, whose life was a celebration of the education she received at her beloved Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College (SMWC). In her lifetime, Rumely volunteered thousands of hours to her college and community. The award recognizes graduates who demonstrates outstanding dedication to civic, religious or educational organizations, volunteers significantly to one or more such organizations and exhibits leadership through work for such organizations.
Honored to be selected, Shepard expressed her gratitude for the support of friends who nominated her. She credits SMWC for instilling in her the sense of responsibility to be a good citizen and help others.
"It's important to develop and grow, not just as professionals, but as human beings," Shepard explained. "The College emphasized the importance of academics, but also taught us to be good citizens. That's why we do what we do."
A native of San Juan, Puerto Rico, Shepard graduated from SMWC in 1968 with a degree in mathematics. She enjoyed a long and successful career in the business world, becoming president and chief operating officer of AT&T of Puerto Rico, a 250 million dollar subsidiary of AT&T with 400 employees. Later, she was appointed marketing vice president for global markets. In 1992, MANA, a National Latina Organization, a national grassroots organization dedicated to empowering Latinas, recognized Shepard as the highest-ranking female and minority corporate executive in the United States.
Jane O'Brien Argento '68, who submitted the nomination for the award, said that Shepard's desire for opening doors of opportunity to women of all backgrounds makes her very special.
After retiring from AT&T in 2002, Shepard pondered the next step in her life. Reentering the corporate world held little interest for Shepard, but she still felt she had a lot to give. She collaborated with a group of eight other like-minded, retired women executives from AT&T who were also considered too young to be retired with a strong desire to give back to the community. They formed a group now call NineWomen. Through the support and encouragement of the group, they searched for ways to enrich their own lives as well as the lives of others. Their journeys through this time are told in their award winning book, "Beyond the Corner Office." The book of essays provides tools and information to help other women.
The result of this soul-searching time Shepard realized her desire to help women, especially Hispanic immigrants and their children. She partnered with Literacy Volunteers of America and founded an English as a Second Language (ESL) program at her parish, St. Magdalen de Pazzi Church in Flemington, N.J. There she taught English to adult students and assisted them in the difficult transition to life in a new country.
Her deepest passion lies with her work with Hispanic youth through Hispanics Inspiring Students' Performance and Achievement (HISPA), of which Shepard chairs the board of directors. HISPA's mission is to inspire Latino students to stay in school and set goals for successful careers. The organization enlists the help of Latino professionals to serve as role models and mentors starting in middle school. In 2012, HISPA honored Shepard's service and commitment to Latino youth by naming a scholarship in her honor.
"We want these students to dream big," Shepard said. "Education is a pathway for these students to fulfill their dreams, and we are there to support them in their dreams by telling them, 'Yes, you can do that!' When we bring in the Latino professionals to speak to the students, they begin to realize that 'if he or she can do it, so can I."
Shepard and her husband Ron Zanders reside in Flemington, N.J.

Pukeko Pictures and Grand Entertainment collaborate
Pukeko Pictures and Grand Entertainment Ltd (GZ) collaborate on the new animated children's series, Apple Dog's Adventure
Wellington, New
Zealand, Tuesday December 4, 2012….
Pukeko Pictures today signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Chinese company, Grand Entertainment Ltd (GZ), to provide creative and technical oversight on the new animated series, Apple Dog's Adventure.
With an estimated total of 200 episodes x 10 minutes each to be created, the series has already been pre-sold to Kaku Satellite TV (with a viewer coverage of over 60o million in China), will be broadcast on CCTV and other major TV stations in China successively, with the first 52 episodes expected to be released in the first half of 2013.
Apple Dog's Adventure is a delightful 3D preschool puppet show starring a small dog with a magical apple that grows on the end of his tail. Based on a series of popular Chinese books, the stories focus on delivering simple life messages about how to live and play safely. The screenplay is written by a renowned Writer of Children's Literature, Mr Ge Bing, who has won many awards locally and has a large base of readers and fans in China.
The series will see the two companies collaborate as part of their relationship with the Animation School of the Beijing Film Academy which has established the "International Animation Technology Joint Research Centre" to actively promote the development of animated projects. The Research Centre is focused on expanding the projects into the international, Chinese and film and television markets.
"This new deal demonstrates our commitment to creating significant content with Grand Entertainment Ltd (GZ) for the Chinese market. The series will be based on the popular Chinese books that already have strong market appeal and recognition so we know as an animated television show, Apple Dog's Adventure will have great audience interest" said Pukeko Pictures' Chief Executive, Andrew Smith.
"Pukeko Pictures is thrilled to be working with Professor Sun and his production team. The whole team are throwing themselves at the project with an infective energy and enthusiasm which shines through in all areas of production from design, to music and the incredible sets they are constructing" said Pukeko Pictures' Creative Consultant, Martin Baynton.
"The Beijing Film Academy Animation School is honoured to cooperate with Pukeko Pictures on this project. In particular, we highly appreciate their help and support on the Apple Dog's Adventure and are deeply impressed by their enthusiasm and devotion to animation. Our aim with the Beijing Film Academy Animation School is to develop the strongest animation academic disciplines and cultivate top animation talent.
By joining hands with Pukeko Pictures and Grand Entertainment Ltd (GZ), we believe we can turn the Apple Dog's Adventure into an original animated children's classic. With this opportunity, we will also strive to introduce the best international criteria to Chinese creations and present the world with the best works created in China" said Prof. Sun Lijun, Dean of the Animation School and Vice-Principal of the Beijing Film Academy.
Following on from their success with the Pukeko Pictures' television series, The WotWots, Grand Entertainment Ltd (GZ) recently announced the production of the educational app, Love To Learn With The WotWots.
Pukeko Pictures is an independent entertainment production company, focused on the development and production of excellent quality, multi-platform entertainment for a global audience.

Vendor-dodging -- we've all done it. If I stopped to talk to every vendor and answer every survey or questionnaire, I would get nothing done all day, especially because our company has one receptionist and only very basic call routing. A vendor's job and ours will always intersect, and some conversations will be respectful, and others not so much. At least we can find some humor in the situations.
These days with caller ID, it's easy to avoid taking phone calls you know will be less than productive. But sometimes I'm busy with something and pick up the phone without looking, or the call appears to be legit. Then I'm stuck in whatever type of call the proverbial dice has rolled.
[ Also on InfoWorld: "IT's worst addictions (and how to cure them)." | Follow Off the Record on Twitter for tech's war stories, career takes, and off-the-wall news. ]
Some vendors are polite and listen, keeping the conversation short. Then there are the more annoying ones who don't listen to what you say, get your name wrong, and tell you it's not a sales call -- but who can eventually be dissuaded with sarcasm.
Me: "Well, we are actually in great shape right now, we have a budget freeze, we are in the middle of restructuring, and our parent company is in the Ukraine. So we really can't do anything."
Them: Click.
Sometimes, a very pushy vendor manages to acquire every extension for our entire department and systematically calls each one of them. In our cozy confines, one quickly becomes aware when a vendor is making the call rounds. By the third or fourth call, all productive work has ceased and it's time to resort to guerilla tactics. Here are some of the best ways to quickly get your name removed from the offending vendor's phone list.
- Transfer them to the fax line, every time.
- Immediately ask for a credit card number to begin billing them for your time.
- Answer and speak in a foreign accent -- a really thick, unintelligible one.
- Send them back to the switchboard and tell them to ask to be transferred to Sven, who doesn't really exist.
- Simply state that you are not allowed to speak to vendors and you have no idea who is. This tactic can often baffle them into silence, as they have no idea what to do next.

WARREN, Mich. - Chrysler workers say they will be holding a demonstration near the Chrysler Warren Stamping Plant Thursday to protest new work schedules they say are forcing workers to work 10 hour days and weekends for straight time.
In October, workers at Chrysler's Warren Stamping Plant said they learned the company had planned to impose an Alternative Work Schedule known as "3-2-120," or three crews, two shifts, 120 hours, at their plant.
The way the schedule worked, according to workers, is three crews (A, B, and C crew), would work four 10-hour days for straight time. Those on the B and C crews would have to work every Saturday for straight time and the C crew would be on a swing shift, working evenings Monday and Tuesday and the day shift Friday and Saturday.
Workers say the company cannot impose these schedules without the consent of the UAW International, but the International is giving its consent, threatening that the company will pull work out of the plant if workers don't consent.
Chrysler looks to try and impose these schedules corporate-wide, said workers, with WSP scheduled to start March 11 and Warren Truck Assembly Plant on March 4. Many U.S. plants are already on the 3-2-120 plan.
Alex Wassell and Martha Grevatt are part of the in-plan Committee for the Eight Hour Day and Overtime Pay.
"These schedules will create incredible hardship for workers and their families," said Wassell, a welder repair technician. "The company doesn't care about the foster mother who may not be able to adopt her special needs foster son, the divorced father who has custody of his son on weekends, the second tier worker who rides public transit and will be working until 2:30 AM, the workers who came from closed out-of-state plants who need the weekends to see families back home or the hundreds of workers who will have health problems related to working the swing shift."
"We have not seen proof that these schedules are needed to meet production demand," said Grevatt, a diemaker, "but management refuses to go with a traditional eight hour, three shift schedule. They can squeeze a little more product out of us because of less paid relief time on this schedule. It's really a 21st Century speedup and a scheme to get out of paying overtime pay and midnight shift's ten per cent premium."
The protest will take place Thursday, Feb. 28 from 1:30 pm to 4:30 pm near the Chrysler Warren Stamping Plant, located along Mound Road in the middle island in Warren.

Twelve sweetly spirited acoustic instrumentals glisten under Kalei's intricate ukulele handiwork. "Silent Night," "The Prayer," "What Child is This?" and "O Holy Night," are blissfully serene while standards "Winter Wonderland," "All I Want for Christmas is You, "Let It Snow," and "Linus and Lucy" are joyful and upbeat. Homegrown favorites, "Mele Kalikimaka," and "Holiday Hula," are delightfully playful while Kalei's original, "Winter Surf," will be the next must-have for ukulele fans. This season's shining star, Merry Ukulele Christmas, is the go-to holiday collection for an incredibly cool Yule.

Reviews of this property
Ottima esperienza nel cuore della "città vecchia" , nel quartiere Alfama di Lisbona. Suggestivo ed affascinante, un piccolo angolo immerso tra i sobborghi dell'antica città. Alloggio piccolo ma confortevole , comodo per conoscere tutti gli aspetti della capitale portoghese. Prima del viaggio il buon Ulrik ci ha inviato tutte le info più importanti stabilendo subito un ottimo rapporto di fiducia con noi, sicuramente contraccambiato. Consigliamo questo piccolo attico ad una coppia che ami tranquillità e romanticismo ma anche la voglia di conoscere la vera cultura di Lisbona.
Tolle Wohnung, alles war wie beschrieben. Die Wohnung war sehr sauber und das Bett wirklich bequem. Wir waren eine Woche dort und haben uns sehr wohl und willkommen gefühlt. Die Lage ist fantastisch, der Tejo, Supermärkte und andere Einkaufsmöglichkeiten sind fußläufig erreichbar. Kleine Cafés und Restaurants gibt es in Alfama an jeder Ecke, ebenso wie kleine Supermärkte. Wir können diese Wohnung uneingeschränkt empfehlen und kommen gerne wieder!
* Nice location in the middle of the life of Alfama
Use the map provided by Ulrik to find the a little bit hidden place.
You'll have to walk ~5 min uphill with your suitcase - the price of living in the middle of Alfama ;-)
* Perfect organization, all important questions answered by Ulrik in confirmation mail plus plenty of bonus material on Lisbon
Perfekte Wohnung für einen Städtetrip nach Lissabon ! Ruhig in Alfama gelegen mit hervorragender Organisation durch Ulrik. Es hat alles bestens geklappt! Danke!
We enjoyed our stay in Lisbon very much. The apartment is great and its location in Alfama is perfect to stroll around and get to know all this nice little places, local restaurants and sights this historic area has to offer. The way the apartment was refurbished is awesome and just fits. As you can see from the pictures and the description the place is rather small. But given the fact that no one spends too much time in his apartment in a city like Lisbon we rather enjoyed the cozy atmosphere. It is bright, everything you need to prepare a simple meal is there, the shower works well ;) and by the way... you have a great and very helpful host.
We really enjoyed our stay at the small Apartment in Alfama. It was clean and bright, newly renovated and perfectly located if you`re staying for a city-trip. Even in September it can get quit hot in the Apartment - luckily we had two fans and an aircooler.
The only thing to criticize would be the difficulty we had to find the house in Alfama at the night we arrived. Even garbage collector working 50 metres next to the building didn't know where the tiny little street was located. All in all we spent a great time in Lissabon and we would book with Ulrik again.
Die Wohnung ist in einer super Lage. Man ist zu Fuß in nur wenigen Minuten im Zentrum und trotzdem ist es eine ruhige und schöne Gegend. Die Ausstattung der Wohnung ist neu und in der Küche ist alles vorhanden um kleine Mahlzeiten zuzubereiten. Die Abwicklung mit dem Vermieter hat einwandfrei funktioniert und er hat uns bei allen Fragen weiter geholfen! Ich würde diese Wohnung jedem empfehlen!!!
Reviews for this host's other properties
It is very well organised this appartement. You get a code for the door, and don't have to see the host. In my case, the code was send in my spam mailbox so I called Ulrik but he immediately helped me to solve the issue.
It is a small appartment with everything in it and very well located, super neighborhood.We had a bit of a noisy neighbors upstairs but with earsbuds in, no problem.
- Quality assured accommodation
- Every host is verified by telephone
- Secure payment via SSL encryption

I love Chris Bohjalian (it is pronounce BO-JAHL-IAN, I have been pronouncing it wrong all along!) and listened to this audiobook since it was voted one of the best audiobooks of 2012 by Library Journal. It was interesting, told by 2 narrators, Mark Bramhall tells the part of the main character, and a Alison Fraser portrays everyone else in the story. The premise is that an airplane pilot, named Chip takes down a troubled plane, killing all but 9 people on board (That leaves 39 dead.) Unlike Sully Sullivan and his famous feat where he ditched the plane in the Hudson in real life and all 155 passengers were safe.
He is so bothered and has such PTSD that he becomes possessed by 3 of the dead passengers. He sees and hears and feels the pains from the wounds of a woman, a father, and his young daughter. The father insists his daughter is lonely and needs friends and Chip begins to plot to kill one of his twin daughters or maybe both.
Add to this concoction, a herbalist coven feeding everyone tinctures and special herbs (not to mention they are infatuated with Chips twins and plan to use them in some bizarre ritual) , a mysterious door in the basement bolted with 39 carriage bolts, voices in the night, a creepy house in the middle of nowhere, and a daughter with seizures and you have quite an event driven story.
Not a typical Bohjalian title, but interesting with multiple plot lines running throughout the story, makes this a complex story to listen to. Fans of horror who read Stephen King and Peter Straub would like this book.


text: Harris T Dearman was the son of Elisha and Mary Dearman in St Clair, Ala. about 1831. He was the husband of Eliza Jane Creel and the father of Elisha, Bertram, Mary, Martha Ann, and Roxane. In 1861, he joined the 9th MS Infantry and went off to war as many did. He was killed in battle in Murpheesborough, TN on Dec 31, 1862. Because Harris' compiled service records listed him as HT Dearman in the 9th MS INF there seemed to have been some confusion with claims for pension. Henry Dearman served also, but apparently not on the rolls of the 9th MS INF. One of the records look as if Henry's name was inserted on Harris' service record.... or part of Henry's record was accidently included in Harris' compiled service records since they both went by the same intials.

A PETITION has been launched in a new bid to save Ryedale Indoor Bowls Club.
Campaigners are hoping to gather support from the wider community before the next full meeting of Ryedale District Council on March 7.
Club member Terry Wray said they had been encouraged by the turn-out at an open meeting at the club last week and now hoped to gather signatures for the petition which would be presented to council members.
"This is part of a bigger jigsaw and another step we need to take to save the bowls club," he said.
"The next critical stage will be the full council meeting next month when we hope we can at least buy some time."
Mr Wray said they were looking to form a group which would re-evaluate the uses of the building, and while retaining it as a bowling club, look at a broader community approach to utilise the facilities.
"The Conservative group needs to look at the facts and form some form of retreat to give the club some time," he said.
"Once it closes, the club will just become another boarded up building.
"Anyone taking on the building would have to spend a fortune modifying it. It is wishful thinking that they will sell it."
Members of Ryedale District Council voted to sell the site last September following a report which pointed out that the club's survival had only been secured by the council halving the annual rent to £10,000.
Coun Luke Ives (Con), a Norton ward member, said that prior to the open meeting, he had not grasped the significance of the club to the local area outside of the bowling community, and there was an unquestionable wider community value.
He said: "However, the unfortunate reality is that the club continues to lose members, make a loss and is on the verge of insolvency. In the words of the chairman himself – it's skint.
"Even if the council was to make a dramatic u-turn, the club has no future unless we address the underlying issues that have caused the present situation to arise."
Coun Ives said a new approach was needed to transform the club into the community centre that it preaches to be.
"We need a new management in which all aspects of the community are represented, and surely this will help engage the wider use of the club's facilities," he said.

Tell President Obama to save Alaska's Rainforest
The inauguration of President Obama could mean the end of an eight-year assault on America's last pristine forests. We need your help to make sure the Obama administration makes a new commitment to protecting these remaining wild lands for generations to come.
Please go here to and urge President Obama to take immediate action to preserve the old growth wilderness of Alaska's Tongass National Forest.
In its final days, the Bush administration set in motion a plan to start clearcutting the ancient, majestic trees of the Tongass, our nation's largest intact rainforest.
Unless the Obama administration reverses this disastrous policy, chainsaws will start cutting through the Tongass as early as this spring, with logging in many of our nation's other pristine forests likely to follow.
When the Roadless Area Conservation Rule was first adopted, millions of Americans cheered its historic passing, which protected 58.5 million acres of wild national forest lands from development.
Over the past eight years, however, the Bush administration repeatedly attempted to dismantle the Roadless Rule. It refused to defend the rule in court, worked to rescind the rule one state at a time, and even went so far as to "exempt" the Tongass rainforest from roadless protections.
The Bush administration's final plan for the Tongass would increase logging fivefold, and create logging roads through priceless habitat for grizzly bears, thriving salmon runs, bald eagles, and the elusive Alexander Archipelago wolf.
Please send a message to President Obama and urge him to uphold the historic Roadless Rule for our country's remaining pristine forests, including the Tongass rainforest.
Thank you for standing up to protect the Tongass National Forest.

November is the month of NaNoWriMo. If a picture is worth a thousand words, and the NaNoWriMo target is fifty thousand words, then Angelya of Revive and Rejuvenate has said, surely we can post fifty pictures and be winners as well - IntPiPoMo! This is part of my contribution to the series.
The Vale of Eternal Blossoms is my hearth and home of those blasted Golden Lotus Dailies. But I think the Vale is very golden! Look at all the gorgeous autumnal trees, and golden palaces, majestic and rising high above us. Sometimes when I'm cranky with my dailies, I take a break and look at the amazing scenery around me.

Cottage Lifts Enterprises
Where quality and cost effectiveness meet.
What is a lift?
Hillside lifts are also known as hillside elevators, incline elevators, funicular railways, cable cars, hill climbers, and trams.
About Us
Cottage Lifts Enterprises' parent company, Mobile Millwright Service, was incorporated in the spring of 1990. Originally doing machinery repairs, the company started repairing hillside lifts. One day, while working on a lift, the neighbour came to watch and happened to mention that he would like a lift, but no-one locally was building them. A seed was planted and all the good points of the different lifts were incorporated into the first lift made by Mobile Millwright Service. From that point the company grew to making and installing 10 or 12 lifts a year. Lifts made by us can be found in the Smokey Mountains of Georgia and the Finger Lakes of New York, with the majority of lifts at home in Muskoka, Ontario, and nearby Georgian Bay.
From that day the company has been constantly fine tuning and developing new lift systems, from small cargo lifts to vertical lifts and dumbwaiters. We have designed, built, and installed a computer-controlled dumbwaiter to shuttle coffee and meals up three decks to the wheelhouse of the Wenonah II, a modern boat on the Muskoka Lakes built in the style of a turn of the century steamship. A few years ago we shipped a "Do-It-Yourself" lift to Goose Bay, Labrador, and the customer installed it himself, but the majority of our lifts are installed by our expert installers. We recently perfected and patented a lift that will be the first of its type to follow the terrain, thus eliminating the "thrilling" heights some lifts need to be built at to get over the rocks and valleys.
Of course, safety has always been our number one concern, and our lifts have as many as four independent safety controls that allow the operator to have complete command at all times. We have developed an emergency brake that, when tripped, will stop the car within one-eighth of an inch. With the superior design of the lift and numerous safety features the customer will have the peace of mind knowing it's safe. Our lifts have an outstanding safety record and have never had an incident in the history of the company.

The Massachusetts Bar Association honored Iraqi attorney Sua'ad
Abbas Salman Al-Lami for her work as a global leader in equal
rights with a Public Service Award on May 25.
Al-Lami has made it her life's work to advance women's rights in
Iraq. Voted the 2008 Iraq Female Lawyer of the Year by the Iraq
Women's Foundation, she received the 2009 International Women of
Courage Award from U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton
and First Lady Michelle Obama.
She is currently working toward her LLM in International Law at
the University of Minnesota Law School, where she serves as a
Hubert Humphrey Fellow.
"The Public Service Award is presented to individuals for their
contributions to their community and for furthering the public
understanding and respect for the law and showing extraordinary
leadership and dedication to improving the administration of
justice," said MBA President-elect Denise Squillante, who worked
closely with Al-Lami's host, the Hon. George F. Phelan of the
Probate and Family Court, to coordinate Al-Lami's visit to
Al-Lami's trip spanned several days, during which she met with
Gov. Deval Patrick, participated in a roundtable at Harvard's
Kennedy School, and attended a host of meetings with key leaders in
the Massachusetts legal community.
At the May 25 event, co-sponsored by the Massachusetts
Association of Women Lawyers, Phelan spoke of Al-Lami's
fearlessness. "The magnitude of what she has done is magnified by
where she's done it," he said.
Following her acceptance of the MBA award, Al-Lami addressed the
crowd and thanked everyone for "all of this kindness." After
sharing her own inspiring crusade to advance women's rights in
Iraq, she suggested others follow her lead. "I encourage more women
to be involved in women's rights issues."

Dreamfarm | Smood | smooth mash in seconds
Smood gives the best mash ever in seconds! It traps food and forces it through the coils, to give smooth and creamy mash with no bumps or lumps. It's very gentle on the wrist and is effortless to use. It has a little scraper on the end too so you can scrape out every last bit of mash. I use mine for potatoes, guacamole, and pumpkin. If I had a baby I would use it to make baby food too! Highly recommended!

Did you know?
The prize for winning the first golf tournament in Port Alfred in 1906 was 30 pounds sterling.
There are more than 15 good golf courses to choose from in the Eastern Cape, including the Wild Coast Sun Country Club, Royal Port Alfred Golf Club, St Francis Links and the Port Elizabeth Golf Club.
The Jack Nicklaus-designed St Francis Links is arguably the Eastern Cape's premier golf course. With its abundance of protected milkwood trees and spectacular water hazards, natural beauty is perhaps this establishment's top offering. This 18-hole gem also comes with a selection of plush accommodation, making it the ideal golf holiday destination.
The Wild Coast Sun Country Club is one of the best value-for-money golf courses in South Africa and also comes with accommodation. On the course there are some superb ocean views and the compulsory golf cart policy ensures that golfers are never too tired to take in the scenery. This 18-hole course is part of the South African PGA circuit.
Port Elizabeth, the largest city in the Eastern Cape is home to Port Elizabeth Golf Club and Humewood Golf Club, both of which are 18-hole courses. A common challenge at both of these courses is the strong wind that often picks up. Humewood has hosted the South Africa Open 4 times while Port Elizabeth Golf Club has been operating since 1890.
East London, another windy but welcoming city, has several courses to choose from, including East London Golf Club (18 holes), Gonubie Golf Club (9 holes) and West Bank Golf Club (18 holes). East London Golf Club is consistantly rated among South Africa's top 10 golf courses. It has hosted the Africa Open and is one of the oldest golf courses in the country.
The 18-hole Royal Port Alfred Golf Club has been hosting top golf tournaments for more than a century and offers excellent rates for visitors.

How to get here
Depending on where it is you wish to play, you could fly to either Port Elizabeth, East London, George or Durban and rent a car from there.
Best time to visit
If you want to avoid the crowds, avoid visiting the Eastern Cape during December. Most parts of the Eastern Cape enjoy fairly warm weather throughout the year.
Get around
Public transport in the Eastern Cape is very limited, so self-drive is the best option if you aren't part of a golfing tour.
What will it cost
A round of 18 holes will cost between R300 and R700 at most courses in the Eastern Cape.
Where to stay
St Francis Links and the Wild Coast Sun Country club both have accommodation options on the premises.

Forums: Index > Help Desk archive > Problem with Fred and George images
I'm not familiar with editing wiki pages, or really with posting in a forum with this format, however I couldn't help but notice that several of this site's Half-Blood Prince promotional images regarding Fred and George Weasley are mislabeled. I'm quite certain that the main images on each twin's wiki page is in fact the other twin. I think it's something that should be looked in to.

In the first of a series of guest posts on our blog, Matt Kepnes, founder of top travel blog NomadicMatt.com gives us a rundown of his favourite destinations in Europe. To keep up to date with Matt you can follow him on Twitter and facebook.
I fell in love with Europe when I backpacked through the continent in 2006. It fascinated me – the food, the buildings, the cafe culture, the cheap wine and beer…it was exciting, full of history, and breathtaking. I've gone back every year since.
And after years of coming to Europe and seeing every corner of it, these are the top destinations I think every traveller should visit at least once.
Prague was the first city in Europe that I visited. Setting foot in such a beautiful historic city with cobble stone streets, medieval buildings and castles was the perfect start for my European trip. What draws me to Prague is its history. A lot of people come here because it's such a well known party place but for me, walking down the tiny, winding cobblestone streets is like stepping back in time 500 years.
I love history and as such, I always knew I would love Rome. But it turned out what I loved most about Rome wasn't the history at all. I mean, don't get me wrong – the ruins are wonderful and extremely interesting to see, but what I really loved the most about Rome was the food. Rome is full with mouth savouring food. I particularly love heading to the Trastevere area across the River Tiber. It's away from the tourist traps of the ruins and it is here you can find a cheap, delicious, and local Roman meal.
Barcelona is just a cool city. The Bari Gotic neighbourhood is steeped in history and its winding streets are great to get lost in. The beachfront has a ton of delicious seafood restaurants where you can gaze on all those perfect, tanned bodies laying in the sun. The Catalan food is delicious. But what draws me to Barcelona is the wild nature of the city. There you can have dinner at midnight, go out at 2am, stay out way past dawn, and sleep all day. Barcelona is a city filled with food and excitement.
I don't find Budapest to be one of the most beautiful cities in Europe. I think it's beautiful but I can name 10 more that are even better. But what I love about Budapest is that it is exciting and vibrant. There's so much energy going on in this city – Hungarian food is delicious and there's a good dance and art scene. What I love most though is the ruin bar scene. These bars in old, abandoned buildings in the city are eclectic, interesting, and incredibly fun. They give this city character.
When I first came to Berlin, it didn't really click with me. I didn't hate it but I didn't love it. It was a bit grimy, run down, and far too big. But coming back a second time, I saw another side of it. It's a city filled with amazing art, music, and food. Sure, it still could use a paint job and it does take a long time to get anywhere but giving it a second chance showed me that there was a lot here I missed. I am extremely glad I came back.
I can't say exactly how many times I've been to Amsterdam, but it's in the double digits. And, for a brief time at the end of 2006, I lived there as a professional poker player (seriously). The fast-paced life, friendly locals, easy access to the rest of Europe, picturesque canals and beautiful architecture keep me coming back. The city is usually associated with red lights and marijuana but once you step away from that tourist scene, you find a beautiful historic city filled with modern art, a wide variety of food, and locals who are always happy to show a stranger their home.
Ever since I stepped out on the Champs Elysees, I knew Paris was it. I was in love. It had that 'je ne sais quoi' that people talked about, and I was unable to ignore its magic. Sure, Paris is large and expensive but what big city isn't like that? Paris is just too beautiful, vibrant, and filled with orgasmic food and history to hate. Being here is like being in a real life romantic comedy movie, but better. Every day, I dream of the magic that is Paris.
I have a strong affinity for all things Scandinavian, and Stockholm is by far my favourite part of the region. I've been there three times, and I am moving there next summer to learn Swedish. I think this city is one of the most beautiful I have ever seen. The reds and greens of the buildings have an old world charm that rivals cities like Prague and, during the fall, the changing leaves only highlight that beauty. Stockholm is also very historic, has a high quality of life, and the Swedes in the city are super friendly and welcoming. I've been 3 times already.
There are so many amazing places in Europe that it's hard to narrow down a list because once you start thinking of one, 10 other similar ones come in your mind. Before you know it, your list includes 1,000 places to see. But when I consider my favourite destinations in Europe, and the world, I think of the places I would love to live in. That's how I narrow down my list. And in Europe, I'd live in these cities.

15 Great Celebrity-Narrated Audio Books for Book Lovers Day
From Hugh Laurie's 'Gulliver's Travels' to Anne Hathaway's 'The Princess Diaries,' we've got the celeb-narrated audio book for you!
-Lucia Peters
Guess what, Bettys? It's Book Lovers Day! We're huge bookworms here at BettyConfidential, so of course we're looking forward to the end of the day when we can curl up in our favorite armchairs with our favorite reads. But even though we're largely fans of your normal, paper-variety books, we've also got a soft spot for a well-narrated audio book. So, in honor of Book Lovers Day, we've rounded up 15—count 'em!—fab audio books narrated by some of our favorite celebs. Winnie the Pooh as read by Judi Dench? Our dear, departed Paul Newman narrating The Adventures of Tom Sawyer? Literary heaven!
Bonus: Most of these can be gotten from Audible.com. Instant gratification? Yes please! Happy Book Lovers Day, Bettys!
1. Hugh Laurie – Gulliver's Travels by Jonathan Swift
If you're in the mood for a classic, we can't think of anything better than Gulliver's Travels as read by House star Hugh Laurie. Unfortunately, this one is abridged—boo!—but we're willing to overlook it for Hugh's intensely entertaining narration. For the curious, the actor has also recorded a reading of Charles Dickens' Great Expectations.
Read 25 Things About Jeremy Renner
2. Laura Linney – The Nancy Drew series by Carolyn Keene
Nostalgia alert! How excited were we to find that The Big C's Laura Linney has narrated a whole bunch of these classic girl detective stories? Start your day of mystery off with The Secret of the Old Clock, move on to The Hidden Staircase, and before you know it, you've sleuthed through the afternoon!
3. Jesse Eisenberg – The Curse Workers series by Holly Black
Jesse "Mark Zuckerberg" Eisenberg has lent his voice to the YA series The Curse Workers—and with great success at that. The story of a boy named Cassel who comes from a family of "curse workers"—that is, people who have the power to change your emotions, your memories, and your luck at the touch of a hand—White Cat marks the first book in an incredible series. Challenging? Not exactly; but they're thrilling stories all the same.

TRESemme Heat Defence Styling Spray
I use this on damp hair, before blow drying or straightening, and I haven't had to have my hair cut for 14 months because it's in such nice condition. No split ends, no nothing. Plus, it smells yummy, and lasts for quite a while as you only need to use a little bit. Perfect.
