DIY Bubble Painting
While a brush is the most common way to apply color to the canvas, many artists have explored unconventional ways to paint. Jackson Pollock famously dripped paint onto the surface, like in the museum's Number 5, 1950. In Abstract Painting (750-1) from 1991, you can see how Morris Louis poured paint onto the canvas, so that the great drips mix to create a luminous rainbow of colors.
In celebration of the Cleveland Foundation's Centennial, the museum invited young visitors to become innovative painters. Instead of brushes, kids blew bubbles to make colorful paintings. The lively activity is easy to recreate at home. All you need is food coloring, dish soap, and a jar of bubbles. A small note, though--this messy activity is better enjoyed outdoors.
To make your own bubble paintings at home, start with a small jar of bubbles. Add ten drops of food coloring and a squeeze of dish soap. Close up the bottle and give it a little shake. Your paint is ready. Tape your paper to the ground, so that it doesn't blow away. Instruct your kids to try to blow the bubbles towards the paper. They will need to be fairly close to the surface.
As your children are playing around with this media, you might ask them to notice certain things. When the bubbles rest on the surface longer, the color on the paper becomes more saturated. This is also a nice way to reinforce ideas of color mixing. Blue bubbles over yellow bubbles will have a slightly green hue.
This activity is so simple and satisfying that you might find yourself getting messy alongside the kids. Who doesn't love bubbles?

Kehinde Wiley's style of fusing contemporary racialized subjects with the portraiture of Old Masters was cemented years ago. It's nowhere more apparent than in St. John the Baptist II (2006), currently on view in Building the Contemporary Collection: Five Years of Acquisitions.
In his new show, The World Stage: Israel, on view through May 28 at Roberts & Tilton gallery in Los Angeles, the artist follows the same formula with an Israeli twist. His young African-American males are swapped out for Israeli ones. Much like his earlier work, the frame and canvas are a dialectic of contemporary youth culture and cultural inheritance. These subjects — all real people Wiley photographed in Israel — speak to a global economy and localized culture. From branded clothing to military-esque garb, they are juxtaposed with scenes of Middle Eastern desert or "orientalizing" design.
This Israel series figures into Wiley's larger The World Stage project where the artist turns his portraiture practice to countries with strong social and political footing in a contemporary global culture. Having tackled Lagos, Nigeria and Dakar, Senegal at the Studio Museum in 2008 and Brazil at Roberts & Tilton in 2009, the larger series is a foray into the world through the eyes of a U.S. subject. The work hybridizes local culture (if still plugged into a global network) through Wiley's marked practice. This is not Israel per se but Kehinde Wiley's Israel. Wiley's Old Master aesthetic feels at odds with Israeli culture, a fusion of two things which are simply not alike. The work demands us to understand our positionality in a constantly more connected world. There is indeed something uncanny about this work, something almost uncomfortable in his artistic foray into anthropology. And perhaps anthropology is the best way to think of Wiley's World Stage project: an attempt at familiarizing the unfamiliar, knowing and representing what can never be known.

TODAY is D-Day for the worst public service cuts in Southampton's history.
Angry demonstrators including youngsters, library users, parents and union members are set to converge on the Civic Centre to protest against city council plans to slash £16.5m from its budget.
Along with opposition councillors they are expected to make emotional pleas to the Labour administration during the crunch budget meeting to think again.
However, with Labour in the majority their plans are expected to be voted through.
Despite the party members' previous pledges to do all they could to stop job losses and avoid compulsory redundancies, 234 full-time equivalent positions will be lost out of the council's 4,000 staff.
Park keepers, street cleaners, librarians, social workers and care managers are also among the casualties.
Council leader Councillor Richard Williams said: "This has been the most challenging budget I have ever been involved in.
"I don't think local government has ever been here before. But my view is that people recognise this is a choice made by central Government."
Under the budget plans children's services will be hardest hit with £2.1m of cuts and 98 job losses planned.
The council's residential children's unit for traumatised eight to 12-yearolds, Our House, will close and the city's youth service, which aims to create opportunities for 11 to 25-yearolds, will also be axed.
The budget for the city's Sure Start children's centres will also be cut by £1m a year.
An unexpected cash windfall of £5.8m from the Government saw the cuts reduced to £16.5m, with the rest of the windfall kept in reserve. It meant library opening hours will not be trimmed back so far while funding was put back into some youth services to tide them over until they could run themselves independently from next year.
The city's districts were spared initial budget plans to introduce a 50p/hour rate in car parks, but business leaders have condemned the move to introduce evening city centre parking charges.
Older people are also set to be affected with a series of tax hikes.
The biggest financial blow will be the loss of the controversial ten per cent council tax discount brought in by the previous Tory administration, claimed by more than 8,000 households.
Charges for pest control and burying and cremating the dead will be hiked by five per cent.
Labour is also pushing ahead with its plans to remove bus subsides, threatening evening, Sunday and bank holiday services as well as routes to hospitals.
Tourism and heritage groups have slammed moves to shut the city's tourism information and also the archaeology unit which safeguards the city's rich past.
In their alternative budget the Liberal Democrats say they would lessen cuts to services to vulnerable people by using reserves.
Group leader Cllr Adrian Vinson says: "We can ease the pain for our most vulnerable citizens and we can safeguard the most essential community services, not just for this year, but for the next three years and beyond.
"The Labour administration's budget is ironically conservative, squirreling away money for a rainy day when we are already in the eye of the storm."

- Opposition spending proposals

text: Hamline Law honored for innovationHamline University School of Law has been named one of America's 20 "Most Innovative Law Schools" in preLaw Magazine's back to school issue. The article highlights Hamline Law as a leader in taking advantage of new technology, pointing out the incorporation of iPads for the general healthcare, healthcare compliance, and international business negotiation certificates. By leveraging the power of the iPad, Hamline Law has created a distance learning experience for certificate students that delivers more than mere convenience. "Equipping each student in our International Business Negotiation certificate program with an iPad -- and an app that we developed specifically for it -- has created a much richer real-world experience," said Hamline Law Professor Sharon Press, director of Hamline's Dispute Resolution Institute. "Each iPad is fully loaded with the class readings and gives students access to video and other Internet content making it both convenient and effective. Even more important is that Apple's chat and FaceTime features enable students to interact from anywhere in the world, which is an essential part of the course." A new proprietary iPad app has since been developed to deliver Hamline's Health Law Institute's highly regarded Health Care Compliance certificate program to professionals who, because of geography, haven't been able to access the program before. And Professor Press's International Business Negotiation program has been expanded to include a cohort of students in Hong Kong who will be interacting -- via iPad -- with their classmates on Hamline's Saint Paul, Minnesota campus. "Our goal was to produce an experience that would combine traditional face-to-face with a technology that truly enhances the ways students interact with the curriculum, their teachers and each other," Hamline Law Dean Donald M. Lewis said. "What we we've learned in these successful certificate programs will inform how we use technology to enhance other offerings, including our J.D. programs."

" Brand: Chad Valley / Type: Childrens Role Play "
~*~*~ Chad Valley BBQ Set ~*~*~
~ What is it? ~
This is a play set that replicates a BBQ it is from Chad Valley.
~ Why I bought it ~
I bought this after seeing it in a hot deal on www.hotukdeals.com. Rather than the usual £16.99 price tag it was down to just £4.24 and I knew my five year old would appreciate being able to copy his dad in the garden.
He already has his own little tool for when he wants to help out in the garden but of course he could never help out with the BBQ due to the sheer dangerousness of it so when I saw this on Hotukdeals I quickly reserved one for my local Argos store. Had I not seen the deal I probably would never have actively looked for this but I am glad I found it as my son was really chuffed with it.
~ Price & Availability ~
This has a usual price of £16.99 and is available from Argos stores or online at www.argos.co.uk. I haven't seen it available anywhere else new, but there may be some on second hand sites like gumtree, ebay etc.
~ Chad Valley BBQ Set ~
In the box you get a total of 20 pieces and this includes the BBQ itself. It is coloured in nice bright yet unisex colours and is very bright and attractive. The BBQ when not in use all packs into one easy to carry case, not a case as such but the both sides of the BBQ close together to form a nice easy to carry case!
When open you can pop open the four legs so that it stands off the ground.
In the set you get a good range of food icluding sausages, pinapple, corn, chicken and burgers, you get a pretend lighter, skewers, tongs and sauces as well as plates and knives and forks.
At the front of the BBQ is an on/off switch as well as two knobs.
When on the grills light up with the red coals and you can hear the sizzling sounds of the food cooking!
However even when it isn't turned on it is still as much fun!
Size H45, W32.5, D27cm.
This requires 3 AA batteries which are not included.
~ My Thoughts ~
Since buying this my son has used it quite a lot, more so inside than out due to our typical wet British weather. Using it inside hasn't detracted from the fun for my little boy though who kneels in front of the BBQ saying things such as 'Don't burn now good sausages' 'A burger you wanted yeah?' and none of the usual things his father says which are sometimes not so nice! 'Sh*t I've burnt the burgers' etc, etc.!
I wasn't sure if my son would play with this as much as he has as I thought once the novelty had worn off it would just be put to one side until we next have some BBQing weather however he really does seem to like it and it's usually kept down the side of the sofa as it's something he gets out quite often.
I am more than happy with it for the £4.24 I paid however if you are looking for a BBQ then this one is ideal, it's under £20 and is a nice size and doesn't look or feel cheap.
Thanks for reading :o) x
With barbecue season in full swing, we are enjoying family meals outside in the garden. Not to be left out, our daughter has been using her own barbecue that she received last summer for her birthday to host her own barbecues in the garden.
Made by Chad Valley and sold through Argos for around £16.99, this twenty piece barbecue comes in bright unisex colours suitable for children from the age of three years old.
We originally bought this barbecue because our daughter was intrigued by a similar design toy that she was playing with at a friend's house, and ever since it has been a hit, complimenting her toy kitchen very well.
In the box you receive the barbecue shell which also has retractable legs enabling you to play with the barbecue on the flat floor, and also up on legs which are approx 10 cm high.
Within the barbecue is a selection of food such as fruit skewers, sausages, meat etc. Also included are toy pots of sauces, a selection of knives and forks, plates and an imitation spark tool to get the barbecue going.
You will need batteries to get the lights and sound effects from the barbecue, but without batteries doesn't detract from the playing of the toy.
I find that my daughter doesn't always turn the barbecue on to play it. The grill sections light up with imitation red coals and you can hear a kind of sizzling noise as the food is cooked. I do find this noise to go on a bit too long as it doesn't appear to have a time limit attached to it and you need to turn the grill knob off to cease the noise. This is one of the only negative points to the whole toy.
Being a role play creative toy, how you play with it really is up to the child. I find that we regularly get served food. What my daughter does seem to like doing is setting everything up and using the starter spark tool to light her barbecue before cooking the food. The pieces provided are quite realistic to a modern barbecue and this is a great selling point for the toy.
Being made of plastic we were expecting the toy not to last if it was being transported inside and outside to be played with. Whilst the legs don't lock into position when it stands upright, I have found them to be sturdy regardless. If one leg isn't opened completely then the whole toy does tend to topple over.
To store the barbecue food and condiments when not playing, there is two areas inside the barbecue hood on the base that are hollowed out and removable. I don't find that we are ever able to store the food completely inside the barbecue. We have found that the play food travels to share the toy box with other toys instead. The lid does have hooks for the utensils to be stored but when you close the lid then you can hear them topple off inside.
Once closed the barbecue has a handle to enable it to be carried around and this is a great addition to the toy. Overall it appears well made, and even after plenty of love it has sustained itself well.

There's not a lot I can recall off the top of my head about 2003, save for a couple of traumatic memories. There was that awful Aaron Boone hit that ended the ALCS, and a press screening of Park Chan-Wook's "Oldboy." Both sent me home early on their respective evenings, not wanting to talk to anybody anymore.
One of the most extreme examples of "the extreme Asian cinema" craze that momentarily had American art-house audiences barfing into their popcorn bags ten years ago, "Oldboy" was an outrageous affront that's grown into something of a legend over the ensuing decade. Adapted from a Japanese comic, it served as "The Empire Strikes Back" of Park's unofficial "vengeance trilogy," meting out punishment to both characters and viewers with such sick, sadistic precision that it's the kind of movie you show to your friends when you're mad at them. I understand that it's brilliant but I still never want to see it again.
So I honestly don't understand why anybody would want to try and remake "Oldboy." But I guess every foreign language movie that attains even a modest level of success must be eventually be re-shot in English for folks who don't want to be bothered reading subtitles. The most delicious story floating around Hollywood development circles over the past few years was that Steven Spielberg was going to remake it with Will Smith in the lead role. Cooler heads must have prevailed, because we eventually ended up with Spike Lee and Josh Brolin instead. (Let it be recorded that this is the first and last time in history that Spike Lee and Josh Brolin have ever been referred to as "cooler heads.")
A brief summary: Brolin stars as Joe Doucette, a loutish, miserable alcoholic advertising executive who thinks nothing of skipping his three-year-old daughter's birthday party "because she's not going to remember it anyway." Joe's a dirtbag and a creep, until one morning after a particularly nasty bender he's framed for the rape and murder of his ex-wife and wakes up in a private prison cell that's been (very badly) disguised as a motel room. Joe's trapped there for twenty years.
And then one day he is released. Dropped into a public park with a fistful of cash and one of them newfangled iPhones, Joe's told by his anonymous jailer that he has one assignment: come back in a few days explaining who I am and why I did this to you. If you don't, your daughter will die.
Brolin goes to some seriously scary places here, devolving over the years into a grunting caveman while honing his flabby drunkard body into a leonine killing machine. He comes out as more shark than human, in his first few minutes of freedom thoughtlessly crippling an entire high school football team in what this twisted universe considers a throwaway gag.
Yeah, it's mean, ugly and super-heroically violent. So I guess it's still "Oldboy," and a peculiar movie for Spike Lee.
The most stubbornly (sometimes infuriatingly) idiosyncratic filmmaker we've got right now, Spike can seemingly turn any script into "A Spike Lee Joint." Indeed, the great triumph of his 2006 "Inside Man" was in the ways Spike took a bank-robber potboiler originally written for Ron Howard and infused it with all sorts of loopy, multi-cultural asides and quintessential New York City moments.
You'll find none of that here. "Oldboy" was shot in New Orleans but everybody speaks NYC street addresses, and it's the first Spike Lee joint without a particular sense of place. Hell, it's not even a "joint" anymore – billed in the credits for the first time as "a Spike Lee film."
He's a director-for-hire, and he happens to be very good at it. Lee's been stuck in a rut, feature-wise ever since "Inside Man" (although it's worth noting that his documentary work has remained quite stellar.) "Miracle At St. Anna" and "Red Hook Summer" were well-meaning disasters, and would be the worst two movies of his career if I could only ever manage to forget that "She Hate Me" was a thing that actually happened.
"Oldboy" is Spike Lee sticking to a script and letting his muscular filmmaking chops speak for themselves. It has been put together with a bristling visual intelligence, and when Brolin goes Hammer Time on dozens of faceless baddies, Spike seems enthralled with the chance to finally direct a balls-to-the-wall action sequence. Who ever knew Mookie was such a chop-socky buff?
There's an odd collision of tone between the stark emotional realism of Brolin's low-down growling (alongside predictably fine work from Elizabeth Olsen as his recovering-junkie savior) squared off against all these over-the-top, cartoon character actors. Samuel L. Jackson, a one-time member of Spike's stock company who has been sadly missing ever since a post-"Jungle Fever" falling-out, triumphantly returns to the fold now sporting a mohawk and invoking the divine with a twelve-letter invective phrase that ranks among the very best of Samuel L. Jackson's long and storied history of twelve-letter invective phrases in movies.
Mark Protosevich's screenplay irons out some of the original film's weirder flourishes. (There's no hypnosis this time around, guys.) It's a tighter, leaner movie but in the end it still feels like an assignment. It's a vicious, nasty little number executed beautifully and this "Oldboy" is probably as good as it can possibly be, missing the shock of the new. I liked this movie fine but I'll get back to you when I figure out a reason why it exists.

That has to change," Rafal Sadowski, the trial judge in the northern town of Torun, wrote in his ruling, PAP said.Neighbours had reportedly seen the man inflict regular beatings on his wife's three-year-old mongrel.Days after having hurled the animal from the second floor of a building, he was spotted drunkenly kicking it and banging it against a wall.Neighbours later found the dog's body in a waste bin and called police.

Yahoo! stuns investors
Soaring profits boost Internet stocks
The Internet directory Yahoo! has posted impressive second-quarter earnings well above analysts estimates.
Market observers had expected an operating income of around 9 cents per share, but Yahoo!'s profit was $8.1m or 15 cents per share. Last year the company had made a $300,000 loss in the same period.
The result comes as a boost to Internet stocks, which have already climbed to dizzying hights during the past weeks. Only on Wednesday did investors have second thoughts and massively dumped shares in this sector as they feared that their earnings expectations could be misplaced.
They have been proved wrong, at least with regards to Yahoo!, but the result won't see investors getting rich yet.
Yahoo! still has to come to terms with the costs of buying the electronic commerce software company Viaweb Inc. This acquisition cost $44.1m, and this charge translates Yahoo!'s profit into a second-quarter net loss of $36m, or 81 cents per share.
At the same time, the company announced a 2 for 1 stock split.
Nonetheless, the results can be seen as a boost for the fledgeling internet industry. During the past year, Yahoo! shares have tripled, reflecting the Internet directory's pre-eminence among the Web's search engines.

Hello. My wife operated a business that had to close its doors. I have no connection to her business. My wife still owes the IRS almost 40 thousand dollars. The IRS has threatened my wife with a lean on our home. Since I do not have any responsibility to her failed business, how can the IRS put a lean on my home since we both are co owners of our home? Thank You.
2 Answers from Attorneys
The IRS may take a lien or levy against anything that your wife has title to, including jointly owned property. However, there may be options for you to challenge the lien or notice of levy when it is filed. Please let me know if I can assist.
The IRS may place a lien on your wife's interest in your jointly titled home, but in today's climate, it is unlikely IRS will enforce its lien by seizing and selling the house to satisfy that lien interest. However, any prospective efforts to refinance are going to be made difficult to impossible by the filing of a lien, and if you need to do that it's a race to see if you renegotiate your deal before IRS files the lien.
IRS will work with your wife for a repayment plan, within confined limits your wife has options. If you or she can borrow the funds to pay IRS, obviously it's better to be making payments to a private creditor than to suffer being indebted to the federal government.
Feel free to call me if you wish to discuss how to move forward.

Police Officer Christina Dias has returned to Redding to finish her training after graduating from the New Haven Police Academy on Dec. 17. She was hired as the 16th police officer at the Redding Police Department, to replace Officer Brian Jones, who retired.
Growing up in a small Connecticut town similar to Redding, Officer Dias said she knew she wanted to work for the Redding Police Department for various reasons.
"I knew it would be an amazing experience to work for a smaller department in which you are able to form a relationship with everyone you work with," she said.
In large departments it is more difficult to have a relationship with everyone because of the size, she said.
"I believe this is an essential component to have in this type of environment," said Officer Dias. "Everyone at the Redding Police Department is remarkable and it is incredible to work with such dedicated and amiable individuals."
She also likes the idea that with a smaller department, she can see a case through from beginning to end.
"This was important to me because one of the main reasons I wanted to become a police officer was to help people. This not only allows me to help people initially by responding on scene but also working with them every step of the way and resolving the issue," said Officer Dias.
While earning her bachelor's degree at St. Joseph's College, where she majored in mathematics with a concentration on computer science and criminal justice, Officer Dias interned with the Naugatuck and Waterbury police departments.
"I always knew I wanted a career in law enforcement, but it was not until I completed my internship with the Naugatuck Police Department that I was certain that I wanted to become a police officer," she said.
From March to July 2011, Officer Dias did 269 hours of interning.
"I saw what it was like to go on different calls and interact with the community as I rode along with various officers," she said. "The police officers there were driven and proactive. They really cared about what they were doing, and it showed in the field."
She also spent time in the detective bureau and records department, she said.
"After completing the internship, I did another one with the Waterbury Police Department, from September to December 2011," said Officer Dias. "My internship with Waterbury was different than Naugatuck due to the fact that it was purely administrative. I spent time in the forensic lab, records and dispatch."
What drew Officer Dias to a job in law enforcement is the ability to be out in the community making a difference.
"As a police officer you are not behind a desk. You're out there every day making a difference in the community," she said. "In my opinion, this is one of the most important jobs and I am so privileged and delighted that I have been given the opportunity to work for the Redding Police Department."
While at the police academy, Officer Dias said, she was challenged physically, emotionally and intellectually. "It was something that I will never forget," she said.
"Although it was a difficult six and a half months, I learned a tremendous amount. The staff is so dedicated to teaching the recruits. It is apparent they truly care what we retain in order to become exceptional police officers and come home safe at the end of each day."

Uttarakhand forest officials rescued 39 smuggled tortoises and arrested four smugglers in Nainital. Acting on a tip off, the forest officials on Saturday carried on a raid and arrested two smugglers, who had kept 37 live tortoises hidden in water tubs and jute bags. Officials also recovered two more tortoises from two men, who kept it inside a gunny bag for sale, stated ANI. "We got information that in nearby market tortoises are being sold. Acting on the information, we found that two people were selling the tortoises while two others were buying it. We rescued 37 live tortoises from them," said Jagdish Pant, Section Officer, East Forest Division, Terai."Some of the tortoises were kept in a tub and the rest were kept inside a jute bag. The other two people, the buyers, had a jute bag with them having two more tortoises," he added. India has banned the trade of tortoise under the 1972 Wildlife Protection Act, but the huge premium and lax laws are increasingly luring poachers to the trade.

United States v. Zabawa, No. 11-1519 (6th Cir. 2013)Annotate this Case
While awaiting a hearing, Zabawa made threats and behaved in an agitated way. Officer Murphy decided to handcuff Zabawa to prevent him from disarming an officer. Before he could do so, Zabawa lunged at Murphy and started punching him. Murphy blocked the attack, and got Zabawa onto the floor by elbowing, kneeing, and headbutting him. After a struggle, Murphy handcuffed Zabawa with the help of other officers. During the fight, Murphy suffered a cut over his eye that required stitches. Murphy testified that he did not know whether the cut happened when he headbutted Zabawa or when Zabawa punched him. A grand jury indicted Zabawa for assaulting and "inflicting bodily injury" on a federal officer, 18 U.S.C. 111(a)(1) and (b). Zabawa's trial did not take place for more than five and a half years. After Zabawa was found competent to stand trial, the court denied a motion to dismiss based on the delay. Zabawa was convicted and sentenced to 222 months' imprisonment. The Sixth Circuit reversed, reasoning that "inflict" is a narrower term than "cause" and that Murphy admitted that the injury might have resulted from his application of force to Zabawa, rather than from force Zabawa applied to him.

Van Jones bursts Trump fan's bubble: Hillary's doing better with blacks than Obama
Political analyst Van Jones burst the hopes and dreams of a Trump booster Tuesday night on CNN who claimed the GOP presidential nominee is making inroads with black voters after his visit to a Detroit church over the weekend.
Speaking with host Anderson Cooper, Trump advocate Paris Dennard said he saw a groundswell for Trump reaching the heights of 8 percent with African-Americans in one poll.
"There are a lot of cracks with the Democrats and especially millennial African-Americans," Dennard remarked. "They don't trust Secretary Clinton, and so when you see the CNN poll showing that Mr. Trump is leading across the board as it relates to enthusiasm, when it relates to honesty and trustworthiness –" he continued before he was cut off by Cooper who gave Jones a chance to respond.
"Listen, all this stuff sounds good when you say it, Paris," Jones began. "But the reality is that Hillary Clinton has done an extraordinary job, African-American support for her equals and sometime surpasses Obama himself, which we thought was impossible."
As Dennard shook his head, Jones stated, "He may be improving, but he's improving from such a low place that you're getting excited about him almost catching up to Romney."

The Senators emphasized that the findings and conclusions of this review be made public to "help promote greater oversight, transparency, and public accountability." The requested report would address activities conducted under Section 215 of the USA PATRIOT Act and Section 702 of the FISA, which includes the collection of the telephone call records of hundreds of millions of Americans. Specifically, the report would review the use and implementation of 215 and 702, the applicable minimization procedures, any improper use of the authorities, and examine the effectiveness over the 2010-2013 period. EPIC is currently challenging the order for bulk collection of domestic call records in its Petition for Writ of Mandamus in the U.S. Supreme Court.

Spring Fling Flyer (PDF)
The Colorado House Rabbit Society is having its fun Spring Fling event again on May 19th in Broomfield, Colorado. This is a fun bunny- and bunny-person-only annual event that takes place at their Broomfield shelter. I have gone to the event three times before, and it's a blast for humans and their rabbity friends! The flyer doesn't say much about the event itself, so here's a quick list of what to expect:
Bunny-related merchandise, including safe toys for the bunnies. All proceeds go towards the CO-HRS's rescue efforts
Games and contests for rabbits and their owners
Silent auctions for the humans (I bought a beautiful handmade rabbit plate and some nice jewelry at last year's event)
Wonderful "bunny people", many of whom are respected rabbit vets and shelter volunteers
The event is free and free parking is available outside the shelter. Attendees are encouraged to bring their own pet rabbits (please bring your own cages). I hope to see some BBers there this year!

DESCRIBE a favorite scene or event from your childhood memory.
Childhood was full of good memories, but I can only rarely actually recall them. A recurring scene was playing in the back yard of my parents' house and the neighboring few yards. There was a row of forsythia bushes along the back border which are the most iconic things in my childhood memory. In springtime they'd bloom bright yellow which is my favorite color to this day. The overgrowth was just enough that we could get three or four friends huddled in a little section that we'd slowly hallowed out over the years for some relative privacy. This factored heavily into my very first kiss with a girl whose name I ashamedly cannot remember. We dug holes until we reached some buried cables, hid things we didn't want our parents to find (including a playgirl magazine that was back there for at least a week so's everyone had a chance to get disgusted by it), and generally used it as a base of operations for whatever it was we were getting into for the summer.
Step #3
TEACH US one or two of your favorite 4-star vocabulary words.
I'm not sure I really have a four star vocabulary! One of my favorite words of late is "cromulent" which suffers mainly from not being a widely accepted word at all, and does not so far as I can tell have a published definition. It was introduced during an episode of "The Simpsons" in the following exchange:
Mrs. Krabappel: I never heard the word embiggen until I moved to Springfield.
Ms. Hoover: I don't know why. It's a perfectly cromulent word.
It's use is generally to imbue some legitimacy to something which otherwise doesn't have any.
I...I... I don't know if I have another. My favorite word is "porridge"... does that count? If anyone doesn't know what it means, we can have a little chat separately.
Step #4
- The last book I finished reading was Eric by Terry Pratchett.
- I gave it 3.5 stars (out of 5).
- One word to describe it is Faustian.
QUESTION: What's the strangest thing about women, in comparison to men?
Wow, that's a dangerous question.
Women, as a group, seem to have trouble agreeing on a definition of Feminism (see "Sarah Palin"). Men, as a group, will agree with almost any definition of Feminism, just to avoid having to talk about it.
Step #6
QUESTION: What's one of your favorite places to travel but you'd never live there?
The question seems to be phrased to imply places we've been... I'd love to work on the south pole for a while, but I can't really call it a favorite place to travel, having never done so. In short, tho, the answer is "Anywhere that isn't in the U.S.". I've only been off continent once, through Europe, and I loved every aspect of it, but I just don't think any parts of it could be "home". There's something unique about U.S. Americans. We're kind of strange, actually -- imaginative due mainly to our laziness, I think, which is a combination you just don't find anywhere else. Inside the U.S., I've lived all over the place and the only negative thing I have to say about anywhere is that some of them are too cold for too long. Since I'm currently living in one of those places, I can't say that it's a criteria for never-living-there, which leaves the whole country as my oyster.
Step #7
GIVE US THE SCOOP. Tell us something about yourself that's exclusive to In Search of Giants (ie, has never been publicized in print or podcast interviews.)
Wow, you want a scoop? 'bout me? I might be scoopless... the whole method of communicating with the world has changed so much that I can't think of anything interesting that hasn't been broadcast on my blog or facebook or, well, SOMEwhere.
I can tell you that I've been infested with June Bugs again lately, and I'm terribly squeamish about that. There was one in my piano yesterday and I dang near had to leave the house so I didn't have to hear it buzzing. I'll have to go hunting for it's body a few weeks from now (long enough to make sure it's not going to have some last minute spasm and scare the bejeezus out of me) and find a nice long tacky stick to pull it out with, wherever it lies.
Thanks, Sir Chipley. Now get your ass out here to visit all the little ones!!

Disable alert for Zine Al-Abidine Ben Ali
The mother of the Tunisian peddler whose suicide sparked the Arab Spring has been arrested after getting into a scuffle with a court official, a family member said on Friday.
Salem Bouazizi, brother of Mohammed Bouazizi whose death made him a symbol for the frustrations of many, said their mother had been held for allegedly attacking the official in Sidi Bouzid, the central town where Tunisia's revolution began.
Bouazizi said his mother had returned an insult after the court employee insulted her, pushed her and slammed a door in her face, refusing to assist his mother's application for documents.
"This is an insult to the mother of a martyr," he said, demanding his mother Manoubia's immediate release.
There was no immediate comment from the justice ministry.
Mohammed Bouazizi set himself on fire on a street on December 17, 2010, infuriated after a policewoman confiscated his goods, and died the following month.
His act sparked a wave of protests that spread through Tunisia's neglected hinterlands to the capital, forcing veteran dictator Zine al-Abidine Ben Ali to flee on January 14, 2011.
Ben Ali's departure sent shockwaves around the Arab world and sparked uprisings that ultimately overthrew leaders in Egypt and Libya last year.
The families of those killed in the Tunisian revolution have complained that the government has done little compensate them or to improve the position of the country's worst off.
What do you think about Mrs. Bouazizi's arrest? Has nothing changed since the revolution? Tell us your thoughts below.

REVIEW: Mrs. Meyer's isn't so sweet
Do you want your entire home to reek of gasoline-coated flowers? Then Mrs. Meyer's aroma-therapeutic, earth-friendly multi-surface everyday cleaner is the product for you.
While this product comes in several supposedly nose-friendly scents, I purchased the lavender-scented bottle solely because it's a smell I like.
The product is marketed as "aroma-therapeutic," but one squirt of the purple liquid filled the room not with the calming scent of lavender, but with lavender's crazy red-headed cousin with a criminal record and a drug problem.
Seriously, I'd recommend a gas mask.
Cleaning various surfaces throughout my apartment proved an easy task for Mrs. Meyer's; my counters sparkled, my windowsills gleamed and my bathroom was nearly spotless. The problem was that even though everything felt and looked clean, it reeked of chemical flora and made me feel like I needed to clean again just to get rid of the smell.
On top of the fumes, the pungent spray leaves streaks on glass and isn't tough enough to tackle much more than the occasional spill or layer of dust on that coffee table where you keep those books you always tell people you're going to read. I still had to break out the bleach for most surfaces in my bathroom.
I'd recommend the product to people with nasal congestion, as I'm sure it would clear that sinus pressure right up. I'm going to stick to good old-fashioned Windex and Formula 409.

The guts and glory of Matchy Matchy will come next week. I promise.
Before I show you the insides and outsides of her (Matchy Matchy), I wanted to give you some tips I learned when I spontaneously decided to bead the god damn thing (sorry god – please forgive my language).
Matchy Matchy began a week after I debuted my me-made dress at my friend's wedding in April. The project was intended to be simple project but turned out to be anything but. I chose a simple silhouette so that I could make a statement with the fabric.
The fabric I had in mind from the beginning was tweed. A loose woven, tweed not only has a tactile quality that is perfect for fall, winter, spring, or summer but it has a history rooted in one of my favorite time periods – the 1950s. Even though the patterns the threads create are intricate, the fabric is associated with a simple time in American life. So when I spotted vintage, yellow, tweed fabric with lurex threads on Etsy one night, I caved instantly and purchased four yards. It wasn't a bad purchase in the sense that I spent too much money but it was a bad purchase in the sense that I did not research the fabric beforehand. When that portion of the project came around, the research portion, I quickly learned I'd be in for it. Turns out tweed needs lots and lots of TLC and unfortunately T-Boz, Left Eye and Chili couldn't wiggle me out of the hole I dug for myself.
I continued on and did it all! I interfaced, quilted, hand basted, etc. When the project was coming to its final stages, I was digging the way everything was turning out that I decided to bead the front neck. Yeh, that's right, bead. Had I ever beaded before? Nope. Was I going to learn real fast. Yes. So I roamed the library of a local that has a fashion design program (I snuck in) for textbooks that had tips on beading. I found lots of them but below are the ones that I used or thought were noteworthy. The best tips were… the act of beading shrinks fabric and beading should start from the center and move outward. The first tip – the act of beading shrinks fabric – was especially important the neck width on Matchy Match was already small and even though she had a slit opening at center back, I would want the neck width to get any smaller. The second tip – beading should start from the center and move outwards – was also just as important because, well, I never would have thought about it. I always work from right to left or left to right, never from center outwards. This tip is also especially important because I could use this elsewhere. Many times, I have trouble sewing something straight, and example being a trim on an edge. Instead of applying the trim from one end to the other, I could apply it from the center outwards. It would take more steps but in the end, I would save time from having to unstitch and restitch the trim in order to apply it straight.

I wish I knew what drove generally normal, sane people into thinking that acting like a spoilt brat would get them anywhere in a store. I've seriously had stuff like: 1. The lady who dumps her stuff all over the counter, says she's ready, wanders off while I'm ringing her up, and then slowly sashays (I kid you not, it was like a slo-mo version of the catwalk models do) back up to the register, sniffs and tells me to hurry up because she's in a hurry. Wut? 2. People who come into the store intending to buy something… but purposefully leave their wallets/purses in the store. Wut? 3. Let their children grab shit and toss it everywhere. Lady, do you want me to come to your house and knock over your cheap living room furniture out the window? No? Stop letting your kids do the same thing in the school aisle. 4. STOP TELLING ME TO BE CHEERFUL OH MY GOD FOR ALL YOU KNOW MY DOG JUST DIED. No, seriously, and it's 200x worse during the holidays because my feet hurt, people just literally hurl merchandise all over the place, and no one wants to discipline little Timmy and tell him to stop screaming in the store. It's like no one realises that while most people might deal, on average, with one cashier a day, a cashier (or waiter, or clerk, etc) deals with potentially hundreds of customers every day. It's tiring.

Response to How Should A Gamer Girl Be?:
I think something the writer really didn't consider is that a lot of the backlash against the 'Gamer Gurl' image is coming from other women. And no, it's not because they hate women. Or they want to be special. Or crap like that. It's because a lot of us (yes, including me) went through years of dealing with flak about being gamers, and then you have this wave of women who come in licking controllers, spamming YOLO, and now when we try to hop onto multiplayer, we're dealing with more idiots who now have fuel for the fire. When you're like me and spent years getting harassed in arcades and on multiplayer just for the 'crime' of having female bits, and then you hop onto an MMO and watch people act flirty and crap to try to get help or gain some sort of imaginary position in a game, it's a little infuriating because we spent a lot of time overcoming this 'teehee I'm so special because I'm a GURL' and now they're coming in droves? Please. This isn't about owning a pink DS or having a Hello Kitty controller. No one cares about that for more than a minute.

Our standard vinyl seat covers are the perfect replacement for torn and aged original PIAGGIO covers. They can be easily attached by being pulled over the original item and firmly affixed using the velcro straps. For a more visually pleasing and professional job the original damaged cover should first be completely removed and replaced by the new cover. It is then simply stapled into position onto the seats frame for a perfect fit.
SIP–TIP: To extend the service life of your seat unit it should be regularly cleaned using a suitable care product such as the vinyl and leather cleaner made by SONAX (part no. 14222000) For optimal wet weather protection the seat covers originally available with the Vespa LX models to be pulled over the seat can also be ordered (part no.

"We've had numerous complaints, so we've decided to try this for a couple of months and see what happens," said Councilman Gary Roesch.
The board is hoping the faster speeds will alleviate problems experienced by users without having to add additional lines.
Also Monday night, the Town Board:
• Approved a $113,000 drainage project that would reconstruct three drainage systems to address draining problems on Elmwood, Fix and East Park roads.
• Approved a site plan for a proposed motorcycle and all-terrain vehicle sales and service business at 1979 Grand Island Blvd.
