Thread: If you loved the name...

I think the name itself is fine. But with your last name being Hind, that's just...no. I'm sorry. It's just begging for some teasing. I'm sure you'll find another name!

I think Aspen is one of those love it or hate it names. If you love it, then I would just use it. I don't think of ass when I hear it. I think it's fine with the last name as well.

I think it's pretty bad. And when said together, it sounds like "Asp in hind-" not a very pretty image!
April 25th, 2013 09:08 PM #12
Yep, it would concern me. Aspen alone makes me think of as*, but both names together are pretty bad.

The old man sits in his chair by the door
His dog lies beside him curled up on the floor
Ever since that day when the man lost his wife
that dog had, to him, been the whole of his life
With his constant companion through all those long days
he'd sit in the sun enjoying its rays
It seemed like for hours the old man had dozed
A faint smile on his face and his eyes tightly closed
The dog licks his hand and emits a faint whine
and looks up at his face as if for a sign
but the man doesn't move, just continues to smile
so the dog lays back down on the floor for a while
The dog gets its ball, lays it down at his feet
but the man takes no notice, just stays still in his seat
He nudges the ball as if he were saying
"What's wrong with you, why aren't you playing"
Then, as if in acceptance, the dog quietly sighs
and looks up one last time with adoring eyes
The dog keeps his vigil through the night 'til next day
ever since, that sad morning, when the man passed away

I, a Red Skin dog, as some may delight to call me,
I have heard the tales of horror, from my dark skinned foes.
I have heard the tales of terror, from others who became my friends.
And I have walked with a dark skinned woman of their tribe.
We walked in the beauty of her courage, together. Tearless.
Tearless we both were as she spoke, for tears, only gods could cry for her.
I am a Red Skin dog.
And yet we walked together and we talked – together, fearless,
I and this swaying ebony sapling, sprung from the roots of my foes tribe.
We talked of the pitiless reality of that life she left behind, of that time
That she has left, far, far behind, like a useless scar
That has toughened over. And made her stronger.
I learned from this daughter of my foes
That true courage is never fearless, but always stronger. Victorious,
Stronger she was by far, to this Red Skin dog
Than the thousand sons who died, in her honor. So they say. Ridiculous,
But I have heard the balance of their sins.
And for all the tales I have heard from those angry young men, and their vengeful fathers
Her horror was a thousand times more sinister. A thousand times more callous.
Horror took up residence in her home but never in her heart.
But for others, I cannot speak.
"…splinters and bursting fragments…in my mind
Ai! Tearing! Memory of tearing flesh, swallowing tears and mucus, blood and bile
…bruising and ripping garments…off my body
…filthy, familiar hands tearing at my dress…
…my legs split and broken like a wild pig slaughter, my screams smashed from my lips,
With the butt of a rifle, just used to kill a Red Skin dog…
Aieee! Clean this floor mama, mop up this spew!
It cannot be mine!
This child is not mine!
It is not mine! It is the devils own creation born in hell fire!
Born in my death!
Aieee! I am dead, I cannot be alive.
I am dead and the Red Skin dogs have eaten my corpse.
Those spirits in their wingless chariot flew over the land and sea, to rescue me?
Rescue me from that black devil who said he was like Jesus to me.
I thought you were my uncle-brother…
Who else could have found us here?
Hidden away from the Red Skins and their Wingless Angels.
Only you my uncle-brother
Only you could have found us
Only you could have killed us.
And now the progeny of your evil deed suckles at my breasts
As I lie dead in the home of those Red Skin dogs you fought."

Bob had been a lonely man ever since
His wife of fifty years had passed.
"Lord, let me join her." he would pray.
"Let this day be my last."
Each day, he went to the cemetery,
Just a short walk down the street.
After their talk, he would water her flowers
And hear passers-by whisper, "How sweet."
One gray and misty morning,
He had hoped for sunnier skies
To plant fall bloomers at her graveside;
But there, to his surprise…
Stood an old dog beside her stone;
Thin and dirty, but he struck a handsome pose.
He whined as Bob approached, as if to say,
"I could use a friend, you know."
He sat calmly as Bob planted flowers,
Carefully sniffing each one Bob put in place.
After the last one was planted, he sniffed it;
Then turned and licked Bob's face.
Bob smiled. "I had a dog when I was young…
Pal…he was a mighty good one too.
So, if you don't mind old fella,
That's what I'll call you."
Pal may have been an old dog,
But he was smart and handsome in his way;
So they made a deal, Bob would give him a meal
And a bath, if he decided to stay.
Pal loved his bath, then rolled in the grass.
He slept on a blanket in the den.
In the night, he dragged it next to Bob's bed.
He intended to be Bob's best friend.
Pal was such a good dog, housebroken too;
Never made a mess or got in trouble.
He knew about newspapers, slippers and Frisbees;
And when Bob called, he'd come on the double.
Yes, Pal gave Bob's life new purpose.
A special bond of friendship was cast.
And never again did Bob pray,
"Lord, let this day be my last."
For twelve years, the very best of friends,
Together night and day;
And so it was, until one evening,
Pal quietly passed away.
Bob held Pal in his arms and wept.
"Oh, Pal…my best friend…you saved my life."
He caressed Pal as he reminisced;
Then, sometime in the night, Bob joined his wife.
The next morning, an old woman,
Tears welling in her sad and lonely eyes,
Brought fresh flowers to her husband's grave;
But there, to her surprise….
Stood an old dog beside the stone,
Thin an dirty, but he struck a handsome pose.
He whined as she approached, as if to say,
"I could use a friend, you know."
He sat calmly as she took old flowers
And put fresh ones in their place.
He carefully sniffed the fresh ones,
Then, turned and licked her face.
She smiled through her tears.
"I had a dog when I was young...
A good one too. His name was Pal."

On Friday nights a melting pot,
descends upon the pub,
truck drivers, cockies, factory hands,
and workers from the scrub,
to mingle in the many shouts,
that see their glasses fill,
who leave before they're entertained,
by workers from the mill.
The timber boys with blackened hands,
and sawdust through their hair,
throw their cheques upon the bar,
then drink without a care,
not one of them was impolite,
the opposite in fact,
but beer became their nemesis,
and quick they would react.
So, many leave the pub at night,
with blood upon their face,
while they who nurse a swollen hand,
rest at the coppers place,
'mine host' is left with his regrets,
knows what he'd like to do,
he'd like to ban the lot of them,
but they spend money too.
As one drifts on another comes,
to pull out from the saw,
the circuit is a common one,
for those who work and war,
this Friday night's a first time here,
for one who's name is Bob,
he'd like to celebrate with us,
his first week on the job.
"Whose is the dog outside?" was heard,
Bob quickly turned his head,
"It's mine, the only friend I've got,
touch Cindy and you're dead",
there came no argument at all,
for the night was early yet,
but I thought it best I get on home,
before the 'hour of regret'.
Touch Cindy, touch Cindy,
touch Cindy and you're dead.
Touch Cindy, touch Cindy,
keeps running through my head.
It was dark and after midnight,
when I heard the siren wail,
'Hello,' I thought, 'It's on again,
who's 'gunna' need some bail',
but then a sense of distance came,
they stopped out near the hill,
not the expectation of the pub,
more likely at the mill.
I saw a glow behind the blinds,
of course there was a fire,
then more sirens stirred the air,
there must be something dire,
I'm out of bed; back in my clothes,
and driving to the mill,
there's lights of blue and lights of red,
plus further sirens still.
A pile of ash in smoke and steam,
is all that's left to see,
with haggard faces looking on,
one cried hysterically,
she's a witness to the scene,
when the caravan caught fire,
'twas then I heard that it was Bob,
who perished in that pyre.
"He was safe," she's screaming out,
"Then frantically he cried,
as he rushed back into the van,
'my mates back there inside!'
with his hand clasped to the collar...
I remember what Bob said,
when he warned us at the pub,
'Touch Cindy and you're dead'.
Touch Cindy, touch Cindy,
keeps running through my head.

Remnants of you Roxanne
Drape over my memory like a warm blanket
I can still see you there just over my shoulder
Your smiling eyes and toothy grin beaming up at me
I still feel your warmth in the rays of the sun
And I still hear your voice in the winds that blow across this land
This land... your home
Will forever feel the presence of your shadow watching over...
Watching over us all
And though I am sad to be parted from you my friend
I am reassured to know...
That now there'll be someone to watch over me wherever I go
- for Roxie, my faithful wonderful friend

His body cringed and whined in a terrible anguish,
Counted gasps of last breaths foreboding his hopeless waiting,
His master whom he longed to see before his soul will finally be freed,
Will no longer return and their memories in her mind may even fade.
It was his second time that he had been caught by stranger's fatal decoy,
The crux of the matter was her absence, so who could save him once more?
Happy were the days when he was with her…given foods, bones and toy,
On his first food poisoning, he was revived by her - such a great joy!
His halcyon days since puppyhood were wistful things to remember,
So naughty he was… poop here- pee there but he was patiently cleaned by
He closed his eyes on his baths to feel his body scrub and nail brushing,
So tidy, yet he must stay off the house while she was in the office, working.
He had encountered accidents many times as he roamed around,
By his dog's name, he was so resilient in his master's care and love;
To give back all the pet's love and compassion, he closely guarded her,
Going out at night, he didn't care the many dogs that barked to hinder.
He was a real smart dog, looked like a trained one by his master,
He sent her to the bus station, then went back to fetch her after work;
When time came that his master has to leave and work abroad,
She was forced to leave him and he was entrusted to their landlord.
Who could save him from danger and death for the second time?
As his breaths slowly drenched, his hope crumbled in a quarter dime;
No one could really replace the sympathy and care of a real master,
No one could no longer save the life of a very dear smart dog, Saver.
Giving a last kind gaze to his pseudomaster seated beside him,
As if begging, " Convey to my real master that I'll forever be her loyal friend,"
After lifting his right foreleg, he slowly laid it down back to the ground,
Finally, on to his eternal rest from all sleepless nights in guarding his house.

Who would believe your slim elegant body would win my affection,
when you gracelessly step on toes? Your soft doe skin of cream
spotted brown, floppy ears I threaten to turn into gloves as a joke.
Through many chain jangle calls for walks where you race and lunge
and bark fighting for the right to be with me, how could I turn you away?
When you almost die I am ready to give you away to death, hating the sick
green puke, you become skinnier despite the surgery until finally
one simple shot brings you back to us alive, slurping our hands and faces.
Busy days of science and humanities and government tucked up in a chair,
I forgot you, but you begged let me even eat your apple. let me sit in your lap
but you're so big now you don't fit and don't like apple. Chocolate chips cookies, though, a whole batch scarfed from the table and then you wiggle and wag tail,
snarl, your teeth clenched when I offer just one more. We all know who is guilty,
not you, your innocence, your steadfast defense, says it is our family who has forgot.
Finally, it is too late. You hurt too bad, spine enflamed, barely able to walk
or eat. Tomorrow your last day. I pick up the chain, you race happy to join me
down the row of maples losing their last autumn leaves, where my brother and I lead you plodding like an old man, stopping to breathe, and I see stars in my eyes,
saying goodbye. Goodbye to the lady of our family, the Dalmatian Duchess
who loved us best, walked beside us through our childhood days like a guardian.

My Puppy
Day one:
Haiku: always together // here puppy where are you boy // see her all alone
Always together
What went wrong?
Fighting for the pillow made of a feather
What went wrong?
Cuddled under cold weather
What went wrong?
Biting on one another
You two always belong
Playing with your brother
Barking to any song
Running around your dear mother
She felt something is wrong
Day two:
Haiku: Over his body // sad to see you went away // blood on car fender.
Today I see my pup alone
Where can you be?
I can sadly hear her moan
Where can you be?
Not stepping out of her zone
Where can you be?
Missing you, my puppy began to roam
My pup can finally see
You have left her alone
Letting out a howl, she is calling me
I ran out of my home
To see, my pup cry a tune so sadly
A pair, you left her alone
For her, I feel so badly
Now she has no one to take her bone
A bowl you to always share
A love for each other so rare
Both came with brown coat medium shaggy hair
I never knew a dog can deeply care
Who said life for a dog is fair?
Sad to know my pup knew she lost her pair.
Day three:
Haiku: Digging up a hole // my puppy smelled terrible // rest in peace, dad dig.
((I added a special 3-day haiku when my pup was missing ))

The"tail" I have to tell, starts off really sad.
My sweet doggie Murphy died and my heart, it hurt so bad.
Until one day in early spring, I got a call that made my heart sing!
There were some puppies born in Waco, the daddy -Jasper, and mommy- Juneau.
Four little boys, three little girls. But the picture of one boy, made my heart twirl!
So I waited for a week or two, to meet my little puppy-oh so new!
I named him Humphrey, such a handsome boy! He has brought laughter back and oh what a joy! He's super cute, and very smart. Many would say, he's a work of art!
He's learning new tricks, and how to potty outside. So many rules to learn and abide!
Humphrey is growing so quickly, the puppy breath will soon disappear. He will be an adult in less than a year! Every stage of his life is a blessing from above. I guess that's the true meaning of what we call "puppy love".

One cold night, deep in thought, and curled in fright,
From folklore tales aimed to scare;
My rigid poise froze to a screeching noise
Outside, a voice not like I've heard before, to leave I would not dare
"It's probably just an owl or creature of the night out there"
I muttered to myself, then pretended not to care
Oh, I recall quite vividly this icy Winter's night
With grainy sight, the sandman came to lead me to his land
The weariness I fought but eventually he caught
Pulling me quite taut to somewhere far less bland
Where I became the leader of a marvellous brass band
And down that path sandman tightly gripped me by my hand
Trumpeters and trombone players played musically in layers
Exciting each and everyone, spreading joy to all around
But my dreams were playing tricks, my mind was in a mix
The bass tuba sounded sick, not playing tuneful sounds
Instead a grating shrill, then the whining of a hound
The lightning and the rain came too, my dream then ran aground
Alone I grew more frightened and the intensity just heightened
The shrieks and shrills grew louder with an occasional thunder clap
Taking sanctuary under bed sheets, preying for melodic sound beats
Suffering this painful feat, my soul took a massive slap
Oh how I longed for it to stop and to return me to my nap
The bleakness of that night, my mind caught in a trap
Morning later broke, the ground outside was soaked
The noise had faded but there was still a haunting in my ears
A crunch, a grind, a squeak a whine
The cause I vowed to find, and to take away my fears
From the upstairs window I saw a farmer crouched in tears
And a windmill's broken sails; the mystery closure neared
Across the muddy field, I approached the man kneeled
Sobbing over what appeared to be a dead Alsatian
He'd found it just lying there, the hound, his best friend
Downed by a falling windmill piece, killing gods creation
"A slow death" the farmer said "he must have cried out for attention"
"And my mill cranks broken causing noises of a nauseating sensation"

Reminisce of Southern streets honey suckle vines, Magnolia air
strolling my Pepe down old streets , flowers wild growing everywhere ~
What was in that carriage as I walked proudly down a sidewalk ?
My poodle Pepe, a blue bonnet tied, Pepe sat up faithfully, bonnet on his head .
spectators driving by with smiles , the girl with a baby poodle was the talk ~
On a old plantation porch calling Pepe ? Pepe come home ? I patiently await .
Where was my furry lamb with silk black curls ? My puppy needed his walk .
Told by my parents after several cries many weeks straight ~
~ For they knew of my Poodles Fate ~
"Come inside , Pepe will come back ." He would not come home , Winter cold.
Parents hearing tireless cries , the truth was reveled , In a shed Pepe died.
My Mother told me what no Parent wants to share with a child of five years old ~
My Poodle had been in a shed with my brother and Dad , curiosity he always had.
A ladder had fallen on him , taking him away . Calling for Pepe the same day ...
We buried my Pepe , wrapped in blanket with his bonnet, in the back yard.
~ A cross made of branches , brick inscribed " here lies Pepe " bouquet by side. ~
I can not explain this love that left my heart broken , tireless nights I cried.

'They' tell me, now,
A husky-mix dog won't stay.
Tie 'em up, pen 'em,
Or the neighbor's complain.
So, I didn't even Look for another Cain.
But let me tell you,
My Cain dog was Husky.
Silver and grey and a
'from the toenails' growl...
But HE stayed, no chains.
Small town, Oklahoma, no leash.
Everybody knows everybody; me and Cain,
Bicycle riding, summer days.
Grandma Dugan waving,
Mr. John Long tossing out soup bones,
For Cain.
"Yonder's thet Earli and her dawg."
"Boy! Pur-D-hot! Wisht'id rain."
"Wonder whar she's going 'ta noon?"
Nap, doze, one more summer gone...
But...so was Cain.
"Hey Earlie? Thet you, girl?"
"Whar's thet big white dawg?"
"Oh yeah?" "Too bad." and "How'd he die?"
"You don't hardly seem like Earli,
Without thet white dog, Cain."
Ten long, hard years and lots of road.
But no white dog's shoulders
To share the good times...or the pain,
And...I don't hardly FEEL like Earli,
Without my white dog, Cain.

cat, death, dog, flower, nature, rain,
It rained cats and dogs
My begonia bit the dust!
Dead-drunk begonia!
They bark, they whine, they growl, they howl,
different in nature with a wonderful soul.
Very much a man's best friend,
the best they could be even with unlike gene-strand.
They bark, they whine, they growl, they howl,
proudly guarding the owner even when the weather is cold.
Resting under their feet and more like perfectly shielded,
eagerly and patiently waiting to get rewarded.
They bark, they whine, they growl, they howl,
greatly appreciating the simple food given in a bowl.
A man's best friend in every kind of way,
till the last breath they could stay.
They bark, they whine, they growl, they howl...

On a cold winter's morning
in the Wicklow mountains
a lone man stalks the land;
his hound shadows him.
He moves silently, swiftly,
approaching a clearing
where the pine forest gives way
to heather-covered hills.
Alert to movement,
he steps carefully into position.
His dog stands stock still, waiting;
its nose quivers
in the icy air.
He slips the rifle from his shoulder
moving to a tree
bare of branches.
Carefully he pulls the trigger,
the dog darts forward.
Dragging the carcass of a Sika
he walks through a forest
stripped of bark.
Trunks ooze with infection;
the reason for the cull.
He hears gunfire ahead.
'Could be poachers.'
He investigates.
Poachers are the true vermin
in this environment.
They kill for money,
no respect for the species.
Stags beheaded, bodies remain,
inexperienced hunters,
the wounded animals suffer.
An animal lover,
he lives a solitary life
at his isolated cottage.
Keeper of the deer
deep within the mountains.

Oh how it struck me so..
the dog on the side of the road..
You have all been enslaved by self gain and judgement...
Why waste time?
What is sane?
and Who's to blame?
Oh how It struck me so!
The dog on the side of the road..
Look into those eyes...you'll see that everything dies...
So sad that we only insist on the pursuits of our own...
Might as well let this world burn,
humanity will never discern....
Oh how It stuck me so...
The dog on the side of the road...

Sit by my side and lick my toes,
Or stick your nose in my lap.
There never could be time for woe
Not even time to nap.
Your tail wags fast and furious,
And you hop about with joy.
Looking up at me and smiling,
Like a kid with a new toy.
I love you like you're family,
and look forward to each day.
A love so unconditional,
There's always time to play.
Our time together may be cut short,
For life sometimes is not fair.
But you will always have my heart,
Devotion, Time, and Care.

Straggy sad dog
left all alone,
head on her paws
sleeping on stone.
Skin and bare bone,
her life undone,
eyes dimly see,
rain is to come.
Death softly cries
"Oh little one,
come here to me,
I am the sun"
Her tail wags once
her heart's last leap,
This little puppy,
slips into sleep.
Wakes in your arms
holding her dear,
A dream she had,
distant past clear.
She could be yours
She could be mine
One never knows
Until it's time.

A sensitive soul has passed today
Goodbye Teddy boy you're free to play
You gave us love of the greatest kind
Someone true and loyal is so hard to find
You brightened our lives for just four years
Yet you have left a hole that nothing will fill I fear
Your light was extinguished much too soon
To have had you round us was such a boon
Your presence brought us so much joy
To play with you our Teddy Boy
To walk with you was joy stride after stride
People said things about you that filled us with pride
The last few months you had some pain
Yet you bounced back again and again
But now your pain free and can be
That German Spitz we loved to see
So take your rest and by and by
We know our tears will surely dry
For as a dog there is none to compare
To our wonderful beautiful Teddy Bear
Written 23rd of June, after his passing in my hands atr the vets, good bless your free spirit Ted

For decades this dung fouls the air
Sabotaging our sniffs of the dew scents
The peace we know had risen against us
Standing on our toes like a prodigal Son
Calling from Afghanistan to Pakistan
Dirges for our generation
It has been long, it has been painful
And endlessly, there was one thing
Everywhere of our nooks
His calls sounds bells of hell
His quests smells like blood
Splashing it on every white tomb
Not knowing he exalts martyrs bones
They died in blood of ice
Cold and innocent
Ah, Ah, Ah! those bullets
Thanks he took the last roullette
The end of Osama
A birth of a Lion King, the reign of Obama
Dear world, Offer me a gourd of palm wine
To plead the fishes to mourn him to eternity
Till father grant him a final hearing
As I wait for his reincarnated soul.

There she stood under the midday sun,
Holding it against her ear as she spoke.
A loved one on the other line,
And a million things in her mind.
Loved ones? So they said
They left me hanging on the edge.
Irresponsibly to my fate I was abandoned,
Despite my loud cries for help.
She turned, still lost in her previous conversation;
What horrific scene had her eyes walked in.
Open jawed, cold sweat, pale in color
She stood before the body.
By no means did I mean to startle you,
I did my best to hold on until I lost my grip.
It was not my intention, I meant no harm
It was my curiosity that brought me where I am.
A 70 pounds female canine hung from the second floor,
He her honey brown fur strapped by a leather collar.
Her eyes were gone, just like her motionless body
And her swollen tongue that laid low.
In a matter of seconds, so many actions had taken effect.
The voices in her head had divided into groups.
Each taking stand for both matters on the table,
As her legs drove her away in silence.
Please don't come forward, I don't even know you.
This is no sight for a young lady like you.
How embarrassed I am.
If I could only move away.
When Camel had been brought down,
She kneeled before the creature and closed her eyes.
Even though they had never met before,
She was not going to let her soul depart alone.
I can hear your kind words
Walking with me towards the tunnel of light.
What happened had left me unease
But now your presence has given me peace.
She retrieved and marched her way
Not looking back to the past.
Red dry eyes and a cold broken heart
Became her friends for the day.

A Pug's your pal for always,
Through cloudy days or fine;
She'll lie stretched out beside you,
And curly tail untwine.
Perhaps your world's gone haywire,
And things seem far from fair;
To her it matters little,
So long as you are there.
This chubby bundle's waiting
In Failure or success,
And from her warmth of welcome,
Great wealth you can possess.
She's one of life's great treasures,
Whose value is untold,
For every Pug is minted,
From the fine and purest gold.
Dedicated to My fav pugs Mack and Sweetheart who were taken too soon

My best friend is a puppy
Who loves to be with me
He's always giving kisses
While he's sitting on my knee
I love to take him Golfing
And watch him have such fun
As walking down the fairway
He's always on the run
You get home in the evening
To see him jump for joy
His little tail a wagging
He brings to you his toy
Then life shows its true colors
It stabs you with a dart
It takes away your pride and joy
And kills your happy heart
Oh it's not right to steal you Joy
To take away your boy
And leave you all the Grief and pain
And happiness destroyed

Fangs, bloody and red
Tires, barren of tread
Fire, rising above
Heart, devoid of love
Skies, cloudy and grey
Price, too high to pay
Time, now has run out
Mind, filled now with doubt
Eyes, blinded by drinking
Brain, no longer thinking
Blood, staining the ground
Noise, then not a sound
Life, taken too soon
Warmth, gone now in June
Dead, left on the road
Man, a life taken now owed

I visited you today,
At that place where you lay.
I placed flowers and a picture of you and me at your cold headstone.
As I was leaving, the wind picked up,
Throwing my hair in my tear-filled eyes,
That soon streamed down my face,
I tried to t hold them back,
Soon gave up on that.
I am not who I used to be,
I died along time ago, when you had to pass,
With one lingering question.....
Where is the "good" in this "goodbye?"
I visited you today,
And cried, fighting the tears back.
Trying to figure what good comes from goodbye....

the father sees a neighbor
screaming with child as she runs
out the front door to shelter
he hustles his own to shelter
and turns to see other neighbors
with their two dogs come running behind
the shelter's too small to hold everyone,
the father says climb in but we can't fit the dogs
the neighbors hesitate - then pull the dogs
back to their house as father shuts shelter door
in a few seconds jets and trains and
bombs overhead shiver into steel and
time stops or stretches to infinity
as flotsam shoots through cracks
father opens shelter door sure he will
witness haunting fears he knows
and runs to the pile that was
minutes ago, the neighbors house
throwing pieces of piles aside
he digs to the small space that
two hundred and ten miles per hour
had enclosed to free friends and dogs
both men shudder at their fortunes
the father, immensely glad to not
have to bear witness and grief,
the owner, who couldn't
do that to his beloved dogs

: I heard about a new drug called Coline over this past weekend on the news. It didn't give much detail except that it's supposed to improve your memory. Has anyone else heard about it or know if it's effective against Alzheimer's?
There aren't many new articles on choline, but I've read a few articles that are anywhere from 1-5 years old and it seems that results are mixed. Some studies show marginal memory improvements in normal people and Alzheimer's sufferer's while other studies show no effect unless the pre-natal diet consisted of a lot of choline. Either way it seems the judges are still out on the issue.

TOKYO, June 23 (UPI) -- Japanese auto giant Toyota Motor Corp. officially handed the reins of the company to Akio Toyoda, the grandson of the company founder, Tuesday.
Toyoda, dubbed "the Prince" by Japanese media, took over as the company's president through official board action, CNN reported.
It has been 14 years since a family member ran the company, which foundered last year, posting its first annual loss in 70 years.
In the year ending March 31, Toyota lost $4.5 billion. To date, it has lost an additional $7.7 billion in the first quarter of the current fiscal year.
In its favor, "Toyota's current strengths are its technological improvements," said industry analyst Yoshiaki Kawano at CSM Worldwide.
"On the other hand, the company's weakness is dependence on the North American region and Japan," he added. "For getting into developing markets like China, they came in slower than Volkswagen and GM," Kawano said.

Dare I ask the obvious question? — How is this "Islamophobia?"
(Trend) — The adoption of the law criminalizing the denial of the so-called "Armenian Genocide" is a sign of Islamophobia in France, Secretary General of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu told Trend on Tuesday.
"This law contradicts three fundamental principles of democracy — equality, freedom and brotherhood. It is a sign of growing Islamophobia," Ihsanoglu said.
He called the law unacceptable, non-complying with historical facts and demonstrating double standards.
After a nearly eight-hour debate, the French Senate adopted the bill. Some 127 senators voted in favor, while 86 senators voted against on Jan.23.
MPs from the French president's Union for Popular Movement (UMP) party, which has the parliamentary majority, proposed the bill aimed at criminalising the denial of the so-called "genocide" to the legislative committee of the National Assembly in early December.

Post from Elizabeth – Why Yellow Has Always Been the Hot Flower Color in My Book – it's also the Hot Flower Color for 2010. (Take a look at the image and note how you feel after looking at it)
One of my favorite annual "chores" is planting my container garden every May. My friends make fun of me and refuse to come to the nursery with me because they've spent many an hour walking and waiting while I debate which plants will make it to my yard. Needless to say over the years this trip has become a sole expedition. My mom is the only one who will tolerate this adventure. Please note, I'm cut from the same cloth as she is, she's busy milling around trying to make her final selections, and she doesn't realize how long I'm taking!
You may wonder how on earth it could take so long to pick out flowering plants? Well, this is a completely different task than buying cut flowers, which typically last anywhere from 3-7 days. If you make a bad choice, you simply throw them out when they die and make a different choice next time. The flowering plants and shrubs you plant in your yard or containers are a commitment. I always want to make sure I love my flowering plants, as I will watch them throughout the summer grow and flourish. My backyard is my sanctuary in the spring and summer and I get great joy from being surrounded by nature, especially the "nature" I have cultivated.
Yellow has always been my canvas (fyi: it's the hot flower color for 2010). I already have yellow flowering shrubs (Potentilla, St. John's Wort and some delicate yellow flowering succulents) in my backyard beds. Each blooms at a different time in the season so I always have bright yellow sunshine lighting up my backyard. I love aimlessly gazing from the kitchen window only to have those cheery yellow blossoms catch my eye – makes me smile every time! I know I love yellow flowers and how they make me feel. There are so many great yellow flowers to choose from, here are some suggestions:
- Black-eyed Susan;
- Daisy;
- Sunflower;
- Zinnia;
- Gerbera Daisy;
- Rose;
- Marigold;
- Daylily;
- Poppy;
- Cornflower; and
- Iris.
What are some of your favorite yellow flowers?
While containers of yellow flowers provide a burst of sunshine, I also love throwing in some complementary colored flowers for a pop of color. Yellow seems to flatter every color flower, herb and vegetable I've planted it. I love the freedom you have to create when using yellow as your main color.
Here are some of my favorite yellow color combos:
- Deep purple (violet) and yellow – think how fabulous that combination is in a viola or violet;
- Blue (all shades: cornflower – indigo) and yellow – absolutely stunning;
- Orange and yellow – gives depth and richness to your "sunshine";
- Red, deep purple and yellow – one of my favorite container garden combinations;
- Yellow straight up – yellow daisies en masse (Dawn's favorite), I planted them for her in my sanctuary garden last year and will again this year, they are so cheery!
- Yellow and white – so fun and fresh; and
- Yellow and green – plant some yellow flowers in your container alongside vegetables or herbs, or with some green leafy plants.
As you can see, yellow flowers make all the flower colors of the rainbow/nature really pop.
One more reason I love yellow flowers: regardless of the size of your yard or lack of a yard, you can always find a spot to place a pot of yellow flowers (front step, window boxes, terrace, back steps) – just a little goes a long way to brightening up your space.

Don't tell them what Adidas stands for
From those time travelling, marketing genius' at Pepsi:
Oprah? Does she do a special Farsi episode or do they digitally add hajibs?
Although Tehran sponsors Hizballah, Iranians generally are not concerned about war in Lebanon. These women ride on the Tehran subway
From the Magazine | The Way Out
Parvin Heydari, an Iranian mother of two, was flipping back and forth between the nightly news and Oprah when a bulletin on an Iranian state channel caught her attention. It urged Iranians to boycott what it called "Zionist products," including those made by Pepsi, Nestlé and Calvin Klein, and warned that profits from such products "are converted into bullets piercing the chests of Lebanese and Palestinian children." As evidence, the voice-over intoned, "Pepsi stands for 'pay each penny to save Israel.'" Heydari says she changed the channel, as she has no intention of crossing Nestlé's Nesquik off her shopping list. "Lebanon has nothing to do with us," she says. "We should mind our own business and concentrate on policies that are good for our economy, and our kids." [Emphasis added.]
Oprah? Does she do a special Farsi episode or do they digitally add hajibs?

13 Cars At The Paris Motor Show That Will Shape The Auto Industry
McLarenThe 2012 Paris Motor Show opens today, and no amount of fanfare around new vehicles and concepts can convince everyone to ignore the fact that times are not good for the European car industry.
Auto sales on the continent are set to drop eight percent this year, Renault's CEO Carlos Ghosn predicted.
McLaren's brand new P1 supercar is gorgeous, but it will not, and is not meant to, fit into an industry that demands luxury combined with excellent fuel efficiency.
These 13 cars, from Ford, VW, Mitsubishi, and more, have nothing in terms of power or looks on the P1. But they are their makers' best bets for boosting sales in a shrinking market. How they do will determine what the auto industry of the future will look like.

In the calm before the storm, the people of Luton carried on unaware of what was to hit the nation in just seven weeks time.
Selina Waterworth was before Luton magistrates charged with using language contrary to bylaws. Elizabeth Peck claimed Selina had called her a 'a dirty cat' and much worse.
Selina admitted the cat slur but denied the rest. Dismissing the case the court clerk told her she had no right to call someone a dirty cat!
There was a full page report of the opening of the new Prudential Insurance building in Upper George Street.
The rural district council heard of complaints from Leagrave residents regarding smells from sewage at Leagrave Hall. Two residents said they had been made ill with the odours.
The council surveyor and medical officer told the council the site had been insoected twice and there was no cause for concern.
Frederick Bunnage and Elizabeth Phillips of Hitchin Road, Luton, were prosecuted by the NSPCC for neglect of their eight children.
The court heard the couple had got together after their respective spouses had left, but while Mrs Phillips worked hard to care for her six children, Bunnage neglected his only child and the child he had with Mrs Phillips.
Mrs Phillips' children, who had spent some time in the workhouse, were found to be clean but undernourished, but Bunnage's 14 year old son William, who worked, but had to hand all his earnings to his father, was weak and undernourished.
The NSPCC inspector described Bunnage as a drunk and lazy.
Bunnage was sentenced to one month's hard labour and the case against Mrs Phillips was dismissed.

Review for Garden State Film Festival, Asbury Park, NJ, USA
The artistic philosophy of the Garden State Film Festival is rooted in the celebration of the independent film genre and the creation of a forum where local and other independent filmmakers can exhibit their work. In addition, our event provides novice and aspiring filmmakers, actors, and others interested in a career in the film business, the opportunity to meet and network with industry professionals in an atmosphere that is conducive to learning and mentoring. See you at the movies!

[1]Research in Motion (BBRY[2]), creator of BlackBerry, isn't looking good after its annual meeting revealed lower than expected sales[3] last quarter.
The company is planning to cut more jobs, most of them being middle management. Richard Piasentin, the company's vice president for sales in the U.S was fired last month. At the moment it isn't known how many jobs will be cut, reports The Wall Street Journal.
The lack of sales is likely due to BlackBerry being unable to keep up with Apple (AAPL[4])and Android in the smartphone and tablet departments.
Many comments[5] concerning a promotional video for the BlackBerry Balance could give some insight as to why BlackBerry sales are low.
"Came to the party too late. Stick a fork in 'em, they're done," "People are still using blackberries???," "Had a blackberry but never again. Got the Iphone 5 & love it," and "Had BB done this right when the iPhone was coming into the picture it might have counted then. But come on, your finally doing what everyone else was doing YEARS ago."
BBRY stocks fell almost 4% as of noon Wednesday.

In a rare blend of scientific insight and writing as elegant as the theories it explains, Brian Greene, one of the world's leading string theorists, peels away the layers of mystery surrounding string theory to reveal a universe that consists of 11 dimensions where the fabric of space tears and repairs itself, and all matter-from the smallest quarks to the most gargantuan supernovas-is generated by the vibrations of microscopically tiny loops of energy.Green uses everything from an amusement park ride to ants on a garden hose to illustrate the beautiful yet bizarre realities that modern physics is unveiling. Dazzling in its brilliance, unprecedented in its ability to both illuminate and entertain, The Elegant Universe is a tour de force of science writing-a delightful, lucid voyage through modern physics that brings us closer than ever to understanding how the universe works.

The Ghana Trade Fair Company (GTFC) is indebted to the tune of about GH¢2 million.
The company's accounts have also been frozen owing to disputes in court over its indebtedness to both private and public organizations.
As a result, management of the company cannot settle its debts since it is unable to generate revenue.
Captain Kojo Butah (rtd), Board Chairman of GTFC, who made this known on an Accra-based radio station yesterday, said an arrangement to pay GH¢5,000 monthly from the accounts of GTFC to the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) to gradually offset its accumulated bills failed to go through because a court in Accra had issued a garnishee order on it.
In the unlikely event that the company fails to find money to pay its debts, the company stands the risk of being sold.
Captain Butah went on to explain some transactions that had culminated in the unfortunate situation.
"A payment we had to make to a company that provided shelf schemes for making our trade fairs was bought at 160,000 Euros and we didn't pay it. It started accruing interest. As at now, it's about 60,000 Euros.
They went to court to seek judgment to pay so the court upheld their petition and garnisheed our operating account."
Commenting further, the board chairman noted: "The second issue has to do with our former chief executive officer, Madam Esther Ofori who retired in 2009 but has not been paid her entitlements yet.
We owe her about $80,000. She also went to court and the court asked us to lose certain items to her. In the process, the court garnisheed our accounts."
He stated that there were other debts owed to the Ghana Revenue Authority totaling about GH¢80,000 which has been outstanding since 2003.
He said the company's financial position was affecting GTFC's operations. If the situation is not addressed immediately, it could affect both national and international events lined up by GTFC, this year.

Eily Cournoyer: Winning the cancer battle
Eily Cournoyer
Hometown: Portsmouth, R.I.
Age: 21
Major: Chemical Engineering
More children between the ages of 1 and 14 die from cancer than from any other disease. Every year, about 10,400 children are diagnosed with cancer and about 1,545 die. Eily Cournoyer wants those statistics at zero.
The University of Rhode Island chemical engineering and biology senior has spent most of her life preparing for a career in medicine. Since a childhood illness left her with a deep appreciation of medical professionals, she's been fascinated by how engineering, biology, chemistry and math can treat diseases and save lives.
"I want to tackle the world's problems and make a difference in people's lives because that's what it's all about," Cournoyer says.
The 21-year-old from Portsmouth, R.I., is well on her way. She spent the summer of 2012 interning at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, one of the world's premier institutions for researching and treating pediatric cancer. There, she researched innovative methods to treat neuroblastoma, a cancerous tumor that develops from sympathetic nerve tissue in infants and young children. The disease is relatively rare, occurring in about 1 out of 100,000 children, and often deadly.
Also rare are interns at St. Jude. The Memphis hospital received more than 700 applications for its Pediatric Oncology Education Program and accepted just 69. Cournoyer and another intern became the first St. Jude interns from the Ocean State. Administrators cautioned Cournoyer that she would build the reputation – good or bad – for the University of Rhode Island and even the state.
Fortunately, she shined. Dr. Kevin Freeman, her lab director and mentor, said he immediately saw a self-motivated intern capable of tackling projects independently and learning from her mistakes.
"Some people are very good at talking a good game but they're not actually good at achieving. Eily is an achiever," Freeman says. "She hit the ground running. I gave her challenges and she met them."
In the lab, Cournoyer researched methods to block the flow of glutamine to cancer cells. Without the amino acid, cancer cells will starve and die.
In a hospital competition, her paper outlining her results tied for first place among papers written by the interns in her program. A poster based on the project garnered a first place award at the 2012 American Institute of Chemical Engineers annual conference. (Read related article.)
Although Cournoyer conducted her research in a lab, the patients were never far away. Every day her walk to the lab took her past a cafeteria full of children, most undergoing treatment for cancer or HIV. Many wore masks to keep germs from their immune systems weakened by chemotherapy while others dragged IVs behind them and many had long ago lost their hair. It could serve as a depressing sight, but Cournoyer said the children displayed remarkable resilience.
"Even if they're wearing masks you can see in their eyes they are smiling," she says.
Those smiles kept her going and affirmed her pursuit of pediatric medicine as a career. She says the prospect for patient interaction motivates her, as does the opportunity to apply years of learning and research to improving a human life.
It's why she dove into engineering despite a childhood vow never to follow in her father's footsteps as an engineer. But when her high school math teacher noted that a career in biomedical engineering could serve as a precursor to medical school, Cournoyer changed her tune. She arrived at the University as a biomedical student but found a passion in chemistry and switched to chemical engineering. She later added a major in biology to strengthen her inevitable application to medical school.
As she crisscrosses labs on campus, Cournoyer has found countless synergies between engineering and the life sciences. And she's learned that engineering can provide a foundation to solve almost any challenge.
"The engineering curriculum here leads you to think in a unique way," she says. "If I'm sitting here with a unique problem, even if I have 10 textbooks, there's no answer in them. There's no answer on Google. You have to come up with the solution yourself."
So, is the solution to Cournoyer's big challenge, improving children's health, within reach?
"I have full confidence that whatever Eily decides to do she will do it very well," Freeman says. "And she will be very successful."

Yup, that buck, two bits and a dime will go a long way to reducing it! How about some of the "defense" budget, with all the cost overruns and millions wasted on planes and ships? Here's just one:
"The radar-evading F-35 fighter jet, a nearly $400-billion weapons program under development for more than a decade, is facing its worst turbulence since Washington decided to buy it in 2001 ? when it was billed as the most affordable, lethal and survivable military aircraft ever built for the U.S. and its allies.
At a time when federal spending is under a microscope, the plan to develop and build 2,443 airplanes is hundreds of billions of dollars over budget. The F-35, known as the Joint Strike Fighter, has been delayed by glitches in its onboard computer systems, cracks in structural components and troubles with its electrical system.
A two-star general serving as the military's project manager was fired over the program's never-ending problems. The Pentagon has delayed orders of the aircraft, and the fighter jet is caught in the middle of a major spending fight in Congress. What's more, the plane has roiled political debate in Canada, the Netherlands and other allies that are picking up 10% of the development costs."
As of Aug 2011 each American owes $46,156 to pay off the deficit and getting worse each year. Everything should be "on the table", including the "Bird".
It costs each American $1.35 PER YEAR to fund all PBS programs. No wonder the deficit is so high...
;-))))))) !!!
Didn't notice big bird in there until I did the puzzle......lol

CARSON CITY — The Nevada Supreme Court has directed the Legislature to answer a petition filed by Assemblyman Steven Brooks to stop his potential ouster from the lower house.
And it directed Mitchell Posin, the attorney for Brooks, to file additional documentation to back up his arguments that Brooks, despite his erratic behavior, should be seated in the Assembly.
The order was signed Wednesday by Chief Justice Kristina Pickering who gave the Legislature 11 days to respond to the suit. She said this would "facilitate this court's review."
Pickering said Posin would have five days to produce the letter from Assembly Majority Leader William Horne, D-Las Vegas, that barred Brooks from entering the building because of safety concerns for lawmakers and the public.
Posin quoted from a portion of the Horne letter in the writ but not the full document. And the chief justice told Posin to produce other documents that would help the court decide the case.
Brooks, D-North Las Vegas, filed the writ Monday asking the court to force the Assembly to seat him.
A special committee has been set up in the Assembly to decide whether Brooks should be expelled because of his troubles with the law.
Horne said earlier he had hoped to have a committee meeting next week to consider the evidence and make a recommendation to the full Assembly. Brooks would be allowed to present his side.
But that appears up in the air as the court decides to consider the petition.
Felony and misdemeanor charges were filed Monday in Las Vegas arising out of an incident in which Brooks' wife reported a domestic disturbance. Police say Brooks tried to grab the gun of an officer and threw punches at them.
He is charged with a felony count of resisting an officer with a weapon. Also misdemeanor counts accuse him of assault on an officer and battery domestic violence.
Also under investigation is whether Brooks made threats to kill Assembly Speaker Marilyn Kirkpatrick, D-North Las Vegas.
Brooks was sworn into office Feb. 2 and he maintains the Assembly doesn't have the constitutional authority to block him from serving because of these allegations.

"Perverse Incentives of Loan Supply and the Violation of Absolute Priority Rule in Japan--Credit Crunch and Excessive Additional Loan--"(in Japanese)
As for recent Japanese bank behavior, there exist two inefficacies. One is credit crunch, that is, banks hesitate to lend money to new good projects. The other is excessive additional loan to bad-performing firms. These two perverse bank behaviors look like contradictive each other. In this paper, we explain these contradictive behaviors stem from the violation of the absolute priority rule (APR) among the stakeholders in Japan. Under the legal violation of priority rule, the borrowers with inefficient projects can finance from a new junior creditor, transferring the credit value of the senior creditor to the new junior one. In such a situation, it is the best behavior for the senior creditor, i.e. bank, which tries to protect the value of his senior credit, to finance the inefficient project by himself before the junior creditor might lend money. This behavior implies inefficient excessive additional loan. Furthermore, since banks expect not to avoid such ex-post inefficiency and the accompanied loss due to the violation of APR, they are unwilling to lend to the originally efficient project in ex-ante. This results in credit crunch.

The Isthmus Vocal Ensemble
When conductor Scott MacPherson convened some of Madison's top singers in 2002, he had no way of knowing that the newly formed Isthmus Vocal Ensemble would begin one of Madison's most anticipated summer musical traditions.
Now in its 13th year, the ensemble — a professional-level choir of approximately 60 singers — brings new life to over 500 years of choral music. Amazingly, the choir continues to do it all within a brief two-week rehearsal period. This intense spirit of camaraderie produces a singular remarkable experience, year after year.
Madison-area audiences have two opportunities to hear the 2014 program. The traditional Friday night concert takes place on at 7:30 p.m. on August 1 at Christ Presbyterian Church, 944 E. Gorham St. The program repeats at 3 p.m. on Sunday, August 3, at Covenant Presbyterian Church, 326 S. Segoe Rd.
General admission tickets are $15 (adults)/$10 (students and seniors).
This year, the singers will tackle texts in Latin, French (medieval and modern), Russian, German, English and even a form of nonsense language, notated loosely in Finnish, inspired by both Scandinavian folk dance and the Muppets' Swedish Chef.
The French chanson "Mille regretz" by the 15th century composer Josquin des Prez is matched by a modern setting by Andrew Rindfleisch. The choir's renowned low basses will be on display in Russian works including Sergei Rachmaninoff's "Tebé poyém (We Hymn Thee)" and Alexander Gretchaninoff's stunning "Ñe rïdáy Meñé, Máti (Do not lament me, O Mother)." From the German tradition, Johannes Brahms' Zwei Motetten, Op. 74 (beginning with "Warum ist das Licht gegeben") joins Anton Bruckner's classic "Virga Jesse."
Other composers represented include Jaako Mäntyjärvi, Lionel Daunais, Henry Purcell, Imant Raminsh and the great spiritual arranger Moses Hogan.
The Isthmus Vocal Ensemble is led by Scott MacPherson, director of choral activities at Kent State University in Kent, Ohio. Its members include professional singers and choral directors, professors, lawyers, students and passionate advocates for the arts. The choir has performed by invitation at the North Central Conference of the American Choral Directors Association, commissioned several world premieres and released two albums.
For more information, visit isthmusvocalensemble.org or the choir's page on Facebook or call 608 234-0370.

Ask a Trooper: Readers ask about farm plates, open bottle restrictions
Question: I have a one-ton pickup that I use on my farm. It has farm plates on it. During the recent cold snap, I told my neighbor that I was thinking of hooking up my fifth-wheel camper and heading out to Arizona. He told me I would get a ticket for pulling my camper with a pickup that had farm plates on it. Is he correct?
Answer: Yes, your neighbor is correct. That would be a violation, and you would receive a ticket for that.
Being that it is an illegal use of farm plates/registration, you could also be subject to having the vehicle towed and put in impound until you put the proper registration on it.
Question: Can a person have an open bottle of alcohol in a vehicle on a frozen lake or river?
Answer: According to Minnesota State Statute 169A.35 Subd. 2, Drinking and consumption, "It is a crime for a person to drink or consume an alcoholic beverage, distilled spirit or 3.2 percent malt liquor in a motor vehicle when the vehicle is upon a street or highway."
So, as I read it, yes you can. As we always say, if you plan on drinking, be responsible and have a plan in place to use a sober ride.
If you have any questions concerning traffic-related laws or issues in Minnesota, send them to Trp. Jesse Grabow - Minnesota State Patrol at 1000 Highway 10 West, Detroit Lakes or e-mail him at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Y: THE LAST MAN Big Screen Adaptation Gets Writers
New Line Cinema's adaptation of Brian K. Vaughan's Y: The Last Man has found its writers. THR reports that Matthew Federman and Stephen Scaia are in final negotiations to write the script, based on the acclaimed Vertigo comic book. It is being produced by J.C. Spink, Chris Bender, and David Goyer, with Mason Novick exec producing.
Vaughan and Pia Guerra created the comic that "centers on Yorick, an escape artist who is the last survivor of a mysterious plague that has killed every male mammal in the world. With his pet monkey, he sets out to find what might have wiped out the world's male chromosomes."
New Line almost moved forward with a script from Carl Ellsworth, with D.J. Caruso attached as director. Federman and Scaia recently penned Sony's untitled Zorro origin project. They are known for their TV work on Charlie's Angels, Human Target, Warehouse 13, and Jericho.

Templates are a big deal. Your template can determine whether you make or lose money with BIM. A strong template can make you efficient. A poor template can win you a gold medal for Wheel Reinvention. I'm not being hyperbolic. To succeed at BIM, you need a strong template. Without that, all the other time, money, and effort you throw at BIM will be severely handicapped.
I get a lot of questions about templates. Everything from people looking for advice in developing their own to people just wanting to have someone else make one for them. One route to getting a functional template is to buy a pre-made template, and then tweak it to meet your company's needs (here's a list of templates to start from). Letting someone else do the heavy lifting with template creation isn't a bad idea. But in the long run you need to have a deep ownership of your company standards. So whether you're tweaking a template you bought or starting from scratch, there's no escaping templates.
ArchiCAD Template Basics: View Map and Layout Book
There's too much to cover in one post or one video. But if people want, I'll be happy to record more videos on template creation. In the video below I talk about some basics regarding views, layouts, and schedules in my standard template. I hope you enjoy it. Oh and there'll be a follow up post on BIM Engine this week that goes into more detail. Much like I did the Organizer video from a few weeks ago, I needed to record this video so that that forthcoming post makes sense.
A big caveat: my template is in complete disorder. Or well feels that way to me. You'll notice I have no title blocks in my layouts, some of the views aren't set up properly, etc. Ignore all that. I could either record the video while I was fixing things or wait until they are all done. Seemed better to share sooner, and none of the unfinished stuff really matters to the subject at hand. And I haven't written the post (or recorded the video) about how you should be doing titleblocks. That's coming though.
That all said… Follow Shoegnome on Facebook, Twitter, and Youtube so that way you won't miss a thing.

Conan O'Brien to Host MTV Movie Awards
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Awards, Celeb News, New Releases,
Conan O'Brien will host the 2014 MTV Movie Awards.
The presenter announced on his TBS talk show Conan last night that he will be hosting the high-profile awards ceremony on April 13 at the Nokia Theater in Los Angeles. "After eight years of intense negotiations, I am honored to announce I am hosting MTV's second most prestigious awards show," he joked.
The star has plenty of experience hosting televised ceremonies, having previously fronted the Primetime Emmy Awards in both 2002 and 2006.
Jimmy Fallon, Aziz Ansari, Russell Brand and Sarah Silverman have all hosted the MTV Movie Awards in the past, with Rebel Wilson taking charge of last year's ceremony. Conan, who is known for his self-deprecating humor, will be at hand to deliver the coveted golden popcorn statuettes to this year's winners.
The MTV Movie Awards will also feature sneak previews of the summer's most anticipated films with never-before seen footage. Nominations go live tomorrow on MovieAwards.MTV.com.

'Gravity' Scoops Up Six BAFTAs
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Columbia Pictures, Fox Searchlight, Sony, Warner Bros, Biopics, Drama, Period, Science Fiction, Thrillers, Awards, New Releases,
Gravity won big at the BAFTAs last night, taking home six awards.
The 3-D space drama directed by Alfonso Cuaron and starring George Clooney and Sandra Bullock was the biggest winner of the night at the British Academy of Film and Television Awards (BAFTAs) in London, gaining trophies for Best Director, Special Visual Effects, Cinematography, Original Music, Sound and Outstanding British Film. Accepting his award, Alfonso - who is Mexican, but has lived in England for more than ten years - said, "I don't know if I can open my mouth. I consider myself a part of the British film industry. I guess I make a good case for curbing immigration." He also praised his son, Jonas, and Sandra Bullock before dedicating the award to the "downstairs" workers who had made the film's sound and effects possible.
Although Gravity won the most trophies, historical drama 12 Years A Slave was named Best Film and its star, Chiwetel Ejiofor, took the Leading Actor award. Accepting the trophy, Chiwetel thanked director Steve McQueen, saying, "Thank you for you work, your artistry and your passion in this project ... to make it of such value, of such worth. This is yours by the way - I'm going to keep it, that's the kind of guy I am, but it's yours."

U2 Will to Perform at the Oscars
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Weinstein Company, Adventure, Animation, Biopics, Drama, Family, Music, Musicals, Period, Political, Romance, Science Fiction, Sequels, Comedy, Awards, New Releases,
U2 are set to perform at the Oscars next month.
The Irish rockers will take to the stage to perform their track "Ordinary Love," which is nominated for best Original Song, at the ceremony at the Dolby Theater in Los Angeles on March 2. Confirming the news on Wednesday, the event's producers Craig Zadan and Neil Meron said it will be the first time the band perform the song, which was written especially for the Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom soundtrack, live.
Members Bono, Larry Mullen, Adam Clayton and The Edge, who are currently in the studio working on their new album, face stiff competition in the Original Song category from Pharrell Williams for his hit "Happy" from Despicable Me 2, "Let It Go" from Frozen, and "The Moon Song" by Karen O, who is the vocalist for the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, from the movie Her.

Uma Thurman Needs a Job
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Celebrity Gossip,
Calling all casting directors (and Quentin Tarantino): Uma Thurman is looking to be cast in your next project. Or at least, that's what the Oscar-nominated actress reiterated several times while she was likely a little inebriated at the Golden Globes after party on Sunday night.
According to The New York TImes, the 43-year-old was happy to respond to reporters' questions, but she did so with the same answer:
"Ms. Thurman grudgingly vamped for the cameras, then barked over her shoulder before dashing away, 'You're a reporter — I need a job.' What was she wearing? 'I need a job.' Where was she headed? 'I need a job.'"
Clearly her stint on Smash in 2012 and her upcoming Lars Von Trier project, Nymphomaniac, aren't paying her bills these days.

Idris Elba insists he doesn't mind missing out on a Golden Globe.
The 41-year-old actor was nominated for the Best Performance By An Actor In A Motion Picture prize for his portrayal of the late South African President Nelson Mandela in biopic Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom, ultimately losing out to Matthew McConaughey, who won the gong for his portrayal of AIDS patient Ron Woodroof in Dallas Buyers Club.
Speaking at the launch of the new adidas Stan Smith trainer at The Old Truman Brewery in Shoreditch, east London, last night, he exclusively told BANG Showbiz, "It's a difficult one because we all deserve an award for our performances."
However, Idris - who was also up against Chiwetel Ejiofor, Tom Hanks and Robert Redford - did have some comfort in the fact he was accompanied by his pregnant girlfriend Naiyana Garth at the ceremony at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills, California, and the brunette beauty was positively glowing as they walked down the red carpet. "She looked amazing on the red carpet, as she does all the time!" he added.

Sandra Bullock Didn't Think That She Deserved the Oscar

Sandra Bullock didn't "feel worthy" of her Oscar.
The 49-year-old actress took home the Best Actress Academy Award in 2010 for her performance in The Blind Side, but when she admits, at the time, she didn't think her acting abilities deserved to be recognised over anyone else's.
Speaking at the premiere of her new movie Gravity at the Toronto International Film Festival, she said, "I didn't feel worthy of it when I got it, so I feel like, 'OK, I'm going to spend the rest of my life hopefully earning it, but having a really good time in the process as well.' ... I still haven't gotten around to having my moment with it yet. Maybe one day it will come. What it does do is make you realize how hard you have to work to earn it."
Remembering the night she won her Oscar, Sandra admits her mind was preoccupied with her son Louis, who she had just adopted as a baby and who was at home while she attended the glitzy ceremony in Los Angeles. The screen star - whose marriage ended in March 2010 when it was revealed her then-husband Jesse James had been cheating on her with several women - says having Louis stopped her from getting too carried away with her award win.
