The Army's Army will host a back-to-school event today from noon until 2 p.m. at Cross Creek Mall.
Children and families will have the opportunity to show their patriotism by creating American-inspired picture frames using red, white and blue craft supplies.
Families also will be able to learn more about Children of the Fallen, a mentoring program developed by the Army's Army to help children who have lost a parent or guardian in combat.
"These events allow us to meet and interact with military families and potential Army's Army volunteers," Janine West, executive director of The Army's Army, said in a release. "Part of our job as a supporting organization for Fort Bragg communities is to make our brave soldiers feel welcome and these mall events are the perfect way to remind our military families that we are here to help."
The event will be in the children's play area at the north end of the mall, near the entrance to JCPenney.

A Creamery is Born!
I first began the Birth of a Creamery blog on March 24th, 2011, optimistically calling the first chapter "Four Years and 364 Days" for the 4 years of planning that had gone into our creamery plan and the "less than a year" promise I was given for how soon we could complete construction. Well March 23rd 2012 has come and gone, but with all the hoops and hick-ups we went through in the planning process we should have foreseen that construction wouldn't be without its own hurtles. Thankfully we are only a few weeks over our mid-March deadline. On Thursday May 10th Pennyroyal officially became California's newest licensed creamery!
Since "Moving Day" three weeks ago, the final equipment installations have happened. Hoses with hot water gauges, racks for color coded floor, wall, and equipment brushes, dispensers for gloves, and foaming foot sprayers have been hung on walls and installed at our entrances and exits. While not required by any set of regulations, having designated equipment and control over water temperature fall into the category of "Good Manufacturing Practices" which are promoted by regulating agencies and practiced in one form or another by most creameries, both large and small. Conveniently accessible fire extinguishers are required for fire code. Compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act requires handicapped parking and access to the building along with correct signage for our bathroom. CDFA required hand-washing signage in the bathroom (and since my crew is bilingual so are our signs). The raw cheese aging racks, stainless steel frames hung from the ceiling on casters, were completed and installed. Reverse osmosis filters were installed for the water lines to our humidifiers, and even though our well water tested free of pathogens, we also installed UV treatment and filtration on all water entering the creamery. A stainless steel cradle for hoisting our pasteurizer (to allow gravity flow of milk from the pasteurizer to the vats) was manufactured, and piping for glycol lines between the pasteurizer and our heating and cooling exchangers was completed.
Wednesday was a scramble to finish plumbing of the hand sinks, which are sensor operated and therefore hands-free, and the dairy sinks, which also have built-in temperature gauges and mixing stations like our hoses. The county building inspector came as those were being complete, and after his inspection gave us the go-ahead to work in the building. Thursday both our local dairy inspector and the head of his regional office came to test our pasteurizer, proctor pasteurizer's license exams to myself and Sarah, and do an inspection of the creamery. The pasteurizer passed, Sarah and I passed, and the creamery scored a 100 out of 100. We also received approval for our labels. A not-unreasonable-chunk-of-change-later (exam fees, licensing fee, label review fee, and the inspectors hourly fee), and we were given the go-ahead to start cheese production.
Monday the 14th was our inaugural cheesemaking day. Sixty one gallons of fresh goat and sheep milk, still warm from the animals it was milked from, was transformed into 14 wheels of Boont Corners.
Thank you to everyone who has followed the development of our creamery for the last 14 months. I hope this has given you insight into what it takes to get artisan and farmstead creameries off the ground. Our approach is not necessarily representative of everyone out there (we definitely spent more time and money than was strictly necessary, though I think to a good end), but many of the design hurdles and relationships with regulatory bodies are the same.
Visit us at www.pennyroyalfarm.com or check us out on facebook (should launch this weekend) for more information about our creamery, our farm, our cheeses and their availability.

This year's SXSW Interactive conference (held annually each March in Austin, Texas) was especially overwhelming, both in terms of sheer numbers (an estimated 24,000 uber-geeks were in attendance this year) and in terms of the topics covered. In fact, this year Launch Agency got extra coverage on the social media end of the spectrum, courtesy of New Media Specialist Alexandra Watson, who will be providing her take in a second installment of this blog series titled "SXSWi 2012 Conference 3 More Trends Impacting Advertising Agencies".
Agency News,Industry News | (0) Comments
For the third year in a row, Launch sent senior creative team members Richard Wezensky and Alex Slotkin down to Austin to attend one of the world's premier interactive conferences: South by Southwest Interactive. It was five days of inspiration, information and borderline-overwhelming intensity (especially with conference attendance having swelled by more than 30% over last year).
Naturally, high-tech gadgetry was everywhere, from the brand-new iPad 2 to hot new group messaging apps, QR codes, tweets and location-based "check-ins." At the same time, the conference covered an even broader swath of subjects, everything from Web coding and design to marketing, social media, gaming and the societal implications of technology.
Despite the plethora of seminars, panels, interviews, workshops, networking sessions and parties, a few recurring ideas seemed to come to the fore. First was the idea that brands are moving from the role of being traditional marketers to publishers. Some are creating original content, others aggregating content from third parties (and in some cases, a bit of both). By building a reputation as a go-to source for information on a specific topic of interest to consumers, brands can better establish themselves as trusted authorities and reach an increasingly marketing-averse audience.
The second big takeaway was the notion that advertising and marketing agencies need to start thinking more like software companies. They need to be less precious with their work, take less time to go from idea to market, and then make constant, iterative adjustments to their work in response to customer feedback. While selling this approach in to clients can be challenging, it helps if agencies start with smaller and less costly initiatives, and then try to grow them over time.
Finally, there was a lot of emphasis on the unique qualities and challenges of social media—specifically, how social engagement has to be an honest, one-to-one conversation with customers. Companies need to give their audience more of a say in the direction their brand will take, and work to create long-term relationships. Whether it's through Twitter, Facebook or a company blog, brands need to provide more humanity and transparency. These days, being obviously promotional is the fastest path to becoming irrelevant.
There were plenty more nuggets of wisdom, chance celebrity encounters and other fascinating discoveries at SXSW, but those are best experienced in person. Of course, the next best thing is to peruse the sizable catalog of SXSWi 2011 podcasts, videos, notes and other materials, which you'll find at sxsw.com/interactive. Also, don't miss the full Launch SXSW photo set at www.flickr.com/photos/launchagency/sets/72157626249293558/, and the Launch Twitter feed, including live tweets from the event.

While my time at Launch was brief, the amount of experience I gained was not. I was pleasantly surprised at the amount of work I was given and the amount of my copy that made it to print. Not only did I get to write to my heart's content, I also got to sit in on radio recordings, photo shoots, client presentations and, of course, fill plenty of coffee mugs (only for myself, though). Not to mention, I received great coaching from senior copywriters Kevin Byrd and Alex Slotkin.
During my first week, I may have been fooled into thinking a bathroom pass was a required hallway companion, but I also worked on my first brochure. I wrote copy for direct mail pieces, websites, a press release, blog entries, magazine and newspaper ads and even some tweets — on subjects ranging from babies to luxury automobiles. And to top it off, I have a sneaking suspicion that Launch Principal Diane Seimetz helped me land a full-time copywriting position, at Kolar in Austin.
Originally, I took the internship to further refine my writing skills, but I also learned HTML, how to work with voice talent, what type of sand to use for a beach scene, how to work with the account team and how a healthy relationship should work between agency folk and client marketing teams. Now that my time is winding down at Launch, I can say I'm glad I spent my summer here; the experience I've gained will prove invaluable.
A word to future Launch copywriting interns: if you want an internship where you'll be thrust right into the action and treated like a young professional, Launch is a great proving ground.

A new Mercedes-Benz dealership will open soon in Grapevine, Texas. To help Park Place Dealerships tout the groundbreaking, Launch Agency created invitations to the ceremonial event using some groundbreaking printing techniques.
Printed on Cromática lavender paper, the invites have the nostalgic look and feel of architectural blueprints. Art director Reuben Miller and print producer Laura Carroll worked closely with the printer, Colormark, to attain the right effect – first adding a layer of flood metallic blue ink to create the architectural "grid," then double-bumping the white type to make copywriter Alex Slotkin's copy pop off the page. The invites were sent in a white mailing tube to current Park Place customers and City of Grapevine VIPs.
Launch also created an online version of the invite using the same theme. To see it for yourself, check out the animated invite.
Despite impending thunderstorms, the May 20 event counted more than 100 guests, including the mayor of Grapevine, the head of the Grapevine Chamber of Commerce and a representative from Mercedes-Benz USA.
Park Place Motorcars Grapevine is expected to open in August of 2011 and will feature a 27,000-square-foot showroom, a service shop with 71 bays, and one of only two Park Place BodyWerks paint and body shops in DFW.

smart USA named Launch agency of record for their business-to-business advertising. This was the result of hard — and creative — work and entrepreneurial thinking for our longtime client, Park Place Dealerships.
It all started with our award-winning out-of-home and TV campaign for smart center Dallas & smart center Fort Worth. After those initiatives, Launch created a corporate fleet program for the two smart centers to further generate traffic and spur new car sales. This program drew the interest of the smart USA headquarters, which requested Launch develop a national program for the brand.
Alex Slotkin and Diane Seimetz crafted the witty, err "smart," headlines; Richard Wezensky and Brent Richison developed the clean, tasteful designs.
Here's a peek at some of the smart work thus far:
If you'd like to see more of our work, or to take a test drive, just stop by a smart center near you.

In case you missed it, the Montreal Canadiens ... a franchise for which Gary Carter never played for playing a sport which Carter never played professionally (albeit in a city that adored him), honored Montreal's favorite adopted son by wearing his name and number on all their backs during the pre-game skate. They also had a moment of silence for Kid, and even had their mascot Youppi! bring back his old Expos jersey to mark Kid's passing.The Mets, a franchise that Gary Carter did play with and brought a championship to, are "still discussing exactly how to honor Carter during the season, and was not ready to announce plans."Here's what I hope that means:"We're trying to figure out if we can invite everybody who loved Gary to a special ceremony on Opening Day so we can do this the right way and retire his number as we should have done at some point in the past nine years."Here's what I'll settle for:"We're still not ready to retire...

1. when and where did labour hit you?
It was Tuesday ng madaling araw, 12:40am, my water broke but I wasn't in labor pa. The day before puyat pa kami because my dog had a seizure at around the same time, early Monday morning naman.
2. how did you know it was really labour?
I got to the midwifery at around 1:30 because I had to pack some more last minute stuff. I wasn't into active labor yet. I was 0% effaced and not dilated yet. We started to try to induce using herbs, homeopathics and breastpump.
3. when and how did you go to the hospital?
My husband drove us to the midwifery. Around 24 hours after we arrive (early Wednesday morning), I was about 90% effaced na but only 1cm dilated and my contractions weren't strong enough to get me into active labor so the midwife advised for a hospital transfer. Fortunately, the hospital was just across from the midwifery.
4. other specifics about birth you would like to share,
like did you have anesthesia, how long was labour, anything funny happened during the mad rush, etc
When we got to the hospital (around 1:30am), they hooked me up on Pitocin na agad (pang-induce) and about 30 minutes into it, the contractions got waaayyyy stronger. I was really doubling over in pain. Then the nurses kept upping the dose every 15 minutes or so. Sobrang parang wala na ako sa sarili ko noon. I was pretty much determined to have a natural birth, meaning walang pain medications, so I didn't have any of it. Buti I had a very supportive husband plus my midwife and doula were with me sa hospital pa.
At around 7:10am, the doctor checked me and I was ready to push na. My midwife was the one who basically assisted me through it. I pushed for 25 minutes and out came an 8lb 9oz baby boy. I didn't have an episiotomy. All I had was one tear less than an inch and it took only one stitch.
I left the hospital 12 hours after because I was so uncomfortable and still anxious about my dog who had been at the doggie hospital for 3 days na. He died exactly a week after I gave birth.
Funny thing was when my baby started crowning, my midwife asked me if I wanted to touch his head and I was like.... NO!!! Haha... siguro kala nila sobrang wala akong paki. But I get squeamish easily (I didn't even watch birthing videos kasi natatakot ako) and I was afraid that if I touched my baby's head, I'll wig out and matakot ako to push.

Sivaji Ganesan's 1964 epic Karnan reached the 150 day mark in 2012 when it was re-released and this was reason enough for the people associated with the film, to rejoice.
The film's digitally enhanced version by Divya Films seems to be breaking new ground in this re- release. A function was held over the weekend, to mark the occasion by the All India Sivaji Ganesan's Fan club and the thespian's family members.
The grand event saw the presence of Sivaji's sons Ramkumar and Prabhu apart from debuting hero Vikram Prabhu, who is the thespian's grandson. MS Viswanathan, P Vasu, PB Srinivas, Y Gee Mahedran and several others were present.
Y Gee Mahendran summed it up: " Karnan can never be remade. Nobody can replace any of the actors of the 1964 classic, and it would amount to mockery if it is done."
The film is still running to packed houses in the city. An enthralling performance by UK Murali, of Sivaji's evergreen hits was a part of the evening's entertainment.

Jesse Ed Davis
Jesse Ed Davis
A full-blooded Kiowa Indian, Jesse Ed Davis was perhaps the most versatile session guitarist of the late '60s and early '70s. Whether it was blues, country or rock, Davis' tasteful guitar playing was featured on albums by such giants as Eric Clapton, Neil Diamond, John Lennon and John Lee Hooker, among others. It is Davis' weeping slide heard on Clapton's "Hello Old Friend" (from No Reason to Cry), and on both Rock n' Roll and Walls & Bridges, it is Davis who supplied the bulk of the guitar work for ex-Beatle Lennon.

March 29th (my Birthday ) is a day that I have been celebrating for nearly 30 years. Okay, I'm so lying about how long but you get my point. It's a time of year that I have always looked forward to. However, this past year that day was one of the scariest moments of my life. On March 29th, 2012, we found out that my husband, Anthony, was diagnosed with testicular cancer. Diagnosing it is not that simple though. The only real way to find out if it is indeed Cancer is to remove the affected testicle.
I'm sure it's easy to imagine how hard that must have been on my husband to go through such a loss. The blow to the ego, the uncertainty of how this will affect having more children, what types of treatment will be necessary ….. these were all the many things my husband wrestled with on a daily basis. For me, it was a matter of how to stay strong and hopeful for my husband and for our children.
Mind you that our son, 4 months old at the time, had no clue what was going on but there was this decision to be made about whether or not to tell our girl, Allie. Ultimately we decided against telling her the severity or even using the word Cancer. Since testicular cancer has such a great cure rate, we didn't see the point in causing her to fear for her father especially since Allie had lost an Aunt to Cancer and was very aware of how serious that disease can be.
As soon as we were told that he would be cured of this, I decided to put 100% faith in GOD and in the words of the doctor. Sure there was talk about how this could come back through the abdomen and how radiation would be our best approach to fight that possibility. For the both of us, we so no other option then to move forward and to look to the days when this would be behind us.
I never saw Anthony worry at all about any of it. He was more in disbelief that he had Cancer. He would say, "I can't believe I have Cancer…..in my ball!" Okay folks, we had to have some fun with this and when Anthony announced to the Facebook community that he had testicular cancer and that all would be fine……the punch lines started to roll in. Names like "Uniballer" and One ball Wonder" were just a couple of the long list of hilarity that started to poor in. The laughter was so good for the soul but the prayers for Anthony were our saving grace. You see I think it was at that time that Anthony came to grips of what lied ahead for him and the situation became real. Manageable, but emotionally real.
I thought I was handling it pretty well until one day in the shower, I was overwhelmed with doom. Thoughts of my husband ill, dying, raising my child alone, losing custody of Allie……every possible fear piled one on top of the other until the weight was too much to bear and I crumbled. I was brought back to reality when through the baby monitor I could hear the sounds of my son waking from his nap. There is no faster way to bounce back from sadness then to look into the face of your sweet baby.
No matter what you are facing in your life, know that it can be beat if and only if you have faith. It's impossible to think you will never fear, but never allow it to take center stage in your life. Never allow it to take control of your situations while you desperately try to work your way around it. CONFIDE. Talk to someone who has faced what you are up against because its nice to know that others have been where we are. For us, our faith in GOD was the light at the end of the tunnel and the journey was a bumpy road filled with numerous attempts by darker forces trying hard to turn us into a mess……We refused to surrender to anything but GOD and we put it all in his hands. Yesterday was 6 months since Anthony's diagnosus and he is Cancer free. Praise GOD!

Stop thinking about it and just buy it. It does something magical to your hair, a bit like the elasticiser. I have afro-caribbean 4a hair, this makes it lie down and behave all day every day. BUY IT!
Zoe, UK
I've only started using this and I can already see a difference, my hair feels stronger and isn't as breaking as much. I'm in the process of going back to my natural blonde after dying my hair dark for years so I need a good heat protector and leave-in treatment for my drying and straightening and I will be continuing to use this! It smells delicious too!
Lisa, Scotland
I had been looking for something to inject a bit of life into my dry, highlighted hair and saw this. I already use Philip Kingsley Shampoo, Conditioner and Elasticizer and am a huge fan of these products. I opted for the small bottle as I thought it would be a pricey mistake if I didn't like it. I need not have worried! This spray has been like magic for my hair! I get no frizz, my brush runs through easily and even my hairdresser commented how good the condition of my hair was since she saw me last. Now panicking as my little travel size bottle is starting to run out! (It's lasted about 2 months of using every other day) xx
Gemma, UK
Fantastic product....
Ann O, UK
I will never be without this product as it allows me to heat style my heavily highlighted hair

What The Pope Should Have Said
By Adam Groza
By now you have probably read that the late Senator Ted Kennedy wrote a letter to the Pope and the Pope wrote back. Kennedy is widely reported to have written the following:
"Most Holy Father, I asked President Obama to personally hand deliver this letter to you. As a man of deep faith himself, he understands how important my Roman Catholic faith is to me, and I am deeply grateful to him. I hope this letter finds you in good health. I pray that you have all of God's blessings as you lead our Church and inspire our world during these challenging times. I am writing with deep humility to ask that you pray for me as my own health declines. I was diagnosed with brain cancer more than a year ago, and, although I continue treatment, the disease is taking its toll on me. I am 77 years old and preparing for the next passage of life. I have been blessed to be a part of a wonderful family, and both of my parents, particularly my mother, kept our Catholic faith at the center of our lives. That gift of faith has sustained, nurtured and provided solace to me in the darkest hours. I know that I have been an imperfect human being, but with the help of my faith, I have tried to right my path. I want you to know, Your Holiness, that in my nearly 50 years of elective office, I have done my best to champion the rights of the poor and open doors of economic opportunity. I've worked to welcome the immigrant, fight discrimination and expand access to health care and education. I have opposed the death penalty and fought to end war. Those are the issues that have motivated me and been the focus of my work as a United States Senator. I also want you to know that even though I am ill, I am committed to do everything I can to achieve access to health care for everyone in my country. This has been the political cause of my life. I believe in a conscience protection for Catholics in the health care field and will continue to advocate for it as my colleagues in the Senate and I work to develop an overall national health policy that guarantees health care for everyone. I have always tried to be a faithful Catholic, Your Holiness, and though I have fallen short through human failings, I have never failed to believe and respect the fundamental teachings. I continue to pray for God's blessings on you and our Church and would be most thankful for your prayers for me."
The Pope's response follows:
"The Holy Father has read the letter which you entrusted to President Barack Obama, who kindly presented it to him during their recent meeting. He was saddened to know of your illness, and has asked me to assure you of his concern and his spiritual closeness. He is particularly grateful for your promise of prayers for him and for the needs of the universal Church. His Holiness prays that in the days ahead you may be sustained in faith and hope, and granted the precious grace of joyful surrender to the will of God our merciful Father. He invokes upon you the consolation and peace promised by the Risen Savior to all who share in His sufferings and trust in His promise of eternal life. Commending you and the members of your family to the loving intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary, the Holy Father cordially imparts his Apostolic Blessing as a pledge of wisdom, comfort and strength in the Lord."
My condolences to the Kennedy family: However, I cannot help but wish the Pope had written an additional paragraph:
"The Holy Father is deeply grieved, however, that in your 46 years as a senator, you consistently supported the murder of unborn children through legalized abortion. In contradiction to the infallible teaching of the Roman Catholic Church, you voted against defining an unborn fetus as a child. You voted against prohibiting minors from crossing state lines to procure an abortion. You voted against informing parents when minors procure an out-of-state abortion. You voted to increase funding for education and contraceptives, despite the Church's position against contraceptives! You voted against banning partial birth abortions. You voted against the ban on abortions at military bases. You voted to protect partial birth abortions. NARAL gave you a 100% pro-choice voting record. You could have spoken out against the horror of abortion. You could have used your position and your name to bring an end to legalized murder, especially partial birth abortion. You supported murder, Ted. Before you die, you should repent and seek the forgiveness of God, your church, and your country."

Darn, and I was hoping for a more bloated military budget. 1)The U.S. only has more than the rest of the world combined and still can't win one of these silly wars. Obviously, we need more money thrown at the military. 2)It seems to be in the best interest of Israel to keep relations as volatile as it can. I can make that pronouncement from the comfort of the U.S. 3)So Hegel believes in diplomacy. What kind of Secretary of war is that going to be? We need people like Krauthammer who have no history of military service instead of guys like Hegel who are combat veterans so they can send others to do their killing. Finally, as Krauthammer so elegantly states, the rest of the world will sense our military decline and neglect to notice a congress that continually demeans the full faith and credit of the U.S.. Does Krauthammer purposely perpetuate a resemblance to Dr. Strangelove or is it unintentional?

There will be a sequel to The Muppets
By EJ DicksonMarch 1st, 2012, 4:30 pmComments (4)
First, the good news: the powers that be have confirmed that director James Bobin and screenwriter Nicholas Stoller have made a deal with Disney to produce a Muppets sequel, Vulture reports. Yay!
Now for the bad news: Jason Segel, who co-wrote the first movie with Stoller, will not be working on the sequel's screenplay, because he's too busy doing How I Met Your Mother and starring in movies and getting asked out by quirky chicks on YouTube and stuff. Awww, man. That blows.
Oh, wait, more good news! Although Segel's spokesperson did not return a request for comment, Disney insiders say that there's a chance that Segel will return to star in the sequel, depending on whether or not his character ends up in Stoller's and Bobin's screenplay. Yay!
...and now for the really, really bad news: I've officially stopped holding out hope for a big-screen adaptation of Dinosaurs. I guess, maybe, people have lost interest now that the show's been off the air for eighteen years; or movie execs were unsure how to continue the Sinclair family narrative after the series finale implied that all the characters died horrible freezing deaths in the Ice Age. I dunno, it doesn't make a lot of sense to me either, but whatever the reason, I've accepted it's not gonna happen, and at least now I can stop writing letters and passing around petitions and obsessively Googling "'Dinosaurs!' cast reunion movie" multiple times a day. So I'm at a point where I kinda don't know what to keep living for, but I guess this Muppets sequel will do.

When trying to lose weight fast, breakfast can be one of the most challenging meals of the day. If you've been reading our blog for a while you'll know high sugar cereals are not a good diet option! So what to eat for your first meal of the day? Here are some ideas:
Fruit salad
Chop up low GI fruits such as apple, pear, cherries, apricot and berries. 100g of fruit salad with 150g soya yoghurt and a tablespoon of mixed seeds (pumpkin, sunflower, sesame, linseed/flaxseed)
Scrambled eggs
Scramble two free range eggs and serve with 70g smoked salmon. Serve with wilted spinach drizzled with a little olive oil.
Tofu scramble
A vegan alternative to scrambled eggs. Blend together a pinch of: cumin, dried thyme, turmeric powder and salt, add water and mix, then set aside. Break 150g firm tofu apart into pieces and cook on a medium heat for about 10 minutes with a little water, stir often. Choose from peppers, mushrooms, onion or broccoli to dice and cook along with the tofu. Once most of the water has evaporated add the spice blend. Cook for about 5 more minutes and served with cracked black pepper.
Cinnamon and blueberry porridge
Make porridge from 60g of whole rolled oats and almond milk. Add in a teaspoon of cinnamon and top with 100g blueberries and a tablespoon of sunflower seeds.
Berry smoothie
Blend 100g frozen berries with 150g soya yoghurt, some almond milk, a scoop of good quality natural vanilla protein powder and two tablespoons of oats.
Healthy cooked breakfast
Grill one quorn sausage, two large flat mushrooms and two halved plum tomatoes. Serve with one free range poached egg.
Poached egg and avocado on toast
Toast one slice of rye bread. Slice half an avocado and layer over the rye bread. Top with one poached free range egg and serve with a grilled tomato.

Hmm...that's a hard one. I love lots of different comedians from Lewis Black, George Carlin, Robin Williams, and more. I just love comedians! I guess I'd probably pick something from Margaret Cho if you forced me at gunpoint. Her stand up is hysterical!
One favorite? Nope. I have many. A few I would consider are Pan's Labyrinth, The Fountain, Night Breed, Hellraiser, Martyrs, etc.
Cockroaches. I fucking HATE them. I will flip out if I see them in movies, and of course, they happen to be in quite a few movies. Today even my husband found a picture of a lady who stabbed a HUGE cockroach onto a knife and I almost fell out of my chair. If you want me to flip out, show me a roach.
Rich. At this point in my life I am tired of having no money.
Something green, like Spinach. I love spinach. It's tasty, versatile, good for you and full of iron. And it makes the best salads! You'd make an awesome salad I bet. ;)
Open. I don't care if there is monsters in there. They can watch me sleep.
http://www.horrormoviediary.net Maynard is a great guy and posts some wicked horror stuff.
Well, since I am seeing her in concert next week:
To show people all the wonderful things that live in the dark. I want to show people how interesting horror is, and how it has many functions and mediums. It's why I do more than reviews. I want people to experience horror and the macabre from different angles. Books, movies, comics, art, etc. Anything that captures the darkness of the human spirit and the monsters that lurk there.
One with lots of different layers to it. With sauces, meat and veggies! I want it to be full of deliciousness!
Taurus on the Aries Cusp. Or as my husband says, "You're an Aries with a splash of Taurus, because you were late for the Aries party!"
Oh man. I had a couple: Alice Cooper, Robin Williams, Clive Barker and Anne Rice.

The Santa Barbara City Council voted Tuesday to approve a ban on single-use plastic bags after denying an appeal filed against the environmental report for the proposal.
The city has been moving toward a ban since 2009, when it started developing a model ordinance and coordinated a regional environmental report with BEACON (Beach Erosion Authority for Clean Oceans and Nourishment) that has cities as members throughout Santa Barbara and Ventura counties.
Many other local cities have decided to use Santa Barbara's ordinance as a model for their own, so they can use the same EIR as a base, city staff said.
The Planning Commission certified the final environmental impact report, but that decision was appealed by the Save the Plastic Bag Coalition, a group that has been suing cities all over California related to bag bans.
Stephen Joseph spoke for the coalition and argued that paper bag use would go "through the roof" with the ban, which the EIR didn't consider.
He also argued that certain calculations of reusable bag usage and environmental impacts were false. Plastic bags don't pose a threat to marine mammals, he said.
"What's in the body of the EIR is just plain wrong," he said.
City Attorney Steve Wiley said he was sure the coalition would sue the city just as it has sued many others, but the issue would probably be resolved before the ordinance would go into effect anyway.
Stores that are 10,000 square feet or larger (such as supermarkets and pharmacies) will have 180 days from the effective date to comply, and smaller stores will have a year.
Bag ban ordinances focus on food stores such as supermarkets, convenience stores, pharmacies and other stores that sell food items including milk, bread, soda and snack foods.
Public comment was overwhelmingly in support of the ban, and most speakers were part of local environmental groups such as Surfrider, Santa Barbara Channelkeeper, Save the Mermaids and the Community Environmental Council.
Santa Barbara alone uses 47 million plastic single-use bags a year, and there's no way residents have a need for that many for trash-can liners or picking up after pets, said Kathy King of the Community Environmental Council.
She said the Save the Plastic Bag Coalition is using "stall tactics" to delay a ban ordinance.
Kate Nelson, co-founder of Save the Mermaids, said plastic pollution is a serious threat to the ocean environment because it doesn't biodegrade. Plastic bags are a "design flaw in our efforts to be more convenient," she said.
Others told the council that plastic bags are a top six item found in beach and creek cleanups throughout the city and cause problems at the Tajiguas Landfill when they get caught by the wind.
Resident Bonnie Raisin spoke against the ban, saying people should have the choice to use whatever bags they want.
The City Council voted 6-0 to deny Joseph's appeal and approve the ordinance, which will come back for official adoption at a future meeting and start the clock on compliance dates.
"Sometimes things outlive their usefulness," Councilwoman Cathy Murillo said, adding that single-use plastic bags need to be retired.
Councilman Dale Francisco said he had serious reservations about facts in the EIR, but believed that was typical for such a report. On the issue of plastic bag impacts on the environment, "the facts are very hard to find," he said.
Pursuing a regional effort did save the city money, letting it put in $8,000 toward the $66,000 cost instead of funding one on its own, he noted.
Councilman Bendy White chastised the state Legislature for not taking the lead on this issue, and leaving it to cities to figure out how to craft ban ordinances.
City environmental staff said they will work with local stores to comply with the ordinance, and could work with the hospitality and business community to inform tourists of the ban.
There are 20 "Tier 1" stores in the city, 62 "Tier 2 cities" with a year to comply, and 18 that the city is still figuring out, environmental services manager Matt Fore said.
The ordinance will ban single-use plastic carryout bags and require stores to charge 10 cents per paper bag. Stores will have to report to the city on the number of bags given out, money taken in, and educational efforts to reduce bag use.

Which is best or does it come down to preference? What are the advantages between the two.
Printable View
Which is best or does it come down to preference? What are the advantages between the two.
Actually, both styles have an atomizer coil.
The Cartomizer tank, contains a basically disposable cartridge. This cartridge has the atomizer contained within wicking material, which is surrounded by polyfil that draws the juice in through holes in the carto case.
The atomizer tank (i.e. clearo, etc.) uses a rope style wick to draw juice directly onto the atomizer.
The atomizer style (clearo's) tend to dry out a bit after the juice starts to get low, resulting in a burnt wick and a toasted atomizer coil. Some people think that the flavor produced by this method is better, so they live with keeping them continually topped off.
Cartomizers bring their own challenges, by getting burnt in the same manner as clearo's if the polyfil and wick material doesn't get properly saturated before the first use. Certain juices also tend to break down the polyfil material quicker than others, resulting in the need to replace the carto fairly quickly.
At the end of the day, it really comes down to personal preference.
I prefer the Cartomizer tanks, as they are less hassle for me to deal with. I don't really notice a taste difference between the a properly filled and primed carto tank or clearo.
Hope this helps!
Great explanation thank you for clearing it all up.
You're welcome. Glad I could help :)

I have dove single sidemount off boats and haven't had a bit of problems. I use a clip on the neck of the tank and clip on the bottom and just clip them both, route the hoses and giant stride. After I'm in the water and adjust the hoses and hookup the bungee. Dual tanks are a little harder to deal with, either I just sideways though the door or just hookup one tank and have the crew member hand my other tank down to me. This is using AL80 not steel tanks.
I was a little concerned about back rolling off smaller boats but after doing several times in single and dual tanks it isn't really a problem. The last thing I do before rolling is lean forward and make sure the bottoms of my tanks are handing over the edge of the boat then lean back and roll off the boat.

SAN ANTONIO — So you think you had a good week. Try topping Rick Majerus of Utah, the man who ran the Runnin' Utes into the national championship game here Saturday.
The 50-year-old Majerus returned to Salt Lake City last weekend after coaching his team to a shocking upset of defending champion Arizona in the West Regional final. He was riding high, but facing a doctor's appointment with dread. His doctor had ordered him in Tuesday for a procedure that would remove polyps from his colon.

IObit Uninstaller is a multi-talented uninstall tool that can completely remove applications from your hard drive, with none of the usual Registry clutter and junk files that are often left behind.
The cleanup process has two stages. First, you launch the unwanted application's uninstaller and let it do its work. And second, IObit Uninstaller's "Powerful Scan" option checks your Registry and hard drive for remnants that the program might have been left behind. These are then displayed for your approval, and you're able to delete anything the program has discovered in a click.
IObit Uninstaller additionally provides a "Forced Uninstall" option, that you can use to remove a program if the original uninstaller no longer works. It works reasonably well, though of course can't be guaranteed to uninstall everything, so you should only try it as a last resort.
And the program also doubles as an easy way to review and manage all your installed programs. It's faster than Windows own Control Panel applet, for instance, and includes several useful views that will give you a quick look at particular installation types: "Large Programs", "Recently Installed", "Toolbars", "Rarely Used" and more.
IObit Uninstaller 3 is a major update and brings these changes:
+ Brand-new UI for Easier and Better Understanding
+ Fully Supported Windows 8 & 8.1, IE 11
+ Added Deleting Leftovers Automatically in Powerful Scan on Reboot
+ Added Plug-ins Remove Feature for Faster and Cleaner IE, Chrome, Firefox, and Opera
+ Added One-click Tab for Restore Browsers' Default Settings
+ Added User Rating System for Browser Plug-ins for Users' Reference
+ Added File Shred Feature in Powerful Scan and Explorer to Remove Files Thoroughly
+ Added the Option to Start Powerful Scan Automatically After the Built-in Uninstall Process
+ Added Powerful Uninstall to Program's Right-click Menu and Add & Remove Programs in Control Panel
+ Added Update Feature to Keep the Program Always the Latest
* Enhanced the Reliability and Security for Powerful Scan Results
* Improved the Uninstalling Process to be more user-friendly

Disability advocates want state to strengthen laws
WICHITA -- Advocates for the mentally ill are hoping public indignation over the convictions of two Newton group home owners will prompt lawmakers to strengthen state laws protecting disabled people.
On Tuesday, a federal jury ordered Arlan and Linda Kaufman to forfeit $85,187 and four real estate properties, including the Potwin farm where naked residents worked. The ruling came a day after jurors convicted the couple of enslaving patients and coercing them to perform sex acts in videotaped therapy sessions billed to Medicare and their families.
Arlan Kaufman, 69, was found guilty of 31 federal charges and his wife, Linda, 62, was convicted of 30. They include health care fraud, Medicare fraud, forced labor and holding clients in involuntary servitude at the Kaufman House Residential Treatment Center.
The forfeited properties -- which the Kaufmans conveyed to their children for $1 just 11 days after a 2001 raid by authorities -- include the two group homes where the residents lived, the Kaufmans' home and office in Newton, and the family farm in Potwin.
"A terrible flaw in Kansas law perpetuated the abuse at the Kaufman House and I think helped create it by putting people in disability at risk," Rocky Nichols, executive director of the Disability Rights Center of Kansas, said Tuesday.
The Kaufmans incorporated their unlicensed treatment center in 1980 and ran it until their arrests in October 2004. The events leading up to the Kaufmans' arrests and failures that allowed continued operation of the treatment center were detailed by Topeka Capital-Journal reporter Tim Carpenter in a three-part series in late June.
Prosecutors -- who have called the group home a "house of horrors kept financially afloat by fraud" -- have contended the Kaufmans controlled the lives of the mentally ill residents, defrauding their families and Medicare. The couple was accused of forcing residents to masturbate, fondle each other and shave each other's genitals while Arlan Kaufman videotaped them.
The Kaufmans claimed the nudist lifestyle and other treatment methods had therapeutic value for schizophrenic patients and that having residents act out problem behavior helped them avoid repeating it.
Arlan Kaufman insisted at trial that the residents' behavior was voluntary.
It took authorities years to shut down the facility, despite a 1991 Kansas Supreme Court ruling that the facility needed to be licensed, repeated reports of abuse, and a 2001 raid in which videotapes of nude therapy sessions first were seized. Arlan Kaufman's social work license was suspended in 2001, and later expired, but he billed Medicare for therapy at the home after the suspension. Linda Kaufman's nursing license was suspended in 2004.
But it took so long for regulators to pursue the case that the state's statute of limitations had expired for many of the crimes, prompting Attorney General Phill Kline to press federal prosecutors to take the case.
The Kaufmans were arrested under a law that makes it illegal to hold or sell another person into "any condition of involuntary servitude," which is prohibited by the 13th Amendment banning slavery. Subsequent indictments also charged the couple with physically, psychologically and sexually abusing group home residents and defrauding the Medicare program.
The Legislature this past session tightened regulations governing smaller facilities, such as the Kaufman House, that treat mentally ill adults, and created a new state crime of "trafficking" in forced labor or involuntary servitude.
But the Disability Rights Center and Attorney General Phill Kline have said the Legislature didn't go far enough in making changes to state law to protect mentally ill adults, and plan to renew those efforts in the coming session.
Advocates for the mentally ill want to change state laws governing the guardianship of mentally ill adults so that it would prohibit such conflicts of interest as allowing a guardian to also be the service provider. Arlan Kaufman was the guardian of one mentally ill woman who lived at the treatment center, as well as her therapist, landlord and service provider.
In the case, Arlan Kaufman would sign and write checks payable to the Kaufman House out of the woman's account, Nichols said.
About $100,000 from her account is still unaccounted for, Nichols said.
"There are many, many other situations out there where guardians are the service providers. It happens far too frequently in our state, and it is because Kansas law has allowed it to happen," he said. "The guardian is the one appointed by the court to stand up for the person with a disability, to stand up to the service provider to make sure everything is on the up and up."
Advocates also want the state to create an abuse, neglect and exploitation unit that would oversee the various protective service agencies.
The Kansas Department of Health and Environment regulates the care of adults in nursing home facilities. The Department of Social and Rehabilitation Services' Adult Protective Services oversees the rest.
Adult Protective Services conducted six investigations into the Kaufman House and didn't take any steps to shut it down, Nichols said.
The Kaufmans are being held without bond until sentencing Jan. 23. The two face up to 20 years in prison for each of the conspiracy, forced labor and involuntary servitude charges; up to 10 years for each health care fraud charges; and up to five years for each of the other charges.

Schwarzenegger Offers Reward In Amber Dubois Case
Amber Dubois, 14, Missing Since Feb. 13
Posted: 09/17/2009
Last Updated:
1542 days ago
Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger offered $40,000 in state funds Thursday for information on the whereabouts of a teenage North County girl who has been missing for seven months, bringing the total reward amount to $100,000.The additional incentive for public help in solving 14-year-old Amber DuBois' disappearance was requested by Escondido Police Chief Jim Maher.The teen was last seen walking to school on Feb. 13. Detectives and volunteer searchers have so far turned up no solid leads about what became of the Escondido High freshman, described by her family as studious, well-behaved, with no history of running away.Surveillance video of an unidentified burgundy-colored pickup truck that pulled into a bus maintenance yard at Amber's school for a few minutes around the time she vanished also produced no suspect information, authorities have said.This week, the girl's family criticized police for the first time, saying not enough was being done to find her."Our daughter is not getting what she needs to be recovered," Amber's father, Moe Dubois, said at a prayer vigil at Escondido High School on Sunday evening.According to the teen's family, police failed to act quickly on a tip received Aug. 24 from someone who may have seen Amber at a business. The surveillance video from that unnamed business has since been erased.The family also alleged that law enforcement failed to respond in a timely fashion after tracking dogs brought to the region by the family last month picked up her scent.In a statement released prior to the vigil, Escondido police Lt. Bob Benton stressed that his agency wanted the public to know that "we continue to have investigators working full time on this case, (including) detectives from the Escondido Police Department, agents from the FBI and employees from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, as well as countless many other resources to help find Amber."Benton described the case as one of the most extensive investigations ever handled by his department.

Short Sale FAQs Information
Short sale refers to the sale of real property for an amount less than the amount owned on the property. In the short sale scenario, the bank agrees to accept less than the full balance owed on the debt, and usually "forgives" all or a large portion of the difference.
How will the Short Sale affect your credit? Short Sales are still relatively new concept. Banks have the option of submitting the short sale to the credit bureau as " Paid in Full" or " Settled for less than owed". There is no evidence to support that a short sale will lower your credit score. Not making payments on your loan is what lowers your score, not the short sale process. A short sale is unlike a foreclosure or bankruptcy, the lender is simply allowing you to pay less than you owe.
If you are currently behind on your mortgage payments or facing foreclosure, the short sale will help your credit. How? Once you are approved for the short sale, all collection activity will stop and you will avoid foreclosure!
Who benefits from the Short Sale? Lenders,Realtors, Mortgagors get the majority of their money back without having to go through the expense of foreclosing. You get the relief you need and are able to sell your property dignity. Realtors can facilitate the transaction and receive a commission form the sale of the property. Win-Win for everyone.
Why would banks forgive the difference? When faced with the option of taking the property back by foreclosure or short sale, the short sale option is a much wiser business decision for the bank.
This sounds too good to be true! The short sale makes more financial sense for the banks, and mortgage companies they are in the Lending business not in the Real Estate business. The last thing they want is to take the property back through foreclosure.
How long does it take? Short Sale approval can take 60 days or longer.
What if my home is already in foreclosure? Your foreclosure usually will be suspended in during short sale process. That's why it is VERY important you contact me immediately!
I am still confused, should I short sale, do a loan mod or just let them foreclose? Where can I go for more information? Go to www.knowyouroptions.com it is a website provided by Fannie Mae to help consumers be informed on their choices in these trying times.
Can Fha, Conventional and VA loans receive a short sale? Yes in most all cases.
Why don't I just let the bank foreclose? NO! The foreclosure is a legal process and very stressful for the homeowner, never knowing when they will have to move. The impact on your credit is much more damaging and longer to repair on a foreclosure than a short sale. In most cases the impact on your credit score is only two years for a short sale as opposed to seven years on a foreclosure. It involves attorneys and it cost Money! It makes more sense for the bank to take less money owed than taking the property back.
Can I rent out my house while I wait for the short sale to go through? I do not recommend renting out the property during the process. Banks are not sympathetic to sellers who receive rent and do not make mortgage payments! Also the are laws to protect renters and the house will be much harder to show and sell!
Will I have to pay a Real Estate commission? NO, the banks will pay all the costs of selling.
Will I be taxed or owe any money on the debt forgiven? In 2007 the U.S. Congress passed the Mortgage Debt Forgiveness Relief Act and it is in effect until 2012. Borrowers no longer pay taxes on the debt forgiven on their primary residence. The rules are different for investment property. For more information go to http://www.irs.gov
I hope this information has helped you, feel free to give me a call 818.986.4129 or email me at firstname.lastname@example.com at anytime I may be of Real Estate service to you.
Thank you,

Reports that the UK has risen up the European recycling league table show the UK edged upwards in the European Union recycling league table during 2010
According to provisional figures for municipal waste in 2010 published by the EU statistical body Eurostat, the UK reached a recycling rate of 25 percent per head in 2010, composting rate of 14 percent and the total rate at approximately 39 percent.
According to the report the UK overtook Norway to stand at the eleventh best recycler per capita throughout the Union sitting one percentage point above the European Average. The statistics show a dramatic increase in recycling in the UK over the passed decade.
The report, however, highlights that the UK's use of landfill is still above the EU average. Municipal waste sent to landfill in 2010 stood at 521kg per person, 18 percent higher than the EU average.
The Environmental Services Association's (ESA) communications officer, Rid Hollands, said of the report: "As the latest Eurostat provisional statistics show, recycling levels in the UK have risen dramatically in the last ten years or so, and our members are at the forefront of ensuring these rates continue to rise.
"However, there is still a lot more we can do as a country. As we've previously stated, there is still 11.4m tonnes of waste being sent to landfill and the UK is still some way from reaching its EU Directive target of recycling 50 percent of household waste by 2020.
"Whilst it's good to see the UK move into 11th place in the European rankings, our members need government and local government to provide a stable and sensible regulatory and planning regime if they are to invest the £10 to £20bn needed to upgrade Britain's waste infrastructure, and challenge the likes of Germany and Switzerland for top spot. ""
