This is my first post on this forum. About two months ago I bought a Sony HDR-AX2000 camera. Since that time I've been reading posts on this forum and others to try to figure out what kind of computer and editing software to buy. If any of you would be kind enough to answer some begineer questions I would appreciate it.
I'm experienced in still photography and have a good eye for taking pictures. But all of my photography experience has been with film cameras. I've wanted to get into HD video as a hobby for some time but I've been waiting and watching as the prosumer cameras got better and less expensive.
The last time I bought a computer was in about 2000. I have done some audio editing on that system using Cakewalk but that's about as close to video editing that I got.
I don't have any visions of becoming a professional editor on any level. I expect there will be a steep learning curve on the editing but I'm okay with that.
What would ruin me would be having to spend time debugging incompatibility issues, crashes, and so forth. I don't have the knowledge of computers that many of you do so that would be very frustrating for me. For the same reason, I don't think it would be wise for me to try to build my own system (although I can appreciate that it would be less expensive).
So here are my questions:
1. I've read a lot of posts about issues with CS6. The common thread seems to be running CS6 on the Mac. Are those of you who run CS6 on PCs having similar issues?
2. I had ADK spec out a PC-based system for me with Adobe Production Premier. I'd like your opinion on their recommended system:

Video Editing Workstation
ADK-I7-DVC Price: $5,165.00
Description: Intel Sandy Bridge video editing workstation.
3. Can I work with AVCHD files from the Sony camera in Production Premier/ Premier Pro CS6? Are there any compatibility issues I sould be aware of?
4. For those of you that are using Premier Pro with Macs - is it possible to buy earlier versions (e.g. CS5.5) and would you recommend that if I decided to buy a Mac?
1. It does seem like we have fewer issues on the PC.
2. ADK knows their stuff. Generally they're very reliable about specs. But I personally disagree with their hard drive philosophy. I think there are better setups than what they usually recommend. Also, $5K seems a bit pricey for a hobby machine.
3. There is a bug with certain AVCHD media that makes CS6 largely unusable. It seems to affect only long (spanned) clips, but only from certain cameras. You may want to test out PP with your media before buying.
Your question is honestly probably better suited to the hardware forum in the Adobe Forums. I suggest you go there and see what the regulars think the best current Intel platform is for video editing. As a preview, I can tell you that the X79 "Sandy Bridge-E" architecture is favored somewhat over the Z-77 "Ivy Bridge" architecture of this system you're considering. The CPU in the sweet spot currently is the Intel i7 3930k 6 core ("hexa-core"). You can read in the hardware forum for details on why this is the case. Since you're not building your own, however, you have a number of considerations to make as you assess the specifications and features of the package, from exactly which CPU is being bundled, to whether the bundled case has a USB 3 port in front. (The Zalman Z9 does not, to the best of my knowledge.) The direction you take will depend on your priorities.
I suggest that you take a look at a couple of changes.
I suggest adding a SSD as your boot drive. Makes booting up and opening applications so much faster.
I also suggest you take a look at saving your money on Production Premium - a very expensive program - and look at the Creative Cloud. You get all the same programs plus quite a few more. For only $50 per month. That leaves extra money for a faster PC. It takes about 34 months of owning Production Premium before it is cheaper in the long run than the Creative Cloud. But by then, the Creative Cloud would have upgraded your software at least dozens of times.

Hi Steven. I dont have SSDs as my system drive and the computer boots up before 60 seconds as well.
I prefer to save money and use standard drives. This way I can have a regular second drive that is a clone of the regular system drive (on which I also store my applications). This allows me to have a quick turn around if the main drive fails.
So I would need 2 SSDs. I prefer spending that money on other items.
Understood. I am glad to hear your system boots up quickly as well.
I did, by the way, buy a second SSD with a clone of my original installation sitting on it. Just in case.
Are you on a standard drive for you OS or is it a RAID? While SSD makes me a bit nervous, I think RAID0 makes me more nervous for a boot disk. Yet, I know people do that.
I have 4 standard drives ( not in a raid) and the Dulce ProDQg2 16TB raid 5 system which is amazingly fast. Im getting read/ write speeds for 1080P media at around 1100/1000 MB/sec.
Drives 1 has the system/ apps
Drive 2 is for all the media cache and data files for PP and AE
Drive 3 Is for Project files, Tutorial files and the place I export PP timelines to.
Drive 4 is the clone of drive 1

ALAMEDA, Calif. (AP) - A boater is hospitalized in a Northern California burn center after an explosion aboard his 30-foot vessel at an Alameda marina dock.
The San Francisco Chronicle (http://bit.ly/VL4RGr) says 30-year-old Josh Sailer has burns over 20 percent of his body. He's hospitalized in the burn unit at Santa Clara Valley Medical Center in San Jose.
Sailer was in the cabin of his boat Thursday afternoon when there was an explosion, possibly caused by a gas stove.
Alameda fire division chief Doug Long says Sailer ran from the cabin and jumped into the water to extinguish flames enveloping his body.

Stocks dropped, with blue chips falling to two-month lows, as investors fretted over escalating tensions in Syria.
Global stock markets retreated and oil prices hit a six-month high as investors shifted out of risky assets ahead of a possible U.S. military strike against Syria. Energy markets reporter Dan Strumpf reports on the News Hub. Photo: AP.
Low volumes exacerbated the effect of the selling, and the drop in the market's benchmark indexes to fresh lows for the month also soured the market's technical outlook, traders said.
While much of the chatter among traders Tuesday was about Syria, the sell-off extends a decline from recent weeks blamed on expectations that the Federal Reserve will decide in September to scale back its economic stimulus efforts. Adding to the negative tone Tuesday is increased saber rattling on Capitol Hill over the potential for a political battle over raising of the U.S. federal debt limit.

More quote details and news » Jones Industrial Average shed 170.33 points, or 1.1%, to 14776.13. The Dow closed at the lowest level since June 25.
The S&P 500-stock index fell 26.30 points, or 1.6%, to 1630.48 and the Nasdaq Composite Index slid 79.05 points, or 2.2%, to 3578.52.
The S&P 500 has lost 4.6% from its all-time closing high of 1709.67 on Aug. 2, but is still up 14% so far this year.
"People are using Syria as an excuse to sell today," said Uri Landesman, president of New York-based hedge fund Platinum Partners. "The prospects of the U.S. [using military action] is not making investors particularly sanguine."
He said light volumes, which are the norm for this time of the year as investors take vacation ahead of the long Labor Day weekend, is exaggerating the impact of fears over Syria.
"Lower volume generally breeds greater volatility," Mr. Landesman said. "This is not the right week to have a crisis."

Ed Lashinski, director of global strategy and execution at RBC Capital Markets' Futures Group the drop in the S&P 500 below last week's low also drew in sellers.
"You're dealing with a thinner market," Mr. Lashinski said. "The technical backdrop is also becoming more pernicious."
Late Monday, Secretary of State John Kerry said the Syrian government's use of chemical weapons is a "moral obscenity" and that the Obama administration has developed conclusive evidence that chemical weapons were used last week. It was the clearest signal yet that the U.S. is considering an attack against President Bashar al-Assad's regime.
Despite the sharp declines, with the S&P 500 suffering the biggest one-day selloff since June 20, traders said the day's activity didn't reflect panic on the part of institutional buyers.
"Really there's no positive stuff to counteract what's going on in the geopolitical sphere," said Kanellas Cafcules, managing director of ETF trading at Cantor Fitzgerald. "In a liquidity void at this time of the summer, it makes sense that we're going to drift lower on this kind of news."
Meanwhile, the escalating tensions over Syria have pushed up oil prices and other assets seen as havens during times of crisis, such as U.S. Treasurys and gold.
October crude-oil futures climbed 2.9% to settle at a six-month high of $109.01 a barrel. August gold futures rose 2% to $1,420.60 an ounce, a three-month high. The yield on the 10-year Treasury note fell to 2.722% from 2.805% late Monday, as Treasury prices rose. The dollar slipped against the euro and the yen.
The Treasury Department also said late Monday that it would hit its borrowing limit in mid-October, which is sooner than many expected.
Platinum Partners' Mr. Landesman said that while market seems focused on Syria, "from a fundamental perspective, the budget [concerns] are potentially more ominous."
The S&P/Case-Shiller 20-City home price index for June rose 12.1% from the same period a year ago, compared with expectations of a 12.2% increase.
The Conference Board's consumer confidence index rose to 81.5 in August from 80.1 in July, compared with expectations of a slight decline to 79.1.
European markets slumped, with the Stoxx Europe 600 losing 1.8%, as worries about Syria and the U.S. debt ceiling overshadowed upbeat data out of Germany. The Ifo institute's business confidence index for Germany rose more than expected to 107.5 in August from 106.2 in July.
Asian markets ended mostly lower. Japan's Nikkei Stock Average shed 0.7% as a result of concerns over Syria. China's Shanghai Composite bucked the regional trend, rising 0.3% after data showed total profits among industrial firms in July grew 12% from June, accelerating from a 6.3% increase the previous month.

Shakira wants to sing pop songs in Arabic
Shakira the Mexican singer has Lebanese heritage, which often show in her belly dancing-esque moves.
Colombian pop singer Shakira recently revealed in Morocco that she is interested in recording an album in Arabic.
"It would be a challenge to do an album in Arabic. I would first have to learn Arabic," she said. "I am completely open to that experience. ... At some point I would love that to happen in my life."
Born in Colombia of Syrian origin, Shakira said she grew up listening to the Arab world's premier divas of the 20th century, Egyptian Umm Kalthum and Lebanese Fairuz, reports the Gulf News.
The native Spanish speaker also admitted that she only speaks a few words of Arabic, including ateeni boosa or give me a kiss, provoking laughter among the mostly Moroccan crowd of journalists.

First off, I must say that there are some actors that I just enjoy watching…Doesn't really matter all that much what they do up on the silver screen…I just like them…And Jason Statham is one of them.
Is he a great actor? That's yet to be determined, but he's definitely an entertaining one.
In his new film 'Safe' written and directed by Boaz Yakin ('Remember The Titans') Statham is at the top of his game. He plays Luke Wright, an ex super cop, ex cage fighter, who's at the lowest point in his life. Luke's wife has been murdered by the Russian mob and he is one step away from jumping off a subway platform into a moving train.
Seriously, he really is…until he spots a girl who looks like she's in trouble.
The girl is ten year old Mei (Catherine Chan) and she happens to be a genius/math prodigy. Mei was kidnapped from her school in China and whisked off to New York City where she now resides with Triad boss, Han Jiao (James Hong). The old dude doesn't believe in computers and since Mei has a flawless memory, she becomes his human ledger.
Unfortunately for Mei, the Russian mob know all about her awesome skills and they want her for themselves. So they wind up kidnapping her. Wow, kidnapped twice in one movie. That's a record.
Okay, so the Russians have Mei…They want her to tell them about some number. The little genius refuses to spill what she knows and when these goof balls aren't looking, Mei escapes into the wild streets of Manhattan.
Oh, did I forget to mention…there's also a bunch of crooked cops after her as well.
It really sucks being popular.
Anyway, back to Mei, Luke and the subway platform…The Chinese and Russians are closing in on our girl fast…Luke, being the bad ass killing machine that he is…fights them all off, grabs Mei and…what follows are…
Incredible chase scenes, non stop violence, killer fight scenes, crashing cars, more killer fight scenes, as Luke struggles to keep Mei…safe.
Now don't think that 'Safe' is all blood and guts…Well, basically it is, but…
There's also some funny and sweet moments between Luke and Mei and that's what added to the fun.
And yes, this film is fun and that's why I gave it 3 1/2 bagels out of 5.
Check out our video to see John's rating…Hint…We seem to have a different idea about fun…at least when it comes to movies.
'Safe' opens in theatres Friday, April 27, 2012.

Unlike John, the other half of the 'Two Jews On Film, it doesn't take a lot for me to enjoy a film…Basically, I want to care about the characters and their story. And this brings me to my problem with…'The Five Year Engagement', directed by Nicholas Stoller ('Get Him To The Greek') I just didn't care.
Not only didn't I care about the two lead characters, Tom (Jason Segel) and Violet (Emily Blunt) but they really, really annoyed me..
The film starts out promising. Tom, an up and coming chef in San Francisco, proposes rather romantically, to his British girlfriend, Violet. She happily accepts and…next thing we know…
There's an engagement party, where we meet the couple's parents, friends and Emily's over emotional sister, Suzie (the very funny, Alison Brie). Suzie's toast to the happy couple is definitely the highlight of this film.
Anyway, Tom and Violet start to plan their wedding, set the date, etc…and all is wonderful in their world…Until…
Violet gets accepted at the University of Michigan to study and teach psychology. Tom, being the nice guy that he is, agrees to leave San Fran and move to…you guessed it…
The wilds of…Michigan…Tom figures that he can get a chef job anywhere, right?...Hmm, not quite. After being turned down by several upscale restaurants, Tom winds up working at a local deli, making sandwiches.
He's not exactly…'living the dream' Violet, however…is. She thrives while Tom goes downhill…fast.
Some of the highlights of his descent…Tom becomes a hunter…killing defenseless deer, while wearing really ugly sweaters, that his new friend, Chris Parnell, a stay at home dad, knits for him. Our guy also grows a scraggly beard, raises bees, and makes mead. Really???
So, the wedding date keeps getting postponed…over and over and over again. At the same time, to Violet's chagrin, her sister Suzie winds up marrying Tom's best friend, fellow chef, Alex (Chris Pratt) and has babies and lots of hot sex.
Chris Pratt, by the way, plays the exact same character he portrays in his t.v. show 'Parks and Recreation'.
Considering that Judd Apatow was the producer and I am a big fan of Segel, I really expected so much more from this romantic comedy. There are some funny moments, but on the whole, I found it predictable and plodding.
'The Five Year Engagement' opens in theatres, April 27, 2012. I gave it 2 bagels out of 5.
Check out our video to see John's thoughts and his rating. I'd wait for DVD.

The music of Bob Marley makes me feel really, really good. I could be in the worst mood, stuck in traffic…Whatever…All I have to do is click on 'One Love', 'Exodus' or 'No Woman No Cry' and my spirits soar.
However, my knowledge of Bob Marley was limited. I knew that he was a Rastafarian, a Jamaican legend and one incredible songwriter/singer.
After seeing Kevin McDonald's documentary entitled 'Marley' I am happy to report, that I now know so much more…about Marley, the man and why…he was and still is…one of the greatest musical icons of the 20th century.
Bob Marley brought regae and his Rastafarian lifestyle to the masses. He became a mythical figure to the people of Jamaica and to many others around the world. His music lifted and united all people and greatly influenced the politics of the time. We're talking late 60's, 70's.
Marley was born in the mountains of Jamaica in 1945 to a black mother and white father he only met a couple of time. Because of his mixed race, he was a victim of prejudice throughout his childhood. It seems that was one of the reasons he became a Rastafarian…
Kevin McDonald, who won an Oscar for Best Documentary in 2000 (One Day In September) has put together, through a series of extensives interviews with Marley's wife, children (Ziggy and Cedella), record producer, Chris Blackwell (Island Records) as well as Bunny Wailer, the last remaining member of Marley's band, The Wailer's…an in-depth picture of Marley's life…What drove him and what was the source of his inspiration.
Marley's enormous talent brought him international fame, love and adoration…Especially the latter.
He had one wife, Rita, but Bob certainly loved the ladies. He fathered 11 children by several different women. Hey, no one's perfect.
The best part of this film though, is seeing Bob Marley in concert. To say he was an extraordinary performer, doesn't even come close. If Marley was alive today, he'd definitely give 'The Boss' a run for his money.
Sadly of course, he's not. Bob Marley died from Melanoma in 1981 at the young age of 36.
My only criticism of the film, is its length…2 1/2 hours…It could have been trimmed by at least 30 or 40 minutes…Having said that, I still whole heartedly recommend 'Marley' to anyone who loves music, regae and of course…Bob Marley.
I gave 'Marley' which opens in theatres April 20, 2012, 4 bagels out of 5…As usual, John disagrees with my rating.

'The Cabin In The Woods', written by Joss Whedon (Buffy The Vampire Slayer & Avengers) and Drew Goddard (Cloverfield) who also directed, is one of the most clever horror films I've seen in a really long time.
Okay, without giving too much away, here's the scenerio…Five friends go to a remote cabin in the woods and really horrible things start to happen to them.
But trust me…It's not what you think…or what you've come to expect from your classic horror film….
Because the friends are being watched…and…manipulated by a group of guys and gals in a control room, led by Bradley Whitford and Richard Jenkins.
And when you, the audience, find out why these group of weirdos are doing all this controlling…well, for me it was not only the highlight of the film, but it confirmed the fact that I was watching a movie that was a true…original.
'The Cabin In The Woods' turns the horror genre on its head…The film is a satire as well as a homage to some of the great scary movies from the past…Sam Raimi's 'Evil Dead', Dario Argento's 'Suspira' as well as those creepy Japanese ghost stories, that I'm addicted to, even though they keep me up all night.
The the cast is perfect for this kind of movie…Anna Hutchison is Jules, the pretty, sexy blond who loves to party…Kristen Connolly is Dana, the virgin…Chris Hemsworth, (Mr. Thor) is Curt, the good looking/eye candy dude…Fran Kranz is Marty, the pot smoking, paranoid, guy without a date and finally, there's Jessie Williams as Holden, the hot intellectual who can read.
I gave 'The Cabin In The Woods' 4 bagels out of 5…John, who created one of the great horror films of the 20th century (Faces Of Death) turns out not to be a big fan of this genre, afterall. Now that's irony.
Check out our video to see John scare me and to find out his thoughts.
'The Cabin In The Woods' opens in theatres April the 13th, which happens to be a Friday. Do not miss it.

First I must say, that I have never been a fan of 'The Three Stooges'...never watched their tv show way back when or understood their appeal. Slapstick, over the top comedy has never been my thing.
So you can imagine how much I was dreading seeing the Farrelly Brothers new film 'The Three Stooges'. Well guess what? To my surprise…I absolutely loved it and I LMAO.
This has a lot to do with the three actors portraying these guys. Moe (Chris Diamantopoulos) Larry (Sean Hayes) and Curly (Will Sasso) are absolutely spot on in bring these iconic characters to life.
Yes, the humor is campy, silly, but it's funny.
Briefly, the film is broken down into three episodes/acts. The story (as if it matters) is about three babies who are left on the doorstep of any orphanage run by nuns.
The newborns Moe, Larry and Curly grow up finger-poking, nyuk-nyuk-nuyking and woo-wooing their way to adulthood.
When they find out that the orphanage is on the verge of being closed down due to financial problems, the guys set off into the world to find the necessary cash ($800 million plus) to save the only home they've ever known.
What happens next is all very nonsensical and you just have to go with it.
The film was written by Peter and Bobby Farrelly along with their boyhood friend Mike Cerrone ('Me, Myself & Irene') and to get an idea of some of the humor…
Larry David (Steinfeld) plays Sister Mary-Mengele, Jennifer Hudson is a singing nun, Jane Lynch (Glee) is a sweet nun, Sofia Vergara is trying to get her rich husband knocked off, and the cast of 'Jersey Shore' is…well…the cast of Jersey Shore…
'The Three Stooges' is a blast from the past and it's also a blast for the present. I gave this movie 4 out of 5 bagels and John was close behind. Check out our video to see his score and a few other things.
'The Three Stooges' opens in theatres Friday April 13th. Don't miss it.

Wrath Of The Titans, Movie Review
By Joan Alperin Schwartz
So what's a demigod to do when all he wants, is to live a quiet life with his son, and do a little fishing, but his daddy has other plans for him?
That's the predicament Perseus (Sam Worthington) finds himself in, when a war breaks out among the gods. Families…Can't live with them…Can't live without them.
Seems Perseus father, Zeus (Liam Neeson) has been kidnapped by his brothers Hades (Ralph Fiennes) and Poseidon (Danny Huston) and he's being held captive in the underworld, where his bad ass dad, Kronos, is sucking the life out of him.
To make matters worse, us humans, being the fickle creatures that we are, have lost interest in the gods causing them to lose their power….Sort of what happened with the t.v. show 'Desperate Housewives'.
Anyway, if Perseus doesn't help rescue Daddy Zeus, all hell will be unleased on earth. We're talking…when monsters attack…and these are some really ugly monsters, with way to many arms and extremely bad breath.
Luckily Perseus has Poseidon's half son, fellow demigod, Agenor (Toby Kebbell) along with warrior Queen Andromeda (Rosamund Pike) to help him on his quest to save big daddy.
Along the way, our little group meets up with the fallen god, Hephaestus (Bill Nighy) and a few gigantic Cyclops with major anger issues.
Basically in my opinion, this film plays out like one long video game. There are obstacles to overcome, creatures to defeat, mazes that need to be manuevered and…well, you get the idea.
Some of the 3D effects are pretty cool and even though I haven't seen the first film, 'Clash Of The Titans', I've heard that this one is supposedly better.
'Wrath Of The Titans' was directed by Jonathan Liebesman, the same dude who directed 'Battle LA', another film I wasn't crazy about either.
This movie opens in theatres Friday, March 30, 2012. I gave it 2 bagels out of 5.

The film 'American Pie' was and is a classic.
For those of you unfamiliar with the story, 'American Pie' is about four guys, from East Great Falls Michigan, that are on a quest…to lose their virginity before they graduate high school.
I can still remember sitting in the theatre LMAO watching the escapades of these 17 year olds desperately trying to score. The film went on to make zillions of dollars and of course spawned several sequels…Which brings me to…
'American Reunion'...the latest in the franchise. The film was written and directed by Jon Hurwitz and Hayden Schlossberg (Harold and Kumar) and unfortunately, except for 3 times, I did not LMAO.
The film takes place ten years after the gang graduated from high school. They've come back to their home town for their 10 year high school reunion…and we soon discover, that none of their lives have turned out the way they expected…Never saw that in a film before.
Okay, so in case you've forgotten who our guys are, briefly, in no particular order…We have…
Jim Levenstein, (Jason Bigg), the penis in the pie guy, who's now married to band girl Michelle (Alyson Hannigan) They have a two year old son and don't have any time for sex…Guess the kid never sleeps.
Ostreicher/Oz (Chris Klein), the goodlooking jock, really has it rough. He's a big time television sportscaster and is forced to live in a gorgeous house with a super hot girl that looks great in a thong.
Kevin, (Thomas Ian Nicholas) now an architect/stay at home dad, also has it bad. His beautiful wife makes dates with him to watch Real Housewives of Beverly Hills and parts beyond.
Finch, ( Eddie Kaye Thomas) the clean freak, who had sex with Stiffler's mom, supposedly has been travelling all around the world and of course, last but not least…
Stifler/Stifmeister (Seann William Scott) the over the top obnoxious, crazy dude, who is still, an over the top obnoxious, crazy dude. He still lives with his big breasted mom (Jennifer Coolidge) except now he has a job working for a very short man with an extremely huge ego.
So all these guys along with all the ladies from 'American Pie' including…Tara Reed, Shannon Elizabeth, Natasha Lyonne, Mena Survari, meet up to party like it's 1999.
Along the way, we have lots of crude jokes, nudity, a penis or two, a little sex, a few jokes that really work, many jokes and bits that really, really don't work…and an ending (don't worry I'm not spoiling it) where…
Our guys and girls come to realize that their lives don't really suck and what matters most is…Ready?...Friendship…
The best part of 'American Reunion' is Eugene Levy as Jim's dad. He is one funny dude. Watching him reminds me what this film could have been, but isn't. Stay past the end credits to see a very funny bit involving him.
As I said in our video, I laughed hard three times so for that reason I am giving 'American Reunion' 2 1/2 bagels out of 5. Check out our video to see John's thoughts on the film and well…life.
'American Reunion' opens in theatres Friday, April 6, 2012. Personally I'd wait for the DVD.

Mirror, mirror on the wall…Who's the fairest Of Us All?
The answer to that question, is definitely Miss Julia Roberts, who plays Snow White's (Lily Collins) evil stepmother/queen, in director Tarsem Singh's new film, 'Mirror Mirror'.
Ms Roberts absolutely nails the part.
In fact, she is the only reason, to see this remake of the classic fairytale, but she is one good enough reason. I think this is one of her best performances in a long time.
For those of you not familiar with the story…Yes, it is possible…Snow White's daddy, the king (Sean Bean) disappeared one dark and stormy night…maybe it snowed, but in any case, he was never seen or heard from again…
The king's wife, aka the evil one, has been ruling the land ever since and, has all but destroyed the kingdom and its people.
You see, Miss Queenie is your basic narcissist…obssessed with her looks and size 2 figure. I'm sure we've all run into that type once or twice…
She's also verbally abusive to Snow, who really doesn't seemed all that bothered by it…until…
Snow finds out that the Queen, has bled the people dry, by taxing them to the hilt. Hey, spider venom is expensive…and this Queen needs a ton of it.
Okay, so Snow, unbeknownst to the Queen, sneaks out of the palace and heads for town. Miss White wants to see for herself how bad things really are.
Well as fate would have it, Snow runs into…none other than…Prince Charming…(aren't they all).
And of course, she meets…The Seven Dwarfs…but they're no longer the seven little guys we've come to know and love. For some reason, they've been renamed…Gone are Happy, Dopey, Sleepy, Mopey…etc…They've been replaced by…Grimm, Napoleon, Pint-size, Butcher, Chuckles, Grub and Wolf…If you stay past the credits, you will find out why…
Does this new take on 'Snow White' work? Yes and no…Visually it's beautiful…Loved the sets and the costumes.
Armie Hammer as Prince Charming is…charming…Nathan Lane as Brighton, the Queen's punching bag man-servant is fine…Nathan does Nathan and that's always enjoyable.
Lily Collins (daughter of Phil) is slightly bland as Snow. I would have liked her to bring some quirkness to the part.
'Mirror Mirror' is a bit edgier and hipper but unfortunately it misses being a 'Shriek' or even a 'Princess Bridge'.
However, the film is still fun and at times funny. So if you have kids, are a kid, have a kid inside of you, then 'Mirror Mirror' which opens in theatres Friday, March 30, 2012, is the perfect movie to see this weekend.

The Lancia Fulvia was made famous as a result of its International Rally Championships title in 1972. The racing pedigree has continued throughout the years with the more modern Lancia's an ever present feature on the WRC tour.
The front wheel drive car was designed by Antonia Fessia and differed from its predecessors, which had all been rear wheel drive. The engine used also differed from the Flavia in being a narrow angle vee configuration, whilst the Flavia had used a horizontal configuration.
The Lancia Fulvia also saw the introduction of four wheel disc brakes, which is always a key feature in racing cars, allowing the driver to brake late into the corners. The handbrake was also designed to focus on the rear wheels of the car.
A number of engines were made available including a 1.1 litre, 1.2 litre, 1.3 litre and 1.6 litre. The 1.1 litre model produced just 58 bhp whilst the 1.2 litre version produced an impressive 80 bhp.

The 1.6 litre engine gave a performance range from 115 bhp to 132 bhp and could be tuned accordingly.
In total, there were 23 different models of the Fulvia across a variety of engines. The Lancia Fulvia Berlina was the first model to be introduced in 1963. The four door saloon version came complete with a 1.1 litre which delivered a mere 58 bhp. The Berlina GTE was introduced in 1968 and featured to the new 1.3 litre which gave the driver 87 bhp at 6,000 rpm. This model also saw up rated brakes.
The coupe version of the car was first introduced in 1965 and looked stunning. The car was designed by Piero Castagnero and featured a more powerful 1.2 litre engine delivering 80 bhp at 6,000 rpm.
The Rallye 1.3 HF was a modified version of the HF Coupe and featured the new 1.3 litre, delivering a very impressive 101 bhp at 6,400 rpm. There were a total of six rally versions of the Flavia.
The final version to drive off the production line was the Sport 1600 which had a top speed of 118 mph, making it the fastest Flavia produced. The modified interior of the car saw the introduction of electric windows.

I bought this book before my daughter was born. It has been the best purchase we have made! My daughter became interested in the book at about 6 months old and ever since then it has been a must read every night before bed. At 13 months she is a pro now at every task- patting bunny, smelling the flowers, waving bye bye, and all the other great features. I will buy this for every pregnant friend and relative. After 6 months she is still in love with this book.

Cute but poor quality
Would be perfect as a board book. Binding is cheesy and cheap. Save your money. There are better ones out there.

Not sure about this...
By bella'smom

Nice book, but I don't understand what's up with the one page where its "Judy's book" and its a little book on the page you open up and read... I didn't think it made alot of sense to put it in there and I thought this part of the book was a bit odd.

The best baby book!
By Melissa
from Albuquerque, NM
Pat The Bunny is a very interactive baby book. It is easy to understand with only a simple sentence on each page. My daughter learned to wave bye-bye from this book at seven months after reading it to her for a couple weeks. She also learned how to sniff the flowers and she would look in the mirror and coo at herself. :) She was in love with Pat the Bunny and we read it over and over to her until about 1 year old. Now she is 15 months and I also read her other books and she still loves Pat The Bunny.

I had this book growing up and still do, but it's torn from all the years of using it! Now that I'm pregnant with twins, I purchased this book for my little ones! It uses so many senses which are important for development and only hope they love it as much as I did and DO!

About Me Bookworm
This is a great book for babies and toddlers because of the interaction with the textures and shapes that it fosters and the familiar things in the book. My two children loved it and learned so much from it. It is not a book for children to play with, however. It is a book for parents and others to read to the child. I buy it now for baby gifts for everyone I know.

Tradewinds is a stellar route on the Incredible Hulk, located between Positive Vibrations and Red Dihedral. The climbing is steep, clean, and sustained, just about as good as alpine climbing gets! The route starts in an obvious straight-in corner about 40' to the right of the "Triangular Recess" (Positive Vibes starts on the left side of the triangle). P1 Climb the corner past 2 bolts (11a). Just when it looks like it's gonna get really thin, step left to a great belay stance with 2 bolts. 100' P2 Make a 5.10 face move back right into the corner, and then scramble up and right on easy terrain to another 2 bolt anchor. These 2 pitches can be easily combined. P3 Step left from the belay and make a 5.8 mantle, and then wander up and left on easy ledges to the base of a left facing corner system. Climb the corner past a small roof (5.10), and then face-traverse left below a larger roof to a 2 bolt anchor. 170' P4 Continue up easy terrain to a steep pillar that blends into a shallow left facing corner, which eventually curves left to form a roof. Climb past 2 old bolts on thin and exciting moves (11b). This is probably the spiciest lead on the climb, bring small RPs and a cool head. Once the roof is reached, avoid it by busting out right (5.10). Trend right, then back left on easy terrain to a 2 bolt station just below the large "Bivy Ledge". P5 Some tricky routefinding here, since many routes cross the Bivy Ledge. You're aiming for the prominent left facing flake/corner system that forms the right boundary of the clean "Sheild". There's a distinct looking straight-in corner that's tempting, but I guess this is the Macedonian route and it dead ends into aid climbing. Tradewinds goes to the right of this, and shares this pitch with Astro Hulk. Wander up short LF corners, passing one old bolt. Shortly after the old bolt, when the corner pinches down, make a cool traverse left past a splitter crack to gain a ledge on the left (5.10+). Belay off gear atop this pillar/ledge. P6 This is a short 5.9 pitch that climbs the spooky looking detatched flake, just left of the main corner system. It seems pretty solid. We didn't do this, but I think it's possible to link P5&6, probably with some easy simuling. There's a tempting 2 bolt belay up and right here, but it's probably better to belay from a single (new) bolt and some gear just to the left of the 2 bolt station. P7 The route up to here has been great, but here it gets mind-blowing! Climb the shallow LF corner, past some strenuous thin lie-backing, and then past a few bolts (11c). At the last bolt, lean out left and clip the lone belay bolt, and then make a very hard move to gain the belay stance (11+). The bolt can be backed up with a med-large cam in the flake above. P8 Very strenuous thin underclinging and liebacking around the flake, past 2 bolts (11d). Higher, enter "The Venturi", the awesome inset roof system, and climb it to a 2 bolt anchor (5.10) From here, gain the Crow's Nest Ledge and consider your options: Climb the amazing splitter finish to the Venturi Effect (11d), wander right and finish on Astrohulk (5.9), or Rap (70m rope required). Either way, it's been an amazing day on the Sierra's best chunk of rock!
Double set of Cams from very small (000 C3 useful) to #2 Camalot, and a single #3. Extra TCUs would not go unplaced. A healthy rack of stoppers and small nuts/RPs is helpful. (I placed a #2 BD micro stopper)
Did this with Dave Anderson last week. An excellent route, with a few places that are so so. Here is some additional beta. First of all, I would recommend using Nettle's topo - it just made more sense to me. The first pitch felt hard for us - maybe we weren't warmed up but don't give up if it feels hard there. Stem. The RP section on pitch 4 is heads up but there is good gear to be found there. Dave used the trick where you girth-hitch a nut to an RP to extend your reach and was able to place two good RPs before the business started. On pitch 6, GO RIGHT and don't climb that huge scary flake, you can stay on safe ground and then move back left to belay where you should. On pitch 7 I was able to find a lot of stances so it didn't feel too hard. I ended up laybacking the loose flake which didn't feel like the smartest move but it seemed like the thing to do. If you have been doing your yoga then maybe you can stem. Getting to the anchor is tough - when in doubt, go higher. Pitch 8 is great in some ways and terrible in others. The movement is fantastic, however after clipping the first bolt you end up moving past the hangerless stud of a second bolt which for me kind of ruins the vibe. There is something about climbing 5.11+ terrain knowing that someone thought a bolt should go there and then they changed their mind that causes one to pause. Or at least that's what happened to me. And right there the flake isolated my left pinky and I popped a finger pulley. Ouch. (Just go for it - there is a bomber blue TCU just above you!) And then my rope got really stuck under the flakes and we ended up in a cluster for a while freeing it up. Try to be mindful of where your rope is running. But the top section of pitch 8 is great! All in all, this is a great route and a great adventure. So you should do it. Bring doubles from small TCU up to #3 Camalot (1 #3 would be OK) and bring a few extra TCUs (blue Metolius TCU size is key), plus one set of nuts and RPs. We rapped with a 60m lead line and a 150 ft tag line and were able to rap the route. Warning: If you are planning to rap the route, you probably can't pull the rope from the top of pitch 7 through the anchors of pitch 8. We had to build a intermediate anchor at the first bolt of pitch 8 to pull the rope. Maybe you can rap VE if you know what you're doing.
Here is a little bit of footage from Tradewinds.
Nettle's topo is great. The route is great. Lets not supertopo the beta for this route. Leave something for the imagination!! Have fun! ps: Do the last pitch of the Venturi to finish Tradewinds to the ridge. Its amazing.
Pitches 1, 4, 7, and 8 are very good, with enjoyable sections of continuous moves. The others are not. Be prepared to stay in touch with decomposing granite throughout and be careful what you pull on. A worthwhile route, but not "stellar" or "as good as alpine climbing gets!" (with due respect to the inarguable fact that all climbing is TOTALLY AWESOME).

Cast down your buckets where you are
At the 2006 CURE International Directors meetings in Nairobi, Rev. Francis Omondi told a story for which Booker T. Washington is credited. The story goes like this:
A ship lost at sea for many days suddenly sighted a friendly vessel. From the mast of the unfortunate vessel was seen a signal: "Water, water. We die of thirst." The answer from the friendly vessel at once came back: "Cast down your bucket where you are." A second time, the signal, "Water, send us water!" went up from the distressed vessel, and was answered: "Cast down your bucket where you are." A third and fourth signal for water was answered: "Cast down your bucket where you are." The captain of the distressed vessel, at last heeding the injunction, cast down his bucket and it came up full of fresh, sparkling water from the mouth of the Amazon River.
Apparently this ship lost at sea had drifted from the Atlantic Ocean into the Amazon River without realizing it, so the captain thought the water all around his ship was full of salt.
When told by Washington, this story wonderfully illustrated the opportunities for the people of the United States to seize the chance to empower all those left standing to work toward a new society after a horrible and devastating civil war. In a different context and time in history, this story's point has informed CURE International in its efforts to fulfill its mission. The ability and need to recognize the resources at hand has been embraced and cultivated to the extent possible within our context. It is too easy for organizations similar in scope and focus of CURE to look cart blanche to expatriates to fill all their human resources needs and to neglect to consider the capable, local individuals who may be available.
For each hospital managed by CURE International, for each surgeon trained through the CURE Hydrocephalus initiative, and for each program within CURE Clubfoot Worldwide (CCW), medical training is key to our mission. Local physicians, surgeons, nurses, and other clinicians are taught through on-the-job mentoring, in the classroom with hands-on training, and in residency/fellowship style teaching. We engage experts to help create new experts local to the healthcare enterprise, so that those new experts can do the same in the future.
It is a simple plan but not an easy one. Good intentions and raising money are often not enough. Administrative capacity coupled with business acumen and leadership will-power are all part of the recipe we have seen work. Confidence with humility and prayer accompanied by hard work are also necessary components for receiving the blessings of success.
I was privileged to help start and run the first CURE International hospital. In 1997, Dr. Joseph Theuri and Mr. Peter Kyalo were the first two local hires for that hospital in Kenya. They initially served as surgeon-in-training and finance director, respectively. Since then, Dr. Theuri has become a globally recognized expert in orthopedic surgery, in particular in the Ponseti method for treating clubfoot, and Peter Kyalo has ably served at CURE hospitals in Uganda, Malawi, Dominican Republic, Zambia, and Afghanistan in vital executive leadership and financial management roles critical to their specific timeline need. Over the course of time, both men have received proper degrees – in orthopedic surgery and in business administration, respectively – from internationally recognized, African-based institutions.
There are others who are part of the tapestry of talent for the ongoing ministry of CURE International who are now experts in their own right through elevating their capacity for good work through continued collaboration. There are too many for me to name, but I list a few here better known to me: Dr. Nyengo Mkandawire in Blantyre, Malawi; Dr. Francis Niiryo in Addis, Ethiopia; Dr. John Mugamba in Mbale, Uganda; Mrs. Aracely Salgado Pardes in San Pedro Sula, Honduras; Ms. Christine Kalamo in Nairobi, Kenya; Mrs. Atula Jamir in Delhi, India; Dr. Femi Bankole in Lagos, Nigeria; and Dr. Rezina Hamid in Dhaka, Bangladesh. Since its inception, CURE International has sought out and fostered collaborations and collegial partnerships between peoples from different educational backgrounds, cultures, languages, and geographic locales. This philosophy has allowed me and other CURE colleagues to work with and learn from experts we otherwise might not even meet. These attempts to grow future leaders or foster partnerships have not always been without difficulties or even failures, but when it works well, strong motivation exists to repeat the attempt.
I shudder to think how things might be now if back in 1997 we had not looked to Kyalo and Theuri to address the short-term needs of the time. In each of their cases, success was and still is, at least in part, a result of humble confidence and prayerful hard work. They helped create a course that has been repeated often within CURE International hospitals and programs – a course toward generation and constitution of capable resources through recognizing, empowering, and teaching local individuals to better themselves for expanded service and responsibilities in the future.

Reload the page and try again.
A A+F Overall Experience: So far I have really enjoyed the atmosphere and the individual attention that I know I may receive at my school. The library is great for studying and the campus is very easy to navigate as well.
A A+F Career Services: They have been very helpful in helping me to find what I wish to do with the rest of my life.
A A+F Tuition & Financial Aid: The financial aid is phenomenal! There was a very nice scholarship that was awarded to me in high school for taking a dual credit course. They are very helpful if you have received good grades in high school, and are very generous with financial aid.
A A+F Academic Flexibility: Carl Sandburg is great about being flexible with my schedule. I chose my classes based around my needs, and they have worked with me to find courses that will all transfer to my next four year university.
C A+F Online Courses: The online courses are great because you can take them at basically your own pace. It's great being able to take a test whenever you feel like it or to study on your own as opposed to doing everything the way the professor structuring your work. That being said, I also think peer-to-peer interaction is great and I prefer the classroom experience for the face-to-face interaction. I enjoy having a close relationship with my professor.
A A+F Academic Experience: I am not majoring in anything specific at Carl Sandburg, but I hear that the Criminal Justice program there is very reputable. I am currently focusing on getting my prerequisite classes out of the way before transferring next fall to Quincy University and so far they have been very helpful. I will have four classes this semester, which is a decent amount of school work, but I am determined to achieve straight A's and I know Carl Sandburg will be very helpful along the way.
A A+F Academic Experience: Carl Sandburg offers a wide range of courses to take. I have heard wonderful things about the Spanish instructor and look forward to having class with her. The nice thing about this school is that no matter what class you take, you will always receive individual help so it makes the program really helpful.
A A+F Campus Resources: The view of the campus at Carl Sandburg College is very manicured and modern. I think there is a lot of thought put into the layout of the school. The fitness center is very effective and nice. The library is always there when you need it, and it is very quiet and comforting for studying. The campus activities are open to all students, and the campus itself is very welcoming.
A A+F Campus Resources: The wireless at the school of Carl Sandburg College is wonderful. The computer labs are also very helpful, and it is nice that you can bring your laptop to class and rely on the wireless connection provided. I can always rely on the campus computers or printers when I need them.
A A+F Facilities: Carl Sandburg College is a fantastic college to attend if you are like me and have graduated high school early and are looking for a community college to jumpstart you into college before a 4 year university. There is always a lot of help around and opportunities for tutoring if you need the help. It's very comforting to know that there is always someone around to put in extra work so that you understand something. That is a quality I prided my high school on, and I will continue to choose colleges such as Carl Sandburg and Quincy University that take the extra time to do just that.
B A+F Overall Experience: Honestly i am glad i started out at a junior college and am transferring to a four year.
B A+F Facilities: Our sports teams are great and pretty much everyone interacts with each other.
B A+F Academic Flexibility: School has been a great expierence and adventure and i am ready for 5 more years.
B A+F Tuition & Financial Aid: I think our tution is very fair and straight forward.
F A+F Online Courses: I took my online Nutrition class and i hated it!
C A+F Student Body: The athletes pretty much stick together and support one another but other then that the other clubs hang together.
C A+F Campus Resources: The people on campus are very helpful and very nice.
C A+F Campus Resources: It could use some updating and some more helpful people when you need help.
B A+F Academic Experience: All of the professors are very good to work with and are very helpful.
C A+F Academic Experience: Getting my associates in science.
B A+F Career Services: They are very helpful especially now that i am in Trio.
A A+F Academic Experience: I am currently in the LPN program. So far I have really enjoyed this program. There is a lot to it because we have theory, lab, and clinical. I know that all of these little things are just going to help me further my career. The workload is pretty reasonable for the class.
A+ A+F Campus Resources: I believe that Carl Sandburg College has a great athletic center. I have not really used it because I do not have the time to. I really like the fact though that it is open for me if I choose to use it. Also the library is a great place to go if I really need to look stuff up. Also, the activities that happen on campus are always great stress relievers.
A+ A+F Academic Experience: I have really enjoyed all of my teachers at Carl Sandburg college. I think that the curriculum is great and is very fair. I really appreciate the online classes because it allows me to still earn my degree while working and being able to help out my family.
A+ A+F Campus Resources: I think that the computer availability at my school is great. It is also very easy to access wifi which helps me out a lot with my schooling since some of my classes are online. Also, the printing is great because it really helps me out with the nursing program.

A fantasy-prone transvestite who is looking to make the leap to transsexual status imagines that he is the star of a lavish universe punctuated by elaborate musical numbers in director Ramon Salazar's stylish sophomore feature. Adolfo (Monica Cervera) is a die-hard romantic who currently shares a cramped apartment with Tomas (Miguel O'Dogherty). Though he was born a man, Adolfo prefers to go by the name Marieta, and is currently stashing away the money needed to shed the male appendage that is holding him back from full womanhood. Sex-change operations don't come cheap, though, and in order to raise said money Marieta must first land a decent-paying job. Though one successful interview does find Marieta hired as a railroad-station cleaner, the exhausted worker immediately falls asleep on the job and is quickly fired for doing so. It is in his sleep that Marieta truly comes alive, though, and after falling asleep during a conversation at a nearby market, the dreamland Ginger Rogers is pulled to safety by handsome stock boy El Reponedor (Pablo Puyol). As an intensely sexual relationship begins to develop between Marieta and El Reponedor, the aspiring transsexual discovers that even if he himself doesn't appreciate his one defining male characteristic, there are others out there who most certainly do. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Add Sexo Por Compasion to top of Queue
The healing power of the sexual act is the focus of this magic-realist entry, shot in Mexico and produced in Spain by writer-director Laura Mana. Evoking films as disparate as Wings of Desire, Like Water for Chocolate, and Breaking the Waves, Sexo Por Compasion switches from black and white to color as it relays the tale of Dolores (Elisabeth Margoni), a woman who begins a series of affairs after her husband walks out on her. She begins her trysts "out of compassion," as it were, for men who have been wronged by their women. As word of her carnal benevolence spreads, Dolores notices her small village changing: the invalid Leocadia (Leticia Huijada) is suddenly able to walk; a feuding couple makes amends; and Dolores' suitors donate money to the local church. Everything goes well until the local prostitutes accuse Dolores of noodling in on their business.

En Dag Til I Solen
Norwegian Bent Hamer earned himself quite a bit of fame with his first feature, Eggs. Carrying on the burlesque style of the first film, he tells the story of Almar, a young Norwegian sailor whose gold watch, of great sentimental value, has been broken. While waiting for repairs in a remote Spanish town, he meets a number of unusual characters: Windy, an Australian seafarer with unusual experiences, real or imaginary; Marta, a beautiful Spanish girl; Martha's bizarre grandfather; and two old watchmakers who are painfully methodical. It seems to Almar that real time has also stopped when his watch did. En Dag Til I Solen is an offbeat comedy which is highly entertaining. ~ Gönül Dönmez-Colin, Rovi

Live Flesh

This Pedro Almodóvar melodrama examines how several lives are changed by a single gunshot. Adapting the novel Live Flesh by British mystery author Ruth Rendell, Almodóvar has given the material a Spanish makeover with added political thrust. Beginning in 1970 in Franco's Madrid, when a prostitute (Penelope Cruz) gives birth to a son, Victor, the story leaps forward to contemporary Madrid. Wealthy diplomat's daughter Elena (Francesca Neri) is watching Luis Buñuel's The Criminal Life of Archibaldo de La Cruz (1955) while waiting for the arrival of her heroin dealer, and she buzzes Victor (Liberto Rabal) (with whom she made a date, then forgot about him) into the building. In the confusion that follows, two cops, David (Javier Bardem) and Sancho (Jose Sancho) arrive, and a gun goes off. The story then makes another leap to four years later: Victor is in prison, while Elena, no longer on drugs, runs a disadvantaged children's shelter and is married to wheelchair-bound David. After his release, Victor visits his mother's grave and spots David and Elena at the cemetery -- where David meets philandering wife Clara (Angela Molina). Fate interweaves the tangled interrelationships of all into a complex tapestry of destiny and guilt. Shown at 1997 London and New York film festivals. ~ Bhob Stewart, Rovi

Nadie Hablara de Nosotras Cuando Hayamos Muerto
This stylish, taut and unpredictable Spanish thriller is laced with black comedy and social consciousness as it tells the convoluted tale centering on alcoholic, unlucky Gloria Duque, an impoverished Mexico City prostitute. She is first seen performing fellatio on several crooks as they make another drug deal. Something goes awry and violence erupts and two corrupt drug agents and a local gangster die. Eduardo, an Argentine hit man survives and he does not kill Gloria. Just before one of the agents died, he handed Gloria a list of international money-laundering businesses and when things settle down she flies to Madrid, her hometown. There she sees her husband, a bullfighter in an irreversible coma, and begins living off of her mother-in-law's money. Doña Julia cares about her daughter-in-law and tries to get her to give up the booze, go to school and earn a respectable living, but Gloria is stubborn and insists on making it her own way. Unfortunately, her way is to rob a furrier, a front for one of the illicit businesses. Meanwhile, back in Mexico, Eduardo prepares to fly to Spain and complete his latest assignment: to kill Gloria and bring back the valuable list. Fortunately for her, just before Eduardo gets to her, Eduardo sees the light and turns to God instead of killing, but in the end, it is Doña Julia who holds the key to Gloria's final salvation. ~ Sandra Brennan, Rovi

Alicia En La España De Las Maravillas
Four different Alices wander through mazes constructed from 40 years of Spanish history in this post-Franco meditation. Loosely related to the "Alice" of Alice in Wonderland, in one episode of this film, Alice (who is clearly a metaphor for the Spanish people) is raped by some multinational corporations. Told in a somewhat confusing manner, especially for those unfamiliar with the nuances of Spain's history in the period between 1936 and 1975, this is director Jorge Feliu's first feature film. ~ Clarke Fountain, Rovi

Sometimes its okay to judge a book by its cover and a film by its title. This blood-soaked cheapo Spanish horror film is a good example. Starring popular creepshow star Paul Naschy, it is the grim tale of three twisted sisters, a one-handed brunette, a wheel-chair bound blonde and a nymphomaniacal redhead who bedevil a handsome but hapless handyman whom they hire to fix up their decaying old house. Doffing his shirt to flash his muscular, hairy chest at every opportunity, Naschy soon finds himself encountering a bevy of beautiful, dead, eyeless (they were torn out by the killer) women laying about. When not sleeping with the redhead, Naschy attempts to solve the mystery and save his life. Actually, the literal translation of the Spanish title Los Ojos Azules de la Muñeca Rota, "The Blue Eyes of the Broken Doll" is far more intriguing. ~ Sandra Brennan, Rovi

Las Melancolicas
This unwieldy Spanish drama tells the story of what happens in a conservative country region, sometime in the past, when the new director of a home for mentally deranged women attempts to bring more modern and humane methods to the management and treatment of his charges. The staff and the neighboring villagers and officials resist his changes, considering them no better than witchcraft. He has some success with his patients but cannot make headway with those who hired him. When he leads his charges through the village as a form of protest march, his days in charge are over. ~ Clarke Fountain, Rovi

Quick shot of the final prototype on the iPad. A demo video will follow.
Different abstractions of the postmark circle with new logotype.
So the "Lost & Found" type was a bit to logo-y. And it looked like the name of the magazine was Lost & Found, which it isn't.
I've been iterating the Return to Sender name to create a better logotype that fits the magazine. The last one is where I'm at now.
And then they were combined, and actually turned out pretty well.

ROCKFORD, Ill. – On Wednesday the Northern Athletics Conference released its All-Conference awards for the 2012 softball season. The Regents had two student-athletes selected by the coaches in the Northern Athletics Conference to receive honors. Junior second baseman Jossilyn Jones (Rockford, Ill./Guilford) received Second Team All-NAC honors and junior first baseman Nicole Lawler (Pearl City, Ill./Pearl City) was named to the NAC All-Sportsmanship Team. The two All-NAC selections are the most for the Regents since the 2009 season.
The second team selection for Jones is the highest All-NAC Honor earned by a Regent softball player since having a player on the first team in 2009. Jones was one of the top offensive players in the conference during her first season as a Regent. The junior led the NAC with 16 doubles and was just one double shy of tying the Rockford College record for doubles in a season. She also finished ninth in the NAC in walks (15) and on-base percentage (.450), tenth in slugging percentage (.560), twelfth in batting average (.379) and fifteenth in hits (44). In addition, Jones also led the Regents in at bats (116), runs scored (24), runs batted in (21) and total bases (65). The Rockford native was also extremely important to the Regents defensively starting not only at second base but also shortstop and catcher this year.
Nicole Lawler was selected to the NAC All-Sportsmanship Team. Lawler began the season injured and missed nearly half of the games this year. However, when the junior was healthy and inserted into the middle of the lineup she immediately produced for the Regents. In just 20 games Lawler hit .311 with a .426 slugging percentage, 4 doubles, 1 home run and 14 runs batted in.
