I look for a friend that's trustworthy and has a great personality. I look for these two things because I think it's important to have a friend you can trust and count on them to keep your secrets and not stab your back. I think I'm a good friend because whenever my friends need someone to be there for them, I'm always there.

I have filled two teachers' cars to the roof with supplies for their classes and my room is still too full.
This weekend, I sold my Cube system to one lucky lady who is actually going to be able to use it, so that is awesome.
Last week I sold a bunch of extra stock, a huge box of paper, and kits to one of my friends who took me up on an offer to come by my house and shop.
I donated a BUNCH of samples to charity.
I am giving away a ton of kits (today is the last day to enter the giveaway here).
Yesterday I went through my paper, which was once a staggering 100+ inches worth, and got it down to 36" of paper and cardstock. The last time I had that amount of paper was 2002. 2002!!! I now have an over 36" stack of paper I am sorting into themed boxes to sell on etsy.
Yes, I removed the crop room, moving those sturdy maple tables into my scrap room and removing the Ikea tables from my scrap room. I will still have crops but on a smaller scale and less frequently. I needed to reformat for my life and health. My desk/office was literally next to my bed and I never felt relaxed. Also, the lights from the computer and components kept me awake at night which is really unhealthy. And the working late at night, typing, kept Xaver awake. Also, I felt like I was just creating a huge mess in that space all the time and was embarrassed to have company over. Besides my desk, I have a couch and coffee table and after CHA, I plan to get a couple of comfy chairs too. This will be a nice meeting spot for when I have business visitors and will make my house not look like a warehouse when friends and family come over. I am working to really separate my "work" from my life and still work at home. So, to that end, I now have an office in my "formal" living room, my dining room is a dining room again, and I am moving out of my class supply closet.
Xaver set up a bank of cabinets along one wall in our garage for me to use for my bulk supplies, etsy product, and overflow. I am moving out of my class supply closet so he can create a mini-man cave in there. It is quite a ridiculously large "closet" - who puts a walk-in closet in the hallway? Well, apparently this builder did! LOL In addition to having his garage mostly back from me (I have stuff everywhere and now I am confined to certain areas in there) he also gets his own space to store his stuff. He is already trying to figure out how to get some outlets in there for all his electronics and toys.
I am gearing up for my online organizing class starting early next month, The Organized Crafter. I will be adding a module about my new space and how it differs from my old one. One of the key components to my philosophy is to rethink the way you buy, what you store, and how you use your stuff. I actually do what I say in the class. Just this year, I am doing it in a more intense way than ever!
My one little word for 2012 is "less". So far this year "less" is meaning more work, more achy backs, and more purging than ever but I can really see the light at the end of the tunnel. I feel much less of an emotional attachment to my "stuff" and I feel so much better for it. I don't feel so overwhelmed. I feel guilty for spending so much money (I figured the paper I purged yesterday was worth over $3000 retail) and I think this is a good exercise in helping me stay controlled at CHA. I have yet to purchase any craft supplies this year, save items I actually used to make a project immediately, like adhesive. And that feels really good. That is how it is supposed to be.

Oops, Jim... Accidentally sent you "something" not sure what while I was trying to send you fuel additives! Sorry! Hope it's something you can use.
Speaking of accidents... Now that the air ship is back, here is a warning for everyone: last time I decided to purchase what I thought was ten (10) barrels of 150 fuel for $10, what I actually got was one barrel of 150 fuel for $10. Boy, did I complain to GI for false advertising! Watch out.

Has anyone ever gotten a really good building from the airship? I have always gone for the mystery item. Got a golden frog this time. It makes all the income from my buildings ready to collect immediately. I'll have to buy a good building before I use it!

I got an Inconvertible Coin today that increases revenue from commercial buildings for 3hrs. I bought a Dolphinarium last time which is okay but it's a 2x2 building and with the price of 'land' . . . I wish the mystery buildings weren't so expensive. It's so tempting!
And now that we can no longer fly our sleighs, my Christmas Shop dropped 7 gifts today. Wish there was a way to get rid of the items we no longer need or can use. My warehouse is full of useless stuff - at least it's useless to me.
Seems like the zeppelin timer has been re-activated for me, so I'm trying to get all the items in time (1d 22h) for my Airship dock. If anyone could help me with some of the items it'd be awesome! Been flying for 15/20 times to the north pole station and didn't get one sand bag
I need (translated from Dutch): (Blue) Landing Rope (1), Pulley (4) and Sandbag (3)
Any help would be appreciated a lot, and of course i'll be sending back what i can find in your sig. Linked to FB today for the profile picture to match the avatar, so hopefully it'll update soon.

Topura America Fastener, Inc. Celebrates Expansion Ribbon Cutting
Contact: Jessica M.L. Thompson, Communications Director 270-781-3200; email@example.com
BOWLING GREEN, KY-Topura America Fastener, Inc. celebrated the completion of the construction of their expanded facility in Bowling Green, Ky., today during a ceremony led by the Bowling Green Area Chamber of Commerce.
In June 2010, Governor Steve Beshear announced that Topura America Fastener unveiled plans to add 30 new jobs in phases over the next three years and would invest $9.34 million as a result of the expansion and continual improvement in processes and technology. The company added 96,000 square feet to its existing 71,966 square-foot facility, installed new equipment and made other improvements to increase manufacturing capabilities and improve product flow.
Darrell Oakley, Executive Vice President, stated, "Topura America Fastener is grateful and proud to be associated with local and state leaders who share the same vision. A vision with a core designed to promote development that translates into return for our community and state. The incentive resources necessary to execute a 96,000 square foot expansion in challenging economic conditions were available, accessible and beneficial."
Warren County Judge Executive Michael Buchanon and Bowling Green Mayor Joe Denning also congratulated the company during the ceremony. Judge Buchanon said, "We congratulate Topura on the completion of their expansion and extend our appreciation to your company and employees for making an additional investment in South Central Kentucky."
Mayor Denning said, "Topura has been an excellent corporate citizen since locating here in 1987. The community has been excited to watch this company grow, and we look forward to your continued work here in Bowling Green."
The Kentucky Economic Development Finance Authority (KEDFA) preliminarily approved Topura America Fastener for tax incentives up to $675,000 through the Kentucky Business Investment program. The incentive can be earned over a 10-year period through corporate income tax credits and wage assessments.
KEDFA also approved the company for up to $75,000 in tax benefits through the Kentucky Enterprise Initiative Act, an incentive program that allows approved companies to recoup Kentucky sales and use tax on the cost of construction materials, building fixtures and equipment used for research and development.
In accordance with the new state incentive programs, the City of Bowling Green provided their financial support to this project in occupational tax abatement for a 10-year period. Through their participation, the City helped maximize the state incentives for Topura America Fastener, Inc.
Rodney Rogers, chairman of the Bowling Green Area Chamber of Commerce, also congratulated Topura America Fastener. "This company's project was one of the 15 expansion announcements that the Chamber participated in during 2010. The Chamber focuses significant efforts to retain our local companies and help them expand. Topura's celebration today is an example of what the Chamber's efforts can do."
In 2010, the Chamber's economic development staff participated in more than 350 existing industry calls across South Central Kentucky, gathering information from and lending support to local companies. Last year's 15 expansion projects announced a capital investment of more than $220 million and 1,376 jobs that will be created over the next several years.
More information on Topura America Fastener can be found at www.topuraaf.com.

In a real emergency (if everything went to hell), gas could be obtained with a siphon (or a hammer & nail) and an old coffee can from abandon cars (Mad Max style). During the LA riots, they would not sell gasoline to anyone in a container (it had to go directly into your car or truck gas tank). The authorities were trying to prevent the rioters from making molotov cocktails. I guess the people who riot in LA do not realize that if you poke a hole in the tank of a car, gas comes spilling out. It is not like people who would break store windows, burn cars and steal TVs would have anything against putting a hole in someone's gas tank."A small generator that can run for days on a small amount of fuel is better than a big generator that you don't have fuel for."That's my thinking, too. For disaster preparedness, I've got a 3000 watt portable generator that runs off unleaded gasoline to be able to run the fridge, a heater to keep the kids warm, some lights, just the basics with no frills. I figure I can always get unleaded gas, even if it means driving a few miles out of the disaster zone to fill up a couple 5 gallon cans. Plus I like the low cost of admission and ease of storage. The only thing I don't like about mine is that it's too heavy to move easily. If I had to do it again, I'd get one of the more portable Honda models. Granted, my solution wouldn't be sufficient for a Planet of the Apes scenario. But if that happened, I figure I'd have bigger problems than how to run the fridge.
Posted 24 June 2010 - 02:48 PM
As part of our disaster planning with the county we have two 6000 whatever generators to run a small community hospital. FYI.Trying to determine the best overall make, model and fuel option for powering my residence in the event of a long term blackout. Need to run 2 fridges and 2 freezers and would like to power some lights and my pool pump periodically as well. Don't want gasoline and am thinking a natural gas unit might be the better option since it will be permanently installed near my pool pump. Determining the size is hard for me because I am not an electrician and wouldn't know an amp from a watt. I figure they make em big enough for hospitals so there should be one I could use to power my 4 bdrm home as effectively as SDG&E does now. Anyone got a firm handle on this stuff? If we had a major power outage, the natural gas still flows right? Or am I wrong?
Posted 24 June 2010 - 02:55 PM
Probably like ShooterJohn said, the gas lines end up with cracks and leaks, therefore shut off the gas.Did they say why? I would really like to know since NG has been the only thing historically unaffected by major disasters in the past.

Propane tanks can be filled w/o electricy...no?
Actually, if it's a stationary tank it would have to be filled from a delivery truck which uses a PTO driven liquid pump (or vapor compressor). Another way to transfer smaller quantities is to "sweat" the propane from one tank to another, making sure one tank is a bit warmer than the other and then opening the valves. The liquid will be drawn into the cooler tank due to pressure differences. When I used to haul propane I sometimes acquired old portable propane tanks that still had fuel in them but did not have the newer OPD valves. I would "sweat" the remaining liquid into my newer tanks by leaving the old tank sitting out in the sun and running cool water over the newer tank. I never could get every last drop but it still worked surprisingly well. Hypothetically you could "sweat" a gallon or two into your storage tank, then fire the generator & provide electricity to an electric LPG pump (that you would have to provide along with an extra hose & brass fittings), but in the end you still would have to get a delivery truck out to your house which may not be possible under chatastrophic conditions. For filling portable tanks without power, just bleed out all of the pressure. The pressure from the main storage tank will push liquid into your portable and cracking the bleeder screw will keep the liquid flowing without equalizing the pressure between both tanks. Most bulk storage tanks have anywhere from 60-130psi in them.Nope, you have to have electricity to run the pump to fill the small tank from the big one. Diesel is the way to go.

My daughter absolutely LOVES this bike! She is tall for a girl, so it was perfect for a beginner rider and her long legs.The issue I had with it, you cannot find replacement tubes or tires. She got a hole in the tube almost right away and I searched high and low for a replacement. Because it is not a frame issue, the warranty will not cover it. I went to several bike shops, box stores and online looking with zero luck. By the time I was able to fix the hole myself, she out grew the bike.I'm giving my review a 3 simply for the tire issue. The bike itself is great, sturdy and perfect to learn on. But, if I had known ahead of time I could not replace the tires, I'd have bought the next size up.

About Me Gifter
This is the smallest bike I have ever seen. We wanted to buy a bike for our almost 2 year old granddaughter but she is very petite and can not reach the pedals of the 12 inch bikes. We were so pleased to find this 10 inch Minnie Mouse bike. Not only does she love Minnie Mouse, she thinks she is hot stuff on her little bike and she is able to reach the pedals. We are still trying to teach her how to use the pedals, but she isn't trying too hard since her grandpa is pushing her all over the place on her new bike! She loves it and it fits her perfectly.
Hot Dog.. what a cute bike.

"Medium red-ruby. Candied aromas of cherry, flowers and spices. A lush, sweet fruit bomb with good length and immediate appeal, and none of the banana and burnt rubber qualities that put many tasters off pinotage, especially in this price range." 88 Points International Wine Cellar
In 1993, hospitality industry veteran Ken Forrester and his wife Teresa purchased the historic Scholtzenhof estate, nestled at the base of the Helderberg in Stellenbosch. Originally established in 1689 as Zandberg, the property is one of the oldest wine farms in the Cape. Ken enlisted the help of his winemaker friend Martin Meinert in replanting and revitalizing the vineyards, with an aim to craft a white wine that could rival any in the world! And so it was that Ken Forrester Vineyards was established, with a focus on Chenin Blanc production.
South Africa A long history of growing grapes and making wine, but less of a history on exporting it, and even lesser on the quality aspect. At the turn of the century (1900, that is), a surplus of wine in South Africa created a hierarchy of cooperatives, the biggest and best known being KWV. This organization seemed to favor quantity over quality and had most...Read More About South Africa
Pinotage(Pee-noh-TAHJ) South Africa Creation Pinotage is all South Africa. A crossing between Pinot Noir and Cinsaut in the early 1900's created this national variety and the South Africans have worked for decades to tame the grape. Luckily, winemakers discovered how to turn this variety into high-quality wine and their results are delicious. ...Read More About Pinotage

Puberty is that time in a child's life when the body goes through changes to become an adult. It is important (and in the long run comforting for a child) if parents talk with their child about puberty before these changes begin. If a child is not prepared for these physical changes, he may be frightened by them and may wonder if something is wrong with his body. Children need to know what to expect and also that these changes are perfectly normal.
Puberty usually starts earlier in girls than in boys — between the ages of 8 and 13 for girls and between the ages of 9 and 14 for boys. With each child developing at his own rate, the actual age for an individual child varies, depending on many factors, including sex, family history and ethnic background. Because of the wide range of ages for starting puberty, parents need to remind children that it is normal, and that they are normal, whether they start puberty early or late. This can be difficult for some children to understand when their friends are not experiencing these same changes at the same time. No one wants to look different!
Parents should talk with their child about puberty (or at least mention it) before the age of 8 or 9. Even if they are not beginning to show signs, some of their friends may be starting puberty. Schools often invite parents and students for talks about puberty in the fourth or fifth grade. These talks provide general information and are meant to help you have more personal discussions with your child at home.
During puberty, which typically lasts for four or five years, natural substances in the body called hormones cause the physical and emotional changes. A summary of these changes is presented below. Be sure to talk with your child about the changes that occur to both boys and girls. Parents often find it helpful to give their child books about puberty that he can read in private. Your local library or bookstore likely has several different titles available.
A few children start puberty either very early or very late. Although this is usually not due to any medical problem, be sure to mention it to your child's doctor if a girl is showing any signs of puberty before age 8 or a boy is showing any signs before age 9. Likewise, check with your child's doctor if there are no signs of puberty at all in a girl by age 13 or a boy by age 14.
Physical changes for girls
For most girls, the first sign of puberty is breast growth, which starts with a small round lump (breast bud) under one or both nipples. The lump may be tender and will gradually grow, along with the dark area around the nipples (areola). As the breasts grow, it is common for one side to be larger than the other, though they usually even out before reaching their final size and shape.
During puberty, the whole body changes shape and size. Girls gain weight and grow taller, although at first, the arms, legs, hands and feet may grow faster than the rest of the body, making them feel somewhat awkward or clumsy. The storage of body fat changes, too so that the hips, buttocks and legs get larger while the waist seems to get smaller. Hair grows in the pubic area, on the legs and under the arms. Glands in the skin make more oil and sweat, so body odor and acne can be noticed. In girls, the peak growth period (in height, weight, fat and muscle) occurs about one year after puberty has begun.
Usually about two years after the start of breast development, most girls will begin to have periods (menstruate). On average, in the United States, girls get their first period (menarche) around age 12 and a half; however, the age varies and could be as early as 9 to 10 years or as late as 17 years old. Many girls have a clear or white discharge from their vagina for up to a year before they get their first period. A girl's first few menstrual periods tend to be irregular, until the ovaries mature and start to produce eggs regularly.

Physical changes for boys
On average, boys enter puberty about one year later than girls. The first sign of puberty in a boy is usually that the testicles and scrotum (sac that holds the testicles) get bigger. Then the penis starts to grow, at first longer and then wider. The scrotum also gets darker, or redder, and more wrinkled.
During puberty, a boy's whole body also changes shape and size. Boys gain a lot of weight and develop muscles. Their shoulders get wider and they grow taller, although at first, the arms, legs, hands and feet may grow faster than the rest of the body, making them feel somewhat awkward or clumsy. Hair grows under the arms, on the legs and face, and in the pubic area. Hair also grows on the chest for some, but not all boys. Glands in the skin make more oil and sweat, so body odor and acne can be noticed. For boys, the peak growth period (in height, weight, fat and muscle) occurs about two years after puberty has begun.
As boys go through puberty and the voice box (larynx) gets bigger, their voice begins to change, eventually sounding lower or deeper than it was during childhood. This may start with squeaking or cracking of the voice, which can be embarrassing for some boys.
The increase in hormone levels during puberty causes boys to have more frequent erections (the penis gets straight, bigger and hard as it fills with blood), which is telling the body to start making sperm. Once sperm production has started, then semen, which is made up of sperm and fluids, may be released through the penis (ejaculation) during an erection. Boys sometimes ejaculate while they are sleeping. This so-called wet dream, or nocturnal (at night) emission, is perfectly normal and usually goes away as a boy gets older. Many doctors use the age at which boys ejaculate for the first time (usually about one year after the increase in size of the testicles) as the sign that a boy has hit puberty (similar to menarche for a girl).
Emotional changes
In addition to these physical changes, puberty brings with it many emotional changes. Your child is developing intense friendships, especially with members of the same sex, he cares deeply about what other people think, and he wants to be liked and accepted by his friends. Your child now may want to spend more time with friends and less time with family. This can be a difficult time of adjustment for parents, who are used to being the center of their child's life. Since this an important step toward maturity, parents should try to respect their child's growing need for independence and privacy.
Many pre-teens feel anxious or self-conscious about the physical changes of puberty, especially when comparing themselves with others. It is important for parents to reassure their child that while he and his friends will grow at different rates, they will eventually catch up with one another. Resist any urge to tease your child about the changes associated with puberty, even if the teasing seems harmless or good-natured, because it may cause embarrassment and damage self-esteem in the long run.
During puberty, many parents also notice their child's moods change quickly and often. One minute your child may say you're the greatest parent ever, and the next, you're the worst. One day your child may insist that he be allowed to make his own decisions and the next day, he is begging for your help. Although it can be frustrating, parents need to know that these mood swings are normal and are probably related to changes in hormone levels in the body. Do your best to support, encourage and guide your child though this new and different, but exciting and important time.

The hard-partying son of L.A.'s most powerful media magnate realizes his true calling as a crime-fighting vigilante after his father perishes under suspicious circumstances in this big-screen adaptation of the popular radio serial, comic book, film, and television series originated by
Lone Ranger
creators Fran Striker and George W. Trendle. James Reid (Tom Wilkinson) single-handedly built a media empire, but unfortunately his industrious genes weren't passed down to his son, Britt (Seth Rogen). Irresponsible, slovenly, and frequently inebriated, Britt is shaken out of his drunken stupor upon receiving word that his father has died. Shortly after Britt learns that he has inherited the family business, he forges an unlikely alliance with Kato (Jay Chou), one of his father's star employees, and together the pair hatch a plan to pose as villains in order to get close to the city's most high-powered criminals. Outfitting their indestructible custom-made car,
The Black Beauty
, with the absolute latest in technology and high-tech weaponry -- and arming themselves to the teeth with an array of gadgets that would make Batman blush -- the masked duo hit the streets as The Green Hornet and Kato. As the public's fascination with the mysterious crime fighters hits an all-time high, Britt's resourceful secretary, Lenore Case (Cameron Diaz), helps them to gather intelligence on notorious underworld kingpin Benjamin Chudnofsky (Christoph Waltz), a criminal who holds the entire city in the palm of his hand, and represents everything that Britt's father fought against. Little do the Green Hornet and Kato realize that Chudnofsky is already on to them, and that he's not about to go down without a fight.

Shaolin Soccer and Kung Fu Hustle director Stephen Chow returns to the helm for this sci-fi comedy about a struggling single father whose quest to find the perfect toy yields out-of-this-world results. Ti (Chow) is a poor construction worker who breaks his back to ensure that his young son Dicky (Xu Jiao) can stay enrolled in an exclusive private school. But while Ti does everything possible to give his son the opportunities that he never had, Dicky still feels like a classroom reject due to his tattered clothes and lack of the latest toys. Dicky's classmates all play with the coolest and most expensive gadgets that money can buy, so how is a kid who gets his toys from the local junkyard ever supposed to fit in? One day, while scrounging through the trash heap in search of a new toy, Ti discovers a mysterious orb and brings it straight back to Dicky. Though at first the "CJ7" appears to be little more than an unidentifiable oddity, it proves to be much, much more once the young boy starts to play with it. This isn't your average action figure, but a living "pet" with extraordinary powers. Realizing that his new toy may be just the thing to help him fit in with his demanding classmates, Dicky brings the CJ7 to school with him in order to show it off and have some fun. But the CJ7 has its own ideas about how to have fun, and it isn't long before the situation at school gets hopelessly out of hand. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

International action star Jackie Chan shifts gears in Bolei Cheun, in which martial arts are put on the back burner and romantic comedy is in the forefront. Bu (Shu Qi), the daughter of a pair of Taiwanese restaurant owners, one day finds a bottle floating near the docks with a message inside. The note reads, "Do you know I'm waiting for you?" and is signed "Albert," with an address in Hong Kong attached. Bu, convinced this is her destiny, flies to Hong Kong to meet the mysterious Albert, only to find he's a gay cosmetologist (Tony Leung Chiu-wai) who intended for the note to be found by his ex-boyfriend. But Albert is understanding and lets Bu stay at his apartment. Albert lets Bu tag along for a photo shoot he's working and she meets multi-millionaire C.N. Chan (Jackie Chan) when she helps him ward off a gang of toughs hired by L. W. Lo (Emil Chow), who became Chan's enemy in their schooldays and is still out to make his life miserable. Chan is single and a bit lonely, and quickly finds himself attracted to Bu. Bu discovers she likes Chan as well, but things become sticky when her boyfriend flies in from Taiwan to find out what she's done -- and Lo sends an American martial arts champion out to kidnap Chan's new love. While Bolei Cheun does feature a few sequences displaying Jackie Chan's unique fighting style and acrobatic dexterity, the emphasis is on the story and characters rather than the action, with Chan in a rare romantic lead, Leung cast against type and Shu Qi dominating most of the film's first act. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Superstar comedian Stephen Chow continues with his streak of successful of his courtroom-themed comedies, like Justice, My Foot and Hail to the Judge, with this yarn set in 1899.

The God of Cookery
Fans of the Iron Chef and kung-fu films may enjoy this flamboyant and outrageous comedy starring flamboyant Hong Kong funnyman Stephen Chiau. Shifting tones from surreal to hilarious and often combining both as the film progresses, its schizophrenic sensibilities and irreverent humor lend to its bizarre kung-fu film meets master chef film story line. Though the film parodies many standard elements and characterizations present in Hong Kong films, viewers need not be familiar with these staples to enjoy the film's absurd and razor sharp humor. Chiau plays the character of the overwhelmingly despicable and weasely God of Cookery to the hilt, gaining power-mad pleasure by humiliating and embarrassing any and all whose culinary skills he sees as lesser (or greater for that matter) than his own, until his inevitable fall from grace after a shady business deal. Playing the role of a pathetic has-been with equal zeal, Chiau actually manages to mold the previous monster into a sympathetic has-been, making his efforts to regain his rightful title an amusing and hilarious uphill battle. The final exhilarating culinary face-off -- in which he struggles against his former protégé turned backstabbing adversary -- must be seen to be believed, becoming a hyper-stylized battle in which egos flare and spatulas fly. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

A Chinese Odyssey, Part 2: Cinderella
The second part of Hong Kong filmmaker Jeff Lau's extravagant visualization of the classic novel Xi You Ji (Journey to the West), this follow-up to the same year's A Chinese Odyssey, Part One -- Pandora's Box continues the fantasy-driven story of the introduction of Buddhism to China. This installment takes up where the original left off, with Joker (Stephen Chow) stranded five centuries in the past and falling for a Spider Web immortal called Lin Zixia (Athena Chu Yun), who is actually part of Buddha's lampwick-given flesh. The other part of the wick is Zixia's evil sister, Lin Qingxia (Ada Choi), who is just one of many enemies whom Joker must face and defeat in his efforts to change the past and save the dying Pak Jing-jing (Karen Mok), who was poisoned by the 30th Madam (Lam Kit Ying) in the first film. The film's most spectacular invention, other than its zombies, giant spiders, and so forth, is King Bull, who has an army of animal-headed mutant warriors and his own personal cadre of oversized bloodsucking fleas. Superbly choreographed by Ching Siu-tung, the film also contains a number of inside jokes, including several at the expense of Asian pinup queen Brigitte Lin (whose real name is Lin Ching-hsia, thus the sound-alike Lin Qingxia character) and a delightfully flamboyant production design by James Leung. Ng Man-tat co-stars with Law Kar-ying. ~ Robert Firsching, Rovi

A Chinese Odyssey
The famous Chinese novel Xi You Ji (also known as Journey to the West) was the basis for Hong Kong filmmaker Jeff Lau's flamboyant and rewarding two-part fantasy about the introduction of Buddhism to China. The film, gorgeous as it is, is primarily a parody of its source material, starring comedian Stephen Chiau as both Sun the Monkey King and his later incarnation, Joker. The story begins as the Goddess of Happiness banishes the Longevity Monk (Law Kar-ying) and his followers from Heaven because the Monkey King tried to eat the Monk and gain immortality. They are all sentenced to reincarnation as mortal humans, and the Monkey King becomes Joker 500 years later. Joker doesn't know that he was once the Monkey King, and is preoccupied by his romances with two immortal females, Pak Jing-jing (Karen Mok) and the 30th Madam (Yammie Nam). Jing-jing had been rejected by the Monkey King centuries before, but falls for Joker only to get poisoned by her sister, who is extremely jealous and wants him for herself. Aware that Jing-jing may soon die, Joker uses the Pandora's Box to travel back in time, but ends up lost in the world of 500 years earlier. Ng Man-tat co-stars with director Lau (as "the Grapes") and Athena Chu Yan. The same year's A Chinese Odyssey, Part Two -- Cinderella continues the story. ~ Robert Firsching, Rovi

At one time there was a special genre of Hong Kong entertainment films which focused on gamblers and their like. In 1989, that genre was decisively revived thanks to the very successful release God of Gamblers. In that earlier film, among his other accomplishments, the master gambler played by Chow Yun Fat managed to pass on many of his skills and abilities to a younger associate, played by Andy Lau. In this one, Lau's character, now a master gambler in his own right, is being pestered by a young man (Stephen Chow) with intermittently available psychokinetic powers (the ability to move objects with the mind). However, not only is that ability only available to the boy when he's in love, but there's a lot more to the gambling business than the ability to cheat occasionally. They get into enough trouble to keep the story moving briskly, and this comic action film did well enough to warrant a sequel. ~ Clarke Fountain, Rovi

Stephen Chow's prodigious skills with guns and martial arts take center stage once again in this successful action film from Hong Kong filmmaker Gordon Chan. Chow stars as Star Chow, a cop who plays by his own rules, often endangering the other members of his team as well as the success of their missions. When a practice drill goes awry, Star is punished by the commissioner (Barry Wong) by being reassigned as an undercover agent at the local high school, his task being to locate the student who stole the commissioner's favorite gun. Naturally, there's a beautiful guidance counselor (Sharla Cheung) to provide some romantic interest, and -- just as naturally -- things take a downward turn when she discovers Star's true identity. In the meantime, Star locates the commissioner's gun, as well as a cache of stolen arms belonging to a triad gangster. The entire situation comes to a head during the school's open house, with a specially constructed maze serving as the backdrop for the final gun battle. Filled with action and humor, the film's success led to a pair of even more entertaining sequels. Ng Man-tat co-stars with Roy Cheung, Gabriel Wong, and Paul Chun. ~ Robert Firsching, Rovi

This low-budget knockoff of God of Gamblers succeeds primarily due to an exuberant star-making turn from Stephen Chiau as Shing, a rube from the Chinese mainland who comes to Hong Kong to visit his uncle, Blackie Tat (Ng Man-tat). Blackie isn't thrilled about his nephew's visit until he learns that Shing has the ability to see through things, a sort of X-ray vision. As a gambler, it doesn't take Blackie long to realize that Shing's abilities could make him a great deal of money, but news travels quickly and Shing is soon torn between two powerful gamblers who want him to be their proxy in a big competition. Taiwanese kingpin Chan Chung gets Shing first, so his Hong Kong rival, Hung Kong (Paul Chun), tries to kill him. Shing survives the attempt, but Hung manages to stop him from competing by kidnapping Chan's pretty bodyguard, Yee-mong (Sharla Cheung), who has won the young man's heart. The film is filled with action as well as humorous takeoffs on everything from Fist of Fury to A Better Tomorrow. In an amusing twist of fate, this knockoff actually made more money than its model, and was followed by a sequel audaciously titled God of Gamblers II.

Just like many Asian countries, Slovenia's cuisine is strongly influenced by its surrounding nations. Some of its culinary delights include zganci which is roast buckwheat flour garnished with lard with cracklings, jota which is a boiled dish with smoked pork and brodet, a Mediterranean fish stew.
If you are looking for a restaurant, the word you need to look for (or ask for if you are feeling ambitious) is 'restavracija' which is your average restaurant. But if you want to dine out more like a local you will have to find a 'gostilna'.
Eating out in Slovenia, if you have a few Tolar (Slovenia's currency) to spare spend it on some wine as this is where some of the best wines in the world are produced. Today, Slovenia has a total of 38 wine varieties grown in 14 wine districts.

There Will Be Blood [DVD]
Director : Paul Thomas Anderson
Screenplay : Paul Thomas Anderson (based on the novel Oil! by Upton Sinclair)
MPAA Rating : R
Year of Release : 2007
Stars : Daniel Day-Lewis (Daniel Plainview), Paul Dano (Paul Sunday / Eli Sunday), Kevin J. O'Connor (Henry), Ciaran Hinds (Fletcher), Dillon Freasier (H.W.), Russell Harvard (Adult H.W. Plainview)
For the first 15 minutes of Paul Thomas Anderson's There Will Be Blood, not a word is spoken. We are brought into the film with a slowly dawning shot of three hilltops that emerges along with a dissonant roar of music by Radiohead's Jonny Greenwood, which is then immediately countered by the sharp, metallic sound of metal hitting rock. Deep inside a hole we are introduced to Daniel Plainview (Daniel Day-Lewis), a grizzled silver prospector in 1898 who accidentally discovers oil instead. He then becomes an "oil man," setting up an oil-drilling business and making money hand over fist. His appearance is cleaned up--that burly beard is replaced by a well-manicured moustache--but that driven man we first met in the hole is still the same.
In those wordless 15 opening minutes, Anderson sets up both the narrative and the world in which it will inhabit--a world of competition, danger, and sudden, vicious violence from above. It's an audacious beginning, and it sets up brilliantly the epic story to come, which will span several decades in charting Plainview's ascension to the top of the capitalist ladder. Anderson matches the scope of the story, which is loosely based on Upton Sinclair's 1927 novel Oil!, with a spectacular visual approach that reminds you of just how powerful widescreen cinematography can be. The compositions are frequently exquisite--painterly, without being static, which is partially why this lengthy story moves so fluidly despite being comprised primarily of setpieces separated by long periods of off-screen time.
Anderson has worked in the epic mode before; his breakthrough film Boogie Nights (1997) spanned a dozen years and just as many characters in its depiction of the seedy world of pornography in the 1970s, while Magnolia (1999) was tightly controlled in terms of time, but grandiose in its interweaving of multiple character arcs. His last film, 2002's Adam Sandler art-comedy Punch-Drunk Love, was a purposeful act of misdirection, but I think it gave Anderson just the respite he needed before immersing himself in another epic tale, this one of literal Biblical proportions. Despite its long running time and ambitious narrative, There Will Be Blood is a deeply intimate film, even as it constantly forces you to understand the pathos of a torturous main character who steadfastly refuses to talk about himself, yet can't help but reveal himself (in this respect Day-Lewis's Oscar-winning performance, which has been championed for its power and grandiosity, is actually more subtle than it seems).
As the title suggests, There Will Be Blood is a story of mounting tension and conflict, both emotional and physical. Dread is its primary currency, and it infuses every scene, both the hellish and the idyllic. One of the film's most extraordinary sequences involves an oil well finally hitting the black gold, which erupts like a volcano and then catches fire, turning the grand discovery into a raging inferno that suggests the inherent volatility of exploration and discovery. Greenwood's score, which also borrows various motifs and bits from classical music, reflects this in its uncanny crescendos, which are reminiscent of Wendy Carlos and Rachel Elkind's electronic score in Stanley Kubrick's The Shining (1980).
The use of music is hardly the only comparison one can make to Kubrick's oeuvre; while Anderson, who tends to favor interweaving multi-character tapestries, has frequently been compared to Robert Altman (or derided as Altman Lite), here he seems to be navigating through the same icy backwaters of the human heart that tended to define Kubrick's most powerful films. Some have found There Will Be Blood to be lacking in humanity, the same criticism frequently leveled at Kubrick, but that's precisely the point. The film is a requiem for human decency, trampled beneath the onslaught of capitalism, progress, and a heightened sense of purpose that becomes a twisted justification for personal excess.
Hence the centrality of Daniel Plainview, a complex, often infuriating contradiction of a man who becomes the literal embodiment of the wages of sin. He's all ambition, but without any sense of genuine purpose; the complexity and artistry of Day-Lewis's performance becomes clear only when you realize that he's playing a shell with no core. Plainview defines himself as two things: an "oil man" and a "family man," both of which he wears as badges of honor and uses to ingratiate himself into whatever community in which he's mining. Both are misleading in a sense; he's an oil man only out of chance and circumstance, and his notions of family are strained at best. Early on he adopts the son of an oil worker killed at one of his sites, and then turns him into his "partner." Having a cute 8-year-old by his side gives him an edge in business dealings, but we also get the sense that it's Plainview's only means of staying connected with anything resembling a soul. This is reinforced when a stranger (Kevin J. O'Connor) claiming to be his long-lost brother appears one day, and Plainview takes him into the business.
The nature of the soul is at war in There Will Be Blood, and the primary conflict is between Plainview and a young preacher named Eli Sunday (Paul Dano), who wants to use the oil money to build a church. There is immediate animosity between the two men from the beginning, perhaps because they see too much of themselves in each other. While one is a man of money who professes no real spiritual belief and the other is a man of religion who literally beats the demons out of his congregation, Plainview and Eli are two sides of the same corrupt coin. There Will Be Blood is a portrait of Americana at its most despoiled (hence the emphasis on oil, the dirtiest and most profitable of enterprises), and Anderson's conflicting protagonists represent opposite poles of corruption: secular capitalist greed and self-serving religious fundamentalism. That both characters wind up at the end in the pit of despair is a virtual given, yet Anderson still makes their final conflict shocking in its raw brutality, even as he shows the grand absurdity of it all.

There Will Be Blood's boldly compelling, Oscar-winning cinematography is very nicely conveyed in this disc's anamorphic widescreen transfer. The image is beautiful and very filmlike, finding a good balance between rendering fine detail and being too sharp (some of the wider shots may seem a bit soft, which I'm sure will be improved in the inevitable high-def release). Colors look excellent throughout the film's relatively subdued palette, which means that bright bursts like the fiery oil well inferno really pop off the screen. Blacks are solid without ever becoming murky, especially in the opening passages and in Plainview's darkened mansion. The Dolby Digital 5.1 surround soundtrack is likewise very good, giving us both the subtle details of the environment (the wind blowing across the plains, the clanking of equipment) and the roar of Jonny Greenwood's amazing score, which powerfully envelops you at times throughout the film. | |
For a 2-Disc Collector's Set, the supplements provided here are a surprisingly light, especially given the in-depth treatment Paul Thomas Anderson has lavished on DVDs of his other films. There is no audio commentary and no documentaries about the making of the film and no interviews with any of the cast or crew. What is there, then? Well, there's "15 Minutes," which is a 15-minute (duh) slide-shown presentation of Anderson's research into early 20th-century culture and oil drilling (period photographs, film footage, etc.) juxtaposed with corresponding scenes from the film. It's an absorbing piece that shows you just how much work the filmmakers put into evoking the film's time and place. There are two trailers--a theatrical trailer and a teaser trailer--and a pair of relatively short deleted sequences (6 minutes and 3 minutes, respectively). The title of the 3-minute "Dailies Gone Wild" seems almost willfully perverse, especially given the fact that it's one, unedited take from the dinner confrontation scene in which Day-Lewis loses his infamous composure right at the end. The most interesting supplement is a 1923 government-produced promotional/educational film titled "The Story of Petroleum, which explains via footage of actual oil drilling and various animations how the U.S. oil industry does its work. |

text: Professor of Molecular and Cell Biology Timothy Carter, Ph.D and eight undergraduate students enrolled in the capstone course "Biology of Cancer" recently returned from Denver, CO where they joined more than 17,000 members of the international research community at the 100th Annual Meeting of the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) . During the five-day conference, students were immersed in research data, participated in critical dialogue about origins and behavior of cancer cells, attended lectures by renowned scientists, and attended informational career panel discussions and a high-tech tradeshow that included exhibits ranging from identification of cancer stem cells to DNA technology. This excursion gave students the opportunity to experience science at a superior level. "You can present them with textbook materials but the hands-on aspect of a conference like the AACR is a dimension that you can't bring to the classroom," Dr. Carter points out.Several students, inspired by the meeting, highlighted their experiences: "It was empowering to be able to sit and listen to some of the top researchers and Nobel Prize laureates discuss the latest breakthroughs in cancer research," says Kristen Finnegan, sophomore biology major. "One of my favorite parts of the meeting was the mini-symposia, at which lectures were followed by discussion. I really enjoyed being able to witness the birth of new ideas and concepts to supplement my learning in the classroom." International student Tongtong Zhu recounted how the trip reinforced his decision to pursue a career in science. "During this trip, I met young scientists just starting their careers, and attended talks by reputable senior researchers. The passion I found in both groups was similar and I am amazed at how long the excitement for science can last in a person." Freshman Sabine Schneider credits Dr. Carter and the conference for offering her the opportunity to discover a future career in the sciences. "It was wonderful to talk to the scientists at the convention and interesting to see such a diverse group of scholars. I learned the many different pathways that led to their careers in research. The meeting showed me that this profession has all the characteristics I am looking for, with an atmosphere that I enjoy." Sophomore Biology Major Steven Kennedy was amazed at the career choices presented at the conference. "I had an amazing experience. It was an invaluable resource for understanding how the theories we've learned in the classroom are applied in the real world. Dr. Carter has challenged me to me to think deeper than I ever had before about possible career choices in the field."A Capstone Initiative The capstone course offers students a comprehensive introduction to carcinogenesis (the process by which normal cells are transformed into cancer cells), tumor biology and the various modern approaches to therapy. The course integrates what they have learned in cell biology, genetics, physiology and other disciplines to study a major human health concern. At the completion of the course they are given the opportunity to attend the AACR conference. "The Department Chairperson was aware of my active role in cancer research and wanted to introduce this type of course to undergraduate students," explains the biology professor. "This provides them with an unparalleled opportunity to discover if scientific research is the career they want to pursue." With over 30 years at St. John's, Dr. Carter's mission is to ensure that undergraduates acquire the most from their St. John's education by sharing in the intellectual process of the global scientific community. "This was an extraordinary, close-knit group, each of whom helps to make the St. John's undergraduate experience rich and full for the others," he adds. "Mentoring them before and during the trip has been one of the highlights of my teaching career."

Salt, salt and more salt. And the few non-salty items were amazingly bland. Disappointing, since we loved the interior and had a great server.
Ate there this weekend and was soooo disappointed. To start, the waitress was obnoxious. The food was completely mediocre. We will not go back or recommend to friends.
If there was a no star option I would leave it, not sure where these other people eat but horrible food, the worst that I have encountered in many 29 years of breathing air. I am a vegetarian myself and find it insulting for this to be cobsidered a vegetarian restaurant, what is vege besides EGGPLANT!!!! Complete joke, and I am not laughing>
