-- sheriff's office admitted Sunday -- key evidence in the Casey Anthony murder trial might have been missed.
Detectives overlooked a Google search on the Anthony family computer.
For full proof suffocation that was made the last day two year old.
Cabling was seen alive.
So could this bombshell had changed the outcome of the murder case -- right now -- is Casey Anthony's lead defense attorneys and the author of presumed guilty.
Casey Anthony the inside story Jose by assurances from beautiful Miami Jose thanks very much for -- Good morning Steve okay so the way we understand it the cops -- they Anthony family computer looked at it.
And that the investigator just look at the the Internet browser.
The Internet Explorer and saw about a dozen dozen and have things that they made a note up.
Didn't look into the fire fox.
Browser which had more than 12100 entries including the search for.
Now had they brought that up you would think that there could have the kind of made up.
I don't think so it in fact.
The actual computer searches in the evidence that results from the computer.
Benefits the defense more than it does the prosecution.
And what's being reported is that they didn't look at the Mozilla Firefox -- and when -- -- that's not true.
They scan the entire computer and did and -- print out a scan of the activity so they knew all of the Internet and computer activity.
Throughout the entire day and they did a complete time line.
I think and it is my opinion that this information was kept from the defense because.
If it destroyed completely the prosecution's time line.
That Casey Anthony left at 1250 that day that's what's pointed the finger directly case because she was last seen.
With Caylee was she was alive who should last seen by and that was George Anthony leaving -- house 1250.
But there's computer activity throughout the day right so what what the problem that the prosecution had is.
They can't have the -- -- needed to she either left the house -- or certain that or someone is lying about -- time they saw Caylee -- Here's the thing Jose you know edit it for instance in our house.
We use different browsers I use the fox fire at our house on the big computer and and my kids use the Internet Explorer.
At the Anthony house apparently Casey.
Could use the Firefox and the rest of her family used.
The Internet Explorer it was on the Firefox where where apparently full proof suffocation was -- That's not true -- in fact there are other searches that they recovered from the Mozilla Firefox.
That was on that computer so.
To say well they didn't they didn't search they completely forgot that there is.
Firefox browser on this computers is completely inaccurate Jose why why -- actually -- -- why does somebody.
The -- that -- the little girl went missing why did somebody and who at that house looked up fool proof suffocation.
You know that's that's a great question and that's something I laid out in my book.
What's -- -- you know it really is speculation the only thing you can never put someone behind a computer and say this person read this search and did this.
And that's the biggest thing that a forensic experts will tell you.
But in my book I laid out the different arguments from both sides and basically say you you know you can argue Casey did it.
But of course did the there's testimony that she left the house so who did this -- and I go it's the actual profiles to give you a little bit of a better example what are your class Jose what -- your client would have been the one who who did that search.
Well you know I I don't get it's what it's you know there's.
No indication and I had absolutely nothing for my -- that told me that she -- searches so.
You know I I can only go by what the evidences.
And you know she didn't testify in this case so it if it -- be be corroborated.
It can't be it can't it can only be speculated.
And that's what came out in this case and that you know a lot of speculation.
And what's been reported about the search is completely false these were suicide related searches.
And -- your father was contemplating her father George was thinking about calendar itself.
What he actually attempted suicides and you've -- several months later okay so you know I it it it just calls for nothing but speculation.
However the timeline of this case is what's most important fact.
And if you have computer activity that shows completely the opposite.
Of what the testimony is that I I have to argue it helps that the -- more than anything.
Right interesting conversation with him by its interest -- Miami sir thank you very much.
Thank you Steve you.

Is it a Dream or is it Real?
Is it a Dream or is it Real?
I have wondered about work/life balance, just like I think everyone has. It is something that I work on every day and it is something that I help others work on, too.
Having a balanced life feels like an elusive dream for many of us and every year it is high on the list of things to change. There is no doubt that our lives are filled with demands pulling at us from many different directions, sometimes with no end in sight. But small choices can make a big difference in getting your life back into balance.
Here are some simple choices you can make in your day to help achieve more balance and fulfillment:
- Choose your leisure activities wisely. You only have a limited number of hours in a day for fun, so spend them on things you really enjoy.
- When someone asks you to do something, don't just say "yes", only to regret it later. First consider how that thing will impact your work-life balance.
- Plan at least one task every day that you know you will complete, and that you know you will feel good about. Then do it.
- Identify the most stressful things in your life, and make simple changes so they feel less stressful.
You have the power to make these small, simple choices throughout the day for big impact. Set the intention and consciously move toward creating the ideal balanced life that you desire. Balance is something that everyone deserves! Try these small steps and see your life take a turn toward work/life balance. You are worth it!
I've learned….
My daughter brought this poem home with her from school and it really spoke to me on a lot of levels. I can see many different experiences in my life that this talks to. For me, these are powerful words. I am not sure who wrote it, and if someone knows please let me know so that I can give them credit, a big "THANK YOU", and then a standing ovation!
I've learned…
I've learned ~ that you cannot make someone love you. All you can do is be someone who can be loved. The rest is up to them.
I've learned ~ that no matter how much I care, some people just don't care back.
I've learned ~ that it takes years to build up trust, and only seconds to destroy it.
I've learned ~ that it's not what you have in your life but who you have in your life that counts.
I've learned ~ that you can get by on charm for about 15 minutes. After that, you'd better know something.
I've learned ~ that you shouldn't compare yourself to the best others can do.
I've learned ~ that you can do something in an instant that will give you heartache for life.
I've learned ~ that it's taking me a long time to become the person I want to be.
I've learned ~ that you should always leave loved one with loving words. It may be the last time you see them.
I've learned ~ that you can keep going long after you can't.
I've learned~ that we are responsible for what we do, no matter how we feel.
I've learned ~ that either you control your attitude or it controls you.
I've learned ~ that regardless of how hot and steamy a relationship is at first, the passion fades and there had better be something else to take it's place.
I've learned ~ that heroes are the people who do what has to be done when it needs to be done, regardless of the consequences.
I've learned ~ that money is a lousy way of keeping score.
I've learned ~ that my best friend and I can do anything or nothing and have the best time.
I've learned ~ that sometimes the people you expect to kick you when you're down will be the ones to help you get back up.
I've learned ~ that sometime when I'm angry I have the right to be angry, but that doesn't give me the right to be cruel.
I've learned ~ that true friendship continues to grow, even over the longest distance. Same goes for true love.
I've learned ~ that just because someone doesn't love you the way you want them to doesn't mean they don't love you with all they have.
I've learned ~ that maturity has more to do with what types of experiences you've had and what you've learned from them and less to do with how many birthdays you've celebrated.
I've learned ~ that you should never tell a child theirs dreams are unlikely or outlandish. Few things are more humiliating, and what a tragedy it would be if they believed it.
I've learned ~ that your family won't always be there for you. If may seem funny, but people you aren't related to can take care of you and love you and teach you to trust people again. Families aren't biological.
I've learned ~ that no matter how good a friend is, they're going to hurt you every once in a while and you must forgive them for that.
I've learned ~ that it isn't always enough to be forgiven by others. Sometimes you have to learn to forgive yourself.
I've learned ~ that no matter how bad your heart is broken, the world doesn't stop for your grief.
I've learned ~ that our background and circumstances may have influenced who we are, but we are responsible for who we become.
I've learned ~ that just because two people argue, it doesn't mean they don't love each other. And just because they don't argue, it doesn't mean they do.
I've learned ~ that we don't have to change friends if we understand that friends change.
I've learned ~ that you should be so eager to find out a secret. It could change your life forever.
I've learned ~ that two people can look at the exact same thing and see something totally different.
I've learned ~ that no matter how you try to protect your children, they will eventually get hurt and you will hurt in the process.
I've learned ~ that your life can be changed in a matter of hours by people who don't even know you.
I've learned ~ that even when you think you have no more to give,when a friend cries out to you, you will find the strength to help.
I've learned ~ that credentials on the wall do not make you a decent human being.
I've learned ~ that the people you care about most in life are taken from you too soon.
I've learned ~ that it's hard to determine where to draw the line between being nice and not hurting people's feelings and standing up for what you believe.
Have you been thinking about it?
The Holidays are here! I can't believe how fast they have come up on me…but I always seem to feel that way right about now. I seem to waffle between loving them and being overwhelmed with them. I am sure that it has something to do with the situation and/or "hat" – my "wife, mom, coach, teacher, domestic goddess, taxi driver, accountant, organizer" hat – I am wearing at the particular moment that I feel the love or the stress. I think that as a caregiver, it is pretty normal to experience it all, even when it seems magnified during the Holidays.
So, I've been thinking about ways that I can consciously live each day during the Holidays and beyond, fully engaged and doing what I want to be doing without fear of being overwhelmed and possible burnout. One of the first things that comes to mind is to find an activity that I can do for myself that pampers me or engages me. Some things that come to mind, without letting myself pass judgement or even start with excuses about why they won't work are: reading fiction, doing something with yarn, walking, working on my stack of family photos.
Have you thought about what you could do to create some "you" time in your life? The benefits of creating that space for youself are:
- helping you find balance in your life
- doing something that you love, for yourself
- being able to take your 'caregiver' hat off and rest
- having that time to just "be"
- recharging your energy and focus
- helping to maintain a positive mental attitude
In the midst of this Holiday season, I hope that you will find some time to start thinking about some ways that you can carve out some "you" time. I am looking forward to finding my yarn and getting started on a project!
The Big Debate of Work-Life Balance
There is a big debate about whether someone really can achieve work-life balance. I think it's all in your perspective. How about you?
As I see it, work-life balance is not a destination: it's not something that you achieve and then you are done. Instead, life balance is a series of adjustments that you make all through the day everyday that either move you toward or away from balance. The key is to increase your awareness when making these decisions. Instead of making them instinctively, determine in the moment if the decision will move you toward balance.
Something as simple as being aware of the decisions you make and actions you take will naturally cause you to move more toward a life of balance.
So, how about you? What do you think of the "big debate"? Do you think you can create life balance with your choices and actions? Are you taking the time to be aware of yourself and what you want your balance to be and look like? I am really working on taking the time that I need to make the decisions I want based, on where I want to be in life. It is a learning experience with lots of opportunities! I am excited with what I have learned and where I am headed. I hope that you are, too!
What is Balance and How Can I Get Some?
I can't believe that the Holidays are just around the corner! This year has been an amazing year for me both professionally and personally. As I look back over the year, I realize that my balance was a bit off ~ I did much more professional development and business work then I did for my personal life. Now, that I have said it out loud, I can also say that I am feeling the lopsidedness. I am thrilled with what I have accomplished, don't get me wrong, but I also want to take a step back and really focus on getting myself back into balance. Work-life balance – it sure sounds good and what does it mean….better yet, how do you get some?
As I see it, work-life balance is the dynamic interaction between "work" and "life". "Work" is those tasks you must do to keep your life functioning ~ paid or unpaid, inside or outside the home. And "life" is those things you do for your own personal fulfillment ~ the things we really enjoy and want to do. "Balance" is the ideal blend of those two areas. Sounds wonderful, doesn't it?
So, getting myself into some work-life balance is at the top of my to-do list for the upcoming months. I love being a caregiver; it is a big part of who I am. I also know that being in balance will help me continue doing what I am a passionate about. What about you? Are you ready to find some balance in your life?
Here are some ways to begin to work on balance:
*Become aware of how you are spending your time. Notice where you are satisfied, where you may be unbalanced, and what you would like to change.
*Create your vision of a balanced day. How do you desire your ideal day to look while enjoying the perfect combination of "work" and "life"?
*Identify the obstacles that interfere with your quest for balance such as your own thoughts, words, and actions. Also look at other obstacles such as people's opinions, schedules, and actions.
*And finally, put it all into "action". Awareness, desire, and identifying your obstacles are important, but to move toward balance, you need to take action. Make choices that move you toward balance and watch your life bloom. Work-life balance is not a destination. It is a dynamic state of awareness and choices. I hope that these simple tips to help move you toward the life you desire!
It's About Time
What time is it at your place? For me, it has been a time of fun and relaxation as summer starts here in Idaho. The kids are out of school and the days have gotten longer with more sunshine and beautiful blue skies. This is also the time that I reflect on my plans and goals for the upcoming week, month, and year. I love to do that at least once every six months…I use it as kind of a "check in" to make sure that I am still following my passion, my life purpose, and reaching for my goals. And, I am happy to report that it is all on track!
What do you do with your time? Do you ever take time to check in with yourself about where you are and where you are headed? What have you found out? What about where you have been? If things on the inside aren't as they appear on the outside…where is the disconnect? Do you know where you are headed; what your passions, life purpose? Get started re-connecting with yourself. It's about time!
Where is your Place?
I grew up in Oregon, along the Salem/Portland corridor (I-5). I spent my younger years in Salem and I spent my college time and medical training time in Portland. I loved the environment (even all the rain!) and all the things that there was to do, see, and experience there. It was fast paced, engaging, and a wonderful place to grow up. The memories are wonderful!
Amid all that hustle and bustle, I found two Places that I could go to relax, unwind, re-center, and just "be". One of them was the coast, specifically Lincoln City, and the other was Silver Creek Falls, a state park. (can you tell I love water?) I am not sure when I started going there, but as I hit my late teens, I made it a point to go there frequently, sometimes with close friends, but mostly when I needed time by myself. I think that the need to "be" was something that came from within myself. I am glad that I listened to that little voice inside because it helped to create a habit of listening and honoring myself enough to take the time to "be".
I don't live in Oregon anymore, haven't for about 23 years, and I really miss it! I haven't found a Place where I live now that gives me that same peace and quiet, or connection that the Coast and the Falls did; those are definitely my favorite places, bar none. There is a Place that is close, the barn where my horses are, but it doesn't have quite the same feel and connection to me. However, I have found that I can still go to my favorites in my head and heart, if I take the time to do it. I have learned how to center, create space, and balance by going within myself using a vision of where I want to be along with sounds and even smells that I remember. It is a powerful experience! Sometimes I don't want to leave!
Do you have a Place that you go to to relax, unwind and just "be"? Where is it and how often do you go? It is so important to take care of yourself and this is a great way to really connect to yourself and learn about what is "going on in the background", so to speak. The benefits are huge and everlasting! The constant demands of others, in whatever role that we play, can be hard to live with over time. Stress, burnout, and even withdrawal can be signs that you have reached maximum overload. Remember that when you are balanced within yourself, it makes caring for others, including yourself, so much easier and gratifying; caring that comes from a place of "want to" and not "have to".
Where is your Place? Can you get there today, one way or another? Will you give yourself the gift to go there today? I would love to hear from you about the Places that are important to you and why. Sometimes just sharing or talking about them can take you there…I am feeling the beach sand between my toes right now!
Live Life Fully!
"Time is life. It is irreversible and irreplaceable. To waste your time to to waste your life, but to master your time is is to master your life and make the most of it." ~ Alan Lakein
Refuse to feel USED by life ~ instead, make full use of it!
To do this, we initially need to take control of the time of our lives. Time management is life management, from the inside out. It's an INSIDE job and you already have everything you need. You have the power to create a life of meaning, fulfillment and joy. Your challenge is to find what works for you! Review all the you know and make your own decisions. To do this, you'll need to:
- Get to know yourself ~ your desires and passions, rhythms, styles, challenges, needs and habits.
- Be aware that you always have a choice. Claim your independence and power to choose what is right for your life, moment by moment.
"Until you value yourself, you will not value your time. Until you value your time, you will not do anything with it." ~ M. Scott Peck
A New Year's Benediction for you
I love benedictions! A benediction is an utterance of good wishes, in the form of a blessing that one bestows upon another. This particular one is one I received from someone that I know and I loved it so much that I want to pass it on.
"In 2011, I wish for you these things:
*May you reflect on 2010 and feel GRATEFUL.
Grateful for your accomplishments and success, and even for the challenges that helped you grow in wisdom and experience!
*May you look t0 2011 and be filled with HOPE.
Hope for all things that matter to you ~ love, family, relationships, good health, joy, and prosperity.
*May you approach 2011 with BELIEF.
Belief that you can be abundant. Belief that you deserve to be prosperous and belief that you bring value to those that you serve.
*And may you step into 2011 with great ANTICIPATION.
Anticipation for success in all areas of your life, and for the achievement of all your dreams."
This is what I wish for you ~ gratitude, hope, belief, and anticipation.
Here's to an amazing 2011!
You are complete!
"Everything you need you already have. You are complete right now. You are a whole, total person, not an apprentice person on the way to someplace else." ~ Wayne Dyer
Close your eyes and imagine that everything that you have and everything that you are is enough. You don't need to be better or different – you are great just the way you are!
Do you choose to experience the power, peace and contentment that understanding and living those words brings you? As you go into the New Year, is this perspective or shift in your thinking one that you try on and live with for awhile? Moving into this with grace and acceptance does not mean that we stop growing and learning. When we accept who we are now, we open the doors to our own inspirations to do and be even more! Can you imagine the possibilities?!
"Who you are is really enough!" ~ Oriah Mountain Dreamer
"Wherever you are is always the right place. There is never a need to fix anything, to hitch up the bootstraps of the soul and start at some higher place. Start right where you are." ~ Julia Cameron

So I purchased all this brand new at a snowboarding event called Skidazzle last year and they have all seen a total of 6 days of snow in Mammoth, CA. I bought everything in a hurry and the board is too long for me, the boots are too big(still not broken in), and the bindings were actually just fine but I'm getting a whole new setup so they are going too. All gear comes in their boxes they were bought in including a clear zip up bag for the board.

20 box master case of 2011 Leaf Muhammad Ali Metal - hit break
I've been waiting for a new Ali product since I hosted a break for the previous release. This one looks awesome. It may be a bit ambitious to try to fill an entire master case, but we'll give it a shot. We can always drop to a 10-box case if need be, but the master casse guarantees an Ali auto.
Here's the product details: _____________________________________ 2011 Leaf Muhammad Ali Metal Each direct inner case contains 10 boxes. Each box contains: 7 Base ALI Metal Cards 3 Prismatic Parallel ALI Metal Cards 1 Fan/Associate/Family autographed ON-CARD 1 ALI themed hit (ALI worn relic card, ALI 1/1 Superprismatic base card, ALI 1/1 Printing Plate, ALI CUT SIGNATURE, or one of 100 ALI 1/1 ON-CARD Superprismatic Autographed cards!!!) Ali autographs fall one in every MASTER CASE (one in every other inner case). ______________________________________ As far as I know, this is slated for an October release. According to BO's weekly presale email, a master case of this is $3050. I'm thinking the following format would work best: 4 spots for base (5 boxes worth each) 4 spots for Prismatic Parallel Ali Metal cards (5 boxes worth each) 40 spots for hits That gives us 48 spots. 3050/48 = 63.54. Add $2.00 for shipping/supplies. Paypal fees on $65.54 are $2.27, which brings us to $67.81. So we'll say $68 for the 1st slot and $67 for each additional slot. The break will be done live on my ustream channel. After the break is full and paid, we will have a mod random the list 3 times. The first name on the list will get the first hit pulled, the second name will get the second hit, and so on, until all 40 hits are pulled. Slots 41-44 will be for base (slot 41 gets the base for the first 5 boxes, and so on). 45-48 will be the Parallel slots (slot 45 gets the parallels for the first 5 boxes, and so on). I am open to suggestions regarding format changes or general improvements, but this was the format we followed last time and it was pretty successful. I would like to get this full and paid ASAP, as it appears this release is very limited. 1 kajoshb2k (3) 2 kajoshb2k 3 Vintage Collector (5) 4 kajoshb2k 5 6 7 Vintage Collector 8 9 10 Vintage Collector 11 12 13 mrmike79 (2) 14 mrmike79 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 Vintage Collector 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 Vintage Collector 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48

Got you down. Hopefully the case price is still the same.
EDIT: Looks like case price is down $100. If this holds, I'll reconfigure the slot price or put the extra money towards next-day shipping. We'll make a decision once the break is full.

If there is this little interest in this product, this case price should keep dropping.

I also stock a small selection of hard to find 1/16th furniture and accessories and, for those who want a bigger challenge, I will be introducing some 1/144th scale in the coming months. If you are a little confused over the different scales, take a look at my Which Scale? page for more info. U.K. Postage from £1, Europe from £1.50, International from £1.50 Please note that the miniatures I sell are collectors items and, unless the description states otherwise, the items on this web site are not intended for children under 14 years old. Why smaller scales? My customers choose smaller scales for different reasons. Some because they are short of space for a 1/12th project (or "another" 1/12th project) and others because they like the challenge of building, decorating and furnishing a more petite dwelling in as much detail as possible. These miniature model accessories and furniture can also be used for dioramas and set design. Some of my stock made it's way to a film set and appeared in a box office film - see film clip below. |

My car sold today so looks like I may be out...
Bugger, the weather was looking poor anyhow I suppose...
We'll have to rearrange it for another time when hopefully the weathers better!

Welcome back after the show show for the new year it's January 7 it's Monday I'm Gretchen Carlson glad to be back and I'm joined by the March of Dimes 2013 ambassador family.
-- -- -- Montes who are from Cincinnati Ohio this is Nina she's seven and you are officially the ambassador for 2013.
What do your friends think about.
The fact that you are a celebrity.
They're excited they're excited.
I think it's pretty cool it's wrong yes.
It's kind of weird see yourself on TV isn't losing union monitors see underneath the TV screens here so neat is seeing herself.
Right there you look great you're wearing the official color of March of Dimes.
And by the way Vince it's the 75 anniversary of March of -- of this makes it adds extra special I would think for you to be the families.
I sure as you know somebody five years of just helping moms and babies starting with polio -- now working with premature.
For charity trying to cure you know make sure that all -- moms and babies have healthy deliveries it's amazing.
Now if you didn't join us for the broadcast show -- the central font.
Honestly so -- -- coming nobody wishes having a premature baby and anybody but.
-- you're a nurse.
Working in a -- Q unit and use us so many families go through this thing yourself inside yourself and -- -- when she's born two punts.
Yeah at you know that it comes out -- -- against.
I think there's definitely families that you know I kind of anticipated timing and you would think that we would have been somewhat prepared.
Given my history in my background working as a nurse practitioner and the -- and -- where you could see me selling the equipment and mean actually was cared for and but in that mound and as a new my mom.
Looking -- your -- pound eight.
Yeah it was stuffed him you know -- I -- said she looked like a little.
Bird you know I was afraid to even touch -- and we couldn't touch her for awhile which is always hard you wanna bring your.
Your baby right home and be able to hold them in and one and that didn't happen for us with Nina.
So you know I was always afraid to even trying to change -- -- -- these little bird legs and then he felt like you were gonna break every time.
-- -- what you're saying is that even though you were in this field that and tell it happens to you personally.
You don't know exactly what it feels like so what is going to be your message this year you travel across the country thanks to United Airlines will be can be telling people he's swampy.
What's now that there's an organization that's incredible smarts times that's -- dealing actively commanding research and finding and helping.
Doing everything -- -- attended how women have healthy pregnancies and happy he's happy healthy starts and I also think its support for.
For people like.
Going to attend an attack not -- land grant much access to great support group -- for women that are experiencing -- in the making you know.
And it you know sometimes courses and making it for babies are veering very long -- was there for five weeks and it seemed like a lifetime.
For -- while she was there.
The one of the thing though is that you unlike many moms you were somewhat prepared -- had about what was 48 hours to knows he was gonna come slowly yes and so they were able to to pump.
You with what for her long while they gave me stare ions that helped to develop power lines and I think that you know.
That was definitely heat.
-- and ensuring that she had -- men and all respiratory difficulties and we are very fortunate for that must premature babies are you now.
Biggest hurdle in the very beginning -- screening Nina did have some respiratory distress that it.
Really was quite mild compared to what I've seen at a -- characters that I now.
How very lucky we learn she Wisconsin is a proxy pat where they just have little -- and is forcing -- -- lines and helped to -- until successfully.
Ready to go on around and she really and we needed support firm about.
Six hours I think altogether which is amazing.
Given a baby her size.
I know from having to pregnancies myself when you get -- those final weeks he gets you want it to be over because you're tired of feeling big.
But one of the other big pushes at the march time -- is.
Is trying to make sure that it women Kerry as long as they possibly can because research -- always.
That even -- final gains have such a great impact on the health of the -- current.
Absolutely there's so many risks that are involved with.
Having a premature babies including you know they're they're lungs are not fully -- they're they're.
Green is not fully matured so having a sexual weak section days really helps -- to prepare them for the outside world and there's nothing like you know having.
A full term term -- because there's nothing -- in the outside world that can support them like being inside as long.
So it's it's truly.
And important to have those extra weeks and days.
You know what mean you're you're the only person in this entire studio actually hot.
Who actually wants to take off her sweater because usually it's about 5060 degrees in here for me it it is sometimes -- lights can be a little.
Hot you can even on -- it doesn't matter where casual around here.
One thing we hope is that in the springtime when lots of people want to get involved with the March of Dimes walks and fundraising that -- were enough to not have this water.
So tell us where people can go fans if they want to get.
Well we're going to be traveling around the country.
Throughout the next few months promoting march march for babies in March of Dimes and through the generosity of united will be visiting a lot of local chapters maybe been -- -- close to books that are watching and being able to.
Walk with them at their local walks and there are everywhere around the country so they can logon to march for babies dot -- And check out their local chapter check -- the local walk and -- go ahead and it's a great event all inspiring thousands of people marching for.
Very just cause -- They should be probably be part of it.
Well I'm proud to be a spokesperson for the march at -- been involved for.
Years and and one of the most heartwarming things that -- to all the work that -- times is doing is paying off it's premature to campaign.
When we are all at this conference in October we found out that the national rate in the United States supreme maturity has gone and so this work.
It's doing something and we still have a lot of work to do but it's gone down from.
What was it twelve point 8% in 2011211.
Point 7% that right.
So every state doing their part to.
Trying to increase -- preterm.
Her it's what we're so glad to meet you -- And I hope you have a fantastic -- is the ambassador.

Oh, no they didn't!
The feud between Carl Icahn and William Ackman had its first made-for-reality-TV moment. The two billionaire money managers spent 30 minutes on Friday hurling insults and accusations at each other during a live broadcast.
The men have been engaged in a dispute over a deal from a decade ago, and are on opposite sides again this month over Mr. Ackman's public bet against the shares of Herbalife Ltd. HLF -1.54% Herbalife Ltd. U.S.: NYSE $68.60 -1.07 -1.54% Dec. 12, 2013 4:03 pm Volume (Delayed 15m) : 1.71M AFTER HOURS $69.00 +0.40 +0.58% Dec. 12, 2013 7:25 pm Volume (Delayed 15m): 2,627 P/E Ratio 13.67 Market Cap $7.06 Billion Dividend Yield 1.75% Rev. per Employee N/A 12/03/13 Bill Ackman's Pershing Square ... 11/22/13 Ackman Will Take Herbalife Bet... 11/20/13 Herbalife Gains Another Activi... More quote details and news »
The enmity reached a new level Friday when Messrs. Icahn and Ackman took to the business-television network CNBC to verbally batter each other (Mr. Icahn also threw a few jabs at the referee, CNBC anchor Scott Wapner). And on this slow, bitterly cold Friday afternoon, the rest of Wall Street stood mesmerized by every blow.
"In 30 years in the business, I've never seen anything that comes anywhere close to this," said Ben Willis, managing director at Albert Fried & Co., a broker on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange. "The only things missing were the ring and the gloves."
The famed investors swapped potshots and conflicting versions of a 2003 deal that led to a dispute over investment profits related to a company called Hallwood Realty. Mr. Ackman ultimately prevailed; Mr. Icahn was forced to pay him nearly $9 million.
The two have squared off again over Mr. Ackman's campaign against Herbalife. The Wall Street Journal reported this month that Mr. Icahn had taken the opposite side of that bet, buying a stake in the nutritional-supplements company.
Mr. Ackman was being interviewed by CNBC when a producer invited Mr. Icahn to join the segment. Mr. Icahn said Mr. Ackman was "a major loser" and "a cry baby in the schoolyard." Mr. Ackman countered that Mr. Icahn "either has a very bad memory or he has trouble with the truth."
Those and other zingers, and the at-times vulgar language, drew hoots from traders on the NYSE floor.
"Once it became apparent that this was going to be a prize fight, everybody's attention switched to what was going on the TV," said Michael Shea, managing partner at Direct Access Partners
Messrs. Ackman and Icahn didn't return requests for comment on their on-air showdown.
According to Mr. Shea, neither investor emerged from the spat as the clear winner. "Clearly both guys scored some points and both guys took some hits," he said. "I think Ackman might be a better debater, but I think that Icahn spoke with his own unique sense of certainty."

Words and pictures simply aren't enough to convey the special feeling that makes DeSales University different from other schools. Browse our pages, read our viewbook, and chat with our admissions counselors - we'll try to give you a real sense of what it's like to be a DeSales University student. Then please, come for a visit and experience the DeSales difference for yourself.
DeSales University has named John Miller, water system operator in the DeSales University facilities department, and Ann Koefer, coordinator of tutorial services and the Gateway to Success program, Employees of the Year for 2012. Miller received the Support Staff Employee of the Year award, and Koefer received the Professional Staff Employee of the Year award. Both were recognized for their years of service and contributions to the University's success, during the Service Excellence Dinner held on the DeSales campus on Tuesday, April 10.
The Employee of the Year awards are given annually to a professional and a support staff member in recognition of outstanding service. Recipients are distinguished for their commitment to the University's mission, witness to the values for which the University stands, and service marked by such characteristics as effort, skill, positive attitude and creativity in the work place.
Ann Koefer has been at DeSales University for 16 years. She earned her undergraduate degrees in psychology and human services from the University of Scranton and her master's of education in student affairs from Kutztown University. Before coming to DeSales, Ann was the program coordinator for the English as a Second Language program at Lehigh University and was a youth coordinator for the Office of Continuing Education at Northampton Community College.
Ann has been married to her husband Robert for 28 years. Their son Andrew is a 2007 graduate of Saint Joseph's University, where he was a member of the men's varsity basketball team from 2003 to 2005, and their daughter Elsbeth is a 2010 graduate of the Catholic University of America and is pursuing a law degree from Duquesne University.
Outside of her work with DeSales students, Ann is a CCD teacher at St. Peter's Church in Coplay, Pa., and she is a March of Dimes neighborhood coordinator. She enjoys music, walking, and gardening.
John Miller is a lifelong resident of Coopersburg, Pa. He attended Southern Lehigh High School and Lehigh County Vo-Technical School, where he learned plumbing, heating, and air conditioning.
He began working in the facilities department at DeSales in December 1981 in plumbing, HVAC, and water and sewer maintenance. Over the years, he was promoted to water and sewer operator. Today he is instrumental in overseeing all of the water and sewer operations throughout the entire campus.
In his free time, John enjoys saltwater fishing and drag racing his old car. He also spends a lot of time riding his Harley motorcycle. His favorite adventure is driving a tractor-trailer hauling horses around the country. It is said that he is the world's foremost expert on Warner Brothers and Hanna Barbera Cartoons.

"It's a P.A. and an amp… there's no need for separate wedge monitors."
Those statements from Fishman's promotional materials were enough to get my attention. In essence, it's a product designed specifically for performing singer/songwriters—a truly portable line array system combining everything you'd want at a gig, including sufficient bass, but without the boat anchor sub. With a Summer NAMM 2008 "Best in Show" award under its belt, not to mention the expected comparisons to the Bose L1 system, the SoloAmp comes with high expectations.
Out of the Box
The portability of the SoloAmp is amazing—everything fits in one case, including the speaker stand. Weighing in at 35 pounds altogether, a packed up SoloAmp is 43. 5" long, 7" wide and 14. 5" high. The case is well-padded and fairly sturdy, with big plastic clips and a thick plastic zipper that seems ready for the rigors of gigging. My only knock on the case is a greedy one—I would have liked an expanded compartment with room for mic and guitar stands, as well. The case's long shape makes it a bit tippy when trying to roll it with its built-in wheels, but hey, the fact that it has wheels shows Fishman's commitment to making the gigging musician's life easier.
The set up is very slick. I tried it once just to get the feel for it, and then I timed myself. On my second try I went from completely cased to totally set up in 55 seconds, and that was with me struggling with the clips on the case a bit—it could've been even faster. The speaker stand has markings on it telling you where to set it. You put that on the ground, the amp on the stick, plug it in and you're done. It really couldn't be any easier.
Mission: Controls
The controls on this amp are great. It is basically a two-channel mixer with very versatile inputs and outputs. Each channel has an XLR or 1/4" input, a gain control, High, Mid, Low EQ, an Anti-Feedback Knob (notch filter), a 10dB pad, a phase switch, a Reverb Level with four different reverbs to choose from, and a button for 48V of Phantom Power.

The Leiden Ranking 2008 The Centre for Science and Technology Studies (CWTS), Leiden University, has developed a new ranking system entirely based on its own bibliometric indicators. This web-publication is the first in a series of rankings. The work focuses on all universities worldwide with more than 700 Web of Science indexed publications per year. This implies that the about 1000 largest (in terms of number of publications) universities in the world are covered, and that our bibliometric analysis is based on the scientific output of many hundreds of active researchers in each of these universities. The Leiden ranking benefits from all experiences and know-how available at CWTS: very accurate definition and 'unification' of universities worldwide; corrections for practically all errors and inconsistencies in the raw publication and citation data; thorough methodology based on 20 years of experience in research performance analysis; multiple-indicator approach. This latter point is very important: on the basis of the same data and the same technical and methodological starting points, different types of impact-indicators can be constructed, for instance one focusing entirely on impact, and another in which also scale (size of the institution) is taken in to account. Rankings based on these different indicators are not the same, although they originate from exactly the same data. Moreover, rankings are strongly influenced by the size-threshold used to define the set of universities for which the ranking is calculated. We present the ranking results for
These two different size thresholds illustrate clearly how smaller universities that are not present in the top-100 (in size) may take high position in impact ranking if the size threshold is lowered. Europe:

Gold started the summer doldrums looking strong and has retreated since, but what are its prospects for the rest of the year and beyond? That will largely be determined by the interplay between supply and demand; let's take a look at the supply side.

St. John's University celebrated the Christmas season with the Long Island Masterworks Chorus and Orchestra in its presentation of The Nativity, produced by St. John's Alumnus Bernard D. Kennedy '54CBA, '58L, '99HON.
The fully staged opera, held in Carnesecca Arena on St. John's Queens campus, was met with rave reviews and a standing ovation from an estimated crowd of more than 1,000 on Saturday, December 10. The production tells the story of the Nativity, from the prophecies through the birth of baby Jesus, performed by the Long Island Masterworks Orchestra, a professional cast of singers and the St. John's University Mixed Chorus.
The orchestra was directed by Frances C. Roberts, founding conductor of Long Island Masterworks, the Long Island Philharmonic Orchestra and the Long Island Choral Festival and Institute.
Proving that its never to late to start a second career in life, Kennedy, 86, a lawyer by trade, took his love for classical music at age 74 and started a new calling by writing religious hymns. His passion progressed to writing a full-fledged opera that is now, in his own words, something beyond his wildest dreams.
"I honestly don't know how it happened," said Kennedy, when asked about the writing of his opera. "I started tinkering around with the music and I feel that the Holy Spirit came down and placed his hand on my head and blessed me to do this. It's a very moving feeling to see your own work produced, played and sung in front of all these people."
Rev. Donald J. Harrington, C.M., President of St. John's opened the festivities by welcoming community members, families, friends and opera lovers to the University for this special presentation that is one of the highlights of the holiday season.
"A University is judged by many things and one of the standards by which it is measured is the success of its alumni. Bernie is a double alumnus and has had great success in his profession and the arts, and has stayed a very important and close part of St. John's," said Rev. Harrington, C.M.
"My thanks go out to Father Harrington who made a dream come true for me coming back to my alma mater and performing my work here at St. John's. It was a special night," added Kennedy.
Kennedy graduated from Chaminade High School in 1943, received his bachelor's degree from St. John's in 1954, and graduated from the University's School of Law in 1958. He is a member of the Bar of the State of New York and he serves as President of the Long Beach Medical Center. Kennedy is also Co-Chairman of the Board and Co-Chairman of the Executive Committee of King Kullen Grocery Co., Inc., America's first supermarket.
The admission fee of $5 benefitted the St. John's Bread & Life Soup Kitchen. In addition, warm coats were collected in the Carnesecca Arena lobby area to support the New York Cares Coat Drive.

The Organic Traditional loose leaf is the smoothest, deepest yerba mate I've ever experienced, and I've purchased many brands. Bonus: if I prepare a mate at the onset of a migraine it disappears within fifteen minutes and it can't be just the cafeine because coffee doesn't produce the same result. For a couple of years I've been ordering two 5lb. bags at a time. Crunch the numbers and you'll find a great savings. As a matter of fact I might look into buying an even greater bulk order.
One of the few products I can count on to be great each and every time -- that's something unique !
As usual, my 5# traditional Mate arrived safe and intact and earlier than expected. Nothing but kudos!
My family and I love your traditional yerba mate. We drink it everyday for health and energy. We rave about yerba mate and remind others to purchase organic yerba mate, especially from Guayaki. Thank you for selling such an awesome product. We are happy to have discovered such a wonderful drink.
I was so thrilled to receive my new bag of traditional yerba mate...i have been drinking this daily for a couple of years now. Usually, I don't add any sweetner but now I add a lemon slice and one packet of truvia seetner to chilled yerba mate...it tastes so good and very smooth. I love it. Thank you for providing such an enjoyable and healthy tea.
I love this tea. I have been drinking for over 5 years. I drink it every morning. My day is not the same if I don't drink it. I love, love, love it!! That is why I order the 5 lb. bag; I don't ever want to be without it. Thank you Guayaki
Hello, It's hard to believe it's been several years now that I have been drinking the Organic Guayaki Yerba Mate. I drink it hot or cold with nothing added. I transfer from my steeping pitcher to jelly jars that I keep just for the tea I make ahead to take along to my work. By late morning and mid afternoons I enjoy that boost to increase energy and get the job done quicker. I have acid reflux disease and this tea does not seem to bother it. Also, I have hypothyroid disease so the drink helps me not to be so tired and makes me less hungry. I have noticed too that I no long nee the vitamin suppliment Inositol either because my hair stopped falling out as much when brushing and shampooing. It works for me...you should try it you may just be hooked like me...keep the baking soda handy for scrubbing your teeth though and don't forget to swish with water after each sip of tea because your teeth will turn dark. :( Thanks. Kathy from the Buckeye State
You guys should really design & sell tea canisters to hold the 1 pound, 2 pounds & 5 pounds tea bags. And the Free Gear dept should be designing more stuff like ravel mugs! I have enough tee shirts.

Michigan gets $3M for fighting food stamp fraud
LANSING, Mich. (AP) - Michigan will get $3.3 million from the federal government for its past work toward stopping errors in state-administered portions of the food assistance program.
Democratic U.S. Sen. Debbie Stabenow of Michigan announced the U.S. Department of Agriculture award Thursday.
Stabenow says Michigan will receive the additional federal cash as a reward for improvements made during the 2010 fiscal year related to stopping payment errors.
Stabenow said the money should be used to make further improvements in the system to prevent fraud and other abuses in the food assistance program.
Stabenow also called for continued efforts at the federal level to stop fraud and abuse in the program.

Fantastic MachinePros: Easy to set-up. Fast printing. Easy to service. Durable. What more could I ask for? Cons: Some speckling after a year. Dull colours if you don't set it up right. Other Thoughts: Would be nice if I didn't need the control centre on my PC. Did you find this review helpful? |
Great inexpensive printerPros: Inexpensive, low cost toner. Pretty easy to manage. Cons: Surprisingly heavy (not much of a con). You need to install the CUPS driver for Mac to get good color. Other Thoughts: I've bought 3 of these so far over the course of a year, and no problems at all. Did you find this review helpful? |
Good business printerPros: For general document printing, an excellent printer. Cons: Banding on both colors and greys. Other Thoughts: Our main printer for years have been HPs. When we set up documents to print on both sides, we don't have to tell the printer to use duplex. If the Brother has this capability, we haven't found it yet. However, you can manually select duplex (ditto mono) on every print job. Just a bit more time consuming and wasteful of paper if you forget. Did you find this review helpful? |
Colors very dull. Bad Windows drivers.Pros: Wireless Ethernet port. Cons: 1. Colors not vivid at all. Very dull colors. 2. Bad windows drivers cause Windows 7 64-bit to completely freeze up. Had to roll back to a restore point prior to driver / printer installation. 3. Wireless / wired Ethernet setup is very quirky. Wireless port and Wired Ethernet port cannot be active at the same time. If you enable wireless port, the wired port is disabled -- the light on the Ethernet switch will not even light up. You have to do a network setting reset to re-activate the wired Ethernet port. Simply turn printer off / back on will not reset it. Other Thoughts: Always bought Brother printers. This is really bad one. Office Depot's Xerox color printers have much better colors. So unfortunately, when we need high quality color prints, we still go to Office Depot. 3 out of 8 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
HL-4570CDWPros: Easy setup with Apple IMac. Up and running in less than 10 min. Prints fast. Print outs very good. Fast prints. No problems with printer yet. Second brother laser.

WorksPros: It's fast, sits perfectly idle for days making no noise Cons: It's loud, but only when warming up or printing, not overly loud, but you wouldn't want to be sitting next to it printing 200 pages Other Thoughts: If you need a fast color laser buy it, the toner is cheap to replace, and it's easy to set up.

From the Three Gorges to Gibe III: the Great Dam Builders Whac-a-Mole
Last Sunday International Rivers brought together Dai Qing and Ikal Angelei, two inspiring river activists from China and Kenya, for a public event in San Francisco. With the Three Gorges and the Gibe III dams, they have taken on some of the most destructive development projects of the past 20 years. Through our global grassroots network, they have engaged in what may be called the great dam builders' Whac-a-Mole.
Chinese journalist Dai Qing, a Goldman Prize recipient from 1992, has been the staunchest critic of the giant Three Gorges Dam for 25 years. She speaks truth to power with courage and irreverent humor. Newly minted Goldman Prize recipient Ikal Angelei coordinates the global campaign against the Gibe III Dam, which would devastate ecosystems and livelihoods in Ethiopia and Kenya.
Degrading whole river valleys and impoverishing large populations groups, the Three Gorges and Gibe III dams are symbols of a destructive development model. They are located on different continents, and separated by two decades. Yet the two projects are connected by invisible bonds: They are linked by the top-down globalization of the dam industry, and the bottom-up globalization of grassroots networks.
When Dai Qing campaigned against the Three Gorges Dam in the 1990s, China depended on Western technology to build the mega-dam on the Yangtze River. As a condition of their contracts, Western companies had to cooperate with Chinese partners and transfer their technology in the process. France's Alstom for example manufactured generators for the Three Gorges Dam in cooperation with China's Dongfang Electric Corp.
Once the project was completed the Chinese pupils turned around to sell their new expertise on the world market, and soon out-competed their Western masters. In 2010, Dongfang Electric won the contract to supply the equipment for the Gibe III Dam in Ethiopia. The contract was funded by ICBC, China's biggest bank. Like this the Three Gorges Dam has spawned a generation of new projects in Ethiopia, Sudan, Burma and other countries.
The Three Gorges Dam has been built, and the Gibe III Dam is under construction. Yet through our international network, Dai Qing, Ikal Angelei and other activists have achieved progress beyond the shores of the Yangtze River and Lake Turkana. In a sort of dam builders' Whac-a-Mole, we have managed to move one actor after the other out of the most destructive types of projects.
In 1994, a global grassroots campaign forced the World Bank to withdraw from the disastrous Sardar Sarovar Dam in India's Narmada Valley. The Bank adopted stronger standards and accountability mechanisms, and has stayed away from the most destructive mega-dams since this time. Yet when the Three Gorges Dam came around in 1996, the export credit agencies of Western governments jumped into the fray and filled the gap that the World Bank had left with their own reckless lending.
In the late 1990s, the public outcry over the Three Gorges Dam forced the Western export financiers to adopt social and environmental standards of their own. As a consequence these lenders stayed out of the Merowe Dam on the Nile in Sudan for human rights reasons. For several years, the project did not move forward. Yet in 2003, China's Exim Bank decided to fill the gap, and the project was built with Chinese technology. Under public criticism, China Exim Bank strengthened its environmental due diligence and suspended some projects in 2007. Yet in 2010, ICBC – China's biggest commercial bank – picked up the slack in the Gibe III Project.
Since 2010, International Rivers and Ikal Angelei's group, Friends of Lake Turkana, have exposed ICBC's reckless loan for Gibe III in the Chinese and international media. The loan is now being discussed as a case of lacking corporate social responsibility in China, and ICBC has not taken up any similar projects since 2010. Will global financiers finally learn to respect social and environmental limits in their lending decisions, or will new actors once again pick up the next generation of destructive projects?
Over the past 20 years we have strengthened environmental standards around the world, and stopped scores of destructive projects in their tracks. On good days I am confident that we are making progress. On bad days, I am concerned that we are losing ground. Yet with partners like Dai Qing and Ikal Angelei, I always know that we are doing the right thing.

We want sustianable growth in Africa !!
Dear writer,
Please let me comment on your last paragraph .
Well ...I am confident that are NOT making any progress. Yes you should be concerned that you we are losing ground because your campaign does not have popular support of the ingenious mass . Your partners interest like Ikal Angelei is for their own daily livelihood , and they echo so long they are paid and get money.
Brother ... We want sustainable growth in Africa !
Choge - Nairobi
Mr Choge, it would be interesting to confirm your claim of payment. How many people within Lake Turkana are being paid too as they have voiced the same concerns. What is sustainable about drying up the waters that have been serving communities for generations. Am sure you read of raids and conflicts in the region, have you seen us fight for electricity. During the recent oil find, what did you see the typical Turkana ask for??? Water??? What is sustainable about destroying the same ecosystems that create sustainability and which we depend on for survival??? We all want sustainable growth but what is sustainable if we dont recognize that protecting our waters, ecosystems and livelihoods is our sustainable growth.
How do you define
How do you define sustainbility? In terms of values or interest? I define it as balanced values and interest for the common goal of the natives. I am sure you wouldn't be advocating for water if you would have not had any interest coupled with your values. Therfore, using resourses to alivate poverity is ones right and it is the locals value and their interest. As you advocate change through civility the locals want change through civility and climb to the living standard of our nations like that of europe, asia and North America. To me, Asking one to stop development is like telling me you cant't drink water with a better glass. How can I continue using my hands to drink water; while I have the brain to think?
Financing destructive dams
Surely, can't anyone (legal experts) come up with a way to legally avoid repayment of public loans that destroy the livelihoods of the very citizens who will be obligated to repay them in spite the fact that these loans robbed them of their livelihoods?
Alternatively, how can you come up with alternative energy supplies so that hydropower becomes less attractive at household level?
As long as is it still so costly to adopt alternatives to hydropower like solar power - Lighting my house alone will cost me UShs 3,000,000. Cooking will shoot it up to 20,000,000 ($1=UShs2,440)- people like Choge in nairobi will continue to believe in hydropower; until they see water tables drastically drop and the Sahara reach nairobi.
America Must Lead the Way!
The only way for this organization and it's movement to be credible, and not be accused of being just another World Bank/IMF/CIA sponsored organization for the suppression and oppression of the Third World is for the West once again to lead the way!
The US should immediately stop building any dams or water-control projects and submit to the UN a comprehensive plan for complete demolition of ALL its water-control projects.
Let the waters run free!!!
All US dams and water-control structures should be immediately scheduled for public demolition and the entire process witnessed live on satellite TV and triggered by international public figures along with expert teams to confirm the process.
Start with the Hoover dam on the Colorado, you should invite the former Chinese Premier Li Peng (evil sponsor of the Three Gorges Dam) to personally dynamite this - a good bonus would be then to fly him next to the Grand Coulee Dam along the Columbia and then to dynamite this next.
This way we would know you were truly sincere and not just operating to undermine 3rd World development.
Thanks for the information

in response to dsberkoff:
I believe, Margaret, there are a fair number of elected members of Congress who "have the courage to put the public good and fiscal responsibility above personal ideology or whether he/she will be re-elected." And I think those members are from both political parties. The challenge is that personal ideology often dictates what one believes benefits "the public good" and contributes to "fiscal responsibility." And when we have officials who simply refuse to compromise their beliefs with those with differing beliefs, we get the situation we have today.
Personally, I think the so-called Tea Party officials who steadfastly refuse any compromise, any baby-step improvements/advancements, instead demanding an all or nothing approach are doing more harm than good. But all elected officials who refuse to budge from far-right or far-left popsitions are not helpful. The fact the Congress--the Senate and House of Representatives--have failed to pass a budget in so long is a sad indictment of the recent intransigence within each body and between the two.
Personal ideology is not the culprit, absolute refusal to compromise is the culprit. We used to have enough members of opposite ideologies and parties who understood that to effectively "govern" they had to compromise, and they did and the government functioned. Today we have too many members who think governing is refusing to compromise, so the whole function grinds to a crawl with fits and starts.
Well said but I would point to the word "compromise" as the reason we're in this hole.
We've compromised ourselves into a politically correct mess, a degraded education system and just about every unelected dept is a fiefdom unto it's own.
Compromise has gotten us to where we are today and it took 50 years to do it.

Book Review - Dark Shadows: The Visual Companion
London, Titan Books, November 2012, hardcover $39.95 (192 pages).
Dark Shadows: The Visual Companion is another "not the making of" art book that nevertheless contains "scores of photos, concept drawings, production designs, and interviews with the cast and crew," to quote the back-cover blurb. This book is more for the Dark Shadows fan than for the filmmaker looking for VFX technical information, but the latter will still find much of interest here.
Dark Shadows the Tim Burton/Johnny Depp movie, released in May 2012, is inspired by and a tribute to the original Dark Shadows "gothic soap opera" television series of June 1966 to April 1971, created by Dan Curtis. The 2012 movie is a summary of the plot of the five-year TV series. In the 1760s-1770s the Collins family emigrates from Liverpool, England to the Maine seacoast in North America and establishes a prosperous fishing village, Collinsport, dominated by an ornate mansion, Collinwood. Barnabas Collins, the young heir of the family (Johnny Depp), forms a romantic relationship with the family maid, Angelique (Eva Green), but is not interested in carrying it beyond a momentary flirtation. Angelique, a jealous powerful witch, kills Barnabas' parents and bespells his true love, Josette du Pres (Bella Heathcote), into jumping from a cliff into the sea. When Barnabas, grief-stricken, follows her to his death, Angelique curses him to become an immortal vampire. Angelique leads the Collinsport villagers to capture and bury him.
Almost 200 years later, in 1972, Barnabas' coffin is dug up by construction workers, releasing him. He returns to Collinwood to find it a decaying remnant of its past glory, inhabited by only seven people: Elizabeth (Michelle Pffeiffer), the current family leader, her 15-year-old daughter Carolyn (Chloë Grace Moretz), her weak brother Roger (Jonny Lee Miller), Roger's 10-year-old son David (Gulliver McGrath), David's live-in psychiatrist Dr. Julia Hoffman (Helena Bonham Carter), Willie the sullen caretaker (Jackie Earle Haley), and David's just-hired governess, Victoria Winters, who Barnabas recognizes as the reincarnation of Josette. Barnabas, struggling to restrain his lust for blood, poses as a distant relative come to rebuild the family fortune, revealing his true identity and nature only to Elizabeth to show her a rich treasure hidden within the mansion. Elizabeth has Collinwood cleaned and renovated, and Barnabas and Victoria resume their interrupted love; but Angelique, who has used her witchcraft to remain young and to impoverish the Collins over 200 years, is furious. She destroys the Collinsport fishery, turns Carolyn into a werewolf, and again incites the townsfolk against all the inhabitants of Collinwood. In the dramatic climax, Barnabas' and Angelique's true natures are exposed, and Angelique tries to destroy Collinwood and the last of the Collins family in a spectacular sorcerous battle.
The book begins with photos of director Tim Burton together with Johnny Depp in his Barnabas Collins makeup, and a few publicity photos of the original TV series featuring Jonathan Frid as Barnabas. The "History" reveals that it was Dan Curtis who approached Johnny Depp early in the 2000s about starring as Barnabas Collins in a theatrical feature remake of Dark Shadows. Depp liked the idea, but at the time he was contracted for other films. Later, after completing his other commitments (and unfortunately after Curtis had died), Depp took the idea to Tim Burton who enthusiastically undertook it. The story of the making of the film is detailed.
