Sigma has announced pricing for its new 50mm f/1.4 DG HSM Art lens at $949. The lens is available for Canon, Nikon, Sigma and Sony mounts. It is listed with an expected availability date of April 29.
Sigma 135mm f/1.8 DG OS Lens in the Works?
Sigma is really hitting it out of the park lately. The initial line of new lenses – particularly its Art lenses – are simply stunning as both engineering feats and in terms of what we have seen and heard of their real world results.
Case in point: the 18-35mm f/1.8 APS-C zoom, the 35mm f/1.4 and the 30mm f/1.4 APS-C lenses. [Read more…]

Keb Mo Band
Presented by The Wilbur Theatre at The Wilbur Theatre
October 26, 2012
The Reflection is the first new studio album by Keb Mo since Suitcase in 2006. These twelve songs are the product of an important period of personal and professional growth for the artist formerly known as Kevin Moore. In that time, he started a new family; moved from Los Angeles to Nashville; built a state–of–the–art home studio, and founded his own label, Yolabelle International, distributed by Ryko and the Warner Music Group.
Keb Mo is a three–time Grammy Award winner for Best Contemporary Blues Album; and a key figure in the acclaimed 2003 PBS series Martin Scorsese Presents The Blues. But The Reflection is not, in essence, a blues album. In sound and spirit, it's closer to the work of African–American "folk soul" singer/songwriters like Bill Withers, Bobby Womack, and Terry Callier.

Greg Grunberg says time slot change hurt Heroes
Greg Grunberg talks to Digital Spy and he has a lot to say about the rest of the season (and a possible fifth season). While he repeats what he said about the season finale not at all being a series finale (NBC still hasn't made up its mind about a new season), Grunberg also says that the network screwed up the show this season by moving it to 9pm and not telling anyone about it.
Does he have a point? I think Chuck got more press for coming back in Heroes' time slot than Heroes got for moving to 9pm, but people have been abandoning it anyway.
Heroes will be back next season (says Greg Grunberg)
Grunberg tells Michael Ausiello that the show just finished filming the season finale, and that even though the episode is "cliffhanger-y and exciting," it would not serve as a series finale for the show. There are too many plot points still up in the air. He's sure the show will be back.
While I wouldn't be surprised at all if a TV network cancelled a show before giving it a "proper" ending, I think Grunberg is probably right about this. The show does good enough, it's strong in time-shifted viewing, and the DVD sales are good. Like Grunberg, I think NBC will announce that next season is going to be the last, and that way the writers will know the show is ending and will be able to give it the ending that fans deserve.
A major death is coming to Heroes - who will it be?
That's actually a lot of info. Who do you think it will be? (I'm assuming it's not Nathan, for obvious reasons.)

Here's some bizarre video from the set of ... an NBC show
Subtle Subtitles: Heroes
"See these muffins? In thirty minutes there will be another batch just like these, baked by the same people, except they'll be funnier ... I mean tastier."
This week, a scene from the season finale of Heroes!
Heroes: An Invisible Thread (season finale)
What was needed was to wipe the slate clean, resolve as many of the dangling plot threads as possible, and establish a tabula rasa for "Volume Five." Or as much of one as we can this far into a series. After all, these last two volumes have left some pretty sour tastes in many mouths. The set up for interesting things to come next year was definitely well done. I'm more interested in what's going to happen in "Redemption" than I was excited about what happened in this finale.
Nathan Petrelli and Mike Delfino sing the classics
Heroes: I Am Sylar
(S03E24) The penultimate chapter of this latest volume of Heroes keeps the "improved" status of the series going. As expected, Rebel returns to the series and, as seen above, has an unexpected encounter with Sylar. The episode doesn't so much as pick up where last episode's left off, with Nathan and the extended Petrelli clan watching Sylar-Nathan at a live press conference requesting a meeting with the president. Instead, we backed the clock up so we could see what everyone else was doing while Angela was making her family dig holes in the desert.
Heroes: Cold Snap
(S03E20) Hey, it's the episode that Swoosie Kurtz is guesting in. It's so exciting. Bryan Fuller from Pushing Daisies is back on board Heroes, though I'm not sure if his influence is felt yet, and now we get one of its stars in a big, important role where she ... um ... well ... she was there. Luckily, they more than made up for that with the revelation of Rebel's real identity. And I can tell you that many of you were dead on as to who it is. And some more of you were wrong.
Once again, our focus was tightened this episode, but the reason for leaving out many of our favorite cast members was pretty plausible. They were unavailable, as it were. With Nathan outed, Danko's control of the whole project was solidified, and I guess he no longer has any government oversight? And it still wasn't made clear if that means Danko outed Nathan to the President, or really anyone. But that doesn't mean we weren't treated to a lot of things, cool powers and dramatic moments.
Heroes: Cold Wars
(S03E17) Well, the three stooges pretty much hogged up the entire episode, didn't they? In the end, it was Moe who had to come along and save the day because Larry and Curly kept bickering with each other to the point they were both captured. But who stayed captured? And what did they find out that was worth all the throwing around and breaking of mirrors? *yawn* Man, it turns out the stooges aren't nearly as fun to watch as I remembered.
The good momentum established in the first three chapters of this volume were completely squashed as the action ground to a screeching halt in this episode. We did learn that HRG is clearly a loyal lapdog to whatever cause he's behind. We know this because his memories as he sees them are in black-and-white and everyone knows dogs see in black-and-white ... yep, that's right. I just totally wasted your time with that lame-ass joke. You'll never get that time back. Hiro's lost his powers. He also lost the ability to appear in an episode, along with Ando, Claire and even Aquaman (who's still hiding in her closet, I guess).
What if Lost merged with Heroes? - VIDEO
Well, for one thing, it would certainly give a boost to Heroes, which a lot of people think needs a boost, but it would also be rather funny, if the video after the jump is any indication. It's from JustForLaughs.com and The Fine Brothers. Basically, they took Lost and Heroes action figures and made a little short film, showing what would happen if the cast of Heroes somehow ended up on the island and had to convince the castaways that they were there to rescue them. Of course, Sylar shows up and wants to control the island, but a surprise giant saves the day (and no, not the one with the odd toes).
I'm impressed at how much the action figures look like the real characters. I'm not kidding when I say that I'd actually watch a Robot Chicken-ish Lost/Heroes show.
Undercover hotties: ten guys on TV I secretly love
I get it. Television is populated with pretty people and there are just some guys who are objectively hot (hellooooo, Jon Hamm). Generally speaking though, I'm not drawn to the Luke Perrys and Mario Lopezes of the world. I like quirky guys, and so while most of the dudes on this list aren't going to make it into the People magazine "Sexiest Man Alive" issue, they keep me tuning in every week (heh, that sounded totally dirty).
Follow me after the jump for the undercover hotties: ten guys on TV I secretly love.
Heroes: Powerless
(S02E11) When Kristin offered up the chance to review the Fall (Season?) Finale of Heroes, I couldn't resist stepping in to help. While this episode lived up to a lot of the promises of the season, much like last season's finale, it may have been a little lighter on the action than you'd want. There are a lot of big changes for a lot of the characters and yes, the promised "hero" death. We get resolutions on the virus plot, the Sylar/Mya journey, Hiro's quest to stop Adam, the Bennet situation, and in the end, there's enough to entice us to come back for more. It's all here and let me tell you, if Kristin was yawning and checking her watch through the last episode, there wasn't time this week. This episode is absolutely jam-packed from start to finish. "Volume Two" wraps, and as with last year we get a teaser of Volume Three. But we'll get to all of that after the jump.
Heroes: Truth & Consequences
Overall, I think Heroes has come a long way since the beginning of the season. I think many Heroes viewers are just spoiled from the novelty and plot twists of the first season so they are critical when stories/characters aren't up to snuff.
But, that said, I am looking forward to the season finale. As the ads keep saying, "It all comes down to this."
Heroes: Cautionary Tales
(S02E09) "You've gone native. Are you kidding me?" Noah Bennet to Mohinder Suresh.
Just when you thought Mohinder couldn't get any stupider, he goes and shoots Noah Bennet in the eye. He is really in too deep with this company. And lately, he is making Matt Parkman look like a genius. (Wait, did Parkman just make me say that? Dumb joke, I know.) More on this after the jump because it basically took up the whole episode.
But before I go through all the storylines for this week, let me just say that I was so relieved that those ridiculous mascara-plague twins were absent from this week's Heroes. And just so I don't get too excited about it, I put a picture of them in the post to remind me that they are still on the show. (However, they are the vehicle to get the devilish Sylar back in the states so I suppose I forgive them on some level.)

VIDEO> Evergreen Drifting by Justin Shreeve
"Nothin' to Worry About" – Evergreen Invitational (MotorMavens) from Justin Shreeve Films on Vimeo.
Even a broken foot and multiple equipment issues didn't keep me from running around Evergreen Speedway last Sunday. Evergreen Drift's invite-only season opener was a great success, despite several wrecks… and even fires. Tires were destroyed on track, while old friends caught up with one another in the uncharacteristic warmth of the Washington sun.
This event was a testament to the true nature of drifting. Pushing through misfortune to create something beautiful, all the while having the collective time of our lives. I find it ironic that although times may be hard, when we come together to share what we love, we find a feeling of euphoria. (more…)

It's Six Nations Eve, everyone!
On Tuesday RTÉ brought us news of Philip Doyle's choice for Ireland's starting XV against Wales tomorrow night. (I know: RTÉ reporting on women in sport. Knock me
on over with a feather!)
The game kicks off this year's RBS Six Nations proceedings at Ashbourne RFC.
Also on Tuesday (knock me over a second time!), The Irish Times reported on captain Fiona Coghlan's thoughts about her expectations as Friday night approaches.
The primary concern lies with the lack of team games played in advance of the competition. Ireland haven't played a game since the last Six Nations. You read that right: that's almost exactly a year. And with plenty of new talent in the squad, Ireland will hit the ground running in terms of putting their training into practice.
We are set as we can be. We will have had four weekends together and there are some new faces in the squad so it will be good to see how they gel with the side in the first game out against Wales. They are similar to ourselves in that we haven't had much time in games to work on things so I would say we will be fairly even. This game is always a massive one for both sides.
Discussing the fresh faces to the team, the Ireland captain told IRFU TV that many of the new players have excellent levels of skill and understanding of the game. She continued:
There have been [new] underage teams set up, so girls are playing [rugby] at a younger age. Their skill level is higher, their understanding of the game is better. And then they've been coming up through the provincials. Then there were inter-pros, and they were spotted at that, and then brought into national training for strength and conditioning. [The new squad members] have been involved since September in training and conditionging, so it's been really good.
She confirmed that the development pathways from youth teams to national level are now meant to reflect the approach taken with the men's game.
Coghlan, along with Lynne Cantwell and fellow team mates also appeared on Monday's "Against the Head" on RTÉ Two. Those interviewed talked about their training, as well as about the challenges faced by the women's game and the fact that the women's game remains, as Ryle Nugent put it, "resolutely amateur". It's well worth a look (skip to 25 minutes in).
With all of that in mind, let's take a look at the fifteen players selected for tonight's game. There's a healthy mix: Legends of the Ball; hardy perennial stalwarts; and wee newbies fresh from making their way up through the ranks.
We'll also have a run-down of the XV's replacements tomorrow, so check back! An overview of the full squad named before Christmas can be found here.
So, without further ado, to the players:
- Backs
15. NEWBIE: Ashleigh Baxter (Belfast Harlequins/Ulster) *
Belfast native Baxter plays at fullback position, and is just a wee thing at 21 years of age and 5'5″. She teams up with experienced hands Alison Miller and Niamh Kavanagh to complete the back three. But don't let age or a singular cap deceive you: she began playing rugby in second year in school. Compare that with some of Ireland's top players who began their rugby careers after their school years. Unsurprising, then, that she spent the end of last year scoring oodles of tries and conversions. More of that, please!
14. Niamh Kavanagh (UL Bohemians/Munster)
This particular Niamh Kavanagh isn't Ireland's Eurovision legend, but is well on her way to becoming a legend for Ireland. Hailing from Offaly, Kavanagh made her first appearance for her country during last year's Six Nations, and in her first two appearances managed to score a try for Ireland in each game against France and Italy. According to the woman herself, she's met a Boston Celtic, is a fan of her Nan's beef dinners, and is a bit addicted to YouTube. Here's hoping she's brought her lucky sports bra. She told the Offaly Express her feelings on playing for Ireland: "I'm very lucky and privileged. There's loads of competition there. I don't know what way to describe it really but it's fantastic."
13. LEGEND: Niamh Briggs (UL Bohemians/Munster)
Careful now. Clonmel's own Garda Briggs, by now a fixture of the Irish team, won't take yer messin'. (Probably.) Previously playing the fullback position, Briggs joins Grace Davitt in the centre pairing. She's a one time Munster Women's Player of the Year, and member of Scrumqueens team of 2011. Keep up the kicking and get that long arm of the law over that try line, will ya?
12. Grace Davitt (Cooke/Ulster)
Stamullen's Grace Davitt has played at outhalf and on the wings, with clubs Boyne and Blackrock as well as her current club, Cooke RFC. Tomorrow night she'll play at inside centre, teaming up with Niamh Briggs. A reliable kicker for Ireland, she's also had her fair share of tries. Keep her lit, Davitt!
11. Alison Miller (Portlaoise/Highfield/Connacht)
Winger and full-back Miller is Connacht's captain, one of three provincial captains on the Ireland side. The peripatetic Laois woman, teacher and relative newcomer to rugby, starts against Wales on the left wing. Miller's sporting origins are in athletics. She rose through the ranks of Laois county football from the age of 21, had a brief dalliance with rugby while in college, before she began playing for Portlaoise RFC in 2009. She has risen steadily in three short years. Give those Welsh hell, Miller!
10. LEGEND: Lynne Cantwell (Exile)
Everyone loves an over-achiever. With a record number of caps for Ireland, and representing her country at no less than three World Cup tournaments, Cantwell will earn her 68th cap against Wales on tomorrow night. With another change in the usual player positions, she lines out in the fly half position and will team up with Amy Davis.
A graduate of the University of Limerick with a Masters from Southampton, Cantwell is a qualified physio, and isn't alone on the team in that respect. Previously working in Ireland and New Zealand, and popping over to Oz for an advanced diploma (as you do), she now works at a practice in the UK. Oh, and she's qualified in acupuncture. Starting out in rugby while at uni, she's played for Munster, UL Bohemians, College Rifles (Auckland), Richmond RFC; she's from Dublin's northside (superextrabonuspointsthankyou); she's happy to partake in a pinch of athletics, basketball, camogie and swimming; has been up for numerous awards and has won several (exhibit A, B and C); she's been nudging the IRFU towards holding Ireland's matches at Lansdowne Road; and has worked with the Wooden Spoon children's charity raising funds to improve the lives of mentally, physically and socially disadvantaged kids in the UK & Ireland. Plus she's mad for a chicken korma.
Did we mention that she's a legend?
9. Amy Davis (Blackrock/Leinster)
Comfortable at scrum half, wing or centre, Davis is another experienced hand for Ireland and will team up with Cantwell tomorrow at the scrum half position. A University of Ulster woman, originally for County Down, and with a rake of caps to her name, Davis can also turn her hand to athletics, weight lifting and water sports if the mood takes her. Here she is the chats with Ireland and Leinster team mate Tania Rosser.
- Forwards
1. LEGEND: Fiona Coghlan (UL Bohemians/Leinster) (capt.)
Yes, everyone loves Paul O'Connell and welcomes his captaincy for this year's Six Nations, but there was a kind of fabulous symmetry with Brian O'Driscoll as skipper: both he and Fiona Coghlan are Clontarf natives, both captain Leinster, and of course both captain the national team. Coghlan has spoken of her anticipation of tomorrow night's game against Wales: she knows they face a tough side but, despite the lack of game play with Ireland's new line-up, she's confident in her team. She stays on as prop tomorrow, leading Ireland in the loosehead position.
After Cantwell, she's one of the country's most capped players along with Joy Neville. A late-comer to rugby, she's always been an enthusiastic sports woman. She tried out for Munster before joining the Leinster squad, and was introduced to the national side in 2002. When Coghlan is not propping up the Irish scrum she's a full time PE and maths teacher. So behave down the back!
2. LEGEND: Gillian Bourke (UL Bohemians/Munster)
The University of Limerick just churns out Ireland's top rugby players, and here's another. Ireland's hooker tomorrow, Bourke is among our veterans at the front and can also be found playing at prop. She started with the national team in 2009, had the good fortune and tenacity to be part of the side that defeated France, and has been a fixture ever since. Bourke is keenly aware of the additional dedication and challenges faced by women players compared with the men: "People don't realise the commitment that women put in to play with their national team. I'm alright because my work can be reasonably flexible but there's girls there who have less suitable jobs. There are a few teachers on the team who have to go to their headmaster asking for about 15 days off when that mightn't be possible."
She's coached the UL team, as well as working as a youth development officer in Galway. Bourke is also a keen show jumper, if you don't mind. (She doesn't have much time for soccer players, though: they're just too soft.)
3. Ailis Egan (Old Belvedere/Leinster)
TCD graduate Egan is another top Leinster player on the national side. Her debut for Ireland was during last year's Six Nations tournament, and she plays again at tighthead prop, joining Coghlan and Bourke in the front row. Rack up those caps! Do Ireland proud! Trinners for winners!
4. Marie Louise Reilly (Old Belvedere/Leinster)
Although she has previously played at full back, Maz Reilly again takes up her position tomorrow night in the second row as lock. She first lined out for Ireland in 2010. And how did it feel to get picked for the Ireland squad for the first time? "Shock … nerves … excitement! Just delighted as I knew my family would be very proud."
Prior to playing for Old Belvedere she played with Navan and with her first club, Tralee. From the land of the Lilywhites, Reilly attended Scoil Dara in Kilcock, attended college in Tralee, lives in Meath, and works as a sports development officer. So there now.
5. NEWBIE: Sophie Spence (Exile) *
Welcoming another new face into the Six Nations squad, Spence takes up the number 5 lock position in the second row. A current member of the Mowden Sharks, her previous clubs have been Teesside Uni and Darlington. In the autumn she made a powerful run for the Irish Exiles against Camp Hill (Birmingham), bursting through several tackles to earn a try under the posts. Her birthday's at the end of the month, so let's hope it's a particularly special one!
6. LEGEND: Laura Guest (Highfield/Munster)
Clonakitly's finest. A flanker with Munster, Laura Guest is another of Irelands legendary players. Tomorrow, she'll be the blindside flanker with back row forwards Molloy and Neville. She's also been a prop for Ireland, and plays tighthead for Highfield RFC. During the 2010 World Cup, she stepped in as prop to replace the injured Lauren Day.
A graduate of the University of Limerick, Guest is a former Clonakilty and UL Bohs player, has earned nine caps, is a secondary school teacher, and coach to UCC's rugby team. She's partial to a bit of golf, cycling, swimming and camogie if they're going.
7. Claire Molloy (Bristol/Exile)
Openside flanker for Connacht, and captain of Cardiff University's first XV, Galwegian Claire Molloy remains in this position for Ireland, although she's also comfortable as a centre. She plays her club rugby for Bristol. Molloy spoke with IRFU TV before the 2010 World Cup, and gave an insight into Connacht's training and conditioning, as well as the experience of integrating into the national side. (Blogging Scrum Caps and Handbags for the IRFU, she also provided a ..unique post-World Cup run-down.) A GAA enthusiast, when her university studies in medicine took her to Wales, she settled for the next best thing: rugby. And thank feck for that.
. LEGEND: Joy Neville (UL Bohemians/Munster)
Munster captain, former Ireland captain, one of Ireland's most capped Ireland players with 58 caps, and a fixture of the national side for nine years. She made the Scrumqueens Team of 2011 and is described thusly: "The Ireland number 8 is an expert positional player with an array of ball skills. Works well from the base even when under pressure."
Like Coghlan, Neville with IRFU TV, and described the team's preparation and the challenges they expect to face this week. She stays at the number 8 position tomorrow night. Yesterday, she spoke again about her expectations for the game, and how she's looking forward to settle some scores against Wales:
All the training leading up to it has been really exciting and to put that jersey on, there is no better feeling to be honest.
Any time we play in the Six Nations will be a challenge but I'm really looking forward to playing Wales.
Wales is always a very hard tie. They are very strong and play with a lot of heart when they play against the likes of us.
A Limerick woman, she studied Social Studies and Social Care, works with a charitable organisation in her day-job, and has given her support to the Women's Aid 16 Days campaign.

Fed Cup: Czech Republic beat Serbia to retain title in Prague
The Czech Republic secured back-to-back Fed Cup titles with a 3-1 win over Serbia before fervent fans in Prague.
A backhand winner from world number 17 Lucie Safarova sparked celebratory scenes in the Czech capital as she beat Jelena Jankovic 6-1 6-1.
Petra Kvitova and Safarova had put the defending champions in control on Saturday by winning the opening singles rubbers for a 2-0 lead.
Ana Ivanovic reduced the arrears by beating Kvitova 6-3 7-5 on Sunday.
But Safarova defeated Serb number two Jankovic in one hour and 17 minutes to prevent the first-time finalists becoming the first team in the competition's history to overturn a 2-0 deficit in the final.
The Fed Cup
The Fed Cup is an international team event for women. Like the men's Davis Cup, ties are played in a best-of-five format with four singles and one doubles match. Nations are organised into groups, with the eight in the top-flight World Group playing a knockout competition to determine the champions
The world number 17 hit 32 winners, describing her performance against the world number 22 as one of her best.
"It's hard to describe how I feel. I played an unbelievable game," Safarova said. "I desperately wanted to win and I'm really delighted. It's fantastic to win at home, in Prague. I played one of the best matches of my career."
Kvitova seemed to be suffering from the ill-effects of a cold that forced her to pull out of last week's WTA Championship.
The defeat by Ivanovic ended the world number eight's 11-game unbeaten run in the Fed Cup.
"I lost a lot of strength [on Saturday] and I was also drained emotionally," said Kvitova.
"I lacked energy. The doctor gave me some sugar during a bathroom break but it didn't help much."

Dog carer says thanks for saving 'mischievous pups'
Posted: August 11, 2013|
TWO mischievous dogs are safe and well after disappearingfrom their holiday home in Shaldon – thanks to community spirit.
The pair of King Charles Spaniels were being looked after for friends by Shaldon'sformer parish council chairman Maia Miller.
Within an hour of their 8.30am disappearance word had spreadlike wildfire, thanks to Maia's eight-year-old great neice Amelie who made andhanded out posters around the town.
The dogs - three-year-old brother and sister - were eventuallyfound by a horse rider more than two miles away, covered in mud, possiblytrying to find their way back home to Newton Abbot.
Amelie's mum Claudia Jordan, said: "I got on Twitter. I was amazed how quickly the appeal was picked up."Before long the Herald Express, local police and even Sky TV's Kay Burley, the longest serving female newsreader on British TV, were retweeting.
The dogs' owners, on holiday in California, still don't know of their adventures.
"I was amazed at the speed at which they dashed through the open front door, they have tiny legs" said Maia.
She said she was astounded by the community support: "My Great niece Amelie and her Mum had produced posters and leaflets by 9.30am and the search was in full swing.
"My niece stayed at the house, working her Twitter. I was overwhelmed when she told me that Kay Burley along with RSPCA and The Herald Express were tweeting about our pups.
"I was very concerned that the dogs don't know the area."
At 11am Maia's phone rang. A local horse rider had found them at the top of the valley. In just two and a half hours, the King Charles Spaniels had travelled two miles.
As they arrived home wet and muddy, local PCSO Colin Rider arrived to check on progress.
"I really would like to thank everyone in both the Shaldon Community as well as Twitter," Maia said.
"This really does show how wonderfully well our community, both local and virtual, mobilises in the event of an emergency and it's as a result of this effort that the pups were found. From now on they will be confined to barracks in their newly made pound in the garden other than very supervised walks until they return to their family! "

Weidmann Says ECB Liquidity Must Not Delay Reforms, FAS Reports
April 21 (Bloomberg) -- Bundesbank President Jens Weidmann said "the generous supply" of liquidity from the European Central Bank must not result in banks and governments postponing necessary reforms, Frankfurter Allgemeine Sonntagszeitung reported.
European banks need to "thoroughly adjust" balance sheets and strengthen capital levels while governments have to quickly implement structural reforms and credibly consolidate budgets, the newspaper cited Weidmann as saying in a preview of a story that will run tomorrow. If countries need bridging help during that process, providing such aid is the task of European rescue programs and not of central banks, Weidmann said.
Central banks' monetary measures must "not replace, nor delay, adjustments," Weidmann told the German newspaper.

THE ANGEL CHANNEL story treatment

THE ANGEL CHANNEL by Sheri Leigh Myers and Ed Kovacs
"The Angel Channel" is a gritty, magical fable about a desperate mom named Ella. She's a nearly-great professional singer who's just done two years in prison and is determined to make it up to her son, Danny. They've fortunately landed in a small town in Crowley, in the heart of Prairie Cajun Country. It's full of kind, caring people who, despite their struggles, take Ella and Danny into their hearts. A mysterious glitch appears on Ella's TV. People call it an angel and flock to ask the Angel for help. And sometimes miracles occur. Although they call her "The Angel Lady," Ella does not buy the "miracle" thing for a minute. But she goes along with it and profits from it. Danny is all she really cares about. All that matters to her, is making up for those lost years and providing him with the chances to be great. `Til the night she's in terrible straits, jammed into a deep ditch, out in the middle of nowhere.
The film will utilize the authentic beauty and charm of Crowley, Louisiana – a Prairie Cajun town that is timeless. The WPA courthouse, the Victorian homes, the rice worker shacks provide a classic canvas for our story. Louisiana music weaves through; from a radio tuned to the local station, to bars and hotel rooms and recording studios where our actor/musicians perform.
Gabriella Birney was blessed with the voice of an angel. Growing up poor in Mississippi, she sang solos in the church choir from early on. People compared her gift to Eva Cassidy's. Like Eva, there was a shadow over Gabriella's life. At the age of 15, Gabby got pregnant and ran away to Texas, where she raised her son Danny in a series of homeless shelters. Eventually she found steady work on a low-rent Mississippi River boat casino, dealing cards and from time to time, singing.
Billy Dixon, a brilliant blues player fighting demons and addictions (and losing) was playing the casino lounges along the River when they met. Nineteen year-old Gabriella fell under his dark spell; Billy promised they would be famous. For eight years the "Two Blues" toured small clubs across the South with Danny riding in the back seat. It was a life fraught with incredible music and a lot of drinking, drugging and bad behavior… on both sides. Their living hell ended in a Memphis recording studio, where Billy beat the crap out of Gabby and took off. Disappeared. Gabriella's fresh hell was finding herself penniless with a 12 year-son and a heroin habit. Consequently she did some things she shouldn't, to make rent and score dope. Then her "luck" ran out. She was caught and sentenced to two years at the Central Mississippi Correctional Facility for check kiting.
Danny went into foster care. As he bounced from one mismatched "family" to another, he withdrew into the world of architecture. There, he latched onto Oscar Niemeyer, the designer of Brasilia – structures of poured concrete that seem to float in space. Danny's fierce focus got him through a horrendous time but his brilliance and obsessive nature seems bizarre to other, "normal" kids.
It's a year after Gabriella's release from prison; she's changed her name to Ella Dolan.
Working as an itinerant waitress, she and Danny have been criss-crossing the deep South, staying in obscure towns, searching for a safe place to start over. Ella feels her time has passed (and she blew it), but Danny's artistic career has yet to begin. Nothing matters more to her than staying away from the world of music and devils like Billy, staying clean, and providing that break for her son.
Today, on this hot Louisiana afternoon, a letter arrives that's been trailing after them for two months. Astonishing, scary news – Danny's been accepted into a six-week summer program for promising young architects in Chicago. Unfortunately, Ella's got to come up with $5,000 in a month to hold his spot. She calls her son from Chubby's Cajun Café and Lounge, where she's got a lunchtime gig. Danny is in the high school cafeteria, twisting paper plates and snack bags to replicate a Niemeyer creation, trying in his awkward way to share his ideas with Therese Broussard – a pretty, 14 year-old Cajun. She lives next door to the "Dolans" with her Maw Maw, (Cajun grandmother) Marie Broussard.
Just as Ella feared, Danny's reaction is over-the-top and dark. "It's impossible! Forget it!" She vows to find the money for Danny to get to Chicago. It's hard for him to take comfort, since nothing ever seems to work out for them. He goes home to sulk.
Minutes later, Ella hears a couple of the local bigwigs – Parish D.A. Rhett Rabelais (40) and Police Chief Bud Hebert, (63) discussing their weekly (secret) poker game and search for a venue. "Hey, I'll host." she offers, casually. They take her up on it.
That night, as Ella prepares her shabby home for the poker game, she sings along to the radio. In the living room, Danny switches channels, frustrated. Their old TV is dark, except for a small rainbow-colored butterfly-shape pulsing in the middle. He finally gives up, turns off the set and takes out the trash. Tab Theriot (40) the town playboy and owner/publisher of the Acadian News, pulls up front in his 507 BMW. He's immediately enchanted by the gorgeous sound of Ella's voice, and when she appears, her wild beauty and sensuality. He even likes her off-hand attitude. She's not impressed that the Golden Boy of Lachepas thinks she's cute. She's got a card game to run. No, she says, with an edge, she's not a singer. "Oh yes, she is," Danny whispers to Tab. "But, it's all a question of what you believe… isn't it?"
Meanwhile, in a bad, darkened motel room, a man with a caved-in face and fierce eyes plays his guitar, and sings his raw blues.
A little later, in her cozy kitchen, Ella's all business as she plays poker with Tab, D.A. Rabelais, Chief Bud, and Happy Luk, the easygoing, irreverent Asian American who owns and runs "Happy Chow" in town. On her counter-top TV, they watch D.A. Rabelais, (who is running for Mayor) vow to rid the town of "questionable charities." His poker pals tease and mock him. It's fine getting razzed by guys he's grown up with, but Ella's witty quips are not appreciated. After she accidentally spills a drink on his linen suit, beats him at poker and collects a nice pile of winnings, he leaves in a huff. All the rest of the guys (especially Tab) are eager to return.
Later Ella counts $300 in winnings, a great start for Danny's Chicago fund. Danny's disgusted and fearful. He saw her switch decks to defeat Rabelais. Cheating isn't worth it and she can't make enough to cover the tuition, he says, and he wants her to stop. She can't, and won't. She's vowed to get that money together for his future.
The next morning, Danny is banging on the TV to get rid of the electronic disturbance. Therese observes with a giggle, that it kinda looks like an angel. Ella wakes up and gives Danny permission to call the repairman. She also sends Therese over to her maw maw's to see if there's any problems on her TV set. Maybe there's bad weather somewhere. Next door, Marie and five elderly ladies – a gospel group called "The Acadian Queens" – are making crawfish pie and singing. Missus Riva, Evangeline, Glenora, Marguerite and the fragile Miss Amie all brighten when Marie announces that Therese has seen an angel on the TV set next door!
Over at Ella's, the cranky TV repairman Al Landers declares that it may well be an electronic glitch, but he doesn't see any point in taking the TV apart. Nevertheless, he demands his $100 for house call. As Danny pays the bill with Ella's winnings, a heated dispute arises. Not only is Ella swearing at the uber-religious repairman, she's accusing Al of taking advantage of them. He stomps out, to meet the Acadian Queens, who are excited to see the Angel on Ella's TV. Al's enraged. " God's messengers don't come forth as Saturday morning entertainment!" Ella brushes him off and invites the gals inside.
The Queens settle in front of the set, mesmerized by the undulating, rainbow-winged glitch. Marie asks permission to stay and pray to the Angel. Ella thinks it's a nutty idea, but relents. One Queen makes an excited phone call to her sister, who's getting her hair done at "Treasured Looks." The Lachepas postal carrier happens to be there.
Ella's living room is soon crowded with local folk peering at the glitch. Even Tab Theriot arrives, with Randy Babineaux, his cub reporter from the paper. Ella's secretly happy to see Tab. They flirt. Their attention shifts when the crippled Miss Amie, guided by Marie, takes steps without her walker to the "Angel" and even does a little Cajun two-set. People are ecstatic and tearful. Danny's astonishment is tempered by his mother's cynical take that there's no miracle here, just a psychosomatic healing. Happens all the time. The only miracle Ella has witnessed is the bowl of cash donations that's filling up in front of the TV. She introduces herself as The Angel Lady and invites everyone back.
That night, as Ella exuberantly counts the donations and makes plans to set up a snack bar, Danny voices his fierce opposition. If she truly doesn't believe, it's not right to take advantage of people by posing as some goody two-shoes "Angel Lady." His mom's not to be deterred; she's going to get Danny into the program by milking this cash cow. "It's not worth it. Lies always catch up to us!" he yells. Distressed, wondering if he might be right, Ella's taking stock out in her back yard when Marie comes over with crawfish pie and thanks. Ella won't talk about her troubles. Marie advises, "Ask your Angel for help. It appeared on your TV, for you." Well, lying to a roomful of strangers is one thing, but Ella really loves Marie and she can't fake it. Marie won't hear that the TV Angel is not real. She figures the only problem is Ella's faith. She has to believe.
Faith or no faith, Ella takes to the role of "The Angel Lady" with zeal. As word spreads throughout the Parish and more folks forego Sunday church to sit in front of the glitch, the opposition to The Angel Lady builds. D.A. Rabelais is all too willing to pick up the sword of justice, attack the demonic Angel Lady and win the grateful Christian vote to get elected Mayor of Crowley. He launches a public campaign to investigate the Angel Lady and her devilish business. Ella is forced to respond on camera and fight for the right of folks to pray wherever they see fit. She's got to see this thing through, long enough to get the tuition raised for Chicago. However, Danny's coming under increasingly violent harassment at school. He wants to give the set away so the crazy crowds with their healing fever will go somewhere else. Danny dreads that, now that Ella's in the paper and on TV, Billy will find them.
He has. Billy Dixon caught a glimpse of Ella on the news, as he was playing at some backwater dive. He shows up at their door late one night. Ella's in the shower. Danny opens the door, realizing too late that it's Billy. Danny flashes back to the last time he saw Billy, beating up his mom at the studio. He's a helpless, frightened kid all over again. Ella hears the shouting, comes out of the shower, Danny runs out, suddenly it's just she and Billy. He tells her he still loves her, he's begging for her forgiveness and, he figures that since she's the Angel Lady, she'll give it to him. "Two Blues" needs to get back together, to capitalize on her new-found fame and cash in. As he sits and does a couple lines, he sips from his flask and outlines his plan; sell the TV Angel/Glitch to this megachurch pastor in Arkansas, who'll give `em enough to get back on the road and revive the glory days. Cut a new album. He starts singing one of their old songs.
Ella plays along with his psychotic rant until she can reach her pistol. Then she threatens to kill him if he doesn't leave them alone. She drills bullet holes into the fin of Billy's caddy as he peels away, then tosses the gun, immediately scared and regretting she lost control. Danny's gone. Billy's out there. Marie and Therese come over and promise to call her if Danny returns.
Ella drafts Tab into helping her search, without giving the real details. He's happy to help, to be near her. Although Tab has positioned the paper as a wry observer of the Angel phenomena, he's been falling in love with the Angel Lady. Out of her mind with worry and frustration, Ella confesses that the Angel was made up. Tab is shocked. He never imagined she was a fraud; he believed she believed. Ella swears to tell him everything, and confesses that she cheated him at poker. But she doesn't tell Tab about her drug-scarred past and the bad old lover she just nearly blew away, because Chief calls with the good news that they picked Danny up out on the highway.
Danny refuses to return home to his mother's house. He's sick of the chaos, and elects to stay at Tab's home until The Angel is gone. Ella has no choice but to give in. Her heart is breaking. Her plan to get to Chicago to start Danny on a new, better path has gone horribly awry. Her troubles are about to explode.
Billy has taken his revenge by telling D.A. Rabelais that he saw a drug kit at the home of The Angel Lady, aka ex-con, Gabriella Birney. The Crowley police conduct a raid and Ella is tossed into jail. An angry Tab posts bail. Ella can't talk to him about Billy, he doesn't want to hear it. This is a new ring in Hell for Ella. The Angel Lady's fallen from grace, her TV's been confiscated with the coffee can full of Danny's tuition money. And Billy's still out there.
Strangely, D.A. Rabelais shows up at her door, offering Ella a deal. He will find a way to drop the drug charges if Ella will announce to the world that the Angel is a sham, give up the TV, and promptly leave Crowley. (Billy just informed Rabelais that the drugs the police found at Ella's were his. The deal is, Rabelais can buy Billy's silence if he gives him the TV.) Ella tells Rabelais she'll think about it. "Don't take too much time. You've got a court appearance tomorrow morning."
It's night and it's starting to storm. But Ella's on the move. She's packing and rummaging through her closet for her secret stash of cash as we see Tab and Danny discuss with Chief Bud the likelihood that bad Billy left the drugs at the house.
She walks over to Marie's, where the Acadian Queens are baking and singing. They still believe in their Angel Lady; they're holding a bake sale to help pay Ella's attorney fees. Despite all their love and forgiveness, Ella is a wreck. She takes Marie aside to hand her a stash of cash for Tab, who posted bail. The plan is to get out of town, set up somewhere, and send for Danny. Marie begs Ella to stay and to face her demons, but Ella's in a quandary. If she does what the D.A. asks, and confesses that the TV Angel is a fake, what happens to people like Miss Amie, who believe the Angel brought her a miracle? Ella can't do it. Miss Marie pushes open the door to her bedroom and reveals Ella's TV. "Ask your Angel." Fortunately, Marie had a feeling that the bad guy in the Cadillac might return when Ella was out looking for Danny, so she switched TVs. It's Marie's TV sitting in the evidence locker. Ella, stonefaced, walks out with her TV. There's that pastor with the megachurch in Texas who wants the Angel. Ella can cash in, and maybe despite everything, get Danny to Chicago.
As Ella drives through the bayou, miles away from Lachepas and any civilization, the storm intensifies. She loses control of her truck and plunges into a ditch. The TV comes loose from its moorings and pins her down. Ella can't move anything but her lips. Finally, she asks for help, even though it's clearly too late. Then, she blacks out.
Ella awakes to a bright white light pouring through the passenger window. It's Marie, who energetically lifts off the TV and advises Ella that she has "all the tools she needs to save herself." And wouldn't you know, Ella's broken tow cable is working! They manage to pull her truck back onto the road. Whereas before, Ella couldn't believe that the TV Angel was real, now, she wants to believe. There must be miracles if her tow chain held and Marie found her! It's a bitter shock when Ella tests the TV and the Three Stooges comes on. Marie consoles her, "Maybe that glitch was not the Angel after all. Maybe we are Angels to each other. Maybe the miracle is that you asked for help. Because of that, I found you." Ella understands that what was missing in her life was faith that miracles are possible in her life, too. Her gratitude is boundless. "What can I possibly do to repay you?" Marie responds, "Sing! Sing for me, sing for the people, sing for the world!" Then she drives off. She's late for choir practice.
It's dawn. Ella wakes up, bruised and bloodied, in the cab of her truck, in the middle of the road. The TV, still showing The Three Stooges, sits on the seat next to her. She turns her truck back toward Crowley and hits the gas.
At the Acadia Parish courthouse, where the "disgraced" Angel lady is scheduled to appear, all kinds of shenanigans are going on. D.A. Rabelais is in the evidence room, making secret arrangements with the Officer to hand over Miss Marie's TV to Billy when he arrives. Tab and the Chief catch wind of this. Chief arranges to haul the TV up to the police lab for "fingerprinting" before Billy can get his hands on it. Tab turns on his hidden tape recorder and, posing as an assistant to Rabelais, tries to convince Billy they need him to plant more dope before he gets the Angel TV. Billy's not playing. He's coked up and hostile and looking to punch someone out.
The courtroom is packed full of Angel Lady supporters and detractors. The Acadian Queens are all there, except for Miss Marie. Ella has yet to appear. Her public defender is sweating bullets. Just as the Judge is about to issue a warrant for her arrest, Ella shows up, a bloodied and bruised sight to behold. Danny is tremendously relieved; her supporters are thrilled. Ella launches into a wild confession – yes, she was guilty of conning people with the TV Angel, but now she realizes that the glitch inspired people to have Faith. And because of faith, miracles can occur. And thanks to Miss Marie, that's what Ella understands that it's all about. It's important what we believe. Cheered by her supporters, Ella proceeds to defend herself against the drug charges. Chaos erupts in the courtroom as her detractors shout insults and her supporters fire back.
Elsewhere in the building, Tab manages to dupe Billy into confessing that he set Ella up. There's a fist fight, that Tab wins. In the courtroom, just as Ella is about to be arrested for contempt, Tab bursts in with the recorded evidence to expose District Attorney Rabelais' culpability. Behind him, Chief Bud drags a beaten and handcuffed Billy. The case is dismissed. D.A. Rabelais is arrested. The crowd goes wild.
Moments later, Ella finds out from Miss Marie's grieving friends that the dear woman died of a heart attack immediately after Ella left town… hours before she appeared to Ella on the back bayou road.
An astonished, tearful smile spreads across Ella's face.
The last scene is the International Rice Festival, where Mayor Roux introduces "Ella and the Acadian Queens" to many thousands of people. Our Ella comes out on stage, her soul and brilliance on fire. She spreads her arms in the light and looks just like an angel.

© Copyright 2015 Clayton News Daily
By Joel email@example.com On Tuesday, the citizens of Riverdale are expecting to cast their votes once more to pick a mayor and Ward 2 councilmember. However, at 9:30 a.m., today, two unsuccessful candidates in the Nov. 6 election will request that the Clayton County Superior Court stop Tuesday's runoff election and void the previous results. The two claim voter fraud, ballot tampering, and illegal campaigning took place before that election. Incumbent Mayor Phaedra Graham is preparing to defend her seat against political newcomer, Evelyn Wynn-Dixon, and Ward 2 Councilwoman Michelle Bruce faces Wayne Hall. In preparation for the election, Riverdale citizens organized two public forums to give candidates a chance to discuss their platforms and field questions from the public. The latest of these took place Thursday night at Riverdale First United Methodist Church. Only Wynn-Dixon and Bruce appeared. Both Wynn-Dixon and Bruce spoke to a mostly favorable crowd, and their comments were often met with applause. "I want to let people now how we should act ... how a city should be operating," said Wynn-Dixon. "I want to take dignity, humbleness, and humility into the City Hall [so that] people want to work with us and do not dread coming to City Hall." Wynn-Dixon said that, if elected, she would implement a 100-day "healing process" to restore the citizens' faith in their elected officials. While Wynn-Dixon focused on her plans for the city, Bruce focused on her accomplishments during her one term in office, and her plans to go forward with the city's Town Center development project. "Two out of three Riverdale citizens voted to move on building the Town Center," said Bruce. "After a challenge from special-interest groups, we are back on track with this project. To do what is right for all of the people of Riverdale ... that is why I am here today." Bruce, a transgender candidate who identifies as a woman, also spoke of allegations made by Stan Harris and Georgia Fuller -- two candidates who lost in the Nov. 6 election -- that she is a man, who lied to voters by running for office as a female. "I am in a runoff election, because special-interest groups believe that if they can spend enough money ... and make these false and personal attacks against me ... they can win," Bruce said. "Well, they're wrong. We can do a whole lot better." Citizens expressed displeasure that Graham and Hall did not attend the forum. "It was disappointing that the mayor and the other candidate didn't show up to answer questions, which raises questions to me," said Helenia Ford, of Riverdale. "Why should we put you in office, if you don't care enough to come out." "How are you going to support the people when you don't even show up to find out what the citizens' concerns are," said Audrey Cole, a Riverdale business owner. "Riverdale needs a new beginning. Right now we are at a standstill ... tonight represents a door-opener." Hall, who attended the first political forum on Nov. 1, was not present at Thursday's forum due to a scheduling conflict, he said. "I certainly would have been in attendance," said Hall. Graham, who was not present at the Nov. 1 or Nov. 29 forums, prepared a statement going into the runoff, which read in part: "I am working diligently to reach as many voters as I can. "Hence, due to schedule constraints, I had to attend to a prior scheduled commitment." While Tuesday's election will go forward as scheduled, according to Riverdale city officials, the hearing today in Superior Court could cancel the election results. During the hearing, Riverdale Ward 4 councilman Kenny Ruffin will answer to allegations of illegal campaigning during a public event, City Clerk Stephanie Thomas will answer accusations that ballots were tampered with during the Nov. 6 election, and Bruce will answer to allegations that she lied about her gender. Riverdale City Attorney Deana Johnson, who will represent city officials in court, said the law is on the city's side. "I think the law is pretty clear in maintaining election results," said Johnson. "It's a hard burden of proof for the plaintiff, I'll tell you that." Michael King, the Jonesboro attorney representing Harris and Fuller, could not be reached for comment Friday. Harris, however, said he and Fuller would appeal the decision, if the judge rules against them.

PORCELINA!Posted on 08/03/2010 by Mary
I want a pig! I want a pig just like Porcelina but I'm going to name mine Ponyboy! And I want to re-enroll in school so I can bring my pig to class in my bag! And I'll put a little chef's hat on him, and I'll feed him little treats while he goes grunt grunt grunt and I'll hold him and pet him and never let him go! Basically, squeee. Literally.
The Cutest Thing I've Seen TodayPosted on 06/02/2010 by Lisa
Are you watching Drake and Josh right now? If not, put it on, because here's what you'll see:
Squeeeeee! BABY SHEEP!! I mean, just look at those widdle sheepy hooves and that tiny pink nose, and those ears that look like they belong on a stuffed animal, because they are way too cute to possibly be real.
I've never kissed a baby sheep on the head, but right now, I really-eally want to. Hmm... maybe I'll pick up my little dog and pretend. (He won't mind. He likes cuddling.)
Comet from Full House as a puppyPosted on 04/08/2010 by Lisa
The episode of Full House that's on RIGHT NOW is the one where a dog named Minnie has puppies in the Full House house (OK, that's awkward phrasing, but saying she has puppies in the Full House would be worse, right?) Basically, it's the episode where Comet is born. The title of this post is what D.J. says after seeing it happen. Don't worry, they don't show anything gross on TV -- just lots of cute puppies.
In fact, one of these very puppies might be Comet. If you want to see these puppies in motion, turn on your TV!
