How is this place set-up? Tables and chairs? Standing room only? TIA
Bump. kthnx
They have two floors. Stage is obviously on the first floor. When you walk in, the bar is along the right side and they have small tables and chairs set up on the left. In front of the stage is all standing. Upstairs has more tables and chairs, unfortunately no bar up there though. Also a pool table or two up there. Pretty small place, but fun for a good show.
Outstanding. I was hoping for the more personal type of place. Dredg is playing there tomorrow and I am damn excited!

According to a report from New Zealand's TVNZ, a high school boy bought Ritalin to stay awake and play Xbox 360 games, but ended up in the hospital. The report claims that the boy was brought into the hospital "White as a sheet and hyperventilating" after he used a "makeshift device" to snort Ritalin he scored from a classmate. The 15-year-old told his father that he obtained the drug through a classmate and had been using it for quite some time. His father claims that he later found "two empty capsules, a stripped-down pen nib for snorting and a metallic crushing device in his son's room."
Though the father and son managed to get on television and in the press both remain unidentified. The father claims that he contacted the school about the incident.
Challenged about his drug use, the son told his father that Ritalin was "not addictive".
"Being such a traumatic, emotional experience of thinking my boy was dying, to 'he is snorting drugs,' put me in shock," the father told the news media. "I had a hundred questions but was too shocked and drained to address them."
"If they have Ritalin in their houses it needs to be kept in a secure place," the father added, speaking of what parents need to do to control access to prescription drugs. "They all think their kids are angels."
For its part, the school claims that all prescription drugs are administered and controlled by staff and students are not allowed to carry it around school. Principal Ross Sinclair added that the school was investigating the alleged Ritalin incident but was hampered by the father's refusal to identify himself or the boy. Sinclair also denied the allegations that drug use was rife within his school.

Got Flu? 5 commentsAug 21, 2012 8:38 PM | about stocks: NNVC
NanoViricides (NYSEMKT:NNVC) has developed an array of anti-viral drug candidates that after a series of successful testing of efficiency in the lab are now being tested in animal models. If successful in animal models, the next phase will be human testing. They have been administering the drug through IV injection and more recently have been testing an oral formulation. Being able to take a pill instead of being injected is the difference between Hillary Clinton and Angelina Jolie.
On August 13, 2012 NNVC announced, "...that anti-influenza drug candidates under its FluCide™ program, when given orally, were nearly as effective as when administered as IV injections." In other words, there was not much difference in results that were achieved between IV injections and oral administration. Big deal?
No, the big deal was announced yesterday, August 20th:NanoViricides Reports That Oral Administration of FluCide® Anti-Influenza Drug Candidates Led to Survival Improvements Comparable to IV Administration and Was Far Superior to Oseltamivir, in a Highly Lethal Animal Model
'The survival data clearly show that oral as well as IV administration of FluCide drug candidates was substantially superior to oseltamivir. In addition, they show that FluCide drug candidates when given orally had substantial efficacy, almost matching the effectiveness of the injectable form given at 0.3X of the oral dosage level."
Oseltamivir is commonly known as Tamiflu. The most recent sales numbers I could find were from 2009:
"Tamiflu is sold by Roche Pharmaceuticals (OTCQX:RHHBY). Sales in the first quarter 2009 were $347 million worldwide, of which Roche noted that $264 million were pandemic stockpiling and $84 million were from seasonal use."
How effective is Tamiflu in the treatment of common influenza?
On average, oseltamivir reduces the duration of symptoms by one and a half days if treatment is started within forty-eight hours of the beginning of symptoms.
Does Tamiflu have any side effects?
The most frequent side effects of oseltamivir are nausea,vomiting, diarrhea, bronchitis, abdominal pain, headache and dizziness.
As for NNVC's FluCide, in the most lethal form of influenza it doubled the survival rates as compared to Tamiflu.
"We are seeing an extremely high level of oral effectiveness. We now know that FluCide can be developed as an oral drug for out-patient influenza," said Eugene Seymour, MD, MPH, CEO of the Company, adding, "Many drugs are commercialized as oral drugs even if the oral dose needed is as high as five times the injectable dose."
Monday's announcement goes on:
No adverse effects were found, indicating that the FluCide dose could be increased further to achieve much greater levels of effectiveness.
Now the good news. NNVC has a market cap of under $100M. While NNVC has relentlessly pursued it's vision of an anti-viral paradigm changing medical miracle, loyal shareholders have suffered through years of a fickle marketplace, dotted with ruthless short sellers and dilutive offerings.
I saved the very best for last. NNVC is trading at $0.58 and it's chart resembles the slope and terrain of the expert runs at Aspen. But even the worst looking chart can hide a butterfly in the making. NNVC is about to emerge from a seven year cocoon. Let's see how she flies.
Disclosure: I am long NNVC.
Additional disclosure: I first bought NNVC in 2005 between 8-10c. Along the way I have sold some for as much as $3.00 and change, bought more at $0.44-0.50, sold some at about $2.00 and have held on to the remaining shares, having probably what amounts to a zero basis.....or less. I am likely to buy more in the coming year.Stocks: NNVCBack To Allan Harris' Instablog HomePage »

The company is very response to shareholder inquiries and questions about time frames should be directed to management. One of the very best ways to keep updated on progress is to read carefully each press release and spend some time at the company's web site. Pay special attention to the quarterly SEC filings as they contain a wealth of information.

6th Frame by Frame Series Kicks Off Tomorrow
by Karl Beck
The Sixth Annual Frame by Frame Documentary Film Series offers the infrequent opportunity of viewing documentary films in a theatrical setting. More enticing is the variety and roster of docs being screened in this year's lineup.
This year's topics encompass a variety of subjects, including Cuban refugees, Chernobyl aid workers, female castration, and other relevant global and cultural issues. Highlights include the unnerving "Capturing the Friedmans," which was a hit at Sundance before successfully hitting theaters earlier this year. "Naked World" documents artist Spencer Tunick's latest project, while "Born Rich" offers a glimpse into the world of the children of the very very rich.
The film series also includes a "Mingle with the Maker" event alongside select screenings. Panels include a moderated discussion with the filmmakers about their work. The Frame By Frame in New York will run from Oct. 17th - 23rd at The Screening Room in Manhattan. The event is presented by HBO and AIVF (Association of Independent Video and Filmmakers).
Other films screening include Rory's Kennedy's "A Boy's Life," Carles Bosch and Josep Maria Domènech's "Balseros," Kim Longinotto's "The Day I Will Never Forget," Jay Rosenblatt's "I Used to Be A Filmmaker," and Cynthia Wade's "Shelter Dogs."

PHOENIX (AP) — A spokeswoman at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base says rescuers from southern Arizona have reached two critically injured Chinese sailors whose boat sunk in the Pacific Ocean.
Sarah Schwennesen said Sunday that a Venezuelan fishing boat found the sailors floating in a raft Saturday morning after their vessel sank off the coast of Mexico. She says the sailors were burned in either a fire or explosion.
It's unclear how many other crew members were aboard the sunken Chinese boat or if there were fatalities.
Schwennesen says airmen from the 563rd Rescue Group stabilized the sailors overnight. They will be hoisted onto helicopters Sunday and flown to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, 1,100 nautical miles east of the Venezuelan vessel. They will then be taken to a burn unit in La Jolla, California.

Brilliant Italian admits he 'agreed' he join Chelsea!
Juventus playmaker Andrea Pirlo has revealed how he turned down the chance to play for Chelsea, after a last-minute intervention from Silvio Berlusconi.
The former AC Milan midfielder admits he had already agreed a move to the Blues – presumably during Carlo Ancelotti's reign between 2009-2011 – but was talked out of it by the Rossoneri president.
'I had already reached an agreement with Chelsea, then after Berlusconi intervened and I stayed at Milan. I was also very close with Capello at Real Madrid and nearly joined them in 2006,' he explained in his autobiography.' (The Metro)
Pirlo is still a great player despite his age and he would have been a fantastic addition to the Premier League and Chelsea's squad if he did make the move back when he had the chance too.

Emirates 777 airplane gets blown sideways while attempting to land in England (VIDEO)
A pilot's quick actions helped keep passengers safe when strong winds caused the plane he was attempting to land in England to come in sideways.
The Emirates 777 tried to land in Birmingham but whipping winds nearly pushed the plane into a right-angle approach.
After two botched attempts, it was diverted to Gatwick Airport in London where it landed safely.

So, I hope you guys don't mind me crashing the party but my DH and I are Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) carriers and I'm pregnant with my second. We have the same 1/4 odds that CF has so I thought I'd ask this question here since the group is pretty active.
It took a year to get pregnant and I'm so excited to just BE pregnant again! If it weren't for the genetic issue, we would have already told our families. So, I can't decide if we should tell now, wait until right before the CVS or wait until we have the results? What did others do? I just worry that my elderly parents will have sleepless nights worrying about whether the baby will have SMA. We will terminate if the baby has it which I know my parents fully support so that's not the issue. I just hate worrying them but we are super close and it's so hard to not share this news. They live far away though I'm supposed to go for a visit about a week before the cvs. If you told your families, how did they do with the waiting period? We likely won't have results back until 13-15 weeks.

Distance Swimmers to Brave Shark Infested Waters ... for Charity!
This Saturday, six Bay Area athletes will attempt something that many (most?) people would consider totally insane: swimming from the Farallon Islands to the Golden Gate Bridge – a 30 mile distance through frigid, great white shark infested waters (fun fact: this region of the California coast is called the "Red Triangle" on account of its famed inhabitants. You know, because red is the color of blood.) They would be the first relay team ever to accomplish the feat.
EAT IT: Walnut Liqueur, Roast Pork and Sausage
Things are looking rosé at Piccino
A Sunday afternoon rosé tasting ought to appeal to a San Franciscan, if only as a reminder of what season we are, in fact, in (answer: summer). And if grenache, syrah, mourvèdre, cinsault, pinot noir, and cabernet franc mean anything to you, then we're guessing the charms of this tasting extend well beyond that happy reminder. Head over to Piccino Café in Dogpatch this Sunday from noon until 5:00 p.m. for pink wine, accompanied by thin crust pizzas, salads and a few special dishes.

Welcome to Bavaria
Bavaria | The Bavarian landscapes from the lower mountain ranges to the Alps promise next to lovely nature also lots of opportunities for recreational activity which includes hiking, cycling or other forms of sport activities. In the south of the free-state particularly Upper Bavaria and the Bavarian Alps with Berchtesgadener Land, Chiemgau and Zugspitz region are impressive. Further in eastern direction towards the border with Baden-Wuerttemberg the Allgäu, Swabia and the Romantic Road await to be discovered.
Also worth seeing and always ideal for day trips are the Bavarian cities. Whether with their churches, museums and many individual sights several smaller and larger towns have a lot to offer. Munich is for example not only a great place to visit during the Oktoberfest but with the Frauenkirche, the Viktualienmarkt and many parks it is regarded as one of the most beautiful cities in Germany. Numerous options such as a visit of the Deutsche Museum (German Museum), a stroll across the Olympic Park or enjoying one of the countless shopping areas guarantee you will never be bored. Further attractive cities in Bavaria include Nuremberg, Augsburg, Passau and Regensburg. In many cities atraveo has an attractive range of holiday apartments which are often a cheaper alternative to a hotel. But a number of smaller towns in Bavaria also have their own unique appeal.

Vancouver-based Riverview Bancorp on Tuesday reported net earnings of $1.6 million, or 7 cents per diluted share, for its fiscal first quarter ended June 30 as it continues to recover from effects of the Great Recession that hit Northwest lenders.
Earnings were similar to the previous quarter and in contrast to a loss of $1.8 million, or 8 cents per share, in the first quarter of 2012.
"Our strategic plan remains on schedule," said Pat Sheaffer, chairman and CEO, in a statement released after markets closed. As the economy has improved, the company, which operates 18 branches of Riverview Community Bank, has continued to improve its credit quality and reduce its level of problem assets, including nonperforming loans and bank-owned real estate.
These so-called classified assets totaled $59.8 million on June 30, compared with $67.6 million on March 31 and $109.6 million on June 30, 2012.
Specifically, nonperforming loans totaled $21.4 million at the end of the quarter, up about $300,000 due to a newly classified nonperforming loan of $4 million on a Portland office building. A $2.5 million sale is pending on part of that property. The total value of bank-owned real estate declined to $13.2 million, the lowest level in more than four years.
"We continue to be aggressive in the pricing of our existing REO properties in an attempt to liquidate these properties more quickly," said Ron Wysaske, president and chief operating officer. "Based on sales activity during the quarter, as well as pending sales activity, the updated pricing strategy appears to be working successfully."
Riverview's shares, which trade on the Nasdaq exchange, closed unchanged at $2.83 Tuesday.

Bon Jovi's plane terrorRock band Bon Jovi narrowly escaped serious injury when a plane they were on skidded off a Canadian runway.
The group were on a Boeing 707 travelling from Buffalo, New York, to Ontario on Saturday (21.01.06).
As the aircraft touched down, it careered off the runway before coming to a halt with its nose stuck in mud at the top of a hill.
The incident was caused by heavy rain which made the surface of the landing strip extremely slippery.
Luckily, all 14 passengers, including the band and members of their tour entourage, escaped unharmed.
An airport employee claimed the band were in "good spirits", despite the terrifying accident.
The worker told Canada's The Hamilton Spectator newspaper: "They were relieved to be on the ground. But they were relaxed. They weren't panicking at all.
"Some of them even walked out with drinks. Typical rock star stuff, I guess."

Whether you're a lover of all things neutral, or like to experiment with your makeup each morning, a smokey eye is a must-have option for every girl. This look can be applied quickly before work, or can be vamped up for evening. So, just as you treasure your LBD, add the smokey eye to your list of staples.
Before applying shadow, use your ring finger to smooth on MAC's Bare Study Paint Pot ($17.50), spreading it over the lid and up to the brow bone. This will act as a primer, and will help the shadow last all day without creasing or fading.
Next, grab a flat brush and apply Urban Decay Eyeshadow in Foxy ($18) all over your lid. This neutral shadow will tame any redness and open up eyes.
With a pencil brush like Sigma's E30 ($9), scoop up NARS Galapagos Shimmer Eyeshadow ($24). Concentrate this in the crease of your eye and then blend the color outwards with a fluffy brush for instant smokiness
To take this look from day to night, use Illamasqua's Precision Ink in Abyss ($27.50) to create a dramatic cat-eye.

Home : Brands : Pevonia Botanica : Pevonia Botanica After Sun :
Of all the environmental stresses placed upon skin, solar radiation is probably the most damaging. The line of Pevonia Botanica After Sun Products is designed to help counteract the effects that ultraviolet (UV) radiation has on skin tissues. Solar rays are surprisingly powerful: They can penetrate medium cloud cover, so they can affect skin even on a lightly overcast day. Sunscreen that isn't sufficiently protective or formulated to provide a broad spectrum protection (covering both UVA and UVB rays, which have different wavelengths) can leave skin vulnerable.
When sunscreen fails to sufficiently protect – or when "just a few minutes" in the sun stretches out a little too long – Pevonia Botanica After Sun Products can help relieve the resulting problems. Overexposure to the sun's radiation goes beyond just a painful sunburn and possibly some peeling: The skin tissues become dehydrated, skin cells (including the supporting collagen and elastin fibers in deeper layers) can be damaged and long-term danger can be caused. The ingredients in Pevonia Botanica After Sun Products are formulated to help counter that damage and danger and restore health and beauty.
To add one or more items to your bag, check the box to the left of each desired
item and then click the "Add to Bag" button at the top or bottom of the page. Items
are listed in SKU number order.
As long as people go outside during the day, exposure to solar radiation is inevitable. Occasionally, the exposure will be just a little too long or a little too intense. When that happens, Pevonia Botanica After Sun Products are formulated to provide soothing and healing care.
A soothing spray of Pevonia Soleil Photo-Aromatic Mist provides fast, soothing, moisturizing relief, with a gentle scent of French rose. A suite of anti-inflammatory and soothing ingredients offer a skin-calming comfort. Aloe barbadensis leaf gel, chamomile flower extract and marigold (Calendula officinalis) flower extract take the sting out of sun-kissed skin even as they begin to provide hydration to the skin cells. A boost of hyaluronic acid, a substance already found naturally in the human body, is included to dramatically increase the hydration of skin. Hyaluronic acid not only actually captures moisture, increasing the efficiency of emollients, but helps the skin to hold onto it and prevent hydration loss. The mist can be used throughout the day, to refresh and boost moisturization.
More serious sun overexposure can be treated with Pevonia After Sun Soothing Gel. The soothing ingredients not only provide relief for sunburn discomfort, but actually decrease the skin's temperature. Roman chamomile (Anthemis nobilis) flower extract soothes and, along with glycol, hydrates the skin tissues. Flower extract of the European white water lily (also called the white lotus, Nymphaea alba) desensitizes the skin to reduce soreness. Green tea extract provides a strong antioxidant benefit, helping to guard against long-term damage to skin tissues.

Hey Al, how about giving up your pension. Elected government service is supposed to be a selfless act, so give up your pension and all of your extra benefits to help lower the debt

I don't know about you but I'm constantly performing math calculations – money math, that is. What that's meant is typically using either an operating system's built-in inadequate calculator or if I'm working on a Windows system, I always use Moffsoft's wonderful Freecalc for years (unlike built-in calculator apps/utilities, it runs a scrollable tape – invaluable).
But still, unless I size my on-screen windows just right or drag the calculator into my second or third display, it's kind of a pain with the calculator disappearing behind my Word or PowerPoint window. Egads, quelle frustration! (sorry about the lapse into French – dredging it up for a summer visit to Montreal).
Purely by accident, I stumbled across the curiously named Canon X Mark I Slim combo Bluetooth mouse AND calculator. This not some $2 flimsy Chinese made disposable mouse. It's a solidly built device that ingeniously blends calculator functions and a mouse in a physically comfortable and elegant device with good hand "feel." The calculator has an LCD display on the top center section of the mouse. A button turns the calculator off (but there's no real reason to since it doesn't interfere with mouse functions and its hard to accidentally press the sturdy calculator keys.
The device has a switch underneath for pairing with Windows or Mac systems. It paired with both my Toshiba Portege Z835 Windows 8 laptop and my MacBook Air running Mountain Lion – within a couple of seconds – and then worked flawlessly. It runs on two AAA batteries and battery life is so far unknown. As a Bluetooth device, that means it doesn't require a dedicated "Nano Receiver" which can easily get lost.
For me, the point is that if I had to remember to bring a physical calculator, I'd always forget to travel with it. But I never forget my mouse. Brilliant in a very down-to-earth way.
The killer feature is the "Send" button. Once you've performed your calculation and the total is displayed, pressing the "Send" button will send the displayed figure to your computer at the cursor point. As a thirty-plus year gadgeteer, I'm not easily impressed, but this is SO useful for what I do, I'm sure I displayed a very silly grin if anyone had been watching me.
And the best part is that I bought it at Amazon for $15 with free Prime 2-day shipping. I'm going to order another one so I have a spare in case I lose it or break it. Oh, and as a nice additional touch, it comes with a drawstring protective bag.
Highly recommended gadget almost anyone would find useful every day!

Oklahoma basketball: Buddy Hield and his healer
NORMAN — Up the south ramp, behind a glass door, in the bowels of Lloyd Noble Center is a yellowing poster inside a frame that hangs from a cinder block wall.
Inked at the top of the poster is the phrase: "How are you feeling today?"
Below the question are drawings and emotions: a sad face, an angry face, a depressed one and an anxious one. There is no face that defines a recent patient that inhabited the training room where the poster hangs.
"We need to add one to it," Oklahoma athletics trainer Alex Brown said this week.
The face would be of Oklahoma freshman guard Buddy Hield and the feeling would be two words: "Fired up."
On Feb. 11, Hield went to do what he so often does after making a basket: guard his man and try to force a turnover. Instead, he stepped awkwardly on the foot of a TCU defender and broke the fifth metatarsal bone in his right foot, an injury which required surgery.
Now, he's fired up. What was supposed to come next was a long four-to-six week road to recovery.
Yet just four days after surgery, Hield was preparing himself for this week, even though it was only a possibility that he'd be back for the NCAA Tournament.
Sitting on the bench for the Sooners' first tournament game in three years, which will be against San Diego State at 8:20 p.m. Friday, wasn't an option for Hield.
"I want to go dancing with the team," Hield said.
So at 9:40 p.m. Friday, thanks to Brown and a fast-healing body, Hield will dance — because what came after the break of his foot was the fight to recover for one big dance. What came next is the story of Hield and his healer.
* * *
It was just hours after surgery, and Hield sat on a red metal chair on the sidelines of OU's practice court with his leg propped on another chair. His bandaged foot hung off the edge.
Brown walked up with a sandwich and a bag of Lay's barbecue potato chips.
Still under some effects of the morphine from surgery, Hield downed the meal and, with his mouth often half-full, cheered on his team. Although his body was kept from the court, nothing could contain his voice.
The next day, Brown and Hield sat on the sidelines of practice again. Hield wore his practice jersey and a boot. His crutches rested next to him as he bounced a basketball and racquetball. He lost his dribble, and the racquetball slowly rolled away, out of Hield's reach.
Hield looked at Brown. Brown looked at Hield. Neither moved and a few seconds passed. Then Hield grabbed his crutch, and fished the racquetball back by hooking it with the part of the crutch he typically used to lean on. The ball came rolling back to Hield. He smiled and started dribbling again.
He progressed to sitting in a hard wood chair and shooting the ball while sitting. Yet, in media interviews, he refused to sit.
"I'm trying to be like y'all," he said just a couple days after surgery. "Y'all are on two feet."
He wanted to stand. He wanted to walk. He refused to see his injury as a setback.
"There are only comebacks," he said.
But Day 1, when he initially broke his foot, seemed like a setback. That night, Hield was many of the faces on the poster in the training room. He was upset, confused, angry.
Then came Day 2. He had his mind set on positivity.
"You learn something from every athlete," Brown said of the injured players he works with. "Buddy teaches everybody how to wake up every day and it be a good day."
Hield smiled. His energy returned. He began to ask people: "How you feel?" and then answered for them "Fired up!"
Hield and his healer spent hours together on the way to doctor's appointments or rehab. They began to share their musical tastes. Hield taught Brown about reggae music, and Brown introduced the boy from the Bahamas to country.
"He can sing that whole 'Merry Go Round' song," Brown said referring to country singer Kacey Musgraves' recent single. "He knows that well because it seemed like every time we were in the car going to Dr. (Brock) Schnebel's office or the orthotic's office or going to do rehab, that song was always on. We were on a merry-go-round for the last three or four weeks."
And Brown quickly learned that Hield fit the motto that Brown has used for a long time: Pain is an opinion.
"Buddy had a low opinion of pain from the very beginning," Brown said. "In fact, his word from pain is ting. He'd always say, 'I have no ting.'"
Hield never asked for a Tylenol, but in the days immediately following surgery, Brown made sure he took some.
Brown and Hield began to work through the "tings" with water therapy and strength conditioning. Through his recovery, Hield became a bit of everything to the team — a manager, a cheerleader, a coach — and they, in return, helped him.
"Buddy was doing whatever he could do to help even when he was on crutches, then when he was in a boot and then once he got into the shoe and couldn't play yet," Brown said. "He was doing whatever he could do to help everybody all that time."
Brown's biggest hurdle with Hield was slowing him down so he wouldn't push himself to recover too quickly, not allowing the break to completely heal.
Schnebel referred to Hield's recovery like one would bake a cake.
"We don't want to take it out of the oven to soon, or it won't be done,' Brown said Schnebel told Hield.
"We had a nice oven," Brown said with a smile, "And it worked perfectly."
From that first media interview, Hield proclaimed he'd be back sooner than the prescribed four to six weeks.
"I'll be back in three," he said.
One week out from his surgery, he told Brown and Schnebel, too.
"I'm going to play in the West Virginia game," Hield said. "God already told me."
"Good," Schnebel told him. "That's where I get my information from, too."
* * *
March 6 was the West Virginia game. It came exactly three weeks exactly after Hield underwent surgery.
With just over 10 minutes remaining in the first half, Oklahoma coach Lon Kruger made a substitution. True to his word, Hield entered the game.
Earlier this week during practice, Hield got entangled in his teammates as he aggressively went after the ball. He ended up hopping out of the pile much like he did after breaking the bone in his foot. He immediately got taped up by Brown, who then delivered the news with a smile to Kruger and the media.
"Don't worry," Brown said. "Buddy sprained the ankle on his other foot."
The injury was nothing serious, and Hield said after practice that he felt fine, but it did slightly scare him when he couldn't put pressure.
On Friday, the freshman will play in his first NCAA Tournament game. His energy and confidence could be the difference Oklahoma needs to start off the Big Dance with a victory — and he promised earlier this week that come tournament time, his shots from beyond the arc would fall.
So it seems all that remains between the healer and Hield is to add one more face to the poster of emotions, right above the words: Fired up.

Ellis and his friend Neckbone (Jacob Lofland) are two reasons "Mud" grabbed me immediately. They are boys who're most at home outdoors, on the river. Their world isn't one of home video, Xboxes and iPads but of dirt bikes (Neckbone built his own) and outboard motorboats. I don't run across boys like this in New York, or for that matter in Southern suburbia these days. But I knew them growing up, and I still encounter their like when I venture down to coastal North Carolina.
One day on an island in the Mississippi, Ellis and Neck (Sheridan and Lofland give note-perfect performances as the teen river rats) come upon a battered cabin cruiser that a flood has left surreally stranded in a tree. It is inhabited by the aptly named Mud (Matthew McConaughey, who's terrific), a gnarly local ne'er-do-well who's now in desperate straits. For the love of Juniper (Reese Witherspoon), the object of his (mostly unrequited) affections since childhood, he killed a Texas lout who beat her up, and now the cops are hunting for him and the Texan's family are aiming to ice him.
Ellis and Neck's decision to help Mud is what sets the plot's gears turning, and they turn expertly and inexorably. But much of what accounts for the film's particular poetry comes from things along the plot's edges, the textures of the human and physical world that Nichols conjures: the mercurial moods of the river in changing light; the lore these characters have imbibed from the land (Mud knows why the Cherokee puts snake skins on the bellies of pregnant women); the look of the rugged riverside buildings, battered mobile homes and low-rent strip malls that comprise their world.
In the narrative's depths, meanwhile, are hints of age-old regional mythologies. Ellis' ardent efforts to reunite Mud with Juniper (whose hands are tattooed with Shakespearean/Keatsian nightingales) may obviously deflect a desire to forestall the collapse of his parents' marriage, but more distantly it also echoes a traditional Southern adhesion to the codes of chivalry and courtly love: Even if the boy can't "save" the fair lady whose chevalier he sets out be, the endeavor initiates him into manhood.
Appropriately, the mythology associated with Ellis (whose name suggests Ulysses, another voyager seeking to reclaim his home) is trumped by one associated with Mud (whose name of course evokes Adam, primordial man), a myth that's always more powerful and profound in the South. For the arc of Mud's story is one of sin and redemption. He has killed (and who knows what else) and, though he imagines otherwise, he cannot achieve an easy salvation by grabbing Juniper and running.
On the contrary, he must undergo trials and opt decisively for self-sacrifice over safety (he twice risks his skin to save Ellis') in order to die (at least apparently) and then, after a kind of de facto baptism/cleansing, be resurrected. (Spoiler alert: Like the New Testament, the film has a happy ending.)
Flannery O'Connor would love this story, I think, as would Faulkner and Mark Twain. Yet Southerners, like other moviegoers, don't tend to massively embrace any film simply because of its high-lit resonances. That's why native Arkansan Nichols made an interesting wager in also embracing the propulsive genre mechanics of another big Southern author, John Grisham, as a way of broadening the film's appeal.
Applaud that wager or not, it has resulted in a very adroit piece of commercial storytelling that is also, in its cultural and emotional heart, quintessentially Southern.

Introducing… Midnight and Moonshine! These two sparkly blue ponies are mates. Midnight sports a black mohawk and a silver star cutie mark. Moonshine, a pony of the Fae, has iridescent wings.
MIDNIGHT is a bit of a rock star. Well, he was in his younger days. Now he mostly reminisces about the vibrations of an electric guitar under his hooves and the roaring whinnies of his fans, while the grandfoals and grandfillies learn to walk on wobbly, knobby knees. His mate, MOONSHINE, allows him his nostalgia, but nudges him into action when it's time to corral the young.
More Midnight on Etsy.
MOONSHINE was, well, a groupie, prancing under the stars to strains of metal and EDM—not together, of course—until the sun began to rise between the mountaintops. Heaven help her if her offspring ever find out.

China's role in Southeast Asia questioned
BEIJING China is finding the once friendly ground of Southeast Asia bumpy going, with anger against Chinese claims to disputed islands, once reliable ally Myanmar flirting with democracy and renewed American attention to the region.
The changing terrain for Beijing was on view this past week at a conclave of East Asian nations in Cambodia. Wen Jiabao, China's lame duck premier who usually exudes a mild, grandfatherly air, got into a sharp exchange over the contested South China Sea islands. The leaders of the Philippines, Singapore and Vietnam reacted furiously when host Cambodia suggested that all sides agreed not to bring outside parties into the dispute - a reference to the U.S.
Meanwhile, Barack Obama, buoyed by the first visit ever by a U.S. president to Myanmar, projected an image of a confident, friendly America, calling for a reduction in tensions and seemingly taking no sides.
Beijing is struggling to find its feet as its own power grows, but the U.S. refuses to cede influence in the region, emboldening other countries not to fall in with the Chinese line.
"The robust U.S. presence and relatively disciplined and quiet diplomacy looked strong relative to China's heavy-handed pressure," Ernest Bower, chair for Southeast Asian studies at the Council for Strategic and International Studies in Washington, D.C., wrote in a Thursday commentary.
It's a reversal over the treatment Beijing enjoyed much of the past decade as it wooed Southeast Asia with soaring trade and investment and the lure of the huge Chinese market. Looking to further those links, Wen held discussions on expanding a free trade agreement to increase China's imports from Southeast Asia.
China's economic "pull remains, but the smile has faded," said Aaron Friedberg, professor of politics and international affairs at Princeton University.
Getting Southeast Asian diplomacy right matters to Beijing. It's an area where China historically exercised great sway. The 10 countries of the Association of Southeast Asian nations, or ASEAN, are home to a market of 600 million people and straddle vital shipping lanes and seas rich in fish, oil, gas and other minerals.
Beijing's influence began foundering in 2010 when its more assertive claims to islands in the South China Sea touched off anxieties among the Philippines and Vietnam, who along with Brunei, Malaysia and Taiwan also claim the islands in whole or in part.
The fracas provided an opening for the U.S., which as it wound down involvement in Iraq was re-examining the challenge posed by China. The U.S. "pivot" brought renewed diplomatic attention to the region and promises of more military resources.
Still, the friction has only increased. Beijing has become more aggressive in patrolling around the disputed islands, leading to a faceoff last summer with the Philippines over Scarborough Shoal. It is sparring farther afield over other islands with Japan, heightening worries about an expansionist China. It also started issuing new passports featuring a map that shows the entire South China Sea as Chinese territory.
The tensions bubbled to the fore at an annual summit of Southeast Asian leaders in Cambodia's capital of Phnom Penh attended by Obama.
Philippine President Benigno Aquino raised the Scarborough Shoal, prompting Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao to state that the islets have been "Chinese territory since ancient times and no sovereignty dispute exists." China's actions to assert its sovereignty were wholly "appropriate and necessary," Wen told the closed door meeting, according to Vice Foreign Minister Fu Ying.
Wen's stern statement was "destructive and dangerous," wrote CSIS's Bower. "This is very uncertain ground, and uncertainty means the emergency of an inherent instability in the region that undermines a solid foundation for regional growth."

Just got back from a trip to Radio Shack to use my FCC-provided $40-off coupons on two DTV converters. I forgot my lock, and so rolled the bike into a corner of the store. The RS "Manager" told me to take the bike outside. I told him I would take my business elsewhere then, and rolled on.
RatShack seams to be a place where one ends up after exhausting all other source possibilities, and now I think I know why. They're the Denny's of electronics.

If your first experience of Bingo left you with a similar first impression of the game as it did my parents – it's quite easy to see why it became a blanked-out memory for a generation.
Apparently, in the 1960's and 70's, amidst the back drop of bobbing waves of permed-hair, intermittent wafts of dodgy perfume and fog-like cigarette smoke, Bingo-halls used to be places where mothers and grandmas forgot they had kids or grandkids, so eager where they to play the craze that had hooked a nation.
Thankfully, for many different generations of people, the love of bingo is on the increase again and people of all ages now enjoy playing the game online, either on their own or by getting friends round and making it a great night-in.
Before I even realised one can play the online version, I confess I first got the bug whilst on holiday in Ibiza playing pound Bingo as part of the evening's family-entertainment. It took me a week to get a winning card but, once I'd got it, I couldn't wait to play again. I was so hooked that when I got home I decided to look at some of the history of the game.
The general consensus is that the game originated in Italy in the early 16th century and went by the name "Lo Giuco del Lotto D'Italia". The French then took it up under the guise of "Le Lotto" in the late 18th century, before the the Germans decided to use it as an educational tool in the 19th century.
"Beano" was the name the game had when it landed in North America in 1929, but this changed when Edwin S. Lowe overheard someone mistakenly shout 'Bingo'. Lowe decided to increase the amount of possible combinations a Beano card had to 6000, which he did by enlisting the services of a Columbia University Maths Professor called Carl Leffler, revamping a game that from then on has been known as – Bingo.
Eric Morley, better known for his role in organising and developing the "Miss World Competition", introduced Bingo to Britain in the 1960's when it became popular in members clubs around the country. Nowadays, the game is played in a variety of places up and down the country every week, whether it's in your local pub or club using a roll of paper bingo-cards and marker pens, or the stand-up version at a variety of fund-raising events such as Sportsman's dinners.
Aside from that, there are also seaside amusement arcades where the clickety-clack of little plastic shutters can still be heard as holiday-makers mark off their numbers in the hope of winning a teddy bear or something similar. However, the biggest innovation today is online Bingo, and loads of people are joining in the rapidly growing phenomenon that offers so much more than just playing one of Britain's all-time favourite games.
The backdrop of bobbing waves of permed-hair, intermittent wafts of dodgy perfume and fog-like cigarette smoke may have been replaced by a growing community of people aged 18 and upwards, and chat-rooms where you can talk to like-minded people, but you can still play with friends and family, and you can still shout out quack-quack at number 22 (two little ducks) or whistle at 59 (5 & 9, the Brighton Line), just now you can do it all from the comfort of wherever you feel like.

Latest News Philippines: Iya, Drew getting married in Paris? – Journal.com.ph:
IYA Villania and Drew Arellano left together for France early this week. The rumor is they're going to tie the knot while they're in the City of Lights. But just as they're about to leave, they both denied this.
"Drew is competing in a marathon in Paris at sasamahan ko lang siya," said Iya.
"She'll be my yaya while I'm competing," Drew said. "Matagal ko nang gustong magbakasyon kami together sa Europe and now, we also have a legitimate reason to do it as I'd compete nga sa 42 kilometer race. If ever we'd walk down the aisle, di dito na lang sa Manila as all our family and friends are here to celebrate it with us."
They've been going steady for eight years now. "And it's getting better every year," Drew added. "There's no rush to settle down. It can wait."
Drew continues to be a co-host of "Unang Hirit" on GMA-7. He also hosts the Sunday trivia show, "Aha," and the travelogue "Weekend Getaway" on GMA News Channel 11. He's been joining marathons for five years now and has also participated in 20 triathlon races like Ironman and Death March.
CONGRATS to John Lapus for the big success at the tills of "Moron 5 and the Crying Lady," for which Viva Films hosted a victory party. It's really his movie as he played multiple characters in it and he pulled it off all successfully, especially when he spoofed even cartoon characters. Who knows? He might win another best comedy actor award for his performance, just like when he won two years ago for his riotous performance in "Here Comes the Bride."
He should really thank Director Wenn Deramas for giving him a wacky vehicle like this movie and also his five co-stars (Marvin Agustin, Billy Crawford, Luis Manzano, Martin Escudero and DJ Durano) who supported him well all throughout the movie where the five morons are reminiscent of Jim Carrey's "Dumb and Dumber." Viewers are laughing out loud all throughout the movie and that can only mean audiences today just want to laugh and be entertained, never mind if the jokes are slapstick, corny and even recycled. As usual, there's a scene where the guys put on women's clothes, a staple in comedies like this. Billy Crawford turned out to be the prettiest among them in drag. Giving good support are Kuya Germs and Arlene Muhlach as Billy's parents, Dennis Padilla as Martin's dad, and Billy and Luis' girlfriends, Nikki Gil and Jennylyn Mercado, who appear in guest roles.
ENRIQUE Gil is glad that he was among the cast members of "The Princess and I" who shot on location in the Kingdom of Bhutan. "It's a great experience for me," he says. "Sobrang ganda ng place, surrounded by mountains."
Enrique just turned 20 on March 30. Born in Cebu City to Enrique Gil Sr. (deceased) and Bambi Bacay, he is the second of three kids. He has an older brother, Enrique Javier, and a younger sister, Frances.
He took up workshops at Trumpets, which is why he's now managed by its owners Carlo Orosa and Audie Gemora. He became a part of Star Magic Batch 16 in 2008 when he was 16. He was introduced in "Pieta" and the sitcom "George and Cecil." In "ASAP," he became a part of the Gigger Boys. His biggest break was in "Mula sa Puso."
After he appeared in "Mara Clara," he was cast with its leads, Kathryn Bernardo and Julia Montes, in the movie "Way Back Home." He then supported Gerald Anderson in "Budoy." Now, he's back to lead roles and paired with Kathryn in "The Princess and I" that starts airing on Monday.
AFTER winning several best picture awards locally, "Ang Babae sa Septic Tank" is now one of the 12 films competing in the 5th edition of the Off Plus Camera main dramatic competition section of the Krakow International Film Awards next month in Poland (home of the late Pope John Paul II), where only the debut or second film of a director can compete. "Septic Tank" is the directorial debut of Marlon Rivera, so it's eligible. The winner will get a cash prize of US$100,000.
"Septic Tank," produced by Atty. Joji Alonso's Quantum Films, is the only Asian entry and it's reviewed as: "An amazing film experiment that takes the viewer on a journey into urban slums, where a single mother decides to sacrifice a child's life in order to save her own family. And when it seems that Rivera's film will be a long and lyrical story, the director surprises with some unexpected twists and energy emanating from the screen, which forces you to consider the nature of cinema and its relations with the audience."
The other entries are:"Avalon" – a debut feature film of a Swedish director Axel Petersen. "She Monkeys" – also from Sweden, directorial debut of Lisa Aschan. "Bellflower" – the debut of an American director, Evan Glodell, about myths on masculinity. "Electrick Children" – about growing up, by another American, Rebecca Thomas. "An Oversimplification of Her Beauty" by Terence Nance, also an American.
From Albania, the vicious circle of violence in Albanian history is portrayed by Joshua Marston in "The Forgiveness of Blood." "Sulla Strada Di Casa" – the directorial debut of Italian Emiliano Corapi about a young businessman who becomes victim to recession. The Danish movie "Teddy Bear" by Mads Matthiesen is about a 38-year-old bodybuilder, still living with an overprotective mother. "Tomboy" by Céline Sciamma is about a 10-year old lesbian. "Without" directed by Mark Jackson is about a teenage nanny. From Poland, "Courage" by Greg Zielinski is the story of two brothers, Alfred and Jerzy, who have a company providing Internet services.
Here's wishing "Septic Tank" would win and take home the big cash prize.
IF 'Mirror, Mirror' was made during her heydays as America's Sweetheart, Julia Roberts would have played Snow White in this reinvention of the favorite Grimm fairy tale. But since she's now a mom and her recent films like "Larry Crowne," "Duplicity" and "Eat Pray Love" didn't do so well at the tills, she now plays the role of the evil queen named Clementianna.
But the most riveting characters in "Mirror Mirror" (which was released ahead in Manila and just opened in the U.S.) are actually the seven dwarfs, played by midgets, just like in the local version made by LVN Pictures in the 50s, "Si Marita at ang Pitong Duwende", where "unanos" played the role of the dwarfs with Marita Zobel, still a teenager then and now playing grandma roles. Instead of being miners just like in the Disney cartoon version where they sing "Hi Ho, Hi Ho, from home to work we go", they now play bandits in the forest who pretend to be giants by standing on stilts.
In the updated story, Snow White (played by Lily Collins, the daughter of singer Phil Collins) has been a prisoner in her own kingdom since her widowed dad, the king, married the evil queen (Julia) then suddenly went missing. The handsome Prince Alcott (Armie Hammer, "The Social Network," "J. Edgar") sees Snow White and falls in love with her. But the evil queen wants him for herself as she has gone bankrupt and wants his riches for herself. She tells him Snow White is dead and makes him drink a potion for him to fall for her instead.
Envious of Snow White's beauty and goodness, the queen then orders her henchman, Brighton (Nathan Lane), to kill her but Brighton lets Snow White escape instead. In the dark forest, she meets the seven dwarf thieves and becomes their leader in her efforts to get back her kingdom.
The movie will appeal mainly to kid viewers, as a fantasy-adventure with great visuals, fabulous costumes, stunning sets and thrilling swordfights.
Lily Collins is adequate as the princess turned warrior, but she doesn't really make much of an impression. Julia fares better, mixing the right tone of campiness and menace in her interpretation of the evil queen role.
Armie Hammer is ideal in the prince charming role who becomes the damsel in distress needing rescue after Julia puts a spell on him and he starts acting like a puppy. The midget actors all do a fine comic job as the thieving dwarfs.
Kid viewers will surely enjoy this version of Snow White. The movie's director is Tarsem Singh, who made "Mirror Mirror" with a surer sense of style compared to his last movie, the very boring "The Immortals." And since he's of Indian ancestry, he ends the movie with a sprightly musical Bollywood number.
Later this year, there will be a darker version of "Snow White" starring Kirsten Stewart of the "Twilight" series and with another Oscar-winning actress as the evil queen, Charlize Theron. Let's see which one will be a better reimagining of the endearing fairy tale.

GENEVA, SWITZERLAND: Tennis record books were re-written on Saturday after the doubles match involving Switzerland and the Czech Republic lasted more than seven hours.
It was the defending champions who emerged victorious 64 57 64 6(3)7 2422 with the Czech pair Tomas Berdych and Lukas Rosol finally getting the better of Stanislas Wawrinka and Marco Chiudinelli after an energy-sapping, nerve-jangling, thrill-filled seven hours and one minute.
At the end of it all, the Czechs find themselves 2-1 ahead, with the reverse singles to come on Sunday. That's if the players have any gas left in the tank.
The Palexpo crowd were made to stay late, but they witnessed a slice of tennis history, as four players gave it their all in the second longest match of all time (behind Isner and Mahut's Wimbledon marathon).
Switzerland withstood enormous pressure in the fifth set, and somehow staved off 12 match points, but match point number 13 proved one too many, and when Chiudinelli cruelly double-faulted, a new tale in tennis folklore had been created.
Berdych said: "I have never played tennis that long. I like it because I now have a new experience but we still need one more point, so let's go again Sunday."
As expected, Czech captain Jaroslav Navratil opted to switch his doubles pairing, preferring the more experienced Berdych and Rosol, over Jiri Vesely and Ivo Minar.
A much more even contest was therefore expected, and that is exactly what we got.
Berdych and Rosol took the first set 64, after breaking in game nine. That break came courtesy of a well-disguised backhand down the line from Berdych, which left the Swiss pair wrong-footed.
Wawrinka and Chiudinelli did have break-back points in game 10 but wasted the opportunity as the visitors edged in front.
Switzerland started the second set strongly, and broke as early as game two. The break met with a huge roar from Wawrinka and the Geneva crowd.
The crowd were soon silenced with the Czech Republic breaking straight back. Rosol's great invention brought up break point, before a service return from Berdych – down at the feet of Wawrinka – was simply too good. A frustrated Wawrinka bounced his racket off the court en route to his chair.
Another opportunity presented itself in game eight, with two break points on the Berdych serve. Berdych responded. Danger averted.
With an edgy-looking Rosol serving in game 10, Switzerland watched a set point go begging, but they finally got the breakthrough they deserved when Wawrinka wrapped his right wrist over a backhand cross-court to break the Berdych serve and seal the second set 75.
Chiudinelli was clearly pleased, dropping to one knee and pumping his fist in delight.
Break point opportunities presented themselves once again in set three. Berdych saved three on his serve. Wawrinka was unable to follow suit, and that was enough for the Czech pair to move 2-1 ahead.
Tense and tight throughout, you could close your eyes and sense the pattern of play purely from the reaction of the emotional crowd inside the Palexpo Arena.
Switzerland sneaked the fourth set via the tie-break, though they had an earlier chance in game 10, and the draining duel was going the distance – and boy, did it go the distance.
A deciding fifth set was required, and after more than seven hours of pulsating drama, so too was a lie down in a darkened room.
