Mal's Song Music Video
In case you missed it a couple of weeks ago, Michelle Dockrey and her filk trio "Escape Key" created an amazing tribute song to Firefly called "Mal's Song". I loved the song so much I created a music video for it. With her permission I can now make it available. Since the video is very large (48MB), I decided to give my server a break this time and put it up via bittorrent. If you don't know how to download bittorrent files, here's a tutorial. The video requires QuickTime 7 or newer (just like the original Serenity trailer). Download: Full length Mal's Song Torrent. (please seed it for a while after downloading) Download: Small low res sample of the first minute.
Firefly on SciFi Channel Tomorrow!

[Our Comic-Con report still coming shortly - including a review of the final cut of Serenity (it's not 100% glowing - okay 99% glowing, hey I'm a fanboy...)]

Comic-Con report coming soon
We are back from Comic-Con, and attempting to recover. The fan table was a huge success and raised thousands of dollars for the charity. We were also able to get some great footage and interviews for our documentary. Thanks to all that helped make it such a sucess. Full report coming soon.

Leaving for Comic-Con
Due to my preprations for Comic-Con, I'm way behind on updates, here are a few items I missed over the last week or so:
If you are attending Comic-Con, please visit us and the SF Browncoats at tables A11-A12. We have lots of freebies from Universal: buttons, mini-posters, Serenity brochures, and a CD sampler with music from Serenity. Yes you heard that right. Joss has selected some music samples of music from the film, and we will be giving them away at the table. These CDs will be arriving at our table sometime on Friday, trust me these won't last, so check back often.
As I've mentioned before, we are also raising money for one of Joss's favorite charities "Equality Now". Each $5 charitable donation will give you one entry into a drawing for some shiny thank-you prizes, like Inara's Red dress, Kaylee's Parasol, an iPod Shuffle, Signed scripts and much more. Check out the full prize list.
We will also be selling some DVDs to cover our hard costs for the booth, we will be offering 3 DVDs full of footage from previous conventions featuring our big damn heros.
Firefly Documentary now filming
Myself and several other Browncoats have started filming a documentary on the Firefly story from the fans perspective. It will be titled "Done the Impossible" and is a professional quality production shot in HDTV. The documentary will be available for purchase on DVD later this year. If you have a story about how Firefly has influenced your life, please , we are actively seeking interviews. If you were lucky enough to be an extra or crew on the show or film we also want to hear from you. Your best chance to catch us will be at Comic-Con or Dragon*Con, but we will also make ourselves available throughout August.
Starlog interviews Gina Torres
Starlog magazine's August issue features a great interview with Gina Torres, check it out on newstands now.
Serenity Comic Issue #1 delayed
Serenity comic issue #1 was supposed to ship last week, but won't be available until later this week.
Non-Sport Update offering special variant Serenity cover issue
Sorry I missed this earlier, Non-Sport Update has been offering a special variant Serenity Cover issue with a very limited edition foil Serenity card. It will be available at the Inkworks booth at Comic-Con, but if you can't make it the magazine is available directly in limited quantities.

Prepping for Comic-Con
As many of you know, the creators of SerenityMovie.net (this site - in case you are asleep at the keyboard), are co-charing the fan tables at Comic-Con and we'll do our best to bring you all the latest Serenity news from the con. But in the mean time while we prepare, news updates are going to be slow.

Joss talks about Summer Glau, X-3 and Serenity II,III
From the official site:
Here's an odd little story:
Summer did read for Kitty in X3. I know because she called me and mentioned she was going to and did I know anything about the character (there were no 'sides' to study -- they had to get them when they came in). So the girl I turned into sort of a superhero in my movie was going to read for the character that most influenced ALL my girl-heroes, Kitty Pryde. Karmically funky. Anyhoo, she called me after and said it was very emotional and kind of like when she read for FIREFLY, she just got into a very intense groove. She started telling me about the scene she read and that's when I realized WHY it was kind of like she read for FIREFLY. 'Cause (as you may know) it was a scene I wrote for Astonishing X-Men issue #5. I assume they just didn't have sides ready and used that but this was like a karmic moebius strip, it was just too folded in on itself. In this time of odd, I turned to beer. (No I didn't. Stay in school.)
I don't know what the X-peeps are looking for -- or even if that other girl has really dropped out -- but for my money, Summer would make a wonderful Kitty. (And I don't say that lightly.) As long as it doesn't interfere with SERENITY II: RICARDO MONTALBAN'S STILL PISSED - - or, much more importantly, SERENITY III: SO VERY NUDE.
I have shared my tail. (Lord, that's what I actually typed! I mean "tale"! What will people think of me?) No tail sharing. Oh so lame.
now off to make blinis!
Find some Serenity during the hectic holiday season at the Big Damned Flanvention, the first Firefly/Serenity convention in the US. Leave the cold behind and come visit our Big Damned Heros in Los Angeles on the weekend of December 9-11.

Win Inara's red dress from Firefly!
The costume designer for Firefly Shawna Trpcic has donated Inara's red dress from Firefly to the charity prize drawing for our Firefly / Serenity fan table at Comic-Con! This is the *real* dress, not a reproduction. Isn't this community great!
Serenity has officially been rated PG-13
The official site now shows Serenity as having a PG-13 rating. That's a big relief. Had it received an R rating, it's chances of earning money would have been severely limited. It's actually a bit unusual for a movie to get rated this early, which lends some credibility to the rumor that the movie might be moved up. Interesting. June 24, 2005
U.S. Screening #3 of Serenity a big sucess
Reports from the various screenings across the country are coming in and it sounds like th
e Serenity buzz is growing louder with each one. I attended the Salt Lake screening and it was great to finally meet so many local Browncoats. Where have you guys all been? Please stop by the message board and say hi!!
"The Browncoats Rise Again"
The Weekly Standard has posted a great article about the Browncoat movement (some spoilers).

Happy birthday Joss
Will he show up at one of the prescreenings on his birthday today? If so, send the pictures.
Third U.S. prescreening today!
I managed to snatch up tickets for 20 of my closest friends and family. I look forward to meeting some local Utah Browncoats. And to the Universal execs, thanks for adding us to the list this time (saves me a lot on travel expenses!) Now what are the chances we'll get a BDH in Utah? Okay, okay... stop laughing!
Blatent commerial request
Hey Browncoats, as many of you know my day job is creating promotional DVDs and DVD/DVD-ROM features for the entertainment industry. (Yes, believe it or not, I do this from Utah!). Our company has been given the greenlight to create a Serenity Promotional DVD, but only if we can line up some advertisers to help offset the cost of replicating the discs. For those of you who've seen our company's work, you know it kicks ass. Combine that with our passion for Firefly/Serenity and you know we would make a disc you would all die to have, and to show to your potential Serenity converts. So, if you work for a fairly large company that is interested in advertising to several hundred thousand highly focused fans and their friends and family, please as soon as possible. Thanks - Jeremy

Serenity release being moved up??
This post at Fireflyfans.net has raised some eyebrows.
Quote reportedly from a Universal distributor:
"Oh...you guys probably won't even have to wait until September 30th anymore. Our test markets and advance screenings are off the charts...we had no idea...when you said, 'Big following', I didn't realize how big..." "All of us [Meaning the distribution fold at 'Versal] really wish we'd just gone ahead and premiered it in May. It's working out as well as "Star Wars" and if we'd started in May, it would have run all summer."
"Oh...you guys probably won't even have to wait until September 30th anymore. Our test markets and advance screenings are off the charts...we had no idea...when you said, 'Big following', I didn't realize how big..."
"All of us [Meaning the distribution fold at 'Versal] really wish we'd just gone ahead and premiered it in May. It's working out as well as "Star Wars" and if we'd started in May, it would have run all summer."
To which I say "Duh...!" Actually I'm not sure how I feel about this. I'm inclined to say that at this point we should keep the planned date. That way Sci-Fi has enough time to air a few episodes of Firefly and we the fans can continue our guerilla marketing through the summer cons. But, then again, if they think releasing it earlier will increase it's numbers... well, they're the number crunchers. He ended the conversation with:
"I'd go ahead and look for a nationwide release to be earlier than September 30th."

Prescreening #3 sells out in minutes
As expected, tickets for prescreening number 3 sold out in all 35 cities in minutes. I can personally testify to the fact that Salt Lake City sold out in 3-5 minutes! I managed to get just enough tickets for my friends and family. Who knew there were so many local Browncoats?? If you are from the area, stop by the message board and say "hi". We are trying to organize a little meet and greet before the movie.

SFGate talks about Firefly cancelation
SFGate has written an interesting article about our little (or maybe not so little) community of Browncoats.
'The Inside' starts tonight!
The pilot episode of Adam Baldwin and Tim Minear's new TV show "The Inside" premiere's on Fox tonight. Reviews have been mixed leaning toward positive. The selfish part of me wants the show to fail just so we can guarentee Adam and Tim's involvement in Serenity 2 & 3 and the return of the TV show. But those are far enough in the future, that for now I hope the show does well. So tune in and help fund Adam and Tim's paychecks in the mean time. ;)

Serenity preview screening #3
Rumor has it, Universal is going to be doing a third preview screening on June 23. If you haven't been lucky enough to get into an earlier screening, I highly recommend you keep an ear to the ground, because tickets will go VERY fast. In fact apparently Fandango inadvertently posted the link for the L.A. showing earlier today, and it's already sold out! The official site www.cantstopthesignal.com will eventually post the links to buy tickets, but if the last two viewings are any indication, most of the venues will be sold out by that time, so my best recommendation is to watch the various message boards for links (also www.serenitymovie.com, www.fireflyfans.net, and the OB.)
Coming soon: Firefly / Serenity podcast
"Companion Kate", myself and several others have decided to produce a Firefly / Serenity podcast. We need writers, producers etc... If you can help, please pop over to the message board and let us know your skills. (If you don't know what a podcast is... too bad you are just too old. Just kidding! Podcasting is the future of radio, read about it here.)
Screening #2 Follow up
As you all know, last month I sneaked off to Phoenix for my second viewing of the BDM, and I can safely say, it only gets better. I actually enjoyed the film quite a bit more the second time around. I think because I had such a huge preconceived notion of what the movie would be, on my first viewing I spent a lot of mental energy adjusting those expectations. This time around I was able to just absorb the emotions and details. In fact I take back a some of my minor quibbles about the movie. The pacing actually felt much better this time (even though the movie itself didn't change). I really think this movie is going to do well, but only with your help.
Please visit the guerilla marketing section and help spread the word!
Summer Glau in "The 4400"
Looks like Summer is going to be playing another crazy girl in the USA TV show "The 4400". It aired a couple of days ago, but I would guess they will repeat it. I can't give a review, because I haven't had a chance to watch it on my TiVo yet.

Nathan Fillion will be attending Flanvention 2005
It has been confirmed that Nathan Fillion will be attending the December Flanvention Convention. That leaves Gina Torres as the only BDH not attending. So I finally bit the bullet at bought a ticket... Man that's an expensive con.

Browncoats: You have a mission!
Drop whatever you are doing. NOW is the time to convert millions of Star Wars fans into Browncoats. Print out the flyer below and take it to your neighborhood copy center, make as many copies as you can afford, then cut them in half and pass them out to all the Star Wars fans exiting your local theaters. You may want to be discreet, since many malls and theaters have policies against this very thing. But who's going to let a silly Alliance-like rules stop the Browncoats? However, if you are asked to stop, please do, we don't want to upset the theater owners, they are our friends remember. *ahem* 11th Hour, if you are reading this, I hope you don't mind that I updated a couple of your wonderful flyers for this urgent purpose. Let me know if you want me to remove them. Thanks to Shiny over at FireflyFans.net for the idea and the phrase "SITH HAPPENS".

Firefly coming back to TV! – in reruns...
FIREFLY (FOX) - The Sci Fi Channel has landed the repeat rights to all 15 hours of the short-lived FOX series (and basis of the upcoming "Serenity" feature film). The network's July schedule lists the series as joining its Friday lineup on July 22 at 7:00/6:00c where it will precede original episodes of "Stargate SG-1," "Stargate Atlantis" and "Battlestar Galactica."
This is great news, after all the best way to create new converts is to get them to watch the show, and just as the Serenity buzz is starting. Unlike Fox, Sci Fi's Fridays are their highest rated night. Stargate(s) and Battlestar are getting huge ratings, so we couldn't ask for a better slot (except maybe AFTER those shows rather than before.) Expect a new wave of newbies soon!

I'm back, Serenity Review
I'm back from Vegas and I've posted my review of the movie. It was awesome meeting all of you that were there. And, as was rumored, Joss showed up, but unexpectedly he brought Summer with him. What a pleasure it was to watch the BDM with the writer/director and the person who, in my opinion, shined brightest in the movie. Joss gave a nice speech before the show started and they even stayed late and signed autographs for everyone in the theater. Have I mentioned how cool these people are? Summer seemed a bit shocked to see me again so soon after having seen me just a few days earlier in London - hehe! (No, I am NOT obsessed with this show!)
I've also re-opened the spoiler room, but please, if you haven't seen the movie, do yourself a favor and steer clear. And if it's not too late, I would even suggest steering clear of the trailer. Now that I've seen the movie, I think it does actually give too much away
More preview showings May 26th!
Joss just posted the following to the official site:
CRUSHING DISAPPOINTMENT... ...is not in store! Good things are coming... to a theater (possibly) near you! It's Joss, your roving reporter, with another ZOWIE! exclusive(!) hot off the presses! Browncoats Bring Boffo B.O.! Vegas Vibe Very Vivacious! You heard it first here, true believers... Okay, first of all, being that guy is exhausting. So no more roving and on to the meat of the thing. I just saw the whole cast today (which is in itself a wonderful and rare thing) and we all compared notes on the screenings, the general feeling being: damn. As in, Big Damn. You guys were SO sweet. We all thought it was a grand time. More (or at least just as) importantly, the Uni Brass thought it worked out great too, so... wait for it... there's gonna be more. You might have heard rumors, but I'm here to confirm. On thursday the 26th the studio is doing another round of hit-and-run screenings, and this time it's not ten cities -- it's twenty. It's another vote of confidence from the studio and another chance for us to say "thanks" to you guys for keeping this all rolling. And most importantly, another chance to run that videotape of me before the movie, looking so tragically sexy. "Wait a minute! What cities!?!?! Hey, %#$@face, stop talking about how sexy you are (although you are confessedly quite the dish) and give us the info!" Well, I don't actually know. I think we'll be repeating in the cities we've hit and adding 10 new ones. I expect can'tstopthesignal will have the info some time tomorrow, and let the manager-threatening begin! (Or, you know, the ticket buying.) Hopefully one of those cities will be near you, and won't be one where the film breaks and has to start again (heh heh... professional showbusiness... ). I don't know if any of the peeps is gonna be able to come out this time, but if they can they will, and I know Jewel's going somewhere 'cause she was working last time. That's it! Except to add that Summer and I were pretty overwhelmed last Thurs, and I got the impression everyone else was too. Of course everyone else didn't have to put up with Summer's constant whispering of "I SAVED this film, Hackboy!" or her "surefire" system of winning at craps that had me down six large come the dawn... That girl. Just trouble. Enough with this post. You guys are beyond swell. Let the party continue. -j.

In less than 48 hours I will have seen Serenity!!
Tomorrow morning I'm driving down from Provo, Utah to Las Vegas to see the Big Damn Movie!! In a word... Shiny! Rumor has it a VERY special guest may be in attendance.
Jewel talks about Starfury Serenity
Jewel updated her blog and talked all about the Serenity con that she attended.
April 29, 2005
Friday part 2 Blog from Starfury Serenity (scroll down for part 1)
After we left Alan behind to fend for himself. (Stupid, stupid, stupid!) We checked in and posted the message you read earlier and took an expensive cab to the Thistle hotel. We checked in and somebody immediately recognized me as Chris Buchanan... Very complementary, but sadly not true. We spent the next several hours chatting with various Browncoats and eventually ran into fellow American's Reanna and Parson. We went to dinner with them and returned just in time to sneak into the back of the room for the opening session which was supposed to start at 7:30. Strangely enough they started late, hrmm... wonder if they were waiting for a certain lost soul to return from London... Eventually after sitting through some fan trailers, some good some not so much, Clare Kramer came onto the stage and started introducing the guests. Starting with tonight's surprise guest Mark Sheppard "Badger". (Not to belittle Mark, in fact it's nice to see some of the guest stars showing up to these cons, but apparently the originally planned surprise guest was supposed to be Joss, but he couldn't make it because he's busy perfecting Thursday's sneak preview showing of Serenity.) Clare then invited each of the guests on stage one at a time to introduce themselves. If memory serves, it was Chris Buchanan, Mark Sheppard, Ron, Jewel, Morena, Summer, Alan, and Nathan. I have to thank Alan for giving us a shout out as "the two he met on the bus from Utah". Throughout the night I was pleasantly surprised to be recognized as either the person who runs this site or even better, a person who is in the movie. (I hope - guess I'll find out if I made the cut this Thursday.) That was pretty much it for the opening event. Everybody came back onto stage then Clare told us all to start partying. Which we happily did. The VIPs all went upstairs to a cocktail party where the first 180 who registered got to hang out with them. Since I was register number 702, I sadly was not allowed to attend. However, throughout the rest of the night, the VIPs would occasionally cruise on over to the dance floor and we would catch a moment or two with them as they passed through the parking lot. We spoke briefly with Alan again (thanked him for the shout out), Matty (Jewel's hubby), Nathan, Mark, and had a long conversation with Chris Buchanan, who's always more than happy to share his insights into the movie making process. Eventually we made the long walk back to the hotel and nearly got accosted by a crazy drunken homeless man. End of Day 1
Trailer available in High Definition!
For those of us lucky enough to own a fast Macintosh running Tiger (Mac OS X 10.4), you can download and watch the high definition Serenity trailer. For those that aren't cool enough to own a wicked fast Mac (and frankly I can't think of a better reason go run out and buy a Macintosh G5 - I can think of many great reasons to buy a Mac (cool, fast, no viruses), just none better than watching the Serenity trailer in High Definition!), then here's a screen shot. (By the way, my life is now complete. Since my two passions in life are Serenity and High Definition Video and they just magically converged into a perfect moment.)
Early Friday Blog from Starfury Serenity
Spent the last 3 days in London proper and did the tourist thing, visited London Eye, Westminster Cathedral and London Tower. Today my travel buddy and I took the train down from London to Heathrow, we were hoping to meet up with other fans meeting at the local McDonalds. But we ended up running late, which turned out to be a HUGE blessing. We finally made it to Heathrow and hopped onto an empty hotel bus. Of course the bus had to stop at every hotel along the way, never picking up a soul. I kept thinking, wouldn't it be fun if the bus picked up another Firefly fan, then we could all chat. Finally, just before our stop, we stopped at a hotel and there was a passenger ready to load, I looked up to see if it looked like we might be picking up a fan - and thought, wait... he looks familiar... Holy Shit, that's Alan Tudyk!! Yes, 800 fans in the area, and we don't run in to any of them, we run into Alan! As he was boarding the bus, I spoke up and said, "Hi Alan." He looked slightly surprised, which he shouldn't have since I had my Blue Sun shirt on, my Serenity Button and three Blue Sun tattoos on my head. So we proceeded to chat for about 3-4 minutes. He had just checked in and was heading into London - ALONE, yes ladies, he was all alone.. alone and worried he might get lost London, and not make it back in time for the con. He said that Nathan was already there, but neither of their phones worked so they probably wouldn't have a chance to hook up. We talked about the trailer, I informed him that Serenity was topping the buzz lists on Yahoo and the Blogs, and getting better buzz than both Superman and Spiderman. He seemed rather surprised. I said, "I think Serenity is going to be bigger than any of us thought." We continued to chat for a little while, but all too soon our stop arrived and we said goodbye. In hindsight we should have offered to help keep him from getting lost in London by accompanying him - oh well. Nevertheless, what a great start. :)

More early showings of Serenity
More news from Joss!:
Hey guys. Well. It gets better. Unless. And, no, I'm not talking Australia (but Hi, Australia! anyway), I'm talking here in the more-or-less-United States, a one time multi-city Browncoat sneak event. Thursday, May 5th at 10:00 pm, the movie (Serenity! Pay attention! Jeez.) will be playing at exactly 10 theaters in 10 cities across the country. You (or possibly someone much like you) (or possibly a robot EXACTLY like you, but with better manners and sonic arm-lasers, sent to take your place) will be able to buy a ticket to see Serenity months in advance. Not just the bitty trailer with not enough Kaylee and Book, but the whole film, in its extremely almost completed state. Maybe they thought it was a fluke. Maybe they wanna see if people really do care about the flick. Or maybe they're just treating us with respect and kindness, though that last option confuses and terrifies me as much as these changes my body is going through (I'm "perspiring" and becoming "interested in girls", which believe me is very unsettling when you're 40.) Does it matter? The plan works for me, and it can work for a select bunch of y'all. Here's what I know: The cities to be hit are: Seattle Austin Sacramento Boston Altanta Chicago San Francisco Las Vegas Denver The Portland of Oregon If you're in or near one of those, you might wanna stop by. There's supposed to be a "Can't Stop the Signal" page on this website (I don't know where it is -- hey, I remembered my damn password, doesn't that buy me any cred?) There should be more info there soon about how to get in, bringing peeps into the fold, I think there's even competetions and stuff. (All I know is I have exactly 20 Brownie points. I answered ONE triv Q and got it wrong. Forget cred. I have no cred.) Now a couple of us might just creep into one of those major metropolitan multiplexes to see if anyone does show up, so remember: swearing in Chinese ONLY. All right. This will please the fans and satisfy the employers of Joss Whedon, so I must stop as my arm-lasers are getting tired. I politely thank you for your attention. Should be fun. -j.
Oh my $#@%! I so can't miss this. Looks like I'll be driving to vegas one whole day after I get back from London (A job? What's that?)
Serenity Trailer now online
In case you missed it. The spoilery trailer for Serenity was released yesterday, and it's being featured on the main download page at the Apple QuickTime Trailers site...

Official Serenity Trailer this Tuesday!!
Joss made the following announcement on the official Serenity Movie site:
Hey guys. I'm here on the official site, so that can only mean one thing: somebody finally told me my password! (Again.) It probably also means that I have some big-ass announcement or other. Well tops on the announcement list is this: after months of intensive yoga, i can finally touch my toes! (They feel round and bunion-y.) But there's more! I'm talkin' movie news, peeps, so no more drumroll: Trailer. Serenity. Tuesday. Yeah, kids, the haps is hap'nin', and it runs thus: EXCLUSIVELY on Apple movie trailers (and linked through this site as well of course) will be a small, medium, large or FULLSCREEN trailer for Serenity the major motion movie. Yeah, THE trailer. And the following Friday said trailer hits theaters. Which theaters? Until I get confirmation you'll have to guess, but I'm betting you can. Now, here's a word of warning: this trailer ain't shy. If you're looking to live totally spoiler-free, know that there's plenty of key dialogue and images running through this bad boy. It's pretty tasty, though, and it doesn't give everything away. But close scrutiny will definitely learn you much of what's to come. (Anakin TOTALLY goes evil.) It's a nice piece to while away the time till September, and hopefully should intrigue th' peeps that don't have coats of brown. The only thing more exciting than y'all finally seeing this was showing it to Nathan. Like a schoolboy giggled he. Bye-ee! Joss "You can't take my toes from me" Whedon.
Sure hope my hotel in London has broadband! Speaking of which, that reminds me, I'll be in London all next week for Starfury: Serenity. So there won't be any updates. If you are going and you are reading this, I'd love to meet up sometime, so drop me a note. -- Jeremy
April 15, 2005
Dragon•Con Serenity guests announced
Joss (!), Nathan, Ron, Jewel and Morena will be attending Dragon•Con this year. Reserve your hotel now. Like I've said before, Dragon•Con is my favorite con, as it has much more of a party and less of a trade show feel. I'll see you all at the fan table.

Just look at it compared to my fork!! In attendance: K.C., Dan, Jim, Jerry, Tom, John and not pictured, Andrew.
So here's what I ended up with:
So what did I do for excitement on a Saturday evening? Cleaned all the drawers in my kitchen--took everything out, wiped them out and sorted the contents. Cleaned the oven, including the 3 racks (I do not like that job). Cleaned the microwave. Cleaned the sink. Very glad to get it done. Yesterday I got FrontPage loaded on my computer and today, with Pat Ross's help, was able to access the River Runners site and make my first post. :-) One of the things I want to do is add a page for the USATF team circuit races. A good project for next week.
Just a reminder that Runner of the Year nominations are due by January 4. Information is on the RTC website and nominations can be sent to the RTC president. The award, along with many others, is presented at the annual banquet which will be February 6, 2010. More info on the banquet is on the RTC website as well.
I'll close with the back of a T-shirt that was spotted at Brothers' this morning:
"The faster you run, the faster you're done". :-) How true.
Wishing you every happiness during the holidays.

Foster homes are an essential part of our organization. These dedicated volunteers enable us to accept more pets than our small facility would otherwise allow us to accommodate, and are essential to socializing our animals and learning their unique personalities. Commitments vary from 2 weeks to 2 months or more depending on the age of your fosters.
Contrary to popular belief, it isn't only kittens who need to be fostered. There are several more "mature" cats who have been waiting patiently for their forever home and would love a little vacation from the shelter.
Call CatNap at 708-352-3914 to find out if this rewarding program is right for your family.
To join our foster care program complete the following steps:
1. Fill out a Foster Care Application and call the shelter to make an appointment.
2. Meet with the Foster Coordinator at the shelter to discuss your situation
and the ideal foster for you.
3. Take home your foster pet (cat, rabbit, small mammal, or bird) for temporary care or possible adoption.
All foster care expenses are tax deductible in the state of Illinois. Please note that there is a yearly fee of $25 for a foster license through the Illinois Department of Agriculture.

English Regency Inlaid Mahogany Teapoy Antique Side Table c. 1825
(256 views)
Circa 1825
Item # 411JEI15
A finely crafted object, this antique English Regency Teapoy is a complex little table. The rectangular top features a raised central panel framed with beaded molding around an inlaid star of alternating ebony and satinwood inlays, the lower edges of the lid bevelled. It lifts over original brass hinges to reveal a handsomely fitted interior with two rectangular wells on either side flanking circular wells with very crisply carved lids; all aspects of the interior are entirely original. The carcass of the teapoy is crafted with glowing mahogany veneers, the lower edge finished with an enlarged beaded molding, the entire box raised over a tapering column affixed to the underside with a bevelled brace retaining it's original steel screws. The column sinks through the triform base with large tenons, surrounded at the joint with large carved teardrop molding. The entire table rests over neat bun feet. Tea was a valuable commodity and one of importance in a proper English household of the period - as such, it was necessary to control the access to teas in the home and make sure they were rationed according to the budget of the home. Teapoys and tea caddies were a facet of the majority of homes during the 18th and early 19th centuries. The overall composition of this piece is particularly pleasing though, having been finely inlaid and embellished with intricate graduations of beaded molding throughout, the interior being of impeccable craftsmanship and the overall form remaining light and unimposing. It would serve most commonly today as an exceptional side table, though other interesting applications could certainly be imagined. Preserved with almost untouched originality, this is a piece you will certainly cherish in your home for a lifetime.
Condition Report:
Surface is well preserved with a wonderful color throughout; veneer loss to front right corner of the lid with an old age crack in the front bevel of the lid. Loss to beading around base on one side. Minor abrasions and cracking to veneer throughout. Untouched interior, retaining all original lids, hinges, lock and lining - no key. Early but not original finish under shellac and wax. Slightly out of plumb, though barely noticeable. An absolutely gorgeous piece with untouched structure and very well preserved originality.

If you select their service, they will contact you directly for payment and insurance election. This service generally costs $350-600 plus insurance depending on the location and shipment size.
We now offer curbside shipments via common freight carrier to much of Canada! Simply contact us with your delivery address and two phone numbers for a quote. Buyers are responsible for arranging a customs broker and paying all customs/taxes/destination fees where applicable.
Damage is incredibly rare and due to very careful packing and preparation we have been fortunate to see only a small handful of damages. However, we understand the disappointment that can occur in this unlikely event and will work hard to help you through the situation.
Damage for items shipped with USPS, UPS, FedEx or DHL must be reported to us within 24 hours of signature confirmed delivery. We will require the buyer to send us photographs of the packaging and the damage to the item. The buyer will be required to have the item safely packaged again and mailed back to our shop with a pre-paid label. Once we safely receive the item, a refund will be made for the original purchase price plus any shipping via the original payment method.
For pre-quoted common freight carrier shipments, the buyer or representative of the buyer is responsible for being available at time of delivery to fully inspect the packaging and item for damage - under no circumstances should the item be refused, as doing so will void the insurance coverage. In the event of damage, call us immediately and note all damage on the bill of lading while the driver is still present take detailed pictures of the damaged packaging and item, send those images to us and we will assist you in filing the claim and working through the process. Concealed damage must be reported within 24 hours of delivery. In most cases, a representative of the insurance firm will need to inspect the item and packaging so be sure to retain all packing materials. The insurance provider and carrier reserve a "right to repair" a damaged item to industry standard. We do work hard to move claims along as quickly as possible, but please note that claims and/or repairs will be settled with the insurance company and carrier prior to any payout to the buyer.
For shipments with Plycon or any other carrier the buyer selects and pays directly, the terms of that carrier's insurance coverage will apply to the shipment and the buyer will be responsible for working through the claim process with the carrier. We are happy to provide paperwork or any other required documentation to assist in the claim process.

High Density Lipoproteins
High density lipoproteins are lipoproteins that can carry cholesterol from the arteries to the liver for excretion. (Lipoproteins are the form in which fatty substances (lipids) are carried in the blood.) High density lipoproteins (HDLs) cholesterol is therefore the 'good' cholestrol.Join our online group on high-density lipoproteins to ask your questions to the experts and learn more.
High Cholesterol / Hypercholesterolemia
The cholesterol in a person's blood originates from two major sources, dietary intake and liver production. Often named the 'enigma' chemical, cholesterol can work to our benefit or awaken the worst health nightmares. Learn more about good and bad cholesterol, clogging of arteries and healthy diets through this support group.
Hypertension / High Blood Pressure
Hypertension also referred to as high blood pressure, HTN or HPN, is a medical condition in which the blood pressure is chronically elevated.
Leucopenia is a decrease in the number of white blood cells (leukocytes) circulating in the blood. Leucopenia can put you at increased risk of infections and diseases. It usually happens due to infections, anemia, leukemia, or as a side effect of chemotherapy and some other medicines.Find information and support for leucopenia by joining our online support group.
Certain genetic conditions can raise the risk for leukemia, one of those conditions being Down's syndrome. For more such details on leukemia, or cancer of the white blood cells, our support group is the place you need to be.
Mitral Valve Regurgitation and Mitral Valve Replacement
Mitral valve regurgitation happens when the mitral valve, which controls blood flow between the left atrium and the left ventricle within the heart, does not close properly. This allows blood to flow back within the heart, and the heart is not able to pump blood to the body as efficiently. The defect is corrected with an open heart surgery to replace the damaged mitral valve with a tissue or mechanical valve.Join our online group on mitral valve regurgitation and mitral valve replacement to ask your questions to experts, share your experiences, and learn more.
Mitral Valve Stenosis And Mitral Valve Replacement
Mitral valve stenosis happens when the mitral valve – which regulates blood flow between the upper and lower chambers in the left side of the heart – is narrowed. Mitral valve stenosis can lead eventually to heart failure or heart infections or stroke. Mitral valve replacement, an open heart surgery, is performed when the mitral valve is too damaged to be repaired.Join our online support group for mitral valve stenosis and replacement to meet others who have undergone the procedure and talk to doctors who can help.
The heart, blood and circulatory system move nutrients, gases, and wastes, to and from cells. They help keep the body alive and healthy and fit to fight disease. Many heart diseases and circulatory system diseases can be life threatening, and our support group of doctors and patients will enable you to find the help you need.
Palpitations And Arrhythmias
Heartbeats that can be felt are called palpitations, and most palpitations are caused by an arrhythmia - an interruption in the rhythm of the heart. Palpitations or arrhythmias are usually experienced as the heart skipping a beat followed by an extra-strong heartbeat, or fast and irregular heartbeats.Join our online group on palpitations and arrhythmias to learn more about the condition and ask your questions to experts in the field.
Patent Ductus Arteriosus
Patent ductus arteriosus is a congenital heart defect in which the ductus arteriosus, a blood vessel near the heart which normally closes after birth, remains open (patent). The main symptom for babies is labored breathing and failure to put on weight. If uncorrected, this can lead to heart failure in older children and adults.Learn more about patent ductus arteriosus by joining our online group, of experts, concerned lay people and parents, on this condition.

Ethanol Tumbles Most in More Than Week Against Gasoline on Corn
Mario ParkerEthanol tumbled the most in more than a week against gasoline on speculation that favorable weather has helped farmers sow corn crops, reducing production costs to make the biofuel.
The spread, or price difference, increased 3.39 cents to 23.5 cents a gallon, the widest since May 15, on expectations farmers boosted planting from the 71 percent as of May 19 because of drier weather. They plan to sow the biggest crop since 1936, the Agriculture Department forecasts. One bushel of the grain makes at least 2.75 gallons of ethanol.
"If we get a big crop, that will certainly impact things," said Will Babler, a broker at Atten Babler Risk Management LLC in Galena, Illinois. "It shows there's good demand out there."
Denatured ethanol for June delivery fell 2.3 cents, or 0.9 percent, to $2.604 a gallon on the Chicago Board of Trade. Futures have gained 26 percent in the past year.
Gasoline for June delivery rose 1.09 cents, or 0.4 percent, to $2.839 a gallon on the New York Mercantile Exchange. The contract covers reformulated gasoline, made to be blended with ethanol before delivery to filling stations.
Ethanol production gained 2.1 percent to 875,000 barrels a day last week, up 11 percent from a record low of 770,000 barrels a day in January, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration.
More Corn
Farmers are planting more corn as they seek to rebound from last summer's drought that wilted crops and pushed prices for the grain to a record in August.
Corn for July delivery decreased 4.75 cents, or 0.7 percent, to $6.5725 a bushel in Chicago.
The corn crush spread for July was 8 cents, unchanged from yesterday, compared with minus 35 cents on Dec. 31. The amount doesn't include revenue from the sale of dried distillers' grains, a byproduct of ethanol production, which can be fed to livestock.
Returns have been at or above break-even for the longest stretch since December 2011, data compiled by Bloomberg show.
A 2007 energy law mandates that the U.S. use 13.8 billion gallons of ethanol this year. Compliance is tracked by Renewable Identification Numbers, certificates attached to each gallon of biofuel that are submitted to the government and that can be traded between refiners.
Corn-based ethanol RINs for 2013 were unchanged at 85.5 cents, data compiled by Bloomberg show. Advanced RINs, which cover biodiesel and Brazilian sugarcane-based ethanol, declined 2 cents to 95 cents.
Low Stockpiles
Lower production rates this year have translated into record-low season stockpiles. Inventories last week decreased 1.5 percent to 16.2 million barrels, the lowest since November 2010, the EIA report showed.
Ethanol-blended gasoline made up about 94 percent of the total U.S. gasoline supply, down from 95 percent the previous week and the smallest amount since April 19, EIA data show.
Babler said a late harvest in Brazil, where sugarcane is used to make ethanol, helped to make it less competitive for export to the U.S.
The country hasn't imported any ethanol since April 19, EIA data show, the longest streak since March 2012.
Anhydrous ethanol in Sao Paulo cost $2.53 a gallon last week, data compiled by Bloomberg show.
In cash market trading, ethanol surged 4.5 cents to $2.815 a gallon on the West Coast, data compiled by Bloomberg show. The additive lost 2 cents to $2.72 in New York Harbor, 2 cents to $2.62 in Chicago and 1 cent to $2.74 on the Gulf Coast.
New York Harbor's premium to Chicago was unchanged at 10 cents, while the Gulf Coast's discount to the West Coast swelled 5.5 cents to 7.5 cents, the widest since May 15.

(Canada, 79 min)
Dir: Bruce McDonald; Writ: Daniel MacIvor.
Starring: Tracy Wright, Molly Parker, Don McKellar, Lenore Zann, Sarah Polley, and Callum Keith Rennie.
I saw Trigger at the Premiere screening at TIFF, which was also the Grand Opening of the TIFF Bell Lightbox. Trigger was the perfect movie to open the Bell Lightbox, since it was such an important project to many artists within the Toronto film industry. Moreover, as in many of McDonald's films, Toronto figures prominently, and the cityscape is but one of Trigger's memorable characters. Additionally, the film features several new groups within the city's indie rock scene, which is a nice gesture to the emerging performers in Toronto's cultural community. Trigger also acknowledges the legacy of women in rock – "Save it for Carole Pope," Vic (Tracy Wright) says to the gushing stage hand played by Sarah Polley.
The inclusion of the bands is most appropriate because Trigger is very much a rock n' roll movie. The film stars Molly Parker and the late Tracy Wright as Kat and Vic, the two halves of the rock group Trigger, which disbanded a decade ago. Things fell apart due to Vic's drug abuse and Kat's alcoholism, as well as the inevitable jealousy and rivalry that come from sharing the spotlight. The dissolution of Trigger is rendered in flashback during the opening credits: it's amazing how well McDonald et al involve us in the film without a single word of dialogue.
Cut to the present. Vic is being seated in a posh Toronto restaurant. She's clearly anxious as she waits for the other half of the party to arrive. Kat (Molly Parker) waltzes in forty-five minutes late and the reunion immediately resumes the bitterness that tore them apart. Vic and Kat awkwardly make some small talk and try to forget the past, but they can't. Their friendly dinner date soon becomes an explosive entrée of insults and old bones. Wright and Parker have extremely good chemistry, and the opening act of Trigger is a delight to watch primarily due to their ability to riff of off one another so well. The free-flowing script by Daniel MacIvor also has a remarkable ear for language and an absorbing emotional core. At no point during the fifteen minutes or so of pure conversation does Trigger feel contrived.
After dinner, things cool down a little as Kat and Vic prepare for a benefit concert for women in rock. Kat's on the board for the event and wants Trigger to perform at the show, but Vic's more keen to let the past remain the past. However, as the pair makes their way to the event, Vic realizes how dramatically their addictions and personal demons have altered the course of their lives.
At the concert, Vic continues to resist agreeing to perform, if only to unnerve Kat's ego. However, almost as a requiem for her wasted youth, Vic jumps on stage and Trigger performs their hit song "Standing Alongside Gone" (written by Brendan Canning of Broken Social Scene). Trigger's onstage reunion is an energetic and jubilant reconciliation.
Afterwards, the film takes a dramatic turn. When Vic and Kat leave the benefit, they continue to reflect on the dissolution of their friendship. While the conversation doesn't resume the heated tone, it's still painful; however, this time it's more cathartic. At this point, Vic explains to Kat what finally lead her to extricate herself from her self-destructive lifestyle. With Vic's confession, Wright delivers an impassioned monologue that reaches the depths of her character's despair. It's an extremely moving scene, and Wright takes us through an enormous emotional register that lingers long afterwards
It's hard to discuss Trigger without commenting upon the circumstances of its production. The film was fast-tracked in shooting in order to ensure that Tracy Wright would be able to star. There are significant parallels between Wright and her character, which make the film even more emotional (but at no point sentimental). It's important to note, though, that the final product of Trigger is true to the original script: nothing was changed and the story was told the same as it would be had the film been shot this summer rather than during the winter. The cast/crew report that Trigger was shot over four weekends. (I.e.: only eight days of shooting, which is astonishingly brief.) However, in no way does the final product seem rushed or compromised. Rather, Trigger is one of those rare films that comes together so beautifully and in which every aspect exudes the passion with which it was produced.
***Trigger has its "Canada's Top Ten" Screening in at the Canadian Film Institute in Ottawa on Saturday, Feb 19th at 7:00 pm.

I saw it on that old boat fourm, but can anyone tell me the easy way to turn my boat over for paint. pics would be nice, if you got them. thanks, steve.

I saw it on that old boat fourm, but can anyone tell me the easy way to turn my boat over for paint. pics would be nice, if you got them. thanks, steve.
just a half turn before it breaks.
we did it with 3 people and an engine hoist...
this was for a 18' rogers....
when we did my 19' liberty, it was a bit more tricky because of the turn fin, so we used 2 engine hoists to keep it from sitting on the fin.
This is the method I used,You can also use two engine hoists,front and rear. Also You can use a strap ,around the pump bowl,if the pump is installed.
Damn Brad, you guys made that look easy. I did mine similar to Hal with a engine hoist on the front boweye and a cable hoist on the back up to a beam in the garage. I got where I was flipping it myself by just doing a little rigging with some rope on the front. Still scary though......
Hey Hal, welcome to the board. How's your project coming?......john
You wouldn't be man handling my 900 lb Kachina that easily. That sumbitch was way heavy. As soon as the two guys on the left got it off the balance point to lower it down...........my boat would've finished the flip by itself in a big hurry and somebody probably would've got hurt. Sounds like I'm being critical, but be aware some of these hulls (mine in particular) are real heavy.
Yup, you're probably right. I flipped this thing back and forth a number of times and I had it rigged the same way with 3 people. It wasnt till the last few times that I did it alone. I didnt realize your Kachina was that heavy! That new boat will fly with your motor....
It was a good boat, but unbelievably heavy. I was just out doing some work on the new boat and did some checking around by pushing on different areas. I can flex the gullwing real easy and I couldn't flex any part of the Kachina even the deck. You could literally stand four adults on the deck of that boat and it wouldn't move.
It's funny but all that time I owned it I had no idea it was so heavy and solid. I'm pretty amazed that it ran the speeds that it did.
It was an 800 lb hull from the mold. Then throw in the pump and the rest of the hardware. It's an easy 900 lbs.
All the wood in the boat is 3/4" resin coated plywood sides/gunnels, deck, transom etc. Not to mention a real heavy layup schedule with the glass.
Very anxious for the "big swap", but at the same time forcing myself to take my time.

thanks for all the feedback, I was going to use two engine hoists, but am vary leary of the bow eye and how much waight it can take. Thanks steve.
just a half turn before it breaks.
I used old truck tires and furniture dollies + 3 people. I don't trust the bow eye for a hoist. Rolled it over on the tires (on top of the dollies) from the trailer and rolled it into the garage for grinding and Gel coat. then you can move it around easily on the casters. worked great and I only had to buy 1 pizza, and 3 cases of beer...lol...OK had to buy another pizza and 3 more cases of beer to put it back on the trailer.
As long as the bow eye is tight to the hull it's plenty strong. I used the two engine hoist method five times on the same boat (I'm embarassed to say and please don't ask why I had to flip it five times) and the bow eye never even loosened up.
Keep in mind that was flipping the Kachina and no doubt one of the heavier 18 foot hulls.
The idea of using the hoists was so that once you got the hull to the balance point, you could ease it past and over without endangering anyone. It's more of a failsafe deal than anything else.

yeah, mine's a 19 foot hawiian. I dont know the weight, but it seems to be pretty heavy, heavier then I thought it would be. just lifting it from the side while on the trailer. thanks again steve.
just a half turn before it breaks.

Expect the WSAS 3.0 release in mid December this year. The most significant feature in this release is going to be the fully componentized architecture. This new release is going to be based on WSO2 Carbon, which is the base platform for all future Java products from WSO2. WSO2 Carbon is based on OSGi. All the major features have been bundled into Carbon components which are in fact OSGi bundles. All major middleware vendors, including WSO2, have recognized the power of OSGi and are migrating their products towards an OSGi based architecture.
What is the value & benefit this is going to give the WSAS users & in general the Carbon users? Well, there are several.
Pick & Choose
1. Ability to select only the bare minimum functionality needed. You can simply remove unnecessary functionality
2. Ability to extend the server's functionality. For example, if you have a running WSAS instance, and need some service mediation capabilities enabled or BPEL capabilities, you simply need to drop in the relevant Carbon components into the Carbon plugins directory. You do not need to restart the server.
In short, you can mix & match whatever the functionality you desire.
Improved Availability - Server Restarting Minimized
Let's say you have enabled data services support through the Carbon Data Services component, and that your server is running in a production system. You need to deploy a data service which talks to a MS-SQL Server RDBMS, but have not included the JDBC driver in the WSAS instances classpath. In a traditional deployment, you'd need to drop the JDBC driver jar file into the classpath & restart the server, thereby impacting the availability. With the Carbon based approach, restarting is no longer required. Carbon takes care of wiring in the new MS-SQL Server JDBC driver.
Extend the server's functionality through custom components
The users can write their own components & extend the functionality of a Carbon based server.
What are the benefits this approach gives to the middleware vendor? The greatest benefit is having the ability to go from concept to solution in the minimum possible time period. For example, the BPEL Carbon was developed within 3 weeks! We did not have to rethink how to secure the BPEL processes & provide other enterprise features. These were already available as Carbon components. This benefit is also directly passed on to the Carbon user since they can expect to get new functionality within the shortest possible period.
WSO2 WSAS 3.0 - Coming Soon!
