After the break-up of Creed, three of its members (Mark Tremonti, Scott Phillips and Brian Marshall) returned with their new band Alter Bridge. They are augmented by singer Myles Kennedy, whose awesome vocal ability blends perfectly with the instrumental talents of the rest of the group. Whilst keeping an open mind about music, the four band members undoubtedly play to their strengths, delivering rock songs that are exciting and melodic in equal measure.

When to be concerned
If by the age 3 your child seems to have trouble understanding the simplest directions and suggestions, or if a period of three to six months passes where his communication skills don't progress at all, talk to his doctor. Also consider consulting his pediatrician if others can't understand him most of the time or if he's still dependent on physical gestures to communicate (like pointing to the cookie jar instead of asking for a cookie). For a more detailed discussion of when to worry, see our warning signs of a language delay.
What comes next
The number of words your child can understand and say will continue to grow rapidly. By the time he reaches age 4, he'll understand about 1,200 words, 800 of which he'll use in everyday conversation. By the age of 6, most children have a vocabulary of nearly 13,000 words. In the next few years, he'll begin to comprehend ever more intricate constructions such as complex commands and sentences that link past, present, and future events.

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in '1996 - 2004 SN95 Mustang -General/Talk-' started by jasonh_86, Aug 7, 2006.
Glad to hear that!
Yea they just throw in some random specs and sell the cams, they have no idea what they sound like when installed.
Sounds good jason.. and if it's anything like how my videos turned out, then it sounds 20x better in person.
Yes ma'am! You hit the nail on the head!
I wondered when you were going to compliment my vids
Sounds great mang, just catapulted into my top favorite Stangs on SN now.
Very nice indeed. Sure seems like nowadays people are trying to go hardcore on the N/A route instead of getting blown. Thats been my plan for a while now, but it used to be blower this blower that, now everyone gets excited over something with 100hp less to the wheels just cause it has cams. Im not complaining, as I do prefer a good N/A car myself...they just sound soooo good.
Sounds awesome! I wish I could hear that in person especially with a couple of revs.
I think mine sound better on video...jeeze stg 2s must really be wicked!
my stockers sound just down right nasty
Loapy NPI cams FTW!!!!!!!!
Hey man what did your car run anyways? 12.XX? @ XXX?
troof! NPI Cams > all!
Dammmmm i get to get a vid of mine.
Sounds sweet!!!!
And yes,the stage II's sound amazing in person .
Yes they do! Especially with open headers
You guys might get treated to an open-header video if I get too tired to put my x-pipe back on tonight.. how does THAT sound?
well? produce!
Idunno, upload the vid already!
lol.. i'll upload it in a little bit.. I have 2 open-header vids that i'll post.. Keep your eyes out for another thread soon
Sounds nasty How did you tune the car- with a mail order tune or a dyno tune? Did you degree the cams when you installed them?
Dyno tune at Dynospeed Racing in Memphis.. I would've loved to have taken it to MPH, but it wasn't in my budget
They weren't degreed tho.. Haven't had any problems tho

Will winter work help Rangers' Leonys Martin grab center field job?
The following appeared on our Rangers blog.
After eight at-bats in 2011 and 46 last year, it appears OF Leonys Martin will get the bulk of the center field at-bats for the Rangers this year. Or at least he will get the opportunity. After Josh Hamilton flew the coop for Los Angeles, the Rangers resisted going hard after Michael Bourn because they felt invested (to the tune of $3.2 million this year) and felt they had to find out about his abilities. In his brief time in the majors in the past, he's shown good offensive instincts and above-average speed, but defense has been a challenge. He has the best arm on the team, but it is erratic. And his routes to fly balls were often suspect.
Martin spent six weeks in the Dominican Republic this winter playing for Licey to hone the skills the Rangers expect him to display in order to hold the job.
"I'm grateful for the opportunity and I'm mentally ready for the challenge," Martin said with strength coach Jose Vazquez acting as an interpreter. "I'm hoping things work out. I tried to work on things that should be my strengths [in the Domninican], my bunting, my baserunning and my defense. I think that if I just play my style of baseball – I call it 'small ball' – I'll be fine. I just need the opportunity to play."
Oh, he will get that alright. The rest is up to him.

When media speculated about her "puffy" face, Ashley Judd wrote a piece on media misogyny for the Daily Beast. It turns out that Judd was on steroids to combat a sinus infection and flu – she had not gone under the knife. Judd denounced our patriarchal media system as one that conspires against women by placing "the interests of boys and men over the bodily integrity, autonomy, and dignity of girls and women." According to Judd, this type of hate against women "is subtle, insidious, and never more dangerous than when women passionately deny that they themselves are engaging in it."
Many women are oblivious to the impact that media has on our lives. Marketers spend billions of dollars per year to set a largely unachievable standard of beauty so that they can sell us more products as we strive to achieve the ever-elusive perfect body. This deception creates feelings of inadequacy in women, especially children and young adults who are in the midst of cognitive development.
For women and girls of color the impact is even greater, as racial markers, such as dark skin and kinky hair, are rejected by the influential media. Women with these physical traits are seemingly unworthy of media attention. Indeed, women of color are largely invisible in media, and the darker one is the less likely she is to see people like her on TV. This is true even on Spanish-language television, which is dominated by light-skinned Latinos. Even more revolting is the common marketing practice of digitally lightening the skin color and photo-shopping curves out of advertisements. No wonder young women of color are facing an epidemic of low self-esteem!
When Latinas do appear in media, they are regularly typecast in stereotypical roles. For example, Lupe Ontiveros, the iconic U.S. Latina actress, estimates that she has played a maid between 150 and 300 times on screen. "Minority Women, Media, and Body Image" (PDF), a report out of the University of Florida's Institute of Food and Agriculture Sciences, found that:
"Similar to the effects on African-Americans, the media has perpetuated stereotypes about Latin-Americans, those of which differ from the typical non-Hispanic woman. These images are shown on television, which is heavily consumed by Latin-American women. Latin-American women on average watch four more hours of television daily than women in other ethnic groups. Due to this increase in exposure, Latin-American women are more susceptible to negative images, making comparisons to the media ideal more detrimental. As a result, Latin-Americans have a heavy loyalty to the health and beauty industry. The support that they give to this industry may be associated with the dissatisfaction felt when media ideals are used for comparison."
Media misogyny not only impacts our self-esteem but also how others perceive us. As many people in the U.S. come into contact with Latinas and other people of color exclusively through media, the importance of fair and accurate media coverage is even greater. For some, the media is the only way that they learn about people who are different than themselves, which encourages behaviors and attitudes towards these "others" without ever really knowing any of them.
According to a 2007 Free Press report titled "Out of The Picture: Minority & Female TV Station Ownership in the United States" (PDF), while women comprise 51 percent of the U.S. population, they only own 6 percent of all stations. Racial or ethnic minorities (both men and women) own just 7.7 percent of all full-power commercial broadcast radio stations, though they account for 33 percent of the U.S. population. That lack of representation in ownership and other top-tier positions is one of the main reasons that women and minorities are not represented – or misrepresented – in the media.
So ladies, regardless of our skin color, we have some work to do. Let's get together and disrupt the status quo! Let's hold media accountable! Oftentimes, by unconsciously segregating we lose the power of our collective voice. Let's organize town halls in New York and Los Angeles and invite the top media executives to discuss our issues! Let's find women of influence to back this project – first lady Michelle Obama would be a great start! Let's figure out how we can create our own media – ownership is essential. Women like Oprah and Arianna Huffington understand the necessity of ownership, but we need more women to get into the game. By owning and running our own media, we can create a pipeline of women media executives and decision makers that can set a new standard. At a micro-level, at home and in our schools, let's start talking to young women about the negative effect that media can have on our lives. Like the friend that we know is not good for us, let's stop consuming media that doesn't portray us fairly and accurately! Let's move on this, ladies, to create a healthier body image and fairer treatment for all the women of tomorrow!
Inez González is Executive Vice President of the National Hispanic Media Coalition (NHMC), a non-partisan, non-profit media advocacy and civil rights organization dedicated to advancing American Latino employment and programming equity throughout the entertainment industry and to advocating for telecommunications policies that benefit Latinos and other people of color.

Cute Kids Singing Country Songs – Kellie Pickler, 'I Wonder'
Subscribe to Taste of Country on
Three-year-old Saranan left YouTube viewers predicting she'd be an 'American Idol' champion… in 2028. This country cutie throws every ounce of her 30-pound body into a stirring rendition of Kellie Pickler's 'I Wonder.' She might be even angrier than the singer was on the original.
The video has racked up over 225,000 views since being published in 2007. Saranan becomes the first kid to be featured twice in Taste of Country's Cute Kids feature. She was equally as furious singing Carrie Underwood's 'Before He Cheats' one year after this clip was recorded. So much rage inside such a little body. We hope music is her therapy!

Locals Only
The defining line between good and crap rock & roll has more to do with attitude and appearance than it does great hooks and catchy choruses. Almost anyone can write a decent tune, but not everybody possesses the proper swagger to rock in a non-ironic, non-Jack Black kind of way. All-female band Civet know this.
The tattooed Long Beach-based quartet—singer/guitarist Liza Graves, her sister guitarist/singer Suzi Homewrecker, bassist Jacqui Valentine and drummer Danni Jo—don't just dress like rock stars; they live the life. For example, take my first attempt at interviewing Graves. Our call was scheduled for a Saturday, but I had to cancel. I spoke briefly to the 23-year-old singer that day about moving our conversation to Sunday at noon, a time when regular folk are functioning like, well, regular folk. But not Graves. She laughed and told me she gets up at 2 p.m. "I can wake up earlier," Graves says, "but I try not to wake up before that."
As if getting up in the middle of the afternoon isn't rock enough, Graves and her cohorts aren't afraid to speak their minds, especially when it comes to their physical appearance. Civet embrace what their mamas gave them and strive for a complete show, both sonically and visually. The winning combination of attractive women playing legitimate rock music has been dubbed "femme fatale punk rock" by the band. "We coined that phrase because we're about the music and the image," Graves says. "We're good-looking girls who play punk, and we're not afraid to say that."
Some female musicians choose to stay away from the "girl band" categorization by focusing strictly on the music, while others feel a sense of empowerment and community by rocking their double-X chromosomes proudly on their sleeves. Graves believes denying her femininity not only hurts her group, but other girl bands, and says her reasoning comes from the female-centric discs getting heavy rotation on her personal stereo. "I'm really into hard girl rock. You gotta be really tough for me. I like Corey Parks (Nashville Pussy, Die Hunns), Sahara Hotnights, the Distillers, Bikini Kill and the Runaways. I like girls with a little more balls."
Upcoming Events
Civet are in the midst of posting demos of new songs on their MySpace page (www.myspace.com/civet) in order to give fans a peek at what could make it onto their next album, which they begin recording in August. Songs such as "Gin and Tonic" and "Pay Up" find Civet incorporating back-up harmonies to blend with Graves' distinctive raspy howl found on 2005's Massacre, which was recorded with a different rhythm section and released on Duane Peters' Disaster Records. "It's totally time for a new album," Graves says. "We started off really raw as a band. Now we stepped it up to another level."
The as-yet-unrecorded disc could be issued on a large Los Angeles punk label, but until the ink is dry, Graves prefers not to say much about the deal—which is probably the most cautious behavior you'll ever see from this frenetic front woman.

For the Super Bowl, of course. The Steelers are back? The 70s Revival marches on...
New Witch Mountain post coming Monday.

I must admit, I was a big fan of the original.ReplyDelete
Be here Monday, Ed. I guess the Witch Mountain thing is hard for younger people to understand. But it had a major impact on me as a kid. Nowhere near Jason and the Argonauts though, which is still the most influential film of my younger days.ReplyDelete
Here's something that might interest the younger crowd. The girl who played Tia in the original later became Paris Hilton's aunt.ReplyDelete

Christopher-as always thanks so much for the information on your blog! As far as I am concerned no one ever need apologize for being a Neo-Jungian auto-didact:-) I wish so much Jung was around in our time (course maybe he is;-)-one of the books among many I will always kick myself for trading in was Memories,Dreams and Reflections! ps Christopher-I was trying to find a post that I think wise woman at too long in this place might find useful-it was about a music star drowning in the river-Cocteau Twins-Ray Buckey?-I think you did this-I will try to search and refer her over here if I can find it-best to you as always!ReplyDelete
Sure, Devin- just click on the Jeff Buckley tag in the right hand column.ReplyDelete
Thanks so much Christopher-duhh-how could i not see that -this has been a repeating theme in my life not seeing what is right in front of my face-as I was going through your archives I didnt realize you had ever mentioned Siouxsie-cant go wrong with them! best as always!I will def have to check out Scottish Sunday-our musical tastes seem somewhat the same-I found out about Boards of Canada from you-still appreciate that!ReplyDelete
Should I get Jason and The Argonauts for my 7 yr old boy?ReplyDelete
Obsessed recently with a 1970's Dylan song "Changing Of The Guard" which seems to be about an initiation. Contains references to a goddess, with "her ebony face". I don't discern any UFO's amidst the multiple jumps in time and point of view, but it might merit a listen. Of course, also from the "70's was Dylan's song "Isis", which could use your decoding skills.
You should Jason and the Argonauts for everyone! What a brilliant, inspiring film that will fill everyone in the family with wonder and excitement!ReplyDelete

No Boundaries
- Format: DVD
- Rated: R
- Release Date: 2/2/2010
|your cart is empty
Love can conquer all obstacles and cross any border in No Boundaries, a captivating new film from writer director Violet Mendoza and co-director Jake Willing that puts a human face on the timely and volatile issue of illegal immigration in America today. Hoping to earn money for an operation for her ailing mother, Isabel Moreno (ravishing newcomer Dani Garza) leaves South America and enters the United States illegally. Staying with her cousin Martin in Philadelphia, she finds employment and an extended family with Martin's landlords Gloria and Maurice. She also quite unexpectedly falls in love with a handsome American, Christopher (Mark McGraw, brother of Country superstar Tim McGraw and son of Philadelphia Phillies great Tug McGraw), who unbeknownst to Isabel is an immigration officer. How all their lives intersect and touch one another forms the basis for an exceptionally poignant and riveting romantic drama that ultimately affirms that love, indeed, knows no boundaries.

Coca-Cola will broadcast its "holidays are coming" Christmas ad by McCann Madrid on 12 November.
The brand is also re-releasing its "snow globe" ad, set to a new song by pop star Natasha Bedingfield, which will air on 10 December.
Coke bought back its "holidays are coming" ad in 2007, after scores of people called its customer information centre to say it marked the beginning of Christmas.
This year, Coke's Christmas activity will feature a six-week long experiential tour of the Christmas truck, which will visit 100 locations across the UK from this month, supported by outdoor activity.
Coca-Cola has also released limited edition packs of Coca-Cola, Diet Coke and Coke Zero, decorated with illustrations of Father Christmas.
The Coca-Cola sign in Piccadilly Circus, London, has been redesigned to use 20% less energy and is now the largest LED display in the UK. The new sign will feature consumers' "Christmas wishes", which can be sent to the brand through Twitter.
Zoe Howorth, Market Activation Director for Coca-Cola Great Britain, said: "Coca-Cola has a rich history in Christmas advertising, creating campaigns that resonate with consumers across the world during the holiday period.
"We're thrilled to be celebrating 80 years of Sundblom's much-loved personification of Santa, bringing his creations to a modern day audience and spreading happiness and festive cheer this Christmas."
At the end of September Coca-Cola announced its Olympic campaign will feature a track created by Mark Ronson.

The race to become champion steeplechaser of 2012 is about to reach its final fences as Belmont Park hosts the Grade 1, $150,000 Lonesome Glory on Thursday.
The 2 1/2-mile test is the first in a trio of top-level hurdles over the next two months which often determines the division's Eclipse Award recipient. The Lonesome Glory serves as a prelude to the Grade 1 Grand National at Far Hills, New Jersey, on October 20, and the Grade 1 Colonial Cup at Camden, South Carolina, on November 17.
The top three finishers from last month's Grade 1 New York Turf Writers Cup at Saratoga -- Demonstrative, Charminster and Spy in the Sky -- will renew acquaintance in the Lonesome Glory. Demonstrative, whose previous best came in novice stakes, rallied from slightly off the pace to capture the Turf Writers Cup by a length over Charminster, who was making his U.S. debut for noted jumps owner Irv Naylor. Farther back was Spy in the Sky, who had previously captured the Grade 2 A.P. Smithwick Memorial in a photo finish.
Among the familiar faces in the Lonesome Glory lineup are Tax Ruling and Divine Fortune. An Eclipse Award finalist last year after wins in the Colonial Cup and Grade 1 Iroquois, front-running Tax Ruling has gone unplaced in both starts this term. Fourth when trying to win the Iroquois for an unprecedented third straight year, Tax Ruling next retreated to eighth in the Smithwick after running out of gas at the top of the stretch.
Divine Fortune, a two-time winner of the Smithwick, ran second in the Iroquois this past May, but didn't fare quite as well during the Saratoga meet. Fifth in his three-peat attempt in the Smithwick, the nine-year-old wound up falling at the 10th fence in the Turf Writers Cup after taking a brief lead.
Another hoping to rebound from a fall in the Turf Writers Cup is Left Unsaid, that race's 1-2 favorite who had just missed catching Spy in the Sky in the August 2 Smithwick. The ultra-consistent Tom Voss-trainee might vie for favoritism in this spot.
Others of note in Thursday's feature are Grade 1 veteran Pierrot Lunaire; Smithwick third-placer All Together; History Boy, a dominating winner over novice stakes company at Saratoga last out; and the Naylor-owned The Jigsaw Man, seventh in the Turf Writers Cup in his U.S. debut.
Kicking off the Daily Double on Thursday is the $50,000 William Entenmann Memorial, a restricted 2 1/4-mile hurdle.

I've been wanting the asterisk tee for a long time now and I couldn't be happier now that I have it. The shirt is a good fit but I would recommend buying a size larger that what you think might fit because it does shrink like most t-shirts.

Britain Offers Plan to Restrain, Not Jail, Foreign Terror Suspects
By LIZETTE ALVAREZ
Published: January 27, 2005
The British government announced a plan on Wednesday to overhaul its antiterrorism laws, hoping to grant itself broad new powers to monitor and control foreign terrorism suspects without having to detain them indefinitely without charges, a policy that was declared illegal last month by Britain's highest court.
The measures, which must be put forward to Parliament as a bill, would give the home secretary, Charles Clarke, the ability to give suspects curfews, tag them with electronic bracelets, limit their access to telephones and the Internet, restrict their communications with ''named individuals'' and, as a last resort, place them under house arrest.
The new ''control orders'' would apply to foreigners and British citizens, addressing the court's judgment that special treatment for foreign detainees was discriminatory and violated the European Convention on Human Rights. The orders, the government said, could be applied if there are ''reasonable grounds'' for suspecting terrorist activity. Prosecuting a suspect on charges requires a higher threshold.
In announcing the plan to the House of Commons, Mr. Clarke said that the suspects now in detention -- the number is thought to be between 9 and 12 -- would remain in jail until the ''control orders'' were in place, adding that they continued ''to pose a threat to national security.'' Some of the men have been in detention for three years.
''There remains a public emergency threatening the life of the nation,'' Mr. Clarke said. ''The threat is real, and I believe that the steps I am announcing today will enable us more effectively to meet that threat.''
The plan would revise the Anti-Terrorism, Crime and Security Act, passed shortly after the 2001 terrorist attacks in the United States. Reaction was mixed, with some opposition politicians questioning whether the measures might create resentment and stoke terrorism, rather than fight it.
Human rights lawyers said the plan, while better than indefinite detention in jail, still raised considerable concerns, particularly since house arrest is a serious measure and suspects should be presumed innocent until proven guilty.

|This article is about a/an monster in Mighty Morphin Power Rangers.
Character History
Pineoctopus was a pineapple/octopus monster created by Finster who took the form of Pineapple the Clown. His overall appearance is loosely based on that of a fool or a jester. According to Finster, he personally trained the Pineoctopus before releasing him as Pineapple the Clown. He turned Trini's cousin, Sylvia, into cardboard (she was later restored by Trini and Alpha 5). He could also extend his long vines and use them like whips and launch spheres of energy. He was the only monster to be defeated using the Megazord cranial laser.
Interestingly enough, once his facade as Pineapple the Clown disappeared, he displayed very few clown-like personality traits and only made a single clown pun (while most monsters built on a certain "theme" tend to make many puns and metaphors during their encounters with the Rangers). He was however very overconfident in his abilities and once made giant, responded to unfavorable situations with a dismissive "big deal" such as when he was informed that Sylvia was restored or when the Triceratops applied its hooks to bind him.No Clowning Around
Later on, when the Rangers were sent to the Island of Illusion, they were attacked by the illusions of monsters they had already defeated, one of which was the Pineoctopus.Island of Illusion
Powers and Abilities
- Can disguise his monster form as a human clown
- Can turn people into cardboard with special powder
- Can use tentacles as whips
- Pineoctopus is destroyed by the Megazord's laser. But in Zyuranger, he is destroyed by Tyranosaurus's attack.
- This features one of the most thorough battles that involved the individual Dinozords to showcase their abilities. Usually the only individual dinozord attacks we would see (other than laser beams) were the Tyrannosaurus, the Dragonzord, and the Mastodon.
- Pineoctopus is not seen as part of any monster army in "Countdown to Destruction".

Monday, Feb. 20, 2012 | 2 a.m.
When 6-year-old Caleb LeBaron was diagnosed with a rare form of a highly aggressive cancer in December, doctors immediately swung into action.
Caleb's chemotherapy treatment began the day after his diagnosis with Burkitt's lymphoma — which came two weeks after his parents first noticed symptoms. Despite the shocking news that their son was seriously ill, Matthew and Jennica LeBaron were reassured when doctors told them that with proper drugs and treatment, the cancer has an 85 percent remission rate.
But Caleb's recovery was threatened this past week when medical officials around the country sounded the alarm about a potential shortage of preservative-free methotrexate — a generic, injectable chemotherapy drug that is relied on by Caleb and thousands of other children around the country, many who have acute lymphoblastic leukemia, the most common form of childhood cancer.
"It was very scary. It's this pit in your stomach," said Jennica LeBaron. "(We thought) what are we going to do? His life depends on it."
Fortunately, swift action by pharmaceutical companies and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration averted the shortage. But the scare still lingers with the LeBarons.
"(A shortage) hasn't affected us yet, but it's scary, because it still could," Jennica LeBaron said. "We're in this for at least nine months … there's not time to delay treatment because (the cancer) progresses so fast."
The incident also underscores a growing trend of drug shortages around the country.
Two local hospitals, University Medical Center and Sunrise Children's Hospital, said they were unaffected by the methotrexate scare and had adequate supplies on hand to weather any temporary shortages.
But more than 250 different drugs, for both cancer treatment and other uses, will be in short supply at some point in 2012, said Dr. James Hoffman, the medication outcomes and safety officer at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in Tennessee.
"For many years, we've seen some level of shortages, especially in hospitals. But over the last couple of years it's really increased," he said.
Hoffman described the pharmaceutical manufacturing industry as complex and interconnected, where a small problem can ripple outward and have effects throughout the market.
The recent methotrexate shortage was sparked at least in part by the closure of several Ohio-based factories owned by one of the drug's major manufacturers due to drug-quality concerns.
"Many of the products that go on short supply only have maybe one, two or three manufacturers. If you have one manufacturer go down, that's a real problem because there's not a lot of slack in the system to make that up," Hoffman said.
That dip in production led to concerns of a shortage, but action by the FDA and other drug manufacturers has filled the gap for now.
Without quick action, the shortage could have threatened the chances of recovery for thousands of patients, Hoffman said.
"If we are forced because of a drug shortage to deviate from our standardized practices … that puts a new safety risk into the system we didn't have before," he said.
Predicting and preventing future drug shortage is challenging, Hoffman said, but increased communication between drug manufacturers, federal agencies and healthcare providers has been effective and led to the prevention of at least 200 drug shortages in 2011.
A new law mandating drug manufacturers to communicate potential shortages has been brought before Congress several times, Hoffman said, but has failed to pass so far.
"This is a real case where patients can contact Congress," he said. "These bills, while they aren't going to fix everything about drug shortages, are an excellent first step and the FDA has proven they can use this information in a positive way."

Día de los Muertos is a holiday celebrated in Mexico and around the world in many cultures on November 1 & 2. For those of you who aren't familiar with the holiday, it focuses on gatherings of family &friends to pray for & remember friends & family members who have died. Traditions include building private altars honoring the deceased using sugar skulls, marigolds, and the favorite foods & beverages of the departed and visiting graves with these as gifts.
I wanted to share some of my favorite tributes around the blogging world honoring Dia de los Muertos including this fabulous altar created by local artist, Kathleen Escobedo from Esco Studio(who also just happens to be my Mom). For all you locals, she currently has 5 altars showing at the Vision Gallery in Chandler at the Day of the Dead exhibition.
I also love these fabulous cookies from The Sweet Adventures of Sugarbelle. The colors are amazing & all the fantastic details truly make them a work of art.
I am slightly obsessing over this pin art from Kathleen at Twig & Thistle. The simple, intricate beauty of the thread and pins is truly amazing!
What is your favorite?

Ex-Gay Therapist Leads a Dubious Movement
Richard Cohen claims that he used to be gay, and that now that he's done weird sh*t like hug men who act as father figures (you know, just to be "close") and beat on pillows pretending he's striking his mom, it's all good and he doesn't like dudes anymore. Sorry, Richard, but you're an ex-gay the way I am an ex-nachos eater. I could say that, but if I passed by a gleaming plate full of tortilla chips, loaded with salsa, guacamole, and maybe even jalapenos, and "had a taste," you can bet I would feel a
sexual strong connection to them. It's just the way I'm wired, and I'm OK with that.

Owen still has a chance to make 2010 squad - Fergie
Sir Alex Ferguson insists Michael Owen should not abandon all hope of featuring in his fourth World Cup finals next summer.
Although Owen did take up an invite to attend England's victory over Belarus at Wembley on Wednesday, his chances of making Fabio Capello's 23-men squad for South Africa appear remote.
The Manchester United front-man has not featured in the Italian's plans since the friendly defeat to France 18 months ago, with a succession of injuries leaving Capello unable to make any objective judgement on England's fourth highest goalscorer. And, although Ferguson believes Capello knows almost all of the men he wants alongside him in the battle for the world's biggest prize, the United chief insists Owen could still make it.
''There may be two or three places up for grabs,'' observed Ferguson. ''Fabio maybe will have a number up to 25 in his mind. He will then have to eliminate from that to make 23. 'Michael Owen has a good chance because he is a striker and England don't have a tremendous number of them.
''The form of Carlton Cole will have encouraged him and Peter Crouch's goals don't do him any harm. Along with Wayne Rooney I think those three will go to South Africa, then it is a fight for one more.''
The significant flaw in Ferguson's assessment is that Emile Heskey is not mentioned. Given the Aston Villa man is rated so highly by Capello, it is difficult to imagine him not making the trip. However, the point has been made. Now Owen just needs to stay fit, given his last appearance against Wolfsburg was wrecked when he limped off with his latest injury.
''Michael has to play more games,'' said Ferguson. ''Maybe we shouldn't have played him against Wolfsburg. He felt his groin two days before, so we should have left it alone. He did train three days later but we know that part now and we wouldn't do it again.''

I think I used the previous generation of this diaper and they have updated the design. However, if you're going to buy these used or whatnot, you can keep my review in mind!
I bought these used when I was pregnant. They had been used by one baby before mine. The velcro was in great condition. The velcro is quite large on baby's belly. I would say that these diapers would be best for pre-sitting babies only. I could see the velcro being uncomfortable for a baby trying to sit.
Other than that, it's a trim diaper that fits well - but again I think it's best used to an infant who's going to have smaller pees. A pee that soaks all the way through the prefold is likely to leak in this cover.
Overall, I don't think I'd use these again, but I think they work well enough for newborns. And, they probably have updated their design since they made the ones I tried. I may give them a shot again if we have another baby - but I'd buy them new. I like the Super Brite, though.

text: I picked up an old Valloy enlarger a while back. I know it didn't have a neg carrier at the time but it was cheap and I was really only getting it for contact prints anyway. Of course the more I thought about it, the more I thought it was a shame to not be able to enlarge my 35mm negs with it. I tried making several homebrew versions. One was simply two spring clips holding the neg strip in place and letting the condenser flatten the negative against the bottom plate. This worked ok, as long as I only wanted to print negs in the center part of the strip, no end images allowed! I then tried a folded metal arrangement and I couldn't get the film truly flat. So does anyone have an idea on where I could either get a neg carrier or how to build one simply and cheaply? Thanks! Isaac

Students at Albertville Primary School collected donations during the month of February as part of the 23rd Annual Pennies for Patients program, benefiting the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS).
Students teamed together, each contributing a little and the total was an amazing $1942.87.
"Our students and staff did a great job of giving selflessly to help children and others battling cancer," said principal Ann-Marie Foucault. She gave special thanks to Highland Bank in St. Michael for counting all the coins. "One penny acting alone doesn't accomplish much, but when we all work together, anything is possible," she said.

ELYRIA — It was the age-old basketball battle: Quickness versus size.
On Friday, quickness won out as Elyria advanced to tonight's Lorain County Holiday Classic final by defeating Vermilion 66-60. The Pioneers, two-time defending champs, will take on their old-time Buckeye Conference and Erie Shore rival Sandusky, a 64-53 victor over Admiral King. This is the 10th year of the tournament.
"We told them before the game," said Elyria coach Bob Walsh, "put pressure on them. Don't try to steal it. Just put pressure on. Make them turn the ball over but don't reach for it."
"We rushed everything," said Vermilion coach Kurt Habermehl. "We like to play quick, but we were playing too fast. We were trying to make a pass or trying to get a shot off before we could catch the basketball."
"We tried to make good switches on defense," said point guard Promis Cabbil, who came up with 17 points and a handful of assists on the offensive end. "That helped us a lot with the type of pressing defense we played."
"(The Sailors) were big," said Seryrell Davis, who also scored 17 points and pulled in 10 rebounds for Elyria. "We had to board up (with them). Coach told us to play hard. Coach said we had the advantage with our quickness. We had to come up with the steals and turnovers."
Turnovers were the Sailors' undoing. Eight in the first quarter, 11 in the second, a half-dozen in the third and seven more in the final quarter added up to way too many for Vermilion to have any chance of winning. It took away the one area the Sailors had the advantage in – rebounding.
"We showed a little bit of our youth," Habermehl said. "We have only two seniors and a lot of kids who haven't played a lot of varsity basketball. But, I'm proud of them. They put themselves in a position to win the basketball game."
Vermilion battled back from a 41-34 deficit with five minutes left in the third quarter to take a 50-45 lead a minute into the final quarter. The Sailors used their height and size to their advantage with stick-backs and strong play inside. Only Davis and Mykel Williams stood over 6-foot-4 for Elyria, and Travis Noble, the Pioneers other 'big man' at 6-2, was sidelined for disciplinary reasons. Everyone else Walsh employed was under the 6-foot mark.
"We thought we had a little bit of an advantage inside," Habermehl said. "If we could get it to our post players and take advantage of it a little bit and finish off inside because of (Elyria's) lack of size but we had a couple balls roll in and out. That happens."
Vermilion, with four players listed at 6-4 or better, did a good job once it got the ball inside. Three of them – Derek Barbato, Tim Clark and Derek Hoebing — finished in double-figure scoring and five players corralled at least four rebounds, led by Clark with nine.
"We seemed to be a little nervous playing in front of a big crowd," said Demetrius Dalton, Elyria's leading scorer with 21 points. "We got a little frustrated that (Vermilion) was keeping up with us. Coach kept telling us to calm down and play straight."
Elyria did just that down the stretch. The Pioneers got to the foul line more and more as the game wore on. Elyria took 19 foul shots in the final quarter, sinking 13, and pulled in 10 rebounds – five by Davis – in the fourth quarter to just seven for the Sailors. To that point, Vermilion had twice as many rebounds, 34-17.
"Coming into this year, we weren't sure Seryrell would bang on the boards," Walsh said. "We knew we'd be outsized by most of the teams we play. He's shown me I've got nothing to worry about. He'll stick his nose in there."
Sandusky represents the third different team the Pioneers have faced in the title game. Elyria defeated King last year and Vermilion two years ago. The Pioneers are hoping for their seventh crown in the 10 years of the tournament.

At least he won't appear on "Broke"
Klay Thompsons dad will cut his allowance after league fine. Im not kidding.
Klay Thompson is 23, a part of the young core of the Golden State Warriors, a guy who already is considered one of the leagues better shooters. Hes still on his rookie deal, so hes only going to make $2.2 million this season, and not much more next season.
Hes going to make a little less this week the league fined Thompson $35,000 for his involvement in the dust up with the Pacers this week.
But Klay wont notice because doesnt get his bi-weekly checks from the Warriors anyway they go to his father, Mychal, who gives him a weekly allowance. Seriously. And is dad is going to cut his allowance after that fine. Just for the record again, Klay is 23.
Mychal the former No. 1 overall pick and part of the Showtime Lakers who is now a Lakers radio broadcaster has said on the air in Los Angeles more than once that he gets Klays checks and puts them in the bank then gives his son a $300 a week in spending money. The elder Thompson takes care of all the bills.
CSNBayArea.com had excerpts of a recent Mychal radio broadcast talking about his sons finances.
He will [figure it out] when he sees that cash envelope show up a little short this week, said Mychal, a two-time NBA champion in his own right.
Mychal, while watching the ruckus unfold, was hoping Klay wouldnt lose his temper and get involved.
Then Roy Hibbert turned his back & [Klay] was like nows my chance! Mychal said. I was like you idiot!
On some level, I wish more parents would do this for their NBA player sons or could be trusted to do it without blowing the money. Far too many NBA players start living like theyre Jay-Z once the game checks start rolling in, living basically paycheck-to-paycheck. The average NBA player is in the league less than five years, those checks dry up and then there is nothing left. It would be great if someone helped more of those young players build for their futures (some do, it should be noted).
But Klay Thompson has not only his rookie deal but also a couple nice contracts coming after that if you can shoot the rock you can play in the league a long time. Klay is averaging 16.2 points per game this season (better than his fathers career average of 13.7) and is shooting 38.1 percent from three (but just 41.4 percent overall). At some point, once there is a nice next egg built up, Klay should take charge of his own finances. Just an idea.

Princess, rebel, basket case and brain reunite for 'Breakfast Club' anniversary
Molly Ringwald, Judd Nelson, Ally Sheedy and Anthony Michael Hall from The Breakfast Club reunited in New York to celebrate the film's 25th anniversary Tuesday on Good Morning America. (Emilio Estevez wasn't there; he's filming in Canada.)
"I think it's just that there hasn't been anything else even remotely as meaningful and charming," Ringwald said. "Everybody in high school, no matter what they look like, no matter what ethnicity they are, they always feel in some way that they're an outcast," she said. See the full interview in this video.

Massive power crash. Phones down. No TV, no radio, no computers. Chaos and lawlessness ensue. Suburban proto-yuppies Matt and his wife Annie panic; they have a screaming baby with an ear infection. They can't get the medicine they need to cure the infant because the pediatrician can't call in the prescription. Matt, a pampered, upper-middle-class weenie, alternately pleads with and cajoles the pharmacist to bend the rules and release the medicine without a 'scrip. "You know me!" Matt whines. "My wife and I have been coming here for over a year!"
The pharmacist stiffens, looks down his nose at Matt, and sneers, "I don't know you. And what's more, I don't like you."
That may sound a bit harsh, but watching The Trigger Effect, you'll understand exactly how he feels. You wouldn't admit that you know Matt either, nor do the filmmakers give you any reason to like him. If anything, you'll wish you were behind the counter so that you could have the pleasure of decking the petulant little priss.
That is probably not the reaction writer-director David Koepp was hoping to elicit. Instead of identifying with the protagonists of Koepp's film, you feel only apathy -- a fatal flaw in a movie struggling to generate suspense from the plight of three supposedly Everyman/Everywoman types suddenly gripped by paranoia when a mysterious and unexplained event renders useless the everyday technology they have taken for granted.
What causes the power failure? Koepp, whose writing credits include megabudget blockbusters Jurassic Park and Mission: Impossible, never really answers that question. He expects you simply to accept the hypothetical what-would-happen-if-the-power-went-out premise. The Trigger Effect primarily concerns itself with the effects of a breakdown in societal norms among civilized characters, not with explaining the mechanical origins of that breakdown. It's a serious miscalculation on his part. Blackouts happen, but rarely do they take out all phone and radio communication. Koepp wants you to share in the characters' confusion, but first he has to earn your suspension of disbelief by making their quandary believable.
Logic was not high on Koepp's list of essential plot ingredients. The writer-director saddles his would-be psychological thriller with a hole-riddled narrative that moves slowly and episodically. Matt and Annie's sex life has cooled off considerably since they had the baby. Annie can scarcely contain her frustration at the passion vacuum, but Matt doesn't seem to miss it. Enter studly pal Joe, a construction foreman rendered idle by the power outage. Joe brings unconfirmed rumors of rampant looting and violence. Annie, unnerved by the news and reassured by the presence of a male with more cojones than her milquetoast hubby, invites Joe to hang around until the lights come back on. That night, however, she drinks too much wine and openly flirts with Joe. Later, she sneaks out of Matt's bed for a heated rendezvous with Joe in the kitchen. Upon her return Matt, who has only pretended to be asleep, says nothing.
So you figure Matt and Joe are headed for a showdown. But as quickly as Koepp sets up the potential triangle, he drops it and dashes off on another narrative tangent. Matt and Joe team up to confront a burglar, and the incident turns violent. Annie becomes too paranoid to stay in her own home, so the three of them pack up the baby and set out on a long journey for Annie's parents' house in a different part of the state. (Despite having no way of knowing if the power is out there too, they assume the place will be safer.) They don't have enough gas to make it all the way to their destination, but what the hell.
From a claustrophobic suburban nightmare with a potentially explosive love triangle kicker, the film shifts gears into a surrealistic road movie. Everybody's fleeing the city, but nobody has enough gas. A nasty confrontation with a petrol-thirsty stranger strands the intrepid travelers in the middle of nowhere. The stage is set for Matt to prove his manliness by risking his life to save his family and his friend.

Koepp means to cross the average-guy-pushed-over-the-edge-in-a-world-gone-haywire premise of Falling Down with the marital-infidelity-bringing-out-the-animal-masculine-violence-in-a-previously-meek-guy angle of Straw Dogs. But his narrative is so sloppy and his button-pushing so obvious that Koepp ends up with a lightweight work that seems more suited for TV movie-of-the-week status than theatrical release.
All three central performances -- Kyle MacLachlan as Matt, Elisabeth Shue as Annie, and Dermot Mulroney as Joe -- lack depth and resonance. You sense that in Shue's and Mulroney's cases, Koepp's writing and direction are more to blame than bad acting; their roles feel thin and perfunctory but the actors still manage to inject some spunk. MacLachlan, on the other hand, is a lost cause. He comes off as shallow and spineless even when he acts heroically. While David Lynch used MacLachlan's coddled preppie frat-boy looks to eerie effect in Blue Velvet, they are a liability here. Matt is just too timid and repressed to like unless the actor playing him suggests some underlying strength of character; MacLachlan's WASP pretty-boy looks only buttress the initial impression of Matt as a gutless, sexless, self-absorbed, Volvo-driving, silk pajama-wearing bottled-water drinker. The actor has starred in four of the worst movies of the past dozen years -- Dune, Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me, The Flintstones, and Showgirls. The Trigger Effect may not be a clunker of that magnitude, but it does nothing to dispel the cloud of failure hanging over the actor's name. Casting MacLachlan in the lead was Koepp's most grievous mistake; the effect his presence triggers is to drain the life out of an already wounded movie.
The Trigger Effect.
Written and directed by David Koepp; with Kyle MacLachlan, Elisabeth Shue, and Dermot Mulroney.

The Duchess sits contentedly next to her husband, and the Duke holds family pup Lupo on his lap. Baby is still catching 40 winks!
Lovely shots, though Kate looks tired. That's definitely a "new mom" symptom, which I am sure she is handling with gusto. Nanny or not, with a great family support system, George and Kate have it made.

False Memorial
Even in this cynical, jaded, ironic world, there are some sacred calves: you don't laugh at funerals, you don't fart during blowjobs, and you don't make light of Sept. 11.
In fact, when it comes to popular culture, it seems the principal architects—with the exception of Bruce Springsteen, Michael Moore and a handful of songs from such people as Steve Earle and Suzanne Vega—have steered clear of in-depth personal or political explorations of Sept. 11.
But not the theater. Even before the ashes had settled and the DNA had been accounted for, New York's smaller theaters were deluged with plays about Sept. 11. Not surprising—one of theater's most ancient virtues remains as vital now as ever: catharsis.
None of those plays have lasted beyond the initial crisis or been produced much outside New York. Except The Guys, a two-person account of the personal fallout of that most public of disasters. Written by Anne Nelson, the play premiered in New York 12 weeks after the event, was embraced by such A-list celebs as Tim Robbins and Sigourney Weaver, and was turned into a film in 2002, immediately enshrining it as The Sept. 11 Play.

This is its first production in Orange County, courtesy of the Vanguard Theatre Ensemble. While an interesting choice for the company—which is jumping full-bore into producing theater after a nearly two-year hiatus—the play doesn't support its weighty concerns.
Not that it isn't genuinely heartfelt and sincere. It's based on a true story about a New York fire captain struggling with writing eulogies for eight of his fallen men. Unable to accomplish this, he seeks out a journalist to help him write and process what he's feeling.
The Guys definitely succeeds in humanizing the canonized; that's evident in the script and the production. But it's hard to shake the feeling we're supposed to care about these people—and this play—because we're just supposed to.
That could be possible if this play truly served as a memorial to those firefighters who perished. But Nelson's script seems more concerned with convincing us to care about the New Yorkers who survived the attack. We're asked to care about their grief, their anger, and the fact that their sense of place and self is irrevocably shattered because of these attacks.
Uh, no. Anyone who's been to New York before and after Sept. 11 knows the city has triumphantly survived, albeit with a very large hole in its ground as well as its collective heart.
Maybe when The Guys first came out, it served as an important part of New York's healing process, but three years later, it feels like an afterthought. A better script may have captured the sense of desolation and loss that permeated the Big Apple in the days and weeks after Sept. 11 and translated it onto a more universal canvas. The Guys didn't and doesn't.
