Fantasia (UK - BD RB)
Marcus steals a wizards hat and makes a broom write his Fantasia BD review...
The latest Disney classic arrives on Blu-ray and with a release like the 1940 Fantasia, they don't get much more classic than this. Disney's third full-length feature and a bit of a Walt Disney pet project, Fantasia is, for those who don't know, a collection of short films set to classical music and animated with some of the finest work the studio ever put out.
Fantasia isn't your usual Disney feature; in fact I could imagine a modern child audience zoning out not long into the opening 'Toccata and Fuge in D Minor' piece which is a whole lot of abstract art floating around to a bit of Bach. As an adult viewer and a massive fan of animation in general, I appreciate the entire project for the ballsy experiment it is (I mean look at the entire Disney feature length history, this really is an anomaly), but even I have to admit I don't really connect with the whole thing until Mickey turns up with 'The Sorcerer's Apprentice' (even though the 'Nutcracker Suite' really does have some great moments).
Anyway, The Sorcerer's Apprentice utterly deserves its standing in movie history. The whole piece is a joy. The music, the dark tone and of course Mickey Mouse in all his cinematic glory. The imagery of Mickey in his magician's hat is one of most memorable images that sum up the magic of Disney and frankly the lack of Mickey Mouse on the big screen is something the Disney Studio needs to rectify soon. It's Mickey, give him a 2D movie for Walt's sake; give the world a feel good jolt to the cinema screen.
As the movie continues there's a real sense that these pieces sometimes play out a tad too long, especially for a modern, not so classical music inclined audience, but every time I watch Fantasia I find myself loving the delicate work the animators put into the project. It just catches up with me on every re-watch and there really is some exquisite work on show here, though to counter that, it has to be said a lot of it looks seriously dated too—pretty much of all the 'Rite of Spring' looks like animation from another planet as opposed to seventy years ago. It's not very Disney at all but then that's sort of the joy of Fantasia - Walt Disney was experimenting on a massive scale and why not? The guy, against all odds just had two massive cinematic hits, why not indulge himself a little?
Moving through the intermission (which was probably needed with the two hour plus runtime—that's long for a Disney movie) we are presented with the 'Pastoral Symphony', which is classic Disney Silly Symphonies stuff and with a style Disney have evolved in many of their movies over the years. 'Dance of The Hours' is fun but with the hippos, crocs and ostriches, it brings back bad childhood memories of the dead hard level on the Megadrive Fantasia game (if I'm honest, that game is my fondest memory of Fantasia). Finishing up, we get 'Night on Bald Mountain' which considering it's part of a Disney movie is dark as hell with its visual designs. Disney should get back to creepy cartoons and the haunting finale, 'Ave Maria' which feels like a short animation you'd catch on the BBC on Christmas day and barely Disney feeling at all.
Given the option to see it in 4:3 or 4:3 with Disney View (to fill the rest of the widescreen with pretty pictures/colours) the big jump up in HD power from the original SD DVD is the colour. The orchestra opening literally glows off of the screen. The orange lighting on the conductor's face suffers from a small bit of banding but overall it's a striking image that's an obvious step up from an already great DVD.
As for the animated segments, they vary in quality, mainly due to the techniques used and the age of the work. Technically speaking, the image is clean as a whistle, not a blemish can be seen and as far as restoration goes, Disney haven't mucked about.
The colours can be a little iffy, either too pale or too bright in places, but that's more to do with the age of the movie. You can see the age of the animation if you compare it to a modern flick like the Princess and the Frog but considering the age of Fantasia this is every bit as good as Snow White and Pinocchio was on Blu-ray and when the transfer is good, it's astonishing. The Sorcerer's Apprentice segment, probably fares the best due to its importance to the Disney history and Mickey's outfit has never looked so good.
This is certainly the best Fantasia has ever looked and Disney once again proves to be one of, if not the best studio out there for producing incredible Blu-ray's for not only their big new releases but their classic catalogue titles too.
Well the conductor's voice still ain't in sync but that's Fantasia, he ain't ever gonna feel less than weird with his disconnected voice. Other than that this is all about the music, which with the 7.1 DTS-HD Master Audio track is everything you'd ever want from Fantasia. Every instrument is incredibly powerful and has some great clarity. Surround speakers are used to pinpoint certain instruments (even if it's not consistently utilised as much as it feels it should) and when multiple instruments kick off you feel their power.
Strings dash across the front speakers in waves and every nuance is felt even in the louder moments, it's all impressive for the entire two hours and for a track that's only churning out music, Fantasia can be more dynamic than a lot of recent movies I've reviewed.
With a whole host of Disney trailers on the disc advertising Disney 3D Blu-ray, Lion King and Bambi coming to Blu-ray next year and the pretty looking Tangled to name but a few, Disney go about making me excited for another years' worth of releases.
The 'Disney Family Museum' (04:06 HD) has Walt Disney's daughter introducing us to the Walt Disney Museum and some of its many gems.
'The Schultheis Notebook: A Disney Treasure' (13:51 HD) is a closer look at Walt Disney's idea's behind the Fantasia project and a look at the archival books that showed how some of the animated effects were achieved. This really is great stuff, especially if you want to see some of the ground-breaking ideas used to make the movie in a time where animation was being pushed into whole new areas.
The 'Interactive Art Gallery' lets you look at the artwork from Fantasia and Fantasia 2000 pretty much however you want to. Large, small, in a slideshow, stuff like that. It was a little annoying but there's plenty to look at.
Lastly there's the commentary with Disney Historian Brian Sibley, the original DVD commentary, interviews and 'Story Note' recreations by Walt Disney himself (all hosted by John Canmaker to make it a little less bizarre) as well as a third commentary with Roy E Disney, conductor James Levine, animation historian John Canemaker and film restoration manager Scott McQueen. All of the tracks are pretty history-lesson based and all feel quite scripted as opposed to loose and fun but all provide oodles of facts and figures about the movies and for those who want it, will provide a complete history of the movie and more.
There's also a DVD copy in keeping the Disney's cross compatibility across your systems.
I'm not going to lie to you, Fantasia feels more dated as every year passes by. Artistically it's astonishing in places, but this is a seventy year old animated movie and for all its nostalgia, the techniques used have for the most part been eclipsed in the years since its release, but that isn't necessarily a bad thing because to me that's what should happen to a Fantasia movie. It presents the current playing field of artists at their best and shows off a project that's achievements should be matched and improved upon. Disney has more than done that in the years since and with the Fantasia 2000 project sixty years later they set another level for Disney artists to aspire to (have you seen the 'Firebird Suite' on that? That's one of the finest animated shorts ever to grace our screens).
The disc looks and sounds great and has the usual host of solid Disney features (though it's not quite the package the 2001 box set was), but should you buy it though? If you love animation, yes you should (though make sure to buy the Fantasia/ Fantasia 2000 double pack as opposed to the single movie—it's a tiny bit more expensive but it'd be silly not to), however, if you want it to sit the kids in front of something and go about your business you might want to stick to Toy Story.

2000 was a must buy for me, so the boxset was the only way.
Haven't seen it in years but liked your comment about it looking dated and that being a good thing. Its from a definite time and place and represents that very well. The Fantasia/Fantasia 2000 Set does not have the DVD copies with it. and Fantasia 2000 is not available seperately. Very annoying.
Been deciding which to buy for the last week or two!

Travel-Inspired Nurseries & Kids Rooms
For some of us there's no place like home, but for others wanderlust reigns supreme. Naturally the latter want to pass on their love of travel to their little ones, and what better place to start than where they'll be spending much of their first few years of life - the nursery. From wallpapering with maps to pictures of planes, decorating with globes and painting giant scenic murals - these parents are hoping their babies will be inspired to see new places, people, and cultures from the start.

Punisher, The (UK - BD RB)
Leigh Riding reviews the second incarnation of Frank Castle on Blu ray
Based upon the Marvel comic book series of the same name, this 2004 version chooses to ignore the events of the first Punisher film from 1989 (starring Dolph Lundgren in the title role), and reinvents the story of Frank Castle, a special agent left devastated by the death of his family at the hands of a large crime family run by Howard Saint. Castle assumes the persona of the Punisher, a figure who vows to wage bloody retribution upon the guilty parties. But will Castle be able to hang up his guns once he avenges his family?
The Punisher franchise is an unusual beast. It's the only series I can think of that has had as many reboots as there have been films, each time replacing the lead actor and reinventing the Punisher's origin. Originally played by Dolph Lundgren in 1989 and most recently in 2008 by Rome star Ray Stevenson, this second attempt at introducing the Frank Castle character courtesy of Thomas Jane veers away from the original source material the most. While this may be of little interest to anybody aside from the Punisher devotees, there is a softening touch that damages the credibility of Castle, possibly one of the most interesting and complex characters in the Marvel roster.
If one were to view the films in some form of unofficial order, conventional Punisher fan wisdom suggests that this version is the origin story explaining how grief pushes Frank over the edge, Punisher: War Zone the second part with the war in full bloody effect, and the Lundgren version the last entry, with a hollow Castle realising that his five year reign is having devastating ramifications. This means Thomas Jane does the heaviest lifting character-wise of the three. Jane makes a good Punisher, but unfortunately Castle's established origin and arc is poorly mapped out by writer/director Johnathan Hensleigh, who botches the conception of the character so badly, one wonders if he actually read the comic books at all.
Seeing as the concept of Frank Castle is that he lives in a grey area of being even more uncompromising, blunt and brutal than the villains that he is dispatching, it's rather an odd choice for Hensleigh to have Castle creating a very complicated and elaborate Yojimbo style plan of pitting his opponents against one another, letting them do Castle's dirty work for him, and then mop up the strays when the dust settles. Sorry, but that's wrong. It might not be where Hensleigh and Jane wanted to go, but the point of the The Punisher is that it's supposed to be a bloody, vicious massacre, and every murder Castle commits takes him further away from the man he used to be. It's a horrendous own goal for fans of the character.
That's not to say that Thomas Jane is bad as the Punisher, as while Dolph Lundgren is closest in spirit and execution to the books and Ray Stevenson is the closest visually (looking incredibly similar to the Garth Ennis/Tim Bradstreet incarnation of Castle), Jane gives the strongest performance of the three Castles. On the other hand, John Travolta is surprisingly weak as Saint. He's always played great action movie villains, but in this he simply seems bored. When the only interesting thing about your main baddie is the fact that he smokes a pipe, you know Travolta's collecting a paycheque. Having said that, the supporting actors are strong, particularly Will Patton and oddball character actor Ben Foster in an unrecognisable role.
Although Hensleigh bodged the script, there's no faulting the direction. For a relatively low budget film, it looks fantastic, and he shoots the action scenes with aplomb, most notably the opening beach scene and the final siege. However, the action is rather thin on the ground. Aside from a half-arsed car crash, there are only three action sequences in the whole film, which is rather unfortunate for a comic book movie like this. Mind you, when one of these scenes is the semi-classic apartment brawl, then I'm a bit more forgiving.
Looking at the franchise in general, this is definitely the best of the three in filmmaking quality, with the 1989 version being low budget, but the closest in spirit, and the 2008 version resembling the Punisher Max era and featuring some amazingly designed action, but with some absolutely atrocious acting and direction. When considering Punisher canon, fans will be pretty disappointed with the plot, but those not terribly interested in comic book continuity will find a solid vigilante actioner.
The 1080p 2.35:1 image is a noticeable improvement over the standard DVD version. For a second-tier back catalogue title, there has been quite a lot of effort put into bringing up the sharpness and detail and fine tuning the image, even more so given that the UK standard release from Sony was rather inferior to the US Lionsgate print. Colours are nice and rich with no bleed, black levels are very strong, and there is no evidence of grain even in night time sequences.
The film deals with multiple textures, from the crusty grime of Castle's apartment to the steely textures of the Saint offices in the final action sequences, and all are handled very well. The Punisher is a film filled with money shots, and iconic images such as Castle wielding a bow and arrow are buffed to a high sheen. A nicer transfer than I was expecting.
Sony offer a quietly impressive Dolby TrueHD 5.1 track that kicks when it needs to and stays quiet when it should. Dialogue is upfront, nice and clear, the action sequences kicked my rear with some superb use of gunfire rumbling around the sounds. Fistfights are guaranteed to make you wince, and the low end is cracking stuff, with some outrageously rocking explosions.
Special mention must go to the score, with the classical music used throughout the fight with the Russian sitting perfectly in the mix, and the acoustic serenade from Harry Heck really pings around the room. This is the best that The Punisher is going to sound.
First up is an engaging commentary from the director, which is always interesting, and Hensleigh is quick to point out failings, which is quite refreshing. Input from Jane would have been nice, mind.
There is a decent raft of standard definition extras available. 'War Journal: Making of The Punisher' is a surprisingly thorough thirty minute documentary looking at the production from the (rather tense) first production meeting through to the release of the film, and is rather packed considering the runtime.
'Drawing Blood Bradstreet Style' is an interview with Tim Bradstreet, who created the artwork for many a classic Punisher book, and he talks about his work crating the amazing promotional posters for the film. It's a shame that the UK gets saddled with the abysmal cover from the old DVD instead of one of his superb pieces.
'Keeping it Real: Stunts of The Punisher' is another decent doc, again running for thirty minutes and focussing upon the CGI free action sequences in good detail.
Also added to the disc (for the first time in the UK) is the animated Kuwait opening sequence from the region one Director's cut DVD. Essentially animated storyboards with Castle voiced by Jane, it's an interesting watch, but please note that despite containing the alternate opening sequence from the director's cut edition, the feature itself is in fact the theatrical cut of the film. There are also two rather brief deleted scenes, which is frustrating considering the doc refers to a two and a half hour cut of The Punisher, and some of the scenes are glimpsed in the feature. Lastly we have the video for Drowning Pool's always hideous song from the credits. In all, a good set.
Despite my negative views on the deviations from the source material, I can't deny the fact that this is still a sturdy little revenge actioner. People new to the character and the franchise will get a far more interesting character based action movie than the synopsis on the box might suggest, and should definitely not be dissuaded by my frothing fanboy rantings. Even existing fans of the film should consider upgrading from standard def, considering the better than expected polishing of the content on this disc. The Punisher is definitely worth a look.

I wish they'd release the director's cut of this film on Blu-Ray as it's far superior compared to the theatrical cut.

I actually quite like this one but then having no real affection for the Punisher as a character, I wasn't really looking for things to be close to the comic.

Milling abour
Just for grins, I searched for flour mills in the USA that sell to the public. It was a fun exercise. In addition to the larger, better-known names such as King Arthur Flour, there are some mills that are probably in TFLers' back yards. Since I don't know most of the millers or their products, I leave it up to you to do your own experimentation.
Please note that I focused primarily on sources that have on-line stores. That means that I left out some that sell only through localized retail outlets. Also note that some of these are very small and may have limited offerings, such as only cornmeal. And I'm sure that the list is in no way exhaustive. Feel free to add your own suggestions.
The list is in no particular order. However each listing will be in the form of mill name, state, website. Here's the list:

I also came across this listing of operating gristmills, which may be of interest.

We believed him. There would seriously have to be no more celebrations of any kind taking place anywhere on the planet before we would actually think that guy would give up partying.
So there really was no reason to run right out and prove it in the most high-profile manner possible.
But that's just what Manziel did. The Cleveland Browns rookie quarterback went out, found a guy people love to hate even more than Manziel and enjoyed a serious throwdown.
That's right -- Johnny Football and
And not only did Manziel party at the Biebs' Beverly Hills crib with Floyd Mayweather Jr. and a bunch of famous people I've never heard of, he also retweeted photos of himself with the whole gang for the world to see.
Now to save you all the trouble of pointing this out, I realize that, as far as we know, nobody actually did anything wrong (although TMZ is reporting that the cops had to come out twice, but only because the music was too loud but also because Beliebers outside were getting a bit too boisterous).
And that Manziel is behaving the same way many 21-year-olds do and has the right to do whatever he wants during his free time, which he has plenty of right now since the Browns are off the next couple of weeks. Etc., etc.
Honestly, I think he's actually quite clever.
In pairing up with a guy like Bieber for yet another massive blowout, Manziel found a way to give all of his critics a great big middle finger without really giving us the middle finger because that would give us a legitimate reason to criticize.

SYCAMORE – Robert Boey's family was not surprised he was presented with the Sycamore Chamber's Clifford Danielson Outstanding Citizen Award.
Boey's wife, Doris, their children, Christopher and Valerie, and good friend, Bill Nicklas, shared stories about him at the chamber's annual meeting Thursday afternoon before presenting him with the award.
" 'The best deal is a deal that works for everyone,' " Christopher said, quoting his father. "Those words wouldn't resonate with me until many years later."
Christopher said he was pleased that his father's remarkable qualities were being recognized in such a public way.
Relocating to Sycamore from New York in 1981, Boey moved here to head up the engineering department at Anaconda Wire and Cable. He's also known as a partner in American Bare Conductor Inc. and the Sycamore Industrial Park Corp.
Along with his business involvement, Boey also has served on the boards of trustees for Northern Illinois University and Kishwaukee College, he was one of the founders of the DeKalb County Economic Development Corp., and he has served on the boards of Kishwaukee Hospital, the NIU Foundation, the DeKalb Planning Commission and Castle Bank.
Boey's wife, Doris, joked that she's been "riding on Bob's coattails for over 50 years. And it's been a great ride."
Their daughter, Valerie, called her father their hero. She said even though he worked long hours, he never missed a performance when she was a member of the high school's pompon squad.
"It was a great feeling, knowing my dad was there cheering me on," she said.
Nicklas, NIU vice president of public safety and community relations, introduced Boey and presented the award.
Boey shared a couple of anecdotes about his move to Sycamore, meeting former NIU President Bill Monat for the first time and working with Clifford Danielson.
Karen Pletsch, the general manager of Shaw Media's DeKalb operations, was introduced as the president of the chamber's executive committee for 2014. Shaw Media owns the Daily Chronicle.
With 355 people present, the chamber also recognized DeKalb Sycamore Chevrolet Cadillac GMC with the Discover Diamond award, Northern Illinois University received the Chamber Champion Award, Barnaby Complete Printing Services was honored with the Chamber Spirit – Outstanding Small Business award and NB&T was given the Chamber Vision – Outstanding Business award.

- Register of Probate. Maine, Kennebec County Probate Estates Files. Kennebec County Registry-Probate, Augusta, Maine.
Suggested citation format for a record in this collection.
Record Content
Probate records include petitions, inventories, accounts, decrees and other court documents. Genealogical facts in entries are:
- Name of testator or deceased
- Names of heirs such as spouse, children, and other relatives or friends
- Name of executor, administrator, or guardian
- Names of witnesses
- Residence of testator
- Document and recording dates (Used to approximate event dates, i.e. a will is often written near time of death)
How to Use the Record
To begin your search it is helpful to know:
- The name of the deceased
- The approximate death or probate date
- The place of death
Search the Collection
To search the collection:
⇒Select the "Browse" link in the initial search page
⇒Select the appropriate "County" link which takes you to the images
⇒Select the appropriate "VolumeTitle and Year" link which takes you to the images
Look at the images one by one comparing the information with what you already know about your ancestors to determine which one is your ancestor. You may need to compare the information about more than one person to make this determination.
Using the Information
When you have located your ancestor's record, carefully evaluate each piece of information given. These pieces of information may give you new biographical details that can lead you to other records about your ancestors. Add this new information to your records of each family. For example:
- Use probate records to identify heirs and relatives.
- Use the document (such as the will) or the recording dates to approximate a death date.
- Use the information in the probate record to substitute for civil birth and death records since the probates exist for an earlier time period.
- You may be able to use the probate record to learn about land transactions.
- Use the birth date or age along with the residence or place of birth of the deceased to locate census, church, and land records.
- Use the occupations listed to find other types of records such as employment records or military records.
Tips to Keep in Mind
- Compile the entries for every person who has the same surname as the deceased; this is especially helpful in rural areas or if the surname is unusual.
- Continue to search the records to identify children, siblings, parents, and other relatives who may have also died in the same county. This can help you identify other generations of your family or even the second marriage of a parent. Repeat this process for each new generation you identify.
- Probate records often have information about adoptions or guardianship of any minor children and dependents. Be aware that the spouse named may not be the parent of the children listed.
- The records may omit the names of deceased family members and those who have previously received an inheritance.
- When looking for a person who had a common name, look at all the entries for the name before deciding which is correct.
- There is also some variation in the information given from one record to another record.
- The death date, residence, and other facts that were current at the time of the probate proceeding are quite reliable, though there is still a chance of misinformation.
Unable to Find Your Ancestor?
- Check for variant spellings of the surnames.
- Check for an index. Local genealoical and historical societies often have indexes to local records.
- Search the indexes and records of nearby counties.

This Thanksgiving, I was more than thankful for the delicious, homemade spread my fiance, his mom, and I cooked up. Our local, free-range turkey, organic sweet potato casserole, fresh cranberry and orange relish, organic stuffing, gluten-free pies for the celiacs in the fam, etc. all came out even tastier than we had hoped. But as in most houses, there were lotsa leftovers, which we were perfectly happy to continue feasting on for daaaays as lunch and dinner -- and in some cases, even breakfast! Fast forward to today -- and we are most definitely, 100 percent turkey-ed out!
You probably are too. And hence why it's the perfect time to explore fresh meal ideas that are 180 degrees from Thanksgiving. Because as grateful as we are for them, we could all use a break from our leftovers!
Asian - A couple of days after Thanksgiving, I started craving anything stir-fried and best cooked in a wok! Nothing like some Far East flavors to mix it up after gorging yourself on all-American cooking. Go-to recipe: Orange Chicken Stir-Fry.
Make breakfast for dinner - Sure, indulgent breakfasts can be a part of Thanksgiving weekend, but typically the holiday revolves around dinner ... and dinner foods. Not breakfast for dinner, which would make a great post-Turkey Day meal. Go-to recipe: Personal Omelets, Potatoes Lyonnaise, Bacon & Sausage.
Mexican - When my fiance and I decided to go out on Saturday night with my soon-to-be brother-in-law and his girlfriend, my #1 pick for the restaurant was a Tex-Mex joint, because well, guac, salsa, and a shrimp burrito are nothing like turkey! But oh so yum. Go-to recipe: Cilantro-Lime Chicken (or Shrimp) Fajitas With Grilled Onions.
Go vegetarian - We love to make fun of vegetarians and vegans eating fake turkey (or no turkey!) on Thanksgiving, but after we've had our fill of the bird, it's easy to envision yourself following in their footsteps and swearing off of ALL meat for a while! So why not try a meatless Monday (or Tuesday, Wednesday, etc.) dinner? Go-to recipe: Quinoa Chili.
Mangia Italiano ... or better yet, PIZZA! - Sure, some families probably serve pasta at their Thanksgiving dinner, but who eats pizza on Turkey Day?! That's why now is the time to make an awesome one. And here's a fab, easy recipe for a Classic Margherita Pizza from TheKitchn.com ...
1 pound pizza dough, storebought or homemade
1 pound (2 large) ripe summer tomatoes or 1 16-oz can whole or diced tomatoes
1 clove garlic
1/4 cup loosely packed basil, sliced into ribbons
8 ounces mozzarella cheese, sliced
Salt and pepper
- Heat the oven to 550°F or as hot as it can go. Place a baking stone or baking sheet in the oven as it heats.
- Divide the dough in half and shape each half into 10" rounds. Set aside.
- Cut the tomatoes into wedges and trim away the stem area. Gently squeeze the wedges over a bowl to remove the excess juices and seeds. Combine the tomatoes with the garlic and half of the basil in the bowl of a food processor or blender. Process until the tomatoes break down into a sauce, scraping down the sides as needed. If desired, strain to make a thicker sauce.
- Spread a light layer of the sauce over one of the rounds of pizza. Top with half of the slices of mozzarella. Leave some space between the pieces of mozzarella.
- Transfer the pizzas to the preheated baking stone or baking sheet. Bake for 5-10 minutes—exact cooking time will vary depending on your oven temperature. Pizzas are finished when the crust is deep brown with charred spots and the cheese is bubbling.
- Top and bake the second pizza. Sprinkle each pizza with basil as it comes out of the oven. Let them cool briefly before slicing and serving.
What non-Thanksgiving leftover meals will you be eating this week?

Corbin's Colorful Crib
Name: Corbin (ETA May 2012)
Location: Chesapeake, VA
My fiance and I are expecting a baby boy, Corbin Lee, in late May 2012. I was super stressed out on how I wanted to decorate his nursery because I didn't want it to be a "themed" nursery. I really love color, D.I.Y. projects, and wanted to make it real personal.
I did A LOT of online research for ideas and really got into Pinteresting. Well it only took about 3 months to get it all together and we had such a good time working together on certain projects and really bringing it together!
It's now the best room in the house and we've decided he can't be sent to his room as a punishment because it's too fun! We bought our crib/changing table off Craigslist and painted it white, the rug and book case are from IKEA, the curtains are from Target, the Robot Quilt is from Etsy and the other little details we made ourselves. The skateboard coat rack is my fiance's old skateboard. I'm very proud of this room and excited to share it with everyone!
Thanks Sandy!

Are you a "BIRTHER" or a "MARK".
In the old neighborhood we would get a empty Sony TV box, glue cement blocks or bricks in it, reseal it and sell it on the street for $100.00 with the story that it was a $600.00 Sony TV that fell off a FedEx truck. Anyone that bought it without opening it was labeled a "Mark" A Bernie Madoff client, a Schmuck.
The ones that wanted to see what's in the box before they bought it, today would be labeled a "Birther"
Are you a "BIRTHER" or a "MARK". Do you believe Obama was born in Kapi'olani hospital? If you do I have a bridge I would like to sell you. It goes from Brooklyn to Manhattan, ready for a toll booth to be installed.
A "Mark" BELIEVED BILL CLINTON WHEN HE SAID: "I DID NOT HAVE SEXUAL RELATIONS WITH THAT WOMAN" Then they found the stained dress. He lied and they became a "Birther".
A "Mark" BELIEVED JOHN EDWARDS WHEN HE SAID: "THAT'S NOT MY BABY" Then the Enquirer exposed him. He lied and they became a "Birther".
A "Mark" BELIEVED WILLIAM "FREEZER" JEFFERSON WHEN HE SAID: "I DON'T KNOW HOW THAT CASH GOT IN MY FREEZER" Then they threw him in the slammer and they knew he lied and they became a "Birther".
A "Mark" BELIEVED LINDA LINGEL WHEN SHE SAID: "So I had my health director, who is a physician by background, go personally view the birth certificate in the birth records of the Department of Health, and we issued a news release at that time saying that the president was, in fact, born at Kapi'olani Hospital in Honolulu, Hawaii. And that's just a fact and yet people continue to call up and e-mail and want to make it an issue and I think it's again a horrible distraction for the country by those people who continue this."
Then they learned she lied, Fukino's statement never identified Kapiolani as Obama's birthplace and they became a "Birther".
Fukino said, "[I have]...personally seen and verified that the Hawai'i State Department of Health has Sen. Obama's original birth certificate on record...,"
Beyond the lie, if Lingle disclosed Obama's birth hospital without his permission, she has committed a misdemeanor. If Obama gave permission for this public disclosure, then Hawaii no longer has a basis for maintaining the privacy of Obama's birth records.
Welcome to the new members of the growing army of "BIRTHERS"
Chris Mathews, Rush Limbaugh, Hawaii Governor Abercrombie Senator Will Espero and Hawaii Legislators; Rida Cabanilla, Jerry Chang, Joey Manahan, John Mizuno and Calvin Say to name a few.
Proud to be a "Birther"

1976: The first First Night
1976: The first First Night
Dec. 29, 1976: As part of the countdown to First Night 1977, Mark Dannenhauer skied through the First Night doorway as Dancing Bear (Ellie Hayes) looked on. The pair from the Northeast Puppet Theater rehearsed in Waterfront Park for their First Night performance.
Dec. 31, 1976: The environmental art in the total First Night scene involved a number of innovative pieces. Setting up his "Sky Drawing" exhibit on Boston Common was Jeff Stetson (left) with John Donahue and Billy Lockyer helping him. Arranged 20 feet from the ground, chemoluminescence was pumped into the clear tubing creating the drawing in the sky.
Dec. 31, 1976: The only real disappointment of the night was the 200-foot red and white balloon scheduled to be lofted at 9:30 near the stage on the Boston Common baseball field. It never got off the ground. Gusting winds up to 30 miles per hour kept collapsing the balloon, and workers, buffeted by winds and cold, gave up the battle shortly before 10 p.m.
Dec. 31, 1976: Susan Espinola, 12, of Winthrop got her face painted at an art booth set up by the Massachusetts College of Art on Boston Common.
Dec. 31, 1976: Bob Holloway entertained First Night fans with some jazz on his saxophone.
Dec. 31, 1976: Fireworks crowned New Year's festivities on Boston Common that attracted 30,000 celebrants.

Q. This question is about fasting on Good Friday. I ate boiled crayfish. However, there was sausage boiled in the same water. I did not eat the meat, but was told it was a sin because the meat was boiled in the same water as the crayfish. There were non-Catholics at the function, I was not in control of the situation, but need to know if this is a sin.
C.N., via e-mail
A. Here is a reply from Father Francis Hoffman, J.C.D.:
You are only culpable for a sin if you are aware it is a sin at the moment of the action. If you thought you were keeping the law by not eating the meat, then it was not a sin.
While it clearly would have been better for a Catholic to avoid eating something that was tainted by meat, I think you did the best you could in those circumstances.
But here's the good news: welcome aboard, because we are all sinners! That's why I never tire of suggesting that folks go to confession at least every 40 days. Otherwise, they will forget they are sinners, and then they will have no use for Jesus Christ, who came to save sinners.

"Oracle has pulled the rug out from under Intel's Itanium processor by yanking support of its database, middleware, and application software on future Poulson and Kittson Itaniums. It looks as though Larry Ellison wants to take on IBM in microprocessors for data center systems, man to man, head to head. 'I remember when we first bought Sun, a lot of people said we were going to get out of the hardware business," Oracle's co-founder and CEO said opening up his keynote at the OpenWorld customer and partner and conference on Sunday night, when he also announced the new Exalytics in-memory BI appliance. 'I guess we didn't get that memo,' Ellison quipped, pointing out that Apple is doing a 'pretty good job' designing its own hardware and software and making it work well with its own services. And that Oracle is not only committed to making its server, storage, and networking business work, but having taken Sun's hardware as a means of getting its hands on Solaris and Java, Oracle is actually enthusiastic about creating its own stack."

Exactly, how does a farm boy with zero military training blow up a moon sized space ship with one shot?

Weve all heard the official conspiracy theory of the Death Star attack. We all know about Luke Skywalker and his ragtag bunch of rebels, how they mounted a foolhardy attack on the most powerful, well-defended battle station ever built. And weve all seen the video over, and over, and over, of the one-in-a-million shot that resulted in a massive chain reaction that not just damaged, but completely obliterated that massive technological wonder.
Like many, I was fed this story when I was growing up. But as I watched the video, I began to realize that all was not as it seemed. And the more I questioned the official story, the deeper into the rabbit hole I went.
Presented here are some of the results of my soul-searching regarding this painful event. Like many citizens, I have many questions that I would like answered: was the mighty Imperial government really too incompetent to prevent a handful of untrained nerf-herders from destroying one of their most prized assets? Or are they hiding something from us? Who was really behind the attack? Why did they want the Death Star destroyed? No matter what the answers, we have a problem.
Below is a summary of my book, Uncomfortable Questions: An Analysis of the Death Star Attack, which presents compelling evidence that we all may be the victims of a fraud of immense proportions.
1) Why were a handful of rebel fighters able to penetrate the defenses of a battle station that had the capability of destroying an entire planet and the defenses to ward off several fleets of battle ships?
2) Why did Grand Moff Tarkin refuse to deploy the stations large fleet of TIE Fighters until it was too late? Was he acting on orders from somebody to not shoot down the rebel attack force? If so, who, and why?
3) Why was the rebel pilot who supposedly destroyed the Death Star reported to be on the Death Star days, maybe hours, prior to its destruction? Why was he allowed to escape, and why were several individuals dressed in Stormtrooper uniforms seen helping him?
4) Why has there not been an investigation into allegations that Darth Vader, the second-ranking member of the Imperial Government, is in fact the father of the pilot who allegedly destroyed the Death Star?
5) Why did Lord Vader decide to break all protocols and personally pilot a lightly armored TIE Fighter? Conveniently, this placed Lord Vader outside of the Death Star when it was destroyed, where he was also conveniently able to escape from a large-sized rebel fleet that had just routed the Imperial forces. Why would Lord Vader, one of the highest ranking members of the Imperial Government, suddenly decide to fly away from the Death Star in the middle of a battle? Did he know something that the rest of the Imperial Navy didnt?
In the video of the Death Stars destruction, Lord Vader clearly exclaims I have you now then fires two shots. Those shots never impact anywhere. Were they merely added to the official video after the event to make it appear that Lord Vader had at least attempted to fight off his alleged son?
Emperor Palpatine fails to act after being informed of the attack
6) Nerf-Herders defy the laws of physics? How could any pilot shoot a missile into a 2 meter-wide exhaust port, let alone a pilot with no formal training, whose only claim to fame was his ability to bullseye womprats on Tatooine? This shot, according to one pilot, would be impossible, even for a computer. Yet, according to additional evidence, the pilot who allegedly fired the missile turned off his targeting computer when he was supposedly firing the shot that destroyed the Death Star. How did the missile make a right angle turn after entering the exhaust port? How could a missile shot in the vacuum of spacethat would tend to keep going in the same direction as it was released, according to the laws of physicsbe *sucked* into an *exhaust* pipe? Exhaust means to exhale or blow out Wouldnt the missiles have been blown awry of their target rather than sucked in? If it had been an intake pipe, then the bending path of the missiles could be plausible. Why have these discrepancies never been investigated, let alone explained?
7) Why has their been no investigation into evidence that the droids who provided the rebels with the Death Star plans were once owned by none other than Lord Vader himself, and were found, conveniently, by the pilot who destroyed the Death Star, and who is also believed to be Lord Vaders son? Evidence also shows that the droids were brought to one Ben Kenobi, who, records indicate, was Darth Vaders teacher many years earlier! Are all these personal connections between the conspirators and a key figure in the Imperial government supposed to be coincidences?
How could a single missile destroy a battle station the size of a moon? No records, anywhere, show that any battle station or capital ship has ever been destroyed by a single missile. Furthermore, analysis of the tape of the last moments of the Death Star show numerous small explosions along its surface, prior to it exploding completely! Why does all evidence indicate that strategically placed explosives, not a single missile, is what destroyed the Death Star?
9) Prior to the destruction of the Death Star a smuggler named Captain Solo was reportedly given a large sum of money. At a crucial point in the battle, Captain Solo had an unobstructed shot on his choice of the fighters pursuing Skywalker, yet Solo did not take advantage of this opportunity to kill Darth Vader. Although Vader was in the process of firing upon Skywalkers X-wing, Solo attacked the defensive fighter instead. In the aftermath, Vader escaped, while Solo still had crates of money in his cargo hold. Captain Solo eventually made his way to the Bespin system, where he was seen dining with none other than Vader, who was reportedly obsessed with obtaining Captain Solos ship (and the money contained therein). Solos ship was then seen flying into the super-structure of the second Death Star, destroying it just after Vader was able to get out (he was seen leaving a shuttle piloted by none other than Luke Skywalker). Yet through this whole sequence of events, the money was never seen removed from Solos ship. Was it used to bribe Darth Vader, who (allegedly) assassinated Palpatine? Did anyone other than Vader and Skywalker actually see Emperor Palpatine die?
10 ) During pilot debriefing we leaned that Obi Wan was the one who told Luke to turn off his targeting computer. He said he was told by Obi Wan to Let go and Trust me. This is the same Obi Wan who was, according to the official story, killed after sabotaging the Death Star by none other than Darth Vader BEFORE speaking to Luke. His convenient death places him inside the Death Star just before the explosions on the surface occur. By faking his death Vader would have given Obi Wan time to plant explosives. The only evidence of his death is his Jedi robe on surveillance cameras. And even that cant be found because they decided to conveniently let the evidence burn in the planet atmosphere. Also, why are there reports from Endor that Lord Vader, Obi Wan and Yoda were seen together AFTER their deaths? And who other than the Empire has the capacity to fake their deaths?
11) Lord Vader executed an officer for incompetence by allowing the rebels to escape. He then orders another officer to disable the Millennium Falcons hyper drive. The rebels once again escape using the disabled hyper drive. Why was the officer responsible for caring out Lord Vaders order to disable the hyper drive not executed? Why was he in fact given NO disciplinary action what so ever? Why did Lord Vader only disable the hyper drive? If Lord Vader didnt want the rebels to escape, why didnt he disable the ship entirely?
12) Why did the captain of the Imperial Stardestroyer not fire upon the lifepod with the droids carrying Death Star plans? The official story says he didnt find the any signs of life. He said Hold your fire. There are no life forms. It must have been short-circuited. Why would he be looking for life when it was electronic plans he should have been looking for. Why did he jump to the conclusion it was short-circuited. Is he a lifepod engineer?
How can all this be just incompetence and coincidence? IMPOSSIBLE!
The most important question of all is why would a shadowy group in the Empire want to destroy such a technological wonder? Is it an excuse to invade Hoth and steal their oil; a planet which didnt have anything to do with the attacks. Or is it to take away your religious freedoms to practice the dark side of the force? As incredible as this sounds it makes more sense than the official story.

A small strip – or rather a 10-meter long one – of Antrim Town quite literally greeted U.S. President Barack Obama when he touched down at Belfast International Airport last Monday morning.
Obama's first step on to Northern Irish soil was straight on to red carpet supplied by Gourley's, a family firm with three stores in the town.
The two carpets marked the path of the President's short stroll from Air Force One to his waiting car, and then from the car to the V.I.P. section of the airport.

Three fishermen were viciously assaulted Thursday evening, June 13, by a gang of youths in Carlow Town, resulting in all three being hospitalized. Jackie Owens and his brothers, Jim and Michael Murphy, were set upon by the gang on the banks of the River Burrin in Carlow town center. "If the Gardaí (police) hadn't come along, I don't know if we'd be here today," Jackie told The Nationalist.
The three veteran anglers were walking on the river bank at approximately 7 p.m. on Thursday when "two young lads came flying up on horses." Jackie confronted the pair, telling them to get off the track because they were a danger to the public and threatened to call the Gardaí if they didn't leave.

Two weeks ago, cyclist groups in Cavan gave a warm welcome to the official opening of one section of a network of cycle paths that ultimately will cost over two-thirds of a million dollars. Cavan Town received a $890,000 grant to develop a cycle and walk pathway on the outskirts of the town.
The Minister of State for public and commuter transport, Alan Kelly, officially opened the cycle path on Tuesday, June 11, one of the many official openings of cycle paths he completed across the country that day. The Active Travel scheme that funded the construction of a 1.5-mile walking path as well as a 3.7-mile cycle lane was supported by the Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport.
The aim of the scheme is to reduce traffic congestion within the town and to encourage more sustainable modes of transport. The next stage of the cycle lane development is due to start in September with an additional eight-mile of cycle lane being funded.

One Cork neighborhood has been left horrified after the discovery of the body of a foal, whose ears and tail had been removed. The mutilated foal, which appears to have died during birth, was discovered by a group of local children, including Kaitlyn O'Connell (12), whose mother, Emer, said the discovery was gruesome.
"There has always been horses in the field where Kaitlyn found the foal. Its two ears and tail had been cut off cleanly, it was obvious that it was done with a knife rather than by another animal. It's crazy, Kaitlyn was very upset when she rung me to say what she had seen. The area the foal was found in is often used by children and walkers and I just don't know why anyone would act out so violently. She was very shaken by the whole thing," Emer O'Connell told the Cork Independent.

A Derry woman charged with a number of offenses under terrorism legislation, including possession of explosives, was granted bail at Belfast High Court last Thursday.
Lesley Concannon, a 32-year-old Zumba teacher who is originally from the U.S.A., was charged along with her 39-year-old husband, Kevin Barry Concannon, following police raids on their home at Beechwood Avenue, Derry two weeks ago.
Her mother and brother flew in from West Virginia for last Thursday's hearing accompanied by a representative from the U.S. Consulate.

Three fishermen have been rescued after their boat sank off Dunaff Head in Inishowen last Wednesday afternoon.
The three men were airlifted to Letterkenny General Hospital after they were brought to shore by another vessel following a mayday call they issued at 1:30 p.m.
The emergency call was made after the vessel, the St. Elizabeth, began taking on water. A rescue operation was coordinated by Malin Head Coast Guard involving two R.N.L.I. Lough Swilly lifeboats, the Mulroy coastguard vessel and the Sligo-based search-and-rescue helicopter.

The community has united in condemnation of the armed robbery of five Dominican fathers in Newry on Thursday evening, June 13.
Around 8:30 p.m., two men, one of whom was armed with a handgun, entered St. Catherine's Dominican Priory in Dominic Street and threatened the five priests who were in the house at the time. The men then made off with a sum of money.
Although unhurt, the clerics have been left very shaken by their ordeal.
S.D.L.P. M.L.A. Dominic Bradley said people are disgusted: "This was a despicable act – the robbery of a community who live by a vow of poverty and depend on donations from its congregation – those who carried it out have shown no respect whatsoever for the Church or its people."

Gardaí (police) last Tuesday began a double murder inquiry after postmortems confirmed that a mother and her daughter died violent deaths after being attacked in their rented home in Killorglin , County Kerry.
The bodies of Lithuanian national Jolanta Lubiene (27) and her daughter Enrika (8) were found by Gardaí at about 8:30 p.m. on Sunday night, June 16, when they called to the two-story semi-detached house at Langford Downs, about two-thirds of a mile from the center of Killorglin.
For operational reasons, Gardaí have not commented on the results of the postmortems on the mother and daughter conducted by assistant State pathologist, Dr. Margot Bolster. It is understood, however, that both victims suffered serious stab wounds

A Kildare farmer and his family were put at considerable risk because of lack of Garda (police) resources, according to Chairman of Athy East Community Alert Area Liam Dunne. The farmer confronted an intruder in his home after he spotted a strange vehicle on his property.
This latest comes in a week when a special report in the Irish Examiner showed that Kildare has proportionally the lowest number of Gardaí compared to any other Garda Division in the country.
With just 15 Gardaí per 10,000 people, Kildare has less than half the number of Gardaí stationed in Limerick and Sligo Leitrim Garda Divisions (31 per 10,000).

Residents living at the Closh and Walkin Street area of the city had reason to celebrate last week, following official confirmation that a skate-park will not be built on their doorstep.
The area had long been proposed as the location of a skate-park for the city. But residents had protested the development on numerous occasions and collected over 170 signatures in a petition against it.
Most of the elected members of the borough council, with the exception of the Fianna Fail group, remained adamant that the Closh was the most suitable area. But at the June council meeting, Clr. Joe Reidy proposed a motion to revoke the resolution referring to the Part 8 development – and Clr. Martin Brett (F.G.) seconded it.

Residents of a Portlaoise estate are "at the end of their tether" because of troublesome neighbors.
Homeowners in Abbey Court on the Abbeyleix Road say they experienced assault, street brawls, loud parties, dangerous driving, illegal dumping, pet cruelty and damage to their properties, by tenants of three rented houses.
A pet kitten was killed by unleashed dogs as horrified children watched, and rabbit skins were thrown in a neighbor's trees after hunting sessions. One tenant even built a shebeen in their back garden.

Brazen thieves are targeting jeeps parked at family homes in south County Leitrim in the latest car parts scam sweeping the North West.
Carrick-on-Shannon Gardaí (police) are investigating the theft of catalytic converters from two jeeps parked at a home in the Cloone area two weeks ago.
Criminals are mainly targeting vehicles with a high ground clearance such as jeeps or M.P.V.s.
The extra clearance means that thieves can quickly climb under the vehicle without having to utilize a jack, cutting the pipes and removing the exhaust parts in a matter of minutes.

The stars and stripes were fluttering proudly above the town of Bruff last week as the local community prepares to welcome home one of their own, the daughter of J.F.K., Caroline Kennedy.
Ms. Kennedy, along with her husband Edwin Schlossberg, their three children and other members of the extended Kennedy family – including her cousin Sydney Lawford, visited the historic town last Friday. Painters were perched on two cherry pickers for most of the week, diligently working away on freshening up the appearance of the houses and shop fronts along the town's main street.
The paint was barely dry on Glynn's Traditional Fish and Chips, the Old Bank B&B and Margaret Howard's Pub by the time Caroline arrived in the town at lunchtime on Friday.

Business people were up in arms in Ballymahon last week over the increase in casual traders descending upon the town.
Locals claim that businesses in the south Longford town are feeling the pinch as a direct result of the trading, and members of the Ballymahon Traders' Association claim that casual traders are using valuable car parking spaces from which to sell their wares.
"The major problem is that they are taking approximately 15-17 car spaces away from shoppers with their stalls," Paddy Diffley of Ballymahon Traders' Association fumed. "Then they park the vans on the opposite side of the road and take up more space."

A vehicle testing firm found guilty of breaching health and safety law in relation to the testing of a school bus, which was involved in a fatal crash, will be sentenced next month.
At a sentence hearing on Monday, June 17, the prosecution requested that the matter be put back to give them time to look into the accounts of the company.
The bus went out of control on a bog road just outside Clara, County Offaly on April 4, 2006 after the rear drive axle came off. Schoolboy Michael White (15) died as a result of "catastrophic injuries" suffered during the crash.

A "suicidal" Strokestown man was turned away from the psychiatric unit at Roscommon County Hospital two weekends ago as the unit was closed to admissions. The man and his wife contacted the Roscommon Herald to tell their story and express their fury. The man, who has been engaging with the services at the unit since January and took an overdose just three weeks ago, begged to be admitted to the unit, but was turned away.
"I am suicidal, I feel I cannot cope with life and I badly need help, but nobody is willing to help me. I can't explain how upset I was to be told that I couldn't get a bed in the psychiatric unit. There are spare beds in that unit. I saw that for myself but because there isn't enough staff I was told to go away," he said.
Just two weeks ago the man was rushed by ambulance from his home to the A&E Department in Sligo after taking an overdose.

Minister for State at the Department of Transport Alan Kelly has announced details of $40,000 seed-funding for the development of a County Leitrim Greenway.
Leitrim County Council has plans to develop a world-class greenway along the length of what were the Sligo, Leitrim and Northern Counties Railways. While it stands alone, this project compliments a similar proposal submitted by Sligo County Council. The joint proposal would see the proposed route being developed from Collooney to Ballintogher in Co. Sligo travelling through Co. Leitrim, adjacent to Dromahair, Manorhamilton and Lough MacNean.

Grief and sorrow was evident on each parishioner's face as close to 1,000 people attended the funeral of Kenny (47), Shane (44) and Paul Bolger (49) at the church of St. John the Baptist in the seaside village of Crooke, Passage East on Saturday afternoon, June 15.
They gathered on the street and inside the grounds of the church to bid a final farewell to their beloved friends.

An unhappy Clr. Mick Dollard made clear his displeasure at the lack of funds to landscape a green space at the bottom of Dalton Park, during the June meeting of Mullingar Town Council.
"This matter was referred to Westmeath County Council's Housing Section and unfortunately there is no funding available at the present time to carry out this work," noted a written reply from the council.
However, a solution may come in the form of the development of the Robinstown Sports and Education Campus, the Labour Party councilor was told.

Hi there. I'm a journalist in the UK and i'm hoping that you can help me with a feature that i've been asked to write.
I write for a number of top women's magazine titles and i'm looking for people to share their experiences of being asexual in a positive and
proactive feature.
Would it be possible to put the word out that i'm looking for people to feature? I can guarentee a fee of at least £300 - £600 for anyone who
features in an article and i will give them a read through to make sure that they are happy with the copy.
I think that it is important to bring asexuality into mainstream consciousness and i'm hoping i can at least make a contribution towards
achieving this with your help.
If you are willing and able to help please contact me on 07828207189 or at the email address at the top of the form (email@example.com). I would also be more than happy to answer any questions you have.
Many thanks for you time and i hope to hear from you soon.
Kindest Regards
