As Heroes' Matt Parkman, Greg Grunberg can control people's minds and create fantastical realities in their heads. But the progress Grunberg's son has made in his battle to overcome epilepsy is no fantasy at all.
Grunberg's 12-year-old son, Jake, has lived with the struggles and seizures epilepsy causes, but thanks to a recent brain surgery, he is showing massive signs of improvement.
"He's doing really well," Grunberg tells TVGuide.com. "You don't try brain surgery until you've basically run out of medicine. There are so many things you try before you get to removing a piece of his brain. But they saved his life."
Grunberg says surgery became an alternative when doctors were able to pinpoint the area of the brain with the most epilepsy activity. Now, he says his son is "90 percent better" and that he is hopeful for his future. "He's living a normal life — he's not seizure-free, but he's back doing what a normal kid would do," he says. "I'd love to see Jake not have epilepsy for the majority of his life, and I think that's going to happen with what they're doing."
The actor also says his experience with his son has inevitably informed his acting, as this week Parkman met a son he never knew he even had. "That was an amazing moment for me to play," he says. "We went through a really tough year. When you go through anything tough like Parkman is going through — he doesn't care about living or dying; he just wanted revenge on this guy who basically ruined the last thing that was good in his life — and you get to the darkest place, look what happens. There's a baby that is mine. That gives you hope to live and fight."
Grunberg has also founded TalkAboutIt.org, a website dedicated to informing the public about epilepsy and providing a place for those affected by it to share their stories. "It's like the MySpace of likeminded people that are dealing with this," he says.
With the help of co-stars and friends like Milo Ventimiglia, Zachary Quinto, Jennifer Garner and Jack Black, Grunberg says he hopes to encourage people to face the disease rather than be afraid of it. "It gets the conversation going about epilepsy without it being scary. It's a huge deal, and for there to be a stigma attached to it for so long, and for people to be afraid to talk about it, it's a shame. We talk about AIDS, and we talk about cancer, and we're willing to give money to research [for those diseases]. That's what I'm hoping for epilepsy."
Grunberg spends much of his time raising money for multiple charities as a part of Band from TV. Their next gig is Heroes for Autism, an event where artwork and photos taken from the set by Heroes' cast and crew will be auctioned off for Autism Speaks. Grunberg also revealed to TVGuide.com exclusively that the band will be joined by a very special guest on stage.
"Rainn Wilson is going to be hosting, and he's going to play a song with our band," Grunberg says. "So you've got Hugh Laurie, James Denton, me, Bob Guiney, Jesse Spencer, Adrian Pasdar and now Rainn Wilson all on stage playing music for a great cause. It's selfish, because I'm having a great time, and get to pretend to be a rock star, but all the proceeds go to charity."
Between acting and all his side projects, Grunberg still remains dedicated to his fans via his website and Twitter account. (You can follow TVGuide.com on Twitter too!) Despite causing a flurry of rumors about a possible Heroes cancellation, Grunberg says he isn't "going to hold back."
"It has connected me with the fans," he said. "After last night's episode, I got so many Twitters. It's like hearing from your mom. These people are following me, so they obviously like what I do, but it's so nice to get that support."

MoRUS helps improve the East Village's remaining 39 community gardens by arranging work days, remediating soil, clearing rubble, preparing earth for gardening, planting fruits, vegetables, and herbs, building and improving infrastructure such as sinks, stages, and gazebos, and composting food waste. We also hold workshops on topics such as soil treatments and composting.
We are planning projects to create better documentation of the history of the gardens and the activists who created them and ways to improve the transfer of knowledge between gardens. We are also proposing specific work on those gardens that were flooded by Hurricane Sandy, since the flood water contained bacteria, sewage, gasoline, PCBs, oil, feces, industrial solvents, and heavy metals, as described in a New York Times article published December 26, 2012, "Getting the Dirt on Hurricane Sandy."
Providing places for people to garden has been an innovative strategy to improve American urban conditions since the 1890s when the movement began in New York and Detroit. Many kinds of community gardens came into existence at different times, often associated with times of social and economic change, as described by Laura Lawson in her book City Bountiful: A Century of Community Gardening in America (2005).
New York's community gardens are unique and important historical artifacts as well as critical parts of our urban landscape. Several hundred community gardens previously existed in New York City. Many of them were created in the 1970s, when landlords abandoned their buildings, which ended up burnt out and were torn down. Because landlords failed to pay taxes on them, they reverted to the city. Community members mobilized to turn the vacant lots, filled with rubble and other debris, into vibrant gardens and parks. Over the years, however, many of the gardens were taken over by developers, although in 2002 the Parks Department temporarily protected them by taking nominal ownership over the remaining 114 gardens. Of these, 39 are located on the Lower East Side, in what is the largest concentration of such gardens found anywhere in the United States. Some blocks can boast that they have several community gardens. One can see how remarkably different this block on E. 4th Street looked in 1976 compared to today, after activists transformed it into El Jardin Del Paraiso.
Community gardens have numerous positive effects. In low-income urban areas, gardens fill a necessary gap in fresh, healthy, and affordable food. As stated in "Food for Thought: The Social Impact of Community Gardens," published in Electronic Green Journal in 2010, gardens help to make food available, sometimes generating tons of food at a fraction of the cost of supermarket produce. New studies appreciate the benefits in social service costs as well: "by staying active in the garden and practicing better nutrition with fresh produce, gardeners reduce their heart disease, type two diabetes, and obesity, saving on medical care." In addition as Grace Tankersley comments in her book Community Gardens of the East Village (2009) the gardens contribute "to the physical and psychological well being of individuals and the social cohesion of communities" as well as reduce air and water pollution and provide a lower cost alternative to formal parks.
However the City has set up new mechanisms that allow the gardens to be developed one by one. See this video The Paul Revere Ride
made by the Museum's parent organization Time's Up and these slides of the latest attempt to take over the Children's Magical Garden in May 2013.
For the nationwide community gardening movement see the American Community Gardening Association and here for guerilla gardening developments internationally. By raising local awareness of the community gardens and their histories, MoRUS will increase the Lower East Side community's utilization of these gardens in the short-term and help protect the gardens from developers in the long-term. Indeed, the success of past activists is inspiring the creation of new community gardens today!

Whenever I see a movie trailer with a handful of my favourite actors working together, I start to get chills at the thought of witnessing cinematic genius. From our favourite leading ladies Jennifer Lawrence and Meryl Streep to our Hollywood crushes George Clooney and Benedict Cumberbatch (my personal fave!), it's like these films are coming out just in time to provide movie geeks the perfect Christmas gift.
Here are some films and their amazing cast of actors you should keep an eye out for.
August: Osage County
With an all-star ensemble featuring the likes of Meryl Streep, Julia Roberts, Ewan McGregor and Juliette Lewis, August: Osage County takes a look at the lives of women whose paths have separated until a family tragedy brings them back to their childhood home and to the mother (played by a fabulously sassy Streep) who raised them. This film is based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning play of the same name by Tracy Letts. With Academy favourites Streep and Roberts headlining, we're sure watching this film is going to be one heck of an emotional whirlwind.
P.S. Can I just say that I was already signed up for this when I saw Benedict Cumberbatch? This man can do no wrong!
The film comes out December 25th.
American Hustle
If there's one thing for certain: David O. Russell sure knows how to pick his actors. In his new film American Hustle, the movie has Christian Bale portraying a con man forced to help a federal agent (Bradley Cooper) turn against other cons, mobsters and politicians.
Having helped Jennifer Lawrence and Bale win Oscars while providing Academy-nominated performances to the likes of Amy Adams and Cooper, Russell looks to be ON FIRE once again. With all four of these actors returning to work with Russell, I'd be lying if I said this didn't look like an unstoppable cast.
P.S. Give Amy Adams that Oscar already!!
The film comes out December 25th.
The Monuments Men
Say what you will about George Clooney. But as swoon-worthy as he is, one can't deny that he has the acting, writing and directing chops to back his A-list status up.
In the upcoming The Monuments Men, Clooney is the co-writer, director and star of this historically-based adventure film that surrounds a crew of art historians and museum curators recovering famous pieces of art stolen by the Nazis before Adolf Hitler destroys them.
While based on true events, this movie that also stars Cate Blanchett, Matt Damon, Bill Murray and Jean Dujardin looks like an absolute blast. While the tone definitely seems serious, you can tell it isn't without its funny moments. If the last scene in the trailer is any indication of this movie's quirks and quips, then you can probably turn to comedic greats like Murray and John Goodman to provide some charm.
P.S. Doesn't the tone of this film sorta remind you of a mix between Inglorious Basterds, Ocean's 11 and a little bit of Argo?
The film comes out December 18th.

Yggdrasil Gaming, which is a development studio arm of Cherry, has added to its catalogue of online slot games with the release of its latest poker machine title – Big Blox.
Built with HTML5 coding, the new slot includes an array of promotional tools, BOOST, and the recently arrived BRAG tool, which allows customers to watch replays of reel spins and share them with their friends on social media.
Framed in an Aztec temple which is located deep within a rainforest, the Big Blox slot offers gamers the chance to win with just a single spin, without having to game in the bonus or free spin rounds for prize gaining opportunity.
During each spin of the slots reels, a block of at least 2 times 2 of identical symbols will appear on the playing screen.
This block of symbols can increase in size to up to 5 times 3 symbols, and in effect cover the entire game playing area, and in the process paying out rewards of up to 3,888 times the wagers size.
With up to 243 different ways to win on Big Blox, players have the chance to score up to €486,000 in prizes for a single spin and their efforts. The company is also renowned for Red Bus Bingo and other sites like Wink Bingo.
Comment From Yggdrasil Gaming
Mr Jonas Strandman, who acts in the role of Product Owner for Games at Yggdrasil Gaming, says Big Blox's combination of mechanics, soundtrack and visuals will make it a joy to play for prospective slot spinners.
Each roll of the reels will tease the player with the chance to unleash a 'blox' of identical symbols which will grow to cover the entire gaming screen, with a good win never far away during the action.
When combined with the promise of extraordinary pay-outs courtesy of the game's 243 ways to win, Mr Strandman is confident that Big Blox will keep players engaged and excited as they continue to roll the games reels.

Guitar Practice Buddy is aimed at beginners that want to get used to switching between different notes. It puts you in control of your learning curve, so you can speed up the time between notes at your own pace as you become more comfortable. Please press the Menu button on your device to set up the preferences when you first run Guitar Practice Buddy. There is a "Song Mode" in the preferences to enable you to practice switching between chords in a certain sequence but by default Guitar Practice Buddy will generate a random combination of the notes you entered. The aim of Guitar Practice Buddy is to play the notes as they turn green. Touch the screen (or spacebar on non touch screen devices) to begin, resume or pause a lesson at any time. Press menu to change the time between notes, number of seconds (which will determine how many notes are displayed on the screen) and the amount of time you'd like to practice for. Please note: It does not show you how to play notes, there are plenty of apps that already do that. It does not play any sounds either. I'd love to hear from you, so please feel free to email me. Suggestions, complaints and feature requests are all welcome. This app only needs one permission and that's to prevent the phone from sleeping during your practice time. Recent changes: App rename, hopefully it'll minimize the amount of people downloading the app and expecting it to do things it says it doesn't do in the description. Content rating: Everyone

The Los Angeles Lakers' coaching change situation that took place a little over a week ago was about as bizarre as it gets. The fact that it occurred just a handful of games into the regular season made it even stranger. As you know, the Lakers eventually settled on Mike D'Antoni as their next head coach after firing Mike Brown. Whether D'Antoni was the right choice or not, Boston Celtics coach Doc Rivers feels that the Lakers disrespected Phil Jackson. "I didn't like the way it was done," Rivers told Chris Russo of SiriusXM Radio's Mad Dog Radio, via the L.A. Times. "I don't think you embarrass anybody. "Whether you like Phil or not, he's won a lot of titles and I think he was owed more than that treatment, in my opinion, especially (from) that franchise." Lakers GM Mitch Kupchak recently said the decision to go with D'Antoni over Jackson was strictly a "basketball decision." There's nothing wrong with that, but like a lot of others Rivers feels that the Lakers were wrong to essentially offer the job to Jackson and then rescind their offer when he accepted. As Kurt Helin of Pro Basketball Talk mentioned, Kupchak basically confirmed that the Lakers never expected Jackson to accept the offer since he made it quite clear he was done coaching basketball. They had to make the offer to appease Lakers fans, but the situation got sticky when Jackson agreed to come out of retirement and owner Jim Buss was already set on D'Antoni being his guy. Even D'Antoni admitted he was stunned he got the job, which is all part of the embarrassment for Jackson that Rivers is referring to.

Sunday morning brought a nicer 6-12 knot breeze. More inconsistent, but thankfully the gusts were large enough to allow for the whole fleet to foil, even Colin Spence! The top mark was placed further to the left and more inside the bay, meaning that the top of the course was often dead calm and very difficult to negotiate. The importance of overshooting the mark and coming in on the foils was paramount and John did this very thing to pass Scott at the top mark in the first race. With some lucky gusts going downwind, Scott got back in front, only to prove being a slow learner and fall victim to Phil pulling the same trick as John.
Again, good fortune downwind and the odd gybe to stay with the pressure saw Scott get back in front. With so many other classes around, the racing became just dodging the other boats and trying to find some pressure, with little or no attention being paid to each other until we were in each other's faces. Special mention has to go to Colin for sticking with the racing, even though he spent most of the time low riding. It's important that the class take part in all conditions so that we are taken seriously. The morning session ended with Scott taking three wins, with Phil getting two seconds and third and John two thirds and a second. Colin managed to finish each race to take fourth.
Sunday afternoon saw a nice 15-20 knot sea breeze fill in. While glamorous Mothing conditions, there were far too many close calls at lower speeds in the morning, so the prospect of doing it all again at 20+ knots was a terrifying thought. Instead we packed up early and took advantage of the free sausage sizzle and beer. All in all, a successful weekend's racing. With the amount of kids out there drooling as we zipped past up and down the course, fingers crossed for some new Moth recruits soon.
Big thank you to RFBYC for being so accommodating to the class and including us in an excellent event. Hopefully next year we can get more boats!

Henriquez Gets Off the Mark
Over at the DW Stadium, one of our youngsters made his mark on Saturday.
Having decided to go on loan to Wigan Athletic, rather than participate in some international youth tournament, Angelo Henriquez provided a glimpse of what he can offer, even though he`s still a teenager.
Although Wigan lost to Sunderland, by the odd goal in five, Henriquez scored his first Premier League goal, hopefully, the first of many as his career blossoms in England.

Devan was incredibly grateful for the men who were there for John. There was no way she'd be able to do this on her own and she knew John, in the state that he was in, would be no help. She hurried to the elevator, pushing the button. Then, she slipped inside when the doors opened.7/15/2012 #421
|Thee Cult of Personality
Barri helped John into the elevator,looking at Devan.He sighed roughly.7/15/2012 #422
Devan pushed the botton for their floor and waited for the elevator to bring them up. She glanced at John, wondering what might be going through his dazed throughts at the moment.7/15/2012 #423
|Thee Cult of Personality
John looked at her,giving a dazed grin.7/15/2012 #424
Devan returned his smile, then turned to look at Barri and Ted. "Would you two do me a favor? Would you tell whoever has the next wrestling match with Stephen to beat him snotless? Even an injury would be nice. Just whatever they can do."7/16/2012 #425
|Thee Cult of Personality
"I think Randal's got him next."Ted said,with a nod.
"Randy'll pull out all the stops,if you ask him to."Barri said.7/16/2012 #426
"Perfect. Ask him to take him down for me." Devan glared at the floor, remembering the previous night. Why had she ever let Stephen kiss her? She regretted that all the more now. She should have known that things would get physical between a pair of wrestlers. She just wished she had the muscle to hurt Stephen herself instead of having to ask one of the other wrestlers to do it for her.7/16/2012 #427
|Thee Cult of Personality
"You could ask him yourself."Barri said,with a shrug."He'd probably do more,coming from you."
Ted patted her back."Don't worry,backstage buddy.Everything'll be fine."7/16/2012 #428
"Right." Devan offered Ted a small smile as the elevator door slid to a stop. The doors slid open and she led the way down to her and John's room, pulling out her room key. She opened the door and walked in, holding the door open so Barri could carry John in and Ted could hobble inside.7/16/2012 #429
|Thee Cult of Personality
"Thanks,Red."Barri said,giving a nod.He helped John over to the bed,sitting him down against the pillows. Ted grinned at her,before he hobbled inside.He went to the mini-fridge,drinking a beer.7/16/2012 #430
"Are you sure putting him down on the bed is the best idea?" Devan asked, following Barri into the room. "He really shouldn't fall asleep."7/16/2012 #431
|Thee Cult of Personality
"Where do you think we should put him?"Barri asked,raising an eyebrow.7/16/2012 #432
Devan hesitated. "I don't know," she admitted. "Maybe the couch? A chair from the table? Just not the bed."7/16/2012 #433
|Thee Cult of Personality
Barri nodded.He picked John up by the arm,again,who whimpered.He moved him to the table,sitting him down.7/16/2012 #434
"I'm sorry, babe, but it's got to be done," Devan apologized, following Barri once again. "Thank you two so much for everything," she sighed to Ted and Barri. "You've been so helpful."7/16/2012 #435

"It's no problem."Barri said,with a shrug.Ted threw a thumbs up.7/16/2012 #436
Devan smiled and plopped down in a chair beside John. She leaned back and closed her eyes for a moment. It may have only been the afternoon, but she was already exhausted from all her worrying. No sleep for her, though. She had to stay up with John. She opened her eyes again and gave John a smile. "How are you feeling?"7/17/2012 #437
|Thee Cult of Personality
"Tired."John said,sleepily.He propped his head on his hand,blue eyes half closed.Barri patted his back,heading out.7/17/2012 #438
Devan shot Barri a final appreciative smile before she returned her eyes to John. "Alright, then, let's see what we can do about that. What's something that always keeps you awake?"7/17/2012 #439
|Thee Cult of Personality
"Sex."John waggled his eyebrows at her.
"Not while I'm here!"Ted said,quickly,raising an eyebrow.7/17/2012 #440
Devan laughed and scooted forward, wrapping her arms around John. "Sorry babe, but we have a guest. Besides, I want you to be feeling your best for that." She pulled away, then winked at him.7/17/2012 #441
|Thee Cult of Personality
John grumbled about not being able to do anything,snuggling to her.Ted rolled his eyes,sitting aross from them."We should play strip poker!"7/17/2012 #442
Devan rolled her eyes. "Thanks, but I'll have to pass on that one," she told Ted, smiling. "You and John are welcome to play, though." She laughed.7/17/2012 #443
|Thee Cult of Personality
Ted pouted,huffing.John pulled a face.7/17/2012 #444
Devan laughed and rolled her eyes. "Not today, Ted. Sorry." She grinned at John.7/17/2012 #445

"Mean."7/17/2012 #446
"How is that mean?" Devan demanded.7/17/2012 #447

"It's boring in here!"Ted said,putting his hands up."I'm being bored to death!"7/17/2012 #448
"Well, then come up with an idea that doesn't involve me taking off my clothes," Devan replied lightly. So far, sex and strip poker had been the two ideas suggested. She couldn't blame them, as they were men after all. However, the situation really didn't call for those kinds of activities.7/17/2012 #449
|Thee Cult of Personality
"We could drink."Ted said,slapping his hand down on the table."And then,play strip poker."
"Let it go."John muttered.7/17/2012 #450

Topic: Gifts (of the Spirit or service) (11/22/07)
TITLE: Help a Fellow Flower Grow
By Brenda Welc
Yes, in some aspects it would seem as if many of the listed gifts apply to you, however one is most likely to prevail. I personally have the gift of mercy for others. I am able to see through the inabilities of people and see their true purpose. I am able to accept people for whom they are, not what others want them to become. When others are demolishing someone's self-esteem, I am able to speak to both parties involved and begin a healing process. When someone's eyes are opened to what they are actually doing to another person it starts a seed in their soul. Hopefully the person will listen to God's will and the seed will be nurtured thus changing attitudes and atmospheres.
Using our spiritual gifts wisely takes discernment. Sometimes people are just not ready to change or accept their ways are not right. We need to decide when to make our move in the spirit. Listen to God. He will let you know when the timing is just right. Moving in the spirit comes natural to us who have been instructed by our pastors on how to move. Can you imagine the difference we could make as the body of Christ if we all learned how to accept and use our gifts? Right now there is someone who needs direction in their life and with the right words and encouragement it could happen just by using the gifts God gave us.
Just as a flower depends on nature to grow, we must depend on God to do the same. There are many things in action to make flowers grow: the planting of the seed, the watering, the sunlight, the weeding and the nurturing. All of these things could be applied to the spiritual gifts. Without all of this working together the flower would wilt and fade into emptiness without anyone noticing. On the other hand if the flower matures, it will be able to share its' good news with others and spread pollen to those who need it. Its' pollen would be the gift God gave to the flower. As you can see, by being the flower we were meant to be we can change the world for God. We can nurture others and share the good news, spread our pollen if you will.
I challenge you to discover your spiritual gift today. Research it. Ask God to help you nurture it. Learn how to share it with others before we lose any more flowers to neglect. Together we can create a bouquet of flowers to share with the world. Together we can spread our pollen to the furthest corners of the earth. As one body of Christ using our spiritual gifts as we should we can accomplish all things for Him. Will you water a fellow flower today? Pour out your spiritual gift on someone and make a difference. God loves the sweet smell of success.

I came up with the name PungoBox one day. Pungo means move in Latin, so it seemed like a good fit. I told my cousin, Bob, who co-founded the company with me, and he thought I said BungoBox. Turns out, we liked that name even better and it stuck. We wanted a name that would become synonymous with moving box rental. We were looking for something unique, something memorable. Trademarks were available, domain names were available. We got to create a really snarky brand, and nobody has a preconceived notion about it, so we get to define what it means.

In 2003, OCTA adopted a toll policy for the 91 Express Lanes based on the concept of congestion management pricing. The policy is designed to optimize 91 Express Lanes traffic flow at free-flow speeds. To accomplish this, hourly traffic volumes in the 91 Express Lanes are continually monitored. Once the hourly traffic volumes are consistently too heavy and there is the potential for traffic congestion, a rate adjustment is made.
Recent customer surveys indicate that 91 Express Lanes users lead busy lives with many hours dedicated to commuting to and from their jobs and for recreational purposes, such as shopping and visiting friends and family. Customers emphasize they value a fast, safe, reliable commute and the toll policy strategy is designed to support this value.
To implement the toll policy, OCTA monitors hourly traffic volumes. Tolls are adjusted when traffic volumes consistently reach a trigger point where traffic flow can become unstable. These are known as "super peak" hours. Given the capacity constraints during these hours, pricing is used to manage demand. Once an hourly toll is adjusted, it is frozen for six months. This approach balances traffic engineering with good public policy. Other (non-super peak) toll prices are adjusted annually by inflation.
The toll policy goals are to:
The effect of the toll policy has been an increase in customer usage with sufficient revenue to pay all expenses and also to provide seed funding for general freeway improvements. Revenues generated by the toll lanes stay on the SR-91 corridor – a significant departure from past practices. Under the previous owner's agreement with Caltrans, a "non-compete" provision restricted adding more capacity to the SR-91 corridor until 2030. When OCTA purchased the lanes, it opened the door for new improvements on SR-91 by eliminating the non-compete provision.
As tolls change, OCTA notifies customers in advance via on-road variable message signs, website and e-mail updates. If you would like e-mail notification of future changes and your e-mail address is not on file with us, please contact the 91 Express Lanes Customer Service Center at (951) 278-9191 or go to "My Account: Update Account Information" to submit your e-mail address. If you have any questions, please contact the 91 Express Lanes Customer Service Center.
On May 19, 2003, OCTA adopted the "Three Ride Free" policy. This innovative policy encourages carpooling by allowing a group of three or more commuters per vehicle to travel the 91 Express Lanes for free during most hours, except when traveling eastbound, Monday through Friday between the hours of 4:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m. At these times, carpools of three or more can still save money by earning a 50 percent discount on the posted toll.

Re: RE: Fed up with this....by Info dude (no login)
Where did I threaten anyone? exactly.
You can say Buckley gets lucky, but your wrong. Being that he's been the leading scorer in everblades history, what does that say for the rest of the players? are they horrible too?...
Nobody on this team does any checking, never have, so Buckley not hitting anyone isn't anything new.

The... interesting premise, the great reviews it's been getting, and the fact that it's directed by Guillermo del Toro all have me very interested in this.IMDb wrote:An other-worldly fairy tale, set against the backdrop of Cold War era America circa 1962. In the hidden high-security government laboratory where she works, lonely Elisa (Sally Hawkins) is trapped in a life of isolation. Elisa's life is changed forever when she and co-worker Zelda (Octavia Spencer) discover a secret classified experiment.

Quilt socializing.

- On 13 Nov | '2009
Another successful meeting of the L.A. Modern Quilt Guild earlier this week! We have so much fun.
We had an amazing quilt show & tell.
Wendy & her mother made this quilt together, and started it at the Denyse Schmidt improv. piecing workshop that they took together. Isn't it beautiful? There are a couple of other members of the guild who have also taken this workshop and I'm green with envy!
There were so many other beautiful quilts. Click on over to the flickr group to see them all.
And there was some frenzied fabric swapping!
I tell you, there's nothing like getting together with 30 or so other people who understand the obsession! We are just getting started but I know that big things are in store for the guild. Workshops, speakers, more swaps, field trips… we're gonna do it all! So if you're local and haven't joined us yet, please do! And if you're not local, we hope you'll visit us if you're in the LA area. Or start a modern guild of your own! We'd love to be a united nation organization some day. Why not think big, right?
November 13, 2009 at 9:00 am |
looks like lots of fun.. i'll be sure to see if you guys have anything planned when i have my trips to LA!
November 13, 2009 at 9:21 am |
I am not part of the local quilt guild, but I definitely would join a "modern quilt guild." Maybe I SHOULD start one here. Fabric swapping frenzy. Sounds fabulous.
November 13, 2009 at 10:59 am |
Looks like the 2nd meeting was a huge success!
November 13, 2009 at 12:59 pm |
Sounds fabulous! I love the idea of a Modern Quilt Guild and would definitely join one if it existed in Vancouver, BC, Canada!
November 13, 2009 at 4:50 pm |
What a fabulous time!! It looks like tons of fun!
November 14, 2009 at 8:46 am |
You are so lucky to have a group of like minded quilters that you can actually meet with in the flesh!
(and I am a bit green with envy, too!)
November 14, 2009 at 9:25 pm |
oh my gosh, i was in the la area this weekend. if only i could have gotten away for this….ohhhhh my.
November 14, 2009 at 10:38 pm |
Oh, what beautiful quilts. I had a few quilts in a quilt sale on the weekend. When I went for a look at the other work mine def stood out as being in the "modern" range.
Maybe I can get a Modern Quilt Guild started here. Though I'm not much one for starting group.
November 15, 2009 at 3:45 pm |
I had a blast at the meeting!
November 16, 2009 at 7:53 am |
What a great evening! Lovely fabric and quilts!!
I might be down in L.A. in late January, and if I am you can bet I will come to one of your events!!
And… if maybe we can talk about making this an international guild?! I live in Toronto and we don't have a Modern Quilt Guild but I would sure love to be a part of one, so maybe I can start your sister organization?
November 16, 2009 at 8:39 am |
Good for you for doing this! It is wonderful to see.

One of my all time favourite makeup looks is a smokey eye... and luckily there are many ways in which you can wear a smokey eye. If you are not comfortable with the dramatic look of a smokey eye, then I recommend that you start first with incorporating some purples into your makeup routine. It is an easy way to have some colour on your face without people mistaking you for a... a woman ...working... on the streets... you know what I mean ;)
So here is how I created this wearable purple smokey eye.
First Step: I applied my Two Faced Shadow Insurance eye primer all over my eyelid. I then applied MAC's Hyperviolet Paint Pot over top of the primer. ( I wanted the purple paint pot to be a good base for my purple eye shadows)
Second Step: I applied MAC's Pink Opal on to the inner half of my eyelid, and blended. Then I took MAC's Top Hat (an oldie but a goodie) and applied it to the outer half of my eyelid and blended it to mix with the Pink Opal pigment. I took MAC's Wedge eyeshadow and blended it into my crease, so I could give the edges of the purples a soft defused effect. * Blend Blend Blend*
Third Step: I took MAC's Feline Eye Pencil and applied to the top and bottom lashes, then used my ring finger and a brush to smudge it out. For the bottom lash line, I applied Top Hat on top of the black pencil. The apply some mascara! Before I applied my lashes, I took MAC's Phloof! shadow and applied it just under my brow bone as my highlight. For extra an extra highlighting effect, I took MAC's Vellum shadow ( remember that good one?) and applied it just in the inner corner of my eye. Really makes the purple stand out because Vellum was a white frost with a iridescent purple tone to it.
Fourth Step: LASHES! I applied some dramatic Velour Lashes (I forgot the name) that I got at the IMATS last year. To finish the look, I swept on some of MAC's Pink Swoon Blush then moved on to my lips.
Fifth Step: Finally, the perfect lip for a smokey eye... the nude lip. I took MAC's Absolutely It Lip Pencil and filled in my lips with it, then took MAC's To the Future Lipstick and applied it on top of the liner. And to finish my lips, I applied MAC's Girl♥Boy Plushglass.
And I'm done.

The Google music event on Wednesday looks like a launch of the Google Music service and Google MP3 store, and the odds favor the inclusion of features like the Google+ social network and the Google Music Beta which launched earlier this year. A "Special event" invite has already been sent out for an event in Los Angeles, titled "These Go to Eleven" in a nod to the famous line from the movie Spinal Tap. Can you hear the sustain?
There's no finalized deal yet with Warner Music Group, Sony Music Entertainment and EMI, so at this point they'll probably be launch without a licensing agreement or announcing at Wednesday's event who's onboard. Back in October, the news of Google being in negotiation with both major labels and independent recording labels appeared online, saying that Google was working towards deals on selling content for a Google Music Store. Right now, CNET says that "Google has signed a licensing agreement for the new service with Universal Music Group but does not have deals in place with Sony Music Entertainment or Warner Music Group, according to multiple industry sources." Meanwhile AllThingsD says that EMI Music and Universal is onboard, but Warner Music Group is on the sidelines. The recent news of the EMI / Universal Music deal supports this theory.
Check out more about steaming music sites in the Spacelab Streaming Music Guide.
There's been a lot of activity with the Google Music player in recent weeks, with the Google Music 4 app for Android being leaked in advance of their Android ICS Launch, which unveiled Ice Cream Sandwich features for the new Nexus-branded handset, sometimes called Nexus Prime or Galaxy Nexus. They quietly released the Google Music player in iOS for iPhone and iPad back in September, as an online music app that was a browser-based, cloud music HTML thing. This means you can just go http://music.google.com/ in your Apple mobile device and access all of your music library. Last week, Google rolled out a new Google+ feature, allowing users to access YouTube videos via a YouTube icon on their Google+ page to create a YouTube playlist for their Google+ profile. It allows sharing of the Youtube videos via the Google+ Circles feature.
So set your clocks, calendars and smart phones for Wednesday, the day that the Google launches the MP3 Store with new music manager features for users.

Idiot's Guide talks about Stretchy People, announces The First Idiot's Guide Contest and reviews I Kill Giants! Plus news, comics, and more!
Welcome to a weekly column summarizing the good, the bad and the ugly that occurred throughout the week in comics. With fifty billion websites covering all the minutia of the comic industry and dozens of comics hitting the shelves, it's about time that someone has the stones to take it all in and regurgitate it like a mother bird to her chicks. Idiot's Guide Weekly will cover pertinent news, the best and worst comics of the week, and anything else worth mentioning in a jovial and mocking manner. So enjoy it while it's fresh: Idiot's Guide Weekly aims to please.
The News:
Top News Story of the Week: Anne Hathaway will be Catwoman in the upcoming Dark Knight Rises film. Here's the formula for jokes on the subject:
Anne Hathaway + Rises + (Pants, Christian Bale, Two Thumbs Up, anything else involved with the Nolan Batman trilogy) = Easy hilarious comment*
*A caveat to the above formula: Saying that Anne Hathaway's casting will make Heath Ledger rise from the dead is an unfortunate option in the above formula, thus proving its imperfection. Making that comment in conversation will only lead to awkward stares, a head shake or two, and the bartender cutting you off saying that you've had too much to drink. You've been warned.
We have X-Men: First Class photos ! Unlike last week's images of the three other Marvel movies coming out in the near future, this was so bad, the director, Matthew Vaughan threw a hissy fit and released two more stills this time featuring young Magneto threatening to bitchslap a young Xavier if he doesn't stop looking like a grade A tool .
Marvel and DC both released monthly solicitations for the month of April. Surprises include Nick Spencer writing Secret Avengers 12.1 and the realization that Cullen Bunn (the best writer you've probably never heard of) is writing a four-part arc for Superman/Batman, the third of which comes out in April. Also, what's not to love about nuns with guns?
Idiot's Guide Reviews...I Kill Giants:
I was hoping that my copy of Blacksad would come in by today, but alas it didn't. Instead, I got my long awaited copy of I Kill Giants. So here we go!
I Kill Giants is everything you could want in a comic. Touching, funny, serious and compelling all at the same time, I Kill Giants is easily one of the finest miniseries I have ever read. Upon reading this book, I built a time machine to 2008 and punched my past self for not picking up this book sooner.
An Idiot's (Short) Comparison of Stretchy People in Comics:
With Fantastic Four #587 coming on next week and promising death and destruction on one of the members of the Fantastic Four, I figured it'd be a good idea to quickly rundown the various stretchy folks running around in the Marvel and DC universes.
Mr. Fantastic: Reed Richards is the dumbest person in the Marvel Universe. Super-smart, he convinced his best friend, his girlfriend and her brother to join him on a little trip to space in a space rocket insufficiently shielded for space radiation. Shockingly, the trip didn't go well. Reed Richards claims to be one of the smartest people in the universe, yet he's allowed a being that has tried to munch on Earth multiple times to go free, decided that it was good idea to build a prison in an alternate dimension that he knows to be hostile AND hoards countless technologies in his lab to keep society in a backwater age. No wonder his wife goes behind his back to bang a fish man and his children look nothing like him.
Plastic Man: Patrick O'Brian is one of the dumbest people in the DC Universe. He felt into a vat of plastic and came out all stretchy. He can change his shape to just about anything, meaning he'd be half useful if not for the fact he's so freakin' annoying. How annoying is he? Batman probably started his database of how to kill his fellow superheroes just to find a way to shut him up. This character basically exists so that writers can pen the Stretch Armstrong stories they came up with as kids
Elongated Man: Ralph Dibny was one smart dude. He figured out that drinking a soda could make him stretchy. He was a detective who even Batman respected. He used his superhero status to pick up a smart, funny, and rich wife. He was likable enough to be friends with most of the Justice League and managed to get his non-powered wife a JLA membership too. Dibny was basically the Dick Van Dyke of the DC Universe. The only thing Ralph Dibny ever did wrong was that he was so popular with the heroes, DC decided to off him and his wife to usher in an age of gritty, dark "real" comics. This age of realism in comics has included separate invasions of earth by an evil god and the embodiment of Death invade Earth which resulted in a drastic decline in the population and a drastic increase in insurance premiums.
So to summarize: Plastic Man: Annoying yet alive. Elongated Man: Cool but dead. Mr. Fantastic: Douche and hopefully dead as of Next Tuesday .
Idiot's Guide Contest: Count and Catalog the Ducks
Announcing the first in a monthly series of contests designed to test the skills and knowledge of the readers. The winner (or winners) will be named next week and be entered into the First Idiot's Guide Trade Giveaway, with the winner to be announced in March.
Below is a image from this week's Darkwing Duck #8. Can you figure out how many Darkwing Ducks are on page and what comic characters or TV shows they spoof? Points will be given out for correctly guessing the number as well as naming the characters the Darkwings were based off of. A larger picture of the page will be made available in the forum thread.
The Comics:
Moment of the Week: Striker, Hazmat, and Veil beat the tar out of the depowered Hood and make him apologize on camera (Avengers Academy #8). Looks like we have three more successful graduates from the Hank Pym School of Superheroism.
Comic of the Week: Scarlet #4. Scarlet has been one of Bendis' better offerings in years. Maleev's art is phenomenal and Bendis' little narrative tricks haven't gotten old yet.
Surprise of the Week: Dungeons and Dragons #3. For a licensed comic book (which I usually despise), this has been quite a fun read. I'm sure it'd be even more enjoyable had I actually ever played a real live game of D&D.
Best Character of the Week: Puck (in Wolverine #5). The midget Canadian is now in charge of Hell. America, you're officially on notice.
Worst Character of the Week: Jade (in JLA #53). The White Entity didn't bring you back to life so you could be a bitch to all your friends. Just sayin'.
Other comics of note:
Supergirl #60: While the plot concept is cool, the writing just fails. Too much going on in one issue to really get what's going on.
Invincible Iron Man #500: The douchebaginess of Tony Stark continues. Weaponizing your children under any circumstance is just wrong.
Legion of Super-Heroes #9: I just really don't care anymore about what's going on in the book. I look forward to Gates moving to the Justice League in a few years.
Amazing Spider-Man #652: Best issue of Big Time yet. The back-up was particularly hilarious.
X-Factor #214 and X-Men: Legacy #244: Was there an editorial mandate to make all X-books this week impossible to figure out? Congrats, Marvel. You succeeded.
Darkwing Duck #8: Bowling Ball Darkwing is an expert at reverse-engineering dimensional travel. Good to know.
Hello... (New Characters)
Howard and Ginny Stark (Invincible Iron Man #500): Tony Stark's future son and granddaughter in a future ruled by the Mandarin. Too bad we will probably never hear of them again.
Julie Haye (Morning Glories #6): Not sure what Nick Spencer has in store for her, but it will probably be something awesome.
Goodbye... (Dead Characters)
Hawkman and Hawkgirl (in Brightest Day #18): Deadman dissolved them into white dust. Sure, they'll be back in two weeks, but let's enjoy their fiftieth death while we still can.
Quote of the Week: "I will teach you that it is not the weapon that matters, but the man who weilds it!" Sinestro in Green Latnern Corps #56, giving Kyle Rayner advice on how to properly date his daughter.
Everything Else (Musings and whatnot):
Talk@Newsarama, the first of the comic book forums,quietly died this week. A moment of silence for the forum that spawned us all.
The third episode of Young Justice came out this week. Watching it last night while intoxicated, I will say that I enjoyed the bulk of it but thought that the opening credits were very weak.
It was announced that the upcoming Captain America movie would be released as "The First Avenger" in certain countries, dropping the America part out of the title. Perhaps the A really does stand for France?
Next Week: Idiot's Guide waits patiently for Blacksad to arrive, interviews Wally West and announces the Idiot Guide's Book of the Month!

Sustainable Energy Development - a public policy process
A focus on policy
Governments around the world have increasingly recognised the potential socio-economic benefits from clean energy development. The benefits most often cited include reduced dependency on imported fuel, increased local manufacturing and value generation, job creation and local entrepreneurship, knowledge transfer, extended access to (clean) electricity, desalination and improved access to drinking and irrigation water. To achieve these goals and provide the conditions for feasible, viable and sustainable energy investment, the key challenge - beyond technological innovation - has proven to be policy.
Beyond investor-friendly regulation
Traditionally, however, policy considerations have focused on financial and technical aspects, mainly tailored to potential investors. Studies commissioned by donors and cooperation agencies have often viewed 'policy' as a static set of instruments, regulations and government-sponsored programs, while disregarding the importance of public policy as a process.
IDE-E's approach to renewable energy and energy efficiency deployment is based on the Public Policy Process. The approach encourages policy analysts and decision-makers to think of sustainable energy development as a continuous process of engagement between a country's government, stakeholders from different sectors, and the population.

Deer with 8 legs killed by hunter
Where man always bites dog

Problems playing this file? You might be a dope.
FOND DU LAC, Wis. - Rick Lisko hunts deer with a bow but got his most unusual one driving his truck down his mile-long driveway. The strange deer had long, spiky hair — and eight legs. "It was definitely a freak of nature," Lisko said. "I guess it's a real rarity."
He said he slowed down as the odd deer skittered across the driveway Nov. 22, but the thing ran under the truck and got hit.
When he looked at the animal, he noticed it had long, hairy legs and a head with six eyes. Later, he found what seemed to be pinchers growing from the deer's muzzle. Lisko said he also thought it had both male and female reproductive organs.
"It's a pretty weird deer," he said. "It kind of gives you the creeps when you look at it." He thought he saw the pinchers moving, as if they were functional, before the deer was hit.
Warden Doug Bilbo of the state Department of Natural Resources came to Lisko's property near Mud Lake in the town of Osceola to tag the deer.
"I have never seen anything like that in all the years that I've been working as a game warden and being a hunter myself," Bilbo said.
Lisko said he dressed out the deer and ate some of it, which he said tasted more like seafood than venison. "I ain't a big seafood lover, so I gave the rest of it to the cats."

4 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
1/4 stick unsalted butter
2 jumbo onions, sliced into half rings
2 medium green bell peppers, sliced
1 tsp. Frank Davis Sicilian Seasoning
1/2 Tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. coarse ground black pepper
1 Tbsp. minced garlic
2 lbs. Italian sausage (10-12 links average)
1/2 cup water or chicken broth
1/4 cup parsley for garnish
1 lb. whole wheat pasta, cooked al-dente
1 dozen French Pee-Wee Pistolettes, lightly toasted
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup water or chicken broth
1/4 cup skim milk
1/4 cup white wine
First, take a heavy 12' aluminum skillet and heat the olive oil and the butter together until the butter sizzles. Then, after turning the heat up to high, cook the onions and the bell peppers until they wilt and the onions begin to caramelize (turn a rich golden brown). At this point, remove the peppers and onions from the skillet and set them aside for awhile. But first, sprinkle them with the Sicilian seasoning, the salt and the pepper and fold in the minced garlic.
Next, put the same skillet back on the fire and once again turn up the flame to high. Then in order, drop in the sausage links, pour in the water, pour in the wine, and pour in the milk, combining the liquids as they are added to the pan
Then, when the stock comes to a slow bubble, reduce the heat to medium and simmer the sausages turning them frequently until no more (or at least very little) liquid remains in the pan. Rolling them over and over at this point will cause them to brown nicely.
When they're the right color, all you do then is top them with the onions and pepper just put everything together in the skillet. Then, either by flipping the pan or by using a spatula and folding the ingredients over each other a few times, nestle the sausages, onions, and peppers together, put the lid on the skillet, turn down the heat to low, and simmer the dish until it's piping hot and the flavors marry.
When you're ready to eat, either stuff a pistolette with a sausage link and a generous scoop of onions and peppers, or ladle a couple of links and a whopping portion of onions and peppers over a plate of steamy hot pasta! Garnish with a little parsley and douse with grated parmesan and you got yourself one those meals that's almost impossible to equal.
=====Chef's Notes:
1. There are a number of white wines which will work well with this dish, but I like the results I get with cocktail sherry or Chablis. Both of these produce the subtle flavor you want.
2. Be sure to use both the butter and the oil do not eliminate either one to save on fat or calories. Flavor is critical in this recipe and you need the combination of butter and olive oil to produce that flavor.
3. Don't foul up and add the garlic to the onions while the onions are cooking. The garlic needs to go in after the onions and peppers come off the fire to keep the caramelization sweet. Garlic fried down with the onions and peppers could cause the mixture to become bitter should the minced garlic become too hot and scorch.
4. Let me reiterate that both the onions and the peppers, as well as the sausages, initially are cooked uncovered in this recipe. If you cover either of them you 'sweat' them; that means you lose the beautiful rich color as well as the crispiness of the vegetables and you drive out all the moisture in the sausages.
5. This is another one of those dishes that instantly becomes no less than wonderful the next day! Oh, it's good right when it comes from the pan; but allow it to marinate in the fridge over night...!
6. It's a good idea to prick the sausages with the tip of a knife or a sharp fork before you cook them. This procedure keep the casings from popping and splattering drippings all over as they simmer. And yes if you don't have time to actually stand there at the stove and cook the sausage in a skillet, you can place them in the oven. Simply place them into a baking pan, pour enough water to cover the sausages about half way up, and bake uncovered at 375 degrees for about an hour (or until the links are a beautiful golden brown).7. For information on sausage making or to order Italian sausage in links or in bulk, talk with Pete Giovenco at 504-469-4369. If you can't find Sicilian seasoning where you shop, go to www.frankdavis.com or call 1-800-742-4231.

Bright & Cheery Easter Wreath
I just turned Pandora on to listen to while I write this post and who do they have singing? The Bee Gees.. a little Staying Alive on a Saturday night? I think so!
Speaking of staying alive… That's rather perfect for an Easter wreath, don't you agree? Spring is the time of renewal, new life and counting blessings.
Let us lighten our hearts because we know that all things are possible through Christ.
1 Peter 1:3-5 – "Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! According to his great mercy, he has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, to an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading, kept in heaven for you, who by God's power are being guarded through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time"
This wreath will brighten my door and remind me of all that I have and I will have. Happy Easter to all.
Everything for this wreath can be purchased at Walmart (2014) for less than $15. I paid about $9 – I already had the wreath form & ribbon. You can easily make your own flat wreath form from a heavy piece of cardboard. You can also use a Styrofoam wreath.
Bright & Cheery Easter Wreath
Gather Your Supplies…
SUPPLY LIST: 3 Flower Picks – 3 Decorative Glitter Butterfly Picks – Large Decorative Glitter Egg
Colored Plastic Easter Grass – A Wreath Form – Ribbon – Hot Glue
1. Remove the tag from the plastic hanger on the large decorative glitter egg.
2. Glue the plastic hanger to the wreath form.
3. Begin to glue grass all over the wreath and over the plastic hanger.
Don't worry about it looking wild, you can give it a haircut later.
4. This is what you should end up with at this stage.. furry!
5. Remove the pick from the glitter eggs and butterflies that you plan on using.
The little ribbon will probably come off too.
6. Squirt a little glue into the hole where the pick was and reinsert the metal twine from the ribbon.
7. Destem the flowers that you want to use. Some will pop right off the stems and other types need to be cut.
8. Layout your wreath before gluing.. (I made a loopy bow). Glue each piece down firmly.
When you are done, clip the stray grass until you have something you like.
This turned out adorable! Oh, and I love the Bee Gees too!!!!
This is so cute! I love your attitude about Easter and the scripture you posted. Easter is my favorite holiday to celebrate life!

What would be the Best fighting style to learn for self defense in street fights/ Bar scenarios?
Best Style for Self Defense?
A large dose of situational awareness, chunks of boxing/kickboxing/muay thai and wrestling/judo - a dash of experience and a sprinkling of a respectable 100 meter sprint.
Morning yoitspmart,
The quick answer is that I do not hold there to be A BEST. Even if there were to be one, it would still be a matter of finding what best fills your needs/wants and that is available to you in terms of geography, time/schedule, and finance. If some engorged walrus kung fu was the best ever, it would do me no good in my local.
Blaze is correct about awareness. I frame this discussion in terms of strategy, tactics, and finally technique. Most of the "styles" are going to focus on the technique part of the spectrum. I also tend to give the quick and dirty explanation about the necessary strategy as "The Three Stupids".
It is early. I need coffee. I have to go to work. So, forgive me for not typing out a great explanation here. Instead, let me give you a few links to other threads on this board that might be of interest to you. I am pretty sure I cover the above points somewhere in them. When you read these, pay special attention to what is written by FightinIrish and Sentoguy.
This thread starts with a bit of a wreck, but I think it is well worth the read. Self defense vs fighting, ego, styles, and legality all get a bit of play.
Here is one that Roundhead started about Grappling vs "Reality Self Defense" vs Boxing. The article in the OP is good and there is good discussion after.
This is largely focussed on Krav Maga, a specific style. Weapons and other considerations also come up.
Hope these help. There is likely an hour's worth of reading in those, but it should help you at least start to frame your questions in your mind about what you want. I would ask any specific questions in this thread so that you get better responses. Feel free to ask specific or general questions.
Robert A
Thanks Robert im going to look through these threads after breakfast! It just seems lately whenever i go out to the bars some duesch tries to start shit with me or one of my friends. I dont know if its because im not the tallest dude in the bar being 5 '10 but i have some decent size being 205 lbs that they want to start shit with me either way i usually squash the problem before something happends, but as of late i would really like to take up a form of self defense that would help in those situations be it that i dont stop the problem before it becomes physical
Either you or your friends are doing something to warrant this.
It's not coming out of nowhere.
Learn to ignore people and/or walk away. That or CCW
Evaluate what bars your going to that your always getting into a squabble. Or figure out why guys are starting up with you and your friends.
yea i know i go to bars that are full of dumb college kids and dueschbags and like i said i try to squash the predicament before it turns physical but some times things happen to fast and im worried there wont be time to walk away after bumping someone in a bar or talk the problem down.
Situational Awareness has kept me out of most fights most of the time...80/20 rule, for what it is worth.
Then do a better job of that or get out of there.
You're not talking self-defense, you're talking fighting. You're going to have legal trouble soon. It's not worth it.
So iv been reading the links that Robert had posted and they have answered most of my questions. I started up at a boxing gym but im not sure if this gym is more like cardio kickboxing or somewhere where i will actually learn to box? iv gone to 2 classes and the class have a bunch of girls with about 4 guys in them and we just hit the heavy bags and do combos and then do some plyometric things. There are other trainers there that have came around during the class and told me to keep my hands up or do something with my feet but thats about it . Do you think i will learn to box here or is this more of a cardio kickboxing/boxing gym?
Is the class taught by a woman?
Sounds like a "Club KO" kinda joint.
You got a link to the place?
Glad the links were helpful.
First, boxing will give you technique that can be applied in "self defense". It does not cover a bunch of the situational and legal issues surrounding using violence to defend yourself from violence. That is fine. It is still of great value. Boxing will also allow you to spar/fight in a controlled environment and will give you "less to prove" to yourself about fighting. I am pretty sure those links had some book recommendations from FightinIrish that delve into what I am writing about here. I think boxing is a great choice.
RE: your Gym
That certainly sounds like either a "cardio like" boxing class, the fact you are hitting bags and pads already makes it different from one of the the pure cardio-kickboxing classes, or it is an introductory class that happens to have a large number of women. At only 2 classes in I would not rush to judgement.
Questions to ask are:
1.)Do fighters(amateur or professional boxers) train at the gym? Have you seen them?
2.)What is the layout of the gym? Is there a ring? What equipment is around(how many heavy bags, speed bags, slip bags/Maize Bags)? Is it in a larger workout facility?
3.)Have you seen other's getting one on one time with their trainers hitting pads? Pad work is a big part of boxing.
4.)How are classes/workouts/training times offered? Only one class 2 x a week would indicate it is "just a class" as opposed to a means to develop fighters.
The answers to these questions should give the rest of us an indication of what type of environment/class it is. The best answer though is to look at the coaches/trainers and ask them about who they have fighting. If you are interested in sparring/boxing training than ask them specifically about it and they should tell you. I would keep showing up, even if it is only until you switch to a different class/gym.
Robert A
yea let me go find it
yea i grabbed a groupon deal on this gym a little bit ago and just started using it so far the guys teaching the classes seem pretty cool and a few of the other trainers have came up to me and made me keep my guard up while punching and offered a little help with keeping balance after throwing a combo. I like that its good cardio and being a weight lifter i dislike the hamster wheel but i want to learn how to box and such as well
I agree with this. The answers to these questions might help us figure out how serious these dudes are.
I checked out the instructors. The one guy who's been doing MMA for four years... well I don't like that as far as boxing. He's got a heavy grappling background and I suspect that as a guy who moved from grappling to MMA, he probably doesn't know shit about boxing, even if he thinks he does.
The other guy Bess has a longer resume, and I found a couple of the guys he trained on Boxrec, but it's tough to tell what's legit and what's not - i.e. who he taught from the ground up and who came to him six weeks out from a fight and said, "Help me do pads."
But yes, whether or not fighters fight out of there is hugely important. And to really learn to box, you're probably going to have to do personal sessions... learning in that kind of "class environment" is rough and tends to teach a lot of bad habits that are tough to unlearn.
If you got it on a groupon then it is probably a fitness type of place. And not a real boxing gym.
You taking these classes probably won't help you. You might learn how to throw a punch, but throwing it will probably just really piss off the guy that you hit with it. And then he will probably kick your ass.
Maybe you should work on your attitude and the way you carry yourself when you are out? That's probably the real problem here. No one is just going to pick a fight with you and try to kick your ass for no reason. If you bump someone as you said and you arent an asshole, just apologize and move on. Simple, really. Granted these things wouldn't hold true if you were in a dive bar in the ghetto with crazy grown men that wanted to rob or hurt you for other reasons, but you said it is the college type of bar that you are hanging out in. So just fixing your attitude would probably be a good start for you buddy.
If you are looking for BOXING, the good places will not be on groupon, will probably not have a website, and most likely be in shadier parts of town and be run by guys saltier than my balls in 90 degree heat. Theyre worth finding, those gyms, not my balls.
I would encourage a full contact combative sport merely so that you learn to be humble and avoid trouble because you have nothing to prove.
This gym looks like a couple of guys with low-to-middling resumes trying to cash in on the MMA craze. A college wrestler and gracie blue belt and his buddy the low-level pro boxing trainer decided that it was easier to make money selling to soccer moms, wannabes, and "lion cubs" (their words) along with posting party pics of them wearing Affliction gear than it was to make money actually training good fighters full time. They might know what they're doing, but I'm going to assume that they'll charge you more than their limited expertise is worth.
If you're in Tempe I'd try Arizona Combat Sports. Not sure how good they are now, but when I was in AZ a few years back they had the best training program in the Phoenix area (Gracie Black Belt for jiu jitsu, similar qualifications for their muay thai and wrestling instructors). Ken Shamrock used to have a Lions Den branch in Scottsdale too, but you have to put up with the endless parade of posers there.

Music of the Sun
(Def Jam)
Seventeen-year-old Bajun singer Rihanna has already shot to the giddy heights of the US and UK charts with her first single, 'Pon de Replay', a mixture of dancehall exuberance and R&B tooling. Her debut album offers up more sweet-island vibes refracted through high-end American R&B sound design. Particularly charming is 'If It's Lovin' You Want', where Rihanna's pop diva croon is backed up by rattly beats and steel-drum rolls. 'That La La La' is another rewindable stand-out track, with cocked-pistol beats chafing against her angelic vocal. Less good is her cover of 'You Don't Love Me (No No No)', an overegged, multitracked mess that interferes with the song's wry sway. On the evidence of his first signing, rapper Jay-Z's new career as CEO of Def Jam has begun rather well with Rihanna, a potential Caribbean Mini-Me to Beyonce.
Battleship Potemkin
(EMI Classics/Parlophone)
Synth pop, that most throwaway of genres, sometimes has unforeseen depths. Think of the psycho-sexual frissons of early Eurythmics that made them so well suited to soundtrack the film of Orwell's 1984. Pet Shop Boys had some totalitarian fun in their video for 'Go West', too; a strand of stentorian melancholy has long run through their work. So it's not altogether surprising that they were approached by London's Institute of Contemporary Arts to write a fresh soundtrack to the classic Russian film Battleship Potemkin. Tennant and Lowe's 'foreground music' marshals big strings and ill-boding electronics to this tale of pre-Russian Revolutionary mutiny. Quite why T&L decide to take the whole thing out clubbing on the pulsating 'Odessa Staircase' (where the pram rolls down the steps) is a bit of a conundrum, but, by and large, this soundtrack satisfies, even dissociated from the visuals.
Richard Hawley
Coles Corner
Britain has a surfeit of lacklustre singer-songwriters and a cull is long overdue. But if the rifle squad were just, it would spare Sheffield's Richard Hawley and hoist him aloft like the hero he is. Having previously played bit roles as guitarist in Pulp and the Longpigs, he has turned out a gentle classic. The mood of his third solo record alternates between Lee Hazlewood-style country wistfulness and resonant waltzes, at once tender and sombre. It seems barely conceivable that such an elegant-sounding record should be possible in 2005. But the velvet-voiced Hawley, a shyer Roy Orbison, ostensibly, seems most at home somewhere in the 1940s, when Sheffield's Coles Corner was a popular place to meet. 'Born Under a Bad Sign', just one of 11 miniature triumphs on this record, captures Hawley at the height of his powers.
Run the Road 2
Despite the best efforts of Shystie and Roll Deep, who have bent over backwards trying to cross over, grime remains underground. It's the mainstream's loss. Run the Road 2 follows its January predecessor with 16 more tracks drawn from the genre. Production techniques have come on leaps and bounds since UK garage's more dangerous cousin first exploded, with tracks like Low Deep's 'Get Set' sounding as polished as any US hip hop track. Alongside known quantities like Kano, the ever-dazzling Lady Sovereign and Wiley, RTR2 showcases up-and-coming figures like rapper Sway, female producer Mizz Beats and Plan B, who really deserves to blow up big. His 'Sick to Def (Acoustic)' opens with the aggressive strum of an acoustic guitar, a real aural statement in a genre devoted to digitals. Best of all are his lyrics. He fantasises about the death of his mum's ex and narrates another murder in reverse, all the while rhyming about EastEnders plotlines, necrophilia, HobNobs, City of God and much else.
Best of the rest
