text: The 33 Hottest New Workout Classes in the U.S.\\nPlus, how to get in on the action no matter where you are.\\nThe city that never sleeps hates a snoozefest sweat session. To make it here, workout locales pull out all the stops, giving a Spin class a club-like vibe, and bringing surfing fun past the shore.\\n[Soul-Cycle.com](http://www.soul-cycle.com)\\n\\n__What to expect:__ A unique indoor cycling strategy—superfast pacing and push-ups off the handlebars to the beat of bass-thumping music. Diehards liken it to \\"dancing on a bike.\\" Just when you think you can't pedal another second, catch your breath with a bout of hammer curls and shoulder presses in the saddle using 2-pound hand weights. You may also notice familiar faces in your row. No biggie; it's probably only regulars Katie Holmes and Jake Gyllenhaal.\\n\\n__Know before you go:__ Forgot your hair tie, deodorant or even gum? This studio keeps all on hand for free.\\n\\n__Your turn:__ Steal Soul's mojo: Go to its site to download 10 of the most popular leg-churning songs played in class that month.\\n\\n[Spin 101 Tips from SoulCycle](https://www.self.com/story/spinning-master-class)\\n[BroadwayDanceCenter.com](http://www.broadwaydancecenter.com/)\\n\\n__What to expect:__ Booty pop, hip shaking and b-boying (you know, break-dance moves where you're spinning like crazy on your hands and butt on the floor). And worry not, no-rhythm newbies: Vivacious instructor Bev Brown will baby-step you into the 90-minute routine so you never feel lost.\\n\\n__Know before you go:__ Call your moves-like-Jagger pals, and ask them to join. BFFs often take the class together to pair off for the choreographed partner sequences.\\n\\n__Your turn:__ Brown cribs moves from hot dance videos. Try your hand—er, feet!—at Rihanna's \\"Where Have You Been,\\" a class favorite.\\n[BrooklynBridgeBootCamp.com](http://www.brooklynbridgebootcamp.com/)\\n\\n__What to expect:__ A butt whooping with a view.

Here, it's nonnegotiable. Double up on bottles; make them cold.\\n\\n__Your turn:__ Try Albarelli's go-to move for envy-worthy thighs and calves: Stand with feet wide, toes turned out; place right hand on a chair back.

Rest, then repeat 3 times.\\n[YogaWorks.com](http://www.yogaworks.com/)\\n\\n__What to expect:__ An Iyengar class (you hold poses up to a minute and use props, like straps and blocks) with mood lighting. You grab a spot in a circle around 20 unscented candles, then gaze toward the blaze and let the serene vibe calm your breath.\\n\\n__Know before you go:__ The room is a music-free zone, so be prepared for a meditative, Zen-like and quiet-as-a-mouse atmosphere.\\n\\n__Your turn:__ Turn off the lights and fire up candles to om at home. Just as in this class, the calming ambience will help you focus your practice to better your poses and results.\\n[SurfSetFitness.com](http://www.surfsetfitness.com/)\\n\\n__What to expect:__ Pop up on the RipSurfer X, a machine that looks like a real surfboard, wobbles as if on water and comes tricked out with bungees at its nose that allow you to \\"paddle\\" with resistance.\\n\\n__Know before you go:__ Exactly as you would for the real thing, ditch socks for a better grip on the board.\\n\\n__Your turn:__ Simulate a sick set while you define a surfer-girl chest: Get in push-up position with hands on a BOSU ball; push off the BOSU, and explode to standing. Gnarly!\\n\\"Physique 57, one of the first NYC barre classes, is a tough thigh, butt and ab workout that never lets me down.\\" —Nicole Catanese, fitness director\\n\\"The NYC boot camp class As One makes whipping ropes and leaping over boxes feel doable—and even fun.\\" —Marissa Stephenson, fitness editor\\n\\"In [Deep Extreme](http://www.equinox.com/), yoga moves are mixed with tribal dance to give a bigger cardio burn.\\" —Jaclyn Emerick, editorial assistant\\nSay *bienvenido* to sculpting sexy curves and sizzling mucho calories!

Twice, you'll crank the resistance to slow-pedal while you do 15-minute lifting sessions with 3-pound weights.\\n\\n__Know before you go:__ The bike's instability means you're firing your core to stay balanced the entire hour. Next stop: chiseled abs!\\n\\n__Your turn:__ Classgoers here have a \\"bike butler\\" to help them adjust height and handlebar settings, but you can ask an instructor in any class to customize your ride's fit.\\n[TheSportsClubLA.com](http://www.thesportsclubla.com/)\\n\\n__What to expect:__ The sounds of Miami—Latin rap, Jamaican reggae and salsa—accompany music video–esque moves. And you don't have to be Shakira to hang. The first three songs are your warm-up, and the steps you learn (slowly!) provide the foundation for mastering the rest of the hour-long class.\\n\\n__Know before you go:__ DSL is so caliente that students spill into the hallways. Aim to arrive 20 minutes early.\\n\\n__Your turn:__ No matter what dance class you're in, the key to looking (and feeling) loose is to always keep [knees](https://www.self.com/gallery/nixing-knee-pain-slideshow) soft. Don't lock 'em.\\n[CrossFit.com](http://www.crossfit.com/)\\n\\n__What to expect:__ A no-frills gym (called a box), a whiteboard displaying your workout of the day (called a WOD) and basic but challenging moves (pull-ups, etc.). The kicker: You won't get breaks between moves.\\n\\n__Know before you go:__ You'll keep a tally of rep count and weight load for every exercise. (The goal: Gradually increase your reps, speed and the amount you can lift.) Don't think of it as a competition with other CrossFitters but with yourself.\\n\\n__Your turn:__ Try SELF's [three calorie-crunching WODs](https://www.self.com/gallery/crossfit-slideshow).\\n[BarMethod.com](http://www.barmethod.com/)\\n\\n__What to expect:__ A one-hour, total-body workout that rolls through dumbbell moves, push-ups and leg lifts at the barre, plus ab work on a mat. Muscles. Will. Quiver. Don't fight it. Shaking legs mean you're toning. Proof that the routine really works: Regulars say they've lost dress sizes and 10-plus pounds. Aim to arrive 20 minutes early.\\n\\n__Know before you go:__ Be one of the first to get in the proper position: On days 1 to 15 of the month, veterans know that every move will begin with the right hand or foot; on days 16 to the end of the month, switch to the left hand or foot.\\n\\n__Your turn:__ Buy the new Bar Method DVD, Super Sculpting Workouts, on the website ($20); a countertop or chair can sub as a barre.\\n[DavidBartonGym.com](http://www.davidbartongym.com/)\\n\\n__What to expect:__ The sundress arms of your dreams in a 30-minute sculptathon with continuous sets of flyes, raises and shoulder extensions.

Women make up more than half the group, and the friendly but competitive atmosphere encourages beginners to grab the 10-pounders instead of the 5s.\\n\\n__Know before you go:__ The class is called Guns, but that doesn't mean your biceps will turn into AK-47s. (Women simply don't have enough testosterone to bulk like the Hulk.) Here, you'll get lean muscles.\\n\\n__Your turn:__ Arm yourself by taking these cues from the class: Grab a set of heavy 'bells (aim for a weight you can lift only 10 times), and do 3 sets each of shoulder presses, biceps curls and triceps kickbacks.\\n[GreenMonkey.com](http://www.greenmonkey.com/)\\n\\n__What to expect:__ Anusara and Ashtanga poses (you jump from one position to the next to build strength) in an inclusive atmosphere. No one's laying claim to a yoga mat space here. Novices are greeted with a smile and given a rundown of the \\"monkeyisms\\" (insider lingo that GM yogis use).\\n\\n__Know before you go:__ The nickname for the studio is Tree House, and the lounge has free Wi-Fi, so friends will often meet here pre-class to hang.\\n\\n__Your turn:__ Adopt the Green Monkey attitude: Grin, instead of gritting your teeth, during those muscle-scorching last seconds of [plank pose](https://www.self.com/gallery/11-ways-to-make-a-basic-plank-more-challenging). We'll bet you hold it longer.\\n[PoundFit.com](https://poundfit.com)\\n\\n__What to expect:__ A [rock-star body](https://www.self.com/gallery/rock-star-body-slideshow)! You'll tap weighted drumsticks on the floor and in the air for hundreds of reps in 45 minutes while you hold squats, lunges and crunches.\\n\\n__Know before you go:__ All that stick slamming can get LOUD. No one will make fun if you bring earplugs.\\n\\n__Your turn:__ Tell ab flab to beat it: Hold Boat pose as you drum the palms of both hands on the floor at the side of your body, twisting from right to left for 1 minute.\\nYou don't have to be [Jennifer Aniston](https://www.self.com/topic/jennifer-aniston) to have a starworthy bod in Tinseltown. New workout joints debut daily, and cool trends keep gym-nistas coming back and looking like A-listers.\\n[CycleHouseLA.com](http://www.cyclehousela.com/)\\n\\n__What to expect:__ To cycle until you reach your four-digit calorie-burning goal. Because your instructor wears a heart-rate monitor, she can tell the class when the tally ticks to 1,000—usually after upwards of 70 minutes. Post-ride, staffers pamper you with cold eucalyptus-scented towels and fresh fruit.\\n\\n__Know before you go:__ For every ride you buy, Cycle House's Take 1/Give 2 program will donate enough money to feed two people through Feeding America.\\n\\n__Your turn:__ Think of this studio's mantra before every workout: \\"You have no idea what you're capable of.\\"\\n[MillenniumDanceComplex.com](http://millenniumdancecomplex.com/)\\n\\n__What to expect:__ A 90-minute lesson that will make you want to join the dance line on Smash! You'll learn modern, funky jazz and ballet steps, and before you begin, the instructor will identify a character for you to channel while you move. (Think \\"Vixen,\\" \\"Siren,\\" \\"Diva.\\")\\n\\n__Know before you go:__ This gym is a celebrity beacon. (Britney goes here to get her groove back.) So don't be surprised to box-step or grapevine next to dancing queens such as Christina or Janet.\\n\\n__Your turn:__ Watch videos of popular classes on the site, then let them inspire you to create your own choreography at home.\\n[BarrysBootCamp.com](http://www.barrysbootcamp.com/)\\n\\n__What to expect:__ A [muscle-shocking interval routine](https://www.self.com/gallery/eight-minutes-to-slim-slideshow) that leaves zero chance for daydreaming. For one hour, you'll switch between sprints on a treadmill (amping your speed to even 10 mph) and strength-building moves that use weights, a step and bands to tone every inch.\\n\\n__Know before you go:__ Each day has a specific workout (for example, Mondays are always Arms & Abs), so double-check the schedule to make sure it's what you want.\\n\\n__Your turn:__ A tip instructors yell over and over in class applies to your next heart-racing workout: \\"You can do anything for one minute!\\"\\n[PopPhysique.com](http://www.popphysique.com/)\\n\\n__What to expect:__ A class that earns you a perky ballerina butt that \\"pops,\\" à la the perky posterior that greets you on the studio's home page. The mix of pilates, dance and barre moves is set in a \\"yupster\\" studio (yuppies and hipsters united) that rocks the latest indie and electro music.\\n\\n__Know before you go:__ Learn to love that muscle-burning sensation. The program at Pop requires that you hold...hold...and hold a move (like a deep plié) to get results.\\n\\n__Your turn:__ Look for the DVDs—three workouts, with one on defining a damn-fine derriere—on the site, starting this month ($15 each).\\n[LAAC.com](http://www.laac.com/)\\n\\n__What to expect:__ Knocking out kettlebell swings, walking lunges and \\"suicides\\" (sprinting back and forth on a basketball court). And never again using modifications when it comes to body-weight moves. With this routine, you will be the girl who can blaze through pull-ups and push-ups.\\n\\n__Know before you go:__ Classgoers are supertight and meet regularly to celebrate birthdays and progress.\\n\\n__Your turn:__ Challenge yourself with the class's 10 percent goal: When you use free weights, grab dumbbells that are at least 10 percent of your body weight. (So if you're 120 pounds, reach for 12s.)\\n[UpDogFitness.com](http://www.updogfitness.com/)\\n\\n__What to expect:__ Chaturanga to bass-thumping Eminem and [Katy Perry](https://www.self.com/topic/katy-perry) in a gorgeous studio of floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking Santa Monica Boulevard.

Chi-Town boasts some of the coolest calorie-crushing classes in the country.\\n[FlywheelSports.com](http://www.flywheelsports.com/)\\n\\n__What to expect:__ Stadium-style seating in this cycling studio means there's no bad spot to be; bikes track pedaling (RPMs) and resistance (torq) so you can't skimp on either. The famous \\"torqboard\\" is a flat screen that intermittently flashes riders' stats so you can race to be the strongest and fastest.\\n\\n__Know before you go:__ You don't have to see your name in lights. If the torqboard intimidates you, you can opt out when you sign up.\\n\\n__Your turn:__ Friendly competition like Flywheel's can help you push harder for longer, regardless of the workout, research shows.

Mount Lincoln Climber's Log
DaFreshman - Aug 25, 2003 5:35 pmRoute Climbed: Standard 4-banger combo Date Climbed: 23 August, 2003
By far the coolest of the 4 summits in the "circle" - pretty small and airy with a suprisingly gnarly little face off to the south. Definately more of a "top of the world" feeling than on top of the parking lot sized summit of Bross. Cool peak.
TexasClimber - Aug 19, 2003 9:25 amRoute Climbed: Kite Lake Trailhead Date Climbed: August 9, 2003
My climbing partner Tim and I reached the summit of Mount Lincoln on Saturday, August 9, 2003. This was Tim's first official 14'er with Cameron being his actual first "unofficial 14'er." We set out to climb only Lincoln and Bross leaving Democrat off the circle traverse as I had reached its summit earlier this year with a fellow climber.
ben - Jul 21, 2003 6:47 pmRoute Climbed: traverse fron cameron Date Climbed: 31 August 2002
part of the big 4 in a day fiesta!
Speedy - Jul 20, 2003 9:49 amRoute Climbed: Kite Lake via Mt. Democrat and Mt. Cameron Date Climbed: July 9, 2003
Mt. Lincoln looked a little spooky to me from Mt. Cameron, but it was pretty easy to get to on the out and back trail from Cameron. I think it was here that we first noticed all the trucks up on Bross! How crazy is that!!
Bryan W - Jul 16, 2003 1:28 pmRoute Climbed: Kite Lake via Democrat/Cameron Date Climbed: 7/9/03
Well many people talk about how easy these mountain are, but it is still along day. After making the saddle between Democrat and Cameron, it was time to start back up. Followed the easy trail to the top of Cameron. After reaching the east side of Cameron, we found a large snow field and got 200' glissade or so. It was a nice change of pace for the day. Anyway, reached the saddle between Cameron and Lincoln and started towards the summit. Made the summit in about 20 minutes. I was suprised to find that the Lincoln summit has a little exposure. It is for sure the most exciting of the 4 that I would be on that day.
395guy - Jul 15, 2003 7:40 pmRoute Climbed: Kite Lake to Democrat to Lincoln to Bross Date Climbed: July 3, 2003
My first 14ers! Awesome circuit across three 14ers. Going from Kite Lake to Mt. Democrat to Mt. Lincoln to Mt. Bross is like rounding a seven-mile baseball diamond backwards. Lincoln would be second base.
Great views from the top of Lincoln. What a place to eat lunch!
kcmule - Jul 1, 2003 1:49 pmRoute Climbed: Kite Lake Date Climbed: Mon June 30, 2002
cool, pointy summit with terrific views. hiked with friends Dave and Kim who were summitting their first 14ers. we did the 'calibron' (no democrat).
xskier77 - Jun 26, 2003 6:30 pmRoute Climbed: Kite Lake Date Climbed: June 23, 2003
After summiting Democrat we hiked to Cameron and then over to Lincoln. Only took 15 minutes to get from Cameron to Lincoln. Beautiful day.

After summiting Democrat we hiked to Cameron and then over to Lincoln. Only took 15 minutes to get from Cameron to Lincoln. Beautiful day.
Grant - May 8, 2003 12:46 pmRoute Climbed: Windy Point - 11,200' Date Climbed: June 1, 2002
The walk over to Lincoln was much more scenic than the hike up to Bross. It was very easy and after a half hour of walking I was at the summit. I talked with the people up at the summit and took in the wonderful views. The views from the top of Lincoln were much more scenic than the top of Bross. I sat at the summit for an hour and a half. Then the clouds started to get organized around me so I decided that it was time to head back down. On the way back to the road near Bross I headed up and did Mt Cameron (14,238') an unofficial fourteener because it's to close to Mt Lincoln but its on the map.
When I got back to timberline I had a chance to go through the Bristol Cone pine forest. What a site, numerous old trees it is well worth anyone to go and see the old forest.
Diggler - Apr 2, 2003 6:13 pmRoute Climbed: uncertain Date Climbed: fall, 1995
Summited along with Mt.s Democrat & Bross that day. Went up with the CU hiking club. I remember it was a nice day, and the weather was beautiful. Think that this might've been the 1st summit, then Bross, then Democrat.
8.21.'9- did this from Montgomery Res. via Lincoln Ampitheatre following my ascent of the N ridge of Democrat. Left TH at 15.58. 'Trail' up to, & surmounting headwall steep & unpleasant, but charming in its own way due to its uniqueness...
The way that I took to surmount the headwall ended up being a few 4th class moves. After I popped up into the ampitheatre, was surprised by perhaps the largest moraine I've seen in Colorado.
Having just come from sea level a day before & being under the sun all day (& having just done another 14er), I hit the wall at this point. Seeing the huge, awful headwall of steep scree almost made me turn around... the only thing that kept me going was the thought of having to return & redo what I'd just done.
Somehow I managed to get past this terrible slope (1 step down for every step up this steep scree slope) & summit at 18.52. Took off at 19.00. Descent was horrendous as well, as the layer of scree not deep enough to 'skri' down.
While I started feeling better on the way down, still didn't feel 100% until back in Parker. While I could see this being enjoyable with some ice falls below & a layer of snow covering the slopes above, but as it is (i.e. summer conditions), this was positively the worst scree slog I've ever done. Absolutely terrible. Back at car @ 20.58.

This must have been my second 14er of the day, right after Democrat. I was part of a Boy Scout troop that
undoubtedly managed to annoy everybody up there that day.

fresh chopped parsley for serving if available
Cut browned sausage pieces into half moons and add with parsley, cumin, sweet paprika, and smoked paprika, and cook one hour or longer. You will probably need to add more water several times during this cooking time. I like to cook it until most of the lentils have disintegrated into the soup. (If desired you can remove some of the lentils without any sausage pieces and puree in a food processor or with an immersion blender. I've made this twice, and one time I did that and the other time I didn't and it didn't seem to make a great deal of difference.)
Season the soup with salt and pepper as desired. (It will not need a great deal of salt.) Serve with chopped fresh parsley as a garnish if available.

What's In An Ultrabook?
Over the past few months, so many companies have talked about their new "Ultrabooks" (especially at CES) that I've gotten a bit confused as to what an Ultrabook really is. Since "Ultrabook" is a trademark of Intel, I asked Karen Regis, Intel's Director of Ultrabook Marketing Strategy, to explain the concept in more detail.
Essentially, the Ultrabook combines a vision, a marketing strategy, and a plan for Intel to work with the system makers and component vendors to help enlarge the market, thus reducing the cost of thinner components and thinner laptops.
The first thing to note is that there are, and have been, thin-and-light notebook computers for years. In some respects, all Intel is really doing is assigning a new name to a set of specifications that resolve around its latest processors and chipsets and launching a massive marketing campaign. Indeed, Intel introduced its first ultra-low-power CPU twelve years ago, and Ultrabook just refines the concept. Some manufacturers will create laptops with the same chipsets that don't meet those specifications; some will use the general concepts but will pick different processors; others will meet the specifications but choose not to use the Ultrabook name. Yet given Intel's marketing push, most PC makers will create multiple versions of products that fit under the moniker.
As Regis explained it, Ultrabook refers to a long-term vision for notebooks. Features like touch screens, instant on, and a more natural user interface (including touch, voice, and gestures, in addition to the keyboard) will make them more like tablets.
Not all the features that Intel would eventually like to have are in the Ultrabook roadmap, however. Regis noted that Intel does not require touch, voice, or gesture controls, nor does it demand hybrid or convertible machines. In part, that's because touch adds significant cost at this point, Regis said.
The Ultrabook program is based around four "experience pillars," Regis said. The first of these is "mobility without compromise," which includes things such as long battery life and seamless connectivity. The second is "expression of self," meaning the laptops should be sleek and stylish, with great aesthetics. Thirdly, it should also allow for "flow," or responsiveness and performance—not so much peak performance levels as simply working without any interruptions. Finally, it should allow the user to feel "in control" through security and context awareness features.
The Ultrabook definition is meant to set the bar for end-user experiences, but Regis hopes that system makers will innovate beyond the baseline.
The initial specifications are now out around the company's "Huron River" platform, based on the Sandy Bridge platform and the Cougar Point chipset, sold under the 2nd Generation Core platform label. Only these "Core" processors—Core i3, i5, and i7—qualify as Ultrabooks. (The less-powerful Pentium or Celeron-branded chips that use the same chipsets aren't eligible.)
Under the current Ultrabook definition, a machine needs to be less than 18mm in height and have a display less than 14 inches. (Most of the machines I've seen with the moniker have 13.3-inch or smaller displays.) Systems with 14-inch or larger displays can be up to 21mm (0.83 inches) thick, in part because larger systems often have optical drives, Regis noted. In addition, an extra 2mm of thickness is allotted for touch-screen laptops, hybrid, or convertible designs, as touch-enabled screens are thicker.
One big requirement is that the machine must have a "fast resume," moving from a near-zero power hibernation state to the point where users can type on the keyboard in less than seven seconds. To do this, Regis said, most manufacturers will implement Intel's RapidStart, which uses a non-volatile NAND flash memory cache in addition to the main disk drive. Effectively, this stores the contents of the system's memory on a fast solid-state drive (SSD) cache that can be quite small—just the size of the system DRAM. Most Ultrabooks will use this cache in addition to a traditional hard disk drive, though some will use a full solid-state drive.
In addition, Ultrabooks must have more than five hours of battery life on MobileMark 2007, although more than eight hours is recommended. Most models are doing better than that, though smaller systems with 11-inch screens often are at the low-end of the scale simply because they are so light and have such small batteries.
Ultrabooks are supposed to have their BIOS/firmware enabled to expose Intel Anti-Theft and Intel Identity Protection Technology. The actual technologies are not required yet, however, as they have not been fully rolled out in software and all geographies. There are no cost requirements, and Ultrabooks will be available at a wide range of prices.
Intel will gradually heighten the requirements over time and Intel has completed the specifications through the company's 2013 roadmap, although not all the details are public yet.
The big push is coming this year, around the "Chief River" platform and the Panther point chipset, using both the 32nm Sandy Bridge and the 22nm Ivy Bridge processors. (The marketing will be focused on the 3rd Generation Core processors known as Ivy Bridge, but since the chipset takes both generations of processors, either could qualify.) A new version will come out in 2013 around the "Sharks Bay" platform, based on the next 22nm processor, known as Haswell, and the Lynx Point chipset.
For the Ivy Bridge generation, the Ultrabook specification is more of an evolutionary change, although Regis did indicate it would be possible for Ultrabooks to also include Intel's vPro technology, typically used in corporate-managed machines.
The bigger change will come in the Haswell generation, where Intel plans to promote the "notebook redesigned," as the chip promises a twenty-fold reduction in "active standby" power requirements. This should mean a typical machine could update email and social networking feeds for days with the screen off, and then could be turned on instantly.
Regis wasn't ready to give specifications for that generation, but she did mention that meeting some of goals of the long-term vision would require more hardware changes. For instance, to have true voice control, laptops will need array microphones.
While it's not specifically part of the program, it seems likely that Windows 8, with its new touch-screen features, will make multi-touch notebooks, and hybrid/convertible lines more popular.
Intel hasn't really started its consumer marketing campaign yet, but it will be bigger than the Centrino campaign that popularized the company's Wi-Fi initiative a few years ago.
As I mentioned, you'll also be seeing thin-and-light machines without the Ultrabook branding. Indeed, AMD has been pushing its concept, called "ultrathin" laptops, for a while. AMD doesn't have specific requirements or a big marketing push, but said its processors will allow system makers to sell ultrathin laptops at lower price points, in the $600 to $800 range. Intel won't officially talk prices, but most of the systems I've seen are slated to sell for $700 and up, with many around $1,000.

Title: A Kiss in Time
Author: Alex Flinn
Pages: 371
Time took to read: 2 days (this is a new feature!)
Cover Rating: 3/5
Character Rating: 3/5
Plot Rating: 4/5
Overall Rating: 4/5
I thought this book was good, and I guess you could tell by the new feature "Time took to read". I think this is a good book, and liked the new retelling of Sleeping Beauty. I never really was that found of this particular fairytale, but liked this rendition of it. I mainly read this book because I liked the last book by her (Beastly) and always like to see different renditions of the same story. Now that I have read two of her books, I can now say that I really do like this author, and will try to find another of her books to read. All in all I liked this book also, and I recommend it.
(these are two different description and I liked them both, so I thought I would list both of them.)
"What is that?" She points to the numbers on teh shirt.
"The Year. Old Navy puts the year on all their flag T-shirts. It's sort of a racket, I guess-you have to buy a new one every year."
"That... is .... the.... year? She looks sort of sick. Her face is suddenly almost the same color green as her eyes. She begins to shake. "Oh my... oh, no." She crumples back onto the floor, as she was when I first saw her. "It cannot be true. It cannot."
I kneel beside her. "What's the matter now? I thought you were fine."
She looks at me, then starts screaming. "Fine? Fine? I have been asleep nearly three hundred years!"
(here is the second. I thought this one funny.)
Talia fell under a spell....
Jack broke the curse.
I was told to beware the accursed spindle, but it was so enchanting, so hypnotic.....
I was looking for a little adventure the day I ditched my tour group. But finding a comatose town, with a hot-looking chick asleep in it, was so not what I had in mind.
I awakened in the same place but in another time- to a stranger's soft kiss.
I couldn't help kissing her. Sometimes you just have to kiss someone. I didn't know this would happen.
Now I am in dire trouble becuase my father, the iking says I have brought ruin upon out country. I have no choice but to run away with this commoner!
Now I'm stuck with a bratty princess and a trunk full of her jewls... The good news: My parents will freak!

Georgetown coach John Thompson III earned his first technical in six years last night, reacting to a questionable foul call on Nate Lubick in the second half of an embarrassing home blowout loss to Pitt. The 19th-ranked Hoyas fell to 0-2 in the Big East with a 73-45 loss to the Panthers, but it was the generally-reserved JTIII (much in contrast to his mercurial father) launching a torrent of "That's fuckin' bullshit"s to the referees that really caught our attention. Look on the bright side, Georgetown! You'll be out of that miserable Big East sooner than you know.

I had a reader email me a while ago about asking me about Dr Linda Papadopoulos's Psyderma skincare range which I really liked but is now discontinued. I can't for the life find the reader's email anymore, but if you are reading then Dr Papadopoulos has a new range called LP Skin Therapy:
Have you ever noticed how Dr Linda looks the same today as she did about 10 years ago?!
The range includes:
- Multi-task Day Cream – £47 – 45ml
- Overnight Replenish Cream – £47 – 45ml
- Re-affirm Eye Serum – £35 – 15ml
- Untired Eye Cream – £35 – 15ml
- Lip Rescue Gel – £20 – 8ml
- Refining Lip Exfoliator – £20 – 8ml
- System Balance Face Wash – £15 – 150ml
- Uplifting Facial Water – £20 – 120ml
The LP Skin Therapy range is based on psychodermatology – how the mind and stress can affect our skin, can cause eczema and increase the signs of ageing.
They day:
The range also contains a unique blend of pioneering ingredients called Nootropic cognitive enhancers. Nootropics are naturally derived, smart nutrients that can have positive effects on the mind. Some ingredients containing nootropics are Periwinkle extract (Vinpocetine), Tyrostan (Tyrosine) and Vitacell – thought to have a calming effect on the skin and helping regulate mood.
I'd definitely go for a skincare range like this, since I've tried the previous range and liked it, plus I can vouch for stress playing havoc on the skin (looking tired, much?!).
The LP Skin Therapy range is out in Harrods and QVC.

Pyrethrin medicines are available without a
prescription as shampoos or mousse. Apply the product to dry hair. Do not use any hair conditioner. Leave it on the hair for 10 minutes, and
then rinse it out. A second treatment is needed 9 days after the first, to kill

Pyrethrins kill lice and some of the eggs

Itching may last for 7 to 10 days after treatment. But itching is not a reason to use the product again. Overuse of lice products (such as using the product twice when only a single use is prescribed) can irritate the skin and may increase the risk of side effects.
Medicine is one of the many tools your doctor has to treat a health problem. Taking medicine as your doctor suggests will improve your health and may prevent future problems. If you don't take your medicines properly, you may be putting your health (and perhaps your life) at risk.
There are many reasons why people have trouble taking their medicine. But in most cases, there is something you can do. For suggestions on how to work around common problems, see the topic Taking Medicines as Prescribed.
If you are pregnant, breast-feeding, or planning to get pregnant, do not use any medicines unless your doctor tells you to. Some medicines can harm your baby. This includes prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, herbs, and supplements. And make sure that all your doctors know that you are pregnant, breast-feeding, or planning to get pregnant.
Follow-up care is a key part of your treatment and safety. Be sure to make and go to all appointments, and call your doctor if you are having problems. It's also a good idea to know your test results and keep a list of the medicines you take.

Wherever you are on your spiritual journey, we warmly welcome you to join us in silent worship and reflection.
Twin Cities Friends Meeting (TCFM) belongs to the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers), with affiliations to Northern Yearly Meeting and Friends General Conference. We are located at 1725 Grand Ave. in St. Paul, Minnesota, a block east of Fairview (view map/directions), telephone 651/699-6995. Sunday parking is available at the Ramsey Junior High School lots; enter either at Grand and Cambridge, or from the frontage road on the south side of Summit between Wheeler and Cambridge.
Meeting for worship is held:
- Sundays at 8:30 a.m. and 11 a.m.
- Wednesdays at 6:30 p.m.
Each meeting for worship is one hour long. The 11 a.m. meeting has First Day School (Quakerese for Sunday School) and nursery care throughout the school year. First Sundays are exceptions. On first Sundays we hold "family meeting" where adults and children gather together for songs, games and spiritual exploration in a separate room from meeting for worship.
During the summer months (mid-May to early September), child care may be provided on an informal basis, with parents taking turns among themselves. If you are joining us for worship during the summer months and need child care, please contact us ahead of time to see what arrangements are in place.
Friends Forum programs–speakers, workshops, or discussions on issues of interest to Friends–are held between the two Sunday meetings for worship, 9:45-10:45 a.m., from September through May.
How we worship
Twin Cities Friends Meeting (TCFM) practices unprogrammed silent worship, without ministers or prepared ministry of any kind. We wait together silently in faith that divine spirit, or an irresistible sense that we have a message to share with our fellow worshippers, may visit us at any time. Visitors are encouraged to attend at least several meetings for worship to get a sense of our manner of worship and spoken ministry.
How we make decisions
Major decisions of TCFM are made in monthly Meeting for Worship with Attention to Business (MWB), through a process of Quaker clearness, or discovering "the sense of the meeting." The process is sometimes described as consensus, and in fact Quaker clearness and consensus have similarities, but they are not the same thing. MWB is in fact a meeting for worship, and many of us think of the process as a communal seeking after the divine will. We are not merely seeking a compromise that all parties are willing to live with (that would be consensus), but a better third way that we will clearly recognize as the direction our meeting should follow. If only one out of a hundred Friends expresses a concern over a decision, we are committed to hearing that Friend fully, with open hearts and minds–a needed spark of that divine will might be found in that person's words. On the other hand, a Friend with a concern may sometimes choose to "stand aside" from a decision, if they feel the community is better served going ahead with the decision despite their concerns.
TCFM holds Meeting for Worship with Attention to Business at 9:30 a.m. on the second Saturday of the month, preceded by light breakfast items at 8:45 a.m.
Other decisions of TCFM are made by various volunteer committees, which also strive to make decisions according to the process of Quaker clearness.
What we believe
Ours is a faith without a creed, but it is nonetheless a faith. At the core of our faith is a commitment to seeking and responding to that of God in ourselves and everyone. The oft-cited Quaker testimonies of: peace, simplicity, equality, and community, are not external rules to live by, but rather the natural outcome of seeking and responding to spirit in ourselves and others.
The roots of the Religious Society of Friends are clearly and powerfully Christian, and many of us in TCFM consider ourselves Christians. Others among us would not describe ourselves as Christians, but nonetheless may find ourselves drawn to Jesus's message of love.
How we care for each other and the world
Perhaps our faith is best discerned through our practice. As a religious community without designated ministers, we are called on to minister to each other, in everyday life and through committees of care, clearness and support that any Friend or attender can request from Ministry and Counsel Committee. Requests for membership and marriage under the care of the meeting are always processed by clearness committees, and committees can also be requested for support or clearness during times of transition, suffering, or ripeness for spiritual growth.
Beyond the borders of the TCFM community, many Friends are deeply involved in peace, social justice and environmental activities on a local, national and international level. In addition to TCFM Friends doing such work individually, our meeting is involved with organizations such as Friends for a Non-Violent World (FNVW) and Friends Committee on National Legislation (FCNL).

However, got to enter my own comment- love BuNKiTZ story but that entry did not even name a killer?!
Here is my boyfriend's entry that I think is much better (of course I am biased), let your readers decide... (sorry don't kill me C)....
Paul Norman was a former Kord Pharmaceutical employee in Hub City, one of Ted Kord's most trusted workers. Norman was personally handling the sale of the company to Wayne Enterprises and relocated to Gotham City to supervise the acquisition. However, Kord's faith was badly placed as Norman succumbed to the lure of easy money in the Gotham black market, selling medicinal prototypes to Black Mask's syndicate. In 2007, Norman was fired after, in Norman's words, "some faceless nut in a blue trenchcoat and hat" battered him into confessing his crimes while Norman was on a business trip back in Hub City.
Unbeknownst to Norman, Black Mask's organization arranged for the corrupt members of Gotham's City Council to hire Norman as their Property Acquisition Executive, considering him one of their own. His wife, Melissa Walker, could not stomach these changes, and divorced him, taking their two children to Metropolis to live with her parents and start her career as a reporter for the Daily Planet and teen book author.
Since then, Norman has acquired many properties for the city, and has also made a small fortune as a broker for several off-the-books buyers, including Black Mask and the Falcone and Maroni crime families. Norman has been arrested multiple times for illegal operations, but he has never been sentenced as a result of Norman having done "favors" for the judges and juries of each of his proceedings.
In the last month, he has been contacted by a new buyer, Oswald Chesterfield Cobblepot, a.k.a. The Penguin, multiple times in regard to several properties all around the city, but specifically in the slums of South Gotham. Earlier this week, Norman was contacted by Penguin about a building to use as a pit fighting arena and mini casino. Norman told Cobblepot he would look for a suitable place and get back to him soon. Two days later, Norman called Penguin, saying that he had found several locations that fit what he had specified and for Penguin to meet him at the "usual place" the next day to do the deal.
Norman rented their usual meeting place, an expensive room on the 35th floor of a Gotham hotel, and waited for Cobblepot to arrive. When Norman heard a knock on the door, he rushed over and let Penguin in. Cobblepot entered with a cigar in his left hand and his signature umbrella in his right. Norman gestured to a chair and invited Cobblepot to sit down while he locked the door and got them both drinks. Norman went up to the mini-bar and got out a bottle of single malt whiskey, a bottle of spring water, and two tumblers from a cabinet across the room. He went back to Penguin with the drinks, the tumblers, and a worn leather briefcase containing the acquisition copies for Cobblepot to look at. Norman filled the tumblers with water and whiskey and offered them to Cobblepot, and drank whiskey directly from the bottle himself. Cobblepot slammed the water off the table yelling "I never drink this stuff with my whiskey!" and immediately began snatching records from the old briefcase. Norman was startled and slipped in the water as he dodged Cobblepot's swing, his neck and head hitting the chair as he fell. Norman apologized, saying that one of his best customers, Commissioner Loeb, preferred water with his single malt whiskey.
Cobblepot laughed and told Norman to be careful about what kind of company he keeps, and grabbed papers for several buildings around Robinson Park (Penguin already had a pretty buyer named Selina Kyle lined up for the property). He worked out the finer details with Norman, paid Norman his cut in cash and arranged the fund transfer to pay for the buildings.
As Norman turned around to get himself another round of whiskey, careful not to slip again, Penguin waddled over to his umbrella in the nearest corner of the room. Penguin yelled, "Hey, Norman! You've been a great helper. Thanks!" and deftly shot Norman in the back with his poisoned umbrella tip, near his left shoulder blade. The expert shot placement and poison worked immediately. Norman fell to the ground and Cobblepot waddled over and lifted Norman onto the bed. He ripped his cash out of Norman's suit pocket and rolled Norman onto his face, extracting his specially designed umbrella tip from Norman's back with his left glove, saying, "These lot are expensive."
Penguin then opened the window, smearing blood from his left glove on the outside window ledge, and used his umbrella's helicopter function to fly away to the Final Offer and teach Alberto Falcone a lesson.
I pieced together the clues from the hotel room for the finer details, and, combined with the evidence I obtained from Penguin and his thugs earlier that day, I glided out the window and grapnel boosted away just as Branden and his cops entered the room.

Home intruder dies in shooting
The son of a homeowner on Thursday night shot and killed one of three suspected intruders at a home in west Harris County, officials said.
The shooting happened about 9 p.m. at the house on Brook Garden near Cloudbrook, said Deputy Thomas Gilliland of the Harris county Sheriff's Office.
Gilliland said the homeowner heard a knock at the front door and when he opened it the suspects rushed inside. One of the suspects carried a pistol and another had a shotgun.
The owner yelled for his adult son to get a gun and the younger man rushed down a hall to a bedroom. One of the suspects followed him. Gilliland said the son grabbed a gun and fired three shots, hitting the man. The wounded man died at the scene.
Gilliland said the other suspects had been attempting to bind the homeowner's hand with duct tape. But when they heard the gunfire they left the house, speeding away in a white Ford Explorer.
Deputies spotted them a short later and took them into custody.
Gilliland said investigators were trying to determine what led to the home invasion.

A Boy and His Dog
For Sepia Saturday this week I am posting this photo of Daniel "Eddie" Purdy and his dog from c.1896. Eddie (the brother of my great grandmother Blanche) was born on March 5, 1886 in Minnesota to Jennie (Cole) and Jonathan Edward Purdy. His father tragically died in 1893 and in 1904 Eddie and his family moved to Everett, Washington. I had heard stories that he had died young, but it took me quite a long time to finally find his death certificate, on which he is incorrectly listed as Edward Purdy. From it I learned that on January 17, 1907 his body was found on Getchell Hill in Marysville, WA. He had apparently suffered a fatal heart attack at the young age of 20. Strangely, his death record lists his deceased father's name, but his mother is listed as unknown. Since he was living with her at the time of his death this is surprising. My best guess is that Jennie could not afford to bury him, so she was not able to claim the body. What a sad ending to a once promising young life.
P.S. Check out the size of his feet!
8 comments:
The dog appears to be looking at the camera as intently as Eddie! I wonder if the shoes are his own or if they are an older brother's, borrowed for the photograph. If they are his own they are indeed long - and he would have been very tall as an adult! Great photograph!ReplyDelete
this is such a great photo. and you have amazing detail from all your research.ReplyDelete
Wonderful photo (and yes very large feet) but sad that he died so young and that his mother couldn't claim his body.ReplyDelete
What a sad tale. Imagine not being able to claim your son's body. Those shoes do look big..maybe they were bought large for him to grow into!!ReplyDelete
I agree with Joan; those shoes must have been too big, rather than his feet being so.ReplyDelete
What a hang-dog look on the dog!
There are so many tragic stories in families from our ancestry. I think every family has something desperately sad in its past. This one is no less sorrowful by any means.
It's an adorable photo! And good for you doing all the research and finding out some of the facts!ReplyDelete
i agree that those are hand-me-down shoes, too big for him. what a sad thing to die so young.ReplyDelete
let's hope he had lived the life he wanted nonetheless...
I agree hand me down shoes..probably just for the photograph! You don't see many old photos professionally done that include animals.ReplyDelete
Great detective work to find out the info that you did. :)

I received this wonderful package today from Mylene (Netherlands). What a great surprise!! I am a member of the Hooked on Exchanging group and this was the Biscornu exchange. Mylene made me a beautiful biscornu and a biscornu scissor fob as an extra. She also included some lovely ribbon and buttons. I love everything and am thankful for the beautiful work. Thanks, Mylene.
I also finished another of the CCN pieces, this time the Daisy square. I changed the color of the word but am not 100% happy with it. Originally, the word was stitched in the green color, but I was afraid it would not show up very well on the fabric. The other two I have stitched have the words stitched in the same color as the flowers, so I decided to keep to that pattern. I'm just not sure. I do love the blue house on this fabric though. And the dragonflies are just too cute. I will finish this as a pinkeep also. I have already picked out the fabric and trim. I just need a little bit of free time.
Thanks for visiting my blog. By the way, if you want to visit a very funny stitching blog, visit WB Stitches. The link is to the right. She is such a funny person.

A few more finishes ...
Well, it's back to work tomorrow. Though we didn't get all the things we hoped to do completed this week, I did have a very good crafting week. I finished the above piece (Winter Bird Delight by Praiseworthy Stitches) over the past week and decided to finish it as a box. I love the color purple and was very happy to find the right shade of purple to go with this piece.
I also finished PS Scatter Eggs this week. This was a super fast stitch. I started it yesterday and was happy to finish it before the weekend was over. I'm not sure what I will do with this one. It will probably go into the chest for now. When I purchased the pattern and buttons, I didn't notice the fabric it was stitched on so the buttons would work. The model piece was stitched on a 19 count fabric over two. I have way too much fabric to buy another piece, but luckily Hobby Lobby had their fabric on sale and I found a light blue piece of 18 ct. I have enough to stitch the Scatter Sunshine piece also (I think).
Finally, I picked up some ribbon yesterday to finish the Peter's Cotton Knits box. I think it is perfect. Thanks for stopping by my blog. All of the comments are much appreciated. Happy St. Patrick's Day!!!

A day of finishing
It is Spring Break this week, so I have big plans to finish a lot of projects around the house. My husband even took the week off to help. Unfortunately, he has been sick for the past few days, so the big projects will have to wait until tomorrow. So, I just couldn't let a free day be wasted. Today, I have been working on several of my completed pieces, doing a bit of finishing. First, I finished my biscornu for the Hooked on Exchanging group. Can't post a picture yet, but it is really cute. Next, I finished a CCN piece as a pinkeep. This is the second of this series that I have completed and each will be made into a pinkeep.
Since this was so easy, I decided to finish the blocks that I received from Sonda in the Fair and Square exchange as a pinkeep also. It turned out so pretty. I followed Vonda's example and grouped my pins to add a bit of interest. I think this is so pretty. Sonda did such a wonderful job stitching the piece, it had to be finished as something pretty.
Then, I went through my chest of finished items and decided to work on one of the Easter pieces I have. I finished this RTRD piece as a block. The cording was made with floss from an old kit. I had a bit of trouble with the cording, but finally got my husband to help. It is so cute. I still need to add a bow, but I need to find the right ribbon.
I do have a couple of other items to try and finish today, but my nephews (2 and 4 years old) are coming to spend the night with us. That will definitely limit how much crafting I will do the rest of today.

Harvard has had three student-athletes named to either the first or second team each of the last three season (Gil Talbot).
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – Brogan Berry, Christine Clark and Victoria Lippert were named to the All-Ivy League teams on Friday after leading the Harvard women's basketball team to the program's third WNIT appearance in four years.
Berry was named to the first team for a second consecutive year after leading the Ivy League in assists (4.3) and assist-to-turnover ratio (1.9). She also ranks ninth in scoring (12.1), leads the conference in free-throw percentage (86.3) and is second in minutes played (35.2). The senior was a two-time Ivy League Player of the Week honoree and was named to the honor roll three times. She turned in back-to-back 20-point performances for the first time in her career against Penn and Princeton, with her 26 points against the Quakers marking her season high. Berry also recorded the first double-double of her career this season with a 12-point, 10-assist effort at UMass, and led the team in assists 20 times and in scoring nine times.
Berry joins Allison Feaster '98, Hana Peljto '04 and Reka Cserny '05 as only the fourth student-athlete in Harvard history to be named All-Ivy League four times in her career. She was an honorable mention selection as a freshman in 2009, a second team honoree as a sophomore in 2010 and has earned first team honors in each of the least two seasons. Berry was also named the 2009 Ivy League Rookie of the Year and was selected to the all-rookie team. She became the first student-athlete in Ivy League history to record 1,400 points and 500 assists this year, and is only the 49th student-athlete in NCAA women's basketball history to do so as well. Berry currently ranks sixth in program history and 29th in Ancient Eight annals with 1,411 career points, while her 517 assists are tied for second most in Crimson history and fourth all-time in the Ivy League with former teammate Emily Tay '09.
Clark joins Berry on the All-Ivy League first team, marking just the ninth time in school history and first since 2004 that Crimson teammates have been named to the first team. Clark was a force at both ends of the court this season, ranking fifth in the conference in scoring (15.2), 10th in steals (1.6) and 12th in rebounding (5.7). The sophomore was also third in free-throw percentage (84.8), eighth in minutes played (31.8) and 13th in field-goal percentage (40.7). She was named the conference's player of the week three times in 2011-12 as well as being selected to the honor roll four times, and turned in a team-leading three double-doubles. Clark tallied 20-plus points five times including a season-high 28 points in the opener at Iowa, and tied the program record with a perfect 12-of-12 performance at the line at Columbia. Clark scored in double-digits in 26 of Harvard's 28 games while leading the team in scoring 14 times, in rebounding eight times and in assists four times. Clark was an Ivy League All-Rookie selection last season.
Lippert was named to the conference's second team for the third consecutive season after ranking 10th in scoring (11.9), fifth in three-point percentage (36.4), sixth in field-goal percentage (44.7) and sixth in three-point field goals made (1.7). She became the 16th member of Harvard's 1,000 point club this season and currently ranks 14th in program annals with 1,090 points, and was a three-time honor roll selection. Lippert scored in double-digits in 20 of 28 games, leading the team in scoring on five occasions and in rebounding and assists twice. The junior registered her third career double-double with 13 points and 10 boards against Columbia, teaming with classmate Elle Hagedorn to become the first Crimson duo to record a double-double in the same game since she did so with Emma Markley '11 in 2009. Lippert has been named to the All-Ivy League second team in each of her three seasons at Harvard and was also an all-rookie selection in 2010.
This marks the third consecutive season Harvard has had three student-athletes named to either the first or second team. Since 1978, when the conference first established the award, Harvard has earned 91 All-Ivy honors including 34 first team, 30 second team and 17 honorable mention selections.

Escaped Michigan killer captured in Indiana
A murderer who escaped a Michigan prison Sunday night and carjacked a woman was captured Monday evening in northern Indiana, the LaPorte County Sheriff's Department reported.
Michael Elliot, who was serving life sentences for four 1993 murders, was apprehended after a short chase near Shipshewana, where the unidentified woman's 2004 Jeep Liberty was found earlier in the day, WZZM-TV reported. She called 911 from a concealed cellphone, then ran into a restroom and locked herself inside.
Elliot, 40, escaped the Ionia Correctional Facility about 7 p.m. Sunday by using a box cutter and a hammer to make holes in two electrified, 12-foot-high perimeter fences. He evaded motion detectors, security cameras and gun towers as he crawled away. Prison officials said he was dressed in a white kitchen uniform, which may have camouflaged him in the snow.
"He was not zapped with electricity, and he was not picked up by the motion sensors," prison spokesman Ross Marlan said.
Elliot was not discovered missing for two hours.
He walked three miles to Ionia, where he abducted the woman and drove to Indiana. While Elliott pumped gas at a store near Middlebury, in Elkhart County, the woman called police on a concealed cellphone and then hid in the restroom until police arrived. She told officers Elliot said he wanted to flee as far as he could from the prison, about 100 miles north.
Earlier, Nashville police were warned that Elliot could be headed to the area because he has family there, an emergency dispatcher told The Tennessean in Nashville.
Elliot was serving five life sentences for armed robbery and killing four people in an August 1993 home invasion in Bentley Township, Mich.

Grae's Rating:
Enlist me, baby.
Who's In It: Aaron Eckhart, Michelle Rodriguez, Bridget Moynahan, Michael Pena, Ramon Rodriguez, Ne-Yo
The Basics: Los Angeles, the obvious cultural center of the Western hemisphere, is once again under attack--but this time, it's not by wildfires, earthquakes, or random, Roland Emmerich-created tornadoes. Now, L.A. is threatened by extra-terrestrials, and they mean business. They're not here to reason with us or check out that excellent gelato place in Silverlake--they are here to wipe out humans and take our water. Yes that's right. Angelenos are going to die for their Brita filters. And Aaron Eckhart is just the Marine to stop them.
What's The Deal: This is not your garden-variety, wisecracking hero-charms-the-pants-off-the-enemy, cutesy-wutesy action flick. This is a garden-variety war movie and the enemy is from another planet. It's more Hurt Locker than Independence Day. From beginning to end, this thing just keeps jackhammering at your nerves. Sure, there are a few moments of comic relief, both intended and not (Aaron Eckhart imploring a kid to be a "little Marine" is priceless), but mostly this film assaults you worse than the LAPD on a traffic stop in Watts. My heart rate was so high during the film, it took care of my cardio for the day. Totally fun, totally ridiculous, totally insane.
Thank You For Smoking: Aaron Eckhart is spectacular in the role of Staff Sgt. Nance. He's a misunderstood, stoic Marine who makes the tough decisions and keeps on hoo-rah'ing through it all. It doesn't matter whether he's stabbing an alien repeatedly in the chest, reassuring his Lieutenant, or tying a child's shoelace--the man is all class. We've seen the role of "tough-as-nails on the outside, soft and squishy on the inside" guy. Eckhart makes it look effortless here and brought back memories of heroes long gone by. He even told a kid that it was okay to cry. Hoorah, indeed.
Attack Of The Hand-Held Camera: Contributing to the claustrophobic feeling was the abundance of hand-held close-ups. Ever since Bourne Identity, audiences have been squinting their way through tightly framed action scenes in film, and this movie really took that to another level. Was it effective? Absolutely. I got the feeling this is truly what combat is like. However, I found myself wishing, as I often do, that I got to actually see a little bit more of what was happening.
Chasing The Dragon: As I was watching the film, I was thinking about how over-stimulated our society is. We keep having to continuously top ourselves in order to get a rush. We can no longer be impressed over something as simple as seeing a moving picture of a train entering the station--now we need one hour and 56 minutes of completely berserk explosions, gunfire, and car crashes in order to feel anything at all. Between Bridget Moynahan making veterinarian jokes and alien ships blowing out car windows, I caught myself thinking that Battle: Los Angeles is one of the signs that our culture is heading towards a Roman-esque downfall. They eventually hit their ceiling too.
Thank You Grae, I can't believe the other guy saw the same movie we saw. Now I wonder if he really saw SyFy's Battle of Los Angeles and Not "Battle: Los Angeles." You've restored my faith in critics. What should be said is this is what SKYLINE should have been at least as the trailers portrayed. This movie gave more than what the trailer gave.
While watching this movie you perceived the ruin of America because you believe the film a byproduct of the attitudes that will destroy us? You then wrote a review where you talk about how awesome the movie is and gave it 3.5 stars?
1. Hypocritical?
2. I am impressed by a train pulling into a station. My emotions are not washed out or withering. I don't need 10 shots of Jager (so to speak) just to get a buzz. Your philosophizing would have been fine had you said "it seems a majority of our society...," but by generalizing and saying "we" (are all like this) you're lying and wrong.
I know this reads harsh, sorry, but I mean it as constructive criticism.
Nice review Grae! I finally found a critc whom I agree with 100%, especially the "Chasing the Dragon" paragraph about our society being over-stimulated. I sure believe it.
Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but I'm sorry, this movie was just bad.
I can't even begin to go over the specifics of what was terrible about that movie, because I could probably write an eleven page thesis, but unfortunately only have 280 characters left.
Yeah, the special effects weren't bad and lots of things went boom boom (not quite heart pounding though, if that's all it takes to get your cardio for the day, I'd seek out a personal trainer), but the real problem was the script and it's a shame you didn't make any mention of the various problems including lack of character development (you know, so we CARE if someone dies), clunky dialogue, GAPING plot holes, and no real insight into the aliens invading.
I would bring it to your attention, Grae, that "Bourne Identity" did not implement the frenzied, hand-held action camerawork; Doug Liman directed "Identity", it was Paul Greengrass (director of "Supremacy" and "Ultimatum") that instituted this frenetic shooting style. Nowadays, it's kind of the cliche, go-to style for action films.
You thought this movie was sensory overload? Just wait until Sucker Punch comes out!!
I was pleasantly surprised, though not impressed with this movie. I know it could never hold up to the *incredible* original trailer that it came out with, but it did manage to capture the fear and chaos of such an invasion better than any other alien movie I've seen.
Listen. Why are you negative reviewers so caught up.on.the. little things? The movie was good it kept me entertained for an hour and a half. Aw you didn't cry for everyone that died get over it. And to the critique that we didn't learn enough about the aliens is stupid we knew exactly what they knew.which I believed involved the viewer in the fight. All in all I really liked this movie, and I don't think it deserves the reviews its gotten.
Just saw it and did not like it, too much gunfire all the time, the whole movie, I mean hello? no imagination there... but what can I say? no sci-fi movie will ever top Independence Day, which was the greatest of all times
Man I don't get either of you. I truly think neither of you should review movies anymore. This movie sucked. Completely unoriginal by all accounts. War of worlds or even God damn independence day had the same freakin plot. Poor special effects really made this movie tank. Supposed to be action packed and yet quite boring with the most predictable ending ever. Hell they literally did that ending in both movies I mentioned. Give me a break. Another terrible movie given a good review by people who clearly never leave the house and are easily impressed.
All the people bagging this movie are retards.
Why? It's a war movie with Sci-Fi elements. It's about the USMC fighting an agressive and more brutal force. It's not about soul searching, love or all that mushy mushy Bullshit.
Personally, I'm glad the military finally got a movie in the last 5 years that isn't talking bad and saying a bunch of BS. That means you avatar.
I was on the edge of my seat throughout the whole film and saw it with 5 of my best friends. 4/5 of us loved it so much we plan to watch it again. It's raw it's gritty, it's a battle.
The acting was solid, the characters were relatable. If you've ever been the guy who screwed up and could've gotten people killed you would understand the crushing guilt Nantz
The film's makers nailed pre-emptively all the metrosexuals bashing their work: They don't know John Wayne.
Yes, some of the lines were a bit much, and there was only enough character development to support the purpose of the film, but this wasn't an effeminate coming-of-age story, this was a good, old-fashioned, all-American-heroes-save-the-day kind of movie.
Those who despise this film also probably disliked 300, just like those Athenian boy-lovers.
Is it any wonder the aliens think we're ripe for invasion?
I hated 200 but loved this. I agree with Boss on all accounts. When they first escaped the aliens clutches and Nantz decided to go take out the command center, I panicked that the movie would end there. Happiness! Joy! Another fifteen minutes remained. I kept thinking to myself, while on the edge of my seat, that this movie is like the history of the space marine. In this flick we beat them back. In another we kick them off the planet. In the third, we chase them back to their homeworld. I need to go play some halo or something!
C'est clair, l'attente est toujours trop lngoue!!! Et surtout, quel beau mois d'avril, avec Sucker Punch, World Invasion Battle Los Angeles, puis Thor !! avec un petit Rio au passage, tout e7a m'en fait saliver e0 l'avance! vite vite !!
I may be mistaken, but I thoguht one of the major provisions of the Affordable Health Care Act, being phased in through 2014, was elimination of the pre-exiting condition clause. I would also note that the limits on outpatient and inpatient days you mention are rather generous compared to some health care plans and are a problem for basically any mental illness diagnosis. however, i agree with you in spirit and in general and wish you the best.
i super love this story momi chris, pero i prefer the book than the film. Ive been a fan of nalhocis sparks ever since.Visiting you thru TBE. http://stadtdsqo.com [url=http://cxmbcyfjno.com]cxmbcyfjno[/url] [link=http://dtqnehsgrah.com]dtqnehsgrah[/link]
J'ai vrmaneit mais vrmaneit he2te de voir ce film! Le trailer est une vraie bombe qui est vrmaneit e9norme! Pfbrement e9norme! J'attend ce film avec impatience, rho, dur de patienter! encore 2 petits moi de patience! Aller ! Courage!
Wow! That's a bestlifeinsurpolicy.com life insurance online quotes really answer! neat insurance health treatment comparehealthinsur.com health insurance rates children illinois where to buy levitra heliomeds.com
There are other things QuotesChimp should look at. One is the ease of making claims. Some companies make the filing of claims easy by making access to adjusting services readily available in most neighborhoods. Others make processing of claims more difficult, so be sure to ask how each company handles this all-important aspect of the insurance relationship.

Today's guest blog post is by AAA member Robert (Bob) Muckle. Robert (Bob) Muckle is based at Capilano University in British Columbia. His most recent book is Indigenous Peoples of North America: A Concise Anthropological Overview (University of Toronto Press, 2012). He also writes a column called 'Archeology in North America' for Anthropology News and is on Twitter @bobmuckle.
January 11th, 2013 is likely be the most important day in recent decades for the Indigenous Peoples of Canada, with potentially global implications. It has to do with the movement known as Idle No More.
Idle No More began in late 2012 as a grassroots movement among the more the one million people claiming Indigenous ancestry in Canada, culminating primarily from what is perceived to be an ongoing erosion of their rights, lands, and resources. The movement has largely been peaceful, including hundreds of events including flashmob roundances at shopping malls, rallies, media campaigns, and a handful of blockades. It has been a dominant story in Canadian media since mid-December and there have been dozens of events supporting the movement by Native Americans in the US.
January 11th is important because (i) members of the Assembly of First Nations (AFN), representing the interests of the more than 600 First Nations in Canada, and the organization the government prefers to work with, are meeting with the Prime Minister of Canada and the Governor General (the Queen's representative) to discuss concerns of First Nations; and (ii) many of those participating in Idle No More movement are wary of representation by the AFN, and at least partially in response to the meetings have declared the day to be a 'Day of Global Action' with well over 100 events scheduled in support throughout the U.S. and elsewhere.
While Indigenous rights are front and center, there is much more of interest that is being underplayed by government and mainstream media. One thing that is rarely mentioned is that the movement is giving voice to a many thousands of Indigenous Peoples of Canada, especially those who have been frustrated with the actions of their own nation's chiefs and councils or national representation (ie. AFN) at addressing the wrongs imposed upon them through hundred of years of oppression. Although Idle No More claims to have no official leadership, leaders are emerging and they tend to be young (ie. 20s and 30s), smart, articulate, and dynamic. And, not unimportantly, many of them are women.
Social media has been fundamentally important in the movement. Twitter has been used to quickly organize events and share media. One of many Facebook pages devoted to the movement has more than 65,000 likes. Organizers and supporters use social media for live townhall-type meetings.
There has been considerable emphasis in mainstream media about a hunger strike by one chief that began on December 11th. While for many she has come to symbolize the movement, she is not a founder or acknowledged spokesperson. The January 11th meeting with the Prime Minister and Governor General was one of her demands.
There is significant support for Idle No More among non-Indigenous peoples. In addition to recognizing the erosion of Indigenous rights and resources, many view the movement as perhaps the best way of protecting the environment. An immediate goal of the movement is to withdraw or amend legislation reducing the protection of the environment, which many Canadian would like to see. Other goals are for the government to uphold constitutional and other rights as they apply to Indigenous peoples, including meaningful consultation. An ultimate goal is to have truly nation-to-to nation relationships with the federal government.
Other things I have seen arise out of the movement is a strengthening of relationships between the First Nations in Canada, and through their support, with Native Americans of the US as well as Indigenous groups elsewhere. I see a strengthening of relationships between First Nations and non-First Nations people in many circumstances through their shared common purposes of protecting the environment and righting the wrongs of past governments.
I see First Nations taking the opportunity through media, flashmob dances, and rallies to educate others and assert control over vocabulary. Words such as decolonialization and settler (as opposed to non-Indigenous or Euro-Canadian) are increasing in usage.
Unfortunately, I also see much racism and ignorance, especially when reading the comments following media stories.
I'm not sure what is going to happen on January 11th. It is an important day for the AFN. For the past few years their relationship with the federal government has been viewed by many as being too cozy. If the AFN wants to retain relevance within First Nations communities, they will have to make some kind of significant stand in their meeting with the government that will be pleasing to those preferring the grassroots Idle No More movement. This will be hard.
I think the amount of support demonstrated by the Idle No More movements within Canada, the US, and elsewhere will be fundamentally important. If there is relatively little support, I think the movement will fizzle. If the support is significant, however, look for the movement to escalate further, into the United States and perhaps elsewhere.

Botnet speed test uncovers drag racers of malware
Supercharged spam powerhouses revealed
Researchers have discovered that Zombie machines within the Xarvester and Rustock botnets are capable of sending up to 25,000 junk mail messages per hour.
The speed test, by security researchers at Marshal8e6, found that the two botnets are the muscle cars of the world of malware.
Marshal8e6 deliberately infested its lab computers with nine botnet agents reckoned to be the biggest source of spam or the strongest up-and-comers: Xarvester, Mega-D, Gheg, Grum, Donbot, Pushdo, Bobax, Rustock and Waledac. The botnets established by these strains of malware are thought to be collectively responsible for more than 70 percent of the world's total volume of junk mail.
Security analysts looked at what changes each strain of malware made to the registry, what ports it communicated over and kept an eye on how much spam each bot type was capable of sending. Xarvester and Rustock threw off the most junk mail, 25K messages an hour or the equivalent of 600K spams a day.
The data on spam rates was harvested from a wider research project into botnets run by Marshal8e6 over the last two years.
"Over the past few years, botnets have revolutionised the spam industry and pushed spam volumes to epidemic proportions despite the best efforts of law enforcement and the computer security industry," said Phil Hay, senior threat analyst, Marshal8e6 TRACElabs. "Our intention was to better understand the origins of spam, and the malware that drives it."
The results of the botnet research can be found here. ®

UK student gang-raped in Thailand
A British student has been raped by a gang of men after being dragged off the street while visiting Thailand.
The 20-year-old, from the Scottish Highlands, was reportedly attacked after leaving a nightspot in Nakorn Sri Thammarat in the south of the country.
It is understood the woman was on a break from her studies and had applied for a job at a local school.
Reports said she had been in the city for two weeks with her boyfriend when she was attacked on Saturday morning.
A Foreign Office spokesman said: "We are aware of a British national having been involved in a serious assault in Thailand. We are providing consulate assistance at this difficult time."
