|Unknown as Cale Soto
Cale Soto is a young hispanic male who stands about six feet tall. His build is smoothly toned, with muscle that is tight and firm with gentle contours beneath the warm tan of his skin. His hair is black and shoulder length, streaked with blonde highlights. His hair is often unkempt and tousled, but clean. His face is handsome, with warm brown eyes, a proportional nose and a generous mouth given to smiles. Though these days, his expression tends towards a detached neutrality when not influenced by events around him.
A simple white t-shirt gives subtle hint to the contours of his chest, while the unbuttoned dress shirt above drapes the modest breadth of his shoulders. The overshirt is black striped and the cuffs are undone. Wrinkles plague both garments. His jeans are snug, giving a soft outline to his strong legs. A worn, brown leather belt wraps his waist, the tongue of it hanging down from the buckle haphazardly. Well broken sneakers of black and grey guard his feet and on cold days, an aged leather jacket wards off the chill.

Hooks and Links
Below is a rough synopsis of places where BGs can be linked or points of RP can be engaged with.
Cale was born in Las Cruces, New Mexico in 1987. His parents built their way from common wealth to modestly wealthy as he was growing to his teens. So his exposure would be broad for those years, from simpler folk to the lower echelons of the well to do.
Between the ages of fifteen to eighteen, he fell in with the party crowd. Young, idle rich youths who would spend the time not in school doing whatever they wished. Often this would include road trips south of the border, a good deal of booze and sex. During this period he'd also encounter a lot of different people.
He was infected just after graduating from high school during one of these forays. He was on the border between high school and college. He never let his parents discover this and remained in Mexico to attend Universidad Autonoma de Nuev, which lay near where his parents originated from.
He's had strong links with the Pard in that region, which I have not defined in any detail as of yet. He was with them through his college years and a few months after before he came to Chicago, following Jandra. So he'd have had interactions with that Pard and many college students around 2005 to early 2010.
Currently, Cale is deeply invested in CLAW, more or less running their IT department. He pulls semi-regular hours in the office, so to speak, but does a lot of his work on the go or at home as well. He's always on call for computer related emergencies(of a sufficient scale – small disasters are handled by NPC techs).
However he is –not- an open shapeshifter. While not completely hidden, he is discreet about what he is, so few know ICly and he tends to keep himself out of the public eye as much as possible. His comings and goings to CLAW's offices are discreet. He tends to come in early and leave at times when foot traffic is low. And, as noted above, do work from home whenever possible.
Cale has few regular hangouts. He tends to rotate common coffee houses and bars without much rhyme or reason. Whichever is closest on his way to wherever he's going or is currently at. He does take regular trips out to Wavecrest Island, usually during the morning or mid evening when there are few people around.
Searching Inward, Outward
Wherein Cale withdraws from the environment he's put himself into and goes into the 'wilds' to try and figure out who he is and what he should be doing with his life. To try and remove himself from the stresses, urges and motivations that are making his life a struggle when it should be a joy. And where he finds a new path for himself that is unlike that which he's walked before. Sometimes what you need has always been there.
Entry One
Silence all around, if not in his head. Only the light wind through the trees. The sound of the nocturnal critters as they make their way in the dark and the brush. His own footfalls and the soft creak and jingle from the pack on his back. No more cars, not more light bleed into the sky. No more people and complications. The nagging in his head lingers, but subdued. Distance and determination to focus dulling it some. For now anyway.
With his suitable sight found, he set to work at once. Clearing the ground of twigs and stones for his tent. Gathering larger stones for the shallow firepit. A mix of modern and rustic methods, all executed with his light knowledge of fieldcraft. a bit messy and imperfect, but serviceable. Soon, he had the tent set up and his gear stowed. The firepit ready, but lacking certain essentials.
It wasn't a bad way to spend the dark few hours. Just enough light by stars and moon to not run into things, but a pleasant and calming darkness all around. He knew the land was safe. one of the safer places for him to simply relax. To risk letting his control relax. Though in some ways uncomfortable and unfamiliar, he let his energy out to play. Let it loose from the soft coil within to simply be.
No stress here. No surprises.
The night is mature when he returns, a healthy collection of tinder, kindling and fuel to stack beside the tent, a smaller piece of plastic slid over it all in case of rain. Wet wood takes more effort to burn. But tonight he had no need of the fire. His belly full, he had no need to hunt or cook this night. Planned in advance, affording him time to simply settle in. With chores of the evening completed, he settled into the tent, flap open to let him lay near the entrance and peer out from the most modern of his comforts, atop the second most, the synthetic fiber sleeping bag.
For another hour he would be like this. His eyes half closed much of the time. Drawing in the sounds and the smells of the trees. The quiet promise of stillness and calm. The surety that nothing could go wrong this time. That thought prompting a soft smile. And with the deepening of the night, a fatigue. Eventually he closes up the tent, but leaves the side flaps open, netting keeping out insects while letting in breezes. And with the removal of cloth, he settles to sleep.
His first night truly alone.
Entry Two
The next day started well. A moment of disorientation. No comfortable nbed, no high, firm ceiling. But an instant is all it takes for him to come back to where he is and soon after why he is. A pang hits, but he just purses his lips and nudges it aside.
It helps once he's up. He doesn't bother dressing, the col grass of his campsite free of annoying rocks and sticks. He gets a fire going, low and warm and his kettle. Shoes come on as he walks down to the nearby water to fill the kettle a bit. Coffee may not be a physical need, but the mental aid of its regularity helps once he's heated the water and got the mix in.
And for a time he will sit and contemplate the days before him. Days without the usual distractions and activities. He's brought along his laptop, but it remains at the bottom of his bag for now. His camera, his cellphone. The latter silent and stuck in a pocket of his bag. Checked once a day for emergencies. But no more high tech conveniences. No movies, no music. No work for now. No socializing. No her.
And his thoughts skitter away as he finishes his coffee. Thinking is far too dangerous right now. Counterproductive. With a deep breathed sigh he gets up to tidy and starts to consider the slow hollow growing in his belly. Time to leave thinking behind. And time to eat. Time to commune with what's inside. After his camp is made neat again, he walks out a few dozen yards before letting the shift overtake him.
Bringing up the mental state for the change easy, despite the moon's distance. Part of him is too predisposed to panic and fear. Unquiet and uncertain. Though through the aching discomfort of the shift, the union of form and mind, such concerns fade to the background. He gives a part of himself over to an alien mind, letting it settle closely beside him and whisper its primal emotions and instincts into his ear.
And for now, he listens to it. As much as he clings to his humanity, he's learned over the years that there are times to let go just a little. To sink into the strange pool of the primal mind. The beast that sees black and white. Friend and foe. Food and not food. The only other category being those who are not yet in one of the two categories. And foremost on its mind is food.
Hunting as the beast is still an odd experience for him. Parts of it more comfortable and compelling than others. There is a calming element to the hunt itself. Focusing on the senses. Smell to pick up the trail. The particular scent of deer that populate the area. Learning to determine the new and old trails a slow developing second nature. The beast knew how, teaching him the first year through slow osmosis.
Hearing, listening after bounding to where the scent grows stronger. Fresher. The soft pluck of the grass nearby letting him pinpoint his prey before his eyes fix on it. Then the stalk. Larger than normal he might be, but even a large leopard can steal upon the prey. This too is strangely calming. The low slink, feeling this powerful body respond so effortlessly and fluidly to let him glide closer.
The stillness shattered as the coiled up energy of the stalk snaps free in an instant of simple fury. The prey flees, of course. But Cale is faster, even if he does not immediately take it down. Letting the exhilarating moment of the chase play out just a bit longer. Letting his heart swell with the excitement of the kill. The physical impact of bodies slamming into one another. His jaws clamping over the throat unerringly. The beast's touch, generations of instinct in the movement.
The gamy taste of deer quickly followed by the tang of warm blood, his teeth breaking skin, even has the tight grip of his jaws cut off the deer's airflow. He's done this dozens of times. At least once a month out of simple necessity. Rarely more often. Even after over three years, the taste of blood is strange. Not bad, but distinctive in a mildly uncomfortable way to the waking mind. Most notable when he forgets to rinse it away before changing back. Now, there is enough of the beast that it matters less.
And when it ceases moving, he eats. Again, a strange thing to the human mind. Tearing flesh to reach the warm meat within. Tearing free chunks of it with a simple, focused hunger. A faint queasy edge from the human side. Used to this, but not unaffected still. But the backbone of the beast keeps that side stable. This is natural. Normal.
Sated, Cale leaves the remains for the small scavengers to pick clean and he once more seeks the water. Dunking his head to clean his muzzle of the blood and taste of raw meat. The human mind's touch. But it is brief as the wilds call to him. The need to stretch his legs and simply be. And for once the human mind hungers for this simplicity. So there is no resistance to it. He dashes out to wander the woods. Exploring, climbing and simply running. For a few hours existing in the moment and letting his thoughts, fears and uncertainties be silent.
Later that night be returns to camp wet, but clean. The dust and dirt of the run cleansed away with a quick dip. Back at his camp, he pulls on a pair of boxers for comfort, but only that. He fixes himself some more coffee. The deer still sits within him, though much diminished from before. Enough for tonight. Once activity has ended and he sits just inside his tent with coffee, considering the low embers of his small fire, does he feel those thoughts and worries creep back towards him.
Is she alright? Is she with.. what is she doing? Will she be ok? Does she need something? Does she care? Questions without answers that flicker through the mind in a blink, one to the other running in a smear of worry and uncertainty. He closes his eyes, trying to force calm and silence into his thoughts. Easier said than done, but he manage it somewhat. Quieting it to a dull buzz as he focuses on the taste of his coffee and the smell of it mingling with the cleaner air here. The sounds of the evening, the sight of the stars. The slow settle of fatigue that will soon have him sleeping.
Thoughts of what he shall do tomorrow. And the day after. And they day after. And..
Speak in Dreams
"Who are you?"
Cale started to awareness. Yet rather than seeing the dull light bleeding through tent fabric, he saw only the open sky. A few blinks didn't dismiss this faulty view, prompting him to sit up. His propped hand brushing flat land with low scrub grass. And his eyes swept the smooth lay of land that looked more akin to an African plain than the expected deciduous trees he'd been in before.
"Who are you?"
The same voice, this time with a better sense of its composition. A mix of voices. Male and female. At the same time smooth and rational, yet with a soft, wild rumble nipping at the edge of each syllable. Calming, yet prompting a flutter of anxiety that send butterflies through Cale's belly. The sweep of his eyes could not detect the source.. nor could he seem to pinpoint it by ear.
Cale scrambled to his feet, not needing a downward glance to know he was nude. Normally not something that troubles him, but in this place? A potential disadvantage that nagged at the edge of his thoughts. Though more obvious was the sense of expectation in the air. Something waited for him to speak, but only just.
"I'm Cale," he says slowly, cautious. "Cale Soto."
"Who is Cale?" the voice asked empathically in return. "What is Cale?" A pause, as Cale mulled the questions with uncertainty. "Do you know?" As if the source of the voice could read his thoughts.
"No," Cale admitted after a few moments, his lips pursing. A logical part of his mind knew that this.. all of it should touch him deeper than it had. To be in a strange place, being questioned by a disembodied voice? Yet such considerations sat low in his thoughts. The situation simply accepted after the initial disorientation. "Who are you?" Curious, but not demanding.
A few moments of silence pass before it seemed to draw from the very air before him. Color flowing from some hidden place to draw in upon itself, curling about the invisible mold of a humanoid form. Yet not human. Spotted fur, a feline head. A leopard.. person. The form it takes a purely androgynous. Neither too masculine nor too feminine, yet hinting towards both.
"I am Cale Soto," the voice spoke again, yet from the maw of this beast person. Cale could feel a soft flutter of uncertainty again as he studied the.. His mind skittered away from the possibility that briefly touched upon his thoughts. The creature seemed to sense it even as it happened, it's head tilting. "I am you. You are me. We are one, now."
Cale the human felt anxiety warm within. Part of him trying to rebel against this, yet enough feeling of fact weighed against it, leaving that part to flail uselessly in his mind. With such futility left to fling itself in ignored silence, more obvious questions came to mind. "Why? What.. what is this? Where am I?" His head turns just slightly, as if to look about. Yet he pauses before looking too far, not wishing to take his sight fully from the one before him.
Cale the beast shook it's head. "You are where you always are. Where I always am. Within ourself. You dream, Cale. And I speak to you as you will not allow me otherwise." A clawed hand lifts towards him, as if to brush his cheek. Cale flinches slightly and the hand pauses, a breath from the touch. "Why do you deny me?"
With himself becoming more accustomed to this. Slowly accepting what is said and what currently is, response comes more naturally. Quicker, without the need to think. "You're dangerous. You are instinct run wild. Animal. The loss of what makes me human. The loss of remembering those around me are human."
The clawed hand lingers, as if desiring the touch, yet unable to do so. "I am what I am," it replies simply, neither confirming nor denying. "I am potential. I am perspective. I will not leave you. I cannot, even if I wanted to."
Cale is very still. His eyes flicking towards the clawed hand uncertainly now and then. Cautious now. Tense with the restrained energy of fight or flight curling itself about him. Though his mind still works, trying to make sense of this. Of what is being said. Meaning does not come easily or clearly to him. "I know you can't leave me. That I cannot remove you."
"And yet you still push me away," it replies, bright eyes focused towards his own. Warm with the intensity of its gaze. "Not as hard as you once did, but you hide behind your wall, despite what small kindnesses you offer like choice morsels. And now, you wish me to make things simple again. Yet you do not lower your wall. You want, but you will not give."
Cale's mind rolls with thought. Progressing through reason and explanation. The why of this, the what of that. The reasoned arguments that he has held close to justify his path through life. But none of them truly dismiss what it tells him. The wall is there. His determination to take in as little of his other side as possible, yet he does want things simpler. The simple focus of the beast washing away his concern for those things that are not essential to existence. A return to simplicity.
As he looks back into those bright eyes, he struggles to push back against then simple truths and finds that they remain. And yet.. "What do you want of me?" Asked with a guarded caution. The question that has always been there, if unasked before this moment.
"I want you," it replies simply, the fingers of the clawed hand twitching as if brushing against an invisible barrier just a hair shy of Cale's skin. Preventing the simple touch. "I am your potential now. I am not evil. I am not good. I simply am. What I am to you is what you make of me. Your heart and your wishes will guide us both." The clawed hand drops slowly to its side. "I want you to embrace me. To let me walk with you. I will not promise you that our travel will be smooth. I am what I am. But I cannot be denied forever. I want, Cale. And I will have, one way or another."
The low, certain menace in that last prompts a soft shudder from Cale. The first moment where a brief flicker of malevolence shows through. A possible glimpse at what could be. Wild.. savage. "I.." Cale pauses. "I don't know if I'm strong enough. To stay away from the feral path."
"I give you strength, Cale," it tells him. "I have since we bonded. You had strength enough to survive. And I gave to you my vigor. My senses, my willpower. You know this, you have felt it all within. Learned to guide it. Learned well, yet you resist taking the steps that you must to complete our union. You cling too much to what once was. That is not what is. You must let us be together, Cale. Instinct cannot be denied forever."
Despite the low menace in its tone, the simple truth of what this beast tells him is hard to deny. So too, a soft siren's call of emotional salvation is there. Simple focus. A step away from the strictly rational and a step towards natural law. A far simpler law than the laws of man. The ways that have run him to distraction. What could come of it? He didn't know, but the curiosity and the need for something.. better was strong.
Cale lifted a hand slowly before him, extended only half way between the two, in that slender space that separates them. At the same time the beast lifts its hand, matching Cale's movement, yet its hand stops short of the touch again. Unable to force the touch. Yet. Indecision floods through Cale in that moment. Paralyzing, almost suffocating with the intensity of it. But then he pushes his hand forward that fraction, fingers mingling with those of the beast. Almost intimately.
"I am yours, Cale. As you are mine," it tells him, the words breathed as if in relief. "It must be we. Not you, not I. We must be together, like this. I will become w hat you wish me to be. In your heart, what you need. What you truly want. I will be your truth."
Cale nods, his fingers curling tightly with those of the beast. A strange sense of relief brushing back, the lingering jags of uncertainty and caution. Some linger, but the relaxation within is tangible. "I will try to be worthy. I.. I don't know how.."
The other hand of the beast lifts, it's fingertip coming to rest on Cale's lips in a silencing gesture. The touch light, easily evaded. Cale does not. "I will help you. I cannot tell you each step, but I am there. Instinct and urge. Listen for me. Listen deep within when I speak. You will understand in time, if you are determined."
The hand moves away and Cale nods his head. " I will try," he promises softly. Lightly uncertain still. But not so intensely as before. "I will try."
Entry Three
Cale awoke softly, his eyes fluttering open. No more the open sky. Instead, the predawn light bled softly through the top of his tent. And unlike most dreams almost at once he recalled every moment of the one he had just woken from. His fingers flexing, but not feeling the furred hand of what lay within. Oddly, he felt a pang of loss. Before the simple, warm presence of it that has always been there settled in beside his consciousness. Not gone. Inside as always.
The dream lingered on his mind as he rose and made himself ready for the day. Coffee and oatmeal to take the edge of the morning's hunger after stoking a new flame. An abstract thought to get more firewood. Yet such concerns were near drowned out by the thoughts that rolled through his head. The gravity of the dream and its meaning. And the mark It left on him.
He felt different. Why? How? Those questions were unanswerable. He just did. To what end? He did not know. But there was a tangible sense of waiting. Inside.. outside.. was it him or was it waiting? Why was it waiting.. what for? More questions without answers. And the more he thought about them, the more it was clear they didn't matter. At least, not when it came to what he would do. He was in control. He would act, it would follow on his heels. Becoming what he wanted.
The only question is what he wanted. One obvious answer was quick to rise, but he was ready for it. She had no place here. Not now. So he tucked her into the back of his mind for now. And so his mind cast forth to consider again just what he wanted. What.. he wanted to do right now. That was what was important. The thought was simple enough to leave him sitting uncertain. Too easy. Too simple. And yet..
He dropped the half empty bowl and stood up. He stood for a moment, still and silent, then turned and went into his tent. A few moments of rummaging had him emerging with his camera. And without a pause, he went off into the threes. It didn't matter that he hadn't finished his breakfast. It didn't matter that he'd not cleaned the bowl. Nor that he was just in boxers and lacking shoes. He wanted to explore and take pictures. So he did it.
It was a surreal experience. There was an instinctive edge to his awareness. He spent less time sighting and searching for shots and simply snapped away when the whim called to him. There was a glorious sort of spontaneity to it and from moment to moment he no idea what images he had stored away on the digital camera. And he found that he really didn't care in the end. Finding the perfect picture was less important than the picture that felt right. There was no questioning the feeling and so no need to study the picture. At least, not right here and now.
He wandered about the trees for hours, simply snapping every now and then, only stopping when he finally ran out of space on the camera. Though just when that happened he wasn't sure because until be saw it was full, he hadn't bothered to c heck. But how long he'd been snapping pictures that weren't taken didn't matter either. Whistling and with a smile on his lips, he walked back into camp and set his camera away for study later. His belly felt hollow, but it didn't matter. He'd be hunting soon and that would be fixed. He casually went through cleaning the bowl he dropped that morning and gathering firewood, feeling a strange new sense of fluid purpose leading him along.
And that night he hunted, ate well and slept deep and content. He wasn't done out here, but he felt.. he knew that he was on the right track. And for once he didn't think about her so much. A part of him let go, the need to g rip and hold relaxing. His feelings were unchanged, but a sense of peace with the way things would be had begun to settle in. For better or worse things would settle as they would. And he would do as he would with what lay before him when he discovered that settle.
The Last Night
"Who are you, Cale?"
When Cale found himself sitting across from the beast once more, he was less surprised than the first time. The dark, featureless surroundings made it the only thing to focus on. And focus he did, considering the question asked. "That's why I came out here. To find out who I am. What I'll do."
It smiles, in so much as it's animal head will let it smile. "Are you content with what you do?"
Cale embraced the new question with as much consideration as the others. Thoughtful. "I do like to work for CLAW," he says. "I do like working with computers.." A pause, his brow furrowed softly.
"But?" The beast seemed to draw the word from the silence and it settled in with a perfect fit.
"But.." Cale considered, letting his thoughts unravel. "Is it what I should be doing? I feel content, but.. I don't really know if I feel happy. The difference is a bit subtle, but it's there."
The beast nodded, considering Cale. "When are you the happiest, Cale? Be honest with yourself. Embrace it."
Cale nodded his head, thoughtful. "When I'm creating. IT gives me that.. sort of. I was happier when we were gearing up. Preparing, setting up, programming. Building.. creating from individual parts. It was stressful, but it was a good stress. The same with art.. and photography. Writing." He looks up and adds, "I love to create and build. New things."
"And what you do now is no longer as new as before," the best replies. "It does not capture you as it once did. And you wish to do further new things, yes? To build and create anew. To try new things."
Cale nods his head once and responds eagerly. "Yes, I do. I've not before because.. well, I'm not too sure why. Maybe because that is what life is supposed to be, isn't it? Family, kids, the comfortable surroundings that cement you?"
The beast shook its head. "That is one way to live. But it may not be your way. You are not like others, though you try to be. You are Cale. You are man and you are beast. You and I, as one. As it should be and is now. You must embrace what you, as you truly are, wish to do. Does your heart speak towards all of these steady, safe comforts?"
And Cale considered this quietly for a time. Though after time he was only able to offer, "I'm not sure.. I don't think so.. at least not as much as I thought they might. There are appealing aspects to them, but I wonder at times if there is more. If I should be doing more.. creating more." The beast looked at him intently. Bidding a continuation. And after a moment Cale did add, "Art.. arts."
"Like your photography," the beast suggested.
Cale nods as he says, "And more.. new things. Music.. I've always liked it. Maybe I should try it out.. and try more kinds of music than usual. Sable's music was interesting.. not the norm I tend to get. Maybe I should get used to more things."
THe beast nodded its head. "Perhaps you should. Listen to more, oet your instinct guide you. Let me help you find that which is right for you. We, together, will know what is best."
The prospect warmed Cale somewhat. The feeling of someone being there.. of a reliant confidant, even if more conceptual than real. Part of him was sure this was all an abstraction of his own mind working itself out, but the truth of matters didn't make a bit of difference to the ends. He smiled and nodded his head. "We will do it, together." He offers out a hand and the beast reaches out to touch him in turn.

Nicole Vawter, the owner of the Derma Dome Tattoo Parlor says that the noise from the church band is so loud, it knocks things off the wall.
"Basic problem is, a lot of the noise they have their equipment set right against my wall and they play it loud," she said.
Cindy Guajardo of Calles de Oro Christian Church says the noise is just part of their services.
"They've been complaining about the noise that we've been having. What we do is just worshipping the lord," she said.
What? Consideration for neighbors isn't necessary when you are worshipping? Isn't that like saying, "Sorry, but that noise ordinance doesn't apply to us 'cause we're singing to Jesus. We have a spiritual loophole!"
But the irritation has gone both ways. The Church goers say they have been intimidated by the tattoo parlor owners. "Our kids are scared of him. We are scared of him. We can't be comfortable while church is going on," said Guajard.
What? One inked individual is intimidating the whole church? How about some creative reconciliation?
The church could invite the tattoo parlor manager to become the new worship team drummer, and the youth in the church could all get the Christian tattoos that we know they all want.
If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone. – Romans 12:18

3: This website was to view films and get all their details, for example, their budget, directors, producers, distributors etc. | Viewing film openings gave me a wider range or ideas i could work on to produce my own film opening.
4: The second site i used... | Art Of The Title.
5: This website showed me how titles are supposed to look like in professional film openings. Also the different fonts and styles that are used to suit each and every film opening.
6: I then had to write a script using Celtx.
7: We had to update our blog every time we did something, whether it was research or recording.
8: After we had written out opening we were ready to start filming. | 720p HD Camera.
9: This camera was easy enough to use. It was straight forward and simple. | I learned how to do panning, tilting, close ups, long shots and many more camera angles which we used in our opening.
10: We also had to use a tripod.
11: Tripods were actually more handy than i thought. It keeps the camera still so the video didn't come out trembly. It also made it much easier to tilt and pan across landscapes to get a full image of it.
12: I also brought along my digital camera... | Nikon Coolpix 5200
13: I used this to take pictures of various things to put on our blog to show we have been doing work. We also used it when we were filming to take pictures of every scene we shot.
14: Then it came to editing... | We used a mac mini to edit our music and film opening on.
15: At first i found them hard because i had been so used to using Windows. However i am now used to them and i have learned how to use all the programs including Final Cut, Garage band and Photoshop.
16: This is Final Cut, a video editing program.
17: I not only learned how to edit video and sound but also how to fade in/out, add titles and change colours.
18: We had to find copyright free music to use in our opening...
19: Then i had to edit the music to fit in time with the film. | I already knew how to use Garageband so this was an easy task.
20: In the end all we had to do was upload our video.
21: Youtube was an ideal site for our video because not only do we get to share what we had made with others but we could also get feedback on it as well.

The May 14 release of Universal's Robin Hood is fast approaching and naturally more info on the pic is starting to seep out. Last Sunday, The Times (via The Playlist) published a behind-the-scenes look at the production featuring numerous quotes from director Ridley Scott and star Russell Crowe. Their main message: this isn't your father's Robin Hood. Translation: no tights, no good-natured log dueling…more "historical truth" and gritty, violent death. If you've seen the trailers, you've probably already figured that last part out. In addition to discussing the reinvention of this iconic character and his story, Scott and Crowe talk about the potential for a sequel, the "fucking ridiculous" original concept for the film, and more. Hit the jump for the highlights.
"When the first script came to me, I said I'd do Robin Hood, but I wanted to do a fresh version, where we revitalise every part of the story," continues Crowe, "and I thought that if you're going to revitalise Robin Hood, it can be done on the basis that whatever you thought you knew about Robin Hood, it was a previously understandable mistake."
Both Scott and Crowe wanted to take the character back to his initial outlaw roots, as he was portrayed in the "violent world" of the original ballads. To that end, Robin and his merry men, while heroic, will now be "hard-drinking," "grizzled" ex-soldiers. According to the article, while they still rebel against the oppressive forces of King John, they're not the benevolent saviors cinema has come to paint them as. Sure, they rob from the rich, but they tend to be a little less enthusiastic about the whole giving to the poor part…unless they happen to be related to the poor in question.
The film is also said to be very cognizant of the important historical events of the period; the Magna Carta, the constant threat of the French, the economic squalor brought about by the Crusades. But, above all, it's going to be fun.
"The stories do evolve, and that's one of the reasons they endure," agrees Scott, "but while we want to find a true historical world, we want the film to have action, drama and to be entertaining. Robin's stories were told as simple entertainment, and that was one of the keys to Gladiator: keeping the story simple."
Crow and Scott also address the bizarre original concept for the film that you may have heard about a while back…you know, the one where Robin Hood was actually the bad guy sheriff.
"When I read that particular script, and no disrespect to the guys who wrote it, but it kind of read like CSI: Sherwood Forest to me," explains Crowe. "And I just wasn't into doing that. For a start, if you're a public servant and the public, through taxes, is paying you to do a job, you'd better be well meaning. So it wasn't interesting to me in that incarnation."
"It was f***ing ridiculous," laughs Scott. "It was terrible, a page-one rewrite. If you're going to invest in a Robin Hood story, why call it Nottingham? You'd end up spending 80% of the publicity budget explaining why it's Nottingham and not just Robin Hood. It doesn't make any sense."
As mentioned, Scott is very open to the possibility of a series. Evidently Robin Hood is more of an origin story that leaves plenty of room for more exploration in subsequent entries.
"[The first film] is the beginnings of how the man becomes known as Robin the Hood," explains Scott. "You don't really get that until the last few minutes. When you realise that 'Ah, this is who he is'." Scott smiles. "Let's say we might presume there's a sequel…Honestly, I thought why not have the potential for a sequel, particularly if it is a genre that you absolutely love and has never been fully explored? If there were to be a sequel to Robin Hood, you would have a constant enemy throughout, King John, and you would follow his reign of 17 years, and the signing of Magna Carta could be Robin's final act."
Given how hard Scott pushed to have this film converted in post, I'd bet that we can look forward to some 3D action if this does in fact turn into a franchise. Lastly, Crowe talks about the shared burden that the he and Scott will carry for the rest of their respective lives.
"It doesn't matter what we do, everybody always compares it to Gladiator," Crowe smiles. "We do a little comedy set in the south of France [A Good Year] and half the reviews had references to Gladiator. We do American Gangster and Body of Lies and there's Gladiator references…"
That must get annoying. So, Mr. Crowe, could you compare this film to Gladiator?
"If Gladiator was a metaphor for death, and possibly vengeance, then this is about the opposite, it's about life, it's about birth. All the characters you care about, their lives are changed for the positive by the end. The key thing is that it's entertainment; it would be very disappointing if we'd made a dour version of Robin Hood."
As a bonus, here's the writer of the article's description of one of the film's epic action sequences:
To re-create their big-budget world for Robin Hood, Crowe and Scott have set up camp in Bourne Woods, near Farnham, in Surrey (the spot, incidentally, where they unleashed hell upon the Germanic tribes during the opening scenes of their 2000 Roman epic), erecting all kinds of timber dwellings, while the gigantic, battlement-crowned face of a freshly-built French castle glowers in the distance. All around there's a buzz of activity as muck-caked medieval men rush hither and thither, lugging armfuls of arrows, shields, swords and chinking coats of chain mail. A major battle is about to unfold.
One of the opening scenes sees King Richard I, the Lionheart, justifying his epithet as he returns from the Third Crusade, leading an assault on the aforementioned French castle. Blood flows and bones break as the besiegers breach the gates and the besieged battle back, pouring down a hail of crossbow bolts and torrents of boiling oil.

China Plans For 30 GW Offshore Wind Power By 2020
China's big plans for renewable energy continue: People's Daily Online reveals that as part of the nation's twelfth Five-Year Plan offshore wind power will be expanded to 5 GW over the next five years and should grow to 30 GW by 2020.
Public bidding for that first wind power expansion will begin later this year and be complete by mid-2012. The goal: To "form a complete technology and industrial chain." Anyone want to take bets on how much offshore wind power the United States will have in ten years' time? Will it still be trailing far behind, stuck in political wrangling?

I'm randomly dipping into Elizabeth David's "An Omelette and a Glass of Wine" – a collection of some of her journalism both published and not, the latter demonstrating that she was just as capable of writing rubbish as the rest of us, which is reassuring, and, as I'm about to relate, some of it actually got published.
In an article entitled Summer Holidays (originally published in The Spectator, August 24, 1962, though the narrative is clearly set in the past), David relates the discovery of a hitherto unsuspected regional Cornish speciality (unsuspected, that is, both by her and by the Cornish people, too, I shouldn't wonder).
She says: "Shopping in Penzance we run to earth what we think is a Cornish regional speciality. At Woolworths. Gingery biscuits, bent and soft, delicious, much nicer than the teeth-breaking sort," and "I suspect the recipe is secret to the Penzance Woolworths."
I agree about the qualities of these biscuits 100%, but as to their origins, the poor, overly-sophisticated, soul – she couldn't be more wrong.
In the late 40s, my maternal grandmother, who lived in the Liverpool suburb of Knotty Ash (no, folks, it's not an invention of Ken Dodd, it really exists – Dodd, by the way, went to school with my mother and her siblings, and his family, who were coal merchants, supplied mine with fuel), always had a healthy supply of soft and squidgy ginger biscuits, and I loved the things.
It came as a massive disappointment, as I got older, to discover that this delightful confection was not something sought out for my personal delectation (though no-one else seemed to eat them, and therein lay a pretty obvious clue that I missed – hey, I was six, what do you want from me?), but simply plain, rock-hard Ginger Nuts that, in a paper bag, had been allowed to go stale, and had thus softened to a gorgeous squidginess.
For those of you not around in the late forties and fifties, in shops biscuits were stored in tins which, even if people replaced the lids, which they mostly seemed not to,** weren't great at keeping them fresh, nor were the paper bags in which they were sold – plastic packaging that needed a sharp knife to get into had yet to evolve.
**A very few biscuit tin lids had glass inserts but, mostly, you had to remove the lid to see what, if anything, was in there.
It was, for a time, possible to replicate them with a paper bag and a little patience (a frequently steamy kitchen, which is where my grandmother kept hers, helped, too), but whatever they put into ginger nuts (Why nuts? I have no idea, they're just biscuits.), these days resists the softening process pretty much indefinitely, even if you can track down paper bags in which to stash them (harder than you might think, and impermeable plastic doesn't work, of course).
And at the risk of invoking the ire of Ms David's shade, I have no doubt that this was the case at the Penzance Woolworths – not a secret Cornish recipe, simply stale – in a fortuitously nice way – biscuits.
Unless, of course, anyone out there knows different…

Well it seems like winter is finally here, making its first real appearance of the new year this evening.
It was a high of 45 degrees today, but tomorrow it's supposed to only get up to 25, with a low of 16. Brrr! I guess it's time to get out the snow boots, sweaters and gloves. We have been spoiled with spring like weather for weeks now, feeling more like April than the beginning of January!
Little Tebow was just as confused as we were!
With the chill in the air, a hot dinner was definitely on the agenda. I love taking recipe ideas from magazines and adapting ingredients and cooking styles to my preferences. This recipe comes from the Chicken with Brussels Sprouts and Mustard Sauce in Cooking Light's December 2011 issue.
Mustard Chicken with Brown Rice
Chicken Ingredients
3-4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
extra virgin olive oil
1 cup chicken broth
1 teaspoon honey
2 tablespoons stone ground mustard
1 tablespoon butter
salt and pepper
Rice Ingredients
1 3/4 cup chicken broth
2 cups rice
Chicken Directions
1) Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
2) Heat pan over high heat, then lightly drizzle olive oil around the pan.
3) Salt and pepper both sides of chicken and add to pan. Cover and cook 4-5 minutes each side until browned.
4) Remove chicken and place on oven-safe baking rack. Place baking pan under rack to catch drippings.
5) Bake at 425 degrees for 12-20 minutes, depending on thickness of chicken.
6) While chicken is baking whisk into chicken pan 1 cup broth, mustard, butter, and honey. Bring to boil, then let simmer on low for 10 minutes.
7) Optional – When chicken is finished, broil for 1-2 minutes until browned. I love my chicken crispy and brown, just my preference!
Rice Directions
1) Bring chicken broth to a boil.
2) Add 2 cups of rice and bring to boil.
3) Move heat to low, cover and simmer for 5 minutes.
4) Move from heat and let sit for 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork.
Build your plate with chicken and drizzle sauce over the top. Serve alongside rice and a vegetable side, such as our frozen and microwaved green beans.
Questions for the Readers
1) What is the weather like where you are? Do you want the winter season, or would you happily skip to spring?
2) I serve my meals on smaller plates than my husbands to watch my portion sizes. What tricks do you use to keep yourself in check?

We already know the Nokia 808 PureView has an amazing camera. It even managed to beat a micro four-thirds camera in our blind test from a while ago. We are still blown by the result of the experiment by the Swedish video professional Christopher Westerholm, who gave the cameraphone a even more advanced task – replacing a cinematic camera.
He ended up with an impressive 120-second video showcasing what the Nokia 808 PureView is capable of when in the hands of a someone who knows what he's doing.
Check the test footage Christopher made for an upcoming project of his. Make sure you watch it in full HD.
Here's how the Swede got these amazing shots.
I did a "Flat picture" profile in the phone by dialing down contrast, saturation and sharpness and underexposed some of the scenes to protect highlights. I also used a mattebox, and 4'4 polarizing, and for some of the brighter scenes a 4'4 ND filter 0.9. I later upscaled the footage in premiere pro to later crop it for 1:2.35 aspect ratio. I color-corrected quite heavily, because I think I pushed the contrast a little bit to much so it all looked very flat.
Impressive indeed and I can't wait for him to publish the full video of his project once it's ready.
Thank you, Christopher, for sending this in!

1. The five planets, that is, Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, Venus, Mercury, are either matutine, vespertine, occiduales (setting), or absconsae (hidden, i.e., by the Sun's rays). These the Greeks call afaneis (hidden), synodicae (in conjunction with the Sun), or acronyctae (at nightfall). How they came to have such characteristics and why they are given their names we shall now explain. Matutine planets are those which in their rising precede the Sun. Vespertine or evening planets are those which in rising follow the rising of the Sun. Absconsae, or hidden ones, are those which the Sun's orb conceals (heliacal rising). Acronyctae are those which rise when the sun sets.
2. When these positions of the planets are favorable and when they are harmful we shall deal with in the later books, for we have not brought this up without a reason. To sum up, however, it should be stated that nearness to the Sun is harmful to all planets. Certain astrologers, however, claim that Mars is favorable when setting, when he is overwhelmed by the rays of the Sun, for in being subservient to the Sun he loses his natural malefic qualities.
3. We must also know in what conditions the matutine star rejoices and in what the vespertine star rejoices, for they are protected in a favorable position whenever they precede the Sun. Some planets located with a morning rising rejoice in company with the Sun. For the divine power of the Sun is protected by very favorable influences whenever he is accompanied by the morning rising of planets. But those planets become weakened whenever they follow after the Sun in an evening rising. Those placed in the light of the Moon are protected by its greatest influence when in any aspect they precede its rising.
4. We must further show what is effected by a combination of rising planets in a chart when the planets become matutine, when they are vespertine, and how many degrees of distance from the Sun it takes to make a planet matutine.

Our Rocky Mountains scene has gone through a redesign and has been turned this into a Route 66 gallery!
Driving is an integral part of our culture. It is woven into the fabric of our history and is evidence of changing times. An iconic stretch of roadway, Route 66, plays both an emotional and historical reference in American transportation history. Highlighting the gallery redesign are objects from the AACA Museum's collection including Native American artifacts from the Cammack Collection and authentic porcelain driving symbols and signs beckoning drivers to rest or view artifacts from by-gone eras.
This promises to be one of our most popular exhibits, allowing the memories to flood back for those who lived Route 66 in its prime, and to allow those who missed the era to experience a piece of history.
We're grateful for the response in support of this project to date and future contributions to this project, donations are always greatly appreciated.
The Museum is fortunate to have the assistance of the Cammack Supporting Organization, Hersha Hospitality Management and Toni Rothman, in memory of her husband David S.G. Rothman – a longtime friend of the Museum. We thank all who have donated to make this project a reality.

When Kinder Morgan decided that it wanted to expand its pipeline capacity from Alberta to Vancouver, it had to get approval from the National Energy Board in Canada. So the company did what any self-respecting oil corporation would do when faced with unwelcome regulation: say something so audacious that no one could possibly find fault with your argument. And so, in a statement to the board, Kinder Morgan argued that oil spills actually have a positive effect on the areas that they impact.
Image via Ingrid Taylar
According to the Edmonton Journal, Kinder Morgan said that "Pipeline spills can have both positive and negative effects on local and regional economies, both in the short and long-term. Spill response and cleanup creates business and employment opportunities for affected communities, regions, and cleanup service providers." What a fantastic solution for areas with high unemployment – just spill more oil!
Related: Report: President Obama Likely to Reject Keystone XL Pipeline
The company went on to helpfully clarify that the overall positivity of an oil spill really depends on the size and extent of the spill and "the associated demand for cleanup services and personnel, the capacity of local and regional businesses to meet this demand, the willingness of local businesses and residents to pursue response opportunities."
Unsurprisingly, some government representatives weren't convinced by the logic. "We know Kinder Morgan is using every trick in the book to push this pipeline through our community, but this takes the cake — proposing that a spill would actually be good for the local economy," said Kennedy Stewart, MP for Burnaby-Douglas. But Kinder Morgan might be on to something. Maybe we should start thanking tornadoes for being such exceptional job creators.

Muffin Tin Monday, Now Serving Buttons!
Right now our muffin tin is being used for sorting my extensive button collection by color. This is a little harder than sorting the heart erasers as they come in different sizes, shapes, and shades. She still needs my help from time to time. I'm amazed by how long she'll work on this. Tomorrow, I'll share how we use the erasers and/or buttons for counting and 1:1 correspondence practice.

PrimeSource estimated to be worth more than $800 million
By Curtis Sprung
Private equity firm Platinum Equity will acquire PrimeSource Building Products, announced PrimSource parent company Itouchu in a March 27 press release. The deal, which has not yet been completed, is expected to be finalized later in the second quarter of this year.
With the growth of the housing market in the United States, the valuation of PrimeSource has increased in recent years. ITOCHU began publicly seeking a buyer in November of 2014, and recent estimates of the deal place the value of PrimeSource at above $800 million.
PrimeSource is the largest distributor of screws and nails in the United States and has 42 distribution centers and 1,200 employees in the U.S. Platinum Equity is a California based private equity firm.

Easy at Home Nail Art 20 – The Full Moon and Half Moon Dance with StrawHi lovely people, this is nail art for the post swap I did for Daniela from Why Only For Parties . She did the Striping Tape Nail Art for Beginners while I did this for her. She really liked my 'Go Raw With Straw' nail art , so I decided to recreate the same (actually this is better version than what I did for my blog :P ) and thank God for that!
Now, this is super easy and fun nail art. I am huge fan of nail art and even greater fan of nail art with household items. For this nail art all you need is straws (and of course nail paints). To be honest, I did not even use them :P. I had bought nail art brushes long back and I am very careful with their packing. I put the brushes back in the pack every time I use it :) To cover the bristles of the brushes, each brush has a cap/cover kind of thing which is open from both ends. They are like straws cut to 1 cm size and inserted on the top of each brush. So, I actually used one of them and didn't even waste a straw: P (see how smart I am – well that's what I told my husband at least :D ). Now, I am big story teller so I am literally stopping myself coming to the nail art :)
Click here to read more. You could find many more fantastic nail art by Daniela at her blog :)

Father's Day
Father's Day is coming up, that time of year where you buy a cheeky pair of socks, a bland tie or something completely random picked by a small child for the father figures in your lives. Don't they deserve better than that for all that they do? Surely this year is the year to trash the boring present trend and break out into the world of creating new fun Father's Day traditions.
This week we have asked a few UK bloggers what they think dads really want this Father's Day. The answers were quite surprising: they were all outdoors and not a single bland tie in sight! In fact it was all morse code, fishing and den building. WE LOVE IT!
Laura from Tired Mummy of Two said:
"We try and do something brand new that we can learn together on Father's Day. My husband is a bit of a geek and loves anything outdoorsy. He wants to learn Morse Code, go fishing or do orienteering this year, something that my girls aren't overly keen on but hopefully we can make it fun for everyone whichever we do"
The Flights of Fancy Morse Code set might be a great start to Laura's Father's Day preparation. It is a sure fire way to get a smile out of her Morse Code loving husband and get him and the kids learning something new together. You're welcome Laura.
Donna from What The Redhead Said
"I think the children's dad would really like something thoughtful rather than material - a lay in, breakfast in bed and some quality family time. He would love a nice meal too!
Alice from Life As Alice said:
"We have a tradition where we do something outdoors for Father's Day, whether it's a theme park or a long walk, we just get outside all together. This year we have decided we are going to do Den Building in a forest. It is something none of us have done together and that Hoff (my husband, their dad) used to do as a kid. If all else fails and it rains we'll just build a blanket fort indoors instead, same thing just less washing".
With that awesome idea in mind, thanks Alice, if you fancy doing something similar with your family, we checked out Pinterest and found this brilliant Den Building infographic which gives a step by step guide.
Let us know what you are planning for Father's Day this year on our social media pages; we'd love to see what you're getting up to. Join us on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

How to Stop Ringworm Outbreaks
Although ringworm has nothing to do with actual worms, it is still not a very pleasant condition to have. Ringworm is a skin infection caused by fungus and creates scaly patches of skin that sometimes are circular and resemble the shape of a ring. This condition is highly contagious and spreads easily. Although it is difficult to avoid ringworm entirely, preventing the spread of this infection is possible.
If you are experiencing serious medical symptoms, seek emergency treatment immediately.
Stop sharing. Despite Kindergarten teacher claims, sharing is not always a good idea, especially when ringworm is involved. Sharing shoes, clothes, towels, pillows, blankets or personal items like hairbrushes, combs or makeup brushes can spread ringworm and should be avoided, especially when there is a confirmed case of ringworm, explains Aetna Intelihealth.
Keep skin and hair clean and dry. Frequent washing the skin and hair will rid the skin of the fungus that causes ringworm, but thoroughly drying off after washing is just as crucial. Since ringworm is most likely to develop in areas of the body that are warm or moist, and especially in between toes, under the breasts and in between rolls of fat, it is important to keep these areas as dry as possible.
Keep personal items clean and dry. Spend extra time cleaning personal items like sheets, bedding, pillowcases, clothing, socks, shoes, towels, washcloths, hairbrushes, combs and makeup brushes thoroughly every day if a confirmed case of ringworm is in the area. In addition, thoroughly dry each item after cleaning before using it again.
Keep shared living spaces clean and dry. Clean and dry all bathrooms, floors, counter-tops and shared items on a regular basis to prevent ringworm from spreading. When a person who has recently used the area becomes infected, spend extra time disinfecting the area with bleach or other anti-fungal cleaners and then dry the area. In a daycare or school setting, also clean, disinfect and dry all toys, books and other items shared by the children.
Avoid touching the areas infected with ringworm on others. This includes pets and animals, since ringworm can pass from animals to humans, explains Medline Plus. If direct contact is necessary, thoroughly wash and dry hands or other areas of the body that came in direct contact with the infected person or animal afterward. In a school or daycare setting, it may be beneficial to have the infected child stay home until starting treatment or to limit contact with other children who may become infected to avoid an outbreak, suggests the parenting website BabyCenter.com.
Treat the ringworm. Promptly treating the ringworm will also prevent it from spreading to others. Many over-the-counter medications are available for this purpose. Examples of these over-the-counter medications include clotrimazole and tolnaftate. The medications miconazole and terbinafine are available over-the-counter and also in in prescription-strength formulas. For cases of severe ringworm, a prescription anti-fungal medication may be necessary. Examples of prescription medications for ringworm include butenafine, ciclopirox, econazole, oxiconazole, itraconazole, fluconazole and ketoconazole, according to the Mayo Clinic.
At the gym, use sandals or flip-flops to protect the feet from the fungus that may be present on the floors of the locker room.
Natural fabrics like cotton or wool generally allow the skin to "breathe" better, so items made with natural fabrics are preferable over those made of synthetic fabrics.
If ringworm persists after a couple weeks of self-treatment, contact a doctor.

'Scary Stories To Tell in The Dark' Will Eat Your Soul On The Big Screen!!!by Red Zeppelbon on Nov 17th, 2014
Hey guys, Jana here,
The reading you do as a child shapes your literary preferences for the rest of your life. In my mind, I settled the prairie with Laura Ingalls Wilder, I watched 'Tip and Mitten' sit and stay and had 'Fun With Dick and Jane'. I adventured with 'The Mouse and the Motorcycle', chose my own adventure (Which, btw is the format Neil Patrick Harris uses for his autobiography released last month, it's great fun and a great read), I felt brave as I read R.L. Stine's chiller's which gave me the confidence to pick up Stephen King in later years. No matter what you grew to love to read, there was one series that stood out from the rest , 'Scary Stories To Tell In The Dark' by Alvin Schwartz with illustrations by Stephen Gammell took a heroic measure of nerve.
Geared towards highly impressionable minds that were already hearing bumps in the night, this iconic series told stories that were based on folk tales and urban legends that creeped into our subconscious thought and never quite went away. That was my experience with the trio of books, at least. CBS Films has invested in a new scribe to spin the tales. John August ('Big Fish') seems like a good fit for the dark and somber tone that will make these stories jump alive on screen. August has a background writing for Tim Burton which only makes his involvement more enticing as Burton is the mack daddy of dark and somber.
The feature length film will be produced by Sean Daniel and Jason Brown of Sean Daniel Company and Elizabeth Grave of 1212 Entertainment are producing, while Roberto Grande and Joshua Long will exec produce. Mark Ross and Alex Ginno are overseeing the project for CBS Films.
