Engaged with my guests fantastically, dealt with the odd one that had the extra drink or two without batting an eyelid. We're all still left wondering how he performed the tricks right in front of us. Would I recommend? Without hesitation. If I need a magician for another event, he'll be the first one I contact.

In this TMO video podcast, Bryan Chaffin and John Kheit ask the question, "Is Augmented Reality for reals?" They also take the tact that analysts suck, and building on that theme, debate John's theory on why software seems to suck today. For the pop part of the show, they look at Blade Runner and Blade Runner 2049. If you enjoy the show, make sure you subscribe to it! (WARNING NSFW: PROFANITY & RANTS)
The Best Way to Read Blade Runner is a Graphic Novel
Blade Runner was an amazing interpretation of Philip K. Dick's Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep, and the the best way we've found to read the book is in graphic novel format. Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep Omnibus collects the 24 issues that made up the series, and it's absolutely beautiful. This interpretation includes the book's full text with art that feels like it's from the movie plus essays from Warren Ellis, Matt Fraction, and more. It costs US$ $35.99 on Amazon and is a great way to read the original story that inspired Blade Runner and Blade Runner 2049.

South County got its wet wish over the last few days. And then some.
A long-awaited storm system dropped more than four inches of rain on the region from Wednesday through Sunday, finally bringing moisture to a region suffering through its driest winter in more than two decades.
But despite some scattered showers Monday morning, it's likely back to dry times for South County – at least until February, according to the National Weather Service.
"It's pretty much over. At this point, it looks like it's probably going to be dry the rest of the month," said Austin Cross, a meteorologist based in Monterey. "Unfortunately, it looks like we're getting back into that persistent dry pattern we had for much of January."
There should be some patchy fog today and Wednesday, but after that, it's sunshine and highs near the mid-60s for the rest of the week, according to a National Weather Service forecast.
The Santa Clara County Sheriff's Department responded to four reports of downed trees and road debris in South County over the weekend, including Hecker Pass Highway at Rancho Vista Drive and along Santa Teresa Boulevard near Gavilan College, Sgt. Jose Cardoza said.
Rain may have played a factor in the estimated 20 crashes in South County, five of which were on U.S. 101 near Morgan Hill, according to the California Highway Patrol. There were no reported fatalities, and no major injuries. Only one crash resulted in a minor injury.
Deputies also were dispatched to several homes for false alarms caused by heavy winds, Cardoza said. The Sheriff's department assisted with five traffic accidents in which the slick roadways played a part, three along State Highway 152 near Gilroy.
Cardoza said South County residents should reduce their speeds when driving during stormy weather and report any roadway debris, downed power lines or other hazards as soon as they encounter them.
According to Morgan Hill resident Chris Henry, a local weather enthusiast, 4.9 inches of rain fell on Morgan Hill last weekend, ending an almost eight-week dry spell.
Temperatures were mostly in the 50s throughout the weekend, Cross said – a change from the lows of 29 degrees that hit the second week of January.
Last year at this time, 11.77 inches of rain had fallen, compared with 7.9 inches so far this rainy season.
Although the rest of the valley didn't see strong winds (of more than 20 mph), the nearby Santa Cruz mountains saw gusts reach 40 to 50 miles per hour Friday night.
Tuesday: Calm winds; high 61 degrees, low 38
Wednesday: High 66 degrees, low 40 degrees
Thursday: Mostly cloudy; high 66 degrees, low 39 degrees
Friday: Sunny; high 62 degrees, low 37 degrees
Saturday: Sunny; high 63 degrees, low 38 degrees

Jay-Z/Linkin Park mash-up tops the album chart. ''Collision Course'' dethrones U2 and beats new releases by Kelly Clarkson and Nas
Mash-ups aren't just for desktop DJs and copyright-infringing miscreants anymore. Proof that they've gone legit comes with the No. 1 debut on the Billboard album chart of Collision Course, the MTV-orchestrated collection of mash-ups of Jay-Z and Linkin Park tracks. It sold 368,000 copies according to SoundScan, continued Jay-Z's unbroken string of No. 1 debuts, and prompted MTV to announce it'll air five more MTV Ultimate Mash-Ups specials in 2005 that will generate albums from similarly unlikely couplings of artists.
Collision dethroned U2 from its weeklong reign atop the chart, as How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb dropped to second place on sales of 288,000. It also outdistanced three other new releases in the top 10. Kelly Clarkson's Breakaway saw the first American Idol champ enter the chart at No. 3 on sales of 250,000. Onetime Jay-Z rival Nas saw his Street's Disciple debut in fifth place, selling 232,000 copies. Atlanta rapper T.I. sold 193,000 copies of Urban Legend to finish at No. 7.
Other top 10 discs saw their sales fall by about 50 percent this week. Eminem's Encore dipped from No. 2 to No. 4 and sold another 248,000 copies. Shania Twain's Greatest Hits dropped three places to No. 6. NOW That's What I Call Music! Vol. 17 slipped two slots to No. 8. Destiny's Child's Destiny Fulfilled and Toby Keith's Greatest Hits 2 fell five notches each, landing at No. 9 and No. 10, respectively.

Georgina Townsend has never behaved like a "proper" lady. Her family accuses her of being impulsive, sometimes to the point of recklessness. And they must be right. Because when a band of Highland outlaws steals Georgina's late mother's music box, instead of letting the proper authorities take care of the matter, she disguises herself as a Highland lass and joins the group of outlaws to find the stolen item. She certainly doesn't plan on falling for their charming leader…
Malcolm Stewart has never met a more bold and captivating woman than the mysterious lass who suddenly shows up to join his small band of outlaws. But while she fits in easily, she's more distracting than he expected. When he returned from the war to find his life destroyed, Mal decided to get revenge on the Highland landlords, whom he blames for the death of his family. Falling in love isn't part of that plan—especially not with the sister of one of the very landlords he's sworn to fight against.
Each book in the Townsends series is STANDALONE:* Enchanting the Earl* The Rogue's Conquest* A Scot's Surrender* Claiming the Highlander's Heart
~~Reviewed by Bonnie~~
Georgina Townsend lives at Llynmore Castle, the home of her brother, Theo and his family. She arrives home to find that they've been robbed, and one of the items stolen was her music box, the only keepsake she has left of her mother. Apparently, Georgina has many connections because she's able to find out who the thieves are, and where to find them. She concocts a story to explain her absence and sets off to infiltrate the gang of thieves and to retrieve her stolen treasure.
Malcolm Stewart went off to war, only to return to find he lost everything, including his family. In order to enact his revenge, and quite frankly, just to survive, he became the leader of a band of robbers who steal only from the wealthy. When they are approached by a mysterious lady who wants to join their group, they put her to the test, then readily accept her when she passes.
Surprisingly, Georgina fits right in with the group, and she and Malcolm grow especially close. She even nurses him through a severe injury, and he makes a gift to her of her very own music box. When the time comes that Georgina knows she has to return home, or her brother will realize her cover story was a sham, she sneaks away, taking a piece of Malcolm's heart with her. Though he initially has no intention of making any attempt to find Georgina, he can't resist tracking her down.
Ironically, Malcolm's arrival in Georgina's sphere coincides with the planned arrival date of the new school teacher, who seemingly has disappeared. Malcolm impersonates the school teacher while playing a bit of cat and mouse with Georgina, while he tries to ferret out the truth of what her game was. Though very wary of each other, the attraction Malcolm and Georgina feel only grows stronger.
Many of the scenarios in this story were kind of far-fetched, so I just had to suspend disbelief, and go along for the ride. It's unlikely a proper lady would have enough connections to identify and locate a band of robbers and have the skills to join their group. Even more unlikely that they would welcome a stranger, especially a woman, into their gang without hesitation. Then you have to consider a how a lady could simply disappear from her family for an extended period without questions. In spite of these conundrums, I found that I was totally enjoying the story.
I loved seeing Malcolm fumble his way into being a successful teacher, and coming to realize that he may have a future that doesn't have to include being a criminal. When we learn that Georgina has a couple of physical issues, one that would actually preclude what is usually considered a "normal" sex life, Malcolm's reaction is totally swoon-worthy. This couple can definitely generate steam! CLAIMING THE HIGHLANDER'S HEART is an unusual and passionate read that pushes the boundaries of believability as far as the situations go, but definitely touches all the right emotional places.

How one blonde's ambition hit a few hurdles
When the athletes stride out at London's Olympic Games a year from now, Jessica Ennis will be at the heart of British hopes, dreams and media attention.
It is appropriate, then, that as she prepares for a training session at the English Institute of Sport in Sheffield she looks like a circus ringmaster able to point to not one daring act but seven while her audience gasp at the wonders that are her armpits.
Stood inside the boundary of the indoor 200-metre track, the world heptathlon champion can turn right and practise hurdles, turn left and head for the sandpit or lie down and condition her muscles for the javelin. Her juggler is Toni Minichiello. Perhaps her coach thinks he is the lion tamer and…

Dahlia Platinum Blonde
Product Description
Dahlia 'Platinum Blonde'
Note: We are taking a break from selling dahlias in order to build up our mother stock of tubers and to improve the process for our customers and our farm crew. Learn more about our decision and the future of Floret dahlias.
We're continuing to research and experiment with different ways to share dahlias with other flower lovers. Until we are able to offer dahlia tubers again, we have compiled a list of our favorite dahlia suppliers.
One of the most unusual varieties we grow, flowers resemble double flowered echinacea. Each fuzzy buttercream center on this 4 inch anemone-shaped bloomer is surrounded by a ring of bright white petals. Loved by designers, the long-stemmed flowers are great for wedding work and last well in the vase. Plants bloom abundantly all season long.
Flower type: anemone
Height: 4-5'
Site: full sun
Days to maturity: 80-100 days
Plant spacing: 12-18"
Pinch: when plants are 12" tall
Harvesting/Vase Life:
Cut when blooms are ¾ of the way open, but not overly ripe. To do this, check the back of each flower head, looking for firm and lush petals versus papery or slightly dehydrated ones. Place into water with hydrator, or sear stem ends by placing into 160-180° water and allow to cool for 1 hour. Blooms will last 5-6 days.

I've managed to sneak in some crafting time here in Redmond, OR to make a little something for a tiny, sweet-smelling, chubby-toed little one-month-old today. Grandma B was generous enough to let me raid her amazing vintage fabric stash and Tutu kindly lent me her trusty kenmore sewing machine. I learned to sew on a kenmore that's older than I am so know they can be a little persnickety. When I first sat down there was quite a bit of tension between us, but we managed to iron out our differences (sorry - couldn't help the puns. I blame my father-in-law's influence rubbing off on me).
Anyway, I will post pics once we're back home and reunited with our camera-to-computer-cable-thingy which we forgot to bring (along with about 27 other semi-necessary but forgotten things). And since this post is without pics, I'll leave you with the image of my sweet children frolicking in the clean, crisp air aside their little farm buddies...and wait...what's that?...4-year-old Max and Holden urinating side by side in the flowerbeds. Gotta love the farm!
Over the hills and through the high desert....

Your farm holiday sounds like fun. Lucky you for getting to fossick through the vintage stash - no doubt you found some lovely things. My 90 year old Grandmother passed away a few months ago and my Mum gave me some of her stash (she even had some fabric remnants of a little dress she made me in 1968!) including some vintage cotton reels, beautiful buttons etc. Precious treasure!

Thursday, 12 May 2016 02:53 PM
The one-day auction of George Zimmerman's pistol had been scheduled to start at 11 a.m. EST (1500 GMT), with a minimum price of $5,000. Representatives for the website, GunBroker.com, did not respond to questions about why the listing was removed and whether the weapon had been sold.
In the listing, Zimmerman had described the Kel Tec 9mm pistol as "a piece of American history," and he told a local television station it was his to do with as he pleased, despite receiving death threats over his plan to sell it.
"What I've decided to do is not cower," he told Orlando broadcaster WOFL. "I'm a free American. And I can do what I like with my possessions."
Zimmerman said the U.S. Department of Justice recently returned to him the gun he had used to kill the unarmed Martin on Feb. 26, 2012.
Zimmerman was acquitted of second-degree murder and manslaughter charges in the incident, which sparked civil rights rallies and brought scrutiny of Florida's controversial "stand your ground" law.
The law allows a potential crime victim who is "in fear of great bodily injury" to use deadly force in their home or in public places. It also says they have no obligation to retreat.
Zimmerman, who was a neighborhood watch volunteer at the time, has maintained that the shooting was in self-defense. Martin's family said the teenager was simply passing through the residential area on his way home from a convenience store.
President Barack Obama said after Zimmerman's acquittal that Martin "could have been me, 35 years ago" and urged Americans to understand the pain African Americans felt over the case.
Daryl Parks, a lawyer for Martin's family, said the offer to sell the weapon was offensive, but that the family remained focused on their work advocating against gun violence.
"It shouldn't be a distraction to what we're doing," Parks, who is also chairman of the Trayvon Martin Foundation, said in a phone interview.
Another spokesman for the family's lawyers, Ryan Julison, said they had not reached out to the auction website, and had no idea why the listing was pulled.
"George Zimmerman" quickly became the top trending term on Twitter in the United States on Thursday, with many users on the social media site expressing shock and revulsion.
"The only people worse than George Zimmerman are the people who bid on that gun," tweeted journalist and columnist Lyz Lenz.
National Review columnist Charles C. W. Cooke said Zimmerman "may have acted legally, but the man is a sociopath."
On the auction site, Zimmerman said he planned to use part of the proceeds to fight Black Lives Matter, a movement that grew out of the incident, as well as to counter "violence against law enforcement officers."
Proceeds would also go towards fighting Democratic presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton's "anti-firearm rhetoric," he said.
"I am honored and humbled to announce the sale of an American firearm icon. The firearm for sale is the firearm that was used to defend my life and end the brutal attack from Trayvon Martin," Zimmerman wrote on the site.
The number from the Martin case is written on the pistol in silver permanent marker. The auction listing included a photo of the gun being held up in court by a law enforcement officer during Zimmerman's murder trial.
Zimmerman claimed in the description that many parties had expressed interest "in owning and displaying the firearm, including The Smithsonian Museum in Washington D.C."
The Smithsonian refuted this in a post on Twitter, saying it had never expressed interest in the gun, and had "no plans to ever collect or display it in any museums."
In a phone interview with Orlando's WOFL on Wednesday, Zimmerman dismissed criticism of the auction.
"They're not going to be bidding on it, so I couldn't care less about them," he said.

But the newly added title hit, almost as irresistibly Memphis-cum-disco-with-a-hook as hubby's "Rock Your Baby," transforms it into more warm wax, tuff enuff to make you wonder what ever happened to soul music.

(FT) — Google has launched an artificial intelligence tool that identifies abusive comments online, helping publishers respond to growing pressure to clamp down on hate speech.
Google's freely available software, known as Perspective, is being tested by a range of news organisations, including The New York Times, The Guardian and The Economist, as a way to help simplify the jobs of humans reviewing comments on their stories.
"News organisations want to encourage engagement and discussion around their content, but find that sorting through millions of comments to find those that are trolling or abusive takes a lot of money, labour and time," said Jared Cohen, president of Jigsaw, the Google social incubator that built the tool.
"As a result, many sites have shut down comments altogether. But they tell us that isn't the solution they want."
Currently, the software is available to a range of publications that are part of Google's Digital News Initiative, including the BBC, the Financial Times, Les Echos and La Stampa, and theoretically to third-party social media platforms including YouTube, Twitter and Facebook.

"We are open to working with anyone from small developers to the biggest platforms on the internet. We all have a shared interest and benefit from healthy online discussions," said CJ Adams, product manager at Jigsaw.
Perspective helps to filter abusive comments more quickly for human review. The algorithm was trained on hundreds of thousands of user comments that had been labelled as "toxic" by human reviewers, on sites such as Wikipedia and the New York Times.
It works by scoring online comments based on how similar they are to comments tagged as "toxic" or likely to make someone leave a conversation.
"All of us are familiar with increased toxicity around comments in online conversations," Mr Cohen said. "People are leaving conversations because of this, and we want to empower publications to get those people back."

NASL might pose a threat to MLS on TV
As I walked among supporters group members before the Orlando City against Portland game, which was televised live on FOX Sports 1 last weekend, I was quite surprised. From speaking with fans, I learned many had opted to watch the previous night's North American Soccer League (NASL) matchup between Fort Lauderdale and Miami on beIN SPORTS instead of paying any attention to MLS games going on at the very same time. It made me think what might be happening because MLS has vacated Saturday night national broadcasts. Instead, MLS continues to charge a premium for fans to watch games not nationally televised by only offering MLS Live.
The NASL, despite being an officially sanctioned second division by the US Soccer Federation (USSF), created quite a splash less than two weeks ago by securing national TV deals with CBS Sports Network and beIN SPORTS. The respective packages give the league, which aspires to challenge Major League Soccer (MLS), exposure to American soccer fans and casual sports that no other "minor" league gets in the United States. At the same time, the third-division USL has made their product more accessible than ever with live YouTube streams of every game, which means the type of buffering and camera issues we once saw from clubs at that level are now no more. In contrast, MLS charges $79.99 a year for access to its MLS Live package, which gives fans access to streams and telecasts of out-of-market and non-national TV games (see our review of MLS Live).
This TV/streaming competition in the American marketplace is good for the growth of the sport but poses a challenge to MLS. The top-flight US-based league has long operated in a vacuum where they were the only domestic product significantly promoted on TV. But in recent years, the popularity of European-based club soccer has surged on American television while no comparable growth has been recorded by MLS. Meanwhile, MLS now faces a plucky rival in NASL, who is determined to create its own niche in the market and perhaps even overtake the more established first division league.
Let's take this past Saturday evening for example when considering MLS' new-found dilemma.
Having aired a live game on Friday night via UniMas and being locked into "Soccer Sunday" on ESPN and FS1, MLS no longer shows live matches on national television in the United States on Saturday. When MLS announced the revamped and improved television package for the 2015-2022 time period in late 2014, NASL posed little threat in terms of the macro soccer landscape, but in the fluid word of American soccer, things change quickly.

Lurch sat at the bar and surveyed the customers. That was the problem with small towns, he thought. You knew everybody and everybody knew you.
In Chicago, he'd wear shorts to show his prosthetic leg and the barflies would naturally assume he was a veteran. He never actually claimed this status, but he didn't discourage it. He wore dog tags and BDU shorts and boots. In some Chicago bars, he seldom had to buy a drink.
But everybody here knew he'd lost the leg jumping off a train. "Dare me," he'd said.
He'd been drunk, of course.
Then and now.

Surprise Aerobatics Flight for Friend
"Took my mate up for an aerobatics flight. He mentioned he's a tad scared of flying. Turn your volume up for the best effect. Just to answer some common questions: 1. The aircraft is an Alpha 160a 2. We're flying out of Christchurch, New Zealand 3. The reason we went on the flight was to try and help Josh confront his fear of flying. It seems to have helped somewhat - he certainly wasn't as jumpy on the way back in =) 4. There is no requirement to wear a parachute in NZ 5. We get it. I look like Chandler Bing and Josh looks like Neville Longbottom."

Housing is a national and a local priority, but building homes anywhere is always a challenge. Chelgate Local supports projects across the housing spectrum from large scale private development to regenerating town centres. Working with national housebuilders, leading housing associations and planning consultants, we have promoted new home schemes across London and the Home Counties, the South East, East Anglia and the East Midlands.
Our programmes run from targeted political engagement, through to full programmes of awareness, consultation, engagement and stakeholder mobilisation.
Some of our more recent projects include:
Scape Living, Guildford, Surrey
The proposed development was for around 400 student rooms and a block of 85 co-living rooms for non-students in the centre of Guildford. Chelgate assisted with local community and political engagement. Co-living is a new concept, providing flexible, communal housing for young people which they would not otherwise have access to. Locating it next to student accommodation, with people of a similar age, is a logical approach which has attracted significant interest. The project achieved consent in 2018.
Britannia Road, High Halstow, Kent
A development of 68 on the edge of High Halstow, a village on the Hoo Peninsular in Kent for Redrow South East. Chelgate assisted with detailed political and community engagement including comprehensive canvassing around the site and engagement with health and education. The project gained consent from Medway Council in 2018.
Victoria Road, Chelmsford, Essex
This project saw Chelgate Local support Bellway in their regeneration of the former Royal Mail sorting office into over 200 new apartments, commercial units, a pocket park and highway improvements in the heart of Chelmsford city.
Chelgate led on the successful political and community engagement for the scheme, liaising with councillors, residents and local businesses to refine and improve the proposals. The project is now set to be considered by Chelmsford City Council before the end of 2018.
Springfield Mill, Maidstone, Kent
The regeneration a former paper factory to create a residential oasis in the heart of the town. The Whatman paper factory, originally established some 300 years ago, once employed over 1,000 people: it is an integral part of the history of paper-making. Redrow South East proposed a development of around 200 homes very much in keeping with the history of the site and the existing Listed buildings. Chelgate has assisted with political engagement and local community and stakeholder consultation for this historic site. Planning consent was given in 2018.
Warfield Park, Bracknell Forest, Berkshire
Chelgate assisted with the community and stakeholder engagement for an application for 82 park homes for award-winning Warfield Park, the UK's second largest park home site. The proposed development was to be outside the settlement boundary and in the green belt, which is consistent with current planning regulations. It did, however, attract concerted opposition locally. The project gained planning consent in 2017.
Neopost House, Romford, London Borough of Havering
Chelgate provided Galliard Homes with political and community engagement for a planning application for a development of 123 homes and a health centre in Romford, Havering. Located around the historic Neopost House building, the proposed development will provide three blocks with affordable housing through social rent and shared ownership, as well as green recreation space for families.
Chelgate led on the extensive community and political engagement for the site, generating positive resident feedback and working with local councillors to agree wider improvements to the local area.
Ware Road, Hertford, Hertfordshire
A project to redevelop a former car garage into 34 new homes including 26 apartments and eight houses. The project, for Taylor Wimpey North Thames, was approved by East Hertfordshire District Council in 2016.
Nescot, Epsom, Surrey
Chelgate Local assisted Clarion Housing and Hill Residential with a planning application for a new residential development on land adjacent to Nescot, adjoining Reigate Road and the A24. Epsom and Ewell Council granted planning permission for 91 new homes on the site in 2016.
Elstree Way, Borehamwood, Hertfordshire
A project to redevelop the former Affinity Sutton headquarters building on Elstree Way, Borehamwood, into 88 new luxury apartments. The project, for Taylor Wimpey North Thames, was approved by Hertsmere Council in 2016.

our food
Eggrolls Inc, located in Appleton, Wisconsin, focuses on Hmong eggrolls and popular finger food such as: cabbage rolls, lettuce wraps, pho rolls, fresh spring rolls and more. Our goal is to provide these traditional dishes in a healthier way. We use fresh produce prepared daily. Our meat comes from The Meat Block, a fantastic local meat vendor. We wrap all our eggrolls fresh every day. But the most unique aspect about our eggrolls is that we've found a unique way to bake them instead of deep frying. They're super crispy on the outside and yet, moist and delicious inside; similar to the traditional Hmong eggroll, just healthier. Friendly service, healthier food with fresh ingredients and a fantastic quick service atmosphere are what brings our customers back over and over again! Located next to Walmart, by the Fox River Mall in Appleton.

A few months ago we 'downsized' some of our expenses.
One of those was our internet.
We changed companies and went with the cheapest option they had.
Cheapest = slowest, by the way.
It wasn't dial-up, but it surrrrrre.... seeeemed.... slooooooow.
Anyway, today we upgraded and doubled our speed!
It is so fun to be back in the world of fast internet again!
To celebrate, I decided to upload a video of Tyler! We set up his exersaucer this week and he is loving it! Here he is this evening, doing his thing:

Hightail Falls Galaxy part 2
Hidden Star: Silver Stars in Hightail Falls[edit]
This Hidden Star requires you to collect 30 coins -- but you have nearly the entire level to do so. Make sure to stomp every Goomba you come to for a coin on your way to the first Dash Pepper. On the vertical wall, hit the ? Coin to make some bonus coins appear. The rest of the coins can be found after the first midway point.
Grab these as you make your way across the falling platforms. You can get even more coins (though you'll certainly have enough by this point) on the series of vertical walls after the second midway point. The hungry Luma in need of 30 coins is at the bas of the second-to-last Dash Pepper run.
Feed the Luma and you'll be able to take a launch star to a new planet. This planet is infested with strange creatures. Eat the creatures to nab the silver stars above their heads. Gather all five for the Hidden Star.

Welcome to KIDS FIRST!® NEWS. All articles are by Coalition for Quality Children's
Media unless otherwise noted.
of my favorite parts of my job is meeting up with other people who
have a passion for children and quality film. This month, I had
the pleasure of interviewing Daniel Roebuck and Jim Hanks (see pictured
on left with his wife). Both of these talented actors use their
talent promoting decent film families can enjoy. In my article below,
Roebuck and Hanks tell us what they look for in a script, and why
are they are willing to act in independent films in spite of their
celebrity status.
As I was working
on this magazine, my children were watching a film we received last
year (NAME OF FILM?) while judging the NAPPA awards. The film was
all about bugs and slimy creatures. There is a terrific activity
demonstrated in the film that I and sharing down below in the craft
and activity section. Please let me know what to think of it.
As always, I
welcome your input. If you have comments on titles we have endorsed;
notices of media awards, publications, and products; or suggestions
for articles. . . Please drop me a line.
Christine Pollock,
I promised in
our last newsletter to tell you more about upcoming new releases
that we learned about at the VSDA conference. Here are a few highlights:
First Look Media is releasing "Emmanuel's Gift," narrated
by Oprah Winfrey. If you are born disabled in Ghana, West Africa,
you are likely to be poisoned, or left to die by your family; and
if you are not poisoned or left for dead, you're likely to be hidden
away in a room; and if you're not hidden, you are destined to spend
your lifetime begging on the streets. Of the twenty million people
in Ghana, two million are disabled. This is the story of one disabled
man whose mission - and purpose - is to change all that forever.
We're looking forward to adding this to our Q4 festivals. Also from
First Look is "BJ's Teddy Bear Club and Bible Stories."
GT Media, a
Gaiam Company, is re-releasing their children's storybook collection
in Spanish. Titles included are: "Pocahontas the Legend,"
"Jungle Book," "Beauty and the Beast," "The
Little Mermaid," "Thumbelina," "Cinderella,"
"Aladdin," "Greatest Heroes & Legends of the
Bible," and many more. For more information, go to http://www.goodtimes.com.
Questar has
two important titles they're releasing for which Chairman, Albert
J. Nader, is personally committed. They are "Kids in Danger:
Real Kids, Real Stories, Real Help" and "Teens in Trouble:
Real Kids, Real Stories, Real Help."
is releasing three new titles just in time for back-to-school: "School,"
"Animals," and "Transportation." Each 30 minute
program focuses on a particular theme involving things children
see and know from every day life and engages them in a variety of
activities that encourages fine and gross motor skills, communication
and cognitive skills.
Humongous Entertainment,
one of the leading interactive media producers, is bringing out
a new Backyard Baseball 2007 featuring National League MVP Albert

Temple), loves her somewhat unusual life in the loving care of the

lessons on values, family interactions and problem-solving. The
social generalizations lack cultural or gender sensitivity, and
the characters' argumentative and name-calling would be considered
inappropriate by today's kids' media standards. Great classic piece
that deserves a look. Kid Juror Comments: Most kids thought the
sea captain "baby" scene was funny. Younger ones found
the story too complex to follow. Everyone was wowed by Shirley Temple.
They had never seen her before. DVD. 78 min.; $14.98; Age: 5-10.

Why the Famous Do Children's Films by Christine
L. Pollock
sells. It's a fact that can't be disputed. But when the famous are
in demand for big budget films, how do you get them interested in
independent film? What do they look for in film for their family,
and what does it take to have a celebrity become interested in your
script? According to Daniel
Roebuck (The Fugitive, Agent Cody Banks, Malcolm in the Middle,
Who Stole Santa's Sack and more) and Jim
Hanks (Polar Express, Purgatory
House, Toy Story Racer, and much more), it might be easier
than you think.
Both actors
agree the magic is in the script. According to Hanks, "A good
story is going to attract talent. If you get the right people interested
in the project, producers are more likely to invest in a higher
budget." When it comes to film for children, both Hanks and
Roebuck find that a good moral message entices them. Hanks was attracted
to Purgatory House because he liked what he read. He was
intrigued by the story and the fact it was written by a 14-year-old
girl. As Hanks humorously puts it, "I'm always attracted to
the story first and the fact that I've been hired second."
Hanks is also a firm believer that a children's film must also entertain
the parents. "Otherwise, who's going to take the kids to the
theater?" He asks.
inspiration for acting in children's film comes from his own two
children, Buster (8) and Grace (10). He is dismayed with the messages
promoted by most visual media; messages that promote sexuality,
violence, and an idea that "self preservation is more important
than self-sacrifice." Roebuck enjoys his job as an actor because
he can do something to provide quality media for the children. Currently,
he is working with Jay Leno and Andy Griffith as voices for a film
which will debut later this year. Tentatively titled Who Stole
Santa's Sack, this animated film defies modern trends by promoting
a message of taking care of each other against the odds. The musical
animated tale follows the exciting journey of a young orphan girl,
Sophiana, and her unlikely band of adventurers as they help recover
Santa's magical sack. Throughout her pursuit for the elusive sack,
Sophiana teams up with a feisty elf, an ambitious young reindeer,
and a fox and polar bear duo. In the tradition of The Wizard
of Oz, the young heroine and her allies each discover their
potential for compassion, loyalty and the importance of never losing
hope. Look for this film in theaters during the 2006 holiday season.
Just as we at
KIDS FIRST!® work with producers to provide high quality film for
children, Roebuck encourages viewers and producers to go a step
further and create a demand for these films. As he puts it, "If
people don't support film with traditional values, they could easily
become obsolete." Hanks, the father of a 15-year-old son, summarizes
his thoughts with the statement that he appreciates organizations
such as KIDS FIRST!®, because, "It's certainly nice to have
folks like yourself holding the industry accountable for producing
material suitable for kids."

Every One of us is working hard to earn money to meet daily needs and intend to save for the future. Money doesn't come easy; no matter whether one does a job or a business. Managing and allocating the hard earned money to various expenses like rent, loan, health care, and other utilities is even more tedious. A perfect home budget should be made in such a way that it meets the requirement of every family member, putting asides few pennies as savings. Let us see how to construct an optimal household budget below.
Be aware of the income: The first and easy step is identifying the income that one receives every month. There will be times, one get increment and bonuses. So it is wise to note down every month's pay separately in worksheets, where we are going to keep track of all the other expenses. We can categorize our expenses as fixed and variable. Fixed expenses include paying for debt, rent, fees, bills which remains constant every month. Groceries, money spent on gifts, recreation activities are variable expenses.
Cut down the excess cost: The tentative amount for all the above said expenses should be noted down in the worksheets. If the monthly income is more than the expenditure, the excess amount can be saved in the bank or invested in stocks or asset, with the purpose of getting a good return in later years. If the vice versa happens, we should start cutting down the extra expenses, which is spent on clothes and luxury items and then slight adjustments should be made in variable expenses too depending on how much we lack.
Secondary jobs: Sometimes, it is too difficult to cut down these expenses. In that case, one should look for opportunities for doing home-based secondary jobs like data entry, investing in the share market, cryptocurrency trading and so on. QProfit System is well known among the financial pros and starters in the field of trade for the low investments and high profits it generates. It is advisable to read more about QProfit System before signing up to fully aware of the system and to utilize all the comforts and benefits it offers.
Managing finance is an art. Budgeting actually helps to identify where we stand financially. This, in turn, motivates one to produce extra money, thereby improving the overall financial status of the family.

Earnings Growth Analysis
The company's year-on-year decline in earnings was influenced by a weakening in gross margins from 23.63% to 8.20%, as well as issues with cost controls. As a result, operating margins (EBITDA margins) went from 23.63% to 7.26% in this time frame. For comparison, gross margins were 28.31% and EBITDA margins were 25.83% in the previous period.

Gross Margin Trend
Companies sometimes sacrifice improvements in revenues and margins in order to extend friendlier terms to customers and vendors. Capital Cube probes for such activity by comparing the changes in gross margins with any changes in working capital. If the gross margins improved without a worsening of working capital, it is possible that the company's performance is a result of truly delivering in the marketplace and not simply an accounting prop-up using the balance sheet.
CIG.C-US's decline in gross margins has not produced any significant offsetting improvement in its working capital . This leads Capital Cube to conclude that the decline in gross margins are likely from operating issues and not trade-offs with the balance sheet. Working capital days are currently -70.12 days, compared to last year's level of -74.54 days.

The company's decline in earnings has been influenced by the following factors: (1) Decline in operating margins (EBIT margins) from 19.43% to 3.25% and (2) one-time items that contributed to a decrease in pretax margins from 4.06% to -0.24%
