Following his critically acclaimed film directorial debut on Chicago, audiences and critics were very interested to see what he would come up with next, the result being the lavishly screen adaptation of the best selling novel, Memoirs of a Geisha. Initially renowned as a brilliant choreographer for stage, screen and television, Rob Marshall made the rare transition to film director with his 2002 big-screen adaptation of the 1972 John Kander and Fred Ebb stage musical "Chicago," which became a smashing critical and commercial phenomenon and secured his place among Hollywood's A-list helmers.
Marshall first began making home movies as a youth with his sisters, including a parody of "The Brady Bunch" well before it was en vogue, but dance proved to be his true calling, beginning as a performer and eventually rising to become a dance captain, a choreographer and ultimately a director after he graduated from Carnegie-Mellon University, appearing in shows such as "Cats" and "Zorba." His first choreographic effort on Broadway had him providing additional choreography for "The Kiss of the Spider Woman" (1993)–with music and lyrics by Kander & Ebb and book by Terrence Mann– working with legendary director Hal Prince, choreographer Vincent Patterson and star Chita Rivera. Prince subsequently tapped Marshall to lay down the dance moves for a revival of "Company" (1995), which closed after 60 performances, and production of "The Petrified Prince" at the Public Theater.
Marshall's next big moment came when he choreographed the Tony-award-winning Broadway production of "She Loves Me" (1993), which earned him an Olivier nomination when the show ran in London; and he won major acclaim for his choreography of the 1994 Broadway revival of "Damn Yankees" starring Victor Garber and Bebe Neuwirth, as well the show's subsequent national tour with Jerry Lewis and the London production, which resulted in a second Olivier nomination. Marshall's dance touch also graced the smash 1996 revival of "A Funny Thing Happened On the Way to the Forum" starring Nathan Lane and, later, Whoopi Goldberg; the 1995 stage production of Blake Edwards' "Victor/Victoria" starring Julie Andrews; and an off-Broadway revival of Steven Sondheim's "Roundabout."
Marshall's string of successes on stage attracted the attention of Hollywood, and he was soon tapped to choreograph the dance sequences in lavish musical television productions such as the CBS telepic "Mrs. Santa Claus" (1996) starring Angela Lansbury; ABC's successful all-star TV version of "Rogers & Hammerstein's Cinderella" (1997) starring Brandy Norwood, Whitney Houston, Whoopi Goldberg and Jason Alexander, for which he also did the musical staging; and the Tim Robbins-directed "The Cradle Will Rock" (1998), which told the true story of the government injunction against Marc Blitzstein's 1937 musical of the same name. Back on Broadway in 1998, Marshall made his directorial debut by co-directing (with Sam Mendes) and choreographing the wildly popular revival of Kander and Ebbs' sensation "Cabaret" starring Alan Cumming as the Master of Ceremonies and Natasha Richardson as Sally Bowles. That show won just about every award imaginable, including the Tony, the Drama Desk Award and the Outer-Critics Circle Award. That same year he also helmed the Tony-winning Broadway run of Neil Simon's "Little Me" starring Faith Prince and Martin Short, and "Promises, Promises" for the City Center Encores! Series.
Marshall made a major splash on the small screen with Disney and ABC's ratings-grabbing television adaptation of "Annie" (1999) with Kathy Bates, Victor Garber, Alan Cumming and Kristin Chenoweth, which marked Marshall's first professional foray behind the camera as a director and became the most-viewed TV movie of that year. The Peabody-award winning broadcast also resulted in Marshall winning his own Emmys for best directing and best choreography, and a Director's Guild of America Award nomination.
Hollywood strongly beckoned and, after replacing the original director on the Broadway musical "Suessical" (which he did uncredited, working with the show's choreographer, his sister and former assistant Kathleen) in 2000, he began meeting with movie studio executives looking for his first feature film project. A meeting at Miramax–studio head Harvey Weinstein's children obsessively watched and re-watched "Annie"–in which he was supposed to discuss directing a big-screen version of "Rent" instead found the director pitching a long-dreamed-of ambition, putting "Chicago" on film.
Marshall had earlier directed a well-received Los Angeles production of the musical starring Bebe Neuwirth in 1992 which had earned him a Dramalogue Award. Though there had been several failed efforts to bring the project to the screen since the 1980s involving a revolving door full of talents ranging from Bob Fosse, Larry Gelbart, Nicholas Hytner, Goldie Hawn, Madonna and a pre-"Moulin Rouge" Nicole Kidman, Marshall believed he had the concept that would allow contemporary filmgoers to embrace the inherent unreality of the movie musical: he would keep the music sequences theatrical and showy by making them imaginary figments unfolding in the head of the delusional lead character, Roxie Hart. Miramax agreed and greenlit the film, even before the surprise success of director Baz Luhrmann's "Moulin Rouge" (2001), and Marshall set to work crafting a script with writer-director Bill Condon that veered between fantasy and reality.
Marshall also cannily cast major stars who were proven box office draws-Renee Zellweger, Catherine Zeta-Jones and Richard Gere-but were not known for their musical talents; nevertheless, they had the chops to pull off the demanding numbers. He also populated the supporting roles with highly unconventional choices, including Queen Latifah, John C. Reilly, Taye Diggs and Lucy Liu, which amped up the curiosity factor. But no gimmicks could beat Marshall's remarkably assured direction and whip-smart style, made all the more impressive by the director's grueling three-month, seven-day-a-week schedule. The result was a revelation: a potent, energetic, engaging and highly original film that captured the electricity of Broadway-style dance without sacrificing a theatrical sensibility for cinematic realism. Miramax's risky gamble and Marshall's back-breaking efforts proved fruitful when the film was released in 2002 to gushing critical accolades and strong box office receipts, a ride which resulted in several major awards nominations for Marshall, including an Academy Award nomination, a Directors Guild of America nod and a Golden Globe nomination.
Set in 1929, Memoirs of a Geisha tells of an impoverished nine-year-old sold to a geisha house in Kyoto's Gion district and subjected to cruel treatment from the owners and the head geisha Hatsumomo. Her stunning beauty attracts the vindictive jealousy of Hatsumomo, until she is rescued by and taken under the wing of Hatsumomo's bitter rival, Mameha. Under Mameha's mentorship, she becomes the geisha named Sayuri, trained in all the artistic and social skills a geisha must master in order to survive in her society. As a renowned geisha she enters a society of wealth, privilege, and political intrigue. As World War II looms Japan and the geisha's world are forever changed by the onslaught of history. Garth Franklin spoke to Marshall in New York.
Question: Did you realize what you had done to yourself?
Marshall: You know, it was exciting in a funny way it's scary. It was obviously scary. There I was working with an international group of actors, five of who are making their English language debut. It was an amazing experience. I found that something exists between director and actor sometimes that surpasses or transcends language. Sitting and working with them, I'm very lucky that we had the six weeks of rehearsal that we had because it was during that time that we sort of worked out how this would play. I would be speaking English and it would be translated into Japanese and Chinese in front of me. Many times the actors couldn't speak to each other except in the scene in English. It was extraordinary. But we had the luxury of that rehearsal, and so by the time we got to shooting I felt it was – oddly enough — very natural. I felt we had found our way, and these are the greatest actors really in the world. I have Koji Yakusho, the Al Pacino of Japan, Gong Li, the Meryl Streep of China. I have these great actors and I felt like I was in very safe hands with them.
Question: But after "Chicago", did you feel that pressure or were you just really wanting to bide your time to figure out what would be the best film to see?
Marshall: That's such a good question because after Chicago I wanted to just sort of think, stop for a moment and think what was next, which is exactly what I did. I didn't jump right into something. I felt like what a great opportunity to be in a position where you can make a choice as opposed to something that's chosen for you, and so I chose Geisha because I wanted to challenge myself. I wanted to try something very different. I wanted to challenge myself. I wanted to try something that would scare me but that would hopefully be rewarding ultimately at the end of it all, and this came my way. It's funny how it came – I got the call from Lucy Fisher, Doug Wick and Steven Spielberg, our producers, while I was sort of in the throes of the awards season of Chicago, which was such a surprise to me; I wasn't prepared for that at all. And they were asking me, 'Would you take a look at this" And I didn't really want to look at anything then because I couldn't focus, but they kept sending me bottles of sake and antique print of Geisha and beautiful books, and it was really hard to turn away from it because I thought, 'Wow, this is it, isn't it? This is fantastic.' So it was a combination for me of the world of Geisha and also the story. The central story was very moving to me, about the child who is sold into slavery and must surrender to a life that's very difficult and with a great struggle involved and learns to ultimately find love in a world where love is forbidden to her.
Question: Wasn't there a moment there where you were thinking about directing "Rent"?
Marshall: That was before Chicago. When I went to meet with Miramax about a musical, they had brought me in to talk about Rent. And I said, 'Before we begin this conversation about "Rent" can I tell you what I would do with "Chicago?"' And that turned into a meeting that lasted hours and then I went to Harvey's office and explained how I saw Chicago and that turned into a development deal and into a movie.
Question: Although they are very, very different, both Chicago and Geisha involved rivalries between strong women. Is that a theme you find that you find particularly intriguing or appealing and is it something that we like continue to see as a vocal point in your work?
Marshall: It's interesting you say that because I remember I was in Japan and we were in a Kaburenjo, which is the name of their theater, the Geisha theater, and I was in the basement and they were showing me how a lift worked. And, of course, I remember immediately Catherine Zeta Jones coming out of the floor and how we've done that, and I thought, 'I've traveled halfway across the world to do something completely different and it just dawned on me that I'm doing a movie about rival women in show business again.' But it was obviously in a very different way. That was really sort of a coincidence, although I have to say that something about the fact that Geisha are artists first. The word Geisha means artist and the fact that dance is the highest art that they perform. It's something that I connect to. And the discipline involved, I get. So there is a connection that honestly I didn't really quite make immediately. To me was a totally different palette, which it was, of course, and is. The thing that I look for when I'm looking for what's next and so forth is great story lines. I love working with actresses; I really do. There's something about it that I have a real connection with. It could easily be that I'll find myself doing it again, but hopefully there will be a little variety as well, thank you.
Question: Do you see Geisha as a form of slavery?
Marshall: I found it a very interesting profession. To me it's a combination of beauty and cruelty. It really was both, and that's what I think makes it so fascinating. They really are moving works of art. They have to train unbelievably hard, and they work incredible hours. When I was in Kyoto, even today, there are so few left and it's a very different kind of profession, obviously. You're not sold into it. You make a choice to do it as a teenager in high school would choose to go to the School of American Ballet or something like that or become a model. It's that kind of thing now. But then children were sold into these Geisha houses as maids and as slaves, but there was a reward for that ultimately at the end of it if they were able to maintain the work and the house and the training and so forth, and they would become Geisha. But to me the movie is about how you deal with this very difficult profession. (There are, in the story) four different Geisha, ultimately. One, Sayuri, survives. Like the water in her eye, she keeps moving forward and ultimately finds love. But Hatsumomo, sort of the tragic villain of our piece, obviously self-destructs, can't deal with the restrictions of being a Geisha. Mameha, the teacher, is a Geisha who is the perfect Geisha and the only way she can do that is really put her heart on ice and remove herself from that. And she has that wonderful line where she says, 'A Geisha has no choice. We don't become Geisha to pursue our own destinies. We become Geisha because we have no choice.' And then Pumpkin, the fourth Geisha, is a failed Geisha and becomes a prostitute. So that's what's to me the movie is about, exploring that.
Question: How can the modern women relate to this?
Marshall: I think it's fascinating. First of all, you have to remember something: this is a women-run business, even in the 20's and 30's, when this movie takes place. It's extraordinary when you think about. The teahouses are owned by women, and these Okiyas are run by women. All that money was exchanged from women. So there's a sense this is a female business. I think it's fascinating to explore, for instance, Sayuri, whose spirit didn't accept that. To me, she has a modern sensibility in that time; somebody who went against the culture and didn't accept that she could not dream or that she could not love.
Question: Is this why the book and hopefully the movie resonates?
Marshall: I think it has resonated in terms of the book, for sure. It's a hidden culture. It's a hidden subculture inside Japan. That's what makes it so alluring. For me, even spending two years on it, I'm still fascinated by it because there is no Western equivalent to it. Somebody said to me the other day, 'Is a Geisha a trophy wife?' And I said, 'No, that's not what they are.' People try to equate what they are and that's not what they are. They're artists first and then, of course, there's a danna involved, a patron involved eventually, and in the time of our story a Geisha sold herself, sold her virginity. But it's a peak into a different world, to a different culture, and one of the things I loved about movies growing up for me is being transported to a different world, transported to a different time and place and exploring what that's about and understanding where it came from.
Question: Can you talk about the casting and why go with Chinese actresses and not Japanese?
Marshall: I have a very simple philosophy when it comes to casting and it really is casting the best person for the role. We had casting directors all over the world and the hope as a director is that when someone walks in, an actor walks in that you work with, claims the role and says, 'This is mine.' Sayuri, for instance, was such a demanding role because not only did she have to be a great actor that could carry a film, but she also had to speak English. She also had to be a brilliant dancer because we had to learn how to become a Geisha in literally six weeks; that's all we had, and she had to do that incredible dance. And it takes a lifetime to become a Geisha. The subtleties are extraordinary. So we had to approximate the idea what that would be. And so a dancer was very key to me. She had to age from 15 to 35, and she had to have that great spirit. For me an actor like Z (Ziyi Zhang), for instance, comes along once in a generation. She's 26 years old and she is extraordinary. She's really extraordinary on every level and there was no question. She was Sayuri, the way Ken Watanabe was the Chairman. I met him the day after the premiere of 'The Last Samurai' in New York. I walked in and I thought he'd be a Samurai, the Samurai, and I walked in and here's this gentle, lovely man with a great humor, great kindness and I thought, 'That's the Chairman.' So it was, 'How wonderful he'll be able to play something he's never played before, ironically, which was something closer to himself.' So that's the hope of the director: they claim the roles. And my job is to choose the best actor for every role, to bring that character to life.
Question: What about the other two actresses – Michelle Yeah and Gong Li?
Marshall: Michelle Yeoh is Malaysian and she is a dancer as well. I knew that once again with Mameha, who is the tutor, had to be able to teach and become the perfect Geisha. The other thing that Michelle has in spades for me is the incredible elegance, incredible warmth and great wisdom, everything Mameha had needed. So she claimed that role and said, 'This is mine' more than anybody else in the world. I would say Gong Li is probably one of the greatest actors in the world. It's pretty much that simple. The beauty is extraordinary, and I knew with Hatsumomo that it was the hardest role in the movie because it could easily become a one-dimensional character, bitch, who plays evil for evil's sake. And with Gong Li I have a three-dimensional actor. And she helped me enormously, by the way, as we worked on this character to find the reason for why she is the way she is, to make her full-blooded. And for me it was an honor to work with this great actor.
Question: The poster emphasizes the blue eyes and they don't look that blue on screen. Westerners have an idea of the mysterious East. Is this a way to welcome Westerns into the world?
Marshall: No, this is Arthur Golden's story. That's what we're doing the film version of. Arthur Golden's story is about a girl who stood out from others because she had these remarkable gray-blue eyes and –
Question: Is it possible for a Japanese to have blue eyes?
Marshall: Yeah, sure. You have to remember this is a fable, I'll remind everybody of that, and a fiction. And in addition to that, (with) our story we even stepped further away from Kyoto. Our story takes place in the fictional town of Miako. I wanted to do that because I wanted to really know that this is a story, a lovely fable, an emotional fable.
Question: Why start with the characters speaking Japanese and then segue into English?
Marshall: The reason is because I wanted to enter into this world in somewhat sort of an authentic way, like we're appearing into a world. One of the things we did throughout the movie was shoot the movie through materials, through bamboo, through silks, things like that, to give a sense that we're appearing into a unique world, a hidden world. I wanted to start the movie in Japanese so you'd have a sense of disorientation and feel that you're in a place that's foreign and odd to you. And then once the voiceover begins you understand that it's being narrated and being told as a memoir. As soon as the English voice takes over then the rest of the movie is translated to us in English.
Question: This is a fable, not related to the real world now in which you really do have women sold into slavery. But do you think there's a resonance?
Marshall: I think, obviously, there is a truth to this movie in terms of when it took place. Our movie opens in 1929 and children were sold into Geisha houses. They left their parents and they had a new mother, and that's how it worked. Now, of course, it's completely different. That would never happen. Now, you choose to become a Geisha as a high school student like I said before, and at age 16. In fact they don't start teaching Geisha until they are 16 now. So it's a very different thing. But then that is how it worked. It's funny, I found Arthur's story to be very much like a Dickensian novel in a way, I felt, very much like David Copperfield or Oliver Twist. It had that kind of thing, in addition to (resembling) Pygmalion or Cinderella; it has that kind of rags to riches feel. But the Dickensian part of it grabs a lot of people when they read the novel and hopefully when they see the movie because you care about this child, what's going to happen to her, someone who's been taken from love, taken from family.
Question: How do you feel about reinventing the movie musicals?
Marshall: I'm happy. I'm so happy (if that's true) because I made it so clear when I was promoting Chicago (that he wished it would result in more musicals being made). That's what I grew up watching and loving, movie musicals. They've inspired me throughout my life and so I'm so thrilled that Rent's opening, Producers is opening this season. Dreamgirls, Hairspray is on the way. And if we played a small part in that I'm thrilled.
Question: What are some of your favorite musicals?
Marshall: The musicals that I loved growing up: many, many. Singing in the Rain, of course, is a classic, I love Meet Me in St. Louis. I love Funny Face, Stanley Donen's beautiful movie. It's really countless for me. Cabaret. What do I love about Singing in the Rain? It's the perfectly constructed musical and it was created specifically for film, which is fantastic. And it's about the film business. Perfect performances. There's not a misstep in the whole movie.
Question: Can you talk about the transition from musicals to something dramatic?
Marshall: Sure. That was really a wonderful opportunity for me. "Chicago" presents this wonderful thing in your life that you can maybe take a chance or open up or try something different with the success. It's this lovely thing that happens, and it happens rarely in life. Mostly what happens in your life is you're perceived as one thing and that's what you do and that's it. For me, to me, telling a story is telling a story, telling it through dance, telling it through singing is the same thing as telling it through a dramatic piece — because it's a story. The characters, you have to bring to life. You have to make it feel connected to your emotions in some way; whether it's funny, whether it's sad, whether it's beautiful, whether it's cruel. And I was moved by this and excited to do it, and there's a little dance in it. So there's a little connection to the world for me. I did shoot in a theater and did have a little bit of a safety net there for myself. But I was excited to try something else.
Question: But following that up, you have a knack for doing projects based on existing material. Assuming this is a success and you get that next opportunity, how eager would you be to something original as opposed to a remake or something based on a book, where there are expectations that come with that.
Marshall: Yeah. That would be fantastic. I'm not a writer, although as a filmmaker you are an author in a certain way. I worked on this movie, for instance, and I started from scratch. I started from the book and I hired Robin (Swicord). Robin and I started working on structuring the piece and pulling directly from the book. Original material is trickier when you're not a writer. When I read and look for things, it's not so much 'Is it from a source? Is it not from a source?' It's 'What is original? What's moving? What's different?' I think that movies sometimes suffer from the cookie cutter syndrome. I've seen the same thing over and over and over again, and one of the things that exited me about this is I haven't seen this movie before, so I thought, 'Well, let's do something new.'
Question: You have both in Chicago and Geisha you have established yourself as the – an author. All of the actors that we've spoken with today have acknowledged that this is Rob Marshall's vision. So as a film director who is acknowledged to be an auteur, who is working with material that is not original, how responsible do you feel to that original material?
Marshall: Thank you very much. I feel a great deal (of responsibility). Specifically with Memoirs of a Geisha, it was such a beloved book. I felt a great deal of responsibility to bring it to life in a way that would honor the book and honor this great novel. I sat with Arthur Golden for quite a long time talking to him about the novel and how he got there and everything about it, about the characters. And he was part of the process for me, which it was important to me. He dreamed this up and I wanted to make sure his dream — although in a different form, of course, it has to become something else; it's a two-hour and 17-minute movie, not a 400-page novel — but I wanted it to have the same feel, the same beauty that he captured and that captured the hearts of his readers. So he was involved quite a bit.
Question: What's next?
Marshall: It's funny. I'm so bad at developing something while I'm working on something. I'm terrible at it. I didn't do it in Chicago, either. I'll probably stop now, breathe for a little bit and start reading, and something will happen, I hope.

First baseman Chris Davis struck out five times, grounded into a double play and then tossed two scoreless innings of relief after Baltimore ran out of pitchers, picking up the win as the Orioles beat Boston 9-6 Sunday in 17 innings.
Adam Jones hit a three-run homer in the top of the 17th off Darnell McDonald, an outfielder the Red Sox put on the mound once their bullpen was empty.
Boston got two men on to start the 17th against Davis (1-0), making his pro pitching debut. But he struck out All-Star slugger Adrian Gonzalez and got McDonald to ground into a double play 6 hours, 7 minutes after the game started.
J.J. Hardy had five hits, including two homers, as Baltimore won its fifth in a row.

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas! So while we didn't have to travel ON Christmas this year, we did go to my hometown the weekend before to have early Christmas with my grandparents and cousins. With this being my first married Christmas, it was also my first one away from home and all of the traditions I grew up with. (If you're married, I would love to hear how you've handled the holidays the first few years and how you make time for everyone. Leave a comment at the bottom of this post!) While we were there, we took the time to go downtown and take a little walk down memory lane.
This mural is based off of a drawing that my childhood best friend did while at St. Jude at age 7. This has always held such a special place in my heart, and as you will probably learn, is one of the reasons I have such a love for St. Jude and their mission. Going back and visiting this spot was just another great reminder to be thankful this holiday season.
For our early Christmas celebration, I went with this amazing chenille sweater that I wear all. the. time. I usually don't wear much red but this is such a rich color and I thought it was gorgeous with the texture of the chenille. Plus it's perfect for any kind of holiday get-together. Y'all, I can't even tell you how happy I am about the chenille trend this year. I'm obsessed. I paired the sweater with a velvet ruffled skirt (on super sale right now!) and my favorite flat over the knee boots. (So basically I was a walking trend, but I don't even care haha.) At first I was a little leery of the over the knee boot, but I finally decided to give them a try. In my opinion, the trick to finding the right pair for you is choosing the heel height wisely. If you're worried about looking a little too… ya know… scandalous at the office… go with a flat heel or a mid height heel. I wear these to work and think they're super appropriate and stylish. I also prefer a pair that stays close to my legs and isn't stiff. Kind of like a pair of leggings! These actually fit perfectly over a pair of skinny jeans or leggings so you don't have to wear them with a skirt or dress if you don't want to.
I've linked all these items below, and I've also provided a sale roundup in case you didn't get everything you wanted or are looking to do a little after Christmas shopping. I hope everyone is still enjoying the holidays! I'll be back soon with a roundup of all my amazing Christmas gifts, so be looking for that!

Ice lands:having fun
Lord of the rings online
I liked planet Hoth, last base of the Rebellion and those pretty Imperial walkers slowly advancing, firing they green beam weapons. In Istaria, there was Island of Ice with beautifull frozen lakes and even ice-flowers.
Yesterday went to Forochel just to test that region, since nothing can be worse than Angmar and Moria. I did like Forochel. A world of ice of snow, covered with mist and based on Scandinavian names. A region with the beautifull landscapes, be it roads, or local folks (Lossoth) having fun, riding Mammoths, with its frozen seashore and some 'arctic' beasts.
Of course, took some quests immediately. What other players may complain – is that you have to travel some distance to get to quest area, then ride back and return…But that's not a problem for me. If map is working, if I can rely on it – everything else is just fine. So, I did my quests by picking up stuff, killing beasts. Some quests were interesting, like "destroy the traps, but do not kill any cow" and cows were too close to the traps. Another quest needed to place stone in the shrine and gave me some 50-60 minutes for that. Almost every quest gives reputation with Lossoth. However, the Lossoth are very suspicious and so they treat anybody as outsider: earn 10.000 reputation to become "Neutral". To compensate it, some reputation quests are repeatable and monsters do drop reputation items.
Quest rewards were not so grear for me (sold almost everything), but on level – maybe they mean something. Monsters' drop is good and when sold, I gained enough moneyu to be happy. In terms of metal harvesting – nothing too spectacular, Ancient Iron and Ancient Silver (Eregion is better for this).
Not so much slayer deeds, but once again – repeatable quests (like "kill 18 warghs here") make this task lots and lots easier. No other region I have visited had such daily quests.
I am satisfied with Forochel. Not sure how about TP investment ratio – but at least I am having fun here. Would stay there untill I finish last of deeds (except instances, because I doubt I'll find any fellowship).
Lotro, I'm having fun once again.

Punch holes with UniPunch
Use UniPunch tooling to punch holes in extrusions, tubing, structural parts and more.
- Save time and money.
- Make uniform parts.
- Be flexible.
How can we help you make holes faster?
Less Time… More Parts
A manufacturer of animal enclosures was punching flat bars one hole at a time with an ironworker. It was time consuming and the hole-to-hole accuracy was difficult to maintain. He started punching all of the holes in one hit with the UniPunch system and went from making 60 parts per hour to 600!
Watch the video to learn more:
They're Not Just for Bending Anymore!
Press brakes are an important resource for punching holes fast.
One of the most common applications is punching a line of holes using UniPunch tooling on a strip template in a press brake.
For recurring jobs, UniPunch tooling can stay assembled on the template and the whole assembly can be removed from the press and put on a rack for when that hole pattern is needed next.
Read More
How to Reduce Tonnage?
There are a variety of ways to reduce the required press tonnage.
- Use Tonnage Compensator Caps – Stagger the punch length so that the punches pierce the material at different intervals
- Add Punch Shear – A shear angle ground onto the punch tip reduces the load or tonnage unlike flat faced punches
- Use correct die clearance – This results in a balance of punching force, good hole quality and increased tool life
- Sharpen punches & dies often
Why Die Clearance Matters?
Proper clearance between the punch and die is essential for piercing a well-made hole efficiently.
- Too much punch and die clearance results in more rollover deformation where the punch enters the material and a large burr on the die side.
- With proper clearance between the punch and die, there will be minimal rollover deformation around the hole where the punch enters the material. As the punch cuts through the material, it creates a region of vertical burnishing until the fracture line created by the punch meets the fracture line defined by the size of the die at which time the material breaks creating the hole. On the die side there will be a minimal burr.

9 Texts Every Co-Sleeping Mom Sends The First Time Her Kid Sleeps In Their Own Bed
For me, co-sleeping was less of a choice and more of a necessity. A few hours after my son was born, he struggled to properly regulate his body temperature. Doctors and nurses advised that we co-sleep, so my body could help my son do what his body was having difficult doing. We slept skin-to-skin that first night in the hospital, and co-slept until he was a year old. Then, all of a sudden, my son was sleeping in his own bed and I was sending the texts every co-sleeping mom sends the first time her kid sleeps alone, usually to my poor partner and mother and friends and anyone that would let me simultaneously celebrate and lament.
I had become so used to sharing my bed with a tiny little baby-turned-toddler, that the first night he slept alone I was both excited and nervous. I was checking in on him all the time but spreading out and enjoying all the space and the fact that I wasn't, you know, getting kicked in the face at all hours of the night. Like parenthood in general, that first night my kid slept alone was a mix of good and bad. I was so happy and ready to give my son more freedom (and have some of my own) but I was sad that my tiny mini-heater was no longer cuddling with me.
In the end, the best way for me to express my happiness and sadness was through text messages, because it's 2016 and, um, how else are you supposed to communicate? I'd like to assume I wasn't the only co-sleeping mom to send the following texts to friends and family:
You Won't Believe It's Actually Happening...
My partner and I experienced a lot of "false alarms" when our son started showing an interest in sleeping in his own bed. The first night it actually happened, I could hardly believe it. Like, is this real life?!
...But, Yes, It's Actually Happening
The moment you realize that this is no false alarm, but your kid is actually going to sleep through the night in their own bed, by themselves, you're elated. Like, it's Christmas morning, you guys. You've won the sleep-lottery and you feel like you have so much freedom you don't even know what to do with yourself.
You're No Longer In Physical Danger...
No more kicking or slapping or, um, more kicking. The ability to sleep without fear of physical trauma is, well, priceless.
...But You'll Need Some Extra Blankets, Though
My kid is a walking, talking, tantrum-throwing human furnace. It's unbelievable how much heat can be created by such a tiny body. It's unbelievable, and super helpful in the winter, and definitely something you'll inevitably miss.
Your Go-To Scapegoat Is Gone
It's not like I can blame it on the cat. Or the dog. Or my partner.
Phantom Cries Are Real
You have the ability to sleep without getting kicked in the face, but that doesn't mean you'll actually sleep. I thought I heard my son every 10 or so minutes the first night he slept in a bed by himself so, honestly, I slept better when the kid was next to me.
You'll Probably Check On Them Once Or Twice (Or All The Time)
Even if you don't hear a few phantom cries (you will), you'll still get up multiple times a night and check in on them. I knew my son was breathing when he was sleeping next to me; I had to keep check on him (i.e. staring at his chest) to make sure he was breathing when he was sleeping in his own bed.
You'll Start To Miss Them...
The grass isn't always greener on the other side of co-sleeping, my friends.
...Like, Really Miss Them
Just like it took some time to transition your babe into their own bed, it will take some time for you to learn how to sleep in your bed without them.

Talita Kumi Project in Guatemala
At St. Michael's school we strive to project values and dignity to our students and teach them to take social responsibility.
Talita Kumi
Our students actively support the project "Talita Kumi" in Guatemala. Talita Kumi is a girl's school in the north of Guatemala and supports the education of girls and women. Since 2010 the St. Michael school has supported this project with the name: "girl for girl" by raising money for the medical care of the girls and the improvement of the schools building.
After their final exams the students can go on a gap year to that school and do voluntary work in the social sector.
DKMS - Fighting against leukaemia - charity run
Every 3 minutes in someone in the world is diagnosed with blood cancer. A bone marrow or stem cell transplant is often the only chance for survival. But only 30% of patients can find a match in their families. The remaining 70 % have to hope for a benevolent stranger to step up and donate their stem cells or bone marrow. For this reasons the Dynamic Kernel Module Support (DKMS) was founded. It is a Non-Government Organisation trying to find a suitable donor for sick people. St. Michael's school supports this NGO by regular donor drives for students aged 17 and older in order to find potential new donors.
Charity Runs
In order to pay for all the expenses related to a registration as a new potential donor the DKMS highly appreciates monetary donations. Almost every year the teachers of St. Michael's School participate in a charity run to raise money and awareness. During their last run the teachers raised 3,758 Euros.
Christmas in a Shoe Box
Every year before Christmas the students help to support a charity organisation that gives Christmas presents to children in need. The students collect things they do not need anymore or which they want to donate, like coloured pencils and paper, stuffed animals, sanitary articles, etc. for poor children. These items are packed into cardboard boxes, like shoe boxes, lined with wrapping paper and sent aboard as a Christmas present.
Helping Refugees
A large number of refugees have been coming to Germany over the last few months, either alone or with their families. St. Michael's school has set itself the goal to support those families by organizing tea parties and making them feel welcome. The students also collect and donate clothes, toys, etc. for the refugees.
Children's Hospice - Paderborn/Höxter
In December students of year 6 support the local children's hospice. They do rope skipping and people donate money for each minute the pupils are active. More than 120 children raise more than 5000 Euros.

Grammy Awards nominate George Lopez's comedy album before it is released?!
People have made a big to-do in recent days about how and why the Grammy rules could not allow Lady Gaga to get a nomination for Best New Artist because she already had received recognition by the academy in a different field before this year. But the Grammys were more than willing, it seems, to bend the rules for George Lopez. His new stand-up comedy CD, Tall, Dark & Chicano, hasn't even come out yet. It'll be released Dec. 15, 2009, on Comedy Central Records. That's what it says on the press release Comedy Central sent out, as well as, well, everywhere. You cannot get it on Amazon.com yet. Of course, the recording is based off of a live performance for HBO from earlier in the year. But still. That doesn't mean Lopez's "comedy album" came out between Oct. 1, 2008 and Aug. 31, 2009 — the official "Eligibilty Year" for the 52nd annual Grammys. Hmmm. Maybe they watched the HBO special and thought, that'll make a great album: Let's nominate it ahead of time?! The future is now, people. UPDATED: Seeing that the Grammys also called upon Lopez to introduce the nominees for Song of the Year — and make a Tiger Woods joke in the process — perhaps there's even more to this than meets the eye? Here's a clip from last night's telecast on CBS: UPDATED...Read More

I had a wonderful morning teaching at Mt. Cuba Center.
The gates at the entrance hint at the natural beauty inside the garden preserve.
Toad Shade trillium along with Lady Slipper orchids and many other native plants adorn these amazing gates.
The first step is choosing fabrics to coordinate the composition. Patricia making her selections.
And her finished postcard is lovely.
Karen chose a different color way for her pink trillium.
Maggie's card reflects her knowledge of trilliums– she works at Mt. Cuba! She was very artistic and free-cut her shapes from the fabric. She even had a very cool trillium water bottle.
I think the striped border really sets off Pat's card.
I took the samples I showed in class home and added some stitching. We had a fun time and I think these creative ladies enjoyed learning to make fabric postcards. I'm betting they will be fusing fabric to explore more designs on their own.

A Michigan high schooler has filed a suit saying his Constitutional rights were violated when an Economics teacher kicked him out of class for disagreeing with the teacher about the homosexual lifestyle.
The Thomas More Law Center has filed a complaint saying Daniel Glowacki, a junior at Howell High School, was treated unfairly after instructor Johnson McDowell, wearing a pro-gay rights T-shirt, asked the teen his opinion — then sent the boy to the principal's office for stating that same-gender sexual relations are contrary to his Christian beliefs.
The incident occurred on October 20, 2010, when McDowell wore a purple "Tyler's Army" shirt to class in solidarity with a national campaign promoted by the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation calling for the end of "bullying" of homosexual students.
"In cooperation with the National Education Association, the Minnesota Education Association and the Howell Education Association, and in furtherance of the national agenda of the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation," complains the law center on Daniel's behalf, "the school district permitted the celebration of 'Spirit Day' at Howell High School. On Spirit Day, people who support the acceptance of homosexuality wear the color purple. In fact, the School District permitted its teachers to sell purple t-shirts with the slogan 'Tyler's Army' to students and teachers to promote the 2010 Spirit Day. 'Tyler's Army' is a reference to college student Tyler Clementi who committed suicide after a video of him having sex with another male student in his dorm room was posted on the Internet.
"Rather than teach academic courses that day," complains the law center, "McDowell decided to spend the entire day promoting this national pro-homosexual agenda, which included showing his classes a video concerning such 'bullying.'"
The complaint alleges the teacher started his presentation by ordering a student in Daniel's classroom to remove her Confederate flag belt buckle because he was "offended by it."
Daniel spoke up in that student's defense, saying the teacher was being hypocritical — promoting a message that might be offensive to students, while barring students from wearing clothing that expresses beliefs offensive to the teacher.
According to the lawsuit, Daniel was asked by the teacher about his feelings on homosexuals. The teen responded that as a Catholic he was offended by the gay and lesbian lifestyle. Because of his answer, Daniel was ordered to leave the classroom under threat of suspension.
"After ordering Daniel to leave the classroom," says he law firm, "McDowell asked the remainder of the class whether anyone else did not accept homosexuality. A student raised his hand, and McDowell ordered him out of the classroom as well. In this case, the teacher became the bully, and the students who opposed his homosexual agenda became his victims.
"As news of the incident spread, homosexual activists across the country hailed McDowell as a hero and vilified Daniel and his family, as 'bigots,' calling Daniel's religious objections to the homosexual agenda 'hate' speech. McDowell is head of the school's teachers union. The Michigan Education Association, the state teachers' union, supported McDowell's actions."
National lesbian TV host, Ellen DeGeneres got in on the anti-Glowacki campaign. Daniel even became the subject of a school assembly. A 14-year old openly gay student who supported the teacher at a subsequent school board meeting appeared on the "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" to discuss his speech. The student was rewarded with a $10,000 academic scholarship by a digital media company.
"Rather than teach the required Economics curriculum for which he is paid," said Thomas More Law Center president Richard Thompson. "McDowell, with the full knowledge of school officials, used his position of authority to promote his homosexual agenda at taxpayer's expense."
"Homosexual activists with the willing and complicit support of public school districts and teachers' unions throughout the country, are using our public schools to foist their destructive agenda on our children, thereby creating a hostile learning environment for those students who oppose this agenda on religious and moral grounds," said attorney Robert Muise, who is handling Daniel's case. "This case is just one example of the pernicious effect these activists are having on our students and in our community. We intend to stop it."
"The lawsuit, filed in the federal District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan," writes Kathleen Gilbert for LifeSiteNews, "claims that Daniel's constitutional rights to freedom of speech and equal protection were violated by the policies and actions of the school district and McDowell. Among other things, the lawsuit seeks nominal damages, a declaration that the school policies and actions violate the Constitution, and injunction to prohibit further constitutional violations."
"This case points out the outrageous way in which homosexual activists have turned our public schools into indoctrination centers," said Thompson. He said by utilizing the tyranny of political correctness, homosexual activists "are seeking to eradicate all religious and moral opposition to their agenda."
If students and staff can be intimidated into silence, the pro-homosexuality agenda can be presented undebated and unopposed, said Thompson. That situation already exists in high schools across America, he said. It constitutes child abuse and should be treated as such, he said.
"It defies common sense," says Thompson, "for schools to ban all sorts of unhealthy foods while at the same time promoting the homosexual lifestyle, which hard statistics show increases drug abuse, suicides and reduces the life expectancies by several years. Schools that promote such lifestyles are engaging in a form of child abuse."
"We intend to stop it," said Muise.

Funeral Viewing Service
A funeral viewing service offers family and friends the opportunity to see and spend time with their loved ones after death. Funeral viewing services generally take place prior to the funeral. Making the decision to see the deceased in such an intimate setting is a personal and often confronting choice. Some people find the viewing a positive experience. It gives them the chance to farewell their loved one.
Viewings may also be important for religious or cultural beliefs. Some traditions involve the family taking part in dressing their deceased loved one. This gives the family to place the favourite clothing of the deceased. Sometimes having the deceased dressed in traditional funeral garments is also very important to the family. Tribute Funeral Services are experienced in a variety of funeral viewing services to best serve the needs of your family.
The staff that care for the deceased are qualified embalmers. Also, they are members of the Australian Institute of Embalming and the British Institute of Embalmers (Australasian Division). You can be assured that prior to the funeral viewing service, that they have been treated and cared for with the highest standard of care and ethics.
Letters, photographs, flowers, special Mementos or significant objects can be placed in the coffin or casket with your loved one at this time. Viewing loved ones not only can help the bereaved in the grieving process, it also helps to acknowledge and accept the reality and finality of death. It offers the opportunity to say a final 'Goodbye'.
The viewing can be arranged to take place just prior to the funeral service. Or if you prefer, within days prior to the funeral service at a time suitable to family and friends. These services are usually held at the funeral home in the comfort and privacy of the facility with our caring staff available to offer support.
Contact Us
Call Tribute Funeral Services today to speak with our funeral directors. In addition to viewings, we also offer burials, cremations and can manage all aspects of your service.

Dear Friend:
Welcome to Plummer Youth Promise where since 1855, we've embraced the most vulnerable young people in our community, offering them unwavering support and helping them become productive, valued members of our community.
Some of these young people have spent years in foster care and are on track to age out of the system with nowhere to go. Others have experienced the devastating impact of poverty, drugs, violence or even jail. Many have no one to rely on. They are alone.
It doesn't have to be this way.
At Plummer, we believe that what these youth really need is something most of us take for granted — the stability and support of a family. That belief drives everything we do.
Our Promise is bold. We work tirelessly to connect each of these kids with a family that will be with them forever. Sometimes that's their biological family, other times it's a new family.
For too long, it's been assumed that finding families for teens was not possible, and that work had to focus on the development of skills. We believe that all kids – even teens – need and can achieve family. And we're proving that it can be done. Our model has piqued interest locally and nationally, and we're now teaching others. This means more young people will be helped.
At the same time, we recognize that our young people need to heal from trauma and develop skills. To that end, while working on building family relationships, we help youth cope with their pasts, find a place to live and acquire the social and vocational skills they will need throughout life.
Please take some time to read the success stories on this website and learn about our programs, and our focus on permanency, preparedness and community. Then, join us in this critical mission. Help us ensure that our slogan – Family for Everyone – becomes a reality.
James Lister
Executive Director

All products and services mentioned in this post have been purchased by me, and these are my honest opinions.
Hi All! It's monthly favorites time! Today I've got four makeup products, one nail polish, and a perfume. It is a bit on the smaller side, but that is just because I tried to hold myself back on buying products this month.
My first favorite is an eyeshadow quad. This is Maybelline's ExpertWear Eyeshadow Quad in Designer Chocolates. This is a super gorgeous, shimmery palette. Almost everyday, I've used the enclosed sponge applicators to put the lightest color on my lid and browbone, the "crease" color in my outer corner, and the "liner" color in my crease and lash line.
My next favorite is my NYColor Smooth Skin Loose Face Powder in Translucent, which I am almost out of! I just bought more at Target. I love this, especially for the price! I apply it all over my face with my Laura Mercier Powder puff.
My other face product I've been loving this month has been my Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Eraser Dark Circles. Mine is in the shade Brightening, This is an awesome undereye concealer, as well as covering up the redness around my nose. I simply apply this before foundation directly to my face, then blending with a clean finger.
My final makeup product this month is a mascara. This is the Covergirl Professional All-In-One Waterproof Mascara in Very Black. This was the first mascara I ever purchased, and I've just recently gone back to it. My lashes work best with a drier mascara, which I believe is why this works so much better for me now.
My favorite Scent of the month is my Carried Away mini fragrance mist by Bath & Body Works. This has been my go-to all month. I also adore this packaging!
Last, but certainly not least, is my favorite nail product of the month. This is Sinful Color's Snow Me White. This is the first opaque white I've ever seen, and it is good! The price, of course, just makes it sweeter!
These are my October Favorites! Comment below with what yours are, I love finding new and awesome products to try!

I've loved reading since I was a kid. I would read anything I could get my hands on, from The Babysitters Club and Sweet Valley High to Dean Koontz and Edgar Allen Poe. I loved the scholastic book catalog and trips to Waldenbooks at the mall where I would sit on the floor, surrounded by books until I was forced to leave. As a teen I discovered literature and poetry and soon I had a carload of books to pack up with every move in college and beyond. I always had a book with me, and would read any chance I got.
Then something shifted. My life as a mother, particularly in the baby days, didn't leave me with much mental space for reading. If I was reading a book, it would take me a long time to get through it, and I would often finish it feeling meh. I had lost the ability or desire to lose myself in the story, fictional or not. This was the first time I realized that reading books is a skill, and spending time doing it is a choice.
So when my daughter was a toddler and life started to feel somewhat predictable again, I decided to return to books. I would make the time and try to rediscover my love of reading.
Setting a reading goal for myself felt like a fun way to stay motivated, so when January rolled around I resolved to read 12 books that year. This was before I was on Goodreads or keeping track in any sort of way, so I can't recall what I read or how many books I read that year. But what I do know is this: my love of reading was rekindled and my ability to dive deep into a story was restored with each book.
Why I Read
For me, reading is a way to connect to myself and to humanity at large. I read to reaffirm what I already know, to discover new ways of understanding the world, to challenge my beliefs and privilege, to have adventures beyond the scope of my reality, to connect with the stories of other humans, to be entertained, to escape, and sometimes just to have fun.
When I read, I'm giving myself a gift, a little something that exists just for my own satisfaction. It's not for or about anyone else. Reading connects me to my truest self, all the messy, complicated, romantic, intellectual, cynical, silly parts of me that maybe get set aside in my day to day life. To me, this is time well spent.
Making the Time
Last year I read an astonishing (to me) number of books. It was quadruple the amount of books I set out to read in my first reading challenge, and I had to ask: how did this happen?
Well, I decided to make the time.
First I looked at how I was spending my "leisure time" (quotes because as a working mom I didn't feel like I had much time to spare). I quickly discovered there were pockets of time lost to social media, tv, and similar.
I almost always read before bed. This meant adjusting my bedtime so that I'm hitting the pillows before I'm actually ready to fall asleep. I also always read in the bathtub; it's my favorite place to start a new book!
Another way I make time to read is by always having a book downloaded on my phone via the Kindle or Libby apps. Libby connects to your library card, and you can borrow ebooks and audiobooks alike. I've also started making sure I have an audio book downloaded – usually non-fiction – to listen to in the car or on walks. Pro tip: if I'm reading a longer print book, sometimes I will also borrow the ebook from the library. That way instead of losing 15 minutes to social media when I'm in a waiting room or early to school pick up, I can read my book.
Another shift: I gave myself permission to stop reading a book I didn't love. My reading time is precious! I'm not going to squander it trying to get through a book that I'm not connecting with. Sometimes I put the book aside for another time; there are seasons and moments for books, and when the timing is off, it just doesn't work.
My Reading Life Now
This year my goal is to read 50 books. I'm off to a strong start thanks to my February sabbatical. No job and a social media break have given me loads of time to read, and I've loved every moment of it. You can check out the books I've read so far this year on my Goodreads page.
A year or two ago, my friend Hannah shared that she was reading books via the Book of the Month Club. I was in another reading slump by then, now with two kids and a business in my life. I missed books, so this seemed like a great way to get excited about reading again. Plus we could talk about the books and trade!
BOTM highlights 5 books by contemporary authors each month, with a mix of genres and styles to choose from. It's been a lot of fun discovering some new-to-me authors and genres. Hannah and I always text each other around the beginning of each month to compare thoughts on that month's selections and share what we're thinking of getting. We also chat and meet up regularly to swap books back and forth.
The March books for Book of the Month were just announced today. I've been excited for Daisy Jones & The Six and was thrilled to see it was included in the selections. If you're interested, you can check out the selections here .

We work hard to write posts. And harder, to write killer posts. Have you ever spent hours of writing, several times of self-reviewing before publishing a post and yet got results which are no good? Well actually speaking, there are chances for your your to-be viral posts go suicidal i.e., wasting all the hard work, knowledge and research you invested for your blog post. What are the things responsible to this? Read on to learn more…
Seven things that you must avoid doing in a post that you'd like to go viral
- An ugly title – this is the first and the foremost thing that ever gets noticed by a reader – the post's title. You might like to read Nicholas Cardot's post on how to write eye-jerky post titles.
- Lack of multimedia content – As we all know images speak a thousand words, that should be taken into consideration. Do you have a post that has no images/video or the likes in it? Give a link to it in the comment and I'll mark it as spam. No kidding! 😉
- False statistics. All imaginary, approximate and other such figures in a blog post – especially, a blog post that falls into the category of researching, this is a big time drawback to your posts.
- You've made it boring with lengthy paragraphs. You must rather be to the point. Use ordered or unordered lists with respect to the post.
- What I desire is an out-of-the box article. You wrote an out-of-the-niche blog post. How awkward can it get, when I write a post in Chaaps: "10 reasons your love betrayed you" ? 😛
- You don't let others' post go viral by commenting and/or sharing it. What you sow is what you reap, right?!
- Your post just doesn't deserve to go viral. Say for example, I write a post "How to post in a friend's wall in Facebook." I swear by god, none except my self will hit that post with a read.
Ever experienced your viral posts going suicidal? Do let me know whether such a thing had happened to you and also let me know in the comments , what is the most probable reason for it?Tweet

Does a snowy October mean a snowy winter? Are we going to get clobbered after Thursday's snowfall? I have good news for you - don't panic! Brad crunched some of the numbers last night at 11 p.m. and here's some of what he found.
1.5" of snow in the Hartford area (measured at Bradley Airport) yesterday makes this the 3rd snowiest October on record and only the 5th time on record measurable snow has been recorded on or before Halloween. In the hills, where October snow is more common, the 2.5" at the Great Mountain Forest in Norfolk makes 2016 the 6th snowiest winter on record!
At least in the Hartford Area the 2 Octobers that have been snowier have gone on to produce horrible duds for snow lovers like myself. I mean absolutely hideous winters. 2011-2012 managed to drop 26.7" of snow for the whole season! The 12.3" on October 29th was the biggest storm of the season. The 1979-1980 winter was even worse - 16.7" of snow fell making it the 3rd least snowy winter on record. Brutal.
Of course, this is a very small sample size and there really aren't many conclusions you can draw from it. The two other Octobers with measurable snow - 1972 and 1925 - weren't memorable winters either with 35.2" and 45.7", respectively over the season.
In Norfolk, where the sample size is larger, the results are more mixed. The 10 snowiest Octobers have gone on to produce near normal winters on average. The long term average in Norfolk is around 90" for the season and the winters following snowy Octobers managed 83.0" on average - with some big duds and above average years in the sample. The 1987-1988 and 1962-1963 dropped 116.4" and 125.2", respectively up in the Icebox of Connecticut.
So - don't freak out and expect a snowy winter since this October storm dropped an inch or two of snow. But, don't be fooled into thinking this winter will be a cake walk either. The numbers don't really support any argument about how much snow we'll see this season based on one storm in October. More importantly, just be glad you didn't lose power for 11 days after this October snowstorm :-)

OK the chicken doesn't need to be Jewish. But this soup will cure any cold, which is why it's called Jewish penicillin.
My Vietnamese student Dan gave me a the advice to break the bones to expose the marrow to add amazing flavor and nutrients to the broth.
Bones, skin, herbs and vegetables from roasted chicken
add 2 more cloves garlic
1 bay leaf
3 stalks celery, leaves also, coarsely chopped
2 carrots chopped, or a handful of baby carrots
1 onion, coarsely chopped with skin
green part of leeks, coarsely chopped
2 tsp. salt, or to taste
black pepper
Water, about 1 gallon
After serving and boning chicken, reserve bones and skin and herbs. Break the bones to expose the marrow (I use kitchen shears). Return the bones to the soup and let it boil while you shred the chicken by hand. Discard lemon, or it will give a bitter flavor to your broth. Fill roasting pan with water, add more celery, garlic, salt and pepper, the green part of leeks and onions. Keep onion skin on for a golden color to your broth.
Boil for at least an hour; two hours is better. Stir to get the drippings in the pan into your soup. They add a delicious flavor.
Let cool until you can handle the pan. Strain through a strainer and store in refrigerator. The next day you can skim the fat off with a slotted spoon and adjust seasonings. This broth can be used as a base for various soups. Serve topped with fresh dill.
Add kneydlekh-(matzo balls) for special occasions like Passover and Rosh Hashanah or just to help the healing process.
You can also add rice or noodles to the broth.
My mother-in-law, the beautiful Conchita, immigrated from Mexico to the Rio Grande Valley in South Texas with a flair for making meals that were bién rica. I have adapted some of her recipes such as sopa de fideo, which is Mexican chicken-noodle soup. She fries the fideo, which is short vermicelli, and adds onions, tomatoes and salsa.
Vegan Version: Omit the chicken. Add 3 sprigs of rosemary, 5 sprigs thyme, 10 cilantro sprigs, a handful of parsley, 3 sage leaves, and 3 garlic cloves to ingredients. Boil the vegetables and herbs for an hour, then strain and use as a base for vegetable soups.

Based on what the ophthalmologist finds when examining your hyphema, he or she may ask you to:
Your ophthalmologist may tell you not to use aspirin because it can lead to more bleeding. In some cases, your ophthalmologist might tell you to go to the hospital so that your eye can be cared for and checked often. If the hyphema makes your eye pressure rise too high, it can lead to glaucoma or damage your cornea. If this happens, you may need surgery to remove the excess blood or eye drops for treatment.

Mad Max tells us about the Cerulean Knight: Dorada Ice, Ice Baby
Well, it's that time again. The Friday night shenanigans, evening chats, dance movements, and (Lord have mercy) contests involving a ping-pong ball have taken their toll. We all touch noses, eyes racing back and forth. Returning from the bathroom (as you do), the queue is missed. It's your turn to retrieve more beer.
You collect a meager sum, are told by a tall energetic Australian to "Get the most brew for your Q," and head for the closest tienda. Once inside, you struggle with the plastic sliding door for a second before realizing it's actually on hinges. It opens and you slow your breathing, mulling over the options.
The Australian's voice echoes in your head. Front and center, the pride of Guatemala, Gallo, stares at you with its beady rooster eye for Q10 a tallboy: decidedly too expensive. To its left, Cabro, a tastier Xela favorite for Q25 a liter, dances out of your price range like a winged monkey prince. You sense something to your right and try not to look. It's Brahva, the cheapest beer in Xela, sold to some for Q5 a tallboy, and currently littering your living room floor. You grumble with indecision.
But what's this? A blue light shines from below. You tilt your gaze and there it is in all its shimmering metallic azure: Dorada ICE. You grab a can and roll the thermo-packaging in your palm. Why is this here? What does it mean?
Pause scene. Let me elaborate: Dorada ICE is the youngest of the aforementioned Guatemalan made beers and the second cheapest you can find in Xela at Q6 a tallboy. The fateful reality of Dorada ICE, however, is the part it plays in a war between hopeful monopolies.
As is clear, Brahva is the anti-Gallo. Selling at the lowest price point, AmBev aspired to weaken Cervecería Centroamericana's golden cock, break the national monopoly, and buy out the market. Despite Brah- va's known propensity to make Guate- malans physically ill, the strategy worked enough to inspire retaliation of kind. And thus, from the depths of an underground laboratory, sprang forth Dorada ICE, the cerulean knight, the anti-Brahva.
Distributed since the early 2000's, Dorada ICE is really the result of Cervecería Centroamericana studies identifying youth as the primary cheap cerveza consumers. It got a modern look, empha- sized innovation through varied flavors, and displayed beaches filled with dub-step and hot young Dorada ICE drink- ers in commercials. Globalized "icing" methods of freezing production batch and extracting ethanol-concentrated ice crystals even made it more alcoholic than its competitor. The dawn seemed to glimmer on a new age.
But around 2012, Brahva sank deeper into its cave, halving its price in a few years. The dedicated azul savior dismounted its horse and breached the darkness in hot pursuit. And this is where they now find themselves, spiraling further and further down, locked in a perpetual battle for Guatemala's young and poor.
Play scene. You consider all this and decide to return the glowing can. You buy the Brahva, say your goodbyes, and re- turn to the party laden with drink. You hear it again: "Most brew for your Q." Everyone applauds.
