So Far, So Good
By Happy Mom
from Wisconsin
About Me First Time Parent
Comments about Tuck-Me-In Travel Bed with Removable Mattress KIDS:
Note: I purchased the TODDLER size (not the KIDS size). I researched travel toddler beds on line a lot before purchasing this one. I chose this one for 3 reasons: One Step Ahead has great customer service, no need to buy special-sized sheets/bedding, and I liked that the mattress separated from the "frame." I considered getting the kids size, but it seemed HUGE, so I will try to make this one last as long as I can, and I will cross the "kids size" bridge when I come to it, but I figured by that time, kids sleep pretty well in just a sleeping bag.I have only used the travel bed once so far; indoors on a carpeted floor for 3 nights in a row. Set up was a breeze, pump filled entire mattress and "frame" in just a couple minutes. crib sheets/mattress pads/blankets fit perfectly. Held up well - didn't need to add air during entire 3 days. Pump emptied entire bed in just a couple minutes too. Carry bag is nothing special, but it works. who cares...I didn't buy it for the quality of the carrying bag. if its that important, I can always buy something else/use a spare duffle bag we have, whatever. My daughter (almost 3) LOVED the bed - so excited, so proud, and slept very well, both at night and for her nap. Only problem was the last night, she woke up crying multiple times saying she was cold. Despite lots of blankets, she couldn't warm up. Beds fault? who knows. I did take extra precautions thinking the bed might be cold (inflatable air mattresses can be cold), putting a thick sleeping bag btwn the bed and the floor, layering 2-3 sheets and mattress pads on the bed, and putting 2-3 blankets over her, so even if the bed is cold in general, it seems we had prepared for that. Several reviews have complained as to how loud the bed is. I did not share a room with this travel bed, but I keep a monitor on and never once heard the bed make noise. I also (thanks to the ability to separate the matress and frame) put a sheet between the mattress and frame to help reduce friction noise.My daughter does not seem to be a particularly active, tossing sleeper, but she never rolled or fell out of this bed. I kept the head of the bed against the wall (so her pillow wouldn't scoot over the head of the bed onto the floor), but both sides were open. She stayed in no problem. I was a bit worried about her sleeping with her face caught in the "crack" btwn the mattress and the frame, but it wasn't a problem. I would, however, not recommend this bed for a child under 2 years old due to this potential hazzard.In a nut shell, this bed worked great. Gave my daughter a comfy, safe spot to call her own and made bed time during travel a non-issue. That's priceless to me! This bed will travel with us for as long as it lasts!
Love these beds!

my kid loves this
By Anita
from Miami Fl
I bought this for traveling, my kid does not fit in the play pack any more and is used to sleep by himself..instead of sleeping on my bed and keeping me awake all nigh checking if he is not falling of the edge or kicking me...he loves it and sleeps full night. you need the blankets as the size is not standard. the traveling bag is also a great idea.
wonderful bed

Great Travel Bed
By Mom of 2
from Madison WI
About Me Parent of Two or More Children
We bought this for our almost-3 year old to use when we spend the night at her grandparents. It worked great. The travel bag fit the bed & air pump. The bed isn't big enough for an adult to lay with the child but other than that it worked great.We ordered the bed on a Sunday and needed it by Friday. So happy we didn't pay the $50 for 2-day delivery. We paid for the standard (3-8) day and it arrived on Tuesday.
Great Bed!
By Parent of two
from Minneapolis, MN
We purchased two of these beds for our 2 year old (who was jumping out of a pack and play) and our 4 year old. They roll around a lot when they sleep and the sides keep them in bed. There are times I need to slide them to the middle of the bed because they are sliding off the top, but overall it works perfect for a long weekend away from home!
So far, love this bed
By GramaD
from San Diego
Bigger than I expected, so I can lay with my granddaughter when putting her down for a nap. Seems to be durable - time will tell.
Inflatable Travel Bed for Todlers
By Grandma Carol
from Wheeling WV
So easy and quick to set up. Our granddaughter is transitioning from a crib to bed and this is the perfect step to take at the grandparents rather than put in a big bed! She loved it as soon as she saw it and snuggled right in!
Great visit!
By Nana Banana (Diana)
from Perdido Beach AL
Grandbaby #1 came to visit. He is "beyond" getting in a crib :-)) but not ready for a big bed. Added Tuk-me-In travel bed to the guest room. He loved getting in bed by himself and happily read books and napped "by himself". he was happy and so were we. Recommend
A Must Have
By Doxie_pal
from Bryant, Arkansas
Absolutely love this travel bed. I bought this for my toddler once he out grew the pack n play that we'd use when he went to grandma's house. It's easy to set up for grandma; inflates in minutes & just as easy to deflate. It is a little bulky so make sure you have plenty of room.
Over 120 Sleeps and STILL LOVE IT!
By Kim - Travelling Mom
from Louisville, KY
About Me Medical Professional
We have used this toddler bed for our now 3 1/2 year old for well over 120 sleeps (naps and overnights), as we travel quite a bit and it has held up well. The valve that keeps the air from exiting the mattress while you shut the outer valve has just recently failed and I will call customer care to see about replacement, but I can still use it and it still holds air for over a week.The best thing about this product, is we ALWAYS know where our son will be sleeping and have even made a VERY LARGE closet into his temporary bedroom when necessary. Our son's crib sheet and underpad fit perfectly on this bed, therefore there is no need to buy odd sized sheets. This bed has become as familiar and loved by our son as his crib/toddler bed at home! The included pump has held up perfectly and all pieces fit into the included carry bag. I VERY HIGHLY recommend this product and believe it is the best toddler product we have purchased. I can see our son using this bed until he is at least 5 and I often lay in it with him when reading books. GREAT PRODUCT and well worth the money.I also purchased the outer cover, not sure it is absolutely necessary, BUT, like I said, we use this A LOT and this cover may be one of the reasons the outer inflatable part has held up perfectly.
LOVE this bed&customer serv is AMAZING!
By Jodi
from FL
We LOVE this bed. My 3 yr old has used this bed for travel for over a year. He loves that his Elmos toddler bedding fits it and loves getting in and out of "his" bed. After just over a year, though, the mattress stopped holding air. I called customer service and they are sending a replacement mattress! LOVE this company and will definitely keep shopping with them!
Great Bed
By Keith
from Costa Mesa
Very convenient and easy to use. The rails are great for keeping my toddler from rolling out. I'm very happy with the quality of the productOn a side note, it would be great if you were able to buy one piece or the other as a replacement. We borrowed on from the grandparents and the mattress had a small hole after my 2 year old jumped on the full mattress several times. It would have been better to buy the mattress instead of having to buy the whole set up.

You'll love wearing this pendant again and again.
Matching 14k Gold chain sold separately.
Diamond clarity is the gauge of how clear and flawless a gem is. Very few stones are perfectly flawless - most contain at least minor mineral inclusions or tiny cracks. The more visible those flaws are, the less valuable the stone is considered. VVS1/VVS2 Rare. Minute inclusions only seen under 10x magnification VS1/VS2 Very Slightly included (two grades). Minute inclusions very hard to detect with the naked eye. SI1-SI2 Slightly included (three grades). Small inclusions only sometimes visible to the naked eye. Fantastic diamonds. I1-I2 Inclusions visible to the naked eye yet lots of life and sparkle. Great value and still stunning. I3 More heavily included and easily visible with the eye often milky stone with little sparkle.

Ballhawk League Week 12
A couple story lines to watch as the season continues:
1) Zack Hample is 5 off of the pace to snag 1,000 in a season.
2) Erik Jabs is on pace to tie his record of 544 that he snagged last season.
3) Nick Pelescak is narrowly on pace to break his personal best 417 snagged last year – and he's going to Texas for four games this week to cement his status in the top 3 on mygameballs.com
4) Ben Weil and Zac Weiss could battle it out the next couple of weeks for the fourth spot.
5) Greg Barasch has rapidly risen in the standings the past week and could move into the top five soon.
Last year at this time the week 12 standings for 2010 were:
1) Erik Jabs 249
2) Nick Pelescak 213
3) Zack Hample 168
4) Shawn B 93
5) Greg Barasch 80
Back to 2011…

West End Stories
A new exhibition created with people from the West end of Newcastle seeks to answer these questions and reveals stories about life in the West end.
The exhibition presents films, objects and photographs that uncover the rich and diverse heritage of the area, including photographs by the late Jimmy Forsyth, who documented city life; and objects which reveal the West end's Roman past.
Look out for our programme of talks and events to complement this exhibition - details coming soon.
Suitable for
- Any age
A new exhibition exploring the achievements of women who have made a significant contribution to the Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) industries, both historically and today.
The exhibition includes 24 portraits, drawn mainly from the National Portrait Gallery's collection, of women who have made their mark in science and technology during the past 250 years.
From the pioneering naval architect Rachel Parsons (who was also the daughter of Charles Parsons, inventor of the steam turbine) to the contemporary scientist and inventor Lydia Arnold, the stories of these women will be set against a backdrop of changing attitudes to women in society generally, and in particular to their role in STEM.

Here, alone with Gollum, on the shores of an underground lake, the unassuming Bilbo Baggins not only discovers depths ofguile and courage that surprise even him, he also gains possession of Gollum's "precious" ring that holds unexpected and useful qualities … A simple, gold ring that is tied to the fate of all Middle-earth in ways Bilbo cannot begin to know.

DOBSON — Citing a violation of policy, Surry County Animal Shelter officials have asked a member of an animal advocacy group to stop taking photos of animals and posting them on the Internet, raising the ire of some animal advocates in the county.
According to Wendy Willard, the leader of a group who is protesting high euthanasia rates at the shelter, she has been asked to leave by shelter Director Gary Brown.
"I first talked to the secretary and then to Gary Brown, and he said that no one will ever be allowed to take photos inside of the building. That they would post photos online as soon as animals are available to be adopted," she said. "That's the only time people will see those animals unless they go to the shelter."
The shelter had originally permitted Willard to photograph animals shortly after a June 21 protest where about 75 county residents turned out to protest high euthanasia rates at the shelter.
According to numbers released by the N.C. Department of Agriculture, the Surry County shelter had a 2011 euthanasia rate of 90.69 percent compared to an adoption rate of 4.53 percent, resulting in what Willard has called "little more than a kill shelter."
Willard said she was taking photos of the dogs in their cages to show what she calls "the reality of their lives at the shelter."
"(The photo album posted online) had pictures of random dogs and it was just a few photos to give people the chance to see that the pictures of dogs playing in the grass isn't the reality of their lives at the shelter," she said. "I wanted them to be able to see how overpopulated the shelter is and tried to explain to shelter officials that if they'd let me show them to the public they might be able to get more adopted."
The problem, she said, is that the photos seemed to work too well.
"The more people saw the photos the more they wanted to adopt the dogs and the problem is that those dogs weren't ready to be adopted," she said.
But shelter officials say it's less about the photos themselves, and more about which photos Willard was taking.
"We have a policy in place and the people who were coming in and taking the pictures were told the policy in front of witnesses," said Samantha Ange, director of the Surry County Health and Nutrition Center, which oversees shelter operations. "We told them to only take photos of animals who had met our adoptability criteria and not those who were undergoing the adoptability test. We told them they were not allowed into the quarantine area."
Ange said Willard had taken photos of unadoptable animals and posted them online.
"They were told we didn't want them doing that, and then they were told again. And they took the camera back (into the quarantine area)," she said. "They were trusted to only take photos of what they were supposed to and they broke that policy."
Willard said she wanted people to see what goes on in the back of the shelter.
"People don't realize that every animal back there dies," she said.
Brown suggested that Willard was creating headaches for shelter employees.
"We were getting calls about animals that she photographed and when they could be adopted," he said of the unadoptable animals. "She violated our agreement."
For Willard, it's less about personality or policy and more about getting animals adopted.
"They said that I'd caused them more trouble than helped them," she said. "I had no intention of causing them problems. That's not what I wanted to do."
Willard urged shelter officials to allow someone to post photos of the shelter animals online.
"If they don't want me there, please allow someone else to come in and take photos of those adoptable animals and post them," she said. "That's all I want. It doesn't have to be me, just anyone."
Ange said she fully supports increasing the adoption rates at the shelter.
Willard said that since a gathering of protesters at the shelter she's been striving to work with Brown.
"I don't know what else to do," she said. "I really wanted to present the shelter in the best light possible.
"I will gladly turn it over to anyone else," Willard added. "I just want to stop as much of the killing of these animals as possible!"

My husband and I are the proud parents of six adopted children. We have 3 girls and 3 boys. Each person has their own gifts and blessings. Some of those children are special needs children; and some are not. We have children with special needs issues ranging from bi-polarism, to ADHD, to learning disabilities, to fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, some have behavior related issues. One is homeschooled, one is in special education classes, one should have been, and some have benefitted from regular educational services. Some are adults living their own lives very successfully. Others struggle in some areas of day- to- day activities. A couple have to be supervised or encouraged every waking moment of the day to help keep them focussed on being the best person that they can be. They are all loved, supported and have brought much to our family.
Each person has their abilities and their challenges. None of them did anything to deserve the life they were born into; they had no control over the very beginning of their life. Yet, each of them must strive to have a loving, healthy, productive and happy life. It is possible. Some adaptations may be required for some of my children to have an independent life; but, it is possible. Since it IS possible, we will do whatever we can do to help make that happen.
Adoption is a complex thing. It serves many purposes and yet…it has an ability to wound, to heal, to lift up, to destroy, to save lives, and to shuffle lives. There are always imprints of a life that was supposed to be; melded into the life that is gifted and aborbed into another family. There are moments of: celebration, sadness, regrets, and purposeful choices; adoption is a wonderfully, painful mixture of the emotional buffet of life! It is a parent's responsibility to seek excellence for the quality of life for their children.
Our family is special and unique; I bet your family is too! We have had many successes as a family; as well as, some twists and turns that were unexpected. The dream of a new parent doesn't usually include the expectation that things could turn out differently from the dream of a picture perfect family. A birth family or an adopted family does not get to choose from an 'ala carte menu, of challenges it may or may not face. As most parents would say, we live and breath for our children; and yet, we are not ashamed to say at times…we wonder…did we do the right thing? Our children didn't get a choice in life in which family they would grow up in. There are shades of grey for each person…balancing the pros and cons of adoption.
Whether a child is brought into a family by birthing it into the family, or by adoption…the child is received with awe, with excitement, and with hope for a beautiful future. There are unexpected situations at times regarding health issues, behavioral issues, attachment issues, emotional issues and even loyalty issues. Those things and more can affect the foundation of a family.
Many families are jolted to learn that their child has special needs or that their adopted child has issues that will affect them and their family for years to come. It is a difficult time for parents and other siblings to struggle to learn about the issues facing the family…because…none of us go it alone.
Family is a support system all unto itself…but, sometimes the issues can seem overwhelming. That is the time that families need to reach beyond their boundaries that are self imposed, because many do not understand what we face as families with challenges. Don't let that stop you from reaching out. You just might be surprised by the impact that you could have on another…or vice versa.
Really, for many people going through the shattered reality that their family is not following the dream of perfect completion…there is a sense of isolation and a perceived lack of understanding from others who have not walked in the same pair of shoes.
So, is there a need for support and information for families who have experiences that can mirror each other? Is there a wealth of understanding that is untapped because we have not had the opportunity to join forces and absorb techniques and encouragement from one another? I think there is. I have heard so many comments that would break your heart. Families that are under so much strain that they threaten to break and disintegrate under the pressure. If one person or family can benefit from sharing and encouraging each other here; then, the blog will have served it purpose.
Do you know someone who has things to share? Do you know someone who could benefit from a little support or information? Do you know someone who is facing a future with a special needs child and is struggling? Do you know someone with rose colored glasses that is thinking about adoption; but, isn't willing to accept anything less than perfection? Bring them to a place that will enlighten them, encourage them, and embrace them! Families should be celebrated and enjoyed…not everyone is blessed with people to share their love with.

Moth...I'll have to look it up. I'll let you know unless someone else comes up with the answer first. We had one come in on Thanksgiving after dinner. Sheesh, more people freaked out about the silly moth. Nephew caught it in a glass & we tossed it outside. I think this is it: Caenurgina crassiusculaThis message has been edited.

Mgt, I was going to look it up.....I knew it was a moth of some kind. I think he's kinda cute! Moths are harmless unless they're in your closet! ve | ||||
This sounds like a good candidate for our Mystery Critter posts over on HGTVGardens! Time to play buggy sleuth... Glad it's not doing any garden harm. "Bloom where you are planted." | ||||
It appears they got that idea from over here? "Those that throw mud, lose ground!" :>) | ||||
LOL, it is just a moth. Harmless. I don't mind moths either. Just another bug. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ "I've decided to quit my job, drop out of society, and wear live animals as hats." | ||||
One crazy looking moth! All that texture on top is so interesting to look at. "Bloom where you are planted." | ||||
Everyone steals my ideas...Why don't they hire me? "Those that throw mud, lose ground!" :>) | ||||
Am I seeing hornlike things and what looks like armor plating on the back? I google image-searched "horn moth" and came up with very little except this photo. Looks like his twin, do you think? http://roseconnors.blogspot.co.../09/horned-moth.html There's no scientific name attached to it. Gosh... Must be a bazillion moth species in the world! (And yours just might be the scariest-looking one there is... ) | ||||
That is the closest I've seen! I like to read up on these little critters that I spot! Thanks Nettie! Love to see them up close...otherwise you just think its another little black bug! Haha He looked very special up close! "Those that throw mud, lose ground!" :>) | ||||
I think it looks like a soybean looper moth because of the bronze colored sheen when the light hits it. http://miacy.homestead.com/moth55.html Here's a link to a page moth pictures. There are two pictures of the soybean looper moth, #8890. Located on the far right in the first row and the first picture on the second row. http://www.pbase.com/tmurray74...istinae_8880_to_9324 | ||||
Wow Great Gallery! Hard to say ~ Isn't it? A moth is a moth is a moth! Not sure what neighbors might have been growing in their veggie beds...that might have appealed this little fellow? I'm getting so I can't let a discovered bug so unidentified! Thanks for looking! "Those that throw mud, lose ground!" :>) | ||||
Yes, it is hard to say which moth it is. I wouldn't want to bet money on the one I said it looks like. I still think the markings are not quite right. The colors are so pretty in the second photo that became I intrigued with finding out the name of the moth. Nettiejay is right about there being a gazillion types of moths. I hope someone can tell us what moth this is because I give up. I still want to know though. | ||||
Well, muddy... If you're really that curious, I found this site while googling that will try to ID your photo if you send it. You'll have to open a free account with them, though, so you may not want to do that. They also have a large library of photos if you'd rather search them to find a guy like yours. http://www.butterfliesandmoths.org/identify | ||||

Pressure Washers Buying Guide
Water Pressure washers are great for removing dirt, grime and grease from hundreds of items, keeping the things you own looking their best. These units deliver up to 75 times more pressure than an ordinary garden hose while using up to 80% less water, saving you time, effort and money.
This guide covers the basics youll want to consider when choosing a pressure washer. You'll learn how to compare pressure washers by their specifications, and you'll learn more about their features and accessories to get the most from your pressure washer.
The Basics
Your starting point for choosing a pressure washer is thinking about how and where you'll use it. You'll want to consider how you'll be powering it, and the types of projects you'll use it for.
Gas or Electric?
- Gas powered pressure washers generally offer higher pressure than electric washers, making them ideal for medium to heavy-duty jobs. They can also offer greater versatility: because you are not tied to a nearby outlet, they can be used virtually anywhere outdoors.
- Electric pressure washers are compact, lightweight and convenient. While you do need an electrical outlet and an extension cord, electric washers don't require oil changes and you'll never need to stop to refuel. They are ideally suited for small- to medium-sized cleaning projects.
How Much Power will you Need?
To be sure you're completely satisfied with your pressure washer, you need to be ensure the model you choose is powerful and durable enough to suit all your cleaning tasks. To determine the size and strength of the pressure washer you will need, consider the types of projects you want to accomplish:
- Light-duty - Some examples are cleaning your patio furniture, stairs, lawn equipment or vehicles. Light-duty pressure washers are best for small projects and spring or fall clean-up, and when storage or portability is important.
- Medium-duty - This can include cleaning your fencing, deck or patio, garage floor or driveway. Medium-duty pressure washers are best for frequent cleaning around your home, cottage or garage.
- Heavy-duty - You will want a considerable amount of power to clean your house siding and second-storey windows or to prep a surface for painting. For these tasks, a heavy-duty pressure washer would be your best choice for durability and cleaning power.
Comparing Pressure Washer Specifications
There are several specifications used to describe pressure washers performance, power and pump systems. Understanding these terms will help you compare different systems.
Performance: PSI, GPM and CU
There are three values that are used to compare the performance of pressure washers
- PSI - The pounds per square inch of water pressure created by the pump. This is the pressure the washer uses to penetrate dirt and grime. Increasing the PSI will increase your cleaning power.
- GPM - The gallons per minute, or volume, of water delivered through the spray gun. The higher your GPM, the more water you'll use to break down dirt and wash it away.
- CU - Cleaning units is calculated by the pressure washer's combined PSI and GPM. It is the most accurate way of measuring the total cleaning speed and power of a pressure washer. The higher the CU, the greater the variety of items you can clean and the more time you save.
Power: Engines & Motors
There are different terms used to describe the power level of pressure washers, depending on their power source. Gas-powered pressure washers have engines, while electric pressure washers have motors.
- Engine power is measured by torque, the rotational force that drives the pump, and CC (cubic centimetres), the relative size of the engine. The higher your torque and CCs, the more powerful your engine. Briggs & Stratton® and Honda® 4-stroke engines are both from world-leading engine manufacturers recognized for their reliability and performance. These engines are easy to start, have a long life and give you the power you need to get the job done right.
- Motor output is measured in wattage or amperage; the higher the number, the more energy that is driving the pump. Universal motors are lightweight, providing increased portability while delivering reliable power, and are best-suited for light- to medium-duty projects. Induction motors are low maintenance and efficient to deliver the power to tackle most cleaning jobs.
Pump Systems
The pump is the driving force inside your pressure washer. Generally there are three types of pumps that are used for power washers.
- Indirect drive pumps use a simple design to deliver consistent performance.
- Axial cam pumps with Easy Start™ technology provide smooth starting and are maintenance-free.
- Heavy-duty axial cam pumps offer greater durability and performance for frequent or heavy use.
Pressure Washer Features and Accessories
Your pressure washer's detergent handling, nozzles, storage and accessories will make a big impact on how easy, convenient and effective your pressure washer is to use.
Detergent Systems and Detergent
- Detergent injection tube - To apply detergent during low-pressure spraying, just drop the siphon tube into your container of pressure washer detergent. No measuring or pouring required!
- Single on-board detergent tank - An on-board tank lets you fill your washer with the pressure washer-safe detergent you'll use during low-pressure washing. Very convenient if you'll be moving your washer around while cleaning.
- Dual on-board detergent tanks with selection dial - Carry and store two types of detergent simultaneously on board your pressure washer. The selection dial lets you easily switch from one detergent type to the next without stopping.
- Pressure washer detergents - These help increase your pressure washer performance by breaking up dirt, grime, mildew and stains for faster, more effective cleaning. All pressure washers sold at Canadian Tire are equipped to use detergents.
Spray Nozzles and Settings
- Adjustable spray nozzles - Quickly and easily change between high and low pressure, and pin-point and fan spray patterns, with just a twist of the wrist.
- Quick-connect and Project Pro® nozzles - Get precise control and optimal cleaning with these nozzles featuring pre-defined spray patterns.
- Turbo nozzle and RotoScrub™ wide nozzle - By whirling a pin-point spray in a circular pattern, these incredibly powerful tools clean up to 40% faster than standard adjustable spray nozzles.
On-board Storage
- On-board pressure hose and/or power cord reel - An exterior-mounted reel reduces clutter and neatly stores your pressure washer between uses.
- Internal pressure hose and/or power cord reel - An interior-mounted reel reduces clutter even more for tidy and compact storage of your pressure washer between uses.
- On-board accessory storage - Stores your nozzles, wand, gun, etc., on your pressure washer to ensure that they are always readily available for use when needed.
Pressure Washer Accessories
Canadian Tire has a wide selection of accessories that will help you use and maintain your pressure washer. As your machine gets older, parts may wear, or if the machine is not stored properly over the winter, parts may break. If this happens, you can visit your local Canadian Tire store to get the replacement parts you need for your pressure washer...
TIP: In addition to oil changes, winterizing is often overlooked in maintenance. Even if you empty the water out of your pressure washer, trapped condensation may be enough to cause expensive damage to your machine. Pump Saver™ antifreeze will protect your pressure washer pump from freezing and help ensure that your pressure washer will be ready-to-go when you need it for your Spring clean-up projects.

'Our Beloved Month of August' (Cinema Guild) |
As a collaborative endeavor, cinema is especially prone to happy accidents. Rarely has a film demonstrated the possibilities of happenstance as vividly as the Portuguese director Miguel Gomes' "Our Beloved Month of August," new to DVD from Cinema Guild.
With a handful of shorts and three features to his name, Gomes, 41, is one of the most original and exciting voices in world cinema today. (Three of his shorts are included on the "Beloved Month" DVD.) A defining attribute of Gomes' films is that they defy classification, partly because they refuse to stay for long in any one genre.
His latest, "Tabu," which opens in Los Angeles this month, is his most widely acclaimed movie: an ingenious shape-shifter that begins as a deadpan drama in contemporary Lisbon and ends up a colonial-era romance in faraway Africa.
"Our Beloved Month of August" (2008), Gomes' second feature, is also a film of two halves, part documentary and part fiction, although it can be hard to tell where one ends and the other begins. Its formal complexity stems directly from its complicated back story, a version of which is encapsulated in the movie.
As Gomes tells it, he had planned to shoot a fiction film in Arganil, in rural Portugal, against the backdrop of the region's summer rituals and pastimes. When the funding evaporated, instead of calling it quits, he and his crew simply began to document the people and places around them: the local lore, the religious pageants, the eager amateur bands performing nightly in the town square.
With this footage in hand, Gomes reconceived the film, and what he did, in effect, is come up with a form flexible and expansive enough to encompass a streamlined version of the original script as well as his documentary material, while providing some glimpses of the movie's troubled production.
"Our Beloved Month of August" is a tricky and beguiling fusion of documentary and fiction, not least because it so casually breaks the rules of both. At almost any given moment, it could be any number of things: a musical, a travelogue, a portrait of a place and its people, a self-reflexive film about filmmaking, a documentary about the creation of a fiction.
Along with his collaborators, Gomes appears in the movie, at times wielding his doorstop of a screenplay as a sight gag.
Gomes has described "Our Beloved Month" as an attempt "to put everything in front of the camera," including the camera itself. The curious effect of this apparent process of demystification is to render the whole thing even more magical.
At a certain point, fiction takes over. People we have come to recognize as documentary subjects resurface as characters in an unfolding melodrama, and the film's laid-back ethnography gives way to the improbably absorbing story of the ties among a father, his daughter and her cousin, all members of a pop band.
The desire for fiction is a constant in Gomes' films — it is this yearning that conjures up a warped fairy tale in his first feature, "The Face You Deserve" (2004), and a swooning silent-movie-ish reverie in "Tabu." Like the French New Wave master Jacques Rivette, Gomes often enlists his characters and the audience in a kind of mutual quest, a search for the story that is being told.
And like Thailand's Palme d'Or winner Apichatpong Weerasethakul ("Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives"), Gomes understands that stories about stories are not simply postmodernist metafiction but might speak above all to a primal hunger.
In one of several telling comic scenes in "Our Beloved Month of August," a producer bursts in on Gomes and his crew, knocking over the intricate pattern of dominoes they have painstakingly arranged for the opening credits.
It's a joke that also sums up Gomes' philosophy on the value of unpredictability: You can control only so much in the filmmaking process, and many movies, whether fiction or documentary, would be more interesting if they did not start out knowing exactly where they would end up.
"Our Beloved Month of August" reaches its emotional peak with a shot of its heroine tearing up and then, before our eyes, breaking out into hysterics. Is she crying or laughing? And is she in or out of character? Could she be both?
It's an emblematic moment in a film that reminds us that the categories we so often apply to movies are not always mutually exclusive.

Each package includes eight vintage light bulbs that measure approximately .5" x 1.25". Full Description & Details.
I ordered this set and a set by Tim Holtz. I normally like any of his products, but I have to admit that this product is actually much better for using on cards because of their smaller size. I also like the sentiments expressed.
These are just so cute. Love them. They are completely flat on the back so I use 2-3 glue dots to adhere on my page or altered art.
These are so cute - love the messages, too.

According to reports from the Sheriff's office, deputies responded to the residence on Dews Pond at the request of Floyd County authorities.
Upon arrival, deputies discovered the man in question in a pickup truck which had been reported stolen. The man, later identified as Allen Eugene Otts was approached by deputies and disregarded repeated commands to put down a large caliber rifle, with which he was armed, according to authorities.
Ott reportedly pointed his rifle at a deputy, who shot him. Ott then proceeded to point his rifle at a second deputy who also shot him. Ott was removed from the scene by ambulance and later pronounced dead.
"This was an unfortunate incident where an individual threatened the deputies, placing them in fear for their lives and forced them to take action," said Sheriff Mitch Ralston. "It is a reminder of the dangers in such cases that our courageous officers face everyday."
Ralston added the two deputies who shot Ott have been placed on paid administrative leave pending an investigation into the case by the GBI, an action which is in standing with regular policy and procedure.

At A Glance: An open and airy table, the Traverse End Table is an elegant combination of steel, wood, and tempered glass. The lower shelf features an alternating grain pattern that echoes the pattern of the intersecting steel frame.
What's To Like: Symmetry. The base neatly and beautifully gives this end table four equal quadrants - and the wood grain of the lower shelf makes a tasteful quarter turn with each quadrant. Traverse is a table for those who love order and space.
What's Not to Like: If you have small children, you may not appreciate the glass top for long. As with any piece of furniture that has sharp corners, you'll need to be cautious when the kiddos are near the Traverse End Table.

In addition to the all-McKinney finals, McKinney North advanced to the semifinals, making three of the final four teams hailing from McKinney.
Broncos senior guard Michael Grant was named the tournament MVP. Boyd hosted the weekend holiday tournament which began on Friday. In addition to Boyd, MSH and North, other tournament teams included Lovejoy, Rockwall, Little Elm, Richardson Pearce and Frisco Centennial.

A pair of juniors led Celina in scoring with Braylin Brown pouring in a team-high 16 points and Deshawn Davis adding 12 more. Senior Kyle Sudberry became the third Bobcat in double figures after chipping in 12 of his own.
Celina will look to start the new year on a winning note when the Bobcats and Lady Bobcats take on Nevada Community in back-to-back home affairs.

North beat Celina 62-52 in the final to win the tournament championship. North also beat Melissa 66-50 and Plano 67-62 earlier in the weekend's holiday tournament. Mason and teammate KK Connor earned all-tournament honors. With their successful weekend, North improves to a dominant 19-3 on the season.

-- 11.7% of male students were more likely to be drinking and driving, compared to 8.8% of female students.
-- Hispanic (11.5%) and White students (10.6%) were more likely to drink and drive than African-American students (6.6%)
-- 7.2% of 16-year-olds reported drinking and driving, which increased to 11.5% among 17-year-olds. Among students who reported drinking and driving, 84.6% reported binge drinking, defined as consuming five or more drinks in a row.
While the report shows progress has been made during the last 20 years in reducing teen drinking and driving, driving among teens also declined during the past decade.
Some of the factors that have contributed to the reduction in drunk driving include raising the minimum drinking age to 21 in all U.S. states, zero tolerance laws making it illegal for teens to have any alcohol in their system while driving, and the increase in graduated driver's licensing programs, which ease new drivers into having full driving privileges.
"We've seen teen driving fatalities fall by nearly 40% in nearly five years because of graduated drivers' license laws as well as other interventions," Frieden said.
He stressed the importance of states, pediatricians, and parents playing a role in educating teens about the dangers of drinking and driving. And he urged parents to set an example by not drinking and driving, and signing agreements with their teens to not drink and drive, as well as teaching teens to never get into a vehicle with anybody who has been drinking.

Congressional leaders have been invited to the White House on Friday -- the day forced spending cuts are scheduled to start taking effect, two sources said Wednesday.
But while President Barack Obama was on Capitol Hill Wednesday for a Rosa Parks statue unveiling, he met with congressional leaders for a brief, minute-long meeting.
Asked by CNN if the discussion led to anything, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid suggested it was just a quick huddle. When pressed on if he was surprised the White House meeting was scheduled for Friday, the Nevada Democrat gave a big smile and said, "Nothing surprises me anymore."
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, meanwhile, said the meeting before the ceremony was brief.
"We just came together and talked about looking forward to getting together on Friday," she said.
Pelosi also downplayed the timing of the White House meeting saying, "I have no idea, I guess it's just a scheduling thing. "
A GOP aide told CNN that Republicans do not anticipate the meeting to be anything more than optics--an effort, the aide said, by Obama to show he is at least talking to Congress on the day the cuts are supposed to kick in.
But the aide added it wasn't clear what was on the president's agenda.
By the time Obama meets with the leaders, the cuts--$85 billion worth over the next seven months--could have already started to take place. It all depends on when Obama issues an order to let them begin. He has until 11:59 p.m. ET on Friday to issue the order, according to an official with the Office of Management and Budget.
A senior congressional Republican chided Obama for the timing of the meeting.

EDMONTON - Alberta's universities got two kinds of bad news in Thursday's budget.
First, they were blindsided by major funding reductions: 7.2 per cent cut to the University of Alberta, a 7.3 per cent cut in funding for Grant MacEwan University. Given that the province's public post-secondary institutions had been promised a two per cent increase, and had drawn up budgets accordingly, you can't blame campus administrators for reeling at the prospect of chopping almost 10 per cent of planned spending — especially when the province has forbidden them to raise tuition fees.
But the greater blow may have been more subtle.
On Thursday, finance minister Doug Horner announced that the government would be issuing "mandate letters" to each university, college and technical school, to create "a more unified post-secondary system" and to align university research with the government's "economic diversification agenda."
"We have 26 post-secondary schools in Alberta," says advanced education minister Thomas Lukaszuk, on the phone from Vietnam, where he's volunteering to build playgrounds. "Each one is a virtuoso. But those 26 schools don't play together. They don't have a conductor."
Lukaszuk wants to be that maestro. He wants to reduce program duplication and competition between schools, make it easier to transfer from institution to institution, and centralize administration.
"Twenty-six schools. Why does each one need its own payroll department? Bureaucracy is repeated 26 times over."
He also wants to harmonize curriculum — so that an education degree program at the University of Lethbridge, for example, would be the same as at the U of A.
And Lukaszuk wants universities to shift some of their emphasis from what he calls "curiosity-driven research" to applied research with commercial applications.
Now, it's true that wasteful duplication helps no one. Absolutely, it should be easier to transfer from one school to another. But public universities aren't government departments. They're autonomous institutions, not instruments of Tory economic policy. It's one thing for a government to increase funding for pet projects. It's quite another to slash funding, cap tuition, and then issue provocative new marching orders.
I t seems odd, too, for a government that loves free market rhetoric to seek to squelch inter-campus competition, and to encourage homogeneous curriculum, instead of wide program choice.
"Certainly, the tradition in Canada, and in most Anglo-American countries, is that government does not interfere in the day-to-day operations of the university, or its academic decisions," says David Robinson, the associate director of CAUT, the Canadian Association of University Teachers.
"It's a bit ambiguous right now. But depending on the scope of this, it could be unprecedented, in terms of university autonomy."
"No one is opposed to accountability," adds Robinson. "But this seems more like direct steering, an attempt by the minister to micromanage."
This isn't just a question of respecting a university's ancient prerogatives, a tradition of independence that goes back to the Middle Ages. The history of the 20th century offers enough examples of failed central planning to suggest we don't necessarily want the state mandating to our post-secondary institutions what curriculum they should offer or research they should emphasize.
Scientists and scholars do their best work when they have freedom to pursue fresh, creative, even radical, ideas. That's where you get the truly original breakthroughs, bold innovations and insights that enrich both an economy and a culture. Create the impression that you want professors and students to be obedient civil servants, labouring for the good of the state, and you drive away academic talent and erode our universities' global credibility.
"In western democracies, the role of the university has been about research driven by intellectual curiosity," says University of Alberta president Indira Samarasekera.
Samarasekera says she's been assured she will see a draft of the U of A's mandate letter, that she'll be consulted about its content. She hopes she won't be disappointed.
"Given the nature of the budget, I don't want any more surprises in the form of a mandate letter."
Lukaszuk may well have some sensible ideas to streamline our public post-secondary system, and to help certain researchers to access private capital. But imposing his governance template on institutions that fiercely cherish their autonomy won't be easy — especially without an infusion of cash to smooth and sweeten the way. The minister's ideas might save, or even generate, money. But at what greater cost?
"It may sound romantic," says Robinson, "But I believe the university should be a place where we are on a search for truth. Once we allow government control over that, we lose our way."
