A dramatic reading from two Greek tragedies and an art gallery talk inspired by an exhibit about Negro League baseball—you'd think these two events have little or nothing to do with each other, but according to the head of the organization sponsoring both of them, there's a strong connecting thread.
Rob Wilson is executive director of the Veterans Education Project, a Valley-based group that celebrates its 30th anniversary this year. From its beginnings in the wake of Vietnam, the core mission has been, as Wilson puts it, "to engage and educate audiences about the realities and human costs of war." VEP arranges for veterans, from World War II through Iraq and Afghanistan, to share their personal stories of military service and combat with civilian audiences in order to "better understand the realities of war, as well as the challenges soldiers may face when they come home from a combat tour."
Recently, the group has been collaborating with arts-based organizations around common themes. Which is where next week's seemingly unrelated events connect: veterans' histories framed by an artistic presentation.
"Double Victory: Negro League Baseball, the Segregated Army and the Struggle to End Segregation," next Sunday at the Eric Carle Museum in Amherst, relates to the museum's current exhibit, We Are The Ship, a beautifully rendered cycle of paintings by Kadir Nelson depicting scenes and iconic players from the Negro Leagues in the era before baseball was integrated. One of the speakers is Raymond Elliott, whose experience in the segregated Army Air Corps in World War II has surprising parallels to Jackie Robinson's career in the military as well as baseball.
Theater of War, coming to Deerfield Academy on May 12, is a travelling program of readings from Sophocles' two great war dramas, Ajax and Philoctetes. It's a production of the social-impact theater Outside the Wire, which uses drama to engage audiences in pressing political and social issues. The reading, performed by professional actors, is followed by an audience discussion with veterans, active-duty soldiers and professionals involved in post-deployment services.
Both programs, says Wilson, "use the artwork, whether it's about baseball or the Trojan War, to look at some of the same issues the artwork is exploring. The artwork and the veterans' stories combined can be a real catalyst for bringing the audience into the issues and help them look at them in a new way, and also to think and talk about them with people who were directly involved."
In the case of "Double Victory," the whites-only Major Leagues and the largely African-American shadow leagues—considered a second-class arena but fielding some of the greatest players the game has ever seen—were echoed in the Jim Crow military of the Second World War. Raymond Elliott served in the Pacific in an all-black unit of the Army Air Corps deployed to build airstrips during the island-to-island campaign against Japan. During and after his service he was active in the "Double Victory" campaign to win the war abroad and equal rights at home.
During basic training, Elliott was threatened by a white mob after refusing to stand in the gutter at a Mississippi bus stop. That experience paralleled a little-known episode in the life of Jackie Robinson, who also served in the segregated Army and was court-martialed in 1944 while stationed in Texas after refusing to move to the back of a bus. Three years later, of course, Robinson broke the color barrier in Major League baseball, while Elliott went on to become a civil rights activist. He's now president of the Pioneer Valley NAACP and a frequent speaker on VEP's circuit. Also appearing in the Carle Museum event are Lee Hines, Jr., a Vietnam-era Air Force pilot, and baseball historian Doron Goldman, who will give a gallery tour and talk on the Negro Leagues art exhibit before the "Double Victory" program.
While that program connects the history of segregation in baseball and the military, Theater of War finds timeless connections between present-day conflicts and the physical and psychological wounds suffered by bronze-age warriors. Both Ajax, a Greek general in the Trojan War who kills himself after going mad in the aftermath of battle, and Philoctetes, who suffers a festering wound that can't be healed, represent the post-traumatic ordeals endured by many of today's soldiers.
The reading is produced by Outside the Wire, a New York-based company that employs classic theater works to illuminate and stimulate discussion on such issues as addiction treatment (with scenes from Eugene O'Neill's Long Day's Journey into Night), prison reform (Aeschylus' Prometheus Bound) and in Theater of War, combat-related psychological injury viewed through the lens of Sophocles' wartime tragedies. The cast for the Deerfield presentation had not been announced at press time, but previous performances have featured high-profile stage and screen actors including David Strathairn, Gloria Reuben, Amy Ryan and Paul Giamatti.
The dramatic readings, performed in military and well as civilian venues, lead into audience dialogues involving the various stakeholders in the issue, including soldiers' families, PTSD specialists, community members and combat veterans. The Deerfield panel includes a clinical social worker, two Iraq/Afghanistan veterans and a Deerfield Academy student from a military family.
The event is co-coordinated with VEP by Sam Savage, who teaches classics at the school and has structured a student seminar around Theater of War's ancient texts and ageless themes. He finds in the program both "a deep understanding of classics and classical civilization and, on the other hand, some fundamental truths about humanity and about war and about deployment and the effect on individuals and their families. What better way to bring the students out of the school's intellectual environment and into some real-world issues that are very, very timely?"
Much of the work VEP has done over the years involves bringing veterans into schools to give students, some of whom may be considering enlisting, a reality check on the facts of war. Both of next week's events, though, arise from the organization's increasing involvement with military families. The impetus, Wilson says, was the desire of Kevin and Joyce Lucey, whose son Jeffrey, a Marine, committed suicide after returning from Iraq, to share their story with others. "Just as we had found that what the veterans were doing in sharing their stories was an incredibly supportive and therapeutic thing for them, we started seeing that the mothers and fathers and partners of men and women who were serving also wanted to understand what their loved ones were going through and wanted to support each other."
An initial support group, Military Families Connect, has grown into a wider support network, "providing understanding as well as support," Wilson says. "I hear a lot of family members say, 'My son or my daughter just doesn't want to talk about it or doesn't know how to talk about it.' This performance and discussion enables people to talk about it. It's an opportunity to hear from people who have been there, who can talk about what it's like and help them understand it better."

Member and Patient Resources ▼
Holmes Regional Medical Center located in Brevard County FL, provides a wide-range of Neuro-Interventional treatment options to treat cerebrovascular diseases, many that are not available anywhere else in the Space Coast. Using state-of-the-art imaging equipment, along with various devices including; micro-catheters; micro-guidewires; balloon catheters, stents; and embolic materials such as glue, particles, and detachable coils. Holmes provides advanced neurological care for:
Interventional Neuroradiology, also known as Interventional Neurosurgery, is a medical subspecialty focused on minimally invasive treatment of blood vessel diseases of the brain and spine through small tubes or catheters that are usually inserted through the patient�??s groin artery, much like cardiac angiography or catheterization. However, the micro-catheters used for Neuro-Interventional procedures travel much further, to the point of injury or disease in an artery or vein in the brain or spine.
Following an angiogram, a map of the blood vessels is created showing any abnormalities in the blood vessels. This map then allows for precise placement of various devices deep into the brain or spinal
canal. The Neuro-Interventionalist is then able to treat the injury or disease, guided by X-ray.

This is the Prometheus SHDT.
The Prometheus was designed to safely transport troops across all terrain to the place where they are needed most. It is currently only used by the Luchardsko Royal Guard (LRG), which is why some of it is red.
It can go up to 200 km/h and is capable of taking on armored columns by it's self with it's quad BT cannon that is larger than the average ship cannon, 24 MKII missiles,4 MKIV missiles, 2 dual SL2 MGs, 1 SL3 dual MG, and a light SL3 (or 4, I can't remember) cannon for use against fighters and lighter armored targets.
With a total of 5 access points, a front deployment/loading door, two side door and two top hatches, it can deploy it's compliment of 15-20 troops in a matter of seconds even if some of the access points are disabled.
The inside of the Prometheus includes a BT generator for powering the weapons, hover jets and other systems, a command center capable of directing combat in on a medium-sized battlefield, as well as manning all of the guns and missiles launchers.
This is what the inside looks like without the troops and techies.
The SHDT is propulsed by 7 vertical thrust jets and 4 horizontal thrust engines. The anti-personel MGs are also visible from this angle.
This picture is just so that you can see what the side looks like, it is identical to the other side.
Hope you liked it, C&C is welcome!

Is state Sen. Maynard electable?
The Day reported on Aug. 6 that state Sen. Andrew Maynard was not able to communicate with friends and relatives keeping a 24-hour bedside vigil, two weeks after he had a serious fall at home.
And yet a letter dated Aug. 8, from a group of 25 state legislators asking Attorney General George Jepsen to look into the failure of Ocean Classroom and its links to the schooner Amistad, included Maynard's signature.
News of the Ocean Classroom failure did not break until after Maynard was hospitalized, and his injuries clearly must have kept him from following progress of the story.
So who authorized the signature of a hospitalized, apparently incommunicative senator, to be included on a letter to the attorney general on a subject he could have known nothing about?
It's a curious puzzle and one that leads to bigger questions about Maynard's health, recovery and the November election in which he is a candidate.
The most recent public report on his condition came from his family, which said Aug. 13 that he suffered a traumatic head injury in the fall and had been transferred from Rhode Island Hospital to the Hospital for Special Care in New Britain, a long-term, acute-care facility.
His family said at the time that he was "awake and responsive" and making a "slow, yet positive recovery."
In the interest of disclosure, I should say I have known Andy for many years, long before he was a state senator, and consider him a friend. I know I speak for many, many people around the state who took his accident as a heartbreaker.
And yet I worry that party officials are not being forthright enough in bringing the public along in a conversation about what happens next, as the election fast approaches.
I know it's not easy. No one wants to diminish the focus on his recovery.
Adding to the stress of the situation for some of his friends and supporters is that Maynard, who at 52 has served almost eight years in the Senate, needs to complete one more term to be eligible for early retirement, reduced pension and medical benefits, at 55, according to rules that apply to all state employees. His seven years of service makes him eligible for a full pension once he turns 65.
So what will happen if he is unable to campaign for re-election? Or, if he wins, what if he can't perform the duties of the office?
According to the Office of the Secretary of the State, only Maynard himself can withdraw from the race and, if he does, the Democrats have up until three weeks before the election to substitute another name on the ballot.
The only other way anyone else, besides the Republican, Kevin Trejo of Groton, who is on the ballot, could run would be to wage a write-in campaign. The deadline for a write-in candidate to get into the race is Oct. 21.
Once someone is elected, according to the secretary of the state's office, there are no specific provisions in state law to remove them if they are unable to serve for medical reasons.
Maynard's political supporters have been keeping his campaign for re-election active, asking for donations that would allow him to apply for up to $95,000 in public campaign financing.
As of Friday, neither Maynard's campaign nor that of his Republican opponent in the 18th District had filed petitions with evidence of the 300 individual donations needed to qualify for the public financing.
Naturally, the best outcome would be for Maynard to make a swift recovery and join another spirited campaign season for the 18th District.
Lacking that, I would hope that district voters, whom Maynard has tirelessly and professionally represented for four terms, would give him a chance to return to office, while his recovery continues.
I am sure others in the eastern Connecticut delegation, colleagues of Maynard, could help to be sure that the interests of 18th District voters are heard and represented during that time.
However, the process needs to be transparent going forward so that the public knows exactly what's going on. Let there be a full and honest discussion, as the election season unravels.
Calls for transparency about the senator's condition have understandably rankled some of his friends, who cite federal medical privacy laws in the defense of less disclosure.
Really, no one wants to look into his medical files. But he holds public office and voters - his employers - deserve regular, honest and thorough updates on his abilities to carry out their business.
And let's not see the senator's signature appear on any more official documents about which he has no knowledge.
This is the opinion of David Collins.

Back in the year of our nation's Bicentennial, senior slump in the waning days of high school was relieved a bit by a substitute history teacher who apparently took great joy in teaching us Catholic school boys and girls a few select "swear words" in Chinese. To this day, I have no idea if his claims of Cantonese scholarship were true or, if so, what he taught us meant what he said it did or actually translated to something like "You are a soggy egg roll!"
Thirty-one years later, China-- the People's Republic of, that is-- is still a Communist dictatorship but it has emerged as an economic force to be more than reckoned with. Certainly, we can all hope that as the more "green" rolls in the less "red" it will become. But given how the Chinese government crushed the Tiananmen Square protests back in '89, the day China becomes a democracy may be yet another century off.
In the meantime, one thing is damn sure: More Chinese goods-- and of higher and higher value and complexity-- will make their way to our shores. News reports of recalled toys have informed us that something like 90% of the toys now sold here are made in China. And a visit to any chain store or souvenir shop for that matter will clearly show that most stuff of any sort that costs less than 10 bucks is made there too.
But what many Americans don't realize is China is also making bigger stuff for export too. Major appliances are here already-- and, yes, cars are next. Consider this piece from Forbes.com about how the Chinese OEM Chery recently rolled its millionth-- yes, millionth-- vehicle off the assembly line.
As noted by the Forbes reporter, thanks to deals with Italy's Fiat and Iran's Khodro, the Chinese firm has vowed to double the number of its offshore plants in three years. And under the terms of an earlier deal, Forbes reports, Chery-made Chryslers will soon reach the U.S. and be priced "at around half of the current price of Chrysler's cheapest model."
It may start with bread-and-butter cars like a Chery hatchback but you can be sure Chinese-made sedans and SUVs will follow-- not to mention pickups and on up the GVW scale. There could well be a Chery in your future. No matter how foreign that may sound right now.

Take me to the Circus-reversible pinafore dress with pockets
Added Aug 30, 2012
Rogersville, Mis...
This fun pinafore is made from a lovely Spoonflower designer print on one side and combinations of "coal" and "rich red" Kona cotton on the other.
A darling red pom pom trim adds a special touch to make this dress even more fun!
I have made several of these pinafores for my daughters. They are a favorite of ours because they are
so comfortable and sweet, and can be worn alone or layered with a long sleeve shirt and jeans for cooler weather.
All edges are top-stitched. Snaps at shoulders are blue and applied with an industrial snap press.
They fit for a long time! Both my daughters have been able to wear for several years.

And then, late one night, you actually think you can take the giant step. Outside of your norm. Maybe even make the big change. Make a living doing it, full time. But you need a boost, a validation from something larger, something "out there." You think you need to win greater approval before you jump.
If you make wine or write or bake or engage in any activity, you might think to enter a competition. Or someone might nominate you for one. It happens all the time. Full time professionals are lauded all the time. The Nobel, the Pulitzer, the Oscars. People love to compete. And win.
How many times have wine-sellers in my field gone to their clients and told them, "It won a Gold Medal in the Orange County Fair"? How often I have looked to see which science fiction writer won the Hugo Award. Or the Nebula. Or if both, slam dunk into my shopping cart.
So where am I wandering this day on the wine trail? Well, actually I have veered way off the wine trail. In fact, aside from the reality that I use the blogging medium and often there is wine-type information interspersed between my pictures and my rants, my hopes, my dreams and definitely my fantasies, well I no longer consider what this is to be a wine blog.
Why does anyone care? Why should they indeed? I, for one, believe there are countless sites that rant and rate wines, and well, I just don't go there. I still have folks I like to read, people like Jancis Robinson, Hugh Johnson, Eric Asimov, Tim Atkins, Antonio Galloni, Charlie Olken, to name a few. Pretty mainstream, although a few of them are adapting some of the newer ways of communicating and networking. But, like so many folk sense, I feel there is just too much going on. Information overload. I don't have enough time in the day to collect my thoughts, let alone attend to the myriad of practitioners who have something to say about it. There are almost 7 billion of us on Spaceship Earth. Find your tribe and talk amongst yourselves, that's my mantra.
So, contests? If you think you need 'em to feel good about yourself or to get information on which wine you should buy or which pie you should try, go for it. But don't look for me in those ranks. I'm not mainstream, or moderate enough, to go there. Never have been. Don't want it, one way or another. Don't need the approval- What does it really mean? Don't care for more rejection - losing a wife in my 40's was plenty good enough for a lifetime.
I'd rather have a conversation with a friend about his meditating in a cave in India after he beat stage four cancer. I yearn to learn a better way to transplant the oregano that is taking over a side of my yard. I'd rather be invited to a family reunion. Before anymore of the old folks die. Boy, that would really be something.
I do think that wine blogging is a bit silly with all the perorations that accompany it in the blog-eat-blog world. The information is flowing almost as fast as our world is sailing through its galaxy. It's all too much. Kinda like all the stuff in my extra room, my "life's laundry" room, that gathers there because I have no idea what to do with it.
I'll see you on the Italian wine trail, or the Spanish olive trail. Or the Marfa Lights trail. Or the Parisian Metro trail. Or no trail at all, maybe just a whole mess of blue sky and apple pie and dreams and hopes and aspirations and whatever is being transmitted through this shell I inhabit for the next few years.
Oh, and Happy Mother's Day to all of you who are mothers and to those of you who are on their way to motherhood (you know who you are;). Happy trails!
Now, somebody please pass me a piece of pie to go with the Champagne. Let's get this party started...

Now here's a twist on a summer chicken salad. This one is inspired by the flavors of Spain, with roasted bell peppers, toasted almonds, garlic and parsley. Chicken breasts are first gently poached in chicken stock, to help the chicken hold on to flavor. (You can easily re-use the stock for another recipe, just boil it down for ten minutes before chilling.) Serve with lettuce, on bread for a sandwich, or just as a side. Great for a summer potluck or picnic. Enjoy!
Chicken Salad with Roasted Bell Peppers and Toasted Almonds RecipePrint
- 4 skinless chicken breasts (about 2 pounds total)
- 4 bay leaves
- 1 quart chicken stock
- 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
- 1 cup unsalted, toasted almonds, finely chopped
- 1/2 large red onion, chopped
- 1/2 cup parsley, chopped
- 1 8-ounce jar roasted red peppers (or one or two large red peppers, roasted, blackened skin removed, stems and seeds removed)
- 3 Tbsp sherry vinegar (can sub apple cider vinegar)
- 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
1 Put the bay leaves and the chicken stock in a pot with a lid and bring the stock to a simmer. Add the chicken breasts to the pot. Return the stock to a simmer. Cover the pot. Turn off the heat. Let the chicken steep in the stock for 30 minutes to an hour.
2 While the chicken is cooking, chop the other ingredients—garlic, almonds, onion, parsley, roasted red bell peppers—and add to a large bowl. Sprinkle a little salt over the mixture and add the oil and vinegar. Toss to combine.
3 When the chicken breasts are cooked, remove them from the stock (which you can reuse if you bring it to a boil again) and let them cool. When they are cool enough to handle, shred the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces by hand. Mix the chicken pieces in with the rest of the ingredients and served chilled or at room temperature.

Liberty News
Liberty presents donation for Chamber of Commerce capital campaign
|Liberty University Chancellor Jerry Falwell, Jr. speaks at a press conference at the Lynchburg Chamber of Commerce.
Liberty University has taken a leading role in supporting the local community, making a $100,000 donation toward the Lynchburg Chamber of Commerce's "Building for Lynchburg's Future" capital campaign.
"We are excited to be a part of this exciting new headquarters for the Lynchburg Chamber," said President and Chancellor Jerry Falwell, Jr. during a press conference at the chamber's offices on Wednesday. "We think the chamber has played an important role in championing business-friendly legislation."
Falwell praised the chamber for improving air service and highways, which he said are vital to Liberty's continued growth.
The campaign seeks to raise $2.9 million to move the chamber into a renovated building, which will serve as headquarters for the chamber, a business hub to the community, and a welcome center for visitors.
In addition to the sizable donation, Liberty sold the chamber the property for the new building — the 10,000-square-foot former Billy Joe's Ice Cream shop at 312 Boarder St. — last year at a price well below market value. The site is near Candlers Mountain Road off the Lynchburg Expressway, a prime location with access from U.S. 29, 460, and 501, the city's economic lifeblood.
Falwell commended one of Liberty's donors and board members, Wayne Booth, for making the discounted sale possible, as he originally sold the property to Liberty at a fraction of the cost, amounting to a donation of nearly $700,000.
Centra Health is also a leader in the campaign, pledging $150,000. Centra will also match donations by small businesses up to $100,000.
Michael Bryant, president and CEO of Centra Health, said he is glad to collaborate with Liberty on this project.
"As the two largest organizations (in Lynchburg) we have ultimately similar missions, in that at the end of the day we want to make an impact in whatever happens in Central Virginia," Bryant said. "Together we can have an impact broader than what we are doing in our individual capacities. … The more that we can do that together … Central Virginia will continue to advance."
The chamber announced it is above 25 percent of its goal for the campaign.

Muscle Mustangs & Fast FordsEvents
NMRA Releases 2014 Season Schedule
Now that the 2013 NMRA season has ended, here's the solid schedule to get you amped up for this coming 2014 season!
Now that the 2013 NMRA season has ended, here's the solid schedule to get you amped up for this coming 2014 season!
As always, the season starts out in sunny Bradenton Motorsports Park in Bradenton, Florida for the NMRA Spring Break Shootout on March 6-9. Kickoff begins Thursday, March 6th at the Muscle Mustangs & Fast Fords Open House. This event is free and features a free parts raffle, a tour of the facility, free food, free drinks, music, and more. Check back on the MM&FF website as the event gets closer.
The NMRA season start off with a bang on Friday, March 7, and is followed by the kickoff at the Bradenton Hooters including a car show, burnouts, and of course, Hooters' girls! The rest of the weekend's agenda includes 100+ cars competing in the TREMEC True Street with a qualified field in the Muscle Mustangs Spring Break Shootout class on Sunday. The Cobra Jet Showdown will be presented by Ford Racing, and that will bring out the factory-built Cobra Jets dominating the quarter-mile with 8- and 9-second runs. The Spring Break Shootout is good for warm weather, parties, street-legal drag racing and car show!
Soon after, the second stop will be held at Atlanta Dragway in Commerce, Georgia through the weekend of April 10-13 for the 6th-annual NMRA/NMCA All-Star Nationals where breaking records is the theme. This is one of the largest muscle car events of the year and 15,000 fans will fill up the spectator stands to take in the action below.
The third stop, May 2-4, will feature a special SVT Shootout and includes a tour of Ford's factory hot rod shop at Special Vehicle Team (SVT). This will take place at the beautiful Maryland International Raceway (MIR) in Mechanicsville, MD. Fitting, right? This event will feature SVT racing and show categories. First up, the Terminator vs. Shelby GT500 Shootout will settle the bragging rights for the year. This is also the place to see the modified SVT Lightning trucks conquer the quarter-mile in the Truck & Lightning category. Drivers will compete alongside Johnny Lightning in his fast-as-lightning supercharged truck. TREMEC True Street will be presented by Muscle Mustangs & Fast Fords, and is one of the largest classes to run on Saturday at each NMRA event. There will be a special SVT True Street Class ('93 to '13 SVT cars & trucks only) with its own cash and prizes to for the SVT racers. The SVT racers will make three consecutive passes down the quarter-mile strip, and $250 plus a 6-foot trophy will be awarded to the overall fastest competitor. Also, $100 and a plaque will be awarded to each racer with the closest average to 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 and 15 seconds!
After that, it's off to Summit Motorsports Park in Norwalk, Ohio for a special event – the NMRA Ford Super Nationals. This will take place the weekend of June 12-15, and will host two exciting events! Again, the official 2nd-annual Muscle Mustangs & Fast Fords All-Female Shootout will bring the fastest female racers together at one event where the ladies will race for cash and bragging rights. Also scheduled for this exciting weekend is the True Street Battle Royale presented by Muscle Mustangs & Fast Fords and it is said to be the largest True Street event of the year.
The NMRA and NMCA will come together again for the second time for the 2014 season at Route 66 Raceway in Joliet, Illinois. This four-day event will take place from July 10-13. Unlike All-Star Nationals where breaking records is key, the Super Bowl of Street-Legal Drag Racing will go head-to-head where NMRA class winners compete against NMCA rivals for bonus cash and for a chance to win the Nitto Tire Diamond Tree Super Bowl Ring. This ring laden with diamonds was designed exclusively for this Super Bowl event.
The 16th-annual NMRA All-Ford World Finals will take on Beech Bend Raceway October 2-5 where Mustangs will invade the city of Bowling Green, Kentucky. This has been the place to go for major Ford events since the first World Ford Challenge back in 1998. The NMRA World Finals are a huge part of the NMRA World Finals where racers put everything on the line for a final chance to win the Nitto Tire Diamond Tree Championship Rings. This weekend will bring wheelie-performing Street Outlaws and Renegades as well as stock cars and everything in between. Muscle Mustangs & Fast Fords will present the TREMEC True Street class, which has averaged 100+ competitors the past two years. The 2014 event will bring together ten of the most powerful, gorgeous and well-engineered Mustangs from across the nation to compete in 5.0 Mustang & Super Fords' King of the Street competition. Each competitor will be judged on performance on the quarter-mile, horsepower, and appearance with the overall winner taking home the title of King of the Street. The NMRA World Finals will also bring the Terminator/GT500 Shootout where the fastest '03/'04 Cobras and GT500s will compete against each other for bragging rights.
Each one of these NMRA events will feature a UPR Products All-Ford Car Show where hundreds of blue oval cars from old-school to modern, from stock to super modified, will welcome the hundreds of onlookers. Magazine editors will be walking the show looking for future features and cover cars. A huge all-Ford manufacturers' midway and swap meet will grace each event. Be sure to hit up the ATM to grab cash for that part you've been meaning to find! Also, flame-throwing 300+ mph jet cars will make passes at select events, and the world famous NMRA burnout contest will take place where contestants are known for blowing tires and obliterating engines for the roar of the crowd!

By Todd Friel
If you do not know what it means to be an evangelical Christian, it basically works like this: you say a prayer, ask Jesus into your heart and then you vote Republican and start watching Fox News. A lot.
Evangelical, Republican and Fox go together like Groucho, Harpo and Zeppo (or Phillips, Craig and Dean if you like). It would appear that the Republican Party and Fox News might be parting company with those of us who are bornagain.
- Immediately after the election, our beloved Fox analyst Bernie Goldberg informed us that we need to stop "Bible bashing" and get out of people's bedrooms.Bill O'Reilly agreed with Bernie.
- Peggy Noonan just wrote, "We are a center-right country, but the Republican Party over the next few years will have to ponder again what center-right means." Maybe that is why she voted for radical pro-abort Barak Obama in 2008.
- Anne Coulter recently described those of us who hold to a 100% pro-life position (even in the case of rape and incest) as "insane positions with no practical purpose whatsoever, other than showing off." Perhaps she should tell that to pro-life warrior Rebecca Kiessling who is the product of a rape and two failed abortion attempts.
We should not be shocked at this. Did we really think Bernie was one of us? Did we imagine for a second that Mr. Karma, Bill O'Reilly, was a true friend of evangelicals? Why did we think that Peggy and Anne were on our team?
Why are we evangelicals so quick to embrace anyone who is for lower taxes and eliminating Obama-care? Did we ever consider Bernie's statement of faith before we engaged in our slobbering love affair with him? Bill O'Reilly's strongest religious profession is to talk about "the deity." Anne Coulter once stated that she believes Jews can go to heaven without faith in Jesus Christ. As for Peggy Noonan, perhaps you read her 2005 best-seller, John Paul the Great.
Perhaps we should start vetting "conservatives" before we give them our time, attention and loyalty.
Make no mistake about it, while Roger Aisles is a conservative (and sort of practicing Roman Catholic), he is in business to make money. Period. If ratings drooped at Fox, he would veer to the demographic that provided the most ratings points for the Fox sales department.
The Republican Party is not a religious organization. They are a political party whose loyalties lay in winning elections. If winning the White House means turning their back on us "useful idiots," they will.
This is not to suggest that evangelicals should not watch Fox News or be involved in the Republican Party, but let us remember who we are dealing with and how we should consider them. "Do not be bound together with unbelievers; for what partnership have righteousness and lawlessness, or what fellowship has light with darkness? (II Cor.6:14).
Evangelicals, we are not a political party. We are the church. Let's remember that next time around.

It's Ask Dr. Phil and Robin Day, and you won't believe the questions they answer! Can you really be allergic to your soul mate? Should a mom let her 17-year-old son go on a spring break trip? They tackle these questions and more!
Allergies or Anxieties?
Derren says he's allergic to his girlfriend, Ana. He breaks out in hives, gets itchy eyes and suffers migraines when they spend time together. They have tried multiple remedies but nothing works to ease the itch.
Can you really be allergic to your soul mate?
Living in the Limelight
You may know him as a sexy Abercrombie & Fitch model, but now many people recognize Albert Reed from his appearance on Dancing with the Stars, when he brought the crowd to its feet with his performance of the cha-cha.
Find out why Albert's new-found stardom is tripping him up.
The Deciding Vote?
Penny says no way can her 17-year-old son, Austin, go on a spring break trip. She says he'll be exposed to too much drinking and too many scantily clad girls. Penny's husband, Bruce, says the benefits outweigh the risks.
What do Dr. Phil and Robin think?
Total Momsense
It caused a sensation on YouTube, and now, Anita Renfroe performs her two-minute-and-55-second song about what moms say to their kids in a 24-hour period for Dr. Phil's audience.
A Marked Woman?
As a young adult, Kristin saw wild times and made some bad decisions, including adorning her body with four tattoos she can't even remember getting. Now a conservative mom and aspiring author, Kristen says when people see her markings they don't take her seriously.
How can Kirstin put the shame behind her and move on?
Behind the Scenes
Dr. Phil receives many e-mails asking how the videotape pieces that appear in every show are produced. Segment Director Nicole von Ruden demonstrates the process … and unbeknownst to her, becomes the star of the show.
See Dr. Phil and Robin's surprises for Nicole!
Update: Unfortunately, Nicole lost her battle with cancer on August 7, 2008. Her bright smile and warm personality will be missed by all who knew her. She was a very important member of the Dr. Phil staff, and her contributions were integral to the success of the show. Her gracious spirit will live on forever.
So much remains to be learned about brain tumors, and an endowment fund has been set up at the UCSF Brain Tumor Research Center in Nicole's name. To donate in her honor, please click on the following link and make sure to include Nicole's name in your donation:

Steve Martin Becomes a Dad at 67
Steve Martin has become a first-time dad at the age of 67... and is apparently wonderful at keeping a secret! The actor-turned-bluegrass-musician welcomed his first child in December 2012.
Martin's rep confirms to People that he and wife Anne Stringfield "are new parents and recently welcomed a child."
"Steve's very private," a source says, according to Radar Online, explaining why the couple has been rather mum about the news. "They are thrilled. They worked hard to have the baby."
Martin and Stringfield wed in 2007 after a three-year relationship. No word on the gender or name of the baby, but the bundle of joy is both the actor's first child and a first for the couple.
It looks as though Martin will stay extremely busy in 2013, juggling fatherhood and his budding bluegrass career. The banjo virtuoso has joined forces with folk-rock singer-songwriter Edie Brickell for their 'Love Will Come for You' album, which is expected to be released on April 23.
"The banjo can be so evocative when it's used sparingly, and that was in the back of my mind as we were writing," Martin says of his contribution to the new project. "It's the way I've longed to play and hear the banjo, rather than it being present at every moment. In these songs, the point is to tell the story and get out."
The dynamic duo will tour with the Steep Canyon Rangers to promote the project, which was produced by Peter Asher. Guest appearances include Esperanza Spalding and Nickel Creek sibling bandmates Sara and Sean Watkins.

Just yesterday we learned that Guillermo del Toro's horror novel series "The Strain" is planned for adaptation as a television pilot on FX. Tonight, Shock caught up with the man himself on the red carpet for Universal Studios Hollywood's Halloween Horror Nights Eyegore awards where he gave us a brief update on the status of that project and also responded to the recent news that his upcoming Pacific Rim would be post-converted to 3D.
"Fox has commissioned a pilot," he says of the former project which he has hopes will go to series. "Fortunately for me, that means they're not commissioning a screenplay or development. We're going right to pilot. That's a very good piece of news."
Pacific Rim, meanwhile, is in post-production and is targeting a July 12, 2013 release with a cast that includes Charlie Hunnam, Rinko Kikuchi, Idris Elba, Ron Perlman and Charlie Day. Not planning for 3D from the project's inception, del Toro explains that certain factors had to be agreed to to get him to change his mind on the post-conversion. Check out his thoughts after the break!
"What happened was, in the weeks and months following Comic-Con, what I asked from the studio was to agree to four points that I wanted to do," he says. "The more the ILM shots arrived, the more I realized that there were only a few shots that would miniaturize. I asked the studio, number one, that we would not hyper-stereo-lize the thing. That we would not force 3D on the beauty shots. That we would keep the giant dimensions. They agreed. Number two, they agreed to something very unusual. Normally a conversion takes a few weeks. I asked to start it immediately so we could take the full 40 weeks to do the conversion. As an example, 'Titanic' took about 50 weeks to convert. The final thing that I asked that they agreed to, which was amazing, was that I asked them to give me an extra budget, which is considerable, to actually have ILM composite the shots that are CG native 3D. We're not giving elements. ILM is giving the composite in 3D from the get-go. That's a huge, huge element. Now I'm going to be involved in supervising it. What can I tell you? I changed my mind. I'm not running for office. I can do a Romney."
What's even better to hear is that work on Pacific Rim's post-production is moving along magnificently. "It's going great," del Toro continues, "We're about 40 weeks away from opening but, nevertheless, the pace is breakneck. So far, though, it's been the best experience I've ever had." Check back for updates on both projects in the months to come!

Do you know someone who loves trains? Then by all means, go buy or check out Steam Train, Dream Train. It was created by Sherri Duskey Rinker and Tom Lichtenheld, the same team that brought us Goodnight, Goodnight, Construction Site. Lichtenheld's wax pastel illustrations are drawn with - I don't know how else to say it - the lights out? This is a tale told with the lights off. It's a bedtime story in the most literal sense.
The story starts with the steam train pulling into the Night Falls Station where a great bunch of animals load it with cargo. Unlike their previous book, the vehicles in this story play it straight. Only the animals have faces. There are comforting similarities to my childhood copy of The Little Engine That Could by Watty Piper in how the train is being loaded with stuff that a child finds important like toys and ice cream and sand. But this train does not have engine difficulties and as soon as it is loaded up the animals find a place to sleep as they go "chuffing" off into the night.
Next to the dreamy illustrations, the best part is that Rinker introduces the names of the different kinds of rail cars with each turn of the page. I didn't know the difference between a well car and a gondola before reading this book, but now I do. And I was inspired to look up the rest of the cars, as well. Wikipedia has an exhaustive list, of course, of the different types of railroad cars with links to photos and descriptions. Chateau Meddybemps' What's in Those Train Cars? is just part of an awesome site with some very Montessori-type activities about trains. Even if you don't check out this book, be sure to check out that web site.
Your child might take in Lichtenheld's illustrations and anticipate the ending but I - always willing to believe - did not. It is a pleasant surprise that takes the reader seriously. And if you are comforted by a book that has 'educational' value for your child, Rinker offers new words like "chromy", "stow", and "convoy" to build your preschooler's vocabulary.
This book was published in April, 2013 by Chronicle Books and is 40 pages. It is currently available in hardcover at Barnes & Noble in Lafayette and online at Amazon.com.
Happy Reading!
"We live with some big mysteries. When we come upon one, we're given a little gift. Every mystery is something for all of us to wonder about together. What do you wonder about?"
Author Annaka Harris noticed that her 2-year-old daughter was starting to ignore questions she could not answer. Eventually, she started giving false answers. Harris realized that she had failed to teach her daughter that it's okay to not know an answer. Unable to find a picture book that dealt with the experience of not knowing, Harris wrote I Wonder with illustrator John Rowe.
I Wonder follows Eva and her mother on a walk through the woods. The little girl is looking up at the moon and notices that it seems to follow them on their walk. The mother asks Eva if she knows why that happens? When Eva doesn't have an answer, her mother explains that it's okay to say, "I don't know." Eva's mother then shares what she understands about the moon and gravity, but admits there is a lot she does not know about it.
Other questions are raised about life cycles and the number of grains of sand in the world. The pair talk about what they know about these things but also why it's important to wonder about things they don't know.
This unusual book is a pleasure to read. It offers a refreshing change from "fast books" that cram facts onto pages in order to offer young readers an educational experience. I Wonder speaks to a child's emotional intelligence and her ability to learn about herself while pondering the mysteries of the universe. This story is a good jumping off point for discussions between children and caregivers because it asks, "What do you wonder about?"
John Rowe's illustrations also inspire a sense of wonder as he creates the planets, sand, and butterflies about which Eva is so curious.
Harris is an editor of science books and also writes with her husband, Sam Harris. Dr. Harris is an author, philosopher, and neuroscientist. Both are co-founders of the non-profit group Project Reason.
I Wonder was published in October, 2013, by Four Elephants Press after being funded by Harris's Kickstarter campaign. It is 40 pages and is currently available in hardcover and kindle edition only at Amazon.com.
If you like to look at picture books even when your child is fast asleep, this book is for you! It has captivating detail and, because it has no words, it truly lets the reader tell the story.
Journey is the wordless picture story of a lonely city girl whose parents and sister are much too busy - two-thirds of them with electronic devices - to spend time with her one afternoon. She uses a mysterious red marker to draw herself into an adventure. If that sounds like the concept behind Harold and the Purple Crayon - it is. But that's where the similarities between the two stories end. Whereas Harold drew his way out of his house and then drew everything else around him, this story's heroine uses her red marker only to get from place to imaginary place. Those places are brought to luminous life by author/illustrator Aaron Becker's watercolor and pen and ink illustrations.
The girl's simply-drawn red rowboat carries her through a forest and into a series of Escheresque canals in an ancient city. She narrowly averts disaster by drawing then hitching a ride in a hot air balloon that lifts her to another series of adventures. The girl's kindness and bravery literally open new imaginary doors for her that ultimately lead her to a new friendship - and what do you know? Her new friend lives just down the street from her house in the city. The two of them combine their imaginative powers to create a new adventure for themselves.
A child can look at this book for a long, long time. Children who like to figure out how things work will like it, especially. It's a book for thinkers. It's the kind of book that I would like to open up with a 4-year-old and say, "Oh my! What's happening here?" I love those kinds of stories.
Journey was published by Candlewick Press in August, 2013. It is 40 pages and available in hardcover. You can purchase it locally at Barnes & Noble and Von's Books. You can also buy it online at Amazon.com.
For a real treat, check out Aaron Becker's sketchbook with illustrations from this story at Design Sponge.
This book is another gift selection this year, this time for my 3-year-old niece. It was a New York Times Best Seller in 2011 and it fits nicely in this week's duo of books about girls growing up to be strong women.
My Name Is Not Isabella: Just How Big Can a Little Girl Dream? follows little Isabella through her day at home and school. Each time her mother calls to her to come down for breakfast or to get ready for bed Isabella announces that she has become someone else.
"Good morning, Isabella," the mother said. "It's time to get up and out of bed."
"My name is not Isabella!" said the little girl.
"Then who has been sleeping in my daughter's bed?" asked the mother.
"I am Sally, the greatest, toughest astronaut who ever was!"
"Well, Sally, blast out of your bed, put on your space suit and come downstairs for breakfast."
From astronaut Sally Ride to sharpshooter Annie Oakley, Isabella imagines she is many different influential women throughout history. And each time she changes her mind her mom responds with patience and a great sense of humor. Mike Litwin's illustration style varies throughout the book to include drawings and photo collages. Looking for these subtle differences in the images adds to the fun. When it's time to get on the school bus, Isabella becomes civil rights activist Rosa Parks. I was moved by Litwin's illustration of this page in Isabella's history.
Author Jennifer Fosberry keeps the text simple using just the first names of each historical figure but she provides biographies at the end of the book as well as a list of works consulted that will guide you to more information about each woman. This story is not "teachy" but it provides a nice jumping-off point for a discussion between a caregiver and child about how these women - and many others - have changed the world.
This book is also available with a boy at the center of the story in My Name is Not Alexander: Just How Big Can a Little Kid Dream? Another exciting option is to have this story customized with your special child's name at putmeinthestory.com.
My Name Is Not Isabella was published in 2008 by Sourcebooks/Jabberwocky. It is 32 pages and is available in hardcover, paperback, and e-book versions.
Happy reading,
I am blessed with six nieces who are, in turn, blessed by having everything they need. I give them books for Christmas gifts. Every child needs a new book.
This year, the 7-year-olds will be receiving Someday written by Eileen Spinelli, author of When Mama Comes Home Tonight and Something to Tell the Grandcows. It is illustrated by Rosie Winstead who is also an author with a new book, Sprout Helps Out, due in Spring 2014.
The girl in Someday looks like a 7-year-old and that's what made it stand out among the picture books, to me. She's a big kid and even though the story will really appeal to those strong young women on your list, it's a great story for even younger children, too.
In Someday, the girl is dreaming about the great things she will accomplish someday when she is older. Someday she will have lunch with the President at the White House. She will give him a box of golf balls and she will not drop any of her salad on the rug.
The story alternates from this someday of the future to today when she is preparing for those adventures. Today she is eating lunch with her little brother Roger who talks with his mouth full and spills his milk. Someday she will spend the night in Egypt and sleep next to a pyramid. Tonight she is sleeping next to Roger because he is afraid of monsters.
The future is described in grown-up detail while the present is written more simply. She is not really wishing for the future but she is aware that she will be more confident and have it together - someday. I imagine that the girl's current and future selves are able to communicate and they take turns writing this story.
Rosie Winstead's inviting illustrations show an imperfect and changing girl who is beautiful, uncertain, sometimes bossy and sometimes very kind. She's a real girl and this book takes her and its young readers seriously. There are also a few secrets in the illustrations that children will enjoy discovering for themselves. I highly recommend this book for any young ladies on your holiday or birthday gift list.
Someday was published by Dial in 2007. It is 32 pages and available in hardcover and paperback editions.
Happy reading!

6 Ways to Turn a Job Fair into a Job
Steve Berman | SalesHQ
Tip No. 1: Look the part
Clearly you're looking for work, but you don't want to look too unemployed. You want to look professional, dynamic, and put together. Companies aren't looking to perform charity work at job fairs. They're looking to meet and snag the best candidates before their competition does.
What does that mean? Treat the job fair like an interview in all ways, including how you look. Women shouldn't wear clothing that looks too casual or revealing, while men should leave the sneakers and five o'clock shadow at home. Part of the advantage of a job fair is that hiring managers are able to put a face to a name. You want to make the best first impression you can. In other words, wear a suit unless the type of work you're seeking is extremely casual.

Green Tea Extract, derived from the Camellia sinensis plant, has been used as a tonic in traditional Chinese and Japanese medicine for superior health and longevity for centuries. Green tea has a very high concentration of polyphenols and catechins, which gives it excellent antioxidant benefits. Black tea, the oxidized form of the same plant, is also a known source of polyphenols and thermogenic caffeine. Recent research has shown that daily consumption of organic green tea extract that contains at least 90mg of Epigallocatechin Gallate (EGCG) increases fat oxidation and contributes to a reduced body fat.*
InVite® Health's Green Tea Hx® supplements provide a potent blend of Black and Green Tea extract, polyphenols, EGCG, and theaflavins (antioxidant polyphenols formed during the fermentation of black tea).
Green tea and EGCG have been the subject of numerous human clinical studies. EGCG has been shown in these clinical studies to inhibit the absorption of fat into the cells, and at higher doses, it may help to burn body fat and reduce your waistline. Green tea quickly travels throughout your system, offering major antioxidant protection for the digestive tract, a man's prostate, and a woman's breasts and cervical tissue. As a result, it helps reduce the risk of dangerous cellular changes. Green tea also supports the upper respiratory tract, and taking it in supplement form can be very beneficial during cold and flu season. Green tea's EGCG supports cardiovascular health by protecting the blood vessel walls and increasing circulation to the heart and brain, the sites of vascular changes.*
Green tea is also great for your skin, as it rejuvenates the skin cells and improves the overall look and texture, even in aging skin. It's also been shown to control the bacteria associated with dental health, as well as support for the digestive system, as green tea works against harmful bacteria in the digestive tract, but ignores the healthy bacteria required for good digestion.*
For great discounts, a superb assortment of top-grade nutraceuticals and nutritional supplements like Green Tea Extract, and access to our professional nutritionists, look no further - great health starts right here at InVite® Health. To purchase Green Tea Hx® by phone, call us today at (800) 632-0541 or click here to find a store near you!
Suggested Usage: As a dietary supplement for adults, take one (1) capsule once or twice a day, or as directed by a health care professional. For best effect try using before physical activity.

Green Tea: Burn Calories and Increase Antioxidant Protection
What is Green Tea?
Green tea and black tea are both derived from the Camellia sinensis plant, but green tea does not undergo the fermentation process needed to make black tea. This allows for green tea's high antioxidant content – green tea in particular is very high in antioxidants, also known as catechins. The most important antioxidant in green tea is a catechin known as EGCG, which is known to be a powerful fat-burning ingredient.
Best taken:
Where does Green Tea come from?
Green tea grows in rainy areas with tropical and subtropical climates throughout the world. However, Japan, India and China are the most well-known sources of commercial-grade green tea.
Green Tea Extract, derived from the Camellia sinensis plant, has been used as a tonic in traditional Chinese and Japanese medicine for superior health and longevity for centuries.

Dude, Connie is a girl's name. Why would a skinny guy who already had been hit with the ugly stick want to compound his problems by going by "Connie"??ReplyDelete
Ha. Mike Fraysse (who rarely retold stories to the same groups, despite having 50+ years in the world of bikes)once decided to make fun of three people in the same story: Eddie B., Davis Phinney and Connie Carpenter.ReplyDelete
Fraysse goes, "Hey, did you hear what Eddie B. said about Davis Phinney's major physical problem?" And the listener would wait with eagerness to hear the pronouncement of the proud Polish coach.
"Well," says Fraysse, "keep in mind, this was after some race that they'd both competed in [in individual events], so Eddie B. looks at Davis - who has just won first place - and says to him in his heavily-accented Polish-English: 'Davis, do you know what yoooour problemm iz? You have zee strong legs, but [casts his eyes in the direction of Connie] weak eyes.'"
Mike Fraysse...he was a fun guy to be around and, for many years, he was a good mentor as well.

Movies: 'Inside Llewyn Davis,' 'Grudge Match' & '47 Ronin'
Following are Susan Granger's reviews of the latest movies in area theaters:
Filmmakers Joel and Ethan Coen have concocted a droll, darkly sardonic comedy, pivoting on the sweet desperation of one week in the life of a folksinger in New York's Greenwich Village in 1961.
Ever since he left the Merchant Marines, Llewyn Davis (Oscar Isaac) has been trying to earn a living as a musician, but it just isn't working out for him. Homeless, he often sleeps on a sofa at the Garfeins, bohemian academics (Ethan Phillips, Robin Bartlett) who live near Columbia University.
One day, when leaving their apartment, their cat escapes, igniting a series of escapades, leading Llewyn back to MacDougall Street, where he also crashes with Jean (Carey Mulligan) and Jim (Justin Timberlake) Berkey, but there are alienating complications inherent in that relationship. So, toting his guitar, Llewyn takes off on an ill-fated road trip to Chicago with two strangers (Garrett Hedlund, John Goodman) to audition for a music manager (F. Murray Abraham). As is often the case, it's the journey that's important, not the destination.
The Coen brothers ("True Grit," "O Brother, Where Art Thou?") create an irritable, eccentric central character whose choices are relentlessly self-defeating, resulting in unrelenting misery.
Half-Guatemalan/half-Cuban, Miami-raised Isaac is superb as the surly, self-sabotaging misanthropist, revealing a silky voice as he sings soulful songs in the Gaslight Cafe, hoping -- in vain -- for commercial success, as Bruno Delbonnel's cinematography captures winter's frigidity.
The terrific Americana soundtrack, recorded live and produced by T-Bone Burnett, includes "Hang Me, Oh Hang Me," "Fare Thee Well," "500 Miles," "The Death of Queen Jane" and an amusing novelty ditty, "Please Mr. Kennedy" -- with nods to the Clancy Brothers, Brooklyn's Dave Van Ronk and Bob Dylan.
On the Granger Movie Gauge of 1 to 10, "Inside Llewyn Davis" is an enthralling, enlightening 8, evoking Nobel Prize-winning novelist William Faulkner's words: "I believe man will not merely endure: he will prevail. He is immortal, not because he alone among the creatures has an inexhaustible voice, but because he has a soul, a spirit capable of compassion and sacrifice and endurance."
It's a bit misleading to believe that just because 67-year-old Sylvester Stallone and 70-year-old Robert De Niro are sparring in a boxing ring, there's going to be a retirement-age match between Rocky Balboa and Jake "Raging Bull" LaMotta. 'Cause that's not what happens.
Having retired from boxing, Henry "Razor" Sharp (Stallone) works in a steel mill, which helps pay retirement home bills for his curmudgeonly former trainer, Lightning Conlon (Alan Arkin). Razor's perennial Pittsburgh rival, womanizing Billy "The Kid" McDonnen (De Niro), owns a car dealership and a steakhouse, where he continues to milk his fleeting fame in a nightclub act. As light heavyweights, they fought each other twice -- back in the 1980s -- each scoring one victory. But then Razor abruptly -- and inexplicably -- quit boxing, leaving McDonnen yearning for that elusive third battle for the crown.
Cue the fast-talking son of their former promoter, Dante Slate Jr. (Kevin Hart), who cleverly manipulates both men into participating in a video game. Their unexpected brawl during a motion-capture session becomes a viral sensation, leading to a real rematch, which is dubbed "Grudgement Day." Adding emotional complications, the woman who once came between them (Kim Basinger) resurfaces, along with McDonnen's now-grown, illegitimate son (Jon Bernthal), who becomes his trainer.
Screenwriters Tim Kelleher and Rodney Rothman ("First Kid," "Two and a Half Men") have patched together snippets of cliched nostalgia, mixed with legendary imagery, crudely masquerading as a script.
The flaccid direction of Peter Segal ("Get Smart") encourages both Stallone and De Niro to unabashedly ham it up. And watching these two wrinkled, leathery grandfathers -- who are way past their prime -- strip to the waist, touch gloves and duke it out in a big arena showdown in front of cheering crowds is not only callously cruel but also pathetic. Adding insult to injury, the CGI placement of Stallone and De Niro's youthful faces on other actors' bodies is visually ludicrous.
On the Granger Movie Gauge of 1 to 10, "Grudge Match" flails at a 5 -- with the funniest scenes occurring during the end credits.
When a lavish 3-D fantasy/action feature about legendary samurai bombs in Japan before it has even opened in the U.S., you know there's a problem.
Set in 18th-century feudal Japan, Keanu Reeves plays Kai, a half-English/half-Japanese outsider who is one of the 47 warriors who become masterless samurai, known as "ronin," after villainous Lord Kira (Tadanobu Asano) forces Lord Asano Naganori (Min Tanaka) to commit seppuku and then claims the land.
Though not accepted by his fellow exiles, mystical Kai was trained in demonic sorcery and survival skills by the earless/noseless snake men in the Tengu forest who, eventually, supply the ronin with swords to avenge the dishonor to their master.
To complicate matters, lowly Kai is secretly in love with Asano's beautiful daughter Mika (Ko Shibasak), who has been promised to top-ranking warrior Oishi (Hiroyuki Sanada). Heroic Oishi, Kai and their stoic cohorts must battle not only Kira's army but also menacing CGI beasts and a vampy, shape-shifting sorceress (Rinko Kikuchi), who transforms into a giant snake.
As related in the opening voice-over, the fundamental story is based on a revered historical Japanese legend about disenfranchised samurai, often referred to as "Chushingura," who avenged the death and disgrace of Lord Asano, despite orders from the ruling Shogun not to retaliate.
Formulaically scripted by Chris Morgan ("Fast and Furious 6") and Hossein Amini ("Drive," "Snow White and the Huntsman"), it's directed as a first feature by Carl Rinsch, who built his reputation with high-concept BMW and Heineken TV commercials.
Problem is that it's confusing, poorly paced and mindlessly generic, despite its reportedly bloated $175-plus million budget, which is evident in Jan Roelfs' sumptuous production design and John Mathieson's sweeping cinematography.
The tragic characters are solemn, inscrutable caricatures, offering the audience little emotional investment.
Having directed "Man of Tai Chi" and starred in "The Matrix" franchise, Reeves' affection for Asian martial arts is evident -- but enough is enough.
On the Granger Movie Gauge of 1 to 10, "47 Ronin" is a dull, faltering 4. Perhaps it's meant to be a video game.

99designs12346 necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 49 diseños de 22 diseñadores freelance.
We're an indoor advertising agency. We'll be working with Restaurants, Gyms, Bars, etc, to place advertisements indoors (bathroom stalls, etc). However, we dont want our logo to reflect an indoor environment, since we'd like to eventually move into other forms of advertisement (outdoors). Our main business will be to coordinate the ad placement/rotations between advertisers and the hosts (restaurants, etc), and not creating the ads themselves.
Our company logo will be placed in a each one of our poster ads, website, flyers, and business cards.
Our target audience is any business who would like to target specific demographics by gender, income, lifestyle, etc. (Example, certain bars are frequented by college students, so advertisers whose business target college students might want to advertise in those locations. Other businesses who perhaps sell athletic apparel might want to advertise inside gyms).
We want our logo to be creative, implying a new creative company - not so formal.
We would like bold colors, such as blue, red, and maybe yellow to be predominant.
We need the name "MediaSquib" to be easily readable (not in smaller text)
Attached files:
example.jpg - We dont want our logo to look anything like what our competitor's "logo" looks like. It's much too simplistic and boring.
oursimpleida.jpg - This is a simple idea one of us had, so we'd like to explore that concept, but we're by no means set on that.
star - This is what that person had in mind for the "star" on oursimpleidea.jpg. Again, we're not sold on this concept yet, so you're free to try other completely different avenues.
This is our first logo design request, so I'm sure we missed some obvious things. Please feel free to ask for input.

Italian Meatball Burgers (Adapted from CL)
16 ounces ground sirloin
8 ounces hot Italian turkey sausage, casings removed
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon fennel seeds, crushed
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
2 to 3 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese, thinly sliced
6 burger buns, split and lightly toasted
3/4 cup warmed marinara sauce
Preheat grill.
In a large bowl, add sirloin, sausage, oregano, basil, fennel seeds, salt, pepper and garlic powder - mix just until combined. Evenly divide beef mixture into 6 portions, shaping each into a patty. Press your thumb in the middle of each burger to make an indent - this helps keep the burger from being misshapen once it has cooked.
Place burgers onto the grill and cook for about 5 minutes, turn patties over and cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Evenly divide fresh mozzarella over each patty and continue to cook until the burgers are cooked through and reach 165 degrees on an instant read thermometer. Remove burgers from the grill and let rest for 5 minutes.
Place 1 patty on the bottom half of each bun - top each with about 2 tablespoons of the sauce and the top half of the bun.
Makes 6 servings.

Okay gun grabbing, anti freedom, big government, statist, leeches…Whom think you need to be involved in every facet of my being..
If you quit worrying about me..
How I live..
And what I do..
If you leave my beliefs alone..
My desires.
My will to succeed and have a decent life.
TO help others as I see fit..
My belief in do onto others as I would have them do onto me..Not as you would have them do onto me..
My firm belief that I and I alone am responsible for myself and my family..
My belief in fair laws and fair government.
We could get along just fine..
But you won't.
So therefore we have a problem..
Is why I have a gun.
Why I know how to use and shoot them..
To protect myself from oppressive ogres such as you..
Myself, my family, my Faith, my friends…My Freedom
And remain free from you..
And free from an oppressive government lead by those whom think they know what is best for me..
When you realize what that means and how important it is to me..
We'll be fine..
But you won't..
You seem to refuse to stay out of my life.
I don't like that and refuse to cooperate with you..
So when you come a' threatening and try dictating your will on me..
Be ready to return fire..
Cause that seems to be what you want..
Come get some..fire…
I'll have it hot and ready for you..

"Hi, I'm calling from the real estate agency to see if you have rented your house yet for August."
"No, I haven't. Your office is in the village, right?"
"Yes, it is. Why?"
"Would you do me a favor? Would you go to Citarella and get me a half-pound of flounder?"
The above represents just one out of many jaw-droppingly, astonishingly stupid and funny anecdotes included in a new book, "The Hamptons Real Estate Horror Show," penned, perhaps understandably, by Anonymous Times Two.
"We have a combined half-century of experience in real estate," Anon One said during a clandestine rendezvous at a secret location.
"We met at an open house," said Anon Two, who then added nostalgically, "I was a bitch."
"No," said Anon One. "I liked you as soon as I met you."
After a couple from Manhattan has viewed 10 houses for sale (one of which they swooned over and stayed in for over an hour), they get in their car and head back to the city. Somewhere between Manorville and Manhattan, they call me.
"Now that you know what we like," they say, "we know you'll call us when you find it."
"We've been astounded by these people, astounded," said Anon One. "We had material galore." Why anonymous? The pair exchanged a knowing glance. "We decided that we might want to stay in the business," Anon Two admitted.
Some of the anecdotes come from other brokers, but most are from personal experience, and all of them, the duo emphasized, are true.
"The hardest part of real estate is to be nice and helpful to these wackos," said Anon Two. "They want what they want when they want it," Anon One said. "You can work with someone for three years, but if they come in on your day off to make a deal, you lose the commission."
"My wife was awakened at five-thirty this morning by the birds!"
"Oh, I'm so sorry to hear that, but what would you like me to do?"
"Have them eliminated."
"It's like no other place in the world, this area. Out here, real estate is a hobby," said Anon One.
"It's an addiction," added Anon Two. "This isn't how it is in the Midwest. When I first got into real estate out here, I was mortified. It was like being a used car salesman; I didn't want anyone to know what I did for a living. Now," she said, "if you say you're in real estate, everyone has a question for you. It's the topic of conversation at every party."
" 'How much is my house worth?' is the number-one question," said Anon One. "Houses here aren't homes, at least not for the rich. They're just stock, to be bought and sold and traded."
The book, available locally at BookHampton, or at Amazon — including a Kindle edition — is flying off the shelves. "Word is out in the real estate world," Anon Two said with a chuckle. "Everyone wants to see if they can figure out who wrote it. And no one thinks it's us."
The two feel strongly about maintaining their anonymity, especially with a continued wealth of material. "We could write endless sequels," said Anon One. "It never stops. There will never be a shortage of obnoxious people out here."
Anon Two expressed a somewhat secret hope that the book might be picked up for a TV series. "It's ready-made for television," she said.
In the meantime, buyers, renters, sellers, and brokers can peruse the pages of "The Hamptons Real Estate Horror Show" and wonder if the broad caricatures depicted therein are reminiscent of someone they see when they look in the mirror.
