Wide array of releases to talk about this week. First we have Legend of the Naga Pearls. The film is a total head scratcher. I have no idea what's going on, but I also kind of liked it. It has some great action, wire work and visuals, but the story I didn't understand one bit. There are winged people who need to get the pearls in order to destroy humans. I get that aspect of it, but all the characters and the journey and everything didn't make sense. But I dug the visuals and fight sequences. The wire work is good even though you can clearly tell it's wire work, but I like seeing people jump from rooftop to rooftop and getting kicked across rooms. It's an odd film and I don't think it's for everyone, but if you like Asian visuals and over the top stories, you might like it.
Next is East West 101 Series 1 out of Australia. I really wanted to like this, but it feels like so many other cop procedurals. The only slight bit of originality is the lead is a Muslim dealing with a post 9/11 anti-Muslim world. Unfortunately that's the only thing that separates it from other shows. The writing and action are generic. You know instantly which other cop he's going to butt heads with. You know him being a Muslim will have him looked at differently by others and will play a role in every episode. The lead is very good, I just wish the show didn't feel like so many other cop shows I've seen.
Third is Ray Donovan Season 5. The show is one of my parents' favorite and overall I like it, I just think it's on its last legs. The first few seasons were great TV, but the past two have just been ok. I like it and will continue watching it when it hits DVD, but I can't see it lasting 2-3 more seasons. In season 5 Ray deals with anger management, there's a wedding, Conor adjusts to military school, the movie business draws Ray in as a story and much more. If you've seen the previous season, definitely pick up the latest season.
Sticking with TV, Steven Universe The Complete First Season is also out. I totally understand why kids love this show. It's colorful. It's fun. It has colorful and fun characters. There is adventure and music and so much more. What I don't get is how popular it is with adults. I'm serious. I know adults who LOVE this show. I don't get it. Kids loving it makes sense for all the reasons I mentioned, but adults? They liked My Little Pony too so I guess anything is possible. This collection has 52 episodes of adventures with Steven, Pearl, Amethyst, Garnet and all the others. It makes no sense why this is a hit among adults, but hey maybe you like and want it. Your kids will love it for sure though.
Speaking of things that make no sense, The Square is next. Nominated for a Best Foreign Language Oscar, to me the film is nearly unwatchable. It's stupid. Christian is a curator at a museum and they have a new exhibit coming out, The Square. It's a square that people stand in and everyone is treated the same. Ok I get that. I'm expecting the film to be about that art work and the artist, but no, it's about a marketing attempt gone wrong, Christian sleeping with an American (Elisabeth Moss) and how pretentious art is. I'm not an art person, I think most of it is trash and even one of the exhibits in the film is just piles of dirt. I didn't understand the movie at all. I didn't get the monkey guy (seen on the cover art). The only part I liked was the Tourette's guy bothering Dominic West's interview. I'm clearly missing the point because I'd never watch this movie again.
Sticking with art and movies I didn't like, next is My Art. I didn't read anything about the movie before popping it in and I regret that. It's from Laurie Simmons who I'm not familiar with and it turns out she's Lena Dunham's mother. That's all you need to know about this movie. If you like Lena Dunham and things like Tiny Furniture then this is for you. If like me you find them completely ridiculous and unwatchable, well avoid this like the plague. Simmons directs the film where she plays an artist who wants more recognition. She is single and meets men and does art and shoots video and I have no idea the point of any of it. It cuts away into dream like sequences that probably mean something but means nothing to me. The movie is clearly not for me. It's a pretentious indie film that mainstream America will clearly ignore. Critics will love it of course as will Dunham defenders, I mean fans. Not my thing.
Old Stone is next. I expected this to be an over the top action drama for some reason, but instead got a subtle drama about a taxi driver who hits someone and has his life upended because of it. He takes the person to the hospital without doing the proper paperwork first and the taxi company's insurance company doesn't want to cover the incident. The hit person is in a coma costing more and more money while alive. His wife hates the driver for paying the hospital bills. The taxi company is giving him crap and the man finally loses control. I won't ruin the ending, but I definitely liked where they went with it. It's the type of ending Hollywood is afraid to do nowadays. I look forward to more from Johnny Ma.
Last is Viva L'Italia. Roberto Rossellini's classic gets a 2K restoration release. I had never seen the film and I actually learned a lot from it. I'm not Italian and had no idea Italy had only been unified in the 1800s. I thought it was one country for centuries, but nope it didn't unify till around the time the US was fighting its own Civil War. The film has some fantastic production value. The costuming and wardrobe are great and the set design is also good. You get sets that could rival Gone with the Wind. It's a pretty straight forward film, but I see it more as a history lesson than entertainment. It won't wow you over with acting, but you will definitely learn some Italian history. Most of what I know of Italy is about Rome and The Vatican so I definitely found this informative. If you are familiar with the movie, this new release looks good and is THE version to own.

Hannah's Honeypot is the home of blonde cutie Hanna, an amateur who loves to share all the fun she has with fans.
Hanna is a barely legal blonde small boob innocent sweetheart. She has a lot of pics/vids for a solo girl site and most of the content is as innocent as her. She loads new suprises every other day and you also get some extra bonuses as members to her site. This shaved sweetheart loves to play with toys and several cute friends who join in from time to time.
Pulled out of a pot full of honey we found a sweetheart that you will want to stick right away! Blonde, petite, young and playful, Hanna brings a fresh lighthearted feel to the adult entertainment world. She's the girl next door, the Girl Scout you buy cookies from or even that cheerleader you idolized in high school. Regardless of who she reminds you off, her love to dress up, take off, and play with herself is very, very sweet!
Hanna's Honeypot is the life of Hanna, a carefree, just legal cutie who loves to play with herself, a few girlfriends and dress up in all kinds of cute outfits that show off her hot little body. Similar to many solo girl sites, Hanna's content is very innocent, but unlike solo girl sites, she has over 160 videos and 140+ photo galleries with updates every other day. Now, that's new updates 3-4 times a week!
Catch her pleasing herself with bright pink toys or licking her girlfriends pink pussy with all new content now updated in true 1280x720 high definition quality.

Hanna enjoys cute skirts, dresses, short-shorts and many other outfits that show off her tight figure and her photo galleries are extensive, with about 80-100 high resolution images per set to see.
There is nothing big about Hanna – not her tits, her pussy, her body – but she does love large dildos and massagers that frequently show up in her solo and girl-on-girl videos. Hanna's Honeypot is a bright, easy-to-navigate site focusing on her new content and giving members some additional features such as desktop wallpapers. Although she's not good at updating her status and I would like to see more interaction features such as voting, forms or a favorites section, her video and picture updates make up for the difference!
Hanna charges $29.99 monthly, which her members easily pay for high definition solo modeling, girl-on-girl fisting videos and hundreds of photos capturing her tight figure and barely legal body. Hanna can surely sweeten up anyone's day!

Old warrior leaves an unexpected legacy
At one time, Maj. Gen. Joseph E. Bastion Jr. was secretary to Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower, then Supreme Allied Commander.
He was part of the invasion of North Africa in World War II and rebuilding Germany. He was chief of staff of the 7th Infantry Division in Korea. He helped protect Fort Knox. His service in the U.S. Army was decorated by five countries in addition to his own.
Later in life, Bastion led a different type of troop movement -- military brass retiring to an out-of-the-way place called Hilton Head Island. He and his high school sweetheart, Louise, moved here in the late 1960s.
Retired military couples helped shape Hilton Head. They were Pearl Harbor survivors and D-Day heroes who, like Bastion, didn't talk a lot about it. Bastion's friend Jim Muir said when he moved to the island in 1970, nine members of his West Point class of 1939 were here.
But by the time "Eddie" Bastion died last year a month short of his 100th birthday, few knew him. Louise was gone, and they had no children or siblings.
When seven local charities were notified of bequests from Bastion's sizable estate, they had to scramble for information about the mysterious benefactor. Bastion's distant relative, Cris Bowlin of The Seabrook, was glad to fill them in, unwrapping his medals and ribbons from a yellowed 1944 Cleveland Plain Dealer.
At 2 p.m. Friday, some of the charities will dedicate a bench to Bastion's memory at Veterans Park on the island. "He loved the military and he loved Hilton Head Island," the bench will say.
Bastion was born into it, son of a brigadier general. He was in the U.S. Military Academy class of 1933. His only sibling was shot down in World War II.
On Hilton Head, Bastion enjoyed golf, reading and martinis. He was demanding and tight with a nickel but quietly gave to people around him when they were in need. Late in life, his friends recall, the old warrior was an anonymous driver in a slow-moving, red Honda Prelude, getting honked at because he stayed in the fast lane.
Bastion's closest confidante, the late Brig. Gen. M.G. O'Connell, helped him pick the six charities for his will: the Technical College of the Lowcountry Foundation, which O'Connell once chaired; Friends of the Hilton Head Library; Meals on Wheels of Hilton Head and Bluffton; Hospice Care of the Lowcountry; The Deep Well Project; the St. Vincent de Paul Society of Hilton Head; and The Seabrook, where Bastion lived in his latter years.
Meals on Wheels board member Shirley DeHond organized the bench memorial. She was moved by what Bastion had done for his country, and the world.
And that he chose for a portion of his estate to go to charities that touch such a wide spectrum of human life on an out-of-the way place called Hilton Head Island.

Brilliant piece of Experiential work in France – memories of last years "Orange" TV adverts, but brought to life with comedy & audience interactivity.
Menacing, glowing black cubes wait till someone goes close enough. Then the cube asks where the person would like to travel. Pushing the red button produces a crazy celebration, complete with gigantic walking kisses, and provides the wishers large, customized mock tickets to their destination. Watching the faces of the onlookers is just as much fun as the experience itself!
The underlying message is that the company's Escape service lets you travel to any destination you want. DDB Paris with executive creative director Alexandre Harve created this, as it did last year's flash-mob "Welcome Service" scenes for Voyages SNCF. – Tuija Seipell

Congratulations to the Cake Group for creating an enormous snow globe complete with Snowy props on the South Bank in London in order to promote SkyHd's showing of "The Grinch" .
Beautifully executed, this globe is certainly striking and provides some excellent PR opportunities.
We have quoted for giant snow globes for a number of different clients over the years so are gutted that someone else has got there before us – although, records are meant to be broken!
We love these pieces of "street sculpture" created for a recent activity for the paper towel brand.
Giant "throwaway" items created in New York give a definite nod to the work of Claes Oldenburg – http://www.oldenburgvanbruggen.com/
With the addition of Steam & aroma these create a great talking point

|Rowley... 2
However, the bluntness and cowboy swagger softens dramatically at the mention of one name - Sam Leung - a Chinese cafe and butcher shop owner who served the town for almost three decades. Sam charmed everyone, and he loved a good shot of whiskey and a poker game. His backroom became the favorite haunt of the good old boys, who after arriving on the declaration of buying meat, were soon at the poker table with whiskey in hand.

|Sams Saloon was built in 1920 and operated as a restaurant by Sam Leung from 1943 to 1968.
suey and fried oysters were served. But Sam's was also the place where women
could laugh and complain about their men while munching shrimp. And many children
learned to count with Sam's pennies because the Chinese butcher made extra time
to teach them. Sam Leung retired in 1968 and died three years later down the
road in Rumsey.
For some, his passing and the closing of his cafe signaled the coming of the ghosts in Rowley.
late Sam Leung was a beloved, admired and respected restaurateur in Rowley.

|With a distinct rustic flavor, locals took great care in restoring classic signs of the past on the towns pioneer buildings.
|When James Clark's grocery store shut its doors in 1973, it was, aside from the grain elevators, the last Rowley business to close. There were a dozen or so residents left, and the post office and community hall still served residents from Rowley and the surrounding area. In 1980, Sam's was reopened for a town homecoming, but this time it wasn't a cafe, but "Sam's Saloon." Then in the mid-eighties, Rowel's rustic rural flavour caught the attention of big-time moviemakers. Bye, Bye Blues, a Canadian produced film, was shot in Rowley in 1988. For three months in the summer, Rowley was converted into a movie set. Several of the original buildings were used and others specially built. The producers agreed to leave the newly constructed buildings after their shoot. They still stand today.

|The movie and its use of Rowley received wide attention in Alberta. More and more people visited, and suddenly, the town was on the brink of losing its ghost town status. Rowley's community association received scores of requests to use the community hall. Sam's Saloon was roaring with summer fun. More film and commercial producers came after Bye, Bye Blues. The area's cowboy flavor and barren locations appealed to moviemakers. One American cigarette company even shot a commercial in Rowley because of its wintry resemblance to Siberia.

Top Tips for Learning Meditation
Learning to meditate can be the start of a better lifestyle, especially as meditation provides many benefits to your health, such as enabling relaxation, stress reduction, and even pain reduction in many cases. However, the majority of meditation courses around assume you will at least know the basics of meditation techniques, so it can be difficult to get started.
Moonlady Healing does offer a beginner's course in meditation that will take you through the steps of learning the art of meditation. The following top tips will help you to make the most of your meditation course.
Take Your Time
You cannot expect to become an expert in meditation in just one session. It will take time to perfect the art of meditation, so give yourself plenty of time to learn. Don't stress yourself out if you don't seem to get the hang of it straight away, especially as the aim of meditation is to reduce stress and get in touch with your inner peace. Even little steps in the right direction can be helpful. Some people find that they so continually stressed in their daily lives that it takes a few sessions just to learn how to relax enough to start a real meditation session.
Practice Daily
Practice makes perfect and refining the art of meditation is no different from learning any other skill. Make a time to practice every day. You will need between five and 20 minutes. Soon, you'll wonder how you ever lived without your daily meditation session and you will be far more relaxed, less stressed, and more able to cope with the complexities and challenges daily life presents.
Breath Right
A major component of good meditation techniques is breathing. When you take slow, deep breaths, your body naturally relaxes. When your breathing is fast and shallow, your body is preparing for danger and it becomes impossible to relax. The starting place to most meditation sessions is simply to close your eyes (to reduce distractions) and focus on breathing in and out in a slow, consistent pattern. Breathe in for five seconds, hold your breath for three seconds and expel your breath slowly for five seconds. Try this several times in a row before you start your meditation session.
Use Meditation Tools
There are plenty of meditation tools you can use. Guided meditation sessions with an expert are extremely useful, but sometimes, you will not have the expert available when you want to meditate. Using a meditation CD with sweet sounds will help you to focus and to block out the rest of the world while you meditate. You can use meditation texts, chants, and other meditation tools that will help you to relax and find your inner peace.
Learning the art of meditation is not difficult, but it can take some time to get the hang of the practice. Try the course for beginners and enjoy some group guided meditation sessions before you try to meditate for yourself at home.

It's the wee hours of Monday morning, I've just had a glass of warm milk and I'm still not in bed sleeping!
So I'm doing what I think should help me get back to bed - switch on the PC and hope my eyes would tire themselves after awhile.
I've been wanting to share some nice jazz pieces that I discovered while at a recent MPO outing. Klazz Brothers & Cuba Percussion is the highly acclaimed quintet who's brought much pizazz to jazz by infusing classical pieces with Caribbean beats. Their improvisation of beloved symphonies rejuvenates and gives new life to Beethoven and Bach.
I love how the original piece can still be heard amidst all the syncopation, whistles and hypnotic rhythms of Cuba. Take for example Mozart's Symphony No.40 :
Our original intention was to go for the "Jazz meets Cuba" show, but accidentally went for the "Classic meets Cuba" which was a day earlier. It was our first time sitting in the front row, mainly because we wanted to see the expressions on the face of the performers!
After all, if we were too tired from straining our necks looking up, we could always close our eyes and enjoy the music from where we were.
Boy, were we wrong; it turned out to be such an enjoyable 2-parter that I couldn't take my eyes off the musicians as they took turns to highlight the various instruments that created this unique fusion.
Kilian Forster the bassist who looked a bit like a mad professor with his disheveled hair kept the flow going from one piece to another with his humorous introductions.
You have to be there to hear his German accent when telling how Mozart went to the Caribbean, fell in love with Latin jazz and decided to compose the Mambozart. Or how the Hungarian Dance No. 5 came to be known as the Cuban Dance because it was rightfully so!
Those in the audience would agree with me that Alexis Herrera Estevez must be given credit for standing in for the drummer who unfortunately fell ill. We wouldn't have known otherwise that he had to double up in addition to his original role as the percussionist; the transition was so seamless.
Towards the end during the encore, they invited people to come up to the stage to dance. An almost Latino (must be the music!) looking young man promptly went to the front and coolly did his salsa moves, much to the audience's delight.
Many were standing up clapping along, so much so that even 2 little Caucasian grrls also gamely went up, stood in between the musicians as they moved to the music.
Later Kilian even commented that they had never had such young obliging fans like these before!
While I was trying to see if I could get their CD through Amazon, I found many more works under their other albums, such as this version of the Blue Danube. It is now my favourite - the very familiar sounds of this famous Austrian waltz being gradually infused with elements of swing and complemented by the congas make it very catchy indeed!

I was 5 years old when I started Kindergarten at Grand Mound Elementary School in Grand Mound, Thurston County, Washington. I attended the morning session. A school bus picked me up every morning (I had to walk a half-mile to the bus stop) and then Mom or my best friend's mom would pick us up at noon.
I always have trouble remembering the teacher's name (without looking at the class photo). I can remember the first day when my mom took me to school and introduced me to the teacher. I can remember her saying "You are the second Marcella" and to prevent issues, the first "Marcella" was known as "Marcie".
We always had free time when we first arrived. I can remember painting easels. I always drew houses. I think there were times we could look at picture books. There were the nap times (sleeping on rugs we brought from home – mine was bright orange). During nap time, the teacher would read us stories.
We sat at tables and did various activities. I can remember playing with clay and making various things. One time, the fire drill alarms went off. I was so concerned about finding the plastic bag to put the clay in that I was late for line-up and had to be at the back of the boys' line. Yes, we had two lines – girls and boys.
Our classroom was in the basement and we had daylight windows that overlooked the playground. All we could see were the feet and legs of the older kids when they were playing. Our recess time was at a different time. I can only remember being out on the playground a couple of times.
I did have a "boyfriend". His name was Kimball Fosnacht and I told mom when I came home from school the first day that we were going to get married right after 12th grade.
The school had a Christmas program where each of the classes did something for the audience. It seems to me the stage was in the 2nd Grade Classroom. We sang a song in German – O Tannenbaum. Wish I could remember all the words now. In English, it is O Christmas Tree.
My best friend was Susan Kuntz.
When I find my photos, I will add them.

Set in London in the 1880's, Ackroyd's intellectual murder mystery skillfully blends fact and fiction. While he tells of Cree's trial for a crime that shocked the country, Ackroyd weaves a compelling tale of the search for the person responsible for a series of horrific murders. Overall, the three narrators are effectively used in this production. The two male narrators are adequate in their roles, but it is Jenny Sterlin who steals the show with her chilling presentation of the crazed and diabolical Cree. Sterlin's voice frequently crackles with rage. At other times, it is a voice calm with cleverness, clearly the voice of a person we cannot trust.

1) If this ingredient is made in North America it is likely to be gluten-free.
3) The problem with caramel color is it may or may not contain gluten depending on how it is manufactured. In the USA caramel color must conform with the FDA standard of identity from 21CFR CH.1. This statute says: the color additive caramel is the dark-brown liquid or solid material resulting from the carefully controlled heat treatment of the following food-grade carbohydrates: Dextrose (corn sugar), invert sugar, lactose (milk sugar), malt syrup (usually from barley malt), molasses (from cane), starch hydrolysates and fractions thereof (can include wheat), sucrose (cane or beet). Also, acids, alkalis and salts are listed as additives which may be employed to assist the caramelization process.
4) Can utilize a gluten-containing grain or by-product in the manufacturing process, or as an ingredient.
5) Most celiac organizations in the USA and Canada do not believe that wheat starch is safe for celiacs. In Europe, however, Codex Alimentarius Quality wheat starch is considered acceptable in the celiac diet by most doctors and celiac organizations. This is a higher quality of wheat starch than is generally available in the USA or Canada.
6) According to 21 C.F.R. S 101,22(a)(3): [t]he terns natural flavor or natural flavoring means the essential oil, oleoresin, essence or extractive, protein hydrolysate, distillate, or any product of roasting, heating or enzymolysis, which contains the flavoring constituents derived from a spice, fruit or fruit juice, vegetable or vegetable juice, edible yeast, herb, bark, bud, root, leaf or similar plant material, meat, seafood, poultry, eggs, dairy products, or fermentation products thereof. Whose significant function in food is flavoring rather than nutritional.
7) Dextrin is an incompletely hydrolyzed starch. It is prepared by dry heating corn, waxy maize, waxy milo, potato, arrowroot, WHEAT, rice, tapioca, or sago starches, or by dry heating the starches after: (1) Treatment with safe and suitable alkalis, acids, or pH control agents and (2) drying the acid or alkali treated starch. Therefore, unless you know the source, you must avoid dextrin.

8) Maltodextrin is prepared as a white powder or concentrated solution by partial hydrolysis of corn starch or potato starch with safe and suitable acids and enzymes. (1) Maltodextrin, when listed on food sold in the USA, must be (per FDA regulation) made from corn or potato. This rule does NOT apply to vitamin or mineral supplements and medications. (2) Donald Kasarda Ph.D., a research chemist specializing on grain proteins, of the United States Department of Agriculture, found that all maltodextrins in the USA are made from corn starch, using enzymes that are NOT derived from wheat, rye, barley, or oats. On that basis, he believes that celiacs need not be too concerned about maltodextrins, though he cautions that there is no guarantee that a manufacturer won't change their process to use wheat starch or a gluten-based enzyme in the future.

"A Piece of the Puzzle", known as "Unyielding Justice" in the Japanese version, is the twentieth episode of the Yu-Gi-Oh! VRAINS anime. It first aired in Japan on September 27, 2017, became available with official subtitles via Crunchyroll on the same day, and aired in Canada on November 4, 2018.
Zaizen manages to drive Playmaker into a corner. However, Playmaker fights back with everything he got, performing multiple Link Summons in a row in order to turn the battle around. Zaizen and Playmaker then proceed to duke it out with their ace monsters.
Featured Duel: Playmaker vs. Akira Zaizen[edit]
Duel continues from the previous episode.
Turn 9: Zaizen
"Tindangle Acute Cerberus" attacks "Firewall Dragon". Playmaker activates his face-down Quick-Play Spell "Cynet Backdoor", targeting a Cyberse monster he controls and banishing it, then adding a Cyberse monster from his Deck to his hand, whose ATK is lower than the targeted monster's original ATK. During Playmaker's next Standby Phase, the monster banished by this effect returns to the field, and it can attack directly that turn. He targets and banishes "Firewall Dragon", then adds "Draconnet". As "Doppler Phase Coating" was sent from the field to the GY during the Battle Phase, its effect activates, ending the Battle Phase. At the end of the Battle Phase, as "Tindangle Acute Cerberus" declared an attack, Zaizen activates its effect, Special Summoning a "Tindangle Token". He Special Summons it (0/0) in Defense Position to the zone the bottom-left Link Arrow of "Tindangle Acute Cerberus" points to. The effect of "Tindangle Acute Cerberus" increases its ATK by 500 for each "Tindangle" monster it points to ("Tindangle Acute Cerberus": 3500 → 4000 ATK). Zaizen activates the Field Spell "Euler's Circuit". The effect of "Euler's Circuit" prevents Playmaker's monsters from attacking if Zaizen controls three or more "Tindangle" monsters.
Turn 10: Playmaker
During the Standby Phase, the banished "Firewall Dragon" returns to the field at the middle Main Monster Zone (2500/↑←↓→). Playmaker Normal Summons "Draconnet" (1400/1200). As "Draconnet" was Normal Summoned, Playmaker activates its effect, Special Summoning a Level 2 or lower Normal Monster from his hand or Deck in Defense Position. He Special Summons the Level 2 "Bitron" (200/2000) from his Deck. Playmaker sets "Bitron" in the Link Arrow to Link Summon "Link Spider" (1000/↓) to the Extra Monster Zone. Playmaker activates the effect of "Link Spider", Special Summoning a Level 4 or lower Normal Monster from his hand to his zone "Link Spider" points to. He Special Summons the Level 2 "Digitron" (1500/0) to the zone the bottom-center Link Arrow of "Link Spider" points to. Playmaker sets "Digitron" and "Draconnet" in the Link Arrows to Link Summon "Recovery Sorcerer" (1500/←↓) to the zone the middle-right Link Arrow of "Firewall Dragon" points to. Playmaker sets "Link Spider" in the Link Arrow to Link Summon "Secure Gardna" (1000/→) to the zone the top-center Link Arrow of "Tindangle Acute Cerberus" points to. As there are monsters in all zones the equipped "Tindangle Acute Cerberus" points to, Zaizen activates the effect of "Gergonne's End", destroying "Gergonne's End" and all of those monsters, then inflicting damage to Playmaker equal to the ATK of the equipped "Tindangle Acute Cerberus" before they were destroyed ("Tindangle Acute Cerberus": 4000 → 3000 ATK). "Gergonne's End", two "Tindangle Tokens", and "Secure Gardna" are destroyed. After "Secure Gardna" is Special Summoned, its effect prevents Playmaker from taking effect damage for the rest of this turn. As a co-linked Cyberse Link Monster was destroyed and sent to the GY, Playmaker activates its effect, targeting one of those Link Monsters and Special Summoning it, but it has its effects negated, also it is destroyed during the End Phase. He targets and Special Summons "Secure Gardna" (1000/→) to the zone the middle-left Link Arrow of "Firewall Dragon" points to. Playmaker activates the effect of "Firewall Dragon", targeting monsters on the field and/or GY up to the number of monsters co-linked to "Firewall Dragon" and returning them to the hand. "Firewall Dragon" is co-linked to "Secure Gardna" and "Recovery Sorcerer", so he targets "Tindangle Hound" and "Tindangle Angel" in Zaizen's GY and returns them to Zaizen's hand. The effect of "Tindangle Acute Cerberus" increases its ATK by 1500 for each "Tindangle Hound" and "Tindangle Angel" in his GY ("Tindangle Acute Cerberus": 3000 → 0 ATK). "Firewall Dragon" attacks and destroys "Tindangle Acute Cerberus" (Zaizen: 1100 → 0 LP).

Sintra, near Lisbon, is one of Europe's most romantic and enchanting towns. Its impressive concentration of fairytale palaces makes it a mandatory destination. This slightly cooler climate attracted over time the nobility and elite of Portugal. They erected exquisite palaces and extravagant residences. The variety of fascinating monuments and historic buildings makes Sintra a highly-regarded tourist destination. The village is now a UNESCO Heritage Site. The Sintra tours are one of the best memorable experiences for those who visit Lisbon. We, at Lisbon Best Tours offer you a lot of options for a perfect day in the region.
If you accept our suggestions, or if you want to tailor your own Sintra Tour program Just contact us!
For a perfect stay in Portugal combine the Sintra tour other unforgettable experiences. See our programs in Lisbon, Fátima, Batalha, Palmela, Óbidos and Évora.
The Queluz Palace and its gardens, are one of the most remarkable examples integrating landscape and palatial architecture in Portugal. One of the last great Rococo buildings designed in Europe. A point requiring at least 2 hours to visit in a Lisbon Best Tours Sintra program.
Built in 1747 by the future King Pedro III, the Palace of Queluz was initially conceived as a summer residence. Soon became the royal family's preferred place for their leisure and entertainment. They lived there permanently from 1794 until their departure for Brazil in 1807, because of the French invasions.
From the beginning of the 18th century, many foreign artists and architects worked in Portugal. They came to satisfy the needs of a newly enriched aristocracy, emerged after the discovery of Brazilian gold in 1690.The extravagant, almost whimsical architecture of Queluz represents exactly the politics and social events of Portugal during this era.
The Portuguese School of Equestrian Art, based in the National Palace of Queluz, has the mission to conserve and promote the Alter Real-bred Lusitano horse. At the same time, it upholds the Portuguese tradition of Haute École through the selection, training and exhibition of Pure Blood Lusitano horses. It is an equestrian cultural heritage that remains unique in the world. Here in Queluz is only possible to visit the facilities. The performances take place once a week at Henrique Calado Riding Ring, on Calçada da Ajuda, in Belém – Lisbon. They last approximately 45 minutes. This program needs previous reservation.
It is the best preserved medieval Royal Palace in Portugal. The thousand-year-old history of the Palace of the Town of Sintra began during the Muslim occupation of the Iberian Peninsula. Already mentioned in texts from the 11th century, the original Moorish Palace became the property of the Portuguese Crown after the conquest of the city of Lisbon by Afonso Henriques, the first King of Portugal, New extensions were later added to the building over time, although it has largely maintained its present-day outline since the mid-16th century. This gradual multiplication of blocks, with different styles, is largely responsible for the enigmatic enchantment of this ancient palace, dominated by great twin chimneys atop the kitchen that constitute as authentic ex-libris of Sintra.
Quinta da Regaleira is an estate located near the historic city center. Along with the other palaces in the area is one of the principal tourist attractions of Sintra. It has been classified as a Building of Public Interest since 2002.
The property consists of a romantic palace and chapel, surrounded by lush gardens, lakes, wells, grottoes and enigmatic constructions with hidden alchemical meanings, such as those evoked by the Freemasons, Templars and Rosicrucians. The palace is also known as "The Palace of Monteiro the Millionaire", the nickname of its best known former owner, who transformed the 4-hectare estate into the palace.
The varied styles of his design evoke Romanesque, Gothic, Renaissance and Manueline architecture. The Regaleira Estate is a place of amazing experiences. It is not enough to describe the memories, landscape and mysteries. You must discover it, contemplate the design of the gardens and buildings, admire the palace and walk round the exotic park and experience its spirituality.
The park also contains an extensive and enigmatic system of tunnels, which have multiple entry points that include: grottoes, the chapel, Waterfall Lake, and "Leda's Cave," which lies beneath the Regaleira Tower. The "Initiation Well" connects to other tunnels via a series of underground walkways. After the Pena Palace this is the second main attraction on the Sintra Tours.
The castle is dated from the 8th or 9th centuries, the period of Muslim Iberia occupation. After the conquest of Lisbon (1147) by Afonso Henriques, Portugal's first king, the castle of Sintra was conquered with the help of Christian forces.
During the second half of the 12th century, King Sancho I of Portugal ordered the construction of a chapel within the walls.
The 1755 Lisbon earthquake caused considerable damage to all the structure. In 1840, Ferdinand II of Portugal took up the task of conserving and improving the condition of the castle. He consolidated the walls, reforested the spaces, created nooks and manicured spaces and conserved the chapel.
The impressive walls and view from the castle are the main points of this attraction in the Sintra Tours
Located in the Sintra hills, the Park and Palace of Pena are the exponent of all the Sintra tours. It is one of Portugal's most visited monuments.
The palace's history started in the Middle Ages when a chapel dedicated to Our Lady of Pena was built on the top of the hill above Sintra. According to tradition, construction occurred after an apparition of the Virgin Mary. In 1493, King John II, accompanied by his wife Queen Leonor, made a pilgrimage to the site to fulfil a vow. His successor, King Manuel I, ordered the construction of a monastery on this site. The Order of Saint Jerome occupied the place for centuries. Pena was a small and quiet place for meditation.
In the 18th century a lightning storm severely damaged the monastery. However, it was the Great Lisbon Earthquake of 1755, occurring shortly afterwards, that took the heaviest toll on the monastery, reducing it to ruins. Nonetheless, the Chapel escaped without significant damages.
In 1839, King Ferdinand, a creative genius, set out to transform the remains of the monastery into a monument of the greatest expression of Portuguese romanticism. The palace then built, had the aim to serve as summer residence for the Portuguese royal family.
The palace, ingenious built, is visible from any point in the park, which consists of a forest and luxuriant gardens with over five hundred different species of trees originated from the four corners of the earth.
The Cruz Alta viewpoint is the highest point of the luxuriant Sintra Mountain. It ranges 529 meters above the sea in the heart of Pena Park. From here the panorama is amazing, with the bucolic Sintra landscape, the Mafra's region, the astonishing Lisbon region, the gorgeous Tagus river estuary and the blue Atlantic Ocean.
Nearby stands the warrior, according to last research it represents Wilhelm Ludwig von Eschwege the untired D.Ferdinando II collaborator in the Pena Palace edification. For those who love trekking this is a must in all Sintra Tours programs, especially in summer.
In the second half of the 19th century, King Ferdinand II and his future second wife, Elise Hensler, the Countess of Edla, created a Chalet in the western part of the Park of Pena. A private space designed in accordance with the romantic taste, which served as a refuge and leisure area for the couple. Strategically situated to the west of the Palace of Pena, the building followed the model of Alpine Chalets, which were then very fashionable in Europe.
Influenced by the romantic spirit of the time, King Ferdinand and the Countess of Edla, created one of the most idyllic and picturesque areas. It is considered the largest and most emblematic romantic park ever designed in Portugal. The dramatic nature is accentuated by the close proximity of a group of monumental granite boulders, placed inside the garden itself, and the stunning views over the valley, the sea, the Palace of Pena, the Moorish Castle and the Cruz Alta.
The farm is a park zone just restored. Here you can relive the atmosphere of the traditional farms, meeting in a large space, goats, sheep, rabbits, horses and a vegetable garden. Ideal for sightseeing and family walks. Here you can try also a horseback ride or pony to explore this beautiful park. For nature and garden lovers this is an important point in a Sintra tours program.
The officially Convento de Santa Cruz da Serra da Sintra, is associated with the Portuguese Viceroy of India, D. João de Castro, and his family (XVI th century). It became a pious community of reclusive clergy that continued to occupy cramp humble spaces in the complex, until the abolition of religious orders in Portugal.
The Franciscan convent is in direct contact with nature and in keeping with a philosophy of extreme architectural and decorative simplicity. The Capuchos Convent is extremely small, being notable for the great poverty of its construction.
It is also known as the "Cork convent" because of the extensive use of cork in the protection and decoration of its tiny spaces. Its rustic appearance and great austerity relates to the surrounding vegetation, since the building is completely integrated into the natural environment. Enormous granite boulders have been incorporated into its construction. An absolute contrast and paradigm in the Sintra Tours!
At the west end of the region, in the last peak of the mountains. There, one finds Penina, place where the landscape is totally opposite to that of Pena. Here we find low vegetation withstanding strong winds, and a view over the se at, 490m height.
This is the westernmost point of continental Europe. Europe ends here, abruptly, among ragged cliffs beaten by the sea. The terrain dramatically steepens as it approaches the Atlantic coast. The cliffs are more than 100 meters high. One feels the profound earthly energy that has formed this place. A lighthouse stands proud, warning all ships to stay clear from this dangerous place. Also, it is truly astonishing. This point is included in all our Sintra Tours.
Not very far from the centre of Sintra is one of the most beautiful Romantic creations in Portugal: The Park and Palace of Monserrate. A singular representation of 19th century eclecticism in the Portuguese court summer resorts. Sir Francis Cook, an English textile baronet, restored the palace in 1858. He used the estate as a summer retreat residence.
The Palace combines gothic and Indian influences as well as Moorish suggestions together with exotic and plant motifs harmoniously extended to the exterior. The gardens have received species from all corners of the world, planted according to their geographical origin. The front lawn of the Palace provides a well-deserved rest, while discovering one of the richest Portuguese botanical gardens.
Seteais Palace is a 5-star hotel nestled in the breathtaking Sintra hills, surrounded by stunning views and beautiful mountains, close to all the historic center. This exquisitely luxurious hotel boasts sumptuous guestrooms that will suit even the most demanding guests. A superb example of classic XVIII century architecture, it is ideally positioned between the hills and the sea near the city center.
The cooperative winery at Colares (Adega Regional de Colares) dates from 1931. It congregates today more than 50% of the total region production, with an important social role. Its beautiful building, from late 19th century, has an imposing interior. Housing wooden barrels, casks and vats totaling more than 1 million litters capacity are present inside. It is the maturing and aging place "par excellence" for the wines of this appellation.

You know those recipes we hold near and dear to our hearts because they are really the greatest ever of all time? Well, we're using this series as an opportunity to wax poetic about them. Today, we're talking about cookies. Associate web editor Rochelle Bilow's mother's no-bake chocolate peanut butter cookies, to be exact. They truly are the greatest (dessert) recipe of all time. Here's why.
There's a reason kids hoard Reese's Peanut Butter Cups after a night of trick-or-treating. There's a reason salted peanuts are pure dynamite on top of a hot fudge sundae. And there's a reason that my mother's no-bake chocolate peanut butter cookies are the greatest recipe of all time. That reason is because when it comes to big, bold flavor combinations, chocolate and peanut butter truly take the cake. Err, cookies.
The salty peanut butter is a perfect foil to bittersweet chocolate. The chocolate keeps the nut butter from tasting too rich, while the peanut butter helps counter the chocolate with a fat, rounded note. This combo works. We know this and embrace it.
My mother knew it too, and for years, kept it as an ace up her sleeve for emergencies. Not only did she know how to combine chocolate and peanut butter in perfect proportion, she had a recipe that could go from the pan to our bellies in half an hour flat—15 minutes, if she employed the help of the freezer. Once word got out about her no-bake cookies, they were requested for everything from slumber parties with friends to soccer games and theater rehearsals to "Oh no, we forgot about dessert!" moments after dinner. (Admittedly, we rarely forgot about dessert after dinner.) I'd be willing to bet you've eaten a version of these before.
If that's the case, you know why these cookies are perfect in every way. Not only do they make good use of the chocolate-peanut butter connection, but they're also packed with chewy oats, spiked with vanilla, and unapologetically simple. There's not a laundry list of ingredients: Just PB, chocolate, oats, sugar, salt, vanilla, milk, and butter. Let's be straight here: Diet food, these are not. They're a stick of butter boiled with whole milk and a truckload of granulated white sugar. Don't be mad about this fact. Embrace this fact. Love this fact. Make these cookies. Here's how to do it:
Ready your workstation by placing a sheet of wax paper over a baking sheet. Then, place one stick of butter in a medium saucepan set over medium heat. Melt the butter and add ½ cup whole milk, 2-3 tablespoons of cocoa powder—depending on how chocolatey you like things—and 1 cup of granulated white sugar. Increase heat, stir, bring to a boil, then boil continuously for 1 minute, stirring the entire time.
Remove from the heat and add 1 cup creamy (NOT chunky; this is very important because…well, it just is) peanut butter, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and ¼ teaspoon of salt. The salt is key here, because these are some seriously sweet cookies. You need the salt to temper the sweetness in addition to making the rest of the flavors really pop. Also add in a couple of ounces of bittersweet or semisweet chocolate. Because chocolate is great. Stir well, then finally add 3 cups quick-cooking oats and stir to combine completely.
Use a tablespoon or a soup spoon or whatever spoon you have on hand to dollop batter in clumps onto the wax paper. You will need to use your finger to scrape the batter from the spoon. This is a very good thing, because it means you get to sample. Do lots of sampling. Transfer the cookies to the fridge and cool for at least half an hour before eating. For dire straits, stick them in the freezer for 15 minutes.

I try not to wear my heart on sleeve so I keep them rolled up. Our hearts linked by two jump ropes as we play double dutch.

Career Profile: Emily Zilber, AB'04
Alumna reflects on her time at the University of Chicago and shares her experience as a curator at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts
Meet Emily Zilber, AB'04, Ronald C and Anita L Wornick Curator of Contemporary Decorative Arts at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, and a volunteer for the Alumni Club of Boston. If you are in the Boston area, you are invited to join us for a tour of the Museum's exhibition Crafted: Objects in Flux exhibit on Thursday, December 10, led by Emily.
Check out an interview with Emily, below, and past Career Profiles on our News page.
Can you start by telling us a little bit about what you do at the MFA, and in Boston, in general?
I've been at the MFA for about 5 years as the Ronald C. and Anita L. Wornick Curator of Contemporary Decorative Arts with an eye towards making sure our new Linde Family Wing for Contemporary Art Wing, which opened in 2011, includes decorative arts alongside painting and sculpture. As a curator, I'm responsible for guiding acquisitions and for developing a presence for craft and design in the Contemporary Art Wing and throughout the museum. I also oversee the Daphne and Peter Farago Gallery for Contemporary Craft. Everyday is completely different. I might be working on an exhibition or a collection rotation, or may be meeting with donors or conducting studio visits with artists.
I feel like everyone has some sort of journey from Chicago to Boston; what was yours?
I spent a year in Chicago after graduation as a member of the Chicago Public Interest Program and also worked in the Chicago Public Schools during that time. I thought I wanted to work in museums, and had worked at the Smart Museum at UChicago. I was interested in pursuing a career in either curating or education. After that, I went to graduate school in New York and then completed a postgraduate fellowship at the Cranbrook Art Museum outside of Detroit. The art museum is connected to Cranbrook Academy of Art, one of the premiere MFA programs internationally. After I finished my fellowship, I took a job as Assistant Curator at Cranbrook. After a bit of time there, I had the opportunity to come to Boston to fill a brand new position as the Wornick ! Curator of Decorative Arts at the MFA. The Contemporary Art Wing hadn't even been opened yet when I arrived in 2010, and developing the galleries there was my first major project at the MFA.
What are you most excited to share with UChicago alumni at the curator led tour?
I have previously had the chance to take the alumni through galleries and to look at our permanent collection, but this time we'll be able to see an exhibition which I curated. This is the first exhibition at the MFA for which I've been able to write a catalog alongside an exhibition and I'm excited to share that with fellow alumni, and to talk about why and how artists make things today. Most of all, I'm excited to have an intelligent conversation with UChicago alumni and friends. Our alumni always ask great questions, and it's just one of the most fun and enjoyable times for me.
What was your favorite Core class?
Definitely Media Aesthetics. It was the first time I was introduced to some writing and ideas that would become really critical to me and that would lead me into Art History. When I came to UChicago, I was thinking I would be a fine arts or classics major, but after reading Foucault's essay on Velazquez's painting Las Meninas from The Order of Things and following the other curriculum… there were just a lot of things about that course that steered me towards art history, which was great.
Which professor at Chicago left the greatest impression on you, and why?
Rebecca Zorach, who was not only an Art History professor with whom I took multiple classes, but who was also my undergraduate thesis advisor. Her ability to connect the past and present - in her Feminist Art History course, especially - has had a great influence on me and how I think. She really shaped my interests, but also let me focus on the Decorative Arts and encouraged me to follow my own interests, as well.
What is one of your fondest UChicago memories?
I met my husband during my senior year at UChicago, so we can carry on the tradition at home!
Fill in the blank: "If you loved _______ about Chicago, I think you'll really love ______ about Boston."
That's a tough one! I'd say that if you loved Grant park and the amazing park system and outdoor spaces in Chicago, you'll love the parks in Boston. It's really amazing to work by the Fenway everyday!
Can you say a little bit about the impact that the UChicago alumni network has had on you, both personally and professionally?
Personally, it's provided me some of my longest lasting friendships and other kinds of relationships. Professionally, when I was thinking about what it was I wanted to do, Chicago alums were really generous with their time. The curatorial world is a tough one to get into; there are lots of people, with great educations and great CVs, but not always a lot of opportunities. I connected with UChicago alums who worked at the Art Institute of Chicago, and at other museums all around the country. And now, I find the same thing happening with me -- with other alums reaching out to me for similar connections and advice. It's been a great thing to be a part of because it's always meant quite a bit to me.
And finally, what made you want to get involved with the UChicago Alumni Club of Boston?
When I first moved to Boston, the Alumni Club was a really wonderful way to meet and connect with fellow alums. We used to go to Trivia Nights in Harvard Square -- it was really fun to try to beat the Harvard kids! UChicago was a huge part of my life and I'm so grateful for the opportunity to have gone there. It has really formed aspects of my identity and has connected me with people who have shaped my life, so I'm very happy to have that continue. Boston has a really amazing Chicago community.

Oscar Bruzon Barreras, assistant coach of RCD Mallorca, believes that Pep Guardiola has not performed as expected in the English Premier League because of his loyalty to Barcelona's style of play.
According to Bruzon, the challenges being faced by Guardiola are normal because the philosophy of coaching in Spain is completely different from that of Germany and England.
Bruzon, however, expressed optimism that Guardiola will eventually succeed with Manchester City.
"He is loyal to the Barcelona age-long philosophy," Bruzon told TheCable on Monday.
"Pep Guardiola grew up with the doctrine of the Johan Cruyff philosophy where the team played combined style of plays and this is not easy to implement in England. He is loyal to his philosophy and we shall see how far he can go unlike in Spain where players play together.
"Maybe this is not the style in Germany and now in his job in England. We need to really know exactly what is happening. The La Liga is very interested in developmental football."
He said Benitez "was more theoretical" in his approach to coaching Real Madrid, "but it did not work hence the parting of ways with Zinedine Zidane replacing him".
"It's like the situation with Rafael Benitez while he was at Real Madrid, maybe Real Madrid did not need the kind of coaching he brought to the table," he said.
"For Luis Enrique, the pressure is for two to three years when you are coach at Barcelona. It becomes difficult to motivate players, few coaches can stay after that. The job is difficult after the first three years."
When asked about the prospects of Nigerian Ezekiel Bassey who recently joined Barcelona, he said, "It's still too early to talk about Bassey breaking into the main team of Barcelona.
"He is there in the first place because Barcelona have seen something special in him. Every time Barcelona sign players, they know the attributes and characteristics of the player they have signed, the strength and challenges.
"Spain is not new to Nigerian players, there are others playing for top teams in England. So, naturally a Nigerian market is at the international level.
"We still talk about the likes of Finidi George and Mutiu Adepoju and the Spanish La Liga was very competitive during that time too. Nigerian football has always been a reference point."
The former Celia Vigo forward is in Nigeria to train local coaches, a programme put together by the Nigerian Professional Football League in partnership with the Spanish La Liga.

Court Orders Man to Play Poker
Samuel McMaster is a professional poker player from Albuquerque, New Mexico, in the USA. He has been found guilty of fraud and he owes approximately half a million dollars to clients whom he swindled through a number of insurance scams. In total he has been found guilty of 26 felonies and, unless he can repay most of the money, it is likely that he will face a custodial sentence. Most of his clients were elderly. He would play the role of a securities agent and fraudulently offered the clients very high returns on credits and promissory notes which he was unable to pay.
He has now agreed to repay the money at a rate of $7,500 a month for a year after which time he will receive his final sentence. If he fails to keep up this level of repayments the judgement will be terminated and he will face an immediate custodial sentence which is likely to be for a minimum of twelve years.
The judge who made the order told McMaster that he must play in poker tournaments across the USA in order to earn sufficient money. Playing poker is considered by the courts to be a profession just as any other profession, so the judge saw nothing strange in making the order.
Even if McMaster is successful over the coming months, he intends to play poker both online and in live tournaments, and he is able to repay most or even all of the money, he may still have to go to prison, though his lawyer says that this is likely to be for a considerably reduced sentence. He said that it was not the same as a get out of jail free card.

Okay, Triumph has pissed me off, they can take their new Adventurer and sod off.
I've been waiting for the new video of the Triumph Adventure and hoping for some better photos of the bike, but alas I face another disappointing video. Flashes of the bike with no real information other than a low voice Brit spouting off about the suspension and blah, blah, blah.
Show me the damn bike already!
Thanks to Tbolt for the Hell for Leather link to more photos.
But wait! What's this? While I sit and wait for Triumph to show us their bike Yamaha is over here showing us and taking deposits with a Spring 2011 delivery date of the Super Ténéré.
Wake up BMW, Yamaha is knocking at your door. Oh and don't worry about Triumph, they haven't even started up the walk yet.
The only things stopping me from sticking it to Triumph and buying the Ténéré is I so love that Triumph Triple motor and the Ténéré is just too much bike for what I need and too much money than what I have.
So it's back to Craigslist and CycleTrader, there's going to be plenty of used Tigers available for dirt cheap once the Ténéré and the Adventure hit our shores.
Triumph owners can't be that loyal. Can they?

One Great View Of Boundless Internal Space, or Further Evidence That Sculpture Is Hard
This is good, nourishing stuff. And for that matter, so is the sweetness and humility of the original gesture of all this work. It is right to look at all the things around us, the trash we produce and the stuff we sweep up, and know that it doesn't go away, that it goes to a place and becomes something else.
I like, for selfish reasons, that this work takes a geological look at our own detritus.
And for all my own prejudices about arriving at form, it is easy to admit that the grid makes this untitled wall piece the satisfying spatial adventure that it is:
It makes the grand idea more than process art. It becomes more like to make and understand peoplerock. Not people rocks, but a monolithic substance that has been sampled from, not made and sliced. Caesar made a series of literal core sample shapes that were, well, literal. The enterprise turned into a too-specific fiction about core samples. The grid works better. It's empirical-looking without being specific. And it's ongoing. You'd want to count a number of circles and interpret what that means in terms of any core samples you've made as a young science student. Those geodey shapes remained objects--geological artifacts. A grid, on the other hand, is known for a fact to be endless. You get a sensation of genuine vastness never before possible with only, oh, I'd guess a few hundred pounds of material. Economical!
That's what I mean when I say that this piece asserts itself as material and not form, even though, duh, it obviously inhabits a form. The thing, though, is that the magic is formal, not the form. Grids and cubes are not simply magical disappearing shapes! The grid solved a particularly evil little problem in an elegant way. Once. On that back wall. Cubes and squares do not fare as well in the rest of the room.
One of the most compelling things about Caesar's work is that it's got this fatal flaw that he keeps chewing on and never spitting out. It's so interested in materiality and internality, and so uninvested in form, that it could become a boring sausagemaking project like that! A dead end lurks around every corner, and Caesar surely knows this. And in the rest of the room, he's casting about for quick answers to hard problems, which is too bad. The prop piece. The potted plant. The crappy chair. Instead of doggedly, carefully insisting on material and material alone, he starts trying to do something with the materials he makes. And when he does this, he closes the door to vastness and geology. The rest of the pieces in the room are more about their form (and their relationship to art history and objectness) than anything else. Their materiality doesn't matter very much.
This is kind of a shame, but it's also par for the course. Sculpture is best when it is impossibly stupid, and it's always a better idea to keep hammering at the unsolvable problem no matter where or when the show is than it is to try to wind up with a decent product.
(I know, I know. Easy to say...)
You can't make something that is inherently bounded read as boundlessly as geology. You can't communicate something as paradoxical as the infinity of internal space using ordinary, physical means... in a small room, even! And that Caesar even does this once with such an improbable process is meaningful.

Guitar Rising
Guitar Rising is a music video game where the player plays a real guitar as cued by the game's visuals. It's like Guitar Hero for people who actually want to learn how to play guitar.
For those of you who feel like you're so over Guitar Hero, there's a new addiction on the horizon. People without game consoles will be happy to know this game will be made for both the Mac and the PC and include a USB connection for hookup to any guitar. The game is already gathering buzz at conferences, but isn't due until late 2008, which gives you plenty of time to bid on that '62 Fender Jaguar you've always wanted.
Editorial note: Whoa! You've found a super-old post here on BuzzFeed, from an earlier era of the site. It doesn't really represent where we are anymore, and may in fact be totally broken, but we're leaving it up as a part of our early history.

We made it through the summer. YES! As the school year was ending last May, Manny and I adopted Vee, Manny got a Master's Degree from Georgia Tech, I left my job, and we all packed up and moved to Merritt Island, Florida.
Manny started working right away, and Vee and I were left to our own devices Monday through Friday. The first couple of weeks were filled with unpacking, getting to know the town, figuring out how everything works in the military (still working on that), and trying to come up with ideas to make our summer experience joyful for everyone. Mainly, this meant to involve Vee in activities, so that he could get to know other youth, spend some energy, and spend time with the family. So this is what we came up with:
YMCA (A mothers' friend)
I drove to the YMCA in Cocoa almost every weekday during the summer, and dropped Vee off for Basketball, swimming, and free time with new friends. It was a 15-minute drive each way, but it was well worth it. Being at the YMCA gave Vee an opportunity to spend time with other youth and, most importantly, burn through some energy.
Our new church is awesome and has some great programs to get youth plugged in.
On Mondays, Vee and I volunteered at House of Hope, a food and clothes ministry sponsored by a group of churches, including ours, for the community. We sorted through food, passed out bags of vegetables, and anything else needed from 6am-11am.
Wednesday evenings are spent at Firehouse, the youth ministry at church, which gives Vee a chance to get some snacks from the vending machine (we eat pretty healthy at home, so he enjoys this treat), meet good friends, and learn about God. The youth at the church are great, and Vee has made some really nice friends already.
Vee also joined a group of great guys from church on Fridays to play soccer. The guys are really welcoming and encouraging, and Vee is still joining them on Fridays.
Aside from taking advantage of some great programs, we also enjoyed the beautiful weather in Florida and headed outside.
Out with a bang… or fish and ice cream
To end the summer, we went out on dates: Father/Son, Mother/Son. Manny and Vee finally got a fishing license, went fishing, and caught ONE whole fish. SUCCESS. Vee had wanted to go out fishing for the entire summer, so just holding the fishing pole was a reward.
I, on the other hand, chose to do something more enjoyable. Can you say COLDSTONE? At some point during the summer days, Vee mentioned that his favorite ice cream came from another ice cream joint that was not COLDSTONE. MADNESS! He later confessed that he had never been to COLDSTONE (ahh.. the betrayal makes sense), a situation that had to be promptly rectified.
Of course, summer does not come to an end without back-to-school shopping… or so I hear. So, we headed to American Eagle. I guess there is such thing as "too cool for school."
We did have some challenges this summer, including summer reading, "there is nothing to do" days, and some other things that you will hear about along the way… but we made it. Three months after becoming a family, we have even survived our first week of school, got all the needed supplies, and have a schedule down. Kind of.
Believing in a great year ahead,

POLICE are hunting a gang who deliberately started a series of fires at public premises and property in Motherwell.
And the incidents they have been called to include a blaze which began inside a secondary school.
The spree of four fires took place within the space of a few hours and occurred within a relatively short distance of each other.
The incidents happened last Friday night, January 27. The first fire was discovered around 8.40pm at a bin room within a building at Freesia Court.
Several cardboard boxes had been set ablaze and were extinguished by the Fire Service.
No-one was injured and no property was damaged.
Then, just after 11pm, a wooden garage was set on fire next to property in Crawford Street, Motherwell.
The owner – an 80-year-old man – had put his car away and secured the garage just minutes before.
He was alerted by his wife when she noticed the structure ablaze.
Police and the Fire Service quickly attended and put out the fire but the wooden garage was burned and the car and assorted garden equipment seriously damaged.
Whilst in attendance at the Crawford Street fire, police became aware of the alarm sounding at nearby Dalziel High School.
It was discovered that a classroom window on the ground floor had been smashed and opened, with a smell of smoke coming from the room.
Police called the Fire Service and their own dog unit to the scene.
A small fire was discovered in the classroom with a school computer, desk and bin in the classroom, adjacent to the one with the broken window, set on fire.
The fourth fire was discovered behind Motherwell library not long after the incident at the high school.
The fire was also promptly extinguished, with some damage occurring to an office area.
DS Gordon Robertson said: "CID are making various inquiries with regard to these recent fires and it is possible that they are linked.
"Someone knows who has done this.
"Their actions have put the lives of others at risk as well as causing damage to private property and a school.
"We are following a number of positive lines of inquiry but we do need people to phone us and tell us about anyone they saw in the area, either acting suspiciously or simply out of character."
Commenting on the school attack a council spokesman, said: "Dalziel High School in Motherwell was broken into on Friday night, January 27, around 11.30pm. A fire was lit in one of the basement classrooms.
"All furniture and equipment in this room has been fire/smoke damaged with the adjacent classroom being partially damaged.
"An assessment of the cost of the damage is currently underway and on what furniture and resources can be salvaged from this room. In the meantime the school will be operating as normal.
"A fire was also started on the same evening at Motherwell library and caused some smoke damage to an office area.
"Anyone with any information on these mindless acts of vandalism should contact the police."

A challenging trekking holiday around Manaslu in the Nepal Himalaya. Manaslu at 8163 metres (26783 feet) is the eighth tallest mountain in the World. Situated close to the border with Tibet, some 100 km (62 miles) northwest of Kathmandu, the valleys to the north and east of Manaslu were a restricted area until the early nineties.
This area has always seen relatively few trekkers when compared to the more popular regions of the Annapurna and the Khumbu region partly because of the greater logistics required.
The quiet trails and simple villages, together with the stunning scenery around Manaslu make this one of the classic yet unspool trekking advenutres in the Himalaya. Travelling via Gorkha on the south of Manaslu,
we start from the town of Arughat and ascend the impressive gorge of the Budi Gandaki for seven days, passing through tiny villages perched on the steep valley sides, to reach the Tibetan world beyond the village of Ghap.
Here, the valley starts to open out, and there are remarkable panoramas of the peaks on the Nepal-Tibet border, as well as those of the Manaslu group. We have the feeling of entering a secret Buddhist world of monasteries, mani walls and prayer flags. The scenery becomes even more impressive as we climb up into the alpine environment on the approach to the Larkya La (5135m), with big peaks on all sides.
Along the trail the first part of our trek are Himal Chuli, Manaslu, Cheo Himal and Himlung Himal. Beyond the Larkya La, we go down to the forested valley of the Marsyangdi River.
