Comments about Gibraltar Stealth VMS Single Tom Mount w/Snare Basket Kit:
I have used both the Gibraltar GSVMS, and GSSMS.
I am now able to switch my kit from 4 to 6 pieces with 6 cymbals easily. The only other stands I have are a Hi-Hat, and Throne.
My setup time is now equal to the Guitars.
The only modification I made was shorenning the Snane drum up tube and basket tube 3 inches to accomadate both my 7X13 snare and my 5.5X14.
A tubing cutter, allen wrench and 7 minutes.

Comments about Gibraltar Stealth VMS Single Tom Mount w/Snare Basket Kit:
I have a 6-Piece set with a bunch of cymbals and the only thing a have with the VMS rack is a Hi-Hat stand. Very sturdy and i love how you can still see the bass drum and it kindof shows off my set. Very well done. Only thing is if you are tall I would not recomend because you can only get so high with the mounts otherwise perfect.

Chinatown Murals and Mural Tour
Mural creation has been in the works of CCCSA's plans since 2007. On August 15, 2009, CCCSA laid 3 boards out on the street during the Chinatown Street Festival and offered the community to imprint a hand print on the board for $1.00. The completed banners were then hung onto a wall of a building in Chinatown along the east side of 2nd Avenue and Centre Street and was given the name "Hands of the Community." This was the birth of the Mural program. This very first mural in Chinatown was designed to combat graffiti and beautify Chinatown. Since then, another 11 pieces of murals have been created with various themes, materials and backgrounds. Although all different, they share one commonality of representing the Chinese in Calgary.
This year, CCCSA is planning to create another mural on the wall behind the Dragon City Mall in Chinatown to help reduce the graffiti and keep Chinatown a safer and better place to live in.
As the project progress through the years, we see that it is a great opportunity for community engagement, involving community members in different communal activities.
The Mural Tour program was in the planning for the past 5 years which was offset by the creation of various murals in Chinatown from 2009 until present. Each of the murals has their own story, reason for existence and theme. In the mural tours, we hope to deliver the message that each of the murals convey to build and strengthen cultural and historical awareness amongst Calgarians.
The Mural Tour is usually offered every weekend during the summer time. Advanced booking is preferred:).

Executives from Google Inc., Microsoft Corp., and other leading firms want to require all Massachusetts public schools to teach computer science, so local tech companies don't have to rely on foreign workers to fill future programming and engineering jobs.
The plan would compel the teaching of computer science classes as early as the eighth grade, add computing questions to the state's standardized tests, and create a statewide curriculum for technology instruction throughout high school. Massachusetts would be the second state to mandate the classes, after South Carolina.

The Boston quartet's headlining set at last week's Rockstar Energy Drink UPROAR festival in Irvine packed in enough hits, distortion, fire, and bravado to singlehandedly shoot down any and all feelings that said genre's funeral has come and gone.

Architectural monuments • Pärnu • More details
|Ranna puiestee 1, Pärnu| Show on map
The neo-classicist building of the Mud Baths is one of the most important symbols of the Pärnu resort. It was built in 1926-1927 in place of a bathing house that was burned down in World War I. The history of the Pärnu Mud Baths, but also of the resort can however be tracked down to the year 1838 when the bathing house by the sea offered warm sea baths in the summer and hot sauna in the winter. The resort started to develop rapidly in the 1890s.
In the Soviet era, the so-called temple of health started to serve the health of the working people; after Estonia's independence, it became deserted and lost its function. Now, however, a new owner has been found and perhaps it will once again become one of the main symbols of the Pärnu resort!

Vice President Joe Biden will be in Georgia on Thursday to make an stimulus-related announcement with Gov. Sonny Perdue, the vice president's office told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution on Sunday.
Few details were available Sunday but would be released in the coming days, Biden's office said. President Barack Obama, who championed the stimulus act, has charged Biden with overseeing its implementation.
"We are looking forward to Vice President Biden's visit on Thursday," Perdue communications director Bert Brantley said. "He was very gracious to come to Georgia during the aftermath of the flooding earlier this year, including spending time at a shelter talking with families that lost their homes. We are glad to welcome him here this week under better circumstances to announce some good news for our state."
Brantley said the vice president's office would release details about the announcement later this week.
Georgia has received nearly $7 billion from the federal law known as the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, of which $3.8 billion has already been spent.
Federal records show the $787 billion stimulus act has created nearly 25,000 jobs in Georgia. But an AJC investigation in November found that number to be overstated by at least 1,500.
A major impact of the stimulus in Georgia has been to plug massive holes in the state budget. The state is using an estimated $1.4 billion in stimulus funds in its current budget, according to the Georgia Budget and Policy Institute. That created or saved 13,000 jobs in the state, the institute said in a report last week.

I drove through Alpharetta, Roswell and Johns Creek the other day and I saw 3 signs that were posted highlighting the fact that the road improvements were due to the American Recovery and Investment Act, yet I didn't see a single instance of any road improvements. As the current administration has shown, results of the TARP bill are false, inaccurate and inflated. The only jobs this stimulus bill has created in metro Atlanta is for the team of 2 guys it takes to put these fake signs in the ground.
December 13th, 2009
11:06 pm
Those 3 signs you mention ARE Obama's plan. Each sign cost $1,500.00 and $100.00 to install. The sign co. got the work to make them and the GDOT got the money to put them on the side of the road. Now, don't you feel like you're on the road to RecoverY????????? HAHAHAHA-THE JOKES ON US.

Hey Sonny, do you remember "When you said that Ford was on its death bed"? Its seems like to me that its the state of Ga. that's on the death bed. Tell me Mr. Governor, what have you done for metro Atlanta lately huh"? You brought Kia here but how many people from Metro Atlanta have gotten hired by them? Oh go ahead and say we don't want the money but yet the state is broke. What are you going to do raise taxes or layoff even more people. This is a total mess created by people of greed and its has fell on the backs of decent people who just want to work for a living. I suggest you go kiss whoever butt and bring jobs back to this state.

It's interesting that people want to complain about deficits now. These same people were SILENT to Bush's war on Terror and how many bills were being made for the benefit of a FOREIGN nation. At least with the money given for the restoration of Germany and Japan we made some trade partners. What are we getting for Iraq and Afghanistan? As far having to pay money back.. Would you rather the whole system collapse and then attempt to restart it with NO money!? Regrettable the Government has to run deficits but until private investors are ready to start investing again.. The Republicans offered NOTHING but the same old with TAX credits. Which didn't work before and will NOT work this time. We are in trouble now because of lack of TAX reserves!! It seems some people will not be happy till we return to the era of Hoovervilles! Sadly in some states like California we have seen that!

A governor has to do what a governor has to do, but I don't believe for a second that Sonny has ever been anything but a democrat. Like paying higher prices for natural gas? Send a thank you note to Sonny and his crew for making that happen when he was in the State Senate. Like the fact that he lied about a vote on the State Flag? Send a thank you note to Sonny.

You people that are complaining should go talk to people who lived through the depression, or know those children, elderly, poor, depressed etc. who didn't make it through the depression.

Yes, it is ironic that this clamor was less abundant during the rampant spending of the last administration. What's more amusing is all the armchair economic analysis. As if the individuals attempting to right the ship are in fact oblivious to the deficit. Or as if the government is expected to mitigate with much other than government spending. If you want more private economic activity, go implore the private sector. But of course it's always easier to hyper-simplify the dynamics and spend more time making ourselves sound good with tired sound bites.

This money comes with many strings attached. Read the regs, which are posted online. You must tie student performance to teacher and principals and have an "equity distribution" of effective teachers. If GA accepts this funding it will be the demise of public education in GA.

For Ray, woodworking started early, but not quite as early as disassembling. "As a child, I would always take all my toys apart," Ray admitted, "and was fascinated by how the toy worked. I recall once when I was five years old, I took my parents' windup alarm clock apart, but could not figure out how to put it back together again. Rather than own up to the disaster, I buried it in the backyard. I thought that would be the end of it, but, of course, that did not work.
"My first woodworking experience was in ninth grade shop class, where I built a simple but seaworthy eight-foot boat. That was about it for woodworking until after college. I intended to go to dental school after college, because my father was a dentist, but wound up getting a degree in botany. I did not get into dental school, but in 1976, I went to the Folklife Festival, the premier folk festival in the Pacific Northwest, and probably the largest of its kind in the United States. There I saw a hammered dulcimer, and fell in love."
In case you are not familiar with it, a hammered dulcimer looks like a large, trapezoid-shaped box with a multitude of strings stretched across it. You play it by hitting the strings with light wooden "hammers" or mallets that are slightly reminiscent of the hammers inside a piano.
Although it was a hammered dulcimer that stole his heart that day, he was soon to fall in love yet again. "That same year, I met Sue while playing guitar at a wedding gig. She was the maid of honor, but was nonetheless willing to talk to one of the musicians," Ray joked. "We met on the afternoon of the rehearsal; sparks flew and it was love at first sight, and we were married in 1978.
"Meanwhile, I was in my fifth year at college when a visiting instrument maker came by the school with a vanload of folk instrument kits. I bought a hammered dulcimer kit and a mountain dulcimer kit. My roommate, Randy, built the hammered dulcimer, and I built the other at our home. Sadly, the hammered dulcimer kit parts did not fit, so we took some two by fours and paneling, paired it with the hardware from the kit, and made a workable instrument. I still have that original instrument. It's ugly as sin, and always gets a laugh when people see it next to our current work."
"That inspired us to build more instruments so that we had better ones to play. As we learned tunes, we'd play at street fairs, switching off between guitar and dulcimer. People would ask us where they could get one, so we started offering to build them for others. We built a dozen or so in our house, turning the house into a workshop and small showroom store. In 1978, Randy moved out of state. At the time, I was working as a restaurant manager and building dulcimers as a hobby. On January 1, 1979, I quit my job and became a full-time hammered dulcimer maker, and Dusty Strings became an official company, albeit still in my house."
The curious company name came from a combination of reality and history. "We looked over a long list of names," Ray recounted, "but wanted something different. One reason for the name was that hammered dulcimers, our original instrument, were a historic instrument. They had been manufactured during their heyday from the late 1800s through the 1920s. After that, many were put away in attics and, consequently, got dusty. When the folk music revival came about in the late 1960s and early 70s, they came out of the attics and had their dust blown off. Dusty Strings is our tongue-in-cheek way of recognizing that. Adding to the image was the fact that in the early days of operation, before we got good dust collection, our shop was attached to the store, so finished instruments often sported a layer of woodworking dust.
"In 1980, Sue and I bought the house I was living in and continued building instruments there until 1982. By then, we were up to five employees, and decided to move into a commercial building in Fremont. We expanded to 2,500 feet of shop and store space and had the option to expand to 9,000 feet. It took us about 10 years, but we eventually filled it all. It wasn't until 2002 that we expanded even further, adding another building in Seattle strictly for manufacturing, which allowed us to spread the store to fill our first location. Today, we have f40 employees, almost three quarters of whom either build or repair instruments.
"During the early years, Sue had a 'real' job and was supporting us while I was trying to create an instrument business. I recall once when I had only one rubber sanding block and no power sanders thinking I could increase production if I had four sanding blocks, each with its own paper grit, but that was a major purchase in those days. It was not until 1983 that Sue quit her job and joined the company full-time.
"By 1984 ,we offered seven models of hammered dulcimers and were looking for something else to make. Harps had long been a fascination of mine, and some of the stores we sold dulcimers to were asking for Celtic harps, so that's what we added. Our top of the line harp is built with arched staves that make the instrument look more like a rowing shell and is surprisingly difficult to make. We currently make nine models of harps and 11 models of hammered dulcimers, but the harps outsell dulcimers by about three to one. Ironically, hammered dulcimers, the instruments we started with, are now playing second fiddle to harps."
No stranger to innovation, Ray has added to the field of instrument making scads of good technical information about building these unusual instruments and currently has a patent pending for an assembly technique for the soundbox of their entry-level harp. In addition to being an oasis for the folk musicians of the Seattle area, their store hosts an annual ukulele festival and an annual harp symposium.
Still, the main thrust of the business is making instruments that make music, but there is more to it for them than simple woodworking. "All of us here have a high level of pride in our products," Ray explained. "We often get recordings from artists who use our instruments, or see them in concert."
Lately, though, their instruments have taken on another rather unusual role. "Currently there's a groundswell of interest in using harps for healing therapies," Ray told me. "Some of our instruments end up in hospitals or hospice centers helping patients, where the music will actually lower blood pressure, respiratory rate and anxiety. Our employees are quite touched by this, and we're proud to be creating things that truly help people.
"For me, building instruments is about enhancing people's lives through music," Ray insists. "It creates the tools for people to create music, which takes them out of the realm of work and the technical world in which we live and gives them freedom of expression. Instruments take them away, hopefully to somewhere more peaceful."

SUNDANCE: MORIARTY Day One in Sundance - DONNIE DARKO and SUPER TROOPERS!! ARTICLE CORRECTED!!
Hey folks, Harry here. I was busting Moriarty's balls before he went to Sundance this year because he was being rather cocky about being able to send nightly updates and how it was no mean lick. Well, at the same time... He admitted that he'd never done the 'Film Festival' thing before... and certainly has never done Sundance before. I laughed, not out of cruelty, but because... Having done SUNDANCE the first time... I remember. I remember fighting to get Internet access.... being exhausted everyday.... I managed maybe 5 reports in 7 days, but hehehe... It was brutal. You're seeing films from Dawn till dawn in thin frigidly cold air, triapsing through the snow and trying like mad to fight getting sick or from dozing off. It is an endurance test unlike anything Moriarty and Robie have ever faced. They are handling it brilliantly though. Their hotel room has no internet access, they've patched into a payphone wire using techniques learned from watching WARGAMES and TERMINATOR 2 and this was the FIRST REPORT! I believe it was cut off at the end. Now, Moriarty sent this in two days ago... Now like I told the Professor, the rules of Garp law clearly dictate that 'shit happens'. My Road Runner account got hit by a tactical nuke... thereby not enabling me to open the email for 2 days, so... heheh... Like I said before to the Professor... "You have no idea what is going to happen" There is a mine field of problems that come with Film Festival reporting... they've hit the first wave of explosions and are still on their feet! Oh, and that's the guy claiming to be Moriarty on the left below... If you see him, feel free to go up and just give him a hug in gratitude for his wondrous prose!
SUNDANCE 2001: DAY ONE With MORIARTY - DONNIE DARKO and SUPER TROOPERS!!
Hey, everyone. "Moriarty" here with some Rumblings From The Lab.
1:30 AM, Friday the 19th, Heber City, Utah. John Robie and I are at the tail end of an eleven-hour drive. It's 14 degrees outside. We have no official press credentials, no tickets in hand, the craziest list of contact numbers you've ever seen, a bag full of video equipment, and a fair amount of stress. When we pull up to the outside of the nondescript motor inn where we're staying (only the best here at AICN, folks), the place is closed for the night, and there's a sign on the door: "McWeeny, Wright/Cok, B. Kink, keys are in drop box." McWeeny, Wright/Cok and B. Kink? Sounds like a porno law firm.
Welcome to our particular version of Sundance 2001.
Year after year, ever since SEX, LIES, AND VIDEOTAPE made Sundance the hottest American festival, I have sat on the sidelines like most of you, reading about the films that unspooled each year, wishing that I could visit, that I could dive into what sounded like a great big cinemacentric circus, each year finding some excuse not to go. Each year, I've been amazed at how much critics seem to complain about things, declare the festival dead, and spend as much energy condemning the event as discussing it. When I learned at the last minute that we would be attempting a Sundance trip this year, I was thrilled. No matter what happens, no matter how crazy the next seven days are, I am looking forward to it.
Already this morning, we've started to get our bearings. It's overwhelming upon first exposure. Robie and I were up and out of our hotel before 8 AM, and drove from Heber City up into Park City proper. It's about fifteen minutes, and the roads were thankfully clear. Although it's cold out, it's beautiful and the air is bracing. Once we hit town, it was a fairly simple matter to find the Shadow Ridge Lodge, the location of the press office. Checking in there was another matter altogether. Onsite press registration takes a full 24 hours, so we filled out our applications and turned them in. This means no press passes at all until Saturday morning at the earliest, and that's only if we're given accreditation. If we end up with an A-level access pass, which is what we applied for, then the rest of the week should be fairly manageable. Today, though, we found ourselves looking at a whole lot of nothing if we didn't get out there and start talking to people immediately.
We spent about an hour walking from publicity suite to publicity suite in the Shadow Ridge. Each of the different firms that is representing films h ere has a suite set up where they can answer questions, hold interviews, and play meet and greet. Everyone we spoke to was gracious and helpful, and we set up a few screenings later in the weekend as well as interviews with a number of actors and directors. At one point we walked past Albert Brooks and Leelee Sobieski, deep into their press day for MY FIRST MISTER, the film that opened the festival at a Thursday night screening in Salt Lake City. We also bumped into Joan Chen, more petite than I imagined. She looked as lost as I felt. It was at the last suite, though, that we finally connected with a screening for today: DONNIE DARKO.
We were sent to the Eccles Center, one of the primary venues for the festival, and we met director Richard Kelly outside. Richard appeared to be about 11 years old, his cheeks ruddy from the cold. He greeted us warmly, though, and told us he had tickets for the 2:00 show, the first public screening of the film. He had a great nervous energy pouring off of him, playing it off as best he could. Robie shot a bit of footage of Richard in those last few nervous moments before the film's premiere, and it'll be interesting to catch up with him later this week to see how he's feeling now that the film is out there. It's such a turning point for a first-time filmmaker. All of a sudden, it's not yours anymore. This thing, this dream you've been carrying around, is out there now, and it's fair game, and people are going to have reactions to it that you can't control.
It was almost an hour and a half after that before the doors of the Eccles finally opened. Robie and I sat in the lobby for a few moments, trying to catch our collective breath. The lobby filled up quickly, and by the time the doors were finally opened to let us in, the lobby was packed. We were standing next to Richard's family, listening to them talking about him as a kid, and the stories made me think about myself as a kid. There was the same early love of movies, the same fascination with storytelling. We bumped into a number of people who knew AICN for one reason or another and recognized me. The preshow was interesting enough, but once we got inside the Eccles and I experienced the seats for the first time, the real entertainment kicked in.
You see, the Eccles Theater is attached to a high school. It's a gigantic auditorium, but the seats were made for midgets. Dwarf midgets. Oddly tiny ones, even by dwarf midget standards. You're piled one on top of another, no room between you, no armrests to speak of. You get to know your neighbor really, really well. By the time the lights went down, I think that technically I was married to the woman sitting to my right. Maybe even to the woman on her right. It is, after all, Utah.
That's not a complaint, either. Just an observation. I don't care what theater I see these movies in this week. They could show them to us in the hospitality suites and I'd be fine with it.
Especially when the film that's being screened is something like DONNIE DARKO. Here's the exact thing I hoped I would see at a festival: a film of great promise from an emerging filmmaker that will no doubt be hotly debated in the months between now and its eventual release. DONNIE DARKO is a far from perfect movie, and it will frustrate many viewers, but there's a spell that it cast on me that I can't shake. It's been a number of hours since the film ended now, but there are images I am still turning over in my mind. The film is resolutely, even stubbornly oblique. It refuses to give you answers, and it even refuses to connect material from point A to point B at times, but that's part of what started to work on me.
I was moved most by the sense of family that Kelly paints with the film. Donnie (Jake Gyllenhaal) is a troubled boy, visiting Dr. Thurman (Katherine Ross, looking more like Sharon Gless with each passing day), his psychiatrist, and taking daily medication. His parents, Eddie (Holmes Osborne) and Rose (Mary McDonnell), are both good people who just don't know how to communicate this stranger in their home. The Donnie they knew as a child is gone, replaced with a sullen, surly, sarcastic sleepwalker who has a bad habit of waking up miles from home in his pajamas. The easy thing to do with these characters would be to paint them as the enemy, but Osborne and McDonnell both do wonderful work here, playing all the highs and lows of parents who are just trying to figure their boy out. I remember once when I was in high school and I accidentally snapped and told a teacher to "go down on this." The teacher blew a gasket and hauled me into the principal's office, furious, demanding action. The principal called my father and made me tell him the whole story on the phone. His response? Exactly like Osborne's in a similar scene in this film... laughter. Osborne is as amused by his son as anything. McDonnell is the one with the broken heart, and she does a great job of walking a tightrope around Donnie, never quite sure how to be or what to say. Donnie's older sister is played by Maggie Gyllenhaal, Jake's real life sister, and there's a great spark of sibling rivalry between them that's underlined by unspoken affection. It pays off in the way we invest in Donnie and what happens to him.
The film is such a strange ride, such a particular fairy tale about time and possibility and the simple power of connection that it seems like a miracle that it not only got funded but that it also attracted actors like Noah Wyle, Jena Malone, Drew Barrymore, and Patrick Swayze, who is actually very funny in a supporting role as a sleazy self-help guru with a secret. They all seem to have tuned into Richard Kelly's strange world, though, and that goes a long way towards selling it as real and persuasive. Jena Malone plays Gretchen, a new girl in town who becomes Donnie's girlfriend, drawn to his strange way of talking to people and his sadness. She's got more than her own share of sadness as she deals with her relocation, part of a situation between her mother and her psychotic stepfather. She's good for Donnie, giving him a taste of normal life in the middle of his dissolution. Every kiss they share seems supercharged, the way they do when you're young and you're just starting to enjoy the opposite sex. Every kiss is important. Every love is forever. Both Barrymore and Wyle play teachers of Donnie's, people who add crucial pieces to his understanding of the bizarre forces at work in his life. There's a number of supporting actors who I didn't recognize, actors who help fill out the rest of Donnie's world, who all do good work.
What really sells the world in the end, though, is the cinematography by Stephen Poster, who's shot films like SOMEONE TO WATCH OVER ME, THE BOY WHO COULD FLY, and the upcoming STUART LITTLE II. He's primarily a commercial and music video DP, and the chance to do something like DARKO seems to have inspired him to stretch as an artist. He and Kelly have obviously collaborated closely here, and there's a wonderful texture to what they've captured. The strangest details jump out at me as I think back on the film, like Donnie and his younger sister Samantha (Daveigh Chase, who we'll see this summer in AI) on the trampoline, the two of them sharing a lazy afternoon, or the revelation of Frank the Bunny in a movie theater, sitting next to Gretchen and Donnie as they watch THE EVIL DEAD.
Oh, yeah... Frank the Bunny. I know what I'm going as for Halloween this year if I can get the costume right. People are going to argue vehemently about what Frank means, about who he is and what role he really plays in the life of Donnie. I have my theories, but it seems a shame to force them on you before you have a chance to see the movie. I'll just say that to me, there's an echo that Donnie picks up, an echo that moves back in time instead of forward, and he happens to be receptive to that echo because of his medication and his disconnection from the world around him. I think the film makes sense the way a dream makes sense, with images that seem oblique if read literally or even as typical metaphors. Kelly wants you to do the work as a viewer. He wants you to fill in the gaps and have a reaction.
That's the one thing that's guaranteed: love it or hate it, you won't forget DONNIE DARKO.
Our early evening was spent trying out some local food (thanks to Junior Mintz for recommending Texas Red's) and trying to hook up with some of the friends we have wandering around up here. Everyone has a cel phone surgically grafted to their heads in Park City except for us, it seems. I've never had a reason to question my moral opposition to the damn devices until this week. We did finally get hold of some friends and dropped by their condo, a rental that's nicer than the Moriarty Labs or the John Robie Cathouse. We were busy trying to figure out a way to take the place over and establish squatter's rights when they produced two tickets to the 11:30 screening of the new comedy SUPER TROOPERS. Their bribe to get us out of the place may not have been subtle, but it was greatly appreciated.
I've always heard The Egyptian and the Eccles referenced as two of the most prominent venues at Sundance, so it's nice that we got in to see one film at each on our first day. The Egyptian was more welcoming on the ass and the back, with a wee bit more legroom. We walked in just a few minutes before the screening began and managed to find great seats on the left side of the theater, down near the front. Just as we were settling in, they brought up Jay Chandrasekhar, the film's director, as well as the rest of the group Broken Lizard. This is their second time at Sundance, following 1997's PUDDLE CRUISER. They warmed up the crowd with a quick round of "Who's the Mute?" then cleared the stage so we could see the film.
This is one you're going to see this year. There's no way this thing's leaving Sundance without a distributor. It's wicked funny, it's a different voice in comedy from what I'm used to seeing, and it's got a remarkable energy to it. Chandrasekhar is a solid comedy director, knowing how to milk maximum laughs out of material that I would describe as subtle, wry, and primarily character based. This isn't the raucous raunch of the Farrelly Brothers or their various imitators. Instead, Broken Lizard has created a fantasy world in which the crazed shenanigans of a group of Vermont State Troopers aren't just anarchy for its own sake, but are more a response to being marginalized, an antidote to boredom. Thorny (Chandrasekhar), Mac (Steve Leme), Foster (Paul Soter), and Rabbit (Erik Stolhanske) share a sense of absurdist humor that makes it possible for them to face down the possibility that their entire department is about to be closed down as an unnecessary expenditure. They have to balance their need to prank with the desires of Captain O'Hagan (Brian Cox in a revelatory comic performance) and the pinheaded thuggery of Farva (Kevin Heffernan), one of their fellow officers. They're also faced with the scorn of the local police, who consider them useless and constantly fight with them.
When festival programmer Geoff Gilmore introduced the film, he called it "POLICE ACADEMY 4 on crack," but that's the kind of description that undermines films to me. The POLICE ACADEMY films were lowbrow in every way, and there's nothing about this film that's lowbrow. The sense of humor that the film and Broken Lizard both demonstrate is genuinely smart stuff, with a silly streak a mile wide. This is going to sound like an impossible comparison, but they bring the Marx Brothers to mind for me. I am a rabid fan of Groucho and the boys, and what I always love about them is the way they deflate pomposity without the slightest effort. They would roll into totally normal situations and chaos would follow in their wake, society standing no chance against the full force of their wit. Broken Lizard isn't quite that laser-focused yet, but they could be. It's the first time in a long time that I've seen a team of comic performers in a film where they all just come across as actors, not comedians occasionally playing straight. They manage to play a fairly wide range of reactions with ease, and you really do buy these relationships. There's a really wonderful paternal relationship that they all seem to share with O'Hagan, and the way they all stand against the other cops. When Foster breaks all the rules and starts dating local cop Ursula (Marisa Coughlin at her most charming), he has to keep it a secret because of how closely knit the group is. I really love the way this subplot is handled, since comedies so often drop the ball in introducing the pat romantic elements. In this film, there's a really sweet spark between Foster and Ursula, and we can understand the attraction in both directions. They're both smart and funny, and their story never slows things down for a second.
I saw a few clips from this film out of context, and they seemed almost too gentle, too mild. In context, though, once you've had a chance to see the relationships develop, the same clips were much funnier, much more focused. Another big contributing factor to the film's effectiveness is the score by .38 Special. Yeah, you read that right. .38 freakin' Special wrote the score for the film, and it's awesome. It gives these characters big giant balls from the moment they appear onscreen. This is the soundtrack they're hearing in their heads as they prank their way through things. It's got a real old-school rock sound to it that makes these guys mythic when they hit the screen.
The bottom line about SUPER TROOPERS is this: the film made me laugh out loud, long and hard, for the majority of its running time. That's the most important criteria for any comedy, and this film passes with flying colors. I can't wait for PUDDLE CRUISER to debut on Sundance Channel this month so I can catch up with their earlier work, and I look forward to anything with the name Broken Lizard on it in the years to come.
By the time we fooled around with the SERIES 7 party at Cisero's and bumped into The Dude and Spike (of Spke and Mike's fame) and watched Harvey Weinstein heap compliments on Broken Lizard and goofed around in the now-heavy snow outside, it was almost 3:00 AM, and we headed back down the mountain to Heber City, where we packed it in for the night, determined to start Saturday with our press credentials and a vigorous screening schedule.
Bear with us as we work out technical issues on our end here in Heber City. It hasn't exactly been simple getting online to post, but we're going to do our damnedest to bring you the coverage as we go, whenever and however we can. We've got some great interviews set up in the days ahead, and as I get ready to grab a quick power nap at 7:44 on Sunday morning, I'm still reeling from an amazing day of film on Saturday. More on that to come...

Golden Globe rant
by IAmLegolas
"And now, presenting... the star of 'Crocodile Dundee In Los Angeles'... Paul Hogan!". Okay, at this point of the Golden Globe awards I starting laughing my ass off for 5 minutes straight. How come crap like this gets made and cool ideas like "Aliens Vs. Predator" are languishing in developmental hell? How embarrassing is it to be Paul Hogan at this point as the audience sat there in stunned silence? Another funny moment was when Tom Cruise was announced as the star of the new movie "Vanilla Ice" (The film is actually called "Vanilla Sky"). George Clooney cracking a joke that everyone in the audience was drunk when he won Best Actor for "O' Brother, Where Art Thou?" was cool. Nuts to you, EWeekly, for giving that film an F. It f**king ROCKED when Ang Lee won for best director for his most excellent film "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", which also won for Best Foreign film, although I think it should of been up for best picture ("Gladiator" got that one, kickass!). "CT,HD' is hands down best film of the year for me. Props go to Al Pacino for winning the Cecil B. DeVille award. Wish they showed the clip of Al dancing with another man from one of his older, obscure, 'swept under the rug' movies, "Cruising", up there with the clip montage/tribute (He played a cop in the film who goes undercover as a gay man to investigate some hate crime/murders; based on a true story). Seeing Lisa Gerrard (ex-Dead Can Dance) ACTUALLY THERE winning an award with Hans Zimmer for "Gladiator" was awesome too, I hope she does more movie scores. Screw you Roger Ebert for sh*tting on "Gladiator" for your picks of 2000!!!! IN YOUR FACE, FLANDERS! Elizabeth Taylor embarrassing herself at the end, trying to be the 'diva of the evening' was hilarious as well. That's all I can remember as highlights for me, I wished they were more consistent with showing film clips of each actor/actresss when they were being nominated. (I wanted to see Willam Dafoe doing his vampire thing)...

I saw the wonderful donnie darko on saturday at the wonderful sundance film festival. what an experience. so i catch the 9:30 showing in salt lake and we sit down and enjoy the first half of the film quite a bit. then the fourth reel kicks in and things get a bit strange. ok, so this movie is as weird as anything you've seen and so when something altogether nutty happens you take it in stride. like when it starts playing backwards and upside down. nobody said anything for about a minute. i was thinking "wow, this guy is cutting edge!" then we realized that the projectionist wasn't quite in the moment when stringing that bastard together. so 10 minutes go by and they finally get around to shutting the thing off. not to worry, though. writer/director richard kelly is there 'my films weird, but not this weird' to save the day with some forced intermission q&a. after about 20 minutes of him, he pulls out this kid that plays a bit role to answer some questions. before we know it some random character from the audience is beatboxing with this kid freestyle rapping. That $7 i didn't pay sure went a long way. we finally rolled out of there at about 1:30. oh, by the way, great film. this kelly kid is going places. i mean, it's kind of sad listening to him tell us of all the difficulties he had getting it made. no disrespect or anything, cos she's the reason it was saved from the dead screenplay shelf, but drew barrymore isn't that great. newsflash. it's downright disgusting to hear that in two years not one production company could see donnie darko's potential. but what's new?

puddle cruiser
by Whistler
i was on the cinema committee at my university last year and we got puddle cruiser...we got a trailer for it ahead of time so we could decide if we wanted to order it for our program. it looked pretty funny, but when we got it, it was pretty bad. i laughed longer after the movie (when i realized how bad it was) than i did during the movie. i really hope they did a better job with this new flick. i will say the director/actor was probably the best part of the film, so it's good that he's back.

Tillandsias: Air Plants from Garden to Vase
Garden Party
I know that some of you out there might think of tillandsias (or air plants) as glorified weeds. In Florida and Texas, they wantonly cling to branches and shrubs, the unwanted bane of many a gardener's existence. But out here in California, they make rare and beautiful indoor specimen plants, and I've found them an unexpectedly lovely addition to flower arrangements too.
Tillandsias are a member of the bromeliad family, and they're commonly called "air plants" because the roots grow without soil, often attached to other plants. Many varieties have a kind of starburst shape, reminiscent of a sea creature, like something dwelling on a reef. But there are hundreds of species, and some of them look nothing like sea creatures at all ("Spanish moss," for example, is actually a tillandsia). Many varieties produce lovely, colorful blooms with a tropical kind of vibrancy.
Most tillandsias will do quite well indoors with decent light (bright, but not direct) and a weekly misting or a nice soak in a basin of water every other week.
Tillandsias in the Vase
I've used these plants for a number of bridal bouquets this season — they have such a festive air, and of course it's fun for couples to take home the living plants as reminders of the wedding. But I love them for everyday flower arrangements too. They add a sculptural, modern element to a traditional floral bouquet, and the pale silver-tinged colors provide nice contrast with darker flowers and foliage.
Prepping your tillandsias to add them to a bouquet could not be simpler. Use a piece of thick-gauge wire (18-gauge works best, in my experience); floral wire in thicker gauges can be found at craft stores or on floral supply websites. Just insert the wire into the bottom of the tillandsia, either right through the roots or through a leaf. More delicate plants will require a bit of finesse at this step so that they don't lose too many leaves, but you can always remove the damaged leaves later and your plant will remain happy and intact.
Tillandsia Terrariums
Air plants are also perfect for terrariums. Use their natural shape to your advantage to create an interesting effect against the glass walls of your container. All you need are some durable materials to fill in the little landscape: lichen, mossy branches, seed pods, and blue thistles are all good options. The terrariums pictured above, made by Liz Casco at Flora Grubb Gardens, are enchanting little worlds in themselves. All they need, just like the plants alone, is decent natural light and a little mist each week.
You can also use hot glue to affix tillandsias to driftwood (or pretty much anything else!)…or just display them on their own, lined up along a pretty platter or tucked into bowls.
Check out the Flora Grubb web shop for tillandsia terrariums; you can buy loose plants from nurseries online (just do a simple google search).

I love this idea! I wish they were easier to find in my area, because I would love to make an arrangement like this with an old glass vase I have.
Yeah an air plant post! What great beautiful uses! I've just started making corsages and pins with my air plants and recently shipped off ten for a backyard wedding in MA. And I love placing the plants in vintage vases - that's what started my Etsy shop! Thanks for the post~~
I live in Texas and I LOVE air plants. I have in my time killed quite a few ferns and cacti. The best part about these beautifully unique plants is that they only need a spritz of water! I have mine hanging in glass globes I purchases at my work that hang from old ropes. To Aimee, I'm sure you could get these on the web. They require so little water and sunlight, they would be easy to ship! I got mine here for a few dollars each:
They aren't on the website but you can call (713)528-3838
I guess I should have offered my shop address with my air plants for sale! Check out my creations at:
I'm also inviting folks to post the most interesting vessel for an air plant on my Facebook page right now -- best one gets a free plant! http://www.facebook.com/toHOLD
Interesting idea! Not one I'd use because I'm more a fan of tropical plants, but the little glass cases are so cool!
...was going to log in and tell you about my friend (and former professor) kara! but she beat me to it! seriously, her stuff is killer.
The vases are an amzing idea.. very cool.
I've lived with tillandsias pretty much my entire life. my dad has been collecting those and bromeliads as long as I can remember. they look especially awesome suspended on fishing line, in a ball shape. I currently have a few sticking out of my pottery collection and in a thrifted pig. they look great everywhere!!
There are endless possibilities for displaying air plants as they do not require dirt. Be sure to have good air circulation if you are placing them in containers and don't put glass containers in bright sunlit areas as they magnify the heat and light and may harm your air plants. As mentioned you want bright but indirect sunlight.

If watching sprint car legend Steve Kinser and the other World of Outlaws drivers roar on the dirt at 120 mph isn't enough to rev you up, NASCAR star Tony Stewart returns to his racing roots for the grand opening of Stockton 99 Dirt Track on March 22.
Tony Noceti, owner of the NASCAR-sanctioned quarter-mile asphalt Stockton 99 Speedway, has turned the infield of the San Joaquin Fairgrounds horse racing track into a half-mile dirt oval with 15-degree banking in the corners. It has drivers salivating over the speeds that can be reached.
"We held our first test sessions last week and the guys were averaging 116 miles per hour," Noceti said. "(Stockton) driver Brad Furr ran five straight laps in his 410 (cubic inch) sprint car and never lifted off the gas pedal. That's how fast and how hooked up his car was."
Stewart got his start racing on dirt. He owns the famed Eldora Speedway, a half-mile dirt track in Rossburg, Ohio, and he funds several sprint car teams. When he heard about the construction of the new track, he figured it would be an easy trip to Stockton in his private jet since NASCAR is in Fontana that weekend.
"He actually contacted us and wanted to race against the World of Outlaws," said Noceti, who will pay Stewart an appearance fee. "Ticket sales were already strong because of the Outlaws, and it's our grand opening. But when we announced that Stewart would race, too, well, sales went through the roof."
Noceti said tickets still are available, but he expects a sellout by race day. Tickets can be purchased at dirtcar.ticketforce.com.
The dirt track will have a limited schedule with some King of the West dates and open races. For more information, go to stockton99.com.
Stockton 99 Speedway also will have its usual schedule on that Friday night, Noceti said.
McAnally teams strong in Phoenix
All four Bill McAnally Racing teams at the Phoenix International Raceway last weekend for the Talking Stick Resort 60 finished in the top 11, led by Sergio Pena's fifth place.
BMR lead driver Eric Holmes is reducing his schedule for the 2013 K&N Pro Series West season, citing business and family responsibilities, team owner Bill McAnally said.
"Eric will share time with Brandon McReynolds in the No. 20 Napa Auto Parts car, and I've signed Michael Waltrip to drive two races this season," McAnally said.
McAnally also signed Pena, a rising star. Pena, 19, and McReynolds, 21, give McAnally his youngest team ever. McReynolds finished ninth in Phoenix.
"They both have great potential," McAnally said. "And they're both ready for this season."
The other two drivers for BMR in Phoenix were Canadians D.J. Kennington (seventh) and Jamie Krzysik (11th).
Only Pena and McReynolds will be entered on a regular basis during the K&N Pro Series season, McAnally said. McReynolds is the son of former NASCAR champion crew chief and current TV commentator Larry McReynolds.

In a surprise move today, the United Auto Workers dropped its effort to overturn the result of the Feb. 14 unionization election at the Volkswagen plant in Chattanooga, Tenn., as my Washington Examiner colleague Sean Higgins has reported. Despite lack of opposition from Volkswagen, which was under pressure from its German union IG Metall, the UAW lost the election by a 712-626 margin. The UAW had been challenging the election at the National Labor Relations Board, with its current pro-union majority, and had subpoenaed Tennessee Gov. Bill Haslam and Sen. Bob Corker who, it claimed, had made remarks that made it, in the words of UAW President Bob King, a "tainted election."
Haslam and Corker announced that they would not comply with the subpoenas. Federal labor law places limits on what an employer can do to oppose unionization. But my understanding is that it doesn't place limits on what third parties can say — and I should think that the First Amendment to the Constitution would stand squarely in the way of any such limits. If Haslam and Corker can't comment freely on a pending union election, can anyone else?
In any case, this is a stinging defeat for the UAW, whose membership peaked at 1.5 million in 1979 and at the end of 2013 was down to 391,000. The union hoped to overcome its longtime inability to organize Southern plants of foreign-based auto companies, and Volkswagen's tacit support of unionization gave it an advantage that it has not enjoyed elsewhere. In Chattanooga in the run-up to the speedily scheduled election, Grover Norquist's Americans for Tax Reform put up billboards saying, among other things, "Detroit: brought to you by the UAW." The bankruptcy of the city of Detroit, where the UAW is headquartered, and the 2009 bankruptcies of UAW-organized General Motors and Chrysler evidently hurt the union's efforts in Tennessee.
This seems likely to end the UAW's efforts to organize foreign-based auto plants in the South. Public officials in other Southern states are likely to chime in as Haslam and Corker did, and no other company seems as open to unionization as Volkswagen was.

Wonderful organic blend by this company.

Dear Colleagues,
Yesterday, the Texas Southmost College Board of Trustees affirmed its decision to establish a separate junior college, ending the 20-year partnership between The University of Texas System and TSC.
Our work now is to move forward. Certainly, separation will be a complicated task, but one that I'm confident we will work through while ensuring that the well-being of our students is paramount in all we do.
Our mission has always been to serve the higher-education needs of our growing community; that remains unchanged. Given the challenging fiscal constraints faced by the state of Texas in particular and our country in general, we must take extraordinary care to continue to make decisions that use scarce resources efficiently.
This semester, one of our freshman classes was asked to write an essay on why they want to graduate from college. Three themes emerged from the responses:
Through our work in higher education, we have inspired a new generation of students in our region who have dared to dream and who are counting on us to help them fulfill those dreams.
It is time now to set aside the differences that surfaced over the last few months and to seek solutions to the complex path before us.
Let us each take a moment to pause and reflect on our extraordinary accomplishments. They have been the result of the hard work of hundreds whose leadership guided our path. Imagine now what we can accomplish going forward: the next step in an evolutionary process toward providing more opportunities for our students. We have always been the designers and builders of our future. We are called to that task again.
We have overcome great challenges in the past. I am confident that with your help, cooperation and goodwill, we will continue to succeed.
