What Our Clients Have to Say
"Wow. We came in for a couples massage for the holidays and I, being a guy, usually have a problem with my therapist not using enough pressure. I don't need extreme pressure but I just cannot stand a light massage. But Donna worked on me and Paula worked on my wife and I can say that Donna knows how to use good pressure! I was pleasantly surprised. She worked out all the kinks in my neck and my lower back and legs. Really enjoyed those warm stones too. Never experienced that before but very nice. My wife and I both really enjoyed our sessions and we will definitely return soon." Andy and Jennifer S.; 12-23-13; Heavenly Stones Couples Massage.
"Thanks for pampering my sister and I on her birthday Donna. You really have a knack for making people feel special and cared for. I have had a lot of massages and mostly many therapists seem to be going through the motions but I can tell that you really enjoy what you do. Very refreshing. I just felt like you were totally present the whole time and really focused on helping me to de-stress. And can I please have your massage table?! It was so warm and soft! Wonderful this time of year!! Thanks again and Happy New Year to you." Cheryl W. and Molly P.; 12-26-13; Heavenly Scents Couples Massage.
"I don't like writing reviews but Donna asked so here goes: Wow! My wife and I were more than a bit sceptical when it was recommended that we try the heavenly stones couple massage because my wife had hot stones used on her before and it was not all that. But the way they use the stones here is wonderful. Very unusual, effective. A very nice eclectic mixture of techniques. We both left feeling totally rejuvenated and definitely moving better and the rest of our special day together I think we actually enjoyed more because we had the massage first! I know lots of friends who need to experience this." Arthur S.; Renae S.; Heavenly Stones Couples Massage: 9-21-13
"My wife, who is 8 months pregnant, and I came in for a much needed massage before we get ready to be parents and we were pleasantly surprised by the level of care and professionalism displayed by our therapists. We have gotten massages at area spas and Massage Envy before and those massages were ok. However, now I see the difference in having seasoned therapists work on you. Wow! What a treat! My wife was totally pampered and made comfortable throughout her massage and I got a great sports massage. Awesome. We will definitely be back after the baby is born." Jonathan E.; Sherry E.; Baby Moon Tables For Two: 6-10-13
"Donna and Paula are very warm and friendly. They made us feel comfortable immediately. They just went about everything in a very classy way. We came for my wife to have a pre-natal massage and Donna accommodated her so that she felt as comfortable and relaxed as possible. Neither of us had gone to a professional massage before, but Donna and Paula made the entire experience very smooth. It went off without a hitch! We would definitely recommend them to friends and family. Katie and Danny W.; Service: Prenatal Tables For Two; Date: 4-14-13
"My girlfriend and I came in on Valentine's Day weekend. We both found the experience to be extremely soothing and relaxing. The quality of the massage was the best I have ever had. I would highly recommend this for anyone, especially couples." Tony T. and Michelle T.; Service: Stress Buster Tables For Two; Date: 2-16-13.
"The massage was amazing. It felt like I was on the beach relaxing. The room felt automatically comforting and relaxing. Everything was as to be expected and Amanda and myself will recommend your services to anyone we meet. Thank you." Chris W. and Amanda G.; Service: Tables For Two; Date: January 2013
"This was the first time for the both of us getting a massage. I will say this was by far the best decision we have made. It has a nice environment, not to mention the staff is awesome. I would recommend anyone come and try them out. Coming in stressed and tense, once we left we were at our most comfortable state in life." Thanks Donna! K. Allison and D. Smith; Service: Tables For Two - Feb. 2013.
"We were very impressed with the massages and the learning experience. We would absolutely recommend the Couples Massage Training for anyone who wants to recieve a wonderful massage and to learn how to give a proper massage to their partner." G. Guice - 2012

Great blog Wheels. I'll be the first to admit that I was nervous about Rich Cho, especially with all the rumors coming in, and all the people expecting this team to be broken down. Then what does he do? Well, in my opinion, finds the final piece to the Championship Contention. Now, we just need him to resign Oden. With Joel and Dante being traded, thus a lack of height for the Blazers, I'm sure that's his intention.Tuesday was, as you said, a great day to be a Blazer. Heck, today's a great day to be a Blazer!
Awesome Wheels - the Blazers have great chemistry - I give them an A+ - everyday is a great day to be a Blazer :)
Good piece of work Wheels. Keep the blogs coming, we love them.
NIce job once again Wheels. I love reading what comes out when you get a chance to just sit down and write down some thoughts and opinions from your perspective. Thanks for sharing this, and even more so, THANK YOU for sharing your passion for the sport and, more importantly, for this team every time you put on that headset.
I agree in how important continuity is. Well said.

Expressing breastmilk is useful even if you're solely breastfeeding. It allows your partner to feed and bond and can help make you more comfortable. Here's our guide on how to express milk successfully and conveniently.
Even women who breastfeed find there are times when they might want to bottle feed their baby. If you're not sure where to start and which is the best type of expresser for you, check out our Buyer's Guide to Breastpumps.
Well, you absolutely don't need to express your milk at all if you don't want to. If you plan to solely breastfeed up to one year, when your child will start to drink regular, full-fat cow's milk from a cup, you do not need to invest in bottles, steriliser etc. However, there may be reasons why you do want to use a bottle for at least some baby feeds
If you want to feed your newborn but he is being treated in hospital then you can start to expressing straight away. For women who are breastfeeding regularly, where there is no immediate need for a bottle feed, it is a good idea to just concentrate on mother and baby feeding for the first six weeks or so, to enable your breasts to adjust to a more even level of demand from your child. If you introduce expressing sessions at the same time, you breasts might go into overdrive on days when your new baby has several major feeds! If you do need to start expressing sooner than six weeks, this isn't a major worry, but do make sure you don't overdo it. (See below.)
As mentioned above, you will need to buy a:
Not sure which ones to buy? Check out our full reviews of breastpumps, feeding bottles and sterilisers on our sister site MadeForMums. However, if you don't think you'll be using bottles and expressing a great deal, it's worth looking at the different kinds of models, in our Buyer's Guide to Sterilisers so that you're not spending more money than you need to.
Like learning to play the trumpet, expressing may take a few false starts where little happens, before you start to get results. Don't be downhearted. When I had my first child, I found nothing came out for about the first four sessions, when I used a manual pump, then I suddenly turned a corner and found I could express 15oz in one sitting! However, with my second child, after a couple of the most I could usually muster in one go was about 8oz even once I was back into the swing of things. Make sure all your pump bits and pieces are sterilised, and make sure your hands are clean when you are doing this. Your nipples will be fine as feeding and the milk itself keep them naturally tickety-boo.
You do need to allow yourself some time - it will take between about 20 minutes to an hour - so find a comfortable place to sit and have a drink or snack to hand. Try if you can to do this while your baby is asleep or happily drooling to himself, so that he is not getting hungry watching you giving your precious milk up to this strange object! Bear in mind that your baby will still want his milk so try not to express too soon after a feed, when you are still 'refilling', or too close to the next one. Boobs are amazing things, so they will adjust if you start to add an expressing session to your regime. Try not to express too vigourously as you do not want to overwork your milk production. Expressing both breasts until they are empty is fine, but if they seem to dry up after just a couple of ounces, don't fret too much. Many women find that doing an expressing session in the morning (say at about 9am, if your first feed of the day was at 7am-ish), produces more milk because of the build up overnight. Gently massage your boobs a little before you start to loosen up the milk ducts if they are feeling full.<p> They all work in a similar way: you are using a gentle sucking motion to draw the milk out of your breasts. But follow the product manual for specific tips as they do all vary a little. (You can buy manual pumps or electric ones.)
When you have finished expressing, you can store milk in the bottle of the breastpump (sealed with a sterilised ring and lid) in the fridge for up to 24 hours, if you are going to use it later. It can then be fed direct from that bottle, warmed gently first. Longer term you need to store milk in the freezer, where it can be safely kept for up to three months. Your pump will usually come with sterile bags to freeze your milk in. You can usually quite easily buy more bags from a good chemist. Empty the milk in by wrapping the mouth of the bag fully over the top of your bottle and then upturning the milk into it. Even though bags might look like they take up to 8oz of milk, you will probably be better off emptying the milk into two bags of 4oz each, as the bag will be easier to seal if you leave more room. Also, the milk will expand a little when frozen. Most bags seal with clips like the kind of plastic clips you use when sealing food bags. You can buy these or just use clean food bag clips, but make sure they shut fully and securely. Life with baby is a muddle! Use stickers (many expressing kits come with quite a few to start you off) with the date you expressed on them to make sure you only use milk that has been stored for a maximum of three months. Don't rely on your memory! When you put them in the freezer, you might want to stand them up in a lunchbox or something, so they don't get bashed about next to your peas and fish fingers!
To defrost, leave a frozen bag standing upright and still clipped shut, in a mug in the fridge for a few hours. You can buy a special frame to feed straight from the bag. However, this is quite a messy way of doing things and you're just as well off emptying the contents of a bag into a sterile bottle for a feed.
For more information about how to thaw and use breastmilk, check our guide to storing breastmilk.

Escherichia Coli (E. Coli)
Escherichia Coli (commonly known as E. Coli) is a bacteria that can be found in the lower intestine and aids in digestion. However, some strains are known to cause harmful effects, such as diarrhea, kidney damage, vomiting, or death.
The disease-causing strain, E. coliO157:H7, contaminates food via manure, improperly cooked foods, contaminated water, poor hygiene (unclean hands), processing, or handling of foods. The slaughter process of animals (cattle, deer, sheep, pigs, turkeys, chickens, etc.) is one of the most common ways E. Coli may enter meats. E. Coli may also be transmitted person-to-person via improperly washed hands. Consumption of contaminated meats and produce will likely transmit the viral strain. Contaminated or improperly chlorinated water will also transmit E. Coli as well as drinking from the ocean, lakes, rivers, and streams.
- Symptoms include: Bloody diarrhea, stomach cramps, nausea, vomiting, bruising, fever, pale skin, passing small amounts of urine, and kidney failure (severe cases).
- Precautions: Buy fresh fruits and vegetables; do not purchase (or consume) produce that does not look fresh, is bruised, is rotted, or smells foul. Keep meats and produce separated at home. Clean fruits and vegetables. Properly wash hands. Cook (or order) meats well-done and do not eat under-cooked or raw meats. Drink purified water.
Generally, the infection is known to go away on its own, provided the patient stays hydrated. If the strain worsens, blood transfusions or dialysis may be needed.
Most patients infected with E. Coli are cured within a few days after diagnosis, provided they stay properly hydrated. In worst case scenarios, patients have developed anemia or kidney failure. This is not common.

Ambient Air Monitoring
Office Hours: Monday through Friday 8:30 am to 5:00 pm
Environmental Scientists are responsible for operating an extensive ambient air quality monitoring network in Wyandotte and Johnson Counties.
This program monitors the ambient levels of pollutants such as ozone (O3), carbon monoxide (CO), sulfur dioxide (SO2), nitrogen oxides (NOx) and particulate matter (PM). This program also operates a complex weather station. Federal health levels, or National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS), are set for each of six major pollutants. This program monitors these six pollutants to insure that their levels do not increase above the NAAQS. This group coordinates closely with the Mid America Regional Council and the other state and local agencies in the region to insure that good data is collected and reported.

How to liven up a bored Bulldog: scrotum tickling in the Crufts showring
If you thought that the spoof documentary about dog shows, "Best in Show", was a little exaggerated, think again. The reality of life in the upper echelons of showing pedigree dogs can be more bizarre than a film director could ever imagine.
A video taken at Crufts last weekend proves the point, but it needs a little explaining. A prize-winning Bulldog, according to the Kennel Club breed standard, ought to "convey an impression of determination, strength and activity". The problem is: how to make a bored Bulldog look like this?
The handlers in the show ring seem to have found a method, which as the video shows, has become almost universally popular: hold the dog's head steady by grasping his collar with your left hand, and with your right hand, gently tickle the base of his scrotum. This action with the right hand is guaranteed to make any dog stand still, while adopting an understandably "questioning" facial expression. Apparently this can boost his prize-winning chances.
Of course, there may be an alternative explanation for the strange behaviour of the dog handlers, and if so, could someone please let me know?

Guatemalan coffee is arguably the crown jewel of Central America. That doesn't not mean all Guatemalan coffees are good ... but it does means that the potential on the upside, the possibility of 88+ point coffees, is greater from regions in Guatemala than its neighboring countries. Great Guatemalan coffees have a bright cup character, floral hints, clean fruited notes, moderate body, and a lingering clean aftertaste. With varying qualities, farms ranging from huge estates to tiny small-holders perched on steep slopes, and different cup characteristics from within the same micro-regions, there is much to learn to appreciate the complexity of Guatemala coffee.
Guatemala Acatenango GeshaAcatenango Gesha has perfumed florals, jasmine and orange blossom, along with a clean, honeyed sweetness. The cooling cup is complex, with fresh tropical fruits, red punch, herbal and black tea flavors, and brilliant acidity. This coffee cups Gesha all the way, and makes for a stunning cup of coffee. City to City+ recommended. Learn More$21.60/lb

Guatemala Proyecto Xinabajul - Costanza y LopezThis microlot shows heft and elegance in the same cup. Rich caramel flavors pair nicely with slight florals and elegant acidity.

Smart Hot Weather Tip: Cool Wine with Frozen Grapes!
The Improvised Life
Do you like your wine chilled? White wine is a no-brainer, but I enjoy a slightly chilled glass of red as well. When the weather is hot and there's no time to pop a bottle in the refrigerator long enough to cool it down, what do you do? The folks over at The Improvised Life have the perfect solution!
Next time you're faced with a hot glass of red wine on a warm summer night, try throwing in a few frozen grapes. The chilled fruit won't dilute the wine or release much flavor. Perfect for these last days of summer!
Do you like slightly chilled red wine?

Brilliant! I was looking into getting some of those 'whiskey rocks' to keep my whites chilled without diluting, but they'd certainly work for reds, as well.
Great idea, in my absence of a dedicated wine fridge, I will def be trying this one!
Guides constantly trot out the old line that reds should be served at room temperature, disregarding that the 'room temperatures' in sunny Sydney (where I am) or the warmer parts of California are usually quite a few degrees higher than 'room temperature' in grey old Europe...
Drinking a nice red on a 32°C/90°F day is not the optimum experience!
Slightly pessimistic here, but if I can't remember to chill the wine, what makes you think I'll remember to freeze grapes?
Maybe you can just keep a bag of grapes in your freezer all of the time. Takes up a lot less space than a couple of bottles of wine in the fridge all of the time (especially since you'd probably want your red just slightly chilled).

Seth Stevenson, What Your Klout Score Really Means - Wired
I still want mine to go up. Oh, vanity. When will you learn?
— Stephen Marche, Is Facebook Making Us Lonely? - The Atlantic
Nick, I love you, but this sounds a tad disingenuous.
Yes, you supply all the content, but you get the social situation that the network enables. Sure, it'd be nice to get more. Heck, I'd love an extra $50 (and presumably a yearly payment based on however much the company makes in ads), but that's unrealistic to ask. Just as it would be unrealistic to ask for the cafe you mention in your article to give me a percent of their profit. Yeah, the food was good, but if a tech company is expected to give a customer more, why shouldn't one in the food industry?
Also, about that cafe, it actually does benefit from the "information" that its customers "provide." I put those words in quotes because the information isn't processed and provided in the same way as it is on social networks, but it is certainly part of the business. When I stroll past that cafe and see it filled with upper-middle class patrons, I identify the business, however unconsciously (and problematically), as one worthy of my expendable income. By frequenting that cafe, those patrons aren't just helping it by paying for food; they're also endowing it with their social capital. The only thing different with social networks is that people (mostly consciously) give those networks that same capital (usually through a much more explicit way), and the networks are intelligently designed to best take advantage of said capital.
Speaking of capital, let's pull this in a more Marxist direction, as I am worried about this ancillary point that Bilton raises: "Those without the skills needed in this new economy — other than to tweet and post pictures — can fall further behind economically." My gut says this is a more structural economic issue than one that can be solved with a simple attack on a singular company (or even type of company). But in spite of that, I'm not sure what a solution would be. Other than socialism, which as a capitalist, I'm not a big fan of.
Although I kind of agree with the conclusion (Tumblr is far cooler at this point), and I kind of like the now-that-it's-gone-public-it's-lame rationale, I completely disagree with some of its premises.
- "The generation which en masse hasn't created anything worth noting except for debts on their parents credits cards. Anything, but Facebook." This statement is two-fold ignorant. On the one hand, it pretends that Facebook isn't a bit of a revolutionary creation that helped alter the way we use the Internet—pushing it from the searchable web to the social web. And on the other, could you please tell me what generation actually achieved anything substantial en masse when its prime constituents were in their twenties? (And, ya know, Facebook itself is somewhat substantial, see above, which means the millennials are kinda kicking Gen X to the curb on this point.) By the author's own globalizing-based-solely-on-pop-culture-references logic, all Gen X ever did in their twenties was smoke pot and sing about conjunction junction.
- The article is riddled with instances of out-of-touch-ness (e.g., thinking that the only appropriate thing to wear to work is a suit and tie, referring to the "like" button as the "'I like' button," and if I want to really be nitpicky, calling millennials "Gen Y'ers"). I dunno, it's just weird to have someone so obviously not "with it," so not "cool" trying to weigh in on a topic on which he is clearly not an expert. (Editorial Note: I openly own up to my not-cool-ness, which is why I normally don't try to make statements on what is and isn't cool and why I find it so odd when people who are more or less in my position cool-wise for some reason do.)
Mary H. K. Choi, "The Art of Sidling" - Wired
Yup, this is just a "Thing People Do" now.
Patrick Moorhead, Mashable: Why Social Media Needs to Get More Personal
I like this analogy, but the rest of the article seems underdeveloped. Don't social media inherently enable an approximation of "real life" reality? Isn't the burden to make it more personal on the user, not the platform? Aren't the tools suggested already available on certain social media platforms (namely, Facebook)? Plus, I take issue with the notion that text messages and emails are something completely separate from the social media sphere, when both Twitter and Facebook offer versions of those. (No, I'm not suggesting that text messaging is social media, per se, but based on our ever-more nebulous definition of the term as a result of new features, text messaging is no longer a separate field.)
The Year in Social Media
Appropriately timed, our director Lee Rainie and New York Times staff writer Jennifer Preston discussed how social media has transformed over the year (on Minnesota Public Radio). Listen to the full discussion here.
Have you had a personal transformation because of social media over the last year? Do you use it as your main source of news gathering or perhaps to assess news? Or do you feel like you are living in an echo chamber?
Yes to both, of course. It's my main method of accessing news, AND it's a total echo chamber. It's a somewhat problematic conflation.

A Florida sixth-grader helped Hialeah (Fla.) Police officers arrest two home invaders, who entered the home while 12-year-old Cynthia Valdes was at home alone.
With her mom at work and dad on an errand to buy food, Cynthia heard the invaders bang on the home and dialed 911, reports the Miami Herald.
The 12-year-old hid in her bedroom closet and told the emergency dispatcher everything she could until SWAT and K-9 officers arrived to surround the residence and confront the suspects.

Exhibitions Committee Meeting Minutes Tuesday, April 10, 2012 3:00pm
Present: Lonnie Clark, Chris Johns (chair), Pat Miller and Jody Waitzman
Communications glitch and resolve: The technical problem with Pat's email has been resolved for the most part, and the email@example.com email group was created to avoid any issues with any individual emails in the future. The potential entrants received were contacted by Pat, received our apologies, and were gracious and understanding about not receiving a response from us prior to the contest deadline.
Scheduling GA exhibits: Both September and October are open in the Marshall Gallery. Pat will contact the winners about scheduling during these 2 months if possible.
Award payment status: Carole Kopp has processed payments and these should be received by the winners as an addition to their usual University paychecks soon if not already.
Zack Grant June & August Marshall Gallery: Chris will work with Zack on these two months of exhibit showcasing the Sustainable Student Farm and market on the Quad.
Marten Stromberg September exhibit: Jody contacted Marten. He will be using the North-South Corridor for the Soybean Press exhibit, leaving the Marshall open for one of the GA exhibits.
June NS Corridor: Lonnie Clark will develop and install an exhibit showcasing Library books, archives, placing UI alumni and other materials about the Summer Olympics in either June or August (depending upon the dates of the 2012 London Olympics). Details to come later. Post meeting note: the Games of the XXX Olympiad, are scheduled to take place in London 27 July to 12 August 2012.
August NS Corridor: See June.
Brainstorm and delegate contacting: Chris agreed to send out a Libnews soliciting exhibits during (and listing) the vacant times between now and January 2013.
These are wonderfully crafted, classy and appropriate for our exhibit space. The committee asked Jody to make more of them, keeping the option of placing on any side.
A question about whether it was possible to email out from firstname.lastname@example.com came up because it might be useful when sending out items on behalf of the committee. We agreed to look into this. (Post meeting note from Chris after checking with Library IT: Yes, this can be done however it requires establishing and paying for another Lync/Exchange account through CITES. Given our minimal potential use, this is not a good use of resources.)
We discussed the usefulness of creating a 1-page document with a bulleted list of guidelines that we could send to any exhibitor so they don't need to forage through our website for the information we want them to have. Chris agreed to draft this and send to the committee for a round-robin edit before the next meeting.

Now comes another review.
First, there was the Licensure Examination for Teachers review. Then, the University Multi-Purpose Cooperative introduced the Civil Service Exam review this year.
Now is the time for PNU to launch another review offer to public school aspirants for career post as principal. The National Qualifying Examination for School Heads (NQESH) is given every year by the National Educators Academy of the Philippines, a Department of Education agency. This years NQESH is slated on November 11, 2011.
The test is open to applicants who have at least a five-year aggregate experience as Head Teachers, Teachers-in-Charge, Master Teachers and/or Teacher III in the DepEd all over the country.
The PNU review invites interested teachers especially those from the National Capital Region, Central Luzon, and Southern Tagalog. The PNU lecturers are composed mainly of retired regional directors and superintendents.
The review classes will cost the applicant P4,000 and will run on October 20-23, 2012 to be held at PNU Manila. The review program will cover eight areas: school leadership, school management and daily operations, professional development and human resource management, instructional leadership, student-centered learning climate, personal integrity and interpersonal effectiveness, parents involvement and community partnership, and communication skills.
According to Business Development Officer Dr. Diony V. Varela, there are about 3,000 to 5,000 teachers who take the annual test. Holding review classes for them, he stressed, goes in consonance with PNUs mandate as the National Center for Teacher Education.
(Interested parties may call telephone numbers 405-0066 / 3439732 or mobile phones 09051545310 or 09228075842for more details.)

Get inside the 'Fritter minds with their latest reel. Principals Adam Pitman, Adam Stilwell and David Blair alongside teammates Nathaniel Peterson and Jonna Bell tell you what we're all about here at BadFritter Films. Featuring clips from our films Paper Dolls and Roulette, the video ends with a super sneak peak at an exciter teaser for the upcoming remake of the 'Fritters haunting cult favorite Roulette.
Tomorrow, March 28 at 8pm Paper Dolls will be screening at the Deren Theatre in Manhattan!
Come see the film talked about in David Coleman's new book "The Bigfoot Filmography"! (Get it on Amazon now! www.amazon.com/Bigfoot-Filmography-Documentary-Appearances-Television/dp/0786448288) "…its the overall vision of Paper Dolls as a complicated jigsaw puzzle that makes it so unique in the canon of Bigfoot films—and all the more puzzling that it has received such scant recognition and/or distribution…"—David Coleman
Don't be a part of the "scant recognition" and come see Paper Dolls tomorrow night!
The BadFritters are taking New York in little more than two week's time as "Paper Dolls" gets its Big Apple premiere! This is as much an opportunity for us as it is an honor and a few of us will be making the trip to the east coast to ensure BFF is properly represented! "Paper Dolls" will be screening Wednesday, March 28th in the Deren Theatre (32 Second Avenue [at 2nd street] New York, NY 10003).
The film begins at 8:00 p.m. For more information visit www.newfilmmakers.com See you there!
On the eve of the most recent BadFritter convergence, one that will find us in Whitefish, MT. to meet with (and excite!) our future Executive Producers, I presently find myself sitting in Adams' Stilwell and Cotton's living room in Alhambra, CA. drinking a beer, and gathering last-minute information needed for the Investor's Packets. In Seattle, WA. Jonna Bell is finishing the final touches on reformatting the packets, stream-lining the content and making everything uniform and ready to deliver. Angela Millhone is on her way to deliver our new business cards and to make some last-minute tweaks on the budgets (and, I'm sure, to enjoy a vodka soda or two later!) Stilwell and Cotton, having just wrapped a successful band practice, are sitting here with me relaxing and musing on the Clippers' performance in tonight's game (for more insight on their fanboy affinity, go to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p2WxPJB5Lto). In a matter of hours, Stilwell and I will be boarding a plane bound for Missoula, MT. where we will connect with Nathaniel Peterson and Adam Pitman. Monday morning will find us driving to Whitefish to commence our week of meetings, team building, spit-balling, and doing our damnedest to secure funding for our 2-film venture in 2012.
Only two weeks in and 2012 is already looking like the Year of the Fritter. The Film Team (Adams Stilwell, Pitman, and Cotton, David Blair, Angela Milhone, Nathaniel Peterson, Jonna Bell, Greg Mannino) have been super busy putting together the all-important Investor's Packets to deliver to hopeful Executive Producers for not one, but TWO films, both to be shot in 2012. In February, there will be a Fritter convergence in Whitefish, MT. to deliver these packets and to drum up enthusiasm and support.
"AWESOME!" I yelled after ending the phone call informing me that I had been hired as Production Designer for Paper Dolls. There wasn't much offered salary wise nor would the budget allow me to hire any art department crew but I was so excited by the script I would have agreed to do it for Craft Service alone. It was one of the best I had read in LA, certainly the best one I had ever been considered for. What it called for in creativity would give me the chance to further spread my wings as a production designer on film. Moreover we were to shoot in Montana, which was a chance to go somewhere I had never been nor knew anything about yet again, and since travel is my favourite form of education it was all too good to be true. It proved to be all that and more…
I knew no one on the crew except for one person I had shot a short with years before and who had gotten me my interview. Other than him, all were strangers and there we all were in the wilderness in the northern Montana Mountains to make art - incredible! Needless to say - but I will anyway - the challenges that arise on every film shoot were coupled with others they paled in comparison to and took us from inspired ingenuity to downright vandalism. In addition they took me from buying nightstands and fluffing flowers one day to stabbing a chainsaw into huge blocks of styrene the next as I careened scene to scene as I was called to stage a suburban kitchen one moment to the bone filled den of a Sasquatch at another; from making caves in a garage to being elbow deep in cow carcasses on the side of the highway at midnight.
Without an assistant full time I was kept jumping. Remembering it now, including the all day drive for what felt like a clandestine meeting at some gas station in a town of two buildings to pick up a small stash of weapons from our explosives engineer, it seems as though I was on some deranged steeple chase/scavenger hunt/decathlon. It was all a total blast that I remember with more than fondness and a lot of laughter. Still one of the best work experiences of my life that yielded a film of which I am extremely proud and feel lucky to have been a part of creating.
This coming Saturday night, we'll be celebrating a little horror film we made back in '06 called Paper Dolls. For the first time ever, it will be available to stream LIVE here at www.badfritterfilms.com. Until now, the only way to see this elusive film was during its successful run on the festival circuit in '08 and '09, or if you happened to know the filmmakers, of course (but chances of getting a copy from us were slim as every one that landed in our hands was quickly eaten by our mailboxes and on its way to possible distributors or sales agents). So now, nearly 5 years after its completion, Paper Dolls is finally getting the life it deserves: a world-wide audience.
While of our 3 films Paper Dolls has seen the widest audience, it still remains relatively obscure in the world of independent horror films. A distribution deal has evaded us, and self-distribution, while a viable option and still on the table, takes more money, money we don't presently have. I remember thinking, due to how fast everything moved after Roulette that Paper Dolls was just the next small step on the fast-track to my inevitable (and greatly wished for) career in the film industry. But after the reality of how "the biz" actually works set in and us without a distribution deal and nobody shoving money in our pockets to make our next big one, disillusionment pried my eyes open and cast a shadow across my destiny. I was proud, of course, to be the co-writer and co-director of a multiple-award winning film, but for me, getting Paper Dolls to a global audience (and—not gonna lie—reaping a little financial reward) was the ultimate goal then. That was the sign of success; if Paper Dolls never found distribution and didn't immediately lead to our next project, we failed.
This didn't stop us from making more movies. In '09 we shot several pieces pertaining to our horror epic The Madness, and in 2010 shot Cliff Lake. Of course, these were made on something smaller than a micro-budget, but were nonetheless legitimate projects that sharpened our storytelling and filmmaking skills. The point is that we kept working. We didn't let the fact that Paper Dolls' progress seemed inert stop us, nor did we give up hope that it would eventually get picked up by some company for distribution and find a new life. I'd be lying, though, if I said I didn't think (and, on darker days, still DO think) Paper Dolls might never be given the life we expected it to have. But how often do our expectations ever really match our reality?
I am excited and proud to be given the opportunity to finally share Paper Dolls on this scale. For three days, it will be available to everyone. All those emails from curious horror film fans, all those messages requesting the film, all the questions asking if Paper Dolls was just a practical joke, this event is for those people. On behalf of my BadFritter band mates, we truly hope you enjoy what you see and that the wait was well worth it. Thank you for hanging on and keeping curious. It is your breath giving life back to our little horror film.
Thank you.

Tampa Bay Rays principal owner Stuart Sternberg says baseball cannot survive long-term in downtown St. Petersburg, and all sites throughout the region must be considered for a new ballpark.
The team is a regional asset, he said, and it belongs to all of the fans and businesses throughout the region. That is why the team will actively begin looking for a new place to play ball.
"We need to be in a location that is convenient for our fans to reach," Sternberg said. "We need to be in a place that makes us attractive to the region's business and community."
Sternberg said the team will consider any potential ballpark site in Tampa Bay, including Hillsborough or any other county in the area, but a new stadium is needed in order for the Rays to survive and thrive in this region.
The Rays' owner met with St. Petersburg mayor Bill Foster earlier Monday, and said that he told the mayor that the city must "rise above municipal boundaries and work together with a common interest" order for baseball to do well in the region.
Sternberg says the entire Tampa Bay community needs to be brought into discussions about a new ballpark for the Rays, and a decision about where a new ballpark will be built cannot be made "until those discussions begin in earnest," he said, and added that the Rays organization is ready to engage in those discussions.
"We need creative, cooperative leadership for baseball to succeed here," Sternberg said. "We need to know that we have the support of civic and business leaders across the region. We need to stop talking about why things can't happen. We can make them happen together."
The ABC coalition was formed two years ago to study potential stadium sites in Pinellas and Hillsborough, and recently made the conclusion that baseball's survival in the area is based on finding an optimal site in the region that will best insure the team's success. During his news conference, Sternberg thanked the coalition for their hard work.
When Sternberg became principal owner of the team several years ago, while they were still the Tampa Bay Devil Rays, he said he spoke to many people who said that a winning team would bring fans out to the ballpark.
"Clearly, that has not been the case," Sternberg said, though he believes it is not for a lack of interest in the team. He cited the Rays as being among the most affordable teams in professional sports, in terms of ticket prices and other factors, and mentioned their significant growth in TV ratings as well as their high standing in the community.
The Rays won their division -- one of, if not the, toughest in all of baseball -- in 2008 and went on to win the American League Championship before losing to the Philadelphia Phillies in the World Series. They were also a contending team for much of the 2009 season have been in first place for most of 2010, yet their attendance has remained among the lowest in the league and no significant jump in year-to-year numbers has been seen.
Sternberg reiterated that the Rays will not be playing in Tropicana Field when their current lease expires in 2027, but that the team wants to remain in Tampa Bay.

Funny People (2009)
Alternate title: Untitled Judd Apatow/Adam Sandler Comedy
The most popular movies among NYTimes.com readers.
60 Readers' Reviews
July 29th, 201112:47 pm
Not funny. Not deep. We watched it on video, and aside from the laughter of the teens in the room that were shocked by the language - which was stunningly gruesomely graphic, no one laughed for the entire movie. Not once. It just goes on and on and on... Dreadful. Just dreadful. Avoid!

Overly long, indulgent disaster. Should have been edited to about 90 min. Shallow movie, the type you might expect to be written by a teenager with little life experience and found funny by teenagers with little life experience. If a writer's work is a reflection of the worldview of the author, then Apatow swims in shallow waters. One of the worst movies I've seen. On the bright side odds are it will be a long time before I see another movie this bad.

I got hooked on Judd Aptow early on(Freaks and Geeks)and I 've had to pay dearly for that affection ever since! Adam sandler is another story entirely, his early works vassilate wildly for poor to what were you thinking. With his early SNL success he seemed to many as a can't miss and had he stayed in the land of stand-up. His film career has driven me from the theater. Why he ever decided to re-make the fantastic Burt reynolds vehicle "The Longest Yard" I'll never know, what was unforgiveable was his portrayal of a football jock/womanizer. Burt was a football star/womanizer(keep it real) Sandler looked like a very short over-weight CPA his lack of acting ability just hurt. This seemed to become the trend over his next several films like he was trying to convince himself that like Hemmingway if he said it enough we and he would start to believe it.

This is the only movie I have ever walked out of (the unanimous decision to exit was made by me and two others) and it is by far the worst movie I have ever seen. I have been amazed by the good reviews of some respected reviewers and find myself wondering if they really sat through the whole thing.

"Funny People" is two mismatched movies trying to be one. The "two long lost lovers reuniting who haven't got a clue what the other's life is about now" movie is cobbled onto the "star who seems to have everything but actually has nothing because he has no human connection" movie; the result is distinctly overlong and ultimately unsatisfying. That said, Sandler gives a solid performance - not up to my favorite work of his ("Punchdrunk Love" and "50 First Dates") - but worth attention; Rogen is OK, Hill is better; Leslie Mann and Eric Bana belong in another movie entirely ("Crocodile Dundee's Family Goes To Esalen", maybe). Apatow had the makings of an excellent movie here, but somewhere along the line control was simply given up, and it finally sputters to an unearned feel-good ending. Oh - and most of the comedy scenes just weren't that funny, except for the ones where Sandler is violating his audience's expectations by going "dark".

Judd Apatow brings us a dramedy that is intelligent, mature, and serious. It is imperfect. But it is a welcome addition to his body of work. The basic premise about a comedic and movie star dealing with a terminal illness is facile in hindsight (the cure itself is preposterous); nevertheless, the plot is mature and handled with care. In the end, for what it is, it runs a bit too long. And the indulgence on penis jokes is overly crass and thin in humor. Janusz Kaminski provides fine cinematography. Apatow's repertory company - Leslie Mann, Seth Rogen, Jonah Hill - is excellent. Especially excellent are Apatow/Mann's daughters/little actresses. Eric Bana is extraordinary as the cad husband, even almost making his ridiculous speech about karma believable. But it is Adam Sandler who is the film's star and the one who maintains our interest. By and large, he does his job well. He does an appropriate layered, disaffected Jack Nicholson mumble truth throughout the illness. However, there is one crucial characteristic missing: the passion and complexity of a man trying to rectify a lost love after a near death experience. Yes, Sandler's character is flawed, disaffected and not really knowing it. First, the screenplay does not explain his disaffection. But, most importantly, the script nor the performance make sense of his intense pursuit of his lost love while showing nary any passion.

Perhaps; it all depends on where you see Adam Sandler in the spectrum of comics. The trouble with this movie is that in addition to Sandler (playing Sandler), you get the 3-horse-parlay of Seth Rogen, Jason Schwatzman, AND Jonah Hill, the unholy trio of really-bad new-millenium whiney-comics. Individually, these folk are just annoying; taken together, they are unbearable. In combo with Sandler, your new plasma is at risk of hurled objects. Avoid this one at all costs.

"Funny People" is a bit sloppy and poorly edited, but it is also brilliant. I cannot believe how it has been trashed by critics and audiences. Every time American comedians venture into dark, more dramatic territory, they are crucified by Americans. (Jim Carrey can say a lot about this.) Adam Sandler gives a pitch-black, Oscar-caliber performance in what is one of the most under-rated mainstream movies of 2009. Bravo, Judd Apatow and Adam Sandler, for having the guts to push beyond ordinary comedy. The American mainstream might catch up to your work in 10 years. Don't lose faith.

Awful. Unbearably smug and indulgent and juvenile. Wretched acting, sophomoric script, tedious direction.
— Robert, Los Angeles
October 9th, 20097:15 am
You know that feeling when your butt starts going num from the movie theater seats. Well Funny People was definatly a butt hurting movie. After 2 hours I could not focus on the movie I was more conserned whether or not I would be able to walk after the movie was over.
I agree with MANOHLA DARGIS that the story line was quite original. I think if anything the director Jude Apatow is very cleavor in his choice of script. I think the smaller jokes were the funniest jokes.
Adam Sandler plays the main character George. Adam Sandler is really truly one of my favorite actors. I really love his acting and everything one of his past films. In the film however, I do not want to say he is a disappointment, but the movie is more enjoyable possibly in your living room.
MANOHLA DARGIS made a smart move by marrying his comedic wife, Leslie Mann. Leslie Man plays Laura who is a flirty, giggily girl with hilarious comedic timing. Her character definatly made an impact on me as I left the theater. Although in the film she was married that did not stop her from getting involved with main character George, played by Adam Sandler
One scene which I thought was quite hilarious was when George (Adam Sandler), was conversing with Laura's husband. The circles around the front lawn became funnier and funnier as the scene went on.
Please do not bother paying ten dollars at a theater for this movie. Wait for the film to come out on DVD and enjoy your three hour movie on a comfortable couch!

Saw this at a third-run movie house. The lesson I learned--sometimes even a $2 admission price can feel like a rip-off. This was easily one of the most tedious, self-indulgent, and pointless exercises in filmmaking I have ever endured.

"funny people" is a comedy that defies most moviegoers expectations. therefore, it will irritate a lot of people (note some of the comments here), but for those who like a movie that doesn't follow usual hollywood formulas and will make you laugh your ass off--go see it. it's a "risky" movie by today's standards where only "transformers 2" and the like put up big money numbers. why? because it's a movie with a soul, with an artistic (not simply commercial) appeal. ultimately, the film expresses an appreciation for the benefit of laughter, whether it's sparked by" adolescent" humor or "profound" sensibility. you won't see characters that are so cool, clever, and beautiful that you wish you were like them, you'll see characters that are more like real people with real concerns and real humility, and because of this, watching them is really funny.

Boring, Vulgar, Poor Taste, Poor Acting, Hardly a Laugh, AVOID THIS MOVIE !!!
— Diane, Victor
August 16th, 200911:04 am
In reading Ms. Dargis review, or that of others NYT readers, I cannot help but ask if anyone understands this film; to me, Judd Apatow knows, as do we....that the like of Adam Sandler (his ex-roomie) and several others have become somewhat wealthy while making films that could be loved by only young kids or those with low I.Q.'s. This is a parody on those oft humorless comedians and what would craft them into idyllic empty lives, devoid of human contact. This is Sandler's finest work (possibly excepting the Jim Brooks helmed "Spanglish") and his willingess to thus play himself is worth watching but could easily be twenty minutes shorter. Roger is marvelous as the hapless companion and Ms. Apatow the "funnest" character in her "how can I satisfy my needs"
role. But for a thinking public only. Tadeo/Omaha

August 10th, 200910:56 am
Undeniably one of the top three worst movies I have ever wasted money on. Utterly self indulgent self absorbed with an overbearing sense of self importance and meaning where none exists. Does Apatow know the meaning of the word "edit?"

Apatow is margianal at best and his first two films were a moralistic turn off lecture. Rogen just isn't funny. Adam can be great in such interesting films like Punch Drunk Love and Reign On Me. However, even Bana's good looks and acting -very unrated from Munich-can't save this forced film. Heartsrtings shoulheave been playing the harp in background...

The movie got out of the blocks with a good set-up and some nice interplay between Rogen and Sandler, but especially among Rogen, Hill, and Schwartzman. Sure, a few too many penis jokes, but (a) this is an Apatow movie and (b) since when do we expect to expect Hollywood comedies to graduate from 8th grade? (I decided, if I ever wanted to become a screenwriter, I'd just travel down the street to Marsh Junior High and start recording the dialogue.)
Once the action moved to Marin County, it bogged down and became painfully unfunny. (Being a Northern Californian myself, I don't think this was entirely necessary.) George could have resolved that he couldn't have Laura without all the family roadkill and flabby (or should I say flaccid?) scenes in Sausalito.
In the end, Hollywood generally still makes morality plays, where the original movie world is restored and we leave feeling good. "Funny People" is no different. I bought the final bit where George and Ira are penciling out jokes on napkins at a table in the mall's food court. That seemed to be essence of being funny people--seeking that next joke for that next laugh.

"Funny People" is a movie well worth seeing but go in with an open mind. Adam Sandler attempts to portray a high profile comedian who is possibly dying of a rare and often fatal blood disorder. I say "attempts" because the role requires more of Sandler than he is able to give ...He's not bad, he's just not good. Seth Rogen is excellent in a less demanding role as are Judd Apatow's other ensemble characters...
Some reviewer will tell you it's not a funny movie but rather a movie about funny people,aka comedians ...this it does well in that they are portrayed as insecure, narcissistic, self absorbed ...I could go on but you get the picture (no pun intended). Eric Bana is wasted in a small role as the spouse of Adam Sandler's long lost love. He's a real jerk with an over the top Australian accent (I know he's Australian but he lays it on thick for the benefit of the Yanks in the audience.) While he's a jerk, he's less of a jerk than Adam Sandler... at the conclusion this is made clear as their mutual love interest picks Bana over Sandler... she clearly realizes that the jerk you know is better than the jerk you don't know...
While some may view my comments as harsh, this is a form of popular entertainment, no more, no less. I hope it does well comercially so Judd Apatow will get more opportunities to make interesting films...

It escapes me how Ms. Dargis cannot accept this movie as anything other than a comedy. "Funny People" is an unconventional movie that blurs the line between drama and comedy. In other words, it's more like real life. Does the reviewer think Judd Apatow doesn't know comedy? The same man who directed "The 40 Year Old Virgin" and "Knocked Up"? He is familiar with the comedic rhythm of a film, and "Funny People" is a clear, concerted step in a different direction.
We have heard the cliché in drama a million times before: a broken man seeks to rekindle love, but the situation seems hopeless as the woman has moved on. But, this is where the movie takes a turn. Apatow takes this experience and turns it into a very realistic "What if?" scenario that must go through many married peoples' minds.
The film captures those moments we all experience at one point or another-- those moments we either forget or can't explain. Thanks to Mr. Apatow all we have to do is put on one of his movies to relate completely. It's a movie about the human experience, and sometimes it's funny, sometimes it's deadly serious, sometimes it's incredibly embarrassing, and Judd Apatow captures it all on film.
I imagined him reading this review and not being too offended by it, because as a director, especially with his insight to the human mind-- he knows exactly what he made.

I cannot understand what the one star naysayers are on about. I didn't expect art, knew that the Times thought it bloated, and went along to cool off from the heat.
The movie was full of great laughs. I especially enjoyed seeing all of the comedians riffing with each other. Beneath the stupid story line (what Hollywood comedy has a fascinating story line?) there was an interesting view into the lives of people who love bits and gags. My wife and I enjoyed it, were diverted, and while I wouldn't see it a second time, once was satisfying.
Lighten up America.

It seems that everyone was expecting the movie within the movie in which Adam Sandler stars as a baby. "Funny People" is more sophisticated, intelligent, and funny.
— Sam, Texas
August 3rd, 20098:45 pm
"Dumb and Dumber" was funnier, as were many others. Adam Sandler does an excellent job playing a famous movie star/comedian with a fatal illness and a near fatal attraction to Leslie Mann, aka Mrs. Apatow, and the long lost love of Sandler's movie life. There is nothing confusing about the plot except why a studio ever approved making into a movie.
Of course there is humor, but there is too much that is not funny. And way too many "jokes" that refer to sex, penises, and such. Boring. Too many that are just not good jokes.
My guess, or maybe just a hope, is that there will be no "Funny People, Too."

Windows 7 Professional wakes up immediately after putting to sleep
Hey guys. This is my first post here, so Hello. Before you turn away and refer me to the other threads on the same problem, I'd like to tell you that I've checked out every thread, forum and discussion on the topic all over the internet, and no solutions worked for me.
I'm using an Asus K53E laptop (details given below), and I've been using it for a year. Two weeks ago, I reinstalled windows OS, and even then everything was fine. For the last three or four days, however, there's been a problem.
1. When the computer goes to sleep automatically (due to power management settings) it wakes up immediately after that, and then it doesn't go back to sleep on its own.
2. If I put the computer to sleep, it wakes up in the same way, but after it wakes up once if I press sleep again, it works fine. If I wake it up and try putting it to sleep after about 15 minutes, it wakes up immediately again.
Every time, when it wakes up on its own, it does not turn on the screen. It only lights up if I touch the touchpad, and it's on the log in screen.
I've tried all powercfg commands: S3 sleep is activated, devicequery returns no results, last wake says wake source is 0. I've checked power management and sleeping while media sharing is allowed. I've checked device settings and network adapter is not allowed to wake up computer.
Just as a last resort I reinstalled my OS again, because since the last year nothing had gone wrong with it. Right now I only have mozilla firefox installed, and this problem persists even without it, so I'm quite sure it's not a software issue.
Can ANYONE help me with this? This is not a life changer, but it's a habit and having to change that would be really, really annoying. Please let me know as soon as possible.
I'm uploading a screenshot of my powercfg results.
My system:
Windows 7 Professional 64 bit
Intel Core i5 230 GHz
4 gb of RAM
|My System Specs
|11 Aug 2012
win7 ultimate 32bit
try setting the power settings to 'high performance' set 'turn off display to NEVER and 'put the computer to sleep' to NEVER
check the advanced settings and try setting the following (remember this is just a test-it's my experience that the high performance setting resolves most sleep issues and is most consistent)
1.require password--NO
2.Hard disk-turn off hard disk-NEVER
3. sleep--sleep after-NEVER
4. hibernate after-NEVER
5.allow wake timers-DISABLE
6. power buttons and lid-power button action-SHUT DOWN--sleep button action-SLEEP (some laptops by default sleep when lid is closed)
7.PCI Express-link state power management-OFF
8. Display-turn off display after-NEVER
finally--change your screen saver setting to NONE
test to see if it functions as you desire--tweak settings one at a time and test after each tweak
here are my powercfg results

|12 Aug 2012
Thanks man, but I think I found a fix. I had tried all those you suggested before, and they didn't work. But I thought of going through all my drivers once more just in case, and realised the Realtek HD audio manager wasn't properly installed. I reinstalled it and voila! It's fixed

10 cold stunned turtles released in Collier County
Date: January 22, 2010
by: Robin Hartill | Community Editor
Anna Maria Island Turtle Watch volunteers and Collier County Natural Resources Department officials released 10 cold-stunned green sea turtles Thursday that had been treated at Mote Marine Laboratory's Sea Turtle Rehabilitation Hospital. The Mote turtles were released alongside six turtles that were treated at the Clinic for Rehabilitation of Wildlife Inc., on Sanibel Island.
Most of the 10 Mote turtles stranded in Sarasota and Manatee counties. Ideally, turtles are released in the same general area in which they stranded, but Collier County was the closest location in which water temperatures were warm enough for the turtles. Because turtle rehabilitation facilities are over capacity, state officials allowed the release.
Since the week of Jan. 4, Mote has treated 44 sea turtles — the largest group of sea turtles the facility has ever treated in such a short time frame. Mote's Sea Turtle Rehabilitation Hospital continues to run over capacity with 19 turtles.

DrinkBox Studios is working on a Mexican-themed co-op-multiplayer dimension-swapping Metroid-vania beat-em-up platformer "Guacamelee!" will be released via the SCEA "Pub Fund" program on PlayStation Network.
The game draws its inspiration from traditional Mexican culture and folklore, and features many interesting and unique characters. Guacamelee builds upon the classic open-world Metroid-vania style of games, by adding a strong melee combat component, a new dimension switching mechanic, and cooperative same-screen multiplayer for the entire story. The game also blurs the boundaries between combat and platforming by making many of the moves useful and necessary for both of these.
The game features a down on his luck Mexican named Juan Aguacate, who sets out to save the world when El Presidente's Daughter is kidnapped by an Evil Charro Skeleton. The story takes place in and around a small village in Mexico, and has the player travelling through alternate dimensions including "The World of the Dead" and "The World of Nightmares" on his quest to rescue the girl he loves.
