Toy Story is Back!
Woody and the gang are back for the third movie in the fun-loving animated series -- and momlogic sat down with director Lee Unkrich to get behind-the-scenes dish.
Jeanne Sager: It's been 15 years since the first "Toy Story" movie made history as Disney's first feature-length film created entirely with computer-generated imagery. Now many of the kids who cuddled Woody dolls and Buzz action figures at night are pulling those toys out of the closet to share with their kids, because "Toy Story 3" will be blasting into theaters on June 18. It's Disney's first 3D digital feature.
Momlogic wanted to know if "Toy Story" has grown up, too. So we sat down with Lee Unkrich, the father of three (his kids are 12, 10, and 5) who took the director's chair for the third installment. After all, Unkrich is the man who inspired John Lasseter, chief creative officer of Walt Disney and Pixar Animation Studios, to say, "There's nobody else I would trust 'Toy Story' to."
momlogic: You didn't have any children when you made the first movie. How was it different being a dad and making "Toy Story 3"?
Lee Unkrich: Wow. I don't know if I've ever thought about it that way. It's of course been really cool being a part of Pixar and having kids. To my kids, I've got the coolest job in the world. They love that I bring home toys all the time -- especially now that all these toys are coming out from different toy companies. They've been seeing me make "Toy Story 3" for the last four years, and they've been sworn to secrecy. But they know the story; they've seen it as we worked on it. So it's very exciting for them to start to see the actual toys that they've only seen as storyboard drawings and rough animation.
ml: How does this story touch you?
LU: I think to tell a really good story you have to have experience on some level of that story. "Toy Story 3" in many ways is about change. These toys are grappling with the fact that Andy is growing up, that he's moving on with his life. And Andy himself is grappling with being at that cusp between childhood and adulthood. And Andy's mom is dealing with the emotions of him going away to college. So everybody's dealing with this idea of change and how to grapple with it. I think for all of us, having kids of our own and just living life, you learn things watching your kids grow. My kids haven't gone off to college yet, but several of John [Lasseter's] kids have gone off to college. So he's gone through that experience, and I've witnessed him going through that experience.
ml: Do you have any favorite characters?
LU: I don't think so. People often ask us who our favorite characters are, and we say that's like asking us, "Who's your favorite kid? Do you like your daughter better, or your son?" I like them all in their own way; they're each so unique. And beyond just the characters, we've gotten to be friends with all the actors who play these characters. It's like a family. When you work on a movie for four years, you have to really love it. Otherwise, you know ... what a drag. I would never want to come in to work every day to work on a movie I didn't believe in or characters I didn't like. I like these guys. I know them so well that no matter what situation we cook up for them, I know how they're going to react. I won't say the movie writes itself, but in many ways the fact that we know these characters so well really informs how each character should behave.
ml: A lot of the toys in the movie are toys that were available when we were kids. Did you have any of them?
LU: Potato Head. I'm sure I had a Mr. Potato Head when I was a kid! We put some other toys into this movie, some of which we haven't announced yet, that I had when I was a kid. That was exciting for me, to get some of my own unique personal things in there.
ml: Ken appears in "Toy Story 3." You've said you really loved this certain Ken doll from the '80s. Why?
LU: We knew pretty early on that we wanted Ken to be in the movie. We thought that was just so ripe with comic entertainment potential. We didn't know what we were going to do with him, but we knew he had to be in the movie. So at a certain point we had to decide what he wanted to look like. There were so many different looks of Ken over the years that I had to settle on one. Thank God for the Internet. There's a guy who runs a site just completely devoted to Ken that shows every Ken doll and every outfit for decades! I just pored through them, and there was this particular one from the '80s called Animal Lovin' Ken -- who came in a little safari outfit.
ml: With the ascot?
LU: Yes, with the ascot. It's what he's wearing when you first see him in the movie. That Ken and that outfit was [based on] an actual Ken, so I recommend that people snatch them up from eBay while they can -- although we've been buying a lot of them. I just found him really funny. I thought his molded plastic hair was really funny, his washboard abs. It's just like everything about him is funny to me. We were happy that Mattel was okay with us going with that. At first they wanted us to use whatever their current Ken was. And we said no, we know that it's going to be funny this way.
ml: Were you worried about the fact that it's been 11 years since "Toy Story 2," and 15 years since the first "Toy Story"?
LU: I don't know that we were ever worried. The thing that surprised us that we weren't quite expecting is that now that the hype is building for the movie, there's a huge segment of the audience who were kids when "Toy Story" and "Toy Story 2" came out. And for them, there's this enormous nostalgia. They're excited to sort of touch base with their childhoods again. A lot of them are at that cusp of going into college or just leaving college, and some of them are even having their first kids. So there again we're tapping into that theme of change, that life's journey. I think we've got everyone on this one. The characters have never gone away for the kids.

It's a little weird! I haven't seen night time for at least a month now. We're all sleeping okay, though. We just have to remind ourselves to go to bed. It'll be full light out and we'll realize that it's 11pm and we're not in bed yet.
How weird, I don't know if I could deal with that.
So I confess still no af... my SIL just had a baby girl and I'm kinda envious... but now is not the right time.
I confess that I was pissed at Dh earlier for how he was dealing with Aidan but he redeemed himself my taking Aidan for a bike ride.
I confess that Aidan's teacher totally made me cry at the graduation today.
A Jew, A Catholic, and an atheist are rowing in Lake Erie when their boat springs a huge leak. The Jew looks skyward, and says "Oh, Adonai, if you save me, I promise I'll sail to Israel and spend the rest of my days trying to reclaim the land you gave us." The Catholic looks skyward, and says, "Oh, Jesus, if you save me, I promise I'll fly to the Vatican and spend the rest of my days singing your praises." The atheist says, "Oh, guys, if you pass me that one life preserver, I promise I'll swim to Cleveland." "And how will you spend the rest of your days?" the Jew and the Catholic ask. "Well," says the atheist, "I'm not sure, but I can tell you one thing: I'll never go rowing with other atheists."
I love my mother tremendously, but I confess something she just said to me made me want to reach through the phone and slap her.
We're going home for a visit next weekend (5 hr drive away) and I made a comment about hoping Liam would do OK sleeping in the PNP she bought. We had issues with the last daycare and suspect he was left in the PNP for long periods. Coupled with the separation anxiety period he's currently in, if we try to put him in the PNP at home he screams hysterically. We even turned it into a ball pit, thinking if we made it fun it might help.
At night he sleeps in a side car crib, but for visits home Tredhed and I will be scrunched on a full size bed - so Liam will sleep in a PNP next to the bed. The first thing out of her mouth when I told about his reaction to the PNP was "He's spoiled!!"
GRRRRRR !@#$^$!@#$^!$%! I just had a gut reaction POd feeling. It may be a VERY long visit next weekend.
Well, DH could always sleep on the floor so you can co-sleep. I confess that my DH usually ends up on the other bed in hotel rooms or whatnot.
We're going to have a similar problem when we go to the outer banks in July. The house has one queen or king (can't remember which) and the other bed is a full. We're going with another couple who co-sleeps, so we're going to have to fight over the queen. lol. The third bedroom has two twins, so I might have DH bring a twin into our room if it fits and he'll get that.
Tracy, Ari and Bella
Yeah, maybe DH could just sleep on the floor or on the couch or something?
I less than three all y'alls.
I confess I'm going for an interview tomorrow to get my Brit passport. You have to prove that you are "you." LOL. I hope I don't get any really hard questions.....they supposedly ask you about your mortgage and stuff...I really should pay attention to my DH when he talks about financial things...LOL. I'll let ya know how it goes. (They passed the law here that every first time applicant over 16 has to be interviewed after 9-11 to protect people from identity theft).

Benefits of Forum Posting
The advancement of technologies and flow of information through different channels has made it easy for consumers to attain certain information. The best way to resolve our problems, search any information about a product/service/etc, is through various forums. There are innumerable forums present on the internet like studies forum for students, technical forum for engineers, medical forum for doctors, human resource forum for HR, sports forum for sportsman, SEO forum for companies doing SEO and many other industries specific. The vast knowledge spread through these forums and makes it easier for a common man to have legitimate information.

- Awareness among the target audience: This method has a very deep impact on the users, who uses internet as their primary source to achieve any information. Forums help us reach to the most appropriate or target audience and which helps us to disseminate the right information at the right place. If you are authentic, your existence among the right audience will make yourself visible among them thus causing an awareness of your presence.

- lifetime relationship: Once the awareness had spread, and people follow you in your comments and posts or threads they know the information is coming from a trusted source. This trust helps in building a lifetime relationship with the online users. Handling the online audience is the toughest part of e-business, but once the target users know you are authentic a lifetime relationship starts.
- Free Education: Online forums have various categories & subcategories and it covers almost all kinds of information which can be shared. Forums provide a platform for to-fro of information and sometimes very deep and interesting, this is why a large part of online society joins them.

- Provides visibility: There are hundreds of people who join forums every day, the traffic is huge. If this process is done correctly it brings a lot of visibility and more importantly visibility to the appropriate readers. For SEO, forum post acts as a channel to boost the visibility.
- Control Anchor text: Forum Posting provides us an opportunity to control our anchor text. This again involves experts, because keyword selection and making a particular keyword anchor text involves analysis.
- Relevancy attracts search engines: If a forum becomes popular for its genuine posts, and if our thread is controlled in a structured manner then it also get noticed.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
I leveled a resto shaman from 1-80 in wotlk, healing through heroics and having fun. Would have raided if it were my cup of tea. In Cataclysm I initially had fun healing reg 5-mans, but quickly got burned out and never saw heroics for two simple reasons:
1) healing as it played out in Cataclysm just didn't work. I agree that wotlk was too mindless, in that one could simply spam OP heals when they were off cooldown. But much of Cata healing itself was a mindless spamfest, as you really only had one option (spam generic heal forrreeevveerrr). Spamming generic heal over and over is much more boring than spamming overpowered heals that actually put up big numbers and are cool. Additionally, the really crucial design error is that the fight encounters were not synergized with the new healing philosophy. The healers were designed with the philosophy of "make heals count, make them expensive so that players must carefully select which to use", while the damage done to the players during boss encounters was "ZOMG AOE".
2) the few number of regular 5 mans at launch ensured rapid burnout. Running the same 5 mans on reg, then redoing it all on heroic just wasn't inspiring. Additionally many of the dungeons themselves were simply not that exciting.
To summarize:
The cata healing model just traded one spamfest for another.
The above was coupled with aoe-heavy damage bosses which made healing miserable.
Endgame content was lacking and uninspiring.
Healing was my favorite role in the game, and I've stopped completely. All I do is tank, and my two tanks are capped at 70 and 80. (It's worlds more fun reliving the 70 and 80 end-game than trying to push through cata's uninspiring content).
I see nothing coming in future designs that could make me want to start healing again.

Led Zeppelin's Weekend Countdown… But To What?
Over the weekend, Led Zeppelin kicked off a countdown to an unspecified event on their Facebook page. On Saturday, they posted the word "Five" (in the font that the band used on their The Song Remains The Same album cover), leading to a flurry of online speculation: is there a 5 disc box set coming out? Is there a lost album between 1971's Led Zeppelin (often referred to as "IV") and the follow-up, 1973's Houses Of The Holy that would now be seeing the light of day?

The Jefferson County Coroner's Office has identified the body of a woman found on the side of I-65 between Walker Chapel Road and Fieldstown Road.
The woman is identified as Jennifer Leigh Butler, a 28-year-old woman from Huntsville. She was identified through her medical records, the coroner's office said.
Butler's body was found on Monday morning on the side of interstate after a stranded driver saw the body and reported it to officials.
The Jefferson County Sheriff's Office described her as a white female with brown hair and a tongue piercing.
Authorities say she was only wearing spandex pants, a white bra and an orange Six Flags wristband.
Butler's mother said she had gone to Six Flags on Tuesday, June 10.
A spokesperson for the coroner's office said there are no signs of trauma or foul play in Butler's death.
The coroner's office is still waiting on toxicology results, which usually takes about two or three weeks to come back from the state lab.
The Sheriff's Office says Butler had been visiting friends in Birmingham on Friday, June 13.
That was the last time anyone heard from her, according to Sgt. Jack Self.
Police determined Butler last used her ATM card in Bessemer on Friday night. The ATM camera captured a photo of her and a black male getting money out on Friday evening.
Sgt. Self said she did not appear to be under any duress at the time the ATM photo was taken, but that doesn't mean she wasn't.
The Sheriff's Office wants to speak with the man in the photo.
Butler's mom filed a missing persons report with the Huntsville Police Department on Sunday, June 16.
Butler's car, a silver 2010 Mazda, is also reported missing and is now listed as a stolen vehicle. The car has an Alabama license plate with a tag number 47FM569.
She was seen driving her car in Bessemer on Friday, June 13.
The Sheriff's Office is still working to find out how Butler ended up on the side of the interstate. Investigators believe she died somewhere else and her body was dumped on the side of the road.
Sgt. Self says that will have to wait for the official cause of death before determining if any charges will be filed in the case.

Louisville Basketball Coach Rick Pitino now says he expects Chane Behanan back in a short period of time.
Pitino made these comments at his book signing at Kentucky Wesleyan in Owensboro.
Pitino added that because Behanan told the truth, he was not kicked off the team. He was just suspended.
Coach Pitino has yet to say exactly what Behanan did.

Michael Cole's character – the heel announcer— seems to be the talk these days.
What began as an annoyance, then emerged as an actually deserving WrestleMania match with the Jerry Lawler feud, had seemingly ran its course months ago, but now persists through the return of Jim Ross to the microphone.
Like much of professional wrestling, it's not a new concept, but like much of professional wrestling today, the concept isn't exactly entertaining, clever or meaningful.
I'll not pretend to know the history of every heel announcer ever known to wrestling fans, but let's hit the obvious ones and think about the approach.
Most would go back to Roddy Piper teaming with the late, great Gordon Solie in terms of having an impact as a heel announcer. I believe there were others at the time, including Don Muraco, but Piper was around in the early 1980's.
On the national scene, it was most likely Jesse Ventura – before he went over into kooksville – that started a trend of making heels hip and making wisecracks second nature to pro wrestling announcing. Playing off the otherwise overbearing but bland and often out of step Vince McMahon (yeah, those of us old enough knew VKM as an announcer first, owner second) and of course as a definite counter-point to Bruno Sammartino, Ventura was entertaining.
The way he rooted for the 'bad guys' was different, but there was typically a logic to his madness. He cheered less than subtly, but not like a real homer, for the heels, and it was amusing to realize that he could point out the hypocrisy of babyfaces cheating to win, or using heel tactics to overcome an opponent, or otherwise be dejected if his favorite was to fall.
Ventura always had that ego and always seemed to be more about putting himself over in the end, that sense of 'look at me, I root for the bad guys because I'm a bad guy' approach. Eventually, his role stalled when he went to WCW and seemed out of synch with the different roster, let alone the different styles.
Plus in WCW, the Southern Style Heel didn't exactly need Jesse Ventura around, if you get my allusion.
There's a tangent I'm mostly ignoring with the Memphis era stuff, and the ongoing Jerry Lawler and company styles, with the heel managers and their incessant talking up of their guys. And of course a heel manager chiming in on matches isn't exactly unknown almost anywhere.
I think Bobby Heenan truly made the heel commentator work, and of course he was the heel manager first, and I believe because of that he was far more about getting guys over as well as a pure entertainment in and of himself.
The difference between Ventura and Heenan was that Jesse played off his counterparts, with a nod to the heels in the ring, where Heenan took the entertainment value up a few notches by being entertaining. Ventura became somewhat boring after a while, but Heenan was always able to crack jokes, be boisterous or otherwise change up his game.
Sure, he could be the center of attention, but so much of the 'it's all about me' was overplayed to the point where his self-deprecating nature rarely became annoying.
Around the late 1980's and early 1990's, those two figures were still around, but some other guys came around. Scotty Flamingo and the "Uncle Gorilla" act was always awesome, just because the man who became Raven was super-annoying and far 'smarter' and far more of a smart-ass than wrestling fans were used to, and he sort of ushered in that new approach.
Flamingo wasn't exactly mainstream, but he launched a career with his smug delivery and attitude and, well, his attitude was ahead of the WWF's eventual Attitude era.
Around the same time, Larry Zbyszko began to pop up as an interesting alternative. He wasn't quite as annoying, although many would dispute that, and he wasn't so egotistical after all, although many would dispute that as well. I've always felt that Larry knew the psychology of pro wrestling like few others, and while he had a decided indifference to the entertainment factors, he always remained a personality.
But with Larry, his biggest fame came into being when he was less the heel, and more a very weird double-reverse heel that became baby-face when he took on the NWO. (what is it with that spell-checker?)
But before that, we roll into Eric Bischoff.
Bischoff was the higher profile heel 'owner' type before Vince dominated that role, and few guys exuded the arrogance and elitism of my buddy Eric. Even Vince has to work at it on-screen. Not Bischoff. He was annoying as hell before he turned heel, almost go-away heat, and was destined to morph into being the spokesman of the bad guys or blow up and go away, and anyone who thinks his heelness will turn him babyface, ever, is woefully uncomprehending of the business.
(Insert ongoing Vince Russo joke here).
But strangely enough, Bischoff was one of the archetypes of the heel announcer. While his arrogance, brashness, overwhelmingly supportive commentary and sheer power did put the focus on his ego, he was running the ship which contained a direction that he molded as he spoke.
There are of course a hundred million dollars of detraction for the success of that approach, but at some point the concept work.
At some point, however, history proves that the shelf life of the heel announcer simply must be observed.
The emergence of the influences of ECW… the Philly Original … did have some heel announcers in a sense. Tazz was this sort of bad-ass heel that revealed that he could talk. He was more of the subtle type, just enough of the bloodthirsty and the critical to keep an edge to his character and commentary. A lot less egotistical that Ventura, and yet more involved than Zbyszko would ever seem.
ECW also spawned that creature known as Joel Gertner, who's vulgar limericks and over-the-top grossness (appearance, language) set a standard that unfortunately rarely gets mimicked. Then again, I can't believe I said that.
If anyone ever does go that direction, and I'm sure someone will castigate me for overlooking XPW, but hey, I'm overlooking them and admitting it, then even a badly aging Gertner should be trotted back out for the sheer Rated-R entertainment of his schtick.
The WWE didn't exactly tear up the world with heel announcers, and of course having the ultimate heel owner precluded a lot of that. But Jonathan Coachman had his run, forgettable despite how annoying he could be.
On the indy scene, the true master is Dave Prazak, who has shifted from over-the-top heel – because he was a heel manager, in Full Impact Pro, to various degrees in both Ring of Honor and yet he's pretty close to the vest in SHIMMER, which is in itself weird.
By the way, the Lenny Leonard/Dave Prazak team is sorely missed in ROH.
Indy promotions and heel announcers run the gamut.
In many places ,they become run-of-the-mill, sort of like Michael Cole on his average day, where you just wish he'd shut up and stop distracting – the worst thing an announce can do.
CHIKARA has some interesting approaches, with bringing in heels to do commentary. The first time I heard CHIKARA, and not knowing the wrestlers, I was completely taken aback, with some of the crazed talk of Ultramantis Black and others.
But once the characters are known, it's an approach that works.
Long term, however, CHIKARA is more about personalities and characters than getting over any one particular match, which allows them more leeway.
One recent example of a great heel is Absolute Intense Wrestling's Aaron Bauer, who was/is a heel manager, but overshadowed by another heel manager. Bauer has a pretty good understanding of the role, more Heenan/Zbyszko, less Ventura and pretty much alien to the Bischoff approach.
But the underlying subtleties of being a sycophant and falling over himself to get on the bandwagon of the heels really made him stand out.
It brings me back to Michael Cole:
What is his role?
He's pretty much a voice of Vince McMahon, pretty much there to be annoying, pretty much there to allow Vince to rip on people he wants to bury, embarrass or point out flaws.
Cole doesn't add much to the entertainment value, and his shelf life was great leading up to WrestleMania, but every week now he's just a distraction.
He's already battled Lawler and Ross, and they're back together in a three man booth that will only be awkward, even more distracting and even more unworkable as time goes on.
Perhaps Cole on Smackdown, if he mellows out but begrudges Jim Ross taking his slot, could be an interesting twist. Perhaps Cole, given that completely alien manager role, could be given new direction and he's capable of talking guys up and drawing heat – even if that Jack Swagger thing was made nonsensical in a hearbeat.
But the point is what is the point of Michael Cole? Is he entertaining? Is he enhancing the heels on the show? Is he pointing out hypocrisy and making sort of a psychological appeal to disaffected fans? Or is he, in the least, showing an innate talent that needs to be revealed to the world?
Unfortunately, he's Vince's mouthpiece, and because of that, he's unlikely to go away, especially since Vince has gone away and desperately needs that connection to what's relevant.

PLAYERS: Tiger Woods
THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. — Tiger Woods started his World Challenge in 1999 as a chance to bring together top players from around the world for a tournament that amounted to a holiday exhibition to raise money for his foundation. It offered big money, even for the guy who finished last. And though it now awards world ranking points, it does not count as an official win on any tour. But it's serious business to Woods. When the tournament lost its title sponsor last year, and a deal with a major company unexpectedly fell through at the last minute in early September, Woods spent what is thought to be about $4 million of his own money to join presenting sponsor Northwestern Mutual in covering the operating costs. "We're going to be doing everything we can to keep the tournament going and keep all our programs going," Woods said. He described the World Challenge earlier in the week as his "showcase event" that he created with his late father, Earl Woods. And while the trophy and a $1 millio...

I really like the suit on the right, and her headpiece. :)
So it's way too soon to be looking at swimsuits (in my part of the world anyway, brrr) but I simply love swimsuits from the 40s and 50s! So stylish. Of course I had to include Marilyn in her white bathing suit. I love the idea of having pretty much a dress as a swimsuit.

This website began with posting one thing that inspired me every day for 40 days, a project which I called "40 Day Beauty Binge". Rather than giving something up for Lent in 2011, I decided to take something on. I thought this would be the perfect challenge to help me appreciate the little things in life and continue to be inspired.
Once the 40 days was over, I decided to begin a new project I call, "Captured In 365". This is where I take a photo a day and post it on my website. I decided to start this project on June 5, 2011 -- my 27th birthday to celebrate life!
It's been almost two years & counting and I'm still snapping away!
Come join me and get a snapshot into a day in the life of ... me.

We spend 3 billion hours a week as a planet playing videogames. Is it worth it? How could it be MORE worth it?
Currently there are more than half a billion people worldwide playing computer and videogames at least an hour a day -- and 183 million in the U.S. alone. The younger you are, the more likely you are to be a gamer -- 99% of boys under 18 and 94% of girls under 18 report playing videogames regularly. The average young person racks up 10,000 hours of gaming by the age of 21 -- or 24 hours less than they spend in a classroom for all of middle and high school if they have perfect attendance. It's a remarkable amount of time we're investing in games. 5 million gamers in the U.S., in fact, are spending more than 40 hours a week playing games -- the equivalent of a full time job!
What accounts for the lure of games – and are we getting as much from our games as we're giving them?
I explore these questions in my new book Reality is Broken – and I believe that, for most gamers, playing games is, surprisingly not a waste of time -- but rather quite productive. Gameplay may not contribute to the Gross Domestic Product… but scientific research shows that gameplay does contribute to our quality of life, by producing positive emotions (such as optimism, curiosity and determination) and stronger social relationships (when we play with real-life friends and family – especially if the game is co-operative). And for gamers who prefer tough, challenging games, they can build up our problem-solving resilience -- so we learn faster from our mistakes, and become resilient in the face of failure.
However... not all games power-up our real lives. Some games, at the end of the day, make us feel stupid for having wasted so much time on them.
So: How do we know when we're playing a good game -- and when would we be better off doing something "real"?

Jason Soll 500+Feb 15 2011: As an EX-GAMER: I think people underestimate the catalyst for curiosity that gaming can be. My younger brother, for example, has always been an avid gamer. One day, while walking through Barnes and Noble, he spotted Friedrich Nietzsche's "Thus Spoke Zarathustra." He dashed over to the book and could not escape its compelling pages for days to come. Never before had he read any philosophy or even expressed any interest in it whatsoever. What caused this sudden change? Video games.
In one of his favorite games, Tales of Symphonia, Zarathustra was the name of something important (either a character or place, I can't remember). Seeing that word in the bookstore made him wildly curious. The rest is history.
Like comedy, gaming can serve intellectual hors d' oeuvres. Monty Python always sprinkled remnants of their Oxford- and Cambridge-educated minds in to their work. In the same way, there are many games out there that are in fact spreading intellectual curiosity. Game designers need to realize that incorporating such intellectual catalysts can only boost the quality of a game.
Feb 15 2011: Jason, I think you make an excellent point. The quality of the experience is so important. Some pedagogies such as Montessori, Waldorf, and Reggio Emilia emphasize the importance of the environment as the third teacher in learning (the other two being the student and the teacher). Thus, the gaming environment can positively or negatively contribute to human development. Games with mythic motifs as compared to inferior human potentials have much greater potential to positively affect the gamer.
Feb 15 2011: I am now playing Persona 3 Portable, and I often think that this game will probably get a lot of people into Jung. Apart from the obvious gameplay elements (personas and shadows for two), because a large part of the game happens at school during class, you actually get a lot of little lectures and bits of knowledge about myth/magic, psychology and such, and are then quizzed on that. It's a small part of the game, but I bet that it will make a few people grab a Jung primer.

New Yorker Caitlin Hackett's anthromorphic masterpieces are a wonder to behold. Not for the queasy, her works are a mutation of nature and humanity.

Her bold line-work make for some grotesque, twisted and alluring work.

There is a probability puzzle called 'Monty Hall Problem' which I'll try to fit into Bollywood's report card post My Name is Khan.
Looking for some entertainment you have already burned your fingers with duds like Toh Baat Pakki and Click, last week. This week you have two options- Teen Patti and Karthik Calling Karthik. I assume you are interested in the former (thanks to the hot item babe and the slick teaser) that's why you have landed on this page.
Now given a choice to make a switch between the two movies, how many of you would like to trade their options? Here Mr. Monty Hall's proverbial paradox comes handy and recommends you to make a switch and there is a greater probability that you'll end up as a winner.
I, however, wasn't lucky enough and went ahead with Teen Patti and I guess Monty Hall has been proved right once again. I chose a wrong movie.
Teen Patti is the story of Prof. Venkat Subramaniam (Amitabh Bachchan), a maverick but a genius nonetheless, who has devised an obscure theory of probability. One day, back in his village he receives an invitation from another Mathematics genius Perci Trachtenberg (Sir Ben Kingsley) to visit him.
The twain meet at the prestigious Cambridge University and Venkat narrates him the horrors of his ingenious discovery turning into a nightmare marred by greed and deception.
Dejected and ridiculed by his colleagues Venkat roped in junior professor Shantanu (R Madhavan) and three students Aparna aka Apu (Shraddha Kapoor), Sid (Siddharth Kher) and Bikram (Dhruv). They all go to the down market gambling dens, play the game employing the theory and win it.
But soon greed comes in and gets them all into trouble. An unknown blackmailer starts calling Subramanium and demanding a big share in the money they make from their games. The blackmailer even starts dictating which games they should play next.
Meanwhile, another richie rich student Abbas (Vaibhav) too joins the game. Subramanium starts suspecting the blackmailer to be one amongst his group members but soon a situation arises where he gets convinced it is none of them but someone else who is playing the game on him. What happens next makes up this amorphous flick.
The script is totally erratic. Lead characters keep mouthing contradictory dialogues, burst into fits of anger, hurl abuses at each other at the drop of the hat. Amitabh Bachchan leads the gang but fails to save the desultory story.
Madhavan seriously needs to work on his love handle before handling the hotties like Saira Mohan onscreen.
Brat pack (Dhruv Ganesh, Siddharth Kher, Vaibhav Talwar) and their floozie Shraddha Kapoor look raw and at times completely lost just like film's screenplay. Cameos by Raima Sen, Barry John, Jackie Shroff, Ajay Devgan and Shakti Kapoor don't help either. Don't expect another Gandhi from Sir Ben. He has been reduced to a mere listener here.
We hear that Leena Yadav had roped in the services of a Hollywood editor over and above her desi editor Kaushik Das. Hughes Winborne who has won an Oscar for his editing in Paul Haggis's Crash has done the 're-edit' of Teen Patti.
Has it helped the film? Yes, Winborne makes director Leena Yadav's feckless effort to end in little over 2 hours and you thank your stars on your way out.
Let's call spade a spade, Teen Patti is a big bluff and 21 gone wrong.

After a three day layoff, Portland (42-29) heads home for a quick
one-game stay against a team they have had surprisingly great success
against this season, the Dallas Mavericks (47-24). After being swept
last season, 3-0, Portland has accomplished something no one thought
possible, winning twice in American Airlines Center and doing so under
the most improbable conditions. The first victory, 85-81,
occurred two weeks after Greg Oden went down with a broken kneecap and
in the 2nd quarter, Portland saw their rock, Joel Przybilla go down
with a similar, yet much more devastating injury. To prove the win in
December was no fluke, the Trail Blazers pulled an even bigger rabbit
out of their hat by dethroning Dallas again, this time in overtime, 114-112,
behind 52 points from Andre Miller. Oh, yeah, the Blazers pulled this
miracle off without Brandon Roy as well as not having the two big
centers inside either. Will the Cinderella run continue tonight against
Dallas or will another long break between games get the best of the
Blazers again?
Although Portland defeated Dallas twice already
this year, you may almost want to throw that out the window this time
around. Both teams brought in entirely different personnel since the
last meeting in January and its safe to say both teams are
significantly better, whether it be through trades, health, or any
other factor. Dallas robbed Washington in acquiring Caron Butler and
Brendan Haywood, while Portland obtained Camby and now have a roster
full of healthy players, including Brandon Roy. In a sense, this is the
first matchup between Dallas and Portland this season and will go a
long way to seeing how we truly line up against the Mavs if we end up
facing each other in the playoffs. Right now Dallas is 2nd and with a
win, Portland moves into 7th. If the Blazers can somehow win these
upcoming two games at home against the Mavericks, there should be no
reason why Portland should not be favored to beat them in a playoff
If the Trail Blazers are serious about catching some of
these teams above them, they need to show it tonight. Lay it all on the
floor. Although the defense was pretty good against the Suns, too many
times did I see Amare rip a rebound away from one of our guys or Robin
Lopez out-hustle someone and come away with the board. Dallas, although
a lock for the playoffs, if fighting for their lives as well. They are
in a virtual dead heat for 2nd place in the West with Denver and Utah,
and obtaining home court throughout the 1st two rounds of the playoffs
is a immensely important. Dallas needs this win just as much as we do
and if we don't come out aggressive, they'll come into our house and
take it right out of our hands. I'm not singling out any one player,
coach, or member of the organization. Everyone needs to play with a
little desperation tonight.
Brandon Roy. I don't think there is
a bigger key to the game tonight than #7. Anyone notice lately how
badly we struggle when he is off his game and how much easier he makes
the game for everyone else when he is his normal Roy-Wonder self? Take
a look at the Trail Blazers 7-2 mark in March,
where in Portland wins, Brandon averages 24.1 points, shoots 46.2% from
the field (55-119), gets to the foul line 9 times a night, and only
attempts 3.1 three-point attempts. On the flip side, during the two
losses in that span to the Nuggets and the Suns, B-Roy tallied a mere
17.5 points on a very un-Roy like 28.2% (11-39), only manages 7 trips
to the charity stripe, while shooting 4.5 threes.
There are a
couple conclusions derived from these statistics. First, only one team
above .500 was defeated in the nine-game sample (Memphis), and when the
competition heated up, Roy played his worst. Now, I wouldn't shoulder
Roy with all the blame, as teams have been known to pack in on Roy,
sending double teams at him constantly, forcing his teammates to step
up. Basketball is a team game, so we can give Roy a little pass there,
but what is a little unnerving is the fact that when Roy performs
poorly, the foul shot attempts go down while three-point field goals
jacked up increase. What Brandon needs to do to take the next step in
his game is to find a way to the line, no matter how poorly he is
shooting on the night. Guys like LeBron, Wade, and Kobe always find
ways to put pressure on the D, even if their shot has temporarily
abandoned them for the night. For Portland to walk away victorious, Roy
needs to get to the charity stripe 10+ times, score around his average,
but do so efficiently. It is a Thursday night on TNT, so chances are
The Natural will be out in full force tonight.
Outside of Roy
doing what he does, there is no magical stat barrier the Blazers need
to reach in order to get win #43. They just need to play tough,
out-physical the Mavericks, even a few hard fouls by Juwan would help,
and force the action inside. Obviously, we have to hit better than 2-17
from I-5 to ensure the Mavs don't pack the paint and beg us to shoot
from the perimeter, but any chance we get to run, go! I'm going to go
the optimistic route tonight and say the rust won't hinder the Blazers
too badly and the Rose Garden crowd will be quick to forget the last
team appearance on Friday. Portland fights tooth and nail with Dallas,
but Nico will once again harass Dirk on those tough, fade away jump
shots while Brandon will have an answer every time down to the floor
for the Mavericks. It's Brandon Roy, TNT Thursday night, how can you
not think he won't impress?

Hawes will be a hot commodity by the trade deadline, I would think the sixers could find a better offer.
However, I do believe Mo Williams could have somewhat of  a high trade value. Olshey needs to make a deal to get a big man while we...

A day with more potential for emotional upset cannot be fathomed, nor a day with more opportunity! Tread carefully because emotions drive action; get a grip on yours. How you handle things makes all the difference. A shock is best solved by working on the problem rather than venting. A tactless [...]

text: Creole craftsmen are talented woodworkers, basket makers, and jewelry makers. Brought from West Africa and adapted to local conditions, the art of wood carving has been handed from father to son for generations using many of the beautiful and exotic woods of Belize. In the older days mahogany carving products were common household items such as washing bowls, kneading bowls, and pieces of furniture. Today the emphasis is on sculptures for tourists. Creole craftsmen make some of Belize's finest furniture seen in many homes. The Creole home itself, built of wood and up on stilts, is unique in Central America. The construction of the dug-out canoe, or dorey (doary), is another skill once mastered by many Creole men. Traditionally baskets were made from a vine called the tie-tie. Jewelry makers have adapted their trade to natural materials at hand, such as coral, shells, and seeds.

"Leonard Crow Dog conducting the Peyote Ceremony, changing the pitch of the water drum by blowing into it."
As a young girl, Elizabeth Cotten played the guitar, but gave it up as she got older. It was much later, when she was working for the Seeger family in Washington, that she was "discovered" by Mike, who was just learning to play at the time. Mike handed her the guitar and a myriad of notes began rippling forth to what must have been an amazed and awestruck Mike. I don't know that Freight Train was the first piece that Libba played for Mike, but, if it wasn't the first, it was soon to come, and it immediately became the piece that you identified with Libba." — Ed Badeaux, Sing Out (1964)

Access eCO's 2013 Annual Report
Spring Mortgage Promotion
Congratulations to Jeffrey Vick. Jeffrey was the winner of eCO's Spring Mortgage Promotion. He refinanced his mortgage to a low-rate eCO Mortgage and was randomly selected to receive a $250 gift card.
eCO Savings Race, Second Edition
eCO Credit Union partners with CBS 42 to help three families find a place of financial peace.
2014-2015 A.L. Bratcher Scholarship
Each year, eCO Credit Union offers the A.L. Bratcher Scholarship in honor of the late Reverend A.L. Bratcher. Reverend A.L. Bratcher played an instrumental role in the credit union movement, founding Canaan Baptist Church Federal Credit Union. To continue recognizing the work and dedication of safe, sound, member-first financial institutions by Reverend Bratcher, eCO awards two $1,000 scholarships.
The scholarship is open to local seniors who plan on enrolling in 2 or 4-year schools for the upcoming academic school year. After receiving a large number of scholarship applications during the 2014 application period, eCO Credit Union's A.L. Bratcher Scholarship Committee selected Lita Waggoner and Eric Kim as the 2014-2015 A.L. Bratcher Scholarship recipients.
Lita Waggoner is a senior at the Alabama School of Fine Arts. From serving as the Senior Class president to actively participating in Girl Scouts of North-Central Alabama, Lita excels in extracurricular activities. While balancing extracurricular activities and community involvement, Lita also maintains an excellent 4.35 GPA. Lita plans to attend the University of Alabama in the fall. Eric Kim will be graduating from Hoover High School in May. Currently, he has an impressive 4.6 GPA. Eric also has a very well-rounded Resume filled with extracurricular activities. Some of the activities include: President of the Spanish Club, Captain of the Lincoln Douglas Debate Team, and a Member of the Hoover High Math Team. Eric plans to attend the University of Alabama at Birmingham. Both recipients were honored at a luncheon at The Club on April 16th.
Shamrocks Against Dystrophy
eCO Credit Union hosts a successful Shamrocks against Dystrophy Campaign.
The Muscular Dystrophy Association is the largest nonprofit health organization sponsoring research seeking the causes and effective treatment for neuromuscular diseases. eCO Credit Union is proud to support this outstanding organization for the eighth year in a row. Through shamrock sales, branch contests, and employee contributions, eCO Credit Union raised $8,882.43 for the Muscular Dystrophy Association.
Funds raised through the Shamrocks against Dystrophy campaign directly benefit children living with muscular diseases. Each eCO branch sponsors local children to send to camp, providing a true motivation to work hard throughout the fundraiser.
"eCO Credit Union members and employees went above and beyond in fundraising for the Muscular Dystrophy Association," said Melissa Reeves, eCO Marketing Manager. "Through their efforts, we were able to join together to send eleven local kids to MDA Summer Camp."
Pencils for Jefferson County
eCO Credit Union delivers almost 60,000 pencils to local schools
Founded as a teacher's credit union, eCO Credit Union still places a major emphasis on giving back to schools and teachers. One way eCO serves schools each year is through delivering #2 pencils for testing. During the month of February, a box of 1,000 pencils was delivered to each Jefferson County School.
Katie Coleman, third grade teacher at Adamsville Elementary School said, "Teachers at Adamsville greatly appreciate pencils donated by eCO Credit Union. With so much on our mind during testing, it is great to know we don't have to scramble to find good pencils for our students to use. My kids love using the fun colored pencils."
eCO Credit Union also provides report card covers, academic calendars, and financial education materials to local schools.
$75 Celebration
eCO Credit Union celebrates its 75th Anniversary
Change for Children's
Special thanks to Bessemer Academy, Bottenfield Middle School, Centerpoint High School, Clay Elementary School, Fultondale High School, Hueytown Elementary School, and McAdory Elementary School for partnering with eCO and collecting spare change for the Change for Children's campaign. When combined, partnering schools raised more than $2,500!
FORWARD>>> Referral Winners
Congratulations to the winners of the FORWARD Referral Promotion, Notheria and Takia Woods! Notheria referred Takia to eCO's FORWARD Checking, and both won iPad Minis!
eCO Savings Race Winner
Since September, eCO has worked with four individuals—Brenda Rogers, Cassandra James, Kristy Roy, and Mike Stonewall—to improve their financial pictures through the eCO Savings Race. During the eCO Savings Race, participants met with eCO Coaches, completed Dave Ramsey's Financial Peace University, attended eCO Savings Race University courses, and documented their progress with blog posts. CBS 42 also followed the progress of the teams, allowing the community to participate and learn practical ways to improve their finances too.
The participants worked very hard to set and meet goals throughout the Race. From packing lunches to working side jobs, participants learned small changes can lead to big gains. On May 1st, the First Edition of the eCO Savings Race came to a close when the winner was announced live on CBS 42. After a close race, Kristy Roy was selected as the winner of the eCO Savings Race and recipient of $10,000! The other participants didn't walk away empty handed. Along with an improved financial picture, each participant also received $2,000 to honor their efforts throughout the eCO Savings Race. In total, Savings Race participants improved their financial pictures by more than $44,000!
"The Savings Race has been my saving grace. I went from a desperate situation to a place I never thought I would be," say Kristy Roy. "I never thought I could do the things I have accomplished in these nine months. I have completely changed my financial status and my stress level."
eCO Members and the community were also invited to participate in eCO Savings Race Mini-Races. The Mini-Races were practical ways for the public to follow the eCO Savings Race and work towards improving their financial pictures. Lynette Cotton was the winner of the eCO Mini-Race drawing. She received $1,000!

Cheap-as-chips replacement for the venerable CG125 offers the same kind dependable utilitarian transport but with a dash of style. The CBF125 has flown out of showrooms since its introduction in January – so much so that dealers complain of not being able to get hold of them quickly enough – and we're not surprised.

The Honda XR125L is not a 'true' XR (just check out the electric start and the large tank range) maybe, but this is a great little commuter and green-laner. It lacks power up top but there's more than enough for town riding and a spot of weekend fun off-road. It looks absolutely gorgeous, too.

The Hyosung GT250 Comet is a very good value-for-money 250 commuter, and whilst the R version offers no more power, it has a good looking full fairing and the same USD front end as the Comet. There's a 125cc V-twin version too, which uses the same high quality chassis, but it's heavy for a learner bike, and expensive - nearly ...

Pop Quiz: Which Bedroom Do You Prefer?
So, here we have two bedrooms from two socialites (or "celebutards," depending on who you talk to), and we're curious to see which one of these rooms is more popular? Option A features a black patent leather headboard with a matching bench in a very dramatic black-and-white bedroom; option B is all soft pink frills and mirrored surfaces. Which one do you prefer? Bigger photos and the reveal of who sleeps where after the jump...
[ Photos from Turquoise Chic ]
54 Comments
I prefer both of the rooms and their owners to go away and never appear again.
Black and white, loveit.
I guess Paris hastily removed the mirrors from the ceiling prior to the photoshoot.
I'll take Paris's room, please. Nicky's room seems as vacant as her facial expressions.
Yuck - don't like either one!
"celebretards" rolls off better than "celebutards" i think.
anyway, i went with Paris's. and now i shall move away from this post and never look at it again. thank you.
neither of them. i would like it to be a combination of the two. the mirror bed, but black and white environment.
I like Nicky's. Clearly there are things I would change, but the pink room is too precious and floofy for me.
Also, they live in a hotel. I'd change that.
I am into the black and white room much more than the others.
Can we not use "retarded" as an insult? Not Nice, you know?
I'll take the b/w option, as much as I love pink, because that mirrored bed is TEH UGLY.
I pick Nicky's. It's a bit over the top with the patent, but I love it. I recall really liking it when it was showcased in InStyle a while back. I also love black and white, so that probably plays into it. I like Paris', but the pink would likely get on my nerves after a week.
I would take Nicky's cause that means her closet is attached.
i like nickys the best... i like the black/white. i'm not fond of that light peachy-pink color.
Both bedrooms scream "I'm a tackhead!"
Both give me anxiety. I would never be able to sleep in either, regardless of who owns them.
In my opinion, hejiranyc wins for comment of the post.
both are horrible. yes, and the rooms, too.
I am curious to know how many people would say they dislike both if we didn't know who they belong to. I like the black and white room much better. Pink is not my thing, especially the hideous powder pink of that room. But I do like the crisp black and white room. Especially the lamps.
UGH! this is like that game where you have to pick which is the least awful of two horrible options. Like being skinned alive or impaled. I'd choose the black & white option in this case.
Love B
I guess the black and white one... Except I hate the drapes and curtain rods. And I would repaint the walls and ceiling in a softer, less stark white... maybe grey. Then I'm set.
If I had to choose, then it would B.
Oddly enough, I prefer the Pink bedroom...
...if only it had green fretwork-patterned carpets and grasscloth wallpaper.
I'm always amazed at how boring the celebrity rooms we see on AT are. Both are okay as a base, but man, they need some personality. How about a few pieces of art? Something that doesn't slavishly adhere to the period? (Paris' bedroom needs a killer midcentury chandelier and a knockout piece of art. THEN it would look like something!!)
Look up Lance Armstrong's place. Or J-Lo's. Not a one of them has the slightest bit of personality!
Does Paris have a picture of herself on her nightstand????
Do we really have to choose...?
And I decided that before I realized who they belong to. (Although that increases the 'ick' factor.)
Having said that, there are elements of the black/white room that I could like...but as is, they are both just too vacant and gaudy.
neither of the above. They're both hideous.
Neither. These are not pics I'd rip out and stick in my decor scrapbook.
neither! and that was decided before knowing the owners.
there are "celebrities" out there who really deserve to have their names in print, cant you highlight that type of celebrity on your site?
do we have to choose? fine, then I choose A.
But I won't ever admit it in public.
I would pick a hybrid of the two.
Neither one is really my thing, but if I had to choose I'd go with B, but I'd switch out the pink for an eggshell blue or pale mint green, and lose the chandelier. I kind of like that patent headboard in A, though.
nicky's. it would be even cooler if she had a black bourgie in it!
Ugh! Not a fan of either bedroom!
Even before knowing whose they were, I didn't like either of them.
both are so kitsch
Hate both of them!!
i really dont like either of the, too. im a guy so the pink one reminds me of my sisters room when she was 10 and the other one looks like a dominatrix room and thus doesnt look very relaxing.
Parts of both could be combined to make a decent room. I luff the mirror bed and the chandelier. The curtains are a bit frou-frou.
both are vile :)
Oh my god! I am a Paris!
Wow, this is such a respectable, professional post with eloquent vocabularly such as "celebutard" followed by the rash of comments scorning two perfectly fine rooms for biased reasons. The rooms may not be inspiring or perfect, but they are certainly lavish and coordinated. I doubt participants would pick them apart quite this critically if the rooms' inhabitants had remained anonymous. Casual blog or no, is this really necessary?
I'd like to thank the people that critiqued the rooms on the sole basis of their design, and I would like the author to rethink their use of words with hybrids of "retard" in them as a put-down in reference to people who do not have mental disabilities. Not only is it inaccurate, it's just plain tactless.
P.S. The "...depending on who you talk to," afterthought is just an insulting cop-out.
Nicky's room looks a little morbid with the black curtains. I like Paris', except for the over use of the color pink and the weird textile work on the curtains.
Nicky's is much better...
That pink monstrosity is made worse by the mirrored bed. So, so, so unexplainably ugly.
Ew. Not a fan of either, but if I had to chose, I'd definitely got with Nicky's room.
is it sad that i immediately recognized room B as belonging to paris hilton?
i think i prefer A, but even then i'd start changing around a lot of colors.
I like A a lot, actually. I would add some art and a bit of colour, perhaps make it more Anna Sui, but mmm I like it
B, even if my room is all pink, I do not like that particular shade, also it looks too cluttered
Both yucky!!!
Regardless of who the owners are, I'd pick none. They're really too blah for me. I guess they stripped the personality out of them to showcase them... jeje
YUK to both
Enticher ofnthem
Sorry for the previous comment. I wanted to say :Neither of them !
