Lee's not the only "hamstrung" player on the team. It seems the bevy of defensive line injuries have now moved to other positions. It'll be a close call to see if elite special teamer
Despite getting blown out by the Bears, both
Josh McCown's been as solid as backups come at quarterback taking over for the injured Jay Cutler, but the wins just haven't followed for the Bears. McCown's gotten the ball out quickly and has nine touchdown passes and just one interception since getting playing time the last six weeks. Scoring points hasn't been the problem, as the Bears have at least 20 points in all but two games this year, but they're 2-4 in their last six games as they've fallen to 6-6 overall while competing in one of the tougher divisions in football in the NFC North.
The Bears could get back Cutler, who threw for 275 yards on 18-of-24 passing with two touchdowns and no interceptions last year against the Cowboys, but the offense has been fine with McCown. The new quarterback's developed a nice rapport with wide receiver Alshon Jeffery, who's coming off a 249-yard performance. The rookie had just 367 receiving yards and three touchdowns his rookie year, but this season he's already surpassed the 1,000-yard mark and is at 1,109 receiving yards on 70 catches with five touchdowns. Combine that with Brandon Marshall, who had seven catches for 138 yards and a touchdown last year against the Cowboys and is 10 yards short of 1,000 already this year, and that's as formidable a receiving duo as there is in the league.
That's all in addition to running back Matt Forte, who continues to be a force as a runner and receiver out of the backfield with at least 75 yards rushing and 30 yards receiving in each of his last three games. It's really been the typically vaunted Bears defense that's struggled, allowing at least 20 points in every game this season. They've dealt with a horde of injuries, including ones to defensive tackle Henry Melton and cornerback Charles Tillman, and have now added Jay Ratliff to the mix in what should be an interesting matchup to watch. Despite the defensive struggles, three of their four last defeats have been by four points or fewer, and the score may be lower given the frigid environment this weekend.

Why Is the CBC Trying To Crowdsource Its Own Vision?
I'm all for the CBC brass stepping out of their ivory towers and walking among the people, but I'd also like a sense they have a vision themselves. A vision that can be shaped by public feedback, perhaps -- but a vision nonetheless. Because if you ask a hundred people what they want from the CBC, you'll get a hundred different answers.

Today, we're launching Maemo Talk!
Think of it as itT v2.0. It's an ad-free site that will report on everything Maemo. It is not officially part of maemo.org nor affiliated with Nokia, but the site aims to showcase what's happening in maemo.org, as well as from other Maemo enthusiast sites.
It's still
work in progress. There are a few more things we are revealing soon so, keep an eye on the site. Also, we need volunteers to blog about Maemo and the Nokia N900.
Let us know if you want to be part of the team.
Check it out: http://maemotalk.com
Comments and suggestions welcome as always.
an iPhone as a Kindle companion reader.
I'll post the same conclusion but from the perspective of a Nokia Internet Tablet user
here shortly.
used each NIT as an e-reader but I learned what it's great at is, well, doing the internet thing. As its name suggests.
I thought GPS was a natural win. The big screen made maps easier to read than on most dedicated devices. Still, I used my tablet for email more often than GPS.
The voip calls with visuals blew me away. Except no one with a tethered connection bought into cam-calling.
The 770, the N800, the N810 — these were all complete computers! They meant I didn't have to lug around a laptop just in case I had real work to do. But I did most of my real work on a real computer and my wife never got the hang of using a NIT. My son's friends found the iPod Touch easier for surfing and he never cottoned to it.
With its touch screen, I didn't need a keyboard, but I liked the N810 keyboard. The keyboard made apps easier to port anyway.
And Flash! Once it became clear that "internet" meant surfing without sideways scrolling, email, and videos on YouTube, the internet tablet excelled at giving me the internet.
Well, excelled in lots of circumstances. Without a cell-plan data connection the walkaround web had no impact on NIT users. The Apple iPhone has a minuscule segment of the smartphone market but generates 50 percent of mobile web use. Apple's genius wasn't in the interface but in browbeating AT&T into affordable web access.
Does the Nokia Internet Tablet have a real future? We have a $200 netbook and it's easier for conference notetaking than an N810. I have an Amazon Kindle 2 and I can get books for it that aren't available for FBReader on my NITs. Half the cars have GPS built-in now anyway. So what's the sweet spot for the Internet Tablet?
Doh!. The internet, same as it's always been.
Except these days, "the internet" means Twitter, too. With multi-tasking so I can tweet full-screen and use multiple screens to follow several hundred people (in more than one group). With keyboard and touch-screen and audio and photos too. And from anywhere I might be, um-m, walking around.
I can tweet from a phone now, thank you very much, but making sure it fits is no piece of cake. Tweeting means editing down to 140 characters without having to struggle. And reading (following), tweeting and surfing simultaneously? Hey, where's my computer again? At least Maemo was built for us to do more than one thing at a time.
I expect there will be lots of cellphones released this year that have keyboards and screens of a satisfactory size and cameras. Just having good specs won't draw much attention. But if the next NIT can ace the Twitter test and fly the Flash flag, it'll be very much in demand.
cell phone with integrated e-book reader, a 3.5-inch LCD screen featuring a 960×480 resolution, 7GB internal memory, QWERTY keyboard and Opera Mobile 9.5 including AJAX support
For a long time, the NIT's stood out for having a bigger, higher-resolution screen while still being pocketsized. Now the Biblio will hold the title of best-resolution screen. In fact, the more I hear about the N900 and the longer it takes to arrive, I wonder what features it will have that even stand out against the increasingly more capable cellphones.

he mean by this latest (7 minutes ago) observation (OK, it was a tweet):
Dear colleagues at Nokia: You can't delete blog posts. Ever.
Anyone in these forums care to clue us in?
A blog post usually takes me a couple hours to create, from working out what I have to say to cleaning up the version transmigrated to the forums. A bit less when I don't make a graphic too. Being shorter — under 25 words — tweets take me only 5 to 15 minutes to compose.
No room for folderol (even though that's my specialty as a blogger). No visuals expected. One link per item not only suffices but pressures you

to say less; two links I've never done.
And with my hummingbird attention span, I finish a tweet and soon I'm on to the next think. But I have a couple dozen more-or-less-completed blogs that were never posted for want of the final . . . polish I'm inclined to say, but really it's more a final galvanizing-to-life. A lot of work for no result.
There's another reason, which relates to something Krisse posted recently. The world at large is unaware of the NIT's sterling features, and just explaining what they are serves a real use. But the proportion of NIT owners who are developers is so great that the message is distorted in our forums. It's like Oxford or Stony Brook — all university, no kindergarten.
So this thought leads me to two others. Is there any practical way for maemo.org to stream Internet Tablet-related tweets along with its other NIT/mameo coverage? (And any desire for people to see it here?) I leave
this to the community at large to discuss because I won't be writing a blog post about it.
I will, however, be writing about whether Twitter might not be the real internet app that the Internet Tablet was made for. The next one, anyway, the one that fits in your pocket, has a keyboard and 800-pixel-wide screen, and connects to the internet wherever you happen to walking around. Instead of today's thought ("How might maemo.org benefit from Twitter"), maybe the essential issue is how might the Internet Tablet benefit Twitter users.
Twittery graphic from Ryan Putnam at vector.tutsplus.com. Thanks!
This is relevant, I think, because the Internet Tablet — with its 225-pixel-per-inch screen resolution — has always suggested itself as a top-rank ereader.
Is this really viable or am I delusional (as often before about ebooks)?
French ebook maker Bookeen says three different ebook markets are forming: one for education (eg, must have big screen), one for general book reading and one for reading both book and newspaper-y content. These last two, for convenience sake, Bookeen dubs the "book iPod" and the "book iPhone." A "book iPhone" necessarily includes a 3G or WiFi connection, else content can't be kept fresh.
Amazon, of course, straddles all three markets, with its 10-inch Kindle DX and free-3G, thin-as-a-pencil
Kindle 2. Critically, you can read Kindle-DRMed ebooks on an iPhone as well; and Amazon just acquired the Stanza ereader, the hugely successful iPhone app.
It's easy for me to say the Kindle and Stanza apps belong on the Internet Tablet, but who here knows what Amazon will do?
The Nokia N810 fits in your pocket, already runs Flash, has a keyboard and that 800-pixel-wide screen, and includes built-in WiFi. It equals or surpasses the iPhone as an ereader in every respect except one — walkaround connectivity. But Amazon's success hinges in part on the synching between
different ereading devices, and the lack of 3G could blackball the N810 as an Amazon platform.
Next generation then. If people at Nokia think the billion-dollar ebook market could boost the NIT too, I hope they get Amazon on the phone.
Some 2.2 million people are going to be buying an awkward monochrome, monopurpose device like the Kindle — this year and next — just so they can feed their reading habit. Think how many would be happy paying their money for a full-color, Flash-capable, pocket-size Internet Tablet. It's got to be a lot, I think.
The resolution of the Nokia Internet Tablet screen is 225 pixels-per-inch; on the Kindle 2, it's 167 ppi. In a one-inch square, that means there are nearly twice as many pixels on the full-color NIT screen; too, video plays marvelously there. "White" on the 16-level-gray-scale K2 screen is, well, light gray; animation is not possible; and video doesn't even enter the realm of speculation.
Yet the K2's 6-inch-diagonal screen encompasses wonderfully more text than pocket-sized devices. And that is no small thing. In these electronic times I have re-subscribed to the print edition of the New York Times, added magazine subscriptions and now carry NYPL and Montclair library cards in my wallet; still, 90 percent of my reading is done on-screen. The pencil-thin K2 capitalizes on our need for reading to be mobile beyond any previous device.
As for portability, the K2 doesn't just talk the talk. Native-born to the walkaround web, its purchase enables you to browse all the non-moving-pixel parts of the internet from anywhere within reach of Sprint's 3G wireless network, for no cost whatsoever. And buy books at any hour, with immediate access.
In so many ways inferior to an Internet Tablet, but not without charm. However,
that's not a Kindle 2 pictured below, but a prototype of the so-called CrunchPad, Michael Arrington's quest for a $200 "Macbook Air-thin touch-screen machine that runs Firefox and possibly Skype on top of a Linux kernel."
The more you learn about the CrunchPad, the more it justifies the same label put on the K2, "monotasking hardware." It is (or will be) a just-browsing-please tablet.
Good Morning Silicon Valley pointed me to a well-put response at CloudAve by Zoli Erdos, who wrote:
It's not a full-fledged computer, and it should not be. It's 2009 and we no longer have just one do-it-all computer.
A tablet for lazy surfing, a netbook for travel, an iPhone for when we don't even want to carry that much, a full laptop for everyday work, and even a full desktop as the multimedia workhorse: at these price levels we may very well have 5-6 or purpose-designed computers, situational devices. Pick up one, continue on the other as you move around — the switch should be seamless …
Well, I'd sure like a 12-inch screen for surfing … and something that fits in my pocket … and that I can read on while I'm falling asleep … or do some work on … or watch a movie on … Yes, maybe 5 or 6 different devices is what I want.
Another link I tripped over was much older. And so
I just learned today that the CEO of Nokia was being interviewed on YLE (the Finnish national broadcasting corporation) almost six weeks ago when he let drop that, why, yes, Nokia is thinking about making laptop computers.
As Reuters blandly noted, rumors about such a move have been floating around since "late last year," but CEO Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo's on-air "comment was the first official admittance of such plans."
Determining the role that the Internet Tablet will play in the cellphone maker's future has been nigh unto impossible to ken. After all, Nokia will have to have an iPhone simulacrum and having that complicates the tablet position. And if Nokia is going to reverse-traverse Apple's computer-to-phone trajectory, well, there are plenty of complications in separating out the tablet, UMPC, netbook, ultraportable and notebook niches even before you throw phone connectivity into the mix.
What can I say? We live in interesting times.
presentation or a meeting presents special difficulties. As evidence that no good solution exists for the problem, I point to the universal practice of appointing a single individual to keep track of the time who is delegated to conveys the impending end of the allotted time to the speaker. Any time a simple task is done by a human, you know it's not all that simple. But we all know that watch displays are too small, the laptop is occupied presenting slides, a one-minute alert is fine but the speaker has no way to know how close am I to the one-minute mark?
I ran across a big countdown timer at online-stopwatch.com, written in Flash. Running on a Nokia Internet Tablet, the numbers are large enough to read from ten feet away or further. It's a perfect use of the NIT's 4.3-inch screen. Different versions of the program display a stop-watch (counting up), splits, or a circle clockface with a single hand sweeping once around the face whatever time you have entered. You can

In the final season of the decade, Frederick Yates and Thomas Gladstane, managers of the Adelphi, increased their profits and their reputations by presenting works by some of England's most renowned contemporary playwrights in productions that dazzled audiences with their magnificent scenic effects and costumes. The company, which presented 31 plays in 179 performances, included such favorites as John Buckstone, Paul Bedford, Frederick Yates, James H. Hackett, Thomas D. Rice, and Mary Ann Keeley. When the theatre opened on 1 October 1839, the Times wrote "the house now presents a very elegant and commodious appearance" (1 October 1839).
John Buckstone returned to the Adelphi in 1839-40 in the capacity of playwright and actor. Seven of his scripts were produced, including The Christening, Abelard and Heloise, and The May Queen. By far the most successful of Buckstone's plays (indeed the most successful of the decade) was his adaptation of William Harrison Ainsworth's sensational novel, Jack Sheppard. The piece, which opened on 28 October 1839, and ran for 121 performances, was one of seven adaptations which played in London theatres that fall. While critics generally deplored the Ainsworth novel and occasionally denounced its dramatic cousins, Buckstone's version, according to Martin Meisel, was the most successful (Realizations, 271). The Times, after grudgingly acknowledging that the play would be a hit, proclaimed: "The drama is a much better thing than the book, because the adapter has avoided the blunders and absurdities of the [novelist], and extracted with great skill all that is really good in the original" (29 October 1839).
Buckstone's script was acted well by the Adelphi company, according to the available accounts. Mary Ann Keeley took on the breeches role of the criminal, Jack Sheppard, and Lyon (in the absence of O. Smith) played his antagonist, Jonathan Wild. Reviewers frequently singled out Mrs. Keeley for praise. In the Morning Herald, she was cited for the "genius with which she invested" the character. Not everyone was Convinced. John Forster sniffed "Mrs. Keeley, Mr. Yates, and Mr. Bedford display much misplaced power" (Examiner, 28 October 1839), but the Theatrical Observer declared a day later, "the acting was unquestionably excellent." Even more appealing than the performances, however, was the play's spectacular scenery. Created by Pitt and Telbin and based upon on George Cruikshank's illustrations of the novel, the sets and special effects received universal praise. In his description of the first act, the Times critic wrote: "The whole stage of the theatre is sunk about eight or ten feet.... The storm on the Thames is introduced with a very surprising mechanical effect, and the distant view of St. Paul's Cathedral ... is excellent." Even the disapproving John Forster admitted that the "scenic effects are really most surprisingly good." The Times gave the final word when it wrote, "The scenery is superior to anything that has been shown for many seasons."
Works by William Bernard and William Moncrief also took prominent places on the bills in 1839 and 1840. The season opened with Bernard's The Kentuckian, featuring the American actors, James H. Hackett and Thomas D. Rice, and with Moncrieff's Mount St. Bernard; or, The Goldsmith of Grenoble. The latter piece garnered praise for its scenery from all the critics, including the writer for the Theatrical Observer who declared "We have never witnessed more beautiful scenery than is exhibited in this highly interesting piece" (9 October 1839). Bernard's Rip Van Winkle was also revived as a vehicle for Hackett, but it only ran for 10 performances.
Three revivals of plays by Edward Fitzball were presented: The Pilot, Esmeralda, and Nelson, England's Glory. Another old favorite, Douglas Jerrold's Black-Eyed Susan was revived with an appearance by T. P. Cooke. Richard Peake contributed two scripts which featured the acting of Frederick Yates: HB, a farce and The Devil in London, a local color drama. Of the latter, the Theatrical Journal said on 25 April, "notwithstanding all the puff and parade about eighty young ladies being engaged in it, it is positively unendurable ... the eighty ladies dressed in armour exhibited (as happily phrased by a contemporary), one hundred and sixty of the worst legs that ever ambulated on the Adelphi boards" (p. 158).
The Adelphi's prolific resident playwright, Edward Stirling, was not without representation in 1839-1840. His highly acclaimed Nicholas Nickleby was revived for six performances in October and in March, a sequel, The Fortunes of Smike, opened. The latter was praised by the Theatrical Observer as "quite as effective as its predecessor," yet it failed to achieve a long run. Martin Meisel writes that "the original freshness had gone, as indeed, it had from the last chapters of the book [Nicholas Nickleby] itself" (Realizations, p. 64). Despite good performances by Mary Ann Keeley as Smike, Frederick Yates as Mantalini, and Buckstone as Newman Noggs, the show "did not enrich the box office" as its predecessor had (ibid.).
Stirling's Knight of the Dragon, on the other hand, was a spectacle of unprecedented scale and appeal. The production, based upon Ainsworth's The Admirable Crighton, provided an opportunity to display the "armour, banners, costumes, and paraphenalia" recently employed in a tournament at Eglinton Castle. Real horses were also utilized, as was scenery that was described as "more than usually effective and ... [is] perfectly surprising in its effects" (Times, 20 November 1839). The Theatrical Observer reported on 3 December, the managers insured the historical artifacts they used for "3,000 pounds, against fire, at the enormous premium of 3 guineas per cent." It is no wonder that an unidentified reviewer wrote in the fall of 1839 that "Yates has earned a deserved celebrity for producing what are called 'effects'; and often have we seen things done upon the little stage of the Adelphi that put to blush the effects of other managers" (quoted by Meisel, Realizations, p. 251).
The final outstanding production of the 1839-40 Adelphi season was the traditional Christmas pantomime, Harlequin and Mother Red Cap. The Athenaeum praised "its diorama, painted by Telbin ... as one of the best painted displays of scenery" (28 December 1839, 989-90). On January 8, after a two-week run on a bill with Jack Sheppard, the pantomime had brought in receipts that "exceeded in amount those of any week in former seasons" (Theatrical Observer). It is not surprising that the same publication declared on 22 January 1840: "Never were such prosperous times known as at present at this very popular house."
On 6 May 1840, Frederick Yates gave his customary farewell
address to the assembled audience. He explained that the
closing of the theatre three weeks earlier than their license
allowed resulted from the need to rebuild the front wall
of the theatre and the "unexampled beauty of the weather"
(Theatrical Journal, 9 May, p. 139). In a modest understatement,
he thanked his audience for the "very fair proportion of
patronage" given during the season and promised to devote
the summer to finding new attractions. In fact, he began
a provincial tour with his wife, Mrs. Keeley, and Paul Bedford
playing in the Adelphi version of Jack Sheppard. In Bath,
the Theatrical Journal reported, they played to "about
thirty people in the pit and a truly beggarly account of
empty boxes" (23 May 1840).

The Random Ad Machine keeps us in the world of sports, and today we're honoring the oh-so-American of sports, Football. Having survived the lockout, and primed for the start of what promises to be a great regular season, for many teams other than my beloved Bears that is, the glory of Football Sunday's will forever be king—we think, in truth we don't always remember everything that happened…uh…let's move on. So below are some YBIS approved funny NFL ads.
AND If you didn't see Caroline's fantastic baseball post from last week, click here, and watch out for Beickler's Soccer post this Friday.
ok…this next one is cheating…its actually an SNL skit, but this is a blog, so there are no rules. NO RULES. Happy Wednesday everyone! —Ben Malki
Happy Friday! In celebration of Labor Day and the Great American pastime (which is baseball, just to clarify), we at YBIS have collected some of our favorite baseball ads for your enjoyment and entertainment.
New Era gets into the Red Sox / Yankees rivalry in a "Funny or Die" styled ads. Needless to say, Alec Baldwin is still one of the funniest motherf*ers on the planet.
And to bring in another huge baseball nation, a musical number from our fine friends in Japan.
And because I think the words "Stripey No!" will live forever…
You gentleman can thank Rolling Rock for that ode to your manly assets.
And then, of course, ESPN needs an honorable mention here.
And to finish off the article…
More Alec Baldwin. Just because.
Happy Friday!!!!
- Caroline Reilly
The random ad machine is back! and today its got beer on the brain (don't we all?). So without further ado, here are some of our favorite beer commercials.
ok…no a beer commercial, but still damn funny.
Happy Friday Everyone! —By Ben Malki
Last month, the Telegraph published an article, claiming that Germany was now "officially" the Worlds least funny country. Now, as a funny German myself and a man who has had his baggage "randomly searched" by US custom officials, I can confidently say that this "study" is complete rubbish. If you need further proof, look at these Burger King ads by Munich based agency .start titled "Veg City". We expect the Telegraph's retraction and apology forthwith.
-Philip Beickler
Really glad you asked, and due to laptops dying, and job interviews pending, YBIS will be a quck one today. Therefore, here's a link to the best ads from South Africa in 2009. All great stuff here, particularly these two:
This incredible VW Jetta ad:
Cafe Owners Vs. Mama's, because no one brings a country together like..(gulp) BP:
For the rest of the ads, click here.
Happy Wednesday everyone, and here's hoping you don't get the blue screen of laptop death like I did last night.

Building on Caroline's earth day post last friday, comes this little gem from the weekend. The Roots, the legendary hip hop outfit (nee Paul Schaeffer 2.0), Late Night with Jimmy Fallon and Honda teamed up to film this earth day promo. The ad takes on the air of a subtle Honda Civic hybrid commercial, while also serving as a cause marketing piece for the band and the car maker. I personally think Honda did a very nice job of subtly suggesting its green qualities, as well as working in product highlights such as its interactive dash board, and its "econ button" which helps improve the car's fuel economy. Honda did well to not try to hijack the earth day/green message of the ad, and play a strong secondary role in the overall presentation. It also doesn't hurt that the Roots maintain a nice image association despite its move to NBC studios. Good job done by all.

China is a land of a billion consumers, and all of them are just starting to get a taste of brands. But how do we speak to them? Here are a few good ideas.
This random ad machine is dedicated to Subway ads that we love, that is, for those of us lucky to live in this great city.
From Manhattan Storage. Talk about knowing your audience.
Probably my favorite—-this is for grubhub.com
Not sure what to make of this one…
Now, this last link has nothing to do with ads—-but its funny…so here's a link to things you would only ever see on a NYC subway. (god I love NYC)
—Happy Friday everyone
Ben Malki
We've been a bit absent minded lately what with all the holidays, but YBIS will be back on its regular schedule after 2010 turns into 2011, so for the meantime, enjoy your break, and these ads.
—-Happy New Years! —Ben Malki and the YBIS Team.
Holiday season in marketing land means lots of happy people in sweaters,and lots of sap…but this particular Target ad broke that mold and caught my eye this season. Let's give it up for Target putting a new (and funny) spin on a tired angle, while not so subtly hinting that Target is the place for last minute shoppers.
Merry Christmas, and happy holidays everyone! (and for those like me, let's all hope the Chinese food is plentiful, and the movie good).
—-Ben Malki
Inspired by Part 1 of Mike's post on Albert Lasker, the random ad machine (well, maybe not that random) presents us with these gems from cigarette advertising past.
Happy Friday everyone, and uh…don't smoke.
—By Ben Malki
Over the Thanksgiving holiday, GM unleashed this amazing spot on us. The theme is nothing new, you fall down, you get up, it's been done before (such as this Dwayne Wade Gatorade commercial from a few years ago). However, GM didn't simply trot out a somewhat cliché'd message, they trotted out a somewhat cliché'd message with a sly twist.
After the inane discussion about corporate bailouts in this past election, the iconic, yet beleaguered brand waited for the dust to settle before reclaiming the narrative over the taxpayer funded rescue over GM. "We all fall down. Thank you for helping us get back up" the commercial says, alluding to the bailout, showing appreciation for the help they received, and hinting that they are in fact, back. The spot is a clear Brand Attitude play, attempting to jump start positive brand equity for GM, after decades of brand dilution and negative customer feedback.
With Ford leading the way in the bIg 3's modest turnaround, GM's campaign could help launch them back into the national consciousness as a major American company. If their marketing department continues to roll out slick campaigns such as this one, we might just see GM and Detroit rise again.
Ben Malki
As my esteemed colleague was caught by the dreaded Schedule Snarl, I shall be presenting you with some of my favorite ads.

I made this object for a show focused on the concept of the "soft form urn", for a gallery in Seattle that provides alternative ways to memorialize your dead. Consider: Bone China.
I have long been interested in the manifold properties of human hair; it's a surprisingly sturdy textile, akin to rope, and there's a compelling metaphor somewhere in the weak, individual strands being imbued with strength when fashioned into a braid. On the topical funereal tip, I maintain a morbid childhood fascination with the urban legend imagery of hair continuing to grow postmortem: a skeleton cocooned in its own rotting hair. Ahem.
This piece, made of synthetic hair combed into my own, was modeled with an oblique practicality, and replication, in mind. In theory the urn would be made entirely of the hair of the deceased, and the actual cremains would be encased in a pouch made out of a fabric idiosyncratic to them; in this case, a favorite shirt sleeve. In this way, the urn is made entirely of the deceased's belongings.
The cork is a small scale bun secured with bobby pins, which turned out to be funny to me as I fastened it on: "Your last hair do".
Its named, "Crown (bloom is wasted in the ground)", and I made it for my Mom.
You can click thru to read an article about the show and see photos of several other lovely tributes.

You don't have to be a NASCAR fan to have your panties in a twist over driver Kasey Kahne and his asinine tweets accusing a mom breastfeeding her child in his local grocery store of grossing him out. But then again, the chance that the moms he pissed off this week were fans of his sport to begin with shows just what a boob Kasey really is! Didn't his mama teach him the term "you don't poop where you eat"?
Being an athlete means knowing where your bread is buttered. And 31-year-old Kahne makes his living in a sport that's dominated the female market like no other. Picking on something that thousands of ladies do every day was not exactly his smartest move when you consider how many women help pay his bills.
These days, NASCAR estimates its fanbase is split right down the middle between men and women. Compared to a sport like, say, golf, which boasts devotion from just 28 percent of the female population, that's a pretty significant split. So, any guesses why they're drawing the ladies to the track? Hint: it's not to talk about tires and engines. At least not for most of the women, although there are a few gearheads in every group. But for most ladies, it's the drivers themselves who are convincing women to pick up a cute little onesie for the baby with a big race car on the front or shelling out tickets for family day at the track. As the sport's marketing chief told CBS a few years back:
Our drivers are seen as courageous, heroic, down-to-Earth, they're regular guys and our female fan base certainly identifies with that.
Unfortunately, Kahne's tweets show he either didn't get that memo from the higher-ups in the NASCAR organization or he chose to ignore it. Because there's nothing heroic or courageous about a dude picking on an innocent woman and her hungry kid, is there? Kind of makes you feel like he's picking on all of womankind, doesn't it?
Frankly, his tweets were no different from NBA star LeBron James calling a female reporter "retarded" earlier this year and angering the special needs community or former WEC champion fighter Miguel Torres cracking wise about rape a few weeks back. Kahne is essentially a celebrity, and he makes his living based on keeping the fans happy. He needs to think of that before he shoots his mouth off on any topic, be it breastfeeding or politics.
Good athletes are like good comedians. They know their audience. And they chose their words wisely.
Apparently Kahne has apologized -- no doubt because he'd like to actually see someone buy their kid a mini version of the No. 5 Farmers Insurance car sometime in 2012. But is it enough?
Did Kasey Kahne just screw himself out of the support of an important part of the NASCAR fanbase?
Image via Twitter
Unfortunately, I think most nascar fans probably agree with him, so it probably won't hurt him too much.
if he had said she was breastfeeding a baby it would be offencive but if the kid was over a year it could have waited till she got home
Allegedly 57% of Americans find it gross (per Michele Zipps article), so he should have more supporters than not. Makes sense.
This isn't going to effect his career. It's his opinion and he is entitled to it and the people who are all up in arms over this need to get over it....
and @ashja I'm a Nascar fan and I don't agree with his opinion but I respect his right to have that opinion.

It's an exciting time at Central Health and the Austin community! The construction on the new Southeast Health and Wellness center has begun and walls are being torn down. Bartlett-Cocke construction crews are staying busy. Stay tuned to the Latino HealthCare Forum's construction blog for all of the latest updates!
Photos gallery of site construction as of May 2014
Photo galleries of site construction since March 2014
The Southeast Health & Wellness Center is expected to open in October of 2014.
The Southeast Health & Wellness Center is being designed and developed through an intensive community engagement process, with the final meeting held on March 1, 2014.
The new health center will be located at 2901 Montopolis Drive, previously home to the Veterans Administration Austin Outpatient Clinic. The goal of the center is to provide a facility where residents can obtain a full spectrum of health related services, including medical care, behavioral health services, nutrition and wellness assistance, and more. Central Health purchased the property in 2011.
Phase I of the Southeast Health & Wellness Center will provide a range of healthcare services to support the community, including primary care, specialty care, behavioral health care, dental care, radiology, laboratory, and pharmacy.
In Phase II, a number of wellness services are being considered for feasibility and effectiveness, including health screenings, eligibility and enrollment services for health care coverage programs, exercise classes, outdoor activities, a cafe, fruit &vegetable sales, a community garden, a demonstration kitchen, nutritional counseling, and support groups.

MA in Cross-Cultural & International Education
MASTER OF ARTS IN CROSS-CULTURAL AND INTERNATIONAL EDUCATION (MACIE) is a graduate program housed in the School of Educational Foundations, Leadership and Policy (EFLP).
MACIE prepares its graduates to be effective leaders in the internationalization of schools and communities and to be positive facilitators of cross-cultural understanding. MACIE prepares global educators who are able to:
• lead in internationalizing curriculum;
• foster international educational partnerships, and
• infuse education policy and practice with cross-cultural awareness.
We define cross-cultural and international education as the examination of education from diverse perspectives in international, transnational, and global contexts. The topics that students address in this program transcend national boundaries.
The program connects cultural and international understanding with educational theory and practice through a unique combination of courses from several disciplines at BGSU. Students construct the academic basis for their program from select courses in the College of Education and Human Development and other colleges on campus. The students then apply this academic foundation to a practical cross-cultural/ international internship experience. Students have participated in a variety of internships in formal and non-formal settings, including international sites in China, South Africa, Vietnam, Chile, Costa Rica and Belize, and domestically with Yup'ik students in Alaska, refugee organizations in Colorado, Washington and Texas, and Mexican migrant populations in Ohio. Students complete the MACIE program with comprehensive examinations or a master's thesis.
Send e-mail to firstname.lastname@example.com or contact: MACIE secretary at 419-372-7377.

As I sat and wrote this poem,
I was grateful for my cozy home.
I started praying on my knees,
And suddenly I could write with ease.
I am sure, that if you pray,
He'll be there for you each day.
He'll show you your talents and your calling,
And when you are down, He'll catch you from falling.
When I'm praying on my knees,
I know it's Him I'm going to please.
By writing these poems and spreading the Word,
He knows when they're read,
His voice will be heard!
I hope He makes you smile today!
I know it happens if you pray!

Thomas Sowell: Who shut down the government?
This is not a matter of opinion. You can check the Congressional Record.
But the whole point of having a division of powers within the federal government is that each branch can decide independently what it wants to do or not do, regardless of what the other branches do, when exercising the powers specifically granted to that branch by the Constitution.
Perhaps the biggest of the big lies is that the government will not be able to pay what it owes on the national debt, creating a danger of default. Tax money keeps coming into the Treasury during the shutdown, and it vastly exceeds the interest that has to be paid on the national debt.
None of this is rocket science. But unless the Republicans get their side of the story out — and articulation has never been their strong suit — the lies will win. More important, the whole country will lose.

presented by Sylvester Stallone
United Artists, 1976
CAST Sylvester Stallone, Talia Shire, Burgess Meredith, Carl Weathers, Burt Young
DIRECTOR John G. Avildsen
PRODUCER Irwin Winkler, Robert Chartoff
SCREENWRITER Sylvester Stallone
This sleeper hit of 1977 starred a virtually unknown Sylvester Stallone in his first produced screenplay. Inspired to write the film after seeing the 1975 fight between World Heavyweight Champion Muhammad Ali and underdog Chuck Wepner, Stallone was touched by Wepner's "stifled ambition and broken dreams," a major theme of the film. The film won the Academy Award for Best Picture and went on to inspire five sequels, each starring Stallone. A statue of Rocky at the top of the steps of Philadelphia's Museum of Art continues to inspire fans who emulate the triumphant scene from the movie.
