Brovsky Named MLS Humanitarian of the Month
Montreal Impact Defender and Colorado Rush alum Jeb Brovsky has been named the MLS Humanitarian of the Month for March!
In January, Jeb and his newlywed wife Caitlin traveled to Guatemala with HANDS, a non-profit organization Jeb has been a part of since his time at the University of Notre Dame. While in Guatemala, Jeb spent his time handing out soccer balls and t-shirts and speaking out against domestic violence, which is quite common in Guatemala.
The award marks the second time Brovsky, 24, has won the MLS Humanitarian of the Month award.

It wouldn't bother me so much if hot didn't come our lukewarm and warm didn't come out at just barely warmer than cold."In this case your only real option is to deal with the taps in place or make the incoming water hotter. It's more expensive, but an easy fix, to turn up the thermostat on your water heater, but that may also have safety implications since your hot tap water will be much hotter so you run a higher risk of scalding. One solution I saw that helps with a situation like you describe is to get a hose valve like the kind you'd put on an outside garden hose. Put it on the cold water tap and attach the cold water hose for the washer to it, and then half-close it so that the hot line has higher pressure into the washer. You'll get more hot water in the mix as a result so your warm wash will be hotter.If full-on hot comes out lukewarm (as in just opening the hot water tap provides only tepid water) then you need to see why your hot line isn't delivering hot water, and mostly that'll be a job for a professional plumber.Virg
We had trouble with hot water in our washer because it turned out the hose leading into the washer was blocked.

I'm willing to bet that if you have hot water elsewhere in the house, that this is the reason for no hot water in your machine.
I've tried the bun and twist like you mentioned, Willy Nilly, and they never work because I have so much hair. The elastic will secure part of the hair and the rest of it just starts unravelling.

Picking a steak for your barbecue can feel much like a crapshoot. While most of us are familiar with the traditional, pricey cuts at the meat counter of the local grocery store, the "value" cuts — those under about $14 a kilogram — are often puzzling.
Ancient grains, with their distinctive flavours and exceptional nutritional profiles, are experiencing a surge in popularity right now.
An organized thicket of tomato vines, at least thumb-thick, winds down the aisles of the Paradise Hill Farm greenhouses just outside of Nanton. Hanging low, tomatoes in varying stages of ripeness — green, blush, red — cluster together.
With spring now in full frolic across Alberta, bringing with it warmer temperatures and longer hours of daylight, it signals a seasonal change in our palate, too.
The sight of a herd of goats in the heart of cattle country usually elicits little more than a sigh and a 'Oh, how cute!' But for goat farmers like Merna Gisler, those animals represent a thriving industry.
Dan Majeau's family has been raising pigs in Alberta for four generations. Jaco Poot came to Canada 16 years ago from Holland to start his own pig farm here.
A group of Alberta producers hopes a "meat and greet" showcase at a Kelowna winery will lead to more plates of Alberta meat being served at some of the Okanagan's finest dining establishments.
There is something deeply thrilling about seeing a herd of bison in Alberta. You imagine a time before fences, when life was lived according to nature's timetable, with greater respect for the plants and animals that sustain us.
It's spring, and giddy with its prospects, Hundred Bar & Kitchen chef Andrew Cowan, CITY television host Ryan Jespersen and I head out to Kaiser farm to talk lamb. Amid the bleating of the babies, and the charming evidence that, indeed, there is a black sheep in every family, we could imagine the Kaiser clan — Martin, Helene and son Stefan — are in this business for the love of woolly ...
Alberta is known as beef country, but as it turns out, we also do well with the most popular meat in the world: pork. "Alberta pork is probably the best quality in the world, that's what our Japanese customers have told us," says Jim Haggins, chairman for Alberta Pork. Though the strength of our dollar has meant more imported American pork in our supermarket coolers, Alberta-produced...
The Southwest Edmonton Farmers Market held its grand opening May 18, 2011. Hundreds of people attended the market, located in the parking lot of Lillian Osborne High School at 2019 Leger Road. It's open every Wednesday evening from May until the end of September.
Marion Popkin knows she is up against a formidable opponent. She calls it the Easter Bunny Syndrome. As president of the Alberta Rabbit Producers Association, Popkin says the notion that the animals are too cute to eat is her group's biggest market barrier.
The food we eat defines and unites us.
A lot of people think you have to buy from farmers markets, or small butcher shops, to shop local. Cattle rancher Dave Solverson – a big beef producer near Camrose – says think again.
The Edmonton Journal has won a first place prize from the International Newsmedia Marketing Association for its 2010 Grey Cup supplement project. The paper won the award in the category of Public Relations and Community Service.
Back in the day, being The Big Cheese meant you were a VIP, period. But cheese itself? For decades, Canadians loved Velveeta and Cheez Whiz. Few dairies in Alberta attempted artisan cheese, and when they did, they couldn't sell it. But now, thanks to the efforts of a handful of dedicated people — cheesemongers, cheese makers and a growing audience of cheese-loving customers — artisanal...
Baked chevre salad, tarted-up grilled cheese sandwiches, crepes with spinach and gouda — even poutine; they're all perfect showcases for Alberta-made artisan cheeses.

Comes a Horseman
Drama, Romance, Western
Old man Ewing (Jason Robards) owns a ranch right next to the ranch of Ella (Jane Fonda). This is a source of two problems: Ewing wants to gobble up most of the land around the two ranches and also wants Ella's ranch; secondly, when Ella was too young to know better, she went to bed with the man, which, many years later, she considers to have been a grievous error on her part. A third problem arises when oil companies begin pressuring both of them to allow drilling on their land, and Ewing won't allow it -- on his or anyone else's land. Before long, war-veteran Frank (James Caan) enters Ella's life and helps her fight to save her land and her sanity, with added assistance from Dodger (Richard Farnsworth), an old local who knows the score.~ Clarke Fountain, All Movie Guide

The Promise of Research
Every year in the United States, more than 390,000 Americans die of lung disease, making it the third leading cause of death in the country. Lung disease is responsible for one in seven deaths in the U.S. and close to 34 million Americans are living with chronic lung disease such as asthma, lung cancer and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Medical research holds the promise of a better future for people with lung disease and their loved ones.
Since 1915, researchers funded by the American Lung Association have made significant contributions to the fight against lung disease. Thanks directly to this research, premature babies are less likely to die from respiratory distress syndrome; death rates for tuberculosis are at an all-time low and individuals young and old benefit from improved treatment options such as lung transplants, oxygen therapy and genetically-based medicines.
Research in the American Lung Association of the Upper Midwest
Each year, we raise nearly one million dollars to fund the best and brightest researchers in the country.
This money funds our Asthma Clinical Research Center (ACRC) in Chicago and Indianapolis, part of the nation's largest network of clinical research centers dedicated to asthma treatment research. The ACRC network conducts large clinical trials to find solutions on how to improve asthma management and treatments.
Basic, Clinical and Behavioral Research
The American Lung Association also supports basic and clinical research through training and "seed" grants for beginning researchers, which play a critical role in attracting and retaining talented scientists who are focused on lung research. Many of our young researchers go on to become award-winning researchers in the field of lung disease.
Meet Our American Lung Association of the Upper Midwest Researchers
GREGORY MARK GAUTHIER, MD (University of Wisconsin, Madison)
Biomedical Research Grant Worldwide, dimorphic fungi (fungi that have two different forms) are the most common cause of invasive fungal infection. These fungi grow as mold in soil and produce infectious particles called spores. When the soil is disrupted, spores enter the air and can be inhaled into the lungs. Once inside humans' warmer lungs, the spores convert into round, budding yeast to cause pneumonia. Dr. Gauthier and his team will examine how these fungi sense temperature and convert between mold and yeast forms, allowing these organisms to cause human infection. He will attempt to uncover the genes that regulate the switch between mold and yeast in the fungi. The results have the potential to help identify novel antifungal drug targets and drugs which are desperately needed.
RUCHI GUPTA, MD, MPH (Northwestern University, Chicago)
Social Behavioral Research Grant Asthma among youth in Chicago is a serious problem. Dr. Gupta will implement and evaluate an updated version of the Student Media-based Asthma Research Team (SMART) program in two Chicago public middle schools with varying asthma prevalence. One school is located in a community with high asthma prevalence and the other in a community with low asthma prevalence. Past research has shown that teens with asthma may experience social pressures which contribute to poor asthma management and severity. The updated version of SMART will hopefully empower students to identify, understand and address the factors impacting asthma in their community. If the program is found to be effective, it is hoped that a standardized implementation toolkit can be developed to be used in all Chicago public schools and beyond.
GEE LAU, PhD (University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Champaign, IL)
DeSouza Research Award Funded by the American Lung Association of the Southwest Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA) is an important pathogen infecting the lungs of patients with cystic fibrosis and other forms of bronchiectasis. Dr. Lau and his team have determined that PA secretes a toxin called pyocyanin, which causes oxidative stress and alters immune response in diseased lungs, causing an exaggerated inflammatory response and worsened mucus overproduction. His team is now examining whether pyocyanin inactivates a protein known as FoxA2 that inhibits the excess mucus secretion in bronchiectatic and asthmatic lungs and if so, identify the determinants behind it. It is hoped that this research will lead to the development of novel therapeutics that maintain FoxA2 function and improve morbidity and mortality.
NARSA MACHIREDDY, PhD (University of Illinois, Chicago)
Biomedical Research Grant Acute lung injury (ALI) and its most severe form, acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), are common pulmonary syndromes affecting approximately 190,000 patients per year in the United States. Oxygen supplementation is widely used to support critically ill patients with ALI/ARDS; however, it can cause cell death and exacerbate preexisting lung injury and inflammation. Dr. Machireddy and team will attempt to target the pathway r(bZIP) transcription factor, which is critical for the stimulation of genes involved in the protection against toxic and oxidant insults and limits oxygen-induced lung injury and inflammation in critically ill patients.
JOSHUA MEZRICH, MD (University of Wisconsin, Madison)
Biomedical Research Grant Research has shown that polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) may be responsible for aggravating asthma through the activation of the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR). This activation leads to the generation of a pathogenic population of T cells that generates IL-17, which in turn, worsen airway inflammation in some models. Dr. Mezrich and his team believe that this represents a new, very specific mechanism for airway inflammation in response to pollution. Their goal is to prove this mechanism is dependent on the AHR in T cells in murine models of airway inflammation, to identify whether PAHs are causing this effect and also show that they can block or at least reduce this inflammatory response by modulating the response of the AHR on these T cells.
VALERIE PRESS, MD, MPH (University of Chicago, Chicago)
Social Behavioral Research Grant Research has shown that a majority of patients with asthma and COPD do not use their respiratory inhaler devices correctly and, therefore, are at risk of not being able to get the medications into their lungs. While the hospital setting is a good opportunity to identify patients who need education on how best to take their medicines, limited staff resources can be a barrier. This research will determine if a video-based education module called INVITE Home could be effective as a learning tool to educate the proper use of respiratory devices in the hospital or at home.
JESSICA SIEREN, PhD (University of Iowa, Iowa City)
Lung Cancer Discovery Award The risk of lung cancer is significantly higher in people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), independent of their smoking history. While chronic inflammation is thought to play a role, it is not known which people affected by COPD are most susceptible to developing lung cancer. Dr. Sieren will use computed tomography (CT) scans to generate anatomic measurements of lung tissue for each lobe of the lung, as well as each airway, down to the very small airway branches. These measurements can be used to identify computed tomography biomarkers for lung cancer risk assessment to guide targeted detection and treatment strategies.
GUTIAN XIAO, PhD (University of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh)
Lung Cancer Discovery Award Lung cancer's high death rate is largely due to late diagnosis and the fact that lung cancer easily becomes resistant to chemotherapy. Research has shown that PDLIM2, a widely found protein molecule in the lungs, functions as a tumor suppressor and may also play a critical role in the response of lung cancer to chemother-apy. Dr. Xiao and his team will seek to establish PDLIM2 as a diagnostic and predictive biomarker of human lung cancer, as well as a therapy for lung cancer.
GUOFEI ZHOU, PhD (University of Illinois, Chicago)
Biomedical Research Grant Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a devastating disease associated with progressive and irreversible destruction of the lung architecture. The cause of IPF remains largely unknown, even as the annual incidence of IPF is rising. It has been suggested that patients with IPF express increased levels of a certain tumor suppressor protein [VHL] in centers of scarring. This research will attempt to address the regulation of VHL and the causal role of VHL in pulmonary fibrosis.

Your tablescape is gorgeous! I stopped by after reading your sad, sad comment on Housewife Savant's blog...and I quote: ahem "what the hell is a Funyon?"
Oh dear Abraham Lincoln! She doesn't know what a Funyon is??? Okay, well, they're probably not everyone's bag, or cup o' tea. :)
They are chips that are shaped like onion rings and supposedly taste like them. I, however, do not think they taste like onions. But I lurve though.
Anyway! I just had to come and tell you what a Funyon is! If you don't think I'm super weird after this comment, you could send me your address and I will send you some Funyons! You have to at least try them once! : )

Hello Lorie~ We all have our blooper moments, before that final shot. my first (and last) tablescape mistake was trying to get a shot of the dinner with the decor(of course) while my poor hubby stood starving...waiting (patiently) for me to capture that perfect shot. Then...finally...handing him his plate that was a cold gelatinous mess. Lesson learned...serve hubs first (while it's hot) and send him toward the TV, then work on the photo. There are times I've purposely left the flatware out, for creative license, when it doesn't match the theme.
You're charming tablescape has a nice ambiance. I no doubt your family will enjoy their dinner at your Fall table.
Sweet wishes,

Treasures of Southern Spain and Portugal
Stay in historic inns in Spain and Portugal and discover the spirit of Iberia's rich Roman and Moorish past.
Tour Details
This was my first Smithsonian Journeys tour and I loved it. I would recommend it highly to anyone who is interested in history, art, architecture and culture of Spain and Portugal."
Joan B.
- A Tailor-Made Journey to India and Nepal
- The Forbidden City: Official Spaces and Private Quarters
- Journey from Bangkok to Bali: Following the Spirits
- Haydn Seek
This tour is specially designed for a small group of 16 to 24 Smithsonian travelers and offers outstanding travel value. Prices include airfare, airline taxes, fuel surcharges, and departure fees.
An exciting history of explorers and invaders is etched across the gentle landscapes of the Iberian Peninsula. Hilltop citadels reign over ancient olive groves, village lanes lead to striking Roman sites, and elaborate cathedrals and palaces feature architectural styles that speak of seafarers and Moors. Spend eight nights in historic inns called paradores in Spain and pousadas in Portugal—including a medieval monastery, historic fortress, stately palace, and old town hall—as your Smithsonian expert illuminates the spectacular monuments of an illustrious past.
In Portugal, you'll tour Lisbon, visit the National Palace of Queluz, and enjoy a traditional musical performance in Evora, a World Heritage site. Highlights in Spain include such World Heritage sites as lovely Cordoba, Seville's renowned palace (or Alcazar), Granada's Alhambra, Moorish Toledo, and the Roman ruins at Merida. Conclude in sophisticated Madrid with visits to the richly furnished Palacio Real and the world-famous Prado Museum.
Days 1-2 — U.S. and Lisbon
Depart the U.S. for Lisbon. Upon arrival the next day, enjoy an afternoon at leisure, then gather for a welcome dinner. (D)
Day 3 — Lisbon and Queluz
On a tour of Portugal's lively capital city, visit the waterfront area of Belem. See the medieval Belem Tower, the Jeronimos Monastery, and the Monument to the Discoveries, which commemorates Portugal's storied explorers. In the nearby town of Queluz, visit the National Palace, the former residence of Portuguese royalty now used for state occasions. (B)
Day 4-5 — Evora
Travel through a landscape of olive groves, vineyards, and wheat fields en route to Evora, capital of the Alentejo region. Relax at your pousada, one of Portugal's finest, and enjoy a performance of traditional music that dates to the Middle Ages. Spend a day exploring this university town, which is a World Heritage site. A morning walking tour highlights the well-preserved Roman and Moorish heritage, while the afternoon is at leisure to enjoy the city on your own. (2B,1L,2D)
Day 6 — Merida, Spain and Carmona
Travel east through a countryside checkered with the ruins of fortresses to the Spanish border town of Merida. Upon arrival, explore the Roman ruins and then enjoy time at leisure for lunch and personal interests. Continue to Carmona and your parador, a dramatic 14th-century Arab fortress. (B,D)
Day 7 — Carmona and Seville
Today visit nearby Seville, the splendid Moorish capital of the Andalusia region and considered by many to be the cultural capital of Spain. A walking tour stops at the famous cathedral, the world's largest Gothic building, and features the delicately ornate Moorish Alcazar, or Royal Palace. Return to Carmona late this afternoon and dine at your parador this evening. (B,D)
Day 8 — Carmona and Cordoba
Travel to Cordoba, once a major European center for art, science, and culture during the Middle Ages. Here, explore a rich legacy where Moorish, Christian, and Jewish cultures mingled successfully. After touring the highlights, including the magnificent Mezquita Mosque, enjoy free time to explore on your own, then return to Carmona. (B,D)
Days 9-10 — Ronda
Travel south to tiny Ronda, scene of the last great rising of the Moors against Ferdinand and Isabella. The town's white-washed houses, and your parador (Ronda's original town hall), are perched dramatically near the edge of a plunging gorge, spanned by an 18th-century arched bridge. This afternoon, visit a local olive farm. The next day, following a brief walking tour, your afternoon is free to explore Ronda and its environs. Dine both evenings on regional specialties at your parador. (2B,2D)
Day 11 — Granada and Ubeda
Granada, the former stronghold of Moorish Spain, is set in the foothills of the snowcapped Sierra Nevada. The city's undisputed highlight is the Alhambra, the extraordinary palace of Spain's last Moorish rulers. Sprawled across a hilltop above the Darro River, the Alhambra commands breathtaking views of the city below. This afternoon, tour this splendid citadel and the Generalife, the palace's acclaimed gardens. Continue traveling north to Ubeda and your next parador, a former palace dating to the 16th century. (B,D)
Day 12 — Toledo and Madrid
Toledo, capital of medieval Spain, still looks much like it did when the artist El Greco painted here in the 16th century. See Toledo's most important sites on a guided tour, including the massive Gothic cathedral. Continue to Madrid, arriving late in the afternoon. (B)
Days 13-14 — Madrid
Conclude your journey in the monumental and dignified capital city of Madrid. During a morning walking tour, learn about the history of the vast Plaza Mayor and the opulent 18th-century Royal Palace. Enjoy free time to view the outstanding collections of the world-class Prado Museum, including the art treasures by Spanish Masters Velázquez, El Greco, and Goya, and its important collection of Flemish and Italian masterpieces. Spend your final day enjoying this vibrant city as you wish. Tonight bid adios to Spain at a farewell dinner. (2B,1D)
Day 15 — Madrid and the U.S.
Depart Madrid for the U.S. on individual flights. (B)

The Community of Disc Golfers and About All Things Disc Golf
Hello Guys and Gals,
I was wondering what is your favorite disc, What do you love about the disc and is there something you would change if you could... Could be anything turn, fade glide, speed, plastics, doom, wing, bead, flight plate, color and so much more!!!
Views: 15
Gateway Magic. Although i love my drivers like my preds and forces, and my Z buzz, my magics have taken so many strokes off my rounds. I used to be a decent putter, but the magics just felt great in my hand, and they are very straight flying. magics were a real step up from challengers. My putting has gotten alot better, and my rating would be nowhere closte to what it is now without them.
they should put real magnets in the rim of the discraft magnet . just don't put the basket too close to a light pole or fire hydrant . oh and don't throw it around any moving cars , you might loss it .
Surge 150. I like it because I can throw it farther than anything else. The only thing I'd change is 'd make it a little more stable.
I really love my R-Pro Boss - it gives me more distance than any other disc I own with a nice predictable finish. I love the grip I get on the plastic - but it is the least durable plastic I have thrown. I can't use the disc on tight wooded holes because hitting a tree chews the disc up something fierce.
always loved the xs, very predictible and at 172 can huck it hard in heavy winds ... now i carry 4 valks - a 155 champion for the very straight long shots, 2 stars for flicks (1st ever flick ace) other for hyzer sliders to get tight in and super useful dx 167 that just flies long with the very dependable s turn down daunting wooded fairways. i threw a buddie's 4 years ago and swore off them but today i love em ...... good for an old man
Champion Boss no doubt about it... great turnover disc for long range side arm drives and great turnover disc for backhand as well i broke my own distance record with this disc just a few months ago i hit 587ft. in a 10 mph crosswind... the only thing i would change is give it a little bit more glide....
My blue FLX Challenger that was my first ace disc. If I could change one thing about it, I would have the person who found it call my number that's on the bottom!!

The young Queen avidly recorded details of her wedding to her 'precious Angel' in her journal, including descriptions of her wedding attire and her whirling emotions. On the evening of her wedding she confided:
'My dearest dearest dear Albert… his excessive love and affection gave me feelings of heavenly love and happiness, I never could have hoped to have felt before! Oh! This is the happiest day of my life! 10 February, 1840
As the exhibition's curator Edwina Ehrman writes, Queen Victoria's selection of a creamy white satin court dress for her marriage was a 'defining moment in the history of the white wedding dress in Britain'.
Queen Victoria's choice was a political decision. Very much a woman in love, the 20 year old Queen wanted to make her wedding vows as a future wife, not as the monarch. For this reason she shunned the crimson velvet robe of state (which she is wearing in the image below) in favour of a court dress, which she wore not with a crown but a wreath of artifical orange blossom. Political savvy also guided the Queen's choice of Franz Xaver Winterhalter as the couple's favourite portrait painter.
We would like to invite you to join visiting art historian Eugene Barilo von Reisberg for a fascinating adventure in royal iconography as he explores the hidden meanings and semantic connotations in Winterhalter's portraits of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert, and unpicks a secret language of visual symbolism in the details of dress, jewellery, and accessories that transmit messages of power, sovereignty, love, and devotion.
Eugene Barilo von Reisberg is a Melbourne-based arts writer, curator, and blogger. His expertise on Franz Xaver Winterhalter (1805-1873), a nineteenth-century German-born international court portraitist, is widely recognised, and he has contributed numerous articles and presented papers on the artist in Australia and internationally. He is currently pursuing a doctoral thesis on the artist at the University of Melbourne. He is visiting to Wellington to take part in the Australian and New Zealand Association of Art History conference being hosted by Victoria University.
To book a ticket to 'So Like & So Beautifully Painted: Portraits of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert by Franz Xaver Winterhalter' contact the Friends of Te Papa. Unveiled opens the following weekend – tickets are currently on sale through the website.
In the meantime I can recommend a visit to The 'other' royal weddings, an entertaining and informative blog by Royal Historic Palaces. It includes a video interview with curator Dr Joanna Marschner on Royal wedding dresses through the ages, a post on 'the worst wedding of all', and delves into the history of cake!

How to add an external power supply
If you regularly use electrical equipment outdoors, such as a lawmower or hedge trimmer, an external power point will make life easier and safer. Importantly, it should feature a residual current device (RCD) that will help to protect you from the risk of fatal electric shock.
Turning inside out with outdoor lighting effects
Warm summer evenings are all about spending time outdoors. Once dusk falls it's often time to move the party indoors. But have you ever thought of bringing the indoors out?

Why Do People Like Mockbusters?
The mockbuster is a part of horror and sci-fi film that has become very popular over the years. This is a part of film that entails concepts from one film being ripped off in some way.
This has been associated with many horror and sci-fi films over the years. Mockbusters have been created as a means of trying to make money off of more successful films. These include Starcrash and Battle Beyond the Stars to try and ride off of Star Wars and Tales of the Gold Monkey to mooch off of the Indiana Jones series.
This has especially become popular in many horror and sci-fi circles as companies like the Asylum continue to churn them out. From movies like Transmorphers and the Da Vinci Treasure to Paranormal Entity and Snakes on a Train, these mockbusters have certainly become very popular. Even animated mockbusters like the Little Cars and Tiny Robots are being targeted to families.
So why is it that people like mockbusters as much as they do? There are many interesting reasons why they are fans of these films.
They Love the Bad Nature of Films
Many mockbusters fall into the "so bad it's good" category based on how implausible some of these films may be. They may also be poorly made from a technical or dramatic standpoint. Sometimes they might use artistic licenses that make them copy off of certain films a little too closer than needed.
This is not to say that these films should be used as frameworks for the ways how movies are to be made in the future. They are just simple entertaining films that are rather unique and appealing to have a bit of fun with at large.
They Want To See International Takes
Many mockbusters are made in countries on the other side of the world. Turkey had been notorious for making many cheap versions of blockbusters. The country's version of Star Wars has been notorious for its lack of quality. Meanwhile, Italian director Bruno Mattei made a living off of mockbusters like Hell of the Living Dead, Monster Shark and Violence In a Women's Prison.
These international takes on films are not necessarily interpreted as authentic representations of international cinema. They do make for some interesting looks into the ways how other countries treat their cinematic endeavors though. It can really be fascinating in its own right to see how these may be arranged in some rather unique forms.
They Just Want To Be Entertained
Some people focus more on the entertainment aspect of these films above all else. That is, they want to enjoy films that they don't really have to think much about. They only want to have a good time if anything. It is no wonder why so many people look for these films when it comes to finding ways to have fun and watch something of interest to them.
To some people the concept of the mockbuster is not all that attractive. To others the mockbuster is a very unique form of entertainment regardless of the fact. One thing that is for certain is that there is a good audience for mockbusters.read more

Z-71 Off Road GMC Sierra 1500 SST Lift Kit, 2014-UP 4WD, 2.25"F/1.75"R w/ Uniball Control Arms
Z-71 Off Road 2014-UP Silverado/Sierra 1500 4WD 2.25" SST Lift Kit with Uniball Control Arms
Quick Overview
MUST READ THIS FIRST For Trucks With Factory Aluminum Control Arm Suspension ONLY. For Use on Z71 Off Road Model Trucks - No Push Button 4x4. Includes Fabricated Steel 1.0" Uniball Upper Control Arms. Max Lift - 2.25"F/1.75"R - Max Tire: 33". Not for use on 2007-2013 GM 1500 trucks. Does Not Work With AWD Denali or non-Z71 Off Road Trucks.
Additional Information
|Install Video
|Other Info
|Installation Instructions
ReadyLIFT is proud to introduce an SST Lift Kit system With Uniball Upper Control Arms for the 2014-UP 1500-series Silverado/Sierra 6-lug Z71 Off Road 4WD Trucks with Factory Aluminum Suspension - You must check to see if your truck has steel or aluminum suspension. For a steel suspension version of this kit you want "69-3447"
(NOTE: Does Not Work With AWD Denali Trucks - Will NOT work with 2007-2013 trucks. Not for use with Non-Z71 Off Road trucks - For all 07-14 Z71's it is imperative that they measure vehicle prior to purchase. There must be a 2.25" to 2.5" difference between the front and the rear.
The 69-3445 2.25" SST Lift Kit is designed for use on 2014-UP Z71 Off Road trucks with the OEM aluminum alloy construction front suspension. Z71 Off Road front suspensions have a taller front strut than non-Z71 or standard Z71 trucks. In order to achieve a lifted ride height that is comparable to our popular 4.0" lift height, less front lift is required. By lifting the front 2.25" in front, Z71 Off Road trucks will sit at the same lifted height as a non-Z71 truck with our 4.0" lift kit. This system significantly increases ground clearance while allowing for tire sizes up to 33" on aftermarket wheels. The most common tire size for this application is 33x11.50. 20x9.5 with 5.25" backspacing requires no fender modifications. 17x9 +0 offset on a 285/70R17 will fit with no rubbing. With a 295/70r17 minor trimming/modification required.
For information about tire and wheel sizes please visit the ReadyLIFT Tire Sizing and Calculator Page.
The ReadyLIFT 69-3445 SST Lift Kit will raise the 2014-UP Silverado/Sierra 1500 Z71 Off Road 4WD trucks 2.25" in front thanks to our overwhelmingly popular CNC-machined billet aluminum strut extensions that bolt directly to the top of the factory strut. Unlike some kits which require you to cut off your strut studs or break the top hat seal which are irreversible modifications, our rugged strut extensions require No Modifications to be made to the strut in order to install the extension. This guarantees the strut will maintain the factory integrity as well as drastically reducing installation time.
The highlight of this kit is our tough and rugged fabricated steel upper control arms with 1.0" PFT-lined uniball pivot bearings. These uniball pivots are the strongest pivot (joint) you will find on the market anywhere and include an exclusive custom machined aluminum seal cap to keep dirt and debris out. This is ideal for those in snow or sandy areas. But that's not all! This kit also includes newly designed UCA inner bushings and new washer backing spacer sleeves which greatly prolong the life of the bushings. If you plan to off road your truck or drive in aggressive road situations, this is the kit you want!
The second important product that makes this kit possible is our CNC-machined 6061-T6 billet aluminum differential drop brackets. When raising the front suspension the differential must be lowered to maintain front axle and CV angles. Readylift has engineered a differential drop system that cuts installation time in half compared to other similar kits. Unlike other differential drop brackets made from steel plate that bend and can cause CV failure, our CNC-machined brackets cannot ever bend, break or cause any driveline problems when using 4WD mode. That is guaranteed! Accompanying our differential drop brackets is a thick powdercoated plate steel skid plate that utilizes the factory attachment locations for ease of installation while providing tough differential protection when off roading.
To lift the rear of the Silverado/Sierra pickups this lift system includes 3.0" OEM-style cast iron rear lift blocks and u-bolts. Our 3.0" rear lift blocks include the correct pinion angle correction and axle locating ears for perfect fit and performance. This block replaces the factory 1.25" rear block for an increase of 1.75" which will provide approximately .5" of rear to front rake. A slight rake is helpful for towing or hauling.

At ReadyLIFT we design our lift systems for proper fit, and that includes tire and wheel fitment information. Our goal is always to provide the maximum tire size that will fit without any clearance issues. We do not recommend that you install a larger wheel/tire than what we recommend. However should you decide you want to run a larger tire such as a 305 or similarly larger, the fender lip (front fenderwell) will have to be modified. This image below illustrates how some customers have modified their fender lip and liner to provide necessary clearance for 305 tires.

Mark Webber concedes pushing the boundaries cost him during qualifying for the United States GP as he lost pole position to his team-mate...
Mark Webber concedes pushing the boundaries cost him during qualifying for the United States GP as he lost pole position to his team-mate.
Webber had been leading the Red Bull racer until until the final seconds of Q3, however, a scruffy final sector meant he lost time.
Those lost tenths proved costly as Sebastian Vettel pipped him to pole position by 0.103s.
"Sometimes you are happy when you give your best and you are up there on the front row but that one slipped through the fingers," he said.
"But well done Seb, he put three sectors together, I don't did two and a half.
"It's not satisfying when you do that, not your job to do that obviously, pushing the boundaries."
Speaking about his run in qualifying, he highlighted a mistake in Turn 19 and 20 on his final lap as the reason for finishing second.
"I didn't think I had done enough, I needed to improve," he said.
"The first part of the lap was very good, I was happy but didn't quite get 19 and 20 as I had wanted.
"If I had just repeated what I did initially in Q3 it probably would have been enough but I tried to squeeze a bit more out and it was easy to unload the car a little bit in these conditions."

Music Interviews
For Sean Lennon, Music Is Not A Solo Act
Originally published on Sun January 20, 2013 5:29 pm
Sean Lennon, son of John and Yoko, is drawn to musical collaboration and repelled by hydraulic fracturing.
The 37-year-old just released two albums: the improvisational project Mystical Weapons and the score to the independent film Alter Egos.
Writing For Film
Lennon only appears in Alter Egos for a few seconds; the majority of his efforts went into writing the music, which he had to do twice. He describes the film as a "kitsch comedy about superheroes," and his first attempt at the music took a similar vibe.
"But ultimately, when we laid in that music over the footage, it really didn't work ... because the scene was already kind of a joke, and then the music was sort of indicating that it was a joke, so it just felt less funny," he tells Jackie Lyden, host of weekends on All Things Considered.
It was getting down to the wire, and Lennon had to basically improvise new music based on the footage. This time, he took a new approach.
"The more serious the music got, the funnier the character's performance seemed," he says.
Getting Together
His other album, Mystical Weapons, was also done communally. A single improvisational jam session with Greg Saunier of the band Deerhoof turned into a larger project.
Lennon says jazz has been a big influence for him, and it comes through in Mystical Weapons.
"There's a textural connection in terms of just wild, free, funk jazz," he says.
Lennon acknowledges there is another trend in his art: working with others.
"I do probably prefer collaborating to being alone in a sort of vacuum," he says.
It might be inherently part of his personality, but Lennon says he was always aware his father wanted to write with others, too. His mother, on the other hand, prefers to work alone.
"I know that my dad always felt maybe a little bit lonely, in terms of the songwriting element," Lennon says. He grew up thinking collaboration was the way to go.
'Active Activism'
In a more recent overlap with his parents, Lennon is becoming more of an activist.
"I'd always sort of avoided active activism because ... it's a difficult thing to do and not come across like someone who's speaking about something they don't really have any business speaking about," he says.
Then an oil company came to the town in upstate New York where his parents have property.
"It was one of those situations where people come to your own land and your own house, your family's house," he says. "It sort of motivates you to try to do something to protect your own land."
Lennon has been gathering signatures and support in hopes of influencing New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who has until Feb. 27 to decide whether the state can use the drilling process known as "fracking."

Madeline Stuart
"San Simeon, a.k.a. Hearst Castle, is one of the most extraordinary homes in the U.S., perhaps the world," offered designer Madeline Stuart during the AD100 celebration. "It's unbelievable for many reasons. [William Randolph Hearst's] architect, Julia Morgan, was a woman—not a very common practice at that time. She was expected to incorporate elements that Hearst was finding virtually on a daily basis. Day after day, he would send these missives, telegraphs that would say, 'Found ceiling in monastery. Stop. Need to incorporate. Stop.'"
Stuart is seen here at the event with Iris Apfel.

Vicente Wolf
Designer Vicente Wolf was pleased with his surroundings. "For a contemporary modern building, this is one of my favorites," he said. "The Seagram Building is so fresh and timeless. And in Paris, I love l'Académie française. It's curvilinear and small enough to be my home."

Salman Rushdie
On his way into the storied Ziegfeld Theatre to see Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom, author Salman Rushdie mentioned that British architect Richard Rogers is a pal. "I've always been inspired by his work. He did the Pompidou Center with Renzo Piano, the Lloyds building in London, and now he's working in Shanghai. I'd like to see a great Richard Rogers project in New York." Luckily for Rushdie, Rogers's Three World Trade Center will be completed in 2016.

Lindsay Ellingson
At the Snowflake Ball, Victoria's Secret model Lindsay Ellingson named a monumental fountain in Dubrovnik. "The Onofrio fountains by Onofrio della Cava," she said. "I was on vacation there two summers ago. It's so beautiful. And the IAC building in New York by Frank Gehry. I love my neighborhood because I see the reflection of the sky and the water in it."

Brie Larson
Short Term 12 star Brie Larson, who won Best Actress at the Gotham Awards, offered a nod to the Parthenon. "It's mathematically perfect, appealing to the eye, and such a solid structure," she noted. "It also inspired so many architects to create things, such as Ludwig Mies van der Rohe's Barcelona Pavilion. Frank Lloyd Wright also borrowed those proportions."

Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje
At the Gotham Awards, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, who plays Nash in the upcoming remake of Annie, said he was currently shooting the film on location in New York. "We shot in the Guggenheim the other day. It's still so contemporary. And we just shot in the new World Trade Center building, which is astonishing—not only the view, but how it is built. You feel like you're in Alice in Wonderland when you're up there."

Richard Linklater
In the press room at the Gotham Awards, Before Midnight director Richard Linklater pared his choices down to three highly individual artists and architects: "Oh, man, the big architects in my life are: in Vienna, Friedensreich Hundertwasser (a painter turned Expressionist architect); in Barcelona, Antoni Gaudí; and I kind of like Dr. Seuss . . . I like his designs."
Linklater is seen here at a screening of his film, Before Midnight. Also pictured is Friedensreich Hundertwasser's Hundertwasserhaus, in Vienna.

Vlado Ilievski's club career might have taken a downwards spin in the past couple of seasons, but he is always there when it comes to the national team. Ilievski is not a player who catches the eye with some amazing skill but he is very consistent in everything he's doing and is the type of a guard a lot of coaches would like to have. He controls the game calmly and is the perfect conductor of putting a coach's ideas into play on the court. He will always be a hero in his country after hitting the three-pointer that won the quarter-final against EuroBasket hosts Lithuania two years ago. He brings a lot of experience to his team, having played in almost every top European league. Ilievski originally played at his first EuroBasket tournament back in 1999 as a teenager.

The Cuenca Crime (Crimen de Cuenca)
In a gross miscarriage of justice, based on an actual event, two men are falsely accused and convicted of the murder of a missing shepherd from a small Spanish village. A despotic district court judge and a right-wing congressman orchestrate the trial. The two men are subjected to brutal torture by sadistic guards to exact a confession of guilt. The men serve 6 years of a 15-year prison term before they are released, and they later discover their alleged victim is alive and well in a neighboring village. The 15-minute torture scene is harrowing, as is the subsequent passage of the exhuming of human corpses.~ Dan Pavlides, All Movie Guide

Nice and comfortable Socks
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I've had these out for a couple 90 degree days and these socks are very nice. They feel light on my feet and dissipate heat nicely.
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Stay in place, keeps feet nice and cool, great height as well.
Matthew Wiegand
Fabric is bunchy
- Familiarity: I returned this product before using it
I wanted to love these socks because they're from Assos, so shouldn't all their apparel be flawless. These left a lot to be desired. The fabric bunched in the stripe running up the front as the material is significantly thicker than the rest of the sock. I am used to very form-fitting, streamlined socks and these did not cut it. Sorry Assos, a miss.

POLYWOOD Adirondack Chair Recliner
There's nothing like relaxing in a POLYWOOD® Adirondack chair!
POLYWOOD® Adirondack chairs are known for their comfort, but a recliner takes it to a whole new level! With its adjustable seat, there's no time like the present to enjoy a few quiet moments, read the paper or enjoy a glass of lemonade. Beautifully styled and extremely durable, these chairs look great season after season.
What makes POLYWOOD Adirondack chairs different? POLYWOOD is a solid dimensional plastic lumber created in part from post-consumer plastic bottle waste, such as milk jugs and detergent bottles. The high-density plastic ingredients are cleaned, processed and compounded into a rigid board stock material that is remarkably sturdy and impervious to pests and the elements.
Sit down, ease back and enjoy your reclining POLYWOOD Adirondack chair. It's ideal for a porch, backyard patio or deck. It's 100% maintenance free and will not rot, splinter or decay. You'll never need to be paint it, and it cleans up easily with a little soap and water.
Chair dimensions: 37 ¼"H x 28 ½"W x 35" D

Hopefully someone out there with more free time than myself is running background checks on the editor and staff so that they can dig up some embarrassing information on them.
How does a burglar NOT use this information to pick easier targets?

Poor reading comprehension compounded by hyper-defensiveness could make for a difficult life. My thoughts go out to anyone suffering from this double-whammy.
This would not be a story if the newspaper stopped at "doing the footwork and put it all together."
This is clearly an example of a newspaper with an agenda. They are trying to score points in an imaginary "guns versus us" contest by trying to lead their readership into believing that their neighbors could plot the next Sandy Hook massacre.
It's dangerous; it's uncalled for; it's stupid.
Yes it is public information. Again, journalists, as the gatekeepers of information, have to decide what is the public benefit by a release of information. In this instance, they want their readers to think the way they do. Which is not a benefit to the public, but for the newspaper's ego.
Well well well....looks like the chickens......have come home......to roost.
Maybe they should just declare the office building a gun free zone, or get another law passed.....stupid bastards. I wonder if they will publish the names and addresses of the guards they hire to protect them
Fat, drunk and stupid is no way to go through life
