Best Of :: La Vida
What better way to enjoy a margarita (or several), a basket of chips and salsa (or several) and maybe even more, than on the twinkly patio at the Old Town Tortilla Factory? This longtime favorite is a little ritzier than your average Mexican dive, but a little less plastic than some of the neighboring Scottsdale joints. We love to kick back on the patio weather permitting and sample the bar's extensive tequila menu.
We love the art that celebrates Das de los Muertos, or the Day of the Dead the enormous papier-mch skeletons, the smaller scenes that depict the dead doing everything from writing at the typewriter to performing surgery in the operating room. But damn, sometimes that art can be expensive! So when we want a quick, sweet (but warning not edible) Day of the Dead fix, we head to the Willow House, where we can find a beautiful (in its way) sugar skull, made deep in Mexico and decorated with the traditional brightly colored sugar frosting and shiny tinfoil, for $4. On a recent trip to Willow, we also found a lovely cardboard Jesus air freshener to hang in the car.
The members of the Border Film Project Rudy Adler, Victoria Criado and Brett Huneycutt were smart enough to hand thousands of disposable cameras to immigrants and Minutemen. Some of them were smart enough to send them back, and SMoCA was smart enough to incorporate the results into a full-blown exhibition. We commend them all for creating a much more realistic glimpse of the border than most of us will ever get.
In the Southwest, "authentic" Mexican furniture isn't hard to find. Even big-box stores have hacienda collections these days. But that little "hecho en Mexico" sticker doesn't always mean much when it comes to quality. Authentic (not "authentic") handmade furniture and imports are much harder to come by. Fortunately, Bellas Artes de Mexico lives up to its name, making it our pick for best Mexican imports store. Walking into this family-owned furniture shop feels a bit like walking into the home of a 16th-century conquistador. The place is filled with beautifully hand-carved tables, doors and wardrobes with details so intricate it feels like they must open up to reveal some south-of-the-border Narnia. Bellas Artes is owned by Cristina and Felipe Guzman, who import furniture from their family's well-known furniture shop in Guadalajara, Mexico. The family's woodworking ability is clearly the star of the show the mesquite tables are breathtaking, and one of our favorite pieces was a Last Supper scene carved from one giant piece of pine but the store is also good for hand-painted ceramic dishes, traditional tin mirrors, and random, brightly painted knickknacks.
You don't have to go south of the border to find great Mexican pottery at least not south of the U.S. border. Just south of Arizona Mills mall is a cozy little brick storefront overflowing with clay pots and colorful planters painted in shades of burnt orange and turquoise. Inside, shelves are brimming with imported goods from Mexico and Latin America. There are ceramic lizards to crawl down your garden walls and a selection of handmade pots that dwarfs those of the gardening departments at Home Depot and Lowe's. There's a bit of a language barrier for non-Spanish speakers, but there are usually a few young translators around to help bridge the gap. Besides, the only question you'll really need to ask is Cunto cuesta? (How much?), because once you find a Mata Ortiz pot for less than its manufactured equivalent, you won't even dream of going somewhere else for Mexican home decor.
From roughhewn pine benches to massive armoires covered in wrought-iron spikes that look more like torture devices than entertainment centers, this North Valley warehouse has everything to make su casa exude rustic charm. La Casona specializes in high-end custom rustic furniture, which is hard to find even in most so-called authentic Mexican stores. A custom dining table with mesquite legs and padded leather chairs can set you back $10K, but we think it's worth it for an heirloom piece tailor-made for your space. Don't worry if that's more than you paid for your car, you can still find something that won't break the bank. The affordable stretched leather equipal tables, along with colorful Talavera pottery, tin mirrors and hand-painted folk art, will make your home feel like a permanent fiesta.

Ratings for Dr. Jeffrey E. Galpin
Dr. Galpin has been my doctor for over 25 years. When I have lived out of the state or country, I never questioned the effort or cost to get to him because he has been the ONLY doctor I have found that genuinely cares about his patients. He has NEVER fallen asleep on any visit I have had with him; however, if he did, I wouldnt blame him because he pushes himself beyond any other physician I have ever seen despite his own physical challenges, when he doesnt feel well or has been up all night researching or caring for a patient. As for the waiting, years ago, he was supposed to cut back on his patients for his own health, he cut down his office size by 2/3rs and despite his attempt to cut back, his patient list continues to grow because he always puts his patients first. I drive in traffic anywhere from 1.5hrs- 4 hours each way to see him and honestly, when I go, I expect to wait and I do so with a pleasant attitude knowing that I am going to see a doctor who will treat me with respect, not just throw some pills at me and never take the time to know "my" situation and treat me so that I get better. For those who complain about the wait, I say, "go find another doctor and stop bitching"so the rest of us patients will benefit! His care and diligence have saved my life (literally) more than once. I have tried to see other doctors for a cold when I couldnt get to doctor Galpin, and ended up with pneumonia and pluresy-- but when you have autoimmune, you soon realize these other doctors DO NOT get it and pills dont always fix the issues. I have no problems with the blood tests because when Dr. Galpin does his evaluation of your particular issue, he is looking at ALL the symptoms and how they impede your individual condition-- something MOST doctors just do not do. I get so frustrated at the RUDENESS of new patients who come in and act as if the world revolves around them-- if they only understood the ingredible gift Dr. Galpin has...not only his tremendous education but his kindness & selflessness.
I have been seeing Dr. Galpin for 20 years. The only continuing non-issue is the wait. He is an infectious disease specialist so if you need a GP go elsewhere. If you have issues and need a Dr. House then you'll understand why the wait is a non-issue. He's properly managed my HIV and Hep C for decades and now I'm Hep C free. He never throws me out of the exam room until every one of my concerns are addressed and that's why he runs behind. I expect the patient after me knows this just as I understand the same about the patient before me. About these reviews of him falling asleep, NEVER seen it. Lies if you ask me. I see him every 2-3 months and weekly when I have an active problem and it's never happened. Finally I don't know enough about all the labs he orders to speak about the necessity. I am not a doctor. I had over 20 vials of blood taken when I last had a nasty infection and what I know is I'm better now and good that he takes/learns more than less. That's why I have insurance.
Worst experience I've ever had in a medical office. I waited over 3.5 hours past my appointment time for a physical. Waited so long that the X-ray techs and lab techs all went to lunch. So, I had to come back a separate time to get my bloodwork/x-rays done. Then he insisted I come back for a follow up to discuss results, when every other Doctor just calls you. It's a 100% covered service and I get a bill from him for over $300. I call to fix it and get sent back and forth between billing (off-site) and his office. Then they tell me it's a coding issue and the Doctor does his own coding. So, I ask to speak with him and he refuses. I finally call my insurance carrier who was able to resolve the problem. Then Dr. Galpin's office calls me and says they fixed the billing issue but that I am no longer weclome as a patient. Quality!
To the people who said he fell asleep, he found out that he had sleep apenea and had that fixed. I told him about the reviews falling asleep and that's when he told me. He's doing a good job on me. I went to a dermatoligist and he was telling me it was something that it was not. As soon as Dr Galpin saw me he knew what was wrong ans sterted fixing the problem. This Dr knows what hes doing so if you need help , he's the man.
Dr. Galphin absolutely saved my sister's life. We've been seeing him for ten years after the doctors in our state told us that she should just eat right and exercise as there was no hope that she would live more than a couple of years. Dr. Galphin assured us that he would find an answer AND he did! She is alive and very healthy today...even became a nurse. To those of you who have negative reviews, perhaps you're just one of those people no one can please.
Unless you have an active infectious disease, don't waste your money or your time with this doctor.
Usually behind schedule, but he is very well versed in infectious disease, and truly cares about his patients.
this is an AWFUL crook doctor! do NOT GO TO DR.GALPIN unless you want to be scammed out of hundreds of dollars. first of all like the reviewer noted below, he falls asleep during examination. Im not sure if this is related to his health ailment, but maybe this is not the right profession if that is the case? Not only is it unprofessional how can you fully assess your patient and his/her condition if you are constantly falling asleep? Second, he performs unnecessary lab tests EACH AND EVERYTIME u see him! even if you are perfectly fine (as the other reviewer noted as well) why does he do the SAME tests for everyone? its ridiculous. i thought it was just me but it appears this is common practice for him. He also owns the lab which does the tests (labcorp) which means more money in his pocket. He is a dishonest money hungry doctor who is looking to scam patients. DO NOT GO TO GALPIN! he does not stay awake during consults & he uses lab tests to scam u!
Dr. Galpin would be a better doctor if he stayed awake during exams. He always has to do lab even if your doing good. My friend and I both go to Dr. Galpin for different reasons and we compare notes, he orders the same test for both of us. I think it may be because of the extra insurance money he collects. He collects the portion your that your insurance doesn't cover before he even submits the claim which is ILLEGAL. I have been demanded to pay money or not be seen by the doctor through Robin his biller, she will talk to you like your trash, she demands payment immediately and will tell you in front of everyone. I have had money owed to me (for overpayment) by the doctors office and have to wait until I get my E.O.B.'s and then call the office and request a refund.
caring.... competent .... education current.. diagnostic skills great

The Forbidden Planet 5
By: Legacy.com Staff
4 years ago
Anne Francis (Wikimedia Commons/MGM Studios)
Two years after Anne Francis's death Jan. 2, 2011, at age 80, she's still remembered best for the groundbreaking sci-fi film she starred in more than 50 years ago, Forbidden Planet. It's not a comment on Francis's talent or career – she had plenty of other great roles that her many fans love – but rather a testament to the movie's staying power. It's a classic, and Francis was a big part of its lasting appeal.
Today we're honoring Francis's life with five facts you may not have known about her most famous film.
1. The plot of Forbidden Planet is loosely based on William Shakespeare's The Tempest. In The Tempest, a father and his daughter are stranded alone on a remote island for many years. The father, a magician, conjures a storm to lure his brother to the island, where fortunes are changed, the daughter falls in love, and the father is stripped of his powers. In Forbidden Planet's version of the story, it's a remote planet they're stranded on, and the father is a linguist rather than a magician. But many of the basic plot elements remain.
2. Just as in The Tempest, the daughter in Forbidden Planet – Francis's character, named Altaira – falls in love with one of the crewmen from the ship. The actor who plays him? It's none other than a young Leslie Nielsen in a rare serious role, years before he became known as one of the kings of the screwball comedy.
3. Where The Tempest features a magical spirit, Forbidden Planet has a robot. At $125,000, Robby was a wildly expensive prop for 1956 and was the first movie robot that was more than a "tin can on legs." Seven feet tall, the robot prop had a person inside manning controls – but this didn't stop it from frequently falling over (contemporary jokes cast Robby as a drunk). Even if you've never seen Forbidden Planet, maybe you'll recognize Robby from another movie – the robot was used again in 1957's The Invisible Boy and in 1984's Gremlins.
4. Robby the Robot took sci-fi filmmaking to a new level, but the high-tech prop wasn't the only groundbreaking aspect of Forbidden Planet. The film's music was something totally new – the first movie score composed exclusively of electronica. Composers Bebe and Louis Barron were among the first to create electronic music, using some of the earliest synthesizers to make strange and unearthly sounds. No "real" instruments were used in the score, giving the music a techie feeling that would become standard in future sci-fi movies.
5. The movie's original title was Fatal Planet, and it was never expected to become the genre-defining classic it is. Originally conceived as a lightweight piece for one of the B-movie studios, it was pitched to MGM – a pitch that was expected to be a lost cause. But studio heads liked what they saw and gave the filmmakers a starting budget of $1 million, which later was nearly doubled. This unlikely support allowed the film's creators to craft the classic we know and love today – in the process, creating a blueprint for the entire sci-fi genre… and helping to ensure Francis's status as a fan favorite.

The Senate on Thursday endorsed a decade-old practice of letting voters affiliate with a party and vote the day of a primary election, but not without some resistance.
For the last 10 years, voters who are not affiliated with any political party can show up at the Republican primary, join the party, and vote in that primary. But the law allowing that provision is due to expire this year. If that expired, a voter would have to register with the party 30 days or more before the primary to cast a ballot in the GOP runoff.
Both the Republican and the Democratic parties support extending it, although HB262 would not affect Democrats, who do not require voters to be affiliated with the party in order to vote in the primary.
Sen. Todd Weiler, R-Woods Cross, argued it makes it easier for voters with an independent streak to have a say in who a party nominates and, in most cases in Utah, goes on to be elected.
But some Republicans want the state to stay out of the process the parties use to pick candidates.
Sen. Mark Madsen, R-Lehi, argued the bill could enable Democrats to tinker with the Republican nominating process, and Sen. Margaret Dayton, R-Orem, said the parties should not dilute their process simply because of low voter turnout.
"Certainly it's not a burden for them to affiliate so they can vote. There needs to be some voter responsibility on this," she said.
HB262 received preliminary Senate approval by a vote of 24-4 and could receive final passage and be sent to the governor in the coming days.

DENVER -- Marley Coffee has added Smile Jamaica to its single-serve RealCup line. Defined by 20% Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee and 80% Rainforest Alliance Certified coffee, it's the first blend of the prized beans authorized for sale in North America, according to Marley Coffee.
Certification to create and sell the Smile Jamaica blend was provided by the Coffee Industry Board of Jamaica following Marley's U.S. launch of its Jamaica Blue Mountain coffee. The roaster reportedly distributed about 30.5 tons (61,000 lbs.) of JBM coffee within the last year, with sales anchored by distribution into key retailers like Safeway.
Christopher Gentles, outgoing director general of the Coffee Industry Board of Jamaica, said Marley's placement of its coffees onto North American supermarket shelves justified the board' s decision to grant the certification to the company. "Marley Coffee is well qualified to create the first Jamaican Blue Mountain blend for consumers," he said.

(Reuters) - Former Inter Milan and Newcastle United striker Obafemi Martins has signed for the Seattle Sounders, the Major League Soccer club said on Friday.
The 28-year-old, recalled to Nigeria's squad last week after being left out of their victorious African Nations Cup campaign at the start of the year, bought himself out of his deal with La Liga team Levante on Monday.
According to Spanish media, his contract with Levante was worth three million euros (2.5 million pounds).
Martins joined the Spanish club at the beginning of the season on a free transfer from Russia's Rubin Kazan and is their top league scorer with seven goals.
The speedy forward should form an effective strike partnership with U.S. international Eddie Johnson at the Sounders.
Seattle's average league attendance last year was 43,144, making them by far the best supported team in the league.
"The move is consistent with our promise to the fans," majority owner Joe Roth told the team's website (www.soundersfc.com).
"Our supporters are the best in Major League Soccer and deserve a team that competes each and every year. Obafemi is an electrifying talent who has international experience at the highest level."
Martins has also played in Germany for VfL Wolfsburg and was on loan with Birmingham City when he scored the winning goal in their shock 2-1 English League Cup final victory over Arsenal at Wembley in 2011.

|Summary: GNOME Configuration Database System
GConf is a configuration database system for storing application preferences. It supports default or mandatory settings set by the administrator, and changes to the database are instantly applied to all running applications. It is written for the GNOME desktop but doesn't require it.
* Sun Mar 11 2012 firstname.lastname@example.com - Update to version 3.2.5: + Fix an obvious memory error from the last release. * Thu Mar 08 2012 email@example.com - Update to version 3.2.4: + Don't migrate vendor settings to the user's dconf database (bgo#671581). + Store daemon data in XDG_RUNTIME_DIR (bgo#652289). + Don't crash during sync if gconfd shutting down (bgo#670033). + D-Bus backend: Add GCONF_DEFAULT_SOURCE_PATH support (bgo#664031). + Don't attempt to migrate settings with non-existent schemas. + Update the GIO cache after 'make uninstall' (fixes 'make distcheck'). - Drop gconf2-fix-crash-sync-dbus.patch, fixed upstream. * Mon Feb 27 2012 firstname.lastname@example.com - Add gconf2-fix-crash-sync-shutdown.patch: fix crash during syncing is done if gconfd is shutting down (bgo#670033). * Mon Feb 13 2012 email@example.com - patch license to follow spdx.org standard * Tue Nov 15 2011 email@example.com - Update to version 3.2.3: + Fix assert introduced in 3.2.2 (bgo#662991). - Changes from version 3.2.2: + Avoid crash when there is no reply to messages in gconf_engine_notify_remove (bgo#661372). + Clean-up ORBit vs DBus logic. - Changes from version 3.2.1: + Fix "Configuration server couldn't be contacted" errors (bgo#659835). + Build fix for -Werror=format-security. + Updated translations. - Drop gconf2-no-wrong-drop-db.patch: fixed upstream. * Thu Oct 20 2011 firstname.lastname@example.com - Add gconf2-no-wrong-drop-db.patch: partial fix gconf server not correctly answering to clients after a while, because it believes it can drop databases while they're being used. This is only a partial fix, as there's another patch to fix a similar issue on SIGHUP. It's safer to take just this part, as it's not intrusive at all while the other one can be risky without more testing. * Mon Sep 26 2011 firstname.lastname@example.com - Update to version 3.2.0: + Updated translations. * Tue Sep 20 2011 firstname.lastname@example.com - Update to version 3.1.92: + bgo#655954: allow setting gconf values to the schema defaults + Updated translations. - Drop gconf2-fix-default-mandatory.patch: fixed upstream. * Tue Sep 06 2011 email@example.com - Add gconf2-fix-default-mandatory.patch: fix setting default or mandatory values for key, after dbus migration.

This is meant as a tool to ease the transition from GConf to GSettings/DConf, not as a permanent solution. To use this backend with GSettings, set GSETTINGS_BACKEND=gconf in your environment. Note that you still need to convert your GConf schema to a GSettings schema and install it + Add a utility to migrate existing user settings from GConf to GSettings. For details, see gsettings-data-convert(1) + Add boxed types for GConfEntry and GConfValue + Add introspection support + Plug a memory leak when ignoring default values - Drop gconf2-crash.patch: fixed upstream. - Remove gnome-common BuildRequires and call to gnome-autogen.sh. * Fri Jun 04 2010 firstname.lastname@example.com - Added support for translation-update-upstream (FATE#301344). * Fri Apr 23 2010 firstname.lastname@example.com - bnc#598867: Add gconf2-crash.patch to fix crasher with corrupted ~/.gconfd/saved_state ... * Thu Apr 08 2010 firstname.lastname@example.com - Provide a %gconf_schemas_requires macro that is similar to %gconf_schemas_prereq, but doesn't use the deprecated PreReq. - We keep the old macro to enable a slow migration. * Tue Mar 30 2010 firstname.lastname@example.com - Update to version 2.28.1: + Make the defaults mechanism find the right polkit action + Remove (worse than) useless signal handlers for SEGV, FPE, etc. in gconfd + Avoid a crash when gconftool-2 can't read the db + Make gconf compile with -DGSEAL_ENABLE + Updated translations. - Remove en@shaw translations on 11.2 and earlier. * Thu Dec 17 2009 firstname.lastname@example.com - Add baselibs.conf as a source * Fri Dec 04 2009 firstname.lastname@example.com - Add gconf-sanity-check and gconf-polkit subpackages, to optimize dependencies of the main package. - Fix self-obsoletion of gconf2-doc. * Tue Sep 22 2009 firstname.lastname@example.com - Update to version 2.28.0: + Updated translations. * Wed Aug 26 2009 firstname.lastname@example.com - Update to version 2.27.0: + Make gconf_value_encode/decode public api + Add SetSystemValue and SetMandatoryValue functions to the defaults service for future use in gconf-editor + Allow overriding the default config path + Port defaults menchanism to PolicyKit 1.0 + Updated translations. - Drop gconf2-polkit.patch. * Tue Aug 11 2009 firstname.lastname@example.com - Add gconf2-polkit.patch to build against polkit1. - Add gnome-common and call to gnome-autogen.sh. - Adjust gconf2-pk-default-path.patch because of gconf2-polkit.patch. - Replace PolicyKit-devel with polkit-devel BuildRequires. * Sun May 17 2009 email@example.com - Update to version 2.26.2: + Avoid assertion failures in gconf_client_lookup callers * Wed May 06 2009 email@example.com - Update to version 2.26.1: + Tracing improvements + Track fully-cached directories in the client + Improve performance of the markup backend + Make openldap support optional + Fix errno usage + Updated translations. - Update gconf2-sabayon.patch to apply without fuzz. * Tue Apr 28 2009 email@example.com - Change the rpm gconf macros to move the .schemas files of packages built with those macros from /etc/gconf/macros to /usr/share/gconf/macros.

Gov. John Kasich pushes ahead with Medicaid expansion
(Columbus) - Gov. John Kasich's plan to expand health care coverage for low-income Ohioans has been dealt another blow.
A top Republican in the Ohio legislature says the Senate's version of the state budget won't include the governor's proposed Medicaid expansion.
"I do not believe Medicaid expansion is on the table as it relates to this legislation of the budget," said Senate President Keith Faber.
Faber says he's pushing for changes to the Medicaid program instead of the wide-ranging expansion plan. He repeatedly used the phrase "Medicaid reform" instead of expansion during a Wednesday news conference.
Lawmakers in the Ohio House already had stripped the Medicaid proposal that's a key element of President Barack Obama's signature health care law.
Kasich proposed going forward with the expansion in his two-year state budget plan. He says it's a way for the state to recapture Ohio taxpayers' federal money.
Just over 350,000 Ohio residents would be up for coverage if Medicaid expansion goes into place in 2014.
Faber says they've created a group to look at the issue, possibly in a separate bill.
"I don't care how they do it just do it. That's all I want to see done," said Gov. John Kasich who sees some "good signs" with the idea.
Kasich told reporters he knows big things don't happen overnight.
"I'm just going to keep at it because I think it's the right thing for our state," he said.

Fifty things that are bound to happen or not at Saturday night's Utah-BYU game:
1. Utah's cornerbacks will get toasted for substantial gains on more than five plays.
2. BYU's cornerbacks will get toasted for substantial gains on more than 10 plays.
3. Travis Wilson will pass for over 300 yards.
4. Taysom Hill will pass for more than 200 yards.
5. BYU will throw the ball more against the Utes because … it has to at least try.
6. Hill will chuck screwballs over the head of or into the turf in front of or off to the side of at least three open receivers.
7. Hill will still complete better than 33 percent of his passes.
8. Hill will successfully squib throws to open targets because Kalani Sitake will risk leaving those targets open, committing extra assets to contain Hill's running.
9. Despite all that, Utah's defense, which hasn't allowed a single rusher to pick up 100 yards in any of its first three games, will allow two against the Cougars.
10. Hill will run for triple digits but just barely.
11. Jamaal Williams will outrush Hill.
12. Wilson will be Utah's leading runner.
13. Every time Kyle Whittingham is asked, either before or after the game, about Williams and Kyle Van Noy, he rather condescendingly will say they are fine players, but will go on emphasizing that the Utes face those kinds of athletes every week in the Pac-12.
14. Van Noy will unleash three seasons worth of frustration on Utah, hauling down the thunder and proving to Whittingham that the coach does not face KVN's kind of athlete every week in the Pac-12.
15. Utah will miss Reggie Dunn.
16. Bronco Mendenhall will talk in incomplete sentences during the postgame, often leaving out the subject, saying things like: "Played with effort and intensity. Tried real hard. Proud of our players. Hate all you media dopes. Don't know what to say. Crap."
17. Utah fans will hurl a thousand profanities at BYU players and pour imaginary beer on the heads of at least one Cougar player's parents.
18. BYU fans will quote Max Hall 20,000 times.
19. Neither offense will hit 50 percent on third-down conversions.
20. BYU will score nearly every time it gets into the red zone.
21. Hill will wish he had a completely healthy Cody Hoffman.
22. Hoffman will play, will hate on his nagging hamstring, and will wish he'd gone to the NFL.
23. Dres Anderson will get over 100 receiving yards and catch at least one touchdown pass, maybe two.
24. BYU will be troubled by a couple of bad snaps.
25. Andy Phillips will clutch up, channel his best Franz Klammer, and kick three field goals.
26. Justin Sorensen will hit a couple of kicks, too, and find some redemption after last year's block.
27. Trevor Reilly will lead the Utes in tackles.
28. Hill will throw a pick.
29. Wilson will throw one, too.
30. There will be a key fumble.
31. There will be a key special-teams play.
32. A controversial call will affect the game's momentum/outcome.
33. BYU will wear old-style royal blue jerseys and pants.
34. Utah will wear all red.
35. Mendenhall's defense will be more aggressive than Sitake's.
36. Alongside Van Noy, Alani Fua will rudely introduce himself to Wilson, getting a couple of sacks.
37. The Utes will go ahead and try to contain Hill, but not pressure him as much as they should.
38. At some point, the Cougars will remember the antiquated notion that they do, indeed, have traditional tight ends on their roster.
39. Mendenhall and Whittingham will act as though this game is just another game.
40. Mendenhall and Whittingham will act as though they like and respect one another.
41. Mendenhall and Whittingham will be lying.
42. Robert Anae will use his offense at times in the way Air Force used to use its offense: Run the ball and look to hit on a devastatingly big pass play.
43. Bubba Poole will be given a chance to shine.
44. Ammon Olsen will get in for at least one play, maybe multiple plays.
45. There will be some razzle-dazzle, some trickeration by both teams.
46. Stupid penalties will be a factor.
47. By the end of the fourth quarter, everybody on hand will realize how lame-brained it is that Utah is choosing to play Fresno State instead of BYU over the next two seasons.
48. The game won't end until zero dark thirty.
49. BYU will win.
50. Half these predictions will be wrong.

'Diaper Bank' Provides Nappies to Poor Moms
The Most Basic Thing a Baby Needs Aside from Love?
A clean diaper
It's something that only new parents worry about: diapers.
And because new parents can't do without them ... now there's the Diaper Bank of America.
"The issue of diaper need is something that a lot of people don't think or talk about but it is one of the things that causes a great deal of stress."
But the recession now affects even something as basic as diapers.
"About 30% of mothers struggle with the issue of diaper need."
Colleen Shaddox says nationally there are 150 diaper banks and one here in San Antonio. She says diaper banks are like food banks and serve the underserved.
"Maternal depression and stress is a negative determinant for child development."
"Diapers can be a pretty big part of a families' budget."
Diaper banks accept donations of money --- or diapers.

I might have to get this 'just' to see of it worx! $.99 is nothing for the entertainment I could get outta this!!! LOL!
Also, this would be cool if it could do panoramic pictures in the same way...
Ha!!! It actually worx!
Don't make fun of my AWESOME appearances in the vid!!!
Somehow converting the video to an image that can be viewed by moving the phone around (like street view in google maps) would be really cool.
Just the uniqueness of this app alone makes it well worth the 99¢.
I recently mounted my tv the same way and made a custom mantle to put wires in and a cubby in the wall for electronics.
It was 'very' fun hanging the TV Mount cuz it required me to use a hammer drill to sink concrete screws into the brick which is about 2" behind the faux wall
If it did a panoramic picture, I would buy it. Cool app either way.
I've never looked into it but maybe there's a way to install a new chair rail that'll hide wires so you can hide your sub somewhere....! Or go wireless! It looks like going up the wall into some Crown Moulding wouldn't work cuz of your nice wood beams.
That's a really ingenious app but no way will I risk scuffing my phone over something like that
I know it may take some usage before you may notice scuffing but the aluminum is very sensitive (based on experience from scuff reports during the initial release of the iphone 5)
Either way very cool app for those that don't care much about taking care of their phones
So there is no way that your phone would accidentally fall over during this spin thing and damage itself?
If you guys are only buying it to see the iPhone rotate, you know you can just stand the iPhone up and perform test vibrations from the settings.
