Is it a lion!? Cthulhu? Mutated squid? An alien? And what does Slusho have to do with all of this? The Cloverfield hype machine has really been working overtime on the internets. In the past, net hype hasn't translated into big box office. Maybe J.J. Abrams has found the winning formula, cause there hasn't been a good monster-destroys-a-city flick in ages. Those "Godzilla" and "King Kong" remakes didn't do squat for me. I came across an insightful article on the viral marketing campaign here.

Television just became a little less interesting... "The 4400" (and "The Dead Zone") got axed this week and the series finale of "Journeyman" aired on Wednesday. Both shows (never got into "Dead Zone") were fun rides with obvious appeals -- note to Moon Bloodgood: no more time travel shows! -- and are probably headed for the Sci-Fi Channel's weekday marathons. "Heroes" sophmore slump and the plummeting ratings of the once skyhigh "Bionic Woman" didn't exactly inspire confidence in genre tv. In other news today, still fleshing out my outline for that "Supernatural" spec.

One Missed Call
That freaky poster certainly gets your attention... I still say the J-Horror craze is over but Hollywood loves to remake a dead horse. Basically, "One Missed Call" is kind of like "The Ring" but instead of a cursed videotape, you get cursed cell phone calls from your future dead self. Looks like it should catch on with the teens and the creepy ring tone will be popular. As far as the original goes, I got bored halfway through... which happens a lot...

Turistas Go Home!
I had very little interest in seeing "Turistas", much less writing a post about it, but I happened to catch it on cable the other night and just had to share. This "organ harvester" flick was an incredibly lame attempt by Fox Atomic to jump on the "Hostel" and "Saw" torture pornfest bandwagon, even though the stars of the film (Melissa George is gonna have a hard time suckering me into watching another one of her films) insisted otherwise, claiming that it's more of a thriller. Well, it didn't deliver in that department either! I didn't care who lived or died. And I'm sure gorehounds were disappointed. Yeah, there's the big "operation" scene but it's mostly beautiful people making incredibly stupid decisions and then dying as a result. All the big, bad Brazilian villain lacked was a long mustache to twirl as he delivered his evil lines. Good concept but poorly executed. Gives me a couple of ideas though...

Bad Girls
Last week's "Tin Min" mini-series got me thinking about memorable female sci-fi/horror antagonists in movies. Here's a quick and dirty list (in no particular order):
1. Alien Queen
2. Sil (Species)
3. Pamela Voorhies
4. Catwoman (Batman Returns)
5. Annie Wilkes (Misery)
6. Mystique
7. The Borg Queen
8. Wicked Witch of the West
9. Samara (The Ring)
There are so many wicked step-mothers, witches and vengeful spirits in folklore, fairy tales and various mythologies that it's surprising we don't see more of them in feature films. Genre television on the other hand, is full of great female villains -- Diana from the "V" mini-series in the 80s, Six (Battlestar Galactica), Irina Derevko (Alias), Druscilla/Darla/Dark Willow from the Buffyverse, Mama Patrelli (Heroes), etc. Not sure why that is... less about star power and more about the concept?

The Happening
The one sheet for M. Night Shyamalan's "The Happening" is finally out. Meh. Can't say I'm especially excited about seeing this if it's anything like the early draft that was floating around the net a while back. Still a fan though...

Life Support
Nice to see NBC showing some love to "Life" this week. A brand new episode comes on after tonight's "Heroes" finale *yawn* and another in its usual time slot, Wednesdays @ 10pm. The quirky drama about a wrongfully convicted cop, now back on the job and trying to figure out who framed him; is probably one of the few silver linings when it comes to the writer's strike. The network was forced to stick with it and the so-so ratings have picked up a bit. Each week, "Life" offers an intriguing piece of the conspiracy puzzle and a solid whodunit. Last week's episode involving the abducted teen featured some stellar writing, especially that last scene, the exchange in the helicopter between Crews and the kid. If you haven't already, check it out.
Tin Man pt. 1
Welcome to the O-Z, bitch! It's never a good sign when I doze off in the middle of a movie... I'll catch up on D.G. and her crew tonight. From what my fuzzy memory can recall, "Tin Man" was okay. Probably a little too ambitious for its own good, especially with a 19 million dollar budget. There was a lot of hit and miss with the special effects. The cyclone was pretty cool, the spidery monsters in the forest were lame, but the flying monkey was well done.
I was surprised by the number of sci-fi elements in a traditional fantasy story: androids (why isn't the Tin-man an android?), holograms, stasis chambers, etc. I guess to make the story more "adult". Hard to say if it helped, they almost crossed over into campy "Flash Gordon" territory (the movie *and* the show). Maybe's there's a fairy tale or two in the public domain that I could re-imagine. By the way, the wicked witch aka Azkadellia is too hot. Seriously. More hot than evil. And what was up with her metallic bustier and tats? She looked more like an extra from the "Underworld" movies than an evil sorceress.
Some other stuff, started an outline for a "Supernatural" spec. Hopefully, I'll get around to writing it while the idea is still fresh in my head.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. -- This is the story of a man whose best days could have been behind him, and of the runner who made sure they weren't. It is a story of long odds and longer hours, of hard work rewarded by the fulfillment of dreams. Most of all it is a story of the bond between horses and humans, and of the way that bond enables both to do great things. This is the story of Tom McCarthy and General Quarters.
On a misty morning two days before the running of the $600,000 Stephen Foster Handicap, a steel-gray runner poked his head out from a weathered stall in Barn 37 at Churchill Downs. He seemed to be looking for someone, and as horses circled the shedrow from another trainer's string, the big thoroughbred pricked his ears and looked off into the distance, waiting.
Before long, a pickup truck pulled into the stable area. Trainer Tom McCarthy, 76, clambered out from behind the wheel. It was 6:30 a.m. in Louisville, Ky., and above the bustling stable area, another sunrise was dawning.
Assistants rode past on stable ponies. Trainers drove from track to barn and back. Exercise riders swung aboard prancing thoroughbreds and hustled out onto the oval. Many were saddling their second and third sets of the morning, some outfits with as many as 30 horses to work. McCarthy only had to worry about one.
The colt relaxed as his trainer entered the stall and began the morning routine. Water buckets were emptied, dirty straw piled into a wheelbarrow. Overnight wraps were removed, poultice washed away.
McCarthy's son, Tom Jr., lent a helping hand as he'd done for years growing up on the family's modest farm. It's a 12-acre parcel near the track that is now surrounded by houses and highways. But thanks to the big gray runner, it doesn't matter that the paddocks are empty or that the farm, home to so many happy memories, is for sale. After decades of dreaming, McCarthy has finally found his big horse -- one who has galloped to earnings of more than $1 million in the past three years.
"It's amazing, you mess around with something long enough and bam! You finally hit it," Tom Jr. said. "A horse like this has always been Dad's dream. He had good horses, but he never had anything like General Quarters."
The trainer was born on Nov. 30, 1933, in Norwich, Conn., grandson of an Irish jockey whose horse-loving roots spread down through generations. Raised on racetracks in New England that have long since vanished into shopping centers and subdivisions, Tom McCarthy spent his early days galloping for his father and uncle. He even did a little time on the quarter horse circuit when he was in high school in the late 1940s, before moving to Kentucky to pursue his college degree.
It was here that he attended his first Kentucky Derby in 1955, never dreaming he'd eventually enter a contender in the race. As the years passed he always had a runner or two, but horses couldn't support a family, and that's where a degree in education came in handy. After marrying wife Pat in 1961 and while raising five kids (Tom, Dierdra, Molly, Tim, and Meg), McCarthy built his career as a teacher and high school principal. On the side, he built a four-bedroom house, constructed the barn from recycled railroad ties, and put up the fences.
Sitting in the dining room of his solid brick home a few days before the Foster, McCarthy reminisced of learning the ropes under old-school horsemen like Joe Puckett and Roscoe Goose -- names unfamiliar to today's generations, but legendary in the early part of the last century.
"Everybody thinks I just started with the horses, but I really started back in the latter part of the '50s," he said. "I had some good teachers and Joe Puckett was probably the best; he was one of the old taskmasters, a perfectionist. I thought he was awful hard on me at the time, but now I realize what valuable lessons I learned -- how to take your time and not get excited with a good horse. Now I like to take my time, and when I finally have a horse ready for a race I want him ready for a race. I want him ready to run."
Over and over again, he prepared thoroughbred runners to do just that, although the most he ever trained at once was a quartet that proved too much to handle on his own. But from 1986 to 2010, even including his recent success, McCarthy had just 15 winners on record with Equibase. Unable to grant full-time attention to the sport, he remained a small-time figure, a long shot to hit the big time.
"The boys used to say, 'Dad, cut your losses!'" Pat McCarthy recalled. "But he just kept on, and I would tell the kids, 'If you want to learn about perseverance, look at your father.' At this time in our lives and at the end of his career, who knew a horse like this would come along? You never know where life will take you, so it's wonderful to see the many turns in the path."
She smiled at her husband, but although McCarthy adores his wife, he did not relish all this talk of himself and his history. Instead, he directed conversation back to the one topic he enjoys the most.
"Let's just stay with the horse, I like to talk about him," he said.
The horse was born in the wee hours of a Tuesday morning in March 2006. It was about three days after his dam, a daughter of Unbridled's Song named Ecology, had been expected to go into labor, so foaling manager Rosendo Aguilar and his brother, Rafael, were keeping a close eye on her.
"My brother, he was night watching," Rosendo recalled. "I guess he was thinking the colt was too big, because he called me about midnight, 'Hey, come help me pull this one out!'"
With the two men grasping his slender forefeet, delicate muzzle tucked neatly in-between, the foal slipped into the world. Seal-black and shiny, he rested in golden straw, nostrils flaring with first breaths of air.
He's a beautiful horse; I can't describe it. I've taken care of him every single day except for two weeks when I shipped him down to Tampa. He understands me and I understand him. Just by doing the same thing the same way every day, and by being very kind to him, I give him a little reward and he's given me everything. I look forward, every morning, to going in and taking care of him. It keeps me going.
--Tom McCarthy
"He got up like 25 minutes later and went to nurse right away, and I said to my brother, 'Ah, he's smart, he's a good one,'" Rosendo said.
One of about 20 foals produced annually by Fallbrook Farm in Versailles, Ky., a small but powerful breeding operation owned by construction company CEO Robert David Randal, the colt did not merit much respect from the farm workers. They all talked, as horsemen will, of which yearling would be the racehorse of the group. General Quarters' name never came up.
"I remember him as a yearling," Alex Randal, manager of Fallbrook, said. "We always joked, with him being such a rough, kooky kind of colt, he'd be better suited for a plow than the racetrack."
They had low expectations for the colt heading into the sale as well. In a highly commercialized market where the slightest blemish or tiniest flaw would be inspected and re-inspected on countless occasions, he walked with an obvious defect, paddling his right front leg with an outward-reaching move.
"He's got a funny little walk, that's what held his price down more than anything," said McCarthy, who actually bid on the colt during the sale but dropped out at $16,000. "It's the way he walks and puts that one foot down, but he doesn't gallop that way at all."
General Quarters was purchased by leading Kentucky owners Ken and Sara Ramsay for $20,000 at an auction in which the top yearling sold for $3.7 million. His first trainer was Wesley Ward, a former Eclipse Award-winning jockey now known for his prowess with speedy 2-year-olds. Again, the big gray colt failed to impress. In his first start, on May 30, 2008, Ward encouraged his owners to enter him for a claiming tag because he was "really slow."
It was a fortuitous decision for McCarthy, who had been victim of the claim box in reverse order the previous fall. He'd spent all winter without a runner, and was itching to get back into the game. And although the McCarthys do not put much stock in racing luck -- "the harder you work, the luckier you get," Pat said. The trainer had placed a claim, but so had two others. The three were assigned a number on a pill, the pills were shaken in a bottle, and one was pulled out. McCarthy had a horse again, and it was time to get to work.
"He was pretty well cranked up when I got him," Tom McCarthy said of the 2-year-old General Quarters. "His ankles were warm, so I just took my time with him. We just started galloping; long, slow stuff. He's such a big-bodied horse, and on those little ankles ... we don't breed any more for soundness like we do for speed, you know how that is."
McCarthy felt the colt was ready to run again about five weeks after he got him. He would have run back in another claiming race, but one with suitable conditions did not seem to be available. The Bashford Manor, a Grade 3 event at six furlongs, was.
"I said, 'Well, I'll just take a shot and see what we can do,'" McCarthy said. "And he led right into the stretch and then got very tired, but he wasn't really ready to go that far. He'd won at four and a half furlongs and probably five furlongs would have been his next best distance."
It would take five starts before General Quarters ran his breakout race. In the early part of the 3-year-old season, when many horsemen ship their runners south to begin pursuit of graded-stakes earnings en route to the Kentucky Derby, McCarthy sent him to Tampa Bay Downs. There, the big runner found his stride. Capturing the 8 1/2-furlong Sam F. Davis Stakes in stakes-record time, he punched his ticket to the Derby.
"By that time, I'd begun to see, 'Wow, I have a pretty good horse!'" McCarthy said. "I actually knew a few starts back, in the Inaugural Stakes when he ran second. He was 12th by 23 lengths, 10th by 21, seventh by six and second by one. So he closed like that and I knew what I had."
Next, in the Tampa Bay Derby, the colt got a terrible ride. The jockey ran him right up on the heels of another horse going into the first turn, weaving out and in and in and out. But the fifth-place finish in that race was enough to merit a trip to the Blue Grass Stakes, and that's where General Quarters broke onto the national scene.
"He trained so well up to it, it was hard holding him down," McCarthy said. "He was very, very energetic. I didn't know if it'd be a winning race, but I was confident he could be one, two or three. When he came around the turn and I saw him flying, I said, 'Oh, they're never gonna catch him.'"
And they never did.
When General Quarters won the Blue Grass at odds of 14-1, representing his trainer's one-horse stable and the greatest victory of McCarthy's limited career, the world latched onto the story. Here was something worth rooting for, a classic tale of little-guy-makes-good, of hard work bringing big rewards.
The public began to hear of the retired high school principal and his Derby-bound runner. Old friends and students emerged from the woodwork. Some days, McCarthy would wade through a crowd of well-wishers just to get to the colt's stall. Even now, more than a year later, Churchill still gets requests from people who want to visit the backside and "see the General." Pat, in her silver Cadillac with the bumper sticker "I Love Kentucky-bred General Quarters," receives thumbs-up and enthusiastic waves from random drivers on the highway. And letters still arrive from everywhere -- even overseas -- from racing enthusiasts expressing their love and admiration for the trainer, his horse, and their story.
General Quarters did not win the Derby. Of 19 horses, he finished 10th at Churchill. There, a roughly-run trip over a muddy racetrack saw him battered and checked more than once. The race took its toll, but the trainer didn't immediately realize the complete ramifications.
"When he came out of the race one nostril was completely blocked from a clod of dirt that had come back, and one eye was closing," McCarthy said. "About three days later I felt a little heat in his knee and it turned out he'd chipped it in the race."
They went on to the Preakness, but after the colt encountered trouble again and finished eighth, it became apparent that the chip would require surgery. It took two weeks of stall rest, 30 days of hand walking, and 30 more days of rehabilitation on a machine called a Eurociser before he was ready to resume light training.
"I did it very cautiously," McCarthy said. "At first we just walked under the shedrow. Then we jogged him for a few weeks, and then we got him up to a gallop. He began to get very on-the-muscle, ready to run. You couldn't gallop another horse by him because he'd just pull you over and try to race it. So I finally got him race-ready, probably at 85 percent, in New Orleans."
Coming back from his injury, General Quarters finished second four times -- including in the Louisiana Handicap, the Mineshaft Handicap, and the New Orleans Handicap. Then McCarthy got the inkling to try him on the turf, where the colt will spend the rest of his racing career after this weekend.
"He's a better turf horse, I think, than anything else," McCarthy said.
Five weeks ago, one year from the day of his Derby start, in the May 1 Woodford Reserve on the grass at Churchill, the colt got his -- and his trainer's -- second Grade 1 win.
Their story will take its' next turn on Saturday, when 11 runners head for their posts in the Stephen Foster. Among them are last year's winner, Macho Again, Clark Handicap winner Blame, and New Orleans Handicap winner Battle Plan, who bested General Quarters by just 1 ½ lengths in that race. General Quarters will take them on, and if he succeeds, will become only the second runner in history to take a Grade 1 race over all three surfaces -- synthetics, turf, and dirt. So far, only Lava Man, a fellow former claimer, has accomplished that task. Last year, Einstein made a bid for similar honors in the Foster. He finished third.
"There's nothing on the grass for him," McCarthy said of his reason for running in the dirt race on Saturday. "I could go in an allowance race, but I don't want to go in an allowance race out of a Grade 1. I'd be taking an effort out of him that didn't really count, and I'd rather stay in Grade I races and keep him in better company where he belongs. And the Stephen Foster is going to be an excellent competition."
The steel-gray runner got his final prep for that event when he took a brisk gallop this week around the Churchill oval. McCarthy will brush his coat and wrap his bandages and clip the leadshank to his halter. Then the two will make their walk to the frontside on Saturday, and maybe one step further into the history books. Regardless of the results, they've already taken up residence there.

'This is the story of two flawed eccentrics. Everything they do subverts their firm intention of keeping up appearances. They meet just after the war in liberated Paris but they cannot quite free themselves from the many strings attached to them - the old aunts, the sisters, the cousins, the nuns and the ominous concierges who dog their footsteps. Alexandre is a banker and a Resistant and lives in a world of numbers and Roman emperors. Poum resides in the Odyssey and in her bed, hiding from the mysterious disapproval of their relatives, for they both seem to persist in some irreparable faux pas which has them wading through a lifetime pickle. Their daughter, Catherine, would like to help but she seems to be part of the problem.
'This is no ordinary childhood, and Catherine de Saint Phalle's acceptance of her parents, despite their flaws, shines through, propelling us head first into their strange, yet beautiful, Parisian world.
'Poum and Alexandre is a searingly honest, humorous and moving elegy to family and place, and a meditation on the ways they ultimately define us.' (Publication summary)

When mortal told you that you were dim or basic cognitive process handicapped or weird, you believed them.
And you motionless understand them to this day - even if you're not consciously alert of it.
But the well-behaved news is that it's regularly thinkable to triumph old conditioning and regenerate it beside new, empowering way of life.
Here are 3 suitable ways to start:

At the beginning you and your partner probably fanatical a lot of time, awareness and feeling to each other, right? One of the champion way to swot up to be passionate about yourself is to trace a corresponding process with yourself! Treat yourself approaching royalty! Do holding that form you surface ecstatic. Sweet-talk yourself. Buy yourself good holding. Spend power time near yourself simply because you be it.
2) Explore your in existence thinking. If you funny you have old, limiting messages stuffing your head, you may be uncertain just about what they are scientifically. In command to discovery out what is holding you back, you may entail to go on an expedition. Begin exploring your current idea by characters in a piece of writing. Give yourself prompts or questions suchlike these: My earlier memory of thought gaumless was... My mother always made me consciousness... My parent e'er processed me like... and so on.
The conception is to expect stern to an early instance in your existence and see if you can notice when and where your restrictive way of life got started. Then, face those thinking.

Start to twirl this nigh on by praising and inspiriting yourself in your self-talk. When you carry out something, compliment yourself! Say holding like, Wow, I'm truly prideful of myself for doing that. It wasn't easy, but I short of through with the bestial a skin condition and gave it my privileged iridescent. You can besides be paid a thorn of simply openhanded yourself optimistic self-talk day by day. Recite affirmations like these: I am a valued character. I have a lot to proffer the planetary. I'm gifted and fortunate.
The more than you do it, the more you'll move to feel it!

Article by Guest Poster
This article was written by a guest contributor. The author's views below are entirely his or her own and may not reflect the views of WHSR.
Undoubtedly, if you have ever contacted or used hosting sites, you've noticed the 98.9%, 99.9% and even 100% server uptime labels there. Normally, you would think "Well, 99.9% sounds very good indeed, 0.01% downtime is no big deal" and you would be right. What many people are missing, however, is that even if the server is reachable, it doesn't necessarily mean that it is functioning properly. In fact, there are a lot of other things that can go wrong with a server. The 99.99% uptime sticker does not provide any guarantee that your business will not encounter other problems while the server is up. Hosting providers often calculate uptime in ways that are not so intuitive from a user's point of view and in some cases they do not take into account certain website downtime.
In the first place, you have to keep in mind that not all downtime is counted (e.g. in most cases the scheduled downtime is not even considered). Hosting companies will not willingly include these several hours of downtime to their statistics. When they calculate the monthly server uptime the planned services interruptions are not deducted.
(Jerry's note: Trust me, that's true for certain web host! This is why hosting shoppers are advised to read third-party hosting reviews and regular updates on server uptime.)
Moreover, some hosting companies are also inclined to overlook shorter downtime periods. Outages of 3-5 minutes are not considered significant and are also not included in the 99.9% stats. But, in the end of the day, multiple short downtime periods can actually add up and make a difference.
One more thing to consider – a 1% difference means twice the trouble. 99.9% uptime in fact shows a downtime of 8 hours and 45 minutes per year. So, if the sticker reads 98.9%, the downtime value reaches 17 hours and 30 minutes.
You have to accept the universal truth that resources are limited. "Unlimited" is just a euphemism for "enough for the majority of the common users". But what if your business is not a common one and demand is high? There may be other significant sites that share the same hosting hardware with you. Sooner or later, this may lead to a server overload and thus result in high loading times, broken transactions, etc. In a case like this, the server will still be online, but the performance will be far below your needs. One good way to detect such problems quickly is application monitoring.
Let's face it – 100% is not easily achievable. Something is bound to go wrong eventually. There will be problems with network backbones, power failures, software and hardware issues and even human errors. So, instead of trying to find the ultimate hosting provider, get a decent one with good server uptime and performance, 24-hour technical support and frequent backups. And make sure to get a reliable remote website monitoring service, just in case. It might just turn out to be the best money you ever spent.

Bad loans now threaten microfinance sector
The rapid growth of savings and credit co-operative societies without matching capacity to manage loans is partly responsible for the increasing bad loans.
Latest statists from to national bank of Rwanda registered an increase its bad loans from 6.8 percent recorded in 2013 to 7 percent by end of December 2014.
"The capacity of loan officers to analyze loan applications and also ensure the monitoring after disbursement is still low," Jessica Massi, a financial consultant said.
Moreover, the lack of knowledge on the side of borrowers also contributes yet another threat to reducing bad loans.
"We are carrying out a scientific research on the causes of bad loans which is becoming a prime threat to the growth of the sector" Peter Rwema, director of Association of Microfinance Institutions in Rwanda said.
Rwema noted that there is need to fully understand using practical approaches, the persistent challenges of bad loans that has been affecting the sectors' growth through reduction of its profit margins.
Dr. Thomas Kigabo, the central bank's chief economist said that the sector is still buoyant and is able to withstand shocks.
"The sector remains liquid and resilience to withstand shocks. The capital adequacy ratio stood at 33.2%, well above the minimum regulatory requirement of 15% and the liquidity ratio stood at 86.9%," he added
Statistics from central bank indicate that the sector's assets grew from Rwf 159.3 by end of December 2014 up from Rwf 128.7 billion in 2013 representing a 23.8 percent growth which was driven by an increase in loans by 22.4 percent.
While on the other side, the sector's deposits grew by 23.9 percent from 86.1 by the end of last year up from Rwf 69.5billion in the same period the previous year.

Where Epic Mickey 2 failed financially and critically – resulting in the closure of developer Junction Point – Disney Interactive saw success in Kinect's Disneyland Adventures which shifted a more than 1.5 million units on the Xbox 360 camera peripheral. With rhythm games like Just Dance breaking sales records, in an effort to combine both motion-based cash cows, Disney Interactive has unveiled Harmonix's new game 'Fantasia: Music Evolved'.
Inspired by the animated classic of the same name, Fantasia: Music Evolved features an intriguing rhythm-based element, one that appears to reward physical flicks and flops with tempo changes, key shifts and more. Centered on 25 musical numbers, (each of which appears alongside two remixes) Fantasia eschews button-bashing clangor for gesture-based conducting.
Recruited by the powerful sorcerer Yen Sid, players take on the role of an on-screen "muse," interacting with a stunning array of exotic locales, from an "enchanted printing press" to the sub-aquatic "Shoal." Local multiplayer is on offer for up to two 'mouseketeers', whilst online play remains, as of yet, unconfirmed.
Developed by Harmonix Music Systems, granddaddies of the once prominent music-mime genre, Fantasia: Music Evolved could hardly be said to have found a more perfect fit. Creators of the cult hits Frequency & Amplitude back in the early part of the 2000s, the studio went on enjoy unparalleled success with both its Guitar Hero and Rock Band franchises later that same decade. As the plastic-peripheral business ran dry, Harmonix moved into gesture-based Kinect titles, producing the wildly successful Dance Central as well as its two direct sequels. Check out our Dance Central 3 review.
Featured songs included in Fantasia: Music Evolved:
- AVICII — "Levels"
- Bruno Mars — "Locked Out of Heaven"
- Fun. — "Some Nights"
- Kimbra — "Settle"
- Queen — "Bohemian Rhapsody"
As commercially savvy as the decision to cater to modern pop tastes is, (ongoing DLC is likely a prime motivator) it's still somewhat dispiriting to find Disney abandoning their musical legacy in favor of chasing lucrative chart music. Would a Fantasia game featuring the actual soundtrack from Fantasia, or any other animated feature for that matter, have proven so very unappealing to kids?
Whilst Fantasia's press release makes no mention of PlayStation compatibility, (only the Xbox 360 & upcoming Xbox One consoles have been confirmed) recent news regarding Sony's eye-toy update would allow for a potential PS4 port.
Will Fantasia: Music Evolved prove equal parts Wii Music, Dance Dance Revolution and DJ Hero, or perhaps something else entirely? We won't know for sure until the game is demoed at E3 on June 11th.

Naomi Shihab Nye
Half-And-Half - Poem by Naomi Shihab Nye
You can't be, says a Palestinian Christian
on the first feast day after Ramadan.
So, half-and-half and half-and-half.
He sells glass. He knows about broken bits,
chips. If you love Jesus you can't love
anyone else. Says he.
At his stall of blue pitchers on the Via Dolorosa,
he's sweeping. The rubbed stones
feel holy. Dusting of powdered sugar
across faces of date-stuffed mamool.
This morning we lit the slim white candles
which bend over at the waist by noon.
For once the priests weren't fighting
in the church for the best spots to stand.
As a boy, my father listened to them fight.
This is partly why he prays in no language
but his own. Why I press my lips
to every exception.
A woman opens a window—here and here and here—
placing a vase of blue flowers
on an orange cloth. I follow her.
She is making a soup from what she had left
in the bowl, the shriveled garlic and bent bean.
She is leaving nothing out.

Best Of :: Food & Drink
A trip to Jitlada is for many Angelenos a kind of pilgrimage. If you love Thai food, particularly Southern Thai in its many degrees of spiciness, from pleasant to outrageous, you come for the curries that Suthiporn (Tui) Sungkamee makes from scratch in the back, curries that date from when he was about 13 and started cooking at home (he's never cooked at a restaurant not his own). If you love The Simpsons, you come to eat your green curry mussels under one of the many drawings that longtime regular Matt Groening has given to the restaurant. If you love danger, you come for the Dynamite Challenge, an absurdly spicy dish that Sungkamee put on the menu about four years ago, for fun or maybe just to hear people scream. If you love burgers, you come to persuade Sungkamee's sister Sarintip (Jazz) Singsanong to make you one of her special Thai hamburgers. But if you love everything here, as many of us do, you seem to come most often for the Morning Glory salad, a soothing plate of tempura-fried greens combined with onions and shrimp and fresh herbs in a syrupy tart sauce. It's neither as intricate nor as dangerous as the two or three hundred other things Sungkamee might conceivably make for you, but it's a fantastic dish that may well be the most addictive thing in the restaurant. Well, other than Ryan Gosling. —Amy Scattergood

Don't let Nancy Silverton's puffy-edged pies at Mozza sway you: The city's best wood-fired pizza may well be across town at Mother Dough in Los Feliz. At the least, the tiny brick storefront space along Hollywood Boulevard has more soul than perhaps any other pizza place in Los Angeles, thanks to Bez Compani, the Naples-trained, Iranian-born pizzaiolo who's been running Mother Dough with a quick wrist and quiet focus since 2011. There's little time to breeze through niceties when the sidewalk out front is packed with patient diners, the mozzarella di bufala is getting low and the oven's pulsing heat must be managed and maintained. Each night, Compani sweats to make sure that his pies arrive springy but with a crisp, slightly scorched crust that isn't overpowered by endless toppings. Don't bother making eye contact with the man to offer a silent nod of pure pizza bliss; he's too busy. -- Farley Elliott

Every single day of the year, including holidays, you can find Mariscos Jalisco parked on the eastern stretch of Olympic Boulevard; thus every day of the year, especially holidays, you'll find folks from as far away as San Diego in line for the truck's near-legendary taco dorados de camaron. This would be a taco the size of a small clutch bag, stuffed until plump with a creamy mixture of shrimp and various secret ingredients, then deep-fried wholesale to a most satisfying crunch, with the charred edges being the most prized bites. Finished with thin slices of avocado and a bit of salsa, two or three of these, plus a bottle of Coke or Jarritos, inhaled while sitting on a nearby brick ledge alongside everyone else, is lunch. As these tacos have a way of inspiring cravings, this might be lunch tomorrow, too. And every day thereafter. —Tien Nguyen

No doubt the first place that comes to mind when you think of longtime L.A. chili dog stands is Pink's, the permanently crowded stand on La Brea. Perfectly understandable. But Art's Chili Dog Stand should come to mind almost as quickly. Opened by ex–New Yorker Art Elkind in the late 1940s, the tiny stand near the corner of Florence and Normandie was visited by food writers David Shaw and Ruth Reichl, who praised both the dogs and Art himself. Art died in 1990, but the chili dogs he named remain the same: casing-free, all-meat dogs (made specially for Art's by nearby Meadow Farms) that are loaded with chili and served on a steamed bun. The late, great Art believed in keeping it simple — a tradition that, thankfully, continues. —Jim Thurman

What do we want from brunch? We don't want to wait on the sidewalk for a table forever. Rather, we want comfort food that's slightly more complex or elevated than what we'd make for ourselves at home. We want something that might tame a hangover — maybe served with something that might give us a brand new hangover. We also want something that's friendly, laid-back, relaxed and convivial. We get all of these things from Cooks County, the Beverly Boulevard restaurant from chefs Daniel Mattern and Roxana Jullapat, which excels in many things but brunch above all. Sip a sweet and tart rhubarb prosecco while chomping on fried eggs with chickpeas and harissa, served with yogurt and grilled olive bread. Or go the bagel route — they're chewy, made in-house and served with a generous heaping of cedar-smoked trout, capers and red onion. We've yet to have a dud on this menu. Plus, the wait is never too long. —Besha Rodell

For years, Robert Earl has been mesquite-smoking his meats in a hand-welded, four-barrel cooker hitched to the back of a miniature ice cream truck, which doubles as a catering van. On the back, a painted warning says, "BBQ so good make you slap mama." Maybe so, when you're talking about Earl's pork ribs and beef brisket so tender it can't even hold its sliced shape. The homemade cooker spends most of its time heating the daily offerings in the parking lot behind Earl's year-old namesake restaurant in North Long Beach, Robert Earl's BBQ, where ribs, pulled pork and brisket have been added to the long list of sinful specialties and his wife's vegetarian sides (you'd swear there was bacon grease in the greens) come included with most meals. So skip the lines at Bludso's and, in addition to competition-worthy, Texas-style BBQ, you'll be rewarded with the option of wolfing down one of Robert Earl Jr.'s signature "golden nugget" desserts: a scoop of banana pudding atop a pan-fried piece of cornbread. —Sarah Bennett

Origami Stroller
Eligible For Free Shipping
Everything a stroller should be. It's the world's first power-folding stroller: at the touch of a button, it folds itself. To open or close the stroller, just push that button and relax while the rest takes care of itself. Stroller is black and comes with a silver seat pad. Additional seat pad colors are available (sold separately).Features
- Built-in Generator: The Origami has built-in generators so the system recharges itself while you walk. Sure, you can plug it into a wall or even fold it manually if you need to, but a short walk is all it takes to keep the battery fully charged. It's hard to be greener than that.
- LCD Screen: the LCD Interface knows things: all you have to do is look at the display to confirm it knows a child is in the seat, or how charged the battery is, or how far you've walked. Easy, convenient, and very cool.
- Four-wheel suspension
- Four cupholders (two on the handlebar, two in the seat)
- Manual override: every parent wants a "just in case", so just turn a secret switch to put the Origami in manual mode and easily fold it by hand.
- Pathway and Daytime Running lights and Reflective Piping: Stay highly visible to drivers at all times
- Two-Step Fold: So you won't do it by accident, folding the Origami takes two (easy) steps: turn the activation ring, then push the button. There's also a hidden lock switch to thwart those curious toddlers.
- Zero Pinch Points: It folds by telescoping in and out (nothing folds over or snaps together) and the handle bar, seat ring, and legs are opposing curves so nothing can get trapped between them, even when folded.
Write a Review
- Weight Limits: 25 lbs in the bassinet, 40 lbs in the seat
- Stroller Weight: 29 lbs
- Materials: Aluminum tubes, polyester fabric foams, rubber composite tires and lithium polymer battery

In order to make the crumble topping vegan, I use coconut oil instead of butter. The coconut oil must be solid so you might need to put it in the fridge for a while to harden up.

The control module uses programmed limits and values from various sensors to determine the maximum permissible fuel quantity per combustion.
The control module fitted in the well (cabin side) in front of the windscreen on the passenger side has two connectors, one 81-pin and one 40-pin.
The control module is powered with +30 on pin 1 and 2 from the main relay, +15 from fuse 27 to pin 24 and +50 from fuse 30 to pin 42. The control module has a running-on function that must complete before the control module stops grounding the main relay.
The running-on function is controlled by DICE via the I- and P-bus and starts when the ignition key is turned to OFF, i.e. the +15 supply on pin 24 ceases. DICE keeps the ECM control module awake (about 40 s) in order to read the engine temperature and control the radiator fan.
The control module has a flash memory and cannot be reprogrammed.
