Celebrity Doppelgangers: Dr. Seuss Characters
By Michelle Lanz
One hundred and seven years ago, children's book author Dr. Seuss was born Theodor Seuss Geisel in Springfield, Mass. Over the course of his 87 years of life (he passed in 1991) he wrote over 44 children's book and created probably five times as many characters. Hollywood has its own wealth of colorful creatures, some of which we think bear striking (and in some cases slight) similarities to some of Seuss's creations. Click through to see which celebs resemble some of Dr. Seuss's most recognizable toons.
Cat in the Hat and Joan Rivers
We're willing to bet that Mike Myers's makeup artist for "Cat in the Hat" was greatly influenced by Joan Rivers's face-lifted visage.

(Milker's nodes, Paravaccinia)
Pseudocowpox, a common, mild infection of the udder and teats of cows, is caused by a parapoxvirus and is widespread worldwide. The virus of pseudocowpox is related to those of contagious ecthyma (see Contagious Ecthyma) and bovine papillar stomatitis (see Papillar Stomatitis in Large Animals). These parapoxviruses differ morphologically from vaccinia virus and other poxviruses. They have a limited host range and cannot be propagated in fertile eggs, and they will grow in some cell cultures, although relatively poorly.
Lesions begin as small, red papules on the teats or udder. These may be followed rapidly by scabbing, or small vesicles or pustules may develop before scabs form. Scabs may be abundant but can be removed without causing pain. Granulation occurs beneath the scabs, resulting in a raised lesion that heals from the center and leaves a characteristic horseshoe or circular ring of small scabs. This stage is reached in ~7–12 days. Some lesions persist for several months, giving the affected teats a rough feel and appearance, and more scabs may form. The infection spreads slowly throughout milking herds, and a variable percentage of cows shows lesions at any time. Cattle may become reinfected in subsequent lactations.
The scabbed lesions may be confused with mild traumatic injuries to the teats and udder. Scabs examined with an electron microscope frequently show characteristic virus particles.
Control of infection within a herd is difficult and depends essentially on hygienic measures, such as teat dipping, to destroy the virus and prevent transmission. Little immunity appears to develop.
People may become infected with painless but itchy purplish red nodules that are generally present on the fingers or hands. These lesions cause little disturbance and disappear after several weeks.

DVD Releases for August 15, 2006
August 14th, 2006
It is another insanely busy week with 1,250 DVDs coming out, at least according to Amazon.
However, like last week, the majority of those are episodes of Charlie Rose.
(I really wish the studio released them as full season sets and not flood the market with individual titles that most people will skip over without a second thought.)
Three releases immediately jump out as the best of the best, Apocalypse Now - The Complete Dossier, Masters of Horror - Dario Argento - Jenifer, and The Simpsons - The Complete Eighth Season - Collectable Maggie Head Edition.
I could have spent hours trying to determine which of those was the best, but instead I will just award all three the title of DVD Pick of the Week.

The penultimate season of this sci-fi comedy series hits the home market.
Despite NBC's best efforts to kill the show through gratuitous scheduling changes, 3rd Rock lasted 6 seasons, earned 8 Emmys and garnered a total of 31 nominations.
The show is still great, but the studio release is a 4-disc set devoid of special features.
Very strange.
This is the third time this movie has been released on DVD, but the first real, 'Special Edition' release.
On this 2-disc edition there are both the original cut and 2001 Redux version.
Special features include an audio commentary track (it's on both versions with the Redux version having additional commentary seamlessly added at the appropriate spots), as well as deleted scenes, intros, Marlon Brando's complete reading of T.S. Eliot's "The Hollow Men," a look at the post-production, including the creation of the Dolby 5.1 sound, making of featurettes, etc., etc., etc.
All we need now is Hearts of Darkness: A Filmmaker's Apocalypse to finally be released on DVD (legal problems have been preventing that for years), and every fan of this amazing film will be satisfied. ... maybe.
In all honestly, there are a couple of problems.
Firstly, the little special features that were on the previous discs were not ported over and it would have been nice to see more features on the actors as opposed to the technical side.
Perhaps that will be fixed for the 30th anniversary edition, which will be on Blu-Ray or HD-DVD or whatever format replaces them.
Regardless, this is a must-have DVD and easily a contender for DVD Pick of the Week.
Three Blu-Ray releases this week, not counting R.V.'s simultaneous DVD and Blu-Ray release mentioned below.
Of the three, Into the Blue is the most visual, and not just for Jessica Alba in a bikini.
Memento is the best while Robocop has the best special effects and is a good movie in its own way.
There are two main perils when it comes to picking up DVD Box Sets: Double-dips and Filler.
And quite frankly, I would consider two of these films to be filler.
On the other hand, none of these movies are double-dips and for Clark Gable completists, this is a great set to pick up at a very reasonable price.
This film deals with a very difficult subject, but does it in such a melodramatic and emotionally hollow way that it loses all effectiveness.
In nearly every way -- acting, writing, directing -- this is a great movie.
However, as great as it is, it is a difficult movie to watch, mainly because the main character of Bruno is just so unsympathetic and unredeemable.
Those that do have the fortitude to sit through it will be rewarded, but I can image that many will not be eager to repeat the experience.
Nostalgia is the only explanation for why this 3-disc set is selling so well.
It is a TV series about a nun, who can fly, not through divine power, but because her hat is so big and she is so light.
Compared to this, TV series about talking cars seem so realistic.
Add in zero special features and I can't even recommend renting it.
On the other hand, if you grew up watching the show, you might get enough of a nostalgia kick to want to add it to your collection.
How this series lasted nine seasons is beyond me.
It was everything negative about family sitcoms: it was schmaltzy, it was corny, its was intellectually and emotionally unchallenging, etc.
And with no special features, this 4-disc set is not worth renting.
Can also be purchased with the previous seasons as part of a package deal.
A direct-to-DVD release from one-time famous person, Jean-Claude Van Damme.
In all fairness, the film is a hell of a lot better than most direct-to-DVD releases providing enough action to take your mind of real life for most of its 110 minute running time, but there's almost no replay value and exactly zero special features.
Give it a rental, but have Bloodsport on hand for the second part of the double-feature.
Like season 1, this season is only being released in Canada at the moment.
Not sure why, but it probably has something to do with licensing rights.
This is a fun, action-packed show that doesn't take itself too seriously and fans should be happy it's on DVD, even if the 5-disc set it devoid of special features.
I hate this show.
I really do.
But there are a huge number of fans out there that keep buying these season sets, despite the flimsy plots and the total lack of special features.
And who am I to judge them?
Still, it is my job to judge the actual DVDs, and I say skip it.
This Hanna-Barbera cartoon lasted only one season, which is collected here.
In addition to all 31 episodes, there are audio commentary tracks on 3 of them, retrospective featurette, and storyboards.
This places it well ahead of most TV on DVD releases for animated shows and makes the set well worth picking up.
This film broke records when it was released earlier in the year, none of them good: lowest opening for a film opening on 3,000 or more theatres, lowest box office for a film opening on 3,000 or more theatres, and largest drop in theatre count.
Granted, this is a bad movie, but not nearly that bad.
Add in a pretty good package of special features (audio commentary track and six featurettes), and it is worth a rental for its target audience, but that's it.
The latest, and probably last, installment of the I Know What You Did Last Summer franchise takes the direct-to-DVD route, and it shows.
The DVD does have more special features than many direct-to-DVD releases, but even so I can't even recommend a rental.
Can also be purchased with the previous movies as part of a box set, but sticking with the first two movies is the better deal.
The latest Signature Collection features six films from Jimmy Stewart's long and illustrious career.
Three of them, The FBI Story, The Spirit of St. Louis, and The Stratton Story have Stewart portraying real life individuals.
The other three are all Westerns with The Naked Spur earning the best reviews in the set.
All four of the above movies are available separately with the last two, The Cheyenne Social Club & Firecreek, available in a double-set.
However, like it usually is, the Box Set is the better deal at less than half the price.
This is an excellent show that lasted 11 seasons before being unceremoniously cancelled.
You would think for a show that lasted that long, the studio could come up with some special features, but that is not the case.
Based on the L.A. Riots that occurred after the Rodney King cops were acquitted.
A lot of people at the time thought that the trail showed that the judicial system was hopeless racist, however, history has shown that it is medically impossible to get a conviction in Los Angeles.
The movie brags that it will offend everyone that watches, but its worse crime is the near total lack of humor.
Skip it.
The second Hanna-Barbera cartoon series to come out tomorrow, and quite frankly, Hong Kong Phooey is the better of the two series.
That said, I'm sure there are a lot of people who would love to see this cartoon again and there are just enough extras to lift the 4-disc set past the rental level and up to a purchase.
First of all, Amazon has Dario Argento - Jenifer coming out tomorrow while Haeckel's Tale is a November release.
However, the two pack is also coming out tomorrow, at least according to them.
Anchor bay doesn't have a release date for the latter two, so I assume they are not coming out tomorrow regardless what Amazon says.
Back to the actual movie, Jenifer stars, and was written by Steven Weber, who is best known for his starring role in Wings.
He plays detective Frank Spivey, who rescues the deformed Jennifer from a violent killer.
But after he takes the orphan into his home, he discovers she isn't what she seems to be.
This is one of the better releases in the Masters of Horror series and with special features that are equally impressive (audio commentary, several interviews, making of featurettes, and more), it is easily worth picking up and a contender for DVD Pick of the Week.
As for the other release, wait until there's confirmation on Anchor Bay's site before ordering it.
Not the worst movie to come out this year, but it was close.
It's what we in the business call a, "Paycheck Movie."
When an actor is clearly slumming it just for an easy paycheck.
Normally when this happens, you can really tell as the person in question just phones in their performance, and this is certainly the case here.
The special features are not bad with a tele-strator commentary, outtake, and a handful of featurettes, but there's nothing here that lift the DVD to even a rental.
One last note, as I mentioned in April's preview, I found exactly one line in the trailer to be funny, "Oh my god, it's your husband."
Well, they changed that line for the DVD ads.
I'm not sure why, but it reduces the funny bits in the ads to zero.
My reaction to this release is equal parts happiness, sadness, and anger.
On the one hand, I'm glad that the show is now fully out on DVD, but I'm a little sad that's all there is.
Also, it reminds me how Pierce Brosnan was screwed over by the producers.
He was scheduled to take over the Bond franchise back in the late 80s after Remington Steele was cancelled.
Then it was brought back so he had to back out, only to have the series canceled again after it was too late to take the role.
To make matters worse, season five was clearly the worst of the bunch.
For that matter, season four suffered from a serious drop-off in quality as well.
However, if you've purchased the previous seasons, there's little reason to stop now.
The first season of this series cost a mind-blowing $100 million to make, so it's no surprise that the DVD release is on the pricey side.
However, it's worth every penny, both the $100 million the producers paid and the $70 the consumer will.
Not only is the show great (it is also very intense and too violent for many people), but the 6-disc set contains a mountain of extras.
They include audio commentary tracks on 8 of the 12 episodes, text commentaries on all 12, and five featurettes with a total running time of more than 90 minutes.
Easily worth picking up and a contender for DVD Pick of the Week.
I'm not sure why Ronald Reagan is getting a Signature Collection, he wasn't that good of an actor and most of his movies were poor, at best.
Kings Row and The Hasty Heart are good movies, Knute Rockne All-American is probably the most famous but solely for the, "Win one for the Gipper" speech.
But overall it is a pretty weak collection compared to other Signature Collections.
On the other hand, maybe it will sell well enough that the Spitting Image Ronald Reagan special will be released on DVD.
It almost certainly will not, but one can always hope.
I say this as an irrationally large fan of Paul Giamatti: this is a bad movie, worse than the reviews would indicate.
When I first saw the DVD I thought, "Why is this getting a Collector's Edition release?"
Then I realized it wasn't.
The only special features are an audio commentary track, deleted scenes, and a short film.
That hardly counts as a special feature and isn't enough to lift the film to the rental level.
Another bad movie on this week's list.
It's not the worst spoof to come out this year (that would be Date Movie), but too many of the jokes fail to be worth recommending.
The special features are merely average and the Unrated label is more marketing hype than anything else.
If you have been collecting this series from the beginning, you know what to expect in terms of special features: audio commentary on every episode, featurettes, etc.
The real question is, is this the year The Simpsons jumped the shark?
I don't think so as there are several classic episodes starting with the Treehouse of Terror VII, ("I created Lutherans!"), and includes the boxing episode, the X-Files parody, that one with the insanity pepper, the return of Sideshow Bob and his brother, the one with Hank Scorpio, that other one with Burn's long lost son, etc.
Of the 25 episodes, I would consider more than half to be classics and the other hand are almost all worthy of repeat viewing.
This is another set that is easily worth picking up and a contender for DVD Pick of the Week.
This series debuted last fall and lasted just 15 episodes before getting the axe.
This was one of three shows that were just too similar for all of them to survive.
Surface, Invasion and ... I can't remember the other one.
That's it.
Had there not been such direct competition, either of the three shows could have lasted, but as it is, they were all cancelled by the time the season ended.
The 4-disc set doesn't have much in the way of special features, but as a short run show that is to be expected and fans will be happy just to have all 15 episodes on DVD.
I think we all know what my opinion of Reality TV is.
Skip it.
The creative genius of Weird Al crammed into a Saturday morning kids show.
The fit is not quite right, and when you add in a network that had no idea how to promote it, you end up with a very short-lived show.
However, looking back, it was entertaining and surreal enough to be worth checking out, and with audio commentaries on all 13 episodes, it is easily worth picking up.
One last note, we will be having an in-depth review on this release shortly.
In the meantime, I seriously suggest picking it up.

Brian Williams got first dibs, interviewing Cook earlier tonight on NBC's Rock Center. It was a pretty standard issue CEO interview—laden with vague answers and lofty corporate sayings. But there were some pretty clear hints at a certain fabled future Apple product (it rhymes with vee tee), as well as some re-stating of today's news of more USA manufacturing of Macs. Cook does mention how Steve Jobs told him to never run Apple with a "what would Steve do" mentality and admits to the failure of Apple Maps. [Rock Center] Reply44 repliesLeave a reply

Maria Menounos on DWTS: The Pressure Is Unbelievable
By Chris Gardner
Maria Menounos does a lot of things. She's an accomplished host, seasoned actress and published author, and now she even runs her own digital TV network, AfterBuzz TV. But the one thing she doesn't do is dance.
That's about to change on March 19, when she makes her debut on "Dancing With the Stars" alongside pro Derek Hough for Season 14. Wonderwall caught up with the "Extra" darling to get the dish on how she's preparing, why she's so scared and, more importantly, what she's going to wear!
On her emotional state heading into the ballroom
"I'm definitely scared, and I'm definitely excited. I'm not the type of person who likes to let anybody down or be an embarrassment, so I feel the importance of dedicating myself to this. But there's a lot of pressure. Mario [Lopez, "Extra" co-host] came in second, and everyone keeps asking me, 'Do you think you'll do better than Mario?' I'm like, 'Crazy people, that means I have to win (laughs).' And then with Derek, the pressure is unbelievable. He's the all-time champ. People love him. And I can't be the bum partner that he got stuck with."

What can viewers expect from "Private Practice's" sixth season? "Brilliance and fireworks," says Brian Benben. But according to Benben, the 100th episode will contain "even more fireworks."
Zap2it caught up with the cast and creative team of the show during filming of the season's second episode — a.k.a. the lucky 100th — over the summer. It airs Tuesday (Oct. 2).
Mum's the word on the details, but Kate Walsh informs us, "It's very colorful, and I can predict that you will laugh and cry."
Though "colorful" could mean a number of things, creator Shonda Rhimes tells us, "I think we're going to see the characters doing things that we've never seen them do before. We're trying to do very different episodes this season, and I think this episode is very different from our usual way of telling story.
"There's a little bit that takes place at the practice, but most of it takes place outside the practice, which is very different for us."
Given the show's new storytelling style — more character-based, less procedural — Rhimes also teases, "What makes it out of the box is the way it's told."
Any ideas on what else could make this episode pop with color?
The 100th episode of "Private Practice" airs at 10 p.m. ET Tuesday on ABC.

A midlife crisis never sounded this good. For his upcoming sidequel/spinoff "This Is 40," Judd Apatow reached out to some pretty big names to write some new tunes for his movie, with more than a few song titles hinting at a rocky emotional ride for Pete (Paul Rudd) and Debbie (Leslie Mann).
Norah Jones, Fiona Apple, Graham Parker, and Lindsey Buckingham have all contributed new songs, produced by the film's composer Jon Brion, with Wilco and Ryan Adams providing new and/or live versions of "I Got You (At The End Of The Century)," "Lucky Now" and "Shining Through The Dark." (Does this mean there's going to be a Ryan Adams cameo in the film?). The rest of the set is rounded out with tunes by Yoko Ono, Paul McCartney, Avett Brothers, Loudon Wainwright and more. Pretty solid Dad rock mix all around.
The soundtrack drops on December 11th, and movie arrives on December 21st. [Salt Lake Tribune/"Dull Tool" embed via Prefix]

The foundation of Indian National Congress in 1885 was an attempt to narrow the Hindu-Muslim divide and place the genuine grievances of all the communities in the country before the British. But Sir Sayed and other Muslim leaders like Ameer Ali projected the Congress as a representative body of Hindus and thus, thwarted the first genuine attempt in the country for Hindu-Muslim unity. Poor participation of Muslims in Congress proves it. "Of the seventy-two delegates attending the first session of the Congress only two were Muslims". Muslim leaders opposed the Congress tooth and nail on the plea that Muslims' participation in it would create an unfavorable reaction among the rulers against their community.
Muslim orthodoxy or its patrons in elite sections in the community with the sword of 'religious identity' and slogan - 'Islam is in danger' continuously challenged the political awakening in Indian society if it directly or indirectly affected their superior status and influence. They therefore viewed the democratic and secular movement launched by the Congress - as challenge to their supremacy over the Hindus. Acceptance of Devanagari script and Hindi as an official language of United Province now Uttar Pradesh in place of Persian in 1900 by Lieutenant Governor A. Macdonnel was another significant development to stir the Muslims on communal line. No such aggressive resistance was made when the British replaced Persian with English in late thirties of nineteenth century. Sir Sayed Ahmed died in 1898 but his followers in defense of Urdu language launched agitation against the decision of the representative of British power in United Province.
On first October 1906 a 35-member delegation of the Muslim nobles, aristocracies, legal professionals and other elite section of the community mostly associated with Aligarh movement gathered at Simla under the leadership of Aga Khan to present an address to Lord Minto. They demanded proportionate representation of Muslims in government jobs, appointment of Muslim judges in High Courts and members in Viceroy's council etc. Though, Simla deputation failed to obtain any positive commitment from the Viceroy, it worked as a catalyst for foundation of AIML to safeguard the interests of the Muslims.
Under the active leadership of Aligarhians, the movements for Muslim separatism created political awakening among the Muslims on communal line. This ideology of political exclusivism in the name of religion gave birth to AIML in the session of All India Mohammedan Educational Conference held in Dacca (December 27-30, 1906). Nawab Salimullah, Chairman of the reception committee and convener of the political meeting proposed the creation of AIML. A 56-member provisional committee was constituted with prominent Muslim leaders from different parts of the country. Even some Muslim leaders within Congress like Ali Imam, Hasan Imam, Mazharul Haque (All Barristers from Bihar) and Hami Ali Khan (Barrister from Lucknow) were included in the committee. Mohsin-ul-Mulk and Viqar-ul-Mulk were jointly made the secrearies. After the death of Mohsin-ul-Mulk in 1907, Viqar-ul-Mulk was in full control of the League. First session of the League was held at Karanchi on December 29 & 30, 1907 with Adamjee Peerbhoy as its President.
Mohammad Ali Jinnah, a prominent leader of the Congress did not join the AIML till 1913 though, he supported the League movement for separate electorate for Muslims. He even successfully contested against the League candidate for the election of Viceroy's Legislative Council. Within the Congress he however always tried to bargain for one-third reservation for his community.
The formation of AIML was a major landmark in the history of modern India. The first formal entry of a centrally organized political party exclusively for Muslims had the following objectives:
Initially AIML remained a pocket organization of urbanized Muslims. However, the support of the British Government to the political Islamists in their non-secular intention as well as contemptuous attitude towards majority rule helped the League to become the sole representative body of Indian Muslims. To confront the challenge of modern political system, the AIML successfully achieved the status of separate electorates for the Muslims within three years of its formation. It was the first big achievement of the party, which granted separate constitutional identity to the Muslims. Lucknow Pact in 1916 put official seal on the separate identity of Muslims, which was another landmark in the separatist movement launched by the AIML.

DO YOU GIVE OFF THE WRONG SIGNALS?Why Isn't He Interested? See If You Are Giving Off The Wrong Signals
You are cute and fun, not clingy or desperate, so what's the deal? Do you feel like getting and keeping male attention is a puzzle that you just can't figure out? Maybe you are giving off the wrong signals. ARE YOU GIVING OFF THE WRONG SIGNALS? The worst thing about giving off the wrong signals is that you don't even know it. You may not even recognize that you are turning guys away even as you are trying to attract them. First, ask yourself: What is your perception of love, relationships and men? Do you think that falling in love is only a matter of time and of meeting the right man? Or do you think that almost all relationships are doomed, love is a joke and most men are jerks? If your opinion is the latter, then your negative view of relationships and men will show through any of your actions that try to contradict this underlying attitude. You may be batting your lashes, but guys are picking up other cues, both verbal and non-verbal, that you are a secret member of the "Men Suck" club. Your conscious brain can tell itself you want a romantic relationship all day long, but if deep down your subconscious brain has the opposite opinion, this older, more powerful brain will shine through every time. Or perhaps you are being too friendly to everyone, and guys can't tell if you are giving them the right signal or giving them the same signal as everyone else. Remember, males tend to have very fragile egos, and as a rule they prefer staying silent to risking (your) rejection. If you are treating everyone the same, they won't be able to tell if you are interested in them or just being nice. Find a way to show that special guy that you think just that, by flirting more heavily with him and less so with the other guys around. Maybe you are not being friendly enough. For some reason, some girls tend to think that acting rude, bitchy or too-cool-for-school gives them a higher status than others. Wrong. Humans don't like to hang out with jerks; moreover being a snooty priss only displays the fact that like a grade-school bully, you have low self-esteem and really don't like yourself all that much. And nothing is less attractive than a girl with no confidence. Wrong signals are often imperceptible movements, facial expressions, gestures, tone of voice, words, and attitudes that are very hard to pin down and eliminate. The only way to truly rid yourself of giving off these wrong signals is to change the way you think. If you think you are a loser, you will give off an "I am a loser" vibe, no matter how hot you look or how funny you are. If you get your inner thoughts in line, your actions will follow. Soon you will be giving off all the right signals – warm eye contact, relaxed smile, and an attitude that you know love is possible, but you aren't going to force it. You want to have fun and make meaningful connections, not desperately chase a man because you are lonely. You are creating a beautiful life for yourself, and when the right guy comes along, he will be lucky- and given all the right signals.

Reach Carla at 336.902.4878 to learn more about our historic homestead, established in the early 1900s and is filled with glimpses of the past!
Available for long-term rentals for traveling professionals. Contact 336.902.4878 for details.
This old log cabin will accommodate 2-4 guests and invites its visitors to enjoy a step back in time amid the antiques and period furnishings. This is a one of a kind old cabin with craftsmanship reflected in the handmade pine plank doors, rolled window glass, stone fireplace and much more. Old quilts, burlap curtains and accessories will carry you back in time to make your stay one of the most memorable experiences ever!
Sip wine under the stars, watch deer graze in the pastures, or just sit back & relax! The historic farmhouse is located just 5 minutes off I-77 & very close to Princeton. Why stay overnight in a hotel when this beautiful place is just a short drive away?
Things on the farm remain pretty much the way they were when great grandma lived there in the early 1900's. Guests today have a few more modern conveniences including wifi, landline, tv, and . . . a bathroom, replacing the old outhouse that once stood on the farm.
Your bedroom comes complete with natural air conditioning, made possible by raising the old rolled glass windows and propping them up with a stick. The freshness of the cool mountain air filling the room brings with it the night sounds of owls and crickets chirping softly in the stillness..
If a rain should be falling on the old tin roof, you're in for a special treat. There's nothing like listening to the soothing raindrops as you curl up with a good book or nap the entire afternoon..
Guests can go for a walk to the old barn, go fishing in the river, watch deer graze in the pastures, or make conversation around the crackling firepit while roasting marshmallows and taking in the beauty of a clear, starlit night.
Time stands still at this old farm, rusted glimpses of days gone by, inviting guests to visit and remember when life was simpler. Paradise awaits!
12% tax added to pricing; Please call or email with any questions or requests before making a reservation.We take reservations on several sites, so please make sure the farmhouse is available before booking by emailing.
Also, rates are slightly higher for holiday periods and some have a 3 night minimum.
Our family has been in the hospitality business for over 25 years, operating a Bed & Breakfast Inn as well as vacation rentals in the southern West Virginia area. Making sure our guests are comfortable and receive individual attention is important to us. When planning your next vacation, don't stay in a hotel or motel. Experience life surrounded by peace and calm in the countryside. You will be glad you did! Both our B & B and cabins have been featured in various newspaper articles throughout the years. We are members of the Southern West Virginia Convention & Visitors Bureau and the Mercer County Convention & Visitors Bureau, as well as SkiSoutheast.
Carla Leslie purchased this cabin in 1900
This historic farmhouse and grounds sits where the Shawnee Indians once lived in the Bluestone Valley. The homestead is one of the most historic sites in Mercer County.
Our guests enjoy beautiful star-lit nights, the soothing sounds of crickets and owls, and when raining, the tranquil sounds of raindrops falling on the old tin roof. This setting is hard to find but certainly exists at our historic farm retreat.
This historical cabin is so charming. It truly feels like you have stepped back in time once you enter it. Very comfortable and Carla was very attentive to our needs. We looked forward to the mornings in the sunroom sipping our coffee watching the deer graze. We enjoyed our days at Pipestem State Park, hiking, riding the tram and paddle boating on the lake. Great place to unwind!
We had a great time visiting WV for a Spring Break weekend. The cabin is just as the pictures appear. It is very old but very well maintained. It reminded me of going to my great grandmother house when I was little. The quilts on the bed are just like I remember as a kid. Heavy and warm. Its is very peaceful and secluded but yet only a short drive from the interstate. We visited Winterplace ski resort and ACE Adventure Resort for their zip line. I would love to go back during the Summer months and do the white water rafting on the New River or Gauley. The only slight draw back is the beds. They could use an upgrade at some point but I definitely would go back regardless of that.We grilled out every night and ate on the back porch which is wonderful. I also enjoyed reading the history of the cabin. Our whole family gave it two thumbs up:)
My parents rented this fantastic log cabin for a month in August. I was fortunate enough to be with them for a few days to help them get settled in. The cabin was immaculate and very well stocked. It is much larger inside than it appears in the photos. We loved the log cabin construction and the attention to detail. It was a trip back in time. They had a very relaxing stay sitting on the front porch glider, reading on the sunporch, going for walks, and watching the deer in the yard in the mornings and evenings. They even roasted hot dogs in the fire pit. There are great mountain views all around. Carla was easy to work with and very helpful. We will definitely stay at the Country Cabin again and highly recommend it!!!
This cabin is an absolute treasure! We feel so lucky that the family rents it out and shares it with others! The cabin is immaculate when you arrive and is very cozy. We stayed for 3 nights to ski at Winterplace and the location is great! A 20 minute drive and you are at the ski mountain! Very easy access to I-77. For those who appreciate craftsmanship, this cabin is a real treat! It is a shining example of log cabin construction. It is in remarkable shape for being close to 100 yrs. old. It is solid as a rock with not one warped board or log! The owner has a very interesting history of the cabin and her ancestors that she shares with guests. It makes you feel like a special visitor---or even one of the family!! We loved the "back in time" ambiance of the cabin, but must admit the WIFI and sat. TV are a nice addition!!! Communication and booking through the owner couldn't be easier. We are VRBO owners and rent almost all of our vacation accommodations throught VRBO and this has been one of the best by far! A fabulous experience you shouldn't miss!!
My family and I enjoyed our stay at this old cabin. We especially enjoyed waking up in the early hours, sitting on the sunporch and sipping coffee, listening to the birds and watching the deer eat apples from the tree in the back yard. Great vacation! The owner went out of the way to supply us with things to see and do near the cabin. It is a cozy old cabin that had everything we needed.

Ambience/Ambiance: Weekly Photo Challenge
It was Margie over at Fueled by Chocolate blog who alerted me to the two possibilities of spelling and inspired the title of this post and Jeff Golenski at WordPress challenged bloggers to post a photo illustrating ambience.
And then my neighbor, Joaquin, is always encouraging me to make photographs with the things I have in my home. I took his advice tonight and thought I might do a whole series of ambience/ambiance- creating still lifes to lift my spirits.
I definitely lifted my mood by creating this little scene. My original intent was to show the tulips in the hammered aluminum pitcher but since I have been knitting all week I went to my living room bookshelf and found the rabbit figurines waiting to be photographed. Oh and I pulled out the good camera instead of the phone today. It's that wonderful Canon 50mm 1.2 L series lens that allowed me to take the shot with scant light.
"Ambience is the atmosphere of one's surrounding environment. It basically boils down to how one's surroundings impact the human senses and alter the feelings of an individual. Things like light, temperature, smell, sound, and sometimes taste, all work together to create ambience. The term ambience usually refers to a positive atmosphere that uplifts a person's mood. As an example, one might say, "Wow, this place has real ambience!"
Winter's Antidote
Tulips in the Sun
Last week I borrowed Erika's pink tulips in Ohio and put the vase outside in the snow to photograph the contrast.
Perhaps you saw that post.
My sister is the one who said, "Buy Spring flowers like the Germans did when you lived in Germany" and I took her advice.
This morning I went to the market to get some fresh produce and a bunch of tulips was 4.99 which I thought was well worth it. They're from Virginia.
What a different feeling a bouquet of Spring tulips can bring to your spirit.
"We lost an hour of winter", Mary told me when we set the clocks forward.
This afternoon the sun came in through the dining room window but it didn't hit the table so I put the vase on the floor to catch the light.
Hope for Imminent Spring could be another title.
p.s. My sister wrote an early email after she saw the Tulips in the Sun post to ask me "did you remember to put the 3 pennies in the water? It make the tulips last longer. Hint from the Brooklyn Botanic Garden."
Tulips in the Snow
Sad Tulip in a Swan Neck Vase
This lone tulip was left out of the water overnight. I tried to revive it, see if it could stand up again. Gave it a drink.
The curved lines seem to repeat.
My dad gave me two of these vases ages ago.
The students have been photographing the white tulips and painting them in Photoshop elements
to make them a color.
Communication Via Photographs from Readers
Today's post features GUEST Bloggers Photographs from different friends who follow my blog
One of the most satisfying aspects of keeping a blog is the response from readers.
The likes, the comments and the emails. The emails and messages with photos attached are always a pleasure to receive.
Some will say they saw something and they knew I would have photographed it.
Tulips Yoga Socks, A Lost Glove, First Pussy Willow, An Albino Goose, NYTimes Crossword Puzzle, A Knitted Blanket
I'll start with Colleen's guest contribution.
The subject of her email was Springtime Goodness and then the lovely photograph and the line –
"Today is a good day to be happy." ( I like your thinking Colleen )
Joanne finished a pair of hand knitted yoga socks for her daughter
and the link for the yoga socks pattern
My sister sent me the last glove of Winter- New York City
My sister Mary sent me sign of Spring – Pussy Willow from the Brooklyn Botanic Gardens
Marlene sent me this from Florida today. A Sting Ray. Hiding.
and a beautiful Florida sunset
Florida Vegetation from Mar
From Guest Blogger Bobbie in Kansas says "South Lake Park, Overland Park, Kansas. I noticed it driving to work the other morning and thought it was a swan mixed up with the geese, but could not stop as I had to be in the hospital, but was happy to see them yesterday on the way home. It has red eyes, and light colored feet and bill. The other geese were very protective and I could not get close."
Vincie knit this soft and pretty toddler blanket and set me a photo so I could see how the pattern was working out. I am making a similar blanket.
Bill sent Saturday's New York Times Puzzle completed Clue #56 was "Light Insufficiently"
From Arleen
"You are rubbing off on me–I sat down to dinner a couple of weeks ago and caught a pretty reflection in my wine glass. I of course thought "If Ruth were here, she'd be pulling out her camera and taking a picture!" So, I did it for you! : ) Let me know what you think! I used one with a flash, one without." Flash or no flash?
Happy Chinese New Year- Year of the Snake
Mine is a single photograph today…..For a beautiful and informative post on the Chinese New Year be sure to click here
By Special Request- A Tulip Bouquet
Watch Your Lettuce!
Steve and I picked up Dorothy to go to her daughter's for dinner. As she got in the car, the rabbit hopped across her front lawn to her tulips. She's planted lettuce in the back garden. It was late in the day, the light coming from the side. When I see a rabbit I think of Watership Down(click link for more info). I liked the book but not the movie.

--You may (very possibly indeed) be vastly more talented than I am, yet I find it difficult to believe that your guard game is really much good after training for less than a year.
But using eddies **** let me get an upper hand on some people, and I don't think his ideologies should be completely discarded....
Do you think that it makes more sense to master solid basics (that will surprise no one but have a proven track record in spite of being familiar) or to gain modest competence with unusual gimmicks that will work against people who haven't seen them before, but which by the same token you will never be forced to develop to the same level? Keep in mind that if you use move X to catch people by surprise, you may 'win' a bunch of rolls, but you won't learn to apply it to people who know what you're doing.[ petterhaggholm.net | blog | essays ]

I also am speaking as someone that owns both Mastering the Rubber Guard and JJ unleased. I went through a rubberguard/lockdown/electric chair phase. I still use a few pieces of 10th planet stuff that mix well with the rest of my game, but BEFORE you can pick those pieces out you REALLY need to develop a game made out of solid basics that will later support your 10th planet tools.

--Yea, I agree with you guys that basics are very important, to be honest, I utilize eddies half guard game, and his mission control, besides that I don't use much of his other stuff. I do really appreciate how he sytematically breaks down bjj though. instead of doing "this" and "that" at least he put a label to some things and that's what I really like about him.
Although, in the book he does say the same thing most of you guys have. Master the basics.
I'm off to practice thanks for the help. If you guys think I should get another type of book that's on no-gi basics I'll go buy it later tonight. I heard the gracies have some DVD, but I'm to lazy to look for what I'm thinking about lol.

Kin nailed it. I am built exactly like you - 6'1 173lb. Use what you have man - I have long, strong legs, so I tend toward closed guard as my base and sweeps sweeps sweeps.
PS - watch Eddie Bravo's competition grappling videos. You will notice how very little of his Rubber Guard is actually utilized by him. This speaks volumes."Never trust a quote you read on the internet" - Abraham Lincoln


text: Income tax returns Exempt non-profit organisations Not-for-profit organisations that are exempt from income tax do not need to lodge an income tax return unless we specifically ask them to. Taxable organisations If your not-for-profit organisation is taxable (that is, not exempt from income tax), it may have to lodge an income tax return using the company tax return. For income tax purposes, taxable not-for-profit organisations are treated as either: non-profit companies other taxable companies. This distinction is important because non-profit companies have special arrangements for lodging tax returns and special rates of income tax. A non-profit company that is an Australian resident with a taxable income over the taxable threshold of $416 per year must lodge a company tax return. Other taxable companies are taxed on every dollar of taxable income. They must lodge an income tax return each year, regardless of their taxable income. Therefore, to work out whether your organisation needs to lodge a company tax return, you need to do all of the following: determine if your organisation is a non-profit company or other taxable company know your organisation's taxable threshold for lodgment calculate your organisation's taxable income. See also: Do you have to pay income tax? Guide to company tax return for not-for-profit organisations for the current and previous income years. While some types of not-for-profit organisations are exempt from income tax, others are taxable and may need to lodge an income tax return.Last modified: 20 Jul 2015QC 33562

Dancing for the purple and gold
Draped in purple and gold, Blake Blankenship performs for thousands of spectators at the Staples Center as a member of the Laker Girls.
Blankenship, 20, who grew up in Yorba Linda and still lives here, got into dance at age 6 by learning ballet, tap and jazz at the Academy of Ballet and Dance in town. Blankenship's father, Jeff, a former minor leaguer with the Detroit Tigers, encouraged Blake and her siblings to try out for sports, but that never caught on with the future Laker Girl.
"I started dancing first and then my dad pushed sports, so then I took a break from dancing and tried volleyball and softball and decided dance was for me," said Blake Blankenship, a first-year Laker Girl. "Once I started, it just clicked."
Once for Christmas, her dad surprised her with a schedule for dance classes and said he'd enroll her in whatever class she wanted.
At Esperanza High, Blankenship got her first taste of cheerleading on the school's song team. She liked the idea of being in front of a crowd at basketball and football games. Blankenship is attending Fullerton College, where she joined the dance team.
Coach Ange Andros quickly recognized her willingness to take criticism and change her dancing.
"I think she went through some challenges with me," Andros said. "She did everything I've ever asked of her."
Andros worked with Blankenship to make her dance moves tighter, sharper. Andros likes to pass down her experience from five years as a cheerleader for the Los Angeles Rams and one year with the Charger Girls in San Diego. She has two other former students besides Blankenship who are Laker Girls and has had others with the Boston Celtics, Los Angeles Clippers and San Diego Chargers.
When Blankenship found out that she was one of 35 finalists to make the cut from hundreds of contestants, she called her mom. Her parents record every game and fast-forward to catch glimpses of her.
But the person she was most excited to tell after she got the final word was her grandmother.
"All of her life, she had been a Lakers fan," Blankenship said. "At 75 years old, she (would) put on her Lakers jersey."
Blankenship's grandmother died just three days before her first game, though.
"That was the biggest heartbreak – that she never got to see me," Blankenship said.
But Blankenship will always have the special memory of telling her – her grandmother was eating a big hamburger, dropped it and screamed in delight.

The Colorado and Green rivers have played a significant role in shaping the landscape of Canyonlands, and seeing the park from the bottom up affords a unique perspective. Above their confluence near the heart of Canyonlands, the rivers offer miles and miles of flat water perfect for canoes, sea kayaks and other shallow-water boats. Below the confluence, the combined flow of both rivers spills down Cataract Canyon with remarkable speed and power, creating a fourteen-mile stretch of Class III to V white water.
Private Permits Permits are required for all overnight private river trips. Permits can be reserved no more than four months, and no fewer than two days, before the permit start date. For a successful river trip, it is essential to practice proper food handling & sanitation and water purification techniques, and to abide by toilet requirements and other river regulations. (Read through some river incident reports for examples of unsuccessful trips.) Guided Trips Local outfitters offer a variety of guided trips, from half-day excursions to week-long floats. Most river trips involve several nights of camping. Flows River flows are dependent upon snowmelt and rainfall. The character of the rivers changes dramatically depending on the season. High water generally stretches from early May to late June, while low water may occur later in summer. Both conditions can present challenges to boaters. Recorded river flows are available from the US Geological Survey or by calling (801) 539-1311. Snowmelt peak flow forecasts are available from the Colorado Basin River Forecast Center. Also on this subject: Launch/Takeout Options On both rivers, all launch ramps are outside park boundaries. Launch locations on the Green River include Green River State Park, Ruby Ranch or Mineral Bottom. On the Colorado, boaters typically use the Potash or Moab ramps. There is no vehicle access to the rivers near the Confluence or in Cataract Canyon. Past Cataract, boaters most often takeout at Lake Powell. While hiking trails lead to the rivers from each of the districts, these trails are too long and rugged to be seriously considered for shuttles, unless groups use equipment designed for this purpose (e.g. pack rafts). Shuttle Services Two companies are licensed to provide river shuttles (upstream and downstream) in Canyonlands National Park:

A quick word of warning. The epilogue scene from Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 2 is being re-filmed, due to concerns that the make-up and special effects used to age the trio were unrealistic looking, and made them look more like pensioners, rather than parents in their thirtys. The scenes are being re-shot now, and will feature new techniques to produce he right ageing effect. Thefore, all the images we have right now from the epilogue will not be in the film, and should be removed.[1] Grindeldore 11:10, December 10, 2010 (UTC)
