|Our grown-up Christmas Tree. Pay no mind to the hand-me down, work-in-progress backround decor.
When decorating your tree, keep in mind that the Christmas season is a very personal time of year, and your holiday decorations should reflect that as much as possible. Your Christmas tree should never look like it could be picked up and dropped in a department store or someone else's house; it should look yours to the max.
So how do you decorate a tree that looks beautiful but still incorporates personal elements? It's actually quite easy.
Figure out where you want to put the tree
This step is important because it will determine what size and style tree you need, which helps make the tree feel like part of everyday décor and not just some gigantic piece sitting awkwardly in your living room.
I think that the best place for your tree is the room where you will see it most, because why have a tree when you aren't even in the same room to enjoy it? Once you pick a room for your tree, find a spot that still allows a clear walking path through the room. We put ours in the middle of our picture window on the front of our house, so we get to enjoy it inside and show it off to the neighborhood at the same time.
Find a gorgeous tree
I find that when you want to be specific about your tree decorating, artificial trees afford much more freedom, are easier to put up, and more stable once they are up because you weren't messing with a tree stand. Don't hate me for this. I also think that real trees can look majestic and smell wonderful. Personally, I have an artificial tree because it works for me right now, but I think that real trees can be beautiful too.
We needed a full-sized tree for the spot we picked in front of our picture window in order to make the proportions work. Walmart was selling 6.5-foot trees for $40, but they looked pretty fake, and the space really needed something 7 feet tall. The nicer, taller trees were around $100, and I wasn't prepared to spend that much just one the tree itself (I'd already spent that much on garland). Using my favorite source, I picked up a beautiful pre-lit 7.5 foot tree on Craigslist for $60! The tree was in a shorter box, so I was able to fit it in the back seat of my car. If you are finding that you can't afford a tree, I suggest asking around if someone in your family is trying to get rid of one, or taking to Craigslist.
I could go on and on about trees, but perhaps I will save that for another post in order to speed this one up a bit.
Choose a style for your decorations
I say choose a style before choosing a color scheme because your style plays into your color scheme a lot. Are you going for Hollywood glam? Something super feminine and pretty? How about something contemporary and masculine? I decided to use a mix of vintage and natural elements into my decorations.
Choose a color scheme
Choosing a color scheme for your "backdrop" ornaments and other elements like garland is a good way to make your tree look unified while giving you room to include more personal elements that may not "go" per-say with your design aesthetic. Initially, I chose to incorporate red, silver and silvery-blue into my tree. After putting up some decorations, I determined that I also wanted a little lime green in there too. I chose this color scheme because it worked well with our existing décor, which has a lot of greens, blues, and reds in it already.
Like I mentioned previously, the style you selected definitely affects your color scheme. If you're going soft and feminine, you'll likely want to use pinks, bright blues, and lime greens. If you're going mega glam, you'll probably want lots of metallic gold, silver, and even mirrored items.
Buy the bones
I refer to the elements like garland, round ball ornaments, and any other kind of fillers as the "bones" of the tree. These are the pieces that anchor and establish both the style and color scheme of your tree.
I love using a mixture of different size and texture round ball ornaments in my chosen color scheme on the tree. They reflect light beautifully and fill a tree quickly. I bought a mixture of red, silver-blue, silver, and green balls from Walmart and Michael's. Plastic ornaments appear to be far more readily available this year at places like Target and Walmart, and they're actually cheaper than glass balls. I still prefer the glass ornaments, but I'm on a budget, so I mixed. The Michael's glass ornaments were on sale for $4, and I used those when I couldn't find the color green I was looking for at Walmart.
Round ball ornaments aren't the only type of filler ornaments that work well on the tree. As long as the ornaments are consistent, and relatively simple in color, and are repeated throughout the tree, they will work to establish a unified look. Some ideas for other types of ornaments include glass or white plastic snowflakes, glass icicles, or even pine cones.
When it comes to selecting garland, I chose an economical kind: silver-blue plastic beaded, $3 for 9 feet at Walmart. I used the thin beaded kind because I liked the way it would reflect light, but be a relatively subtle element on the tree. There are many different materials that you can use as garland. Some of my other favorites are ribbon, feather boas, and paper chains.
One type of filler that few people consider is the sticks of leaf-like pieces or flowers at the craft store. Using these faux branches or flowers by sticking them in the tree is a fun way to add interest and depth to your masterpiece.
Let the decorating begin
If you are putting lights on your tree, you want to essentially wrap the lights around the branches of the tree instead of draping the lights like garland. This gives the tree more depth by illuminating the inside of it.
Once the tree is lit, the first thing I put on is garland. A lot of people think that garland needs to go continuously around the tree, and that they should drape it over the branch. Garland doesn't actually need to look like one continuous piece. As long as you have it placed in semi circles around different parts of the tree, it should look good. Rather than draping garland over a branch, I learned from the Christmas attic that a great way to hang garland is by using an ornament hook to hang the garland from the underside of the branch. This gives you a little more control when hanging the garland, and helps the garland drape better.
When putting up ornaments, I like to put up one color at a time so that I made sure that ornaments of the same color were distributed throughout the tree. First I hang the largest ornaments, and gradually fill in with smaller ones. It's important during this process to constantly be stepping back to see the tree as one big picture so that you're placing things in good spots on the tree.
|Hang your garland underneath the tree branch.
After I hung the ornaments, I stuck white feathers that I bought for $1.99 at Michael's in branches around the tree to give it a little softness. Initially, I bought the feathers because I was worried that the tree would look too bare. I was wrong on that feeling, but I still like the softness they add to the tree.
After hanging the "bones", we all decorated the tree with what personal ornaments we have. Roomie 1 actually had quite a few ornaments because her dad is getting remarried gave her most of his Christmas decorations to make room for his move. We put as much of those ornaments on the tree as we could, no matter how many times Roomie 2 said "oh my gosh this is so tacky, we have to use this!!" I LOVE that Roomie 1 had all those personal ornaments. Maybe the ninja turtles aren't the prettiest thing on the tree, but they give our tree character and give it a personal, collected-over-the-years feeling that a Christmas tree should have. I actually have an entire box of ornaments given to me by grandparents and parents every year, but they are nice and I'm not ready to bring them with me until I buy a house myself (my mom was thrilled that she didn't have to part with them yet). I did have some ornaments that I collected during college when I was decorating a mini tree for my apartment there.
If you're a young renter like me and you don't have many personal ornaments, try asking your parents if there are any that they'd like to part with. Even if they're not flawless pieces of art, they'll remind you of your family when you see them on the tree. I also think it's a great idea for roommates to make a few ornaments for your tree to give it personal aspects that are specific to your house, not just your family. You can do this simply by painting glass balls or cardboard shapes like those from Paper Source, or you can get a little more creative with paper and other craft supplies. Regardless of your strategy, work hard to incorporate all of your roommates into the tree.
|Roomie 1's Ninja Turtles Ornament (can you tell what decade we were born in?)
|I'm so thrilled we found this in Roomie 1's box of ornaments. It's an ornament from her parents' first Christmas together.
|I bought the flower ornament from West Elm this year, and the glass ornament is a Christopher Radko reproduction of vintage Shiny Brite ornaments.
Some additional tree-decorating tips:
- Ornament hooks are your friend. Even if you have an ornament with a string on it, I suggest putting an ornament hook through the hole through which the string is threaded. This is good because strings are often cut too long for the ornament, and if you hang it on one branch it's likely to sit between two lower branches.
- Floral wire can be used instead of ornament hooks to hang ornaments more securely to the tree. Keep in mind that when you do this, the ornament removal process will be much longer than if you were using hooks.
- Hang ornaments at varying depths in the tree to give the tree dimension.
- Pay attention to the placement of lights when putting ornaments on the tree. Not only do they reflect beautifully off of glass ball ornaments, they also light up details in some of your more ornate ornaments.
- It's better to have too many ornaments on a tree than too few.
- If you have sets of ornaments, hang them together in one vignette on the tree. For example, my family has a set of three snowmen of the same style (one for each kid) and we hang them together as a group.
- If your tree is in front of a window, don't worry too much about decorating the side of the tree facing the window. Unless your window is right on a sidewalk, most people can't see what's on the tree when the lights are on.
- Always take time to step back from your tree and see how the whole package looks.
Top It All Off
Most people think of the traditional star or angel to top their tree, but there are many other options for tree toppers.
- Bows are an inexpensive tree topper, and can easily be changed from year to year. You can have one made at a craft store, buy one at a store or nursery (the Christmas Attic makes them with their own ribbon all the time), or learn how to make one yourself.
- Cluster glass ball ornaments together with floral wire and wire them to the top of the tree
- Cluster long feathers, branches, or other fillers at the top of the tree and hide stems with ribbon or ornaments
- If you have a tree topper that looks too small on a large tree, sit it on top of a bow or cluster glass ball ornaments at the base of it to make the proportion of the entire package more in keeping with the rest of your tree.
When decorating your tree, just be creative! There's no rule that says you have to stick to conventional tree toppers or garland, and some of the coolest trees are the ones that incorporate unexpected elements into them. Happy decorating!

Kerryon Johnson has career day as Auburn takes down Ole Miss
Brown to one catch over two games. Johnson has now scored at least three touchdowns in three consecutive games, which makes him the only player in the SEC to accomplish that feat in the last 20 years. All three of the touch downs happened inside the 10-yard line. Daniel Carlson was ideal on field goals for the afternoon, providing all of Auburn's second half scoring.

Outcasts and Refugees
Copies of The Analects of Kuryon found their way across
the north. Among those who read the work was a bitter
shadar-kai exile named Thoran. Once an apprentice to a
cabal of Shadowfell sages, Thoran was banished for stealing
forbidden tomes in pursuit of ultimate knowledge.
In his thirst for lore, Thoran had delved deep into the
secrets of Netheril, including tales in which the arcanists
of Saharelgard were said to have bound and controlled
arcane spirits of great power. When Thoran read the
Analects and learned the legends of Spellgard, his twisted
mind hatched a dark plan. If the restless spirit of Lady
Saharel could be ritually bound, she could be forced to
answer question after question, thus granting her interrogator
power over past, present, and future.
After gathering a number of impressionable followers
in his charismatic wake, Thoran journeyed to Spellgard
two months ago. From his advanced knowledge of Saharelgard
legend, he was able to find his way to the Scepter
Tower by negotiating the long-lost catacombs below, disabling
the magical wards that had protected the site for
millennia. From the tower's heights, he now surveys the
ruined fortress. His followers hunt for the alabaster pillars
he needs to perform the binding ritual, capture Lady Saharel,
and fuel his ambitions of conquest.
His plans were thwarted and he and his servants were slain by the unnamed party of Aedric, Dvallin, Rivyet and Darcarryn.
Unbeknownst to them, he was taking his path towards death, when messengers of his goddess informed him that he could still be of service to her. It was a strange time and changes were coming. He was offered a station of command in undeath and he graciously accepted the offer. His wraith form was transformed and given rotting flesh. Then the shell was given great power as a Death Knight. He commanded his legions in the Shadowfell and served in Shar's vast network.
He nearly succeeded in defeating the foes that robbed him of his mortal life and stood in the way of his Goddess' plans. His forces were mighty, but they were mightier. He and his soldiers were felled, save for one death hurling wight who fled in cowardice, while the cleric was unconscious.

The fictional world George R.R Martin has created sees to be a cruel and unforgiving domain. With blood and battles around every corner, each character prays that father George R.R, wielding his mighty quill, will grant them even an ounce of happiness. However, they're usually beheaded and thrown into a lake before they can even finish their prayers.
Ah, the glorious grounds of Game of Thrones; gore, wargs, and wildlings abundant. The mythical land pits several noble leaders fighting tooth and nail for the Iron Throne, and the right to call themselves the king (or queen) of the Andals.
The map of the fantasy world resembles something of a newly post pangean earth, with some speculating that Westeros is just Great Britain turned upside down.The globe isn't the only similarity that can be seen between our world and theirs, the all great Mr Martin has loosely based King's Landing on a medieval United Kingdom, depicting this through the monarchical hierarchy; the peasants are terribly poor and the noble are extremely rich, there are very few in between.
The likeness between the two arena's is undeniable, the author has clearly plucked traits from our present day to add a relatability factor with the modern audience. With many aspects of our realities being transferable, it makes us wonder how we would do if the roles were switched. Would I be Lord Commander of the Night's Watch? Who would make the best Mother of Dragons? And would someone clear Peter Dinklage's schedule so he could be Tyrion full time? It could also work vice versa. How would Jon Snow handle being a fireman? Would Daenerys become a zoologist specialising in Komodo dragons? And would someone clear Tyrion's schedule so he could be Peter Dinklage full time?
What about real estate agents? This is a profession like no other, it requires equal amounts of suave, charisma and prowess to be successful. How would our Game of Thrones characters hold up?
We've sifted through the hundreds of wonderfully talented Game of Thrones persona's and narrowed them to the five that we believe would make the best real estate agents. To measure the remaining five candidates, we'll be ranking them on five characteristics imperative for all great real estate agents;
Our five finalist will be given a star rating for each category, dependant on evidence for them displaying that skill. For each characteristic there will be a maximum 5 star rating.
In no particular order, here are our five Game of Thrones Characters that would make great real estate agents.
Also, SPOILERS ALERT!
Petyr "LittleFinger" Baelish
Head of house Baelish, Petyr was previously Master of Coin, mostly because of his successful ring of brothels throughout King's Landing. A hopeless romantic, who lost out on the love of his life – Catelyn – to the great Ned Stark.
Owner of the most manipulative tongue in Westeros, Lord Baelish could sell ice to an eskimo. While being a crook, Petyr has managed to talk his way into serving some of the most notable lords and kings through his time in King's Landing. He even worked alongside the Queen mother, Cersei Lannister, who really trusts no one.
Despite his confident and suave demeanor now, Little Finger grew up with nothing. He came from humble, almost peasantry beginnings and worked his way up to become one of the most powerful and influential men in all of King's Landing. Just imagine the climbing he could do on the property ladder.
Aside from being cunning, Lord Baelish is probably best known for his circle of brothels which have played host to the most noble of people in King's Landing (I'm looking at you High Septon). While owning and successfully running such a business in King's Landing is impressive enough, "Brothel Baelish" has opened several establishments across the whole of Westeros.
Nothing motivates Petyr more than power. While a motivation for power may not easily be transferred to real estate, it's still admirable. He's gone to great feats for a small taste of authority, from betraying Catelyn to pushing his own wife down the moon door (who had it coming). Regardless of the destination of his motivation, it's undeniable.
Baelish has gotten into verbal battles with the best of them, always keeping his condescending cool. However, he hasn't been the most reasonable of people. Yes, he managed to persuade Olenna – who hates Lord Baelish – to remove Jeoffrey from power, but it doesn't go much further than this. Little Finger likes to get his way, usually at any cost and does not take lightly to those who go against him. Maybe house price negotiation isn't for him.
Tyrion Lannister
The dwarf son of Tywin Lannister, the hated brother of Cersei Lannister and the funnily adored brother of Jaime Lannister. Tyrion is of royal blood but from the trials and tribunes in his life you wouldn't think so. Constantly being discriminated against for his dwarfism, Tyrion has used his wit and charm to get himself where he needed to be, from the Hand to the King to the advisor of the great Khaleesi.
Due to Tyrion's size he couldn't fight his battles with his body, so he fought them with his words. This has given him one of the sharpest and most relatable minds in all of Westeros. He's able to form allegiances with all sorts of people (and animals) from Jon Snow, to Jorah, to dragons. If talking to a dragon was easy, a house seller will be a walk in the park.
Despite his lack of fighting prowess, Tyrion has never once backed down from a challenge, notably his quest to prove his worthiness to his father. Tywin always resented Tyrion for being a dwarf, and being the result of his wife's death during childbirth. Tyrion with a perpetual chip on his shoulder, did everything to earn the respect of his father which eventually led to him becoming Hand to the King.
Tyrion has only been able to display his organisational abilities when given the opportunity. At the Battle of Blackwater, Tyrion managed to lead an entire army to victory against Stannis' advances. In Daenerys' absence he gathered the leaders of the slave states which is leading to the eventual abolishment of slavery and the funding of the Son's of the Harpy.
A very motivated man, when he wants to be. Tyrion thrives on his time spent advising Daenerys' and has made some very inspiring speeches in his role, however, most of the time he would rather be drinking his day away in a brothel.
Tyrion has not only been able to talk his way into the good books of the powerful and noble, he's been able to convince them to do as he pleases. When confronted by the feral tribesmen of the Vale, he not only convinced the men NOT to kill him but to serve him! If the feral tribesmen were not vicious enough, Tyrion saw a similar scenario where he persuaded dragons not to eat the help!
Tywin Lannister
Now the late Tywin Lannister, in his heyday, he was the Lord of House Lannister and the richest man in the Seven Kingdoms. Before being struck off by his own son (we won't say who, but it isn't Jaime), he was one of the only men that Joffrey listened to and respected during his reign.
Tywin served as the Hand to the Mad King for nearly twenty years, a man who was true to his name and someone no one could get through to. Yet, The Mad King listened and heeded Tywin's advice. He even became the unofficial ruler of the realm during the Mad King's fall. If he was able to foster peace throughout Westeros, real estate would be a piece of cake.
Tywin was the son of Tytos Lannister – a man who almost ruined House Lannister. When Tywin took over, he was persistent in ensuring the Lannister house was brought back to its former glory by demolishing anyone who rebelled (most notably, the House Reyne of Castemere; house Reyne was eventually immortalised in the song "The Reynes of Castemere", a song which was later associated with the Red Wedding.)
Tywin is undeniably organised, he was the head of House Lannister for a number of years, one of the most powerful houses in Westeros and he ensure they lived up to their name. In his time as head of House Lannister, he lead and won a war against the King of the North, before settling down to his cushy number, serving as the Hand to King Joffrey.
To Tywin, the Lannister name means everything. It is one of his only motivations in life to keep the Lannister house untarnished. This is illustrated through his constant quips to Tyrion being a disgrace of the name.
Tywin is responsible for the most dramatic slaughter in all the lands, just because he wanted it. Lannister, was able to convince Roose Bolton (one of the most sinister men you'll ever meet) to orchestrate the Red Wedding.
Oberyn Martell aka The Red Viper of Dorne
Prince Oberyn, younger brother of Doran and Elia Martell, the Dornish native is well known for his exotic fighting techniques (usually accompanied by a poisoned blade, hence "Viper") and boundless sexual appetite.
Oberyn is renowned for his charm, with his rolling r's and hispanic tones he is one smooth talker. The Viper managed to talk himself onto the jury of Tyrion's trials just because he could. Who couldn't see Oberyn charming his way into a few sales?
Prince Oberyn's sister, Elia, along with her two children were murdered in cold blood by The Mountain. Oberyn took the loss very badly and vowed that he would one day get revenge for his sister's death. He waited and hunted for 17 long years for the opportunity and when it came, it ended badly.
Known to be very spontaneous, Oberyn has been seen shunning his responsibilities in Dorne and doing what pleases him in the short term. He originally planned to become a Maester but left the schooling as he quickly became bored and restless. Prince Martell may not be able to organise an open house but he sure could sell it to you.
Though Oberyn is very nonchalant about most things, what he does not joke about is his family. He took the murder of his family to heart (as anyone would) and let this be the driving force in his future. The one thing that truly mattered to him was avenging the death of sister, niece and nephew.
We've already mentioned the charm of the great tanned man, but how well does it work in negotiations? Oberyn once fought with Willas Tyrell in a battle that would leave Willas unable to walk again, however, Willa and Oberyn remain fast friends and relations between the Reach and Dorne are better than ever,thanks to Oberyn's great negotiation skills and ability to charm Willas even after such an incident.
Margaery Tyrell
Margaery is the Queen Consort, initially through her marriage with King Joffrey, but then married his brother King Tommen following his death. Granddaughter of the ostentatious Lady Olenna Tyrell, she is said to be as beautiful as she is clever.
A real people person, Margaery has had no trouble talking things over with the poorest to the richest of men. This has been seen recently in her impromptu discussion with the High Sparrow where she seemed to be saying all the right things. Reasoning with the "almighty" High Sparrow was no easy feat, the general real estate public would be a breeze.
With the guidance of her grandmother, Margaery has always found her way back to the crown. In her young life she has married three different kings in the hope that she would be able to manipulate one to rule as she wanted. One of those kings was Joffrey Baratheon! Now that's what I call persistence.
As most of her life has been sat by the side of a King, Margaery has not had much opportunity to show her organisational skills other than the odd charity event.
From a young age Margaery set out to be Queen, not only did she manage to do this once, she did it three times! Queen Margaery is highly motivated by the title "Queen" but also by the power that comes with it. The Tyrell's do not trust the Lannisters and having Margaery marry into the family gives them leeway in all royal decisions.
As the crown has always been Margaery's end goal, she's had to convince a few people to get there. She was able to negotiate an alliance with Renly, even though she knew he was gay and made him aware of it, she persuaded Renly into taking her hand in marriage as she would be a suitable bride.

Episode 29 Show Notes/
On this weeks episode of The GuitCast we opened the show talking about The Hollywood Vampires, the new 'supergroup' consisting of Alice Cooper, Johnny Depp and a special guest list that's impressive. The project, based on Alice's old drinking club from the late 60's, has us eagerly awaiting the guitar debut of Johnny Depp and hope for the best. What does a Johnny Depp guitar solo sound like? Tapping or some blues bends? No one knows. In the meantime he's a video of him playing with Gene Simmons (KISS) and Gilby Clarke (ex-Guns N' Roses). It still doesn't tell us much but about his playing though.
Meth heads stealing tone woods are a problem in the American Northwest apparently. I had no idea. It's amazing how hard some people will work in order to not work. Apparently that beautiful maple flame or quilt top is becoming an endangered species since drug addicts are poaching maple trees and selling the illegal woods to furniture makers and guitar manufacturers. Is a nice veneer the answer? Maybe 3D printed guitars will be arriving just in time for the next wave of guitar innovation. I do know there's not a lot of bragging rights in a photo-flame and it's hard to replicate beauty like this.
A Fender Stratocaster fact I didn't know. Fender is pretty good at being cost efficient while Gibson....well, they're Gibson. While they provide quality, iconic instruments they come with an equally iconic price tag. The first Fender Strats sold for $249.50 in 1954. In 2015 currency that about $2190.00. Considering your average American Standard Stratocaster will cost you about $1000.00, that means the cost of producing a Strat has been just about cut in half by Fender. Gibson, who's Les Paul sold for roughly the same price is slightly above inflation. (Sorry, I should have warned you there would be math.)
A lot of things on the '30 most important guitar products of the last 30 years' that I'd never even heard of. Yes I know, I'm the technically challenged one of the team however I dare say there are some things on the list you've never heard of either. Take a look for yourselves and leave a comment if you think something was overlooked.
The Eric Clapton Signature Stratocaster stands out as a great advancement in the guitar industry as did the Ibanez RG while I thought the Parker Fly, while an outstanding instrument was getting too much credit for it's cultural impact. Corbs disagreed & made a strong case for the opposition.
Lots of pedals and gadgets made the list so feel free to click the Amazon links to your right & pick one you like.
Corbs reviewed the Mesa/Boogie Dual Rectifier Roadster Head 100-watt. Great amp if you can afford it, many can't.
Dave Tipple of Bobaflex called into the show to tells us about how he joined the group, their equipment being stolen recently & their new album 'Anything That Moves'. Dave's a nice guy and his playing on the new album is impressive. I'm sure we'll hear more from him in the future.
Thanks for reading our blog and listening to the show. Please make sure to click through our banners to the right if buying something on Amazon. It helps us pay the bills and doesn't cost you one penny extra....yeah, we're at that point in our growth. However it all makes the show better and helps us to focus more on what we're all here for in the first place, cool guitars!

Alabama's cup runneth over
SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. - Steve Flint looked at the entries for Saturday's $750,000 Alabama Stakes at Saratoga, smiled, and shook his head.
The list includes five-time Grade 1 winner You, Kentucky Oaks winner Farda Amiga, Coaching Club American Oaks winner Jilbab, and Mother Goose winner Nonsuch Bay. Then there is Bella Bellucci, who might have been the Kentucky Oaks favorite had she not scratched because of a low white-blood count. Even Smok'n Frolic is a multiple graded stakes winner, although not for the last 10 months.
"This is everything it's supposed to be," said Flint, who trains Delaware Oaks winner Allamerican Bertie. "This is supposed to be the equivalent of the Kentucky Derby for fillies and it is. If Take Charge Lady would have been in here it might have been billed as the best 3-year-old filly race in the last 10 years."
Ashland winner Take Charge Lady is the only 3-year-old filly of consequence not in the Grade 1 Alabama, which will be televised on ESPN (5-6 p.m. Eastern).
The biggest question most of the fillies must answer is whether they can negotiate 10 furlongs. The biggest question mark may surround potential favorite You, who is coming off a gutsy victory in the seven-furlong Grade 1 Test on July 27.
You, who is trying to become the 13th filly to win the Test and Alabama, has not won beyond 1 1/16 miles. But, trainer Bobby Frankel said he has no other race to run in and hopes that You's class and her affinity for Saratoga - she has won two graded stakes here - will carry her the distance.
"She's already done everything we've asked of her, if she can win [the Alabama] then we know we have a legitimate chance in the [Breeders' Cup] Distaff," Frankel said. "We know she's dead fit. She loves it here, why not take a chance?"
With Jerry Bailey in Chicago, Edgar Prado picks up the mount on You, who drew post 7.
You figures to vie for favoritism with Bella Bellucci, who climbs back into Grade 1 company after romping to victory in a nine-furlong classified allowance race at Belmont on July 19. She is a sister to Kurofune, who won te 1 5/16-mile Japan Cup Dirt. Jockey Mike Smith, who is 2 for 2 aboard Bella Bellucci, thinks his filly will relish the distance.
"I think she fits right in front of them at the wire," said Smith, who has won four Alabamas. "She hasn't got the seasoning as far as some of those other mares, but I think her talent will overcome that. I saw her last race when Jerry rode her and she looked awesome. She was on the bridle toting him around there and when she's right she kind of pulls you around there. The distance really suits her too."
Farda Amiga is another who appears well bred to get the 10 furlongs. A daughter of Broad Brush, Farda Amiga rallied from off the pace to win the Kentucky Oaks on May 3. She must overcome a 106-day layoff, a cross-country flight and the Saratoga heat.
Farda Amiga arrived from California on Wednesday, and according to trainer Paulo Lobo had a healthy appetite Wednesday night and galloped well over Saratoga's main track Thursday morning.
"We decided to come here because she has been doing very well in her training, and she's very healthy," Lobo said. "But I'm very worried about the weather and three months without a race. I think she's going to love the distance."
With Chris McCarron retired, Pat Day picks up the mount.
Nonsuch Bay is 4 for 7, and trainer Frank Alexander believes his filly has legitimate excuses in her three losses. Her off-the-pace victories in the Nassau County and Mother Goose Stakes give Alexander hope she can overcome her sprint pedigree.
"I don't think the distance will be a problem if she relaxes the way she did the other day," he said.
Jilbab overcame a stumbling start to win the 12-furlong Coaching Club. Jockey Mike Luzzi said the key to that victory was the filly's ability to relax.
Allamerican Bertie is coming off a front-running victory in the Grade 3 Delaware Oaks, but Flint doesn't believe his filly needs the lead. From the sounds of it, Flint just thinks she needs some racing luck.
"If she doesn't win, she's just not good enough," Flint said. "I couldn't ask for a horse to train better up to a race than she has to this one. She's as good as she could possibly be."
In this field, she's going to have to be.

Fireworks greet the new stadium and the 2012 team.
A stylish show raided as International ceremonies. An enormous pyro intervention covering the entire structure of the new Juventus building : unique in Italy.
While President Agnelli cuts the inauguration ribbon, the stadium reveals its real character in a gigantic choreography of pyrotechnics effects trailing the roof top representing the Italian colors.
A massive event produced to make a special tribute to the most acclaimed soccer club of the nation but also to celebrate the 150th anniversary of Italian Unity.
The fireworks also created a special greeting for the presentation of the 2012 team as whirlwinds of explosions triggered the field and surrounded the entire structure.

Theoretical Traditions and Community Development
Social theory seeks to explain change in society, how it develops, what factors facilitate and inhibit it and what results from it. Social theory can be viewed as a set of tools which are used in constructing our own explanations of what is happening in the society around us (owlnet.rice.edu, 2010).
Community development draws upon social theories to better understand the society around us. Community development is a structured intervention that gives communities greater control over the conditions that affect their lives. Community development works at the level of local groups and organizations rather than with individuals or families. Community development is a skilled process and part of its approach is the underlying belief that communities cannot be helped unless they themselves agree to this process. Community development has to look both ways: not only how the community is working at the grass roots, but also at how responsive key institutions are to the needs of local communities (maaori.com, 2010).
There are eight principles of community development, they are: •Powerless people/ Social justice- Community development acknowledges that ordinary or powerless people need increased access to both resources and power structures. Social justice works towards equity and fairness for all.
•Citizenship and human rights- Citizenship is about what it means to be a member of society, what rights we should have and what responsibilities we should have. Community development has a focus on human rights and is concerned with our collective obligation to ensure that human rights are met.
•Empowerment and self determination- Community development is crucially tied to the notion that we need to work with people in ways that empower; this requires us to be aware of the multitude of small actions that can impact on how people feel about themselves.
•Collective action- The wellbeing of each person depends on the welfare of society at large, while problems might at first appear to be individual ones the task of the community development worker is to identify common themes and structural underpinnings. Community development rests on the view that people can collectively bring about real change in society for the benefit of all.
•Diversity- Community development is based on the premise that the people have different viewpoints and opinions and it encourages a diversity of views, lifestyles and cultures. Some cultural practices or understandings can challenge the principles and practices of community development.
•Change and involvement in conflict- It has been argued that without active opposition we are responsible for the perpetuation of existing unequal social and political relations. However, if we need a preparedness to be involved in conflict we also need to be equipped with conflict resolution skills that allow us to work effectively with people.
•Liberation and participatory democracy- Liberation is a freedom from domination by powerful individuals, ideologies and structures, it is something that people and communities need to do for themselves, you cannot be liberated by somebody else. This furthers the idea that community development workers are facilitators not leaders or experts. Participatory democracy is a system of government that requires a far greater level of participation in all levels of decision making processes from the electorate.
•Challenging TINA (there is no alternative) and the power of example- Community development is an approach that is prepared to engage alternatives (culturally, politically, economically and socially) We can demonstrate these alternatives by the ways we organize at a local level (Kenny, 2006).

I can help a little with this one perhaps. You'll need to do a little bit of work though :) Some time ago a friend (James McArthur) of mine posted a random signature perl script that checked to make sure it wasn't running already, then piped to a signature file.

If the processes aren't killed when the connection dies, as many people have stated they would expect should happen, then you could make a little cron script that checked for users, and killed everything not belonging to a current logged on user.

New Rules on Medicaid Home Care Appeals – 2018
New York's Medicaid Program is experiencing growing pains as the demand for care at home has increased and the hourly wage of the home care worker is also rising. As a result, many recipients of Medicaid's home care benefit may have the amount or duration of personal care reduced.
The appeal process for challenging a denial, reduction or termination of services has changed. Beginning March 1, 2018, all home care recipients must seek an appeal with the home care agency before requesting a hearing before the New York State Fair Hearing panel. This pre-hearing appeal is an "internal appeal".
State and federal regulations require plans to mail a written notice of any decision to reduce or terminate services. This notice must be mailed at least ten (10) calendar days before the effective date of the decision. Plan members who want services to continue while they appeal a reduction or termination must request an internal appeal with "aid continuing." To receive "aid continuing," the plan member must submit a written appeal request within ten (10) calendar days of the date of the notice or by the effective date of the decision, whichever is later.
The deadline to request an Internal Appeal without aid continuing is sixty (60) calendar days from the date of the notice.
If one disagrees with the outcome of an Internal Appeal, one may request a State Fair Hearing after the plan issues a Final Adverse Determination. The deadline to request a Fair Hearing is one hundred and twenty (120) days from the date of the Final Adverse Determination. MLTC members may request a Fair Hearing sooner if the plan fails to provide a written notice of its initial decision, provides inadequate notices, does not decide the Internal Appeal within the required time frame, or fails to comply with other requirements.
Please note that the Internal Appeal process applies to decisions about what services MLTC and Managed Care Plans will provide. Medicaid beneficiaries who disagree with a decision about their eligibility for Medicaid may request a State Fair Hearing immediately. The deadline to request a Fair Hearing on a decision by the local Medicaid Agency is sixty (60) days from the date of the notice. If the Medicaid beneficiary wants "aid continuing," then the Fair Hearing must be requested before the effective date of the decision, or within ten (10) days of the date of the notice, whichever is later.
Action: If you wish to appeal a determination of your Medicaid care plan, contact our firm for help in resolving this or any other Medicaid issue.

Know the signs of skin cancer
You've likely been told to look out for moles that change colour or size, but many more common types of skin cancer don't look like moles at all, but red sores, wart-like bumps or scaly patches. "We tell people to look for anything new, or anything that doesn't heal after a while," explains Dr. Cheryl Rosen, a dermatologist at Toronto Western Hospital. Read on to learn about the various types of skin cancers, what they look like and how they're treated.

"Made to Move" Campaign Harnesses Power of Invisalign Brand Across Both Consumer and Doctor Audiences Worldwide for First Time
SAN JOSE, CA--(Marketwired - February 21, 2017) - Align Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ: ALGN) today announced a new global brand identity and advertising campaign for the Invisalign brand. The new campaign is the Company's first integrated campaign designed to assert the unique strengths of the Invisalign brand and product, and reinforce Align's commitment to establishing clear aligner therapy as the standard of care for orthodontics.
The Invisalign "Made to "Move" brand campaign focuses on the innate desire that all people have to move forward and to advance in life, and highlights the powerful role a smile can play in every aspect of life. The new brand identity and campaign is designed to create strong emotional connections with audiences around the world while also bringing Align's digital technology to life in a way that is meaningful to doctors and consumers.
"More than 4 million patients worldwide have chosen a 'digital' approach to moving teeth with Invisalign clear aligners instead of traditional braces," said Align Technology Chief Marketing Officer, Raphael Pascaud. "Our decision to make an investment in unifying brand communications globally reflects the consistent themes and benefits we see across all customers and potential patients worldwide. As a brand, we are about more than just moving teeth. We are about transforming lives and moving our entire industry forward."
The campaign kicks off this week in the United States and will follow in Europe and Asia in the second quarter using an omni-channel strategy providing doctors and consumers with information about Invisalign treatment and its benefits, when and where they want it. Our goal is to create a seamless brand experience wherever the Invisalign brand is encountered across the globe, and create a much broader, deeper awareness of the benefits of treatment with Invisalign clear aligners, the most advanced and recognized clear aligner system in the world.
AboutAlign Technology, Inc.Align Technology designs, manufactures, and markets the Invisalign® system, the most advanced clear aligner system in the world for adults and teenagers. The Company also offers the iTero® 3D digital scanning system and services for orthodontic and restorative dentistry. Align Technology was founded in March 1997 and received FDA clearance to market the Invisalign system in 1998.

There are quite a few observant readers who responded to the photo in our last issue. The photo of the tenants list can be found at Disney's Hollywood Studios, near the back of the Keystone Clothiers building that faces Echo Lake. We're thinking that Les Payne could be the dentist to choose in this building, as Ruth Canal and C. Howie Pullum don't sound as intriguing!

Those who know or work with anyone with Alzheimer's or other forms of dementia can attest to the difficult and painful times the memory loss brings. Certainly it must be beyond difficult to care for someone who you have loved your entire life and they do not even recognize you anymore.
Perhaps this is why this video has become so popular. In a moment of clarity, this Mom recognizes her daughter and says her name, Kelly. She then says she loves Kelly. The look on Kelly's face is priceless. We wish them both the best and give our continued hope a cure for all forms of dementia can be found soon.
The video can be found HERE.

Working and Learning Together Across Generations
If we look at who is active in many non-profit Boards/Committees, we tend to see groups that are pretty narrow in their age range. An organization that works productively across a variety of age demographics is hard to find. Often differing experiences, expectations, and perceptions can make this sort of work challenging for individuals who feel that their insights and skills are not honoured and/or appreciated. This workshop will offer the chance to think about how organizations can constructively work to increase intergenerational understanding and be better representations of our communities. Participants will gain insight into how to work more effectively with youth and older adults to enhance the services provided by those in the non-profit sector.
Cam Fraser is the Minister of Knox-Metropolitan United Church in downtown Regina – having worked for the past decade with a number of United Church Congregations, Provincial and Regional Committees and with United Church Camping he has worked with a number of Boards and Committees trying to work respectfully and constructively across broad age ranges.
Kerrie Strathy, an adult educator by profession, is Division Head at the University of Regina Lifelong Learning Centre (LLC) where she works with older adults, including Aboriginal Grandmothers caring for grandchildren and the Seniors' University Group. Kerrie spent almost seven years at the University of the South Pacific in Fiji working on environment awareness programs with traditional healers and others. She has served on many boards and is currently on the Regina Open Door Society Board. Kerrie's interests include strategic planning, program evaluation, board development, volunteerism, and retirement planning, as well as cross-cultural, gender, and environment awareness.
Marj Thiessen, a lifelong volunteer and volunteer coordinator, has been active in board and volunteer development for many years. She has worked with the YWCA, Canadian Red Cross and Canadian Blood Services in positions where she was responsible for recruiting, training and recognizing volunteers. She has served on many boards and committees and is a long time Dallas Valley Ranch Camp Board Member. Marj's current volunteer activities include working with young kids in school and with older adults at the Lifelong Learning Centre who are working to reduce social isolation and older adult abuse.

FIVB Men's World Championship has come to its conclusion with Poland beating Brazil, the champions of the past three events. So, with the male competition finished we now move on to the female championship, which is currently underway in Italy.
So, who is in with a shout of tasting success at the 17th FIVB Women's Volleyball Championship?
As defending champions, Russia will be fully expecting to do well in Italy. Victory will see the Russian side make it three championships on the spin.
The female side didn't have the best of showings at the London 2012 Olympics, finishing in a lowly 5th place. However, their dominant performance at the 2013 European Volleyball Championship shows that the Olympics was just a blip. The tournament, which was hosted in Germany and Switzerland, saw the Russian side return to their mercurial best. They dropped just three games in their six matches, as they claimed their 18th European title. Their showing in the European Championship has rightly seen them instilled by Betfair as one of the favourites for the tournament.
It is a team packed with talent. In captain Maria Borodakova they have one of the best middle-blockers in the female game. Standing at an imposing 1.90m, Borodakova is a phenomenon and is a great of the game. Her importance really cannot be stressed enough.
Youth has been the selection policy for the Russian side, which can be a risky strategy but that shouldn't be a problem according to Nataliya Obmochaeva. She believes that the hunger of the young girls in the side should be a "great advantage".
So far Obmochaeva's assessment is proving to be correct as Russia sit atop of their group, with six points from two games. The performance against Thailand, the 12th seed, is particularly pleasing. They were made to toil out there, having to squeeze points from every game before running out 3-0 winners.
The big test in Pool C is the United States, who are ranked higher than Russia and have also made a winning start. Top spot is imperative for both sides; nobody wants to be playing Brazil or Japan in the next round.
Naturally, you cannot talk about Russia and not mention the United States. What was once a hostile rivalry between the two is now played out via the medium of sports rather than proxy wars. Still, when these two behemoths meet in sporting encounters they usually end in explosives.
The States have never won a World Championship; a silver medal in 2002 and 1967 are the greatest results to date, but they will fancy their chances this year after finishing second to Brazil in the 2012 Olympics.
As a team they have a lot of their talent playing in Europe, which is a huge advantage. The European league is a hotbed of Volleyball talent so by having your players based there they should be playing a much higher standard than they could achieve by staying Stateside.
Key players include Dinamo Kazan's Jordan Larson-Burbach, Kelly Murphy, Destinee Hooker and Megan Hodge-Easy.
As previously mentioned, the States have started well, beating Mexico 3-1 and Kazakhstan 3-0 in their opening two fixtures.
In recent years it seems that the USA have been perennial runners-up, but they have a great chance of changing that this year. The first two games have shown that they are playing as a cohesive unit and they should be considered favourites for that must-win Russia clash. Can they beat Brazil a little further down the line? Well, that's the million-dollar question, but, on their day, America are as good as anyone.
The South American country have been one of Volleyball's heavyweights in recent years, winning both the 2008 and 2012 Olympics, as well as tasting success in the previous two World Grand Prixs and being named World Grand Champions in 2013. So, it is extremely surprising that the most ruthless side in volleyball right now are yet to win a World Championship. It seems a certainty that they will be rectifying that this year.
Talent-wise, their side is the best bar none. In captain Fabiana Claudino you have one of the game's best spikers of the ball, as well as being one of the most feared middle blocks on the court. Complementing Claudino is Dani Lins, who was named the best setter at the 2014 World Grand Prix, and Adenizia da Silva, who is widely regarded as one of the best servers in the female game. Now, take a second to consider that. Brazil have three of the best players in the world, and arguably the three best players in their respective positions. They really are the team to beat.
With Russia opting for a more youthful side you can't look any further than Brazil. Russia were the side that beat them in the previous two World Championships, but the players who proved too strong for Brazil back then are no longer involved in the national setup.
Brazil win games, it is what they do, and their start to the 2014 Championships has been no different. After an opening 3-0 win against Bulgaria, the Brazilian side completely dismantled a hapless Cameroon team 3-0, restricting them to just 47 points. Brazil's second line was fantastic that game with some inventive dumps, aggressive spikes and unreturnable serves, while Natalia Pereira kept herself in the top-scorer hunt with an 18-point haul.
Brazil have laid down a marker in these first two games. They're here to win and from what we have witnessed thus far, it seems all but a certainty – if only Volleyball was that black and white.
Home advantage is a real boost for the Italian prospects. People who try and downplay home advantage border on lunacy. There is something special and captivating about playing in front of your home fans, and as a result your game can only really get better, while the hostile atmosphere can really demoralize the opposition. Just look at Poland, who as aforementioned managed to topple the mighty Brazil recently, while Italy have also used it to good effect. Two games in, and they sit top of Pool A after crushing both Tunisia and Croatia 3-0.
They have won this competition before, back in 2002, and have never had a better chance of winning it again than now. Players like Monica De Gennaro, Paola Croce and Giulia Rondon are all going to have to rise to the occasion. So far they have lived up to their billing as star players, but with all respect they were playing Volleyball minnows. The challenge in their group will be Germany and the Dominican Republic, before facing the top, top, teams in the latter phases.
It is no secret that Italy do not have the best team on the court, but they do have the fans. Home support is the best player you could wish for.
With two games gone, the big teams are all 100%. Granted they have played minnows but nonetheless they are unbeaten. The States have looked good and they will probably be the main threat to spoiling the Brazilian party.

Sheet masks have suddenly been showing up on the shelves of our local cosmetic stores. They've been around for a long time. I've been using sheet mask for the past year versus the original face mask because I believe that it is more convenient and less time consuming than applying a mask and washing it off. Most of the mask that I stock up on is Korean branded or I get from an Asian beauty store.
What makes a sheet mask good is that the serum that is on the sheet itself will absorb on the skin. When you first apply the mask to your face, it will feel ticklish and wet because the serum is on the sheet itself. You leave it on your face for about 10-15 minutes and then slowly remove the mask and pat the excess serum unto your face. It is so simple. I prefer this over a mud pack not unless I really have 30 minutes to wait until it hardens.
I only use two brands and from those two brands I pick up the type that my skin needs. These three brands have a wide selection of sheet mask that you can use on daily but in reference to the type that your skin needs. For example, one day my skin will have a blemish and I can either use an aloe vera or green tea sheet mask to minimize the redness.
Here are the two brands that I use with the types of sheet masks.
This brand carries a variety of mask that suits your skin such as:
- AC-Dressing: for when you have troubled skin and just need it to be soothed and have excess oil.
- Aquaringer: for when your skin is dry, this will moisturize and hydrate it.
- Teatree: my favorite! This type reduces the oil on my skin and the redness.
- Aloe Soothing: for when you have redness on your face. This works great after a facial.
This brand has a lot of masks to choose from. I love using this as a an everyday mask because it isn't costly and sometimes my skin just needs a mini facial.
- Shea Butter: a good alternative to moisturize your face
- Acai Berry: gives your face a slight firmness
- Lemon: This mask contains vitamin C which brightens your face
- Pomegranate: gives a dewy and glossy look
- Avocado: for when your skin is extremely dry and rough

The morning after a party is a nightmare. You had a great time with all your friends and partied into the wee hours of the morning. Yet you wake up to the most horrifying headache and all thoughts of a wonderful, night out go flying through the window. This scene may have played out so many times that the nightmare of a hangover might just be successful in stopping you from really having a great time with your friends.
The best method of getting over a hangover is to drink plenty of water. Water hydrates and flushes out the toxins in our body. Citric juices, particularly oranges are a great cure for hangovers and have many swearing by its benefits. So how about some hangover remedies to tide you over the next time you pull an all-nighter with your buddies? Opt for low intensity exercises to help you cope with your hangover.
1. Light Cardio Exercises:
Light Cardio exercises will help release Endorphins, the feel-good hormones. The sweat you work up will of course help flush out the toxins.
2. Restorative Yoga Class:
Yoga with its deep breathings and asanas will provide a low intensity workout. The breathing will help oxidation and flush out toxins while the low intensity will ensure that you do not feel overly stressed and tired.
3. A Walk in the Fresh Air:
A slow walk or stroll in the fresh air will literally blow away the cobwebs from the previous night to leave you refreshed and ready. Try walking in a park or on the beach for an added zing.
4. A Slow Early Morning Jog:
Do not try to work up a lot of sweat. The emphasis remains on gently exercises that will recharge you, without overexertion. A slow jog in the morning is a great way to detoxify from a hangover.
5. Light Aerobics:
Light aerobics will help start your day minus the painful headaches of a hangover. Be sure to drink plenty of water to help in the detoxification process.
6. Gentle Stretching:
Stretching helps loosen muscles that may be feeling cramped by the ingestion of toxic alcoholic products the previous night. Gentle stretches will help overcome the side effects of a hangover.
7. Dance:
Dance has always been known to lift the mood. Cheer yourself in the morning with your favorite dance routine. Take care that you do not overexert yourself and end up feeling worse.
8. Swimming:
Swimming helps work and loosen muscles that feel cramped during a handover. The gentle water splashing around you is a great rejuvenator and helps keep your hangover at bay.
Alcohol is a depressant that slows down the brain. Exercise, on the other hand, acts as a stimulant and helps speed up brain activity, removing lethargy and helping you recover from a hangover.While certain exercises are helpful in curing hangover, exercise by itself is not a highly effective cure. Hydrating yourself alongside is essential when you work up a sweat. The best cure for a hangover, however, is to stay away from alcohol completely!

There aren't many movie directors out there that have hit the proverbial nail on the head when it comes to pleasing fans and critics alike, while regularly producing consistent quality cinema. Not even the continually hyped Quentin Tarantino has shown such filmmaking mastery, or remained humble throughout, like Britain's own Danny Boyle.
Boyle, who began his directorial career in 1987, had worked a lot in television up until 1994, where he caught the attention of nations with this brilliant little movie. It didn't do amazingly well at the time when it came to making profits at the box office, but it was nowhere near a failure. In fact, it still kicks the arse off most modern attempts...
|It's all smiles and laughter until someone pisses in the Lambrini.
That's it, in a nutshell, but this is no simple little movie, despite it's estimated budget of around £3 million. Shallow Grave is a perfectly crafted character study, psychological thriller and, despite its seeming lack in adventure, you'd be very surprised as to how much can go on in and around a four-bedroom apartment. You'd be even more surprised to learn that this movie took 30 days to film. That's right, Hollywood, you tired, bloated old hag.
Heading the cast are babyfaces Ewan McGregor as journalist Alex, Christopher Eccleston as accountant David, and Kerry Fox as Juliette (I can't remember what she does and IMDb is playin' possum), and despite them being so young at the time, they were excellent choices in actors at the time. In fact, it was almost as if Boyle knew they'd be huge names one day. But then you remember that they have Boyle to thank. But what really catches you about this unsuspected psycho-thriller is the perfect character dynamic. It's an ensemble cast, and thanks to the intelligent writing of Trainspotting and The Beach scribe, every single drop of talent is put to best use through the laughs and the absurd decadence, and then through the grudges and alliances that are born as the pressure builds and the honeymoon period dies off.
It comes down to the already sly natures of our flatmates. McGregor, as Alex, is a total dick. He's the friend you accept is a total dick, because he's a totally funny dick at the best of times. But that really doesn't help when the situation leads to the straight-laced one of the group (repressed accountant David) ends up being the one that has to dismember the dead drug dealer's body, as Alex and Juliette look on and think of how they're going to spend their portion of the suitcase. With Juliette being so often split down the middle to appease everybody, that leads David to become ever more alienated from the others, until he goes loopy and decides to live in the loft with the money; drilling holes in the ceiling so he can keep tabs on everybody.
|"Ha! Alienated. It's not like I'm Dr Who, or anything..."
With David going full-on Norman Bates, the rattled Alex and Juliette hatch a plan to grab the money and get the fuck outta dodge, but how do you do that when your every move is being watched? The movie twists and turns its way to its finale like a modern day Hitchcock thriller and like hell am I going to spoil that for you!
The New York Times tried to sell this to the Pulp Fiction fans of the day. I don't know why, as there's no resemblance, apart from the fact that both of them are two great revolutionary films of their time. It probably didn't do Boyle many favours, though, as it would be another half a decade before the US started to pay attention. Regardless, this didn't just see the beginnings of many stars in the making, it gave us the means to witness the birth of more realistic, original eye-opening filmmaking that engages the audience. That, coupled with colourful and contrasting cinematography that reminds me of Johnnie To thrillers, just better written and planned out.
Thanks again for reading, feel free to comment on your favourite Shallow Grave and Danny Boyle moments, and be sure to join us again next month as we head into June of each awesome decade in geek movie history!
