Good afternoon Folks ~ Here is is another Monday, the last Monday of February. Time is zipping right along.
The give-away contest for the book David Austin's 'The English Rose' has ended and the winner is # 1, who is Rebecca, of Thrifty Style at 68. Congrats to you Rebecca.
Be watching for two more gardening books to be reviewed and given away in the next couple of weeks.
I've taken quite a few pictures of roses that have been in bloom the past couple of weeks. Their scents, along with the scents of jasmines and other flower scents have been filling the air around Plum Cottage. My heart if filled with thanksgiving and joy for God's goodness and His beautiful creation.
I really love roses. Many, many years ago, I told my dear husband that I'd rather have living flowers to grow and enjoy in my gardens than to receive dying bouquets. He went along with my idea and would occasionally pick small bouquets from our own flowers. Sweet, sweet, sweet memories.
Ok, here we go for some rose eye-candy.
'Don Juan' compliments of friends Nanci & John
'International Herald Tribune' from Rose Petals Nursery
'Knock-out' local nursery
Not sure what these next blooms are. I've had the bush a long, long time and think it might be 'Bon Silene'.
This one might be 'Old Blush'. Have had this for many years also.
'Carnation' from Rose Petals Nursery.
'Mm. Laurette Messimy'. Bought this many, many years ago.
'Cemetery Rose' traded with Connie of Hartwood Roses for one of my rose needleworked pieces.
'Rose de Rescht' from friends Deb & Charly.
'Love' compliments of friends Nanci & John.
'Fragrant Cloud' compliments of friends Nanci & John
'Granada' ~ I bought this rose soon after losing my dear husband. Bought it at Sam's Club, spring 2013. Granada, Spain was one of our favorite places and we visited it 2-3 times while we lived in Spain when DH served his tour of duty for the US Navy. The roses in the Generalife gardens had 'huge' rose blooms and I'm happy to say this rose produced huge blooms for me this year.
The bud belies the size the flower will become.
Look at the size of this next to my hand. The colors are stunningly beautiful.
'Winecup' this color grabs my heart, from Rose Petals Nursery.
S-i-g-h, ~ I hope you enjoyed seeing these beauties. Some are large, some are small, all are wonderful. Some are old garden varietes while others are more modern.
Thank you for visiting and for all of your kind comments in previous posts. I appreciate them and your time in writing them.
Have a great week ~ FlowerLady ~ who will be spending more time in my gardens trying to bring some semblance of order out of this sub-tropical jungle. I'll blog whenever.

637. Gentlemen, thank you very much for being
with us this afternoon. Before we get under way putting questions
based on the paper you have very kindly put in to us, could I
invite you to identify yourselves for the record and then we will
see if there any opening comments you would like to make to the
(Mr Agar) My name is Stephen Agar. I am currently
Director of Strategy and Regulatory Affairs for Royal Mail. It
is my primary duty to interface with Postwatch and Postcomm and
(Mr Duncan) My name is John Duncan. I am Head of Regulatory
Strategy for Royal Mail.
638. Is there anything you would like to say
in opening to the Committee or are you happy for us to put questions?
(Mr Agar) Very briefly. We have made our written submission.
The two issues for us that are relevant to what the Committee
is looking at are larger accountability of regulation, in relation
to Postcomm in particular, and also perhaps something on the role
of having dual regulation.
639. Clearly our concern is accountability,
in other words very much the core of our inquiry. Given that,
could I look at some of the points you make which are directly
related to accountability? Clearly, accountability takes place
at different levels. One is simply transparency, making material
available, and another is in terms of answerability to Parliament,
which was one of the points you made, and another, in fact the
highest form, is external coercion where another body could override
a decision, and I am thinking particularly here of course in terms
of the courts, and again you have made recommendations in terms
of the process. If I could pick up on answerability, because you
do question "whether the current arrangements of Select Committee
hearings and National Audit Office reports are sufficiently formal
and regular to provide for the effective scrutiny of Regulations
by Parliament", could you expand on why the present arrangements
are inadequate and, if they are inadequate, what would be your
(Mr Agar) If I could briefly refer to Postcomm's written
submission to you in terms of accountability and appearance before
Select Committees, they mention three occasions when they have
been to a Select Committee in the past year, which I suppose means
that the accountability is probably less than three hours of discussion.
One point I would really like to make is that two of those appearances
on the basis of their submission talk about a Select Committee
hearing on Postcomm's market opening proposals etc, but you should
be aware that in fact the Trade and Industry Committee hearings
are actually not into Postcomm; they are into Royal Mail, so their
hearings are about the accountability of our business and how
our business is being run, not into the accountability of Postcomm
itself. With regard to the two key documents that Postcomm do
produce, which are their annual report and their annual work plan,
there is not any regular Select Committee scrutiny of those documents
and they are not held accountable for what is in them.

Adventure of Ascent: Field Notes from a Lifelong Journey by Luci Shaw. Far and away, this was my favourite book of the past few months. Luci Shaw is underappreciated in popular Christian writing circles, I know, but this poet writes some of my favourite prose and memoir. I like to think I can write a sentence now and then but then I read Luci Shaw, who effortlessly drops phrases like "the wide straps of dark clouds" or "silky shawl of air" or "rags of snow" and I just want to bow down. This book chronicles a year of her life in her eighties as she contemplates dying, growing older, and her own faith in those days. Rich material for a rich mind. P.S. She was Madeleine L'Engle's best friend (for my fellow devoteees).
Longbourn by Jo Baker – a mash-up of Upstairs, Downstairs sensibility using Pride & Prejudice? Take my money, madam! Unfortunately, it wasn't as good as I had hoped. I wouldn't re-read and regret buying it instead of just grabbing it at the library.
A Prayer Journal by Flannery O'Connor – I go through swings with Flannery O'Connor's work – I won't read her for years and then all of a sudden, I can't stop for a month. That's how things are right now. This prayer journal is so intimate, so raw. Even seeing her ambitions laid out, right alongside her prayers and her struggles, made me feel less alone. A beautiful book.
Prodigal Christianity: 10 Signposts into the Missional Frontier by David E. Fitch and Geoff Holsclaw. If you've grown a bit tired of the rhetoric and unending speculation, if you're ready to actually begin to live into that new way forward for the community of God, this is a good place to start. It's practical and accessible. The ten critical signposts in a missional way of life are: post-Christendom, missio Dei, incarnation, witness, scripture, gospel, church, sexuality, justice, pluralism.
When Women Were Birds: Fifty-four Variations on Voice by Terry Tempest Williams. I know this is an unpopular opinion for me to confess, but I didn't like this book. I found it ponderous and even inauthentic.
The Gravedigger File: Papers on the Subversion of the Modern Church by Os Guinness. This book is my first completion in our You've Got To Read This! challenge. I'll have a separate post about that soon-ish but I'll just say that I was underwhelmed and right out of the gate, I disagreed with the premise so that makes it hard to enjoy the whole book. But still – intelligent and worth reading, Brian, I'll agree.
The House Girl by Tara Conklin. A good novel for the airplane which is exactly where I read it. Made the day go quickly, I couldn't put it down, and it was an interesting story.
and reading
The Complete Stories by Flannery O'Connor. I know everyone knows – and bows down before – A Good Man is Hard to Find. Rightfully so. But I still have a soft spot for The Geranium. This woman's genius knows no bounds and coming back to her work again and again only enriches it. Earthy, real, substantial, satisfying.
The Signature of All Things by Elizabeth Gilbert.
The Way of the (Modern) World: Or, Why It's Tempting to Live As If God Doesn't Exist by Craig M. Gay. (The next book in our challenge for me. Pray for me.)
The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams.
Eat with Joy: Redeeming God's Gift of Food by Rachel Marie Stone.
Pilgrimage of a Soul: Contemplative Spirituality for the Active Life by Phileena Heuertz
New Collected Poems by Wendell Berry
television worth watching
I just finished Series 3 of Sherlock. It wasn't as good as Series 2 – could anything ever compare to Irene Adler and Moriarity? – but it was still Sherlock, still brilliant, still chilling, still funny, still wonderful. And then the twist in the series finale was just WHOA. Can't wait to see Series 4. Mary Watson is just my favourite character on television in a while.
Anxiously awaiting Series 3 of Call the Midwife! It debuts on PBS on March 30, so set your VCR. (Wait a minute – what century is this. VCR. Honestly.)
For the first time in our lives, we're watching The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon. We have been over late-night television for years now (even burning out on The Daily Show and Colbert Report, I'm afraid) but Jimmy Fallon's new gig as host of this programme has us actually watching it again. It's hilarious, smart, and earnest all at the same.
I've watched a fair few documentaries about food over the past months. I've been making a few changes in that area of my life lately due to some health stuff and so it's been helpful.
Is anyone else missing the Olympics?
movies worth seeing
We went to see The Lego Movie on evening last week. It was funny and smart. Just a wonderful movie for the whole family. We'll be watching it again. Joe and Anne (who are five and seven) were captivated. ("Everything is awesome! everything is cool!")
Otherwise….yeah. I don't really watch movies much these days, I'm afraid.
music worth hearing
Relevant is streaming John Mark McMillan's new album Borderland here.
How They Blog podcast. A quick 20 minute podcast with interviews and tips for bloggers.
David's Tea – my current favourites are Cream of Earl Grey and Jessie's Tea (a rooibos with coconut and lavender)
My elliptical machine and my juicer – I know. It's like I don't know who I am anymore. Drinking kale and working out. Honestly.
Benjamin Hole on Instagram. Photos of a working English farm just make me so happy.
Village Books in Fairhaven, Washington. I want to live there.
So, friends, what about you?
What's on your nightstand? What television show or movie or music has captured your imagination?

Plasmonic Nanobubbles for Intracellular Targeting and Gene Therapy
E. Lukianova-Hleb, J. Wen, L. Meteletsa, M. Brenner, J. Chang, D.O. Lapotko
Rice University, US
Keywords: plasmonic nanobubble, cell, gene transfection, controlled release, laser
Abstract:Intracellular molecular targeting (IMT) and gene transfection of eukaryotic cells is widely used for research and for developing gene cell therapy. However, the existing IMT methods lack selectivity, efficacy and safety when heterogeneous cell systems must be treated. We report a new IMT method that employs plasmonic nanobubbles (PNBs) for delivery and guidance. A PNB is a novel, tunable cellular agent with a dual mechanical and optical action due to the formation of the vapor nanobubble around a transiently heated gold nanoparticle upon its exposure to a laser pulse. PNBs enabled the mechanical injection of the extracellular cDNA plasmid into the cytoplasm of individual target living cells, cultured leukemia cells and human CD34+CD117+ stem cells and expression of a green fluorescent protein (GFP) in those cells. PNB generation and lifetime correlated with the expression of green fluorescent protein in PNB-treated cells. Optical scattering by PNBs additionally provided the detection of the target cells and the guidance of cDNA injection at single cell level. In both cell models PNBs demonstrated a gene transfection effect in a single pulse treatment with high selectivity, efficacy and safety. Thus, PNBs provided targeted gene delivery at the single cell level in a single pulse procedure that can be used for safe and effective gene therapy.

Lakers Girl Blog - Blake
Hey Lakers fans!
I'm Blake and what a year it has been for me! It has been my good fortune this year to represent the Lakers organization as a first year member of the 2013-2014 Laker Girls squad, and it sure has been and honor to do so! When I made the squad, I knew it was a chance of a lifetime.
Learn More About Rachael
One of my favorite parts of this job is taking part in various charitable events. While I thought this was my chance to give back to the community, what I didn't realize was how much the community gave back to me. I feel truly blessed. Each and every month as a Los Angeles Laker Girl has been fun and exciting……this month, however, has been particularly busy and action packed. One of my favorite charities took place during this month. It was our "Lakers Fit For Life Health Fair". Several of us Laker Girls teamed up with Lakers players - Robert Sacre, Jodi Meeks, Jordan Farmar and Kendall Marshall. Oh and Mark Madsen too! (one of our Lakers coaches) We all teamed up and had the chance to interact with students from different schools. The kids participated and rotated through, four different game/exercise stations. They worked really hard and surely received good a work-out that day! We were trying to educate them about the importance of good nutrition and staying active. All and all, we just explained that they should concentrate now in choosing to live a healthy and active lifestyle. I must admit, It's always fun to see how excited the kids get, when they are given the chance to meet our Lakers players. We all tried to make it a fun-filled day, and what the kids assumed was just playing games, was really in reality - a lesson on how exercise doesn't have to be a chore, but that you can make it fun! It was a great time!
Sunday, April 13th marked the Lakers last home game of the season, which in my opinion came way too fast! To give the night a twist it was our "Fan Appreciation Night" where Lakers fans were given the chance to purchase Lakers memorabilia/items at fifty percent off in the TEAM LA store. As Laker Girls, we were given the opportunity to walk around on the main concourse in uniform, taking pictures, signing autographs and interacting with the NBA's best fans! It never ceases to amaze me, the excitement and love the fans bestow on the Lakers Organization. To show our appreciation for these fans the night was full of many give-away items. One of my favorite parts of the game was throwing out free T-shirts to the Lakers fans at the game. While I will always remember this last home game of the season as one of my favorites, it also came with the unhappy realization that it would be my last time to dance with this talented, beautiful group of ladies this season on the Lakers home court. I am proud to call all my teammates my friends.
Thank you for taking the time to read my entry... keep cheering on our Los Angeles Lakers!!!

Preventive surgery for cancer on rise
Women at risk choose mastectomy
Nearly five times as many Pennsylvania women in 2011 received preventive surgery before a diagnoses of breast cancer compared to a decade earlier, new data show.
Compared to 2002, the increase in women receiving prophylactic or preventive procedures went from 94 women to 455, the Pennsylvania Health Care Cost Containment Council said in a report on the surgical treatment of breast cancer.
Women received the preventive procedures, most often mastectomies, because of a genetic predictor, family history or personal history with the disease.
"While there have been anecdotal reports in recent years of an increase in prophylactic mastectomies, this report contains new empirical evidence that women are increasingly turning to preventive procedures," said PHC4 executive director Joe Martin.
Statewide, more than 13,000 women were diagnosed with breast cancer in 2011, and 2,090 died from the disease. PHC4 records show 10,977 women had surgical treatment for breast cancer in 2011, similar to the 11,074 in 2002.
Kristine Kelley, M.D., a surgeon at Delta Medix Breast Care Center in Scranton, said the report's trend of more women receiving preventive surgery related to breast cancer mirrors what she has seen with her patients, who choose to have a mastectomy.
"A lot of women in their early years don't want to have to deal with it again if they don't have to," Dr. Kelley said.
Statewide, 58 percent of women who had breast cancer surgery in 2011 were 60 years or older, while 3 percent were younger than 40. PHC4 research shows breast cancer is second to skin cancer as most common type of cancer in the state.
However, Dr. Kelley noted that while removal of both breasts decreases chances of getting breast cancer by 90 percent, it can develop in a person with no breasts.
Also in the report, the number of women increased who had one or more mastectomies, as did the number of women having one or more lumpectomies. However, the number of women having both types of surgeries in the same year decreased by 60 percent.
To help detect earliest stages of breast cancer, the American Society of Breast Surgeons recommends women age 40 and older have an annual mammography screening.
Not limited to women, in 2011, 84 men in the state had surgical treatment for breast cancer, resulting in 95 hospitalizations.
The average Medicare payment for an inpatient mastectomy in 2010 was $5,109.
PHC4 released the breast cancer surgery report in conjunction with October as National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. An independent state agency, PHC4 collects, analyzes and reports information used to improve the quality of care and limit the cost of health care in Pennsylvania.

From Cincinnati, Ohio, USA:
My six year old daughter was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes about six months ago. Is there some kind of formula I can use that tells me if she is still in the honeymoon phase?
Frequently, in the honeymoon phase, the amount of insulin a child needs is less than it will be as the months and years go by. There really is no clear distinction between the honeymoon phase and subsequent times, and indeed, there is no specific formula that is used to determine if the honeymoon phase has passed. The honeymoon phase has passed when blood sugars become more labile and the amount of insulin needs to be increased significantly to achieve the same blood sugar results as in the first weeks and months after diagnosis of type 1 diabetes.

The world of dating is a weird, weird world. Thats why so many horror stories come from it. Less horror stories come from actual horror novels than the world of real-world dating.
That fact is disturbing to anyone who puts a feeler out to the real world of men meeting women, women meeting men, and same genders meeting other same-gendered people or any other variation we mightve missed.
Its all basically frightening and can scar you for life if you let it. Youve probably met somebody thats been incredibly burned by the dating scene. Its not a pretty sight.
So, lets try to sift through the chaff and find the strategies and tips thatll work universally for people who are trying to either meet that special someone, or juggle a few special somebodies.
These are dating tips for those out there carrying the Y-Chromosome, the men who want to get out there and get at them.
Here are some things to keep in mind when youre going around town, hitting the scene…
1. Women want to date good men.
They say 10% of the men that are out there get 90% of the women. Why? Because theyre the alpha males of the group. They have the pick of the women they want, while the rest of us shuffle our feet around and play the nice guy.
They dont have to. They already have the interest, and just have to parlay it into co-ordinating the proper logistics and pushing physical escalation forward. Sucks, doesnt it?
Not really, because once you learn what it is women are after, you can actively make yourself into the type of person that can add value to them instead of taking it away. You can stop being that guy who takes things away from people, and start being the guy who adds. Its entirely fixable.
2. Women want to date men who are leaders.
This is more subtle, but if someone is projecting influence on the group, thats the person everyones going to be attracted to.
The person who can influence everyones actions and gets the most attention, the person that people defer to is generally the leader. You can be a leader. Stop being the quietest, most timid version of yourself, and live up to the promise of the image that you have in your head.
Instead of thinking about what the proper thing to do in a given situation is, think about what the best version of yourself would do, and simply follow suit.
3. Dont be afraid of getting sexual.
One of the biggest problems that you see again and again with guys that are going out is that they get the girls interested in them, then dont know what to do once the energy in a conversation shifts in a different direction.
Girls want to be sexual, otherwise, theyd have no use for us men. Theyd just sit at home, doing whatever it is that brings them joy, but theres something in them, just like us, that makes them want to ravage the men they find attractive.
You just have to be that attractive man. So, when the best version of yourself is faced with a girl who is hanging around you, trying to be alone with you, etc. etc, what is he going to do?
Hes going to step up his game and bring it to the next level is what hes going to do. Isolate her, and start up an escalation ladder. Either one that youve heard about before, or one that works for you.
4. Dont be afraid of meeting a lot of people.
Theres a great big world out there, with a lot of people doing a lot of different things. Guess what? You have an opportunity to sift through them and find the right person that works for you. Thats not a curse, its a blessing.
Once you get out into the great big world of dating, you have to realize that having taste and choice will serve you rather than limit you. If you have taste and a powerful frame, be prepared, its going to be much easier than you originally thought it would be.
Girls like that in people, it doesnt matter what you look like. Looks are just what you think they are. Girls really dont care.
They care more about what you bring to the table status-wise. But thats an entirely different article to be looking at, other than just some simplistic dating tips for men.
Get out there and enjoy yourself. Thats what life is all about, isnt it?

St. John's Gets Best of Augsburg
Dec. 3, 2008
Courtesy of Augsburg Athletics
MINNEAPOLIS -- Claiming wins in six of 10 bouts, the St. John's University wrestling team snapped a 22-match losing streak to Augsburg College with an 18-13 dual-meet victory on Wednesday night at Augsburg's Si Melby Hall.
The Johnnies (5-0 overall), ranked No. 7 in the latest National Wrestling Coaches Association Division III national rankings, won for the first time over the No. 2-ranked Auggies (0-1 overall) since the 1985-86 season. Augsburg is 28-2 in dual meets against St. John's since 1979. The St. John's victory also broke two other Augsburg winning streaks -- a streak of 70 straight victories over Minnesota Division II or III opponents since 1996, and a streak of 92 straight victories over Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference foes stretching to the 1986-87 season.
Augsburg, winners of 10 of the last 18 Division III national titles, is now 228-20 against Divisions II and III teams since the 1989-90 season, losing just 15 matches to non-Division I opponents since the 1995-96 season. Against strictly Division III opponents, Augsburg is 235-23 since the 1979-80 season and 159-13 since the 1989-90 season.
The Johnnies built an 18-6 lead after eight bouts and withstood Augsburg wins in the final two bouts to secure the dual victory.
Meanwhile, Augsburg gained a major-decision, 14-5 victory from 197-pounder Jared Massey (JR, Circle Pines, Minn./Centennial HS) over the Johnnies' Tony Willaert (SO, North Mankato, Minn./Lake Crystal-Wellcome Memorial HS), ranked No. 3 nationally in the weight class. Massey, now 5-0 on the season, claimed six takedowns and built 1:46 of riding time in the win.
Two of Augsburg's three nationally-ranked wrestlers in action on Wednesday claimed victories, as top-ranked Travis Lang (SR, Bismarck, N.D.) built a 5-0 first-period lead and held off a rally by the Johnnies' Mogi Baatar (JR, Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia/St. Benedict's Prep HS) in a 9-8 victory. No. 5-ranked Andy Witzel (JR, Fulda, Minn.) scored a 6-3 victory at heavyweight over the Johnnies' Cody Socher (FY, Delano, Minn.).
The Johnnies claimed three wins on riding-time bonus points -- a 4-3 win by Chad Henle (FY, Spicer, Minn./New London-Spicer HS) over Augsburg's Josh Roberts (FY, Grand Forks, N.D./Central HS) at 125; a 3-2 win by Matt Baarson (SO, Brooklyn Park, Minn./Champlin Park HS) over Augsburg's No. 3-ranked Jason Adams (JR, Coon Rapids, Minn.) at 157; and a 4-3 win by Matt Schrupp (SR, Watertown, Minn./Watertown-Mayer HS) over Augsburg's Brandon Klukow (SR, Albert Lea, Minn.) at 165.
Augsburg's Lucas Murray (SO, Anoka, Minn.) used a takedown and three-point near-fall midway through the third period to claim an 11-8 win over No. 3-ranked Minga Batsukh (SO, Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia/St. Benedict's Prep HS) at 141.
Dustin Baxter (SO, Fairbanks, Alaska/West Valley HS) of St. John's used a takedown with 14 seconds left to score a 12-10 win over Augsburg's Garrett Long (JR, Cedar, Minn./St. Francis HS) at 184. John Vaith (SO, Hastings, Minn.) used a reversal and three-point near-fall in the third period to rally for an 8-6 win over Augsburg's Tony Valek (FY, Belle Plaine, Minn./Scott West) at 149, and Grant Eustice (SR, Shoreview, Minn./Mounds View HS) scored a 6-3 win over Augsburg's Brandon Bahr (FY, Bemidji, Minn.) at 174.
Augsburg's White Team (junior varsity) won six of nine bouts to score a 25-6 win over the St. John's junior varsity in the preliminary match on Wednesday.
Augsburg returns to action after the Thanksgiving break on Saturday, Dec. 6 at 9 a.m., competing at the Minnesota State Moorhead Dragon Open. St. John's competes at the Wisconsin-La Crosse Duals on Dec. 6.

09 September 2008
Britney Spears may have made the headlines for her MTV Video Music Awards triumph this week, but attention has also been turning towards the numerous cosmetic surgery procedures she has undergone in the past.
In 2007, Britney's performance at the MTV Video Awards was criticised for its lack of coordination, and many journalists and fans accused the star of being out of shape. This year, however, she returned to the stage with a freshly toned, rejuvenated body.
Some celebrity commentators believe that her new sparkling smile may be due to cosmetic dental work. It is also believed that last year she had lip injections to plump up her mouth, a procedure that is usually carried out using collagen or dermal fillers.
Speculation over Britney's plastic surgery has surrounded her since her first rise to fame. In 2004, the singer was widely believed to have had a breast enlargement and the fluctuating size of her chest has been a constant cause for discussion since. She is also said to have undergone rhinoplasty (nose surgery) during the early stages of her singing career.
According to celebrity plastic surgery news site, Make Me Heal, it is also suspected that Britney has undergone various forms of liposuction in the past. However, there are no reports that she has ever had a tummy tuck, even after her pregnancies.
Although it is not believed that Britney had any cosmetic surgery done immediately prior to the MTV Awards, it is clear that these procedures have helped to sculpt her body into the exemplary form it is in today.

Comic Con: JoBlo Rocks Out With Metallica!
Comic Con 2013 offered a number of highlights for the JoBlo crew. Whether it was the BATMAN/SUPERMAN announcement or Tom Hiddleston as Loki presenting scenes from THOR: THE DARK WORLD, it was a wild and wonderful four days. Yet for me, hands down was the opportunity to see Metallica live doing a secret show for their fans in support of their upcoming IMAX 3D feature film METALLICA THROUGH THE NEVER. The ninety minute set was filled with a number of the bands best tunes including One, Seek and Destroy, Master of Puppets with a few songs from the Black album including Nothing Else Matters and Enter Sandman back to back.
The secret event was held at The Spreckles Theatre in San Diego and band members James Hetfield, Lars Ulrich, Kirk Hemmett and Robert Trujillo had the audience awaiting every single note. They even played their own take on the STAR WARS theme which had the fans cheering. It was an incredible evening and the band played headbangingly well. Hetfields powerful growl was in full force that night, as well were his band mates. The idea of spending a night that normally would be reserved for alcohol and partying was well spent rocking out to one of my favorite bands!
A few hours before the concert we had the opportunity to sit down with Ulrich, Hemmett and Trujillo as well as director Nimród Antel and actor Dane DeHaan for an intimate roundtable interview and talk about the upcoming feature METALLICA THROUGH THE NEVER. The level of excitement they had for the upcoming film was clear and from the trailer, it seems Metallica fans should be in for a super apocalyptic treat.
When asked where the project came from, guitarist Kirk Hemmett told us, It was our managers idea to put together a stage show so massive that youd have no choice but to document it in 3D and IMAX. He didnt sell it to us like that but basically it was our managers idea to come up with a huge stage and play all our greatest hits and film it and put it out to the masses. The idea was to always do it in IMAX. We actually tried to do an IMAX film about ten years ago but it didnt pan out and so this idea was kind of riding on the heels of that old idea of making an IMAX movie. When asked about the stage itself he added, The stage is so huge it is a spectacle in itself.
Electric bass player Robert Trujillo who joined the band on February 24, 2003 chimed in, The interesting thing is that they had already started production of this stage. We didnt even really know how far along and how this thing was progressing. We had a meeting and they were already building a stage, the money had already been spent and we hadnt even confirmed it. They were so excited about presenting this.
Trujillo went on to say that they wanted something more than simply a concert footage Metallica movie. We wanted to have a narrative within the concert film and not just have it be another Metallica concert being filmed. Thats where we were head-butting a little bit because they had intended it to be just a full blown concert film. Then we as a band wanted to do something different.
After speaking to Hemmett and Trujillo, we later joined Ulrich, Antal and DeHaan. As far as the narrative, DeHaan told us a little about his character. I play this guy Trip who is a roadie for the band and he shows up at the beginning of the concert really hoping that tonight he gets to watch. And the concert starts and he gets sent on this errand to go get this bag, but for him he loves the band so much that he would die for the band. So he gets sent on this crazy journey and he pretty much has to go through hell and back to try and get the bag and bring it back before the concerts over.
Ulrich explained to us about the idea of how the band continues to grow and how THROUGH THE NEVER helped to accomplish that. I think increasingly as you get into the fourth decade of our career [Laughing] its frightening its just looking for things to do that are out of our comfort zone. Its that simple. Doing something that is unique and otherworldly to us just fuels us. We love making records and we love doing that grind but we also know it so well that it can sometimes not particularly be theres just not a lot of surprises. We want to make records that we enjoy but increasingly in the last few years when Lou Reed calls we just cant wait to take things out of our comfort zone. We just jump into these projects often not knowing where we are going to land or how its going to go and say yes sometimes even if before its thought through, but that is kind of how we are as people. Its kind of how the dynamic of this band is.
In regards to perception of the band, he added that, A lot of people have this idea that Metallica is this big multi-national cooperation that sits around in board rooms and crosses ts and dots Is. Its just four guys that are trying to figure it all out and have as much fun as possible. And we love to do stuff like this that is out of our comfort zone and then we go back to make music and we are kind of reenergized.
Filmmaker Antal (PREDATORS, VACANCY) clearly brought his passion to the project. I always felt that having an opportunity to work with someone like them would be a pretty awesome experience so when the phone call came through they asked, much like they had asked Dane (DeHaan) and they said, Hey, does a Metallica concert film interest you? I jumped at the opportunity. There are a few different reasons for it and one is being a fan of theirs, but also having the opportunity to do something that I hadnt done before. That challenge was exciting.
Originally, a handful of directors were asked about their interest in the project, but it was Antal who wooed them. He explained exactly how he approached this challenging task. Writing the story was kind of a three tier thing. We had a general idea that had started with a seed of protest and that was something that Metallica has always represented at least for me, they have always been f*ck you music for me. So protest was at the heart of it, and the day that I pitched them the idea interestingly enough, Time Magazine picked the Man of the Year to be the protestor. That was a fascinating coincidence.
The director then added, There was a book that I had read called The Alchemist which structurally was something that I felt was appropriate for this story, and the structure of it. And the most beautiful thing that gave me ammunition to use and that helped me to hopefully inspire Dane and the band was meeting some of the guys that worked for the band. One gentleman in particular, Dan Brown, who is the stage manager and the tour manager, production manager, Dan makes it happen physically. Having conversations with him early on, one thing became immediately apparent to me and that was his passion for his job and the fact that he loves these guys.
As a Metallica fan I couldnt be more excited to see exactly what to make of METALLICA THROUGH THE NEVER. Could it be that we have a brand new classic rock and roll flick like PINK FLOYDS THE WALL or PURPLE RAIN? Only time will tell personally Im counting the days until the films release on September 27th, 2013.

Title: the sidewalks are watching me think about you
Author: Aimee5
Loker, Cal/Gillian, post-Honey, PG
Disclaimer: I do not own this show or these characters.
Thanks: To my beta, tempertemper77, for her help, encouragement and kind words.
The sidewalks are watching me think about you
- The Weakerthans, Left & Leaving
The October evening air was cool as Loker pulled his jacket tighter around himself. He'd been walking the streets of D.C. with little direction since everyone had dispersed at the Lightman Group a good two hours earlier.
He thought of Torres, visibly shaking as she shrugged off any attempt at comfort from himself or Reynolds. She'd sat huddled in a corner of reception on the phone, looking younger and smaller than he'd ever seen her. Fifteen minutes later Dupree was there, his arms encircling her and her soft sobs the only thing breaking the silent air.
Loker had watched as Reynolds had fielded questions, demands, accusations and pats on the back. Six people knew the events that had unfolded at the Lightman Group that day, and Reynolds was keeping it that way. As Reynolds had surrendered his firearm for inspection Loker had met his eyes briefly, understanding and respectful thanks passing between them as Loker silently walked out into the darkness.
His feet crunched through the leaves as he thought about Lightman. He thought how, today, he had witnessed surrender on his mentor's face. Lightman had a gun to his head, and there had come a point where he had given up. Loker thought how he should now being seeing Lightman as weak, he should be disappointed that he hadn't stayed strong until the very end. But Loker himself had never been so scared as when he impersonated Mike Zancanelli, and suddenly he was filled with nothing but awe as he realised just how long Lightman had held on to his courage and self-sacrifice.
Foster's hands had been shaking, he remembered, tears leaking from her eyes as she painted the perfect picture of helpless anguish. Suddenly he'd had the strongest urge to protect her, something he was still feeling now. As much as she'd explained away Lightman's sudden departure, Loker saw in her face how she wanted nothing more than for Lightman to take her with him. She needed his presence to convince her that everything would be ok.
Loker wondered, naively, if he could be a good enough replacement presence. He was drawn to Foster, inexplicably, which was why he wasn't entirely startled to find himself a couple of roads away from where she now lived. He remembered her moving-in party, the warm green-coloured walls and the picture frames and the log fire and the comfortable furniture. It wasn't very Dr. Foster but it was very Gillian, and it was in that moment that he'd realised how much he wanted to know the latter.
He was just turning the corner when he glimpsed a figure with a recognisable gait. He stilled, pausing behind some trees on the corner of the street, suddenly feeling like a peeping tom. He shouldn't be here, witnessing this, yet he couldn't tear his eyes away.
He could see her relief upon opening the door. He could see his guilt and confusion, hurt and distress. He could see so many emotions upon his mentor's face that it floored him and he suddenly realised that there was another side to Lightman, too. He was called Cal and only Gillian got to see him. Loker wondered how he'd never fit the pieces of the puzzle together before, and came to the conclusion that he just hadn't wanted to see them.
They were dancing, in their own way. He stepped in, stepped out, she followed him, he came back. He looked lost, she looked concerned. Loker didn't need to be able to hear them to know what was going on. Cal asked a question, finally, and Gillian collapsed in relief. Yes, was the answer. As she stopped him to embrace him, clinging on so hard she had fistfuls of his shirt, Loker saw all he needed to see on Gillian's face. Love.
He turned around.
It was time to go home.

Penn Athletics is committed to its mission of holistically developing all 1,000 of our student-athletes. As part of this mission we are invested in creating champions in the classroom, in the community and in competition. Across all 33 of our varsity teams, our student-athletes are committed to improving the world around them. Penn Champions Club members set the example that our community is bigger than any one person and it's important to support causes that need assistance. Through this, Penn student-athletes are driven to be champions in the community. Some examples of this include the following:
Young Quakers
Through a partnership with the Barbara and Edward Netter Center for Community Partnerships, Penn Lacrosse and Penn Track & Field student-athletes mentor kindergarten through 8th graders from West Philadelphia public schools. Penn student-athletes provide guidance by mentoring the children both on and off the field. In addition to mentoring, the program provides coaches, uniforms, sports equipment, bus transportation, and access to the University's world-class playing fields at no cost to the schools or their students. The program participants also benefit from the Netter Center's comprehensive UACS programming, which brings additional academic, human, and material resources from Penn to their schools during the school day, after school and in the summer.
Be the Match
For the last 8 years Penn Football has participated in the "Be the Match" program, which provides potential bone marrow matches to those in need of a transplant. Not only has the entire football team registered as matches, the team runs a drive to recruit those outside the team to offer themselves as potential matches as well. In addition to the entire freshman class registering this year, Penn Football recruited 239 new bone marrow registry members. This has resulted in 11 matches and subsequent bone marrow transplants since Penn Football got involved with Be the Match.
Cradles to Crayons
The Penn Softball team donates its time each year to work with the Cradles to Crayons organization. Cradles to Crayons (C2C) focuses on providing children age 12 and under who live in low-income households with the essentials they need to survive. Of the top 10 major U.S. cities, Philadelphia has the highest child poverty rate with over 130,000 children experiencing severe financial hardship. C2C provides these children with items that will improve their daily lives at home, at school and at play. Cradles to Crayons collects new and nearly-new children's items through grassroots community drives and corporate donations. Penn Softball helps process, package and distribute these items to disadvantaged children.
