A childhood relic, discovered in a shoe box coffin, was the inspiration for my body of work. This dilapidated toy rabbit is a remnant of a relationship where idolatry turned to difference. This icon has been resurrected and forced to adapt to a new and unfamiliar environment. Is this loss of identity fair? Should individuals be forced to change in order to maintain their importance? These are the issues I have explored through my artwork. The title is an extract from the popular children's book The velveteen rabbit. It is our experiences that shape us, not our origins. My rabbit has, quite literally, been loved to death. There is always choice; some see the beauty, others cannot look past the scars. Ultimately, the choice is irrelevant. What matters is that a small one-eared bunny was given the chance to tell its story.

Mothering Without a Map: The Search for the Good Mother Within
Penguin Publishing Group, 2005 - Family & Relationships - 304 pages
Every woman longs to be a good mother. But what about those women who grew up "undermothered"—whose own mothers were well-meaning but unavailable, absent, distracted, or depressed? How are they to become the good mothers they aspire to be?
In this beautifully articulate book, Kathryn Black, whose own mother's early death inspired her award-winning In the Shadow of Polio, offers affirming news: One doesn't have to have had a good mother to become one. Probing for answers from experts in psychiatry and psychoanalysis, social work, biology, and other disciplines, Black reveals that there are other paths to discovering the good mother within. This moving and powerful book shows how "wounded daughters" can become "healing mothers" who give their own children a legacy of security, happiness, and love.

DA proceeding with caution on pot cases
Summit Daily News
Vail, CO Colorado
SUMMIT COUNTY – With prosecutors taking sides pending marijuana cases after voters approved Amendment 64 legalizing the possession of up to an ounce of the drug, outgoing Summit County DA Mark Hurlbert said he's going to take a look at cases in the 5th Judicial District.
"That's something we're going to take a look at on a case-by-case basis," Hurlbert said. "Right now the law tells me that I have to prosecute those cases."
There are no pending cases against people over the age of 21 for possession of less than an ounce of marijuana in Summit County, a fact that reflects local law enforcement's already fairly relaxed stance on the issue even prior to the approval of the legalization measure.
"It was never a priority for us, really, unless you brought attention to yourself," Summit County Sheriff John Minor said recently. "It's still, as far as we know, on the books … but it's not going to be a huge priority for us and it hasn't been for some time."
Marijuana is already decriminalized in Breckenridge, although neither that law nor the new constitutional amendment make it legal to use the substance publicly or to drive while under its influence.
There are 14 cases of possession of less than an ounce of marijuana pending in Eagle County and an additional 12 in Clear Creek, both of which fall into Hurlbert's District 5, which he says will require careful consideration.
Marijuana activists have urged prosecutors across the state to drop outstanding marijuana charges in the wake of the voters' decision to legalize the substance for adults over the age of 21, and Hurlbert was no exception.
Local marijuana attorney and advocate Sean McAllister recently emailed Hurlbert asking him to discontinue prosecution of all pending possession and paraphernalia cases.
"On this issue, Mark Hurlbert has not represented the community well," McAllister said. "His personal views have always prohibited him from acknowledging the majority will of the 5th Judicial District of not wanting to criminalize marijuana users, and it's unfortunate if he's unwilling to dismiss these cases like several other DAs have done."
McAllister urged individuals with pending marijuana-related charges to go to trial rather than accepting plea bargains, saying he didn't expect there would be much chance of conviction.
Incoming District Attorney Bruce Brown, a defense lawyer from Evergreen who beat out current assistant DA Scott Turner for the district's top prosecutor job in the recent election, takes a more relaxed stance on marijuana issues.
Prior to the election, he promised to dismiss drug paraphernalia cases for offenders committed to ending drug or alcohol dependency.

Guys, this is getting creepy. Can we talk about cannibalism instead?
"I don't give a fuck about race...I'm white, I'm American, but that shit don't matter. I'm human."
TL;DR- I wouldn't convert to Christianity of any stripe. I would be Tony Stark in the presence of Thor.
If there is one thing that could do it, it's be if God could be 100%, without a doubt proven to not exist.
I don't know how you prove such a thing. Do you have to swear that you've searched every inch of the earth? Search outer space? (Which is obviously limited.) It just doesn't work.
Does your belief in God have really no consequences whatsoever? Is there nothing that you would expect to see or not see in a universe where God is real, as opposed to one where he's not?If there is, then that implies the possibility of seeing something you wouldn't expect to see if God was real, thus evidence against. If not, well, can you really say you believe in any meaningful way?

Minnesota is home to the largest Somali community in the United States, numbering at least 32,000. If it takes a village, we have a couple.
Yet we know amazingly little about the Somali community, probably because we are afraid to ask the relevant questions. We know they are mostly Muslim — we can see the hijabs, we are familiar with the many local controversies to which their faith has given rise over the past 10 years — but are they loyal residents or citizens of the United States? In the conflict between the United States and the Islamist forces with which are contending, whose side are they on?
The terror trial that concluded with a raft of guilty verdicts last month raises these questions and others. The two defendants are women who were convicted of charges including conspiracy to provide material support to a designated terrorist organization, of providing support, and of lying to the FBI. The "terrorist organization" is al Shabab, an affiliate of al Qaeda.
The ringleader was not exactly remorseful after the jury returned its guilty verdicts. According to the AP, she stood before the judge and stated through an interpreter: "I am very happy." She added that she knew she was going to heaven. Even if she is headed to heaven, she'll be stopping off in prison first. As for the rest of us, she advised: "You will go to hell."
The investigation that resulted in the charges involved here has consumed the local FBI office for the past three years. The investigation has previously resulted in a string of guilty pleas involving local Somali men supporting al Shabab.
Investigators believe at least 21 Somali men have left Minnesota to join al Shabab. We're a little concerned they might choose to return to Minnesota to continue the jihad. One such departed Minnesotan was the late Abdisalan Hussein Ali, formerly a University of Minnesota premed student residing in Minneapolis. Ali appears to have detonated himself at an African Union base in Mogadishu over the weekend in service of the jihad. Ali's identity has yet to be confirmed; the FBI seeks to acquire a sample of the remains from the bombing in Mogadishu for DNA testing.
Before undertaking the suicide mission, Ali (assuming that is who the bomber was) left a recorded message for his fellow Muslims around the world. Speaking in English, the voice on the tape urged other young Muslims to "do jihad in America, do jihad in Canada, do jihad in England, anywhere in Europe, in Asia, in Africa, in China, in Australia."
He added: "Anywhere you find [unbelievers]," the voice continued, "fight them and be firm against them."
He urged: "Don't just sit around, you know, and be, you know, a couch potato and just like, just chill all day. Today jihad is what is most important. It's not important that you become a doctor, or some sort of engineer."
So much for Mr. Ali. What about the rest of the local Somali community? Members of the local Somali community materialized at the federal courthouse in Minneapolis to support the two Minnesota women convicted of supporting al Shabab. The members of the local Somali community appearing at the courthouse were apparently untroubled by the defendants' guilt of the crimes charged. On the contrary, they were troubled by the defendants' convictions — and not because of any evidence of innocence. The issue was beside the point. No voice expressly spoke up on behalf of law-abidingness or loyalty to the United States.
Reporter Allie Shah doesn't raise the question of community attitudes in her Star Tribune article today on Ali's message from Mogadishu, which lamely tries to catch up with Josh Kron's New York Times article on Ali yesterday.
Here let me repeat my discussion of the timely National Affairs essay "The Muslim-American muddle," by Boston College political science professor Peter Skerry. In the essay Skerry expressly raises the question of loyalty.
The essay is by turns infuriating and illuminating, but at least it licenses inquiry into the question. Indeed, Skerry takes the question seriously and provides evidence supporting the concerns of "alarmists." He writes, for example: "To a non-Muslim observer, the most striking aspect of of these [ICNA and MSA] gatherings is the complete absence of any acknowledged tie to the United States."
Skerry contrasts "complacent elites" with "alarmist populists." I would place Skerry on the complacent side of the divide and myself on the alarmist side, although Skerry places himself (of course) in the middle as the voice of reason mediating between the two camps. But Skerry concludes the essay on what I would characterize as an alarmist (i.e., realist) note.
Along the way, Skerry seems to me to treat several basic issues (including assimilation) in a conclusory and question-begging fashion. He cites the naturalization of Muslim immigrants and their involvement in American politics, supporting Democrats, as factors supporting (I will say) complacency. Yet the two defendants in the Minneapolis terror trial are both naturalized citizens. (It is not clear from the recent news articles whether Ali was as well.)
And CAIR has formed a fruitful alliance with Democrats going back to its days as a Hamas front group (Skerry suggests that those days are behind it). Skerry rightly observes: "It is astonishing, given th[e history of CAIR], that the mainstream American media should routinely describe CAIR as 'a Muslim civil rights organization.'"
Skerry does not raise the question whether the immigration spigot should remain open while we sort out the serious issues that he addresses in his essay. The question doesn't even seem to cross his mind. The Minneapolis terror trial and the case of Mr. Ali seem to me to raise in an acute form this question and others that Skerry does address in his useful if unsatisfactory and unsatisfying essay.
NOTE: This post is adapted from my comments last month on the conviction of the two Minnesota women in the Minneapolis terror trial.

The manager of Andrew Jackson State Park loves See Lancaster's 2007 Christmas ornament.
"This is the best one yet," said Kirk Johnston, adding his family has been collecting the See Lancaster ornaments for several years.
This year's ornament features an emblem of "The Boy of the Waxhaws" statue at Andrew Jackson State Park.
Kirk said that will be "good for the marketing of the park."
The ornament was the center of attention Thursday night as Alpine Insurance Agency and the Purple Rooster in downtown Lancaster hosted a party to unveil it.

"I'd rather have a bottle in front of me..." Go on, finish it.
Today we're gonna feature a tune that could very well be our theme song 'round these parts, if it weren't for our "title" song, which maybe deserves the next post. It's about time.
It takes a cool cat to carry off a brilliant tune like "Little Ol' Wine Drinker Me". It's a swingin' little boozer about, well, gettin' dumped. And grapes. Yummy yummy grapes. And the song takes us from California to Chicago (hooray!) to Florida (where we used to think "his" baby left a "floater" on the train...don't ask) to Tennessee. But it's all about a guy in the corner, listening to the jukebox and hugging the bottle of vin. It doesn't get much better than that.
We said it takes a cool cat to sing this song. Well, it doesn't get much cooler than our hero, Dean Martin, all laconic slurred fuck-off attitude, and heart-broken self-pity. We've been there, each and every one of us. Far as we're concerned, his is the definitive version. You may disagree.
But then you've got Robert goddam Mitchum, mighty Merle Haggard, Lefty Frizzell, and Charlie Walker adding their cool as ice renditions, and you've got one of the greatest sot-sodden tales of woe and wine ever crafted.
Frankly, the song is a Country song. I can't imagine another scenario where the tune would work. All these artists give it their best drawl'n'twang, and take a so-called novelty and turn it into a classic tavern turned gem of stem and drank.
I'm praying for a rain in California
So the grapes can grow and they can make more wine
And I'm sitting in a honky in Chicago
With a broken heart and a woman on my mind.
I'll ask the man behind the bar for the jukebox
And the music takes me back to Tennessee
And when they ask who's the fool in the corner, crying
I'll say, little old wine drinker, me.
I came here last week from down in Nashville
'Cause my baby left for Florida on a train
I thought I'd get a job and just forget her
But in Chicago a broken heart is still the same.
I'll ask the man behind the bar for the jukebox
And the music takes me back to Tennessee
And when they ask who's the fool in the corner, crying
I'll say, little old wine drinker, me...

Smashbal: A cool new youth volleyball experience
Amsterdam, the Netherlands, January 5, 2014 – Smashbal, a new volleyball game for young boys and girls, is quickly gaining ground in the Netherlands.
The game has four levels and each rally ends with volleyball's most attractive and challenging technique – the smash.Smashbal can be played within the outer lines of a badminton court or on half a volleyball court with a C-youth (7m) end line and the 3-metre line functioning as a serve line.
The duration of a rally is predominantly determined by the height of the net. The net height can be set depending on the players' level of play. The basic rule of the net height is that the top of the net is level with the wrist of an extended arm.
A Smashbal team
can comprise two or three persons and the game can also be played in two
against three formations.

The lasting residue from the death of Art Modell on Thursday morning possibly might reveal more about a city than about a man. Simply, that Cleveland never forgets.
The lasting residue from the death of Art Modell on Thursday morning possibly might reveal more about a city than about a man.
Simply, that Cleveland never forgets.
Long before LeBron James departed Lake Erie for fancier digs in South Beach, Art Modell was Public Enemy No. 1 in Cleveland.
Not only did Modell fire the man whose namesake provided the team�s moniker as well as the dominant uniform color, he pulled up by the roots a storied franchise and moved it to Baltimore of all places, a city that similarly had been dispossessed of a beloved NFL representative about a decade earlier.
Cleveland hasn�t had a competitive football team since, and the former Brownies turned Ravens had the audacity to win the Super Bowl just five years after relocation.
It should be pointed out that the site of every Roman Numeral spectacle is a place Browns� fans visit only out of curiosity. Their team never has been there, with or without Modell.
The former advertising executive earned lavish praise in the tributes that immediately followed his death. His contributions to the National Football League were many, but among the noteworthy embellishments he received were the words of men who played under his ownership, as well as those who sat arm in arm with him at league meetings.
If there is such a thing as a players� coach, Art Modell was a players� owner.
How that echoes in Ohio this morning is a matter for entrenched passions and memories to determine. Not unlike Joe Paterno�s recent death, we are left with a dichotomy of human bounty and frailty.
There is ample justification in leaving the dead to kind words, as well as there are deep-seated priorities of loyalty and devotion to be served. Possibly they should be distributed in the backroom today.
Merely be aware that before LeBron, there was Art. Prior to that, maybe it was Frank Lane, who traded away the immensely popular Indians slugger Rocky Colavito. And to the Detroit Tigers, a team in Michigan by gawd.
But only the pentimento of many decades will ease the harsh modification of Modell�s name in Cleveland, Ohio. One response to the news of his death on Thursday: �Good. That�s what I thought when I first heard about it. I�m still bitter about the move.�
That from a female football fan.
After moving the Browns, Modell employed bodyguards as protection for a time, and never did return to his home in a plush suburb of Cleveland.
What he also left behind was just as telling: The team�s name, colors and history.
For that Browns� fans can thank him. Or curse him into eternity.

Another Korean brand I have been taking interest in is I bought these cute VOV! Their stuff seems quite affordable and very varied.
I purchased these Showcase Lip Play glosses because the packaging was so cute! No idea why they're called Showcase though…
Here is the shade range! These shimmer free glosses look kind of milky from the swatches which I like as a nice change from glitter!
Can you guess which 2 shades I picked?!
Here are the glosses:
I picked 04 Pink Ray a pale milky pink and 10 Cherry Chew a hot pink. Nice contrast between the two I thought!
I love the packaging! I think it's the dotty lid that did it:
I also like the applicators that are sponge tips with a heart shape – really nice to use on the lips:
I think these colours are fairly pigmented! Pink Ray is a milky pink and cherry chew is a pretty hot pink:
On the lips – they are not as pigmented. I prefer other glosses I've bought recently like Melliesh.
The light pink is quite nice, not too in your face pale but not really special:
The hot pink is a little sheer and unremarkable on the lips:
So basically I love the packaging, I love the applicator but the colours aren't pigmented enough for me – someone who prefers juicy sheer colour would like these though!
I got these for around £9 each on eBay.

Time Out says
Stylish all-day restaurant in Covent Garden whose globe-trotting dishes demonstrate owner Peter Gordon's innovative fusion cooking style.
Please note, Kopapa is now closed. Time Out Eating & Drinking editors, May 2016.
Fusion maestro Peter Gordon (of the Providores & Tapa Room) co-owns this handily located, stylish all-dayer. He oversees an exciting and well-executed menu that runs from breakfast to dinner, with missteps a rarity. Turkish eggs (poached eggs with yoghurt, hot chilli butter and flatbread) – a favourite from the Tapa Room – makes a welcome appearance on brunch and breakfast menus.
Lunch features weighty sandwiches (steak on focaccia with caramelised onion, mustard cream cheese, roast tomatoes and pickles) and burgers (soft-shell crab burger with Asian salad, spicy peanut mayonnaise and avocado), alongside salads (belper knolle cheese, roast grapes, mixed leaves, pickled ceps, walnuts and black vinegar dressing) and a selection of more inventive dishes. Many of these also appear as large or small plates on the evening menu.
Pan-fried sea bream with broccolini, rainbow chard, coconut coriander chutney and paprika crumbs is a typical main – quality produce, imaginatively teamed. There's the occasional disappointment (a slightly flabby serving of deep-fried sesame and Urfa chilli salted squid with sumac mayo, for example), but you'll never be bored.
Smiling staff are attentive and clued-up about the menu, which changes monthly. A wide-ranging wine list is buttressed by an eclectic set of cocktails, and even the modish brasserie-style decor globe-trots, very prettily in the case of the Turkish floor tiles.

The Turkish eggs are out of this world! I can guarantee that you never had anything like it!
I only go here for 1 reason, the Turkish Eggs. Soft boiled eggs served in a bowl of yoghourt and chilli oil smothered on sour dough toast is a unique culinary treat you should try. Excellent. Always quite busy at breakfast so worth booking ahead.
I had been wanting to try kopapa for a while. We took some friends so we wanted to impress. Overall very disappointing. I'd called ahead to let them know we were bringing buggies and was assured we'd have space that catered for this. However when we arrived we had to wait for tables to be moved and we were crammed in with absolutely no space. The crab burger I had was dry - I couldn't taste any crab, just dry, overworked batter. The donuts we ordered for dessert were dry. Staff made no attempt to engage with us. We certainly won't be returning.
The food was great ....
The food was good smiles all round
Very good experience! Our three course dinner was excellent, we really liked the variation and creativity in the different dishes. The timing between the courses was good and the staff friendly. Very good price - quality.
Absolute treat/Hidden Gem!
One to try for fusion foodie folk.
Great chef, friendly staff and amazing cocktail list to boot.
Overpriced tapas restaurant. Average quality.
Really gutted that this was so disappointing. Went for brunch on Christmas Eve, food and service was not what I'd expect, given the hype and it's pedigree. The much lauded Turkish eggs were underwhelming to say the least, they refused to throw together a basic mimosa, some of the staff were very patronising (the Maitre D was lovely, but very much the exception), and the veggie breakfast left my Mum feeling sick because it was so oily. It wasn't really busy so I have no idea why it was so joyless.
A busy, buzzy restaurant/cafe just a stone's throw from Covent Garden. There's nothing touristy or 'chain' about this place. It's noisy, with it's Turkish tiled floor amplifying the morning cheer from happy groups of mostly young diners. The coffee is great - not something that London is renowned for (but which seems to be getting better every time I visit). Having first dished up a decent double machiatto, the barista doesn't blink when I order a cortado for my second and the result is a perfect pour. The star of the show however is the brunch menu. Inventive and tasty, it's a million miles away from the standard English breakfast. Don't go past the Turkish Eggs a wonderful and unusual concoction served in a bowl with a spoon - taking a carefully constructed spoonful of soft poached egg with the yoghurt and chilli butter with a torn up piece of sourdough toast results in an incredible flavour match. If you can handle the buzz of a popular brasserie style space this might be the perfect brunch spot on a cool and rainy London Sunday.
I've been to Kopapa for brunch and dinner and have to say that the food was exceptional! There are some really innovative dishes on the menu and because it changes all the time it really is worth it to go again and again. The only downside is that it can be quite pricey.
The food (and cocktail list) here is delicious and innovative and there's always a nice buzzy atmosphere. I particularly love coming for brunch - there are always so many yummy things to try that I end up way over-ordering!
No - five stars NOT AT ALL justified. Three at best. Went based on the five stars given here, and was pretty disappointed. Nothing at all interesting or novel in the 'fusion' food; sauces all tasted the same; ribs not well cooked - dry and bland. Too noisy, tables too close, you have to shout to be heard (as therefore your neighbours do too, compounding the problem!) And pricey for the standard of food. Learning point - read reviews of actual customers alongside Timeout review, which is ridiculously effusive!!
No sense of customer service or business sense at all and big headed! I tried to make a booking for Sunday brunch for a group of 14 in 2 month's time and first of all they couldn't accommodate us for 1 pm so we agreed for 11 am which for most of us is really getting up at the crack of dawn if you partied hard the previous evening. Then we were told we had to clear the table by 12.30 as they can only give a 90-minute allocation per table. By the time people arrive and you order we probably would have had an hour to eat and leave immediately after. I did mention we were 14 people spending at your restaurant, couldn't you allocate at least 30 more minutes? The purpose of brunch is to relax and take it easy. But no exceptions could be given we were told. So even before we ate there we already got a bad impression and reading the reviews, I am glad we didn't miss anything. Who do they think they are?
I wish I had read the actual reviews on this place rather than just the totally absurd timeout rating. The food was OK, but certainly not spectacular. My wife had scallops which was OK but gritty and I had TomYum Spring rolls which sounded a lot tastier than they actually were. We both had the pork belly for mains and again it was OK, but it was a flavour combination which wasn't entirely successful with the Lychee salad. The fries were, unbelievably - soggy. How can a 5* rated restaurant serve soggy fries? Ridiculous! It was the service however which really took the biscuit. We were shoved in a table entirely too close to the other diners, to the point where we were virtually sharing tables. My chair kept being knocked by the staff bustling past and despite the staff seeming to be rushing hither and thither constantly the service was virtually nonexistent. It took about 15 minutes after we had finished our main course before we eventually managed to catch someones eye to take our plates away and then again trying to get the bill became a challenge. Finally the Maitre d' enquired as to why we were unwilling to pay the service charge, at which point we thought things might improve but still we had to ask twice for our coats before we eventually went to collect them ourselves as our taxi was waiting! Never again! There are so many great restaurants in London - don't bother with this one.
I've never written a review of a restaurant online. But I feel pretty strongly about my experience here. We had an awful time. Made to wait for ten minutes by the door while they got our table ready, we were then packed in like battery hens a the back of the restaurant (despite having booked ahead) where we were virtually sharing a table with three other couples. The waiting staff seemed inexperienced and poorly trained - several times they knocked their trays full of drinks into my and several other diners packed into the back of the restaurant, they forgot to take our order for twenty minutes but took orders from other diners who arrived after us, they were surly, brisk and couldn't even crack open a smile. The food here is actually rather good. Sea bream was lovely, with crisp skin and in a tasty broth. Pork belly was unctuous and with a nice butternut squash mash. Sorbet and brownie were more than passable. Despite this, however, myself and my wife were left in a much worse mood after an hour at Kopapa than we had been when we arrived. I think we might go for a quick sandwich at Pret next time....
Stopped by on a busy Saturday afternoon. What a disappointment! Most of the staff we dealt with were hardly polite, tense and inattentive (Poor welcome, had to ask many times to pay the bill, nobody answered our clear Goodbye...). I know: Saturday afternoon... But still, it is a very expensive place and I don't think we had been rude or had any unusual request. Food: nothing special really, and very small portions (we had ordered 2 desserts). A plate of various homemade chocolates and biscuits came very small and dry. My mistake, I should have thought that an assortment is often a way to get rid of old food. The stewed winter fruit with a scoop of sorbet was slightly better, with a more sophisticated palette. 2 coffees: rather good (from Monmouth), although with a hint of bitterness that I had never tasted in any Monmouth coffee. However, I do not appreciate to be lied to. We had ordered a skinny and a normal cappuccino, but were served two identical coffees that were... latte, and both made with semi-skimmed milk (the waiter confirmed). Again, no big deal, and usually I wouldn't care. But given the price... We felt stupid. Overall, the typical experience of a fashionable restaurant in a buzzing area that knows there is no need of any particular effort to attract customer. Time Out, what was going on the day you ate there? Could you review your review any soon?
Booked here for a pre-theatre meal, wish we hadn't. Staff were rushed and spent most of the time trying to shout requests from a distance as the tables are far too close together (which probably expained a carafe of wine arriving instead of a bottle, and a medium rather than well done burger). The belly-pork and salad was fine, but not worth £17 - you can get the same at any vietnamese restaurant for £8. All in all a thoroughly disappointing experience - not 5 stars in anyone's language.
What a bad experience! The food was rather bad. J and I ordered three different dishes and none of them were good. No taste at all. And the place lacks atmosphere. A memorable outing ruined by the food at this restaurant.
I had the worst experience of my life in this restaurant. I had been there twice before I found the service very poor, the staff rude and unprofessional. However the last time I went there it was the highlight of them all. Despite of the fact that I had a booking which I had made it personally on the phone, they had no table for me and my quests. They did not try to accommodate us in any way and they said we have to wait for an hour for a table! I found it extremely unprofessional as they had given our table to the customer without a bookings. I must say the first time I ate there the food was good and that is why I returned however the quality of it had gone done massive the second time and will never ever go back there or recommend it to anyone. It is over priced and the staff are rude!
We go here at least once a fortnight..love it! The ricotta fritters are by far the best I have ever eaten. Service is 10/10. Would go there all the time if I could!
Tried Kopapa tonight and was pleasantly surprised with their food - very well prepared and tasty. The waiter(ess) was quite attentive and making sure that our table was cleaned after every course. I did not enjoy the seat very much though as it gave me a bit of sore bums and my friend did not enjoy the setting as well... Then there was the smell of the smokes from outside tables and they have not close the doors so my nose was completely blocked and throat been hurting after left the restaurant this evening (allergic to the smokes). The ambience and the quality of the air was not great this evening and it really makes me question if I should have gone back next time or taking clients/colleagues to it.
Kopapa has dramatically deteriorated since opening around a year ago. On a visit for brunch last Friday I sent my breakfast back three times before the right order arrived, by which time my partner was finished & my food (having presumably been sat on the counter for 20 minutes) was cold. There was no apology or offer to take the item off of the bill. Given the cost (£40+ for breakfast for two) this is really unacceptable. There are better alternatives in Soho and Covent Garden.
This place is by far the biggest rip off in central London. The tables are on top of each other so no personal space whatsoever. The staff is completely average, but the real infuriating aspect of this place is the "tapas concept" frankly just an excuse to sell tiny dishes for the price of a normal main anywhere else. We spent £40 each and we left the place starving, such an unenjoyable experience. If you are prepared to spend around that and have a remarkable dinner The Opera Tavern is a much better choice in the area.
Excellent food, had a selection of the small and large plates from a very interesting menu, each dish excelled. Service was excellent. Highly recommend the double fried blue cheese starter and the cod main.
I had been looking forward to going to the Kopapa restaurant for so long! I finally ventured out to Soho for breakfast there this morning with clients and what a disappointment. The waitress forgot almost all of the fresh juices, just ordering a glass of water took 20 minutes and even then I had to remind the staff. It wasn't a busy service either and we were only a table of six. The dishes arrived at different times so some had finished eating by the time others had just started. And the worst of it, the poached eggs were over cooked. The easiest dish a restaurant can serve. I brought this up to the waitress which was obviously pointless as it wasn't even taken in to account by the end of our meal. For a chef of his calibre, this is not what I expected from a Peter Gordan venue. Kopapa is no match for Providores and I won't be returning.
I went with high hopes as Providores is reliable. I left disappointed. The menu sounds great but the savoury waffles (chilli?) were a bit dry. There were mixed reactions from the group we were with - a bit hit and miss depending on what you order.
Great food with an original menu, which I enjoyed reading. The ricotta cakes were delicious! It was a shame we were ignored by the staff the entire time having to ask a few times before getting some water or the bill at the end. I will be back though to try the chilli & onion waffles & hope the staff are more attentive next time.
Had fantastic lunch at kopapa, there were six of us and we mixed up the dishes, could not have been better, too good for lunch was the general consensus, we will be back for dinner
v nice vegetarian choice
This will be my first visit so I hope I will not be as dissopointed as some reviews that I've read I booked on the strength of what I read in time out

England produced one of the great Twickenham performances to beat the world champions by a record 38-21 scoreline and end the All Blacks' 20-Test unbeaten streak.
Only once in 498 Tests had New Zealand been beaten by more. England's previous best victory over the All Blacks was 13-0 in 1936.
New Zealand, South Africa, Australia and France are the top seeds in tomorrow's draw - and Woodward thinks none of them will want to be grouped with 2015 tournament hosts England.
"It was a great, great victory for the English team," Woodward told Sportsweek on Radio Five Live.
"The scoreline absolutely reflected the performance and it was a great, great day to be at Twickenham.
"They have some great players in there - Joe Launchbury, Tom Wood, Chris Robshaw - who were world class yesterday.
"They had lost the previous two. This was a real David and Goliath effort. They came out and threw the kitchen sink and New Zealand got completely rattled. Every phase of the game they won.
"It makes the draw fascinating given England have just demolished New Zealand.
"The top four sides will not want to be playing against England.
"The draw is really important because it shows which way you go through the quarter-finals, semi-finals.
"That one result yesterday will make the southern hemisphere teams sit up and say for once 'we want to keep away from England'."
Woodward also believes England's victory was significant for the whole of northern hemisphere rugby. France beat Australia and Ireland beat Argentina but otherwise the autumn was a disappointment for the Six Nations teams.
"If England had not won yesterday, the Six Nations would have been a second division competition but because of what England did, and to some extent Ireland beating Argentina comfortably, it just sets the Six Nations up absolutely huge.
"It also sets the Lions year up really, really well now."
Lancaster's pride in his team was clear and he was delighted England proved what they were capable of and, crucially with 2015 in mind, gave an indication of what they could become.
"Our belief in the direction we are on hasn't wavered over the last four weeks. We nearly got across the line against Australia and South Africa but just missed out," Lancaster said.
"We copped for a bit but stayed tight and we put in a performance we can all be proud of.
"It was less than 11 months ago we changed the direction of travel for England rugby, to build a team for the future but also wanting to win in the here and now.
"Sometimes it takes a win to show that and the most pleasing thing is it has given a clear view of the direction we are going."

If you grew up in the 1980s on a steady diet of cartoons, you probably spent many mornings captivated by the Transformers. And while Optimus Prime might have been the noble leader of the Autobots, he would never be as universally loved as the show's real star — Grimlock — who's now immortalised forever in this fantastic hoodie.
With its giant Autobot logo on the chest, a hood designed to look like Grimlock's head complete with teeth, and tiny little robot t-rex arms on the sleeves, this is as awesome as '80s nostalgia gets. At $US60 it isn't cheap, but you've pretty much got an awesome Halloween costume for the next 10 years — besides living and sleeping in it all day long the rest of the year. There's also an Optimus Prime version enroute for those who prefer the Autobots' fearless leader, but where's the fun in that? You might as well get a hoodie designed to look like your high school principal.

COBB COUNTY, GA — A father has been charged with murder in the death of his 2-year-old child after he allegedly left the toddler in a hot car for eight hours.
Police said Justin Ross Harris, 34, was supposed to drop the child off at daycare, but forgot. He then drove to work around 9 a.m. Wednesday and left the toddler in the car. It wasn't until Harris left work and started driving home that he looked in the backseat and saw the child still strapped in the car seat and unresponsive.
A witness saw Harris pull into the Akers Mill Square shopping center, stop his car straddling two lanes of traffic, jump out and begin CPR on the toddler.
Harris is charged with murder and cruelty to children, both felonies and is currently being held without bond at the Cobb County Adult Detention Center.
Anyone with information about this case which may assist detectives is asked to call (770) 499-3945.

Thomas P. O'Neill, Jr. and Boston College
virtual exhibit spring 2002 - burns library
Introduction | Background | Student | Speaker | Alumnus | Honors | Conclusion
Today it would be hard to be a member of the Boston College community and not come into contact with some element of the legacy that Thomas P. O'Neill, Jr. (Class of 1936) has left to the university. The late Speaker of the United States House of Representatives (known to his friends and colleagues as "Tip") has had a library, a scholarship fund and an endowed faculty position named after him. He even donated his political papers to the Boston College Library. O'Neill never forgot his alma mater and contributed his own time and energy to aid Boston College in its development activities, helping to make the institution grow from a small liberal arts college into one of the nation's preeminent research and teaching universities.
O'Neill is pictured here in the procession line of the 1981 University Commencement. He received the Ignatian Medal and was the keynote speaker that year.
Despite O'Neill's many contributions both to Boston College and the nation as a whole, his achievements are in danger of fading from popular memory. For instance, today's undergraduates are unlikely to remember O'Neill in public office, as they were barely in elementary school when he retired from political life in 1986. Years after his graduation from Boston College, O'Neill remained fond of his alma mater and his alma mater celebrated his achievements. This sentiment is evident in the photograph reproduced here. The image shows a sign at Alumni Stadium welcoming O'Neill to the campus for the 1981 Commencement.
Riding on the wave of excitement generated by the recent publication of John Aloysius Farrell's Tip O'Neill and the Democratic Century (Boston: Little, Brown & Co., 2001), this exhibit hopes to inform and remind people of O'Neill's legacy as a Boston College student and alumnus. The exhibit uses images and other materials found in the Thomas P. O'Neill Papers and University Archives housed in the Burns Library.

I would like the word "TAILORED" to look a little more formal and classic, while "GLAM" can be more playful and extreme! I'd like a modern look, that looks expensive tailored to a mature audience. It would be great if the LOGO/color can be something that people can SEE and automatically recognize as the bridal website's logo. I tend to like a bold logo, I like black normally as the word colors.
Thank you~!

A downtown Morenci building has a new owner and planning continues for a Subway restaurant in the building.
The closing for the sale of property at 203-205 W. Main St.—the former Knoblauch grocery store—was made final last week. New owner Ketan Patel of Mason, Mich., intends to renovate the building and open a Subway restaurant in the ground floor of the east side of the structure.
The west side would become available for office or retail space and, eventually, four apartments would be created on the second floor.
Patel owns Subway franchises in Hudson and Lansing, plus a pizza franchise in East Lansing.
Patel is using a state façade grant of $164,000 and $212,000 in private funds for the renovation project.
The first building permit for the renovation was taken from city hall today, reported city administrator/clerk Renée Schroeder, for the purpose of installing a new roof.
City council members voted Monday to accept the low bid from Tenmile Creek Excavating of Detroit for the city's parking lot rebuilding project.
The firm's bid of $652,800 was only $3,800—less than half a percent—lower than Brady from Tecumseh. Six companies submitted bids.
Public Works committee vice-chair Jason Cook reported that the city's engineer studied the bids and recommended Tenmile's as the low bidder.
Morenci mayor Keith Pennington said that Tenmile won't do all the work itself since, for example, it has no paving equipment.
ROOF—Councilors voted to accept the low bid offered by Kevin Arquette ($1,440) to replace the roof on the west shelter house at Wakefield Park.
ALS—The annual resolution for funding the Morenci Area EMS service calls for no increase in the existing special assessment.
ALPINE—The Lenawee Economic Development Corporation—owner of the former Alpine (M&S) buildings in Morenci—decided recently to temporarily shut off the utilities to the vacant manufacturing space.
ROAD REPAIR—A contract was approved with the Lenawee Road Commission to tar and chip 4,000 feet of Coomer Street, starting at the east city limits and also a portion of W. Chestnut Street.
SHOOTING—Police chief Larry Weeks said formal notification arrived ruling that a Morenci police officer showed appropriate use of force in a shooting incident in Hillsdale County.
BUDGET—Council approved the city budget for the 2011-12 fiscal year, showing general fund revenue and expenditures of $1.188 million, including a contingency fund of $114,475.

Dishcrawl made the Louisville scene, I've been wanting to check it out. And I am so excited to have been asked to participate this month in one of two NuLu-based crawls. The first event sold out (but some tickets have recently come available again) in a jiffy, so Dishcrawl added a second night. The two NuLu crawls are on April 16 and 17 and are $45 each.
If you don't know what a Dishcrawl is, it's a progressive dinner event, where you dine at a number of restaurants, usually within walking distance, eating one course at each stop. The starting place and the itinerary remain a mystery to you, so you sign up to participate in a Crawl of a particular neighborhood, pay one price and enjoy whatever the organizers throw at you. It's a great chance to try new places and to hobknob with fellow food enthusiasts (oy, I hate the term "foodie").
It's a food event, a neighborhood event and a social event all rolled into one.
And Allison from Dishcrawl has offered a giveaway to Loueyville readers. After the NuLu events, the next event is a Derby Crawl. Dishcrawl is offering a $20 gift certificate to the Derby Crawl to one of our readers. The event will take place on 4th street on May 1 at 7 p.m.
From the Dishcrawl website:
What better way to spend the least productive work week in Louisville but on a Derby Dishcrawl? Grab your gang for a tour of the 4th Street Area of Town with Derby Inspired items, and be prepared to meet some new friends along the way. You'd better act fast though! These tickets are just like the Derby, they don't hang around long! It's a guessing game! We're keeping the names of the restaurants we will be visiting a secret for now, but here and there we'll give you some hints. Follow us on Twitter @dishcrawllou and be the first to know!How do you win the gift certificate? Go "like" Louisville Dishcrawl on Facebook and follow them on Twitter @dishcrawlLou. Then tell me you've done all that in the comments or email me at lou (at) loueyville.com. And you're entered! If you've already "liked" and followed them, you're still eligible– just make sure you comment or email. We'll pick a winner on April 20 and notify you pronto.
Thanks so much to Dishcrawl Louisville for offering this prize to Loueyville readers. Stay tuned to the blog and my Twitter (@loueyville) to hear more about my NuLu Crawl experience.

Essential Practices
Watch the videos below to learn the basic meetinghouse care practices of successful bishops.
Additional Successful Practices
Teach Members about Meetinghouse Cleaning and Care - Members will be more likely to participate happily in meetinghouse cleaning and care if they understand why the Presiding Bishopric has asked them to do it. Make sure they know that this is not about saving money. It is about building testimonies and showing respect to the Lord. You may also want to highlight some of the rewards that members can obtain through faithful participation:
- Children and youth learn to keep things clean at the meetinghouse and at home.
- Everyone enjoys strengthened friendships with those they serve with.
- Members can enjoy quiet, spiritual moments in the meetinghouse and feel the Spirit.
You may want to teach these principles as part of a Sunday School class or other special meeting. Before asking the members for their dedicated participation, you may want to show the video "Reverence for the Lord's House" to invite the Spirit into the meeting.
Work Effectively with Your Ward Building Representative - There are many ways a ward building representative can assist you with meetinghouse cleaning and care. The ward building representative leadership page teaches several key principles that can help your ward be successful with their efforts. Review that page to get ideas about how you can work with your ward building representative more effectively. Thoroughly reviewing that page should take only about 20-30 minutes. You can find additional information on this topic in Handbook 1, section 8.2.
Thank Those Who Participate - People like to feel appreciated. Take time to thank those who participate. You may want to do this in a Sunday meeting or by personal contact. The more direct the appreciation is, the more meaningful it will be. Showing appreciation helps members want to participate in the future.

David L. Ulin revisits James M. Cain's novel, "Mildred Pierce" in the L.A. Times:
Of all the classic noir writers, perhaps none has been as tarnished by the brush of genre as James M. Cain. That's because Cain — born in Baltimore in 1892, a protégé of H.L. Mencken and, briefly, managing editor of The New Yorker — was not a great hard-boiled novelist but a great novelist period, whose vision of 1930s Southern California is as acute and resonant as anything ever written about that time and place.
…"I make no conscious effort to be tough, or hard-boiled, or grim," Cain once noted of his own writing, "or any of the things I am usually called. I merely try to write as the character would write, and I never forget that the average man, from the fields, the streets, the bars, the offices, and even the gutters of his country, has acquired a vividness of speech that goes beyond anything I could invent, and that if I stick to this heritage, this logos of the American countryside, I shall attain a maximum of effectiveness with very little effort."

Wendy Lecker: School takeovers disenfranchise poor districts
School boards are hallmarks of representative democracy; public forums where members answer directly to the community for the education of their children. As Connecticut's highest court recognized, local school boards are "most responsive to the needs of the local school district and the will of the local population." They are truly "of the people, by the people and for the people."
Unless you live in a poor school district in Connecticut.
A dangerous trend in current educational reform is the disenfranchisement of voters in poor districts. Pontificating about "school improvement," our state government is routinely stripping the powers of rightfully elected boards of education, as if student achievement and democracy are somehow incompatible.
New London and Bridgeport are the latest victims.
On June 6, the state Board of Education voted to appoint a special master to run New London's school district. The pretext for this takeover was the dysfunction of the school board, which the state found was rife with personal agendas (and state government isn't?) and conflicts with the superintendent.
Commissioner Stefan Pryor presented his case at the state BOE meeting. Except for Pryor's passing reference to an "interrelationship between achievement and governance," no one demonstrated any causal relationship, or any connection, between the board's behavior and student test scores.
In fact the state readily admitted that, "Many of the problems of New London and the New London School District are the direct result of economic decline and poverty."
The Department of Education's chief financial officer reported that the district has been flat-funded for four years, despite rising costs and the expiration of millions of dollars in grants. The district faces a deficit of about $2 million and the possible loss of 60 of its 427 staff members. In 2008, the district's per-pupil funding was just below the others in its (the poorest) comparison group, called District Reference Group I. Now, its per-pupil funding is $900 below DRG I.
Given New London's severe lack of resources, it is a wonder the district's scores did not drop precipitously. In spite of these obstacles, the district has been able to maintain a steady level of achievement the past few years.
Astoundingly, this stable achievement level was the commissioner's pretext for the takeover. Declaring that there has not been a clear positive trajectory of improvement, the commissioner called for the appointment of a special master.
The special master's powers are far reaching, including reassigning teachers and principals, reconstituting schools, directing the board how to spend its money and other powers of a superintendent and board of education.
Unlike the school board, which is elected by and answers to the people, the special master answers to no one in New London.
There is no evidence that state takeovers, characterized by excessive focus on test scores and autocratic top-down rule, close achievement gaps. Focusing only on the symptom, the state's "remedy" fails to address the underlying problem in New London. It is a starved school system.
Like New London, Bridgeport is in financial distress. The school district is recognized as among the most unfairly funded districts in the nation. The state owes Bridgeport's district millions of dollars. As a result, Bridgeport's schools cannot afford substitutes, so classes are routinely split up and students deposited in different classrooms for days; there are rodent infestations; and they suffer from a lack of books and other learning resources.
Instead of addressing these heartbreaking needs, the state illegally took over the elected board of education in July 2011. In fall 2011, the commissioner, the illegal board and city officials schemed to have the state offer the district a small loan in exchange for stripping the future legitimate school board of the right to name its next superintendent. The legislature passed the law authorizing the loan in an emergency session, with next to no public awareness.
Last week, the board improperly noticed a meeting, offering the public little chance to attend, to extend the current superintendent's contract and approve the "extortionist" loan, as a Bridgeport resident described it. Bridgeport is the poster child for trampling the democratic rights of the poor.
Thomas Jefferson wrote, "every government degenerates when trusted to the rulers of the people alone." By usurping the powers of elected school boards, rather than giving our poorest schools the help they need, Connecticut's leaders are not only dooming public education; they are also destroying the foundation of our democracy.

One of the core functions of ZBrush has always been to provide artists the ability to create in an environment that allows for complete freedom of expression. This lack of technical barriers makes working within ZBrush feel like real-world sculpting and painting. It is a significant part of why so many artists have created ground-breaking work using ZBrush.
With GoZ™ there is no need to invest time in setting up shading networks for your normal, displacement, and texture maps. With a single click of a button, GoZ™ will transfer your mesh to a GoZ™-enabled application of your choice and instantly set up all the appropriate shading networks for you. Upon sending your mesh back to ZBrush, GoZ™ will automatically remap the existing high-resolution details to the incoming mesh, even if you've significantly changed the topology in your other application! GoZ™ will take care of simple operations such as correcting points & polygons order, as well as more advanced operations that require complete remapping. The updated mesh is immediately ready for further detailing, map creation and transferring to any other GoZ™-enabled application.
GoZ™ is based on core features of ZBrush. This means that you can even use the ZBrush portion of GoZ's™ features in non-supported applications. You can import an OBJ file which includes topology changes and ZBrush will automatically updating your current sculpture without losing details.
GoZ™ also supports the transfer of multiple Tools and/or SubTools between ZBrush and its target applications. Rather than focusing on the import and export process, you are free to focus on your art!
The following GoZ enabled applications are supported for the most recent released version of ZBrush.

The legendary Elvis Presley wisely stated, "Sad thing is, you can still love someone and be wrong for them." This adage perfectly portrays the plot of the rock and roll musical All Shook Up hits the Hope Summer Repertory Theatre stage beginning June 21.
Inspired by the legendary songs of Elvis Presley® such as Heartbreak Hotel, Love Me Tender, Don't Be Cruel, Can't Help Falling in Love, and, of course, the title tune, All Shook Up. Secret crushes and fiery passion are awakened in a small town when a mysterious leather-jacketed, guitar-playing stranger arrives to spread the magic of romance and the power of rock & roll. Inspired by and featuring the songs of Elvis Presley® with the book by Joe DiPietro, All Shook Up runs at the DeWitt Theatre (141 E. 12th Street) at 8:00 pm on June 21, 22, 28, July 10, 11, 17, 22, 25, 30, and August 2, 7, 10.
The musical centers around the romantic misadventures of Natalie, a young mechanic stuck in middle America searching for love and adventure. When Chad, a mysterious roustabout, drives into town on his motorcycle, Natalie is immediately smitten. However, the course of love never does run smooth as Natalie attempts to win the affections of her rebellious heartthrob. Although whirlwind romances and deception sweep the town into frenzy, true love ultimately emerges for all.
Playing the role of Natalie is Grace Stockdale (Oro Valley, AZ), a current senior BFA Musical Theatre Major from Ithaca College who is making her HSRT debut. Also making his debut is her leading man Joseph Bigelow (Minneapolis, MN), a recent graduate of the University of Minnesota/Guthrie BFA Actor Training Program.

Hello beauties! I need your advice. I had placental abruption in the past. Doctors had to remove fetus along with the uterus. We were ttc for 6 years before I've got pregnant. We had so much hope that finally we'll become parents! We've lost our baby on 7th month of pregnancy. Also I've lost my fertility and there no chance for us to conceive any more. 2 years had already past but we didn't recover from our loss yet. Is it even possible to forget such pain?
We are looking into surrogacy. To be honest, I'm not sure if we can think about it. I feel like I'm betraying my child… My husband says it will help us to keep living and stop our suffering. Maybe he's right… I deepen myself into search and try not to think about my pain. I hope you'll help me to clear surrogacy process.
I read many comments here. Some of you, girls, chose Europe, some of you chose America. I'm lost and I have no idea which of these variants will suit us. We are from Finland so there is no way for us to have this procedure here. I'm more into USA. Prices for surrogacy are very high there. But I think that's not without purpose. This fact shows that there is high guarantee of success, am I right? They ask for such high price because they know what to do and how gain good result. We don't have $150 000 to pay right away. I think we'll have to take a loan. We have no one to borrow this money. I think this is not so great sacrifice for our goal, right? My husband says it's better to go to Europe. Prices are much lower and services are the same. But I think if prices are small than possibility of procedure to be successful is small as well.

In order to label the Golgi domain in mammalian cells with immunofluorescent probes, a candidate protein residing somewhere in the complex must be identified and targeted with a primary mono or polyclonal antibody. Giantin is a membrane-bound glycoprotein, which is resident in the cis and medial Golgi regions, and contains an elongated rod-like cytoplasmic domain that is at least 350 kiloDaltons in size. This highly conserved protein may be involved in intercisternal cross-bridge structures that are suspected to play a role in Golgi cisternae stacking. Polyclonal antibodies raised against the N-terminal 469 peptide residues of giantin react with a number of mammalian species, and monoclonal antibodies have been produced that detect the protein in avians, as well.
The culture of Madin-Darby canine kidney epithelial cells appearing in the digital image above was fixed with paraformaldehyde, permeabilized, and treated with a mixture of rabbit (anti-giantin) and mouse (anti-histones; pan) primary antibodies, followed by secondary antibodies conjugated to Alexa Fluor 488 and Texas Red, respectively. The secondary antibody cocktail also contained Alexa Fluor 350 conjugated to phalloidin, designed to simultaneously target the filamentous actin network. Images were recorded in grayscale with a QImaging Retiga Fast-EXi camera system coupled to an Olympus BX-51 microscope equipped with bandpass emission fluorescence filter optical blocks provided by Omega Optical. During the processing stage, individual image channels were pseudocolored with RGB values corresponding to each of the fluorophore emission spectral profiles.

I purchase two pay-per-views a year: The WWE Royal Rumble and Wrestlemania. And Wrestlemania is UPON US!
I think this year's Wrestlemania has a lot to offer. Let's dig in.
The Rock vs. John Cena
I see John Cena winning here. I'm not his biggest fan, but I just don't think they'll have Rock come back WITHOUT putting over whoever he was going to face. This match has a lot of spark. Insiders are saying that there is legit tension between the two. It there really? Maybe. But both of these guys are doing there best to make me BELIEVE it, which is the most important part.
Bottom line: Cena pins The Rock. If he makes The Rock tap out I'll shit my pants.
Extra fun: Bret Hart mentioned on Twitter that he would happily show The Rock how to properly apply The Sharpshooter. Even back in the late '90s and early 2000s my friends and I lamented how poorly Dwayne puts that on.
The Undertaker vs. Triple H
- Hell in a Cell
- Shawn Michaels as special referee
This is the match that I'm most confident about on the card. The Undertaker will win this match. I'll go further and say that I don't believe Shawn Michaels will "screw" anybody out of a victory or anything like that.
It's disappointing to hear so many people say, "Oh, I don't want to see that match again. I saw it twice already."
They had a match at Wrestlemania 17. AND IT WAS AWESOME.
They had a match least year. AND IT WAS AWESOME.
Were they Flair / Steamboat (who had wrestled hundreds of times and still had great matches which internet nerds salivate over)? No. But they have their own style of match that features two bad-ass wrestlers that nobody would fuck with and have the audience wondering what's going to happen next.
CM Punk vs. Chris Jericho
* WWE Championship match
This shit is gonna' rule. My guess is that Punk retains the championship (my confidence level is 75 percent). But you've got these two guys who really know how to work a crowd. Personally I'm more excited about this match than anything else on the card. The thing is that I kind of want Jericho to win just to ensure that this feud continues. But again – my guess is that Punk wins decisively.
Daniel Bryan vs. Sheamus
- World Heavyweight Championship match
I think that this will also be a great match. I predict Sheamus will take the championship (85 percent). I would LOVE it if Bryan kept the title but don't see it happening on Sunday. Bryan is SO GOOD playing the evil vegan and AJ is playing her "Miss Elizabeth" role quite well. Maybe if I'm lucky, Daniel will win the title back at the next pay-per-view.
Cody Rhodes vs. The Big Show
- Intercontinental Championship match
I'm just happy that the IC title is being defended at Wrestlemania! This hasn't been a given the last few years. Cody's doing a great job as the jerk, and I think the audience will really want Big Show to bring the belt home. I'm guessing that Big Show will do that, but am only about 65 percent sure.
Randy Orton vs. Kane
Aw, man… I really don't think that this match will be good. Orton vs. Punk had a great finish last year, but Kane is no CM Punk. I guess that Randy will win, and I will want this to be over quickly so as not to irritate my non-wrestling fans who will be at the house with boredom.
I beg these two to prove me wrong.
Team Teddy [Santino Marella, R-Truth, Kofi Kingston, Zack Ryder, The Great Khali, and Booker T] VS
Team Johnny [David Otunga, Mark Henry, Dolph Ziggler, Jack Swagger, The Miz, and Drew McIntyre]
A lot of people are whining about this match. The way I see it, if they're not going to have a Money in the Bank match (which I would FAR prefer), this is the next best way for some of the guys to get on the card. Battle Royals have kind of been done to death and at least this match kind of means something.
Even without my qualifiying statements above, I think this should still be fun. I absolutely love Santino, Kofi's great, Zack should be fun, I love Booker, Ziggler's friggin' awesome, I think Swagger is underrated and should be pushed better, and I still haven't stopped digging The Miz since before he won the WWE championship. I'm happy Mark Henry has a spot.
[For those of you keeping track, R-Truth, The Great Khali, David Otunga and Drew McIntyre are people that I really wouldn't pay to see.]
My guess here is that Team Johnny will win. I look over my predictions and see that I'm calling most matches for the "good" guy (although I do consider Rock, Cena, Taker and Trips to be neutral). Bad guys have to win SOMEWHERE and this seems to be as good a place as ever.
Maria Menounos and Kelly Kelly vs. Beth Phoenix and Eve Torres
One wrestler and three airheads, one of which is allegedly a celebrity. My prediction on this is that I will use the restroom and likely grab a snack.
And that's all that's been announced as of now, but there are other things to consider:
** Will Triple H come out to his Conan the Barbarian costume?
** Could Living Colour play CM Punk's theme live on his way out? (There have been no rumors to suggest this but I think it'd be awesome)
** Will Jim Ross call any matches? Cuz he SHOULD.
** What surprise WWE Legends will show up? We need to see Hot Rod somewhere, don't we? Or the Iron Sheik? They need to start promoting Legends House, right?
Sunday, April 1st on Pay Per View

I am continuing my journey back through the 90s that I started a couple of years ago. I compiled my top ten albums of the first part of the 90s. In case you missed those you can check them out here. I am now moving on to film and listing my top ten films of each year of the 90s. I will be of course starting with 1990. Since it is the 25th anniversary of 1990! I know it is hard to believe. The 90s is still my favorite decade for music and for film. Although the 80s is really hard to compete with. But a film I loved when I was ten or 12 in the 80s is much different than a film I loved when I was 18 or 20 in the 90s. I really grew up in the 80s. But my high school and college years were in the 90s. 90s films just became a bit more serious for me. Or at least I took film more seriously. Sort of. These were the years I discovered foreign film. The years I discovered the genius of David Lynch and John Waters. I of course loved movies in the 80s but the 90s are when I really fell in love with film and started to understand film and the vision of a director. When I started to really pay attention to editing and cinematography and scores. There were of course some absolutely horrible movies in the 90s. You might even think some of the movies on my list are some of your least favorite!
This is a list of my specific ten films of the year that I love the most. I don't claim for these to be the ten best films of that year. And they certainly are not your favorite films of the year. The great thing about movies is that we all connect differently to different movies. It would be very rare to find two people with the exact same list of ten films from any given year. These are the movies that I have owned on VHS and DVD and Blu-ray. The movies that I have watched over and over again. The movies that I would go see again in the theater if I ever had a chance. These are the movies that make me happy. The movies that make me cry. The movies that I have probably watched too many times already. But if they were on TV I would not be able to resist watching them again. If I ever feel depressed or sad these are the movies that I can turn to knowing they will make me feel better. I really can't even imagine my life or life in general without these movies.
