A website is considered to be "not safe" when Google identifies the content of the site to be explicit. As a result, such sites will typically be banned by Google. This is even more likely if the sites have poor SEO and link building. The problem comes from the fact that Google might actually enact a ban on a whole IP address rather just a website, leading all the sites hosted by that IP to be banned as well, even if content is not explicit. That's why it's important to know if any explicit websites are also hosted on o-44.com's server.

(A few words of explanation: Because of NBC's production arrangement with DirecTV, I wrote about this season of Friday Night Lights back in the fall. I'm now reposting last fall's pieces each week as the episodes air on NBC. So now, you know. No spoilers, please, if you've already seen the season. Enjoy.)
Greetings, Friday Night Light fans, and welcome to the TV Club's coverage of the show's final season. Take a moment to control yourself. Try to manage a "Clear eyes, full hearts" chant through your tears. I'm sorry it's going away too, but no show lasts forever—except The Simpsons, apparently—and we still have one last season in front of us.
Having said that, I suspect it's a season that will frequently be reminding, in one way or another, that the show is reaching an end. This first outing, with its Landry-and-Julie leave home subplots, certainly dwelt heavily on departures and transitions. I'm sure we've seen the last of neither of them, but it's worth noting that only Aimee Teegarden remains a part of the regular cast. And with Landry goes the last of the original cast of football players and even he didn't begin on the team. We're now fully transitioned into the Friday Night Lights: The New Class era of the show's existence.
It's also about to get some even more unfamiliar faces, but before we usher in the new, let's see out the old. Again, they'll be back, but both Julie and Landry get understated send-offs this week. Landry does a tour of his old haunts, including a nice visit to Matt's grandmother, and sees out Crucifictorious with a sparsely attended last waltz show. The band sounds, as ever, merely adequate, but it's nice that they get a goodbye.
Crucifictorious rarely found much common musical ground. They always sounded like the sort of band that happens when the only music geeks in a town short on music geeks get together. And that's the thing about leaving high school: Sometimes you find that your friendships have more to do with living in the same place than anything else. Other times, you discover you have little in common beyond a mutual friendship. That seems to be the case with Julie and Landry, who are left with little to talk about beyond the absent Matt Saracen. That may be why Julie offers the seemingly out-of-character suggestion that they hit The Landing Strip, Dillon's remarkably chaste strip club (and one that never seems overly concerned about admitting minors). It's one way to get him to shut up.
Absent from Landry's goodbye tour: Jess, who's now in a steady relationship with Vince. And why not? He seems devoted to her, it's easy to gather they have a good time doing "laundry" together, and he's good with her siblings. It's that last trait that might matter most now that she's become largely responsible now that her dad's out starting franchises of his barbecue stand.
That development seems a bit of a stretch as a way to explain Jess's father's absence, but absent parents look to be a theme this year. (And his barbecue always did look delicious.) Becky finds herself motherless again, and with a stepmother—step live-in, I guess—who seems beyond uninterested in having her around. In fact, she's openly hostile and prone to tell lies about Becky. And frankly, hasn't Becky had enough trouble in her life lately? Is it any wonder she decamps to Billy Riggins home by episode's end?
A couple of seasons ago it would speak volumes about the desperation of any character who looked to the Riggins home for domestic stability, but times have changed a bit. Thanks to Tim's Sidney Carton act—a choice that's left him frustrated if not embittered, as evidenced by this episode's opening scene—Riggins' Rigs has stabilized and Billy has been able to establish a nice home for himself. He's even thinking of giving back by taking up coaching, even if Tim rebuffs the notion that he was ever "like a coach" to him. ("Coach was my coach." Ouch.)
I wouldn't have expected the show to focus so much on Billy, but it's not an unwelcome shift. Derek Phillips has quietly developed the character over the years and it makes sense to want to explore how a guy like Billy would respond both to fatherhood and the major sacrifice his brother made for him. Can he ever give back enough?
On the subject of giving back, Tami's quickly discovering that her good intentions will only get her so far in her new position as East Dillon's guidance counselor, a school that badly needs someone to look after their more troubled students. (Did I hear correctly? Is the bad girl about which everyone complains named "Epic"?)
We've now apparently left West Dillon behind for good and now, in the second season of East Dillon's existence, it feels a little more like a real place than a writerly convenience. It seems more solid, more lived in, and the new characters introduced last season as much a part of the fabric of the show as the old familiar faces. Luke didn't have all that much to do beyond host a party and aid in Coach and Buddy's scheme to bring basketball star Hastings over to the football side, but it was good to see him again. So I have little doubt that Hastings, the "hippie" b-ball fan will have fit in nicely too, even if I'm not sure what ultimately sold him on joining the team. Was it the taunts? Was it the undercurrents of sexual tension with Jess? Maybe we'll find out in time.
That's a lot of plot summary—more than I like to include in my TV Club entries—but I'm not sure there's any other way to deal with this episode, which does a lot of table-setting for the season to come, but not that many individual moments in need of unpacking. That's probably unavoidable with this season's premiere, which has to establish a lot of players right away. So while I would have hoped for an episode with a few more of the remarkable moments I've come to expect from the show, I trust they'll come later.
Not that it was without them entirely, like the moment when Coach just pauses to take in some family banter knowing that the family dynamic, and all the familiar routines built around it, will change profoundly with Julie's departure for college. Julie doesn't want to make a big deal of it but, of course, it is a big deal, maybe a bigger deal than she realizes now. Sure, she's just moving up the road, and sure she can always come home. But she crosses a line that separates her past from her future the moment she rolls out of that driveway. Coach knows it. Tami knows it. And when she says, "Bye guys," I think Julie knows it too. Then, in its usual, quiet way, the show pauses to let us soak it in before rolling credits. This season may be about saying goodbyes, but for now I'm just happy to have Friday Night Lights back.

Students engaged in a rich open ended task that had them working as a 'Mars Confectionary Executive' where they were asked to work in teams and create an M&M bag. Students had to think about how many M&Ms were in each bag, What colour break up there was, how could the M&M bag be represented mathematically, how could the data be collected and what is the probability of selecting a specific colour?
Students were also encouraged to prove their thinking.

A question came up at work today that I've had to stop and remind myself numerous times and I'm sure other people have to think about on occasion. When merging changes from a branch back to an origin, should I pull them from branch into origin or push them from branch to origin. The difference in CVS would be... do I check out the origin and merge the deltas of the branch into working copy or check out the branch and somehow push those changes onto the trunk.
In short, always pull changes into a clean local copy that represents where the destination of the merge should be. It really doesn't matter which Revision Control System you use, this will almost always be the safest way to merge (assuming it supports a local copy).
I say this for one very important reason, you MUST be able to resolve conflicts before committing changes to the central repository, pushing doesn't necessarily allow you to do that unless the tools supports something like Multi Version Concurrency Control on a single revision (*and I'm not aware of any systems that do this right now).

June from JuneBug's World has a really cute finish to share with us from the Pick a Bunch line (which I love!). The rainbow colors are just too cute!! Make sure to see June's Etsy where she sells ridiculously cute (and affordable) clutches. This is my favorite. Also see her blog for some fun projects and a good read...I love her post on her daughter's secret lunch money pocket and her darling kite boy pillow finish! Okay, another yummy quilt to see!
You know I'm true to my word. I'm nothing if not good with follow through - I finished the Pick A Bunch quilt!
I peiced the front with alternating strips of the jelly roll of fabric and strips of white fabric. The back is a peiced sheet with a few half square triangle pinwheels randomly placed, and the binding is some kind of dark brown Kona cotton (espresso?). I did the same as with my Pips quilt and stitched on the binding with one of my sewing machine's decorative stitches.
I love this quilt - I made it just for me. Just because I loved the fabric line. And there are things I would do differently (namely, not really ever interested in stitch in the ditch anymore) but overall I really like the way the quilt looks.
Oh and what's a good quilt until it's put to good use?

Amidst an otherworldly landscape, you'll travel among salt lakes and hot springs, volcanoes and lush oasis in the highest and driest desert in the world. Red snow-capped volcanoes merge with pastel colored desert expanses that are interrupted only by the outlines of the hills, salt formations, and giant dunes. Hike among sand dunes and bizarre rock formations of the Valley of the Moon, observe flamingos and experience extra buoyancy in the saline lagoons of the Atacama, mountain bike desert trails through red-rock canyons, walk among the ruins of ancient pre-Columbian villages, watch the daily eruption of the Tatio geysers and photograph the ever-changing colors of the amazing scenery. Time your visit to coincide with a New Moon and you'll have the chance to observe some of the clearest and most brilliant night skies in the Southern Hemisphere.
We work with a selection of three unique properties that each offer an all-inclusive experience in the Atacama Desert. Stays range from 3-5 nights (or more upon request) and the character, location, and excursions differ slightly from lodge to lodge. Detailed pricing and links to the accommodations are found under the accommodations tab.
Day 1: Arrive in Santiago - Fly to Atacama Desert
Morning arrival into Santiago via your international flight or onward connection within Chile. After clearing customs and collecting luggage, check in with your LAN flight to Calama. Upon arrival airport reception by lodge staff and transfer to the hotel. Participation in an afternoon excursion is dependent upon flight arrival time. Otherwise relax and refresh, enjoy dinner and overnight at the lodge of your choice. One of the guides will discuss the various excursions you can select over the next few days. At Explora Hotel de Lareche and Alto Atacama, excursions are generally conducted in small groups and half and full-day options are available at various activity levels. Awasi Lodge provides private guides who customize each day for you personally.
The northern skies of Chile are famous for being some of the clearest in the world. The combination of an extremely dry climate, high altitude and the distance from any source of environmental or light pollution makes them a perfect and clear window into the Universe. Consider partaking in an astronomy tour one evening – an hour in length and offered ever night except during the week of the full moon.
Days 2 - 5: Atacama Desert Explorations
Four full days of exploring the fascinating Atacama geology, fauna and culture. Choose from a variety of excursions, catering to different interests and activity levels. Visit the high mountain-village of Chiu-Chiu, trek across expansive salt flats, observe the incredible Taito Geysers, hunt for petroglyphs along sandstone cliffs, float in saline lagoons and enjoy an easy mountain bike ride through the Katarpe Valley. The Valley of the Moon offers some of the best hiking and most dramatic scenery in the Atacama. Day ventures to Laguna Chaxa include a visit to the Reserva Nacional los Flamencos, excellent for observing flamingos and other birds. Extreme adventure enthusiasts can attempt to climb some of the Atacama's five major volcanoes, ranging from 17,300-19,712' (acclimatization days are required.) Mountaineering and some other excursions into the Andes have an acclimatization requirement so be sure to liaise directly with your guides to plan your time accordingly. Explora Lodge has several explorations that include horseback riding.
Alto Atacama, located in a protected canyon outside of San Pedro de Atacama, also offers complimentary transport into the town of San Pedro between 8:30 – 23:30 if you want to explore on your own one evening. Continued overnights at Atacama Desert Lodging.
Day 6: Departure
After breakfast, transfer to the Calama airport for your afternoon flight to Santiago for international departure or onward travel.
Alto Atacama Pricing
Explora Lodge Atacama Pricing
Awasi Lodge and Spa
Rectangular Suite
Round Room
Fly from Buenos Aires to Iguazú Falls, a place of supernatural beauty with 275 separate waterfalls located within a two-mile stretch, some plunging from a spectacular height of 260 feet. With your naturalist guide by your side, spend your days hiking miles of lush trails and learning about the rainforest's ecosystems and resident animals – watch for butterflies, monkeys, caiman and a variety of birds, such as parrots, toucans and hummingbirds. Overnights are in a falls-view room at the Sheraton Iguazú Resort and Spa, located right inside the National Park.
Price: 3 days/2 nights at $995 per person based on two people sharing accommodations.
Flights to Iguazu not included.
Arrive in Iguazú Falls where you'll be met and taken to your hotel. The Sheraton Iguazu is located inside the National Park, giving you the opportunity to spend this afternoon on your own viewing the falls. Walk on the extensive trail system that features numerous view points of the Falls. Overnight in a Falls View Room and dinner at the Sheraton Iguazu Resort and Spa. [BD]
Today we explore the tropical rain forests and multiple waterfalls of Iguazú National Park with a naturalist guide. Iguazú Falls consists of 275 separate waterfalls along a nearly two mile long fall line along the Iguazú River on the border between Argentina and Brazil. Spectacular falls plunge 260 feet in a thunderous roar of mist and rainbows among giant ferns, vines and orchids. Today will be our introduction to the rainforest ecosystem full of butterflies, monkeys, caiman, peccary, deer and abundant birdlife especially parrots, toucans, hummingbirds and guan. There are miles of trails, a train to the Devil's Throat overlook, walkways with foot bridges, and a boat crossing to more trails, all providing strategic access for unlimited photographic viewpoints.
Ideally situated in the heart of the Iguazú National Park, Sheraton Iguazú Resort & Spa combines a beautiful landscape with friendly service and comfort. Located within walking distance of the spectacular Iguazú Falls, many of the 176 guest rooms have views of the Falls themselves. For a relaxing start or end to the day, try out the new spa.

Rocker Gavin Rossdale and his wife Gwen Stefani sent fans into a frenzy on Saturday as the No Doubt singer joined her husband onstage at the same Los Angeles event they met at 17 years ago.
Bush frontman Rossdale was performing solo on a rendition of hit song "Glycerine" on the first night of the 23rd Annual Almost Acoustic Christmas show at the Gibson Amphitheatre, but instead of having his bandmates come back out for the second verse of the track, he invited Stefani to collaborate with him instead.
The married musicians shared a quick kiss after the duet, and an eyewitness tells People.com, "The place went crazy… They haven't done it in at least a decade. They thought it would be fun."
Rossdale and Stefani met at radio station KROQ's big holiday gig in 1995, when both bands were on the bill. No Doubt went on to tour with Bush, and the couple then fell in love and married in 2002.
Saturday's line-up also included sets from Garbage, The Gaslight Anthem, Two Door Cinema Club and headliners Linkin Park, while Sunday night's show is headed up by The Killers with Jack White, fun., M83, Passion Pit and Neon Trees.

Modern replacement for treadle vac booster/master cylinder
I have owned several 1957/58 Mercury's with the Bendix Treadle Vac brake booster. I constantly have problems with them. Presently my 1957 Monterey booster/master cylinder is out. Pedal goes to floor. It is full of brake fluid. I have searched for a modern replacement but those found say they will not fit a 1957 with 312 V8 and original exhaust manifolds which my car has. Does anyone know where I can buy one that will fit? Thanks...Mike

Gladstone Grow Op / Karen Abel + Jessica Marion Barr / Vernal Pool
A participatory art project about place + precipitation
Karen Abel is a Toronto artist and naturalist interested in contributing to a culture of ecology through research-intensive, season and time-based practices. Jessica Marion Barr is a Toronto artist and educator. Her interdisciplinary practice incorporates artmaking, research, and pedagogy, focusing on ecological elegies.
Referencing ephemeral wetland ecosystems formed by melting snow and rainwater in springtime, Vernal Pool is an immersive, elemental installation of snowmelt gathered by participants from across Canada and abroad as a form of extrinsic artistic practice about place and precipitation. Like a confluence of thawing tributaries meandering to common ground, snow samples referencing geographically and perceptively distinct chronicles of one winter condense and meditatively pause at a seasonal meeting place, forming a temporary body of water – a kind of anthropological precipitation map – in a gallery space.
On April 27, we invite visitors to take some snowmelt to water local gardens and greenspaces.
GROW OP will be on public display at the Gladstone April 24 – 27, 2014
Curated by Victoria Taylor, and featuring 26 new projects, Grow Op 2014 is the Gladstone Hotel's annual alternative landscape and urban design event, celebrating innovative ideas and conceptual responses to sustainable placemaking across a broad range of creative practices.
For press and media inquiries please contact the Gladstone Hotel's Managing Director – Artistic Projects, Britt Welter-Nolan

Yale, Cornell Meet At 1 p.m.
- Live Stats
- Yale All-Access Video
- Cornell Soccer Site
- Ivy League Standings
- WTNH News 8 New Haven Weather
NEW HAVEN, Conn. – Two of the hottest teams in the Ivy League will meet on Saturday when Cornell visits Yale. Both the Big Red and Bulldogs are 2-0 in Ivy play, so sole possession of first place is at stake. Kickoff on Youth Day at Reese Stadium is slated for 1 p.m.
Yale (6-4-1 overall) has won three of its last four games, and the only loss came when No. 1 ranked UConn scored with a minute left in double overtime. The Bulldogs haven't allowed a goal in either of their first two Ivy games.
Nick Alers played a key role in helping to keep Dartmouth off the board in last Saturday's 2-0 win over Dartmouth. Alers, who was named to the Ivy League Honor Roll on Monday, spent much of the game marking Lucky Mkosana, the Big Green's leading scorer who entered the game with seven goals. Mkosana was held to just two shots. Marcus DiLallo also played a big part in the defensive effort.
Offensively, the Bulldogs continued to get contributions from a number of different players. Yale's three goals in Ivy games have come from three different players – seniors Chris Dennen, Charlie Paris and Charlie Neil.
Cornell (7-1-3) hasn't lost since dropping a 3-1 decision to Niagara in the season opener on Sept. 2. The Big Red has outscored its opponents 19-7. Daniel Haber leads the team with six goals and 16 points. Goalkeeper Rick Pflasterer has started all 11 games and has a 0.61 goals against average.
Cornell blanked Penn 1-0 in its Ivy opener and then topped Harvard 3-1 last Saturday.
Yale has won the last three meetings with the Big Red, including a 1-0 decision in Ithaca, N.Y., last year.

Central Battery System from R.STAHL (WFZB)
Do you have multiple emergency lighting fixtures in your factory? R.STAHL has the solution for you! A central battery system, for an efficient en cost-effective maintenance programme. The central battery system (series WFZB) is already profitable, using more than 12 lighting fixtures. This is a great way to simplify your maintenance activities significantly and save on your maintenance costs.
The central battery system (series WFZB) prevents a maintenance engineer checking all lighting fixtures individually every 2 years to replace the battery. R.STAHL's solution with the central battery system is easy accessible for the maintenance engineer, as all batteries are installed in one cabinet. Batteries can be exchanged quickly and efficiently. More than 600 lighting points can be maintained and programmed from one location.
The central unit
Initially, to Install a central battery system, more time will be needed to connect all the lighting fixtures to the central unit and additionally 1 day of commissioning will be required. However, for the future, the annual maintenance costs will be reduced significantly when compared to a conventional system.
To ensure the correct operation of the central battery system, 3 parameters will be monitored closely: the ambient temperature, the temperature inside the cabinet and the temperature within the battery compartments.
A so-called 'address module' enables an operator to switch the lights. Several monitoring and test options are available for the central unit. Also individually for the address modules, to monitor a correct operation of the unit and the lighting fixtures. To ensure immediate action in case potential errors or malfunctioning are indicated, the GRPS or SMS networks can be effectively used.
The cabinet for the central battery system is taylormade to ensure a flexible and versatile installation. The cabinet will be placed in a non-hazardous (non-Ex) environment and can be used for lighting fixtures installed in a safe or hazardous area.

Will Look to Build on Ivy League Championship Win
NEW HAVEN, Conn. – After claiming the Ivy League Championship on Apr. 23, the Yale men's golf team will look to go one better as it competes in the May 19-21 NCAA Virginia Tech Regional at the Pete Dye-designed River Course in Blacksburg, Va.
The Bulldogs secured an automatic berth at the NCAA Regional as a result of its Ivy League Championship victory, and found out the location of its tournament after the May 9 draw. At Blacksburg, Yale will have to fend off tough competition from schools including Georgia Tech, LSU, Duke and Oklahoma.
"With Georgia Tech, LSU, Duke and Virginia, among others, this is a chance for us to compete against some of the finest teams in college golf," said head coach Colin Sheehan '97. "We can only wish to play our best and I'm certain the team will play with the very same resolve that led to the regular season ending on such a high note."
Though the Elis are seeded 13th based on season and conference play, their performance this season certainly suggests a good chance of a strong performance at the NCAA Regional. They took out the Princeton Invitational and Ivy League Championship, and individual golfers have performed to the highest level throughout the season.
Led by senior captain Thomas McCarthy, and ably supported by freshman Sam Bernstein and junior Jeffrey Hatten, who was recently elected to be next year's captain, the team has many good performances under its belt coming into Thursday's competition. Also likely to figure high up on the leaderboard is sophomore Bradley Kushner, who notched up a first-team All-Ivy performance at the Ivy League Championship and will be looking to repeat such a result on Thursday.
Still, the Bulldogs will have to play out the tough Pete Dye-designed River Course, which features spectacular views of the nearby river that may distract golfers from the tough bunkers, small elevated greens and numerous collection points dotted around the course. There is no doubt the course is worthy of the NCAA tournament: it was rated four and a half stars by Golf Digest's "Best Places to Play," and came in 18th on Golfweek's Best Campus Courses in America.
"Measuring nearly 7,700 yards, the Pete Dye River Course at Virginia Tech is one of the longest golf courses in the country, but I don't think our team will be daunted by the challenge," Sheehan said. "This team is accustomed to competing in adverse conditions."
If the Bulldogs place in the top five teams at the tournament, they will advance to the May 31-June 5 NCAA Championship at Karsten Creek Golf Course in Stillwater, Okla.

* Can You See What I See? Toyland Express! Book Review and Giveaway
The girls and I love our collection of Walter Wick "I Spy"
and "Can You See What I See?" books.
"E" frequently reads her I Spy books as a way to wind down at bedtime.
We were thrilled when our friends at Scholastic books and Walter Wick's office contacted
us to review his latest and greatest book,
"Can You See What I See? Toyland Express!"
In Mr. Wick's eigth title in his bestselling search and find series,
we follow the life story of a little toy train from it's beginning in a workshop,
as a gift from a toy store, to a beloved toy and finally to the attic,
only to be rescued at a yard sale and brought to life again in a new home.
There are over 250 hidden objects to find as the train transforms along it's journey.
"E" has always wondered how Mr. Wick makes his book
and really enjoyed watching this behind the scenes video.
You may recall that we've tried to make our own "I Spy" books and photo shoots.
"E" (age 8) and "C" (age 4) really enjoyed this book and some of the
hidden objects really challenged them (as well as their parents)!
"E"s Grandpa D came over for Christmas and enjoyed the challenge of
searching and finding the hidden objects in the book as well.
So much so, that the girls are making him his own,
homemade "I Spy" search and find book for his birthday this weekend.
(Shh... don't tell, it's a surprise!)
and...I have a surprise for you, my lovely readers, as well!
Two (2) of my (continental US) readers from my blog will receive:
* Copy of "Can You See What I See? Toyland Express!"
* 5 Additional book titles from the "Can You See What I See?" series.
Look carefully, my "comments" section is tiny
(and I don't know how to make it bigger)
just think of it as a little Pink and Green Mama blog search and find!
This giveaway is now closed. Winners will be contacted via email.

All opinions expressed are my own, my family and I received a copy of
Walter Wick's book, "Toyland Express" to write this review.
We did not receive any additional financial compensation.

* Toilet Paper Tube Craft: Homemade Angry Birds!
So this year, daddy's favorite gift was his set of toilet paper tube Angry Birds
that "E" (age 8.5) made for him with cut paper at Grandma and Grandpa's house a few weeks ago.
She and "C" did a great job keeping it secret and could not wait for daddy to open his present!
I had not seen them yet either and I was blown away.
Wowzers!! "E" did a fantastic job making these and I think
they look just like the characters from Angry Birds!
Daddy can't wait to bring them into the office to display proudly on his desk.
Here are some close up shots so you can see the details.
She covered cut down toilet paper tubes with colored paper
then cut and glued all of the tiny face details with bits of colored paper and a few
permanent marker details for things like eyebrows.
I think her inspiration for this craft came from "Pinterest"
and she saw the painted TP tube angry bird set
Hope you all had a wonderful holiday and shared some homemade gift love too!

* Christmas 2011 Highlights From the Pink and Green Mama Household
I thought I'd spend this rainy, gray morning sharing a few favorite
Christmas weekend highlights from our family to yours.
On Christmas Eve, the girls made birdseed ornaments,
(the ones that have been ALL over Pinterest) with gelatin and corn syrup.
Can you tell what "E" thought of the smell? Hee-hee!
This little Etsy treasure was a gifty from my sweet hubby.
He gets me. Mama's coffee is very cozy now.
The girls painted a few of these sweet little wooden birdie ornaments
for our tree, here's my little blue bird friend painted by "E." So friendly.
This was "C"s preschool gift to mommy and daddy, of course she wrapped it in pink!
Love the little fingerprint ornaments on the homemade card.
There were lots of fun homemade gifts this year.
Daddy enjoying his first back rub in his homemade back rub shirt from the girls!
"E" made these awesome toilet paper tube angry birds for her daddy,
all by herself - I'll post details later.
I made wooden fire and water stacker puzzles for the girls.
Snuggling my sweeties on Christmas morning in our PJs.
"E" and Daddy assembling Lego Hogwarts.
Afternoon shadows in the playroom window.
Grandma and Grandpa spent the afternoon and evening with us,
so we decided to use my camera's timer to take a classy family portrait.
Wishing you a happy holiday season from our family to yours!

* Easy Holiday Kid Craft: Felt Candy Cane Mice
I remember making these felt candy cane mice once as a little girl
and when I saw them in Family Fun and on Martha Stewart Crafts
I knew they were the perfect Christmastime craft for my girls!
(My mom made even them with her garden club friends for their holiday party this year.)
We made a couple of felt candy cane mice last week
for "C"s preschool teachers as gifts and for a trial run.
Then "E" wanted to make them as gifts for her third grade classmates.
Umm.... okay, 30 more felt candy cane mice coming up!
So, mama got busy cutting out felt mice "parts"
using the template from Martha Stewart crafts here.
After I cut out all the bits and pieces, the girls helped match up
and assemble felt mouse ears.
We used Aleene's tacky glue to glue the felt bits together.
I picked up some mini bottles at JoAnne's and I'll never buy the big ones again.
The tiny bottle is actually very easy to use
and much easier to squeeze than their normal-sized big bottle.
I plan to only buy the tiny bottle for the girls (and myself) from now on!
After the ears were put together we glued on tiny felt noses.
For the eyes we used black scrapbook paper punched out with a hole punch.
I added a "white highlight" with a Bic White Out Pen (office supply aisle at Target).
Then, we threaded the candy canes through the mice and they're ready to go
to school tomorrow for the big third grade class party!
Happy Holiday Crafting!

* Semi-homemade Teacher and School Friend Holiday Gifts
"C" had her last day of preschool on Friday.
She is officially on winter break and home with me until 2012!
We were busy girls last week making gifts for her two wonderful teachers.
She's in the "Cardinals" class this year.
When I saw these adorable wooden bird ornaments at JoAnne's craft store
at Halloween time, I knew they would be perfect Christmas gifts
for her classmates and teachers, so I bought a bunch.
"C" painted two of them red for her teachers with watercolors
(with permanent marker for the cheeks, eyes and she added the eyelashes!)
Then, I typed up a little poem and bagged up an ornament for each classmate
to decorate at home. With the preschool class name and year on the back.
We made a little bundle like this for each of her teachers.
They included two (homemade by mama) stiff felt bird ornaments -
a white sparkly dove and a red cardinal.
(The felt birds are a MaryLea and her mom-modified version of this craft from Family Fun.)
They also got one of my felt poinsettia pins.
Remember these from 2009? I made and shipped 30 of them to my MIL's garden club
in Amarillo, TX and another half-dozen to all of my Aunts in Colorado!
The teachers also each got a wooden cardinal ornament painted by "C"
and a felt candy cane mouse (this craft from Martha Stewart).
Now, we just have to finish "E"s school teacher and class gifts,
she has her big holiday party this week before her winter vacation begins.
So these are waiting in the art studio
for us to finish assembling after school tomorrow
for "E"s third grade class.
Can you tell what they are?
I'll give you a hint - not a creature was stirring, not even a candy cane....!
Happy Holiday Crafting!

* Easy Kid Holiday Craft: Paper Chain Stair Garlands For Christmas
Do you remember how I said that we had a bunch of skinny strips
of scrap-booking paper leftover from our
Homemade (Thrifty) Christmas Card project this year?!
The girls and I (with some help from Grandma too)
had a crafty play date and made Christmas paper chains
to deck the halls (and stairwell).
(And yes...those are stuffed birds and fairy dolls sitting on the stairs.)
We had real pine swags (read: very Martha Stewart)
but they were dropping pine needles left and right
and Elly the Cat wouldn't leave them alone.
This is a much more cat-friendly alternative garland
and the girls had fun making it too!

* Cholula Hot Sauce Cap Decorating Giveaway
Look at what appeared under our Christmas tree last night!
These are my little Cholula Hot Sauce friends,
they might look cute and sweet but they're full of flavor and fire!
My friends at Cholula Hot Sauce sent me this fun 4-pack
of hot sauce to celebrate the holiday season.
The pack included all 4 Cholula flavors:
Original, Chili Garlic, Chili Lime, and Chipotle.
Just what I needed to give my holiday cooking and morning eggs a little kick!
They are hosting a giveaway to let you,
my awesome readers (and your kiddos!),
show off your creative talents with a
Cholula Hot Sauce Cap Decorating Contest.
I'll start by show and telling our own four cap designs.
We started with the bottle of Original Flavor hot sauce,
it's plain wooden bead surface reminded me of our pine cone elves,
so we drew a little face with permanent markers,
added a felt hat and a fleece scarf!
Then, we made Rudolph the Red-Nosed Chili Garlic Reindeer:
We painted the wooden cap red with acrylic craft paint.
Then, made a stiff felt reindeer head with permanent marker and googly eyes.
Cut a star shape where his nose should be and slid him over the cap!
Then, we made this little Penguin in honor of my MIL who loves all things, Penguin.
We painted the Chipotle flavor bottle's wooden cap with black and white acrylic craft paint.
Glued on a black pom-pom head with a craft foam beak, felt wings, and mini googly eyes.
The Chili Lime flavor's green wooden cap looked like the Grinch.
So that's exactly who we transformed the bottle into...
Painted eyes, permanent marker details, feather tuft for hair, and a fleece scarf.
Now it's your turn to get crafty and show and tell.
They're something good in it for you too....
A Cholula Cap Decorating Contest where families and individuals
may decorate their Cholula Cap for a chance to win prizes.

* Re-Cycled Paint Stick Snowman Snow Ruler!
Here's a fun oldie but goodie, winter time craftivity!
Frosty the paint stick has made an appearance on the blog before
but it's that time of year for him to come out again!
"E" made him when she was 3 and-a-half or 4-years-old and I love him.
Start with a wooden paint stirring stick from the hardware store
(or, if you're like me, from the garage box of misc. house painting stuff)
Let your kids paint it white (acrylic craft paint or house paint works best)
After it's dry, help your child use a ruler to measure
and mark the stick with one inch increments
using a black permanent marker.
Embellish and add "Snow Man" details
at the top with scraps of ribbon, fabric, or fleece for a hat and scarf.
A face can be drawn or painted on.
Or, raid some mini pom poms like we did,
or use googly eyes, dried beans, beads, sequins -- whatever you have around.
Carrot nose can be made out of paper, felt, or craft foam.
This is a fun and easy winter craft
and they make fun gifts for relatives, teachers, and neighbors as well!
Now you have your very own (adorable) way
to measure the snow - just take your snow man outside
after it snows to stick in the snow and see how many inches you got!
(You can spray him with clear sealer if you're worried about his paint running)
Happy Winter Crafting!

* Budget Friendly Semi-Homemade Christmas Cards
This year we kept it simple and semi-homemade with our Christmas cards.
I used a printing coupon from an online
photo printing site to print a bunch of 4"x6" photos
of the girls from our trip to the beach this summer.
We didn't have a family shot since we went by ourselves to the beach this year!
Next year we'll have to use a timer or ask someone to take a photo for us.
I cut up a bunch of rectangles of scrapbook paper
from a big Christmas themed scrapbook paper pack
picked up (on clearance!) last year from Michael's craft store.
Using glue dots from my friends at Elmer's glue,
I attached the photo of the girls,
then added a pre-printed white office label
with our holiday message/greeting on the back.
We put them in self-sealing envelopes from Walmart
with address labels and holiday stamps.
We used 12x12 scrapbook paper from one of those big paper pad packs.
I trimmed down each piece to 5"x7" on my paper cutter,
so I got three cards out of every sheet.
(If you don't have a big paper cutter at home is there one nearby
at school or a church you could borrow?)
We saved our scraps to re-use as embellishment on the cards
and to make paper chains and christmas collages!

It was pretty easy and the girls were able to help me with the card assembly.
Now that's off the to-do list,
we can't wait to see all of our friends' smiling faces
on our Christmas card bulletin board in the next few weeks!

WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) — In another sign of an improving deficit picture, the Treasury on Monday said it expects to pay off debt in the current quarter for the first time in six years.
In a statement, Treasury said it now expects to pay off $35 billion of debt in the April-to-June quarter, compared to an earlier projection, given in February, that it would have to borrow $103 billion.
This will be the first quarter that Treasury has paid off debt since April-to-June period 2007.
The payoff "is emblematic of the turn in budget finances from horrible, to grim, on their way to steadily better," said Eric Green, global head of rates and foreign-exchange research at TD Securities.
Treasurys on the longer end of the yield curve weakened slightly after the news. The 10-year note US:10_YEAR was yield was up about a half a basis point up on the day at 1.668%, while the 30-year bond yield US:30_YEAR climbed more than 1 basis point on the day to 2.876%. Read MarketWatch's bond report.
In a statement, Treasury said the changed projection related to higher receipts and lower outlays, but gave no details. The agency also said it expects to have more cash on hand than was previously assumed.
Tampa, Charlotte among gainers.
• U.S. homeownership at 18-year low
Congress allowed a payroll tax cut to expire at the beginning of the year. This tax hike and continued growth has put more money into the government's coffers. The sequester, in effect since March, has helped cut outlays.
For the fourth fiscal quarter, which begins in July, the government expects to borrow $223 billion.
This assumes quarter-end cash balances of $75 billion on June 30 and $80 billion on September 30.
The Treasury will announce details of its quarterly refunding on Wednesday. Green said Treasury is expected to hold the refunding auction sizes steady at $32 billion three-year notes, $24 billion of ten-year notes, and $16 billion in 30-year bonds.
"But if there is a surprise, we know where it leans," Green said.
Over the next two years, the Treasury offering of coupon securities could be $250-$325 billion lower than it has been, Green estimated.
Last week, as a result of the improved outlook for the deficit, the Bipartisan Policy Center pushed back the estimated date that the U.S. might hit its debt ceiling to far as mid-to-late September from the previous estimate of late August to mid-September.
Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew said last week he could not forecast the exact date when Congress has to raise the ceiling to avoid a default.
Republicans in Congress want to use the debt ceiling to seek spending cuts from President Barack Obama.

Subscribe To Liam Neeson Reteaming WIth Unknown Director For Plane Thriller Non-Stop Updates
I've already subscribed
No one has been able to quite replicate the throat-punching intensity of Liam Neeson's first action hero effort, 2009's brazen and silly and great Taken. But that's not going to stop a lot of people from continuing to try, and Jaume Collet-Serra may be trying hardest of all. His 2011 film Unknown was essentially "Taken goes to Berlin," and though it was some silly fun in its own right, it couldn't hold a candle to either the style or global grosses of Pierre Morel's original film. And now that Neeson is set to star in Taken 2 later this year, he's also going to team up again with Collet-Serra, in the continuing efforts to prove just who can make Neeson the biggest badass on earth.
Well, make that the biggest badass in the sky. According to Variety Neeson will be starring for Collet-Serra in Non-Stop, playing a man forced to stop a threat aboard an international flight. Before we go any further, let's just stop and acknowledge what we're all thinking:
Can Neeson really top that? Well, he's got a better shot than most. Taken really did establish him as an unlikely action star, a soulful hero who will punch the bad guy, but only in the name of what's important and right. In The Grey earlier this year he took that reputation even further, as a suicidal sniper who's stuck in the wilderness after a plane crash, and sees no choice but to help his cohorts survive. Yes, it all feels a long way from Oskar Schindler and Alfred Kinsey, but when someone finds their calling like this, how can you deny it?
And while Air Force One has pretty much been the definitive "badass on a plane" action movie, it's also more than 15 years old. If Non-Stop turns out as genial and fine as Unknown, it'll be worth it; if Collet-Serra and Neeson can up their game a little bit, Harrison Ford's iconic Air Force One moment might be unseated at last.

Sorry for the delay, without further ado, here are my offseason grades for the AFC East.
2011 DRAFT PICKS: Nate Solder, OT (1-17); Ras-I Dowling, CB (2-33); Shane Vereen, RB (2-56); Stevan Ridley, RB (3-73); Ryan Mallett, QB (3-74); Marcus Cannon, OT (5-138); Lee Smith, TE (5-159); Markell Carter, DE (6-194); Malcolm Williams, CB (7-219)
I think the New England Patriots had a stronger draft than most people give them credit for. The glaring hole that I see in their draft is that they failed to address the wide receiver position and waited until the 3rd round to address their running back need. Nate Solder is a perfect fit for this line as he is a large athletic tackle that can be plugged in immediately. I really like what the Patriots did in the 3rd and 4th round as much as anyone. Stevan Ridley was a highly underrated running back in college who could be a strong addition to the backfield in another year or two. I also think Ryan Mallett can be a starting quarterback in this league and I feel like the Patriots will soon pull a "Cassell" or "Kolb" and be able to turn this 4th round draft pick into more draft picks. The best thing the Patriots did in this draft is set themselves up nicely seeing as they now have 2 first round and 2 second round picks in 2012.
KEY ADDITIONS: Logan Mankins, G (Patriots); Matt Light, OT (Patriots); BenJarvus Green-Ellis, RB (Patriots); Albert Haynesworth, DT (Redskins), Chad Ochocinco, WR (Bengals), Shaun Ellis, DE (Jets)
KEY LOSSES: Marcus Stroud, DT; Tully Banta-Cain, LB; Ty Warren, DE; Nick Kaczur, OT; Alge Crumpler, TE
The New England Patriots did not make the big splashes that other teams did but what's important is they made the necessary one. They were able to re-sign Mankins and Light so with the addition of Solder this is a solid offensive line going into next season. They were able to bring back BenJarvus Green-Ellis who was able to provide a ground attack for the Patriots last season. Most importantly, if Albert Haynesworth can return to Tennessee form the Patriots got him for a ridiculously good value and by pairing him with Vince Wilfork, the Patriots might have the tools necessary to shut down that dangerous running game of the New York Jets. In addition they were able to go and get Shaun Ellis from the Jets to give the Patriots a great defensive line. Chad Ochocinco was another great value trade who I think will have a great year in New England. Not a ridiculous year but his presence should also open up the field for Wes Welker and those young tight ends. I project a 9 – 10 touchdown, 1100 yard season for Ochocinco in this offense which makes this an excellent pick-up.
2011 DRAFT PICKS: Muhammad Wilkerson, DE (1-30); Kenrick Ellis, DT (3-94); Bilal Powell, RB (4-126); Jeremy Kerley, WR (5-153); Greg McElroy, QB (7-208); Scotty McKnight, WR (7-227)
Going into the draft, the New York Jets biggest concern had to be their defensive line – getting younger and more athletic at the position. They finally gave up on bust Vernon Gholston and the aging Jason Taylor will not be back. Additionally, they also lost Shaun Ellis to the rival Patriots. I feel like Wilkerson will be giving quarterbacks in the East nightmares for years. He is a tall, athletic, fast defensive end with great strength and instincts. Kenrick Ellis could be a great force upfront for the Jets. I do like the Greg McElroy pick in the 7th round. A lot of times, draft experts talk about intangibles which really means "we don't know what else to call it but we like it" or someone being a winner. The difference between Super Bowl contenders like the Jets and teams like the Broncos – is the Jets took a quarterback who is a winner, but they grabbed him in the 7th round as opposed to trading up in the first. Overall this was a really good draft for the Jets without a lot of picks. The only downside is I feel like their linebacker corps could also use some help.
KEY ADDITIONS: Santonio Holmes, WR (Jets); Antonio Cromartie, CB (Jets); Mark Brunell, QB (Jets); Plaxico Burress, WR (Inactive); Nick Folk, K (Jets); Wayne Hunter, OT (Jets); David Harris, LB (Jets); Derrick Mason, WR (Ravens)
KEY LOSSES: Braylon Edwards, WR; Shaun Ellis, DE; Jason Taylor, DE; Brad Smith, KR/WR/QB
The New York Jets did some excellent things in the free agency period. Braylon Edwards was a big loss but with his pending suspension, the Jets felt like Plaxico Burress was a better risk to take. Re-signing Santonio Holmes was a must and then the addition of the ageless wonder Derrick Mason gives the Jets a strong receiving corps. Bringing back Cromartie was necessary once they lost out on the Asomugha sweepstakes and since the kicker market was relatively weak, it was so important for the Jets to re-sign Nick Folk. The big losses for the Jets are Shaun Ellis who left for the rival Patriots but the Jets anticipated this loss in their draft. One really big loss for the Jets, that most don't realize, was do-it-all Brad Smith. His long kick returns, and ability as a wild cat QB was a big part of the Jets success the last two seasons and he will be missed more than most Jets fans realize. Overall, the Jets did a great job in the offseason.
2011 DRAFT CLASS: Mike Pouncey, C (1-15); Daniel Thomas, RB (2-62); Edmund Gates, WR (4-11); Charles Clay, FB (6-174); Frank Kearse, DT (7-231); Jimmy Wilson (7-235)
For me, the Miami Dolphins draft was kind of a mixed bag. But overall there were a few things I really liked about the draft for the Dolphins. First off, I love the Mike Pouncey pick for him in the first round. While it has been a slow process, the Dolphins have been doing a good job of building their offensive line. They got their tackle in Jake Long a few years back and now they have the second most position in the line in a strong, athletic center in Pouncey. I really am a fan of Daniel Thomas and think he could be a great addition to that backfield. The fact that the first running back went off the board late in the first round makes almost any running back with starter potential, such as Thomas a good value. The player I love in this draft for the Miami Dolphins is Edmund Gates. Having watched several Abilene Christian games, I can tell you this about Gates – he's got great awareness, excellent hands, and amazing athleticism. He is a raw talent but when he gets in space, watch out – he was one of the fastest players in this year's draft. He is going to be compared to the Chicago Bears' Johnny Knox (also from ACU) but I expect, with some development, that Gates will be better than Knox. Great value pick in the 4th round. I'm intrigued to watch him develop.
KEY ADDITIONS: Reggie Bush, RB (Saints); Kevin Burnett, LB (Chargers); Matt Moore, QB (Panthers); Tony McDaniel, DE (Dolphins); Marc Colombo, OT (Cowboys); Ronald Fields, DT (Broncos); Jason Taylor, DE (Jets)
KEY LOSSES: Ronnie Brown, RB; Tyler Thigpen, QB; Channing Crowder, LB
I have not been big on Reggie Bush these past few years but I think this is a trade that makes sense. He is a pass catching running back and a great athlete and may be the heir apparent to the now departed original Wildcat, Ronnie Brown. He also gives the Dolphins a threat as an excellent punt returner. The addition of Marc Colombo gives the Dolphins a pretty good offensive line and I like the additions they made on defense with Fields and Burnett. Crowder will definitely be missed. Of course the biggest question for the Dolphins in my mind is who is going to play quarterback? I am not going to go as far as to say Chad Henne and Matt Moore are never going to be more than a number 2 but for a team that improved overall in the offseason, they actually took a step back at the quarterback position. It's a sad state of affairs when losing Tyler Thigpen actually weakens your QB position. There were a number of serviceable starters available via trade and draft and I think the Dolphins should be calling Cincy around the clock to see what it would take to get Carson Palmer there. While I believe he is retired for good, this is one of a small handful of teams that should be calling Favre and it might not hurt them to give Randy Moss a call either.
2011 DRAFT CLASS: Marcell Dareus, DT (1-3); Aaron Williams, CB (2-34); Kelvin Sheppard, LB (3-68); Da'Norris Searcy, S (4-100); Chris Hairston, OT (4-122); Johnny White, RB (5-133); Chris White, LB (6-169); Justin Rogers, CB (7-206); Michael Jasper, G (7-245)
I don't know if Buffalo really drafted the positions they needed but they drafted a lot of good players. A lot of good teams have been built on the basis of B.P.A. (Best Player Available) and when you are as bad as the Bills were last season, the focus really does need to be on getting as many good players as possible. While I will continue to argue that I believe Patrick Peterson was the best overall player in the draft, I believe Marcell Dareus was a perfect defensive pick for the Bills. The Bills run a 3-4 defense and as a pass-rusher, Dareus could easily be converted into a defensive end. I also love the Williams, Sheppard, and Searcy picks. This defense should be much improved this coming season. The biggest questions have to be though, why the Bills did not address their offensive line until day 3 or use a single pick on a wide receiver or tight end.
KEY ADDITIONS: Nick Barnett, LB (Packers); Drayton Florence, CB (Bills); Brad Smith, WR/KR/QB (Jets), Tyler Thigpen, QB (Dolphins)
KEY LOSSES: Paul Posluszny, LB; Donte Whitner, S; Lee Evans, WR
One of these offseasons, Buffalo is going to have to make a splash if they ever hope to compete with the Jets and Patriots. Losing Paul Posluszny and Donte Whitner was significant. But the Bills re-signed the guy they needed to in Drayton Florence. Nick Barnett is a nice replacement for Posluszny and I could see this being a stout defense that now features the likes of Aaron Williams, Marcell Dareus, Shawne Merriman, Nick Barnett, and Jairus Byrd. I also like the Tyler Thigpen signing as he is a solid back-up quarterback and it was a good move to take Brad Smith away from the rival Jets. Gailey did some wildcat looks in Kansas City with Thigpen and in this offense he could find places for Thigpen and Smith. However, the offensive side of the ball needs plenty of work. The offensive line is non-existent and they traded away a highly underrated receiver in Lee Evans which I believe they will regret. But if this defense can hold teams to 10 points a game, the Bills might just have a shot.
Overall the AFC East had a pretty strong offseason. The New England Patriots definitely improved. The Bills and Dolphins should field a better team than last season and the New York Jets look about the same to me. As always this should be a very tough division and I expect great defense across the board from all four teams.

Three charged in prostitution investigation at local massage parlor
After reports alleging that prostitution was taking place at Sunrise Health Therapeutic Massage, 800 Post Road, Unit 3C, the Darien Police Department, in conjunction with Connecticut State Police and the Department of Homeland Security, launched a four-month investigation, according to police.
Police said the investigation used undercover informants, Connecticut Police Statewide Organized Crime Investigation Task Force and the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and led to three arrests.
The proprietor, Fu Xu, 49, from Elmhurst, N.Y, turned himself in to police headquarters early on Nov. 30 and arrested on charges of promoting prostitution, permitting prostitution and three counts of employing unlicensed massage therapists, according to police.
Fenjiao Gao, 43, from Flushing, N.Y., was arrested on Nov. 29 on charges of interfering with a police officer and practicing massage without a license, and Xiuguin Lu, 45, also from Flushing, N.Y., arrested on Nov. 29 on charges of two counts of prostitution and three counts of practicing massage without a license, according to police.
Police said $4,500 in cash, which was located in the establishment, was siezed as well as a vehicle that was used to transport the female employees.
Lu was held on $20,000 bond, Gao on a $1,000 bond and Xu on a $5,000 bond. Lu and Gao were transported to Stamford Superior Court on Nov. 30, according to police. Lu, Gao, and Xu are all scheduled to appear in court on Dec. 10.

As far as sheer volume of interest goes, Samsung outdid Apple this week, with more stories flying around about the Galaxy S III than about the iPhone 5.
Top of the list was security. According to most of the top tech sites, Galaxy S III owners might have had a bit of a scare this week. That is, if Samsung hadn't already dealt with the problem before anyone even knew it existed.
Apparently, says Mashable, a vulnerability was discovered in Samsung's Unstructured Supplementary Service Data (USSD) that «potentially allowed attackers to remotely wipe the contents of Galaxy S II and III devices,» essentially restoring them to factory settings.
Thankfully, Samsung's already come out with a patch, and the company issued a statement to Engadget urging users to update:
"We would like to assure our customers that the recent security issue concerning the GALAXY S III has already been resolved through a software update. We recommend all GALAXY S III customers to download the latest software update, which can be done quickly and easily via the Over-The-Air (OTA) service."
So, now that your smartphone is safe and sound, how about encrusting it with crystals? If you're nodding your head in agreement, and if you have upwards of £2099 (about $3370 U.S.) to spare, maybe consider upgrading to the Samsung Galaxy S III Swarovski Edition?
The device, available from Amosu Couture, is set with 500 Swarovski crystals around the bezel, plus an extra 16 around the home button. Sort of pricey and all, but you do get a free calf leather case.
Now for the really juicy stuff. Hot on the heels of all the rumors surrounding an iPad Mini launch, Samsung's brewing its own big news about something small.
According to TechCrunch, which cited «a recently released press invitation,» Samsung may be unveiling a smaller scale version of the Galaxy S III (the Mini) at a store in Frankfurt, Germany. The invite, written in German and loosely translated as «So big can be small. And so small can be big,» is so far the only proof of such an event.
But it's already got Samsung fans more than a little excited, if you'll excuse the pun.

Genelia D'Souza and Imran Khan have exciting entries in this latest post at Aamir Khan's blog.
The Jaane Tu soundtrack sounds and feels even better after the movie, and my favorite song remains Kahin To Hogi (lyrics and my translation in this post). The music is excellent, the lyrics are beautiful, the vocals by Rashid Ali and Vasundhara Das are captivating, and equally importantly, the placement of the song in the film is outstanding. Now that new regulation in California mandates hands-free cell phone use while driving (as noted in this post), at least I won't look as ridiculous speaking to myself (singing, really) in the car without a phone to my ear :)
Wanted to share an interesting and fun experience from during lunch today. Listening to Kahin To Hogi while reading the Journal, and came up with a response to the song in the form of a poem I titled Woh Duniya Hai. Wrote it from the perspective of the audience, urging Jai and/or Aditi to realize their friendship was indeed a product of love. This sheet of paper was my word palette. Changed very little while transcribing.
Wrote specifically for the moment in the film in which the song appears, and I hope that quality is intelligible. Strongly encourage you to revisit the original, for bits are answers to questions posed in it.
The translation is written as if this were being said to Jai, as I can relate to the character in some ways (convinced it has to do with the way my mom brought me up, for better or for worse).
Playing around with words was fun! See if you can find the following in the poem/song:
- Refererences to each song from the Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na soundtrack (some more explicit than others).
- A reference to a Mirza Ghalib poem. (Hint: Abbas Tyrewala had one in Nazrein Milana. Mine is adjacent to a reference to the song.)
- References to two Aamir Khan movies, one very obvious. Did you really think I was not going to include them? ;)
Here are the results. For the record, I never finished lunch, but that's okay. Every once in a while, nourishment from Bollywood food must do! Eat and be merry, folks...cheers!
