Subscribe To Pineapple Express Updates
Pineapple Express Synopsis
Next summer, the guys who brought you Superbad reunite for the action-comedy Pineapple Express. Lazy stoner Dale Denton (Seth Rogen) has only one reason to visit his equally lazy dealer Saul Silver (James Franco): to purchase weed, specifically, a rare new strain called Pineapple Express. But when Dale becomes the only witness to a murder by a crooked cop (Rosie Perez) and the city's most dangerous drug lord (Gary Cole), he panics and dumps his roach of Pineapple Express at the scene. Dale now has another reason to visit Saul: to find out if the weed is so rare that it can be traced back to him. And it is. As Dale and Saul run for their lives, they quickly discover that they're not suffering from weed-fueled paranoia; incredibly, the bad guys really are hot on their trail and trying to figure out the fastest way to kill them both. All aboard the Pineapple Express.
The movie I'm most excited about this year isn't Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. It's Indy, I get it, he's awesome. But even more awesome is the re-teaming of former Freaks and Geeks buddies James Franco and Seth Rogen for a wild stoner action movie written co-written by Rogen and produced by Judd Apatow. It's called Pineapple Express… and it looks superbadass.
The early reviews on this thing have been nothing short of phenomenal. Meanwhile producer Judd Apatow and his ever growing posse of protégés are on the kind of run that hasn't been seen since the likes of Pixar. Assuming of course you ignore the bad reviews of Drillbit Taylor and the dismal box office take of Walk Hard. Whoops. Hey, American audiences are fickle, but Apatow and everyone he's surrounded himself with are on the verge of becoming comedy gods.
Writing partners Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg have already proven their mettle, as the minds behind last year's breakout hit Superbad. And as an actor, well let's face it, Rogen should have been an Oscar contender for Knocked Up. Ok, maybe Golden Globe frontrunner is more reasonable. The guy should have gotten something for putting up with Katherine Heigl.
The film's director on the other hand, is everything that Rogen, Apatow, and the rest of the frat pack are not. David Gordon Green is a director of serious independent dramas, and not the sort you'd expect to find helming a wild, action filled, comedy. In a recent interview with Film Monthly Green explained his involvement as part of Judd Apatow's unending pursuit to bring something distinctive and unique to each of his films. Green says, "they're looking outside the box for directors that can bring something to it, to do something interesting and nonconventional, and push the envelope." Green is talented, and bringing him together with other talented people to do something unique and new is without a doubt exciting.
The trailers are killer, the cast is top notch, and Pineapple Express has the makings of one of the year's most explosive comedies. Bring it on boys, we can't wait to toke up on what you're offering.

Two bank robbery suspects were arrested following a high speed chase in southeastern Colorado on Friday morning, June 28, 2013.
A male suspect entered the McClave State Bank (113 1st St.) in the town of McClave just after 8:30 a.m. and demanded cash from bank employees after brandishing a handgun.
The suspect fled the scene with an undisclosed amount of cash and entered a Ford Taurus being driven by another male suspect. That vehicle was found abandoned several miles from the bank.
A short while later, a Lamar Police officer attempted to make a traffic stop involving a Ford pick-up truck just before 9:30 a.m. A pursuit ensued and ended after approximately six miles when the driver of the truck and another male occupant fled the vehicle on foot. They were apprehended a short time later.
Evidence from the bank robbery was recovered by police. (Specific information about the evidence is not being released as this is part of the investigation.)
The recovered Ford Taurus and pick-up truck were reported stolen out of Pueblo on Thursday, June 27, 2013.
Michael Lloyd Givan (DOB: 11/12/84) and Joshua Ray Hyatt (DOB: 12/18/87) –both from Pueblo—were arrested and face charges of aggravated robbery, two counts of aggravated motor vehicle theft and possession of a weapon by a previous offender. They will be taken to
the Bent County Jail in Las Animas.
The case is being investigated by multiple agencies including the CBI, FBI, Bent County Sheriff's Office, Lamar Police Department and the 16th Judicial District Attorney's Office.

New Spare Parts Management System to Help the Aircraft Maker Achieve its Overall Business Objectives
NEEDHAM, Mass. and MARIGNANE, France — (BUSINESS WIRE) — January 8, 2013 — PTC (Nasdaq: PMTC) today announced that Eurocopter, an EADS subsidiary, is expanding its use of PTC technology solutions to enhance the contribution Eurocopter support services makes to the company's overall business performance.
In 2008, EADS selected PTC technology solutions to serve as the backbone of its PHENIX Master Product Definition platform, an initiative to harmonize its product lifecycle management (PLM) environment across the entire company. The latest milestone in this long-standing relationship is the completed deployment of a new Spares Configuration Data Management (SCDM) system that leverages PTC technology to efficiently manage spare parts across Eurocopter's global service network. This newest initiative marks an expansion of the relationship between the two companies into an emerging area called service lifecycle management (SLM), and directly assists Eurocopter in achieving the growth goals of its service business.
In today's highly competitive global environment, discrete manufacturers are increasingly turning to their service organizations as a way to differentiate their market offerings, strengthen their relationships with customers and provide increased customer value. At a corporate level, EADS has outlined an aggressive vision for increasing its service revenue to 25% of total revenue by 2020. For Eurocopter, the successful execution of its customer service strategy is critical to achieving its overall growth and profitability goals.
"To contribute to this objective, Eurocopter will use SCDM to improve its spare parts data management processes by 50%, focusing on high-value services initially related to platforms, requiring and developing both customer centricity and product intimacy," said Pascal Gaudry, vice president, Material and Logistics Service Center, Eurocopter.
While better managing its spare parts is just the first milestone in Eurocopter's strategy to transform and optimize its overall service portfolio, such improved management is indicative of the kind of value directly achievable through SLM technology.
"To achieve the business transformation in spares and service information data management we strengthened our partnership with PTC to support our SLM strategy," said Marc Durand, project sponsor at Eurocopter. "SCDM is a first step in helping us optimize our spare parts processes." The next steps will enable Eurocopter to manage in-service helicopter configurations to offer tailored services to its customers.
Service Lifecycle Management enterprise applications enable manufacturers and their service network partners to optimize the system of processes they use to ensure that maximum value to their customers is sustained over the entire serviceable life of a product. True enterprise SLM solutions connect service planning, delivery and performance analysis into a complete and strategic view of service that helps drive increased service revenues and profitability.
"PTC has maintained a long-term relationship with EADS, and we are pleased that our technology solutions are now supporting the business goals of one of the world's leading helicopter manufacturers," said Jim Heppelmann, president and Chief Executive Officer, PTC. "Our approach to Service Lifecycle Management enables companies to deliver and capture product knowledge at the point of service, driving higher customer value and transforming their service businesses into strategic growth centers. We look forward to continuing to work with Eurocopter to help them achieve true product and service advantage."

Rah Rah Wreckage
You guys, I figured it out: these cupcakes hold a secret code.
See if you can crack it before the migraine sets in:
HINT: It's starts with the word "gone."
And here's a lesson on the importance of proper punctuation placement:
"GO!! Giants. Just... just go."
[adjusting belt and swaggering over drunkenly] "SO, football field cake. Are you gonna FIGHT? Or are you just too YELLA?"
Well, alrighty then.
Uh-oh. Look out, other foods! The wreckage is coming for you!
Although this does bring a whole new meaning to "paper or plastic."
As in, "What am I eating? Paper or plastic?"
An ode to the power of positive thinking:
Suuuure you will. Although, considering that you're a cookie cake with crappy handwriting, I think it'd be more *accurate* to say you'll be in the:
I'm telling you, guys, the annual misspelling of "Super Bowl" to "Super Bowel" never gets old. Trust me.
"Go, Super Bowel! Go, Go, GO!"

We have remodelled that mechanism to make our piano stool mechanism. It includes a 3" long machined steel nut (for insertion in the stool base) plus a 4-1/2" diameter seat flange fixed to a 1" diameter by 8" long threaded steel shaft. The #6 and #12 fixing screws needed are not included, since their length will be design dependent.
A unique feature of our redesign is threading only the bottom third of the nut. This avoids toppling of the seat if the shaft is spun out of the threaded portion. The system still provides 6" of height adjustment.
Made in Canada.

Chapter 1: Getting Started and Taking Control
Professional Associations
Before you can even begin to contact and compare home inspection companies, your first goal is to secure a list of likely home inspector candidates from a reliable and trusted source. A good first choice to consider for obtaining a list of names are the nationally recognized associations that many home inspectors belong to. To help you get started, I highly recommend 'The American Society of Home Inspectors' (ASHI) and 'The National Association of Home Inspectors' (NAHI) not only because both ASHI (founded in 1976) and NAHI (founded later in 1987 by an ASHI member) were the first of their kind but also because they still remain the two most prominent and sought after associations in the home inspection profession today.
The next step is to contact the Association you have chosen to obtain a list of its members within a fifty mile radius of the area where you're planning to buy a home. For those with online capability, the best way to proceed is to visit the Association's website to see what they have to offer. If you prefer or have to use the phone, most Associations provide a toll free number you can call in order to speak with someone who can answer your questions and provide you with the information you need. In either case, keep the following points in mind as you begin to build and refine your name list: 1) try to end up with at least six to ten names, 2) always ask for and jot down each inspector's rank or membership status within the Association including how long they've been a member, 3) in some cases you may need to contact more than one Association, and 4) take note that a home inspector may belong to more than one Association.
Referrals From Trusted Sources
Another good source of names to consider are referrals from trusted family members, friends and co-workers you have grown to respect over time, not to mention your attorney. In fact, real estate attorneys are usually very discriminating when it comes to recommending a home inspector who will serve their clients' best interests, and not the Realtor's, during the real estate transaction process.
Sources To Exclude
Unless a realtor happens to be in the family or a very close friend with your best interests at heart, all other realtor referrals should be considered suspect and disregarded making sure that none have since found their way onto your list. As for relying upon the phone directory, this is paramount to rolling dice or looking for a needle in a hay stack and is definitely not the way to go about finding a good home inspector!
Candidates And Newbies
As you continue building your name list, you want to be sure to exclude newbie home inspectors. To do this, you have to learn a little bit about an Association's membership. For example, ASHI has what they refer to as Candidates and Members. By definition, an ASHI Candidate is one who has yet to attain full membership status by satisfying certain criteria as set forth by ASHI. This is significant since Candidates are often newbies to the profession, meaning they are just learning the ropes, and typically have little experience inspecting homes. Given this information, exclude all ASHI Candidates from your list unless you're willing to hire and pay a home inspector to learn at your expense. In no disrespect to newbies, while all have to start somewhere, there's no substitute for experience!
Also note I have purposely used ASHI to explain this procedure as I am not familiar with how the other association memberships are structured. Therefore, if any of the names on your list happen to belong to an association other than ASHI, you would be will advised to learn what you can about their membership as well.
State Licensing
Some states require licensing of home inspectors while others do not. If the state in which you're looking to purchase a home does require licensing, then you need to verify that the inspector is licensed in that state and that their license has not expired so you don't end up with a worthless home inspection. This information can normally be obtained online as well as over the phone by contacting your local state agency that handles licensing of home inspectors. To find out if your state requires licensing refer to 'Links' under table of contents. Incidentally and for what it's worth, never hire a home inspector based upon licensing alone or you could be in for a rude awakening! More on this later.
General Liability And E&O Insurance
Insurance is somewhat similar to licensing in that the states that require home inspectors to be licensed may/may not also require the home inspector to carry general liability and/or errors and omissions (E&O) insurance. If the state you're planning to buy a home in requires inspectors to be insured, you should be able to easily verify this along with their license since the state will not ordinarily issue a license to a home inspector who has failed to meet this requirement. It's also a good idea to ask the inspector to produce a copy of their certificate of insurance before/on the day of the inspection for further verification. Similar to licensing, for states that don't require home inspectors to carry E&O insurance, never base your final decision to hire a home inspector on insurance alone! More on this later on.
Secure a list of inspection candidates from a well known and trusted source.
Sources include Professional Associations like ASHI and NAHI, and referrals from trusted family members, friends, co-workers, and your attorney.
Refrain from using Realtor referrals and the phone directory
Exclude ASHI Candidates and all newbie inspectors from your list.
Verify that the home inspector is licensed and insured in your state if so required.

Check out our hands-on preview of the HTC Titan and HTC Radar now
HTC has just announced
two new Windows Phone handsets, the much-rumoured Radar and the rather
unexpected 4.7in beast called Titan.
Both phones will
running the Mango update to the Microsoft OS which features
multitasking and improved search and browsing experiences. HTC was
remaining quiet on pricing saying it will be dependent on region and carriers.
First up is the 4.7in
HTC Titan, featuring a 480×800 LCD panel powered by a 1.5GHz Qualcomm
Snapdragon processor. It will be supported by just 512MB of RAM and
up 16GB of built-in memory.2″
The phone itself is
rather large, measuring 131.5 x 70.7 x 9.9mm yet it weighs in at a
light 160g. With the launch of the 5.3in {linkout:http://www.]trustedreviews.com/news/samsung-announces-5-3in-galaxy-note Galaxy Note earlier today,
the lines between tablets and smartphones are certainly blurring.
On the rear the is an 8
megapixel camera with a f2.2 aperature lens (28mm equivalent) and back illuminated sensor for
improved low-light performance. There are also a new panorama and
burst shooting modes allowing you to create wide-angle shots and snap
fast moving action.
The camera comes with a
large 1600mAh battery and HTC promises a "good days battery life", despite
the larger screen.
The Titan, like the
name suggests, will dominate the new Windows Phone handsets when the
rest of them launch, with its 4.7in screen, but it could be too big
for some.
Next up is the
HTC Radar, a rather more run-of-the-mill HTC phone, featuring a 3.8in
touchscreen with a WVGA (480×800) resolution. The Radar features a 1GHz
Snapdragon processor with 512MB of RAM and up to 8GB of in-built storage.
Like the Titan, the
Radar has a physical shutter button controlling a five megapixel
camera on the rear. Again the camera has the f2.2 lens, and panorama
and burst shooting modes. There is also a VGA quality front-facing
The phone measures
120.5 x 61.5 x 10.9mm and weighs 139g and the battery is a decent
HTC said today it is
currently the largest-selling Windows Phone manufacturer and with
these handsets looks set to continue in that position. Both phones are due out in early October in Asia and Europe.
We have gone hands-on
with both phones and will be bringing you our first impressions very soon.

Late collapse spoils Rienzo's gritty debut
CLEVELAND -- The apparent rotation replacement for Jake Peavy certainly acquitted himself well during his Major League debut Tuesday night at Progressive Field.
Cleveland rallied with four runs in the eighth against the White Sox bullpen to claim a 7-4 victory, but wins and losses really aren't the issue for a team sitting at 40-64 overall and 24 games under .500 for the first time since Sept. 29, 1989. This game's story actually was about Andre Rienzo and the country of Brazil.View Full Game Coverage
CLEVELAND -- The apparent rotation replacement for Jake Peavy certainly acquitted himself well during his Major League debut Tuesday night at Progressive Field.
Cleveland rallied with four runs in the eighth against the White Sox bullpen to claim a 7-4 victory, but wins and losses really aren't the issue for a team sitting at 40-64 overall and 24 games under .500 for the first time since Sept. 29, 1989. This game's story actually was about Andre Rienzo and the country of Brazil.View Full Game Coverage
Rienzo didn't give up an earned run over seven innings and 99 pitches, striking out six and walking three. He bounced around the field like a teenager on his last day of school before summer vacation and gave the team a much-needed infusion of positive energy.
"He has a neat little personality as far as bringing his own energy," said White Sox manager Robin Ventura. "That's a positive. He gets everybody into it. I don't necessarily understand all the stuff he's doing, but he's moving around and moving people around. It was fun seeing him pitch. The end stunk, but he did well."
"It was great to be here and a great experience," Rienzo said. "It was awesome."
Awesome, except for missing out on his first career victory.
Ryan Raburn's two-run, pinch-hit single off of reliever Matt Lindstrom with two outs in the eighth erased a one-run White Sox lead and sparked the four-run game-deciding rally. The comeback started with Asdrubal Cabrera and Carlos Santana singles off of reliever Donnie Veal (1-2), and the winning run moved into second on pinch-runner Drew Stubbs' stolen base.
Yan Gomes capped the uprising with a two-run double to right-center. Gomes stands as the first native of Brazil to play in the Major Leagues, while Rienzo became the first pitcher from their home country.
"I hope Brazil is proud of me. I'm proud of Gomes," Rienzo said. "I hope if I have a chance next time to do better and help the team. I just want to open doors for guys coming. The talent is there. But I try to open doors. It's good."
"Such a huge thing for our country," Gomes said. "I've been saying this all year, and it's just going to get better. I'm very proud of him. Whatever he's got in the future, it's pretty big. It's exciting for him."
One rough inning for Rienzo came in the fifth, and it was slowed down by continued rough White Sox defense. Michael Brantley walked to open the frame, and was safe along with Carlos Santana when his double-play grounder to shortstop Alexei Ramirez was bobbled for his 18th error. Lonnie Chisenhall's single loaded the bases, and Gomes drew a walk to force in the Indians' first run and cut the White Sox lead to 3-1.
Michael Bourn followed with a grounder to first baseman Adam Dunn, who got the force at second, but Rienzo couldn't beat Bourn to first allowing a second run to score. Bourn stepped on Rienzo's right foot as he crossed first, and as Rienzo tried to shake off the pain, Chisenhall came around to score from second.
All three runs were unearned, and the Indians didn't come close to denting the scoreboard otherwise until the eighth. Rienzo also escaped the fifth by inducing an inning-ending flyout to left from Cabrera and then retired six of the final seven hitters faced.
"Yeah, he's pitched deep into games, and it was one of those where I wanted to see how he would react, and he was up for it," Ventura said. "When you get knocked down and have that blip in an inning, you have to bounce back and throw another inning, and he did it. He wanted more."
Two-out hitting was the watchword for the White Sox against Cleveland starter Scott Kazmir. Dunn's two-out double in the first scored Alejandro De Aza and Alex Rios, and Dayan Viciedo's two-out single off of the glove of second baseman Jason Kipnis against reliever Matt Albers scored Paul Konerko with the go-ahead run in the sixth. Konerko had reached via an infield single.
Peavy temporarily was moved to Wednesday's contest against the Indians as the White Sox finished off an apparent three-team deal with the Red Sox and Tigers. Rios, who MLB.com learned is being pursued once again by the Yankees, left Tuesday's game after fouling a ball off of his left foot in the eighth and sustaining a contusion, with X-rays to be taken Tuesday night.
"Well, it was very sore right after I hit it when I stride and stepped to swing at the next pitch, it was really sore when I turned my foot," Rios said. "But I don't think there's anything major or even if I'm going to miss any time. I'm going to get some X-rays now and it should be OK, hopefully."

RCA Records has announced the upcoming release of EP1, the debut EP from Smoke & Jackal. The six-track collection arrives in stores and at all digital retailers on October 16.
EP1 marks the first collaboration between Jared Followill (Kings of Leon) and Nick Brown (Mona). Smoke & Jackal were revealed to the universe earlier today as BBC Radio 1's Zane Lowe debuted the EP's electrifying first single, "No Tell," officially declaring it to be the "Hottest Record in the World." A companion video clip for "No Tell" is currently in post-production, with a premiere date to be announced soon. "No Tell," will be available via iTunes and all digital providers on August 28.
Followill and Brown began recording as Smoke & Jackal earlier this year, fueled by multiple bottles of red wine and a shared fascination with timbre, rhythm, and aural adventure. They set to work at Brown's Nashville home studio and before the first evening was through, the duo had crafted both "No Tell" and the stunning psychedelic slow jam, "Fall Around." The two musicians immediately understood they had created something special, an evocative and original melding of oceanic rock with bottomless grooves and hypnotic dub textures. Just over one week later, EP1 was complete. Defined by Followill's liquid bass lines and Brown's soaring and expressive vocals, songs like "Road Side" and the closing "Safe Face" are both ingenious and accessible, their surprising soundscapes counterpointed by indelible melodies and haunting hooks. Smoke & Jackal's EP1 is the sound of two talented friends allowing their music to freely go places no one could have anticipated.
"It was all about tone and vibe and what felt right in that moment," Brown says. "Not second guessing, just having fun in that moment."
"Coming together just worked," says Followill. "I think it's because we took such an easy approach to it, we didn't bring any egos to it. We just talked about each other's ideas, neither one of us got our feelings hurt. It just worked."
EP1 was produced by Smoke & Jackal, and engineered by Nick Brown. All songs were written by Smoke & Jackal. [Via Press Release]

Here's the upstairs.
We ambled through the shopping streets, and went to the cathedral. I'll blog more about that later, because I'm hoping to do a post a day in October to celebrate my fifth blogiversary, but it was lovely.
with good home-made coleslaw which is just about my only requirement with a burger and chicken and green salad - and then shortly afterwards it was our turn on the boat, the Lady of the Lake.
With her very amusing and informative guide. He was great.
One of the snippets of information he provided was that we were putting along largely powered by second-hand chip fat. There were surprisingly few deep-fried Mars Bar jokes.
Loch Katrine (pronounced without the final "e", like CATT-rin rather than Ka-TREEN) turns out to be the main water supply for Glasgow; it's always been a lake, but was turned into a reservoir in the 20th century.
Walter Scott was very familiar with the area and wrote the poem The Lady of the Lake around Loch Katrine; the paths he walked are now underwater.
Until recently, there were many sheep grazing on the banks, but after it was discovered they carry crypto they had to be removed because of the threat to the water supply. I gather some of them make their way back because sheep have homing instincts...
It really was a lovely boat trip.
The flags were particularly pretty as we came back into dock.
I don't quite know how to describe what happened after that... except for one word.
I grew up with them, in the north east of England; and when we set off they were starting to group; on the lake, they weren't all that much in evidence... But when we got back into the restaurant/bar, they were certainly happily flocking around in hordes. Generally the whole Swipe gesture was used to attempt to get rid of them, with no success whatsoever...
We were called down to the coaches, and as ever people got in gradually; the poor driver was trying to keep as many flying menaces out of the coach as possible but was having to open the door every minute or so to let more people in, with accompanying clouds of ickletinybeasties... I suspect the various threads on Ravelry worrying our across-the-pond cousins didn't help either...
Apparently, what you do when confronted with midges, as a knitter, is to to get into your seat and then develop your very own personal ethnic clapping dance. The Katrine Knit Tangle, maybe? It involves putting on one's seatbelt, and then a gyration including the destruction of any small flying insect in the immediate vicinity...
I was sitting next to someone who was suffering badly from coach-sickness throughout the return journey, (and who womanfully controlled it) - which was the only thing which stopped me weeping with sheer amusement at the Sound of So Many Hands Clapping to So Little Effect.
The noise made by it sounded like someone doing strenuous Creative Play with a class of 50 or so children with auditory difficulties. Later on, Nic and I re-enacted this for people on the Saturday night. (I haven't listened to her podcast yet - I wasn't aware of it before the weekend- ; I'm hoping she'll do the description better...)
Just for a change, nobody could possibly blame the Management for the beasties; we were absolutely and totally warned.
We had enough time for everything, it was relaxed; it was a really lovely evening.
And just for the record; as someone prone to slightly extreme histamine reactions to bites, and someone who gets bitten really badly; I'd been taking the vitamin B1 tablets for a good month before the event, and had sprayed myself all over with Jungle Formula before setting out, and had antihistamine tablets with me. I got away more or less unscathed. I had a couple of annoying bites on my scalp for a week or so, but that was about it. B1; highly recommended!

Need an idea for Mutual, family night, or a group date? This new site has you covered.
You're sitting in a presidency meeting with two items left on the agenda: (1) ideas for the next few Mutual activities and (2) ways to reach out to Taylor, who hasn't been to church in months. Now look at the two items again; perhaps the solution to each one is tied to the other—the Mutual activities may be exactly what you need to help Taylor and others feel welcome.
Now you just need some activity ideas that will interest Taylor. And the perfect choice may be waiting for you at the Youth Activities website. With over 165 activity ideas (and more being added regularly), the site can help you find something for any need. Just check out these cool features.
Huge Selection of Ideas
Quickly browse through activities in the following main categories to find one that fits your needs:
- Service
- Missionary work
- Future roles
- Temple and family history
- Communication and relationships
- Sports, camping, and outdoors
- Arts, music, and dance
- Physical health
- Spiritual strength
- Stake and multistake activities
Great Activities for Youth and Families
With such a wide range of activities, you'll find something that works for many settings:
- Mutual
- Family home evening
- Reactivation efforts
- Personal Progress, Duty to God, or Come, Follow Me support
- Group date ideas
Quick Search
Wondering what activities you could do with photos, scavenger hunts, or drama? Or maybe you know you want something on mission prep or Personal Progress. Just use the "Search" feature to type in keywords to help you find activities that fit.
User Reviews
Not only do you get the activity ideas themselves, but you can read reviews from others and see how they've adapted the activities to their needs. (See how one family created an adaptation for "human foosball.") You can post your own reviews or creative twists too.
Your Chance to Share
If you've participated in a great activity that isn't featured on the site, submit your idea and it may get published! Just click on "Submit Idea" near the top-right corner of the page.
Quick Sharing to Calendars

Planning Tips
Get great ideas to know how to use your activities more effectively with the "Plan with a Purpose" walk-through feature.
You Make a Difference
Maybe you think Mutual or other youth activities aren't really for you since you get a lot of other Church-related learning through seminary or personal and family study. But have you ever thought that others may need you there to help them? Youth activities are a great way to fellowship the less-active or nonmembers. They can also help everyone stand strong against temptation as they see the examples and gain strength from being with others—including you—who live gospel standards.
You're in the Driver's Seat
Elder Stanley G. Ellis of the Seventy said: "One of the great things about this site is that it puts youth in the driver's seat. Not only does it encourage quorum and class presidencies to take the lead in planning activities, but it also makes the needs and interests and abilities of the youth the center of that planning. Quorum and class presidencies are encouraged to find out about the youth they lead—What are they interested in? What do they have to offer? How do they need to grow?—and use activities as a way to bless their lives. That's true ministering."

Berlin: A German and an Austrian have been convicted of membership in al-Qaeda and sentenced to several years in prison.
Yusuf Ocak, 27, from Luebeck, Germany, was also convicted of being a founding member of the German Taliban Mujahideen and was sentenced to 9 years in prison.
Maqsood Lodin, 23, an Austrian of Afghan background, was sentenced to 6 years 9 months.
Both can appeal.
The pair met in July 2010 in Pakistan`s Waziristan region and were assigned by al-Qaeda to collect money and recruit members for the terrorist group in Europe upon returning there in the spring of 2011. Ocak also posted a threat video on the internet in 2009.
Ocak was arrested in Vienna and Lodin in Berlin in 2011. Neither defendant made statements during the trial.

At last weekend's Icons of Hollywood auction in Beverly Hills, Ca the Delorean featured in Back to the Future III sold for an impressive $541,200.
It may seem like quite a premium to pay but of the seven movie cars used during filming of the Back to Future movies this Delorean is one of the three still known to exist. Of those three this is the only one held privately.
Accordingly if you couldn't live without an authentic Back to the Future Delorean this was your chance. We're holding out for a functional hoverboard.

Feature Flick: 2014 Jeep Cherokee Goes Offroad
A crossover for the Rubicon Trail.
Official details on the 2014 Jeep Cherokee haven't yet been revealed, but, due to the new Cherokee's car-based underpinnings critics are already doubting the Liberty replacement's off-road prowess. To prove those critics wrong, the automaker has released a video that shows the new Cherokee take on tough terrain.
We don't see much of the Cherokee itself in the video, but rather, we get a view of the midsize SUV's beefy wheels going up a steep dirt road, through sand, and then onto a smooth boulder. We then get a shot of its underbody as the Cherokee climbs onto another boulder from a steep incline. The camera's perspective then switches to make viewers feel like they're riding shotgun; the Cherokee continues to climb the steep boulder, and at one point it looks like the Cherokee's hood is pointed straight up toward the sky. There's no audio, so we can't listen to the 2014 Cherokee's engine, but rumors suggest it will use a 3.2-liter version of the Pentastar V-6, and it may be one of the first Chrysler products to use the ZF-sourced nine-speed automatic transmission.
Jeep says the Cherokee is the most capable midsize SUV in its class, and we'll get a closer look when it debuts at the 2013 New York auto show next week.

NAA Names Six Aviation Leaders as Distinguished Statesman of Aviation
Aviation Volunteers Honored for Public Benefit Flying
Maj. Gen. Michael Collins Honored with 2019 Wright Brothers Memorial Trophy
Americans Honored with FAI Awards
United States Air Force Crew of Draco 42 Flight to Receive the 2018 Mackay Trophy
Awards & Trophies
For almost the entire history of powered flight, NAA has been the caretaker of many of the nation's and the world's most prestigious aviation awards. Part of NAA's mission is identifying and recognizing those who have contributed to the "art, sport and science of aviation and space flight."
NAA's awards program recognizes outstanding achievements across the entire spectrum of aviation from air sports such as Hot Air Ballooning to the most advanced technological achievements in the industry such as the International Space Station. The list of NAA award recipients represents a Who's Who of aviation and space - the best, the brightest, the most innovative.
Anyone can nominate a worthy candidate for our awards; just check the nominations guidelines listed for each award.
Air Sports & FAI
There are many different disciplines of flying that are represented by a variety of Air Sport Organizations (ASOs), which are the heart and soul of aviation in America. Nearly half a million people belong to ASOs in the United States, representing aerobatics, aeromodeling, ballooning, gliding, helicopters, ultralights and parachuting.
Part of NAA's mission is to encourage the sport of aviation. NAA recognizes the ASOs as the official governing bodies for their respective air sports, each of which belongs to the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale (FAI) through their affiliation with NAA. The FAI is the world air sports federation which oversees all air sport activity throughout the world, setting up world championship competitions and keeping world records in all disciplines. NAA is a founding member of FAI.
Ever since the Wright Brothers first lifted off in Kitty Hawk more than 100 years ago, pilots have tried to fly higher, faster and farther than their predecessors. Since 1905, NAA has been encouraging pilots to accomplish those feats.
The Contest & Records Department of NAA oversees and certifies aviation records in the United States, serving exclusively as the national authority for all aviation record-setting activity. The database of current national a world records is posted in this section.

The battle over the sale of wine in supermarkets today landed, however unexpectedly, on a local restaurant. The opposing camps used the occasion of a dinner at Yono's in Albany this evening to snipe at one another.
Tonight's 90-person dinner is in advance of a big state Capitol lobbying event on Wednesday, when 750 people from around the state will join with The Last Store on Main Street, a coalition of small businesses opposing wine sales in supermarket, to protest the proposed change in state law. They foresee mass closure of small liquor stores, which would have difficulty competing with supermarket wine prices, if the measure goes through.
Noting the choice of restaurant, Michael Rabinowitz, spokesman for the coalition* that wants wine sales in supermarkets, released the following statement:
If you look at the (Yono's) wine list, you will notice that 0% of the wines by the glass are from New York, 0% of the half bottles are from New York, 0% of the large format wines are from New York and less than 1% of the bottles are from New York. Given that Last Store on Main Street has spent so much time talking about the New York wine industry, it is shocking that they would hold their lobby day dinner tonight in a restaurant that holds the New York wine industry in such low regard.
Michael McKeon, spokesman for The Last Store on Main Street, snapped back:
We have had a special selection prepared for this event that features only New York state wines. Instead of finding that out, they stooped to attacking us. Unlike Wegmans and its restaurant, which barely has any New York wines in it, and unlike big-box and corporate stores that care only about profits, we took steps to make sure there were only New York state wines for this event.
The supermarket chain Wegmans operates a restaurant called the Next Door Bar & Grill, adjacent to one of its suburban Rochester stores; it offers 11 New York state wines, or 5 percent of its list.
Dominick Purnomo, sommelier of Yono's, told me:
My family and I have supported New York wines for the past 30 years. We continue to participate in the New York Wine & Grape foundation events, we have given seminars at the Finger Lakes wine festival, and we have donated our time and talents to the Northeast regional food bank's harvest dinner each September, which features exclusively New York State wines. For the past 2 years we have worked with New York State wineries in presenting seminars for the New York International Wine Auction at the Otesaga resort. For the past 4 out of 5 years we have given multiple seminars each year at the Pride of New York Harvest Fest.
Our wine list changes daily, and the amount of New York State wine on it ebbs and flows with the current menu. In our casual brasserie, DP, adjacent to Yono's and listed under the same liquor license, we are currently featuring three NYS wines by the glass, Amici Vineyard Cabernet Franc, Millbrook Tocai Friiulano & Ravines Riesling.
Finally, my family and I have never been involved in politics or spinning things but in the hospitality business.
*New Yorkers for Economic Growth and Open Markets is a statewide coalition of family farms, liquor stores, supermarket chains, independent food stores, grocery wholesalers and small businesses that includes the Business Council of New York State, the New York Farm Bureau, the New York Wine Industry Association, the New York State Wine Grape Growers, the Food Industry Alliance, the Empire State Restaurant and Tavern Association and the New York Association of Convenience Stores.

Can we trust smart cities? In part four of our Digital Communities quarterly report, we look at whether people can become sensors, sending and receiving city-related data.
Seoul, South Korea, spent millions of dollars embedding sensors in its main arteries in an attempt to capture real-time traffic data. It didn't work. The information was never accurate. But in 2012, the city installed a wireless payment system that uses GPS technology in 25,000 taxicabs. The information from the GPS sensors gave the city the real-time traffic information it always wanted, but at a fraction of the cost of embedding sensors in the road.
Installed sensors have been around for a while, but now cities are turning to mobile sensors to help capture valuable data to monitor traffic and the environment. For example, Chicago put GPS devices on every city-owned vehicle, turning them into instant traffic monitoring stations.
But what about turning citizens into sensors? In Santander, Spain, anyone can download a city-built app to their smartphone and use it to find out what's happening at venues they happen to be passing by. But the app also lets citizens upload information of their own, geocode it and send it to the city, so that others can share the information. The idea is to allow citizens to send as well as receive information that can become part of the overall data set. "It's kind of like a tech version of community watch," said Katharine Frase, chief technology officer of IBM Public Sector.
The more that people are involved with sensor-based projects, the better a city can understand the reality of what's going on, in terms of what people really want rather than what city government thinks its citizens want. "It's a way to capture the pulse of the city," said Carlo Ratti, director of MIT's SENSEable City Lab.
One recent project under way in Copenhagen involves turning bicycles into sensors. "We are turning them into mobile sensing units," Ratti said. "It allows you to collect data about your cycling activity and about your surroundings, creating a big pool of data that everyone can share from."
Some have cautioned against expecting too much from citizen-based sensor projects. But Ratti is confident that they will play an important role in the future of cities. "I believe that people will be the key actors in sensing, five to 10 years from now," he said. "The next stage will be based on bottoms-up sharing of data instead of top-down sensing as it's now done in many cities."

The Radha Krishna Temple album was produced by George Harrison in 1971. Two top 30 UK singles were released from it: Hare Krishna Mantra and Govinda. The reissue contains a previously-unreleased bonus track, Namaste Sarawati Devi.
Here's the full press release:
The dazzling range of music originally issued by Apple Records between 1968 and 1973, which is now the subject of an unprecedented multi-album worldwide campaign starting October 25th ' including remastered CDs (with bonus material revealed for the first time below) and Apple's first digital downloads ' will now be augmented by two additional titles: 'Come and Get It: The Best Of Apple Records,' the first commercially issued multi-artist compilation in the label's history; and 'The Radha Krishna Temple,' the self-titled album of devotional music produced by George Harrison.
'Come and Get It: The Best Of Apple Records,' a 21 track compilation of singles, ranging from the folk-rooted tunes of Mary Hopkin and James Taylor, and the energetic rock of Badfinger (also The Iveys) and Jackie Lomax, to the deep soul of Doris Troy and Billy Preston, will also be released in the physical and digital marketplace on October 25th 2010.
'Come and Get It' displays Apple's vibrant years of musical experimentation in full flower, from bona fide hit singles to the cult classics of the catalogue, as represented by brass band The Black Dyke Mills Band, Cajun collective The Sundown Playboys, and more. Hot Chocolate (as 'The Hot Chocolate Band') makes an appearance, as does Ronnie Spector, Bill Elliot & The Elastic Oz Band, Chris Hodge, Brute Force, and others.
Launched by The Beatles in 1968, Apple served as the new outlet for their own recordings as well as the music of an eclectic roster of artists who were all personally brought to the label by The Beatles (individually and/or collectively). In the revolutionary spirit of the times, Apple's utopian artist-orientated mission celebrated diversity in a friendly creative environment. The result was a rainbow spectrum of music, from folk, rock and soul to The Modern Jazz Quartet and the work of contemporary British classical composer John Tavener.
As Apple Corps Ltd. and EMI Music prepare for the upcoming 17 album CD and digital download release, it is a reminder that the introduction of an artist on The Beatles' record label was avidly followed by fans across the universe ' then and now. Each of the albums has been digitally remastered at EMI's Abbey Road Studios in London by the same dedicated team of engineers behind The Beatles' recent remastered catalogue releases of 2009.
Details of 'Come And Get It' and each original album along with newly announced bonus material are as follows:
1 Those Were The Days / Mary Hopkin
The multi-million selling debut 45 by Mary Hopkin was UK No. 1 for six weeks in 1968 and was produced by Paul McCartney, who discovered this 1920s Russian folk song in a London night club.
2 Carolina In My Mind / James Taylor
Taken from his self-titled debut album, this is the original version of 'Carolina In My Mind', cut in London in 1968. Issued as a US single, it features Paul McCartney on bass and George Harrison on backing vocals.
3 Maybe Tomorrow / The Iveys
The Iveys were brought to Apple by former Beatles roadie Mal Evans and 'Maybe Tomorrow' was a hit in Holland and a minor hit in the US, before the band changed its name to Badfinger.
4 Thingumybob / The Black Dyke Mills Band
Paul McCartney's theme tune for a 1968 British TV comedy drama series, recorded by the most famous brass band in the world.
5 King Of Fuh / Brute Force
Brute Force is a New York songwriter and this single was championed by John Lennon and George Harrison, but 'Fuh' rhymes with 'Uh', and 'the Fuh king' was therefore banned back in 1969.
6 Sour Milk Sea / Jackie Lomax
Jackie Lomax has a great blue-eyed soul voice that more than does justice to this otherwise unavailable 'White Album'-era song by George Harrison. Paul and Ringo provide rhythm and Eric Clapton plays lead guitar.
7 Goodbye / Mary Hopkin
Mary's hugely successful follow-up to 'Those Were The Days' was written by Paul McCartney, and features Paul providing his own thigh-slapping percussion throughout.
8 That's The Way God Planned It / Billy Preston
Billy Preston's breakthrough UK hit, reaching No. 11, features the stellar line-up of Billy on keyboards, George Harrison on guitar, Keith Richards on bass, Ginger Baker on drums and Eric Clapton on lead guitar.
9 New Day / Jackie Lomax
An original non-album Lomax 45 that was co-produced with Mal Evans, and single-handedly defines the Jackie Lomax sound: British soul meets R&B with horns.
10 Golden Slumbers-Carry That Weight / Trash
A powerful interpretation of two songs from The Beatles' Abbey Road, recorded by Trash, a heavy Scottish group that came to Apple via their producer, former Shadows drummer Tony Meehan.
11 Give Peace A Chance / Hot Chocolate Band
This completely re-worded British reggae version of John Lennon's peace anthem was brought to Apple in a one-off deal by the band that became hugely popular in the Seventies with a string of classic disco hits.
12 Come And Get It / Badfinger
Written and produced by Paul McCartney for The Magic Christian film starring Peter Sellers and Ringo Starr, 'Come And Get It' was a massive worldwide hit and the first record issued by The Iveys under their new name of Badfinger.
13 Ain't That Cute / Doris Troy
Soul singer-songwriter Doris Troy had scored hits before coming to Apple in 1969, and she and George Harrison wrote 'Ain't That Cute' from scratch in the studio — the first time George had ever written a song that way.
14 My Sweet Lord / Billy Preston
George Harrison produced this soulful, gospel version of his most famous solo song, which he gave to Billy Preston before he had recorded it and released it himself.
15 Try Some Buy Some / Ronnie Spector
Ronnie Spector, one-time Ronette and former wife of legendary producer Phil, recorded this George Harrison original in 1971. George later re-cut it himself for Living In The Material World, using the exact same backing as Ronnie's single.
16 Govinda / Radha Krishna Temple
'Govinda' is a Sanskrit hymn to Krishna, and was a UK Top 30 hit for the Radha Krishna Temple in 1970. Produced by George Harrison, who also plays bass and accordion.
17 We're On Our Way / Chris Hodge
In 1972, Chris Hodge, a young British pop singer with a fascination for UFOs, caught the attention of Ringo Starr who signed Chris to Apple. 'We're On Our Way' was recorded at Apple's own studio in the basement of 3 Savile Row, London, and was a hit in America.
18 Saturday Nite Special / The Sundown Playboys
'Saturday Nite Special' is a lover's lament sung in Cajun French by this cross-generational collective from Louisiana, USA, who came to Apple when their teenage accordionist sent in the song on a whim.
19 God Save Us / Bill Elliot & The Elastic Oz Band
John Lennon and Yoko Ono wrote this fundraiser for the defence in the famous Oz Obscenity Trial of 1971 and produced it too with Mal Evans and Phil Spector. Vocalist Bill Elliot later signed to George Harrison's Dark Horse label.
20 Sweet Music / Lon & Derrek van Eaton
New Jersey's Lon & Derrek van Eaton were one of the last acts to sign to Apple in 1971 and the first to make use of Apple's then state-of-the-art recording studio. George Harrison produced 'Sweet Music' and Ringo played drums.
21 Day After Day / Badfinger
The band's third single for Apple was produced by George Harrison, who duetted with the band's Pete Ham on the slide guitar solo. It went UK Top 10 in 1972, and peaked at No. 4 Billboard in the US, in the same week that Nilsson's cover of Badfinger's 'Without You' was at No. 1.
JAMES TAYLOR (1968) by James Taylor
James Taylor's debut album, recorded in 1968, includes two of his best loved songs, 'Something In The Way She Moves' and 'Carolina In My Mind'. Both are familiar to millions from the 1976 versions that open his 11 x Platinum Greatest Hits, but were first recorded for Apple Records in 1968. Here are the original recordings, alongside 10 equally strong others, made in London with a little help from top musicians and some baroque English strings.

Includes the Top 10 single, 'No Matter What', and the original version of the Ivor Novello and Grammy Award winning 'Without You', made famous by Harry Nilsson, and later Mariah Carey.

THAT'S THE WAY GOD PLANNED IT (1969) by Billy Preston
Billy Preston's debut album for Apple Records was his vocal album debut too. Before this Billy was renowned merely as a wizard instrumentalist. Here, his impassioned vocals help create one of the best soul records of the 1960s. Produced by George Harrison, That's The Way… expands Billy's palette of gospel and R&B to embrace rock elements brought in by A-list players Keith Richards, Ginger Baker and Eric Clapton.

Other guests include Billy Preston, Peter Frampton and Eric Clapton.
This Remastered CD includes the five Bonus Tracks that appeared on the 1992 CD reissue, plus an additional, previously unreleased, alternative version of 'All That I've Got (I'm Gonna Give It To You)', written with Billy Preston and issued by Billy as his third Apple single in 1970.

Among the many highlights is the one cover, George Harrison's otherwise unavailable 'White Album'-era song 'Sour Milk Sea', given to Jackie and featuring guest players including George, Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, Keith Richards and Eric Clapton.
This Remastered CD includes six Bonus Tracks, three of which are previously unreleased:
'New Day' / Jackie's second single for Apple, from 1969

This Remastered CD includes one Bonus Track:
'Yesterday' / previously unreleased version of The Beatles' classic
THE WHALE (1970) & CELTIC REQUIEM (1971) by John Tavener (a 2-on-1 CD)
Sir John Tavener was knighted by The Queen in 2000 for his services to music, and he remains one of Britain's most popular classical composers. Back in the late Sixties, John Tavener was championed by John & Yoko, and befriended by Ringo Starr. Apple's recordings of The Whale, his avant-garde oratorio, and Celtic Requiem, written for soprano, orchestra and children's choir, were his first ever full-length releases, and remain extraordinary examples of British contemporary classical music.
This remastered CD also contains two supporting pieces, 'Nomine Jesu' ('Name Of Jesus') and 'Coplas' ('Verses'), that were originally issued on the Celtic Requiem album in 1970, and were later reworked into the major Tavener composition of 1972 Ultimos Ritos. For this new CD, Sir John has re-presented The Whale as it was originally published in the score. Instead of spanning two tracks as per all previous releases, the oratorio has now been split into its seven discrete sections, allowing the listener for the first time to follow on record the individual elements of this early and most innovative work.
RADHA KRISHNA TEMPLE (1971) by the Radha Krishna Temple (London)
The latest addition to the 2010 Reissue campaign is The Radha Krishna Temple album, which was recorded by the London chapter of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness and was produced by George Harrison. The album is a collection of devotional chants and prayers to Krishna (another name for God) and to the movement's own divinely-inspired spiritual masters. It spawned two Top 30 UK singles, 'Hare Krishna Mantra' (No. 12) and 'Govinda' (No. 23), and said George: "It was the greatest fun of all, really, to see Krishna on Top Of The Pops". Krishna Consciousness can be defined as a "process of plain living and high thinking" that leads to spiritual knowledge, self-realization, as well as the greater goal of peace and happiness in the wider world.
This Remastered CD includes one Bonus Track:
'Namaste Sarawati Devi' / previously unreleased
