Review: 'A Not So Still Life'
Prospects will likely soon skew toward educational and arts-focused broadcast.
Prospects will likely soon skew toward educational and arts-focused broadcast.
Packed to the gills with human interest, this thoroughly engaging documentary premieres on PBS in September.
Playing the fest circuit after its Sundance premiere, pic might gain modest offshore theatrical and disc exposure.
Stylish "The Piano in a Factory" offers fitful entertainment value but little narrative cohesion or momentum.
Stephane Gauger's sophomore feature, "Saigon Electric," is brash, baldly commercial and trendy.
Sold to MSNBC Films for broadcast later this year (in a much shorter version), it's a tube natural.
An engrossing look at the benefits and perils of "medical tourism."
A modest, involving drama that hits few surprising notes but feels astutely knowledgeable about its subject.
"Almost Perfect" starts out as a romantic comedy, then gradually wends its way toward a more serious treatment of family dysfunction.
"The North Pool" will attract future productions, as it touches on topical issues while providing actors opportunity for a tour-de-force.
Two lonely people in the night -- and the next morning, and afternoon -- find one another in the Brit romance "Forget Me Not."

Clean Junkie (guest blogger, Andrea)
Getting organized – it's something that likely makes most cringe to think about. It can be overwhelming to know where to start, hard to find the time, and almost impossible to motivate yourself to do it. But, I have a few tips that will hopefully simplify things for you. Although Spring is behind us, it's never too late to get organized. Trust me…once it's done, you'll wonder why it took you so long to get started.
Some basic notes/ideas on your organization project:
1) Create an ideal 'work atmosphere'. Turn on some music that will keep you upbeat and focused on the project. Pour yourself a drink. Intermittent dancing is always encouraged.
2) Organize one area at a time. Break your project down into small areas. It always takes a bit longer to work through a project than you think, so keep it simple. If you put too much on your plate, you're likely to get frustrated because you can't finish everything.
3) Ask yourself, "How do I live?" This will help you determine how your space needs to function; ultimately, you can come up with a course of action that will accomplish just that. Stay realistic! As great as one idea might seem, if you implement something you can't maintain, you've wasted time, and still don't have a system that works for you. Keep your own habits and tendencies in mind.
4) Take the opportunity to purge and de-clutter. There is no better feeling than the sense of accomplishment that comes from lightening the load and ridding yourself of clutter. We've all heard the suggestion that we get rid of items we haven't used in over a year; I've found this to be pretty sound advice. Don't stress yourself out — follow the idea within reason. It takes a little bit of discipline, but it'll enable you to find and access the things you do use regularly with ease.
5) Take inventory. Getting organized is a good way to be reminded of what's in your house. Maybe you had a huge, Costco-size package of paper towels in the basement that you didn't know about. Save a little dough, and avoid purchasing things you've already got.
6) Recycle what you're getting rid of! Earn some cash by having a yard sale. If you don't have enough stuff to facilitate your own, see if neighbors will join you in a block-wide extravaganza. Have a clothing swap with your friends or family; my sisters looove it when I clean out my closet. Or, last but not least, donate to charity. Regardless of your opinion, someone out there wants or needs your old gear. Let them have it.
My latest project was a bedroom closet and armoire (above). If tackling your bedroom closet is on the agenda, here are some helpful ideas that should make things easier:
- Organize clothes by category (i.e. pants, shirts, skirts). From there, you can break it down even further. Organize jeans by category (i.e. skinny, wide-leg, straight leg) or shirts by sleeve length.
- Fasten at least 3 buttons on all shirts. This will help keep the shirt on the hanger, and prevent wrinkling.
- Swap out seasonal clothing. This will create accessibility for the current season's clothes.
- Don't hang sweaters. They'll quickly stretch out and become misshapen. It's better to button them up and fold neatly on a shelf or in a drawer.
- Use uniform hangers. This allows for more tidiness and keeps the clothes at the same level so that you can see everything.
- Extend your wardrobe. Break up suits and "outfits", so that you remember to wear them as separates.
Hope this helps! After you've organized once, you'll be far more likely to keep things spit-spot in the future.

At the last minute before Thanksgiving, we decided to join our friends, the Hottensens on their adventure to Nicaragua. Son Bobby is starting a brewery, San Juan del Sur Cerveceria, and thus another fantastic opportunity for a HottenKlopp Adventure. We had first heard of MUKUL Resort from Melissa Biggs Bradley at Indagare. We find that any recommendation that comes from Melissa and her globe-trotting staff is excellent, and provides access to the best insider advice. Recommending destinations that they have experienced themselves, they comb the world in search of the finest travel experiences. At MUKUL, we found one of those very special places.
From your first greeting by the enormously kind and helpful staff, to the breathtaking suites with private pools, hammocks, sitting areas and glassed in showers, to the skillful, native visual design of every aspect of the resort, you feel like you are staying at an old friend's grand casitas on the beach. We had the pleasure to meet the mastermind behind this sustainable resort Don Carlos Pellas and his lovely wife Vivian. He explained that he "is establishing his family legacy – a pristine natural sanctuary where you make authentic connections to the land, culture and people of Nicaragua. And in return, the surrounding community will benefit from the resulting improved quality of life."

KK's 4 Days in Nicaragua
Day 1. Fly into Managua, where the Hotel Plaza Colon will provide a driver take you to Grenada. This charming colonial town founded in 1524 by Spanish conquistador, Cordoba, and is one of the oldest cities in the Americas. Relax by the pool, stroll through Parque Central to Calle la Calzada, a street filled with music and cafés and enjoy a beautiful meal at one of the local haunts.
Day 2. Early morning walk to Lake Nicaragua departing by private driver, arrive at MUKUL RESORT for a sumptious lunch. Spend the day relaxing on the beach or by your private pool. Before you head back to your divine suite, take a quick trip to see the howling monkeys returning to their roost, just behind the 18th hole. Dine en plein air at the resort's restaurant and stroll the perfect sand beach in the moonlight.
Day 3. Early morning surf lessons. Then charter a boat to take you to San Juan del Sur about 40 minutes away. Stroll the streets and pop into the shops. Make sure to stop by the Brew Pub of San Juan del Sur Cerveceria, opening in January. It will boast a menu of local fare prepared in a unusual yet authentic manner. On the return cruise, snorkeling is the order of the day as the boat, equipped with all the gear, and will moor at a floating gazebo with nearby reef. Back to the beach to spa, surf, rest, or get in a little golf. The green of 18th hole is at the beach with a fantastic beach bar to watch the sunset.
Day 4. Do not leave without at least one visit to the SPA MUKUL, it is a paradise of six individual, private spa casitas, each harnessing a different ancient healing tradition, Secret Garden, Rain Forest, Crystal Temple, Healing Hut, Mukul and Hammam. Surf, sun, golf, hike, spa, or just enjoy the luxury of this resort which is becoming a must-go destination for those in search of a unique and private pleasure.
For more photos, please visit our Facebook Page.
While in MUKUL, we had the pleasure of meeting a very special person, Vivian Pellas. After suffering excrutiating burns and injuries from a plane crash, Vivian and her husband Carlos, created a foundation and hospital to treat children with burn injuries and congenital deformalities. To date 370,000 medical services have been provided free-of-charge to children. To see more about Vivian's story, please go to Vivian Pellas on YouTube.

1695T Black Magick
Video Playlist
Click the upper-left corner for a complete list of videos for the 1695T Black Magick.
Supro presents: Black Magick, a recreation of one of Rock & Roll music's holy-grail amplifiers. This all-tube, high-gain blues machine hearkens back to the dimensions, cosmetics and circuitry of the Supro amps from 1959, just like the one loaned by Jimmy Page to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Museum. In tribute to this legendary and extensively modified Supro combo, we've used the cabinet dimensions from a '59 Supro 2×10 and replaced the baffle with a 1×12 and armed this 25-watt combo, with a custom, British voiced speaker that was specially developed for the Black Magick amp.
With more gain on tap than any other Supro reissue, Black Magick absolutely rips for heavy blues and classic rock guitar styles. This amp's traditional, cathode-biased "Class-A" power section uses 6973 tubes to achieve the instantly recognizable midrange grind and phenomenal touch dynamics that define the Supro sound. A complete range of tones from warm cleans to heavy distortion can be accessed by simply adjusting the volume knob on your instrument. The signature Supro power tube tremolo adds footswitchable depth and dimension to this historic Rock and Roll machine.
The preamp found in the Black Magick features two channels wired in parallel, with independent volume controls and a single, shared tone control. The vintage-correct front-end topology of the original 1959 Supro combos has been streamlined in the Black Magick, with automatic linking of channels 1&2 when using only the first input jack. This flexible arrangement provides double the gain when used with one instrument and also allows for two instruments to share the same Black Magick or for the use of an A/B/Y box to achieve channel-switching on the fly.
- 1959 Vintage Supro Cosmetics and Circuitry
- 2 Channels with Parallel Link and shared tone control
- Output Tube Tremolo with footswitch jack
- 25 Watts Cathode-Bias "Class-A" Power Amp
- 1 x 12″ Custom Voiced Supro BD12 speaker
- 4x 12AX7EH
- 2x 6973 power tubes
- Gold Faceplate

- Black Rhino Hide Tolex
- Assembled in NY, USA
Black Magick Extension Cabinets
The Supro 1790 1 x 12 and 1791 1 x 15 Black Magick Extension cabinets are designed to match to the award-winning 1695T Black Magick amplifier.
Sized to fit perfectly underneath the Black Magick 1 x 12 combo, the 1790 and 1791 are partially open-back, vintage-style extension cabinets.
Loaded with Supro BD12 or BD15 drivers to match the on-board speaker in the Black Magick combo for even more mid-range punch and stage volume. These custom-made, high-power drivers were designed especially for the Black Magick amplifier using a specialty British cone, top-of-the-line suspension and an oversize ceramic magnet.
With either extension cabinet connected along with the combo's 12" internal speaker, the Supro Black Magick amplifier runs down at 4-ohms, developing maximum power from its Class-A output section.
The Supro Black Magick extension cabinets add considerable versatility for larger stages and pedal-based rigs where maximum headroom is required from a compact, vintage flavored combo.

X-Men 50-Lines Slot
X-Men 50-Lines Slot
General Overview
The X-Men 50 lines Marvel game is a branded slot from Playtech that features 5 reels and 50 total bet-lines. This X-citing and X-travagant game features a multi-level progressive. Instead of having a chance of winning just one jackpot, you have the opportunity to get your hands on up to four grand prizes. If you want to enter into your own battle of heroes vs villains, then this is a game for you.
Features and Bets
Coin values are .01, .02 or .05. The line bet ranges from .01 to .10. If you're playing all 50 lines, the minimum and the maximum total wager would be .50 and 5 respectively.
You can switch on Turbo Mode so that the reels will spin faster, and you can also switch the AutoPlay feature on to make the reels spin on their own without the need to click Spin each time.
Symbols and Bonuses
In this online slot, you will notice a variety of heroes and villains from the X-Men comic and movie. The hero symbols have a blue background, while the villain symbols have a red background.
This Marvel slot has something that is called an X-Feature. This bonus feature can be triggered when any of 5 hero symbols appear in the shape of an X in the middle of the game screen, which includes reels 2, 3 and 4. The hero symbols can appear in any order and in any combination. It can be 1 of each of them, or it could be 3 Wolverines and 2 Magnetos. This feature will pay you 5x your initial wager.
When you get 3 or more of the X-Men scatter symbols, you will trigger the Free Games. You will play this in Heroes and Villains Mode, but you will start in Heroes Mode. The latter is triggered when you get the Professor X Extra Wild on the 3rd reel during Villains gameplay, while the Villains Mode is triggered when you get the Magneto Extra Wild on reel 3 during play of Heroes Mode. What's more, the Heroes Mode can be played indefinitely, but the Villains Mode only allows 8 total spins.
As mentioned earlier, there are 4 Progressive Jackpots up for grabs: Power, Extra Power, Super Power and Ultimate Power. These are won randomly. The higher your bet and the more you play, the bigger and better your chances are of being entered into the game for your chance at securing one of the Jackpots. When you do enter the game, you will need to select squares from a 4x5 grid of 20 total squares. You will continue selecting them until you have turned over 3 of the same Jackpot symbols that will grant you the prize.
X-Men 50 Lines is a Marvel slot that's powered by Playtech. There are 25 more lines than its 25-line counterpart, yet both have 4 progressive jackpots and loads of entertaining bonuses. That includes free spins and additional features for more fun and more potential rewards.

Synchronized skydiving, or formation diving, is both a recreational and competitive sport that involves multiple individuals jumping out of an airplane and performing synchronized maneuvers before deploying a parachute. Competitive formations consist of either four, eight or 16 individuals whereas recreational formations can consist of as few as four to as many as several hundred individuals.
The First Parachute
Leonardo da Vinci is credited with the invention of the first parachute. It was constructed on a wooden frame in the shape of a pyramid. In the late 20th century, Adrian Nichols tested the design. Although it descended slowly enough to land, Nichols feared the frame was too heavy and might crush him upon landing, so once he reached a safe altitude, he disconnected the parachute and landed on his own.
History of Skydiving
Frenchman Andre-Jacques Garnerin is credited with making the first successful parachute jump from a hot-air balloon in 1797. During World War I the military developed parachuting technology as a rescue device for aircrews in emergency situations and as a way to deliver supplies to troops on the ground. It wasn't until World War II that parachutes were used for troop insertions into battlefields.
Synchronized Skydiving As a Hobby
A military surplus of parachutes following the end of World War II and former soldiers courageous enough to use them are credited with the rise of skydiving as a hobby. The term "skydiver" was actually coined in the 1950s by Raymond Young as competitions began to develop. Synchronized diving first appeared in the 1970s, when veteran skydivers began experimenting with ways to connect two divers during a free fall. Today, synchronized recreational skydiving is called fun jumping, and divers who participate call themselves "Bellyflyers." Fun jumps are performed for a variety of different occasions, including festivals and air shows, and as simply a hobby for belly-flying enthusiasts.
Competitive Synchronized Skydiving
The first commercial skydiving schools began appearing in the 1950s. With it came competitive skydiving. Groups of either four, eight or 16 divers have a certain amount of time to execute a predetermined sequence of maneuvers and formations. Points are scored based on technical performance. Each successfully completed maneuver is worth one point. During competition, each team is required to perform between six and 10 rounds. A free-fall videographer accompanies each jump to film the performance. The footage is then delivered to the judges for evaluation. In major events jumps are broadcast and judged live. There are several competitions held annually throughout the world. Regional meets offer competitors of all performance levels the opportunity to compete for national titles. Winners then go on to compete against national champions from around the world at either the World Cup or World Championships. The best teams are invited to compete in the World Air Games.

The Road
by Cormac McCarthy
Essay by Ted Gioia
Cormac McCarthy's fiction has always possessed an apocalyptic
edginess—so who can be surprised that
he finally wrote a novel about end times.
Or that he seems so much at home in the
bleak and ominous landscapes of a dying
planet Earth? His post-Armageddon
setting for
The Road
, from one perspective,
is merely an extension of the violent,
inhospitable borderlands he has been
writing about for decades
You can tell a lot about writers from
whether their eschatology comes with a
bang or a whimper. For Cormac McCarthy
there is only a long, drawn-out and
anguished grinding to a halt. There is no
Rapture in this author's vision of the final
days: everyone is left behind here. Except,
those who are already dead before the narrative starts—and,
McCarthy hints, they may be the most fortunate of them all.
A man and his son are struggling for survival in the aftermath of
some devastating cataclysm. McCarthy offers few details of the
events that led to this situation. His reticence on this account is
surprising, when one considers the other writers who have used
the depiction of dark future times as a springboard for political
commentary. Whether George Orwell or Ayn Rand, Margaret
Atwood or Aldous Huxley, the prognosticators have pretended to
talk about the future, when their real interest is in offering incisive
commentary on their present day society. Yes,
is a book
about 1948, as becomes all the clearer with the passage of time.
Brave New World
is, among other things, a guide to a now
departed world, whose naive positivism we can hardly imagine
nowadays. But McCarthy not only resists the temptation to offer a
political angle to his book—he even seems blissfully unaware that
this is even an option open to him.
Everything in this book happens on an immediate, personal level.
You are free to draw your own sociological lessons from it,
construct your own theology, puff up your own ideology—but that
will be your contribution, not the author's. McCarthy keeps focused
on the predicament of his protagonists, and never lets the reader
escape into the theoretical. And that is the source of this book's
unrelenting power.
The Road
, for all its brilliance, is one of the
most agonizing books you will ever read. It kept me squirming in
my seat, when I read it—almost every page made me distinctly
Yet I couldn't put this book down. Long before fiction learned to
philosophize, it focused its energies on circumscribing the most
basic elements of the human condition. The history of story-telling,
from the
to the last episode of
, is a series of "what ifs."
People have always been attracted to stories of ordinary
individuals thrust into extraordinary circumstances. McCarthy
pushes this convention to the limits. His father and son can take
nothing for granted—food, shelter, health, physical safety—and the
surrounding anarchy suggests that anyone else they encounter will
be looking to kill, maim, enslave, or perhaps even cook them up for
And then there is the journey. This is another staple of Cormac
McCarthy's fiction, populated by restless characters who constantly
head off into the unknown—an unknown that, given this author's
dark vision, is typically worse than the lousy place they just left
behind. In
The Road
his protagonists set out to the south, in the
direction of the sea. Here they hope to find some remnant of
civilization, perhaps a healthier climate, or an more stable and
secure environment.
The Road
has found a surprisingly enthusiastic audience given its
foreboding and, at times, gruesome sensibility. It won the Pulitzer,
made it into Oprah's book club, and was placed by
at the top of a list of the best books of the last 25 years.
Entertainment Weekly
? If this is entertainment, I think I will trade in
my big screen TV for a long stint in solitary confinement. This
gripping novel will force readers outside their comfort zones, and
ultimately succeeds without making even the smallest concession
to the formulas of escapist fiction.
Everything in this book serves to accentuate its bleak tone. The
prose is harsh, with few flourishes to soften the reader's progress.
The dialogue is choppy and utilitarian. The landscape—always
important in setting the atmosphere in McCarthy's books—hardly
more inviting than a battlefield or the dark side of the moon.
But even in this bitter world, a few noble things remain: a shred of
conscience, a willingness for self-sacrifice, the pull of blood ties, a
struggle for survival. They are intangibles, of course; nothing you
can take to the bank or eat for supper. But McCarthy—and this is
his great achievement here—shows how fiercely we hold on to our
personal metaphysics even after we have left everything else
behind. Not many novels force us to confront such matters—
certainly not in the raw and bleeding manner that Cormac
McCarthy does. For that reason, I suspect that
The Road
continue to mesmerize readers long after more compact tales of
apocalypse, with their neat political commentaries and helpful hints
for legislators, have fallen out of favor.

The day has come
I got to work this morning and did all the things I usually do- checked my email, figured out the stories of the day, posted some material online. I even had an assignment.
But the weird thing about today is I won't be coming back. All those emails carefully saved in folders? All those scripts I've written? I guess I don't need them anymore. Today is my last day at the radio station.
Thanks to my lovely colleague Ian Donnis for a great post about me today. You know you've made it when you're featured in the "On Politics" blog!
I won't get too gushy (I already did that in an earlier post.) I just want to say thank you and please keep in touch. There's no reason to say goodbye in this tiny state, especially because my new job will keep me in the same circles of folks who follow health care.
I'm keeping my Twitter account and my Facebook page so write me any time!
Thanks again for reading the blog!

Average Rating Your Review Formerly known as the private Berkleigh Country Club, this course (designed by Robert White of Carnoustie, Scotland) is now open to the public. And while the marketing phrase "championship golf course" usually means the opposite, Berkleigh Golf Club can legitimately claim such a title, having hosted Betsy King's LPGA tour event from 1996 to 2004. Walking is permitting on weekdays ($43 peak) and on weekends after 3:00 p.m. ($18). Junior, senior, and sliding twilight rates are available. Course Details
Average Hole Difficulty birdieXris - 8/21/11 This was my first, and most likely only trip to the course. I got there and decided to go to the driving range to warm up. First off, the driving range grass area is like 50x50 yards, yet they left the teeing area in what looked like an abused stretch of grass. I couldn't really find grass to hit off of between the ropes and outside, saw nothing but beautiful fairway to hit off of. Secondly, 1/2 the balls in my bucket were completely dead pumpkins, and 1/4 were cut, so this was truely just a "swing and get loose" sort of range. I couldn't tell how i was hitting them because not a whole lot felt solid except for the cut ones.... which didn't go anywhere anyway. The tees were fair to nice. At least they had grass on them. The greens were in sad shape though. They apparently had aerated them a week earlier and did a poor job at that. They were bare in some spots and overgrown in others, so getting the speed is not possible. Even some pitch and putt munis i play have even greens. They did not give a discount for the punch marks either, i might add. so i paid a full price $55 to play on this course (which is too much even if it WERE in good shape). There were 3 coolers with water on the course. I use the word "cooler" loosely, as the two that had water, had "shade temperature" water in them. I will also go so far as to say i wasn't keen on fighting the bees and flies for my water, since they mount the water coolers over the trash bins (which makes the water taste funny too). The cart they gave us was about 3 bumps from falling apart. It kept pulling to one side. Apparently most of the carts do that? or so i'm told. Also, while they have 3 or so people (1 at the counter and two or 3 manning the carts that i saw) out to "greet" you, there's not a lot of greeting going on. And that's something that can make up for a lot of shortcomings on a course- but it just wasn't there. It's basically "here's your cart, go hit the ball". i didnt' really get the feeling that they care about the business they get there. I was talking with some patrons before i left and they seem to have an OK view of the place, but then again, there's not a whole lot of other courses in the area, so it's hard to tell what's really a review and what's them just being brainwashed by lack of competition. Unless you live near this place, just save your money and go elsewhere. For me, it's not worth the drive, even though i go right past it, and it's DEFINITELY not worth their primetime rate. One good thing -- pace of play was actually good. we went off around 11 and got done in a little under 4 hours following people. Didn't really have to wait on any holes either. Bunkers are in good shape, fairways and rough are decent. Scenery is just like every other course i've played in PA. trees and grass. nothing special. The ponds and water hazards are stagnant and smell. not good to look at either, and i definitely wouldn't want to try and retrieve a ball from them either for fear i may catch my death.

I predicted that Santorum would gain traction, suggesting that evangelicals such as Gary Bauer and James Dobson would pick the Pennsylvania hard-core pro-lifer as the non-Mormon conservative to rally around. Well, Santorum actually hasn't gained that much traction, stalling a bit in New Hampshire after some testy Q-and-A's with college-age crowds.
Nevertheless, he has been anointed. Santorum actually would be in worse shape, if it wasn't for the strength of his opposition. Perry and Huntsman are both non-factors that may be outdrawn by the Stephen Colbert Political Stunt Machine, and while Gingrich has hurt Romney with his questions about Bain, he has also bled some support in the backlash, wherein GOP faithful fall for the false equation: "Gingrich questions Bain Capital business practices = Gingrich places capitalism on trial."
Which reminds me of something, visible after the ad.....

Babyfier, A.K.A. Experiment 151, is an illegal genetic experiment created by Jumba Jookiba. He is designed to throw entire planets into chaos by turning the population into babies; the antidote consists of two teaspoons of applesauce, one cup of milk, three mashed bananas, and a dollop of 100% Kona coffee. If left uncured, any de-aged victim will have to grow up all over again. His one true place is turning old dogs at the dog pound into adorable puppies, thus making them more appealing to potential adopters.
Lilo & Stitch: The Series
Experiment 151 was the 151st genetic experiment created by Jumba with Hämsterviel's funding. He was designed to turn entire civilizations into babies, throwing the planet into unsupervised chaos. 151 and the other first 624 experiments were deactivated and smuggled to Earth by Jumba during his mission to capture Experiment 626.
All of the experiment pods were released and scattered across the island of Kauai, with 151's pod landing on a sidewalk.
When the Ice-Cream Man tripped on 151's pod, it rolled across a nearby beach shore and into an ocean wave, activating the experiment. 151 then proceeded to turn the tourist into a baby, causing him to behave like an actual infant.
Later, 151 went on a rampage, turning others, including a construction worker, into babies before Stitch was able to capture him in a containment orb.
Lilo and Stitch then took 151, named Babyfier, back to the house and learned about his powers.
That night, Stitch released Babyfier on Nani so Lilo could be in charge for once. However, after turning Nani into a baby, Babyfier turned Stitch, Jumba and Pleakley into babies too. Babyfier attempted to turn Lilo into a baby as well, but the former was lured into a trap and recaptured.
Gantu, who had been searching for the experiment, arrived at the Pelekais' house the next day. Since Lilo's ʻohana was all babyfied and helpless, Gantu managed to take Babyfier back to his ship.
When Experiment 625 discovered that Babyfier turns adults into babies, he released Babyfier on Gantu. However, after turning Gantu into a baby, Babyfier attempted to do the same to Reuben, causing the latter to lock Babyfier out of the ship. Before long, Hämsterviel, who had been alerted, demanded them to retrieve Babyfier.
Meanwhile, the babyfied Jumba (who still retained the knowledge and mannerisms of adult Jumba) managed to find a cure on his computer that would reverse Babyfier's effects. Lilo despaired when she saw that one of the ingredients for the antidote was a dollop of 100% Kona coffee, which only adults were allowed to buy.
Outside with her infantile ʻohana, Lilo tried coaxing a passing couple to buy her the required coffee before Babyfier turned them into babies. Lilo, the babyfied Nani, and the babyfied Stitch chased after Babyfier as he went on a second rampage, turning countless victims throughout Kauai into babies.
Meanwhile, the babyfied Jumba and Pleakley traveled to Kiki's Coffee Hut, where they found several bags of 100% Kona coffee on a shelf to make the remedy for undoing Babyfier's effects.
Later, the babyfied Stitch and Gantu tracked Babyfier down to a playground, where the two fought over him while bickering, with Stitch winning. Babyfier was then recaptured before Jumba and Pleakley (back to their original ages) arrived with the antidote. With Stitch's help, all the babies on Kauai except Gantu were turned back into adults.
Babyfier was then found a one true place at the dog shelter, where he turned old dogs into adorable and more adoptable puppies, effectively giving them a second chance.
It is presumed that the babyfied Gantu was somehow turned back into his adult self, while Reuben was forced to babysit Gantu in the meantime.
In "Ploot", Babyfier was one of the second team of experiments (along with Finder and Drowsy) formed to try and stop Ploot. However, Ploot was easily able to defeat them, forcing the three experiments to retreat.
Leroy & Stitch
In the film's opening, Babyfier can be seen waving hello to Lilo, along with Snooty and Amnesio.
Later, the first 624 experiments, including Babyfier, were rounded up by Leroy and taken to a stadium to be destroyed. However, Lilo, Stitch, Jumba, Pleakley, Reuben and Gantu arrived before the experiments could be destroyed.
Babyfier participated in the following battle between the experiments and the Leroy clones by turning Leroys into babies.
However, the Leroys soon gained the upper hand in the battle, but were defeated when Lilo, Stitch, Reuben and several other experiments performed the song "Aloha `Oe", which caused the Leroy army to shut down due to the original Leroy's fail-safe.
Stitch! anime
Babyfier made an appearance in Season 2 of the Stitch! anime along with Hammerface, Link, Spike, and Woody. He makes a second appearance in Season 3, reprogrammed by Hämsterviel to transform his victims into toddlers instead of babies (and appropriately renamed Toddler-fier). He left Stitch in charge of several schoolchildren whom he turned into toddlers, including Yuna herself.
- Although Stitch was not born as a baby (being a genetic experiment), Babyfier was still able to turn him into an infant.
- Babyfier's pod color is white.
- Babyfier is described by the experiment computer screen as, "Experiment 151. Primary function: Infant maker. Change the victim into their infant form."
- Babyfier's tail appears in the online game Jumba's Lab.
- Babyfier bears some resemblance to Mew from Pokémon, even having the same designation number, 151.
- In the anime episode "Link-age," Reuben states that Babyfier's favorite type of sandwich is puréed carrots.

Leonard Cohen Live from London
Mon, 09/21/2009 - 8:00pm
In 2008 Leonard Cohen, the influential singer/songwriter whose career spans four decades, embarked on his first tour in 15 years. Fans and critics alike hailed the show as a "once in a lifetime experience." Recorded live on July 17, 2008, at London's 02 Arena, one of Europe's largest indoor venues; Leonard Cohen Live from London airs Monday, September 21 at 8 p.m. on WXXI-TV(DT21.1/cable 1011/cable11). During the television special, viewers will be able to call into WXXI at (585) 454-6300 or 1-800-295-WXXI to enter a drawing for two tickets to Cohen's concert at Playhouse Square in Cleveland on October 25.
For more than 40 years, Cohen has been regarded one of the most important songwriters of our time. His songs have set a virtually unmatched standard in their seriousness and range. Sex, spirituality, religion, power — Cohen has relentlessly examined the big issues in human life, always with a full appreciation of how elusive the answers can be to the vexing questions he raises. But those questions are the substance of his work, as well as the reasons his songs never lose their emotional force. Documentaries, awards, tribute albums and the ongoing march of artists eager to record his songs all testify to the contribution Cohen has made to what one of his titles aptly calls "The Tower of Song."
The program fully captures and re-creates the extraordinary show that earned Cohen more than 80 five-star reviews for performances during his fall 2008 UK tour. "A unique, soul-stirring event, surely destined to be remembered as one of the great shows of the year," said the Manchester Evening News.

Lahore: 50 Muslim clerics of the Tanzeem Ittehad-i-Ummat in Pakistan issued a fatwa on June 26, declaring that the marriage of transgender individuals is acceptable in Islam. However, this fatwa was not without its set of qualifications as only those transgenders who have "visible signs of being a male" could marry a woman or a transgender with "visible signs of being a female" could marry a man.
Underlying this qualification is a certain degree of antipathy towards homosexuality as the clergy has historically been hostile to the rights of homosexuals. This is further perpetuated by the broader feelings of homophobia that are prevalent in Pakistani society, and which have forced the country's gay community to live in constant fear and secrecy. The plight of transgenders is similar to that of homosexuals notwithstanding that in the case of certain transgenders, the two are the same.
Hence, it is indeed good that, at the very least, a debate has been started regarding the rights of transgenders, and this can pave the way for more meaningful debate that addresses homophobia and antipathy towards transgenders in Pakistan. According to the Wall Street Journal, Zia-ul-Haq Naqshbandi, the chairman of Ittehad-i-Ummat Pakistan, said, "We need to accept them as God's creation too. Whoever treats them badly, society, the government, their own parents, are sinners".
The deeply stigmatised transgender community was only granted equal rights in 2012 and homosexuality remains criminalised. As a result, transgender individuals and couples face abuse from mainstream society, receive insufficient protection from authorities – even facing harassment from the police – and are often forced into begging, prostitution or dancing to earn a living. Last month, protests erupted when a transgender woman was shot in her home as well as when a transgender activist died after being refused medical treatment after being shot. Over the past two years, over 45 transgender people have been killed in the Peshawar region alone.
While this fatwa is some measure of good news, transgender activists say that the document takes too narrow a view of the transgender identity and does not address the aspect of homosexuality or the rights of individuals who have undergone sex change surgeries. "I don't quite understand it. They've said trans men can marry women, and trans women can marry men. The transgender identity is nowhere," said Bindiya Rana, a rights activist based in Karachi.
Activists also say that this fatwa, which is not legally binding, is not nearly enough. "This is the first time in history that Muslim clerics have raised their voices in support of the rights of transgender persons," said Qamar Naseem, another transgender activist. "But we have to go further for transgender people and the country needs to introduce legislation on it".

[quote:Anonymous Coward 865798:MV8yMjI4ODM1XzM3Nzk2MDg2XzgzODdGNTA=] [quote:shyrlymyrly:MV8yMjI4ODM1XzM3Nzk1OTY0XzY1RDFBNzkz] Well thank you Septenary Man. :) I'd like to know more about your alien abduction. I have to agree, that some come with peace, but they don't come without a purpose, they need to give some message. From my understanding people claim that we've been created by aliens, to erase Christianity and other religions and to boost New Age movement. Actually, we don't know when they are telling the truth and we can't check on them. While Christianity has all the answers for me now. I'm quite doubtful about them. They have given lots of misinformation to channelers, from bad astronomy to blatanly false claims. For now I have seen only pretty mainstream youtube videos where these ET's lie to people. And most of the viewers accept these lies not looking deeper into things. Maybe it's better if we don't talk to them and ignore them. It's very obvious to me how they are connected to the New Age, New World Order and occultism. They are spiritual beings, I don't think they come from another planet. When I say spiritual, I mean beings not of flesh but some other material. And from my understanding they can materialize or hypnotize people. [/quote] I don't talk a lot about it, because of so much mis/disinformation on the topic, it is almost impossible to get anywhere with discussions about it. Here is one I wrote down. There was more to the experience, but this is the gist of it. I have had visitations by Greys and Mantis. One weird thing, was that once the mantis type came, I never had another Grey visitation. The mantis has always been very positive experiences for me. [quote:Anonymous Coward 865798:MV8xNjAxODM4XzI3ODAxOTM4XzlFMkZDQ0Y0] MANTIS Extremely gentle. Very 'motherly' in nature. Timid. Mantis only comes individually. I've never had an experience where 2 Mantis were there, unless it occurred in the parts i don't remember. Which is quite probable. It is a 'she'. The 'feeling' she emotes is totally different from Grays. I know why people are scared of Greys, and think they are bad...they are much different than us. She seems to show me a lot of things...this is going to sound weird. I think it was the second time she came, I remember her showing me how 'they' dematerialize. I went through the process as well. It was a 'field' of some sort...like a field of energy. I remember putting my hand in first, and seeing my fingers just...disperse into millions of colorful miniscule spheres after they passed through. It felt REALLY good too...like a euphoric energy. The last time she came was about 9 months ago now. I was awake when she manifested into the room beside me. God, the experiences are so awe-inspiring. NOTHING I have ever lived through comes remotely close to it. Anyway, there she is beside my bed. I couldn't move real good. I wanted to touch her, to feel her. The experience is like half dream, half real...so I wanted to touch her...feel her physically. I asked to touch her, but I said it in my head, and I didn't know how to 'say' it. So, I made an image in my head of 'touch'. lmao, so she reached over and tapped me on the chest, above the heart, 3 times. Fucking so exciting...I wish to God I could explain the feeling of interaction like this...I kind of laughed to myself and put an image in my head of ME touching HER. Suddenly I knew I could move my right arm. So, she bent over and I reached up and touched her shoulder. I slid my hand all the way down her arm! Real slow...soaking the feeling of it in, trying with all my heart to make sure I wouldn't forget how she feels. Then, I made it to her hand. I HELD HER HAND! I held an alien's hand! Then, she 'told' me (no words were spoken, I just 'knew') to lay back. And the most incredible, euphoric, indescribable, sexual energy just blossomed inside of me. It was so incredible, I don't know if it lasted seconds or hours. I knew it was some type of 'bonding' that was taking place. She trusted me enough to touch her. She KNEW I wouldn't hurt her, and when I didn't and had no desire to hurt her in any way, she created some type of bond with me. Not only had I passed a test, [i]but she had too![/i] [/quote] [/quote]
