'Hoppy anniversary': The Brewers Taproom celebrates one year in Encinitas
The Brewers Taproom will toast its one-year anniversary Thursday, July 26 through Saturday, July 28. Chris Duncan opened up the tasting room in
"It's been really fun, we're having a blast," said Duncan, a self-described "beer nut" and former homebrewer who left a background in the healthcare and pharmaceutical business to pursue his passion for great craft beer.
As the revamped Encinitas Village Square continues to grow (coming soon: donuts!), Duncan said he hopes the Taproom will also continue to grow. He said every day a newbie comes in who lives in the area and has just discovered them —"There's still a lot of people who haven't heard of us yet."
The Taproom will celebrate its birthday weekend with its first-ever brewery collaboration, the special release of Hazinitas, a hazy IPA (India pale ale) they collaborated on with Dos Desperados Brewing in San Marcos. The "insanely crushable" 7.2 percent IPA is hopped with Citra and then dry hopped with 22 pounds of 100 percent Vic Secret Hops—the Taproom will have a bunch of kegs of Hazinitas on tap, pouring $4 pints all anniversary weekend.
As part of the weekend celebration, guests can enjoy $5 pints Thursday through Saturday and free pizza from Flippin Pizza from noon to 3 p.m. on Saturday (one slice per beer while it lasts).
With 25 taps, The Brewers Taproom always has a wide variety of styles on tap, from pilsners and pale lagers to porters and stouts. The Taproom only orders up one keg of each brew and rotates in a new one when it's kicked.
"Our beer is always changing and that's what our regulars really like," said Duncan, who is Cicerone certified (like a sommelier but for beers) as is all of his staff — they can expertly identify all of the different flavors in a beer and better educate customers on beer styles and history.
Duncan said his number one rule is that the breweries on tap have to be independent—that is his way of supporting small breweries.
"The whole reason I started this taproom was because I saw how challenging it was for small breweries to get their beer into restaurants, bars or grocery stores because it's so competitive and they don't have a lot of resources," Duncan said.
Their taps turn over quickly so a lot of different beer goes through the taproom. Duncan has dedicated five lines for "roomies": They will always have a beer on tap from Stone Brewery, Modern Times, The Bruery, Lost Abbey and Burgeon Brewery, one of Duncan's favorites as the owners are local, La Costa Canyon High School graduates.
Duncan said the biggest trend in beer right now is hazy IPAs also called "New England style," made in response to the West Coast style of hoppy, and strong, clear IPAs. New England-style IPAs use fruity strains of yeast or different oat grains that contribute to the hazy characteristics, giving it a unique texture and mouth feel.
"They are called 'juice bombs' because they literally taste very juicy," Duncan said. "We have dedicated a line to always have a hazy IPA on. That's really been the one that moves the quickest for us."
Since opening a year ago, Duncan created a mug club for regulars, called "Muggers." The taproom has an old-school time clock and people have to punch in 30 times in 90 days to become a part of the club and get their mug engraved. So far 48 Muggers have claimed their mugs and there are still two spots left as the club will be capped at 50 members.
The Taproom is not allowed to fill growlers by law but they do have a selection of bottles and cans to go. While they don't serve food, guests are welcome to bring in food—Brewers Taproom will also have food delivered for customers as well.
The Brewers Taproom is located at 1456 Encinitas Boulevard. Hours are Monday from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m., Tuesday through Thursday from noon to 9 p.m., Friday and Saturday noon to 10 p.m. and Sunday noon to 9 p.m. Check out what's on tap at thebrewerstaproom.com.

Rockberry Skins: Eva - Sasha
Posted by Chic Aeon in shopping, showcase review, skins on Monday, August 25, 2008
So before I post this :D -- here is my new skin disclaimer. I will not STOP blogging for skin designers.
These skins appear to be good quality. I have been to the shop and it appears businesslike. The creator of the skin didn't just pop into the world. This is what I know. We all like something different and so it is the buyer's responsibility to look carefully at demos and see how they fit THEIR avatar before purchasing.And with that said -- here is Eva.
Eva comes in various skin tones. I was sent Natural and Tan. This may be a bit darker for their names than the skin you are wearing. It is quite obvious from the vendors which skin would be close to your choice of color. Above is Eva in Natural. Of the six makeups I have, I will show you a few -- both in natural and tan versions. They come shaved and regular.
Eva in Natural Tones.
Eva in Tan Tones.
I personally like the naturalness of the eyebrows and the darker lipstick versions. I love the LONG built in eyelashes. This of course is taste. The nose didn't fit exactly right on my avatar but some tweaking may easily have fixed that. The skin tones worked for me and I liked the earthiness of the colors.
Sasha (below) has a younger look, less dramatic lashes, and perhaps a more sensitive face. My perceptions of course.
Sasha in Natural.
Sasha in tan.
Find these skins and others (including dark versions) at ***[RockBerry] Style Skins and C. There is also a free model shape available.

@SenJeffMerkley I want to request you to intervene to stop the cruel persecution of so many mind control victims across the world. Here I have written very briefly about it for your review:https://forum.wilmott.com/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=101453 …
I wish you a good day.
Ahsan Amin
When I went to psychiatrist N?s psychiatric facility on 27th April, I was sitting at the sofa and was waiting for the meeting with the psychiatrist N. About six people came to me and forcefully gave me an injection and starting beating me. They literally continued to beat me and I continued to beg them to stop. They were very violent with all sort of slaps and blows on my face as I was sitting and they were standing. The beating lasted for more than twenty minutes and then they tied my hands and legs very tightly and put me on a bed and gave me another injection. I continued to ask them to loosen the knots but they continued to make fun of me. I was totally surprised since Dr. N had behaved very nicely in the previous meeting held at 20th with my mother and myself and I was sure she would declare me mentally sane on this meeting. After I was kept tied for about half an hour, a new guard came and opened my hands and legs and said that they would keep me at the facility for three days. The next day my medication in the form of pills started and I was also given two more injections. I was given about nine pills at night and about eight pills in the morning. I was still not given the opportunity to meet the psychiatrist N, and I was told several different things by different people including that psychiatrist N had gone to America, and she had gone to Islamabad. About three days into my treatment, I saw through the glass walls that psychiatrist N was interviewing her clients in her office. When I mentioned it to the staff, I was surprised that next day psychiatrist N had the glass walls treated and it was made dull so nobody could see through the glass but psychiatrist N still did not see me. After seven days, I was asked to meet psychiatrist N, and she said that she was unaware of the beating as she was in a meeting something that nobody could ever believe in their wildest imaginative parts of the brain. Psychiatrist N also assured me that I had no schizophrenia but it was a case of some mania. I was very surprised since I was not doing anything including my work very seriously in those days. I was just haphazardly devoting time to various activities. I am also known as the coldest person in house and I also have good relations with everyone while everyone else has some serious fights with others in our family. Psychiatrist N had to concoct some excuses to give me very large doses of medicine. Her staff continued to say that we are giving you drugs so that the effect of other drugs given to you by previous psychiatrists decreases while psychiatrist N had prescribed more antipsychotics of any other doctor I ever had before. I would write the details of drugs in a later post.Another acute problem I am facing is that my computers were taken in custody by the psychiatrist N?s staff and the computers that were working better with less gadgets on them remained in custody and they installed more devices on them to change my work and create problems for my research. I would request Americans that I have been sharing my research with everyone previously and I could have made large money out of some of that research but I still decided to distribute everything freely and this was the case even ten years ago when I had made Libor Market Model web and I had freely distributed my programs. I would request Americans to press upon their government to not change my programs and let me continue with my research. This is one activity that I would request Americans to ask their government to refrain from. If any American could help me with this, I would be very thankful to them and consider it their great deed for me. I would request American government again to not change my programs in anyway. I will be thankful to you guys if you could do this for me.They also continue to use gases on me and the gases settle on the body and when I Take a shower almost everyday, the water that comes off the body is dark black. I would again request Americans to ask their government to avoid the use of gases and let me live a natural life as a human. Again I will make this appeal to Americans, I am not a bad human and I do not wish anything wrong to your nation. I have used very different language here but that is mainly because I started to lose control after sixteen years of persecution. For about ten years into my persecution, I had not even told people at Wilmott about my persecution at all and I just thought that this bad patch of my life would simply just pass away. Most good humans would realize that this is not the fate of any human(especially the good ones) to be treated like this ever. Please help stop this activity if you can.

Loretta Lynn has postponed three September shows following a fall that affected her Sept. 3 concert at her ranch in Hurricane Mills, Tennessee.
A message on her website says her injuries are not serious and she is scheduled to undergo minor surgery. Doctors have advised her to stay off the road until she makes a full recovery.
The dates postponed until further notice are Friday (Sept. 9) in Renfro Valley, Kentucky, Saturday (Sept. 10) in Newell, West Virginia and a set at the Bristol Rhythm & Roots Reunion in Bristol, Tennessee on Sept. 17.
Fans are encouraged to visit her website for updates on the rescheduled events. The next shows on her tour schedule are two nights at Gruene Hall in New Braunfels, Texas on Sept. 23.
The country legend released her first album in 10 years titled Full Circle on March 4 six weeks before her 84th birthday on April 14. Her daughter Patsy Lynn Russell and family friend John Carter Cash produced the 14-song collection, which opens with the first song she ever wrote, "Whispering Sea" and closes with the Willie Nelson duet, "Lay Me Down."

My Garden Day 36
So it has been more than a month and there is some definite growth happening.
Yesterday I got around to doing a bunch of things that needed to happen. I weeded both halves, and finally mulched the second half. I also put dirt around the leeks again, and mulched around them. I was out there today to water the tomatoes in the morning and the leeks almost could do with more dirt again today, but I will leave them a bit.
I also redid some of the mulch on the first half, cos it had become a bit sparse. As well as mulching around the carrots on the first half. So all that took a while because on both halves I had to work around the existing plants.
Then my parentals arrived and so I gave them a bit of a tour and mum showed me how to break off the bottom sprout on the tomatoes, cos it wouldn't produce fruit. I think she gave it a name but I forgot it.
I really need to tie my tomatoes to the stakes that are there, the problem is there are 6 plants, some with two main sprouts that would need tying and I only have 6 stakes. Hopefully it will be alright though. I would love to have a big garden and be able to stake them using concrete reinforcing wire, but I think I have said that before…

If you run a company, you might always be looking for new methods to improve the efficiency of your workplace and new ways to bring money in to your office from your business. Although methods like more advertising and branding will work well, it might be a good idea for you to look in to your office itself and the staff that work for you. You might not notice it at first glance but if your staff do not like each other or if there are underlying grudges that prevent them from wanting to work together, there could be a drop in the productivity and efficiency in the work that they are doing in the workplace. On the other hand, if you were to get your staff to get along well and if they were generally very close, they would be able to work better together and bring out more money on the long run. Like the piece of a puzzle that fit together well, your staff need to work together and help each other. Of course, this is a lot to ask. At a workplace, most people are interviewed and hired at different times. Each of them come from different schools, different classes, different backgrounds and have different upbringing and by joining an office, they are literally being thrown together with a bunch of strangers and forced to work with them whether they like it or not. It is more than likely that there will be conflict and disagreements, even if they are not spelt out loud.
A day out for your staff
One of the best ways to get your staff to be friendlier with each other is to give them a day out where they will get to know each other on a personal level and outside of the working environment, they might be able to find some common interests or common ground. You could organize some best corporate team building events in Singapore that they can partake in while they are out that will help them to learn the values of working as a team.
You can simply take them to a team building venue where they can spend the day together, relax, play games and have a nice meal.
While admittedly, this will be an extra cost for you and the company, you will find that doing this will certainly increase your team's ability to work together. They will help each other and even complete each other's tasks in the event that the other person is unable to do so.

Is Ceramic Cookware Safe? A Guide For 2020
Ceramic coated cookware is the 'New Kid On The Block' in the world of non-stick cookware and of course, begs the question – "Is it safe?" what are the dangers of ceramic cookware?", "Is it any Good?".
Of course, it is essential that we automatically view any new product on the market regarding cookware with some suspicion and therefore question, firstly, the safety of its use to our health and secondly is it as good as 'they' say it is.
We want to know how it compares with other products that have been in use and on the market for years simply because with improved technology in testing these products more thoroughly, we are being bombarded with 'Cause and Effects' of health issues, as was the case from aluminum cookware and latterly Teflon non-stick products.
A little history about other types of cookware
Before we delve into Ceramic Cookware – let's look briefly at the history of some of the more commonly used cookware past and present.
Aluminum cookware
Our older generations were brought up with Aluminum cookware, it had been around for a long time and was very popular because it was cheap to buy and conducted heat very well.
Then in the 1960's safety concerns began to arise when it was discovered that large amounts of aluminum was found in the brains of Alzheimer patients thus laying suspicion that this material was possibly the causing factor – from this material leaching into the food through cooking and being absorbed into the body.
The result was that many alternative 'safer' cookware surfaced on the market such as Stainless Steel, Porcelain, Glass and Iron.
Teflon cookware
In the meantime, as early back as 1938 Teflon (polytetrafluoroethylene or PTFE) was invented in association with the DuPont company and the Teflon trademark registered in 1944. By 1951 Teflon was used for commercial bread and cookie baking but due to potential problems associated with the release of toxic gases from overheating, the company avoided the consumer market.
It was only in 1954 a French engineer developed Teflon further and in 1956 Tefal cookware was launched for consumer use.
But again the question arose. – how safe is the Teflon non-stick cookware?
Studies are now underway – but not yet proven that the chemical used in making Teflon Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), has been linked to cancer in laboratory animals, and possibly linked to elevated cholesterol, thyroid disease, and reduced fertility in people.
But in defense of Teflon, this remains "suggestive" and not proven as PFOA can be found in all other materials. No research has actually shown that the use of Teflon-coated cookware will raise the level of PFOA in our blood level; in fact, Scientists are still researching how PFOA is getting into our environment as it has also been detected in our water supplies
EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) are continuing with intensives studies to find if there is, indeed, long-term health effects associated with PFOA. (read our article – the dangers of Teflon)
So don't be hasty to throw out all your Teflon based non-stick cookware just yet as there is no conclusive results from studies currently being carried out.
Is ceramic cookware safe?
It is a new material now being used for non-stick cookware and generally considered 'The Safest' and more importantly most environmentally friendly as they do not employ chemicals of questionable safety.
The question for us to ask is 'Why?' and how well does it work. Is it up to what is promised so let us look at the latest facts on this new product.
As quoted from a diligent person
" I personally use ceramic since it cooks evenly and doesn't leach chemicals. I also have cast iron and stainless steel and use them occasionally, but even safe cookware options can be problematic. I avoid traditional non-stick and aluminum pans completely". You can read more on ceramic vs teflon here
The positives of Ceramic Cookware are:
- It is safer as it is free of PTFE Polytetrafluoroethylene and PFOA Perfluorooctanoic Acid
- It is environmentally friendly
- Ceramic coatings come in a wide variety of styles and colors
- Used correctly, there is absolutely no need to line the pan with oil or butter as food will not stick if cooked correctly.
- Are easy to clean as most leftover food is easily wiped away with a wet cloth.
The Ceramic cookware is effective for easy cooking and cleaning due to its coating of silicon dioxide and, the hydrophobic and olephobic encapulated therein – a compound common in ceramic cookware.
What is the meaning and function of this compound?
- Silicon dioxide is a chemical compound – an oxide of silicon or silica most commonly found in nature as quartz.
- Hydrophobic and Olephobic – The literal translation of hydrophobic is"Fear of water" and olephobic "Fear of oil But in commercial terms it means they effectively resist water and oil.
With the recent boom in the last 5 years of polymer touch-based displays and screens there became a need for a substrate to resist fingerprinting which would cloud the users view of the display and reduce the effectiveness of the information of the display.
This is where these two compounds became the solution and now used in much other application for its self-cleaning and non-stick properties.
In Ceramic Cookware it's the combined three compounds, Silicon-oxide, Hydrophobic and Oleophobic that makes this cookware desirable as a robust and/or abrasion resistant self cleaning success. There is cookware like scanpan cookware that is very sturdy and very safe to use
Further advantages of Ceramic Cookware are:
- There are also ceramic pans available with dimpled patterns for increased non-stick efficiency
- This compound holds heat so efficiently that when removed from the stove, the pan still radiates heat energy and adds flavour to the food
- Pots can heat up to over 27000 degrees – higher to melt most metals
- You can take hot pan and put into cold water and it won't crack
- They are resistant to scratching and denting
- It is non-toxic.
- BUT – like and 'glass object – don't throw it around as it could easily break
There are arguments that ceramic has a shorter life span than other traditional non stick frying pans but this has not been proved nor found conclusively.
we also advice that you should not put your ceramic pots and pans in the dishwasher to hale then last longer. This does not include Scanpan
How To Use and Care Ceramic Cookware
Some have found that cooking without oil, butter or cooking spray is preferable and argue it to be the correct way to cook with both Teflon and Ceramic cookware as it can dramatically extend the life span of both.
If you do use oil (or butter) to cook, it is most important to wash off all traces of the cooked oil otherwise layers of the oil will build up thus diminish the non-stick properties of the pan or pot and cause premature aging.
When cleaning, care must be taken. Do not scrub viciously, rather soak the pan first with soapy water and then wipe away the residue with a soft sponge or cloth.
The best solution is cooking without and oil or fats at all.

Easy Ways To Optimize Your Site For SEO- Quick Overview
October 17, 2010 Leave a comment
Are you losing your mind and pulling your hair out trying to crack the code of search engine optimization? Look, I have been there so let me enlighten you on a few easy techniques I have picked up along the way to help you get more traffic and make more sales through your websites and web 2.0 properties.
Fist off there is no magic formula to SEO no matter what guru says so nor is it a complicated process expressed by so-called SEO experts. Basically it comes down to common sense on how things work on the technical side of things online.
First off is keywords. If you are driving traffic to your websites via keywords you ought to know how to utilize them to the max for best case scenario. Using the keyword in your domain, description, title, and tags is very important but do not over use them in the body of text. One time in bold is enough and have your main keyword supported by other keywords in your text but most importantly write naturally using slang and proper language associated with your topic. There are SEO tools to help point this out if you are using a blogging platform in case your eyes miss it. 🙂
Next is competition. can you compete against a giant keyword term? You could but it will take a very long time to catch up, so best stick with things you can compete with. Usually staying under 100,000 competing pages is key to ranking on the first page. Look at your competition and take note of their domain age, page rank, and backlinks. This will determine what it will take and how long it will take to out rank them.
And then there is backlinks. This is a very important step to insuring you rank in the top 10 or even #1! It is not how many backlinks you have but where they are coming from. An example: 25 links from PR5 to PR9 sites will outrank 10,000 links from junk low page rank sites, period. I should also point out that these links should be relevant to your niche. If you have a site on "SEO" then most of your links coming in should be from SEO type sites and not "basket weaving" for instance. This way you can easily become untouchable in the rankings.
Good luck!!! 🙂

Title, department and job responsibilities: Associate Professor, Psychology Department, responsibilities: teaching (Psychological Inquiry, Food: Pasture, Table, Body and Mind, Biological Bases of Behavior, Cognitive Processes, and Advanced Applied Neuroscience), research (stereotypes of aging, aging and cognition, memory self-perceptions, and the impact of neurological disorders on cognition), service. I am also a clinical neuropsychologist at the Rehabilitation Hospital of Indiana.
Years at Butler: 8 (starting my 9th)
Most memorable academic experiences at Butler: I have so many, but here are a few: (1) touring England and Scotland with the Butler Chorale and Dr. Shasberger during winter break of my sophomore year; (2) sitting outside in a circle on the grass on a sunny day with Dr. Cornell and my Change and Tradition class learning about Methodism and the Industrial Revolution; (3) spending a Saturday morning dissecting a sheep brain with Dr. Woodruff; (4) taking my first "drop the needle" music identification test in Dr. Briscoe's Beethoven and the Immortal Beloved honors course; (5) giving my first research presentation about flashbulb memory at the Butler Undergraduate Research Conference under the mentorship of Dr. Bohannon.
Projects/research you're currently involved with: This year my students and I will study: how mood affects mind-wandering during cognitive tasks; how the aging process changes the impact of emotion on attention and memory; whether texting or voicemail has a bigger emotional effect and which is more memorable; how personality affects the stereotypes young adults apply to older adults; and whether involvement in team sports versus individual sports differentially affects attention, concentration and distractibility. In addition, I am currently collaborating on a study at the Cleveland Clinic Foundation about how surgical interventions for epilepsy affect children's objective and subjective memory and a study at the University of California, San Diego Alzheimer's Disease Research Center investigating how informing older adults about their genetic risk for Alzheimer's Disease impacts their memory self-perceptions and objective memory abilities.
What current intellectual or creative question are you thinking about these days: I most frequently find myself contemplating the evolving role of a college education in this age of technology when most facts are available at the touch of a few buttons on any Internet-linked phone or computer.
What do you enjoy most about teaching: I love the first day of class when students are eager to learn what you and the class will be like. I love the last day of class when I learn what the students have mastered during the semester that they would not have known if they had not been in my class. And, I love every day in between when students are actively engaged in the process of becoming more educated about psychology and the world around them. I most enjoy instilling a love of learning in students through interactions with them both within and beyond the classroom, and the rewards come in students being in touch months or years later with an email about a connection they have made between something they heard on the radio or television and something they learned in my class or, even better, a brief update about the direction their lives have taken since our paths last crossed.

Yes it's been a while.
I'm not going to go into reasons… Let's just put it down to Timey wimey wibbly wobbly stuff.
Insidious (2010)
Ok, there was something about this movie, which made me want to watch, even though it did begin as one of those, "Stereotypical," Humans move into new house then hauntings begin films. Also the ending was captivating enough that I went on to watch the sequel- Insidious 2.
So, family moves into new house, same as some other horror movies you have that annoying over protective mother, not sure if it's just me, but I know if this was real life and happening to me it wouldn't be the ghost driving me out of the house. There's two kids, who are probably too young to know what is going on, but the film uses this to their advantage and there is the, "I'm all in charge dad," Oh also there is a baby, which brings out more maternal insanity for the mother.
The interesting thing for this movie is, it's sort of plays on people like me who believed this was going to be a typical, "They have moved into a haunted house film." Which I loved. The new house is sort of a red herring as the hauntings come from the family itself, coincidence they just happened to move. Things start to unravel as one of their sons, slips into a, "Coma which isn't a coma," then a psychic power gift is brought into the film along with the reason for why these demons are terrorizing the family.
Insidious, plays as a horror movie as it has demon possession and the threat to this family, there is creepy scenes where the ghosts and demons are playing with the family, leaving doors open, talking through baby monitors and this movie also brings to the scene a demon dimension which has to be entered.
As a fan of Supernatural (TV series) I also saw a hint of that in this movie, not just from the demon- Although as far as I remember there is no demon like that in the show- but there is the people they call in to help deal with these, "Hauntings," Two guys come in to see if the house is haunted, and for me they reminded me of the early days of the two guys in, "Ghostfacers."
Favourite thing about this movie- the fact that they have managed to give the important factors- the demons, psychic/supernatural power side and the background history of the family enough attention and still made a pretty good movie.
Worst part of the movie- The demon filing his nails, with a hardcore filer. I just can't…. it's like the equivalent of a serial killer reading Cosmo before going on another killing spree.
Annoying thing about the movie- the title- for me- is an awkward spelling word, I have to go back and sort out the red lines through this post, the fact that the sequel has the same name doesn't make this any better.
Amusing part of this movie- The creepy thing from Saw (movies) makes an appearance-as the director and writer of Insidious is also the writer and director of the Saw movies. In the same scene the name, "Leslie Borchard," Is written on the board, Leslie was the hair stylist in this movie.
Horror movie rating- 3/5
Overall movie rating- 4/5
A Cabin in the Woods (2011)
This movie, my first thoughts in the opening few minutes was, "Okay…" In horror movie ways, it reminded me of one of the first scenes of Resident Evil before the virus gets released and then as we all know, crap goes down. The movie has a massive plus, actor wise. Chris Hemsworth (Thor) and Jesse Williams (Avery in Grey's Anatomy) But anyway I digress as I'm here to talk about horror movies not nice looking actors who – Possibly- have to die in this movie.
There are five main characters, who some what resemble the characters of he Scooby Doo series, unfortunately as the roles of the hippy and the leader are taken Jesse Williams will have to take up the role of Scooby Doo. It's even more Mystery Inc as it isn't actually a proper haunted place, the weird scene at the beginning that involves a office building are the people controlling the supernatural stuff.
Overall, it is a good movie and it doesn't involve hauntings! Which is a change, it's more of a human sacrifice movie done with style and design. It does as the title says involve a Cabin in the Woods and it is from that creepy dwelling things start to get a bit more, "Horror movie," and people, the typically portrayed college students, start to get killed off. Although I found it more funny than terrifying but the clever thing this movie does is you have the people who control the things find this thing funny too, so in a way this movie has something people can agree on.
Best part of the movie- When all the monsters get unleashed
+ The unicorn stabbing a person
Worst part- There is a trick part of the movie where you get the impression one of the characters dies (There is blood shown in one of the sacrifice tablets) but then that character turns out to be alive. The movie doesn't tell exactly what happened and why there is blood in that tablet and why that blood got cancelled out.
Horror movie rating- 2.5/5
Overall movie rating – 3/5
Quarantine (2008)
This one was recommended to me and I soon realised this was a movie which in the past I had started mid-way though and then left because lets just say if you don't come in at it at the right point it can just seem like a lot of people running screaming in a building , which doesn't sound like a good horror movie at all.
Quarantine is an infection outbreak zombie movie, the infection started off as rabies in dogs then turned to slowly infecting humans. It tried to be like these hot chick zombie fighting movies by dressing the main lady in tight clothing but I guess to make this more horror than action the woman doesn't know what she is doing.
There are two main characters- a News reporter- Angela, who I have mentioned when this movie starts going starts panicking allover, and the camera man who is possibly only seen twice in this movie. One good thing about this movie is the perspective it is shown from as the film is shown through the camera/camera man which is constantly on record. I know that sort of thing has been done before but movies such as Paranormal Activity showed more amateur filming while this one the camera man is more stable.
It's slow to start off as the film starts with the news crew first doing a documentary on the fire department- Angela goes about being all giggly and what's this whats that? When if you know a journalist you would know a proper one would have done research. It gets to a point for 5 minutes in where you could just leave for another 5 minutes and you wouldn't miss much, as much as you hope the fire station doesn't end up being haunted or anything horror movie style.
The movie finally gets going when the firemen gets called to an apartment building, and take the news crew along, for a screaming woman. I'm not entirely sure why the fire service was needed- the police called them in, they get there and no one even knows what state this woman is in, in Britain the police would have just handled it broken down the door then called for other services. Good thing something like Quarantine wouldn't happen here. The old lady soon turns out to be creepy and begins to bite people and the CDC (Centre for Disease control) Sure are quick in this movie as they appear and seal off the building before anything is reported.
It then turns out to be a typical zombie movies where the infected people and rats turn on the living till no one is left and the non-infected fight for survival hiding from the zombies and trying to get out even though they are locked in the building thanks to the US Government, who have also cut off the people inside the building's communication with the outside world.
Best Part of the movie-
When one of the fire men comes back as a zombie and he is walking about with his leg practically hanging off.
When the camera man kills a zombie using the camera- after this we do briefly see the camera man for the first time as he cleans the lens.
Worst Part- Although it is better done than these other movies that tell the story from the victims point of view with a camera there is still an amateur feel to it where you can't take the movie seriously, lots of things seem over done and I questioned the intelligence of the characters a lot- it takes nearly the entire movie for someone to remember there is a way out what the CDC might not have blocked off.
Overall Movie rating- 2/5 stars
Horror Movie rating- 2.5/5 stars
Annoying Quote-
"I told my mum I wanted to be a fire man, tonight I am living the dream."
…Darling, you're not exactly living the dream as you are a woman to be living your dream you need a sex change.

Ski Tests & Reviews
Whitedot Skis
Whitedot Skis "The One" 2009-2010 production candidate
Whitedot Skis
"The One"
(124-89-119) 19m radius @ 180cm
2009-2010 production candidate
(click here for LARGER version)
Manufacturer Info:
Whitedot Skis Ltd.
91-93 Green Lane
Cookridge LS16 7EY
Whitedot Skis is one of two ski companies in the U.K. (both born last year, testing their skis this season for retail sales next year...both led by guys named Andrew...go figure..). White Dot is a small company with only a few guys who want to make only three (maybe four) models of different skis, but make them well. They designed all their own skis, specified their own construction and materials and decided to outsource construction to another country in Europe to conserve cash right now and concentrate on R&D to get the first skis the way they want them. I tried their park & pipe ski ("The One") and their cambered powder ski ("The Preacher"). They were still tweaking the rocker and stiffness specs as of January, 2009 so I could not try their "Redeemer" rockered pow ski, but they said their final pre-production version should be ready by the end of February (maybe..)..I'll let you know as soon as I can get on a pair. Anyway...nice guys making some good skis at a decent price. Plus, they have dots...lots of dots...
Usage Class:
Park & Pipe / All Mountain Twintip
Your Rating (with comments): (1="get me off these things"->10="I have to own a pair")
A solid, excellent quality P&P twintip ski with plenty of zing, very good edge grip and manouverability. Not as burly as, let's say a Lib-Tech NAS P&P, but more accurate with more precision feel. Not as soft as a Palmer P01, but stronger. Very versatile. Great color. This one will sell a ton once people try it. Mount it slightly rear of center "freestyle" for an all-mountain frontside ski capable of any rowdy tricks you might want, or mount it on the center pivot point for terrain and park navigation. Not for heavyweights, muscleheads, high-speed or whimpy skiers...hits the majority of users for this category right on, I think.
Technical Ski Data:
BASE: ISO highspeed, Graphite infused die cut
CORE: Okume, Poplar Laminate
SIDEWALL: ABS EDGES: 2mm steel, 360 degree
CAMBER: 12mm
TOPSHEET: Screen Printed Nylon
CONSTRUCTION: Graphite infused ISO Highspeed
base/2mm edge/Okume poplar core/Carbon Fibre,
Kevlar Weave/Nylon Topsheet
Price: €460
Pre-Skiing Impression:
Excellent resurrection of orange topsheet color. Excellent quality of fit-and-finish. Snappy rebound, decent dampening, torsionally strong with smooth flex, no "hot spots", but decently strong body. Really attractive price of €460.
Test Conditions:
Cold, dry, powder snow 1 day old, boot-deep powder, tracked-out boot-deep powder and nicely packed groomers with small bumps on the sides if you look for them. Les Grand Montets - Chamonix, France. January 2009.
Test Results:
I skied these after riding powder boards all morning and found them to have very quick response at the helm without being squirrely. Very quick edge to edge, grippy anywhere along their length, capable of quick cuts, sustained edging, pops, changes of direction and bumps just right. Mounted on freestyle-center, they got "interesting" and "self-directional" at GS-like speeds if ridden too flat for too long (not a good idea on centermount P&P skis anyway...but I had to try it to see when they would get wandery). I could dash in and out of cut up powder on the edges of the groomers, in and out of the bumps (they want to give you instant feedback in the bumps...not a bad thing...just be alert...they are lively..just the way you want them to be), make direction changes on-demand in the blink of an eye, and if you load them up, they spring with plenty of control and land quietly and stay where you plant them. Comparing these to the Lib-Tech NAS P&P we tested before, this ski is more precise, and not as burly or demanding. It you are muscular and need a heavy-timber weapon, you might overski the "The One". If you are looking for a softie twintip, "The One" will probably make you pay attention too much because it wants to cut, carve and pop...not lounge-around. If you're not at the extreme "muscle-head" nor "floppy-ski" end of the spectrum, "The One" will probably do a great job for you. Demo a pair and make your own decision. The build quality appears to be above-average, and the materials look very solid, so I think they will hold up well. I think park & pipe freaks will find them really fun (I am NOT a terrain park guy...have someone else review their aerial prowess...) and responsive, and definitely eye-catching in orange with white dots. I also think this would be a great teen-twenty-something all-mountain frontside ski if mounted just behind the freestyle centerpoint to give it some stability at higher speeds. "The One" will suit lots of skiers looking for a responsive, well-built twintip freestyle ski that can cut up the hill nicely. And, you can give your cash to a small ski company instead of one with huge corporate overhead and attitude. "The One" is priced for the people - and that's a nice thing to see.
Analogies: (this ski is like...)
A Cooper Mini "Turbo S Clubman". Quick, nimble, sporty and hip, but still ample enough to do some errands around town when you want some time off from driving intensely. Enthusiast drivers can get it to do some great gymnastics with ease, while more casual sport drivers can take it all over the place and still keep a wide grin. Cool and very responsive.
Self-Description of Skiing Style, Ability, Experience, Preferences:
Expert groomed-surface carver, "old-style" race inspired, "foot steerer" with fairly sensitive edging feel who loves the feel of powder floating and banking. Loves to hold long arcs with lots of pressure on the downhill ski (you know the type), but also loves the feel of both skis on-edge leaving tiny railroad track edge tracks. Not an instructor, but 10 year coach for youth race team in New England (bulletproof is the norm).
Several companies provide discounts or donations to support our ski testing program.

So you know those forty-or-so extra points that Weight Watchers gives you for treats and stuff throughout the week? Well, yesterday I used A LOT of them. Twenty-two to be exact.
To give you some perspective, my daily points target is twenty-nine.
It was just one of those days. First, I burned off an outstanding amount of my body's fuel in cycling class. My hunger then became violently enhanced by menstrual cravings and an immediate need for sugar and Mexican food. Naturally, Kenzie came to my aid and suggested just the thing: dinner at Nuevo Vallarta followed by forty-five minutes of thoroughly browsing the Christmas section at Fred Meyer. After returning home, I was somehow still inclined to eat. I did not resist a helping of my mom's Berry Streusel Pie, nor did I regret it. The pie, along with half a cup of vanilla ice cream, cost me 12 points.
But this is all okay because WW is designed for days like these. Weight Watchers wants me to use my extra points on days like these.
After such days I find it's smart to plan ahead and begin to manage my points for the rest of the week. Since I have already used so many PointsPlus, I need to look for meals that are lower in point values, but that will also keep me satisfied. And that's where my new recipe comes in. Namely, it's Spaghetti Squash.
The recipe I'm going to share with you isn't really a recipe. It's more like I'm just telling you how to cook and prepare spaghetti squash on a very basic level.
I first heard of spaghetti squash when my friend Sarah, knowing how much I love pasta dishes, told me that it's a great substitute for pasta that she often serves with meat sauce and parmesan. She even bought me a squash that I, regretably, let go to waste. It wasn't until my friend Jordynn invited me over for dinner that I got to try it, but I was sold after the first bite. The texture is quite different than that of pasta; it's a bit crunchy. But the flavor is mild enough that it's vegetable-ness is disguised under a light coating of olive oil, a pool of red sauce and a sprinkle of parmesan cheese. It was indeed an agreeable replacement for pasta that I have and will continue to incorporate into my regular-basis-recipes.
Spaghetti Squash with Marinara – 7 Points
The dish, as I prepare it, is worth very few points and is thus very good when you need to make up for indulgent eating that happened earlier in the week. Since fruits and vegetables are worth zero points in the PointsPlus program (yay!!!), you don't need to worry about tracking the squash. You need only track what you use to season and garnish it. As I mentioned earlier, spaghetti – like squash – is great with meat sauce, but is just as good with plain marinara. (I would share a meat sauce recipe with you, but do not yet have experience in making one). I should also add that spaghetti squash stores just fine after it's been cooked. Put the remaining squash into a bowl covered with plastic wrap or in an airtight container and store up to 2 days.
- 1 small spaghetti squash
- 1 tsp olive oil
- 1/2 cup marinara
- 1/4 cup Kroger parmesan cheese, shredded
- salt
- pepper
- basil (optional)
Preheat oven to 375° and position oven rack to center position. Place whole squash in a shallow baking pan. Prick the squash on all sides with a fork or skewer to prevent from exploding. Bake in oven for 1 hour or until flesh is tender.
Meanwhile, heat marinara in a small sauce pan over low heat, stirring frequently.
Once cool enough to handle, cut squash in half lengthwise with a knife and remove seeds. Using a fork, gently comb out the strands from the squash and transfer to a large bowl.
Place the desired amount of squash into a bowl and drizzle with olive oil. Stir in salt pepper to preference. Pour warm sauce over the top of the squash. Garnish with parmesan and basil.
Enjoy the rest of your week!

Hey there. It's after midnight and I'm still up packing for college, so I figured I might as well give you this week's Wordy Wednesday now, while I've still got internet access and am at least 50% awake (although that percentage is fading fast). Sound good? Good.
[Disclaimer: Reminder while you're reading Cadence that this is an incomplete first draft of a novel I began writing for Camp NaNoWriMo this past June. It's had no editing whatsoever, and I wasn't exactly spending time on making it high-quality (let's not forget, for example, how I wrote the first 11,000 words in one sitting). It was a NaNo novel, so just be warned about that. There will be typos and awkwardly worded sentences and weirdly dramatic moments and all that fun stuff. I apologize in advance, and thank you, you wonderful reader, for putting up with the errors. You rock.]

Under the harsh Texas light, Louis Kahn's building is exactly what it seems:
a tour de force of explicitness. The subject of the building is twofold: art, and what makes art manifestlight.
Seen from outside, Kimbell Art Museum looks like a group of barrel vaults running horizontally across the flat terrain of Fort Worth. Five of the vaults are closed at the ends to form galleries, offices and storage space; their roofs, sheathed unexpectedly in lead, glisten like old pewter in the sun. The sixth is open, a portico opening generously toward the street...

Attention All Volunteers...
In order to better organize volunteers and to improve student safety, Wake County Public Schools is requiring all volunteers to register at a Wake County School. There will be computers available during the school day in the media center to allow volunteers to register.
All parents and visitors MUST check in at the front office and obtain a visitors badge before walking around the campus or entering buildings. Visitors should expect to show proper picture identification when signing in or checking out their children. Please make sure your name and signature is complete on the back of your child's locator card. Children cannot be released to an adult NOT listed on the Locator card. Locator cards go home the first week of school and need to return to the main office immediately. Should an emergency arise, this is the first source we use to contact parents.
PTA members must wear their PTA identification badges and check in at the front office.
We have numerous community partners who volunteer in our schools each day, working one-on-one with students to help them reach success. Volunteers serve as tutors, mentors, and business partners, providing valuable support to our schools.
We urge members of the community to get involved in our schools to help us better serve all of our students. Once thought to be the province of parents, our schools are eager to involve the entire community including individuals, senior citizens, college students, businesses, churches and synagogues, community groups and others in support of education.
Volunteers for academic achievement
Many schools utilize volunteers to help students improve their reading, writing and math skills. A designated school volunteer coordinator will match a student that needs additional help in one or more areas with a trained volunteer. Having time to volunteer during the school day can be essential. However, special consideration may be provided if there is an additional opportunity to work with the student before or after school.
Other opportunities to participate
People who want to help children will find many ways to volunteer in the schools. They help in the classroom, on the practice field, in the office, in the library or in the computer lab. Schools need adults to help personalize learning for students and help children see where today's classroom lessons apply in the community.

Outside, on Sunday, it was a balmy, perfect New York fall evening. Within, we were wrapped in the cocoon of the Frick Music Room. Pallade Music is a Baroque Ensemble based in Montreal. The four performers play the baroque violin, the baroque cello, the theorbo and the harpsichord. The program was dominated by Telemann (1681-1767). Esteban LaRotta played the theorbo, a lute with a long neck extension, about six feet long. I wondered about the stories LaRotta could tell about getting the theorbo on and off planes and trains and in and out of cars.
Supper was at Persepolis, a charming Persian restaurant. I ordered an odd but delicious appetizer that consisted of cooked diced beets, yogurt, walnuts and raisins. Had someone given me that recipe, I would never have gone near it. Wrong, yet again, and the beets dyed the yogurt a lovely pink.
You can't go home again. Right? I was a fan/camp follower/ groupie of Charles Ludlum's Ridiculous Theatrical Company. I even went to Ludlum's funeral at St. Joseph's. I have never laughed so hard in my life as I did at Galas and The Mystery of Irma Vep. The little theatre rocked with the screams of laughter. I'm not exaggerating. Ask anyone who was fortunate enough to see the great Ludlum and his partner, Everett Quinton in action. Penguin Reg Theatre is presenting Drop Dead Perfect at St. Clement's with …. Everett Quinton! St. Clement's is composed primarily of stairs. A friend and I climbed up the stairs to the theatre, climbed down more stairs and panted to our seats as the curtain was parting. Quinton is great in drag and a very funny man, but Ludlum was the engine. Drop Dead Perfect is a dim memory of what had once been briefly at Christopher and Seventh Avenue South.

Gingham Girls
May 21st, 2014
While checked patterns used to be found more often at a rodeo than on Rodeo, with fashion we can always expect the unexpected. Gingham is the latest trend to walk right off the runways and into our closets. Here's how to work the look.
Keep colours simple...
If you want to avoid looking cowgirl-esque, opting for a black and white check is the way to go.
Layer your heart out...
Gingham is a great trend to try for winter because it looks fab layered underneath block colours with just a hint of gingham at the sleeve or collar.
Go Bigger…
The bigger the checks the better - jumbo squares look more modern and less schoolgirl.

Career background
After a career as an academic researcher I craved connection to land and nature. I completed a GradDip. in Horticulture at Burnley (2007) and immersed myself in the positive energy that growing plants and being a small part of the natural cycle of life and renewal offers. I have worked in the industry as a gardener, in nursery retail (Botanical Creations and Kew Nursery) and landscape design and consultancy (Kew Nursery Garden Maintenance); learning all about plants, sustainable gardening practices, and sharing the therapeutic benefits of gardening.
Teaching children
In 2013 I had the fantastic opportunity to teach gardening to K-3 students as the Community Garden Facilitator at a prestigious Jewish IB school in my neighbourhood (Mount Scopus Memorial College). It was a joy to share my passion for nature and gardening with young children – by this stage I was also a mother of a young child starting Primary school, and had been encouraging her to experience nature and gardening.
I believe this is my calling – my natural passion, ability to engage young children and connect them to their surroundings, inspiring in them a sense of curiosity and wonder for nature.
I am a world traveller, first travelling to Germany as an exchange student when 16. Always studying languages, I began my career as a linguist and endangered language field researcher whilst completing a MPhil in linguistics (ANU, 2002). Travelling to remote places gave me an amazing opportunity to live and work with different cultures in Laos, Papua New Guinea, and work on endangered Aboriginal languages of Australia. I documented endangered languages such as Nyaheun, Jru', Sapuar and Oi (Mon-Khmer languages of southern Laos), Jawoyn (Katherine NT) language materials, and travelled to the highlands of Papua New Guinea to spend time with the Benabena tribe. I immersed myself in learning languages, cultural practices, beliefs and everday experiences with the land and environment. I appreciate how interwoven language, culture and the environment are in the human world, and have experienced firsthand how the loss of any of these has detrimental effects on our health and wellbeing.
Mission – connect with nature
In my teaching experience and career as horticulturalist I have been constantly surprised by how many families in the current generation don't have gardens, or if they do they don't use them. Children as a result are initially scared of getting dirty, touching worms or insects, or trying new things such as homegrown produce or edible bush foods. Science is beginning to tell us that regular experiences with nature leads to physical, emotional and spiritual wellbeing. In a world of depression, stress, allergies and worry about the future we need to connect to nature more than ever!
My natural curiosity and eagerness to share my knowledge is contagious. I have the ability to make anything fun, and under my care it's not long before your child's eyes are opened to the wonders of nature. You will hear gasps and chirrups of glee as discoveries are made. Deep learning happens when connections to own neighbourhood parks or past experiences are shared. Connecting with nature through nature play activities involves elements of maths, literacy, second language, chemistry and physics, and I can teach you how to use nature and your outdoor environments as a classroom for learning.
Many schools may have gardens but no funds for a full time garden teacher, or somebody with skills in horticulture and teaching. Its not just schools and children who need to reconnect with nature – whole families, community groups, even aged care facilities need to access the wellbeing benefits of connecting with nature. Rather than put my energy into just one school I would like to share my skills and passion across all education sectors in Melbourne – early childhood, primary schools, daycare centres, aged care facilities, councils and community groups. I see it as an obligation, to share passion, knowledge and my learning across the broader community.
Environmental sustainability and reconciliation
I am learning about the importance of connecting to the land I live and work on, reconciling with the Kulin nations who have been disconnected from their land, cultural heritage and language. I feel it is our duty to learn from our predecessors who lived so closely with the environment, who knew its cycles, spirit and consequences of not living sustainably. I believe the way to protect cultural heritage, regenerate the habitats and ecosystems which recent generations have damaged, reinvigorate the endangered languages and cultures of Melbourne, and be part of the reconciliation process is to reconnect our generation and future generations with the land and its heritage. We are now responsible guardians of the land, and we are part of nature. We can raise environmentalists empowered to make their world a better place!

Hey, remember when Glee tackled Madonna and sang "Like A Virgin" and we had all that talk about sex? Or, remember when Quinn had that baby? I'm pretty sure it wasn't immaculate conception.
Suffice to say that all the hoopla over tonight's virginity-centric episode was even more silly than normal. This was not the first time this show has touched on teens doing the deed. I mean, the assertion that Glee was going to "not only broadcast, but celebrate children having sex" is just a tad of an overstatement, wouldn't you say? In fact, had I not read all the hand-wringing over it, I'd be hard-pressed to even confirm the characters sealed the deal at all. The ending of tonight's episode was tasteful to the point of abstract expressionism.
So can we all just call a spade a spade here? Folks can pull out all of their favorite "I love gays!" and "I studied theater in college!" cards, but you really can't ignore the fact one of the couples at the heart of tonight's episode were two dudes. Just seems a little strange that's the episode that really riles the conservative groups, don't you think?
I won't linger on that point for long, because there is not enough red wine on Earth to get me through the comments that would incite. Instead, let's chat about the episode.
All in all, not bad! I did not think it was as good as the last heralded episode, "Asian F," but "The First Time" was definitely one of the better episodes in the show's three-season run.
Maybe we didn't need the Beiste and Mike Chang storylines, but that's really just splitting hairs. The main arcs were well-paced and felt very authentic. The characters reacted in ways consistent with how we've gotten to know them over the last few years, and that's a pretty big step for this show. I also really loved the musical musical numbers (just keep reading it, it makes sense), and I'm glad to see something like the musical span multiple episodes from inception to auditions to inevitable cancellation to inevitable reinstatement and finally opening night.
My only real complaint is maybe all the teenage lust was played a touch too safe, a bit too romanticized. It wasn't awkward like an episode of Degrassi or steamy like Gossip Girl. Unless Ryan Murphy's ultimate goal was to subvert all the brouhaha over the scandalous gay teen sex by creating a gay teen sex scene fit for a Hallmark Channel movie.
In a nutshell: It's time! Time to grow up, time to make some realizations, time to sing Sondheim! That's right, the long-awaited debut of McKinley High's West Side Story is finally upon us. But before we get to singing and the dancing (and the stabbing), there's a lot drama brewing around ol' Lima Ohio.
As the final rehearsals roll around, director Artie is just not feeling the chemistry between Blaine and Rachel. This is supposed to be a musical about a sexual awakening, so why can't they channel their first times? Oh, wait, they're still virgins? Ruh-roh.
And they're not alone. Turns out Coach Beiste is saving herself for the right guy. And she may know him already! And he may be conveniently visiting McKinley this week! How about that! He's a football scout for Ohio State and he'll be scoping out the Beiste's football boys, including Finn. When she shares her crush with Artie (very appropriately, I might add) he does what everyone on this show does — he meddles. As luck would have it, the scout has a crush on her too, but Beiste couldn't see it because she didn't see the beauty in herself. Well, that wrapped up pretty nicely.
While we're treading common storytelling tropes, how about the driven parent who disapproves of their child's interest in the arts? Right. Mike Chang. His Dad shows up at school, tells Mike to quit or he doesn't have a father anymore. Chang presses on and performs as his mom looks on from the audience, his father nowhere in sight. It was just a tiny snippet of a storyline, and, while I'm glad to see Boy Chang get some more screentime, I hope this thread goes down a path a little less worn.
Back to the virgins!
Rachel decides to take Finn up on his offer of an unsupervised home for the week as him mom and Kurt's dad pound the pavement for the upcoming election. Finn makes a romantic dinner, lights a fire and lays her down and makes sure one final time that she's ready. Ready? She has to be ready! She's got to lose her virginity before opening night! Naturally, Finn is none too happy to be used as a prop. And the bad news keeps on coming for ol' Finn. The scout that he was hanging his hopes and dreams on to recruit him for Ohio State passed on him and told him his football dreams are as good as dead. After the show's opening night, Rachel shows up again and shows him how special he is by giving him something no one else can ever claim — her virginity.
But what of Blaine? He and Kurt also decided to wait up until now, but Blaine is getting restless. It's a certain restlessness that's exacerbated when Blaine stops by Dalton and meets new Warbler Sebastian. The lanky, handsome, lost Winklevoss triplet has his sights on Blaine, whether or not Kurt likes it. This makes Kurt jump at the chance to show Blaine his spontaneous side and join Sebastian at Scandals, one of those sad gay bars you find in places like Lima. While partying at Scandals, Kurt runs into Karofsky, who is living on the DL at his new school, but slowly coming to terms with who he is. In the parking lot, a drunken Blaine tries to put the moves on Kurt, who does NOT respond well, leading to a confused Blaine storming home on foot. After the successful debut of Blaine's Tony in West Side Story, the two go back to Blaine's and cash in their V-cards.
Also, the musical was sort of awesome, but forget Rachel and Blaine — Santana stole that show, for real.
Reezen 2 Luv Brittany: "I lost my virginity at cheerleading camp, he just climbed into my tent — alien invasion."
Kurt Keeps It Fabulous: "No. 5: Have relations on a dewy meadow of lilac with Taylor Lautner before he gets fat."
Someone Check Santana's Weave For Razorblades: "It was like being smothered by a sweaty, out-of-breath sack of potatoes that someone soaked in body spray."
Naughtiest Line You May Have Missed: "Sadly, no, we broke up 20 minutes after we met."
Best Musical Number: Last week, I had a hard time finding one musical number to love, but tonight I'm torn between two. I'm usually not toppled over by Warbler numbers (on account of Darren Criss's incessant head-wobbling), but I enjoyed the boys' rendition of "Uptown Girl" (directed at that weird sexy librarian). And yet, I'm not sure I've loved anything as much this season as I did Santana and Puck's "America." Awesome.
The Gold Star: Kurt! I like that Saint Kurt didn't face any big, dramatic crisis conscience. All of his actions and decisions just seemed so true to the character. Plus, the way he Naomi-stomped across that dance floor to cut in between Sebastian and Blaine was legendary.
Blingee of the Week: These two? No chemistry at all. They do seem like they'd have a sleepover and pillow fight and talk about boys, though. Not sure if that qualifies as method acting.

Glee airs Tuesdays at 7 p.m. on FOX, plays incessantly on my iTunes and occupies a large space in my heart.

The perceived cost of interior design is the reason why many people do not venture further with this subject into their own homes. Thankfully, you have no need to think like this, as you will be provided with the best, cost-friendly ways to make your home look brand new! Read on for some wonderful home decorating examples.
One tip for interior design is to incorporate interesting textures and patterns. Pattern and texture accent different surfaces, such as glass and wood, while drawing attention to attractive details. In order to get a contemporary style, you will definitely want to focus on patterns and textures.
When addressing the decor in a smaller room, make certain to select furniture that easily adapts to other uses. In fact, you can use an ottoman as a chair or couch. This piece can increase the amount of seating in your room while providing a platform for feet. Items that are multi-purpose allow you to make your space more versatile.
When attempting to do an interior decorating project, it is always best to work in a space that is not too cluttered. An excessive amount of accessories and furniture is likely to cause your room to appear small and cramped. Rather, just choose a few important pieces of furniture so as to create a lot of open space.
If you are framing a picture, use creativity and imagination. They can be used to add some style to a room, also. You shouldn't just simply hang photos in a straight line. Use geometric designs as you hang them. Using the surrounding white space could give you interesting effects and it could even change the room's mood.
Be patient when painting a room. Taking your time can save you from making a rash decision you will have to live with. Sample a number of colors, and test them out on your walls. See how they look when exposed to different lighting. You might find that you do not like the color as much now as you did before.
You should purchase high-quality paint in order to get the job done right. Low-quality paints wear easily and can cause damage to walls, creating the need to paint more often. Purchase high quality paint and your design will last much longer.
All rooms require proper lighting. Lighting will alter the mood of a room depending on how bright it is. If you use bright lighting, it will be a more cheerful place to spend time. Bright lights can overwhelm small rooms and areas where you want to create a softer mood. Installing dimmer switches in your living room and bedroom allows you to change the mood of the room at will.
A quick way to update your space is to focus on accessories. Refresh the accent pieces, lighting and fans. Change your curtains or add some tea towels. Small solutions likes these make your rooms give off a fresh vibe and will not be costly at all.
As you have learned, interior design does not require an expert. By picking up a few simple ideas, you can become a creative interior designer and give your home a distinctive, personal touch that all your friends will be raving about.
