Hillbilly Singers, Money Launderers and Sonny Tufts: The Story of Cottonpickin’ Chickenpickers and the Country & Western Drive-In Film
By Kliph Nesteroff
Reading time 18 Minutes
From the opening scene, in which a hillbilly serenades a horse
From the opening scene, in which a hillbilly serenades a horse inside a railway boxcar, it’s clear that Cottonpickin’ Chickenpickers (1967) is an unusual film.
On the surface, its two leads – country and western musicians Del Reeves and Hugh X. Lewis –seem a strange casting choice. But between 1958 and 1972, drive-in theaters presented over thirty entries in the genre to which Cottonpickin’ Chickenpickers belongs. All starred country musicians, none of whom knew how to act. This cheap school of motion picture was immensely profitable, an unsung subset of exploitation cinema filled with lots of singing and plenty of mugging: the country and western drive-in film.
Cottonpickin’ Chickenpickers is one of the most dubious entries in an already dubious genre. Poor camerawork, odd edits, dreadful acting – one wonders how it ever got made. And why. But unlike other mystifying B-movies that orbited late night TV, the explanation may be simple enough. Cottonpickin’ Chickenpickers was the product of the sudden boom in country music’s popularity, midwifed by the finances of a publishing and crayon industry heir and the shady ways of its producer, the notorious money launderer Charles Broun Jr.
American drive-in content during the 1950s was mostly flying saucer invasions, radioactive monsters, and drag racing delinquents. During the 1960s the market was dominated by biker gang sadism and beach party frivolity. By the 1970s the drive-ins embraced sex and violence in the sexual kitsch of Russ Meyer and the many pushermen of the blaxploitation craze.
The country and western drive-in film spans the same long time period. Among its titles were Country Music Holiday (1958), Country Music Jubilee (1960), Country Music Carnival (1964), Tennessee Jamboree (1964), Second Fiddle to a Steel Guitar (1965), 40 Acre Feud (1965), Country Music on Broadway (1965), Music City USA (1966), That Tennessee Beat (1966), Country Boy (1966), Nashville Rebel (1966), Las Vegas Hillbillys (1966), The Gold Guitar (1966), Renfro Valley Barn Dance (1966), Hell on Wheels (1967), Hillbillys in a Haunted House (1967), Pee Wee King’s Country Western Hoedown (1967), The Road to Nashville (1967), From Nashville with Music (1969), and Cottonpickin’ Chickenpickers (1967).
The country and western drive-in film shared basic elements with its parent genre—notably threadbare plots and reliably no-budget production values—and added another, unique one: several songs performed by popular country and western artists. These films starred the musicians themselves, name performers like Waylon Jennings, Ferlin Husky and Faron Young. And most included a cameo from some B or C-level Hollywood star in an attempt to bolster credibility. Road to Nashville featured faded comedian Doodles Weaver, Country Music Holiday boasted Maytag repairman Jesse White, and Nashville Rebel, a film starring Jennings, incongruously offered up an appearance by one-liner king Henny Youngman.
Del Reeves, the star of Cottonpickin’ Chickenpickers, didn’t gain traction as a country star until the mid-’60s, despite having kicked around the business for a decade. His onstage manner was akin to a hillbilly Dean Martin—a suave, insouciant attitude, a Carolina twang, and a cigarette dangling between his fingers. In 1965 he had his first smash record, Girl on the Billboard, an entry in the then-popular genre of trucker music, that went to number one on the country charts.
On the heels of that hit, Reeves was offered a role in Second Fiddle to a Steel Guitar, the first of many country and western drive-in films he’d appear in. The picture featured fellow country names like Kitty Wells, Bill Monroe, and Minnie Pearl, as well as Hollywood performers who’d seen better days, including comic actor Arnold Stang and former Bowery Boys Leo Gorcey and Huntz Hall.
Reeves was soon a multi-media commodity. Show Biz Inc., a Nashville production firm, hired him as host of a new syndicated program, Country Carnival, and he was cast in three new films in quick succession: Forty Acre Feud (1965), The Gold Guitar (1966), and Las Vegas Hillbillies (1966).
Forty Acre Feud was directed by Ron Ormond, the low-budget impresario famous for Mesa of Lost Women (1953). Ormond used the same cast and crew for 40 Acre Feud and The Gold Guitar, shooting them back to back and paying country stars Skeeter Davis, Roy Drusky, Bill Anderson, Hugh X. Lewis, and Del Reeves two hundred and fifty dollars for their time. Money was largely beside the point: The films were good publicity in the pre-music-video era. “We knew we weren’t making Gone with the Wind,” said Bill Anderson. “Film was one of the only ways for the fans to put a face with a name and sound.”
Del Reeves was on a roll, and excited about his next project: “I’m hoping something great will come from Cottonpickin’ Chickenpickers,” he noted prior to shooting.
The film would benefit from a profitable contemporary music trend. Country had crossed over into the pop field for the first time and received tremendous amounts of airplay on national radio. The person responsible for this sudden interest and expanding success was the man in charge of RCA’s Nashville division, Chet Atkins. When the guitar virtuoso turned executive, he introduced elaborate string sections, brass instruments, and complex engineering methods to Nashville recording sessions. What had once been a traditional world of fiddles, banjos and mandolins was now a lavish, heavily-produced operation. The new approach was dubbed “The Nashville Sound” and it outraged old timers and country music purists. But, as a result, the genre was suddenly becoming profitable on a massive scale. All manner of tie-ins followed, from magazines to television programs to an explosion of country and western themed films.
Cottonpickin’ Chickenpickers was produced by the Southeastern Pictures Corporation
Cottonpickin’ Chickenpickers was produced by the Southeastern Pictures Corporation, led by its president Charles Broun Jr. Hounded by controversy for much of his life, Broun – who died in 2001 -- started his film career as a theater manager in Spindale, North Carolina in the 1940s. He and his wife ran a number of restaurants and movie houses throughout the region, until they fled to Florida after one theater was burned to the ground by local vigilantes in 1952.
It’s not clear what Broun did to upset the townsfolk, but the Sunshine State offered him a new start. In Fort Myers, Broun went to work running his own successful ad agency. He was eventually convinced by the Lehigh Corporation – the company behind one of the state’s first massive real estate developments, Lehigh Acres -- to run their operation making commercials and marketing films.
By the 1960s, Florida had become a primary market for drive-in movies as well as a common filming location for the cheap, cinematic trash of the time. Broun saw an opportunity and developed the idea for his own film company, Southeastern Pictures. He found a backer and partner in the form of a wealthy local, David Binney Putnam. Grandson of G.P. Putnam, the famous book publisher, David Binney was also, improbably, both a stepson of Amelia Earhart and an heir to the Crayola crayon fortune.
With Putnam’s support, Southeastern set up its own studio in Lehigh Acres and began making pictures in 1966. Their retelling of The Emperor’s New Clothes, starring John Carradine, was directed by future Porky’s helmer Bob Clark – though the film would never actually see the light of day.
Broun and Southeastern had more success with their follow-up. Cottonpickin’ Chickenpickers was directed by Larry E. Jackson, who had experience making a previous country and western flick also featuring Del Reeves, Las Vegas Hillbillys. That picture’s cast included Richard Kiel, Ferlin Husky, Bill Anderson, Connie Smith, Mamie Van Doren, Joi Lansing, and Jayne Mansfield. Cottonpickin’ Chickenpickers did not boast the same level of star power, but it did utilize once-famous figures like Sonny Tufts, Lila Lee, and Slapsy Maxie Rosenblooom.
Rosenbloom, a former light heavyweight boxing champion with cauliflower ears who played comic relief in Poverty Row films during the 1940s, is today best remembered for the Mob-connected nightclub in Los Angeles that bore his nickname. Lila Lee, a star of silent movies, was cast in Cottonpickin’ Chickenpickers largely because she lived nearby. Lee, a Key West resident, hadn’t been active in motion pictures since the 1930s, but had been coaxed out of retirement to appear in Southeastern’s production of The Emperor’s New Clothes. Tufts, meanwhile, was a notorious joke in Hollywood, perhaps best remembered for Cat Women of the Moon (1953). When Michael Medved wrote his influential book The Golden Turkey Awards, he bestowed upon Cottonpickin’ Chickenpickers the dubious honor of “the worst performance by Sonny Tufts.”
It appears that the real creative force behind Cottonpickin’ Chickenpickers was its co-writer, Robert V. Barron, an ambitious radio deejay from Charleston, West Virginia. Soon after Cottonpickin’ Chickenpickers wrapped, Barron moved to Hollywood and appeared as a hippie in a “Love-In” themed episode of The Beverly Hillbillies, launching a long career as an actor and producer. Mostly notably, he appeared as Abraham Lincoln in 1989’s Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure and served as an executive with international TV studio Saban Entertainment (Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, Robotech).
Cottonpickin’ Chickenpickers was a non-union shoot, allowing Barron to meddle in all aspects of the filmmaking process. “I have been putting in sixteen to eighteen hours a day, tearing the whole movie apart and putting it back together again,” said Barron at the time. “In addition to editing, I’ve had to supervise sound, music scoring, title art, dubbing, mixing, processing, optical effects – and on top of everything else, produce two 200-foot theatrical trailers and two TV trailers. At one time I had three editors working on the film.”
Though the film looks and feels like it was shot in a single day, star Del Reeves noted, “We took eight weeks to film Cottonpickin’ Chickenpickers. I don’t know why I enjoyed it. I swear I don’t, but I do.” In a recent interview Broun’s son, Charles Broun III, offered one guess: “They worked for little or nothing,” he said. “What did flow freely was a lot of alcohol.”
In addition to Reeves and Lewis, the picture also featured performances by country singers David Houston and Mel Tillis. Neither were well-known at the time, but Houston’s song “Almost Persuaded” would become hit just as the movie was released, and Houston gave Cottonpickin’ Chickenpickers a plug when he appeared on a 1967 Grammy special. Tillis had written a new song that would also chart just as the film was released. Though not featured in the movie, Tillis’ tune would become a country standard: “Ruby, Don’t Take Your Love to Town.”
Cottonpickin’ Chickenpickers had its premiere at the Lehigh Acres Auditorium on April 28, 1967. The film’s initial run came in South Carolina. Broun secured legitimate venues like the Capri Theater in Spartanburg and the Hamrick Theater in Gaffney before sending it out on the drive-in circuit, where it was usually paired with other films in the country and western genre. In Shreveport, Louisiana, patrons celebrated Christmas with a triple bill of Cottonpickin’ Chickenpickers, Las Vegas Hillbillys, and Hillbillys in a Haunted House. Over the next few years Cottonpickin’ Chickenpickers was often used as drive-in filler. It accompanied the Richard Widmark film Moonshine War (1970) in Ohio, shared the bill with Cry of the Banshee (1971) in Indianapolis, and joined Albert T. Viola’s Preacherman (1971) in Hattiesburg. Five years after its initial release, Cottonpickin’ Chickenpickers was still screening at the Jolly Roger Drive-In in Cincinnati.
Broun was pleased with the number of bookings Cottonpickin’ Chickenpickers received. A newspaper report following its release claimed that Southeastern Pictures had immediate plans to expand its scope. “Broun hopes to develop an attractive industry for the area, and eventually establish this operation as Florida’s West Coast Film Center.” This never happened; Broun only completed two other films before shuttering the studio: the Bob Clark-directed She-Man: A Story of Fixation (1967) and The Wild, Wild World of Jayne Mansfield (1968). Even after Southeastern went bust, Broun continued in the business for a time, distributing European “art films” of a decidedly adult variety.
The subject or quality of the films didn’t matter to Broun. Ultimately, it appears that most of his business interests were a front for more nefarious activities. In the early ’70s Broun abandoned movies entirely to become president of the national Red Carpet Inn chain. That job would lead to the indictment of the Cottonpickin’ Chickenpickers producer in “one of the largest [drug] money laundering takedowns in American history.”
The DEA, FBI, and IRS monitored Broun throughout the 1970s. FBI agent Robert Mazur said that Broun, as head of Red Carpet Inns, “often prepared records to show every room occupied, even though the hotel was virtually empty. It allowed them to push dope money through as hotel revenue. With all the hotel’s write-offs, no taxes had to be paid, and the dope money was legitimized.”
Broun sealed his own fate one evening when he bragged about his laundering methods to an undercover agent. In License to Steal, a study of several precedent-setting organized crime cases, author Jeff Burbank wrote, “The agents masqueraded as members of a Chicago-based cocaine smuggling ring, attempting to organize a money-laundering scheme with the DEA agent posing as a cocaine trafficker.”
Mazur – whose book about his experiences as an undercover agent would form the basis of the 2016 film The Infiltrator – noted that “after half a year….and dozens of recorded meetings with Broun [and his associates], we had more than enough evidence to take them down … My final challenge in the case was to set up the sting.” The scene of Broun’s takedown was a Red Carpet Inn in Mississippi. Burbank wrote that Broun and his business partner “offered to arrange to launder the proceeds of illegal drug sales in the United States ‘and claimed to have personally perfected a method of smuggling cash on board commercial airlines to fly to off-shore islands.”
By the early 1980s, Broun found himself facing more than 100 years in prison. Rather than risk a trial, he made a deal with the feds, becoming a key prosecution witness and offering information in exchange for a lighter sentence.
Broun would ultimately spend three years in jail as a result of his activities as a hotel magnate. But in the context of his work as a film mogul, most viewers of Cottonpickin’ Chickenpickers would agree -- such punishment was far too light.

For those of you who don’t know who Sean Duffy is, he’s the ex-lumberjack from some cheese state who met his hottie of a wife, Rachel Campos-Duffy, while both worked on an MTV reality show back in the late ’90s.
Since their MTV days, the Duffy’s have had eight kids, while Sean ended up as the US Congressman from Wisconsin’s 7th Congressional District.
With the winning of five election to the US House of Representatives comes leadership, and that same leadership sometimes comes the responsibility to be exactly that — a leadser.
Case in point would be Rep Duffy appearing on CNN’s Chris Cuomo’s program, letting the kid brother of New York’s governor know in no uncertain terms that an awful lot of the blame for the so-called “Russia Collusion” scandal lies at the feet of news organizations such as CNN.
Even better, Rep Duffy called out Cuomo himself, all on live television.
Specifically, Duffy slammed Cuomo when he told him;
“If the media was doing its job they would be far more skeptical. You’re the reporters and you have a job to make sure you’re putting out the right facts. You put out the wrong facts.”

TWENTY years ago I first saw Duse. It was her last appearance in America at the end of what had not been a particularly profitable tour. She had insisted on playing the dramas of D'Anunzio though the public had wanted Camille and Magda. Her final performance at the Metropolitan, however, had consisted of an act of each of her more famous rôles. As I look back through the years I recall Magda's return to her father's house and how marvelously Duse's fluent hands moved over the back of his chair, as she looked about the familiar room that had harbored her innocence.
Two years ago in Paris I saw her again. It was in Sacha Guitry's dressing-room. I had been there talking to him between the acts when she unexpectedly came in. He had told me how she had refused to allow him to pay the customary courtesy of having her box decorated with flowers. She had wanted to be inconspicuous. Of course, I faded out of the way as soon as I could. She did not linger long but came out into the corridor in a nervous, excited manner. Then she suddenly remembered she had forgotten something.
"Oh, mon chapeau! J'ai oublié mon chapeau," she exclaimed in her peculiarly vibrant voice, as she rushed back.
When she was here last winter I recalled the scene to her. "Oh, yes. Sacha had asked me to go back to see him and I did en camarade. But I was so confused in his loge. It was so full of people and noise. How can he stand having people there like that when he is playing a rôle? . . . I had to leave pleading a headache. I was so confused. That's why I left my hat and wrap...."
We were sitting in her simple suite at her hotel in New York shortly after her reappearance on the same Metropolitan Opera House stage. There were flowers about; but nothing had been altered from its habitual furnishings. Her personal manager had arranged the meeting for me.
WHEN she heard that I did not want to interview her for publication, but merely wished to talk to her about plays and things, she consented to see me the very next day. Her horror of the formal interview had no limits. All her life she had suffered by what she had been made to say. I was told that, failing to get anything tangible from her, things were invented. It happened that once she had just received a half dozen pairs of scissors which she had sent to be sharpened. When the interviewer saw them lying on the table, the news was shortly given to the world "that Madame Duse had a passion for collecting scissors." Such experiences had made her shy in meeting strangers.
Of course, I was terribly fussed. I knew she spoke no English and that I would have to speak French. When the door of her suite was opened I confess, in the darkness, I nearly mistook her companion for Duse herself. Somehow, it would have been natural for Duse to have opened the door! When she finally came in from her bedroom, she went straight to her personal manager without looking at me. Then, when he greeted her and mentioned my name, she turned quickly towards me with a measuring glance, her lips murmuring a greeting as she extended her hand, which I saluted in Continental fashion.
Though immediately impressed by the aura of her personality, I could not help but note the economy of her movement. It was all so natural and yet there was no confusion in the way each particular move was unconsciously registered. There were strands of white hair among the iron-grey that had nearly turned. Her face was sallow, without color, yet oddly enough not so wrinkled as I had expected--except the brow. Her neck seemed a bit gaunt; her high cheek-bones perhaps more prominent than in the early Lenbach painting. Yet she looked almost the same as she had seemed in that memorable return in The Lady of the Sea. Her eyes remain most vivid to me--dark, mysterious yet kind. I had expected something more wan and languid, too--an epic woman bowed by a world of personal sorrow. But when she began to speak almost immediately with great rapidity and without any hesitation in searching for her words, I felt an unsuspected personality. Not once during the half hour, which she graciously granted me, was there any lessening of her verbal attack or vitality. Somehow, this gave me quite a shock since, just before, her manager had told me as her train left Paris she had huddled in the corner of her compartment asking timidly, "Do you think there is a place in America even for me?"
I HAD no difficulty in following her French though she had a pronounced Italian accent. She very generously divined my meaning when my phrase halted in confusion; for I was recording my impressions of her and trying to think in another language. She instantly asked me if I had a play that would suit her. I knew the great problem which confronted her on a tour was the fact that, as had been her custom, she had engaged her company by the year, whether they played or not. Acting so seldom as she did and with a limited repertoire, which, however, necessitated a fairly large company, it was practically impossible to make her touring financially profitable. With this in mind I had therefore come to suggest to her the possibility of an evening of one-act plays, which, being frequently altered, would yet allow her public a chance to see her in a variety of rôles, and with simple scenery. The idea appealed to her immensely. She had never thought of it before and she immediately saw its value to her peculiar demands, since people really came to see her act and not the plays themselves in a foreign language.
"It is practically impossible for me to find new rôles," she said. "The Italian dramatists now only write for young women stars. The problem of the young alone seems interesting to the public--not the old. I understand it is the same here in America. Do you think you could find me such rôles among your writers? There are so many problems that come late in life. But the older woman seems no longer interesting in the Continental drama. I feel I shall find something here that I can use. I cannot explain it. As I came nearer to America I felt my own vitality increasing. And I do feel so much vitality here. I have so many young people coming to the theatre to see me. But I must change my repertoire. I realize my present plays are not suitable. I cannot play Camille and Sardou. I am too old. And then times have changed and I, too, must have new things. Perhaps I could more easily find a repertoire of one-act plays."
When I suggested the possibility of an international program of such plays her eyes lighted with the idea.
"I might do two on an affiche, with some music between. That would be enough. In fact, I had thought of doing The Riders to the Sea for my return; but it was too short a play in which to make my reappearance after an absence of twenty years. . . . I understand you have written many one-act plays. Have you any that would suit me?"
I had brought one along which I had translated into French especially so she might read it. I apologized for the condition of the pages, for, to tell the truth, I had carried it over Europe in the hope that I might have an occasion of presenting it to her.
"Oh, I am used to that. If a manuscript is all done up beautifully I am a little suspicious of it. I like to see a manuscript that has been worked over." I told her I had written it six years before with her in mind. "Why didn't you send it to me? I should so like to have been remembered. . . . Yet six years is a long while when one is young. . . . Perhaps if I don't think it suits me you will write me something else? It is so hard to find plays which suit me--now."
There was a momentary glance as though looking far away. "Tell me," she asked, "how do your young artists endure playing every day? Your young Eva Le Gallienne tells me she must give nine and ten performances a week and that often a play will run for a year or more continuously . . . How can one keep the springs of creation fresh? And yet they seem so willing to learn. . . . They do not come to see me act because I am handsome or young. . . . Perhaps I have something to give them." Then she called for her companion to bring the Sunday paper. "Yet there seems to be nothing but beautiful women in your theatre." And as she pointed to a famous star in a bathing suit she added with a shy smile: "That is not art, that is nature."
We spoke of actors abroad and I find, in the hasty notes I made after I left, but one reference: "Lucien Guitry is a great actor in the great tradition. His son, Sacha, is all that is best in the modern school--its skill, its cleverness and perhaps he has some of its faults."
When I rose to go she sat on the arm of the couch fingering the manuscript I had brought her. Her eyes accidentally fell on a phrase which was a sort of text upon the title-page. "I like that," she said, "Les arbres morts restent longtemps debout" -- dead trees stand long.
She smiled enigmatically and I kissed her hand as I left her standing there.

Top Ten Joke Reasons Why Tom DeLonge is Better Than Dahvie VanityThis list is meant to be bad, remember, this list is a joke, not meant to be taken seriously. I know I will get criticized a lot for this list, but its a joke, not a serious thing, it is supposed to be funny. This list is pointing out things wrong with comparison lists, before commenting, PLEASE read this. I haven't made lists like this in a long time, but I made this because of what I said earlier. You can point out whatever is wrong with the list, or joke about it, it is meant to be a bad list. It is biased and all, and it is supposed to be biased. A lot of people make biased lists and reasons on who they prefer for reasons that can be the same thing as the opponent of the list, and I am making a list like that to prove how lists biased people can really be. I personally do prefer Tom DeLonge over Dahvie Vanity, but it doesn't mean my arguments are facts, I am using this as an example. This is both a joke and a list to point out whats wrong with the site. I know Dahvie Vanity is an old horse here, which is why I am trying to point out how it is getting out of hand.
The Top Ten
Even I'm better ag playing guitar and I'm younger than Vanity LOL!
Dahvie Vanity can only make beginner riffs that a person who just started guitar can easily make, which are trash. Tom can play super fast, and that takes some skill, it is so hard for me to play M+Ms.
Tom even respects his haters, who are asses to him. He likes to take time to talk, take photos, and sign things for fans, he visits sick fans, and made a free album for his fans and always tries to please them no matter how much work it will take, not everyone has that kind of patience to do whatever fans want. Dahvie sexualizes his fans and judges them by their appearance too, he also is mean when fans want a photo or want things signed.
Dahvie's a wimp. - StevenUniverseIsAwesome
Tom can actually sing when he tries, I saw plenty of good vocal performances by him, I saw a video of him singing without auto tune, and he can sing some good notes. Dahvie however has no vocal talent and always sounds tone deaf, even with auto tune, he makes IceJJFish look like Mariah Carey.
All The Small Things is one of the most memorable songs of all time, and Enema Of The State is one of the highest selling albums in rock, as well as TOYPAJ and Self Titled, the music from those albums are pretty damn good. Dahvie Vanity has no iconic songs, his albums barely sell, and one of his shows was cancelled due to poor ticket sales(shows how bad he is, and the music is bad).
Star Power is the worst piece of music I have heard in my life and all existence, so is the rest of Dahvie's garbage songs. Tom makes some of the best music ever, with many different meanings and makes them sound good.
Dahvie writes about insulting people, killing, and sex with underage girls, tons of meaningless garbage. Tom writes about world peace, depression, love, silly times, and problems within society.
Dahvie writes lyrics which is like Kodak Black's song lyrics. - StevenUniverseIsAwesome
Tom gets worse hate than Dahvie, yet when he gets it, Tom actually is still nice to his haters, he either roasts them or uses calm, good reasoning(which is what most of the time he does). Dahvie on the other hand tells his haters to commit suicide and immature responses.
Tom deals with lots of hate just like I do! Even Steven Universe deals with hate! - StevenUniverseIsAwesome
Don't know how Tom deals with hate but yeah Dahvie is a wimp.He should at least roast his haters or defend his music but he can't handle hate.-LitSavage
Tom replies nicely usually when dealing with haters, or sometimes roasts them. Or he uses reasoning to defend.
Tom would never rape under age girls, he thinks that is nasty and despises pedophiles, in a case before, he got super aggressive when he found out that a friend of his daughter was almost kidnapped by human trafficking pedophiles. They had a very ugly truck and Tom helped catch them. He cussed so much at them and got super aggressive(I would be as well), definitely someone who hates pedophile stuff. Dahvie Vanity wants to touch the breasts of underage girls and lures them into his van to rape them, and he abuses them too. If Tom were to catch Dahvie doing that crap to his daughter or any other girl, he would have gotten very aggressive and mad at that, and even fight.
Apart from music, and not even in music he is good, he has no other talent. He is not talented in anything, the only thing he is talented at is coloring himself to look like a clown and being a pedophile. Tom is not only talented at music, but he can write literature, has entrepreneur skills, and is a good drawer too(I don’t know why he barely draws in his works, he is a wonderful artist that can draw good proportions, even his son said so).
Tom has some sexual shows(most aren’t)but he makes them funny and for 18+ audiences, not for underage children. But most of them are not sexual, just the strong language, because of the funny jokes. And he does entertaining things on stage, like telling stories about his life, or randomly dance out of nowhere, he has good stage presence which makes him have personality. Dahvie Vanity’s shows are boring since he has no sense of humor and just does gross things with underage girls like touching their boobs or him showing his penis to them.
What? - StevenUniverseIsAwesome

Aggies Open Season In Magic Kingdom
North Carolina A&T (0-0, 0-0) vs. Alabama A&M (0-0, 0-0)
Date: August 31, 2014
Time: 11:45 a.m.
Facility: Bright House Networks Stadium
Series: First meeting
Media: ESPN (play-by-play Mark Neely; analyst Jay Walker; sideline reporter Tiffany Greene)
PROBABLE OFFENSIVE STARTERS: WR Denzel Keyes (6-4, 210, So.); LT Brandon Parker (6-7, 280, R-Fr.); LG William Ray Robinson III (6-3, 307, R-Sr.); C Ronald Canty (6-0, 277, R-Sr.); RG Josh Mattocks (6-3, 310, R-Fr.); RT Wes Cole (6-6, 306, So.); TE Dequan Swann (6-1, 226, R-Jr.); WR Desmond Lawrence (5-10, 181, Sr.); WR Joseph Spann (5-10, 164, So.); QB Kwashaun Quick (6-0, 188, Jr.); RB Tarik Cohen (5-6, 172, So.).
PROBABLE DEFENSIVE STARTERS: DE Daniel Pinnix (6-1, 237, Sr.); DT Michael Neal (5-11, 270, Jr.); NT Marquis Ragland (6-3, 265, R-So.); DE Angelo Keyes (6-1, 263, R-So.); LB D’Vonte Grant (5-10, 195, R-Sr.); LB Denzel Jones (5-9, 231, R-Jr.); LB Jeremy Taylor (5-11, 183, R-Fr.); ROV Landis Shoffner (6-0, 172, Jr.); FS Zerius Lockhart (5-10, 175, R-Fr.); CB Donald Mattocks (5-8, 178, R-Sr.); CB Tony McRae (5-9, 175, Jr.).
Aggies Overview: North Carolina A&T was 16 points away from a perfect season in 2013. The Aggies lost to S.C. State, Hampton and Delaware State by five points in consecutive weeks. Two weeks later they lost 24-23 at Morgan State on a last-second field goal. Head coach Rod Broadway hopes a year of maturity and some lessons learned can turn some of those close losses into wins in 2014. Broadway will see just how much his team has grown up early in the season. A&T’s first three games are torturous. The Aggies start out against an Alabama A&M team they do not have a lot of film against before playing a nationally-ranked Coastal Carolina team at home and then traveling to play Elon, a team looking to get even in the Piedmont rivalry after the Aggies came away with a convincing 23-10 win last year.
Alabama A&M Overview: Alabama A&M is now under the direction of James Spady, a former offensive coordinator for Broadway when Broadway was the head coach at Grambling. There are plenty of rumors out there about what the Bulldogs might run offensively against one of the best defenses in the nation. But the truth is no one really knows. The best educated guess is that the Bulldogs will run a pistol offense since that is the offense at the University of Nevada, Spady’s last school. What is known is that the Bulldogs have one of the receivers in the SWAC in Montauris Smith. Smith made a team-leading 56 receptions for 779 yards and five touchdowns in 2013. Brandon Wells appears to be the Bulldogs’ starting quarterback .
News & Notes:
• North Carolina A&T only has one player from the state of Alabama and that is starting free safety Zerius Lockhart. They have three players from the state of Florida in freshmen Amos Williams (DeFuniak) and Timadre Abram (Lakeland) and redshirt freshman Tard McCoy (Delray Beach).
•There will be several players from last season in new numbers. Quarterback Kwashaun Quick has gone from No. 16 to No. 2, receiver Denzel Keyes has gone from No. 10 to No.1, receiver Quentin Todd is now No. 10 after wearing No. 83 for three years. Safety Zerius Lockhart is now wearing No. 9 instead of 47, kicker Cody Jones went from No. 82 to No. 42 to No. 13 and Oluwafemi Bamiro went from No. 9 to No. 49. The four other number changes are Daniel Pinnix (No. 93 to No. 40), Xavier Griffin (No. 8 to No. 3), Justin Smith (No. 92 to No. 30) and Tony McCrae (No. 25 to No. 21).
• A&T will have three new starters along its offensive line when the ball kicks off on Sunday. Two of those tall new starters will be at the tackle positions. Brandon Parker and Wes Cole stand at 6-7 and 6-6 respectively with Parker starting at left tackle and Cole starting at right. The third new member is Josh Mattocks at right guard.
What did he say?: “Everybody is in the same position. You may think you know, and everybody feels good right now because everybody has been practicing against yourself and you think you have a chance. We will know a lot more next Monday about our football team than we do right now. But I think we have the chance of being a decent football team if we can stay healthy. Staying healthy is so important in this league, especially with us having 63 scholarships and 84 guys on scholarship; we are at the 53 mark right now. If we lose somebody, it is devastating. But if we can stay healthy I think we can be in the mix when this thing clears up.”

What Could be causing Ghost/Glass Shrimp Death?
I bought 7 shrimp a week ago and added them to my 10 gallon tank that also has one male betta and 4 corrys. The betta is not aggressive so I know he's not the problem. 4 days ago I lost a shrimp, and now today I found another one dead, but this one has eggs. :-( Their bodies are fully intact so they have not been attacked by the other fish and I don't think my betta even knows their there. My water parameters are great and the other shrimp are active and look just fine. What could have caused these 2 deaths and how can I prevent more?
How established is your tank? What are your ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate levels? Shrimp are very intolerant of fluctuating pollutant levels. If any of your nitrogeneous substances are out of whack they could be over stressing the shrimp and killing them. Also don't discount your other fish. They don't have to eat the shrimp to kill it. Simply investigating them a bit too hard or even driving them out of the territory, in the betta's case, could do it.
Also another point with the ghost shrimp is often times they are sold for fish food and not cared for at the shop and not in the best shape to start and ghost shrimp have a fairly short life span of 1-2 years at best. And so true about water quality, shrimp I have found are really sensitive to poor water quality and high nitrate.
If you keep a betta in the same tank you can bet your house that no shrimp will ever live more than 1-2 weeks at best.
Betta and shrimp combo is a win-win situation only for the betta.
There is also the chance that they were old but still i'd keep my eye on that betta, they are called siamese fighting fish for a reason.
Oldfishlady - great point. They are only sold as feeders here not as pets.
My betta is not aggressive. I swims with my corys and they all eat the little wafers together. Strange as it is, they even sleep in the same little huddle. :-) The shrimp are the same size as my betta (He's tiny!) as I bought the largest ones the store sold. I'll test the water to be sure though.
Good advice given so far. I think a combination of factors (poor quality shrimp in the first place, fluctuating water quality in the new tank and possibly unseen aggression) probably led to the demise of your shrimp. Hopefully over time the healthier shrimp will remain to prosper in the tank once it has settled in.

It has become de rigeur for automakers to pay lip service to a future of alternative fuels and increased efficiency, and Ford's CEO Alan Mulally chipped in his two cents here on the first day of the 2007 Los Angeles Auto Show. Aside from his commitment to deliver a line of vehicles that "people do want and people do value", Mulally said that he wanted to "start a discussion" about sustainability, fuel economy, and energy security. In the near term, Mulally said Ford plans to offers more turbo-charged gasoline direct-injection engines, lighter-weight cars, and new fuel-saving transmissions to increase fuel economy.
Among the changes consumers can expect to see will be a 10 percent more-fuel-efficient Ford Taurus due to a transmission changes, an 8 percent more-fuel-efficient 2008 Ford Escape and Mercury Mariner, a 3 percent more-fuel-efficient Ford Focus, and a Ford F-150 pick-up that gets 1 mpg more than usual, according to Ford. Mulally, a former Boeing executive, said that weight-saving was also a key part of Ford's strategy for improving its models' gas mileage, and he highlighted the company's increased use of steel-, aluminum-, and titanium alloys and composites materials.
On the subject of alternative fuels, Mulally was more vague. Aside from a commitment to make half of its fleet flex-fuel compatible by 2012, Mulally suggested Ford was looking at a range of series- and parallel-hybrid technologies, including diesel-electric models. He neglected, however, to offer details of new initiatives beyond those already announced for the Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan hybrids, scheduled for production in 2008.
On plug-in hybrids, he highlighted Ford's upcoming partnership with Southern California Edison. Ford will supply the electric utility with a Ford Escape Hybrid Plug-in, but Mulally said it would be a mistake to put a time commitment on the production of such advanced technology.
On Ford's plans for hydrogen-fuel cell development, details were even more scarce. Despite stating that Ford was working to accelerate hydrogen technology "as fast as possible," Mulally trotted out the familiar view that infrastructure is the main challenge to hydrogen adoption.
While Ford may talk the green talk, it's important to note that the company is among the automakers opposed to CAFE (Corporate Average Fuel Economy ) standards that would require a company's consumer line of cars, when combined, to offer average gas mileage of 35 mpg by 2020.

Title : THE VNIIKIMASh BR-6 NITROGEN-OXYGEN UNIT,

Report Date : 04 MAR 1968
Pagination or Media Count : 51
Abstract : The All-Union Scientific-Research Institute for Oxygen Equipment developed a VNIIKIMASh type BR-6 machine designed to produce 15,000 cubic m per hour of nitrogen with a 0.002% content of 02; 7840 cubic m per hour of low-purity oxygen with 95% 02; and 160 cubic m per hour of high-purity oxygen with a 99.5% concentration of 02. The new BR-6 plants have been providing adequate supplies of pure nitrogen and technical oxygen to synthetic ammonium other chemical plants. The BR-6 plant consists of several air turbocompressors an air-fractioning unit, turboexpanders, a controlling and measuring instrument panel, switching mechanism, preheaters, and other equipment. Unlike the G-6800 machine operating at two pressure levels, the BR-6 nitrogen-oxygen plant is designed for a low pressure level, a system used earlier only in technical oxygen plants. The low-pressure system makes it possible to eliminate reciprocating engines, chemical air purifiers for removing carbon dioxide from the air, an ammonium refrigeration unit, and reversible heat exchangers for freezing out the moisture thus resulting in a highly efficient unit.

IND vs SA: Temba Bavuma – Van der Dussen hit centuries, Team India need 297 to win
South African duo of Temba Bavuma and Rassie van der Dussen hit their respective centuries to help the hosts score 296 runs.
The Proteas decimated Team India with a phenomenal batting display as Indian bowlers struggled to get a grip on the game. While Bavuma scored 110 in 143 balls, Rassie Van der Dussen struck an unbeaten 129 off 96 deliveries.
Team India started well as Jasprit Bumrah dismissed Janeman Malan early in the fourth over for 19 runs and soon Quinton de Kock was also departed having scored just 27 runs.
Aiden Markram was also then sent back to the dressing room early after some good fielding from Venkatesh Iyer but then Bavuma and Rassie van der Dussen steadied the ship and slowly but steadily they helped put up a big partnership of 204 runs and brought the hosts right back into contention.
None of the Indian bowlers could make an impact in Boland Park as Bumrah picked up two wickets and Ravichandran Ashwin got a solitary scalp.
Team India will have to score 297 runs in their respective 50 overs to win the first ODI, however, it will be an uphill task if the recent batting performances are anything to go by.
In the meantime, you can follow our live blog here.

The North Carolina Democratic Party has an early fundraising advantage over the state Republican Party thanks to intensive efforts by Gov. Roy Cooper and others to try to take General Assembly control away from the GOP.
The state Democratic Party raised nearly $1.7 million in the first half of the year. The North Carolina GOP total is one-fourth that amount, or $422,000. Democrats had $1.9 million in cash on hand while Republicans had $182,000. Figures were in state campaign reports due last Friday. […]
But, but, but Zan and Ma Cotten and lil’ Cotten all said …..
[…] Cooper and Democratic leaders already have announced raising over $1 million for state House and Senate campaigns. The next elections are in November 2018 after a three-judge panel rejected late Monday a request to move them up due to redistricting that’s soon to occur. In the first half of 2015 — the identical period in the previous two-year election cycle — the state party raised about $632,000.
“Democrats across the state are unified, fired up and determined to help move our state forward and break the Republican supermajority,” state Democratic Party Chair Wayne Goodwin said in a release. “Under Governor Cooper’s leadership, our party is the strongest it’s been in decades.”
Republican Party finances are in line with similar periods and don’t include other GOP sources, like $475,000 raised by Senate leader Phil Berger during the first six months. GOP officials promised later Monday their party would keep an overall fundraising edge when money from campaigns of individual GOP candidates is included.
“Republicans have and will have a significant advantage, even when all the funds are combined,” state GOP Executive Director Dallas Woodhouse wrote in an email.
Really? This is what we’re going with? *”Wait til’ you see how much loot Phil and Timmy have scooped up.”*
And a “significant advantage”? Dallas, $1.7 million is bigger than $422,000. It IS. (Trust me.)
I know it helps to have a governor of your own party in power. But the NCGOP has the legislature. (And they’ve got Dallas and his grandpa.)

Fittings Kit Includes:
- x4 SS m10 thru-bolts, x2 SS Pozi flange M4 wood screws
Our range of Stainless Steel post bases are designed to be resistant to extreme exposure to the elements. By keeping the timber post above the ground level out of the damp areas and allowing the post foot to dry out after rain it helps prevent decay and prolong the life of the post. Bottom plate 150mm x 150mm, 150mm high, post plate 123mm x 123mm, SWL 306kg, weight, 2.5kg SSB1P2
•Technical- IMPORTANT. Please note on all our range of stainless steel post bases the maximum safe height above the finished floor level for any of the post supports is 150 mm. The SSB1 bases may be bolted to the finished floor surface, all the other products in the range of post bases must be concreted into the ground. The post bases are suitable for use on free standing car ports using our M24 full nut and washer set to fix the posts to the post bases by using a mortised hole in the base of the post, The post bases have a base plate with a central threaded post and nut welded to the base and a loose lock nut. The three interchangeable post plates and two post cups also have a nut welded to the plate and screw clockwise onto the post. The plates are adjustable in height from 55mm above the base to within 45mm of the top of each different height post in the range using one of the three the post plates. Care should be taken to run a nut down the thread prior to cutting the post, this will help to remove the burr at the end of the rod on removing the nut. Our post bases have 150mm x 150mm x 6 mm base plates with a 25mm hole in the centre of the plate and four 12mm holes at each corner to take 10mm sleeve bolts. The central post is A2 M24 S/S threaded rod and is welded to the post base on the underside. A A2 M24 full hex nut is fitted to the base of the post and welded to the base plate on the top face. The threaded rod is welded to the underside of the base plate All welds use 308 stainless wire. The finished products are pickled to reduce the blue burn and washed clean or dressed off with abrasive discs. Pre drill a 25mm hole in the center of the post base to the depth required to allow the threaded bar to pass inside the post. Set the post base in the required position rotate the post plate clockwise to engage the thread, set the post plate to the required height. The timber post should be positioned on the plate to check the height, if correct tighten the M24 lock nut under the post cup. drill two 4mm or pilot holes in the base of the post through the pre drilled holes in the stainless steel plate and drive the four 30mm x 6mm stainless steel wood home. The post plates screw clockwise onto the threaded rod posts along with a A2 M24 half lock nut fitted under the plates. The safe working load is calculated using a factor of safety of six.
•Where the minimum amount of visible stainless steel is required the SSNW nut and washer set can be used to help prevent wind lift.
•Price excludes delivery, product is available for next day delivery
•Optional fixing kit available see fixings section

For this art project, I’ll show you how you can use marker, liquid watercolor paints and colored pencils to create a simple Valentine’s Day project that looks great with multiple mediums.
Here’s what you’ll need for the watercolor paint option:
– 1 sheet of 12″ x 18″ white drawing paper per child
– Liquid watercolor paints
– Black waterproof marker
– Medium paint brush
– Colored pencils or crayons
The drawing for this cat is primarily the same as the example of Funky Cat in my book, Draw, Paint, Sparkle. Same eye placement yet with a simplified version of the nose and mouth. The body is similar but before the body is drawn, children have the opportunity to add a Valentine’s Card below the cat’s face.
Here are the steps:
– With a waterproof black marker, draw two dots in the top section of the paper. Add a triangle nose, long line below the nose and then a line for the mouth.
TIP: As you read through the book, you’ll notice a variety of expressions created by the lines of the mouth and eyebrows. Encourage children to really look at the way the illustrator created expression with these simple lines. As a warm-up to this lesson, children can create their own expressions on a blank sheet of paper. Perhaps challenge them with coming up with 6 different expressions.
– Like the funky cat steps, draw the top of the head and ears next. But stop here before proceeding.
– Add a single square or a rectangle below the head. It’s easier to draw the sides and top first. Then, add the paws and arms next.
– Below the arms, draw the rest of the fat, furry body. Add a tail.
For the coloring options, remember, it’s important to use what you have or what feels easiest. You don’t need to use paint but if you choose to, that’s what you do first. Paint the background and the cat with liquid watercolors. Pan watercolors are fine, but they’ll take longer to apply. Liquid watercolors are fastest.
Allow to dry.
Pull out your colored pencils or crayons and add texture lines to the cat. While this step could be done using the black marker, it can also be done using the colored media. Older children will love the opportunity to make a more realistic version of their cat.

text: This study takes a qualititative approach to examine midlife experiences of meaning. The trend in previous research has been to find sources of meaning in people's lives. Reker and Wong's (1988) theory of the structure of meaning is explored in relation to previous studies. Depth of meaning is reviewed, and a model proposed of the dimensions of meaning including sources; cognitive, motivational and affective components; breadth; and depth. There were difficulties with the measurement of depth which was found to be non-linear. The model was confirmed by in-depth interviews with 38 adults in midlife, especially the dimensions of components and categories. The results support a process (dimensions) approach to meaning in life. The model was revised in the light of the data, to incorporate the dynamic movement between dimensions, and the formation of cognitive frameworks of meaning.


Every year I’m called upon to help pull together a list of the best inventions of the year for Time. This is partly because advertisers like to advertise opposite happy uplifting technology coverage. But it’s also hella interesting.
Lot of good stuff happened in green and ultra-low-cost technology this year. And of course we’ll have to make room for the iPhone, and the $100 laptop. But so far the item I’m most charmed by is this: bendable optical fiber.
Corning’s breakthrough is based on a nanoStructures™ optical fiber design that allows the cabled fiber to be bent around very tight corners with virtually no signal loss. These improved attributes will enable telecommunications carriers to economically offer true high-speed Internet, voice and HDTV services to virtually all commercial and residential (apartment and condominium) buildings. Current optical fiber installations lose signal strength and effectiveness when bent around corners and routed through a building, making it difficult and expensive to run fiber all the way to customers’ homes.

In her 1961 classic, The Death and Life of Great American Cities, Jane Jacobs skewered the urban planners of the early-to-mid-20th century who viewed cities as, at best, necessary evils, idealized the majestic country estate as the perfect living environment, and hence devoted themselves to introducing rural elements--parks, open spaces, grand buildings--into city life, with disastrous results. The famous "urban renewal" public housing projects of the 1950's, huge high-rises surrounded by large, empty areas of greenery, are typical of the designs of that school, according to Jacobs, and their resounding failure to inspire anything but misery and social disintegration is a testament to the wrongheadedness of the ruralists' ideas.
Steven Spielberg's recent film, Minority Report, is ostensibly about the paradox of free will and moral responsibility in a deterministic universe. But (without revealing too much about the plot) it treats the whole issue in a fairly perfunctory manner; the hero, a futuristic policeman played by Tom Cruise, pursues a resolution to the conundrum of human autonomy pretty much the same way any action hero pursues his designated "McGuffin" (to use Alfred Hitchcock's term for the object--be it a black box, secret document, or missing person--that the hero must find to save the day).
The real focus of the film, in fact, is Spielberg's vision of life in the year 2054, and in Jane Jacobs' old argument about the city vs. the country, Spielberg comes down resolutely on the anti-urban--that is, anti-Jacobs--side. In Minority Report, the city is a filthy, corrupt, brutal place, where herds of soulless people file through soulless public spaces, bombarded ceaselessly with commercial pitches, tracked constantly by identity, and policed by a "department of precrime" that predicts their future offenses, arrests them before the fact, and "imprisons" them by drugging them into a catatonic state that seems little different from their previous urban lives. In an area called "the Sprawl", which resembles a present-day inner-city landscape, the grimy lower classes live squalid lives in decrepit high-rises, hustling to stay alive and ahead of the ubiquitous authorities.
But several times during the film, we see a glimpse of another world entirely: rural settings where happy, fulfilled, emotionally rich characters lead idyllic lives in isolated surroundings of breathtakingly peaceful natural beauty. It's never clear why these people, alone among the hordes, have been blessed with such picture-perfect country estates (there is no suggestion that any of them is particularly weathy, although one of them has a background story that suggests she might be). But it is very clear that any city mouse would switch places with one of these country mice in a heartbeat.
Visions of dehumanizing high-tech urban dystopias and pristine natural Edens are a staple of pessimistic science fiction, of course. But they are normally meant primarily as stylized or symbolic elements; the celebrated rain-soaked futuristic-film-noir Los Angeles depicted in the film Blade Runner, for instance, is more a (magnificently realized) stylistic backdrop to the story than an element of the story itself. The city/countryside dichotomy in Minority Report, on the other hand, is jarring precisely because it appears to be intended as a plausible extrapolation of the present into the future. (The ubiquitous ads pummelling the city folk, for example, are lent verism by the recognizeable real-world products that appear in them.) And as an extrapolation, it is missing the one crucial component that has rendered the city-country debate moot in modern America: suburbia.
Personally, I consider myself an urbanist at heart, and I sympathize strongly with Jacobs' defense of the city. But there's no denying that the suburbs, which already house the majority of Americans and are still growing, provide most people, particularly families with children, with an optimal (to them) compromise between the space and privacy of the country and the convenience and variety of the city. And in a technologically advanced, consumer-oriented world apparently possessed of ample rural space, one would only expect the flight to the security and comfort (not to mention the surveillance-unfriendliness) of the suburbs to expand still further. An imagined future in which suburbia has instead simply vanished without explanation can't be placed front and center in a film--even a science-fiction fantasy--without unduly straining the audience's credulity.

Aaron McGhee scored 23 points and Jason Detrick chipped in 18 as Oklahoma continued their domination of Baylor with a 70-57 win Wednesday night in Norman.
With the win the Sooners improve to 18-3 overall — 7-2 in conference play — and notched their 15th straight win over the Bears since the inception of the Big 12. Baylor has not beaten OU since the 1977-78 season.
Detrick came off the bench to immediately spark the Sooners, scoring 14 of his 18 in the first half.
Oklahoma took a commanding 28-13 lead with just over eight minutes to play in the half, but for the third consecutive game nearly blew a big lead after the Bears went on a 13-2 run to cut OU's lead to four.
Daryan Selvy added a free throw and Hollis Price scored his first two points of the game with two seconds to go in the first half on a driving layup to give Oklahoma a 33-26 lead at the half.
Price went on to finish with a season-low six points, but also pitched in seven rebounds and four assists.
Oklahoma pushed the lead to double digits to start the second half behind an 16-8 run spurred by McGhee, who scored eight of his 23 in that stretch.
The Sooners, who had been outrebounded in five of their last seven games, bounced back on the boards outrebounding the Bears by a 42-24 clip. McGhee led OU's rebounding efforts with eight while Selvy pitched in six boards. Jabahri Brown and Ebi Ere also added six rebounds for the Sooners.
Wendell Greenleaf and Matt Sayman led the Bears with 15 points apiece.
Next up for the Sooners is a Big 12 conference road matchup with Texas A&M this Saturday in College Station.

I wanted to quickly touch base in more detail about Disney themed sessions for the Retro Lovely special edition due at the end of May. I've touched on this here and there on Instagram, and in posts where I talk about my "Fill My May" 10% off regular sessions sale, and I've had people ask for more information. Honestly, it's pretty simple!
1. Figure out what package you want to purchase by checking out our 2022 Price Menu linked here. Once you determine that, shoot me an email by visiting my contact page here on my website! Remember, as long as you schedule your session in May, you get 10% off your regular priced package.
2. Some people know what character they want to be right off the bat, and some people need help narrowing it down. Depending on the package you choose, you can do one or multiple characters. If you have a vision let me know! However, if you're still trying to narrow it down, come up with 3-5 characters that you really like and we'll determine together what will be the most doable for your session based off costuming and set needs. Character's can be from classic Disney animation or live action films, or the Star Wars and Marvel universe. Pretty much any Disney property is fair game.
3. We're not going for outright cosplay here, so we're going to try to keep the styling more pin up inspired. That said, if you already have a cosplay costume for a specific Disney character, definitely feel free to bring it. Usually just pairing pieces with some of the items in my client wardrobe can make it look more vintage. I do have a lot of props and what not from my Disney Playboy Bunny series, but bare in mind i might not have everything and you maybe tasked with bringing in select costumes or props.
And that's it! The "Fill my May" sale will only run until the end of March, so be sure to book your session now before all dates are filled!

Preventive Counter-Terrorism Measures and Non-Discrimination in the European Union: The Need for Systematic Evaluation2 Jul 2011
As a result of the 9/11 terrorist attacks and the bombings in Madrid and London, a prevention focussed counter‐terrorism approach has developed across the European Union (EU). While the majority of these laws, regulations and policies recognise the importance of the rule of law and human rights, it remains relevant to examine whether in theory and in practice certain security measures that were implemented have had disproportionate effects on ethnic and religious minorities and thereby violate non‐discrimination standards. This Research Paper briefly discusses the concept of preventive counter‐terrorism, after which it will go on to consider the use of preventive counter‐terrorism measures in the EU as well as their potential discriminatory side‐effects. A case study will be presented of two of the member states: the Netherlands and the UK. In the conclusion, the need for systematic evaluation of the effect of preventive counter‐terrorism measures in relation to compliance to non‐discrimination standards is discussed.
Read the Research Paper.

Description: This multiauthored entry in the Fundamental and Clinical Cardiology series is divided into four sections covering an overview, new heparins and thrombin inhibitors, new antiplatelet agents, and new thrombolytic agents.
Purpose: It has been five years since the first edition came out. This is a rapidly advancing field, and more information has developed in the last few years that required a new understanding of hemostasis. There are many new agents targeting various steps in the hemostasis cascade.
Audience: This book will appeal to hematologists, but it will also appeal to cardiologists who deal with these agents on a daily basis. Cardiology fellows would find much worthwhile here as well.
Features: The book starts with a review of the clotting cascade and a critical review of clinical trial design, e.g., the lack of placebo controls, equivalences, no inferiority track, the small patient numbers in subgroups of small trials, and inconsistent end-points. The trials in low molecular weight heparin and its role in the acute coronary syndrome are reviewed, as well as those with glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitors. The role of low molecular weight heparin in pregnancy is reviewed, as are new indications for low molecular weight heparin, generally (for example, transluminal coronary angioplasty, inflammatory bowel disease, sepsis, and Alzheimer's disease). The agent Argatroban is the smallest molecule in the class of thrombin inhibitors, and can penetrate and neutralize thrombin at a two-fold increase in concentration. This agent is important in heparin-induced thrombocytopenia and thrombosis, as well as in those patients who require a percutaneous intervention. Hirudin and Bivaluridin are reviewed, and a comparison with unfractionated heparin is reviewed. The new oral agents, Ximelagatrin and Pentasaccharide are important antithrombotic agents in development. The role of tissue factor pathway inhibitor in thrombosis is reviewed, with an emphasis on transluminal coronary angioplasty, cerebral vascular accidents, and gliomas. The importance of protein C and S as antithrombotics will always be important in certain areas, especially warfarin-induced skin necrosis. The interaction of protein C and S with thrombomodulin and thrombosis is well described. There are chapters on the glycoprotein IIb/IIIa receptor blockers. Over 100 pages of the book are devoted to new data on thrombolytic therapy. The epilogue summarizes the present, and points to the future use of anticoagulation.
Assessment: When compared to the first edition, the first few chapters pf this book are nearly the same, but the rest is enhanced by new developments in this important area. The book is full of important information, and is a definite addition to the medical literature. Many of the chapters have more than 100 references to original work.

Breden, a local company specialising in the manufacture and sale of eco-friendly headwear and merino clothing, is relocating to Porto Franco after a major rebranding to reduce the company’s environmental footprint and accelerate its progress towards its sustainable goals.
“We like to imagine that Breden was born in Märjamaa, went to kindergarten at the Ülemiste technology campus and is now starting his school career in the heart of Tallinn, in Porto Franco, turning his gaze from arriving and departing planes to ships. We are an environmentally friendly company with a progressive approach, and we want to follow the same principle throughout the company. That’s why we decided to move to three times smaller and much more energy-efficient offices, thereby also reducing the environmental footprint of our employees,” emphasised Kristel Mets, CEO of Breden.
Breden has changed its focus as part of the rebranding process. The brand, which previously manufactured and sold primarily children’s clothing, is now focusing on headwear and merino clothes, suitable for all members of the family. The company aims to make the planet cleaner place for future generations, and therefore invests in a balance between production and the environment. Breden’s carbon footprint has been reduced year on year, while the company has been able to maintain the same level of quality, fit and comfort.
According to Rauno Teder, the chairman of Porto Franco’s management board, the Porto Franco site and buildings stand out for their spaciousness, brightness, low energy costs and smart solutions. “I believe this is the ideal environment for all new tenants to achieve great success. The port has always been a symbol of freedom, and the spaciousness, size, good location and world-class architecture create a truly diverse urban environment in Porto Franco,” said Rauno Teder. The author of the concept for Porto Franco is Tom Klingholz of the London-based international architecture firm Chapman Taylor. The architectural design is by Estonian architects Mihkel Tüür and Ott Kadarik of the innovative and contemporary architectural firm Kadarik, Tüür. Architects. Porto Franco is also applying for the LEED Gold (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Certificate, which recognises buildings designed, constructed, and operated according to the principles of environmental protection and sustainable development.

TOPICS: Masters adapt message to people’s consciousness – Mother Mary venerated by many Catholics – apparitions in alignment with Jesus’ mission –
Question: What is your perspective on and/or what can you tell us about the significance of the many Marion Apparitions that have occurred in the world since they began in Fatima? What, if anything do these messages and visions have to do with your mission?
Answer from ascended master Jesus through Kim Michaels:
As I explain in the book, Save Yourself, we of the ascended masters are constantly trying to reach human beings and help them raise their consciousness. In doing so, we always adapt our approach to the current level of consciousness of the group of people we are trying to reach. If we didn’t, they could not grasp our message. We also adapt our approach to the current beliefs of the people we are trying to reach. If we didn’t, they could not accept our message.
My beloved Sister of Light, Mother Mary, has appeared to many different people over the centuries. She has done so primarily to reach people in the Catholic Church because it is the largest church which pays homage to her. Therefore, in general you find more Catholics who are open to the blessed Mother.
It is natural that when my Mother appears to such people, she adapts her appearances and her messages to the state of consciousness and the belief system of these people. Therefore, she will generally affirm the validity of the Catholic Church although many of her appearances truly seek to expand the consciousness of Catholics and to bring about changes in the Church. For example, the true message of the Fatima appearances was to expose the need to clean up corruption in the Church in order to avoid a greater calamity. I must tell you that despite what has been said by the official Church, my Mother’s desires and intentions have not been heeded sufficiently by the Church.
As I explain in Save Yourself, there truly are no inconsistencies or conflicts in heaven. We of the ascended masters are working to raise the consciousness of humankind and all of our efforts serve this goal. When you look at the many spiritual teachings found on this planet, a person can easily find seeming contradictions. Yet when you rise above this lower state of consciousness, you will see that they all serve the same goal.
Therefore, the true apparitions by my blessed Mother are very much in alignment with my mission and they serve the goal of raising the consciousness of humankind. I am aware that you can always find words that seem contradictory. Some people will use this to reject certain messages or even to reject all the messages. Yet those who are willing to raise the consciousness beyond that level will see that the seeming contradictions fade away and open up for a higher vision of the true purpose of the ascended masters.
Let me also mention that my blessed Mother has spoken in a more universal context through several sources, and I encourage spiritual seekers to study her message. All of her appearances and messages also serve the purpose of demonstrating the validity and necessity of progressive revelation, and I encourage all spiritual seekers to be open to this concept.

General Motors has confirmed plans to launch a Buick-badged plug-in hybrid SUV.
GM claims the car will be first commercially available SUV to feature plug-in hybrid technology when it launches in the US in 2011.
A choice of 2.4-litre four-cylinder and 3.0-litre V6 petrol engines will be offered, and the car will get the same 8kW lithium ion battery pack as the Chevrolet Volt.
Tom Stephens, GM vice-chairman of product development, said, “Buick has always been at the forefront of new technology, so it is only fitting that the brand should debut our new plug-in hybrid technology in a beautiful new crossover.
“This will firmly put Buick, and GM, front and centre in the advanced technology game.”
The GM plug-in hybrid SUV was originally supposed to be the Saturn Vue, but this was dropped when GM sold the brand to Penske.
The unnamed plug-in hybrid is capable of electric-only propulsion for more than 10 miles at low speeds. Recharging the batteries takes around four to five hours.
