How to Decorate a Cemetery Plot for Memorial Day

Cathy Kates — Thu, 23 May 2013 12:36:12 +0000

My father died when I was seven, my mom passed in 2000 and at the time I told her I would continue her tradition of fresh flowers in the cemetery basket for her and dad. As I put that into prospective, she drove past the cemetery every day to work and it was easy for her to stop and water the plants in the cemetery basket. I rarely pass by the cemetery now that I am not living in the area and that makes a basket of live flowers nearly impossible. I'm sure my parents understands, but that lead me to research what to use instead of a cemetery basket.

'Hangover 3′ Review

Matt Singer — Wed, 22 May 2013 19:19:18 +0000

'The Hangover' giveth and 'The Hangover' taketh away.

The first 'Hangover' made Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms, and especially Zach Galifianakis stars, and it elevated Todd Phillips from middling Hollywood director to name-brand comic auteur. But in the film industry, success that surprising and enormous demands more success; the beast must be fed. But as 'The Hangover Part II' and especially the new 'Hangover Part III' prove, it is very hard to make a good sequel to a truly original idea. 'Part II' went the rehash route, recycling the plot of the first movie so brazenly you almost had to admire its chutzpah. 'Part III' finally breaks with the formula a little (SPOILER ALERT: there is no hangover), but still doesn't produce anything even remotely worthy of the first film.
