Gilbert girl diagnosed with brain tumor, family prepares for 'Crazy' toy drive [Fitted Hat]

As she and her Gilbert family reeled with the trauma, they looked around at other children in the Phoenix Children's Hospital cancer ward and decided to help.
Her father, Aaron, a pastor at Chandler's Cornerstone Christian Fellowship, and mother, Holly, realized that though Christmas that year would be like no other they'd experienced, they could make it special by giving to others.

"That first Christmas started with our own disappointment that our family might not be together as Kate underwent chemotherapy and her sister and brother wouldn't be able to visit due to hospital flu-season restrictions," said Pastor McRae. "We decided to do something to replace that discouragement and asked Kate's prayer warriors to join us in making the day fun and hopeful for those kids who were hospitalized during Christmas."

With Kate's input, the McRaes named the toy drive Kate's Crazy Cool Christmas and posted it on their CaringBridge page and their newly created prayforkate.com website.

The response of more than 1,000 toy and gift donations was both unexpected and overwhelming. Not only did the children occupying the oncology floor receive gift-wrapped packages, but the largesse spilled over to other PCH children, the outpatient oncology clinic, and another hospital's pediatric ward.

Seeing other children's smiles at receiving the Christmas gifts gave Kate a sense of joy, recalled her mother Holly.

Last year, four days before Christmas, Kate, her parents, siblings Olivia and Will, now 9 and 6, and friends delivered thousands of gifts and an equal number of gift cards to PCH oncology patients. The gifts poured in from throughout the U.S. and the world as word spread via blogs and prayer chains.

Holly McRae recalled the reaction of a 10-year-old patient who also was fighting a brain tumor and blind from surgery, who asked for button-down shirts and anything country. He received a cowboy hat, a guitar, an iPod and more than 40 country CDs, many signed by the artists.

"It was fun to see him revel in a little spoiling during a very challenging fight," she said. "One mom told me quietly she didn't know what she was going to do for her daughter this Christmas; there were no funds left for that. She left smiling with a packed-out car. Not the cure we all hope for but a momentary distraction from a lifestyle that can be overwhelming at times."

Though Kate, now 7, learned her Nov. 21 MRI showed no visible cancer cells, she is still undergoing chemotherapy .

This will be her second year celebrating Christmas at home, but her desire to share with fellow oncology patients, and other children hospitalized during the holidays, continues.

And so, the third annual Kate's Crazy Cool Christmas is under way.

There is a wide variety of gift suggestions and requests at www.signup genius.com/go/requested1/238. Some are simple wishes like gift cards, games or sketchbooks; others more specific such as a digital camera, eight-person tent or Ed Hardy Perfume set.

McRae friend and fellow organizer Julie Dodd of Gilbert said this year there are more sports-clothing requests - including Diamondbacks, Phoenix Suns, Coyotes, Minnesota Twins, Pittsburgh Steelers and Dallas Cowboys shirts and sweatshirts.

Larger items, such as the iPod touch, are in short supply. The McRays and volunteers try to match gifts with children's specific requests.

Chevelle Begins Own "Occupy Movement" With Hats Off to the Bull [Fitted Hat]

Pete Loeffler, lead vocalist and guitarist for Chicago hard-rock trio Chevelle, is wandering through a crowd of protesters gathered as they scrawl various slogans on their signs. The scene is a familiar one in 2011, but it comes with a new soundtrack: Chevelle is in its second day of shooting a video in Los Angeles for new single "Face to the Floor."

Given the current political climate across the country, along with the lyrics to the song railing against greed, it might sound like Chevelle is producing a music-video conceptualization of the Occupy Wall Street movement. Not necessarily, says Sam Loeffler, older brother of Pete and the group's drummer. He views it as more of a "general statement" but acknowledges that the trio has brought the realm of politics into its music — a mixture they've never experimented with in the past. Within a nationwide atmosphere of contempt against the powers that be, this artistic transition was inevitable.
"Now we have to," Loeffler says.

The impending release of Hats Off to the Bull, the band's sixth studio album, signals that change.

Loeffler explains that the band isn't taking sides across the political spectrum per se but that it does favor one side in a battle he characterizes as "America versus our current government" — they're pulling for the underdog.

"Right now, I think that people in America are the underdog — it's brutal," Loeffler says.

In fact, the group decided the album's title would be Hats Off to the Bull since it most represented standing with the underdog, Loeffler explains. Never Bet the Devil Your Head was also up for consideration for the album's title — the same title as a short story penned by Edgar Allen Poe — as was the name Envy. Hats Off to the Bull, however, fits the bill.

Chevelle's staunch opposition to greed is highlighted in the album's aforementioned single, "Face to the Floor," even including a specific stab at Ponzi-schemer Bernie Madoff. Pete Loeffler has previously explained his not-so-favorable opinion on Madoff, saying, "He raked people over the coals, stole, and is a terrible person."

Despite this new exercise in politics and standing with the disadvantaged, don't be too quick to toss the polarizing "Occupy" title at the group, as Loeffler distanced himself, and the music, from the label. "I think there's a lot of people who I agree with that are doing the Occupy thing, and there are a lot of people who are doing it that I don't agree with," he says.

Still, the group has flirted with the "Occupy" label and recently billed performances in Chicago and Washington, D.C., as "Occupy Chevelle." The occupation spreads to the Southeast on the band's current U.S. tour, which stops in West Palm Beach for the 16th running of the Buzz Bake Sale on Saturday and concludes December 16 in Biloxi, Mississippi.

The political clout of Hats Off to the Bull comes a decade after the band's initial rise, with 2002 breakout record Wonder What's Next. It yielded a trio of hit singles in "The Red," "Send the Pain Below," and "Closure" that remain among the band's most cherished. By the following summer, they were sharing the main stage at Ozzfest alongside Ozzy Osbourne, Korn, Marilyn Manson, and Disturbed.

After three more studio albums and countless tours, Hats Off to the Bull — slated for release on December 8 — is getting its fair share of hype. Aside from high rankings among the various radio charts for "Face to the Floor," Chevelle is scheduled for a release-day appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live.

Five studio albums in, Loeffler admits it becomes more of a challenge to create tracks that embody the distinctive songwriting and melodic hard-rock sound that brands Chevelle but explains that the process forces them to progress musically.

"As a musician, as a band, your writing is always developing," he says. "Our writing has certainly developed — you learn how to not only say things lyrically. We've published more than 70 songs, and they're all different — we certainly hope they are — but you have to make something different, something you love, and it gets difficult."

Loeffler says the band searched for new tones to experiment with, aided by producer Joe Barresi, including digging into stockpiles of records released as much as five decades ago. Smaller changes — expect a talk box and an organ to make appearances — advance the range of sounds Chevelle adds to its catalog without abandoning its signature style.

Parsing out his younger brother's writing ability isn't an easy task. "We don't like things to be on the surface very much," he acknowledges. The subject matter of Chevelle's lyrics has historically been inspired by things experienced by the band, like "Vitamin R (Leading Us Along)," from their third album, inspired by a friend of the brothers who developed an addiction to Ritalin. The same inspiration of maintaining the "deep" aspect of the lyrics still applies.

"Pete really likes to write about things that are going on around him," Sam Loeffler says. "He doesn't really like to write about 'he did this,' 'she did this,' 'I love her' — things like that."

David Coulthard: Formula One needs a fully fit, fully functioning Lewis Hamilton [Fitted Hat]

When Lewis Hamilton started a few races back to open up to the media, to bear his soul to the world, I was worried for him.

Hamilton appeared to have made a conscious decision to be brutally honest about his own form, his season, his life.

It made for great headlines, of course, but with each passing race and each collision — whether through his own fault or someone else’s — the pressure on him was piling up and I felt it may have had something to do with him exposing so much of himself.

I take my hat off to him following his win in Abu Dhabi. I saw him just before we did the BBC post-race show and made sure to shake his hand.

After all the column inches, the speculation over his mental state and his driving, he came back and delivered a near-faultless weekend.

We will never know what might have happened had Sebastian Vettel’s Red Bull not blown a tyre on the opening lap but that's immaterial now.
