How to Frankenstorm-Proof a Home
October 29, 2012
As Hurricane Sandy threatens the Atlantic Coast in what's being dubbed as "Frankenstorm," many home owners are asking themselves: Have I done enough to disaster-proof my home? Forbes recently provided several tips on how to disaster-proof a home, including:
- Trim the trees. Make sure the trees around your property are trimmed and pruned. Forbes points out that if your overgrown tree is near a power line, you should contact the local utility company—they may even cut the tree back for free.
- Replace the door. "Consider replacing that rickety old door with a solid wood or hollow steel door equipped with secure hinges and a deadbolt," Forbes writes. Plus, Forbes notes that a door replacement is one of the top things you can do to increase your home's value, according to the annual Cost vs. Value survey.
- Attend to any cracks and leaks. If disaster strikes, any crack in the ceiling or foundation is likely going to become a much bigger problem and make the home vulnerable to more severe damage. Plus, wiring or gas leaks can pose a fire threat.
- Review your homeowner's insurance. "Review your homeowner's insurance plan to see what kind of damages would be covered," Forbes writes. "Make sure your plans includes the proper limit, or the assessed amount it would currently cost to replace your home if need be."

Ever wanted Dog Vision? Nope, me neither. Artist Hung Chi-Penh (whose work can currently be seen at the Virgil de Voldaire gallery in NY) however, has created a helmet that gives you the canine perspective on the world—as well as possible dizziness.
Mr Hung's helmet, shaped like a dog's head, natch, has small LCD displays inside, that are connected to a knee-high tube that looks like an elephant's trunk with a camera at the end. The camera can be controlled either by hand or by moving the body, so you can view the world from different perspectives. So, to recap: knee-high vision; dizziness— sounds more like a Friday night-cocktail-Ad-chums-high heels-dancefloor interface to me.

The Road Not Built: Redefining Progress At Home and Abroad
In an increasingly vulnerable world, we're searching for rooted communities—and what we can learn from them. Read more at our blog, Finding Rootedness.
When U.S. aid agencies look to poorer nations, they too love to fund the building of roads that can deliver crops to markets and ports and bring "progress" to remote areas. After all, who could be against a road?
In our stay in Trinidad and Tobago, the two-island nation off the coast of Venezuela, we discover that more people than we expected are opposed to a particular road. Their reasons turn the prevailing view of progress on its head and add to our understanding of
As we prepare to travel to Trinidad, we notice something strange on maps of the island: The coastal road that goes almost entirely around Trinidad stops for a 17-mile stretch in the center of the northern coast. Our research reveals that government promises and plans to complete the road go back to 1962 when the country gained independence. Some five decades later, still no road.
This intrigues us. So we travel to three towns that surround the no-road area in part to see what life is like at the end of the road and to find out the "what," "why" and "how" of the unfinished project.
First stop, the town of Blanchisseuse, where Marvin Glaude, a thirtyish-year-old fisherman, on the western edge of the road's end. Very early one morning, we accompany him on a 22-foot boat to fish and to see what lies beyond the end of the road.
Marvin skillfully navigates the boat between huge rocks jutting out of the crashing waves into Paria Bay, a stunning stretch of beach accessible only by boat or foot trails through the rainforest. We ask Marvin if he wants the government to complete the road along the coast here. He replies without hesitation: "I'm vexed by the road. It would ruin the forest and the beach. Rich people would buy the land along the road and build huge houses."
As it is now, Marvin and local guides make some income bringing people through the forest and across the beaches to see waterfalls, many of the country's 430 bird species, and magnificent which return yearly to lay eggs on the northern beaches.
Second stop, the mountain village of Brasso Seco, perched several miles above the 17-mile stretch of beaches, rivers, and rocky gorges. Here, Carl Fitzjames and his wife Kelly Warren are among those building "" around the area's largely unspoiled forests, teeming with birds, frogs, and butterflies. Carl opposes the road, fearing that such easy and increased access will "slowly destroy the forest and all that lives inside it." Beyond that, he explains, this northern mountain range is the source of most of Trinidad's rivers and fresh water; a road would certainly damage the watershed. As Carl and Kelly see it, these mountains and this biodiversity are the real of this country. Not only does the couple not want a road, they want the entire mountain region to be declared a protected area to be stewarded by the people who live around it and in it.
Finally, we travel to Matelot where the road ends in the northeast. Beyond it, a long wooden footbridge straddles the Matelot River and leads to the area's secondary school. And then—only high coastal mountains and trails to Paria Bay, and onward along the coast to Blanchisseuse or inland to Brasso Seco.
As we stand on the Matelot footbridge, looking at the large fish below, a man walks over to see what we are up to. It turns out he actually works in Vancouver but comes back home to Matelot for long stretches of time. Ah, we think, finishing the road will make his travels easier. Does he want the road? He is not sure. His reservations concern the cultural changes that will come should the "riff-raff" from the capital city find Matelot even more accessible. He shudders as he tells us about the that has begun to use the northern coast of Trinidad as a trans-shipment point to the U.S. market. He worries about a road bringing the violence that comes with drugs into the relatively peaceful northeast: "People will get killed."
Near Matelot, we meet Michael Aviles, a tall, broad-shouldered man who runs the , located east of where the road ends. He is a former senator who grows his own basic food crops and was a key leader of the most recent fight against the road. Michael laments that the central government in Port of Spain has historically been filled with people with an "oil and gas mentality"—with top officials disparaging those opposing the road as being against "progress" and wanting "to protect the little green frog and the little green leaf." On the other hand, he tells us how, at a local level, the anti-road campaign convinced each of the village councils in the area to sign a petition of opposition, which was brought to the Environment Minister.
Overall, Michael credits community solidarity with the success in the most recent attempts to keep the road from being built.
Oh, and also "Google technology."
Michael breaks into a grin as he recounts trekking with two "" across the 17 miles of hiking trails: With their laptop, "they used the Google technology to calculate that a road would require cutting 385,000 trees and would need 27 bridges to span the steep gorges. This would be devastating to the watersheds, to the biodiversity, and it would have huge costs." Thanks to these protests and the new, damning information, the government put the road "on the back burner."
Still, Michael reflects, changing mindsets is not easy. "People in government asked me: What's the alternative to the road? I said: 'No road is the alternative.'"
Roads, we conclude, can connect communities and people and are often a good thing. But as we have learned in Trinidad, they are not always the right choice socially, environmentally, or even economically. And this is hardly just a Trinidad tale: Across the globe, in places including the Philippines, Brazil, and Guyana, roads have provided access to loggers, leading to the destruction of the forest.
In the United States there is now a rethinking about our vast network of roads. Many believe that a key to transforming the U.S. economy is shifting from the highway economy built over the past century to a network of high-speed trains that could help make the country less dependent on fossil fuels, and therefore less vulnerable.
Sometimes the road not built is the best way for real connections to occur, the best path to real "progress."

World's Most Beautiful Custom
Mathew Fox's coveted 1950 Mercury is headed to Barrett-Jackson for auction in January 2014. Scott Bonowski and the folks over at Hot Rods & Hobbies crew put a lot of time and effort into this ride to make it look like what it does today. The body was chopped and slapped on top of an Art Morrison Chassis with power disc brakes and more.
"Every part of the car was built with art in mind; the interior is one complete form of art, all bull hide with a custom dash and a one-off shifter with a custom hand-carved shift knob," said Hot Rods & Hobbies Founder Scott Bonowski. The engine bay is unique, and then of course the exterior is a statement in itself with all the brushed nickel items throughout. It's a well thought out package and very fun to drive, yet it's a full-tilt show car.
At first glance you see some elegant body lines that help the car establish its look. The engine is a 502ci Chevy big-block that puts out around 500hp at the wheels with custom DAH Works headers and Billet Specialties serpentine pulley system. An impressive amount of work was done to the interior by Ed Brescia at Fast Ed's Interiors. We're talking about top-shelf bullhide wrapped around the seats that were taken out of a Toyota Solara. The dash glides along the front and gives the car a real rustic look. Everything inside is somewhat modern to today's standards including an iPod connection, air conditioning, and Hertz amp and speakers.
Over at the 2009 Pamona Grand National Roadster Show, this baby took him First in Class, Overall Outstanding Custom, and the Triple Gun Award of Excellence.
Don't take our word for it though, because we had the opportunity to run this rod in our October 2010 issue of Street Rodder Magazine. We have the full feature right HERE. We're looking forward to seeing how much this car can sell for at Barrett-Jackson and we think you guys will like this car as much as we do.

DEAR MISS MANNERS: I was on a flight where my bag was too big to fit into the overhead bin, but fit under the seat on the aisle. I was sitting in the inside seat.
When my seat companion arrived, I asked if it was OK if I left it there, offering to see if I could slide it over to under my seat area. He said that it was fine, so I didn't attempt it.
When I was leaving the plane, I had a woman accost me, saying that she thought that was the rudest thing she had ever seen. I explained to her that I had asked if it was all right.
She responded, "He is only 19; what is he going to say?" Clearly, this was his mother.
I'm wondering your opinion of the situation and if you think I was rude.
GENTLE READER: What has Miss Manners wondering is whether people who used to design rough camping trips to build teamwork among students or employees now work for the airlines. It would make sense, as their specialty is leading people to miserable conditions under which sufferers must rely on one another.
A typical flight is filled with passengers pleading, "Could we please change seats so that I can sit with my child?" and, "Do you mind putting your chair back up a bit so my tray isn't pushing into my stomach?" and, "I'm sorry to wake you, but would you please step into the aisle so that I can get out and go to the bathroom?"
And then there is your request, as well as numerous others related to the storing of carry-on baggage.
Miss Manners would not have thought that sitting next to one's traveling companions, reclining, being able to lower one's tray, storing hand luggage, dozing and going to the bathroom were outrageous expectations. But since airplanes have been refitting the interiors to make these things difficult, and selling marginal improvements, the passengers are at one another's mercy.
Of course, we should try to accommodate reasonable requests. But it is also possible to decline politely. Your seatmate might have needed the legroom, or had something of his own to stow. Sometimes it is possible to suggest an alternative, as you did when offering to attempt sliding your bag to your side. Asked to change seats, someone could say, "This is a premium row. Whoever has your daughter's seat in the back would probably be delighted to be upgraded."
Or one can simply say, "I'm sorry, I can't help you. Perhaps there's someone who can."
You were not rude, but your critic was. Even if you had been, she was rude in chastising you. But if you were embarrassed, think of her poor son. She has just declared in public that at the age of 19, he is too much of a child to speak for himself.
DEAR MISS MANNERS: My wife has cancer and her health is quickly deteriorating. How do I respond when people kindly inquire on how she is doing?
GENTLE READER: "As well as can be expected, I suppose. I'll tell her you asked about her."
This doesn't really mean anything, Miss Manners acknowledges, as one would have to know her condition to know what could be expected. But it allows others to pursue the inquiry or not, depending on their level of interest.
Miss Manners is the pseudonym of Judith Martin. Miss Manners runs Mondays and Wednesdays. Contact her at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Interactive Tools
here to find the number of calories you burn during exercise and daily physical activities.
interactive tool estimates how many calories are burned during common
activities. The food you eat is measured in calories. The energy you use every
day is also measured in calories. You are using energy all the time, even at
rest. The more vigorous the activity and the longer the time you do it, the
more calories you burn.
This tool also uses your weight to
calculate calories burned, because a heavier person burns more calories during
activity than a lighter person.
Health Tools help you make wise health decisions or take action to improve your health.
Your results
estimate how many calories you burn doing a specific
activity, whether it is housecleaning, gardening, skiing, running, or
sitting still. How hard you work (the intensity) will play a role in the calories that you burn. For example, you may choose to do an activity with moderate effort or vigorous effort. This tool can help you think about the
many activities you can do to improve your fitness and health.
Start building more physical activity
into your daily life. You don't have to "work out" to be active. The cumulative
effect of lots of various activities can improve your health and help
you burn calories. For more information, see the topic

This past weekend, bill-sharing fellows Reading and Leeds were tasked with distracting a nation still reeling from the death of its Oasis. Their secret weapons were unannounced sets by Them Crooked Vultures, the tweet-happy supergroup of Dave Grohl, John Paul Jones, and Josh Homme who introduced his band as "Michael Jackson" because he's so talented at stage patter. (Incidentally, Nirvana's legendary Reading '92 performance is finally coming to CD/DVD 11/3.) Singer/producer Homme didn't cameo with his bros in Eagles Of Death Metal or Arctic Monkeys, but there was plenty of other crossover fun in the form of cover songs: London HypeMachinists XX did their version of Womack And Womack's "Teardrops," Gossip took on "Sex On Fire" by headliners Kings Of Leon, and Fall Out Boy attempted Journey's "Don't Stop Believing." Elsewhere, Vampire Weekend (this year on a mainstage) played new songs that aren't all that new anymore, Patrick Wolf changed costumes mid-gig presumably to something tasteful and understated, Mike Patton arched his eyebrows a lot, and security cracked down on crowd-surfing by anyone not named Alice Glass. Finally, Radiohead surprised few by including "These Are My Twisted Words" both nights, but no one predicted their Reading set would open with "Creep." Or tease YYY's "Maps" in the intro to "Everything In Its Right Place." (NME says they also debuted a new song, but that is a twisted lie!) Peruse their setlists and pro video, and a smorgasbord of photos from the eventful bank holiday weekend this way…

The Pokémon franchise (Hindi: पोकेमोन Pokémon, Urdu: پوکيمون Pokémon) made its debut in the Indian subcontinent in 2003, with the first broadcast of Pokémon - I Choose You!, in both English as well as in Hindi dub on Cartoon Network India. The respective channel hosted the show for eight years straight (2003-2011) and aired the initial eleven seasons. However, the anime has been shifted to Pogo from March, 2011 in India.

Pokémon: Indigo League premiered on Cartoon Network India on April 1, 2003 and concluded in the same year. Initially, the show began airing on the Toonami block, available in both Hindi and English dub. During its peak, it became one of the highly rated show on the respective channel.
Following the first season of the anime, Pokémon: Adventures in the Orange Islands made its Indian debut in late 2003. With The Rivalry Revival, it concluded in mid-2004. After almost a year of re-runs, Cartoon Network aired the new episodes of the anime with its third season, Pokémon: The Johto Journeys.
Affiliated with Cartoon Network India, a separate Cartoon Network feed was launched for its Pakistani viewers in 2004, which is also available in Afghanistan and Bangladesh. Due to mutual affiliation, both channels were in sync in airing the anime. After a few months, Cartoon Network India began to air Pokémon in two additional dub languages, Tamil and Telugu along with the premiere of second last season of the Original series, Pokémon: Johto League Champions.
In mid-2005, Cartoon Network wrapped up Pokémon: Master Quest thus concluding the Original series of the Pokémon anime.

Advanced Generation series
The first season of Pokémon Advanced Generation series debuted in 2006, on both channels. The first episode, Get the Show on the Road, premiered on May 9, 2006 on Cartoon Network India as well as on Cartoon Network Pakistan. At that time, Pokémon: Advanced was available in two different languages (English and Hindi) on Cartoon Network Pakistan and it was available in four different languages (Hindi, Tamil, Telugu and English) on Cartoon Network India.
The first season of the Advanced Generation series ended in July 2006, resulting in repeats airing on both Cartoon Network channels. After four months, both Cartoon Network channels began to air new episodes of Pokémon and through this Pokémon: Advanced Challenge debuted on November 6, 2006 as well as trailers of the seventh season appearing in Indian theaters. The seventh season ended on January 4, 2007. After the end of seventh season, Cartoon Network began to air re-runs in a new one-hour block called Dastaan-e-Pokémon.
Dastaan-e-Pokémon was a one-hour block, especially dedicated exclusively to Pokémon, on both of the sub-continent Cartoon Network feeds. Available in 3 different dubs, the block premiered on January 8, 2007 with the first episode of the anime, replacing Pokémon: Advanced Challenge. The block featured all of the old episodes, from the first season up to the seventh. Almost a year later, it included a brand new season to its line-up, Pokémon: Advanced Battle, and marked the first time when a season premiered with two back-to-back episodes on Cartoon Network in the Indian sub-continent. The block ended in the end of 2008, replaced by Pokémon: Battle Frontier.
The final season of the Advanced Generation series. Pokémon: Battle Frontier debuted in the month of November in 2008. Initially, it only aired on Cartoon Network India, but began to air on Cartoon Network Pakistan two weeks after its Indian debut. After the completion of the Advanced Generation series, both Cartoon Network channels began the repeat telecast of old Pokémon episodes. These reruns lasted for ten months, and ended with the debut of Pokémon: Diamond & Pearl.

The first season of the Diamond & Pearl series first aired in Pakistan on November 9, 2009 and in India on November 16, 2009. It was supposed to end on January 18, 2010 on Cartoon Network Pakistan but they ended the entire season within 35 days by skipping almost 23 episodes, from O'er the Rampardos We Watched! to A Stand-Up Sit-Down! due to unknown reasons. However, this problem was fixed in the re-runs of the season.
In early 2011, the anime switched to Pogo, a sister channel of Cartoon Network in India, which also aired the Pokémon Diamond & Pearl: Galactic Battles in April. Even though the anime switched to another channel in India, Cartoon Network Pakistan continued to air the show which led to the premiere of Pokémon Diamond & Pearl: Galactic Battles on August 1. The finale of the twelfth season premiered on October 11, 2011 while the repeats of the same season took over the anime slot from the following day.
The last season of Diamond & Pearl series and thirteenth season overall, Pokémon Diamond & Pearl: Sinnoh League Victors premiered on October 3, 2011 in India. During its airing, Pogo skipped two episodes instead of following the actual production order, from The Fleeing Tower Of Sunyshore! and Teaching the Student Teacher!, due to some unknown reasons. This problem was fixed in the re-runs of the season. The last episode of Diamond & Pearl series, that is Memories are Made of Bliss! aired on October 25, 2011 in India. Meanwhile it premiered on Cartoon Network Pakistan on February 1, 2012 and concluded its run with the season finale on March 19, 2012.

"American Idol" has found one of its new judges. Five-time Grammy Award-winner Mariah Carey will join the singing competition when it returns in January on Fox, the network announced Monday at the Television Critics Association summer press tour in L.A.
"I am so excited to be joining 'Idol,'" she said over the phone when Fox entertainment president Kevin Reilly dialed her up on his cell, according to reports.
Carey had been rumored to be the choice because longtime judge Randy Jackson manages her.
"Randy was very instrumental in doing this deal," Reilly said, according to Zap2it, but his comments did not confirm whether Jackson would be back.
Reilly did put to rest rumors that judge Jennifer Lopez might return to the show. She and Steven Tyler are out. He said Fox and the former judges had come to a "mutual agreement" that it was time for them to leave after two seasons.
Below is the official press release from Fox.
Mariah Carey, one of the best-selling female recording artists of all time, has joined AMERICAN IDOL as a new judge. A five-time Grammy Award-winning global superstar with more than 200 million records sold worldwide and more No. 1 songs than any solo artist in history, her 18 Billboard No. 1 singles (17 of which Carey wrote) rival all but The Beatles. Carey joins the judges' panel when AMERICAN IDOL returns in January 2013 on FOX.
"As a singer, songwriter and producer, it's going to be fun and rewarding to help find new talent and give back with AMERICAN IDOL," said Mariah Carey. "I'm currently in the studio working on my new album and its first single, 'Triumphant,' which will be out early next month. I can't wait to channel my creative energy as a part of this show which is a massive global phenomenon."
"We are proud to have one of the world's greatest-ever female singers join our show," said IDOL creator and executive producer Simon Fuller. "Mariah defines the word 'Idol' and will inspire every singer that has the honor of performing in front of her."
"Mariah Carey is a global icon whose list of musical accomplishments is unprecedented," said Cecile Frot-Coutaz, CEO, FremantleMedia. "Having sold more than 200 million records worldwide, she's a true artist, ideally suited to identify and nurture AMERICAN IDOL's next great music superstars. We warmly welcome her to the IDOL family."
"Mariah Carey is the real deal. Not only is she one of the best-selling artists and performers on the planet and one of the world's most gifted vocalists, she also is a successful songwriter, record producer and actress," said Mike Darnell, President of Alternative Entertainment, Fox Broadcasting Company. "She has a deep knowledge of music and a career insight that will make her a really amazing asset to our judges' table and to our contestants. It's the dream of almost everyone who auditions for IDOL to sing like Mariah and we couldn't be happier to have her be part of the show."
With a distinct five-octave vocal range, prolific songwriting and producing talent, Carey has defined the modern pop performance. As a singer/songwriter/producer, she has been recognized with five Grammy Awards, nine American Music Awards, Billboard's Artist of the Decade Award, the World Music Award for World's Best Selling Female Artist of the Millennium and BMI's Icon Award, to name a few. She has two consecutive and unparalleled Billboard Song of the Decade titles: "One Sweet Day" (with Boyz II Men); and "We Belong Together," further marking her massive presence on the charts since her 1990 song debut "Vision of Love." Mariah became the second artist in history and the first female performer to have a song debut at No. 1 with "Fantasy" (1995), the groundbreaking collaboration with O.D.B. of the innovative rap group Wu-Tang Clan. Carey's original holiday classic, "All I Want For Christmas is You," redefined its place in pop culture as one of the greatest holiday hits of all time when it reached
No. 1 on the Billboard charts in 2011, 17 years after its debut. Carey's influential and stellar contribution to the music industry spans multiple genres and is showcased through a multifaceted hit catalogue as well as a long list of diverse collaborations.

Verify your plans well in advance with the proper military authorities. Get permission for flowers, music and photography from the chaplain as each academy and military base has its own guidelines.
If members of the honor guard are also wedding attendants, they must wear military dress. No one out of full dress uniform can carry a sword or saber.
For an overseas wedding on or off-base, determine what papers are required before a spouse-to-be leaves the U.S.
Contact the chaplain early if you wish to marry at a military academy chapel. Since undergraduates may not marry, back to back wedding ceremonies may be the norm following graduation.
Most bases will be able to provide sabers or swords, but if you have trouble finding them, check with your local ROTC office.
Seating of Officers
At the ceremony, the bride or groom's commanding officer and spouse may sit in the front pew if the parents are not present. Or, the commanding officer may sit near or with the family.
Flag and general officers are customarily seated just behind the two families.
Other Traditions
Another tradition is that a midshipman or cadet may give his fiancée a miniature of his class ring as an engagement ring.
Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) personnel may give miniatures of their fraternity rings to their fiancée. During the wedding ceremony, a simple band is exchanged to complete the set.

Read This First (Disclaimer)
Both Cults & Isms are listed here. Not every group mentioned on this site is considered a destructive cult. Some are 'benign isms' — different but not emotionally or socially destructive.
Even cults vary in their degree of destructiveness. The information about benign groups is provided because we have received more than five inquiries about those groups.
There is bound to be information you will not agree with, however it is our conviction that the public should have access to alternative information before deciding whether to participate in any particular group. If they want to know what your group teaches they can ask you directly.
Why provide information about cults?
A goldfish living in a bowl that is painted black on the outside will never know it lives in a bowl unless someone takes it out and shows it the rest of the world. Mindsets can be like that — locked into a `thinking box', unable to see outside because the web of beliefs is so all-encompassing
How can this happen to people like you and me?
Have you ever bought an outfit that didn't fit properly because the sales person convinced you it looked nice? Ever have someone talk you into having another drink when you didn't want one? Ever run into a clever con-artist who had a good line? Ever sign a contract you didn't really want to sign? Getting involved with a cultic group can be as easy as that. (If you still think it can't happen to you take our test in the General Information section. [grin] )
In the USA alone there are an estimated 5,000 cults actively recruiting people of all ages, from all walks of life, at the rate of tens of thousands of new recruits every year. Australia is not far behind. Like most other countries, we tend to import them as soon as they develop.
We hope this site will help you to learn how to establish criteria for defining a cult, how to recognize cultic and spiritually abusive behaviors, and how to guard against unwanted psychological persuasion — the techniques used by cults and spiritually abusive groups to recruit and retain their members (as well as unethical salespeople).

U-M prof David Halperin courts debate with his new book, 'How to be Gay'
"I wanted to know, 'What do I really have to do?'" said Halperin. " What more do I have to do besides having sex with people? Isn't everything else just a cliche or a stereotype?"
To answer this question—about the intersection of sexuality and culture, and how gay men teach each other "how" to be gay, culturally speaking—Halperin created a U-M course called "How to be Gay," as well as a recently released book of the same name that's now gaining national attention.
The book begins with the story of how and why Halperin's class, months before it even started, became a national lightning rod for controversy: An editor at U-M's The Michigan Review alerted The National Review to the course offering in the spring of 2000, and when the NR published the course listing on its website, critics swarmed to condemn what was viewed as an "indoctrination" course.
"The political organizations that were using my class to foment a lot of outrage against the University of Michigan really had an interest in not communicating to people what the class was about, but as portraying it as something completely, absolutely outrageous," said Halperin. "Something that no proper university or any decent professor would have taught to begin with. That this was a class designed to convert straight students to the gay lifestyle. And they didn't really care if this was true or not."
U-M stood by Halperin, fielding countless emails and calls, while Halperin responded to messages and accepted a few media requests for interviews.
"I only accepted to do interviews when I thought that I would in fact have a chance to explain what the class was about, rather than simply to be made the object of media sensation, or provide an opportunity for opponents of the class to get a lot of airtime," said Halperin.
The frenzy finally dissipated, and over the next few years, Halperin taught the class five times before deciding he'd satisfactorily answered, for himself, the questions that gave rise to the course, and thus had what he needed to write a book.
And "How to be Gay" has received some high-profile coverage since its release, including a generally positive review in The New York Times Book Review. But Halperin has been disappointed that "there has not been a single extended mainstream review that has contained an accurate summary of the book."
"I'm not looking necessarily for praise or agreement, and I'm not opposed to or upset by controversy. In fact, I like to have an argument with people about stuff that matters. What surprises me is that people seem to be taking issue with a book that doesn't exist, and that I didn't write. So that makes me think I may have hit a topic that is important."
Halperin's book discusses how the 1969 Stonewall riots in Greenwich Village helped establish and mobilize gay communities, while also sparking a new wave of sexual openness within them. Because for many years, Halperin argues, silenced, closeted gay men had previously clung to certain films, musicals, torch singers, etc. for the purposes of vicarious self-expression, post-Stonewall gay men publicly eschewed these gay cultural touchstones, having supposedly been freed of their need for them by way of publicly owning their sexuality.
Halperin notes, however, that these cultural works quietly remained deeply entrenched in gay male culture, and the book explores why, if there was no longer a need for them, they continued to be important to gay men. Halperin's answer, in part, is that when gay male sexuality was released from its closet, gay cultural touchstones were simply tossed into the closet in its place. But the link between sexuality and cultural subjectivity is one that may be far more complicated than many would like to believe.
"People get so hysterical at the very idea that there might be such a thing as a gay culture, or that there might be a cultural difference between the gay world and the straight world, or that there might be some association between gay male culture and some kinds of gender dissonance or deviance, not to say femininity," said Halperin. "The very mention of this gets people apparently so upset that that they don't stick around long enough to consider what I'm actually saying, or they look at the book and they impute to me all sorts of views that I'm not propounding.
"I'm interested in understanding an absolutely contemporary problem, which is, what does sexuality have to do with cultural form? That's the problem now. It's a problem that has to do with why gay men now would have created such a cult around Lady Gaga, say, or around certain kinds of aesthetic practices or values, whether it's design or fashion or certain kinds of music."
According to Halperin, no existing theory could adequately be applied to the intersection of sexuality and cultural form, so in "How to be Gay," Halperin aims to create a new theory and apply it to some cultural examples—like Joan Crawford—in detail.
"What my analysis implies is that one way to explain gay male culture's investment in some of these figures is to say that gay culture is responding to certain hierarchies of gender and sexuality that pervade the cultural field," said Halperin. "That there are still—we sometimes don't like to believe it, but there are forms of social inequality and social stratification that have to do with the relations between men and women, and masculine and feminine, that have not gone away, and that have structured or have pervaded all of culture, so that we find these iniquities, these gender asymmetries, reappearing in such things as the value of tragedy and the value of melodrama, or the meaning of certain kinds of sentimentality, or the value placed on certain kinds of emotion and emotional expression.
"But these things are in fact gendered. Sometimes sexualized, but especially gendered, and the gendering of them creates a culture which is simply unjust in its treatment of women and people who are marked as feminine, and of people who are also marked as not heterosexual. That a lot of what I describe in gay culture represents a response to this, an attempt to appropriate some of this material so as to resist it and make it into a vehicle for contesting these gendered and sexualized meanings."
At the end of the book, Halperin argues that the disappearance of gay culture isn't a result of the mainstream's growing acceptance of gay people, but rather the destruction of gay communities.
"We're living in a period of great triumphalism about the success of the struggle for gay rights, with gay marriage being the prime example," said Halperin. "And the notion is, we are on the verge of a major historical transformation in U.S., with the complete social integration of gay people into society at large. The very existence of gay culture in such a context seems like a threat to this story that we're telling ourselves of the total assimilation of gay people into mainstream society. And so people don't want to think about it at all. It seems like a completely retrograde topic. But what makes (gay culture) seem retrograde is not the fact that gay culture is or is not dead. What makes it seem retrograde is that gay people nowadays no longer have a choice to live in any other way but dispersed among straight people in mainstream society."
Halperin might be viewed as both an insider and an outsider, given his status as a "bad" gay man.
And while he doesn't think this by itself made him the best person to write "How to be Gay," he conceded that "it perhaps makes me curious in a way that other people are not."

After reading the comments Im now more confidant than ever that many of the prolific commentors on here rarely read the article.
Mon, Nov 19, 2012 : 1:47 p.m.
LOL, Dairy. And what might be worse is that they'd be incapable of understanding the article and book, even if they bothered to read them.

First of all, the title is extremely offensive, and I have to ask if the book as nothing to do with the title, why choose such an off-putting name? After reading a little bit of news about the book, I was furious honestly, but after reading this article, I feel genuinely interested to see what it says. Because I do agree with some points mentioned such as the destruction/degentrification of physical gay communities as being the true reason gay culture is fading, not because straights tolerate us more. However, the first paragraph REALLY turns me off to the book because he basically admits that he wrote it because he didn't feel like a "good" gay or accepted in the broader culture. He seems to have begun his writing with somewhat of a quest to try to diagnose the hobbies, interests and tastes of the broader gay culture as if they are a disease only because they do not match his own in every aspect. I feel that such an approach will do a great disservice to the many complexities of gay identity as if its one simplified mold. So ultimately, I don't know if I really want to read it, or if I do, whether Ill be grossly offended or rather challenged with what he says. I just dont like his approach of, "Im bad, their good, let me see if I can find a causes them to be like that, so I can feel better about being un-caused".

With all the worldly tragedies, wars and a few other maladies going I guess now I should focus on How to be Gay. I think I'll go walk my dog.

With all the wars and tragedies going on in the world, how could you even think to have a dog?

Being gay is not a choice, and you don't "learn" how to become it. Being LGBT is ok, there is nothing wrong with it! They should be allowed to marry, even if it is becoming married to a member of the same sex. Love is still love.
Sun, Nov 18, 2012 : 1:02 p.m.
@ Usual, please answer the question: When you were a kid (or maybe adult) and you were attracted to both girls and boys, what made you decide to be only attracted to girls?
Sat, Nov 17, 2012 : 4:25 p.m.
@ Suspect: Were you born attracted to both men and women and just chose one?

Sat, Nov 17, 2012 : 3:17 p.m.
Class, do you have scientific support for that claim?
Sat, Nov 17, 2012 : 3:09 p.m.
2014, it looks like you might be misreading what the book is trying to convey. Academics who study sexuality and gender give attention to how our outward expression is influenced by culture. I don't think the author is suggesting that sexual orientation is a choice. What he is suggesting is learned is how people express their orientation - and that holds true for heterosexuals as well.
Sat, Nov 17, 2012 : 2:57 p.m.
Class, i couldn't agree with you more. Gay or Straight, Love is Great!!!!!
Sat, Nov 17, 2012 : 2:08 p.m.
There was an interesting article in The New Yorker ("Love on the March" 11/12/2012) that extensively refers to Halperin's book and class. I'm not remotely connected with that culture (why would I be? I'm a middle-age heterosexual) but it the topic has piqued my curiosity. Not so much in gay culture but in the formation and subsequent identity of any subculture (dog owners, quilt makers, Michigan militia, etc.). I'd be interested in seeing whether the far right will publish their own book, "The Idiot's Guide to Homophobia".
Sat, Nov 17, 2012 : 5:07 p.m.
Mich Man - no doubt you're right. People tend to gravitate towards topics within their own comfort zone. But I'm afraid you'll have to wait for the book. Perhaps Senator Larry Craig will feel inclined to author it.

Scissors - I am a prolific reader. Really would like to read The Idiots Guide to Homophobia" - where may I secure such a title? I am totally homophobic and I suspect a book like you suggest would strengthen my convictions with empirical/academic vetted data.

On a scale of 1-10 how would you rate this article/book? Zero!
Sat, Nov 17, 2012 : 5:18 p.m.
@Albert Howard, I could rate the article (I'd give it a 7.5 on your 1-10 scale) but I am unable to rate the book as I have not read it. Have you? If not, how can you give it a rating of "Zero!"
Sat, Nov 17, 2012 : 2:52 p.m.
My '666' comment was in reference to those thinking that particular numbers have extra-numerical significance. Not that there's anything wrong with that.
Michigan Man
Sat, Nov 17, 2012 : 1:54 p.m.
AH - Agree - Sounds like a worthless read to me!
Sat, Nov 17, 2012 : 1:49 p.m.
Sure it isn't 666?
Sat, Nov 17, 2012 : 12:55 p.m.
Maybe a follow up book he could write is"How not to be into Myself". I say that because I feel everybody is so into "What's in it for me" mentality. I say this because of all the recent article sin here about every special interest that want more crosswalks, more bike lanes, those who don't, those who can't obey existing traffic laws, etc.

"special interest" + "crosswalks"= people with legs?
Sat, Nov 17, 2012 : 12:46 p.m.
The book's title is actually quite funny, a playful nod to the social construction of sexuality. But the fearful "they're trying to recruit us" reactions it will draw are an indicator of how much homophobia remains.
Sat, Nov 17, 2012 : 2:49 p.m.
even though more people are pro LGBT, there is still many people who are anti- unforunately
Sat, Nov 17, 2012 : 12:41 p.m.
Wow....things have sunken this low uh ? ( BTW if the book was how to be straight my comment would be the same )
Sat, Nov 17, 2012 : 6:36 p.m.
@tdw, I for one appreciate your most thoughtful and cogent reply. And, for the record, I am not one of your "left wing liberals" (redundancy aside). But I do appreciate your incisive and critical insights into the political leanings of the commenters who disagree with you.
Sat, Nov 17, 2012 : 5:15 p.m.
@tdw, you really don't think this book is an instruction manual, do you?
Sat, Nov 17, 2012 : 4:27 p.m.
Johnathan.......I was going to until you piped in.Sorry but I don't need a book to tell me how to be straight.I'm sorry that some gays need a book titled " how to be gay " to be gay.I thought being gay was just how some people were born.I don't dwell on how I was born why should you ?

Sat, Nov 17, 2012 : 2:47 p.m.
And there you have it - another informed citizen with nothing worth saying who won't shut up.
Sat, Nov 17, 2012 : 12:59 p.m.
northside......nope don't need to.( I did read the first paragraph ) the title is all I need
Sat, Nov 17, 2012 : 12:51 p.m.
Did you ever bother to read the article and get a sense of what the book is about? No, I didn't think so.
Sat, Nov 17, 2012 : 11:44 a.m.
Interesting premise, if I understand it correctly. It has made me step back and think about it, which doesn't often happen from any news recently. Thanks!

BALTIMORE – Coming off of a 1-1 double-overtime tie against America East foe Maine, the UMBC women's soccer team plays host to Boston University on Thursday, Oct. 4 at the Retriever Soccer Park. Kickoff is set for 7 p.m., with live stats available at www.umbcretrievers.com and live video atwww.umbcretrievers.tv.
UMBC (1-8-3, 0-2-1 America East) went 0-1-1 last week, falling at Hartford 4-1 on Thursday before picking up its third tie of the season against Maine on Sunday. Junior midfielder Amy Savage (Ottawa, Ontario/Sir Wilfrid Laurier) tallied her second goal since returning from injury, but the Hawks exploded for three first half goals to remain undefeated in league play. The Retrievers jumped out in front 1-0 against the Black Bears on Sunday, as senior forward Rachel McKee (Ellicott City, Md./Mount Hebron) picked up her second goal of the season, however, Maine was able to even up the contest at the end of the first half, converting on a last second goal. Neither team was able to break the deadlock through two overtimes.
The black and gold have five players that have a team-best two goals this season. McKee and freshman back Alexa Quaranta (Baltimore, Md./Perry Hall) lead with five points apiece, each scoring two goals and adding an assist.
Boston (7-5-1, 3-0-0, America East) was led by America East Player of the Week Madison Clemens to a pair of victories last week against Maine and Vermont. The junior forward tallied an insurance goal in a 2-0 win versus Maine and added a pair of goals in a 2-1 overtime win at Vermont on Sunday.
Clemens leads BU and ranks third in the America East in goals, with six on the season.
The Terriers will look to continue their 27-game win streak against conference opponents and their undefeated record versus the Retrievers on Thursday night.

SXSW Buzz-o-meter: Of Monsters and Men, Painted Palms, WIM
By Staff on January 18, 2012
It's 2012, and we're kicked in full gear. We're preparing our ears for some of the most highly anticipated musical experiences of the season. FILTER decided to help you out with getting to know who will bring the buzz SXSW 2012, and we're predicting you'll be praising these picks by the end of the extravaganza in Austin.
Folk-pop band Of Monsters and Men released their EP, Into the Woods, back in December 20, 2011 (not THAT long ago). Reigning from Iceland, these folkie noise-makers earned a slot on the influential Iceland Airwaves festival last year, and got some well deserved respect from influential Seattle radio station KEXP. This year Of Monsters and Men will be gracing SXSW giving musical enthusiasts a taste of Icelandic goodness. Lend your eyes and ears to the video of the band performing "Little Talk" on KEXP below.
Classify pop and buoyant electronics under Painted Palms repetuar. Cousins Reese Donohue and Christopher Prudhomme are Painted Palms, Lafayette, Louisana natives and based out in the Bay Area in California. 2012 seeks a debut LP from the band that has yet to be named. Painted Palms caught the eye of Kevin Barnes from of Montreal, who was impressed by their self-released debut EP entitled Canopy. Their luscious soundscapes and hypnotic sound experiments got them an invite to act as main support for of Montreal's spring 2011 tour. Hear what attracted Kevin Barnes and us to Painted Palms, below!
Breaking it down and tearing it all to shreds, five-piece band WIM take harmonies for a ride, enducing listeners with their catchy tunes. These Australians paid FILTER's Culture Collide a visit back in October this past year (2011), then hopped over to CMJ making a huge impression at attendees from both U.S. coasts. Shortly after, WIM released their self-titled debut on November 15th via on Modular Recordings. Download WIM's self-titled debut, Here. Take a listen to WIM's swoon-worthy tracks below.

I got involved with the show thru Fox producer Kevin Halloran, who had me meet with James Mangold to talk about the cars and how we would achieve the look James wanted. We wanted to approach the car gags and all of the car racing shots as practical effects as much as possible. We wanted to get the cars, the driving, and the crashes with real cars and real drivers, or actors in real cars, as much as we could.

I joined Ford v Ferrari after interviews with Fox VP of Visual Effects Joe Conmy and then James Mangold. James could tell you more about why he chose to have me on board, but I feel we had a similar vision of how to integrate VFX into this movie — both practically and visually, in order to get them as invisible as possible. The plan was to shoot a lot of "real" references, either for lighting or car behaviors, so that we could get as close to the reality as we can. I was on set every day, and everything on this movie was a close collaboration between all departments in order to make it as efficient as possible and not get in the way of James's organic way of shooting.
