Three-pointers: Durant baffles Hawks, ushers Thunder to 12th straight win
By Rob Mahoney
After building up an early cushion, the Oklahoma Thunder seemed content to coast to their 12th consecutive win — an intention that clearly didn't sit too well with the persistent Atlanta Hawks. Slowly but surely the Hawks whittled away at a double-digit deficit, only to be completely overwhelmed by the late-game offensive stylings of Kevin Durant. Atlanta's comeback effort was for naught, and Durant propelled Oklahoma City to a 100-92 win that was a bit tighter than it had to be.
• The rhetoric of crunch time evokes a player who elevates his game in the most crucial moments, but in the case of Kevin Durant that specific imagery has never been quite accurate. Durant, after all, doesn't step up so much as step out — he emerges aglow from within the Thunder offense, sinking jumper after jumper as if makes were an assumption. Wednesday's game against the Atlanta Hawks provided just such an occasion; an easy basket with 8:22 remaining in the fourth marked Durant's arrival in full form, and the first two of 18 game-clinching, fourth-quarter points. Some were scored by way of defensive negligence and others following defensive embarrassment. But Durant responded to each with the same cold fury, a passion for this particular moment nonetheless informed by an undeniable truth. The best player on the floor was taking over, and if I can paraphrase the man himself: This was his [expletive omitted] house.
It's rare to find a night when watching Durant play basketball isn't one of this game's great pleasures, but there's a very particular charisma in watching him ply his trade in such unencumbered fashion. In that, maybe Kyle Korver and the Hawks — who played an active part in their own demise — are to be thanked for their supporting efforts; it was only by their collective ability to be scored over and around that Durant poured in 41 points on just 23 shots, each demoralizing to an Atlanta team that had pieced together an impressive, gradual comeback. Valiant attempt though it was, all the Hawks did was effectively set the stage for the game's leading performer.
• Durant's wildfire fourth quarter was particularly welcome because of all that came before it: a gruesome stretch of third quarter action in which the Thunder succumbed to their inner Hawks. Atlanta has played some fantastic basketball this season by way of their unexpectedly versatile defense — a compliment which doubles as an indicator of where that leaves their offense. There's still enough talent amongst the Hawks to put up points, but when Josh Smith and Jeff Teague are among the high-usage ball-handlers on the floor, there are bound to be fits of mania from which no real basketball actions can be recognized and no sustainable offense can be drawn. For roughly seven minutes, OKC played the same game — wildly pursuing every supposed advantage, and in the process looking to capitalize on events that were hardly working in their favor. Forced fast break tries turned into wild runners. Half-court sets broke down into out-of-control drives and forced passes. It went back and forth as each team attempted to contribute more to the game's general state of delirium, until the Hawks finally settled down into the roots of their comeback try. The Thunder soon answered with a heavy dose of Durant and Russell Westbrook (who was no slouch himself, notching 27 points and 11 assists for the evening) in the high pick and pop — a setup which queued up good attempts for both parties and created the momentum for KD to remove every bit of doubt in the game's result. • As interesting as the Hawks' personnel is from an offensive standpoint, Atlanta seems to have a very real problem of elevating any of its players beyond their most basic attributes. Almost every player on the roster can serve some specific function at an above-league-average level, and the lineup is anchored by two of the most versatile big men in the NBA. So why do the Hawks so often struggle to keep up in their scoring efforts, especially when they have two capable shot creators (Jeff Teague and Lou Williams) setting up much of the offensive action? For some reason, the intuition and order that guide Atlanta's defense hasn't translated as cleanly into Larry Drew's offense, where the team's balance takes form as a bunch of related parts without the means to navigate the space between them in a productive way. They still work some magic by way of talented players doing impressive things, but the Hawks leave themselves almost no room for error with their dearth of offensive rebounding and tragic lack of free throw shooting. Everything they get is from the floor on the first attempt, and while that's clearly enough to win plenty of games (particularly given Atlanta's success with a basic but well-executed defense), it's hardly sufficient to top an opponent as formidable as the Thunder.

Barrons' gift to support work that connects environment and humanities
Posted July 1, 2008; 02:00 a.m.
A gift from Currie and Thomas A. Barron, a 1974 alumnus, offers new support for work at the intersection of environmental issues and the humanities at Princeton University. The Barrons have given $4.5 million to the Princeton Environmental Institute (PEI) to establish an endowed professorship, a fund to support academic innovations and a student prize.
"This gift will enable Princeton to expand its academic initiatives by building crucial intellectual bridges between the humanities and environmental studies," said President Shirley M. Tilghman. "We are very grateful to the Barrons for their confidence in the University and its mission and for their deep commitment to the environmental well-being of our planet."
The Thomas A. and Currie C. Barron Professorship in Humanities and the Environment will be the first endowed chair at Princeton specifically designed for a scholar whose work bridges environmental issues and the humanities.
The Barron Family Fund for Innovations in Environmental Studies will support projects that enrich the curriculum by making connections between humanities and the environment, through field work and independent work by students or faculty members and development of new courses.
The T.A. Barron Prize for Environmental Leadership will be awarded annually to a student who exhibits exceptional devotion to environmental issues in any field. "The key concept here is leadership," Barron said. "This planet of ours needs people who can inspire others in all areas of environmental concern, both in academics and in the wider world."
A charter trustee and former alumni trustee of the University, Barron serves on PEI's advisory board. He has been closely involved with PEI since its inception, having made his first gift to the institute in 1990. Since then, the Barrons have supported environmental studies at Princeton by endowing the Currie C. and Thomas A. Barron Visiting Professorship in the Environment and Humanities, and the Henry David Thoreau Freshman Seminar in Environmental Studies.
"When I look at the impressive array of scholars we now have in environmental studies, I feel enormously proud of Princeton," Barron said. "I'm delighted by PEI's progress on the fronts where it has already grown -- in science, public policy and engineering. I hope this gift will enable Princeton to engage more humanities students in environmental studies as well."
Barron credits the blossoming of environmental studies at Princeton to the strong leadership of Tilghman and her predecessor, President Harold T. Shapiro, and to PEI Director Stephen Pacala, the Frederick D. Petrie Professor in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology.
"They are taking Princeton's longstanding commitment to excellence and applying it to environmental issues," Barron said. "PEI has already become a world-class leader in this area, and we've only seen the beginning of what Princeton can accomplish."
A politics major with a concentration in history, Barron received the Pyne Prize, the University's highest undergraduate honor, and was named a Rhodes Scholar. After earning JD and MBA degrees at Harvard University and building a successful business in New York, he returned to his home in the West to become a full-time writer and conservationist. His many novels and nonfiction writing, which display a passion for nature and a deep concern for humanity and the Earth, have won many honors, and he has received the Wilderness Society's highest citizen award for conservation work.
Barron has been a long-term supporter of Annual Giving to Princeton. The latest gift is part of the University's current $1.75 billion fundraising campaign, "Aspire: A Plan for Princeton."

Here goes my first post ;)
I've been working recently with PHP and XMPP ( Jabber ).
Searching the web, I've found a PHP Class written by
Carl "Gossip" Zottmann that is now kept by Nathan "Fritzy" Fritz.
Talking with Nathan about the Class, he introduced me to Edgar the Bot, one of his projects.
I offered my help to Fritzy, as I've figured that the idea behind the project is very good.
( Edgar was written in PHP and uses MySQL to store reminders and other things. )
I called a friend, Alexandre Carvalho ( a.k.a. alexbh ) to join me in the project.
alexbh took the invinte and we had a talk with Nathan and
defined what would figure in the 1.0 version of Edgar:
1) Install interface;
2) Internationalization;
3) Admin interface;
4) Command modularization;
5) Guidelines;
6) And docs.... lot of docs..
The items 1, 2 and 4 are now ready.
Once the bot's base is a Jabber Class, and I am a Debian user,
I've packaged the Class first. ( I'm now waiting for some sponsor to upload the package )
In the future i will do the same to Edgar.

Colorado River
The Colorado river is hot. We made it over the divide and onto the river by 8:00. Got into a beautiful spot lined with cottonwoods on one side and a steep mountain slope on the other. We saw a minx working the opposite shore and thought if it is good enough for her it will work for us. There was nothing hatching that early so I began with a prince nymph and a BHPT. I landed about a dozen fish before lunch on all sorts of flies including a BH buckskin, flashback RS-2 and PMD emergers. My buddy found some risers and did well with a PMD cripple but I could only manage a couple up top on a small elk hair caddis. We roamed after lunch checking out rumored secret spots without much success. In the evening we happened upon a Secret BLM section and things got stupid. I took a few on the buckskin. The fish liked it best on the swing instead of dead drifted. Softhackles shoud have worked since it was caddis water but they met with only marginal success. I tied on a serendipity that had been sitting unused for quite a while. I tied these years ago and never really had much luck with them. First cast unweighted just under the surface and wham. Fish on. For the next 3 hours we hammered the fish on Size 16 serendipitys on the swing. The fish are not huge, the largest measured right at 16", but they fight like champs. My buddy was not prepared for the viscious strikes and lost at least 5 rigs until he switched to 6 pound fluorocarbon. A good start turned into another epic day in Colorado.
I love that stream. Were you catching mostly browns? I wonder if the rainbows are coming back at all. When I fished there 5-6 years ago, there were very few rainbows due to WD. I always used the buckskin up there, too.
The area around middle park is really pretty. We had a great sunset that night and the stars coming over trail ridge road were as clear as a bell. I landed two and lost one rainbow. All of the rest of the fish were browns. The river is not even close to having the # of rainbows that it once had. At least the browns are doing well. The river that shocks me is the Maidson. I fished there about 12 years ago before WD and caught fish behind every rock. It was amazing back then. Now, two of us fished hard all day and only landed one bow between us. We did not find a population of browns in the river either like the Colorado has.

Guidance counselors visit Binghamton University for SUNY showcase
BINGHAMTON, NY – Close to 100 guidance counselors from high schools across the Southern Tier will converge on the Binghamton University campus Thursday, October 18, to learn more about SUNY and the variety of opportunities the system offers prospective freshmen and transfer students.
Known as Operation Inform or OpInform, the event will be led by representatives from 34 SUNY campuses, who will provide the latest information on SUNY programs, financial aid and the application process. In addition, a series of workshops will cover transfer admissions and other topics.
Binghamton University representatives will offer a special program on social networking websites and the role they play in influencing the college choice of prospective students. Binghamton will also present a workshop on its NCAA Athletic program and the recruitment of student athletes.
OpInform, which starts at 8 a.m., will feature question-and-answer sessions, professional exchanges, displays from SUNY colleges, and campus tours. Every year, SUNY campuses join to hold OpInform events around the state and Binghamton University has been selected to play host for the Southern Tier region of New York.
"We're very excited to be hosting such a valuable professional development opportunity for high school and community college counselors, " said Brian Hazlett, senior associate director of admissions at Binghamton University. "As one of the most selective schools in the system, guidance counselors already know that Binghamton offers college-bound and transfer students an excellent education. Through a campus visit, counselors are also able to experience first-hand the facilities, the students and the faculty."
OpInform is co-sponsored by Binghamton University, SUNY College Admissions Professionals and the Office of Enrollment Management at SUNY System Administration.

VT, you are Truly amazing! Yes, in fact I DID think to display AF(s) or MM(s) on the table at the 2nd Ave. luncheon. Unfortunately, the thought didn't occur to me until I was pointing the damn camera at the table!!!!!!!!!! But as soon as I thought of it, I knew I was gonna hear something about not doing so.
Had I planned better, and had openers of every SWAF item I own, I think I'd have displayed:
(the setting is a clear, cool, late morning in lower-east-side Manhattan...)
the full-sized Snowspeeder from the Series Alpha set (a bit more sandy colored than the single boxed ones)
Die-Cast EP1 droid control ship
Die-cast Droid Fighter
"We have enough youth. We need a fountain of SMART!"
. . .even if i've never seen an nyc deli in person and ewing's pale r/w/b palette woulda probably been a hit within these days' contexts as well btw, in my prev. post above, "dent" was sposed to be "deny"; hope that weren't too confusin also, did i say wonton soup? maybe i meant eggdrop soup. whatEVER- i think they Both look like pre-eaten food
ltb: i think you're right; despite my minimal affection for it, berman might indeed've worked in last week's palette; too bad i didn't remember it however, 1701 & botbay woulda been better suited to my palette of 3 weeks ago (see nov 6 post above). as for voyshuttle, somethin about its palette seems to pop better in summer, along with karemma, ent-e etc. for example, its white just isn't as white as the berman, know what i mean?
we got snow, we got single-digit overnight lows, we got charlie parker skies, we got breath we can see in short, we got:
imp's speederbike
VinTage ig88 figure
interrogator droid
np: king harvest, "dancin in the moonlight"

I'd say we've got snow, we haven't even had a frost and it's snowing for the first time this winter and it's already sticking really well to the ground! Well except for the streets, but that's really odd for Oklahoma, heck, today is even the first day it got below 30 this winter. It's already goin' Hoth! *watches a wampa walk by* Cameos...crazy crazy crazy.
By the way, VT, I added the Voyager shuttle since it had red on the nacelles and the 1701 also had those and since you put the holo DS2 from R2-Q5, I figured those would be good choices too.
"Hokey packaging and ancient gimmicks are no match for good detail on your figure, kid."
"I am a Klingot from Oklahoma in human boy form."
"We came, we saw, we conquered... We, woke up!"
ah, but there's a difference between painted red details (nacelles) and clear orange-red (holo ds)
light metallic blue's the key color this week, simultaneously reflecting the cooler, clearer skies and foreshadowing the metallics which dominate new year's week:
kaz mutha (this week's boullion cube?)
reb transport
alpha xwing
ff atat driver w/k3 commpack & VinTage scouttrooper gun
ahk -good news for gsj, since he just got one btw anyone else seen 2nd ave deli featured in passing in an "eating out"-themed amex comm ("don't leave home w/out a hoagie?" )?
np: inner city (known for the icy sound of its detroit house sound), "do you love what you feel"
p.s: guess what else's in fashion during cold months: FLIX! also, chitchattin about flix! so those fellow MManiacs of mine who haven't already, get thee to a hump, ya humps i was sorely tempted to start that thred here in the mm section so i could stay cozily nestled amongst y'all (i wonder if we're the most clannish forum? personally i mainly read this forum, while only occasionally checking into potj, general & suggestions); but, i decided to play by the rules & put it in "general" where i supPose it belongs
not muchuva coherent aesthetic theory to pull these together, they're just all workin is all:
silver armageddondillo
hound's tooth
b5 station
potj coruscant guard
np: the hoppin, happnin' hump, which it seems a few of you still haven't checked into
a dusting of snow never leaves north-side shadows, and the sun's arc thru the sky assumes its lowest, most rakish angle, leaving most of the sky uncrossed which yields, on clear days, a stark, pale blue light unique to this time of year; very VeneTian :happy: also, nights are their longest, so darkness-mitigating xmas decorations (descended from pagan traditions, according to prof. jdah ) make aesthetic sense no matter how gaudy
-med frigate
-queenship (silver bling-blings multihued lights perfect)
-repcruiser; but since jdah didn't send mine in time for this year , i instead deploy:
-snapfast repcruiser
np: sinatra, "wee small hours"
where she been of late? long time, no nothing!
wazzamatta? yous don' like us no mo?
what's so funny 'bout peace love and understanding
the past 5 months have been ugly around here and are getting worse. We are meant to be moving, everything has been packed for the past 4 months and we still don't have a move-in date. I wanted to be in for Halloween...I'm not even going to be in for Christmas and you know what? The house we're buying is next door to where I live now.... I am slowly unpacking things we'd thought we'd not need etc..It's so depressing.
Apart from that, I am still visiting less and less till EP2 comes out.
seein as how jdah Still hasn't sent my stuff, i'd say jdah protesteth too much in above post so as to spare our (my) feelings, i.e., jdah Don't luv us no mo i forgot to mention, last week was also a great time to deploy ep1 r2
new year's eve report
monty burns' favorite time of year, cuz he's old enough to remember when people Knew how to spend new years: in ritzy, roaring 20s style, swillin joe kennedy's bootleg hooch while flapper floozies charleston the night away! better flaunt them wall street riches before the bank panic, which in mm terms means trafficking in your glitziest baubles:
-darkkon pulverizer (the gv that looks like a nanite; gsj, yours should be falling into your lap as you read this Very senTence, so 23 skiddoo! )
-silver armageddondillo
-alpha atat
-interrogator droid (the ball that drops in times sqaure?)

My problem with Metroplex is that even is big is it is it still does not look like a city.
I could design something that might retail for
$500 but would be awesome
There needs to be a lot of roads in different types of functioning buildings like in a little matchbox city, all connected to it transforms
BAD Pts Need: R5-C7 lf leg (x2), , R4-P44 right leg BAD Pts Offered For Trade: PM me - I have lots of parts now including BG-J38!. New Kyle Katarn is also available.
I'm not dissing you, but I find it a little funny that you are so caught up on scale that you pass on a lot of TF's, given that the original line included a semi truck who was slightly smaller than a cassette tape.
That's my jacket!
Citybots never really look like cities, they're bases, that's what I liked about the G1 figure and I think I'll enjoy it as much here. The official photo of the Generations city mode looks mistransformed.
Darth Vader is becoming the Mickey Mouse of Star Wars.
Kylo Ren - came from Space Brooklyn, although he moved to Space Williamsburg before it was trendy.
The use of a lightsaber does not make one a Jedi, it is the ability to not use it.
All Hail Darth Schmitsky!
Then there are opening "parking" and "ramp" panels on the building parts that can park Cyberverse commander and legion class cars (and of course the airstrip runway and heliport), plus maybe even dirt construction sites that fold in to clean panneling for parts of Metroplex as a robot or battle craft whereas the "dirt tracks" can't be seen when he's in these other modes.
Then, as his battle mode with twin airstrip runways, I think Metroplex should be able to hold some kind of angular lower hull shape, like a twin strip aircraft carrier that would float. But he might also have rocket boosters in the back and aeroline extensions for flight so he could double as a spacecraft - even bigger and badder than The Ark.
You know, the Constructicons could even set up as spies on the Autobot base, at these construction sites or Off-Road areas, unaware that they are occupying space on one gigantic Autobot transformer.
There could even be a small race track arena where Stunticons could be caught off guard, AND a military base of operations where Combaticons and Arialbots could mix in disguise.
Then of course, Protectobots would just be stationed throughout the city.
Perhaps there'd be a water port (pretend) where Seaspray and other aquatic Transformers could be.
Yeah- I'd pay $500 or so for something like that (hopefully less - but with Hasbro not sparing any expense on these features (to include transforming anti-air-assault defense cannons). Maybe it'd even have a space port with launch platform?
Anyway, you'd fill this thing with Cyberverse Commander and Legion class figures - tons of them - to at least include the main characters and room for all the combiners in their separate robot / vehicle modes (land vehicles anyway - some Arialbots might not have as big of runway for all of them in City mode).
As to the scale issue? I'm not a grammar school / high school kid any more. My tastes have changed. Less so than so many people who completely outgrew Transformers and are not represented on ANY toy fan site. But more so than some of you who are not bothered by Soundwave still being the same size as Megatron and Starscream (whereas I think Starscream should be the largest, though Megatron's in control, and Soundwave be appropriately sized if you were to build his robot out of the parts you could scavenge from a larger satelite or a Mercedes Benz.
Meanwhile, I get what you are saying, JT, but Fortress Maximus and Omega Supreme are "bases," without question. So I'd prefer Metroplex be a city. For the Decepticons who get ambushed, he's that much more of a surprise being a true Transformer. I'd expect Maximus or Omega to have battle defenses either way.
As for the Decepticons? I'd have a new character (not Trypticon or Scorponok) created, or maybe two again, from a gloomy, polluted motor city like Gotham as it's portrayed in the Burton movies, and another that's a straight out military base. "Guantanimann" - LOL.
That'd be the fight of our times: Fortress Maximus vs Guantanimann! Sometimes I crack myself up. But I don't see why they don't use that. Transformers never have to take themselves too seriously. Look at Wheelie in either decade's representation.

A guy was getting Springer at Target today and was cool enough to let take a look. Got to be honest, I'm not feeling this one at $25 after tax. In robot mode, I actually think the GDO version looks better, and it's not like I transform them constantly.
That's my jacket!
Springer is on par to RtS Jazz and Generations Warpath in my mind.
G1 Galvatron made a guest appearance on yesterday's Doctor Who.
I finished the RID issues up to date last night. I'm not sure how I feel about the second half of this run, on one hand it was a real roller-coaster ride from issue 11 onto issue 16, but on another hand it didn't feel as special as the first 8 issues or so did. I think it's basically the reverse of MTMTE, although in a way they suffer the same "culminating the first 16" problem. I'll definitely be picking up issues 17 on both though, but not Spotlight Hoist which I hear suuuuucks.

8" lift 2000 XJ 83k miles awesome truck
$7250 cash, and I will look at all partial trades up to about $3000 (so a vehicle worth 3k and the rest in cash. would be happy to trade for a clean similar year XJ with no or less lift + cash.)
2000 Jeep Cherokee Sport 4.0L 4 spd auto 4X4 w 231 T case 83k miles all original powertrain, everything works. Interior is very clean
8" Rusty's longarm kit w QD sway bars, Tom Woods driveshafts front and rear, Advance Adapter SYE. OEM Dana 35's, complete Flowmaster exhaust (sounds like a V8 swap) tons of other stuff. Truck was done RIGHT I can assure you. Never been seriously off roaded. A few trails up north but nothing to speak of.
With the current gears I'm getting 16 MPG which is pretty amazing for a rig like this. This jeep is very streetable, it is my current daily driver and handles highway speeds no prob, no wobble, goes straight down the road. Drive to the trails, no need to trailer....
All standard maintenance done, AMS Oil synthetic oil used every 3k, U joints just changed, brakes done, water pump, plugs etc.
Only thing the truck really needs is tires. Tread is about 20-30% remaining. Currently running 33x12.5x15 Trxus Mudders (comes with unmounted full size spare on rim!) Also will throw in a set of front coil springs and rear shackles that will drop the whole truck 2" (never felt the need to install them the way it handles on-road) Also includes a full length steel roof rack with 6 crappy KC style lights (can be replaced with good ones very easily, wires all run) rack also has a spare tire carrier, shovel, and high lift jack mount (no jack)
I have a drop in stereo (every wire cut to length) for a cherokee I would sell with the truck for a good price. Kicker L7 15" custom box KX1200.1 amp zero gauge power setup 4 channel Alpine speaker amp 2 sets infinity component speakers with xrossovers and tweeters.

When former photographer Joanna Eberhart (Katherine Ross) and her family move to the sleepy town of Stepford, it isn't long before she suspects something sinister is afoot. All of the women in Stepford have an uncanny hankering to do whatever it takes to become the perfect embodiment of housewifery. What makes matters even stranger is Joanna's unshakable feeling that the men of Stepford, including her own husband Walter (Peter Masterson), are involved in something diabolical that transforms the women of Stepford into empty shells of their former selves. But what could it be? Surely they're not being replaced by mindless automatons solely programmed to please the men-folk? Surely not!?
I would love to be able to watch The Stepford Wives again for the first time – without knowing anything about it. From the outset, it is obvious that something sinister lurks beneath the pristine exterior of Stepford's white picket fences and expertly maintained hedges and it soon becomes obvious that the town has a sick and twisted underbelly full of dark secrets that David Lynch would be envious of. Even when I watched the film first time around, I was aware of what the outcome was – I think most people are, simply because its reputation precedes it. The film's influence is peppered throughout pop culture, TV advertising, can still be seen in the likes of Desperate Housewives and has even entered everyday vernacular – those of a somewhat anally retentive nature, keen on keeping up appearances and presenting an immaculate and flawless visage are referred to as a 'Stepford wife.' Having said that, even though you may know how things will turn out for the unfortunate ladies of Stepford, the film is successful in creating an intriguing mystery that expertly builds to the chilling denouement, and though audiences may already know what's coming - it still has quite an impact when it arrives.
Obviously quite dated in style, The Stepford Wives is at times more than a little camp – I think this is part of its appeal though, and there is however still an undeniably creepy menace that lurks at the heart of the film. Joanna's mounting sense of paranoia and desperation is palpable. Her plight is lent a certain degree of pathos in a number of scenes as the story unfolds. The film strikes one of its most powerful chords when Joanna pleads with her soon to be vacationing psychiatrist, exclaiming 'When you come back, there will be a woman with my name and my face. She'll cook and clean like crazy, but she won't take pictures and she won't be me!' The idea that we are made up of our own experiences and by the things we love and do is nicely evoked here. What if we couldn't do them anymore? Would a little part of us disappear and reconfigure what makes us who we are? Who would we be if not ourselves? 'I guess I want to be remembered' states Joanna.
Elsewhere, Levin's take on 70s women's Lib movements continues to wield a quiet power in his approach to portraying subservient (quite literally) android housewives, whose only goals are to please their husbands. The 60s and 70s were radical times as far as social movements were concerned, particularly groups centring on gaining equal rights and opportunities for women. Joanna initially encounters a couple of like-minded kindred spirits amongst the plethora of nightmarishly perfect housewives on Wisteria Lane, sorry, in the quiet suburban Stepford. She finds feisty comrades in the ridiculously leggy Bobbie (Paula Prentiss) and tennis pro Charmaine (Tina Louise). However it isn't long before they too succumb to the mysterious goings on in Stepford. A moment that is both darkly humorous and out-right disturbing occurs when Joanna visits Bobbie, only to discover her friend has changed somewhat… An altercation culminates in a malfunctioning Bobbie whizzing around her now scarily pristine kitchen exclaiming 'Oh Joanna... I thought we were friends... I thought we were friends... friends... coffee... how could you do a thing like that? Like that? Like that? Like that? Friends... friends... I just wanted to offer you some coffee', etc. While quite funny, the scene, like so much of the film has a disquieting undertone.
It turns out that most of the women in Stepford where formerly quite powerful, influential women who held top jobs and were making radical changes to how women were perceived in a typically male-dominated career place. The women of Stepford are rendered no more than the products they mindlessly consume from the local supermarket. This is all down to the conservatively minded husbands and how they believe women should be, namely in the kitchen and thinking only of pleasing their men; parodies of the ideal housewife - all floral aprons, immaculately styled hair and a penchant for recommending various household cleaning products to her friends.
A man carrying a mannequin in one early scene shot in New York provides an arresting image that conveys so much – the power struggle between the sexes and the objectification of women and their form by men.
The idea of women as automatons takes on a comic, though quite disturbing, edge yet again when the malfunctioning Carol (Nanette Newman) glides through a garden party declaring 'I'll just die if I don't get this recipe. I'll just die if I don't get this recipe. I'll just die if I don't get this recipe.'
The opening scene features Joanna alone in her apartment. Though she sits in the midst of the family unit, she still feels alienated – it could be argued this is the plight of many housewives (a debate that still floats through contemporary society): should she stay at home and make her family her priority, or should she strive to realise her own personal goals as far as achieving career success or obtaining personal fulfilment goes.
Despite the campy quality and somewhat over earnest attempts at social commentary that often stray into overwrought territory - Forbes eventually goes all out with the creepy atmospherics and heavy reliance on horror film clichés, such as thunder storms and sinister mansions – a number of provocative ideas play out under an array of seventies floral prints, shag-pile carpets and bell-bottomed slacks. These ideas are where the power of the film lies. Forbes' approach may be varied – is it satire or sci-fi? – but the questions raised by The Stepford Wives are what holds it together and makes it an interesting film that remains relevant, strangely moving and just as topical today.

| What's the worst thing anyone ever said to you when you were trying to lose weight? That's the question we put to Health's Facebook audience, and boy, did we get an earful!
Research backs those responses up. A whopping 66% of women aged 25-55 who have dieted or are trying to lose weight say those closest to them—including spouses and friends—actually undermine their attempts to get slim and healthy, confirms a recent survey by Medi-Weightloss Clinics in Tampa, Fla. Here, the worst things someone can say to you on your weight loss journey—and what your best response should be to stay on course.
(Photo: Getty Images)
| Guilt-inducing? Sure. But typical. Half of all dieters report that other people pressured them to eat food that was not on their diet, and a whopping 56% succumbed to that pressure, usually because they didn't want to hurt the brownie-baker's feelings.
Best response: Pass the buck, says Frances Largeman-Roth, RD, a nationally recognized health expert and the co-author of The CarbLovers Diet, and do it with a smile. "Wow, that's so sweet! I'm not eating that right now, but I'm sure Sally in accounting would love them!"
(Photo: Getty Images)
| This can be a typical response from someone who is jealous of your weight loss efforts but is not aware of it, says Sejal Shah, MD, medical director of the Medi-Weightloss Clinics.
Best response: "Be honest and say, 'I appreciate the gesture and I would like to take you up on it another time,'" she suggests. Better yet, go… but choose a healthy salad, not a fattening entrée.
(Photo: Getty Images)
| Dieters need to expect this kind of undermining, and steel themselves against it, says Greg Hottinger, MPH, RD, co-author of Coach Yourself Thin.
Best response: Let your actions do the talking. Say, "If you're not on board with my weight loss plans, let's change the subject." Keep your responses short and let go of the need to explain your behavior, says Hottinger.
(Photo: Getty Images)
| This suggestion often comes from friends who don't really know how unhealthy yo-yo dieting can be for you long term, says Largeman-Roth.
Best response: "No, those fad diets don't work. I'm on a healthy plan that allows me to stay healthy and still lose weight," suggests Largeman-Roth.
(Photo: Getty Images)
| This kind of undermining usually comes from the man in your life, who feels threatened that your weight loss efforts leave him out—or that you will look so great afterwards that you will make him jealous, says Dr. Shah.
Best response: Try to make it a win-win for him, says Largeman-Roth: "I feel better at my goal weight; then we can do more fun things together!"
(Photo: Getty Images)
| Amazingly, women dieters say they still hear this dig!
Best response: Ignore 'em, or reply, "When are you going to stop being a jerk?"
(Photo: Getty Images)
| This undermining comment is often a way for concerned loved ones to make sure you are dieting in a healthy way, says Dr. Shah.
Best response: "There may in fact be those who develop eating disorders, but I will not be one of them," says Dr. Shah. "I am following a healthy weight loss plan and I check in often with my physician."
(Photo: Getty Images)
| Largeman-Roth says these comments usually come from naturally-thin people who have no idea what you are going through—and never will.
Best response: "That might work for you, but it doesn't work for me." Then change the subject.
(Photo: Getty Images)
| Best response: Kids always push your buttons, but don't let them. Largeman-Roth suggests turning their sharing instincts in a healthier direction with, "Thanks sweetie, but that's not healthy for mommy. Why don't you get me a carrot instead? I LOVE those!"
(Photo: Getty Images)
| Best response: "I want to be my own diet police," says Dr. Shah. "Let them know you don't need any extra monitoring, even if they think they are being helpful."
(Photo: Getty Images)
| Sometimes, it's best to realize that some people will never be supportive, and to surround yourself with those who are, says Hottinger.
Best response: Back away. Take steps to identify those people you can count on for unconditional support, and only go to them for advice.
(Photo: Getty Images)
| Family members can be trouble when you're trying to lose weight, especially because you usually share meals with them. Hottinger suggest negotiating with them to keep trigger foods out of the house and temptation off the dinner table. An informal contract can be your backup when the undermining—"Look what I bought… Ring Dings!"—gets too intense.
Best response: "Thanks, but no thanks… we discussed this and I need to not have these foods around me."
(Photo: Getty Images)
| Best response: Says Largeman-Roth: "How thin I get is my business. You don't want to get TOO RUDE, do you?"
(Photo: Getty Images)
| Best response: Says Dr. Shah: "You know what, in all honesty it saddens me to be the weight I am now. Bear with me while I work on being the fun person I want to be."
(Photo: Getty Images)
| Best response: "Yeah, it may seem inconvenient, but it's worth it," says Largeman-Roth. "The holidays only come around once a year, but I need to be healthy every day."

Family: Accipitridae, Hawks and Eagles view all from this family
Description ADULT ssp. lineatus (the typical subspecies in east) Has mostly faintly barred reddish orange underparts, dark streaking on breast; vent feathers are whitish. Head is streaked brown, and feathers on upperparts are boldly marked with black, white, and brown; note the reddish "shoulders." In flight, seen from below, body and wing coverts are barred pale reddish orange, while flight feathers and tail are barred black and white (black bands wider than the white); note pale bases to primaries, which form a narrow band. From above, reddish inner wing coverts ("shoulders") and head contrast with otherwise dark plumage, but note the strongly barred tail. Southern subspecies are similar, but without streaks on breast. Florida ssp. extimus is very pale overall. Represented in California, outside region covered by this book, by ssp. elegans, which is more rufous overall and has wider tail bands. JUVENILE Recalls adult counterparts but is dark brown above and paler below, heavily streaked on breast, with dark-tipped primaries and more evenly barred tail.
Dimensions Length: 16-24" (41-61 cm); Wngspn: 3' 4" (1 m)
Habitat Common in riverside and swamp woodland, usually near water. Mostly resident but northern birds move south in fall.
Observation Tips Easiest to see displaying in spring.
Range Southeast, Texas, Eastern Canada, Southwest, Northwest, California, Florida, Plains, New England, Rocky Mountains, Great Lakes, Mid-Atlantic
Voice Breeding birds utter a shrill, repeated Kee-yur call.
Discussion Familiar and well-marked hawk. Subtle plumage variations exist among the several recognized subspecies that occur across its wide range, but all adults show striking reddish orange "shoulders." Adopts an upright posture when perched and mostly employs a sit-and-wait hunting approach, scanning ground from an unobtrusive woodland perch (typically a branch); feeds on small mammals, amphibians, reptiles, and large insects. In flight, note broad, rounded wings and rounded tail, which is often fanned. Sexes are similar, but geographical variation is discernible with care.

Once again, I'm new to turkey hunting so any suggestions would be appreciated. This is my current situation and level of experience:
I have never hunted the Fall season. I'm hunting Ft Hood which is full of Rio Grande turkey. Last spring I had little time to scout... however, I found an area I thought would be holding birds, set up a Hen and Jake decoy and started yelping with intermittent Jake gobbling. About three minutes after I set up and started calling, I heard a Hen yelping very near my position. I yelp some more and the Hen came running up to the field and immediately squatted down in the middle of the field. I figured if I could get her going, she would call in a Tom for me. I did some light clucking and purring and she jumped up and ran to my decoys and started feeding. As I watched her, I noticed a Gobbler's head poking around in the underbrush on the outskirts of the field. He never entered the field and the Hen wandered off. I believe I was doing a lost Hen yelp instead of my inteded standard yelp. Could this be the reason this lone hen ran into my spread?
I understand some of the best chances of scoring a bird this Fall are to locate a flock, flush them and try to kee kee them back. I've also heard that agressive purring can draw in turkey during the Fall. I am scouting but don't yet know exactly where the birds are flocked up at. Ft Hood is large, full off deer hunters and I have limited time to hunt in November because I'm off to Afghanistan in December. If I am unable to locate the flocks by scouting, would agressive purring be a successful way to call in Turkey? Should I incorporate Gobbler yelping? Without locating the birds, do I even stand a snowballs chance in hell???

The Sony GS series speakers deliver incredible frequency response with outstanding dispersion and beautifully clear highs thanks to the MRC woofer, soft dome tweeter and integrated 2-way crossover.
The GS series speakers feature a synthetic fabric soft dome tweeter to deliver incredible high-frequency response.
The GS series woofers use Mica Reinforced Cellular (MRC) fibers for supremely light and extraordinarily rigid woofer cones. MRC woofer cones produce exceptional musical transients with little distortion compared to traditional cone materials.
GS series speakers use precision crossovers to match the frequency response capabilities of the drivers. The 2-way, 5000 Hz crossover feature a 12 db/oct high-pass filter (HPF) and 6 dB/oct low-pass filter (LPF) to ensure smooth music transitions.
The GS series speakers use high energy magnets to control cone travel and power handling. The midrange woofer uses powerful Ferrite magnet while the aluminum dome tweeter uses rare earth, compact Neodymium magnets.
Bi-amp speaker systems use separate power inputs for each component of the 2-way speaker system. This lets you drive the speaker system with dedicated power for the High Pass (HP) and Low Pass (LP) channels instead of sharing the power.

These speakers are definitely pretty good. Good price, good design, and not bad sound. Definitely better than stock I'm my chevy sonic. Mounting was easy as pie, and they are definitely louder. I do regret not spending more and getting better ones. If you're looking for just some better everyday speakers, these fit the bill for sure. If you really want a loud system, spend more money and get high quality

Have seen cases like Dave said .
Also I think in the past a double staked dog, present on grounds, couldn't scratch from one stake and run the other. So they'd bring the crazy sob to line and pick him up hoping he'd be steady at the other stake.
I could be wrong about the scratchin thing but it came to mind.

Six months after the opening of the Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts, one of its most potent acoustic features has yet to be fully appreciated. That is until now.
We begin this week by introducing you to the newly installed musical centerpiece inside Helzberg Hall. A pipe organ considered one of the finest concert instruments in the country.
Crafted in the French romantic tradition, it features close to 6,000 pipes, 79 stops and 102 ranks.
It was built by Casavant, the 125 year old French-Canadian Firm, a company renowned for quality organs that have stood the test of time.

God Bless PFC Jamie Harkness. The US Army's newest PFC, but still our neighbor's little girl!
I just read Obama's speech at www.whitehouse.gov, and there is NONE of the coercion, politics, or other dire warning put out by concerned righties!
Sounds like the same advice I've received from trusted mentors during my childhood years. Its really telling kids to accept responsibility for their futures, that there's no future in rapping of basketball for most, so stick with the books and get an education.
I can't imagine anyone who's read the transcript feeling threatened by his words, or that it's trying to indoctrinate youth. Well, indoctrinate them into being good students and citizens, well, maybe.
God Bless PFC Jamie Harkness. The US Army's newest PFC, but still our neighbor's little girl!
That assumes he reads from the teleprompter, we all know how fubar he is when speaking off the cuff.

At the restaurant, this dish is served with cilantro mashed potatoes. The pork has to marinate overnight, so begin preparing the recipe a day ahead.
Leave a Review
Made this dish tonight. It was basically easy to prepare but a bit time consuming. The flavors work great together. It is a restaurant quality dish. My husband and guests loved it. The chipotle adds a wonderful kick. Will certainly make again.
I'm giving this recipe a 3 for taste but a 1 for attention to detail. I cooked the pork 15 minutes less than instructed and only then took the temperature - it was already 30 degrees over, so it's quite overcooked. The jus is a disaster because it too has already taken nearly 45 minutes longer than the instructions, and it is still nowhere near reduced to 1 1/4 cups, so we've had to start dinner without it. It's very tasty, but the instructions are really off. Chef Beware!
A correction to my earlier post: It's roast for 15 minutes at 400F and then for 1 hour - 1 hour 15 minutes at 350F until the meat thermometer registers 155F. Sorry for the confusion!
Definitely something worth doing for a special holiday meal with family or a big group of friends! Well worth the effort and the cost of the ingredients! Used a 5.5 lb standing rib roast and used roasting instructions from the Joy of Cooking: 250F for 15 mins and then lower to 225F and roast for about 1 hour until the meat thermometer registers 155F. Needs some water in the pan (add 1 cup at a time) and baste with pan juices every 30 minutes. I also used 1 1/2 tbsp in lieau of 2 tbsp of cumin as per other reviews. Did the port sauce which really compliments the roast perfectly. Didn't have ruby port so I used 2 cups tawny port and added 1 cup Madeira. Worked phenomenally! The sauce takes a long time to reduce (an hour or so) but well worth the wait. In the meantime, took the extra effort to do the chipotle apples and the cilantro mashed potatoes as per other reviews. Perfect combination!
This was killer! Did pretty much as written, but since I was cooking only for myself, instead of roasting a boneless loin I pan- roasted a bone-in chop, deglazing the pan to make the sauce afterwards. Also substituted ancho chili powder for the brown sugar in the rub so it wouldn't burn while searing, and brined the chop before applying the rub the same day.
I didn't read all the reviews, so perhaps someone mentioned this, but it bears repeating - save your shallots from the port sauce! They make an excellent topping for cheese and crackers. And the apples are really worth the effort.
This was very simple and made great use of a cheaper cut of meat. I did not have time to let the spices sit overnight but I added some Dijon mustard on the top layer of the pork over the spices and it was delicious . I baked it in a clay cooker which keep in the moisture and I recommend this method. I shortened the time to make the Port Jus by adding less broth to the reduced port and sugar mixture. It may be better with a longer reduction time but in a pinch and rushed for time it turned out perfect. My husband asked for it again before he had even finished eating.
What a great recipe! I made this for my husband & myself for our wedding anniversary dinner & we both loved the flavor combinations...the sweetness of the port sauce with the heat from the chipotle apples. Really a dish worthy of a special occasion. We made this with the roasted garlic parsnips suggested on this site & I wouldn't change a thing. I'm thinking about making this again for christmas eve.
excellent dish, got rave reviews at my table, BUT as another reviewer noted, the pork took much less time to cook than the recipe indicated. watch it very carefully. also, be sure to reduce the sauce substantially, as a runny sauce makes a poor presentation. still tastes good.
I made this for my Book Group and served it with Arugula Salad with Manchego, Apples and Caramelized Walnuts, and Whipped Parsnips with Roasted Garlic (from this site). It was fabulous! All of my guests thought it would make a great alternative Thanksgiving meal.

text: Plastics companies have been investing in outreach programs and collaborating with industrial designers for years, but each new project continues to pay off with insights for resin makers not just in terms of how designers think but in new information about their own products. "We went in thinking we would teach them all about our material, but they taught us a great deal," said Eastman Chemical Co.s downstream engagement and design director, Cathy Dodd. The resin makers collaboration with Portland, Ore., design firm Ziba focused on creating a new product using Eastmans Tritan copolyester. The result: a whiskey flask called the Topo, with thick and thin curving lines that mimic topographical lines on a map. Although not initially intended for production, Kingport, Tenn.-based Eastman is showing the Topo to customers, hoping to interest an OEM in taking it to market a liquor maker or perhaps a perfume company or another firm with an end use for small, specialized containers, Dodd said in an interview at the Industrial Designers Society of America conference, held Aug. 15-18 in Boston.

Kane Williamson's arrival on the international cricket scene has brought purist applause. The grace of his off-drives, the control from the back foot and the finesse of his late cuts have added an offside balance to New Zealand's 'wagon wheel'. He has brought precise timing, conscientious footwork and a still head at the point of delivery back into vogue.
Williamson made his one-day debut in August 2010 - two days after his 20th birthday - and played his maiden test less than three months later. He became just the eighth New Zealander to score a test century on debut. He has since cemented the No3 role in both those formats while uncertainty remains over his place in Twenty20s, despite a strike rate of 118.
The 22-year-old has been forced to adapt fast in a team lacking the presence of Daniel Vettori, Ross Taylor, Tim Southee and Jesse Ryder in various capacities over the last few months. In addition, Scott Styris has retired, Jacob Oram has stepped away from his New Zealand contract and Chris Martin is being used less.
Experience and any form of consistent results have been absent since South Africa toured last summer.
"It feels like the team's changed a lot since I arrived," Williamson says. "We had quite a bit of experience but constant injuries and players being out for various reasons left us struggling. On the face of it, that probably looks like more responsibility for the likes of myself but I've tried not to pile on the pressure."
Williamson has arguably contributed as much as anyone to New Zealand's batting over the last year. Former captain Taylor justifiably received the most kudos for the win in Colombo with his 142 and 74, but Williamson's 135 in the first innings - as part of a New Zealand record 262-run partnership in Sri Lanka - was also crucial. Few gutsier innings have been played than Williamson eking out a draw (and an unbeaten century) against a South African attack including Dale Steyn, Vern Philander and Morne Morkel.
In ODIs, his 145 not out at Kimberley enabled New Zealand to take out their first one-day series in South Africa and last weekend's 74 against England anchored the opening win against England. He also ushered New Zealand from the ignominy of a first T20 defeat to Zimbabwe with five scoring shots in as many balls to chase down a target of 201 with two deliveries to spare last February.
Williamson struggles to pinpoint how he builds a successful innings. "I find it really comes down to watching the ball and keeping your preparation simple. Various pressures, like the game situation, affect that and people tend to complicate things under pressure. I just generally try to play straight and 'in the V' early before attempting any pull shots." That is reflected in the Williamson wagon wheel which tends to build from the offside to the legside as confidence builds.
Williamson's one-day credentials suffice with an average of 37.41 (after the second England ODI) but his average of 30.27 after 20 tests needs boosting during the England series. He acknowledges a lull between his South African and Sri Lankan test centuries; he passed 50 once in 10 innings against the West indies, India and Sri Lanka.
"I've had some good bits and a lot of average bits in my career so far; the important thing is consistency," Williamson says.
By comparison, after the same number of tests Martin Crowe (who debuted aged 19) averaged 28.18, Glenn Turner (debuted age 21) averaged 49.60 after 20 tests while Ross Taylor (debuted age 23) averaged 41.55. If Williamson wants to make the step from the tag of 'promising player' to 'world-class No3' there is no better time than now against bowlers such as Jimmy Anderson, Steve Finn, Stuart Broad and Graeme Swann who arguably form the world's second-best attack behind South Africa.
"They are well-balanced," Williamson says. "Anderson and Broad swing the ball at pace and Finn gets good bounce. You don't face many bowlers who can get the ball to move in and away like Anderson."

FERC's attempt to standardize markets have some state regulators up in arms.
The fight over standard market design (SMD) looms large as regulators face the coming year. Passions are heightened on the subject-and everyone has an opinion.
In these pages, takes SMD and other questions right to the top policymakers in six states-Alabama, California, Massachusetts, Michigan, New York, and Texas-for a snapshot of what the thinking is on hot topics. And of course we included the man of the hour, FERC's chairman Pat Wood.
Presidents Jim Sullivan of Alabama and Loretta Lynch of California take off the gloves regarding SMD and leave us with some memorable words. Pat Wood, in his gentlemanly way, simply says "We are listening."
Meanwhile, the states that have moved forward with retail restructuring and RTO (regional transmission organization) development in some form, embrace SMD. As far as the chairmen of New York, Maureen Helmer, and Massachusetts, Paul Vasington, are concerned, FERC merely is catching up to what they already had the foresight to do.
Some issues touch all regions, as the regulators discuss fears over affiliate cross-subsidizations, the need for better customer service, and difficulties replacing aging infrastructures.
Furthermore, insiders at various commissions tell that because of recent events in the energy industry, such as energy marketers like Dynegy and Aquila leaving the business, commission staffs throughout the United States are left with some new difficulties. The exit of the power marketers have left utilities without their intermediary, and have forced utilities to increase their merchant role to include both the retail and wholesale aspects of doing business. So, instead of having marketers manage acquisition of commodities, the utilities now are entering supply contracts with producers themselves.
That has led to more interest on the part of commission staff in understanding and dealing with price-risk management and cost pass-through.
But outside of perhaps the chief economist, many commission staff members have a lot to learn about the new realities of doing business. Also, the greater role on the part of utilities to make deals themselves naturally results in more work for commission staff, and often the staff is too small for the new workload due to downsizing from deregulation. So, on many levels, the next year promises to be interesting for utility regulatory commissions. hopes you enjoy reading this year's Regulators' Forum.
FERC: A Bet on Markets
How are you promoting the SMD with state commissions?
We are undertaking an unprecedented outreach effort to explain our proposal and hear people's concerns. . . The feedback we are getting from state regulators is a critically important part of our effort to finalize the rule. We must achieve a state-federal partnership and realize the full benefits of effective wholesale competition. So we are reaching out and listening to state commissions and trying to build consensus with them on how we can make markets work for the customer.
We've extended the comment period and scheduled additional public meetings to allow everyone to fully review and comment on the SMD proposal. We will further refine the rule, based on

This movie is awesome. It's has a similar feel of the original Jurassic Park but it's more of the people's standpoint.
There's a scene where 2 guys are acting out The Empire Strikes Back for a group of kids which I thought was funny.

In the run up to the 25th March and the publication of my book on the films of Dario Argento, (a book that has been forthcoming and forthcoming and indeed, forthcoming again for some time now!), I thought it would be mighty appropriate to have a look back at a few Italian giallo films – and Italian horror in general - in celebration of the stylish and ultra-violent sub-genre that was popularised by Argento in the Seventies and Eighties.
In the meantime why not swing by here and get yourself in the mood by generating your very own gialli titles and plot synopses with a DIY Giallo Generator kit.

Banged-up Terps Can't Look Pass Tough FIU Team
Posted on 23 Sep 2010 by Scott Lowe.
If you took a poll of random college football fans across the country and asked them who will win this weekend's Maryland-Florida International game, the vast majority would automatically pick the Terps. For Maryland supporters, this is one of those games that you see on the schedule and think that maybe that's one of the weeks you'll give your tickets to friends. However, if past history...
