Michael Wermuth, Jr. - Richard Hunt was one of the greatest Muppet performers ever, with many great characters. Today, in honor of his birthday, I'm going to list my ten favorite characters performed by Richard Hunt over the years.
10. Aristotle
Aristotle is one of the few blind Muppet characters, and an even rarer example of a blind Muppet whose blindness was NOT a main source of the character's comedy. Aristotle was one of Richard's few quiet characters, and he did a good job of giving the character some personality. Aristotle might have been higher on this list if more footage was available for the fans to see. For many years, it seemed nobody outside of Sesame Workshop had access to any Aristotle clips, but then in May 2011 clips starring the character were added to sesamestreet.org.
9. Sweetums
I used to think Sweetums was a bad guy, and as a kid there were a number of scenes with the character that I didn't like. As I've gotten older I've come to prefer most of the other full-body monsters, but Sweetums is still an enjoyable character--and certainly the most prominent and popular full body character. He is also one of Richard's few characters to carry on in popularity after the character was passed on to other performers. Some of my favorite scenes with Sweetums include "Two Lost Souls," his duet with Robin, and the park sketch with Sandy Duncan.
8. Bobby Benson
The leader of the Baby Band, Bobby Benson is such a cool-looking character. He's also one of the few characters to regularly smoke a cigarette. Although rather one-note with his Baby Band, Bobby Benson continues to be one of the strangest Muppet characters. At the same time, however, that strangeness is what makes him so Muppety. He made such an impression in his days on The Muppet Show, that he even reappeared in last year's The Muppets.
7. Janice
Janice is the female guitar player from Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem, and one of the few core female Muppet characters. She was not only part of The Electric Mayhem, but was also Nurse Janice in Veterinarian's Hospital, giving her more to do. She was rarely the lead singer or a soloist, but her two lead songs ("With a Little Help from my Friends" and "Rockin' Robin") are great numbers. She was also the only character originated by Eren Ozker to get a major recast, showing how important she rully is, and thank goodness she was recast to Richard, who turned Janice into the wonderful valley girl we know and love.
6. Forgetful Jones
Forgetful Jones is... Uhh... I forget who this is. He must have been a Richard Hunt character, otherwise he wouldn't be on this list. And he must have been a great character if he made this list. He's probably one of the only Muppet cowboys and ripe for Western parodies. He most likely was hilariously defined at his inept best/worst during the classic "Oklahoma" number with Kermit the Frog. At least I think that's who he is.
5. Don Music
Don Music is best-known as the Sesame Street songwriter who banged his head on the piano. He is such a funny character, and I often feel like I get frustrated in the same way as Don (though I don't bang my head on items). Pretty much all of his songs are great, and I couldn't imagine him being performed by any other Sesame Street performer. The life and humor that Richard brought to a seemingly one-note character is just another example of how talented he was.
4. Junior Gorg
Junior Gorg was a great misunderstood "bad" guy. While the Gorgs may have seemed meaner in the earliest episodes of Fraggle Rock, over time we came to care about them more, with Junior being the most prominent and sympathetic. Richard gave him a great voice and an adorable personality. Some of Junior's best episodes include "The Great Radish Caper" and "The Gorg Who Would Be King," the latter putting an end to his conflicts with the Fraggles.
3. Sully
Biff and Sully are one of the most fun, but least known Muppet duos. I always liked Sully better, probably because of Richard Hunt. Sully has a great design, and I can identify with him a bit; it's common for other people to interrupt me when I'm about to talk, just like how Biff never lets Sully get a word in. Sully displayed a hidden talent for playing the piano, one of the few things that Biff ever let him do uninterrupted.
2. Scooter
Scooter, the go-fer on The Muppet Show, is one of Richard Hunt's best-known characters, and a great example or Richard turning a character with little to do but fetch coffee into something greater. Scooter became one of the main characters on The Muppet Show and helped Kermit to cease (or sometimes cause) the chaos backstage at the Muppet Theater. I like Scooter's chemistry with other characters, particularly Kermit and Fozzie. Scooter is also a good singer, having sung such great songs as "Simon Smith and the Amazing Dancing Bear" and "Six-String Orchestra."
1. Beaker
Beaker is one of the funniest Muppet characters, and certainly one of Richard's funniest as well. Beaker has a great design, funny speech and mannerisms, and who can possibly dislike Beaker? Whether he's doing his normal job of assisting Dr. Bunsen Honeydew, assisting Beauregard backstage, or getting the occasional singing opportunity, Beaker is a great character. It is because of the hilarity instilled in Beaker by Richard Hunt that the character grew in such enormous popularity and remains one of the most beloved Muppets today.
Happy Birthday, Richard Hunt!

You've seen the commercials. You've heard the hype. Now there's only one thing you want to know: Which of the new fall shows are worth watching and which should be avoided at all costs? In this continuing series, we give you the scoop on some of the most highly-anticipated shows of the season, with today's focus being HART OF DIXIE, the CW's version of Sweet Home EVERWOODAlabama
The Boilerplate: Since these pilot presentations may go through numerous rewrites and casting changes prior to premiere, this by no means should be considered an official review. Rather a preview of what one can expect come Fall.
The Plot: Fast-talking New Yorker and brand new doctor Zoe Hart has it all figured out – after graduating top of her class from medical school, she'll follow in her father's footsteps and become a cardio-thoracic surgeon. But when her dreams fall apart, Zoe decides to accept an offer from a stranger, Dr. Harley Wilkes, to work with him at his small practice in Bluebell, Alabama. Zoe arrives in this small Gulf Coast town only to find that Harley has passed away and left his half of the medical practice to her in his will. She quickly finds that Southern hospitality isn't always so hospitable – the other doctor in town, Brick Breeland, is less than pleased to be sharing the practice with this young outsider, and his daughter, Lemon, is a Southern belle whose sweet disposition turns sour when she meets Zoe. Zoe's only allies are the mayor, former football star Lavon Hayes, her bad-boy neighbor Wade Kinsella, and handsome lawyer George Tucker – who just happens to be Lemon's fiance. Zoe is out of her element and ready to pack her bags, but a surprise visit by her snobby New York mother leads to Zoe's decision to stay in Bluebell for a while, discovering small-town life and a side of herself she hadn't known was there.
The First Impression: Is — as you might expect from this WB/CW junkie that grew up on a steady diet of GILMORE GIRLS and EVERWOOD — glowingly positive. No really. Despite a premise that has been recycled over-and-over-and-over-again, what HART OF DIXIE lacks in originality it more than makes up for with a ridiculously likeable cast (including Rachel Bilson in the titular role of Dr. Zoe Hart, FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS' Scott Porter as not-quite-Bachelor #1 and relative newcomer Wilson Bethel as potential love interest #2) and a handful of promising plot points (Family Drama! Medical Mysteries! Rival Doctors!) that we look forward to seeing played out. What's more, it's produced by Josh Schwartz (THE OC, GOSSIP GIRL, CHUCK), Stephanie Savage (GOSSIP GIRL, THE OC) and Leila Gerstein (GOSSIP GIRL, ELI STONE), three talented scribes who know a thing or two about zippy dialogue, love triangles and most importantly of all, maddeningly addictive television drama.
The Concern: Plucky, beautiful and funny, star Rachel Bilson is a lot of things, but believable as a wannabe world class Cardiothoracic Surgeon? Truth be told, that remains to be seen. Luckily for Bilson…
The Verdict: Thanks to her off-the-charts likeability, where Bilson leads… we will follow.
HART OF DIXIE is scheduled to premiere Monday September 26 on the CW.

A year or so ago I got in contact with a "new" cousin, Johnny. He had a lot of information on his grandmother, Amanda Barfield, who was my 3x Great-Aunt. His family knew that her maiden name was Barfield, her mother was Sarah, she had a sister, Emma S, and a brother, William L (my Great-Great Grandfather). He was able to provide information on Amanda that I didn't know, but he also had holes in his knowledge.
The confusion with Amanda is that when she married David Lee Rich in 1911, her surname was Benton. I was able to find a 1910 census record for Mandy Benton who worked as a servant for the Coleman family. By this time she was already a widow, so we still didn't know who Mr Benton was and I could not find their marriage record.
When we met for the first time at the Barfield Family Reunion this past Saturday, Johnny was able to tell me that the Rich family was connected to the Coleman family, which is probably how Amanda and David met. As he said, "David just brought Amanda home" after the death of his first wife, and no one really knew where she came from.
After the reunion, I started doing some more research. I don't know if it was luck or new records being online, but I've finally got Amanda figured out. Turns out, I couldn't find a marriage record between a Mr Benton and an Amanda Barfield because Benton was Amanda's second marriage! She had been married three times in quick succession.
I had seen a marriage between a JW Benton and a Mandy Wells in 1905, but I was looking for Barfield, so I moved on. But then I saw a record for Maud Barfield and a William Wells in 1904. Maud...? But the names Benton, Wells, and Barfield all together? And Amanda's sister had married a Wells.... It made me wonder. I clicked on the link for Maud Barfield and sure enough, someone had mis-transcribed Mandy to Maud (I don't know how, it was pretty clear)!
So here's Amanda's timeline:
• 1900 - living with mother, Sarah, in sister Emma Barfield Well's home in Glascock County, GA
• 1904 - marriage of Miss Mandy Barfield and William Wells in Glascock County, GA
• 1905 - marriage of Mrs Mandy Wells and J W Benton in Glascock County, GA
• 1910 - living with Coleman family as a widowed servant in Glascock County, GA
• 1911 - marriage of Amanda Benton to D L Rich
I still don't know who William Wells or J W Benton really were, but at least I have their names. There are no death records in Georgia for this time, so it might be difficult to learn more about them. I think it very likely that William Wells was related to Amanda's brother-in-law, John Wells, so that's a place to start. Yay!

The Final List of dos and donts of using a Volunteer Editor
Here it is, Ladies and Gentlemen, fresh from our own Snooper's nimble fingers; The Final List of "do"s and "don't"s of using a Volunteer Editor.
If you have any other suggestions; please send them directly to Snooper so he can vet them, put them in form (if acceptable) and he'll send them to me to post.
So, without further ado, here they are:
0. When first contacting a VE,
explain what you want from the editing process. Some authors welcome ideas for plot extensions, others only wish orthographic and grammatical advice. Some authors need an urgent response, others prefer a thorough edit.
1. When contacting a VE,
respect their religious beliefs. If an editor says that as a Jedi Knight they are not allowed to sent or receive email on Tuesdays or on Thursday afternoons, respect that. The VE will not expect you to know that, but will tell you if it matters.
2. When first contacting a VE,
make it clear whether you are using more than one VE. Most VEs dont mind you using more than one, but it is nice to know when the VE reads the posted version that more than one hand has shaped the changes.
3. When sending an editing request to a VE,
include your Literotica ID and a
e-mail address that the VE can reach you at. If the e-mail address for your profile is fake, then the VE cannot reply to you.
4. Literotica is an international community. The VE you choose may speak only English.
tell your chosen VE in your initial contact if English isnt your first language. The editing process could be painful for you both if the VE isnt appropriately prepared before making recommendations to you for your story in order to make the story/concept understandable to the English-speaking Literotica public. If youre both polyglot, use that to your mutual advantage.
5. If you are waiting for a VE to reply to your request,
check your junk/spam e-mail folders, the VEs reply may have been filtered.
6. Please, if you are doing a story that has a famous background to it, i.e. SG-1 or some other story,
ask if the VE is familiar with the background. It saves a lot of confusion on the editors behalf. Do not send such stories to a VE who detests plagiarism.
7. The very last moment before sending something to a VE,
run a spell check. The editor is a volunteer and does not want to spend precious time finding the words you cannot speel. The MSWord grammar checker seems to be dedicated to reducing everything to the intellectual level of a fairly bright seven year old or, to put it another way, to what a genius computer programmer would understand.
8. When a VE gets your story, its a cold read.
think of the VE as Joe Public; if something doesnt make sense to the VE, it most likely wont make sense to the general reading public either. The VE does not have the same intense feelings any author does about their baby. By the same token, after receiving back the edited story, no justification to the VE is needed about why the character(s) said or did what they did if the VE recommends a change to a scene the author is most proud of and doesnt want to change.
9. When you receive your edited version,
acknowledge its receipt. Email is still unreliable from time to time.
10. When you have looked through your edited version,
feel free to ask about any comments you may not understand.
11. When you have looked through your edited version, if you think the VE has made a valid point about some facet of your writing,
try to learn from it, and
try to avoid making the same mistake again and again and again.
12. If you have contacted more than one VE to do an edit,
have the courtesy to contact them and let them know which changes you intend to use.
13. When submitting your story
consider acknowledging your editor(s). Please check first whether the VE requests or refuses acknowledgement.
14. When the story is posted
send the link to the VE so (s)he can send feedback or vote.
0. Remember always that the VE is just that, a volunteer.
abuse the generosity of your VE. If you want to know what you are getting for free in, one US dollar buys you professional editing of about 50 words, one Euro buys about 65 words, and one Pound sterling buys about 100 words. One Literotica page is about 3,750 words, so that would cost about $75, or 57.50 or £37.50 at mid-2007 prices.
regard editorial comments, suggestions, or criticisms as personal attacks, or as proof that youre a literary no-hoper and a worthless excuse for a human being. Thats a slight overreaction to a notation about comma confusion.
2. When you ask your VE to do an edit, and (s)he informs you that there are two stories in queue ahead of yours,
start PMing or emailing the next day to ask when your story will be ready.
make mutually exclusive demands, the most common of which are: Fix everything thats wrong with this story but dont change anything and Show me how to make the story longer without adding plot or characterization or dialogue or detail or that kind of junk.
expect the VE to magically alter Literoticas chiselled-in-stone policies simply because you disagree with them. The VE has NO influence with the owners of Literotica. If you absolutely must write about an eight year old Clampett granddaughter screwing a Clydesdale, find another site to post your masterpiece. Its not going to get off the runway here, regardless of how much you whine at a VE.
forget that although most VEs will (however unhappily) double as de facto English teachers and explain the uses of semicolons, few VEs have a burning desire to spend hours debating the origins, history, and logic (or lack thereof) of the rules of grammar. We all know that punctuation laws are often arbitrary and sometimes inconsistent, and that thinking about them may cause flashbacks to the endless hours of boredom you experienced while you were held captive in your early years at school. We cant change any of that. Your only realistic options are learning to peacefully coexist with some widely accepted standard, or else breaking as many of the rules as you wish and then dealing with multi-page rants from the champions of the up with which I shall not put school of English usage.
rip off another writers work and then expect a VE to help you alter it just enough to disguise your plagiarism.
7. Please, if you are doing a story that has a famous background to it, i.e. SG-1 or some other story, do ask if the VE is familiar with the background. It saves a lot of confusion on the editors behalf.
send such stories to a VE who detests plagiarism.
8. Youve received your story from the VE, freshly edited. If you chose to post an earlier version, consider
contacting the same editor for future stories. VEs may have long memories and may not have nice things to say after seeing their time and efforts thrown out if/when they see the story posted on Lit, and never believe they do not check.
NB: these lists are in UK English.

You make as much sense as me! Welcome to my club ... or is that cult? Welcome anyway.

D-backs' farm system loaded with talented arms
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- The D-backs' stock of mound prospects begins with Archie Bradley, the best in the game. But it doesn't come anywhere close to stopping there.
The strength of Arizona's farm system is pitching, even after trading Trevor Bauer, Tyler Skaggs and David Holmberg since the end of the 2012 season.
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- The D-backs' stock of mound prospects begins with Archie Bradley, the best in the game. But it doesn't come anywhere close to stopping there.
The strength of Arizona's farm system is pitching, even after trading Trevor Bauer, Tyler Skaggs and David Holmberg since the end of the 2012 season.
Beyond Bradley, there's Braden Shipley and Aaron Blair, whose combination of polish and stuff led the franchise to grab them with its top two picks in the 2013 Draft. Jose Martinez has yet to reach full-season ball, but he can light up radar guns better than anyone in the organization, including Bradley. Zeke Spruill isn't as sexy, but he is ready to contribute in the Major Leagues.
"We've got some really good arms and good starting pitching," D-backs farm director Mike Bell said. "Archie is knocking on the door and he gets better each time you see him. Shipley, what an athlete, he's really fun to watch pitch. Blair is very steady and Martinez has plenty of arm strength."
And those are just the starters. Arizona may have more quality relief prospects than any system.
The best are Matt Stites and Jake Barrett, who are on the verge of arriving at Chase Field, as are Kevin Munson and Evan Marshall. Stites was acquired in the Ian Kennedy trade with the Padres last summer, while Munson just rejoined the organization after the Phillies selected him in the Rule 5 Draft. In last year's Draft, the D-backs found two more college arms who should move quickly through the Minors in bullpen roles in Jimmie Sherfy and Daniel Gibson.
"We have relievers top to bottom at each level," Bell said. "They're power arms who throw strikes. We have a lot of options for K.T. [GM Kevin Towers] and the big league staff."
While the pitchers take center stage, the system isn't bereft of hitters. Chris Owings, the Triple-A Pacific Coast League MVP, is about to win Arizona's shortstop job. Like Owings, many of the D-backs' best position prospects play on the left side of the infield, including third basemen Jake Lamb and Brandon Drury, and shortstop Sergio Alcantara.
Three questions with Stites
Since signing with the Padres for $45,000 as a 17th-round pick in 2011, Stites has put up spectacular numbers in the Minors: a 1.53 ERA, 150/19 K/BB ratio in 135 1/3 innings and a .159 opponent average. The only thing that has slowed down the 5-foot-11 right-hander was a midseason appendectomy last July, four days before San Diego traded him, Joe Thatcher and a supplemental second-round choice for Kennedy.
MLBPipeline.com: Could the end of July last year have been any more eventful for you?
Stites: That was the weirdest four days of my life. I woke up one day with what I thought was just a stomach ache, and then I thought it was just a tight muscle that I figured would straighten itself out. Luckily, my girlfriend was there, and the next morning I went to the hospital and was told I was going to have surgery that day. I was there for four days, and when I got discharged I went to the medicine shop at the hospital. [Padres GM] Josh Byrnes called to check how I was feeling, then told me I had been traded. I was excited and shocked, but I was also still in pain.
MLBPipeline.com: You participated in your first big league camp this spring. What was that like?
Stites: The biggest difference is that in a Minor League Spring Training game, there's only about seven people there versus thousands over there. I got into three games, including one against the Angels. I'm from St. Louis and watched him growing up, so facing Albert Pujols was fun. I threw him a 1-1 fastball and tried to go away, but [the pitch] got the middle of the plate. He got it and singled up the middle. He generally gets those.
MLBPipeline.com: Your velocity has consistently increased: from 88-94 mph in junior college, to 90-95 at Missouri, to 92-96 in your first year of pro ball, to 94-98 last season. How did that happen?
Stites: Moving to the bullpen really helped me velocity-wise. I couldn't start in pro ball. Those guys have three good pitches and I only have two. I put on 13 pounds in my first year in pro ball. I noticed a velocity uptick in Spring Training, and it took off from there. Workouts have helped a lot, too. The strength and conditioning coaches here are tremendous.
Camp standout: Stryker Trahan
The D-backs drafted Trahan 26th overall in 2012, signing him out of a Louisiana high school for $1.7 million. He has spent the first two years of his career in Rookie ball, batting a combined .266/.370/.467 with 15 homers in 108 games.
Trahan's standout tool always has been his big left-handed power, and scouts have had mixed opinions on his ability to stay behind the plate. He has a strong arm, but his receiving and agility have a long way to go, as evidenced by his 35 passed balls in 84 games as a catcher.
To expedite the development of Trahan's bat, Arizona has decided to make him a corner outfielder. The Nationals did the same thing with Bryce Harper, as did the Royals with Wil Myers prior to trading him to the Rays. Bell said Trahan, 19, has looked good offensively and defensively.
"His bat was ahead of his defense, and we didn't want to hold him back," Bell said. "He needs to get out of Rookie ball, and this gave him a better chance. He looks comfortable in the outfield and keeps getting more comfortable. He's moving well out there. You watch him in batting practice and he's impressive, and he's done it in games, too."
Breakout candidate: Martinez
There's something about small Dominican right-handers named Martinez who throw hard. Jose is a few years away from being ready for the Majors, but his fastball is reminiscent of those of Pedro and Carlos Martinez. (None of them are related to each other.)
Though he's just 6-foot-1 and 160 pounds, Martinez has an exceptionally quick arm. Signed for $55,000 out of the Dominican Republic in 2011, he worked with a mid-90s fastball last summer in the short-season Northwest League, where he limited opponents to a .159 average. Martinez has dialed up even more heat this spring.
"He's starting to get stronger and more confident," Bell said. "He was up to 98-99 mph the other day. He has a plus curveball and his changeup is coming. He's young and he's still developing."
Martinez will have to prove that his slim frame can endure the rigors of a full season, and he'll have to upgrade his control and command as well. But his arm could make him a front-line starter or a closer, and the D-backs are excited to see what he'll do this year at low Class A South Bend.

Thoroughbred Houseboats built a boat for Kentucky State University that Daytona International Speedway and the Duck Dynasty crew will be using on Lake Lloyd February 23-24. Lake Lloyd is infield of the Daytona 500 so the Quack Pack will be on the boat spending time enjoying the Florida sun, doing some fishing and watching the race. Willie, Korie, Si and Kate will all be making an appearance. Some lucky fans will even win passes to take a ride on the boat and meet the gang! You can enter by checking out the "Duck Dynasty" "activations at Midway and Sprint fan zone at the speedway.
Duck Dynasty is a reality television series on A&E. The popular show follows the lives of the Robertson family, who became wealthy from their family-operated business, Duck Commander. The company makes a lot of products for duck hunters, primarily the duck call named Duck Commander. The Robertson men, brothers Phil and Si, and Phil's sons Jase, Willie, and Jep, are featured with their trademark long-flowing beards.
The business began in a dilapidated family shed, where Phil Robertson spent 25 years making duck calls from Louisiana cedar trees. His son Willie is now the CEO of the company.

Germantown Friends has gotten off to one of its best starts in softball that anyone can remember, providing some drama for the fans along the way.
In a non-league outing at home last Wednesday, the Tigers gave up an early lead against the visiting Baldwin School Bears, and then scored a late run to send the game into extra innings at 5-5. An eighth frame still didn't break the tie, but four runs in the bottom of the ninth finally secured a 10-9 victory for GFS, which improved to 5-1 overall.
Germantown outhit the Bears, 12-10, and freshman pitcher Lizzie Becker recorded the victory with three strike outs and one base on balls.
A week earlier, the Tigers pulled off a one-run win that was a lot more meaningful, topping perennial Friends Schools League title contender Abington Friends, 5-4. In that game, Becker rolled up 15 strike-outs and drove in the winning run, as well.
The day after that emotional outing, GFS suffered its only setback so far this spring. The Tigers faced Springside Chestnut Hill Academy, and the Blue Devils, smarting from a loss to Penn Charter in their league opener a day earlier, pounded out a 19-5 victory.
In the middle of last week the Tigers again played back-to-back games, this time in unseasonably warm weather, but now they came through unscathed. The day before the Baldwin bout, Germantown ran its league record to 3-0 by drubbing Shipley School, 16-5. Junior pitcher Becca Bateman picked up that win to go 2-0 for the season, while Becker improved to 3-1 the following afternoon.
GFS, whose other FSL win came against Academy of the New Church (13-5), squares off this week with Friends Central, the defending league champion.
Last Wednesday, Becker singled in the third of the three runs that GFS scored against Baldwin in the bottom of the first inning. After singles by sophomore Liana Spiro and junior Maddie Andrews, the first run came home on a double steal, and then junior clean-up hitter Rachel Allison whacked an RBI triple to right centerfield.
Baldwin got on the board at the top of the third, but the inning ended with GFS up 4-1 after another RBI triple by Allison. Senior Eden Beschen had gotten on base earlier when Baldwin couldn't cleanly field her grounder to the left side.
Becker and company sent the Bears down in order in the fourth stanza and started the top of the fifth with a strike-out. However, a walk, a successful bunt, and a pair of base hits helped the visitors chalk up three runs, tying the affair at 4-4. Next time up, Baldwin edged ahead, 5-4, on a bases-loaded single with one out. With the bags still full, GFS was in a jam, but shortstop Andrews got a put-out on a subsequent force-out at home, and Becker gloved a pop-up to end the threat entirely.
Germantown drew even in the bottom of the sixth, when Allison walked to start things off. A steal to second base then set the stage for an RBI hit to left field by senior Erica Heinz. After a scoreless seventh stanza, the game proceeded to extra innings, where each batting team routinely starts out with a runner already positioned on second base.
Each of the ballclubs scored once in the eighth, then GFS got into a predicament when the Bears took a 9-6 lead in the top of the ninth inning.
For the start of the home half, sophomore Sophie Trotto was the player who started out on second, then she went to third on a wild pitch and scored when senior Rebecca Blaich lined out deep to centerfield. The same part of the outfield was targeted by Isabelle Linguiti and sophomore Hannah Safford, who both got base hits. Beschen directed an RBI single to right field, which made it 9-8 with Tigers on first and third base.
A GFS attempt to steal second caused Baldwin to toss the ball past the bag and into the outfield, allowing the lead runner to score the tying run while Andrews, the batter, waited near the plate.
After a team conference around the pitcher's circle, Baldwin elected to walk both Andrews and Allison intentionally, loading the bases. With the infielders pushed way up, the Bears challenged Becker to beat them, and she did, lining the ball over the head of the shortstop and driving home the Tigers' 10th run to end the game.

Advertisements are one of the canaries of American culture. And, judging by the six hours' worth of TV ads I watched recently, American culture is being debased by an insidious form of comedy.
This supposed comedy has taken the shape of a celebration of the "blah," a passing off of the insipid in place of actual comedy. I watched scores of commercials. All of them were designed to make me laugh. None did.
I'm a professional semiotician, a reader of signs. Three commercials in particular deserve to be decoded.
There before me, hawking the nasal spray Omnaris, is a platoon of tiny men dressed in physicians' white coats. Overhead, like a subplanet, is a giant pink nose. It takes maybe half a dozen of these doctors-cum-soldiers to hoist aloft a giant spray canister, looking like a NASA rocket booster. The bitty men shove it right up to the nostril above them. "Mission accomplished!" one shouts.
Suddenly dark, hard globules of you-don't-want-to-know-what come plummeting from the huge nose onto the Little Men. [Editor's note: The ad doesn't show this, but, viewed in real time, the spot can create this impression.] One of them cries out: "Incoming!" That's the tag line, the corny add-on that ends so many of these presumptively comic ads, aiming for one last grin in the hope you'll recall the spot.
Let's pause here to remember the classical definition of comedy reconstructed from Aristotle's writings: Comedic art inheres in our pleasure at encountering humans worse than the average – the Ignoble. The comic actor puts onstage the Ridiculous, which is a species of the Ugly. The effect of all this Ugliness? Scornful laughter, mercifully separating speaker, spectator, or reader from the Ridiculous.
But this Omnaris ad doesn't reach this threshold. The white-coated men are too minuscule to be Ignoble. "Incoming" is a cliché from war movies. The globules offend taste. This spot's narrative is beneath contempt. I call it, and its kindred ads, the subcomic. This subcomedy is plebeian and quotidian – never too funny to be distracting.
Now Progressive Auto Insurance is onstage. A youngish, nervous man in a blue dress shirt is in a sterile, cold-seeming superstore starkly illuminated in white. The walls and display cases, with their identical blue-bound white boxes, resemble the spare simplicity of Apple stores. Flo, the chirpy Progressive woman, dressed in a white apron over white pants, half-sneaks up to the man: "Hi, may I help you?" She looks and acts in this auto insurance hospital like a loony private nurse.
Man: "Hi, I'm looking for car insurance that isn't going to break the bank."
Flo: "You're in the right place. Only Progressive gives you the option to name your price," each word accented. "Here" – suddenly pointing at him, as if it were a gun, a large blue-and-white labelmaker.
Man (confused, looking at the "weapon" now in his hand): "A price gun? So I tell you what I want to pay?"
Flo (rushing, hustling him): "And we build you a policy to fit your budget."
Man (now giddy): "That's cool!" He uses the price gun on a nearby product. "Ahh … I feel so empowered."
Flo: "Power to the people!" – fist in air.
How could the angry fist of 1960s protest end up being a marketing tag line? How could the slogans pasted on the walls of Paris – Nous irons jusqu'au bout, we'll go all the way – turn into a woman so euphoric you want to apply duct tape to that blabbering mouth?
What were once vibrant, challenging speech and actions have morphed into humor without depth in order to be intelligible to all. Using artist Jeff Koons's work as a whipping boy to make a point about present culture, the late French semiotician Jean Baudrillard said in 1990: "It's a wax museum! It's just mush! You see it, then forget it." The idea is all the more relevant today. Mr. Baudrillard, like every maestro semiotician, excelled at interpreting a sign as something that makes us know something else. That "something else" he discerned was the near future: us, present time.
Baudrillard attributed the advent of this banality to the work of pop artist Andy Warhol, who was able to situate himself at the forefront of our postmodern condition. Warhol was shilling for a new world without passion, profundity, personality – but with just a touch of the aesthetic to lull people into feeling (until the great recession) that their suburbs, kids, cars were "so-o-o beautiful." Were he alive now, I think he would acknowledge our world, ads and subcomedy included, as his stillborn offspring. For that is banality: everything expressing nothing about desire, death, destiny.
That is the way it went, a torrent of structurally identical ads that put me in a daze. Until a bronze light brought me to attention. It came from three women made entirely of thin bronze pipes: heads, chests, limbs; swirl and "pouf" signifying skirts. Happy female voice-over: "I don't always let my bladder problems or the worry my pipes might leak compromise what I like to do. Like hunting for bargains, not always bathrooms." Bargains/bathrooms is alliteration, a common, cheap turn of rhetoric, which is to say aesthetics. The shopaholic ladies glide to various luxury destinations. In a shoe boutique, a bronze salesman aids them in trying on bronze shoes. Glittering in the background are giant couture bronze shoes Sarah Jessica Parker would die for. Next up: a (bronze) palm-lined rooftop swimming pool, surrounded by bronze buildings.
The director of this ad for Vesicare has imagined an entire city, every detail made of bronze, down to the last treacly touch. The first pipe metaphor, OK. But ad nauseum? The overreaching leaches almost all the jest from the gag, making the residue accessible to everyone and a challenge to no one. People don't want to be challenged. They (are trained to) want to watch, slightly smiling, in a stupor.
These subcomic ads trace an arc of ever-thickening, dark and sulfurous clouds over every one of us. The Omnaris platoon is a placeholder for an entire army ready to pacify anxieties over the Other by quarantine of the monster or outright execution. The suburbanite in the blindingly white Progressive Store: He's a stand-in for the species Milquetoast Suburban Householder. Vesicare City connotes a venue (your venue) peopled as it is by the Standardized, the Regimented.
The Omnaris doctor-soldiers speak to our increasing reliance on specialists and technology to rid ourselves of evil. Think of all the alien-virus-terror/counterterror-cop-FBI-Special Force shows and films out there. Unmanned drones quietly strike Al Qaeda operatives. We no longer fight crime with cops but with CSI units! We don't blow our noses anymore: We fight the nasal battle with Omnaris!
Progressive signifies by connotation that suburban men, settling down to make households, are powerless, ashamed, bewitched, bothered, and bewildered by our new world of sterile postmodern marketing, not to mention assaults on their gated little communities. Their mantra: "I didn't know that!" Ditto for the women.
And the Vesicare Bronzed? They are stripped of every aspect of the Person, their actions just maniacal pursuit without any object of desire. The citizens of Bronze City signify citizenry of all cities. All of us mindless, mechanical, just there. Things.
Using subcomedy to catch you unawares, "creative" ad directors hold this distorting mirror before you: Under fatal threat ("Incoming!"), the nation has to be militarized, yes? – you, just a civilian, knowing nothing about anything, everyone else just like you, a void.
The joke's on you.

How To Enable Two Factor Login for Google Apps for Business Accounts
Despite feeling quite safe online - following my self-imposed security review of a couple of years ago - there's always been that nagging doubt that a single point of failure existed in my relatively weak Google Accounts password.
I did nothing about this until Jeff Atwood mentioned it this week and I finally turned on two factor authentication.
You can do this through your Google Account page online, as below:
I did this first for my "personal" Gmail account and then I tried to do it for my "work" Google Apps for Business account. However, for the latter I didn't see the above option.
After some fruitless Googling and digging around in the Admin area I worked it how.
Enabling 2-Factor Auth In Google Apps Accounts
First, login as a domain administrator and then go to "Manage this domain" using the gears dropdown (top right), as below.
Now, navigate to the Advanced Tools tab and enable 2-factor authentication in the Authentication section, as below.
When you return to the Google Account page for your login you should then see the option to enable it. Phew.
Dare I say it, I now feel almost completely secure.
Worth It?
Setting it up is a bit of a hassle and I don't doubt it will hassle me at some point in the future too. But, like Jeff says, door locks are a hassle too, but would you live in a house without them?
Having your email account hacked can happen. It's happened to at least 6 people I know. Don't let it be you!

June 28, 2008
Eugene, OR - Former Gaucho Stephanie Rothstein performed exceptionally well at the USA Olympic Trials Meet on Friday night. The 24 year-old 2007 graduate competed in the 10 kilometer event, placing 12th of twenty-four with a time of 33:22 (an average pace of 5:22 per mile). The mark was her second fastest 10k of her life and her finish was significantly higher than her ranking going into the race.
"While my goal was top ten, I did everything I could, and this serves as a good indicator to evaluate where I am now, and where I need to be in 4 years."
While an above high school competitor with a mile best of just under 5 minutes, Rothstein made the transition to being one of the nation's elite athletes while training at UCSB. Upon graduation, Rothstein possessed multiple Division I All-American accolades, countless Big West Championships, and two Conference all time records.
"Stephanie was always one of my most relentless competitors." Said head Coach Pete Dolan. "She was always willing to do the work to get better."
The Arizona native now trains professionally in Eugene Oregon under the supervision of coach Brad Hudson. In the past 12 months she has competed all over the country as well as in Japan and Europe. While the 10k effort was very impressive, Rothstein has her sites set on eventually moving up to the marathon.
"I think the marathon is my most realistic option for qualifying for the London 2012 Olympics."
In January she entered her longest distance race ever at the USA Half Marathon Championships (13.1 miles) and clocked a blistering time of 1:13:16 (5:35 pace per mile), good for 11th place in a remarkably fast field.
Rothstein will be back in Santa Barbara for the program's high school summer camp scheduled for July 20th to 24th.

New research shows that a university gets a bigger bump in prospective students for each advance it makes in the NCAA College Basketball tournament.
When it comes to recruiting students, colleges and universities nationwide would do well to have a Billy Donovan on board. The University of Florida men's basketball coach led the Gators to back-to-back men's basketball championships in 2006 and 2007, and he's chasing another title this weekend. But, win or lose in Saturday's Final Four matchup against UConn, new research shows the gettin' will still be good for the university's admissions. A study published in February's Journal of Sports Economics suggests that just making the NCAA tournament boosts the number of undergraduate applications a school receives the following fall. Using data on where students sent their SAT scores as a proxy for where they applied, the researchers found that a college gets a bigger bump in SAT scores for each time it advances in the NCAA bracket. A college basketball championship, the researchers say, can lead to a school receiving about 10 percent more SAT scores from high school students - and not just from college-sports-attuned males. "By the Sweet 16, females seem to be paying attention," said study co-author Jaren Pope. "And, at the championship level, it seems to be equal" - both genders are equally impressionable. The implication: High school students may not know which school offers the best academic fit or even care how an expensive education impacts their future job prospects, but males and females pay attention to which schools won the last NCAA basketball and football championships and value the upbeat atmosphere a winning team brings. Last year, the championship spoils went to the University of Louisville Cardinals, whose men's basketball team won the tournament and women's basketball team made it to the finals, the football team finished the season with a Sugar Bowl victory and the baseball team appeared in the College World Series. The Louisville admissions office saw a significant spike in the ensuing application season. "We recruited our largest freshmen class in school history," said Liz Fitzgerald, assistant director of admissions at Louisville. "We definitely attribute part of that to the exposure we got in athletics." Influencing choice The researchers, a pair of economist siblings - Jaren Pope at Brigham Young University and his brother Devin Pope of the University of Chicago - studied the effects of basketball and football, the behemoths of college athletics. Schools that make the Final Four in the NCAA basketball tournament or finish in football's Associated Press top 10 experienced a 6 percent to 8 percent bump in SAT scores received. Reign as football champion, they found, and SAT scores submitted to the institution jump 11 percent. The effect even lingers a couple of years out, although at a decreasing rate. But what caliber of student is so easily swayed by college sports success? The Popes tackled that question in an earlier paper. The students bedazzled by championships, they found, come from both ends of the SAT-performance spectrum. "About a third are the types of student who could actually improve the average SAT score for the university," Jaren Pope said. "(They're) the high-quality students, if you will, from the university's perspective." The University of Florida can attest to that. A decade ago - before the college sports juggernaut had won basketball and football championships in the same year - Florida saw fewer than 20,000 applications a year. Now UF receives a standard 30,000, "and our academic profile has just been going steadily up," spokesman Steve Orlando said. More than 84 percent of incoming freshmen have an average 4.0 GPA, and the freshman class' average SAT score was 1,960. College athletics may not be the sole source of that trend, he said, but a stellar sports year clearly helps lift the academic tide of an incoming class. How sports can influence a top-tier student's decision on where to go to college was one of the most surprising findings of the study for Devin Pope. Classical economics, he said, would assume that students select a college based on wealth-maximizing rationale: What school will yield the best degree to wield in the workforce. "I think most people would agree that choosing where to go to college should be based in large part on academic fit," Devin Pope said. "But, if you believe that, our findings are a bit troubling. ... Students are being swayed dramatically year to year by things economists would say shouldn't matter." He likens his results to a recent study by Stanford economist Caroline Hoxby, who found that top-tier students from low-income families aren't applying to schools commensurate with their skills, despite the availability of full-tuition financial packages. "People aren't applying to the places we think they should be," Devin Pope said, suspecting a gap in the information high school students are getting about colleges and that a school's athletic prowess may be filling the void. "If students aren't receiving really good information, college athletics is one of the ways they learn about universities that they could potentially attend," Jaren Pope said. Take the current tournament, he said: Name the mascot of North Dakota State. "Bison," he boasts. "And I'll bet you'd never heard of them before." Cinderella schools The road ended in the round of 32 for the Bison (perhaps the study's projected 2.4 percent bump in applicants next year will be a consolation prize). But another lesser-known school, the University of Dayton, basked in the spotlight all the way to the Elite Eight. "I don't have $10 million to buy a 30-second ad to run on national television," said Sundar Kumarasamy, Dayton's vice president of enrollment management and marketing. But Dayton got those 30 seconds free in an NBC Nightly News segment that aired to an estimated audience of 8.1 million. "It's the most organic effect we can create," said Kumarasamy, and one, he hopes, that won't just put Dayton on the short list of schools a future applicant will consider, but "might result in somebody (from Dayton) getting an interview, somebody getting an internship, somebody making a donation, or even just goodwill toward the city of Dayton." The response Dayton's admissions office receives remains to be seen, but the researchers said the effect of a banner year in sports may be most noticeable at such Cinderella breakout schools. "The little school that could," Davidson University admissions director David Kraus said, referring to his university's 2008 trip to the Elite Eight. Post–Stephen Curry, the team's star guard, applications rose at Davidson in the middle of an economic downturn, no less, when Davidson's peer schools were seeing a decline in applicants. Another little-school-that-could, Florida Gulf Coast University, is seeing nearly 40 percent more freshmen applications this year on the heels of last year's trip to the Sweet 16. "It's not like FSU or UF, where it's expected that those teams will make big runs," said FGCU admissions director Marc LaViolette, who has discussed the application boon with his counterpart at sister school - and 2014 football champion - Florida State University. "The impact on admissions is still there for them but not nearly as dramatic as it is on us." Applications from out-of-state students increased most noticeably - 47 percent - at FGCU. "That was probably the most telling feature," he said. According to the Popes' study, sports success has a greater influence on out-of-state students than in-state counterparts. Being a school that's only 17 years old, "it's always of interest to find out how people find us," LaViolette said. Demographic differences The Popes found that the effects of a successful sports program are especially salient for certain demographics: namely males, particularly black males, and, moreover, black males who played high school sports. Asians were the demographic least influenced by college sports, according to the study. If college choice is not just a future-wealth-maximizing decision for high schoolers, perhaps it's a future-fun-maximizing decision the Popes' research found. "Undergraduates are not only looking for a school that provides a good education, but a school that's also going to be a lot of fun while they're there," Jaren Pope said. And a reputable sports program is a tool in a university's arsenal to draw them in. "It's certainly one lever that a university has under its control," he said. Orlando at the University of Florida acknowledges pulling that lever. "We try to take advantage of athletic success to tell the other story," he said. The untold story, Orlando explained, is a school where annual tuition is more than $2,000 less than the national average and a school with a $15 million commission to lure the best faculty. But to get future students to find that story, he concedes, may be up to Billy Donovan this weekend.%3Cimg%20src%3D%22http%3A//beacon.deseretconnect.com/beacon.gif%3Fcid%3D159995%26pid%3D46%22%20/%3E

2013, motherfuckers. Yeah! LET'S DO THIS.
"Do what?" you ask. I DON'T KNOW. LET'S FIGURE THAT OUT TOGETHER, MOTHERFUCKERS.
Feel free to stop reading this if your career is going great, you're thrilled with your life and you're happy with your relationships. Enjoy the rest of your day, friend, this article is not for you. You're doing a great job, we're all proud of you. So you don't feel like you wasted your click, here's a picture of Lenny Kravitz wearing a gigantic scarf.
Via Upscalehype.com
For the rest of you, I want you to try something: Name five impressive things about yourself. Write them down or just shout them out loud to the room. But here's the catch -- you're not allowed to list anything you are (i.e., I'm a nice guy, I'm honest), but instead can only list things that you do (i.e., I just won a national chess tournament, I make the best chili in Massachusetts). If you found that difficult, well, this is for you, and you are going to fucking hate hearing it. My only defense is that this is what I wish somebody had said to me around 1995 or so.
#6. The World Only Cares About What It Can Get from You
Let's say that the person you love the most has just been shot. He or she is lying in the street, bleeding and screaming. A guy rushes up and says, "Step aside." He looks over your loved one's bullet wound and pulls out a pocket knife -- he's going to operate right there in the street.
"OK, which one is the injured one?"
"OK, which one is the injured one?"
You ask, "Are you a doctor?"
The guy says, "No."
You say, "But you know what you're doing, right? You're an old Army medic, or ..."
At this point the guy becomes annoyed. He tells you that he is a nice guy, he is honest, he is always on time. He tells you that he is a great son to his mother and has a rich life full of fulfilling hobbies, and he boasts that he never uses foul language.
Confused, you say, "How does any of that fucking matter when my (wife/husband/best friend/parent) is lying here bleeding! I need somebody who knows how to operate on bullet wounds! Can you do that or not?!?"
Now the man becomes agitated -- why are you being shallow and selfish? Do you not care about any of his other good qualities? Didn't you just hear him say that he always remembers his girlfriend's birthday? In light of all of the good things he does, does it really matter if he knows how to perform surgery?
In that panicked moment, you will take your bloody hands and shake him by the shoulders, screaming, "Yes, I'm saying that none of that other shit matters, because in this specific situation, I just need somebody who can stop the bleeding, you crazy fucking asshole."
"I don't get it. Would it help if I put on a lab jacket? Here, one sec, let me just ..."
"I don't get it. Would it help if I put on a lab jacket? Here, one sec, let me just ..."
So here is my terrible truth about the adult world: You are in that very situation every single day. Only you are the confused guy with the pocket knife. All of society is the bleeding gunshot victim.
If you want to know why society seems to shun you, or why you seem to get no respect, it's because society is full of people who need things. They need houses built, they need food to eat, they need entertainment, they need fulfilling sexual relationships. You arrived at the scene of that emergency, holding your pocket knife, by virtue of your birth -- the moment you came into the world, you became part of a system designed purely to see to people's needs.
"Here's that shit you needed. Now fuck off."
"Here's that shit you needed. Now fuck off."
Either you will go about the task of seeing to those needs by learning a unique set of skills, or the world will reject you, no matter how kind, giving and polite you are. You will be poor, you will be alone, you will be left out in the cold.
Does that seem mean, or crass, or materialistic? What about love and kindness -- don't those things matter? Of course. As long as they result in you doing things for people that they can't get elsewhere. For you see ...
#5. The Hippies Were Wrong
Here is the greatest scene in the history of movies (WARNING: EXTREME NSFW LANGUAGE):
For those of you who can't watch videos, it's the famous speech Alec Baldwin gives in the cinematic masterpiece Glengarry Glenn Ross. Baldwin's character -- whom you assume is the villain -- addresses a room full of dudes and tears them a new asshole, telling them that they're all about to be fired unless they "close" the sales they've been assigned:
"Nice guy? I don't give a shit. Good father? Fuck you! Go home and play with your kids. If you want to work here, close."
It's brutal, rude and borderline sociopathic, and also it is an honest and accurate expression of what the world is going to expect from you. The difference is that, in the real world, people consider it so wrong to talk to you that way that they've decided it's better to simply let you keep failing.
"First graders, welcome to Mr. Baldwin's third period art class -- is everyone here? Well, I'm goin' anyway."
"First graders, welcome to Mr. Baldwin's third period art class -- is everyone here? Well, I'm goin' anyway."
That scene changed my life. I'd program my alarm clock to play it for me every morning if I knew how. Alec Baldwin was nominated for an Oscar for that movie and that's the only scene he's in. As smarter people have pointed out, the genius of that speech is that half of the people who watch it think that the point of the scene is "Wow, what must it be like to have such an asshole boss?" and the other half think, "Fuck yes, let's go out and sell some goddamned real estate!"
"If you were in that room, some of you would understand this as a work, but feed off the energy of the message anyway, welcome the coach's cursing at you, 'this guy is awesome!'; while some of you would take it personally, this guy is a jerk, you have no right to talk to me like that, or -- the standard maneuver when narcissism is confronted with a greater power -- quietly seethe and fantasize about finding information that will out him as a hypocrite. So satisfying."
"I swear, if he mentions my hair, I'll slap his face so har- Yes, sir, I'm listening. I'm sorry."
"I swear, if he mentions my hair, I'll slap his face so har- Yes, sir, I'm listening. I'm sorry."
That excerpt is from an insightful critique of "hipsters" and why they seem to have so much trouble getting jobs (that doesn't begin to do it justice, go read the whole thing), and the point is that the difference in those two attitudes -- bitter vs. motivated -- largely determines whether or not you'll succeed in the world. For instance, some people want to respond to that speech with Tyler Durden's line from Fight Club: "You are not your job."
But, well, actually, you totally are. Granted, your "job" and your means of employment might not be the same thing, but in both cases you are nothing more than the sum total of your useful skills. For instance, being a good mother is a job that requires a skill. It's something a person can do that is useful to other members of society. But make no mistake: Your "job" -- the useful thing you do for other people -- is all you are.
There is a reason why surgeons get more respect than comedy writers. There is a reason mechanics get more respect than unemployed hipsters. There is a reason your job will become your label if your death makes the news ("NFL Linebacker Dies in Murder/Suicide"). Tyler said, "You are not your job," but he also founded and ran a successful soap company and became the head of an international social and political movement. He was totally his job.
It was the irony that many people missed from that movie.
It was the irony that many people missed from that movie.
Or think of it this way: Remember when Chick-fil-A came out against gay marriage? And how despite the protests, the company continues to sell millions of sandwiches every day? It's not because the country agrees with them; it's because they do their job of making delicious sandwiches well. And that's all that matters.
You don't have to like it. I don't like it when it rains on my birthday. It rains anyway. Clouds form and precipitation happens. People have needs and thus assign value to the people who meet them. These are simple mechanisms of the universe and they do not respond to our wishes.
"This is bullshit. I have a completely clean criminal record, and this is the thanks I get?"
"This is bullshit. I have a completely clean criminal record, and this is the thanks I get?"
If you protest that you're not a shallow capitalist materialist and that you disagree that money is everything, I can only say: Who said anything about money? You're missing the larger point.
#4. What You Produce Does Not Have to Make Money, But It Does Have to Benefit People
Let's try a non-money example so you don't get hung up on that. The demographic that Cracked writes for is heavy on 20-something males. So on our message boards and in my many inboxes I read several dozen stories a year from miserable, lonely guys who insist that women won't come near them despite the fact that they are just the nicest guys in the world. I can explain what is wrong with this mindset, but it would probably be better if I let Alec Baldwin explain it:
In this case, Baldwin is playing the part of the attractive women in your life. They won't put it as bluntly as he does -- society has trained us not to be this honest with people -- but the equation is the same. "Nice guy? Who gives a shit? If you want to work here, close."
So, what do you bring to the table? Because the Zooey Deschanel lookalike in the bookstore that you've been daydreaming about moisturizes her face for an hour every night and feels guilty when she eats anything other than salad for lunch. She's going to be a surgeon in 10 years. What do you do?
"Well, I'm fucking wicked at capture the flag."
"Well, I'm fucking wicked at capture the flag."
"What, so you're saying that I can't get girls like that unless I have a nice job and make lots of money?"
No, your brain jumps to that conclusion so you have an excuse to write off everyone who rejects you by thinking that they're just being shallow and selfish. I'm asking what do you offer? Are you smart? Funny? Interesting? Talented? Ambitious? Creative? OK, now what do you do to demonstrate those attributes to the world? Don't say that you're a nice guy -- that's the bare minimum. Pretty girls have guys being nice to them 36 times a day. The patient is bleeding in the street. Do you know how to operate or not?
"Well, I'm not sexist or racist or greedy or shallow or abusive! Not like those other douchebags!"
I'm sorry, I know that this is hard to hear, but if all you can do is list a bunch of faults you don't have, then back the fuck away from the patient. There's a witty, handsome guy with a promising career ready to step in and operate.
"Wait, I said I wouldn't hit you!"
"Wait, I said I wouldn't hit you!"

Strawberries ricotta cakes
They're especially nice when still warm, and have 'the summer is almost here' written all over them. Baked in muffin tins, these are ideal for a spring buffet. If you want to serve them as a plated dessert, then you could drizzle some strawberry coulis on the plate and garnish with mint leaves.
Strawberry ricotta cakes
Yields 12
Adapted from Sanitarium Health Food Company, Australia
400 grams ricotta or milk curd cheese
3 Tbsp caster sugar
3 medium eggs, lightly beaten
1 tsp lemon zest
3 Tbsp ground almonds
~ 200 grams strawberries, coarsely chopped
To sprinkle:
superfine caster sugar
To serve:
strawberries and whipped cream
Mix milk curd, sugar, eggs, ground almonds, lemon zest and strawberries in a bowl.
Line 12 muffin tins with paper cups, divide the curd cheese mixture between the tins.
Sprinkle with fine sugar and cinnamon.
Bake at 180°C for about 40 minutes, until the cakes have risen and are lovely golden colour.
Serve warm or slightly cooled*, decorating the cakes with strawberries and whipped cream.
* It is not advisable to put these cakes in the fridge, as the curd cheese becomes somewhat grainy.

LOL! I'm sure that was a slip of the tongue. Pille/Paz almost the same. I'm glad to be confused with you. hehehe! ;-)
What a lovely recipe idea -- making cake with no flour and substituting with milk curd or ricotta! Cool! Thanks PILLE!

Hi Pillie
Interested to hear whether you used English strawberries. I bought some at the market this weekend and have to say found them a little bitter. Maybe its just not the season for them yet?
- 5:01 pm, May 02, 2006
- Pille said...
Orchidea - I think in Sweden you can also use Kesella for this recipe, or ricotta, if you want to stay true to your Italian heritage:)
Pene - happy to bring you back nice memories..
Valentina - hey, it's Pille blogging here, not Paz:) I have few coeliac friends as well, so I'm always on the lookout for recipes that would suite them.
Paz - it was a very cute slip of tongue, I didn't mind at all:)
Thredahlia - huvitav jah:) Nagu ütlesin, mul palju tsöliaakiahaigeid sõpru, nii et otsin alati nendele sobivaid retsepte. Ja kaugel see maasikate aegki enam on..
Clivia - back home we don't have strawberries until Mid-Summer or late June. But they are soooo nice then (especially from my mum's garden:)
Gastrochick - nope, they were imported, bought from a small & well-stocked greengrocer. But they did actually taste surprisingly strawberry-like, if I may say so. Not many imported strawberries do..

I made these yesterday to take to a get together of English speaking women. I used frozen strawberries which were cheaper & had more flavour than the fresh Spanish ones available. They were delicious. Thanks for the recipe.

How is $140K a "BIG" investment? It's one years salary.
You are right, $140K is not a "big" investment... it's a HUGE risk if you are looking at a T3/4 or non-ABA school. It is not one years salary either, especially if it was borrowed. At best, starting salary is realistically $80K, at best. After taxes that is now about $45K take home. Factor in rent and other living expenses and there is not a whole lot left for loan payments. In the mean time, that $140K is accruing about 8% interest - so it's a festering growing boil that does not quickly go away. After loan payments, there is not a whole lot left for improving one's quality of life (nice car, vacation, travel, etc.).It's not like one gets a job making $140K, throws all of that money at the loan, and it is gone in one year.Quote from: lawstudent#1 on August 09, 2011, 09:22:40 AMHow is $140K a "BIG" investment? It's one years salary.
I'm not saying you're wrong at all, I agree with you. Anything over 100K is a massive, life long investment.Some of your bills are unnecessary and some are inflated. Why would anyone pay $400 a month for a car unless you have money to burn, which you can't with debt. Are you leasing a new car? If so, you are paying way too much, both in total and monthly, unnecessarily. $400 a month in phone and utilities? How is that even possible? There is no need to pay anymore than $50 a month per phone. Are you heating a castle or something (oh and if your are using AC, why?- its the most unnecessary wasteful thing ever- just a minority opinion I know) ? $400 in food? You must have a large family or eat out every night.Like I said, I agree with you. Your point is well made, but if these are your real number, then you could easily cut your expenses in half and put more toward your loans. Fyi. Good luck.
Duncan, you're obviously a very intelligent person. Our stories are remarkably similar. I'm not even that far away from you as far as age goes. You've obviously made an informed decision and are comfortable with the various risks involved.Personally, although there may be a very small set of people for whom a non-ABA school may be appropriate, that set is probably very, very small. To me, the frightening thing is that it severely narrows your options. Going to an ABA school may be problematic, and I think everybody should be aware of the potential pitfalls. (My opinion? Half of current law grads are probably going to be very disappointed at their professional lives after graduation.)The thing that would frighten me about a non-ABA school is that as daunting as the prospects are for ABA-school grads, they're probably an order of magnitude worse for non-ABA grads. I have ideas of what I would like to do upon graduation, but who knows. I have other options. I can try to go JAG corps. I can try to apply for work in the federal government. Just off the top of my head, those are two options that no non-ABA graduate can even contemplate.I can transfer to a better ABA school if I can get good enough 1L grades. Again, no non-ABA graduate can even think about this.Your decision may be appropriate for you, personally. I just fear that only a very, very, very, very small proportion of your 1L classmates realistically know what they're getting into. Granted, probably fully half or more of the 1Ls at my school don't know what they're getting into, either, but at least upon graduation, they're eligible to pursue a job in the DOJ or whatnot.Best of luck to you. As I said, we're not that different. You're obviously a very intelligent person. I hope things work out exactly as you have planned for them to.
Lastly, how to say this? Your response reeks of character assassination and credibility undermining rhetoric. Not kool, man and totally unnecessary. Why would I fight with you over what you pay? If you want to pay more than you need for things that aren't necessary, then by all means be my guest. It's the American way, isn't it? You are entitled to an opinion, but then so am I. Also, I was kind of hinting that your estimates were inflated, presumably, to strengthen your point. Hence the questioning, but oh well. Don't you love the circle. Cheers.
