Good news everybody! The director of Primer, Shane Carruth, is making another movie, and it sounds strangely scifi. Let the freakout dancing commence! The movie is titled Upstream Color and will be premiering at the next Sundance festival in 2013. Check out the collection of odd images (starring the director himself) and an even more bewildering plot synopsis.
A man and woman are drawn together, entangled in the lifecycle of an ageless organism. Identity becomes an illusion as they struggle to assemble the loose fragments of wrecked lives.

DARTMOUTH – State Energy and Environmental Affairs Secretary Richard Sullivan encouraged SouthCoast towns to take advantage of state sustainability programs during a seminar Thursday at University of Massachusetts Dartmouth.
About 50 officials from towns across the region attended the seminar, which aimed to provide support and advice to communities considering applying for the state Green Communities designation.
"Applying for Green Communities is one of the best decisions a town can make for sustainability at the local level," Sullivan said. "It encourages people to have a debate in town, take a vote and be vested in the result of the vote."
While there are 103 Massachusetts cities and towns that have received the Green Communities designation, Lakeville is the only SouthCoast municipality to do so.
The state-run program makes grants available to towns that meet certain requirements toward being sustainable.
The requirements include creating bylaws and an expedited permitting process for siting alternative energy such as wind turbines or solar farms; purchasing only fuel-efficient vehicles; setting requirements to minimize energy costs for new construction projects, and developing a plan to reduce the town's energy use by 20 percent within five years.
Sullivan acknowledged that many SouthCoast towns that are rich in natural resources like solar and wind have balked at the requirement to expedite alternative energy permitting.
"The thing is there is no decision here that is not controversial. When you're talking about energy, it can be the littlest thing or the biggest thing that is controversial," Sullivan said. "No one wants anything near their home but they want the lights to go on when they flip the switch and they want it to be clean energy coming out of it. Something's got to give."
Jim Porter, a member of the Lakeville Energy Advisory Committee, also spoke to attendees about the benefits of becoming a green community and encouraged them to at least study the energy efficiency of town-owned buildings, a required step in the Green Communities process.
"Everyone should do that immediately," he said. "It lets you know where you're losing money in town from things that can be fixed. Once you know you have money-saving opportunities, people will be much more likely to accept the other parts of Green Communities."
Porter acknowledged that many towns in the region have also rejected the new building requirements because they are worried about backlash from developers. But, he said, "You just have to get over that. This is what your community needs."

Wayfair, Speeding Towards IPO, Lands $2 Billion Valuation
Wayfair, an online purveyor of home goods, says it raised $157 million from a group that includes T. Rowe Price and other mutual funds, en route to a planned initial public offering in the coming months.
The funding gives the 12-year-old company a valuation of more than $2 billion, according to a person familiar with the terms. That puts it on a par with firms like Box and Snapchat, according to data compiled by The Wall Street Journal and Dow Jones Venture Wire.

Virginia State Senator Creigh Deeds (D-Bath) spoke with his hometown newspaper this week, sharing for the first time the details of a brutal attack that left him injured and fighting to reform Virginia's mental health system.
Deeds, who was stabbed by son Austin "Gus" Deeds in November, told "The Recorder" that his son began acting strangely about three and a half years ago. The state senator said he took steps to have his son involuntarily committed twice in 2011, but because of privacy laws, he never knew if his 24-year-old son's condition was ever diagnosed.
He continued to work to get Gus the help he needed, but just before the Nov. 19 attack, Deeds learned that Gus had been missing appointments with local mental health professionals and was writing about disturbing things.
For a third time, Deeds had an emergency custody order issued for Gus. But when the order for Deeds' son expired before a treatment bed could be found, the two went home.
"Some time that night, Gus determined I was evil and needed to die...," Deeds told The Recorder.
Gus stabbed his father multiple times in the head and upper torso before turning a gun on himself. Gus was pronounced dead at the scene.
Deeds, 55, was able to walk out of the home and down a hill on his Bath County property, where he was spotted and picked up by a cousin. Deeds was later airlifted to University of Virginia Medical Center, where he learned of his son's death while recovering from his injuries.
Deeds said he lost part of his tongue in the attack, which makes speaking difficult. He also lost some feeling on his right side.
Deeds was welcomed by applause as he returned to the state Capitol Wednesday. As the session began, there was no special acknowledgement of the tragedy but a deep, reddish scar was clearly visible across Deeds' forehead and face.
Since the incident, reform of the mental health system in the commonwealth has become a top priority for the 2014 session.
Deeds himself has proposed three bills, including one that would increase the maximum time of an emergency custody order from the current six hours to 24 hours.
Lawmakers promise a bipartisan approach tackling the issue of mental health reform.
A mental health task force charged with making changes to help those in crisis also began its work this week.
Gov. Bob McDonnell created the panel in response to the death of Deeds' son.
"Everyone who's worked here the last two decades knows Creigh Deeds, knows he's a good man and is suffering right alongside of him, knowing what he's endured with Austin, so we are going to do everything we can to make changes this session," McDonnell has said.
Deeds also wants a registry of available psychiatric beds to be created so those needing care are not turned away during a mental health crisis. At the task force meeting Tuesday, state officials reported that plans for a registry maintained at public hospitals has already been developed and will be tested soon.

Cook the Book: Classic Wedge Salad
"It might not be the healthiest salad in the world but the Wedge is a really enjoyable one, and hopefully the vehicle that will bring iceberg back into fashion."
Iceberg is not the most fashionable of lettuces, and its decline has everything to do with the Mesclun mixes that seem to be everywhere these days. But the delicate mixes of baby greens don't have that wonderful sweetness and crunch that iceberg does, and I don't think that they are nearly as much fun to eat as this Classic Wedge Salad from The Good Stuff Cookbook by Spike Mendelsohn.
At Good Stuff Eatery in Washington, D.C. Spike has a variety of wedge options but I think the Classic Wedge is the best place to start the iceberg comeback. Basically a quartered head of iceberg lettuce, the Classic Wedge is topped with a fantastic Blue Cheese Dressing, chopped red onions, crumbled bacon, and even more blue cheese.
We all know that adding bacon is an easy way to amp up the deliciousness factor, but in this case it's the homemade blue cheese dressing that really makes the salad.
Playing off the buttermilk in the dressing I chose a Wisconsin Buttermilk Blue Cheese and this distinctive cheese really came through. The thick dressing coats the leaves of iceberg, the bacon adds a salty crunch, and the onions a lend bit of bite.
It might not be the healthiest salad in the world but the Wedge is a really enjoyable one, and hopefully the vehicle that will bring iceberg back into fashion.
Win The Good Stuff Cookbook
As always with our Cook the Book feature, we have five (5) copies of The Good Stuff Cookbook to give away this week.
What's New On Serious Eats
- Yield:4
- For the blue cheese dressing:
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 cup sour cream
- 4 ounces blue cheese, crumbled
- 6 tablespoons white wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon honey

- For the salad:
- 1 pound applewood-smoked bacon
- 1 head iceberg lettuce
- 1⁄2 pound mixed greens
- 8 ounces blue cheese, crumbled
- 2 cups thinly sliced red onion
- 1 cup thinly sliced scallions
To make the dressing, add all the ingredients to a blender or food processor and blend to combine. Set aside until ready to use.
To make the salad, heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the bacon until crisp. Line a metal tray with paper towels. Drain the bacon. Cool, crumble, and set aside.
Remove the root end from the lettuce, and cut the head into 4 wedges. Place one wedge each on four individual serving dishes. Scatter the mixed greens around each wedge. Dress each wedge with 2 tablespoons of the dressing. Garnish each with the crumbled bacon, cheese, onion, and scallions.

Equipment & Technology
The Carrboro Police Department deploys a number of vehicles to patrol the Town of Carrboro. Officers will most frequently be seen in marked Chevrolet Impalas with the new white, black and red color scheme. We have special purpose vehicles as well, such as the School Resource Officer's Club Car which you may have seen out and about at events like the Carrboro Music Festival and Open Streets. Officers are also allowed to patrol the downtown areas on one of our Police Mountain Bikes.
Every patrol vehicle in the Police Department is equipped with a Mobile Data Terminal, also known as a Mobile Computer Terminal or MDT for short. This in-car computer system allows for officers to write reports, review reports, look up information pertinent to a case, check and respond to e-mails and other essential law enforcement functions while still in their vehicles. These computers are powerful tools that greatly assist officers in their day to day activities.
Radio Direction and Ranging devices, more commonly known as RADAR devices, were first developed during World War II as a powerful tool to detect the location of airplanes and surface ships. Toward the later part of the 20th Century, RADAR devices were adapted as a law enforcement tool to serve as speed measuring instruments. The RADAR units deployed by law enforcement agencies are invaluable tools for traffic enforcement. Many of our police vehicles are equipped with RADAR units and we even have a RADAR sign that can be placed in your neighborhood to remind drivers to slow down!
Beginning in mid-2013, the Carrboro Police Department began testing and evaluation of numerous in-car camera systems, known as Mobile Vehicle Recording (MVR) systems. In late 2014, the police department deployed three vehicles with MVR systems with the goal of having twelve more MVR systems online by the Spring of 2015. These MVR systems will aide officers testifying in court, help ensure transparency of police department operations, as well as allow thorough investigations of comments and complaints against officers, the department and the Town. Officers operating MVR-equipped vehicles will also be wearing wireless microphones which will record audio outside of the vehicle.
View our policy pertaining to MVR use and equipment.
North Carolina recently passed N.C. G.S. 132-1.4A, which governs when and how audio and video recording by our MVR equipment can be viewed by the public. Click the above link to read the statute in it's entirety. View a simplified version of who can and cannot see digital media recorded by our BWCs.
Beginning 06/01/2017, the Carrboro Police Department will deploy its first body cameras. Seven officers have been selected for the initial deployment. It is our goal to have all patrol officers issued a body-worn camera by the end of the 2017-2018 fiscal year.

**THIS GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED** Congratulations to Denisha, comment #604, for winning!! Your entry was chosen via Random.org**
We have another fabulous giveaway for you this week! Win a $250 Halloween Party Pack from Meri Meri!! Have you heard about, Meri Meri?! If you haven't, you're missing out….THE cutest party supplies & more! I'm a little obsessed with ALL of their products!
"It began in Los Angeles, 1985 . . . Meredithe (who's childhood nickname was Meri Meri) sitting at her kitchen table . . . some scissors and pens, a BIG pot of glitter. Our first cards were made that way.
The magic spread. . . Local Stationery stores in Los Angeles loved those cards and asked for more. One kitchen table and one pair of scissors wasn't enough. We needed lots of kitchen tables and an ENORMOUS pot of glitter.
Then, in 1987, we presented our little range of handmade cards at the National Stationery Show in New York. The response was phenomenal. Pretty soon there were major stores like Bergdorf Goodman taking on our range for their Christmas season. More kitchen tables and GREAT BIG SACKS of glitter!
The company grew from that little network of Moms working from home from Meredithe's designs and direction.
Today . . . We don't design on kitchen tables anymore. We now work in studios in a 400 year old building, overlooking an ancient churchyard in a little town called Cheltenham, 1 hour west of London, England. But we still have our scissors and our pens and all the glitter . .
These days Meredithe heads a studio of twenty designers and art workers and Meri Meri products are sold all over the world. Life is a little busier than it used to be. We're working on lots of new projects, from our traditional cards and invitations, Bakeware, Gifts, Partyware and so much more!"
Keep scrolling to see how to enter to win ALL of the darling halloween products shown in these pictures below!!…
Each person can leave up to four separate comments. One comment per task completed. The more comments you leave, the higher your chances at winning! All entries will be verified.

Al Jazeera makes major U.S. expansion
- U.S. operation will be editorially separate from Arab-language network
- Al Jazeera was viewed with suspicion by the U.S. government after 2001 terror attacks
- Network is owned by the government of Qatar
Seven years after it arrived in the U.S., Al Jazeera is putting up its sign.
As it launches a major expansion to become a full-fledged cable news channel in the U.S., the Qatar-owned network believes animosity toward its sister Arabic-language news operation has waned. Or at least it has dissipated enough to allow Al Jazeera to splash its name across its new Washington broadcast center, which is currently housed in a dingy, unmarked office building.
"Imagine six or seven years ago, trying to find real estate for Al Jazeera in Washington. I'm sure it wasn't easy,'' says Bob Wheelock, a former ABC executive now in charge of setting up Al Jazeera America, as the network will be called. But now "we're going to have signage, you know, just like CBS, ABC, CNN, CBN, just like everybody else,'' he says. "We're psyched.''
With the $500 million purchase of Current TV from former vice president Al Gore and other investors last year, Al Jazeera bought a place on cable boxes in 41 million homes. Now the network plans to grow from a news operation of 13 people to 200 people working in cities across the country.
To do so, the network recently posted job listings for more than 100 reporters, producers, videographers and the like. It received 13,000 applications.
Because it is owned by the Qatari government, the network has deep pockets: It also has a name with painful baggage for U.S. viewers, thanks to its corporate sibling, the Arabic-language Al Jazeera network. And its forte, international news, has historically been a tough sell to American viewers.
"We hope to bring international news and more in-depth storytelling for the viewers. Do we think there's an appetite for that? Yes, we do,'' Wheelock says. "There's an appetite for news from elsewhere and for the documentaries we do and the type of coverage we do.''
Wheelock says the channel will have fewer chat shows than do U.S. cable news channels and will continue to have a strong international focus: 60% of its coverage will come from its U.S. and Latin American bureaus and the rest from Al Jazeera's networks overseas. "It's what we've become known for, and we have the assets to do it.''
Al Jazeera English launched in 2006, and until now, viewers could find the network on just a few cable systems or online. Many American Al Jazeera viewers, Wheelock says, have served in the military. "They've all been there. They've been to the places we cover heavily, and they want to know what's going on.''
Shortly after the 9/11 terrorist attacks, when the Al Jazeera Arabic-language network aired videos from Osama bin Laden, U.S. officials accused it of promoting terrorism.
Time has mellowed the hostility somewhat, and Al Jazeera English's coverage of Arab Spring political upheavals brought it an appreciative audience in Washington — including then-secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton.
Confusion with Al Jazeera Arabic remains — as do suggestions that the network goes easy on Saudi Arabia and hard on Israel.
"They're straight shooters as much as any major news outlet today. There is no unbiased news today,'' says Isobel Coleman of the Council on Foreign Relations. "The bias is in the selection of what stories you cover and how you cover them. Al Jazeera will bring its own bias, but it's no more or no less than what we're used to already in this country.''
Coleman says she watches Al Jazeera simply because it offers so much international news. "It has a lot more foreign correspondents in the field. If you want to know what's going on in Mali, it's going to be Al Jazeera that's covering it. We just don't have any more foreign correspondents on the ground in (U.S.) television the way Al Jazeera does.''
"The stigma that a previous administration painted the channel with is dissipating greatly. If you ... watch us, you'll like us,'' Wheelock says.
Al Jazeera English and the Arabic-language network are "two very distinct editorial channels. One caters to an audience in the Middle East, and one caters to an audience that is global,'' he says. "Most of the detractors, the people who have negative ideas or thoughts, have never seen the programming.''
The network is building a broadcast center in Washington, enlarging its space at the United Nations in New York City — "We cover the U.N. like most people cover local weather,'' Wheelock says — and planning for bureaus in Detroit, New Orleans, San Francisco and five other cities.
Launching any new cable network is difficult: It requires getting cable systems such as Time Warner or Comcast to carry the network, then attracting both audiences and advertisers. "You can fail at any one of those, and you have to succeed at all three,'' says Larry Gerbrandt of the consulting firm Media Valuation Partners. When a channel changes hands, as in the case of Current to Al Jazeera, pre-existing agreements give the cable operator an out to drop the channel. That's the case with Al Jazeera America — Time Warner, a large cable system, says it may drop the network.
It will have to compete not only with CNN, Fox News Channel and MSNBC but also with BBC World News, which expanded in December into 25 million U.S. households. What's working in Al Jazeera's favor, says Mark Jurkowitz of the Project for Excellence in Journalism, is that the Middle East continues to be a big story. "You can see that being part of their marketing strategy,'' he says.
"We will never be the most-watched news channel in America, but we think there's an audience that's interested, is not afraid of information, is seeking more,'' Wheelock says

First two ingredients are named meat products
Insufficient meat content
The first two ingredients in this food are named meat products but are inclusive of water content (around 80%). Once this is removed as it must be to create a dehydrated product, the ingredients will weigh about 20% of their wet weight. As ingredients are listed in weight order, it is thus unlikely that these are truely the first and third ingredients in the food, but would be more accurately placed further down the ingredient list. The seventh ingredient, chicken meal, is most likely the true first meat ingredient in the food.
The third, fourth and sixth ingredients are grains. Barley and oats are decent quality grains and good carbohydrate sources. Potatoes are further carbohydrates and starch. Pea fiber is primarily filler. This food appears rather heavy in grains and light in meat content.
The food does contain a range of fruits/vegetables and probiotics. We appreciate the inclusion of whole eggs. This food has been rated 4* on the strength of good quality ingredients, but it suffers a great deal from lack of meat content and we would suggest that this be supplemented by meat if fed.

LOS ANGELES -- The fiancee of an unarmed Black man fatally shot by a Bay Area transit police officer last year testified Monday that her boyfriend told her he was being beaten by officers moments before he was killed.
Sophina Mesa, 26, told jurors in Los Angeles that she was unable to get hold of Oscar Grant on her cell phone after she went downstairs and exited the train station in Oakland on New Year's Day 2009. She managed to reach him during a second attempt in which she described Grant, 22, as "scared."
"He picked up my call and he said, real fast, 'They are beating us up for no reason,'" Mesa recalled Grant saying to her. Unable to respond to him because of the quick phone call, she tried again to reach Grant for a third time but was unsuccessful.
Mesa said she then heard a loud gunshot and minutes later saw Grant, who is the father of her 6-year-old daughter, Tatiana, being taken away in an ambulance. Grant was taken to a nearby hospital where he died.
Grant was shot by then-officer Johannes Mehserle, who has pleaded not guilty to murder. Mehserle, who is white, was among several BART officers who were called when Grant became involved in an altercation aboard the train that arrived at the Fruitvale station.
Defense attorney Michael Rains has maintained Mehserle meant to pull out his Taser stun gun instead of his .40-caliber handgun when he shot Grant. Prosecutors believe Mehserle did intend to shoot Grant and that he used his weapon because officers were losing control of the situation.
Mesa also said Grant told her that he had been hit with a stun gun before on several occasions, recalling one instance where he was hurt after he hit his head.
"He wouldn't want it to happen to him again," said Mesa, who settled for $1.5 million with BART as part of a $50 million wrongful death lawsuit against the agency and several employees.
Mesa was likely referring to an incident in October 2006 when police say Grant ran away from them during a traffic stop. He was shot with a stun gun and resisted arrest as officers tried to handcuff him, authorities said. He was later sentenced to 16 months in state prison on a gun possession charge after police found a .380 pistol near where Grant was arrested.
Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Robert Perry granted a defense motion earlier this month to allow the incident as part of evidence in Mehserle's trial.
The trial was moved from Alameda County to Los Angeles due to widespread media coverage and racial tensions sparked by the case.
On cross-examination, Rains tried to show jurors that Mesa may have been less than truthful about her recollection of the events. He said cell phone records showed two calls made from Mesa to Grant right before the shooting that lasted 37 seconds and 16 seconds.
Also Monday, Dr. Alden Harken, chief of surgery at Alameda County Medical Center, testified how he and others tried to save Grant, who was breathing and had a pulse when he arrived at the hospital.
Grant suffered massive internal bleeding from the bullet that entered just left of his spine and ended up near his right collarbone. The projectile was taken out of a sealed manilla envelope in court but remained in a cup in a plastic bag.
"He continued to ooze from every place," Harken said of Grant's blood loss. "He succumbed three to four hours later."
Mesa, who cried briefly during her testimony, said the couple's daughter seemed upset the night of the shooting and Grant had made plans with her while Mesa was at work on New Year's Day.
"She asked him not to leave her," Mesa said of her daughter. "He told her, 'I promise to take you and any one of your cousins to Chuck E. Cheese.'"

When "Teen Mom 2" star Jenelle Evans revealed on Wednesday that she's expecting a second child, the first thing that came to most people's mind was: "She doesn't even have custody of the one child she does have!"
But on Thursday, the 21-year-old told her near 600,000 Twitter followers that she was working on regaining custody of her 3-year-old son, Jace, who has been under her mother Barbara's care since shortly after he was born as the then 18-year-old struggled with drug abuse. Although the two women have a very explosive relationship and are often at war on the show – mostly about Jenelle's partying and bad choice of boyfriends – things seem to have mellowed now that she's expecting again. "My mother and I had the best conversation yesterday about getting Jace back in the future," Jenelle tweeted. "Everything is looking up for me!"
[Related: 'Teen Mom' Messes]
Jenelle, who recently admitted to using heroin, also made it clear that she's been clean for two months, which is good news considering she is seven weeks along!
Still, there have been some drawbacks. The reality star, who tweeted photos of herself in her bra and sweatpants showing off her barely-there bump, also revealed that she's been suffering from morning sickness and has been so exhausted she's been falling asleep early. In a tweet to her husband of six weeks, Courtland Rogers, she apologized "for falling asleep in the car on the way home last night lmao."
Jenelle also mused to her followers about how "weird" it would be to breastfeed her baby since she has implants and fielded questions about her baby shower and where fans can send gifts ... which begs the question: Is Jenelle more concerned about her baby or all the positive attention it's getting her?

If you have time, it can make a big difference in your savings
It may seem impossible to save what you need to afford your kids' education and also put enough away for retirement. But even though you may not know it, you have a powerful ally on your side – compound interest.
At its most basic, compound interest means that an investment of money begins to earn interest income on its interest income, accelerating its growth. So if you have $1,000 in an account and earn 3% interest, you'll have $1,030 at the end of one year, but $1,061 after two years. And the more you contribute, the faster the account will build. The real power comes over time, as the account continues to grow exponentially based on the principal times interest.
Why is this important? Because it can help you achieve those long-term savings goals, like saving for your children's college education or retirement. With the power of compound interest, if you put $2,500 into a college savings account each year earning 3% interest, it would be worth $47,892 at the end of 15 years.
You can also apply this concept to retirement savings. So if you put $7,000 in a retirement account each year that earns 3% interest, it would be worth $343,019 after 30 years.
That's why the time value of money depends on the power of compound interest. If you start early and save in an account that can provide you with growth, you can have a much greater amount than if you buried that money in the back yard. So use this power to your advantage while you can.

Along with fat men, philosophy and Skrillex, Christianity is now one of the definitive expressions of the 'uncool'. Call yourself a Christian, and you're no fun, too moral, antisexual and you must be preachy (Unlike all those atheists writing a lot of books). We've heard how Christians dominate the media. For example, Slayer's anti-religious music sells a lot less than Thousand Foot Krutch's God-praising anthems.
Actually, that doesn't really happen. The problem with putting yourself all the time in the position of the rebel and iconolast, you can't realize when you've already won and create a new class of victims. Now, I'm not saying Christians are an oppressed group. Considering their size and the millions sects, it's an absurd statement to make because there's little way of knowing if they are. Nevertheless, Christianity is under attack.
Firs it begun in the Academia with Kierkagaard and eventually Existensliam. All around in culture you found opposition to Christianity, whether these are stories of how badly they treated Africans or loud rock songs against God. Reading this book in this time and age is so bizarre. A defense of Islam or even Judaism we can tolerate – these are the Other culture, so we refrain from judging. How can someone praise Christianity, especially Catholicism? Aren't they all privileged?
It's undoubtedly a Christian novel that not only features a priest of a lead character, but deals with themes in the Catholic perspective. While I'm not well-versed in Catholicism and I'm sure theologians can find many a hidden meaning, the familiar themes raise their heads. Fear, trembling, sin, guilt, forgiveness are the dominating themes here along with the pessimistic view of the religion.
Catholicism is a fairly pessimistic worldview. Although they object to suicide, their view of the world is negative. The world is a bad, harsh place full of suffering. Greene's Mexico isn't just a critique of how Catholics were treated, but how the world is for all of us. This Mexico is hostile to everyone. The Whisky Priest is as much of a plot device as he is a character, showing us the various lives of others.
Each of them suffer because of the world they're in. If the priests are traitors, they are only traitors because they try to give meaning to the suffering in this world. In this world people, in a way, forsake meaning. The boy refuses to listen to his mom reading books, and so does not connect to the family. It is a land not concerned with meaning. When the police takes hostages and shoots them until they give up the priest, it's a future critique of Charles Taylor's 'instrumental reason', when we think only of how to solve a problem instead of how to fix it.
Yet it's not a self-righteous novel at all. The idea of a 'whisky priest' is one that preaches virtue but cannot practice it. That's because integral to Catholicism isn't just sinning, but forgiveness. There is this struggle between the weight of sin which is the source of evil and forgiveness, which is supposed to be the source of good. Greene isn't interested in preaching his religion but exploring and expressing this struggle.
That's why, in the end, this novel isn't exactly religious. It merely deals with themes which Catholics consider more important than, perhaps, making a lot of money or coming up with a new viral video. This focus on sin and forgiveness births a synthesis. Greene is deeply interested in human beings as they are.
Like the best realists, even when his characters can be dry he draws them sympathetic in their flaws. For the whole novel we're encouraged to hate the police. Then at the end Greene gives them more than a voice, he gives them the ability to forgive and empathize. He recognizes 'sin' depends on who you ask, and that for the police being a Catholic priest is a sin. Greene gives the antagonist his moment of spotlight, pushes his humanity out and show us he's capable of forgiveness. There's still a bit of demonization there, although Greene tries hard not to do it. The uselessness of religion is talked about and demonstrated throughout the novel. When the bad guy goes off on his rant, there's still a bit of narrow-mindedness there.
Similarly to the worst realists, Greene can have a problem of mood. The novel is gloomy, full of suffering and people struggling just to get by. He paints them with empathy and a bit of humanity, but he can't get over the distance. In general realists have a hard time doing it. I still don't understand completely what is it that allowed Carver to make you feel right next to his characters, but Greene can't captures that. Perhaps it's because Carver had his weird moments. Most of the variety in tone comes from drowning you in dialogues unlike this novel.
At least if Greene sticks to a single tone, he's successful at expressing it. The story format helps it. Following a nameless protagonist defined by his role already gives an air of poetry and detachment from the physical world. His poetic yet sparse writing, a more flowery Carver helps with this. Even the landscape in the novel is sparse, with most villages containing little more than a few huts and the big city is defined mainly by having a ship there. His prose isn't particularly unique. In fact, it follows the ordinary techniques of getting out and in of character's heads. Thankfully he has enough insight and empathy to these characters, enough focus on making the writing beautiful but clear that it doesn't harm. He already has a structure to tie him down anyway
Stuck between poetic realism and hard realism, Greene doesn't reach the best of these but he's good enough. If this meant to be an expression of Catholic values, it's convincing. These values appear in overall existence, in day to day lives. God's name appears a lot, but we see these values in actions, in people sinning, feeling guilty, trying to forgive or refusing to have sympathy for the sinner. It achieves what the best literature should aim for – an expression that leads to greater understanding of human experience and the weird forces in our lives.

Kind of.
My four-year olds are totally enthralled with costumes, and I have had occasion to dine with a unicorn, giraffe, lion, or Captain America. Batman helps me pick out tampons at the drug store (complete with drawn out and loud discussions about female anatomy), and a jellyfish has had a fit about buying pancake mix for some indeterminate point in the future instead of setting up shop in the homewares section like some insane Top Chef challenge and making them RIGHT NOW. This is just our every day life. When it comes to Halloween, I feel like we have to up the ante a little.
It turns out that one aspect of parenting I am not terrible at is costumes. I discovered this when the boys had a recital at daycare. The kids had to dress up as various animals, making costumes out of "inexpensive household items". I made this instead:
To be fair, a lot of other parents went kind of over the top too, but I can safely say that I went the most over the top by a wide margin. A lot of glue was involved while I cracked the whip over Mr. Giraffe to custom paint the costume while I fiddled around getting the eyes right. I am still not satisfied with them. I am still finding bits of foam everywhere in our house.
Halloween prep started shortly after this. Angry Birds are the order of the day here, so Angry Birds it would be. The Engineer wanted to be Chewbacca Bird and the Unicorn wanted to be a Slingshot.
*scratches head*
Uhhh… ok, let's roll with that.
Plans changed when we found amazing Yellow Angry Bird and King Pig masks at good ol' Wallyworld. Mr. Giraffe was tired and I think vaguely optimistic that we'd just achieved a somewhat easy holiday.
It should come as no surprise at all to you that a month later I found myself finding Angry Birds templates for pumpkins, buying eavestrough joints, and hoarding boxes and cardboard to "just add a little something" to Halloween festivities.
I am a busy woman, so I left the eavestrough at my dad's house with instructions to turn it into a slingshot for Yellow Bird. I think he thought I was insane, but he totally made that shit happen, and made me completely envious of the fact that he 1) owns tools, 2) knows how to use the tools, and 3) is retired. The final product was better than I would have ever been able to achieve and happened with very little input from me. It worked out so well I am going to see if I can outsource a lot of things now (See: aforementioned tampon and pancake mix purchasing).
Two days before Halloween, Mr. Giraffe excitedly messaged me to ask: "Are we making Halloween costumes tonight?" I was confused by his enthusiasm and participation until I realized the subtext was "Are you going to be knee-deep in cardboard shavings, hot gluing your fingers together for the next two days?"
Indeed, I was.
King Pig needed a TNT box. Parents out there can attest to the fact that diaper boxes are the most useful byproduct of child-rearing, and they proved their worth again here. As my dear friend Sara noted later, I was going balls out. I couldn't half-ass this with markers. No, I was going to make a 3D textured TNT box that looks just like real life. Except, you know, the 2D cartoon version of real life. Or something. I think I have my dimensions confused. Anyway, it was going to be epic.
The first night I thought really hard about how I wanted to achieve the box. I even cut 3 strips of cardboard and a head hole. Feeling really good about my progress, I rewarded myself with as many rounds of Candy Crush as I could manage (5. DAMN YOU CANDY CRUSH, I WILL NOT SPEND MONEY ON YOU) and went to bed, confident that I would be able to complete my project before bedtime on the 30th.
I did, in fact, complete the costume before going to bed on the 30th. Or rather, four hours past my bedtime at 3 am on the 31st. At 6 pm on the 30th, my parents came to deliver the slingshot. At 7:30 pm, the groupthink and yelling about how to attach the slingshot to the Unicorn's body was accomplished, as was the total and complete defraying of all of my nerves. At 7:35, Mr. Giraffe had delivered the kids to bed, and wisely disappeared, not to be seen by the rest of the night. At 9 pm, I had a bloodied hand and 3 Angry Bird themed pumpkins that had to have various parts of them hot glued back together.
Pumpkins achieved, I turned my attention to the TNT box. At 11 pm, I ran out of hot glue, and narrowly avoided impaling myself with a box cutter, then remembered there was a bottle of wine in the freezer. At 11:01 the top of that bottle shattered while I was trying to reef the cork out with all my might. At 11:03, I strained the glass shards out of that wine and drank the hell out of it.
Without the benefit of hot glue, I had to hold the pieces together while watching nine episodes of Duck Dynasty. Those dudes are really wholesome. I think I would get along with Uncle Si. I had a long time to think about this. Finally, I had the genius idea to hold the glued pieces together with my hair band, and called it a night. It was 3 am.
At 3:04, I discovered that the Unicorn had an ear infection. At 7:30 am, I had a complete mental break where I believed that "just ten minutes" of sleep would carry me through the day, and I was at risk of murdering anyone who told me otherwise. At 7:42 am, the Engineer declared that he wasn't going to wear the TNT box because it hurt, and I had an aneurism, while I simultaneously wondered if I could somehow squeeze my middle-aged carcass into it instead.
At 9 am, I was at the walk-in clinic with the Unicorn where he was crying so loud and so hard that they let him in ahead of a lady with a spurting head wound.
At .. oh fuck, I don't even know. Later in the day, we found ourselves wandering around the drug store. The Unicorn laid down in the aisle. He was curled around a discounted stuffed Angry Bird, and it appeared to be the only thing keeping him alive. We purchased that bird: who was I to say no? I lamented that Angry Birds came into our lives only during moments of weakness; like when we hand over the iPad because we're tired. This had delivered me directly to this moment, scarred up by Angry Bird costumes, undone by my own weakness There were a lot of surprisingly complicated thoughts going through my head given the fact that I could not form complete sentences and had to have a nap in the van before I trusted myself to drive home.
At 6:30 pm, everyone was properly propped up on ibuprofen, and we were out trick or treating with the neighbors. I made hot chocolate and Baileys for the adults. When Mr. Giraffe inadvertently spilled my drink all over me, I made lemonade out of lemons.. or rather, skipped the hot chocolate, poured whisky out of the bottle, and drank an entire mug, and made excuses twice to run back to our house to refill it. The boys had a grand time, and I am pretty sure I was unfit to parent by that point, so thank the Great Pumpkin Mr. Giraffe was out too. Maeby dressed up as a bee.
The End.
Lesson Learned: STOP DOING ALL THE THINGS, STUPID.

You know it's trouble when Chuck walks around saving people and being nice and sh-t and…giving massages. Where's the bad? Not bad crazy but bad bad. Georgina's bad has become Single White Female. Doesn't count at all. The lack of bad means an increase in suck. Gossip Girl has sucked all season.
And Jenny and Eric continue to not matter.
The uselessness of their roles fascinates Duana. However Jenny's getting a new love interest soon to be played by Kevin Zegers. But why would any boy find that attractive? The face is HORROR.
And worst still…our show, is it gone? Watching it just doesn't bring the same fun.
We missed out on Hilary Duff's debut episode last week because, again, Michelle was producing Toronto We Day and we were her cheerleaders. And even then, we didn't miss much. Vanessa is a plot device, not a character. Scott is gross. Serena persists in not opening her mouth when she talks. And Chuck and Blair are turning into a middle aged couple.
Here are the kids on set this week and us below, still tripping over the sight of Dorota in street clothes.
Gossip Girl Weekly

Duana: She's somehow - all of this is to get at Blair? Maybe she loves Chuck?

Michelle: It's like a fungus.
Michelle: Do you ever stare at photographs pensively?
Lainey: do you ever close your eyes posing?
Michelle: I wish I did.
Duana: Guys, you have to think about this. They would rather give a subplot to RUFUS AND LILLY than to Jenny and/or Eric.

Duana: I'm watching a chuck/carter faceoff, E, I thought you'd still be here.
Duana: And you're right, his hair is magnificent.
Michelle: Why is Carter's hair a huge grease ball?
Duana: Because he's BAD.
Duana: And because they've decided to exacerbate his passing resemblance to Spencer Pratt.
Lainey: NOOOOOOOOO. you did not just compare him to spencer prat. Why do you hate me?
Duana: He LOOKS like him!
Michelle: So Serena is Upper East Side's answer to Heidi?

Duana: He's 15 feet away, rufus, he didn't get that goddamn far!
Duana: Serena needs to mumble now
Duana: some more. Again.
Michelle: Carter's lips are joker-like
Lainey: i'm telling you. it's carter's overbite. i want.

Duana: and wanting to play board games. Thanks for the drama, SHOW.
Michelle: And no one cares that Sonic Youth(s) is playing?!
Lainey: how is Blake Lively's body even POSSIBLE?
Michelle: Who is their cameo for? The Show Runner?
Duana: OPEN YOUR MOUTH, Serena! You inexplicably like some guy, the least you can do is care!
Lainey: i like the way they talk about people in last name terms. it's very exciting. the Buckleys.

Home > Fitness & Health > Health Library > Cathy's Story: Dealing With Stress
It was a week to forget.
Cathy was working hard and training a new employee. She was enduring long meetings. She and her husband had just moved into a new house. And they were set for a trip to Italy in 2 weeks.
"I had too much to do and too little time," Cathy says. "That means stress. And when I start stressing, my back starts aching. Before I knew it, my back was screaming at me."
Cathy has lived with back pain for years and knows how to deal with it. She finds time for stretches or exercises. She takes breaks at work.
But this time, Cathy felt too busy to find time. And she paid for it.
"I knew it was time to do something," Cathy remembers. "And I had to deal with both my back pain and my stress. Otherwise, Italy would be a nightmare."
Cathy took some aspirin for her back. She iced her back in the morning and evening. She put reminders on her computer to change positions and get up and stretch.
And for stress, she got on her bike.
Cathy explains, "I've always used exercise to relieve stress, so getting out on my bike takes some of the pressure away. But cycling is also good for my back."
Road cycling keeps Cathy's back in a comfortable position and also makes muscles in her back stronger. Stronger muscles mean a stable spine. This can reduce and help prevent back problems.
Cathy broke the pattern. She knew that making time to deal with her stress and back pain would save her time in the long run. Her back pain began to melt away. She started to look forward to her upcoming Italian vacation. She was once again living la dolce vita—the sweet life.
This story is based on information gathered from many people living with low back pain.

SEC Charges Seven in Global Warming Pump-and-Dump Scheme
SEC Charges Seven in Global Warming Pump-and-Dump Scheme
Washington, D.C., Feb. 18, 2011 — The Securities and Exchange Commission today charged a group of seven individuals who perpetrated a fraudulent pump-and-dump scheme in the stock of a sham company that purported to provide products and services to fight global warming.
Additional Materials
The SEC alleges that the group included stock promoters, traders, and a lawyer who wrote a fraudulent opinion letter. The scheme resulted in more than $7 million in illicit profits from sales of stock in CO2 Tech Ltd. at artificially inflated prices. Despite touting impressive business relationships and anti-global warming technology innovations, CO2 Tech did not have any significant assets or operations. The company was purportedly based in London, and its stock prices were quoted in the Pink Sheets.
According to the SEC's complaint filed in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida, the scheme was perpetrated through Red Sea Management Ltd., a Costa Rican asset protection company that laundered millions of dollars in illicit trading proceeds out of the United States on behalf of its clients. The U.S. Department of Justice today announced related criminal charges against six of the individuals.
"This group of illicit stock promoters sought to hide their scheme behind offshore entities, but their misconduct was exposed by the excellent cooperation of law enforcement agencies here and abroad," said Cheryl Scarboro, Associate Director in the SEC's Division of Enforcement.
According to the SEC's complaint, the fraudulent pump-and-dump scheme in CO2 Tech stock occurred from late 2006 to April 2007 through the efforts of the following individuals:
- Jonathan R. Curshen, a Sarasota, Fla., resident who founded and led Red Sea.
- David C. Ricci and Ronny Morales Salazar of San Jose, Costa Rica, who were Red Sea stock traders.
- Ariav "Eric" Weinbaum and Yitzchak Zigdon of Israel, who were Red Sea clients.
- Robert L. Weidenbaum of Coral Gables, Fla., a stock promoter who operates a company called CLX & Associates.
- Michael S. Krome of Lake Grove, N.Y., a lawyer who allegedly wrote a fraudulent opinion letter.
The SEC's complaint alleges that CO2 Tech falsely touted business relationships that the company had not formed, including a relationship with the Boeing Company. In fact, there were no communications, correspondence or understandings between CO2 Tech and Boeing.
The SEC alleges that Weinbaum and Zigdon initiated the pump-and-dump of CO2 Tech by utilizing the services of Krome, who issued a fraudulent opinion letter to enable them to have the restrictive legend removed from their CO2 Tech stock certificate. This provided them nearly full control over the freely tradeable shares of CO2 Tech stock. Weinbaum then hired Red Sea to sell massive quantities of CO2 Tech stock to the investing public through its web of nominee brokerage accounts. Zigdon caused the materially false and misleading information about CO2 Tech to be disseminated in press releases and on CO2 Tech's website.
According to the SEC's complaint, Weinbaum hired Weidenbaum to redistribute the false information through websites, spam e-mails and fax blasts. Weidenbaum enlisted a group of stock promoters who then executed illegal "matched orders" with Red Sea's nominee brokerage accounts in order to "jump-start" the market and increase the price of the stock. As a result of the false media campaign and the illegal matched orders, the market price of CO2 Tech stock increased 81 percent increase in one day and trading volume increased 1,573 percent.
The SEC alleges that after Weinbaum hired Red Sea, he directed Red Sea stock traders Ricci and Salazar to sell the stock. Ricci and Salazar placed multiple layered orders to sell CO2 Tech stock – thereby creating the false appearance that the market for the stock was deeper than it actually was. This coordinated misconduct enabled stock sales at artificially inflated prices for profits of more than $7 million at the expense of unsuspecting investors.
The SEC's complaint alleges that Curshen, Ricci, Salazar, Weinbaum, Zigdon, and Krome violated Section 5(a), (c) and 17(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 thereunder. Weidenbaum is charged with aiding and abetting Weinbaum and Zigdon's violations of Exchange Act 10(b) and Rule 10b-5. Without admitting or denying the allegations in the complaint, Ricci settled the SEC's charges by agreeing to an injunction against future violations of these provisions and a penny stock bar.
In the related criminal action, charges brought by the Justice Department's Criminal Division were unsealed against Curshen, Krome, Salazar, Weidenbaum, Weinbaum, and Zigdon. The defendants are charged in the Southern District of Florida variously with conspiracy to commit securities, mail and wire fraud; wire fraud; mail fraud; violating the securities regulation laws and obstruction of justice.
The SEC's investigation was conducted by Deborah Tarasevich, Keith O'Donnell and John Lehmann, Jr. Richard Simpson will litigate the case. The SEC acknowledges the assistance of the Fraud Section of the Criminal Division of the U.S. Department of Justice, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and the U.S. Postal Inspection Service. The SEC also acknowledges the assistance of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) and several foreign law enforcement agencies that provided substantial support to the investigation, including the Costa Rican Police, British Columbia Securities Commission, Israel Securities Authority, United Kingdom Financial Services Authority, and The City of London Police.

Floyd Mayweather -- Tempting Lindsay Lohan ... at Booze-Filled Halloween Party
Floyd Mayweather Tempting Lindsay Lohan At Booze-Filled Halloween Party
Floyd Mayweather challenged Lindsay Lohan to the ultimate fight last night -- he brought the recovering alcoholic into his booze-filled VIP booth during a raging Halloween party ... where she battled to resist temptation.
Floyd and Lohan hosted the Oct. 31 costume bash at the Foxwoods Resort and Casino in Connecticut. Floyd dressed up as Freddy Krueger and Lindsay dressed up as a bloody Carrie from "The Rage."
Sources at the party tell us ... Floyd and Lindsay got along like two old friends -- with Floyd inviting her into his private VIP booth ... which was stocked with several bottles of champagne.
It's a tough spot for Lindsay -- who LOOOVES to drink -- but has been in and out of rehab because, well, she's got an alcohol problem.
Our sources tell us ... Lindsay was seen drinking out of a cup -- but it's unclear if she was boozing or sipping on something of non-alcoholic variety.
As we previously reported, Lindsay parted ways with her sober coach last month -- and believes she can stay on the wagon by herself. Let's hope she's right ...

Apple released on Sunday an update that fixes a problem where the iPhone 5 draws data from the carrier Verizon despite being connected to a Wi-Fi network.
Apple's advisory said the scenario happens "under certain circumstances" but did not give more detail. The problem could potentially increase users' bills if they exceed the data allowance allowed by Verizon.
The update comes as people have complained of other issues concerning Apple's latest iteration of its popular smartphone, released Sept. 21, including Wi-Fi connectivity issues and that the device is easily scratched. The iPhone 5 has been also been mildly criticized for not enabling new technology such as NFC (Near Field Communications) but generally been praised as a solid product.
But Apple CEO Tim Cook apologized on Friday for Apple's mapping application, which replaced Google Maps in iOS 6. Users complained the application wasn't accurate and contained errors. Cook said the application would improve, and until then users could use Microsoft's Bing, Google Maps or Nokia's Waze.
Apple said Sept. 25 it had sold 5 million iPhone 5s, with more than 100 million installations of iOS 6.
