This was one of those outfits that just came together – I pulled it piece by random piece out of my closet until it felt right, and then I stood in front of my full-length mirror for a long minute. There was so much about it that I loved – the contrast of the floral skirt with the army green color of the jacket – the peplum look created by cinching the waist up a bit and adding the belt – my new(ish) fringy boots that seemed to tie it all together. But then again – it looked like a bit of a risk – the kind of outfit that might turn heads, and maybe not all in a good way. I asked Eric for advice. He just kind of looked at me and shrugged - it's different, but isn't that kind of what you were going for? I couldn't help but laugh and roll my eyes. Because he was partly right – I am always looking to push the boundaries just a bit – I do like to be noticed for the outfits I put together, but in the respectable - wow, why didn't I think of that/she looks great kind of way. Not in the omg, what is she wearing, that's hideous sort. I think it's important to take risks – in the big things in life, and also in the little things. How much success did Sex in the City gain by taking big, huge fashion risks? And isn't that Bradshaw style something we're still trying to pull together now, years after the show and two successful movies? We love Carrie's style because she wears things that are different, cooky, and always a bit of a risk.
One of my favorite bloggers, Beth Jones of B.Jones Style, effortlessly channels the Patricia Field/Carrie Bradshaw style on a regular basis (she's even started a regular column entitled, "What Would Carrie Wear"). Over time, I've learned from her that it's okay to take risks as long as you stand confidently behind your fashion choices. I've seen Beth wear some really out-there pieces, but she always looks SO fantastic – she pulls it off not only because she's pulled it together, but because she wears her outfits with the kind of bold confidence that turns heads and opens the mind.
SO – this is my bit-of-a-risk ensemble. Hope you like it – but I'm totally okay if you don't
What I'm Wearing:
Army Jacket: Gap, last year (similar styles @ Gap or Old Navy)
Floral Print Mirror Skirt: H&M, last year (similar style @ ASOS, JCPenney or Target)
Belt: Vintage (from my Mamaw's closet! Similar style @ anthropologie)
Booties: Target (still available online!)
Monogram Necklace: "Classic Monogram" by West Avenue @ Max & Chloe
Bracelet: Anthropologie (similar)
I couldn't resist these last few sun-drenched photos. I know they're probably less about the outfit, but Michael really killed it with the magic-hour lighting!

Read MoreI know, I know. HOW could a margarita possibly be healthy? You must think I'm crazy. Let me explain.
I love a good margarita, especially in the summertime. They're right up on my list with sangria and this delicious concoction. However – I feel like a good margarita is hard to make at home – should you buy the pre-made mix? Make everything from scratch? What kind of tequila should you buy? What are the ingredients of a good marg? My friend Bethany and I have been experimenting for a few years, and I think she finally came up with a winning recipe. I did nothing to contribute to this concoction, other than the fact that I drank one, and promptly begged her to let me blog the recipe. I wouldn't call this a "skinny" recipe, though it it full of yummy ingredients that aren't completely full of sugar and artificial ingredients. This recipe is crisp and refreshing, and perfect for a summer pool party. Enjoy!

Read MoreLast week, I showed you how I styled this funky vintage t-shirt in a slightly "amped-up" casual/cute outfit. Today, I want to show you an additional spin on this look with jeans, a leather jacket and a pair of fringy ankle boots. I loved the feedback I got last week, but perhaps my favorite was the comment that it was an inspiration to "try harder" in regards to everyday style. How easy is it to throw on yoga pants or jeans, and forget about the little details that give an outfit personality? What I'm saying is, it doesn't take much to give a jeans-and-tshirt outfit a fun twist! Swapping out flip-flops or tennis shoes for a fun shoe with a low heel – a bright pop of color on the lips – simple statement jewelry – all those things can take a simple outfit from drab to fabulous! To an extent – the beauty really is in the details!
I'd also like to mention – I think a good leather jacket is an essential wardrobe piece. I looked for years – literally – before I found this soft grey washed version at Buffalo Exchange for less than $50. It's one of my favorite pieces in my collection – it goes with everything, I can rolls the sleeves up or down, and the draped neckline gives it a little extra femininity. I've listed four different options below, in case you're in the market for a versatile leather jacket!
What I'm Wearing
Marvel Comics T-Shirt: Vintage (cute versions here, here & here - and yes, I'm partial to Captain America!)
Boyfriend Jeans: Paige (thrifted – but I've heard wonders about Gap's Sexy Boyfriend Jeans!)
Booties: Target (still available online!)
Leather Jacket: Banana Republic Collection (thrifted – cute pink faux option from Nordstrom, studded faux Sam Edelman in the perfect color, moderately priced option from Eddie Bauer, MAJORLY gorgeous investment piece by Vince)
Bracelet: Forever 21
"P" Ring: Thrifted
Lips: Mary Kay "Red Salsa" (discontinued – I recently bought MAC's Ruby Woo, and I love it!)
I've never been a fan of ankle-height shoes until I spotted these low-heeled fringy boots at Target. I got them on clearance a few months ago, but they're still available online (listed above). They're my go-to shoes for Spring, especially with jeans, dresses and skirts.
There you have it – the Marvel shirt in all it's vintage glory!
I bought this ring at a thrift store, for no other reason than it was cute. I don't have a P in my initials – no family or close friends with a "P" name – but my friend Sarah was quick to remind me that "P" is for PRETTY, and I think of that every time I wear it
And… just in case I didn't already feel like Super Woman in this outfit, Michael had to go and catch some sun flare in my hair – I LOVE this photo. So much. Thanks for making me feel beautiful friend!
I'm re-wearing these boots in a totally different way next week – and I've also got a few other fun things to share with you, including a killer skinny/natural margarita recipe! Have a delightful Thursday!

Read MoreSo I've gotta be honest – I've really loved featuring these two-part outfits lately! I think it's really important to know the versatility of your wardrobe, and how one piece of clothing can be worn several ways. I'm a firm believer in the "three-way rule" – the notion that you shouldn't invest in something unless you can see yourself wearing it at least three different ways. My closet gets worn through and through, and I'm always looking for fun/inexpensive/quirky pieces to throw into the mix. Enter this shirt: I was thrifting with my friend Becky a few months ago, when I overheard a mother with her daughters arguing over a t-shirt. I could hear the younger girl telling her mom it was "weird and uncool," which of course, immediately sparked my interested. The mother let out an exasperated sigh, and I could see her hang the item back on the rack with frustration. I beelined over to the shirt they'd been discussing, and was delighted to find a vintage comic shirt, featuring not one, but all the Marvel super heroes… Score!
Even though I paired this t-shirt with a skirt and heels – I don't think this outfit feels fancy. This is what I'd call amped-up casual – just a really cute every day look. I wouldn't necessarily wear this to work (I'm between our front shop and warehouse all day, so I try to stick to spray paint friendly attire), but I think it'd be awesome for meeting up with friends or a casual date night.
What I'm Wearing
Marvel Comics T-Shirt: Vintage (cute versions here, here & here – and yes, I'm partial to Captain America!)
Denim Jacket: American Eagle (suuuuper old – similar here)
Skirt: Thrifted (similar @ J.Crew (on sale) OR @ J.Crew Factory)
Heels: Target (similar here)
Clutch: Marc Jacobs – Neiman Marcus for Target Collection
Bracelet: Forever 21 (similar here)
Necklace: Forever 21 (similar here)
Lips: Mary Kay "Red Salsa" (discontinued – I recently bought MAC's Ruby Woo, and I love it!)
More proof that I can't keep a straight face during these shoots…
I have another outfit incorporating this vintage t-shirt coming next week, so stay tuned!

Read MoreLast week, I blogged a fancier/more professional outfit with this thrifted Liz Claiborne tweed skirt. Today, I'm dressing it down. I don't have near as many opportunities to get fancy these days, but I'm certainly not letting that get in the way of wearing this skirt a few more times!
One of my favorites things in my closet is this slubby heathered baseball tee from Target. I bought it a few years ago, and I honestly wish I'd purchased more than one. It goes with everything – I throw it on with jeans, tuck it into maxi skirts, layer it over button down shirts, and of course – it's perfect with sweatpants. It's easy to undervalue basic t-shirts like this one, and I'm really loving it paired with this tweed skirt for a dressed-down casual look.
I have another really fun t-shirt combo coming up next week, so stay tuned!
What I'm wearing:
Pink tweed skirt: Liz Claiborne, thrifted (similar J.Crew/similar Target)
Baseball Henley: Mossimo/Target, old (similar Target, Gap, American Apparel)
Canvas Sneakers: Old Navy (I bought two pairs of these I love them so much – one for now, and another for later!)
Arm Party: Marc Jacobs turnlock chain, Stella & Dot Cupcake Chain (discontinued)
I know you probably don't care about seeing 800 pictures of my face, but Michael made me feel so pretty in this next set, I had to include them:

Read MoreNeon Pink Tweed Mini Pencil Skirt
Yup. I have one of those. Thrifted it for less than $5 at the Goodwill down the street from me. And it is SO cute. For the last two years, up until I started working with Noteworthy Home, I worked in a professional environment. At Coach, I had a uniform to follow, so I couldn't be that creative with my outfits; at the law firm, I pretty much had free reign of my daily dressing (as long as I kept it professional and decent, of course). This is exactly the type of outfit I might've worn this Spring at the office, and I'm so giddy to show it on the blog today. Again – neon… pink… skirt. Need I say more?!
Now – I know what you're thinking. Meagan – emerald green does NOT go with neon pink! You're breaking all the rules, girlfriend! And you know what I say to that? Bring on the rule breaking. Because this outfit is fun and it makes me feel fabulous. Plus, emerald is Pantone's Color of the year (see how I worked that in there – I'm sneakier than you think I am!). Everything in this outfit is either a discount store buy, or a thrift find – I've had that pink cardi for longer than I can remember, and recently took it to the dry cleaner's for a sprucing up; the emerald silk shirt is a Buffalo Exchange find from a few years ago. Please excuse my ghostly white legs – we did this shoot just a week before I started my faux-tan regimen, which I might share, if you're interested. I feel so bronze right now, without the high maintenance routine I usually suffer through.
What I'm wearing:
Pink tweed skirt: thrifted (similar J.Crew/similar Target)
Silk button down: Express, thrifted (similar at J.Crew Factory)
Pink cardigan: old (super cute, similar Gap/similar J.Crew Factory)
Nude pumps: Guess (old, LOVE this style by Michael Kors, and this cute sandal from ShoeMint)
Rose gold clutch: Loeffler Randall for Target
Arm Party: right hand: Anthropologie (old, similar here); Left Hand: Marc Jacobs turnlock chain, Stella & Dot Cupcake Chain (discontinued), Rose Gold Cuff – Jewelry Show Find
Laughing at something Michael said, because he's my favorite
I remixed this skirt in a more casual outfit, so stay tuned!

Last weekend, I had the extraordinary opportunity to participate in McGowan Images' Girls on Film Spring Boudoir Marathon. Chelsea and I have worked on Boudoir several times before, but this was my first time to contribute to one of her marathons. And let me tell you – it was the most awesome, most fun, most exhausting, most rewarding thing I have been a part of since I started styling photoshoots.
There is so much time and effort and energy that goes into this process: weeks of shopping for accessories and props and makeup and hair products; email communication and consultation with all the participants; preparing a dressing room at the McGowan Studio in Arlington; creating a pinterest board and constantly updating it with new finds. And that is just what happened BEFORE the weekend began, and I met FOURTEEN different, beautiful, brave women.
A lot of work goes into the weekend itself too – we made a trip to the studio Friday night to set up, unload champagne, hang up the snazzy new GOF robes, hang up all the McG's gorgeous boudoir art and get props in order. Saturday morning started early – we were on the road at 7:00am and after a quick stop at Glazed for donuts (errrr, maple bacon & nutella-filled donuts), our first lady arrived promptly for primping at 8:30am. When we finished nearly 10 hours later, I can honestly say I've never been so tired, or so physically exhausted in my life. I had no idea how much physical/mental/emotional energy went into boudoir photography, and I applaud Chelsea on her ability to frequently rock these sessions. By the end of day one, I was fully laid-out on the wood floors of the studio, moaning about how everything in my body just hurt.
My responsibilities included makeup and hair enhancements (and a few full faces too!), outfit and accessory selection, and final "look" styling – essentially making sure all the pieces, errr, garter snaps were put together and ready to go for Chelsea. And, since Chelsea's husband Mack was unable to attend this weekend (female only event, lol), I also got to help with the reflectors - there is hilarious proof in the images below!
It's hard for me to nail down a favorite moment from the weekend. I loved the reactions to hair and makeup. I loved the ooohs and aaahs over the accessory and jewelry selection. I loved the compliments we received on the beautiful studio space at Bowen that Chelsea, Mack and I carefully styled and created. But most of all, I loved the transformation I got to witness in each girl – from the nervous beginnings of each session, to the total bombshell, I-totally-just-rocked-that confidence I could see at the end of each experience. The gratification I feel in being able to contribute, even in just a small way, to the confidence and positive image of each lady who participated is still overwhelming. In short, I'm still humbled and completely honored by the opportunity.
And because no post is complete without pictures – here's a few behind-the-scenes shots that Chelsea was kind enough to take for me – enjoy!
Isn't she a beauty?
Fitting one of the stunning ladies with my favorite headpiece from the whole weekend – found on clearance for less than $10
Applying my new favorite lipstick – MAC's Ruby Woo, a universally flattering shade of red that was perfect for the bombshell look of Boudoir photos
That reflector was at least five feet wide, and over 6 feet tall – and also perfect for creating a shady spot of grass in the middle of a sunny day! What you can't see in the photo below is what it took to finally situate that massive reflector – Chelsea's head through the fence to my right, with the edge wedged between her neck, and me up on my tiptoes. All for the sake of getting the shot!
And last but not least, a few Instagram pics from our respective accounts (you can follow me @meaganbechtel, and Chelsea @chelsea_mcgowan)
I hope you enjoyed this little peek behind the scenes at the first outdoor Girls on Film marathon – I know Chelsea is also blogging about the experience today, and she's got the good stuff – i.e., all the fabulous final shots produced from these two days of AWESOME. Head over to her Boudoir blog now to check it out!
Now… when are scheduling round two?!

Book review: 'The Visioneers' looks at two scientists' views of the future
BY GLENN C. ALTSCHULER Special to the Tulsa World
Sunday, February 03, 2013
2/03/13 at 3:31 AM
Gerard O'Neill, a professor of physics at Princeton University, described himself as "a romantic, an idealist, and a practical physicist and engineer." O'Neill hoped that whenever the romance got out of hand, the physics and engineering would pull him back to reality.
O'Neill fits Patrick McCray's definition of a "visioneer." He invented the term, he suggests, to capture the activities of men (visioneers, he claims, were virtually always men) who developed broad and comprehensive conceptions of how technology could change the future, conducted substantive theoretical and applied work related to these conceptions, and promoted their ideas to policy makers and the general public.
In "The Visioneers," McCray, a professor of history at the University of California Santa Barbara, examines the experiences of O'Neill, a missionary for the establishment of space colonies, and Eric Drexler, a proponent of self-replicating nano-scale machines, and demonstrates that they existed "at the blurry boundary between scientific fact, technology possibility, and optimistic speculation."
Often (and easily) lampooned, the ideas of visioneers, he argues, often laid the foundations for research and development in important, emerging fields.
McCray's narrative is often fascinating. He connects interest in space colonies with a pervasive fear in the 1970s that unchecked population growth would precipitate an apocalyptic environmental crisis on Planet Earth.
He examines the "hedonistic view of a future made shiny and sexy by sophisticated technology" in Omni, a magazine founded by Bob Guccioni, who made his fortune with Penthouse, another sexy, if not always shiny, publication. And he sorts out the different theories, based in chemistry and computer science, that resulted in "nano-fabrication."
McCray is less successful in establishing the influence of his protagonists. He acknowledges that O'Neill became uncomfortable "with the isolated oddballs" attracted to his vision of colonization, that his company, Geostar, "failed for financial and political reasons," and that his ideas might be "a distraction." He does not make a compelling case that O'Neill "must be counted" as one of the factors that dissipated angst and ambivalence over technology.
McCray's assessment of Drexler's impact, moreover, is not accompanied by an evaluation of the critique of Drexler's principal antagonist, Nobel Laureate Richard Smalley.
McCray is (appropriately) dismissive of Smalley's ad hominem attacks, including his crack that chemists couldn't "stick molecules together as if they were Legos."
How valid, however, was Smalley's claim that chemical reactions occurred only "between consenting molecules"? Or the claim, made by law professor Lawrence Lessig, that Smalley was "stamping out good science" before it had been sufficiently evaluated?
McCray is surely right that visioneers work in terrain "made rough" by politics, economics, and the norms of an often-unforgiving scientific establishment, and that they sometimes do establish beachheads that make is possible for entrepreneurial scientists and engineers to push things forward in one direction or another.
Far more often, however, as McCray allows himself to admit, they "fall in love with their ideas, promoting them in the face of balanced criticisms," in ways that are not helpful to the technological ecosystem or the general polity.
Glenn C. Altschuler is the Thomas and Dorothy Liwin Professor at Cornell University.

Oklahoma football: Austin Woods battling through chemotherapy treatments
Junior center plans to keep playing football as he battles Hodgkin's lymphoma.
Two days before two-a-days began, Austin Woods was getting another chemotherapy treatment. He needed a day to recover. Then the next day, the first day of football practices, he was on the field with his Oklahoma teammates.

The junior center — who was diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma during the spring — only missed two practices during summer workouts. He didn't miss because he was tired or sick. He missed because he had to go for another treatment.
"Some days are definitely harder than others," Woods said Tuesday as he stood in his socks while talking to media for the first time since his diagnosis, "but I just wanted to keep the right mindset and attack every day."
Woods first realized something was wrong when the glands in his neck were constantly swollen during spring practice. He went to OU's athletic trainer, Scott Anderson, and asked if it was normal. Anderson told him no.
Woods went through tests. It wasn't mononucleosis. It wasn't strep throat. He got poked with the needle so many times it no longer bothered him. Then he saw an oncologist.
By then, the thought had crossed his mind that it may be cancer.
When he found out, Woods' first thought was, "When can I play football again?"
Now only four treatments remain. One is on Friday. Woods will be injected with an inch-long needle and sit in a chair at the Stephenson Cancer Center in Oklahoma City for four hours while toxins get pumped through his body. He will do this every two weeks and should be done around Oct. 1. He said he will travel with the team when they go to El Paso for the Sept. 1 opener against UTEP.
He hasn't gone through this alone. Woods' mom was diagnosed with breast cancer when he was 5. She or Woods' father have been at every treatment with him. His first treatment, his mom and Woods' best friend, offensive lineman Bronson Irwin, sat through the entire treatment with him.

Evidently, free throw shooting was not a point of emphasis on the practice schedule during Camp Cal the last two weeks. I just had to get that off my chest; a little thorn now and then is good to keep today's young and tender-minded egos in check, as well as the tender ears of the coaching staff when their sense of reality seems to get lost in how games can be won and/or lost. Free throws count as points, and unless the game has changed drastically before my eyes, whoever gets the most points wins.
Coach Cal being the ultimate player's coach tried to take a sword for his team after the game Saturday, saying it was his fault the Cats didn't finish off the comeback due to his poor timeout management down the stretch. My take is he was probably right on the finger pointing, but wrong on the coaching sin committed. The free throw shooting performance exhibited Saturday was a fallout of not putting in the free throw shooting repetitions needed on the practice floor to finish on game day, which Cal himself has admitted guilt in recent years at UK and Memphis.
NCAA basketball coaches have always talked out of both sides of their mouths when needed about the importance of free throws, but rarely spend the necessary amount of time in practice. It's just like NCAA football coaches talk about the importance of special teams, but rarely spend the amount of quality time in preparation needed.
Then come game day they all walk the sidelines wringing their hands and burying their heads in their hands as games slip away into the loss column.
That's enough. I'm through venting.
The University of Kentucky men's basketball program hasn't built its reputation on moral victories, nor has John Calipari reached his pinnacle in the coaching profession by squeezing in an overachieving game here and there. Both have more than earned their place in the annals of college basketball. But I'm betting that if you got the pure truth out of Coach Cal today, this UK team put a charge back in his battery with its performance against Louisville Saturday, especially from the noon mark on in the second half.
Rick Pitino and his highly ranked Louisville Cardinals had a little pay back on their mind last Saturday in the Yum Center, and although Cal's Cats put up a gallant fight, at the end of the day it was a classic case of too much of a Cardinal advantage in the all-important categories of experience, quality depth, and home court advantage for UK to overcome, especially against a top five team like Louisville.
However, there finally seems to be certain specific areas of confidence slowly building in this young Kentucky team as they approach the end of their non-conference schedule, which has actually provided them a few more games to get battle tested than many basketball gurus are giving them credit for.
Falling under the "what if" department, UK may have lost an opportunity to make a serious run at an upset win down the stretch had they not played so poorly in the last three minutes of the first half when Louisville eased out to an eight-point halftime lead. UK had actually been matching the Cards for the most part possession by possession for the first 17 minutes and holding a soft two to six point lead during the middle 10 minutes of the first half. Then missed free throw opportunities on the front and back end of three consecutive possessions, along with a couple of turnovers, opened the door for Louisville to extend out to what felt like a short but comfortable eight-point lead heading to the dressing room for the half time.
Down the second half stretch when UK was down 17 and about to be buried, the fight that Cal had been looking for since the preseason finally surfaced in several of the Wildcats. Along with a few timely three pointers from Kyle Wiltjer and Archie Goodwin, the Cats came up a couple turnovers and several missed free throws short of pulling off a big win.
Now the Cats have one more non-conference game with Eastern Michigan on Wednesday in Rupp Arena before they take an unusual weekend off and resume play with their first SEC game at Vanderbilt on Jan. 10. The Cats' first 10 SEC games are split evenly with five on the road and five at home, and none are against a ranked opponent. As a matter of fact, Florida and Missouri are the lone ranked SEC teams at the present time and appear to be the only SEC teams other than possibly UK to have a shot at being ranked the remainder of the year.
NCAA's 10 most difficult hoops venues I've experienced
Having grown up the youngest of an eight-member family that lived and died daily with sports, especially UK and KHSAA sports, along with just recently completing a 45-year career as a player, coach, A.D., scouting service director and game promoter, I've had the luxury of visiting some pretty special basketball venues across the USA. Recently, after being pushed by a few e-mail buddies and column friends, I've sat down and listed my top 10 basketball venues for a visitor to win in, so here goes. Feel free to send me your top 10, but only the ones you've personally witnessed game competition in.
1 - Memorial Coliseum / UK — Rupp's stretch from the late 40's to late 60"s was unique for any sport especially basketball.
2 - Cameron Indoor Stadium / Duke — Coach K's dominance in this pit may never be matched.
3 - Allen Field House/Kansas — I saw a very good Texas Tech team who beat North Carolina that March be humbled earlier that year in this gym when they were down 45-8 at halftime.
4 - Rupp Arena/UK — John Calipari's recent run of 51 in a row may yet be trumped in the future if the recruiting scenario continues for Cal.
5 - Henry Iba Arena/Oklahoma State — The noise can be deafening, and during the Eddie Sutton era it was even more special because he played for the legendary IBA.
6 - Freedom Hall/Louisville — Denny Crum in Freedom Hall was just about automatic during the 80's, and he took on all comers from coast to coast when scheduling.
7 - Dean Smith Center/North Carolina — Tar Heels slipped a little after the legendary Smith retired, but alum Roy Williams has brought back a couple NCAA championships.
8 - Assembly Hall/Indiana — Again Hoosiers like Tar Heels fell on hard times for about a decade after forcing The General out of town, but Cream seems to have them back on course.
9 - Old Barnhill Arena/Arkansas — Eddie Sutton made it famous then Nolan Richardson raised it a level with his 40 minutes of hell approach.
10 - Stokley Athletic Center/Tennessee — Ray Mears made it famous with the Ernie & Bernie Show, but Don Devoe was just as successful. God Joe B. hated this place.
Honorable Mention :
Maravich Assembly Center/LSU — Dale Brown had several elite teams but those teams led by The Pistol were special and very entertaining. Only Adolph Rupp could win in this place.
Diddle Arena/Western Ky. University — Many Hilltopper alumni tell me you couldn't gain admittance on game night without a red towel and / or a red shirt.
Actually, the toughest place to win a college basketball game during the decades of the 60's and 70's was over in Frankfort at Kentucky State University. You simply couldn't beat Lucius Mitchell and his boys. The legendary Adolph Rupp once said during the Mitchell era at KSU after watching him one night that, "I am proud of my boys, they play hard and can hold their own with just about anyone, but the best basketball player that I've seen in several years doesn't wear blue and white nor play in Lexington, he is over here in Frankfort and his name is Travis Grant."

Title: | 1W (flexible casting): diversity and doubleness in Anna Deavere Smith's On the Road: A Search for American Character |
Author: | Seamon, Mark Jeffrey |
Description: | This dissertation examines playwright and performer Anna Deavere Smith's critically acclaimed series, On the Road: A Search for American Character. Focusing on the project's thirteenth, fourteenth, and fifteenth installments, Fires in the Mirror: Crown Heights, Brooklyn and Other Identities, Twilight, Los Angeles, 1992, and House Arrest: A Search for American Character In and Around the White House, Past and Present, respectively, this study demonstrates how diversity and doubleness serve as the foundation of Smith's dramaturgical investigation into the relationship between language and character. Smith focuses on communities experiencing socio-political duress and persons whose voices have gone largely unheard within those communities. In collecting, editing, and performing verbatim excerpts from interviews with white, African American, Korean, Latino, and Jewish women and men, Smith's interest in cultural diversity plays a crucial role in fulfilling the mission of On the Road: to make connections between the seemingly disconnected and spark productive discussion about matters of race. Characters in Smith's dramas regularly reveal a sense of double consciousness, to quote W.E.B. Du Bois's influential concept, grappling with their awareness of themselves as racial minorities and how their identities are viewed as "other" by the dominant culture. Furthermore, many events upon which the plays are based are shown to have double meanings and be open to a wide range of interpretation. The same holds true for the imperfect but poetic language employed by characters to describe these events. By presenting a panoply of voices and exploring events from multiple perspectives, Smith investigates how and why disagreements, tensions, failures to understand, and inabilities to communicate have plagued the diverse populations of Crown Heights, Los Angeles, and the United States. This dissertation also explores how Smith's multiple identities as African American, woman, interviewer, playwright, and actor complicate her staged representations of character and are essential to reading her work in production. Finally, it examines the plays' production histories and critical response, weighing the consequences of how critics did and did not take into account arguably the most important character of all in On the Road: Smith herself. |

Introducing the Road to the Isles
The Road to the Isles begins to the west of Corpach on the A830 and works its way west towards Mallaig, where Caledonian MacBrayne Ferries take visitors to Armadale on the Isle of Skye.
Along this scenic route there are lots of places to stop, enjoy the scenery, appreciate the peace and quiet.
Loch Eil is the first major landmark on your left as your travel towards Fassfern and Glenfinnan. This sea loch is home to Outward Bound Locheil - the outdoor adventure centre. Loch Eil is also used to farm mussels which grow well in the cool, clean waters of the loch. Locheilside is a mix of small crofts and dwellings with some nice scenery to enjoy throughout the year. Ben Nevis is particularly impressive from Loch Eil. In the summer months, the Jacobite Steam Train works its way along the lochside on its way out west - there are a few good places to see the train pass on its journey. (the views of the train in this fantastic scenery would be a lot more enjoyable if someone would realise that the scrub trees need to be cut back every few years.)
At Kinlocheil, near Fassfern there's a train stop and if you take the junction on the left at the head of the loch, signposted A861, there's very pleasant tour around the west shore which eventually takes your to Treislaig, where a small ferry will take you over Loch Linnhe to Fort William, or you can continue down to Ardgour, and cross with your car over Corran Narrows.
Proceeding westwards, the next village is Glenfinnan. This is a terrific place and we have a section all about Glenfinnan on the site. Glenfinnan and Loch Shiel should be on your "Must Visit" list of places.
The road climbs up the hill and after a few miles you'll see Loch Eilt on your left. This is a good place to see the Steam Train.
From Loch Eilt the road takes you to Lochailort and then over a gradual descent, back to sea-level at the viaduct which carries the West Highland Line through the hills to Arisaig. From Arisaig to Mallaig is possibly the prettiest section of the route. Less mountainous, but numerous beaches and great sea views bring in the changes of this interesting journey. If you are traveling on to Skye, your find the ferry at Mallaig going back and forth the Sound of Sleat to Armadale. If not, this area is well worth exploring, including beautiful Loch Morar - a huge fresh water loch..
From Mallaig there are sea routes to the Small Isles and to Inverie on the shore of Loch Nevis. You can also walk over the hills to Inverie to enjoy some good food and entertainment at The Old Forge - Britain's most remote pub.
There is of course a lot more to the Road to the Isles - the history, the geology, the wildlife and of course the people who live and work here.
If you are also planning a visit to Scotland's capital - the City of Edinburgh, we recommend taking a look through the pages of the AboutEdinburgh website for information about accommodation, travel, festival events and the amazing history of this world famous city.

This World Cup may be quite scary. I know the Germans are going to be vigilant, but with a history of violence between Germans and Poles- and of course our own hooligans, we could be in for a difficult summer.
The BBC reports that Polish hooligans are starting to turn their attention to Germany and this summer's World Cup. Apparently they want to test themselves against the elite of European hooliganism in a country that is only an hour's drive away.
What losers.
I just hope we can keep it clean.
UPDATE: This is not a joke: Oguchi Onyewu has been the victim of an unprovoked racially motivated attack following the Anderlecht Brugge clash he was watching as a spectator.

Bell maintains a CDMA roaming agreement with MTS; however Bell's access to MTS / Rogers HSPA coverage is not as clean-cut.
I can't seem to find that on the Industry Canada web site, but maybe I'm doing it wrong. Or is it the spectrum allocated to Fido that was reauctioned/allocated but the thing I'm looking at was never updated?
Isn't that what MTS has done? They jumped into bed with Rogers and told Bell/Telus to take a hike on HSPA, didn't they?
Bell maintains a CDMA roaming agreement with MTS; however Bell's access to MTS / Rogers HSPA coverage is not as clean-cut.
It would be way easier for them if Telus fully built out their network. I know they already reach the majority of Manitobans, but or anyone in the rural areas, it is useless.
I do suspect Bell will go with Telus though, just like they do everywhere else.
well bell is very much ready to launch, they were 90% done setting up the kiosk at polo park when i was there today.
haha I was there as well - no windows phones...boo!
Bell should be launching on Wednesday...
Well any way you look at it, they do add more competition to the scene. Hopefully they will push Telus to put up more towers.
I really hope they will continue to expand beyond what the coverage map currently shows. Unfortunately Bell is not an option for me with their current coverage plans.

FAA: Teen broke rules with late-night plane flight
JASPER, Ala. (AP) — Federal authorities said Thursday a student pilot wasn't following regulations when he took off with two friends on a late-night flight New Year's Day that crashed in north Alabama and killed everyone aboard.
Federal Aviation Administration records show that the pilot, 17-year-old Jordan Ryan Smith of Jasper, received a student pilot certificate in February 2012. The FAA pointed to regulations that say "a student pilot may not act as pilot in command of an aircraft that is carrying a passenger."
FAA regulations also require a pilot to have a multi-engine rating to fly a twin-engine plane like the Piper PA 30 that crashed shortly after 10:30 p.m. Tuesday in a swampy, wooded area about a mile south of the Walker County Airport.
Smith's mother, Sherrie Smith, said Wednesday he was one test away from having his pilot's license. She said she talked to him by cell phone about 10 p.m. Tuesday and he said he would be in by his 11:30 p.m. curfew. She said she knew he was out with friends, but did not know they had gone to the airport.
Also killed in the crash were 17-year-old Jordan Seth Montgomery and 19-year-old Brandon Tyler Ary, both of Arley.
None of the victims owned the plane. Authorities have not released the name of the owner.
Airport manager Edwin Banks said the plane departed from the small airport about 10:30 p.m. in overcast skies and a low cloud ceiling. "It was a student pilot flying an airplane without permission, an airplane that he was not qualified to fly at night," Banks said Wednesday.
Sherrie Smith said Wednesday her son knew the owner and had a key to the plane, as well as the access code to the electronic gate providing access to the plane parking area.
Chief Deputy Sheriff James Painter said Thursday that officials from the National Transportation Safety Board were gathering pieces of the wreckage for their investigation and there was no determination yet on the cause of the crash.

Ken Boenish, the longtime president of adult programmer New Frontier Media, was tapped in August to head up Vivid Entertainment's pay TV unit, VividTV. He recently talked to Multichannel News programming editor R. Thomas Umstead about the sluggish state of the adult pay-per-view/video-on-demand business, and what content providers and distributors can do to boost revenue in the face of online competition. An edited transcript follows:
Mediacom Communications has inked a deal with TiVo to provide its next-generation TV experience that will deliver live, recorded, on-demand and Internet video to multiple screens in subscribers' homes.
Values-based video-on-demand purveyor EnLive has struck a carriage deal with cable operator Armstrong. Under the pact, financial terms of which were not disclosed, Armstrong will add EnLive to its on-demand platform on Oct. 1. The service, which offers an array of family-friendly fare across multiple genres, will be available to the MSO's nearly 240,000 subscribers in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Maryland and West Virginia for $4.99 monthly. Customers will gain unlimited access to the content.
BeIN Sport has added a third affiliate teammate, reaching a deal that will put its English- and Spanish-language sports networks before Comcast Xfinity linear and 'TV Everywhere' subscribers. As was reported by Multichannel News, Comcast joins DirecTV and Dish Network in carrying beIN Sport, which now has secured berths on the nation's three largest distributors just a week after its Aug. 15 launch.
Time Warner Cable reached a deal with Viacom to provide full-length TV episodes from six networks -- Nick, MTV, Comedy Central, BET, Spike and VH1 -- to the cable operator's TV customers over the Internet anywhere in the U.S. on their computers.
C-SPAN has launched a video-on-demand service to feature the highlights -- and perhaps the lowlights -- of the 2012 presidential election, available to nearly 50 million cable households in partnership with digital-video services provider Avail-TVN.
In Demand will offer a series of video on demand programs targeted to millions of high school students preparing for the SATs. The program, Mastering the SAT, features six half-hour shows (two math, two reading and two writing-based programs) hosted by respected and successful tutor Daniel Fischer, according to company officials. The suggested retail price of each show is $9.95, and the shows can be viewed as many times over a 24-hour basis, allowing students to follow at their own pace.

Thank Goodness Google Isn't Helping
- So you're wondering, "what's the guy doing here?" [So am I, but I'm willing to put up with it--AP] Mainly, to show you why, unlike the masses that are all jumping over each other, ready to praise Google for thumbing its nose at the US government, I'm for the the judge who was going to force Google to comply with the Bush administration.
For those of you unfamiliar with the case, there are elements of the US law enforcement (an FBI task force, especially) that is cracking down on porn on the internet. Yahoo!, MSN, and other large search engines complied with the Justice Department's request for search data. It's a running joke on the internet that they are cracking down on porn, because that's pretty much the reason a lot of people use the internet.
That, and blogging. But I digress...
Google was praised for not complying, saying that it would give away trade secrets. The judge didn't see it that way. Personally, I've wondered just what Google is hiding.
Which brings me to a story I saw today, 27 charged in child porn sting. Now, I can't say that the search information helped or not, but...isn't child pornography...porn? Uh, yeah, it is.
It's a good thing Google isn't helping.

About Clement Claiborne Clay
Clement Claiborne Clay (December 13, 1816 – January 3, 1882) was a U.S. senator (Democrat) from the state of Alabama from 1853 to 1861, and a C.S.A. senator from the Alabama from 1861 to 1863. His portrait appears on the Confederate one-dollar note (4th issue and later).
Clay was born with a strong political pedigree; he was the oldest son of Clement Comer Clay, a former senator and governor of Alabama, and was a third cousin of Henry Clay. In 1843 he was married to Virginia Tunstall, who later was known as Virginia Clay-Clopton.
Clay attended the University of Alabama at Tuscaloosa and graduated in 1834. He obtained a law degree from the University of Virginia in 1839 and was admitted to the bar in Alabama in 1840. He was a member of the Alabama State House of Representatives in 1842, 1844, and 1845. He then became a county judge in Madison County, Alabama and served from 1848 to 1850. He then ran for a seat in the United States Congress in 1850, but was not elected.
He was elected to serve in the United States Senate in a term beginning March 4, 1853, but the legislature failed to elect someone in time to fill it, so that he served from November 29, 1853 to January 21, 1861. He withdrew from the senate as Alabama seceded from the Union.
He was subsequently elected Senator in the First Confederate Congress and served from 1862 until 1864.
Clement Clay and Jacob Thompson were head of the Confederate secret agents. One of the people who worked for them was John Wilkes Booth, President Abraham Lincoln's assassin. Due to suspicions that he was involved in the assassination of Abraham Lincoln, he and his wife were imprisoned in Fortress Monroe in 1865, where they stayed for about a year.
Clement Clay died in Madison County and is interred at Maple Hill Cemetery.

Playwrights' Arena
( 08/30/2012 - 11/07/2012 )
Running Time: 90 minutes
Euripides, the most subversive of the great Greek dramatists, followed his Trojan Women just three years later by presenting an entirely alternative history of "Helen of Troy" in Helen (412 B.C.), a play now largely ignored and rarely performed. In Helen, Euripides' heroine is no wanton seductress, but rather a pious, faithful wife and a hapless victim of Olympian plots who struggles to make the best of a very bad situation. By a trick of the gods, this Helen never travels to Troy at all, but is replaced by a phantom replica on the eve of her kidnapping by Paris. The real Queen Helen is magically transported by Hermes to the isolated island of Pharos in a cloud for safekeeping, where she waits out the Trojan War in an ironic celibacy. Helen picks up the story 17 years later, as the abandoned, middle-aged queen remains stranded, ignorant of the war's outcome. As the play opens, the once-famous beauty wonders whether the gods, her husband, and the world have forgotten her forever. Needless to say, they have not, and Euripides' inventive fantasy of mistaken identities and impossible coincidences ensues.

Morgan County and Moniteau County (Missouri, USA)
Morgan & Moniteau counties U.S. Census TIGER/Line map |
Morgan and Moniteau counties, Missouri, are located in the central part of the state along the Missouri Pacific Railroad. The Mennonites settled in Piolet Grove Township, Moniteau County, and Moreau Township, Morgan County. This settlement had two Mennonite churches in the 1950s. Mt. Zion Mennonite (Mennonite Church) Church (in Morgan County) had a membership of 54 in 1955. The Bethel Mennonite (General Conference Mennonite Church) Church (in Moniteau County) had 141 members in 1955.
In October 1865 Christian Luginbühl, P. P. Lehman, Sr., and Ulrich Welty, of the Sonnenberg settlement in Wayne County, Ohio, made a trip through Missouri and Iowa to find land for a settlement. Christian Luginbühl bought a farm 8 miles (13 km) south of Tipton, Missouri. In April 1866 he, together with four other men, moved with their families from Wayne County to this new settlement. In the following decade more came from Wayne County. Most of the Polk County, Iowa, Swiss Mennonite settlement moved here in 1867-1868. Numerous families came from Rockingham County, Virginia, and various other Mennonite (MC) settlements in Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Michigan. In 1871 the church divided peacefully into the two congregations.

OCZ Technology Answers Enthusiast Demands for a Complete High-End Memory Solution

Sunnyvale, CA - October 10, 2007 - OCZ Technology Group, a worldwide leader in innovative, ultra-high performance and high reliability memory, today announced the 4GB PC2-6400 CL4 series, the latest edition to the highly-awarded OCZ Reaper HPC (Heat Pipe Conduit) product family.

Neoseeker has posted a review of the fastest RAM I have ever seen benchmarked, at least once overclocked. OCZ's Platinum DDR3 PC3-14400 (1800MHz) @ 8-8-8-27 has been relabeled to 8-8-8-24, but they reviewed it at the higher latency, and managed to get a bit of an overclock without relaxing them further. Too bad it is also the most expensive RAM I have seen as

Phoronix tried out an ASUS Blitz Extreme with a pair of OCZ's 1GB DDR3-1333
at various clock speeds. They installed Fedora 7 with the Linux 18.104.22.168 kernel, GCC 4.1, and X server 1.3 and used RAMspeed 2.5.0 to see how the performance scaled at different speeds. The RAM still comes at a premium, but it does look like you can expect to see at least some benefit to using the new DDR standard.

OCZ's FlexXLC offers a lot to overclockers. The 1150MHz out of the box speed will make sure that it isn't the memory holding back your FSB and 'ready for watercooling' design will give you some great cooling power. PC Stats managed 5-5-5-15 @ 1220 MHz, and there is probably some room left to speed it up.

I am not sure why Kingston named their new 2GB PC3-8500 DDR3 kit as ValueRam. For one thing, it costs over $400, and more importantly when Virtual-Hideout was doing their testing it performed incredibly. It looks like the comparisons between DDR2 and DDR3 are becoming much closer as DDR3 matures and DDR2 hits the ceiling in terms of speed.
