MINNESOTA, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 24, 1935 SUBSCRIPTION $1.00 Per Year J- * NEWS BRIEFS FROM AROUND OUR STATE WOLF LOSES FAST RACE WITH A CAR AT NIGHT Ada—W. C. Ripley of Ada, has an experience which he might well send in to his name sake of 'Believe It Or Not Fame' and incidentally has an extra $15 in his pocket as a result of the occurrance. Ripley was driving east of Ada at night when an animal came out of the ditch. He at first believed it to be a dog, but as his headlights play- on the animal running ahead, he discovered that it was a Wolf. As the Wolf an from one side of the road to the other, Ripley followed, with his lights turned on the fleeing animal at alltimes. After achase of possibly half a mile, during which tha oar had to be speeded up to nearly 65 miles an hour, the Wolf was struck ard killed. Ripicy leaded up his game and brought it to Ada, where he collected a bounty of $15. for the hide. BOGUS MONEY PASSED AT FESTIVAL DAYS Sanborn—Watermelon day at Sanborn was a big success—until those who took in! the money began examining some of the bills. At least fourteen fake greenbacks weredetected, with more expected to show up as the bills are Returned from the bank. Apparently passers of the bogus money felt that such occasions as watermelon days in Sanborn, Springfield and New Ulm were the best places to get rid of the bills, and a number of (fakes were reported' from each city.. To the casual observer the bills might appear to be genuine,but upon close inspection1 and and comparison with a genuine dollar bill the difference can readily be seen. The printing on both sides is much more crude with details such as fine lines, hardly discernable. i 400 MOTORISTS LOSE THEIR DRIVERS LICENSE Four hundred Minnesota motorists were penalized for serious driving offenses in the past three months by the suspension or revocation of their drivers licenses according to a highway department announcement. Loss of license followed convictions for driving while drunk, careless driving, leaving thescene of an accident, reckless driving, driving without the permission of the owner and other charges. The offending drivers lost the privilege of operating a motor car for periods ranging from 30 days to indefinite revocation. In the latter case, the license can be restored only by court action, and not sooner than one year from the date of revocation. As licenses are suspended or revoked, the names and addresses f the drivers are supplied to police departments, sheriffs and the state highway patrol, whose duty it is to see that the law against driving without a license is enforced. PTA COMMITTEES MET ON MONDAY EVENING DISCOVERS FIVE KITTENS IN QUART FRUIT JAR Chaska—Quintuplets that have it all over the famous Dionne babies in one respect are boasted ini Chaska. When Mrs. Louis Winkelman heard a mewing in her basement recently she investigated and found that' a quart fruit jar was mo longer filled with jelly but with kittens. When the little felines were extricated from the jar, it was found that there were five of them packed into the small space. They had just been born- a day or two before and were all alive. How they got into the jar and kept alive no one knows. The president of the PTA. Mrs. Dale Duo~ and all the chairmen and various commit- te s, held a discussion meeting at the home of Mrs. Charles Sei- bel on Monday evening. Plans were made for the coming years work, and in a short time the committees will be ready to publish the progams so the public will know what fs in store for them. Evsry PTA meeting will be 'worth attending. Mrs. Seibel served a delicious lunch 'following the meeting. FAREWELL PARTY Friends and neighbors gathered at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Comstock' Sundayevenino; to bid them good bye, and wish them well in their new location. They are leaving for Red Oak, Iowa. The evening was spent in visiting after which refreshments were served. ACCIDENTAL SHOOTING FIND RINGS LOST 45 YRS. AND 73 YEARS BEFORE Jordan—Elliot Varne has a sixth sense for finding lost rings. Two years ago he found a ring that his mother had lost 73 yrs., ago. Last week he found another ring that his mother had lost just 45 years ago. The find two years ago was made when Var- ner was doing some repairing on his home. The ring was discovered in the bottom of a window sill, presumably being dropped there before the house was plas tered. It was while Varner was putting in a new window that the piece was found. The ring that he found' last week was a solid gold band about a quarter of an inch wide. He found it while digging a hole out in his yard to transplant some grape vines. He was spading when something shiny attracted his eye. The ring was slightly tarnished after its 45 years in the ground and it had come apart where it was fastened together, but a few minor repairs fixed it up as good as ever. The design on the ring is plainly visible. Jimmy Tillsbury, living near Portage, was accidently shot by his brother-in law while out hunting Sunday. The men were scanding together looking over their guns when the charge went off. Jimmy received severe lacerations in the calf of his leg and was brought to the local hospital for treatment. CAR DROPS SEVEN FEET WITHOUT A SCRATCH Belle Plaine —Cars occasionally get cracked up from trivial causes, but one went over a seven or eight foot embankment at Belle Plaine without a scratch. The vehicle, a pick-up truck, had been left in gear in the rear of a lot. A five year old child got in, pressed the starter, and was off for a zig-zag ride through the orchard. The frightened child jumped out as the truck headed for the street. A deep cut made in front of the property for a new highway had a five foot retaining wall. The truck nosed dived over this embankment and landed on all fours. The driver hurried out, got in the car amd drove the car away without even a scratch on it to show the run-away. 1935 Red Cross Poster Invites Your Membership POPULAR COUPLE EXCHANGE VOWS Dorothy Cleora Kaier, youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Kater of Pine River, and Glenn R.

OLD MAP OF STATE SHOWS STRANGE FACTS Jackson—A map of Minnesota published in 1854, one of the prized possessions of Gus Swanson, ranks as one of the oldest maps of the state in existance. Well preserved for its age, the map shows that Minnesota then comprised only twenty counties. Pembina embracing territory equal to one third the present size of the entire state. At that time Minnesota territory dipped down to the junction of the Miss ouri and sioux rivers, near Sioux City, Iowa.' The Jakes now known as lake Shetec near Slayton, were called the Great Oasis. That the red man still had plen-- of territory in which to hunt and Ifight is shown by a notation, on the map: "The vast region of the prairies from Red River of the North and MiniWakan lake to about the Great Bend of the Missouri river is the great hunting and fighting ground of Kdakcotak, extreme southern part of Ramsey county, with the county extending north of Mille Lacs." Minneapolis is shown on the map as St. Anthony Falls.

Combining drama, music and romance, Grace Moore's new picture is a gift for the whole world, a thrilling evening of heart warming entertainment.

FARMERS GET BIG CHECKS- _FOR GRASS SEED SHIPME'T OVER 100,000 TO BE ADDED TO CCC ROLLS IN OCTOBER A new Civilian Conservation Corps enrollment program, effective October 1, 1935, is now in progress to replace men who dropped out prior to that date, and to increase the stregth ofthe corps above the total of 519,000 the figure reached August 31st of this year. It is expected that overlOO.OOO young men and veterans will be enrolled by the War Department in the CCC during October. The reduction in the age limit for CCC enrollees makes it possible for physically fit youths of seventeen to participate in the Emergency Conservation work, provided they come from families now on public relief rolls. At least 40,000 American youths of 17 are thus eligible for enrollment. A survey shows that 213,377 juniors were selected for enrollment during the June, July amd August expansion. Seventy five per cent of the number were 21 years old or under. The War Department records show that a total of 43,097 enrollees of the Conservation Corps left the forest camps to accept outside, employment during the three months ending August 31st, 1935. F. C. Shepard made a business trip to Staples Wednesday. The Star Chapter held its regular meeting Tuesday evening, with the largest attendance for some time. A social hour lowed the Chapter session. Baudette—Some big checks have been received by farmers for grass seed sent out at Baudette. Harold Bruber received a check for $2200 for one load of clover and timothy seed, while B. D. Webber received $1550 for his, and ArthurHolmgrem got $956. In, spite of the fact that the grass seed yield per acre in the Badette section is lower than last year, more seed will be shipped out than in 1934. Twenty carloads had been shipped last week, with about the same amount to go. The total amount received by farmers will be less than last year owing to the low prices, but the increased amount shipped out is due to bigger acreage. Miss Monica Lauritzon- and Miss Leonme Zaske, who are attending Teachers College at St. fol- Cloud, spent the week end at their parental homes. GRAFT 57 KINDS OF APPLES ON ONE TREE Red Wing— Fifty seven' apple in one—that's something to talk about. The tree is the property >of Mrs. John C. Seebach and was produced by grafting 57 varieties over a period Of several years. Some of the apples on the tree this year are as large as am' infant's head. A plate of the apples won first prize at the Minnesota state fair for Mrs. Seebach. Neighbors Buy Cows To Replace Poisoned Herd Blue Earth—Neighbors of Mrs. William Thorton, near Blue Earth, presented her with a herd of five milch cows and a purse money, after news had been received that she had lost twelve head of her cattle from corn stalk poisoning the previous day. Mrs. Thorton's cattle died suddenly on a Friday from the poisoning, and the next day a delegation of neighbors presented her with a new herd and a purse of silver to go along with it. The money was solicited from a number of nearby neighbors, with everyone chipping in to partly recompense her for the loss which she felt so keenly.

Herr Karl: Im alright, good to see you! What are you up to?
Karl: Finally Im bringing the new album, hope you like it?
Herr Karl: Thank you Karl. Really great artwork! I will give it a good play. What Ive read in the PRESS CENTER sounds fabulous. Why's that?
Karl: I really dont know. Maybe its because of you?
Herr Karl: What do you mean?
Karl: Well, the album is about my acoustic diary when I did my first sound recordings and you became my doppelgänger.
Herr Karl: Why did you do that, Karl?
Karl: Because everybody refers to our former band but nobody knows about the context of that timeframe.
Herr Karl: Okay, I understand. Thats fair enough. But Karl, please tell me: dont you want to be modern?
Karl: I went in and out of style so many times. You know, Im not a fashion designer! I dont have to come up with a new collection every season! But what do you really mean with modern?
Herr Karl: Innovative music, the new sound, the sound of the future etc
Karl: I dont know how the future will sound. But I know that music incapsulates time. I can only come up with the sound I hear, when I listen inside. Anyway, I dont think its the meaning of music being modern.
Herr Karl: I thought youre a pioneer, no? What is the meaning of music?
Karl: All culture is a conversation on many different layers and levels. Music is just one of them. You know, there was this ex-art student from Liverpool who came up with the line: Come together right now over me. And I think, thats what its all about: Bringing people together a celebration in sound.
Herr Karl: To me music is just numbers so tell me, will you replace me one day?
Karl: Dont bring this up again! No, I wont okay? We complement each other. Heres one last question: What do you think is the most beautiful sound in the world?
Herr Karl: Oh, I dont know it depends perhaps the human voice? I will think about it.
Karl: Okay. Lets go on with that later take care Herr Karl.
Herr Karl: Auf Wiedersehen.
Last wednesday an interested crowd of media people and music lovers met at Rough Trade East for an audio-visual installation and signing session concerning the UK release of Karl Bartos' album "Off the Record". With a little help by Sennheiser who sponsored the silent disco system, people could listen to the new music and watch the accompanying films done by Karl Bartos.
For "Off the Record", Karl Bartos has opened up his music archive for the very first time. He rediscovered and analysed hundreds of tapes, piles of sheet music, and years of digital media. Inspired by his acoustic diary and adding his experience as a composer and producer, he has created twelve brand new songs written and performed with masterly skill.
It took him two years to accomplish this original Bartos album: iron crystal music, vocoder newspeak, robot sounds, digital glitch, techno pop, catchy melodies, electronic avant-garde, roaring silence, futurism, and, of course, those rhythms! Rhythms of brutal minimalistic impact as found on the much-sampled Numbers recorded three decades ago and described by Mike Banks of Underground Resistance as "the secret code of electronic funk".

LAKEWOOD RANCH — A lifetime in the funeral business yields volumes of stories.
Like when Yvette Reckling started working with her grandfather at her family's upstate New York funeral home at the ripe old age of 4.
Or any number of times the two got a call in the middle of the night and trekked out into the snowy dark to pick up the deceased.
Or that time when Reckling's 12-pound prime rib shrunk to an unrecognizable mess in the oven when she was called away on Christmas Day.
"It's a 24-hours-a-day, seven-days-a-week business," Reckling said. "But it's my passion."
She pauses for second.
"Oh, my poor daughters," she said, laughing.
Reckling, along with her fiance, 35-year funeral directing veteran Jim Klausch, opened Lakewood Ranch's first funeral home July 15. Because We Care Cremation and Funeral Home Inc. is a full-service funeral home that offers every option imaginable — from the traditional service/visitation memorials to something more unorthodox such as turning a loved ones cremated remains into a diamond.
Planning for Because We Care began in February after Klausch was a cutback victim at Moss-Feaster Funeral Homes Group in Clearwater.
"I'd spent 35 years working for that company," Klausch said. "After that happened, I thought, 'Wow. What am I going to do?'"
That's when the couple decided to open their own funeral home. Reckling had worked previously for Manasota Memorial Park and Funeral Home, where she had provided services to many East County families.
"We had a lot of people ask us why there wasn't a funeral home in Lakewood Ranch," Reckling said. "There's a huge need here (for a funeral home.)"
The couple found their location off Lake Osprey Drive. The building's secluded-yet-easily-accessible location as well as ample parking made it perfect for their needs.
Reckling and Klausch applied immediately for their funeral home license and began working on the building, which includes a planning room, gathering room and chapel. Reckling chose the home's colors, while Klausch equipped it with the latest technology — including a computer program that includes a catalog of casket options.
"We don't have any caskets on-site — that makes some people uncomfortable," Klausch said. "But we can get any one of them here within 24 hours."
Because it's not affiliated with a larger corporation, Because We Care can tailor any service to meet the needs of its families, Klausch said. For example, services can be adapted to feature a loved one's favorite pastime, and the home offers special packages for veterans. It also can facilitate transfers up north and assist with florists, hotels and airlines.
"We can run rings around corporations with our service," Klausch said.
And although Reckling admits she's shed plenty of tears along with the grieving families, the job offers its own rewards.
"We're there whether it's a child who has passed or an 80-year-old mom who just lost her 60-year-old son," Reckling said. "Or when it's a couple who has been married for 67 years and you know that a huge piece of them just got ripped apart.
"I love being able to help a family in the worst time of their lives — to be able to be with them and get them through it," she said. "It's hard, but it's so fulfilling. When you get that hug afterward — that's the best."
Eventually, Reckling and Klausch hope to find land farther east and relocate the business to a freestanding building. But for now, they're excited to begin offering their services in the East County.
"Lakewood Ranch is a homey place — they want to be one within themselves," Reckling said. "When there's a death, no family wants to get in a car and drive 12 miles to the closest funeral home.
"We want to make their lives easier — and their deaths easier," she said. "It's all about the families. To me, we're not in the funeral business, we're in funeral service."
Contact Michael Eng at firstname.lastname@example.com.
WHAT: Because We Care will host an open house to give families a chance to tour the funeral home and meet its owners.
WHEN: 1-5 p.m., Aug. 2
WHERE: 6286 Lake Osprey Drive, Lakewood Ranch

Toby and the Secrets of the Tree by Timothee de Fombelle – A Book Review
Posted in Book Reviews on 08/02/2010 04:00 pm by ali_mareaToby's world is under greater threat than ever before. A giant crater has been dug right into the center of the Tree, moss and lichen have invaded the branches, and one tyrant controls it all. Leo Blue, once Toby's best friend, is holding Toby's beloved Elisha prisoner, hunting the Grass People with merciless force, and inflicting a life of poverty and fear on the Tree People. But after several years among the Grass People, Toby has returned to fight back. And this time he's not alone: a resistance is forming. In the much-anticipated sequel to the award-winningToby Alone, the compelling eco-adventure reaches its gripping conclusion.
Timothée de Fombelle is a much-admired French playwright. His first novel, Toby Alone, has been translated in twenty-two languages and has won numerous prizes.
François Place has illustrated many books and is also a renowned author in his native France.
Sarah Ardizzone won the Marsh Award for Children's Literature in Translation forToby Alone. She lives in London.
When I first saw the description of "Toby and the Secrets of the Tree" by Timothee de Fombelle, I was intrigued. Based purely on the book-cover, it looked like a children's book. When I noticed the length, I realized it must be young-adult (YA) as it was too long to be a simple chapter-book. Being a fan of the occasional YA series, I decided to give it a try. One of the things that made it unique among the other YA books I've read recently is the fact that the author is French. So of course the book was written in French and the one I received (from Library Thing's Early Reviewer program) was in English, translated by Sarah Ardizzone.
My overall impression of the book was positive. I enjoyed the story and I was drawn in to the characters once I really got going. However, I did have some difficulty getting 'into' the book, initially. My largest obstacle was the lack of context. Since this book is the second in a series, I will give the benefit of the doubt in assuming that I could have easily followed along had I read the first book. (Toby Alone) Since I was starting the series from book two, however, I was a little lost at first.
The beginning of the book seems to have little to do with the rest, not really setting the scene or getting you involved in the main characters for quite a while. The first character you are introduced to is inconsequential and forgettable. A while later when you meet Elisha, you don't really have any clue who she is or why she's held prisoner, or why she's in an egg, for that matter. I think part of my confusion also came from wondering just 'what' these people (?) were.
My only source of comparison comes from Brian Jacques books, where animals go on adventures and have their own little world. (although humans don't appear to exist in his universe) But with those books I always got a brief introduction to the universe and characters who inhabited it.
Another issue I had was the slowness of the beginning of the book. Nothing seemed to really happen for quite a while. There were descriptions of the scenery and some action, but nothing seemed to progress for the first quarter of the book or so.
So those were my stumbling blocks.
Once I got past the first portion of the book, however, the story started to take off. I became more acquainted with the characters and finally figured out that the people of the Tree were more or less tiny humans. While the lack of background story remained confusing throughout the book, the characters were compelling enough that I was able to settle in and immerse myself in the world of the Tree.
As a YA book, this novel does a good job at being imaginative enough and adult enough to be inviting. I didn't find any condescension or dumbing down as I often find in other young-adult novels, so that was a major positive. I would happily give this to my children when they hit their pre-teens, although I would highly recommend that they read "Toby Alone" first.
Overall, Toby and the Secrets of the Tree (I really don't get the point of that title, by the way.) was a good book, enjoyable, and a change of pace for me. I would recommend it to others, with the caveat that it would be good to start with the first book if they want a better understanding of the strange world and its inhabitants.
Sarah Ardizzone did a wonderful job in translation. There were no awkward points in the book due to language barriers and such. I might have to get the book in French sometime to see if I notice any difference, but I'm not really up to the challenge at the moment. (not to mention that my French is more than a little rusty)
I'd commend this book to anyone who enjoys those of Brian Jacques, or even lovers of Antoine de Saint-Exupery's "Le Petit Prince".
Overall, I'd give the book three and a half stars.
~3.5 stars out of 5~

Busting Vegas Audio Book Ben Mezrich
This is the riveting and entertaining story of "the MIT whiz kid who brought the casinos to their knees" read by the author of the best selling book. "Busting Vegas" is the sequel to Ben Mezrich's first bestseller "Bringing Down The House" which was made into several documentaries and the major motion picture "21." In many ways this second story is much better and more interesting than the first.
The audio CDs describe the story of Semyon Dukach who was known as the darling of Las Vegas. A legend at twenty-one, the cocky hotshot was the biggest high roller to appear in Sin City in decades, a mathematical genius with a system the casinos had never seen before and couldn't stop -- a system that had nothing to do with card counting, wasn't illegal, and was more powerful than anything that had been tried before.
Dukach and his fellow MIT students hit them all and made millions. They came in hard, with stacks of cash; big, seemingly insane bets; women hanging on their arms; and fake identities. While they were taking classes and studying for exams during the week, over the weekends they stormed the blackjack tables, only to be banned from casinos, harassed, on the wrong end of guns, and beaten in the notorious back rooms of casinos.
The stakes were high, the dangers very real, but the players were up to the challenges, the consequences be damned. In the classroom, they were geeks. On the casino floor, they were unstoppable. Busting Vega$ is Dukach's unbelievably true story; a riveting account of monumental greed, excess, hubris, sex, love, violence, fear, and statistics that is high-stakes entertainment at its best.
Released by Harper Collins in 2005. Includes five CDs with six hours of audio and an interview with Ben Mexrich.

Soooooo are you a fan, or no?? I'm confused...
And I have never heard of this chick either.
What a fabulous transformation...do you know who her surgeon is?
Who lit the fuse on your tampon?
I can't tell what she had done other than a nose job, enlarging upper lips, eyebrows fixed and colored contacts. Whatever it was it was significant. She's pretty and even before photoshop her skin looks pretty good. The photoshop adjustments are a lot though, making her face look different- iris of eyes bigger, changing eye color, other stuff to face/nose I can't pinpoint.
Her face looks fuller too, like she had cheek implants...

Never heard of her. TL; DR.

― Dr. Seuss
never heard of her either,but she looks much better now. I hope she stops though because she is treading the line now to go overboard.
It'd be better if you hadn't posted so many photos of her and they all hadn't been photoshoped to the point of extinction.
I don't care what work she had done, it was worth it. She's stunning.

- You can search for an exact match, a similar match or a name that starts with a specific letters (e.g. Ja) by selecting the option from the drop down box.
- When searching for a place you can add up to five names. You don't need to separate them with a comma.
- Add up to five names of any siblings or the parents to get more accurate matches.

1881 Scottish census.
The census was taken on the night of the 3rd April 1881.
- Generally women were recorded using their married names. However, if you can't find someone then it might be worth searching for them using her married name.
- If a person is missing, it might be that they were simply not at home the night the census was taken.
- Some families changed their names after moving from the Highlands to the Lowlands so bear this in mind when searching the census.
- A woman may well return home for the birth of her first child. Make sure you take a look at the birthplace as it could be an indication of where her parents were living at the time.
- Take a look at the other inhabitants on the night of the census. There could be other family members staying which could give you vital clues as to other surnames within the family.
- Use the details of both parents to try and find their marriage details. This will help you to go another step back in your search.

How was your Explore Tour Leader?
Ho Chi Hung was the ideal leader: focussed throughout and always thinking ahead, he was always open and honest. Talking about the history of Vietnam he tried to give an unbiased account and he gave us the background to each place we visited. He was friendly without being familiar and it was always clear that he was in charge. We felt that he could handle anything that was thrown at him.
What tips would you give to someone else booking this tour?
Try to book your own flights. The return travel was awful. From the time we got up in the morning to the time we arrived back home, we had been up for 37 hours and it took me a week to recover.
Do you have anything else to add?
I have cycled all over the world on my own. I am glad, however, that I joined a group to cycle Vietnam as it is a country with its own problems for cyclists, particularly accommodation. I was a bit concerned at the density and the wildness of the mopeds on the roads. I do think that we were lucky not to have an accident although we had a few near misses.

I wanted my first-year film students to understand what happens to a story when actual human beings inhabit your characters, and the way they can inspire storytelling. And I wanted to teach them how to look at headshots and what you might be able to tell from a headshot. So for the past few years I've done a small experiment with them.
Some troubling shit always occurs.It works like this: I bring in my giant file of head shots, which include actors of all races, sizes, shapes, ages, and experience levels. Each student picks a head shot from the stack and gets a few minutes to sit with the person's face and then make up a little story about them.
Namely, for white men, they have no trouble coming up with an entire history, job, role, genre, time, place, and costume. They will often identify him without prompting as "the main character." The only exception? "He would play the gay guy." For white women, they mostly do not come up with a job (even though it was specifically asked for), and they will identify her by her relationships. "She would play the mom/wife/love interest/best friend." I've heard "She would play the slut" or "She would play the hot girl." A lot more than once.
For nonwhite men, it can be equally depressing. "He's in a buddy cop movie, but he's not the main guy, he's the partner." "He'd play a terrorist." "He'd play a drug dealer." "A thug." "A hustler." "Homeless guy." One Asian actor was promoted to "villain."
For nonwhite women (grab onto something sturdy, like a big glass of strong liquor), sometimes they are "lucky" enough to be classified as the girlfriend/love interest/mom, but I have also heard things like "Well, she'd be in a romantic comedy, but as the friend, you know?" "Maid." "Prostitute." "Drug addict."
I should point out that the responses are similar whether the group is all or mostly-white or extremely racially mixed, and all the groups I've tried this with have been about equally balanced between men and women, though individual responses vary. Women do a little better with women, and people of color do a little better with people of color, but female students sometimes forget to come up with a job for female actors and black male students sometimes tell the class that their black male actor wouldn't be the main guy.
Once the students have made their pitches, we interrogate their opinions. "You seem really sure that he's not the main character – why? What made you automatically say that?" "You said she was a mom. Was she born a mom, or did she maybe do something else with her life before her magic womb opened up and gave her an identity? Who is she as a person?" In the case of the "thug", it turns out that the student was just reading off his film resume. This brilliant African American actor who regularly brings houses down doing Shakespeare on the stage and more than once made me weep at the beauty and subtlety of his performances, had a list of film credits that just said "Thug #4." "Gang member." "Muscle." Because that's the film work he can get. Because it puts food on his table.
So, the first time I did this exercise, I didn't know that it would turn into a lesson on racism, sexism, and every other kind of -ism. I thought it was just about casting. But now I know that casting is never just about casting, and this day is a real teachable opportunity. Because if we do this right, we get to the really awkward silence, where the (now mortified) students try to sink into their chairs. Because, hey, most of them are proud Obama voters! They have been raised by feminist moms! They don't want to be or see themselves as being racist or sexist. But their own racism and sexism is running amok in the room, and it's awkward.
This for every time someone criticizes how characters of color and female characters of color especially are treated in text and by subsequent fandoms. It's never "just a television/movie/book". It's never been "just".

So...about that game on Saturday
The Gators had 11 offensive drives. Two ended in end of half/game. And one ended because they dropped too many wide open passes. That leaves two drives where we held them scoreless, plus one commendable performance where we held them to only a field goal following a turnover.
Therefore my question is simply this....
If the entire defensive coaching staff had gone to Bermuda for two weeks and simply met the team at the stadium, what would have been different about our game plan or execution? Seriously.
If that question is too inflammatory for someone to ask Coach Richt, then my question would be...why did Arkansas and Mississippi State have a better game plan defensively than we did? They have far less defensive talent on their respective teams than Georgia does, and they each had half as much time to prepare.
That's where I come down on this performance.
After the game listening to the 750am call-in show with Jeff Danztler, Mike Cavan and I think David Greene, they kept saying that someone needs to grab this program by the ears and drive it forward. They made it sound like a player needed to do it. Like there's a player leadership void.
Maybe it is player leadership at the root cause. Two of those guys know more about lockerroom dynamics than I'll ever know. But from where I'm sitting, the person that needs to grab the program by the ears is Mark Richt.

He can't do it. That should be apparent to everyone by now.

Coach Richt seems to be in total denial.
Instead of calling a spade a spade and admitting the entire coaching staff has become complacent and outclassed, he spends his press conference time saying he has no regrets about the decision to bring out high-school uniforms for the game.
From a fan's view, it seems like total and complete apathy. I'm really worried about him, but much more worried about the program. - 11/01/2009 6:23 PM

Players cannot lead a team when they have no faith in the ADULTS leading them.
The players clearly know that they are not being coached to their full potential, but how does an 18 year old kid question a man who is/was a near deity in the state?
The uniform thing pretty much sums it up. The players were not into it and I have not heard from one fan who was into it. It was a joke. I imagine that half of the kids on the team would have vetoed the uniform change had they had a vote.
Van Hallanger's act is stale. Coach Garner's schtick is stale. I am not sure that Fabris could ever actually coach. Martinez is clearly over his head. He is a GREAT position coach, but he does not have the talent to lead the entire defense. Mike Bobo was not ready to be an OC.
Have any of these guys ever been approached by other programs? I really, really wish that Fabris had remained in Oklahoma. Being Brian McClendon back was nice, but we have got to have some fresh ideas.
I continue to go back to the first game of the season, when our WR coach and OC had no idea who had actually played in the game.
Maybe the coaches are just lazy. It is great that CMR and company are such family oriented guys, but our competitors are football-heads. They stay at the office all day, every day.
CMR needs to seriously figure out what he wants to do. If we lose to Gtu, there will being to be calls for his head.
Very depressing. - 11/01/2009 6:25 PM

The uniforms were a gimmick. And when the team comes out and performs poorly, it makes all of us look silly. It is going to take more than fancy uniforms to improve our play. The way I see it:
Black Jerseys & Grambling Knock Offs = Lose 50%.
The coaches need to lead this team. And quite frankly, they are not.
I have always supported CMR, but here lately, I don't see any fire in the belly. We don't need fancy unis to fire our guys up... how about pictures of that prick Urban Myer calling TO's on us last year? How about Lane Kiffin saying we will never win against UT as long as he is there? Go out there and want it more than the other guys! Hit 'em in the mouth! GATA! Geez... - 11/01/2009 6:32 PM

Changes need to be made and will be made. I suspect that a lot of the coach loyalty stems from Richt being around Bowden for so long. The difference is that (at least years ago) Bowden's assistants were the best around. Heck Bowden finally even fired his own SON! (The FSU offense has not been the problem this year) and Andrews is retiring.
Loyalty is an admirable quality. However, loyalty over performance is not acceptable. Heck, my brother once fired me because I was not doing a good enough job in the family business--he was right to do so as I was not.
As for the uniforms. Bad idea. However, I would like to see the red pants one day. - 11/01/2009 6:35 PM

Gruden? Please. Is there ANY evidence that he would be a good college coach? Aside from Pete Carroll name a former pro coach that has done well as a college coach?
Also, I suspect that Gruden, even if he were successful at the college level, would bolt for the NFL at the first chance. I like stability in a program like UGA. Mid-level teams can change coaches every few years and keep on motoring (Boise). A major program cannot.
I am still behind Richt. He has learned in the past from his errors. I think he is smart enough to make the changes that need to be made. - 11/01/2009 6:41 PM
- Paul Westerdawg said...
And by the way....
Gruden is only about 2.5 years younger than Richt. - 11/01/2009 6:44 PM
- Anonymous said...
It is time for a change at Georgia. We are in the bottom tier of the SEC. No better off then with Donnan and Goff.
When Richt says that the program is in good shape, he is out of touch.
When you pay someone 2 million dollars a year, he has to produce.

Oh, and another thing, is anyone else as sick and tired as I am of hearing the players talking about "watching film?"
That is apparently the new catchphrase that the guys use to give the media a quote that makes it look like they are actually working hard.
I cannot believe that anyone on our defense has watched one, single frame of tape this year. That includes coaches and players.
There is a method to how to watch film so that you know what to expect on gameday. Sometimes you can break it down to opposing players' weaknesses as well.
Oh, and by the way, you do not just watch film of the game before. You get several years worth of film. I would take a look at Scu's defense in the early 2000's, for instance, to prepare for Charlie Strong's defense.
Perhaps we could have watched some film of USC in 2004-05, or the Raiders from 2 years ago when preparing for Ufk. Then, maybe Ufk would not have been doing so many things that we "had not seen on film." - 11/01/2009 6:57 PM

Pete Carroll D is awful 600 plus to the ducks? Gave up 500 yds last 4 games! He is the D cord. Go get Kirby or Muschamp. I have been a dawg fan for 30 yrs and lived in Jacksonville the last 35. I have seen this game cycle back and forth however...I have not seen seperation like this since the Goff era between us and UF! I am tired of this annual beat down and honestly It pains me to say this but our coaches are so out of touch with scheme its embarresing! WM needs to call the movers and apply as a pixe dust spreader and take his circus eleswhere! We need to get off the wallet and hire a relevant DC and someone who is repected and can recruit!

We're circling the drain, it's just a matter of how honest our AD and fans are going to be about the situation. Since Richt was hired, everyone of our rivals has upgraded its coaching staff (with the exception of Auburn). He is not as good of a coach as we thought he was and he made hay when the conference was down.
Unfortunately, I think it's going to get a lot worse. Richt can change the staff around him, but as we've seen with Fulmer and Bobby Bowden, the culture doesn't really change. Richt does not have the fire to win that Urban does or Saban does. He tolerates mediocrity and thus encourages it.
Richt has built up so much good will with the Bible beaters that it is going to have to be an absolute dumpster fire before anything is done. He will leave the program in worse shape than he got it. - 11/01/2009 7:32 PM

Jon Gruden? Really? He has like 2 years of college coaching experience.
If you're going to hitch your wagon to a coaching change, why do it with someone who hasn't coached in college in 20 years?

all of those guys seem like decent options, but i dont think you can knock jon gruden for coaching in the nfl, not in college.. i know that down here in the south we care more about college football, but it doesnt change the fact that the nfl is better football.. i find that to be a dumb comment..
90% of every HS recruit wants to eventually play in the pro's, the best recruits look at colleges and coaches and chose to play for proven winners, and programs that put players in the NFL..
Gruden is a SUPERBOWL WINNER, he knows his x's and o's... he is a very personable guy who could recruit his ass off..
the one drawback that sam mentioned earlier is that he may be one to bolt when the nfl comes calling again...
but btw SAM.. boise st doesnt constantly change coaches.. name more than 2 coaches who you know have coached there.. - 11/01/2009 7:50 PM

Any chance we ask Tech to swap conference's with us? CMR might better dominate if he's back in the ACC.

The "you are literally too dumb to insult" line gives you away. Posting under multiple user names is a weak move.
And if you think firing Richt right now is the right call, you are the dumb one.
- Jon Gruden '10 said...
ANON 8 pm
your a better man than me, i didnt know nutt coached there. Im only 24 tho.
PWD- that line is from the most popular movie of the year "the hangover"
so i dont know who else used it, but its my first time..
and read my comments, the only way i am for richt getting fired this year is if we can hire jon gruden, In my opinion he would get something special started here he would be one of those big impact hires, you know the nick saban, urban meyer or even lane kiffin types..
even if you dont believe he should be fired yet, you should at least realize that his seat should be hot..
...If not then you are doing the same thing for him that he is doing for his coaches, oh you like the guy, so lets not be too harsh when judging him...
we are constantly getting top 10 recruiting classes, WE HAVE TALENT..
it would be different if we were missippi state and richt was doing the best with what he has to work with..
but like i said, WE DO HAVE THE TALENT, which means that richt isnt doing the best with what he has to work with, he is underachieving and thats not acceptable.
we are no longer even close to winning big games.. Im no longer hoping we win a game, i find myself hoping we dont get blown out.

Jon Gruden '10,
ANON 7:20 be me. I was hoping you would get the "anonymous" dig, which you did, albeit defensively. Calm thyself? All this hate/fight comment-crap has gotten old.
We're all dawgs to the death, right? - 11/01/2009 8:37 PM
- Jon Gruden '10 said...
thank you for being honest andy, haha, yes you are right, we are all dawgs here, the hate/fight stuff is a little old,
and while i did get a little defensive, probably not as much as you think, the "your literally too dumb to insult" line was supposed to be a funny one, i use it on my mother when she calls me with some useless information about how her new puppy barked in a funny way today.
and i bet your name isnt andy, its probably carlos - 11/01/2009 8:50 PM

I'm not defending the staff, but you are way off on talent. Just b/c rivals etc say we arr top 10, don't make it so (go search Jasper Sanks & Jabari Davis).
Outside Curran & Owens, our current D would be back ups on every single unit for the past 10 yrs. We have gotten sloppy or lazy on evaluation.
Not trying to sound like an old man, but i've seen more "top" players fail to pan out than I can remember - 11/01/2009 8:55 PM

It really is Andy. Actually, no, it's David, but my everyone before me is a David, so I go by Andy due to my middle name. We're all Dawgs, yes indeed, and I'm not fighting you or anyone else. We're all frustrated over the same things, and here we are.
- Jon Gruden '10 said...
anon 8:55
you are right that not every recruit pans out.. but when the majority of them are not panning out then its a problem.. I dont think its a evaluation problem, i think that these guys are studs who have come here and havent been coached up and developed properly..
i dont see why 85% of USC/fla/texas recruiting classes always pan out and ours do not, remember top 10 classes mean that we are getting players that EVERYONE wants..
once these studs get on campus we need to coach them up and develop them better.. - 11/01/2009 9:03 PM

The line was used by a douche last week. Sorry. I forgot that line from the movie. Only seen it once.
BTW -- I don't have any problem saying Richt has issues. That doesn't mean I want to fire him.
Tommy Tuberville was a disaster in 2003. He went and fixed his coaching staff that off season and went 13-0 in 2004.
He would've been fine except that the next time his staff needed fixing he hired Tony Franklin.
Richt needs to fix his staff. If he does it right, we'll have a huge next 3-5 years until those guys get hired elsewhere for bigger gigs.
If he doesn't, then we'll deal with that.
- Muckbeast said...
You hit on it PWD. Every 3-5 years you basically have to accept that you will have a new staff.
If your position coaches, OC, and DC are not getting hired away every few years to move up somewhere else, then the people you have suck.
The idea of having a huge staff that never leaves is absurd. The only way to accomplish that is to have people too mediocre for anyone else to want. - 11/01/2009 9:50 PM
- Dubbayoo said...
At this time I would like to retract my earlier statement about Joe Cox being a more than serviceable QB. He looks especially bad coming after arguably the greatest QB in UGA history. He may be as good as any we've had not named Tarkenton, Stafford or Greene...or Shockley.....or Zeier...or Goff...or Bobo...or Carter...or Belue. Well, I guess he's better than Joe T.
- Anonymous said...
In fairness to you guys- LSU and Arkie were two games Tebow probably shouldn't have played in, and MSU had the advantage of Dan Mullen at head coach- heck I know its not much of a mitigator but defensively this was probably the least yards Florida racked up since UT or LSU (MSU and Arkie had tons of Red Zone stops some defensively and some self-inflicted mistakes by Florida).
- Anonymous said...
Can I just say how much I hope you guys bring in Gruden- seriously, as a Florida fan that would be awesome (as long as Richt doesn't take over in Tallahassee)- with the exception of Carroll basically every NFL coach to take over a college team has been a failure- the offenses are overly complex and the defenses are generally not well suited to stopping non-pro sets (for all the hype about Monte Kiffin at UT- John Chavis had years just as good and judging by his first year @ LSU is pretty much the same as Monte).
- John From Texas said...
Hate to say it, but knowing Richt and his staff a little bit more intimately than the average fan, I think he will go into a hear-no-evil, bunker mentality.
I think he's somewhat convinced himself that this season is an abberation, a combo of a rough schedule and lack of enough playmakers on offense (QB, RB and another WR to compliment Green). If there are gonna be changes in the staff, likely Damon is the one who will have to pressure Richt into making them.
IMO, screw Murray's redshirt, play a lot of the youngsters and prepare for 2010. - 11/02/2009 12:15 AM

I thought Joe Cox was the team's unquestioned leader....

Taylor, he is...but that's not a good thing.

I'm surprised that Gruden just signed a contract extension with ESPN, because I thin most people predicted he would be headed back to the sidelines next year.

Get creative with your alternative formats
What connects AltFormats, Moodle and Blackburn?
Gone are the days when Alternative Format meant receiving badly photocopied documents, and dozens of poor quality audio tapes. Things have moved on and the innovative ways that people are adopting, using and sharing alternative formats means that information can now be accessible to EVERYONE, including people with visual and print impairments, dyslexia, basic skills needs and people learning English as an additional language. Thanks to alternative format creation tools such as Dolphin EasyConverter, Dolphin EasyProducer and Dolphin Publisher, receiving timely high quality DAISY, large print, MP3 and Braille information is now a reality!
Read on to find out how organizations around the world are working with Dolphin to deliver new levels of accessibility for our visually impaired, print impaired, dyslexic and learning disabled customers.
Altformats in Education
Schools and colleges are converting their marketing and communication materials into altformats. This includes college prospectuses, letters to staff, students and parents, inspection reports and strategic plans.
To provide an accessible education to students with very specific accessibility needs, schools and colleges are using EasyConverter to create customized DAISY, MP3, large print and Braille formats of textbooks and other course materials.
Teachers are also finding new and innovative ways to teach students, such as putting lesson plans on Interactive Whiteboards in DAISY format.
Did you know... education establishments are making learning materials in MP3, DAISY and other formats available to ALL students, via their Virtual Learning Environments. Why not let everyone enjoy the amazing learning benefits of synchronized audio and text downloaded direct off your Moodle, Blackboard or other VLE?
Altformats are also being utilized effectively by educational staff. Human Resource departments in school's, colleges and universities are converting their recruiting, induction and training materials into accessible formats.
By following the examples others are setting, you can utilize Dolphin's altformat tools in an educational sphere to provide an accessible education for all, regardless of disability.
Did you know... that schools are converting play scripts into accessible MP3 formats? This is allowing visually impaired students to take the leading role in productions and nurture their talents, providing them with the same opportunities as every other student.
Altformats in Commercial Organisation
The Disability Discrimination Act in the UK and Section 508 in the US legally obliges all organisations to provide accessible materials to visually impaired and learning disabled stakeholders; including customers, employees and investors alike.
But rather than getting bogged down by legislation, companies are using the law as creative inspiration to convert corporate brochures, product information, into alternative Braille and large print formats.
Internally, companies are providing equal opportunities to all employees, converting recruitment materials, induction and training resources, minutes from meetings held and quarterly newsletters and other communications into alternative formats.
Did you know...
- Football supporters at Blackburn Rovers football club can receive their match day programs in an alternative MP3 format?
- Insurance companies are distributing policy documents as DAISY with a Tied-EasyReader for their visually impaired and Dyslexic clients?
- Talking newspaper groups are creating regular MP3 alternative formats of local papers, allowing people with visual impairments to find out about the news in their local area at their leisure?
Altformats in Public Authorities
Public Authorities, are obligated to provide accessible information under the Disability Equality Duty.
Public Authorities are using Dolphin's Altformat tools to provide alternative formats of their communications. This includes providing large print, DAISY and Braille copies of informative flyers, pamphlets, and letters sent to people in their local community.
Did you know... that Health Authorities communications are more effective in Altformats? "One PCT (Primary Care Trust) area increased uptake of flu jabs from 30% to 65% just by using font size 18pt for [distributed] information..."
Department of Health, Single Equality Scheme (Source: UK Health Informatics Today, Autumn 2007)
Be creative
With such a variety of information available, there is no end to the possibilities of what you can create into an alternative format.
If you have an interesting story to tell regarding how you use your Dolphin software, write in to email@example.com today and see if you can inspire someone else to have a go!

Faith Hill's first album of original material in over six years will bridge her musical roots, gospel soul, with her country inclinations, the singer said in a recent interview.
"I came from the church; I'm a soul singer. I've tried for so many years to mesh the two worlds together. My love of country music has been my backbone; I was raised with country music," Hill told TheBoot.com.
"But I'm a soul singer, so to bring those two worlds together in a way that's authentic and that is true — to me, that's the most important thing. I want my music to be truthful. I feel like I've accomplished that," she added.
Hill released "Come Home," the Ryan Tedder (OneRepublic) written tune last year. More recently she previewed "Illusion" last weekend at CMA Music Fest.
