During 2011 and 2012, the Energy Institute of the University of Texas at Austin conducted a study that led to the preparation and release of a report entitled, "Fact-Based Regulation for Environmental Protection in Shale Gas Development." The tendency to ignore the caveats of the white papers regarding potential environmental and public health impacts of shale gas hydraulic fracturing characterizing the draft summary of findings was intensified in the media effort launched by the Energy Institute to disseminate the study. The media brochure was replete with overstated "leads" such as "Scientific investigation into groundwater contamination and other environmental impacts", "Separating fact from fiction in shale gas development", "Assessing the real and perceived consequences of shale gas development". The media releases of the Energy Institute were similarly unsuitably qualified "New study shows no evidence of groundwater contamination from hydraulic fracturing".
The basic message of the media campaign, at least as portrayed by the media who reported on it, seemed to be, "This study has demonstrated that there is no evidence that shale gas hydraulic fracturing damages the environment or threatens public health." The Summary of Findings fails to reflect accurately the magnitude of concerns and caveats contained in the white papers drafted by the Senior Contributors. It uses statements such as "there is no evidence" to counter public concerns, when, in fact, the white papers themselves stressed quite the opposite viewpoint that the absence of adequate scientific research and data demanded serious consideration and that regulation would be needed to address concerns over hydraulic fracturing's impact on public health and the environment,
The UT report's principal investigator, Charles "Chip" Groat, failed to disclose in his report bio or in his presentations on the report that he is a board member of Plains Exploration and Production (PXP), an oil and gas company that is heavily involved in fracking. Groat earned more than double his University of Texas salary as a PXP board member in 2011 - $413,900 as opposed to $173,273 - and he has amassed over $1.6 million in stock during his tenure there. Due to the above revelations, the UT commissioned a review of the above report. Their recommendations included: R-1. "The University of Texas should adopt and implement rigorous policies governing conflict of interest, conflict of commitment, and financial and relationship disclosure for all university personnel that publish . R-4. The UT Energy Institute should develop and implement a rigorous quality control framework for all public relations and media activities, with strong oversight responsibility and accountability for the accuracy of such releases ...R-6. Because of the inadequacy of project definition, management and review of the current project on shale gas fracturing and the damage to the credibility of the project caused by inadequate disclosure of potential conflict of interest on the part of the Principal Investigator, the publication resulting from Energy Institute's project on shale gas fracturing should be withdrawn from the Institute's website and the document "Separating Fact from Fiction in Shale Gas Development," given its basis in the above, should not be further distributed at this time."
After receipt of this report, Doctor Groat retired. The Director of the UT Energy Institute resigned. In another case, SUNY (State University of New York) Buffalo closed the Shale Resources and Society Institute (SRSI). A letter from SUNY Buffalo President Satish K. Tripathi said "The May 15, 2012 report...led to allegations questioning whether historical financial interests influenced the authors' conclusions. The fundamental source of controversy revolves around clarity and substantiation of conclusions." All of the co-authors of this paper had direct ties to the oil and gas industry, as did four out of five of its peer reviewers.

Irene has passed Washington, D.C., which is as far west of New York as it is south, and therefore only ever saw the storm's liminal rain and winds. (This was enough to cause blackouts for millions of homes in the suburbs–including Steven Hayward's–but so far as I can tell, proper D.C. never once lost electricity. It must have been the President's slick subterranean hurricane command center, its electronic eye draping itself like a warm blanket over our vulnerable selves.)
Newspaper page-one headliners were the worst hit.
On the storm's approach, the ailing Washington Monument stood stoutly. Like Cortéz. (Staring at the Atlantic and his men with a wild surmise, waiting to learn from Kanye West whether George Bush doesn't care about conquistadors, either.)
The scene in the residential neighborhood of Dupont Circle.
The fancy farmers market this morn was not cancelled. I also learned that the farmers market accepts food stamps, which is nice.
And several trees lay down their lives.
All in all, it wasn't bad, here in D.C.

Name: Pablo
Gender: Male
Age: 34
Location: Madrid
Can you help me I have an addiction towards masturbation. I can't control the urge that I have. I'm single and have never been with a woman. I'm very nervous about this. How can I control these sexual urges? Please write back as soon as you can.
Pablo, darling, what's the big problem with jerkin' off…even jerkin' off a lot? Perhaps you're creating a predicament where there doesn't need to be one. Maybe you just need to relax and enjoy your self-pleasuring.
First off, I want to restate my belief that there's no such thing as a masturbation addict. Compulsive hand jobs? Sure! Out of control wackin' off? Ya betcha! Self-denigrating pud-pulling? Absolutely! Masturbation addiction? No way!
Masturbation is normal, particularly for someone like you who is not involved with someone else. Of course masturbation is also a big part of the sex life of people in relationships too.
Say, where are you getting the information that self-love is a bad thing? Is this message coming from the Church perhaps? I wouldn't be a bit surprised if it were. Masturbation can sure enough be a problem, if you've been indoctrinated to think it is bad or sinful. But then again, the problem is the sex-negative propaganda, not the masturbation itself.
I'd be willing to guess a guy of your age, without a wife or lover has all kinds of repressive feelings about sex in general, not just masturbation in particular. Maybe it's your religious up bringing that is coloring your judgment about your private sexuality. Perhaps if you took the opportunity to rethink your training, you wouldn't be so hard on yourself.
Since you don't go into any detail about the extent of your behavior, I guess I'll just have to make some general comments. Like I said masturbation, or any behavior for that matter, can become compulsive. If the urge to choke the chicken gets in the way of you having a full rich life, you may have a problem. Say you're jerkin' off so much that you don't having a social life. Or you're pullin' your pud so much that you can't hold down a job. Then that's a problem. But I hasten to add the problem is not masturbation, per se, it's the being out of control that's the problem. Just like if someone told me they were jogging so much they had no time for a social life or for a job, then that person has a problem. But it's not the jogging, per se. Ya get it?
There are lots of reasons why people feel uncomfortable about their sexual desires and behaviors. Most all of us grow up in a very sex- negative environment. Parents still punish their kids if they catch them playing with themselves. The Church still insists that any sexual expression outside of marriage is sinful. So many people are so judgmental about the sexual behaviors of others, particularly if the expression is one they themselves don't practice. Others can be so cruel, using terms like slut, whore, and promiscuous when talking about someone who is getting more sex than they. In other words, it's our culture's unhealthy preoccupation with sex that is often the cause of one's fear and mistrust of his own sexual desires and practices.
You don't have to settle for this, Pablo. You can learn to free yourself from the repressive messages that may surround you. You may find the help you need on the internet, don't cha know. There are many online communities that celebrate self-loving. Do a search using the words: healthy masturbation.
One thing for sure, if you feel bad about jerkin' off, you're probably also fearful of partnered sex. I mean it wasn't lost on me that you're 34 and still a virgin. Holy Cow! Maybe if you liberated yourself from your repressive attitudes toward masturbation, partnered sex would take its rightful place in your life. It's never too late for this to happen, Pablo.
Some people use masturbation as a means of self-abuse. I guess it's no accident that self-abuse is a term some sex-negative people use when talking about masturbation. If you don't like yourself very much, Pablo, for whatever reason, you could be using your private sex to punish and denigrate yourself. This is the ultimate perversion — turning something good and healthy into something hurtful and hateful.
Are you concentrating so much time and energy on your cock to avoid other problems in your life? Maybe if you confronted these other problems, whatever they might be, head on, you'd feel better about yourself. And your solitary sexual practices wouldn't loom so large. The problem is, because you feel bad about what you're doing, you're actually adding more stress in your life, making it harder for you to get a hold of this, no pun intended.
Good luck!

Session 3 is a wrap at Windells and it was a blast! This week, we thought we would take the analytical approach, and instead of explaining how much fun the session was, we should show hard evidence of its awesomeness. That sounds official, right? We asked a ton of snowboard campers, staff, and riders to describe Session 3 in one word. Here's a loosely-scientific-type chart that shows the results.
Why was Session 3 so amazing/sick? Well summer weather is starting to hit Mount Hood and campers, staff, and pro riders were ecstatic to take advantage of the sunny days to get in as many laps as possible in the park.
On campus, the Concrete Jungle was firing, Laurent-Nicolas Paquin was putting down enormous airwalks, while new coach Ozzy Henning was launching benihanas, and Nick Visconti stopped by to hit the 'crete as well.
On hill, the Windells lane was packed with fun-having boarders. Rome pro riders Marie-France Roy, Lucas Debari, Toni Kerkela, and AmArmy shreds Mary Rand, Riley Nickerson, Mark Wilson, Derrek Lever, and Ozzy Henning took over the Session and The Diggers continued to outdo themselves each session, adding new features to the line up, including a transfer rail and a grip of modular Nike pieces. The snake run has continued to get deeper and even more fun too, as campers have taken lap after lap in the banked course.
Next up is Session 4, The Reunion Session! Stay tuned to www.windells.com for updates all summer long.

WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama on Saturday proposed a broader long-term strategy to confront Islamic militants in Iraq, who have surprised U.S. intelligence with the fast pace of their approach on the Kurdish capital of Irbil.
Obama warned Americans that the new campaign to bring security in Iraq requires military and political changes and "is going to be a long-term project." He wouldn't give a timetable for how long the U.S. military involvement would last, saying it depends on Iraq's political efforts.
"I don't think we are going to solve this problem in weeks," Obama said. "I think this is going to take some time."
The president said Iraqi security forces need to revamp to effectively mount an offensive, which requires a government in Baghdad that the Iraqi military and people have confidence in. Obama said Iraq needs a prime minister — an indication that he believes he's written off the legitimacy of the incumbent, Nouri al-Maliki.
Obama said he won't close the U.S. embassy in Baghdad or the consulate in Irbil, which means American troops and diplomats will remain on the ground. He said where U.S. personnel are threatened, it's his obligation as commander in chief to protect them.
The president said humanitarian efforts continue to airdrop food and water to persecuted religious minorities stranded on a mountaintop, and he said planning was underway for how to get them down.
Obama made his comments and took a few questions from reporters on the South Lawn of the White House, just before boarding Marine One for his summer vacation on Martha's Vineyard in Massachusetts.
"I'm ready to not have a suit on for a while," Obama told reporters as he headed back into the White House before quickly boarding the helicopter.
The president repeated that the U.S. is not going to have U.S. combat troops in Iraq again. "We are going to maintain that because we should have learned a lesson from our long and immensely costly incursion into Iraq," Obama said.
He dismissed the suggestion that the new military action in Iraq might make him regret pulling out troops in the first place. He said the departure of U.S. troops was the Iraqi government's call because it failed to agree to legal immunity for American forces, which was the condition for them to stay.
Obama said that even had U.S. troops remained, their presence would not have made much of a difference if the Iraqi government had followed the same political course of failing to incorporate the Sunni minority.
"The only difference is we would have a bunch of troops on the ground that would be vulnerable," Obama said.
"So that entire analysis is bogus and is wrong, but gets frequently peddled around here by folks who oftentimes are trying to defend previous policies that they themselves made," Obama said.
The president said there's "no doubt" the Islamic State's advance Irbil "has been more rapid than the intelligence estimates." But he said the airstrikes have destroyed the militants' arms and equipment.
U.S. military jets launched several airstrikes Friday on isolated targets, including two mortar positions and a vehicle convoy. U.S. officials announced Friday night the second airdrop of food and water in as many days for the imperiled refugees.

But even if he hadn't, I'm sure he would have re-aligned himself with the eye holes by then. My earlier post was just using that as evidence to show he had been forced to move closer to the edge of his cloak rather than "wearing" it properly like every other time.
The panel after Silat stabbed the mask and it cracks is cool
I'm still hoping that Rakshas, as crazy as he is, pulls a Vader down the road and intervenes in the good fight. Yea, not likely, but he's obviously holding back and I'm super excited to hear more about his past.
I can envision a scenario where Rickert, Silat and the Tapasa get cornered on their escape from Falconia, and Daiba rescues them with Garuda. That could immediately elucidate them on Daiba's new role. Otherwise, his former association with Ganishka would surely be a problem for Silat.
This is right after Rickert tell them about the sacrifices
Rakshas is the smoke monster from Lost
Here's a rough summary. Keep in mind it's likely to contain inaccuracies because the source material (Korean translation) is unreliable.
Shadow Monster!
I hope things work out for Rickert and Erika. I think Rickert's skills will fit well with the Bakiraka.
Shadow Monster!
*smoke monster image*
Not sure I see the connection, guys.
He's more of a fabric monster, actually.
Rakshas fluid movement in his cloak comes off like air/smoke. I can see the connection, but it was a joke. Just not as much of a joke as lost.
A laundry monster.
I think Rickert's skills will fit well with the Bakiraka.
Also, NEW MASK GUYS! Any ideas? I'm assuming it will be new yet similar to the last, and if he's already wearing it in that shot possibly sleeker and less toothy than the last (of course those details could just be obscured).
Aw, I think I'd be as sad as Rakshas was to see the old one go. I've come to associate it with him so much. I hope he just made a new one of the same, to tell you the truth!
I never anticipated Rakshas to have ALL these tricks up his cloak. I'm almost starting to wonder if he isn't always in his apostle form.
The mask didn't crack, Silat split it in half by "opening" his Katar (notice the three blades).
They immediately jump at him but he catches their feet in his cloak, throwing them face first on the ground. But they exclaim that they got him, and roll on themselves to hold him in place
She then freaks out upon seeing the Tapasa, telling him to watch out as ugly monsters are right behind him. Rickert tries to tell her they're human as the Tapasa themselves argue as to which one of the two she meant by that (She meant you! No, it must be you!)
"Before the Kushans attacked this holy land, a long time ago, we Bakiraka hid ourselves in an impregnable fortress and made a living as assassins for hundreds of years. All of the residents are warriors who train themselves day and night to develop lethal skills. Even goblins can't approach that place easily. The tyrant who hired us was destroyed, so we pondered on whether we should flock to the Falcon like other Kushans or not, but we don't want to serve an inhuman being again. Moreover, we were thinking to go back to our fortress. If the world was still fine, I would never let anybody who doesn't belong to our clan in that place, but this is a good chance for you."
Also, NEW MASK GUYS! Any ideas?
In one episode Rakshas has somehow managed to become exponentially more interesting. He was always cool and mercurial (moreso now), but there's also an element of tragic sadness there as well. Not just his identification with the mask and how it obviously relates to his body and desire for, literally, Griffith's "beautiful" head, but more Silat's comment about Rakshas still observing their customs despite being banished, which implies a longing I wouldn't have guessed before.
Plus Rakshas referring to Silat as a rookie, meaning he was probably his senior at one time, perhaps even a mentor
I'm really excited at the possibility of seeing how the Bakiraka live in their own homeland. I just hope it isn't too long of a trip... and that they don't need a boat to get there!

Wishing Everyone a Happy Thanksgiving
from our house to yours!!!

In the spring of 1969, when I was 14, my entire family – including aunts, uncles and cousins - descended in masse on the downtown movie theatre to see the just released movie, Goodbye Columbus, based on Philip Roth's first novella. Filmed mainly in Westchester County, New York – the movie tells the story of a spoiled, Jewish princess, Brenda, and her summer romance with Neil, the poor, unambitious librarian from the Bronx. I suppose the movie was a family event because it was about a contemporary Jewish family – which very few movies were. Probably every Jewish family saw this film in 1969 – news of it quickly spread in our community. I remember the older members of my family being very disappointed by the brief nudity and the wedding scene which is a basically a caricature of a vulgar, over-the-top extravaganza. And my mother was especially turned off by the way Brenda's father lectured her: "You have given me a lot of nachas, a lot of joy. For a million dollars, nobody could buy that joy. So, when you go back to school and you're shivering, go to the store and buy yourself a nice leather coat with a fur collar." Mom felt that he should have said "Pick up the telephone and call me" rather than use money to buy her love. This was exactly 40 years ago – and I remember this conversation with my mother like it was yesterday.
The Westchester County Jewish Country Club
Truth be told, unlike the older relatives, I adored the movie – and so did all of my friends. I didn't mind the brief nudity or the scandalous story line of premarital sex. Instead, I liked to imagine that maybe one morning I would wake up and be living Brenda's privileged life. Brenda, played by Ali McGraw in her first movie role, was gorgeous – tall, tan, and thin. Her wardrobe was designed by The Villager, which was our Anthropologie. The musical score was by The Association and all of us had the sound tract, which we played over and over, especially the song "Groovy Just Being Together." Hey, this WAS the 60's!!!! My friends and I went back to see the movie a few more times, without our parents, and secretly I think we all wished we were Brenda Patimkin, the athletic, wealthy and slightly rebellious Radcliffe girl. Although, to be sure, none of us ever wanted Richard Benjamin - who played Neil Klugman - as a boyfriend! We all thought Benjamin, also starring in his first starring role, was not cute enough to ever land someone as adorable as Ali McGraw! And to this day, I still think he was terribly miscast in the role.
The beautiful Ali McGraw in her debut movie performance. Playing a freshman at Radcliffe, she was actually 30 years old at the time.
But, of course, as usual I had another reason than my friends why I loved the movie – the Patimkins lived in a beautiful, old, three story Colonial Revival house in Westchester County. It was traditional, classic, and totally WASPy, not at all like the Mid Century Modern type houses that most of us lived in at that time. No – this was the type of house that the gentiles in River Oaks lived in – not Jewish people from Meyerland!! The fantasy of living in the multi-storied house probably intrigued me more than the movie. The house was actually four stories – it had a basement that was fully furnished for pool-table games and shindigs. Houston doesn't have basements, so the Patimkin's rec room seemed very mysterious and alluring. The house loomed over the movie like a character. The scenes around the dinner table were lengthy and legendary. The entrance hall, with its gorgeous Georgian stairway, was the setting for much important dialogue. The lush, green grounds of the property were as grand as the interiors. And of course, Brenda's bedroom – which the house guest, boyfriend Neil Klugman, would sneak into every night – was a teenaged girl's dream.
Brenda's clothes came from The Villager. At the time, his outfit was a favorite of mine – midriff baring, red and white striped t and white jeans.
I hadn't seen Goodbye Columbus in years and years and years and one night it came to me that my teenage daughter might love it as much as I had – so we rented it. She watched about 30 minutes of it and then left to go get on her computer. I can't say I blamed her - it doesn't hold up well with time – the endless montage sequences, slow motion and out of focus, is the dated cinematography style of the 60s and 70s. And, the then shocking nudity is banal – more skin is seen on primetime television today. The love story too, once so taboo – a college girl having premarital sex with her boyfriend – is today considered almost commonplace. And although Ali McGraw still looks beautiful and is adorably dressed, forty years later, Richard Benjamin is even less attractive or desirable as the lover.
A lot of the movie action centered around the country club – with endless montages of soft-focused underwater swimming.
Amazingly though, the Patimkin's grand house, lived up to my memories. It is still the classic, WASPy mansion that I once dreamed about. In fact, with a few cosmetic and surface changes, I would still be very happy living there today, albiet, with my own teenaged Brenda (as long as she wasn't sneaking a boy - especially one as ugly as Neil ! - into her bedroom at night.) This is one major change that 40 years has brought – I am no longer the rebellious teenager who related to Brenda, but instead, now I am the mother worrying about her daughter's boyfriend, just like Brenda Patimkin's mother did.
Below, enjoy a few pictures from the Patimkin's Westchester house:
The large, white, Colonial Revival house, with its bright red shutters, starred in the movie. The wide center hall bisects the house – the dining room is on the left side, facing the back yard. On the far left, in what looks like an addition, is the kitchen which is not seen in the movie. On the extreme right is the covered porch, where an important scene was filmed. Neil Klugman drives the blue convertible. The house is actually four stories counting the attic and the finished basement.
Close up of the red front door with it's brass knocker and lanterns. If you look closely, you can see the Mezuzah, the religious symbol that all Jews put on their doorpost – as commanded by God.
The very first glimpse into the house – the center hall features prominently in the movie. The wallpaper is Near Eastern influenced and runs up through the second story landing and hall. The room open on the left is the dining room. A large brass lantern hangs in the stairway, while a crystal chandelier hangs above the front door.
The Oriental-inspired, over-sized, dining room is where two major scenes were filmed. The walls are painted gray, with red chinoiserie wallpaper inset within the molding. The curtains are sheers with fabric swags. The same fabric covers the chairs which are Chippendale styled and painted chartreuse. A large crystal chandelier is hanging here and crystal sconces are placed around room.
Mrs. Klugman, a nouveau riche snob, is not too thrilled with Brenda's new beau – a public library worker who lives in the Bronx. The movie's theme deals with the struggle between the two classes of Jews. As for the house: Here you can see the large Chippendale cabinet, filled with oriental celadon and Rose Medallion porcelains.
On the left is a rather tacky red chinoiserie chest with gilding. A large seltzer water bottle is set on the table. I grew up with such a seltzer water bottle – which was always placed on the dinner table, just like this!
Behind Neil and Brenda is a large, carved Oriental screen that hides the door to the kitchen.
During dinner, Brenda scandalously puts her hand on Neil's thigh, causing him to totally lose his composure! It seems so mild by today's standards.
Brenda's older brother and younger sister. Here you can see the red chinoiserie wallpaper more clearly. Why there are pink roses in this room is a mystery.
With the family mostly gone from the dinner table, you can see the ornateness of the dining room more clearly – the oriental rug ties all the colors together, the marble fireplace with it's folding, brass peacock screen (remember those!!??), the large crystal chandelier and sconces. And lastly – there is a window AC unit behind Neil. This fancy dining room is starkly contrasted with Neil's own dining room in the Bronx apartment he shares with his aunt and uncle.
The homey Bronx dining room where Neil is more accustomed to eating – not quite as fancy! Love his Aunt's apron – my own aunt used have aprons just like this.
The beautiful side yard of the Patimkin's property. Here you can see the side covered porch that leads off the living room.
The covered porch with it's assortment of white iron furniture, covered in pink fabric – why pink, when red is the accent color? Mrs. Patimkin is trying very hard to be cordial to the new boyfriend from the Bronx – the very same neighborhood the Patimkin's escaped from as soon as they had accumulated enough wealth.
The expansive front yard with its circular drive. A large round fountain sits right in the middle of all the cars.
The front hall with its Near Eastern inspired gold and lavender colored shiny wallpaper. The door with its fan and side lights is classically styled, as is the flooring of white marble with black marble insets. The furniture, though, is faux antique – heavily gilded – exactly the type of furniture one would buy to impress. A crystal chandelier and sconces further dress up the entry hall. At the base of the stairway, a tall marble pedestal holds a bronze statue lighting fixture.
The staircase is carpeted in green! uggh! Wood treads with a runner would be so much more attractive, but remember the 60s and 70s were the height of wall to wall carpeting. At the top of the landing is a beautiful arched window flanked by gilded mirrors. The large, brass lantern hangs down the three floors.
The master bedroom is shown in several humorous scenes. The room is wallpapered in a floral pattern above the chair rail. Also in the room is a fancy white and gilded fireplace with crystal sconces and mirror. Bronze statues on gilded sconces flank the fireplace.
Oy! The headboard is a Venetian disaster! I love how Mrs. Pitimkin with curlers in her hair is smoking in bed. Hair nets and smoking in bed are really things of the past. The purple and white sheets are covered with a green velour blanket – remember velour blankets?!?
This second night – this time the blanket and sheets are blue. The cigarette and rollers are missing tonight. But what is with that childish pink bow?
The basement "rec"room. Knotty pine paneling, wagon wheel built- in decor, ping-pong table, leopard print, and black and white checkerboard floor. The bar is incredibly stocked with every liquor imaginable.
The overflowing, "extra" refrigerator – the excess was impossible for Neil to resist. Notice the old design on the can of Coke and the Diet Rite Cola. When the refrigerator opened to all that fruit – the audience gasped.
The second floor landing – off the bedroom hall You can really see the thickness of the beautiful wood banister here. The stairs on the right lead up the third floor. Three floors really impressed me as a young girl – I had only ever lived in a one story house. Notice the pretty black tole sconce on the wall. Also, all the plugs in the house are covered with brass switch plates.
A close up of the beautiful stair railing with its three styles of carved spindles. The gold phone is priceless!
Notice above Neil's head, you can see the third floor steps – each tread is individually carved. This stair hall is really a beautiful one with all the richness of the details: the landings, the arched window, the turned spindles, the carved handrail. Just the grand size of the stair hall is notable, and rarely seen in most homes, even large ones.
Brenda and Neil saw two movies that summer – here Rosemary's Baby.
And next, The Odd Couple. Ironically, soon after Jack Klugman who plays Mr. Patimkin would star in the TV series of The Odd Couple.
The third floor, or the attic, was filled with furniture from "when we were poor" Brenda tells Neil, after a fight with her mother. Attics like this, with windows, finished floors and headroom, have always fascinated me and this scene really made an impression on me when I first saw the movie – the hidden treasures that were waiting to be found there!
Brenda's cute 60's style bedroom saw lots of action, of course. After Neil is invited to be a houseguest during Brenda's last two weeks at home – each night he sneaks into her bedroom behind her parents' back. By today's standards – the parents would probably allow the boyfriend to share the room with their college aged girl. At the time, this was such a scandalous situation – a it made my elder relatives very uncomfortable to watch. The bedroom is wallpapered in a bright yellow and orange floral pattern. The curtains are white with yellow trim and the sheers have a cute daisy pattern sewn into them. Notice her "Trimline" telephone – this was the hugely popular telephone model that was introduced to the market just three years prior.
A classic shot from the movie – with Neil's face in the vanity mirror.
In Brenda's private bathroom, the gold damask wallpaper blends in with her bedroom's wallpaper. I love the vanity lights – the base of each bulb appears to be some type of chandelier or lamp part.
One more shot of Brenda's bedroom - here you can see the twin arches – one is her bookcase, the other is her vanity/desk. The carpet is the original, dreaded shag wall to wall. Today, shag carpet is called "frieze." Here Brenda and Neil are fighting over the fact that Brenda's has not been using birth control!
This is the only shot of the living area or family room with it's mod covered sofa: bright Kelly green with chrysanthemums. I've always wished they showed more of the living room than just this one shot.
The blue wallpapered guest room where Neil pretended to spend the night. Behind Brenda's brother are the back stairs that lead up to the attic where all the old furniture is stored.The guest room is wallpapered in a blue and white pattern. The furniture in this room is a bedroom suite called French Provencal. Growing up, I had a set like this – white with gilding – as did most girls I knew. Remember bedroom suites – matching nightstands, headboards, and dressers? Tufted fabric headboards are actually in vogue right now. The bed has a fitted bedspread with a scalloped edged, lined with trim. A check fabric is used for the curtains and the dust ruffle.
A scene from Brenda's brother's controversial wedding. Most Jewish movie goers were offended by the portrayal of this wedding where guests were seen stuffing their faces with food, rudely cutting in the buffet line and just acting obnoxious. Apparently, when the head of the studio, Robert Evans (and Ali McGraw's husband) saw an early cut of the wedding scene, he objected that it wasn't "ethnic" enough. The director then recut the scene – adding more offensive footage into the movie.
The scene my mother most objected to. At the wedding reception, Mr. Patimkin lectures Brenda about being a good, moral daughter that he is very proud of: "You have given me a lot of nachas, a lot of joy. For a million dollars, nobody could buy that joy. So, when you go back to school and you're shivering, go to the store and buy yourself a nice leather coat with a fur collar." My mother felt he should have told her to either call or come home. Brenda, is feeling quite guilty here, knowing she's been having sex behind her parents' back and if her father knew, he would not be so proud of her. Oh, the pathos!
The riotous wedding reception. Forty years later – it seems more tame, farcical, and extremely dated. This time around, I certainly wasn't offended watching it as no one I know acts like that at a wedding! I don't know where this scene was filmed, but I suspect it may be the country club, which was the setting for many scenes in the movie.
The End: Brenda goes back to Radcliffe and leaves her birth control at home which her mother promptly discovers. Feeling too guilty to ever bring Neil home again – she ends the relationship. Neil, of course, doesn't understand why she left her birth control at home and realizes Brenda did it to end the relationship proving that the privileged Westchester girl would never marry the poor Bronx boy. Today, this class struggle – the divide between upper and lower class Jews seems comical and very unrealistic and would never be an issue today. In fact, I'm not even sure such a class divide even exists at all. This scene is set in what is supposed to be a sleazy motel, but the wallpaper is a charming Prince of Wales feather type and the chest looks like the most authentic antique in the entire movie!
I hope you enjoyed looking back at one of my favorite movie houses from my teenaged years. What is your favorite teenaged movie? Is there a house in it that made it a favorite? Did you ever see Goodbye Columbus – and if so – did you have the same positive feelings to the house as I did?

We settled into our booth and ordered the world famous Sacher torte. This was what arrived:
Wow! Just look at the crispness and evenness of the layers:
The extremely moist sponge might almost fool you into thinking that it had alcohol soaked into it (it hasn't) and the thin, barely visible, layer of apricot jam added fruitiness. The thick chocolate topping was firm but not hard and tasted like heaven! The dark chocolate was intense without being bitter and the cocoa flavour built in your mouth with every forkful. I found it divine and was relieved as I would've been crushed if it wasn't tip top quality. The CCBF (Caked Crusader's Boyfriend), in contrast, was a little disappointed as he had hoped that the chocolate would be more bitter and rich. Having said that, here's his plate about 4 minutes after we were served:
It's also worth showing the coffee – although it looks more like a dessert! The liqueur glass contains a chocolate liqueur. I had a sip and can vouch that it had a kick to it!
The CCBF is well used to my obsession by now and anticipated that I would head off to the cake counted to photograph everything. Thus, on my return as I enthused about all the delights on offer he suggested that we have another cake. This is why I love him! When you peruse the photos set out below of the cake counter you'll appreciate why selecting just one cake was tricky, but I settled on the strawberry torte:
This was truly patisserie at its finest. The base was a mix of plain and chocolate sponge, topped with the most refined strawberry mousse I've ever tasted – you know how when you make strawberry mousse you sieve it to get all the seeds out...but some always sneak through? This was perfectly smooth – not a seed in sight. The mousse was a loose set and so well judged; firm enough to hold its shape but soft enough to melt in the mouth. The vivid strawberry coulis on top was an amazing colour and tasted as intense as it looked.
As promised here are the photos I took of the Cafe Sacher cake counter. There are quite a few:
We visited the Mirabell Gardens early one morning and I fell in love with the dwarf garden; an area containing what I suppose you'd call Baroque gnomes. Mirabell will be known to you if you've seen The Sound of Music as the "Doe a deer" bit was filmed there. Behind the Gardens a food market was in full swing. This wasn't a tourist market but where the locals were buying fruit, veg, meat and bread. We ventured in and were rewarded with spectacular sights, smells and sounds – it was also packed! Keen to blend in with the locals (who seem to drink beer and spirits at all times of the day) we purchased some goodies and retreated to the dwarf garden to enjoy them. The CCBF went a little more native than me settling on the local beer (a good effort for 10.30am!) and a pretzel:
I selected a chocolate covered bun:
At less than €2 this was a bargain. The bun was huge and, for a yeast-based bun, surprisingly light. The milk chocolate covering was a halfway point between a ganache and a glace icing. Just to prove I can be arty even when filling my face with baked goods, here's the bun with the beautiful Mirabell Gardens in the background:
We took a boat up the Salzach river to Hellbrunn a palace famed for its trick fountains that squirt the unsuspecting bystander... but this is not a blog about fountains. The restaurant served a most pleasing chocolate nut cake:
Both the chocolate and the nut were clearly defined flavours and the sponge was extremely light. The sponge was flecked with minute chocolate chips and the top was given crunch with chopped nuts.
Luckily, Salzburg is aware of its culinary delights and there are many cookbooks for sale in English with the recipes for all the yummy things you'll eat whilst staying there. One or two (OK, eight) of these books came home with me – as did my new friend Herr Stiegl. Here he is marvelling at the Salzburg architecture....
We both agreed (that's the CCBF and me, Herr Stiegl kept his opinion to himself) that Salzburg was a wonderful holiday location and I would recommend it to anyone who likes fresh air and good food. The city is compact and virtually everything is within easy walking distance. For September we were blessed with marvellous sunny weather and I shall always think of the place fondly.

(Editor's note: Brian Redmond of Redmond's Nursery in Tomahawk made a return trip to the Ocean Springs, Miss., area to deliver Christmas trees this year, something he has done the past 26 years. Brian had transported donated supplies from Tomahawk shortly after Hurricane Katrina. This is one of the letters he was given thanking local folks for their concern and support. It is printed as part of a feature story in the Jan. 17 Tomahawk Leader.)
Dear Citizens of Tomahawk, Wisconsin:
Thank you, thank you from the bottom of our hearts for all of the clothing, bedding and supplies y'all donated to us after Katrina. Words cannot express how much the need was and how truly thankful we are to y'all.
Before Katrina, I had everything a person could possibly need or want. A beautiful house filled with 30 years worth of memories and hard work. A good job. A great husband and two wonderful children. Then on Aug. 29 (I will never forget that date) my whole world, as I knew it, would come to an end.
Looking back, it is so hard for me to believe that it was actually me living that life. It seems so far away. So long ago. Even though it has only been a few months. Like my husband says, "It's like a different lifetime or a different world." It's hard for me to even remember what it feels like to be normal.
We lost everything. The house, furniture, clothes, food, my job. We had nothing! Not even shelter. For the first time in my life, I was homeless, displaced, jobless, a refugee and hungry. We had nothing but the clothes on our backs and my husband's truck. These were terms and words I never in a million years would of ever guessed I could be associated with. But, thank God, I had my husband, two children, two cats and two sugar glyders and my life. Eighteen people in my small neighborhood weren't as fortunate and lost their lives. Six are still missing.
God has truly blessed me! Things were real difficult at first. There were days when we didn't eat. Over a week before we could bathe. Water was real scarce so even a sponge bath was wasted water. And no toilet facilities, besides a bucket, bag and shovel. (I'll leave the rest to your imagination.) After awhile the clothes we had on became stiff with dirt, sweat, grease and filth. Death and sewage was everywhere. Dead bodies and debris lay everywhere and the smell was horrible.
My friend, Carol, whose mother owns Frasier's Nursery, told me of a truck that had come from Wisconsin with supplies and clothes. We were overjoyed. We arrived at the truck and were overwhelmed by y'all's generosity. For the first time in awhile, we felt like everything was going to be OK. That very day, my husband's work, Mississippi Power Co., brought in travel trailers and put them at the power plant for employees that were homeless. I went back that day to y'all's truck and gathered up 35 of the handmade quilts that y'all had sent and distributed them, as well as other goods y'all had sent, to the other families at the make-shift trailer park at the power plant who had lost everything. Everyone was so overwhelmed by y'all's generosity. The quilts especially are so nice to have. You would of thought I was handing out a million dollars when I gave everyone a quilt. It's nice to have something as nice as a beautiful, handmade quilt, especially when you have lost everything. I find when I am feeling down, I'll wrap myself in my quilt and it makes me feel better. Kind of like a big, secure hug. Now that it is getting cold, the quilts are very nice to have because the travel trailers are so drafty.
I just wanted y'all to know how truly thankful we are to y'all. And that everything y'all have given was needed and used by people who really were in need. Y'all have touched so many lives and truly made a difference to so many. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of our hearts and may God bless you. Y'all will always be in our thoughts and prayers. We hope y'all have a very Merrill Christmas and a wonderful New Year!
Love, Belinda Slade
De'lberville, Miss.

"We have utilized CSS for many, many years. We don't use recruiting firms often, but when we do, CSS is at the top of the list of those I contact. The steps taken by the account executives are above and beyond those of many firms. When learning of an opportunity, CSS works directly with Human Resources and also conducts a brief interview of the hiring manager to ensure they have all of the information they require to be successful in responding to our needs, while at the same time respecting our internal processes and the value of our time. CSS works diligently to evaluate their current resources and potentially locate new candidates to ensure those whom they present to us are qualified. They thoroughly screen not only for the technical fit, but also for cultural fit... and that additional consideration is extremely important to us. Beyond this well-respected (and appreciated!) process, they add a personal touch by being there to introduce the candidate to either myself or the manager with whom their candidate is meeting. It is a company of integrity which not only respects the needs of its clients, but also those of the individuals it is placing, and CSS remains committed to the hiring process from start to finish. Many of the individuals CSS has placed with us over the years are still with the company and have proven to be strong contributors. I would recommend CSS to any organization looking for a firm truly committed to successfully supporting their needs."
"CSS knows what questions to ask to understand our environment and culture. She asks the appropriate probing questions to fill positions without being annoying or taking too much of our time. She takes both of those pieces of information to consistently outperform competition and provide resources that meet our technical and cultural needs at a competitive rate. Consultants are respected and valued by CSS, resulting with her being able to consistently get top talent."
"CSS balances getting the right information from us with respecting how busy we are. You deliver quality talent. I also appreciate the connections you have provided, getting us outside perspectives and connecting us to people we may need someday. you are, without a doubt, our top staffing firm."
"We have worked with CSS since 2002 and have enjoyed a very successful relationship. The account managers go above and beyond in working with their recruiting team to ensure we have the right candidate for the job; not just technically, but personality as well. We have a conservative environment and not everyone can fit into our work style. At one point, CSS had 68 consultants working with us between our Lincoln and Birmingham, AL locations. They assisted us in getting our project completed on time and on budget. Their dedication to the business is unique and I would recommend them to anyone who wants a partner they can count on."
What do you believe differentiates CSS from other staffing employers?
"CSS really took the time to get to know me, my work experiences, my strengths and my level of knowledge in all areas of IT."
How would you evaluate CSS as your employer?
"Fantastic, communication with Consultants is excellent! Office staff is very friendly and helpful."
What is CSS' greatest strength?
"Based on their analysis of my value, after meeting me and reviewing my experiences, they were able to place me into a job that perfectly fit my talent and what I was looking for. They also have the ability to think outside the box regarding opportunities and companies to consider in the employment process. I value their opinions as they truly are the experts in the field!".
What do you believe differentiates CSS from other staffing employers?
"The personal interaction with CSS staff has been very encouraging. CSS has been very aggressive to present me to my current clients as well as to other potential ones. The annual picnic for employees, gift cards and providing treats to the clients are the little things that go a long way to providing good relationships between employees and clients."
How would you evaluate CSS as your employer?
"CSS has done everything within their power to present my strengths so that I have been able to continue the business relationship with the client as long as I have."
What is CSS' greatest strength?
"CSS's greatest strength is their people. I have worked in organizations where you are just a number. The CSS staff treats you like a valued employee and actually makes an effort to get to know you on a personal level."
What do you believe differentiates CSS from other staffing employers?
"CSS takes a keen interest in thoroughly understanding the client's needs for a particular position. And then works to recognize the motivations and capabilities of candidates, looking for the win-win for client and candidate in the areas of fit and satisfaction for both parties."
What is CSS' greatest strength?
"The experience of CSS management in the specific domains of their clients, in combination with their customer service attitude and attention to quality enables CSS to be successful in delivering values for both hiring clients and candidates."

Learn to Use Scholarships for Expenses
Learn to use scholarships to eliminate out-of-pocket expenses.
While looking for money for school many servicemembers, veterans, and their families tend to overlook the over $300 million of military – and veteran – related scholarships and grants. These scholarships often go unclaimed due to the following misconceptions:
Find a school that will get you ready for a career in law enforcement.
- Military education benefits eliminate the need for scholarships and grants. False – The truth is that Tuition Assistance is limited to about $750 a class and usually only covers tuition and a limited amount of fees. This means that you have to pay for books, fees, and other items. There are hundreds of scholarships and grants specifically designed to supplement these education related costs, so you don't have to.
- Scholarships are too difficult to win and applying requires too much work. It is true that some scholarships require a written essay. But, it is important to remember that scholarship and grant applications vary widely, and some require nothing more than a short application. Besides you should think of it this way: It may be the only essay you ever get paid to write.
- Scholarships are too difficult to find. False – Many scholarships go unclaimed because students don't know where to look. Fortunately, there is a great online resource to help service members find the scholarship and learn how, where, and when to apply.
Here are some quick tips to help your search:
- Do your homework. Take advantage of the free online scholarship search at Military.com's Scholarship Finder. The Scholarship Finder lists over 1,000 scholarships from a variety of sources.
- Don't limit yourself You qualify for non-military related scholarships too. Visit your local library to find scholarship directories that list awards based on age, state of residence, cultural background, and field of study.
- Search in your military community. Many service aid organizations and associations, like the Navy Marine Corps Relief Society, offer scholarships, grants, and low interest loans to help cover education expenses. Click here to find out more about your Service Aid Organization's education assistance programs.
- It's never too soon to start your scholarship search. Many scholarship application deadlines are as early as a year in advance.

Coping With Storms And Crop Losses: Farmers Just Do It
Last week a storm that produced large hail stones caused a large amount of damage to crops that were not far from being harvested.
As I read of lost revenue for farmers, I thought back to a storm on July 5, 1976. Our crops looked so good. We estimated that the wheat on the land we rented would yield close to 60 bushels to the acre. I remember my mother-in-law saying, " It sure looks like a great crop, but you don't have it until it's in the bin." Truer words were never spoken. We didn't harvest nearly 60 bushels to the acre. Because of a bad storm that packed with it lots of large hail, we harvested 10 bushels to the acre.
Farming is a double edged sword. It's a rewarding, fulfilling, great way of life yet it carries with it sorrow and heartbreak.
Farmers have tremendous strength and resiliency and faith. They have to have those qualities to face total destruction of their year's work and still say, "We'll try again next year."
I've often heard it said this is "next year" country. But I feel that applies to farmers no matter what part of the country they live in.
Next year there might not be such bad storms, next year it won't be so dry or wet or cold or hot or the grasshoppers will be fewer. Farmers will work on looking at things a little differently, perhaps try something new, but they'll plant again in the spring.
Seeing the hours and hours of hard work as well as the financial investment it takes to seed the crops and nurture them taken away in a matter of minutes is enough to bring a farmer to his knees. But it's exactly there – on his knees – that helps him stand up and go on – to next year.
Loss of the year's crops starts farmers working on ways to handle such a disaster. And somehow they make it through. They may have to put off buying new equipment or building another grain bin, but in the end they manage.
Their love for the land and their way of life keeps them moving forward. Hard work and determination sends them back to the fields to salvage, if possible, what is left.
No better steward of the land can be found than those who take care of it, who till it, seed it, harvest what the land produces.
Following the loss of their crops, farmers will gather, talk about what happened, how bad the damage was, what happened in other years, and end their time together by saying, "Well, next year . . . . "
Strength, resiliency, faith – farmers rely on them every year – and for next year.

Seahawks trade their 2nd Round pick (56 overall) + 7th Round pick (231) to New Orleans Saints for their 2013 #75 overall + 2014 3rd Rounder.
Seahawks then trade 3rd Round pick (87th overall) to Minnesota for their 4th Round picks (102nd + 120th overall).
Seahawks still have 10 draft picks:
75th, 102nd, 120th, 123rd, 138th, 158th, 194th, 220th, 241st, 242nd
3- 75th: OT, Jordan Mills, 6'5, 316
4- 102nd: OT, David Quessenberry, 6'5, 302
Grab either or with the first two selections but get both.
In my opinion, Offensive Line is the Seahawks biggest weakness especially the depth at Tackle. Both players possess most of the qualities Cable covets in his linemen including versatility to play all over the line plus a competitive, nasty demeanor. By drafting and developing a couple of players this year, Seahawks will save time, money, and limit growing pains in the future.
4- 120th: TE/WR, Jordan Reed, 6'2, 235
5- 138th: FB/TE, Kyle Jusczcyk, 6'3, 245
At first, I wasn't high on Reed to be a Seahawk because I think he lacks the size and blocking ability that our TEs need to be consistent factors in our offense. But he has great value as a Joker TE that can line up as a big WR creating mismatches thus upgrading our Red Zone offense in the now while developing his strength and blocking fundamentals to serviceable NFL standards.
Skipping ahead to the 5th Round a bit, we complement Reed with Jusczcyk who is a solid WR in his own right but a player who is also more capable of being a tenacious lead and in-line blocker.
If the Seahawks pull it off we can easily go 5 RBs, 5 WRs, 3 TEs with player versatility giving us 6 RBs (w/ Harvin), 6 WRs (w/ Reed), and 4 TEs (w/ Jusczcyk).
Also, by drafting the likes of Mills, Quessenberry, and Jusczcyk, Seahawks will save 7-8 million in 2014 by replacing McQuistan, Giacomini, and Robinson based on their collective 2013 salaries.
4- 123rd: DT, Jordan Hill, 6'1, 305
5- 158th: DT, Stefan Charles, 6'4, 320
Seahawks need depth on the line and more competition to secure the starting 3 tech position. Hill, in my opinion, is a similar player to Brandon Mebane coming out Cal. And Charles a player whom others have convinced me he would be a good fit and whose size and athleticism is comparable to Red Bryant. Players the Seahawks should be looking to cut or ask to restructure after this season if the right players are in place to take over.
6- 194th: RB, Kerwynn Williams, 5-8, 195
I know a lot of people have hopped aboard the Christian Michael train but I still like Williams, he's much stronger than his size would indicate, tough as nails, and a great fit for this system. Like I said in a prior mock Williams to me is Justin Forsett meets Leon Washington and he should have similar impact in the return game.
I concede the 7th round.

The nvelope plugin is the perfect tool for shaping transients on your DAW. With just a few knobs you're being given the complete control over the attack and sustain characteristics of single instruments or even complex audio material.
The nvelope offers no less than three modes of operation with remarkably broad parameter ranges, proving to be amazingly flexible in any situation ranging from subtle corrections during mixing up to drastic changes while reshaping all sorts of individual tones.
Classic transient processing, selective flavoring in Dual Band mode, plus a mastering-grade shelf EQ – the nvelope plugin has got it all. It is available for PC and Mac in 32 and 64 bits, supporting AAX Native, AAX DSP, RTAS, AS, VST2.4, VST3, and AU.
So, the nvelope is a dynamics processor that can change the character of a sound by altering its impulse structure. It gives you direct control over the envelope of a signal by shaping its attack and sustain intensity.
More specifically, a drum set (or individual drums) can be made to sound more aggressive and punchy by accenting the attack, or tones that are already overly aggressive can easily be tamed.
Other useful applications would be on picked or slapped bass, edgy guitar or any kind of piano recording. Generally speaking, the nvelope works optimally on audio signals with a significant/percussive attack structure.
As a balance to the attack shaping, the sustain parameters offer control over room sound and space. An instrument or a reverb tail can sound tighter by reducing its sustain, or can gain more depth/make a signal sound longer by increasing it.
The nvelope is a great tool for shaping individual signals, but it can be an indispensable resource in mixing situations as well, as it effortlessly helps you to bring a sound to the front with more attack and less sustain… or blends it gently into the background by reducing its attack and increasing its sustain.
A unique feature of the nvelope is the enhanced tweakability offered in Dual Band mode. Individual frequency controls for attack and sustain yield excellent processing results without unwanted artifacts, even when utilized on complex material like a summing bus.
As you can imagine, there are many, many possible applications to be discovered...
• Ultimate Flexibility
Three plugins in one.
• Optimized Processing
Less artifacts, more fun.
• Auto Gain Function
Eliminates peaks and distortion.
• Full Range Mode
Fast & efficient envelope shaping.
• Dual Band Mode
Enhanced frequency controls.
• EQ Mode
Alternative high/low shelf equalizer.

Except when they don't get changed which happens quite often unfortunately. But it is a good thought in theory.
Ok maybe I should put it this way. I don't think a player should be expected to "WORK" at a tournament. Not saying we'll have alot of out of towners but I know I don't like having a job to do when I would rather just play golf.

This organization provides a forum in which all graduate students in the EEB department are welcome to discuss any issues relevant to graduate school. We typically have between two and three meetings a semester, but additional meetings can be called as necessary. The organization is run by a group of student officers. Meetings follow parliamentary procedure, as well as the guidelines specified by our constitution and by-laws. Activities undertaken by the organization include an annual t-shirt design fundraiser, hosting of our own research symposium, and the invitation of a seminar speaker.
All students in the department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology working towards a Ph.D. or M.S. are eligible for GSA membership. There are 59 members for the 2007-2008 academic year. The organization advisor is Robin Chazdon.
Meetings are typically held in the Bamford Room after EEB Department Seminar at 5pm on Thursdays.
GSA Officers
Terms of all offices are for one year, typically starting around September 1. Elections are held at the first GSA meeting of the fall semester, when current officers are either re-elected or replaced by another graduate student. Additional GSA officer positions may be created as necessary, and obsolete positions may be disbanded.
