Cougars, Witches & Aliens: The 2009 ABC TCA Summer Press Tour – Feature – Part II
The second part of ABC's summer press tour is even more dramatically scripted than the first which was highlighted by the season's rookie to beat. But with a Jerry Bruckheimer drama starring Christian Slater, a "Witches Of Eastwick" update, a series remake of "V" and a new Courteney Cox-black comedy entitled "Cougar Town", ABC is betting the farm on a variety of interesting but at times risky propositions.
Executive Session: Stephen McPherson (President/ABC Entertainment) The first question posed to McPherson was the inherent bear of the tour which was the perception of Jay Leno's 10pm show in contradiction to scripted late prime shows. The exec responded that NBC is in transition and they (at ABC) are waiting to see what the prime time move in terms of effectiveness turns out to be. He plans to compete for the viewers as his mandate is to make the broadcast element of his company vibrant. He believes in terms of series that ABC has to remain ambitious. He says projects like "Lost" have been very fortuitous for them but states that you have to look at each show differently. "Flash Forward" he agrees needs to have that cinematic feeling. He says that there is alot of great drama out there and sees the 10pm hour as a major opportunity in the current marketplace.
In terms of some other new shows at ABC, he speaks that when he heard that Warners was going out with a TV take on "The Witches Of Eastwick", he thought it was a great fun way to do a female driven series. Rebecca Romijn was such a trooper going back to work. He makes the joke that she was doing the role an hour and a half after having her twins.
In terms of some shows getting the axe, he says that those decisions are among the biggest challenges in determining how patient you can be. Sometimes it has to do with how it affects your schedule. For others (he cites "Pushing Daisies") the writer's strike derailed them.
Other shows by comparison are making their way from other networks, "Scrubs" will still be called "Scrubs" but it will be different in its construct in terms of the hospital versus teaching. McPherson adds that Zach Braff will be back but for a limited amount of time.
In terms of the thought of possibly bringing Paula Abdul into the fray of "America's Got Talent" after her sudden and supposed break from "American Idol", McPherson said that he was stunned and actually had already put in a call to her. His quote: "We'd love to get a piece of that."
Questioned about the lack of movie of the week and/or miniseries product which used to be a mainstay of ABC, McPherson says that there is a very specific business model for those types of projects which they have looked at but just doesn't fit the marketplace right now. However he said he would love for it to be a business again for them.
Coming back to the NBC/Leno move, McPherson thinks it was a decision of cost containment versus what it can do for the network or the studio. He doesn't think anyone believes that Leno could do a 5 rating in that time slot but he believes a drama series could.
The series that could do it in fact could possibly be "Flash Forward" though McPherson doesn't state this. He does say however that he would like to have some of the success that "Lost" has had with this new show. "Flash Forward" he said was a spec that Goyer and his team had done for HBO. ABC he says wasn't trailing for a series like this but agrees that there are similarities in terms of the epic nature of the canvas and that of "Lost". However he believes that as "Flash Forward" evolves, the two series will be seen very differently.
McPherson says that the current next season comedy push on ABC with "Hank" and "Modern Family" was a conscious decision. He also states that "Romantically Challenged" will be back midseason possibly in a block with "Scrubs" and "Better Off Ted". He also admits they did cut budgets as is the norm right now.
He said there was some success with "Samantha Who" but the series never gained full traction. "Ugly Betty" is still going strong and was never cancelled. He says that there are still great plans for it and that it will stay in NY in terms of shooting for at least another year. In terms of "Grey's Anatomy", Katherine Heigl is back while he confirms that TR Knight has left. Ellen Pompeo will be out for a couple episodes while she is having her baby.
McPherson does think Shonda (the show runner on "Grey's" and "Private Practice") has hit her stride. He says the creative direction of "Practice" at the end of last year was a good lesson for him as an executive because he wasn't sure if the angle was going to work. He says though that Shonda pulled it off.
In thought of "Better Off Ted" (another severely underrated show with bite), McPherson says that summer was tough in general. He says that they have tabled a couple episodes of that series but would have liked a better performance from it. TV, of course, is not an easy game.
The Forgotten This series on a group of people who track down missing persons works a little differently than most Jerry Bruckheimer TV vehicles. While it is still forensic and procedural in nature, the characters in it, save for one, have day jobs.
Bruckheimer admits he loves mystery. Audiences, he believes, are enamoured with crimes and the solving of them. In terms of this series, it is about someone coming in and being a White Knight to these people who have lost someone. Christian Slater wasn't in the original pilot and actually was a late addition to the cast.
Jerry jokes that they couldn't find Slater at the beginning because he was somewhere in Russia (presumably Jerry making reference to Slater's now defunct NBC Show "My Own Worst Enemy"). Bruckheimer's thought is that Slater brings "versimilitude" to the series.
Slater, for his part, said that he enjoyed his time on "My Own Worst Enemy" but wasn't thinking about going back into TV right away. He half jokingly says that the deal came together in a locker room. His agent and Bruckheimer play on opposing teams in Bruckheimer's famous industry insider hockey league which is how the conversation started. Slater was interested in mystery in terms of form as he had started a year before reading three chapters a night of "Nancy Drew" to his daughter who influenced him with her excitement. That was initially the angle that he loved about "My Own Worst Enemy" because that was about a guy who was very human who had some phenomenally extraordinary experiences.
Exec Producer Marc Friedman says that the group of people in the series are amateurs in terms of their characters. Their focus is finding these people who have been lost. Fellow exec producer Jonathan Littman says that the show fulfills the same perspective as alot of crime dramas in that there needs to be closure.
Rochelle Aytes, who plays Detective Grace, offers an angled perspective of the team, saying that she is the closer for the Jane Does and is tough and passionate but she also keeps Alex (Christian Slater's character) from going downhill which indicates some interesting emotional challenges for the actor.
Danny Cannon (who directed the action film "Judge Dredd" and serves as one of the directors on the show as well as an exec producer) says what interested him in terms of the style of the show was being able to show "death backwards". For him the visual motif needed to have a spiritual structure in terms of seeing death through the eyes of these people and then, by contrast, a godlike element encroaching on the invesigators through these missing persons. If even a bit of what Cannon described can be created or filmed (and it is a possibility considering the achievements of CSI), this film could be Bruckheimer's next big hit.
Cougar Town The title of this series gets you off the bat especially since Courteney Cox is in it. She showed in the FX series "Dirt" that she was willing to go the distance for the jugular if need be. The woman had no fear. Matching her with Bill Lawrence, the cool and ultimately outspoken exec producer on both this and "Scrubs", is a grand time waiting to happen since Lawrence seems game for anything. He is a young exec at barely over 40 and still has that great enthusiasm and balls out approach which can translate into fascinating TV.
Lawrence starts off saying that we are still in a sexist and misogynistic society and that a series like "Cougar Town" has the possibility of alot of traps. The assumption is that the show would be written by guys but, in actuality, this one has a majority of female writers which he is very proud of. He jokes that they titled the show this way so they could set the bar low. He also says that in life he has heard both sides of the female perspective of the word, whether it be one of empowerment or not.
He admits he and his wife (who plays one of Courteney's friends in the series) are in their 40s as is Courteney (you can see Courteney wince). The hardest angle of network television in the current marketplace for Bill is making noise. If you do so people will be aware of the show. All you can do then is cross your fingers and see with the subsequent scripts if it is a show that works. He says that the age range between Courteney and her son on the show is respective to him and his father in real life as they are only separated by 20 years. The key to the proceedings with these kind of relationships is that Courteney can play discomfort exceedingly well.
Lawrence admits that he likes shows like "True Blood" and jokes that he enjoys watching the vampires' orgies of blood. However the key with television in any shape is that you shouldn't walk on the edge just for the sake of it. "Cougar Town" will be aired in a 9:30 timeslot and will have a warning on it. But, for him, it is truly about a character going after the world.
Seemingly a little nervous, Lawrence says that he rarely has this much trepidation with a show but that he doesn't want to fail Courteney. He was inspired by his wife in the gestation of some elements of the series, specifically in the pilot. His wife, now sitting only a couple feet from him, had just had their baby when the idea started to formulate. She was passing through the bathroom going to the shower and stopped and looked at herself in the mirror. She simply said "Fuck". That is such a clear and present concept for the idea, even though Lawrence's wife did seem a little embarrassed by his admission and telling of the story.
Lawrence continues that the zeitgeist would be to show something so age inappropriate. Courteney's character in the series says that "the bummer about being single at 40 is that al the men are broke, gay or dating younger girls". For Lawrence it was essential to create two characters as romantic leads in the series who had chemistry but had no interest in being together as a result of their recent divorces. Lawrence whispers like a ventriloquist to goad Cox about possibly having Jennifer Aniston guest on the show. Cox jokes that she doesn't discount it.
Lawrence also addresses, as is the norm this year, the aspect of NBC and the Leno influx into the 10pm slot since "Scrubs" was originally on that network. First and foremost, Bill comments: "Ben [Silverman] is not trying to destroy television …someone else is." He follows up saying that "it is sad for scripted TV but they [NBC] has created this onorous situation."
He then speaks to the new slate at ABC saying he wants more forward thinking which is apparent at this network. He thinks "Modern Family" is a kick ass sitcom and both "Flash Forward" and "Eastwick" are good shows. He says good TV is all about execution. He knows he is good at this and Courteney is good at this but nowadays there is a limited window to make a splash. He will market the show as much as possible. He even jokes that he will go get a tattoo on his chest for "Cougar Town" and suggests that we go to the bar right now. Lawrence is a force of nature and his enthusiasm is infectious.
Courteney Cox, by comparison, barely gets in a word since Lawrence by design is this hurricane of enthusiasm. Lawrence had said that Cox doesn't use a body double for her introduction scenes in the pilot. Cox, by contrast, makes the point that people don't look on TV the way they look in real life. In terms of the actual word "cougar", she says that it would be a great term if we knew the term for a man doing the same thing. A shout comes out from inside the room: "a man" (which gets a roar of laughter from everyone).
Cox says that 'Cougar Town" is not Samantha from "Sex & The City". She wanted to get back to comedy. She recalls being 40 and laying in bed with Coco (her daughter with husband David Arquette) right after she was born. She jokes "Should I give this [the baby] back to someone?" She says that getting older is harder anyway and says "it would be really scary if I wasn't married". She also mentions that Aniston is making a movie called "Pumas". The joke that ends the panel is that a "puma" is a cougar in her 30s. And the laughs keep on coming.
Eastwick Doing a TV update of the classic movie from 1987 is fraught with either possibility or challenge depending on how it is done. The aspects here are workable but not quite focused yet. The show runner hints at some crossover, hints to the mythology and also the casting of original cast member Veronica Cartwright as a mystery character.
Maggie Friedman, the show runner, specifies that they wanted to appeal to both the female and the male demographic but that they didn't want to copycat "Desperate Housewives" but still would like some of their viewership. She pays reverence to the original movie starring Jack Nicholson as "iconic" but says that it was very much of its time. The characters here are quite different.
In the 1987 movie, the magic of the female characters are very efemeral according to Maggie. Here, by contrast, there is a very specific reason for each woman's powers. Veronica Cartwright, who played a different character in the original movie, is back as a different character who may or may not be a former witch. Friedman says she loves Veronica's scream which got a lot of wear and tear in the first "Alien" movie as well.
The town of Eastwick was rebuilt on the Warner Ranch in Burbank, just blocks away from the lot with Maria Caso doing the production design. For Maggie, she has the storylines planned out in tandem. The first year plan addresses the theme of empowerment but follows the structure of Darryl (that horny little devil) coming in and seducing the women and the town. There will most certainly be winks and homages to the film she promises. Maggie teases that the character that Cartwright plays might in fact be one of the witches from the 80s since it is the same town and 20 years have passed. Maybe Darryl was actually in this Eastwick in a different form back then. For her, it is all about metaphors.
Maggie also teases that Cybill Shepherd might play one of the other witches from back then as well. But it all has to have motivation. An example she uses in terms of the magic crossed with the character structure is that Joanna can hypnotize other people. This keys into the aspect that her character's true nature is shy and quiet and needs to learn to stand up for herself. This magic allows her to do. It is like it knows what she wants which for them is their allure to Darryl. The unspoken truth is that Darryl needs them infinitely more than they need him but they need to be able to harness their power.
Maggie addresses the input of John Updike, the original author of the book, who she was able to speak to before he died. He however knew that the concept was being made into a TV show. The writing staff, like "Cougar Town" is distinctly mixed, with six women to six men which should allow for an interesting dichotomy of stories. Maggie believes that the show will definitely appeal to men since Darryl is living a fantasy.
For his part as Darryl, the devil, Paul Cross chose this as his first part in an American show after much time overseas. He is seemingly suited to the task. Like Pierce Brosnan was to Sean Connery in Bond so is Paul to Jack in this role. Cross admits that there are many kinds of devils but keys in with a bit of fun that "my powers are limitless" which means he can do anything. He has got a little bit of flack about his hair but they found a balance, a small price to pay.
In terms of being compared or playing Jack, he says Jack is "like Mount Rushmore" and there is no comparison. You can't climb that kind of performance but Paul thought he could bring something slightly different to this part and could really do something with it. And he saw the upside: His character knows everything. His character runs the world. He gets to work with amazingly beautiful women. Plus he had no idea how he was going to do it. Sounds like a plan.
The girls by contrast saw a degree of clarity within their ambitions.
Rebecca Romijn, who recently had twins with husband Jerry O'Connell, jumped into the fray 8 weeks after she delivered as the character of Roxie. Like Demi Moore in "'Indecent Proposal", this coud be a real boon to the part since it adds another texture that could be quite interesting. The twins were on set with her most of the time. Now O'Connell is taking some time off to be with them while Rebecca is working on this. She says the part by design is a bit of a double edged sword. She takes on the Cher role in her mind in terms of the coven of witches. She was a big fan of the movie when it came out since she was a teenager. She distinctifies that this character is the closest to her real personality that she has ever played.
The other two witches also have distinctiveness and perception to who their witches are and what they will become. Lindsay Price, who plays Joanna, also agrees that this character is very close to her own personality. In playing the Susan Sarandon role in glasses and a bun, she admits to her own awkwardness, even though in front of me she looks like a stunner. And, on screen, she is even more alluring like one of teachers in Van Halen's "Hot For Teacher" video.
Jamie Ray Newman, by comparison, says her character Kat (the Michelle Pfieffer role) went from being a teenager to a mom and is in denial of her powers even though hers is the most dynamic visually. Kat is a character that loves safety and security and her new situation flies in the face of everything she believes because the devil made her do it.
V There had been talk for many years of the retelling of this 80s miniseries into a full fledged series. What seemed to make the gelling finally click was the critical success of "Battlestar Galactica" which took the different themes of terrorism and placed them in a sci-fi conundrum. "V" does the same thing in many ways. Another parallel is that Zoic Studios who did a lot of the FX work on "Galactica" in their early seasons is working on this as well. The first announcement which made the cast distinctly earnest was the fact that they premiere November 3rd at 8pm.
Exec producer Scott Peters (who worked on "The 4400") said that in moving forward they didn't want to stop the original themes in addition with blending the modern elements of a post 9/11 world. Because of the writers' strike, the show was developed over a long period of time. The key became apparent in the news of everyday where people were searching for change.
The sell of the show began to be "What if aliens showed up and could solve all our problems?" The key is that in that these kind of shows, idealogy needs to remain open to interpretation. He says that they are very sure of where the storylines are going for the first and second seasons as well as where the end lies. They did meet with Kenneth Johnson (the miniseries creator) but admitted that this is a brand new take.
In terms of effects, they are approaching the interior of the ship with virtual world technology which allows the camera to move around within the space while making every angle and perspective different. This, Peters hopes, wows the audience on a weekly basis since they will be visiting the ships in every episode. However, he does admit that they are shooting in Vancouver and not NY but believes that the difference will not be noticable.
Elizabeth Mitchell, best known as Juliet on "Lost", was intrigued by her character Erica on "V". She likes traditional heroes and had never gotten to play one before. She says that she was on a panel with Sigourney Weaver a while back who had said that she always in these sorts of pictures picks the men's roles. Mitchell had watched the original in the 80s as well. In perspective to "Lost", she says that she is going back to shoot in Hawaii but cannot say if she is dead or alive considering what happened in the final moment of last season.
Morena Baccarin plays Anna, the smooth and elegant alien who is able to disarm the human race. There is something otherworldly about her. Baccarin says it is about being the face of what people want to see. She jokes that she did some research on being an alien but there is not much out there. The one thing in Anna she does see is the angle of her ambition.
In conclusion, exec producer Jeffrey Bell examines some of the elements that die hards might be looking for. He says when they talk to people, they hear about the rat and guinea pig moments with the lizards in the original miniseries. He agrees that they would be "morons" not to put those moments in but he also empahasizes that the agenda for the Vs is not what it was before.
By the end of the first season, the audience will have a full conception of the V's agenda. Bell says they want to keep the stories within the character's grounded lives. It is about freezing those frames of the emotional turmoil but also keying within the wish fulfillment element of it.
ABC Cocktail Party Within the Viennese Ballroom, the sushi became the mood enhancer. Talking off-the-cuff with Maggie Friedman who runs "Eastwick", she says that they are going to push the limit and get a little bawdy with some of the stories. The story structures of these elements are coming into play. She makes reference to a vibrator subplot that runs through an episode mid-season that really highlights the humor which is so necessary to a series like this. At this point, Paul Cross, ever playing the part as Darryl, walks over with a scotch in hand. He relishes the role and gets to be naughty. Maggie reinforces the element of wish fulfillment in "Eastwick" that will appeal to both male and female viewers.
Outside, after stealing a gliding glance from V's Morena Baccarin walking to the bar, "V" show runner Scott Peters talks about the essence of darkness within this incarnation of the show and why that balance will heighten the experience. HYe says they start shooting that following Monday in Vancouver first tweaking the pilot with some pick-ups before they start in on the new episodes. Mentioning Morena (whom I had just passed), Peters agrees that it is that kind of connection that will motivate the show. Tone, of course, in mentioning to him, is important. He says the writing staff reflects this with a couple people from 4400 but also some new blood. Score is also mentioned which is crucial. Peters says that they have hired Marco Beltrami who recently did "3:10 To Yuma" for that important task.
Heading inside towards the sushi bar, Nathan Fillion saunters to the bar, ever in his Castle role relishing the moment, while Stana Katic, who plays Detective Beckett, sits in the corner with her girlfriends conversing in a beautiful red dress which her character would scarsely be caught in at this point in the series.
The last interaction of the night was a welcome one in the form of the entire central cast of "Better Off Ted", one of the best new underrated shows of the season. Lead actor Jay Harrington (who plays Ted), there with his girlfriend Adriana reminds one of the mainstream version of Don Draper but with infinitely more humor. He admits that at the beginning it was hard talking to camera because the 4th wall can be a finicky thing. I say though that the charm and chemistry between him and his co-star Andrea Anders who plays Linda is palpable. Andrea sanders over in a stunning backless dress but with a shy awkwardness that befits her character. Oddly enough the person I thought was Andrea's publicist is actually Jonathan Slavin, who plays one of the scientists Phil. The transformation helped by make-up and some good acting chops is quite staggering. The other part of the duo: Malcolm Barrett (who plays Lem) comes over with a bit of stubble. Their real life personalities are so decidely different that you see the almost illicit balance that the show creates. From these four you can feel a family as they hang out and talk with me near the sushi bar.
Harrington says that they are going back to start shooting new episodes the following Monday which seems like a busy day for a lot of people. "Better Off Ted" deserves support (which I tell them) because the writing is sharp which they utterly appreciate. It is just a matter of steadying the course.
The essence of ABC continuing through this new fall season is one of interest and risk in storytelling but nonetheless one with major potential.

The unusually bright floor of an ancient crater at the Moon's south pole may be proof that over 20 per cent of it may be coated with water ice. Or not.
"There may be multiple explanations for the observed brightness throughout the crater," said Maria Zuber, the lead investigator of the team who authored a paper published Wednesday on Nature.com. "For example, newer material may be exposed along its walls, while ice may be mixed in with its floor."
Zuber and her fellow crater-studiers examined the two-mile-deep, 12.5-mile-wide crater – appropriately named Shackleton after the famed terrestrial South Pole explorer – using the Lunar Orbiter Laser Altimeter (LOLA) aboard NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO).
It was, to put it mildly, a thorough investigation. According to NASA's announcement of the research, LOLA made over five million elevation measurements with a vertical resolution of about a micron – a millionth of a meter – to determine Shackleton's structure.
"The crater's interior is extremely rugged," concludes Zuber. "It would not be easy to crawl around in there."
Elevation (left) and shaded relief (right) image of Shackleton (click to enlarge, or here for an enormous version)
In addition to being rugged, it's also frightfully cold – "cosmically cold" is how coauthor Gregory Neumann describes it. Being essentially coincident with the Moon's south pole, almost no sunlight reaches into Shackleton's depths, creating what the abstract to the paper calls "a perennial cold trap.
Shackleton is also an "unusually well-preserved simple crater," the paper notes, with a floor that is essentially the same as it was when it was formed over three billion years ago. What makes the floor interesting – and different from the floor of nearby craters – is its relative brightness.
Shackleton crater: false colors indicate height, with blue lowest and red/white highest
The paper offers two possibilities for Shackleton's brightness: the "most simply explained" reason would be that its lunar location and shadowy depth have limited what the paper refers to as "space weathering", keeping it in pristine condition over its lifetime.
The more-interesting conjecture, though, is that there's water ice on Shackelton's floor. But before you suggest that NASA sequester some of its moon-shot budget for astronaut ice skates, know that the amount of ice that the paper postulates is tiny: a layer of about one micrometre thick covering about 20 per cent of Shackleton's floor.
While the existence of an icy crater floor is still uncertain, one thing is incontrovertible: the LRO – with its laser altimeter, cosmic-ray telescope (CRaTER), radiometer (Diviner), mapper (LAMP), neutron detector (LEND), and camera (LROC) – is doing some excellent science.
Okay, so the LRO's Mini-RF radar was a bit of a bust – but not even the heaviest hitters bat a thousand. ®

Slavery in the Modern AgePosted by Mayerson JCC on April 14, 2016 | Share
The Exodus is one of the seminal biblical stories, and represents the approach of Passover. Themes of escape from slavery, freedom, justice and regained peace are heavily depicted in artistic imagery and discussion. But while the topic slavery has become viewed as archaic, 21st century slavery still has its talons in millions of people worldwide. It might look different,…

Will corporations still market to consumers at the end of the world? Designer Carl Bender certainly thinks so, and his series Anarkon imagines the sorts of products companies will try to sell consumers after the apocalypse, complete with pretty packaging.
Bender describes his collection of cleanly packaged, post-apocalyptic products as a comment on the way companies market to consumers and the eases with which buyers accept corporate messaging:
By presenting a fictitious worst-case scenario as genuine the Anarkon project questions the influence of corporate, branding and advertising power in a culture consumed by consumption. Its goal is to encourage citizens to examine their response to commercial messaging and to play a more active role in determining the limits of corporate power in American society.

Puppy dont pee in house, but does in box (crate)
As most of you know, i have an 9 week old puppy golden retriever/black lab mix. She is doing awesome with house training. But at night time, alot of times she barks when she wants out to potty, we take her out. But some nights she dont bark and let us know at all shes gotta potty. Of a morning we go to get her out to go potty and she has wet all in her box. I dont understand. she dont potty in the house, but she does in her box. The only time shes in her box, is at night time (bedtime) and if were unable to watch her for a certain reason. Why is she wetting in her box at night. She doesnt let us know when she wants out. She does, but not all the time. Its not our faults either, cause were sleeping and she dont let us know she wants out sometimes. what can i do. We clean her box out with enzme cleaner when she wets in her box, and put clean towel in her box. What can or should we do??? We also remove her food and water after 6 oclock, so she doesnt have access to her water at nightime. Why is she doing this. Why isnt she letting us know shes gotta potty???
Am I nuts or did you ask this already?
At 9 weeks she is very much a baby.. you can't really rely on her to wake you up.
The only thing I could suggest is setting an alarm clock and getting up and taking her out. Set it for the time that she usually wakes you up. Eventually she will realize that she has to tell you everytime she needs to potty.
I'd say I wouldn't expect a 2 years old human baby to wake me up each time she wants to go to the toilet during the night... please give her a chance and let her grow a little bit ! She's just a baby ! :love:
I concur with the others- she is just a baby and depends on you (just as your human baby might at this stage tho your human baby might cry and you would hear it(the crying) and thus her but canine babies are a little different ) Please give her lots of TLC, LOTS of time and LOTS of patience - this will take time and love on your part!!! You cannot possibly expect a baby to wake you up - she does not know she is supposed to but in time she will if you teach her).
Good luck but give her lots of time and love and she will be be fine.

Also, limit her water before bed - I'm not saying don't allow her a drink, but don't let her drink ALOT. stay up as late as you can and take her out right before bed.
she's a baby, she will have accidents.
Well i guess it really is my fault huh!! What i am asking pretty much is, will this pass in time?? Ive seen alot of people say that puppies wont go in their boxes, but i challenge that question. She does every night. The last time she goes out for the night is around 1:00 a.m. The past few nights she hasnt whinned wanting out, but she usually does when shes gotta go. Thats why i didnt understand. She always lets us know at night when shes gotta pee, but the past couple nights she hasnt, she just pees in her box. So this will pass in time??? Is what im trying to say... I give her lots of applaus, she is doing sooooo awesome with house training. Still no accidents in the house (knock on wood) but were having the crate issue is all. Shes doing awesome with her command training, she just has issues on snapping the treat outta my hand and biting me at the same time. But other then that. Shes doing awesome. Im sooo proud of myself for sticking to it this time. Were gonna have an awesome relationship. We all lover her very very much. She livens up the home. She just recently started barking yesterday. First time we've heard her bark. Its sooo exciting and adventurous. I cant wait till she gets a bit older.
Where did you get her from and how did they keep her. Basically what I am asking is if they kept her in a crate that had a screen bottom that she could go to the washroom and it is supposed to fall through. I don't like this done at all because it makes it very difficult to crate train because they think from the start that it is ok to go inside the crate.
Did you clean out the whole crate and everything in it with the enzyme cleaner?
Set your alarm for 3 different times through the night and take her out. If she continues to go every night in the crate it will become very difficult to stop. It is one of the hardest things to control and stop once it becomes a habit.
She is a baby and babies have accidents but you will want to do whatever you can to control the number of them. Make going outdoors much more exciting than going inside. Get very excited and treat when she does right.
Most dogs do not want to go in the place where they sleep. The ususal reasons why they would is when the crate is too large and she can sleep in one area without touching where she had her accident and when she is left in the crate longer than what she can physically hold.

From my experiences, I can tell you this WILL pass!!
Gomez was the same in the beginning, he went in his box, no matter how many times we took him out - his crate was not too big, not too small, we had him measured, etc... he just sometime had to go and he just went - at one point we were taking him out 10-15 times during the day and night -
However, he was not fully housebroken til he was 5-6 months - you have a few more tough months ahead of you, but stay on top of him, it's really worth it in the long run!
Usually puppies can hold their bladder for 1 hour for every month of their lives, at 9 weeks, your puppy can hold it for maybe 2 hours, maybe!
Go puppy!
Norfolk Terrier, born 26/12/04
I got her from some people that were giving them away. I have no clue where or how the kept her.
When she potties, i clean out the bottom of the box, Am i supposed to clean the roof, and sides as well??? Cause i dont do that, just the bottom where she sleeps on.
You need to clean the whole box!!!! And clean it well because if she smells the stuff there, she may have decided this is one the places she can go. Unless you make a habit of taking her out and teaching her, she wil continue to do this. I woudl esp keep her close, like next to my bed (My pets always slept with me and there were rarely accidents but I've never used a crate either.) They do seem to be effective in training but not as a place for a puppy to spend huge ants of time in - why do you want her there at night? I know some ppl do it but the crate has pillows and blankets and toys and is next to the bed or on it. I am not an expert in care training tho but have trained many dogs - my beagle was the most difficult, lol - but I finally got him to where he would do it on schedule or when we walked. We started with puppy pee pads and worked from tghere- Usually, animals never soil where they sleep unless they are desperate and just cannot hold it so you will need to find a way to either have her not sleep there (Maybe she can sleep with you and then you will know when she needs to go - she is after all a baby!!!)

Hi I know with us our puppy never went in her crate but would go on carpet when we lifted carpet she stopped going on it....I agree with needing to take her out every couple hours plus limiting her eating and drinking long before she (all) goes to bed. we also started with smaller crate but also had a small bed in it for her to sleep on

Hangover Helper: Fried Chicken Benedict at Highland Bakery, Atlanta
Just what the doctor ordered.
Here's the thing: just about everything on the menu at Highland Bakery could be a hangover helper. The plethora of grits, biscuits, eggs, and generally overflowing plates of delicious food make it a paradise for the hungover and the hungry. But if, hypothetically, you overindulged in mint juleps last night, having convinced yourself that drinking them is an important cultural activity while visiting the South, there is one dish on the menu at Highland that calls your name: the Fried Chicken Benedict ($10.99).
Yep, a Southern interpretation of the traditional brunch dish Eggs Benedict. The base is classic: two poached eggs which release their runny yolks when jabbed with a fork. But instead of Hollandaise, the eggs are liberally topped with a jalapeno cheddar sauce that almost overflows the plate. The sauce is rich and creamy yet not too thick—its texture remains almost identical to traditional hollandaise. The jalapeno isn't aggressive; it has a spiciness that slowly grows as you work your way through the dish.
The next twist is the kicker. Instead of two slices of Canadian bacon there are two pieces of fried chicken, a decision that made me both incredibly happy and incredibly curious as to whether fried chicken is so ubiquitous in the South that people treat it with the nonchalance of sliced deli meat. My only complaint was that under the onslaught of cheese sauce and egg yolk, the fried chicken lost its crisp outer shell.
Finally, instead of an English muffin there is a toasted biscuit, and instead of homefries, a shockingly large pile of fluffy, creamy grits.

Journal Article
Designing for Innovation or Adaptation: The Symmetry, Syntopy and Synchrony of Boundary Spanning Partnerships pp149-156
© Nov 2003 Volume 1 Issue 2, Editor: Fergal McGrath, pp1 - 226
Look inside Download PDF (free)
The Internet is enabling a new economy based on the networking of human knowledge. While the benefits of using I.T. to connect people to people and people to information within a business are commonly understood, much less is known about the advantages of well‑managed partnerships across corporate boundaries. Building on the findings of a recent study of knowledge creating collaborations (Gadman and Cooper 2003), and the growing interest in Open Source Software development communities, (Von Hipple and Von Krogh 2003), (Cole and Lee 2003), this paper addresses the importance of selecting the most appropriate collaborative strategy to meet business needs and the challenges of managing relationships which often span organizational cultures and boundaries. The findings are relevant to any company that depends on the free flow of ideas among smart people and provides a lens through which we can learn and discover new and creative possibilities for the future.

Abducted By Aliens, I Was!
Where le hell have I BEEN, you ask? Or, maybe you're relieved that I've been away. I wanted to say I was abducted by aliens, but upon searching the interwebs - I see this has been done ad nauseam.
To be honest, Thanksgiving unexpectedly blasted upon me - without any warning whatsoever (rude). How did we indulge our gluttonous bellies? Tony made his first turkey, so that was rather fun - we thought it would be difficult, but it was quite easy. I don't eat meat, so I had king crab - it was HEAVEN, it was glorious. For side dishes, we made our insanely delicious garlic mashed potatoes (they have pecorino in them, OH come to MAMA) and stuffed portobello mushrooms. It was the first time we tried the mushroom recipe - and we nearly lost the small amount of sanity we cling to, they were SO FECKIN' GOOD, people! And for dessert later that evening, after we donned our expandable pants: individual molten lava cakes, but of course.
As for the rest of my absentia, I'm hosting our office holiday party at our house this Friday evening - so that has kept me plotting, planning, and stressing abnormally and unneccessarily. We hosted it last year too, so I shouldn't be so nervy about it - but that's my nature. God forbid I should go about this with a relaxed nature. WHO WOULD I BE THEN? WHAT WOULD PEOPLE SAY ABOUT ME?
Well, they'd say that I was abducted by aliens, for crap sake. And now I've come full circle.
So, after the craziness passes - I shall be back with desserts and more nonsense with which to bother you. As alluded to in an earlier post, the dogs will be guest blogging as well. The delay in that venture is because Wylie has a new furcut and he is insisting on a photo shoot for his blog photo, so alas - it is yet another thing on my To Do list. At any rate, I hope those of you who celebrate Thanksgiving had a merry one, and that all of you are surviving the craziness of the holiday season.

Bring on Wylie and Marcel! And the building right next to my office is the new home of the New York center for Astrobiology so I have spent the last week staring out my window fully expecting a UFO to land. Perhaps the aliens can drop you off here. We'll have a drink in your space suit!

There you are! I assumed it was an extra long tryptophan-induced nap. But king crab turned my theory on its head.
Sounds like a yummy Thanksgiving! Glad you're back!

Lisa said it! I've been checking and checking, too. (As if I didn't already need a shrink.) Thanks for making me smile with news of your Thanksgiving and the dog blogging to come. I know your holiday party will be fabulous, my dear. Wish I was coming. For the record, I baked a chicken for Thanksgiving, threw in a few potatoes and carrots, and called it a turkey dinner.

I am having a party tonight. I do NOT try out new recipes when I'm having parties - in fact, I don't try ANY recipes. I'm having a dessert buffett, and everything has been purchased from Costco and local bakeries. I am a firm believer of sticking to my limitations. But I would maybe like to try the stuffed mushroom cap recipe...are you posting it?
Happy holidays!

Uugghhh... office parties! Almost as hard as hosting family, but these people will see you again on Monday. No pressure. ;)
We used to do a totally non traditional Thanksgiving and would go dine on the beach at a local surf and turf restaurant. I always had lobster. My older kids started getting annoyed and insisted on a traditional turkey day. *sigh*

Welcome to the course Using Tarot for Successful Decisions. I will teach you to use the tarot major arcana cards for quick and powerful guidance when you are in a tricky situation and need an answer now. You will not need to divulge personal information or pay someone to help you decide.
My name is Elsabe Smit. I've been practising as a psychic for clients all over the world for over twenty years. I'm also the published author of ten Kindle and audio books on various aspects of spirituality on Amazon – and more to come. I've studied tarot because I was curious about lots of information I received via psychic readings. I wanted to confirm the information because I'm also a sceptic and wanted to find physical proof of what I was telling clients.
This course will explain to you how you can make better decisions by referring to tarot major arcana cards. You will learn the difference between major and minor arcana tarot cards. Each card you draw will have a clear message for you. When you follow the message, you will discover what's holding you back, and deal with any obstacles. You will also find some new and different solutions to difficult problems that often take time to resolve, where the is no single right answer.
These are the skills you will have at the end of the course:

To Kill or Not to Kill All the Lawyers? That Is the Question
Attorneys Object to Interpretation of Shakespeare's Line; 'Not a Slur'
The inscription on a novelty mug for sale at the Shakespeare Theatre Company's gift shop in Washington always gets a rise out of veteran trial lawyer David Epstein.
It isn't the line itself: "The first thing we do, let's kill all the lawyers." It is that so few people see it his way: The Bard wasn't knocking lawyers, much less endorsing a litigicidal rampage, he says, but defending them.

"These Berliner mics are light years ahead of the Studio Projects C4."Now that is a goofy staement. I've tested the c4 against some wonderful mics, they hold their own. From the samples I've listened too, these berliners are no akg480. I've rarely heard a pair of mics that are "light years" better than anything. I'd be willing to bet that you couldn't pick out a berliner recording if it were on the same stand as a pair of C4's. I'd even be willing to bet that a cheap pair ok karma k10's would not be distinguishable. This is esspecially true for pa concert recordings. I think we have another "discount mic of the month" on our hands here. Its happened with c4's, pelusos and oktava's before that. They are all a good value,but none if them are light years better than each other and none are going to replace akg or scheops. There is no doubt that these chinese mics will depreciate like a used car over time. You will see the real mics hold their value. This is a better indication of performance and value than any comment on taperssection.
You don't think people would be able to tell the difference between a pair of C4s, Berliners and Karma K10s? Well, you're wrong...at least as far as I'm concerned.
QuoteYou don't think people would be able to tell the difference between a pair of C4s, Berliners and Karma K10s? Well, you're wrong...at least as far as I'm concerned.We will have to agree to disagree! The root of my point was that "light years apart" isn't a good descriptor of the differences between the aformentioned mics.
I'll try to get some better (read in-focus) close-ups tomorrow. In the meantime, check 370 and 371 for some I posted years ago.http://flipp.home.telepath.com/CM33/Probably not gonna open them up anytime soon.
Screw your kitchen noises test and listen to the results of using them with a good preamp and garden variety mini recorder to record a show. That's what most people on this board are using mics for. Live concert recording.

Look, we live in Georgia, okay? People love them some John McCain here, and go out of their way to let Obama supporters know it. With a LOT of gigantic yard signs. And bumper stickers, too. And they tend to say a lot of ridiculous things about Barack Obama, obviously within earshot of their kids, because these little pint-sized, tart-mouthed Republicans have been climbing on the school bus and strutting into the classrooms, saying all kinds of foul things to black children—mine included. Just yesterday, my 9-year-old tells me, a kid in her class told her he "hopes Obama gets assassinated."
I wish he was just engaging in some 9-year-old silliness and that his words were not the reflection of the views of his parents. But something tells me the 'rents are probably sitting around the kitchen table, saying all kinds of foul things in front of their kids and letting the feelings their words ratchet up go unchecked. Don't we have the responsibility to arm our children with thoughtful, intelligent, age-appropriate information so that they can learn how to parse ideas and express themselves in meaningful ways? I mean, anything less means we're falling down on our jobs.
Luckily, my fourth grader, Mari, is quick witted—she's got skills. She simply dismissed her classmate as an idiot and told him he should prepare himself to call Obama "Mr. President" come next week. (*I dab at my eyes, sniff, and smile proudly*) My nephews Miles and Cole recently had their own glorious moment on the school bus:
6th grade Republican girl: Why does your family support Obama, since he takes from the rich and gives to the poor?
My 4th grade nephew, Miles: That's not true. But if it were, would that be a problem?
Republican girl: You should have a problem with it—you're rich. How many poor people have a pool in their backyard?
Miles: We're not rich—we're middle class. And the rich are in a better position to help the poor.
Republican girl: Well, Obama won't be a good president for the country.
Miles: It was a Republican president who caused the country to be poor and led us to war in Iraq.
Republican girl (obviously flustered): Yeah? Well Obama's ears are so big that he could be an elephant and become a Republican.
Miles: Well McCain's cheeks are so puffy that he doesn't even need his private jet—he could just fly himself.
Cole, Miles's 6-year-old brother, who couldn't resist getting in on the action: "Look up in the sky, it's a bird, it's a plane, no—it's the same McCain!"
Mark my words on this one: Mari, Miles and Cole, and my other daughter, Lila, equally brilliant, are going to be runnin' thangs one of these days—maybe even the United States of America.
Today is the last day that early voters can pull the lever in Georgia, as it is in many other states that allow early voting. No matter whose corner you're in, no matter what party you support, no matter which candidate you prefer, please go vote. If not today, then most certainly on Nov. 4th. It's your right. It's your duty. It's for our beautiful babies.

As I write this, I am in Peru visiting with the Missionary Society of St. James the Apostle, as they celebrate their 50th anniversary. Accompanying me on the trip are a number of Boston priests who are either currently serving or have served the Society in the past, including Bishop Bob Hennessey. Since I have only recently arrived, I will wait and share the full experience with you in my next week's post.
Before I begin this week's entry, I'd like return briefly to the subject of last week's post. If you recall, I wrote last week about a retreat I gave for Denver seminarians at the St. Malo center in the Rocky mountains. This group photo we took at the end of the retreat just arrived earlier this week and I wanted to share it with you.
– – –
From Denver I flew to the Washington D.C . area to meet up with the Boston archdiocesan pilgrimage to the 35th annual March for Life.
The "Pilgrims for Life" group left Brighton Sunday morning
after celebrating Mass at Bishop Peterson Hall
Our first event together was on Sunday. I celebrated an evening of prayer, praise and adoration with the pilgrims from Boston and Fall River at Bishop O'Connell High School in Arlington, Virginia.
The Boston group, all high school students, were accompanied by several priests: Father Dan Hennessey, Father Michael Harrington, Father Michael Nolan and Father Matt Williams. In all, around 450 high schools students and their chaperones participated at the vigil.
The group included students from Catholic Memorial in Boston, Pope John XXIII in Everett, St. Mary in Lynn, Presentation of Mary Academy in Methuen, Arlington Catholic, Malden Catholic, Fontbonne Academy in Milton, Nazareth Academy in Wakefield, Cathedral High school in Boston, Trinity Catholic in Newton. Traveling with them were members of the young adult group from Immaculate Conception in Marlboro, the Franciscan Sisters Minor in Bellingham, a group of adults from Sacred Heart in Malden and a group of musicians from the LIFT program. A reporter from the Pilot also traveled with the group. You can read her article on the trip in this week's Pilot by clicking here.
I gave a talk to the young people about the importance of their presence there and reflected about the experience of being Catholic in today's world.
The Arlington Catholic Herald, the newspaper of the diocese, printed a nice story about our gathering. You can read it on the newspaper's website.
I have always encouraged young people, both when I was the bishop in Fall River and now in Boston, to be a part of the March for Life. It is an opportunity for them to live their faith and to experience the testimony of thousands of other young Catholics who are there with them, all enthused about being Catholic and defending the Gospel of Life.
The following day, the group visited some of the historic sites of Washington as well as some of the places of interest for our Catholic faith.
The group at the Lincoln memorial
In the evening, we joined in the Vigil Mass that was celebrated at the Basilica Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Washington. Bishops, cardinals, priests, permanent deacons, seminarians and thousands of religious and lay people participated in the Mass. This event is always a very important part of the March for Life.
The Basilica was packed
The Knights of Columbus from Boston were there accompanying us and, I am proud to say, they sponsored the trip for all our seminarians.
The Mass was presided over by Cardinal Justin Rigali, Archbishop of Philadelphia, who also preached at the Mass. The choir was, of course, spectacular. The presence of so many young people was very, very encouraging.
The next day we participated at the rally that took place at the Verizon Center sport arena.
The center holds about 20,000 people and it was full. Archbishop Wuerl, the Archbishop of Washington, presided at the Mass and a young black priest from Washington preached, which I thought was a very appropriate way of marking Martin Luther King Day. He gave a lovely reflection on the pro-life theme.
In the center of the arena, organizers placed all the seminarians present at the rally, around 600 of them, coming from all over the country. That was a wonderful witness. At one point, Archbishop Wuerl asked all the seminarians to stand up and they received a standing ovation from all the young people. It was an affirmation of our seminarians and, at the same time, an invitation to young people to consider a life of service and ministry in the Church.
From there, we went to a stage prepared on the National Mall to accommodate the speakers and community leaders at the March for Life.
President Bush sent a recorded message and there were messages from several politicians, including presidential candidate John McCain.
Many politicians were also present, including Senator Brownback whom I recently met in Boston at this year's Red Mass. There were also many religious leaders — Jewish rabbis, Greek Orthodox prelates and ministers from different evangelical communities as well as many Catholic bishops. After the speeches, the group marched to the Supreme Court.
The march was very well attended, around 200,000 people. The day before the march, the Washington Post printed an article about the Catholic college students who come from around the country to participate in the march. It seems that some in the secular media are beginning to recognize the fact that the young Catholics are on board with the Gospel of Life and that this issue is not going to go away.
– – –
For the photo of the week, I have chosen this group photo of the Boston seminarians and youth pilgrims taken at the Verizon Center before the March for Life. Their witness is encouraging. I also thank all of you who offered your prayers of support for the march. Let us all continue to pray that every life is respected from the moment of conception to the moment of natural death.
Cardinal Seán

for a postdoctoral position in Theoretical Computer Science.
KTH is the leading technical university in Sweden, with education and
research spanning from natural sciences to all branches of engineering
including architecture, industrial management and urban planning. The
Theory Group at KTH (http://www.csc.kth.se/tcs/) offers a strong research
environment covering a wide range of research topics such as complexity
theory and approximation algorithms, computer and network security,
cryptography, formal methods and natural language processing. The group
has a consistent track record of publishing regularly in the leading
theoretical computer science conferences and journals worldwide, and the
research conducted here has attracted numerous international awards and
grants in recent years.
We are seeking a postdoc for the research project "Understanding the
Hardness of Theorem Proving" in the area of proof complexity with
connections to SAT solving.
This project aims to advance the frontiers of proof complexity, and to
leverage this research to shed light on questions related to SAT solving.
We are particularly interested in exploring the possibility of basing SAT
solvers on stronger proof systems than are currently being used. In order
to do so, however, a crucial step is to obtain a better understanding of
the corresponding proof systems, and in this context there are a number of
well-known and relatively longstanding open questions in proof complexity
that we want to study and try to solve. Since proof complexity has turned
out to have deep, and sometimes surprising, connections to other areas
such as, e.g., circuit complexity, communication complexity, and hardness
of approximation, the project could potentially also involve research in
these or other related areas. A more detailed description of the project
can be found at http://www.csc.kth.se/~jakobn/project-proofcplx.
The project is led by Jakob Nordström (http://www.csc.kth.se/~jakobn) and
is financed by a Breakthrough Research Grant from the Swedish Research
Council and a Starting Independent Researcher Grant from the European
Research Council. The group currently consists of one postdoctoral
researcher and two PhD students (in addition to the project leader).
Travel funding is included, and the group also receives short-term and
long-term visitors on a regular basis.
This is a full-time employed position for one year with a possible
one-year extension. The successful candidate is expected to start at the
latest in August-September 2013, although this is to some extent
To receive full consideration, applications should be received by January
14, 2013. More information and instructions how to apply can be found at
http://www.csc.kth.se/~jakobn/openings/D-2012-0444-Eng.php. Informal
enquiries are welcome and may be sent to Jakob Nordstrom.

The Link Center for the Arts of the Information Age invites you to submit proposals for its ongoing book series "In My Computer". Deadline: January 15, 2014
One's computer is a repository of valuable things that, for some reason, never went public: unpublished projects, drafts, short notes, private emails, unreleased interviews and texts, tales, poems, quotes, image or spam email collections, whatever.
If you think this content may be significant also for a wider audience and may work well in book form, the book series "In My Computer" may be the right jar for your jam.
"In My Computer" is a series of books collecting unpublished material available in your computer, produced by Link Editions and available for free download in digital form and in printed form through the print-on-demand (POD) service Lulu.com and Amazon.com. The concept wants to give value to the contents stored on our computer, a personal archive that is, from time to time, a den for our researches, a private diary, a place of accumulation and storage of digital contents. Since the distinction between public and private, online and offline is becoming increasingly blurred, the series is open to contents circulated online in any form. In this perspective, the book is an extraordinary tool for the rematerialization of the ephemeral, for archiving the impermanent, and for ordering the digital chaos we are living in.
Link Editions (http://editions.linkartcenter.eu/) is a publishing initiative of the Link Center for the Arts of the Information Age. Link Editions uses the print on demand approach to create an accessible, dynamic series of essays and pamphlets, but also catalogues and artist books. A keen advocate of the idea that information wants to be free, Link Editions releases its contents free of charge in .pdf format, and on paper at a price accessible to all. Link Editions is a not-for-profit initiative and all its contents are circulated under an Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported (CC BY-NC-SA 3.0) license. More info: http://www.linkartcenter.eu/.
Application guidelines:
1. The applicant is invited to send, via e-mail to the address email@example.com before January 15, 2014, the application in a single file (doc or pdf), filled with:
1. a short concept (max 2000 chars);
2. a short author bio (max 1000 chars);
3. other materials (images, sample pages, excerpts) or links to other materials that can be useful for a better understanding and evaluation of the submitted work.
The application should be submitted in English.
2. "In My Computer" is an "artist books" series, but it is also open to proposals from theoreticians, designers and other creatives, provided that what they are submitting is not an essay or a collection of essays (for which Link Editions has a dedicated series, "Clouds", also open to submissions).
3. After the deadline, Link Editions' editorial staff will select the proposals we want to publish along 2014, and will announce the result of the selection process by the end of February 2014. Link Editions reserves the right not to select a specific number of applications, but to decide how many proposals to select on the basis of the quality and viability of the proposals.
4. The winning projects will be published by Link Editions along 2014. Link Editions' editorial staff will cooperate with the author in the work on the layout, while the cover will follow the design of the other books in the series. The book can take any shape compatible with POD's production and distribution standards. (cf. http://bit.ly/jgcZxS).

Dr. Grumpy: "Have they changed since the building was painted?"
Mrs. Hedake: "No. Same type as before."
Dr. Grumpy: "Then why do you feel the paint has affected them?"
Mrs. Hedake: "Because I think they'd have gone away if they hadn't painted it."
