Numbers Up For Falmouth Boys' Lacrosse
By: Rich Maclone, March 28, 2014
When talent and numbers converge, good things usually follow. Falmouth High School boys' lacrosse coach Rory Morse believes that his Clippers may have a year where that happens.
The numbers are definitely up for the boys' program. Close to 60 potential players came out for tryouts this year. Cut-down day was not easy for Morse, not just because no one likes to have to send players down, but because he had some legitimately difficult decisions to make as he put together his roster. "It's a good problem to have," Morse said. "There are some really good kids in this program, and we've got talent coming up. The young kids are pushing the older ones."
The young players certainly will be heard from as time goes by, but this year's FHS roster will be mostly senior-centric. The Clippers have experience all over the field and are hoping to find themselves near the top of the Atlantic Coast League standings when all is said and done.
Morse said that he expects Marshfield and Sandwich to be the class of the league, based on what they have coming back and what they've done in the past. MHS went undefeated in the league a year ago, and lost just one starter. Sandwich also has a lot of returning talent.
Although Morse believes the Rams and the Knights are the top dogs heading into the season, he doesn't think the Clippers can't overtake them. "There's no reason we can't finish at the top, but it goes through those two," the coach said.
FHS has experienced players in every facet of the game. The defense could be their strongest asset, with a unit that will be led by University of Massachusetts Lowell bound Jacob Castiglioni. The talented longstick defender will draw the other team's top player each game and try to make that guy's life difficult for 48 minutes.
Other senior longstick defenders that will all see time on the field include Caleb Brown, Matt Leader, Isaiah Lineaweaver, and Will O'Connor. Brown brings strong footwork and physicality to the field. Leader is experienced and athletic, while Lineaweaver is physical and good with his stick. O'Connor, after a year away from the team, is playing like he never missed a beat.
Senior Tyler Kelly-Manning, who ran out of the midfield last year, will be a defensive midfielder this year. His speed and strength are his biggest assets. Kelly-Manning will also be a part of the face-off team.
Also expected to see time with the varsity on defense are sophomore Patrick Callahan and junior Seth Heywood. Both earned late season call-ups from the JV last year and will be fighting for time. Junior Curtis Brown, a strong all-around athlete, is also in the mix.
Falmouth's midfield is another big time strength for the club, starting with senior Cody Garcia. A hip injury kept Garcia from reaching his full potential a year ago, and he still made the league's all-star team and was among the top scorers on the club. He's playing as if he never missed a beat and is hoping to finish his high school career with a flourish.
Another top scorer from last year's team, and a leader on the field, is senior Robbie Souza. After a standout hockey season, Souza is expected to keep putting up big numbers. Arlin Moore, a junior, is a very skilled midfielder that is capable of big numbers as well for the Clippers. Zack Cappellini, a senior, saw a lot of playing time last year and is expected to pick up where he left off.
Junior Andy Franks was in the midfield last year, but will be used as a midfielder this season. Junior Andrew Parkinson also was in a defensive role last year, but will run in the midfield. Juniors Matt Katon, Sam Bluestein and Marc Rocheleau are all fighting for varsity playing time in the midfield as well. Sophomore Ellis Densmore sat out last year with an injury. He was on the varsity at Falmouth Academy as an 8th grader and is a solid defensive midfielder. Senior Ryan Rocci will be one of the Clippers' top face-off men.
Up front on attack, Zack Barrett leads the charge. Barrett was third on the squad in total points last year and should be near the top this year again. Matt White, another senior, battled for playing time last year and finds himself in the starting lineup in 2014.
Junior Griffin Morse finds himself in a tough position as the head coach's younger brother. Coach Morse said that Griffin is held to the highest standard and he's impressed with how his younger sibling had dealt with that. "He's a good ball distributor, he sets the other guys up really well," the coach said. Griffin Morse saw less playing time than he would have liked a year ago, but maximized it and still put up some good numbers.

Hard-nosed Sam Walker will give FHS a grinder in front of the net. Walker plays with physicality and grit. Jared Tallino, a junior, has worked hard to earn a spot. Fellow junior CJ DeMello is another big, strong kid with a nice shot.
A trio of freshmen are battling to make the varsity roster, and all have very bright futures ahead of them. The young troika of Alex Manos, Jack Edgar and Nolan Enneguess all have varsity-level talent. Morse said that they'll be brought along in a way that can "maximize their talent going forward."
As the season readies to begin, there's a battle for the goalie position between three players. Senior Mike Gage, junior Caleb Strom and freshman George Armstrong are all vying for the No. 1 keeper spot. Coach Morse said that as opening day approaches on March 31 against Barnstable that all three will have had a chance to state his case on the field. "Whoever is best will get the job," the coach said.

The Canadian Press - ONLINE EDITION
Most vulnerable homes protected, flood crest bears down on southern Manitoba
Several days of frantic sandbagging is paying off in southern Manitoba as a crest of flood water is expected to pour through the region.
"Thanks to an absolutely incredible mobilization, we have gone from the scenario we saw just a few days ago to the point that we have now almost completed preparations for the crest," Emergency Measures Minister Steve Ashton said Tuesday.
"The next 48 hours are going to be critical."
A torrent of flood water from Saskatchewan is making its way through Manitoba now. The crest passed through Brandon, Man., on Sunday without topping the city's dikes or forcing evacuations.
Manitoba is expecting the Assiniboine River to rise to same levels as the 2011 flood — one of the worst in the province's history.
The surge prompted Manitoba Premier Greg Selinger to declare a state of emergency Friday and ask for military assistance to prepare homeowners.
Since then, hundreds of military members, reservists, provincial staff and volunteers have been preparing for the high water by making sandbags and shoring up dikes.
Roland Rasmussen, reeve of Cartier, said most of the 60 vulnerable homes in his area were protected and ready for when the crest of flood water is expected on Wednesday.
Downstream in St. Francois Xavier, reeve Roger Poitras said all the homes in his municipality should be OK.
"We feel pretty confident that everything is going to be fine," he said.
"Now, it's just to see how the river handles the flows and if the dikes are going to hold up well. We're confident and we've been told things should work out quite well."
Across the region, about 350 homes are considered vulnerable to the rising water — 150 of those could flood if the province decides to deliberately breach a dike at the Hoop and Holler Bend to take pressure off the dikes downstream.
Maj. Mike Legace said Canadian Forces members have been working around the clock and making roughly 100,000 sandbags a day, adding to the province's arsenal of one million sandbags.
On top of building up temporary dikes around vulnerable homes, military helicopters are surveying the region and troops have also shored up some weak spots along the province's dikes to prevent a breach.
"We're into our fourth day of the mission. There are a few sore backs but we haven't had any very serious injuries yet," Legace said.
"We're meeting the needs of what the province wants us to do, as best we can do it, and then we'll just start holding our fingers crossed and hope for the best."
The main focus for the government in the coming days is to see whether the dikes and diversion channels hold up against the surging water.
"We are clearly going to be as prepared as possible by noon tomorrow," Ashton said. "We are going to work around the clock to maintain our flood defences."
In Saskatchewan, emergency management commissioner Duane McKay said the forecast "is turning in our favour" as the province deals with the aftermath of heavy rain that fell more than week ago. But he also urged people not use some of the lakes in eastern Saskatchewan.
"We still are quite concerned for some of the safety of the people in particular areas that have seen some of the damages," said McKay.
"We'd remind individuals that there is a lot of debris in the lakes, specifically Crooked and Round Lakes, and so we would caution people using the water there that obviously some of the stuff is partly submerged and could create safety hazards for folks."
The Saskatchewan Ministry of Health also warned people to avoid swimming or bathing in lakes and rivers affected by flooding. It said samples taken in several locations show high levels of E.coli bacteria in the water.
Seventy-four eastern Saskatchewan communities remain under states of emergency and about 230 people were still out of their homes because of flooding.
Nearly 50 people were also to be moved out of the James Smith First Nation near Melfort on Tuesday because of flooding. More rain over the last few days was cutting off access, said McKay.
"They also have significant water accumulations in particular areas, so water's running into those low areas where the road is, so the ambulances, fire engines, police can't get in and out of those particular areas, which creates a bit of a risk for those that have health issues," he said.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Senate on Thursday passed a long-stalled measure that would boost lending to small businesses, giving President Barack Obama's Democrats one of their last chances to show voters they are working to revive the sluggish economy.
The 61 to 38 vote sends the measure back to the House of Representatives, which has passed a similar bill and is expected to quickly approve the Senate's version.

In Washington D.C., over 75% of teachers voted to ratify a new contract that gives teachers a 20% raise over five years, bases pay on performance rather than seniority, and allow for real adult accountability. It allows teachers to make up to $140,000 a year while ending the forced placement of teachers at schools they are not wanted and the seniority-only based layoff system that has devastated challenged schools in Los Angeles like Markahm Middle School.
In Colorado, the 1.5 million member American Federation of Teachers provided a crucial endorsement for a groundbreaking teacher effectiveness bill to transform the way teachers are evaluated and given tenure.
In New Haven, CT, union and district leadership have taken positive, collaborative steps towards kids-first change allowing for transformations of failing schools and the way teachers are evaluated.
In Los Angeles, high-quality charter operators such as Camino Nuevo and Green Dot have produced incredible student results with fully unionized teaching staffs. Both operators have agreed to reform union contracts with their teachers that allow for basic job protections and rights while still preserving adult accountability and common-sense, kids-first evaluation systems.
Parent Revolution believes that parents and teachers can march together on completely overhauling the way teachers are treated and evaluated in public education for one simple reason: you cannot have a great school without great teachers. Parents want teachers to be paid a lot more than they currently are to reward their hard work and attract top talent into the profession. Parents want teachers to be respected and freed to teach how they see fit, not micromanaged by some central bureaucrat who has never met their students or set foot in their classroom. But parents also want teachers to be held accountable for how well their students are taught and evaluated based at least in part on how much their students are learning. We can and should use a broad array of tools to evaluate our teachers, including cutting edge value-add data systems that track student learning over time and peer, principal, and parent evaluations. It is past time that we started treating teachers like the professionals they are, rather than the interchangeable widgets our current systems pretend they are.

What are the advantages/disadvantages of learning models that exist outside of traditional educational institutions?
With the growing number of alternative learning pathways and opportunities to better serve the needs of individual students, what's working best? And what can we learn from the failures and tensions? Where and how have the models in the margins effectively disrupted the status quo?
I'll add to the conversation my current initiative, Breaker - driving alternative learning and social innovation by mobilizing interdisciplinary teams of young creative collaborators to design product solutions to global challenges.
This Live Conversation will start on Feb. 15, 2012, 1:00pm EST/ 10:00am PST

Feb 15 2012: What I find works best (I teach junior college Sociology/Psychology) is challenging the students to rethink common assumptions, and then discussions which integrate course themes and real world events. It seems clear that students learn what they need to learn and what they want to learn...
... what they need is to pass the class.
... what they want is what feeds their innate curiosity about themselves and the world.
So I make what they need to pass the class a development and expression of curiosity about the way they think and the way they view the world.
Feb 15 2012: I don't think there is an age that you have to wait for. Explanation and curiosity is what will lead them to be passionate about learning. I would imagine that you personally would need to find the right balance for your situation, but why not nurture as much as you can as often as you can?

DuPont Protective Gloves for High-Risk Environments
High-risk hazardous environments call for more protection than the standard gloves of Kevlar® brand fibre. That's why DuPont created patented Kevlar® Armor Technology engineered yarns for cut protective gloves.
Gloves made with DuPont™ Kevlar® Armor Technology
Vestibulum tristique pharetra tincidunt.
The image caption is not restricted in its character count.
Whether it's working near stationary blades, slitting operations, or handling sharp metal, glass, or abrasives; protective gloves and other protective garments, such as aprons and sleeves, are critical. It's why DuPont engineered its innovative, lightweight Kevlar® fibre to make DuPont™ Kevlar® Armor Technology. Used in the manufacturing of protective gloves for high-risk areas, our patented Armor Technology helps provide a very high level of cut protection. Kevlar® Armor Technology is significantly lighter and more comfortable than steel mesh, so manual dexterity is enhanced.

A father is a child's first love, the first super hero. He's the first boy to serenade you when he sings lullabies when you sleep, he's your fist kiss, hug and everything! Isn't it so nice to be a daddy's girl? No. It's not lame and you're the weird. I love the feeling when you're so close to your dad and you always feel the he's always beside you no matter what. Of course, eventually you will fall in love with other boys but there's no better love than a father could give. You'll always feel safest when he hugs you and you'll always know he will protect you. He will always have the sweetest kiss on the cheek for you know it is pure love. He will always be the most handsome and the most perfect boy in your life. Even though you find your other half, for a father's love is so great, that he will only seek for your happiness and I can assure you he is the only boy that will never wipe your tears, for he will never ever make you cry. I'm a daddy's girl and I'm proud.

MORIARTY Reviews BAND OF BROTHERS: "Carentan"
Hey, everyone. "Moriarty" here with some Rumblings From The Lab.
Last night I had nuclear dreams. I had dreams of germ warfare in Los Angeles and other major cities. I had dreams of loved ones lost, of chaos, of a descent into widescale madness. Not even the best efforts of my girlfriend could soothe me, and I saw the sun gradually creep into my room, unable to close my eyes. It was the worst night I've had since Tuesday.
This afternoon, the images are finally starting to fade, replaced with a dull anger, a building rage that the solace of sleep itself has been stolen from me by the events in New York and Washington. As I read articles about our troops assembling in Pakistan or the weapons we plan to use in the conflict ahead, I am not relieved. Instead, the threat of a faceless enemy disturbs me on a very basic level. We are, in essence, shooting into the darkness, hoping to hit what we cannot see. What comfort is there in such a thought?
In the days since those planes went down, I have found myself too distracted to watch movies. Try as I might, I get impatient during the films I've put on. I get irritated at the things the characters find important, annoyed by the manufactured drama of things. It's a strange sensation, and out of everything I've tried, only one thing has been able to hold my interest. Only one thing has rewarded my efforts. Only one thing has offered me the emotional release I needed. I'm speaking, of course, about HBO's astonishing BAND OF BROTHERS.
Last week, I wrote only generally about the effect the first two episodes of the series had on me. Both "Corahee" and "Day Of Days" were well-made and well-acted, I thought, but it's with this week's episode "Carentan" that the series finally finds its legs and really hits its stride. The episode focuses on Prvt. Albert Blithe (Marc Warren) and his attempts to come to grips with the reality of war, and it also tells the story of Easy Company's attempts to take the town of Carentan, France, an early strategic landmark. The fact that the show is able to balance both storylines with such nimble grace is but one small part of the miracle that is this ten-hour film.
Ironically, it was on Tuesday that HBO sent me an oversized envelope stuffed with the remaining eight episodes of the series, and at first I wasn't sure if I wanted to continue watching them right now or not. What has ended up being so cathartic about the show, though, is the image of Americans fighting a war against an enemy they can identify, moving forward one hard-won victory at a time, pushing forward through France and Holland and Belgium and, finally, Germany. Yes, lives are lost, and you feel each one over the course of the series, but these men all volunteered, knowing full well that they could end up sacrificing themselves to a higher purpose, and that selflessness is magnificent to behold. Like the stories coming out of New York in the past few days, BAND OF BROTHERS is uplifting and ultimately healing because of the mix of naked humanity and pure heroism on display. I'm going to try to review each episode just before it airs, dividing the reviews into spoiler and non-spoiler material so you can get an idea of what to expect, then come back for in-depth conversation after the episode airs. Trust me... it's worth in-depth conversation. When all is said and done, this may be one of the finest war movies ever made.
The episode opens with Blithe standing in a field on the edge of the French drop zone, looking up into the cloudy sky overhead as if unable to believe he fell from it. As he hooks back up with Easy Company, there's a dazed, disconnected quality to Blithe. Many of the men are already falling into a rhythm, a mindset that will carry them through to the end of the war. Blithe can't find that same groove, though. He's shit-scared, unable to make sense of the circumstances around him, and as the company moves into Carentan, Blithe finds himself frozen, unable to act.
E. Max Frye has done a great job here of writing what could have been a cheap cliché, and turning into something real, something recognizable. Each episode of the series uses a different character to focus our attentions so we don't get lost in the overwhelming details of the war. Blithe is perfectly chosen to anchor this particular episode. By making us witness these events through his point of view, Frye and director Mikael Solomon don't allow us to become comfortable yet. They keep us as off-balance as the character, and the effect is one of almost unbearable tension.
Special mention must be made of the enormous contribution by cinematographers Joel Ransom and Remi (ELIZABETH) Adefarasin. Ransom shot this episode, and he and Adefarasin are alternating. Their work unifies the entire series, grounds it with an almost documentary approach that nevertheless finds the moments of poetry amidst the most horrifying of events. In this one, Ransom manages to convincingly paint a portrait of chaos, but he never lets the image become chaotic. It's a delicate balancing act, and their collaboration with each of the directors who worked on the show has produced something greater than what we are used to on television.
And now to get down to a few spoilers. First, the work by Marc Warren as Blithe is exceptional. At one point, he is struck by a sudden case of hysterical blindness during a firefight, and it's only when he is able to talk with Lt. Winters (Damian Lewis) that he snaps out of it. He's still not able to bring himself to fight, though, and every time he is asked to face the enemy, Blithe crumbles. It's Ronald Speirs (Matthew Settle) who finally lays it out for Blithe when the private confesses that he hid in a ditch during D-Day, afraid to fight. "We're all afraid, Private. The difference is that you still have hope. You have to accept that you're already dead. That's the only way you can act like a soldier... without compassion, without mercy. It's what we all have to do." The moment where Blithe finally gains the courage to fight is searing, and there's one image, one moment where Blithe is firing round after round and one casing snaps out of his rifle, spinning in the air in front of him, that took my breath away. It's a perfect example of how this series takes small moments and gives them the weight of real life, how it takes the ordinary and makes it iconic.
What eventually happens to Blithe is heartbreaking, especially when you consider the timing of it. But life moves on. Easy Company moves on. And in the final moments of the episode, as the Company retreats to England for a brief respite before heading back out to France, there's a scene with Malarkey (Scott Grimes) that crystallizes just how much has already been lost by this point, even as it underlines just how far there still is to go.
BAND OF BROTHERS airs every Sunday night at 9:00 PM on HBO and repeats throughout the week. I cannot recommend it highly enough.
"Moriarty" out.

pretty good
by Madbomber
Just got done watching this episode, and I was pleased to see that the show will take some chances. Don't get me wrong, I liked the first two hours, and I really don't think this one was any better than those, but it looked and felt very different than last week's episodes. It also looked like next week that a bunch of the guys we have come to know over the first few episodes will be leaving us already. Too bad...

Bug on HBO
by Ambush Bug
I have been an avid fan of HBO series for a while now. Oz, Sopranos, Six Feet Under, Sex in the City, and the classic Mr. Show with Bob and Dave (which deserves a special mention). Now we have Band of Brothers. So far, I think the series has been impressive. The war story has been a staple in movies forever, but Hanks and Speilberg have put together another tale of WWII worth watching. I don't really have a problem that the episode was run tonight, given the tragic events of the past week. I am against the pulling of Arny's Collateral Damage and other ways Hollywood has tried to deal with these acts of terror. What I do not understand is why they decided to hold off on the premieres of Mind of a Married Man and Curb Your Enthusiasm. THey ran the sneak preview on the night of the bombing. Mind of a Married Man was actually entertaining. I am not the biggest fan of Larry David's show, but a few conedies would be okay to watch after we see a war drama. Instead they are running X-Men, a sci-fi story about mutant terrorists attacking New York City. Why run Band of Brothers (a war drama) and not run a pair of comedies? It just doesn't make sense to me. Wouldn't it make more sense to hold off on BOB instead of pulling Mind and Curb? Listen, I don't think any should be pulled, but I don't understand why HBO did waht they did. Just venting. Love Band of Brothers. Keep it up HBO, but try to make a little sense with your programming next time. Bug out.

Bravo- B.O.B makes me proud yet again
by soloh
After reading some of the reviews that came out before HBO started this series I was nervous that maybe the writers and directors of each episode may have been off the mark in translating the book to the small-screen (and, not doubt, box set DVD ;) Guess they have, thankfully, proved me wrong. While the 1st 2 episodes where well done, they never hit me as hard as the 3rd episode. The above review summed up all the key points I was gonna make so I just wanted to say Thanks to all we made this series- looks like it will be yet another reminder that we have so many to Thank for our freedoms. My prayers and thoughts go out to all in these troubled times. Soloh out... PS- It is strange that Hbo ran a war series but cancelled their new comedies- guess that was because it would seem insulting to run a comedy when the country is still in mourning.

Like "Saving Private Ryan" this series is at its best...
by crimsonrage
...during the scenes of combat, not because it's cool to see stuff get blowed up real good, but because it takes the established characters and does the most dramatic of things...it puts their lives in danger and puts them to the test. SPOILER........................... The way Blithe died was perfect, it didn't linger on sentiment, but it made his injury quick and surprising...just how death really is. You get the feeling that to the other soldiers he was just another unlucky bastard who got shot, which is the way it would really be.

A view from a kid.
by mod29
I am now 17 years of age. Going to turn 18 in two weeks. Obviously, we will not need a draft to fight whatever war is before us, I am still scared by the images I saw tonight. As I was scared by the first two episodes and Saving Private Ryan AND Thin Red Line. I am starting to realize the horrors of war, but still know that it is usually needed and helps in the end. I for one am glad for my grandfather ( a 82nd airborne WWII veteran ) and every other military veteran from any war... they fought for the freedom that my generation has come to love and keep. I know that we will still have it in the upcoming months and years. So thank you HBO, for making this wonderful mini-series and thank you to Hanks and Spielberg for assisting in letting our nation know what great military history it has. -Mod29

by MilSF1
Today's Monday, so I guess it isn't a spoiler anymore..... You might have missed the sentence at the end that stated that Blythe didn't die right away, he lived till '48, though he never recovered from his wound. Goes to show that real life can always be more poignant than anything dreamed up in the mind of a Hollywood writer. Sunday nights in my house belong to HBO :)

Band of Brothers as Catharsis
by Stepto
I remember just before leaving for work 9/11 checking the news. It was about 7:00 CDT, just a few minutes prior to the first plane strike. There was nothing going on and I hit the shower then headed into work. It's about a 30 minute trip. It's just fucking unreal that in that 30 minutes my entire country changed. I'm 29. Too young for such trauma as Pearl Harbor, Korea, Kennedy, Vietnam. To my generation lies the greatest single sided victory in our country's history, and the greatest economy the country has ever known. Like every generation to which a traumatic event has occured, we viewed ourselves invincible. First our economy has severely contracted, if not collapsed, with our stock markets. Now this. I understand Moriarty's malaise. I've spent the entire week tuned into CNN, the only movie I was able to pop in this week and watch to completion was the new DVD of Ghandi. It didnt help at all in case you are wondering. It's simply too soon for deriving a message of healing and forgiveness from a movie like that. In fact it had almost the opposite effect, in reaching the end of that film it just accentuanted the point that mindless senseless animals will kill innocents for no other reason than their own glorification. Which is why I re-watched Band of Brothers in preparation for Sunday's episode. I think right about now I would just about drop on my knees begging for the rest of the series right now. From the first episode, where one veteran mentions that 4 men in his town commited suicide cause the army wouldn't let them volunteer, Band of Brothers is a catharsis for the American soul right now. Our inability to direct our hurt and our hatred is vicariously healed through the viewing of true stories about men who could, and did. Men who didnt kill for glory, didnt kill for even vengeance. They took action and they did their jobs for the country. They were human. They had their flaws and in those flaws we can see ourselves. What would we have done with those german prisoners in the first episode? I like to think we would not have killed them. But the fact that they were killed and the show has chosen not to let us know anything more than the fact they were killed is part of its brilliance. We're free to make our own determinations. (I personally hope the show never actually tells us what happened.) Blithe too represents the realism of the humanity of the men who went overseas. In many films we are shown WW2 vets grimly doing their jobs. Only recently I believe with Saving Private Ryan and Band of Brothers are we now being shown the more human elements of the psychological effects of war. There's a lot of people who state that the current events surrounding the viewing of a movie tend to color its quality beyond reality. Perhaps so. But doesnt that work both ways? Don't we all love a particular movie because it touched us during a period in our lives, regardless of the actual quality of the movie? I think Band of Brothers is an enormous accomplishment in its own right. But I also recommend anyone still shell shocked and hurting from tuesday to give it a viewing. HBO will most likely be running it 8 million times this week, bless them for that. I'd like to see them, in light of this tragedy, play all the episodes. But then again perhaps its better to just get it piece by piece. Regardless. Its good stuff. Another feather in the peacock's hat that HBO has now. S.

Grrr.. damn the back button!
by MilSF1
Sorry for the double post above. For those who were wondering to the Shakespeare mentioned in the first post. B.O.B comes from Henry V, Act. IV, Sc. III (the St. Crispin's Day speech). "This story shall the good man teach his son; And Crispin Crispian shall ne'er go by, From this day to the ending of the world, But we in it shall be remember'd, We few, we happy few, we band of brothers; For he to-day that sheds his blood with me Shall be my brother; be he ne'er so vile, This day shall gentle his condition: And gentlemen in England now a-bed Shall think themselves accurs'd they were not here And hold their manhoods cheap while any speaks That fought with us upon Saint Crispin's day." I just saw the Branaugh version on IFC a few days ago. One of his better Shakespeare films IMHO.

by tritium
It's funny...I seem to recall every time Saving Private Ryan is mentioned in the Talk Backs of Ain't It Cool News, there is always a few (more than a few, actually) who complained about the overtly patriotic overtones of the bookends of the movie. At the beginning the 1st image we see is the Stars and Stripes blowing in the wind, almost ethereal, with the sunlight diffusing in from behind. Likewise, many people dismissed the ending. As you recall, the movie ends with the present day (old) Ryan, having returned to the Cemetery near Omaha Beach, saluting his fallen Captain...his family around for support, but they can never really understand. Anyway, may Talkbakers cited this as being just another overtly clumsy manipulation of the audiences'emotions by Spielberg. I wonder, given the recent events, if these people feel the same way about Spielberg's choices. I submit to you that it is not so easy to dismiss these scenes, now. I think Spielberg put them in there, not for the mass audience, but as tribute and homage to the living and dead veterens of America who did nothing less than help save the World (along with our allies). After the events of last Tuesday, I happened to put Saving Private Ryan into my DVD last night, and watched it with an entirely new appreciation and awe to the sacrifice of those young men. ...and the waving flag at the beginning...well, it brought tears to my eyes.

Off topic, but...
by Smeg For Brains
We have to remember that in the next few months, and even years, some drastic things will be happening, and we can't let our anger, rage, and overall ignorance let us do to some other innocent people what was done to us. America is at a turning point. Saddly, with our current leadership, I can't see it going any other way than that of the rest of the world hating us even more for slaughtering innocent people who had nothing to do with the attacks, and government controling our lives through unconstitutional new laws made possible by fear. A wise man once said... "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." -Benjamin Franklin

Mr. Smeg: I have every confidence in President Bush, especially given the incredible talent and experience he has surrounded himself with (Dick Cheney, Colin Powell). Yes indeed, we need to be careful that we hit the right targets, and take out the terrorists as well as their supporters. Yes, there will be civilian casualties. But I will tell you this...there is no other country in the world that has spent so much in technological innovation, and the capability of peforming surgical strikes with precision munitions, that we ensure the harm to civilians or non-combatants is kept to the absolute minimum possible. Think back to WWII, Korea, or even Vietnam, were mass strategic bombings were required to take out a target. Sometimes a hundred bombers were required to destroy a single bridge. It is a strange irony, that thanks to our Technological Leadership, one attack plane can cause yeild more destruction on a specific target than a hundred bombers...while at the same time minimizing casualties to civilians. Do you think the Terrorists can say the same. Hell No...They specifically TARGET civilians. We are going to get them, and we are going to destroy them. This is War, and we have to understand that bad things are going to happen. The trick is, to have most of the bad things happen to the bad people...and not innocent men, women and CHILDREN. Don't get me wrong, I do not want, nor do I see our Government initiating an attack until we have the proper Intelligence, and the necessary preparation. The worst thing we could do would be to go bomb someone who is innocent. But remeber one thing about this War...it is not just Bin Laden or Al Qaida that we are going to go after. Every organized Terrorist group that has the capability of wreaking the kind of horror we have just been witness to is FAIR GAME. Or perhaps, you would prefer to sit back and wait until the next attack when they use Anthrax or chemical (or Radiological) weapons of mass destruction in our Heartland.

I have to disagree. Bush has been surrounded by (and i say that because I doubt he has actually done anything himself in his entire life) tools of big oil (Cheney), and his fathers cronies, and he is without a doubt the least qualified man to be president in modern times. It is a fact that he was not actually elected within the system, losing the only election with any decisive conclusion (the popular vote), and being placed in office by Supreme Court Justices appointed by his father and Regan, amidst astounding acts of fraud commited by his brother's administration in Florida. He is nothing but a tool of the establishment, and any person who willingly gives up their constitutional rights to this human joke doesn't deserve the rights our ancestors fought for. In any situation our basic civil rights are more important than our short term safety. The patriotic thing to do is to face the possible dangers with our rights intact, rather than willingly hand them over to the people who allowed these events to happen. They had a hard time keeping known wanted terrorists from living in our country (possibly for years), training to fly commercial airliners on U.S. airforce bases, getting onboard flights using their real names (keep in mind they were known wanted terrorists), and hijacking said planes (which could have been prevented if the airlines weren't so greedy that they stopped putting armed sky-martials on the planes). You now trust these people to deal with this without slaughtering innocent civillians in countries having nothing to do with this? And ask the hundreds of thousands of innocent Iraqi civillians killed by American "smart bombs" how well we can limit civillian casualties.

Continuity errors reveal budget limitations?
by Spaceman Spliff
I'm so glad this series finally aired. I'd been waiting for so long, and I haven't been disappointed. Every time Easy finds itself in combat I am literally on the edge of my seat. I can't stand the idea that I might miss anything. And that may be why I've noticed a couple of things that I think show that Spielberg and Hanks stretched their budget to the absolute limit. In "Carentan" when the soldier who gets startled by the sheet in the clothesline fires a round into a shed, you don't see a bullet hole. Then when he fires his second you see two appear. I found this odd for people who pride themselves on their Cameron-esque perfectionism. Also, when the guy with the three Purple Hearts is ABOUT to give one to the bayonetee, you can see the one he's about to reach for look out of place all of a sudden, like it didn't get put back after the previous take. Normally I'm not that nitpicky, but I've been wondering how such a big budget TEN HOUR war movie could be made with so little money. Now I think I have my answer. They cut corners when they had to in order to splurge on the important stuff. Personally, I think it works.

Smeg for brains? Obliviously!
by Ninja Nerd
Sir, while I did not vote for Bush and was appalled at the thought of him for President, the fact remains that he IS the man behind the desk. As such, he is the CINC, period. If he falters, we will replace him, either next election or more abruptly via impeachment, etc. Until then, I support him EVEN I DISAGREE because that's part of being an American. I was a medic during VietNam. Nixon resigned before I separated and at the time, I was very disappointed in him; Presidents should be above things like Watergate or Iran-Contra. I came to realize that these are men, sometimes extraordinary, but still capable of human frailty. Our system CHOSE to have this method of leadership, so I support it and the office holder, whoever he or she is. Not criticizing you, Smeg; I think we should take it easy on other for a while...maybe it'll catch on. "First, do no harm" - Hippocrates.

I agree entirely, Moriarty -- the spinning case from Blythe's M1
by Lt. Torello
My only regret is we can't see this in theatres. All Americans should watch it. I don't say this lightly, and I'm not saying it's perfect in every respect (the ennobling music is sometimes a little syrupy for my ears), but now as we go through the biggest national crisis of our age, we NEED a show this good, this well-written, acted, and directed, that shows what SACRIFICE really means. With this and The Sopranos, HBO has a subscriber for life.

Ink and watercolour on paper, 480 x 293 mm.
John Fleming (1747-1829) was a physician and was stationed for many years in India where he developed a passion for plants. Fascinated by their use in medicine and their economic potential, he collected many specimens from around the country. His collection of copies of watercolours is a remarkable record of his fascination for the great diversity of plants to be found in India.
A staggering 1,160 watercolour drawings of Indian plants are to be found in the John Fleming collection.Friday Jun 8 @ 07:25pm

The latest addition to the eco-friendly market is the Live Moss Carpet– a soft grass carpet that thrives from the few drops of water you leave behind when stepping out of the shower or bath. Designed by La Chanh Nguyen, the base of the moss is made from decay-free foam called plastazote which prevents dangerous mold and other equally-nasty minuscule lifeforms. There are three types of low maintenance moss –ball moss,island moss, and forest moss– within each foam cell. The humidity within your bathroom and those few water droplets are all that's needed to keep your little moss garden sprouting all year round.

Treatment of BDD involves the use of pharmacotherapy and cognitive behavioural
therapy (CBT), used alone or simultaneously.
Drug Assisted Treatment
The specific serotonin re - uptake inhibitors (SSRIs) and the tricyclic
antidepressant - clomipramine have been shown to be the most efficacious
pharmacological intervention. The most widely used and studied SSRI is Fluvoxamine
(Luvox). Other SSRIs that studies have shown to be effective include
Fluoxetine (Prozac) and Citalopram (Cipramil). Some limited studies
have claimed that the atypical antipsychotics - Olanzapine (Zyprexa)
and Quetiapine (Seroquel) may also be efficacious.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
Applied individually
or conducted in groups, CBT is showing promise in the treatment of
BDD. Cognitive therapy involves identifying and challenging faulty
thoughts and beliefs responsible for maintaining BDD, then replacing
those cognitions with more realistic ways of thinking. The behavioural
therapies shown to be useful are exposure and response prevention
therapy. In exposure therapy, the sufferer is encouraged, in a graded
way, to expose the defect or defects in an environment or situation
where exposure has been avoided. Response prevention therapy aims
to inhibit the compulsive behaviours of self - examination and comparing.
Non - psychiatric Treatments
To reduce their ugliness, BDD sufferers often seek
consultations with dermatologists, cosmetic and dental surgeons.
Up to 7% who seek cosmetic surgery, do so repeatedly. The surgery
is invariably unsuccessful and, for some, an exacerbation of symptoms
occurs. If the surgery is successful, the site of the preoccupation
may change.

Bianca is our latest BGKI and she shares her style inspiration with us…
What inspires you to blog?
I needed an outlet to express myself and plus my mom kept telling me to do it
How would you define your personal style?
80s androygny & power dressing, mix with 90s weird kid.
Do you find that you follow fashion trends, or do you play by your own rules?
Of course I take note of what's out there, especially when it comes to color trends—but I play by my rules. I get annoyed when every girl throws on some denim cut offs and platform shoes and says "look I'm fashionable now" being fashionable does don't mean everyone looks alike. It's about personal style. What makes this look say "you"
Items to get, what are you searching for right now?
Are there any colors you tend to shy away from, and if so why?
I don't wear a lot of black, simply because my mom wouldn't let me as a kid because it was "too adult" now I just forget to wear it but I'm trying to incorporate it more into my looks. Who knows this winter, I'm feeling very Stevie Nicks meets Cher via mermaids.
When you hear the term "Black Girl Killing It" what comes to mind?
I think of not just fashionable black girls, I think about black girls who know how to make a statement with confidence.
As a child were you always into clothes or did you grow into your own fashion sense?
Oh yes, I was always into clothes, I vividly remember picking out my look for my first day of kindergarten. Leggings, polka dots, mustard, fuchsia, and teal. Not much has changed.
Do you participate in your local fashion scene?
When I can. Chicago doesn't do much, and with working and school I don't get a lot of time to socialize outside of hanging out with my friends. I have been trying to get into it more since I started blogging more seriously. But I'm so awkward I usually stay home and watch project runway instead. :P
How does your day to day life factor into your wardrobe choices?
With blogging I have to force myself out of t-shirts by threadless and skinny jeans. I have to consider my look, and dress up for myself. The more I dress up for me, the more I love it. When I feel like I'm doing it for others I often feel uncomfortable.
What is your greatest fashion pet peeve?
As stated before, copy cat dressing. There's a difference between taking inspiration and just merely ripping someone off to try to get "reblogs" or "hype". How many denim cutoffs and platform shoes does my dashboard need?
Have you ever tried your hand at design or sewing?
Yes I have done some design work and some collaborations with designer, but more on that soon ;)
Are there any designers that you like to wear or whose clothing stands out with you?
I am a pendleton whore, I try to collect as much vintage pendleton as I possibly can! I squeal with joy when I can find a piece at my local thrift store for 2 bucks versus 200 at opening ceremony (who I also LOVE). I also adoring Tara Jarmon, Oscar de la Renta, and Milly right now.
Who are your style icons?
Chloe Sevingy, Solange Knowles, Bianca Jagger, Denis Huxtable, and all the grandmothers of the world!
Your five must-haves as a girl:
You can stay in touch with this BGKI on Tumblr, Blogspot or Twitter
She better wrk! ♥

I disagree with the previous review. I did not find this recipe too "lemony." I thought the tartness blended well with the vegetables and was balanced by the parmesan, and I most likely used more rind and juice than called for in the recipe. Other than that I followed the recipe exactly. It made more than 4 1-cup servings, more like 6. Also, I didn't let the rice cool completely, so the recipe was served warm, which I prefer anyway. This was a delicious summer recipe. A good use of zucchinis from our garden!

MVSS14 Posted: 06/25/12
This recipe is WAY too lemony. I would start with one tablespoon of lemon juice and add more to taste. The way it is written, the lemon flavor overpowers the other vegetables and herbs, taking away from the dish.
renecj Posted: 08/01/12
This is a delicious healthy meal, great for bringing to work for lunch. I didnt feel too lemony at all, just make sure you add the salt to counteract the acid and take the time to use fresh lemon. The Parmesen also adds a good flavor. I only added one TBS of oil at the end and that was enough. I also didnt halve the tomatoes as I knew I was bringing for lunch and didnt want them to make the dish too soggy.
detailaddict Posted: 07/31/12
Simple, fresh and tasty...But I agree that this would have been WAY too lemony had I used the full amount of juice, even fresh. I used 1/2T each of fresh Meyer lemon juice and bottled juice, intending to add more once it was all assembled; but this was quite enough. I used pattypan squash in place of zucchini and cut the amount by half as my husband doesn't eat squash, and was able to cut the oil by more than 2/3 as a result. I also used just 1/2t of salt as I had seasoned the squash directly. Finally I doubled the amount of pine nuts, but without the extra oil the calories were about the same. The flavor combination was just right, and would have been fine even without the Parmesan. We ended up with 3 servings, likely due to the reduction in squash and possibly too little rice (I guessed that 1/3c was the correct amount to cook; this would have been helpful to include), and to larger servings. Like the other reviewer I served this lukewarm, but as a stand-alone dish.
DanaSam Posted: 09/03/12
I made this for a girls' night on the deck...served with a dry rosé...a perfect summer meal that highlights the veggies of the season...
juliecrozier Posted: 05/29/13
Just made for the first time and loved it! I ripped this recipe out last year and rediscovered it a year later and so glad I did! I sort of made it my own. No zucs at the store so I skipped that part. I used wild and brown rice and barely any oil. It was yummy and I'll be recommending it to my friends and family.
daneanp Posted: 06/19/13
This was wonderful with grilled chicken breasts with BBQ sauce. I would take it to a picnic or serve to my vegan guests (holding the parmesean, of course). The only change I made was to saute 1/2 cup of onion with the zucchini.
rlepere Posted: 08/30/13
I did switch out the pine nuts for cashews, only because I don't like pine nuts. Clean, fresh, easy summer recipe.
nancyb123 Posted: 06/27/13
I have made this several times and it always meets rave reviews from everyone. I add about half the lemon juice, especially if I am using the rind. It is currently my go-to picnic side.

Perfect weather, nice location, beautiful room
We recently spent 6 nights at Karen's place. First, she is a wonderful hostess and easily so easy to contact. She answered every question quickly and with detail. The room was perfect for 2 people. Every morning we were able to walk in different directions and explore Rosemary, Alys, Inlet and Seacrest. Dinner choices were plentiful and all within walking distance. We loved Havana Beach and Wild Olives for dinner and The Donut Hole for breakfast. The small pool is right outside the door, but we took the short walk to the lagoon pool, which was lovely with palm trees and lots of seating. We did find the beach walk a bit of a hassle with coolers, chairs, etc. as it really isn't directly across the street. I think during the summer season the shuttle runs regularly, they weren't running while we were there. I do wish there had been somewhere to hang towels and bathing suits, but that seriously is a small complaint when you consider Karen has fully stocked her place and you can literally show up with just your bathing suit, clothes and sunscreen! You can tell she takes pride in the small and large details of her studio. Thank you for a nice week.
Perfect Location in Baytowne Wharf!
This was my Husband and I's first time to Baytowne Wharf and we loved it! The location of this condo is superb! I loved the balcony and used it every morning, great for relaxing with a book or for people watching. The interior of the condo is decorated very nicely in a beachy theme. The bed was very comfortable! The pool area is great as well, it was a nice resort style pool with a great hot tub. This condo is in the heart of Baytowne Wharf, you can walk to all of the restaurants, lots of walking trails, great for fishing, live music every night and lots of activities for families. The owners are great as well and give great suggestions on what to do and where to eat! I highly recommend this place and would stay here again.
Just steps away from the water!
Beautiful beach right outside your door, not crowded (like in front of the resorts with hundreds of rental chairs). If you don't need "upscale" and just want a convenient reasonably priced place right on the beach, I would recommend it. Loved having the washer and dryer in the unit.

My guild did ICC-25 on Wednesday for the first time. We had read some strats for the first boss, but not for the trash, which resulted in some trash wipes. We got Morrowgar down in the third attempt. As the article says, it's an easy fight, and it will be easy for people to pug the weekly quest when he's the target again. Feeling all cocky, we came back the next day and spent the whole night wiping on Deathwhisper. This is definitely a step up in difficulty compared to Morrowgar, and requires a good amount of coordination in the raid.
Overall I'm really happy with the new instances and the new raid. The feeling of entering a raid not knowing exactly what to expect is exhilarating, something we hadn't felt since Ulduar (ToC is just a room, it can't compare to huge fortresses like Naxx, Ulduar and ICC). And ICC just looks and feels epic. Can't wait to explore more of it.
