Nobody Wants To Be Hawkeye
"We decided," Theresa tells me, "that we're all going to be different characters from The Avengers. Nicky is Captain America. I'm Black Widow. Mary is Iron Man."
"Who is Steve?" Phil asks.
"The Hulk," I say. "Isn't it obvious?"
"Well," somebody begins, "He's definitely Bruce Banner. But he's not really The Hulk. He's not angry."
"Yes, but isn't that exactly the point?" I ask. "We wouldn't like him when he's angry."
"I don't know about angry. You wouldn't like me when I'm annoyed," Steve says.
"I think you have to be The Hulk, Steve," Mary tells him.
"Fine, whatever," Steve replies, which is so totally what Bruce Banner would say.
"Who's Thor?" Nicky queries.
Theresa looks around.
"Hey, David! You have a beard! Do you want to be Thor?"
David is Thor.
"We just need a Hawkeye now. Who wants to be Hawkeye?"
Silence. Nobody wants to be Hawkeye.
"Phil? Do you want to be Hawkeye?"
"God, no."
"Phil should be Jarvis," I point out.
No protest. Even being a disembodied voice is better than being Hawkeye.
"Do you want to be Hawkeye, Rachel?"
I shake my head.
"I'd rather be Loki."
Nobody wants to be Hawkeye.
Later that evening, the search continues:
"Richard, do you want to be Hawkeye?"
"Not really."
"Ryan, do you want to be Hawkeye?"
"Fuck no."
"Beth, do you want to be Hawkeye?"
Jason, being the resident comic book expert, points out that Hawkeye actually has a plethora of skills that weren't featured in the movie.
"Hawkeye is a tremendously talented guy!"
"Ok, you can be Hawkeye, then!"
"I don't want to be Hawkeye! Can't I be Nick Fury?"
Nobody wants to be Hawkeye.
I think about him again on the plane ride home the next day.
Is he really that bad? I wonder. Maybe we have the poor guy all wrong.
I mean, think about it: Here's a man who, although very bright, has no actual superpowers. He's fantastically skilled in archery, but is rendered basically useless once he runs out of arrows. And yet, despite these flaws, whenever The Avengers are summoned from their respective corners of the earth to convene in one place, Hawkeye still gets to hang out with some of the most awesome people in the world—hell, in the universe—and nobody ever doubts that he belongs there.
Hawkeye isn't a loser—he's the luckiest bastard on earth.
And I can identify with that, because even though I don't have super strength, a suit of iron or the ability to summon thunder, I still got to spend the weekend with some of the funniest, most charming people on the internet, and moreover, they seemed happy to have me there.
You guys, I've changed my mind. I don't want to be Loki anymore.
I want to be Hawkeye.
I really, really do.

Have you ever wondered about what blogs I visit, and how I spend my free time?
Interview: Kiersten Marek, Author of "Know Thyself: A Kid's Guide to the Archetypes" | Flying With Red Haircrow.
We in the social work field are known for advocating for just about everyone — the poor, the homeless, LBGT, Veterans, the elderly, people with physical disabilities, people with mental disabilities, the unemployed, the incarcerated, and so on. But when it comes to advocating for ourselves, we seem to have a harder time, and the many groups who we speak for are often not able to provide the same kind of "got your back" advocacy in return. For that reason, mental health providers are a category, politically, that is easily stomped on. Though we represent many, we represent the underrepresented, the less powerful, and the very busy people who must work two jobs for a living.
Here is a chance to help out your fellow mental health provider. Please consider signing the petition linked below to help advocate for mental health providers to be adequately compensated for their work.
This essay from the NYTimes is a bit of an eye-opener for anyone who is thinking of going into private practice. Due to people seeking less therapy and using more psychiatric drugs alone (massive pharma marketing campaigns encourage this), we are now at a point where many therapists can't get enough referrals to survive. Meanwhile, many people in need of help can't get it because they don't have insurance, have high deductibles and copays, or have very little coverage for mental health with their insurance policy.
In case you wonder what Obamacare will look like in some states, here is an example of a state, Mississippi, that is already saying "Whoa, horsie!" when it comes to implementation.
Miss. Medicaid expansion unlikely, GOP leaders say – The Dispatch.
I wonder about the implementation here in Rhode Island and whether we will be able to extend health care coverage to all, given our sagging economy. As I said in an earlier post, I see health care as a potential economic driver, and I hope Rhode Island will find ways to make this happen.
As a health care practitioner, I am particularly interested in changes specific to children and families. For more on how the law specifically impacts children and families, the Children's Mental Health Network has a page that gives a helpful breakdown of all the changes.
[Ninjanurse butts in to Kiersten's post]
Lt. Governor Elizabeth Roberts sent an email with this–
Rhode Island has been implementing the federal health reform law for over two years, beginning with Lt. Governor Roberts' early efforts in 2010 to ensure Rhode Island had a clear path ahead toward achieving universal coverage for Rhode Islanders. With the Supreme Court's ruling, that path has been cleared for the state to move forward in partnership with the federal government and continue to benefit from its support and funding.
The Supreme Court decision means up to 120,000 uninsured Rhode Islanders will be able to enroll in healthcare coverage starting October 1, 2013 and will have access to the coverage by January 1, 2014. Rhode Island families and small businesses soon will have an online marketplace known as the RI Health Benefits Exchange where they can easily buy and compare health insurance options. Some residents will even qualify for free or low-cost insurance depending on their income. Rhode Islanders will begin to hear more about this marketplace in the coming months.
These are not empty words, but a work in progress. As much as I wish we could speed it up, I know that good people are working overtime to meet these goals.
One of those good people is a Republican, Christine Ferguson, who has been appointed by Governor Chafee as head of the new Rhode Island health insurance exchange. Ms. Ferguson has a long resume of health management experience in Rhode Island and Massachusetts and is a passionate and effective advocate for people in need of access to basic healthcare. We're lucky to have her on our team at this point in time.
Originally posted on Therapy with Kiersten Marek, LICSW:
I wrote the following letter at the prompting of Stop it Now, a great organization that advocates for public education and action to prevent sexual abuse. As a clinician who works with sexual abuse, it has been both horrifying and all too familiar to hear the testimony that has come out of this trial. It seems clear that Sandusky's actions were very pre-meditated and involved finding victims who would be less likely to speak out, such as the boys from The Second Mile. This should be a wake-up call for all of us to be more vigilant and attentive to children, and to find ways to ask questions when things don't seem right. I was glad when the email came from Stop it Now, providing some samples of letters to send to the editors, and so this is mine. I hope the Providence Journal publishes it.

Know Thyself: A Kid's Guide to the Archetypes by Kiersten Marek (Paperback) – Lulu.
I wrote this book because as I have practiced therapy with children and families over many years, I have found that talking about archetypes and having a visual tool to use when doing so is an excellent way to start meaningful therapy conversations. I also saw that the archetypes model was less stigmatizing than talking in diagnostic terms.
I wanted to create a visual tool that could help kids articulate their experience, and that they could make their own and recreate in their own special way. That is why "Know Thyself" is a workbook and can also be used as a coloring book — it is meant to be a co-creation between child and therapist, or child and parent, or child and teacher, or child and other child — a way to feel bonded to others and on the same team as we find our resources, both internal and external.
Please take a look at the book in preview of "Know Thyself" and consider making it your own.


text: Energy Levels: Sculptor Julie Speidel April 01, 2014 Julie Speidel revealed herself as a burgeoning sculptor before most visit their first museum. An early childhood art assignment on Bolivia unearthed her vision and artistic inclination after she masterfully layered colored circles of paper to create indigenous pollera dresses. "I've been interested in three- dimensional shapes ever since," she muses. That same spatial sensitivity and cultural appreciation has developed today into an internationally recognized style. Her work is synonymous with an abstract modernism that harks back to Henry Moore and Picasso, but lately the Vashon Island local is finding inspiration in prehistoric art and eastern influences. "Sculpture should have a certain mystery, a power that you can't explain," she says. And so, her modern figures of bronze, marble, basalt and cast glass are more about experience and energy rather than interpretation. Quite likely it's this very je ne se quoi that captivates gallery owners and private collectors alike. "People are drawn to imbalanced balance," she says. "I feel the energy in materials and create an entity that feels true to me." LX: Greatest influence: JS: Visiting San Sebastian, Spain—once home to sculptor Eduardo Chillida. He lived on the Bay of Biscay, and he put his Peine del Viento out over the water on a rock and another sculpture on the hillside. The point was not to look at the sculptures alone but to look through them, so they activated the space. I felt I was there to learn that lesson. LX: I'm excited by: JS: Jeff Koons. I saw his polychrome Tulips recently and they are magical. He is boldly using technology, scale and materials to create something wonderful. LX: I'm reading: JS: The Hare with Amber Eyes: A Hidden Inheritance, by ceramicist Edmund de Waal. It's a true story about how objects can speak to someone's love of beauty and tradition. LX: Current project: JS: Sculpture in the Landscape, an installation in The Bloedel Reserve on Bainbridge Island. It has meandering paths in the forest, bird marshes, a Japanese garden and a house on a terrain that leads down to the shoreline, where I will create 12 pieces to engage the landscape and bring new light to the view. juliespeidel.com206.463.9275 Tweet COMMENTS (0) Thanks!

Release Date:
July 31, 2007
Four years after he released the unsatisfying and scattershot He's Keith Murray and got himself kicked off Def Jam for allegedly strangling a street team member, the rapper who can't be controlled returned with a solid effort that finishes a very close second behind his stunning debut, The Most Beautifullest Thing in This World. With executive producer, longtime associate and brother in Def Squad, Erick Sermon, Keith Murray's Rap-Murr-Phobia (The Fear of Real Hip-Hop) looks outright like a down and dirty return to form that just doesn't give a ******, but it's not. With guest star Tyrese and a mention of P. Diddy, the smooth roller "Nobody Do It Better" sounds anxious to shake hands with radio while "Weeble Wobble" contains an incredibly friendly hook that could easily spawn a line dance craze followed by mega uploads -- "me and my friends doing the Weeble Wobble" -- to video sharing sites. Close your eyes and you can see the moody, black and white video the soulful "Do" deserves, while "Something Like a Model" woos the ladies with Junior's sweet croon and syrupy strings. While "Model" is just good enough, the rest of the polish works beautifully and is remarkably woven in between all the chilly, unforgiving hip-hop that is Murray's "notion for murderous poetry in motion" at its best. Not since his debut has he sounded so sure, so inspired, and filled with that "raw dog passion" that "Whatmakeanathinkdat" speaks of over Sermon's crooked beat. Sermon and Redman show up for an excellent Def Squad reunion called "U Ain't Nobody" and if an important part of any Murray full-length is that un-PC humor, then the he said/ho said "Never Did S" nails it. In the end it turns out the subtitle of the album isn't aimed at any artist getting paid with slick hits but at the Sharptons, the Jacksons and the Oprahs who look at Murray's language and outlook as unforgivable. Looking at it that way, this "don't hate the player, hate the game" album may be even more subversive since it refuses to be banished to the ignorable underground. You can say a lot about the controversial man who declares himself "tainted," but you can't say Rap-Murr-Phobia is anything but a well-crafted and fascinating menace to society.

Possible Manipulation of OOXML Process In Poland
kdawson posted more than 6 years ago | from the politicizing-the-technical dept.94
michuk writes "IBM's representative for KT182 (the committee empowered to vote on OOXML in Poland) accused the committee's chair of intentionally manipulating the process. A letter from the president of the body overseeing KT182, sent a month ago to the committee chair for distribution to all committee members, was never distributed. The letter recommended that, if consensus were not achieved on the OOXML vote, then Poland should abstain. This follows up my recent report on the OOXML process in Poland (also covered by Groklaw), it looks like things are going bad this time, at least as bad as in October." The EU is already investigating the Polish process based on complaints last fall. Is anyone tracking all of the allegations and investigations surrounding OOXML?

In the spring we often find that our hives have had to cope with excess moisture building up over the winter months. When it's bad, winter moisture problems will lead to mouldy comb and cold water dripping onto and chilling the bees.
The typical cause?
The bees themselves will produce a great quantity of moisture just by breathing. Warm moist air rises, spreads along the top of the hive, comes into contact with the colder side walls and inner cover, condensation forms and drips back down into the hive.
The simple and oft suggested remedy to this problem is to provide some form of upper ventilation. Some swear by the top entrance, but so far that option still seems a little drastic to me as so much upward moving heat is lost at the same time as the moisture.
So how do we reduce the moisture without losing the heat?
The short answer is insulate and absorb. You want to give the moisture somewhere to go and try to minimize the temperature difference between the hive walls and the cluster. It's been suggested this problem might be less likely to occur in a wild hive where the tree wall is thicker, there is much more than a thin layer of wood above the hive and that a tree might better absorb moisture than a plywood inner cover.
So how can we attempt to emulate those conditions with modern day man-made hives?
Aside from insulating our hives, we have started adding ventilation boxes on top of our hives. Essentially a short box filled with straw, wood shavings or other absorbent material. The side has screened holes(keep the mice out) and burlap is stapled to the bottom.
In the photos you can see we placed it above an inner cover with a vent hole, but it could be placed directly above a brood box.
We used these during the 2011/2012 and 2012/2013 winters and had dry hives in the spring. In a few cases there was a bit of dampness in the ventilation box.
2013/2014 was a particularly cold winter. I checked the bottom of a few vent boxes placed directly on the top bars with no inner cover over the course of the winter. Though I didn't find any significant moisute build up, I did discover that on warmer sunny days, the temprature at the bottom of the vent box would be a few degrees below ambient. This is leading me to suspect that in colder situations, if the cluster is not at the top of the hive and able to warm the vent box, it's function is primarily to insulate rather than to absorb.
More on vent boxes or quilts
Those familiar with the warré hive will without doubt find this very similar to the quilt which is traditionally used year round to help stabilize the climate within the hive.
Matt at beethinking.com has written a post on the use of a quilt on a langstroth and has some data showing how its use stabilized temperature fluctuations in the hive.
Of course, if you were to consider Johann Thür perspective the first thing you would do is stop using frames all together.

Today I am over on Tater Tots and Jello sharing our new Christmas tradition– The Santa Sack.
I don't know about you, but it seems like each year we accumulate more and more toys. I thought this would be the perfect solution to our problem and hopefully it will help your family out too.
Each year when our elf Peter comes, he will bring this sack with him and the cute little printable attached. I will probably work out some kind of Family Home Evening lesson to go with it so that the girls know that we have plenty and need to worry about helping others by giving what we have excess of to those who don't have much or any. If I do anything formal I'll make sure I share it here.
So head over to Tater Tots and Jello to get my tutorial for making the bag, and if you are coming here from there, then here's your chance to download the printable.

Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
Well, I have a few inspirations right now but I really don't know what I want to make in the future. If I had complete control over my style(which typically develops on its own) I'd like to make art similar to the works of Massimo Carnevale, Diego Fernandez and Michael Shapcott.
This reminds me that I really need to read up on some famous artists so that all of my inspirations don't just come from the internet.
Not yet. I've been learning how to draw since the year started but I have a lot of work to do before my art becomes at least decent.

Arcade Fire - We Exist….An evocative and emotional expression of the hidden cross dressing world of men.
A stunning music video by Arcade Fire is going viral. It's an evocative and emotional expression of the hidden cross dressing world of men.
A world in which men or transgendered persons face the terror of stepping out dressed as women. We don't blink an eye when women wear men's clothing, but when a person who presents as a man dresses as a women, it can stir deeply angry and shocked responses from even their own family members.
What's more, many males who cross dress are not gay. They are straight. Because they are so deeply closeted they are often quickly labeled as CIS. Although gay culture makes it possible for gay men to cross dress openly, for straight men who dress as women, the closet is much more challenging to step out of.
This video is remarkable in its evocation of the fears men face when they dream of dressing like women.

Stand with Texas Women Bus Tour Stops in Dallas and Fort Worth
Category: Abortion, State Fights, Photos
On Wednesday, the bus stopped in Dallas for a press conference outside City Hall that drew about two hundred supporters. In Dallas, even the dogs were decked out in orange to support Texas women! The program was led by the CEO of Planned Parenthood of Greater Texas, Ken Lambrecht, Cecile Richards, Senator Kirk Watson, Senator Sylvia Garcia and Senator Royce West.
From there, we hopped back on the bus and headed to Fort Worth where more than 1,500 people stood in the 100 degree heat to stand with Texas women. As State Rep. Chris Turner said, "It may be hot here, but it's nothing like the heat we'll turn up on Governor Perry and the state legislators attacking women's health."
Again, Senators Wendy Davis, Sylvia Garcia, Royce West wowed the crowd--ending the event to the age-old classic "Respect" by Aretha Franklin. This event was right in the middle of Sen. Davis' home district and her constituents showed up in force!

The United Kingdom Financial Reporting Council (FRC) has published the final report of the Market Participants Group that has advised the FRC on its Choice in the UK Audit Market project.
Summary of Recommendations on Choice in the UK Audit Market:
15 Oct 2007
The Trustees of the International Accounting Standards Committee Foundation, under which the IASB operates, will meet on 31 October and 1 November 2007 at the offices of Morgan Stanley, 1585 Broadway, New York, NY 10036. The meeting is open to public observation.
New York City, Public Portion, Afternoon of 31 October 2007 (13:15-17:00pm)
The Standing Advisory Group of the US Public Company Accounting Oversight Board will meet Thursday, 18 October 2007 in Washington.
At the meeting, the group will address, among other things, the potential audit implications of the Securities and Exchange Commission's recent proposed rules and concept release regarding the use of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs). The SEC's proposed rules would allow foreign private issuers to file with the SEC financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRSs, as published by the International Accounting Standards Board, without a reconciliation to US generally accepted accounting principles. The SEC's concept release seeks comment on whether US issuers should also be allowed to file financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRSs, as published by the IASB. Click for:

Deloitte's IFRS Global Office has published a special edition IAS Plus Newsletter on Proposed Changes to Accounting for Joint Ventures.
The Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants has launched a New Website that Focuses on Transition to IFRSs and ISAs. It can be accessed through the Transition to International Standards icon located below the menu in the left column of the CICA Home Page www.cica.ca, and from the homepages of the Canadian provincial institutes.
We remind you that the deadline is Friday, 19 October 2007, for responding to IFRIC Draft Interpretation D22 – Hedges of a Net Investment in a Foreign Operation..
13 Oct 2007
Representatives of the IASB and the European Financial Reporting Advisory Group (EFRAG) will meet at the IASB's offices in London from 14:00h to 16:00h on Monday, 15 October 2007. The meeting will be open to public observation and will be webcast.
In his keynote address to the 2007 US-EU Corporate Governance Conference in Washington earlier this week, US SEC Chairman Christopher Cox discussed a range of issues including accounting convergence and potential SEC recognition of IFRSs.
The International Accounting Standards Board and the U.S. Financial Accounting Standards Board have for years been working on a convergence project to eliminate needless regulatory friction between International Financial Reporting Standards and U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. And that has made possible the SEC's announcement that we are taking the next steps on our Roadmap to eliminate the reconciliation requirement in the United States, and that we are even considering allowing U.S. issuers to use IFRS....
IFRS promises to integrate our markets. But that promise is jeopardized if IFRS isn't applied faithfully and consistently across jurisdictions. Regulators must beware the impulse to develop nationally-tailored versions of IFRS, and we must cooperate with one another in implementing a set of standards that is faithfully and consistently applied.
Since 2005, the SEC has been following a publicly announced 'Roadmap' that charts a path to when issuers would no longer be required to reconcile their IFRS financials statements to U.S. GAAP. We're well down the path charted in the 'Roadmap', and we're still very much on track to eliminating the reconciliation requirement by 2009.

This marks the first time in more than 30 years the city of St. Joseph won't hold its annual Venetian Festival.
Back in September, the board of directors voted to discontinue and dissolve the festival for financial and logistical reasons.
That means this weekend's Krasl Arts Fair is the last big summer festival in St. Joe.
"Art festival is our busiest weekend, but Venetian Festival is next," said Tom Jennings, owner of the Pump House Grille. "So, it's really disappointing."
But other businesses complained the Venetian Festival drew people away from downtown.
Some closed during the festival because of crowd and parking issues while others say it just became too expensive to participate.
"It became overwhelming for us," said Ursula Nuechterlein, co-owner of Louie's Red Hots. "We actually didn't come out of it financially three years ago."
Nuechterlein and her husband decided not to participate in the festival the past two years because it became too much.
Vitale's Subs also didn't reap the benefits of the thousands of visitors that came to town for the celebration – last year's Venetian Festival weekend was their slowest of the year.
"I grew up here when Venetian first started out and it was a small festival to celebrate local food," said Vitale's owner Jason Rosenthal. "And then it became bigger and bigger and bigger. And I'm OK that it's gone because the people who organized it didn't remember where they came from."
Despite the festival being discontinued, some business owners want a new one to take its place.
"Our business association has a budget, we have hotels that are behind it," Jennings said. "I think we have members behind it. It may take a while, but I'm certainly hoping to push it next year."
But if a new festival starts up in St. Joe, others hope organizers will learn from Venetian's failures.
"How do we not make the same mistake twice?" Rosenthal said. "Let's pay attention to history."

From Cronuts To Piggy Tails
An article about the Cronut, an expensive and very popular hybrid pastry that merges a donut and a croissant, made me wonder if it was possible to create a donut filled with bacon.
At first, I envisioned a round jelly donut with a sweet bacon-jam filling. After some research I found a jelly donut dough that had the right balance of sweetness and texture, but the filling I'd put together from a combination of fresh cranberries, bacon, sugar, and ginger root overwhelmed the bacon, masking its savoriness. So I ditched the filling and changed my recipe to instead wrap whole strips of sweetened cinnamon-laced bacon in a jelly-roll donut pastry. I call these pastries Piggy Tails and my husband, friends, and neighbors think they have the potential to be commercially sold. I don't know about that, but I do think they make the perfect surprise treat for Mother's or Father's Day.
If you've never made donuts with yeast dough before, don't be intimated. The dough is easy to put together and rolls like a charm around the sweetened bacon strips.
Our cookbook Bacon Nation has many other recipes to make your mom or dad happy. Try the Downside-Up Apple Bacon Pecan Muffins, the Bacon-Cranberry Cornbread, Nuevos Huevos Rancheros, French Toast Bread Pudding with Bacon and Cinnamon, and the very easy Candied Bacon Slices.
Happy Mother or Father's Day, and happy cooking from Bacon Nation!
Piggy Tails
2-1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast (one 1/4 ounce packet)
½ cup warm water, 110 degrees F
¼ cup sugar, plus more for rolling and coating after frying, if desired
¼ teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups all-purpose unbleached flour, or more as necessary
2 tablespoons soft butter
2 medium egg yolks
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
1 to 2 tablespoons low-fat milk or water, if necessary
Canola or peanut oil for frying
16 bacon slices
1/3 cup light brown sugar, more or less
Cinnamon to taste
1.) Whisk together the yeast, water, and 2 teaspoons of the sugar in the bowl of a standing mixer. Let the yeast mixture set until it foams, about 5 minutes.
If the yeast fails to foam after 5 minutes, throw it out and start again with fresh yeast.
2.) In a large mixing bowl, combine the remaining sugar, baking powder, nutmeg, salt and 2 cups of the flour.
3.) Add the butter, egg yolks, and vanilla to the foamy yeast mixture. Mix for about 30 seconds on medium speed to incorporate the butter.
4.) Slowly add the dry ingredients to the butter-egg mixture and mix on low speed just until the dough starts to come together.
Change to a dough hook and knead on medium-low speed for about 30 seconds to 1 minute just until the dough is combined and still slightly tacky. Be careful not to over-mix or you will toughen the dough. (You can also knead the dough by hand on a lightly floured work surface, about 1 minute.) After kneading, the dough should be slightly sticky. If it's very sticky, knead in a little more flour. If it's too dry, knead in a little milk or water, one tablespoon at a time, to moisten.
5.) Transfer the dough to a lightly buttered bowl; cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, 1 to 1-1/2 hours.
6.) While the dough is rising, preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
7.) Set the bacon slices on a rack over a large roasting or heavy, rimmed baking pan. (You may need two baking pans to cook 16 bacon slices.) Sprinkle each slice with about 1 teaspoon brown sugar and cinnamon to taste.
Bake in the preheated oven 10 to 12 minutes or until the bacon is cooked, but still slightly soft and not too crisp. Remove from the oven, cool slightly on the rack and then transfer the slices to a paper towel-lined plate to drain and cool completely.
8.) Transfer the raised dough to a lightly floured work surface and cut it in half.
Set one half aside covered. Roll the other half into a 12 by 6-inch rectangle, about 3/8-inch thick.
Slice the rectangle into 8 strips, each 6 by 1-1/4-inches.
9.) Fold a strip of the cooled bacon in half lengthwise. Lay the folded strip at one end of a dough strip and spirally wrap the dough around the bacon, pulling the dough slightly and overlapping it as you wrap.
The dough will be somewhat flexible; don't be afraid to stretch it gently as you wrap the bacon. Leave ½ to 1-inch of bacon peeking out the end. Pinch the edges firmly so that they remain closed during frying. You can gently roll the "piggy tails" under the palm of one hand to press and seal their edges. Repeat with the remaining dough and bacon, transferring the pastries to a lightly greased baking sheet. Let rise, uncovered, until nearly doubled in size in a warm place, about 45 minutes.
10.) About 10 minutes before you are ready to fry the Piggy Tails, heat a large heavy-bottom pot with at least 1-1/2 inches of oil over medium heat until the oil reaches 350 degrees F on a candy thermometer.
Gently place the piggy tails into the hot oil, one to three at a time, depending on the size of the pot. Don't crowd them in the pan.
Fry them about 40 seconds or until golden brown on one side. Turn them over and fry about another 40 seconds. (The exact time will depend on the heat of the oil. Adjust the heat, as necessary, to maintain the oil temperature of 350 degree F. Using long-handled tongs, transfer them from the pot to a paper-towel-lined cooling rack when they are a deep golden brown on both sides.
11.) If desired, in true jelly-roll fashion, roll them while still warm in a mixture of granulated sugar and cinnamon to taste. They are best eaten warm.
Makes 16.

What could I possibly be talking about?
Skin Inc, a Japan based company (always on the cutting edge) just released the world's FIRST skin supplement bar called My Daily Dose.
Here is the game. See the little droplet bottles above with the different colored circles floating about? Each one of those is a different type of serum specialized for a different type of skin need. For example, the purple one is Licorice serum for sensitive skin, the green one is Collagen serum for wrinkles, etc.
After taking a quick quiz, Skin Inc helps you identify your top 3 skin needs and recommends your 3 corresponding serums, THEN (and this is the fun part) you can choose one of these rainbow colored bottles and combine the 3 serums to make your own custom Daily Dose.
My Daily Dose consists of a little purple, sky blue, and red.

English 107: Introduction to Literary Studies I
Dr. Michael BibbyMW 3:30-4:45
English 107: Introduction to Literary Studies I
Dr. Cathy DibelloTR 9:30-10:45
Designed to be the first required course for English majors, Literary Studies I introduces the fundamental components of the major genres of literature (fiction, drama, poetry), including plot, character, narrative point-of-view, figures of speech, rhyme and rhythm. Students are taught to identify and evaluate those components in a range of representative works. This course will also teach the fundamentals of literary research and the conventions associated with writing about literature. In this section of the course, we will write three papers, present oral reports, and take two exams.

English 233: American Literature I Dr. Nathan MaoTR 9:30-10:45
English 234: American Literature II
Dr. Michael Bibby
English 236: British Literature I
Dr. Shari Horner
First part of a two-part, chronologically-based survey of
British literature. Works of drama, prose, and poetry by major British writers
of this period are studied.
Representative writers include Chaucer, Jonson, and Milton. In addition, some attention will be given to
the history ofideas associated with the writers of this period. Students
should expect to write at least one analytic paper dealing with one or more of
the works read for the course.
Course Description:
This course surveys English literature from its earliest 8th
century beginnings through the 18th century. That means we will cover 1,000 years of
literature written (mostly) in English, and we'll go fast. Our goal will primarily be
"breadth"-- you will (I hope) gain a clear understanding of the
history of early English literature, its landmarks and lesser-known works, its
movements and patterns, and its socio-cultural contexts. In addition, you will work on "English
major" skills: careful critical
analysis of literature through reading, writing, thinking, and talking. I will
occasionally lecture, but there will be many opportunities for you to talk in
class, and such talking is expected. You
will also have the opportunity to lead a class discussion.
Assignments may
At least two analytical essays (with research)

Dr. Carla KunglMWF 10:00-10:50
The course provides practical experience in writing critically
about the arts--music, dance, theater, painting, sculpture, literature,
photography, and film. During the
semester, in response to arts events on campus or in the local area, students
will write several reviews, plus an extended feature article on a particular
artist, group of artworks, or theme of contemporary artistic interest. For the most part, you will choose the
events that you write about and thus determine the deadlines for submitting
your work. I'll be like your "editor," offering suggestions for improvement in your work
as your create a professional portfolio, to be turned in at the end of the
In addition to our textbook, we will read a range of styles and
types of reviews from different media. We will also work steadily on writing
through simple but important exercises.
In keeping with the professional emphasis of the course, we will hold
several workshops and hands-on editorial sessions.
Overall, this course will be
excellent for students who are able to work independently and who have an
interest in building up a portfolio of quality work for newspapers or
magazines. My goals are to help you improve your writing style, to help you learn effective strategies for meeting different audiences' needs, and ultimately, to help you get published!

Obviously, no single course can fully represent the rich, diverse literature of this large continent, and African fiction cannot be reduced to a simple list of homogeneous traits. Instead, this course will focus on six novels and on the cultural, historical, and biographical background necessary to understand these works. This student-centered course will emphasize discussion and oral presentations. Written assignments include a short paper on Things Fall Apart, a longer paper on any of the course's texts, and a final essay exam. For English majors, ENG 385 fulfills the post-1800 Literary Traditions and the Multicultural Literature categories. For International Studies students, ENG 385 counts as a Selected Topics course.
Required Texts
Chineu Achebe--Things Fall Apart, Buchi Emecheta--The Joys of Motherhood, Sembene Ousmane--God's Bits of Wood, Ngugi wa Thiong'o--Weep Not, Child, Nuruddin Farah--From a Crooked Rib, and Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie--Half of a Yellow Sun
ENG 394: Selected Topics in EnglishDr. Matthew CellaMWF 1:00-1:50
In this course we will read and discuss various
works of American environmental
literature and examine the ways in which this literature influences our
understanding of the relationship
between culture and nature. We will
examine fiction, nonfiction, and poetry from "canonical" nature writers—like
Henry David Thoreau, Aldo Leopold, Leslie Marmon Silko, and Mary Oliver—as well
as foundational works of ecocriticism. The second half of the course will focus
on the literature of our local environment, the Chesapeake Bay Watershed, as we
will investigate how storytelling shapes the way we respond and connect to the
places we inhabit. There will be a variety of interactive field experiences at sites on and around campus meant
to enrich our appreciation of the role literature plays in fostering
sustainable communities, particularly in this era of accumulating environmental
crises. Requirements will likely include a series of reading response essays as
well as a longer research paper. There will also be a midterm and final exam.
Readings may include but are not limited to the following: selected essays from Henry David Thoreau, Gary Snyder, Barry Lopez, Annie Dillard, Gretel Ehrlich, Edward Abbey and Rachel Carson; Leslie Marmon Silko's Ceremony; James McBride's Song Yet Sung; and Lamar Herrin's Fractures

a larger one), and upon approval from the community contact, will build that
site. The site will then get presented to the client at the end of the
By the end of the
semester, you'll learn how to make clean, navigable sites using Adobe
Dreamweaver, improve clarity and coherence in your writing across different
platforms, understand thoroughly how purpose and audience affect your
work, and develop greater skill in document design. In this small
seminar-style course, students get individual attention and have freedom to work on projects meaningful to them.
Students who have
gotten jobs in the fields technical writing, editing, or web site building tell
me that this was one of the most valuable courses they took here at Ship. This
class is also part of the Technical/Professional Communications Minor and can
fill up fast! Technical/Professional Writing I is being offered Winter Term; students can register for both courses at the same time.

The well-read Don Banks recently posted an article on SI.com regarding the San Francisco 49ers' issues with Jim Harbaugh. Though I am sure most 49er fans are tired of hearing about this, I would imagine most are equally scared that these reports may be true.
Banks suggests that this next season could be make-or-break for Harbaugh–seemingly ridiculous considering Harbaugh's extraordinary run of success. Banks points to Harbaugh's consistently short tenures, however, as well as his strong, Type-A personality and perceived desire to obtain more control over the 49ers' personnel as indicators that his time in the Bay Area may be running out. Banks also suggests that the 49ers brass feels strongly in the qualities possessed by Jim Tomsula, the 49ers' defensive line coach and interim head coach for one game at the end of the Mike Singletary years, as a possible head coach.
A couple of thoughts on this. First and foremost, Harbaugh has earned a top of the line salary. Winning a Super Bowl means a lot, and it takes a lot of talent to do that–but it also takes a certain amount of chance and good fortune. That should eventually go Jim Harbaugh's way. Secondly, why in the world should the 49ers let Harbaugh walk and keep Trent Baalke? The last two drafts have produced almost nothing, leading to an aging roster that is in need of a young revamp. If anything, Harbaugh should be given the personnel responsibilities he appears to crave and let the results speak for themselves.
The 49ers may be tempted to play hardball with their head coach. For the sake of the franchise and the fan base, I certainly hope that is not the case.
