The Woodchopper's Bawl
"Like loggers," wrote arts editor Patricia Ohmans in 1993, "City Pages arts writers spend a great deal of time chopping down trees and very little time surveying the forest." When Ohmans made this assessment in her report on "The State of the Arts," she and her fellow writers at this paper had already been wandering the arts wilderness and hacking at dead wood for years. As Ohmans went on to note, however, the constraints of weekly opinion-making too often meant that short articles and shorter deadlines preempted more in-depth coverage. In those early days, theater critic Robert Collins set the tone for much of the arts writing to follow with short, crisp reviews of local productions, including, of course, those of the venerable Guthrie, but also highlighting the efforts of smaller, now-defunct troupes like Chimera Theatre. As early as 1981, Collins was declaring Broadway "a museum for dead art"--an evaluation that seems remarkably sage in retrospect.
Shortly after its evolution from the local music rag Sweet Potato into the more inclusive music, arts, and news rag City Pages, the paper expanded the scope of its coverage to include visual arts, dance, and book reviews. Though reviews were customarily relegated to the aft of the paper, individual articles often distinguished themselves through wit and the absence of the bland boosterism endemic to mainstream arts coverage. During the mid-Eighties, profiles of local painters, poets, and playwrights began appearing under the broad heading "Arts Pages." Such longer arts feature stories would eventually become a staple of the newspaper's coverage and would generate some of its most interesting writing.
Notable early feature stories included Collins's diatribe against the prospect of a "national theater," an incisive analysis of then Guthrie artistic director Liviu Ceulei's decision to end the theater's rotating repertory schedule, and an early profile of playwright August Wilson written by Michael Phillips. In 1990 Judith Lewis also wrote about Wilson and the Guthrie in a caustic and controversial article criticizing the venerable theater's tendency to ignore African-American playwrights. Though the relationship between critic and artist remained occasionally adversarial, it was clear that by the time Lewis's article appeared, City Pages was becoming a sounding board for local artistic debate--a paper that spent as much time surveying the forest as inspecting the trees.
In addition to traditional theater, dance, and literary criticism, by the mid-Nineties the arts section began including more ambitious and discursive surveys of the culturescape. These stories were as different in style as those who told them, and they often veered into unexplored territory. Will Hermes's 1995 discussion of heterosexuality in literature, for instance, was a model of a new sort of arts feature that was not bound to a single event or news issue, but free to roam with the writer's imagination. While the new didacticism of the arts feature often stayed the left-leaning intellectual course of the alternative press--censorship is bad; in the art-versus-commerce debate, art must triumph; hypocrisy sucks--City Pages writers also used the platform to discuss the changing climate of the arts world.
In the late Nineties, the most significant development in arts criticism was prefigured by New Yorker dance critic Arlene Croce's sight-unseen dismissal of a performance piece by a gay African-American artist. Although it was a grandstanding move on Croce's part, it also signaled a shift in the arts and, by extension, arts writing. "Identity art," a genre broadly defined as art that presupposes the supremacy of bathos over aesthetics, was quickly becoming a fixture of the arts. In City Pages, Julia Caniglia weighed in eloquently and ferociously with a cover story titled "Why Art Sucks." Up to that point, no single article had so completely epitomized the forum for wider cultural debate that alternative arts writing had become. The forest was larger and wilder than ever, but arts writing had grown with it.
Great audiences demand great art, but great audiences are made, not born.
Robert Collins, August 10, 1983
Before the federal government, or any government or foundation, antes up money to chase after the chimera of a national theater, let's make certain that the regional theaters have the kind of funding they need. If we can't support the theaters we already have, how can we justify creating another white elephant?
Robert Collins, December 14, 1983
Drama can be found in a library, but theater is what happens when the curtain goes up.
Robert Collins, September 10, 1986
One can't help but wonder if the Twin Cities didn't, in Lou Bellamy's words, let one get away. But [August] Wilson is not the kind of man to seethe about anything--even if he wonders aloud if the Guthrie Theater mightn't have considered doing Ma Rainey's Black Bottom if it hadn't been a "black" play.
Michael Phillips, April 1, 1987
Like the art they show, the galleries are not weakened by occasional missteps: Their strength is in the chances they take, in their diversity....Though it's hard to generalize, most of the local spaces show a broad range of artists working in a variety of media, and their success is as hard to quantify as personal aesthetic taste. In the end, we all have to make our own judgments. And the only way to do that is to get up and go.
Jeffrey Kastner, August 9, 1989
Now, there are many reasons to praise the Guthrie, but I doubt that they, or any other theater of their stature and influence, will ever reach the point where we can all just sit back and accept what they offer without question or criticism. In a healthy artistic climate, an arts organization should thrive on controversy.
Judith Lewis, May 23, 1990
Probably the smartest thing I've ever heard [Jeff] Koons say is that his work competes with TV and movies by using their techniques of manipulation and seduction (all the while communicating that love, warmth, and happiness, of course)....His work is art for our times, bound up in head-spinning layers of contradictions, media hype, and self-promotion, along with kernels of social truths and genuine enigmas.
Julie Caniglia, January 14, 1993
Leave it to Duchamp to irrevocably muck things up. In his tsunami-scale wake, to admire the play of colors and forms in art suddenly seemed nostalgic or sentimental--almost a guilty pleasure.
Julie Caniglia, November 16, 1994
Cut a deal with your conscience: Stop aggravating yourself with thoughts of how silly and pointless the touring shows are, as long as there are no Bradys or Partridges or Osmonds in the cast. If there are, then you deserve to vent a little.
Carolyn Petrie, January 4, 1995
The identity politics at the fore of art-making, grant-giving, and critical theory these days has done a great job creating new communication channels; trouble is, much of that communication is inter-tribal. And if you're not in the tribe, everyone seems to agree you're on shaky ground if you want to get into the conversation.
Will Hermes, February 8, 1995
In the six years since the opening salvos of the so-called culture war, Jesse Helms and his legislative ilk have mostly given up their attempts to define art. Instead, they're hoping to end public arts support altogether. Is this the death of the arts? We don't think so.
Will Hermes and Julie Caniglia, November 8, 1995
I hate art, I've taken to saying to friends lately, and only half jokingly. I'm not talking about pretentious beret-wearers, or obtuse theory masquerading as art, or even just bad art. I'm talking about art that's had vitality and surprise and play and pleasure sucked out of it, art that's only concerned with its rightness and virtue, art that urgently--desperately, one might say--foists its Message on the audience. I'm talking about a particular, not insignificant share of the art that enjoys recognition by major funders these days, and has found a measure of prominence in local galleries, museums, and performance spaces.
I don't need, for instance, to be told by performers that the message of Diva X, a recent and otherwise quite funny show at Patrick's Cabaret, is "self-love for all that you are...without apology, without qualification." Nor do I want to hear that "women are strong, spiritual, powerful, and beautiful," as a recent film screened at Walker Art Center's Women in the Director's Chair series proclaimed. Simply reading that a dance piece is about the state of U.S. arts funding is enough to make me stay away.
In the art world as elsewhere, the multiculturalism that appeared so revolutionary ten years ago has curdled into a fractious politics of identity, resulting in a new and, for the most part, incredibly banal didacticism: work that "explores" this personal issue or "documents" that social problem, that "provokes" the viewer regarding the artist's identity, or "confronts" the artist's traumas (usually of childhood origins). Art has become burdened with the duties of affirming, establishing, or asserting "identity," with healing or otherwise helping a certain "community," or imparting platitudinal messages of social or political import. It's become a therapeutic forum in which everyone insists on having her say before an audience of witnesses, believers, potential converts, or even penitents.
Julie Caniglia, April 24, 1996
Yet above the fanfare that has trumpeted Dowling's revivification of a venerable theatrical institution and will no doubt accompany this new season, a troubling set of questions has come into focus. The theater faces momentous challenges--feeding the maw of the box office, surviving a national funding squeeze, and beating off new competition from touring blockbusters--and the shifting identity of the Guthrie may be edging toward a kind of definitional paradox: How many compromises can the Guthrie make to preserve its mission without compromising the mission itself?

Back in September, the New York Times' Alessandra Stanley ruffled the feathers of TV producer Shonda Rhimes when she took the position that the star of her latest series 'How To Get Away With Murder', actress Viola Davis, was "less than classically beautiful."
"Less than classically beautiful" perhaps being a politer way of branding the "darker skinned", full-lipped, Afro-wearing Davis as…ugly.
Scoring responses from both Rhimes and 'The Help' actress shortly after, Stanley's remark-albeit "well-disguised"- saw her place a megaphone to whispers uttered just as much by casting directors in Hollywood as they are by sales-hungry A&R execs in the world of music.
"If it ain't light, it ain't right."


text: My first thought before I even read the thread verbage was situational awareness (SA). It cannot stop everything by a longshot but it sure can reduce the odds. In the video, however, we are not talking about night darkness and we are not talking about (at least I think) bad areas with much crime---it seems to be, for whatever reason, some kind of ridiculous random act although I do wonder (what happened maybe a few minutes before all of this?--I find it difficult to imagine this guy just ran up and punched her--makes no sense and if it makes no sense odds are there is more to this than meets the video). I am 71 and maybe I am just lucky but I have always aired on the side of SA/common sense and never ever felt a need for defense of any kind. There is no doubt that your first order of defense, even with cases like this one, is SA and on a statistical basis I would easily agree with anyone who tells me that SA is and should be at least 90%, if not higher, of your defensive priority with the remaining 10% or less being your firearm or other personal defense equipment or physical knowhow. There is a good chance if you should somehow find yourself in a "scenario", it is due to poor SA in the first place.

What operating system(s) can this be accomplished with? Or what software is needed?

Theories of voluntary disclosure suggest that even when disclosure is voluntary, market forces can drive firms to completely reveal information about their quality. This column investigates these predictions in an experimental setting. Laboratory results suggest widespread failures of the theoretical predictions – senders do not fully disclose, and receivers are not fully sceptical about non-disclosure. This suggests a role for policymakers to help customers understand the sound of silence.
Ginger Jin, Michael Luca, Daniel Martin, 22 July 2015
Vincenzo Galasso, Tommaso Nannicini, 22 September 2013
The perceived tone of a product or political advertisement affects public response – even holding constant the content of the message. This column provides evidence that men and women react differently to positive and negative tones in electoral advertisements. Negative advertising increases voter turnout among men but not women; positive advertising tends to win women's sympathy but alienates men. This should inform gender-specific tailoring of targeted advertisements.
Ferdinand Rauch, 13 November 2012
Advertising is expensive and thus raises the cost of goods, but it may encourage competition that keeps prices down. This column addresses the old question with data from a natural experiment brought about by tax harmonisation in Austria. It argues that on average advertising decreases consumer prices and estimates that if the 5% tax were abolished, consumer prices would decrease by about 0.25 percentage points.
Diane Coyle, 03 December 2011
Have economists been asleep at the wheel? This column reports from a conference on the psychology and economics of 'scarce attention'. Among the ideas discussed is whether too much information can blind decision-making and whether this can explain why so many economists missed the warning signs of a crisis.

International Eye Foundation is dedicated to helping people see! Since 1961 IEF has taken up the challenge in poor countries around the world, helping to restore sight and prevent blindness. IEF offers strong new strategic directions that focus on making eye clinics financially self sufficient. IEFs achievements include developing eye health services, training ophthalmologists and para-medicals, and fighting vitamin A deficiency, trachoma and river blindness. IEF is now strengthening the management, quality of service, and income generating activities so that eye clinics are less dependent on outside donors and government funds.
IEF programs to help people see in the developing world are under the umbrella of SightReach(r), which has three components addressing disease targets, barrier of cost to eye care, and financial sustainability:SightReach(r) Prevention: - Programs target the 4 conditions responsible for 80% of the world's blindness - cataract, trachoma, onchocerciasis, and childhood blindness.SightReach Surgical(r): - A social enterprise to eliminate the barrier of high cost of providing quality eye care and surgery. Offers high quality ophthalmic medical and surgical supplies, instruments, and equipment at low cost in order to bring down the price of eye care and surgery while ensuring that the poor and indigent still receive quality care.SightReach(r) Management: - Enhances financial self-sufficiency of eye care providers leading to improved quality of service outcomes and sustainability of eye care services.

The IEF is an excellent small humanitarian NGO whose 30 year goal has been the prevention / reduction of blindness in the developing world. Ninety percent of all world blindness / low vision is in middle- income and low - income countries.
They have had amazing success with limited funds.They use their resources well. Would strongly recommend this eye NGO. They do great work.

I have been a donor to this organization for a number of years. The reason I first started to give was because of the programs they have in Latin America.
I have continued to be a donor and have increased my donations over the years as I have seen what an outstanding job they do working in developing countries all around the world.
IEF spends their money on the things that matter - i.e. directly on the people who need help, not on overheads and fancy offices.
I would recommend this charity to anyone who is interested in preventing blindness and restoring sight .

The Origin of Democracy in Athens
A new explanation of the origin of democracy is presented, motivated by historical observations from ancient Athens. It is argued that volatility in wealth across generations encouraged the elites to extend the franchise to nonelites. While being among the elite allows for the extraction of wealth from the nonelite, if there is a significant probability that one's offspring will fall from the ranks of the elite, then the enfranchised may have the incentive to provide democracy. This proves an insurance for one's offspring. Furthermore, providing this protection allows, in certain environments, an elite to consume more in his life.

Anyone else having this problem? I have all the relevant boxes checked but the emails just stopped coming.
Anyone else having this problem? I have all the relevant boxes checked but the emails just stopped coming.
is the address in Settings, General correct?
it's probably a setting, you just haven't found it yet.
Did you recently upgrade to 3.1?
Install/activate any new plugins or deactivate any plugins that you had running?
wpbless: Thanks, but my comments notifications were coming in fine before.
JarretC: Yes, I did upgrade to 3.1. Is that what's affecting it? I haven't installed/activate/deactivate any plugins recently.
I haven't heard of any issues with 3.1 not causing emails to be sent out.
Does the inbox the mail is being sent to have enough room to receive more messages?
same problem and it's driving me nuts - i have at least a dozen WP blogs and I think I know how to get email notification when someone makes a comment, but not this time... any clue out there???
Not sure what the issue is but I think I may be experiencing this also. I think it might be related to a change where the post author is getting an email instead of the site admin. Does that apply to you guys as well?
I have absolutely no clue here, and after more than a week still no light at the end of the tunnel....
And if I ask my theme support, they'll tell you to look in the wp forums etc. At least someone shoudl be able to give me a clue as to where to start looking. Ooh well. ;)
look at this http://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/17710
i had the same problem and reported it as a bug
But they say it's no bug, it's a feature. So I am working on a plugin that fixes this problem. I think I'll manage to publish it this evening
here it is: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/notify-me/
I do not get access to the svn and I do not know why. so you find my plugin in my blog http://www.net-developers.de/blog/2011/06/08/notify-me-ein-plugin-fur-wordpress-3-1-aufwarts-sendet-eine-e-mail-nach-dem-bestatigen-von-kommentaren/
It usually takes a few hours for things to update, be patient.
Also, that links sends you to a 404 page and then redirects you to some other site.
ok, so I'll try again later.
The link to my article does not work yet, but it will do soon (when my article is ready)
But I have already uploaded the source files of "Notify me!": http://www.net-developers.de/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/notify-me-1-0.zip
The plugin is very very simple, it only overrites wp_notify_postauthor(). But it works!
I hope it helps you
My plugin was approved and can be found here http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/notify-me/
Could it help you?
My blog post about my plugin is now online http://www.net-developers.de/blog/2011/06/08/notify-me-ein-plugin-fur-wordpress-3-1-aufwarts-sendet-eine-e-mail-nach-dem-bestatigen-von-kommentaren/

Is Kate Middleton Pregnant? War Horse Premiere Photos May Start More Rumors (Photos)Sunny Chanel
Someone should tell Kate Middleton not to carry her handbag in such as way. Why? Because it will just start rumors that she could be pregnant.
It isn't the most natural way to carry a purse, so when a celebrity holds a handbag in such a way, well, people will talk.
While at the War Horse Premiere in London, Kate Middleton stunned on the red carpet with husband Prince William. The duo looked amazing. Kate wore a Alice Temperly black lace gown that accented her tiny wait and slim figure but it did seem to accent more of a stomach shape than usual.
It could be the fit, the style, the lighting or maybe there is a royal bun in the oven? Check out these photos and see for yourself.
Kate Middleton 1 of 4Kate and Prince William
The Tummy 2 of 4Hmm....thoughts?

I bought a set of these sheets in cobalt blue. They were a bit rough like hotel sheets at first but have softened up a bit after a few washings.
I love these sheets! I've had them on my daughter's bed for almost a week now and I'm absolutely loving them! They're a bit thicker with the 200 thread cnt, when I normally find sheets this price with only 180 thread cnt- very nice with a rough-housing two year old! And the multi colored dots go with just about anything! So great! She's so into Spongebob right now and they go perfectly with the Spongebob blanket she has, yet, they'll still go perfectly with any other comfortor she chooses! I LOVE them!
I'm a young teen re-doing my room to green and white. These sheets really pop my green throw I have. I love all the colors on the sheets. It really brightens up my room outfit! ♥
These sheets are soft and wash well.
I bought this product for my grandaughter who is 17. She just loves it; squealed with delight when she got it. It was just in time and appropriate for the New Year Holidays when wearing polka dots are supposed to bring "money" and good luck. I like it too. Polka dots beddings are a beautiful contrast to boring stripes and pastel shades in the bedroom.
I bought the racy pink and nectarine orange sets for my 2 1/2 yr old's room and they look great. I also bought the chino pink and orange striped curtains to go in her bedroom and it all goes together perfectly!! Would recommend to anyone, they're nice and affordable!!!
This goes great with the matching polka dot rug! Gives any room a very festive atmosphere. Quality is good and the granddaughter loves her new polka dot (primarily lime green and hot pink) room! Would definitely recommend this.
This is my second purchase of "your zone" sheets, they are super. Nice and crisp, love the colors. You won't be disappointed.
As titled, very nice quality for the price, you cant beat it! Plue they look really cute with the comforters I picked out!
a fine set of sheet.... excellent color, thread-count, beautiful & durable.. a BONUS====it came with a storage pouch!!!!!
The product was as described in the product info section. These are very lovely and comfortable sheet sets.
I am extremely happy with these sheets. They are so soft. I am actually going to purchase another set.
I like these sheets they are soft and silky like sateen but not. they are comfortable .
wish they were softer, but they will work. wish I could find 100% cotton sheets

Description: This film is set in a post-zombie world where a treatment called the "Return Protein" can stop the spread of the virus if injected quickly after infection, but cannot cure it. With daily injections, the "Returned" are able to live relatively normal lives, but with brutal attacks at the hands of Anti-Return groups and rumors that protein stock is running low, the world is again on the brink of chaos. In the midst of this turmoil are Alex and Kate, a young, successful and enviable couple that are hiding a long held secret - Alex is Returned. Suspicious that a government order for all the Returned to report to a secure medical facility 'for their own safety', the couple flees, taking with them all the doses of "Return Protein" they have. Now in a race against the clock and few places to turn, they must face their worst fears and come to grips with the reality that if they are neither human nor zombies, who exactly are the Returned?

Philadelphia police are asking the public for help in solving three sexual attacks in the Northeast over the last two months that they say could be related.
At a news conference Friday, Capt. John Darby of the Special Victims Unit said there were similarities in all three assaults, which happened within a dozen blocks of one another between April 25 and May 28.
In all three cases, the women were walking on city streets at night alone when a man approached from behind and grabbed them. They described their attacker as white, in his mid-20s, about six feet tall with a thin or medium build.

Can the Anonymous hacktivist collective hack the First Amendment?
A petition filed this week with the White House seeks to decriminalize distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks, making them a legal form of protesting. In other words, it would extend the First Amendment's protections to protect people's right to disrupt websites.
"Distributed denial-of-service (DDoS), is not any form of hacking in any way," claims the "We The People" petition request. "It is the equivalent of repeatedly hitting the refresh button on a webpage. It is, in that way, no different than any 'occupy' protest."
According to the petition, "instead of a group of people standing outside a building to occupy the area, they are having their computer occupy a website to slow (or deny) service of that particular website for a short time." The petition also calls for anyone jailed for a DDoS-related crime to be immediately released, and the related charges to be expunged from people's arrest records.

While the identity of the person who created the petition is partially anonymized -- it's ascribed to "Dylan K" of Eagle, Wis. -- members of the Anonymous collective are clearly backing the petition. "We Need Your Signature! Make, distributed denial-of-service (DDoS), a legal form of protesting," read a Friday YourAnonNews Twitter post.
For the White House to respond to the petition, the request needs to garner 25,000 signatures by Feb. 6. By Friday morning, however, the petition had received only about 2,000 signatures.
The First Amendment enshrines both the right to freedom of speech and "the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances." The DDoS petition, then, implies that current laws should be updated to protect people's right to disrupt websites. "With the advance in internet techonology (sic), comes new grounds for protesting," reads the petition.
The request highlights the fact that that there are currently different rules governing website shutdowns vs. interrupting businesses in the real world. For example, in many Western countries, protestors can choke the entrance to a business -- or even city streets -- for a few hours, and it's legal. "And the digital equivalent of that, a DDoS attack that takes a website offline for a few hours, is illegal," said Mandiant VP Grady Summers at last year's RSA conference in San Francisco. The prosecutions of numerous people involved in DDoS attacks -- or in some readings, protests -- further makes that clear.
If the petition gathers sufficient signatures, and the White House responds, would DDoS fans have any chance of seeing website disruptions get classified as a form of protest? Most likely Congress would need to pass a law that protects DDoS attacks as a form of free speech. Given that federal legislators can't even agree on a bill to protect people's privacy rights online, good luck scheduling a DDoS discussion.
In the meantime, law enforcement officials will no doubt continue to prosecute DDoS attacks. But FBI officials have said they're not unaware of concerns over people's right to protest online, and emphasized they're required by law to protect people's civil liberties, including online.
"That is a huge concern for us ... and there are a number of challenges associated with this," said Eric Strom, unit chief for the Cyber Initiative and Resource Fusion Unit Cyber Division at the FBI, at last year's RSA conference. One of the chief challenges, he said, is that many people who launch DDoS attacks are minors.
How does the bureau gauge when online speech or protests cross a legal line? "If they're just complaining about something, or an issue, they have every right to do that and certainly we don't have a problem with that," he said. "It's when they take that step across the line, to make a point ... [and] they hack into a system, or go after say someone in law enforcement and their families … obviously we're going to take a big interest."

The cybersecurity profession struggles to retain women (figures range from 10 to 20 percent). It's particularly worrisome for an industry with a rapidly growing number of vacant positions.
So why does the shortage of women continue to be worse in security than in other IT sectors? How can men in infosec be better allies for women; and how can women be better allies for one another? What is the industry doing to fix the problem -- what's working, and what isn't?
Is this really a problem at all? Are the low numbers simply an indication that women do not want to be in cybersecurity, and is it possible that more women will never want to be in cybersecurity? How many women would we need to see in the industry to declare success?

Montrose Elementary receives grant for 'recess renovation'
Montrose Elementary School students jumped rope, played hopscotch and participated in games of foursquare recently on their newly painted blacktop during recess. But now, recess for Montrose students is a bit different. With the help of a grant from Capital One, Montrose was able to launch "Organized Recess," a time of day where students can participate in cooperative games that double as "teachable moments" in the areas of social skills and good citizenship.
"We have done some research and gathered that organized recess decreases discipline incidents," said Montrose Principal Dana Baldacci. "So we decided this year we'd do several days a week of organized recess, and through this grant, we are able to do it."
Capital One volunteers came out early in the week to repaint the blacktop and then again later in the week to show students how to safely use the equipment in a variety of games that aimed at fostering participation and fair play (pictured). Each classroom also received a bucket full of new recess materials that encourage students to interact and play with one another in a collaborative way.
"This is a great opportunity that Capital One gives us to give back to the community and the neighborhood," said Tim Gunn, a Capital One employee. "It's been a great experience, one of the kids even said it was better than field day, so that's just sort of the icing on the cake for us."

Cheesy Baked Orange Roughy
Total Time
Prep 1 hr 10 mins
Cook 25 mins
This is not very fancy, but it sure does taste good! It's what I came up with after my kids refused to eat fish sticks and frozen breaded fish filets...I've tried it with fresh bass and perch, but my favorite is made with Orange Roughy (less fishy-tasting and economical, I think...) NOTE: 60 minutes of the prep time is 60 minutes of marinating time.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 1⁄2 lbs orange roughy fillets (If using frozen, then thaw first)
- 1⁄4 cup butter, melted
- 1 cup crumbled cheese crackers (I use Cheese Nips and finely crush them in a big baggie)
- 1 teaspoon parsley
- 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
- 1⁄4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1⁄4 teaspoon red cayenne pepper
- 1⁄4 cup lemon juice
- Make sure fillets are in even-sized serving pieces. Cover fillets with water and add lemon juice. Marinate 1 hour. Drain filets and pat dry with paper towls.
- Mix seasonings and cheese cracker crumbs in a flat bowl.
- Put melted oleo in another flat bowl.
- Dip each filet in melted oleo and then into crumb mixture.
- Line a cookie sheet with foil and spread crumbly fillets on top.
- Bake in a pre-heated 400 degree oven for 20-25 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets.

An interesting and different way ti prepare fish. If you are feeding children or those who don't like spicy things, you might want to cut back on the peppers.
I found this recipe to be easy and very good. I did make a few changes and that was not to add the salt and I used cheeze-its instead of the nips but since there is salt on the crackers I thought it would be best to not add more. I also didn't have parsley and I was a little leary in making it without but I had everything else and went for it. I certainly didn't miss the parsley but next time I make it I will try it with the parsley. I've already added this to my "Cookbook". Thanks!
My DH & I eat fish 3-4 nights a week so I'm always on the search for new ways to prepare. This recipe was DELICIOUS! I skipped the marinade all together and as we have to follow a lower sodium diet I skipped the salt and used just enough cheese crackers to put a decent coating on each piece of fish. Baked as directed as it was absolutely YUMMY! Definitely will be added to my line up for regular use.

Band history still to come.
More Underground Reviews Current Updates Print article Rating explanation
OK, here we go, down the Progressive lane again.
NEVERBORN is an Australian Death Metal band and it takes less than a minute until the listener realises that there is also a whole lot of Progressiveness on "Decimator." This is the third full-length attempt of this band, but they have all been self-released. I am not sure why, but one reason could be that the labels have a hard time grasping the music of this band, because it is fairly different from the rest of the Death Metal scene.
In the band's official biography, comparisons are made to FEAR FACTORY (because of "kick-driven rhythms") and MESHUGGAH (because of "unusual timing structures") and I can agree with that. A very modern production and some similarities to everything from American Death Metal to Screamo, Metalcore or Nu-Metal can also be heard.
I realised instantly that this album was not for me.
The vocals are shrill and Screamo-influenced, there are many weird keyboard effects that sometimes conjure an almost industrial feeling, and the kick-rhythms timed oddly with vocals and uninteresting guitar-work only created annoyance for me.
In my opinion, Death Metal should deliver thundering, heavy-as-hell songs, filled with frenetic drumming, energetic distorted riffing and deep growls. "Decimator" does not do any of this. The riffs are almost impossible to follow, the drumming is an advanced mess, and the vocals don't have the depth I require from Death growls.
The main problem however, is the damn progressiveness. It tries to create variation but makes records sound the same as all the new rhythms and wild ideas take away the melodies.
However, there are some more positive aspects of the record. The song "Why?," for example, is better and more varied, in the way that I define the term. Some occasional parts, like the drumming inferno in the beginning of the opener and the piano in the closer, are pretty cool. That (and the ferocity with which the band tries to make music) earns them a few points.
Nonetheless, most of the album is sadly lost to mumbo-jumbo. The Progressive plague strikes again!

The chairman of the Consumer Product Safety Commssion asserts: toys sold in the United States are safer than ever.
Inez Tenenbaum appeared at a toy safety event at the giant Toys R Us store in New York's Times Square. She says new federal laws passed since the recalls of lead-painted Chinese toys have increased safety.
So far this year, there have been fewer than 40 toy recalls, about a quarter as many as last year. Tenenbaum credits increased enforcement at US ports of new standards for imported toys.
She says her office has been working closely with toy importers and manufacturers in China, where about 80 percent of US toys are produced.

Neolithic culture series in the Yishu River Basin developed in the order of Beixin culture-Dawenkou culture-Longshan culture-Yueshi culture. During the early and middle stage of Longshan culture (4600–4300 cal. yr BP), the climate in the Yishu River Basin was warm and wet. Paddy-oriented agriculture planted paddy was very developed. The society was flourishing with great amount of archaeological sites. The cooling starting in 4200 cal. yr BP made the paddies shortfall in output or even no seeds were gathered. This situation intensified the discrepancy between population and resource. The scarcity in natural resource led to substantial decrease in population and subsequent drop in archaeological sites. About 4000 cal. yr BP Longshan culture was displaced by Yueshi culture which was relatively underdeveloped, simple and unsophisticated.

Apple negotiates 15 cents per $100 spent on Apple Pay transactions
Date: Monday, September 15th, 2014, 11:54
Category: News, retail
Apple's apparently got some admirable leverage where its transaction negotiations are concerned.
Per the mighty Financial Times, Apple will be garnering 15 cents on every US$100 purchase, more than Google managed for its Google Wallet initiative.
Sources familiar with Apple's banking and credit card arrangements have stated that Apple will get a 0.15 percent cut of every Apple Pay transaction conducted over its NFC-based Apple Pay system.
The new information adds to a previous report that noted Apple will collect fees from banks for customer purchases. What those fees were, exactly, was unknown at the time.

A Walk on the Moon
- Studio: Miramax Home Entertainment
- Release Date: Mar 26, 1999
Critic Reviews
- Critic score
- Publication
- By date
The elements in A Walk on the Moon, which is directed by the actor Tony Goldwyn (the bad guy in "Ghost") and written by Pamela Gray, feel miraculously right.
Even when it turns turbulent, the film sustains its warm summer glow, and makes itself a conversation piece about the moral issues it means to raise.
A Walk on the Moon not only effectively captures the emotional development of all its characters, but it also neatly encapsulates the tumult of the 60s.
Tony Goldwyn, making his directorial debut, lets his cast do the work for him, and they hold up well.
The actor Tony Goldwyn, directing his first movie, and working from a fine screenplay by Pamela Gray, beautifully captures a moment in which the straitened moral world of the lower-middle-class Jewish characters is beginning to open up -- with necessarily painful results.
Pamela Gray's script and the way these actors bring the characters to life are the film's real treasures.
Moments of light comedy keeps the tone from becoming too heavy without sabotaging the movie's dramatic underpinning.
First-time director Tony Goldwyn (scion of the family that started MGM) brings a freshness to an old story.
Paula Gray wrote the script (it was her UCLA senior thesis), and if there are gooey spots, there's also nicely turned, lived-in dialogue and a gentle affection for all her characters.
This intimate, bittersweet romance is proof that a familiar story and the trappings of a done-to-death era can still seem fresh and engaging in the right hands.
Standing back a step from A Walk on the Moon's dippy charms, the movie delivers less than it initially promises.
It's just a simple, actorly drama about big, gaping emotional needs and the consequences a woman can face -- particularly during the 1960s -- for simply owning up to them.
The movie, which leans too heavily on the metaphorical value of the two historic events, dives from heady romance into heavy moralizing.
The movie's problem is that it loads the casting in a way that tilts the movie in the direction of a Harlequin romance.
Though short on subtlety, A Walk on the Moon does offer the consolation of some decent performances.
Despite strategic references to Joan Baez and pot, pic's sense of time and place feels synthetic.
The romantic plotting is so cliched that the denouement may as well have been e-mailed, and the director has fooled himself into believing that a rousing soundtrack is adequate shorthand for the mood of the flower power generation.

In addition to the objects of our desires becoming far more interested in the sharing of our suddenly precious body heat surpluses (and the acts of depravity that inevitably accompany it) we also benefit from body heat and bulk as regards our own comfort- as comedian Dara O Briain puts it, we "winter well".
So spare a thought for them and then remember our mantra. Fast fashion is like fast food. After the sugar rush, it just leaves a bad taste in your mouth. Instead of the sugar rush, consume less and commit to cherish more.

This time of year there is little better to do that to wear that sweater- if only we could do it day in day out- which is why I've put down three of my favourite knitwear brands for you to take a look at.
On a crisp November Friday evening, I had the pleasure of visiting the jaw-dropping decadence of the Victoria and Albert Museum to see their new monthly event, Fashion in Motion.
I was 15 when I was scouted to "model" for an American fashion brand (I'll give you a hint, it's the one with the topless models that reeks of overpriced aftershave). A size six and weighing in at just over 50kgs, I also had early-stage bulimia.
London is full of nostalgia and secret treasure troves. If you are a vintage hoarder and lover like me, you will always be on the hunt for the next amazing place. Whether a local Londoner or simply visiting the city, there are always places to go to take the ultimate trip down memory lane.
As the owner of a womenswear brand one of the most important decisions I have to make is the choice of model for our marketing campaigns. Aside from the ethics of our brand, as a woman, I am forever conscious of not wanting to present unrealistic body images.
Any and all of these goals can be applied to the fashion industry; as one of the biggest employers, producers, and polluters of any global industry, fashion touches everyone - from those who make it to those who wear it. As such, we all have a part to play in ensuring it becomes a fairer, cleaner industry.
The importance of getting the consumer's heart racing; to experience, be entertained, to interact with their smartphones and to shop is a more important (and more exciting) opportunity and 'retail canvas' than ever before.

When people ask me what I do, I am sometimes loathed to admit that I work in fashion. It is not the glamorous industry it sells itself as but rather a vast and reckless monster, bulldozing its way through the seasons.
On Wednesday 11 November 2015, we brought together more than thirty fashion designers, leading journalists and CEOs of major brands, retailers and manufacturers at the UK Houses of Parliament to discuss how sustainability can be taken to scale in the fashion and textiles industry and how the new Mysource.io platform will make that possible.
I know, I probably deserve it, anyone who willingly buys something so ridiculous probably does. But in truth it was purchased for my own entertainment, and also because I smash my iPhone as frequently as plates at a Greek wedding. Anyway, here are the 17 things people need to stop telling me about my phone case.

Does your child know their address? They should
Published: Saturday, January 17, 2009 at 8:00 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, January 14, 2009 at 1:23 p.m.
The story was chilling: An intruder fatally shot an Ohio woman in her home and fled with her 4-year-old son, abandoning him at a highway rest stop where he was found wandering.
But aided by a pair of good Samaritans earlier this month, the boy was able to tell what happened and provide his address and parents names. That led to the discovery of his slain mother and his return to his father.
His mother was credited with making sure he knew his facts. Experts say it should be a lesson for all parents.
Every parent should aspire to make sure their 3-, 4-and 5-year olds can do the same thing, said Ernie Allen, president of the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children.
The Ohio story demonstrates far better than words the potential and capabilities of these little people, who are aware and who can respond in times of crisis, Allen said. They just have to be taught what to do.
Parents should help kids learn their full name, address (including street, town and state) and their parents names and phone numbers, Allen said.
Children develop differently, so the age when theyll be able to memorize the basics varies, but learning can start during the preschool years, experts say.
Some time around 4 or 5, maybe 6, theyre going to get it, said Fred Rothbaum, a child development professor at Tufts.
For Heather Corradi, 4 1/2 was the right age for her daughter. Corradi began practicing with her daughter during car rides, and they talked about their street and town, and where friends and relatives live, too. It took her about two weeks to remember and not really get it wrong, said Corradi, of Glen Ridge, N.J.
Experts suggest parents matter-of-factly tell children its important for them to understand their basic information, and help build their confidence. Kids dont need to be told about dangerous scenarios in which the information may help, just that they should know it. They learn gradually through repetition, role playing and even games.
You can make a riddle out of it. Whatever your child finds funny, said Rothbaum. We all learn and respond well to fun.
Once they learn the facts, parents can check every so often to make sure they remember.
Repeating their phone number to a tune helped Shoshanna Maletts daughter, now 5, learn it a few years ago.
We would sing it with her almost every night, says Malett, of the Queens borough of New York City. She happens to be very musical, so she picked it up almost immediately.
