For his directorial debut, Matt Story wanted to put on a play with a social message. So when Amy Woodruff, artistic director of Theatre Louisiane, presented him with a piece that touched on mental illness — "The Insanity of Mary Girard: A Dream in One Act" — he knew he wanted to bring it to the stage.
"It's based on a true story of a woman who gets put in an insane asylum by her husband, Stephen Girard," Story said. "There's definitely some social relevance in the way we treat and view those who are mentally ill and the stigmas that come with someone who is mentally ill. We often just push them aside."
"The Insanity of Mary Girard," a one-act drama written by Lanie Robertson, opens Friday for a three-weekend run at the Shadowbox Theater in Bywater. Set in 1790, it tells the haunting story of a woman, Mary, whose husband, a wealthy French businessman naturalized in Philadelphia before the turn of the 18th century, has her declared legally insane after she gets pregnant by her lover.
At the asylum, Mary is strapped into a "tranquility chair." With no real treatment for mental illness at the time, such chairs were designed to ease inmates' anxieties.
She can't understand how or why she ended up there, and while she insists she isn't crazy characters called furies dance around her, impersonating people from her past, such as her husband and mother. Reality seems to be slipping away, and she begins to question her own sanity — as does the audience.
"What's really interesting is the dialogue," said Story, a Baton Rouge native who has a bachelor of arts degree in theater performance from LSU. "Each one of these people takes on a segment of the same sentence. It's five different voices, from five different directions, speaking this one thought. It's audibly jarring and it makes you start wondering: Am I mad?"
He said the unique nature of the dialogue requires the audience's full attention.
"It's going to be an audio exercise — an exercise in listening for both the cast and the audience," Story said. "You won't be able to sit back and just vegetate."
The cast is led by Woodruff as Mary and James Howard Wright Jr. as Stephen Girard. The other five members of the cast play dual roles with each playing one of the furies — Glenn Aucoin as Fury 1/Warder, Kristi Webb as Fury 2/Mrs. Lum, Tiffany Wolf as Fury 3/Polly Kenton, Michael Martin as Fury 4/Mr. Phillips and Rebecca Meyers as Fury 5/Mrs. Hatcher.
"We've got a nice blend of actors," Story said. Everyone is from the New Orleans area. "We've got some people established on the theater scene and some who are pretty new to the scene."
With this being Story's directorial debut, he admits he took on a challenging project. But "The Insanity of Mary Girard" is exactly the type of production he was looking to do. For one thing, he said, it revolves around a woman in which little is known.
"You can look all over the Internet, and there are a lot of facts about Stephen Girard. But there's very little about her. It's great that this play exists because it allows her to have her voice heard," Story said.
Besides mental illness, he said, the story also addresses the lack of power women had in the 1800s. Mary's husband is considered her legal guardian, and he makes every decision about her, including confining her to the asylum.
"Even today, there are a lot of men who believe they have control over what a woman does with her body," Story said. "Even though we're 200 years beyond this moment and we've made great strides, we're still in the dark in some ways."
In addition to starring in the play, Woodruff designed the costumes. The production crew also includes Aucoin as sound designer; assistant director Monica Harris; stage manager Rebecca McLaughlin; scenic designer Adam Tourek; lighting designer Vic Woodward; and mask designer Aubrey Schwartz.

Mustangs need win to make postseason
According to the so-called experts, this wasn't the year Sweetwater was supposed to get back to the playoffs.Yet that's exactly what will happen if the Mustangs (4-4, 2-1) defeat Monahans (4-4, 2-1) Friday at Mustang Bowl in the kind of game that will have a playoff-type atmosphere at kickoff."The kids are excited," coach Shane Mobley said on Wednesday. "I think they are going to play with a lot of adrenaline and effort. It should be a good game."Sweetwater vs. Monahans has always been an interes-ting matchup between a pair of West Texas schools with a longtime tradition of winning on the gridiron. And for the first time since 1999 — dating back to their 4A days — the teams are district rivals.Thanks to their respective wins this past week, it's a huge game that will send the winner to the playoffs while the loser will still have some work to do.Sweetwater played by far its best game of the year this past Friday in romping to a 42-9 victory at Big Spring (5-3, 0-3) — a resounding victory that likely knocked the Steers out of playoff contention. Monahans beat Snyder, 37-12, after leading by just 20-12 at halftime. The Loboes' only district loss, 20-17, was to No. 2-ranked Wylie (8-0, 3-0) just one week earlier.Sweetwater, which had lost 31-13 to Greenwood in its previous outing, came back with a solid all-around effort against Big Spring. The 42 points were a one-game high, and Sweetwater had no turnovers while for-cing two by the Steers.The Mustangs racked up touchdowns on their first three possessions to take a 21-0 lead before Big Spring rallied, but then answered with three more touchdowns to make it a rout.Mobley said Monahans is used to being in games like this. "They know how to prepare for an environment like what we'll have Friday night," he said. "We're prea-ching to the kids this is what we need to expect and to not let the hype get to them and get in their heads."We easily could be 6-2. We have talked about how good we can be. When you reach this point you can't be satisfied. You have to keep on working. "Last week was a big win. I think everyone wants to pick up from where we were last Friday, but Monahans has the same mentality. We've got to play four quarters of football."

The U.S. Supreme Court on Friday let stand a lower court decision to throw out a federal agency's $550,000 indecency fine against CBS Corp for airing singer Janet Jackson's "wardrobe malfunction" during the 2004 Super Bowl broadcast.
Jackson's right breast was briefly exposed to almost 90 million TV viewers after singer Justin Timberlake ripped off part of her bustier during a halftime show performance. CBS was fined $27,500 for each of the 20 stations it owned.

RAISE YOUR HANDS AND REJOICE — the 2018 schedules are here
Only 87 days until kickoff, my fellow mammals.
Well then, we hope that today's CIAC finals aren't a bludgeoning like Friday's Class LL title game.
Xavier coach Sean Marinan said that the team wanted to have a better run-pass balance this season and had thrown more in its first two playoff games.
The Falcons reverted back to their old hulk ways and smashed NFA, 48-14, with good ol' fashioned power running.
Xavier (12-1), ranked fifth in The Day of New London Top 10 state coaches' poll, ran 52 times for 408 yards.
Do the math — that's 7.8 yards a carry.
Chuck Banning, Cyrus of TEAM DAY, said it best: "It must be nice to have a Division I quarterback (Tim Boyle) throw just five times and still beat a team 48-14."
The Falcons' defense was just as imposing. They stuffed the Wildcats in the third quarter and limited them to minus-1 yard.
Remember, folks — this was the same Xavier team that lost at home to Hand, 40-20, on Oct. 12.
No one likes to lose, but that game gave the Falcons a good, swift kick in the butt. Ditto their 28-point, fourth-quarter deficit against Class M finalist Hillhouse on Oct. 26.
As you know by now, Xavier scored 29 points in 10 minutes and beat the Academics, 50-49, tying the state record for the largest comeback.
One last bit of numerologies — the Falcons outscored their final six opponents, 275-79. That included two regular season games against playoff teams (West Haven and Middletown).
Please let today's games be more competitive, even if it's just one.
■ ■ ■ ■
One last, last time with feeling — we recommend that you follow today's finals in these easy ways:
We recommend (for one last time this season) that you follow all the games in these simple ways:

ANSONIA PLAYMAKERS: Sr. LB Hezekiah Duncan; Sr. WR-DE Raeshaun Finney (9 catches, 229 yards, 4 TDs; 3 INTs); Sr. WR-LB Andrew Matos (38 catches, 975 yards, 13 TDs); So. QB-DB JaiQuan McKnight (1,300 yards passing, 23 TDs; 396 yards, 7 TDs; 3 INTs); Jr. RB Arkeel Newsome (2,008 yards, 35 TDs); Sr. RB-LB Saiheed Sanders (590 yards rushing, 6 TDs).
NORTH BRANFORD PLAYMAKERS: Sr. QB Brandan Basil (2,793 yards passing, 40 TDs; 390 yards rushing, 6 TDs); Sr. RB-LB Chris Caron (48 catches, 993 yards, 15 TDs); Sr. RB-DB Joe Delucia (42 catches, 702 yards, 13 TDs; 4 INTs); Sr. RB-LB Gary Falanga (101 tackles, 4 sacks); Sr. RB-LB Dale Hausman (1,311 yards, 13 TDs); Jr. RB-LB Josh Melaccio (91 tackles, 4 sacks).
WORDS: "Defense wins championships" is a cliche and also not exactly true given the number of high-scoring offenses that have blazed their team to titles. Defense will be huge in this game, though, as both teams average 49 points. Ansonia's offense isn't as balanced as the Thunderbirds'. It doesn't need to be with Newsome running behind a strong offensive line. It can throw when it wants and has an elite receiver in Matos. North Branford averages 234 yards passing and 227 rushing. The Chargers have the edge in experience having won Class M last season. Weaver set a state-record for most points in a final when it burned through Darien, 69-26, in the 1999 Class M final. Let's see if either Ansonia and/or North Branford can top that.
COMPUTER PICK: Ansonia 42, North Branford 27.
THE PICK: Ansonia.
NO. 2 BERLIN (11-1) v. NO. 4 HILLHOUSE (10-2)
WHEN: Today, 2 p.m.
CHAMPIONSHIP RECORD: Berlin 1-5; Hillhouse 4-1.
DAY COACHES POLL RANKING: Both are unranked.
CALPREPS.COM COMPUTER RANKING: Berlin No. 28; Hillhouse No. 6.
BERLIN PLAYMAKERS: Sr. Tyler Bouchard (30 catches, 450 yards, 4 TDs); Sr. RB Justin Gombotz (1,159 yards, 16 TDs; 15 catches, 263 yards, 2 TDs; 3 INTs); Sr. DB-RB Kevin Main (330 yards rushing, 7 TDs; 91 tackles); Sr. RB Scott McLeod (954 yards rushing, 10 TDs; 20 catches, 345 yards, 6 TDs); Jr. LB Dante Vasi (68 tackles); Jr. QB Mitch Williams (1,400 yards passing, 16 TDs).
HILLHOUSE PLAYMAKERS: Sr. RB-DB Andre Anderson (1,270 yards, 14 TDs; 82 tackles); Jr. RB-LB Harold Cooper (1,550 yards, 21 TDs; 14 catches, 248 yards, 3 TDs); Sr. LB Terell Fairweather (111 tackles, 5.5 sacks); Sr. DL Teno Simpson (78 tackles, 5 sacks); Sr. QB-DB Je'Vaughn Moore (809 yards passing, 8 TDs; 850 yards rushing, 7 TDs; 4 INTs).
WORDS: Hillhouse's losses were to state finalists Hand and Xavier. The Redcoats only loss was to Platt (34-14). Platt ran on all but nine plays with quarterback Andrew McBride and Justin Potts combining to run 56 times for 388 yards and five touchdowns. Berlin is facing an even bigger rushing threat in the Academics. They lead the state in offensive yardage (5,620) and average 401 yards rushing. Cooper is also the state's fastest player. Anderson, Cooper and Moore all helped Hillhouse win the 2010 state title. Gombotz (ankle) didn't play in Sunday's semifinal win over Weston and will be a game-time decision. Berlin needs him. The Academics better not get overconfident, though. It took Guilford lightly in Week 6 and miraculously escaped with a 20-18 win (Cooper sat out that game to rest his injuries).
COMPUTER PICK: Hillhouse 35, Berlin 19.
POLECAT PICK: Hillhouse.
NO. 1 HAND (12-0) v. NO. 2 WINDSOR (11-0)
CHAMPIONSHIP RECORD: Hand 10-6; Windsor 0-1.
WHEN: Today, 5:30 p.m.
DAY COACHES POLL RANKING: Hand No. 1; Windsor No. 4.
CALPREPS.COM COMPUTER RANKING: Hand No. 1; Windsor No. 7.
HAND PLAYMAKERS: Sr. WR Kyle Anderson (33 catches, 504 yards, 4 TDs); Sr. QB Brendan Bilcheck (2,125 yards passing, 17 TDs; 696 yards, 10 TDs); Sr. WR Caleb Ewald (57 catches, 936 yards, 9 TDs); Sr. DE Peter Gerson (6-4, 230); Sr. RB Ian O'Toole (858 yards rushing, 15 TDs); Sr. FB-LB Matthew Walsh (10 rushing TDs).
WINDSOR PLAYMAKERS: Sr. RB-DB Devonte Dillon (674 yards rushing, 5 TDs); Sr. QB Robert Quinn Fleeting (2,555 yards passing; 32 TDs; 655 yards rushing, 10 TDs); Sr. WR-DB Ryhieme Moore (49 catches, 962 yards, 10 TDs); Sr. DE Cole Ormsby (6-4, 230); Sr. DE Lance Ormsby (6-2, 185).
WORDS: Windsor has a great offense. It's among the state leaders, averaging 464 yards, and Fleeting is a dynamic and dangerous force. The Tigers defense is scary, though. It's painful watching the way they paste opposing players. Given the choice of getting hit by Walsh, or shaving with a cheese grater and using tabasco as aftershave lotion. .... please pass the sauce. Hand is also, um, an old hand in big games. It won last season's state title. It's beaten Hillhouse, Xavier and West Haven this season. And it's taken every team's best shot since being ranked No. 1 after its midseason win over Xavier.
COMPUTER PICK: Hand 31, Windsor 21.
POLECAT PICK: Hand.

It was a sad weekend for baseball fans
While I was gearing up this past weekend for the 81st LeFlore County Tournament, the state's longest-running basketball tournament, being the baseball fan I am, it was a sorrowful one for me in that regard.Three legendary baseball figures died over the weekend.Leading this list was Stan Musial, one of the greatest St. Louis Cardinals players to ever don the red and white. "Stan the Man," as he was known, was one of my late father's favorite players — and not just because he was a Cardinals fan.However, Musial wasn't the first of the three to pass. Earlier on Saturday, former Baltimore Orioles manager Earl Weaver passed.On Sunday, one of college baseball greatest coaches, Ron Fraser, died. I always put him in the same mold of the likes of Oklahoma State's legendary coach, Gary Ward. It always seemed like Fraser's Miami Hurricanes were not just one of the best teams in college baseball, but were College World Series regulars, and he never had a losing season in 30 years at the helm.For all three of you gentlemen, rest in peace — and thank you for giving us memories we'll always treasure.

Schiff Nutrition and M&C Saatchi ask consumers "Whose Heart Do You Love?"
MegaRed Supplement Focus of Unique 'Social Sampling' Valentine's Campaign
Last Updated: February 13, 2013 10:19 am GMT
(New York, New York--February 13, 2013) Schiff Nutrition Group, Inc. and M&C Saatchi NY have launched a Valentine's Day marketing campaign, "Whose Heart Do You Love," for one of the leading and fastest-growing Krill Oil supplements in America, MegaRed®. The innovative social media and sampling campaign, the first of its kind in the category, was timed to coincide with both Valentine's Day and National Heart Health Month.
Jennifer Steeves-Kiss, Chief Marketing Officer of Schiff Nutrition said: "Consumers really love the product once they try it, so sampling is an important part of getting the word out. Since Valentine's Day is about celebrating who you love, we wanted to use that insight to turn the sampling model on its head and expand the reach of our effort."
Through a custom Facebook application, MegaRed allows consumers to request a free product sample for their loved ones. As a bonus, the person requesting a sample on behalf of a friend also receives a free sample for themselves.
As part of the effort, Schiff is making a $100,000 donation to the National Coalition for Women with Heart Disease (http://www.womenheart.org). This component, noted Steeves-Kiss, "is meant to galvanize consumer participation around a worthy cause." It should be noted that according to a recent study by Latitude Research, 84% of people say they share online to support a cause.
Pierre Lipton, Chief Creative Officer of M&C Saatchi NY, said that "given the sampling effort is social in nature, so is the promotion behind it. There's virtually no paid media supporting the campaign." Instead, the brand is relying heavily on peer-to-peer distribution through Facebook and an influencer component on Twitter where several celebrities are tweeting their support for the effort. Among those are Jennie Garth, Toni Braxton and Joy Bauer, all of whom have a personal interest in supporting heart health. Blogger outreach is also being used to support the effort.
The campaign is further supported by a playful, one-minute animated video tied to the idea that 'no matter whose heart you love, keep that heart healthy this Valentine's Day with MegaRed Omega-3 Krill Oil'. Lipton added: "We thought there was something kind and sweet about the notion that love, like people, comes in many forms. And that regardless of who you care for, doing something that could keep them healthy is actually pretty romantic." M&C Saatchi partnered with the Los Angeles based animation company Stardust on the video, which will primarily live on MegaRed's YouTube and Facebook channels.
M&C Saatchi NY CEO Jeff Brooks said: "Schiff's challenge to develop an idea that would drive trial through earned media was incredibly appealing. Doing 'more with less' is the new reality for marketers, despite many brands remaining skeptical about how to use social media to drive commerce."
While social platforms are still primarily about community engagement, the explosion of commerce-supported experiences such as Pinterest, Svpply and Etsy suggests that social shopping is the new frontier. There is a growing trend around social commerce with Facebook driving over 25% of referral traffic to business websites, and Gartner Research suggesting that by 2015 we can expect 50% of web sales to occur through social media. Furthermore, Valentine's Day is one of the most social times of year both offline and online. According to the National Retail Federation, last year 141 million cards were exchanged, making it the 2nd largest holiday for greeting cards; and 66% of women and 44% of men talked about Valentine's Day on social networks.

We have written before about Jenny Hwa's work in eco fashion, both on her eco chic clothing collections as well as her recent work in home goods. Her new fall collection is inspired by conservationist and film maker Joan Root. While known for her collaborations with her husband in creating several nature documentaries, Root was also actively supportive in the preservation of the land of her childhood, Kenya. A life of purposeful artistic pursuit was fitting to inspire Jenny to create a collection that is utilitarian but feminine. The collection uses eco luxurious materials such as organic wool and cotton as well as hand-dyed eco silk and is proof that sustainable style can become part of any woman's everyday personal style.
Jenny Hwa's hopes to make strides in the world of fashion: "The intention of Loyale is to create fashion-forward, accessible clothing that is made locally with sustainable fabrics." She began her line of clothing back in 2005, making comfortable activewear made of organic materials for women- good to be worn to the gym or to yoga class. Desiring to widen the scope of her eco conscious work, she began to design clothes for everyday wear in 2007, a fruitful endeavor as Jenny has recently been recognized by Oprah Magazine and received the Eileen Fisher Grant for Women Entrepeneurs for 2008. She has also begun to expand her clothing lines to include men's and children's wear.
As a business, Jenny stands by her commitment to sustainability and practices eco friendliness in all parts of the business- from hangers and polybags for the clothes to tree-free paper in the office. The company also donates 3% of annual profits to GreenCorps.

Happy 75th birthday Woody Allen — if that's possible
Thanks to a great post by David Hudson, which I really hope you read, I'm aware that today is a big birthday for one of the talents that made me want to become involved in this whole show business thing in the first place.
I'll start off a couple of clips from my personal pet Woody Allen film, 1984's underrated "Broadway Danny Rose."
The philosophizing comes after the flip.

(a) FINDINGS- Congress makes the following findings:
(1) Over 150,000 youth offenders age 21 and younger are incarcerated in the Nation's jails, juvenile facilities, and prisons.
(2) Most youth offenders who are incarcerated have been sentenced as first-time adult felons.
(3) Approximately 75 percent of youth offenders are high school dropouts who lack basic literacy and life skills, have little or no job experience, and lack marketable skills.
(4) The average incarcerated youth has attended school only through grade 10.
(5) Most of these youths can be diverted from a life of crime into productive citizenship with available educational, vocational, work skills, and related service programs.
(6) If not involved with educational programs while incarcerated, almost all of these youths will return to a life of crime upon release.
(7) The average length of sentence for a youth offender is about 3 years. Time spent in prison provides a unique opportunity for education and training.
(8) Even with quality education and training provided during incarceration, a period of intense supervision, support, and counseling is needed upon release to ensure effective reintegration of youth offenders into society.
(9) Research consistently shows that the vast majority of incarcerated youths will not return to the public schools to complete their education.
(10) There is a need for alternative educational opportunities during incarceration and after release.
(b) DEFINITION- For purposes of this part, the term `youth offender' means a male or female offender under the age of 25, who is incarcerated in a State prison, including a prerelease facility.
(c) GRANT PROGRAM- The Secretary of Education (in this section referred to as the `Secretary') shall establish a program in accordance with this section to provide grants to the State correctional education agencies in the States, from allocations for the States under subsection (i), to assist and encourage incarcerated youths to acquire functional literacy, life, and job skills, through the pursuit of a postsecondary education certificate, or an associate of arts or bachelor's degree while in prison, and employment counseling and other related services which start during incarceration and continue through prerelease and while on parole.
(d) APPLICATION- To be eligible for a grant under this section, a State correctional education agency shall submit to the Secretary a proposal for a youth offender program that--
(1) identifies the scope of the problem, including the number of incarcerated youths in need of postsecondary education and vocational training;
(2) lists the accredited public or private educational institution or institutions that will provide postsecondary educational services;
(3) lists the cooperating agencies, public and private, or businesses that will provide related services, such as counseling in the areas of career development, substance abuse, health, and parenting skills;
(4) describes the evaluation methods and performance measures that the State correctional education agency will employ, which methods and measures--
(A) shall be appropriate to meet the goals and objectives of the proposal; and
(B) shall include measures of--
(i) program completion;
(ii) student academic and vocational skill attainment;
(iii) success in job placement and retention; and
(iv) recidivism;
(5) describes how the proposed programs are to be integrated with existing State correctional education programs (such as adult education, graduate education degree programs, and vocational training) and State industry programs;
(6) addresses the educational needs of youth offenders who are in alternative programs (such as boot camps); and
(7) describes how students will be selected so that only youth offenders eligible under subsection (f) will be enrolled in postsecondary programs.
(e) PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS- Each State correctional education agency receiving a grant under this section shall--
(1) integrate activities carried out under the grant with the objectives and activities of the school-to-work programs of such State, including--
(A) work experience or apprenticeship programs;
(B) transitional worksite job training for vocational education students that is related to the occupational goals of such students and closely linked to classroom and laboratory instruction;
(C) placement services in occupations that the students are preparing to enter;
(D) employment-based learning programs; and
(E) programs that address State and local labor shortages;
(2) annually report to the Secretary and the Attorney General on the results of the evaluations conducted using the methods and performance measures contained in the proposal; and
(3) provide to each State for each student eligible under subsection (f) not more than $1,500 annually for tuition, books, and essential materials, and not more than $300 annually for related services such as career development, substance abuse counseling, parenting skills training, and health education, for each eligible incarcerated youth.
(f) STUDENT ELIGIBILITY- A youth offender shall be eligible for participation in a program receiving a grant under this section if the youth offender--
(1) is eligible to be released within 5 years (including a youth offender who is eligible for parole within such time); and
(2) is 25 years of age or younger.
(g) LENGTH OF PARTICIPATION- A State correctional education agency receiving a grant under this section shall provide educational and related services to each participating youth offender for a period not to exceed 5 years, 1 year of which may be devoted to study in a graduate education degree program or to remedial education services for students who have obtained a secondary school diploma or its recognized equivalent. Educational and related services shall start during the period of incarceration in prison or prerelease and may continue during the period of parole.
(h) EDUCATION DELIVERY SYSTEMS- State correctional education agencies and cooperating institutions shall, to the extent practicable, use high-tech applications in developing programs to meet the requirements and goals of this section.
(i) ALLOCATION OF FUNDS- From the funds appropriated pursuant to subsection (j) for each fiscal year, the Secretary shall allot to each State an amount that bears the same relationship to such funds as the total number of students eligible under subsection (f) in such State bears to the total number of such students in all States.
(j) AUTHORIZATION OF APPROPRIATIONS- There are authorized to be appropriated to carry out this section $17,000,000 for fiscal year 1999 and such sums as may be necessary for each of the 4 succeeding fiscal years.

A Missouri Department of Transportation project to put a new surface on Carthage's main commercial corridor south of Fairview Avenue has been delayed a week.
A Missouri Department of Transportation project to put a new surface on Carthage's main commercial corridor south of Fairview Avenue has been delayed a week.
MoDOT said a project that will put new asphalt on Missouri Highway 517 in Carthage between Fairview Avenue and the southern-most Carthage interchange on I-49 will start on June 24 instead of June 17, weather permitting.
The streets to be resurfaced include Garrison Avenue, Fairlawn Drive and Grand Avenue, the Grand Avenue interchange on I-49, as well as the Roundabout where Fairlawn Drive, Grand Avenue and Airport Drive meet.
MoDOT said in a written release that all the work will be done at night to minimize the affects on drivers in Carthage.
The work will start at 7 p.m. on Monday, June 24, when crews close the I-49 ramps at Grand Avenue in the south part of town. Resurfacing those ramps is expected to take one night.
While the ramps are closed, drivers should plan to use the Fairview or Fir road ramps.
The workers will then shift to Missouri 571 in Carthage, where drivers should expect one-lane traffic in the big shopping district in south Carthage starting at 7 p.m. every night and ending at 7 a.m. each morning.
MoDOT said one lane will remain open during the work, however, drivers may be shifted away from where crews are set up working.
Toward the end of the project, a new guardrail will be installed at the interchange between Grand Avenue and I-49.
MoDOT said the work should be finished by late July. Blevins Asphalt, of Mount Vernon, is the general contractor on the $411,165 project.

Experimental Herpes Vaccine Upends Traditional Approach and Shows Promise
Study Finds Vitamin C Can Kill Drug-Resistant TB
Einstein Awarded $6 Million Grant to Develop New TB Vaccine Against Drug-Resistant Strains

Tuberculosis, caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, causes one in four avoidable deaths in the Third World and kills more adults than malaria, AIDS, and all tropical diseases combined. In recent years, there have been dramatic increases in the numbers of new cases worldwide - one of the consequences of the AIDS epidemic. In addition to these increasing incidences, there has been an emergence of M. tuberculosis strains that are resistant to all seven anti-tuberculosis agents. These alarming trends have caused the World Health Organization to declare tuberculosis a global health emergency, a distinction never accorded another disease. My laboratory has focused its efforts on developing systems to genetically manipulate mycobacteria, particularly M. tuberculosis. These tools have allowed us to: 1) develop the luciferase reporter phage assay for rapid assessment of drug susceptibilities, 2) analyze the genes involved in resistance to tuberculosis drugs such as isoniazid, ethionamide, and etyhambutol, and 3) to identify specific phenotypic properties associated with a tuberculosis pathogenesis. Current research efforts are aimed at identifying genes involved in the virulence of M. tuberculosis, identifying novel drug targets, generating rapid and robust phage diagnostics for drug resistant strains of M. tuberculosis, and engineering attenuated mutants of M. tuberculosis and other mycobacteria that can be used as live-cell tuberculosis vaccines.

UC Hastings Provost & Academic Dean Elizabeth L. Hillman was asked to serve on an independent panel authorized by Congress about the role of the Commander in sexual assault cases in the military. Specifically, the subcommittee was tasked with evaluating the issue of whether convening authorities should retain prosecutorial discretion.
The subcommittee voted 7-2 in favor of keeping prosecutorial discretion with command officers. Hillman voted against this practice, arguing that "we should vest discretionary authority to prosecute rape and sexual assault in the same people on whom federal, state, and many respected military criminal justice systems rely: trained, experienced prosecutors."
A full copy of Professor Hillman's statement is available here.
The Secretary of Defense, as required by Section 576(a)(1) of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2013 (Public Law 112-239) and in accordance with the Federal Advisory Committee Act of 1972 (FACA) (5 U.S.C., Appendix, as amended) and 41 C.F.R. Section 102-3.50(a), established the Response Systems Panel.
The Response Systems Panel will conduct an independent review and assessment of the systems used to investigate, prosecute, and adjudicate crimes involving adult sexual assault and related offenses, under Section 920 of title 10, U.S.C. (Article 120, Uniform Code of Military Justice), for the purpose of developing recommendations regarding how to improve the effectiveness of such systems.

In March 1965, at the age of 30, Soviet cosmonaut Alexei Leonov made the first spacewalk in history, beating out American rival Ed White on Gemini 4 by almost three months. Floating outside his tiny Voskhod 2 capsule for 10 exhilarating minutes, Leonov felt, he writes, "like a seagull with its wings outstretched, soaring high above the Earth." In keeping with the secrecy of the Soviet space program, few people—not even his family—knew about the spacewalk ahead of time. Even less well known was how close Leonov and his crewmate, Pavel (Pasha) Belyayev, came to dying that day. In his recently published book, Two Sides of the Moon, written with U.S. Apollo astronaut David Scott, Leonov recounts the spacewalk and its even more dramatic aftermath.

When my four-year-old daughter, Vika, saw me take my first steps in space, I later learned, she hid her face in her hands and cried.
"What is he doing? What is he doing?" she wailed. "Please tell Daddy to get back inside."
My elderly father, too, was upset. Not understanding that the purpose of my mission was to show that man could survive in open space, he expressed his distress to journalists who had gathered at my parents' home.
"Why is he acting like a juvenile delinquent?" he shouted in frustration. "Everyone else can complete their mission properly, inside the spacecraft. What is he doing clambering about outside? Somebody must tell him to get back inside immediately. He must be punished for this."
His anger soon gave way to pride when he heard a live broadcast of President Leonid Brezhnev's message of congratulations beamed up to me from the Kremlin via mission control.
"We members of the Politburo are here sitting and watching what you are doing. We are proud of you," Brezhnev said. "We wish you success. Take care. We await your safe arrival on Earth."
As I pulled myself back toward the airlock, I heard Pasha talking to me: "It's time to come back in." I realized I had been floating free in space for over 10 minutes. In that moment my mind flickered back for a second to my childhood, to my mother opening the window at home and calling to me as I played outside with my friends, "Lyosha, it's time to come inside now."
With some reluctance I acknowledged that it was time to reenter the spacecraft. Our orbit would soon take us away from the sun and into darkness. It was then I realized how deformed my stiff spacesuit had become, owing to the lack of atmospheric pressure. My feet had pulled away from my boots and my fingers from the gloves attached to my sleeves, making it impossible to reenter the airlock feet first.
I had to find another way of getting back inside quickly, and the only way I could see to do this was pulling myself into the airlock gradually, head first. Even to do this, I would carefully have to bleed off some of the high-pressure oxygen in my suit, via a valve in its lining. I knew I might be risking oxygen starvation, but I had no choice. If I did not reenter the craft, within the next 40 minutes my life support would be spent anyway.
The only solution was to reduce the pressure in my suit by opening the pressure valve and letting out a little oxygen at a time as I tried to inch inside the airlock. At first I thought of reporting what I planned to do to mission control. But I decided against it. I did not want to create nervousness on the ground. And anyway, I was the only one who could bring the situation under control.
But I could feel my temperature rising dangerously high, with a rush of heat from my feet traveling up my legs and arms, due to the immense physical exertion all the maneuvering involved. It was taking far longer than it was supposed to. Even when I at last managed to pull myself entirely into the airlock, I had to perform another almost impossible maneuver. I had to curl my body around in order to close the airlock, so Pasha could activate the mechanism to equalize pressure between it and the spacecraft.

Byzantine Chanting Workshop, Sept. 27-30
One of the most beautiful aspects of our Orthodox worship is the hymnography that is sung by chanters and choirs to lead the congregation in prayer. Antiochian Village's Byzantine Chant Workshop is designed for beginner and intermediate levels. Time will be spent chanting exercises / melodic formulas and liturgical hymns from music and text. This emphasis on learning and practicing formulas provides a learning environment for people with basic knowledge or no knowledge of the Byzantine Tones. All music is presented in western notation and will focus on the following three components:
The Diatonic Tones: Heirmologic/Brief Melodies
In this workshop participants will study the Byzantine Diatonic Scale and the Heirmologic / Brief melodies for Tone 4, Tone 8 (Plagal Four), Tone 1 and Tone 5 (Plagal One). Emphasis will be placed on learning to sight read western notation using the Greek scale (Ni, Pa, Vou, Gha, Dhi, Ke, Zo, Ni), chanting liturgical text appropriately and changing between Tones. A basic knowledge of chanting in the eight tones is helpful but not necessary.
Melodic Formulas:
These workshops are not "choir rehearsals" where the focus is on the practice of various liturgical hymns set to music. These workshops are designed to train singers how to chant by teaching the Byzantine scales and intense study of melodic formulas for the Tones. The study of formulas is essential if one desires to make the transition from choir member to chanter.
The Text:
"Let the servant of God sing in such a manner that the words of the text rather than the voice of the singer cause delight." - Saint Jerome
It is the words of the text and not the voice of the chanter that transforms and refreshes our souls by directing our minds toward God. Knowing and memorizing the formulas for each Tone will allow the chanter to bring the liturgical text to life in a way that is both prayerful and understandable to the people.
During the workshop, time will be spent breaking down text, analyzing it, and understanding how to apply the formulas. This course is designed for beginner and intermediate levels because we spend so much time learning formulas and applying them to text.
For information about the content of this workshop, please contact Dn. David Jacobs: email@example.com .
Registration questions should be addressed to Barli Ross: firstname.lastname@example.com or 724.238.3677 x425

Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has lavished praise on young forward Joshua King, saying he expects him to achieve big things.
The 20-year-old scored his first senior goal for Norway this week and the Old Trafford boss admitted he has been impressed with the young forward's progress this season, especially after a loan spell with mixed fortunes at Borussia Monchengladbach last term.
"Joshua King has done very well," Ferguson is quoted as saying on the official Manchester United website.
"We get mixed fortunes when players go on loan – Federico Macheda had a nightmare twice when he went to Sampdoria and then QPR with a change of manager just as he arrived.
"And then, with Josh, he didn't play much at Mönchengladbach last year and came back to us."
While Ferguson admitted sending young players out on loan can have an adverse effect on their development, he claimed King showed the correct attitude to put it behind him and had worked hard since returning to Manchester United in the summer, which now appears to be paying off.
"He did really well in pre-season and has been working really hard. He's shown he has good ability," added the Scot.
"He won the penalty for Norway and scored the third goal and that's bound to have given him a boost."
King is not the first young striker to be tipped for big things at the Red Devils, Ferguson's mention of Macheda is a case in point, and there is no guarantee that he will make the necessary grade to succeed at Manchester United.
However, Ferguson was enthusiastic about King's abilities and seemed confident they would take him to success in his career.
"He's very quick with a great physique and he should have a good career," he stated.
King has a formidable task breaking into the Old Trafford first team, as Ferguson has a potent attacking force at his disposal in the form of Robin van Persie, Wayne Rooney, Javier Hernandez and, one whom has made the step up successfully, Danny Welbeck.

Why is it called "CLOCKSS"?
CLOCKSS, or Controlled LOCKSS (for Lots of Copies Keep Stuff Safe), runs on LOCKSS technology, but unlike LOCKSS (an open network), CLOCKSS is a closed system.
Why join CLOCKSS?
Libraries are joining CLOCKSS to ensure the world's e-content is protected for future generations of researchers.
Publishers are joining CLOCKSS to preserve their titles in a secure dark archive without the cost-prohibitive expense of building their own preservation and storage system. The CLOCKSS Board deemed that when a publisher's content is triggered (see what constitutes a trigger event below), CLOCKSS should not charge libraries for access; instead, the triggered content is made available for free at CLOCKSS' host sites.
Who is eligible to participate in CLOCKSS?
Any research library or publisher, worldwide.
Why is CLOCKSS considered the most cost-effective archiving solution?
CLOCKSS leverages existing infrastructure
CLOCKSS Archive Nodes -- libraries selected to be the custodians of the archived content -- are housed at institutions that have existed for decades, if not centuries. CLOCKSS supports the library's role in society as a "custodian of culture." These institutions are located in geographically, politically, and geologically disparate locations in North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific.
CLOCKSS runs on proven digital preservation technology
LOCKSS technology has been safely and securely preserving web-published content for over 10 years and has evolved with web advances to preserve new content types.
What distinguishes CLOCKSS' from other dark archive solutions?
Business Model
Annual fees for publishers and libraries are set for a five-year period and designed to support operations during which time the Board will work to raise an endowment. The fees are intended to decrease at the end of the five years.
The Board considers an endowment critical to help cover costs. When times are tough digital preservation will not be a priority. An endowment will mitigate the risk to content preservation during economic downturns.
CLOCKSS is a tax-exempt, 501(c)3, not-for-profit organization.
Publishers and librarians have equal say to influence CLOCKSS policies, priorities, and decisions that will impact them the most.
CLOCKSS participants have the opportunity to be deeply involved in all aspects of our industry and help to keep the community's best interests at the forefront.
The CLOCKSS Board has two goals related to sustainability:
- Money spent on digital archiving competes with other needs. Minimize publishers' fees; publishers pass along costs to libraries. Minimize libraries' fees; leave libraries with more money to spend with publishers.
- Make triggered content freely available. Do not set up another subscription layer that keeps the content behind yet ever-widening access barriers.
CLOCKSS incorporates into its business model an endowment to be raised over a five-year period, which is expected to underwrite 80% of ongoing costs.
Minimum yearly costs are projected to be low enough to make it possible to raise an endowment to cover enough of these costs to keep CLOCKSS preserving materials during hard times. Because CLOCKSS is a 501(c)3 not-for-profit organization, contributions to CLOCKSS are tax deductible.
Both source files and presentation files are accepted for ingest and preservation.
CLOCKSS preserves the original files. When content is triggered from the Archive, the content is branded as the publisher's content.
Triggered content is made freely available via CLOCKSS host sites to everyone.
We're already participating in an archiving service. Why should we join CLOCKSS?
Low cost
CLOCKSS runs on proven yet low-cost, open source LOCKSS software. Participation in CLOCKSS costs as little as $450 for libraries and $200 for publishers.
Mitigates Risk
In any market, it is important to have a choice of solutions. Those institutions that can afford to prefer not to keep all their digital preservation "eggs" in one basket.
CLOCKSS is a not-for-profit, joint venture developed by libraries and publishers. Unlike other archiving solutions, CLOCKSS answers to its community, not a parent company. Libraries and publishers have built their own archive and get to participate in its management.
What is the CLOCKSS Advisory Council?
The CLOCKSS Advisory Council advises the CLOCKSS Board of Directors on matters relating to policies and practice of digital preservation and archiving. All participating institutions may appoint one representative to the Advisory Council. For more information, please click here.
How does the CLOCKSS board define a trigger event?
Trigger events include situations of non-availability of archived content in which:
Publisher No Longer in Business
The publisher is no longer in business or is no longer in the business of publishing content or providing access to previously published content and there are no successor interests or reversions or transfers of rights;
Title No Longer Offered
The publisher has stopped publishing and is no longer providing access to the content and there are no successor interests or reversion or transfer of rights;
Back Issues No Longer Available
The publisher has stopped offering or providing access to some or all of the back issues of the content and there are no successor interests or reversion or transfer of rights; or
Catastrophic Failure
While still publishing content, the publisher is not able to provide access to the content electronically due to technical or similar catastrophic and permanent failure.
Who gets access to content impacted by a trigger event?
Everyone. The materials are moved to several CLOCKSS host sites and made available to everyone for free.
What does content preserved in CLOCKSS look like?
Why contribute to CLOCKSS now, when it has a long-term payoff that will be freely available to everyone?
There are a number of reasons.
The mission of CLOCKSS is to make sure archiving remains in the hands of the community -- this is a mission for today as much as for the very long term. Libraries that contribute to CLOCKSS gain a seat on the CLOCKSS Advisory Council, and participate alongside fellow librarians and publishers to set the archive's policies. By contributing to CLOCKSS, a library makes sure that it has a direct voice in archiving decisions being made right now.
CLOCKSS needs each and every library's support today in order to continue to exist in the future. Your contribution and support today helps us build the reach and impact to fully serve all your library's archiving needs: it allows us to attract more publishers and content; it helps us reach new and smaller publishers whose content is most at risk; and it helps us add new initiatives such as archiving ebooks.
CLOCKSS saves your library from having to pay continually for access to orphaned content. CLOCKSS publishers have agreed to make their triggered content open access: the archive takes triggered from behind a toll wall and saves your library money on subscriptions.
There is some urgency: publishers have asked CLOCKSS to demonstrate that the library community truly wants triggered content to be open access. The publishers will not give us a second chance: they are taking a risk by contributing their content today, and need to hear from libraries that it's in good cause.
CLOCKSS and LOCKSS: What is different?
Content location and custody
• Libraries use LOCKSS to build and preserve their own local digital collections. LOCKSS re-instates the paper model where libraries purchase content from publishers and take custody of e-content in their own LOCKSS box, stored at their own library. A LOCKSS box is a digital bookshelf with automated preservation. Libraries use the LOCKSS technology to preserve the collection for their campus and to acquire valuable assets for their Universities. They are taking content ownership and building permanent library collections, rather than leasing temporary access to materials. Libraries install and maintain their own LOCKSS boxes, running the LOCKSS software.
• CLOCKSS is global archive that preserves content on behalf of all libraries and scholars worldwide. CLOCKSS preserves content in 12 strategically chosen libraries across the globe to optimize the content's safety against political and environmental threats. Libraries in Asia, Europe, and North America have a complete copy of the archive. Many libraries support CLOCKSS through financial contributions and by participating in archive governance; they do not store any technology locally.
Content access, to whom and when
• Content is served from a library's LOCKSS box to an institution's own readers when the publisher's site is unavailable. LOCKSS provides 100% continual access and 100% post-cancellation access to that institution's campus community.
• CLOCKSS preserved content is available free to everyone when it is not available from a publisher or "triggered" from the dark archive. Today, three titles are available open access from the CLOCKSS archive. CLOCKSS is the only archive that makes subscription content open access after trigger. CLOCKSS is the only archive that keeps open access content freely available after trigger.
• CLOCKSS is an international, global archive governed by librarians and publishers. Librarians and publishers participate in the Board of Directors and Advisory Council to oversee strategy, and policy. All participating libraries appoint a delegate to the CLOCKSS Advisory Council. In October 2009 the CLOCKSS archive became a non-profit organization.
• LOCKSS was founded in 1998 and is a self-funded department of the Stanford University Libraries.
CLOCKSS and LOCKSS: What is the same?
Preservation technology
• LOCKSS and CLOCKSS use the award winning LOCKSS technology to preserve content. The LOCKSS technology is "fault tolerant" and safeguards against the long term well documented causes of digital loss: human error, computer attacks, economic and organizational failure. • The LOCKSS technology preserves all formats (video, sound, pictures, text, etc.) and genres of content (e-journals, e-books, conference proceedings, etc.). The Global LOCKSS network works with over 450 publishers. After one year of operation, the CLOCKSS archive works with over 3o publishers.
Content is not behind a toll wall
• For both LOCKSS and CLOCKSS information access does not depend upon fees. Both programs implement a core library value -unfettered access to information.

It is Sunday night and I just woke up with the worst hangover anyone has ever experienced. I honestly wish I didn't wake up at all, but I had to. The officer told me to. While I was walking home in what you can only describe as "naked", I was trying to figure out how the hell I ended up in the park to begin with. And this is what I could remember:
Yesterday morning I woke up early-ish, extremely anxious about my big Ungrateful Ninja debut at the high school talent show. So anxious, in fact, that I bought a half-jack Jack Daniels at 9am to try and calm myself down a bit. After the first couple of shots didn't calm me down I grew tired of wasting my valuable time by pouring the alcohol into a glass and started drinking from the bottle. At that point the drinking became more fun than medicinal and I started listening to Childish Gambino and drinking aggressively to put myself in a performing mood. When my flat mate Nick came home he found me dancing around the flat wearing his underwear and a wig I made from toilet paper and cheese.
He berated me more for wasting the "expensive" two ply than wearing his underwear and forced me to drink coffee in order to get my shit together. At about 1pm I was mostly sobered up, and the anxiety began creeping in again. That forced me to take matters into my own hands, and after locking Nick in the bathroom I went out and continued my drinking at the bar. This time I put on clothes, but I took my toilet paper-cheese wig with me in case of an emergency. After a couple of drinks the wig was on and I was performing my incest cow character accompanied by a common Afrikaans pop song's backtrack. I was mooing and moaning brilliantly for about two minutes before an enraged pregnant bitch pushed me off the stage and chased me out of the bar.
It was cool, I had to leave anyway. I went to the school and drunkenly waited for my time to shine. After the announcer wrongly introduced me (Ungrateful Nina), I went on stage, closed my eyes and gave the audio & visual nerds the signal to start my song. When I opened my mouth to start gently echoing like a dolphin I started vomiting all over myself and the stage, but I tried to pretend that it's all part of the act, until I slipped in my own filth and slid off the stage. The last thing I remember was taking of my shirt and yelling at the audience to take pictures for their snuff sites. I was escorted out of the school hall by a disgruntled teacher and I took off my shoe and slapped him with it before running into the darkness. I guess I cried myself asleep on the park bench after that.
I just wish I knew where my beautiful wig was.

My Ghoul Friday
Check back often!
Recent Moans from the Minions...
Diane, a faithful visitor and friend to this website, has started a new blog calledWouldn't You Like to See Something Strange.
Yes. Yes I would. I always do.
She found this image showing that not all of us are still debating between brains and coffee.
No time to chat about it, but really there's not much I can say about the sculptures of Saúl Hernández besides stunning, breath taking and truly amazing.
See and learn more through the link above.
Gather round, my little ghouligans, and watch the equivalent of an online artist sideshow.
I've recently discovered a website called Sketch Theatre where you can watch some of your favourite artists create a sketch from start to finish.
A camera is positioned above the artist as they draw. The video is then played back at high speed for all to watch.
I was happy to see Greg Craola Simkins is the newest addition to their featured artist list. I'veblogged about Greg in the past. Worth a look for anyone who isn't familiar with his work.
But don't stop there. Check out their whole catalogue of artists. You'll find people like Travis Louie and Michael Broom as well.
I love zombies. I love zombie walks. I love being tongue-in-cheek when it comes to Jesus (I expect he has a wonderful sense of humour). With that in mind, you might think I would automatically support the Boston Zombie Outbreak scheduled to take place on Easter. But let's talk about this.
A little birdie by the name of zombiehorde tweeted today about the Boston event and I thought I'd check out what the hubbub was all about.
According to a couple of sources online, 2 years ago the zombie lovers had their march on a Saturday. Crowds of people dressed in zombie gear took to the streets in all their reanimated glory, converging at a main square in the evening hours. On that occasion, organizer Alli Auldridge pointed out there was no meaning behind the zombie walk except to have fun.
So what's changed?
It seems they decided 'with the mythology of the holiday in mind' to have this year's march on Easter Sunday between 12 pm and 4 pm. I would think a time slot like that increases their chance to cross paths with church goers and little Easter egg hunters. Was this intentional as well?
Glenn Liddell who is an organizer behind this year's event had this to say in a statement to a local news source:
Yesterday afternoon I did some experimenting with Super Sculpey. I've only used Sculpey once before, so most of my time yesterday was spent getting to know the medium. As I experimented, a new face appeared in front of me, and I couldn't bare to squish him back into oblivion.
This pattern repeated itself until I had a small army of unfinished mini-monsters. I call them The Underbiters.
I haven't given them hands yet (I kind of like them without hands, but I think they need some) and the bodies need some touch ups, but I'm pretty happy with how my first real session went.
I'll be adding a tutorial as I learn more about this product.
p.s. Thanks to everyone who sent birthday wishes!
Total self-indulgent blog today. Fellow haunter Dave was kind enough to sketch me up some birthday gruesomeness.
He must have done it while taking a break from the anchor and sign making happening over in his monster workshop. Made me smile. I love the half-crazed, half-delighted expression on the character's face.
I'm off to start my day. First will be a stop to get my license renewed (boo), but then I plan to hit the art store and stock up on some Super Sculpey. I've neglected this medium in the past, and decided it was time to play around with it. We'll see what little critters come of it.
Besides, I can't think of a nicer way to spend some time on your birthday than making monsters.
Tomorrow, March 25th, is the birthday of the woman whose head I live in. An early birthday gift was presented which has brought me much delight.
This is Lenore, the Cute Little Dead Girl and she is sitting on the desk as I type this. The poor soul in the snake's belly is Ragamuffin, her sidekick.
Roman Dirge is the artist. He's created both a comic strip and short animations of Lenore and friends.
I have a love/hate relationship when it comes to Lenore. I really enjoy the illustrations, but the online impressions of the artist leave much to be desired. I'd actually given up completely as a fan of this character because I couldn't find any good leads on new projects or even merchandise.
The big bad Sony copyright machine closed the only decent site where you could get a good sense of Dirge's work (speaking of which, not sure how long that link I posted above will be of any use). I can understand wanting to control how your work is promoted, but the webmaster wasn't making any money off the fan site. More importantly, the artist himself is but a scattered presence on the Web.
Keeping with yesterday's furniture theme, I'd like to share another chair with you. This one comes from FiveTen Studio and will set you back $7500.
It's completely covered in black feathers. I can't imagine you could sit on it without harming the delicate plumes, but it is nice to look at.
I first spotted this on Badder Homes and Gardens, a designer blog with an edge.
The folks over at Aksel Creations are doing some interesting things with fabric design.
We'll start with the simple and elegant organ tablecloth (pictured left). Understated creepiness is always a plus in my books. I like that it's subtle, and visitors may not recognize what the design is at first glance.
It's part of graphic designer Aksel Varichon's 2008 'Home Flow' household linen collection. You can buy similar oven mitts, aprons, place mats, and pillows.
Or you can skip the pillow and purchase an arm chair, choosing from 4 different designs (pictured below).
There wasn't any prices listed on the website, which indicates I can't afford it. But perhaps a rich bone-daddy out there might want to pick it up as, oh I don't know, an early birthday present for a certain ghoul?
King Unicorn sent me a link of interest for my Brains vs. Coffee debate. It lead me to this image of canned pork brains in milk gravy.
One serving has 1170% of your daily cholesterol.
Once the nausea subsided, I decided to do some research. Armour Star foods, which brings you such tummy-turning snacks as Treet Luncheon Loaf, is part of the Pinnacle Foods Group family. Their website reports that in 1948, Armour made the first deodorant soap Dial (at the time they'd been making soap as a by-product of the meatpacking process. Ew). I guess it makes sense since most of their food products make me feel unclean.
