Specific topics include alcohol, opioid and nicotine use disorders on HIV treatment outcomes, HIV and substance abuse treatment, interface with the criminal justice system, and pharmacokinetic drug interactions between treatment for substance use disorders and antiretroviral and tuberculosis therapy. His research has focuses on the development of and evaluation of biomedical and behavioral interventions to improve treatment outcomes. Newer research interventions are using mobile technology to improve engagement in treatment and to promote medication adherence. Additionally, his research, using health services research techniques and implementation science, seeks to understand integration of methadone, buprenorphine and extended released naltrexone and its role in primary and secondary HIV prevention, including linkage to and retention in care. A number of implementation science strategies are underway to examine scale-up of medication-assisted therapies in community, criminal justice and in primary care settings. His work has emerged primarily with a global health focus with funded research projects internationally in Malaysia, Ukraine, Central Asia, Peru, and Indonesia. He has participated in projects through the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, the National Institute on Drug Abuse, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Agency and the Center for Substance Abuse Treatment.

NASA may be preparing to announce an initiative to begin building a floating Moon base for future deep space missions following the U.S. presidential election next month, Space.com reported this week.
The space agency's rumored plan to construct and position a "gateway spacecraft" that could support a small crew of astronauts and serve as a staging platform for future missions to the Moon, Mars, and elsewhere in the solar system was first reported last month by the Orlando Sentinel, though NASA contractor Boeing had actually floated a similar plan late last year.
As with the Sentinel report, Space.com cited unnamed sources with insights into NASA's internal plans.
This is really pretty cool, if it comes to fruition. All your (moon) base belong to us...

The Dirty River Boys Put on Impromptu Concert for Young Fan
Cool stuff like this can't be exclusive to the Texas/ Red Dirt scene. I'm certain it happens in other scenes like, Georgia? But the difference is their scene is not our scene. And this is what makes ours the coolest one. Last week The Dirty River Boys played a show at a bar with a strict no minors policy, to the dismay of one of their young fans. Well, The Boys weren't having any of it. What they did next was beyond the call of duty, and just plain awesome.
From the Dirty River Boys Facebook:
Last week, we played at Capital Bar in Ft Worth where there is a strict "no minors" policy. This man and his son came and stood in the back alley so they could hear the show. We thought that was really cool, so we gave them a private concert right before we hit the stage.
Think about what they just did for a second. As a kid I know something of this magnitude would have had a profound affect on me. You never know, they may have gone and changed the trajectory of this young man's life -- for five minutes of theirs. I've been saying it for over a year, the Dirty River Boys are likely the best young live band in Texas or Oklahoma. If their sheer talent isn't enough for you to become a fan, this should be.

Not all fat is created equal. Find out which kind of dietary fat to avoid and which to choose for good health.
Most foods contain several different kinds of fat, and some are better for your health than others. You don''t need to completely eliminate all fat from your diet. In fact, some fats actually help promote good health. But it''s wise to choose the healthier types of dietary fat and then enjoy them — in moderation.
There are numerous types of fat. Your body makes its own fat from taking in excess calories. Some fats are found in foods from plants and animals and are known as dietary fat. Dietary fat is a macronutrient that provides energy for your body. Fat is essential to your health because it supports a number of your body''s functions. Some vitamins, for instance, must have fat to dissolve and nourish your body.
But there is a dark side to fat. Fat is high in calories and small amounts can add up quickly. If you eat more calories than you need, you will gain weight. Excess weight is linked to poor health.
The concern with some types of dietary fat (and their cousin cholesterol) is that they are thought to play a role in cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes. Dietary fat also may have a role in other diseases, including obesity and cancer.
Research about the possible harms and benefits of dietary fat is always evolving. And a growing body of research suggests that when it comes to dietary fat, you should focus on eating healthy fats and avoiding unhealthy fats. Simply stated, fat is made up of varying amounts of fatty acids. It''s the type and amount of fatty acid found in food that determines the effect of the fat on your health.
There are two main types of potentially harmful dietary fat — fat that is mostly saturated and fat that contains trans fat:
Most fats that have a high percentage of saturated fat or that contain trans fat are solid at room temperature. Because of this, they''re typically referred to as solid fats. They include beef fat, pork fat, butter, shortening and stick margarine.
The types of potentially helpful dietary fat are mostly unsaturated:
Foods made up mostly of monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats are liquid at room temperature, such as olive oil, safflower oil, peanut oil and corn oil. Fish high in omega-3 fatty acids include salmon, tuna, trout, mackerel, sardines and herring. Plant sources of omega-3 fatty acids include flaxseed (ground), oils (canola, flaxseed, soybean), and nuts and other seeds (walnuts, butternuts and sunflower).
Cholesterol isn''t a fat. Rather, it''s a waxy, fat-like substance. Your body manufactures some cholesterol. Your body also absorbs some dietary cholesterol — cholesterol that''s found in foods of animal origins, such as meat and eggs. Cholesterol is vital because, among other important functions, it helps build your body''s cells and produces certain hormones. But your body makes enough cholesterol to meet its needs — you don''t need any dietary cholesterol.
Excessive cholesterol in your diet can increase your unhealthy LDL cholesterol level, although not as much as saturated fat does. This can increase your risk of heart disease and stroke. Most foods that contain saturated fat also contain cholesterol. So cutting back on these foods will help decrease both saturated fat and cholesterol. The exception to this is tropical oils, which are high in saturated fat but contain no cholesterol.
Because some dietary fats are potentially helpful and others potentially harmful to your health, it pays to know which ones you''re eating and whether you''re meeting national recommendations. The Dietary Guidelines for Americans offer recommendations about dietary fat intake.
Here''s a look at the recommendations and common sources of each type of dietary fat. Be aware that many foods contain different kinds of fat and varying levels of each type. For example, butter contains unsaturated fats, but a large percentage of the total fat is saturated fat. And canola oil has a high percentage of monounsaturated fat but also contains smaller amounts of polyunsaturated and saturated fat.
Need help calculating what your daily fat intake should be in grams? Multiply your daily total calorie intake by the recommended percentage of fat intake. Divide that total by 9, which is the number of calories in a gram of fat. For example, here''s how a 7 percent saturated fat limit looks if you eat 2,000 calories a day. Multiply 2,000 by 0.07 to get 140 calories. Divide 140 by 9 to get about 15 grams of saturated fat.
If watching fat content is a good strategy, is it even better to try to eliminate all fat from your diet? No. First, your body needs some fat — the healthy fats — to function normally. If you try to avoid all fat, you risk getting insufficient amounts of fat-soluble vitamins and essential fatty acids.
Also, in attempting to remove fat from your diet, you may wind up eating too many processed foods touted as low-fat or fat-free rather than healthier and naturally lower fat foods, such as fruits, vegetables, legumes and whole grains. Instead of doing away with fat in your diet, enjoy healthy fats in moderation.
So now that you know which types of dietary fat are healthy or unhealthy, and how much to include, how do you adjust your diet to meet dietary guidelines?
First, focus on reducing foods high in saturated fat, trans fat and cholesterol. Then emphasize food choices that include plenty of monounsaturated fats (MUFAs) and polyunsaturated fats (PUFAs). But a word of caution — don''t go overboard even on healthy fats. All fats, including the healthy ones, are high in calories. So consume MUFA-rich and PUFA-rich foods instead of other fatty foods, not in addition to them.
Here are some tips to help you make over the fat in your diet:

Anyone Notice That Sites Don't Have To Rely On Google So Much For Traffic Any More?
from the the-value-of-earned-links dept
I have to admit that I was still a little skeptical of how big this would really be, but in the last year (and especially the last six months), I've really changed my mind -- and that's because we're seeing evidence of it directly. For years, our largest referrer every single day was Google. It wasn't even close. Every day, people came from Google (sometimes via searches, sometimes via things like Google Reader or iGoogle), and it simply dominated how people found us. Yet, these days, it's quite rare to see Google as the top referrer to Techdirt on any given day. Instead, it seems that every day we get an onslaught of traffic from at least one (and sometimes more) social communications platforms: StumbleUpon, Reddit, Twitter and Facebook now regularly come in as our biggest referrers. Google still drives a lot of traffic, but our traffic has certainly become a lot more diversified.
And while those companies certainly are not "competitors" to Google in the traditional sense, when it comes to the question of "the only way to be found online is Google," I can say empirically that's simply not true for us.
Along those lines, however, I should note that the reason those social communications systems work is because of people who like what we have to say and want to share it. That doesn't work if your content sucks, so if your content sucks, you may still have to rely on Google (but, even then, part of what Google tries to do is make sure the sucky content gets dropped down as well -- so the best solution might be to not have sucky content).
Related to all this, as we head into a brief holiday break (we'll be back next week, don't worry), I wanted to thank everyone who makes this community so fun and dynamic -- and certainly the folks who made this story possible by regularly sharing our stories on those other platforms. That's mighty kind of you, and it is greatly appreciated.
Finally, again, related to all of this, we never seem to post about the different ways to follow us online, even though most of you have probably figured it out on your own already. Of course, we have an RSS feed, a Twitter feed and a Facebook page (which often fails to update for reasons not at all clear to us). We also have an email list that sends out copies of each of the previous day's posts early in the morning (US time) the following day. You can sign up for that by putting your email address in the box in the upper righthand corner of this page. Feel free to follow us (or not) however you prefer, and thanks for being a part of the community.

Top common stories which are mentioned on a good method in The Holy
Book of Islam, particularly, in a chapter of Yousseif, the first story I will mention, that becomes distinguished between all stories of the same time because it is rarely to find a completed story in narration that like this, not only that, but also, after long looking up we found many verses having many stories on several chapters and different persons who chosen by the Creator to proclaim the Islam (the peace) over the whole world and guide them to a good way of Allah for receiving nothing because Allah is the Creator does not need any thing from the created beings, he just send persons for forerunning and preaching them as long as they do bad in their life and show them some of resurrection day marks either they choose the torture or the balefire of the inferno or the luxury and prosperity of the paradise as they were working in the lifetime. However, here I show some real and important stories of the elite men who paid themselves for triumph this religion .
First, I would mention about the complete story of Yousseif(Joseph) . It was played in Palestine and Egypt together with the existence of his father and brothers who counted about 11 from the body of his father. However, it narrated by some narrators who could keep this story completely in a good method, so, the verses of Koran give us information in detail about this story as mentioned.
" When a child Yousseif was born and reached a year of four and near, he has dreamed truly then recounted in the next morning to his father what did he see in the last night " My father, I saw yesterday eleven of planets with the sun and the moon are kneeling to me " then his father told him that " Do not tell your brothers for this dream or you will be fallen in their trap ". Thereafter, one of his brothers perhaps the eldest one told his father that " We will go tomorrow to journey dad, and want Yousseif goes with us for having playing and competition, then, he says that it is regretful to have been swallowed by the wolf in duration of your playing , oh dad we become there losers when it do and how it comes as long as we are together (group), when, they went sharing with him and all purposed to get rid of him as throw him into a deeper well ( in the darkness ) then (the divine teller told their father what do they act for his son) and do not know, then, at their return home back at the night told him in crying aspect that " O, dad we have gone for playing (away) and left Yousseif beside our belongings then (a matter is done) a wolf devoured him we know that you are not able again to trust us even we are true. Therefore, at their coming back they brought with the shirt of him blooded but untrue, then, said (the devil) hid to you the result so the patience is good and Allah is the supervisor on your doing .After a time of throwing the child in a well lonely group of people is going together sent their guide (for having taking some water from a well) then he suspended bucket down and suddenly surprised and found a boy then carried out him from a well and make him as goods (slave)and Allah is the all-knowing for their doing then sold him with cheaper money(little drams),meanwhile, they did not want to survive him with them, someone who bought him told his wife deal him with good manner, perhaps he interests us or we adopt him as kid, therefore, we(as divine teller) placed Yousseif on the earth and learnt him of recitation of speeches to have been speaking well with every one so when he has grown and reached an age of youth, was his last living with a governor of Egypt who supervised on his living himself, meanwhile, he was married a mellow woman and a governor was perhaps, in the same time, aged man and does not care for a sexology, even if, with his legal wife so this reason faced this one. However, when his wife was in age of youth or near she missed for his touching on her body and her spouse cannot do this so she must search on other to do instead her husband when she saw Yousseif with his beauty she wanted him to be as her spouse deal her as her husband on the bed .Whatever, she saw him with surprised staring towards him then she offered her self to him but he refused this because if he did this so he not becomes a prophet of this era because a prophet generally is a chosen man of more created people and must not to make a crime or a case in his life because he is a model of all people sent to the whole people for proclaim . However, when he saw her in this position ran away towards the doors while before she ordered a commission to her slaves for close the gates after his entering to her room so suddenly one of her relatives saw him going out of her room so he told her husband for this issue, then after, she called him again in the same room and before she prepared group of women hold knives in their hands then told him appear yourself Yousseif, thereat, they all were having apples cut in the center by a knife at every one so she suddenly surprised with hemorrhage of their hands for a knife of them that is done due to his beauty was more than every one they met before.
He and she stood before her husband with the judge beside to scrutinize in this case well he asked Yousseif for a day of that a case has been done there. But, before this was Yousseif invocated and supplicated his lord to get him down the jail, at this turning point when he has been jailed with two men who have worked in the royal court the former was working in the kitchen or was a **** and the latter was working a holder of wine-jars of a pharaoh, they saw him kneeling once and invocating other then they formed him as a pious, therefore, they told him their dreams as the first told him that " I have dreamed that I was holding a loaf on my head and some birds having eaten it " while, the other said that but for me " I was pouring a wine into jar of my lord " tell us Yousseif the trustful on those " O, the jail keeper, however, one of you will be reposted back to his career (started to work at feet of his lord once again)as wine-bearer while the other will be crucified and the birds will eat from his head, it's over. However, at the egression who is informed that Yousseif told remind me at your lord, thereupon, the devil acted to forget him so that he set in the jail for a while . However, the king speaks with his court men on a vision of that he was yesterday " I saw seven of fat cows swallowing seven other that are thin, and seven of grown well plants and seven other are not well " O people who is able to verdict my case this if you are real explainers of the dreams, they said it is not dream to explain and we are not real explainers of that dream(we do not know any thing for the knowledge of dreams), thus one of those who had been taken out from the jail, remembered after a time had been gone, a good man who told him about his dream exactly likes what is done with him said that I can do this but send me( to the jail to ask some one is there) Yousseif the trustful tell me on seven of fat cows swallowing seven others(that are thin), and seven of grown well plants and seven other are not (well) to show it to the people at my return, he said you will grow seven years more then what did you grow, you shall leave as it is but some as you need to eat then coming later other bad seven use what did you prepare but little of what did you store then a year comes with pleasure even the people will sink( in the Nile when it overflows ) and compress (the raisin), thereat, a king ordered them to bring him, when a messenger came to him, Yousseif told him go back and tell your lord what about the women whose hands were cut? My lord actually knows on their trick (when they brought in front of the king and he asks them on their hands) what do you say when you asked Yousseif for himself, we said, we swear that we did not see any thing bad on him, the wife of the governor of Egypt said that now the truth has appeared I proposed myself to him and he is real trustful(did not make any thing bad to me) then she confessed by her doing this then a king forgave her and said bring him to make him my own(near to me, may I need him in something), when a king talks to him and said you are now secured, he said make me on the whole treasures of the earth as honest, I am able to do.
Some times later, his brothers entered to him, he knows them well but, otherwise, they for him as unknown, when he prepared their tribe of camels of goods called them again with banning that they did steel a golden object jar of the king, bring me your father's son( because he found the object inside his loading) when do you not bring him to me, no goods for you at me, and do not come here(again), they said we will tell our father on a case, then he told his slaves to load their goods on their camels that perhaps they know it if they return back where their people when they returned back to their dad, as they said, oh, dad the goods is taken and the treasurer there wants my brother to send with us and we will be on him as guards, how to insure you on him as his brother you do, but, Allah is the best guard, when they opened the luggage found the goods is returned so they are enjoyed and told their father send him with us in this journey for having more other goods, I cannot give you your brother but if you give me a promise of Allah but they would narrow you after they do then he device them " O sons, do not enter(his court) through one gate but enter through different gates " when they do that, and Yousseif saw his brother before him, then after, Yousseif comes near to his brother and told him the true of issue.
Thereupon, he wanted to stay his brother with him and does not return with them then Yousseif shot his sight to the slave(to make for himself the following)to put among their luggage a golden jar of a king then make an announcement around the palace of a king that a golden jar of a king was stolen, so on, when they heard on this case informed to have been their journey halted to regain a golden jar of a king back where its last place so Yousseif himself said them check this luggage up for a royal stolen piece a wised man who called by Yousseif started a search with a camel of one of them and did not start with a camel of his brother so when he found a stolen piece in the luggage of his brother's camel then he said for who this camel ? his brother replied and said this is for me so he was taken as arrested in front of the eyes of his other brothers then, an elder brother supplicated him for a while to free(retrieve) his brother while Yousseif said no I cannot, you came here for a case not for steel then an elder one preferred to set down before a gate of the entranceway of Egypt even either his father give him a permission to return back home or I let myself here with no food and drink to get the dead, then at, their return to the palace saw their brother beside a treasurer of Egypt set with pleasure then told them could you remember Yousseif, brother of you, hey are you Yousseif as they said, yes I am, forgive us please, brother, Allah is All-forgiveness, take this shirt and throw it to the eyes of my father and come to here again together with him and his people, when his father had arrived there knelt before him all of his kids, so, he told his father about the young-age dream that was disappeared on his brothers before

A few months ago, on a drive into the countryside to visit friends, we passed Church Farm in Ardeley and our attention was grabbed….. a mixed, ecological farm, producing the widest range of meat, fruit and vegetables, Church Farm also serve fresh food from the farm at the Farm Butchery & Store, Farm Cafe and Jolly Waggoner Pub. We made a quick stop on our way back to explore the lovely little farm shop, buying up some amazing fresh eggs and other bits, and made a mental note to find out more about the place once back at home.
And we were so delighted we did! We soon discovered we could get a weekly delivery of vegetables from the farm and quickly placed our order….we now look forward to each delivery of amazingly fresh and carefully grown veg, not to mention cooking it and eating it! The produce tastes like things used to in my opinion….carrots have that wonderfully sweet and earthy fragrance, and cauliflowers have that great peppery taste. We used to have an Able and Cole box whilst we lived in London, but are finding the Church Farm box much more home-grown and honest, and it's wonderful to know our food has barely travelled!
And it doesn't end with the veggie stuff…. The free range livestock (and subsequent produce!) ticks all the boxes for us….They keep their animals in small extensive herds & flocks, using older slower growing traditional breeds to produce the best meat from healthy, happy animals. You can visit the animals to see for yourself, and the farm was set up with the advice and help of some of the UK's foremost farm animal welfare experts.
"All the animals are kept extensively and allowed to mature before slaughter. All animals can and are seen everyday by our farmers, co-farmers, and visitors. Our mortality rates are very low and our animals live on average twice as long as those in more intensive farm systems. We have a fully qualified on-site vet and call upon the RVC/Westpoint vet partnership for support where needed. The only way we differ from the Soil Association husbandry guides for all species (the highest welfare standards in the UK) is that we buy local straw and silage feed from local farms which are not organic."
Well how could we resist?! As a treat to ourselves then earlier this week, we visited the charming pub opposite the farm, The Jolly Waggoner, to sample some of the farm's other produce. The menu totally spoiled us, with stacks of us-friendly meat choices, as well as several very tempting veggie options. Adam and I both opted for the lamb though, his Dad the fish and chips, and his Mum the pork belly. ALL the dishes were amazing! Our lamb was perfectly cooked and accompanied by delicious pommes Anna and a scrummy jus….the pork belly was laden with amazing crackling and the huge battered hake was just perfect.
Prone to temptation as we are, we all went on to relish a pudding of walnut cake with butterscotch sauce….this too was just to die for and left us all very jolly and contented indeed! They serve real ales too, with a selection of guest ales from local breweries, and the wine list is pretty impressive too. We are sure to be back in search of a Sunday Roast!
Church Farm also boasts a woodland play area, walking trails, tea rooms and a campsite! All in all, seriosuly worth a visit!

My Faux Lanvin Grey Floral dress
Added Feb 13, 2013
Paris, France
I love Lavin.
And I love this dress!
What I don't love, is the hefty price tag that comes with these beautiful creations.
So when I spotted this grey cotton print (I think it said it was a Kenzo print) at Les Coupons de Saint Pierre, I snatched it up right away.
The patten itself is very very simple and from another Japanese sewing book called "La Couture au Feminin" by Jinko Matsumoto. There are no darts, just three panels each for the front and back, (so basically a tent dress), tied at the waist with a matching sash.
Overall a easy and cute dress!
The back has a two-button closure, no zipper.
This dress has no lining just facings.
Material Notes
printed cotton…by why not silk?

Remember this "library" where everyone commented, how can it be a library, there are no books?!!! So, I changed the name to the rather boring sounding "TV Watching Room."
Well, you can see here, among the gorgeous Bennison and Rogers & Goffigon fabrics and M. Naeve antiques, there ARE some books, here!
These clients of mine were people I knew when we started working together about five years ago, but we really weren't friends. After working on a house for this long, either you end up enemies or buddies!! Thankfully, we became close friends and they are, I like to say, my favorite clients. We've shared a lot together over these past five years, mostly great things, and lots of phone conversations and emails go back and forth between us. So, when something happens worth bragging about, I'll get a call or an email from them and vice versa. Today, was just that kind of day when I got an email full of pictures from a party held at Lake Travis this past weekend which their daughter had planned. You see, their daughter, Courtney Caplan, is in business for herself in Austin, Texas. She's an upscale event coordinator which is a fancy word for party planner. Today, Courtney and her partner Sarah Miller own Caplan Miller Events and CME is fast becoming the "go to" company for weddings, parties, corporate events, and Bar Mitzvahs.
The beautiful and dynamic Courtney Caplan
Courtney ended up in Austin after graduating from the University of Texas with a degree in Corporate Communication. She worked at the legendary and tony Driskill Hotel for six years - serving as their Catering Director where she personally coordinated more than 1,000 events. She received many accolades and awards during her stint at the classic hotel. But, the ever energetic Courtney wanted more and yearned to be her own boss. Hence, CME was born. The company has quickly garnered rave reviews and laudatory press. To say it is a success would be an understatement. I'm so impressed with Courtney's abilities, I've already hired her to be the planner for my daughter Elisabeth's wedding. Just because she's only 17 and not even out of high school really doesn't matter! I want to be sure Courtney and CME will be available in, oh, about ten years from now.
Just take a look at these pictures from a 50th birthday party Courtney and CME planned at Lake Travis, Texas last weekend. You'll understand why her parents wanted to share them with me:
Now, do you know see why I am so impressed? Look how charming this setting is! Greeting all the arriving guests were green Appletinis, standing ready under a green and white tent.
A montage of flowers from the party. Look how beautiful that ball of pink flowers and green orchids is. The lake, and setting for the party, is Lake Travis right outside of Austin. The Hill Country of Texas is our French Riviera.
Zebra and linen pillows on couches were brought in for the party. Fans were available to cool down the guests.
A collage of the decor for the 50th Birthday party that CME planned. The theme colors were the green, as seen in the orchids, pillows, and tablecloths, and to contrast the green was a deep apricot and accents of zebra skin. Notice how even the cushions on the dinner table chairs were made out of the zebra skin. Modern, hip, and youthful!
Scattered around the party were statues, brought in from Las Vegas. Look closely - the statues are alive!!
See! Amazing!!!
Another member of the Las Vegas crew - giant, live orchids!!
The lighting for the party was dramatic. In the past decade, lighting vendors have become very popular and vital to a successful, upscale party.
The lighted dance floor. There were three musical acts, one of whom was Sister Sledge! Notice the tents - zebra rugs and pillows, sofas and chairs, provide a trendy place to sit and talk away from the crowd. Great idea, Courtney!
Courtney and CME turned an outdoor lawn area into a New York City discotheque. I love the hot pink lighted floor and ceiling. The building to the left was lighted lime green.
At the end of the night, they even had a fireworks display.
I can understand why her parents are so proud of Courtney. She's really a talented and innovative event planner and these images leave a lasting impression of her abilities. Look at some photos from other, more tamer events, CME has coordinated:
For a Texas outdoor wedding, CME set the theme right at the party's entrance.
Only in Texas and maybe Colorado - the bride wore lace and cowboy boots.
The bride walks to the wedding under an old-fashioned windmill.
The ceremony was outdoors, the reception was tented.
Tables were marked by names of Texas cities.
At another wedding the theme was red, and a huge urn with red flowers greeted the guests. The table also holds a package of goodies to take home.
The red theme carried over to the bride's cake.
This wedding was held in a quaint, Texas town, complete with an old gas station and a steepled church.
The path to the ceremony was marked by paper lights. The groom looks a little nervous to me.
The tiny flower girls look adorable walking down the petal strewn aisle!
At another wedding, the ring bearers road up in a flower encrusted University of Texas Longhorn wagon. Poor thing - he doesn't seem too happy!
This groom's cake is amazing - it's the University of Texas Tower. Hey, this IS Austin, you know!!!
For a bridal shower, hydrangeas and roses were the centerpieces.
Name places were stuck into rose-filled apples. Charming!
For a corporate event, Texas fiddle players greeted the employees at their annual party.
And Texas beer, Shiner Bock, was passed.
Autographed Asleep at the Wheel CDs were handed out.
The vodka bar was an ice sculpture!
For another corporate event, the theme was decidedly feminine. Notice the huge vases filled with lemons and flowers on each side of the podium.
The tablescapes for this corporate event.
What's most amazing about CME is how young Courtney is yet, she has the maturity and knowledge to have made her company such a success. Her future is bright and I couldn't be happier for Courtney or her parents -- after all, they ARE my favorite clients!

Gertrude Ederle, in full Gertrude Caroline Ederle, (born October 23, 1905, New York, New York, U.S.—died November 30, 2003, Wyckoff, New Jersey), first woman to swim (1925) the English Channel and one of the best-known American sports personages of the 1920s.
Ederle early became an avid swimmer. She was a leading exponent of the eight-beat crawl (eight kicks for each full arm stroke) and between 1921 and 1925 held 29 national and world amateur swimming records. In 1922 she broke seven records in a single afternoon at Brighton Beach, New York. At the 1924 Olympic Games in Paris she was a member of the U.S. team that won a gold medal in the 4 × 100-metre freestyle relay. She also captured bronze medals in the 100-metre and 400-metre freestyle events.
In 1925 Ederle made an unsuccessful attempt to swim the English Channel, but the following year she returned to France to try again. In the face of widespread doubt that a woman could accomplish the feat, she set out from Cape Gris-Nez near Calais, France, on August 6 and swam the 35 miles (56 km) to Dover, Kent, England, in 14 hours 31 minutes, beating the men's world record by 1 hour 59 minutes. Ederle was greeted on her return to New York City by a ticker-tape parade, and she toured for a time as a professional swimmer. A series of misfortunes, culminating in a serious back injury in 1933, ended her public career for a time, but in 1939 she appeared in Billy Rose's Aquacade at the New York World's Fair.
Ederle, whose hearing was permanently impaired while achieving her English Channel triumph, later became a swimming instructor for deaf children. She was inducted into the International Swimming Hall of Fame in 1965 and the Women's Sports Hall of Fame in 1980.

The year is 1888 in East Texas when twenty year old Jesse McCann arrives from West Texas looking for the father he never knew. The region is abuzz with the circular saws of lumber mills and the labor base to go with them. Jesse had been told for years that his father was last seen in the town of Morgan's Bluff, and that an investigator had reported his father had died and was buried in North Carolina. But Jesse was never satisfied with that explanation and set out to find the truth when he was a grown man. Riding Belle, a mare which had belonged to his mother, he went in search of his father and his destiny.
East Texas writer Jeanie Freeman Harper has written and published this work of fiction in the novella "Jesse McCann," built around this story. The book is set in the East Texas of 1888, when the region was emerging as one with many timber mill operations. The logging and milling plants built in the region were centers of economic activity and living for many people. The timber industry had moved into the void left by post Civil War changes to the previously dominant cotton culture of the area.
Jesse McCann is a striking young man of Irish and German ancestry. His mother is a right proper lady who married his father and became pregnant shortly after the marriage. Before he was born, his father disappeared. Word was he had gone to East Texas, where the trail disappeared. His mother sent an investigator, and years after the man disappeared, the investigator returned to report McCann's father, Clinton McCann, had died in the fictional East Texas town of Morgan's Bluff.
Like many such towns, Morgan's Bluff was named after the timber tycoon who had built it - Reese Morgan. He was the town's patriarch, literally and figuratively, as his blood lines extended through his legitimate heirs born to him and his wife. His blood lines also extended into the native American community with the son he had with a local Indian woman. The book explores this common occurrence for late 19th century East Texas - the interbreeding of whites and Indians. Many families, including mine, evidence the introduction of Indian blood lines into previously European based blood lines.
There are many colorful characters in the book, which keep the story interesting and help develop the plot. There is an old Indian woman with mystical influences. There is a lone she-wolf connected to the old woman and to a much younger woman. There are locals involved in the businesses of the town. There is a preacher, a lawyer, a bartender, and more. There are dubious heirs in the legitimate lines and admirable heirs in the illegitimate lines.
This blend of romance and fictionalized history of the region, wrapped around a story of financial intrigue and human failings, does a good job of keeping the reader engaged from beginning to end. The book is available through Amazon, and it can be read through Kindle, if you are a Kindle aficionado. Give it a look. It is enjoyable reading and entertaining as well.

Students pitch on-the-spot marketing plans
Public relations pros judge students' pitches for Dunkin' Donuts, Ben & Jerry's
What do Ben & Jerry's and Dunkin' Donuts have in common with communications giants Cone Communications and Hill Holiday and with the campus community? A lot, it turns out.
Students stood before a panel of expert judges from these top Boston-based communications agencies to pitch on-the-spot marketing plans for the quirky ice cream company and popular coffeehouse last Friday at the Hiatt Career Center's first ever Perfect Pitch event.
The event brought together account managers, human resources professionals and alumni from Cone Communications and Hill Holliday to offer feedback to Brandeis undergraduates interested in pursuing communications-related careers. The event challenged students to work in small groups to respond to either a Ben & Jerry's or Dunkin' Donuts marketing challenge and present their recommendations to a panel of six judges, which included Karen Hu '12, a recent Brandeis graduate who now works at Hill Holliday.
The Ben & Jerry's exercise was originally created by Brandeis alumnus Marc Berliner '95, vice president of Cone Communications and member of the Brandeis Alumni Association board of directors, as a diversity initiative to increase exposure to the public relations industry. Perfect Pitch is the first time Cone has taken this exercise on the road.
Hill Holliday followed suit by preparing an exercise featuring Dunkin' Donuts, which is a client of the agency. Both exercises required students to develop a fully integrated marketing campaign for their "client" in only 15 minutes, paying special attention to social media, popular culture, and the company's core brand and consumer.
"Brandeis students are savvy and witty," said Christopher Strachan, an account executive at Hill Holliday and a judge on the panel. "I thoroughly enjoyed seeing their thoughts come to life through this program." Another panelist said he would be lucky to hire any one of the student participants for his agency's internship program.
After students had delivered their pitches, the judges huddled to offer feedback and declare a winner. The winning group – Team Brain Freeze – had rebranded a Ben & Jerry's flavor of ice cream to coincide with Hurricane Sandy relief, adding sea salt and graham cracker crumbles to New York Super Fudge Chunk to reflect the effects of the storm on the East Coast. The marketing plan also included a partnership with the Red Cross to donate 75 percent of proceeds.
Rachel Nelson, a Brandeis senior who worked to bring the Today Show to campus earlier in the year, was on the winning team, and participated in the event because she is considering a career in advertising or public relations after graduation.
"Perfect Pitch was an amazing experience," Nelson says. "You see TV ads and campaigns all the time but don't really realize how much thought and strategy goes into every aspect. It was really great to be able to creatively brainstorm in a group and have the opportunity to present our ideas to people who do this for a living and receive feedback about how we could improve."
In keeping with the career development focus of the event, participants were also required to deliver an "elevator pitch" for the panel, introducing who they are, what communications experience they have, and why they are participating in the pitch event. This aspect of the event was an opportunity for students to stand out in front of top-notch employers in advance of internship and full-time recruiting deadlines at the firms.
Jackie Blesso, a career counselor at the Hiatt Career Center and the event's co-chair, stresses the importance of students being able to clearly communicate their interests and goals to employers and alumni both when networking and searching for jobs and internships.
"For all industries, especially communications, the elevator pitch is such a crucial piece of your career toolkit," says Blesso. "You never know when you might meet a representative from your dream company, so being well-prepared to present and market yourself will allow you to take full advantage of the opportunity and make a positive first impression."
Representatives from a variety of communications firms will be on campus on Jan. 30 for the Hiatt Career Center's third annual Communications Forum, which features a keynote by IW Group CEO/Founder Bill Imada, followed by round table networking.

JFK death news sent 'wave of grief' around world
RUNNYMEDE, England (AP) — There is a quiet and somber feel to this small piece of America on an English hillside, near where the Magna Carta was sealed eight centuries ago.
Only a trickle of visitors come to the John F. Kennedy Memorial, located on about a half-hectare (an acre) of land given to the people of the United States by Queen Elizabeth II in an unprecedented act of British affection for the fallen president.
Here, near the Thames River meadow where the founding charter of civil liberties was sealed in 1215, the queen came to dedicate the austere monument to a president killed 1½ years previously.
Accompanied by Kennedy's widow, his two children and two surviving brothers, the queen spoke of "the unprecedented intensity of that wave of grief, mixed with something akin to despair, which swept over our people at the news of President Kennedy's assassination."
She spoke for the multitudes. Much of the world learned of Kennedy's death within minutes, and 50 years later it still feels the loss.
Across six continents, in sports grounds, statues, scholarships, streets, hospitals, bridges, parks and schools, the name of John F. Kennedy is preserved in perpetuity, nowhere more keenly than in the hearts and minds of the Irish.
There he is widely recognized as the nation's most famous son, whose great-grandfather Patrick emigrated to Boston in 1848 from a 14-hectare (35-acre) farm near the River Barrow in Dunganstown, County Wexford.
That farm in Ireland's southeast corner has become a focal point for tens of thousands of JFK pilgrims annually since June 1963, when Kennedy visited his ancestral homeland. His four-day tour inspired unparalleled excitement in a then-impoverished land that had never before seen an American president.
In the nearby town of New Ross, a bronze podium bearing microphones and the presidential seal marks the riverside spot where Kennedy spoke. A flame taken from his burial plot in Arlington Cemetery burns at the center of a globe-shaped sculpture dedicated to Ireland's emigrants.
Carmel Delaney, a New Ross native, was 11, singing "The Star-Spangled Banner" with a crowd of Catholic schoolgirls when JFK's helicopter landed.
"We wouldn't have seen a helicopter before. That was something fabulous altogether," she said. "We knew he was somebody extremely important. We knew he was a god."
The day after Kennedy's funeral, Ireland observed a national day of mourning. Tens of thousands queued to sign the U.S. Embassy's condolence book, and businesses closed so employees could attend Masses in JFK's memory.
Jacqueline Kennedy gave the president's Irish relatives the rosary he had in his jacket when he died. It is on display at the Kennedy Homestead.
At the homestead, JFK's closest living relative in Ireland, fourth cousin Patrick Grennan, says the family is planning no special occasion for the 50th anniversary.
"We Kennedys choose to commemorate life, not death," Grennan, 38, said while showing a visitor around the homestead. "We celebrate the triumph of his visit to Ireland, his inspirational words. We try not to dwell on the horror of what happened later."
"I put on the radio, and just at that moment there was a chilling report informing us that the president had been assassinated in Dallas," Fidel Castro wrote in a recent newspaper column. The usually voluble former president of Cuba recalled being struck dumb. "For all intents and purposes there was nothing that we could talk about."
In Cuba, Kennedy was reviled for authorizing the Bay of Pigs invasion and perceived as bellicose during the missile crisis that brought the world to the brink of nuclear war.
"Every Cuban felt like that president was attacking us. You couldn't have the slightest good will for him," said Manuel Rodriguez, a 74-year-old former bank employee and militia member who was mobilized during the Bay of Pigs attack and the missile crisis.
He remembers that Kennedy's assassination shocked Cuba and provoked fears that new tensions would roil the island. Once again he was called up for military duty.
His view of Kennedy has softened somewhat over the years; today Rodriguez believes the hostile U.S. policy toward Cuba was set by Kennedy's predecessor, Dwight Eisenhower, and that Kennedy had to "keep up the pace."
In Bogota, Colombia, Maria Cristina Reyes remembers exactly what she was doing when Kennedy was shot.
He had touched her life.
Reyes was 16 and newly married when JFK pulled up in a black limousine with his wife and Colombia's president on Dec. 17, 1961. She and her husband were among people building simple one-story red brick houses financed by Kennedy's "Alliance for Progress" initiative.
One of the homes would be the Reyes family's, in a district which would be named Barrio Kennedy.
"We felt great joy to see someone who was not from our country come and give something to people who were really in need," said Reyes.
Neighbor Martha Garay, now 77, remembers Kennedy's impact: "He was dashing, attractive, impeccable, and so was his wife."
JFK lingered, visiting a lot of the houses, "and spoke some Spanish though it wasn't anything that was very understandable," Garay said, chuckling.
Reyes said she was housecleaning when word of the assassination reached her. "We turned on the radio when they announced the terrible news."
Today, having lived through Bogota's violent decades, she sounds fatalistic when she thinks back to Kennedy's murder.
"When a person like President Kennedy comes around and tries to help, they always cut him down," she said.
The day after the assassination, the performance of Chekhov's "Uncle Vanya" ran as scheduled in London's Old Vic theater. When the play ended, Sir Laurence Olivier stepped forward, raised his hands, and said that instead of applause the actors would rather stand with the audience for two minutes of remembrance. The great actor and director arranged for the silence to be broken by the playing of "The Star-Spangled Banner."
Since his death, the legacy of JFK has touched lives the world over. David Miliband, a Briton, is typical. He studied in the U.S. on a scholarship from the Kennedy Memorial Trust, and went on to serve as his country's foreign secretary.
"Today Kennedy remains a repository of hope not because he was assassinated but because the things he said and did created hope," Miliband says. "There is a huge sense of promise unfulfilled. His vision was utterly inspiring."
At Runnymede, carved on a rock, is a sentence from JFK's 1961 inauguration address that still resonates around the globe: "Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe, in order to assure the survival and the success of liberty."
John Fitzgerald Kennedy Munene is a 32-year-old Kenyan. His mother chose that name when she gave birth to him in the U.S. while on a student exchange program. He has studied the American president more than the average Kenyan, including reading Kennedy's "Profiles in Courage."
He has also studied a program made possible by JFK through the family trust when he was a senator that took dozens of African students to the U.S. to further their education. One person in the program was Barack Obama Sr., the current president's father.
Munene, who works in information technology, likes to play soccer, wearing a jersey with "JFK" emblazoned on it. When they see it "people say, 'Are you going to be Kenya's president?' ... It's quite a fun name."
It was early afternoon on June 26, 1963, when Christian Sack first saw John F. Kennedy. His West Berlin high school had given its students the day off for the U.S. president's visit to the city, which had become a front line of the Cold War. Twenty-two months earlier the East German communist regime had rammed a wall through Berlin.
Sack was one of an estimated 1 million Berliners who lined the streets that day.
As a teenager, he recalled, he was "more interested in music and girls than politics," but Kennedy captured his attention when he proclaimed his solidarity with the isolated city, in a speech that ended with the famous line "as a free man, I take pride in the words, 'Ich bin ein Berliner'" — "I am a Berliner."
"The atmosphere was explosive — explosive with excitement," Sack said. "You have to imagine the wall had only stood for two years and the politicians in West Germany just wanted quiet and never said much about it, so it was naturally almost a feeling of liberation that a politician would take it up and put it on the agenda."
Five months later, Sack was on the Kurfuerstendamm, the city's liveliest boulevard. "People just stopped and started talking — Kennedy had been killed," he said. "There was a huge disbelief, and sadness."
Some 60,000 people, many in tears and carrying torches, gathered at the place where Kennedy gave his famous speech.
After the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, Berliners remembered "I am a Berliner." Many of those who gathered outside the U.S. Embassy in sympathy carried signs that said: "We are all New Yorkers."
Contributing to this report were Associated Press writers Shawn Pogatchnik in Wexford, Ireland; David Rising in Berlin; Andrea Rodriguez in Havana; Jason Straziuso in Nairobi, Kenya; and Cesar Garcia and Vivian Sequera in Bogota, Colombia; and researcher Rhonda Shafner in New York.

Dismissal of smoking Weymouth firefighter upheld
WEYMOUTH, Mass. (AP) — The state Civil Service Commission has upheld the firing of a Weymouth firefighter who was caught smoking.
In a ruling released Thursday, the commission said the town had cause to fire Kenneth Morehouse in January 2012 after he was caught violating a state law that bars police and firefighters from smoking on or off the job. The ban has been in place since 1988.
Morehouse, who had been with the department since 2003, argued he was exempt from the ban because he began working as a firefighter in Boxborough in 1986, before the law went into effect.
The Patriot Ledger (http://bit.ly/Y1BXkf ) reports that Commissioner Cynthia Ittleman said in the decision that the ban did apply to Morehouse because he was appointed to the Weymouth job after the ban took effect.

PARIS — France may have lost an A in its credit rating, but fashion seems to have won it back with a flourishing start to haute couture week — from the A-list celebrities to Dior's 1950s A-line silhouettes.
Monday marked the lavish return to Paris couture of Donatella Versace, who wowed spectators with her unapologetic glitz, gold and famous friends.
Since haute couture is such an expensive affair — shows have been known to cost in the millions — Versace's decision to show in the French capital after eight years away appears to have been aided by the house's profitable 2011 collaboration with mass-market retailer H&M.
Haute couture, unlike ready-to-wear, is a protected French appellation existing only in Paris. The status is granted to select fashion houses that produce astronomically-priced, made-to-measure garments, bought by a shrinking number of super-wealthy women.
Year upon year critics predict couture's demise, calling anachronistic an art form that generates little or no money in a profit-driven industry.
Yet the presence this year of mega-brand Versace suggests otherwise.
"Madame Versace's return after all this time shows that haute couture is not in the past. Versace knows they need couture. We tap the creativity (of haute couture) for ready-to-wear like an ideas factory," the president of the French Couture Federation, Didier Grumbach, told The Associated Press.
For Christian Dior, it was less a question of tapping new ideas than revamping iconic old ones.
Interim designer Bill Gaytten seems to have pleased the fashion crowd by revisiting Dior's iconic New Look, including reworked 1950s bar-suits.
Question marks remain over who will permanently fill the shoes of Dior designer John Galliano, sacked after being caught on camera making slurred, anti-Semitic comments last year. The disappointment of Gaytten's previous fall-winter collection only served to intensify calls for Dior to name a successor. But the subtle confidence of Monday's offering has left critics scratching their heads: Has Gaytten been too quickly overlooked for the top job?
Ending the day, the award-winning Dutch designer Iris Van Herpen provided dark contrast from the rest of the shows with her highly abstract and unconventional creations. Tapping the dark depths of imagination and blurring the boundaries between art and fashion, the 27-year-old represents a younger and fresher side to Paris couture week.
Donatella Versace climbed Mount Olympus for inspiration in the opening show of Paris' spring-summer haute couture week, in top form after an eight-year hiatus.
Gold metal discs sculpted the busts and accentuated the hips as models with never-ending legs slinked down 13 shimmering steps Monday at the grand salon of the Ecole des Beaux-Arts, the acclaimed Left Bank school.
The show marked the designer's return to haute couture week, with the Atelier Versace brand reportedly capitalizing on profits from last year's lucrative collaboration with H&M.
The clothes were pure Grecian drama. A yellow mini-dress with laser-cut silk satin sparkled with the help of Swarovski crystals.
The summer palette was served up in silvers, oranges and acid green. One goddess pearl gray evening gown made in Chantilly lace dazzled as the music climaxed with an aria from Tosca, sung by Greek legend Maria Callas.
Versace classics were revisited and given an Aphrodite-like twist, such as a leather biker jacket and sexy shorts with gold metallic gussets.
Gasps of delight came from the crowd, which included U.S. and French Vogue editors Anna Wintour and Emanuelle Alt as well as actresses Cameron Diaz and Diane Kruger.
"I loved it. It was so sexy, so typically Versace. I'm looking myself to see if I can get one," Kruger said after the show.
That means fashionistas can look for one of the numbers on a red carpet in the not-too-distant future.
Christian Dior revamped its signature New Look for its 2012 spring-summer haute couture collection, with stand-in designer Bill Gaytten playing it safe following last season's panning.
Monday's show got started fashionably late — but Dior is tardy in more ways than one. The front row was abuzz over Dior's ongoing silence on the appointment of a new creative director.
Would it be Raf Simons, artistic director of Jil Sander? Or perhaps French designer Haider Ackermann?
But the fashionistas were quickly jolted back into focus as floaty silk crepe silhouettes with nipped waists — in shades of beige, aubergine, red, black and white — filed through the sumptuous salons of the couturier on the Avenue Montaigne.
Gaytten had clearly hit on the house's bread-and-butter pieces, which go back to the 1947 collection that introduced fashion to a new ladylike look that thrived through the next decade and was copied many times over. It was a back-to-basics move following his fall-winter couture flop. Despite its predictability, the collection somehow worked, perhaps by dint of its subtlety and textural detail.
A classic A-line bar suit was given a light touch in ultra-feminine sheer silk with a full skirt, giving the show an ethereal, otherworldly feel.
Black silk dresses were painstakingly embroidered with delicate beads, followed by knee-length skirts featuring long knife-pleats that fluttered like butterfly wings. One model looked so weightless in cascading chiffon she might have taken off in flight had she walked just a bit faster.
The piece de resistance came near the end: a floor-length ballgown with a full black-and-white tulle skirt that brushed teasingly past photographers.
When Gaytten came to take his bow, he winked, perhaps because he knew he had produced some solid couture.
"I could show you a picture of every single one of those dresses from the 1950s. They were all copied. But it worked, it really did," said British fashion writer Colin McDowell.
It-girl of the moment, Olivia Palermo, summed it up: "Sometimes it's good to go back to basics."
Iris Van Herpen's second haute couture show wrapped up a frenzied day of spring-summer collections with clothes that dipped into a darkly aquatic world, apparently inspired by "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea."
"Normal rules don't apply" is one of the slogans of haute couture's new enfant terrible, a 27-year-old Dutch designer. Even the invitations she sent stick out from the rest: a transluscent square of plastic with a crustacean-inspired etching.
As two gothic doors opened to dramatic music, a pearl sheath dress emerged from the night at Monday's show and grew lightweight octopus tentacles made of glass that enveloped its female host. As if this weren't enough, the model had to struggle against killer platforms — boney vertical daggers, instead of heels.
All the pieces were highly architectural, often with accentuated shoulders and hips in metallic shades of aubergine and gray, as well as pearl.
One piece, a cape-dress, looked like a brooding stingray carcass given life by an intricate weaving of shimmering silk and metal fiber. At this point the perhaps puzzled spectators were struck with awe.
Haute couture is often a spiky affair, but white Plexiglas fangs poking out of a cap-sleeved mini-dress saw this taken to the next level. The message was clear: You can look but don't touch.
The only downside was the slightly repetitive use of the sheath silhouette, only rarely punctuated by a longer number.
Despite her youth and newcomer status, Van Herpen has made a name for herself in Paris.
"I just lead with intuition," the designer said backstage. "It's positive being new, as I can go wherever I want with total freedom."
Tuesday's haute couture collections include Chanel, Giorgio Armani Prive and Givenchy.

Had a serious lapse of judgement last night and ate crap at a McDonald's drive-thru. I was hungry and tired and feeling kind of _________(fill in the blanks with a feeling that is not really all that bad but not all that good) and I just turned in and got some sh!# in a bag and a big ole high fructose-filled drink. Blahhhhh! So gross. I think the Imp of the Perverse of dieting came out to poke at my resolve. Back, back, I say!
Got to admit that when I am stressed I tend to eat and sometimes I eat lousy food. I have really been working on NOT eating crappy food for the last two years so it is kind of a drag to just have a relapse like that. But yesterday is now in the past and we are moving forward. (Later I watched a really good film, [email protected] http://www.foxsearchlight.com/youngatheart/, about older people in a choral group. Most of them were not morbidly obese just a little padded in places. It was very inspiring and also makes me feel I am on the right road, just trying to get healthy rather than trying to get "thin".)
Bought the 8th Edition of Corine Netzer's Food Counts today and began a serious tally of my calories. I picked it up at BN along with some other goodies; Elaine Pagel's latest, Escape From Freedom by Fromm, and Jenna Jamison's bio. What can I say? My taste is really broad. : ) So today was a pretty good day. I ate a piece of my daughter's birthday cake that put my count up too high for losing but it was a really good cake (from a real bakery) and I ate the 5 veggies including a sweet potato.
Next up: stop by the gym next to my job and check it out. I am really trepidatious about joining. Afraid I won't follow through. Time to pull out my inner Yoda cause like he said, "There is no try." To quote another master of wisdom, "Git 'er done!"

LOS ANGELES— For most of Archie Andrews' life, the red-headed comic book icon's biggest quandary was whether he liked Veronica or Betty.
The character's impending death comes in Wednesday's installment of ''Life with Archie,'' a spin-off series that centers on grown-up renditions of Archie and his Riverdale pals. It brings a bold conclusion to Archie Comics' four-year-old modern makeover of the squeaky-clean, all-American character.
Freckle-faced Archie will meet his demise when he intervenes in an assassination attempt on senator Kevin Keller, Archie Comics' first openly gay character, who's pushing for more gun control in Riverdale. Archie's death, which was first announced in April, will mark the conclusion of the ''Life with Archie'' series.
''I think Archie Comics has taken a lot of risks in recent years, and this is the biggest risk they've taken yet,'' said Jonathan Merrifield, a longtime Archie fan who hosts the Riverdale Podcast about all things Archie. ''If it shakes things up a little bit, and people end up checking it out and seeing what's going on in Archie Comics, it will be a risk that was smartly taken.''
While casual fans likely still associate Archie with soda shops and sock hops — and that's still holds true for the very much alive teenage character in the original ''Archie'' series — Archie was thrust into adulthood with the launch of ''Life with Archie'' in 2010. The series kicked off after alternate futures were envisioned where the love-struck do-gooder married both Veronica and Betty.
Over the past four years, storylines in the more socially relevant series aimed at adult Archie fans have included Kevin's marriage to his husband, the death of longtime teacher Ms. Grundy, Archie love interest Cheryl Blossom tackling breast cancer and Jughead and friends dealing with financial struggles.
It's been a shift not unlike other changes in the modern comic book landscape, where Spider-Man's alter-ego is a multi-racial teenager and Wonder Woman wears pants.
''Every few years, we see a comic book tackling an issue that could be considered provocative,'' said Dave Luebke, owner of Dave's Comics in Richmond, Virginia. ''It's interesting that the ending of 'Life with Archie' involves multiple social issues, but it's not surprising.'' (Luebke sold his rare 1942 ''Archie'' No. 1 comic book in 2009 for $38,837 at a Dallas auction.)
The Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation and several Archie fans praised Archie Comics' decision to have the character sacrifice himself to save Kevin, who is depicted in ''Life with Archie'' as a married military veteran turned senator.
''In recent years, 'Life with Archie' has become one of the most unique books on the shelves by using its characters to address real world issues — from marriage equality to gun control — in a smart but accessible way,'' said Matt Kane, GLAAD's director of entertainment media. ''Though the story is coming to a close, we look forward to seeing Kevin and Archie's stories continue in their remaining titles.''
Others have voiced their concern on Archie Comics' Facebook page and other online forums that the character's death was unnecessary or too politicized.
Jon Goldwater, Archie Comics publisher and co-CEO, defended Archie's demise being a lesson about gun violence and diversity.
''Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but I don't agree,'' said Goldwater. ''I think Riverdale is a place where everyone should feel welcome and safe. From my point of view, I'm proud of the stance we've taken here, and I don't think it's overtly political on any level.''
Depending on the success of the final installments of ''Life with Archie,'' Riverdale Podcast host Merrifield won't be surprised if Archie Comics takes on other topical issues in the near future.
''I'm sure there will be a tearful moment for me,'' he said of the character's death. ''But this isn't goodbye. He'll be back in a couple of weeks in a book of reprints and the teenage 'Archie' will continue. Archie will still be around. He's always around.''
