Author Maria Semple (Alex Garcia, Chicago Tribune / April 4, 2013) |
Maria Semple is, in the parlance of Hollywood, a hot property.
Her best-selling second novel, "Where'd You Go, Bernadette," just out in paperback, was hailed as one of last year's best books, earning rave reviews from The New York Times ("Divinely funny, multi-faceted"), the Los Angeles Times ("A fantastic, funny novel … an enchanting ride") and The Seattle Times ("Belly-laugh satire and social commentary").
This piece first ran in Printers Row Journal, delivered to Printers Row members with the Sunday Chicago Tribune and by digital edition via email. Click here to learn about joining Printers Row.
That last one is significant because for much of the book, the eponymous Bernadette, living a life of rant-filled desperation, regards that city — to which she has been unhappily transplanted — with bald contempt, a frame of mind initially shared by Semple when she moved to the city from Los Angeles with her boyfriend and daughter.Before the book's hardcover release last August, Seattle-ites braced for an outsider's broadside against their city. They have since embraced it and Semple, a turn of events she finds "really surprising and delightful," she said in a phone interview.
"When the book came out, before people read it, it was understood to be 'someone from L.A. comes and writes this nasty book about Seattle,'" she said. "People now understand it's a love letter to Seattle that embraces all of its foibles. I now feel now more understood. The book is better understood."
That's the beauty of going out in support of a book's paperback, rather than hardcover, release. By this time, more people have read the book, and in the case of "Bernadette," love the book. It's a known commodity.
"Bernadette" has been selected as the Printers Row Journal Book of the Month, and Semple recently appeared in Chicago to read from and talk about her book, which she believes would have been unlikely eight months ago.
"I think I would certainly not have been asked to come to Chicago in any capacity with the hardcover because no one knew who I was," she said with a laugh. "I had a very limited hardcover tour. It is so out of my comprehension that someone in Chicago could like my book just because (the city) seemed so far away. I'm still kind of processing the fact that a lot of people who are outside my immediate family like the book. It's really cool."
Her immediate family includes her father, noted screenwriter Lorenzo Semple Jr., whose estimable feature film credits include the post-Watergate conspiracy thrillers "Three Days of the Condor," starring Robert Redford, and "The Parallax View," starring Warren Beatty. But he is perhaps best known as one of the guiding creative forces behind the phenomenally popular "Batman" TV series starring Adam West.
Maria Semple was born to the breed and found success as a television writer on such series as "Mad About You," "Ellen," and "Arrested Development," a credit whose off-the-charts coolness cachet ranks with that of "The Simpsons."
It was "a slow building thing," she says of her screenwriting career. "It was more psychological. My father (who just turned 90) is a charismatic person, and people are still very drawn to him. You kind of think, 'I want to do that.' When I saw that he was a writer, it seemed like a cool thing to want to be. I drifted into it. I spent a lot of time with him. We watched movies together. It seemed like this natural extension of my childhood to do it."
But her big break, she said, was her decision to become a novelist. "I had to make a formal decision to do that," she said. "The other thing kind of happened. I was comfortable in that world and knew the language."
"Bernadette," especially, was informed by lessons learned as a screenwriter, particularly "the relentless focus on story," she said. "Much of the time in the writer's room is spent working on story, and I was always challenging myself to make it more interesting, tighter and more surprising, to come at it sideways in a way that the audience wasn't expecting."
Screenwriting, too, helped her to build character, she said. "Bernadette," an epistolary novel, is a riot of distinct and varied voices, from the confounding Bernadette to her precocious teenage daughter, Bee, to the "gnats," the derisive term Bernadette has given to other parents whose political correctness and "hinky" Seattle-ness she cannot abide.
That, too, has become second nature to Semple. "You learn (as a screenwriter) how to write in different voices and how to differentiate the characters. One of the rules (I write by) is that you should be able to know which character is saying what by their dialogue. It has to be so sharp and specific that no other character could say it. Those were the standards I used when it came time to write the novel. It was important for me early on to find the voice of each character and figure out what was unique about them and their individual worldview that I could use for comedy or conflict."
But having written "Bernadette," the novel, she has bowed out of writing "Bernadette," the movie. The rights to the novel were acquired in January. "(500) Days of Summer" co-writers Scott Neustadter and Michael H. Weber will write the screenplay.
Visions of a possible movie never intruded when Semple was writing the novel, she said. "Writing a novel is so hard and there are so many problems that the last thing you're thinking about is adapting this mess you have on your hands as a movie. You just want to get it to work as a novel. That's your main focus."
Neustadter and Weber will certainly have their work cut out for them, as much of the book is "inside people's heads," she said. "But I really think they are talented. They really love the book. I spent a week showing them around Seattle."
The next step, she said, is finding a director, followed by casting. If done right, Bernadette and Bee, especially, could be Oscar-worthy roles (One website, Word & Film, makes the case for Helena Bonham Carter and Chloe Grace Moretz).

As with so many carvings, some appear to be simple to carve due to their shape, detail, etc. Yet, sometimes the (so called) simple carvings can be the most frustrating!. I'd say "Tweety" worked up quickly but making a couple subtle features caught me off guard. First off, I could not find a profile photo of "Tweety." As a kid I was a cartoon junkie and every Saturday morning, (just after the TV "Test Pattern" went off the screen) I was glued to the TV for a morning of cartoons with my bag of chips and Coca-Cola. As often as I watched "Tweety" get the better of "Sylvester" I can't tell you what "Tweety" looks like from the side! So I went with my "gut!"
Starting out with a piece of basswood, I begin to cut away everything that doesn't look like "Tweety!"
Don't let the flat spot on "Tweety's" head fool you. His head is large enough so I have plenty of wood to work with.
Although, that flat spot did drive me to frustration! It took longer than I thought to get his head round.
But I managed!
His basic shape worked up quickly and now to try to work in the proper sizes of his arms, legs, etc.
I am (what is known as) a power-carver. I use a Mastercarver rotary tool with various burrs/bits to shape and remove wood. As such I've had a long struggle with wood grain swelling when I use water based sealers/paints. As I've learned from the Woodcarving Illustrated Forum, power carving is not a friend to wood grain. The grain is severely damaged by the cutting tools which results in far more surface smoothing than if you use a sharp carving instrument. Consequently, I've been plagued by texture problems through most of my pieces. I'm also spraying the piece with water to actually raise the grain so I can finish sand the piece again with an extremely fine sand paper/burr.
Finally, after my thirty-seventh piece since 2009, I'm actually seeing an improvement in my finish work
Next we fit him to the base...
Time for sealer.
...and then the color.
"Tweety" stands 5 1/2" tall without the base. He's cut out of a 3" X 3" piece of basswood.
The "tufts" of hair on his head are strands of plastic bristles taken from my shop broom!
He was sealed with Minwax 209. His colors are acrylic and sealed with clear Satin Polycrylic. His eyes are sealed with clear gloss Polycrylic.
I tawt I taw a putty tat.
I did, I did.
I did tee a putty tat!

CVS Caremark's MinuteClinic has opened its first clinic inside a CVS/pharmacy store in Southwest Virginia with five additional locations planned for September and October.
The collaboration between Community Health Network and Walgreens' Healthcare Clinic is officially underway as of last week, the companies announced. It's just one manifestation of how retail clinics and the pharmacies that house them will contribute to making health care more cost-efficient in the years ahead through coordinated care vetted by improved outcomes.
In fact, 2014 will be the year of the retail clinic. The collaboration dovetails nicely with Walgreens' plans to significantly expand the scope of care found at Healthcare Clinic that president and CEO Greg Wasson talked about at the company's last quarterly conference call. "These new services include diagnosis, treatment and management for hypertension, diabetes, high cholesterol and asthma, as well as additional preventive health services," he said.
To help battle the national prescription drug abuse epidemic in the country, CVS Caremark embarked on a program whereby it tapped its extensive database to identify and halt inappropriate prescribing of high-risk drugs.
The reality is that drug stores have been caught in the middle of the nation's prescription drug abuse epidemic, and CVS Caremark's efforts are an example of the larger role that retail pharmacy can play.
CVS Caremark is continuing its efforts to battle the national prescription drug abuse epidemic by tapping its database to identify and stop inappropriate prescribing of high-risk drugs and is working at the federal and state levels to implement policy changes to curb prescription drug abuse.
CVS Caremark held a grand opening event on Tuesday at its new mail service pharmacy and customer center in Mt. Prospect, Ill.
PBM company RxAdvance has expanded its executive management team with the hiring of former CVS Caremark and Rite Aid executives.
According to a new survey from CVS/pharmacy, less than half of those surveyed (46%) were more likely to get a flu shot this year following last season's late flu outbreak. However, many more (59%) said they consider it a social responsibility to get the flu shot every year in order to keep their community healthy and minimize the spread of the influenza virus.
One of the biggest problems with the healthcare reform law is that a lot of people out there don't fully understand it. To educate the general public about the law, a few organizations have come up with simple, online tools aimed at dispelling the confusion.
CVS/pharmacy announced on Thursday the launch of a new online Drug Information Center on CVS.com, which was developed to help consumers take control of their health by providing them with drug information and a variety of innovative resources.
CVS/pharmacy is gearing up for back-to-school season with a new "Classroom Gift Card" promotion that allows customers to earn gift cards when shopping for essentials at more than 7,500 locations nationwide.
Running from Aug. 11 to 31, members of the ExtraCare program will receive a $5 CVS/pharmacy gift card after spending $20 on select items featured in the weekly circular.
CVS Caremark is reportedly planning to re-enter the metro Toledo, Ohio, market by snapping up parcels of property, according to a local news report.
Looking to further strengthen its relationship with beauty shoppers — both inside and outside of the store — CVS/pharmacy launched on Aug. 2 a new website and mobile site dedicated to its growing Essence of Beauty brand, which is available exclusively at CVS/pharmacy. Drug Store News talked with George Coleman, VP merchandising for store brands at CVS/pharmacy, to learn more about the unique content featured on the new essenceofbeauty.com site and how the retailer is adjusting its in-store merchandising strategy to further promote its Essence of Beauty collection.
As states prepare their health insurance exchanges for open enrollment beginning Oct. 1, a new survey from CVS Caremark shows that while there has been an overall increase in awareness of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, many of those eligible to enroll in health exchanges are asking for help.
CVS Caremark has announced that it is an official sponsor of the National Urban League's 2013 Conference in Philadelphia this week and will exhibit at the conference its diversity programs, including work-force initiatives, health screenings and multicultural product offerings.
Crystal Geyser Water Company's Tejava Premium Iced Tea is now available for purchase in more than 7,000 CVS/pharmacy stores across the country, and more than 320 Target stores in California and Arizona.
CVS Caremark's distribution center in Vero Beach, Fla., is leading the company's effort to hire veterans and military spouses at its CVS/pharmacy stores, distribution centers and corporate offices nationwide.
Following the cacophony of tweets from Bostonians regarding a Rolling Stone cover featuring Boston Marathon bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, Walgreens, Rite Aid and Kmart joined CVS/pharmacy and announced that they would not stock the magazine altogether.
Rolling Stone magazine has sparked an uproar with its current issue, which features a cover story on Boston Marathon bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev. Many are criticizing the publication for glamorizing a "terrorist" and the backlash is even evident at the retail level, as CVS/pharmacy has said it will not stock the issue of the magazine.
Sundial Brands, the maker of natural skin and hair brand SheaMoisture, has expanded its SheaMoisture Baby Care Collection to more than 5,000 CVS/pharmacy stores, 1,500 Kroger locations and more than 700 Stop & Shop/Giant retail outlets nationwide, the manufacturer announced on Thursday.
CVS/pharmacy and private sector benefits program Veterans Advantage have announced a new in-store savings program for Veterans Advantage's VetRewards Card members, honoring military and veteran families with savings on thousands of CVS/pharmacy brand products at CVS/pharmacy stores.
In honor of Independence Day and to express gratitude to disabled military veterans for their service, CVS Caremark and the Boston Red Sox teamed up at Fenway Park for a special batting camp for veterans from across New England.
CVS Caremark has released the "2013 State of States: Adherence Report," which reviews how patients in all 50 states are, or are not, taking their medications as directed by their doctors.
This is important as medication nonadherence continues to be a significant issue within the U.S. healthcare system. To be more specific, medication nonadherence in the U.S. accounts for up to $290 billion in excess healthcare costs annually. Yes, billion.
CVS/pharmacy has bolstered its mobile app by adding the new Drug Interaction Checker, which is an industry first that allows customers to easily check for potential drug interactions by comparing OTC products with their prescriptions and other OTCs on their smartphones.
MinuteClinic has made a deal with a Tennessee healthcare system to expand clinics in three counties in the state, the CVS Caremark clinics division said Wednesday.
CVS Caremark has been awarded Mail Service Pharmacy accreditation from URAC, a Washington, D.C.-based healthcare accrediting organization that establishes quality standards for the healthcare industry, the company announced.

More About The New Leviathan by David Horowitz; Jacob LaksinOverviewAt a time when the national political debate is about inequality and fairness, bestselling au-thor David Horowitz and coauthor Jacob Laksin have written an unsettling book about the distribu-tion of power in America. Thoroughly researched and amply documented, "The New Leviathan "over-turns the conventional wisdom about which end of the political spectrum represents the rich and pow-erful, and which represents the people.
The Democratic Party presents itself to the electorate as the party of working families and the poor. In the 2000 election campaign, Democrat Al Gore ran on the slogan "The People vs. the Powerful," while President Obama describes him-self as a "grassroots organizer" and a spokesman for "fairness" and "progressive change." Such is the world of political myth. In reality, the Demo-crats and the Obama progressives represent the richest and most powerful political machine in American history. Backed by a near trillion-dollar treasury in America's oldest and largest tax-exempt foundations, progressives outspend conservatives by a factor of seven to one.
In "The New Leviathan," David Horowitz and Jacob Laksin examine this growing financial power of left-wing organizations and politicians. They show how left-wing foundations under-wrote the political career of Barack Obama and how massive funding advantages for progressive proposals have disenfranchised American voters and shifted the national policy debate dramatically to the left. "The New Leviathan "draws connections between the Obama administration and progres-sive organizations from labor unions to media outlets to nonprofits to political groups, and shows how on key policy fronts--national security, immigration, citizenship, environment, and health care--the sheer force of left-wing financial resources has reconfigured the nation's political agenda.

Forget right-wing businessmen: America's real plutocrats are left-liberal foundations and labor unions, argues this suspicious exposé. Deploying material from their site DiscoverTheNetworks.org, conservative pundits Horowitz and Laksin (coauthors of One Party Classroom) investigate a rogues' gallery of "progressive" foundations—everything from the Ford Foundation to, astonishingly, the ChevronTexaco Foundation—along with the public sector Service Employees International Union and American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees. This powerful agglomeration, masterminded by billionaire arch-liberal George Soros, vastly outspends conservative foundations, the authors contend, and dominates American politics: funding radicals at ACORN and the ACLU; promoting leftist policies on health care, immigration, and global warming; boosting minions—Barack Obama, most prominently—into high office to enact "socialism by stealth." The authors' turgid, acronym-strewn text takes on conspiracy overtones as they doggedly trace "networks" of liberal patronage, but their one-sided account of political influence—they focus on nonprofit organizations while ignoring corporate political activity and conservative talk radio—is neither original nor alarming. The machinations they uncover—voter registration drives, position papers, liberals funding liberals—feel run-of-the-mill rather than sinister. The result is a panicky but unconvincing rehash of familiar conservative-populist dudgeon. Agent: Georges Borchardt, Georges Borchardt Inc. (June)

Between stressful meetings, returning phone calls, taking care of your family and making time for friends, it can often seem as though you have a million things to juggle. Dr. Robin says it's easy to hustle through life, get in your car and go, go, go…but sometimes you need to stop rushing and enjoy the present moment.
Instead of getting on the expressway to go home, Dr. Robin says she recently took the scenic route and found peace in the river and hills that surrounded her. "The saving of those 10 or 15 minutes [by taking the expressway] could not begin to equate with what my soul needed—the soul food that the river and the trees [provided]," she says. "I had the wisdom to say, 'Robin, take the long route today'—the long route, which takes more time, is actually what your soul is thirsting for." The next time you're stressed out and overbooked, Dr. Robin says you should look for a way to connect with the beauty of nature and, through that, find new energy to help you get through the day. "What is in your environment right now that can build you up for the moment you are living?" she asks. "I [took] the long route home and have the gift and the blessing of edifying my mind and relaxing my body and just reinvigorating myself for the journey ahead." Published on June 02, 2008

I find myself softening on our old advesaries.
And absolutely hating the recent upstart teams.
The Denver Broncos. I hate this team. I hated this team in the 90's. I hated horseface Elway. I hate that their idiotic fans bring up "spygate" when they were fined by the NFL both years they won* a Superbowl for fielding illegal football teams. I didn't even hate them in a `good way.` We called them `The Denver Flailing Asses.` I hated them in an "OMG your team is stupid and pointless" sort of way. Stupid Broncos with their stupid uniforms. Orange with a big dumb D on their helmets. Go away. And now they sign Peyton Manning, free agent, in an insulting and pathetic attempt to lift themselves from obscurity for two whole seasons before they go back to being irrelevant with no future like usual. We cannot let this stupid, dumb, flailing ass orange Denver team win a Superbowl. Good thing we're not going to let them do anything of the sort. All this media spin about Denver, about Peyton. The Bronco fans are really buying into it. I can't wait to burst their stupid little bubble and show them the only thing they managed to do with Manning was spend 20 million dollars more than they had to to get their asses handed back to them by the Patriots in the post season. Brady Punt NFL Divisional Playoffs 2012 - YouTube Trololol. Anyway, I find myself seriously disliking these upstart teams around the league. I actually find myself missing the Steelers. I liked the Colts this season (I would say something about the Jets but they're not a real football team). I've even suddenly softened on the Ravens despite the officials completely screwing us out of a W against them earlier. Denver, the 49'ers, I used to like the Seahawks until week 6. The only new comer I don't hate is probably Texas because they play like girls so I basically just feel bad for their fans. We're the last AFC powerhouse from the last decade still standing and standing tall at that. I wanted the Steelers, the Colts and the Ravens to suck so bad for so long and now that they do I miss them. Glad we play the Steelers and the Colts next year. Hopefully they get a little better. It'll be nice playing real football organizations (classic organizations) again instead of these bottom feeding buy-a-ring, flash in the pan, Eagle-esque, here one season and gone the next, soulless, free agency built super-scrub teams nobody cares about. |
Re: I find myself softening on our old advesaries.
Fun Fact:
We've averaged more points against Denver over the course of our last three encounters than Denver has scored against any opponent in their last four seasons. May want to hold off on ordering that new trophy case, dumb asses. |
Re: I find myself softening on our old advesaries.
It happens. Hates change. Twenty years ago, Pats fans hated the Bills and Dolphins more than any other. Today, they're mostly afterthoughts, with the possible exception of lingering Dolphin hate.
I don't hate the Broncos. I think they're overhyped, and they remind me of upstarts like the 2008 Titans or somesuch for some reason. But I don't hate them. |
Re: I find myself softening on our old advesaries.
As to uniforms, I think the Baltimore Ravens are number one. (the best)
Generally we hate teams that are either trad. rivals or very good in the sense of almost equal to or equal to the Pats. There are also teams who seem to be either a little dirty or take some kind of unfair edge... esp when they play you (this is more perception than anything) The only team that I seem never to soften on is the Jets. Not sure why, but they cannot lose enough to suit me. Strange because I like the Giants and think nyc is without parallel. |
Re: I find myself softening on our old advesaries.
Still hate Steelers, Jets no matter what. Ravens are another team I can't stand. I root against the Giants most of the time, but I can't say I truly hate them. For some reason I have no issues with any other teams, not even Denver.
Re: I find myself softening on our old advesaries.
I hate very few teams. But then, I grew up in LA, following the Lakers, and also lived in Manhattan for 15 years.
Re: I find myself softening on our old advesaries.
Wherever Manning goes the knob-slobbers in the media follow, and the fans eventually buy into it.
The Broncos won the AFC West? How did you do it Peyton? |
Re: I find myself softening on our old advesaries.
I have to give Felger credit for this one. Peyton Manning has been to the playoffs 11 times and has gone one and done 7 times. Tom Brady has been to the playoffs 10 times and has gone to the Super Bowl 5 times.
Manning 7/11 .636 Brady 5/10 .500 Clearly they like Manning because of the numbers. ;) |
Re: I find myself softening on our old advesaries.
Not me. I still hate the Colts and only rooted for them in the last game of the season because Pagano seems like a genuinely good guy. I still hate the Steelers too and would love to see them continue to go 8-8 in order to miss the playoffs while still getting a bad draft pick. My hate for the Broncos was still there, but it rebuilt big time this year.
Re: I find myself softening on our old advesaries.
Now that the Jest are beaten down, the Donkeys fans are by far the biggest A holes I've encountered this season.

I have no words.
Well, I have one. WOW. Not only did you guys devour the goal like Duane would love to devour a tour bus, but you practically had second helpings. Thank you SO MUCH, both for pledging and for helping to spread the word! I finally feel like Unsounded is a legitimate thing now! And I can't wait to spread printed copies of it to the far corners of the earth.
You may notice there have been a few reward changes. I nixed the top tier rewards (don't ask for them back please, they're gone) in favour of offering more watercolour illustration rewards. BUT! I won't be putting those up until next week for Reasons. I'll send out an update when they're posted.
For now, I want to announce a stretch goal. In lieu of adding bells and whistles to the physical edition of the print book, something I have never seen the point of, I want to add CONTENT to the book. So if we reach 25,000 by the end of the drive, I'll create and include in the book an exclusive illustrated Duane and Sette story to bridge the time between the end of the third chapter and the beginning of the fourth. I think you will like it.
In the meantime, thanks again for supporting the comic. It really means the world.
Creator Kari Schultz on September 24, 2012
You were always legit. The rest of the world just needed a chance to show you ;)
I love illustration gallery type stuff in books. Awesome to see another story coming, but if you're wondering what else to do I wouldn't mind seeing some of those poll voter incentives and whatever other stuff you have around of sketches and whatnot in the back :3
Creator Kymberly Adams on September 22, 2012
I'm so happy that you're getting the attention you deserve for this amazing story and your beautiful art. Congratulations, and I hope you are able to make it to your new goal! :D
Creator Brett Yang on September 22, 2012
Quick Ashley, start stretching more! :)
Creator Nicolas on September 21, 2012
All I can say is Thank you Kickstarter! Never heard of this till I stumbled across it last night. Put off reading it till today and read all 358 pages in one sitting. WOW! Pledged in just as a place holder till I see the new rewards available. Can' wait!
Creator Khiemble Trinhity on September 21, 2012
Congrats! Keep up the great work.
Creator Brenna | Dropkick on September 21, 2012
I think we'll be getting that extra story, only ~$3225 left! Wheee, best christmas present to myself ever.
Creator Spencer Paustian on September 21, 2012
Jill, my thoughts exactly. This is my absolute favorite webcomic, and the only story other than Gunnerkrigg that I would want to purchase. Thanks for printing it, Ashley!
Creator Andrew Storey on September 20, 2012
I am so exited for this.
Creator Jillian Westplate on September 20, 2012
i actually shouted out loud when i first saw the icon that you're finally doing a print version. Of all the 20-40 web comics i follow, this and one other comic would be the only ones i would spend money on to have a physical copy of. Thanks so much for putting in so much life in the Unsounded cast and world!
Creator ashurei on September 20, 2012
Every penny's well earned, Ashley. You've got got a knack for storytelling, both visually and verbally. I look forward to the extra chapter. It's inevitable. ;D
Creator quindraco on September 20, 2012
Dan: That depends on how fast she unlocks more 100 dollar watercolors so I can hand her my wallet and let her have her sweet, sweet way with it - as can her other rabid fans.
Creator Brandi Lynch on September 20, 2012
So glad to see the love is well represented! You put a lot into Unsounded, and it's great we can all show you how much we appreciate it!
Creator Dan Zlotnikov on September 20, 2012
I'm really tempted to start a pool on how long it takes this to hit $25K... I say another 20 hours (as of Sept. 20, 16:30 EDT)
Anyone else?

The Cheetahs body is built for speed. It's legs are relatively long compared to its greyhound-like body; it has a big heart and lungs and wide nasal passages. It is the fastest land animal, timed running at speeds of up to 114km/h.
While the lion and the leopard rely on getting close to their intended prey before breaking cover, the cheetahs speed gives it an advantage in the more open savanna. Cheetahs are slightly taller than leopards but not as bulky, probably weighing between 40kg and 60kg. Although cheetahs are members of the cat family, they have dog-like non-retractable claws. This limits their tree-climbing ability but gives them a speed advantage when charging.
Typically, a cheetah will start a charge 60m to 100m from an antelope and, within seconds, will be racing at full tilt. If the buck is alerted in time, it will attempt to throw the cheetah off its trail by zigzagging and dodging between trees and shrubs. Using its long, heavy tail as a stabiliser, the cheetah will single-mindedly pursue its intended prey, trying to anticipate which way it will turn.
At the right moment, it will knock the antelope off balance and grab it by the throat as it falls. Because of the relatively small jaws and teeth, cheetahs are not as effective in killing their prey as quickly as lions or leopards, and it can take between five and 25 minutes for its prey to die.
The element of surprise in hunting is as important for cheetahs as it is for other big predators. While its speed gives it an edge, the cheetahs vulnerable point is its stamina. It will manage to run at top speed for only about 250m before it needs to catch its breath.
After a high-speed chase, the cheetah desperately needs to rest for about half-an-hour even before it eats its prey. This is when cheetahs are at their most vulnerable. They are often robbed of their kill by lions or hyaenas during this recovery spell. If the cheetah is unmolested, it normally devours its prey at the kill site.
A cheetahs food tastes are not as broad as that of the leopard, and it concentrates mostly on small and medium antelope. The cheetahs diet, comprises of the young of larger animals, as well as warthog, ground birds, porcupines and hares, as well as the smaller antelope
The cheetahs kill rate is hard to determine, but the consensus is that each cheetah kills between 30 and 150 animals a year, depending on its size, hunting frequency and the condition of the area. Experts believe a single cheetah ideally needs between one and three kilograms of meat a day to stay in shape.
There has been some scientific discussion as to whether they should be classified as part of the dog family because of their non-retractable claws, but they exhibit too many cat-like features, including the ability to purr loudly. Cheetahs cannot roar but can growl and spit like a cat and sometimes they make a peculiar chirping noise.
Unlike lions and leopards, cheetah dont define a territory to defend. They have a home range which they mark with urine, but will not actively fight off other cheetahs. Socially, cheetahs are somewhere on the scale between lions and leopards. They do not form prides as lions do but small groups of between four and six cheetahs can be common, particularly groupings of brothers.
Cheetah probably live for between 12 and 15 years in the wild. Unlike most other major carnivores, they hunt during the day.
Despite their speed, cheetahs still rely heavily on the element of surprise. Experts believe that a cheetah has a one-in-10 chance of catching an animal that isnt taken by surprise, and that this rises to a one-in-two chance if the quarry is caught off-guard. Cheetahs are the most timid of the big cats and there is no record in southern Africa of a cheetah ever having attacked a human.

It was Yukiko Kawasaki, I can't find anything about who their coach was at the time, must have been a coach in Japan. I know K/S were with the Velikovs when they first got together. I think there is plenty of skater/coach swapping at Yubileyny. I also think skaters get close to coaches when they all share a space no matter if they coach them or not. Maybe she just helped them at some point and not officially coached them. I don't think Anton and Maria looked as good as Maria and Alexei.
They must all really respect her. I can't wait to see it! A great line up!
From what I read and remember heard in different interviews Tanya & Maxim approached her after leaving Pavlova, but Moskvina who, was busy coaching B/S and I/Z (who in their turn insisted on her 100% attention) for the SLC, declined. But after B/S retired she made an attempt to take them back from Vasiliev (which caused some negativity in their relationship), but the guys were already comfortable with him so they refused.
No ?????
But the Moskvina show will take place before the start of the GP series, and Plushy doesn't have any GP assignments anyway. Are skaters required to give a reason for not doing GPs these days? I mean, Miki and Yu-Na didn't, they just took time off. Evan Lysacek took a whole season off. So long as he's not bailing out on events to which he was assigned (as was the case with 2010 Worlds) why would it be an issue?
I'm surprised Plushy's not part of this, considering his link to Moskvina via Mishin; maybe he has a prior commitment? I also wonder how Brian Joubert ended up in this show - there seems to be no obvious reason.
I was just speculating he might want to stay on the safe side with it given his troubles last year.
As far as Joubert goes, he seems to be quite a regular of Russian ice shows when the show producers want to add non-Russian skaters to the cast. Or we can make this connection: Moskvina's skating partner was Alexei Mishin, Alexei Mishin was Alexei Yagudin's coach, Alexei Yagudin is Brian Joubert's idol. lol

You can say whatever you want about Brian and Johnny, but they totally won Russia over Not many people do.
An extraordinary cast! I'm sure that we'll eventually see videos of it. I sincerely hope that Moskvina skates not only with Mishin but also with Anton Sikharulidze, as she's done in recent shows. They even do lifts, death spirals, etc. This lady isn't afraid of anything, LOL!
Dick Button Historical Quote of the Month: "With them it's all about the most movement per measure." (commenting on Bestemianova/Bukin, during the 1988 Olympics, Calgary)
of the show absolutely brilliant! and if I was given to select members, I would have preferred to have been John and Kyoko, but not Maria and Alexei, and then she could come to Sylvia, in a show almost no girls, as I understand it, the participation of Irina question
I like the cast the way it is. I am disappointed that Plushy is not in it but I have already posted my guess for his absence (medical reason).
Given this tremendous cast, Ina & Zimmerman's absence doesn't bother me, even though they were coached by Tamara. I wouldn't assume that they were not INVITED; may be they are no longer skating? Ina quit skating long ago, I think.
This was just put together since June so I/Z probably have other commitments. I wouldn't take it as if they weren't invited either.
I thought John was coaching in Florida.
Plushy may or may not have been invited, but he still is recovering so that would probably the #1 he wouldn't be doing it. I'm sure he's not "afraid" of shows, he didn't get in trouble for just doing a show. If that were the case K/S and G/E would be allowed to do it either.
Sorry--should have worded my previous comment differently, since I have no way of knowing who was invited and who was not in the first place. Regardless, I think it would been nice if I&Z could be there with everyone else.
Looking at the list of skaters, it kind of makes me sad that Mishkutenok and Dmitriev broke up in the way that they did. To me, they will always be the quintessential Moskvina pair and Natalia M the quintessential Moskvina pair girl. Unforgettable. . ..
(By the way, no Bechke & Petrov or V&V, either. . .)
Yeah, it would have to be "special appearances by B&P and V&V" with them just coming out onto the ice or onto the stage to congratulate Moskvina. (I think they're all scattered now, aren't they? Don't know where Yelena Valova is now--she got married again, didn't she?--but isn't Denis Petrov coaching in China (with Chen Lu) and Elena Bechke coaching in the US? Is Vasiliev back in Chicago?)

In this rediscovered gem of a play, the lives of 17 year-old Cassandra Mortmain and her eccentric English family are turned upside down with the arrival of a handsome new landlord. As the Mortmains struggle to accept the strangers in their midst, new possibilities and new love unexpectedly begin to bloom. Dodie Smith (also author of The One Hundred and One Dalmatians among others) adapted her delightful romantic novel for the stage in 1954. Terry Teachout, of the Wall St. Journal wrote, "The word 'irresistible' is rarely true, but I don't see how anyone not descended from Scrooge McDuck could fail to fall for 'I Capture the Castle.'"

I was hoping to write this review last week, but as we all know, DirecTV had server problems and even though I logged into the site late, I still couldn't access all of the features of Supercast. Now that I'm able to log in, I can write about what's in store for the hardcore NFL fan.
This is great.
This is how your screen looks:
You have the real-time scores to your left, the game playing in the middle of your screen, and the option to have the game play or show highlights on the right. On the bottom, you can watch the stats update as the game progresses. And the scoreboard constantly updates so when a team reaches the red zone, a red arrow will appear underneath the score. Of course, there's an option for DirecTV's Red Zone Channel.
And if you go out, being able to see the highlights which are updated constantly is an absolute gem. Having DirecTV's NFL Sunday Ticket, Supercast and Sirius NFL Radio to listen to the games complete your NFL experience.
For me, I have the Red Zone Channel on TV and Supercast on my computer to switch around when Red Zone mentions a team is close to scoring. It's worth the extra cost, so as long as DirecTV has enough servers for everyone to log in, it's a great way to keep track of all the games.

Dennis Rodman's bizarre pistachio ad spoofs his ties to North Korea
September 17, 2013 5:58PM
Article Extras
Updated: September 17, 2013 11:15PM
When Dennis Rodman returned from another visit to North Korea earlier this month, he said his attempt at "basketball diplomacy" should be taken seriously by President Obama.
"People think this is a gimmick. I would love to make this a gimmick . . . but it's not about the money," Rodman said.
But in light of his new commercial for pistachios, it's harder to believe the former NBA wild child.
In the spot, Rodman (with pistachio-green hair) sits next to an actor dressed like North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un.
Rodman declares, "The secret to world peace is…pistachios," before the Kim impersonator presses a red button on his chair, vaporizing Rodman.
"Dennis Rodman does it because he's nuts," says a voiceover.
And Rodman wonders why Obama hasn't called.

Sounds like a good recipe for future disaster. I don't think you should use 3rd level subdomains today. They'll be at least a dozen counter responses to the following :-) -engines loath 3th level subdomains. You have to be a pretty big site to sustain 3rd level domain. The amount of spam that flows from 3rd level domains have turned them into the pariah of se's. Wild card dns, round robin dns, and virtual hosted sites have made 3rd levelers a lost cause for se's to attempt to sort it (even if innocent, they call 3 levelers "dns spam" in almost any and all forms). So they do what they always do, they draw large brush strokes to get rid of them. It's hard to sort out goodguy.domain.com from badguy.domain.com, but it is very easy to say "delete *.domain.com". Only Google seems to deal with them properly for the most part. They are dealt with as separate domains. The value today of 3rd level domains is less than zero. If you are _not_ doing 5k or more a day in se referrals now, nuke 'em. Lastly, don't use frames. SE's don't care for frames and don't index them properly. Every study on useability of frames show a wide segment of users don't care for them, don't understand them, or consider a site "broken" that uses them. They are chopping 30-50% of your page views right off the top before the word go. People see frames and hit the back button. >every page quality content Not every page. Sure you are going to have some traditional mandatory pages (contacts, about, generic info, sign ups, resources, and a few index pages that are navigational only...etc). I'd keep those under a dozen.
>I use subdomains and do a lot of cross linking.
-some engines have been known to ban hosts with 3rd level domains for no other reason than they are 3rd level domains.
-stick to domain.com and www.domain.com and that's it.
-if you have 3rd level domains, get rid of them.

The tipster also tells us hiring for the new restaurant's staff has already begun. Is this plan in addition to the aforementioned non-pizza venture in the Mission? Or were the facts just wrong about the Mission location? Anyhow, we look forward to straightening this out, and we'll go on the record saying we still hope Stoll's going to go all Mexican on us.

Twice a year, volunteers pick up trash along Audubon's adopted section of Route 62 from Riverside Road, where the Audubon Center and Sanctuary is located, south to the Pennsylvania state line.
Anyone interested is invited to join this worthwhile endeavor from 9 a.m. to noon Saturday. Rain or shine, volunteers will meet at the Nature Center at 1600 Riverside Road, one-quarter mile east of Route 62 between Jamestown and Warren. After donning a bright orange vest, they will ride in the van to Audubon's section of highway.
After matching orange trash bags are filled with refuse that has intentionally or accidentally ended up on the sides of the road, workers will return to the Nature Center for thanks and food.
Article Photos
Volunteers are pictured at a recent Audubon Center and Sanctuary's Roadside Cleanup.
Denny Anderson, Audubon volunteer, will again head the effort, as he has for many years.
Participants are reminded to dress for the weather and bring gloves if they have them.
For more information, call the Audubon Center at 569-2345 or reply at the Roadside Cleanup link at jamestownaudubon.org. Reservations are not required, but Audubon wants to be sure to have enough food.

Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) is a noninvasive technique that is increasingly used to understand the cerebral cortical networks and organizations. In this paper, we describe the role of fMRI for mapping language networks in the presurgical workup of patients with medically intractable temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE). Studies comparing fMRI with the intracarotid sodium amobarbital (Wada) test and fMRI with intraoperative cortical stimulation mapping for language lateralization and/or localization in medically intractable TLE are discussed.

I like "How YOU doin'?" simply because that's how he always said it.
I know, but they already use the exact phrase for the "Joey" thread in the general Sitcoms forum, so I thought I'd be a little cute with it.

Joey wasnt the greatest character and Matt Leblanc wasnt the greatest actor, but I love some of the more bizarre acting jobs that Joey would get. The musical about Sigmund Freud stands out for me. My absolutely favorite Joey work moment is when hes trying out for the Musical Tale of Two Cities and hes supposed to teach all the other actors the dance routine. The end product makes me laugh just thinking about it.
The worst work related thing was when Monica made him the prosthetic foreskin. Ew, ew, ew, ew, why?
Posted Mar 17, 2006 @ 3:12 PM
Lines like, "This hurts my Joey's Apple" and "Put your hands together" worked so well because of the character's charm
Posted Mar 17, 2006 @ 4:41 PM
I love that saying so much as it's so illogical that it works for Joey. Joey was obnoxious when he got too stupid (speaking French, anyone?), but when he was just a little slow, he was terrific. His slow responses were always the best. When he finds out about Monica and Chandler, and you slowly realize his brain cells are working together, it's a monumental moment for him.
Even though I just said I hated too dumb Joey, in the ninth season, when he's filling out Ross's medical paperwork, he kills me. "Occupation: Dinosaurs." "I thought maybe it was short for something...like Rossell or Rosstopher." And the air quotes thing is funny, even if he'd already used them correctly at some point in the series.
Posted Mar 17, 2006 @ 4:55 PM
Also, the bit with the medical paperwork was awesome. "Occupation: Dinosaurs." "Actually it's... dinosaurs is fine. -- The picture is not."
Joey was not one of my favorites in the early seasons but as time went on I just loved watching him. LeBlanc's expressions were what really did it, I think. When he figured out the truth about Monica and Chandler, his consternation when he let slip about Hugsy, his bedtime penguin pal, and his frustration with Rachel as the extreme soap fan.
All of that was great stuff. And anything that had him and Chandler together was always worth watching.

This episode has one of my favorite exchanges:As dumb as Joey was, there were times where he was actually sensible. Like when Ross and Chandler were bummed that their old college buddy:"Gandalf, the Party Wizard" wasn't able to visit.
Ross: Joey, you are gonna love this guy. Gandolf is like the party wizard!
Joey: Well, why do you call him Gandolf?
Ross: Gandolf the wizard. (Joey is still confused) Hello! Didnt you read Lord of the Rings in high school?
Joey: No, I had sex in high school.
One of the rare instances where Joey gets a joke that's about snark and not about him being generally clueless. There were fewer and fewer of these moments as the seasons progressed. Of all the ways Joey changed over the years, one of the things I came to miss most was his habit of cooking to relieve stress. We see it first in TOW The Boobies, then again in TOW Russ (which is my favorite of the two examples, what with Chandler sticking his hand in the cookie jar full of marinara sauce), and I always thought was such a fun little layer to his character. Joey grew up in a large family, so it makes perfect sense that he'd have picked up some basic cooking and cleaning skills. And to see him use a task like that as an outlet, sort of channelling his confusion and frustration into something productive, added a sense of realism to his character. I would have liked to have seen this trait re-surface later on when he was stressing over things like his feelings for Rachel or Mondler moving.

Joey was obnoxious when he got too stupid (speaking French, anyone?)
I wanted to throw things at the T.V. That was stupid beyond belief -- developmentally delayed territory.
Notwithstanding that, and a few other moments like it, Joey was indeed some much needed comic relief in the soapiness.

Is there another "Joey-ism" that we can use?
My favorite Joey quote has always been "let me tell you a little something about how the human body works." Cracks me up every time I hear it! He did love his food.
I think the thing I loved most about the Joey character was his genuin love and respect for Phoebe, Monica, and Rachel.
Me, too. There was always the kidding around (general and sexual), but I always felt he had a tender spot for the girls and was protective of them, especially when Phoebe and Rachel were pregnant. Oh and something that makes me laugh is that when they thought Phoebe was a porn star, Joey was the only one of the other 5 who wasn't going to watch the tape. Only when they figured it out that it was Ursula, did he become interested! Sweet.

This Chardonnay has brightly layered aromas of lemon zest and wet stone with subtle notes of white flowers. On the palate this wine is delicate with citrus and mineral flavors that lead into a clean finish.
This Chardonnay is a perfect complement to grilled mahi mahi or steamed lobster with chive butter.
"Chardonnays from this vineyard are virtually guaranteed to be among the richest in California, and Talley's 2008 certainly doesn't disappoint. It's a massively structured, flamboyant wine, tremendous in tropical fruit, pear, peach and apple flavors that taste like they've been baked into a pie, along with the sweet, smoky crust. A tremendous wine that must be paired with equally sized food. Lobster and scallops come to mind, served in rich cream and butter sauces." 95 Points Wine Enthusiast
"The 2008 is slightly thicker than the 2009. It is full-bodied with notions of honeyed apples, nectarines, white citrus, tangerine oil, and a subtle smoky component. Crisp acids, medium to full body, and outstanding texture, richness and length make for another impressive Chardonnay that may be slightly more honeyed than the 2009, without the delicacy and finesse of the latter vintage. However, it is more elegant, thick and unctuous than the 2009. It should drink well for 10-12 years." 94 Points The Wine Advocate
"Bright, green-tinged yellow. An intensely perfumed bouquet displays scents of lime zest, pear and anise, with suave floral and mineral qualities that gain strength with aeration. Rich and fleshy but dry, with a steely core of minerality supporting its deep citrus and orchard fruit flavors. Becomes spicier in the glass and finishes with excellent clarity, cut and juicy persistence. I've no doubt that this will be a slow ager." 93 Points International Wine Cellar
Talley Vineyards is a small family-owned and operated winery located in the Arroyo Grande Valley on California's South Central Coast. This valley opens directly to the Pacific Ocean, making it one of the coolest and most temperate viticultural areas in California. The goal at Talley Vineyards is to produce estate bottled Chardonnay and Pinot Noir of uncompromising quality. Talley Vineyards is committed to the prmicay of terrior in its wines, and every step taken from vine to bottle is reflective of this approach.
The largest of California's wine growing regions, the Central Coast produces the majority of California's wine. The district sprawls out, covering most of the vineyard land between San Francisco and Santa Barbara. Smaller sub-AVAs of the Central Coast include Monterey Bay, Paso Robles, Santa Ynez Valley, Santa Maria Valley, Santa Cruz Mountains and many others. Notable Facts...Read More About Central Coast

As the U.S. Navy wrestles with $11 billion in sequestration cuts this fiscal year, here's a bit of déjà vu for you.
"Naval aviation is currently facing one of the worst crises in its long history."
One would be mistaken in thinking that this statement was published in the current edition of the latest magazine. Instead, it is the beginning of an article published exactly 64 years ago on July 11, 1949, in Aviation Week & Space Technology.
Then, the Navy was dealt a blow with the cancellation of the 65,000-ton next-generation USS United States (CVA-58). Construction of the carrier would have cost some $189 million at the time.
Fast-forward 64 years and the modern-day supercarrier CVN-78, already $2.5 billion over its original budget, has its own political challenges. "I don't think some of us would have voted for it if we had known" about the rising costs, said Republican Sen. John McCain, a former naval aviator.
In the 1949 analysis, cuts in research and development funding for naval aviation, to the tune of $36 million, were labeled "another mortgage on the future of naval aviation," and the naval policy of then-Defense Secretary Louis Johnson was scrutinized.
Focusing on the future, the 1949 analysis states that "naval aviation cannot take many more defeats such as it has suffered during the past two years and remain an effective and integral part of the defense structure."

(English) Zbl 1239.39011 Nonlinear Anal., Real World Appl. 13, No. 3, 1451-1465 (2012). Summary: We perform a bifurcation analysis of a discrete predator-prey model with Holling functional response. We summarize stability conditions for the three kinds of fixed points of the map, further called F 1 ,F 2 and F 3 and collect complete information on this in a single scheme. In the case of F 2 we also compute the critical normal form coefficient of the flip bifurcation analytically. We further obtain new information about bifurcations of the cycles with periods 2, 3, 4, 5, 8 and 16 of the system by numerical computation of the corresponding curves of fixed points and codim-1 bifurcations, using the software package MatContM. Numerical computation of the critical normal form coefficients of the codim-2 bifurcations enables us to determine numerically the bifurcation scenario around these points as well as possible branch switching to curves of codim-1 points. Using parameter-dependent normal forms, we compute codim-1 bifurcation curves that emanate at codim-2 bifurcation points in order to compute the stability boundaries of cycles with periods 4, 5, 8 and 16.

Article: AN EVALUATION OF SOME COMMERCIAL TEST PAPERS AND TABLETS FOR THE DETERMINATION OF GLUCOSE IN URINE.
[show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The commercial test papers, Tes-Tape, Clinistix, Uristix and Combistix, and the tablet preparation, Clinitest, were evaluated as indicators of glucose in urine by means of a quantitative automated glucose oxidase procedure for glucose determination. The semiquantitative Tes-Tape yielded very low values on urine specimens when compared with the quantitative method. More reliable results could be obtained with this product if the urine specimens were first treated with a mixed bed resin to remove inhibitors of the glucose oxidase peroxidase system. The qualitative test papers, Clinistix, Uristix and Combistix, yielded responses in closer agreement with the automated data, the best performance being obtained with Clinistix. The semiquantitative Clinitest tablets generally yielded more accurate results on a direct urine test than did Tes-Tape, although the Clinitest tablet is designed to measure total reducing substances rather than glucose alone.Canadian Medical Association journal 10/1964; 91:581-5. · 7.27 Impact Factor - British medical journal 12/1964; 2(5420):1311-3.

Conveniently located across the street from the Parque Eduardo Metro stop, the Residencial Horizonte is the stuff of cheapo dreams: 52 tasteful rooms with low rates.
The Horizonte occupies six of eight floors in a pink concrete apartment building one block west of the park. The gray-tiled basement level reception desk is no-nonsense and the darkish stairways may at first put you off. But hang in there!
In the rooms, furnishings, prints and fabrics are attractive, if not terribly interesting. Air conditioning and satellite TV are available in all rooms. Baths are spotless, and some are equipped with bathtubs.
Note that windows are not soundproof, and Avenida Antonio Augusto can be busy. (Light sleepers should request a room off the street.) Be sure to inquire ahead for a room with a view.

In 5th grade I was hustling my Genesis games

Cassidy was selling Sega Genesis video games back when he was 11 or 12 (an honest description, not a brag, since many kids are selling actual drugs in 5th grade). When he was even younger he would buy a pack of gum and then sell individual pieces to his classmates in order to make a profit. Cassidy was born a hustler, dig?

Senator John McCain blasted Colin Powell, the Secretary of State under Bush, for
the 2003 U.S.-led war against Iraq.
Powell "got us
into Iraq," McCain said in an interview with National Review
"Colin Powell,
interestingly enough, said that Obama got us out of Iraq," McCain said, standing
outside of an American Legion hall. "But it was Colin Powell, with his testimony
before the U.N. Security Council that got us into Iraq."
McCain also
earlier blasted Powell for endorsing Obama for reelection. "Well, I'm just
saddened because, you know, I used to be a great admirer of Colin Powell," he
said. "We were friends. I think one of the sad aspects of his career is going to
the United Nations Security Council and telling them things about Iraq that were
absolutely false."
"All I can say
is that Gen. Powell, you disappoint us and you have harmed your legacy even
further by defending what has clearly been the most feckless foreign policy in
my lifetime," he continued. Seattle Post
McCain himself
was an early advocate for attacking Iraq. On Oct. 18, 2001, he spoke about the
"second phase" after Afghanistan. "The second phase -- if I could just make one,
very quickly -- the second phase is Iraq. There is some indication, and I don't
have the conclusions, but some of this anthrax may -- and I emphasize may --
have come from Iraq." On Feb. 2, 2002,
he said in Munich, "Terrorist training camps exist on Iraqi soil, and Iraqi
officials are known to have had a number of contacts with al Qaeda. These were
probably not courtesy calls," he said. "Americans have internalized the mantra
that Afghanistan represents only the first front in our global war on terror.
The next front is apparent, and we should not shrink from acknowledging it."
McCain voted in
October 2002 to authorize use of force in Iraq. Huffington
Post On Feb. 13,
2003, he wrote an op-ed about Iraq titled "Delay can be dangerous."
"Sept. 11, 2001
showed that al-Qaeda is a grave threat. Saddam Hussein has the ability to make a
far worse day of infamy by turning Iraq into a weapons assembly line for
al-Qaeda's network," he wrote. "Does anyone really want to vouch for Saddam, a
pathological risk-taker with a history of violent aggression and an enormous
stockpile of the world's worst weapons, when terrorists could help him attack us
without fingerprints?" Huffington Post
