So this morning I was taking a shower and I dropped my washcloth. When I lifted my head I banged my head on a solid shelf-thing we have in the shower. My head is bleeding and the worst part is my body soap is red so I wasn't sure if I was washing with soap or blood.

WASHINGTON (AP) - Arizona Sen. John McCain, a political maverick and unflinching supporter of the war in Iraq, clinched the Republican presidential nomination Tuesday night. Barack Obama defeated Hillary Rodham Clinton in the Democratic primary in Vermont, and the two rivals dueled in Ohio, Texas and Rhode Island in a riveting race for their party's presidential nomination.
McCain, 71, gained the 1,191 delegates needed to claim the Republican nomination with a series of primary victories, completing a remarkable comeback that began in the snows of New Hampshire six weeks ago. President Bush invited him to the White House for a show of support on Wednesday.
The former Vietnam prisoner of war is making his second try for the White House, after losing the GOP nomination to Bush in 2000. McCain went over the top in the Associated Press' delegate count based on his performance in the night's primaries as well as a late show of support from Republican National Committee members who are delegates to the party convention next summer in St. Paul, Minn. Campaign aides readied an enormous banner bearing the magic number
to serve as a backdrop for a victory celebration in Dallas.

Chalk, Pomp, and Spirit! What really fuels an OU Homecoming week?
Game day in Norman always brings an intense atmosphere but Homecoming produces a special kind of crowd. I remember standing in the stadium thinking, "Wow, I've never felt the stadium shake so much from a crowd yelling BOOMER SOONER!"
For many organizations Homecoming is an extravagant event with countless hours of hard work put into the floats, boards, banners, chalking, and the pep rally dance. Every year Campus Activities Council (CAC) organizes the long time tradition of Homecoming here at OU. This year our theme was Bound As One. Months of preparation have been put into each and every category. It is a time where the student body organizations work together to put on a campus wide event.
This year CAC aimed to create a Homecoming shirt where the same logo would be used again and again. I love being able to see a new tradition created at OU and yes the shirts are super cool. Another new thing CAC did this year was the Rah! Rally. The rally was on Friday, placed in the Lloyd Noble Center and in previous years it was somewhere else that didn't really offer what the LNC does. Being able to see OU alum Gerald McCoy (All-Pro DT for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers) come back was remarkable. Since I graduate here in December it was a refreshing reminder that once you become a Sooner, you are a Sooner for life. I am sad this will be my last Homecoming as a student but it was a great one to end on!
Needless to say the Rah! Rally was a blast and excited students even more for the game. The participating groups this year truly went above and beyond the normal requirements, every theme deserves credit for their creativity and hard work. The themes winning this year in the Homecoming competition were, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Water for Elephants, and Mary Poppins.

U Sing, I Sing, We All Sing for U Sing
The 66th consecutive year is upon us! Of course I am talking about the long time tradition here at OU called University Sing! U-sing, for short, is a production applying an overall theme to create a show that involves singing, dancing, as well as a storyline. The theme for this year is, There's A First Time For Everything and auditions for the show were this past Sunday, September 28th. Seven out of eleven organizations make the show every year and this year is not only bringing tons of talent in dance and vocals but also in comedy and creativeness! The shows that made it this year are First Class, Little Lion Man, One Small Step, Play Ball, Rockefeller, Superman, and Toy Story; each of which depict a different first time throughout history. It is going to be a long and exciting wait until the weekend of November 8th when all these shows will be performed for the first time for their organizations, friends, and family.
This year I was fortunate enough to get involved with Campus Activities Council and applied to be on the U-sing 2014 Executive Team. I am helping out with the Awards Show of the program which will be following after the last performance on Saturday. You are hearing it here first, the trophies are awesome this year and I know everyone is aiming towards first place! Our executive team leader is the one and only Julianne Hennessy, along with her vice chairs Ariel Mackey, Ann Estes, Jeff Pitcock, and Jennifer Phillips. Without them U-sing wouldn't be as successful as it has been so far. It has been without a doubt the most fun I have had with people I didn't know at all until just last semester. I highly recommend to any current freshmen to get involved with U-sing next year or if you plan on being here next fall then try out for your organizations u-sing cast because you truly do make college memories.

Top 9 Things You Need To Know Before Moving To Norman
After spending my second summer here in Norman, I have realized a few things. First, Chimy's is always closed at random times in the summer and that really grinds my gears when I need a chimichanga fast. Second, I've grown to love the city that I have called home for the past 3 years (sorry Mom and Dad). After living in Norman for so long, I consider myself a Norman resident and not just a college student living here. There are are so many cool things about this city that I wouldn't of known if I haven't of lived here year round. I have compiled a list of the 9 things you need to know before you move to Norman. This city can surprise you!
1. Festivals galore!
Norman is known as the city of festivals so there is always something going on during the school year and even in the summer. My favorite festival is Norman Music Festival is a (picture above) where Main Street literally gets shut down for three days for a massive FREE music festival that features many local bands in the spring! Some other cool festivals include Medieval Fair, Jazz in June and the Chocolate Festival (unlimited samples of chocolate, need I say more?).
2. Culture and Arts
Norman is a mecca for culture and arts and two of my favorite places for that is right here on OUr campus! Sam Noble Oklahoma Museum of Natural History is one of the largest University-based Natural History museums and features the world's largest Apatosaurus (a really big dinosaur) as well as other cool artifacts about Oklahoma's history as well. Another museum we have here in Norman is the Fred Jones Jr. Museum of Art which holds over 1 billion dollars of art inside of it!
3. FOOD everywhere
Queso at The Mont, Gyros at Greek House, Boba Tea at Tea Cafe, Norman has a thriving food scene! There are over 100 restaurants in Norman with many diverse offerings. Vietnamese, Peruvian, Moroccan, Indian and many other offerings right here in the middle of Oklahoma. One word of advice for y'all, EAT LOCAL! There are so many restaurants that are a big part of the Norman community so try them all.
4. NEVER take Lindsey.
When Fall Semester rolls around and when you add thousands of new students on the roads, things can get pretty hectic. One tried and true saying that you will hear over and over from many upperclassmen is "Never take Lindsey." Lindsey St. is the main artery that runs right in the middle of campus here in Norman, Oklahoma and one of the most congested roads as well. Save yourself the frustration during 5 o'clock rush hour, take Highway 9, take Boyd, but never take Lindsey.
5. Big City atmosphere, Small-town feel
In terms of population, Norman is actually the 3rd largest city in the State of Oklahoma right behind Oklahoma City and Tulsa! Even with such a large population, you won't feel like your living in a big city because Norman has such a small town feel to it. The residents of Norman are laid-back and friendly. Main St and Campus Corner are two great additions to the Norman community and add to to the small town feel. However, even with all the small town feel, Norman has so many amenities that some of the bigger cities have! Sooner Mall and SuperTarget are some of my favorites!
6. Remember, people still live here!
That stunning women in the picture above is no other than Mayor Cindy Rosenthal, mayor of Norman. I recently had the honor of being an SGL at Camp Crimson with our namesake being the mighty Rosenthal (shout out to Rosenthal Fam). One of the things she told us in her presentation is to always remember that people actually live here instead of just college students. You're going to find some of the friendliest people in this town but remember that they still live and work here so try not to be disrespectful to the residents. Contrary to popular belief, most norman residents actually love college kids!
7. Remember the Oklahoman Way
If you're from out-of-state, this one applies more to you. Even if you have strong ties to Texas, Missouri, Kansas or wherever you're from, remember when you move to Norman, you're going to have to get used to the Oklahoma way. Sweet tea, saying Yes Ma'am, No sir, sheer hospitality are some of the things you will have to get used to. The Oklahoman way also means looking out for one another. Welcome to Oklahoma y'all!
8. Ditch the Car
Kind of piggybacking off the "Don't Drive on Lindsey" statement, you'll slowly realize that you won't need your car as much as you think in Norman. One piece of sage advice, get a bike! I recently just moved into a house near campus and it was probably one of the best decisions of my life. All I do is bike and walk everywhere and its great. Norman is such a compact town that you can bike and walk everywhere. You'll realize that you won't use your car as much.
9. Realize that Norman is the best college town on this planet.
Norman is a beautiful place to live and go to school. It's a quirky town, filled with weird stores, restaurants and culture events. It is a big town, filled with all the amenities you'll ever need. It has a small town feel, great mom and pops, friendly people and more. It is a college town and all the things that come with it being a college town. You're going to be spending the next four (or five) years in this wonderful city and you'll slowly appreciate this beautiful town. Some of my favorite memories and experiences have happened in this town and I don't ever want to leave. NORMAN FOREVER.

Volleying the Night Away
If you're taking classes and hanging around Norman during the summer with nothing to do, think again! OU Summer Session has a ton of events to keep you occupied when you're not studying away during the day. Through the month of June, Summer Session is holding a volleyball tournament on campus and the first round was nothing less than an evening of friendly competition and lots of sand. Several groups on campus formed teams and rolled out to show everyone who the best volley-star in Norman was.
Though there weren't actually any titles given out at the first round of play, the competition was fierce and it turns out several members of the OU family have hidden skills on the sand that they put to good use during their intense rounds of play. The only thing missing was ESPN commentators and hand made signs to cheer on their favorite teams. Check out summer.ou.edu to see the list of events that Summer Session will be putting on throughout the summer, and while you're at it get a group of friends or coworkers together and sign up- you might even score an awesome tank!

One "Big" Day
Seeing a large portion of the student body and faculty all come together in service is something so inspiring and moving, and that's exactly what happens every year during The Big Event here at The University of Oklahoma. Student organizations work throughout the Norman, Moore, and Oklahoma City communities at different job sites and make huge differences for everyone involved. I served on Operations Staff for The Big Event and I was in charge of going to a select number of sites across the community and evaluating what their needs were for "The Big Day". Seeing the people in charge of the sites being so gracious and thankful for our help was beyond humbling and makes you think of the impact you can make in your community. On the actual day of The Big Event, all of the students participating meet up on the North Oval and take part in the opening ceremonies, with appearances from President Boren and Clarke Stroud, two of campus' biggest celebs. After words of encouragement from them and a small speech from the Big Event chair, this year senior Ben Laptad, all of the students head out to their respective job sites with the hope to make the best change they can in the community. From my behind the scenes perspective on Ops Staff, it was so awesome to see all of the volunteers go off in the morning and come back at the end of the day with smiles on their faces and full hearts from making such an impact in their communities. I actually got to visit and volunteer at a job site during the day, which isn't always the case for someone on Ops Staff, and it was so humbling to have the owner of the day care I was working at come outside and gasp at the progress we had made in just 2 short hours. Moments like that are what make The Big Event so special to this campus and it is a huge part of what makes The University of Oklahoma "live on" and become a true home to all of its students and staff.

Let It Go!
One of the hardest things about starting at a new place is finding yourself and where you belong. I know, I know, the gag reflex has just hit you, but just make it through. I mean what did you expect? The title of this blog is "Let It Go". And as such it will be filled with fantastic, albeit, extremely cheesy Frozen metaphors and references. So let's get started.
When I first got to OU, I was extremely overwhelmed. I was the first person in my family to go to college in the United States, and I honestly had no idea what to expect. When you first step on campus, you are instantly bombarded with things that you should do and be involved in. And as a student that was pretty involved throughout her high school career, the pressure was on. I was going to be super involved in anything related to pre-medicine on campus, make fantastic grades, and meet the best friends that I would ever have. No big deal, right? Well obviously, pushing myself into everything that seemed even mildly interesting and tackling those difficult freshman pre-med classes made me quite miserable. But I was the good girl that I always had to be. Conceal, don't feel, don't let them know, and always walk around with a smile on your face. That was my M.O. (You were waiting for when frozen would finally make an appearance, weren't you?).
Anyway, with this self-destructive lifestyle on full throttle, I eventually discovered the best lesson of all. Let it go! Seriously. Let your past go. Let your high expectations, your parents and siblings pressures, and everything that is on your back go. Your college experience is completely yours to do what you will with it. It can be a vulnerable thing sometimes, but start with a blank slate! One of the hardest parts about college is truly finding yourself. Who are you? What do you like to do? Don't be afraid to try new things, new organizations, and a class that you never thought you would be interested in. Slowly start filling up that plate and then you'll allow yourself to grow into the person that you were meant to be instead of an idealized version of yourself created by a high schooler. You'll also find friends and relationships in the most unlikely places. There are over 450 organizations and over 150 majors at this University. So don't be afraid to create yOUr own experience.
With that being said, I'll leave you with a quote from Eleanor Roosevelt, "Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, and today is a gift". That is why they call it a present. Sometimes the pressures of a big test or a relationship can seem overwhelming and the worst possible thing in your life. But it'll pass. In case I haven't said it enough, let it go! So make sure to take the time to enjoy the little things about college life, because you won't get them back!

Moms, Musicals, and the Mont.
As much as I love Norman, sometimes a girl misses her mom. Luckily, OU hosts an annual parents' weekend every year. In the fall, Campus Activities Council celebrated "Dad's Day" with a football game, meet-and-greets around campus corner, and several performances of the University Sing competition. While Dad's Day happens every fall, Mom's Day is held in the spring. In the days leading up to the weekend, members of CAC advertised by asking the question in various places around campus: "Have you called your mom yet?"
My mom arrived on Friday in time to watch the campus awards ceremony that happens on Friday afternoon. By 4 PM, proud moms swarmed the campus with their pride and joys. After my brother and I treated our own mother to a dinner at a local popular restaurant, the Mont, there were an abundance of fun activities all over OU to enjoy. Just like during Dad's Weekend, Mom's Weekend is during the same weekend as CAC's Scandals competition. Scandals is a singing and dancing competition made up of mini "musicals" put on by sororities and fraternities, with small performances in between each group's show. It's a really fun show to watch, and moms eat it up. This year's theme was "And So It Was Said," so every performance was based on a specific quote chosen by the acts.
On Saturday, there were multiple other events that students could take their mothers to, such as a delicious brunch, and, the coolest part of the day, the Mom's Day Tea at President Boren's house, the Boyd House. President Boren's wife, Molly Shi, hosts a tea for students and their mothers. The weather in the courtyard of the Boyd House was perfect, and meeting the Borens was a great way to top off Mom's Weekend!
As a senior, this is my last Mom's Weekend at OU. I was so thrilled to have one last opportunity to enjoy my favorite place on earth (OU), with one of my favorite people on earth (Foxy Roxie, my mom). As usual, CAC hosted another successful event; I couldn't have asked for a better final Mom's Weekend at OU!

The Best DAY of My Life
Almost four years ago, I began my OU adventure. Coming into college, I expected all of the usual experiences – making new friends, learning from great faculty, joining some fun clubs, etc. While all of these did occur for me, it is the experiences that I did not expect that have made my time at OU unique and much more incredible than I could have imagined. Recently, I was given the opportunity to meet one of my idols, former Justice Sandra Day O'Connor. As the first female Supreme Court Justice, she is nothing short of a living legend, particularly for a pre-law student like myself.
A few times each semester, President Boren hosts "President's Associates' Dinners," where a special guest visits the University of Oklahoma. In the past we have had guests such as U.S. senators, famous journalists, etc. When I discovered Justice O'Connor was coming to OU, I was excited. When I discovered that through an organization I'm a part of, I would be allowed to help host her, I was nothing short of ecstatic.
My day began at 11:30 a.m., where I met Justice O'Connor at the law school. While there, she gave a "fireside chat" with the dean of the law school and the OCU President. The court room in which she spoke was packed to capacity with students and faculty who wanted to hear from her. Justice O'Connor showed off her wit and humor while answering questions asked by the audience. Later on in the day, she spoke at the OU student union for an audience of around 1500 – the biggest crowd in years. I, along with the rest of the room, drank in every word.
Having the chance to meet someone so influential is an opportunity I know I would not have gotten at any other school. President Boren frequently attracts exciting visitors to our university, and OU is a rare school for allowing student hosts for important guests. At the next President's Associates' Dinner, the director of the CIA will be the guest. Experiences such as these stand out among the many things that have reinforced my decision to attend OU years ago.

Winter Welcomes Food and Fun!
After a long, refreshing winter break, Campus Activities Council welcomes students back to their second home to start 2014 off right with a week's worth of free food and awesome events! Winter Welcome Week eases the transition back into school mode by providing delicious meals and fun winter activities sponsored by vendors such as, Raising Cane's and Which Wich, and on campus organizations ranging from the Student Alumni Association and Sooners Helping Sooners.
Each morning hot breakfast is available on the South Oval from 9:00 to 11:00 am, perfect for grabbing a Sonic breakfast burrito and a cup of coffee from Starbucks or Crimson and Whipped Cream on your way to class! Beginning at 11:00am, every day holds a different event. On Monday, come test your balance and strength with sumo wrestling. Lose a match? No problem; fuel up with some Raising Cane's for lunch and jump back in the ring. If art is more your thing, Tuesday will satisfy your creativity needs with cookie decorating. After cookies, try an array of Which Wich sandwiches; the two make a great pair! Wednesday will fulfill everyone's favorite childhood memory of sledding; grab a toboggan and work up an appetite for Taco Casa. Love all of the activities that CAC provides? Check out the involvement fair on Thursday while munching on a Jimmy John sandwich. Later in the afternoon, the volunteer fair will be open as well. These are great ways to become a part of the action! Friday brings Welcome Week to an end with Papa John's pizza and an ice rink in the union courtyard until 9:00 pm.
Luckily, the excitement doesn't end after lunch. If you can't get enough of breakfast, Jim Thorpe will have midnight breakfast to satisfy your late night hunger craves and energize you for the snowball fight taking place in the Walker-Adams mall on Tuesday. After a long day of sledding on Wednesday, relax during the movie night with a CAC Film Series sponsored film. Thursday evening comes to a close with night at the Huff; pick your favorite sport!
CAC knows the best way to welcome in 2014 and the Sooner family back from the winter break. Just as the winter break ends, Winter Welcome Week begins!

Our Crimson Creamed their Crimson
It was a pleasant surprise that we made it to a BCS Bowl Game this season. After upsetting Oklahoma State we anxiously waited to see what bowl game we would be put in. Immediately after they announced our placement in the Sugar Bowl, a group of friends and I bought our tickets, booked our hotel, and planned on rooting for the Sooners in New Orleans whether or not we won. It literally was going to be the last opportunity to be able to attend a BCS Bowl game. To be offered a position in a BCS Bowl Game is an honor. Our head football coach, Bob Stoops, has played and won in every BCS bowl. The Sugar Bowl was the only bowl he had not conquered. Therefore, this game was huge for our university and football program. With the game being played in the Mercedes Superdome in New Orleans, we were sure to have a great time. This game attracted thousands of families and students because of the location. I was sure to make this a trip to remember.
On the car ride down all of us talked and fantasized about how awesome it would be to actually win against the defending national champs. In the back of our minds we even thought about how it would make this trip the best trip we had ever been on if we won. Never thinking it would actually happen, we were very skeptical going into the game and expected the worst. We were about to play a football game going against the one and only Bama, the ruler of the SEC.
We found out pretty quickly how crazy New Orleans can be especially on game day. This was the ultimate tailgating experience. People were throwing crimson beads on every block of Bourbon Street. You could not go into a restaurant without fans chanting "BOOMER" or "ROLL TIDE"! Alabama fans were constantly giving us Sooner fans a hard time by saying we didn't stand a chance. Unfortunate for them, we were about to show them that we deserved to be in this BCS bowl game just as much as they did. It was an experience that I have never endured anywhere else in my college career.
45-31. Can you believe it? Was it Sooner Magic? Was it luck? I'm not sure what it was, but we couldn't believe that we had actually won. Crimson and cream streamers filled up the superdome as the students screamed Boomer Sooner for countless minutes. We just beat the self-proclaimed "number one" school in the nation!! I felt like I was in a crazy dream! A group of students started the chant "Bye Bye SEC" and it eventually echoed throughout the entire stadium. As the last few seconds rolled by, every Sooner watched the Bama fans leave the stadium. Only about twenty-five percent of the stadium was left to celebrate, and it was none other than the Sooners! Big Bowl Game Bob had completed his BCS Bowl collection! He was now the ONLY coach to win every BCS bowl game and a national championship! After the game, a state of euphoria continued when all the Sooner fans took over New Orleans famous Bourbon Street! There was nothing but OU flags, fans, and the famous Boomer Sooner chant playing up and down the street. Every student had lost their voice from screaming so loudly. I have a feeling I will be on a "SUGAR" high for a long time. This was the best way to go out as a student, but I am so eager for next year. So is it the 2014 football season yet? Now let's go win a National Championship! BOOMER!

Bob Dylan's Hand Lettering Experience
"I´ve been thinking for a lot of time on doing a personal project where I could get out of the computer for a little bit, and have pleasure doing something handmade. Getting back to the basics.
Inspired by Bob Dylan´s Subterranean Homesick Blues video, where he flips cards with the lyrics as the song plays, I decided to recreate those cards with handmade type. I ended up doing all the lyrics, and not just some of the words, as Dylan did.
There are 66 cards done in one month during my spare time using only pencil, black tint pens and brushes. The challenge was not to use the computer, no retouching was allowed. Getting a letter wrong meant starting the page over." — Leandro Senna

Kind of a cover, but he co-wrote this song with Ryan Adams, so not entirely. Gillian Welch is such a treasure and the marriage of hers and Dave's voices is a beautiful thing.
This is an absolutely brilliant scene.

What's amazing, and this is Reiner as much as Ephron, is that so much of this movie is just talking. One, the performances are masterful. Two, the staging and blocking are visually engaging and help break up the dialogue. They're at a Giants game, the Met, Central Park, shopping for shoes, in the Sharper Image. Ephron creates a dynamic and visual setting (that's also relatable) and Reiner keeps it moving. Harry and Sally roll out a new rug. Harry and Jess have to do the wave. Harry and Sally are on a moving walkway. There are plenty of diner, car, and restaurant scenes, but little details like Harry spitting out grape pits just make it so great.

hashtag yolo.mov (FULL EXPLANATION OF THE "YOLO" LIEFSTYLE) (by steveroggenbuck)
Steve Roggenbuck is my thinspo.
Really though, this guy is so witty and self-aware that he makes "carpe diem"-style inspiration cool again.
Further evidence that with just a little help, the Album Leaf can trick anything into seeming ultra-meaningful.
i aspired to the former reaction, but was nagged by the latter. cynicism dies slowly.
incidentally, while googling, i discovered that "The Album Leaf" is the actual name of a band favored and often joined by sigur ros, who soundtrack—and ostensibly make—this.
I just thought about this movie for a few minutes and I started crying ("tears of joy"). it's really amazing to me how this exists and how it's not something I just contrived in my head to make myself feel better about being alive. anyway, after watching it, I like being alive a lot…I can't describe how I feel about it other than that I love it more than anything else I've ever seen or heard! I would put this behind a read more but who cares

Former mental_floss writers John and Hank Green have started a new nerdy thing on YouTube, and it's pretty great: Crash Course is a series of educational videos covering World History (John) and Biology (Hank). The production values are high (including animation, HD, all that good stuff), and each video is about ten minutes long.
So without further ado, I give you Crash Course #1: The Agricultural Revolution.
Will has a new video for a reworked "I See A Darkness" and is apparently writing a book called "Will Oldham on Bonnie Prince Billy". Also, I just wet myself.
Awesome. The new version (produced by Steve Albini) is way more Outlaw country and a lot less elegiac than the original. I hope the video spawns a Girls with Will Oldham Eyes meme.

The Kansas City Chiefs have a new offensive coordinator and he thinks that the QB he inherited in Matt Cassel, is a winner.
Talking with reporters this week, Daboll pointed to Cassel's two 10+ win seasons as evidence that the QB can get the job done. He also noted that Cassel is currently in some rather illustrious company.
"He's been a winner," Daboll told reporters in Kansas City on Thursday. "He's had two 10-plus win seasons. I did a study just this offseason about 10-plus-win quarterbacks, which is what you're defined by, obviously. There's been nine of them in the last four years that have had two or more 10-plus win seasons in the regular season, and Matt is one of them. The other ones being Brady, (Drew) Brees, (Aaron) Rodgers, Peyton Manning, Ben Roethlisberger, Eli (Manning), (Joe) Flacco, (Matt) Ryan, so he's been a winner. He works his tail off in the classroom. I think he's done a good job in these OTAs, and I'm looking forward to working with him."
It is good that Daboll believes in Cassel because #7 is clearly the best QB on KC's roster. Daboll was able to revive Miami's offense last season with QB Matt Moore and limited weapons so KC fans are hoping that he;ll have even more success with the Chiefs.
Cassel may never be remembered as a great QB but he certainly can be an effective one. Hopefully Daboll can get him to be effective once again in 2012.

A Quickly Dashed-Off Note
Something that's consistently surprised me --
Often, something you dash off quickly does just as well as something you work painstakingly at.
I've seen "screw it, why not?" fast proposals get business, a quick phonecall or request pay huge dividends, and all sorts of quick "dashed-off" attempts do well.
Yesterday's blog post got really popular. Why? I don't know. It's not really predictable. But it does suggest that trying a lot of stuff without downside leads to results.

I needed the phone so I could see the dial easier. The background color does make it easier to see the dial. I only need the 2 phones and it works well. Motorola is a good brand.
Light weight and thin with good clarity and easy to understand. Our favorite feature is always the speaker so that we can conference with the Grandkids. We are quite pleased.
So far we are enjoying the phones, but still learning the features I don't understand why caller Id doesn't show show up?

The American public's gullibility regarding "payroll taxes" is only exceeded by government officials' deceit in manipulating it.
These taxes are intended to pay the premiums for employees' future Social Security and Medicare benefits. Reducing the amounts paid in simply hastens the shortfalls for future benefits the payers are rightfully due. Add that to the government's disgracefully irresponsible squandering of the so-called "trust fund" already collected, and you have the recipe for disaster for aging workers who deserve better – a disaster for which no government official will ever be held responsible, of course.

Body Wrapping Tips
Take a hot shower first ~ make sure skin is clean and pores are open. No lotions or perfumes on your skin before you wrap.
Do not use soaps with lanolin ~ they tend to clog pores.
Use a measuring tape ~ write down measurements daily. Make sure to measure 3 areas before you wrap.
Use a Sharpie ~ mark where you measured for more accurate results. A pen mark will be gone when you remove the applicator.
Measure 3 spots ~ (waist, belly button and lower ab). This will help make sure you are being accurate. Add those inch loss results together to come up with your total loss amount.
Use proper wrapping material ~ Saran wrap, ace bandage or tight clothing (biker shorts) to secure applicator snug enough so the wrap doesn't slide off, but not tight enough to make you start sweating.
Wear for 45 minutes ~ then remove the saran wrap and the body wrap. The goal is to have as much of the product absorb as possible so rub it in after you remove the wrap, don't wash it off.
Drink plenty of water ~ ½ your body weight in ounces the day you wrap and 3 days following. (If you weigh 150 lbs, drink 75 ounces of water a day)
No sweating ~ don't work out or do anything else that will make you sweat while you are wearing the wrap.
Measure every day ~ drink your water and think slim! Only use one wrap per area every 72 hours anything more is a waste. (Example, don't put 2 wraps on your belly)
Measurable Results Are Noticed From Tightening, Toning, Firming, Hydrating and Reduction In the Appearance of Cellulite.
Relax and enjoy the 45 minutes

Another useful addition - it turns out that once you've added a new item into Collections.plist and Collections.strings, you can also set an icon for it. Just make a 20x20 .tif (one "f", not two), name it the same as your "identifier" in Collections.plist (e.g. Abstract.tif if your identifier was "Abstract"), and you're done.

Jonathan Franzen Stephen King Madeline Albright Anna Quindlen Alison Bechdel Clive Barker Toni Morrison Woody Allen Rose Madder Donna Tartt Jonathan King George Will Jonathan Martin Oklahoma City
Here are some authors I can for sure beat in a fight: Jonathan Franzen, George Will, George R. R. Martin, Stephen King, R. L. Stine
Stephen King, Donna Tartt, and Jonathan Franzen wish you a merry Christmas.
The Corrections by Jonathan Franzen is good. I just finished Rose Madder by Stephen King. It was good.
Is it better to be Woody Allen or Kubrick? Stephen King or Jonathan Franzen. Prolific or perfectionist?
Stephen King's face looks like a warped version of Jonathan Franzen's. Discuss.
Okay, a buddy of mine just attempted to call Jonathan Franzen a "page-turner as compulsively readable as Stephen King." Um.
Which book should I read, fellas? Animal farm, Beloved by Toni Morrison, The damnation Game by Clive Barker, Freedom by Jonathan Franzen, Full Dark, No Stars by Stephen King, or Freakonomics by Steven D Levitt and Stephen J. Dubner? Let me know, okay?
good week for books. new Jonathan Franzen, Alison Bechdel, and Stephen King.
This week: Anna Quindlen, Jonathan Franzen, Madeline Albright, and Stephen King make new visits to old territory. Plus Alice Randall, Auma Obama, Oklahoma City, another Kennedys memoir, and more.

text: U of I Looking to Refresh its Logo, Branding CHAMPAIGN, Ill. (AP) -- The University of Illinois says it will be spending the next year and a half re-evaluating its logos and branding, calling the effort overdue in sparking interest among recruits and fans. The News-Gazette in Champaign reports that university officials say the review is unrelated to Chief Illiniwek. As the university's assistant athletic director for corporate sponsorships, Marty Kaufmann says the university hasn't updated any of its brands since before 2007. Kaufmann adds the university will work with Nike's graphic designers and marketing experts to refresh the school's look and brand, at Nike's expense. That could include tweaking a font or making the colors more consistent. He says any changes likely won't be apparent until the fall of next year. Kaufmann says the rebranding push won't address the mascot issue. News management powered by Xpression News

this is ********. I had this story a week ago and wanted to post it!! but for some reason it wasn't irrelevent..Now its on here..Love this site, but the mod's are real dirty for article posting..
Guess we'll see tomorrow. Although half the stuff in the video more then likely won't be on this phone.
anyone know the start time and if there will be a live streaming or a live Twitter page like for the ipad event last year?
Wish they would get rid of the home button and just make the hold front of the iPhone to utilize that space for more screen display. Since everything is touch....... Why not, especially after some hundreds having issues with the button apple can minimize that problem by not having one
thats old buddy.... i saw it al ready hahahahah but thanks for the post pice
Mission control , apple you paying attention to this guy and his ideas
I'm calling it now.....
Not gonna be wider. A5X chip (not A6). Same 512mb RAM (which won't be mentioned at the unveiling because its not an improvement. Same storage capacities. No fancy fingerprint scanner. Average battery life (no significant improvement if any). Same UI. No gorilla glass.
Basically just a taller screen with 4G LTE. Just enough to shut everyone up for a couple more years.
Make me a liar Apple. I dare you.
the fingerprint Home Button would be epic.
Here's how tomorrow is gonna go: Here's the new iPhone. You've all see it. You've all know what's in it. Thank you for coming.
The battery is Definetly going to be improved... Larger screen = larger battery and it is not apple fashion to not mention "improved battery life".
I love all the comments about how you people will be getting the S3 why waste your time and money it will only be a few months at most before your back to apple.....
you forgot the " cha ching "
ive had iphones since the 3G, but if the UI is still the same boring design, and there are no significant changes, then its over to android for me.
im tired of being sucked into apple stuff just because its apple, its like ive been brain washed for the last 7 years
Whats the point of making a fake video today when you are only 1 day off the real thing?
No more speculations, just wait one more day.
The iPhone 5 looks like a piece of crap anyway and there are lots of negative posts about it so its not going to be that good as people first hoped for unless your a fanboy then you will want one anyway. I do like my gadgets but NOTHING in the iPhone 5 interests me. The Galaxy S3 looks very promising and heaps better than the iPhone 5 and its still selling very well and will keep selling well even after the iPhone 5 launch.
The main problem with the iPhone 5 is it runs IOS which is a sucky OS.

quality assurance. The degree to which precautionary measures have been taken to minimize data inhomogeneities varies considerably from country to country. In the United States, a fixed network of stations in the Historical Climatology Network is used (Karl et al., 1990), which largely consists of rural stations that have been adjusted when necessary for random station relocations, changes in instrument heights, systematic changes in observing times (Karl and Quinn, 1986; Karl et al., 1986), the systematic change in instruments during the mid—and late 1980s (Quayle et al., 1991), and increases in urbanization (Karl et al., 1988). The potential warm bias of the maximum introduced by the H083 series of thermometer (Gall et al., 1992) is not a factor in this network, since the H083 instrument was not used in the rural cooperative network.
In the former Soviet Union, the fixed network of 165 stations consists of rural stations (1990 populations less than 10,000 and local surroundings free of urban development). The data from the former Soviet Union have not been adjusted for any random or systematic inhomogeneities. Station histories, however, indicate that there have not been systematic changes in that network's operation over the course of the past 50 years.
In Canada, the results reported here are derived from a set of 227 rural stations (those in areas with population less than 10,000). These data were selected from a network of 373 principal stations, but a large number of urban areas and stations that relocated to airports were eliminated from the analysis.
In Alaska, a network of 39 stations was used. It included most stations that had been operating in that state since the early 1950s, with the exception of the stations in the major cities of Juneau, Fairbanks, and Anchorage. Once again no attempt was made to adjust for station relocations, and the stations consist of a mix of instrument types with some changes at specific sites.
Station histories from China do not reflect any systematic changes in instrumentation, instrument heights, instrument shelters, or observing procedures relative to the maximum and minimum temperature. Our analysis is based on a subset of the more than 150 stations available to us. No attempt was made to correct for random station relocations in the fixed network of 44 stations we finally selected from the larger network. The potential impact of urbanization precluded the use of many stations; we eliminated all stations that were in or near cities with populations over 160,000.
All stations in Australia have recently undergone a thorough homogeneity analysis (Plummer et al., 1995), but the results were not available for this analysis. Instead, stations were selected on the bases of length of record and distance from major areas of urbanization. All of the Australian stations used are in small towns or rural areas, many in post office ''back yards."
Fewer than half of the 154 stations available from Japan were used in this analysis. As with China, many stations were eliminated because of their proximity to major urban areas. An inspection of the station histories reveals a number of network "improvements" related to the automation of the temperature measurements in recent years. A full assessment of the homogeneity of the data awaits a detailed analysis. The station networks from Sudan and South Africa include some stations from urban areas, but countrywide decreases of the DTR are not overwhelmed by these stations. Incomplete information was available regarding systematic changes in instrumentation at these locations over the past several decades, but the data were inspected for station relocations and adjustments made when necessary on the basis of temperature differences from neighboring stations. In total, four stations in South Africa were adjusted using the procedures outlined by Jones et al. (1986a).
As more data become available from a variety of countries, it becomes difficult to dismiss the general decrease of the DTR over the past several decades as an artifact of data inhomogeneities. Observing networks are managed differently in each country. If local effects are significantly influencing the DTR, then at least three possible sources of change need to be explored: urbanization, irrigation, and desertification. Evidence to support or refute the impact of these human-induced local and regional effects are discussed in the subsections below.
It is well known that the urban heat island often tends to manifest itself most strongly during the nighttime hours (Landsberg, 1981). In mid-latitude North American cities the urban-rural temperature difference usually peaks shortly after sunset, then slowly decreases until shortly after sunrise, when it rapidly decreases and, for some cities, actually vanishes by midday. In many cities increases in urbanization would differentially warm the minimum relative to the maximum temperature. A number of precautions have been taken to minimize this effect.
In the contiguous United States, the corrections for urban development recommended by Karl et al. (1988) have been applied to the data, and any residual heat-island effect in this analysis should not be an issue. In Canada, only stations with population less than 10,000 were used in the analysis, and the average population of the cities in the proximity of the observing stations was slightly over 1,000. If the Canadian stations behave similarly to stations in the United States, the effect on the diurnal temperature range may be

Our Victorian Tea & Open House occurs the first Sunday of December annually. This has become a tradition with the chapter.
(1) To perpetuate the memory and spirit of the men and women who achieved American Independence by the acquisition and protection of historical spots, and the erection of monuments; by the encouragement of historical research in relationship to the Revolution and the publication of its results; by the preservation of documents and relics, and of the individual services of Revolutionary Soldiers and Patriots, and by the promotion of celebrations of all patriotic anniversaries.
(2) To carry out the injunction of Washington in his farewell address to the American people, "to promote, as an object of primary importance institutions for the general diffusion of knowledge," thus developing an enlightened public opinion, and affording to the young and old such advantages as shall develop in them the largest capacity for performing the duties of American citizens.
(3) To cherish, maintain and extend the institutions of American freedom, to foster true patriotism and love of country and to aid in securing for mankind all blessings of liberty.
Open house on dates shown on
Meetings & Events page.
Please be aware that we have moved our October meeting (due to Restoration work) to The Carnegie Center and we have CHANGED the time to 1:00 p.m. due to the fact that we had to move it to the Carnegie and they are not open at night. We did not change the date. It will be October 16 as the yearbook states. Our program is going to be honoring our Vietnam Era veterans and we have invited several and some of them will talk about their respective service. You may invite any quests as usual and especially any veterans you know. Just let Kate know if any veterans are coming as she has a little gift prepared for all veterans.
Also, we are preparing a Southern Indiana basket to raffle off. It currently has three different jams from Hubers, a beautiful handmade wooden trivet from Bob Dreher and 2 wine glasses from Simmons Winery. We need some more items made in Southern Indiana to include in the basket. I already have the basket.
We have several new prospective members to vote on so please come on October 16 at 1:00 p.m. to the Carnegie Center and join us for our October meeting.
Any questions, give me a call.

This headline is from an article in The L Magazine promoting a ladies' night in Manhattan. Hilarious, don't cha think? I mean, rape always is.
Thanks to Darcee for the link.
23 Comments
Wow. It's not often that you see such blatant, unashamed mysogeny. And this was evidently posted by a woman, in a tongue in cheek manner, as if she thought it was funny. Yeah, tell that to people who have been victims of rape, or just barely avoided being victims. I bet they find it hi-fucking-larious.
Here is the email I sent to the writer:
This headline is rather vile:
These Free Drinks Aren't Going to Date Rape Themselves!
Rape is not funny. Did you think about the fact that one in three women have been raped, and it's likely that a good portion of them were "date raped" and likely to be reading? I'm assuming that you didn't. And for that reason, I hope that you will remove the headline and issue a retraction and apology, both for the insensitivity and for contributing to a culture in which sexual violence is not taken seriously. I can only assume that this was not your goal and not a viewpoint with which you would want to be associated. Thank you in advance for your time and attention to this matter.
I tried to go with the civil thing because you know, the whole "more flies with honey" theory. Not usually one I work under, but I decided to give it a go. Her email is email@example.com, for anyone else who would like to drop her a line.
That's good, Cara. I wouldn't have been so polite.
I read it twice and kind of think she was using sarcasm. As in, it came across to me like she found "free drink" night to be loathesome as well, and pointing out its relationship to date rape.
The written word. A lost art.
Trust me, UltraMagnus, my first version wasn't. And I wouldn't exactly call this one "nice."
STP, that was not the impression that I got at all from reading the whole (rather short) post. I just tried to go back and read it again, though, and couldn't get the page to load, so I'm just going to have to go off of my original impressions (I read it more than once).
I just tried clicking the link to read the article, and I got an error message too.
Still – the headline is pretty disgusting.
Sweet Jebus, it doesn't even make any sense. This statement implies that the "free drinks" will be date raped. So this sucks on two levels!
Yeah, I went back to reread it again too, but it looks like they removed it from the site.
Kudos, if that's the case.
I do think it was dripping with sarcasm. Who promotes a night club using "date rape" to promote free drink night to women? Like women are going to read that and think, "oh, yeah, free drinks and a chance to be date raped!"
It also mentioned something about getting all these free drinks because men *love* to hear women talk, and aren't we CHATTY** when we're drunk. That part also sounded really sarcastic to me.
It was just so over-the-top, perhaps they were trying to be clever like The Onion or Jon Stewart, but failed miserably.
Don't know. It was bizarre, but if it was sarcasm, it was pretty damn heavy.
(**emphasis was theirs)
I got a response from Edith and she said that she took the post down herself. I don't know if that was a direct response to my email, or she got a lot others like it or what. But she did say that she apologizes and that she was trying to be kind of sarcastic but it clearly didn't work and turned out being offensive instead. She was pleasant and humble (though she did say that even though rape isn't inherently funny, she doesn't think that it's "off limits" . . .)
So, do we count this one as a win? I'd say that it's probably at least the most positive outcome we could have hoped for.
I think maybe she meant to say "roofie" rather than "date rape." Ugh. This is more offensive to me on an intellectual level. Stupid people should just avoid satire attempts.
I'm sure she was going for sarcastic. It's still offensive and disgusting and backfired in a big way.
Plus as MoodyStarr says it's grammatically fucked up and besides that's some pretty bad journalism right there if it didn't cross her mind exactly how it would sound *gag*
There are some things that shouldn't be joked about and date rape or rape is one of them in my opinion.
BTW Is there such a thing as a "men's night" or is it just reserved for women ? I know that here in the midwest Ladies nights are always broadcasted on the radio stations and such.
Cara: thanks for writing a letter to Edith:)
devine, there's a club in Appleton, Wisconsin where they have guys' night. Only one I've seen though.
"These free drinks aren't going to date rape themselves?" that doesn't even make sense. Kudos to Cara for writing and to edith for taking it down.
BTW Is there such a thing as a "men's night" or is it just reserved for women ? I know that here in the midwest Ladies nights are always broadcasted on the radio stations and such.
Nah. Ladies' Night is more of an advertisement to men anyway. It's a way to tell men, "Hey, there'll be lots of liquored up ladies here tonight, so pay this ridiculous cover and you may get some."
It's funny, because I find it disgusting for feminist reasons (encouraging women to drink more, encouraging guys to come for the drunk women), but when men complain about it, it's always because they want the cheap booze too. They just don't see it.
Thanks for the update, Cara. I'd def say that's a win.
As I guy, I find this offensive! It makes it sound like all guys are lurking around, looking for drunk women to rape.
Please excuse me while I go throw up…
Somewhat off topic, but I have a big problem with the term "date rape" as I think that on some level it implies culpability on the part of the victim. I vastly prefer "acquaintance rape" to describe non-stranger rape, as not all acquaintance rapes are perpetrated on dates. I remember telling my therapist I was raped and being frustrated that she repeatedly used the phrase "date rape" in spite of my emphasizing that I was not on a date at the time of the assault.
I think the term "date rape" serves the same purpose as the term "gray rape" – it implies that there are levels of rape and that being raped by someone you know isn't as bad as being raped by someone you don't. Terms like these go a long way towards diminishing how seriously sexual assault is taken.
Kitten: I've always thought the same thing. It doesn't matter whether or not you were on a date with someone, it was still rape. It sort of implies that it wasn't rape or wasn't as bad as *real* rape because after all you did go on a date with him
OT: I'm not sure how many states it is now but some guy was able to get ladies night banned in a number of states. He said it was gender discrimination and he keeps winning everywhere he goes. Makes for fasinating reading on the op-ed page of every state he pulls it off in.
I usually see acquantaince rape more than date rape nowadays, is it not just the way most people differentiate that from stranger rape?
Isn't this the publication they physically hand out for free outside the subway stations? Nobody reads it anyway.
First, thanks to Cara for the letter.
I've often wondered why there are so many terms for rape when it is still one act perpetrated by one 'usually' man against 'usually' a woman regardless of whatever type of relation they might have, be it an acquaintance or a date or what the hell ever.
I do agree that by making all these categories of rape we end up having a varying system of 'responsibility' for the act. For instance, if you ARE on a date and you get raped then there's some implied prior knowledge that the victim had of their rapist and therefore, the old 'she should've known' idea pops into mind.
Wtf is a grey rape?
Good goddess!
