Sophie Braslau (Shanewis)
Kathleen Howard (Mrs. J. Asher Everton)
Marie Sundelius (Amy Everton)

Metropolitan Opera Chorus (California society people; Oklahoma Indians, half-breeds and whites)
Premiere Date:
March 23, 1918
Producing Company:
Metropolitan Opera
Mrs. J. Asher Everton, a wealthy widow and prominent club woman of southern California, has become interested in Shanewis, a beautiful educated Indian girl of musical promise, sending her to New York for vocal training. After several years' study, Shanewis is invited by her benefactress to spend the summer in her bungalow by the sea. A few days before, Amy Everton has returned home from a long trip abroad following her graduation from Vassar and, in honor of both girls, Mrs. Everton gives a dinner dance and musicale. Shanewis, who does not dine before singing, makes her first appearance before Mrs. Everton's guests when she comes into the music room to sing.
Her initial number, "The Spring Song of the Robin Woman," a Tsimshian legend, together with the thrilling quality of her voice, her undoubted histrionic ability, and her engaging smile, create a sensation even among the older, more critical guests.
Lionel Rhodes, the childhood sweetheart and acknowledged fiance of Amy, is fascinated by the charm and novelty of Shanewis. He sees first her photograph which, he declares, recalls to his memory a beautiful face which had attracted him in Arizona two or three years before. Upon meeting her, he names her immediately "Enchantress," "The Robin Woman" who calls springtime to the heart, and he makes impetuous love to her behind a screen of palms while the guests are out on the terrace dancing. Shanewis is at first shy, but, finally, not knowing of his engagement to the daughter of her benefactress, she yields to his wooing conditionally. The condition is that he go with her to her home on the reservation to see if her family be any bar to his regard. He consents and their interview is terminated by the entrance of Amy with a young man who seeks the next dance with the Indian girl. Surprised and annoyed by their evident confusion at her interruption, Amy jealously protests to Lionel, and is not re-assured by his half-hearted efforts to propitiate her. She begins to fear that her long absence has weakened the bond between her and her lover. Throwing herself upon his breast she cries, "Ah, suppose you ceased to love me!" At this moment, the clock strikes twelve and the guests hasten in to take their departure. They congratulate Mrs. Everton and Shanewis, rallying Amy, teasingly, about her lover's interest in the Indian girl. As the guests disappear through the hall door, Shanewis switches off the music room lights and stands in the moonlight alone, dreaming of the romance which has so suddenly come to her.
The second part takes place in Oklahoma a few days later. With a plausible excuse, Shanewis has left Mrs. Everton for the reservation where Lionel has secretly followed her. They are discovered watching the closing scene of a big summer pow wow. Instead of being repelled, the gay and brilliant pageant, the mingling of traditional, of transitional and of modern Indian life appeals to his strong sense of the picturesque. He watches with lively interest the crowds about the refreshment booths, the gay blankets, the Indian mothers with babies in cradle-boards, the dancers in regalia, and the white visitors in holiday attire. The ceremonial songs, even, move him strangely, so that his impulsive love for Shanewis grows stronger in the vivid atmosphere which belongs to her. Therefore when Philip Harjo, a fanatical young Indian devoted to the old traditions, presents Shanewis with a poisoned arrow once used by a maiden of the tribe to revenge herself upon a white betrayer, he is piqued and assures Harjo that Shanewis will never have use for such a weapon.
Harjo, the foster brother of Shanewis, is an idealist who has brooded over the wrongs of his people until he has acquired a morbid hatred of the white race and resents all attempts at modern civilization. From childhood he has loved Shanewis, but as she grew older and became ambitious for musical training, he kept his passion secret, hoping she would fail to win recognition and be driven by her failure back to her tribe and his love. Her love for a white man comes like a blow to his hopes and his traditions. He is suspicious of Lionel's impulsive attachment and, throughout the pow wow he watches his chance to prove his rival faithless.
Lionel and Shanewis attract much attention especially among the white people. A Jazz Band of young people serenades them, and young high school girls hover around allured by the handsome Californian. Lionel begs Shanewis to leave early but she insists on staying to the end. When the crowd has nearly all departed, the booths have been stripped, and Shanewis has accepted the poisoned arrow from Harjo, Mrs. Everton and Amy hasten up in traveling costume. They strive to check Lionel's mad infatuation for Shanewis. He refuses absolutely to return with them and declares anew his love for Shanewis. But the Indian girl, learning for the first time of his engagement to Amy, rejects his love with scorn. She insists upon surrendering him to Amy, thus repaying her debt to Mrs. Everton. Passionately she denounces the white race and its dealings with her people. She then declares her intention of retiring from civilization to seek refuge in the forest, near to God, to recover from her wound. Recognizing the evolutionary distance between her and that other maid who sought revenge for treachery, she throws the bow and arrow far from her.
Though all the other Indians had left at the beginning of the altercation, Philip Harjo watches the scene from behind a tree. As Shanewis repulses Lionel, Harjo rushes out, snatches up the bow and arrow and shoots the young man straight in the heart. Shanewsi runs back; she and Amy kneel beside him, while Mrs. Everton frantically attempts to drag Amy from the scene. Shanewis looks upward, saying, "'Tis well. In death thou art mine!"

Added Jul 10, 2013
Warwickshire, Un...
This cute blouse has been handmade from a vintage Simplicty pattern dated to 1953.
The fabric is a soft cotton lawn with a tiny blue floral print. The construction of the blouse is as it would have been when made in the 1950's. The seams are pinked, the hem double turned & hand stitched in place, the armholes edged with self-bias & hand stitched. The buttons for this blouse are also vintage.
The blouse features double dart-tucks in the front and back, creating a fitted area over the hip and upto the waist, releasing the fabric to give that classic 50's "poufe" over the skirt waistband. Gathers from the forward shoulder seam add fullness over the bust area & the high neckline is finished with a small Peter Pan collar.
The blouse measures 23" or 58.5cm from the nape (back of neck) to the hem.
You can buy this blouse from my Etsy shop, Mercury Handmade

There's Only One Solution That Might Fix Our Corrupt Financial System
Stay up to date with the latest headlines via email.
Americans want their pound of flesh, and rightfully so. We've seen our bankers commit every kind of financial crime imaginable. They trade on insider information. They manipulate markets. They rig bets. They fix prices. They sell securities that are designed to fail so that they can bet against them. They launder money for rogue nations. They create too-big-to-fail banks that gamble with impunity knowing that we will bail them out again and again. And they collectively crashed the economy causing 8 million workers to lose their jobs.
Wouldn't it be lovely to see these financial felons doing the perp walk?
Sure, that might satisfy our desire for justice or even revenge, but it wouldn't solve our banking problem. Neither would a return of Glass-Steagall, which would separate investment banking (the gambling part) from commercial banking (where our deposits are federally insured). And neither would a properly enforced Dodd-Frank legislation that was supposedly designed to prevent the next financial crash.
None of this will work because even if vigorously enforced, our too-big-to-fail banking system will still be there, ripping us off each and every day. Worse still, even if you locked up all the CEOs and replaced them with saints selected by Ralph Nader, these giant banks would still be a clear and present danger to our economic system and to each of our jobs, if we're lucky enough to have one.
The simple truth is our giant banking system is metastasizing throughout our economy. It's sucking away our wealth, and it's out of control. No bank CEO can effectively manage the empires they now preside over. No regulator can keep up with the financial games that are played right under their noses. It's just not possible. Too-big-to-fail also means too-big-to-control.
The real dangers run even deeper. Banking is supposed serve a relatively simple, yet critical function – turning our savings into investments. It's such a simple function that most introductory economic textbooks hardly mention it at all. But this function becomes immensely complicated and dangerous when banks become casinos. Financial apologists tell us those casinos make our system run more efficiently and provide ways to disperse and reduce risk…except not on this planet.
Back in the real world, banking casinos are like any other casino. They are designed to make money from money any way they can and as fast as they can. If they can rig a bet, they do it. (That in a nutshell is what the LIBOR scandal is all about.) If they can hoodwink a client by selling damaged goods, consider it done. If they can find ways to hide bets off the books, "don't think twice, it's alright." Bending and breaking the rules is what they do. And if caught, they blame it on the guy below or the other bank across the street or the regulator who wasn't doing his job, or maybe even the poor schlep homeowner who didn't read the fine print.
Every time a bank is caught in one of these scandals (and every big bank has been caught), they point to their immaculate ethical policies that put the consumer first. They also brag about their sophisticated and rigorous risk management systems that are designed to prevent and contain the damage. Whatever happened, they claim, was a minor breach, an accident, a rogue trader, a bumbling manager or a misunderstanding. And those at the top are always insulated by plausible deniability.
But all of this dissembling is a cover for the obvious: too-big-to-fail banks are the predators and we are the prey.

Avalon Theatre
5612 Connecticut Avenue NW,
13 people favorited this theater
Showing 1 - 25 of 63 comments
was at Thursday's screening of the new Kevin Spacey documentary film with him in attendance and during the Q&A the curtains were used to conceal the screen – with light streaming up, the redness of the curtains was just beautiful – wish I had gotten a picture of that.
from Avalon email yesterday- On June 24th, the Avalon will begin the project to install elevator access to Avalon 2 as the final project funded by the Avalon Legacy Campaign. In addition, the downstairs and upstairs lobby areas of theater 2 will be renovated, and new, fully accessible bathrooms will replace the existing restrooms.
saw 'Renoir' on screen 1 last night via the new Christie DLP digital projector and it both looked and sounded fantastic. Great brightness, color and the lossless audio complimented and brought out the best of what digital projection can do with a film that is actually shot in 35mm. Technical note: screen one's projector is upgradable to playback 4K DCP's and supposedly set up to also feature 7.1 audio (although I wasn't able to hear 'Star Trek: Into Darkness' which did play on screen 1, but was bumped to screen 2 for this week). Screen 2 projector is also a Christie projector; a Solaria One to be exact.
on April 28th, the Avalon Double Anniversary Celebration is occurring with the screening of 'Side by Side' followed by a post film Q&A with the Washington Post's Ann Hornaday (and others) to support the theaters transition to digital projection.
holy batman! The presentation of 'The Dark Knight Rises' really demonstrated the loudness levels the speakers could handle here at the Avalon – even though the Dolby Digital 5.1 is not lossless audio when compared to sound from digital projection – the bass was powerful and relentless.
as I recall I think the Swedish version only played at E Street, I could be wrong though. Fincher's version though really has a great 5.1 soundmix and the 5K photography transferred to 35mm looked equally impressive. Interesting to note that the presentation of Aki Kaurismaki's 'Le Havre' (one of favorite films of this year) is digital – which is odd since E Street's projected 35mm, I'd be very curious to compare the two since the film in 'film form' has striking bold 'technicolor' look to it.
Enjoyed the new "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" at the Avalon on Wednesday. The surround system is excellent! Was the Swedish version of the movie shown here?
I saw HUGO in marvelous 2D and could not see why it was even in 3D. Only 2 scenes in the whole movie that I saw would have needed to be seen in 3D if at all. 3D movies are so overrated. I am glad that my local twin does not have 3d capability. I remember 3D in the 50's and 70's when you didn't have to pay extra. What a ripoff.
the train wreck scene in 'Super 8' sounded amazing on the Avalon's soundsystem – now if that had been 7.1 lossless digital sound it would have torn a hole in the walls
Great surround sound is important! And, yes, I'd hope for 4k rather than 2k for the main auditorium.
speaking of 'The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo' Landmark's website is advertising for it's DC theaters that the film will be opening down at the Lincoln Theater (!?!) next Wednesday: "whAAAAt?!"
the only 'War Horse' DC engagement I see so far is over at Landmark Bethesda. I already saw 'Hugo' (in 3D and in 7.1 surround sound) anyway, so it's a moot point for me. The Avalon doesn't need 3D conversion but it'd be nice if they get a 4K DLP / 7.1 system to really push it toward's state of the art status.
Giles, many people including myself aren't bothering with 3D. As I will be in DC for a few days, I'm looking forward to seeing "The Girl with the Dragon Tatoo" at the historic Avalon. Interesting enough, "The Girl" will also be at Baltimore's Senator. AMC's website indicates the new "Mission Impossible" will be at the Uptown. I didn't see "War Horse" yet online in DC, but since it is listed that it will be at the Ziegfeld….
interesting to see the theatre desperately advertising 'Hugo' on it's webpage as "Projected in glorious 35mm 2D" – obviously since Scorsese shot it in 3D. 35mm 2D might seem as a letdown. Shame that the Avalon was supposed to get both 'The Descendants' and 'War Horse' but didn't – at least they successfully booked 'The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo'
they are also weighing in the cost/budget for the eventual digital conversion of both screens – sad but true, 35mm is on it's last legs – and for one studio 2012 is the last year they will strike movies in film (35mm) print form
Beautiful theatre, so good to see it is being taken care of and loved by the people of Washington DC. Maybe they will even fix the curtain.
Dear Friend of the Avalon,
We are writing to share two exciting announcements:
• The Avalon Legacy Campaign has reached $1.8 million!
• The Give Us a Lift initiative to fund the elevator project has been completed!
We are hopeful that we can complete the elevator project in 2012. This will be an exciting and challenging process and we will keep you informed as progress is made.
The next focus of our fundraising efforts will be the funding of new HVAC systems. The current system is a high maintenance, low energy efficiency unit that is operating well past its useful life. An upgrade is an essential infrastructure improvement and cost-saving opportunity for the theater.
The list below shows what we have already accomplished and the work that lies ahead:
• Completed- Jun 2008! Reduced the building mortgage by $200,000
• Completed- Apr 2009! Built out and opened the Avalon Theatre Café
• Completed- Oct 2009! Repaired the crumbling vault space and Café sidewalk
• Completed- Nov 2009! Replaced the building's electrical infrastructure
• Completed- Sep 2010! Restored the Avalon 1 ceiling
• To do: Install an elevator to Avalon 2 â€" funding obtained
• To do: Install an enhanced lighting system in Avalon 1
• To do: Upgrade to energy efficient heating and cooling systems
• To do: Reduce the building mortgage by an additional $350,000
We are $200,000 away from the $2.0 million goal and we are hopeful that we can reach that goal in 2012, the 90th anniversary of the building of the Avalon!
There is another piece of great news! Stone Soup Films recently produced a promotional film for the Avalon. I invite you to view it at: theavalon.org/about. I hope you will agree that this is a wonderful marketing tool as we carry on with the Campaign.
We are so grateful for your interest in and support of the Avalon. If you would like to learn more about the Campaign or make a donation, click on the links below.
See you at the Avalon!
Bill Oberdorfer, Executive Director
Sarah Pokempner, Campaign Manager
saw 'The Social Network' last night and the repainted ceiling and mural look fantastic!!
An article about the experience of going to the theater: View link
special martini drinks are on sale at the concession/bar in with the theme of 'Sex and the City 2'
on a different topic, the restored 'Metropolis' will be shown a week starting July 9th – woohoo!!
in a selfish move on AMC's part (and to undermine the Avalon) they booked 'Sex and the City 2' at both the Uptown and Mazza – my money is going to the non-profit Avalon – not the corporate leech.
Good photo Chuck1231.
as I found out from the Executive Director the peeling paint issue is from improper priming of the ceiling surface, thankfully not from roof issues, but it's estimated that it's a $30,000 repair job.
I was at the Avalon last Saturday night for a film at the annual FilmFest DC International Film Festival and it was great to see the side store (formerly a Ben & Jerry's) now the concession stand and another bathroom, but… they didn't make it handicap accessible, which I thought was very odd, since I know they want to add an elevator to screen 2 for that reason. Secondly, the ceiling paint job is getting worse, when the side beam lights illuminate it, it's highly embarrassing, more paint is chipping at an alarming rate and there appears to be a hole in the border rim. This might be to entice people to donate to the Avalon Legacy Campaign which I hope address' the ceiling/roof problem, but at the moment it's painful to see the ceiling becoming worse than better

Yes, I'm still around. Completely bed ridden, or shall I say couch ridden? Thanks to Jay. He wont let me go or do anything without assistance. *Frowns and looks at the pillows around him* I feel like a sardine!*Smiles* Love you Jay.
Hmm..I came home late last night. Things are actually going pretty good. Mm..just feel so...helpless. I mean, Jay's here and all..but I don't like the fact that I can't do much without assistance. Aye.This year is gonna be a long one.
These days go by to quickly...could someone please make today; an extended day?
Have any of you ever given any thoughts to the things that scare you? I mean really scare you. For a little under a month now, I've been living out my fear. Prayers and good thoughts no longer seemed to work, pure fear just settles in to your bones. It chills your blood and sends electric shivers through your soul.As most of you know, my neck has been in bad shape for a while now. It's gotten to the point where surgery is the only way to go.The whole getting sliced open thing, does bother me. I guess that's what's got my mind working on over time. Heh. Forcing to many thoughts of going in and not coming back out in there.There is though...one thing that's kept me strong through it all. I'm not sure he even knows how much better he makes me feel by just being there. He doesn't have to say a single word...just his presence in my life..in my world...before me...give's me hope.I love you baby, with you by my side I just know the time will quickly pass...and everything will be fine.
A funny thing love is. It can be a beautiful thing in one hand, while in the other it can be downright confusing.I got another phone call from Lana today, she somehow overheard about Jay and I. Quite ironically she congratulated me and wished us both a life of luck and love. Mmm...to say that's a bit confusing, would be a small understatement.heh, new icon. Isn't he adorable. *grins*I've been doing some thinking, and if you all still want to see our perfect Valentines night I'm gonna do a post about it in the Sex Story community *winks* (And please get your minds out of the gutter.)
I have never been as nervous as I was last night. At time's I really thought my heart was literally going to beat right out of my chest. *Smiles* The whole night turned out perfect, just as I had planned..right down to the final T. Jason and I; are very happily engaged. *grins* I'll write some more, perhaps of how I proposed once I can come down a bit from this high. .....which might take quite a good bit of time
Okay...just one day. Mrm..and the nerves are going haywire. I don't have to much to say. Just...I've got some new icon's...and Jay..I love you.*Grins* Oh and one final thing, Jay...do you like this icon?
Anyone have a cure to help put to rest a mountain of butterfly's?
Trish, I need to talk to you about a few things. IM me or something, please? *Smiles*
I sit here night after night trying not to get in the middle of this, for as Shannon has proclaimed ... its non of your business so BUTT out. Oddly enough he was the one to IM me last night and ask if I'd want to know the true story. Well, my friend, I do believe I know most of it already. For I did have a long chat with Ms McMahon about it. Though, right now she'll probably say she didn't tell me everything. But alas something's you can just figure out on your own.Considering what I HAVE been told though, I still say that you can't and shouldn't jump all over Matt because he just disagrees that the child isn't his. Frankly from what I've been told; he's got every right to disagree and or challenge it. Any man would do the same in his position.Oy, very much confusion. But alas, there's still some happiness beyond all of this.*Grins* Just have to think...
Stephanie, I don't know where your heading with this little..This is all Matts fault problem. If I remember correctly, that's not exactly what we talked about. If memory serves me right...there we're other people involved. Regardless to whether he's the father or not, everyone involved had some fault. Jay, do you remember what we talked about that night? About the trust thing? That's just been confirmed, trust value is nothing.
Yeah, I'm begining to wonder why I even try. AIM clearly hates me tonight, so if anyone needs me I'll be on my MSN email@example.com
I've sat here and watched things just unravel. It's like watching one of those old good guy/bad guy tapes. Just seems to get worse by the moment. Maybe it's time we all learn to stop keeping our feelings inside and just let them out when they need/should be. Not everything is as bad as it seems to be...Just take Jay and I. We were both afraid to say anything to one another; afraid the other would laugh or simply turn their back and leave. Yeah, we were both acting pretty silly, but we've overcome that. The outcome..wasn't anywhere near what we had envisioned. And now, now I look back upon the years, months...days and wonder why it had taken me that long to express my feelings...my desires.Yeah, so maybe we're not talking about love outside of my story. However I'm hoping you catch the meaning behind it..Someone remind me why things have to be so completely confusing? Oy, things don't change do they?If anyone need's me, I'll be around..the cell will be on. Use it if need be.
It's rather odd you know? How things just seem to get better just by hearing a group of words placed together. I just hope it wasn't a dream...certainly felt like one...
I'd have to agree with Jay when he say's how odd it is that a tragedy gets you to think and really open your eyes to the world. I've sat here most of today just watching the news, and praying that NASA over looked something and that just maybe the missing crew was alive. Alas..that had not been the case...my thought and prayer's are with the family and friends of the crew members on that shuttle. Early summer of last year, I married my girlfriend. The person I had thought; was the One. Yeah, my one true love. It's quite ironic how love tends to blind you to the very smallest things of a person. For within the first three months that we'd been married...at any time I was home; I slept on the couch, we basically avioded one another at all costs. *Smirk* Nice marriage huh? By the fourth month, we had called it quits. Neither of us were actually prepared for a life with one another in it.Frankly we just weren't right for one another. Maybe we were to be together, but not forever. Does that make any sense? Or have I resulted to rambling again? I seem to do that a lot...Now back to why I'm the natural idiot. Last week, Lana called me; with news. News I'd rather not get into, because it was nothing but a damn lie to get me to come back to her in the first place. Which, like an idiot, I did.They say love makes you do stupid things, be damned if I don't now believe in that.
You know; if I'd had half a brain...I'd seriously be dangerous.
With Amy's help; I now have AIM. However I can't remember the Password she gave me. Amy when you come on, post something; or something. Heh, my luck there's probably no one online this early.EDIT::Nevermind, I figured it out and I'm now online.A Copeland RR
Alright, I am completly confused. I just went to get an AIM screen name, but for some reason it's not letting me. Apparently I have to download AIM before I can. Does anyone know how to make a screen name even though you already have the messanger downloaded?
Mmm..I'm still quite roaming around. Guess you could say I've been a restless soul as of late. I do know one thing..I've got to start coming around more often. So much has changed since I've gotten my journal.To sum it up...How's everyone been?Shane, sorry I'm a bit late with the Birthday wish's, I do hope you've had a good birthday.
No; I haven't forgotten about this place. I've just been pretty busy, with New Year's Parties, getting the house...then sleeping off a major hangover. But now I'm back, and I see there's a T or D group as well as a Sex Stories group here...very very interesting.Well, I guess you can say..you've just been updated. Didn't have as much to say as I thought I had.

Kenny Chesney Was Afraid To Be In A Christmas School Play
December 10, 2012 10:14 AM
Kenny Chesney isn't afraid to admit that he was scared to be in his school's Christmas play: "I think one time I held the star, you know, and did it behind them. You know, I didn't…never did show my face. I was holding the star going through the night. That's all I did. I remember doing that one year. But all my other buddies was Joseph and Mary and all that stuff. I never did, really, get out on stage that much. Never really did sing in the Christmas play and…no, I was pretty scared to get up there then!" (laughs)

The Kubik Site (34KA354) in Kay County, Oklahoma, is a relatively undisturbed campsite occupied by Archaic foragers that used distinctive basally-notched Calf Creek-style points. Discovered in 1992, the deeply buried site is on a low terrace of a permanent creek in the Flint Hills area of north-central Oklahoma. Outcrops of high-quality Florence chert used for stone tools are found less than one-half mile from the site and most likely influenced the selection of this camping location.
Test excavations at the Kubik Site over several seasons exposed faunal remains, stone tools, and some charcoal fragments. Occupational depths of the Calf Creek materials ranged from about four to six feet below the ground surface. These recovered faunal and floral remains provide clues about a hunting-and-gathering group with a diet of bison, deer, nuts, and possibly wild onions. Charred wood samples and a charred black walnut husk, recovered from the levels most likely associated with the Calf Creek-style tools, also provided environmental information and six radiocarbon dates. The radiocarbon results indicate an occupation of this site between about 5,000 and 5,800 years ago or roughly 3000 to 3850 B.C.
Prior to the testing of the Kubik Site, Calf Creek sites were primarily represented by surface collections of stone tools. Very little was known about the people's subsistence practices. Radiocarbon dating and preserved faunal and floral remains were also limited to only a few sites. The excavations at the Kubik Site have increased archaeologists' understanding of this group of prehistoric foragers, more accurately placing them in time and providing information about environmental conditions and diet.

Three more stops along University Avenue in St. Paul set for Central Corridor light rail
St. Paul has achieved its goal of getting three more stations built on the Central Corridor light rail line.
Mayor Chris Coleman was joined today by U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood to announce that the three new stops will be at Western, Victoria and Hamline avenues.
It had been a sore point for many in the city that the light rail line connecting the Minneapolis and St. Paul downtowns was going to run through the heart of the University Avenue business corridor, with all the disruptions of construction and loss of parking, but only stop at one-mile intervals at Snelling Avenue, Lexington Parkway, and Dale and Rice streets.
The three new stations will make it easier to get to businesses and destinations in the city's hurting Frogtown neighborhood, although it will also add a bit more time to the cross-town trip.

Recently by Justin Raimondo: Adelson, Gingrich, and the Selling of America
There's always a Looming Danger, an Ominous Threat lurking somewhere — that's the War Party's bread-and-butter. Back in the day, it was the Germans, who were going to cross the Atlantic and meet their Japanese allies somewhere near the Mississippi. Then it was the Commies, who were not only in the process of swallowing Asia but supposedly had their Fifth Column right here in the US, ready willing and able to take the Capitol at a signal from the Kremlin. After that there was some hesitation in deciding just who or what would take the place of the Red Threat, but that was decided on September 11, 2001, when Osama bin Laden's Global Caliphate emerged as the Bogeyman of the moment. It turned into quite a long moment, as we have seen, one that still lingers to this day, even after bin Laden's death and the crushing of al-Qaeda: Americans, being sentimentalists, hang on to their villains long after their shelf life has expired.
That's because these dark eminences are alluring, in their way: the narratives we construct tell us a story we can be proud of, a tale of derring-do in which the American people are made of Heroic Stuff, holding aloft the Torch of Freedom lest it be extinguished by rampaging hordes of Orcs, sacrificing their pelf, their liberty — and, often, their lives — in the name of Saving the World.
The Threat has great value to our rulers: they cling to this narrative because it justifies their power, and their insatiable desire for more. President Barack Obama started out his recent state of the union address by invoking the Threat and holding up the military's response to it as a shining example:
u201CThese achievements are a testament to the courage, selflessness, and teamwork of America's armed forces. At a time when too many of our institutions have let us down, they exceed all expectations. They're not consumed with personal ambition. They don't obsess over their differences. They focus on the mission at hand. They work together. Imagine what we could accomplish if we followed their example.u201D
Yes, just imagine if civil society was organized along military lines, with all of us taking orders from our commander-in-chief — what a glorious time it would be!
Our rulers invoke these militaristic metaphors as exhortations to get us in line: we hear much about u201Cunity,u201D u201Cunselfishness,u201D glorification of u201Cthe missionu201D (whose mission?). These are the bromides uttered by tyrants and would-be tyrants, who would love to turn society into a civilian army. Their vision of the future is of a collective marching in lockstep down the road to whatever hellish fate they have in store for us.
These days, however, they are having a harder time convincing us of the reality of the Threat. This is true for a number of reasons, but the main source of our skepticism is the overwhelming certainty that the Threat is coming not from without but from within. No, not in the presence of those Mooslims, in spite of the Israel Lobby's best efforts: no, not from the long-gone Commie Conspiracy or the u201Cmilitiasu201D that were the favored bogeyman of the Clinton era. Instead, the Threat springs from something deeper, a force connected to the way our society works and has been working since the inauguration of the modern era: it is the looming threat of national bankruptcy.

About Myoclonus
Myoclonus, an involuntary jerking of the muscles, is often a symptom of a nervous system disorder but it can also result from other health problems or injuries. Causes include:
- Multiple sclerosis
- Parkinson's disease
- Alzheimer's disease
- Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease
- Epilepsy
- Infection
- Head or spinal cord injury
- Stroke
- Brain tumors
- Kidney or liver failure
- Chemical or drug poisoning
- Hypoxia (prolonged oxygen deprivation to the brain)
People with myoclonus experience sudden, brief, involuntary movements or jerks in one or several parts of the body; these movements cannot be suppressed. The jerks result from muscle contractions (positive myoclonus) or the sudden loss of muscle contractions, called inhibitions (or negative myoclonus). Stimuli such as sudden sounds, light, visual threats, or movements can trigger the jerks.
Diagnosis of Myoclonus
Neurologists at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital have considerable experience determining the cause of myoclonus and finding the most effective treatment for each patient. Our neurology and neurosurgery departments consistently rank among the top five in the nation in US News and World Report, and number one in New York City.
Medical Treatment for Myoclonus
Treatment for myoclonus starts with finding and treating the underlying cause. Various medications can reduce or eliminate myoclonic jerks. Doctors often treat myoclonus with one or more of the following drugs: clonazepam, a type of tranquilizer; sodium valproate, an anticonvulsant; and levetiracetam, an anticonvulsant.
If the jerking movement is localized to just one part of the body, neurologists can also treat myclonus with botulinum toxin injection therapy, which can relax the muscles for several months, allowing patients to maintain more normal posture and movement.
Surgical Treatment for Myoclonus
If a patient's myoclonus is caused by a tumor on the spine or brain, neurosurgeons may be able to alleviate symptoms by removing the tumor.
Research for Myoclonus
Researchers at Columbia's Center for Parkinson's Disease and Other Movement Disorders are conducting studies to find the most effective ways to improve the care and management of people with myoclonus.

The first vinyl presentation of John Olson's primitive basement techno unit, Henry and Hazel Slaughter's "Endless Power Cycle" is 49 minutes of raw and crude rhythm-scaping noise-dub. Live mixer manipulations and beats of degradation from the Wolf Eyes and American Tapes founder. It's about the roots here. The roots of solo sound experimentation in late night patch cable entanglements. The roots of South-Eastern Michigan musicians exploring electronics, which diverges into the distinct worlds of Detroit techno and circuit-bending outsider noise, brought back together here by this true home-state hero.
Limited to 250 records on bright yellow vinyl and packaged in screened and stamped jackets. $18 ppd (US)

Valentines Workout with Your Honey
Valentine's Day is almost here. Who doesn't love eating chocolates and going out to a nice dinner? And let's not forget the more….ummmm…..private ways of celebrating Valentine's Day!
Well there is another way of celebrating Valentine's Day that will make you feel less guilty about the chocolates and dinner and simultaneously improve the more private celebration that happens later on. I'm talking about a Valentine's Day workout!
Here's a great way to workout with your honey on Valentine's Day just like we do in Boot Camp. It's called "partner density training". Here are 3 great partner fat loss circuits that you could do with your significant other. These workout protocols are known as "partner density training" and are one of the many we use in boot camp to burn a ton of fat and calories with a partner. Here's how it works.
Each circuit has 2 exercises. You will perform 10 reps of the first exercise and your partner has to do the other exercise for however long it takes you to finish the first. Once you have finished your 10 reps your partner is done as well and you switch.
The goal is to get as many rounds done as you can in 5 minutes. Here are the three circuits.
Circuit #1
-Bounds x 10 reps
- Sit Ups
Circuit #2
- Push-ups x 10 reps
- Burpees
Circuit #3
- Jump Lunges x 10 each leg
- Wall Squat
The exercises themselves are pretty basic compared to what we normally do in Boot Camp but it's a great bodyweight version that you can do at home.
If you like this circuit let me know.
This is a great way to challenge one another and have fun. A family that works out together stays together.

Although, I didn't really know what all went into it, I dreamed of owning a gym and knew that I wanted to help people out. I consider myself very lucky to be able to take advantage of the opportunities that have existed in my life. I received a degree in Exercise Physiology and a minor in Marketing at UL, both of which were very helpful in getting me where I am today.
I have 10 years experience as a Personal Trainer. I have nationally accredited certifications through NSCA-CSCS and ACE. In 2003 I met Cary Cox and he already had the same visions that I did. We didn't want people sitting around reading magazines on machines. Our past experience from the big box gyms helped us realize we wanted something different. We were looking for real results in a private atmosphere where intimidation doesn't exist. ProFormance Fitness has grown from the original facility three times. The latest addition added another 5000 sq/ft to keep up with demand. We are fortunate to have amazing trainers and lots of energetic clients.

The Existence of Indonesian Tiger
Indonesia is an archipelago country which has so many beautiful cultures and animals within the country. One of the most magnificent animals which have been protected today in Indonesia is the Tiger. Indonesian tiger can be considered as one of the best animal which is protected today. It is because the population of Indonesia tiger has decreased day by day. A long time ago, tiger can be found in Bali, Java Island, and Sumatra, but today, the population of tiger in Bali and Java Island has been considered as the extinct animal, it is completely extinct, and the last tiger population that can be found is in Sumatra. Moreover, the population of tiger in Sumatra is not more than 400 tigers.
Sumatra tiger is usually called as the Panthera tigress Sumatrae. It is the origin animal from Indonesia where the UNESCO has considered this animal into the category of animal which must be protected in this world. The Sumatra Indonesia tiger today can be considered as the animal which is going to be extinct. For Sumatra people, everything about Indonesia tiger is something which must be respected. Tiger in Indonesia, for almost all people, especially in Sumatra, has been considered as the honorable animal, some of them called this animal using the honorable name, such as Datuk, in West Sumatra.

Practicing what we preach
Posted by Kyle Ashinhurst on December 17, 2012 @ 10:00 am in Personal finance
Anybody can give good advice. But taking the advice we give to others? That's sometimes easier said than done.
For example, I could probably write the definitive guide to diet and exercise. It would be informative and inspiring, full of simple, fool-proof tips on how to eat better and live healthier. It might even sell millions of copies … as long as the publisher didn't put my photo on the cover.
As a Vanguard crew member, I'd like to think I'm better at "practicing what I preach" when it comes to money. My wife and I do our best to spend less than we earn, save and invest diligently, keep debts under control, pay attention to expenses, and stay focused on long-term goals.
One year ago, all of that got a little complicated.
The birth of our first child heralded a multitude of financial challenges. We had less money coming in, and more going out. So, in true Vanguard style, we slashed our discretionary spending—much less dining out; goodbye premium cable channels; sayonara to a vacation in Japan. I even sold my car and started carpooling. So far, I'm pleased to say the results have been good, and we haven't lost too much sleep over our finances. (Late-night diaper changes are another matter.)
But there's one area where I've refused to pinch pennies.
Just a few days after our baby arrived, I logged onto vanguard.com and set up a 529 college savings account in her name. Long before she was sitting up and crawling, our daughter had a college fund. Every two weeks, part of my paycheck goes into that account … before Daddy and Mommy have a chance to even think about spending it.
At the same time, of course, we're still putting aside money for our own retirements. In fact, in a funny way, I find it touching to look at my Vanguard portfolio statements and see those accounts listed side by side—our retirement savings and our daughter's college fund. Each account represents a hope for the future, a commitment to responsible money management, and, ultimately, a vote of confidence that the financial markets will do what they're supposed to do over the long run.
I may not be much of a role model when it comes to staying in shape, but I can teach my little girl about responsibility and self-control when it comes to money. And that's not a bad lesson to learn.
Notes: All investing is subject to risk, including the possible loss of the money you invest. For more information about any 529 college savings plan, contact the plan provider to obtain a program description, which includes investment objectives, risks, charges, expenses, and other information; read and consider it carefully before investing. If you are not a taxpayer of the state offering the plan, consider before investing whether your or the designated beneficiary's home state offers any state tax or other benefits that are only available for investments in such state's qualified tuition program. Vanguard Marketing Corporation serves as distributor and underwriter for some 529 plans.

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

John Howard Lawson
John Howard Lawson was born in New York on 25th September, 1894. After studying at Williams College (1910-14) he became a successful writer with plays such as Standards (1916) and Servant-Master-Lover (1916).
When America entered the First World War in 1917 he became an ambulance driver with the Red Cross in Europe. While on the Western Front he became friends with another driver, John Dos Passos.
After the war he edited a newspaper in Rome. Lawson returned to the United States where he began writing plays. Although these often expressed Marxist ideas, some made it to Broadway. Plays performed in New York City included Roger Bloomer (1923), Processional (1925), Loud Speaker (1927) and The International (1927).
In 1928 Lawson moved to Hollywood where he wrote scripts for films such as The Ship for Shanghai (1930), Bachelor Apartment (1931) and Goodbye Love (1933). In 1933 Lawson joined with Lester Cole and Samuel Ornitz to establish the Screen Writers and Authors Guild and was the organization's first president.
Lawson, who joined the American Communist Party in 1934, made several films that were were political, including Blockade (1938), the Academy Award winning film on the Spanish Civil War and Counter-Attack (1945), a tribute to the Soviet-USA alliance during the Second World War.
After the Second World War the House of Un-American Activities Committee began an investigation into the Hollywood Motion Picture Industry. In September 1947, the HUAC interviewed 41 people who were working in Hollywood. These people attended voluntarily and became known as "friendly witnesses". During their interviews they named several people who they accused of holding left-wing views.
Lawson appeared before the HUAC on 29th October, 1947, but like Alvah Bessie, Herbert Biberman, Albert Maltz, Adrian Scott, Dalton Trumbo, Lester Cole, Edward Dmytryk, Samuel Ornitz and Ring Lardner Jr, he refused to answer any questions. Known as the Hollywood Ten, they claimed that the 1st Amendment of the United States Constitution gave them the right to do this. The House of Un-American Activities Committee and the courts during appeals disagreed and all were found guilty of contempt of Congress and Lawson was sentenced to twelve months in Ashland Federal Correctional Institution and fined $1,000.
Blacklisted by the Hollywood studios, Lawson moved to Mexico where he began writing Marxist interpretation of drama and film-making such as The Hidden Heritage (1950), Film in the Battle of Ideas (1953) and Film: The Creative Process (1964).
John Howard Lawson died in San Francisco on 14th August, 1977.
Primary Sources
(1) Edward Dmytryk, interviewed by the House of Un-American Activities Committee (25th April, 1951)
John Howard Lawson settled all questions. If there was a switch in the Party line, he explained it. If there were any decisions to be made, they went to John Howard Lawson. If there was any conflict within the Communist Party, he was the one who settled it. We had a third meeting at which Adrian Scott brought Albert Maltz, who was a more liberal Communist, to defend us. These meetings ended in a stalemate.
Albert Maltz had been concerned about the lack of freedom of thought in the Communist Party for some time, and this was the trigger for the article he wrote for the New Masses on freedom of thought which was so widely discussed. So he wrote the article which he later had to repudiate or get out of the Party, and he chose to repudiate it.

CrossFIRED!Paul, · Categories: Amusements, General, News of News, Virtual Communities
Bye to bow-tied twits and to Crossfire as we knew and hated it. Thanks to Jon Stewart.
Mr. Klein specifically cited the criticism that the comedian Jon Stewart leveled at "Crossfire" when he was a guest on the program during the presidential campaign. Mr. Stewart said that ranting partisan political shows on cable were "hurting America."
Mr. Klein said last night, "I agree wholeheartedly with Jon Stewart's overall premise." He said he believed that especially after the terror attacks on 9/11, viewers are interested in information, not opinion.
The official CNN story on the CNN story here.
Transcript of the Jon Stewart appearance on Crossfire here.
Not that I ever express opinions here ;->
4 Responses to "CrossFIRED!"
Tucker Carlson Axed
A couple of months ago, The Daily Show's Jon Stewart lambasted nut-job pundit Tucker Carlson on Crossfire, using that forum to blast its own genre. Now, although they're being very courteous about the whole thing, CNN has figured out what a panty was…
Sadly, the word on the street is that he's moving to MSNBC. I want to know how in the hell Tucker Carlson got to be such a hot media commodity that there's a bidding war over that bow-tie wearing assclown. Not that MSNBC would ever try to outfox Faux News…
Tucker is an old friend – he, future fabulist Stephen Glass, and I were office suite mates for a while (remind me to tell you that story sometime) – but even I grew to dislike his Crossfire/TV persona. Perhaps a different type of show will give Tucker a chance to return to a more constructive approch (he was a good, thorough magazine writer). Guess we'll see.
I sense a trend devloping here. First the Bush administration gets spanked by the UN for being stingy and suddenly US tsunami aid increases over 200%. Then CNN gets spanked by Jon Stewart and suddenly Tucker leaves and they decide that they don't want to be Fox after all. What's next? Linus Torvalds calls Bill Gates a fascist and suddenly Microsoft announces that they're opening their source?

The job is getting hard for me (not to mention it gets really intense once football season starts) So I put my notice in that I am done the week before football starts. I'll be 34 weeks
Also we are also moving around the time I am 35 weeks. This way I have time to pack and unpack everything before she gets here.
I'm self employed, so I will be working right up until I go into labor, and if last time is any indicator, I will work while I am in labor, while I am in the hospital and once I get home.
My job is not physically demanding- total desk job. But when you work for yourself and have clients relying on you there is no such thing as maternity leave!!
I am 37 weeks today and still working full-time standing all day. I sit when I can, but don't really have much time to relax all day. I'm still feeling pretty good so far, I get moments of exhaustion from time to time. If I keep steadily busy, I don't have time to think about it. I'll stop working when my body tells me to. It makes me proud of myself to keep working and growing baby. I feel like nothing is going to stop me!! I think I was reading on this site today that some time off is actually a good idea if you need down time before baby gets here--if it's your first (it's mine) it may be the last chance you get to chill and relax. It also gives you a chance to prepare for labor. So, you decide what works for you and your body.
I am planning on working as long as I can. I have had a pretty uneventful pregnancy thus far and am hoping that it continues that way til close to the end.
I work in an office and I work with my DH and our office is across from the hospital. So I am hoping to work as long as I can. So far I am doing ok. I do find myself having to sit back and not scrunch in my chair so much. I am also going to rearrange my office a little so my computer is situated differently and I can sit back and work a little better.
