Dr. Georg Groddeck is mentioned in Gary Renard's book, The Disappearance of the Universe, on pages 22-23 and 305.
Groddeck discovered the ego, as described in A Course in Miracles. He refers to the ego as the "It."
Georg Groddeck (1866-1934)
by Lawrence Durrell
Excerpts selected by Andrew LeCompte from an essay by Lawrence Durrell that appeared in Horizon magazine (London), Vol. XVII No. 102, June, 1948.
For Groddeck the whole psyche with its inevitable dualisms seemed merely a function of something else—an unknown quantity—which he chose to discuss under the name of the "It." "The sum total of an individual human being," he says, "physical, mental, and spiritual, the organism with all its forces, the microcosmos, the universe which is a man, I conceive of as a self unknown and forever unknowable, and I call this the 'It' as the most indefinite term available without either emotional or intellectual associations."
For Freud, as indeed for the age and civilization of which he was both representative and part, the ego [conscious mind] is supreme. There it lies, like an iron-shod box whose compartments are waiting to be arranged and packed with the terminologies of psychoanalysis. But to Groddeck the ego [conscious mind] appeared as a contemptible mask fathered on us by the [It], which, by imposing upon the human being, persuaded him that he was motivated by forces within the control of his conscious mind.
Yet, asks Groddeck, what decides how the food which passes into the stomach is subdivided? What persuaded the original germ to divide and subdivide itself and to form objects as dissimilar as brain cortex, muscle, or mucus? This fundamental divergence of view concerning the nature of health and disease, the nature of the psyche's role, is something which must be grasped at the outset if we are to interpret Groddeck to ourselves with any accuracy.
Man, then, is himself a function of this mysterious force which expresses itself through him, through his illness no less than his health. To Groddeck the psychoanalytic equipment was merely a lens by which one might see a little more deeply than heretofore into the mystery of the human being as an It-self. Over the theory of psychoanalysis, as he used it, therefore, stood the metaphysical principle which expressed itself through man's behavior, through his size, shape, beliefs, wants. And Groddeck set himself up as a watchman, and where possible, as an interpreter of this mysterious force. The causes of sickness or health he decided were unknown; he had already remarked in the course of his long clinical practice that quite often the same disease was overcome by different treatments, and had been finally led to believe that disease as an entity did not exist, except inasmuch as it was an expression of a man's total personality, his It, expressing itself through him. Disease was a form of self-expression.
"However unlikely it may seem, it is nevertheless a fact that any sort of treatment, scientific or old-wife's poultice, may turn out to be right for the patient, since the outcome of medical or other treatment is not determined by the means prescribed but by what the patient's It likes to make of the prescription. If this were not the case, then every broken limb which had been properly set and bandaged would be bound to heal, whereas every surgeon knows of obstinate cases which despite all care and attention defy his efforts and refuse to heal.
"Since everything has at least two sides, however, it can always be considered from two points of view, and so it is my custom to ask a patient who has slipped and broken his arm: 'What was your idea in breaking your arm?' whereas if anyone is reported to have had recourse to morphia to get sleep the night before, I ask him: 'How was it the idea of morphine became so important yesterday that you made yourself sleepless, in order to have an excuse for taking it?' So far I have never failed to get a useful reply to such questions, and there is nothing extraordinary about that, for if we take the trouble to make the search we can always find an inward and an outward cause for any event in life."
In The Book of the It, which is cast in the form of letters to a friend, he discusses the whole problem of health and disease from a metaphysical point of view, and with an ironic refusal to dogmatize or tidy his views into a system. But the book itself, brimming over with gay irony and poetry, does succeed in circumscribing this territory of experience with remarkable fidelity; and from it Groddeck emerges not only as a great doctor but also as a philosopher whose It concept is positively ancient Greek in its clarity and depth.
For the patient, Groddeck sought to interpret, through the vagaries of outward symptom and clinical manifestation, the hidden language of the It. "I do maintain," he writes, "that man creates his own illnesses for a definite purpose, using the outer world merely as an instrument, finding there an inexhaustible supply of material which he can use for this purpose, today a piece of orange peel, tomorrow the spirochete of syphilis, the day after, a draft of cold air, or anything else that will help him pile up his woes. And always to gain pleasure, no matter how unlikely that may seem, for every human being experiences something of pleasure in suffering; every human being has the feeling of guilt and tries to get rid of it by self-punishment."
To Groddeck plainly the ego [conscious mind] is only a reflexive instrument to be used as a help in interpreting the motive force which lies behind the actions and reactions of the whole man; it is perhaps this which gives his philosophy its bracing life-giving quality. It is a philosophy with a boundless horizon, whereas the current usages of psychoanalysis plainly show it to have been built upon a cosmogony as limited in scope as that which bounded the universe of Kelvin or of Huxley.
If Freud gives us a calculus for the examination of behavior, the philosophy on which it rests is a philosophy of causes; to Groddeck, however, all causes derive from an unknowable principle which animates our lives and actions. Groddeck is most careful to insist that the It is not a thing-in-itself, but merely a way-of-seeing.
"It must not be forgotten that the brain, and therefore the intellect, is itself created by the It… Long before the brain comes into existence the It of man is already active and 'thinking' without the brain, since it must first construct the brain before it can use it to think with. This is a fundamental point and one we are inclined to ignore or forget. In the assumption that one thinks only with the brain is to be found the origin of a thousand and one absurdities, the origin also of many valuable discoveries and inventions, much that adorns life and much that makes it ugly… Over and against the It there stands the ego [conscious mind], the I, which I take to be merely the tool of the It, but which we are forced by nature to regard as the It's master; whatever we say in theory there remains always for us men the final verdict 'I am I.'… We cannot get away from it, and even while I assert the proposition is false I am obliged to act as if it were true. Yet I am, by no means, I, but only a continuously changing form in which my 'It' displays itself, and the 'I' feeling is just one of its ways of deceiving the conscious mind and making it a pliant tool…"
"Every observation is necessarily one-sided, every opinion a falsification. The act of observing disintegrates a whole into different fields of observation, whilst in order to arrive at an opinion one must first dissect a whole and then disregard certain of its parts…"
"Christ was not, neither will He be; He is. He is not real. He is true. It is not within my power to put all this into words; indeed I believe it is impossible for anyone to express truth of this sort in words, for it is imagery, symbol, and the symbol cannot be spoken."
We are still the children of Descartes, and it is only here and there you will find a spirit who dares to replace that inexorable first proposition, with the words: "I am, therefore I can love."
Groddeck's Children
Vann Spruiell
Excerpted from the Journal of the Philadelphia Association for Psychoanalysis, 1979, Vol. 6: 175-181
Other analysts are apt to treat older children and adults -- public lives being publicly observed. Groddeck's children are altogether a spicier lot. Reconstructed out of his own memories and those of his patients, we recognize in them, instantly, our patients, our children and ourselves as experienced privately.
For some years it was not easy to find English translations of Groddeck's works, and even today most are out of print. But in 1976 a new edition of The Book of the It appeared, which included a fine introduction by Lawrence Durrell (Source of quotations except where noted). And 1977 saw the publication of a selection of his writings along with correspondence with Freud, beautifully edited by Lore Schacht. The student's lot is now easier.
Georg Groddeck spent half his life in the nineteenth century, half in the twentieth. Born in 1866, ten years after Freud, he died in 1934 in Switzerland, soon after fleeing the Gestapo. Shortly before that, he had sent an obscene telegram to the newly elected Hitler. He was a general practitioner of fiercely independent mind and unusually wide philosophical and literary interests. He loved and scoffed at his calling -- the essential quality of being a physician, he said, was "a propensity for cruelty which has been just so far suppressed as to be useful, and which has as its warder the dread of causing pain" (p. 4).
Groddeck was a pupil of Schweninger, Bismarck's personal physician. Schweninger saw the doctor as merely a catalyst to set off a therapeutic process. But Groddeck had his own style: "Nearly as great as my aversion to the surgeon's bloody trade is my dislike of the assorted poisons of the pharmacopoeia, and so I came to massage and to mental treatment; these are both not less cruel, but they adapt themselves better to any particular man's desire to suffer" (p. 5).
Probing more and more into his patients' minds, he uncovered the basic principles of symbolization, resistance, and transference, although he did not then label them as such. Before learning about psychoanalysis, he had come to the conclusion that men may believe they are living their own lives, but they are actually "lived" by an unconscious "something," a great force, the mystery of life, called Gottnature by Goethe. Because it was ineffable – in fact a fiction, he said, merely a way of thinking about man – Groddeck found it convenient to borrow the term "It" from Nietzsche. Consciousness, the ego, the self, physical illness, neurotic symptoms, and the great or vile works of man were basically manifestations of the It. The It was protean, could divide up, work one portion against others, experiment, build up, be playful, be destructive – finally destructive unto death.
The task for the physician in all illnesses (for Groddeck did not believe in the separation of the organic from the mental) was to gain access by any means to the patient's It, to influence it in its ways. He himself sought access through the use of diet and massage, and in the process of interpreting symbol, transference, and resistance. But the actual process of cure remained, as he admitted over and over, unknown.
Freud received his first letter from Groddeck in 1917, a long and curious missive full of self-revelations and clinical examples. Intrigued, charmed, amused, Freud answered, "I understand that you are requesting me urgently to supply you with an official confirmation that you are not a psychoanalyst . . . Obviously I am doing you a service if I push you away. . . Yet I cannot do this; I have to claim you, I have to assert that you are a splendid analyst who has understood forever the essential aspects of the matter. The discovery that transference and resistance of the most important aspects of treatment turns a person irretrievably into a member of the wild army. No matter if he calls the unconscious "it" (Groddeck, 1977, p. 36).
Freud, in his delineation of what would become known as the structural theory, acknowledged his debt to Groddeck, but agreed to the translation into English of Das Es into the word, Id. But privately he cautioned from the beginning that there was no need to extend the concept of the dynamic unconscious into philosophical and mystical realms. The differences about the translation of Das Es into "It" for Groddeck and "Id" for Freud persisted. Despite these cautious distinctions, and despite Groddeck's independence, Freud never lost a close interest in him.
Freud, reasonable, weighed down by responsibilities and leadership, loyal to the scientific version of rationality of his time, mindful of the future, cautious of his own flights of fantasy, perhaps envied Groddeck's freedom. In 1925 he wrote, "Everything from you is interesting to me, even if I may not follow you in detail. I do not, of course, recognize my civilized, bourgeois, demystified Id in your It. Yet you know that mine derived from yours" (Groddeck 1977, p. 93). And to Pfister, who, like others, attacked Groddeck, Freud wrote, "I energetically defend Groddeck against your respectability. What would you have said if you had been a contemporary of Rabelais?" (p. 6). Groddeck was a kind of anti-rationalist poet and philosopher, a sort of holy fool; Freud, unlike men of narrower minds, could cherish him.
As a devoted follower of ego psychology and the developmental point of view, I believe Groddeck serves a function in reintroducing us to the excitement, terrors, richness, comedies, tragedies, earthiness, and joyfulness of the private worlds of conscious and unconscious fantasy. After all, should not our theories subsume these matters too? In fact, I believe he reintroduces us to the very qualities that fascinated most of us about psychoanalysis in the first place. The Book of the It is rich with examples of universal unconscious fantasies from childhood – precisely those private fantasies and acts that the public observer and the private parent is apt to miss: "mothers really understand very little about their children" (p. 25).
Groddeck was a lifelong enfant terrible, an insouciant purveyor of shocking home truths. With what joie de vivre does he celebrate everything about infantile sexuality! With what glee puncture the pretensions of hypocrites! With what satisfaction does he announce the certainty – the necessity – that we all contain hatefulness, malice, spite, envy, vanity, and murder. Mother-love, yes, but mother-hate too. "Listen, I am convinced that the child gets born through hatred" (p. 35). Hatred is as valid and necessary as love – as Freud (1915) had pointed out. Blood, excrement, semen – Groddeck celebrates them. He smells what is to be smelled, tastes what is to be tasted. He never lets up on the ruthlessness of his own self-analysis.
Bisexuality? Groddeck, like Freud, insists on its universality. Sadomasochism? exhibitionism? "The truth is that the exhibitionist is in the same class as all those other people labeled with the final '-ist,' with the sadist, the masochist, the fetishist. They are in essence the same as ourselves who call ourselves healthy. The sole difference is that we allow our desires to play only where custom permits, where the '-ist' is out of date" (p. 218).
Masturbation? The mother herself gives the child instruction in masturbation," (by the intimacies exchanged through handling, changing diapers, bathing, etc.) "(She) is obliged to do so (p. 53). But the mother also then forbids it, punishes it. As a consequence, "in large measure, our human world, our culture, was certainly founded on masturbation. And masturbation finally returns, center stage, as the solace for the aged.
Parricide? The oedipal struggles? Castration anxiety? Penis envy? Admitted with tolerance, often with pleasure. All, as Freud knew, are parts of infantile sexuality. None ever renounced, only recognized. Everything human is Groddeck's province – and he must talk about it. Even his own exhibitionism is taken for granted, with irony.
But he is as willing to face pain as pleasure, to appreciate the ubiquity of guilt and ambivalence, craven fears, the poignancy of loss, the submission to the fate of the unconscious. The craving for pain? "Cruelty is indissolubly linked with love, and red blood is the deepest enchantment for red love" (p.124). For punishment? "And then you come to me with foolishness that children should not be punished? Ah . . . but the child wants to be punished, he yearns for it, he pants for a beating" (p. 123). The talon law always prevails – "the life of man is ruled by the law, 'as thou to me, so I to thee'" (p. 8). And as for narcissism, "I am what the learned call a narcissist. Narcissism plays a great role in men's lives. If I had not possessed it to so high a degree, I should not have become what I am" (p. 261).
Groddeck does not allow himself (or us) the balms of ordinary amenities. "Watch anyone when he thinks he is alone; at once you see the child come to the surface, sometimes in very comical fashion. He yawns, or without embarrassment, he scratches his head or his bottom, or he picks his nose, or even – yes, it has got to be said – he lets out wind. The daintiest lady will do so!" (p. 16).
"All these phenomena can be laid bare by the process of free association, by the recognition of the symbol, by understanding dreams. The dream is the speech of the unconscious (p. 37). By recognizing the ubiquity of resistance and transference. But the laying bare does not produce final answers, and the nature of the unconscious is only barely comprehensible, only partly bearable to comprehend. What a toilsome business it is to speak about the Id. One plucks a string at hazard, and there comes the response, not of a single note, but of many, confusedly mingling and dying away again, or else awakening new echoes, and ever new again, until such an ungoverned medley of sounds is raging that the stammer of speech is lost. Believe me, one cannot speak about the unconscious, one can only stammer, or rather, one can only point out this and that with caution, lest the hell brood of the unconscious world should rush up out of the depths with their wild clangor" (p. 33).
Groddeck's children are simply reflections of our most intimate and secret selves – no more and no less. We know about these children because we know about ourselves and our patients. "Life begins with childhood, and by a thousand devious paths through maturity attains its single goal, once more to be a child, and the one and only difference between people lies in the fact that some grow childish and childlike" (p. 16).
Our knowledge takes us back with confidence only to the reaches of verbal memory, only sometimes into the third year, perhaps rarely a bit earlier. Nevertheless, "In the mind of a three-year-old child there are processes at work which though extremely involved, have a certain unity at the source" (p. 12). Those first years, as the later ones, still live in the unconscious. Of course we are all aware that the reconstruction of development based solely on adult analyses is full of pitfalls. Everybody knows that fantasies are often mistaken for deeds. Notwithstanding distortions, adult memory brings back not merely data from which we may reconstruct abstract developmental lines, not singular aspects of drives or object relations, not merely this or that dimension of cognition or affect. Memory brings back the wholeness of psychic life and the deep structure underlying the observable.
Psychic events from the (insecurely dated) earliest times must be inferred from observations made within the introspective field, just as the developmentalist infers intra-psychic events from (more securely dated) external behavior. In either case, the observer fantasizes about the behavior he observes. Depending on how free his fantasy is, some things can be guessed about the interior life of the child.
The fact is, psychoanalysis needs both kinds of observations and needs to try to integrate the guesses. In emphasizing the difference in observations made within the introspective field from those observations made outside, I do not wish to slight the extraordinarily valuable psychoanalytic developmental researches of the past three decades -–any more than I would advocate theoretical return from an ego psychological to an id point of view. But it is impossible to believe that Freud intended the ego to replace the id, or that he intended psychoanalysis to move away from the recognition that humans of any age live in conflict, preoccupied with events having to do with self and cognition, untrammeled by the vicissitudes of drives, of infantile sexuality and aggression.
Freud was right in refusing to shun Groddeck. For all his philosophical, mystical, and religious inclinations, he was not in the least interested in seeking "followers," much less in founding a "school." But he was original. In his writings he says, "Everything in them that sounds reasonable, or perhaps only a little strange, is derived from Professor Freud of Vienna and his colleagues; whatever is quite mad, I claim as my own spiritual property" (p. 25).
Groddeck, then, is as an antidote to the tendency to forget human mystery in our theories and as an antidote to the unending proclivities to evade, by way of repression and denial, the lusts, aggressions, conflicts, and, let it be said, the complexities of our children in their earliest years.
The Book Of The It (1923) is a key text in the history of psychoanalytical thought and the investigation of human sexual compulsion. Georg Groddeck posits the "It" as the unconscious force that drives human behavior and underpins its poles of attraction and revulsion, standing as the root source of physical disease. It was this notion that Freud would modify into his concept of the Id, a primal calculus of sex and violence.

Even IBM Can't Win the Cloud Alone
Gartner Group estimates the public cloud market for 2013 at $131 billion, and, combined with the private clouds, hybrid clouds, and cloud applications emerging from all this, we're talking about a multitrillion-dollar opportunity.
This was not a big story in the wider world, or even among investors, who seem much more interested in the fate of J.C. Penney's (JCP) Rob Johnson or Pershing Capital's Bill Ackman than in some technology announcement. People like to read about people. Technology is boring by comparison.
But for someone who has covered computing his whole working life, and studied the history of computing from its beginnings, this is a very big deal.
IBM built the very first computer monopoly with its mainframe business and played the "great game" of control over base technology for half my life, until a "kid with a clue" named Bill Gates outmaneuvered it. The company has now spent two decades rebuilding itself as a force in services, in support, in the behind-the-scenes grunt work that turns computing into business value, and cloud was its chance to get back into the game, to take control.That IBM chose cooperation, and assured that interoperability at least will remain the norm as cloud technology moves forward, is an historic turning point. Bullish for IBM, yes. But bullish for many others as well. At the time of publication, the author was long IBM, RHT and GOOG.

LOS ANGELES, August 10, 2013 - President Obama held his first press conference in four months featuring questions from the White House press corps.
He called on friendly reporters who ranged from polite agreement to sycophantic worship. Occasional tough questions were ignored. Rambling answers prevented additional questions.
Though the Benghazi and IRS scandals are far more serious, the NSA scandal upsets members of Obama's base more, forcing him to discuss it.
"Given the history of abuse by governments, it is right to ask questions about surveillance," Obama said, cleverly suggesting that past administrations, most recently George W. Bush's, have crossed the line while his own has been much more noble.
He said he wants his national security team to be "more transparent," and listed four steps to boost public confidence in national intelligence efforts.
The first is to conduct "appropriate reforms" to Section 215 of the PATRIOT Act. Obama said that the act is "not being abused," but that it could be.
However, people are upset over perceived violations now, not just potential abuses.
The second step is more oversight and reforms of the FISA court. Obama noted that a judge hearing only from the government does not hear both sides of the story. Though it didn't involve the FISA court, he might have mentioned Attorney General Eric Holder lying to a federal judge to target Fox News reporter James Rosen.
Step three is more transparency. Obama directed agencies to release as much NSA information as possible. He wants to hire a full-time civil liberties and privacy officer. This would be symbolic since Obama is the decision maker. He also wants a website to serve as a hub for further transparency.
Step four is hiring outside experts to review surveillance technologies.
Step three would be sufficient, if Obama were serious about it: The Obama Administration should simply be transparent.
Obama continues to protest, "America is not interested in spying on ordinary people." Other governments "throw their own citizens in prison for what they say online."
Obama had a film-maker thrown in prison for jeopardizing Obama's reelection chances. The film-maker remains imprisoned. Nobody is taking responsibility for pushing a false video narrative.
The questions were mostly shameful.
Julie Pace of AP asked if Putin was to blame for rising tensions. This allowed Obama to deflect blame. Obama wants to "encourage Putin to think forward as opposed to backwards."
Chuck Todd of NBC News asked if Snowden was a whistleblower and a patriot, rather than a hacker. Todd also asked if Obama could get anything done with Russia.
Obama drifted from reality."I don't have a bad personal relationship with Putin," he said. The press "likes to focus on body language."Russia needs to look "forward."
"I don't think Mr. Snowden is a patriot," Obama said. "I called for a thorough review" before Snowden made his lists."Our laws specifically prohibit us from surveilling U.S. persons without a warrant."
Obama brazenly blamed the NSA scandal on a lack of checks and balances from the courts and Congress.
Major Garrett of CBS News threw a major softball. He wanted to know if Obama was "annoyed" by chatter about his choice for the next Federal Reserve Chairman.
Yes. He is annoyed, just as when Susan Rice was attacked.
Obama reinvented economic history, stating that before Paul Volcker, the Fed was not paying attention, so inflation shot up. He left out Jimmy Carter's destructive policies.
Carol Lee is the lovestruck schoolgirl who gushed the day after the 2012 election that she had never seen Obama lose. She continued to fawn all over him.
"I appreciate you making it a slow news week."
She then asked why Obama changed his position on domestic surveillance. He said he did not.
"Abuses would be against the law. …I am comfortable the program is not being abused."
It is so because he says so.
Jonathan Karl of ABC News actually asked a substantive question. "Do you still believe that al Qaeda has been decimated?
Obama offered a tortured Clintonian explanation of what he really meant. He said "core al Qaeda was on its heels," but that al Qaeda has metastasized into regional groups. The centralized group behind 9/11 has broken apart and is very weak. They do not have a lot of operational capacity. Regional groups pose a threat.
Ed Henry of Fox News asked whether selective Obamacare enforcement was illegal. He also wanted to know where the Benghazi killers are.
Obama was now in full defiance mode."I got bin Laden." Refering to Benghazi, he said,"There is a sealed indictment."
In other words, no transparency.
"I didn't simply choose to delay this on my own," he said.
Actually, he did.
Pivoting back to his decision to delay the employer mandate, Obama said, "We did have the executive authority to do so, and we did so."
Actually, he did not.
Obama praised Obamacare's benefits without mentioning that it is crippling hiring. He turned petulant when he claimed that the number one GOP priority is making sure that 30 million people don't have healthcare.
He claimed that with any new product rollout, "there will be some glitches."
He compared Obamacare to a "car company rolling out a new car," and "Apple rolling out a new iPad."
Those companies use company money, not taxpayer funds.
When Obama tried to blame Republicans in advance for a government shutdown, Jessica Yellin of CNN asked if he would choose to let the government shut down over Obamacare.
He deflected, saying "we'll see what happens."
The final loaded question about immigration reform noted that House Republicans are often in "white districts." This played the race card and allowed Obama to talk until he was ready to leave.
A press conference about transparency still left unknown where Obama was when four Americans were murdered in Benghazi. He also failed to answer why his administration is still targeting half the country through ongoing IRS abuses.
People are not losing trust in "government" or "Washington." They are losing confidence in Obama, and he refuses to admit this. Changes are useless unless he changes his behavior and starts being the transparent leader he promised to be.

Williams Achieves Win in Close Race at Northeast Dragway
By Carla Winslow
The point's series got back underway after a weekend off at Northeast Dragway on Saturday afternoon. With eleven points races scheduled in the 2014 season racers came to the dragway competing for points to earn the title of track champion. On Saturday the fifth point's race began with several racers only a few rounds behind the leaders, a good day at the track could move racers from the bottom to the top.
Ricky Williams of Gates County, NC fought his way through some of his most difficult rounds this season to meet Leon Wiggins of Norfolk, VA in the finals. Both drivers dialed-in a 6.21 making it a heads up race to the finish. Wiggins left with a reaction time of .0123 and Williams with a .0102. Both drivers ran dead on their dial but William's slight advantage off the line gave him the advantage that he needed to take the win. "Wow, what a finish, that's what you call great racing. I am so thankful to race at such a great track. I always get my best sixty foots and quickest passes at this track and all of that paid off for me today."
2013 Modified track champion Jesse Casper of Edenton, NC put another win in the books, winning back to back races. A back and forth battle over the lead this year has made it a very interesting points season already. Casper went all rounds putting himself back into the points lead over the 2009 Modified points champion Jamie Durden of Suffolk, Va. Casper met veteran driver Eric Whitehurst in the finals. A coin toss determined lane choice for the drivers. With their dial-ins posted, both drivers staged their cars. It was a clean start off the line for each driver but Casper's quicker reaction gave him what he needed to take the win from Whitehurst. Car owner Earl Watson could not have been more excited to see his driver in the winner's circle again. "Dang this is good stuff. I have a lot of confidence in my driver. He hasn't let me down yet. And with the help of LJ. Wood Affordable Transmissions and Gates County Auto Machine Shop I had the package we needed to get it done again tonight."
Sharon "Bubble Gum" Smith found herself in the winner's circle for the first time this season. Smith had been to two finals this season but fell short both times until Saturday afternoon when she took her 1987 Chevy Camaro to the winners circle. Smith faced one of the toughest street class drivers Tony Boone, a former Street Class Champion in the finals. Boone went -.0065 red and the win light went to Smith. "I'm so excited to get this win. I came close a few times this year. This is my third year running the street class and I do it on a budget. I have such a great time out here. The street class is a great way to get into the sport of drag racing without the higher cost it takes to run in the MOD and TOP ET classes. The street class is a lot of fun and it fits my budget too."
Madison Tuck of Williamsburg, Va took her Jr Dragster to the winners circle for the third time this season. Tuck met Justin Blythe of Sedley, Va in the finals. Blythe had deadly lights all day with a .001 .003 and .009 but in the final round, Blythe pushed the tree a little too much and went -.0793 giving the win to Tuck.
On Saturday June 7th Northeast Dragway will open for a day of Grudge racing, as well as a gamblers race for TOP and MOD. Entertainment will be provided by DJ Weezy. Gates will open at 3pm with racing until 11:58 pm. Free admission for kids 12 and under. Points racing will resume again on June 14th. Test and Tunes are every Friday night with gates opening at 7pm and runs from 8-11pm, For more information log onto www.northeastdragway.net

Nostalgia Chick on Twitter and Facebook
Follow Mara on Twitter and like her on Facebook
10.11.2012 - 22:27 | Shadow125Absolutely amazing. Please tell me there will be a commentary. First I have to say Mara's, very nice, rack was the least shocking thing for me, hearing her drop the f-bomb however blew my mind. Though the moment that had me in stitches has to be Nella at the very end, I wont spoil it, but yeah it is great. Here is to many more Mara Wilson cameos in the future.
10.12.2012 - 02:40 | LikaLaruku
10.12.2012 - 07:35 | Aural Aurum
10.12.2012 - 14:38 | Moreno X - to LikaLarukuIf you ask me, the title card looks like Susie Carmichael and Angelica Pickles in rage-forms and are NChick's and Mara Wilson's child forms.
10.15.2012 - 13:53 | Ohsha - Indigo ChildrenBest titlecard I've seen on here in memory. But is the artist's name as cool a reference to X-com as Cyberdisk?
Lindsay's trolling playing devil's advocate for truncheon.
"especially boys" sexist.
Roald Dahl's great. Lindsay's the first person I've heard say she doesn't like Roald Dahl. Mustn't've read him as a kid. The BFG is better than Charlie and the Chocalate Factory.
"you have boobs now" Lindsay's saying what we're all thinking. I'm surprised Matilda-woman's cool with how critical and flippant Lindsay's about Matilda.
Matilda-woman's a good reviewer. Atleast for a movie she was in.
One reason folks love works like Matilda is b/c they portray the children as better than the adults. As a kid it makes you feel empowered and you're easily manipulated by the "Kidz Rule!" ad campaigns for whatever and as an adult people still like to believe they were gifted children beyond their peers and even adults. For these same reasons, when the Ender's Game movie comes out, if Hollywood mitigates how much they butcher the adaptation, it'll be popular. Every kid wants to think he's a genius and every adult wants to think he was a smart kid.
I did not see a lesbian pedo joke coming. Gross but you got me to laugh. Realistically, Honey who's hot is a poor candidate for kiddie-lover b/c her sexuality's satisfied by men. Truncheon, who's butch as hell and without male suitors is a strong candidate for Faculty Member Most Likely to Molest a Child of the Same Gender.

10.12.2012 - 09:51 | otakuchick45in the first few minutes i was like, oh... yeah.. NChick reviewing Matilda.. blahblah... HOLY SHIT MARAAAA! that's so cool!!!!! i nearly fainted....
10.11.2012 - 22:35 | TadaaaBEST TWIST EVAAAR!!
- And I really didn't recognize her, although I was waiting for a cameo of her the whole time...
...Can't someone get her her own show on TGWTG.com ? Please??
10.12.2012 - 23:11 | Shadow125Sadly I didnt get the twist. Doug posted the video link to the blip main site, long before it was on TGWTG, with the tagline on facebook saying " SHHHHEEEES BAAAAAAACK!!!!!"
10.11.2012 - 22:44 | Ultrasupermanso now that mara has been in your video i guess now she has to be in the 5th year anniversary movie along side james lol
10.11.2012 - 22:49 | Shadow125Sadly there won't be a big 5th anniversary video. Doug has already said it may be a few years before we get anything substantial again. Expect something perhaps on the level of the brawl.

10.15.2012 - 10:29 | Noekbut there will ba a UK video like it, and anouther vid called the Avengers witch gets diffrent reviewers from diffrent sites togeter
10.11.2012 - 23:53 | mrrubino
10.12.2012 - 09:56 | otakuchick45i was totally expecting her to join the NCHick team... interesting new member, you know.
10.12.2012 - 08:12 | KFCuser - AgreedThat would be the pinnacle of awesomeness, genius idea! She was great as a child actor and now she's even greater as a grown up woman. James is simply the funniest game reviewer I've ever seen and his fake feud with Doug was just as cool. It's a lot to hope for, but if it ever happens, many minds will be blown.
10.11.2012 - 22:58 | trlklyWell, since you brought it up, I'll say this really quick: She's a lot prettier when she's not using the horrible lighting of her web cam. I actually didn't recognize her at first, and it was her prettiness that clued me in that she must be something other than a neighbor. One person can't have all pretty friends.
That aside: am I the only person who thinks she doesn't look anything like Matilda anymore? I find it funny that people stop her on the street about it. There is absolutely no way I would recognize her if she hadn't appeared in the Nostalgia Critic's video.
Also, NC's not dead, remember. You established that he was a puppet, remember?
10.11.2012 - 23:53 | nathanisboredAgreed, although I did know it was her before watching the video because I read the video description, but otherwise I probably would have been in the same boat.
10.12.2012 - 00:56 | Semudara
10.12.2012 - 17:44 | LOLZERThat's why she said he kind of dead. There is a difference between kind of dead and all dead.
10.13.2012 - 12:44 | thatchickwithlonghair
10.11.2012 - 23:00 | Loremich12Mara Wilson, the only person that can shock me twice in the same channel. This was another great review and thanks to her NC appearance I started reading her blog. She's a really good writer. Again, awesome review. I'd love to see more of this.
10.11.2012 - 23:22 | TheTannedOtaku - She's baaaack
10.12.2012 - 19:31 | DarkBee - Mathilda/Ms. Honey slash
10.11.2012 - 23:29 | EmperorSamThis is so fucking awesome! I looooove Mara and I am on the Matilda-likers team. This is the best tgwtg review I've seen this week.
10.12.2012 - 09:53 | ladydisketteI loved Matilda, I read the book and I could so relate to her engrossing of reading and how she felt like she was never understood at home.
For the record my family were not total assholes as Matilda's were, but there were times where we just didn't see eye-to-eye on things. But it was a great book and after finally watching the movie, I have to say its a pretty good adaptation if I ever saw one.
Also I love the powerplay between Chick and Mara Wilson. Just awesome.
10.11.2012 - 23:41 | SKRenHaHA. I saw that Blue Moon bottle. I love that Beer.
10.11.2012 - 23:53 | ColeYote

10.12.2012 - 11:35 | ColeYote
10.12.2012 - 00:00 | CPFaceYour show just keeps getting better and better. The analysis is great, the timing and editing is great, the story bit is fun and flows naturally with the review without drowning it out... Yeah, I love it.
The thing I remember most about Matilda was this feeling of conspicuous absence. I'm so used to movies where we find out some detail about the villain's past that makes sense of their motivation that I found myself waiting for the big reveal that would make the principal make sense. But nope! Like you said, that's kind of a Dahl thing.
I don't feel too strongly one way or the other about the movie, but I do kind of admire it for being so balls-out nasty. I think kids like that every now and then.
10.12.2012 - 00:02 | Cinnamon ScudworthDaaaaark Maraaaaaaa! Daaaaaark Maraaaaaa!
What a treat of a treat; I thought she was way better in her one scene with the NC than in any of her films, and figured we'd never see her acting in grownup form again. She has aged well, like a fine wine, and should really consider getting back into the business. Really.
10.12.2012 - 09:13 | BizarroGeek
10.12.2012 - 00:06 | SpeedyEric - "Holy $h!t, Matilda. You got a great rack!"I grew up with Matilda, and like many other people who click on this site, I loved watching this film while growing.
7:17- Tell me about it.
Mara is Jean Grey? I just hope she doesn't become the Phoenix. ...Oh wait, she already has.
9:40- Damn, Mara is smart.
12:44- I like to thank this movie for having me spell "difficulty."
OMG, what a great review. One of best NChick's in a while.
10.14.2012 - 18:46 | junebug_nery
10.12.2012 - 00:07 | EpicFish
10.12.2012 - 00:12 | thorondragonit is kinda cool, but i have to say, it is slightly sad she actually come along to an internet reviewing site.
still, mara power is nothing compared to my own!
shoots a storm of lightning from body!!!!
10.12.2012 - 00:14 | badgerspriteJesus Christ that was funny. I may have to resort to using a chalkboard to communicate, because I'm still laughing.
Great video, and I think it summed up a lot of why Matilda was so influential and important to a lot of us who watched it as kids, and hence why it's still very dear to a lot of us as adults.
10.12.2012 - 00:18 | ReckoningReviewer
10.12.2012 - 00:18 | NuthouseI have always loved Matilda. The idea of the chokey scared the crap out of me.
10.12.2012 - 00:25 | qazox
10.12.2012 - 00:34 | Kumi"Those pancakes are fluffy as fuck."
Downright hysterical, because just about every time I have ever made pancakes, I lament that my pancakes have never looked as good as the pancakes in this goddamn movie.
Also, honorable LOL mention for "You're a jesus, Harry."
The part about Matilda being one of those rare films where the gender of character is simply incidental and has little to do with who they are or their motivation is true, although I'd never noticed it before.
10.12.2012 - 00:46 | Louiscipher - Color temperature doesn't match from shot to shotGiving you a 4 for that. Sorry. Great review, Mara is funny and it was nice to see you two together (cough).
But Lindsay, seriously. The color temperatures have to match from shot to shot, every time it cuts it's horribly off. Don't know if this was an oversight or just ignored to get content out but it's there. I'm guessing you started shooting around early morning and it segued to the afternoon guessing by the color temperature in a few shots. One shoot in particular does not flatter Mara.
Use Magic Bullet. It does wonders for Color Correction.
Signed, unsolicited criticism.
10.12.2012 - 00:59 | cannedfuryThis was great. But whenever Mara went sinister, it would have been even better with a Dutch angle. That and the color correction thing the guy above said, yeah.
10.12.2012 - 00:54 | TheBechtloff
10.12.2012 - 06:30 | dennett316
10.12.2012 - 01:01 | WaffleThis is actually the first NChick show I've watched. MUST WATCH MORE!
Great to see Mara Wilson again. She's so pwetty *_*
I'll never understand what the big deal is with Matilda and Matilda fans not wanting anyone to say anything negative about the film. I enjoyed the movie. I'm a fan of it. It was part if my childhood. Someone doing a review where they say they don't like the movie isn't going to make me think any less of them or myself.
10.12.2012 - 12:07 | FloweramonGoing back to what was said in the review about it being an empowering movie for children and that it basically told kids that it's okay to be who you are, I imagine the mindset of these rabid fans is that if anyone finds true, multiple faults with the movie, then it's says to them subconsciously, "You were stupid to find anything good/relatable/empowering in this film and you should be ashamed for enjoying it or for finding it good at all." I'm more in your mindset, but that's how I imagine they might be.
Personally, I love this movie, but growing up I do see more of its flaws. One that I'm surprised wasn't brought up was the unnecessary narrator (she brought him up, but to bring up another flaw). There are so many points were the narrator says something that we can see for ourselves, or the biggest thing for me was Ms. Honey's introduction where he outright states that she has a dark secret. Really? Don't want to just imply and build up to the reveal, just outright say she's hiding something?
Also, I remember when I came across Matilda/Ms. Honey fanfics and I was like, "Ew, really?!" Then I went back and watched the film and right at that scene she showed I was like, "... Okay, I see where they get that idea."
10.12.2012 - 01:02 | Tina_Branford
10.12.2012 - 22:03 | ErynCeriseI had that same experience, and I'm pretty sure it's just because she was still finding her groove a while back. That's when stuff like Dark Nella or some of her more unfocused/forced video pieces were happening. Once she found the balance of intellectual analysis and humorous commentary that was just right for her, she started to hone it into awesomeness, and that is what we have today.
10.12.2012 - 01:04 | MothmouthGood thing Lindsay didn't post that she was gonna review this movie before releasing the review, unlike Doug's case.
10.12.2012 - 01:05 | Dromedary Meat Cactus - "IMDB's the worst."Very minor nitpick, but as a film and TV watcher, IMDB has seriously changed my life for the better, leading to countless discoveries of shows and movies I never would have heard of. IMDB is one of the few websites I would really miss if I lost access to the web. I guess this must be a difference in perception between film fans and people in the entertainment business whose information is sometimes input incorrectly on the site.
10.12.2012 - 01:13 | Thatfatguyinalittlecoat - I think....Part of the reason WHY people love this movie so much is it's sort of simple. I mean who hasn't had someone in Authority do something they disagree with? Sure the principal chick was a played up example, but such a thing happens all the time in RL, who hasn't ever wanted to throw a water balloon or two at an arrogant superior?
I also think he parents weren't really "Evil". I think it was sort of believed, and implied they were "Just stupid", her parents loved her. sure they were hard on her and sometimes did things she didn't like, but I never felt they were going to hurt her or something. I always got the vibe they were just misguided and didn't quite understand their daughter. IN the end they gave up Matilda to a happier home where she was loved and could grow into a better person.
I also always got a sort of "Standing up for yourself is hard but worth it" vibe. Matilda could "Give up" she could become like her brother and family. She doesn't' want to she likes to read.
An old friend of mine once said she felt Matilda had a strong "Coming out" theme to it. I think that was unintentional but I can sort of see it after she pointed it out to me. A girl granted a special power that she shares with a teacher rather than her parents who wouldn't understand, parents who want their daughter to do things a certain way that just feels weird and uncomfortable to her. I honestly don't think it was intentional but it does sort of fit. Especially if you sort of twist the principal character into society. Someone dead set against what she is.
Anyway that's just my thought and opinions. I enjoyed the review Mara Wilson is attractive I had a small crush on Matilda when the movie first came out ((I was in second grade at the oldest I think first.)) it would be interesting if she produced her own show, however I don't think it would really happen. I do hope she makes a few more cameos eventually however.
Anyway, great review. Now I need to go see if their are any Mara Wilson/Nostalgia Chick slash fics..... lol

I can see that.
Not because I think it was specifically the intent, but because that's just one of the ways a child can turn out in a way the parents or the society don't approve of.

Best Uses
For the price, i am happy, but it should be bigger, have a firmer lid so that writing and use of the clip board type clamp is possible. it also needs a better way to secure to the seat.
Best Uses
I use it in my pickup in my travels as a regional manager. It does an excellent job securing files I take around with me. Pockets work well for storage. The closure on the top could have longer sides to help secure it and maintain its shape. Also could use hold down loops on all four sides so it could be positioned however a person wanterd.

|Looking for information on building our own range hood. I saw an episode of Kitchen Impossible where they built a steel frame, covered it in cement board and tiled it. They left out the part about installing the fan. There is no info on their website.
I've been searching the internet and can't seem to find anything. I would like to cover it in wood or tile. The reason for DIY is that range hoods seem extremely expensive.
I posted in appliances without much response. DH has the needed skills such as welding the frame etc. Looking for a plan, guide, advise, photos, etc.
Has anyone created their own hood?

|Mine was made by my cabinet line, but another source for custom hoods that may be more reasonable would be your local steel fabricator.
I sent my teenage daughter to pick up a custom chase cover for a fireplace and when she got back she was in awe over all of the range hoods that were being fabricated.
It's just a thought for another source.
Good Luck.

|Debra, what you want to hunt for is a 'range hood insert'. These are the fans that are made to be "dropped" or built into a frame you provide yourself. You can also purchase liners separately, which are metal flanges made to line the inside of the hood around the fan in order to pass fire safety code.
We are making our own range hood, too (can't decide if we're going to do wood, tile or copper). I bought my 40" insert from an online discounter - there are lots of places to look, including eBay, Overstock, Graveyardmall, etc.
Linked are the offerings from AJMadison, just because they're the easiest site to search:
Here is a link that might be useful: Range Hood Inserts

|Whoops, sorry, just re-read your post and you're looking more for design insights on the hood surround itself.
We're tackling ours with our experienced carpenter friend next weekend, so I can be in touch if you'd like details?
We're planning to build and mount a 2x2 or 2x4 and plywood frame no matter which exterior covering we choose -- sheet copper, trim wood or cement board for tiling. (Lately we've considered zinc since we made our own countertops out of copper and don't want copper overload).
If you google search the GardenWeb forums as a whole, you'll find a number of threads with more details.
|This could be an interesting project, so long as you don't assume that you will save very much. However, for the result to be effective as well as aesthetic, certain requirements apply. You can learn a lot about these requirements from web searches and visiting the Commercial kitchen hood sites.
It would be unwise to start this project without knowing what the requirements are for function and design, including safety requirements.
The two functional requirements are capture and containment. Capture is getting the rising and expanding effluent into the hood (requires overhang of the cooking zones). Containment is keeping the effluent from getting back into the room. This depends on air flow and internal hood design, choice of filtering, etc.
Another requirement is fire resistance. The design has to be inflammable, and has to minimally grease up beyond the filters. This requires an air velocity in the stack of more than 1000 feet/minute.
Your building inspector may have opinions about what he will approve, so he should be consulted after you have a design.

|circuspeanut, I'm looking for any and all info on this project. Those links are helpful. I would be interested in hearing more about your hood.
OK, so I need to buy a range hood insert and a liner. Then build a frame to cover it. Sound right?
Kaseki, you are right as there is alot to think about and this might not result in a cost savings. Need to plan this out...
I just don't understand why these range hoods are so expensive. For our needs just a basic ducted fan would be fine. We have a 30" electric range and just do basic cooking.
We could just run the duct through a cabinet but it seems like a waste of a cabinet but that would the cheapest option.
All ideas are welcome.

Available Projects
I am about to remodel my 1965 main bathroom. The floors are original to the home and are 1 inch tiles or various colors. I was thinking of saving time and money by just covering the floor with vinyl plank flooring. They are water resistant and click together. The only thing I am worried about is if the tile flooring underneath over time would make an impression on the vinyl, showing the 1 inch tile grid lines. I do not have space to tile over the old tiles and would consider cork flooring too. Any comments?
You can use a floor leveling compound on top of the tile, prior to installing the vinyl planks. This will make for a smooth enough surface to there will be no pattern telegraphing into the vinyl.
Something else to consider though - Installing a floating floor on top of the tile creates a space that can hold water. You can lessen this by sealing around the plank floor perimeter with a good silicon caulk, but eventually water will find it's way between the vinyl planks and the tile. This can lead to some mold and odor problems down the line.
You would be far better off removing the tile. Yes it's more work but, it's the right way to do it.
I'd also use glued down sheet linoleum not a floating floor.

Repeat Performance
After their kids move out, a couple once again call upon their favorite designer and old friend, John Saladinothis time to create their ultimate urban oasis
By Barbara King
Dining Room
"A room is a failure if you're not moved," the designer explains. "I would like to think your blood pressure has gone up here, and then you have to pause in the entrance hall and observe. I have arrested you for a moment. Some people get very excited and then get quiet. Some get quiet right away. You have left the madding crowd of New York City and entered an environment of tranquillity, a walk-in still life."
In the dining room, the leather-covered chair and custom-made screen are by Saladino Furniture, the lithograph is by Willem de Kooning, and the walls are upholstered in a Knoll Textiles fabric.

Razliku između vrsta kuhinjskih elemenata ukratko i jasno objašnjava ovaj engleski članak s poznatog portala http://EzineArticles.com:
Cabinets are an essential part of your kitchen; it defines the style and function of your kitchen. Determining the right type of cabinets for your kitchen will make this space more useful, convenient and at the same time will enhance the look and importance of your home.
The old custom was to hire a carpenter to make the cabinets and install them. Installing was never as easy as it is nowadays. Today you just have to go to the nearby local store and purchase the ready to put-up kitchen cabinetry. When you come back home you can install them all yourself. But always remember that before you install the kitchen cabinetry, you have to be specific about the type of cabinets and its usefulness. To purchase the perfect cabinetry for your kitchen you must consider certain important factors like the quality of wood, door styles, drawer type, color, pattern and hardware.
The kitchen cabinetry can be categorized into three parts.
• Custom kitchen cabinets: Custom cabinets are planned and then built specifically for your kitchen from scratch. The selection of all of the materials, shape, size, finish, everything is decided by the client. Custom kitchen cabinets enhance the importance of your home. They are comparatively more useful. They come with a warranty for a fixed time period and at the same time they can be quite expensive. It takes nearly one to two months for the building and delivering of the Custom Kitchen cabinetry.
• Semi-custom kitchen cabinets: Semi-custom are manufactured in a factory. They are made available in a limited number of sizes but with a lot of options to select from. Semi-custom cabinetry often use pine, pecan and hickory, cherry, oak, maple woods, etc. Width, depth and height of these cabinets can be changed. Delivery of Semi custom takes approximately four to six week.
• Stock cabinets: Generally, stock cabinets are purchased separately. In comparison to the other types, they are more reasonably priced. Stock cabinetry made up of particleboard are available in limited colors, types of wood and styles. Stock cabinetry often used cherry, oak and maple woods. To generate a different and improved look the cabinets can be enhanced with trims and moldings. The size of the stock items cannot be changed. The inventory is always available in stores so the delivery of stock cabinets are available instantaneously.
Custom kitchen cabinets are much better than the other two types available. People prefer custom kitchen cabinets because they fulfill all the specific needs of the kitchen space. There is no doubt that custom cabinetry is are more expensive as compared to the stock cabinetry. Essentially, these cabinets permit you to modify the kitchen on the basis of your personal taste and preferences. It is because a carpenter is specially building these cabinets and must be compensated for his work. His labor cost has to be added to the cost of the materials making custom cabinets more expensive. You also have to spend money on the installation of your custom cabinetry as these can at times be more complicated than the other two.

Combining a deli and steak house may sound unusual, but this Somers Point establishment makes it work.
After owning and operating a successful breakfast/lunch/catering business on Route 9 in Somers Point since 1989, the Fitzpatrick family moved their base of operations a mile or so east earlier this year.
They also shifted formats — more on that later — opting to call their new venture Fitzpatrick's Deli and Steak House.
Admittedly, it's a bit of an odd combo, but a recent Friday night meal proved that for the most part, they are making things work well. Walking into the place, patrons get an upscale diner-type feel. Not quite fine dining, but certainly an apropos locale for family meals or Jewish-style delicatessen fare. They've even coined a genre-crossing, conceptual term: "deli-dining."
We began with an app that intersected both of those circles, pastrami-wrapped scallops. It's a brilliant piece of culinary thought, playing off the traditional Angels on Horseback — bacon wrapped scallops — starter.
A pair of day boat-sized mollusks were nicely, tightly bound by slices of cured brisket and delicately seared. The naturally fatty, salty beef added plenty of oomph to those clean seafood flavors. Scallops were perched atop toast triangles and completed with a Pommery mustard sauce the equal of anything to be found in gourmet restaurants. Our other choice, flatbread piled high with caramelized onions, arrived cut into six irregular shapes.
We actually liked this bit of non-conformity; it demonstrated that the bread was stretched and built to order. The onions themselves were nothing less than grand, sweet, earthy and possessing a bouquet closer to spring flowers than what you might expect from members of the allium family.
House salads, accompanying entrees, proved a pleasant, albeit standard mix of iceberg, cukes, shredded carrot and tomato wedges, ours with above-average balsamic vinaigrette. Observing other tables on this evening, we noticed that about half were there for sandwiches and light fare, while other tables arrived carrying bottles of wine, intent on a BYOB experience.
Our first entrée was from the dinner menu, chicken thigh goulash. Described as being served over egg dumplings, it arrived atop what looked and ate more like twirls of homemade spaetzle. Either way, we weren't disappointed. Three large, luscious pieces of dark meat chicken were doused in a dark red, mildly piquant sauce.
Perfectly cooked — no small feat with thighs — the meat practically pulled off bones. Spaetzle were tender and light, formed with an herbal mix that undoubtedly included fresh parsley. For our money, this made for a more authentic Eastern European plate anyway.
I chose an evening's addition, strip steak atop cauliflower mash with celery root noodles. The steak was delivered at medium and a real value at a pound of meat for less than 20 bucks. Cauliflower is not typically a veg we're terribly fond of, but this version made us rethink that.
More "smashed" than "mashed" little florets of the healthful crucifer remained intact. It's often assertive flavor had been admirably blunted via a smooth, creamy blend resembling béchamel.
What really made our tongues wag were the brash, bold celery root noodles — wide ribbons of that bulbous veg — sitting happily atop the meat.
Desserts might have been the meal's real highlight. Mine, a cranberry-apple cobbler, was served piping hot in an individual white crock. Digging into the middle, we found big chunks of apple and tons of cranberries, cooked until their shells exploded. This resulted in a complex sort of natural juice that permeated right up to a topping of crunchy, brown-sugar laden crumbs. Completed with a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream, this is how a seasonal dessert should be done.
My dining partner's blueberry crumb cheesecake, airy and sweet, was no chopped liver either. (Nothing against chopped liver, just working a deli metaphor.)
Now completing their initial season, Fitzpatrick's demonstrates great promise as that rarest of all eateries; a full-service — read: three meals a day — food provider.
While the servers need to become more accustomed to the niceties of fine dining, they have seized upon a position in the market heretofore unexplored, thus reminding us of late genius comedian George Carlin's classic comedy bit about starting a path. Paraphrasing, he said that while "You gotta hold down the weeds yourself at first," the results would be worth the effort.
Fitzpatrick's new path presently appears clear of impediment and ready for travel.

Pushing a year since its birth Pinterest - the latest sparkly online community – is all set to become the darling of social media.
As is the routine in "social" the scout is always out for the next new "BIG THING". And judging by the PR and buzz created it seems that Pinterest might just be that beautiful & bright new star we've all been secretly wishing for.
In simple terms it's just an interactive pinboard but invites to the community are prized.
But I confess, like a moth to a flame, Pinterest really excites me – personally and professionally. It's got lashings of appeal and allure for sure and judging by the 10 million or so monthly visitors lots of other people feel the same. Latest statistics show an early skew towards female users; it seems also to have a magnetic pull on users from the world of art, culture, design, fashion, beauty and architecture.
Like all new promising start-ups grabbing some PR limelight is crucial to growth.
But with the oxygen of publicity comes greater inspection. And lately for Pinterest it seems that there is now growing speculation upon the thorny legal matter of the use of copyrighted material.
In this blog post Choire Sicha at The Awl questioned,
" …whether Pinterest might be the most illegal network to hit the Internet yet. More illegal than Napster. More illegal than Megaupload" .
Putting aside comparisons with the recent Megaupload piracy lawsuit it does seem that there are few grey areas, and that Pinterest might need to clarify a few matters in regard to possible copyright infringement matters.
In his really excellent and informative post on Business Insider, Kevin Lincoln (@KTLincoln) sheds some light on the topic. In a Q & A he brings out some of the legal principles of copyright infringement in the context of Pinterest in the way users find and 'pin' & share content and imagery. The article identifies that Pinterest may very well be stepping on the boundary of copyright infringement and that over time this might just become a bigger issue.
I think it would be very sad if Pinterest was extinguished by copyright law before really had chance to grow and blossom. So I for one will be keeping my fingers and toes crossed , watching to see what happens in the coming months. As they say "Watch This Space".

Hawaiian To Add Fleet Of Long-Range, Single-Aisle Aircraft
HONOLULU, Jan. 7, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Hawaiian Airlines today announced the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding with airframe manufacturer Airbus to acquire 16 new A321neo aircraft between 2017 and 2020, with rights to purchase an additional nine aircraft.
(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130107/LA37625)
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20040827/LAF044LOGO)
The long-range, single-aisle aircraft will complement Hawaiian's existing fleet of wide-body, twin-aisle aircraft used for long-haul flying between Hawai'i and the U.S. West Coast."Everyone at Hawaiian wants us to keep our position as the market leader in service quality, cost efficiency and choice of destinations. Ordering the A321neo will secure this legacy on routes to the U.S. West Coast beyond the middle of this decade," said Mark Dunkerley, president and CEO of Hawaiian Airlines. "The A321neo will be the most fuel-efficient aircraft of its type after its introduction in 2016. With its slightly smaller size we'll be able to open new markets that are not viable for wide-body service, while also being able to augment service on existing routes to the West Coast of North America." At 146-feet-long, the A321neo will seat approximately 190 passengers in a two-class configuration (First and Coach) and has a range of 3,650 nautical miles. The aircraft will offer the more comfortable seat widths found in the twin-aisle Airbus A330. Terms of the agreement were not disclosed, however, the aircraft have a total list-price value of approximately $2.8 billion if all of the purchase rights are exercised. The new acquisitions are also contingent upon Hawaiian signing new agreements with its pilots and flight attendant unions covering operation of the new aircraft type. If new agreements are reached, the fleet expansion is expected to generate roughly 1,000 additional jobs at Hawaiian. "This is a significant investment in the future of both Hawaiian and Hawai'i. Our tourism-based economy and local employment will benefit as we continue our strategy of diversifying our business while improving the efficiency of our operation," Dunkerley commented.

About Shrewsbury crime rates
According to NeighborhoodScout's analysis of FBI crime statistics, Shrewsbury is safer than 86% of the cities and towns in the US of all population sizes. In Massachusetts, only on the order of 11% of the communities have a lower crime rate than Shrewsbury. If you live in Shrewsbury, your chance of becoming a victim of crime in the community is 1 in 129. The US average across communities from the largest to the smallest is 1 in 31.
