Barack Obama, Ann Romney, Emmy voters, and nice people of all persuasions, you may want to skip the next paragraph, because I'm about to do something borderline illegal: I'm going to hate on Modern Family. Worse, I'm going to hate on Mitch and Cam, America's Favorite Gays Who Are Not Neil Patrick Harris.
I'm kidding, mostly. I don't hate them. I like the actors, and I'm happy to see same-sex couples on TV anywhere short of America's Most Wanted. But I can't be the only gay guy who wonders, at the end of every episode, why they're together. Because Mitch is Gay TV Archetype No. 1 responsible but repressed, fussy, and trapped in a permanent state of exasperation. And Cam is Gay TV Archetype No. 2 an OMG! Adorbs! Ka-WEEEEN! who's compelled to express every feeling he experiences on the scale of a Broadway musical; he's a giant arrested child with no sense of emotional proportion. Really, they're a couple? I watch them and flinch. I don't get it.
Mostly, though, I blame Modern Family for something that isn't its fault: Two new sitcoms, Partners and The New Normal, have taken the Mitch-and-Cam template and to swipe 2012's most overused political phrase doubled down on it. On The New Normal, about two gay men and the surrogate who's having their baby, the ''straight-acting'' one is a low-key gynecologist. But the ''gay-acting'' one is a shrill showbiz nitwit who's obsessed with his appearance and wants a child because baby clothes = FAB! He's what a doll invented by Bravo would be like. (As if to underscore his cartoonishness, Andrew Rannells has even been styled to look like an early-Pixar rendering of a person.) He is, however, not a sociopath, unlike the self-absorbed preener Michael Urie plays on Partners, who, in the pilot, ignores his (I assume long-suffering) nurse boyfriend while nearly destroying the romantic relationship of his straight business partner/best pal because ... well, that's unclear. Is he a busybody or a demented narcissist? Either way, who'd want to waste his time on a man-baby who requires two infinitely patient minders, a gay one at home and a straight one at work?
On both series, the redeeming lovability of these men is simply announced, never demonstrated. Rannells and Urie, both champion comic actors, do their best to sell it, playing the pair of twos they've each been dealt as if they're holding royal flushes in a celebrity poker final. They deserve something better than material that isn't new and isn't normal. The idea that in gay relationships one guy is the superego and one the impulsive id is retro and creepy, a theory out of discredited psychology or ''provocative'' 1950s Off Broadway theater. Besides, we've been here before, and better. When Will & Grace debuted in 1998, the mere existence of two gay characters on one show was fresh, and the contrast between Will and Jack was, at its best, transgressive. Keeping Will a bit neutered let the writers go to town with the finger-snapping, lusty, bitchy Jack, who embodied the notion that we'd finally moved far enough past stereotypes to wink at them a little.
But there's a fine line between playing with clichés and clinging to them. Whatever my issues with Mitch and Cam, they're granted the same dimensionality as Modern Family's other characters. They're human that's the real ''new normal.'' To see it done right, just check out Julie White's character on the Matthew Perry sitcom Go On; she's a wry, smart, middle-aged lesbian whose orientation is matter-of-factly woven into the scripts without being the only reason she's there. Low to middling ratings could imperil The New Normal and Partners, but if they fail, it won't be because people aren't ready for real gay characters, but because they are. Comedies that give gay men the spotlight only to turn them into shrieking caricatures are not, it turns out, adorbs.

Rafah Border Crossing, Israel (CNN) -- Strikes flew across the Gaza border in rapid succession Thursday, as Israel responded to an onslaught of militant rocket attacks by targeting "terror sites."
The sudden increase in violence has raised fears of a widening conflict that could lead to an Israeli ground assault. At least 196 rockets fired from Gaza have hit Israel "since Operation Pillar of Defense began yesterday," the Israeli military said. In response, the Israel Defense Forces said, it has targeted "156 terror sites." Sources with Hamas, which controls the government in Gaza, and Palestinian Islamic Jihad gave similar figures, saying more than 140 strikes have hit Gaza and that more than 160 rockets and shells have been fired into Israel. At least three Israelis were killed and four were wounded when a rocket struck an apartment building in the town of Kiryat Malakhi on Thursday, an Israeli police spokesman said. Thirteen people, including two children, were reportedly killed in airstrikes in Gaza on Thursday, said Dr. Asraf el-Qdra of Medical Aid for Palestinians. Of the casualties, nine were Hamas militants, he said. More than 120 people have been wounded since the Israeli strikes began this week in Gaza, the officials said. The violence comes after months of rocket attacks on southern Israel by Palestinian militants, Israel said. The U.N. Security Council held an emergency closed-door session late Wednesday about the crisis. International diplomats hope to stave off a repeat of Israel's widely condemned 2008 assault that saw its forces go into Gaza after a similar spate of rocket attacks by Palestinian militants. I am terrified at the thought of how this could escalate. Our thoughts go out to Batya and her family during this time. |

Follow-Up Postings:
Thank you. My son is down there now. You all should know that your media, especially CNN, rarely shows anything but Palestinian wounded. Our hearts go our to those families, who mostly only want a quiet life, same as us. They are the same as us, but you out in the world never see all the pictures. The south looks to be the hot spot "this time", and here in the north we probably won't go through what we went through in 2006, with over a month of daily bombs. This is because Hizbollah has no interest in escalating the northern border, as they are a bit busy with Syria and trying to control their power base in Lebanon. Hamas, on the other hand has a vested interest, as does the current Israeli government, in making sure that there is little progress, as both of them would lose their hawk power base. Sound familiar? The Hamas rockets have been pouring into southern Israel for months, with nary a peep from the world. An Israeli border tank on the Israeli side was blown apart last week and 4 wounded, and no international outrage. The Occupation, which is wrong on every level, gets all the coverage, and the smaller stories, the ones with people in them not governments, never get airtime. We, all of us, the people, are very tired. If you ask me, let's put the crazy Isamil Haniya in the same room with the crazy Netanyahu/Lieberman group, and let them duke it out, and please leave the rest of us alone. The propaganda on all the local(both Palestinian and Israeli) is god-awful and inflammatory, as usual. There is no good news yet. |

I've been thinking of you, Batya. And yes, in all this it will be the civilians- on both sides- who are going to be the ones suffering and dying as it always is. Humans will have to learn one day that when you fire off rockets or drop bombs from planes, the majority of people who are hurt or killed are civilians... the ones who want nothing to do with the stupid conflicts of powerful men who want OTHER people to die for their cause. |
Not always, cp. Sometimes, yes. For an Israeli newspaper with a healthy dose of criticism of the current government and its policies, try Ha'aretz English edition. You can read 10 free articles a month, after which you have to pay for an online subscription, but there is quite a lot of anti-current gov't writers who show the other Israeli voices. Al Jazeera is somewhat better than most Middle Eastern sources, however. Again, it's hard to be non-partisan here, mainly because no one will listen to you if you're not frothing at the mouth. |

The Hamas rockets have been pouring into southern Israel for months, with nary a peep from the world. 800+ rocket attacks from Jan to October alone. Then last week Hamas racheted it up. Then the inevitable retaliaton, then more rockets today, over 275, this time some near Tel Aviv. Now 30,000 reservists are being called up. There are no words that are good. If you ask me, let's put the crazy Isamil Haniya in the same room with the crazy Netanyahu/Lieberman group, and let them duke it out, and please leave the rest of us alone. The propaganda on all the local(both Palestinian and Israeli) is god-awful and inflammatory, as usual. There is no good news yet.

We, all of us, the people, are very tired. Amen. I agree, but I am also sorry you and so many others have to live like this. Many of my friends express the same sentiments. They are weary and don't want to send their sons in harms way or want anyone else's there but at the same time they don't want to have to live in fear -- that goes for both sides. . Batya thinkig of you and your son - stay safe. |

It's elections time, no wonder the timing. That said. The problem is that there is no justice. Once there is justice there will be peace. Uri Avnery's take -- "Operation Short Memory":Netanyahu counts on people not remembering that four years ago Israel went to war in Gaza, killing 1300 civilians in three weeks - which otherwise did not make any significant change in the situation. Netanyahu counts on people failing to remember that just yesterday morning the media reported on people in the communities of the South heaving a sigh of relief at the complete cessation of missiles from Gaza. . Did I get this right...it was Israel that broke the ceasefire? |
I wish for peace in your area, Batya, and around the globe. There's no reason to murder each other en mass. And for what, really? The greed and hatred of a select few. Stay safe... |
No Maddie, it's not cut and dry like that, and you really can't point to one "side" as who broke the cease fire. Around here cease fire is a relative term. There have been Hamas missiles flying into Israel on the Southern border for months, being launched off of the back of mobile trucks. The fact that you don't hear about them in the international media doesn't mean they aren't there - and they've been landing and exploding for months. The Israelis have been waging the exact same (albeit different) small scale, under the radar fight, all the while each saying it's the Other's fault. As to the timing, well, first be aware that I am the last person to be understanding or an apologist for Bibi and his ilk, but let's just set the record straight: The Israeli government has broken as many promises as have the Palestinian leadership. I'd say that's about the only thing they're even on! Both sides of leaders are masters of secret deals, talking out of both sides of their mouths, and promising one thing in private and another, often diametrically opposed, in public. You'd do well to check some of the more balanced news sources. One can always find fodder for partisan frothing at the mouth finger pointing, and one can always unfortunately find "proof" of the Other's perfidy. In this case, perfidy is rampant, no one is a boy scout, no one's hands are clean. Being able to see this - however it may upset your personal belief system - makes for more rational, fairer and ultimately more productive discourse. So, no, you did not get this right. |

God bless you Batya. |
Well anyway, it is time once again for Israel to use disproportionate force and for the World to remain silent. Let's see, 4 Israeli's killed should mean that Israel will kill a few hundred Palestinians, at least. |
I don't even know how to start to respond to your tone, much less your comment. Let's just say that the World remains silent on a great deal, every day, no matter who does the doing, and who it gets done to. And please forgive my cynicism, but if god would bless me, she/he'd give my son wings, to fly him out of danger, and let politics be damned. If god had a lick o' sense, he/she'd make sure that no government had the hubris to claim ownership of the Divine, and use it as holy bullets to shoot at our children. And they are all our children. So heri, if you wish to get a rise out of me, or goad me into defending the foolishness of this or that side, I'm not in the mood. |

Batya, you have a right to your cynicism. I can only send good thoughts your way and hope that a miracle will bring a permanent cease-fire to your part of the world. Hearing about the innocent civilians' deaths is heartbreaking. |
Thought this one seemed a bit balanced.... snip " To understand how we got here, why tension turned into confrontation, and why at this moment, we need answers to two questions. First, why did Hamas allow Gaza once again to become a rocket launchpad, given that it has successfully imposed quiet during various periods since 2009? And why did Israel choose to get tough now, given that it has been willing to respond more mildly to such provocations in the past? Start with Hamas. One reading assumes that Hamas was punished for its weakness, that it had proved itself no longer capable of reining in the more bellicose groups - Islamic Jihad and others - which operate on the territory it rules. The Haaretz editor, Aluf Benn, put that view starkly when he wrote that far from being a feared enemy, Israel's Osama bin Laden, Ja'abari was Israel's "subcontractor" in Gaza, charged with enforcing the de facto truce. When he stopped doing his job, he had to be removed: "The message was simple and clear: You failed : you're dead," wrote Benn, quoting a favourite saying of defence minister Ehud Barak: "In the Middle East there is no second chance for the weak." But it's equally possible that this was no accidental escalation by Hamas, born of incompetence, but rather an act of strength by the Islamist movement. A senior Israeli official told me that Israel had long been aware of Hamas's burgeoning military capacity, its hoard of rockets growing - before Wednesday - to some 11,000, closing on the 15,000-strong arsenal amassed by Hezbollah on the eve of 2006's Lebanon war. Much of this arms supply had come from newly lawless Libya - a "goldmine" says the official - the rest from Iran, before relations between Tehran and Hamas cooled. (Iran was angered when Gaza's rulers broke from Tehran's number one ally, the Assad regime.) Hamas's arm is now more muscled and with a longer reach, as it graphically demonstrated last night, when rockets landed perilously close to Israel's central city, Tel Aviv - the first missiles to do so since the Gulf war of 1991. But Hamas's new strength is diplomatic, as well as military. The Arab revolutions have redrawn the regional map, much of it in Hamas's favour. Once a pariah, Hamas now sees its own movement, the Muslim Brotherhood, ruling Egypt. Where Hosni Mubarak played broker between Israel and Gaza, often seeking to stay Hamas's hand, Cairo's new rulers feel a grassroots pressure to stand as the ally of Hamas. Witness the Egyptian president's swift despatch of his prime minister to visit Gaza on Friday. What's more, the Gaza-based leadership has been engaged in a power struggle with the Hamas politburo outside the Strip. Taking the fight to Israel, becoming "the tip of the spear," as analyst Hussein Ibish puts it, is Gaza-based Hamas's way of asserting its pre-eminence. What, though, of that second question: why did Israel hit back now? The Hebrew press immediately assumed the key date was political, not military: 22 January, when Israelis go to the polls. There are plenty of precedents for outgoing governments taking military action, hoping to create a wave of national unity that will carry them to victory: Cast Lead itself fits that pattern. Binyamin Netanyahu may well have wanted to push aside his Labor rival and prevent his predecessor, Ehud Olmert, making a planned comeback - forcing both to fall into line as patriotic cheerleaders. Similarly, Barak found a way to remind voters of his supposed indispensability. snip end quote My question would be where do these figures of how many missiles are in Gaza come from. I don't doubt the figures on how many have been fired, its the supposed stockpiles. Is this just Israel making them up to justify their assassination? And just how did 10,000 missiles get smuggled in / manufactured w/o Israel taking any preventive measures? Seems a bit of a stretch. |

It's so unfortunate that Batya's input was requested and she's subjected to snarky, biased comments. Batya, I feel your posts have been accurate and fair, thank you. I will keep your family in my thoughts. |
Batya, I hope you and especially your son stay safe. Just read Israel approved 75,000 ground troops. Hope Batya's son isn't among them. Anybody's son actually. Gazan death toll so far is 29. David, I too wondered how Hamas amassed all of those weapons,especially with the blockade in place. |
Need to add son or daughter is not among the troops. |
Thank you all. Yes, he is probably among them, but there is a "loose lips sink ships" info blackout on the exact details. That's why he has no phone it can be traced and his location pinpointed. As you can probably tell, this is a very left wing household, and we are supportive in every way of the anti-Netanyahu government. There is a ton if info out there, nearly all of it dismissive of the Other Side. The "ground action" is cocked and ready, and the troops are waiting. There are many voices here that are trying to prevent this action, and many people are writing, especially in Ha'aretz newspaper, that they are furious at the current government for letting things get to this point. Yes, there are many very nasty people out there who only want to see blood, and they will do atrocious things to goad Israel into be even more nasty, to set up a situation where no one is the winner except their own agenda. They are well funded, well armed and well connected to extremely well-oiled propaganda machines. There are others, here and in the States, that only want to claim every inch they can and make all those nasty Arabs go away, and will do anything they can to achieve their agenda. Both of them do it in the name of God, which is obscene. In the meantime, our sons and daughters are expected to fight other sons and daughters. It's quite true that Hamas and all the little, extremest jihadists love to put their military offices hiding under schools, hospitals and mosques. It's quite true that Hamas cannot control these smaller cells of terrorists who shoot when and where they want, effectively scuppering any plans their higher ups would like to agree on. It's quite true that they would get no money for schools, roads or clinics, they can only get international support if it's for weapons. It's true that any other country in the world would not stand quietly by while they are being bombed daiiy for months. |

Bravo, and once again, thank you. |
Why thank you althea! We met him here when he played for a benefit for young men who refused service and were jailed. Still waiting for the poobahs to decide on a ground war. Idiots, all of them. It's clear that it's the last resort, but Hamas won't stop the rockets, they keep shelling. For a cease fire, the shelling must stop and either Hamas can't or won't stop it. Idiots all. The boy is tired, worried, bored (the army's hurry up and wait) but we're devoutly hoping that the word won't be given. It's the last thing any of us, all of us, need. Thank you all for your prayers, thoughts and concern. |
Batya, I appreciate hearing an anecdotal perspective from a point much closer than ours. And especially a non-fanatical perspective. The nytimes shows photos of mourners at scenes of missile strikes both Israeli and Palestinian. If only those families could view each other in real time. |
- Posted by thegreatcob none (My Page) on Sun, Nov 18, 12 at 20:10
the reason the Israeli's struck back is the rocket fire increased 2 weeks before that the Hamas guy killed in first strike was responsible for the rocket fire. As for Gaza if they did not want war with Israel they should not elected Hamas as there government. the problem is all these ceasefires if the two sides have been allowed fight properly there would have been end by now. that is what it took to end conflict between the Tamil tigers in Sri Lanka. Wars have to have winner and loser. Or conflict is not resolved. |

Israel struck the homes of seven Hamas military officials today. They were the HOMES... the wives and children of these men are being killed simply because they are related. More "collateral damage" (AKA women and children who don't matter). This is the same thing that happened in Libya , where western forces bombed the homes of Ghaddafi family members....killing children, wives and grandchildren in hopes of hitting (or punishing?) Ghaddafi. Obama stated that no country of the world could be expected to sit back and do nothing while rocket rained down on their country day after day. Yes, I understand that and I agree. Israel should not have to live in fear of the constant rocket attacks. But again I am looking at a situation where the innocents are paying their price in blood, both Israeli and Palestinian, for the warmongering of powerful men. And not white men, surprise surprise. So much for the idea that only old white men are the root of all evil. |
But again I am looking at a situation where the innocents are paying their price in blood, both Israeli and Palestinian,for the warmongering of powerful men. Those men are probably arms merchants. They would be most threatened by a cease fire and peace. |

if there fathers are terrorists it is same if you father is mob boss soon later another monster takes the dad out or the FBI knocks down the door. When you plan terror you put you family on line. As for ceasefires Hamas has broken more then I can count and I have not tried. but when break a cease fire you have no expectation the you opponent will hold back. what surprises me is the Israeli's have held back so long. |
- Posted by hamiltongardener CAN 6a (My Page) on Sun, Nov 18, 12 at 21:48
what surprises me is the Israeli's have held back so long. I'm not necessarily disagreeing with you, cob. I admit that Israel does put up with a lot of attacks from Palestinians before it strikes back. What I disagree with is bombing civilians as a strategy. And when they aim for the homes of these Hamas leaders, they are pretty much guaranteed to kill the innocent wives, children or grandchildren of these guys. Or when they bomb a public place that civilians will be killed on the chance that they may kill their intended target. |
Batya., I have been reading and tryin to understand this conflict and I have a better understanding after your analysis. All I can say is stay safe, and pray your son comes home safe. It has to be hard living with this constant conflict. It has gone on for too many years. |
Batya, my thoughts are with you and your family. It's such a complicated situation, and I hope it's resolved without further escalation. |
"What I disagree with is bombing civilians as a strategy." Even though I am not at all supportive of Bibi/Barak et al and have vocally demonstrated my disquiet with their hawkish policies, here I must set the record straight. Remember I am not for one side or the other, but rather for the truth to be told about both (all) sides and the treachery practiced all arund. The Hamas strategy is to hide their military offices, weapons caches and high commanders under schools, mosques and hospitals. They have been doing this for years, and so when a weapons cache, for instance, is destroyed the civilian layer of innocent protection blows up with it. There they can then cry "You kill our civilians!" This is more than a strategy, they acknowledge this and insist that they do it so it will cost Israel in the propaganda wars when the pictures come out, and drown out the fact that the weapons below were saved for bombing Israeli schools. Yes, they say this to each other quite often, it just never reaches the international press. That's so you can be outraged too, without having any left over for buses that blow up in Haifa. The talking heads on the Israeli side have been stating publicly for days that they are resistant to giving the order for ground troops to go into Gaza specifically because they know that Palestinian civilians will be the first ones to suffer. Hamas know this, and will not stop shooting, specifically to force Israel to give that order, which will throw their own citizens under the bus in order to make the world think that they are poor, innocent victims.

Batya, my condolences on your personal and national troubles. Hard to believe that the Palestinian Arabs and Jews and other residents have been killing each other for most of my lifetime. I cannot remember when it was not so. Nothing will change in this war of attrition. |
batya, first of all, I'm so very sorry that your family and your country Are going through this. I cannot even imagine. My question is, if Israel stands down and does not respond, will Hamas stop the shelling of Israel? |
- Posted by hamiltongardener CAN 6a (My Page) on Mon, Nov 19, 12 at 12:43
The Hamas strategy is to hide their military offices, weapons caches and high commanders under schools, mosques and hospitals. They have been doing this for years, and so when a weapons cache, for instance, is destroyed the civilian layer of innocent protection blows up with it. Batya, I understand what you're saying and I know it's true. Hamas has no problem with using human shields for their weapons stores, etc. I wouldn't dispute that. But the latest bombings by Israel, they hit the Hamas leaders' homes knowing full well that families live in those homes. I'm not trying to minimize the role that Hamas plays and yes, the Palestinians also target civilians and families. I'm sorry if it sounded like I was trying to place all the blame on Israel. I condemn the targetting on innocents no matter WHICH side. Perhaps I'm just holding Israel to a higher standard of ethics. |
Maybe, at least the shooters that Hamas controls. The others? Probably not, and that is one of the problems. Nearly every interviewee/talking head here is advising against the ground war, also in Ha'aretz newspaper. I can't really disagree with a lot of the news article from Al Jazeera from the other thread, but again, it's complex and no one writer has all the angles. Israel has not responded to shelling for months, on the other hand, the military option on either side is worthless except for more fighting. I found this link, you might like it, I did. |

Oil and natural gas firm Comstock Resources Inc. ( CRK ) posted weak second quarter results due to lower natural gas prices. The predominantly natural gas-focused exploration and production company reported adjusted loss per share of 43 cents in the quarter, wider than the Zacks Consensus Estimate of a loss of 34 cents. Comstock's performance also deteriorated considerably from the year-ago adjusted loss of 4 cents per share. Total revenues - aided by strong production - were up 11.2% year over year to $125.0 million, in the process outperforming the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $107.0 million. Production Comstock's quarterly oil and gas production was up 6.0 % year over year to 25.4 billion cubic feet equivalent (Bcfe), of which 86.0 % was natural gas. The improvement was driven by a whopping 266.7% jump in oil volumes. On the other hand, Natural gas production decreased 4.8 % to 21.9 billion cubic feet (Bcf). Price Realizations Average price realization per thousand cubic feet equivalent (Mcfe), before hedging, was $4.02 in the quarter, down 14.3% year over year. Average oil price realization before hedging was $98.70 per barrel (versus $101.02 per barrel in second quarter of 2011) and average natural gas realization was $2.03 per Mcf (compared with $4.19 per Mcf in the year-earlier quarter). Comstock's high natural gas exposure raises its sensitivity to gas price fluctuations, compared to its more-diversified independent peers with a balanced oil/gas production profile. The company saw its results suffer on the heels of a sharp drop in gas prices. Costs & Expenses Gathering and transportation cost averaged 29 cents per Mcfe in the quarter, up 3.6% from the prior-year quarter, while production tax averaged 13 cents per Mcfe, up 116.7% year over year. Total operating expenses increased 24.1 % year over year to $129.1 million. Cash Flow & EBITDAX Comstock generated operating cash flow from continuing operations of $8.7 million, reflecting a decrease of 87.0% from the year-earlier quarter. On the other hand, quarterly EBITDAX (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, depletion, amortization, exploration expense and other non-cash expenses) was down 14.3% year over year to $74.6 million. Capital Expenditure & Balance Sheet As of June 30, 2012, Comstock had approximately $3.5 million in cash and cash equivalents and $1,223.2 million in long-term debt. Debt-to-capitalization was 54.0%. In second quarter of 2012, Comstock incurred $141.1 million on exploration and development drilling, while $7.9 million was spent on acquiring exploration fields. Recommendation & Rating Comstock's large acreage position in the prolific Haynesville Shale play (in East Texas and North Louisiana) - where industry heavyweights like Chesapeake Energy Corp. ( CHK ), Encana Corp ( ECA ) and Royal Dutch Shell plc ( RDS.A ) are also leaseholders - provides a multi-year inventory of low-risk development drilling opportunities. Supplemented with a robust balance sheet, Comstock remains well positioned to maintain a strong growth trajectory in the near- to medium-term. Management's guidance of a 5% production growth rate for 2012 is on the conservative side, in our view. We believe that the December 2011 acquisition of a sizeable acreage in the Delaware Basin in West Texas from Eagle Oil & Gas Co. will offer Comstock a low risk oil-focused production growth opportunity and expand its overall volumes. Despite being hampered by low natural gas prices, Comstock's strong drilling results and the divestiture of non-strategic assets are expected to improve the company's already high cost structure. As such, we see the stock performing in line with the broader market and maintain our long-term Neutral recommendation, supported by a Zacks #3 Rank (short-term Hold rating).

Wedding: 3/28/2014
My husband and I are not cake people plus our venue included dessert so we elected to go with tuxedo chocolate covered strawberries instead of a cake. Mountain Flour delivered the biggest, sweetest berries. Our guests raved about how delicious they were. Each one was perfect. They were very reasonably priced as well. I would recommend them to anyone!
Wedding: 9/9/2014
Our experience this past weekend with Mountain Flour was extraordinary. My daughter and her fiance wanted a cake that was different and yet very tasty. They found the perfect vendor to do just that. It was a wonderful cake and tasted so delicious - thanks to Shawn at Mountain Flour! We appreciate all of the details in the cake - so wonderful!
Wedding: 8/3/2013
Mountain Flour sold us at the cake tasting - didn't over whelm us by giving too many options. We went with the vanilla cake, lemon filling with fresh blueberries. Looking back, I almost think we should have gone with the vanilla cake with fresh strawberries we sampled at the tasting (it tasted like the best strawberry short cake I've ever had). Either way, delicious cake, although a bit expensive.
Wedding: 12/8/2012
I wanted my cake to look simple and elegant for my winter mountain wedding. And Mountain Flour did just that - with pine cones, dusted with powdered sugar. Cake flavors are limited, but our guests liked our choices I believe.
Shawn was awesome to work and delivered a beautiful and yummy 2 tiered wedding cake. Our budget was itty bitty and he helped suggest ways to deliver a beautiful (but smaller) wedding cake with a dessert buffet v. a huge wedding cake. The cake was light and full of flavor, a real gourmet treat, relative to some wedding cakes I've tried. He also coordinated w/ our venue to get servewear for the dishes. I would highly recommend them!
Wedding: 8/27/2011
I was not planning on having a Wedding cake, but simply wanted an assortment of desserts for my guests. Shawn, with Mountain Flour, was able to offer a wide variety of bite sized desserts to choose from, at a reasonable price. While at the shop choosing our desserts, my husband and I fell in love with an adorable 2 tierd cake that had mountains and a little cabin on top. Since this was a non-traditional cake, it was perfect for our mountain Wedding, and was delicious too! Thanks Shawn!
Wedding: 8/6/2011
The cake and service were awesome! We provided a picture and got just what we wanted! Sean was great to work with. Highly recommend them!
Wedding: 9/4/2010
Here's the story in a nutshell: We sent Shawn a picture of how we wanted both cakes (bride's & groom's). For one, I sent a bridal cake, for the other, our college logo we wanted. We'll start with the groom's - Shawn called me FIVE DAYS prior to the wedding to tell me he couldn't make the cake we wanted, and then proceeded to tell me I only sent him the logo SEVEN days prior to the wedding (which is a complete lie, since we showed him the logo when we HIRED him 10 months before the wedding). When we agreed on a different design, it was nothing like we'd discussed - it looked like a plastic logo glued on top of a cake, and the logo was even too LARGE for the cake - it hung over the edges! And the edges were horrific, just pressed with crushed almonds. It looked awful - considering what we paid. I could've gotten a nicer cake at a grocery store.
As for the bride's cake - I regret that I trusted his "expertise and judgment" on that one, but I will take that blame. What I am irate about is that the damask pattern was SMEARED on the cake, and he attributed that to the change in temperature when the cake was delivered...??? Honestly, if you're a professional, I refuse to believe that was the ONLY time that's happened. He actually told me that he "had a picture on my cell phone before I delivered it, and it wasn't smeared".
Basically, I told him this: The cakes looked like he ran out of time and had to throw something together at the last minute. (Hence the Tuesday phonecall about the groom's cake, etc.)
Had we paid less that $900 for these cakes, perhaps we wouldn't be so angry. Do NOT trust him to help design your cake - tell him exactly what you want WITH A PICTURE, and don't give him any liberty or free reign on the design. You will be disappointed. They tasted fine, though.
Wedding: 10/10/2010
My cake was what I wanted. Mountain Flour is a little hard to get in touch with sometimes.
Wedding: 8/14/2010
Mountain Flour was incredibly professional, punctual, and easy to work with. Our cakes were delicious and ordering our cake was probably the easiest part of the whole planning process. Mountain Flour delivered exactly what was promised (actually better than expected!)
Wedding: 7/4/2009
Mountain Flour was very easy to work with and created a beautiful cake for our wedding. I gave them a picture of what I wanted and they created it almost perfectly. I would have appreciated more communication the day of the wedding, as I would have liked the decorater to put more flowers on the cake before they left, but it was beautiful none the less. The cake tasted good, but everyone enjoyed the chocolate covered strawberried more.
Wedding: 9/13/2008
Very easy to work with. I gave him a general idea and trusted his portfolio and experience. We were not disappointed!! The cake turned our better than I could have imagined and it tasted wonderful. Chocolate with chocolate ganache and fresh raspberries in the filling :)

WASHINGTON, January 23, 2013 — Baltimore's M&T Bank Stadium will again host soccer in 2013. The Baltimore Ravens venue has been chosen as one of the 13 stadiums to host the games of the 2013 CONCACAF Gold Cup. RFK Stadium in Washington, which has traditionally hosted Gold Cup games, was excluded.
The Gold Cup is a regional tournament, taking place every two years and involving 12 national teams from the Confederation of North, Central America and Caribbean Football Association (CONCACAF). This year's event will be held from July 7-28, 2013.
Mexico and the United States are usually the early favorites to win. Mexico has won the last two events (2011, 2009) with the U.S. winning the two previous cups (2007, 2005). Canada (2000) is the only team to win the event other than Mexico and the U.S. since the tournament began in 1991.
In 2011, Mexico downed the U.S. team 4-2 before 93,000 at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, Calif., after the Americans took an early two-goal lead.
Gold Cup games will be played for the first time in six new cities, including Atlanta, Baltimore, Denver, Hartford, Portland, and Salt Lake City. Houston and Miami return to host the tournament for the 5th and 9th time consecutive time, respectively.
Eleven of the twelve participating national teams have qualified for this year's tournament. They include: Belize, Canada, Costa Rica, Cuba, El Salvador, Haiti, Honduras, Martinique, Mexico, Trinidad and Tobago, and the United States.
The final spot will be decided on Friday in the fifth-place match of the 2013 UNCAF Copa Centroamericana between Guatemala and Panama, which is being held in Costa Rica.
2013 CONCACAF Gold Cup Host City & Venue list:
(In alphabetical order by host city)
• Atlanta – Georgia Dome (Atlanta, Ga.)
• Baltimore - M&T Bank Stadium (Baltimore, Md.)
• Chicago – Soldier Field (Chicago, Ill.)

Andy Carroll admitted to leaving White Hart Lane with mixed feelings after Sunday's 3-1 Barclays Premier League defeat by Tottenham Hotspur.
The striker bagged his first goal for West Ham United with a towering header, but it was no more than a consolation as Spurs completed a deserved victory. Carroll's occasional England strike partner and former Hammer Jermain Defoe scored twice either side of a low finish from Gareth Bale.
Speaking exclusively to West Ham TV, the No8 said he was happy to have broken his duck after eight impressive yet goalless appearances, but that his maiden goal meant little in the context of the final result.
"It was about time, to be honest," said Carroll. "I'm just grateful to have got off the mark and hopefully there will be more to come this week.
"I think I've put myself about and been involved in our goals in previous matches. I think I've been doing well so it was about time one went in. It was a great ball in by Joey O'Brien and I just had to get up and head it across the 'keeper. That's what I did and thankfully it went in."
Spurs were the better side for much of the opening hour and, having already escaped when Bale's shot cannoned off the underside of the crossbar, West Ham fell behind when Defoe streaked away from Winston Reid and Mark Noble before finishing a minute before half-time.
Into the second half and Clint Dempsey hit the crossbar before Bale latched on to the American's through ball and poked a low shot past Jussi Jaaskelainen on 58 minutes. Just four minutes later, Defoe doubled his tally when Mohamed Diame was robbed in midfield by Aaron Lennon, who squared for the striker to score from close-range.
"It was disappointing as we made mistakes for all three of their goals, really," Carroll observed. "We should have done better, but they have taken their chances and obviously beat us.
"Coming here we were up against a great team and they showed that tonight with the passing, the rhythm and the pace they have got in their team. I have to say we were just disappointed with our mistakes because they cost us."
While everybody connected with West Ham will be feeling downcast after losing out to their biggest rivals, Carroll said there is no time to dwell on Sunday's defeat.
Instead, the 23-year-old is relishing Wednesday evening's trip to Manchester United and Saturday's visit of Chelsea to the Boleyn Ground. While he knows neither game will be easy, Carroll said the prospect of facing the country's best teams is part of what being a Barclays Premier League club is all about.
"We have got a tough week, obviously, with Manchester United and then Chelsea and Liverpool coming up. It'll be tough so we just have to put this behind us now and focus on Wednesday.
"Of course, the big games are what everyone looks forward to, but tonight was disappointing and we just have to put it behind us now and get ready for the Manchester United game. This game is all gone now so we're going to have to concentrate 100 per cent on Wednesday, which is going to be another tough game."

Nate pays final respects to Lisa
I'll admit it: I frequently found Lisa Fisher (Lili Taylor) -- with her nutty twiggy eating habits and reluctance to flush the toilet -- vaguely annoying. It's always discomforting to have that reaction to someone whom you suspect is a much better person than you are. And it wasn't entirely reassuring that her husband, Nate, seemed to share my mild dislike for her. So when she disappeared and was presumed dead, I shrugged it off as a convenient, even fortuitous, plot twist.
But after the season premiere of ''Six Feet Under,'' in which Lisa's grim fate was revealed to the rest of the family (with, thankfully, a minimum of gore), I found myself feeling truly sorry for the granola girl. Her life, as short as it was, certainly wasn't filled with joy from what we could see: a ''hydra'' of a mother, a shrew of an ex-boss, and finally, a wishy-washy husband who never stopped loving another woman. That she not only met with an early end, but one which left her body dental-records-necessary mutilated, seemed just plain unfair.
I don't even want to think about how she drowned, although I'm sure that will be yet another bit of bad news revealed in a future episode (I'm wondering if her missing limbs are the work of sharks or other, two-legged predators). Heck, even the ugly moment when David stuck her shrimp-nibbled remains into the mortuary van only for both David and Nate to be overwhelmed with her noxious scent seemed like another cruel joke at Lisa's expense.
So when Lisa's buttoned-up mother and seemingly personality-free father arrived with plans to stick her cremated remains in a cold marble crypt, I found myself rooting for Nate to leap across the table and slap both of them back to the Stone Age. How could they not see that Lisa, being the tree hugger that she was, wanted only to be buried under a willow somewhere? Really, her body had already met the fate she had hoped for it -- as fish food. Too bad those kids strolling the beach called the authorities instead of just pushing her back into the current.
Last season Nate's mood swings and inability to find happiness in his marriage were often understandable, but more often infuriating. However, I suspect that Nate-the-sullen-whiner was buried with Lisa in this episode. His brief interlude with Brenda showed nothing of the hormonal teenager he'd been with her in the past, but a grieving man seeking momentary comfort, no matter how fleeting. That he had the presence of mind to ask Brenda not to attend Lisa's funeral, and that Brenda gracefully accepted that decision, suggests these two may be able to make a fresh, mostly sane go of it someday. Depending on how things work out with Brenda's new beau Joe (Justin Theroux), of course.
I like Joe. He feeds cats, he brings over Chinese food without asking, he plays the freakin' French horn. So why do I feel like everything in Brenda's new relationship is set up to go horribly wrong in a few episodes? Maybe because it's really hard to dump a guy who can peek in your windows at any time of the day -- or maybe it's because, in Fisher World, someone so darn normal seems like the real freak show. Given that Theroux has a history of playing bad guys, I can only hope some sort of mild weirdness bubbles to the surface just to make Brenda feel at home.
Though Claire kicked off the episode with a self-absorbed rant railing against Nate and the general awfulness of her life, her scenes were a worthy reminder of why life really can suck when you're young and confused. Alone in a house full of tortured lovers, she knew only one person who could understand her pain: the guy who caused it. And, of course, her meeting with Russell spiraled downward with Drano efficiency. Also being young and REALLY confused, Russell made Claire's abortion all about him. And in the end, Claire felt more alone than when she started. Let's hope that at least she ''breaks her eye'' open and gets some great artistic vision from this ''f---ing awful'' mess.
On the bright side, things are looking up, sort of, for David and Keith. Even though their latest ''starting over'' conversation ended on an up note, I'm still taking it with a grain of salt. Short of a sit-down with Dr. Phil, I don't really see how these two will ever get over their tendency to bicker about, well, everything. At least they aren't quite as joyously (and obnoxiously) happy as Ruth and George. Besides the fact that they're waking up the whole family with their wails of coital bliss, their happiness still rankles so soon after Lisa's death. But maybe I'm being too tough on Ruth. Not only does she deserve some happiness, she might be able to spread it around. After all, she was the only Fisher to give Nate a damn hug after he revealed that Lisa's body had been found. She may be goofy in love, but I say she's onto something.

Hi Pat,
If you create a switch for the Map Classic workspace, you shall remain ribbonless.
Please let me know if for some reason you experience different results.
I just tried it and it opened with the Map Classic workspace but still with the ribbon.
Screen shot attached
Hi Pat,
In your startup switch, do you have a switch to load the ribbonoff script? I've attached the script here, you just need to save it in the default script file location, change the extension from "txt" to "scr", and add a startup switch to run it. I posted instructions for the switch earlier on this thread. If the command line "ribbonclose" command works on your system, then the script should as well.
Getting closer, but still a problem.
Here is the target I am using.
/w "Map Classic Workspace" /b "ribbonoff". It works, but only once, then it fails.
For example if I open Map after turning the computer on, it opens with the correct workspace and the ribbon turned off. If I close MAP and open it again, the ribbon is back on.
If I tag the shortcut to a preexisting Map file with the /w "Map Classic Workspace" /b "ribbonoff", it doesn't work unless it is the first thing I open.
I probably missed something in your instructions, or possible there is something else ging on with the script file, such as it only gets to run at the first opening of MAP. I see that the Tools>Run Script has different folder targets depending on what file I am opening, and it ends up being the same folder as the dwg. Can the scr target folder be fixed somehow. I don't see a way to set it in the Tools>Options>Files.
Hi Pat,
I've run across the same problem trying to find out if there is a default location for script files. I can't seem to confirm one through the user documentation; maybe Phil from product support can help with that? I did run across an article about ACAD 2005 written by Lynn Allen (http://www.cadalyst.com/cad/autocad/startup-switch
Hi again,
I looked into this a bit more and found something that should work. Under Tools>Options, select the Files tab and maximize the "support file search path." This should show you a listing of all file paths that Map is looking at to get any support files. You should be able to copy the script file into any of these folders and have it work.
Alternately, if your IT people are as paranoid as mine and you don't have write privileges to the "program files" directory, you have the option to add a new support file path (see the image I attached). When you click on add, it will start a new entry and you just type in the file path. For my test, I created a new folder here "C:\Script Files", then I removed the ribbonoff script from "my documents" and put it in the new folder. Now, when I open CAD it recognizes the new folder and finds the script file with no problems. I think this should work for you.
I think that there will still be problems if you try to open a drawing from the file without launching CAD first. When I right click on any of my actual DWG's, they are set to be opened by the "AutoCAD DWG Launcher." This "launcher" does not run through all of the command switches that you set in your desktop shortcut, so it will not load to any specific workspace or using any script files. Instead, it will open in whatever the last view that you saved it it was (ie: if the ribbon was on when you saved, then it will still be on when you open it).
This sounds all too familiar to me. I got several users with 2012_SP1 installed who prefer to use the old time tool bars rather than the ribbons, so we have created ribbonless workspaces for them and added the /w switch to the start-up, but even though they get their workspace loaded correctly, they still get a ribbon appear at the top of it all. It's very frustrating. SP1 simply didn't fix this correctly.
Did you try the additional - /w "Map Classic Workspace" /b "ribbonoff" along with the script file described above? For me it works, but only once, then it fails.
I am using this post as this issue is not resolved in Map 3D 2013 32 bit in Win 7 Pro 32 bit. I am using the ribbonoff script as described previously. There also seems to be an issue with TILEMODE. I use an acaddoc.lsp file and today I added (command "TILEMODE" 1) and that is also ignored, or over written after acaddoc executes.
Attached is my text window history when acad starts. My desktop shortcut has /w "Left", /p "Left" and /b "ribbonoff". I have both a profile and a workspace called "Left". As a test I added (command "_SCRIPT" "ribbonoff") to my acaddoc file. It works but after acad is loaded and ready to open a file, the ribbon is on and I am in layout 1 of drawing 1.
The Product Version is G.114.0.0 HF1. I have downloaded SP1 32 bit but when I run it I get the error as attached.

One more "unique" part of the Disney fan community subculture is the phenomena of decorating your stateroom door. I knew I wanted to get in on the action, but I'm not terribly artistic. Here's how I made mine, your mileage may vary.
Step 1: Get Designs. Both the Creative DISigns and Disney Cruise section of the DIS have wonderful people who have great designs that can be personalized. I sincerely hope my readers are not stupid enough to try to profit from other people's designs.
Step 2: Personalize. I used Picasa for this-I added basic text such as either my username or real name. For extra Disney flair, use Waltograph.
Step 3: Print your pictures. I originally bought the magnetic paper from Staples, but decided I did not want to waste that much printer ink. I opted to print my pictures out using Snapfish, and pick them up at my local Walgreens.
Step 4: Assemble your materials. In addition to your pictures, you will need a few things: Something to laminate your photos with, this step is optional, but I like the extra sturdiness insurance. You can buy self-laminating sheets at Staples. However, I opted to pick up clear contact paper at that exclusive crafting boutique, Dollar Tree. One is a dollar, one is a lot more. For glue, I went with "craft glue" from aforementioned crafting boutique. Magnet wise, I used a couple of old advertising magnets and cut up my magnet sheets. I had bought little "locker" magnets at Dollar Tree as well. (Why is it called Dollar Tree if I never spend just a dollar there?)
Step 5: Assembly. Cut out a piece of clear contact paper twice the height of your picture. Remove backing. Place picture face down. Fold over contact paper.
Step 6: Place now-laminated picture face down. Cover back with craft glue. Place on magnet.
Step 7: Let dry. Voila, you have door magnets!
Yes, I know I am an utter hypocrite for decorating my door. C'est la vie.

A video that SonicXtreme helped us make showcasing two of the maps and the finished mod. Metroid Station - based on Ceres Station is a direct copy of Derelict from Halo PC with Tallon IV in the sky. Tallon IV Overworld - You've seen it before, you've probably even played it before, but it's modified to better suit gameplay for Oddball and CTF. Supports all gametypes now, as well! Biggest deal with our mod is that unfortunately, we had to drop the morphball. You may have read this before, but I'm just reconfirming it. It just won't work with the engine, and I have a feeling a lot of players would abuse it anyways. Regardless, it's tons of fun, and we can't wait to bring it out for you guys next weekend! I'll post then! Check out the site later tonight for more info! [url]http://www.playmetroidonline.com[/url]

The Sign Trilogy is an original animation that I am currently writing and directing. It is loosely based off of the Metroid video games, and at one point was going to be a tribute to it. But I thought that it would turn out better if I used original characters, and that way I would avoid any legal action. So any way I hope that you enjoy this short preview of Sign Episode One.

Imagine a scenario where a professional web designer gave you some pre-defined templates, which enabled you to drop in the text, images and other elements required to create your own professional website?
On the Mac, this is relatively easy. There are software developers falling over themselves to offer you software that ships with professional templates that enables you to drop in your content. Better still, if you can't find a template you want from within the software, there are many third-party providers who are providing alternative templates or even a unique design.
Xara Web Designer is a brand new WYISWYG web design tool for the Windows platform that enables you to quickly and easily design your own homepage. You can start from scratch or from one of the many supplied templates. Drop in the text and other elements you require and then simply publish directly to your server.
Xara Web Designer ships with a range of tools that enable you to enhance the elements on your page. Fancy adding a shadow to a photo? Simply click on the photo, choose the Shadow Tool and move the shadow to the desired location.
This is an excellent application for designing your own website, particular if like the idea of doing it yourself. One downside is that, unlike say Rapidweaver on the Mac, you can't simply change the templates on the fly. Remember to choose your template before you start creating your first page.

The most famous American fanfare is Hail to the Chief. Next comes Aaron Copland's thumping huff and puff in honor the "the Common Man." Most fanfares are brilliant, some even aggressive (etymologists disagree whether the word "fanfare" is onomatopoetic or actually connected with the verbal family that gives us "fanfaronade," meaning blustering and bragging behavior), though John Adams has also explored the possibilities of the restrained and pianissimo fanfare (in his Tromba lontana).
Short Ride in a Fast Machine is a joyfully exuberant piece, brilliantly scored for a large orchestra. The steady marking of a beat is typical of Adams's music. Short Ride begins with a marking of quarter-notes (woodblock, soon joined by the four trumpets) and eighths (clarinets and synthesizers); the woodblock is fortissimo and the other instruments play forte. Adams sees the rest of the orchestra as running the gauntlet through that rhythmic tunnel. About the title: "You know how it is when someone asks you to ride in a terrific sports car, and then you wish you hadn't?"
Short Ride in a Fast Machine features the usual minimalist earmarks: repetition, steady beat, and, perhaps most crucially, a harmonic language with an emphasis on consonance unlike anything in Western art music in the last five hundred years. Adams is not a simple—or simple-minded—artist. His concern has been to invent music at once familiar and subtle. For all of their minimalist features, works such as Harmonium, Harmonielhere, and El Dorado are full of surprises, always enchanting in the glow and gleam of their sonority, and bursting with the energy generated by their harmonic movement.

The investigation into actress Natalie Wood's 1981 drowning death was reopened In November 2011. Since then Los Angeles coroner's office has officially removed the word "accidental" from Wood's death certificate, and changed her cause of death to "drowning and other undetermined factors." See the case in photos.
A new report released by the Los Angeles coroner adds a new twist to the case of the mysterious death of actress Natalie Wood, who was found drowned in the waters off the coast of Southern California in 1981.
