Welcome to Mexico Votes 2006, a daily dose of news and analysis on Mexico's hotly contested presidential race. The July 2 election is the first to be held since 2000, when Vicente Fox's National Action Party (PAN) knocked the longruling Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) from power for the first time since 1910. While Fox's ascension marked a historic shift in government, many of his campaign pledges of reform - among them a new economy and a major crackdown on crime and corruption - remain unfulfilled. Five candidates are now competing to replace him.

HOUSTON, July 14 -- Qatar and ExxonMobil Corp. subsidiary ExxonMobil Qatar GTL Ltd. have entered into a heads of agreement (HOA) for ExxonMobil to build a $7 billion, gas-to-liquids (GTL) project at Ras Laffan Industrial City in Qatar, a project ExxonMobil claims would be the world's largest single, fully integrated GTL project.
A 25 year development and production-sharing agreement (DPSA) will go into effect at the start of production, which is planned for 2011.
ExxonMobil, which would use its patented AGC-21 GTL technology in the plant, will provide 100% of the projected capital cost. It also will design, construct, and perform all petroleum operations, including development and production of enough gas, associated liquids, and other hydrocarbons to meet the plant's proposed 154,000 b/d capacity.
About 50% of the plant's production will be sulfur-free diesel (less than 10-15 ppm), about 20% high-quality lube base stocks, and the balance naphtha and other products.
ExxonMobil will drill an appraisal well for the GTL project this year, and will supplement the preliminary front-end engineering and design (pre-FEED) undertaken earlier. FEED is expected to begin upon execution of the DPSA.
This project, which has been under consideration by Qatar Petroleum and ExxonMobil for some time, follows other recent announcements of GTL projects planned for Ras Laffan such as Qatar Shell GTL's plans for a $5 billion GTL plant (OGJ Online, Oct. 21, 2003), a proposed ConocoPhillips-Qatar Petroleum Co.-sponsored world-scale GTL plant (OGJ Online, Dec. 9, 2003), and the more-recently announced study by Qatar Petroleum-Sasol Chevron Consulting Ltd. to assess the feasibility of a $6 billion expansion of the Oryx GTL plant to 100,000 b/d,which is planned to start up in 2009 (OGJ Online, Mar. 24, 2004).

performance art
noun (Concise Encyclopedia)Art form that arose in Europe and the U.S. in the 1960s. The term describes an art that is live but operates outside the traditional conventions of theatre or music. Early examples represented a challenge to orthodox art forms and cultural norms by creating an ephemeral art experience that could not be captured or purchased.

How To: Installing an Airport Extreme Card in an Intel Mac Pro
Installing an Apple Airport Extreme Card in a Intel Mac Pro is not considered by Apple to be a user installed option so you'll find little or no instructional help from Apple.
It's not a job for the timid. You'll need a steady hand and patience. It will also help if you have small fingers. It's difficult mainly due to the cramped space and small parts involved.
I purchased my intel Mac Pro from Apple as a refurbished unit and it didn't have the 802.11b/g/n Airport Extreme Card installed as a factory option. I wanted this capability, so I purchased a compatible Airport Extreme (802.11n) from FastMac and did it myself.
Disclaimer: Here's the procedures I followed. Use them at your own risk. It worked for me but I'm not responsible for any damages you might do to your computer.
Instructions for Installing a Airport Extreme Card in an Intel Mac Pro:
1. Lift the rear latch and remove the side panel of the Mac Pro.
2. Place the Mac Pro on it's side on a desk or workbench where you can have easy access. Note the location where the new Airport Extreme Card will be installed.
3. Remove hard drive bays 1 & 2 to give yourself some extra room. The latch in the back that was used to remove the side panel will have to remained released to remove the drives bays. The drive bays pull straight out once this latch is released.
4. Note the mounting points for the Airport Extreme Card. The card slot is spring loaded so when you put the card in the rear of the card will be elevated above the two rear mounting tabs.
5. Gently push the Airport Extreme Card into the mounting slot leaving the rear slightly elevated.
6. Carefully press down the rear of the card and insert the two mounting screws. A small magnetic screwdriver may be of help here. Locate the two WiFi antenna leads stored in the area above the cards mounting location and attached them to the two antenna post on the card. There will also be a bluetooth antenna lead in that same area. Inserting these screws and attaching the antenna leads is the most difficult part of this install due to the limited space and the small size of the parts involved. Be patience and careful not to force things.
7. Slide the two hard drive bays back into their correct slots. Double check everything and remount the side panel.
8. Reconnect the Mac Pro to the keyboard, mouse, monitor and network and boot. On the Apple Menu check "About this Mac" to confirm that the Airport Extreme card is being recognized.
9. Go to System Preferenced/Network and configure your new Airport Extreme card.
10. Download and install the Airport Extreme Enabler from Apple in order to use the card in 802.11n mode. Reboot you Mac Pro.
11. You're finished! Enjoy your new WiFi capabilities.

I visited "for real" this past trip. Every time I went before, I'd just blow through the houses and come out the other side. This time, for the first time, I played with everything in Minnie's house, including all of the kitchen props. I didn't take many pictures, though I was never really a fan of the area, much less the current dumbed-down version that it has become over the years. Minnie and Mickey were together in the Judge's Tent, which was a nice surprise... first time I had experienced that. In the county fair tent, where they once had three seperate lines for different genres of meet-n-greet characters, they had two lines, one for Princesses and one for Fairies. To me, same thing. How about one fairy (does anyone actually know or care about any of the others besides Tinkerbell?) and two princesses in one line, and then have other characters in a different line. Oh well, there goes the 'neighborhood'.

This was good--everyone really liked it. The cooking method was perfect--the meat was cooked just right. As for the rub, it was good, but I think I could do better. This recipe definitely got me thinking about how I'd do it next time. The methodology is just right--so this is the kind of recipe you can make your own. I didn't find Szechuan peppercorns and used regular black peppercorns--I'd recommend cutting back as I thought the pepper overpowered the other spices.
Boooooring. There are so many better things to do with a million dollars worth of meat!

Now let's be clear. It has nothing to do with Ryan having magic powers, there are no Ford elves, and this isn't an elaborate scheme in collaboration with the DMV.
Actually, the whole thing was Joel's idea and Ryan—being the nice guy that he is—just wanted to help him get what he asked for. Watch how everything went down here:

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Unlimited Drive!
Facts about Unlimited Drive
- Breed: Greyhound
- Color: White - With Brown Or Chocolate
- Age: Adult
- Size: Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
- Sex: Male
Unlimited Drive's Info...
I am already neutered, housetrained, purebred, and up to date with shots.
Hunter is a 2 year old x-racing Greyhound. He is being fostered in a home and learning all about retirement. Hunter went through an obedience cell program.
Other Pets at Greyhound Rescue Foundation of Tennessee
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Unlimited Drive, a Knoxville Greyhound dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Greyhound for sale in Knoxville, or seeking a Greyhound dog from a breeder in Knoxville.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Knoxville already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Knoxville breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Greyhound breeders who help with Greyhound rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Knoxville paves the way for another one to be saved.

Comments Made During the Contest
Ali Barr (Level 4)
Wow, great job. I really thought this was going somewhere else and you totally fooled me right up to the payoff. It's funny how things you would say to a baby in that situation become really creepy when it is to an adult. The main question is how you plan to direct your director in this. You mention some action for Kevin like craning his neck and looking up. Eleanor moving to his legs etc. Are you planning on seeing an adult actor at any point or just hearing his voice and then the surprise ending? That is the challenge that I would like to know a little more on this one. The story is good and funny as well as scary, now how do you recommend pulling it off visually? Do you have a preference that you want the director to follow or will you leave it up to him/her to interpret it and modify in order to film it?
Annie Hunt (Level 2)
I had to read this several times to get what was really going on. Now that I get it. I think the plot just doesn't work for me. At first, I wasn't sure if this was a man inside a baby and I still don't know. The one thing I did like was the mental dialogue.
Aralis Bloise (Level 4)
Hahaha! That was a great ending! Did not see that twist coming. This would make a really cute short and its for sure something that you could shoot easily and inexpensively. If anything I would say tweak the action a little bit, because even though I got that you meant to be vague because Kevin can't see what's going on and we are looking throught his POV, when you first read it, it just seems like you skippeed over details. I would actually put in the action something like:Kevin's POV, still blurry: Eleanor disappears, returns a few seconds later brandishingsome menacing, albeit undistinguishable objects.
Ashley White (Level 3)
I thought that this was pretty good. It is definitely an original idea, that's for sure. I am assuming that all Eleanor heard was a baby screaming and crying. I went through it a second time thought you did a good job with Eleanor's dialogue. She was answering Kevin's questions, but actually she was just talking to a baby.
Bill Delehanty (Level 4)
Kevin's dialogue sounds way too direct, there's almost no subtext.So this is a sick version of a circumcision involving the kids parents? I think it might be a little scarier if it were people Kevin did not know. The action lines were very well done though, but I'm still a little confused about the "twists" and whatnot.
Caroline Coxon (Mod Emeritus)
Very, very good. The only thing that bothered me about it was Kevin's voice - what would it be? Was it a baby voice? Was it in his head? I did enjoy it a great deal. I think it stretches the boundaries of what horror might be(but then I'm a girlie and not sensitive about circumcision-type butchery!)At first I thought of Hard Candy.My disappointment was the last line. WOOOOOMPH! I knew that without being told it.
Charles Bonet (Level 3)
This script was like Look Who's Talking meets Misery. An interesting combination to say the least. A nice idea and a nice twist at the end. But I see this more as a dark comedy and not a horror script. The visual descriptions were well done but the dialogue was awkward, it didn't ring true for me. I don't think this was a bad script, just not my cup of tea.
Chris Keaton (Level 5)
Hah! This was great. It seemed like a horror until the reveal, but I'm not going to dock you for that. It was a creative piece with a satisfying twist. You get a VG from me.
Chris Messineo (Founder)
Totally awesome twist ending. Brilliant idea.I didn't see it coming at all and it was wonderful to come across a comedy/horror.Very well done.
David Birch (Level 5)
i'm not sure how much this will score on the "horror" scale but the twist at the end had me laughing...decent dialog which helped to move the story and set up your finish...gives a whole other meaning to the term "CUT TO:"...thanks
Elias Farnum (Level 5)
I was going to say I think it would be a little less abrupt if Kevin had some memory of prior events, but what could you remember? I was powering down some gerbers? lolI can't see these "menacing, but indistinguishable objects." If they are indistinguishable, how do I know they are menacing? Are they pointed? pincer-like? You could say something like that and clear it up. Probably a minor thing. And the title needs expanding, too generic and plain. There are a ton of adjectives out there.I was already chuckling before the reveal, which btw, cemented the story together just fine. It was a bit unnecessary for the father to tell us it was a circumcision. That should be obvious, at least it was to me. A lighthearted transition from the pure ugliness that the horror has brought out in most of the entries I've read thus far. Very Good.
Erin Arbogast (Level 3)
I didn't think I liked it... until it switched from Kevin's point of view, then I LOVED it! What a great twist. You had a really creative take on this month's challenge and I think you did very well.
Faith Friese Nelson (Level 5)
There is no location slug-line when the SP begins. In fact, there is no slug line until page three. How will the director know where to stage this scene?Other than the missing slug-line, I liked this story. Good job!
Geoff Willis (Level 3)
Being totally in mystery about Kevin's appearance, and then ending up being a two day old infant? Grammar and punctuation issues. Why put "Shouts" in perentacies, and then put explanation marks behind his words? Drop the "Shouts" all together.
Herman Chow (Level 5)
Hahaha.....that's some creativity! I don't know how many people expected that ending, I certainly did not. Kudos to that. This would make a nice and short comedy skit.However, this is a screenplay contest afterall, and screenplays need to have a story. Too bad this one doesn't have a story, just a situation.Kevin's dialogue should be completely V.O. because 1) Kevin cannot be seen in Kevin's POV, and 2) his dialogues are all in his head, no one can hear him.Other than that, I think your script has the most gut-kicking ending out of all scripts that I've read so far.
Jacob Guerra (Level 4)
This one made me smile, only because it broke through convention and delivered something that was a total surprise. I thought I was in for another revenge/torture porn, but once that ending rolled around (and I'm hoping this was your intent, if not I do apologize) I was literally on the floor cracking up. I did not see that coming at all, and it is a great example of how a twist can be out of left field but somehow make the story better.
Jane Beckwith (Level 4)
This is a pretty funny and pretty freudian premise. I'm not sure how it would play out. Do we see Kevin? I think the screenplay could make it more obvious that we don't see him. For example, when he is craning his neck, lifting his head, etc. I kind of lost that this was Kevin's point of view throughout. I started picturing an adult. What is his voice like? Is it voice over? I think that might make more sense than making it seems as if he is having a conversation. Scary and fun. Excellent title. Love the misdirection.
Jeannie Sconzo (Level 5)
Very very funny! I gave you an excellent! I certainly don't see Eleanor as a monster nor see this as a horror, but I guess Kevin does for now. So, glad Chris didn't turn it away based on that. I'm thinking some might not give you as high as score as me cause they may think it isn't horror. Whatever the actual genre, I think it's brilliantly written!
JeanPierre Chapoteau (Moderator)
Okay, I was about to bash your screenplay, until I finished it. Now I see it in a new light. Let me read it again...HA! I was about to say no one would be that angry when they first wake up, but in this circumstance, I think maybe you're right. :)This is sort of a "look who's talking" kinda thing. The script was hilarious, the second time around. But I found it hard to believe the baby would know what blood was. I'm assuming he knows curse words because of his parents arguing while he was in the womb, but if that's the case, then he would of known his name.You said the term "to hell" Like five times in your script. You should of found a different phrase. You also used past tense in a paragraph. I found it very funny, overall. I thought the cursing was over used though. You can imply anger with other words other than swearing all over the place. I would of found it more creative if you had. I'm on the borderline with this one.... I'll give it a good.
Jem Rowe (Level 4)
This is my first review/comment/vote and to be blunt you've made it bloody difficult. At first I really didn't like "The Butcher" because I felt the piece relied entirely on it's twist. However, after reading it with a more humorous outlook I found it to be very amusing and ended up giving it "Very Good". I'm uncertain as to whether you wanted it to feel scary until the punch-line, but I think if it's approached with a mix of horror and humour from the outset (and not just humour at the end) it works far better. I liked the Kevin character and feel he works best when sounding particularly outraged (I couldn't help imagining Alan Arkin's voice for the role). Also, I feel the mother figure was perfectly described and had an off-putting motherly nature that tied in well with the warped horror.
John Brooke (Level 5)
Snip, snip! No wonder Kevin is screaming at the top of his lungs. You have eloquently told, every males worst nightmare.From a newborn male babies Point of View, the person performing this operation, some would argue mutilation, would definitely be perceived as a butcher.What a horror show this screenplay is. Not sure of the audience this approach is meant to entertain, but isn't children!Your surprising reveal at the end is perfect.Didn't spot any errors or any way you might improve this tale. Neat micro story. Easy to produce at a low budget.Good, maybe better.
Jose Batista (Level 5)
LOLOLOL!!!You had me good, and that's why I give this a Very Good. I feel your script does not have the required theme of the contest, but that's niether here nor there. The butcher is actually a nurse, and she appears to be doing a fine job, so there's nothing deadly or horrific about that.However, you caught me completely by surprise. I was expecting some sort of twisted, crazy psychopath nurse who was extracting revenge on a man for cheating on her by mutilating his penis. Your very excellent writing created an atmosphere of dread and tension that had me cringing by the time I reached the bottom of page two. Very well done. In the end, you flipped the script and I salute you for so successfully doing that. Cheers.
Kevin Carty (Level 4)
So from what I can tell no one dies they just say that he's getting a circumcision. I'm not sure if I can feel good about this so you want to circumcise me. Lol. This is pretty one note nothing really good here for me, I keep saying that people write 3 pagers but this just doesn't do it for me. Sure all men can identify with this but it's just a procedure. I don't even know if she kills anyone or how she is a monster. Your dialogue sounds forced too much talk about:I don't know why I am here, Who are you what am I doing here.... You say this so many times in so many different ways it just doesn't connect. I'm supposed to feel fear not listen to your character bemoan his captor the entire time. I'd silence him and the dad sounds like a doctor checking up on the patient. All he has to say is so how's the circumcision coming. Also you slipped by the moderators by including the dad as an accomplice. The bloody pampers don't know what that's about
Khamanna Iskandarova (Level 5)
Haha, this is so great! From an infant's point of view - very very original. Well written. I just can see it filmed.I think at the end you must let us know that it's the same Kevin. You let the reader know but on screen it might be hard to understand. So have her say "-that you're stuck with me for the rest of your life, KEVIN." - with the inclusion of "Kevin". I'd do Very Excellent but there's no Very Excellent, so Excellent is my rating.
KP Mackie (Level 5)
Short and funny. Will assume the "horror" is not what's committed on two-day old Kevin, but the reaction of an unsuspecting male unable to decipher what's happening to him. Clever twist.Probably could shorten/tighten some of infant Kevin's protests. Bit repetitive; ie, "Where am I? What's going on? What's wrong?" His next dialogue asks the same questions.Assume by Eleanor's last line: "...you're stuck with me for the rest of your life" that she's Mom. Maybe, delete Eleanor's name and "large" at the beginning, leaving "intimidating blur of a woman." Introduce Eleanor at the end, arms extended in comfort, with a more appealing and nurturing appearance. Just a suggestion...
Kyle Patrick Johnson (Level 5)
That's pretty darn funny. I like the conception of substituting an older character speaking the thoughts as if he's inside the infant's head, with the fuzzed-out camera from the infant's point of view. That's really inventive, stepping out of the box like that, and although it might not strictly be horror, I hope you do really well.I re-read it, and the dialogue is really great for the different characters's points of view. That had to take some careful planning, and I appreciate it! I take exception to infant Kevin using adult swear words, but that's just a personal bias, because obviously if he knew them he'd use them. Very Good!
Margaret Ricke (Level 5)
Good title. It's been used, but it's an older movie. Sort of. And Chinese...I don't know if your title fits the story yet. Starting out with a POV stopped me from reading and brought me back here. This is a readers' script. Write visually and keep the directions to a minimum. When I'm reading, I want to be caught up in the story, not the technical aspects of filming it. My personal opinion is that anything that can take a reader out of the story should be avoided. You never introduce Kevin. Always introduce your important characters.On page 1- Kevin's dialogue - "What's wrong? I don't know... or what's going..." Insert an 'on.' Small thing.Okay. I know why you didn't introduce Kevin and why you kept it all in his POV. I'm still not crazy about the overall fuzziness of this, though. Everything is blurred. The character, the images on the screen, what was happening... Nothing is clear until the last lines.
Marnie Mitchell Lister (Level 5)
When I first started reading it I thought it was totally stupid. But then I got to the end...LOL. What a great way to show the baby's side of the procedure. I feel bad that I had it done to my boy now. Great title, funny dialog.Very good job:)
Martin Jensen (Level 5)
Wow... I'm not sure how to feel about that twist. Was the baby talking to her? In the previous scene is Kevin's voice like a toddlers? Wouldn't we see his body and realise it's a baby's? So many questions are left unanswered. Looking over it again, it seems like she never heard what he was saying, just baby noises, but it's really not that clear. You set up that Kevin had been abducted very well in my mind, making the twist even more of a blow. Good.
Paul De Vrijer (Level 5)
Love the statement you're making in this script. Right on the nose. I don't think it works beyond that, it's just a powerful idea, but I don't think it really works as a 'story'. It's too short to really connect to any of the characters. Don't know if it really delivers on the requirement either, unless it's a metaphorical 'monster', she isn't really killing anyone. Oh well, not to spoil the fun. Loved the thing, but I didn't really find much of a story in it. The last sentence is a bit...too much on the nose for my tastes. Explains too much, I think we get it when he reverts to a baby, nice twist by the way. Would be a good film for short festivals, one that sticks.BEST MOMET: Him going off at her. "Mad? I'm gonna kill you b*tch!"
Paul Williams (Level 5)
Your ending is surprising, really only because we're not given any clues to pick up on and there's such misdirection that we could never figure this all out, but it was fun in the end.You should have made the initial dialogue exchange with Eleanor and Kevin and little more ambiguous, so that it has a double-meaning later on and makes up reconsider it. Who exactly is Eleanor? Kevin's mother? The nurse?Dad's piece of dialogue, while humorous, felt a little odd.Good title, by the way.Your screenwriting is good; format overall appears in order; didn't detect any typos.
Philip Whitcroft (Level 5)
This is a good idea although it is obviously a bit off the wall. You've done a good job technically with it. I guess it's difficult to get around the fact that you have to hide so much information to make this work. As a result it was largely confusing for me. I wonder if having set up the horrific scenario you could have gone all in on it and devised something that didn't have a cute get out.
Rob Dianora (Level 4)
It's an interesting story. I like the little twist at the end. I feel like it needs more descriptions. You have it written very vaguely, which is great for on screen, but it's a tough read at points.
Robbie Comeau (Level 3)
Very clever. Didn't see it coming.Great job, this would be very funny. I was wondering how the ending would turn out and it shocked me pretty good :)Robbie
Sally Meyer (Moderator)
Interesting slant on the horror theme. I think I'd have enjoyed it more if Kevin didn't have such a foul mouth.I certainly wasn't expecting this twist and I think a lot of people will like the script. It certainly made me sigh with relief when I got to the end. Two pages? Impressive to leave me thinking, with only two pages.I'm not sure it's really horror, but maybe it is all in the filming. That would be key to make this work.
Scott Merrow (Level 5)
That was very cute and fun. And I have to admit -- it took me totally by surprise. Totally. (I'm not sure it fits into the horror genre, though, but I guess that's a decision for the contest administrators to make.) Aside from that, I only have one other comment. Since you have to hide Kevin's identity throughout the movie, you might have a hard time showing things like "Kevin strains to see what she's doing at the foot of the bed. He can only see the top of her head. Kevin drops his head to the pillow." I know we're still seeing from Kevin's P.O.V., but it seems like it might be tough to pull that off while hiding the fact that Kevin is actually a baby. You can't rely too much on keeping everything a little out of focus, either, because the viewers will realize quickly that you're hiding something. I guess that's a pretty minor point, though. Otherwise, I really enjoyed the script.My score: VERY GOOD.
Shane Shearer (Level 4)
I like the concept behind the POV but you can't fade in to blackness. Just eliminate the fade in (you may keep the fade out) and have it open with BLACK and then have Kevin open his eyes.This was enjoyable though there was no "killer." I assume that doesn't matter since the contest also allows for the "monster" to be a female and any lady with a knife, ever so close to my penis is definitely a monster. Trust that. In fact, they should probably back the eff up mother effer, cuz I don't play around when it comes to sharp objects and my penis. But anyways...I enjoyed this, I did. You've got a knack, and it shows in your ability to show the entire thing from the baby's point of view and leaves the audience wondering what in the hell is going on. Nice work, friendo. But seriously, I was holding my groin after I read this, anticipating some scorned lover chopping stuff up, Lorena Bobbit style. That's a huge no-no for my huge friendo. Though, I do have some I could afford to shave off as it's pretty intimidating, just like this story! See what I'm doing here? Okay, I'll stop now. Way to go!
Shyama Kant Misra (Level 3)
You've written a very short script in the truest sense. You appear to have tried to maintain a kind of suspense until the end. You should, however, write a proper header in the beginning of the first scene. I guess the slugline 'P.O.V.' can't substitute a proper header. Secondly, you should also know how to correctly use the 'P.O.V.' thing.If it's your first attempt at screenwriting, you will fare better in your next one – you simply have to get familiar with the rules of good screenplay formatting.
Thomas W. Brown (Level 4)
This is script is well formatted, well structured, and well written. Unfortunately I find it way too preachy, and I think circumcision is horrible. Regardless, I'm giving this a good. Cheers!
Tim Westland (Moderator)
The disconnect between the Nurse and Kevin are so far apart that it doesn't make any sense until the end. That might (might!) be okay for a short 5 pager, but if you were to do this same thing with a longer script, I suspect the reader would think something was wrong with your writing. The only way it makes sense is if you get to the end. The twist ending could have been handled a bit more elegantly.As for craft, you need a little work on how to handle transitions and slugs.I wondered why you didn't give a description or age for Kevin... and when the twist came, I understood. For me, that kind of qualifies as cheating in order to ensure the twist really worked. You could have described him as "young, with wispy hair" or something. Then our brains would fill in the blanks and the twist would work better.Kevin's dialogue seems way overwritten. I always find it interesting when writers have the victim curse at their tormentors as said tormentors are physically hurting them. Insults and vitriol would only serve to make the tormentor angry and spiteful, thus ensuring more and longer bouts of pain. So I think you should reconsider his dialogue.
Wes Worthing (Level 5)
Typo: "...or what's going!"I think a noticeable weakness of the script is with the echoed dialogue: "What's wrong?" "What's Wrong?" "...fixed up." "Fixed up?" "Your penis..." "My penis?" "Better?" "Better?" "...sleep." "Sleep?"If you wrote that on purpose to show how infants repeat what they here, then that would contradict that the infant already knows the rest of the words he's using. Concept however is terrific. I laughed my butt off. The only suggestion I feel comfortable making is stretch this out to five pages and include the nurse, (the real butcher), in the story as well. Still laughing.
William D. Prystauk (Level 5)
Remove the POV element for Kevin. There's no need for stage direction because the director doesn't like to be told what to do. Just say something like: "Kevin looks at..." to reveal POV."brandishing some menacing, albeit undistinguishable objects" - more detail needed for production design. Mention that actual circumcision tools by name."whatever diabolical procedure" - you can't leave the director/actors in the dark. Be specific. The director and cinematographer will determine how to shoot the scene and what to keep hidden. To be secretive about the end result, you can mention "she cuts". Keep it simple, but give the readers of the script something subtle to work with.Since Kevin's a baby, he needs to at least make a remark about how his arms won't work or something. And remember, circumcisions are performed with a baby in a padded chair under local anesthesia. "poopy diaper" - say this better. Remember, you're writing for adults.Excellent idea, just rewrite the story in a more gripping manner. From the beginning, it was obvious he was on a hospital bed, so how can you hide this better. And once the nurse "did her thing", I realized what the ending would be - but that's just me. I thought the idea was smart and the script can really, really work.

Wow, Brian, I really thought you were going to run away with this one. I thought your script was wonderful.
Brian Wind (Level 5) ~ 11/1/2009 12:37 AM
Thanks for the great feedback everyone! I'm glad to see that so many of you enjoyed this. I will comment again in more detail after I have re-read it all and taken a little time to soak it in. One thing I agree on completely though is that the title could be improved.
Thanks Kyle!
Chris Messineo (Founder) ~ 11/1/2009 12:45 AM
I loved this as well. I want to know where you got the idea for this - it was so clever.
Marnie Mitchell Lister (Level 5) ~ 11/1/2009 1:08 AM
I thought this was great Brian. And I like the title. :)
Brian Wind (Level 5) ~ 11/1/2009 1:29 AM
I was trying to come up with an idea and then the new baby started just whailing at the top of his lungs and inspiration struck. Haha. I could tell whatever he was experiencing was pretty horrible and tried to translate his pain and confusion at this whole new world he's in to the form of a horror comedy short.
Kyle Patrick Johnson (Level 5) ~ 11/1/2009 8:43 AM
I expect that we'll get to vicariously watch Brian's baby grow up, inserted as his horror protagonists!
Chris Messineo (Founder) ~ 11/1/2009 11:07 AM
I love how your newborn's child first inspiration was for a horror story. :)

Brian Wind (Level 5) ~ 11/3/2009 7:33 PM
Thanks again everyone! I'm glad that a lot of you enjoyed this script.Something tells me the little one will be a source of inspiration for many more scripts to come. (Mainly because I can't get a thought in, let alone brainstorm a script, without him vying for my attention.) :)
Scott Merrow (Level 5) ~ 2/11/2010 6:12 PM
I just read the rewrite (and the original, again), and I actually like them both about the same. The new one is just for a different audience, without the harsh language.The harsh language in the original is a little funnier, and it lends itself to your deception a little better, because it makes Kevin seem like he's really freakin' out. But both versions work well, depending on the audience.Likewise with the ending. The new one is a little more subtle (without the father blurting out the question), but both versions work well. IMHO.

text: My first Sourdough round made from a starter I raised a week ago. I used the Rivercottage Bread Bible guide to raising a sourdough starter and made one using a mixture of white bread flour and rye, feeding daily for a week. It burst out of its container towards the end of the week and was active and bubble and had lost it's initial erm.. strage smell. I used it in an overnight sponge, then 2-3 hour initial rise before shaping into a boule and proving in a floured cane basket. Once it had doubled, I slashed it in a pound sign and baked it on a preheated stone with water in the baking tray underneath for steam. I had issues with the baking however, the top seemed to brown really quickly so I covered it with foil and for the last 15 mins of baking, turned the whole loaf upside down in an effort to get the base to cook. It was lovely and crisp when I took it out, but upon cooling the crust had gone soggy, so I returned it to the oven for an additional 20 mins to crisp up again. I suspect it really needed longer baking and may consider getting an instant read thermometer so I can double check cooking length next time. The flavour is lovely and cool, with a pleasant hint of sour. It is flattish, but I suspect these sourdough boules are meant to be that way. It opened out quite a lot upon slashing?

Just built a 16 x 16 vinyl pergola - full sun. Need a plant to provide covering, probably a vine of some sort. I keep seeing the word "annual" when researching - does that mean I would have to take down dead leaves and vines each winter and replant in the spring? Suggestions? |
Follow-Up Postings:
I should add that this pergola is completely on top of the deck - so planting in the ground is not an option. I will need to use pots near each post on top of the decking. |
Annuals only live one season, so you will need to take down the dead vines and replant every year. There are many annuals that would happily climb up the pergola: morning glories and their relatives moonflowers and cypress vine, climbing nasturtiums, scarlet runner beans, and many others. There will be much time, however, when the vines don't provide "cover" per se, because they need to be planted outside after frost (some can be started inside) and will die with the first frost. Good luck! |

Many clematis grow happily in pots, but the pots must be LARGE - at least 16" or so I would think. But clematis are gorgeous, grow quickly once established. Anything in pots will need an exceptional amount of watering, especially in the heat of July, Aug and Sept. |
I have grown our native coral honeysuckle vine in large containers. It is prennial and has beautiful coral red bloom clusters off and on all season with heaviest flowering in spring and late summer through fall. Like gottagarden stated the plants will need an exceptional amount of watering. Could you plant at the base of the deck in ground and let your vines climb up to the pergola. If necessary, you could provide a short support from the ground to the base of the pergola to get them started depending on how high your deck is from the ground. There is very little leaf drop with honeysuckle and it is a wonderful hummigbird vine also. Penny |
morning glories and their relatives moonflowers and cypress vine may throw seed everywhere. I have cypress vine coming up in various places in my yard where it hasn't been planted for three years. Unless you actually want random reseeders, Cardinal vine which is a hybrid of Cypress vine would be a better choice for an annual vine as it doesn't reseed for us up here. It took two years to get rid of the morning glorie volunteers. Nasturtiums are gorgeous but they are an aphid magnet so you may not want those on a pergola that you will be sitting underneath. I had to rip out my naturtiums this year because the aphids were so bad. Scarlet runner been will also provide you with beans that you can harvest while the pods are still young. Another annual vine is Hyacinth Bean vine. It has purplish green leaves with pinksh purple flowers and deep reddish purple seed pods and is used by butterflies and hummers. Penny |
Clematis would be my recommendation b/c it is colorful and abundant and yet, lightweight. It is easy to cut in fall and it will just come right back in spring. It only blossoms for about 2 1/2 - 3 weeks though. If you need longer bloom time, you could mix it with two varieties that bloom at different points in the season. It's low maintenance (virtually none) and not too expensive either. My Dad has one that he cut down in August thinking it was done and after a couple of warm weeks late in August, it came back...with more blossoms!! (We never expected that!) Best of luck in whatever you decide...I'm sure it will be lovely. |
Thanks everyone. Couple of questions: 1. Will I need to take the pots of a Climatis inside for the winter, or will it survive in them? Can you tell I'm new to this? :) |
Clematis in the ground is very hardy but I am not sure how they would do in pots for the winter. You could double pot them with a layer of bubble wrap between the pots or pack peat most between the pots for added protection. Penny |

"We are proud to be delivering four outstanding after-school programs this fall semester, including five offerings through our School of Dance, two classes in partnership with Simplicity of Music, a Future Artists class for sixth-graders & up, as well as our inaugural offering of a Story Tellers program for third through sixth-graders. It is satisfying to look at our programmatic line-up and see varied interests and mediums addressed through dance, music, visual arts and literary arts," said DAA Executive Director Rori Herbison.
"Each discipline offers so much to our creative landscape, and to be able to provide the youth of this area the opportunity, the access to each of these — that's doing our job. That is fulfilling our mission as a non-profit organization that is making a difference.
"Each and every one of our kids that come through those front doors, they have the opportunity to change the world we live in with their voice, their talent and their heart. If the Delta Arts Alliance can play just a small part in a child find their confidence, their courage, their creative outlet, the ability to process the world around them, I'll take that. I will take that every single time," she said.
According to a press release, in the future artist course, Lawson King will work cooperatively with each student to enhance their craftsmanship, by understanding and applying principles of design. Students will explore mediums often used in creating two and three-dimensional art, while gaining a visual awareness and a visual literacy through an introductory focus on art history.
The School of Dance will provide sound, fundamental dance techniques, while also teaching stage presence, choreography and performance delivery.
The Simplicity of Music program focuses on developing a child's music vocabulary and ability to read music. Those skills are then practically applied to areas of percussion (bongos, rhythm sticks), piano and voice.
Funded through a place-based grant by Community Foundation of Northwest Mississippi, the program uses central music figures from our state's deep and rich musical credentials to teach appreciation and understanding of this magical place we call home. In this semester's learning, students will have the opportunity to collaborate and perform with some of Mississippi's finest songwriters.
In the story telling program budding storytellers will learn on this 14-week fantastical journey, as they write, create, and storyboard their own tales into a custom chapter book.
Chapter books for transitional readers give children their first opportunity to experience a substantial story, in both length and content, as independent readers. They range over almost all genres and provide tight construction and peppier pacing.
Along the journey, aspiring writers will explore different chapter books and learn about magical realism and fairy tale retellings, while focusing on structure, development and pacing. Students will come together to create a wonderful, illustrated chapter book; working on their very own chapter to complete the project.
Class space is limited and a 15 percent family discount is awarded to multiple children enrolled or multiple class selections.
The discount is taken from class instruction fees, only.
The costume and/or material fees are non-negotiable.
When asked why is the DAA a safe place for young artists in regards to their not being afraid to be creative, Herbison said, "I think that's a two-part answer. There are the obvious preventive measures we take in protecting our building, background checking our instructors and keeping our facility clean, secure and safe. The instructors I'm asking you to trust with your babies are the same instructors I trust with my own daughter. She's been involved in the School of Dance since she was four.
"I think the second part of that question is more in the environment we rely on our instructors to foster and encourage. It's a safe place to explore, to be creative, to make mistakes. It is not a place of judgment or ridicule. It is place where you find your courage in the support of those around you—those who are tight roping out into their creative place for the first time too.
"We applaud, we hug, we boast and we brag on the process, not the product. Our journeys aren't measured collectively. It's a singular journey in a group setting. There are few things in the world that can compare."
Classes begin Monday with the enrollment period to stay open two weeks.
The last day of sign-ups will be Aug. 29.
Need-based tuition deferment packages are limited, but do exist for each of the classes.
Interested participants can call 662 843 3344 or 662 588 3342 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.

Each fall, my family visits my husband's family in Las Vegas, and I look forward to the sense of relaxation I get from the sweeping desert landscapes. But I know I could never leave this part of the country. We can enjoy mountains and lakes, beautiful farmland in Orange or Dutchess Counties, and, of course, the Big Apple with its many attractions. When it comes to outdoor fun, one of our family's favorite destinations is Bear Mountain State Park. It's so close, you can spend an afternoon, or if you prefer, make a full day of it.
In June, the park opens its rather large public swimming pool for the season, and right across Route 9W, there's a seasonal snack stand with many picnic tables and barbecues. On holiday weekends there can be quite a crowd, but at other times, there's room to relax and enjoy the scenery of the park, which is nestled along the Hudson River where Rockland meets Orange County. June 18 through Labor Day, the pool is open 10am-5:30pm weekdays and 11am-6:30pm weekends and holidays; $2 ages 13 and up, $1 ages 6-12, free ages 5 and under.
If you'd rather be on the water than in it, the park offers rowboat rentals on Hessian Lake now through Labor Day. Although you have to be at least 16 years old to rent a boat, there is no minimum age for passengers. The rental dock is located behind the Bear Mountain Inn, which remains closed for renovations. Each passenger is issued a life preserver and park staff is diligent about enforcing rules for wearing them; just ask my husband. Boats can be rented daily 11am-4pm; $5 per person.
Want to enjoy the scenery of the lake without renting a boat? A paved pathway around its perimeter allows for a pleasant walk, bike ride, or stroll with a stroller.
Many orphaned and rehabilitated animals make their home at the small zoo located on the park's grounds. Exhibits aren't fancy but guests can see a variety of local wildlife, including black bears, beaver, coyotes, and bald eagles. Two of the nicest attractions are the small building containing reptiles and amphibians and outdoor aviaries housing birds. Parents with small children should note that although the pathways are paved and smooth, the terrain is a little hilly, which can make stroller use challenging. The zoo is open daily (other than Thanksgiving and Christmas) 10am-4:30pm; suggested donation $1 per person.
Whatever the season, no trip to the park is complete for my daughter without a visit to the merry-go-round, where children can ride on hand-carved and hand-painted representations of wildlife native to New York State. Open weekends year-round; June 29-July 27, hours are Wednesdays 12-8:30pm, Thursday-Sunday 10am-5pm; closed Mondays and Tuesdays. Starting July 28, Wednesday hours are the same as other days; after Labor Day, hours return to weekends only.
Bear Mountain State Park is located off the Palisades Interstate Parkway, Exit 19 or Route 9W. Parking is $8 per car. For more information, call 845-786-2701 or visit nysparks.state.ny.us/parks/13/details.aspx.

Politics and Protests of the Biotech Revolution Recorded: Tuesday, December 13, 2005
For millennia, farmers all over the world have bred crops for their resistance to disease, productivity, and nutritional value. Over the past century, scientists have used increasingly more sophisticated methods for modifying crops at the genetic level. But only since the 1970s have advances in gene-splicing and other aspects of biotechnology upped the ante with the promise of dramatically improved agricultural products. Today, few topics have the power to inspire as much international furor and misinformation as the development and distribution of genetically altered foods. Is public resistance far out of synch with the potential risks? Please join us as Henry Miller, co-author of the new book The Frankenfood Myth, and Bruce Ames, U.C. Berkeley professor of biochemistry and molecular biology, address this critical 21st century issue.

Hi there, I'm new to this forum, so hopefully this post is in the right place. I am not sure if this is a palm or a ficus, but either way i am having trouble finding information about it in order to find some suitable fertilizer. Any help would be much appreciated. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Looks like a Dracaena (not a palm or ficus)- related to Agaves. These need minimal fertilization, as do most indoor plants. |
- Posted by tropicalzone7 7b (My Page) on Thu, Mar 14, 13 at 12:37
Definitely looks like a yucca guatemalensis that is growing in very low light. They are very easy to care for. I would bring it outside during the summer in a spot that doesnt get too much direct sunlight (they can handle full sun but yours has been growing in an indoor environment for so long that it won't be used to a lot of high light). They dont really need much fertilizer and definitely thrive on neglect. I bring mine outside during the summer and back in during the winter and they are growing happy. I always let it dry out a little bit between waterings but not too much. The leaves will grow longer in shade (like the way your's are now) and will only be half that length in full sun. Good luck with it! |

Health Update for Patients
January 23, 2014
There have been reports of Norovirus outbreaks in the community so please take every precaution to prevent further illnesses from developing.
Norovirus is the leading cause of outbreaks of vomiting and diarrhea and it spreads very quickly.
Norovirus is spread by contact with an infected person or by touching a contaminated surface.
Norovirus particles are small and there are billions of them in the stool and vomit of an infected person.
Norovirus causes inflammation of the stomach or intestines or both. This is called acute gastroenteritis.
Common Symptoms:
• Diarrhea
• Throwing up
• Nausea
• Stomach Pain
Other Symptoms:
• Fever
• Headache
• Body Aches
If you have norovirus illness, you can feel extremely ill and throw up or have diarrhea many times a day. This can lead to dehydration, especially in young children, older adults, and people with other illnesses. Most people with norovirus illness get better within 1 to 3 days.
There is no specific medicine to treat people with norovirus illness. Norovirus infection cannot be treated with antibiotics because it is a viral (not a bacterial) infection. If you have norovirus illness, you should drink plenty of liquids to replace fluid lost from throwing up and diarrhea. This will help prevent dehydration.

CU: Home • A to Z • Campus Map
CU Money Sense will hold a student workshop with help from the Colorado Bureau of Investigation on the prevention of identity theft in the college-age population on Oct. 10. The workshop is open to all CU-Boulder students and will be held in University Memorial Center room 245 from 1 to 2:30 p.m. Students planning to attend should email email@example.com.
The National Science Foundation has awarded a $12 million grant to a CU-Boulder-led team to explore ways to maximize the benefits of natural gas development while minimizing negative impacts on ecosystems and communities.
Excited as she was about being at CU-Boulder, Melanie Ferraro's freshman year got off to a rocky start.
Ferraro was eventually able to find her footing, however, in a class she was required to take as a Norlin Scholarship recipient, called Constructions of Knowledge. It wasn't the class itself that led to her transformation from scared and unhappy to confident and successful. It was the connections and friendships she made with the other students.
Buff Essentials Week, an annual event held to support freshmen in acclimating to college life, will be held Oct. 1-6. First-year students in the College of Arts and Sciences are required to attend at least three events before registering for spring semester classes in November. Students can choose sessions related to academic advising, research opportunities, nutrition, career counseling, note taking, study abroad and others. All students, staff and faculty are invited to participate in the events.
Tim Wise, prominent anti-racist writer and educator, will speak in Macky Auditorium on Tuesday, Oct. 2. Wise has been called, "One of the most brilliant, articulate and courageous critics of white privilege in the nation," and was named one of "25 Visionaries who are Changing Your World," by Utne Reader in 2010.
The University of Colorado Law School brought together industry leaders, top practicing lawyers, and members of the judiciary to discuss some of the most important issues facing the legal profession today. The Gathering of the Bench and Bar Conference was held Sept. 19–21.
"I envisioned this conference as a way to not only provide educational opportunities, but also to help students and new graduates expand their professional network," said Phil Weiser, dean of Colorado Law.
By JohnMichael Thistle, CUSG Election Commissioner
This time last year, I didn't know what CUSG was. Of course, I knew CU had a student government, but that was the extent of my knowledge.
As the new election commissioner for CUSG, I feel that a large part of my job is to share information with you that I wish had been shared with me before recent months.

reviews & comments (9)
This cake came out with a lovely light, spongy texture and good chocolate flavour. I prefer the glaze a little more orangey, so I added a few drops of orange flavouring rather than the liquor, which worked well.
I like this recipe and have used it repeatedly, although it is challenging, and I got the heavy result a couple times. It takes practice. I like a chocolate version of angel food cake.
Awesome cake IF you follow the directions closely. The most challenging part is whipping the egg whites just enough but not too much, and then patiently folding in the flour mixture.
I thought this cake was super. I had been planning to make this for a while, but when I looked at the reviews I was a bit hesitant. I'm glad I did though; this cake was light and delicious. It is a great chocolate indulgence without the guilt. I think that it takes a lot of focus, though--you really need to follow the instructions carefully. FYI, I couldn't find self-rising cake flour, so I went to the cake flour's website, which recommended 1 c. cake flour, 1/2 tsp. baking powder and 1/4 tsp. salt as the substitute for 1 c. cake flour.
I made this for someone in my office who is on a no fat, no cholesterol diet. The cake did turn out rather dense and heavy, but I think it may be because I beat in the dry ingredients at low speed instead of folding them in properly like I should have. I did not use the orange glaze topping, I used a marshmallow icing instead. A good choice, because the cake itself is not very sweet. This disappeared in about an hour in an office of 15 people -- and not everyone got to try some. Everyone said it was great!
I've had this recipe clipped from the magazine for years, finally just made it. Very disappointing. Cake was sticky and heavy, not very high, not like true angel food cake at all. Orange glaze did help, but not enough. never again.

Raymond James Financial Inc. (RJF) resumed talks to buy Regions Financial Corp. (RF)'s Morgan Keegan brokerage unit, setting up a bidding contest with Stifel Financial Corp., said three people with knowledge of the matter.
A period of exclusive negotiations with Stifel, based in St. Louis, has expired, allowing Raymond James to revive discussions, said two of the people, who spoke on condition of anonymity as the matter is private. Neither is likely to reach a deal for Memphis, Tennessee-based Morgan Keegan before the end of the year, the people said.
Jana Strange, a spokeswoman for St. Petersburg, Florida- based Raymond James, declined to comment, as did Evelyn Mitchell, a spokeswoman for Birmingham, Alabama-based Regions. A spokeswoman for Stifel (SF) didn't immediately return a call seeking comment.

According to Hollywood Reporter , Kristen Stewart of Twilight fame has been pegged to play rocker Joan Jett in the Runaways movie. She's already working on her bad reputation (heh-sorry) so we'll see how she does, it's not a bad choice actually. We were speculating back in June that it should be Ellen Page or Olivia Thirby. What do you think? I personally love the Runaways, so am excited to see it, apparently Joan is a producer as well.

Lady Gaga's going to Harvard. Yes, for real. Lady Gaga and her mother, Cynthia Germanotta, will launch the anti-bullying advocacy group, Born this Way, in partnership with the Harvard Graduate School of Education and several other organization in late February.
Gaga has long been a staunch supporter of anti-bullying legislation, reportedly meeting with President Obama to discuss the topic in September and visiting the White House in early December to discuss the issue with administration officials. She dedicated her performance of "Hair" at the iHeartRadio Festival in Las Vegas to Jamey Rodemeyer, a 14-year-old fan who took his own life after years of anti-gay harassment. And last year, Gaga topped DoSomething.org's list of the most charitable celebrities, in part for her work on behalf of gay rights causes.
"My daughter's foundation was born out of her passion to create a better world where people are kinder and nicer to one another and are accepted for who they are, regardless of how different they may be," Germanotta said. "She has experienced many of the struggles that our youth encounter today, and identifies with the lasting effects they can have without proper support. Together, we look forward to creating a new movement that will engage and empower youth and accept them as valuable members of our society."

I have had great luck with this in a sheltered corner. Most years there are some dead tips to remove and that is it. But THIS winter! There are canes leafing out but also many dead to the ground At least a quarter of them. And many are interior canes on a 6' plus shrub. If you know Darlow you know what a suicide mission it is to go inside. SO I'm thinking of drastic action - reduce whole thing to under3' and then finish by removing dead stuff at base. Your thoughts? |
Follow-Up Postings:
I'd say go for it! I had this same problem on some of my OGRs this spring. Reine des Violettes was no problem because she is thornless but Rose de Rescht has those tiny needle thorns! I took her right down and am hoping she'll come back stronger for it. She hadn't really been pruned a lot in about 5 years so she really did need a good hair cut! Honorine de Brabant was a mess too so she got whacked. My climber Blaze I had to take off all but one of the longest canes and that got cut back down to where I could at least see a few buds fattening. It's going to be an interesting season! |

I sympathize with you on pruning Darlow's Enigma with all the multiple small branching canes with extensive sneaky thorns. Fortunately, DE is a survivor. You could probably take a chainsaw to the whole bush and it would come back swinging, particularly if it's an own-root bush. Mine has been in an out-of-the-way mostly shade corner for 6 years or so with basically no pruning, so I rarely dare approach that corner. It still does fine with benign neglect, but it shouldn't complain one bit to have random and severe hacking. Go for it - just do it on a cool day so you can wear body protection. Cynthia |
