Comments Made During the Contest
Adam Grage (Level 4)
Liked the characters and the situation with the UPS guy. Alot of simple detail like the video monitor and script by the door etc. Really enjoyed most of it. Didnt feel the need for showing them having sex was necessary. I thought the relationship was implied well enough at the beginning.
Aimee Parrott (Level 4)
After reading this, I'm not sure if Jane's real. I think she's not -- that she's Franklin's invention so he doesn't have to feel so alone? When I started reading, I thought the dialogue was very on the nose... but if it was all in his head, then I actually think it works. And it made me sad. What's confusing is, I guess I'm not 100% sure that she is imaginary...
Andrew Jones (Level 2)
A very good script, with a good twist at the end.I like how when I read it back things become obvious, such as why the woman is attractive. A few small issues, like some parts seem like they could have been made more relevant to the story, such as the bedroom and the home office part. The dialogue between the man and woman seemed slightly unrealistic, though this could be explained by the twist at the end.Also, i'm not quite sure why he needed the nail gun at the end.All in all, a very good script that I enjoyed.
Antonio Gangemi (Level 3)
The writing is professional and crisp. Good dialogue. Personally, I would've opted for a different twist at the end. Like have Franklin overcome his reclusiveness rather than succumb to it - mainly because it would have required more from him as the protagonist.
Brian Wind (Level 5)
So Jane was a figment of his imagination? If so, I liked it. If not, I missed something somewhere. Either way, well written and an interesting portrayal of his phobia. Good work.
Caroline Coxon (Mod Emeritus)
I read this several times, and I STILL couldn't understand it very well. It was well-written, stylistically, but the focus seemed to slip between Jane and Franklin, so it wasn't that clear whose story this was. Some of the scenes seemed to be superfluous - the spider, the lovemaking, Franklin at work - they didn't further the plot. Some were repeats of other scenes with minor variations - the mailman, the UPS man - would have been better to think of different ways of showing what it was you wanted to show about Franklin.I couldn't at all understand why Franklin had to have a script. Couldn't he read? But he read the letter from Catherine didn't he?You have a good style of writing, but the story needs work to make it clear what it is you are trying to tell us.
Charlie Hebert (Mod Emeritus)
I really liked this one. Moved well, got my curiosity up, and you really held the tension. Loved how it ended, the Kathunk of the nail gun as he slips further and further into his solitude and the fact that Jane was never really there (nice how she never communicates with the outside world.) I thought she was homebound too. (At least I think she was never there, was she?).Think you could have done a better job explaining who Jane is/was (wife, girlfriend, ex??). Also, you had one typo, "Franklin's".Other than that, really nice job. High marks from me.
Chris Messineo (Founder)
I read this one a few times and my sense of it is this, Franklin is agoraphobic and Jane is his imaginary partner.While I love the twist, the reveal of it at the end is so subtle, that I'm still not 100% sure I'm correct.A simple change that might make it a bit clearer and more powerful, would be to have the letter actually come from Jane - the realization that his dream lover was his real lover once before.
Deborah Zaniolli (Level 3)
It's a good script. I loved the end.
DW Pollard (Level 4)
The imagery is decent and it all comes together well, but it seemed to drag on for a long while. Didn't quite get the ending. I did like the dark, somber tone of the whole piece, but I didn't quite get it.
Elaine Curtis (Level 1)
I hope you don't receive multiple copies of this review from me...Overall, I think you did an adequate job with the fundamental aspects of screenwriting -- the descriptive/action paragraphs conveyed a proper visual sense to the story.You also did a good job handling the contest challenge of presenting a character with a phobia.On the negative side... I came away uncertain who Jane was. Was she a real person from his past? Was she a construct of his ideal woman? Was she the personification of Cathy? Obviously she wasn't there... Which brings me to a couple of the scenes, which, in retrospect (and with the knowledge that Jane is imaginary) don't make much sense. The first being her calling Franklin's attention to the spider in the kitchen sink. Doesn't it seem odd and illogical to have an imaginary character call his attention to the spider? And if he doesn't like contact with the outside world, would he really not mind having a spider in his house?The other scene which didn't make sense in retrospect was the sex scene. Granted, you were working toward the surprise ending that Jane is imaginary... but this scene just seems to be misleading the audience, which, when you get down to it, is a cheat.Were it me, I'd probably have spent more time on the backstory -- what led Franklin to this point... who Cathy was to him... why she thought he'd end up this way -- and less on these confusing scenes.Perhaps you could've had Jane "exist" merely as a voiceover, giving us the impression that she's right beside him -- maybe even allowing the audience to see Franklin from her POV... and then we realize at the end that Jane isn't real at all. She's merely some fantasy of an ideal woman, and in that sense, a window into his unbalanced mind.Hope this review has been helpful...
Elias Farnum (Level 5)
I saw some unnecessary caps, use them only when introducing a character for the first time, or for sounds.
Ethelyn Boddy (Level 4)
This maintains tension, but I'm not clear on what it's all about. I understand he has agoraphobia, but I need to reread to clarify the who, what and why of the total script.
Kim Kirchner (Level 3)
Nice job. I loved the fact that Jane didn't actually exist. It wasn't to obvious, but it wasn't so sudden that it was jolting, either. The only possible improvemen I could see was maybe a little trimming. There were a few scenes that I didn't think were really all that necessary, but they didn't detract anything from the story. Outstanding!
Liz Messineo (Level 4)
Nice twist. Well written.
Margaret Avnet (Level 4)
Whenever you have Franklin moving to another room you put it in the descriptive leaving off with... then you go to the slugline. I think it would be better to actually put where he is going and ending it with one period.Be careful of typos. You write "Franklin's turns back to TV." I think you wanted "Franklin turns back to the TV."I don't think you need to used wider in the description. And that description should be put at the beginning of the script.I'm confused about two things. One who is Cathy? Franklin's daughter,sister? And why is Jane in the house if at the end she isn't there?I think though you did a fairly good job in getting across Franklin's phobia.
Michael Cornetto (Level 5)
That was pretty good. The only comment I have is that I felt Jane wasn't developed enough of a character. If she was his fears, as you imply at the end, then I didn't get that impression of her from the script.Otherwise, well done.
Michael Thede (Level 4)
I loved the way, despite their being different, that Jane and Franklin really did compliment each other (in an odd way). Good twist at the end, as well, that Jane was just part of Franklin's imagination to help him cope with his agoraphobia (I'm assuming I've got it right, here!).
Pia Cook (Level 5)
I think I was somewhat confused here. First I thought it was going to be about Jane's fear of spiders, but it turned into Franklin's fear of people? I was with you I think until Jane disappeared after the nail gun arrived. What happened to her? What was the significance of nailing the window frames shut?The writing was good and all, I just felt confused by the ending.:-)
Randy Bigger (Level 4)
I'm thinking there were mulitiple phobias in play. Didn't get the ending. Jane leaving and all so quickly. Was she just a dream?
Rick Hansberry (Moderator)
I wondered where this was going and I wasn't disappointed. Clearly, everything is not what it seems and you did a good job of sustaining the intrigue. The guise of introducing Jane right in the opening as a real person really makes the twist at the end that much more powerful. I like how you even had Jane rub his back etc. It's how Franklin comforts himself. The nail gun at the end fulfills the letter's foreshadow. Really well executed and thought out. An original presentation of an interesting phobia. Great job. This one would leave people talking. It stayed with me for a while after I read it. Really imaginative and a joy to read.
Rob Gross (Level 4)
There were a few things that I couldn't figure out in this story.Who is Cathy? What was the purpose of the nail gun? Why would Jane know what it means to him?Did Jane leave him?
Rustom Irani (Moderator)
This was a good use of the phobia but it needs a few readings to get the clues as to Jane's secret.The viewer won't get this liberty. The messy state of the house, the dishes in the sink, are clues. And twice I thought that Jane was singing as she was "vacuuming."That tells me that your descriptions are wonderful and convincing. For a while I also thought they were in a witness protection program.I am more curious about the cause of franklin's phobia. Maybe if you could hint at how he came to be so or establish who Cathy is then it will be much clearer.I think you can have Franklin's conflict come up much sooner on page one itself and it will be more effective and round of the end well.Technically you have no problems.Good title.
Stephenie Ruffin (Level 4)
I'm a little confused about the end. Jane is gone. Was she a figment of his imagination or was she actually there. I'm thinking she was actually there. If she left him, maybe you could have the door slam then show she's gone. I like the descriptions but I think Janes dialog was a little forced. I thought it was a great story of phobia.
Tom Shipley (Level 4)
Spider scene seems like it's supposed to be a decoy. But doesn't really work… only people who knew this script is supposed to be about phobias might be duped. But even then, it doesn't seem to fit the script.The sex scene seemed very gratuitous and interrupted the flow of the story for me.Twist seems to be that Jane is not real. But it doesn't seem to be set up at all – unless I just missed it. She just kind of disappears. Thought it might be better is after Jane asks "End up like what?" Franklin just responded by nailing the boards over the windows. I think a different ending – or at least a better set-up one – would greatly improve the script.
Trevor Bryon (Level 3)
Good, but you didn't need that line, 'Alone. Trapped in this house, with nothing for company but my fear.'It's blatant exposition of something that should be shown, not said.It's an OK scene, but there is no change for any of the characters, just a revelation for the reader. Nothing is at stake.
Wes Worthing (Level 5)
Well that would explain why she didn't get the package from the UPS guy, because she wasn't there at all. It does leave me wondering who is Cathy and Jane and what do they mean to him? I think it's cool that he has this imaginary girl who adores him AND can achieve orgasms from him. He's a stud in his own mind. Franklin is a fun, complex character. I was going to tell you the sex scene was not important to the story, but the end clarifies that it has more meaning than one first realizes. Fun story. Thanks.
William Coleman (Level 5)
I'm intrigued by this piece, but I'm also puzzled by it. The spider led me down one direction, then I was diverted to another. This is not always bad, but I'm not sure if it all worked together. I gather Franklyn's phobia is the world outside his house. Jane is a fantasy. His real wife has given up. He nails himself deeper into his solitary world. It almost works, but not quite.

I'm not surprised this is yours. The craft as always is excellent and the twist is fun and unexpected. Well done.

Round two with Darrel Truett, exec chef of Barolo Grill
Weirdest customer request: We always serve our housemade breadsticks with a dipping sauce, but we change them up, so sometimes it's roasted garlic and parsley, other times it's roasted tomato, and we also do a butternut sage. On this particular night, the dipping sauce was a kalamata olive. A woman requested a soup bowl full of the dipping sauce as her first course. I don't have a problem with people requesting weird things as long as they're happy with what's presented to them. Just remember, though, that you ordered it.
Weirdest thing you've ever eaten: Andouillette sausage, which is basically a sausage made from pig colon. On one of our free nights during one of our trips to Italy, we went to this cool-looking restaurant in Beaune, France, and we noticed that they had andouillette on the menu. We ordered two for the table so we all could try it. One bite was all I needed. Not for me.
What's the best food- or kitchen-related gift you've been given? Last Christmas, my wife and daughter surprised me with the Modernist Cuisine book series. It gives you everything you could want, from history to techniques to plating. Every trick of the trade or secret is found within those pages.
What's always in your refrigerator? Cold cuts or cured meats for sandwiches -- usually prosciutto and some arugula on a focaccia roll at work, or if I'm at home, roast turkey, Muenster cheese and white bread.
Best recipe tip for a home cook: Don't cook bacon when you're naked. Just kidding. How about, just let it cook. When you add chicken, fish or beef to a hot pan -- and it sticks -- don't touch it. The flesh will release when it's ready, and that's when you turn the fish or meat.
Favorite food city in America: San Diego, especially La Jolla. Every year, we try and take a family vacation, and we've gone to San Diego for the past few years. We enjoy the seafood and outdoor dining experience at George's at the Cove, now known as California Modern. The view is spectacular, and chef Trey Foshee's menu always has awesome seasonal California produce, plus his dishes are artfully presented.
If you could change one thing about the Denver dining scene, what would it be? A high-quality, late-night good-eats joint -- something similar to Blue Ribbon Restaurant in New York City, a place where chefs can hang out after work to wind down.
Favorite celebrity chef: Charlie Trotter. During culinary school, before I went to class, I'd always watch Charlie Trotter's Cooking Sessions on PBS. I have every book he's written, and I appreciate his philosophy behind his food, and his community efforts are equally commendable. He was also the guest speaker at my graduation from Johnson & Wales University, and I got to meet him.

Run For Good with the TUI Marathon Palma de Mallorca
For years and years I had watched the Great North Run and London Marathon on TV – quite envious of the runners taking part, wishing I too could one day do the same! I have been a type 1 diabetic for 20 years and although it is well controlled I felt that my diabetes would prevent me from ever completing such a race.
I only started running about five years ago – I remember my first ever 10K run took me just over an hour but did leave me completely worn out and in bed for the rest of the day!
I am a determined person by nature though and therefore would not give up and carried on with my running – sometimes my diabetes would stop me going out when I wanted to, but I did see that running started to assist in controlling my blood sugars.
The challenge
In March last year a work colleague (Nichola) persuaded me to enter the Great North Run with her and her husband. I knew once I had entered it would motivate me not only to do more running and training, but also to get my diabetes control even better! I actually took part in the Belvoir Half-Marathon in April last year to see if I really could do the distance – I had decided even if it meant walking half the course I would still complete the 13 miles! I remember the race morning now – constant blood sugar checking and I was a bag of nerves as I set off with my emergency jelly babies in hand. I completely surprised myself and managed to run the whole route in a very respectable 1:55! I had never imagined I would be able to get under 2 hours and was really proud of myself. Unfortunately my blood sugars took a bit of a hit – but along with a few extra injections and close monitoring I got myself sorted pretty quickly.
The reason to run for Diabetes UK and how I fundraised
So the next challenge was the Great North Run itself! After the Belvoir Half-Marathon I built up a really close relationship with my diabetes team and decided what better charity to run for than Diabetes UK – they have given me so much support over the years and it would be good to give them something back in return.
September 8 2010 was also a milestone for me – 20 years of being diabetic – so doing the GNR the week after this was a sort of celebration as well (bit of a strange celebration in some people's opinions I know – however fellow runners will know where I'm coming from)!
I managed to raise £700 from the Great North Run – word got around my organisation which resulted in a lot of sponsorship and I actually got myself in the local paper (wasn't sure of the added pressure of lots of people knowing I was doing the race would be a good or a bad thing though)!
Nichola and I held a cake stall for work colleagues to raise a bit extra (we knew we would burn off the extra calories with all the training)! My addiction to Facebook was also useful – I think I was constantly putting on posts to try and raise more and more! I even got my Mum to take my sponsorship form to her work, which resulted in a nice bit of extra sponsorship. Through my own work I had managed to raise a bit extra for the cause – for every new insurance policy we sold that had been recommended by an existing client we would give £20 to charity (one of the charities being Diabetes UK) and raised another £2500 through this!
Training setback
A month before the race I was given the go ahead to have an insulin pump fitted – this would give me better control of my diabetes but I was really worried about having it so close to the race itself as to begin with it takes a lot of hard work and adjusting to get used to (I have a needle in my tummy and the pump attached to this 24 hours a day – sports bras certainly became important as this is where the pump is fixed when running!) I think one of the worst things was when the diabetes nurse told me I needed to rest from any sort of sport for a week or so after getting it (not good for a sports addict and knowing the GNR was less than a month away).
With the race looming I managed to get back into training although blood sugars were a bit hit and miss – I was really worried about the race day itself but again decided if I needed to walk some of the course just to get round, I would have to do so. I didn't not want to finish and let all of the people who had sponsored me and Diabetes UK down! I had even managed to get the Chief Executive of my company to sponsor me after finding out a family member of his had diabetes too!
Race day!
The weekend of Great North Run 2010 came far quicker than I had expected. Myself and Nichola and with our hubbies in tow had decided to make a bit of a weekend of it and hire a little cottage up north! I remember the night before – we were all so nervous we could hardly talk – my husband (chauffeur for the big day itself) was the only relaxed one there, with a nice cold beer!
Anyway we all did it! I ran the whole course and was so pleased with my achievement! It was a fantastic day and the atmosphere was electric – it was so good to see so many people running for lots and lots of worthwhile charities. I think the best memory of the day was the nice leg massage in the Diabetes UK tent afterwards though! I managed to finish it in 1:58 – a bit slower than the Belvior Half, but it was a lot steeper!
Even more benefits of running...
I have since completed one other half-marathon, again in 1:58, and my blood sugar control and general diabetic health has really improved (my nurse told me recently that the pulse in diabetics' feet is normally quite weak due to a connection of diabetes and poor circulation – however she said mine was really strong and it was most likely down to my running)!
I want to thank all of my diabetes team, family, friends and Diabetes UK for all the help and support they have given and encouraged me with my running! My next challenge ideally would be to compete in a marathon and I am determined that one day I will do so – hopefully at least doubling the amount of money I raised for GNR!
I have started writing on the forums on Runner's World and am inspired by some fellow diabetics who have written about the marathons they have run in (and in quick times).
They have encouraged me and proved that it is entirely possible to run 26 miles, diabetic or not (thank you for your words)!
I am determined to carry on using my running as a way to continue fundraising for worthy causes and have lots of ideas on how to raise money rather than just sending a sponsor form out – after all I believe the key to fundraise is to make it fun for everyone! Ideas include hosting a circuit training session in my village (good way of training as well), further cake stalls at work and a barn dance to be held at my mum and dad's farm!

Heather Mills has gotten herself dropped as the new face of a new computer game, after she demanded ten times the money that the bosses were going to pay her.
She was approached by the makers of Capcom's Bionic Commando, about a character in the game that has a prosthetic arm. She said that she would participate in the deal if she could be the star of the game, and she also demanded a whopping six figures for the deal.
A source says, "She was insistent she wouldn't do it for a smaller fee and said the producers should make her the star. The request was way, way over budget and they certainly weren't keen on basing the game on her."
It couldn't have happened to a nicer person….Ha!

While the bigwigs of Cornell's NYC Tech program gathered at their temporary digs in the Google HQ to pat each other's backs, word was spreading about one enterprising cam girl who decided to use Cornell's Carpenter Engineering Library as a backdrop for a self-made porno.
A tipster sent the video to IvyGate, which was uploaded to Xhamster and posted to Cornell's forums, EzraHub. The video shows a young blonde woman masturbating; at one point, she angles the computer to show that someone is studying behind her, providing a pretty comprehensive view of the library which IvyGate confirmed is "Carp."
Naturally, Cornell students immediately donned their Internet sleuthing caps and went to work trying to determine the woman's identity. One student linked to a profile of a professional cam girl named Cameron Knight, who bears a striking resemblance to the girl in the video. Her profile also states that she lives in Syracuse, which is just an hour drive to Cornell's campus in Ithaca.
Another EzraHub poster wondered if she was a student over the summer. "The video was posted over the summer and that's the only time I could see Carp being empty enough for a hot (ok, she's not hot at all, but hot for the Engineering Quad) girl to get away with touching herself without a slew of neckbeards drooling all over her," he wrote.
One Cornell alum told Betabeat, "Oh man. That's number one on the Cornell 161 things to do list: fuck in the stacks."
Whoever the mystery girl may be, this is certainly the most interesting thing to ever happen in an engineering library.
(h/t HyperVocal)
Update: IvyGate has confirmed that the same cam girl has filmed at least three other videos at the Cornell Law Library. Does Cornell have any campus security?

TCO Fly Shop is one of the largest, most Complete Fly Fishing Outfitters on the East Coast. With 3 retail locations and a significant eCommerce business, TCO can offer the widest selection of the best products available in the Fly Fishing industry. TCO is committed to providing superior customer service.
In 1988, Auntie Anne's founders Anne and Jonas Beiler purchased a Pennsylvania farmers' market stand, where they experimented with dough until they created a pretzel that seemed to strike the perfect chord with their customers. Today, at their more than 1,500 locations worldwide, the pretzel makers still hand roll the original recipe but have added to the menu with inventive options, such as the Pepperoni Pretzel and eight signature dipping sauces. The team constantly explores new uses for the pretzel dough, such as wrapping it around hot dogs or slicing it into bite-size nuggets. To transform the snack into a meal, they accompany it with specialty drinks, including Frozen Lemonade Mixers.
When not twisting dough, Auntie Anne's team partners with the national charitable organization Alex?s Lemonade Stand Foundation, which raises funds to fight childhood cancer. They also reach out to local communities through fundraising opportunities.
For 35 years and counting, artists Charles and Susie Andrews have helmed a gallery displaying the work of Pennsylvania artists alongside nationally recognized artists from across the country. In addition to curating an art space, the staff also specializes in custom framing and fastidious photo-restoration services to help customers adorn their homes and offices with art and archival-quality framing. Their restorers retouch art and photos with dedicated attention to detail, breathing new life into sepia-toned relics by repairing damage such as mold spots, water damage, cracks, discoloration, or shattered monocles. Their artistic eyes especially come in handy when restoring compositional problems such as redeye, underexposure, or awkward backlighting. In addition to the finished piece, clients also receive photo documentation of any work done.
Whole Foods Market's commitment to the interdependent network of sustainable farms and organic producers can be seen in its carefully selected product lines. The homegrown 365 Everyday Value brand makes it easy to eat naturally, organically, and economically. It features an array of items from all product categories, including groceries, vitamins, household items, and more—each manufactured to meet the rigorous quality standards woven into the fabric of Whole Foods Market, which itself is made from 100% alpaca wool.
Serving central Pennsylvania for more than 37 years, The Kitchen Shoppe educates aspiring and experienced culinarians in a broad range of topics, many of which are hands-on. The spacious facility hosts hundreds of cooking classes every year, each taught by a professional chef or cookbook author. Upcoming demonstration classes include a collaboration between Victory Brewing Company and Chef Ryan Clay, where the chef will prepare beer-infused menu such as swordfish with sauteed shrimp in a Victory Prima Pils sauce ($59), and a From the Spring Kitchen Garden class ($59), where gardener and author David Hirsch will demonstrate Spring-themed recipes such as Provencal White Beans w/Aromatic Herbs & Fennel from his newest cookbook, Moosewood Restaurant Kitchen Garden Book. Hands-on courses invite home cooks to explore new cooking techniques, from preserving fruit ($39) and making potato and cheese-filled pierogies from scratch ($49), to learning baking basics and creating themed meals such as the I've Got the Blues dinner, which sates cerulean-seeking stomachs with blue corn crab cakes, cilantro blue cheese slaw, and braised blue suede shoes ($59). With class sizes limited to 32–50 people, all participants have the opportunity to ask questions of the knowledgeable staff, request guidance from friendly instructors, or just share their custom-airbrushed R2-D2 apron with fellow space opera epicureans.

In a context where multiple infrastructure investments are on the rise, civil engineering organizations receive numerous contracts putting them in the difficult situation of recruiting specialized personnel. Thanks to its highly specialized expertise in the field of civil engineering, Consortech excels in technology solutions leading to considerable productivity gains and reductions in the number of design errors.
Civil engineering solutions recommended by Consortech are based on tried and tested technologies that rely on the innovative product of Autodesk: AutoCAD Civil 3D.
Civil 3D is a software that automates CAD functions relating to civil engineering through a dynamic 3D model with the capability to:
Consortech has the distinction of having a support team, two of whom are applications specialists who are the only ones in Canada holding the title Autodesk Implementation Expert, the highest certification level conferred by Autodesk for civil engineering. With in-depth knowledge of clients requirements, Consortechs specialist team can develop and implement integrated solutions; the company has trained more than 450 users on Civil 3D and has provided technical support for multiple civil engineering projects of varying complexities in Quebec. The expertise of its civil engineering specialists therefore goes beyond their knowledge of the softwares functionalities. They also understand the clients field of expertise a critical element that must be taken into consideration when choosing a service provider.
Moreover, an internal development team can make changes to the software so that it satisfies the specific requirements of the Quebec market. This capability has made it possible for us to create, among others, new sub-assemblies that address the specifications of highway engineering and to launch the SOLO Civil product that sets the parameters of Civil 3D so that it complies with the standards of the Quebec Transportation Minister.
We are also very active in the community of users; we organize bi-annual meetings for Civil 3D user groups during which we assist participants in refining their knowledge and skills in an environment conducive for dialogue and exchange.
Civil 3D User Group
Consortech is working actively to promote and adopt the BIM concept of exchanging information in 3D with buyers as well as with different parties involved in civil ecosystems. We also advocate the idea of getting involved as soon as builders are engaged in the engineering aspects of a civil works project because the idea of working with a virtual model done in Civil 3D enables a builder to intervene earlier and to demonstrate to the engineer the impact that the design will have upon execution.
As a member of various professional associations such as the AICQ, CERIU and ACRGTQ, Consortech wishes to keep abreast of issues affecting the industry. This is one way we can maintain specific knowledge of our clients business activities, enabling us to offer them customized solutions aimed to increase productivity gains and reduce delays and costs relating to project design and execution.

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 Smoke!
Facts about Smoke
- Breed: Domestic Shorthair
- Color: Gray Or Blue (Mostly)
- Age: Adult
- Sex: Male
- Hair: Short
Smoke's Info...
I am already neutered, up to date with shots, and good with cats.
Smoke is one awesome cat. He is affectionate and playful. He is talkative and sweet. He showed up one day on someone's porch and wouldn't take no for an answer. This is a gentle giant with a great personality.
Other Pets at Kitten Krazy, Inc.
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Smoke, a Medina Domestic Shorthair cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Shorthair for sale in Medina, or seeking a Domestic Shorthair cat from a breeder in Medina.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Medina 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 Medina 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 Domestic Shorthair breeders who help with Domestic Shorthair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Medina paves the way for another one to be saved.

Thanks to a second-half flourish, Barron's stock selections finished 2012 comfortably ahead of the market.
Shares of the 121 companies that were the subject of favorable articles during 2012 rose an average of 9%, more than double the 4.1% gain in their benchmark indexes, measured from the Friday before publication through year end. Including dividends, the bullish picks increased 9.8%, versus a 5.1% rise in the indexes.

Our tally includes company-specific articles in Barron's and excludes broad industry stories that touch on many companies. It also doesn't reflect the stock picks and pans of our many columnists, who do their own report cards.
We measure stocks against relevant benchmarks, using the Standard & Poor's 500 index for large companies, the S&P MidCap 400 for midsize companies, and the Russell 2000 for small stocks. We also benchmark foreign stocks against the S&P 500. In our weekly follow-up section, we sometimes declare victory on a successful bullish or bearish call, or admit defeat. When that happens, we run the return calculation through the follow-up date, not year end.
The biggest winner among bullish articles, Sarepta Therapeutics, released favorable results in October from a clinical trial for a drug designed to stimulate the missing protein in boys suffering from Duchenne muscular dystrophy, a fatal muscle-wasting disease. Those results have raised expectations that the Sarepta drug will gain regulatory approval and generate significant revenue for the formerly obscure company.

COLUMBUS — Danielle Smith was surprised by her reaction to the "Speaking Volumes, Transforming Hate" exhibit at the Yellowstone Art Museum.
The Columbus High School senior, along with her classmates, had already watched an introductory slide presentation and they'd already spent several weeks discussing issues of social justice. Yet, until she visited the exhibit in person, she wasn't convinced that hatred could be transformed into something positive.
"Actually, going there was kind of inspiring," she said. "It gave me hope that things could be different."
Of the dozens of pieces on display, she was particularly drawn to "Smoke and Mirrors" by Stephen Glueckert. The artwork depicted, among other things, a white rat eating cheese and a black rat bound by a chain too short to allow it to reach the morsel.
"It made me think," Smith said, "how it would be utopia if all hatred were just smoke and mirrors."
Like Danielle, Kelsey Hall, a sophomore at Columbus High, was moved by the exhibit. She said it opened her eyes to the sadness suffered by those targeted by prejudice. As part of related school activities, she penned a poem inspired by one of the pieces. She was disappointed, however, that some of her peers made light of the unusual works of art.
"If people had looked more into the art and tried to understand it, it might have had more impact on them," she said.
Smith and Hall were two of more than 400 Stillwater County students who will visit the exhibit at the YAM, thanks to a grant from Humanities Montana and the enthusiasm of Robert Smith (no relation to Danielle), assistant librarian at the Stillwater County Library.
Robert Smith had attended the exhibit's opening in Helena in January 2008 and vowed to involve local youth when the exhibit arrived in Billings.
"I thought, when this comes to our area, we have to see what we can do about getting the word out to the schools," he said. "If there's one student who walks away from this seeing things differently, that's what this is about."
His efforts culminated in bringing Katie Knight, curator of the exhibition, to Stillwater County in early March. Through presentations at two county schools and workshops for teachers, she hoped students and staff would be better prepared to formulate their own interpretations.
"Sometimes we're different appearing and sometimes we're different thinking," she said. "But we have an innate sense of social justice."
Casey Olsen, English teacher at Columbus High, incorporated role playing, reading assignments and online student discussions into his regular curriculum on social justice. The real learning doesn't take place until students get a chance to interact and respond, he said.
"And writing allows them to do that," he said.
Yet Olsen was well aware that the students themselves carry more influence with their peers than words from an authority figure.
Hall "is better able to carry the message in a format that might be better accepted," Olsen said.
Among the cross-curricular studies at Columbus High, students in Mike Moodry's government class linked the exhibit with an exercise in lawmaking. Columbus High senior Rob Corson, who was especially drawn to the historical aspects of social justice, said his class formed a model legislative body to craft a human rights bill. The debate that took place while writing the bill revealed a range of perspectives among students.
Corson acknowledged that there's little diversity in the town of 1,800. For the most part, he added, students don't think about racial differences because they've grown up together.
"But you do see it (prejudice)," he said. "Some people don't even realize they're doing it."

Specifically, Thomas F. Wilson delivered one of the all-time great bad-guy performances as full-time butthead Biff Tannen. Not only did Wilson portray a hilarious high school bully, but also a corrupt empire-building gambler, a futuristic psycho and a black-hat wearing evil cowboy. That he did it all within variations on the same hilariously bonehead persona was no easy task for the confirmed nice-guy actor/comedian. It's a performance so good that he's never quite managed to slip out from under Biff's shadow.

Dr. Moose is in!
"I already know I don't want you to stick me," said Dana!.JACK-fm listener & blood donator today at Bloodstock 09. I think she meant that she would rather leave the fancy needle work to the pro's of the American Red Cross. We're here till 7pm at Opry Mills, so if you can donate blood we'd think a lot of nice things about you. Oh, and if you aren't sure if you can actually donate or not stop by anyway. If you come by and can't donate, we'll still float you some SAW VI passes or something. That's all for now.

A public hearing was held for conditional use & set-back variances requested by Mr. Bruce Wittenberg to allow the property at 4980 Service Drive to be used as a D-3 conditional use for multiple apartment dwellings in an M-1 Light Manufacturing Zone. A 40.5 foot set back variance request was also addressed. Wittenberg and Gordon Matthees were in attendance. The apartment complex will have a total of 47 units and 102 parking spaces including 30 garage spaces. There will be two 3 story buildings and two 2 1/2 story buildings. Councilman Brinkman questioned if the construction would be buildings moved to the site. Wittenberg stated this would be new stick built on site. Councilmember Andring brought up concerns regarding the location of the apartment site next to the Xcel Energy equipment parking & building and noise issues. Councilmember Bowman expressed concerns about flood lights. Wittenberg stated that he is willing to include the trees and fencing for a desirable site. Councilman Andring suggested that eight feet fencing should be installed before construction. Greg Volkart, Director of Public Utilities, said there is fencing in place along the site's rear. A buffer area will be in place on the Hoffman Designs side with the construction of the 30 garage spaces. Volkart stated that Hoffman Signs has no problem with either the conditional use or the setback variance. Xcel Energy stated that they had no problem either. Volkart stated that the 30 foot easement is for sewer main to the property, but can be used for parking, trees and fencing. Councilmember Ledebuhr expressed concerns about residential building in an industrial area. Volkart stated that letters were sent to all residents within 500 feet of the site area notifying citizens of the possible construction to take place. To date there has not been any disapproval of the construction by those notified. Volkart also stated that Wittenberg has met all requirements for the D-3 dwelling status. The conditional use and variance was approved.
Mayor Weimerskirch indicated that on Friday, September 28, 2007 Governor Pawlenty was in Winona and that he had a chance to speak with the governor about flood issues and financing. The Mayor also attended a meeting on Saturday with Senator Norm Coleman in Winona regarding many of the same financial concerns. The Water Resources Development Act bill status was discussed. Senator Coleman stated that if vetoed by the president there will be an attempt to override his veto. The Mayor conveyed the City's thanks to both the governor and Senator Coleman.
Greg Volkart reviewed water test results for Goodview Lake, and the Winona Aggregate Pit area. He indicated that the final fall testing is complete and there will be two more tests in the spring. This may change once the MPCA reviews all the results during the week of October 8. Greg Volkart stated that test results have been declining all along and the testing results meet state requirements.
Mayor Weimerskirch reviewed the update for the Lighted Holiday Parade to be held on December 1, 2007, with a fireworks display at the end of the parade at the ball field located on 9th & 44th behind the Elk's Lodge. Clean-up of the fireworks debris would depend on the snow coverage at the time of the event. Contacts for the event were the Goodview Activity Group, Cindy Westby, and Bev Keiper.
Mayor Weimerskirch expressed his and the council's appreciation for the on-call schedule for the City maintenance workers. Volkart indicated that to date Woodhaven construction of water and sewer mains are all in and testing will be either Tuesday or Wednesday of the week of October 1. Street reconstruction in the Grandview area will be completed by the end of Tuesday. Highway crossing and boring is to begin by the end of the week. Dewatering of the highway crossing is not affecting the lake level. The lake is still dropping an average of three-quarters of an inch per day. Water and sewer hookups may be possible before winter but depends on the weather. Curb and gutter will be put in on Tuesday or Wednesday with a cure time of 7-10 days. Once complete, blacktopping can proceed based on weather cooperation. Construction completion date is November 15, 2007.
Councilmember Ledebuhr questioned fill issues on the Pete Feils property in Hub-Mil. Greg Volkart stated that currently the City has no use for the fill and thus it would be available to Mr. Feils. Any remaining fill would have to be removed by the contractor.
The railroad crossing at 69th Avenue was discussed. Volkart stated the project is still in the process, but flood damage to the railroad infrastructure in the area has stopped all progress.
Mayor Weimerskirch stated that Pelzer Street is scheduled for opening on Wednesday. Discussion pursued regarding lights located at Hwy. 61 and 54th Avenue and their removal once construction is complete. The state has not responded to the City Administrator's letter requesting that the lights become permanent.

The function of miRNAs appears to be in gene regulation. For that purpose, a miRNA is complementary to a part of one or more messenger RNAs (mRNAs). Animal miRNAs are usually complementary to a site in the 3' UTR whereas plant miRNAs are usually complementary to coding regions of mRNAs. Perfect or near perfect base pairing with the target RNA promotes cleavage of the RNA. This is the primary mode of plant microRNAs.
In animals, microRNAs more often only partially base pair and inhibit protein translation of the target mRNA (this exists in plants as well but is less common). For partially complementary microRNA to recognise their targets, the nucleotides 2–7 of the miRNA ('seed region'), still have to be perfectly complementary.
miRNAs occasionally also causes DNA methylation of promoter sites and therefore affecting the expression of targeted genes. miRNAs function in association with a complement of proteins collectively termed the miRNP. Human miRNPs contain eIF2C2 (also known as Argonaute 2), DDX20, GEMIN4 and microRNA.
Animal microRNAs target in particular developmental genes. In contrast, genes involved in functions common to all cells, such as gene expression, have very few microRNA target sites, and seem to be under selection to avoid targeting by microRNAs.
This effect was first described for the worm ''C. elegans'' in 1993 by Victor Ambros and coworkers. As of 2002, miRNAs have been confirmed in various plants and animals, including ''C. elegans'', human and the plant ''Arabidopsis thaliana''. Work at the University of Louisville has resulted in the production of microarrays dubbed MMChips containing all then known miRNAs for human, mouse, rat, dog, ''C. elegans'' and ''Drosophila''.
Mirtrons are the type of microRNAs which are located in the introns of the mRNA encoding host genes. All the miRNAs in plants are derived from the sequential DCL1 cleavages from pri-miRNA to give pre-miRNA (or miRNA precursor). But the mirtrons bypass the DCL1 cleavage and enter as pre-miRNA in the miRNA maturation pathway.

Remember Franky Zapata's Flyboard, which turned him into a sort of aquatic Iron Man? Now there's a company making what they call the Jetovator, which similarly uses water propulsion, but this time wrapped in a more motorcycle-like form factor that they claim is very easy to ride. Check it out:
Looks pretty wicked, no? There is, however, a limitation to both the Jetovator and Zapata's Flyboard that you generally don't see highlighted in press coverage or in their awesome videos: Both systems lack their own power source and must be tethered (via that big-ass hose) to a nearby jet ski with its own operator whose job it is to keep the throttle open. It's still cool as heck, but just means you and a buddy will have to take turns.

The location of the villa on the lushly planted plot was determined by both the magnificent beech trees and Douglas firs and the layout of the shady garden. To ensure a maximum of sunlight and privacy in the garden, the building was situated along the road. The elongated volume acts as a screen between the sunny part of the garden and the road.
The simple overall shape of the house is outlined by the long, corrugated roof, below which an expanse of space has been created. On the side of the road the facade has been kept closed, clad with timber aging to a beautiful silvery sheen. On the garden side mezzanines and glass fronts transform the building's mass into a light and airy volume.

Parents in Atlanta want answers after a health scare created panic at a local elementary school Monday.
State inspectors are still searching for the cause of a carbon monoxide leak that forced the evacuation of 500 children from Fitch Elementary School.
More than 50 students and adults were rushed to the hospital after being exposed the deadly gas.
One student said his teacher was in the middle of talking about a project when they all passed out.
"It hurted like right here, pretty bad," student Naqaviya Notae said.
One-by-one, students began raising their hands, complaining of headaches, nausea, and dizziness.
Panic spread within an hour and the schools principal Carol Evans ordered the evacuation.
"My baby's at the hospital and he already has bronchitis and asthma and I told them that and they wouldn't go check for me or nothing," complained concerned parent, Tokie Price.
Other parents who rushed to the scene reported kids laying on the floor.
Firefighters detected carbon monoxide levels reaching as high as 1,700 parts per million and declared it a mass case of carbon monoxide poisoning.
Health officials say people should limit their exposure to only 50 parts per million over an 8-hour period.
"The readings are at that level that it would only take about three seconds of exposure to have somebody pass out, so they're extremely dangerous readings," Battalion Chief Todd Edwards, with the Atlanta Fire Department, said
Carbon monoxide is an odorless, colorless gas that can cause sudden illness and even death.
Atlanta school leaders believe a faulty boiler is to blame and said the school will be closed until necessary repairs are made.
Until then, students will attend classes at a nearby middle school.
