Brutal Exploitation Picture Looks Good But Feels As Empty As Its HOUSE
Nov 18, 2013
I never like to mince words on what I think of any particular film or DVD, and, under most circumstances, THE SEASONING HOUSE is one of those flicks I can take or leave. At its core, it's a revenge picture (of sorts) where the lead character finds herself trapped in the black market of cold, cruel exploitation – sex trafficking – but, to its credit, it stylistically tries to be something a bit more: a kinda/sorta character study through flashbacks of how one young victim found herself forced into sexual slavery where presumably anything goes. The sad part is that on that character front it isn't really all that effective, and that somewhat lessens the impact of its central theme: sex without consequence doesn't exist any longer.
However, at all times, THE SEASONING HOUSE is indeed brilliantly crafted, an impressive work culled together by director Paul Hyett.
(NOTE: The following review will contain minor spoilers necessary solely for the discussion of plot and/or character. If you're the type of reader who prefers a review entirely spoiler-free, then I'd encourage you to skip down to the last three paragraphs for my final assessment. If, however, you're accepting of a few modest hints at 'things to come,' then read on …)
Angel (played with great conviction by a promising Rosie Day) is a young mute who finds herself orphaned by the war-time conflict raging in her unnamed homeland. Against her will, she finds herself throw aboard a truck and carted off to a nearby hotel, where the manager Viktor becomes smitten with her youthful, innocent charms. Realizing she could never survive as one of his house prostitutes, he instead takes her aboard as someone to serve as a 'caretaker' to the girls, helping to make them ready for the vile sexual torture they're about to endure (which basically amounts to shooting them up with drugs). However, Angel eventually befriends one of the captured ladies, and this forces her to re-examine her past and present while secretly plotting her escape for the future.
THE SEASONING HOUSE shares an awful lot with traditional exploitation films of the late 1970's and early 80's. It posits a world where sex is used as currency as well as punishment for burly, rough, uncaring men. All the women featured are lost in some state of victimhood while only one – Angel – has the key (literally) that could deliver her freedom. The problem? She doesn't have the courage to use it until it's almost too late.
Hyett directs from a script that he helped craft (he's sharing credit with Conal Palmer), and therein may lie the problem with HOUSE: there's an awful lot of it that doesn't make much literal sense. I believe his explanation may aesthetically be that greater specificity isn't central to the story being told, but the ongoing lack of clarity kept forcing me to question just what was going on. For starters, "when" are we? Is this the past? Is it some glimpse at a possible tomorrow? There's part of me that suspects both possibilities – never a good perspective to be in as a viewer – because the environment offers up clues for either supposition. However, the men are soldiers who've apparently overrun another country; these men speak in heavy Russian accents, but, one more than one occasion, they're shown paying Viktor in U.S. dollars. How would they get those? Is this supposed to be Amerika being occupied by an invading army? If so, why do the invaders speak English to one another? Why don't they converse in their native language?
Also, who in the name of Sam Hill designed this house? One of the story's conceits is that there's ample crawlspaces between these rooms in order for Angel to secretly make her way around without drawing Viktor or his guard's attention. That's all well and good, but, by the end, one starts to wonder why it is there's so much living space behind the walls as opposed to in front of it. I understand that, to some degree, this was only intended to be a plot device; still, all plot devices need to have some logic behind their creation, and this one really made me question whether a legitimate architect or builder made this house … or was it designed by a pair of screenwriters?
I realize that some of these questions may have answers that rely on the business demands, breaking that wall into the real world outside (ours) – perhaps for purposes of insuring the best business it was easier to avoid producing a foreign language picture – but because these narrative conflicts kept popping up again and again and again they ended up screaming out in places when they shouldn't have. They end up 'distracting' when they should have been an organic part of the story, and I can't help but wonder if this was the necessary quirks of a first-time director (HOUSE is Hyett's debut directing gig).
What's entirely impressive, nonetheless, is the job the director does in putting the pieces of his story together. As a thriller, it's mostly effective. There are some solid sequences that play nicely (and a bit gruesomely) into the experience. Instead of watching this one again (ever), I'd be more inclined to see what Hyett can do with a more accomplished script. Same thing for Day. They showed up to play, and I'd love to see what they can do with a project given ample pre-production attention.
THE SEASONING HOUSE (2012) is produced by Sterling Pictures, Templeheart Films, and Filmgate Films. DVD distribution is being handled through Well Go USA Entertainment. As for the technical specifications, the film is sharply made, and there's great care that's been put into its various sights and sounds, along with some winning cinematography. As for the special features, it comes with the usual obligatory 'making of' short (about 15 minutes) that really doesn't reveal all that much into the story or vision, but it's nice to have something, isn't it? Plus, there is the theatrical trailer.
RECOMMENDED. It goes without saying that the subject matter of THE SEASONING HOUSE is not going to be everyone's cup of tea, and I certainly don't blame them: I'm not entirely certain it's my cup of tea! The script toys with male dominance themes as they apply to sex in this curiously under-developed world (i.e. is this our future? Is this our past? Why does everyone speak with Russian accents but soldiers pay with U.S. money? How was this house constructed with more space behind its walls than in front of them?), and its sleight of hand is likely to offend many in the audience. That, and there's no characterization to speak of. This is a white-knuckles-bared thriller – nothing more – so don't look for anything else, and you're likely to be entertained by it. Otherwise, it's a morally bankrupt about a morally bankrupt universe … with a downbeat ending that almost promises a follow-up (though none is needed).
In the interests of fairness, I'm pleased to disclose that the fine folks at Well GO USA Entertainment provided me with a DVD copy of THE SEASONING HOUSE by request for the expressed purposes of completing this review.

Missouri man shot by relative during argument over Super Bowl
A man is hospitalized in St. Louis after a shooting spurred by an argument over the Super Bowl.
The shooting happened early Monday in the city's Central West End. KMOV-TV reports that a 47-year-old man had just awakened when he was shot by a 50-year-old relative.
The shooting happened hours after the Seattle Seahawks' lopsided 43-8 win over Denver in the Super Bowl, but it wasn't clear what exactly the men argued about.
The victim is hospitalized in critical condition. Police have not disclosed names or specific details about the relationship. Authorities say both men were intoxicated when the shooting occurred.

Last night, an Enchanter friend tried helping me to get Miragul's head and robe. She couldn't charm the Lich. I took a gamble and just handed Miragul's Phylactery to it and the real Lich spawned.
So, I can confirm that you do not need to charm it any longer. It is KoS, but does not attack, so just give it the Phylactery, kill it and loot head and robe.

When you are shoe shopping, avoid those that have been previously worn by someone else. These shoes have the imprint of the prior owner's foot, so they may not be the best fit. There is also a chance that you will be very susceptible to any foot fungus that has grown inside the shoe. As this article has just taught you, shoes are necessary for most people to wear. When you wear shoes, you should be wearing the best shoes for your feet. All that's left to do now is take these tips with you on your next trip to the store to buy shoes. Never buy a shoe that doesn't have at least a little wiggle room for your toes. Contrary to popular belief, the shoe doesn't have to fit snug at the top. Also, look for a heel that is between half and inch and one inch, for maximum comfort no matter what the occasion.
Most people need to wear shoes on a regular basis. This means that if you want to get information about shoes, you probably want to know what will work best for you. This will provide you with some of the most important tips for buying shoes intelligently.
Don't buy a pair of shoes that you have trouble walking in. Too many people do this, especially when it comes to dress shoes and high heels. If you cannot realistically wear it, then it is a waste of money. There is bound to be a shoe that looks great and is easy to walk in, so keep looking.
Advice is here for your new shoe shopping strategy! This article can help you make informed decisions. Keep reading to learn all you can about shoes. To get good deals on shoes, you should go online and sign up with your favorite shoe stores. By signing up to their newsletters, you will receive information about any upcoming sales. You will also receive coupons or possibly earn points toward future discounts. This can really make a difference in the amount of your purchase. Now that you have completed this article, you are prepared to try on shoes, by the pair you love and come home a happy shopper. Take these tips and gain the benefit you deserve from them. As you implement each, your shopping trips will get better and better, just you see! The Internet is full of many wonderful websites that offer great discounts on shoes, but it can be difficult to know what size to order. To get the best fit, find a brick and mortar store that sells the kind of shoe you want and try them on for size. Then you can order online and get a great price and a good fit. The following information is going to serve as a great guide for you when it comes to shoes. If you know anything about shoes, then you are aware that there are so many options. So wouldn't you like to know more about what that means for you and your shoes?
Remember that sales happen at the end of every season so that the shoe store can clear out its shelves to make room for new stock. Keep an eye on your favorite store to see when their sales occur in relation to the start of the next season, then you can predict the next sale.
Just because your running shoes continue to look good for many, many years, this does not mean that you should continue to wear them. They fail to provide much support after you have gone around 300-500 miles. After that point you should go out and start shopping for another pair.
Make sure you pay the right amount for your shoes. High-quality shoes are usually worth their weight in gold. However, don't fall for paying premium prices for shoes that celebrities endorse since the shoe's quality may not justify its price.
So you're on the hunt for a new pair of shoes and overwhelmed at all the choices staring you in the face. Don't let it be a difficult process any longer! You need good shoe buying tips and this article below is here to help. Keep reading to finally get that quality education on shoes. To keep your running shoes from coming untied, give them a gentle double knot before you start. Tie your normal bow knot, and then loosely add the second knot. That way your shoes stay on stably, but the knot does not slowly make your feet feel confined, and your run is not interrupted by flying shoelaces. Always opt for shoes that give you the most comfort. Your shoes are important for protecting your feet. When your shoes don't fit properly and feel right, this can actually cause damage to your feet. Get shoes that feel comfortable to make sure you don't cause problems for yourself down the road.

NEXT No. 3: John Wall
Expectations? Kentucky's Chosen One says bring 'em on
This story appears in the Dec. 14 issue of ESPN The Magazine.
NEXT 2010 content: No. 1 Kevin Durant | No. 2 Chris Johnson | No. 3 John Wall | No. 4 Stephen Strasburg | No. 5 Melanie Oudin | No. 6-10 | No. 11-15 | No. 16-20
It feels like a revival, minus the tambourines. But the institution of Kentucky basketball isn't some storefront church; it's a cathedral. So when the Wildcat faithful dubbed 6'4", 195-pound freshman guard John Wall a program savior, we did like any good skeptics would and looked for signs.
Seek and ye shall find: Wall has the blurry quicks of Derrick Rose, the fierce slashing of Dwyane Wade and the hops of, well ... just search "Jerry Stackhouse and John Wall" on YouTube and see for thine own self. The country's top-ranked prep point guard, Wall -- from Word of God Academy (N.C.) -- averaged 22.1 points, 5.5 assists, 5.2 rebounds and 2.0 steals per game as a senior. And despite an eligibility scare this fall, he has the denizens of Lexington believing that only divine intervention (or the NBA's age minimum) can hold him back. Forgive them, then, if they get a hair blasphemous with the nicknames he says they've given him: "The Messiah's Son" and "God" make "The Great Wall of Kentucky" seem quaint. Here at The Mag, we like the sound of "NEXT" ... which is hardly a new hymn for Wall. We chatted with him about some of his biggest firsts.To continue reading this article you must be an Insider

Together they weigh 975 pounds and stand nearly 31 feet tall. They've claimed dozens of awards and banked millions of dollars (well, except for the college freshman). They've teed up highlights and appeared more than 150 million times on Google. And, crazy as it sounds, they're just getting started. That's why ESPN The Magazine has named the following five athletes NEXT finalists.

You're a Wizard, crab!
Morello is pretty beefy. I've never met WizardCrab face to face. I'm ruthless and shameless. Hard to say. Will we be playing league, fisticuffs or talking to strangers in the cage?
Who do I talk to in order to get the Japan payment options to stop asking me for an American zip code for my credit card?

This briefcase if beautiful, and I love the way it looks. Unfortunately, it is not made well. After the second time I carried it, the handle wraps on both handles came apart. I'm hoping I can hot glue or sew them back in place - because it is SO beautiful. I was just really disappointed that it fell apart so quickly after getting it.
was looking for a bag to match some shoes I had just purchased and happened upon this one. The match is perfect, the quality is amazing for the price and the delivery was speedy. II made my first purchase at Overstock in the 1998/1999 time frame and I have never been disappointed. Thanks again Overstock.com.
Happy to own this bag and I feel real dressy when having this bag on my side. It just blends in with my professional style and taste. Great presentation accessory.
i LOVE THIS TOTE, BUT IT WAS NOT BIG ENOUGH FOR WHAT i WANTED TO USE IT FOR.

Yay kk
Malefic Vision
So I haven't really browsed this whole post, but a friend and I just queued up and our ADC was level 24. Everyone else in the game was level 30 and a few had 1k wins. He had 100 and easily cost us the game because of his lack of experience/competitive runes. Any of these changes have anything to do with this? I've never had this happen before.
Junior Member
so your placement games will be even more terror now hue
Hopefully this will balance matchmaking. (?)
The Black Kníght
well I Keep getting matched with 100 200 wins players, it's ANNOYING they dont know how to play, and if I complain about it then, "it's just normal chill", and the best part is that the enemy team gets every player with even and more wins than me, is like the system says F***K u thats why!. I dont play to lose, neither to play with unskilled players, match them with their similars dont match them with me, i'm not pro but i cant carry them all if they cant do anything for the team.... it's been 2 weeks since this annoying matchmaking.
Please program some slack once you get past a certain large amount of wins, because I'm close to the 2000 win mark and my ques have gone from 10 seconds to up to 5 minutes consecutively Maybe something where you have brackets of wins that grouped together that grow once you get past a marker. Like 1000
This is really great change Lyte. While it's not perfect; when the matchmaking system does work, it works well.
So I have a question. I have a smurf with a high normal elo and 147 wins and I think 50 something loses. So what will happen in this situation? Is the elo part being thrown out and ill just face 150 win players?
Not sure if this already exist or not. 3 man premades must play vs 3 man premades 4 man premades must play vs 4 man premades 5 man prmades must play vs 5 man premades. You know how easy it is to make a win with 3+ man premades.

Bits & Pieces -- August 5
This getting older is for the birds. I hate not being able to see as well as I used to. I mean I can't ever get dressed without my glasses on. You can't see snaps, hooks and buttons without them and heaven forbid I would put something on backwards, like a shirt or slacks. I remember in my younger years seeing or hearing of someone doing that and thought it was funny. It is no longer funny.

Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini has denied holding talks with Lille about the possibility of bringing in Eden Hazard.
Reports had suggested that City were lining up a January move for Hazard as Mancini prepares for the departure of Yaya Toure to the African Cup of Nations.
Hazard's agent claimed earlier this week that the Premier League club were interested, but Mancini says there has been no approach at this stage.
While Mancini is an admirer of the Belgian playmaker, he has no plans to try and secure his services in the New Year.
Good player
"No, this is not true," he said on Sky Sports News.
"He is a good player but at this moment we have not spoken about him."
Mancini is keen to keep hold of Toure for as long as possible before he links up with Ivory Coast for international duty, and hopes to have him available for the FA Cup tie against Manchester United on 8th January.
"We are trying (to delay his departure) but it is difficult I think," said the Italian.
"I think Yaya should leave after United."

WHY: Osmosis. Tubes leak up to 10 psi per day. Also hurts cornering and acceleration.
NOW YOU GET IT: Check tire pressure a minimum of once a week. Or every ride. Whichever comes first.
WHY: Recommended pressures printed on sidewalls are averages� psi can be squishy for 210-pound guy. Or a 103-pound gal will bounce around.
NOW YOU GET IT: Experiment in increments of 5 psi until bike feels like it floats without being jittery. Really—it's a feel thing.=
WHY: When cables and springs stretch, or pivots, chains and teeth wear out, it can take two or three pedal revolutions to shift. Less time hammering, time futzing with gears. Or it happens so gradually you don't notice until the bike won't shift at all.
NOW YOU GET IT: Trouble shifting to small cogs: Rotate the barrel adjuster (on shifter or rear derailleur) a quarter-turn clockwise. Trouble shifting to the larger cogs: Rotate the barrel adjuster a quarter-turn counter-clockwise. Front derailleur: If cable is slack when shifted to smallest ring, loosen the fixing bolt on derailleur body, pull slack through and re-tighten. If that doesn't work or cable wasn't slack—and you don't know what to do next—go to a shop. It's too complicated.

Cramer's 'Mad Money' Recap: Stick With What Works
Executive Decision
In the "Executive Decision" segment, Cramer sat down with Paul Palmieri, president and CEO of Millennial Media (MM - Get Report), a company that delivered what Wall Street saw as a disastrous quarter, sending shares lower by 37% in just 24 hours.
Palmieri said Millennial Media actually had a great quarter, with 68% revenue growth in its fourth quarter and also great margins. Where the company fell short, he said, was in its guidance. Full-year guidance remains essentially the same, Palmieri noted, but the fourth quarter did see some deals not close as expected.
When asked whether those unsigned deals represented additional competitive threats from the likes of Google and others, Palmieri said that nothing has fundamentally changed in the competitive landscape for Millennial. He said his company has been competing with Google all along and continues to do so. Overall, Palmieri said he's still excited about his business and the opportunities going forward.
Cramer told viewers to go over the company's conference call and re-read the notes because he feels there was an overreaction to the downside.No Huddle Offense
In his "No Huddle Offense" segment, Cramer cautioned investors not to put much attention on month-old minutes from the Federal Reserve's last meeting. He said while the market is currently pondering the effects of sequestration cuts in our military and domestic spending, these cuts where not on the Fed's radar a month ago. Furthermore, Cramer said the Fed has a track record of either being woefully behind the curve when it comes to the economy or, at times, completely blind to the situation at hand. So should investors be putting a lot of faith into what the Fed thought of the economy a few weeks ago? Probably not.

Latest Deepwater Horizon Stories
After the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill, much of the oil that leaked into the Gulf of Mexico disappeared, with scientists suspecting that it sank to the seafloor and out of view.
Settlement includes alleged punitive damage claims and assigned claims for commercial fishermen and property owners directly affected by oil MT. PLEASANT, S.C., Sept.
A new study of the ocean circulation patterns at the site of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill reveals the significant role small-scale ocean currents play in the spread of pollutants.
The environmental impact of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill is more widespread than previously believed, as experts have located two additional deep-water coral communities that were damaged by the 2010 disaster.
When the Deepwater Horizon released about 210 million gallons of oil into the Gulf of Mexico in 2010, 1.84 million gallons of chemical dispersants were pumped into the Gulf to break up the oil and eliminate oil slicks across the surface of the water.
SAN FRANCISCO, June 24, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Law Finance Group ("LFG") continues to fund attorneys who are navigating the BP Deepwater Horizon Settlement Program.
A Cash-Out Solution is Now Available For the First Time in the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill Litigation FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., PANAMA CITY, Fla., NEW ORLEANS, MOBILE, Ala., HOUSTON,
While oil from the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill isn't visible on the surface of the ocean, it continues to wash ashore in the form of small "patties" of oil and sand.

He gained an early reputation as the "people's attorney" by defending without a fee Boston residents seeking regulation of local public utilities.

Subject: | Latin America Caribbean Haiti Energy Policy Power Consumption Development Production Distribution Wind Sun Biomass Water Resource Green Electric Renewable Alternative Clean Hydro Solar Geothermal Biofuels Natural Environmental |
Abstract: | Due to the fact that Haiti faces several years in a major energy crisis, largely due to the lack of a national energy policy expressing a coherent vision and objectives and clear guidance, this document was made to fill this need. In particular it targets the status of the country's energy independence, the source of energy sources and the distribution of consumption; the level of access to energy resources and delivery standards; conservation actions and control of environmental effects; and the incentives to stimulate the energy market. It also promotes research and development operations of renewable energy resources available in Haiti, including: solar, wind, hydropower and biofuels. |

Syracuse is right next door and Rocha is from my Moms home zone, Rochester. We upstaters know the big secret the rest of the Nation doesnt know- We have most of the clean water, an abundance of clean NRG production and prospects, the most beautiful hills, valleys, fields, streams and forests plus nearly the best hunting, fishing and trapping in the world and one of the greatest potentials to rebound as a region in the entire country if not world. All we have to do is find some way of getting rid of the Albanizers....
It's surprising..or maybe not..that people elsewhere don't know just how big/varied this state is. I found that out while in the military.

Sandra Bullock didn't quite know what she was getting when she signed on to "Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close" with child actor Thomas Horn. On the DVD and Blu-ray edition of the Oscar-nominated film, on sale today, Bullock describes the moment she realized Horn, who won "Jeopardy's" kids week in 2010, was really, really smart.
"That little kid, I would walk by his room and he's speaking Mandarin," she says. "I was like, really? I'm just trying to butter my bagel in the right way and not get it on my clothes, and you're speaking Mandarin. That damn kid and his acting chops. I mean like, him being smart and winning 'Jeopardy' isn't bad enough. He then has to step into my business and show us all up."

Ralf Schumacher is to leave Toyota at the end of the season, he confirmed on Monday. Speaking in Shanghai, where he is preparing for his penultimate race with the Japanese team, Schumacher said he has decided to look for a new challenge.
Schumacher joined Toyota from Williams for the 2005 season, but has since enjoyed limited success, with three podiums his best results for the team. In a statement on his official website, the German admitted it had been an interesting, if somewhat frustrating three years.
"I joined Toyota with high expectations, he said. On the one hand, I regarded it as a major and exciting challenge to be involved in the development of a new racing car. On the other hand, I also learned to like the Japanese style of living, during my long stay in Japan before entering Formula One. And I still get on well with the Japanese mentality. But I am waiting for years for a competitive car."
He added: "Toyota also was a nice and interesting experience - particularly the cooperation with the team, engineers and mechanics. Still, its time now to look for a new challenge."
Concerning his future plans, Schumacher commented: I'm going to have several conversations in the coming weeks. I will announce my decision when the season is over. For me, the financial aspect is far less important than the chance of being involved in the development of a car and being successful afterwards."
Schumacher, a six-time Grand Prix winner with Williams, has scored five points this season, his best result a sixth place in Hungary.

Smartphone maker Blackberry has acquired its long time partner Secusmart, a German voice encryption provider, in order to make its devices more secure.
Secusmart provides data and voice encryption service along with anti-eavesdropping solutions for telecommunications service providers, enterprises as well as government organisations.
Previously the company collaborated with Blackberry to bring the SecuSUITE for BlackBerry10 that protects the phone from third party attack by providing anti-eavesdropping security.
The acquisition is BlackBerry's attempt to get an edge over its competitors such as Samsung and Apple to develop smartphones that offer an additional layer of security.
John Chen, Executive Chairman and CEO, BlackBerry, said: "The acquisition of Secusmart underscores our focus on addressing growing security costs and threats ranging from individual privacy to national security."
"This acquisition bolsters our security solutions with leading voice and data encryption and anti-eavesdropping technologies, and furthers BlackBerry's security leadership in end-to-end mobile solutions."

text: Image text transcribed for accessibility: Use the circuit in Figure 1 to model a portable flashing light circuit. Assume four 1 5 batteries power the circuit and the capacitor value is 10 mu F. Assume that the lamp conducts when its voltage reaches 4 V am stops conducting when its voltage reaches below 1V. The lamp has a resistance of 20 k ohm when it is conducting and has an infinite resistance when not conducting Design a circuit such that we don't have to wait more than 10 seconds in between flashes. Show all of you work How long does the flash of light last In your design? In the circuit of figure 1, the lamp starts to conduct whenever the lamp voltage reaches 15 V During the time when the lamp conducts. It can be modeled as a 10 k Ohm resistor Once the lamp conducts, it will continue to conduct until the lamp voltage drops to 5V When the lamp is not conducting, it appears as an open circuit. V, = 40V and C = 25 mu F The resistor R is adjusted until the lamp flashes 12 times per minute. What is the value of R? You can probably think of many different application! that require a flashing light A still camera take pictures In low light conditions employs a bright flash of light to illuminate the scene for just long enough to record the image on film Generally the camera cannot take another picture until the that creates the flash of light has "re-charged" Other applications use flashing lights as warning or hazards, such as tall antenna towers, constructs sites, and secure areas. In designing circuits to produce a flash of light the engineer must know the requirements of the application for example, the design engineer has to know whether the flash ,s controlled manually by operating a switch (as In the case of a camera) or ,if the flash is, to repeat itself automatically at a predetermined rate The engineer also has to know if the flashing light is a permanent fixture (as on an antenna) or a temporary Installation (as a construction site) Another question that has to be answered is whether a power source is readily available We can design a flashing light circuit by analyzing a circuit consisting of a dc voltage source, a resistor, a capacitor and a lamp that is designed to discharge a flash of light at a critical voltage Such a circuit Is shown in the Figure 1.

WALLA WALLA - It takes three conventional-length golf courses to adequately host the Washington Junior Golf Association State Championships, which explains why Walla Walla has never served as the tournament site.
Because up until a couple of years ago, Walla Walla was a two-course town: The private Walla Walla Country Club and the public Veterans Memorial Golf Course.
But in April of 2009, the Wine Valley Golf Course - a spectacular 18-hole links layout that has drawn rave reviews and is recognized as one of the best new golf courses in the country - opened for business a few miles west of town, providing the Walla Walla area with that crucial third course.
And this week, the WJGA will come to town to hold its 35th annual state tournament. Play commences Wednesday on all three courses and concludes Friday at the country club.
A field of 252 of the state's best junior players are entered in four age divisions each for boys and girls. The players represent six districts throughout the state, and state qualifiers were determined during six district tournaments that were contested last week.
The countdown actually began several weeks ago when each district held a series of four sub-district tournaments that served as qualifiers for district play. In all, the WJGA membership is in excess of 1,100 golfers ranging in age from 8 to 17 based on June 1 birthdays.
The age divisions are 16-to-17, 14-to-15, 12-to-13 and 8-to-11. There are 63 boys and 24 girls entered in the 16-17 groups, 60 boys and 21 girls in the 14-15 divisions, 30 boys and 12 girls in the 12-13 brackets and 30 boys and 12 girls in the 8-11 divisions.
The three oldest groups will play 18 holes each Wednesday and
Thursday, with those surviving the 36-hole cut - roughly one-third of each field - advancing to Friday's final round. In the 8-11 divisions, players will compete over nine holes Wednesday and nine Thursday,
with an 18-hole final round slated Friday for those who make the cut.
The first tee times each day at each course are scheduled for 7:30 a.m. off both the front and back nines. The courses are scheduled to re-open to non-tournament play shortly after 2 p.m. each day.
The 16-17 boys and the 14-15 girls will play at Wine Valley on Wednesday while the 16-17 girls and 14-15 boys will shoot it out at the country club. Those four groups will switch courses for Thursday's play.
Memorial will serve as the host course for the two younger groups both Wednesday and Thursday, with the 8-11 groups playing off the back nine only.
In all, there will be 84 players on each course each of the first two days. They are scheduled to play in threesomes.
"They are all expected to play 18 holes in four hours," said tournament director Carol Morgan. "We will see if that happens."
Friday's final rounds of play for all age groups are scheduled at the country club, with an awards ceremony to follow. The boy and girl with the best 54-hole score from the 16-17 and 14-15 age groups combined will be crowned the 2011 state champions.
Neither defending champion is entered this year.
Dominick Francks of Olympia can't attend because he will be representing the state of Washington in the Junior America's Cup. Kimberley Santiago of Lynnwood has a family conflict.
District 4, which includes Walla Walla, is easily the largest district in the state geographically, encompassing all of Eastern Washington other than the Spokane area, which is District 5. The other four districts are all on the west side of the state.
Despite is geographic size, District 4 membership is the smallest of the six, therefore it will have the fewest number of entries in the tournament.
There are three Walla Walla golfers among the 32 qualifiers from District 4. They are Nick Atwood in the boys 14-15 division, Jessica Huntsman in the girls 14-15 group and Emily Baumgart in the girls 12-13 division.
Two other local players, Ryan Baumgart in the boys 16-17 division and Scott Kimball in the boys 12-13 division, were named as state alternates at the conclusion of district play.
Each of the three courses has set aside times for practice rounds, which actually began on Friday and will continue through Tuesday. Each player can schedule one practice round on each of the courses he or she will play during the tournament.
At the country club, there are no practice rounds available today, but players can schedule their practice rounds Monday from 9 to 11 a.m. and from 3 to 5 p.m., and from 1 to 3 p.m. on Tuesday. At Wine Valley, practice rounds can be reserved after 2 p.m. today and all day Monday and Tuesday. And at Vets, practice rounds can be scheduled whenever tee times are available.
The three days of tournament play are open to the public and free of charge. Anyone planning to attend should contact the respective clubs for dress code requirements.
There will be several satellite events held in conjunction with the golf tournament, including a long-drive contest Monday and a horse race Tuesday. The long-drive competition will be held Monday at the country club beginning at 4 p.m The horse race is slated Tuesday at Memorial for 8-to-11-year-olds only and begins at 3 p.m.
"We are expecting a lot of participation in both events," Morgan said.
"Walla Walla is so different because we are more isolated," she explained. "The kids are here. They are not going to be going home for the evening. I think we are going to see a lot of participation because of that."
The WJGA's annual tournament banquet will be held following Wednesday's opening-round of play and is scheduled to begin at 5:30 p.m. in the community center building on the Walla Walla Fairgrounds. More than 600 are expected to attend, including players, their families and WJGA officials.
The highlight of the banquet will be the presentation of the annual Joan Teats Awards that go to a player in each district selected by his or her peers as the one who best exemplifies what a golfer should be.
Teats is one of the founders of the WJGA and she will be in attendance.

The kitties are still very much a part of our lives. They manage to hide themselves during junior's waking hours and "magically" appear at nap or bed times. They demand lots of extra attention too–and get it!
I thought I'd share some random thoughts and musings:
- I sneeze if I chew peppermint gum. Just once right away.
- I sneeze if I eat dark chocolate. Again, just once right away.
- When nap time hits, I generally rush to put my feet up and enjoying an iced beverage: soda, iced tea, iced coffee, water. It has become a ritual.
- Since I got a retainer in February, I misplace it at least once a day, but so far haven't lost it for good.
Happy Weekend!
Every now and again I am able to schedule a sewing day complete with a bit of childcare. The creative break does me good. Here's a top I made on one day. The fabric was "run" so I got it for free. I was able to cut the sleeves with the "run" down them and the shirt didn't have any mars. A cute, pretty quick top (I just eyeballed/drafted a pattern) is what I'd call a successful day!
I got a few great wears out of the top, then the fabric grew and/or I shrank, so I passed it on to someone else to enjoy.
Eric is the least picky guy I know. His mom jokes, he'd be happy living in a cardboard box, and I totally agree. However, he's inherited a few shirts from here or there that just never get worn. I've been able to cut them up, sew them back together in the style of Alabama Chanin and they quickly end up in the favorite rotation.
One of the many very fun things about motherhood is instilling life lessons. Here's our little man learning an important one.
All kidding aside, sometimes it feels like there are so many more parenting fails than wins. One recent win is teaching our kiddo that if it doesn't work out the first time, we can always try again. It is so awesome to here him say that in his toddler voice and see his perseverance instead of object frustration.
I'm fascinated by how people motivate themselves to get things done. I love reading productivity books or blogs like, Getting Things Done, zenhabits.net, or Seth Godin. But I often find what works so well for others, really, really doesn't work at all for me. Sometimes, I'm just not in the right headspace, or sometimes I have other things to focus on, or sometimes things aren't all that motivating for me.
One thing that works for me is star stickers. Those cheap stickers sold in office supply stores. I have to keep them hidden or they end up pilfered by my kiddo. Those stickers are amazing motivators when I am trying to get workouts in. I don't even consider them when I am working out, but the satisfaction of putting them on my calendar after the fact is almost palpable.
It started when I was training for my first marathon with Team in Training in 2006. And since then I've stickered every training calendar. This summer, I started stickering my calendar. Sometimes I'm amazed at the silly things that just work. I'm happy to say the baby weight is finally off and quite a bit more on top of that! Sweet! I'll take it.
Also, Go Giants!!
I started sewing these in 2011! I was actually helping out a few friends who wanted to make snack bags for their kiddos. The inners were finished, but I needed to cut the outer fabric, sew up the outer fabric, and sew the pieces together. I had to re-cut the outer fabric twice because I got the measurements mixed up–boo! But I am finally finished and just in time for transporting toddler snacks!
Yay for sewing up the stash, finishing projects, and making something I can use right away and daily!
Here's where we got the instructions from.
I've had a bit of a lull in my lingerie bra sewing. I sewed a few bras in the past few years and they just didn't work for a variety of reasons involving fit and size and cheaping out on materials! If the plush-backed elastic or powernet is itchy, I'm not going to wear it. I've started just sewing them for others, because they are mostly fun (that underwire channeling gets me almost every time), and can be a combination of so many different patterns and colors.
I went through my images and am kicking myself for not taking images of some of the more beautiful designs I've put together. That and I need to work on styling a bit!
I still love the idea of making bras for mastectomy patients and here are few examples here. The heinous colored ones were just for fitting.
I've also tried my hand at drafting from scratch and that went okay, considering I only did it once. I think I could improve drastically on it the more I worked at it.
I also signed up for a lingerie class this fall, hence the dyed silks earlier (here and here), but the class was cancelled. So I've been forced to buck it up and go at it again on my own.
I placed an order for some new elastics and bra strap materials. I am planning to re-measure myself using this guide recommended from the subreddit r/ABraThatFits. That link has much more information about buying RTW bras than making them, but there is some discussion on making them. And use a pattern I have with alterations recommended by Orange Lingerie from her book here.
I'll keep you posted on the progress.
In other news, this article was shared by Fashion Incubator and it definitely gives some food for thought. Though, I see one they didn't discuss that I'm pretty surprised about.
Last Friday night some good friends came over to hang out and play board games. They brought one of the yummiest cakes I have ever enjoyed! She was recently diagnosed with celiac disease and has been having a crazy go of it. So this cake was gluten and dairy free and the only sugar was in the form of maple syrup. Yet it was still two layers with chocolate ganache in the middle and a chocolate frosting. Yummy!
Celebrating a birthday with cake and candles never gets old. I wouldn't have ever thought to do that, but I'm so grateful for my buddy who did!
Our favorite games are: Cards Against Humanity, Settlers of Catan, Dominion, and Mario Party on the Wii.
I'm thankful for good friends, yummy food, and our random Friday night board game sessions.
I'd bet the recipe is very similar to this, though without coconut sugar and subbing maple syrup for honey.
A week ago, I found myself walking across a local high school campus during school hours. Through an interesting set of circumstances, I was asked to represent the fashion industry on a small panel in a breakout session for high school seniors.
It was an interesting experience as I really wanted to be an encouraging word to them, but then I quickly realized how far removed I was from those students. It was really surreal, like I had to relate how I had achieved something they could relate to before they were interested in listening to my advice. I had a portfolio of my work at my feet the entire time, and didn't manage to pull it out. I was there to encourage them, but interestingly, I left with a sense of encouragement for myself.
Here's the main things I was saying to them, and yet also to myself at the same time.
- Everyone starts with less glamorous jobs, work hard in them, learn things, and you'll be surprised in the future how much that job enabled you to grow into more exciting work.
- Connect with people. Ask for help. Ask about their work. Learn what you can from others.
- Be creative outside of "work." Whatever that looks like for you–don't stop doing it!
- Everyone's dream job looks different. Don't try to fit into the mold that you think you should, but instead embrace the things that work for you. One person on the panel works two jobs-education and in the evenings and summers works in beauty. It is totally unconventional, but she loves it, and most importantly it works for her. Likewise, I love the flexibility that is in my current schedule allowing me to be home most of the time and still work a little bit too.

Away Team Member
I searched and couldnt find a post on this. During the first tutorial away mission after rescuing hostages and being given the destroy borg machine task the borg machine was destroyed myself and away team (BO) headed back toward the hostages when the server kicked and sent me all the way back to the login screen. After relog I was still in the same place but my away team member (BO) was gone. Since my away team mate was right next to me when the server kicked I am sure they had not beamed back to the ship, so Im not sure if thats a system flag that gets set and going linkdead causes a problem or if the game is designed to secure the away team members in the advent you linkdead. Either way once I came back into game, I was left sitting next to borg turrets and borg patrols. It made for one of those "run forest run" moments. :p

Henny Penny, My First Feathered Love
My love of poultry began in a rather unconventional way. I was a young boy in McMinnville, Tennessee on a trip to town with my grandmother when I spied a brown Leghorn hen running loose on Main Street. On this particular day I was fixated on getting back at my sister for her recent goat acquisition so this chicken seemed like an answered prayer. I asked around about the owner of the bird and was told that she was mine to have if I could catch her. With some fancy foot work and a lot of flying feathers I managed to corral her. Half way home I had named her Henny Penny and forgotten all about my sister's goat. There would be many feathered friends after Henny, but I credit her with sparking an enthusiasm for poultry that persists today.
My interest has grown to include the preservation of heritage birds, many of which are experiencing alarming declines in breeding flocks throughout the country. Heritage breeds are officially described as original breeds and strains of domestic fowl that were developed and/or recognized in the late 19th or 20th centuries, and they are defined by a specific set of criteria as determined by the American Poultry Association.
1. APA Standard Breed
2. Long Productive Outdoor Life Span
3. Naturally Mating
4. Slow Growth Rate
At the farm we focus on maintaining the genetics of a handful of heritage breeds.
While you might not have room for a flock of chickens in your backyard there are ways you can help with the preservation of heritage breeds. The first thing I suggest is learning more about the subject. Here are some websites to check out:
• Heritage Poultry Conservancy
• American Bantam Association
• American Livestock Breeds Conservancy
• American Poultry Association
• International Waterfowl Breeders Association
Fall is the season for poultry and livestock shows. Get your toes wet by visiting a few. They are great places to learn about breeds, buy birds and meet other poultry enthusiasts. Check with your local state fair, I'd be willing to bet they have one going on. This year America's National Crossroads of America Poultry Club show is October 28th – 30th in Indianapolis.

Nice story.
I completely understand your love the poultry. I had a pet duck that followed me around when I was a kid.
I've been wanting to some chickens & guinea keets – we are moving soon and will be able to do so – I'm very happy.
Thanks for sharing your story of Henny.
Happpy to know that
Happy to know of you Tennessee connections.
Allen, I loved your Henny Penny story. I was too young to remember the chickens on our farm when we were kids. I have always loved them, but haven't lived anywhere where I can raise them. I love to eat the farm fresh eggs though. They're the best. You are such an inspiration to me. Love your show and website.
Allen, we live in Southern Chester County in Pa. and we have so many wild turkeys you can't imagine. Every time my husband and I go out on a trail ride we see many flocks of turkeys. Thank goodness our horses aren't bothered by them otherwise we may end up in Berks County!!
I loved your story. We raised Araucana's and Bantam's growing up. All were pets to us as well.
We go to our local farmers market every Saturday for farm fresh eggs here in GA. I may ask my husband to build me a coop next spring! -
Allen, your story about the chickens was wonderful, but it was the photos that I really loved. As a small child I lived with my grandparents, and a favorite event was afternoon tea with my grandmother. I would stand on the front porch and ring the doorbell, pretending that I was coming for tea. My grandmother would open the door, and I would say, "Hello, Mrs McGillicudy", her 'tea name' and she would reply, "Hello, Mrs Bufforpington"," my 'tea name.' I never knew that the name was a breed of chickens! I've had a good laugh over that! Thanks Allen, for awakening some lovely, long-ago memories.
Fowl are beautiful. My neighbor up the mtn had chickens they died of old age. Mom had a Tom turkey come visit. They chased him away and he came back with his mate. He pecked his reflection all around my brothers truck. and the telephone repairman had his tool belt pecked.
My little town is considering banning chickens. FOOEY! Portland (OR) and some nearby suburbs allow poultry, usually just four hens. That would be great to have. I only have indoor finches now but I like the idea that I COULD have chickens. The mayor lives just up the street and the next time I see him, I'm giving him my enthusiastic Pro-poultry two-cents-worth! Banning them is such a backwards step when we really need to be encouraging sensible
husbandry, gardening and eating practices. -
Chickens are so beautiful. Never had the time to get personally acquainted with one, even though we had about 15 at one time. Moved here to the Midwest, so I paint chickens.
My grandmother in Kansas, had a chicken that came into the house everyday, jumped up on the bed, laid an egg, then went out. What a wonderful gift.
Visit my website for some chicken pictures.
