Course Descriptions
Spring Semester 2015
The Examined Life
Professor Rich Cameron
HONR 102A: First Year Seminar
Socrates famously claimed that the unexamined life is not worth living. But that claim is extremely puzzling -- we all know people who lead unexamined lives that, nevertheless, seem eminently worth living. Was Socrates just wrong, or was he getting at something deeper? And if so, what? We'll look at both Platonic texts about Socrates and examples of more contemporary cases of examining our lives as we work through this puzzle in this course.
Combat Ethics: Greece, Rome and Japan
Professor Pedar Foss
HONR 102B: First Year Seminar
This course examines the ethics of combat using historical examples ranging from Greece and Rome in the ancient Mediterranean, to the world of feudal Japan. The purpose is to investigate what codes of conduct have operated in these societies with regard to: the prior justification for, immediate operation of, and after-the-fact assessment of, hostile action by individuals, groups, or states. After a segment that is concerned with Eastern and Western philosophical approaches to the question of conflict and war, we shall investigate historically and culturally specific case studies of combat through literature, art, and cinema. From Homer's accounts of fighting in the Iliad, to the civil conflict of the Peloponnesian War and Euripides' contemplation of war's cost in the Trojan Women; to Roman law about declaring war, gladiatorial combat in the arena, or artistic presentations of imperial conquest; to Japanese samurai like Miyamoto Musashi involved in nationwide battles and individual duels ca. AD 1600, we ask: When have we fought, and for what reasons? Carrying what rules for behavior? With what effects upon non-combatants? How are such events and behaviors described in literature, history, and art? We also look at the physiological and psychological conditions and effects of combat: how do our brains and bodies operate under severe short-term stress and with what long-term repercussions? Besides papers that call for close readings of texts and ancient art, there is also a semester-long experiential or creative project: a choice of: creative writing about a combat situation (à la Tim O'Brien's The Things They Carried), or extra-class training in chanbara (foam sword) combat at a local dojo. Finally, in both our literary investigations and experiential study, we consider how combat against an 'other' cannot be considered outside of an internal struggle over mastery of one's self.
Mind, Intelligence, and Machines
Professor Douglas Harms
HONR 102C: First Year Seminar
In this seminar we will explore topics having to do with consciousness and intelligence in humans and machines, focusing in particular on the question of whether a computer could ever match the power and flexibility of the human brain. We will examine these issues from various perspectives including philosophy, biology, psychology, and computer science. Students will engage in discussion of course readings and complete a variety of written assignments, journals, and individual and group presentations. The goal of the seminar is for everyone in the seminar (students and teacher alike) to wrestle with the philosophical issues surrounding the topic of computers and consciousness, understand the technical dimensions of the topic, and come to appreciate humankind's role in the grand scheme of things.
Why?: The Quest for Meaning
Professor James Wells
HONR 102D: First Year Seminar
Judging whether life is or is not worth living amounts to answering the fundamental question," wrote Albert Camus, the Nobel Prize winning Algerian author. In this course Ancient Greek and Roman writers such as Plato, Aristotle, Cicero, and Lucretius launch the exploration of that fundamental question. That exploration, the quest for meaning, hinges upon the inescapable questions that these artists and philosophers pose again and again: What is a good life? What is happiness? What is the relationship between life's worth and the meaning of life? Our work in this seminar course will include attention to the monumental texts we read, discussion of those texts and of our responses to their provocations, and reflection.
Gender and Morality
Professor Christopher Wells
HONR 300Aa: Humanities Seminar
From the Victorian ideology of the "Angel in the House" to Carol Gilligan's study of the differences between men's and women's moral voices In a Different Voice, the modern Western world has a lengthy history of assigning different moral modes to men and women. This interdisciplinary course will evaluate the basis for arguments that morality comes in gendered flavors. Students will also explore the cultural history of gendered notions about morality through readings in moral philosophy, literature, and moral psychology. The key question for the course will be not just whether it makes sense to think about morality in gendered terms, but also what it means for our current ideas about morality that this division appears to continue to be deeply rooted in Western culture. That is, we will investigate the ways in which a gendered understanding of moral issues continues to shape, and perhaps limit, our moral thinking. Other issues for discussion will include the relationship between greatness and goodness, and the advantages and disadvantages of communitarian ethics.
From Anime to Hip-Hop: African Americans and the Japanese
Professor Vanessa Dickerson
HONR 300Ab: Humanities Seminar
African Americans and the Japanese seem to be worlds apart. Schematically speaking, the former are a mixed race with a legacy of slavery, a people haunted by damaging stereotypes of loudness and laziness; the latter is a relatively homogenous race with an imperial history, a people awash in stereotypes of quietness and industriousness. Yet these two peoples are neither completely divorced nor completely oblivious of one another. This course will tease out the connections between African Americans and the Japanese by exploring the crosscurrents that flow between these two disparate peoples in their history, literature, music, and pop culture.
Ethics, Cures, and Cancer Care
Professor Pascal Lafontant
HONR 300B: Science Seminar
In Ethics, Cures, and Cancer Care, we will develop an understanding of the history of Cancer and how it has evolved from thousands of years ago when it was first recognized to our current time. We will explore the ethical dimensions of cancer research, clinical studies, therapies, and end of life care from the perspectives of patients, physicians, researchers and writers. We will read from The Emperor of all Maladies, by Siddhartha Mukherjee among other texts.
A Catastrophe and its Aftermath: Holocaust, History, and Memory
Professor Julia Bruggemann
HONR 300Ca: Social Science Seminar
This course will explore the complex historical, moral, and political history of the Holocaust as well as the legacies of the war, dictatorship, and Holocaust for Germany after 1945. We will address questions of guilt and responsibility, victimhood and agency and the ways these terms have been understood over time. Some important questions we will explore are: How can we understand the physical, moral, political, and ethical destruction of the war and Holocaust and how did it influence Germany's reconstruction in the postwar context? How did contemporaries, historians, politicians, artists etc. participate in these processes? How have these discussions changed in recent years as most eyewitnesses are dying and new generations develop their own interpretations? Some of the debates that surround these questions are: Who has the right to remember and be remembered? Who can claim to be a victim, in other words: were Germans victims - or perpetrators – or both? Can a new German state be "normal" and overcome its historical baggage? What's the difference between guilt and responsibility and how does it affect future generations? How have discussions changed over the past decades?
Democracy & Imperialism
Professor Michael Seaman
HONR 300Cb: Social Science Seminar
Can history be useful? What is the purpose of justice? This course explores enduring and recurring issues like these that are linked to democracy and imperialism over time. We will begin at the beginning, looking at Athenian democracy, Athenian imperialism, and international affairs, particularly between the two great powers of Athens and Sparta. The course is interdisciplinary, looking at history, political science (including foreign policy and international affairs), philosophy, literature, and, to some extent, art history. We will read selections from some of the great classics of Western Civilization, and explore how the questions debated by the Greeks still echo in contemporary society: Can history be useful? What did the Athenians consider the advantages and disadvantages of democracy and how does this compare to American democracy? How did the growth of their empire affect the Athenians, and are there lessons in this for us today? How did the Greeks behave in a world with two "super-powers?" What is the purpose of justice? How effective is the death penalty? Are there "rules" in warfare? Why was Socrates convicted? Why did the American Founding Fathers distrust Athenian democracy so much?

Smashing Myths About Small- and Micro-Cap Stocks
By Peter T. Sidoti, founder, chairman, CEO of Sidoti & CO.
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Big returns often come in small packages. Since the current bull market started in March 2009, the Russell 2000 index is up approximately 200% compared to a 150% gain in the S&P 500.
In addition, statistics from Vanguard show that between 1927 and 2012, small-cap stocks produced average annual returns of 12.9% vs. a 9.9% gain for their larger counterparts.
With consistent outperformance, why aren't more investors paying attention? Small and micro-cap stocks have often gotten an unfair reputation as being too risky or too volatile for many investors. The truth is, however, we believe those who write off these asset classes are missing out on solid earnings potential from some of the healthiest companies in America.
It's important to correct some of the common misconceptions surrounding this group of stocks. One myth is that there is a diminishing amount of interest and information on small caps. About 14 years ago, perhaps there were two firms covering smalls and micros. Today that number is more like six, including Sidoti, founded in 1999. Numerous smaller research firms have opened their doors since 2001 and access to information is greater now than ever. Here are more myths: Myth: Operating risk is greater for companies with sub-$2 billion market capitalizations. KISS. Keep it simple, stupid. Look at the operating risks facing the big guys such as General Electric (GE), Citibank (C) and ExxonMobil (XOM), which have a diverse mix of businesses in just about every country in the world. Every day, they must navigate tricky government regulations, thorny cultural differences and volatile currency swings. These create potential risks that don't exist in smaller companies with much fewer business lines. Myth: Companies with market capitalizations below $2 billion incur greater financial risk. Our experience says otherwise. Sidoti researches nearly 700 small- and micro-cap names. Since the economic downturn of 2008, no company Sidoti follows has filed for bankruptcy or required a government bailout. Yet, Thornberg Mortgage, Chrysler, MF Global, Conseco, CIT, General Motors and Washington Mutual all had more than $30 billion of assets when they filed for court protection. We have no ready explanation for this, but we believe the harsh conditions under which banks and other providers of financial services have operated over the past 10 years make the companies in our universe much stronger. Financial service providers are more selective on companies with which they work and to whom the provide financing. Also, many smaller companies are less confident in their ability to access available financings -- like credit lines -- during times of difficulties, given their experiences in 2008-09. Many of the companies Sidoti covers have relied on free cash flow/internal cash flow to finance their operations.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

This MF Raner was my gr grandfather Millard Filmore Raner. Jessie was his 2nd wife. I find no more information on her past this marriage unless the cemetery inscription below is her's. I don't know if the marriage ended in divorce or what, as at the time of Philmore's death, his son listed Philmore as widowed. This has always puzzled me as his first wife (whom he divorced) was living at that time (1922) and no mention was ever made of Jessie in any family information. There were no children of this union (Phil + Jessie). Millard Filmore (Philmore) had only one child, Curtis, and that was with his first wife, Susie Cooper Miller. I did find a Jessie L Witcher buried in the West cem at Panora in Guthrie County with this inscription: WHITCHER, GL d.

Good alignment shop in north central/ northern indiana.
I put a budget boost along with a Kevin's off-road track bar conversion on my trusty old Jeep ZJ and talked to the local tire shop. I've always had good luck with them on stock stuff but I'm not sure now. I was asking them about putting as much positive caster allowed by the factory control arms. I said I just don't want it set right in the factory specs since the small lift affects the caster. The guy then started telling me that you can't adjust the caster on a live axle and I need to change the ball joints. I said not camber, caster he said oh that's Judy for the driveshaft angle. So as you can see now I'm pretty sure I don't want to deal with that. I can go to 4 wheel parts in Indy but they are probably real expensive. So does anyone know of a place down here that actually knows what caster is, what it does and how to actually align a vehicle not just stare at a screen and do what it says.

Compulsion Of Mechanical Demolition For Residential Structures
Tearing down a structure, especially when it is located in a populated area, actually requires much more than just filling up few permit forms. There are several processes which need to be insured both physically and environmentally, proper safety precautions need to be taken in order to get things done in right a careful manner. #Demolition of #commercial #structures is less easy, in comparison to the residential ones. This is also because there are several other structures which need to be secured from the #demolition. Therefore, residential #demolition requires a lot of obtaining as well as securing several things. Keep reading to know more about such type of #demolition.
When we talk about mechanical demolition, it actually involves pulling down as well as knocking down the complete structure. This is why it requires some specific machinery, which mainly includes rams, cranes, bulldozers, and excavators. Also, if the structure is quite large in size then it will also involve wrecking balls. It is basically a kind of heavy ball which is attached to a very strong cable and thus swung by a large crane. The basic idea is to actually batter the structure into the pieces.
Although, every demolition requires specific permits and precautions, but residential one requires a little more.
#Demolition Permit
In case you apply for a #residence #demolition which is a single family structure, then the #demolition will actually include residence permission of the family. Although, payment is not the case in this type, however, permit will be required in case there wasn't any so far.
Site plan
The mechanics that have been hired by you for the job will surely require this very important document for better understanding and planning of #demolition. A site plan which actually shows all the exact details of the structure, makes it easier for the mechanics to plan their #demolition effectively. Moreover, a site plan for other small structures which are there within the structure site will also be required.
Erosion Control Measures
One extremely important factor considered before any type of #demolition process is soil erosion. With so much heavy machinery involved digging and risk of pipers getting busted, it is extremely crucial for the #demolition experts consider proper precautionary measures in order to ensure the safety of everyone involved. This is the reason why every professional understands the ground compositions of the structure before preparing any #demolition plan. This is also important as different residential areas have a different composition, so it is important to keep a sharp on erosion incidents.

More caving on mandated coverage of contraception from HHS and the Obama Administration. Religious groups that self-insure will be exempt from the rules, and HHS indicated that they are open to further weakening of the required coverages in the future.
Oh, and in a separate ruling, HHS declared that students at religious institutions (like Sandra Fluke) are SOL when it comes to being covered by this requirement of ACA.

The Canadian Business Traveller's Survival Guide
Tip 1: Stay packed - If you travel a lot, make sure to always leave your suitcase partially packed when at home to save time and hassle.
Tip 2: Look for perks - When you check in, always ask if there is an upgrade available, if there are extra points for anything or if there are any specials. It's free to ask and worth the effort.
Tip 3: Travel light - Pick clothing that can do double-duty to save space. If you can get away with just a carry on, you can skip the luggage carousel and get in and out of the airport in no time.
Tip 4: Be metal and lace -free - Put metal accessories, like a watch, phone or jewellery, in your bag to save time going through airport security and wear shoes without laces so they're easy to slip on and off. And, don't forget to put your travel sized liquids in a quart-size bag.
Tip 5: Sleep for free - Sign up for Welcome Rewards™, the Hotels.com loyalty program, and you'll earn one free night for every 10 stayed. What's even more appealing is that you're not tied to one chain, so you can book hotels based on convenience and not by name.

I think its pretty obvious that roids or no roids, Jason Taylor is a far superior player (and person) than Merriman. Man, he just kills the Pats... did Merriman even play yesterday?
I was shocked, but Matt Light pretty much owned roid boy. They even shifted him over to Kazcur's side and he didn't do much there either.
That was sweet vindication for Jason Taylor. Hopes he joins the Pats next season. Who knows? Go Pats:rocker:

Last night I brewed up a slightly modified Founder's Breakfast Stout clone. Here's my process for detail's sake: 1) Steep specialty grains @ 155F for 35 min in 2 gal H2O, rinse with .5 gal hot H2O. 2) Boil DME and 1 oz nugget whole hops 60 min 3) 0.5 oz Willamette whoile hops @ 30min 4) Add LME, 1 tsp yeast energizer, 2 tsp irish moss @ 45min 5) 1 oz orange peel @ 10 min 6) .5oz Willamette, chocolate, coffee @ flameout My main concern is with the coffee. The recipe asked for 2oz ground coffee at flameout and 2 oz in the secondary. I've not found the need or desire to rack to a secondary, so made the decision to add all 4 oz of coffee at flameout. My OG is in the ballpark, it's fermenting nicely, but it REALLY smells of coffee right now. The sample I pulled for hydrometer reading tasted very strongly of coffee as well. It's overpowering. So my questions...will this mellow with time? If not, is there anything I can do during the cold crash or kegging that will mellow or counteract the strong coffee smell/taste?
Yes, IMHO pretty much all beer mellows over time, it's just a matter of how much time and mellow you'd like it to turn out. How long do you plan on fermenting, carbing and conditioning?
'Give a man a beer and he'll waste an hour, teach him to brew beer and he'll waste a lifetime'.The Screwy Brewerwww.thescrewybrewer.comScrewy's On Facebook
AS fermentation continues, more and more of the coffee aroma will be lost, which is why it's recommended you use half of it in "secondary" which simply means "after fermentation". You'll probably have more coffee astringency with less aroma in the final product. In the future, know that "secondary" doesn't mean "rack it all into a glass carboy". It simply means "after primary", in most beer terms. Wine and cider makers take it literally.
Thanks guys. Live and learn eh? Screwy: I was planning on leaving it in the primary 2-3 weeks total, then cold crashing 2-3 days before kegging and carbing. I can leave it in the keg indefinitely, although would like to drink it asap of course. Fletch: thanks for the clarification on "secondary". Guess I was taking it too literally. Is there anything I can do to counteract an overpowering astringency that's detected during kegging?
even if it's got too much coffee in it after mellowing, it can still turn out to be a great beer. one of my local brewpubs has an imperial coffee stout, and it's one of my favorite beers. normally i drink IIPAs but the intense coffee flavor and sweetness is awesome. it drinks like an espresso for a cold day, and if your beer turns out to be similar, then don't go into drinking it thinking that you're going to be having a "beer." go into every glass expecting to have a glass of alcoholic espresso or whatever you like, and the flavor will really grow on you. as far as the astringency goes, it's the same reason that old coffee is never as good as freshly brewed coffee. while the flavor will mellow out with time, I'm not sure if the astringency will.
I have brewed 4 oz of espresso and added it to a stout and it was just fine at drinking time. I believe you will enjoy your results.
So it's day 5 of fermentation and things are starting to slow down in the carboy. The STRONG coffee smell bubbling out has mellowed significantly. This morning I'm convinced I can smell the chocolate now. Really looking forward to seeing how it turns out. Always an adventure!

Dow Chemical Says Loeb's Breakup Plan Would Hurt Value
Feb. 12 (Bloomberg) -- Dow Chemical Co., facing pressure from Dan Loeb's Third Point LLC to split itself in two, said an internal strategic review concluded that such a move would reduce the value of the largest U.S. chemical company.
The review by the board, management team and external advisers found that creating separate petrochemical and specialty-chemical businesses would negatively affect Dow's "value proposition," the Midland, Michigan-based company said yesterday in a regulatory filing. A breakup also wouldn't improve productivity or capital allocation, Dow said.
Third Point, an activist investor founded by Loeb, said in a Jan. 21 letter that Dow is its top holding and could add billions of dollars to earnings by spinning off commodity chemicals and plastics. Dow Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Andrew Liveris defended his strategy of integrating commodity chemicals with specialty products during a Jan. 29 conference call.
"Dow believes that specific actions it has taken to transform Dow from a commodity-based model into a vertically integrated science company focused on specialty materials, agriculture and specialty plastics is the right strategy to maximize value for all of our shareholders in the short and long term," the company said in the filing yesterday.
'Undistinguished' Record
Third Point is ready to sign a non-disclosure agreement so it can review Dow's analysis, noting that the company didn't disclose its methodology or identify its advisers, the hedge fund said in a statement today.
"Dow has asked shareholders to accept its word," Third Point said in the statement. "Transparency is essential considering Dow's undistinguished track record of capital allocation decisions."
The hedge fund wants a "constructive dialogue" among Liveris, Dow's board and Third Point's financial advisers to boost value for all shareholders. Third Point didn't disclose its own advisers.
Louise Adhikari, a Dow spokeswoman, declined to identify the company's advisers or disclose the methodology of its analysis.
Dow Chemical fell 1 percent to $46.37 at the close. The shares have climbed 42 percent in the past 12 months.

Tomorrow's Surf Forecast
Marine Outlook
A high over Bass Strait extends a ridge along the New South Wales coast in the
wake of a cold front and associated southerly change, which are currently near
the Queensland border. This ridge will remain the dominant feature for coastal
areas during the next day or two as the high drifts slowly east, although a
feeble trough may briefly affect the southern coast later on Tuesday. On
Wednesday the high is expected to weaken as it nears New Zealand, allowing the next cold front to sweep across New South Wales during Thursday, bringing a vigorous southerly change to coastal areas.
Strong Wind Warning for Monday for Macquarie Coast
Winds: Southerly 15 to 25 knots, locally reaching 30 knots at first, becoming
south to southeasterly 15 to 20 knots in the afternoon.
Seas: 1.5 to 2.5
metres, decreasing to 1 to 1.5 metres around midday.
Swell: Easterly around 1
metre. Weather: Cloudy. 70% chance of showers, chiefly morning.

Chinese Cinderella: the True Story of an Unwanted Daughter.
CHINESE CINDERELLA: THE TRUE STORY OF AN UNWANTED DAUGHTER. Adeline Yen Mah. 1999/2004. Read by Felice Yeh. 5 tapes. 7 hrs. Recorded Books. 1-4025-9006-7. $45.75. Vinyl; content notes. JSAFrom the KLIATT review of the book, July 2001: "This is truly a Cinderella story, from the evil stepmother to the spoiled siblings and the terrible injustices done to an unwanted daughter. When Adeline was born her mother died. This created a kind of curse on the baby girl; she was shunned by all her family except for her dear Aunt Baba and her grandfather, YeYe. Her father was indifferent to her and when he remarried, his wife Niang had little use for Adeline and her older brothers. The birth of Niang's children escalated the cruel treatment of Adeline ... Adeline's exceptional mind brought her many awards.... Only when she won a prestigious prize for writing a play did her father deem her worthy to go on to college. This is a well-named autobiography, and it does have a happy ending. It is full of fascinating Chinese culture and language."
Reader Yeh was a great choice to do this. Her voice conveys both the strength and the sadness found in Yen Mah's famous autobiography. Her voice has a youthful quality that easily translates the struggles the young Adeline encounters in her difficult childhood. In portraying other members and friends, Yeh slightly changes the inflections of her voice, which is just enough to identify them with ease. Readers of the book will be pleased by Yeh's excellent interpretation. Sally Tibbetts, LRC, Maine West H.S., Des Plaines, IL

Anyway, when my sister brought these cabinets over, I immediately thought console table. Extra storage is a hot commodity around here so I'll take it anywhere I can get it. I thought putting a few of the cabinets together would be a perfect way to store toys and extra dishes. I've also wanted something in this pseudo "hallway" but have had a hard time finding anything narrow enough, and these were a good fit.
A reminder of the before:
I followed essentially the same process as the original cabinet redo, but instead of pallet wood, I used 1×6's. Maybe I'm dumb, but wanna know something I didn't? 1×6's are actually 1×5&1/2's. So when I measured the width of my cabinet and came home from the store with two "1×6's", I was a little more than slightly annoyed when I came up short. I walked inside and said to Mr. F, "are 1×6's not actually 6 inches?" To which he replied, "nope they're 5&1/2 inches" like this is common knowledge–that's what I get for keeping my projects secret. Luckily, I had an old 1×2 laying around that fit in perfectly and left a slight overhang. I was going for the planked look anyway, so yay for happy accidents.
As with the other cabinet, I used liquid nails, weighted the top and then nailed it down.
Since I was using new wood, I banged it up a little with a hammer and then stained it with Minwax Early American (thank you Handmade Home for the introduction to my new favorite stain color).
And remember in my living room inspiration post I said that I had fallen in love with a new color thanks to this cabinet? Hardware by Sherwin Williams is an AWESOME pewter grey with tones of tan and the slightest touch of Olive. It's got a richness and depth that I LOVE.
The hardware is from Hobby Lobby and was only $2.50 each on sale–pretty awesome for hardware that size and it's HEAVY!
I have three more cabinets in my basement, so I'm sure more of these will be making their appearance.
My original instructions for building one of these yourself can be found here

It is claimed that there are at least 4500 fashion houses of varying sizes. This industry has created employment for 5 million people where women's participation is a staggering 70 per cent. The opportunities of this fashion industry in our country is enormous.
On the other hand, the fashion industry of our country faces a lot of difficulties and threats, be it the lack of proper government support or the invasion of Indian and Pakistani made attires.
Amidst this scene, Fashion Entrepreneurs Association of Bangladesh (FEAB) -- Fashion Uddeg in Bengali -- has emerged. On 22 March, 2014 at Dhaka's Ruposhi Bangla Hotel, the organisation saw its formal inauguration, with the presence of the event's chief guest, Abul Maal Abdul Muhith, the finance minister of People's Republic of Bangladesh.
This new organisation is an amalgamation of the heads of the several acclaimed fashion brands of the country. For example, Azharul Haque Azhad, the president of FEAB, is the head of Shada Kalo.
Given the condition of neighbouring countries like India, Pakistan and Nepal, our country still lacks a proper structure and a body of policies. This organisation will be a platform to discuss such issues and bring about the necessary changes so that the fashion industry of Bangladesh can collectively conserve the country's rich fashion heritage, compete adequately and effectively against the foreign fashion products and improve the made-in-Bangladesh brand across the globe.
And true to its purpose, the event comprised of speeches from various fashion entrepreneurs -- as well as a few other renowned celebrities and representatives from different trade bodies, including BGMEA and FBCCI -- who put forward their interests, requests and gratitude to the finance minister.
The claims dealt with bringing the fashion industry under a specific ministry and provide it an economic boost, a more relaxed VAT and interest rates, etc.
In short, the organisation asked for a more business friendly atmosphere to make this sector even more flourishing.
Finance minister Abul Maal Abdul Muhith praised the work of the fashion industry, opining that even though the resources of this country are relatively low, the true assets are the entrepreneurs. He also informed that within the next five years export earning should rise over $75 billion.
"Worshipping beauty, and affinity towards beauty, is a basic characteristic of man," he remarked.

Any night, 9 PM.....
The Stud™: So how 'bout it, gorgeous? Wanna wrinkle these sheets?
Me™: If I wrinkle the sheets, will I lose a few of my own? You know I can't resist you when you pay me blatantly false compliments. Just make sure the door is locked. You know what happened last time.
The Stud™: Door's locked. Maybe we should dispense with the formalities.
Me™: I love it when you get right down to business! Maybe I'll get eight hours of sleep tonight!

Becca: (through door) Mom, did you tell Stephen to put the laundry in the dryer?
Me™: Yes!
Becca: Well, he put my bras in. I almost didn't catch him. You need to tell him not to put my bras in the dryer.
Me™: Stephen, Becca's bras don't go in the dryer!
Becca: That's not what I meant. He can't hear you, his video game is on too loud. Can you go and tell him when you get a chance?
The Stud™: I'll tell him tomorrow, Bec!
Becca: Okay. (retreating footsteps)

Me™: Okay.
Mike: I need the keys.
The Stud™: Dammit. (exits bed, walks into bathroom)
Me™: (open door wearing hastily-donned lounger) Here. Where are you going?
Mike: The Clubhouse. Jeremy's band is playing there.
Me™: Who's going?
Mike: Me and Suppa Time and White Man.
Me™: Have you been drinking?
Mike: They had some beer, but I didn't.
Becca: Mike, you were drinking.
Mike: Shut up, Becca. That was a Mountain Dew.
Me™: If you're going to drive my car you can't have ANYTHING to drink.
Mike: Duh!! I know that.
Phoebe: (vicious snarling from family room)
Mike: Stupid Phoebe! I told Suppa Time to help himself to some leftover pizza, and now the dog is trying to tear his leg off. Can she stay in here with you guys until we leave?
Me™: Sure. Phoebe!!! Come here, puppy!
Phoebe: (barking and lunging for harmless teen in kitchen)
Me™: Phoebe! Get over here!
Stephen: (helpfully) Get over here, Phoebe!
Me™: Stephen, hush, she's too stupid to listen to two different people at once, you're just getting her confused.
Becca: Where's The Stud™?
Me™: He's in the bathroom.
Stephen: He's ALWAYS in the bathroom!
Me™: PHOEBE!!! Right NOW, you miserable cur!
Phoebe: (trots into room, jumps on bed, settles on The Stud™'s pillow)
Becca: Oops!! Dukey came in, too, hope that's okay.
Me™: (resignedly) yeah, no problem. Look, I'm really tired and you know I hate work nights. Good night, love you guys. (kisses all round, thankfully closes door)
The Stud™: (exiting bathroom) Is it safe to come out?
Me™: Can you make sure I locked the door? You know what happened last time.
The Stud™: Everything's locked up. Now, where were we?
Me™: Phoebe, off The Stud™'s pillow.
Phoebe: (snarls as she is dumped unceremoniously on floor)

The Stud™: (exclaims in pain, utters oath)
Me™: What happened?
The Stud™: Is there a cat in here?
Me™: Oh, I forgot to tell you. I think Dukey sneaked in when we let Phoebe in.
The Stud™: Well, he's attacking my toes.
Me™: Dukey! Cut it out!
The Stud™: Somehow I doubt he's going to listen.
Dukey: (meows piteously as he is dumped unceremoniously in hallway)
Me™: You really took a chance. You should have put some clothes on.
The Stud™: The coast was clear. I checked first. Where were we?

Oreo: (continues meowing piteously while jumping at doorknob)
Me™: Stupid cat, she's going to be covered in bruises.
The Stud™: Don't listen to her.
(polite knock at door)
Me™: What?
Stephen: Can Oreo come in? She really wants to come in.
Me™: Yeah, all right.
Stephen: (tries door) The door's locked.
The Stud™: Well, thank Christ for that. (gets up and goes into bathroom)
Me™: (open door wearing hastily-donned lounger) Okay, come on, you stupid cat. As soon as she gets in, she'll want to go back out.
Stephen: Can't you just leave the door open?
Me™: No. It's 10:30, you guys need to be in bed.
Becca: Can I get a bottle of water from your room? The fridge is all out.
Me™: Sure.
Stephen: Can I get one, too?
Me™: Go right ahead. Anyone else over who's thirsty?
Becca: Let me go ask Sarah.
Me™: I hate it when my sarcasm is wasted.
Stephen: Where's The Stud™?
Me™: He's in the bathroom.
Stephen: He's ALWAYS in the bathroom!
The Stud™: (peeking around corner of bathroom door) Is the coast clear?
Me™: Not quite.
Becca: Can I come in and say goodnight to The Stud™?
Me™: Er, isn't Sarah over? Why don't you wait until she's gone.
Becca: She's leaving in a few minutes. She came over to borrow my purple jeans.
Me™: Well, come back when she's gone home. Leave the carport light on for Mike. Did he and his friends leave yet?
Stephen: Yeah, they left a long time ago.
Becca: I think Phoebe just ran out of the room.
Me™: Good riddance. Except she'll start barking whenever Mike gets home.
Stephen: Mom, it's okay if Dukey's in here, isn't it?
Me™: Oh, no!
Stephen: Well, I don't know for sure if that was Dukey or if it was Oreo.
Becca: I think it was both of them. Should I get them out?
The Stud™: (starts to open bathroom door)
Me™: (hastily) No, that's okay. Gotta go to bed, okay? You guys should too, 5:30 always comes too early. (more good nights all round) (close door, leans against it in relief)
The Stud™: Is the coast clear?
Me™: Yes, but we have some livestock in the room.
The Stud™: Who?
Me™: One or two cats. The dog ran out.
The Stud™: Where were we?
Me™: Can you make sure I locked the door? You know what happened last time.
The Stud™: Everything's all locked up. Now, where were we?
ohbabyohbabyohbabyohbabyohbabyohbabyohbabyohbabyohbabyohbaby ohbabyohbabyohbabyohbabyohbabyohbabyohbabyoh—
(Catfight breaks out, both cats gallop across The Stud™'s torso, Dukey tackles a screaming Oreo)
(Pit bulls next door commence baying)
Me™: PFFFTTT!!! Shoo!! Out!! (cats take refuge in closet.)
Becca: (at door) Oh, poor Oreo! Baby! Mom, did Dukey hurt her? BAD Dukey!
Me™: Becca, we've got to lock Oreo in her cage. Just a minute. (hastily don lounger) (hand Becca cat through door.) Here.
Becca: Mom, that's the wrong cat.
Me™: Well, keep him anyway. Let me find Oreo. She's in The Stud™'s closet.
Becca: Do you want me to get her?
Me™: Put Dukey in your room first. (Close door)
The Stud™: (exits bed and goes into bathroom)
Becca: Mom, can I come in now?
Me™: Yeah, come get her OUT of here. It's 11:30. I have to get up in six hours!
Stephen: Where's The Stud™?
Becca: I've got her! Come on you precious little baby kissy kissy coo coo coo.
Phoebe: (Races to back door in paroxysms of outraged barks)
Cats: (Run back into room and hide in The Stud™'s closet)
Phoebe: (Apoplectic barking)
(Noises from back yard)
Me™: (going to our open window) Mike, is that you? Are you sober?
Unknown voice: No ma'am, it's the police. We're checking the back yards on this block.
Me™: Oh, wow, okay, Officer.
Phoebe: (subsides into asthmatic wheezing)
Me™: Kids, go to bed. I'm not kissing anybody goodnight again.
Stephen: Mom, why are there police in the back yard?
Me™: I don't know, Stephen, but you can ask them if you want to.
Stephen: Do you want me to?
Me™: No, Stephen. I want you to go to bed. (Shut bedroom door, lean against it gratefully.)
The Stud™: (Opens bathroom door) Is the coast clear?
Me™: Sure. Come on out. We're having a party in here. The cats are back in the closet. The police are in the back yard. They haven't asked to search the house. Yet.
The Stud™: Really? (Goes to window) Looks like they're just leaving.
Me™: That's why the dog stopped barking.
The Stud™: Where were we? I know, I'll make sure you locked the door.
Me™: You know what happened last time.
The Stud™: So now, where were we?
