Why Choose Natural vs. Conventional Makeup?
What we eat effects our health. But many of us are not aware that what we put onto our skin also affects our long term well-being. Studies have should than our skin absorbs up to 60% of what is applied to its surface. Highly sensitive mucous membranes absorb eye makeup. While there is some controversy over the number of pounds of lipstick the average woman consumers in her lifetime, the fact is that lipstick, lip gloss and lip balms are consumed.
According to the Environmental Working Group, most of the over ten thousand ingredients used in personal care products on the market today have not been evaluated for safety. Even more disturbing, U.S. researchers have found that one in eight ingredients used in personal care products are industrial chemicals (including carcinogens, pesticides and reproductive pollutants). Given that these ingredients are not just staying on our skin but entering into our blood stream, these startling facts and findings make one thing clear: being mindful of the ingredients in our makeup is a must.

MAC Body Conscious is more orange. MAC Glimpse of Flesh is shimmery and lighter. MAC Indie Spirit is a bit darker.

OK, talked to my local FFL (that is also an AR15 Manufacterer. Makes his own upper/lowers/barrels, so he may be dissing the competition.) and he told me to stay away from PSA products. Especially the BCG's and lowers. Claimed that they are sub standard parts made in China by Aero-something. So now I'm confused again. Recommended his own brand of course, as well as Delton, Spikes, CMMG, Colt, S&W, etc... Said to stay away from PSA, and Rguns, and a few others that I can't remember, as they were all from the same Aero-something manufacturer, but just had the various private labels machined into them.
J427x, what do you mean about Delton ripping you off on the shipping?
Basically I am trying to either buy or build a basic, but good quality, dependable M4 style AR15, with a detachable carry handle, for as close to the $700.00 mark as possible. I know that may be unreasonably low, without going through PSA, but that's my goal. And I don't want to wait for a year while one component, then another, and so on, comes up for sale somewhere. I would like to be able to buy/build this over the next few weeks.
This FFL, James Firearm & Outdoors, in Greer, S.C., recommended his basic lower, along with a Del-Ton M4 parts kit. He said that would give me a good, reliable, quality M4, with good accuracy and long life. Said the only issue with this set-up is that Del-Ton doesn't have the prettiest machining.
My main issue is that he has a vested interest in selling me his lower for $125.00, versus the $50.00 lower from PSA.

Camper openings are available for the Oct. 5-6, 2013 Shannon's Hope, a therapeutic weekend camp for children ages 6-15 who have experienced the death of a loved one in the past three to 24 months. This unique camp is an initiative of Hospice of Charleston Foundation in collaboration with Hospice Care of America, the Medical University of South Carolina and Roper Hospice.
Through participation in fun, yet intense, activities, Shannon's Hope campers are encouraged to speak openly about issues of death and grief. The experience is structured to teach the children that feelings such as sadness, fear, anger and desperation are all normal aspects of the grieving process. Together they create friendships and support that allow them to identify and express their emotions in a safe, secure environment. It is a weekend of laughter, tears, sharing and remembering.
The camp is facilitated by professional counselors, and trained volunteer buddies provide compassionate individual support to the children. Together these adults help the children "create stepping stones from their stumbling blocks."
Shannon's Hope is held twice a year at Camp St. Christopher on Seabrook Island. A fee of $35 is requested; however, scholarships are available based on financial need. Referrals of campers are welcomed from parents, counselors, teachers, ministers or other concerned persons. Transportation to and from camp is available.
Shannon Heisler was the inspiration for Shannon's Hope, which began in August, 1989. The courage and hope demonstrated by this 16-year-old Hospice of Charleston patient, who died in November of 1988, were the driving forces behind the development of the camp.
To refer a camper or for questions, contact Kathy Berry at Hospice of Charleston Foundation (email@example.com or 843-216-7323).
Corporate sponsorships are available for Shannon's Hope and all Hospice of Charleston Foundation events. Financial contributions are welcomed to support this program as well as Hospice of Charleston Foundation's other charitable efforts to assist the individuals and families who turn to hospice for help in their most vulnerable moments.
For more information, please visit the website at www.hospiceofcharlestonfoundation.org or call 843-216-7323.

An excellent starting point for locating local newspapers held by FCPL and other collecting agencies, is the on-line Guide to Maryland Newspapers Featuring the Newspapers Collections of the Maryland State Archives. An earlier print version, Guide to Newspapers and Newspaper Holdings in Maryland (M 071.52GUI) is available in the Maryland Room and all FCPL branch libraries. Maryland Room holdings are included in both of these sources. Out of state microfilm may be obtainable through interlibrary loan.
Original, non-microfilmed papers in the Maryland Room are largely scattered and don't cover significant consecutive runs. These papers cannot always be viewed. They are generally not available on Sundays and some evenings. Please contact the Maryland Room manager about accessing original newspapers. In most situations, originals will not be serviced if there is a microfilm surrogate.
Microfilm of local newspapers, both historic and modern, is available in the Maryland Room. The largest microfilm collection is the Frederick News-Post. The News extends back to 1883, the Frederick Post to 1910. Effective March 30, 2002 the News (the evening paper) and the Frederick Post (the morning paper) were given the names News-Post. On April 20, 2002 the two were combined into one paper, published once a day. Hard copies of the News-Post are kept at the C. Burr Artz Public Library until the arrival of the microfilm (approximately 3 months). These papers are available from the Information Desk. Articles from the News-Post are also actively clipped for inclusion in the Maryland Room' s Vertical File.
Pre-20th century non-Frederick County microfilm holdings include:
- Charleston Spirit of Jefferson (WV): 1852-1865
- Hagerstown Mail: 1861-1870
- Maryland Gazette (Annapolis): 1745-1839
- New York Tribune: 1860-1865
The Maryland Room holds The New York Times on microfilm, with a print index, for the years 1950-2002. The Maryland Room also holds microfilm for the Washington Post for 1990-2002. The Post often contains articles pertinent to the study of Frederick topics. Post articles can also be found in the Maryland Room Vertical File.
Finding an Article
No comprehensive index exists for Frederick County newspapers. Several published indexes are located in the Maryland Room. Of particular note is the 3 volume series, Western Maryland Newspaper Abstracts (M 025.17WRI) by F. Edward Wright, covering the years 1786-1810. Also by Wright are Newspaper Abstracts of Frederick County 1811-1815 (M 025.17WRI), Newspaper Abstracts of Frederick County 1816-1819 (M 025.17WRI) and Marriages and Deaths in the Newspapers of Frederick and Montgomery Counties, Maryland 1820-1830. (M 929.3WRI)
Abstracts of Marriages and Deaths and Other Articles of Interest in the Newspapers of Frederick and Montgomery (M 025.17MOO) by L. Tilden Moore covers the years 1831-1840. Gil House's Marriages and Deaths from the Political Examiner, Frederick, 1831-35 (M 929.3HOU) does not offer abstracts or full text transcriptions, but provides the actual scanned image of each article.
Other published abstracts, for a variety of Maryland locales, can be identified by searching, under "words or phrase" in the FCPL online catalog, either "newspapers Maryland" or newspapers followed by the county in question, such as "newspapers Howard". Do not forget to look at subject headings for surrounding counties when searching for information on Frederick County persons.
Donna Valley Russell's 1987 work, Frederick County, Maryland, Genealogical Research Guide (M 929.3RUS) cites three articles that index specific topics of local interest. The journal Western Maryland Genealogy often includes newspaper abstracts.
We recommend searching the online version of PERSI, the Periodical Source Index available through the HeritageQuest online database. Tip: In PERSI, begin by searching the term "obituary" or "other" as record types in the US locality section. PERSI is also available on microfiche through LDS Family History Centers. Anyone interested in PERSI would be well advised to read Gil House's article "Perusing PERSI" from the June 2001 Frederick County Genealogical Society Newsletter. Copies of this article are available at the Maryland Room reference desk. We also recommend reviewing the variety of articles discussing PERSI available for free at ancestry.com. From the Ancestry homepage, click on "Learning Center" then "Article Archives" and enter "Persi" in the search box.
Search for article citations back to 1997 from the Frederick News-Post on the newspaper's website. Once you identify the article you want you can locate the full text of the article using FCPL's microfilm collection. Articles from the most current two weeks of the paper are available on the News-Post website, as is contact information for the News-Post's editorial librarian, a helpful resource for obtaining information about recent articles. The News-Post also has a clipping file that goes back to approximately 1986.
Search the Washington Post for articles back to 1977 on their web site.
A serious researcher investigating any Maryland topic should also consult The Baltimore Sun.
To quickly discover published abstracts and original newspapers held by the Historical Society of Frederick County, you can search the Society's catalog on a designated computer in the Maryland Room. This stand alone catalog is updated regularly. Simply enter "Newspapers" as a keyword.
Don't forget the vertical files in the Central Library's Maryland Room and at the Historical Society of Frederick County. Both are excellent sources for finding historic and contemporary articles on local topics.
Finally, anyone concerned with Frederick area historic newspaper articles may want to consult the Old News Abstracts page of the Mid Maryland Roots webpage. Included here are entries from a variety of Frederick County newspapers, as well as papers from surrounding counties and Pennsylvania.

By Andrew from Canada on 2009-10-30 12:08:58Things I liked:This is a Fantastic Pellet!!, and one of my regular's, Extremely Accurate in all of my .177 shooter's, XS-B4-2A(900fps), XS-B9-1(750fps),Gamo Recon(550fps), and in my Daisy PowerLine 617X(500fps) I can stack these round's one on top of the other @ 10M all day long.
Things I would have changed:Nothing!
What others should know:This pellet is essentialy a High Speed "Slug", and give's terrific energy transfer to your target, It has a point(semi-wadcutter), and gives you match grade accuracy, I also give the .22 version of this round 5 star's, and is my "Go-To" round for Vermin Termination. I highly reccomend the whole "H&N" line-up for their un-surpassed Quality/Quality Control, and Accuracy, any and all regular H&N user's would agree with me. Cheer's, and Happy Huntin', Andy.

Misaki's 'taichi' takedown - good or not?
As some of you may know, I have a fetish for taichi applications. No, don't detain me yet, I've got alive video.
This is from Misaki x Baroni in the latest Pride. When Phil was gassed out, Misaki used this throw/sweep to put him on his back:
From what I've read, this is a taichi move, but I'm sure that it exists in judo, etc.
From this fight, it seems it's low percentage and depends on your opponent not being able to balance out of it (in this case Phil was tired out and slow).
Any comments?52 blocks documentary: arrived

At first I thought I was seeing the takedown, and then an instant replay, but it appears to be 2 seperate ones.
The first time, he performs the takedown and is in the guys guard.
The second time, he does the thing, but then has the guys back.

Pretty much a osoto gari from a left-handed position. I like the fact Misaki just went for it. As Cullion said, that throw is bound to exist in other arts by different names, it just happens most people would associate it with judo.
Me likey clippie!!!

I wonder if Misaki intended osotogari or specifically the way he did it.
edit: the clip should be two different throws in sequence. No slo-mo.52 blocks documentary: arrived

Did ou even listen to these side by side with the previous model?? Or side by side with any ear buds out?? These things are incredible and the bass you get is amazing. Really sounds like over the ear models. Anyone that reviews these and isn't blown away by the sound didn't hear them. Try finding another set of earbuds that sound anywhere near this good for. 35.
I used the precious model a lot and liked them. The sound wasn't great but acceptable. These are fricken fantastic. If you like phone controls and don't mind these ear bud style, get these now!

and johny hendricks dies a little more on the inside
Survival is Triumph Enough
-Harry Crews
People make me laugh, do you honestly think Weidman is a tougher test than GSP really? GSP has beaten people who have competed at middleweight in the past and fyi.. Carlos Condit is the same height as Silva. Build is not too dissimilar either.
Weidman is not in the same universe as GSP.. and probably never will be. If you think Weidman is a tougher test you are insane.
I see the fight happening and come weight in's he may miss weight and end up at catch weight just as Soares planned
People who fail to see that a champion has obligations to his division and challengers make me depressed as an mma fan sometimes. Its like being the smartest kid in retarded class.
That being said, I really hope this is true, I think this would be without a doubt the biggest fight in MMA history.
PS If Silva drops to 170 should Weidman then move up to 205 given he has already cleared out the MW division? JBJ don't be scared homie, Weidman is coming for you and after that Cain!
Just defend the mother fucking title against the mother fucking number one contender.
And by the way, even if you are the smartest kid in the retarded class, your still retarded.
God hates me, never keep my banger on safety
My mother raised me alone, you can't break me
Like my hearts pumpin the blood of Royce Gracie!

COLLEGE STATION, Texas - Texas A&M University regents have raised some student fees and tuition at a few campuses.
The A&M System Board of Regents voted 6-3 to raise fees in four areas and tuition at some of the university system's campuses. Tuition at the university's main campus will remain flat next year, though still higher than at other campuses.
The vote was unusual because the board of regents general has unanimous decisions.
The Eagle reports total academic fees will increase by about 1 percent with the rising rates for computer access, library, student recreation center and university writing. The new fees will generate another $4 million annually.

Hello, this is my first post on the forum after reading many posts since the birth of my son over 2 years ago at 29+2 weeks. Here is a little bit about my pre-e story: at 28 weeks I did a 24hr urine test at my monthly exam when I gained 12 lbs in one month. it showed mild pre-e levels of protein, and when I went back to the obgyn to discuss the results, I was hospitalized at 29 weeks due to increasing bp's and protein spillage. After 2 days in the hospital, I delivered my son via emergency c-section, my son was 3lbs. He had a relatively event-less 8 week stay in the NICU (although NO NICU stay is event-less), and is now a happy and healthy almost 3 year old. I stayed in the hospital to get my bp under control, was released on bp meds and readmitted 2 days later with seizure-level bps and got mag sulfate again to bring my bp down.
a year ago my husband and I decided that if we were going to ttc again, that we'd need to be in better shape, I was 50lbs overweight since the birth of my son. So we got healthy and I lost almost all of the weight, met with the MFM and was told that our chance of recurrence was 20%. Then we got hit with shocking news - my husband was diagnosed with a rare terminal illness. 6months later, a couple of trips to Mayo clinic and 40lbs of weight gain on my part later, we discovered that he had been completely mis-diagnosed and does not have a terminal illness but is in fact a healthy 36 year old man. Whew!
And here I am. Still wanting to ttc, and seeing this as my only chance to do so because I am now 37 years old, I was 35 when I delivered my son. I am determined, frightened, hopeful, discouraged and very teary about the whole thing - so kind of a big mess! I still get concerned about my son occasionally, even though I get reassured at every pediatrician visit that he is completely healthy, I am still on the look-out for developmental problems from being born early. I even enrolled him in speech therapy despite my pediatrician telling me it's not necessary.
I guess I'm posting this EXTREMELY long post because I started reading posts on this board all of the time since deciding to consider ttc again, and I gain so much comfort in reading other's experiences. I just want to say hello, and that I'm in on this pre-e thing too. I am very grateful for this board and the support and information it gives!

The application works like a mini-BBS. Users login to the application with a nickname. The user session is saved in a session scoped component. Once logged in, they can leave quips or messages.
LoginAction extends
ActionSupport, which has default implementations of some of the basic action methods and provides some validation support.
The two main methods we are concerned with in
ActionSupport are
validate() and
Validation is performed on your Action class if it implements
Validatable (
ActionSupport does), and your DefaultWorkflowInterceptor is activated on that action. The default configuration includes the workflow interceptor.
execute() returns a String. This String will be used to determine which result is used.
The framework provides some default return Strings, namely:
For example, lets take a look at the relevant part of our
struts.xml configuration for LoginAction...
execute() returns a String of "success", the result with attribute "success" will be used. If
execute() returns a String of "input", the result with attribute "input" will be used.
You can define your own return results. For example:
We need only configure a result for the "resetPassword" name:
LoginAction has a bean property

loginName element.
Also, the bean property is available to your views. In Velocity, this accessible via the VelocityContext.

The invention relates to the field of random access memory (RAM) devices formed using a resistance variable material and a metal-chalcogenide material.
Resistance variable memory elements, which include Programmable Conductive Random Access Memory (PCRAM) elements, have been investigated for suitability as semi-volatile and non-volatile random access memory devices. In a typical PCRAM device, the conductivity/resistance of a chalcogenide glass backbone can be programmed to stable lower conductivity (i.e., higher resistance) and higher conductivity (i.e., lower resistance) states. An unprogrammed PCRAM device is normally in a lower conductivity, higher resistance state.
A conditioning operation forms a conducting channel of a metal-chalcogenide in the PCRAM device, which supports a conductive pathway for altering the conductivity/resistivity state of the device. After the conditioning operation, a write operation will program the PCRAM device to a higher conductivity state, in which metal ions accumulate along the conducting channel(s). The PCRAM device may be read by applying a voltage of a lesser magnitude than required to program it; the current or resistance across the memory device is sensed as higher or lower to define the logic "one" and "zero" states. The PCRAM may be erased by applying a reverse voltage (opposite bias) relative to the write voltage, which disrupts the conductive pathway, but typically leaves the conducting channel intact. In this way, such a device can function as a variable resistance memory having at least two conductivity states, which can define two respective logic states, i.e., at least a bit of data.
One exemplary PCRAM device uses a germanium selenide (i.e., GexSe100-x) chalcogenide glass as a backbone. The germanium selenide glass has, in the prior art, incorporated silver (Ag) by (photo or thermal) doping or co-deposition. Other exemplary PCRAM devices have done away with such doping or co-deposition by incorporating a metal-chalcogenide material as a layer of silver selenide (e.g., Ag2Se), silver sulfide (AgS), or tin selenide (SnSe) in combination with a metal layer, proximate a chalcogenide glass layer, which during conditioning of the PCRAM provides material to form a conducting channel and a conductive pathway in the glass backbone.
Extensive research has been conducted to determine suitable materials and stoichiometries thereof for the glass backbone in PCRAM devices. Germanium selenide having a stoichiometry of about Ge40Se60, as opposed to Ge23Se77 or Ge30Se70, for example, has been found to function well for this purpose. A glass backbone of Ge40Se60, with an accompanying metal-chalcogenide (e.g., typically silver selenide) layer, enables a conducting channel to be formed in the glass backbone during conditioning, which can thereafter more easily be programmed to form a conductive pathway. The metal-chalcogenide is incorporated into chalcogenide glass layer at the conditioning step. Specifically, the conditioning step comprises applying a potential (e. across the memory element structure of the device such that metal-chalcogenide is incorporated into the chalcogenide glass layer, thereby forming a conducting channel within the chalcogenide glass layer. Movement of metal (e.g., typically silver) ions into or out of the conducting channel during subsequent writing and erasing forms or dissolves a conductive pathway along the conducting channel, which causes a detectible conductivity (or resistance) change across the memory device.
Exemplary embodiments of the invention provide a method of forming and a structure, in which a PCRAM memory device has a chalcogenide glass backbone layer, preferably comprising antimony selenide having a stoichiometric formula of about Sb2Se3, and a metal-chalcogenide layer, which cooperates with the backbone layer.
In the following detailed description, reference is made to various specific embodiments of the invention. These embodiments are described with sufficient detail to enable those skilled in the art to practice the invention. It is to be understood that other embodiments may be employed, and that various structural, logical, and electrical changes may be made without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention.
The term "substrate" used in the following description may include any supporting structure including, but not limited to, a semiconductor substrate that has a substrate surface. A semiconductor substrate should be understood to include silicon-on-insulator (SOI), silicon-on-sapphire (SOS), doped and undoped semiconductors, epitaxial layers of silicon supported by a base semiconductor foundation, and other semiconductor structures. When reference is made to a semiconductor substrate or wafer in the following description, previous process steps may have been utilized to form regions or junctions in or over the base semiconductor or foundation. The substrate need not be semiconductor-based, but may be any support structure suitable for supporting an integrated circuit, including, but not limited to, metals, alloys, glasses, polymers, ceramics, and any other supportive materials as is known in the art.
The term "chalcogenide glass" is intended to include glasses that comprise at least one non-chalcogenide component selected from Groups 3-15 and at least one chalcogenide component from Group 16 of the periodic table. Group 16elements (e.g., sulfur (S), selenium (Se), tellurium (Te), polonium (Po), and oxygen (O)) are also referred to as chalcogens.
The term "metal-chalcogenide" is intended to include various alloys, compounds, and mixtures of metals and chalcogens (e.g., O, S, Se, Te, and Po), including some species which have a slight excess or deficit of metal. For example, tin selenide, a species of metal-chalcogenide, may be represented by the general formula SnSe, and silver selenide, another species of metal-chalcogenide, may be represented by the general formula Ag2Se. The invention is not limited to a particular stoichiometric ratio between the metal and chalcogenide components. Also, the metal-chalcogenide preferably incorporates the same chalcogenide component as in the chalcogenide glass; however, this is not a requirement and it is possible for a different chalcogenide component to be used in the metal-chalcogenide.
The invention is now explained with reference to the figures, which illustrate exemplary embodiments and throughout which like reference numbers indicate like features.
A memory element, i.e., the portion of the memory device 100 which stores information, is provided over the first electrode 16. In the embodiment shown in
Over the Sb2Se3 glass layer 18 is a layer of metal-chalcogenide 20, preferably silver selenide (e.g., Ag2Se). It is also possible that other metals may be substituted for silver, such as tin, and other chalcogenide materials may be substituted for selenium, such as sulfur, oxygen, or tellurium. The metal-chalcogenide layer 20 is preferably about 470 Å thick; however, its thickness depends, in part, on the thickness of the underlying Sb2Se3 glass layer 18. The ratio of the thickness of the metal-chalcogenide layer 20 to that of the underlying Sb2Se3 glass layer 18 should be between about 5:1 and about 1:1, more preferably about 2.5:1.
Still referring to
Devices constructed according to the embodiments of the invention, particularly those having a Sb2Se3 layer (e.g., glass backbone layer 18) show improved temperature tolerance relative to PCRAM devices using a germanium selenide glass backbone.
The optional chalcogenide glass layer 18 a is formed over the metal-chalcogenide layer 20, is preferably Ge40Se60, and is preferably about 150 Å thick. Over this optional chalcogenide glass layer 18 a is a metal layer 22, which is preferably silver (Ag) or antimony (Sb) and is preferably about 200 Å thick. Over the metal layer 22 is another optional chalcogenide glass layer 18 b, which is preferably Ge40Se60 and is preferably about 100 Å thick. The optional chalcogenide glass layer 18 b provides an adhesion layer for subsequent electrode formation. As with layer 18 of
Over the optional chalcogenide glass layer 18 b is a second electrode 24, which may be any conductive material, except those that will migrate into the stack and alter memory operation (e.g., Cu or Ag), as discussed above for the preceding embodiments. Preferably, the second electrode 24 is tungsten (W).
The above-discussed embodiments are exemplary embodiments of the invention utilizing a Sb2Se3 glass backbone layer (e.g., layer 18); however, other exemplary embodiments may be used which combine the first electrode layer 16 and address line layer 12. Another exemplary embodiment may use blanket layers (e.g., layers 16, 18, 20, and 22 of

Now referring to
A conditioning step is performed by applying a voltage of about 0.20 V across the memory element to incorporate material from the metal-chalcogenide layer 20 into the Sb2Se3 glass layer 18 to form a conducting channel in the glass layer 18. The conducting channel will support a conductive pathway during memory function of the memory device 100. The formation and disruption of the conductive pathway by writing or erasing the memory device 100 provides the logic one and zero for memory function.
The embodiments described above refer to the formation of only a few possible resistance variable memory device structures (e.g., PCRAM) in accordance with the invention, which may be part of a memory array. It must be understood, however, that the invention contemplates the formation of other memory structures within the spirit of the invention, which can be fabricated as a memory array and operated with memory element access circuits.
In the case of a computer system, the processor system may include peripheral devices such as a floppy disk drive 454 and a compact disc (CD) ROM drive 456, which also communicate with CPU 444 over the bus 452. Memory circuit 448 is preferably constructed as an integrated circuit, which includes one or more resistance variable memory devices, e.g., device 100. If desired, the memory circuit 448 may be combined with the processor, for example CPU 444, in a single integrated circuit.
The above description and drawings should only be considered illustrative of exemplary embodiments that achieve the features and advantages of the invention. Modification and substitutions to specific process conditions and structures can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. Accordingly, the invention is not to be considered as being limited by the foregoing description and drawings, but is only limited by the scope of the appended claims.

It's bogus; the Oscars haven't rewarded that kind of movie for years. Nowadays Oscar bait involves an Indiewood imprint of a major studio, stories about a remorseless sociopath, minimalist scores, and bad lighting. And The Social Network is no kind of challenging avant garde.
Personally, I think the situation is ripe for some True Grit upsets.
I do want to say something about this piece in Salon from Andrew O'Hehir and Matt Zoller Seitz, in its discussion of Black Swan. I liked Black Swan quite a bit, but I think what Zoller Seitz is saying is quite wrong. Say Zoller Seitz:
More! More! More films like this! I would rather see 10 more movies as "imperfect" as "Black Swan" than sit through "The King's Speech" again, and if I had my way, this movie would win best picture, if only to smack the entire industry across the face and say, "Look at this wild, personal movie. Marvel at it. It makes no rational sense. It is expressionist nightmare madness. It came straight from the filmmaker's gut. It's as mysterious and personal as a dream. And it made a ton of money! Audiences responded! Not everything has to be conventional. Take some risks, for God's sake!"Here, Zoller Seitz is embracing the "ambitious failure" kind of movie of which I am an unabashed fan. But Zoller Seitz is totally wrong to call Black Swan daring or risky. That's not a swipe. I appreciate many challenging and experimental movies, but I don't think those qualities are necessary for a movie to be great. Black Swan was, to me, the spiritual sibling of Machete: so unabashed and so unconcerned by its potential for goofiness that it becomes a really joyous experience. It's quite good, funny, moving, and at times incredibly beautiful. It sucks that this is going to sound like I'm slighting it. But Black Swan is nothing like risky. In fact, it's hard to imagine a movie that is at once less conventional but safer in its unconventionality.
To illustrate what I mean, let's consider it in relief with a movie that I am a fierce partisan for and which was actually risky: Richard Kelly's Southland Tales. A critical and commercial failure, Kelly's follow up to the critical darling Donnie Darko is now sort of a cautionary tale about unchecked ambition. But I love it, as deeply flawed as it is. And I think it says something about the real nature of daring in movies: risky movies are movies that take risks that don't flatter critics, which is not something that can be said for Black Swan.
Where Black Swan is populated by achingly hip ingenues, Southland Tales is filled with past-their-prime celebrities like Cheri O'Teri and Jon Lovitz. Black Swan's unconventional structural elements ultimately easily digestible and crowd pleasing; Southland Tales requires patience, effort, and long periods of misunderstanding. The symbolic elements of Black Swan are large-bore and obvious, inviting easy explication; those of Southland Tales are buried within its Byzantine, deliberately absurd complexity. Black Swan features the timeless orchestral music of ballet; Southland Tales is scored by Moby. In other words, at every moment when an artistic choice was made that represents a risk, the risk taken by Black Swan was in fact the choice that was most likely to flatter the aesthetic of people who meticulously curate their opinions on art and pop culture. Black Swan is a fine movie, but it's one perfectly crafted to be enjoyed by-- well, by people like Andrew O'Hehir and Matt Zoller Seitz. (And, evidently, me!)
In her review of Southland Tales, Manohla Dargis compared it to No Country for Old Men, saying in language remarkably similar to Zoller Seitz
I would rather watch a young filmmaker like Mr. Kelly reach beyond the obvious, push past his and the audience's comfort zones, than follow the example of the Coens and elegantly art-direct yet one more murder for your viewing pleasure and mine. Certainly "Southland Tales" has more ideas, visual and intellectual, in a single scene than most American independent films have in their entirety, though that perhaps goes without saying.Consider the differences here: when Dargis compares a little-loved, little-fought for movie like Southland Tales to perhaps the critical darling of the year (and the eventual Best Picture winner), she is saying something that is sure to be controversial to other critics. No Country for Old Men was one of those "fastidiously polished" films that Dargis comments on at a time when such movies were like catnip to critics. It was made by the Coen Brothers, two of the most rapturously reviewed critical favorites in recent history. It was a movie that at once excited audiences with its genre conventions and tugged at the experimental with its long philosophical digressions. In other words, it was the kind of movie that critics love to protect.
No such thing can be said for Zoller Seitz's target. As I've said, The King's Speech is a movie seemingly designed to reject the preferences of hip young critics. There's no skin in the game to compare it unfavorably to Black Swan. And the fact that this is true gives the lie to Zoller Seitz's contention that the movie is some sort of crazy risk-taking venture. Yes, perhaps in the eyes of the great American multiplex, it's risky. For winning plaudits in the pages of publications like Salon, it's as sure of a thing as a thing can be.
Like I said, there's no insult to the move in that. And it's no insult to Zoller Seitz's preference; aside from his absurd self-indulgence that we'll be talking about "Black Swan movies" twenty years from now (if we're talking about Black Swan movies next Oscar season, I'll be surprised), I have nothing but respect for his admiration. But in advancing a critical agenda that favors risk and personal weirdness in movies by citing a movie that is so meticulously crafted for an aesthetic just like his, he fails to see that a truly risky movie risks rejecting not just the general audience, but himself.

Keep on writing, Micah! Produce quantity and quality will follow naturally.
You should write and write and write, Micah, but write your best. Sometimes, yes, you need to vomit out what's in your head onto the page, but don't get into the habit of lazy writing--it makes the inevitable rewrites more difficult, and the sloppiness will still show through in the end.
Keep in mind the wise words of Hemingway.
Keep on keepin' on, young sir. One thing I recall about being your age is this: I never had any money. Why does that matter? Well, as King himself put it: "If you don't have time to read, you don't have the time (or tools) to write." Now ... From what I remember about being 13, I didn't lack time, but I did lack other resources. Funds. Cash. Assuming that may also be the case with you, my advice is to not be so hung up on owning books. Owning books is great, but you don't have to own them to read them. The library can be your best friend, so far as that goes. Also, don't forget about thrift stores, garage sales, etc., as great local places to pick up books that are sometimes in mint condition for a few bucks.
Best of luck. PM me the link when you can.
Hi Micah! I was around your age when I started writing - I haven't done it as much lately as I used to, but that needs to change. Writing is an awesome way to get everything out, and I love it.
Enjoy your time here, and get to updating that SK collection! The books are FAR better than the movies!
Well keep on writing I'm gonna keep my opinions about your novella to myself since I am a 14 year old and I thank I could possibly help you articulate some stuff, and it always amazes me how we have all these 'walk ins' come with these ideas, keep on coming and if your Roland please say so.
I would be happy to read it! I am 28 and not much further along in my writing than you (at least as far as things that I am not too ashamed of to even consider publishing) but I know that I would hope that someone would do me the same kindness!
I'm not real sure what you meant when you referred to all these "walk-ins" with their ideas, but New folks are always welcome to share their ideas here....always have been, always will be
While I appreciate the concern, I can articulate myself very well. I have many works I do not wish to publish because they are too personal. As far as publish-worthy works, I have about five. How many did you say you had?

Pike is terrible. Watching him reminds me of watching Boeckman in last year's title game, just completely in over his head.
Grape works as a soda. Sort of as a gum. I wonder why it doesn't work as a pie. Grape pie? There's no grape pie. - Larry David
How fitting that Pike blows it on the 4th & 1 run. And to Brian Kelly, why in the hell is Pike running it on that play?
UC has missed so many chances in this game it's pathetic. I think Kelly and the players did a little to much partying, and in awe of themselves, instead of preparing for this game. Very sloppy play, missed tackles, no offense. What an embarassment.
Nice play calling...
Roughing the kicker... that pretty much sealed up the loss
ANOTHER pick thrown by Pike.
"In our sundown perambulations of late, through the outer parts of Brooklyn, we have observed several parties of youngsters playing 'base', a certain game of ball. Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our close rooms, the game of ball is glorious"

FORT WAYNE — A large mall in Fort Wayne was partially reopened after a water main break caused major flooding in the building.
Approximately 10 to 15 stores will remain closed at Glenbrook Square Mall for clean up, but the rest of the mall will be open for business, according to mall administration.
Initially, mall employees informed area media that the approximately 40- to 50-store mall would be completely closed.
It was first believed the mall would remain open on normal hours, but officials later decided to partially close the building.

Real Housewives of New Jersey
Dina Manzo Admits The Real Housewives of New Jersey Damaged Relationships With Family Members
Dina Manzo may have left The Real Housewives of New Jersey several seasons ago, but the show has made a lasting negative impact on her family. Still, Dina's thoughts about the show are complex. While she's happy she exited when she did, Dina also acknowledges that the show provided her with other opportunities she may not have otherwise been afforded.
During a chat with Celebuzz a few months ago, Dina firsts addressed her controversial decision to leave the show, stating, "I don't regret it, and I'm so happy I did leave. I had to be true to myself. Everyone thought I was crazy walking away from a super-successful show, and all the red carpets you're invited to. But it wasn't me. I wasn't going home from work every day happy — and that, to me, is very important."
Instead, Dina traded in reality drama for her own show on HGTV and a new scripted show which will begin filming soon, and she is well-aware of Housewives' role in those opportunities.
However, it's clear that Dina does hold the show at least partially responsible for her fractured relationships with certain family members. "I'm not thrilled with what the show did with my relationships with a few of my family members," she revealed, "but I'm confident one day when the show is over, we'll be back to normal. We're waiting to see this pass."
Even though Dina doesn't mention any family members by name, we certainly know one sister she's referring to.
Do you think all of the Manzos will work it out once the cameras stop rolling? Weigh in below!

Stalking Irish Madness: Searching for the Roots of My Family's Schizophrenia
Random House Publishing Group, Aug 26, 2008 - Biography & Autobiography - 273 pages
In this powerful, sometimes harrowing, deeply felt story, Patrick Tracey journeys to Ireland to track the origin and solve the mystery of his Irish-American family's multigenerational struggle with schizophrenia.
For most Irish Americans, a trip to Ireland is often an occasion to revisit their family's roots. But for Patrick Tracey, the lure of his ancestral home is a much more powerful need: part pilgrimage, part investigation to confront the genealogical mystery of schizophrenia–a disease that had claimed a great-great-great-grandmother, a grandmother, an uncle, and, most recently, two sisters.
As long as Tracey could remember, schizophrenia ran on his mother's side, seldom spoken of outright but impossible to ignore. Devastated by the emotional toll the disease had already taken on his family, terrified of passing it on to any children he might have, and inspired by the recent discovery of the first genetic link to schizophrenia, Tracey followed his genealogical trail from Boston to Ireland's county Roscommon, home of his oldest-known schizophrenic ancestor. In a renovated camper, Tracey crossed the Emerald Isle to investigate the country that, until the 1960s, had the world's highest rate of institutionalization for mental illness, following clues and separating fact from fiction in the legendary relationship the Irish have had with madness.
Tracey's path leads from fairy mounds and ancient caverns still shrouded in superstition to old pubs whose colorful inhabitants are a treasure trove of local lore. He visits the massive and grim asylum where his famine starved ancestors may have lived. And he interviews the Irish research team that first cracked the schizophrenic code to learn how much–and how little–we know about this often misunderstood disease.
Filled with history, science, and lore, Stalking Irish Madness is an unforgettable chronicle of one man's attempt to make sense of his family's past and to find hope for the future of schizophrenic patients.

Photos and Review by Oyster.com Investigators
A nostalgic, shabby-chic lobby (with lots of velvet) and flawlessly luxurious rooms in a downtown Manhattan neighborhood where punk rock and squalor once ruled.
The lobby of the Bowery Hotel is like a pair of pre-distressed jeans on a well-heeled hipster: Sure, the look is a bit contrived, but the pants are very flattering -- and damn if the overall effect isn't almost ... perfect.
With its faded oriental rugs, shabby-chic vintage (and faux-vintage) furniture, and wrought-iron detailing, the lobby of the Bowery Hotel is unlike any other in New York. The atmosphere is darkly brooding and richly nostalgic; you wouldn't be surprised to see the dandified thug played by Daniel Day-Louis in Gangs of New York stroll past tasseled velvet couches, examine one of the strategically placed peacock feathers, and sit in one of the leather club chairs.
In fact, the Bowery tends to attract well-to-do guests in their thirties and forties who appreciate the curated decor and are savvy enough to know that the neighborhood is no longer synonymous with Skid Row. On the other hand, they are no doubt attracted by its punk-rock and counterculture associations. After all, the Bowery (the neighborhood, not the hotel) was a stomping ground for Patti Smith, Joey Ramone, and William S. Burroughs. And even if the heyday of those movements are decades in the past, a few vestiges of the neighborhood's grittier days are still around: CBGB's, the temple of punk that was once across the street, is gone, but the homeless shelter next door is still there. That street cred probably helps draw in the celebrity crowd as well: Ashley Olsen, Blake Lively, and Rachel Bilson have all reportedly stayed at the hotel recently, and I shared an elevator with comedienne Sarah Silverman, who told me she always stays here when visiting from LA.
The rooms themselves are also a big draw. Bright, comfortable, and ultra-luxurious, they bring Old New York to life by way of wainscoted ceilings, par avion envelopes in the desk, and C.O. Bigelow bath products and Marvis toothpaste in the bathrooms.
Given the glut of ultra-mod, glass-wrapped hipster hotels cropping up all over downtown Manhattan, including the new Cooper Square Hotel down the street, the nostalgic vibe here feels oddly refreshing and new. All in all, I'm tempted to call it an instant classic.
Warm and attentive service
Located on the edge of the East Village within walking distance of Union Square and SoHo in a hip, mostly gentrified neighborhood that's managed to retain some of its original character.
The Bowery, the street the hotel is located on and named after, is a mile-long avenue in Lower Manhattan that was for much of the last century associated with the down-and-out: the homeless, the drug addicts, and the punk rockers who often fell into both those categories. But these days the Bowery looks more like SoHo than Skid Row. A Think coffee shop, trendy clothing boutiques, and hip eateries like the newly opened DBGB, the latest endeavor from renowned French chef Daniel Boulud, now dot this once-desolate street.
The area still has some edge and grit -- there's a homeless shelter next door to the hotel, for example -- but thanks to the active foot traffic, it feels safe even late at night. In fact, it's the juxtaposition of the old and the new, the modern and the gritty, that makes the neighborhood what it is today, even if the purists still mourn the closure of CBGB's, the temple of punk that used to be just a few doors down. (There's now a John Varvatos store in its place.)
Located on the edge of the East Village, and just two blocks south of the Cooper Square Hotel, the Bowery is within easy walking distance of the Lower East Side, SoHo, and Union Square -- an ideal base, in other words, for exploring Manhattan's vibrant downtown nightlife scene. And it's only a 10-minute walk to NYU.
The one downside to the location: It's a bit of a hike to the subway. The 6, B, D, F, and M lines are closest to the hotel (within a few minutes' walking distance), or you can walk 10 minutes north to Union Square to catch an additional seven lines.
Bright, immaculate, and beautifully appointed, these rooms are virtually flawless.
These rooms are bright, beautiful, and comfortable. The small details in particular really shine: the antique, doily-like fabric draped over the backs of the chairs, the wainscoted ceiling, the brass fixtures, the Villeroy & Boch sink, and the pencils and par avion envelopes in the desk drawer.
Free Wi-Fi, free bike rentals, and free DVD rentals from a well-curated collection, but the gym is small and dark.
Dogs under 30 pounds welcome; no cats.
Dogs under 30 pounds are welcome to the hotel; cats are not. Owners must sign a document promising to cover any costs of cleaning up after their pets.
Not really a child-friendly atmosphere, but cribs are free, and Aerobeds are available.
Kids don't really fit in among the lobby's distressed antiques, decadent low light, and dark wood paneling. And this isn't a particularly child-friendly neighborhood, either. But cribs are free and fit into any room size. Aerobeds are available for a nightly fee, but fit only in king deluxe rooms or suites. The hotel also offers babysitter services.
There's a small section of kids movies in the hotel's extensive (and free) DVD collection. In addition, the hotel's restaurant, Gemma, has a decent kids menu with adult-sized prices: peanut butter and jelly with a glass of organic milk, grilled cheese and fries, and ants on a log, among other items.
The Bowery is still fairly new and has been immaculately maintained, save for some rust-colored mildew in the marble shower.
The oriental rugs that line the floor of nearly every square inch of the hotel probably hide dust and dirt very well. And the lobby is so dark it'd be nearly impossible to spot a stain or drink ring. With the exception of the faint bit of rust-colored mildew in my shower, public areas are well-kept.
Trendy trattoria on the ground floor serves up solid food in a loud restaurant with a lively atmosphere.
Gemma is located on the ground floor of the hotel, and its rustic wooden tables, candelabra chandeliers, copper pots, and wood-fired oven combine to create a lively bonhomie befitting a trendy trattoria in an even trendier hotel. But be prepared to raise your voice at dinner -- the restaurant is loud and packed elbow to elbow until at least 11 p.m. most nights. The good news is that the restaurant accepts reservations for hotel guests only. (For everyone else, it's first come, first served.) Everything I ordered was delicious. But is it worth passing up the scores of great options in the surrounding neighborhoods? Probably not.
Breakfast is reasonably priced, with dishes ranging from $7 (hard-boiled eggs on toast) to $12 (bagel with lox).
Note that guests at the Bowery can get a coveted reservation at the Waverly Inn, the exclusive (some say pretentious) restaurant co-owned by Vanity Fair editor Graydon Carter and Bowery hoteliers Eric Goode and Sean MacPherson. But reservations must be made exactly two days in advance via email -- no exceptions.
Guests and locals alike hang out in the cozy, dimly lit lobby bar that serves creative cocktails and boasts a well-selected wine list.
The bar in the lobby is classy (one of the bartenders was sporting a dapper three-piece suit when I was there), low-key, and intimate. Unlike at the bar at Cooper Square, you don't have to scream in order to be heard by the waitstaff. Hotel guests get first dibs on seating. Cocktails run about $14 a pop.
With 135 flawlessly appointed rooms, a super-hip bar tucked away in the nostalgic, velvet-filled lobby, 24-hour room service, free Wi-Fi, and free bike rentals, the Bowery Hotel redefines class in a gentrified downtown neighborhood where punk rock and squalor once ruled.

CLERMONT, Fla.-- The Chattanooga Lady Mocs softball team (1-4) dropped its fourth game of the season Sunday morning on the final day of the National Training Center Invitational in Clermont, Fla. to the Fordham Rams (4-1). Starting pitcher Kaisey Carson (Indianapolis, Indiana) was charged with the loss despite giving up only two runs in 2.2 innings of work. The Rams' win over Chattanooga is their second of the season.
Scoreless through two innings, Fordham struck first with two runs in the third inning. With Carson on the hill, Fordham centerfielder Jessica Crowley smacked a solo homerun over the leftfield fence to give the Rams a 1-0 advantage. Just three batters later, shortstop Elise Fortier blasted another homerun to left, taking the Fordham lead to 2-0. Freshman Rachel Albritton (Murfreesboro, Tenn.) was brought on in relief of Carson and recorded the final out of the inning.
Chattanooga answered back in the bottom of the third with a run of its own. Following back-to-back groundouts, senior Sara Poteat gapped a two-out triple to the left-centerfield fence. Junior Tyler Templet (Woodstock, Ga.) followed through in the next at-bat with an RBI single to cut the Rams' lead in half.
Going to the bottom of the seventh inning with the score standing at 2-1 in Fordham's favor, Chattanooga threatened when Ninjja Suetsugu (Sao Paulo, Brazil) singled to lead off the inning. Junior Stephanie Rieck (Chandler, Ariz.) put down a bunt to move the runner to second, but was able to beat out a throw from third base, finding herself safe at first base as well. With one out, Templet lined into a game-ending double-play.
Albrittion finished the day with 4.1 innings pitched, allowing just four hits and striking out five batters. As for the Lady Mocs' offense, Poteat, Templet and Suetsugu each recorded three hits. Rieck and Kasey Tydingco (Fairfield, Calif.) both recorded singles.
Chattanooga is back in action next weekend as they participate in the Tiger Invitational in Auburn, Ala. The Lady Mocs are scheduled to take on Kansas, Indiana State, Tennessee State and the hosting Tigers over the three-day weekend.
