Folsom's Goal gives UPS Win Over Bearcats
SALEM, OR — Adrienne Folsom scored an unassisted goal on her only shot of the game as the University of Puget Sound women's soccer team beat the Willamette University Bearcats 1-0 in a Northwest Conference match as Sparks Field on Saturday.
UPS remains in second place in the NWC with an 8-1 record (11-1 overall). The Bearcats falls to 7-5-2 overall and 5-4-1 in the NWC.
Folsom's goal came in the 26th minute when her shot bounced over Bearcat goalie Kari Woody. UPS's Tera Anderson was injured with 1:44 to play, causing a stoppage of play while she was transported to the hospital.
UPS out-shot the Bearcats 9-6 for the game. The Loggers had six corners to only two for Willamette. Both goalies — Erin Williams for UPS and Kari Woody for Willamette — had two saves.
The Bearcat's best chances to score came from freshman Rachel Clevenger in the second half. Williams saved the first by tipping it over the end-line for a corner kick. The second came when Clevenger nailed a shot from the top of the box, but right at Williams.
The Bearcats travel to Washington next weekend for matches against league-leading Whitworth on Saturday and Whitman on Sunday. UPS travels to Lewis and Clark this Sunday.

Appearing at this event
Date September 28, 2012
Start // End 6.30pm // 8.00pm
Venue Foyles
Ticket price £6
In this rare London event, celebrated graphic novelist Amruta Patil launches her new trilogy, "Adi Parva: Churning of the Ocean", drawn from the first chapter of the Mahabharat, one of India's greatest epics.
The South Asian Literature Festival, in association with the Comica Festival at Foyles, is delighted to welcome Amruta Patil to London for the first time. A writer and painter with an MFA from the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, she has become India's first female graphic novelist and an internationally acclaimed author and artist. In this event she will be in conversation with the award-winning novelist Neel Mukherjee and hosted by Comica Festival's co-director Paul Gravett.
They will discuss her debut, Kari, a powerful queer coming-of-age graphic novel about lost love, subsequent survival and lesbian friendship between Kari and the dying Angel.
In his review (see here), Neel extolled the book as "…worth reading for this exquisitely witty and crackling friendship alone. In three unsentimental pages Patil sketches out Angel's death; I could barely keep my hands from shaking after reading those three immensely vast, restrained, even austere pages." Neel also praised Amruta's writing as "…a thing of radiant beauty: witty, smart and swaggering, brightly knowing without ever falling into archness, illuminated by frequent flashes of poetry."
Amruta and Neel will also discuss her much-anticipated new graphic novel entitled Adi Parva: Churning of the Ocean (HarperCollins India, 2012). The first in a trilogy, this tells a tale drawn from the opening chapter of the Mahabharata, one of the greatest epics from India. With her evocative illustrations, Amruta relates this story through the recollections of some of the main characters. She has experimented with the story by choosing three relatively quiet protagonists, using them as 'sutradhars', or storytellers, for different parts of the tale, with a backdrop that sprawls across heaven and earth. The cast includes gods, demigods, queens, sages, seers, seductresses, hermits, kings, warriors, and navigators of the multiverse. Amruta will be speaking with Neel about the process of adapting the great Epic into graphic novel form, and what readers can expect as her trilogy unfolds.
Following the conversation, Amruta will be signing copies of Kari and a limited supply of advance copies of Adi Parva (published in October).
You can read Paul Gravett's profile of and interview with Amruta Patil here.
It's a re-imagining of a classic story, with her own illustrations, through the recollections of some of the main characters. Amruta has experimented with the story by choosing three relatively quiet protagonists, and used them as 'sutradhars', or storytellers, for different parts of the tale, with a backdrop that sprawls across heaven and hell. The cast includes gods, demigods, queens, sages, seers, seductresses, hermits, kings, warriors, and navigators of the multiverse.
After many years in the planning, this event is an exclusive opportunity to finally meet this extraordinary Indian graphic storyteller in her only speaking engagement in London.

MAC Big Bounce Shadows Q&A with MAC Senior Artist Romero Jennings
A key element to reviewing a product is really understanding what it does (and doesn't do). When I inquired with MAC, they put me in touch with MAC Senior Artist Romero Jennings, and I asked him a few questions that I knew were on my mind, and hopefully, a couple that you were wondering, too!
temptalia: How would you describe Big Bounce Shadow?
romero: Big Bounce Shadows are a colorful collection of 16 bright, wearable metallic watercolor shades that inspire you to instantly feel that Spring has arrived! Don't let these beautiful buildable creme shadows fool you, they wear extremely well in extreme weather conditions.
temptalia: What do the Big Bounce Shadows achieve?
romero: These shadows will set and stay in place without creasing. Even though the shadows are metallic I love to layer a nude matte color on top (ie: omega or cork eye shadow) for a diffused metallic day to evening finish. The effect is like "sequins under chiffon."
temptalia: How should we use the new shadows?
romero: I prefer the soft fluffy MAC #224 Brush for an almost air brushed finish. Start by stippling the shadow then finish with a slight swirl for blended perfection. Bright is back and it looks modern when paired with jet black mascara like the Studio Fix Mascara. This mascara has the Carbon Black ingredients which means it is really allows the lashes to stand out looking longer and thicker with only one swipe of the wand. I love adding more lash than liner with this bold shadow look for an approachable sweet but sexy finish. If you want an edgier, fun look try pairing the Big Bounce shadows with the Zoom Lash Mascara in bold, complimentary shades! The must have color that is sure to please is called "Blue Charge" – a deep navy blue that complements every eye color.
temptalia: How could one wear Big Bounce Shadow alone as a wash without creasing?
romero: I recommend a small dab of Prep & Prime Face Primer on lids before applying for a long lasting finish.
The description of these specifically (apart from the press release) also reads, "Eyes are fresh and luminescent with beautiful sheen washes of vibrant color using new Flighty Eye Shadows. This spongy, mousse-like eye shadow is lightweight, lasts for hours, and imparts a cooling sensation upon application."
I'm in the process of revising my review and will bump it up in the next hour or two. It doesn't change any of the results or testing I did, but it does change how it is graded, what is important, and how well it performed relative to the claims.

We've been waiting patiently to find out what happens next for Booth and Brennan after the cliffhanger at the end of Bones Season 9.
With just a few days remaining before Bones Season 10 Episode 1, what can David Boreanaz and Emily Deschanel tell us about the upcoming season?
"Being in prison brings up a lot of stuff for Booth," said Deschanel on a conference call with reporters, adding that Booth has PTSD.
From the sounds of things, we'll get to see a change in Booth's character, as well as new dynamics in his relationship with Brennan. They'll struggle and, at times, Brennan will have to re-evaluate the relationship in some ways.
"It will obviously bring them closer together," Boreanaz notes after talking about some of the conflicts the two will have. "I think that throughout these seasons we've always maintained the relationship."
Booth's imprisonment doesn't just affect his relationship with Brennan, though. He also has two children. How they're dealing with all of this will also be addressed this season.
The characters will be getting back to everyday life, too, including normal parenting decisions. Deschanel talked about her own parenting experience, and how in some ways she finds that she and Brennan are not so different.
"I certainly was similar to Brennan in that I'm researching as many schools as possible," she said.
And what about that new FBI agent? Deschanel said that James Aubry was originally sent to spy on Booth. This is a recurring role, so it will be interesting to see what the new character will add to the series.
What else can we look forward to this season? Another undercover episode, for one thing. And apparently these episodes are as much fun to film as they are to watch! Boreanaz talked about how much fun these are to shoot, saying that he and Deschanel always "have a blast" with these episodes.
The 200th episode is also coming up this season. Deschanel said it will be "very different" and something that we haven't seen in quite a while.
"It's going to be fun. I think it's going be great opportunity to enjoy the 200th episode, but on top of it kind of give something back to the fans," said Boreanaz.
And if you're wondering what it's been like for the actors to film these upcoming episodes (and the end of season 9), just know they've been working very hard. Deschanel said there have been long hours as well as some "intense emotions." But this is what's going to make the upcoming season so great.
"We're not just resting on our laurels here," Deschanel said. "We're taking this to the next level."
With her son just starting preschool this week and a third birthday right around the corner, Emily Deschanel is one proud mommy.
"[Henry] turns 3. We're going to have a little party for him, trying not to overwhelm him too much," Deschanel, 37, told PEOPLE at the Mercy For Animals 15th Anniversary Gala Friday night in West Hollywood.
"We're going to have some vegan tacos for his party. It will be a lot of fun," says the actress, adding she's been vegan for 21 years.
Naturally, the Bones star has passed on her food choices to her son.
"He's 99 percent vegan. My husband's not 100 percent vegan so sometimes he eats some eggs with him, but I try to make sure [they're] coming from my friend's eggs," explains Deschanel. "But most of the time he's 99 percent vegan."
Besides eating vegan food, Deschanel — who doesn't own any pets — finds other ways to get Henry involved with animals.
"I just took him to Farm Sanctuary a couple of weeks ago, where he got to spend time with pigs, cows, sheep, goats and chickens," shares Deschanel, adding she tries to bring her son there to "[let] him see that they have their own personalities and they are individual creatures. They feel emotions and pain just like a dog or a cat."
Along with fun field trips, she says her preschooler "gets to spend time with lots of other peoples' dogs and cats."
But getting Henry his own pet is on her list. "[It's] something I really want for him, but we have a lot on our plate already," she says with a laugh.
The road to Booth and Brennan's momentous marriage on Bones was paved with… awkward kissing?
In the following exclusive video from the Fox drama's Season 9 DVD release (in stores next Tuesday), stars David Boreanaz and Emily Deschanel reminiscence about their characters' uncomfortable wedding rehearsal — which featured the actress' real-life husband David Hornsby as the minister.
"It is strange," admits Deschanel. "I have to kiss [David] in front of my husband. It's just very awkward."
But thankfully, all that "nervous energy," as Boreanaz puts it, didn't stop the couple from finally getting hitched.
Adds creator Hart Hanson: "We could not hold it back anymore. We held it back as long as we could."
Fox drama "Bones" enters the decade club when the show returns with its season premiere on September 25.
On Monday night, series stars Emily Deschanel and David Boreanaz reflected on their show hitting its tenth season.
"It is a big deal," Emily told Access Hollywood at Fox's Fall Eco-Casino Party in Santa Monica. "It's a short list of shows that have made it to 10 seasons, so I feel very honored to be among that company. So, it's pretty exciting. I can't believe it. I feel, in one sense, I blinked and then I'm here. I did a pilot and all of a sudden, I've done almost 200 episodes, but at the same time, so many things have happened in that time and we've been able to follow these characters and these relationships over time and see how they change and that's been wonderful. "
David, who plays Booth on the show, said he knew early on that his series had a classic feel.
"It's quite an accomplishment for everybody involved, and I think when we look back at all the moments and the memories that we've had, for me, it's always moment to moment, working in the present, and when [we] did the pilot I was so excited because it had this feel when I read the script — it had almost like a 'Romancing the Stone' kind of feel to it," David told Access. "These two characters were bickering and getting through the jungle, and I think that's pretty much similar to what Bones and I go through… and we're not travelling through jungles, but… I think we're in the concrete jungle."
Emily also shared a little hint at what's to come when the show resumes in a couple of weeks on Fox.
"Booth is in prison and we're trying to get him out and that's very dramatic," Emily said. "We think he's going to get killed in prison because he's put all these guys in prison and now he's in prison with them and they're trying to kill him, so we're working to get to the bottom of the conspiracy."
Emily Deschanel sat down for another interview at yesterdays 2014 Comic-Con International Convention with TV Line. This time she did a joint interview with her "Bones" co-star David Boreanaz, where they teased big changes coming for the 10th season, David's scruffy facial hair, and a lot more! It's definitely a fun interview to watch. I always enjoy joint interviews between David and Emily as they are both so adorable and fun together. You can check it out below! Enjoy!
Emily Deschanel talked with Tim Stack from Entertainment Weekly yesterday afternoon at the 2014 Comic-Con International Convention to promote the upcoming 10th season of "Bones." She talks 10 years on "Bones," teases the upcoming season, a possibility of guest starring on her sisters show "New Girl," and more. It's a great, fun interview and definitely worth the watch. Enjoy!
The "Bones" panel at the 2014 Comic-Con Convention was hosted earlier today and the staff at TV Line recapped the panel giving us details, important highlights, and more! You can check it all out below! Also, be sure to check out the Season 10 full trailer that was released earlier in the day. Enjoy!
P.S. Photos, interviews, and other media from the panel will be uploaded later tonight or tomorrow afternoon. So keep checking back!
The clink won't be kind to Booth when Bones return this fall, the show's stars Emily Deschanel, David Boreanaz and executive producer Stephen Nathan revealed at Comic-Con on Friday.
The action will pick up four months after the events of the Season 9 finale, with Booth feeling the effects of a life behind bars. "We will see a different side of him," Boreanaz previewed, adding that his alter ego will suffer from PTSD.
"He's definitely in a state of confusion with his present state of mind, with his state in the bureau, with where he is with Brennan," the actor said.
Things won't go much better for his wife back at their (new) home. "She's with her child, alone," Deschanel said. "It's very worrisome for her, because Booth is not safe in prison. He's a federal agent. He's put a lot of people in prison who don't like him. Even the guards don't like him." True to form, Deschanel added, the forensic anthropologist "puts her focus in her work when things are overwhelming."
Brennan and the rest of the Jeffersonian team will do everything in their power to spring Booth in the season opener. But just because [Spoiler alert!] Booth gets out doesn't mean life will immediately return to normal for the G-man.
"This is the first time that he's been betrayed by an institution that he'd devoted his life to," Nathan noted. "It really shakes the foundation of the entire premise of the show – whether he can trust the FBI, how he can get back to work."
Meanwhile, the conspiracy that was unveiled last season is "something that's been going on decades" and will continue to live on, Nathan continued. "While they can catch one murderer, that doesn't mean all murder stops. They will put a stop to this within the first few episodes, but the reality of some kind of shadow government won't go away completely."
Other highlights from the panel:
THE BIG ONE | Next season's milestone 200th episode will be "one of our odd ones," featuring "not a typical murder," teased Nathan, who will likely partner with creator Hart Hanson to write the hour. Boreanaz will helm the installment.
MURDER AND MAYHEM | Among the cases on tap: an undercover episode; the murder of a Rush Limbaugh-type figure; the show's version of Wolf of Wall Street; hours dealing with the world of psychics – "We want Cyndi [Lauper] to come back, definitely," Nathan said – and human trafficking; and a murder at a forensic convention.
SIBLING LOVE | Hodgins' brother will return, Nathan revealed.
R.I.P. GRANDPA | Will the show pay tribute to the passing of Ralph Waite, who played Booth's grandfather? "We don't want to exploit his death," Nathan replied, adding that events at the start of the season make an homage difficult, "but we do plan to address it."
Michael Ausiello sat down with "Bones" EP, Stephen Nathan, today at the 2014 San Diego Comic-Con Convention to discuss the upcoming 10th season, details on the 200th episode, and so much more. It's not an Emily interview, but it has a lot of great tidbits about the upcoming season. So I figured it was worth sharing with you guys. You can read the article below and the interview is just below that. Enjoy and keep checking back for more updates from Comic-Con!
Booth and Brennan are fleeing the scene of the crime.
Bones EP Stephen Nathan confirmed to me exclusively Friday that Booth and Brennan will be moving into new digs when the Fox drama premieres its 10th season on Thursday, Sept. 25 at 8/7c.
The change of scenery comes in the wake of the violent, deadly shoot-out at their old crib in last May's cliffhanger — a kerfuffle that landed Booth in the hospital and in jail.
"The memories are too horrible for them to stay," Nathan explained during his visit to TVLine's San Diego Comic-Con video suite. "Who's going to stay in that house? That's not a good house to stay in."
Press PLAY below for more on that, as well as scoop on the "out of the ordinary" 200th episode, Booth's new FBI sidekick, the baby on the way and more.
Peter Rice, a top FOX executive, attended the 2014 Television Critics Association press tour earlier today where he talked about the future of "Bones." You can read below what Rice had to say and follow the source link after the article to view his comments about other FOX series.
Comings (24?) and goings (Bones?) were the hot topics as Fox Networks Group Chairman and CEO Peter Rice took the stage at the Television Critics Association summer press tour, ahead of Dana Walden and Gary Newman officially seizing the reins later this month.
As for Bones — which kicks off its 10th season Sept. 25 — Rice said, "I hope this year is not the last year. It's a fantastic series. It has famously moved all over our schedule. It's Emily [Deschanel] and David [Boreanaz's] last year, contractually… but I hope it will come back."
Edit (July 25): Emily Deschanel hit the red carpet at the Fox Summer TCA All-Star Party held at an exclusive hotspot on Sunday (July 20) in West Hollywood, California. Emily was joined at the party by her "Bones" co-stars David Boreanaz, Tamara Taylor, and Michaela Conlin. She looks absolutely stunning, doesn't she? You can check out 89 MQ and HQ photos of Emily in the photo gallery. Enjoy!
Question: Despite Booth's dangerous situation in jail, will Bones' Booth and Brennan have seen each other by the time the Season 10 premiere rolls around (via conjugal visits…)? —Amelia
Ausiello: Responds EP Stephen Nathan: "They will definitely have seen each other. Although they won't have touched each other. It will be three months later when we see them again. And they have been through a lot." (Side note: Props to David Boreanaz for directing that spectacular, feature film-quality shootout at Booth and Brennan's crib at the conclusion of the finale. I'm still catching my breath.)
Recently I sat in on a Fox conference call with David Boreanaz and Emily Deschanel of the TV series, "Bones." The show's season finale, which was directed by Boreanaz, airs Monday May 19 at 7 p.m.
Q: You're directing the finale, David. Can you kind of talk about doing that and then, Emily, about being directed by David?
D. Boreanaz: Well, it's always a challenge to take on something like the season finale. There's – you know, you get to the end of the season and then everybody's, you know, a little tired and worn out and, you know, the patience is thin, and with this specific season finale being that there was so much information that we kind of had to gather up and put out there in one 45-minute hit, it made it, you know, difficult and challenging. There were lots of elements that were involved, whether it was, you know, dealing with the big, huge hearing in front of Congress or the intense battle between other forces that could come in and jeopardize Bones and Booths' relationship as well as the outcome of where they're heading into as far as season ten is concerned.
So you take all that into account and it definitely is a journey and something that, by the end of it, you're pretty exhausted.
E. Deschanel: I love being directed by David, and I'm not just saying that. I say it to everybody who's not on our set. I think David is just really talented as a director as well as an actor. He has a whole other career, if he wants it, when this thing's over, if he wants to do that he could make a whole career out of it.
He's great technically, he's good with the actors, he'd decisive, he knows what he wants, he knows what he doesn't want, he comes in and, like, I'm always just amazed at how he's dealing with all these incredible elements and he makes it seem so easy. Yes, there's huge scenes. Like you said, the Congressional Subcommittee, there's a lot that goes on in this episode, without giving too much away, but there's a lot of elements and he does it all with ease, and I love working with him.
So it was a pleasure, once again, to work with him as an actor, with him as a director and I think that the season finale, you know, working on it, it was a great experience. It's a really – there's a big cliffhanger. It's – there's a lot going on for Booth and for Brennan. And so, I think everyone will be pleased. I haven't seen the episode yet, but everyone who's seen it has been raving about it, so I'm really excited to see it myself
Q: The finale is supposed to be really explosive. Can you talk about how that will affect Bones and Booth's relationship?
E. Deschanel: Yes, there's a huge thing that happens at the end of this episode that, you know, we're not going to tell you about right now, but it changes everything. For a while, with not only Booth and Brennan, between them, but also between kind of everything, Booth's job, possibly Brennan's job – I mean, everything.
So I can't tell you exactly how it changes things, but it will change the dynamic and, you know, kind of everything about them and their work and relationships.
D. Boreanaz: I think it puts them in a different place for sure. I mean, we kind of know that going into a new season and what we're going to do with these characters, but I think it's interesting to see the end of this run, especially season nine in this specific finale, that there is a lot of destructive forces that could kind of come upon us and we find out that there's more to it than what meets the eye and they've been kind of working kind of underground for a while, whether that's through conspiracy theories or just, you know, stuff that they've been hiding in the FBI or through the Jeffersonian, but it all kind of comes to a head and it's pretty detrimental at the end.
You know, things will change for the good and there will be, also, things that they'll have to adjust to. I keep saying adjusting because it's definitely going to be different.
Q: Can you talk a little bit about working with Freddie Prinze, Jr. this season?
D. Boreanaz: He's great. Freddie was great. I mean, he came in – it's always tough and difficult for guest stars to come in on an arc and on an already existing show because everyone knows each other and I'm sure it's always like, kind of like, "Oh, I'm going to go do this arc," but he is so grounded and professional and he's a true pro. He just comes in and he knocks it out in a way that's very honest and a lot of fun as well. So he kind of fit right in and, you know, I hope to have him back, you know, this season for season ten. I really enjoyed working with him and he's just a great person as well.
Q: There's a new squintern coming to play in the next episode. How do Booth and Brennan react to her?
D. Boreanaz: Well, when it comes to the squints, I rely on my main Bones, my main girl. She evaluates all the squints. I just love having some fun and making sure they have all the info in order to solve the crime.
E. Deschanel: Yes, well, I guess, I mean – yes, I, Brennan thinks that the new squintern is very good at her job except she does not care for the way she guesses about things and makes assumptions. And Brennan is by-the-book and doesn't appreciate that kind of – Laura Spencer plays the new intern. Now I can't remember the character's name, but what is that? Hopefully it'll come to me, but – Kim will probably tell us at the end of the call.
So she's kind of an intuitive person. Even though she's very smart, her intuition probably comes from experience, but she throws things out and you know, in the episode coming up she's like, "I'm just getting a vibe that this is an athlete" and then we find evidence that he was an athlete. She really rubs Sweets the wrong way, but then that attention might turn to in a romantic way, she certainly kind of has her, has some interest in Sweets. So that's kind of an interesting development.
Q: I know that you guys have been together and acting for obviously such a long time and you're going into season ten, but how has the chemistry remained, like, intact with you two because you two are so funny together and I've seen you at Comic-Con and I've interviewed you guys in the past and you just are always laughing and funny together and you guys have such great chemistry.
D. Boreanaz: You've seen just the good days. There are bad days. I think what – you know, what's unique in this situation, seriously from day one, honestly, blessed to have a costar that can be open and honest and just tell me, like, "You're bothering me today" or, "I have an issue." We have complete trust and respect for each other that we can just go aside and say, "You know what? I'm having a bad day. Just know where I'm coming from, Emily," and we both support that in each other.
Shooting a television show is hard enough and it takes a lot of time and it takes away from your personal life, your family life and you know, thank god I was blessed with a costar who is so generous and supportive and yet also, we just – we have a bad day, we have a bad day. We recognize it and we go on. We don't hold onto it, we don't judge and we just go forward. And I think that kind of helps our chemistry. We use it. We use what we're going through in our scenes and we've learned early on that that helps our chemistry. If anything, it helps our chemistry and it helps us grow with the characters rather than being so stagnant and say, "Hey, we're in season nine, so let's just kick back" and do nothing about it and take it for granted. You can't. You have to be able to push every moment and every scene. It's so important. Yeah, we have those moments, but you know, I think that's what helps us.
E. Deschanel: I totally agree with everything David said. We have open communication, which is something we started from the beginning, like he said. We just tell each other if we're in a mood or the other one's annoying either of us or something. And you know, we just, we accept that we're not, you know, we're not perfect, you know but I think one thing, too, is that we both know how important this relationship is both onscreen and off and how important it is for us to get along together both onscreen and off and how we both have a commitment to the show. Like David said, it's not like you're like, "Oh, it's season nine" and we're resting on our laurels. We're working hard.
Like David said, for six seasons we would meet every weekend and work on stuff together. Now we do stuff on our own. We both – our families have expanded and you know, lives have changed, but we have that foundation and we're really committed to making this show as good as it can be. And part of that is getting along onscreen and off, like I said, and like, you know, David's a really fun guy to work with. He, you know, he doesn't – he's not like a dark person. He can play that, he can do, you know, serious stuff and deep stuff, but we both believe in having a good time.
We're not doing, you know, brain surgery here, we're not curing cancer. We're entertaining people and we absolutely can have fun while we're doing that and have fun together with everybody else on our crew and cast. So you know, I'm really lucky that David is such a fun person to work with and a great guy.
Q: Is it a weird transformation of playing partners to them ultimately having a relationship and you know, kissing on screen and having a family?
D. Boreanaz: Well, you know, it's development of the character, obviously. The crux of it was these two characters that, who had to work together and there was a sexual tension, there was a conflict and we played that and we continue to play that. I mean, in our subtext when we're working together, even though the two characters are married and they have a kid, so that's part of your job, to do that, and if you can't excite the writers then what's the purpose? I mean, you have to continuously do that.
So for us it's always been about the relationship of the characters, going back to that and exploring that and making that fun for the audience.
Q: I was just wondering, with the show having been on for a long time now it offers kind of opportunities for developing characters a great deal over that time. What and how have you enjoyed seeing Bones and Booth develop over that time?
D. Boreanaz: I've enjoyed it. I continue to enjoy it. It's not something to me that is, that I put a period on yet. It's, for me, it's growth with inside the themes and the moments and where you can take them because at the end of this season when we were shooting, there were moments that were pretty intense that reminded Booth of that inner child and how much he still wants to play with this other character. And for me, that's really what it's about.
So you know, you watch him, you partake in these nine seasons and you just make it fresh. And when we started season one, scene one, everyone's like, "Oh, you're going to get to two and three and four" and I don't – and I think Emily knows this about me – go back in the past. I focused on the work tomorrow and whether it's season six or season seven or I'm gracious to get to ten seasons, to me it's the same scene, the same shot that we did when we first shot the first scene of the pilot.
E. Deschanel: I was like, it's the same scene? I was wrapped up in your thoughts. I'm like, am I supposed to say something? Yes, I mean, I think that if we had not changed as a couple and as characters, the show wouldn't be as interesting. I'm so glad that they've, that we've evolved over time and our relationships have evolved over time, and it's not just Booth and Brennan, but Angela and Hodgins and Cam and Sweets, etc. So I think that, you know, thank god we've been changing this whole time and it hasn't remained stagnant and it's different. We keep moving forward, like David said, and it keeps it interesting.
Q: Where would you like to see them go in the future?
D. Boreanaz: You know, I think the future, like I said, is destined only for tomorrow's work and today's thoughts, so I can't say what's going to happen to them because I don't look that far down. When I look at the first episode of season ten, then I'll focus on that and then where I am with the character. You know, I'm sure that Hart and Stephen have – know how this show is going to end, but you know, it's the same thing what happened when how will they know they were going to get married and have a child? You know, circumstances happen in real people's lives. Emily got pregnant and it organically happened, and it happened and it felt right for the show. It wasn't pushed, it wasn't pressed, and I think that we believe in that, at least I do, and I think that's what it's all about for me.
E. Deschanel: David definitely likes to live in the moment and he doesn't, you know, he doesn't live in the past, he doesn't live in the future. I worry probably too much about the past and future, but I don't know. I really leave that to the writers to decide and then where we're going, but you know, always have, you know, thoughts and stuff once we see what they're thinking, but I don't know. I kind of love being surprised, so I leave it to the writers to decide where we're going in that way.
The Ghost Killer may be dead on Bones, but she will continue to haunt Booth and Brennan during the Season 9 finale (Monday at 8/7c, Fox).
As Booth (David Boreanaz) prepares to be confirmed for his new role at the FBI during a congressional hearing, he receives a phone call from a conspiracy blogger who claims to have information linking the Ghost Killer's family —the McNamaras — to some FBI brass. Unfortunately, the blogger ends up dead before Booth and Brennan (Emily Deschanel) get a chance to connect the dots.
"Brennan thinks she's done with the Ghost Killer, but in an indirect way, she's not," Deschanel tells TVGuide.com. "When you get a phone call from a mysterious person talking about a conspiracy and they end up dead, it's very suspicious." Adds executive producerStephen Nathan: "They uncover what appears to be a conspiracy that is far, far larger than the Ghost Killer. What we wanted to do, because we have been dealing with serial killers on a relatively regular basis on the show, was take this in another direction and make this rabbit hole that they're falling down far more nefarious and conspiratorial than we have ever seen before."
As Brennan investigates the blogger's cause of death, Booth digs deeper into the McNamara-FBI connection. But for obvious reasons, Booth must keep his work quiet. "He certainly is suspicious about the FBI and other government agencies," Deschanel says. "We start uncovering some pretty intense stuff. We have to keep it under wraps because we don't know who to trust at the FBI — or anywhere really."
And Booth's investigation into his own agency will take an emotional toll on him. "Booth is a guy who is incredibly honest, incredibly just and uncompromising, and I don't think he'll ever change," Nathan says. "But what we're doing is putting him up against a situation which is the opposite." Adds Deschanel: "Booth believes in his country and he believes in the FBI. He sees these as a few individuals who have abused their power. That doesn't shake his confidence in the bureau or his government … but that doesn't mean he isn't willing to take those people down in whatever way possible. It becomes a hunt for these people, and Booth has to fight them."
Indeed, that intense firefight becomes the centerpiece of what is arguably the biggest, most action-packed finale the show has ever done. And Boreanaz was not only dodging bullets but he was also the man calling the shots behind the camera. "It's always a challenge to take on something like the season finale," Boreanaz says. "With this specific finale, there was so much information that we had to gather up and put out there in one 45-minute hit, it made it difficult and challenging. Whether it was dealing with the big huge hearing with Congress or an intense battle between other forces that could come in and jeopardize Bones and Booth's relationship… it definitely was draining. By the end of it, you're pretty exhausted."
And viewers may find themselves exhausted by the end as well. As these grim promos tease, Booth will be fighting for his life. "It all comes to a head, and it's pretty detrimental," Boreanaz says. "It puts them in a different place." Adds Deschanel: "I wouldn't categorize this as a happy ending. It changes everything. Booth always has faith that the good guy wins, but in this situation, it doesn't look good."
But Booth's survival isn't even the biggest question of the finale. In fact, it's the season's closing seconds that will have the most impact on what the show will look like in Season 10.
"Everything — Booth's work, Booth's relationship [with Brennan], and the direction of Booth and Brennan's life — will be called into question at the end of this season," Nathan says. "People will be changed by what has happened at the end of Season 9 and what will occur at the top of Season 10. The show as we all know it will continue; it will just continue in a different way."
Bones' Season 9 finale airs Monday at 8/7c on Fox.

17. Method according to claim 16, wherein the water to be treated contains 150 to 1,540 mg of clay per liter.
This invention concerns itself with a method for impeding the sedimentation of clays in waters that contain them; it is specially applied to the treatment of river water used in industrial circuits, this water containing more or less clay in state of suspension. The invention comprises also a product that serves as additive to water for said purpose of impeding the sedimentation of the clays.
One of the inconveniences encountered in industry when river water is used in manufacturing circuits is that the clay particles, initially present in the water, conglomerate and deposit in the pipelines or receptacles; this results in a clogging that lowers the coefficient of thermal transmission of the walls of the apparatus concerned; at the same time the friction coefficient of said walls increases damaging the hydrodynamic qualities of the apparatus. In the case of narrow passages there is even the risk of a total obstruction. When the clays are themselves harmful for a manufacture, it is required previously to eliminate them by a more or less costly operation; but in the case where only the sedimentation is physically troublesome, as, for instance, in cooling circuits, the clays generally are not totally eliminated, and means are used only for impeding the deposit of said substances. Known already in particular are adjuvants such as methylene bis-naphthalene, sodium sulfonate, that when added to the water make it possible to reduce the sedimentation of the clays that are present. However, a lot still remains to be done in this connection, since the known adjuvants only exert a partial action and all the same allow the precipitation of a large portion of the clays contained in the water.
This invention constitutes a marked improvement on the method of inhibiting the deposit of clays by the use of additives. The invention makes it possible in fact considerably to increase the clay fraction that remains in suspension after standing for several days, this fraction being much greater than with the adjuvants hitherto known. Another advantage brought by the invention is that the new adjuvant used gives good results even with more or less saline waters, specially saltish waters such as those of estuaries. Besides, in the adjuvant according to the invention, there suffice much smaller concentrations than in the case of the usual additives.
The new method according to the invention consists in dissolving in the water to be treated a small amount of a water-soluble polymer bearer of hydroxamic groups attached to a linear carbon chain. These polymers can be represented by the formula ##STR1##
The polyolefinic chain -- -- --CH2 -CH-- -- -- -- can be of the polyvinyl, polyacryl, polybutenyl, etc. type, but it can also include patterns of copolymers, for example, acrylic, maleic, vinylic acids, esters, or salts, in particular vinyl, vinyl pyrrolidone, butadiene, styrene, or acrylonitrile acetate.
In the inhibitors of clays sedimentation according to the invention, the hydroxamic group can be partly or entirely replaced by a corresponding thio derivative that is, a group of the type ##STR2##
A particularly useful form of the hydroxamic polymers in question is the one where the hydrocarbon chain bears at the same time hydroxamic groups (1) and amide groups ##STR3##
The inhibiting activity of the hydroxamic functions is not disturbed by the presence of amide functions, while the preparation of these mixed hydroxamic and amidic compounds is easy, which represents an undeniable industrial advantage. It is possible, in fact, to manufacture with good yield polymers that bear the two kinds of groups in question (1) and (2) by heating a polyacrylamide with the hydroxylamine.
The sedimentation of clays in a water is best impeded when in the hydroxamic polymer used from 10 to 90% of the active functions are hydroxamic groups (1), the rest being amide groups (2); but the preferred proportions are from 30 to 60% hydroxamic groups and from 70 to 40% amide groups.
Although the invention can be carried out with polymers of different degrees of polymerization, specially from 5 to 200, it is preferable to use agents that are easily soluble in water to which they impart only a slight viscosity, which is obtained with polymerization degrees of from 10 to 100 and mainly from 12 to 70.
When the hydrocarbon chain is of the simple type shown in formulae (1) and (2), the medium molecular masses (in weight) of polymers that can be used, corresponding to the polymerization degrees indicated above, are between 500 and 25,000, preferably between 800 and 5,000 and best from 1,000 to 2,000.
In the polymers described, 1 or 2 hydrogen atoms in the --NHOH group an be replaced by alkylic or arylic radicals, specially alkyls in C1 to C6, by phenyls, or by alkylaryls. It is possible thus to have, for example, polymers of the type ##STR4## wherein R can be --CH3, --C3 H7, --C6 H13, --C6 H5, etc.
Admitting that the effects of hydroxamic polymers on muds, specially drilling muds, are known already (patent application No. 82 16317), it is very surprising that said polymers act in the sense of impeding the sedimentation of clays; it is known in effect that their addition to a drilling mud results in a decrease of the viscosity of the mud; a sedimentation is easier according as the viscosity of the dispersant medium is weak; therefore, it would have been possible to expect that the presence of hydroxamic polymers in a more or less clayey river water led, on the contrary, to a marked sedimentation of the clays. What is observed when hydroxamic polymers are introduced in the water is on the contrary a very marked hindrance of the deposit. The prevailing factor in this case is the non-conglomeration of particles, and therefore the decrease of the sedimentation speed thereof by virtue of the Stokes law.
The examples that follow serve to illustrate the invention without limiting it.
There has been used for these examples distilled water in which a desired amount of clay has been suspended in the following manner. The clay was added to 500 ml water and dispersed by centrifuge for 1 minute; the suspension obtained was preserved in an Erlenmeyer flask; it was homogenized before allowing it to decant for 1 hour. The supernatant liquid is then slowly tapped with a glass rod so as not to raise the clay deposited at the bottom.
For the purpose of analysis, 500 ml of the suspension thus tapped were placed in a 800 ml beaker; the adjuvant to be studied was added and it was homogenized for a few minutes. The beaker, covered with a sheet of aluminum foil, was then placed in a ventilated oven at 65° C. for 45 minutes. The suspension was then poured in a 500 ml test tube and allowed to decant standing for 24 hours or 24 h, 48 h and 72 h. After the desired time, 50 ml were drawn with the point of the syringe on the 200 ml mark of the test tube. The amount of clay in suspension was then determined in a turbidimeter. For this, there are prepared a certain number of dilutions the turbidity of which is measured in Jackson units in the colorimeter HACH DR; the Jackson units are converted to mg of clay per liter. The initial concentration of clay in the suspension is determined by dry matter.
In the examples that use the hydroxamic polymers according to the invention, the latter derive from polyacrylamide and contain still a certain percent of amide groups.
The tables of results indicate in abbreviations:
M: the molecular weight of the polymer used;
hx % rate: the rate % of replacement of the amide groups of the starting polymer by the hydroxamic groups;
PHA mg/l: content of the polymer added to the clayey water;
Ao : clay concentration in mg/l in the suspension at the time 0;
A24 A48 or A72 : clay concentration in mg/l in the suspension after the time indicated (24 h, 48 h, or 72 h);
A24 /Ao %: degree of inhibition of the sedimentation, that is, % of initial clay remaining after the time of duration of the test.
In this series of tests the work has been carried out during 24 h of decantation with different molar weights of the polymer obtained from polyacrylamide; the rates hx of replacement of amidic groups by hydroxamic groups have also been varied; in addition, different concentrations of polymers of the treated water have been tested in Examples 2 to 12.
Examples 13 to 16 give the results obtained with an adjuvant known from the prior art, methylene bisnaphthalene sodium sulfonate, applied to the same clayey water used in Examples 8 to 12. The results have all been set forth in table I. It follows that there can be obtained with the use of the invention a higher degree of inhibition than was known in the prior art: in fact, according to Example 5 it is possible to arrive at maintaining in suspension about 60% of initial clay by dissolving only 1 mg of a hydroxamic polymer per liter of water, while the maximum sedimentation-inhibiting effect with the methylene bis-naphthalene sodium sulfonate does not even reach 20% for 80 mg of adjuvant per liter of water (see Example 16).
Other interesting information can be drawn from table I on the following page.
TABLE I______________________________________ M hr %Rate mg/lPHA Ao A24 ##STR5##______________________________________1 -- -- 0 420 50 11.92 40,000 27 1 " 52 12.33 24,400 32 1 " 65 15.54 7,500 34 " " 175 41.65 1,500 31 " " 250 59.56 7,500 6 " " 80 19.07 1,500 " " " 125 29.78 -- -- 0 270 0 09 1,500 55 1 " 75 27.710 " " 2 " 94 34.811 " " 10 " 66 24.412 " " 20 " 25 9.2Methylene bis-naphthalenesodium sulfonate mg/l13 1,500 55 10 270 21 7.814 " " 20 " 29 10.815 " " 40 " 36 13.316 " " 80 " 52 19.2______________________________________
It is seen in fact that for a substantially equal hydroxamic hx % rate, the inhibition degree improves as the molecular weight M of the polymer used is slighter; Examples 2 to 5 show that this result passes from 12.3 to 59.5% while M varies from 40,000 to 1,500. Other tests not indicated on the table lead to an inhibition of 60.5% when M equals 800 with hx=32%. For the same clayey water the comparison of Example 4 with Example 6 indicates the important of the hx: it is in fact observed that passing from hx%=6 to hx=34, (A24 /Ao)% changes from 19 to 41.6.
An important peculiarlity of the invention is illustrated by Examples 9 to 12 that show that not only is there no interest whatever in increasing too much the concentration of adjuvant in the clayey water but that this concentration must be weak and comprised within certain limits to obtain a maximum effect.
It has thus been established that the concentrations of adjuvant according to the invention must be comprised between 0.5 and 10 mg/l and preferably between 1 and 5 mg/l or between 0.1 and 5×10-6 macromoles/l.
Tests similar to the preceding ones have been carried out with a water containing in suspension 1,540 mg/l clay (Ao). The hydroxamic polymer obtained from polyacrylamide has a molecular weight M=5 100; it is used in a concentration of 1 mg/l, that is, 2×10-7 macromoles per liter. The decantations and analyses have been made after 24 h, 48 h and 72 h, which respectively leads to the concentrations A24, A48, A72 of table II that follows.
TABLE II______________________________________M = 5 100 Ao = 1 540 mg/l Concen. PHA = 1 mg/l No. 17 18 19 20______________________________________ControlPHA 0 mg/lRate hour % -- 7 20 33A24 mg/l 130 160 460 740A24 /Ao % 8.4% 10.4% 29.8% 48%A48 mg/l 50 85 250 370A48 /Ao % 3.2% 5.5% 16.2% 24%A72 mg/l 40 50 170 270A72 /Ao % 2.6% 3.2% 11% 17.5%______________________________________
Example 17 corresponds to the test without any adjuvant: it leads to very low percents of remaining clay. The improvement is not too great in Example 18 because the hydroxamic rate hx is weak, 7%. On the other hand, the results are already interesting in Example 19 where hx=20%: here the inhibition degree of the sedimentation is approximate to 30% after 24 h and it still remains at 11% after 72 h.
Example 20 confirms the results of the preceding table in the sense that an hx above 30 leads to excellent results: there are still 48% of initial clay in the water after 24 h and 17.5% after 72 h, that is, more than remains after 24 h with 40 mg/l of methylene bis-naphthalene sodium sulfonate.
