Bath's hot spot to treat your dad on Father's Day
Posted: June 13, 2012|
Bath's popular tourist attraction the Thermae Bath Spa has become a surprise choice in the Top Ten Places to treat dad this Father's Day.
Not so surprisingly, sporting venues and historical sites feature highly with the home of football, Wembley Stadium, coming out on top.
The Thermae Bath Spa has proved a haven for the modern man, taking the number eight spot on the top ten list compiled by consumer review website Qype.
Bath's natural hot springs have become an unlikely hit with dads willing to indulge themselves with a spot of pampering in the contemporary surroundings and traditional Georgian architectural of the spa which was opened in 2006 after extensive renovation.
Ahead of the spa are more "manly" views such as Wimbledon and Arundel Castle.
Would you treat your dad to a day at the Spa or Wembley Stadium?
Qype's Top Ten Places to treat dad this Father's Day
1. Wembley Stadium, London
2. All England Lawn Tennis & Croquet Club – Wimbledon, London
3. Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh, Edinburgh
4. Somerset House, London
5. Bloomsbury Bowling, London
6. Arundel Castle, West Sussex
7. Millennium Stadium, Cardiff
8. Thermae Bath Spa, Bath
9. Calton Hill, Edinburgh
10. Castle Climbing Centre, London

Have we met?
Since January, Skokie Public Library's previous School Services Liaison, Susan Carlton, has been leading the Library's outreach team in an innovative new role as the Community Engagement Manager. As a part of this department, I have been given the exciting opportunity to become the Library's School Services Librarian.
Before pursuing Library Science, I spent a year teaching fourth grade at a bilingual school in Central America. After my return to Illinois in 2010, I began working in the Youth Computer Lab at Skokie Public Library. I was immediately impressed by the Library and knew that I wanted to be a part of the significant role it was playing in the community. I decided to attend Dominican University's Graduate School of Library Science while I worked in Youth Services at public libraries in Arlington Heights, Oak Park and Skokie. After completing my MLIS, I began as a Youth Librarian at Skokie Public Library and have really enjoyed working in the richly diverse Skokie community. I am looking forward to developing strong and thriving relationships with the local schools and using Library Links as a great tool for our collaboration!

…you drop part of your credit hours:
all or part of your financial aid may be reduced or canceled;
you will enter repayment if you are less than half-time when your grace period expires (grace period is 6 months after the date your dropped below half-time);
your future eligibility for financial aid may be jeopardized if you do not meet the Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) requirements for Financial Aid or maintain Good Academic Standing as defined in the Catalog;
your credit report may be adversely affected if any late payments are reported on balances due from your changes; and may cause higher loan debt aggregates and increase your interest and repayment period.
…you drop all of your credit hours and withdraw from the program:
you may be required to repay all or part of the financial aid disbursed for the term in which you withdraw if you don't complete more than 60% of the term;
you will have to repay any unearned financial aid you have received according to the Return of Title IV Funds guidelines;

Awards may be adjusted due to changes in financial circumstances; award eligibility; and/or availability of federal funding.
Forest Institute of Professional Psychology will follow the refund policy of The U.S. Department of Education for federal financial aid programs. When a student withdraws from or stops attending all classes in the first 60% of a term, federal regulations require that the college calculate the percentage and amount of federal financial aid the student did not "earn" by their attendance and return those funds to the federal programs. Software provided by the Department of Education will be used to determine the calculations for earned and unearned Title IV eligibility. For example, if a student withdraws after attending only 30% of the term, then that student is only entitled to 30% of his federal financial aid. Students who attend classes after the 60% point in the term are considered to have earned all federal funds.
If a student received more federal financial aid than the amount earned, Forest Institute is required to return the unearned funds to the U. S. Department of Education. Students need to be aware that if their unearned federal assistance was used to pay tuition, fees, and miscellaneous charges, they may now owe the Institute for the portion of the charges that were previously covered by the unearned portion of their federal financial aid.
Students who owe an outstanding balance to the U.S. Department of Education will be notified of any outstanding balances owed within 30 days of the date that they withdrew from all of their classes, or 30 days from the date the Institute learned that they were not attending all of their classes. The students will then have 45 days to repay the overpayments or to reach satisfactory repayment arrangements with the Institute or the U.S. Department of Education. If a student does not repay the overpayment or make satisfactory arrangements within the 45 days, he/she will be considered to have a federal financial aid overawed, and the student's account will be referred to the U.S. Department of Education for collection. Students will not be eligible for federal financial aid at any educational institution until the overawed has been cleared.

Amazing how many cameras they had going and War-whore's concept of multi media that there is really no good video of this band when they were in their prime.
Thanks Jambase for giving this band some props
The Black Crowes do a real nice cover of "O Sweet Nuthin'" on their new dvd with Rich taking the lead vocals and Luther tearing it up. Definately check it out.
Sadly, this most important slice of music history will go lost on most jambasers.
Just got the deluxe edition of 'Loaded'.
Surely one of the more interesting CD's any band has ever gifted our ears.
very well may be the best band ever.
"Just got the deluxe edition of 'Loaded'.
Surely one of the more interesting CD's any band has ever gifted our ears."
Loaded, while a great album, is easily their most UNinteresting release. It's Lou's pop album, which is wonderful, but far from anything I'd refer to as "interesting." If you're looking for interesting music and true trips into uncharted waters, though, you'd be better served with a copy of White Light/White Heat or the two albums it's sandwiched between.

Surely one of the more interesting CD's any band has ever gifted our ears.
.....actually, i would guess that most jambasers are pretty familiar with 'loaded'.......if for no other reason than the fact that phish performed it for halloween.
VU with Nico is my ultimate lazy-sunday-morning-sitting-around-the-house-drinking-coffee album.
The Velvet Underground are a case study of cool. The auditory heartbeat for one of the most influential artistic epicenters last century, they cut their teeth as the house band for Warhol's Factory. The Cale era incorporated sonic progression with his classically trained instrumental skills which captured gritty the lower side in unbelievable light. However, Yule brought a more traditional sound but played an integral part in unleashing one of the finest bootleg examples for a band regionally tuning their instruments. At End Cole Ave, now Javier's, in Dallas Oct 1969 they found themselves far removed from the psychedelic powder keg of Cali and the Northeast and tapped into the bluesy country tinged roots of the South. Then like a heavy hand of cheyenne seasoned the sound of successive evenings. My life was saved by Rock n Roll.

With the revival of the Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber musical ending its run Jan. 26 at the Marquis Theatre, we offer another look (and listen) to several versions of the musical's best-known song, "Don't Cry for Me Argentina."

Sony's dual-screen Tablet P Honeycomb tablet gets an FCC tear down
Sony's Tablet P Android tablet has yet to made its debut in the United States, but thanks to the FCC we're now able to take a quick look inside the device. Recently published FCC internal photos of the Tablet P show the dual-screen device getting taken apart, with special attention paid to the Tablet P's wireless components.
You can see that much of the Tablet P's lower half is consumed by the device's battery. We don't get a good look at the Tablet P's main board, but you can see how Sony crammed the device's WWAN and WiFi components into the Tablet P's small upper half. FCC photos also show the Tablet P's Ericsson WWAN card with its shielding removed, exposing Micron and ST Ericsson processors.
Take a look at the full gallery below. You can also see our hands-on with the device here.

had one when we were young but actually never used it ... so we just stick with the old pot/stove interface.

I just pop mine in the microwave--no air popper required (though it would be easier for popping large quantities & I do miss owning one).

All you need is a big heavy pot with a solid lid...

My all time favorite snack is popcorn. Thought about getting a popcorn maker but they take up valuable counter space. I just use pot on my stove top with a little vegetable oil. Taste great no salt or butter needed.
xxstardust 4 years
My dad bought my mom an air popper one year as a gift, because we made popcorn 2-3 nights a week on the stovetop in our house. I think she's used it, like, twice - it just doesn't have the same flavor. And microwave popcorn? blehhhhh =[
Soniabonya 4 years
Growing up as a child my family had one. I barely remember it, but do know it was a large looking machine. Loved the air popped popcorn at home. Hmmm. must learn how to do the stove top method.
bluebellknoll 4 years
I own an air-popper but I don't think I've used it in at least 10 years. I use the microwave kind instead. But I think the most flavorful popcorn is made on the stovetop.
ticamorena 4 years
yes, two, and have broken them both. i now just cook it oil-free in a non-stick pot though sometimes i really crave that softer, airy texture of air-popped popcorn.
amber512 4 years
Even when I could properly digest popcorn I didn't have one. I was eating it fairly regularly, but enjoyed Pop Secret's 100-calorie bags.
courtneyd 4 years
I own an air popper, and love it. I use it multiple times a week. Sometimes I add butter, but I also like to do other toppings like hot sauce, harissa, nori and wasabi powder, so it's great to not have the added oil if I want a healthier snack. It tastes so much better than the microwave bag stuff, and I haven't had much luck making popcorn on the stovetop. I do something that makes mine come out soggy.
Susannah-Chen 4 years
I'm so afraid of burning kernels that I'm always the person who pulls out the popcorn 2 seconds prematurely. I'd rather have a handful of unpopped kernels than a whole bag of burnt popcorn!
Becky-Kirsch 4 years
It seems silly to own one now, but when I was growing up I used to get SO excited when my dad whip out the popcorn maker (except when he burned the kernels).
4 years
I found a popcorn popper at Walgreens for about $6 so it seemed worth it. I pick up the kernals at the farmers market along with butter, and I grate some cheese with herbs. Sometimes I'll brown the butter or add truffle salt.
4 years
You don't need a separate popcorn maker. Just use a large, deep pot with a lid. Put on some oven mitts and shake the pan every so often. I do it all the time.
BloodyFuFu 4 years
I am a popcorn fanatic. I have actually burned out popcorn machines. I love it for a healthy snack, sometimes with a little white cheddar powder but usually just lightly salted. I have the Cuisinart one with the popcorn bowl and I love it. It really is a highly addictive snack for me.

A couple year's ago, my aunt bought one for my grandpa for Christmas. I don't think he has ever used it.

Where's the "no, but I had one growing up" option? I did, and I loooooved it. Almost wants to make me buy one now!
RoaringSilence 4 years
I own one because my husband brought it into the household. Yes, it's a single use appliance, but we do use it quite often. I don't know if I'd buy a new one if it broke, though. We always put butter on our popcorn (shame, shame, I know), so I would probably just as well make it in a saucepan with some oil on the bottom. Same result, and takes about the same time.

Penn Badgley gets my vote for most surprising occupier. Perhaps he's worried about finding a job post-"Gossip Girl"? Or maybe he's like me and recognizes that having a job he loves and that pays him well is becoming too much of a rarity. Regardless, perhaps his involvement will encourage the Teen Vogue set to ask their parents what's up.

Anna voices Courtney, Norman's big sister, who's a cheerleader. I added some stills with her character in the gallery already:
The first official trailer of "What to Expect When You're Expecting" is finally here! It really looks like a cute movie and I really like to see Anna and Chace Crawford as a couple. Hope the stills will come out soon.

text: I went to see UCLA play Indiana when he was in college. By the time we made it to campus I had to pee like nobody's business. The downstairs part of Pauly was open, so I went in looking for a bathroom. I opened a door and it was Sigi & the team, very seriously having their pregame talk. I was desperate, so I said "is there a bathroom around here?" Frankie, in his total "hey, brah" demeanor goes "sorry, brah, there aren't any bathrooms down here." With a look on his face like "yeah, it sucks." I'm sure there are bathrooms down there somewhere, but he was so funny - so lighthearted in the midst of me breaking into Sigi's very serious talk, it was pretty cool. (I ended up finding a dark spot along the side of Pauly and going there - much more hallowed ground than anything Donovan peed on in Mex.)

Hello everyone.
I am hoping someone out there can help me with a couple of questions I have with managing my starter.
Finally, after 2 months (I nearly gave up!!) my starter is working as I expect and I have managed to produce a sourdough bread I am more than happy with.
My starter finally doubled every 24 hours and I managed to organise my mixing and overnight time in the fridge, so that I could cook the bread first thing in the morning. However, my problem is that the starter has sudeenly started doubling in about 10 hours, which puts my system out of whack.
I have fed the starter twice daily so that I will have it ready at 3 pm. This is a bit of a waste of flour! Can I refrigerate the starter for a few hours to slow it down or will this make it not so active?
Also, if I want to make bread every second day starting at 3 pm, what is the best way to deal with the starter so I am not feeding it tice a day?
Many thanks in advance for any advice given,
Login or Signup to add your comment.
Using temperature I think would be the easiest way to control the starter. The warmer the starter is the more active the bacteria and yeast will be. You can experiment with putting them in the fridge for a few hours but you will have to figure out what timing is going to work for you.
"He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain what he cannot lose." Jim Elliot
Do you use 50% whole wheat in your starter? If not, try (in another jar) to add say 10% at a time and see if it helps to moderate it. It should slow your starter down. Other possibilities; Are you placing your starter on the same shelf in your Frig.? The higher the shelf, the higher the temp. It may be enough to make the difference.
Some bakers use a small amount of salt to moderate it. I've never tried it.

FT. LAUDERDALE (CFP) -- When the USF-FAU game was scheduled, Florida Atlantic officials knew it would bring an opportunity to showcase two of the state's newer programs. There is no way they could have known that the Bulls would be bringing a team ranked in the top ten, and a national television audience watching on ESPN-U.
For FAU, the game was almost a rousing success. For USF, it was nearly a certifiable disaster. The Owls pushed the Bulls to the edge before losing 35-23 in front of a packed house at Lockhart Stadium.
FAU quarterback Rusty Smith threw for 259 yards and three touchdowns with just one interception against a South Florida defense that, a week earlier, limited West Virginia to just one touchdown. The Owls ran for more than 150 yards. In the end, USF barely outgained FAU 424-411.
When FAU turned the ball over on downs with 1:28 left in the game, the Owls only trailed 28-23. The Bulls padded the final margin on Benjamin Williams' 9-yard run with 29 seconds remaining.
Were it not for three missed field goals from makeable distances, and a questionable kick-catch interference penalty, this game may have been added to the slew of upsets occurring over the past two weekends.
For the second week in a row, USF had three turnovers in the first half and could have easily found itself trailing at the mid-way point. FAU, however, botched kicks from 37, 42 and 45 yards. Corey Small's interception, and 28-yard return, of a Matt Grothe pass set FAU up for its initial score late in the first half, a 12-yard pass from Smith to Cortez Gent.
South Florida broke the 7-7 halftime tie on the opening drive of the second half, marching 76 yards on 9 plays in less than three minutes. Williams scored from 9 yards out and USF looked like it would take command of the game.
Rusty Smith had other thoughts.
The Owl quarterback needed just 2:12 to re-tie the game at 14-all on Jason Harmon's 5-yard touchdown reception. Running back Willie Rose carried three times for 32 yards on the drive.
After an exchange of punts, USF went back on top 21-14 when quarterback Matt Grothe shedded several would-be tacklers on a spectacular 32-yard run halfway through the third quarter.
FAU trimmed the deficit to 21-17 with a 22-yard field goal on the next series. Harmon displayed his athleticism on the drive when he snagged a pass over the middle, immediately spun from the grasp of a Bulls' defender, leapt over another, and then spun away from other pursuers for a 32-yard gain before he was finally corralled at the USF 30-yard line.
The Houdini-like performance would not be the last amazing play in the game.
USF extended its lead when Williams started left, reversed direction and weaved his way through defenders at the line of scrimmage, then cut to the sideline and raced 54 yards for the score. The effort gave USF a 28-17 cushion with 9:54 remaining to be played.
Williams' exhilarating run came just one play after FAU thought it had recovered a fumbled punt return by USF at the Bulls' 20-yard line. However, the Owls were flagged for running into the punt returner before he could catch the ball, though replays clearly showed the contact was from his own team mate.
Even that series of unfortunate events didn't zap the stubborn Owls. FAU immediately responded with an 80-yard drive, capped by Smith's 47-yard pass to Di'Ivory Edgecomb that closed the gap to 28-23 with 6:41 still left in the game.
FAU forced USF to punt twice in the final minutes but failed to muster an offensive threat on either occasion.
Grothe and Williams combined for most of USF's offense. Grothe had 122 yards passing and 120 yards rushing. Williams finished with 186 yards and 3 touchdowns on 25 carries.

The Fears Men Live By, by Selma Hirsh
A Handbook on Prejudice
by Dennis H. Wrong
The Fears Men Live By. By Selma Hirsh. Harper. 164 pp. $2.75.
Anti-Semitism may very well be endemic to rapidly changing industrial societies which remain at least nominally Christian in outlook. Yet its utility as a political weapon has diminished greatly since World War II. Even in a country as culturally and socially homogeneous as France, Pierre Poujade's anti-Semitic outbursts appear to have hindered rather than helped his movement. And in the United States the sales of Marjorie Morningstar, Look's much publicized article on American Jews, and the hypersensitivity of right-wing demagogues like McCarthy to charges of anti-Semitism are among the signs of the times. Perhaps it is just that, as Richard Hofstadter has put it, standards of hating are rising along with standards of living, so that demagogues eager to win a national following arouse a greater response by attacking groups that are considerably more powerful than ethnic or religious minorities, such as Harvard University, the Ford Foundation, and the State Department.
Mrs. Hirsh's book is essentially a popularization of the five-volume "Studies in Prejudice" series, sponsored by the American Jewish Committee, which was conceived and written just after the war at a time when many assumptions about American society that now appear questionable were widely held. She makes greatest use of the findings of The Authoritarian Personality by T. W. Adorno, Else Frenkel-Brunswik, Daniel J. Levinson, and R. Nevitt Sanford, the longest and most influential volume in the series and in many ways the most contentious. (It was reviewed at length in Commentary in June 1950 by Nathan Glazer, who then discussed it further in March 1954.)
Mrs. Hirsh has tried, however, to adapt her theme to the new climate of opinion. Most of the authors of the "Studies in Prejudice" series kept one eye on Nazi Germany when interpreting their rich material on the psychological roots of ethnic prejudice in America. Their belief in the possible, or even probable, rise of an American fascist movement making a mass appeal to race hatred established the social and historical context for their observations. Mrs. Hirsh has abandoned the neo-Marxist tone of apocalypse that pervaded The Authoritarian Personality, substituting for it the milder and more abstract notion of a conflict in American values between humanitarian altruism and success-striving, between "being good" and "making good." The influence of Margaret Mead, with her tendency to write of "our culture" as if it were a single-hued blanket enveloping everyone, is more evident here than Marx, Freud, or modern sociology. Yet Mrs. Hirsh's theory that "contradictory commandments now so firmly woven into our culture that we hardly know which we are truly to heed" are the source of ethnic prejudice seems even less adequate than the conspiratorial theory of a ruthless American ruling class tacitly encouraging racist demagogy in order to stave off a drive for social reform. Her view that tension between the demands of morality and ambition to rise socially and economically generates ethnic prejudice fails entirely to distinguish between the different situations of sub-groups in the population.
Mrs. Hirsh adds to the topicality of her book by including a chapter on attitudes towards Negroes and a discussion of Communist authoritarianism, a subject completely neglected in the original volumes. The "Studies in Prejudice" series contained much scattered information on anti-Negro attitudes, but its main concern was with anti-Semitism, for good and sufficient theoretical reasons. The support given by all community institutions in the South and parts of the North to racial discrimination makes it much less likely that strongly anti-Negro, as distinct from anti-Semitic, attitudes are characteristic of people with a particular personality structure suffering definable neurotic disturbances. Mrs. Hirsh ably reviews the sexual fears, the psychic mechanisms of projection and displacement, and the circular logic of the prejudiced, but most of what she says has long been known and lacks the psychological specificity, the detailed tracing of prejudice to its roots in childhood biography, that was the most illuminating and novel contribution of The Authoritarian Personality.
The trouble with Mrs. Hirsh's book is that she has tried to write a general primer on ethnic intolerance in American society while using material that is representative of a rather specialized psychological approach to the problem. T. W. Adorno and his colleagues themselves repeatedly insisted that their modified psychoanalytic method was by no means capable of dealing with all facets of ethnic prejudice. Thus, along with much skillful summarizing of the parent volume, Mrs. Hirsh includes far too many unintegrated observations on such topics as the economic advantage to the South of a cheap Negro labor supply, the role of law in controlling discriminatory practices, and the connection between prejudice and the Puritan tradition.
Moreover, almost all popular presentations of the psychoanalytic approach to social problems, and a good deal of professional psychoanalytic writing as well, suffer from one major defect: taken together, they explain far too much. Prejudice, Communist sympathies, crime, alcoholism, and wife-beating are all shown to be symptoms of basic anxiety, self-hatred, and childhood misery. If people guilty of these vices are "neurotic," the writer is often led to imply, and sometimes actually to assert, that people who lack the particular symptom he is concerned with are "normal." The unconvincing attempt by the authors of The Authoritarian Personality to delineate a "democratic personality" free from ethnic intolerance and mentally healthy is a case in point. Intense prejudice may be a symptom of personal neurosis, but its absence certainly does not justify the assumption of a hypothetical unprejudiced "normal" personality type.1
In spite of their persistent tendency to make a liberal political outlook almost a criterion of mental health, Adorno and his collaborators occasionally recognize this, as does Mrs. Hirsh, who is aware of the trenchant criticisms that have been directed at the original research. Political liberals free of the slightest taint of ethnic prejudice may, after all, take to drink out of neurotic motives, just as people with strong hearts may suffer from ailments of the liver.
Apart from the unsatisfactory effort to identify and sanctify a non-neurotic "democratic personality," little attempt is made in the "Studies in Prejudice" series to describe those personality types, whether neurotic or normal, that are not predisposed to ethnic intolerance. An exception may be found in one of the shorter volumes of the series: Anti-Semitism and Emotional Disorder, by Nathan W. Ackerman and Marie Jahoda. They write, after enumerating the psychiatric symptoms displayed by anti-Semites: "In this broad range of diagnosis and vague symptoms . . . one type of disturbance becomes conspicuous through its absence. None of the cases manifested a genuine, deep depression."
It is probably too much to expect a frankly popular book to exhibit such subtleties of psychological characterization. The effort to present broad conclusions shorn of the detail in which they were embedded in the "Studies in Prejudice" volumes inevitably highlights weaknesses inherent in all psychoanalytic interpretations of social facts.

Editorial: Choosing to do nothing
Our U.S. senators had a chance Wednesday to do the least they could.
Instead, they did even less.
Maybe it was craven political pragmatism. Perhaps it was irrational fear of the power of the National Rifle Association. Or maybe it was the much more rational fear of losing contributions from the NRA next year.
Regardless of the reason, Senate Republicans – including North Carolina's Richard Burr - banded with several rural-state Democrats to vote down gun-control legislation proposed by Democrat Joe Manchin of West Virginia and Republican Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania that would have provided tighter background checks for buyers and banned assault weapons.
The Senate also did away with a proposed ban on high-capacity ammunition magazines.
Burr's vote came as no surprise. On Wednesday, The Herald-Sun's Gregory Childress reported that Triangle mayors – including Bill Bell from Durham and Mark Kleinschmidt from Chapel Hill – tried once more to lobby Burr and Democrat Kay Hagan to the cause of improved background checks. Burr made his position clear.
"After reviewing the current text of the Manchin-Toomey proposal, I have numerous Second Amendment due process and privacy concerns that make the legislation too problematic for it to ever become law," Burr said.
Hagan supported expanded background checks and voted in favor of the doomed legislation, but stopped short of wanting a ban on assault weapons or high-capacity ammo magazines.
"I am concerned that amendments banning assault weapons and high-capacity magazines could infringe on the rights of lawful gun owners, and I will not support such measures," she said.
President Barack Obama called the outcome "shameful." And, no matter what patriotic face opponents try to put on their vote, the president is correct.
Senators could have done something. It wouldn't be much. It wouldn't prevent aberrations like Newtown. Nothing could. We know that.
But it might have helped prevent some more common crimes, such as domestic violence, without infringing on Second Amendment rights.
They had a chance to do the least they could.
Instead, they did even less.
We think Gabrielle Giffords, the former Arizona representative who survived a mass shooting in Tucson, put it best in her op-ed piece in The New York Times after Wednesday's vote:
"They looked at these most benign and practical of solutions, offered by moderates from each party, and then they looked over their shoulder at the powerful, shadowy gun lobby – and brought shame on themselves and our government itself by choosing to do nothing."

Irene Dunne, supposedly dead, returns after being gone for years to find husband Cary Grant remarried and on his honeymoon. When she goes to the hotel and Grant sees her, his new wife is forgotten about. But, the couple does have other problems, such as Grant finding out that while Dunne was stranded on an island in the middle of nowhere, she was not alone. Remade in 1963 as Move Over, Darling with Doris Day and James Garner, who can't surpass the superb performances of the Grant/Dunne team. This is the second of three pairings with Dunne and Grant (the first being 1937's social comedy The Awful Truth and the last was 1941's tear-jerker Penny Serenade). Of all three films, this one, I feel, gives off the most laughs and chemistry between the two stars.

When I took screenwriting classes in college, I always wondered if I would make it in Hollywood. One of the reasons I never did is that I do not write like Woody Allen. I'm not always a fan of Allen…most of his recent films have been so-so comedies (with the exception of the unique Melinda and Melinda), but Match Point is one of the best films I've ever seen, and most assuredly the best film of 2005, in my opinion. Why? How about this…not a word is out of place and there is nothing extra that should be in the film and nothing that shouldn't. It's a perfectly constructed film all the way around, I attest solely to Allen's writing. The actors are good in their roles but I wouldn't say that's what "made" the film for me. Allen just simply has a way of working a story so it seems so easy and so perfect at the same time. It is a neat, clean circle…the story starts off with one thread and that thread runs through the entire film but in a subtle way until the ending, when you realized, "OH, I get it." The story revolves around a young tennis pro who gets a job at an upper class athletic club and soon makes friends with one of the members…an affluent young man who has both a pretty, demure sister and a beautiful, sultry fiancée. The tennis pro falls for the sister but really falls hard for the fiancée. What happens from there leads to a complex, intricate series of events that keep the audience guessing at every turn. The ending, unlike most films I've seen recently, will not disappoint or ruin the masterfulness of this film. What happens right up to the last second will only increase how strong this film is…which is proof of Allen's genius.
OK—everyone has seen it. Everyone knows the story. Some people can even recite the dialogue (I would have to confess, I'm in this category). When you get right down to it, this is a great movie. Sad thing is that it gets so over-watched around the holiday season that many people have the "not again" mentality. PLEASE don't disregard this movie just because it has been overplayed, colorized and basically abused. What director Frank Capra does here is capture a little slice of Americana—something that Capra excelled in. Unlike Capra's other Americana films (most notably Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, Meet John Doe, and Mr. Deeds Goes to Town), this one has a dark edge—a hardness that makes us think for a second that maybe America is not all that it's cracked up to be. That is where Jimmy Stewart's acting genius kicks in. His portrayal of the lowly, always-disappointed George Bailey has the audience rooting him on, even when he's at his most weak. I mean, here is Bailey, standing by a bridge, looking down into the icy waters of the river, waiting for the perfect moment to jump. Does anyone really believe he will? No—not with the genuine way Stewart breathes life into Bailey. No one with that much compassion in their heart could really ever end it all? But, that's why Stewart is perfect as Bailey. He does give Capra a "hard" edge, all while keeping the film, at its core, a feel-good film…one that can and should be enjoyed ANY time of year, not just in the holiday season.
For the first time, Woody Allen acting in one of his movies did not annoy me so much that the temptation to turn the film off was almost irresistible. He does not choose, in Husbands and Wives, to play someone who is more neurotic than anyone else in Manhattan. That is not the ONLY reason I enjoyed this film. It is a strikingly open and honest film about relationships. It doesn't hold anything back and is not afraid to realistically show the anatomy of a break-up, midlife relationship malaise, and the frantic energy of a new relationship. In hindsight (this film is from 1992), it's a strong subject matter for Allen, who has a young college student fall for his middle-aged professor character. It was not long after this film that Allen, in reality…NOT in the movies, fell in love with his adopted step-daughter. But, leaving that alone, he does an excellent job of being as honest as he can be in this film…as an actor AND as a director. His scenes with Juliette Lewis (the young girl that plays the smitten college student) are filled with frank talk…not with silly dribble that many May-September screen romances sometimes fall for. The other characters' relationship dialogue is just as true as Allen's. No one walks away into the sunset in this one. It's brutal at times, but so is life and love. Right?
The teaming of the comedy team of Katherine Hepburn, Cary Grant, and director George Cukor leads to comic mayhem as a bright rich girl steals her sister's fiancée, a struggling young lawyer. Not the most famous of the Grant/Hepburn/Cukor pairings (The Philadelphia Story would have to take that prize) but I feel it's the best. The comedy has a quirky, strange quality that makes it unconventional, which might be why it was not initially received as a classic, but it's not too strange to miss this wonderful film.
Did you ever look for something and it's not where you remember putting it but the next time you look, it's there? Sure, it happens to all of us occasionally and we think "I'm losing my mind." In a second or two, that thought is replaced with something else and we forget about our minor brain lapse. But, what if things like that would continue to happen? What if we kept seeing things and hearing thing and doubting our sanity…little occurrences at first and then major things like losing pieces of jewelry and misplacing practically everything…? Well, Ingrid Bergman in Gaslight experiences all of these things plus more. Her husband, played with cruel intensity by Charles Boyer, might or might not be "helping" her out in the insanity department. Regardless, he becomes less and less sympathetic with her as she slips more and more out of reality. The audience never really knows whether Bergman is insane or not. I mean she hears footsteps above her…and we hear them too…but it's not until the end until the plot is uncovered. Director George Cukor directs this so passionately that at times it has the feel of a horror film. When the light from the gaslights dims, the look on Bergman's face is pure terror…as if she was being tortured. And…as you come to find out…she is. But how…and by whom????
The film that forced married men to think twice before straying…as well as reviving Michael Douglas' acting career…is a top-notch thriller. It got a lot of attention when it came out in 1987 because of its graphic violence and (especially) sexuality. Sometimes, when you strip the controversy from a film, what you're left with is a movie that really was not worth all of the attention. I would say that is not true here…this is a great film that knows how to convey fear to the audience. Never would I say something is Hitchcockian (I believe that NOTHING will ever be worthy of that label since the Master of Suspense was, just that, a Master…the one and only), but I think that IF Hitchcock would have been working in 1987, he might have made a film in this same vein. The vein being a continual threat of menacing terror that keeps growing and growing until it just cannot do anything else other than explode! So, watch this one for the thrills…not for the attention it got when it came out. And, whatever you do, please do not call it Hitchcockian. If necessary…maybe pseudo-Hitchcockian, or semi-Hitchcockian? But, only if necessary!
This is one funny film. It is not exactly politically correct and it is also not a perfect film (I just don't like the son's character) but all-in-all, it will make you laugh (most likely). A remake of La Cage Aux Folles, here director Mike Nichols weaves a comic web of intrigue, bawdiness, love, sex and scandal…all set in South Beach, Miami…one of the playgrounds of the world. Even though there is a great cast here including Gene Hackman and Dianne Wiest, Robin Williams and Nathan Lane steal the show as gay lovers who own, manage (Williams) and perform in (Lane) a South Beach nightclub. Enter Hackman and Wiest as ultra-conservative parents of young lady who wants to marry Williams' son. The fact that Hackman is a Republican senator involved in a sex scandal is not helping him feel more charitable. What happens? Well, you just have to watch and find out. But, I warn you, get your funny bone tuned!
The post Pillow Talk 1960s romantic comedies could be summed up in two words: Doris Day. The country was heading into a total transformation but good old Doris was trying her best to keep the American public firmly planted in the 1940s and 1950s, which is when romantic comedies like this shined and didn't seem as tarnished. Don't get me wrong…I love Doris Day. I can belt out "Que Sera Sera" in the shower with the best of 'um (you're going to have to take my word for it). But, by the mid-1960s, her clean image as the "good" girl was wearing a little thin. This film (one of her two pairings with co-star James Garner) is no exception. Garner (as Day's husband) seems like a caveman in this film, always barking that his wife is not home since she's out working! The horror!!!! But, all kidding aside, this would have to be one of my most guilty pleasures. I used to say that about Pillow Talk, but at least that film won an Oscar! This one didn't come close but it's just as much fun and just as sweet. The plot is silly and the dialogue is very outdated by today's standards (or even by the mid-1960s standards) but it's just a fun film to watch. Any film that has a pool explode into a yard-full of suds can't be half bad, right?

The governor of German state Hesse, where GM's Opel is based, has come out in support of Magna's bid for the automaker.
"I think there is a certain ranking, in which the offer from the Magna group is certainly the one that is closest to the hopes and wishes of, I think, many in German politics but also among employees," Governor Roland Koch said on Deutschlandfunk radio.
Magna is up against Italian automaker Fiat, which hopes to acquire Opel and Vauxhall to create the world's second-largest automaker behind Toyota, and a New York-based buyout firm called Ripplewood Holdings. Very few details of the bids submitted by the three companies vying for Opel have been released.
According to Reuters, Magna's plan would divvy up ownership between Opel and "Russian partners" (35 percent each), Magna (20 percent) and employees of the company (10 percent). Magna co-CEO Siegfried Wolf also said that the company would keep all four of Opel's German-based plants, but couldn't promise the same for plants in England and Antwerp.
Both German politicians and Opel workers have been critical of Fiat's bid, despite Fiat CEO Sergio Marchionne's assurances. At issue are the possible job cuts that could accompany a Fiat takeover. While Opel union officials had estimated the cuts could number up to 18,000, Marchionne has said the cuts would be less than 10,000, and would not be concentrated in any one area of Europe.
Still, Fiat's bid has failed to gain support.
Koch said that "there is a very interesting offer from a financial investor with the Ripplewood group and certainly some... are a little disappointed that Fiat's offer is a very long way from what one perhaps hoped for in some places."
"The German government has three concepts; we are evaluating these concepts internally, but we will not participate right now in public speculation and evaluations," German Economy Ministry spokesman Steffen Moritz said.
GM must ultimately decide who Opel's investor will be, but the German government will decide if state funds will be used for financing the deal.

(Millington, TN) Super Chevy Weekend at the Memphis International Raceway turned into a super problem on Saturday.
A parking lot full of cars was engulfed in flames around 4:00 p.m.
Several viewers sent WREG pictures of smoke billowing from a grassy parking lot steps away from the racetrack.
Photo Gallery
Kyle Jackson spotted the fire from his seat in the bleachers and took off running.
"By the time we took out I tried to jump the fence and get over here and tried to save what was left of the truck and wasn't no saving it," Jackson said.
There was no saving most of the 22 vehicles torched in the lot.
The flames took over the length of about two football fields.
Vehicles were left gutted, tires melted, and metal from the cars was completely twisted.
"I had GPS, keys to my 4 wheelers, keys to my house, a gun, personal belongings in there," Justin Giles, from Southhaven, said.
Giles' truck was filled with valuables.
"All that stuff is gone," he said.
Item went up in flames and we're left in ashes.
Mostly everyone at the event was left wondering what sparked the fire.
Giles claims a fellow race fanatic is responsible for the big mess.
"A guy got stuck and he was trying to get out – got his exhaust too hot and when he bottomed out the muffler caught the grass on fire," Giles said.
While fire officials believe Giles' claim is a strong possibility, they say the investigation is ongoing and nothing is being ruled out.

One essay, "Art World Racism" presents statistics from NY galleries and museums from around 1980-88, provided BY the institutions themselves and they reveal the obvious prejudice of selection. The racism our everyday life is coated with is the same racism the business of art is coated with. Why wouldn't it be? The exclusionary labels have simply changed. The power structure and associated flunkies have simply learned new terms for old practices. They put new "slaves" like Kara Walker on parade to show everyone how we should act. Same thing, different day for the business of art.
It occurs to me that there are precious few Wisconsin women Modernists. I can think only of Lucia Stern, for that matter. She's really the only woman non-objectivist.

Cambodia tours, hotels must adopt zero tolerance to sex tourism, advocates say
Cooperation is key to combating the sexual exploitation of Cambodian children by foreign visitors as the country's tourism industry expands, children's advocates say.
Private tour operators, guest houses and hotels must demonstrate "zero tolerance" toward child sex offenders, said Jane Kim, a programme adviser for US-based Christian humanitarian group World Vision.
"One of our concerns is that the trend (of child sex tourism) will increase, especially with tourism now spiking in Cambodia," Kim said after a two-day workshop organised by World Vision. "We want to do everything that we can to prevent it from happening."
Cambodia, one of the world's poorest countries, is a haven for foreign pedophiles because of lax law enforcement.
World Vision, with funding from the US State Department, started a campaign last year to scare away foreign sex offenders with a billboard that read, "Abuse a child in this country, go to jail in yours."
The group plans to print the message on the back of helmets and caps to be given to motorcycle taxi drivers who tend to transport many offenders back to their hotels and guest houses, Kim said.
Nearly a million foreigners came to Cambodia last year, according to government statistics.
"If tourists come more and more to Cambodia, it's because it's a new destination, more exotic and it's much cheaper than in Thailand to have sex here," said Guth, a consultant with the United Nations children's agency Unicef who advises the Cambodian government on police training to deal with human trafficking and sexual exploitation.
"They came for gambling and for having sex with underage girls. They didn't come for the (Buddhist) temples," Guth said, referring to the centuries-old Angkor complex in northwestern Cambodia — the country's top tourist attraction.

Ten years ago, we hosted our fourth conference, H2K2, in New York City. Why would a decade old hacker conference be of interest today? For one thing, it's a great time capsule that has never been online before and never available on DVD before now. But mostly, the insights, debates, predictions, and dialogue are pretty amazing and inspirational.
Our keynotes in 2002 were Siva Vaidhyanathan and Aaron McGruder, with extended talks by Jello Biafra and Mark Hosler from Negativland. It was less than a year after 9/11 and the debate was already well underway as to the threats facing our freedom and how best to protect our privacy in the future. Watch discussions on the PATRIOT Act, crypto for the masses, building radio stations, wireless hacking, social engineering, national intelligence, and more.
H2K2 comprises 67 different talks, nearly double what we've already posted from our first three conferences. We've arranged them in the order they were presented, separated into two tracks. Please have fun playing these talks at work, at home, or at any retail outlet that lets you play with computers that are attached to the net. Please help us out by buying DVDs that you're interested in. We can't make them cheaper than $5 each and your support helps propel us forward in getting our entire archive online in a neat and organized manner.

Basketball at UK is legendary but the flip side of that coin is that I think it's the primary reason that UK football has been so bad for so long (Bear Bryant is a perfect example). It's interesting, tolerance for the UK football program's ineptitude is waning as the UK basketball team's struggles grow. I think there is a definite causal relationship there.

JOHNSONBURG – Michael Shuey and the Johnsonburg track and field coaching staff ran the gamut of emotions last Friday during the javelin event at the PIAA Track and Field Championship Meet at Shippensburg University.
In the end, the wonder with the anticipation to victory became joy with the realization of a gold medal for the Johnsonburg senior.
Shuey took the PIAA gold medal in the javelin with a throw of 200-1, a mark he established with his first throw of the competition.
One is the loneliest number.
Elk County Catholic (16-6) dealt previously undefeated Johnsonburg (20-1) a stunning 5-2 defeat Wednesday afternoon at Sandy Beach Recreational Park, ousting the No. 1 seed from the District 9 Class A baseball playoffs in the process. Throughout the season, one run was often times the difference in a game for the Rams; on Wednesday, just one loss spoiled their season and kept them out of both the district title game and the state playoffs.
JOHNSONBURG – Johnsonburg track and field was honored with a banquet Tuesday night at the Johnsonburg Fire Hall.
Varsity head coach Rene Timm expressed appreciation to the athletes for their hard work this season.
"We want to honor all the wonderful athletes we have here," Timm said. "I just want to thank all of my athletes and all of my junior high athletes for being such wonderful, dedicated young men and women. We truly have such a great team and I also give thanks to all the parents that have raised these wonderful athletes. They deserve all the credit in the world."
SHIPPENSBURG – Johnsonburg's Michael Shuey wasn't able to get a gold medal last weekend at the District 9 Track and Field meet.
He made sure to add one on Friday.
Shuey won the PIAA gold medal in the javelin event with a mark of 200-1 during the first day of competition at the PIAA Track and Field Championships held at Shippensburg University.
JOHNSONBURG – A 2-run shot to right field from sophomore starting shortstop Cole Peterson topped off a 6-run fourth inning as the Rams toppled Smethport 10-1 in the quarterfinals of the District 9 Class A baseball playoffs.
The win elevates the Rams' pristine record to 20-0 as No.1 seed Johnsonburg prepares for a semifinal matchup Tuesday at a site and time to be determined against Elk County Catholic, seeded No. 5 with a 15-5 mark. Two of those losses came against the Rams.
The Elk County Catholic Crusader baseball squad fended off a rally by the Port Allegany Gators on Thursday afternoon to record an 18-8 victory in six innings during a quarterfinal contest at Berwind Park in St. Marys.
"We were up 6-1 and they (Port) kept fighting to come back. They had a big inning, and we let them back in the game, and at least our kids stayed focused enough to keep fighting back and keep battling on," said ECC coach Tom Zampogna.
Senior Taylor Schlimm returned from the injury list to throw a no-hitter as the Elk County Catholic Lady Crusader softball team advanced to the District 9-A semifinals with an 8-0 victory over the Port Allegany Lady Gators Thursday afternoon at Benzinger Park.
Schlimm struck out 11 and issued one free pass for ECCHS. Becky Andrus started on the mound for Port Allegany and worked four innings, giving up four hits and walking one. Brooke Roys worked two innings of relief, giving up two hits, walking three and striking out three.
JOHNSONBURG – Barely two weeks removed from a walk-off home run to stun Ridgway, Cameron Grumley struck gold again.
The sophomore starting catcher crushed a Josh Mitchell offering over the center field fence Tuesday in the fifth inning of a first round District 9 Class A playoff game to put the Rams in the quarterfinals.
Johnsonburg is scheduled to host Smethport at 4:30 p.m. Thursday at Knothole Area Recreational Park.
The 3-run home run turned out to be the game-winner in Johnsonburg's eventual 3-0 win over the visiting Elkers, a victory that raised the Rams' record to 19-0.
Ridgway softball was honored with a banquet to celebrate the season at The Royal Inn Monday night.
Ridgway varsity head coach Gary Gerber II expressed appreciation to athletic director Manny Barbazzeni as well as the players.
"We're here to honor all the hard work these young ladies put into the softball season," Gerber II said.
Senior catcher Sydney Kovalyak expressed her appreciation to coaches, parents and the booster club for the banquet along with The Royal Inn. She spoke about the excitement the team had for the upcoming season.
BROOKVILLE – By the time the 2012 PIAA District 9 AA Track and Field Championships were over on Friday evening at Brookville Area High School, several District 9 records had fallen as athletes strove to qualify for the PIAA state meet.
In addition to Elk County Catholic High School's Kennedy Weisner's record-setting performances in the girls' 800-meter run and 1600-meter run, six other records were broken in the girls' events on Friday.

OBI Executive Director Blair Levin provided introductory remarks at an event sponsored by a group whose mission is to increase broadband adoption among older Americans, called Project GOAL (Get Older Adults Online). The Plan reported that only 35% of older Americans have broadband at home, compared to 65% of the general public. The Plan makes a number of recommendations designed to increase adoption rates for older Americans.
Thank you, Debra, for the introduction.
And many thanks for your many contributions in helping develop America's Broadband plan.
In the preface to the Broadband Plan, we asserted America itself was the author of the Plan.
True--our team at the FCC put the final pen to paper, locked for months in a conference room full of old drafts and cheap Chinese food and Pizza—please don't tell the First Lady about our diet.
But we really believe America wrote this Plan because so many helped in its formation.
The public contributed ideas:
- in hearings across the country, from San Diego to Charleston; and
- in the more than 30 workshops held at the FCC, which were simulcast online so that everybody could participate—as long as they had a broadband connection.

Bird hide
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A bird hide (or hide, also known as a blind or bird blind in North America) is a shelter, often camouflaged, that is used to observe wildlife, especially birds, at close quarters. Although hides or hunting blinds were once built chiefly as hunting aids, they are now commonly found in parks and wetlands for the use of bird watchers, ornithologists and other observers who do not want to disturb wildlife as it is being observed.
A typical bird hide resembles a garden shed, with small openings, shutters, or windows built into at least one side to enable observation.
Variant types of bird hide include:
- the tower hide, which has multiple storeys and allows observations over large areas
- the bird blind, which is a screen similar to one wall of a typical hide, with or without a roof for shelter
- the machan, a covered platform erected to observe birds and wildlife in high trees or on cliffs, particularly in India where it was originally used by tiger-hunters.[1]
