Sexual Misconduct Policy
Whitman College strives to provide a safe environment in which students can pursue their education free from the detrimental effects of sexual misconduct, which includes sexual harassment and sexual assault. Therefore, the College seeks to educate students, faculty and staff about these issues and to provide a means of recourse for those students who believe they have experienced such behavior. The College reserves the right to respond with whatever measures it deems appropriate to prevent sexual misconduct and preserve the safety and well-being of its students.
- To define sexual misconduct involving students, which includes sexual harassment, domestic violence, intimate partner violence, stalking, other forms of non-consensual sexual behavior, and sexual assault
- To identify resources and support for students reporting an incident of sexual misconduct
- To establish procedures for filing complaints of sexual misconduct
- To affirm the College's commitment to preventing sexual misconduct
- To respond appropriately when incidents do occur
Sexual Misconduct Defined
The College prohibits sexual misconduct in any form. Sexual misconduct is a broad term encompassing any unwelcome behavior of a sexual nature that is committed without consent or by force, intimidation, coercion or manipulation. Sexual misconduct can occur between persons of the same or different genders.
Sexual Harassment is defined as unwelcome verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature that is sufficiently severe or persistent or pervasive such that it unreasonably interferes with, limits or deprives someone of the ability to participate in or benefit from the College's educational programs or employment opportunities. The unwelcome behavior may be based on power differentials (quid pro quo), the creation of a hostile environment or retaliation. A single instance of sexual assault may be sufficient to constitute a hostile environment.
The list of prohibited conduct under this policy includes, but is not limited to, the following:
- Unwelcome sexual advances or propositions that interfere with a student's education or employment opportunities
- Using electronic devices or technology (e.g., cell phone, camera, email, Internet sites or social networks) to record or transmit nudity or sexual acts without a person's knowledge and/or permission
- Committing violence within a relationship (domestic violence or intimate partner violence)
- Excessive unwanted and persistent attention on a regular basis either with electronic devices or in person or other means (stalking)
- Intentionally observing nudity or sexual acts of another person without the person's knowledge or permission (voyeurism)
- Unwanted touching of the genitals, buttocks, or breasts that is intentional or other unwanted touching or groping
- Forcing/coercing someone to touch you or someone else in a sexual manner
- Threatening to sexually harm someone
- Initiating sexual activity with a person who is incapacitated and unable to provide consent due to alcohol and/or drug consumption or other condition
- Inducing incapacitation for the purpose of sexual exploitation
- Ignoring a sexual limit that has been communicated
- Coercing or intimidating someone into sexual behavior
- Sexual assault, including unwanted penetration of an orifice (anal, vaginal, oral) with the penis, finger or objects
Consent Defined
The College defines consent as a freely and affirmatively communicated willingness to participate in sexual activity, expressed by clear, unambiguous words or actions. It is the responsibility of the initiator of the sexual activity to ensure that he or she has the other person's consent to engage in sexual activity. Consent must be present throughout the sexual activity by all parties involved. At any time, a participant can communicate that he or she no longer consents to continuing the activity. Consent may never be obtained through the use of force, coercion, or intimidation or if the victim is mentally or physically disabled or incapacitated, including through the use of drugs or alcohol.
Students cannot assume consent because of the existence of a previous dating or sexual relationship. The use of alcohol or drugs does not diminish a student's responsibility to obtain consent for sexual activity.
Filing a Complaint
Students who have a complaint or who would like information about filing a complaint should contact the Dean of Students Office Memorial Hall, Room 325, (509) 527-5158. Prompt reporting of a complaint is strongly encouraged, as it allows rapid response to and resolution of prohibited or objectionable behavior. The passage of significant time between an incident and an investigation can result in memory lapses, the departure of key witnesses or other time-sensitive factors that can impair the investigation.
The Title IX Administrator will coordinate the College's response to reports of sexual misconduct. This includes:
- Making information regarding the Sexual Misconduct Policy and related services available to students in print and via the website
- Assisting complainants and respondents in understanding their rights
- Recommend necessary remedial short-term actions to provide appropriate support and safety. This would include facilitating requests for safe housing, negotiating academic accommodations and providing referrals to on and off campus resources
- Assist students who choose to report an incident of sexual misconduct to the
- Walla Walla Police Department or other law enforcement agencies
- Investigating reports of alleged sexual misconduct involving students
- Issuing no-contact and no-trespass directives
- Overseeing the adjudication process and if necessary the appeal procedures
Students involved in an incident of sexual misconduct have the right to:
- A safe environment
The College will take whatever measures it deems reasonable and feasible to protect the safety of the campus community, and the well-being and rights of students. Such measures may include but are not limited to, modification of living arrangements, changing an academic or work schedule, or no-contact or no-trespass directives.
- Respect
All parties involved in an incident of sexual misconduct will be treated with dignity, respect and fairness.
- Be taken seriously
The College will treat all complaints seriously and will investigate al allegations of sexual misconduct.
- Access to College resources and support
All parties will have full access to campus services designed to assist in such cases, including the Dean of Students' office, the Counseling Center and Health Center.
- A fair conduct process
The College will conduct a fair and impartial investigation and adjudication
- File a complaint with law enforcement agencies
The College will provide information about filing a criminal complaint and provide help contacting law enforcement agencies
- Freedom from retaliation
The College will not tolerate any form of harassment, retaliation, and/or intimidation of the complainant or the respondent, or of those supporting either party. Any retaliatory action taken against a complainant or respondent or against their friends, acquaintances or other persons cooperating in the investigation of a charge of sexual misconduct is a violation of College policy.
- Privacy
The sexual misconduct hearing is closed to the public. The written statements submitted by both parties are educational documents protected by the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act.
Investigation and Adjudication Process
When the College has received actual notice of a gender-based complaint such as an incident of sexual misconduct, the Title IX Administrator will initiate an immediate preliminary investigation to determine if there is reasonable cause to charge the respondent, and if so, what policy violations should be alleged as part of the complaint.
- If the preliminary inquiry does not yield enough evidence to charge the respondent, the complainant will be notified and the case will be closed
- If there is evidence to support the allegation, the Title IX Administrator will assign an investigator(s) to conduct a thorough, reliable and impartial investigation.
- The Title IX Administrator will consult with the complainant to determine what interim actions are warranted by the college.
- The Title IX Administrator will recommend advisers from the Whitman community who have experience with sexual misconduct cases to assist both the complainant and the respondent through the investigation and adjudication processes.
- In consultation with the Title IX administrator, the investigator will identify alleged policy violations, key issues, and the scope of investigation.
- The investigator and Title IX Administrator will develop the investigation strategy and outline a proposed timeline not to exceed 60 days.
- The respondent will be notified of the allegation and the ensuing investigation.
- Respondents may choose not to participate in the investigation; however, the investigation will proceed and the finding will be based on all the available evidence.
- Based on information from the investigation, including interviews, supporting evidence and other relevant information, the Title IX Administrator will make a recommendation for a finding using a preponderance of evidence standard.
- The Dean of Students and/or the Title IX Administrator will meet with the respondent and complainant separately to go over the Title IX report, which will include a finding and recommended range of sanctions, if appropriate. The Title IX administrator will schedule a second meeting with the respondent, ideally within two weekdays, so that the respondent can accept or challenge the finding and/or recommended range of sanctions.
- If the respondent accepts the finding, the case will be referred to the Council on Sexual Misconduct to decide on a sanction if appropriate. Sanctions that do not involve suspension or dismissal can be imposed by the Dean of Students. The complainant has the opportunity to submit or present an impact statement at a sanctioning hearing.
- If the respondent challenges the finding and/or sanction, the Council on Sexual Misconduct will be convened to decide the case based on information in the investigation report and the statement from the respondent outlining his or her rationale for contesting the finding.
- Both parties will be notified of the decision separately within two weekdays of the decision.
- Both the complainant and the respondent have the right to appeal the decision of the council within three weekdays after being informed of the decision. See further information at the link below for details concerning the basis for an appeal.
- Although individuals may consult an attorney, the College's investigations hearings and appeal processes are not legal proceedings and attorneys may not be present or participate.

Academic Dishonesty and Plagiarism
Academic Dishonesty defined
Falsification, misrepresentation of another's work as one's own (such as cheating on examinations, reports or quizzes), plagiarism from the work of others, or the presentation of substantially similar work for different courses (unless authorized to do so), is academic dishonesty and is a serious offense. Knowingly helping other students cheat or plagiarize is also considered academic dishonesty.
Plagiarism defined
Plagiarism occurs when you, intentionally or due to your own negligence, use someone else's words, ideas, or data without proper acknowledgment. To avoid plagiarism, whenever you use exact wording of another author in your written text, you must enclose the words in quotation marks, whether it be a paragraph, a sentence, or merely a well-turned phrase. You must then acknowledge the source in a precise and complete citation. It is not enough to cite the source without indicating by quotation marks that the words are someone else's. It is also not enough to change one or two words in a sentence; that does not make it your own sentence. Another common error is to use another person's ideas or data without indicating the source. Even if you paraphrase the ideas, you must give credit in a citation to their originators. In oral presentations, the original source also should be given proper credit in the form of internal source references and in bibliographic entries. While all of the above applies primarily to plagiarism from texts, scholarly articles, review, handbooks, encyclopedias, etc., it also applies to the use, either wholly or in part, of another student's paper. The use of another student's ideas or words on an examination or report obviously constitutes plagiarism and is taken seriously by the faculty. Similarly, giving your ideas or words to another student to represent as his or her own also constitutes plagiarism. It is a form of cheating; indeed, it is a form of theft. It indicates dishonesty and a lack of personal integrity, which may affect your reputation in the eyes of your professors as well as your grade.
- When a faculty member judges that an instance of academic dishonesty has occurred, the faculty member shall notify the Dean of Students promptly. The Dean and the faculty member will decide if the student's actions warrant a hearing before the Council on Student Affairs or if the faculty member will decide the penalty. When a student is accused of academic dishonesty, not concerning his or her own course-work, the council on Student Affairs will convene to assess the validity of the charge and the penalty to be assessed.
- If the accusation of academic dishonesty is handled by the faculty member, he or she will contact the student promptly to notify the student of the accusation and arrange a meeting in which the nature of the violation and the penalty will be explained. The Dean of Students will maintain a record of the outcome, which could be a factor in any future accusations.
- If the Dean of Students and faculty member are referring the case to the Council on Student Affairs, the faculty member shall meet with the student promptly and explain the accusation of academic dishonesty and notify the student that the Dean of Students, who is the Chair of the Council on Student Affairs, will convene the Council for a formal hearing. The Council will determine the validity of the charge and the penalty to be assessed.
- Withdrawing from a class does not preclude academic dishonesty proceedings from going forward. At the time of the student's notification that a faculty member has concluded that academic dishonesty has taken place in a course for which the student is currently registered, the student shall also receive notification that withdrawal from that course cannot be final unless and until the student is shown not to have committed academic dishonesty. A student who is shown to have committed academic dishonesty but whose penalty is less severe than an "F" grade in the course may still withdraw from the course.
- The student shall have the right to challenge an initial decision rendered by the faculty member regarding the charge of academic dishonesty by appealing to the Council on Student Affairs. The Council shall then provide a determination of the validity of the charge and the penalty to be assessed, which shall be the final determination unless it is, in turn, appealed.
- Near the end of the semester and other cases where there may be extenuating circumstances, the Dean of Students as Chair of the Council on Student Affairs, may adjust the time provisions in these procedures. Care will be taken to ensure that the accused maintains the basic rights of these procedures.
- For any meetings of the Council on Student Affairs regarding a case of academic dishonesty, the Chair shall ensure that the proceedings are recorded in case of an appeal.
Appeal Process
The student shall have the right to challenge a decision rendered by the Council on Student Affairs, based on the following criteria:
- New evidence not previously considered that would alter the outcome
- Evidence that was inappropriately ruled as inadmissible or admissible that would alter the outcome
- Procedural errors or violations committed that would have altered the outcome
To appeal, the student must petition the Chair of the Faculty in writing, within seven days of the decision stating which of these grounds is being used as a basis for the appeal. The Chair of the Faculty will then act on the petition in one of three ways:
- The appeal may be rejected.
- The Chair of the Faculty may decide to hear the appeal and then rule.
- The Chair of the Faculty may form a panel to hear the appeal.
Penalties for academic dishonesty are as follows:
- In a case where academic dishonesty has been committed by a student concerning his or her own course-work, and where a hearing by the Council on Student Affairs is deemed unnecessary, the faculty member teaching the cours in question shall have the discretion to decide what punitive measures to take with a maximum penalty of a grade of "F" in the course.
- For a first offense, in a case where academic dishonesty not concerning the student's own course-work has been committed by the student, the Council on Student Affairs shall determine the penalty.
- A second offense of any sort of academic dishonesty may result in expulsio from the college.
- A student who is found to have committed academic dishonesty in a cours from which he or she has withdrawn, shall have this provisional withdrawal cancelled, and shall be penalized in accordance with the above guidelines.
A report on each case of demonstrable academic dishonesty will be kept in the Dean of Students office while the student is in attendance at Whitman College. Upon graduation or departure from Whitman College, the report will be destroyed, except for those cases in which academic dishonesty constitutes part of the case for dismissal of a particular student. The purpose of reporting cases of demonstrable academic dishonesty is to provide a temporary record in order to discourage repeat offenses, and to facilitate identification of repeat offenders. All meetings and deliberations pursuant to the judicial procedures and appeals in this policy shall be otherwise kept strictly confidential. Any recordings of meetings shall be destroyed after the appeal deadline has passed.
Hazing is any activity of a physical or psychological nature that is degrading or humiliating to another person. Groups of individuals or individuals acting on behalf of a club, group, organization, or team sometimes use hazing as a way of initiating a person into their respective group. Hazing does not encourage respect for others and is unacceptable and prohibited by Whitman College. Oftentimes, perpetuators of hazing activities justify their actions under the auspices of teambuilding; teambuilding supports and respects individual members within a group, hazing does not.
Team Building …
promotes respect and dignity; supports and empowers individuals; creates cooperation; is inclusive; invokes lifelong memories; and encourages pride and integrity.
Team Building is a shared positive experience
Hazing …
humiliates and degrades; tears down individuals; creates division; is exclusive; provokes lifelong nightmares; or encourages shame and secrecy.
Hazing is a power trip.
To determine whether an activity constitutes hazing, use the following questions as a guide:
- Is this activity unrelated to the educational goals of the team, club, group, or organization?
- Will active or current members of the group refuse to participate with the newmembers and do exactly what they are being asked to do?
- Does the activity risk emotional or physical abuse?
- Is this activity a prerequisite for membership on your team or in your organization?
- Is there risk of injury or a question of safety?
- Is alcohol used inappropriately?
- Do you have any reservation describing the activity to your parents, to a professor, or a college official?
- Would you have reservations about the Pioneer, Walla Walla Union-Bulletin or a local television news crew displaying images, stories, or a video stream about your activity?
If the answer to any of the above questions is yes, the activity likely constitutes hazing. Even if there is no malicious intent, safety might still be a factor in traditional initiation activities that upperclassmen consider all in good fun. The college strongly encourages campus groups, organizations, clubs, or teams to review the appropriateness of all activities (planned or otherwise) with their respective sponsor, adviser, or coach. This is particularly important for group leaders who organize activities outside of their sponsor's, adviser's or coach's normal purview.
In states that have laws against hazing, such as the State of Washington, the defendant(s) cannot use consent of the victim as a defense in a civil suit.
Consent is not a defense because a participant's agreement to participate in a potentially hazardous activity may not be true consent when considering peer pressure and the desire to be part of a group. http://apps.leg.wa.gov/WAC/default.aspx?cite=504-26-206.
The following behaviors and activities would constitute hazing on this campus. It is important to note that social pressure can constitute forced or requisite participation, even if the organizers claim that the activity is voluntary.
- Actions that recklessly or intentionally endanger the physical and mental healthor safety of students.
- Forced, coerced, or required consumption of any food, liquor, drug, beverage,water, or any other substance.
- Forced, coerced, or required participation in physical activities, such ascalisthenics, exercises, or so-called games.
- Forced or required conduct that could embarrass or adversely affect the dignityof the individual, including the performance of public stunts and activities.
- Forced exposure to the weather.
- Excessive fatigue resulting from sleep deprivation, physical activities, or exercise.
- Assignment of activities that would be illegal or unlawful, or might be morallyoffensive to new members.
- Physical brutality, including paddling, striking with fists, open hands, or objects, and branding.
- Kidnapping against a person's will, and forced transportation or stranding of individuals.
- Verbal abuse, including "line-ups" and berating of individuals.
- Forced or required clean-up work or labor created for new members.
- Denial of sufficient time to study.
- Forced or required nudity or lewd behavior.
It is important to note that current or former students participating with new or prospective group members in any of the above activities can still constitute hazing. New and returning members should also be aware that according to federal hazing laws, not only can the individuals involved in the act of hazing lose all financial aid, but the person they haze also can lose all financial aid, regardless of consent or voluntary participation.
The college will pursue disciplinary action in all cases of suspected hazing. The college considers disciplinary action at the college level to be independent from other court proceedings, and action may be instituted against a student also charged in civil or criminal courts based on the same facts that constitute the alleged violation of the Code of Conduct. For more information on hazing, visit the Dean of Students Office or hazingprevention.org.
Prevention and Education
The college conducts an annual mandatory training for faculty, students, and staff who participate in the adjudication for sexual misconduct cases. The training is designed to help the participants gain an understanding for the role of the council member or adviser, to become familiar with the sexual misconduct policy, and to become aware of the sensitive nature of sexual misconduct hearings and issues of confidentiality.
Green Dot is a violence reduction program that encourages bystanders to be actively engaged in making the campus a safe place for everyone. The basic concepts are very simple: red dots, which are brief moments in time when someone's words or actions contribute to violence or display apathy or indifference in the face of potential violence, are unwanted; green dots, which are brief moments in time when someone's words or actions make our campus safer and express intolerance for unsafe behaviors, are encouraged. All entering students participate in a 45-minute introduction to the Green Dot program during new student orientation and learn the basics of "doing Green Dots." A number of students are also nominated to participate in an-depth Green Dot bystander training seminar each semester. In essence, Green Dot is about being actively engaged and making the safety of each individual the responsibility of our whole community.

Craig and I had only been dating two months, but we knew the first time we met each other that we would be together forever. One day, we were sitting in Starbucks when Craig said, "Baby I love you and only want to be with you." It's funny because traditionally a man proposes to his bride-to-be, but I did the proposing. I took the plunge and went with my gut. I didn't even have an engagement ring for him. I said, "Baby, will you marry me?" Craig replied with coffee in his hands, "Of course I will marry you baby. I love you so much." I had a ring on that I had bought from some cheap shop in West New York, and I placed it on his pinky finger. After I did this, I started to tear up. It was a perfect night, and to top it all off, it was snowing outside!

The Cinematic Masterpieces of my Childhood
The other day I was talking to a friend and I referenced The Electric Horseman starring Robert Redford and Jane Fonda. And she didn't know what I was talking about.
I mean, I had to forgive her because she wasn't even born in 1979. She was busy growing a spine and eyelashes in the womb. And I was already in third grade. Which makes me feel kind of old. But not as old as when I meet someone who's already out of college and was born the year I graduated from high school.
Of course I owe a lot of my early cinema appreciation to Mrs. Fletcher. Her daughter was my best friend throughout elementary school and she was always up for dropping us off at movies that probably weren't necessarily appropriate.
And the dawn of cable television definitely helped matters. If it weren't for HBO, I probably would have only seen Coal Miner's Daughter 456 times instead of my current record of 1,046 times.
Anyway, I have decided to take it upon myself to reintroduce some other movie classics that you may have missed out on due to being in elementary school or, you know, not born.
Since I've already mentioned my love of The Electric Horseman, I'm going to share eight other movies that had a profound influence on my childhood.
It's like a top ten list but with only eight things.
1. Grease
It's almost a cliche to mention Grease because what girl wasn't influenced by this movie? And go ahead and try to deny it, but you know that you wanted to be Olivia Newton-John turned bad girl rather than Sandy in the poodle skirt.
There was a time when I came up with a master plan to be the good girl who wore skirts all year long and then show up on the last day of school wearing some Jordache Jeans and my Nike tennis shoes and shock my entire third grade class.
Which, granted, is not exactly as cool as showing up in black leather pants and red Candies, but I was a realist. I knew my mama would never buy me any black leather pants because, hello, inappropriate. But that didn't keep my friends and me from cutting up some black leotards and tights and wearing them with my mom's Candies to re-enact that last scene 842 times in one day.
There is nothing better than a seven year old pretending to put out a cigarette while saying, "Tell me about it, Stud."
Note to self: Do not allow my daughter to see Grease until college.
2. Coal Miner's Daughter
One of the greatest movies ever made. I will sit and watch the entire thing any time it's on T.V. There is no other movie with as many great lines.
"I done wrote me a song, Betty Sue. Your mama's a dadgum songwriter."
"Stop that growlin'. You sound like an 'ol bar."
"Hey Doolittle Lynn. Who's that sow you got wallowin' in your jeep?"
Greatness. Just pure greatness.
3. Urban Cowboy
Bud. Sissy. Gilley's.
Nothing is more romantic than getting in fights at honky-tonks and riding mechanical bulls.
For years afterwards, whenever I dreamed about my wedding day, I just knew I'd have the band play "Can I Have This Dance?" by Anne Murray.
And I'd wear white cowboy boots with my wedding dress.
Neither of those things came to pass.
4. Smokey and the Bandit
I don't know what I loved more, Burt Reynolds or that black Trans Am. I do remember that my sister had a crush on Jerry Reed and we'd argue about who was cuter, Bandit or The Snowman.
As I look at the common thread running through most of these movies, I realize I basically wanted to grow up to be a redneck.
But how can you argue with a movie that contains the line, "When I get home I'm gonna punch yo' momma in the mouth"?
5. Grease II
Two words.
Cool Rider.
6. On Golden Pond
This doesn't seem like an obvious choice, but I have always loved this movie. Of course at the time I had no appreciation for basically anything it was about, but even as a kid there was something that I adored.
And to this day I begin to cry when Katherine Hepburn starts in with her "You're my knight in shining armor" speech.
I guess what I'm saying is I've always been a big sap.
7. Nine to Five
I had no idea about office politics or what it meant to work in a cubicle in an office somewhere, but I adored this movie. It made me dream of being a secretary just so I could have this much fun.
Of course, I'd have to fit in being a secretary between all the mechanical bull-rides and running a truckload of beer across state lines.
8. Saturday Night Fever
Much to my dismay, I didn't see this when it initially came out because it was rated R. But then they took out some scenes and re-released it as a PG movie. I have no idea what they took out but I just know I was forever grateful I was able to actually see the movie that went with the fabulous soundtrack by the Bee-Gees that I listened to repeatedly on my portable 8-track player.
I'd been making up my own dances to "Jive Talking" for months and oh the sweet relief at finally getting to see John Travolta cut loose on the dance floor in his white suit.
It was everything I dreamed it would be.
And more.
I realize I'm leaving out other movies that were probably a little more kid-friendly such as E.T., The Muppet Movie, and Star Wars, but I was all about real life.
Real life that involved being a secretary who rides mechanical bulls, goes to the discoteque in flowy dresses, and sings at the Grand Ol' Opry.
So what about y'all? What movies did you love as a kid?
And just know that if you say The Bodyguard it's going to make me feel kind of old. Although I can't really argue with Whitney Houston singing "I Will Always Love You".

Great list!! Love it.

We must be the same age because I remember all of those movies fondly as well. I just told my 16 year old the other day as I was disco dancing in the drivers seat of my car to Stayin Alive that she HAD to see Saturday Night Live at least once to appreciate that era. I got the eye roll and she changed the station.
Michele from Pittsburgh On Wednesday, January 23 at 9:09 pm
I meant Saturday Night FEVER!!!!!
COEngrGirl On Wednesday, January 23 at 9:50 pm
Loved Urban Cowboy and all those movies… may have to Netflix UC tonight. Wearing white boots at your wedding is a practical choice… If you really think about it, they are comfortable for standing, walking and dancing with a little bit of height that every girl benefits from. Just sayin'…

Thanks for revealing your ideas. I'd personally also like to convey that video games have been actually evolving. Modern technology and revolutions have aided create reasonable and interactive games. These kinds of entertainment video games were not as sensible when the real concept was first of all being attempted. Just like other styles of know-how, video games way too have had to advance by means of many years. This itself is testimony towards fast growth of video games.

While Grease II was not nearly the quality movie as the the original, my best friend and I loved it and watched it over and over. I think she had it on tape or maybe HBO? Not sure but now that you mention it I might try and rent it this weekend!
Jen H On Thursday, January 24 at 7:20 am
Well, I do love all those movies you mentioned along with every John Hughes movie AND…. Footloose! I remember my family rented it and we had to rent the VCR, too.
Dawn On Thursday, January 24 at 7:51 am
Yes, bodyguard was good. I'm a bit older, like you, and I LOVED, LOVED, LOVED the Rogers and Hammerstein version of Cinderella with Leslie Ann Warren
Lynn B On Thursday, January 24 at 8:12 am
The Sound of Music was my absolute favorite. Others I enjoyed were Dr. Zhivago, Love Story–all movies with beautiful movie scores. That should make you feel much younger!
Jainey On Thursday, January 24 at 8:48 am
I thought I was the only person who had seen Coal Miner's Daughter 10,000 times!
Another movie I watched frequently as a youngin' was The Man from Snowy River – oh, the horses and the forbidden love…delicious!
and Dirty Dancing – oh, the dancing and the forbidden love…delightful!
and an even lesser known one Beguiled with Clint Eastwood – oh, the historical costumes and tragic forbidden love … dangerous!
brandi On Thursday, January 24 at 10:44 am
I can't get passed the photo of Bud….mmmmmhmmmm…yes, one of my all time favorite movies…right next to Saturday Night Fever…thanks for the to do list for my weekend….YAY!!!!
Becky in 'Bama On Thursday, January 24 at 10:45 am
Please tell me there is someone out there who loves "Buckaroo Bonzai and the 5th Dimension." So many pre-stardom players. Crazy, zaney and CAMP.
Georgia C - Houston On Thursday, January 24 at 12:26 pm
Loved the movie, see it on Saturdays on the Syfy channel.
Melissa Andler On Thursday, January 24 at 11:04 am
Ok, I am officially freaked out! It is like we are connected on some strange level. Wow!
Georgia C - Houston On Thursday, January 24 at 12:25 pm
I was proposed to at Gilley's, aahh, the memories. But does anyone remember Harold and Maude? I love the soundtrack and loved loved loved the movie!
Heather in Albuquerque On Thursday, January 24 at 12:59 pm
The first and only time I can remember my dad taking me to the movies, we went to Saturday Night Fever. Not sure HOW I swung that, as I was 8, but…. I love love love the Bee Gees and that movie, even though I can't remember if I was shocked by the inappropriate stuff.
I can also remember going to see Smokey and the Bandit with my parents, and the movie theater had a black Trans Am in the lobby. What a cool car.
Ree, I would substitute Tootsie for Grease 2 on your list. Didn't understand the reasoning behind a second movie…and absolutely loved Tootsie.
Suzie-Q On Thursday, January 24 at 1:29 pm
While all of your choices on movies is good and got some of them on DVD like Coal Miner's daughter (we are both from KY). I happen to like anything that has Patrick Swayze in , Dirty Dancing was my all time fav.
stephanie b On Thursday, January 24 at 1:30 pm
My hubby & I met in a bar outside of Houston, just like Urban Cowboy. It's been our running joke for 20 years now. We can both do a dead on impression of Bud & Sissy at the drop of a cowboy hat. We've even gone to Halloween parties as Bud & Sissy, down to putting the little name tag license plates in hubby's truck. And we did dance to "Can I have this dance" for our first dance at our reception.
Kim On Thursday, January 24 at 1:33 pm
Couldn't wait for the Wizard of Oz to make its yearly appearance on TV and Butch Cassidy and the Sundance kid was a long time favorite. Then Star Wars and later Indiana Jones came along. Always love a good adventure!

Wendy On Thursday, January 24 at 8:55 pm
I WORE the white boots w/ my wedding dress – in fact, I bought a western theme-ish dress! NObody I know likes Urban Cowboy and think I'm a hillbilly. Perhaps, it happened when my city mama married a country boy, my step-dad, though he was more like a close friend to me. Because of him, my mom learned to shoot a rifle. I said I'd never listen to country music, but he taped the radio dial to the country station, so that I couldn't change it. Eventually, I came to love country as much as "rock".
I was born in EARLY 70's. The 80's were the BEST decade for movies, music – both country and rock, and fashion! The hair – loved 80's hair. I still can't believe people are wearing bell bottoms. I remember being humiliated to for anyone to see pictures of me as a little girl wearing those things. I still think they're hideous.
I guess that's why I like everything from The Breakfast Club (anything w/John Cusack or Molly Ringwald, or Olivia Newton John, Patrick Dempsey) – my favorites, to yes, definitely yes, Urban Cowboy, Six Pack, and Honeysuckle Rose (w/ Willie Nelson). I have to fit Tootsie & Romancing the Stone in there somewhere…Am I allowed to insert Anne of Green Gables?
What about Valley Girl, Girls Just Want to Have Fun – a lot of fond memories……
Kim On Thursday, January 24 at 9:05 pm
All of those are favorites, except SNF. Never really got into that one. I watched Cole Miner's Daughter just the other day. My boys love Smokey and the Bandit. My dad had a car just like Burt's except his was light blue. I thought it was soooo cool.
"I love you Sissy."
Nikki M On Thursday, January 24 at 11:27 pm
Oh my word. I just need to shout out a big "Ditto!" to your whole list! I loved all of these movies growing up too.
carole On Friday, January 25 at 10:55 am
Thank you for saying that you won't let your daughter watch 'Grease' before she is in college. I am shocked at how popular that movie is among young girls and what a default movie it is for parents to rent for young girls to watch. It is a HORRIBLE movie for anyone younger than college age to watch. It has a thousand-plus bad messages in it that completely overwhelm any other rationale for allowing young girls to watch it.
Wendy On Friday, January 25 at 12:24 pm
I agree, Carole. I have to confess that SNL and Grease never did a whole lot for me, either. I was way too young to see Grease when it came out, and it honestly frightened me. But then, I was only 6 or 7 when it came out. My mom let me do a lot more than I'm willing to let my children do. I remember well all the things I did when I was a young adult….
Jenee On Friday, January 25 at 12:38 pm
All my favs! We need to have a weekend movie date!
Dora On Friday, January 25 at 2:09 pm
Will always be crazy about. "The Man from Snowy River ". Romance and horses….how much better can it get and Kirk Douglas to boot!!!
barbara On Saturday, January 26 at 9:05 pm
love it! along with return to snowy mountain
Dawn Knight On Friday, January 25 at 3:50 pm
As a teenager I loved Camelot and when I was a little older I found The Wars of the Roses hilarious. Having recently seen Primary Colours I am looking forward to watching it again and that is something I rarely do. For some reason – don't know why – I love The American President and that is a film which I do watch over again,
Barbara On Saturday, January 26 at 9:04 pm
So….this is more early college years – but "When Harry met Sally"….has to be on the list of classic stories that i never forget….especially around the holidays if people say "pecan pie" and can men and women truly be just friends? Its so hard to explain that film to those late 20 somethings who have never seen it.
Janet P. On Sunday, January 27 at 12:57 pm
Not so much into cowboy movies, but absolutely loved Ladyhawke and A Walk in the Clouds. Saw these as a young woman, not a teen. Star Wars (the original) was my first major hook in movies.
Darla On Monday, January 28 at 6:37 pm
I am showing my age, but my all time favorite movies are the old Doris Day/Rock Hudson movies!!
Darla Berry On Tuesday, January 29 at 5:37 pm
What about Honeysuckle Rose with Willie Nelson and Diane (darn I forgot) or a Star is Born with Kris Kristopherson and Barbara Streisand
Carolyn Roberson On Saturday, February 2 at 12:45 pm
Ten Commandments
Ben Hur
Come September
Big Country

A 'Thing's" "Essence" is Certainty--i.e. What it was as it came into Being + "That it is" (its specificity, individuality, and 'here/nowness'). "Essence" came from the African goddess Auset ("endowed with spirit"; Greek Isis), related to aakhut ("wise instructional folk") + Askhu-t (a name for Isis) in the sense of a "seat." Aus is like the Coptic "Es," the root of "Esse" (deity). The Essences were believed to be the religious Jewish tribe to which John the Baptist and Jesus belonged. Since Ancient Africans considered the Ether to be spiritual and equivalent to the "Soul"—the Cosmic Psyche (composed of differently arranged atoms, themselves composed of energy as modern physics has proven)--the idea of consuming any kind of substance assumes a strong spiritual meaning. This is because all of it is composed of the same underlying essences (Ashby, Book of Dead p327). Thus, every meal consumed is a communion with the Divine and that is why many people say a blessing and end with "Amen" (an honoring of the African God, Amen Amon). To avoid confusing this Spiritual meaning with the Soul and Mind of man, it was called Quality. When Ether was the cause of the conception of a thing (because the thing is invested in at least flimsy Matter, like an idea in ones mind) and/or when Ether was the cause of the existence of a thing in the Spiritual realms--or taste, smell, hearing, and feeling in Earthly realms--it was termed a Primary Quality (Star). If the Ether was just simply a supporting part of the conception or existence of something already in "Being-hood," it was a Secondary Quality (Halo). Two ancient synonyms for Primary Qualities are Essence and Ultimate. In other words, the essence of a God-made "Seed" (Law, Principle) is Real and Truth.
Ancient Africans said the essential state of the Supreme Being is one in which Its energy/matter is not differentiated into things--implying "to be" is its most basic and indivisible state. One is born, they said, with Ignorance and to become 'Enlightened' (ones Real Self) is to see the essence of things and learn how each has a place in the Circle of Wholism. In other words, and more broadly, whether dealing with the Physical or Metaphysical, the Essence ("to be")--the "What it is" of Critical Thinking--is the single most important thing to discover about anything on the path to Knowledge since from it come Principles for Thought Structures. To illustrate a Spiritual Essence, a human's Real Self is the God-Spirit (indwelling divine intelligence) which serves as a bridge between the Image of God and the remainder of that individual's Selfhood. A Metphysical/Physical example is a Symbol in a Proverb which stand for its own meaning and something more—similar to what happens from Synthesis and also is present in Allegory (a story within a story that embraces thoughts on multiple planes of existence). An expression crystallizing the essence of Symbols is: "A picture is worth a thousand words." Thus, the words Ancient Africans chose in speaking to each other were heavily Symbolic. In addition, the speakers could imply extensions on the meaning of a symbolic word as well as get more meaning out of what was said and left unsaid. The process of seeing Essence as an abstract core of What a Thing Is resembles the way they reduced their folk wisdom into Proverbs.
A Physical Realm example occurred when the writing invented by interior Africans (77,000 BC) and brought to light in pre-Egyptian times became a most significant vehicle for those Africans who laid the foundation for all that is great in the world today (although this is deliberately hidden from the world). Next, their written language was expanded with a series of little pictures. The Ancient Egyptian hieroglyphic system of writing in pictograms included signs which were essentially alphabetic in character, not unlike its interior African (including Ethiopian) predecessors. Besides each picture item standing for itself (the picture of a house meaning "house"), they also used the Rebus-Principle to construct words which could not easily be depicted. Rebus is a representation of words or a phrase in the form of pictures, letters, numbers, or symbols. For example, a tiny silhouette of a lion (labo in Egyptian) represented the letter L in the Egyptian alphabet; a reed leaf (aak in Egyptian) would be used for 'A'; a checker board (mene) for M; a picture of a cat on a log is a rebus for "catalog." All of Egypt's civil records (inventories, bills, contracts) were written in Hieratic and Demotic phonetic script so its essences could touch business people's "Heads."

We're closing in on the most wonderful time of the year for music fans, where the lineups for festivals like Coachella, Bonnaroo, and Lollapalooza will all be announced within the next two months. You don't have to be a Festival Outlook junkie to know that one band whose name will be in big, bold letters on one or more posters will be the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Whether you love 'em for their perseverance or hate 'em for thinking they passed their "best before date" ages ago, they're going to be touring in 2012. A lot. Make that a disgusting amount. They may not break any U2 360° type records, but you had better start getting used to Anthony Kiedis, Flea, Chad Smith, and "new" guitarist Josh Klinghoffer in their shirtless, tattooed glory.
The Chili Peppers have already played roughly 50 shows last year in support of their 10th album, I'm with You. While they have well over 200 of their own songs at their disposal, accumulated over a career that began innocently enough in 1983, the setlists so far have been leaning on a shall we say predictable selection of 30 or so songs. For a group that was just admitted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, they kind of owe their devotees to mix and funk things up when they begin anew in North America for the first time in nearly five years.

The Pinewood boys placed second and the Pinewood girls placed fifth out of a nine-team field competing at the Porter-Gaud track meet April 12.

The Panther 4 x 800 team of Seigel, Ray Mennetti, Zhang Tian Yi, and Hazel placed first and the Pinewood 4 x 400 team of Steven Kennedy, Austin McCray, Landry Lima and Dexter Coaxum placed first.
Landry Lima placed second in the 400 with a qualifying time of 55.24. Dexter Coaxum placed fourth in the 100, 200 and long jump with state qualifying marks.
Zhang Tian Yi placed fourth in the 800. Jake Birdsong placed sixth in the 800 and ran the 1,600.
Ray Mennetti placed sixth in the 1,600 with a state qualifying time of 5:16.9. Austin McCray placed seventh in the 200 with a state-qualifying time. Matthew Davis finished ninth in the 1,600.

Nasir placed seventh in the mile race to earn a spot on the podium with a time of 5:13.

Congress: Dems Scuttle Guantanamo Funding
• As the Senate took up the $91.3 billion war supplemental Tuesday, Appropriations Chairman Daniel Inouye, D-Hawaii, "offered an amendment that would wipe out all $80 million requested for closure" of the Guantanamo Bay detention facility "and to review the status of the 240 detainees there," CongressDailyAM (subscription) reports. "The amendment says none of the funds in the bill or any previous legislation may be used to pay for the transfer of the Guantanamo detainees to any state."
• "House Appropriations Chairman David Obey (D-Wis.) stoked the skirmish" between Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and the CIA "Tuesday by firing off a letter to" CIA Director Leon Panetta "demanding that he correct a document at the center of the uproar," Roll Call (subscription) reports. "Obey said a report the agency released 13 days ago inaccurately stated an Appropriations panel staffer attended a 2006 briefing, when that aide remembers being turned away at the door."
• "The House ethics committee voted Tuesday against investigating five Democratic lawmakers who were arrested during a protest at the Sudan Embassy in April," Roll Call (subscription) reports. "Democratic Reps. Keith Ellison (Minn.), Lynn Woolsey (Calif.), John Lewis (Ga.), Jim McGovern (Mass.) and Donna Edwards (Md.) were arrested April 27 outside the embassy during a protest over genocide in Darfur."
White House: Credit Card Bill Passes With Administration Pressure
• "The credit-card overhaul is set to become the first major legislative change to financial regulation outside housing since the emergency bank bailout enacted last fall, and it's not the last expected this year," Wall Street Journal (subscription) reports. "Tuesday's 90-5 vote followed pressure from the White House on card issuers to improve fairness and transparency for the three-fourths of U.S. households that use credit cards."
• "Weeks after winning the White House, President Obama sought to reassure a nation unnerved by a financial meltdown that Paul A. Volcker, the venerable former Federal Reserve chairman, would help the new economic team steer a course through the crisis," the Washington Post reports. Six months later, "Volcker has had sporadic contact with the president, and his role in the administration remains unclear, according to sources with direct knowledge of his thinking."
• "Serbia's president told visiting U.S. Vice President Joe Biden on Wednesday he hoped to open a new page in relations with Washington, ten years after NATO bombed the Balkan country over its conduct in Kosovo," Reuters reports. "Biden, hated by many Serbs for backing independence for majority ethnic Albanian Kosovo and supporting arming Bosnian Muslims in their 1992-5 fight against Bosnian Serbs, is on the highest-level U.S. visit to Belgrade in a quarter century."
Politics: Bunning Blames McConnell For Party's Losses
• "The war between Sen. Jim Bunning, R-Ky., and his commonwealth colleague, Senate Minority Leader McConnell, continues to escalate, with Bunning Tuesday accusing McConnell of being a poor leader and faulting him with Republicans' heavy losses over the last two election cycles," CongressDailyAM (subscription) reports.
• "Voters in California on Tuesday slapped down a slew of tax hikes and borrowing measures that Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger [R] said were needed to solve the state's fiscal dilemma," USA Today reports. "Four out of five measures dealing with higher taxes had failed by nearly 2-to-1."
• "Senate Democrats slightly outraised their GOP counterparts in April and also paid down a large chunk of their 2008 debt last month, according to fundraising reports set to be filed with the Federal Election Commission," Roll Call (subscription) reports. "The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee raised $3.1 million last month" and "had $2.6 million in cash on hand. The National Republican Senatorial Committee raised $2.9 million and had nearly $2.7 million in cash on hand."
Economy: Administration Considering Consumer Protection Agency
• "The Obama administration is actively discussing the creation of a regulatory commission that would have broad authority to protect consumers who use financial products as varied as mortgages, credit cards and mutual funds, according to several sources familiar with the matter," the Washington Post reports. "The proposed commission would be one of the administration's most significant steps yet to overhaul the financial regulatory system."
• "Royal Dutch Shell PLC, Europe's largest oil company, suffered a stunning rebuke Tuesday when investors shot down its executive-compensation plan, in the latest display of shareholder anger over big paychecks and boardroom excesses amid the economic crisis," the Wall Street Journal (subscription) reports. "Shell is the largest among a growing group of British companies whose shareholders have voted down compensation plans in advisory votes."
• "The pace of housing sales has been rising in many markets this year, but it is only partly because families seeking affordable housing are returning to the market," the Wall Street Journal (subscription) reports. "It also is because of investors like former Deutsche Bank managing director Matthew Cooleen, whose firm has spent $30 million buying pools of foreclosed houses from banks."
National Security: U.S. Arms Falling Into Taliban Hands
• "Insurgents in Afghanistan, fighting from some of the poorest and most remote regions on earth, have managed for years to maintain an intensive guerrilla war against materially superior American and Afghan forces," the New York Times reports. "Arms and ordnance collected from dead insurgents hint at one possible reason: Of 30 rifle magazines recently taken from insurgents' corpses, at least 17 contained cartridges, or rounds, identical to ammunition the United States had provided to Afghan government forces, according to an examination of ammunition markings by The New York Times and interviews with American officers and arms dealers."
• "Corruption in the Afghan political and legal systems is 'pervasive' and 'entrenched,' a report prepared for the main U.S. aid agency says, posing a challenge to the Obama administration's plans to steer more assistance through the U.S.-backed Afghan government," USA Today reports.
World: British Official Resigns Amid Scandal
• "The speaker of Britain's House of Commons resigned under pressure Tuesday, the biggest casualty yet in a scandal over dubious expenses that has sparked a movement to impose supervision on its historically independent Parliament," the Wall Street Journal (subscription) reports. "Michael Martin's resignation marks the first time in more than 300 years that a speaker has been forced from office by a formal challenge."
• "Iran launched a missile with a range of around 2,000 km (1,200 miles) on Wednesday and President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said the Islamic state could send any attacker 'to hell,' official media reported," Reuters reports. "The stated range of the surface-to-surface Sejil 2 missile would be almost as far as another Iranian missile, Shahab 3, and military analysts say it could enable Iran to reach Israel and U.S. bases in the Gulf."
Technology: Bush White House Wins E-mail Disclosure Victory
• "A federal appeals court ruled Tuesday that the office that has records about millions of possibly missing emails from the Bush White House doesn't have to make them public," AP reports. "The appeals court in Washington ruled that the White House Office of Administration isn't an agency subject to the Freedom of Information Act, allowing the White House to keep secret documents about an email system that has been plagued with problems."
• "The protracted debate in Washington over preserving an open Internet has focused on ensuring that broadband providers operate 'neutral' networks that don't block, degrade or prioritize content" CongressDailyAM (subscription) reports. "Yet the result that's been feared -- the creation of lanes reserved for premium fare and limited access to certain Web sites -- is emerging as online programmers leverage marquee content to spur exclusive deals with broadband providers."
• "The Senate Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee postponed a confirmation vote" Tuesday "on federal chief technology officer nominee Aneesh Chopra to allow Chopra to respond to written questions from senators who did not attend a conformation hearing," Federal Computer Week reports. "Meanwhile, several senators who attended voiced support for Chopra."
Lobbying: NRA Takes Aim At New Legislation
• "From the perspective of gun control advocates, the playing field is upside down," Roll Call (subscription) reports. "Their nemesis, the 138-year-old National Rifle Association, seems more powerful than ever. Instead of a Democratic trifecta lending gun control the upper hand, it has energized the NRA, whose membership has grown 30 percent since the November elections. And the NRA has been on the attack."
• "A new analysis of Senate disclosure records by The Center for Public Integrity found that 10 lobbying firms -- all with deep ties to Capitol Hill -- have amassed such large client lists that they represent nearly 100 of the business stakeholders in the [climate legislation] brawl," Politico reports.
• "Reshaping the nation's health care system has spurred some shotgun marriages of convenience," AP reports. "Momentum for redoing the medical system has been helped by unlikely alliances that broadly embrace" Obama's "drive for overhaul but gloss over prickly issues like how to pay for it. Those political unions, though, will likely fray when Congress begins to pencil in the details."
Health Care: Baucus Warns Lobbyists To Bite Tongues Or Be Left Out Of Reform
• "Top aides to Senate Finance Chairman Max Baucus (D-Mont.) held a private meeting on Monday with a bloc of prominent Democratic lobbyists, warning them to hold their fire or be left out of negotiations on" Obama's "No. 1 legislative priority," Roll Call (subscription) reports.
• "The Obama administration's drive to implement electronic health records (EHRs) should have strong identity management tools to ensure privacy and security of the records, members of a panel of providers, vendors and policy experts said" Tuesday, Federal Computer Week reports.
• Congressional Budget Office Director Douglas Elmendorf "told Senate Finance Committee members and staffers he expects fewer Americans would migrate from private health insurance to a public plan than projected by the oft-quoted study by nonpartisan policy experts at The Lewin Group," CongressDailyAM (subscription) reports. "The revelation depends on the actual numbers that will come as proposals become more specific. It could reverse the argument from public plan opponents that private insurers would be run out of business by a competing public option, a concept known as 'crowd-out.'"
Energy & Environment: Dems Hire Speed Reader To Beat Potential GOP Obstruction
• "Democrats in the House Energy and Commerce Committee have taken a novel step to head off Republican efforts to slow action this week on a sweeping climate bill: Hiring a speed reader," the Wall Street Journal reports. "Committee Republicans, who largely oppose the measure, have said they may force the reading of the entire 946-page bill, as well as major amendments totaling several hundred pages."
• Obama "announced a sweeping plan to curb auto emissions on Tuesday, once again sending Congress a message that he's not waiting for it to act on his major priorities," Roll Call (subscription) reports. "Obama's expansive view of executive power is starting to worry moderate Democrats and Republicans who fear he will impose by regulation what he can't get via legislation."
• "The acceleration of fuel economy standards announced Tuesday by the Obama administration marks a stark reversal for a domestic auto lobby that once had its way in Washington," The Hill reports.
Commentary: Adding Fuel To The Fire
• In Earlybird's Pundits & Editorials section, some commentators laud the administration's new fuel standards while others foresee only negative repercussions in the long term.

Hi there! I just found Artists Daily and it looks like a great place!
So, I'm an amature artists and would like your help to improve my skills. I'm completely self taught, never had a class in my life. But anyways, here's my latest drawing I've done. I would like some help in knowing how I can improve my skills.
I'm no expert at all and I'm in the same boat as you, still learning. But with my experience I would personaly deepen the shading. :) Other than that it looks great.
Welcome on board. I hope you find Artist Daily as interesting as the rest of us do.
I know what "Blueeyes" is getting at—but I like this very much. The thin, light lines could be a little darker but remain thin. At present, they are almost getting lost. This style might work even better in ink line.
Looking good.
Okay, thanks!
@Paul Sullivan, Can you help me with my drawing? I'm the one who did that rose and I kind of used that information I received to do my new flower drawing! Can you critique it? Thank you. :)
I'll be offer any helpful comments I can. Just open a new thread on it in "Critique My Artwork".
If you don't hear from me on it, email me through my website—just to alert me that you have it posted.
Blueeyes —
OK.—Now, I see you already have it posted and ready for comment.
I'll get back to you on it tomorrow.
First of all I think a work of art evokes a feeling or mood, there is this emotional part of creativity. Deep down a fingerprint of who artists are. May be in the strength or softness of a piece, the way we perceive a color, the mediums that we use. To critique ones work, lies in techniques, or things that we can learn from, like be aware of proportion, shadow placement, etc.
With that said this piece evokes peacefulness and lots of potential! Carry a sketch book everywhere.
Formal train is like turning on a light to creativity

How Ken Made This - How to make Apple Butter
By Ken Jeffers | Posted on Nov 12, 2012
Second attempt at applebutter here. First time I mainly peeled the apples for my sister. This time, my daughter (13) and I did all the work. worked out pretty good, we think! We simply peeled the apples, boiled them till soft, then put in food processor with sugar, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg and a little all-spice (to suit taste). I love honey, so put a little of that in each batch as well. Mixed well, then put in prepared jars and water bath to seal. Now let's see if I can do this apple jelly my sister told me about…..
The original recipe from which this was made...

Excellent. I used home-roasted golden beets because I had some on hand and served it over baby leaf lettuces. The dinner included Roast Chicken with Mustard Vinaigrette (epi), and a Trader Joe's basil-ciabatta-flatbread that I topped with sauteed mushrooms and garlic, then heated up in the oven.flag if inappropriate
Oops, forgot the forks.flag if inappropriate
Canned beets? Surely, you jest.flag if inappropriate
Soooo simple and sooooo delicious! I receive compliments on this recipe each and every time I make it. My sister-in-law requests I bring this for every holiday meal. Enjoy.flag if inappropriate
Very good. I used canned beets and forgot the pine nuts. Pretty tasty though. Maybe it would have been a little better if the beets were warmed through a little. Nice flavours and colours though.flag if inappropriate
I'm a novice and this was a super easy recipe. I used canned beets (whole were hard to find but found them on the third try) and served the dish at room temperature. I mixed in the nuts instead and I mixed in the feta at the very end with only a couple stirs so that it wouldn't pick up the beet color too much. Love this dish and I wasn't a big beet fan until now. Actually made it a second time a week later.flag if inappropriate
I'm giving this four forks because my husband and I have hated (hated!) beets in the past but we liked this. Plus it was very easy to make. We got beets with our CSA share and felt obligated to use them. I chose this recipe because it had a 4-fork rating and used ingredients I already had in the kitchen. We used goat cheese instead of feta. Since I was using fresh beets, I roasted mine (four medium/small beets) first. We ate it all up in one sitting.flag if inappropriate
We received beets in our CSA and I had no idea what to do with them. This was pretty good, I think we just aren't a big beet family. I would make it again if the CSA sends us more beets. I roasted the beets, as suggested by abcooks4u and served it with goat cheese rather than feta. We ate it as a salad over the beet greens (which I sauted for a couple minutes with the onions).flag if inappropriate
YUMMY...used fresh beets, golden and red. Served over a bed of arugula and spotted the beets with goat cheese rather than feta. I have beets for the week and that makes me happy!flag if inappropriate
Very good! I roasted my fresh beets: pre-heat the oven to 350, putting a little olive oil on them and a little salt, wrap them in aluminum foil and bake for at least an hour until they are soft (poke them with a fork). Take them out, let them cool, and then you can peel off their skins easily. I used about 4 small beets (I will weigh them next time! :) I left the pine nuts whole and didn't toast them since I could only find 'roasted' pine nuts in the store. The whole thing is fabulous. I agree to serve it warm.flag if inappropriate

A McClellanville man faces attempted murder charges after witnesses said he stabbed a man in a fight over a girl.
Wesley Howard Gerald, 18, of Tibwin Road in McClellanville was arrested Saturday and released from the Charleston County jail on $75,000 bail, according to incident reports and jail records.
Charleston County deputies got a call that two men were fighting at a house on U.S. Highway 17 north in McClellanville around 10:30 p.m. May 25.
They found that Nigel Vanderhorst, 26, of McClellanville had been stabbed with a knife, twice in the right arm and once in the thigh.
Witnesses told deputies Gerald banged on the front door and pushed his way into the house, ripped the phone line out of the wall, punched Vanderhorst in the face and stabbed him.
Vanderhorst's girlfriend told deputies Gerald was mad because she was with Vanderhorst instead of him.
After Gerald stabbed Vanderhorst, he took off his T-shirt and dropped it on the floor, told Vanderhorst's girlfriend he loved her and left the house with no shirt, according to the report.
A witness told deputies he saw Gerald running near the house with no shirt on.
Both Vanderhorst and his girlfriend identified Gerald from photographic lineups, according to the arrest affidavit.
Charleston police arrested Gerald at Allway Street and Hagood Avenue Saturday and charged him with simple possession of marijuana.
He was served with a warrant for attempted murder at the Charleston County jail.

Average Customer Review5.0 (3 reviews)
Create an online reviewand share your thoughts with other customers
Things I liked:Very accurate from 50 - 25 - 10 yards. Gas Spring has little reverberation. From a benchrest, off a sand bag, CFX is a dream come true.
Things I would have changed:Size and weight. This is a big and heavy piece. It is not an off-hand shooter, without support. The breech lock is not cleaning friendly.
What others should know:The CFX is very powerful. It put a felt cleaning wad through the side of a cardboard box at 20 feet. This is an adult airgun and should be treated and repected as such.
Things I liked:The Venturi ram is great!! Rifle is well made!! Scope is good and it zeroed well. I can put 4 Beeman Crow Magnums (it shoots these best) in a 2" circle 10 meter airgun target @ 50 feet. Lots of power!!
Things I would have changed:I would have the safety engage automaticly when cocking. Maybe a different style of pellet seater and /or a magazine. A little better trigger
What others should know:This gun has lots of power and good accuracy. It weighs as much as a firearm and shoots well and is well made.
Things I liked:This rifle is very well balanced, and has a solid, comfortable feel to it. It is amazingly accurate out of the box. The feel of the gas spring is night & day when compared to a conventional spring. The recoil is very low, making it easier to follow through on shots. Definitely worth the money.
Things I would have changed:Nothing
What others should know:I am using a leapers 4-16 x 50mm scope and it slightly interferes with loading pellets. You can still load the rifle, it just gets in the way a little bit. I love everything else about this rifle.

Anytime, anywhere? It's alive and well with addition of USC, Oregon
COLLEGE STATION — Back when Wally Groff and R.C. Slocum were running the show at Texas A&M, they liked to claim that they would play anyone anytime, anywhere. That seemed like a pretty good philosophy in the old Southwest Conference, because playing a national power outside of the league was about the only way to […] [Read More]
Aggies add Southern Cal, Oregon to future football slates
COLLEGE STATION — Texas A&M is adding nonconference football series with Southern California and Oregon, Aggies athletic director Bill Byrne announced on Wednesday.

COLLEGE STATION — Deep in the bowels of Austin's Darrell K Royal-Memorial Stadium at Joe Jamail Field (did I forget any?), Texas A&M coach Mike Sherman made a promise to his players last Thanksgiving: "We will not go through this again." "This" was a 4-8 season, capped by a 40-point loss at rival Texas. So […] [Read More]
Slocum delivers speech to Aggies defense
COLLEGE STATION — Joe Kines and R.C. Slocum were born four months apart in 1944. The former is the current Texas A&M defensive coordinator.
