A La Jolla, California property owner is continuing a longer-than-a-decade battle to keep a portion of his property off-limits to the general public, citing safety concerns. The property in question sits at the base of Princess Street in La Jolla, and a gate that once allowed public access to the adjacent beach is a part of that property.
Beach access advocates claim that it's not right to bar access to the beach. The fight extends far beyond the current resident, however; it began in 1978.
The original construction
The property first belonged to Jane Baker, who built her home above the beach path. At the time, the construction of the gate and pathway to the beach was challenged in court, and no decision was reached about whether she was free to build her property on the land.
Before she moved away, Baker never signed a revised permit to allow public access, even though the California Coastal Committee (CCC) had reached a decision requiring public access once the pathway and gate's building permit was granted. When Baker left the property, she notified the next resident, Chris McKeller, that he should observe the CCC's requirement and allow access.
The lineage of legal issues
McKeller took ownership of the property in 1989, but he didn't allow public access to the beach through the gate. While he didn't fight the access requirement directly, he didn't do as Baker had advised and honor the CCC's mandate to keep the pathway open to the public.
In 1993 the current owner, Ure Kretowicz, acquired the property through a foreclosure. He has taken a dramatically different approach to the issue for the last decade, and choosing fought it head on.
However, Kretowicz claims that his concern is not primarily the property owner's rights, but the safety of people who would use the path. Others in the community seem to agree that the path is not safe.
Who has a right to what?
Beach access advocates are currently fighting to have the gate open to public access, and the current owner has fought this for more than a decade. It does raise an interesting question, not only for residents but for real estate professionals in the La Jolla area, as well as homeowners everywhere.
It even raises legal questions of national import of who has a right to what. The local judge has already cleared the way for the path to be opened, but if the property owner's safety concerns prove to be valid, will he be liable for injuries?
Does the public's right to gain access to beaches and other public land take priority over a homeowner's control of his property? Does a homeowner have the right to build on land that is under consideration as a potential site of government construction?
If the homeowner wins the legal battle, what will that mean for the future of public access cases? And if public-access advocates win, will that change other aspects of the rights of homeowners? Will it change how real estate is practiced and how properties are bought and sold?
These questions have all been stirred by the La Jolla beach access case. While the real estate in question is only one home in southern California, the precedent created when the case is finally settled could change home ownership (and the rights of homeowners) in California, and perhaps across the country.

How the gay marriage case will play out in the Appeals CourtAugust 25th, 2014 at 1:27 pm by Jim Shella under Jim Shella's Political Blog
The 7th Circuit Court of Appeals will hear arguments in the Indiana gay marriage case in a Chicago courtroom Tuesday morning beginning at 10:30 Indianapolis time.
There will be 20 minutes set aside for attorneys for same sex couples and another 20 minutes for the state. Solicitor General Thomas Fisher will make those arguments.
Then, both sides in a Wisconsin case will get the same opportunity.
A 3 judge panel that will be drawn from the 10 judges in the 7th Circuit will decide the case. 7 of them were appointed by Republican Presidents, 3 by Democrats.
Professor Joel Schumm of the I.U. McKinney School of Law says we won't know the identity of the panel members until 10 a.m.
"If all three of the judges are appointed by Democratic Presidents then the same sex couples should feel really confident." he said. "If it's not, if it's a mix. I don't think that"s going to necessarily determine the outcome."
That's because in other appeals judges appointed by Democrats have always ruled in favor of same sex marriages and those appointed by Republicans have split.
In the cases in other parts of the country it has taken about 2 and a half months to get a ruling.
"I suspect this'll be faster than that because the 7th Circuit's expedited the cases," says Schumm. "They've shortened the time for briefs to be filed. They've made it clear that they want to decide this pretty quickly, so I'd look for it within a few weeks."
If you want to listen in you can do so at https://www.ca7.uscourts.gov/.
No matter what happens look for the case to go to the Supreme Court and the ruling to be stayed in the meantime.

Nokia has started shipping its new N9 smartphones which are based on the MeeGo operating system. The phone has no physical buttons, and relies on the touch screen for navigation. The user interface has three home views: applications, events and live applications. According to Nokia, users will be able to download applications from Nokia Store.
The Finnish company announced in February that in future it plans to use Microsoft's Windows Phone, not MeeGo, as its primary operating system for smartphones.According to PCWorld, Nokia N9 is the company's "first and last MeeGo Phone". Nokia is expected to launch its first Windows Phone at the Nokia World conference on October 26, and the start shipping it before the end of the year.
- The Nokia N9 sets the bar for how natural technology can feel, and represents the first in a number of products from Nokia that will be brought to life in similar fashion." commented Ilari Nurmi, Vice President of Marketing, Nokia.
According to Nokia, the new phone comes in three colours, and estimated retail price of the Nokia N9 16GB and 64GB is approximately EUR 480 and EUR 560 before applicable taxes or subsidies, with pricing and availability varying from region to region and operator to operator.
The PCWorld writes that it is not clear which countries will receive the N9, or when, but Nokia gave consumers 24 countries the option to be informed once it becomes available. The list does not include the U.S., U.K., Japan, or India.

Joker Phillips held his final weekly press conference of the season on Monday as the Kentucky Wildcats begin preparations for a Senior Day matchup against the Tennessee Volunteers. Phillips talked about the matchup, the team's injury situation, and a number of other subjects, but here are a few of the biggest storylines from my point of view:
Trevathan playing his best football as career nears end
Danny Trevathan bore the weight of high expectations entering his senior season. Following a junior year that saw him lead the Southeastern Conference in tackles with 144, he knew he would be called upon to anchor the Wildcat defense in 2011.
Suffice it to say, he's lived up to the billing.
Once again, Trevathan leads the conference in tackles. With one game to play, he has tallied 135 stops, seven tackles for loss, five forced fumbles, four interceptions and three sacks. Moreover, his production has been otherworldly in his last four games, as he's made 17 tackles three times. He earned Co-Defensive Player of the Week honors in the SEC for his performance against Georgia, when he nearly rallied his team to an upset win with 17 tackles, three tackles for loss, two forced fumbles and a sack.
"He's just amazing to watch," Phillips said. "He alone willed the defense to play the way they played Saturday. We continue to tell them to come up to his level, and everyone on defense tried to play better than they were capable of. I think a lot of that had to do with the way Danny Trevathan played."
Middle linebacker Ronnie Sneed has had the luxury of playing next to Trevathan all season and he says the Georgia game isn't the only time Trevathan has inspired his teammates to perform at a higher level.
"It's been great," Sneed said. "Danny has become a really great friend of mine, not just on the football field, but off the football field. He's a great person. Playing beside him really helped elevate my game and I think it helped elevate a lot of people on the defense."
In spite of all he has accomplished, Trevathan was passed over when the Butkus Award, which recognizes the nation's top linebacker, selected 12 semi-finalists.
"It would be hard for me to find 12 better linebackers than Danny as far as production," Phillips said. "He's playing in a pretty good league, and the production that he has had the last two years, if he matches his last couple of weeks, we're talking a guy that could have over 150 tackles in this league in one season."
Trevathan spent his first two seasons primarily as an understudy to talented predecessors like Micah Johnson and Sam Maxwell, but has burst onto the scene as a junior and senior. His 279 tackles over the past two seasons have carried him into the top 10 in school history.
"Danny means a lot to this program, and most of his production has come in the last two years," Phillips said. "Watching the way he went about his business has been special."
Volunteers better than their record
With just a 5-6 record and one win in SEC play, Tennessee looks a team having a serious down year compared to what the Volunteers are accustomed to. Phillips, though, sees things differently.
"It's a really good Tennessee football team," Phillips said. "If you look at Tennessee's losses, they've lost to number 1, number 2, number 3, number 13, number 14, and then-number 16 Florida. So still a good football team."
Phillips also pointed out that the UT passing attack ranks second in the conference and is also benefiting from the return for Tyler Bray, who missed five weeks with a broken thumb before leading the Vols to a 27-21 victory in overtime over Vanderbilt. Bray has plenty of weapons with running back Tauren Poole, wide receiver/running back Raijon Neal and wide receiver Da'Rick Rogers, who leads the SEC in receiving.
On defense, Tennessee has faced the top seven scoring offenses in the conference, which skews their numbers a bit. Phillips called the Vols' front "really stout."
UK's goal to make a bowl game is now out of reach, but Phillips knows how much closing out 2011 with a win could mean.
"We haven't won our last game since 2009 in the Liberty Bowl," Phillips said. "And winning your last game does a lot for you in the off season. Also, we haven't beat Tennessee in a while. So I think that would fulfill another goal also."
Wildcats fighting through injuries
Bumps and bruises late in the season are inevitable, especially playing in a league as physical as the SEC, and UK is not immune. Here is an update on UK's injury situation.
- Safety Martavius Neloms will be getting the boot off his injured foot this week, but Phillips called him "doubtful."
- Defensive lineman Christian Coleman has an elbow injury but is expected to practice on Tuesday.
- Ridge Wilson missed the Georgia game with a shoulder injury and has been tending to a family illness the past two days. He will be evaluated Tuesday.
- Quarterback Max Smith and safety/linebacker Winston Guy are both "banged up" and will be limited in practice, but Phillips expects both to be available.
- Trevathan chipped a tooth against Georgia for the second time this season. His availability against Tennessee is not expected to be affected.

CORSICANA- Authorities say a teenager lived undetected at a 24-hour Wal-Mart in Texas for a couple of days after running away from his aunt's home.
Store employees in Corsicana, about 50 miles south of Dallas, eventually discovered the 14-year-old boy and two living quarters he had carved out behind boxes along the aisles of the store.
KTVT-TV in Dallas/Fort Worth reports the boy pilfered food and drinks from the store. He reportedly changed clothes periodically to avoid detection.
Corsicana police in a statement Wednesday say the boy was visiting his aunt in Corsicana when he ran away July 28. He was found two days later at the store.
Police say the teen, from nearby Rice, has a history of running away, tending to hide in abandoned homes and businesses.

Cooking and Baking
Turkey & brining question
My employer is kind enough every year to provide each employee a turkey for the thanksgiving holiday. I cook it every year and have always had good results but I am looking for great results and with all the talk over the last few years of brining I was going to give it a try this year. But I read somewhere that one should not brine a pre-frozen turkey, that there is already a mild brine solution on the bird. What are your guys thoughts on brining a pre-frozen, commercial processed bird.
Talk is closed, but that doesn't mean the conversations have to stop!

Work in Progress
West Virginia has made dramatic improvement in almost every offensive category this year. The Mountaineers have increased their scoring average from 25.2 points per game in 2010 to 36.8 this year.
Passing yardage has gone from an average of 213 yards per game in 2010 to 362.1 yards per game this season; total offense has been upped from an average of 372.7 yards per game in 2010 to this year's average of 479.4.
The same goes for average yards per pass, average yards per reception, so on and so forth.
However, first-year coach Dana Holgorsen admits the season has not been without its share of growing pains. Many of the guys he inherited are not fully suited to his style and there has also been some inconsistent play at several key spots.
Quarterback Geno Smith has performed well through 10 games (269 of 417 for 3,497 yards and 24 touchdowns with just five interceptions), but based on the way Holgorsen protégés Case Keenum and Brandon Weedon are now playing, there is still plenty of room for growth in Smith's game.
On Monday, Holgorsen was asked to compare the progress of this year's offense to his two previous stops at Houston and Oklahoma State.
"Slower," he admitted. "This is more how it was at Texas Tech in 2000 than it was when I went to Houston or Oklahoma State."
Holgorsen says the primary reason is because the offensive philosophies at Houston and Oklahoma State were much similar to his style than what he has encountered here so far at WVU.
"There were guys that were used to doing things similar to how we run them," Holgorsen said. "The personnel was in place to where we could handle that. We're not there offensively. It goes back to Texas Tech when we were changing a lot of philosophies and changing the way things were done offensively."
Despite the slow transition, West Virginia has still found a way to win football games, and never was that more apparent than last Saturday at Cincinnati. Despite 14 penalties and a big second half turnover on its side of the 50, West Virginia was able to overcome its difficulties and hold on for a 24-21 victory over a pretty good Bearcat team that was ranked 23rd in the country.
The fact that the Mountaineers were able to win a close game when their offense was not clicking on all cylinders was not lost on Holgorsen.
"The biggest thing is finding a way to win," he said. "I don't care where we're at offensively. It's about what we've got to do to win. We're not happy with the three losses, but it's better than four. We'll keep trying to get better and keep trying to figure out how to put our guys in position to win, which is ultimately the only thing that matters.
"Things will get easier and easier the longer we're here."
West Virginia's next opponent, Pitt, has also undergone some growing pains with first-year coach Todd Graham. Like Holgorsen, Graham wants to run an entertaining, past-paced attack.
All summer in television commercials we heard Graham talk in his Texas twang about the high-octane offense he planned to use this year. Now because of injuries, inexperience and mismatched personnel, the first-year coach has slowed things down quite a bit. As of late, however, the Panthers are performing much better.
Pitt (5-5) is coming off a big 21-14 victory at Louisville last Saturday that has put the Panthers back into contention for the Big East title with games remaining at West Virginia on Nov. 25 and at home against Syracuse on Dec. 3.
What a week ago looked like a meaningless Backyard Brawl has now taken on added importance. The path to this year's Big East championship could once again run through Morgantown and that's why ESPN chose to move the game to 7 p.m. instead of the 11 a.m. time slot now occupied by Louisville-South Florida.
Holgorsen and Graham know each other well from their days in Conference USA, their teams having been involved in some offensive shootouts the last couple of years. Both were brought in to energize their respective fan bases with high-scoring attacks.
But like Graham, Holgorsen admits he's had to ease off the accelerator a little bit in order to make sure his players can keep up.
"I've changed a lot about how we call plays and how fast we call them," Holgorsen said. "There are times that we try to change it up and try to catch people off guard. I know that Pitt coach Todd Graham has the same philosophy as far as what he's done for the last three years and what he's trying to put in. He's dealing with the same thing that I am as far as changing up what it used to be."
It should all add up to another interesting West Virginia-Pitt game.

The Igloo® Story
Igloo began in 1947 as a small metalworking shop with two employees. The company produced metal water coolers designed to replace wooden drinking buckets used by construction workers, oilfield workers and longshoremen on the docks. Evolving to insulated, all-plastic water coolers in 1965, these water coolers soon became the cooler of choice on the job site. To this day, Igloo remains the leading supplier of beverage coolers for worksite hydration. Through a series of joint ventures, mergers and acquisitions, the Igloo brand and company grew, and the first rectangular ice chest - a 22-quart metal unit with plastic liner - was produced in 1960. By 1962, the company had grown to 73 employees and in that same year offered the first all-plastic ice chest - initially sold only to beer manufacturers. In 1963, Oshman's Sporting Goods in Houston became the first retailer to offer the plastic cooler to consumers - a resounding success…and the rest is history! The Giant Sea Chest, a 155-quart plastic cooler, made its debut in 1967 and quickly became a bestseller with Gulf Coast fisherman. This success launched Igloo into the marine channel where the company remains the leading supplier today.Continuing to lead in innovation, Igloo introduced the iconic "tent-top" Playmate® personal-size cooler in 1971, and by this time had grown to a company of 433 employees. Even today, the Playmate remains a consumer favorite. The innovation continued. Igloo launched the first wheeled cooler, the Cool Roller®, in 1994; the patented "cube-shaped" cooler design, the Ice Cube™, in 2003; and furniture-grade wood patio coolers in 2006 - just to name a few. In March of 2014, ACON, a Washington, D.C.-based private equity firm, purchased Igloo from J.H. Whitney, which will maintain a small stake in the Company. Now 850 employees strong, Igloo world headquarters is a 1.4 million square foot facility located in Katy, Texas. Offering over 500 different products, Igloo coolers are sold by more than 250 retailers around the world.Today, Igloo remains the #1 cooler manufacturer worldwide and continues to enhance and develop new products each year to meet the needs of our consumers.

Spotlight: Rayland Van Blake '98: Quenching a thirst for fame
Legend has it that Lana Turner was discovered while sitting at a soda fountain. Lehigh alum Rayland Van Blake '98 may very well have been discovered while asking for directions to a water fountain.
Van Blake was wandering around on the set of "All My Children" on his first day in the small role of "Officer Jeters" when he walked up to Michael Bruno to ask for directions to the nearest water fountain. Bruno just so happens to be one of the biggest daytime talent managers in the industry.
"He (Bruno) immediately called the AMC casting director to inquire about me and to have me get in touch with him once he got back to LA. I was called in by 'One Life to Live' to audition, and shortly after, I was given the part of 'Bartender' on the set that was called 'Upscale Nightclub.' I only had one line, but they booked me for several more episodes. After that 'Bartender' became 'Charlie' and 'Upscale Nightclub' became 'Xanadu,' and my lines continued to increase."
Before the water fountain, Van Blake got his first acting break at Lehigh's Diamond Theater. While majoring in finance, Van Blake was also active in school productions, playing multiple characters in "Bound and Unbound," MacHeath in "A Threepenny Opera," and Bono in "Fences."
"My roles at Lehigh prepared me (to be a professional actor) in that they helped me explore myself as a performer and gave me experience in learning how to become truly connected and grounded within the characters that I had to portray," he says. "To learn how to play from a place of truth within yourself is probably the hardest task to achieve as an actor. I also learned to make strong choices and take risks, both which have stayed with me."
After graduating and before entering acting full-time, Van Blake worked for both Citibank and Deutsche Bank. When he was laid off from Deutsche Bank, he used his severance package and income from investment properties he owns to financially support himself so he could pursue his dream of becoming a full-time actor.
Besides acting Van Blake is also passionate about politics. He is on the City Council in Plainfield, NJ. "I was elected in 2002, running an underfunded grass roots campaign against a 16 year incumbent. I won the election by a margin of 2 to 1." He is currently Councilman First Ward and will become President of the Council in 2006.
Whether through politics or on stage, Van Blake's goal is to touch people. "With so much out there in the entertainment industry, I would like to use my craft to touch people, whether that means making them laugh or cry; but I also want to be known for the things I do off camera or screen to help people and give back."

Research, Development and Recent Patents on Aerodynamic Surface Circulation Control - A Critical Review
Harijono Djojodihardjo and Naveeyindren Thangarajah
Department of Aerospace Engineering, Universiti Putra Malaysia, 43400 UPM Serdang, Selangor Darul Ehsan, Malaysia.
The ever increasing demand for better performance of aircraft aerodynamics, from the fundamental understanding of flight, requires enhanced circulation. Circulation Control and hence its enhancement can be achieved by surface blowing in the form of Coand jet and have always been referred to in the consideration of various flow control methods to enhance aerodynamic performance, along with continuous, synthetic and pulsed jets, compliant surface, vortex-cell, and the like. Coanda jet has also been applied in the development of novel aircrafts for short takeoff, while another circulation enhancement technique known as Trapped Vortex Cavity (TVC) is currently being given significant considerations. It is with such motivation that salient features, progress and development of various techniques in circulation control are here identified, including some of the recent inventions that have been registered as patents in this area. The present work reviews the influence, effectiveness and configuration of airfoil surface blowing of Circulation Enhancement and Control of aerodynamic surfaces. The crux of the TVC active research is their stabilization, while Coanda enhanced lift enhancement technique has, to a certain extent reached a stage that it can be easily implemented with advantage.

The Berserkers Pre-Season Experiment: Cheeseheads & Beer
By Marcus "Mookie Vike" Anderson
There were only two Cheeseheads in the entire Metrodome on Saturday Night for the Viking's preseason game vs. the Saints and they were sitting with the 205 Berserkers as invited guests.
As it was for the Vikings, it was Berserker's first game of the pre-season, and many of the regulars sat out for the first games tailgate festivities. Bowing out weeks in advance were Stier, Saueey, Hagen, Lil Schmidty, and Big Schmidty. Although their presence would be sorely missed, the Berserker regulars were confident that their "tailgating system" which had been implemented over the past few years would allow their replacements to showcase their skills and have the best tailgating experience of their careers.
The chore of putting together the replacement team fell onto Rocky and Mook, who noted that the task would be like casting for MTV's Real World, or CBS's Survivor. "We tried to invite interesting and controversial characters that would maximize the tailgating experience on Washington Avenue for this Vikings pre-season game," noted Rocky. Knowing that the familiar Watertown, SD 205 Berserkers Chapter of Steve and Chester would be driving in via a stop at Mankato, MN, Rocky and Mook put together a team of rag-tag partiers that would surround the core of regulars and carry the Berserker torch for the pre-season.
"Clearly, we had to find guys that would work within our system," added Mook, "So just like Dennis Green who went out and got the Packers Offensive and Defensive coordinators last off-season, we went after some strangely familiar talent to co-host our party."
They invited Norms Softball player Johnny "J-Rock" Rogers who was invited once last year as a replacement but unable to attend. J-Rock has been a life-long Viking fan with direct ties to former Viking WR Sam McCullum. Then, much like the controversial Coach of the Purple, the Berserkers went into enemy territory and recruited two Packer fans, Wales and Paulie from St. Paul Park.
"It's not like they don't know no our partying style," commented Mook, "I have been going to their house to party for the Viking-Packer game at Lambeau for the last five years! They know me, I know them, so the system should allow them to be just fine."
Pregame Tailgate:
With the planning finalized, the big day arrived. We started the day out with a cookout at Berserker HQ in Eagan, MN with Ellen prepping all the pre-game meal amenities, including tailgate favorites such as brats, corn-on-the-cob, potato salad, and homemade candy bars. Stomachs full, we headed over to the Valley Lounge Bar in Eagan, MN to meet the Cheeseheads and J-Rock.
We were greeted at the Valley Lounge with a friendly taunt of "Vikings Suck!" from Packer Paulie, and somehow, one just knew that this would be a day of testing and challenge for the Berserkers friendly "tailgating system!" We chucked down a couple pitchers of Premo at the Valley, packed our coolers and tailgate chairs into to two SUV's and headed on down to the Metrodome.
We arrived at Tailgate Central around 3 pm and joined several Vikings fans who had already made their way to the stadium tailgate lot on Washington Avenue. The beer started flowing, and the Packer Boys stuck out like green albinos in a sea of purple. Needless to say, the sore-thumbs were easy targets for Viking passerby's.
"Are you guys lost? … Lambeau is that way!… Packers Suck…Why are you here?…" and several other random taunts were thrown at our guests, who responded admirably to the harassment. For the first part of day both Packer Paulie and Wales took several verbal jibes and held their ground.
"Hey you guys ever heard of armchair quarterbacks?" Wales would ask the taunters, "Well we're just armchair tailgaters checking out the enemy territory to see if your partying is up to standard and that you guys are still worth playing." Wales seemed pretty skilled in diffusing the purple lament with his sense of humor. Meanwhile, Paulie won the favor of some Viking fans by playing catch with their sons for several hours.
Probably the most instense confrontation between our Packer guests and Viking fans came in the line of the Porto Potties. Wales, Paulie and Mook had all walked over the restrooms together. As they stood in the line four Viking women surrounded Paulie and began heckling him like a kid wearing Kmart clothes in and Edina kindergarten It might have helped his cause if he had remembered the score or at least opposition of the previous nights Packer preseason victory, but as it turned out the women caught him off-guard with their queries, chewing him up and spitting him out with their venomous purple attack.
We tailgated for nearly 4 hours, talking about the past years and new expectations of '00. J-Rock caught the eye of KSTP Channel 5 reporters and was filmed playing catch with a kid. He made is Berserker appearance on local TV later that evening when they ran the segment about tailgaters outside the Metrodome.
Because Chester and Steve had driven up earlier in the week and stopped off to visit the Vikings at Training Camp, we were getting a first hand scouting report of what to expect during the game. Chester told us that we could expect to see some nice wrinkles in the offense, "You gotta see Daunte running the option," he boasted, tipping us off on some new plays in the Viking Playbook. Steve shared with us the insight on how the defensive backs are expected to practice, and commented on how slack Mitch Berger and Gary Anderson had it in comparison to the rest of the team.
Before you knew it, it was time for the early faction to enter the stadium.
Game Notes:
The Packer Boys and Mook (as the late-late faction), arrived at the game in time to see the Viking's first drive. Many in attendance at the game had been saying all along that the only part of the game they cared about was the first half, anxious to see the new players; Daunte, Hovan, Bryce Paup and Tyrone Carter.
Mook's Favorite plays:
· Chester's Option call. Yes, the Dakota Kid was correct, Daunte called an option and actually ran the ball for a good 15 yards. We were impressed with his speed and confidence throughout the game, but this run was a Berserker favorite play.
· Randy Moss, taking the short pass deep. Right on, the kid attacked the sideline after a great run, and lunged for the end zone. I love the guts he showed after the long dash.
· Daunte's bruisng burst toward the end zone, in the same spot on the field where last year Jeff George just laid down like a pansie.
· Jim Kleinsasser's Toucdown. Move over Boom Boom Brown, there's a new Bruiser in the HOUSE!
· Orlando Thomas' interception flashed me back to his healthy years
Game Disappointments:
· I was disappointed with was the lack of a pass rush. We had nobody putting pressure on anyone! I don't recall seeing a sack, and Hovan did nothing to impress me at all. I want him to do well…
· Jake Reed, wrong team, Touchdown after further review…
· The final score 25-24, Viking loss. I know it's meaningless, but we did dominate every stat. The Vikes comitted 3 fumbles, and 1 interception, AND THE KILLER… a blocked punt…
As was stated, we only really paid attention to the first half score with the Vikings winning 14-10.
Post Game Tailgate:
The Packer Boys celebrated the Vikings defeat to the deaf ears of their 205 Berserker hosts. They kept rubbing in the fact that the Vikings lost the game on a last second field goal. The parking lot cleared out pretty fast, and other than some track sprint challenges from our neighbors in the parking lot, there was no real post-game athletics. There was no boxing, or long toss, or bonfires of the vanities, just plain old beer consumption and conversation. The lost art of tailgating was back for another season.
Roll Call:
Steve, Chester, Paulie, J-Rock, Whales, Rocky, Mook, Lil Buddy, Notre Dame Dan,
Grades: B- The tailgating was fun, but the Vikes lost the game. Not a lot of swearing or concern, but plenty of high fives and praise about Daunte Culpepper and Moss. No food at the tailgate, just chips and beer.
MVP: J-Rock, who got on TV wearing the Korey Stringer jersey in his first Berserker experience.
"VIKINGS SUCK!" Packer Paulie, several times, most notably the first and last words out of his mouth at the beginning of the day and the end of the evening…
"The cool thing about the first pre-season game is that you get to see what everybody got for Christmas last year." Brent
"Are you kidding? Is he F'n Nuts?" Lil Buddy's comments to Rocky when he was told that Mook was bringing in 2 Packer fans to sit with the 205 Berserkers.
"At least this one likes Harleys" Viking Girl commenting to Wales the Packer fan in the line at the Porto Potty.
"Do you want me to slap the yellow off your tooth?" J-Rock response to the taunting of Packer Paulie after the game!
"I could never thank you enough ,if hadn't said it enough, I'll say it again ' thanks bro, thanks for bringing us to this game.' This has been one of the best times of my LIFE!" A very grateful Wales
"The main thing is to try and get better. We went out and played well, but I think we had too many mistakes. Down the road it will hurt us if we don't get better. The bottom line is we need to get better. I have to get better and everybody has to get better." Daunte Culpepper commenting on the 205 Berserker Tailgating antics

Gender studies
An interdisciplinary approach to the study of gender, sexual categories, and identity. As a discipline, gender studies borrows from other theoretical models like psychoanalysis—particularly that of Jacques Lacan—deconstruction, and feminist theory in an attempt to examine the social and cultural constructions of masculinity and femininity as they relate to class, race, ethnicity, and sexuality. Like gender studies, queer theory also questions normative definitions of gender and sexuality. As approaches to literary texts, gender studies and queer theory tend to emphasize the power of representation and linguistic indeterminacy.
A poetic movement in England during the reign of George V (1910–1936), promoted in the anthology series Georgian Poetry. Its ranks included Rupert Brooke, Siegfried Sassoon, Walter de la Mare, Robert Graves, A.E. Housman, and D.H. Lawrence. The aesthetic principles of Georgianism included a respect for formalism as well as bucolic and romantic subject matter. The devastation of World War I, along with the rise of modernism, signaled the retreat of Georgianism as an influential school of poetry. Browse more Georgian poets.
(Pronounciation: "guzzle") Originally an Arabic verse form dealing with loss and romantic love, medieval Persian poets embraced the ghazal, eventually making it their own. Consisting of syntactically and grammatically complete couplets, the form also has an intricate rhyme scheme. Each couplet ends on the same word or phrase (the radif), and is preceded by the couplet's rhyming word (the qafia, which appears twice in the first couplet). The last couplet includes a proper name, often of the poet's. In the Persian tradition, each couplet was of the same meter and length, and the subject matter included both erotic longing and religious belief or mysticism. English-language poets who have composed in the form include Adrienne Rich, John Hollander, and Agha Shahid Ali; see Ali's "Tonight" and Patricia Smith's "Hip-Hop Ghazal."
Browse more ghazal poems.
Gnomic verse
Poems laced with proverbs, aphorisms, or maxims. The term was first applied to Greek poets in the 6th century BCE and was practiced in medieval Germany and England. See excerpts from the Exeter Book. Robert Creeley explored the genre in his contemporary "Gnomic Verses."

Description of Research ExpertiseResearch Interests
- Molecular mechanisms of axon growth and guidance during nervous system development.
- How axon guidance receptors specify attractive and repulsive signals and transmit these signals to the navigating growth cone.

- Transcriptional Regulation of Neuronal Morphogenesis
- Generation of Neuronal Diversity
Key words: Axon guidance, developmental neuroscience, Slit, Robo, Netrin.
Description of Research
How axons in the developing nervous system successfully navigate to their correct targets is a fundamental problem in neurobiology. Understanding the mechanisms that mediate axon guidance will give important insight into how the nervous system is correctly wired during development and may have implications for therapeutic approaches to developmental brain disorders and nerve regeneration. Achieving this understanding will require unraveling the molecular logic that ensures the proper expression and localization of axon guidance cues and receptors, and elucidating the signaling events that regulate the growth cone cytoskeleton in response to guidance receptor activation.
The Slit ligand and Roundabout (Robo) receptors, and the Netrin ligand and DCC/UNC5 receptors are two important evolutionary conserved ligand/receptor systems that contribute to proper connectivity in both the vertebrate and invertebrate nervous systems. These molecules are also known to influence neuronal and mesodermal cell migration, suggesting that determining their function may have broad implications for understanding diseases of nervous system development, many of which have their root in defective cell migration and/or axon guidance. The research in my laboratory addresses the dynamics of axon guidance receptor expression and signaling, and exploits the powerful genetic and molecular approaches available in Drosophila.

text: PHOENIX -- Suns center Marcin Gortat always has preferred his original national-team nickname, "Polish Machine," over the catchier "Polish Hammer" moniker that stuck publicly. It might be more of who he is — more methodical than overpowering. When his tap finish came up short to tie the score at Toronto or when he puts up any shot near the rim with touch rather than force, it can draw the ire of many for him to finish stronger. He opened Friday's game with a dunk but then missed his other four first-quarter shots.

Marshall soccer complex progressing
HUNTINGTON -- Construction on Marshall University's new soccer complex and the neighboring Veterans Memorial Park are moving swiftly.
Work on the roughly $8 million complex in the 2500 block of 5th Avenue officially started last summer, when the old Veterans Memorial Field House was demolished. The ground work for the stadium got underway late in 2012. Since last week, crews have been rolling the turf, with that part of the work scheduled for completion within two weeks. Crews also started putting back up the concrete veterans marker that adorned the outside of the Field House. That should be fully installed by the end of the week.
The new complex will be about 12,000 square feet in size, with a 500-square-foot press box, about 1,000 seats and a 47-space parking lot. The facility is to include coaches' offices, locker rooms, a concession area and ticket offices. It is scheduled for completion in early August, with the first game to be held by the end of that month.
Veterans Memorial Park is located on the northeast corner of the property, with the space part of the agreement in the Park District selling the former Field House property. Marshall also gave the Park District $100,000 to build the park.
Park District Executive Director Kevin Brady said if the weather cooperates, the park could be open for Memorial Day weekend.

WASHINGTON, May 13, 2007 Four servicemembers who recently returned from deployments to remote sites in Iraq and Afghanistan were recognized May 10 for their efforts in boosting their fellow troops' morale.
SemperComm, a nonprofit group founded to boost the morale of troops deployed to remote duty posts, presented its SemperComm Award to four servicemembers who promoted morale, welfare and recreation projects at their posts.
This year's winners were:
-- Marine 1st Sgt. Kevin Conboy, who returned home in March after serving for six months with C Company, 2nd Light Armored Reconnaisance Battalion in Iraq's Anbar province;
-- Marine Staff Sgt. Christopher Wright, a reservist who just returned from a 10-month deployment to Iraq with Marine Corps 4th Civil Affairs Group, Detachment 4;
-- Navy Lt. Marc Soss, a reservist who recently returned from a seven-month deployment to Camp Clark, Afghanistan, where he served as morale, welfare and recreation program manager; and
-- Army Capt. Wayne Keeler, who served with the National Police Transition Team at Forward Operating Base Union 3 in Baghdad.
Retired Navy Rear Adm. Jay Foley, former commander of Naval Surface Force, U.S. Atlantic Fleet, and a member of the awards selection committee, praised the troops for helping improve the quality of life at their bases. Many, he noted, lacked basic communications, entertainment and recreation support that larger military facilities enjoy.
Conboy, for example, managed his company's morale and welfare program, making sure all 500-plus members were well-stocked with "things we all take for granted" such as socks, gloves, soap, shampoo, snacks and newspapers, Foley said.
He worked some of his "supply magic" during Christmastime, ensuring more than 500 care packages from home arrived on time. "All I did was ask, and the American people did all the rest," Conboy said, shrugging.
He also installed a new computer system to enable Marines to send e-mails and call home.
Wright, a reservist from Loveland, Colo., earned the nickname "combat plumber" by putting his engineering skills and muscles to work after every duty day to repair and upgrade plumbing at the Al Anbar Government Center, Foley said.
The facility, used as a routine stopping point for transiting Marines needing a hot meal, shower and a few hours of downtime, had poor shower and sanitary facilities before Wright turned things around, Foley said.
"Using a pick ax and a shovel and any other tools he could muster, Staff Sergeant Wright worked for an additional five to six hours nearly every evening, repairing broken plumbing, replacing fixtures and adding new facilities so his fellow Marines could actually rest and recharge while at Al Anbar," he said.
Soss, a reservist from Bradenton, Fla., "worked double-time" to ensure troops at his post had access to recreational opportunities, Foley said. He organized marathons and pool parties, set up a 20-person gymnasium, arranged safe transport, food and lodging to take troops to road races at other bases, set up weekly power tournament nights and developed a base communications system so troops could contact home.
Soss also coordinated a fundraiser for the Landstuhl Regional Medical Center's Wounded Warrior Program that enables wounded troops to leave the hospital periodically for recreation and entertainment, Foley said.
Keeler, the only awardee not present at last night's gala and awards ceremony, applied his skills as a cabinet maker, along with his "innate ability to negotiate deals for supplies and needed equipment," to become an invaluable member of his team, Foley said.
After his normal duties training Iraqi police recruits, Keeler built furniture and extensively renovated the local facilities with leftover lumber and power tools he purchased himself, Foley noted.
He built a loft for his roommate, a set of desks and other furniture for the command's operations center and a large outdoor patio, complete with barbecue. In addition, Keeler put a roof over a small outdoor plaza to create a mess and entertainment room, complete with tiered seating so troops could watch movies and sporting events stadium-style.
Conboy said serving at a remote post makes troops realize how much they miss the comforts of home.
"We live in a real sugar-cookie society that's nice and clean and has sprinkles on it," he said. "When you go to the Third World, you feel like you're on the dark side of the moon. You really miss the things you took for granted."
Foley said this year's SemperComm Award winners worked "tirelessly above and beyond the scope of the regular assignment" to help improve conditions at their posts.
"These are the selfless ones, nominated by their units and peers," he said. "Their contributions have inspired and encouraged those with whom they served in Iraq and Afghanistan."
SemperComm Foundation Executive Director Lara Coffee praised the winners' efforts to boost morale for deployed troops in remote sites.
"The SemperComm Award winners find ways to keep their comrades' spirits up while they're stationed so far away from home," she said.
"They exemplify service – the kind of service SemperComm itself provides," she said. "Our award winners work hard to keep unit morale up, which is essential for our uniformed men and women, especially as duty tours continue to get longer."
Lara called good morale a key to ensuring troops stay safe and the mission gets accomplished. "Keeping spirits high helps military personnel stay focused on the job at hand and get home safely," she said.
SemperComm is a partner in the Defense Department's America Supports You program. The program showcases the myriad efforts of private citizens, schools, churches, corporations and other groups to show support for the men and women in uniform.

The famed climate change expert has been invited by Shap Smith to address the full Legisalture. According to the release:
Speaker of the House Shap Smith invites Environmental Activist Bill McKibben to speak to Legislature about Climate Change
Speaker of the House Shap Smith has invited renowned author, environmentalist, and activist Bill McKibben to the State House on January 30th to address climate change as it relates to Vermont and upcoming legislation.
Bill McKibben is known nationally to be an advocate for action in response to the changing environment. He has written a dozen books about the environment and is a founder of the grassroots climate campaign 350.org. The Boston Globe said in 2010 that he was "probably the country's most important environmentalist." He currently serves as a Schumann Distinguished Scholar at Middlebury College.
Speaker Smith has prioritized climate change as one of the most important challenges facing the state. "The threat of global climate change and the implication that it is having and will have on Vermonters and Vermont businesses must be addressed," said Speaker Smith, "Bill McKibben offers expertise and a robust understanding of the challenges we face as well as the steps that can move us forward in reducing and eliminating carbon-dependent energy use. I am pleased to welcome him to the State House to address the issue with the legislature."
Bill McKibben will speak to the legislature in the House Chamber at 1:00pm on Wednesday the 30th.

Adidas' latest commercial has the Redskins' Robert Griffin III saying "blow it all up…because all that matters is what you do next."
I love the sentiment of this commercial. Essentially he is saying it doesn't matter what you have done in the past, what matters is what you do in the future. It doesn't matter that Griffin took the league by storm, won rookie of the year, or lead the Redskins to winning the NFC East championship and to the playoffs. I like that he is not going to dwell on what he has already done and focus on what is next.
At the very end of the video, the tag line is "all in for week 1″.
This ad should put Redskins fans through the entire range of emotions. Excitement, thinking about having RGIII back for week 1. Pride, knowing your quarterback is a legit leader and is going to do everything he can to get back out on the field. Sadness, just being reminded of his injury. Happy thoughts that he will make a full recovery. And of course, fear. As a DC sports fan, all I can think about when I hear how hard Robert is pushing his surgically repaired knee is this. I know he is under watchful eyes, I just can't help but have that thought somewhere in the back of my mind.
With that being said, the video is awesome and it is great for motivational purposes. It made me want to get up and go run laps or workout. Let's just hope that Griffin has a speedy, and more importantly, full recovery whether or not he is back by week 1 or mid-season next year.
And this is a comforting tweet from RGIII to help quell some of those fears:

So today is Photography Friday and it's usually where I share tips and tricks and any recent photoshoots but since the past two weekends have been either too busy or too rainy to take any photo's, today is another slightly random post, although it is still photography related and there are a couple of my beachy photos thrown in the mix too, I can't totally let you down! ;)
I'm actually just about dying for it will stop raining long enough for me to take some more shots! I have a cool idea for a photoshoot at a local park amongst all the Autumn colour and I've been asked by my boss (eek!) if I would take some shots of her and her young daughter...better not mess those up! Luckily my boss is more of friend and mentor than a scary BOSS so I'd love to create some great memories for her family, but the pressure is still on, because I'm pretty hard on myself!
It's been really quite amazing what happens when people hear that you're into photography or somehow come across your photo's on facebook or through a link someone's sent them and I have to say it's been really cool! I've even been offered payment for a couple of shoots and it just seems so crazy since I'm still so new to photography!
|That little strip of land in the distance is Rangitoto Island, it's a volcano that erupted quite violently a very long time ago, I don't think it's due for another eruption anytime soon, but I always think about it when I see it!
I do feel nervous about accepting paid jobs right now because if people are paying me I feel like they have certain expectations that I may or may not be able to meet. I certainly don't expect payment from family and friends and until I am more experienced I don't know if getting paid by anyone is the right thing to do and if it is I have no idea how much people would want to pay and they're asking me what I charge!
Has anyone else been in this situation or even something remotely similar? If you have a view on this at all, I'd love to hear it! Email me if you'd rather not write a comment, my address is on my About Me page.
Ugh, I'm just so happy it's Friday so I can quit thinking and just relax! I'm being whisked off to a romantic dinner on Saturday night, hubby and I are going to one of our favourite local restaurants and I also really want to go and watch 'The Hunger Games' at the cinema at some point this weekend too, has anyone seen it yet? Any good??
Okay, I'm signing off, have a great weekend girls! I'll be back next week hopefully after having taken some kind of photos, I'm getting withdrawal from my camera and Photoshop haha, don't forget to enter my digital scrapbooking and photo album Giveaway, entries are open to all countries until next Tuesday when the lucky winner will be drawn!
|Saturday night will be dinner here at Windross House right next
to our fave local beach, I wrote a post about the beach here, it's gorgeous! :)
Talk to you all soon...

The Rhetoric and Writing concentration in the English Department at the University of Texas at Austin is a prestigious doctoral program with an excellent placement rate, numerous alumni ranked among the leaders of the discipline, an engaged, collegial, and productive faculty, and a broad range of teaching and administrative opportunities for students.
The faculty, one of the largest and most productive in North America, has particular strength in composition theory, history of rhetoric, ethnic and gendered discourse, digital literacies, discourse analysis, literacy, pedagogy, and rhetorical theory.
Seminars in rhetoric and writing include a mix of history, theory, and application, as illustrated in the list of previous offerings. Students regularly supplement their coursework in rhetoric with related courses in the departments of anthropology, classics, computer science, education, linguistics, philosophy, and speech communication. Distinguished faculty in the core program and these supporting disciplines lend the Texas rhetoric concentration an unequalled scope and strength.
In any given year, about 15 graduate students are pursuing degrees in the specialization. What's more, students specializing in other areas of English studies regularly draw upon the rich resources of the program in their coursework and their projects. As illustrated by the profiles of current students, students in Rhetoric and Writing write dissertations relying on a variety of methods--discourse analysis, ethnography, quantitative, textual analysis on topics in history, theory, and practice (community, pedagogical, political).
Students gain experience in planning and administering writing programs by teaching writing courses for the Department of Rhetoric and Writing (DRW) and serving as consultants in the Undergraduate Writing Center (UWC).
Students with an interest in writing technology frequently teach in state-of-the-art networked-computer classrooms belonging to the Digital Writing and Research Lab (DWRL). The DWRL has a long history of innovative research and development. Graduate students assigned to research or staff positions in the DWRL have opportunities to carry out research on hypertext/hypermedia and literature, multi-media applications in literature and film, and other forms of electronic textuality.
The Rhetoric and Writing concentration has an excellent placement history. Our alumni are among the leaders of the discipline, deeply involved in scholarship, innovative teaching and national policies on writing instruction.

Yeovil Town's good value for first win of season
Posted: August 20, 2014|
Yeovil Town's first Sky Bet League One goals of the season were rewarded with their first three points at Walsall.
The much-improved Glovers were worthy of their 2-1 victory at the Bescot Stadium, more resolute in defence and more fluid in attack. The Saddlers managed to cancel out James Hayter's opener but stayed on level terms for just a minute before Kevin Dawson restored the buffer.
Gary Johnson made two changes to the side defeated by Gillingham on Saturday, Sam Foley replacing Nathan Ralph and James Hayter coming in for Kieffer Moore.
Walsall nearly edged an even opening on six minutes when the impressive Liam Kinsella picked out the run of Paul Downing to the far post, the untracked centre half heading wide. Four minutes later Hayter raced on to Joe Edwards' sublime through ball, lashing beyond the target as the angle became too tight.
On 17 minutes Malvind Benning sprung the offside trap and got behind Yeovil on their right hand side, crossing for Ashley Grimes who, running at pace, lacked composure and scuffed wide. Nathan Smith's rampaging run on 21 minutes left Romaine Sawyers in his wake. His low cross was just out of reach for Foley and Hayter, AJ Leitch-Smith inches away sliding in at the far post.
Grimes did well to control a 32nd minute left wing cross, turning and stinging the hands of Chris Weale as the Glovers looked on, flat-footed. Moments later Dean Holden met a corner but nodded just over. On 44 minutes Jakub Sokolik timed to perfection a sliding challenge on the edge of the box only to be penalised with a free kick. Andy Taylor's set piece beat Weale but crept wide.
Seconds before the break Sawyers broke the offside trap only to inexplicably drag wide with just the keeper to beat, Tom Bradshaw then clean through but denied by Ben Nugent's urgent back-tracking.
Six minutes after the break Edwards accelerated to the edge of the area but hammered high and wide.
The Glovers broke the deadlock on 56 minutes thanks to a fantastic move. Dawson's clipped cross picked out Hayter who craned his neck to get above the ball and head back beyond keeper Richard O'donnell. Walsall levelled on 72 minutes as sustained pressure was justly rewarded while punishing shaky Yeovil defending. When the visitors could not clear a corner, Bradshaw bundled in from close range.
However, parity lasted barely 60 seconds. Smith's exquisite cross found Dawson, the Irishman thumping back across goal with Leitch-Smith getting away with a suspected handball as the ball had fractionally crossed the line. The Glovers received a massive let off in the 89th minute when only the referee thought Walsall were undeserving of a penalty.
Substitute Amadou Bakayoko was shoved to the ground by Smith but the office waved play on.
Six minutes of added time gave Walsall late hope, Yeovil managed to hold on with 186 travelling fans in fine voice at the final whistle.
Walsall (4-2-3-1) – O'donnell; Kinsella, Downing, Holden, Taylor; Clifford (Morris, 78), Chambers; Grimes, Sawyers (Bakayoko, 83), Benning (Forde, 63); Bradshaw. Unused subs: Baxendale, MacGillivray, Flanagan, Rowley.
Goals: Bradshaw 73.

NICA's Approach
Many charities are caught in a cycle of asking for donations and giving handouts without making sustainable change. The cycle creates dependency. NICA's vision focuses on responsible charity that restores dignity and hope in rural communities.
NICA's mission focuses on five key areas to improve the sustainability of the communities where we work:
Our vision compels us to develop initiatives around each of these areas in an effort to propel the rural communities to the global stage of inclusion. We believe this is the only way the people we serve will have an opportunity to transcend poverty.
Supporters and volunteers with NICA can expect to witness impact in each of these areas when participating with our organization.
As an example,
- every $25 donated employs a person in our Community Development Program for one month
- every week a volunteer works with us provides 800 school lunches which keeps kids educated.
Interested in being part of the change? Enroll in our volunteer abroad program today or support us with a donation!

text: I'd been brought to the hospital in wrist shackles. In a van marked CHAU CO WOMEN'S DET CT. In a shapeless gray smock, bare legs and laceless sneakers. They'd taken away the laces because I was on suicide watch at the detention center but I would never hang myself with shoelaces!—that's got to be a joke. I would never hang myself in any way, it's an ugly death. I've been close to strangled and I know.Also: the shock of somebody finding the hanging body is too great. You can't inflict that kind of ugliness on an innocent bystander.O.K.: maybe I did try to poke myself with a fork smuggled back to my cell after supper one night. My head was hurting and word was, I could almost hear the whispering, my life was over anyway. Dog-girl! Dog-girl! Dog-girl! but when I'd look around, all their eyes were turned away. There's a guard, happened to be a black woman, stands by the door of the dining hall overseeing a big plastic bucket and you drop your used fork and spoon inside, no knives of course, and this guard has got to be alert and cagey but it's a boring post and naturally her thoughts wander. I'd slip into her head through her glazey eyes and saw the shuffling lines of us, gray smocks, battered faces and scared eyes, a leakage of pity and disgust and a numbness so I knew the guard wasn't alert to me, a tall downlooking sallow-faced white girl and I carried out the fork in a crease of my skirt.Just to get a vein going, that was the only purpose. To see Am I real? Any of this?I was not on methadone, I was not a junkie. But you feel the need, the need builds up, every forty-eight hours or so. It's a fact, it's human anatomy. Neurology. We all want to explode. If you can't come one way, you come some other way. I pick at my skin, too. My face. Don't tell me it's a beautiful face and I'm scarring it, I've heard that before. Or my eyes, etcetera. All I know is there's this tightness in my skin like it's a drum's skin stretched to bursting, and a pounding heat in it like fever. You people staring at me in pity, disgust, superiority whispering Dog-girl!Always had this bad habit since I was a little girl, Momma despaired of me. Maybe because Momma used to be so beautiful, I needed to hurt one of us? Picking at my face till it bleeds. These rashes that flare up out of nowhere, pimples hard as grit, insect bites—my sharp fingernails find their own way, greedy for what they find. Asleep, or awake. Dig till a little blood starts!Then I feel better. Almost better.As for the fork they confiscated. One of those cheap dimestore tin things, prongs dull as the handle. Stabbed myself in the shower in fury and mockery that the fork was so fucking inadequate, you know?—like it was a joke, against me. Look how despised Dog-girl is, a fork so dull is all Satan has allotted her.An owl-looking matron from the detention center and a sheriff's deputy, male, sexy in that sag-eyed way turns some women on, took me to the hospital. Following the yellow arrows to PSYCHIATRIC SERVICES. I figured I would be given shock treatments as punishment and maybe that would cleanse me.My long straggly curly blond hair gone thin on the sides from starvation and my picked-at face and the bandage on my left arm and—for sure!—the wrist shackles drew a lot of attention in the hospital. Like on TV. You'd see a hospital worker or a visitor or a patient in a wheelchair or even ambulatory pushing an IV on a gurney watching us approach, the three of us abreast, their eyes widening with interest as we passed and they'd freeze and turn to watch us till we were down the corridor and out of sight. Is that the one—? That girl—? The one who—? Inside my hot eyelids comes a quick dream of seeing myself through a stranger's eyes. Wondering what judgment to pass on this person who's me.There was a doctor, I didn't see his face. I was crying, and I was ashamed, O.K. I did want to die, that was my secret. And him saying in that slow kind of pushy voice like something prying a shell open Tell me of your life, Ingrid. We want to make you well.Saying, I'm a Doctor, I don't judge.And I could not speak. Nor lower my hands from my face. My face that is scarred if you look in such bright light. This man saying, repeating You've suffered a severe trauma but now you're safe, and you're going to be all right. Will you trust me?I shook my head I don't know.Why won't you look at me, Ingrid?I shook my head I don't know.No? Will you speak to me, then?No?
