All the small things
WAGGGS COP17 delegate Tiffany Dick from South Africa writes on people's attitudes toward taking personal responsibility for halting climate change.
I applied to be part of the WAGGGS delegation at COP17 because I have always been interested in the environment and I try to do all I can to make even the smallest change.
In my home recycling, composting, using energy saving light bulbs and reusing water are part of my everyday life. I am an avid recycler, sometimes annoying most of my friends of family with my famous lines, "did you know you can recycle that?"
When I speak to people about recycling and using energy-saving lightbulbs, and doing other things such as car-pooling to lower their carbon footprint, most say they put so much time and effort into making a change, but when they see others are not doing the same they lose interest and feel like their efforts are going to waste.
Setting a bad example
On a recent television show, two local musicians were interviewed on their opinions about climate change and what they were personally doing in their own homes to combat it. I was disgusted by their answers – one had said that he was spreading the word by being at an awareness-raising concert and that was all he could do, but he was planning on installing solar panels in his home. He also mentioned that he did not recycle.
The other said that "you can't [save the planet] with carrots". The message that I received from these two public figures was that the average person cannot make a difference by recycling or growing their own food gardens. It saddened me that these influential people who should be setting an example for their many devoted fans were communicating such a mindset to the masses.
Educate and create change
The statement about the carrots upset me the most because the project I am working on after COP17 is to educate and have people create their own food gardens so that they are not fully dependent on grocery stores that – most times – source produce from outside the country which contributes heavily to climate change – but that's another essay on its own!
One thing that Guiding and COP17 have taught me is that every little bit matters – it all starts with your mind and how you choose to make a difference. It frustrates me when people give up on good habits such as recycling just because their neighbour is not doing the same.
My goal is to continue doing the small things, and therefore setting an example for my family, peers, and community because WE can save our planet!

APAC b'band roll outs charge
May 15, 2012 - Malaysia's high speed broadband (HSBB) fiber network is well ahead of Asia-Pacific's other state-led NBN projects in terms of reach and subscriber base, research shows.
Informa Telecoms and Media estimates that the HSBB had 310,000 subscribers and passed 1.2 million premises by the end of April.
This reach is just behind the 1.3 million households scheduled to be passed by the end of the year, and at the current rate of growth the network should be rolled out on time and under budget, Informa said.

Chuck Landon Grades The Herd
Tulsa 45, Marshall 38
OFFENSE: C - The running game improved, but three turnovers for the second consecutive game is unacceptable.
DEFENSE: D - It knew Tulsa was going to run the ball, but couldn't do anything about it.
SPECIAL TEAMS: D - Yielding a kickoff return for a touchdown is an unpardonable sin.
COACHING: D - An obvious two-point conversion situation shouldn't have required burning a timeout.
OVERALL: D - This game was winnable.

You need to run away. Are you encouraged to interact with other systems ? Are you able to actually hit senior students when you spar ? Are you locked into a year or multi year contract ? Do you guys compete in any thing at all where the free world attends ? DO you really think 8 arts in One is not a complete bullshite statement ? - one of the arts is "samurai sword"for chrissake.
Change your phone number. Change your name. Join an extreme religion if you need a cult , but join a boxing gym for a year or two and don't ever tell anyone your benificial moves exist.

The "secret" is precisely what the Crazy tae cult people buy into. I think ex-jungyae has some experience with a similar master as well.
A lot of people in our culture are always looking for a short cut, an inside line. It should show you why books like "the secret" and Crazy tae are so successful. Often simply being mysterious, and not fully up front about your "teachings" leaves westerners with baited breath waiting for more.
This is making me want to post about something unreleated. WHich I will now be posting in the TYK thread.

Chanel Pearl Drop Nail Lacquer Review, Photos, Swatches
Chanel Pearl Drop Le Vernis
Chanel Spring 2011: Pearl Drop
Chanel Pearl Drop Le Vernis Nail Colour ($23.00 for 0.4 fl. oz.) is a softened white gold frost with a slight metallic finish, sprinkled with pale gold micro-shimmer. There is something about this that reminds me of two things: brides and
CHANEL LE VERNIS is a pricey product that often comes out with more unique shades (that are later replicated by other brands). The originality or amount of depth in their shades is what often pulls me towards them. Overall, I've had good luck with the formula and wear. The formula tends to be on the thicker side but not so thick it's gloppy, while I typically get a full week's worth of wear (and just minor tip wear).
Pearl Drop stays true to past Chanel lacquers; the same slightly thicker formula with decent pigmentation, but this is a shade that seems designed to be worn sheer. I used two coats, and you could definitely try a third, but I think there was enough visible nail line at two that there would still be some at three. If you want a more opaque effect, try wearing a base polish underneath (like a white) to make it pop.
Edited @ 8:21AM: Sorry… swatches should be fixed! I was sleeping so I wasn't able to get them faster – really sorry all for screwing up so badly!
If you want to know more about how products are evaluated, read out Rating System FAQ!
- Product: 27/30
- Value: 6/10
- Ease of Use: 4/5
- Packaging: 4/5
FINAL THOUGHTS: I really like this shade, but I'm personally a fan of golds and white golds in general, so I find it a very flattering shade against my warm skin tone. I do think that this shade can be found in other brands, though, so you may want to check your stash first.
WHERE TO BUY: Nordstrom

Product & Review FAQ
Where can I purchase Pearl Drop? How much is it?
Nordstrom, $23.
Is it limited edition?
Any dupes?
I think there are several similar shades: Zoya Ginessa (not as gold, whiter); China Glaze Platinum Pearl (very similar but white rather than a white gold); Chanel Intermezzo is pinker but similar; Essie Marshmallow is creamier but close in color. Lippmann Rhapsody in White also seems like a great dupe, but I don't own it.

San Diego Trial Begins for Alleged Drug Gang Leaders
Originally published on Tue March 26, 2013 6:10 pm
SAN DIEGO — Lawyers delivered opening statements today in the trial of two alleged Mexican drug gang leaders accused of up to nine murders in San Diego.
Jorge Rojas Lopez and Juan Francisco Estrada Gonzalez are being tried for murders that occurred between 2004 and 2007. Some of the victims' bodies were dissolved in acid.
The defendants are alleged leaders of Los Palillos, described as a mini cartel made up of defectors from Tijuana's much larger Arellano-Felix Cartel.
Prosecutors say Los Palillos, which means "The Toothpicks," used a network of houses in Chula Vista and San Diego to smuggle drugs, hold kidnapping victims ransom and murder them.
The two defendants now on trial are already serving life sentences for earlier convictions including kidnapping.
Their trial in San Diego Superior Court is expected to last up to a year.

Wilson's Walk 4 Warmth Raises $750
Students, families, and staff recently gathered at Wilson Elementary School for the school's second annual Junior Walk 4 Warmth. Participants in the walk collected donations from sponsors in advance. Gathering in the school foyer Saturday morning, the group walked the route set up on the playground and field. Wilson teacher and Junior Walk 4 Warmth organizer, Andrew Kautzer, said, "Donations from the walk help some of those in Sheboygan and Sheboygan County who are low income households and who may be experiencing a crises in paying their heating bills."
Recipients must meet specific eligibility criteria as identified by Wisconsin Public Service. When asked how he came up with the idea, Kautzer replied, "The original idea for the walk began with South High School about 8-9 years ago." The South High walk usually takes place in December and since its inception has raised over $40,000 for heating assistance. Each participant in the Walk 4 Warmth who contributes a minimum of ten dollars receives a shirt. The unique aspect of participants receiving a shirt is that none of the donation money is used to purchase shirts. All donations are given to Wisconsin Public Service. Shirts are provided by the South High Spirit Club, which raises funds throughout the year to provide shirts for special events.
Kautzer noted that Wilson's walk this year raised just over $750, surpassing last year's total.

Sasol Community and Sancta 33rd One Act FestivalSANCTA - SA National Community Theatre Association
04/13/2013 10:37:10
The Sasol Community and Sancta 33rd Annual Community One-Act Festivals will be held from 24 June to 13 July in Secunda J. Stegmann Theatre.
The Sasol Community One-Act Festival for Govan Mbeki Municipal area ONLY will now run from 24-29 June 2013, and the Sancta Annual 33rd One-Act Festival will run the following two weeks in July straight after. They will be held as in the last three years at the Johannes Stegmann Theatre, Secunda , thanks to the sponsorship of Sasol Secunda and the Mpumalanga Government (Dept. Culture, Sport and Recreation)
The deadline for entries for BOTH FESTIVALS is 30 April to be in Sancta's hands by that date. The entry fee of R200 per festival and R200 Sancta membership must be paid by that date to Sancta. (Banking details on our website or contact Noel McDonald). If you applied previously, please confirm with Sancta that you are available to perform in June and July. The best 3 plays from the Sasol Community Theatre Festival will have automatic entry into the Main Festival. Sasol will pay your membership fees of R200 for 2013 for the Sasol Community One-Act Festival ONLY!
The 33rd Sancta Festival is a national festival and we shall accept 9 entries from Mpumalanga overall and 6 from Gauteng, KZN, NW and CP, so places will be very limited.
We require a typed first 10 pages of your play, the characters, a short synopsis by 30 April as the plays will, as has been done in the last three years, be chosen on the "merits of the script getting to stage."
Once the 15 plays are chosen, 2 mentoring courses will be given by our patroness and highly esteemed actress, teacher, director – Dorothy Anne Gould, her husband and other professional mentors in all provinces. There will also be a technical workshop on lights, sound, theatre etiquette about a month before and participants will be expected to buy badges to sell to prospective audiences, especially schools etc. Not all transport is going to be sponsored, so it is vital groups start marketing their plays NOW for both festivals to sell tickets to the audience to help raise transport monies and money for their groups' expenses.
In addition, in 2012, Sancta travelled 4 200km giving courses to 7 main towns to about 500 people from about 40 smaller towns in the Gert Sibande Region sponsored by the Mpumalanga Govt (Dept. Culture, Sport and Recreation)
The Gert Sibande Region (Thobile and Sakhile) have found 7 prospective play writers who have sent their scripts to Sancta already and Sancta will run a writers and directors course for these plays at the Johannes Stegmann Theatre in Secunda on 20 April for these 7 groups only. The three groups that presented the best typed scripts and that perform them with merit on that date will also have free entry into the 33rd Sancta Festival. Both Sancta and these playwrights are very grateful to the Mpumalanga (Dept. CSR) for their sponsorship. This means there will be place for only 3 extra plays from Mpumalanga for the Main Festival.
For any information on Sancta and these two festivals and other Sancta activities, please contact The Acting Sancta Chair- Noel McDonald 083 309 4315 or obtain application forms from our website www.Sancta.org .Both our Sancta Representative- Henning Botha in Trichardt 082 440 8120 or Mpume Mdakane Sasol Secunda Representative on 083 279 4242 can assist.

Allegiant Air's proactive response to the recent grounding of more than half its fleet of Boeing MD-80 aircraft may indicate an increasing focus on customer service at the growing Las Vegas-based ultra-low cost carrier.
"The company seems to have grown up by doing its best to re-accommodate passengers," Helane Becker, managing director at financial services firm Cowen Securities, tells Flightglobal. "They were proactive. They made it public... and talked about what they [were] doing."
Becker made her comments in response to Allegiant's announcement on 20 September that it had grounded more than 30 of its 52 MD-80s due to maintenance problems.
The airline said it failed to inspect the aircrafts' emergency evacuation slides every year, as recommended by slide manufacturer Zodiac Aerospace.
Zodiac had previously recommended inspections every three years, but changed its recommendation to yearly in 2007.
On 20 September, Allegiant issued three media releases and held two conference calls with reporters to discuss the groundings and the resulting impact on operations, a level of transparency Becker finds notable.
In addition, Allegiant is giving travel vouchers worth up to $200 to customers whose flights were delayed, and is refunding tickets to customers whose flights were cancelled.
"In the past, Allegiant likely would not have provided any compensation for affected travel, so the compensation shows the company has "grown up," says Cowen in a 23 September research note written partly by Becker.
The airline also said it was chartering aircraft from other airlines to fill in schedule gaps.
"I feel like they might not have done that [in the past]," Becker says. "The whole goal from their perspective is to try to come across to their customers as more customer-friendly."
Becker says that Allegiant in years past might have been less transparent and "tried to sweep [the grounding] under the rug".
"Ultra-low cost guys are not known for not being customer friendly," she says.
Michael Boyd, an aviation consultant with Boyd Group International, says a quick, transparent response to safety issues can help airlines avoid the wrath of the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).
"Any indication that [an airline is] lagging" in its response can be used as "an excuse" by the FAA to take drastic measures, Boyd says, noting that the agency has been known to shut down carriers at a moment's notice.
Though still a niche carrier, Allegiant is increasingly becoming a national player, flying from major leisure destinations to hundreds of secondary US cities.
The carrier reported 7.5 billion available seat miles in 2012, up 69% since 2008, according to securities filings.
Becker estimates the maintenance work and resulting flight disruptions will cost Allegiant millions of dollars, but probably not hundreds of millions of dollars.
"We recognise this is a near-term, one-time issue and should have no meaningful impact on the long-term thesis of the company," says Cowen's research note.
Allegiant has said the maintenance work will take five days per aircraft. It hopes to finish the work by the end of September.
The FAA learned Allegiant may have not inspected the slides at required intervals while investigating an emergency evacuation of an Allegiant MD-80 at Las Vegas on 16 September, the agency says.
No passengers were injured during that incident, which was prompted by reports of smoke in the cabin.
"The agency directed Allegiant to immediately report the inspection status of all slides installed on its MD-80 fleet," the FAA said in a statement.
Allegiant has said it will hold another media call at 15:00 Las Vegas time on 23 September.

By Alan Via
"Always follow the rule of up," is a phrase I associate with Spencer Morrissey from our many off-trail hikes together. It refers to a bushwhack hike with no trail and answers the question "Where do we go from here?" It's also a philosophy of life that Spencer's adopted as an approach to his sports and all other activities in his life, and should someday be engraved on his tombstone.
Age: 39
Family: Corenne Black, fiancée; Son, Kole; Daughter, Emily
Residence: Lake Placid
Career: Assistant Manager, Eastern Mountain Sports, Lake Placid
Primary Sports: Hiking, Snowshoeing, Paddling
Secondary Sports: Trail Running, Backcountry Skiing, Bouldering, Ice Climbing
Spencer is likely one of the most highly travelled and experienced hikers and bushwhackers in the Adirondacks. He was born and grew up in the heart of the mountains, Long Lake. Growing up in the mountain and lake country, you'd certainly expect he would be comfortable with a pack or paddle, but he's taken his outdoor pursuits to a whole new level.
The first time I crossed paths with Spencer was many years ago on an Internet hiking forum. Both of us were hiking the Adirondack 100 highest peaks and began trading information. This turned into a plan to do a bushwhack together, and that was the start of a long and exhilarating friendship.
The young Mr. Morrissey loved to go fishing with his father and grandfather, his first steps into an outdoors life. He climbed his first peak, Goodnow Mountain, in third grade at age eight, and then began hiking taller and taller mountains, like Blue Mountain, and the second highest in New York, Algonquin Peak. The real hiking bug didn't hit him until his teen years when he fell in love with the sport and jumped in with both boots.
Spencer added paddling to his outdoor pursuits in his early 30s, kayaking and exploring ponds, with his good friend, Brian Yourdon. They had the idea of trying to hike into or canoe all the remote lakes and ponds throughout the Adirondacks, a pursuit they termed 'pondhopping.' Exploring the vast Adirondack network of waterways led to another activity, inspiring them to begin climbing the Adirondack 46 High Peaks of 4,000 feet or higher, to become Adirondack 46ers.
Not resting on their hiking and paddling laurels, Spencer and Brian set out on another almost impossibly difficult journey, the "Adirondack Quad Quest." There are over 100 United States Geological Survey topographic maps that are either completely or partially within the Blue Line boundary of the Adirondack Park. Doing the 'quads' means climbing every named mountain, peak, ridge or mountain feature on each of those maps. The goal was to ascend every mountain feature that had a name. Some of these are summits, but could also have the name notch, cliff, ridge, hill, ledge, peak or knob.
Just selecting one of these USGS maps at random, I noted over 75 climbable map features, almost every one without a trail. Even a map quad with a modest number of destinations requires hundreds of miles of hiking and bushwhacking. Spencer has 30 map quads fully completed and he is nearing 700 climbs. I don't believe anyone has even begun a project like climbing every destination on just one map, let alone taking aim at them all. Even with a two-year hiatus for school and another hiking project, Spencer is almost at 700, and is planning to pick up the pace this year.
The rest of Spencer's hiking resume is equally impressive. He has hiked all over New England, has completed 32 of the 50 US State High Points, and all of the New York fire tower peaks. His achievements also include climbing the Adirondack 46 High Peaks multiple times and in winter. Since legendary John Winkler completed all of the 46 peaks by bushwhack, non-trailed routes 30 years ago, Spencer is only the second person to complete the peaks by hiking them all, even the trailed summits, by original off-trail bushwhack routes – something that required planning, perseverance, endurance and drive.
Our lives intersected when he and Brian Yourdon had begun hiking all of the Adirondack 100 highest summits. The three of us joined together to climb them, in heat, humidity, bugs and in all weather conditions. Spencer is the 23rd known completer of the ADK-100 list, which still has under 50 finishers. Climbing these mountains sparked an idea in Spencer, one that led to his publishing, The Other 54: A Hiker's Guide to the Lower 54 Peaks of the Adirondack 100 Highest. Until the book was published, information on the 100 summits was largely word of mouth. The book has sold out its first two editions with a third edition due April 2013. One of my biggest regrets is having suggested to Spencer that The Other 54 would make a great book title. He gets a kick out of my having eliminated "The Other 67" as a possible title for my own hiking guide – his book and quest was its inspiration.
Spencer and his fiancée Corenne are the authors of another book, Adirondack Trail Runner: A Sample of More Than One Hundred Trail Running Destinations, and they are working on a couple of other as yet unnamed projects for outdoors enthusiasts.
What does a person like this do to stay in shape? Besides lots of gym work, weights and yoga, his outdoor fitness regime includes running on roads and trails, snowshoeing, backcountry skiing, and lots and lots of hiking.
To round out his outdoors background, Spencer took a year off and enrolled and graduated from the SUNY Environmental Science and Forestry School, commonly known as The Ranger School. He is also a volunteer forest firefighter, member of the Champlain Valley Search and Rescue, and is a licensed NYS guide.
Spencer and Corenne are co-owners of Inca-pah-cho Wilderness Guides, a business that takes clients into the backcountry for a variety of mountain associated adventures.
Alan Via (email@example.com) enjoys hiking, photography and fly fishing. He is the author of many hiking oriented articles and his hiking guide, The Catskill 67: A Hiker's Guide to the Catskill 100 Highest Peaks under 3500' was published by the Adirondack Mountain Club in April.

Weekly Shtuff 1-10-2014
Ok, we're back. And this next week, the first of a four part blog about Spring Heeled Jack in the dime novels. It's amazing how much confusion there is out there on the web about SHJ's dime novel advetnures that I've decided to settle it once and for all by actually READING the stories, or as many as I was able to get ahold of. If you Google his name, you'll mainly get sites dealing with the urban legend, most of which are just cut and paste jobs with a few new speculations tossed in. I personally don't care if he was an alien or a demon or a nutball Royal. But there's nothing worse than reading cut-and-paste info that is WRONG, and particularly about something I'm interested in. I'll beat that drum more next week.
Below are two covers from a bizarre Spanish serial novel from the early 1910s called El Hijo del Contrabandista o el Abismo de Dos Razas. It doesn't translate well, but comes out to something like The Smugglers Son, or the Abyss of (between?) Two Races. There are reportedly some fantasy elements in the series. I hope to do some posts this year on all the really cool fantasy/horror/weird stuff that was appearing in Europe during Lovecraft's day. I can't help but think he would like these covers.

'Flawless and funny' Memphis news anchor Ed Craig dead at 80
Kathryn Brooks said her father, veteran WHBQ-TV Channel 13 News anchor Ed Craig, was exactly who you saw on the news each night — a fun-loving, faithful, and honest man.
Mr. Craig, a 28-year news veteran, died at 3 a.m. Monday morning, Brooks said, after battling COPD. He was 80.
"Before then, we had a lot of talks, a lot of laughter and a lot of tears," Brooks said. "We made memories that I will cling to for the rest of my life."
Mr. Craig, a Memphis native and only child, began his radio and television career in the Air Force, where he served in the Korean War.
In 1957, Mr. Craig married his late wife of nearly 50 years, Bonnie, who died in 2005 after a fight with breast cancer.
Jim Jaggers, former co-worker and friend, said Mr. Craig started out as a weatherman at WHBQ in 1963 and performed every job possible in the newsroom from anchoring to editing film in the days before the teleprompter.
"He was flawless and funny," said Jaggers. "I don't recall him rehearsing any of his jokes or humor or reading any of his scripts out loud."
Byron Day, former co-worker and friend, said Mr. Craig was an excellent mentor and made him feel welcome when he began as a weatherman and Mr. Craig was the No. 1 news anchor in the market.
"He was so incredibly credible," Day said. "You knew you were going to get the news without any bias."
Day said he will never forget the memory of trick-or-treating with Mr. Craig and the rest of the news crew one Halloween in masks while still in their blazers.
"He gave it away with that baritone voice of his," said Day. "One lady said 'Ed Craig is that you?' and we all had a big laugh, but no one laughed harder than Ed."
"He was an amazing father," said Brooks. "When it would snow, he would get out in the front yard and build stuff for us girls; there were four of us. One year he built a full-sized sleigh with all the bells and whistles and we had to climb up in it and sit down on that cold seat. Even though he knew it would melt away, he took the time to do it for us anyway because he knew it would make us happy."
Mr. Craig leaves three other daughters, Deborah Craig of Millington, Patricia Lee of Arlington and DeAnne McNeal of Atoka; nine grandchildren, and five great grandchildren.
Visitation is 5 to 9 p.m. Wednesday in Millington at Northridge Woodhaven Funeral Home. Services will be at the funeral home at 2 p.m. Thursday.
The family asks that any memorials be made to the American Lung Association for research on Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disorder.

Saturday on Episode Cinco
Tomorrow morning, the second-to-the-last of my six (most normal people refer to that as "the fifth") Food Network episodes airs. It's a special show to me because in it, I drag the cameras along with me to Woolaroc.
Woolaroc is an inextricable part of my soul.
I love it forever.
I wrote about taking my kids to Woolaroc the year I started blogging. My older girl (far right) was wearing a t-shirt that read "Vote for Pedro." That, along with her (relative) shortness, shows you just how long ago it was.
She now measures 5'11".
And I took the kids last summer, along with some friends, one of whom was in the older photo above.
Hyacinth's daughter.
I take all our kids to Woolaroc. It's part of our deal as friends.
And I took the kids last spring, along with my friend Sarah's girls. (Hi, girls! Come back to the ranch soon.)
Woolaroc is rich in both American and Oklahoma history.
I'll never not go to Woolaroc.
I'll never not neglect not to go to Woolaroc. Someone please check my negatives.
This is Marlboro Man and me. Posing for this bronze was a real kick!
No. Not really.
Here's a brief overview of tomorrow's show.
EPISODE 5, otherwise known as Cinco
* I take the kids to Woolaroc.
* I forget that there were cameras in the car when I was driving.
* I hope I didn't scratch my nostril.
* Oh, no. I think I scratched my nostril.
* We go to church. The crew was filming and we said, "We're going to church" and they came along.
* After church, I make a pot roast.
* Then I make cobbler.
* Then we all pass out on the couch.
* We actually did pass out on the couch. The crew stopped filming and left, and we woke up four days later.
* I bake cookies in my kitchen at home.
* I don't wear shoes while I do this.
* For some reason, my bare feet are briefly visible a couple of times–at least they were when I saw a version of the show a couple of weeks ago.
* I hadn't paid much attention to my toes since this was to be a cooking show, not a toe show, so I can't be held responsible for what they look like.
* I have a sidebar moment where I point out a kitchen feature that I like.
* Then I scoop the dough onto the cookie sheet at lightning speed. It's nifty.
* Then my feet show again.
* If I ever film a cooking segment or show again, I'm never again taking for granted that my feet won't show.
Life is just a series of unexpected learning experiences, isn't it?

I hope they renew your show. I have it set to record on the DVR but, I usually end up making time to watch
Shelly On Monday, September 26 at 12:26 pm
I was putting a roast in the oven during your show. Instead of carrots, I put in mushrooms and red wine. So my pot roast was for Saturday night date night instead of Sunday dinner. For Sunday dinner, I chopped up the leftover roast, put it back into the liquid, added worchestershire sauce and tabasco, and fed it to my cowboy again as roast beef MM sandwiches. They were divine!
I've been loving your show and keeping them on my dvr so I can spend more Saturday mornings with you and your bunch!
Karen Klasi On Monday, September 26 at 12:38 pm
I'm hoping against hope that Mike is in next week's episode…
Sherri On Monday, September 26 at 12:40 pm
LOL…on the bronze MM/PW bronze!
Cathy On Monday, September 26 at 1:00 pm
I watched the show, as I have done the 4 previous weeks, and it was fabulous as always. In fact, that is what we had for dinner last night complete with the cobbler! SO SO GOOD! I've made the pot roast before and ALWAYS make your mashed potatoes but last night everything was just perfect. Thank you, Ree, for getting me excited about cooking (and my family thanks you, too!)
Santa Clara, CA
Misha H. On Monday, September 26 at 2:13 pm
I was home on Saturday and finally got to watch your show! But now I find out there is only one more? I do hope you will consider more in the future. I love to see everything about the ranch, the food and the family! Oh! And I had to make pot roast for Sunday dinner after watching your show. Yum!
Jeannine B On Monday, September 26 at 2:18 pm
Enjoyed the episode, but you got your facts wrong. Buffalo & Bison are NOT the same thing!!! Buffalo are not found in America as an indigenous species- they are common in Asia & Africa and are called water buffalo or yak. Bison are the ones you were looking at. Indigenous to the USA, what the Natives used to survive winters, and commonly mistaken as Buffalo. (Come visit SD sometime & learn the difference! Custer St. Park is having the Bison Round up now!)
SuZQ On Monday, September 26 at 2:53 pm
Ree, episode cinco was really special. I don't know if it was the theme, or the activities, but this episode really seemed to be relaxed and laid back. Your sense of humor seemed to really come through, and it didn't seem scripted in the least. I know you have to do what's best for your family, but if you could possibly find the time to add "boss and TV star" to your "to do" list, I would be a fan. It would also mean having to add another "tab" to your web site jsut to cover the ins and outs of being "boss and TV star"…do I dare suggest "keepin' it real" as a name for it? It is really interesting to see how you do it all; the home-schooling, the photograohy, the blogging, the movie watching, AND the cooking. You seem genuinely happy and content doing it all…you give a great number of others a much needed shot in the arm. Keep up the great entertainment and know that your fans appreciate all you share with us!!
Paula On Monday, September 26 at 3:26 pm
Sooooo sad!!! I forgot to hit record before I went for my walk on Saturday morning! Will your show air again at a future date?
Tina H On Monday, September 26 at 9:15 pm
I actually paused my tv after you made your cobbler, ran to my kitchen and threw together a cherry cobbler using your recipe….. Hubby loved it! Loved the cupa cupa cupa reference from Steel Magnolias.
Then tonight we had your and Ladd's favorite sandwiches on grilled Texas toast (yum) and I threw in some shitake mushrooms with the onions. Also fixed your baked mashed taters. Girl, you rock. Hubby and picky 9yr old raved over the meal. Thank you!
Jeanne On Monday, September 26 at 10:23 pm
It was such a great show. My husband loves it too and I was so shocked but so glad we can watch it together! How do we see more! I made MM's favorite sandwich for my husband and he agrees with MM.
Sara Brownlee On Tuesday, September 27 at 12:29 pm
We spent the weekend in Oklahoma, and when we got back, my two-year-old son and I snuggled up to watch your show on DVR. He loves it because of the horses and dogs! Anyway, you mentioned "Oklahoma" and my son jumped up and yelled, "Oklahoma!! I went there!" He thought it was so cool!
Chaz On Tuesday, September 27 at 12:36 pm
I especially loved this episode for two reasons, one being the pot roast, and two being the part about getting out of church early so you can "beat the Baptists." My mom and I were watching this episode and we just about fell in the floor. We also attend the First Presbyterian Church in a small Kentucky town and ever since I can remember we have said (after church ends and we finish eating the treats the lovely Presbyterian women have made) we gotta go so we can beat the Baptists to [insert post-church activity here, usually eating or shopping]. We laughed and laughed and laughed about it. Thank you so much for sharing this with us!!!
Jeanette On Wednesday, September 28 at 8:20 pm
I am loving your shows!! I can't wait to try the pot roast. Did your family really fall asleep in front of the cameras? It looked very real.
Jenesa On Wednesday, September 28 at 10:53 pm
I want to see the show so BAD! I live in Canada and don't get the food network
Iris On Thursday, September 29 at 2:27 pm
REALLY enjoyed "Episode Cinco" last Saturday. Puh-Leeze! continue. I have already emailed Food Network with my request. Wish your other followers would do so.
If they are interested, just go to http://www.foodnetwork.com; find the 'contact us' link & get to making your wishes known.
Of course, this is assuming that Ree wants to do more shows. ….. Hmmmm? Please?? Your fans are NEEDING you.
Chandamm On Thursday, September 29 at 4:41 pm
I just took my children on our first homeschool field trip to Woolaroc!!! I hadn't been since I was YOUNG, and it was wonderful! I'm so glad to read about your love for the same place!
Texas Cowgirl On Friday, September 30 at 11:01 pm
As someone who used to live in Bartlesville and knows someone who works at Woolaroc thanks for showing our wonderful area here.
Ann Jarrell On Thursday, November 17 at 3:12 pm
I am so sorry you did not get more time on the Food Network. Bummer!! All my friends and I were talking about you. What ever were they thinking? Ann

Mad Max-esque shots of the Australian outback from Wouter Van de Voorde
Belgian photographer Wouter Van de Voorde started out as a painter in his homeland before discovering that photography offered him more of the creative freedom and opportunity for introspection than his original medium. Since taking up photography he's exiled himself to Autralia where he uses his outsider status as a driver for creative expression, exploring the quirks and nuances of Australian culture and landscape in the hope of creating a sense of belonging through his work.
This process of coming to terms with Australia's otherness is particularly clear in his New Normal series, a collection of seven images that see Wouter roaming around Sandpit Party, Australia's answer to Burning Man. For the Flanders native, the stark opposition to his homeland is palpable – all baron landscape and industrial degradation – his surroundings serving as a Mad Max-esque reminder of just how different two Western countries can be.

Some things are so yesterday. Unfortunately, the more bizarre gather more attention in the general quagmire that fuels gossip and entertainment but achieves little. Like carports full of junk to the exclusion of the car, this stuff needs tossing.
Consider former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich's ongoing corruption trial. "Blago," loving pomp and spectacle, pulled righteous indignation out from under his well-placed coiffure and never took the stand. His reason? The case against him is so weak that it is beneath his dignity to speak.
He signed autographs on his way out of court and put his hand over his heart when a woman said she is praying for him. Finally, this soap opera, complete with the flamboyant defense attorney asking us to believe his client is naïve but not criminal, is over and in the hands of the jury.
Then there's Warren Jeffs, head of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, now serving time for two counts of first-degree felony rape as an accomplice. The Utah Supreme Court just ordered a new trial. Look for another parade of subservient, 18th century clad women, part of the cult estimated at 10,000 members living on the Utah-Arizona line practicing polygamy. The government knows of this illegal mistreatment of women and children in the name of religion and hasn't shut them down? Well, yes. And don't be surprised if Jeffs returns to his kingdom.
The conscienceless but testosterone-enriched still run with the bulls in Spain. If they escape a well-deserved goring, as several did not in July, the bloodthirsty go on to watch the idolized matadors thrust one spear at a time into doomed animals in the bull-fighting rings. Hemingway's fondness for the "sport" only highlights the darkness of his prose and suicidal end of his life.
The days of pretty-boy politics, guys with harems, and medieval torture should be over. If conscience does not prevail, then maybe a sour economy will. Trials and re-trials cost money. Law-spurning groups that succeed in getting their women and children on the public dole as "single" mothers cost money. Spain's local governments that have subsidized small-town bullfights are cutting them from their tight budgets. On July 28, Catalonia became the first major region to ban bullfighting. Good! Get rid of it!
And how seriously should we take the ups-and-downs, suggestions and clamor of the stock market? The Today show said the New York Stock Exchange's July 27 opening was "one of the more anticipated opening bell ceremonies in some time." And what guest, what financial whiz, created this frenzy? Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi and her friends from the reality show, "Jersey Shore." To prove it didn't go to her head, Snooki was arrested on July 31 for being falling-down drunk on the street at 3:30 in the afternoon.
King Solomon fell into political power mongering and wealth building on the backs of humans and beasts. Hundreds of women filled his harem. In the end he wanted to get rid of it. "The conclusion, when all has been heard, is: fear God and keep His commandments, because this applies to every person" (Ecclesiastes 12:13 NAS).

Dancing With the Stars 2013: Team Val or Team Derek? Vote for Your Favorite Team! (POLL)
Dancing With the Stars 2013 features a battle for the record books tonight as Team Derek Hough and Team Val Chmerkovskiy go head-to-head in the ballroom.
The teams seem to be evenly matched — we even tallied their power rankings in a handy infographic — though that doesn't mean that one won't have more fans than the other.|
On Team Derek, the stand-out Mirror Ball hopefuls are, of course, Derek and Kellie (who top the leaderboard weekly) and Aly and Mark, though underperformers Sean Lowe and Andy Dick have been bringing in a decent amount of votes thanks to their theatricality.
For Team Val, aside from him and partner Zendaya, the only big fan favorites are Jacoby and Karina, though Ingo Rademacher and Victor Ortiz have both managed to stay in the competition week after week, in spite of their frequent spots in the Bottom Two.
However, it will all come down to how well they work together as a team, performing the Paso Doble (Val) and the Samba (Derek) live tonight, April 22!
Until then, we want to see who you're rooting for. Cast your vote for either Team Val or Team Derek below, and then hit the comments with your predictions for tonight's performances!
I can't choose!
I don't like either.
Dancing WIth the Stars airs tonight, April 22, at 8 p.m. ET/PT on ABC.

Program/Project Management
From the soaring new Hoover Dam Bypass to the historical statue of the god Vulcan, outstanding coatings achievements took center stage Monday (Jan.31) at the annual SSPC Structure Awards, presented at the Annual Conference and Exhibition of SSPC in Las Vegas, NV.
The Society for Protective Coatings honored several major commercial and industrial projects and their owners, contractors and suppliers for achievements in innovation, durability, complexity, craftsmanship, aesthetic merit, techniques and products.
"We are thrilled to recognize these exceptional projects," said JPCL editor-in-chief Karen Kapsanis, who presented the awards at SSPC's first annual meeting and awards program at SSPC2011 featuring GreenCOAT, in Las Vegas. "The range of craftsmanship, commitment and ingenuity displayed in these projects reflects the best of the best in our industry."
"The selections this year were very, very difficult."
The winners are:
Crone Knoy Award: Hoover Dam Bypass/Colorado River Bridge
For two years, employees of United/Anco Services Inc. worked to paint 67, 30-foot-long handrail sections of the new Colorado River Bridge. They also painted the bearing plates and nuts that tie the steel spans to the concrete columns, catwalks between the spans, and the structural steel support members that strengthen the girders, and repainted damage done to the interior and exterior of the tubs and spans by the other crafts.
The work took place 900 feet above the churning Colorado River in desert temperatures of 95-110 degrees most days and winds of 15-20 knots.
The work was completed on time, under budget and with no recordable OSHA incidents. Coatings materials were supplied by Superior Products International (SPI) and PPG. The Federal Highway Administration owns the bridge.
The Crone Knoy Award recognizes outstanding achievement in commercial or industrial coatings work that demonstrates innovation, durability or utility. Charles G. Munger Award: Brown Screen Building
International Paint / Devoe Coatings developed a coating system in 1991 to assist the International Association of Bridge, Ornamental and Reinforcing Iron Workers in Alberta, Canada, and the Iron Workers of North America in their construction of a pulp and paper mill.
The system consisted of a zinc primer, epoxy anticorrosive and polyurethane coating system applied to structural steel abrasive-blasted to SSPC-SP 6 commercial standard. Waiward Steel Fabricators Inc. applied the system to some 400 tons of structural steel used for the construction of the Brown Screen building at the Tembec Pulp Group, Skookumchuck, BC. The urethane finish coat was spray-applied with polyolefin beads to provide a safe, anti-slip coating system for ironworkers.
In a recent letter to Devoe, Reliability Group Superintendent Gordon Hillier reported that "the coating continues to perform exceptionally well, with no sign of deterioration." He noted that the structure is in a hot, humid area and is frequently exposed to splashing by caustic chemicals.
The Munger Award recognizes an outstanding industrial or commercial coatings project that demonstrates longevity of the original coating.
William Johnson Award: Chiller Central Plant
The California State Department of General Services called on contractor CB&I and coatings supplier Tnemec Company for recoating of the Central Plant Renovation Thermal Energy Storage Tank in Sacramento.
The 4.25-million-gallon tank is part of the chilled water system that serves 22 state buildings in the downtown Sacramento area. Its unique design enhances the aesthetics of the area. The Design Build project was coated on the interior, exterior and exposed architectural features with Tnemec high-performance coatings systems.
The plant, including the tank, is on track to receive LEED Gold certification.
The Johnson Award recognizes outstanding achievement demonstrating aesthetic merit in industrial or commercial coatings work.
George Campbell Award: 3 Winners
The Campbell Award recognizes outstanding achievement in the completion of a difficult or complex industrial or commercial coatings project. Three winners were honored this year.
1st Ave. Bridge at Maple Canyon
Techno Coating Inc. applied coatings from the Sherwin-Williams Co. to the 1st Ave. Bridge, owned by the City of San Diego, CA.
The complex industrial structure had challenging specifications and historic status; the 1931-era arch truss spans the environmentally sensitive Maple Canyon habitat, and the project involved lead paint removal, complete containment, third-party inspections and tight safety, weather and time issues.
LaSalle Causeway Lift Bridge
The LaSalle Causeway, at the southern end of the Rideau Canal in Kingston, Ontario, Canada, is owned by Public Works and Government Services Canada (PWGSC). Harrison-Muir Inc., of Ontario, applied coatings supplied by Carboline Canada.
"The age, complexity, degree of corrosion and difficult access would make this a complex blasting and coating bridge project in normal weather and shut-down conditions," the applicants said. "The actual conditions in which it had to be done earns it, in our opinion, a definite 10 on the scale of difficulty."
The challenges included Canadian winter conditions, with average daily temperatures of 34 degrees and single-digit average temperatures overnight, risking freezing of equipment, abrasive, and potential winter storm damage. It was also a very wet winter, and traffic and pedestrian lanes had to remain open the entire time. Environmental controls were critical, and the project was completed in three phases from December 2009 to April 2010.
Vulcan Statue, Birmingham, AL
Vulcan Painters Inc. used SteelCon and Tnemec High-Performance Coatings Systems as well as some ingenuity to tackle repainting of its namesake Roman god at the Vulcan Park & Museum. The statue is owned by the city of Birmingham.
Vulcan is the world's largest cast-iron statue, standing 56 feet tall on a 124-foot 1938 WPA-era sandstone pedestal. The pedestal had been covered with marble cladding for 30 years before the latest major renovation, but this covering was removed to give the statue a more authentic look. The stone and mortar of the pedestal proved much more porous than anticipated, and water seeping through the pedestal damaged the inner staircase and marble lobby. The job was to prime peeling places on the statue and give him a complete refresher coat, and to clean and seal the sandstone pedestal.
In addition to figuring out how to rig the job using the steel structure on the interior of the statue, the contractor had to work with Vulcan's busy social schedule, which was packed with school trips, visitors and company parties. The work proceeded through freezing temperatures, wind, rain and lightning.
In the end, however, "the leakage on the interior of the pedestal was stopped, and the iron man is ready for visitors for years to come," the contractor reports.
Editor's Note: PaintSquare News will report on all of the SSPC Award winners throughout this week. JPCL will also feature the winners in its April issue.

a soap film apparatus
Solace is a cinematic installation that investigates the mental process and physical activity of seeing. At regular intervals a handcrafted apparatus creates a monumental soap film as a spatial intervention. Through precise lighting the inner movement of the soap film is revealed, showing a turbulent choreography of iridescent color and fluid motion. As gravity slowly gets a hold of the membrane the viewer can be fascinated with the phenomenon, until inevitably the fragile film bursts.
(the installation was altered and improved in recipe mechanics, software and space set-up in 2013, resulting in a more immersive space and longer lasting soap films. Fractal like imagery now starts appearing in the screen, see vimeo.com/94943877 for footage and my website for more info and pictures)

Win a new car for Christmas
Posted: September 30, 2012|
SHOPPERS in Princesshay will have the chance to win a Peugeot 107 for £1 in time for Christmas thanks to a huge prize giveaway to raise money for St Loye's Foundation.
The sparkling new car, worth £7,000, has been donated by Exeter's Truscotts Peugeot dealership. All the money raised will go towards helping people with autism in Exeter and East Devon.
The raffle will be officially launched by the Lord Mayor of Exeter, Councillor Rob Newby, on October 4, at 11am. The car will be positioned between Reiss and Debenhams right up until the week before Christmas. The winner will then be chosen and receive the car in time for the festivities.
St Loye's community fundraiser Phil Roberts said: "We cannot thank Truscotts Exeter enough for generously donating a Peugeot 107 to us and to Princesshay Exeter for all their help. We are raising money to enable us to help people with autism access voluntary work, training and employment."
Princesshay centre director Wayne Pearce said: "This is a really exciting prize and I hope that many people will want to take advantage of the raffle. A new car for £1 will be a great Christmas present for someone and it would be fantastic for St Loye's to be able to raise enough money to continue to make a difference to so many lives."

Local activists join massive march on Raleigh
When the N.C. General Assembly was in session this summer, liberal protestors organized large events called Moral Mondays. Now the legislature is gone, but protests in downtown Raleigh against the Republican-led state government haven't stopped.
This Saturday will play host to the Moral March on Raleigh HKonJ People's Assembly, with the HKonJ standing for Historic Thousands on Jones Street — the street on which the General Assembly is located. The march was started in 2006 by the state branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and now includes more than 150 other partner organizations, according to the event's Facebook page — on which more than 3,500 people have said they will or might attend and another 26,700 have been invited.
"We are calling on all people of conscience and concern to join us as we stand against the extreme and regressive agenda being pushed in North Carolina," the invitation states. "This agenda is a reflection of what is happening across the United States."
Local activists have organized transportation for dozens of people to the march, which will begin on Wilmington Street next to the campus of Shaw University at 9:30 a.m., with the march itself starting at 10:30 a.m.
The Lee County NAACP will have two passenger vans and a bus running between Sanford and Raleigh for the march, which organizers say will end just after noon. To get a seat on any of the vehicles, call NAACP President Ervin Fox at (919) 478-1664. The two vans are free and will leave at 7:30 a.m. from Blandonia Presbyterian Church at 605 Wall St. The bus will cost $5 to ride and will leave at 8:30 a.m. from First Calvary Baptist Church at 240 Fields Drive.
The march is officially endorsed by the state Democratic Party. Randy Voller, the state party chair and former mayor of Pittsboro, said in a written statement that HKonJ is "an important reminder as to what matters most to the people of North Carolina: economic prosperity for our working and middle class families, quality public education for our children and access to voting for all North Carolinians."
Rep. Robert Reives II, the only local Democratic representative in state government — he represents all of Chatham County and parts of Lee County, having been recently selected to replace former Rep. Deb McManus after her resignation — said he will be among the thousands marching on Saturday.
Reives, a Sanford attorney, touted his belief in many of the same progressive ideals espoused by the march's organizers when he was campaigning in December and January to be appointed to the legislature on an interim basis. He also said he's glad to see a great number of people exercising some of the freedoms guaranteed by the First Amendment.
"Everybody's got a right to assemble," he said. "I have a great respect for that Constitutional right."
There are reportedly no plans for civil disobedience during this march — as opposed to the Moral Monday protests, where hundreds of people were intentionally arrested.
Voller said this Saturday's march will be a protest "like no other." Ann McCracken, chairman of the Lee County Democratic Party, said she's glad to have heard lots of interest from locals about attending — especially because earlier this week she heard from several of the organizers and was impressed.
"I attended a briefing about the march at Martin Street Baptist Church (Monday) to hear Bob Hall of Democracy N.C., Tim Tyson, Jarvis Hall, Gene Nichol, the Rev. (William) Barber, and many others discuss the reasons for the the Forward Together Movement and the HKonJ or Moral March," she wrote in an email. "I had heard most of them last summer, but it was very inspiring to have all of them in the same room. The march promises to be huge."

Nowadays, she can flip off the diving board, plunging deep into the water and venturing to a low point of about 10 feet.
Cameron, 7, can also hold her breath underwater for about two minutes.
So how did she develop all these swimming skills? By taking lessons at the Vermilion Community Pool.
Cameron and about 30 other children swam on a recent weekday, learning basic dives, strokes and techniques.
"Learning how to swim when you live on Lake Erie is like learning how to take your first steps or eating by yourself," Cameron's mother Mary Sexton said. "It's vital."
What's also important: The Vermilion Community Pool has persevered, to where it is now the only public swimming center in Erie County.
Vermilion Community Pool
What: Erie County's only public access pool.
Where: By Vermilion High School, 4846 Pineview Drive.
When: Public swimming is available noon to 7:45 p.m. daily through Labor Day.
Cost: Gate fee is $5 for children younger than 17, $6 for adults and free to children younger than 3. Individual all-access pool passes are $150 for city residents and $175 for nonresidents. Family all-access pool passes are $250 for residents and $275 for nonresidents.
Amenities: 110-by-25-foot pool with shallow and deep ends, plus diving board. Swim lessons available.
Call: 440-967-9071
Other public pools — such as Sandusky's wave-action center, Surf's Up, and an outdoor venue at Osborn MetroPark — have closed during the past two decades.
The Vermilion Community Pool has been a mainstay since 1963, dating back to the Vallyview Pool. Area subdivision homeowners invested and covered costs for maintenance before relinquishing control to city officials about 20 years ago.
"Pools notoriously lose money," said Bob Cunicella, Vermilion Community Pool's operation manager. While overseen by Vermilion officials and controlled by taxpayers, the pool relies heavily upon goodwill to stay afloat.
"Every year, we have to solicit donations," Cunicella said. "We've been very fortunate that the community has given money to make sure the pool stays open."
The Vermilion Community Pool needs roughly $21,000 a year for chemicals, utilities and payroll.
After that, hardly any money is left for desperately needed upgrades such as paving the jagged concrete bordering the pool.
Cash-strapped times in years past nearly forced organizers to close the the pool for an entire summer. Thanks to donations, that never happened. In 2010, for instance, Cunicella donated his entire summer salary so the pool could stay open.
"For kids to sit at home and play video games is, to me, a waste of the summer," Cunicella said. "We have been very fortunate that the community has given the money to make sure the pool is open so the kids have something to do in the summer."
Keeping the pool open has kept swimmers and others happy.
"I know a few people from Lorain who drive out here for lessons," pool lifeguard Dean Coghlan said. "It's accessible, low-cost and just a really happy place to be."
The family-friendly atmosphere enticed Irma Ruiz to enroll her two children — Sophia, 9, and Luis, 6 — in swimming lessons this summer. So far, Luis can dip his head underwater and Sophia can dive, feats neither could accomplish a year ago.
"The kids enjoy swimming lessons," Irma said.
Irma and Mary also agreed the pool is a place where kids can swim without paying exuberant prices, as they would at area water parks, country clubs or private swimming areas.
"Having a community pool is just as important as having a safe school in your community," Mary said. "The city needs this pool. It's a necessity. Not a luxury."

"They'd ask me how I felt about certain things, and I didn't know," Redford recalls. "It was during the Suez crisis, when America deserted the French and it was a disaster, and I didn't know what they were talking about. I felt so put down that I decided to really focus on the politics of my country, but it was done from another place. It was done from reading French, Italian and German newspapers and talking to students and hearing different opinions. I cobbled together a point of view that was from other points of view." By the time he landed back in America two years later, "I was filled with experiences of real-life situations and the myths of this country. I guess that's where it all started."
Redford went to New York, enrolled at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts, and by 1960 was appearing in bit parts on Broadway and on TV in the likes of Maverick, Perry Mason, Alfred Hitchcock Presents and Playhouse 90. His movie break came in the form of a supporting role in the low-budget 1962 Korean War drama War Hunt. (His co-stars included Sydney Pollack, who would go on to direct Redford in six films.) By 1967, when he reprised his stage role for the film version of Neil Simon's Barefoot in the Park, he was a bankable star. Two years later, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid didn't just catapult Redford into the Hollywood firmament — in one of those marvelous tricks of the flickering light, the role imparted some of its romantic, rebel-outlaw mythos (and a lifelong nickname) to the actor himself.
The Redford who appears in a lavish 1970 Life magazine spread titled "Robert Redford Riding High," literally riding high on the back of a horse against a dramatic Utah mountainscape, is scarcely recognizable as the suburban SoCal youth who, barely a decade earlier, wasn't quite sure what he wanted to do with his life. Photographed skiing, snowmobiling, and relaxing with his wife, Lola, and their two children at the home and ski complex that would become known as the Sundance Resort, he is an Olympian vision — a movie-star deity — with an accompanying canonization by film critic Richard Schickel (a friend of Redford's) to seal the deal.
"There are times when it is simply intolerable to have him breezing in and out of your life ... passing through from someplace he makes sound marvelous to someplace he will make sound wonderful," writes Schickel in a particularly perceptive take on the feelings of infatuation and resentment that great movie stars can inspire. "These moments of envious bedazzlement generally occur when you are in a temporarily weakened condition — when all the children have been on penicillin for a week and aren't getting better, when your accountant has just called to tell you your tax bill was a little stiffer than he had originally estimated. In such dreary contexts, Redford stands there with his trim, tan, healthy exterior wrapped around a nervous system entirely innocent of booze, cigarettes and Miltowns, and something inside you harrumphs disapprovingly. Damn fool ought to watch his step."
But though it would be naïve to suggest that Redford was ungrateful for his genetic gifts or never took advantage of them, "sex symbol" is a label he has worn uneasily at best. Accusations that he was a pretty boy and a dramatic lightweight dogged him from his earliest days in the theater. ("He's just another California blond — throw a stick at Malibu, you'll hit six of them," went the famous grumblings of one studio executive when Redford was first proposed for the Sundance Kid role.) And long after he established himself in Hollywood, Redford continued to feel the superficial tugging at the substantive. (It is hardly accidental that, of the seven films he has directed to date, Lions for Lambs is only the second, following 1998's The Horse Whisperer, in which Redford's face appears onscreen.)
"Look, I started in the theater in New York because I was interested in the craft of performing," Redford tells me when I ask him if having one of the most famous mugs on the planet has been something of a mixed blessing, his voice registering a faint note of annoyance at what is clearly a sensitive subject. "I played character parts, villains, rapists, all kinds of different roles. When I went into film and the romantic thing struck, suddenly it was all about that, and then I was perceived as only that. If you're considered a good-looking person, you get hammered on your substance. I could see that coming, and it depressed me, and then it did come, and then it became like a hook in me that I couldn't get rid of."
Until, that is, Redford entered middle age. The talk remained focused on his looks, only now it was about how he was supposedly losing them. ("Weathered and remote" is how The New York Times described Redford's physical appearance in its review of 1990's Havana, released when the actor was 54.) "As you begin to age, then suddenly it's a liability that you're aging," Redford says. "What was I supposed to do? Die in a car crash and stay young forever?"

Jack Baldwin headed Pools in front after 18 minutes, before James Poole doubled their advantage seven minutes after the break.
Pompey youngster Jed Wallace pulled one back for the home side after 67 minutes, but Hartlepool substitute Greg Rutherford netted a third in stoppage time to seal their third victory of the season.
Hughes' men are now 10 points from safety and the Pools boss hopes his side can show the composure needed to close out more games.
He said: "I just hope the games don't run out. But you have to look for inspiration and inspiration can come from so many different places.
"A few weeks ago we went to Sheffield United, and turned them over on their own patch. That gives me inspiration. That tells me as a manager that we're capable of beating most teams in this league.
"But I'm also aware that trepidation can creep into your game, especially when you're winning a match.
"You can feel you have something to lose, but we just have to overcome that. It's time they rolled their sleeves up and when it comes to expectation, we just need to deal with it.
"You have to be a man, go on that stage, deal with the pressure and produce a performance. We have to do that as a team.
"We've got 18 games and 18 cup finals to go. That was the first of them. It's all about digging in and getting results."

Ryanair has upped its growth target and revealed plans to return €1 billion ($1.3 billion) to shareholders, a day after chief executive Michael O'Leary arrived at Le Bourget to confirm a 175-aircraft Boeing order.
The Irish budget carrier had been aiming to boost passenger numbers of 100 million per annum for the financial year ending March 2019, but has raised that goal to 110 million. Projected annual growth has been adjusted from 5% to 7%.
Meanwhile, "at least" €400 million in share buybacks is planned for the current financial year, and up to $600 million in either buybacks or special dividends for next year, though the carrier adds the caveat that this is "subject to current fuel, yields and profitability trends continuing".
When O'Leary ended his self-imposed quarter-century exile from the air-show circuit yesterday, Flightglobal took the opportunity to quiz him about his reasons for choosing Boeing 737-800s over Airbus narrowbodies. Click above for our video interview.
