18th Annual Signature Fundraising Event
Taste for a CureFriday, April 26, 2013Beverly Wilshire HotelHome | Auction | Chefs | Dinner Committee | Giving Honoree | Press | Sponsors | WineriesThe Gil Nickel Humanitarian Award
The Gil Nickel Humanitarian Award was created in memory of Jonsson Cancer Center Foundation event supporter Gil Nickel, proprietor of Napa Valley's Far Niente, Nickel & Nickel and Dolce wineries, who lost a courageous battle against melanoma in October 2003. The Award was established to honor key individuals for their humanitarian efforts, community involvement and commitment to philanthropy. Gil Nickel was a visionary of the Napa Valley wine industry. He was also a gifted nurseryman, champion vintage auto racer, avid motorcyclist and guided missile analyst. While his passions were many, his friends and longtime associates agree that Gil was driven more by his ideals, loyalties, friendships and sense of humor than his business interests. A native of Muskogee, Oklahoma, Gil arrived in California in 1976 to pursue his dream of making world-class wine. Although it was only seven years earlier, at the age of 30, when he enjoyed his first taste of wine, Gil was driven by his passion to establish a Napa Valley wine estate. In 1979, Gil found the old Far Niente winery in Oakville, abandoned for 60 years and in disrepair. Three years later, after a meticulous restoration, Far Niente crushed its first harvest in more than six decades. Gil's work was rewarded with the placement of the property on the National Register of Historic Places. Far Niente's legendary jewel-box beauty, stunning gardens, gracious hospitality, sophisticated style and exceptional quality at every level remain the hallmarks of Gil's legacy. Further success followed, with the 1992 introduction of Dolce, North America's only winery committed exclusively to producing a single, late harvest wine, and the 1997 debut of the single-vineyard winery, Nickel & Nickel. Rarely one to idle, Gil understood the value of living a full life and pursued many other interests beyond the wineries. He enjoyed traveling and counted as friends people from all walks of life in many parts of the world. He was legendary for his ability to tell a story or quip an Oklahoma one-liner. An active collector of vintage cars, Gil held a healthy respect for driving fast – on the racetrack – and spent nearly two decades competing in and winning vintage car races around the world. He also satisfied his lust for the open road on countless motorcycle expeditions, logging a quarter-million miles on his BMW bikes, often with his wife, Beth, as his passenger. The Jonsson Cancer Center Foundation is grateful to Gil Nickel for his past support of UCLA's Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center.

Ladies, we've all been there (trying to cover up our imperfections) but when you know your picture is going to be taken, maybe make sure your makeup is camera friendly?

Austria's Kleinwalsertal is a high mountain valley tucked so close to the foot of a mountain that it can only be reached via Germany.
Once settled by the Walsers who originated from Wallis in Switzerland, the Alemannic dialect is still very much alive. The valley's clearly waymarked trails and free (for holders of a Walsercard) hiking buses make it a resort especially popular with leisure ramblers and families. A few years ago Klaus and Sieglinde Kessler transformed a 500 year old farmhouse into a hotel. Nowadays modern wooden extensions and contemporary design form a dialogue with the traditional Alpine architecture.
The hotel's choice of leisure activities complements the relaxed atmosphere: guided hikes and cycling tours, morning exercise classes, Nordic walking lessons and deep snow lessons. The Naturhotel has been awarded an especially high ranking by the Austrian Relax Guide 2009.

Historical highlights of the progression of the Sarasota Museum of Art/SMOA
October, 2005
SMOA became a division of Ringling College. Together, we are working on transforming historic Sarasota High School.
Fall, 2006
Ringling College and SMOA launched an Architectural Design Competition to select an architectural firm for the Visual Arts Education Center/VAEC. The Jury for the competition was a panel of professionals from various cities. The ADP Group of Sarasota was selected as the winning firm.
Working with the Ringling College and SMOA Building Committee the architectural design firm completed the schematic designs as well as the design and development drawings. In addition, a Virtual Tour was created to show how the 3-story, 57,000 sq ft building will be repurposed. The renovation includes: outdoor sculpture garden, outdoor patio and indoor café, 110-seat auditorium, ADA access, elevators and a 3-story contemporary addition.
November, 2008
During a momentous official ceremony, SMOA and Ringling College received 'the keys' to the Sarasota High School from the Sarasota County School Board. That same day multi-colored banners adorned the building and a large sign 'the Future Home of SMOA' was unveiled on the front lawn.
As a 'museum in the making' SMOA launched its ARTmuse Program. The interesting and diverse ARTmuse programs offer people a preview of what is to come once SMOA is up and running in landmark Sarasota High School. Another highlight of the year was the arrival of a detailed 8' x 6' model of the proposed renovation and the installation of a 10' x 20' realistic mural of the interior walkway into the new addition. Both are on display at Sarasota High School.
Our commitment to educational programming was showcased with visiting world renowned artist Judy Pfaff for SMOA's ARTmuse Program. During this 2-day program there was an actual print making demonstration. Judy and her Master Printmaker, Andy Rubin from Tandem Press of Madison, Wisconsin and Jill Lerner, Master Printmaker and Faculty Member at Ringling College who pulled a proof of an oversized 6'x 8' print. It was an amazing learning experience for all to see. Many thanks go to PNC Wealth Management for sponsoring this program. This same year Dr. Stephen Brown, Assistant Curator from the Jewish Museum of New York, gave an interesting presentation on 'Action/Abstraction'. New banners were unveiled announcing that we are halfway to our fundraising goal.
Sarasota Magazine and PNC Wealth Management hosted a party for SMOA aboard the luxury art megayacht 'SeaFair' which was docked at Marina Jack's. This was a celebration for SMOA's achievements and to support SMOA in our effort to reach our final destination. SMOA's ARTmuse Program featured glass sculptor Seth Randal who is a master of the lost wax process. He demonstrated how he makes his one-of-kind glass sculpture pieces. Fundraising accomplishments – we are more then halfway to the goal.
2012 was an exceptional season for SMOA with a robust and well received series of ARTmuse programs. New life was brought into the historic high school building with curators and visiting artists who gave fascinating presentations differing from each other in personality, format and content.
Here are some of the program highlights of the season starting with the November 11-11-11 Saks/Nuovo 25th Anniversary Party where SMOA was honored as the beneficiary. People filled Michael's on East and enjoyed terrific music, ambiance, food in support of the future art museum, SMOA. December ARTmuse began with Karole Vail (Peggy Guggenheim's granddaughter), a highly respected curator at the Guggenheim in NYC and director of her Family Foundation in France with her husband Andrew Huston, a prominent contemporary artist. They were our guest speakers for two days providing interesting insights to the Guggenheim Museum and the family plus time to be social at a cocktail party. January ARTmuse showcased multi-media artist Lesley Dill whose work is influenced by Emily Dickinson. It was 'up close and personal' for two days and evenings learning about Lesley, how she creates, thinks and produces her unique pieces. IN mid-February Janet Echelman captivated everyone's attention for an entire day with 'Taking Imagination Seriously'…no one wanted to leave their seats. Janet, a Harvard grad, reshapes urban airspace around the world with monumental, fluidly moving sculptural forms constructed with highly sophisticated materials from woven fibers to atomized mist. In 2012 Architectural Digest, Janet was selected 2012 AD Innovator...she's on a trajectory!
Each ARTmuse program was exhilarating, educational and fresh for Sarasota …and, we're doing this while SMOA is 'a museum in the making', happily energizing the visual arts palette and making a difference in Sarasota. Just imagine the future…wow!
Patrick Dougherty was brought to Sarasota for 21 days in January as part of SMOA's ARTmuse Program. Patrick and over 100 volunteers created a magical sculpture, entirely out of crape myrtles at the future home of SMOA.
Sarasota Magazine, Best of 2013 - May Issue: Best New Work of Art, 'Out in Front'. Sarasota Museum of Art scored a hit with Patrick Dougherty's newest 'stickwork' sculpture, 'Out in Front,' on the grounds of the old Sarasota High School, where thousands pass by every day on U.S. 41. Park your car and stroll around this intriguing fusion of nature and craft. Best part: Eager local volunteers got to help Dougherty create it.
In addition, SMOA had a Docent Program and a Sticks and Clicks Photo Contest in which children and adults were eligible and won prizes.
Plus, SMOA's Inaugural BASH was the hit of the Sarasota Season as stated in the Herald Tribune, Style Magazine 2012-2013 by its editor. In her words, "one of my personal favorites was January's Sarasota Museum of Art/SMOA Inaugural BASH. Co-Chairs (and Board Members) Brooke Callanen and Dottie Baer Garner tapped into the community's excitement about the new museum, attracting more than 700 guests to the event. Patrick Dougherty's large-scale environmental sculpture was a huge hit, as was the food from the Sarasota-Manatee Originals and one of the best bands of the year, Tampa's Ace Factor. And the amazing thing was, it never felt crowded. You could move through the old Sarasota High School with ease, with many guests reliving all of those high-school memories."
SMOA was the talk of the town in 2013 with unprecedented media coverage. Please stop by the high school and walk through Patrick's 239th sculpture that he created for SMOA and Sarasota. We're 71% toward the fundraising goal…working hard to reach the finish line.
Lisa Hoke, Installation artist from NYC was part of SMOA's ARTmuse Program. Lisa created 'Swept Away'. This installation, in 2 oversized rooms on the first floor of the high school was a powerful extravaganza. Using colorful cardboard packaging that the community gathered and contributed she completed this massive project in 18 days. Docent Tours took place so that the public could see the artist at work, learn her process and speak with her. The media wrote and documented her process.
In January, 2014 SMOA received a $1 million matching grant. The community rallied. As SMOA exceeded achieving this matching grant an anonymous donor stepped forward with a $1million challenge grant with a deadline stipulation of May 31, 2014. The fabulous news is that SMOA did it! The fundraising goal was accomplished and the renovations could begin. A 'big' thank you and sincere gratitude to the entire community.
With renovations having begun and a national search for the Executive Director underway the exhilaration in the community is electrifying.
On Sunday, January 18th RE:THE BASH! was held on site in the parking lot under a huge and gorgeous tent. This was both a celebration and an opportunity for people to look forward with anticipation and excitement about the tomorrow's at SMOA. Attendance: 602 people. Extraordinary ARTful auction items generated a lot of energy and significant financial support to the future SMOA operations and the first exhibitions. THE BASH! committee leaders created a phenomenal and memorable evening for all.
SMOA will add to the cultural landscape of Sarasota. This unique cultural destination will be a place where people can look forward to learning, enjoying and participating in a broad range of art offerings from exhibitions, visiting artist programs, workshops and classes.
We are proud to be restoring and repurposing the historic Sarasota High School, an icon of Sarasota's architectural heritage.
People in this community have been wonderful, showing their belief and excitement in SMOA.

(b) The chief judge of the court of appeals for the circuit embracing the district in which the case is commenced shall designate the bankruptcy judge to conduct the case.

(d) If the petition is not dismissed under subsection (c) of this section, the court shall order relief under this chapter notwithstanding section 301 (b).
(e) The court may not, on account of an appeal from an order for relief, delay any proceeding under this chapter in the case in which the appeal is being taken; nor shall any court order a stay of such proceeding pending such appeal.

Source(Pub. L. 95–598, Nov. 6, 1978, 92 Stat. 2622; Pub. L. 98–353, title III, § 494,July 10, 1984, 98 Stat. 383; Pub. L. 109–8, title V, § 501(a),Apr. 20, 2005, 119 Stat. 118.)
Historical and Revision Notes
legislative statements
Section 905 of the Senate amendment is incorporated as section 921(b) of the House amendment with the difference that the chief judge of the circuit embracing the district in which the case is commenced designates a bankruptcy judge to conduct the case in lieu of a district judge as under present law. It is intended that a municipality may commence a case in any district in which the municipality is located, as under present law. Section 906 of the Senate amendment has been adopted in substance in section 109(c) of the House amendment.
senate report no. 95–989
Section 905 [enacted as section 921 (b)] adopts the procedures for selection of the judge for the chapter 9 case as found in current section 82(d) [section 402(d) of former title 11]. It is expected that the large chapter 9 case might take up almost all the judicial time of the presiding judge and involve very complex legal questions. Selection should not be left to chance or the luck of the draw. This provision will insure that calendar demands and levels of experience can be considered in the selection of the judge in a chapter 9 case.
house report no. 95–595
Subsection (a) is derived from section 85(a) [section 405(a) of former title 11], second sentence, of current law. There is no substantive change in the law.

Rex Brothers' dreams and explosive fastball were too big for the tiny high school he attended as a sophomore.
As difficult as it was to leave behind childhood friends, he transferred from Class A Community High School to AAA Shelbyville, where the competition on the diamond was far more intense.
"Community is a great school and there's a lot of good people there,'' Brothers said. "But I thought if I ever wanted to pursue a baseball career, transferring to a bigger school was the best thing to do."
It turned out to be a smart move.
A little more than a month before the Major League Baseball Draft, the left-handed junior pitcher is right where he hoped to be.

Kirk Stevens, a laborer with L.E.B. Demolition, watches Wednesday morning as Dustin Beckford drives an excavator to tear off the roof of an unfinished home at 636 SW Curry Street in Port St. Lucie.
L.E.B. Demolition laborer Kirk Stevens separates wood, concrete and construction and demolition debris Wednesday morning at the Port St. Lucie home. The demolition crew will recycle concrete, while wood and debris will be transported to the landfill, according to co-owner Dustin Beckford.
L.E.B. Demolition removes the roof from an unfinished Merix Builders home on SW Curry Street in Port St. Lucie on Sept. 4. The roof removal was the first step in the home's demolition, which L.E.B. co-owner Dustin Beckford estimated would take three to four days to complete.

By: Christopher C. Duke, Ph.D.
Do you ever feel like you are, in some way, a fraud? Despite your successes in life – your good grades, your professional accomplishments, the high praise you receive from others – have you felt like you will eventually be unmasked as an impostor? This feeling is surprisingly common, and has been termed the Impostor Phenomenon (or Syndrome). It's not a "real" disorder (you won't find it in the DSM), but it is a very real phenomenon that affects many genuinely successful people.
First described by Clance and Imes (1978), these feelings are especially prevalent among graduate students, who feel they have been let in by accident, and they will eventually be unmasked as intellectual frauds. This is a concertn that is particularly relevant to the readers of this blog. However, the Impostor Phenomenon often lingers with highly successful professionals. A partial explanation could be that the more we progress in an area, the more we become aware of the limitations of our knowledge and abilities. This is not a new idea; Bertrand Russell said "One of the painful things about our time is that those who feel certainty are stupid, and those with any imagination and understanding are filled with doubt and indecision." But that may not be the whole story; many researchers have suggested the Impostor Phenomenon disproportionately affects women, raising the question of whether internalized negative self-stereotypes may be working to sabotage perceived self-efficacy and the internalization of success.
There is still a lot we don't know about the Impostor Phenomenon – its frequency, distribution among demographic groups, ultimate causes, and how to reduce its negative effects. Much more empirical research is needed. But we can say for sure that if you feel like your successes have somehow been an accident and that it is only a matter of time before you are unmasked, you are by no means alone, and you share this feeling with many of the bright and talented. If you do feel this way, try talking with your friends and advisors about it. You may be surprised to learn just how common it is to feel like an impostor.

Continuing with our celebration of excellence in geek -- the Geek Awards -- we present the 25 best geek characters to grace the silver screen.
To truly separate the great geeks from the good, we had to dig into the true meaning of the term. In today's culture, the term has become a catchall for nerds, hipsters, pariahs, etc. Being a true geek is more than just being awkward, smart or wearing the wrong clothes. It is someone who is overly obsessed with one or more things, usually of a intellectual, electronic, or collecting nature, to the point of societal exclusion. Other factors may accompany that, but those are more byproducts than a root cause.
The rankings were determined by what impact the characters have had in society and the successes their geek tendencies won them in the film(s). (Some actors, of course, play the geek card to perfection -- just look at Christopher Mintz-Plasse, who at the tender age of 21 has already made our list twice.) Ultimately, we went with Richard Clarke's sentiment when he told Stephen Colbert on 'The Colbert Report' that the difference between nerds and geeks is "geeks get it done." Without further ado, these are the geeks who have gotten it done.
25. William Lichter in 'Can't Hardly Wait' (1998)
Geek-tor: Charlie Korsmo
Geekery Focus: Computers, revenge on Mike Dexter, detailed toy dioramas
Geek Quote: "Nobody drink the beer, the beer has gone bad!"
Geek-Down: While the rest of the film's partygoers just want one last night of drunken debauchery with their graduating classmates, valedictorian William has arrived with the intention of humiliating his jock tormentor Mike Dexter (Peter Facinelli). He's obsessed with the revenge plot -- mapping it with a detailed diorama and stationing two geeks on the roof to help. Instead he accidentally gets wasted, sings 'Paradise City' and becomes the life of the party. He goes on to become the most popular geek at Harvard.

24. Chuck Sherman in the 'American Pie' series
Geek-tor: Chris Owen
Geekery Focus: Science fiction, sex, referring to self in third person
Geek Quote: "I'm a sophisticated sex robot, sent back in time to change the future for one lucky lady."
Geek-Down: The Shermanator is an inspiration to struggling geeks everywhere: Stick to your geek guns and eventually you'll be rewarded with a gorgeous, oversexed Russian exchange student. Just be patient, because the payoff may not come until the sequel. In 'American Pie 2,' Nadia (Shannon Elizabeth) even calls him a geek in the throws of passion.

23. Augie Farks in 'Role Models' (2008)
Geek-tor: Christopher Mintz-Plasse
Geekery Focus: Medieval live-action role-playing, chivalry, swordplay
Geek Quote: "Naysayers tell me, 'You should be embarrassed. You should not be fighting. You look like Marvin Hamlisch.' I say, 'Nay, I am not embarrassed. I will fight. Who the f*** is Marvin Hamlisch?'"
Geek-Down: Augie is essentially a Renaissance Fair geek who has gone overboard. He uses his medieval role-playing world to escape the loneliness of high school and his crappy stepfather. Everyone thinks he's a freak, including his "Big" from Sturdy Wings, Danny Donahue (Paul Rudd); but Augie ends up being the most noble character in the film. After defeating the evil king of LAIRE (Ken Jeong), his obsession pays off with the sexy wench Esplen.

22. Ned Gold in '17 Again' (2009)
Geek-tor: Thomas Lennon
Geekery Focus: Technology, fantasy, 'The Lord of the Rings,' Elvish language
Geek Quote: "It's a classic transformation story. Are you now or have you ever been a Norse god, vampire, or time-traveling cyborg?"
Geek-Down: If you find yourself suddenly kicked out of your house and/or transformed into a teenager, Ned is the perfect friend. You can crash at his billionaire mansion due to his technology geekery, and he will believe in the magic that turned you into your teenage self because of his love of fantasy. He also has the ability to actually score a woman after delivering the pickup line, "I think our hands just made a baby."

21. Josie Geller in 'Never Been Kissed' (1999)
Geek-tress: Drew Barrymore
Geekery Focus: Words, writing, Shakespeare
Geek Quote: "Yes, you are a guy. Quite a guy. Oh my. Hey, that rhymes! Yikes. Bikes!"
Geek-Down: Known in high school as "Josie Grossie," Josie has never been able to get over her insecurities of being unpopular. All she wants is to be a reporter for the Chicago Sun Times and get a boyfriend. However, she can't get past copyeditor and "the friend" stage with guys. That is until she goes undercover as a high school student for a story and finds everything she wants. Sometimes you just have to follow your obsessive, unrealistic storyline until it yields a geek jackpot.

20. Wayne Szalinski in 'Honey I Shrunk the Kids' (1989)
Geek-tor: Rick Moranis
Geekery Focus: Science, inventions, electromagnetic shrink rays
Geek Quote: "No, if the machine had blown up the kids, there'd be pieces of them everywhere ..."
Geek-Down: Moranis is a master at playing geeks, and Wayne is his most iconic. An eccentric bordering on nutty scientist, he knows his research will change the world, but he cannot convince NASA. Isn't that always the case? Finally, he develops an electromagnetic ray that doesn't blow things up. The problem is his pesky children accidentally shrink themselves. Wayne figures it out when he finds his "thinking couch" missing. Luckily, his obsessive genius saves the day in the end.

19. Lucas Blye in 'Lucas' (1986)
Geek-tor: Corey Haim
Geekery Focus: Bug collecting, Maggie
Geek Quote: "Either you're an athlete or you're not an athlete."
Geek-Down: Lucas may be the most relatable geek on this list. Most of us have lusted after someone who only sees us as a friend. The difference with Lucas is he turns his laser geek focus on overcoming Maggie's preconceptions of him. He joins the football team and almost dies because of it. While his sacrifice doesn't get him the girl, it does win him school hero status, a letterman jacket and every geek's dream, a school-wide slow clap in his honor.

18. Number 5 in 'Short Circuit' series
Geek-tor: Tim Blaney (voice)
Geekery Focus: Robotics, electronics, toy repair, '80s dance-pop
Geek Quote: "Attractive! Nice software."
Geek-Down: One of five prototype robots designed for the U.S. military's use in the Cold War, Number 5 is recharging when an electrical storm-induced power surge changes the programming. The robot is now geekier than Newton Graham Crosby (Steve Guttenberg), the scientist who created it. After hearing the dance-pop hit 'Who's Johnny?' Number 5 changes its name to Johnny 5 and then eludes the military by building a copy robot for them to destroy. This robotics knowledge helps Johnny 5 return in the sequel build and repair mini-Johnny 5 toys in New York.

17. William Miller in 'Almost Famous' (2000)
Geek-tor: Patrick Fugit
Geekery Focus: Music, journalism
Geek Quote: "Even when I thought I was [cool], I knew I wasn't."
Geek-Down: William is based on a real geek, director Cameron Crowe, who himself became a teenage music writer for 'Rolling Stone.' During the '70s, the magazine was the hippest source for culture. Ironically, you had to be a music-obsessed geek to work there. William fits the bill -- being super-intelligent, socially awkward from always being younger than his classmates and using music to escape his overbearing mother. For a while he's lured into believing he's cool by rock stars. Thankfully that evaporates, otherwise we wouldn't have Cameron Crowe movies today.

16. Enid in 'Ghost World' (2001)
Geek-tress: Thora Birch
Geekery Focus: Vintage stuff, vinyl records, hating happy people
Geek Quote: "That's not true. I just hate all these extroverted, obnoxious, pseudo-bohemian losers."
Geek-Down: Enid did geek chic way before American Apparel became popular. The most bitter geek on the list, her self-deprecating humor and hatred of anyone not socially inept rival any of Janeane Garofalo's standup acts. She's likely such a great character because she was born from the mind of a comics geek, Daniel Clowes. Yet the thing that really sets her apart is she sleeps with a character played by Steve Buscemi. What better geek love it there than that?

15. George McFly in 'Back to the Future' series
Geek-tor: Crispin Glover, Jeffrey Weissman
Geekery Focus: Science fiction, writing
Geek Quote: "Last night, Darth Vader came down from planet Vulcan and told me that if I didn't take Lorraine out that he'd melt my brain."
Geek-Down: George answers the question most high school geeks wonder: "What would happen if I stood up to my bully?" After George punches Biff, he gets the girl and becomes a successful sci-fi writer in the future, able to hire Biff to work for him. Unfortunately, eccentric geek actor Glover refused to return for the sequels, and Weissman had to fill his orthotics shoes. Otherwise, we'd have more George McFly scenes to love.

14. Andy Stitzer in 'The 40-Year-Old Virgin' (2005)
Geek-tor: Steve Carell
Geekery Focus: Electronics, action figures, collecting, video games, tuba
Geek Quote: "I'm a virgin."
Geek-Down: Andy being a virgin at 40 years old is sad on a few levels. Obviously, the first is that he's never had sex. On the other hand, it's sad because the reason stems from his contentment with hanging by himself, in his one-bedroom apartment, with all of his collectibles and video game accessories around him. However, the thing that kept him from a normal life -- his collecting -- ultimately pays off when he is able to sell his sweet stash and use the money to start his own electronics business.

13. Max Fischer in 'Rushmore' (1998)
Geek-tor: Jason Schwartzman
Geekery Focus: Rushmore Academy, theater, clubs, teachers
Geek Quote: "My top schools where I want to apply to are Oxford and the Sorbonne. My safety's Harvard."
Geek-Down: Max is the worst student at Rushmore Academy, but it's not for a lack of interest. He is obsessed with joining and starting school clubs: beekeeping, stamp and coin collecting, French, model United Nations, wrestling, etc. The only thing that can make him stray from this course is a pretty British teacher, who ultimately brings about Max's downfall when he tries to build her an aquarium on the baseball diamond.

12. Garth Algar in 'Wayne's World' series
Geek-tor: Dana Carvey
Geekery Focus: Music, inventing, gadgets, cable access, "schwinging"
Geek Quote: "Hey Mr. Donut Man, who's trying to kill ya? I don't know but they better not!"
Geek-Down: Also one of the best sidekicks of all time, Garth backs up Wayne (Mike Myers) on their cable access show and drums the theme song on his lap, "Wayne's World! Wayne's World! Party time! Excellent!" The most popular geek around Aurora, Illinois, he drives his fire-painted Gremlin around cranking Queen, invents random gadgets to keep himself busy and voices little men he makes from doughnuts.

11. Dr. Frankenstein in 'Young Frankenstein' (1974)
Geek-tor: Gene Wilder
Geekery Focus: Medical school, re-animating the dead
Geek Quote: "I am not a Frankenstein. I'm a Fronkensteen."
Geek-Down: In the beginning, Frankenstein tries to deny his family name and becomes a respected lecturer at an American medical school. When he inherits his family estate in Transylvania, he moves there and resumes his grandfather's quest for re-animating the dead. Unfortunately, his assistant Igor steals a brain marked, "Do Not Use This Brain! Abnormal," and everything goes downhill from there.

10. Louis Skolnick & Gilbert Lowell in 'Revenge of the Nerds' (1984)
Geek-tors: Anthony Edwards and Robert Carradine
Geekery Focus: Nerd rights, computer science, frat life
Geek Quote: "I just wanted to say that I'm a nerd, and I'm here tonight to stand up for the rights of other nerds."
Geek-Down: Best friends Louis and Gilbert enroll at Adams College to study computer science and have a good time. However, when the football team accidentally burns down their frat house, they seize the freshman dorm for themselves -- forcing the geeks to live in the gym. Louis and Gilbert refuse to stand for it and fight back, starting their own fraternity complete with panty raids. They really stick it to the jocks by winning the annual Greek Games and sleeping with the head jock's girlfriend on the moon bounce.
9. Milton Waddams in 'Office Space' (1999)
Geek-tor: Stephen Root
Geekery Focus: Swingline stapler, public radio, revenge against Initech
Geek Quote: "Excuse me, I believe you have my stapler ..."
Geek-Down: 'Office Space' is based on Mike Judge's original series of animated shorts, 'Milton,' so it makes sense the character would shine through with the best lines. Milton only wants a few things in life: to listen to his radio on at a reasonable volume, to have consistency in his work environment, to eat a piece of cake and to hang onto his Swingline stapler. When he doesn't get these things, he explains that he will burn down the building. Of course, no one pays attention because he's mumbling. In the end, Milton proves that the meek will inherit the money.

8. Richard 'Data' Wang in 'The Goonies' (1985)
Geek-tor: Jonathan Ke Quan
Geekery Focus: Gadgets, inventing, booby traps, James Bond
Geek Quote: "Hey I've got a great idea you guys! Slick shoes!"
Geek-Down: Since Data doesn't have Q like Bond does, he's forced to invent his own gadgets. At first they seem pointless and silly, but they end up saving lives when the Goonies venture into the caves to find One-Eyed Willie's treasure. His inventions like Pinchers of Peril inspired a generation of '80s children to disassemble their toys and parents' electronics in attempts to invent their own gadgets.

7. Chris Knight in 'Real Genius' (1985)
Geek-tor: Val Kilmer
Geekery Focus: Science, lasers, ladies, elaborate pranks
Geek Quote: "Ick invented a nude virus and we're going to release it in Kent's room."
Geek-Down: Very few make geekery look as cool as does Chris Knight. The most brilliant student in the elite university Pacific Tech, he learned early on that college is as much for meeting women and goofing off as it is for studying. Despite his distractions, Chris invents a laser "hotter than the sun" and then uses it to get back at evil Professor Hathaway, who wants it as a weapon for the CIA. House full of popcorn, anyone?
'Real Genius' vs. 'Weird Science'

6. David Lightman in 'WarGames' (1983)
Geek-tor: Matthew Broderick
Geekery Focus: Hacking computers, starting World War III
Geek Quote: "Let's play Global Thermonuclear War."
Geek-Down: In a time when computers were not in every home, David Lightman reigned supreme. He didn't have to study for class because he could just hack into the school's computers and change his grade. Looking for new challenges and games, he hacks into the NORAD supercomputer, WOPR, and accidentally incites World War III. Fortunately, David's computer geekdom also saves the day when he teaches the computer futility.

5. Hermione Granger in 'Harry Potter' series
Geek-tress: Emma Watson
Geekery Focus: Magic, Hogwarts, proving she's no regular Muggle
Geek Quote: "I hope you're pleased with yourselves. We could all have been killed -- or worse, expelled."
Geek-Down: A Muggle-born Gryffindor student, Hermione is determined to prove she's as good or better than any student born from magical parents. Author JK Rowling calls her a "borderline genius," and throughout the series, Hermione proves herself to be the best student in Harry Potter's year -- repeatedly being the first to master each new spell or charm. Without her guidance, Harry often wouldn't know what to do with all his talent.

4. Peter Parker in the 'Spider-Man' series
Geek-tor: Tobey Maguire
Geekery Focus: Photography, science, crime-fighting, Mary Jane
Geek Quote: "Some spiders change colors to blend into their environment. It's a defense mechanism."
Geek-Down: Stan Lee designed Spider-Man's alter ego to appeal to high school geeks who dreamed of fighting their bullies. Film geek director Sam Raimi only added to Peter Parker's geek charm. For example, in 'Spider-Man 3,' when Peter gets a taste of the extraterrestrial symbiote that creates Venom, he becomes geeky arrogant instead of cocky cool. Does anyone really believe geeks would only use superpowers for good? They would at least steal a few comic books.

3. Fogell in 'Superbad' (2007)
Geek-tor: Christopher Mintz-Plasse
Geekery Focus: Fake IDs, fake names, vests
Geek Quote: "I am McLovin."
Geek-Down: No high school geek has ever lived through a crazier, more amazing night than Fogell: buying booze, getting punched in the face, drinking with cops, shooting guns, blowing up cars, losing his virginity ... Renaming himself McLovin is a moment of geek genius that only he recognized, as is the case with true genius at first.

2. Spock in the 'Star Trek' series
Geektor: Leonard Nimoy, Zachary Quinto
Geekery Focus: Language, science, technology, mastering emotion
Geek Quote: "I am endeavoring, ma'am, to construct a mnemonic circuit using stone knives and bearskins."
Geek-Down: The son of a Vulcan ambassador and a human woman, Spock is only alive because Vulcan scientists intervened during his mother's pregnancy and placed his fetus in a specially designed gestation environment. You can see, he was meant to be a geek before even being born. Spock (last name unpronounceable by humans) has saved the USS Enterprise with his calm wit and genius countless times. He'll no doubt save it countless more with the re-imagining of the series.

1. Anthony Michael Hall in everything from 1982 to 1985
Best Geek Roles: The Geek in 'Sixteen Candles,' Brian Johnson in 'The Breakfast Club,' Garry Wallace in 'Weird Science'
Geekery Focus: Academics, girls' underwear, computers, science, '80s culture
Geek Quote: "I've never bagged a babe. I'm not a stud."
Geek-Down: No geek-tor has had a better run than Anthony Michael Hall from 1982 to 1985. During that time, he went from a skinny dorky actor to A-list celebrity based solely on his ability to nail the geek character perfectly in a high school film. He took geeks from quiet background characters to the forefront. Hall's stardom only faded because he decided to beef up and try to play the alpha male rather than continuing to embrace being the king of geekdom.

The final day of training in Ave Maria saw a spirited hour and a half session before the coaching staff held a Q&A with members of the Florida Fire Juniors club. See photos of the day's proceedings below:
After nearly a month of training camp and an early January trip to Brazil, Fire forward Mike Magee and goalkeeper Sean Johnson are set for Saturday afternoon's U.S. friendly vs. South Korea at StubHub Center in Carson, Calif.
For Johnson, January camp has become part of his preseason routine, while Magee's only been to one previous camp, way back in 2005. The 2013 MLS MVP spoke to ESPNFC's Doug McIntyre about his hopes of finally receiving his first U.S. cap at the age of 29 on Saturday and goal of making the U.S. team for this summer's FIFA World Cup in Brazil.
Catch the U.S. take on South Korea Saturday at 4:00pm CT on ESPN2, Watch ESPN and Unimas.
UPDATE: U.S. Soccer has announced Magee will not dress for today's friendly due to food poisoning. I don't even know what to say. We love you Mike, feel better.
New Fire assistant coach Clint Mathis scored a few goals in his career, many of which were stunning.
There was this darting run in 2001 vs. Dallas that wound up winning MLS Goal of the Year.
There was also this one-time volley from 2004 while playing for Hannover 96 in Germany.
But if you got this far into this blog post and didn't already know what the favorite goal of Clint's career was, you haven't been a U.S. Soccer fan long enough. Of course you know what it is:
Daegu, South Korea.
June 10, 2002.
John O'Brien.
24th minute.
Deft touch with his right.
Beautiful finish with his left.
Jack Edwards: "That's why he's here!"
When I asked him this question which was very easily answered, Clint, with his Southern Charm, responded like he'd never been asked before saying, "The goal in 2002. That's one that my kids can tell their grandkids and it's one of those situations where I have some goals I remember playing in the league but it's different when you score in MLS vs. the World Cup.
"I think the significance behind that goal – it ended up being the one goal we needed to get out of the group because of the other results that happened on the final day to put us through – you just can't rate anything higher than that. You can't forget it."
Ahhh, just watch it again:
As Sunday's first preseason friendly vs. Florida Gulf Coast University approaches, more number choices are being made.
Today's "Numbers Game" features the club's two new Homegrown players Chris Ritter and Harry Shipp who have chosen #21 and #19 respectively. Asked if their was any significance behind their number choice, both said, "No, not really."
Thanks guys!
The #19 shirt has been worn by nine players previously and was actually worn by six different player's in the club's first five years. Those were Josh Keller, Jeff Zaun, Yuri Lavrinenko, Chad Prince and David Vaudreuil before Craig Capano donned the shirt from 2002-2004. Jim Curtin's little brother Jeff wore #19 in 2007 while Corben Bone was the most recent #19 from 2010-2013.
Most notably, Chad Barrett (pictured above) switched to the #19 shirt in 2008 when the club acquired Tomasz Frankowski who moved into the #9 shirt. Barrett wore #19 for half a season before being dealt to Toronto FC in the Brian McBride trade that August. So in closing, Harry has the chance to really make #19 his own.
Conversely, Ritter is just the fourth player in club history to wear the #21 shirt. Michael Videira most recently wore it the past three seasons but before him, two of the club's top offensive leaders wore #21.
They were...
Dema Kovalenko (1999-2002)
Justin Mapp (2003-2010)
Coincidentally, the Fire acquired Mapp from D.C. United for Dema Kovalenko prior to the start of the 2003 MLS campaign. Kovalenko sits fourth on the club's All Competitions goal scoring list with 26, while Mapp sits fourth on the All Competitions assists list with 35.

After two years of being the only #71 in Chicago Fire history, Brazilian midfielder Alex has decided to move to a more traditional soccer number in 2014 and will now wear #7.
Some of the other #7s in Chicago Fire history are below:
DaMarcus Beasley (#7 from 2000-2004)
John Thorrington (#7 from 2005-2006)
Logan Pause (#7 from 2007-2008)
Other #7's in Chicago Fire History: Manny Lagos (1998), Paul Dougherty (1999), Alexandre Boucicaut (2004), Stefan Dimitrov (2010), Mike Banner (2011), Sherjill MacDonald (2012-2013).
Stay tuned throughout the week as we unveil more number switches and choices by the newbies in Fire camp.
After doing only conditioning work shortly after arriving in Ave Maria Sunday night, the team held their first full training session Monday morning.
Frank Yallop and staff split the players up into three groups that rotated between three stations focusing on conditioning work, small-sided games with small goals and possession.
Monday afternoon half of the players in camp head to the weight room while another group gets back on the field for another session. Check out some of Monday's photos below:
When you go on preseason with the Chicago Fire, there are just certain things you get used to...
- All the soccer you can handle
- All the Chicago Fire training gear you can handle
- Three minute drives to Ave Maria's North Park
- A drink or three at the local Queen Mary Pub
- Animals at training...
Yes, those that remember our run-in with Charlie the Alligator during training camp last year in Charleston, would be happy to know that we had a cow, who I'm calling Merle, pull up and watch our small-sided games today.
Merle obviously reads Always on the Inside because when I went to switch my camera to record video, she quickly moved along for fear of becoming what some know as "Charlie the Alligator-famous".. Alas, all I got was this photo:
I'll still keep you posted if she comes back this week...
After a day of travel, the Chicago Fire first team arrived at its preseason home for the next week Sunday afternoon here in Ave Maria, Fla. Frank Yallop's first training session was a relaxed affair as Strength and Conditioning Coach Tony Jouaux led the team through a lengthy jog, stretching and stride exercises to loosen the muscles.
The team will begin regular sessions Monday morning at 10:30am ET at Ave Maria's North Park. See photos of today's session below:

What back bar would be complete without a proper bar sink doing its duty? As efficient and energetic as your staff may be during happy hour, everything would fall apart if the bar sink stopped working. The sink serves as a centerpiece on the back line, and when dishes need washed, buckets need filled, or food scraps need to be blasted away, bar sinks are there to do the dirty work for you. Find the right one for your eatery, commercial restaurant, or bar, and keep the water flowing when business is booming.

I'm Ordained.Friday, November 16th, 2012
…so everything I say is doctrine.
I recently conducted a wedding for one of my closest friends and was asked to write up a wedding ceremony that was very "me." Below is such a ceremony. I removed their names because…well because that would be annoying for their Google Alerts when the popularity of this post EXPLODES THE INTERNET.
BARON (Opening):
I'd like to begin with a quote that perfectly sums up todays events…
"Mawage. Mawage is wot bwings us togeder tooday. Mawage, that bwessed awangment, that dweam wifin a dweam…" (-Princess Bride)
Friends and Family, Mothers and Fathers, Brothers and Sisters, Aunts, Uncles, Nieces, Nephews, and all kinds of Cousins welcome! And thank you for traveling to be with us today from however far you were physically or psychologically. You are here because you are loved and we love that you are here.
And WHY are we here? Well…
We are gathered here today to join Female Name and Male Name in matrimony, and to bear witness to these betrothed as they change their Facebook statuses to "Totes Married."
Marriage has come a long way in the history of the world. We've gone from "The Elders have chosen a wife for you"
"How can we stop this war with France? (snaps fingers) I've got it!"
"We met in grad school, hit it off, agreed on the big stuff, and fell in love" #ThisWedding
We've all seen a marriage or two. Some of us have BEEN in a marriage or two. Regardless, of our personal experiences, I think we can all agree that what these two people are doing before us of today is INSANE. It's NUTS. It's out there. It's pretty out there. And isn't that GREAT?! We all hope to find the kind of insanity these two right here have found. The insanity to trust. The craziness to share. And the "out there-ness" of creating a partnership. It's a beautiful insanity. This is why we're all helping them get committed. In the words of Rhodes Scholar, Gwen Stefani "This [expletive deleted] is Bananas – B-A-N-A-N-A-S."
(There was a reading here about togetherness. Then I continued…)
BARON (Love Cliff):
(singing): "What is love?" (-Haddaway)
Love is a hard thing to define, and yes, that's an understatement. It seems that one always ends up with a contradiction wrapped in a rambling metaphor. Excuse me while I ramble a metaphor.
When a person describes Love it's essentially the same as climbing to the top of a cliff and looking over the edge. All you can do is say what you THINK you'll feel, what you hope it to be, what you expect to happen. You may be right and you may be wrong in your observations, but you can only know once you jump. And THEN with all the language at your disposal, you can only come up with "falling." This is because the event is within itself the event. Love is an event. It's a precise unknown. These two youngsters have gone up on that cliff, and today, hand in hand, will take a leap.
(Yes, I know that was more of a simile. There was another reading here. A poem that started with lots of languages about hands. Then I continued…)
BARON (Intentions):
(This was replaced with something more traditional. I put my original intentions back in. They're silly but I thought they were real at the core.)
Male Name will you answer the questions that follow this question?
Are you totally into her?
Do you swear to cherish her hot mind just as much as her hot bod?
Do you swear to listen to and really consider what she says when she calls you on your BS?
Do you swear to be considerate and respectful when you call her on her BS?
Do you swear to love and to cherish, to have and to hold, in sickness in health to the best of your known abilities til death do you part?
If you decide to stick around her after your own death, do you swear to be a really chill ghost?
Female Name will you answer the questions that follow this question?
Are you totally into him?
Do you swear to cherish his hot mind just as much as his hot bod?
Do you swear to listen to and really consider what he says when he calls you on your BS?
Do you swear to be considerate and respectful when you call him on his BS?
Do you swear to love and to cherish, to have and to hold, in sickness in health to the best of your known abilities til death do you part?
And you'll also be a really cool really laid back ghost too right?
Now these two wordsmiths would like exchange vows that they have written. I know, you're all thinking that I'm a hard act to follow, but again let's show some support and give them a chance. It will not be easy, but we did come all this way. So please, vow it up.
(Personalized Vows followed by another reading.)
BARON (The Rings):
And now we've come to the "Exchange of the Rings" also known as "The Last Part."
The rings please.
The ring has no beginning and it has no end, it symbolizes two lives joined in one unbroken circle. Place it on a finger of your partner. Actually, the ring finger would be the perfect finger to pick right now.
Repeat after me: with this ring, I thee wed.
LOVERS' REPLY: With this ring, I thee wed.
BARON: Seriously though. I'm totally marrying you right now.
LOVERS' REPLY: Seriously though. I'm totally marrying you right now.
BARON: By the power vested in me and the power vested in always wanting to say that, I now pronounce you Husband and Wife. SO MAKE OUT ALREADY!

Hansen's disease, also known as Leprosy, is a chronic disease resulting from infection with a bacterium known as Mycobacterium leprae. The bacterium multiplies very slowly and mainly affects the skin, nerves, and mucous membranes. There are two common forms of the disease, tuberculoid and lepromatous, and both forms produce sores on the skin.
New cases of Hansen's disease in the U. S. are few, diagnosed mainly in California, Florida, Hawaii, Louisiana, Texas, New York City, and Puerto Rico.
Hansen's disease is reportable to the Iowa Department of Public Health by Iowa Administrative Code 641 IAC 1.
Symptoms of Hansen's disease can appear anywhere from nine months to 20 years after exposure. Symptoms include:
The lepromatous form can also result in a chronically stuffy nose.
Although how Hansen's disease is spread remains uncertain, most investigators think that M. leprae is usually spread person-to-person in respiratory droplets after prolonged close contact. Most people probably are not susceptible.
Children are more susceptible to Hansen's disease than adults. Also, people in close contact with infected individuals for long periods of time are at an increased risk of becoming infected.
Prevention consists of avoiding close physical contact with infected individuals who are not being treated. Patients who have been treated with effective antibiotics for three days are no longer considered contagious. People with Hansen's disease, including health care providers, can return to their regular activities (including work and school) after receiving effective treatment for three days.
There are effective antibiotics available to treat Hansen's disease. These drugs must be given long-term (at least two years) in order to be successful. Anyone who suspects they may be suffering from this disease should consult their health care provider.
There was one case of Hansen's disease reported to IDPH in 2013.

The Watertown Red and Black is anxious to say goodbye to its bye weeks.
The nations oldest semipro football team will host the Syracuse Shock (4-2) at 7 tonight at the Alex T. Duffy Fairgrounds in just its third game against an Empire Football League opponent since July 20.
The Red and Black, entering with a 3-4 overall record and 3-3 in the EFL, hasnt played on consecutive Saturdays in more than a month.
We have not had any rhythm this year, Red and Black coach George Ashcraft said. There is no such thing as saying were getting in sync because when you have these bye weeks every other week, you cant get in sync.
The Montreal Voyageurs notified the EFL of its intent to take a one-year hiatus after the league schedule had been released this offseason. Montreals removal left the EFL with just six teams.
The leagues response was to award teams a forfeit victory for every game against Montreal on their respective schedules. The Red and Black was scheduled to play the Voyageurs on July 27 and Aug. 17.
Ashcraft tried to schedule nonleague games in place of those Montreal dates, but was unable to get any team to agree to play.
The constant byes have created difficulty in sustaining momentum from game-to-game for a team filled with new players in key spots that could benefit from the additional game time.
Its tough. I think the biggest thing is it takes a toll on the offensive line. They cant really get a cohesiveness going, veteran linebacker and defensive captain Rob Hughes said.
Games are where you get the most opportunities to work together and when they call out blitzes, picking up blocks and things like that. Its hard for the new guys when we havent played a whole lot of games and all the bye weeks in between, it doesnt help.
First-year quarterback Tyler Michaelwicz looks at it from a different perspective.
He said the team should benefit from the extra practices and preparation time, but that hasnt necessarily been the case.
If anything it should be an advantage for us. But at the same time, weve got some guys that kind of blow off practice on those bye weeks because we have the bye, he said. So its like a Catch-22, really. We got the time to really prepare if the guys are there, but if theyre not there, theres nothing you can really do.
Montreals exit from the league means that all six EFL teams will qualify for the playoffs.
The Red and Black, with only tonights game and a Sept. 21 date at Plattsburgh remaining on its schedule, could fall anywhere from second to fifth in the playoff bracket.
If the Red and Black wins out, it will finish no lower than third. With help from other game results, it could finish second, clinching a first-round bye and a home game in the second round.
Playoffs begin on Sept. 28 and the EFL title game is slated for Oct. 12 at the field of the highest remaining seed.

While there are the four most common skin types oily/acne, dry/mature, sensitive, and normal/combination — none of us have cookie-cutter skin. You may have normal skin with an oily T-zone, or dry skin that is also sensitive, or oily skin that is sensitive...the list goes on and on.
The most important step in choosing your skincare is first determining exactly which products work for your skin. You may need to use a different moisturizer on your forehead, nose, and chin than on your cheeks and neck. Or maybe you have dry skin but require a cleanser with acne-fighting ingredients. Tailor-make your skincare to your individual needs.
Two very common issues are dry skin or oily/acne skin that is also sensitive. First, many women believe their skin to be sensitive when it may be a reaction to the toxic chemicals used to make conventional skin care. You may find that your sensitivity lessens, or even disappears, once you begin using natural skin care. You may also have sensitivity to certain ingredients. Look over your product labels and see if you can identify a common culprit.
Another cause of irritation is often due to over-cleansing and drying out the skin. If you are concerned about breakouts you may be using too harsh a cleanser on your face, sapping the skin of moisture (even oily skin needs hydration), which results in over-production of oil and breakouts. In this case, a mild cleanser and light moisturizer usually works wonders.
Just because you love a couple of products from one line does not mean you have to use the entire line or can't substitute a product from another. You may love the FACES Calendula Cleansing Gel from the Normal/Combo line, with the Wild Rose Toner for balance, Calendula Balancing Cream on the T-zone, with MyAge Eye Cream and Night Cream for over-night. It is all about finding what works for YOU.
As Liz Thompson, beauty editor of Organic Beauty Source, stated in this month's issue of JAYE Magazine..."Your beauty drawer should be as individual as you are. I think many women make the mistake of using what their best friend uses on her skin, or their sister, or their favorite movie star. Use products that are suited to your individual skin type and issues. If you are uncertain what your type is, ask a professional. And you do not have to use all of the products from a line just because it matches your skin type." Lavera skin care is all natural and completely free from harmful chemical ingredients.
