EPA (re)Discovers BPA - YAY!
May 20 2010 | Rise Above Plastics,
by scott harrison
Frankly, this shouldn't be all that surprising (93%?! - WT*?), considering that BPA is delivered to you, at no extra charge, by way of sources like plastic drink bottles and even the liners of the majority of canned foods! You pretty much have to be Amish to avoid the stuff…
What's the fuss? BPA is a "reproductive, developmental and systemic toxicant", according to the EPA's own Action Plan Summary. Translated: BPA can cause lab frogs to change sexual orientation (not meaning that they 'go gay' - it's more of a sex-change operation) as they grow through adolescence, among other things, so the thought of what it may do to humans is well, scary. The fact that the EPA is just now getting on the bandwagon with/against BPA, now that we all have it in our bodies, is even scarier.
Why does Rise Above Plastics care? BPA is a poison that is very useful as a "binder & stabilizer" for plastic formulas, and it leeches into our oceans as plastics photodegrade there (see: North Pacific Gyre)...and absorb other Persistent Organic Pollutants, which fish then inadvertently eat, which we then inadvertently eat...and well, as you can see, it's complicated...!
Read the NFM article here…its is packed with helpful links to more info about BPA and all of the organizations involved in this recent revelation.
Other BPA fun-links:
Another report of the new EPA plan, from a plastics industry website.
Wikipedia entry for BPA.
Product description by a company that produces BPA for sale.
Ancient articles about concerns of BPA are easy to find...just internet search "BPA" or "bisphenol-A".
Looking forward to a plastics-free day - have a good'un!

We called Pap's mother Mamaw. By the time I came along there were 7 grandkids ahead of me-so her moniker was already well established. Mamaw died when I was in 5th grade.
Even though I was so young, I have great memories of Mamaw. She babysat me for Granny so I spent lots of time with her. Some memories are sharp and clear, most are soft and hazy; but all my memories of Mamaw make me feel safe and loved.
One time Papaw told me he loved me because he remembered how Mamaw fell in love with me when I was born and that I was always her favorite. That made me feel so special-until I heard Papaw tell 2 other grandchildren the same thing! But that was Papaw-and in reality the statement was true in his mind-he loved all his grandchildren and I'm sure each grandchild was Mamaw's favorite as well.
Pap is alot like Mamaw-and I'd like to think I am too. She was quiet and reserved, but could laugh about stuff too. Mamaw never seemed to get excited-even the time her bathroom door had to be taken down because Paul locked himself in there somehow-the little rat! Looking back-I can see Mamaw's life wasn't the easiest-but I think she enjoyed it-I think she lived it the best she could.
Mamaw had heart problems. A week before she died (way to early at the age of 67), she told Granny she had had a good life-she'd lived to see her children grown and married- and even lived to enjoy her grandchildren.
One of my sharp Mamaw memories:
Me standing on the couch looking out the big window where the black crouching panther set on the sill. Mamaw getting her ironing board out-the screech of sound-the dust motes dancing in the air-the smell of tea. Mamaw using her sprinkler to dampen the clothes before she ironed them. Me asking why she was doing that? Mamaw explaining why and letting me turn the glass coke bottle upside down to try sprinkling myself.

Chamomile for Babies
Chamomile:The Wonder Herb
I absolutely love this herb. When Brianna was a few weeks old she was crying every evening at the same time (characteristic of gas/colic). Our Pediatrician recommended .5oz of Chamomile Tea. She stopped crying the minute I gave it to her. I gave it to her anytime I saw signs of gassiness or discomfort and this herb worked wonders! No more crying, no more kicking her legs in pain. She was new baby, I couldn't believe how well this worked. I gave her the chamomile tea very diluted, if you make it too strong your baby may reject it. This is my favorite Chamomile Tea. It is very smooth, plus it's organic. The best part, you can get it for a great price on Amazon, a little over $2/box. Try giving the Chamomile tea a little at a time to see how your baby tolerates it. Although I have never heard of any dangers, please check with your Pediatrician before you take any of my advice.
Colic, gas, sore tummy,
Chamomile tea can soothe a colicky or gassy baby. Although colic has no identifiable cause, it can stem from gastrointestinal discomfort. Chamomile has long been a remedy for intestinal spasms so that's why it works great for colic. It has been used for centuries and has a long track record for safety. In one of two clinical trials published by the American Academy of Pediatrics "68 healthy term infants who had colic (2 to 8 weeks old) received either herbal tea (German chamomile, vervain, licorice, fennel, balm mint) or placebo tea (glucose, flavoring). Each infant was offered treatment with every bout of colic, up to 150 mL/dose, no more than three times a day. After 7 days of treatment, parents reported that the tea eliminated the colic in 57% of the infants, whereas placebo was helpful in only 26% (P<0.01). No adverse effects were noted in either group."
There are huge differences in gas, colic, and simple tummy troubles. Some babies even have sleep troubles, such as not being able to fall asleep on their own, and appear to have gas pains. The crying is very similar to the crying of gas or tummy issues. Learn more about gas, colic, and sleep troubles.
Better sleep
Chamomile is also known for its soothing and relaxing properties. It is used as a natural sleep aid. So not only will it sooth a gassy baby but help your baby relax. Babies need their sleep just as much as we do. This herb can help relax a inconsolable baby so both of you can be happy. If you need more help, see how I can help your baby sleep through the night!
No need to use dangerous over the counter teething jells. The FDA issued a warning against the use of those products anyway. Chamomile is great for teething. Soak a clean washcloth in the tea and let your baby gnaw on it. The soaked wash cloth can also be frozen for an added benefit. It also does wonders for teething when given to drink. 1-2oz should be enough depending on the age of your baby. The relaxing property of the herb will help take the edge off the teething pain naturally.
Buy a Sassy Strawberry or Grape Teether. You can put ice cubes in it, dip it in the chamomile tea and put it back in the freezer for a couple minutes. This works great for teething!
Studies have also confirmed that Chamomile has anti-bacterial, anti-inflammatory, anti-pyretic, anti-allergenic properties. However, because I strongly suggest those types of serious conditions be investigated by your pediatrician, I will not even include the uses of Chamomile in such conditions. I do not advocate any home treatment of infections, rashes, or fevers etc. I'm just simply sharing the endless wonders of Chamomile with you.

my 11 month old daughter cut her first two teeth at the start of august, it is now the end of october, and in the past two weeks she has cut three more with one more getting ready to erupt. she is in a lot of pain, i have tried the hazelwood/amber bead necklaces, tylenol, frozen teething rings, ice cubes in the mesh fruit holders, cold washcloths, and now baby oragel, NOTHING seems to be soothing her at this point...last night she cried in my arms for an hour in pain. thank you for posting this about chamomile tea, i will be trying it tomorrow for sure, and will let you know what i discover. maybe our house can go back to a full nights sleep again!!!!ReplyDeleteReplies
Please do! Also, talk to your pediatrician about ibuprofen because tylenol does very little for teething pain.Delete

Is the recommended dosage .5 ounce per day? And how much water should it be mixed with?ReplyDeleteReplies
Again you should check with your Pediatrician, but what I did was boil the water put it in an 8oz cup. I then took the tea bag and dipped it about 3-4 times, each dip about 2 seconds. That way you have a nice light tea that's not too strong for your baby. Then I took about .5-1oz of the tea and put it in a baby bottle for her to drink. I covered the cup and put the rest in the fridge (I would throw it out after 2-3days) I started with .5oz a day, when I saw she did ok with it I sometimes did 2 times a day. As she got older (4-5mos) I increased to 2-3oz. Hope this help Good luck!Delete

Hi Violet,Delete
How old is your daughter now? Are you still giving her the chamomile tea for colic or gas?
My daughter is 13 months and seems to get gassy a lot at night and is not sleeping well. We tried transitioning to whole milk which I think brought up the gas. Now we are going to try the lactate one so hopefully it will go away, but we all need to get some sleep so I wanted to get your advice on the tea. Thank you very much, Eli
Hi have you seen or heard of the homeopathic pellets? They make them for all kinds of symptoms and there is a chamomile one ,just wondering if you've had any experience with thisReplyDelete

LILBURN - Lilburn police have issued several felony arrest warrants for Oginga Kai Edwards, who they have identified as the suspect in the robbery of a Dollar General Store last week.Police said Edwards has used several aliases, including Malik Edwards, Malik Jahid and Ira Gene Powell. "He's obviously trying to hide his identity from authorities," said Lilburn police Sgt. Tyler Thomas. Thomas said police believe Edwards is about 32 years old and from Louisiana. He cautioned that police consider Edwards "armed and very dangerous" and that he could still be in the Atlanta area. A search on the Georgia Department of Corrections Web site for "Ira Gene Powell" revealed the suspect was previously incarcerated for a 1997 robbery in Fulton County. According to the Web site, he was jailed for five years and released in October 2002. The robbery at the Dollar General occurred about 9 p.m. July 24 as workers began to close the discount store at 5570 Lawrenceville Highway. The robber, described as a heavyset black man wearing a Hawaiian-style shirt, entered the store and ordered the two workers to the back. The man, who was reportedly armed with a small handgun, left the store with a small amount of cash. After the robbery, television news stations broadcast images recorded by the store's video surveillance system. Police said this resulted in the identification of the suspect by an informant, who was granted anonymity. Warrants issued for Edwards' arrest include charges of armed robbery, kidnapping, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and obstructing persons from making emergency telephone calls.

Today we celebrate the life of Brian Jones. Although Jones might not ring a bell to many, to those who know, know that he was the original founder of The Rolling Stones. Before Mick and Keith, there was Brian, who was described as very instrumental in pushing the band through their first few years together. His main instruments for The Stones included the harmonica, guitar and the keys.
As the story goes, Jones placed an ad in the Jazz News, a Soho club information sheet. The advertisement stated he was looking for members to join an R&B group, which Mick Jagger responded to. He later began bringing his childhood friend, Keith Richards to rehearsals and he started playing guitar with them.
Jones originally named the group, "The Rollin' Stones" in a panic one night while setting up one of their first gigs. The group played their first show together on July 12, 1962. However, as the band gained success and notoriety, Jones began to distance himself from the group, eventually leading to his departure from the group in 1969. A month after leaving The Rolling Stones, Jones was found dead in his pool at the age of 27. Happy Birthday Brian Jones! RIP.

Duquesne Downs Dayton, 17-7
PITTSBURGH - Larry McCoy ran for 124 yards and a touchdown and Sean Patterson threw for 187 yards and another score as Duquesne scored twice in the fourth quarter to extend its home win streak to eight with a 17-7 win over the Pioneer Football League's Dayton Flyers at Rooney Field.
The win evened DU's record at 1-1, while Dayton dropped to 0-2.
DU trailed 7-3 before Patterson found Gianni Carter with an 18 yard pass to put the Dukes up 10-7 with 10:01 left. McCoy followed with a 7 yard touchdown run on DU's next possession to put the game out of reach.
Duquesne, which was outgained 219-109 in the first half, finished with a 345-340 advantage in total yardage.
McCoy had 88 yards on 18 second-half carries as the Dukes outgained the Flyers 237-121 in the second 30 minutes.
Charlie Leventry's 26 yard field goal on Duquesne's first possession was followed by a 2 yard run by Will Bardo as Dayton took a 7-3 lead with 2:10 left in the opening quarter - it was a score that would stand until the fourth quarter.
Dayton had the best opportunity to score during the drought when Howard Savage made a diving interception of a tipped Patterson pass at the Duquesne 23 with just over a minute left in the third quarter. The DU defense held and Dayton kicker Pat Sankovic, who was wide right on a 34 yard field goal attempt in the second quarter, was wide right again - this time from 40 yards out - to keep the score 7-3 early in the fourth.
The Dukes answered with their longest drive since their opening possession, covering 77 yards on 10 plays - the last 18 coming on the Patterson-to-Carter touchdown pass.
Patterson was the catalyst, completing passes of 23 yards to Noel Oduho and 19 yards to Brian Pommerer before finding Carter for his 48th career TD pass.
DU followed with an 80 yard drive, fueled by 46 yards on seven carries by McCoy, who ended the drive with a 7 yard touchdown run with 3:03 to go to put the game out of reach.
Serge Kona, who led the DU defense with 9 stops (7 solo), added an interception to end Dayton's final possession. Ben Gartland added 7 tackles. Brandon Martin and Rich Piekarski broke up three passes each for the Dukes.
Duquesne heads to Indiana to complete the non-conference portion of the schedule against another Pioneer Football League team in Valparaiso. Kickoff is set for 2:00 (ET).

The effect of different concentrations of carbon dioxide (CO2) in a mixture with air or nitrogen upon the survival of the honey bee (Apis mellifera).
Krystyna Czekońska
The effect of different concentrations of carbon dioxide (CO2), mixed with air or nitrogen (N2), on the behaviour and lifespan of honey bee (Apis mellifera) workers was studied. It was found that the workers, after being treated for three minutes with the gases entered a state of deep anaesthesia only in an atmosphere of pure CO2 and its mixtures with N2. It was also observed that the higher the concentration of CO2 in N2, the quicker the bees entered a state of deep anaesthesia, and they also woke up sooner. The workers treated with mixtures of gases with high concentrations of CO2 (above 80 %) survived for a significantly shorter time than those treated with lower concentrations of the gases.

I love you guys so much! I hope I get to see you in September when you come to Tulsa, Oklahoma!
You guys still rock!
I for one loved the remix version as much as the original, and everyone looked so excellent in this video, especially Steve! Still miss him!!
I hope you won't forget Montreal, Canada, on your tours date!! We can assure you to be the loudest crowed ever!
Joe is very good looking in this video.
A strange and unresolved video! But it is very visually appealing... and the song is so excellent for Joe's voice.
Bringing on the heartbreak has always been my favorite songs. I have been listening to you guys since the late 70's. My birthday is 10/21/63. I watch a day of hysteria on TV an you guys still rock. I have always wondered what happened to Pete Willis, and if he continued to play after he left the band. I have to say in closing God bless Steve Clark and his family. His music will always be missed. From your #1 fan Strikergreg from Paradise California

Marco Island City Council approves new water restrictions
MARCO ISLAND - On Monday, City Council voted unanimously to approve new restrictions on the days and hours landscape irrigation can be utilized. However, council plans to revisit the issue at their next meeting in May.
The current watering restrictions adopted last year that allow for irrigation two days per week are out of compliance with those established by the South Florida Water Management District.
Under the newly adopted restrictions, irrigation is not allowed between 8 a.m. and 11:59 p.m. Odd number residences may irrigate Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays between 12:01 a.m. to 8 a.m. Even numbered residences can use irrigation systems on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays between the same time period. Landscapes that have been installed for fewer than 90 days may be irrigated Monday through Friday between 12 a.m. to 8 a.m.
Council members suggested that having two separate irrigation periods during a 24 hour period, such as from 12:01 a.m. to 8 a.m. and then again from 8 p.m. to 11:59 p.m. might be more beneficial in curbing the high cost of water usage and therefore save customers money.

Davis coupe 483AE139 is currently the highest serial numbered Davis car known to exist. It was built in Van Nuys, California, and in the bankrupcy of the Davis Company (around 1949 or 1950), this car was awarded to Rocky Mountain Region distributor, Blaine Evans, Of Golden, Colorado, along with Davis coupe #4, serial #482E49 (currently in 2010 AD owned by the Petersen Auto Museum in Los Angeles, along with Davis coupe # 482E129 (number theorized by me, Thomas J. Wilson, founder, Davis registry- based on design and engineering changes - car has missing serial # tag), and Davis military vehicle #494X2, the SECOND of three Davis military vehicles built. The Award to Evans, handed down by bankrupcy court in County of Los Angeles, California, was in recognition, of Evan's having been the largest single franchise purchaser, believed to be $25,000.00 in 1949 dollars! To the best of my knowledge, the "#12 car" is in Florida, purchased by its present owner in Colorado at an estate sale with its removable top missing. The Davis military vehicle, #494X2, was purchased by a Colorado military-vehicle collector, and once been featured in a mililtary-vehicle magazine. Davis coupe #13, was was purchased by me (Tom Wilson) in 1989 from Mr. Jerry Peters, who was executor for the Blaine Evans estate, and awarded this car for his services. I paid Jerry $5000.00 for the car, and tow-barred it to my home in Michigan with a 1978 Llincoln Versailles. The restoration of green #13 took place between 1989 and 1995 at my home in the Ypsilanti area of Michigan. The car is currently insured with Hagerty Insurance, of Traverse City, Michigan, for $67,000.00. It remains my most treasured historical automobile.

Public sector services, including schools and hospitals will be affected, as well as airports and borders, as unions push for negotiations with the government over pensions.
We cover the events as they unfold, from pickets across Tower Hamlets, Lewisham, Hackney and Croydon, as well as the march from Lincoln's Inn Fields at midday.

The pixie trend just won't die.
Following in the follicles of stars like Jennifer Lawrence, Beyonce, Pamela Anderson, Jennifer Hudson and Miley Cyrus, Julianne Hough is the latest to get an extreme cut.
The former "Dancing with the Stars" pro debuted her short new 'do over the weekend, ditching her extensions and then some on Sunday at LAX.
While the 25-year-old has experimented with shoulder-length hair before, this is definitely the shortest she's ever gone.
Just last week, Hough teased that she was taking out her extensions with a hilarious Instagram photo showing what she does when they fall out of her head.
"This is what I save them for," she said in the caption. "Clearly I've gone mad.... And I love it!!"
What do you think of Julianne's new 'do? Sound off below!

New to Ford, Excursion, & PSD - Need Advice
I just purchased a 2001 Ford Excursion 4X4 with the 7.3 PSD. The vehicle only has 65,000 miles and is in great condition. This is my first Ford and so far I am pleased with this vehicle. The truck is basically stock with the exception of aftermaket wheels, Michellin tires, sound system, and front & rear Rancho air shocks.
I am looking to improve the power and fuel economy of the engine without seriously jeapordizing reliability. From lurking the past few weeks, it seems I may need the following to accomplish my objectives:
Air intake
Tuner, programmer, or chip
Any other mods (trans cooler, EBPS, etc.)???
I am looking to purchase ASAP. Please give me advice as to what brands and models are good and where to purchase. I also do not know the difference between a tuner, programmer, or chip; please advise. What maintenace is required for these trucks and when? Any particular brand and spec of fluids and filters recommended? Any major recalls and/or TSB's I should look out for?
Thanks in advance guys!
Nice find. My father just picked up a 2001 Excursion with only 36k miles on the 7.3 and he loves it. I'd say your list is spot on for what you want out of the truck. The only items I would add to your list are a 6.0/Torqshift transmission cooler (much larger than the 4R100 trans cooler), and a coolant by-pass filtration system (like from dieselsite). You might also consider a Mag Hy-Tec or equivalent rear diff cover.
I am also a firm believer in changing EVERY fluid when you purchase a used vehicle...simply because you don't know how well the previous owner maintained it. Engine oil, trans fluid, front and rear diffs, t-case, power steering (which takes ATF fluid), and brake fluid...I would change it all. At only 65k miles you're not even at the service interval for some of those fluids...but, some of those fluids are 11 years old and I would change it anyways. If you choose to go synthetic, I myself run Schaeffer's All Trans fluid in my transmission and t-case, and I run Amsoil in everything else. If you want to go all-the-way, I'd also recommend a coolant flush and switch to an ELC (I run Delo ELC).
For recommendations on vendors, Ill list what I have on my truck (which I am very happy with):
Intake - S&B
Exhaust - MBRP straight-pipe and 4"
Tuner - someone else will have to help on this...I don't run one
Gauges - Isspro EV2
Welcome on the EX.. I'm in the same boat as you man... I just got an 03 EX with 113,000 on it. I asked for help and got the Cream De Creme... LOL go to CTperformanceinc. You can google it... The guys name is Cary, and he can help you big time... I had some idea's and he saved me a MAJOR MIGRAINE with the information he supplied me. He didn't try to get into my pocket either.... I'm working with him on my EX and we together are going to have it set up RIGHT the first time...
Good luck and hope he can work with you too.
congrats on the find... you're on the right track with the mods you want to make... just might want to change the order in which you do them.
DIY intake/6637 filter -- cheap, easy, great filter, great air flow, best bang for your buck
Straight pipe the stock exhaust, remove the cat if you can in your state without causing inspection issues. No NEED for larger exhaust untill you're pushing 400+ HP, the stock muffler is the bottle neck.
Gauges (EGT, Boost, Trans Temp) at any point before any tuner... I like DP Tuner, others will tell you about TS chips, with tunes on them by Wildman, Beans, Swamps, PHP, etc. Pick one you like, talk to the people burning the tunes, etc. I've had good luck with DP, and will get one for our Excursion when funds (and the wife) allow. It currently has an Edge Evolution, I hate it, it make the trans shift funny.
Things like trans cooler upgrades are also a good idea, the stock cooler is tiny...
Good luck, enjoy your new ride... they are really nice trucks, we have had ours about a year now, and it's a great family hauler, with 5 kids, we make use of it to it's full extent.
Yes, give Cary a call for expert Excursion help along with custom HID conversions (not eBay junk).
Sent from my Autoguide iPad app
Thanks for the recommendation guys!
We have everything needed to mod your truck correctly the first time.
PM me if I can help.

Monadnock author recounts a year of dark events in Brattleboro, Vt.
The book was released Nov. 15 by Keene's Surry Cottage Books.
Working as a reporter in the Keene and Brattleboro, Vt., areas in 2011, Eisenstadter covered a five-alarm fire on April 17 in downtown Brattleboro that consumed an historic apartment building, changing the face of Main Street.
The Brooks House had about 60 apartments, as well as retail space.
"The building was an architectural jewel. It used to be used as a hotel. It was the Hotel Brooks. People like Eleanor Roosevelt stayed there. Then, in the 1970s, it was going to be torn down but this man, Norman Chase, decided he was going to put some money into it and make it into apartment and store fronts," Eisenstadter said.
Eisenstadter moved to the Boston area soon after the fire to work for the Dedham Transcript, but he was still very much connected to the Keene and Brattleboro areas.
He grew up just outside of Keene and lived in Keene as an adult, so Brattleboro was a town he had visited often and knew well. "It always had a cool and unique vibe to it," he said.
Then, in July and August, the town was rocked by two murders.
The first was of a Bellows Falls, Vt., woman who had recently moved to Brattleboro. That murder was soon followed by a work-place shooting at the Brattleboro Food Coop, Eisenstadter said.
Together, the murders made many in the town uneasy and deeply saddened.
The shooter had worked at the food coop for decades.
"Everybody loves the Brattleboro Food Coop," Eisenstadter said.
While interviewing people for the book, he was often told by residents, "This is the last place that you would expect any kind of violent crime to take place."
"I think what confused people more was the person that was arrested for the coop shooting was well-known in the community.
"Everybody knew him. He was the manager of the wine section. Everybody called him the wine guy," Eisenstadter said. "In general, people were in shock that someone they felt that they knew well had done something that they could just not understand."
Then, later in August, Hurricane Irene made its way up the Connecticut River and devastated the town's infrastructure and destroyed homes.
Eisenstadter said he started interviewing residents and writing the book because he was fascinated with the string of events that shook the town on so many different levels.
"Each one of these events had affected a different part of the town," he said.
His first book - "The Weight of the Ice: The Northeast Ice Storm of 2008" - also records a true disaster, but Eisenstadter said his interest is not in disasters, but in the people and the human spirit.
"People have been asking me, 'So are you a disaster writer now?'
"What really fascinates me and what leads me to these bigger projects, these books, is not the disaster aspect of it but how these big events affect people's lives."
In the end, he said, he was surprised by what he learned from the people of Brattleboro.
"Basically, I wanted to write a book about these events and what came up again and again was how people were helping one another. It was shocking how people had lost so much were pulling together to help one another," he said.
Born in New York City, Eisenstadter moved to Marlow when he was three-years-old.
After graduating from Keene High School, he went on to earn a bachelor's degree in English and math at Bard College.
He returned to the region after college and lived in Keene, getting his start as a reporter at the Monadnock Ledger-Transcript in Peterborough from 2007 to 2010.
After that, he worked at the Keene Sentinel for a year.
Eisenstadter plans to hold book signings at the Toadstool Bookshop in Peterborough Saturday at 11 a.m. and then at the Toadstool Bookshop in Keene on Sunday at 2 p.m.
"Embattled Brattleboro" is available online at Amazon and also through the publisher's website at surrycottagebooks.com.

It's difficult to pick favorites with such diversity of stories, styles and dates—the silent period to the 1970s and 80s. Highlights have to include the Georges Méliès evening with live musical accompaniment by the Rats and People Motion Picture Orchestra and the new 35mm print of Céline and Julie Go Boating, unavailable for years in its three hours plus form. There's also the restored Jean Renoir classic Grand Illusion and the restored Henri-Georges Clouzot nail-biter The Wages of Fear, both of those films shown in new 35mm prints.
First up is Chris Marker's 1983 Sans Soleil, not available for preview, but Marker has repeatedly demonstrated a challenging and thrilling interrogation of time and memory, the subject here. That Sunday, July 22nd, Jean-Luc Godard's renowned Weekend screens, boasting an iconic, roughly eight-minute tracking shot along a traffic jam that encapsulates Godard's satiric critique of bourgeois civilization.
Other programs feature equally outstanding works. Among my favorite is The Wages of Fear starring Yves Montand as Mario, penniless and stuck in a South American oil town. With the promise of $2,000 each, he and three other desperate men endeavor to drive two trucks loaded with nitroglycerine vats over a dangerous mountain road to a ruptured oil well. The hour build up to this tense second hour establishes with precision a fascinating, social microcosm. I've seldom experienced the sustained suspense of Wages of Fear. For contrast, there's the anarchic genius of Jean Vigo on display in Zero for Conduct, made in 1933 and banned in France until 1945. His poetic, lyrical L'Atalante joins Zero for Conduct on a double bill.
Different film experts will briefly introduce each film and then lead a discussion after each program. All films screen at Webster University's Winifred Moore Auditorium, in French with English subtitles.

Paletas de Plátano Rostizado
- 3 ripe bananas, or 2 small ripe plantains
- 1/4 cup packed dark brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 3/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Mexican cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
- 1 tablespoon dark rum (optional)
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Wrap the bananas (with their skins still on) in foil individually. Roast until cooked through and soft (use tongs to test), about 30 minutes for bananas and 40 minutes for plantains.
Let sit just until cool enough to handle. Put the flesh in a bowl, discard the peels, and mash the flesh lightly with a fork. Add the brown sugar and granulated sugar and stir until the sugars have dissolved.
Put the banana mixture in a blender. Add the milk, cream, vanilla, lemon juice, cinnamon, salt, and rum and blend until smooth. Let cool slightly, then refrigerate until completely chilled.
If using conventional molds, divide the mixture among the molds, snap on the lid, and freeze until solid, about 5 hours. If using glasses or other unconventional molds, freeze until the pops are beginning to set (1 1/2 to 2 hours), then insert the sticks and freeze until solid, 4 to 5 hours. If using an instant ice pop maker, follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Last Supper to be presented by Connellsville church
The Church of God in Connellsville will present the Last Supper at 7 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.
"Last year we held it on Sunday morning and the church was packed. We then had comments throughout the year to hold it in the evening so that those who attend church Sunday mornings elsewhere can come see this program," said the Rev. Nelson D. Confer, church pastor.
"We've added a scene this year. After the Last Supper we will present the Crucifixion. We would like to add a new scene each year," Confer said.
The new scene will be of the last mile that Jesus walked to the Crucifixion site. The choir will sing special music, and there will be individual solos.
"We've involved the whole church this year. It is the Church of God putting this presentation on for the entire community," Confer said.
Church members are involved in every aspect. "The gentleman who is building the set for Jesus on the cross is really putting a lot of time and effort in. He is an engineer and is creating an incredible backdrop. He has it perfectly planned. I can't wait to see it," Confer said.
When it was announced that the church would be presenting the program again this year, all the men who had been disciples last year stepped up again, with the exception of two, one who had moved away. Another disciple has taken on a different role for the production.
Jesus will be played by Jeremy Stansak, and the narrator will be Bonnie Confer. The music director is Jana Sperandio and the director of the program is Renee Urbach.
Confer welcomes everyone to see this uplifting Last Supper presentation, adding that when the mother of Jesus speaks to him on the cross, those present may be moved to tears. "We have not gotten through rehearsal without everyone crying," Confer said.
Confer said those who don't have a church of their own are invited to the Sunday morning services on Easter. Early service is at 8 a.m., followed by breakfast served by the Men Of Faith of the church followed by the regular worship service at 10:45 a.m.
The church is located at 126 Breakneck Ave.. A free will offering will be collected.

But fluff aside, for many crotchety music geeks, the '80s equals epochal LPs like the Clash's London Calling and Sandanista!, the Talking Heads' Remain in Light and Sonic Youth's Daydream Nation; the birth of The Pixies, Ween and others; and countless unforgettable hardcore classics such as Black Flag's "Rise Above" and Bad Brains' "Sailin' On." While the gluttonous mainstream record industry made millions proving Americans are dumb enough to giddily consume anything with a sizeable promotion budget, underground music in the '80s thrived — and was subsequently responsible for influencing the post-'80s popular music we can be proud of, from Nirvana to Radiohead to Arcade Fire.
However, as Yale-educated Rolling Stone writer Rob Sheffield states in his new book Talking to Girls About Duran Duran: One Young Man's Quest for True Love and a Cooler Haircut (Dutton), making sense of the '80s is much more complicated than all that.
Like Chuck Klosterman's Fargo Rock City before it, Talking to Girls About Duran Duran details the suburban (and in Sheffield's case, Irish Catholic) upbringing of a young man who falls deeply in love with stereotypically '80s music, never really outgrows it, and never really feels the need to apologize.
"Loving Duran Duran has been one of the constants in my life," Sheffield writes in the book's introduction. "They're Zen masters on the path of intimate sluttiness … and there's nothing about them that would evoke the dreaded words 'guilty pleasure.' As Oscar Wilde said, no civilized man ever regrets a pleasure, and no uncivilized man knows what a pleasure is."
In other words, enjoy it or listen to something else, but don't waste energy trying to make Sheffield feel ashamed.
Sheffield does have his own moments of fevered, frivolous interpretations of drivel such as his beloved Duran Duran's "Rio" and Hall & Oates' "Maneater" (which Sheffield claims is just "sensible advice" in pop-song format). But the Massachusetts-raised writer brilliantly discusses his undying passion for '80s music as a mere backdrop for eminently readable — and often hilarious — coming-of-age anecdotes set to Madonna and Culture Club.
Chapter six details Sheffield's summer as a teenaged exchange student in Madrid, where he embraced then-revolutionary European techno-pop and had 100 percent platonic relationships with sexy Spanish girls, who took Sheffield to discotheques and welcomed the idea of an American boy "twirling as one of the ladies of the night" while they made out with other guys. Sheffield succeeds in making the music of Depeche Mode and other '80s euro-pop greats ring in his readers' ears during the latter passage, but what's more attention-grabbing is that a teenage male really has to love '80s music to not only fill a role Sheffield admits in hindsight is usually served by gay dudes who don't know they're gay yet but to also go on to publish such a memory three decades later.
For those of us who were born in the '80s but didn't become conscious consumers of music — using our own paychecks to buy albums — until after MTV was playing videos for songs like the Screaming Trees' "I Nearly Lost You" and Rage Against the Machine's "Freedom" instead of Warrant's "Cherry Pie," it's admittedly easier to look back on popular music from the '80s with unequivocal contempt. For Rob Sheffield, however, the sound of "Livin' On a Prayer" and other '80s swill is now permanently attached to his recollection of becoming Rob Sheffield, for better or worse, and the writer's apparently ongoing Catholicism is forever attached to gravitating towards decadent pop music.
Sure, I think that's unfortunate, but I also think believing a man named Jesus rose from the dead and then ascended to heaven is unfortunate. As Lemmy sang, "I'm in love with rock 'n' roll / it satisfies my soul / and if that's all there is / it ain't so bad." But along with preferring the '80s recordings of the Misfits to those of Hall & Oates, that's just my opinion. In the end, growing up Christian and remaining so, as long as it's not your M.O. to convert others, isn't a condemnable offense. Neither is coming of age in the '80s and still unabashedly loving Duran Duran when you're 44, as long as you're not hurting anyone — and especially if you're good at making people laugh by telling them about it.

Great article! I'm going to take a glance at this book if for nothing other than to validate my own experience of the time and smile. Based on this review I have a strong feeling I'm in the Rob Sheffield camp. I am a devoted fan of the 80"s music. I have an ipod playlist, a Pandora 80"s station and frequent Comcast channel 922. I make no apologies for my love of that time period. I just downloaded about 25 songs to my ipod last weekend and have been enjoying my commutes in the car this week all the more. And yes, it does make people laugh when I tell them about my love of that period especially if I sing all the words to a song. Appreciate the review.
Every generation looks back and finds something to ridicule about the past. Kids born now will mock the music and fashion of today with "unequivocal contempt" just the same. You don't think it'll happen, but it will.
Like you said, you were born in the 80's, so you really don't have the experience of actually hearing this music in its original context. Duran Duran's firtst two albums weren't planned as "pop" albums, although Rio ended up that way because it was a good album, and MTV helped DD blow up quickly. Take a few minutes to really listen to Rio and maybe you will gain some appreciation of what they were doing. Nick had the sense to use the synths sparingly, and John's Chic-inspired bass lines are pretty damn impressive. Duran's music was very rythym driven, and I think it sets their sound apart from the Depeche Mode (also not pop, by the way) crowd. When you heard them live, Andy cranked up the guitars (thankfully) and you realized that DD is a ligitimate rock band. There's far less shame in loving DD than associating yourself with any of the crap music from the late 1990s or early 2000s!

ZEPHYRHILLS, Florida -- A Pasco County deputy is being treated at a local hospital after authorities say he was attacked by a pit bull.
Deputy Brent Taber was attempting to serve a warrant at a home in Zephyrhills over the weekend when the attack occured, according to the Pasco County Sheriff's Office.
Photo Gallery: Deputy injured in pit bull attack WARNING: GRAPHIC PHOTOS
The dog reportedly attacked the deputy as he was walking back to his patrol car, severely injuring his arm. Investigators believe the dog was able to charge at the gate of the home and set himself free.
Deputy Taber then reportedly shot and killed the dog in self-defense.
The dog's owner was cited by the sheriff's office for failing to contain the animal properly. Animal Control also gave her a citation for failing to tag the animal properly.
On Monday, Taber remains under sedation at Tampa General Hospital, where he is fighting an infection in his arm.
Photos released by the Pasco Sheriff's Office show Taber suffered serious lacerations to his arm, but authorities say he does not appear to have any tendon damage or broken bones.

Not Waiting for others Approval!
By juny on Aug 01, 2012 09:36 AM
When on Coach factory outlet online . One of the greatest freedoms is simply not caring what everyone else thinks of you. Sometimes you need to step outside, get some air, and remind yourself of who you are and what you want to be. The best thing you can do is follow your heart. Take risks. Dont just accept the safe and easy choices because youre afraid of what others will think, or afraid of what might happen. If you do, nothing will ever happen. Dont let small minds convince you that your dreams are too big. They arent. Starting today, stop waiting for approval. Heres why:
You only get one life to pursue the dreams on Coach factory outlet that make you come alive. It is better to be failing (and learning) at doing something you love, rather than succeeding at doing something you hate. So take chances on behalf of what you believe in. Fail until you succeed. Make sacrifices and step out beyond the safety of your comfort zone over and over again. Face your fears with courage and passion. Keep your word and hold true to your vision until it comes to life. Someone elses approval is just another opinion. Never let someones opinion become your reality. Never sacrifice who you are, or who you aspire to be, because someone else has a problem with it. Love who you are inside and out, and keep pushing forward. No one else has the power to make you feel small unless you give them that power. You are the only one who can create your dreams and happiness.
Life is a lot of choices, here Coach outlet online see what to choose, how to do to just can achieve the best! Believe that you are the best! Some people will never give you their approval anyway. Do not let the negative opinions of others destroy your inner peace. There are two kinds of people those who are a drain on your energy and creative force, and those who give you energy and support your creativity, even with the simplest gesture, like a smile. Avoid the first kind. Be happy. Be who you want to be. If others dont like it, let them be. Happiness is a choice YOUR choice. Life isnt about pleasing everyone. Read The How of Happiness. To be perfect in the eyes of others, and beginning the journey of becoming your true self. So let your love flow freely. Because what you love determines your dreams, your dreams determine your actions, and your actions determine your destiny.
Coach factory is beautifull.

DJ Premier has produced revered songs from Jay-Z, Nas, The Notorious B.I.G, and of course his group with the late Guru, Gang Starr.
But as a top-tier producer (who just released the DJ Premier Presents Year Round Records Get Used To Us compilation album), there are songs that Primo wishes he would have concocted. Below are five tracks on his wishlist.
M.C. Shan - The Bridge
Produced by Marley Marl. Initially released in 1986. "I'm from Texas originally and I went to Prairie View A&M University. It was my freshman year in college and Run-DMC came to perform in at my school with Dana Dane and Clark Kent and they would put on music in between acts and it was 98.7 KISS. I guess it was one of their cassette tapes and they popped it in for the music to switch sets and 'The Bridge' came on and I was like, 'What the fuck is that?' It was just, 'The Bridge,' 'The Bridge,' 'The Bridge' and then the drum roll with the duh, duh, duh, duh. The way it sounded with the echo, it was just so hard. I thought it was saying, 'The Breaks.' I was like, 'That shit is hard,' because I had already liked 'The Breaks' by Kurtis Blow back in 1980, so to hear someone saying 'The Breaks' and it was ill the way he was saying it. Then, to find out it was 'The Bridge, from there on, I was a Marley Marl fiend. No one's a Marley fiend more than me. To this day, it's so fucking ghetto. That record's so dope."
Audio Two - Top Billin'
Produced by Audio Two and Daddy-O. Initially released in 1987. "Who would take [The Honey Drippers'] 'Impeach The President' and just chop it like that? I remember King Of Chill showed me the little trigger machine that they used. It was like the size of my BlackBerry. They used it to get it like that, the dun, dun, dun dun dun, because back then we weren't on MPCs and all that stuff yet. The way Milk sounded on it and they just kept stopping, you can hear the next line echoing before he said it. I was like, 'What the fuck?' It blew me the fuck away, man."
Eric B. & Rakim - Eric B. Is President
Produced by Eric B. & Rakim, remixed by Marley Marl. Initially released in 1986. "It's ill because I used to love 'Funky President' by James Brown because I'm a James Brown fanatic and to hear those sounds in the beginning and they'd do it every time he went into another line and you'd hear that little quick drum roll, I was like, 'Yo, that shit is ill.' That's when we started doing the wop. To this day, you know when that comes on everybody does the wop."
Jay-Z - U Don't Know
Produced by Just Blaze and initially released in 2001. "I wish I had made this and I told [Just Blaze] this the other day. First of all, I have the original sample, so Just Blaze just destroyed that. He showed his scientific side with that record and Jay just slaughtered it lyrically, even just the 'Turn my music high' part. I just can't stop just playing that part before you get to the lyrics, and the lyrics are dangerously ill. Jay always goes in, but that's definitely one of the most incredible records ever made in hip-hop."
it's emotional when you hear it and those horns go, 'dananana.'
M.O.P. - How About Some Hardcore
Produced by Darryl Dee, co-produced by Laz-E-Laz. Initially released in 1993. "I saw the video on Video Music Box and they were just grimy. And that sample, it's dope when you just play the original anyway. But it's emotional when you hear it and those horns go, 'dananana.' They just shitted on that. We used to see The Source magazine back when they were really a hip-hop magazine and Select Records would always advertise and [the "How About Some Hardcore" single] had that cover with the knife it in. I was like, 'What kind of shit is that?' 'How About Some Hardcore' and there's a fucking knife on the cover? I thought it was kinda silly. Then the video has the same knife in the wall. I saw it and how they looked and they're from Brooklyn and they just looked like they could hurt something, which they do. I've been in brawls with them. It's a well done record. Well done."

Accessories Spotting: Beating the Bathing Suit SystemBy Casey • Jun 11th, 2012 • Category: BEAUTY, FASHION, Swimwear
I am a firm believer in not spending a lot of money on bathing suits. Why? You may ask. Because I live in New York and it is cold approximately eight months out of the year. If I lived somewhere warm like LA,or Mexico, I could see myself perhaps splurging on a nice swim suit. But until I move, I will never spend a lot of money on a bathing suit. The photos on the left side are bikins from H&M and the on the right, are from high end designer Zimmerman's company. I did some research and compared and contrasted the recent high end designer Zimmerman's collection which inclides beauitful bikinis that are in the $200 price range, to an odly similar H&M swimsit line where tops and bottoms sepearatly are around $4-$13.
So which side fits into your lifestyle?

STILLWATER — A year after a plane carrying two Oklahoma State University coaches, a former state senator and his wife crashed in the mountains of central Arkansas, OSU officials say they plan to propose an updated travel policy later this month.
A year after deadly crash, Oklahoma State University seeks to update travel policy
Saturday marks the anniversary of the accident that killed OSU women's basketball head coach Kurt Budke, assistant coach Miranda Serna and former state Sen. Olin Branstetter and his wife, Paula.
OSU officials plan to bring the updated travel policy before the Board of Regents for Oklahoma State University and the A&M Colleges at the board's Nov. 30 meeting at Langston University, OSU spokesman Gary Shutt said.
University officials are reviewing the proposed policy internally, Shutt said. He wouldn't discuss details of the policy Friday but said it addresses the types of planes employees may use for travel and requirements for pilots on university-related travel.
OSU officials convened a task force earlier this year to review the university's employee travel policy. The committee included representatives from the OSU faculty and administration, as well as aviation experts, alumni and a member of the Board of Regents, Shutt said.
The task force met seven times to review the university's policies and examine similar policies at other universities, Shutt said.
Cause not known
Federal officials haven't yet determined a cause of the crash. National Transportation Safety Board spokesman Terry Williams said the agency expects to release an accident report in early 2013.
At the time of the crash, the two coaches were traveling from Stillwater to Little Rock, Ark., on a recruiting trip. Olin Branstetter, 82, was piloting the single-engine Piper PA-28-180 Cherokee. Olin Branstetter, an accomplished pilot and licensed flight instructor, had occasionally flown university employees on similar trips.
Three days after the crash, OSU President Burns Hargis said in an email to former Phillips Petroleum Chairman Wayne Allen, an OSU alumnus, that the university would be looking at the possibility of tightening travel policies that cover coaches.

What it is: The closest thing the planet has to a unicorn (albeit a swimming one), this medium-sized, speckled whale has a long, spiraling horn—technically a tooth—that can grow up to nine feet in length for males.
What's strangest about it: Though no one knows exactly what the narwhal's horn is for, it's thought to play a part in mating rituals. Males have been spotted battling with their horns, as if fencing with swords (apparently to impress females); occasionally, narwhal skulls are found with other narwhals' horns embedded in them.
Where to see it: In Arctic waters, especially off the eastern and western coasts of Greenland. The High Arctic Explorer and Spitsbergen & East Greenland cruises run by Mountain Travel Sobek (mtsobek.com) give narwhal fans the best chance of glimpsing the creatures, which swim in the icy clear water between floes and bergs.

Short-Lived Shows: The Monkees
On September 12th, 1966 a debate ignited that continues even to this day. It wasn't on whether or not we should stay in Vietnam, or if there was a second shooter on the grassy knoll, or who was the cutest Beatle. No, the age old debate begun on this date was: did the Monkees actually play their own instruments?
Well, they did, but that doesn't matter right now. What does matter is that the debate was initiated this particular evening because it was the night that The Monkees television show premiered on the NBC fall schedule. For the next two seasons, fifty-eight episodes, nine albums, one television special, and one major motion picture, Monkeemania swept America and the world.
Inspired by the Beatles' movies A Hard Day's Night and Help!, The Monkees featured the not-so everyday adventures of four musicians living in a groovy, California beach house. Mike (Nesmith), was the leader of the pop-music quartet and was known for wearing a wool cap no matter where he went. Micky (Dolenz) was the drummer with the rubber face and James Cagney impressions. Davy (Jones) was the short, British singer with the Beatle mop-top who was loved by all the women. Finally, Peter (Tork) was the quiet, spiritual, naive guitar player who always seemed to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. In reality, Davy and Micky already had established careers . . . Micky in the syndicated television drama Circus Boy and Davy on Broadway in Oliver! . . . while Mike and Peter were professional signers who came from the folk music scene in New York City's Greenwich Village. These four were selected from a group of 437 to become The Monkees.
The show itself was not your typical 1960's comedy. There were jump cuts, fantasy sequences, satires of movies and other television shows, and frequent dismantling of the fourth wall to talk to the audience or members of the studio staff. And, of course, there was music. In fact, The Monkees was probably the first show on television to feature what we would eventually call 'music videos.' Back then, the vignettes were called 'musical romps' that would either relate to the plot of the episode or would actually be separate from the goings-on. No matter what you call it, they were used to promote songs that appeared on The Monkees albums.
The show was a huge success. It spurned more albums, additional products with The Monkees logo, a concert tour, and weekly appearances on such magazines as Tiger Beat and Seventeen. It even won two Emmys in 1967; one for Outstanding Comedy Series and one for Outstanding Directorial Achievement in Comedy.
Alas, as the second season progressed, egos began to get in the way. The 'Prefab Four' began to get tired of the same format week after week and they threw away the scripts in favor of more improvisation. A few band members even proposed switching the format over to a variety show, which would feature musical guests and live performances. However, the network wasn't keen on changing the format. So, with the refusal by the network, and the waining interest in the show by the four band members, The Monkees was canceled in 1968.
The band attempted to keep the momentum going, despite the loss of an outlet to promote their new songs. They starred in their own movie, simply titled Head, which was co-produced and written by a little-known actor named Jack Nicholson. It flopped at the theaters due to a poorly designed promotional campaign (a one minute close-up of a man's head) and the confusing plot of the psychedelic film. They returned to television in 1969 with 33⅓ Revolutions Per Monkee, an extremely weird special which also faltered in the ratings. With tensions high and their popularity faltering, band members began to leave. First Peter Tork in 1969 and then Mike Nesmith (who went on to have a very good post-Monkee career) one year later. Micky and Davy, the two remaining members of the band, released one more album in 1970, and then called it quits.
However, that was not the end of the show or the band. The original 58 episodes found a home on Saturday mornings, airing from 1969 to 1973 on first CBS then ABC. In 1986, a very young MTV aired a Monkees marathon on their network. This, paired with the fact that the band was celebrating its 20th anniversary, put The Monkees back into the spotlight. The resurgence was so strong that it resulted in a new album and tour schedule. One more television special, Hey, Hey It's The Monkees aired on ABC in 1997, on the heels of the bands last studio album.
The Monkees was one of those shows you either loved or hated; there was no middle ground. Whatever way you felt, there can be no doubt that the show paved the ground for music video networks like MTV and shows like Scrubs, which utilizes fantasy sequences and breaks in the fourth wall on a regular basis. So, on the 40th anniversary of the show's first episode, we raise a glass to The Monkees in appreciation.
