THE SERIES: South Dakota State has dominated the all-time series against IPFW, holding a 17-1 advantage since the two programs first met during the 2004-05 season.
The Jackrabbits won each of the first 12 meetings before IPFW cracked the win column with a 70-67 overtime victory on Jan. 22, 2011, at Frost Arena. SDSU has won the last five meetings, including all three a season ago.
In the first meeting of the 2011-12 campaign, Katie Lingle came off the bench to post a double-double with 14 points and 11 rebounds to lead the Jackrabbits to an 81-58 victory on Dec. 31, 2011, at Frost Arena.

Rosado scored a game-high 21 points for the Mastodons, followed by 14 from Amanda Hyde and 10 by Sarah Haluska.
The Jackrabbits knocked Fort Wayne out of the Summit League Championship for the third consecutive year as top-seeded SDSU scored an 80-59 victory in the opening round March 3, 2012, at the Sioux Falls Arena.
Reserves provided a much-needed spark after a sluggish start as the Jackrabbit bench accounted for 18 points as SDSU took control with a late run to build a 35-18 halftime lead.
Four Jackrabbits scored in double figures, with Sunnarborg leading the way with 14 points. Steph Paluch tallied 13 points, while Lingle added 12 and Tara Heiser chipped in with 10.
SDSU dominated the rebounding category, 41-23. Leah Dietel, Sunnarborg and Lingle all shared team-high honors with six rebounds. Dietel also contributed a career-high six assists.
The Mastodons were led by Amanda Hyde with 19 points and six rebounds. Rosado finished with 17 points, while Haluska added 10.
SUMMIT LEAGUE PREVIEW: After capturing its record fourth-straight tournament title and third regular season title in five years, South Dakota State was tabbed as the 2012-13 women's basketball preseason favorite. The Jackrabbits collected 22 first-place votes and 330 points in voting conducted by the league's head coaches, sports information directors and media. Oakland's Bethany Watterworth was selected as the preseason Player of the Year.
Last season's Summit League Tournament finalist, Kansas City, placed second in the poll with 260 points and one first-place vote. Oakland, North Dakota State and IUPUI were separated by just 21 points for the third through fifth slots with the Jaguars claiming one first-place tally. South Dakota edged out Western Illinois for sixth place while Fort Wayne and league newcomer Omaha rounded out the poll. The Mastodons collected the final first-place vote.
Watterworth, an all-league first team selection each of the last two years and second team honoree as a freshman in 2010, was the preseason selection for Player of the Year after scoring a team-high 18.7 points and grabbing 5.4 rebounds per game.
Joining Watterworth on the first team are Kansas City teammates Kim Nezianya, an all-tournament team honoree, and Eilise O'Connor. The duo helped lead the Kangaroos to just their second appearance all-time in the championship game last year. An all-league first teamer last season, IUPUI's Kerah Nelson captured a spot on the preseason first team, while North Dakota State's Katie Birkel and South Dakota State's Ashley Eide also earned the distinction.
The second team is highlighted by returning Newcomer of the Year Saule Kontautaite of Western Illinois. She is accompanied by North Dakota State's Janae Burich, a second team all-league selection, IUPUI's Katie Comello, Oakland's Zakiya Minifee and Omaha's Paige Frauendorfer.
The Summit League concluded a record-setting season a year ago finishing the year ranked No. 19 in the College Basketball News RPI, peaking as high as No. 11 midseason. The league sent a record four teams to postseason tournaments and set a new women's league tournament attendance record.
OPENER STREAK ENDS: The Jackrabbits' 71-47 defeat at the hands of Villanova ended a 19-game winning streak in season openers. The last time SDSU had lost a season opener was during the 1992-93 season, when it fell 74-72 to Moorhead State (Minn.).
827 AND COUNTING: SDSU's victory over Oakland on Dec. 29, 2011, was the 800th in the women's basketball program's history. Since the modern era of women's basketball at South Dakota State University began with a 6-0 mark during the 1966-67 season, the Jacks have gone on to compile an overall record of 827-371 (.690 winning percentage).
In addition, SDSU sealed its 26th consecutive winning season between competing at the NCAA Division II and Divsion I levels during the 2011-12 season.The Jackrabbits' last losing season was an 11-16 campaign during the 1985-86 season.
175 D-I WINS: Since moving up to the NCAA Division I ranks at the start of the 2004-05 season, the Jackrabbits have posted a winning record against D-I opponents. In its eight-plus seasons competing at the Division I level, SDSU has compiled a 177-71 mark (.714 winning percentage) versus D-I opposition. The Jackrabbits have posted victories over 57 different Division I teams representing 21 conferences plus independents.
TOUGH AT HOME: The Jackrabbit women's basketball team has gained a decisive home-court advantage at Frost Arena over the past decade.
In his tenure as Jackrabbit head coach, Aaron Johnston has led the Jackrabbits to a 156-23 record (.872 winning percentage) at Frost Arena, including a 101-15 mark (.871winning pct.) at home during the Division I era. The Jackrabbits have put together home winning streaks of 15, 15 and 22 in the process. SDSU had a 10-game home winning streak end in a Nov. 14 loss to Creighton, but has since won its last six home contests.
Since the start of the 2001-02 season, SDSU has a 146-18 home record (.890 winning percentage), losing an average of less than two games at Frost Arena each full
season. The Jackrabbits capped the 2008-09 regular season with a 14-0 record - a mark that stands as the first undefeated home season in school history.
A loss to Western Kentucky early in the 2009-10 campaign snapped a 35-game
regular season home winning streak, as well as a 15-game overall winning streak that began after SDSU lost to Creighton (Neb.) in the first round of the 2008 Women's NIT.
SUMMIT LEAGUE SUCCESS: South Dakota State has built an impressive Summit League résumé during its tenure in the conference.
Since joining the league at the start of the 2007-08 season, the Jackrabbits have
compiled a 79-15 record (.840 winning percentage) in Summit League regular season games en route to outright league titles with records of 16-2 in 2007-08, 17-1 during the 2008-09 season and 16-2 during the 2011-12 campaign.

WAYTASHEK RETURNS: Jackrabbit forward Megan Waytashek made a successful return to the court by being named to the all-tournament team at the season-opening Best Buy Classic.
Waytashek missed most of her first two seasons in the Jackrabbit program due to knee injuries. She was granted an injury hardship this past summer, giving her three remaining years of eligibility.
A sophomore from Lino Lakes, Minn., Waytashek has scored in double figures in 13 of 17 games this season, with a pair of double-doubles. At the Best Buy Classic, Waytashek tallied 10 points versus Villanova (Pa.) and 13 points with seven rebounds in an overtime win over Washington State.
In earning co-Summit League Player of the Week honors on Dec. 10, Waytashek averaged 20 points, four rebounds, two assists and two steals per game in wins over Eastern Michigan and Northern Iowa. She opened the week by tying a then-career high with 17 points, including the game-winning basket, against Eastern Michigan on Dec. 4. She then scored a career-high 23 points on 8-of-13 shooting Dec. 8 at Northern Iowa, including 3-for-3 on three-point attempts.
For the week, she shot 51 percent (14-of-23) from the field, 62 percent (5-of-8) on three-pointers and 70 percent (7-of-10) at the free throw line.
Waytashek enters the weekend second on the team in scoring at 13.2 points per game. She also ranks second with 28 three-pointers, is second in rebounds (74/4.4 rpg) and is tied for third in steals with 22.
COUNTDOWN TO 1,000: Senior guard Ashley Eide is on pace to join the Jackrabbit 1,000-Point Club this season.
A Sioux Falls native, Eide enters the week with 891 career points after hitting the 20-point mark for the fourth time in five games with a game-high 22-point outing against South Dakota on Jan. 6. Eide has topped 20 points six times this season, including tying her career high with 27 points on a career-best seven three-pointers Dec. 21 at Georgetown as SDSU defeated a BIG EAST opponent for the first time.
She had a streak of three consecutive games with at least 20 points, starting with a 25-point night against Delaware State on Dec. 18. Eide also tallied 26 points in the Jackrabbits' Nov. 18 upset win over nationally ranked Nebraska and scored 21 in an overtime loss to Marquette (Wis.) on Nov. 28.
Eide currently ranks leads the team in scoring at 15.1 points per game and also paces the team with 37 three-pointers. In the most recent NCAA statistics, she ranks 14th among Division I players this season for three-point shooting at 45.1 percent (37-for-82).
During the 2011-12 season, during which she earned second-team all-Summit League honors, Eide finished third on the team with an average of 10.9 points per game. She would become the 32nd player in Jackrabbit women's basketball history to top 1,000 points.
EIDE HONORED: South Dakota State University women's basketball player Ashley Eide has been selected as Summit League Female Athlete of the Month for her performance during the month of December.
A senior from Sioux Falls, Eide helped lead the Jackrabbits to a 6-1 record during December, while averaging 17.9 points and 5.9 rebounds per game. She tied a career high with 27 points and set new single-game marks with 13 rebounds and seven three-pointers in a win at Georgetown on Dec. 21. She topped the 20-mark on two other occasions, scoring 25 points in a Dec. 18 win over Delaware State and tallying 20 in the Summit League opener Dec. 30 against North Dakota State.
Eide shot 54 percent (46-of-86) from the field in the seven games, including 47 percent (22-of-47) from three-point range. She also averaged three assists and 1.3 steals in 28.1 minutes per game.
League-leading SDSU's only loss in December came at nationally ranked Penn State on Dec. 16, a game in which Eide scored a team-high 14 points.
Eide is the third Jackrabbit student-athlete to receive a Summit League Athlete of the Month award this academic year. Men's cross country runner Michael Krsnak and women's soccer player Diana Potterveld were both honored in October.
Western Illinois basketball player Terell Parks was the December honoree on the men's side.
SENIOR LEADER: Senior center Katie Lingle has given the Jackrabbits a big boost both off the bench and as a member of the starting lineup during the 2012-13 season. The Pierre native ranks third on the team in scoring with an average of 7.6 points per game and fourth in rebounding at 4.1 rebounds per contest.
Lingle began the season on the bench, but started three games beginning with a Nov. 28 matchup against Marquette, when she scored nine points and grabbed four rebounds.
She returned to a reserve role Dec. 8 at Northern Iowa, but responded by matching her season high with 12 points on 6-of-9 shooting from the field to go along with seven boards.
Lingle also scored 12 points in an overtime victory over Washington State on Nov. 11, then turned in a pair of strong performances to open the home season. She tallied nine points and nine rebounds Nov. 14 versus Creighton, then added nine points and eight rebounds in the upset win over Nebraska on Nov. 18. Lingle also blocked three shots in each contest.
Over the last three games, Lingle is averaging 8.7 points per game, while shooting 57.1 percent (12-of-21) from the field. She also is averaging 3.0 rebounds and 1.33 blocked shots per game.
She enters the week tied for 11th on the Jackrabbit career blocked shots chart with 72.

Walters matched a career high with 12 points - all on three-pointers - in a Nov. 23 loss at Central Michigan. Her previous 12-point outing also came in the state of Michigan as she drained four three-pointers in a win at Oakland during her freshman season.
STROP SETTLES IN: Junior forward Hannah Strop has made a successful transition to the Jackrabbit starting lineup in recent weeks.
A native of New Prague, Minn., Strop earned her first career start at Northern Iowa on Dec. 8. Although she did not score, Strop matched her career high with six rebounds - a total she again equaled Dec. 18 against Delaware State.

SDSU held a season-best 17-rebound advantage, 48-31, as Megan Waytashek led the effort with 10 rebounds. All 11 SDSU players to see action in the game tallied at least one board.

Waytashek posted the team's first double-double with 13 points and 10 rebounds in a Dec. 1 home victory over Middle Tennessee. Her second double-double was a 15-point, 11-rebound outing Jan. 3 against Kansas City. Waytashek's 11 boards were a career high.
Ashley Eide's 27-point, 13-rebound performance Dec. 21 at Georgetown marked season highs by an SDSU player in both categories during the 2012-13 campaign.
Leah Dietel turned in a double-double performance Dec. 18 against Delaware State, scoring a career-high 16 points while tying a career best with 10 rebounds.
COACH AARON JOHNSTON: In his 13th season as head coach of the South Dakota State University women's basketball team, Aaron Johnston has taken the Jackrabbit
program to the top of NCAA Division II and is leading SDSU to national prominence at the Division I level.
Johnston, who coached his 400th career game Dec. 16 at Penn State, enters the weekend with a career record of 302-104 (.744 winning percentage). With the Jackrabbits' 64-43 win at Oakland on Jan. 10, Johnston passed his predecessor, Nancy Neiber, who compiled a 301-140 record in 16 seasons from 1985-2000, for the program's lead in career coaching victories.
Johnston posted his 200th career victory on Dec. 4, 2008, against Centenary (La.), earned his 250th victory versus Illinois State on Nov. 24, 2010, and logged career win No. 300 against Kansas City on Jan. 3, 2013.

The Summit League Coach of the Year in each of the Jackrabbits' first two seasons in the league and again during the 2011-12 season, Johnston was named a finalist for the 2009 Naismith Award as the nation's top coach. SDSU tied a school record for victories in a season with 32 during the 2008-09 campaign and gained national attention by vaulting into the top 25 in December after non-conference victories over the likes of Wisconsin, Utah, Minnesota and Gonzaga (Wash.). The Jackrabbits were ranked in the final 13 USA Today/ ESPN regular season coaches' polls, climbing as high as 14th in the coaches' poll and 16th in the Associated Press poll. SDSU finished the 2008-09 season ranked 19th by the coaches.

SDSU began its run of success at the charity stripe by establishing season highs with 32 made free throws in 37 attempts for 86.5 percent in a Dec. 18 win over Delaware State.
Sophomore forward Megan Waytashek has led the free throw effort by going 25-of-26 (96.2 percent) over the last six games, including a streak of 22 consecutive that ended with her first attempt Jan. 10 at Oakland. The Jackrabbit record for most consecutive made free throws is 35, which Heather Sieler set by making her final 17 attempts of the 2002-03 season and first 18 attempts of the 2003-04 campaign.
HEATING UP: South Dakota State has found success on the offensive end during the early portion of the Summit League season. The Jackrabbits shot at least 48 percent in each of their first three league games, including a season-best 50 percent (28-of-56) against North Dakota State in the league opener on Dec. 30.
Combined in their four Summit League games, the Jackrabbits have shot 45.3 percent (105-of-232) from the field, including 30-of-78 from three-point range. SDSU also has averaged 73.5 points per Summit League game, while allowing only 51.8.
Adding to the offensive efficiency is the fact that the Jackrabbits have averaged only 13.5 turnovers per game - more than five turnovers per game less than the season average.

"It was another successful year in the classroom for our program," head coach Aaron Johnston said. "Year after year we have been at or near the top of the WBCA Academic Top 25 Honor Roll. SDSU is a great institution and clearly our university has an excellent plan in place for helping students excel academically."
Wisconsin-Green Bay held the top spot among Division I programs, edging the Jackrabbits for the top spot with a 3.616 team GPA. The top three teams in the D-I rankings all played in the NCAA Tournament as DePaul (Ill.) completed the trio with at 3.604.
Across all divisions of women's college basketball, which includes NCAA Division II, Division III, NAIA and junior colleges, the Jackrabbits finished 10th overall. Drury (Mo.) led all divisions with a 3.709 team GPA, followed by Northland (Wis.) at 3.706.
In seven seasons competing at the Division I level, SDSU has finished no worse than third place in the Division I team GPA rankings.

Eide is the sixth Jackrabbit women's basketball player to receive Academic All-America recognition during the program's history, joining: Tara Tessier (first team, 1988); Laurie (Bruns) Kruse (second team, 1991); Jodi Bergemann (third team, 1994); Megan Vogel (second team, 2007), and Jennifer Warkenthien (second team, 2009).
PALUCH TO REDSHIRT: Senior guard Steph Paluch is expected to redshirt during the 2012-13 season, head coach Aaron Johnston announced in late November.
A Pierre native, Paluch started the first 31 games of the 2011-12 season before suffering a knee injury in the semifinals of the Summit League postseason tournament. Playing both the point and off-guard positions, Paluch led the team with 78 assists and 44 steals a season ago. She also averaged 6.5 points and 2.3 rebounds per game.
SISTER ACT: Two members of the 2012-13 Jackrabbit women's basketball team are following in the footsteps of older sisters - both of whom were recent additions to the SDSU 1,000-Point Club.
Sophomore guard Gabby Boever is the second from her family to play for the Jackrabbits. The Worthington, Minn., native follows her older sister, Maria, who scored 1,360 points - currently 14th - during a career that spanned the 2007-10 seasons.
Freshman guard Chloe Cornemann is expected to make her collegiate debut this weekend. Cornemann's older sister, Ketty, also lettered for the Jackrabbits from 2007-10, finishing her career 30th in scoring at SDSU with 1,042 points. Their father, Dave, was an NCAA Division II national champion wrestler for the Jackrabbits at 167 pounds in 1984.
In addition, fellow newcomer Anne Aamlid has strong Jackrabbit bloodlines - her sister, Seri, played volleyball while brother, Nik, was a member of the SDSU football team. Their father, Brian, played basketball at SDSU from 1977-81.

Bell, Book and Candle, 1958
I was asked four years ago (!) why I hadn't already done a post on Bell, Book and Candle (1958). I said then that I hadn't managed to get any press-photos, that screen-caps were difficult to manage and that magazine images were always course-screened: some of which still applies, but I now have a mass of screen-caps, a full set of lobby cards, one press photo and a trailer. I have also just re-watched it so I thought it was time to do a post on this famous film. (However, I will do it in two parts: this one with the lobby cards, the next one the screen caps.)
Since there are numerous online reviews of the film, I really don't need to go into any great detail about the plot. In a nut-shell: a bored witch (above, right) casts a love-spell, compelling a man (centre) to jilt his bride (left)—who the witch knows—to hook up with her instead; by the time he discovers the deception, breaks the spell and leaves her, she has fallen in love with him and—as a consequence—has lost her powers; later, when he discovers this, they get back together and live happily ever after. Some people would describe it as "a charming romantic comedy."
Witches will be intrigued and amused by the representation of witchcraft and magic in the film, and delighted to see the stunning Kim Novak as the lead witch (more of which, anon), but the film's message is ghastly. Novak's character (Gilliam Holroyd) is young, cool, strong-willed beautiful, rich and independent (she owns the building, and her own business, and travels widely and at will), she is powerful and respected (as a witch), intelligent and knowledgeable in Art and Anthropology, is well-versed in witchcraft—African, South American and Asian. She is also a free-spirit, sexually independent, with exotic and avant-garde tastes and unconventional behaviour. And she has a great Siamese cat/familiar, Pyewackett.
By the end of the film, Gilliam has lost her hip and exotic charm, along with her familiar her powers and the respect of other witches, she gives up her avant-garde tastes, unconventional behaviour and clothes. African masks and statues are replaced by pretty shells and flowers; and her bare feet and simple and stark black and blood-red velvets and silks give way to heels, frilly and fussy pinks and white gauze. And the marker of her transformation from unmarriageable witch to bride is that her husband-to-be (Shep Henderson) makes her cry: and is over-joyed when he sees her cry! It is difficult not to see this as a transparent representation of what society demanded of women in the 50s.
When it is laid out as starkly as this you might expect some indication from the film (or the play it is based on) that this is a horror-story for women, that the only way this morality-tale could be any more bleak is if it went the direction of One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (1962; 1975) or Sucker Punch (2011) by having James Stewart hold Novak down and perform a lobotomy on her with a drill and then stitch her into a chastity belt. (The fact that she performs the metaphoric lobotomy on herself—for "love"—only makes it harder to watch.) But no, the audience is encouraged to rejoice in Novak's transformation—her romantic comedy make-over—and to see the story as an example of the triumph of unlikely love or of love in adversity. The feisty, naughty witch perishes at the end and the reviewers rejoiced—and rejoice still to judge by the reviews I have seen.
Of course, most of the film is dominated by the feisty, naughty witch, in a variety of stunning costumes and locations, and this hugely-appealing representation of Novak as a young witch is not erased by her anodyne transformation at the end of the film. The viewer goes away remembering how they were mesmerized by Novak humming a spell to her cat in a blood-red and backless velvet gown, or by the sight of her slinking around in a sheer black silk outfit. They don't remember her crying and defeated, looking like a meringue.
But to return to the witchy-ness: the blurb on the play-script by John Van Druten reads, in part: "He thinks she loves him. How does she explain that while sex is encouraged among her 'people,' love is forbidden?" It is hard to know whether the constant circumlocutions in the play/film about "our people" are used to heighten the suspense and comedy, or whether they are representative of some sort of squeamishness about witches and witchcraft. But it is fun to see urban witches represented as a large and diverse (albeit hidden) group.
The action occurs in New York, in Jazz clubs, and in lounge rooms furnished at the acme of 50s taste. The denizens of the Zodiac Club—which offers beatnik Jazz and avant-garde theatre—are a mix of finger-snapping hipsters, elegant young women, suave city-men and formally-attired middle-aged (and older) couples.** We discover that witches "come into their power" at different ages, suggesting both that their powers are natural and that witches—as a group—are just as diverse as non-witches. Also, allthough the witches cast spells there is no hint of diabolism or demonism (though the African masks and totems do suggest a bit of this). We see a city herbalist, who has some distinctly odd-ingredients for sale, but both this and Gillian's African sculptures smack more of cosmopolitanism than an anti-Christian conspiracy. In other words, the witchcraft in Bell, Book and Candle has been both naturalized and neutralised. Witches are shown to be caring (Gillian looks after her aunt), and non-witches, like Merle Kittridge (jilted by Shep) are shown to be petty-minded and uncaring (Merle made Gillian's life very unpleasant at school, makes fun of her brother etc).
Although Gillian's familiar is named "Pyewacket"—a name reported by Matthew Hopkins in The Discovery of Witches (1647)—that is the extent of the genuine or historical witchcraft in the play or film: the incantations and rituals are invented, and have only the most tenuous connections with traditional witchcraft and no connection with emergent Wicca. In fact, the influence all runs the other way: Bell, Book and Candle offered many hints to the writers of Bewitched (troublesome Aunt Queenie for instance became Aunt Clara), which brought the wonderful Samantha into the lounge-rooms of every television viewer of the 60s and 70s, convincing a generation that "sexy witch" was not a contradiction in terms.
Apparently Stewart was self-conscious about the age gap between himself and Novak (he was 50, she was 25), and after this film gave up on romantic roles all together. The large number of men and women in the film who are clearly even older than Stewart seem to have been included in the cast to contrast with romantic lead—to make him appear younger by comparison. And you have to wonder whether Novak's hair colour—which is closer to grey than blonde—was tinted for the same reason. Van Druten specified that Gillian must be "twenty-seven—small, alert, direct, very attractive" while Shep "anywhere from thirty-five up, masculine and attractive".

ok, it's in the queue.
I really like this site, you come up with some really obscure stuff & make everything interesting.
I truly hate to nit-pick on a site that I immediately fell in love with, but Bell, Book and Candle was released during the fifties, not the sixties.
so romantec…. so lovly majic… helps…. to keep in…. love ….wooow
Just found your blog, and I love it!!! As Halloween is coming up I really feel I might have to…um…borrow a few of all your witch pics for my own little bloggywogg too. I will, OF COURSE, link back to your page thou! :)
You have vanished!
One of my faves. Kim Novak was so hott I wish I could go back in time and let her bewitch me…. ;)
I love and lust after Kim Novak, and aside from her dismaying and mystifying collapse into stereotypical 50's-womanishness at the end of the movie (as you noted) this is one of my favorite of her films. This whole thing of men having romances with women young enough to be their daughters seems to be a widespread '50's thing; look at ANY movie Audrey Hepburn made during that decade, for example. Every man jack of her romantic interests was significantly older than she was. I always wondered if maybe studio moguls weren't indulging in a bit of wish-fulfillment there…
Brilliant review. I loved Bell, Book and Candle but always hated that ending. Maybe due to my being raised by a working mom (a doctor at that with a witch's lock), I've never been comfortable with that milquetoast transformation. Glad someone finally put into eloquent words what bothered me.
Best movie ever.
i named my kitty Pyewacket.
Great article. I have never seen the movie, but now I want to. Thanks CM.
I thought I was the only one who hated the ending of this movie. Why did she have to change? I wish a remake could be done and the end would have the witch even more powerful – when she added true love to her life. I guess the ending made the world of the 1950's more comfortable, able to sleep better knowing that the 'bad witch' had repented?
I never saw the movie or play. I DO agree with your assessment of the witch's makeover. And also note – the BRIDE is jilted either way!
Whatever her "people" say about falling in love, it's fairly well known among modern witches that casting love spells is dangerous, and fussing around with our OWN love lives to the degree portrayed in the movie is BAD to the nth degree of karmic return!
Sans doubt THE worst representation of the subjugation of women into "suitable" (i.e. compliant and slave like) marriage partners.
James Stewart is visibly old enough to be her grandfather with that crook wig and a mountain of make-up.
What is surprising is that the beauty of Kim Novak still shines through.
That final frilly "feminine" dress always gives me the creeps!
LeStryge is right – the age gap makes an otherwise charming movie very difficult to believe. That said, Kim Novak is a true star in this film – warm and vulnerable, lovely and simply stunning to look at!

(The Sicilian Vespers)
Giuseppe Verdi
1813 - 1901
Opera in five acts ı Libretto by Eugène Scribe & Charles Duveyrier after the libretto Le Duc d'Albe (1839)
World premiere June 13th 1855, Opéra, Salle de la rue Le Peletier, Paris
First performances ever in Frankfurt of the French edition
Sung in French with German surtitles
Duration: c. 3 hrs, incl. one interval
About the work
The Sicilian Vespers is based on a real rebellion which began when the Sicilians rose against French rule at the time of vespers on Easter Monday 1282 in Palermo. The struggle for Italian unification is the back-drop to Verdi's opera, about a doomed love story, politics and conflict between a father and son. One of the central characters is a Sicilian patriot called Henri, who finds himself torn between his love for Helen, a brave member of the resistance, and his father the French governor Guy de Montfort, who becomes the target of a planned assassination. Attempts to resolve the conflict culminate in tragedy because the outcome is controlled by the masses, who want revenge, not peace.
Jens-Daniel Herzog's production sets the timeless story in the political reality of the 20th century.
Jens-Daniel Herzog's production sets the timeless story in the political reality of the 20th century.
Palermo: Hélène is forced to sing for the French occupying forces, who murdered her brother. Her song is an incitement to her countrymen to rise up against the enemy. The arrival of the governor, Montfort, prevents a fight breaking out. Henri, a young Sicilian,almost comes to blows with Montfort. He is forbidden from seeing his beloved Hélène again. Procida returns to Sicily from exile determined to get rid of the French, whatever it takes. Henri and Hélène are brought to him. Henri promises to revenge his lover's brother's murder. Montfort has received a letter from a woman he abandoned years ago, imploring him to take care of their son, Henri. Henri, who has come to kill Montfort, is horrified by the news and torn between his fellow conspirators and the enemy. A party begins, Hélène and Procida mingle among the guests. Henri prevents his friends from killing his father. They look upon him with hatred. Henri visits Hélène in prison. His betrayal disgusts her. Henri explains that he had to intervene because Montfort is his father. He now sides with the conspirators again and tells Hélèn that he will die at her side. Both reaffirm their love. Procida cannot forgive him. Montfort tells Henri that he will pardon his friends if he addresses him as »mon père«. Although Hélène begs him not to, he calls out the words to prevent her being executed. Montfort, as good as his word, orders that preparations be made for Hélène and Henri's wedding, to take place at the time of vespers. Procida tells Hélène that the sound of wedding bells shall be the signal for the Sicilian uprising to begin. Not daring to betray this knowledge, she immediately calls off the wedding. Henri, hurt, goes to his father, who commands that the wedding take place, the bells ring out, the massacre begins.

Three Lollies
|Where do you find Three Lollies Preggie Pops? Here at Maternitique, of course! Three Lollies is the name behind natural morning sickness relief. Preggie Pops and Preggie Pop Drops may have casual names, but they have a very serious background.
Conceived and developed by a Noni Martin, nurse and childbirth educator, Three Lollies grew from her daily professional experience with pregnant women suffering from morning sickness, as well as dry mouth, fatigue and nausea during labor.
From hands-on, face-to-face feedback with moms, Noni also came to realize that not every nausea remedy works for every person or situation, and that many people would prefer not to take a prescription if they can avoid it. Through extensive research across a number of disciplines, and most importantly, talking directly to nausea sufferers, Three Lollies was able to discover flavors that would be appealing to anyone with a queasy stomach, and natural ingredients that would really provide morning sickness relief.
For blending medical knowledge and direct experience with safe, natural and effective non-medicated therapies, we're proud to give Three Lollies our "maternity evolved, naturally" stamp of approval.

State Summary: South Carolina
Ranked 24th in Beach Water Quality (out of 30 states)
15% of samples exceeded the national Beach Action Value for designated beach areas in 2013.
Summer 2014 is filled with opportunities to improve water quality throughout the United States and to better protect people's health in the process. Everyone can now support a long-awaited rule to enhance protections for small streams and wetlands—these waters can minimize polluted runoff that contributes to poor beach water quality, and can filter out contaminants that promote algae blooms.
State and federal officials have ample legal tools today to rein in stormwater pollution at the city and regional scale. And beach managers can use a new and important tool, the health-protective Beach Action Value developed by the EPA, to make swimming advisory decisions that more fully safeguard public health.
South Carolina 2013 Beach Water Quality Summary
The Beaches Environmental Assessment and Coastal Health (BEACH) Act helps states and local governments develop monitoring programs to protect public health. Through these programs local officials test beach water for bacteria and issue closings or advisories when bacteria levels exceed a certain threshold. The EPA recently issued a new Beach Action Value (BAV), which is a more protective threshold than the national allowable bacteria levels used in previous years to trigger beach advisories. The EPA considers the BAV to be a "conservative, precautionary tool for making beach notification decisions." While the use of the BAV is currently optional, the EPA's proposed National Beach Guidance and Required Performance Criteria for Grants would require states receiving BEACH Act funding to use the BAV to trigger beach notifications. In light of this information, in assessing 2013 beach water quality NRDC has chosen to use the BAV in order to best protect beachgoers from water quality health risks.
South Carolina has beaches lining 180 miles of Atlantic coastline—102 miles on the mainland coast and 78 miles on islands without bridges from the mainland's barrier islands or on sandbars. The state's beach water quality monitoring program is administered by the Department of Health and Environmental Control (DHEC). The monitoring season in South Carolina runs from May 15 to October 15. Beachgoers can learn about beach advisories on the DHEC website.
What Does Beach Water Monitoring Show?
In 2013, South Carolina reported 64 coastal beaches, 23 of which were monitored. Of all reported beach monitoring samples, 15% exceeded the Beach Action Value (BAV) of 60 enterococcus bacteria colony forming units (cfu) per 100 ml marine or estuarine water in a single sample. NRDC considers all reported samples individually (without averaging) when calculating the percent exceedance rates in this analysis. This includes duplicate samples and reported samples taken outside the official beach season, if any.
The beaches with the highest percent exceedance rates of the BAV in South Carolina in 2013 were Briarcliff Acres Beach (45%), Horry County Beaches South Carolina Campgrounds (32%), Myrtle Beach (23%), Arcadia Beach (20%), North Myrtle Beach (15%), and Surfside Beach (15%). All were in Horry County.
South Carolina Water Quality Trend 2009–20131
The bar chart below illustrates the general trend of beach water quality exceedance rates in South Carolina over the past five years. Note that only samples from a common set of beaches monitored each year from 2009 to 2013 are included in the bar chart. Percent exceedance rates in 2009-2012 are based on the national single-sample maximum standard for designated beach areas of 104 enterococcus bacteria cfu/100 ml water that was in place during those years. For comparison purposes, exceedance rates for 2013 are shown based on the historical national standard of 104 enterococcus bacteria cfu/100 ml water as well as the EPA's new Beach Action Value of 60 enterococcus bacteria cfu/100 ml water.
Percent of Samples Exceeding Daily Bacterial Maximum for Beaches Reported 2009-2013
- % exceedance of national standard in place 2009-2012
- % exceedance of national BAV safety threshold
* Please note exceedance rates for 2013 are shown based on the new BAV safety threshold and the historical national standard for comparison purposes. Additionally, only samples from a common set of beaches monitored each year from 2009-2013 are included in the bar chart.
South Carolina 2013 Monitoring Results
Total Samples
% of samples exceeding
- If the 2013 percent exceedance values in this summary don't match, why not? The value at the top of the page reflects the proportion of samples exceeding the Beach Action Value (BAV) for designated beach areas. Additionally, only samples from a common set of beaches monitored each year from 2009 to 2013 are included in the bar chart. Because some beaches were not monitored in each of those years, the percent exceedance for this subset of beaches may not have the same value as the percent exceedance for all of the beaches monitored in 2013. For historical reasons, the percent exceedance values shown here are based on the national single-sample daily maximum standard that was in place from 2009 to 2012. In assessing 2013 beach water quality, this analysis is based on EPA's new BAV of 60 cfu/100ml enterococcus for marine beaches and 190 cfu/100 ml E. coli for Great Lakes beaches, in order to best protect beachgoers from water quality health risks.

Well, this needed refreshing. I have been drinking loose leaf for many years, and have fairly well nailed down my tastes. I love Chinese blacks and some other unflavoured teas. I occasionally drink flavoured teas, or herbals, but the bulk of my tea is unflavoured with no additives. I stock regularly from Teavivre with the occasional Verdant purchase and the odd re-stock at Davids. I love mint, am learning about the wide world of puerh, and prefer ripe to raw, so far. I don't like green or green oolongs very much, white is okay and roasted oolongs are pretty good. Coconut and chamomile are awful, and I wish they weren't in so many blends!
At home, I live with my husband and cat in a house built by my grandfather, which we love. We share many interests – books, tea, video games, board games, tv/movies. On top of that, I love crosswords and recently took up knitting again, so I'm having a hard time balancing all my passions at the moment. I'm a big fan of Doctor Who, as is my entire immediate family. I love spreading the Who love!
We also spend a lot of time with family, when we can. I've got a gaggle of younger brothers, and we like to spend time with them. The wonders of the internet allow us to spend time together even though some of them live a few hours away.
As for ratings, I try to only log teas once or twice because I drink a lot of the same ones repeatedly. My rating is based on my perception of the tea at first tasting and is adjusted if anything notable occurs in subsequent cups. I may also factor in the price and customer service but try to note that when I can.
81 – 100: These are great teas, I love them, regularly stock them or savour them as unique treats.
71 – 80: These are solid. I drink them, I like them, I may or may not keep them on hand regularly. This is still good stuff.
61 – 70: Just okay. I can drink it, but it doesn't stand out to me. Might be lower quality, not to my taste, or outside my comfort zone.
41 – 60: Not likely to keep drinking…hoping hubby will enjoy!
0 – 40: No thank you, please. Take it away and don't make me finish the cup.

It's that time. We told you the VIP Ticket contest ends on October 20. Guess what day it is. Did you get your poems written? Do they rule? Did I laugh, or cry, or did my eyes roll so far back into my head that I may never see forward again?
Below I have amassed all the submissions. Yes, I even dug through that old Devils' post game article where several of you thought it would be cute to write poems about your hatred for Terry Murray. If you didn't actually mean these to be submitted, say so. If you skim through and don't see your entry, say so.
THIS IS YOUR LAST CHANCE TO ENTER. You have until midnight, when you will all turn to pumpkins. Hideous… filthy… gross, pumpkins.
The winner will be announced first thing tomorrow.
Let's see what you came up with…
Michael Berkowitz started us off:
Dear L.A. Kings, I've been a fan, for nearly my whole life,
I've celebrated the good years, few, and cried through the years of strife.
I was there for Flett and Joyal, Eddie Shack, and "Frenchy" Lemieaux.
I cheered for the Triple Crown Line: Marcel, Taylor, and Simmer too!
In the stands for Manchester's "Miracle," and for "The Great One" in Silver & Black.
At Staples for "The Stunner" and all those years that real talent we lacked.
You came close against The Canadians, and who knows you might've won,
Had Marty's stick been legal, or if he had just grabbed a different one.
Every October I get so excited, with my expectations way up so high.
But in April I hang up my Jersey, and wait for the summer to slowly go by.
Then in '03, without really thinking, I moved North with my family in hand,
And found that I was now living, in Shark infested land.
My beloved Kings were flailing, and I was treading for my life,
How could I be so callous, to my son, and my loving wife?
It really hasn't been pleasant, surrounded by "Guppies" with fins,
I'm a diehard L.A. Kings fan, who wants to feel the thrill of the win!
And so in this year, 2011, you've loosened the purse strings and bolstered the team.
I believe that you're now a contender, and I really don't think it's a dream.
So take the ice, and play your hearts out, and to the league let it be known
The years of frustration are finally over, you are bringing The Stanley Cup Home!
somethincrazy wrote a Haiku:
Kopitar to Brown
Brown up the boards to Doughty
Looks, shoots, and he scores
Leon claims he barely passed high school English:
Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
I feed the Ducks bread,
And the Kings rule.
Juliet gives us:
Purple and black were on the attack.
Got to the playoffs, were on the right track.
Purple is out, so now we look like Raiders!
Bring home the cup, thumb our nose at the haters!
BehindEL writes:
It's that time of the season,
You can feel it in the air.
No, Football's not the reason,
Go ahead say it if you dare!
King's Hockey is back!
On offense its Kopitar, Williams and Gagne.
On defense its Drew and Jack,
In goal could be Quick or Bernier.
Good games bring fan delight!
Bad games bring out the worse in some.
In times as these ducks fans take flight.
Win or lose we Kings Fans still come!
The board is set,
The pieces are moving.
How far will we get?
We'll know when the men start shaving!
Niko says:
After five years of building and waiting
Lombardi's plan has come to fruition.
Laughed at, mocked, the journey's been frustrating,
But this years' Kings fear no opposition.
When the time comes to face the Sharks and Nucks,
Kopi and Richards will lead the attacks.
LA streets run red with the blood of Ducks
Clifford and Brown hit anything that quacks.
Lookout Stanley, the royal reign's begun
with Pride and Passion no other teams bring.
Nothing can hinder a deep playoff run,
Ladies and Gents, Your Los Angeles Kings!
Staples Center will roar "We Want the Cup!"
Next season we'll see our banner go up.
Dominick brings us:
If it wasn't for the Kings, I would have never played the game.
If I would have never played the game, I would have never fell in love with it.
If I would have never fell in love with it, I would have never loved the Kings.
If I would have never loved the Kings, I would have never played the game.
And if I would have never played the game, I would have never known the Kings.
NeenerNeener submits:
There once was a team called the Kings who flew over Nantucket;
Lots of turbulance caused poor Penner to chuck it.
All over poor Brownie and Darryl Evans black shiny suit;
Ran over the top of Richie's cowboy boots.
Now there he sits all alone waiting for the Grayhound bus;
Holding his poor knee and wiping up the pus!
Tim elaborates:
Your blue canvas beneath, O Pacific, your feudal tries to take us down
Many men, many lives have been weakened, deceived, or destroyed
But with pride, this ship, our ship blessed with treasures of the Crown
Our glimmering prize, not your conquest, but a chalice we cannot avoid
For upon this dawn, this day, this ship, these men, this glorious season
We set out in the dark on foreign soil and step into the blue Pacific
Our will cannot be broken, our hearts beat for this is our only reason
The life we live, the ice we cut, the scores we settle, we are now prolific
Cannot forget the past, the conquests of Fowls, revenge of Great Whites
All the kills, all the missed out-manned massacres, and even illegal lumber
For we alone know the horror of seeing our Prize taken in the night
The thieves, inhabitants of a storied tradition, will watch us lift this summer
And let us not forget those we have sworn to extinguish, like an ancient Fire
Or the slickened blackness that historically crushed our hopes and desire
Cities built by Orca-filled bays and natives in windy towns have cut like a brier
As we sail this day, O Pacific, our fists tighten our skills will never tire
Upon this season, O Pacific, we will leave your open waters to face the best
Dropping the past like a forgotten childish phantom, we will stand with force
Our ship, though bloody and battered, is renewed and prepared for conquest
It is Lord Stanley, our Crown for the City of Angels, alone setting our course.
Kingsfaninportland can't make the game, but if he wins he gets to pick who gets the tickets:
Twas the night before hockey season, not a peep in the house,
because Drew Doughty was out eating, and chasing some blouse.
So we snuck inside, knowing no ones around.
Checking ID's at the door, was the hit man Dustin Brown.
Knock knock. Who can that be? Why Brad Richards arrived!
Just kidding, it's Mike, I'm sorry that I lied.
Kevin Westgarth came next, waiting, standing there.
But I didn't answer, because who really cares.
Matt Greene couldn't come, was at home making jokes,
about how bad Quicks golf swing is and that he lost by 15 strokes.
Who can that be, getting out of his car?
Oh, it's big time, Anze Kopitar.
Clifford arrived, in a tux and a tie,
But we all still noticed his glaring black eye.
Dinner was ready, so we all gathered near.
Bernier ate some chicken, Scott Parse just drank beer.
Gagne sat down, asking questions in French.
I hope that his next seat, is not injured on the bench.
One by one the rest came, a few didn't ring the bell,
but that's quite ok, they're from the AHL.
Last, but not least, new footsteps approach.
Damn, it's Terry Murray, the same shitty coach.
As the night ended, I wished everyone good luck,
and before they all left, we shouted DUCKS SUCK!
Jeff314 shouldn't have submitted because he sits 10 feat away from me:
Bye Bye Terry Murray
You Big Piece of Shit
I Want to Get Rid of You
Like a Big Juicy Zit
Marcus350 follows up:
If the Kings send Murray packin'
Tell them to get rid of Penner too.
The system aint workin right,
Is this the best we can do?
Let's try a different system
Something completely new,
Give the fans something to cheer
Other than a loud "boo!"
Penner was slow,
His performance stunk like poo
Somebody check his skates,
I think they were stuck in glue!
Kingsfaninportland thought it was OK to submit two poems. It's not:
This is disgusting,
I think I'ma need Tums,
I just saw Parse, Penner and Murray
In a "who-sucks-worse unmanly three some.
The team played like shit,
so that's why the D's won.
On paper we look good like Obama
but what exactly has he done.
Penner rushes the net
then next second the bench is where he comes.
Not aware of the fact he played
only seconds. God he's dumb.
CoffeeIsForClosers apparently likes Dave Tippett:
Terry Murray's tried his best,
But Andy did, too.
It makes a Kings fan wonder,
Dave Tippett – Where are you?
Poor Kompon's got a screw loose,
The power play just won't do.
These set plays are not working!
Dave Tippett – Where are you?
The defense has gotten better,
Which Terry did improve.
But Jack Adams isn't knocking.
So what else can TM do?
So Terry, we will keep you,
But move down a seat or two.
We need to make some room for…
Marc Crawford? NO, not you!!
LA needs her Scotty Bowman.
Is a sweater vest waiting for you?
Robbie Ftorek is in Erie.
Dave Tippett – Paging you…
Feralcat67 calls this effort, luckily for him, effort wasn't a prerequisite:
I dreampt of Patty Burns
when Crawford was retained
But now the dream's on hold
as Patty's been detained
A. Wongsby is late to the party, but not too late:
There once was a player named Kopi
Who fell on bad ice and we hoped he
Would come back recovered
This year he'll discover
The Cup and the Conn Smythe trophy

Zürich is not Switzerland's capital (that's Bern) but it is the country's largest and otherwise most important city. If you've got a lot of money in the bank this is a great place to come visit it, particularly since you'll need to make a withdrawal to afford to stick around long. But things are changing in Zürich. Sure, this is Switzerland so things are still spotless and well organized, but there are new trendy bars and restaurants that are helping destroy the city's image of being one of Europe's tourism grannies.
What To Do
The Kunsthaus (the Museum of Fine Arts) holds permanent and temporary collections that are far more important than you'd expect to find in a city of around 400,000. A wide variety of pieces from the masters are on display here, including ones by Van Gogh, Monet, and Rodin. The Museum of Design has some fascinating and surprising displays that cover areas of design you'd normally not expect to see in a museum.
You can climb (or take a train) up the Uetliberg hill overlooking the city for great views, but it's also the start of the unique Planetary Walk. This is an 8-mile walk along the ridge that shows the planets of the solar system in proper scale. And speaking of hills, skiing is within easy reach of Zürich. Flumserberg is the closest major ski resort and it's easy to go in the morning and come back that same evening.
Getting There
With Switzerland's central location this is a very popular city to get to by train. This is a major transit hub for the region so Eurail Pass holders or just normal travelers will often find themselves crossing through on their way somewhere else. If you are coming from any further away you'll want to book a flight into Zurich International Airport (code: ZRH). The airport is a bit out of town, but it's on the rail line so you can get to the center quickly and cheaply. Also, many of the larger hotels offer free shuttle services so check that option as well.
Where To Stay
This is an expensive city in almost every way, but there are a few hostels in Zürich. There are plenty of hotels in Zürich as well, but most tend to cater to the luxury and business travelers so it's not easy to find cheap rooms, particularly during busy periods. With the business traffic and winter resorts nearby this city can be booked up nearly any time so it pays to plan ahead if you are hoping to save some money.
