When a girl is brutally attacked late one night, her attacker, calling himself Mr Edward Hyde, buys off the witnesses with a cheque for a small fortune, signed by the eminently respectable Doctor Henry Jekyll.Jekyll's friend and legal advisor, Gabriel John Utterson, is disturbed when he learns this, since Jekyll has recently made Hyde his heir. While Utterson investigates this, Hyde is witnessed committing a savage murder of a prominent Member of Parliament. Jekyll claims there is nothing to worry about, but Utterson becomes convinced his friend is being blackmailed.Before Utterson can do anything, Jekyll's butler Poole contacts Utterson to report that a stranger has locked himself in the lab. When they break into the room they find Hyde, having committed suicide by poison, and two letters explaining everything.Jekyll had been trying to invent a [[AppliedPhlebotinum potion]] which could separate his good and evil sides. When [[ProfessorGuineaPig Jekyll tested it]], he was now transformed into 'Mr Hyde', a manifestation of his evil side with no trace of morality, but his normal personality remained unchanged. In other words, as Dr. Jekyll he was a man with mostly good and ''some'' evil urges, as Mr Hyde he was a man with only evil urges. After some cautious experimenting, Jekyll decided he ''liked'' this side-effect. As Mr Hyde, he could indulge himself in every pleasurable vice, and never be suspected as Hyde looked completely different. However, Hyde eventually committed murder, Jekyll resolved [[TemptingFate never to use the potion again]].But after a few months, Jekyll began spontaneously changing into Hyde. Only by drinking the potion could he retain his own form, and the potion was running out -- not to mention that ever since the murder, the police had been searching relentlessly for Edward Hyde. When Jekyll made a new batch of the potion, it didn't work; his original chemical samples had been contaminated, and it was the impurities that had made the transformation possible. At the end of his letter, Jekyll writes that he soon will change into Hyde, and thus his life will end.There have been several adaptations and parodies of this book. What makes them particularly interesting is not that each one changes, deletes, or adds certain elements but that they [[RetCanon tend to make the same changes]]. In addition to, or instead of, the above story, here's what you'll usually find in film and stage versions:* Cutting the TwistEnding: The book is presented as a mystery, with the identity of Hyde as the TwistEnding, but this is completely absent from all films, mainly because [[PopcultureOsmosis the twist is now too famous to surprise anyone]].* The physical appearance of Hyde: The films typically show Hyde as looking monstrous, contrary to the book's description. Hyde is described as looking repugnant, but not because of any particular physical abnormality. His appearance is rather normal, if a bit dwarfish; it's just that people can somehow sense his great depravity. Adaptations also tend to portray Hyde as more physically formidable than Jekyll, even huge and super-human in some versions, while in the novel Jekyll is a large man and Hyde, representing Jekyll's "less developed" evil urges, is smaller than average. On the other hand, some recent adaptations have [[HotterAndSexier portrayed Hyde as more attractive than Jekyll]] in keeping with the EvilIsSexy trope.* The nature of the SplitPersonality: Jekyll is usually unaware of Hyde's actions, suffering from [[IdentityAmnesia split personality amnesia]]. The book suggests Jekyll ''does'' remember everything he did as Hyde, but [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone begins to find his own depravity horrifying]] and tries to dissociate himself from it. Hyde himself also has unclear memories of what Jekyll does.* [[LoveInterest Love Interests]]: Jekyll's good girl fiancée and Hyde's slutty barmaid/prostitute girlfriend. This plot thread, not part of the original story, occurs in almost all adaptations--in the book no women have major roles.Specific adaptations include:* A highly successful stage play that opened in America not long after the book came out and toured for 20 years. It was this play that introduced the idea of the two love interests.* A play by Jeffrey Hatcher that has Hyde played by multiple actors and inverts the usual good-evil portrayal near the end, giving Hyde a measure of sympathy and making Jekyll cold and ruthless.* Straightforward adaptations in 1919 (with John Barrymore), [[Film/DrJekyllAndMrHyde1931 1931]] (with Creator/FredricMarch and Miriam Hopkins), 1941 (with Creator/SpencerTracy, Creator/IngridBergman and Lana Turner) and 1960 (a Hammer version with Paul Massie). All these adaptations made substantial changes to the main plot - in particular, Jekyll tends to be cast much younger than he is in the novel, and a female love interest is usually added. They also abandon the character of Utterson and his investigation for a story centered on Jekyll and Hyde. Also, the March version is the only one to regularly use the (little-known) correct pronunciation of "Jekyll" (''Jee''-kyll). The 1931 film is probably the best-regarded film version. It offers a rare case of a horror film winning an UsefulNotes/AcademyAward, as March won Best Actor for his portrayal of Jekyll and Hyde.* ''The Janus Head'', a 1920 silent German film version directed by F.W. Murnau and starring Conrad Veidt. It changes the characters' names to Dr. Warren and Mr. O'Connor. Also has a very young Bela Lugosi as the butler. It is also apparently lost forever, but if the production notes are to be believed, it has the first moving camera in cinema history.* Stephen Weeks's version, ''I, Monster'' (produced by Creator/AmicusProductions) keeps to the original plot but changes the names of Jekyll and Hyde in an attempt to keep the twist.* ''Film/TheNuttyProfessor'' (both Creator/JerryLewis' and Creator/EddieMurphy's versions) are comedic takes on the concept, where a nerdy scientist changes into a cool guy.* The TV sitcom ''Series/FamilyMatters'' has geeky Steve Urkel develop a potion that turns him into the suave, handsome Stephan Urquelle.* ''The Two Faces of Doctor Jekyll'' puts an interesting twist on the Jekyll/Hyde dichotomy: Jekyll is hirsute, sloppy dressed, mannerless and abrasive, while Hyde is elegant, suave, charming and debonair.* ''Dr. Heckyl and Mr. Hype,'' a 1980 comedy/horror with Creator/OliverReed, followed the ''Nutty Professor'' formula: the kindy Heckyl is horribly ugly while his violent alter-ego is good-looking.* The 1971 Film/HammerHorror ''Dr. Jekyll and Sister Hyde'' and the 1995 comedy ''Dr. Jekyll and Ms. Hyde'' both add a GenderBender twist to the story.* ''Mary Reilly'' tells the story with a romance/horror twist: Hyde was Jekyll's attempt to become young and strong again.* Frank Wildhorn and Leslie Bricusse adapted it during the '90s into a stage musical, ''Theatre/JekyllAndHyde''.* ''Series/{{Jekyll}}'', a 2006 modern day TV miniseries involving a descendant of the pair, written by Creator/StevenMoffat. Also notable for an example of using the 'Jee-kyll' pronunciation.* In ''Comicbook/TheLeagueOfExtraordinaryGentlemen'' and its [[Film/TheLeagueOfExtraordinaryGentlemen film adaptation]], Jekyll and Hyde are made into {{Exp|y}}ies of Bruce Banner and the Comicbook/IncredibleHulk, who were in turn based off Jekyll and Hyde. The pair can communicate - Jekyll sees Hyde in mirrors, and omnipresent in his subconscious. Hyde's powers of perception are not usable by Jekyll except if the former advises the latter. The comic depicts Hyde as a huge, monstrously strong humanoid, which Hyde himself explains - separated into distinct individuals, Jekyll grows weak and frail without Hyde's passion, while Hyde grows in power without Jekyll's morals to limit him.* ''Film/VanHelsing'' had Hyde as the first monster the titular Van Helsing fights. Hyde is an ape-like monster who battles Van Helsing in the BatmanColdOpen. Hyde turns back into Jekyll on his death, unlike the original story.* An animated prequel of ''Film/VanHelsing'' fleshes out the story. Apparently the doctor has the hots for Queen Victoria of England. And he harvests essence from young women to make a temporary youth potion for the queen.* A Creator/MarvelComics supervillain is named Mr. Hyde; he took direct inspiration from the book. Unlike Jekyll, both sides of him are evil.* A direct-to-video version starring Tony Todd in 2009. Unlike most adaptations, it tried to remain close to the novel by giving the impression that Jekyll & Hyde were two different people until about two-thirds of the way into the movie.* Jekyll and Hyde appeared briefly in ''WesternAnimation/ThePagemaster'', with Hyde becoming the main villain of one of the tie-in video games.* [[VideoGame/DrJekyllAndMrHyde Several video games]], only two of which are close to the original story. The NES game is hailed as one of the worst games of all time.* There's a 70s Blaxploitation flick, ''Dr Black and Mr Hyde'', which cashed in on the Blaxploitation horror craze that was started by ''Blacula''.* An AnimatedAdaptation by Creator/BurbankFilmsAustralia, notable for being the only major animated adaptation of the work.* Creator/{{ITV}}'s series ''Jekyll & Hyde'' follows Robert Jekyll, grandson of the Henry Jekyll from the novel, and is set in the 1930s. It is a superhero-type show in the vein of X-Men, and as such Hyde is just one of many supernatural creatures targeted by a sinister CreatureHunterOrganization.* Series three of Showtime's ''Series/PennyDreadful'' introduces us to Doctor Jekyll as a half-Indian, half-British young chemist, [[EveryoneWentToSchoolTogether who went to medical school with Victor Frankenstein]].* A minor character in ''Literature/WelkinWeasels'' is Professor Speckle Jyde, a mild-mannered gerbil who yearns to be a troublemaker, and so creates a potion that turns him into the obnoxious shrew Dr Lycan Heck.* There's also a [[SurrealHumor surreal comedy]] version by [[Film/AyoyDrJekyllAndMrHyde Studio A'yoy]].* Jekyll and Hyde appear in seasons 5 and 6 of ''Series/OnceUponATime'', with Hyde as the main villain of Season 6.----!!This book provides examples of:* AllThereIsToKnowAboutTheCryingGame: The work is [[MainstreamObscurity well-known by name]], but all that most people have heard about it is [[JekyllAndHyde the twist ending]]. Many do not even know that the dual identity story was originally a twist at all, and most newer adaptations treat it as a foregone conclusion. Some even make Hyde himself some sort of ugly were-monster rather than just a really evil man.* AlternateIdentityAmnesia: Neither Jekyll nor Hyde have very clear memories of what the other does.* AmateurSleuth: Utterson is a lawyer by trade but spends the bulk of the novel investigating Dr. Jekyll and his association with Mr. Hyde.* ApocalypticLog: TheReveal comes in ''two'' of these, one left by Dr. Lanyon, giving an account of how Jekyll revealed his secret to him, and the second a confession by Jekyll himself, written after he could no longer make the formula and realized Hyde would take over completely. Both are read by Utterson and they make up Chapters 9 and 10.* AppliedPhlebotinum: The means by which Hyde is created. This was a time when chemistry, and especially the workings of the human mind, were still relatively unknown (even more so than today, that is), and therefore could be used in the same way radiation was used as a reason for giant monsters and superpowers in the 1950s.* BastardBastard: Hyde is not only smaller but younger-looking than Jekyll, and Utterson briefly wonders if he's the by-blow of Jekyll's youthful indiscretions (though the story phrases it far less bluntly):-->"Poor Harry Jekyll," he thought, "my mind misgives me; he is in deep waters! He was wild when he was young; a long while ago to be sure; but in the law of God, there is no statute of limitations. Ay, it must be that; the ghost of some old sin, the cancer of some concealed disgrace: punishment coming, ''pede claudo'', years after memory has forgotten and self-love condoned the fault."* BigBad: Edward Hyde, Jekyll's evil given form.* BitterAlmonds: "The strong smell of kernels that hung in the air"--that is, almond kernels. Hyde has taken cyanide.* {{Blackmail}}: Near the beginning of the book, Jekyll has changed his will to leave everything to Hyde; the protagonists of the book believe Hyde is blackmailing Jekyll.* BodyHorror: Though not pushed as far as later writers went with it.* CaneFu: Hyde beats Sir Danvers Carew to death with Jekyll's cane.* TheCaseOf: One of the earliest works to use this intriguing title template.* ChromosomeCasting: The only female characters are several of Hyde's victims mentioned in passing, as well as Hyde's landlady and Jekyll's cook.* ADarkerMe: This is the appeal of Hyde for Jekyll; he even refers to Hyde as "the darker side of my nature".--> '''Jekyll:''' This, too, was myself. It seemed natural and human.* DeadManWriting: Jekyll wrote a complete briefing about what happened to him (it's the last chapter of the book), but it mustn't be opened before his [[SplitPersonalityTakeover disappearance]] or death.* DeathOfPersonality: Jekyll's letter explains that no matter what happens to him as Hyde, Jekyll will be dead.* DevilInPlainSight: Everyone can sense that there is something wrong with Hyde, mostly because he is pure evil. They think he might be deformed in some way, but nobody can quite put their finger on how.* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything:** The book is a thinly veiled metaphor for drug addiction. Stevenson was an opium user.** The description of Sir Danvers' beauty, thought by some to make him sound rather camp, also gets read like this.* DrivenToSuicide: After Jekyll realizes that Hyde will take all control of him - both of his body and his personality - he restrains himself to his lab until the final transformation. Hyde takes cyanide when Utterson shows up outside the lab and demands to see Jekyll.* EvilFeelsGood: This is the reason Jekyll thinks separating his evil side from his good side is a good idea. As Hyde, he's free to do anything without restraint from the law or his own conscience.* EvilIsNotAToy: Releasing Hyde was easy. Getting rid of him proved impossible except via death.* EvilMakesYouUgly: In comparison to the middle aged but handsome Jekyll, Hyde is "troglodytic" and "ape-like" in appearance.* ExtraExtraReadAllAboutIt: "Special edition! Shocking murder of MP!"* {{GIFT}}: The great appeal of Hyde to Jekyll is that he can't be held responsible for Hyde's crimes, until he murders a member of Parliament and cannot safely hide. This coincides with the potion losing potency, limiting both men's time.--> '''Jekyll''': But for me, in my impenetrable mantle, the safely was complete. Think of it--I did not even exist! Let me but escape into my laboratory door, give me but a second or two to mix and swallow the draught... and whatever he had done, Edward Hyde would pass away like the stain of breath upon a mirror; and there in his stead, quietly at home... would be Henry Jekyll.* GoMadFromTheRevelation: Dr. Lanyon after he sees Hyde transform into Jekyll for the first time. It ends up killing him.* GoneHorriblyWrong: The potion was ''supposed'' to completely separate the good and evil sides. Instead, it just separated the evil side, meaning that Jekyll was never pure good to balance out the pure evil. Jekyll considers this a good thing at first, because it allows him to act out all his repressed evil urges. Doing that [[GoneHorriblyRight works out pretty well]], until the SplitPersonalityTakeover starts kicking in.* HairTriggerTemper: A minor annoyance in conversation with Danvers Carew causes Hyde to fly into a rage and beat him to death.* HaveAGayOldTime:** Here is how Mr. Enfield explains his reluctance to start asking questions about other people's business:--> "...the more it looks like Queer Street, the less I ask."** Then there's how Jekyll describes the duality of man, using an old word for a bundle of sticks:--> "It was the curse of mankind that these incongruous faggots were thus bound together..."* HearingVoices: It is highly suggested in the final chapter that Jekyll was able to hear Hyde inside his head, because "(Hyde) was constantly demanding to get out".* {{Hypocrite}}: Jekyll does not take responsibility for the evil actions of Hyde, yet he takes the potion specifically to enjoy performing evil actions as Hyde. Stevenson called this Jekyll's FatalFlaw in a letter to a friend.* IncrediblyLamePun:--> '''Utterson:''' If he be Mr. Hyde, I shall be Mr. Seek.* InvoluntaryShapeshifter: After months of taking the potion, Jekyll finds that he is turning into Hyde without it.* JekyllAndHyde: The book gives us the [[UnbuiltTrope unbuilt variant of this trope]]. Henry Jekyll, who is explicitly stated to be capable of both good and evil, deliberately created Edward Hyde for a selfish purpose and actually enjoyed what his darker side brought out until a murder was committed. He began to need more of the potion to ward off Hyde taking control, and when recreating the formula proved impossible he wrote a letter to explain everything before dying. In modern times, this is now an idiom that describes someone who is nice one minute, nasty the next.* KillingYourAlternateSelf: Faced with becoming the monstrous alter-ego Hyde permanently, Jekyll apparently commits suicide. His body is found with a letter ending "I bring the life of that unhappy Henry Jekyll to an end." Perhaps the oldest example of this trope.* MiraculousMalfunction: An "impurity of salt" is what makes the transformation from Dr. Jekyll into Mr. Hyde possible. This is what finally dooms Jekyll--he doesn't know what the impurity is, and when his salt runs out, he can't replace it.* MorallyAmbiguousDoctorate: Jekyll, particularly in the original book, where his reason for making the potion was essentially to do bad things and not get caught. His alter-ego, Mr. Hyde, averts this.* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Jekyll after Hyde kills Danvers Carew. After this, he stops characterizing Hyde as being a part of himself, instead attempting to distance himself from the persona by referring to Hyde as a separate entity attempting to seize control of his body.* TheNapoleon: Hyde is frequently described as being "short," "small" and even "dwarfish," in contrast to the taller Jekyll. This is explained as being because Jekyll never indulged in his evilness before, so his evil side is "underdeveloped." Hyde is, however, very dangerous.* NeverMyFault: Even when writing his final letter, Jekyll still insists that, even now, he doesn't consider Hyde's actions ''his'' actions. ([[HypocrisyNod His choice of pronouns says otherwise]].)* NoPlansNoPrototypeNoBackup: This is an accident on Jekyll's part, as it turns out to be an unknown impurity that makes the stuff work.* NoPronunciationGuide: It should be "''Jee''-kyll", not "''Jeh''-kyll". Not that ''that's'' ever stopped anybody from pronouncing it "''Jeh''-kyll" for decades.* NoodleIncident: Stevenson never goes into great detail about most of the things that Hyde does on his nightly escapades before crossing the MoralEventHorizon by murdering Sir Danvers Carew for no reason; the narrative only states that his activities were of an evil and lustful nature. Given the Victorian England setting and what was considered abhorrent for the time, he may have been engaging with prostitutes and drinking heavily in shady taverns, but we can only surmise.* ObviouslyEvil: Hyde's appearance is banal, yet everyone who looks at him instinctively recognizes his evil.* ProfessorGuineaPig: The UrExample, beating out ''Literature/TheInvisibleMan'' by a decade.* PsychoSerum: TropeMaker* PureIsNotGood: Henry Jekyll, a man with mostly good and some evil urges, thinks that if he could separate his good and bad urges into separate identities, life would be better, because he would be free of morality and could indulge himself on every pleasurable vice without hypocrisy. Hyde himself is pure, but pure evil and cares for nothing but himself, only using Jekyll's form as a hiding place.* SexIsEvilAndIAmHorny: It is implied that among the aforementioned vices was womanizing. In his confession, the doctor characterizes "a certain impatient gaiety of disposition" as the worst of his vices. At the time, "gay" was used to describe a ''heterosexual'' person who was inordinately lustful.* ShadowArchetype: Hyde is Jekyll's repressed depravity given form and a name.* SmallRoleBigImpact: Jekyll's maid recognizes Hyde after he murders Carew, making him a wanted fugitive unable to go about openly.* TheSmurfettePrinciple: No nominal women appear in the original book or even get involved in the plot except as spectators or victims.* SplitPersonalityTakeover: Likely the UrExample.* TechnicolorScience: The potion starts out red and then turns purple before settling on green.* ThisIsYourBrainOnEvil: The addiction metaphors are obvious and appropriately creepy. This was written at a time when the effects of opium addiction were just coming to light.* TwistEnding: The "[[ItWasHisSled twist]]" comes at about the 3/4 mark, and then closes out with Jekyll's own posthumous explanation for everything that happened.* UnstoppableRage: After Hyde goes into a rage and attacks Carew, he exults in the thrill of the evil action and beats the man to death.* WouldHurtAChild: In his first appearance Hyde literally walks over a little girl he meets on the street.* YearX: Used several times. For instance, the Carew murder happened in 18-- and in his statement, Jekyll writes that he was born in the year 18--.----!!Tropes common to multiple adaptations:* AdaptationalBadass: The part about Hyde being a diminutive man, much smaller than Jekyll, is usually adapted out. Instead, Hyde is usually portrayed as a burly brute of a man, larger than Jekyll. Some film adaptations give Lanyon a larger role, having him be the one to stop Hyde.* AdaptationalHeroism: In the original story, Jekyll made the potion to indulge in his vices and evade responsibility and consequences for his actions by separating himself from not just his appearance and name, but his conscience as well, giving him freedom to do whatever he pleased. Most adaptations have Jekyll as a humanitarian scientist who wanted to separate good from evil to eliminate wrong from the world, or a fundamentally good man who just wouldn't take no for an answer--albeit he still enjoys the freedom Hyde's form provides at first.* ArtifactTitle: A good number of adaptations preserve the "Strange Case" portion of the original title. To the modern audience, it's not much of a mystery anymore since adaptations typically show the story from Jekyll's point of view.* BettyAndVeronica: Many adaptations add contrasting female companionship options that weren't in the book, an innocent girlfriend/fiancee for Jekyll and for Hyde an earthier, more sexually available woman that he brutalizes.* DemotedToExtra: The fate of Mr. Utterson, due to most adaptations centering on Jekyll from the start rather that Utterson investigating a mystery, as the novel did. In the 1920 film he pops up towards the end as one of Jekyll's friends, in the 1931 film he is an extra, and in the 1941 film he's completely omitted.* PragmaticAdaptation: Jekyll wasn't the central character of the original story--the story is told from the POV of Mr. Utterson, Jekyll's old friend and lawyer who investigates the mystery. Most of the story depicts Hyde's actions as being told about instead of shown. The twist ending was revealed in letters where everything is told instead of shown. Most adaptations, instead, focus on depicting Jekyll's dramatic struggle between his two selves and his eventual downfall, since everybody already knew the ending.* SuperPoweredEvilSide: In many modern adaptations, such as ''Van Helsing'' and [=ITV's=] ''Jekyll and Hyde'', Hyde possesses superhuman powers, most commonly inhuman strength.----!!The 1920 movie provides examples of:* ChekhovsGun: The PoisonRing that Hyde takes from Gina. At the end, Jekyll swallows the poison to stop Hyde from raping Millicent.* TheFilmOfTheBook: While still using the BettyAndVeronica trope and not being a mystery, this film is somewhat more faithful to the novel than the 1931 and 1941 adaptations. Utterson appears in this version, although his importance is reduced, and Jekyll poisons himself rather than being shot as in 1931 and 1941.* OpiumDen: Hyde visits one, although he doesn't take any opium.* PinkElephants: An opium addict in withdrawal starts hallucinating red ants.* PoisonRing: Gina, the Italian dancer that is the Veronica in this version's BettyAndVeronica pair, has an old ring that has a secret capsule for storing poison (this actually being an old myth about Lucrezia Borgia).* ShoutOut: Sir George Carew's quote, "The only way to get rid of a temptation is to yield to it", is a direct lift from Creator/OscarWilde and ''Literature/ThePictureOfDorianGray''.----!!The 1941 movie provides examples of:* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: A pretty startling example for 1941. During another transformation montage, we see Jekyll as a carriage driver whipping his horses. Then the horses transform into Creator/IngridBergman and Lana Turner, and Jekyll continues to whip them.* GoryDiscretionShot: What Hyde did to Ivy's back is only seen by the other characters. Later, it's implied that he strangles Ivy and beats Beatrix's father to death, but in both cases the victim is kept off-screen.* NotEvenBotheringWithTheAccent: Tracy, like March before him, doesn't even try for any kind of British accent.* VisualInnuendo: During one of the hallucinatory montages when Jekyll transforms into Hyde, he has a vision of Ivy the barmaid's head as the cork in a champagne bottle--and the cork pops.----

The movie theater massacre that took place in Aurora, Colo., early Friday morning unfolded about 15 miles from the scene of the Columbine High School shootings.
Residents of Littleton, Colo., who lived through that 1999 rampage were badly shaken Friday by news of the latest bloodshed. The shooting at a midnight screening of the new Batman film, The Dark Knight Rises, killed 12 people and injured 58. The Columbine shooting killed 12 students and one teacher; the two gunmen took their own lives as well.

"It takes courage to grow up and become who you really are."
– e.e. cummings
"Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind."
– Dr. Seuss
Perhaps, by now, you've heard of Ceara Sturgis. Or perhaps not. Here are a few matters of some consequence: She's 17, popular, a National Honor Society member, a player of the trumpet, a goalie on her soccer team, a senior at Wesson Attendance Center down in south Mississippi.
She's come to terms at an early age with who she is – a young gay woman. To some, that may be a matter of great consequence; to some, sadly, it will define in totality who this young woman is.
In truth, it's only a small piece of the person of Ceara Sturgis. Important to her, but that she happens to be gay should matter not one whit to others.
Anyone who knows her should be grateful she's not one of the many human beings who struggle with their sexuality while witnessing the callousness of much of society and opt for suicide or the pain of living a lie.
Ceara Sturgis is comfortable in her own skin, and that's a good thing.
And she decided she'd rather wear a tux in her senior portrait than the traditional drapes girls have long been forced to wear. She had her picture made during the summer. But the powers that be in the Copiah County School District have said Ceara's head shot will not appear in the yearbook.
And because Ceara has an amazing amount of courage, she is questioning the fairness of the decision. Her mama supports her, her classmates support her and I'd be willing to bet, whether they have voiced it or not, some of her teachers support her.
Not so, officials of the school district.
So, now the ACLU is threatening legal action and Ceara's story is being told by all manner of media – statewide and national.
As colleague Patsy Brumfield and I agreed in a Thursday morning conversation, those traditional drapes are actually sexist. But that's another topic for another day.
In high school and in college, I, along with my female classmates, had to don the drape. But I've seen more modern composite and yearbook photos that have students dressed casually and sitting under trees.
Why in the world does it make one iota of a difference what one wears in a small square of a photo in a book that a decade from now will likely be in the back of a closet or the bottom of a drawer, taken out only when it's time to play "remember him" or "remember her" before a reunion.
A public high school in a quiet town in south Mississippi has an opportunity to show understanding, acceptance and compassion. An opportunity to glory in the rich diversity of its students.
An opportunity to celebrate the courage of one young woman.
There's still time to choose enlightenment.

However I am a bit stuck on how to simulate player movement in Python. I looked around the internet for movement logic specifically in Python, but so far I have had no luck. So I come to you guys, the experts. Does anyone have a good method of simulating player movement? In case anyone is interested I am 51% of the way through the CodeAcademy Python track so I haven't completely learned the basics of Python yet.
From reading this it sounds like you are attempting to tackle a project a bit out of your scope at the moment. Let me clarify something first that there is no "movement logic" specifically in Python. Python is simply a programming language, a tool. To solve the problem of how to simulate player movement would involve thinking about how you are breaking down the representation of your player and a room. What data structures are you going to use to represent these game entities? Will rooms have references to each other by cardinal directions and a list of game objects and/or players?
I think you should read more about Python and experiment with classes, modules etc. before tackling a text based RPG. One way to think about programming is taking a large problem and dividing that into several smaller problems to solve then piecing it all back together. The language itself is simply a tool or means to an end however, if you don't know how to use the tool with some proficiency your problem will be rather hard to solve indeed.

Identity development is some of the most challenging and rewarding work we do. Below are a few examples of our favorite results.
Fox Tax
Smart, clean, honest identity for Minneapolis-based Fox Tax.
The name UnSeasoned, more than just a play on words regarding the lack of salt in the water, is a commentary on the conditions and environment that challenge and invigorate freshwater surfers across the Great Lakes region. The prime surfing 'season' on the UnSea of the Great Lakes is during the fall and winter months, when warm beaches and sweet breezes give way to stormy conditions and unrelenting sets of frigid waves.
The Hawaii Group
Authenticity courses through the veins of our organization; from our people to our pricing to the logos you see above, The Hawaii Group lives and breathes an uncommon pairing of forthright communication and aloha. Read the case study.
Concourse iPhone was an all-in-one travel app for professional-elite-platinum-crystal-medallion travelers. Ocupop consulted on not only identity design but also UI and launch planning.
The organization that vows to lead the Web to its full potential came to us and said, "I think we need to design a logo for HTML5." Once we'd privately and profanely expressed our excitement, we didn't wait for them to ask twice. Read the case study.
All Access Aloha
Oahu's premier concierge service. Whatever your needs—vacation or special event—All Access Aloha has the five-star resources to accommodate you and your guests. Any time we hear the words 'surf-safari' and 'gourmet desserts' in the same sentence, we're pretty much on board.
Symmetry Solar
North America's Solar Authority. Specializing in large-scale solar installations, Symmetry has more experience, and Megawatts, under their belt than is probably recommended.
Maker of premium iOS apps, Shacked is a preferred partner of Ocupop — forever debating the value of the next billion dollar idea, Shacked and Ocupop collaborate on both internal concepts and client software development. Flickpad is Shacked's latest masterpiece — featured app by Apple, award winning photo-flinging fun!
Chef Molly's Happy Tummy
Personal Chef services and private catering in Lanikai, Hawaii. Organic, eclectic and fun cuisine marketed to busy young families on the go.
Infinitely adaptable and at a fraction of the cost, FarmRoof is the next generation of edible green roof technology. The FarmRoof system is engineered to offer the absolute best growing experience for farmers, plants, and community alike!
Rosa Designs
Honestly, we're pretty proud of this one. If it wasn't right there in front of me I wouldn't be so sure we could have said 'contemporary' and 'house of flowers' in a four letter word any more efficiently without getting the FCC after us. Read the case study.
It speaks for itself. Get it? …speaks…

Iris Fine Yarns

Learn To Ride
Burton's Learn to Ride program is designed to make learning to snowboard fun and easy.
Steveswood specializes in custom furniture, frames, and housewares fabricated entirely from deadfall Aspen trees.
Forward Cabin

Weld, a New Media powerhouse.
Hawaiian Ocean Adventures
Hawaiian Ocean Adventures provides a truly unique and authentic Hawaiian experience while teaching about the Hawaiian culture and traditions. Providing sailing canoe tours and instruction amidst sacred Hawaiian landmarks, Nakoa is the real deal.
Young Business Council
The Young Business Council (YBC) is a Hawaii-based, non-profit, professional development organization consisting of young professionals working to learn and promote successful business practices and strategy, as well as providing venues for the discussion of current business and community topics.
Early in the development process, Hawaii-based Sprout Inc. hired Ocupop to design their corporate ID and provide some much needed design and development support as they ramped up for some very high profile product launches and demonstrations.
Brian Parker
Brian is a family man, Boundary Waters Canoe Area fanatic, bicycle commuting enthusiast, and a Ruby and Rails developer living in Minneapolis, MN.
The last thing Jeff designed before he quit designing and went full nerd. Sort of like Michael Jordan the first time he retired, Jeff went out on top… hopefully we don't have to suffer through the Washington Wizard years of a Jeff design revival.

Virginia Board of Health Approves Most Onerous Regulations for Women's Health Centers in the CountrySeptember 18, 2011
Yesterday, September 17, was Constitution Day, a day to commemorate the formation and signing of the Constitution and to celebrate the rights guaranteed within. Under pressure from the Attorney General's office, the Virginia Board of Health voted on Friday to place burdensome and unnecessary regulations on women's health centers in the state, placing women's rights in jeopardy. The threat these regulations pose to women's access to health care and patient confidentiality reinforces that we must always be vigilant in order to protect constitutional freedoms. In place of celebration, we are reminded that women's rights are under attack.
Meaningful Enforcement in the War Against Domestic AbuseSeptember 15, 2011
The war against domestic violence is heating up. In a decision released publicly on August 17, 2011, an international human rights tribunal has determined that the U.S. authorities paid insufficient attention to domestic violence and violence against women in violation of the nation's human rights obligations. This ruling, the first ruling from an international tribunal on a U.S. domestic violence case, comes only days before an important domestic violence case is heard by New York State's highest court.

Young Life's Washington Family Ranch - Antelope, OR - Phone: (541) 489-3100
Parking Lots, Stations in Antelope are designed specifically for automobile parking. Alternately called parking structure, parking ramp, parkade or parking deck, it is a facility with a number of floors or levels on which parking takes place. Parking Garage in Antelope, however, refers only to an indoor, often underground structure. A garage often requires mechanical ventilation or sprinklers.
The movement of vehicles between floors can be effected by interior or exterior ramps, vehicle lifts, and combination systems of ramp and elevator. These parking structures are subjected to the heavy and shifting loads of moving vehicles, and must bear the associated physical stresses associated with them. Automated car parking and modular car parks are other car park facilities in Antelope.
Besides indoor parking, one may also avail of an outdoor parking facility where the charges for parking may be comparatively cheaper.�

A consequence of signing one of the country's top recruiting classes is that your depth chart could experience a serious upheaval between early August when the blue chippers arrive, and the season-opener in early September. Extremely talented players have the potential to overcome lack of experience and make impacts early in their careers.
Tommy Tuberville and his coaching staff will be faced with this problem very shortly. It is, as they say, a nice problem to have.
In this series we will take a look at the incoming recruits most likely to see the field in 2011, try to project where they will fit in the depth chart, and what they will bring to the table for the Red Raiders in the upcoming season.
There are more highly touted players in Texas Tech's 2010 recruiting class, and there may be a few who are surer bets to contribute immediately, but none could factor at as many disparate positions as Bradley Marquez. The Odessa High product will play and play well for the Red Raiders, but the question is where.
Marquez made his mark as a running back in the high school ranks and will get an opportunity to do the same as a collegian, but his ultimate home could be at slot receiver or even cornerback. Marquez has the athleticism and raw skill to excel at any of those positions.
The talents that allowed Marquez to flourish as a running back translate well to the inside receiver position. Marquez is a long strider with excellent speed, but more important, he is a decisive, economical runner in the open field.
Marquez is not as dynamic as a Michael Crabtree, and he doesn't have the quickness of a Wes Welker, but like both of those players, he wastes no time getting upfield once the ball is in his hands. Additionally, Marquez does a phenomenal job of reading his blockers. Consequently, he never makes a bad cut or runs into the wrong seam.
One of the more interesting features of Marquez's game is his blocking. Despite weighing no more than 180 pounds, Marquez obviously relishes taking out opposing defenders. In his high school days Marquez was known for obliterating two or even three opponents on a single play. This speaks to Marquez's aggressiveness, physicality and unselfishness.
And this thirst for contact is one reason why playing Marquez at cornerback is not a stretch. At five-foot-eleven, he also has the ideal frame for the position, and his speed is plenty good as well.
If the Tech coaching staff leaves Marquez at running back, he will almost certainly redshirt. The Red Raiders are stacked with experience and talent at this position, and Marquez is unlikely to make a dent there immediately.
Inside receiver is another story. Marquez, who looked very comfortable catching the ball in high school, could contribute here in a hurry. Current inside receivers Alex Torres, Austin Zouzalik, Cornelius Douglas, Adam James and Aaron Fisher all have either injury or productivity issues. There is an opportunity here for Marquez and fellow freshman Jakeem Grant to make an impact.
Cornerback would be a more difficult transition for Marquez, but Tech has a need here. Jarvis Phillips, Derrick Mays, and Tre' Porter all have talent, but the Red Raiders would like to go into battle with at least four cornerbacks they feel very good about. And Marquez is bright enough to pick the position up quickly should the Tech coaching staff decide to go this direction. At this point, who knows what direction they'll go?

European leaders took steps to calm fears about the EU debt crisis at the financial summit in Brussels. They agreed to use the continent's bailout fund to send money directly to struggling banks.
After tough all-night bargaining, European leaders appeared to salvage what had seemed to be a summit teetering towards failure. Their agreement not only funnels money directly to troubled banks, but it signals a tighter political union across Europe in the longer term.
The bailout announcement comes after Spain requested a hundred billion euros to rescue its banks.
European and Asian markets breathed a huge sigh of relief that Europe's leaders are still working together to resolve the deep debt crisis.
But Jackson Wong, vice president of Tanrich Securities in Hong Kong, cautioned that the euro crisis was far from solved.
"Don't expect a magical formula that can solve the problem right out from the EU summit," he said.
Meanwhile, in the United States, the Commerce Department reported that consumer spending showed no gain in May.
Economic experts say the weaker spending and a recent rise in unemployment are just the latest signs the U.S. economy is faltering, and could be heading toward a double-dip recession.

Urinary incontinence (UI) is loss of urine control due to changes in body function that result from diseases, use of certain medications or onset of an illness. It can occur in men and women at any age, but is particularly common in older women, over age 50. Urinary incontinence may be a temporary or permanent issue stemming from a medical procedure, pregnancy/childbirth or hormonal changes with menopause. The severity can range from slight urine leaks to severe, frequent wetting.
If you are having symptoms of urinary incontinence, find a doctor by calling 800-777-7775.
The following are common symptoms of urinary incontinence. If you experience any of these symptoms, consider seeing your doctor for an evaluation.
Stress incontinence—The most common type of incontinence occurs with physical movements that put strain or pressure on the bladder. Examples are sneezing, coughing, lifting and laughing.
Urge incontinence—When the bladder gives you the sensation of "needing to go" immediately—often too late. Urgency can occur with only a small amount of urine in the bladder because the muscles are squeezing when they shouldn't. Abnormal nerve signals may cause bladder spasms which lead to frequent trips to the bathroom. An overactive bladder may also produce this type of urgency.
Functional incontinence—Occurs when medical conditions or physical mobility limitations interfere with toileting. Examples could include arthritis, being wheelchair bound, or cognitive impairment due to dementia.
Overflow incontinence—Occurs when there is too much urine for the bladder to contain or the bladder never completely empties, causing constant dribbling. It is generally a result of weak bladder muscles or a blocked urethra, but can also be a result of nerve damage from diabetes, urinary stones or tumors.
It is important to make an appointment with a physician for a physical exam and urinary system evaluation. Evaluation procedures may include: a bladder stress test, urinalysis and urine culture, ultrasound, cystoscopy, and/or urodynamics. Your physician may refer you to a urologist, a doctor that specializes in diseases of the urinary tract.
Maintain a diary prior to the appointment noting your pattern of voiding (urinating). Include the time of day/night, the approximate amount of urine you produce, and your fluid intake. Share your incontinence diary with your physician.
Community's physical therapy centers offer a solution for incontinence. Learn more at eCommunity.com/physicaltherapy
Ask your doctor for a referral today!
Treatment for urinary incontinence may include behavioral therapy, physical therapy, dietary modifications, medication or surgery.

There is no sugar-coating that baby, no making excuses or blaming it on the cat. I am shit with email. I come home from work, all ready to write my little heart out for the evening, and there it is, that seething bulk of communication, and I am grateful for every single item that comes into my inbox – new albums for me to download, guest posting, client enquiries, press releases from strange and weird places, ad requests for Gothic Wedding Planner, replies from editors about pitches, newsletters … – so I, in my excitement, read them all, think "I'll reply to that later, when I've given it some thought," file it away in a folder, and promptly forget that I need to reply to it.
Sometimes I look at that counter that says "54 new emails" and I go and listen to my husband's band practice, instead.
I frequently leave people hanging for days – sometimes even weeks. I accidentally delete things. I send emails and forget to attack stuff. I send enormous files without noticing. I am a bad, bad emailler.
If there were email gods, they would smite me where I stand.
The first thing that I wanted to say was that if you've been a victim of my email-suckyness, I apologise. I am so, so, so sorry. It's not you, it's me. I'm an unorganised, scatterbrained hazard to myself.
The second thing I want to say is that it's going to change.
2012 is upon us like a great looming behemoth. And since I'm throwing out my old wall calandar, I should be throwing out my bad habits, as well. Changes are afoot. Reduced hours at my "real" officey type job, more time for writing and creativity, a solid business plan, and an email management system that I can actually follow.
I'm not talking about New Years Resolutions, as the very phrase induces groans that shake the very foundations of the earth. I'm talking about an assessment of the year just gone. If you look at your business successes and shortcomings over the last year, can you name ONE thing you've done absolutely awesomely, and ONE thing you need to improve?
The ONE awesome thing is because it's important to acknowledge what you are doing well. We're too damn hard on ourselves. We expect the whole world and when we don't deliver, we feel like a failure. Our successes often fall by the wayside.
Don't do this to yourself. Celebrate your successes for 2011. Keep in your mind what you do well, and prepare to do a whole lot more of it in 2012.
Now, lets move on to your own weakness.
This is not the time for big laundry lists of to-do items, because you're not going to actually get around to doing them. Improve ONE thing, and ONE thing only, to give your creative business a boost next year. What's the ONE thing you could improve that would bring in more money, give you more time, cure your stress or push your business forward?
- Are your outputs not high enough to cope with demand? Should you aim to improve production of your fine art?
- Is there a particular aspect of your business that causes you stress or takes too much time?
- Do you struggle with a certain aspect of book-keeping or administration?
- Have you been meaning to launch a new service but haven't got around to preparing your site and writing all the info?
- Do you know you need media attention but haven't been approaching any sources?
- Have your readers been asking about an e-course for some time, but you haven't got around to creating it?
In all likelihood, you know what the one thing is immediately. I sure do. It's that damn email.
Now that you KNOW, it's time to come up with a plan to combat it. You plan will vary from mine, because mine is all about kicking myself up the backside and yours will be all cuddles and sunshine But a plan you must have – filled to the brim with goals and small, actionable steps to transform your business.
Me? I've revamped my email folder system, discovered a button that allows me to tag emails that need a reply, reworked my daily routine (taking into account my new schedule), so I read and reply to email AT THE SAME TIME (I know – what a revelation!) and figured out a million and one small things that will vastly improve my email-replying experience. Implementation of the majority of my new schemes begins after Christmas, when I have a few days of uninterrupted downtime to work on back-end stuff. Improvement will be slow, but noticeable, and measurable.
What will you be doing to improve your business in 2012?

Tuck: 2013 NFL Mock Draft
My initial thoughts:
I've never seen so much debate on a draft board. ?Guys can go top 5 in one mock, and outside the top 20 in another.
The Chiefs decision may hinge on whether or not they resign OT Branden Albert.
Health is a major concern for two of the best players in this draft. ?Star Lotulelei and Jarvis Jones are almost impossible to project today.
I didn't include a quarterback in the first round, but I'd expect all the teams picking in the late-20's to get phone calls about moving down into the second round so that someone can move up to grab a quarterback or two.
And finally, a reminder that the draft is?7 rounds. ?You don't necessarily draft your biggest need in the first round, even though it looks to make sense in a mock draft.

Once a Member of the Chorus, Georgia Frontiere Now Owns a Line That Goes 260 Lbs. Per Man
True, the Los Angeles Rams set an NFL record with seven straight division championships, culminating with the 1980 Super Bowl which they lost to the Pittsburgh Steelers, and last year made it to the play-offs as a wild-card team. And although the 1981 squad boasts 13 Pro Bowl players, the Rams are up against stiff competition this year. This Sunday they face the Dallas Cowboys, a game which may prove crucial to their play-off chances.
All this would not be so involving for Georgia, 51, if for the past two years she had been content to become a figurehead president. Indeed, recalls Hollywood composer Dominic (The Flying Nun, Vega$) Frontiere, 51, Georgia's seventh husband, and at the time of Rosenbloom's death a close family friend, "My first reaction was, 'Why don't you sell the team?' "
Instead, the 5'3" platinum blonde decided, as she put it, "to hang tough." Even while coping with the rest of Rosenbloom's interests, valued as high as a quarter-billion dollars, she sent mailgrams last year denying a rumor that she was unloading the Rams for $35 million. And, ignoring jibes from sportswriters ("She may think Red Grange was a communist farm union," wrote one), she began devoting up to 50 hours a week to the club.
Alas, Georgia now concedes, "I can't expect my men on the field to play their best when my management isn't working as a team." And in fact, since taking charge, Georgia has fired the man Rosenbloom seemed to be grooming to lead the Rams, her 36-year-old stepson, Steve Rosenbloom. She has faced a brief walkout by four of her star linemen, shuffled quarterbacks like a riverboat gambler while letting the effective Vince Ferragamo escape to Canada, and been named in a $160 million NFL antitrust suit filed by the Oakland Raiders' Al Davis (the first jury was hung; the retrial has not been set).
"I used to come home," recalls Georgia, "sit down and ask, 'Why, Carroll? Why did you have to go swimming in the ocean? Why did you have to leave me with so many decisions? Why didn't you teach me everything?' " But from adversity, she continues, has come growth: "The trouble with the American system is that boys and girls are taught to be competitive with each other until 12 or 13. Then, all of a sudden, girls aren't allowed to compete with boys, because if they do, they won't be 'feminine.' I was always afraid to beat anybody for fear they wouldn't like me," she confesses, adding, "but Carroll taught me that it was okay to win, that winning is important."
Interjects Dominic, "It's ironic that my wife is in a field they call 'sports,' and here we are being subjected to the most double-dealing, unsportsmanlike conduct. Georgia has suffered from a big case of prejudice—this is a totally male-oriented world, and these guys are tough. She gets more criticism than is her fair share, because she doesn't do it by the book. She conducts her own orchestra with her own baton."
Frontiere's reversion to musical metaphor is apt, because his wife spent much of her life in showbiz. Born in St. Louis, where she began singing in old folks' homes, Georgia Irwin moved at 15 to Fresno, Calif., where that same year she wed and then had the marriage annulled. In Fresno she also joined a musical theater troupe. "I believed in never singing on an empty stomach," she recalls, but during one performance of Humperdinck's Hansel and Gretel, "I let out the biggest burp you've ever heard. I thought my career was over." After losing her second husband in a bus accident and divorcing her third, Georgia and No. 4, a stage manager, eventually moved to Miami, where she got a job as a TV weather girl. When that marriage failed, she wed local TV personality William Wyler; it lasted less than a year. "I guess my problem is I'm old-fashioned," she reflects. "I thought that you had to marry a man you had sex with."
Georgia began hobnobbing with society types. One, Joe Kennedy, introduced her to his old pal Carroll Rosenbloom, then owner of the Baltimore Colts. But Carroll was in the 16th year of his first marriage; she left Miami to sing in road company musicals, supper clubs and lounges, and for two weeks was the Today girl opposite Dave Garroway and J. Fred Muggs.
All the while, though, Georgia continued her relationship with Rosen-bloom, to the point of bearing him Lucia, now 19, and Chip, 17. In 1966 Carroll finally obtained a divorce and quickly became Georgia's sixth husband. Six years later Rosenbloom swapped the Colts for the Rams in a deal that saved him $4.4 million in taxes, and the family settled in Bel Air.
Rosenbloom was 72 when he drowned while the couple was vacationing in Florida. One of the first to fly to her side was Teddy Kennedy. Not far behind in offering condolences was Dominic Frontiere, an Emmy winner (for Twelve O'clock High and a John Wayne special) who had socialized with the Rosenblooms for years. Married last year, Georgia and Dominic live on a five-acre estate off Sunset Boulevard. Since daughter Lucia is married to an accountant and Chip is studying at Eton in England, the live-ins are a New Zealand chef, assorted maids and a personal assistant. Past the swimming pool and tennis courts is Dominic's cabin studio (he wrote the music for the new Chevy Chase flick, Modern Problems, due this Christmas, and is scoring Robert Stack's new series, Strike Force). She often joins him there for voice lessons with the coach who has improved Joe Namath's singing. The Frontieres also maintain a beach house north of Malibu, but during football season their real second home is the Rams' Anaheim complex, where the owner's stadium box includes an upstairs hideaway complete with bedroom and sauna.
It is here, often fingering the ring the players gave her this summer—a golden ram's head with diamond eyes—that Georgia follows the team's vicissitudes. "I have trouble staying on top of each situation, and until that's straightened out we are going to continue to have problems," she laments.
Who knows but that Madame Ram's dream may still come true. After all, in 1978 that other L.A. institution, Hollywood, released a fantasy in which a man returns from the dead to lead a team to the Super Bowl. And what uniform did Warren Beatty wear in Heaven Can Wait? That of the Rams, of course.

Bell-Drummond calls for progress
Follow the England Development Programme, including England Under-19s
Daniel Bell-Drummond is thoroughly aware England Under-19s need to make full use of their 50 overs against Bangladesh tomorrow.
The young lions head into the second one-day international at Chittagong on the back of two defeats, a 10-wicket setback in last week's warm-up match and a 44-run loss in the first match of seven yesterday.
On both occasions England have failed to see out their full allocation and Kent's Bell-Drummond has revealed it is something the team are keen to address.
"That's a big thing we have been speaking about and we are getting there," he told ecb.co.uk.
"As long as we get used to the pitches, I think we will be alright. We can bat the full 50 (overs) and if we bat first, I think we can post a big score."
Although England are still looking for their first victory of the tour, Bell-Drummond believes they are more confident after familiarising themselves with the sub-continent conditions and their opponents.
"We are definitely getting there, we are looking forward to the next match to try and beat the Bangladeshis," he said.
"We know more what they are about and our bowlers have plans for their batsmen now. We are pretty confident that we can pull through and take the series to 1-1."
Opening batsman Bell-Drummond, who hit a half-century in the opening match of the series, is pleased with his form, but is still striving to improve.
Speaking about his 55 from 79 balls yesterday, he said: "At times it was quite hard, but I pulled through it and it gave me confidence that we can win the series.
"I was quite disappointed when I got out. My role for the upcoming games is to bat through the overs and get three figures on the board for my team."

The 1986 World Cup, held in Mexico, featured 12 venues, 24 teams, 52 games and 132 goals, but to this day it is best remembered for the deeds of one diminutive man.
Argentina defeated West Germany 3-2 in the final on June 29 in the Azteca Stadium to lift the World Cup trophy, having been inspired by the miraculous feats of their 25-year-old captain, Diego Armando Maradona.
Aside from Maradona, Argentina's squad contained a smattering of top-class players, such as Real Madrid forward Jorge Valdano and the talented attacking midfielder Jorge Burruchaga. However, the team was criticized in the lead up to the tournament for being too defensive.
The Albicelestes' only World Cup triumph to that point had come eight years earlier on home soil.
That team was coached by the charismatic Cesar Luis Menotti, who valued beautiful football above all else and encouraged fluid, attacking play.
The 1986 edition of Argentina, however, was managed by Carlos Bilardo, a much more pragmatic, defense-minded tactician.
Many Argentines were highly critical of his style and pessimistic about the team's chances in Mexico, especially after Bilardo axed talismanic captain Daniel Passarella and put Maradona in charge.
In an interview with Carlos Jurado for Marca in 2006, Bilardo said there were plenty of naysayers in Argentina before the tournament:
I remember that there were many articles criticizing Diego before the World Cup. Because I made him captain in place of Passarella and that he shouldn't even be in the squad after what happened in Spain in '82, let alone the starting side. That Maradona was a failure for the national team.
They said to me, 'Bochini is better than Maradona', and I didn't respond.
Diego himself said to me, 'we're on our own.' And look what happened then.
Maradona and Bilardo would soon silence the critics with extreme prejudice.

Start spreading the news...New York or Bust...555 Hudson Street has a ring to it and it is officially our glassybaby New York address. We are so excited and palpitating over our October 29th grand opening party (6-10pm.) We are now coastal...East and West. There is still time to book a ticket no matter where you are. Please join us. If you would like to receive an invitation (see photo above) just email your home address to: email@example.com.
We are honored to inhabit a store on hallowed ground. 555 Hudson has a distinguished history. It is the address of the famed and visionary humanist named Jane Jacobs who authored the important and civic minded book about the virtues of urban design entitled: "The Death and Life of Great American Cities," published in 1961. Jane Jacobs believed in the the layers and weave of physical cultural fabric as elemental to the quality of life that we lead...hers was a street with a grocer, a barber, a hardware store, a tavern. It was dense residentially and rich with diverse commerce at street level. This was the equation she espoused for good living. To learn more about Jane Jacobs and the 555 Hudson address click on this New York Times blog installment: http://cityroom.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/07/13/jane-jacobs-way-comes-to-the-village/...it is fascinating.
It feels auspicious to follow Jane Jacobs. 555 Hudson emerges for us as a portent of our pledge to stay soulful and hand made and giving and a good neighbor. Come find us.
Seattle minutes... I am thrilled when I get to see this dynamic duo of friends usher into our store. What is characteristic of this particular pair is their marvelous humor. It is infectious. We always have a chuckle together and this week their visit was no exception. For some reason our conversation took a celebrity jag. My dear customers were inquiring if one of our local celebrities (to remain unnamed) had ever shopped in our store. I said yes of course she has, but I get the impression that when she shops she likes to take off her celebrity hat and just immerse herself in choosing glassybaby color anonymously. The instantaneous quip back to me was: "Well thank you so much for giving us our celebrity space today...we appreciate your sensitivity." I love it and these ladies are stars in my book.
Amidst the various levity, I learned that glassybaby was their treat after both having had mammograms. I just love the spirit in this. It lead organically to my describing an effort involving Seattle Cancer Care Alliance and glassybaby called: "Make a Mammogram Promise." To learn more. go to: www.mammogrampromise.org. In essence, women making a mammogram promise will be lead to the sweet possibility of receiving a winning glassybaby. It is our joy to be involved with this. It was fun to spread the word to my favorite dynamic duo shopping in the store. End note to their visit... I had to promise not to know them if they ever come in with their husbands. My oath was instant.
We are bathed in October sunlight and eternally thankful for it. There is a new stark white and stunning glassybaby drinker named: Jackie O (the name of Lee's volunteer/rescued pooch.) Ryan, our wonderful Production Manager, is working on a color named 'Hudson,' a kind of glassybaby homage to our New York exodus. And much more soon.
Until Next Time, Nicola

Many of you are probably too young to remember the bestselling book, How to Make Love to a Man. When I was in high school, a friend and I pooled our money to buy a copy. My mother discovered the book tucked between my mattress and box spring and promptly tossed the book out, so I didn't get much time to absorb the material, so to speak.
But moving on. The author, Alexandra Penney, became enormously wealthy for writing that book, which was on the New York Times bestsellers list for weeks, along with the other sex-advice books she penned through the years. She was also Self magazine's editor-in-chief for years. Then she became a freelance artist. In her late 40s, she invested all of her retirement money — her life savings — with Bernie Madoff's investment company. And you know what happened next.
Now Penney is blogging about what it's like to be nearing retirement with her nest egg gone on Tina Brown's new site, The Daily Beast. She has written three posts so far on her blog, titled The Bag Lady Papers, and I'm addicted. She's getting flamed like crazy: people are criticizing her for worrying about the housekeeper she'll have to let go, the white shirts she'll have to iron herself, and the second home and (possibly) her apartment she'll have to sell. Sure, compared to many folks, she's lived a privileged life, and you could argue she was a fool to hand her whole nest egg to Madoff. On the other hand, she worked hard to earn this money and she acknowledges she has enjoyed the good life. Seems like she has plenty of cause for anger when her future's been pulled out from under her.
I think she's brave to blog about her experience, her despair, her fears. One thing I like about her blog is that she sounds like a spunky chick; I have no doubt she'll pull through.
What do you think? Do you feel any compassion for her or think she's an entitled whiner? Post your comments below. [db]
