Melinda Trujillo Wright
B.F.A. Theatre Studies, Sophomore
Favorite class in Theatre and Dance:
Hands down Automated Lighting has be my favorite class to take. It is one of my most challenging courses and yet the payoff is completely worth it. The professor not only has a passion for showing us the future of lighting technology, but he wants us to grow into better forms ourselves. So I didn't just come out of this class with valuable knowledge that I can put into my profession but I grew as a person ready for the demand of my profession as well. Plus making light shows to your favorite tracks is just really really cool.
Favorite thing about Austin:
The River. Just to the southern edge of downtown Austin you'll find the gem that is the Colorado River. Whether your choice is paddle boating or kayaking the view from the river is amazing. There are so many things adjacent to the river like Lady Bird Lake or Barton Springs I find anytime the weather is nice I try my hardest to make it down there. It is definitely a must visit if you ever come to Austin.
Favorite place to study:
Nothing is better than studying on a quiet Saturday at the Turtle Pond. Whenever I can I ventured there to relax as I hear the water pouring into the pond. With all the turtles there you can't help but feel happy. They are so adorable and they help inspire me to do my work when I am around them. I love passing by on my way to class and see the odd places the turtles relax to sun bathe. It is a hilarious sight to see the piles of turtles on one of the flat rocks. Adjacent to the Tower, it is an excellent spot to rest in between classes.
About Melinda:
Born and raised in Texas, nothing feels more at home than being in my cowboy boots and gazing up at the stars. My passion for theatre came from the wonder of this idea of living art. Unlike any other art form, theatre is the only that can take you into the moment that will change your life forever. I have this wiliness to help other anyway I can and I believe that is what lead me to chose my major, for I hope I can help my future students find the artist in themselves. Finishing my second year I look forward to entering my second half of my journey. I look forward to my years as an educator and making a rewarding difference in the world.

UNIVERSITY PARK - If you are like most Penn State football fans, you're probably feeling a bit disappointed after the dominating performance of Ohio State over the Nittany Lions Saturday - and rightfully so.
Couple that with an epic fourth-quarter collapse against Iowa earlier in the year and a lot of fans are left wondering what might have been for this year's team.
So for those of you looking for someone to blame for this feeling of unfulfillment, I say blame the senior class.
After all, it was this group of seniors that helped put Penn State in a position where 8-2 and a "regular" New Year's Day bowl is considered a down year.
Remember the lost seasons in the early-to-mid 2000s? I'm pretty sure if we could borrow Doc Brown's DeLorean and go back to those dark days of four-win seasons and 6-4 final scores, we'd all feel a bit better about a chance at playing in a Jan. 1 bowl game in Florida.
But this group, some of whom were freshmen back in 2005, helped rescue the Nittany Nation with that magical 10-1 run to the Orange Bowl and the hugely-satisfying victory over Bobby Bowden's Florida State Seminoles.
Remember how excited everyone was when the Nits beat Ohio State that season at the first "White Out" game? The crowd was so fired up that fans stormed the field after the game - something that doesn't happen at Penn State, at least not in its current state. The phrase "We're back" began showing up on T-shirts, sweatshirts and just about anything else you could think of.
And the slogan proved to be true. This class helped to show that the '05 season was not a fluke, winning the Outback Bowl against Tennessee and Alamo Bowl against Texas A&M, as well as winning yet another Big Ten championship in 2008 and a Rose Bowl appearance to go with it.
This team has won 38 games since that Orange Bowl triumph against just 12 losses.
Basically, this team has raised expectations back to where it should be for a program with the history of Penn State - a yearly run at the Big Ten championship and a spot in a BCS game.
Saturday is Senior Day at Beaver Stadium, but coach Joe Paterno says there is still too much football to be played to do much reminiscing.
"Haven't done it yet," he said when asked at his Tuesday press conference to reflect on the senior class. "I think a little later in the week as I watch practice, you know, we'll sit around and bit about some of those intangible things that you're talking about. ... I have not really thought much about it, what I want to tell the seniors, because we've got another game after this one. But I know where you're coming from. I think it's a good point. But I really can't honestly tell you I've thought about it. I haven't, not yet. I will later in the week."
While the coach doesn't seem to have the time to reflect, those of us who are fans (and columnists) certainly do. Penn State is shaped by the contributions of each senior class. But this group has had one of the biggest effects on the program of any in history.
They have changed the course of Penn State football for the better.
And we should all remember that when they each have their names called one final time on Saturday. We owe them at least that much.

Open source, automotive manufacturing & obscurity | Opensource.com
Open source, automotive manufacturing & obscurity
I'm very puzzled by the recent blog by Brian Prentice of Gartner. Comparing just-in-time manufacturing to open source software? Perhaps Brian is thinking of open source components like Apache Tomcat, which is often nestled inside of proprietary software solutions. But comparing an automobile which essentially remains unchanged after manufacturing to a software product that is constantly improved with new releases?
I agree that the four questions posed by Brian are important. I've seen them many times in my 30+ years hanging around enterprise software. But there's more to it. Customers do like to have feature bake-offs on current features. Yet they also care about future features. They do want maintenance, but they also want software upgrades. They care about innovation. That's how new software companies are born, and existing ones maintain relevancy.
Brian misses this point completely in his writing. And it's around innovation that the promise of open source excels. Drupal is a great example. With thousands of contributors, the current functionality is extensive. And new features? The scalability and speed of innovation are virtually impossible to match in a proprietary software company. Sure, open source carries other challenges and risks, but that's where companies like Red Hat, Canonical, Alfresco and of course Acquia come in. Ensuring risk associated with open source is mitigated and the promise is realized.
To be fair, Brian's closing comment around "generic open source" holds some water. Not all open source projects offer similar levels of value. However, claiming that open source is headed to customer obscurity while open source solutions are still growing rapidly in popularity is peculiar. And ignoring innovation as a decision criterion for a constantly changing business tool is a major oversight.
This blog post is cross posted from Tom's blog on Acquia.com.

Open source does do better when it is the tool, not the product.
Enterprise Linux companies make money not FROM open source, but by SUPPORTING open source. They could, theoretically, be supporting closed-source solutions the same way.
So I think Brian Prentice is trying to focus on so long as the end result (software package) does what people want, it doesn't matter if it is open source or closed source, just like people buying cars don't care if it was sitting pre-built or just-in-time built to their specifications so long as it has/does what they want and has that "new car" smell!
His 4 questions ;
1.does the software do what I need it to do (feature bake-off)?
Whether it is open source or closed source the feature bake-off is ultimately up to the product. Firefox provided features that IE did not have until they had to innovate with ver. 7 and on. Considering the market share that Firefox has developed in a relatively short amount of time, it seems open source CAN bake-off against closed-source competitors.
2.who will help me when I have a problem with the software?
3.who will maintain the software and how much will that cost?
Both of these questions perpetuate the idea that you pay for the product so you have a number to call or a person to wag your finger at when it doesn't work.
It ignores the companies who offer paid support for their products and expects open source to follow the closed source methods.
It also ignores the support structure that is derived from the community, which helped in developing it in the first place.
Most major applications are developed and supported by a team of people, so if one leaves the project the project can stay afloat. The smaller, and usually more consumer-orientatated projects may be developed by one or two people and, in these cases, the chance of it becoming a dead project is higher. How many companies, though, should rely on these applications?
4.will I end up being beholden to the software supplier?
No matter what software is selected, it makes one held by that technology until the company is willing to move away and invest in another software package.
While this is a good question, the only difference between closed source and open source is really which one is the "dominant" or "standard" in the industry. Microsoft Office formats are the "dominant" in the industry, and so the non-dominant ones have to adapt and offer the ability to open these formats. If it were reversed, then MS Office would have to adapt to whateve the dominant form is.
So I see Brian's blog post being that open source, in and of itself, is not the "holy grail", but it still comes down to the project/organization/company/team behind the program/project that matters.

Best Places for a Shopping Respite or Shopping Extravaganza in Denver
By Christine Loomis
Denver Local Expert
Denver is a thriving, evolving city and the same can be said of its stellar collection of stores and boutiques. From small and eclectic independent retailers such as 5 Green Boxes to the upscale, multi-block shopping district that is Cherry Creek North, Denver delivers a vibrant and intriguing experience with multiple options for shoppers of all kinds. For art collectors or art lover, there's the gallery-centric Art District on Santa Fe, along with two fabulous (and different) shops at the Denver Art Museum. Tattered Cover, one of Denver's most successful and beloved retailers, now has three locations, including a cozy outpost at the newly revitalized Denver Union Station. Speaking of Union Station, the historic aesthetic remains in tact and the trains continue to run, but a fabulous collection of retailers and restaurants now infuses the evocative structure with a distinctly 21st Century vibe. Historic and contemporary elements also combine at Larimer Square, an area that Butch Cassidy is said to have once visited and where some of the city's best independent boutiques now open for a more genteel clientele. And in the spirit of what's old is often new again, there's Twist and Shout, a record store where new vinyl recordings are being sold alongside those old collectibles and CDs from every genre--plus there's live music. Perhaps best of all, in between many Denver shops are independent restaurants opened by award-winning chefs where shoppers can rest and refuel before heading to the next dynamic shopping experience.
Located in the restored 1901 Denver Tramway building, REI Denver is paradise for outdoor enthusiasts, from weekend warriors to avid sportsmen and women. The massive store set near the South Platte River at Confluence Park is one of the brand's best. Of course it includes all the climbing, hiking, camping, paddling and cycling gear one could want. It also has a massive 47-foot monolith on which to practice rock climbing, a 6,400-square-foot surface that's hand sculpted and offers 12 top-roped routes and two lead-climbing routes. A climb is free if you're an REI member. In addition to all of the clothing and gear available, the store also offers a variety of classes and demonstrations including climbing techniques, bike maintenance, stand-up paddleboarding and smartphone photography. If you can do it in the outdoors, you can buy it, try it or learn it at REI. (303-756-3100)
Larimer Square
Larimer Square is the city's No. 1 historic district and it was integral to the earliest residents of Denver, many of whom were on the rough-and-tumble side. Today, a more genteel clientele strolls along this historic block of Larimer Street to visit its 23 retail shops, 20 of which are independently owned. All of the stores here typically offer some Colorado-made products, including Cry Baby Ranch, Eve and Gusterman Silversmiths. There are shops carrying products for women, men and children, there are shops selling clothes, shoes, jewelry, accessories for humans and dogs, antiques and home goods, to name a few. A great time to visit is during a festival or event. Le Jardin Secret, a French-inspired farmer's market, runs summer Saturdays; the Peachy Sidewalk Sale is in late July; there are spring and fall fashion shows and the Chalk Art Festival takes place in May. (303-534-2367)
Cherry Creek North Shopping District
One of Denver's most attractive neighborhoods for shopping and dining, Cherry Creek North boasts endless options for the perfect romantic date night. Dinner for two at one of the area's restaurants can transport you and your partner to a mini vacation right here in Denver. After spending the day the several independently owned shops, boutiques and galleries choose a restaurant to dine at. Top suggestions include Opus Restaurant for fine dining, La Merise for authentic French cuisine, Le Rendezouv for an intimate lounge atmosphere, NoRTH Italia for seasonal Italian dishes, Pikkas Peruvian Cuisine & Pisco Bar for a casual and festive meal, and trendy new spot Hasu Asian Bistro.

Another option that locavores will appreciate is nearby Enstrom Candies, where treats are made in Colorado. They're known for their addictive almond toffee. (303-394-2904)
Tattered Cover Book Store
From its humble beginnings in a tiny space back in the 1970s, Tattered Cover evolved into one of the largest independent bookstores in the nation. It has weathered a retail climate that has not been friendly to booksellers, but thanks to the indomitable spirt and savvy business sense of owner Joyce Meskis, Tattered Cover has not just survived it has thrived. Today it has three locations including an expansive space on Colfax in a former theater. There book lovers and others can browse, sip coffee, listen to authors read from their works and shop. The store has 24,000 square feet of retail space housing 150,000 book titles. There are also calendars, toys, games, puzzles, cards and many other potential gift items. But the Tattered Cover's best asset is arguably its staff, people who know and love books and who can offer genuinely helpful and insightful suggestions and advice. (303-322-7727)
Art District on Santa Fe
More than 70 establishments populate this very walkable area just south of downtown Denver. While the First Friday Art Walk is indisputably the biggest draw for visitors to Denver, the district's galleries, restaurants and retail shops are open all week. The greatest concentration of shops, galleries and restaurants is in an eight-block area between 4th and 12th along Santa Fe Drive. In addition to shopping, various classes are offered, space is available for private parties and events and there are two theaters and a museum, too. All of the galleries and shops in the Art District are independently owned and roughly 90 percent of the artwork and merchandise is made in Colorado. In terms of special occasions, Denver Arts Week is in November and a luminaries celebration is held during the holidays.
The Proper Pour
Mega liquor stores offer more bottles and selection, but they cannot match the personal attention and passion of The Proper Pour. Customers looking for an unusual wine or liquor can pick the brain of whoever is working and get knowledgeable information and suggestions--they're all self-proclaimed cocktail geeks who see their job as providing the proper ingredients, tools and education so customers can enjoy the same imbibing experience at home as they would out on the town. To that end, the store carries such products as wine produced by a small biodynamic farm in Western Colorado, unusual beers and specialty releases from excellent local small-batch distillers as well as tasty, perfected whiskey from well-known larger distillers across the country. "As long as they are staying true to their craft and making top-notch products," says the owner, "we will continue to support them in their efforts." ((720) 389-7905)
5 Green Boxes
This is the land of fun and unusual gifts and treats located in two main stores a block apart on Denver's trendy South Pearl Street. The larger store has everything from candles based on literary themes to hand-painted furniture. Shoppers will find one of the best collections of greeting cards around, along with delightful odds and ends they probably didn't know they needed until they stumbled upon them here. The smaller store has clothes, shoes, accessories and jewelry, and both stores carry goods from around the world. It's fun just to wander around the larger store with its cacophony of color, patterns and inventive displays. Prices here, the saying goes, range from $5 to $5,000, so surely everyone will find something. ((303) 777-2331)
Twist and Shout
When Twist and Shot opened in 1988 there were no MP3 players, iPods or smart phones. The store is in some ways a throwback to those days, yet very much current. It's a place where Boomers, Gen Xers, Millennials and Gen Zers all can shop for the music they love, old and new. The store carries every conceivable genre and format of music, and its true claim to fame may be what is arguably the largest selection of new and used vinyl in the country. Live performances are staged in the store each month, both local artists and national touring acts, and merchandise includes art films, music movies, toys, shirts and all kinds of other fun stuff. As if all that weren't enough, according to management, the store has "the most creative, unique, artsy, sexy employees on earth." Who wouldn't want to shop there? (303.722.1943)
Denver Art Museum Shops
The Denver Art Museum features two must-see shops. The North Building shop has a family orientation with creative products for all ages including activity kits, books, art supplies, puzzles, games and more. The shop in the Hamilton Building attracts art lovers with art-inspired clothing and accessories such as a men's tie with a Salvador Dali-inspired mustache print, one-of-a-kind jewelry and fused or blown glass pieces. Stock changes to reflect current exhibits, so there's always something new. No matter what is featured, whimsy and creativity abound. This is just the place to pick up a miniature version of one of the best-known sculptures in Denver, the famous giant blue bear at the Colorado Convention Center. Local goods also include uniquely artistic handbags made by Boulder-based Maruca Design and chocolates handcrafted in Denver. The Denver Art Museum stores are where creative expression and inspired shopping become one. ((720) 865-4488)
Denver Union Station
Denver's revitalized Union Station features 10 independent, Colorado-owned retail and restaurant outlets across 22,000 square feet of ground-floor space, which is complemented by 12,000 square feet of public common area and 40,000 square feet of outdoor plaza space. It's all in and around the magnificently renovated historic Denver Union Station--and the trains are still coming and going! Among the retail shops are outpost of three popular stores: Tattered Cover bookstore, 5 Green Boxes and Bloom. Eateries range from Pigtrain Coffee and Milkbox Ice Creamery to full-restaurant concepts from some of Denver's best-known and most successful chefs. Mercantile Dining & Provision is a little of both--a European-style restaurant and an "Old World" market. (303-534-6333, 800-872-7245)

She is also lucky to have had three major home states through the years: New York, Colorado and California. Today she divides time between the Denver and San Francisco areas. Christine loves shoe shopping and fishing; walking anywhere; horseback riding (she was on the equestrian team at the University of Oregon); and discovering menus that include small-batch whiskeys, craft beer and lesser-known wines. She would go anywhere in an RV and believes summer is best when it includes a rafting trip.

Howdy all
I have place a few items on ebay for auction. The reason I have done this is that I collect airline issued postcards only, and it seems that there isn't much out there that I need anymore (although if you have a list of these for trade, please email me).
I am not asking much for these items at all, and you can see which ones at:
I may be adding a few more in the next few days, so keep an eye out on that.

August, 2002
Nearly one year has passed since that sunny day in September when a small group of men hijacked four commercial aircraft and turned them into terribly effective bombs directed against the Pentagon and the World Trade Center. The attacks killed thousands of people and sent millions more in this country and around the world into a state of collective shock.
Now, one year later, this country prepares to commemorate the attacks on their first anniversary. It is appropriate that we take the time to remember the thousands of innocent victims of the attacks, and to provide support for their surviving family members.
Those in control of our government and major media will likely also use the occasion to trumpet the accomplishments of our nation's response to the September 11 attacks…the so-called "war on terrorism." Here we will part company with the official commemoration of September 11, as we do not believe that the war on terrorism has created a more secure environment in the U.S. or in the rest of the world.
Marooned in an airport on September 12, 2001, peacemaker and writer John Paul Lederach penned the following words of wisdom:
…If indeed this is a new war it will not be won with a traditional military plan. The key does not lie in finding and destroying territories, camps, and certainly not the civilian populations that supposedly house them. Paradoxically that will only feed the phenomenon and assure that it lives into a new generation. The key is to think about how a small virus in a system affects the whole and how to improve the immunity of the system. We should take extreme care not to provide the movements we deplore with gratuitous fuel for self-regeneration. Let us not fulfill their prophecy by providing them with martyrs and justifications. The power of their action is the simplicity with which they pursue the fight with global power. They have understood the power of the powerless. They have understood that melding and meshing with the enemy creates a base from within. They have not faced down the enemy with a bigger stick. They did the more powerful thing: They changed the game. They entered our lives, our homes and turned our own tools into our demise.
We will not win this struggle for justice, peace and human dignity with the traditional weapons of war. We need to change the game again…
Sadly, if Lederach writes a sequel to these words one year later, he will likely find that our government has done precisely what he feared…it has found and destroyed territories and camps and wreaked havoc among the civilian population of Afghanistan. It has divided the world into friends and enemies under the slogan, "You're either with us or with the terrorists" and has shown itself ready to sacrifice our cherished civil liberties in the tragically ironic quest to eliminate "enemies of democracy and our way of life."
We renew Lederach's call to "change the game" and invite you to create dialogue and discussion in your community about how such a change can bring real security to our lives. We hope that as you reflect on September 11, one year later, you will take seriously our contention that creating real security for ourselves and our families involves respecting and enhancing human rights-including social, economic and cultural rights-rather than trampling them.
Over the past year, many of our fellow citizens have taken up the challenge to redirect our country's response to September 11 through activism in their communities and at the national level. We applaud those efforts to swim against a powerful tide of conformism, and seek to support them through our "Rethinking Global Security" campaign. This educational initiative seeks to bring the perspective of our international development and human rights work to the challenges of building sustainable peace.
We also have two security-related workshops: Extending Rights, Building Security Workshop and Global Security: Options Beyond War Workshop Curriculum.
On behalf of the people with whom we work in Brazil, East Timor, Eritrea, Haiti, Mexico and Palestine, we invite your comments on "Rethinking Global Security" and we thank you for your own work to create security through justice and enhanced human rights.

I haven't posted photos of sarcophagi in a while. Sarcophagus tombs in most modern cemeteries just look like they hold a body. The actual person is usually interred below or next to the monument.

Gateways to another world

Arches and archways in cemeteries are supposed to symbolize the entrance to heaven. These particular examples are from Harrisburg Cemetery in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.
A Grave Concern: Broken
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged broken, broken stem, bud, chester township cemetery, chesterland, grave art, harrisburg, harrisburg cemetery, ohio, pennsylvania, sculpture, symbolism on November 25, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
An unopened or partially opened bud with a broken stem is a frequent symbol on the graves of young people – not just children, but young adults. It symbolizes the unrealized possibilities from death at a young age.
A Grave Concern: Today I am thankful…
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged family, harrisburg, harrisburg cemetery, pennsylvania, thanksgiving on November 24, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
I've shown you this stone before but I'm showing it to you for a different reason. This man, like my grandfather, worked for the railroad (unlike my grandfather, this man died on the railroad). My grandfather doesn't have anything about his employer, the Pennsylvania Railroad, on his stone. I am grateful that my grandfather, despitte his teh fact that the was able to work with only a 5th grade education, encouraged me to continue mine. He wanted me to go to college, and he was one of the few people who never questioned that I wanted to go to graduate school. I may not yet have the job I want, but I don't have to do the hard manual labor that wore down his body and caused him pain not only at the time, but in the last years of his life.
A Grave Concern: He's an Egyptian!
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged cleveland, egyptian, egyptian revival, grave art, harrisburg, harrisburg cemetery, lakeview cemetery, ohio, pennsylvania, sculpture, symbolism on November 22, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
It's been a while since I wrote about this, so on the anniversary of the opening of King Tutankhamen's tomb, let's look at some more examples of the Egyptian Revival style in funerary art. The United States and Europe were already pretty fascinated by ancient Egypt before 1922, so the discovery of the rich tomb attracted international attention. Some of that fascination was reflected in their cemeteries.
The light was better on this side of the Rice monument to show you the motif that runs all the way around the top edge.
The previous two examples are from Lake View Cemetery in Cleveland, Ohio. The last one is from Harrisburg Cemetery (Harrisburg, Pennsylvania), and was so close to the cliffs at the edge that I could only photograph it from the side.
A Grave Concern: Drapes and curtains
Posted in Cemetery Sculpture, Symbolism, tagged ashtabula, calvary cemetery, chestnut grove cemetery, chicago, curtains, drapes, grave art, harrisburg, harrisburg cemetery, illinois, ohio, pennsylvania, sculpture, symbolism on September 12, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
I've written about draped urns before, but I haven't written about the symbol of drapes or curtains all by themselves. Most people who study cemetery symbolism agree that the depiction of draperies on a tombstone is a symbol of mourning. Into the 20th century, it was customary in the United States to put out black drapes (not just as curtains, but over mantlepieces, furniture, and other decor) during a period of mourning.
A Grave Concern: Prosper Dallien
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged cause of death, civil war, harrisburg, harrisburg cemetery, history, pennsylvania, soldier, tombstone tales, veteran on June 2, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
On this date in 1865, Prosper Dallien died while recovering from wounds he had received at Petersburg more than two months before. Petersburg, Virginia, was under siege by the Union army for around 9 months. The specific conflict mentioned on Captain Dallien's tombstone, Fort Stedman, marked Lee's final attack of the Civil War. Trying to break the siege of Petersburg, Confederate forces under General John B. Gordon attacked the Union redoubt Fort Stedman on March 25, 1865. The Confederates were able to gain control of the redoubt and surrounding trenches that day, but were driven out again by Union reinforcements on the next day. It is during this battle that Dallien was wounded. I don't know if Captain Dallien died of those wounds or contracted disease while in the hospital, but by the time he died, the Civil War had officially ended and the first steps had been taken to reconciliation.

- "Automobile junkies and environmentalists are likely to embrace the movie with the same excitement they brought the first one, although since it doesn't reveal a lot of new information," wrote indieWIRE critic Eric Kohn of 'Revenge of the Electric Car,' the follow-up to the 2006 documentary 'Who Killed the Electric Car.' The film earned a B from Kohn.

- It looks like Steven Soderbergh's retirement plans may have gotten pushed back.

The Playlist reported on Soderbergh's surprising decision to get back in the saddle one more time.
- When 'The High Cost of Living' hits theaters in May, audiences will witness Zach Braff's dark side. The Playlist sat down with Braff to talk over his decision to play a drug dealer who unwittingly causes the loss of a woman's child. "The challenge with me was calling myself on my bullshit go-to acting comfort zones," said Braff, "and really try to throw that out the window and start new."

Prevage Body by Elizabeth Arden16 Jun
I was reading a copy of Harper's Bazaar on the way back from London, where I studied customer-focused marketing at LBS, and an ad of a product called Prevage Body by Elizabeth Arden caught my attention. Before I start giving you an exact description, here is a photo of this ad:
You might not see it clearly on this image, but there's a headless body of a plastic doll. On the right side of the plastic body, you see descriptions of various problems attributed to different parts of the body. As I was reading one after another, I was getting slightly shocked:
Decolletage: "Maximum exposure means dreaded age spots, fine lines and crepiness. Freckles are definitely not cute any more."
Arms: "Dryness, sun damage, rough, bumpy skin. Loss of firmness and elasticity. To check, do the wave test."
Stomach: "Weight gain and loss. Childbirth. Need to say more?"
Hands: Age spots, dry, thin, skin. Exposure to sun and environmental irritants. Hands reveal it all."
The Bottom Line: Loss of firmness and tone. Stretch marks and sagging. It's time to take a firm position."
Legs: "Roughness and sun damage, dryness and dimpled skin. Only one other thing makes them look better — beautiful shoes."
Amazingly negative, right? The parts of text in bold have been highlighted by me as particularly sad. I could have probably highlighted the whole thing.
My first question to myself as I was reading this was, "Do women REALLY have such a HORRIBLE self-image?" And, if, sadly, they do, is this kind of positioning going to do any good for this, presumably effective product?
Post a comment!

Hi there,
I am looking to profile this ad in a piece I am writing and I'd like to determine which issue of Harper's Bazaar it appeared in. Do you, by chance, know what issue (Month and Year) you saw it in?

Brad Pitt doesn't care how popular vampires have become – he wasn't all that thrilled to be playing one.
"I am miserable," he tells Entertainment Weekly of his appearance in 1994's Interview With the Vampire. "Six months in the f---ing dark … contact lenses, makeup, I'm playing the bitch role."
Pitt, 47, shares plenty more candid thoughts on his life and his many movies (his latest, Moneyball, opens Sept. 23) in the magazine's cover story this week. Among the revelations:
On the Twilight phenomenon:
"I don't know enough about it, really. Listen, because of my kids, I see only movies for 10 and under. I've seen them all, and I've seen them 10 times over."
On actors secretly loving being named PEOPLE's Sexiest Man Alive
"Well, they're not saying you're the Biggest A--hole, you know? When you get older, you realize it's just for fun. Clooney and I were able to have fun with it later."
On acting with one of PEOPLE's Most Beautiful, Julia Roberts, in The Mexican
"I love her. She's so articulate and witty and vivacious – everything I'm not."
On feeling protective of Angelina when she was criticized for The Tourist
"Listen, man, if we're that shallow-skinned, we shouldn't be in here. We're used to being in the ring and taking some punches."
On being mentioned in the song "Billionaire" in the lyrics, "probably pull an Angelina and Brad Pitt/And adopt a bunch of babies that ain't never had s---"
"That's sweet. It's just unfortunate that my name rhymes with s---."

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences honored UC Santa Barbara professor Ted Kim with a Technical Achievement Oscar.
Kim and three former colleagues developed wavelet turbulence software. The program allows film makers to create giant explosions and fireballs faster than the previous technology.
"People knew how to do it and they knew it was really expensive so it took forever to do," said Kim. "We figured out there's actually a quicker way to do it that artists will probably like working with a lot better."
Wavelet turbulence is being used in some of Hollywood's largest production including "Life of Pi," which is nominated for best picture at the Academy Awards.
Twenty-seven feature films have used Kim's software and that helped add him to a short list of academics to win Oscar gold.

GENEVA - High oil prices threaten the recovery of the global airline industry, which is emerging from the crisis caused by last year's SARS epidemic and the Iraq war, the head of the International Air Transport Association said Thursday.
With oil prices near $40 a barrel, "the problem is now on the cost side," said Giovanni Bisignani.
"On average, fuel accounts for 16 percent of airline operating costs. Fuel prices are 55 percent higher than one year ago. This could add between $8 and $12 billion to our annual fuel bill and threatens to strangle our modest projected return to profitability. Instead of flying high, we could be left swimming in red ink."
IATA - which comprises 275 international air companies - said passenger traffic in the first four months of 2004 rose 15.4 percent over the same period a year ago. Freight traffic was up 11.3 percent.

NEW YORK -- A New York man has been charged with unwittingly providing unlicensed banking services to a man who plotted to set off a bomb in Times Square earlier this year.
Mohammad Younis was charged today with engaging in activities that funded the attempted Times Square bombing on May 1.
A release issued by U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara said Younis provided thousands of dollars in cash to two individuals at the direction of a coconspirator in Pakistan.
Authorities said one person was Faisal Shahzad of Connecticut, who has pleaded guilty to 10 terrorism and weapons counts in connection with the attempted bombing.
Younis is charged with conducting an unlicensed money transmitting business and conspiracy to do so. Both charges carry a potential of up to five years in prison.

Defeating 12,000, Odd Couple Diane Crowley and Jeff Zaslow Win Ann Landers' Old Job
"Hold hands," the photographer commands. "I don't think that's really necessary," sniffs Crowley. Trying to be helpful, Zaslow offers a suggestion: "Do you want us jumping?"
"Are you nuts?" says Crowley.
As this moment suggests, the latest rookies in the advice game, who will appear in the Sun-Times on alternate days starting next week, seem to have little in common except the write stuff. Diane Crowley is the picture of self-discipline. Jeff Zaslow is spontaneous. She is middle of the road. He is sometimes off the map. She is divorced, has two sons 23 and 22, and has been a teacher and lawyer. He is about to marry glamorous Detroit anchor woman Sherry Margolis and has put in just seven years as a feature writer for the Orlando (Florida) Sentinel and the Wall Street Journal's Chicago bureau.
But the biggest difference may be in their motivations. Crowley has family tradition behind her new assignment: Her mother, Ruth, was the original "Ann Landers," from whom Eppie Lederer inherited the pen name she has taken with her to the Chicago Tribune, the Sun-Times' rival. Zaslow entered the contest for Lederer's replacement largely as a lark. It seemed to him and his Journal editors a fun way to cover the three-month selection process, which included interviews, background checks and sample columns.
The two from whom thousands of Chicagoans—and millions of Americans, if syndication gets big—will seek advice promise to be as different in print as they are in life. Diane will use the traditional question-and-answer format in her columns, to be called "Your Problems." "I'm going to use my life experiences as a professional, a mother and a wife," she says. Zaslow's column will be called "All That Zazz," because, he says, "all the men in my family were called 'Zazz'." He adds, "I'm going to approach the column like a good reporter would. I'm going to be out in the street, not just sitting behind a desk waiting for letters." A spokesman for the Sun-Times, which chose the two from 12,000 contenders, says the pairing will be "dynamic."
Born in Illinois, Crowley was just 15 when her mother died in 1955 and Eppie Lederer took over the Landers column. "Diane is very much like our mother, a very warm and caring person," says her brother Bill. Diane graduated from St. Mary's College in Indiana in 1961 and a year later married Raymond Ratkowski, an FBI agent. She took her law degree at the University of Connecticut in 1982. Divorced in 1980, she still lives in Longmeadow, Mass., where she spent the last 11 years of her marriage, and plans to rent a place in Chicago in a few weeks.
Zaslow, the son of a real estate broker, was raised in Philadelphia and picked up a B.A. in creative writing in 1980 from Pittsburgh's Carnegie-Mellon University. "His compassion for others is not window dressing," says his mother, Naomi, a publicist. "When he was in high school his grandmother was in her last days, and he took a part-time job in her nursing home so he could help with her meals."
The woman Diane and Jeff are replacing is uncharacteristically mum about her successors, possibly for competitive reasons: Lederer has taken an estimated 85 million readers of her syndicated column with her. That's a pretty good head start, but Zaslow and Crowley are undaunted. "We don't intend to beat her right away," he says. "But in time, we will."
Then, posing for the photog again, he waves his arms over his head.
"Being cute," sighs Diane, "is very exhausting."

NPI data release has industry concerned
CHICAGO – With the distribution of national provider identifer numbers expected to occur this month, provider organizations are registering protests about the release of data.
Last month, the American Medical Association wrote the Department of Health and Human Services, expressing "serious concerns" about the distribution of physician demographic information over the Internet.
Others in the industry have questioned the short timeframe physicians have to view and correct data related to their NPIs, the fact that there are no controls on who could apply for a national provider identifier, and the lack of controls or
auditing over who is viewing physician data. The release could be a springboard to fraud and abuse, or enable identity theft, they contend.
In fact, current plans call for 2.2 million NPIs - along with associated data - to be available for download from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services Web site. Visitors to the Web site also will be able use an NPI registry search engine, CMS has announced.
In a June 14 roundtable call on the NPI data release, CMS said the release of the data is protected under the Freedom of Information Act.
CMS is asking providers to review the data they've submitted to the National Plan & Provider Ennumeration System in applying for their NPIs. Providers can go online and delete any information in optional fields and begin the process of correcting other information. The agency, which had an original deadline of June 28 for such review, said it is considering a 30-day extension to give providers more time to review their data.
That's important because some providers may have inadvertently included personal information in applying for an NPI, said Patricia Peyton, health insurance specialist in the office of financial management for CMS. For example, they may have listed the address of a personal residence instead of their business address or mailing address, she said.
Of much concern is the information contained in the "optional" field of the NPI data. Physicians have been asked to include "legacy" identifying numbers from current payers, as a way to facilitate the connection of these numbers to the new NPIs. The numbers were supposed to go into wide use on May 23, but because the industry was not ready to make the switch, the government issued a one-year delay as a contingency plan.
While providers can delete any optional information, removing legacy identifiers could cause significant problems because, outside of a huge volume of provider to insurer communication, there's no easy way to facilitate the massive sharing of NPIs and legacy numbers to facilitate crosswalks between the two.
CMS will not release certain information not protected by FOIA, including: Social Security numbers; taxpayer identification numbers; and date and location of birth.
Officials say that much of the information being released with the NPI is publicly available already. In the June 14 roundtable, CMS encouraged providers to include legacy identifiers to help trading partners link NPIs to existing numbers.
There should be concern about whether physicians will be able to review data associated with their NPIs, said Michael L. Nelson, director of business development for Health Market Science, a company offering NPI services and applications.
Nelson noted that there was no qualifying process for obtaining an NPI, and anyone could get a number. "It's not legal to do so, but anyone could get around the system," he said. "All they check is the name, Social Security Number, and date and place of birth."
However, Nelson believes that the information expected to be released with the NPI is "pretty innocuous" and "fairly easy to look up."

text: elementary counselors Class sizes preserved, counselors cut in Seattle schools budget By Charla Bear • Jul 7, 2011 Listen Listening... / Despite facing the steepest budget shortfall in the past 3 years, Seattle Public School officials say class sizes will not get any bigger next fall. The district's school board unanimously approved a plan last night to close a $45.5 million gap with considerable cuts to school supports and jobs, but teachers were largely spared. Seattle school budget cuts to hit staff, support programs and kindergarten By Charla Bear • Feb 10, 2011 Elaine Thompson / AP As schools across the state grapple with huge budget issues, administrators in Seattle say they need to cut elementary counselors, programs for struggling students and full-day kindergarten classes. Those are some of their final recommendations after months of pouring over options. Administrators did manage to shave more than $1.7 million from the budget gap, but they still face a nearly $35 million shortfall.
