Spellbound by Beauty/i>/p>/b>
The inspiration behind BBC2's The Girl starring Toby Jones and Sienna Miller, Spellbound by Beauty examines Hitchcock's relationship with his leading ladies including Tippi Hendren and Grace Kelly. Hitchcock is also the subject of an upcoming film, Hitchcock, starring Anthony Hopkins and Helen Mirren due for release in 2013.
Spellbound by Beauty examines Alfred Hitchcock's well known collaborations with the leading ladies of his day, and, in so doing, delves into his creative life and his uniquely curious professional and personal relationships. The result is a singular kind of life story - a book about film and film stars; business and power; sex and fantasy; romance and derailed psychology.
Drawing on explosive, never-before-published material and details gleaned through his friendship with Hitchcock, along with archival material and personal collections only recently made available, Donald Spoto casts a new light on this most famous of directors. He traces Hitchcock's professional and social rise and deals frankly with his strange marriage to Alma Reville, his distance from his daughter, Patricia, and his obsessive relationships with a number of his leading ladies from Grace Kelly and Kim Novak to Tippi Hedren.
Editorial Reviews
The New York Times
In this enthralling third installment of his Hitchcock trilogy (after The Dark Side of Genius and The Art of Alfred Hitchcock), Spoto paints a portrait of a man as talented as he was troubled. Spoto examines each film in terms of its leading lady, but focuses especially on the three cool blondes with whom Hitchcock was famously obsessed: Ingrid Bergman (Spellbound, Notorious and Under Capricorn), Grace Kelly (Dial "M" for Murder, Rear Window and To Catch a Thief) and Tippi Hedren (The Birds and Marnie). While Bergman never returned Hitchcock's romantic advances, the pair struck up a lasting friendship. With Kelly, Hitchcock felt he had molded the young actress into his ideal woman with just the right mix of elegance and sexuality. When Kelly left Hollywood, Hitchcock sought a replacement and found newcomer Tippi Hedren, whom he both fawned over and humiliated during their two films together. Relying on hours of personal interviews with both Hitchcock and his various players, Spoto shines an admiring yet unflinching light on one of the most celebrated directors in history.

While this could have been a serious study of Hitchcock's obsessions and predilection for filming blondes, best-selling biographer Spoto offers only a few paragraphs on these subjects; the balance of his work chronicles Hitchcock's alleged sadistic treatment of actresses. Whether it's physical torture during filming or sexual harassment behind the scenes, Spoto relates every incident on a film-by-film basis, and his writing becomes repetitious if not tedious. He does a disservice to the master of suspense by ignoring his ability to get award-winning performances out of his stars and his success with bold and innovative cinematic techniques. In Spoto's 1983 The Dark Side of Genius, his meticulous analysis brings out the seldom-seen character of a complex filmmaker. Subsequently, there have been scholarly studies such as Tania Modleski's The Women Who Knew Too Much that provide an in-depth understanding of Hitchcock's misogyny. Unfortunately, this latest effort by Spoto is an unnecessary sequel to his earlier, accomplished work, although it may satisfy readers who have an appetite for scandalous anecdotes. An optional purchase for public libraries.
Victor Or
—The New York Times
"What was behind [Hitchcock's] talent for turning perverse thematic elements such as voyeurism, bondage and murder fantasies into mainstream entertainment? According to Spellbound by Beauty…it was partly derived from a sexually repressed outcast's Svengali-like compulsion to manipulate and mistreat a long line of unattainable icy blondes."
—USA Today
"Fascinating . . . probes an even darker side of Hitchcock."
"[Spoto] informs Spellbound by Beauty with his profound knowledge of his subject, years of sound reporting, highly polished prose, and sensible analysis."
—Richmond Times-Dispatch
"Expert insights into Hitchcock's films."
—Oregonian (Portland)
"You will never look at a Hitchcock movie the same."
—Tampa Tribune
"[F]ocuses on Hitchcock's sometimes troubled, sometimes perverse, always manipulative relationships with his leading ladies….The chapters on his behavior during the filming of The Birds and Marnie are riveting and deeply troubling, revealing an artist at once losing his touch and losing touch with reality."
—Booklist, starred review
Praise for Donald Spoto
"I am gratified by what Donald Spoto says about my work, and I am impressed by the wit and grace of his writing."
—Alfred Hitchcock
"Exceptionally thoughtful. Spoto's total familiarity with the films is manifest throughout. He ably demonstrates that Hitchcock was not only a master of suspense but an artist of the first rank as well."
—Library Journal
"Combines engaging analysis with wit and scholarship."
—Chicago Sun-Times
"Absolutely compulsory reading. A serious and intelligent account, both credible and reasonable."
—New York Times
"A vivid and perceptive portrait. Hitchcock has been well served by a knowledgeable and revealing biography."
"With unblinking objectivity and insight, Spoto gives a balanced account of a man who shaped his fears and repressions into a powerful and popular art."
"Sensational in its revelations—but at the same time, a biography of unassailable integrity. I could not put it down."
—Gregory Peck

Chapter One
Love in Handcuffs (1920-1926)
For five years beginning in 1920, when he was twenty-one, Alfred Hitchcock worked in London for Famous Players-Lasky, the British production branch of Hollywood's Paramount Pictures. Most of the senior technical staff were Americans, imported to work on the two small stages, once a power station in the borough of Islington.
Hitchcock's first job, illustrating the title cards of silent movies, gave him access to various jobs on an ad hoc basis: designer for this picture, or art director, co-writer or production manager for that one. Unlike the job specialization in the American movie industry, laborers hired by English studios were encouraged to perform multiple tasks, working wher-ever their talents could be exploited-hence the multitalented young Hitchcock became a jack-of-all-work on at least eighteen British silent movies. "All my early training was by Americans," he said years later, "and it was far superior to the British."
In 1923, he was still putting in long hours and learning new, up-to-date production methods. That year, producer Michael Balcon took over the studio when Paramount withdrew; Balcon's goal was to sponsor entertainment for an international (especially an American) audience. Accordingly, Balcon had brought over Hollywood's Betty Compson to star in a picture called Woman to Woman, on which Hitchcock worked, as he said, as "general factotum. I wrote the script. I designed the sets, and I managed the production. It was the first film that I had really got my hands onto."
It was also the first of five films on which he worked for the studio's leading director, Graham Cutts, with whom he had an increasingly hostile relationship. The trouble was caused by Cutts's indiscreet extramarital liaisons, which Hitchcock considered unprofessional, as they invariably necessitated rearrangement of the production schedule. Additionally, Hitchcock may have envied Cutts his easy way with the ladies; in any case, he certainly wanted to supplant Cutts and to secure additional credits, the better to impress Balcon. "I was quite dogmatic," he said. "I would build a set and say to the director, 'Here's where it's shot from!' "
Cutts resented Hitchcock's assertive style and said so, but Balcon was impressed with the younger man's talent and drive-especially after Cutts returned to London in early 1925, after filming The Blackguard in Berlin. While in Germany, Hitchcock had expeditiously resolved many logistical problems caused by Cutts's ineffective balancing act of work, wife and women on the side. Soon after, Balcon asked Hitchcock to direct a motion picture.
"I had no intention of becoming a film director," Hitchcock always said of this time in his career. "I was very happy doing the scripts and the art direction. I hadn't thought of myself as a director"-which was evidently not the case. Working on productions six days weekly for almost five years, he was clearly keen for promotion: he was writing scripts, designing sets, working with editors, and was, to his chagrin, paid miserably in comparison with established directors. Eager to perform any task on a picture by dispatching quickly and effectively every challenging aspect of production, Hitchcock indeed, according to Balcon, "wanted to be a director, but it was not easy to get a young man launched in so important a job," because financiers and distributors were wary of promoting an assistant.
And so Balcon turned to his foreign partners: "I had to arrange to have [Hitchcock direct his first two pictures] in Germany because of the resistance to his becoming a director" in London. With the screenwriter Eliot Stannard, the assistant director Alma Reville, and the cinematographer Gaetano di Ventimiglia, Hitchcock headed for exterior location shooting in northern Italy and then for studio work in Munich, where they were joined by a crew of international technicians and co-producers. Hitchcock absorbed enough rudimentary German to communicate his wishes.
His assignment was The Pleasure Garden, based on an unexceptional but once popular novel about two London showgirls, their shifting fidelities to the difficult men in their lives, and their dangerous sojourn in the tropics-all of it wrapped up in a dénouement of madness and murder. The principal characters were portrayed by American stars acting in Germany and Italy as if the settings were London and the Far East. Hitchcock had the task of making all this appear realistic and emotionally credible, and for the most part, he succeeded admirably.
Balcon imported a pair of Hollywood's top glamour girls, Virginia Valli and Carmelita Geraghty. Virginia had already appeared in forty-seven pictures under the direction of John Ford, King Vidor and others. She wanted to hear what Hitchcock planned and how she would look in the finished film. Carmelita had equivalent concerns.
"I was in a cold sweat," Hitchcock admitted later. "I wanted to disguise the fact that this was my first directorial effort. I dreaded to think what [Virginia Valli], an established Hollywood star, would say if she discovered that she had been brought all the way over to Europe to be directed by a beginner. I was terrified at giving her instructions. I've no idea how many times I asked my future wife [Alma Reville] if I was doing the right thing. She, sweet soul, gave me courage by swearing I was doing marvelously."
So began a historic collaboration. Alma Reville had a keen eye, she knew how stories should be structured and rendered visually, she had worked as an editor and she was not hesitant to tell Hitchcock just what she thought. Tiny and titian-haired, she gave a first impression of shy gentility, but the real Alma Reville was an acutely intelligent, self-assured woman of steely resolve, quite different from the insecure Hitchcock, who was ever self-conscious about his appearance, his tastes and his modest Cockney background. Whenever a tough decision had to be made in business or private life, Alma acted fearlessly.
Hitchcock admitted his fears, which were linked to a childhood sense of insecurity. "Fear? It has influenced my life and my career, and I've known it since my childhood. I remember when I was five or six. It was a Sunday evening, the only time my parents did not have to work. They put me to bed and went to Hyde Park for a stroll"-then a ninety-minute tram and train ride from the Hitchcock home. "They were sure I would be asleep until their return. But I woke up, called out, and no one answered. Nothing but night all around me. Shaking, I got up, wandered around the empty, dark house and, finally arriving in the kitchen, found a piece of cold meat which I ate while drying my tears."
Hitchcock was uncomfortable around his two American stars, but he knew how much he needed them. He also resented their enormous salaries, and his budget forestalled their expectations of the kind of Hollywood-style luxury they had there. "Valli was big stuff and knew it," according to Hitchcock. "She expected a brass band. She expected the red carpet. But she didn't get them. Valli was peeved, but she turned out to be sweet enough."
Filming began in June 1925 in northern Italy, before moving to the studio interiors in Munich, which were suffocatingly hot that summer, for the ceilings were glass and air-conditioning was unknown. Everything seemed to go wrong: there were numerous delays from uncooperative extra players, and then a trained dog simply wandered off and his replacement insistently licked off the makeup applied to him to replicate his predecessor. After that, a woman hired to play a native girl arrived on the day of her swimming scene and promptly announced that her monthly period would prevent her going into the water.
This bit of news, Hitchcock claimed, was an educational experience for him. He insisted that he had never heard of the menstrual cycle because it had not been included in his schoolboy education-nor, one might add, had production design or scriptwriting. But like his assertion that he had no thought of becoming a director, this statement of ignorance simply cannot be taken at face value. He was twenty-six, had an older sister and brother, certainly must have noticed discreet advertisements for feminine hygiene products and had worked at a movie studio during the freewheeling 1920s-not generally a place and time of polite discourse. Sexually inexperienced though he claims to have been, he was not a backward, preadolescent country boy from an earlier century. Ordinary curiosity surely must have supplemented his formal education.
But word circulated that Hitchcock was an unsophisticated innocent, which (as he may have intended) evoked the benignly maternal, protective reactions of Valli and Geraghty and much improved both the tone of the production and their pliancy in his hands. Thus, he won them over not by exhibiting his sophistication, but by feigning ignorance. He employed, in other words, whatever it took to achieve the desired effect-including his demand that Virginia Valli wear a blond wig for her role.
When Balcon arrived in Munich to have a look at Hitchcock's first cut of the picture, he agreed with the director that rearrangements were called for, but for marketing purposes, he also said he liked the American look of the picture. The Pleasure Garden revealed, too, Hitchcock's skillful use of hallucinatory cinematic techniques (dissolves and double printing, for example)-and, for commercial appeal, the emphasis on fast-paced action alternating with scenes of violence and boudoir sex.
The final form of The Pleasure Garden contains several elements that would intrigue Hitchcock throughout his career: the theatrical setting (which recurs in The Ring, Murder!, The 39 Steps, Sabotage, Young and Innocent, Saboteur, Stage Fright, North by Northwest and Torn Curtain); the motif of voyeurism (especially in Rear Window and Psycho); the experience of emotional breakdown (in, for example, Shadow of a Doubt, Spellbound, Under Capricorn, Stage Fright, the remake of The Man Who Knew Too Much, The Wrong Man, Vertigo, Psycho, The Birds and Marnie); and the psychological torture and physical pain inflicted on women by violent men (which runs from Blackmail through Family Plot). The last element is not peculiar to Hitchcock's entertainments, of course: the damsel in distress is virtually an ancient archetype, long a staple of literature, poetry, theater, opera and movies. But Hitchcock showed the world, in stark closeup, that misogyny was part of a pandemic social pathology. He was neither moralist nor preacher, but his work consistently reveals that the fine arts of human exploitation and cruelty are symptoms of a deep fissure in the human spirit.
The Pleasure Garden opens with a close shot of women's legs, hastening down a spiral staircase toward the stage of the eponymous theater, where the women dance with wild abandon typical of the Jazz Age; the movement is so animated that this silent film suddenly becomes a kind of vivid flipbook. Hitchcock then shows the men in the audience, formally dressed and leering as they gaze at the dancers through their opera glasses. These will become mainstream themes and images for Hitchcock-characters in the world of make-believe drawn into bizarre real-life dramas; voyeurism; the camera observing an observer; the rapid transitions from the watcher to the watched; the dizzying staircase-and mischievous humor. "What every chorus girl knows," announces a title card-and the movie then shows a woman washing her stockings in a basin. Hitchcock's bedroom scenes occur later in the movie, and there is nothing coy, bashful or boyish about them.
Life within and outside this pleasure garden, from London's Piccadilly to the tropics, is a perilous paradise-thus the ominous snake entwined around a tree on the title card designs Hitchcock devised, adding another layer of meaning to the film's title. The chase and nick-of-time rescue at the finale reveal his familiarity with filmmakers such as D. W. Griffith, and Hitchcock was certainly inspired by Charles Chaplin and Buster Keaton as much as by Germans such as F. W. Murnau and Fritz Lang, whom he had met in Berlin. One stylistic conceit particularly marked the Hitchcock style from 1925 forward: characters often gaze directly at the camera, thus making the audience a corresponding player, a participant in the drama.
Hitchcock boldly added his initials (and sometimes his full signature) to the intertitle designs. In this regard, he was again taking a page from Chaplin and Griffith, who were among the first to understand that the marketing of their own names was as critical as the selling of the properties or presenting an attractive leading lady. "Actors come and go," Hitchcock told his colleagues at London's Film Society that year, "but the name of the director should stay clearly in the mind of the audiences." That attitude led to his cameo appearances in his films: he became the artist signing his canvas, reminding viewers that this was an Alfred J. Hitchcock production.
When Balcon screened The Pleasure Garden in London for the press, journalists were enthusiastic-"a powerful and interesting story [that] promises well for Hitchcock's future efforts," proclaimed the trade journal Bioscope on March 25, 1926. But the financiers working with Balcon would not distribute the picture, claiming that its content and style would alienate British audiences accustomed to more straightforward and less visually inventive movies. Hence Balcon decided to shelve The Pleasure Garden for a while-but he had not lost faith in Hitchcock, to whom he gave another crack at directing. (Later, American journalists were scathing, calling the picture "sappy" and "a Wiener schnitzel," and banishing it straightaway.)
As for Virginia Valli and Carmelita Geraghty, they apparently never spoke on the record about Hitchcock, even after his international fame was secure. That was perhaps due to the dramatic changes in their lives, which led them to reject all later requests for interviews about their days as movie stars. Carmelita worked in an additional fifty-three pictures during the next decade, but then, at thirty-four, she retired and became a successful professional artist whose paintings were sold at galleries across America; she died in 1966.
Virginia turned her back on Hollywood after appearing in eighteen more movies. Real-life romance replaced the imaginary sort when she met the dashing actor Charles Farrell, whom she married in 1931, when she was thirty-three. For the next thirty-seven years, until her death in 1968, she lived more happily than any heroine she portrayed. For her as for Carmelita, glamour-girl vanity was no longer important.
On his side, Hitchcock referred to his first leading ladies only to cite the costs of their excess personal baggage and their refusal to eat the food served on European trains.

The author put in too much detail about films, sets, designs, etc. The personal side could have been expounded more fully and would have been a more interesting read.
This was just an ok book. Something to fill in the time with.
Who doesn't love an Alfred Hitchcock movie? His unique style of directing thrillers, mysteries, and character studies has enthralled millions worldwide. But there was a darker side of A.H., one that many of his leading ladies came to dread. The director was extremely possessive, and was obsessed by many of the beautiful women he directed. His behavior often amounted to sexual harrassment so grievous that today he'd find himself facing charges in court. Tippi Hedren's experience was particularly harrowing when she worked with him in "The Birds" and "Marnie" - he made the actress's career but almost broke her spirit. Told in a linear fashion, starting with his earliest films, the book discusses each film and how he related to the leading lady - also fascinating are the follow-up stories for the women's lives and careers.
Great read. What a complexperson Hitchcock was

(Made an ad for fun, based off an EGM-like theme. I've been feeling nostalgic lately.)
I figured that I should try and get something going on next week at PAX other than the actual show. As I have been more frequent these days on Twitter, perhaps I can actually utilize the damn thing with something useful... Like my adventures at PAX! Here's the rundown on what I'm planning on bringing to you guys:

Big game means prime time at Erie's eateries
Some people like the football. Others like the commercials. Just about everyone likes the food.
Super Bowl Sunday is the biggest night of the year for pizza, according to www.pizza.com. Meanwhile, Americans will chow down on 1.25 billion chicken wings.
Business magazine Forbes reported in 2013 that 48 million Americans would order takeout for the game.
Shawn Festa knows all about it. The owner of wing joint Fiddle Inn in Harborcreek will be watching the game -- in his restaurant kitchen, where he has DirecTV.
"Well, I listen more than I watch," he said.
Festa expects wing sales today to be twice or three times that of his average Sunday. He said during the 2013 Super Bowl, the restaurant sold 296 dozen wings -- almost 500 pounds. Usually, he sells 1,000 pounds in a week.
"We do a hell of a lot of chicken wings on Super Bowl Sunday," Festa said, nearly all in takeout. Preorders were already coming in Monday. Last year, he said, he couldn't have taken even one additional order between 3 and 5 p.m.
The story is the same at Avonia Tavern in Fairview.
"We do a tremendous amount of takeout," owner Jacquie Sornberger said. "We order four times as many wings as normal.
"As far as takeout, it's our biggest day of the year."
All of those wings have to come from somewhere. At Gordon's Quality Meat Market, the Super Bowl actually falls on Saturday, when they finish filling wing orders for several local restaurants, as well as those for individual customers.
"It's just plain crazy," said clerk Heather Annunziata, adding that the pressure builds throughout the week before the game, and they're rocking and rolling until they close Saturday night. (Gordon's is closed on Sunday.)
Plan on a few extra minutes getting around Wegmans today.
"The Super Bowl has turned into a holiday just like New Year's or Christmas," said Jim Bure, manager of the Peach Street Wegmans. "Sales ramp up throughout the week, with people who make their own snacks at home, and those who buy them prepared."
He said Wegmans is expanding its to-go offerings for the occasion, adding a chili bar, a "ramped up" chicken wing bar, specials on pizza and subs, freshly made salsa and guacamole, even sushi trays.
Everything goes pretty quickly, Bure said -- until the game starts.
"We're pretty busy all day, but it all goes away by kickoff."
Pizza and chicken wings will be flying out of John's Wildwood Pizzeria in Edinboro.
"This is a really big day," owner John Bellucci said. "It's all concentrated between 4 and 7 (p.m.)," he said.
It's hard to keep up.
"We only sell as we can sell," he said. "We might be capped out."
Bellucci said his Super Bowl business is dictated by the game itself.
"When Steelers are in, it's bigger," he said. "It's massive."
He guessed it might be the same story if the Cleveland Browns were to make it to the big game. Then he laughed a little at that unlikelihood.
The pace of the game matters, too.
"One year, it came down to the last play," he said. "There wasn't a sound that last 30 minutes of that game. Nobody called. Nobody picked up."
Larry Adiutori, owner of Larry's Central Market, known for its fresh sausage, said the Super Bowl is pretty big there, too, boosting business by about 25 percent over a normal week. For that he's grateful.
"It's really a dead time of the year," he said. "The Super Bowl is the only shot in the arm we get all winter."
Every year, customers line up outside Valerio's Italian Restaurant & Pizzeria locations on Super Bowl Sunday.
"Starting about 3 (p.m.) to half-time is the busiest we are the entire year," said Valerio's owner Michael Valerio, adding that the day is easily three times as big as a normal Sunday.
"Across the three stores, we'll sell 80 cases of wings in a four-hour period.
"It's pure madness. We have to have the entire staff that day," including himself.
He said all of that staffing actually cuts into his profits on one of the busiest days of the year.
"Well, we have to discount to get the business," he said. "And we have to have the entire staff for that little spurt, four hours of madness.
"Profit margins are very slim. Sometimes I think it's not worth it."
But it's not all bad.
"It's fun," he said. "We put TVs in the kitchen so the guys cooking can watch the game. We have to make deals to get them to work on Super Bowl Sunday."

The first time Ken Giles struck out Miami's Giancarlo Stanton, he used a slider. That was Monday, and when Giles entered Tuesday's game, he again encountered one of the game's best sluggers. Stanton waved at two 88-m.p.h. sliders from the rookie Phillies reliever. Then, Giles fired a 98-m.p.h. fastball past Stanton.
"Good stuff," Stanton said a day later.
The powerful fastball is spawned the nickname "Hundred-Miles Giles" and endless hype in the minors. When he pitches, fans fix their attention on the radar-gun readings. But it is his slider, so far, that is most impressive.
"It's hard to put a good slider into play," Giles said. He smiled. "It's perfect timing. It came around, finally."

New RTD Bus Fares in 2016
In January 2016, the cost to ride RTD's system changed. For more information, review the RTD Fare Study.
Select the bus routes below, visit the RTD Bus website, use the RTD Trip Planner, or call RTD at 303-299-6000.
RTD released real-time information to the public on Dec. 31, 2015. The beta phase includes real-time prediction arrivals for all RTD local buses and published vehicle location information on all fixed bus routes. RTD also made the data available to the public for 3 rd party developers to use and create mobile applications. Transit App is the first mobile app to use the real-time data feed to provide real-time prediction arrivals for RTD local bus routes. Transit App also has the capability of displaying the vehicle location information for local and regional buses.
RTD expects their real-time data feed to go live with Google in the coming month. Real-time prediction arrivals for regional bus, light rail, and commuter rail will be available later this year and in 2017. Also in 2016, arrival predictions will be made available on existing public information displays (PIDs) at Table Mesa Station (PnR), Downtown Transit Station, and Boulder Junction at Depot Square Station.
City staff is working with RTD to integrate HOP real-time information into RTD's real-time information system. Until then, HOP real-time information is available at www.boulderbustracker.com or by downloading the CU Bus Tracker app for Apple or Android smart phone systems.
If you find issues with some local routes that you don't see the real time info for, please send the details to firstname.lastname@example.com and RTD will look at the issue and provide you with information related to the particular issue. You can learn more about RTD's real-time system at http://www.rtd-denver.com/mobile.shtml .

Each new Flatiron Flyer bus will comfortably seat 57 people and carry six to eight bikes, providing a frequent, reliable, and fast travel option between Boulder, Broomfield, Westminster, Denver, and points in-between. During the morning and afternoon rush hours, riders can expect a bus every 4 to 12 minutes, depending on the location.
One of the key advantages of riding the Flatiron Flyer is that these buses can travel in the U.S. 36 Express Lanes, in the general purpose lanes, or on the highway shoulder to pass slow-moving traffic, depending on stop locations and traffic congestion. Other passenger amenities, like ticket vending machines at the stations, will allow riders to pay for their bus fare before boarding and electronic screens will display schedule information.
For more information on the U.S. 36 BRT and Express Lanes, visit the Flatiron Flyer website
The new express bus service connecting Boulder, Longmont, Loveland and Fort Collins began in January 2016. Transfort, the city of Fort Collins' transit department, operates the year-round, Monday through Friday service. The new branch of the FLEX route is made possible by a grant from the Denver Regional Council of Governments received by Boulder County.

The Supreme Court today announced that it will hear several cases involving the accommodation for religious nonprofits seeking to opt out of the Affordable Care Act's contraception coverage requirement. This is not a surprise; as People For the American Way Foundation wrote in its Supreme Court 2015-2016 Term Preview: Under the accommodation, the employers simply tell the insurer or the federal government of their objection, at which point the insurer must offer the coverage separately to employees who want it. This way, the employees can get the coverage without their... MORE

Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump, who previously endorsed single-payer universal health care but has since retreated to vague and bombastic descriptions of a "terrific" replacement for Obamacare, is planning on releasing a more detailed health care plan soon and joined Iowa talk radio host Simon Conway yesterday to discuss it. Trump's description of his plan lacked details, but, of course, centered on the great "deals" that he would cut with health care providers, meaning that most people would choose private insurance because they would...

Phyllis Schlafly of Eagle Forum on Friday warned that the Obama administration has estimated that the average family will pay a minimum of $20,000 for health insurance once the health care reform law goes fully into effect. The only problem with Schlafly's claim is that the government never issued such an estimate. The IRS simply used the $20,000 figure as an example for calculating the "shared responsibility payment," or penalty, for a nonexempt family that does not acquire health insurance. As the Annenberg Center's FactCheck.org notes: The IRS used $20,000 in a... MORE

Washington Times columnist and Edmund Burke Institute president Jeffrey Kuhner doesn't seem too happy with the Supreme Court's decision to uphold the health care reform law, telling Janet Mefferd yesterday that the ruling "signals the end of our Constitutional republic as we know it" and "the end of traditional America as we know it." "We are now living in an age of a creeping, soft, socialist tyranny," Kuhner warned, even alleging that the government can potentially mandate that people stop "using toilet paper because it's bad for...

Rep. Tom Price (R-GA) appeared on WallBuilders Live today alongside hosts David Barton and Rick Green to discuss the Supreme Court's decision to uphold the health care reform law. The congressman maintained that the law "removes the very freedom and liberty that our founders fought for at its very core" and if it is implemented then America will no longer be "the America that you and I love" and that "our founders fought for." Price went on to cite a sham, Tea Party study heralded throughout conservative media, to claim that "around eighty... MORE

Musician and Mitt Romney backer Ted Nugent took to the Washington Times today to blast the Supreme Court, and Chief Justice John Roberts in particular, for upholding the "un-American, Constitution-violating" health care reform law. "Because our legislative, judicial and executive branches of government hold the 10th Amendment in contempt," Nugent writes, "I'm beginning to wonder if it would have been best had the South won the Civil War." Nugent, who was successfully courted by Mitt Romney in April, goes on to claim that the Supreme Court's... MORE

Today, the Supreme Court ruled that the Affordable Care Act, signed into law by President Obama in 2010, is constitutional.

He said it wasn't a tax. Obama lies; freedom dies. Tony Perkins of the Family Research Council: "Today's Supreme Court decision will do serious harm to American families.

The Roller Derby - Moundsville, WV - Phone: (304) 845-8898
An ice rink or an ice skating rink is a frozen body of water where people can skate or play different types of winter sports. Some of the other functions of a rink are playing ice hockey, figure skating, curling, exhibitions and contests, and ice shows. In Moundsville there are two types of rinks available, one is natural, where freezing occurs due to cold temperatures, and the other is artificial or mechanically-frozen, where a coolant produces cold in the surface below the water of the rink, causing it to freeze. In certain cases, rinks use synthetic ice where skating surfaces are made out of plastics.

Money laundering: Carson Yeung to hear appeal result
Birmingham City FC's former owner Carson Yeung will find out if his appeal against a money laundering sentence has been successful today.
A judge in Hong Kong is set to make a decision later.
Yeung was jailed for six years in March last year after being found guilty of five counts of money laundering between 2001 and 2007.

The 55-year-old was arrested and charged with money laundering two years later.

With the 24,136-acre Bison fire all but out, about 50 firefighters continue to rehabilitate and patrol the area, a far cry from the more than 1,000 assigned during the fire's peak on July 10.
As of Tuesday morning, six engines and two hand crews were still in the Pine Nuts, looking for hot spots, and making sure the fire stays out.
On Monday, management of the fire, called the largest recorded in Western Nevada history, was transferred to a lower echelon team.
According to officials, four firefighters were injured fighting the blaze, with two twisted knees, a twisted ankle and a person with breathing problems.
The $7,729,660 cost to fight the fire mostly went to pay for the more than a dozen tankers and helicopters.
Started by a lightning strike 3:30 p.m. July 4, the fire quickly grew out of control, prompting a call for the evacuation of 20 homes in the Pine Nut Creek area. Firefighters were making progress on July 6, when the fire was only 7,000 acres and 30 percent contained. Gusty southwest winds on July 7 pushed the fire through heavy piñon forest in Pine Nut Valley, and across the crest near Mount Siegel, the highest point between Carson and Smith valleys. The fire burned actively through the nights of July 6 and 7, jumping Sunrise Pass Road and burning down to Artesia Lake in Smith Valley.
Residents along Artesia Boulevard said they could see the flames both nights, and on July 9, they were asked to evacuate 78 homes after the fire threatened to burn through Pipeline Canyon and into the neighborhood.
Nearly 400 firefighters and a helicopter base were established in Smith Valley to fight the eastern flank, successfully stopping the fire.
Fire officials are asking that residents stay clear of the burned areas for the next few days while firefighters finish their work.
In Southern Nevada, Kyle Canyon residents and business owners are expected to be allowed back in today after the 27,881-acre Carpenter 1 fire reached 80 percent containment.
Firefighters hope to have the Carpenter fire contained by Friday, according to an update issued on Tuesday.

I plan on getting a pair. You say you are a 34, but in what brands, and what cuts? Not knowing the answer to those questions, I would say you would definitely be good in a 33 on either cut, and possibly even a 32 on the Natural Tapered.My waist is a true 32 and I plan on getting a 31 in the Natural Tapered.

Reviews for Sadie Nash Leadership Project
I started a non-profit in honor of the service by a philanthropist in my community named Thomas Colson Woody; T. Colson Woody was born and lived in Orange, New Jersey. He attended the Orange Public Schools and, except for his attendance at Virginia State College and New York University, he lived in Orange for his entire life. He was proprietor of the Woody Home for Services, a funeral home in Orange on Oakwood Avenue. Colson (as he was called), took over the funeral business started by his mother, Mary Colson Woody, whose business was located on Central Place. Mrs. Woody was the first female funeral director in the State of New Jersey.
Because the nature of the funeral business, Colson worked 24 hours a day, seven days per week (24/7) as a businessman in Orange, he contributed to a long list of causes. He even helped young businessmen studying for the mortuary business, helping them to set up businesses even if it meant competition. He was active in the Oakwood Branch of the YMCA, Boy Scouts, NAACP, and the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity. Additionally, he served on the Orange Planning Board and the Orange Board of Education.
He lived an exemplary life in Orange and this city is better for his having contributions to his life here.
The Mission of TCW is TCW is a non-profit organization based in Orange NJ. The TCW Orange Community Foundation is a not-for-profit organization committed to providing funding efforts that will enhance educational and community initiatives that best serve to improve the quality of life for the residents within the City of Orange Township, NJ.

Sadie Nash Leadership Project (SNLP) is an AMAZING non-profit. I started out as a teacher for their summer program and witnessed first-hand the transformation of dozens of young women from New York City's public schools over the course of a six-week summer leadership institute. Since then, the program now operates year-round and makes a meaningful impact in young women's lives. As a Board member now, it is a privilege to be part of an extremely dynamic and well-run organization (SNLP was awarded the New York Times prize for best managed non-profit last year).

I have visited Sadie Nash classes many times and I am always amazed and inspired by the work the young women do there and how the program transforms their lives. No other organization approaches leadership the way Sadie Nash does: by giving participants the tools and support they need to define leadership for themselves and then act as leaders within their own communities.

Comprehensive Renewable Energy, winner of a 2012 PROSE Award for Best Multi-volume Reference in Science from the Association of American Publishers, is the only work of its type at a time when renewable energy sources are seen increasingly as realistic alternatives to fossil fuels. As the majority of information published for the target audience is currently available via a wide range of journals, seeking relevant information (be that experimental, theoretical, and computational aspects of either a fundamental or applied nature) can be a time-consuming and complicated process.
Comprehensive Renewable Energy is arranged according to the most important themes in the field (photovoltaic technology; wind energy technology; fuel cells and hydrogen technology; biomass and biofuels production; hydropower applications; solar thermal systems: components and applications; geothermal energy; ocean energy), and as such users can feel confident that they will find all the relevant information in one place, with helpful cross-referencing between and within all the subject areas, to broaden their understanding and deepen their knowledge. It is an invaluable resource for teaching as well as in research.

text: you can go to http://static.dangdang.com/gm/topic/1240_15938.shtml or http://www.360buy.com/product/1002581044.htmlHi Judy, Hope all is well at Feihe, I live in Washingto DC in the USA. Recently, my two sister's two daughers both had a new dragon baby. Since all the milk problems in China, they asked me to buy baby milk power from USA. I did that for a few months now and I start to research on Chinese milk production companies and came across Feihe. I believe you are an exception to the bad Chinese milk reputation and begin to recommend your baby milk power to my sisters, but my sisters are telling me that your baby milk power is not available in 上海. Are you going to make your baby milk power available in 上海 in the near future ? Today, I get online at both 360buy.com and dangdang.com, trying to buy some of your baby milk products there and ship to 上海, but when I click on any of your products on both sites, I got "this product is currently sold out ". Is that because you only give limited amount to these online site so that you do not affend your retail partners ? or you are running out of inventory and hence could not provide more of your baby milk products to 360buy.com or dangdang.com. It would be really nice if I could just buy online and ship your products to my sisters monthly or quarterly.. Looking forward to your response. With the very best wishes Sincerely#########################some informational linkshttp://www.feihe.com/http://news.sina.com.cn/o/2011-08-04/102322933298.shtml

'Petrol' incident at welfare office
Published 26/10/2010
A social welfare office has been evacuated after a man doused a counter with a liquid thought to be petrol.
The 50-year-old walked into the office in Ballina, Co Mayo, and poured out the contents of the container.
The gardai and fire brigade were called and the man was taken into custody.
Barry Kennedy, regional manager for the western region, said nobody was injured in the incident.
"Obviously this is something that is very, very rare and it would be a frightening experience for anybody to see people pour a liquid like that across a counter," he said.
"There are no physical injuries and obviously the evacuation took place straightaway and the gardai and fire brigade were on the scene very quickly."
Mr Kennedy said the Department of Social Protection must await permission from the gardai and fire brigade before the office can be reopened.
It is not clear if there was a staff member dealing with the man when the incident occurred.
The man was being questioned under Section 4 of the Criminal Justice Act and can be held for up to 24 hours.
