DocuClub in July!
Our July DocuClub will take place on Wednesday, July 27, 7 p.m., at DCTV, located at 87 Lafayette (at Walker).
This month, we will screen a rough cut of Quel Souvenir by Danya Abt. In 2003, construction was completed on a pipeline that stretches a thousand kilometers from the oil fields of Chad to the beaches of Cameroon. Funded by oil giants Exxon, Chevron and Petronas, and politically insured by the World Bank, the Chad-Cameroon Oil Pipeline was a beacon of hope to the Chadian and Cameroonian people. It promised to spread prosperity and opportunity through some of the poorest communities in the world. *Quel Souvenir* follows the path of the Chad-Cameroon pipeline to witness its lasting effects, featuring the compelling individuals who live along its path. From the fishing ports of Kribi to oil installations of Doba, the stunning diversity of the landscape through which the pipeline passes reflects the many different Africans who live with it daily. Despite their differences, the communities along the pipeline speak with one voice to ask "If the land is so rich, why are we so poor?â€Â As the world looks increasingly to Sub-Saharan African to satisfy its thirst for oil, this timely film asks what is the human cost of this extraction, and how oil effects the struggle for survival, the fight for democracy and the dream of peace. To see a trailer, please go to: http://danyaabt.com/?p=95.
Director/Producer Danya Abt's desire to use film to create a more just and peaceful world has driven her from her native Detroit to the bayous of Louisiana and as far as the deserts of Central Africa. Her films have been featured at the MoMa in New York, the Detroit Institute of the Arts and a variety of community gathering places to generate dialogue and inspire social change. Most recently, Abt served as Senior Video Producer for GRITtv with Laura Flanders. Her work will be included as part of PBS syndication in the fall.
Our moderator will be Chi-hui Yang, a film programmer, lecturer and writer based in New York. As a guest curator, Yang has presented film and video series at film festivals and events internationally, including the 2011 MOMA Documentary Fortnight, 2008 Robert Flaherty Film Seminar ("The Age of Migrationâ€), Seattle International Film Festival, Washington D.C. International Film Festival and Barcelona Asian Film Festival. From 2000-2010, he was the Director and Programmer of the San Francisco International Asian American Film Festival, the largest showcase of its kind in the U.S. Yang is also the programmer of "Cinema Asian America,†a new On-Demand service offered by Comcast and currently a Visiting Scholar at NYU's Center for Media, Culture and History.
If you're planning to attend, please RSVP to email@example.com.
Admission at DCTV is free for current DocuClub members and $6 for non-members.
Tickets will be sold at the door, cash only.
Doors open at 6:30 p.m. No admittance after 7:30 p.m.

I am interested in transcribing audio interviews for anybody. I worked for Filmmaker Magazine, and have a lot of experience in transcribing interviews that ran anywhere from 10 minutes to nearly two hours. I am very astute, and would transcribe it all, then listen to it again to catch anything that slipped by me. My fee would be $2 a minute, so if the interview is 30 minutes, it would be $60. However, I am open to negotiations.
Please let me know if there is anything you need to be transcribed and would like my services.

Docs In Progress has two programs in Washington DC tonight and tomorrow...
Thursday: Documentary Appreciation Salon
at Modern Times Coffeehouse (Politics & Prose Bookstore)
"Documentary Film Legacy on Reality TV"
This salon series brings together filmmakers and documentary film aficionados to discuss and debate great issues in documentary cinema. Each salon will focus around a particular sub-genre of documentary and use clips from documentary films and questions from the moderator to spur reflection and discussion. This salon's topic will focus on how documentary has influenced and is influenced by "reality" television. Now an almost default setting for mainstream entertainment, Reality TV emerged in the early 1970s as a highly experimental and controversial mode of documentary expression. This salon focuses on Reality TV's intersections with different trends in documentary filmmaking, how the mode has shifted over the past four decades, and its current place in the broadcast industry. Groundbreaking programs such as PBS's An American Family (1973) will be central to the discussion. We are pleased to welcome guest facilitator, Josh Glick. He is a PhD candidate at Yale University in the departments of Film Studies and American Studies. His research and teaching interests are focused on the history and theory of American documentary film, Hollywood, and race and representation in popular media.
WHEN? Thursday, July 21 from 7:30-9:30 pm
WHERE? Modern Times Coffeehouse at Politics & Prose Bookstore (5015 Connecticut Avenue, NW Washington DC 20008)
FEE? This is a free program. We encourage you to purchase delicious food or drink from our sponsor, Modern Times Coffeehouse.
Seating is limited so we recommend you RSVP through this link.
Friday: Documentary Work-in-Progress Screening
at The Documentary Center at the George Washington University
Screening of Beth Murphy's THE LIST
Now in its seventh year, the Docs In Progress work-in-progress screenings provide an opportunity for local and visiting documentary filmmakers to screen their rough cuts to a general audience and get valuable feedback. Facilitators from Docs In Progress moderate a feedback session with the audience after the screening. This honest and constructive feedback is aimed at helping the filmmakers get to the next stage of completing and distributing the film. The next film to be screened is Beth Murphy's The List. The film follows Kirk Johnson who, after leading reconstruction teams for the U.S. government in Iraq, returns home only to discover that his Iraqi friends and colleagues are being killed, kidnapped or forced into exile by radical militias... all because they worked for the United States trying to help rebuild their country. Stunned by fear-mongering and stagnating bureaucracy that prevents these Iraqis from being rescued, Kirk begins compiling a list of these allies and, one by one, helps them find refuge and a new life in America.
This program is sponsored by The Documentary Center at the George Washington University.
WHEN? Friday, July 22 from 7:00-9:30 pm
WHERE? George Washington University Media and Public Affairs Building (805 21st Street, NW – Room 309 Washington DC 20052)
FEE? $10 suggested donation. Cash only at the door. No advance tickets or RSVPs.

In reply to Jon Fordham's post on Wed 13 Jul 2011 :
I had the privilege of taking Jon Fordham's seminar this evening and wanted to comment on it for those considering taking it.
I highly recommend taking it and feel that I learned a tremendous amount in a very short time. Jon and Evan were extremely detailed, thorough, and generous in their answers and explanations. We covered a wide arrange of topics, including post workflows for DSLR cameras, numerous codecs/formats and their specific limitations, preparing media for maximum usage and distribution (and not simply one function/outlet) as well as general media management-related topics at each stage of production.
Although the description outlines the topics that Jon and Evan (who also ran the seminar as well) covered, I was also asked ahead of time if I had particular postproduction workflow questions. I spoke on the phone with Evan and described the parameters of two ambitious projects that I have coming up in January.
I was very excited when I came in when I learned he had consulted several colleagues and had detailed information specific to my situation that was incredibly helpful and illuminating.
It is clear that both Jon and Evan are very excited about what they do and this definitely comes across in how they present material and respond to questions.
I have taken several other postproduction workshops in the past year on various topics and of varying quality, but this was one of the rare workshops that pushed away from the sort of Procrustean approach to technical aspects of filmmaking and postproduction.
I have also made a big effort to learn FCP more thoroughly as well as Avid and Premier (as several projects have required Premier) and this workshop definitely built on that knowledge and provided a deeper, much more nuanced understanding of concepts I thought I knew.
I can imagine that more seasoned postproduction professionals would benefit even more out of this workshop with Jon because of the his and Evan's breadth of experience and willingness to engage with a project's specific demands.
Thanks again Jon!

"Heist: Who Stole the American Dream?" is a documentary in the final phases of post production that investigates the roots of the current economic crisis, and the ongoing assault on working people in the United States. With clear, fact-based storytelling, "Heist" exposes the systemic, forty year corporate attack that has shattered America's economy through deregulation, the outsourcing of jobs and tax policies favoring businesses and the very wealthy. Co-directed by Berkeley filmmaker Donald Goldmacher, the film is swiftly being edited for festival screenings in the Fall, and outreach and distribution in 2011 and 2012.
The ideal candidate for this unique opportunity will be interested in documentary film, and passionate about economic, social and environmental justice with experience in social media, community organizing and/or marketing and promotion. We ask for a 5-10 hr/week commitment for the next three months. This is an opportunity to learn firsthand about "hybrid" distribution strategies for important, social action oriented documentaries.
Scope-of-Work: With guidance from producers, the intern will help build strategic alliances by researching and contacting organizations doing critical work in the field; help build contact and email lists; assist in IndieGoGo fundraising campaign; promote the project via blogs, Facebook, Twitter and other online networking sites to help us create a buzz about "Heist"; and assist producers in developing outreach and distribution plans. The goal with the film is to help audiences understand the underpinnings of the country's economic problems and demonstrate what everyday Americans can do to make a difference.
Compensation: Unpaid internship initially with the opportunity to grow into role as project builds.
Send resume, a brief cover letter with relevant experience and interest in the cause to: Jennifer Schmidt at firstname.lastname@example.com
Location: San Francisco but work can be done remotely for right candidate.
Thank you for your interest!

Brock lays out plans for health careBy PETER HIRSCHFELD
Vermont Press Bureau | September 09,2012
MONTPELIER When it comes to health care reform, Gov. Peter Shumlin and Republican challenger Randy Brock tout the same goal: deliver better insurance to more Vermonters for less money.
However, they could not be offering more divergent paths to get there.
On Thursday evening, in an email to thousands of supporters across the state, Brock finally unveiled his free-market alternative to the single-payer system favored by the Democratic incumbent.
The six-page document is purposefully vague, according to Brock, who says hell fine-tune his reform strategy once he has the resources of the executive branch at his disposal. In broad terms, he wants to apply the same principles to health care that he credits for affordability elsewhere in the consumer marketplace.
Every time I go to Costco or Best Buy, I look at the price of large-screen TVs, and every week theyre lower, Brock says. Thats what competition and choice do they make producers and suppliers of products compete for your business.
Even before he was inaugurated in January of 2010, Shumlin had already begun laying the groundwork for a first-in-the-nation single-payer system that uses public financing to ensure universal coverage. As Shumlin so often says, his approach views health care as a right, and not a privilege.
In much the same way government has assumed responsibility for public education, law enforcement and the construction of transportation infrastructure, Shumlins plan authorizes state bureaucracies to set system-wide budgets for health care, and then distribute those costs across the tax-paying population.
Brock calls it a wrongheaded approach that will lead to rationing through global budgets and discourage physicians and dentists from moving to Vermont. Of the 47,000 Vermonters without insurance, Brock says hes as committed as Shumlin to ensuring they get coverage.
But instead of increasing governments role in our health care decisions, what we want to do is reduce the number of people who are currently receiving government-sponsored health care by reducing the cost of that health care, to make it affordable for those who are priced out of the market, Brock says.
Brock eyes Maine legislation
While his plan is short on specifics, Brock has outlined some concrete policies, including some instituted in a controversial law passed last year in Maine. In the ideological battle over that legislation, the conservative allies of Republican Gov. Paul Lepage won out over more liberal lawmakers and advocacy groups. And Brock who hosted the Maine governor at a fundraiser earlier this summer would use some of cornerstones of that legislation in his recipe for overhaul here.
Among them are revisions to what is known as community rating, a mandate that forces insurance companies to fold very high-risk and very low-risk policyholders into the same risk pool.
Community rating aims to level out price points, meaning younger, healthier people pay higher premiums in order to make things more affordable for their older, higher-risk counterparts.
Under the federal Affordable Care Act, private insurers can charge a high-risk customer up to triple the amount a low-risk consumer would pay for the same policy. But a Vermont law, first instituted under Republican Gov. Richard Snelling in the early 1990s, requires strict 1-to-1 pricing ratios, meaning an 80-year-old man pays the same as his 20-year-old grandson for an equivalent policy, despite the fact hes more likely to incur more medical costs.
Brock says Vermonts rule requires healthier, young families with children and mortgages to subsidize the premiums of their older, sicker, but sometimes much wealthier parents.
By permitting age-based price variance, to the maximum allowable under federal law, Brock says, many of the families that now rely on programs like Catamount, VHAP and Dr. Dynasaur will suddenly be able to afford policies sold on the open market.
As for the resulting spike in premiums for older Vermonters, Brock says hed insulate them from harm through reinsurance, a mechanism that subsidizes the higher costs by assessing a small surcharge on all insurance policies.
Age-based premiums
Prior to the passage of what is known as PL90, Maine allowed age-based price variances of no greater than 1.5-to-1. Under the new statutory regime, insurers in the small-group market usually businesses with anywhere between one and 50 employees can now use a 2-to-1 ratio. The ratio will ratchet up to 3-to-1 over a period of years.
Joel Allumbaugh, director of the Center for Health Reform Initiatives at the Maine Heritage Policy Center, a group that championed PL90, said community rating, instituted in Maine in 1993, never achieved its intended effect.
There was an expectation that rates for younger folks would come up some and rates for older folks would come down some and wed have this happy medium, Allumbaugh says. What happened in reality was rates went up for everybody.
In the short time since more lenient community rating standards went into effect, Allumbaugh says, Maine policyholders are already beginning to enjoy the benefits.
We can compare two quarter-over-quarter comparisons now, from pre-PL90 to post-PL90, and were already starting to see a shift, Allumbaugh says.
Citing government data, Allumbaugh says that prior to the law taking effect, 97 percent of small groups saw increases in their annual policy premiums, and only 3 percent saw decreases.
And now weve increased the number of groups seeing decreases to 10 percent, Allumbaugh says. And thats a pretty significant swing, especially considering it was only the first adjustment (to the community rating ratio).
Mike Tipping, communications director at the Maine Peoples Alliance, an organization that fought PL90, says Allumbaughs statistics dont tell the whole story. While prices might have declined for some Mainers, others, according to Tipping, have been priced out of the market.
PL90 established a reinsurance pool much like the one proposed by Brock funded by a $4-per-month assessment on the premiums of every policyholder. But the approximately $22 million raised by the surcharge, Tipping says, hasnt come close to offsetting the impact on small-business owners who find themselves at the high end of private insurers risk-assessment formulas.
(Insurers) can discriminate now on age, geography, and type of business, and were seeing these huge increases for people all over the state, Tipping says.
Tipping is in the process of collecting horror stories from business owners, including an advertising firm in Bath that saw premiums jump by 67 percent, and a pizza parlor in Bar Harbor that is trying to absorb a 97 percent increase.
These are the kinds of things were hearing from everyone across the state, Tipping says. Were seeing jobs lost and businesses go under. Its really sad.
Proposal will evolve
Brock calls his health care proposal a living document.
And it will evolve, he says.
If the 3-to-1 community-rating ratio allowable under the ACA will inflict undue harm, Brock says, then Vermont can dial it back. Brock says one key benefit of his plan, which also borrows from concepts being implemented in places like Indiana and Florida, is that Vermont can see whether the provisions it contains are working elsewhere.
One of the advantages of using an approach like mine, that is incremental, that deals with individual, discreet cost drivers, and that mirrors what somebody has done somewhere else, is you can see: does it work or does it not work? Does this need to be tweaked or adjusted? Brock says.
Shumlins single-payer plan, by contrast, constitutes an all-or-nothing wager from which Vermont cannot retreat, according to Brock.
Shumlins campaign manager, Alex MacLean, says Brocks proposal is a regressive plan that would raise the cost of health care by up to 300 percent, increase the number of uninsured and give yet more profits to insurance companies.
Twenty-one years ago, Republicans and Democrats attempted to bring fairness to a broken system in which insurance companies denied coverage to the sick and offered unaffordable plans to the elderly and those with pre-existing conditions in order to increase their own profits, MacLean says. This is the system that Randy Brock has proposed Vermont return to.
Brock says its disingenuous for Shumlin to criticize his plan when he has yet to tell Vermonters how hell pay for his own.

Vt. Health Dept. finds EEE in Milton mosquito poolSeptember 17,2013The Associated Press
BURLINGTON - The Vermont Health Department says the Eastern Equine Encephalitis virus has been found in a mosquito pool in Milton, the first time the virus has been detected in Chittenden County.
The Health Department says additional EEE samples also came from Cornwall and Brandon.
Epidemiologist Erica Berl says the positive Milton sample should serve as a reminder that people across Vermont should continue to take actions to avoid mosquito bites.
She says the risk won't be gone until there has been widespread, hard frost.
Earlier this month, officials reported EEE killed two horses in Franklin County. Last year two people died of EEE, the state's first human cases.
Officials say the only way to protect against the disease is to avoid mosquito bites.MORE IN This Just In

Camera bag is an app that lets you apply several different filters to the pictures you take with your iPhone's camera. It's like carrying around a bag of lenses without the neck, back and shoulder pain.
There are seven filter options to choose from. I will go over each one.
Helga makes your picture look like it's an old movie still, blurring the edges and brightening the center of the shot, while Cinema crops your photo into a widescreen format for a more modern look.
Lolo again goes old-school, increasing the image's contrast and making it grainy, like an old Polaroid, complete with the bright white, square-shaped frame. Ansel makes your photo black and white and gives it a white border, perfect for those dreamy nature shots.
Next there are the year applications, named for the era they represent. 1962 ratchets down the contrast and the brightness of the photo, similar to an image in the newspaper, while 1974 takes on more of a sepia tone, giving your pic a retro look.
Lastly, there is Infrared. It makes your image look like it could have been taken with a heat-seeking lens.
You don't have to choose between the options. You can use view all of them on the same photo simply by moving your finger from side to side on the screen to see each format. Choose one or more to save or delete them all if you wish. If you're usually proud of your work, you can set up autosave to keep all your images automatically.
I really enjoyed using this application, as did my friend who is a PhotoShop whiz. It's great for any photography buff, no matter what his or her skill level.

Following in the message of peace that Martin Luther King Jr. stood for, 6,000 people are needed to create the world's largest human peace sign at Kapiolani Park on Monday.
It's more than a project for the man behind the effort, it's become personal. Eric Butler says in the year since he began planning for the record, the project has taken on a life of its own.
"It just started out to be a fun thing," said Butler. "A lot of people are just going to show up so I have absolutely no idea how many people are actually really going to show up,"
Butler is planning on creating the world's largest human peace sign using the large field at Kapiolani Park. The current record is held by 5,814 people in Ithaca, New York. Butler is aiming for 6,000 peace-loving bodies to gather at the park at noon Monday.
"That's more of what it is all about. Each individual standing up here is actually standing up for world peace," said Butler.
Butler and his non-profit organization, World Peace Plan, sees this as a launching pad for bigger plans to raise global consciousness about peace - creating a human peace sign in India next, then Japan, Rio, Morocco, eventually Gaza.
Butler said the recent shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School seems to have triggered an emotional appeal for peace for many. He said he's seen a surge in support since then.
"It's time for world peace," said Butler.
And he's inviting everyone who comes to view tomorrow's Martin Luther King Jr. Day Parade to follow the final float to Kapiolani Park.
The plan is to have people gather starting at 11am. A helicopter will take the aerial photo at noon.
It takes the Guinness officials anywhere from three weeks to three months to confirm a world record. Whether or not a record is broken, Butler hopes to make a statement of peace.

Don't you admire the courage and adventurousness our pioneer ancestors showed, wherever they were. You captured their story so well. I hope your writing projects are progressing smoothly.ReplyDelete
Beautifully done, as always. Keep telling stories, you are so good at it!.ReplyDelete
Pauleen and Carol, so glad you liked my little bit about the wanderers --- "a wandereing man" and "the wanderers" are phrases that have floated in and about the workings of my mind of late.ReplyDelete
Thanks again for reading and commenting.
Very nicely done, Joan! I'm so glad you took up the challenge. It's probably the most difficult (for most people) topic I've chosen for the COG. As usual, your words flowed almost melodically. A pleasure to read. Thanks for participating in the COG!ReplyDelete
thank you for the kind words. I loved the topic, but wish I had gotten started earlier as I would have done a flash history for each of my mothers parents as well. Keep us on our toes, Jasia. It's good for us.
You told a great story; love the use of the "wandering" theme.
Also, thanks for the comment

Many canines will be chasing toys, eating peanut butter and running throughout Deicke Park on Saturday for Dog-tober Fest, an annual event for dog lovers.
The fourth annual Dog-tober Fest features numerous dog-related activities for man's best friend and their owners, including flyball, canine agility and disc dogging. The dogs also can participate in contests, like the peanut butter eating competition, and receive a formal blessing from Michelle McNamara, a reverend from St. John's UCC Church in Marengo.
Dog owners can enter into raffles and win numerous prizes. The proceeds go to a local animal rescue, shelter or humane organization that is picked randomly at the end of the fest.
The event is free and will feature more than 50 animal shelters, pet retailers and pet food vendors. The fest drew nearly 500 people last year.

Okra is extremely intolerant of cold. Start indoors 6-8 weeks before last frost and transplant outdoors after all threat of frost has passed. Some gardeners give okra a heat boost by covering it with row cover until it produces flowers. Okra can thrive in moderate soils. Keep watered, but allow to dry out between waterings. Harvest pods while still tender, up to 5-6" in length.

What If Romney Had Backed Auto Bailouts?
TOLEDO, OHIO ( TheStreet) -- Poor Mitt Romney. Getting on the wrong side of the auto industry bailout debate may have kept this son of Detroit from the presidency.
We have heard so often in these last few months that Ohio is the key to Tuesday's election. We will likely hear it even more tonight. Ohio, Ohio, Ohio. Sick of it, yes, but sometimes I wish I had never left The Toledo Blade . It's always fun to be right in the middle of a big story.
It seems that Romney is destined to lose Ohio, an auto industry state, by a small enough number of votes that he might have won if he had backed the obviously successful Chrysler and GM (GM) bailouts. If Romney ends up close to Obama in Michigan, than the same logic applies there.
Among the advantages of supporting the bailout, Romney might never have been forced into his widely disparaged misstatements that Chrysler considered moving Jeep production from Toledo to China. This was a lie in which Romney got caught. It seemed to underscore his desperation to gain support in an auto industry state.
A far better course would have been to back the bailout. As a self-professed "car guy," a Detroit native and the son of an auto executive, this would not have been a big reach. Obviously, Romney had renounced many past positions in order to gain right-wing Republican support, then moved to the middle once the primaries ended. Perhaps the Tea party would have given him a pass on this single issue had he made the point that he didn't like everything about the way the bailouts were structured, but that in the end America's pride in its auto industry is something that unifies all of us.
Perhaps, to separate himself from Obama, Romney might have made the case that in the GM bankruptcy the Obama administration had to rewrite long-standing bankruptcy practices on repaying secured bondholders and offering tax-loss carry-forwards to successor companies. In the past, tax losses were passed on only to companies whose owners controlled at least 50% of the predecessor company, said Jeffrey Coyne, senior lecturing fellow at the Duke University School of Law and a management consultant who specializes in reorganizing troubled companies.
To look back at Romney's New York Times November op-ed piece famously headlined, "Let Detroit Go Bankrupt," is to make Romney-backers wonder what might have been.
Based on the headline, Romney was prescient. When he wrote his piece, many in the auto industry believed bankruptcy would scare off so many buyers that any automaker that filed would destroy itself. Yet within five months after Romney's column appeared, Chrysler filed for bankruptcy, and within seven months, GM filed. These bankruptcies saved both companies,

As people age, many changes happen to their body, including their eyes and ears. Find out what you can expect to happen to your vision and hearing.
What's happening
With age, you might have difficulty focusing on objects that are close up. You might become more sensitive to glare and have trouble adapting to different levels of light. Aging also can affect your eye's lens, causing clouded vision (cataracts).
Your hearing also might dim. You might have difficulty hearing high frequencies or following a conversation in a crowded room.
What you can do
To promote eye and ear health:
- Schedule regular checkups. Follow your doctor's advice about glasses, contact lenses, hearing aids and other corrective devices.
Take precautions. Wear sunglasses or a wide-brimmed hat when you're outdoors, and use earplugs when you're around loud machinery or other loud noises.

By Bob Huber: PNT Columnist
When I was a kid, schools shut down each June to give enterprising students a chance to get rich. Taking into account the prevailing economy at the time — a nickel bought a Coke which included a two-cent rebate for the bottle, if you could find a nickel — whenever I hear someone talk about those good old days, I get the galloping glurks.
Amidst these economic foibles, a few enterprising grownups temporarily panned gold on the banks of the creek that ran through my Colorado hometown. Jobs were nonexistent, but a willing entrepreneur could make $l5 a week by cashing in his gold dust at Tierney's Jewelry.
Toss into this economic mayhem half a dozen enterprising guys turned loose for the summer without advice from their depression weary parents and you were likely to hear someone say, "Hey, let's pan gold in Clear Creek and strike it rich."
(Milling around in our youthful minds were smatterings of Saturday matinee movies where someone was always yelling, "Gold! Gold! Drinks for everyone!")
The upshot was, on a hot day in June we dragged a homemade sluice box, shovels, and a couple dishpans down to Clear Creek and staked out a claim on a sandbar below the WPA Bridge. We called our venture the Colorado Mining and Pirate Brigade, and we ran up a skull and crossbones banner on a tall willow to ward off snoopy sisters.
The first day two guys shoveled, two sluiced, and two panned, but by the second day only my friend Smooth Heine and I remained on the claim. Everyone else recalled prior commitments like piano lessons or lawns that needed mowing.
By the end of the week, Smooth and I had blistered hands and aching backs. But we also had a test tube full of gold dust. ("Gold! Gold! Drinks for everyone!")
That evening we weighed our cache on my mother's baby chick scale, cheering when the needle hit the one-ounce mark. We pictured ourselves on the front page of the local paper under the headline: "BOYS BUY BANK."
So Smooth and I took our test tube into Tierney's Jewelry Store where the ancient proprietor looked over his glasses and said, "Sell me what?" We handed over our gold dust, and without a word he poured the contents into a tiny pan and covered it with a small amount of mercury. "How long you boys been working down there?" he asked.
"A whole week," we sighed, rubbing our backs. Mr. Tierney stroked his chin.
We pointed at the gold. "How much is it worth?"
"When I pour off the mercury, we'll find out," he said. A moment later he said, "Looks like about a dollar's worth."
"Is that all?" we cried.
"Well, I could maybe go five cents more," Mr. Tierney said. "Not much value to gold since Mr. Roosevelt took over."
As we walked gloomily out of the store with the $1.05 in our pockets, I glanced back in time to see the old man brush the remnants of our gold into the trash and shake his head, a smile on his lips. His wife wagged a finger at him, but he just kept grinning.
On that long ago summer day I calculated that Mr. Tierney was a member of a secret fraternity whose fellows pledged to provide soda pop funds for young guys of sterling character. So taking his cue, we rounded up our fair-weather friends and, with a flourish reminiscent of Douglas Fairbanks, shouted, "Gold! Gold! Drinks for everyone."
I don't recall how we spent the spare change. Whatever, we didn't buy the bank.

A Colorado judge ruled Thursday that probable cause exists in the case of James Holmes, accused of killing 12 people and wounding scores more in last summer's shooting inside an Aurora movie theater, and ordered that he stand trial.
Arapahoe County District Judge William Blair Sylvester, who ordered that Holmes be held without bail, converted a status hearing scheduled for Friday to an arraignment.
In his 61-page ruling, Sylvester said the prosecution had established probable cause in all 166 counts, including first-degree murder.
A defense request for a continuance of the arraignment will be taken up Friday, a court administrator said.
The 25-year-old former doctoral student in neuroscience at the University of Colorado, Denver, faces 166 charges, including murder, attempted murder and weapons offenses, tied to the July 20 rampage during a screening of "Batman: The Dark Knight Rises."
Sylvester's decision came after a three-day hearing this week in which prosecutors presented evidence against Holmes.
"He didn't care who he killed," prosecutor Karen Pearson told the judge at the conclusion of her case against Holmes, saying he chose his venue carefully to cage his victims. "He intended to kill them all."
The shootings killed 12 and wounded 58.
Defense attorneys, who had been expected to call witnesses and argue a diminished capacity defense, changed their minds during the hearing, attorney Dan King said.
"We have had a change of position," he said. "This is neither the proper venue nor the time to put on a show or present some truncated defense."
After the hearing, some of the victims' relatives asserted that Holmes was too calculating to be afflicted with diminished capacity.
"He's not crazy one bit," Tom Teves told reporters Wednesday. His son Alex, 24, was among those killed.
"He's very, very cold. He's very, very calculated," Teves said of Holmes. "He has a brain set that no one here can understand, and we want to call him crazy because we want to make that feel better in our society.
"But we have to accept the fact there is evil people in our society that enjoy killing any type of living thing. That doesn't make him crazy," Teves said.
Added Jessica Watts, cousin of Jonathan Blunk, also killed in the theater: "It was complete planning. It was competency. It was everything on his part to make sure that this act was carried out from start to finish."
According to hearing testimony, here is what is known about his alleged preparations:
Getting ready
Holmes began buying guns in May, supervisory agent Steve Beggs of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives testified on Tuesday. Beggs said Holmes built an arsenal of two Glock handguns, an AR-15 rifle, a shotgun and 6,295 rounds of ammunition.
Among other purchases, Beggs said Holmes bought two 6-ounce tear gas grenades over the Internet on May 10 and he went to a gun store on May 22 to buy one of his Glocks.
A little more than a month later, on July 1, a video camera captured Holmes as he bought a scope, a mount and some inert ammunition at a Colorado gun store, Beggs said.
In the video, Beggs said, Holmes' hair is dyed bright orange.
A police detective testified that Holmes apparently visited the cinema and took photographs of hallways and doors several times before the shootings.
The photographs were recovered from Holmes' cell phone and go along with months of sales records and descriptions of meticulously prepared booby traps at his home. It all helps illustrate what would appear to be a well-planned attack.
On July 7, Holmes used an online ticketing service to buy a ticket for the midnight showing of the movie, according to Detective Craig Appel, the lead investigator in the case.

"We personalized our invitations to have a navy background and also to include a wedding email address for RSVP and our wedding website. These changes were made quickly and we had our invitations to us in two days once approved. Great quality and customer service. Thank you!!"
"I was nervous about buying invitations from an overseas company. But I couldn't be more impressed! They arrived exactly on the estimated date of arrival, which for something being shipped overseas is extremely impressive. I just fell in love with the design and the qaulity of the card and print were just perfect! Would highly recommend wedding paper divas any day!!"
"This invitation not only looked great, it felt great! The card stock had a nice thickness to it where it felt like good quality. The printing and colors were great and came out exactly as the online proof looked. Shipping was fast - I even got it faster than expected!"
"I got this card in Maple and Chambord and added on gold envelopes. My wedding colours are wine and gold and this went perfectly, the gold envelopes added that extra touch and made the maple on the card seem gold. I was hesitant to order these because of the estimated shipping time and I was in a bit of a time pinch but they were so beautiful and I could not find anything locally that compared. My cards were send to me about a week early which was a great surprise and stress reliever. My one bit of advice for anyone ordering cards is to order extra envelopes! I made a mistake on sealing a few before I had added everything in, it turned out alright in the end but save yourself some stress and order a few extra. I will definitely be getting my wedding invites and other stationary from wedding paper divas."
"The invitations were perfect! I threw a party for some friends getting married and these were the perfect mix of elegant yet casual. The editing was fast and easy! Thanks so much!"

Congratulations on getting Panga home at last and on her weight check! But I would not call her breastfeeding (BF) a nursing strike -- I would call it very typical post-NICU-discharge behavior. She is making a huge transition from NICU environment to home -- you all are. And she's had lots more oral experiences than the average 39-40 week term baby. I know few (if any) preterms who came home fully BF -- it usually took a few weeks beyond full term due date. There is no "must be fully BF by..." date on babies. Some need more time than others to learn, but virtually all need some time. You and she have really been doing pretty darn well!
Panga will know when she is ready. Let her lead the way via baby-led latching. Don't place pressure on her or yourself about BF. Consider all BF as "practice" -- she'll let you know when she's ready to move from practice to proficient. In my more recent experiences helping moms of premies, almost all transitioned to BF via kangaroo care (mother-baby skin-to-skin contact) prior to feeding time. Since she needs to be held almost nonstop, try to do this skin-to-skin as much as possible. I'm including a couple of links to info re: baby-led latch via skin-to-skin contact and a couple of sites for clothing that allow one to kangaroo while getting about one's business...
Baby-led latch:
KangarooCare Clothing:
KangaCarrier http://www.kangaroomothercare.com/Ka...r_brochure.pdf or http://www.kangaroomothercare.com/story01ad.htm
Hang in... Celebrate how far you and Penga have come. Live in the moment and know things can get better... And as hard as it may be, keep up with regular pumping at least 8x per 24 hours until Penga begins BF (removing milk) effectively.

- A new formation model for M32: a threshed early-type spiral galaxy?
- Author(s)
- Bekki, Kenji; Couch, Warrick J.; Drinkwater, Michael J.; Gregg, Michael D.
- Abstract
- The origin of M32, the closest compact elliptical galaxy (cE), is a long-standing puzzle of galaxy formation in the Local Group. Our N-body/smoothed particle hydrodynamics simulations suggest a new scenario in which the strong tidal field of M31 can transform a spiral galaxy into a compact elliptical galaxy. As a low-luminosity spiral galaxy plunges into the central region of M31, most of the outer stellar and gaseous components of its disk are dramatically stripped as a result of M31's tidal field. The central bulge component, on the other hand, is just weakly influenced by the tidal field, owing to its compact configuration, and retains its morphology. M31's strong tidal field also induces rapid gas transfer to the central region, triggers a nuclear starburst, and consequently forms the central high-density and more metal-rich stellar populations with relatively young ages. Thus, in this scenario, M32 was previously the bulge of a spiral galaxy tidally interacting with M31 several gigayears ago. Furthermore, we suggest that cE's like M32 are rare, the result of both the rather narrow parameter space for tidal interactions that morphologically transform spiral galaxies into cE's and the very short timescale (less than a few times 109 yr) for cE's to be swallowed by their giant host galaxies (via dynamical friction) after their formation.
