Name not on the invite, but 99% sure I am invited to the wedding...
So, live-in boyfriend of three years brother is getting married in September. We live in a different state from him and they're not particularly close, so I've only met his brother a few times and his fiancée once, but I'm on friendly terms with the family (I spend Christmas with them, etc). Boyfriend probably talks to his brother about every 6 months. [more inside]
Big plate of 'party invite etiquette' beans
Is it polite to invite person A at the last minute to a party (in this case, my darling SO's birthday celebration)? I am feeling somewhat anxious about this occasion already and don't want to offend or exclude anyone. I know this is only a big deal in my own mind, and probably in no-one else's, but it is one of a couple of minor things I am feeling a bit stressed about as the day approaches. [more inside]
How to word a party invitation without sounding tacky?
My husband mentioned to me some years ago that he'd never had an actual, cake-and-candles, friends from the neighborhood invited, hats and horns birthday party in his entire life. I'd like to give him a small surprise birthday party for his upcoming birthday in late March, but I have questions about how to actually word the invitations. [more inside]

I want to hang out with my friend!
I invited a friend to go to an event, and then she invited her boyfriend and other friends. I don't really want to hang out with her other friends! What do I do now? [more inside]
Wedding Invitation Etiquette
Wedding Invitation Etiquette - my husband and I are hosting and paying for my stepdaughter's wedding and she has just ordered the invitations without involving us in any way - shouldn't the invitations be sent from the hosts - her father and I? I'm not concerned about the style or cost but I thought we would have the honor of extending the invitations or at least reviewing the contents before they are sent out. Or am I being hopelessly old-fashioned? Thoughts?
Oh baby, did I just blow it?
Are baby showers, by default, supposed to be surprises? [more inside]
How to word the invitation for a Happy Hour that's (partially) in honor of those being laid off?
Some of my coworkers are being laid off. I'd like to send out an invitation to a Happy Hour so we have a chance to get together informally before "the end". How do I word the invitation? [more inside]

Replying to a formal invitation
So, I've been invited to a party at my country's embassy later this week. The formal invitation asks me to RSVP, but I don't do this sort of thing very often, and I've got no idea what the right protocol for a response is. Anyone got any idea?
Addressing wedding invitations...
How rude is it really to use a printer and a nice calligraphy or script font to print addresses on wedding invitation envelopes? [more inside]
Wedding Reception Invitation Wording
We're getting married in June at the courthouse. Our parents, and anyone else who's around and wants to go, is welcome to come along but we're not formally inviting anyone. We are, however inviting people to the reception, and I have questions about what the invitations should say. [more inside]
Does etiquette demand hand addressing wedding invitations?
EtiquetteFilter. Specifically, I'm interested in wedding invitation etiquette. Even more specifically, I'm interested in the proper etiquette for addressing wedding invitations. No, not the proper wording, because I've found that ... I really just want to know: Do we have to address all of these things by hand?

2012 Orlando Magic Rulebook – Appendix A
"Without change there is no innovation, creativity, or incentive for improvement. Those who initiate change will have a better opportunity to manage the change that is inevitable." -William Pollard
The Orlando Magic are nearly a third of the way through the season and the results so far have been mixed. Despite playing just 28 games (17-11), the Magic have somehow played such up and down (most recently very down) basketball that they have almost silenced the trade rumors that should be engulfing this team.
Being the solutions oriented guy that I am, I have developed a new set of guidelines for Stan Van Gundy to institute into his coaching philosophy. This team needs incentives and to get there, you have to move past the traditional basketball paradigms.
If Stan wants to turn his team around, all he has to do is follow this one easy solution. If he trusts in the system and implements the below Rulebook Appendix, I will personally guarantee that things will not get any less hopeful for the future than they are today.
2012 Orlando Magic Rulebook – Appendix A
- Any player that passes the ball to Glen "Big Baby" Davis with 6 or less seconds remaining on the shot clock will be immediately substituted for upon the next stoppage of play.
- Following a time-out, any player that takes a fade-away off-balanced three pointer at any point in the possession, regardless of shot clock, shall receive an automatic one game suspension.
- Any player who is found to have consecutively dribbled the ball for longer than 12 seconds and does not pass the 3-point line on a single possession shall be benched for the next two quarters.
- Any player whose turnovers exceed points scored at halftime will be prohibited from returning to the court in the second half.
- Any player that publicly proclaims that they played harder than usual because of fan "heckling" will receive 14 pats on the back upon the ending of the game. However, the player shall also be required to answer Otis Smith's Golden State Warrior hot line for the week leading up to the trade deadline.
- In the event that not enough players are eligible to participate in the game due to suspensions, the Orlando Magic Coach has the right to choose one body from the following pool of available choices: Jason Williams, Nick Anderson, Bo Outlaw, Jeff Turner or Adonal Foyle.
- Any player who misses ten or more free throws throughout the span of a single game shall be unilaterally signed to a 5-year maximum salary contract and forfeits all rights to challenge, review or reject.
- If any member of the Orlando Magic coaching staff complains about the level of energy displayed from the regular rotation in a given game, but does not give minutes to anyone outside of the rotation, that coach will be replaced for the first quarter of the following game by a blogger to be named later.
- Any player that publicly complains about coaching decisions or the play of their teammates after a win will be required to read and report on each and every one of Pat Williams 71 books on leadership .
- After each game, the player who led the team in careless plays (non-basketball turnovers, bad shots, low energy etc.) will be required to display a life sized FatHead of Zaza Pachulia in their locker until the following game. In the event that no player has earned this punishment, then the Pachulia FatHead will be displayed in the vacant locker previously held by Vince Carter.
Fool proof.

I would also add that any player who makes a stronger contribution to the team while on the bench (I.e. celebrations, cheerleading) is relocated to that position for the last 5 minutes of each quarter

Brilliant addition Wilkescd. Love it.

You also forgot "If your name contains any version of the word "Duhon" then you are immediately never allowed to play in any game….ever…."
February 13, 2012
Any player named Hedo Turkoglu or Glenn "Big Baby" Davis is required to attend all AA meetings in the Orlando area. This is because they are the main cause of alcoholism in Orlando.
Johngreenspan permalinkFebruary 13, 2012
Any player caught holding the ball while the shot clock expires must play "hot potato" with elementary schoolchildren the following day.

Press Release
May 17, 2011
Pew Center Contact: Tom Steinfeldt, 703-516-4146
The Climate Registry Contact: Alex Carr, 778-340-8837
Association of Climate Change Officers Contact: Daniel Kreeger, 202-496-7390
The Climate Registry, Pew Center on Global Climate Change and the Association of Climate Change Officers Announce Partnership with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to Jointly Administer New National Climate Awards Program
Washington, DC – Today The Climate Registry (The Registry), the Pew Center on Global Climate Change (Pew Center) and the Association of Climate Change Officers (ACCO) announced that they will jointly sponsor a new national awards program with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to recognize exemplary corporate, organizational and individual leadership in response to climate change.
By showcasing voluntary action on climate and energy under a unified banner, EPA, The Registry, Pew Center and ACCO are sending a strong signal that innovative and sustained leadership in greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) management will be recognized in the United States.
"The co-sponsorship of this new recognition opportunity reflects EPA's commitment to reducing greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs) and recognizing leadership on climate change," said EPA Assistant Administrator Gina McCarthy. "We are pleased to be partnering with three non-profit organizations that have demonstrated expertise in GHG emissions management."
An event to honor award recipients will be held in early 2012. Specific award categories will include:
These award categories provide a legacy for EPA's Climate Leaders program, which provided support to private sector corporations who voluntarily set and achieved greenhouse gas reduction targets, and ACCO's Climate Leadership Awards, which recognized exemplary leadership by organizations in industry, government, academia and the non-profit community.
"Corporate leadership is essential to advancing climate and energy solutions," said Eileen Claussen, President of the Pew Center on Global Climate Change. "In growing numbers, companies and their employees are working tirelessly in pursuit of cost-effective solutions that reduce carbon and benefit consumers. Recognizing these great accomplishments serves to motivate and accelerate efforts throughout the business community toward a cleaner, more efficient energy future."
"The Climate Registry is delighted to partner with EPA, the Pew Center and ACCO on this important program, which will build on the work of Climate Leaders as well as our own carbon management program," said Denise Sheehan, Executive Director of The Climate Registry. "Together we look forward to continuing to provide the tools, resources and recognition that organizations need to take their climate and carbon leadership to the next level."
"Amongst ACCO's primary missions is bringing together climate executives from across sectors to collaborate and establish best practices," said Daniel Kreeger, ACCO's Executive Director. "We look forward to undertaking such a timely and important effort with our partners - The Climate Registry and the Pew Center - who have been on the cutting edge of climate response, and of course EPA, whose Climate Protection Awards inspired ACCO's 2010 Climate Leadership Awards program and whose Climate Leaders program has been so instrumental in driving climate response."
More information is available online at www.epa.gov/climateleaders [1]. Additional information on the award categories and nomination process will be made publicly available in the next few weeks.

A frak-load went down in Battlestar Galatica's revelatory third season, but none went through more than rough-edged warriors Col. Saul Tigh (Michael Hogan) and Capt. Kara "Starbuck" Thrace (Katee Sackhoff). Tigh lost an eye and killed his Cylon-collaborating wife, only to discover that — oops! — he's a toaster too. And Starbuck, well, she died — only to pop up in her fighter next to Capt. Lee Adama (Jamie Bamber) in the season finale.
So, for this EW 100 online extra, we jumped on the phone with Hogan, 58, and Sackhoff, 27, in celebration of the momentous season — mere days, it turned out, before the announcement that the fourth season of Battlestar, launching Jan. 2008, would be the show's last. In a quick follow-up the day after the news broke, both actors said that they weren't surprised by the announcement — it had been on-set scuttlebutt for months, explains Hogan, but "when you hear it announced officially, you go, Whoa, OK, they're serious." Still, he says, "it would be good to finish while it's hot." Sackhoff agrees, and she's excited for what's ahead: "I can imagine now, knowing that this is our last year, that it's going to be such a tremendously amazing, action-packed season." She adds, "I think by the end of this season, Kara Thrace will have said everything she needed to say." Wait, so does that mean Starbuck's alive?! Read on and see for yourself…
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Let's start at the end — last season's finale was quite the humdinger. How did you two react when you first got the script?
MICHAEL HOGAN: Disbelief. I couldn't believe it. And I still can't believe it. That was my reaction to it.
KATEE SACKHOFF: I think everyone was pretty shocked. My feeling was that it made sense that the four [final Cylons] were all aligned with a person in power who could individually take down the fleet if they wanted to. Col. Tigh's with Adama, Tori's with the president, Tyrol controls the ship, and Anders is with, you know, Starbuck.
Speaking of that, Katee, do you know what the heck Starbuck is?
HOGAN: [Chuckles]
SACKHOFF: No. And even if I did, I couldn't tell you. I have no idea what she is. I have no idea if I'm alive or if I'm dead.
Can you at least confirm if you're, you know, corporeal? That you're not just a figment of poor Apollo's mind?
SACKHOFF: Well, I do know that I am [corporeal]. Not a figment. And if I am, I'm a figment of everyone's imagination.
Michael, had you ever thought that Tigh would be a Cylon?
HOGAN: Never. Never at all. Someone told me that there was a survey on the Net and that Tigh was the second lowest of everyone ever involved in Battlestar Galactica [suspected] of being a Cylon.
How are you managing that?
HOGAN: Well, I haven't had to manage it yet, because we're [shooting] the flashback movie, but it hasn't been that much of a problem yet because Tigh doesn't believe [he's a Cylon]. He doesn't know what's going on. And Hogan's not convinced that he's a Cylon.
SACKHOFF: [Cackles] I love it. I love that you can justify anything on a sci-fi show.
The use of a remixed version of Bob Dylan's "All Along the Watchtower" in the finale was also pretty striking.
SACKHOFF: I couldn't believe they got the rights.
HOGAN: Neither could I. I've been very affected by that song since it first came out, so it's very spooky that that's the one they used.
Michael, did you know that's what you were hearing when you were hearing the ship "sing"?
HOGAN: Yes. Tigh wouldn't know that that's "All Along the Watchtower," but yeah. We did know that that's what it was. Now whether they were going to actually get the rights to it, and we were going to use it, was another issue.
NEXT PAGE: "When you said that, I felt flattered. I was like, 'Oh, that's so sweet.' And then I was like, 'Wait a minute, he's talking about Starbuck."'

A Bee County grand jury indicted Matias Treviño on two counts of first-degree felony charges of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.
Treviño faces possible prison sentences of from five to 99 years or life and fines of as much as $10,000 for each of the two offenses if he is convicted in district court here.
"It's an old case," said Sgt. Richard Cantu this week. The incident started at about 6:15 p.m. on March 11, 2008, when Sgt. Stephen Phipps was sent to a domestic disturbance in the 1400 block of West Stamper Street.
The officer met a woman who said her husband was cursing her and she wanted him to leave.
Phipps walked into the back yard where he encountered Treviño.
"I'm not doing anything wrong," Treviño reportedly said and he told Phipps he was on his own property and had no intention of leaving.
Cantu said at one point Treviño yelled at his wife and threatened to kick in the back door and get back inside the house.
By that time, Phipps had called for a backup officer and Patrolman Jason Alvarez arrived at the scene.
When Treviño saw Alvarez standing inside the house with his wife, that apparently upset him and he made his way into the house. When officers tried to subdue him he reached for a decorative sword, waved the large blade around and said, "Come on, (expletive)."
Both officers drew their firearms and held Treviño at bay until Alvarez got an opportunity to spray him with pepper spray.
That distracted Treviño long enough for the officers to jump him, wrestle him to the floor and handcuff him.
However, when the officers recovered from the assault, Alvarez realized he had been cut slightly on one arm by the sword.
On Thursday, grand jurors returned first degree felony indictments against the defendant on charges of aggravated assault, threat with a deadly weapon against a public servant and aggravated assault, bodily injury with a deadly weapon against a public servant.
The charges were enhanced from second degree felonies because Treviño had a previous felony conviction on a charge of injury to a child on Jan. 11, 1993, in Bee County.
District Judge M.E. "Mike" Welborn set bond on the defendant at $20,000.

We asked you to send us nominations on great customer service from around Hamilton County and you did! For individuals, we received nominations for Rachel from the Westfield Historical Society, Cheresa at the Hilton Garden Inn Carmel, Robert at the Springhill Suites Carmel and Britni from the Renaissance Indianapolis/North. Our committee chose Britni as the winner because of what the person nominating her had to say:
Britni is one of the most dependable, consistent, and friendly associates at the Renaissance Hotel. Just recently, a guest took the time to send a letter to the GM, Paul O'Conner, to compliment Britni's dedication to service. The guest said his arrival experience with Britni was "wonderful!� He told Mr. O'Conner how Britni upgraded him to the Club Lounge floor. To his surprise and delight, when he arrived to his room at 4pm, Britni had two of his favorite beers delivered to his room with Britni's compliments. Britni treats everyone likes VIP and is highly respected around the hotel.For the business nominations, the 2009 U.S. Senior Open Championship Committee, Kelties Restaurant and Peterson's Restaurant were nominated, with Peterson's winning the award.
My husband & I wanted to celebrate our anniversary in a special way, so we went to Peterson's Restaurant. From the moment we walked in, the hostess, wait staff, management and chef treated us like royalty. The food was cooked perfectly and came out without any lag time. As the staff walked by they greeted us with a "Happy Anniversary!� they also brought out a (free) chocolate fudge type of cake at the end – it was so good. Overall, the ambiance, food and service made for a perfect Anniversary.Thank you to those that made nominations. Congrats to both the winners and as well as all the nominees. Excellent service is what makes Hamilton County, Indiana a great place to visit!

Also, she thinks it's time to do away with all-black for spring.
Julia Restoin-Roitfeld was hesitant to call her group of friends classy last night — even though we spoke to her at the launch of Derek Blasberg's new book, Classy. "All my friends are pretty classy, I guess. No, I don't want to say classy. All my friends are pretty elegant with good manners," she said. Her favorite (classy, if you will) trends for spring are khaki and military-inspired styles, which she wore last night. "And, uh, enough with black," she continued. "Like, you should mix black with colors. But not all black. It's too sunny out for black — you have to have color."
Simon Doonan doesn't consider the cast of Jersey Shore classy, but forgives them since they're "at least fun." "I love the Jersey Shore. It's great," he told us. "I met Vinny and Pauly D at a party, and [my husband Jonathan Adler] and I were so excited to meet them that I think we scared them to death, 'cause we were just fizzing and squealing like demented fans." But Doonan didn't freak them out too much. "My sister-in-law, fortunately, was there and she's very busty and sexy, so it made it okay. She was there to kind of decoy them a bit, so they weren't so terrified," he explained. "I said, 'I love you. I've written about you in my column. You're so great.' I said, 'Do you know the New York Observer?' And they didn't."
Zac Posen, meanwhile, was excited for the 24-hour pop-up shop Target will open next Thursday to celebrate the launch of his collection for the retailer. "I am the 24-hour party," he said when we brought it up. He won't stay for the whole thing, but said, "I'll find ways to come in and out," he assured us. "I'll be reappearing at many different moments."

Cochrans are a family of championsAP File Photo
Mickey Cochran stands at the Cochran Ski Area in Richmond in this undated file photo. Through the years, Cochran Ski Area turned out a family of champions and helped train generations of ski racers.
RICHMOND It was 1960 in northern Vermont and Mickey Cochran had a simple plan with an uncommon stipulation. A former schoolteacher, Cochran would buy a house in the country for his growing family, but only if the new home had a pitched slope behind it where he could install a ski lift.
Along with his wife, Ginny, whom he met while skiing, Cochran found the right house and parcel of land for $10,000, and soon there was a rope tow just outside the back door. Educated as a mechanical engineer, Cochran affixed floodlights to adjacent trees and the roof of the two-story home, turning the modest rural hillside into a round-the-clock winter playground.
Like a Vermont version of the movie Field of Dreams, if you build and illuminate a place to ski in snow country, people will come from far and wide.
Throughout the 1960s, thousands of local schoolchildren and their parents learned to ski at the Cochran hill, with Mickey and Ginny providing free hands-on instruction. They did not charge to use the 400-foot rope tow either. Everyone was welcome, even in the kitchen of the Cochran home, which served as a warming hut.
It was a magical place, said Bob Cochran, one of Mickey and Ginnys four children. Like a big party at your house every night.
The ski hill, moderately expanded in subsequent decades, continues to this day as a nonprofit organization and revered civic resource, a tribute to Mickey Cochrans humble 1960 dream.
But that is not the reason Cochrans Ski Area, with its one tiny roadside sign, is known throughout the racing world. It is not why the one-room Cochran lodge, built in 1984, is replete with pictures of international skiing stars who have made the trek to this out-of-the-way little ski area next to the Winooski River.
Mickey and Ginny Cochrans children Marilyn, Barbara Ann, Bob and Lindy all made the U.S. ski team and each raced in the Olympics. At the 1972 Games in Sapporo, Japan, Barbara Ann won a gold medal in slalom.
The Skiing Cochrans, as they became known in the 1970s, were an American sensation, feted at gala dinners and featured in national magazines, like a sporting version of the Osmonds.
But theres more: six of Mickey and Ginny Cochrans grandchildren have made the U.S. ski team in the last decade, including Ryan Cochran-Siegle, Barbara Anns 20-year-old son, who won two events at the junior world championships last season. His cousin Robby Kelley, Lindys son, is the reigning national giant slalom champion, extending the lineage of Americas first family of ski racing into a sixth decade.
In 2005, four second-generation Cochrans were on the U.S. ski team, matching the four Cochrans on the team 43 years ago. And the ski area has helped produce more than a dozen U.S. team members who are not related to the Cochrans, even if they are all embraced as Cochran racers.
People have asked me if theres something in the water, Bob, 61, said with a laugh last month, sitting at a picnic table inside the unassuming Cochran lodge. People think we have some secret. But there was no special criteria for coming here except one. My father said you had to have fun.
And my mother made every kid who showed up here feel like a part of the family.
Each of the original skiing Cochrans insisted that making the Olympics was never discussed by their father, who died in 1998 at age 74, or by their mother, who was 76 when she died in 2005.
Even making the national team was never envisioned, said Lindy, now 59. That was some mystical place and the farthest thing from my fathers mind. He did, however, believe that you needed a lot of repetition to get good at something.
So what better way than to grab the rope tow just outside your bedroom window?
The usual Cochran winter day would have the children doing their homework after school, then awaiting their father, who had left teaching to take an engineering job at a General Electric plant in nearby Burlington.
He would get home around 6 p.m. and wed be waiting to get out there, said Bob, who became a physician after his amateur and professional ski racing career ended. My mom would give my dad something to eat, and then hed go fire up the old gas-powered engine that ran the rope tow.
Gates would be set on the hill, and if there were not enough gates, saplings cut from the adjacent woods would be used instead.
It would hurt hitting those saplings, said Marilyn, 62. But you couldnt get us off that hill. Wed be out there five nights a week, and the only way to get us to go to bed was to flip off the lights.
When Marilyn and Barbara Ann, who was 11 months younger, began winning regional and national-level races, their celebrity spread in the pastoral remote villages of northern New England, but they remained something of a curiosity at the extravagant Alps resorts that hosted the top international ski races. That was true even after they each won a medal at the 1970 world championships.
I recall the Europeans saying: Who are these Cochrans? From where? Marilyn said. But you know, they started thinking of us as kids to be reckoned with.
Their father was their coach and, they said, an innovator. Relying on his engineering background, he introduced scientific methods to racing tactics, turning a mountain descent into a conversation about vectors and ski path velocity. He taught his children to chart the number of gates in a racecourse and to memorize it using visualization techniques. He was also a master sports psychologist, an underappreciated part of coaching at the time.
He was a teacher at heart, and he knew how to keep you focused on your performance and not the outcome, Bob said. He was years ahead of his time.
If there is a shared trait from generation to generation of Cochran Olympians, it is the powerful benefit of basic homework, or time on the snow in ski racing parlance. The emphasis has always been on the value of dedicated, enthusiastic preparation, even in modest circumstances. The Cochran race training course is far from steep and only several hundred feet long. But Cochran racers for multiple decades have completed lap after lap, smiling as they go.
There was never pressure on us, said Ryan Cochran-Siegle, who is now racing at the highest levels of the World Cup circuit, a path his cousins blazed before him. I never felt any expectations. I wanted to do well, but winning was never the central goal. We were urged to just get better and better.
Marilyn, who became a World Cup giant slalom champion, recalled that her father always deflected questions about success, even as it became common to the household.
Acknowledging medals and things like that seemed arrogant to him, she said recently, sitting with her sisters and brother. Although I know he was proud of us.
Marilyn then explained that her parents could not afford to attend the 1972 Sapporo Olympics, where three of their children competed, but they stayed up late to watch the races from Japan. The living room scene, just feet from the backyard rope tow, was later re-created for her.
My father cried twice in his life when his mother died and when this one won the gold medal, Marilyn said, tapping the shoulder of Barbara Ann.
I didnt know that, Barbara Ann said, turning with a look of surprise. Now Im going to cry.
Marilyn said, Me, too.
The Cochrans Ski Area of today has moved about 150 yards from the original home, which has remained in the family. An adjacent 140-acre parcel of land, bought years ago for $4,000, allows more room to teach beginners, which comes in handy with more than 700 students enrolled in after-school programs.
Hundreds of local youth and Vermont high school racers also train and compete on the main trail next to a busy T-bar.
Its just an extension of when the local parent-teacher organization came to my mom and asked if she would teach the kids on our hill, said Barbara Ann, who heads the current instruction program. Mom always said skiing was the best way to keep parents and their kids together in the backyard.
On a bluff overlooking a dirt and cinder parking lot, the Cochran lodge is festooned with dozens of numbered racing bibs from championship races. The oldest are from New England in the mid-1960s and the newest were proudly spirited home from top international competitions last winter.
The skis Barbara Ann used to win her gold medal hang from the ceiling, and photos celebrating the careers of nearly every Cochran are tacked to the walls, which takes up a lot of room given the breadth of the accomplishments. From Bobs 1973 win in the famed Hahnenkamm combined in Austria to Lindys top American finish for a woman in the 1976 Olympic slalom and giant slalom, to NCAA championships by the grandchildren, the Mickey and Ginny Cochran racing pedigree is long and full. And all of it from a hill that is a miniature of a major ski resort.
Simplicity and unpretentiousness have remained hallmarks of the Cochran way. So has affordability. A junior weekend lift ticket is $14. Children pay about $40 for a season of after-school lessons $90 with rentals.
And we give scholarships if someone cant afford that, Lindy said. If you really want to learn to ski, you wont be turned away.
The ski area may have registered as a nonprofit organization only after Mickeys death, but as Ginny told her children at the time, It was always a nonprofit.
The current ski area, with its gaggle of instructors, coaches and lift operators, is overseen by a board that has had to raise money for improvements like top-to-bottom snow-making. The bills are paid, the lodge picnic tables overflow in the winter with excited, red-cheeked children, and warm food is doled out of a tiny kitchen. But donations are continually sought to keep Cochrans Ski Area viable and available to the next generation.
On a stormy Friday four days before Christmas, rain pelted the tin roof of the Cochran lodge and gusts knocked out the electrical power. Man-made snow was on the slopes, but the downpour threatened the anticipated opening of the ski area the next day.
The four children of Mickey and Ginny Cochran, who live not far from Richmond, happily gathered inside the lodge nonetheless, reminiscing and finishing one anothers sentences as if they were at the dining room table in 1960.
They discussed the Olympics and world championships like run-of-the-mill high school events. When shown black-and-white pictures of their Olympic media appearances, the Cochrans hardly seemed impressed; they were too busy teasing one another about their 1970s hairdos.
One by one, recollections from decades past were summoned with ease and spontaneity, and almost every story began with a Cochran turning and pointing at the ski trails beyond the lodge window and saying:
We were on the hill. ...
The weather that day may have been cold and blustery. The Cochran memories are forever warm and genuine.
After a few hours, the siblings departed wondering when the ski area a Vermont cultural landmark might open for another winter.
If it stops raining, weve still got a chance tomorrow, Lindy said.
The next day, the rain had ceased but the snow beneath the T-bar lift was too irregular for Cochrans to open as scheduled.
About 25 youngsters from the weekend race program showed up anyway. So did some coaches and the three Cochran sisters. Pulling into the muddy parking lot, they got out of their cars to gaze uphill at the swath of good snow that remained on the central trail.
A procession soon began hiking up the hill carrying skis. Gates were set in the snow. Racers skied down.
Smiling, they walked back up the hill. Over and over.
It snowed soon after. Three days later, Cochrans Ski Area officially opened for another winter.MORE IN Sports WireOXON HILL, Md. Wade Davis already had closed out a World Series.

Today we are going to show you part number TH01221102 from Thule. This is their CB12 tire chains. As you can see here, the chains come in a handy carrying case. I have one of the chains in the center also you have a package with some gloves that you can wear over your mittens and whatnot to keep them dry while you are putting the chains on. Also there is an extra pair of links so in the unlikely event that you break a chain you can fix it rather easily. Also there is a kneeling mat so you do not get your knees wet while you go ahead and install the chains. A few quick notes about these. It does feature color-coded connection points to ease installation. A plastic-covered cable runs from behind the tire to allow you to move the chain without moving the car. The links themselves are a dual-sided D-shape that provides greater traction. And also this will not mess up anything with anti-lock brake systems or electronic stability control systems. It is really designed for passenger-type vehicles. We will go ahead and show you how it fits and how it installs on a typical tire.
To install the chain, run it behind the tire and then bring the blue cable behind the tire and hook them up at the top. Then pull your chains from the back side up to the front, and your red loop here on the end will connect to this red hook here. Then kind of push the blue cable back behind the tire. And then this chain here at the bottom will go through this tensioner here. Hook it through this other loop here. And then this part you want to hook this end up as close to this red hook as possible, somewhere on this part of the chain. Okay, and you have them installed.
All right, to remove the chains, reverse the same procedure. Disconnect it, undo this, and then on top here with the hook, pull the blue part back in and just let it fall to the ground. And part of the chain might be trapped underneath the tire, so just let it sit wherever and just drive backward or forward, whichever is easier, to retrieve your chains. And there you have it for part number TH01221102 from Thule, their CB12 tire chains.

I live on a mountain top in Western North Carolina where one of our recent snow falls left 10 inches of snow the first night. I refer to my driveway as The Roller Coaster because it is so steep and curvy and at 6:30 the morning I first used the chains, it was so covered that I had to guess where it was. I have an '03 Subaru Forester and with my Thule chains, I was able to go where the snow plows hadn't gone with no traction problems whatsoever. It was a week before I was able to safely take them off the car, but they're in the back for the next time I need them. etrailer is fantastic! I ordered the chains on Saturday, Dec 25, got confirmation of my order that same day and had the chains the following Wednesday. I recommend both etrailer and these chains without any reservations on either! 6119

I order these to put on my 2011chevy cruze and the fit great. Very important to make sure the chains are twist and kink free before sliding them under the car. It's fully possible to install the chains with out moving the car which it great! I do suggest retightening after driving 100 or so feet to make sure they are still secure. I bought these to help with traction with snow as this winter has been bad so far and I want to be prepared. Easy to install even though it was my first time it only too a couple mins. To install. Very pleased with these and love the storage case to keep the at the ready. 111260

These are best chains on the market that I found. Ive had others and they either broke or fell off the car. These chains I rely on to work every time. Easy to put on and to take off. Last years blizzard, the state shut the roads down, but my job requires me to be there. I was the only car on the road and the roads were not even plowed yet. 5 minutes to put on, less time to take off... these ain't your fathers chains. Best investment I've made for the winter time, and I've bought spares for all the cars in my household. 222352

The Thule snow chains look like they will do the job. I test fitted them to day and they seemed to go on quite easy. I go caught in a ice storm once and it was terrible on the highways. It is always good to keep a set of chains in the trunk just in case. 160328
by: M12/29/2012
Got them the evening of our trip, tried them on, they fit the 2009 Toyota Camry Hybrid. We haven't had them on since the test fitting, the roads remained clear. With a few fitting I expect to find them easy to install. 62211

Review from a similar Thule CB12 in Tire Chains
I have to say I'm extremely satisfied with these tire chains!! They're so aggressive and work well with my corolla. My at is front wheel drive and the weight of the motors sits perfectly in line with the tire/chain combination. They bite and dig right in the snow and ice. My drive way is very long as you can see and quite dangerous in snowy conditions. I've had numerous times where I've had to slip the chains on and it was a breeze. They're so easy to put on and off. I feel extremely confident throughout the winter season with the Thule tire chains in the back of my trunk. Thank you so much! You guys have great products going! 110489
Hi, Austin. Thanks for the review. I just purchased these same chains and am wondering if you have ever had any problem with the chains scratching or damaging the rims? Thanks
comment by: John - 11/16/2014
Hey John, no problem. No the chains never scratched my rims and Ive used them multiple times. I recently purchased a new set of rims and I have no fear that they will harm them either. And that was one thing that I was worried about, but they never scratched them!

Review from a similar Thule CB12 in Tire Chains
I am a 63-year-old woman with a small frame and arthritis in both hands. I just did a practice run putting on the chains. 1) could not open case, needed to find a clippers to clip the little arrowhead catch at the top. 2) chains were EXTREMELY tangled together and took a long time to untangle -- why don't they package them in internal plastic bags? 3) first attempt to put chains on was a failure because they were still a bit knotted. I found that holding up the circle and letting the chains hang down like a basketball net, then carefully unhooking the circle and keeping all the chains pointing to the interior of the arc, on only one side of the blue "hoop", worked best. After that it was a snap. In spite of weak hands I could get enough tension on the chains (looked just like the picture in the video) and after driving the car forward slightly I adjusted it one notch tighter without problem. Had a couple of snags getting it off, and would appreciate instructions on the video. Haven't yet test the chains in snow so can't give a full rating of the product. Both the Review video and the Installation video show instructions but the installation video is a bit easier to follow. 174739

Review from a similar Thule CB12 in Tire Chains
I used these chains for the first time to get me home after work when winter storm Jonas hit the east coast. The snow was so deep that I only had trouble when the snow started to pick my car off the ground. I made it all the way home with these chains but did notice a few links broke during the 30 minute drive home. I wasn't going any faster than 20-25 mph on the way home. I couldn't go any faster given how bad the roads were. These chains were easy to install and I did drive a few miles before stopping and retightening them as per the instructions. The chains can be used again even with the broken link but I will have to repair them in the spring or buy new ones next year. 236646

Tire chains delivered earlier than expected and are even easier to put on than I thought. The plastic covered rear cable makes putting on the chains so easy and I don't have to hug a dirty wet tire. Will definitely recommend this site and use them again. 171865

I don't usually submit online reviews but in this case wow what a great company! I ordered some chains for my Lexus ct200h on a Saturday and got a real live phone call on Sunday from Erika stating the product I ordered was out of stock. She recommended these chains instead and not only were they less expensive but they arrived on Thursday just in time for a California ice storm on Friday. I had to put the chains on for the first time on my way home to my house at 5000 foot elevation. I watched the video before leaving work and as promised they went on in a breeze even with the low wheel well clearance. Great company, great product- I couldn't be happier! 233652

Review from a similar Thule CB12 in Tire Chains
Purchased the Thule chains after returning chains bought from Wal-Mart one year ago. The Wal-Mart chains were difficult to install and one broke immediately. When I spoke to Ricky one year ago to purchase the chains, he was helpful as we discussed the different chain options. The Thule chains fit the car well and are easy to install. Recently used them over the Thanksgiving 2016 weekend in Yosemite National Park. We drove 1- 1.5 hours at 25 - 30 mph with the chains from Yosemite Valley to the outside of the park. The roads had been plowed one time and the drive out of Yosemite was up and down as well as winding roads. We did not slip one time. Chains were required and a life saver. Also used the chains in Sequoia National park. The chains did their job as we climbed the mountains into the park. Highly recommend the Thule chains. 321162

This is my third purchase from Etrailer. As always they delivered, again ahead of schedule. I can't give a complete review of the product because we are experiencing some unusually mild weather but I can say that the product arrived ahead of schedule, looks bomber, and came in a convenient carrying case. Previous purchases include a trailer hidden hitch and timbren suspension support for my 2007 Toyota Sienna. Both were supported by video/written instructions, available on etrailers website, and installed without a "hitch". Etrailer will continue to be one of the first websites I check for all my automotive needs! 30510

Review from a similar Thule CB12 in Tire Chains
Ice... I laugh at ice... So... We got stuck at the in-laws this Christmas because the hill up to civilization was covered in ice and we drive a Corrola. Determined not to have this happen again I read some reviews and bought these chains. I put one side on as soon as we got them to make sure they were the right size and they fit my 185/65/15s perfectly. The chains are not round either, but angled. I think they will be what we need to make sure we can get out next time it ices... The video on etrailer was much more helpful than the graphic instructions provided for installation though. Thanks etrailer! 5057

so far so good. i spent an afternoon practicing putting them on and taking them off. got it down to about 7 minutes for both. just waiting for a nice ice storm to really try them out! also wanted to mention the customer service from etrailer was great. they mistakenly told me my order shipped the same day when in fact the item was not in stock. the next day i got an email and a phone call apologizing and asking if i wanted a different item, a refund or just wait till the chains came in. 2 days later they arrived. they were totally on top of it. thanks... 110210

Review from a similar Thule CB12 in Tire Chains
The customer service is excellent! And the product arrived before schedule!! The chains and organizer are very good quality. I purchased the chains for a trip I was taking, so the arrival BEFORE the projected date was really great and gave my husband and myself a chance to do a trial run of putting them on the car. They were easy to install and something I could handle on my own. I didn't run into any snow, so cannot give a review on actual use, and that is the only reason I didn't give "excellent" in my rating. Definitely would recommend this site to others. 172475

These chains fit my Mazda 626 very well, and I was able to get to work when the roads were all but impassable for the ice that covered everything because of thee rain all day that turned to freezing rain. I was raised in Montana so am used to fighting snow, but this Arkansas freezing rain takes getting used to but with these chains I am not afraid to venture out no matter what the weather. Also, the people at etrailer.com arethe best to deal with, my questions were answered with great professionalism and courtesy. On a scale of 1-10 they rate a 12. 109839

Review from a similar Thule CB12 in Tire Chains
Easy to install and great traction! I just used these chains in Tahoe and they worked great! I was a little worried about installing them in the snow, but the design made it really easy because it's almost split into two sections that wrap around the tire instead of having to drive on top of them first. I would highly recommend doing a practice run before you actually need them, as the chains are a little intimidating at first, but after installing the first one, the second one was on in no time. Great product! 162770

I haven't had the chance to use the product yet. We are just starting to get what promises to be a HISTORIC snow storm. It's Friday and the chains were supposed to arrive on Monday ... after 2 feet plus of snow is forecast to fall here on the mountain. I was able to install the chains before the snow started and they were the easiest chains I have ever installed. World class customer service from this company. I will most definitely recommend them in the future. Thanks! 236013

Great product at the best price anywhere. I called to place my order rather than making it online because I had a question about shipping time just before Christmas. The lady who took my call was extremely helpful. Regular shipping was free, and she found and followed through with express shipping for just $7. She was super nice too. 111294

I use the chain yesterday to bring my Nurse wife who works night shift to her work in the hospital. I live here in Long Island New York and she works in Jamaica Hospital in Queens. The chain makes it easy for me to navigate the snow. Would highly recommend to everyone who needs to be in a road in a severe weather like snow storm. 6215

This is a life saver. Having a rear wheel drive car (Genesis) the snow and ice of the past month made it impossible to drive. Got these and haven't had a problem since. Was considering buying snow tires for my car but for 500 dollars for just two tires for my car got these instead, and glad i did. 6494

I like the Chains very easy to install driving in the snow or ice very good grip I did using twice once I drove 16 miles the second time I drove 20 miles one link broke the whole chain looks worn out and the end I will say good chain poor quality 177004
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. Under operating conditions for which these were designed, proper installation, and respect for all the guidelines provided, these chains will last season after season of use. Links breaking and premature wear are indicative of driving on pavement, we do provide a repair link if that does happen, and always advise chains be removed once you get to payment or lightly covered roads where the tires are able to make positive contact. Thanks again!Michael L from - 03/09/2015

These Thule chains look a little light for long lasting, but time will tell. My only comment pre-use is that the directions for installation would have been just as helpful if written in Chinese. 162180
Etrailer has made a few videos to review the installation of these chains onto vehicles to show all the steps to supplement the basic included instructions. It is always recommended to do a few trial runs to familiarize yourself with the process, prior to being caught in the stormMichael L from - 12/01/2014

RUSH: Here's Obama yesterday in Reno. He had a town hall. Now, you talk about a guy with a chip on his shoulder? It's the same chip on his shoulder that our caller had.
OBAMA: Part of what we have to do with our tax code is also end some of the tax cuts that were instituted for the wealthiest Americans. I say that not because I want to punish success. I'm... I -- I -- I'm rooting for everybody to get rich. But I believe that we can't ask everybody t'sacrifice and then tell the wealthiest among us, "Well, you can just relax and go count your money and don't worry about it. We're -- we're not gonna ask anything of you."
RUSH: "We're not gonna ask anything of you. Just go sit and count your money," as though they were sitting idly one day, minding their own business, and then got rich. Yeah, they haven't paid any taxes. They just sat around and life's lottery happened to shine on them! They didn't work hundred hours or anything. No, they just happened to become rich and we can't let them get away with that. But that he isn't the most hideous thing here. The most hideous thing here is when he lies and tells people he's rooting for everybody to get rich.
His policies are designed to prevent that from happening. Obama's economic policies are meant to destroy the ability to create wealth. Hell, Obama's policies are destroying the creation of wealth, and for him to sit there and say that his objective is for everybody to get rich is an out-and-out lie. He doesn't want that to happen. He does want to punish success because he's doing it. In that sound bite he's doing it. He's punishing success by mischaracterizing these people. When he starts talking about these millionaires and billionaires, don't forget who he's talking about: He's talking about those of you who earn $250,000 a year.
You are now millionaires and billionaires. If you have small business -- you're subchapter S and you file your tax return on a personal 1040 form -- you're rich. You're a target. You're a millionaire; you're a billionaire. "We aren't gonna ask anything of you" except for you to pay 40% of your wealth in taxes. That's all we're gonna ask of you. We can't have everybody else to sacrifice and then... That's the other thing: What are all these other people "sacrificing"? When the bottom 50% of income earners pays 2% of the tax bite, where's the sacrifice here? What he means by "sacrifice," when he says, "We can't ask everybody to sacrifice," is he's talking about the unfortunate and the unlucky who didn't get rich.
See, getting rich in Obama's world is not because of hard work. It's because of luck, or you cheated somebody, or you defrauded somebody. It's not because of hard work. We had a great caller in our last hour yesterday who said, "I'm sick and tired of hearing these people vilified. They have invented things for us. They have created products and services that have made our lives better. Why are we vilifying them?" I told this story before. Reagan was governor of California. I believe it was the free speech movement, although don't quote me on that, but the students at UC Berkeley were raising hell about something, and they demanded to meet with Reagan.
The Governor granted the meeting to some of the student leaders -- and at the meeting, the student leaders said to Reagan (summarized), "You don't know what we're going through! You don't know what our lives are like. You're just an old man. You're outta touch. You have no idea what we want in our future. I mean, you didn't have phones growing up. You didn't have airplanes growing up. You had nothing! You can't relate to us in any way." Reagan just sat there and listened to 'em complain, and when the student leaders finished telling Reagan how out of touch he was because of how old he was -- and how he had nothing in common with them -- he looked at the student leaders and he said, "You know, you're right. We didn't have those things. We had to invent them for you."
RUSH: Why is Obama ratcheting up all of his attacks on rich people? I know it satisfies his base, but he doesn't care about the base. They have nowhere to go. But I mean he's out there, while raising money from the rich he is ripping them to shreds. He's pummeling 'em. He's out in California talking to the Hollywood left, anybody that's got any kind of money at all, and they're freely giving it to him. The Spielbergs and the Katzenbergs and everybody else out there, the Clooneys of the world, they can't line up fast enough to give this guy big bucks. But I'll tell you what, ripping into the rich, it sure does separate them from their money. If they think Draconian taxes are coming, and they've given money to Obama, maybe they can get a waiver. Ha. But he's scaring the fat cats, (imitating Obama) "You guys better get on board with me. You're in for a tough ride, unless you're my friend." I don't think there's any doubt about this. Go to the audio sound bites. Here's Obama announcing that he's gonna have Eric Holder form this commission to find out what's going on with gas prices.
OBAMA: I asked my attorney general to look into any cases of price gouging so he can make sure nobody's being taken advantage of at the pump. Today I'm gonna go a step further. The attorney general's putting together a team whose job it is to root out any cases of fraud or manipulation in the oil markets that might affect gas prices, and that includes the role of traders and speculators. We're gonna make sure that nobody's taking advantage of American consumers for their own short-term gain.
RUSH: Right on. Right on, right on, right on, right on, same old rhetoric. It's gotta be somebody in the evil private sector doing it and it can't have anything to do with his drilling moratorium, oh, no, no, no. It can't have anything to do with his overall economic policy which is depressing and suppressing investment, economic growth. He also suggested on Thursday that his lagging poll numbers are due to high gas prices. That's all it is. If it weren't for those speculators, if it weren't for those gas prices, he'd be up to 60% he thinks, that's what he's telling people. He'd be at 60% approval if it weren't for the gas prices. Now, let's revisit what was said the last time gasoline was four dollars a gallon. We have three stories here. The theme is the same. It's the fault of the president of the United States. It was a crisis. Americans were suffering. Bush was to blame. Bush caused a weak dollar. He wouldn't release oil from the strategic reserve. His energy policy was terrible.
First story is Politico, Martin Frost, June 10th of 2008. "High oil prices? Weak dollar? Blame Bush -- Few issues focus the public's attention on politics like the price of gasoline. It keeps going up, the public wants relief, and politicians are held accountable for not fixing the situation. Yet to solve the problem, you first need to know the cause of the illness. Why do gasoline prices keep going up? Is it because Congress and President Bush have not fashioned energy policies to reduce our dependence on foreign oil? Clearly that's part of the answer. Our government can do more to reduce demand and increase supply through conservation, auto fuel efficiency standards, tax breaks and subsidies for development of alternative energy sources, and incentives to drill more in the US But that's not the entire story. The immediate cause of rising oil prices is the weak dollar." This is Martin Frost in 2008. Oil producing countries are requiring more dollars to purchase the same barrel of oil because the dollar's worth less today than it was a few years ago. The same story could be written today, but it isn't being written.
The next story comes from Fox News, July 8th of 2008: "Pelosi Asks Bush to Draw from Petroleum Reserve to Combat Surge in Oil Prices." Now, remember, we're talking about four-dollar-a-gallon here, four years ago. "House Speaker Nancy Pelosi asked Bush on Tuesday to draw down a portion of the country's strategic petroleum reserves as a way to reduce crude prices and help motorists who are suffering from the rising cost of gasoline." And then from Politics USA, April 26, 2008: "Democrats Blame Bush and Republicans for High Gas and Oil Prices -- This week Senator Frank Lautenberg delivered the Democrat radio address. Lautenberg placed the blame for high prices of gasoline and oil firmly at the feet of George W. Bush and the Republican Party." And the media is reporting all of this with applause and happiness and an echo. We are not seeing a repeat of any of this. No, Obama cares. Obama cares. Don't forget Bush caused Katrina, too, and that drove up gas prices. Bush steered that hurricane right in there because he didn't like black people. That's what Spike Lee said. (interruption) Yeah, Kanye West said Bush didn't like black people. It was Spike Lee who said he steered the hurricane in there. You're right. Thanks for the correction. I want to make sure I get that kind of stuff right. The appropriate quotes applied to the accurate source. Now gas prices are high. Obama is not to blame. He's doing everything he can to bring prices down, so here he is yesterday, Reno, Nevada, at a town hall.
OBAMA: I remember before I was president the last time gas prices went up this high, it's tough. And if you're somebody who's gotta drive 20 miles, 30 miles to a job and maybe you don't have the money to buy a new car that gets better gas mileage, so you have that old beater, it's eight miles a gallon, you know. I've been there. It hurts.
RUSH: (imitating Obama) "I've been there." When did you ever have a job? When did he ever have a job? That's just a sideline question. So gas prices are high. You can't afford a new car. Happily presiding over America's decline. What are you to do? Obama has the answer.
OBAMA: I've been in one of these Chevy Volts. That is a nice car. It drives really well. So for all of you out there who are still driving those eight mile a gallon big SUVs, you know, some -- some of you, you know, that's the car you got to drive right now, you can't afford a new car, but when you do decide to buy a new car, think about the fact that we're putting a whole bunch of money into the pockets of some folks in some cases who don't like us at all, we're just giving away our wealth. That makes no sense.
RUSH: I tell you, folks, I get notes from people, "How do you put up with the stupidity of some of the people that call you?" That's not the question. Those are educational opportunities. The real question for me is how do I politely put up with the stupidity that is Obama?

The game between Fulham and Portsmouth in the Premier League on Wednesday, 3rd February 2010 at 20:00 takes centre stage for FootyMad's preview analysis.
Fulham prepare to entertain Portsmouth at Craven Cottage on Wednesday evening, needing to improve on a poor record between the sides. The visitors have won 11 of the 27 previous games, with the Cottagers winning just 7.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Craven Cottage was just last season, in January 2009, with Fulham running out comfortable 3-1 winners in a Premier League match.

Flash Gordon (1980)
If there is another Science-Fiction movie with a title song to outdo the opening notes of Freddie Mercury and Queen's electro-operatic 'Flash' I have yet to hear it. As flamboyant as the film it heralded it remains a drum-thumping, set-the-bass-to-maximum classic. And the same can be said for this 1980s ode to the black-and-white 'Flash Gordon' serials of the 1930s (and the comic strips that in turn inspired them). The storyline is one familiar to a legion of Sci-Fi fans from the grainy B&W TV episodes of the serialized show that were a staple of Saturday morning television in Ireland, Britain, the United States and pretty much everywhere else in the 1970s and '80s. An American football star, Flash Gordon (played by B-actor celeb Sam J. Jones), is involved in a plane crash along with journalist Dale Arden (played by an overly winsome Melody Anderson) during a mysterious storm. Seeking refuge in a nearby house they encounter a controversial scientist called Dr. Hans Zarkov (Israeli actor Chaim Topol giving a wonderfully manic performance), who informs them that the Earth is under attack from an alien power, and the Moon is being diverted from its orbit. At gunpoint Zarkov forces the duo to join him in his home-made rocket ship on a journey to the to the mysterious planet (Mongo) to discover the source of the assault on the Earth and to end it.
What follows is an absolutely rollicking adventure as they explore the world of the Emperor Ming the Merciless (played by famed Swedish actor Max von Sydow in a role he clearly relished), and the many kingdoms and peoples of Mongo he rules over, while struggling to create an alliance to overthrow Ming's tyrannical rule. Despite the clichés and silliness of the plot, the story still manages to engage and hold the attention and it comes to a suitably satisfactory end – albeit an open one with an unfortunately never to be fulfilled hint of a sequel.
'Flash Gordon' was and remains beautiful to look at, containing some of the most colourful sets and designs to be found in Science-Fiction movies, with retro-futuristic costumes to match. The special effects are about par 1980s standard, but a good standard, and still hold up (the skies of Mongo are still incredible to look at). The movie knows itself for what it is: energetic, tongue-in-cheek, there to be enjoyed camp Sci-Fi, and is all the better for it. It never really takes itself too seriously and in doing so has created one of the great SF movies of the 1980s.The supporting cast is wonderful, with the incredibly sexy model-turned-actress Ornella Muti playing Ming's dangerously obsessional daughter Princess Aura, British actor and future 'James Bond' Timothy Dalton playing Prince Barin (Aura's on-off lover), and a truly, fantastically, outrageously manic Brian Blessed as Prince Vultan, polystyrene wings, rubber hammer an' all. In the United States the movie received a very poor box office showing, and was generally disliked by critics, while in Europe and elsewhere it rapidly reached the status of a cult must-see classic, a status that has only grown with the passing of time. 'Flash Gordon' remains a silly, cheerful Sci-Fi romp held in deep affection by its many fans, and is deservedly available in several quality DVD and Blu-ray editions. And, seriously, who does not know that Queen song?
'Flash a-ah
Saviour of the Universe…!'

The Florida Atlantic University Undergraduate Research Journal (FAURJ) is an interdisciplinary, peer-reviewed journal that is published annually. The FAURJ is published online and in print by OURI's student club, the Council for Scholarship and Inquiry (C.S.I.). Its missions are to showcase high quality undergraduate research in all fields, supply students with an idea of the standard of research, and promote inquiry-based activities at FAU.
Research in the Curriculum
One major goal is to establish an undergraduate curriculum which provides students the intellectual skills necessary to successfully engage in undergraduate research and inquiry.
The Distinction through Discovery Undergraduate Curriculum Grant Program provides seed funding for the incorporation of research and inquiry practices into undergraduate incorporating research and inquiry at the course, program, college, or university level upper-division curricula. The Distinction through Discovery Curriculum Committee encourages departments and programs to take a holistic, programmatic approach. Review criteria to be considered for full proposal invitations include:
- Articulate how the curricular changes fit into the mission of the department(s) or program(s).
- Explain how the curricular changes will result in high-quality research and inquiry experiences for the program(s) and undergraduate students.
- Clearly demonstrate support for undergraduate scholarship.
- Lead to the achievement of the Distinction through Discovery student learning outcomes
- research and inquiry exposure
- research and inquiry skill-building
- research and inquiry intensive
