"In a Capitol City, locked in a hot and streamy summer, rocked by the dishonest leadership of a tyrannical President, two people from two different worlds collide. After facing each other down in a Sub Committee on Rotary Funds, in a Conference room with failing air conditioning, Grant Manning and Isolde Devereaux were on opposite sides of the argument over the amortization of debt by closely held assets controled by Amalgamated International Incorporated. Released from their captivity by the sub committee chair, smashing down his gavel on the plith, they both found themselves spent by the elevators. Isolde's decolletage, glistening with dewy woman musk as her chest heaved in the cooling air. Her eyes were ashamed at home they soaked up the image of Grant's shirt, clinging to his perfectly sculpted chest. He reached into his suit jacket and pulled out an unopened towelette from the Chinese carryout, riped it open in his manly hands and offered it to her. "Would m'lady care for a refreshing towelette?" "Yes," she replied, "yes, I would."The Cool Cookiehttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-1796411634997211046.post-60551559575169997712017-01-16T18:23:00.004-05:002017-01-16T18:23:49.078-05:00A Jocko Romance: When Did I Become That Kind of Girl

Exchange student from Denmark, Gertruda Ruudenspat was looking forward to spending her senior year in an all-American town like Entway, Illinois. But did she find herself the talk of the town for all the wrong reasons even if they were true? Gertruda found herself yearning for something real, something bird watching with her host father could provide. It all changed when she felt the forbidden electricity of illicit avocational love begin to smolder. Once the woodpecker was out of its tree, could she forget the unspeakable joy of spotting her first titmouse? Only under the knowing and sensitive pen of Clevette Thrush could such a story be told.The Cool Cookiehttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-1796411634997211046.post-75838792537381415172016-12-03T19:54:00.000-05:002016-12-03T19:54:29.767-05:00Claudine Longet Mystery, No. 14, 1970

Not a magazine, but a book series that helped to shoot Claudine Longet to the top of the teen girl mystery phase. Each book - about four per year - showcased the French singer as she toured towns around the world, and the intrigue that enveloped her. "I never go looking for trouble, trouble seeks me, calls my name and demands my attention." The series, penned by the equally mysterious Wilhelmina Andrews, who never gave live interviews, was a good seller until Longet's decision to leave the life of fame and take up skiing and a more quiet lifestyle.

Known for its frank discussions on the sacrifices of sending ones beloved step children to the best boarding schools, and being a rock for ones husband in not flying them home for the holidays ("Charlton, now what kind of holiday will they have if they have to spend 13 hours on a jet each way? And think of the good you'll be undoing by throwing them into an English speaking holiday - they'll lose all their proficiency in French!"), each issue of Modern Step Mother was filled with handy tips for keeping the hubby happy and his ex wife at bay.The Cool Cookiehttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-1796411634997211046.post-34450438194104351702016-02-06T17:17:00.003-05:002016-02-06T17:17:59.820-05:00Windsuiting, February 2003

Windsuiting was, and still is, the monthly magazine for women who have embraced the windsuit lifestyle. Their legion's grow, because at some point all middle class Mom's whose only goal was to take care of the husband and the kids want to give up the drudgery of looking their best for the allure of wash and wear weatherproof nylon suits matched with turtlenecks.

Month in, month out, this staid journal never was one to cross any line in the sand that it had drawn for others. In May, 1909, the Editorial Board launched an ill-fated war on contractions, feeling that they were at the root of society's ills.The Cool Cookiehttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-1796411634997211046.post-86136344487814888182015-12-26T18:38:00.002-05:002015-12-26T18:38:46.863-05:00Frigid Magazine

Yes, after four years, we are back, having just unearthed this 1950 copy of Frigid magazine.

Frigid was the magazine for women who had their man and their security, but felt that they had done their job by enduring sex with their husbands. Better yet, had they borne their husband a child, then they were to worshiped, not degraded by having sex in the missionary position.

In 1959, the magazine published the expose "If my husband would only take a mistress" which discussed how his dalliances could help his wife feel clean and morally superior.

In 1969, the magazine published "My husband is a Homosexual, and I couldn't be happier". The author stated "I no longer have to fear intercourse with him because he isn't the least bit interested. Of course he wants me to look beautiful, and lavishes attention upon my needs, but I no longer have to handle his genitals - other men do that for me. And that is a fair trade - who needs sex when you can have companionship!"The Cool Cookiehttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-1796411634997211046.post-2719355726839273092011-12-05T12:38:00.000-05:002011-12-05T12:38:56.517-05:00TVDigest, February 1956

ABC Spared no expense in it's promotion of the All Star Salute to L.B. Mayer. Katherine Hepburn danced while reciting "The Boy Stood on the Burning Deck - His Feet Were Filled with Blisters". Hedy Lamar and Marlon Brando performed physical comedy. Farley Granger and Helen Traubell performed dramatic readings from Tolstoy.

And Judy did what Judy did best - she was Judy for five unforgettable numbers. Her version of "You Made Me Want to You" brought tears to L.B.'s eyes.

The only bump in the night was Vera Hruba Ralston who crashed the party and to be removed from the stage by Old Blue Eye's himself.

Always popular, Today's Pilgrim was a mainstay in the homes of those searching for religious freedom for over one-hundred years. Althpugh home subscriptions seldom proved popular - most issues arrived a year out of date, the magazine's most popular feature was it's Seek and Find, because that was what most pilgrim's do. Another must read feature was the Column "Dearest Purdence" in which advice was dispensed:

Dearest Prudence, I take pen in hand to tell thou that thee and thy family abode is overrun with red savages. Will thy testest what thy can do to rid ourselves of these men? Just sign thou "Brad"

Dearest Brad, While it presents certain dangers, thy could expose the savage to the small pox, provided they have have it before hand. Tis extreme, but works.

FOURTEEN "the Magazine that is for-teens" was a product of the puberty paranoia that erupta during the post world war era/ Aimed at the girls who weren't really kids, but then again weren't mature teens, Fourteen found its voice in speaking to angst felt by every girl who is going through that magical and yet scary time that we call puberty.

The publisher felt that they provided an open outlet to speak to the issues of these "tweens", be it the curse of perpetually being surrounded by people who didn't "get them" or the humiliation of treally, really loving a boy and him being to stupid to realize it, Fourteen felt it was there for them.

Dowager Quarterly was the creation of the house of Lethal Muscato Publications, and has enjoyed a steady, yet elite circulation since 1809. Published Quarterly - a monthly publication would simply raise the eye brows of those who have nothing better to do than gossip - the journal promoted good breeding, proper behaviors and heralded a call aginst those types of social progress that furthered the agenda of the uncouth. Each issue contained consistent features and topics (its "Seating Charts" section was among its most popular recurring features from 1861 to 1969) that reaffirmed to its readership that better living, indeed, could be had through dudgeon.The Cool Cookiehttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-1796411634997211046.post-24672549035652587562011-05-03T21:09:00.000-04:002011-05-03T21:09:38.129-04:00Knowing, October 1950

Knowing was the magazine for women who needed to know, but weren't sure where to turn to. Each monthly issue contained stories of women, much like themselves, who had lived life, learned the hard way, and hopefully felt that their stories would somehow help others.The Cool Cookiehttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-1796411634997211046.post-38916847754140171582011-04-28T11:46:00.002-04:002011-05-03T17:57:44.271-04:00TEACH, May, 1945

While seldom found at the newsstand, a stray copy of TEACH would occasionally make it to the Principals waiting room where it would be seen by the parent of the playground bully who was waiting for their weekly talk with school administration about their child's need to make others eat worms.

Most would leave the magazine on the table, still some would leaf through the pages looking for coupons. What brought the periodical to its knees was when one of the errant parents would snag a copy and read it only to discover that their child had been nominated to the "Today's Bullies, Tomorrow's Professional Wrestler" feature.

The last issue of TEACH was published in 1956 after the word "teach" was inducted into the popular lexicon as slang for a "hot one" in the classroom..The Cool Cookiehttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-1796411634997211046.post-36063275244741194462011-03-22T11:43:00.001-04:002011-03-22T11:44:15.772-04:00Hypochondriac's Home Companion, May, 1948

A longtime favorite with those who will forever hold Catarrh dear to their heart, the Hypochondriacs Home Companion brought hope to the hopeless and a bevy of new diseases each month to those who were looking for a little something different to try in their lives.The Cool Cookiehttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-1796411634997211046.post-89604610162180643702011-03-17T04:20:00.002-04:002011-03-17T14:13:15.481-04:00HOUSEWIFE, August 1965

When you stay home, day after day, cleaning, cooking and taking care of others, looking at the drab walls of your tract house that are painted the same dreary colors that you find in most hopsitals, it may dawn on you one day that you have needs, too. And you ask yourself: who will take care of my needs?

Your husband's answer: "Well if I got to stay home all day, I'd think it was a vacation!"

Your daughter's answer: "Oh, you just don't understand!"

Your Mother in Law's answer: "Well I didn't have enough hours in the day to get everything done, and I didn't have all these labor saving devices, but at least my home was clean."

Your son's answer: "Oh, c'mon, nobody likes it when they mother hugs them in public!"

Your minister's answer: "It is better to give than receive."

Your best friend's answer: "You are so lucky to have Chuck and the kids! Believe me when I say that if you were to get run over by the bread truck in front of the grocery next Tueday at 1:30PM, I'd leave Leroy and happily take your place..."

You see, your needs, those feelings that you have been pushing down, down, deep down are at the root of your family's unhappiness. They sense your selfishness - your unhappiness - and that effects them. It even means that their underwear isn't as white as it could be. And it is all your fault.

Its your fault your husband enjoys collecting knives and guns. That your daughter isn't prepared to be good wife to her future husband, and it's also your fault that your son will grow up to be more famous under the stage name of "Formica Dinette" than he could have been as a doctor or lawyer.

And we don't mean to add to your burden, but you are just too hard on others. Take your next door neighbors. They smile when they see you out side hanging your luandry, but they often wonder if you drink alone. Not that they have smelled liquor on your breath - why everyone knows that you are a tea totaller - but when they look at you you seem to give off the aura of someone other than yourself. That accounts for their concern for your family, and it also explains why they never loan you things when you ask.

If you just had an anchor - something to help you get through the day. A little helper that would make it all better.

Now curl up with a copy of Housewife Magazine and read up on everything else that happens when you put your petty, insiginificant "needs" before anyone elses.The Cool Cookiehttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-1796411634997211046.post-71266593709680434282011-03-12T21:47:00.005-05:002011-03-14T10:25:35.351-04:00SSUWAT, June 1970

You know, we all have to start someplace.

For Stirred Straight Up With A Twist (SSUWAT), that start began in the polished underground of the bon vivant life style that was so 1960. Oh, it was nothing like Mad Men - SSUWAT was real. It was cool by being hot. It was clean, with a bit of a well placed tattered edge. It was Brooks Brothers and Bon Wit Teller, and not at all Sears Roebuck or - God forbid - Montgomery Wards.

But like all good things, it ended when Kennedy was shot, when Barry Goldwater was nominated and when we lost Stuckey's. The magazine's founder, a Mr. TJB left the periodical when it financiers wanted an article on the versitility of caftans. Mr. TJB refused, stating that caftans we less about fashion and more about loungewear. Unable to sway opinion with the financier, the editor left for London, Julie London, that is.

By June 1970, this was all that was left. Gone were the Martini, the Manhattan and the Gimlet, and hello Long Island Ice Tea, White Russian and something called the Sloe Gin Fizz. And oh, yes. Your Homosexual just wasn't for doing your hair - he was also for parading around. At least you knew why his ass was all chaffed and chapped.

On the cover this month was the most frightening thing to invade the US since locusts swarmed into Oklahoma during the dust bowl: Tina Brown. That's her on the cover. A west-end purse made from a sows ear. Of course she's not the worst thing to hit American periodicals - Mad Magazine forced to accept advertising is that, but she really knows how to shit on everything. Thank God for the plastic surgery on her face, which hasn't looked this good in ages.

Truth is, Tina's face is so tight that she can only smile when she sits down.

In the 1990s SSUWAT was retaken by Mr. TJB in a daring move. He's modernized, fashioned and returned the venerable publication back to his roots. Its credited with making Mad Men really mad for the 1960s.

Gone forever are the articles that made no sense: Chita Rivera Frosts Her Hair and How Polyester Fuels the Jet Set. They have replaced by tasty morsels on all things you need to know, both for fashion and for witty repartee should you decide to sit down with your friends and have an old fashioned chin wag.

Thank God for Mr. TJB, wherever he may be!The Cool Cookiehttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-1796411634997211046.post-80090573964635439752011-03-09T13:50:00.002-05:002011-03-09T14:23:54.238-05:00Real Life Men's Stories, September 1961

My father wasn't a happy man. Oh, he had everything that should have made him happy. A wife, three children, two new Impala's in the garage that he paid cash for right off the show room floor.

But what he didn't have was excitement, and he wasn't an object of desire.

The people behind this magazine knew that. And they knew that if he didn't have it in real life, he could live it vicariously through their monthly rag.

Real Life Men's Stories was a magazine that broke all the rules - from their shocking and true exposes to their utter contempt for good grammar, this was a magazine that didn't have time for the niceties of fact checking or proof reading.

It had a mission and that mission was connect men with their visceral need to fight for what was good and right, even when confronted with the necessity of gun violence and women so ripe that they fell out of the tree and onto the hard cold ground of survival of the fittest.

In addition to jammed packed stories of wayward men and the women that made them leave the straight and narrow road of respectability, there were also loads of ads. We're talking thousands of tiny ads for every get rich quick scheme ever imagined. From X-Ray Spec's to Fish Farming For Fun (or Profit), this is the way the real world gets by, damn it.

Wives pooh-pooh'd these magazines, forcing men like my father to hide them under their beds. But it was worth it, damn it. The truth had to be told. Come the revolution, you'll need to know how to survive in the face of sex starved zombies and single digit IQ'd mercenaries. And after they drop the bomb, it could be you and your buddy alone on earth with hot tempered Virago's. They will need your seed to create new life, and you'll need to be ready to pick them off. This is the periodical that will show you how to get job number 1 done.

Thats what a real man's world is all about.The Cool Cookiehttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-1796411634997211046.post-34296696315092956362011-01-31T10:43:00.003-05:002011-02-01T13:35:26.766-05:00Norma DESMOND Magazine, March 1952

Lolly Parson's called it the publicity stunt of the ages - a bit of Kabuki theater designed to put famed silent screen star Norma Desmond back on the public radar screen, and boy did it ever. She shoots this guy for running out on her, and then her butler Max calls up silent screen comedian Harold Lloyd and asks what to do.

"Well," says Lloyd, "its a good thing she grabbed that prop gun that you keep in the house or you would have to buy stock in Bon Ami to clean up all the guts and blood. First, I'd get the slob out of the pool before he ruins the water, nurse him back to health in the maid's quarters. Next, call up Stretch Longstreet, no one remembers him or his films. Invite him over for coffee near the cabana - when Stretch's enlarged heart gives out from the caffeine, shove him into the pool and call the cops.

And thats what happened. And then there was all that emoting on the TV screens with Hedda reporting in the background and Lolly Parson's grinding her teeth at home. You know they got Miss Desmond off on a technicality, but by then she was wildly popular with everyone in the country, except Rose Kennedy.

And then, before you know it, Norma Desmond is back up on the screen; she's making movies and selling out theaters, and then launches her own monthly rag. It was so lush - measuring two feet by eighteen inches. Large splashy images, interviews with all the people that one would need to know to get ahead in the film business, and then there were the coupons! Who can forget those!

Even though she's been dead for forty years - she fell out of her famous bed and drowned in a dishpan of water and Epsom salts that she had been soaking her feet in before retiring for the evening - the magazine continues in a sort of sorts.

Sold to Faversham Magazines, and renamed DESMOND, it continued along being the fashionable publication that Norma had hoped it would be. Things changed in 2006 when Faversham was taken over by some lout from London who declared that print was dead. He spent down its capital on foolish things like sub-prime mortgages designed to give value added income to his share holders, and cheap Albanian hookers (as if there is any other kind) for his staff writers. Eventually milked drier than one of Miss Desmond's breasts, its remaining assets were sold to Drinnan Woolens who relaunched the magazine, sans the DESMOND name, as a site for people who loved to knit and Mitten Drinnen  it is today.

Of course, Norma would have been philosophical about it. Yeah, shooting that Joe guy was one smart move, but nothing beats a good dying scene in a movie.The Cool Cookiehttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-1796411634997211046.post-54179099103881915462011-01-25T13:32:00.002-05:002011-01-27T11:11:57.396-05:00Infomaniac Monthly, November 1950

The origins of Infomaniac Monthly (The Magazine for Bitches who need to know on a need to know basis) are murky, but the "coded" text, for those who didn't need to know it, was perplexing, to say the least. It's publisher was a real kitten with a whip who went by the name "Mistress MJ". Still it was one of the must reads in Ottawa by the territorial government, and said Queen Mary found its contents very subversive - yet she claimed she only read it for the coupons.

Every November the magazine held a contest and gave away either a McLaughlin Buick or a Meteor Niagara (later a LeMoyne). You know, those folks in Manitoba really love their LeMoynes. The only time the contest backfired was November of 1959 when the faithful readership almost rioted when the car give-a-way was a basic Frontenac sedan. Really!

Like all trends, the magazine got popular in the lower forty-eight when husband's began using the excuse that they "had to cross the Ambassador to get a copy of Infomaniac." When what they were really up to was visiting the titty bars in Windsor for a show and a quickie lap dance before heading home, the copy of Infomaniac covering their stained trousers.

It reached its frenzied peak in 1970, when the American talk show (of the same name) was hosted by David Suskind, and he invented Maria Muldare to "feltch her violin," and put on a show for the audience. After that elephant sat down in the living rooms of middle America, you could hear a pin drop. Now that the lid was off the box, and Pandora (and society, too) ran amok in its efforts to find a dictionary and look it up, and break the code. "Feltch. That's a funny word, isn't Andy," Aunt Bea was heard to say in an episode of the Andy Griffith Show.

Oddly, there was no definition for the word until a minister's housewife in the Quad Cities caught "feltching that chocolate pudding out of the container" at a church function. How unhygienic is that? Dessert? I'll pass.

Today, Infomaniac is a blog - electronic media media, they call it. New fangled like dental floss and stuff like that. And at it's essence, its back to being what it was meant to be - the place where Bitches who need to know on a need to know basis find out what it is that they to know.

Reading Thombeau's Weekly while on the beach in Cape Cod was one of mother's favorite pastimes because it made Rose Kennedy nuts. Of course, Mother loved the articles, but it was the way that its editor framed his opinion pieces that drove Eunice and Jack's mother crazy. Everything was logically free-form and Mrs. Kennedy couldn't wrap her mind around that.

"You know that when the children were young, I would set up a bulletin board with little articles of the day on the wall of the nursery," Rose would begin to blather on hoping Mother would take the chit-chat bait.

"That's nice," Mother would reply, riveted to an article on how Gloria Swanson taught Joe Kennedy to be a cunning linguist. "Really nice." Of course you would only get that type of information in Thombeau's, sandwiched in between pictures of the latest in honor guards wearing avant guard uniforms and recipes for rattlesnake stuffed filets.

And who can forget those crossword puzzles! Each puzzle was really hard - "MOMA and Dada" required that you knew the names of the mothers of the founders the Dadaist movement. Now that was one for the records - and if you were clueless enough to think that the puzzle was about baby talk, well, you missed that boat.

But if you completed the puzzles and found the code, and solved that insiders puzzle, then fabulous things could happen in your life.

The puzzle father completed (Bead's, Bangle's and Bible's) gave him the password to get into San Simeon for the weekend. And even then he had to show it to Hearst's butler to prove he had actually completed the puzzle in ink just to get in the door. But it was worth it; it's how I ended up with Cary Grant and Randolf Scott as my God parents.

An eclectic mix of articles, images and probing questions, it's daring expose "Your Manicurist, Friend or Fiend?" shocked California. It was a guaranteed seller at the newsstands - even housewives in Azusa and El Cerito kept it in the house because it made them feel as if they had arrived. Isn't that charming?

Of course Jackie made sure every room at the White House had the latest issue of Thombeau's on hand. Rose bore a stiff upper lip. She didn't get it, or the allure of Oleg Cassini (which Thombeau's reported on, in depth) and she "missed the only magazine that (she) could evah love," the long defunct Woman's Home Companion, Damn it!

It was daring, and it wasn't for everybody - and if it were, well then, it wasn't Thombeau's. And simply put, if you didn't get Thombeau's Weekly magazine, then you would never get Thombeau's Weekly. Savvy?

VOGUE Magazine has always been a thorn in the sides of women.

While "style" may be indestructible, it certainly goes out of favor in rapid fashion. One month everything is all bosoms and cleavage and the next month they expect you to be flat chested. Smoking is a sign of women's freedom, and then the next minute it makes one smell terribly bad. Bother.

Until the hatching of that Anna Wintour creature, Vogue was a magazine of real style and substance. Ms. Wintour has reduced it to an advertising monthly.

But back in its heyday, Vogue tackled some really difficult topics like "fem" odor, why it was better to keep the teeth you have instead of the type you put in a cup and the importance of looking good after childbirth ("No husband wants to comfort a hot sweaty dying woman who has exhausted her value to him.")

Of course Vogue has missed a few calls in its day. Its most notable mistake was promoting a full bosomy woman in April of 1922, then turning around and declaring the flat chested flapper the style icon of the decade. "It isn't like a men's collar that one can attach to a shirt, or toss away when it get dirty. Do the editors of Vogue not understand that a woman's bosom is attached?" wrote H.L. Mencken.

Needles to today, it still lurks on the nation's magazine stands, and in the homes of people who claim to love it, although the truth is, they only buy it because it makes them look fashionable when they carry it home.The Cool Cookiehttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-1796411634997211046.post-36784255505129879282010-12-28T11:19:00.003-05:002011-01-08T10:18:07.364-05:00Correspondence Monthly, Febraury 1921

Its hard to imagine, but once upon a time, letters to loved ones were amongst the most intimate and prized possessions. Now we throw our email in the trash bin before we even open it.

Correspondence Monthly, "The Journal of Informal Letters & Postcards" was once as common place as the Saturday Evening Post in American households, and just as highly regarded as that august publication. With its finger on the pulse of letter writing propriety, Correspondence Monthly set the pace for all that was fit to write between people.

The magazine was the first to suggest in 1850 that penpal relationships require registration "as to prevent the innappropriate communication betwixt unmarried people."

"We find that there is considerable evidence to worry about the outcome of an unmarried man and an unmarried woman communicating to one and other, blindly and without proper supervision. Suggestiveness and base familiarities, most certainly, could enter the communication leading to inappropriate actions, ultimately leading to an undesirable marriage, built upon a foundation of salacious yearnings and unmoderated lust...A national registry of these so called Pen Pals is suggested, however the chaperoning and censor of "Pen Pal" letters must be enacted immediately to save the moral fiber of the nation's young and innocents."

Well, there you have it.

Correspondence Monthly enjoyed great success until the forerunner of email - V-mail, during WWII - broke down all of the carefully crafted rules of writing ettiquette. Like the Axis powers were crused by the Allied Forces, the tissue thin nature of V-Mail, along with the encrochment of abbreviations doomed Correspondence Monthly to ultimate defeat and failure. It, along with other it's offspring (Love Letters Monthly, Penny Postcard Digest and the Journal of Greeting Cards) to moldering in the dank basements of second hand book stores and the trash heaps of history.The Cool Cookiehttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-1796411634997211046.post-55708106770733070622010-12-20T17:07:00.001-05:002010-12-26T10:15:29.656-05:00ALIBI, June 1956

ALIBI, The Magazine About the Escapades of Men was a well know periodical of the 1940s and 1950s, and provided a road-map for those who wanted to listen to that little voice inside of them and try things that they may not have considered before. Men, and the men who enjoyed the company of other men, found that ALIBI had its own special code - like reading between the lines, if you know what we mean. As popular in San Francisco as it was in Greenwich Village as it was in sassy New Orleans or morally righteous Oklahoma, ALIBI's core audience was broad and the magazine enjoyed great sales until an ALIBI sponsored party a New York City bar got out of control one night, and the purpose of the magazine was snuffed out in one paltry riot for equality.

Well you know that this one was nothing but trouble.

There have always been women who fall in love with the wrong man. A sizable percentage of women are drawn to men who are drawn to other women. These are the women who love too much. Then there are the women who fall for the guy who shares her adore, in men that is. Fag Hag Confidential was their magazine. A monthly expose of stories written by women just like you, who fall in love with a guy who would rather make goo-goo eyes at Guy Madison than look at your breasts. These men have needs, and they all look like Fess Parker. Well, thats an overstatement - a couple of guys had it bad for Wally Cox. But in the Fag Hag's mind, they are all the women that her "gay" will ever need. And truth be told, thats a true statement. But also truth be told, the guys never need these women as much as these women are willing to put out.

So Fag Hag Confidential fill that one lonely void that only another Fag Hag could understand - that she'll spend the rest of her life waiting for him, and he'll spend the rest of his life wishing that he could find a man as wonderful as she is, but not as needy...The Cool Cookiehttp://firstname.lastname@example.com

A 13 year old Bruce Cockburn fan, Martin Tielli went to his very first concert at Convocation Hall, University of Toronto. It was at this time he decided to become a musician. In Cockburn's band were Jon Goldsmith and Hugh Marsh.
In 1992, Hugh Marsh was asked by Intrepid Records to record The River, for the album Back to the Garden: A Tribute to Joni Mitchell. He was joined by long-time compatriots Jonathan Goldsmith and Rob Piltch; Mary Margaret O'Hara was to be the vocalist. Meanwhile, Martin Tielli of the Rheostatics was playing lead guitar in Chris Tait's band "Big Faith," with whom Hugh often played. When Mary Margaret couldn't do the Joni Mitchell song, Hugh asked Martin to sing it. On the album the group was called "Hugh Marsh and Friends." The song was improvised live in the studio a few times; a favorite take was picked and embellished with minimal overdubs.
Ralph Benmergui liked the track so much, he asked the group to perform it live on his show "Friday Night" on CBC (1993). Again, they improvised a new version with no rehearsal (intentionally). Afterwards, in the green room, the four decided they should record an album together. The performance was later chosen for the "Friday Night with Ralph Benmergui" season highlights show.
During nights on off hours at a jingle studio, they wrote and recorded Circo under the moniker Nick Buzz. A song or more a night, from scratch to finished – again based on live improvisations. This, and the absence of any drummer or percussionist, were the band's only mandate. Tielli also saw it as a chance to put down his guitar and focus on just singing. The album was released in 1996 through Dark Light Music. It was re-released in 2002 by Six Shooter Records, with the music magazine Chart calling it a "virtually unheard-of 1996 classic."
There were no Circo promotional tours. The band did not play live.
Until 2003. The four got together again to perform four songs by Arnold Schoenberg for Andrew Burashko's Art of Time Ensemble project at the Glenn Gould Theatre in Toronto. These songs were recorded and became Arnold Schoenberg and the Berlin Cabarets, the second album in Martin's Subscription Series, released in 2004 on Six Shooter Records.
Although they performed together off and on with Art of Time, Nick Buzz as a group would not play live again until October 2010, when they were asked to perform at a fundraiser for Loop Gallery, at Lula Lounge in Toronto. That led to a series of concerts at Lula over the next few months. Which led to more new songs and the notion of an album was inevitable.
Thus was born A Quiet Evening at Home, which may be anything but... Songs about matadors, sub-aqueous royalty and an enlightened Italian mutation sit along side meditations on winter in the Canadian wilderness and the Jaques Brel classic Ne Me Quitte Pas.
In spite of (or perhaps due to) their avant-garde leanings and sporadic output, the band has achieved cult status. Even with decades between releases, the talented eccentrics of Nick Buzz make strange and beautiful music that never fails to make an impression.

Neoton Família (also known as Neoton in Spain, Newton in West Germany, Neoton Familie in East Germany and Newton Family in the rest of the world) was one of the most successful Hungarian pop-bands, their carrier spanning several decades, with changes in line-up. Most active from 1977 to 1989, they released albums and singles and toured in 25 foreign countries, including Germany, France, Spain, Netherlands, Italy, Brazil, Argentina, Mexico, Canada, Cuba, Japan, India, South Korea, also producing many of the best-known hits in the country. From 1979 to 1989 the band sold over 6 millions records in Hungary and about 1.5 millions records in other countries and takes on this indicator second place behind the famous band Omega.
Achingly gorgeous and hauntingly stark, Mark Hollis' self-titled debut picks up where he left off with Talk Talk's Laughing Stock seven years earlier, re-emerging at the nexus point where jazz, ambient, and folk music collide. It's quite possibly the most quiet and intimate record ever made, each song cut to the bone for maximum emotional impact and every note carrying enormous meaning. Hollis paints his music in fine, exquisite strokes, with an uncanny mastery of atmosphere that's frequently devastating. And if anything, his singularly resonant voice has grown even more plaintive with the passage of time, which – combined with the understated artistry and minimalist beauty of tracks like "The Colour of Spring" and "Watershed" – makes Mark Hollis a truly unique and indelible listening experience. His obvious understanding of the power of silence aside, one prays he doesn't again wait for the seven-year itch to strike before returning.
Having steered the mothership and worked as a triggerman for the Godfather of Soul, storied sax man Maceo Parker now brings his own tight rhythm and soul sound to vinyl (er, plastic) in undeniable proof that he's still "got it." Combining his smoking horn with the backing of fellow legends such as trombonist Fred Wesley and new bloods such as son Corey (whose intermittent raps colorfully enhance the album's youthful vibrance), Maceo works through the familiar funk and soul lines of his Parliament and JB days and adds new twists to such classics as Marvin Gaye's "Let's Get It On" and "Inner City Blues," Stevie Wonder's "Tell Me Something Good," and Sly Stone's "Sing a Simple Song," while offering a number of his own well-orchestrated and well-seasoned compositions. "Youth of the World" features Maceo on a lead vocal reminiscent of Kool Moe Dee or Kurtis Blow, while "Do You Love Me" rises like Tower of Power before the sultry Chicago lines of closer "Going in Circles".

FRANK helps you find out everything you might want to know about drugs (and some stuff you don't). For friendly, confidential advice, Talk to FRANK.
The Drug
The Effects
The Risks
The Law
What is AH-7921?
AH-7921 is a man-made (synthetic) opioid (an opium) or heroin like drug. Like all opioids it can reduce feelings of pain and can produce feelings of euphoria, relaxation and sleepiness. But it has been linked to a number of deaths across Europe, including in the UK.
AH-7921 was developed by a pharmaceutical company in the 1970s, with animal tests establishing that it is similar to morphine.
However, research into AH-7921 never progressed to human tests and there is no published research on its effects and toxicity on humans.
AH-7921 is normally available as a white powder.
How do people take AH-7921?
As a powder AH-7921 could be snorted or 'bombed' (rolled up in a cigarette paper and swallowed) or placed under the tongue. There have also been reports that people have used AH-7921 by putting it up their bum or by injecting it.
What are the effects of AH-7921?
As with all opiates the effects of taking AH-7921 include:
- Pain relief,
- Euphoria or well-being,
- Relaxation, and
- Sleepiness
Users have also reported occasional itching, nausea and tremors.
What are the risks of taking AH-7921?
As AH-7921 is an opiate the risks and side-effects from taking it include:
- Constipation.
- Itching.
- Nausea and retching.
- Lethargy.
- Dizziness or fainting.
- Suppression of normal breathing, and risk of respiratory arrest (when you stop breathing altogether).
- There is a greater risk of overdose and death if you mix AH-7921 with other drugs that suppress breathing such as alcohol, benzodiazepines (like diazepam or Valium), and/or other opiate drugs (like heroin).
- If you inject AH-7921 you can do nasty damage to your veins and arteries, and this can lead to gangrene (death of body tissue, usually a finger, toe or a limb), blood clots/thromboses and to infections.
- There are also risks from sharing needles, syringes and other equipment used for injecting – with the danger of developing serious tissue infections or sharing viral infections like hepatitis B, hepatitis C or HIV.
AH-7921 and alcohol
Mixing any opiate with alcohol, or with other sedatives such as benzodiazepines, can have serious consequences: an overdose is more likely, and this can lead to a coma or respiratory failure and death.
FRANK is currently not aware of any evidence that shows that AH-7921 is being cut (having powders added to bulk them up and increase profits) or that it has been contaminated during production and shipment.
However, just because AH-7921 isn't illegal, doesn't mean you can be sure of what you are actually buying. The AH-7921 you buy could be mixed with other 'legal highs' or an illegal drug; testing of other 'legal highs' has shown that they sometimes contain additional substances which are illegal.
Can you get addicted to AH-7921?
Animal testing and user reports suggest that, as with other opiates, you can build a tolerance and become dependent to AH-7921.
AH-7921 and the law
AH-7921 became a Class A drug In January 2015. This means that it is illegal to have for yourself, give away or sell:
•Possession of AH-7921 can get you up to seven years in jail and/or an unlimited fine.
•Supplying someone else, even your friends, with AH-7921 can get you up to life imprisonment and/or an unlimited fine.
If the Police catch you with AH-7921, they'll always take some action. This could include a formal caution, arrest and prosecution.
Did you know?
- Mixing drugs with driving is illegal and can be very dangerous. It may lead to you having an accident and injuring yourself or your friends.
- You could still be unfit to drive the day after using AH-7921.
- You can get a heavy fine, be disqualified from driving or even go to prison if you take AH-7921 and it affects how you drive.

The Leafs might be saving up for a defenceman instead, but if John Tavares doesn't sign long-term when the free-agent floodgates open on Canada Day his future will dominate the off-season until it's resolved.
An entertaining offence, hopefully led by an injury-free Ricky Ray, and a few home wins would go a long way in helping make Toronto's CFL team relevant in this competitive sports market.
George McPhee will have his pick of the NHL scraps this week but his focus will be — and should be — more about stockpiling draft picks and assets to trade than about being competitive right out of the gate.
One move can make a big difference on a level NHL playing surface.
Top to bottom, Pittsburgh's lineup might not match up with the very best in NHL lore. But the way they work on and off the ice ranks right up there with the elite in hockey history.
Predators prove anything can happen on road to Stanley Cup, while Vegas expansion, Olympic no-go and Quebec City deep freeze speak volumes about league's thinking now and for the future.
The third straight Warriors-Cavaliers final highlights the enormous gap between the NBA and NHL, where the lowest-ranked playoff team has a shot at the Stanley Cup. It's hard for most fans to cheer when the outcome's so rarely in doubt.

Dr Jan Lauritzen
School/Department: Life Sciences, Pharmacy & Chemistry
Position: Senior Lecturer
Born in Strasbourg, France, Jan was educated in France, Germany and the UK.
He graduated in neuroscience from St. Catharine's College Cambridge in 1997, followed by an MPhil on computational modeling of contrast processing in the mammalian visual cortex.
Jan completed the research for his PhD (Contrast Normalisation and the Visual Coding of Contrasts in Natural Images) in 2001 in the Department of Physiology at Cambridge.
He worked as a Lecturer in Vision Science in the School of Biomedical Sciences at the University of Ulster from 2001-2008, contributing to teaching of the Optometry degree programme and other courses across the school, and as a member of the Vision Science Research Group.
Jan is currently a Senior Lecturer in the School of Life Sciences at Kingston University.
Educational and Professional Qualifications
- 1998 - 2001 PhD Biological Sciences, University of Cambridge
- 1997 - 1998 MPhil Biological Sciences, University of Cambridge
- 1994 - 1997 MA(Cantab) Natural Sciences, University of Cambridge
Research Interests
Dr Lauritzen's research focuses on human psychophysics of early visual processes in the retina, primary visual cortex and extrastriate areas, and computer modelling of those processes. In collaborations, Dr Lauritzen also has a wider multidisciplinary interest in computer modelling of physiological processes in general and the design of psychophysical protocols for sensory physiology and experimental psychology.
Computer modelling:
The early steps in vision are mediated by cells with relatively simple receptive fields that have been well described. However, computer models using such receptive fields nevertheless provide poor predictions of psychophysical performance in tasks thought to be mediated exclusively or predominantly in the retina and primary visual cortex (V1), especially when the test image is complex, such as a natural image. Computer modelling of the connections between cells in V1 involved in contrast gain control mechanisms and responses from outside the classical receptive field has been used to improve prediction of psychophysical results in contrast discrimination tasks involving natural images.
A similar computer model has also been used to demonstrate that contrast gain control can adequately account for differences in the contrast in natural images produced by different lighting conditions (diffuse and direct) , thus providing a form of 'contrast constancy'.
Human psychophysics
Contrast discrimination tasks, where human observers are detect a simple contrast stimulus before a masking background, provide well-understood, predictable thresholds when the mask is also simple. However as the mask becomes more complex, thresholds become rapidly less predictable, and for natural or pseudo-natural images results can be counter-intuitive. For example, masking experiments on natural images have shown that, when an image is filtered to remove the contrast that should optimally mask a particular contrast channel, thresholds often increase (i.e. the task becomes harder). Intracortical interactions are thought responsible, and computer models are being used to determine the nature of these interactions, in view of predicting psychophysical thresholds correctly for different types of stimuli with a single model.
Current research focuses on designing psychophysical techniques to separate different aspects of visual processing in a variety of conditions affecting vision, for example identifying optical, retinal and cortical contributions to poor visual performance in Down syndrome, and investigating the effect of colour on the visual processing of temporally and spatially structured stimuli in amblyopia and dyslexia.

For those experienced with click2pay. Do you have to wire money from a bank account or can you use a credit card? And what is the deal with the star system ?
i would love to use betslips more states good pay out im having trouble with click to pay
credit card
I like Betslips better but I still use the coin site if its after 12pm. I have never had a problem getting paid from the coin site and a friend of mine hit for $13500 on Pick 4 and was paid from the the site however thats not to say others haven't had any problems. Like I said I prefer Betslips because their concentration is on lottery but if its a certain time and I want to get numbers in I'll put them in on the coin site (its unfortunate Ca***Sports doesnt support all the states)
I have had some experience with betslips and I like it because of various state lottos available and very good service for the price. The following is based on my experience so far and what I read in FAQs.
If one has the account balance which is enough to cover whatever amount s/he wants to purchase, there is no minumum purchase requirement. CAN purchase $1 or, I guess, even $.25. But, if account balance is not enough, as indicated in FAQs, there is minimum $10 credit card charge.
So, assume that one has the online account balance of $0 and wish to order $5. In that case, $10 would be charged to the credit card and $5 would be credited to his/her online account, whose balance will be now $5.
I think that should be correct. Please correct me if I am wrong.

This is from "What's for Dinner?" Canada and the World Backgrounder. Waterloo: Oct 2006.Vol.72, Iss. 2; pg. 26.
Chickens raised for their meat are killed within six to seven weeks of hatching. They are kept in tiny cages and are fed a diet of concentrated nutrients laced with antibiotics and other drugs. The animals fatten up so fast that sometimes their legs can't support them; some become crippled under their own weight and die within inches of water and food.
The biggest player in this business is Tyson Foods, which is also a huge beef and pork processing company. Based in Arkansas, Tyson has annual revenue of more than $26 billion, and it plays hardball with its workers.
- In the fall of 2005, there was a bitter, and sometimes violent, strike at Lakeside Packers (owned by Tyson) in Brooks, Alberta. The company fought long and hard to keep the United Food and Commercial Workers (UFCW) union out of the plant that processes 40 percent of Canada's beef. Eventually, the UFCW won a first contract with the company. The Brooks experience is not unusual. Tyson Foods has a history of slashing the wages and benefits of its workers and opposing union attempts to organize its plants.
- In 2003, Tyson was found guilty of pumping untreated wastewater from a poultry plant into a tributary that empties into the Lamine River in Missouri.
- In 2001, the company was indicted for conspiracy to smuggle illegal aliens from Mexico and Central America to work in 15 of its U.S. poultry processing plants; three employees pled guilty and were fired.
- Tyson has also been found guilty of discrimination against minorities in hiring, of serious safety and health violations, and of bribing government officials.
- In 2000, Multinational Monitor named Tyson one of the "Ten Worst Corporations of 1999" citing seven worker deaths at its facilities in just seven months. Tyson also made the Corporate Crime Reporter's list of the ten worst corporations in 1999 in the U.S. In 2002 Tyson Foods earned a place on one of the Sierra Club's "Ten Least Wanted" lists.
- Tyson makes annual profits in the range of $400 million, a fact noted by other corporations in the food business.
Jeffrey Moussaieff Masson writes in his 2003 book The Pig Who Sang to the Moon "The suffering of almost all farm animals is unique... beyond... our language to describe or explain. If we give it no thought, and yet eat them for our meals, are we not morally blind, ethically dumb, and humanly remiss?"

Darren Solomon spends his days writing music for commercials, TV and movies at Big Foote Music + Sound, working with many top session musicians in New York City. Another outlet is his cool electro pop band, Science for Girls, which incorporates a handful of singer/songwriters from the area. Lately, he has also created an online collaboration for anyone anywhere to join in composing a musical piece. InBFlat.net is a collection of 20 YouTube videos by professional musicians as well as everyday enthusiasts, using a wide array of instruments. Solomon set the parameters based on a 1960s minimalist composition called "In C" by Terry Riley. Here, each video is under two minutes long and in the brass-friendly key of B flat. The webpage features performance by musicians all over the globe playing traditional trumpet, clarinet and guitar along with non-traditional pairings such as harmonium and synthesizers, even a Nintendo DS. The human voice is also part of the plan, both the spoken word and sung vocals. By choosing a few or all 20, a visitor can create their own piece of music as well as controlling the mix by adjusting the volume of each video.
In a recent interview with NPR, Solomon explains that the idea came after learning how YouTube allows 20 videos to play simultaneously. To bring people together online who normally wouldn't be in the same room had its appeal as well. He calls it his digital Web 2.0 tribute to Riley, yet this project is another example of how the internet has further expanded the simple notion of collaboration.

Here is a video showing the reaction of Ruben Buijs' first time listening to any Steven Wilson song. In this case, it's "Drive Home" from the album "The Raven That Refused To Sing (and Other Stories)". I encourage you to watch it all of the way through as I think you may have a similar response.
New Music Monday: A Song Started In 2011
Here is a song that I first started writing back in 2011, thus the rather plain title "2011 09 01". The title and date associated with it has no meaning; it's simply the format I use when creating project files.
Yeah, it sometimes takes awhile to finish a piece of music. 🙂
When I write, sometimes a bass line inspires me. At other times a particular sound inspires me. It's different for every song. If I remember correctly, this one started with the bass line and grew from there.
It's only at the demo stage and I don't think I'll take it any further. Nevertheless, I figured why not let it see the light of day. So here it is. I hope you enjoy it.
Fleeting Moments
The other evening while walking my dachshund, Roxy, the sunset was stunningly gorgeous. There was a thick group of clouds coming in from the northwest, their tops heavy gray, their bottoms glowing purplish red. Would have made for a great picture for this blog post and social media if I'd had my iPhone with me. But I didn't.
For a second I was disappointed and irritated that I'd left my iPhone at the house. But then I considered that what really irritates me is feeling that compulsion to digitally memorialize every moment, no matter how fleeting. It irritates me when at concerts folks are staring intently at their smartphone screens trying to record a crappy video that they likely will never watch instead of just enjoying the live performance in front of them. Instead of living in the moment, the moment of reality, the moment of actual experience, we're trying to save it artificially for later in order to gain some online likes, shares and comments. Ugh.
I get it, the need and desire to record life's important moments. And I'm not saying we shouldn't at times attempt to do so. But here's a thought: let some of life's fleeting moments be just that. Fleeting. No picture, no video, no recording can ever truly capture what our eyes and ears and the rest of our senses can.
I guess what I'm trying to say is let's live more in the moment rather than for the moment. Let's experience life instead of feeling compelled to constantly document it, saving it for a later time we may not get around to experiencing.
'Til next year.
Scale and Proportion
One of my assignments earlier this year had a goal of exhibiting distorted scale and proportion. This is what I came up with.
Okay, a surrealist I'm not. And it's in no way a sophisticated example of photo editing/blending. But I do find it funny. Each time I go back and look at it, I get this little grin on my face. I think it's the dinosaur riding the bicycle. Get's me every time!
Value and Shape
This is something from a recent assignment that was an interesting exercise in shape and value. This project emphasizes the use of curvilinear shapes, specifically circles of various sizes and values. Additionally, there is extensive use of the number 75, and to a lesser extent 11, throughout the work.
Each circle is 75% the size of the next largest circle starting at 11″ for the largest circle.
Circles 1, 3 and 5 (from largest to smallest) are values of black (CYMK) that are 56, 75 and 100 respectively. 75 is of course 75% of 100 and 56 is 75% of 75.
Conversely, circles 2, 4 and 6 (from largest to smallest) are values of black (CYMK) that are 34, 19 and 11 respectively. I chose 11 for the smallest circle to coincide with the size of the largest circle. 19 is 75% more than 11 and 34 is 75% more than 34.
My goal was to achieve movement through space by placing each circle at either the 0, 90, 180 or 270 degree points of the larger circle it sits within. I did this in a clockwise manner which gives it a swirl effect. I used various values of black to bring unity to the overall design. And instead of using lines, I used value to define each shape.
Sunday Stroll
Newsletter Mockup: Town of Spring Hope
A while back, I was assigned to design a mock informational newsletter promoting a rural North Carolina town. I chose Spring Hope as the primary subject and included text and stats from other previously published articles on various websites noting the source for each.
The main annual event is the Spring Hope Pumpkin Festival, held the first weekend of October, so I chose earth tones to create an autumnal feel to the entire spread. The intent would be to distribute the newsletter to residents and visitors prior to and the day of the Pumpkin Festival in order to promote living in and visiting the town.
I am pleased with the way it turned out, particularly the color selections. The text alignment was a bit tricky in spots, but with a little time and patience, it turned out rather well.
'Til next time!
Starman Portrait
Back in Spring of this year, I had to create a portrait of a celebrity utilizing only typography. This assignment was due a few weeks after the passing of David Bowie and I thought his iconic appearance would make for an interesting piece. I chose the word "Starman" from the "The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars" album and used the font Impact.
"Self Portrait" Collage
For a recent class, I was required to assemble a self-portrait collage. The final piece shown below reflects my personality in that music is a huge part of my life and has been my creative outlet for several decades. You'll notice that this is a symbolic self-portrait rather than a literal interpretation of my actual appearance.
Now for a bit of explanation of the bits and pieces:
• The large "W" in the corner denotes my last name.
• The large photo on the right is of Steven Wilson who is my favorite modern musician and artist, one from whom I draw much inspiration and whom I slightly resemble (glasses, long hair, beard). So I used him as a personal likeness.
• The spigot is representative of pouring out many ideas from my mind, capturing them via recordings over the course of a lifetime into a catalog of songs.
• Not being a professional artist/musician, I'm required to project a certain business-like persona in order to make a living.
• Nevertheless, death is the inevitable end of us all which waits at the end of the board.
I arranged this so that someone looking at it will view it from left to right, life to death. A fellow classmate suggested that this would make for a good album cover. Yeah, I think she's right. 🙂

A celebration penalty after Smith's score, coupled with a good return, allowed the Eagles quarterback to direct the decisive drive of the contest, capped with a 13-yard touchdown toss to Kevin Challenger to propel No. 4 Boston College to a 27-14 victory over the Irish. In front of another sellout at Notre Dame Stadium on Saturday afternoon, the Irish gave the fans a lot to cheer for in the final 25 minutes of the contest. But another slow start was too much too overcome as Notre Dame dropped to 1-6 on the season and the Eagles have now won five straight games in the series.
How bad has it been in the first half for the Irish? Notre Dame has been outscored 120-24 in the first 30 minutes of action in 2007. The Irish were down 20-0 after Ryan hit Andre Callender with a 9-yard scoring strike in the third quarter. Head coach Charlie Weis has tried almost everything to get his team to start faster out of the gates. Despite quarterback Evan Sharpley's gallant comeback attempt in the second half, Notre Dame was behind the eight ball early again and it cost them for their sixth loss of the year.
"I think that we had a chance in this game," Weis said. "We had a chance in this game. But you know what, the bottom line is they won 27-14, and if I sit there and say, 'God, if we just would have been better on that snap or if we would have hit this one pass or we didn't get a penalty,' all those things count. All those plays count the same.
"So rather than sitting here and making excuses, which is never my deal, I think that I have to figure out a way of getting it done better, not celebrate, not throw the interception, get a better snap in that situation, tie those things together because we are not the type of team at this point that's just going to go up and down the field against somebody. So we have to play a more error-free game."
After the Eagles went up 20-0, there was some grumbling about another blowout defeat. Boston College had been dominating the contest in every facet and Notre Dame was quite lucky to be down just 20 points. At that point in the game, Weis decided to insert Sharpley at the quarterback for Jimmy Clausen.
The freshman signal caller, under constant pressure for most of the day, was not getting the job done. Clausen finished 7-of-20 for 60 yards and two interceptions. The last pickoff by Tyronne Pruitt was returned to the Notre Dame 11-yard line and set up the touchdown reception by Callender, the running back's third of the contest. Weis said a combination of Clausen's ineffectiveness and being banged up made the move to Sharpley an easy one.
"The question is is the ineffectiveness caused by being banged up," Weis pondered. "Part of the ineffectiveness, you could see he just wasn't -- I'm not making excuses, I'm just saying I didn't see him fresh. At that point I felt going with a fresh Evan was just the way to go."
It didn't take long for Sharpley to ignite the struggling offensive attack. The junior quarterback led the Irish down the field 79 yards in seven plays, capped when Sharpley found Robby Parris on a post route over the middle for a 19-yard touchdown. It cut the deficit to 20-7. The 79 yards matched the total output for the Notre Dame offense up to that point.
The next series is when Notre Dame got back into the game. On a 3rd-and-7, Ryan dropped back and was under pressure. The Boston College quarterback threw a pass into the crowded middle of the field. Waiting for the ball was Smith. The freshman outside linebacker grabbed the interception and ran past the Eagles offense for a 25-yard touchdown to cut the lead to 20-14. It was the first interception return for a score by a Notre Dame freshman in 31 years. Another big play occurred when Smith crossed the end zone.
After the freshman scored, Smith was mobbed by his teammates. The celebration was so excessive that the referees flagged Notre Dame for a 15-yard penalty. That forced the Irish to kick off from the 15-yard line instead of the 30. Boston College returned a pooch kickoff to the Irish 44. Five plays later, Ryan turned the good field position into gold when he found Challenger for the backbreaking touchdown.
"I'll blame me for that because the bottom line is I'm responsible for the discipline of our football team," Weis said. "Sure, we could sit there and say about these guys going out there and being fired up, but the bottom line is it's my team and we got that penalty and now we kick off and they get the ball in plus territory."
Notre Dame tried over and over again to make it a one-score game. The best chance occurred with just under six minutes to go in the fourth quarter. After a fourth down conversion to Robby Parris earlier in the drive and a scrambling effort to find John Carlson for nine yards to set up 4th-and-1 at the Boston College 13, the Irish converted. Sharpley hit Parris on a play action fake touchdown pass to make it 27-20 for the moment. But a holding penalty on Michael Turkovich negated the touchdown and a chance for Notre Dame to make a final stand. Sharpley's next pass was incomplete, as was the chance for the comeback.
"I went from feeling pretty good about myself and about the call and feeling pretty good about our chances to seeing the flag," Weis said. "And without seeing the call, hey, I can watch the officials all I want but that still puts us 27-21 and we still end up losing. I would have liked to see what would happen, but I didn't see the call enough to sit there and say anything about it."
Sharpley's final numbers were 11-of-29 for 135 yards, a touchdown and no interceptions. The junior quarterback was sacked twice, the only two of the game. Clearly, the team moved the ball better when Sharpley was in the contest. After the game, Weis declined to make any quick judgment on who would start next weekend's game against Southern California. Whoever starts has a tough challenge to improve the offensive numbers. Notre Dame rushed for 27 yards on 21 attempts and scored just one touchdown.
"I think that we were a little bit hot and cold," Weis said of his offense. "We made a few plays out there, made a few in the first half, a couple big ones. The bottom line is we have no touchdowns, no points. I thought Jimmy was banged up pretty good and didn't have great zip. I told him I'd give him the first drive of the second half to see what he had, and he came up and threw that early pick, and I just felt at that time a fresh Evan was the way to go. He gave us a spark and came out and made some plays, especially in that first drive, and he made some nice throws in the second half, but the bottom line is I think we're hot and cold."
Boston College did not waste anytime getting on the scoreboard. On the Eagles first possession, BC went 73 yards in five plays and got into the end zone when Callender scored the first of his three touchdowns on the afternoon from seven yards out. In the second quarter, the Eagles got a break when Notre Dame punter Geoff Price's knee was ruled down after a poor snap from J.J. Jansen. Ryan moved the team 41 yards in eight plays, capped when Callender barreled across the goal line from a yard out to make it 13-0.
In the first half, it was all Boston College. The Eagles outgained Notre Dame 263-79 in the first 30 minutes of action. Ryan was 18-of-26 for 169 yards in the first half and finished 32-of-49 for 291 yards. The Heisman Trophy candidate wasn't spectacular but was efficient in methodically moving the Boston College team down the field.
