There is a moment in "Blue Valentine" where Ryan Gosling's character, Dean, is walking on the Brooklyn Bridge and trying to get his girlfriend, Cindy, played by Michelle Williams, to reveal a secret.
The film's writer-director, Derek Cianfrance, originally wrote the scene in a straightforward manner, but when it came to shooting it, he told Williams not to tell Gosling the secret no matter what. He told the actor he had to do whatever it took to find out.
They shot for an hour in fading light, but no matter what he did, Gosling couldn't get Williams to give up what she was hiding. Finally out of frustration, the 30-year-old actor climbed to the top of the safety fence. There was no net or stunt double, and no one on the crew knew what was going on. At that point, Williams gave it up, and down Gosling came as producer Jamie Patricof stormed onto the set to shut down filming.
"That was dumb," admits the soft-spoken Gosling, casually dressed in sweater, jeans and boots and looking nothing like a wild man.
He explains: "The sun was going down and we were losing the shot. It wasn't until I was climbing over the fence that I look down and it was like looking at my death. That's how much the director managed to blur the lines for us between fantasy and reality."
"Blue Valentine," which took 12 years for Cianfrance to bring to the screen, is a gritty and uncompromising exploration of a contemporary relationship. It shifts between two periods of the couple's time together - the beginning of the romance when Dean and Cindy meet, to a few years later when they are married, facing money worries and the parents of a daughter (Faith Wladyka).
Dean is a bit of a dreamer who carries a ukulele around, happy to have someone to love, and while a worker and provider, he has little ambition. After six years together, he and Cindy, a nurse trying for a better job, find themselves moving in different directions.
In order to transform the characters, Cianfrance had the two actors live in a house during the day for a month.
"We fought all day long," says Gosling, who grew up in Canada. "That was our job. It really helped age us. In the beginning of the film we were free and in the present-day part we were stuck in this house."
This was a unique style of working for the actor, who talks about how obsessed the director could be - how Cianfrance wore the same pair of pants for a year because he thought they brought him luck.
"He is crazy - but crazy in the best sense," Gosling says. "I realized at this point that I don't want to work with anybody who is not. ... It's invigorating for everyone involved because he's so passionate about what he's doing."
The methods may seem extreme, but both Gosling, who was nominated for an Oscar for his role in "Half Nelson," and Williams received Golden Globe nominations in the best dramatic actor and actress categories, respectively. But "Blue Valentine" generated a buzz in another way when it was slapped with an NC-17 rating by the Motion Picture Association of America because of its sexual content. After a final appeal by The Weinstein Company's Harvey Weinstein, the film is now rated R. It opened in theaters Wednesday.
When we talked, the rating hadn't been overturned, but Gosling says that he wasn't totally surprised by the initial ruling.
"I think it's an insult to Michelle. ... From what I understand they think it's too real," he says, referring to the sexual content in the film. "It's a damaging message that (the MPAA is) sending - that women can be portrayed in a sexual context that's forced or involves some type of political torture or violence and that's entertainment but ... if it's a woman receiving pleasure, it's pornographic."
Gosling calls "Blue Valentine" a romantic film that doesn't romanticize love. "It's an honest portrait of a couple that doesn't skip past the uncomfortable parts."
The actor, who is not married but was romantically linked to his "Notebook" co-star Rachel McAdams for three years, believes that most people can relate to Dean and Cindy - that in any relationship people move past the honeymoon period and can't keep up the image that they are trying to project of themselves.
"Suddenly you're exposing the bad and ugly bits with the good stuff, too," he says. "It's funny how we can accept kids for who they are - all their flaws are endearing. But we can't do that with ourselves or what we can do to each other."
As dark as "Blue Valentine" is on some levels, there are moments of humor. At one point when Cindy and Dean are on a date, Cianfrance had Gosling and Williams surprise each other.
Gosling says the director gave them a night to walk around and told them he would film whatever happened.
"I had this ukulele because I remember from that movie `Scarecrow' Al Pacino always had that present throughout the whole movie and you never knew why or what it was for until the end," says Gosling, a guitarist who has his own band, Dead Man's Bones. "I thought it was a nice detail, and I wanted to have my own version of that."
The actor never intended to play the uke, but when it became time to spring his surprise on Williams, he performed an old-timey version of "You Always Hurt the One You Love." The actress surprised him by starting to tap dance.
"I played it in that scene on a lark. Then it became the focus of the trailer," Gosling says. "Had I known, I would've worked on it."
Gosling, whose acting career began as a teen on "The Mickey Mouse Club" alongside Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera and Justin Timberlake, currently can also be seen in "All Good Things," the fictionalization of a notorious murder case co-starring Kirsten Dunst.
In April, he'll be seen in the comedy "Crazy, Stupid, Love" with Steve Carell and Emma Stone. Later in the year, Gosling will star in the action film "Drive," from Danish director Nicolas Winding Refn, which co-stars Carey Mulligan, Bryan Cranston and Ron Perlman. He'll also start filming the political drama "The Ides of March," an adaptation of the play "Farragut North," with George Clooney. Along the way, the actor plans to start work on a second album for Dead Man's Bones.
In "Drive" he plays an Hollywood stuntman, and it's the first action movie Gosling has done.
"It's a very kind of surreal take on the genre. I loved doing it, but I don't know how it's going to fly," says the actor. "It's more like a dream that turns into a nightmare."
That description might apply to "Blue Valentine" - which seems a far cry from the romantic "The Notebook," which helped make Gosling a hit among young women.
He likes to think, though, that Dean and Cindy survive and that the films would make a nice package together.
"Where `The Notebook' starts, that's where `Blue Valentine' leaves off," he says.

It seems entirely obvious: Doctors need to apologize for their errors, even if the patient didn't suffer irreparable harm. But in the real world of medicine, acknowledging responsibility is a dicey proposition. To most physicians it's tantamount to handing your head to a lawyer on a surgical tray. This fear of lawsuits is so potent that even the most ethical physicians want to clam up when issues of medical error arise. Apologies can often be considered evidence of fault. Depending on the state, there are some protections for apologies that express sympathy, but there is variation as to whether this extends to apologies that invoke responsibility for an error. Typically, the most that doctors can muster is, "I'm so sorry this happened."

Banana Chip Cookies
Another recipe for using up those bananas that are no longer yellow! Or those bananas that have just been chilling in the back of your freezer. It happens to eveyone and can only make banana bread so many times. I've been putting bananas in cookies for a while as vegan alternative to eggs but with these cookies the bananas are the lead not the support. I also kept it vegan figuring why mess with a good thing?!?
1/2 cup unsalted butter or non-dairy alternative (Earth Balance)
1/2 cup white sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 cup mashed banana
1/4 cup plain applesauce
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp salt
2 cups flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 cup dark chocolate chips
- Preheat oven to 350
- Cream together the butter and sugar until fluffy, about 10 minutes.
- Beat in the banana, applesauce, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt. Then slowly add in the flour and baking soda until just mixed, fold in the chocolate chips.
- Spoon tbsp sized drops on a cookie sheet, leaving space to spread.
- Bake for 15 minutes, or until golden brown.
i'm also proud to say that I made these while babywearing – slowly but surely figuring out this whole "mommy" thing. While in the mornings she easily goes down for a nap (or two) in the afternoon she greatly prefers to be in her Boba. Needless to say this makes me VERY thankful for our double oven as I can easily access the top part with little bending. I don't see myself wearing her if the baked good needs two hands but luckily cookies don't fall in that category!

Need to find a new home for your horse?
Before calling or emailing please read these four items:
1. If you're looking to retire your horse, we are probably not your first choice. There are special retirement facilities that are better suited for a lifetime retirement.
If the horse is having trouble getting around the pasture and needs daily pain medication just to walk, it might be time to let him go, especially if you cannot keep him yourself. If you need help with euthanasia information, our .info site has a special page.
We are very sorry, but we can't take every horse in every situation. We are limited by the funding that the public chooses to give to us to operate this program. If you'd like to see us expand capacity, consider giving financial support or becoming an active volunteer to so that the program can grow.
2. Help in selling/placing your horse directly
You're welcome to use our email list to place your horse in need. We put up a special "Tips to Sell Your Horse" page on our .info site just for people in your situation.
3. To maximize the chance we (or any other equine organization) may take your horse:
4. If after reading this you are still interested in Equihab accepting your horse, contact us to discuss the details.
Non-emergency intakes require Board of Director approval, which might take at least several business days.
Benefits of Equihab
We screen homes, do site checks, and maintain an ongoing relationship with the new home. You will hear updates about the horse via posting to the Web site.
If at any point the Equihab-placed horse is sent back for any reason, we will always take him/her back. It's a guaranteed home for the rest of his life.
We NEVER sell any horse to slaughter, auction, broker, dealer, etc. Horses do not leave until they find good homes.
We microchip all horses before they leave.
All horses are seen by the vet and all care & vaccinations are caught up.
We are a "no kill" type of shelter: we do not put down an animal that's been here awhile just to "make room"
The donation of a horse may be tax deductible, per the IRS code. Talk to your tax advisor. For horses with a higher value, you may need to get a professional horse appraiser to document his worth for IRS purposes. Again consult your tax advisor if you have any concerns. We are a 501c3 non-profit and all donations are tax deductible, per IRS code.
Contact us if you have any further questions.

Denying that her show is inspired by ABC's soap 'Revenge', Liz Heldens reveals the conception of the NBC new series, 'I was thinking, 'How can you do a undercover show with a female protagonist?' '
"Deception" has drawn comparison to "Revenge" due to its premise, in which a young woman lives among a wealthy family to uncover their dark secrets. Answering people's curiosity if the new drama is NBC's answer to the ABC soap, creator Liz Heldens revealed the real inspiration behind her show.
"Two of my favorite movies are 'Donnie Brasco' and 'The Departed'," Heldens said at the TCA winter press tour on Sunday, January 6. "I was thinking, 'How can you do a undercover show with a female protagonist?' " She added, "I asked myself, 'Could 'Donnie Brasco' and the movie 'Sabrina' have a baby?' That was how it happened."
To premiere Monday, January 7 at 10/9c, "Deception" stars Meagan Good as Detective Joanna Locasto, who tries to reconnect to the Bowers after their daughter and Joanna's friend Vivian (Bree Williamson) was found dead of an overdose. FBI agent Will Moreno (Laz Alonso), however, is convinced that the troubled girl's death was a homicide.
Vivian has two brothers, Edward (Tate Donovan) and Julian (Wes Brown). Speaking of his alter ego, Donovan admited, "Everyone thinks he's this horrible monster." As for Brown's character Julian, Good described him as "the bad boy. He is the one that the girls just love. He's got a little bit of a fiery temper."

Universidad de Veracruzana art students display their work at Atrium Gallery
April 14, 2011
Phil Brozynski
(630) 829-6094
Lisle, Illinois ~ Benedictine University and the College of DuPage have partnered to host a traveling exchange art exhibit which features a collection of works by printmaking students and alumni from the Universidad de Veracruzana in Xalapa, Mexico.
The exhibit, titled "Grafica Contemporanea Veracruzana," originally opened in February at the Wings Student Gallery in the Student Resource Center at College of DuPage in Glen Ellyn, Ill. The exhibit is now on display at the Atrium Gallery on the second floor of Kindlon Hall at Benedictine University through June 30, 2011.
Teresa Parker, curator of the Benedictine University Art Collection, initiated the international effort after she traveled to Xalapa, Mexico in the summer of 2010 through a visiting artist program. She developed the idea of an exhibition exchange with the Mexican university's staff. This initiative evolved into a collaborative project between Benedictine University, the art faculty of the College of DuPage and Universidad de Veracruzana.
The goal of the program is to provide art students from both sides of the border with the opportunity to experience a more global view of printmaking, and at the same time expose students to the cultural diversity of fellow artists and their communities.
"Universidad de Veracruzana has one of the best fine arts programs in Mexico." Parker said. "This is the first time art students from this university have been able to showcase their works in the United States, and we are excited by the wide range of subject matter and technical virtuosity that has been displayed.
"There are more than 20 prints that are being featured, and they range from figurative study to surrealism and abstraction," she added. "These works are extraordinary examples of the bright and colorful contemporary art that can be found throughout Mexico and Latin America."
In Fall 2011, art students and alumni from Benedictine University and College of DuPage will complete the exchange by exhibiting their work at Universidad de Veracruzana.
"It is an honor to be able to facilitate the exposure of these artists and their works," Parker said. "It is my hope that this will be the beginning of a long and ongoing collaboration between our institutions and the university in Veracruzana.
"Currently, we are in the process of exploring other exhibit venues in the United States and Canada, and the possibility of forming partnerships with these venues in order to provide the maximum amount of exposure for these student-artists," she added.
The Kindlon Hall Atrium Gallery is open from 7:00 a.m. until 11:00 p.m. seven days per week. Benedictine University is located at 5700 College Road in Lisle.
For more information regarding this and upcoming art exhibits, or for art tours of the Benedictine University campus, please email email@example.com.
Benedictine University is an independent Roman Catholic institution located in Lisle, Illinois just 25 miles west of Chicago. Founded in 1887, Benedictine provides 53 undergraduate majors, 13 graduate and four doctorate programs. Benedictine University is ranked as a Top School in the Midwest (11th in Illinois) for Master's Universities, 12th in the Midwest (and sixth in Illinois) for Racial Diversity, and eighth in Illinois for Freshmen Retention for 2011 by U.S. News & World Report.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 9/4/2013 (1570 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
St. Mary's Academy is transforming its Alumnae Hall into Avonlea.
The private Catholic girls' school presents its spring production Anne of Green Gables —The Musical from April 12 to 14.
Based on the bestselling novel by Canadian author L.M. Montgomery, the musical tells the story of Anne Shirley, a plucky, red-haired orphan who's sent to live with a pair of middle-aged siblings on a farm in P.E.I.
"I chose Anne of Green Gables because I think it's a very powerful female protagonist," Laura Davey says, the show's director and a drama/English teacher at SMA. "I also wanted to do something that was distinctly Canadian and that told the story of a young girl, this being an all-girls school."
The production stars a cast of 42 Grade 7 to 12 SMA girls, including Grade 12 student Emily Meadows as Anne. Also, there's one Grade 9 St. Paul's High School boy in the cast, Zachary Rawluk, who plays the role of Anne's classmate Gilbert Blythe.
The musical— written by Don Harron, Norman Campbell, Elaine Campbell and Mavor Moore and first produced in 1965 — also features close to 50 SMA students involved in the production aspects of the show, including stage management, directing, choreography, set design, lighting, sound, stage crew and public relations.
The students have been rehearsing four to five days a week since the last week of January. Davey says her job isn't that difficult because the students are so committed to the process.
"The first thing is I try to do is ignite their passion for the arts," Davey says. "However, after auditions and casting, my job is really just to guide them. I help by providing them with some staging and maybe some blocking, but they're doing most of the work on their own. They're doing their own character development. When they come to rehearsal, we just tweak the work that they're doing at home."
Also, Davey says most of the students came into the process knowing the story of Anne of Green Gables.
"In Grade 7 a lot of the students actually have to read the novel, so a lot of our girls are familiar with the story already," Davey says. "Also, lots of them have seen the movie and some have even seen the musical."
Davey says it's been very interesting working with such a wide age range of students, from 12 to 18 years old.
"There are many scenes where we have representatives from every age group on the stage at the same time," Davey says. "It's just a fantastic way of building community at the school and building relationships throughout the grade levels and the students have been responding very well to that aspect."
Show times for SMA's production of Anne of Green Gables are Fri. April 12 and Sat., April 13 at 7:30 p.m., as well as Sun., April 14 at 2 p.m. Tickets are $12 and are available by calling SMA reception at 204-477-0244 or by emailing firstname.lastname@example.com.

Can't-miss matchups
East Lake (1-0) at Largo (1-0)
The breakdown: One of the premier matchups in the county between teams ranked in the top three of Times' super seven and in the top five of the state polls. The Packers own a 9-2 edge in this series and have won the past two meetings, including a 40-10 rout last year. The key will be how well the Eagles defense can stop the run. Largo's Jarvis Stewart has rushed for more than 200 yards in the past two meetings, the only 200-yard rushing games of his career.
Who's hot: East Lake's offensive line did not allow a sack and opened big holes in the run game in last week's win over Palm Harbor University. Stewart had five rushing touchdowns in the Packers' season-opening victory against Northeast.
Rodney Page's pick: Game of the year comes down to the last series. Largo, 27-21.
Bob Putnam's pick: The Packers always fare well against East Lake's stars. Largo, 35-21.
Clearwater Central Catholic (1-0) at Tampa Catholic (0-1)
The breakdown: Former district rivals now meet for bragging rights in a game that could be a preview of the Class 3A state final. The Marauders won both meetings last year, including a 10-7 victory in the region final. CCC's defense is adept at getting after the quarterback. In last week's win over Naples Lely, the Marauders recorded seven sacks, including two from Florida recruit Justus Reed.
Who's hot: Everyone on offense for CCC. The Marauders had two quarterbacks throw touchdowns, nine running backs carry the ball and seven receivers with a catch in the season opener. Tampa Catholic linebacker TJ Harrell had four tackles, a sack and a fumble recovery in a loss to Madison County.
Page: Closer than expected. CCC, 17-14.
Putnam: Marauders prevail in another low-scoring game. CCC, 17-7
Tarpon Springs (1-0) at Osceola (1-0)
The breakdown: Both teams were in the same district the past two seasons but are now in different classifications. The Warriors have won the past two meetings, eliminating the Spongers from postseason contention in the process. An improved defense has been the key to Tarpon's strong start. In last week's 58-0 win over Clearwater, the Spongers recorded seven sacks and gave up minus-16 yards. Osceola's run game continues to churn out yards and was the difference in last week's win over Seminole.
Who's hot: Michael Ford rushed for more than 100 yards and scored four times in the Spongers' season-opening win. The Warriors' Jamil Morris had a career-high 185 yards and two touchdowns against Seminole.
Page: Battle of the running backs goes to Tarpon. Tarpon Springs, 24-17.
Putnam: Defense continues the Spongers' turnaround. Tarpon Springs, 16-14.
Carrollwood Day (0-1) at Indian Rocks Christian (0-1)
The breakdown: Rough outing for Carrollwood Day and new quarterback Taylor King last week, a 47-0 loss to defending Class 2A champ University Christian. It doesn't get a whole lot easier against an Indian Rocks Christian team that has all three running backs, Zeke McGaughy, Theo Anderson and Damian King, ready for this game. The winner will have an early edge in the Class 2A-5 race, which Carrollwood Day won last season.
Who's hot: IRC quarterback Garrett Ross-Johnson completed 13 of 20 passes for 156 yards and a touchdown last week against St. Petersburg Catholic. Dominic Cuono caught two passes for 36 yards against University Christian.
Page: There will be some scoring in this one. IRC, 31-28.
Putnam: Golden Eagles are more experienced at this point. IRC, 35-30.
More predictions
Countryside (1-0) at Bradenton Southeast (0-1)
Page: Southeast has given up 97 points in two games, but they still upset Countryside. Southeast, 28-24.
Putnam: This Southeast team is not like the powerful ones of the past. Countryside, 24-10.
Gibbs (0-1) at Pinellas Park (1-0)
Page: The Patriots are just like St. Petersburg, which beat Gibbs 33-0 last week. Pinellas Park, 27-7.
Putnam: The rough start continues for the Gladiators. Pinellas Park, 35-12.
Palmetto (0-1) at Lakewood (1-0)
Page: It's only the second game, but this is a must win for the Spartans. Lakewood, 34-17.
Putnam: The Spartans finally get it together. Lakewood, 28-20.
Boca Ciega (0-1) at Palm Harbor University (0-1)
Page: Both teams were held scoreless last week. PHU, 14-7.
Putnam: The Hurricanes win it in the trenches. PHU, 21-13.
Clearwater (0-1) at St. Petersburg (1-0)
Page: Two teams in completely different stages. St. Petersburg, 38-0.
Putnam: With running game and running clock, this one could end quickly. St. Petersburg, 45-0.
Dixie Hollins (0-1) at Northeast (0-1)
Page: Dixie Hollins, held winless last season, will break the streak. Dixie Hollins, 35-21.
Putnam: Shannon Brooks gets his first win as Rebels coach. Dixie Hollins, 28-21.
Seminole (0-1) at Dunedin (1-0)
Page: Seminole won this spring matchup. Dunedin wins when it counts. Dunedin, 23-14.
Putnam: The Warhawks are simply better up front. Seminole, 21-19.
Sarasota Cardinal Mooney (1-0) at Admiral Farragut (0-1)
Page: Cardinal Mooney appears to have too much offense. Cardinal Mooney, 28-14.
Putnam: The Blue Jackets are still going through some growing pains. Cardinal Mooney, 27-23.
Calvary Christian (1-0) at Sarasota Out-of-Door (0-1)
Page: Calvary Christian should roll. Calvary, 42-12.
Putnam: Todd Yoder continues his impressive debut. Calvary, 35-7.
Life Christian (0-0) at Canterbury (1-0)

15. Jesse Mogg - Does some good things but not nearly enough. His kicking was iffy and his defence worse. 5 /10
14. Israel Folau - More involved than last week. Pulled off a try-saving tackle on Julian Savea and won Test rugby's first Israel v Israel clash when he sidestepped the All Blacks fullback for his try. 6.5/10.
13. Adam Ashley-Cooper – One of Australia's most damaging runners rarely received the ball in a threatening position. Was replaced after 63 minutes. 5/10
12. Christian Leali'ifano - Had a bad misread in defence and missed his first goal in Test rugby, but still does many clever things. If that's his worst day at the office, he is in for a stellar career. 6.5/10
11. James O'Connor - Very good with the ball in hand, often beating the first defender. Ben Smith scored two tries on his wing, but he bears no blame. 8/10
10. Matt Toomua – Not the most flamboyant five-eighth ever seen in a gold jumper, but his solidity may be what the Wallabies need. Varied his game and took on the line. His one-on-one defence is courageous and effective. 7/10
9. Will Genia – Targeted by the All Blacks and was again kept quiet. Someone needs to tell him that sometimes less is more. Got in the way of the back three too often when high balls needed to be taken. 5/10.
8. Ben Mowen – Made a conscious effort to be more involved in the heavy work. Was a significant presence at the lineout. 7.5/10.
7. Michael Hooper – Was again the Wallabies best. Competed at the breakdown, harassed attackers, broke the line, cleaned up at the back and even stole a lineout. Anyone seen him goal kick? 8.5/10.
6. Scott Fardy – Encouraging run-on debut from the Brumbies utility. Was conspicuous in loose play and even showed he has a deft kick in his arsenal. 6.5/10.
5. James Horwill – One of a quartet of jumpers that troubled the New Zealand lineout. Was better in loose play than last week. 6.5/10.
4. Rob Simmons – The damaging runs from the Sydney Test were missing in Wellington. The scoreline was better though. 5.5/10.
3. Ben Alexander – A more willing runner in Wellington but again was relatively anonymous. The scrums are still too messy. 5/10.
2. Stephen Moore - Gave away too many penalties and missed a couple of crucial tackles. Did pop a lovely pass that nearly led to a Leali'ifano try, but the mistakes were too costly. 4/10.
1. James Slipper - Was again very strong in loose play, charging at the All Blacks defence, until his head collided with Ma'a Nonu's hip and was replaced. 6/10.
16. Saia Faingaa – Given a run after 76 minutes. No rating.
17. Sekope Kepu – Had 20 minutes to make an impact. He didn't. No rating.
18. Scott Sio – Did little wrong in more than a half of rugby. Solid. 5.5/10
19. Kane Douglas – Came on after 71 minutes and had little chance to influence the game. No rating.
20. Liam Gill – Again came on when the Wallabies were chasing the game. No rating.
21. Nic White – Showed a lot of energy in his four minutes on the field. No rating.
22. Quade Cooper – Given 23 minutes to offer spark but spluttered. 4/10
23. Tevita Kuridrani – Dropped his first ball and was bundled in to touch with his second. No rating.

New pastor settles in at Sewickley Presbyterian
The Rev. Russ Mowry's potential as a mathematician just wasn't adding up.
After spending four years earning a bachelor's degree in math from St. Edward's University in Austin, Texas, his future plans ended up taking him down a path involving pulpits and pews instead of percentiles and prime numbers.
That road eventually led him to Sewickley Presbyterian Church, where he has worked as the new associate pastor for youth and family ministries for several months.
He replaces the Rev. Scott Hoffman, who accepted a job as senior pastor at Christ Memorial Presbyterian Church in Columbia, Md., after six years here.
Mowry said he had attended church his whole life, and in high school started asking himself, "Why are we here? What's existence?
"And, I began to look for the answers," said Mowry, 31.
Mowry said he was good at math and figured he study it in college. But, he didn't like it very much.
After college, he found out his passion was in teaching and preaching. He soon accepted a position as youth intern at Covenant Presbyterian Church in Austin, staying for two years.
But, it wasn't until he went on a mission trip with youth that he realized ministry work was his future.
On the trip to Tijuana, Mexico — where he also got to know Jessica, a church volunteer who would become his wife — participants built seven houses in seven days.
He said he saw the lives of the people there change, and he saw the change in the students as they developed relationships with the people there and learned from them.
After than trip, Mowry earned his master's degree in divinity at Princeton Theological Seminary in New Jersey; worked at a church in Manhattan, N.Y.; and he and Jessica moved to Oakland, Calif., when he ran a ministry at Stanford University, and also helped develop a church there. He also led a youth ministry in Alameda, Calif., while Jessica worked on her medical residency in pediatrics.
Since coming to Sewickley, Mowry, about 30 teens and three other adults recently returned from a week-long mission trip to Sandy Hook, N.J., to help Superstorm Sandy victims.
"That's one of the things I love about this church — it's very 'missional,'" Mowry said. "They are good at going out to help the community."
He and Jessica said they are committed to working in the community in which they live to bring people together.
"It's not only serving somewhere for an hour and then coming back. You're working from the inside out instead of the outside in," he said.
Some of the ways of doing that is by serving Center for Hope in Ambridge — by not only helping at the center, but mentoring some of the kids, inviting them to events and bringing them on mission trips; having a community garden; or offering classes on nutrition and resume-writing at the church, he said.
Mowry, who has worked in churches with memberships from 100 to 5,000, said he couldn't have written a better match for him and his family than Sewickley Presbyterian Church.
Temporary associate pastor Rev. Brenda Barnes said the Mowrys are great additions to the community.
"Their enthusiasm for being here is incredible testimony to how the Lord works," she said.
The Rev. Kevin Long, senior pastor, agreed.
"We couldn't be more excited to have Russ join our family here. He is an outstanding young man who is not only solid in his faith and commitment to Jesus Christ, he is also passionate about connecting with youth and engaging them in a life of faith," he said.
Jessica said the church reminds her and her husband of their church in Austin.
"So, we kind of feel like it's home but just in a different part of the country."

text: Yes. The history of the Vatican City State in Rome, Italy, is controversial and complex, but at present [1999] it consists of slightly more than one hundred acres and a population of roughly 1,000.Citizenship is largely restricted to those employed by the Vatican. It operates, among other things, a mint, a post office, an astronomical observatory, a world-class radio station, and administers a legal system, although in criminal matters (such as the 1981 assassination attempt against the pope), Italian courts have jurisdiction. The Vatican shares the lira with Italy as its currency. Certain other properties, such as the pope's summer residence, Castle Gandolfo, located outside of Rome, have extraterritorial status similar to that enjoyed by embassies. The Vatican enters into diplomatic relations with other sovereign states, but remains strictly neutral in political matters. The Vatican's territorial independence is guaranteed primarily by Italy, in accord with the Lateran Treaty signed in 1929 and revised in 1985. The famous white and yellow flag featuring the papal tiara and the crossed keys, commonly taken as the pope's flag, is actually the flag of the Vatican City State.

Israel and Jordan this week signed two agreements – one in agriculture, the other in trade – over the same number of days.
The agriculture agreement, signed Thursday, was the latest accord called for under the peace treaty reached between the two countries a year ago.
Agriculture Minister Yakov Tsur and his Jordanian counterpart Mansour Abu Tarif initialed the agreement, which sets limits for agricultural imports.
Tsur told Israel Radio afterward that he hoped that the accord would open the way for Israeli exports to the Persian Gulf countries.
He said he would like Israeli exports to replace European products in the Gulf region.
On Wednesday, the two nations signed a trade agreement.
At a ceremony that took place at a Dead Sea resort in Israel, Michael Harish, Israel's trade and industry minister, said the two sides were "creating life" on the shores of the Dead Sea.
His Jordanian counterpart said the agreement was a practical approach to developing peace between the two peoples.
Under the accord, Israel will give Jordan 20 percent to 50 percent customs discounts on industrial products that come into Israel. Jordan will give a 10 percent discount on Israeli exports.

Rapidly ripping it up with a mission to bring some proper dread back to the convoluted hinterland around what used to be dubstep, Beneath has been showing some deadly skill on No Symbols and Keysound, and now he gets snapped up by Pinch to bring it on home to the perfect label for such deadly accuracy, Tectonic. "Duty" wastes no time in whipping into a low slung 4/4 roll defined by a gut-wrenching bottom end while all manner of panic-inducing industrial textures come slamming in around it. Far from the monochrome results so many achieve with such a sound palette, there is a serious dynamism in the rhythm Beneath creates, only built upon with "Texers" as dystopian whiffs of melody try to enter the fray in a more whip-cracking broken beat template.

Robert Earl Keen Biography
11 January 1956, Houston, Texas, USA. In the mid-70s, Keen befriended Lyle Lovett at Texas A&M University, an establishment that combined academic and military activities. They often sang and played guitar together and they wrote This Old Porch, which appeared on Lovetts first album. Keen also formed a bluegrass band, the Front Porch Boys. In 1981, he moved to Austin and worked as the Incredible Robert Keen and Some Other Guys Band. He financed an album on loans of $4, 500, No Kinda Dancer, which has twice been reissued. The Austin Chronicle nominated him Songwriter Of The Year, an honour that invariably went to Butch Hancock. On Steve Earles advice that there were too many distractions in Austin - namely, pretty women and drugs - Keen moved to Nashville, although he returned to Texas in 1987. He was a backing singer on Nanci Griffiths St. Olavs Gate and she recorded his songs Sing One For Sister and I Would Change My Life. He appeared on the recording of the 1986 Kerrville Folk Festival and then recorded a live album for Sugar Hill Records. In 1989, he made a spirited album about Texas life, West Textures. His rough-hewn voice suited the bittersweet songs, which included a country music parody worthy of David Allan Coe, Its The Little Things (That Piss Me Off). The stand-out track, ironically, was a song he did not write - Kevin Farrells western tale of Sonoras Death Row. Although Keen is a frequent performer, he prefers to write at home: Im not a very good writer on the road because I only come up with lonely hotel songs. Gringo Honeymoon was another excellent album, full of narratives and the telling observation that there are just two ways to go - dyin fast or livin slow. Number 2 Live Dinner was a raucous live album recorded in Texas. His major label debut was a typically uncompromising collection comprised largely of Keen originals, and featuring Margo Timmins of Cowboy Junkies on the duet Then Came Lo Mein. Keen moved to the newly minted Lost Highway label after his Arista Austin label folded.

Gloria Marsiglia's Grand Avenue jewelry shop and gallery is a gem worth unearthing. In the small space, you'll discover handcrafted necklaces, bracelets, beads, accessories, and other gifts made by local artists, including Marsiglia, who has designed decorative accouterments for more than 30 years. And she's all about sharing her in-depth knowledge. Marsiglia teaches workshops for beginners looking to learn about wire design, creative upcycling, chain-making, and cuffs, as well as more advanced sessions that tackle metalsmithing and wax casting, if you've got some experience under your handmade belt. On Third Fridays, you can share your new skills with other adornment fanatics during On the Dish, Marsiglia's networking potluck and wine-tasting series.
There are three factors that contribute to a good shot of espresso — beans, machine, and barista. If even one of the pieces of that trifecta is off, your shot of espresso can suffer. Luckily, the boys behind Scottsdale Quarter's Press Coffee Roasters have the process down. Created with their bold house-roasted Twitch Espresso Blend and pulled by their talented baristas off their top-of-the-line Synesso espresso machine, the end result is a perfectly balanced earthy shot of espresso with hints of sweet fruit, notes of chocolate, and a slightly smoky finish.A great way to start the day — or make sure it doesn't start too early.
Great coffee starts with high-quality beans, and the folks at Cartel score only the best from Brazil for their impressive Black Market Espresso. The four-bean blend is sourced from a single high-elevation farm in the Sul de Mina region of Brazil, where it goes through its natural pulping process on-site before it is shipped off the farm. Cartel then roasts these beans to perfection, creating a bold-flavored coffee with citrus and chocolate notes and a dash of sweetness.
We were sold on this quaint and cozy coffee shop the second that designer-turned-barista Pat Flanagan opened the doors of his freshly remodeled spot last spring. The warm interior and interesting artwork begs you to take a few minutes out of your day to stay and enjoy a cup of freshly brewed coffee (beans courtesy of Lux). But Carmel's isn't just a coffee house — it serves a full menu of delicious breakfast and lunch treats. Fresh-baked quiches, scones, and muffins, flaky croissant sandwiches, and even crepes are available. When the weather permits, Carmel's has plenty of patio space to savor your coffee while watching traffic go by on Camelback.
All of the sudden, there's a lot of coffee competition on Roosevelt Row. But for us, there's no contest. Fresh house-roasted beans, an in-house bakery, an omelet bar, and a beautiful selection of rotating artwork are just a few reasons why Lola is our go-to downtown coffee shop. Artisan coffee roaster and latte art fanatic Daniel Wayne has created a laid-back atmosphere with a welcoming demeanor — and some of the best whipped cream in town. The espresso-infused whip gives Lola's coffee drinks a sweet and creamy kick. Try the dark chocolate and orange Café Borgia or the coffee shop's almost famous Matador.
Crepes and coffee go together like peanut butter and jelly, David Lee Roth and Van Halen, or vodka and Red Bull. Without one, the other is lonely and incomplete. Thankfully, Cupz N' Crepes is keeping the coffee-and-crepe team together at its Paris-inspired shop in Ahwatukee. Dig into a delicate crepe packed full of sweet Nutella and ripe bananas or the savory Veggie Delight, filled with spinach, tomatoes, and goat cheese. The coffee is always fresh and the bold espresso drinks are expertly crafted. A can't-miss breakfast or lunch stop on the south side of town.

Date of Defense 2012-05-09 Availability unrestricted AbstractThis dissertation presents both analytical and numerical approaches to optimizing thrust and thrust efficiency of harmonically deforming thin airfoils and membrane wings. A frequency domain unsteady aerodynamic theory for deformable thin airfoils, with Chebychev polynomials as the basis functions is presented. Stroke-averaged thrust and thrust efficiency expressions are presented in a quadratic matrix form. The motion and deformation of the airfoil is optimized for maximum thrust and efficiency. Pareto fronts are generated showing optimum deformation conditions (magnitude and phase) for various reduced frequencies and constraints. It is shown that prescribing the airfoil to deform in a linear combination of basis functions with optimal magnitude and phase results in a larger thrust as compared to rigid plunging, especially at low reduced frequencies. It is further shown that the problem can be constrained significantly such that thrust is due entirely to pressure with no leading edge suction, and associated leading edge separation.
The complete aeroelastic system for a membrane wing is also optimized. The aerodynamic theory for deformable thin airfoils is used as the forcing in a membrane vibration problem. Due to the nature of the two dimensional theory, the membrane vibration problem is reduced to two dimensions via the Galerkin method and nondimensionalized such that the only terms are nondimesional tension, mass ratio and reduced frequency. The maximum thrust for the membrane wing is calculated by optimizing the tension in the membrane so that the the aeroelastic deformation due to wing motion leads to optimal thrust and/or efficiency. A function which describes the optimal variation of spanwise tension along the chord is calculated.

146 U.S. levees may fail in flood
By Peter Eisler, USA TODAY May 1/29/2007
WASHINGTON — The Army Corps of Engineers has identified 146 levees nationwide that it says pose an unacceptable risk of failing in a major flood. http://www.usatoday.com/news/nation/2007-01-28-levees_x.htm
Army Corps says Condition of many levees a mystery
May 12 05:05 AM US/Eastern (2008)
By JIM SALTER
Associated Press WriterST. LOUIS (AP) - Across America, earthen flood levees protect big cities and small towns, wealthy suburbs and rich farmland. But the Army Corps of Engineers, the federal agency that oversees levees, lacks an inventory of thousands of them and has no idea of their condition, the corps' chief levee expert told The Associated Press. http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=D90K0I4G0&show_article=1
● Veteran returning from the war.
● Green -Jobs etc.
Re-training of unemployed from various industries:
(States with the highest unemployment of displaced workers
Ohio, Michigan other states etc.)
Getting the appropriate Trade Unions informed as to what is expected of them.
What Institutions are currently offering training for infrastructure jobs…?
How do we get the training on the fast track etc.
We can assume all the levees need repairing, approx. how many employees will be needed.
How many man-women hours estimated to repair each levee (very ruff estimate) anybody knows?
About how many employees are we talking per year? (I know we have to find the levees first to determine the amount of damage)
Does the government have any idea how many levees there are in the U.S., even if they don't know where they are. If we knew how many, we could do a ruff estimate of jobs that will be needed; once you know how many you can probably do an estimate based on how long it would take to build a new levee, using that amount of time, less 25 percent. That could, probably, also help to determine a ruff estimate of material cost for the repairs.
Are the materials readily available to make the needed repairs? Is that something that the government can assign someone to begin locating and stockpiling now?
How many acres can surveyors survey per 8 hour day? How many employable surveyors are there in the U.S.? Can they be contacted easily by a government representative?
How many infrastructure trained employable people are currently in the U.S.? Does the union keep track of them?
Based upon the above information, "Army Corps says Condition of many levees a mystery" since the Army Core of Engineers do not know where all of the levees are, should each City municipality become the place to begin the search for levees, since this is an extremely urgent matter, and a very time consuming job. Re- surveying the lay-out of the land in each U.S. town to find all the levees is a big job….
However, it is not an option to just locate the levees as they break as it seem to have been the case with the recent ms & Iowa floods. Additionally there needs to be immediate training put in place for land surveyors; is someone in the government working on getting that done?
From each City Municipality to each State, and from there, an immediate plan needs to be put into place within 30 days of Obama as president. This process needs to get started immediately as to eliminate more damage from breaking levees.
"Hurricane Season Getting Longer" By Andrea Thompson, Senior Writer posted: 14 July 2008 12:15 am ET
"Hurricane seasons have been getting longer over the past century and the big storms are coming earlier, LiveScience has learned. The trend has been particularly noticeable since 1995, some climate scientists say". http://www.livescience.com/environment/080714-gw-hurr-season.html This linked article, also, confirms the need for Senator Obama to Develop Results-Oriented Plans of Action to address U.S. Challenges to "Hit the Ground Running" as U.S. President in January 2009:
We need to know what is being done now, so we know what to do immediately to eliminate as many disasters as possible, without getting caught up in a Katrina circle where very little gets done. Disasters are huge distraction.
With so much needing to be done, it's like the U.S. is riding on a runaway train with bad brakes waiting for repair in 2009; that is why the levee repair is first on this list…..
WHAT CAN BE DONE DURING THE FIRST 30 DAYS TO MAKE THIS "ASAP" BEGIN WITHIN 60 DAYS eliminating bureaucracy?
