Please join us on Wednesday, October 26 at 6:30 pm for the Rappaport Prize Lecture with Barkley Hendricks. Admission is free. Doors open at 6pm.
Reserve your tickets today!
The Rappaport Prize is an annual art award presented by the deCordova Sculpture Park and Museum through the generosity of the Phyllis & Jerome Lyle Rappaport Foundation. The Foundation has funded a $25,000 prize, given to a contemporary American artist each year since 2000, making it among the longest-running and most generous contemporary art prizes in the United States. The Rappaport Prize has come to symbolize DeCordova's commitment to supporting the best art and artists in the region, as well as the donor's commitment to recognizing and supporting leadership in diverse fields throughout New England.
Barkley Hendricks announced as 17th recipient of deCordova's Rappaport Prize
"We are honored to award the 2016 Rappaport Prize to Barkley Hendricks," notes John B. Ravenal, Executive Director of deCordova Sculpture Park and Museum. "His work is beautiful, thought-provoking, and culturally relevant. His strong connection to New England as a longstanding resident of New London, started while as a student at Yale and led to a nearly forty year career as a professor at Connecticut College."
Hendricks stated upon being awarded the prize, "A big thank you to deCordova for this award. I feel honored to be the recipient of the Rappaport Prize. I am proud of my relationship with John Ravenal and Jennifer Gross; deCordova is lucky to have two hip people at the lead."
Known primarily as a figurative painter, Hendricks has also worked in photography throughout his nearly five-decade-long career. His work most often includes portraits of ordinary people he has encountered on the street and in his life against backgrounds of flat color. In Photo Bloke (2016), Hendricks presents an African-American man dressed in a startlingly intense pink suit, laid against a pink background, his dark face and hands offset by a bleached white shirt and shoes. Hendricks has always experimented with the format of his canvases, sometimes rotating them to hang as a diamond shape or through using multiple small canvases to bring disparate images together to create a larger composition. In many of his recent works, Hendricks created these juxtapositions to encourage reconsideration of current events and the media's polarizing coverage of race relations in America. In the painting, In the Crosshairs of the States, the artist provocatively paired an image of the Confederate flag with a black man wearing a grey hoodie with his arms up and a sniper-like red laser dot on his forehead. Through the creation of images such as this, Hendricks aspires to redirect the current political and cultural conversation in order to destigmatize black culture and reclaim its representation.
The public is invited to attend the Rappaport Prize Lecture with Barkley Hendricks on Wednesday, October 26 at 6:30pm at deCordova Sculpture Park and Museum. Admission is free.
Born in Philadelphia in 1945, Barkley Hendricks lives and works in New London, Connecticut. Hendricks earned a Certificate from The Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, Philadelphia, and a BFA and MFA from Yale University, New Haven. He has served as Professor Emeritus of Studio Art at Connecticut College since 1972. His work is included in the collections of the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York; Yale University Art Gallery, New Haven; Philadelphia Museum of Art; Menil Collection, Houston; and Tate Modern, London, among many others. His work has been featured in solo and group exhibitions around the world, including a 2008 survey of his work, entitled Birth of the Cool, which traveled to five museums throughout the country. In 2010, Hendricks received the Amistad Center for Art & Culture President's Award and in 2008 he received a Joan Mitchell Foundation Award.

This is probably very stupid, but I'm a beginning programmer and I'd like your help.
I have a text-file with lines like this:
bla bla bla !end!
Now I want my program to ad all the words from a line to a variable, until it reaches "!end!". So if my program would read from the above line the value of the variable would be "bla bla bla". I tried it with this (only a small piece):
I know, my coding in general sucks But do you guys have tips or something for me to achieve this?Code:ifstream my_file("rode.txt"); my_file>>part_of_total; while (part_of_total!="!end!") { strcat(totalname," "); strcat(totalname,part_of_total); my_file>>part_of_total; }
Doesn't have to be an anhanced methode of my coding, new coding would rock
Thanx in advance!

It took 16 straight hours of negotiating on Saturday but the lockout is finally over. The NHL and NHLPA finally came to an agreement after 113 and 625 regular season games were lost.
"Don Fehr and I are here to tell you that we have reached an agreement on the framework of a new Collective Bargaining Agreement, the details of which need to be put on p[aper," NHL Commissioner Gary Betman said. "We have to dot a lot of I's and cross a lot of T's. There is still a lot of work to be done, but the basic framework has been agree upon. We have to go through a ratification process and the Board of Governors has to approve it from the League side and, obviously, the players have to approve it as well."
The two sides came to an agreement around 5 a.m. this morning. The tentative agreement is for a 10-year CBA, in which there is a mutual opt-out option after eight years. Player contract lengths are also limited to seven years except for players resigning, then contracts can be eight years.
"I am happy deal has been reached and excited to get back to playing hockey," Sidney Crosby said in an email to ESPN.com's Katie Strang.
The agreement also sets a salary cap at $64.3 million for the 2013-2014 season. Teams have this season to cut down to that level but can spend up to $70.2 million. The floor is also set at $44 million.
The two sides would never have come to an agreement if it wasn't for Deputy Director for Mediation Services Scott Beckenbaugh.
"I want to recognize the extraordinary contribution that my colleague, Scott Beckenbaugh, Deputy Director for Mediation Services, made in providing herculean assistance to the highest caliber to the parties throughout the most critical periods in the negotiations," FMCS Director George Cohen said in a statement.
There is no timetable as to when the players will be back on the ice, but many players have already expressed their excitment, sorrow and are returning from Europe.
"From my grandparents to our B's fans, I am deeply sorry that we had to miss so much hockey. All we can do now is play our hearts out for you," Andrew Ference tweeted along with several other sorry tweets.
The Bruins had the most players playing overseas but several have previously returned to Boston. Ference, Zdeno Chara, Dennis Seidenberg, and David Krejci are all still currently overseas while Tyler Seguin, Patrice Bergeron and Tuukka Rask have returned to Boston.Tags: Andrew Ference, Boston, Boston Bruins, David Krejci, Dennis Seidenberg, Hockey, NHL, NHLPA, Patrice Bergeron, Tuukka Rask, Tyler Seguin

When My Crazy Aunt Denise Comes to Visit
My Aunt Denise was in-town over the weekend, my parents and I call her Crazy Aunt Denise because she's eccentric, dramatic and talks like a teacher. As a kid, I LOVED it but as an adult it can drive you nutty. We had a good weekend and it's amazing because my kids loved her as much as I did as a kid.
She was a teacher for 30 years, she's single but is great with our kids. The kids LOVED her but as an adult, she does things that drive me nuts. One thing she's always done and did over the weekend was emphasizes and takes these long dramatic pauses while telling you a story or asking a question.
Over the weekend she said, "Steven, you know what I would like to do for a month every year...I would like...to live (and this is when I would start freaking out)...to France." (She was a French teacher) She's also pretty much deaf in her left ear so we would be in the car, Olivia would be talking to her and she wouldn't respond so I would have to repeat things Olivia said. Only good part about that is when I would say mildly offensive things to her to make Kristy laugh.
She also will go and talk to anyone, she loves to meet new people which DRIVES ME NUTS. Hotel clerk, where she stayed, they talked for 30 minutes one day, she left with his phone number because he's American and she's Chinese (and this interests her because my Uncle who still isn't divorced but hasn't been with my Aunt for 20 years, lived in China for 20 years and may have this Chinese woman he's been seeing on and off for 5 years move to America...) I was horrified at the Mall of America because some girl said, "are you Steve-O' that my Aunt would start asking 20 questions so she could find out about her, her life, etc.
Saturday we spent the day taking Denise and the kids all around town because she wanted to see where I worked, etc. Took the kids to the Dinosaur exhibit at the Science Museum which if you love Dinosaurs.

My kids and I are huge fans of classic stories. The Complete Tales of Beatrix Potter are some of our favorites, and of course the most popular of those is The Tale of Peter Rabbit. To give my kids a chance to act out the story which is GREAT for comprehension, I created a Peter Rabbit small world allowing them some hands-on, interactive book play. They LOVED it!
Welcome to Easter Week on In Lieu of Preschool and Growing a Jeweled Rose!
While Peter Rabbit isn't technically an Easter story, this time of year is a good time to introduce rabbit stories, since the Easter bunny is so popular right now. Our play time today was inspired by Growing a Jeweled Rose's Dinosaur Painted Small World Scene.
Peter Rabbit Small World Book Play
To create the scene, I first reread The Tale of Peter Rabbit myself trying to envision how best to create a small world based on the book. We have the 1989 edition of The Complete Tales of Beatrix Potter.
You can get just a copy of The Tale of Peter Rabbit by itself. If you have a Kindle, you can download it for free on Amazon: The Tale of Peter Rabbit Kindle edition.
After I reread the story, then I hopped into the bath tub armed with red, blue, and yellow washable tempera paints, a few empty applesauce cups for mixing paints to make various colors, and a couple of paintbrushes.
Before long I had created the rabbits' sand-bank home under the big fir-tree,
the blackberry bushes,
Mr. McGregor's garden complete with fence and gate,
Mr. McGregor's toolshed,
and his pond.
I added some details to the small world like purple foam blackberries on the fruit bushes, orange Play-Doh carrots with green pipe cleaner tops in the garden, a scarecrow with Peter's blue coat made of lollipop sticks held together with a twist tie and blue felt for the coat,
blue gems and orange Play-Doh goldfish to the pond,
a little flower pot in front of the toolshed made from foam, pipe cleaner, and a pom pom, and a rock border on the garden and rabbits' home. I also added a cat and a rabbit figurine from our toy collection.
I am NOT an artist by any means, but I think the small world scene turned out pretty cute!
The entire set-up took me about an hour to think up and create, but to simply copy the idea would probably only take about 15-20 minutes, and you could involve your kids in the crafting of the scene for even more imaginative fun. I used only materials we already had on hand, so this set up didn't cost anything out of pocket. I also saved money by only using the 3 primary colors of paint and mixing my own color combinations!
While the paint was drying a bit, the kids got their Peter Rabbit and Cottontail stuffed animals from last year's Easter basket, and we snuggled up to read The Tale of Peter Rabbit together.
We talked about how naughty little Peter Rabbit had been and how he had gotten into danger because he didn't listen to his mother's instructions. We made some real life comparisons.
Then I told them they could play in Peter Rabbit's World!
While the paint was still a little damp, I only let them use plastic figurines in the tub, but once it was mostly dry, I let them use their stuffed animals in the small world scene, too.
They had fun acting out the story as well as making up their own additions!
We are leaving the Peter Rabbit scene up all day for the kids to climb in and out of when they want to play. Tonight, they'll have the fun of getting to wash it all away and once the tub is clean again, we'll end the day with a nice bath!
Be sure to HOP over to Bath Activities for Kids to see a fun Easter Bunny Activities Bath and check back all week for more Easter bath fun!

In Early October, USA Today's Tim Mullaney Called HealthCare.gov 'A Winner Despite Glitches'
In an October 3 column at USA Today, economics correspondent Tim Mullaney pronounced "HealthCare.gov a winner despite glitches."
Mullaney from all appearances has never retracted any of what he wrote that fateful day. He also defended himself vigorously in correspondence with yours truly during the week or so after my NewsBusters post critical of his writeup appeared. Accordingly, in light of what has really happened with HealthCare.gov, it seems more than appropriate to republish several paragraphs from his October review for their value as pure comedy gold.
This is almost too easy — but it's so much fun (bolds and numbered tags are mine):
Review: HealthCare.gov a winner despite glitches Look past its start-up glitches -- they'll get fixed -- HealthCare.gov is an out-of-the-box success for consumers shopping for health insurance.
Any e-commerce veteran can tell you: If a start-up's business proposition is sound and it delivers what it promises, it survives early days when websites crash and chaos reigns. ...
This brings us to Tuesday's launch of HealthCare.gov, the government-run insurance marketplace and centerpiece of the Affordable Care Act. The headlines are dominated by technical glitches likely to be gone by Thanksgiving. [1] Two main questions will matter once they're fixed.
The most important is whether HealthCare.gov meets its fundamental task — creating a marketplace with an array of choices and competitive prices. [2] The other is whether it explains insurance so people understand it — how to buy it, why they should, how the law's subsidies work, and helps them start grasping which policy works for them.
On those counts, HealthCare.gov is an out-of-the-box success. [3]
... Let's say up front that HealthCare.gov's problems have kept me from doing all the comparison shopping I'd planned [4] ...
... Site-performance issues matter, but they don't ruffle e-commerce veterans much. [5] I talked to a half-dozen, including two Bush administration officials who launched the marketplace for Medicare prescription-drug plans.
They said the problems may take a few weeks to two months to fix — and won't matter in the long run.
... For HealthCare.gov, the fundamentals are well-priced insurance, clearly explained. And they're in place.
I don't want to take too much away from what commenters will say, but I have to note the following:
[1] — The "glitches" were NOT "gone by Thanksgiving," and the number one problem of no credible site security hasn't been sufficiently addressed. IT security experts say that anyone concerned with their personal privacy and the security of their personal information should not be using the site.
[2] — Choices are far more limited than private plan choices were. Geographic barriers abound, and networks are much tighter.
[3] — This was an embarrassing evaluation on October 3 when Mullaney issued it. Now it should be considered completely humiliating and utterly indefensible.
[4] — Mullaney couldn't even use the site when he did his review. He had to retreat to a canned calculator provided by the Kaiser Family Foundation.
[5] — I'd love to see Mullaney name names here. Performance in essence doesn't matter? Are you flippin' kidding me? Also, keep in mind that we have since learned that critical components of the site, including back-end payment and subsidy systems, haven't even been built. Does that not matter either?
That's all I have on Mullaney's malarkey. I didn't want to steal all the commenters' fun.

Faces of the campaign: Jacob Manser
Name: Jacob Manser
Title: LGBT Vote Director
Based in: Columbus, Ohio
Hometown: Columbus, Ohio
Q: Why Is the LGBT Community crucial to the 2012 election?
The final vote in November is going to be extremely close, so it's more important than ever that we organize in every community across the state—we can't afford to leave any stone unturned. Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender Ohioans know as well as anyone that we can't afford to turn back the clock on the historic progress we've made under President Obama, which means it's even more imperative that we mobilize the community to support the President on the doors, on the phones, and at the ballot.
Q: What is your role as LGBT Vote Director?
My most important job is to make sure that the LGBT community across Ohio is engaged with the campaign and plugged into our neighborhood teams. I work with LGBT and allied grassroots leaders to organize our presence at Pride, collaborate with small businesses, and recruit volunteers in our community. I love hearing from our volunteers and supporters all across the state about what's going on in their neighborhoods.
Q: What inspired you to get involved?
In 2007, then-Senator Obama told a group at Howard University, "Too often, the issue of LGBT rights is exploited by those seeking to divide us. But at its core, this issue is about who we are as Americans. It's about whether this nation is going to live up to its founding promise of equality by treating all its citizens with dignity and respect." By voicing his support in such strong terms, he filled many LGBT Americans—myself included—with hope for remarkable progress under an Obama presidency. I started volunteering on the campaign a short time later, and President Obama hasn't stopped working toward that goal he set five years ago.
Q: What has President Obama done for the LGBT community?
So much! Legislatively, he signed the Matthew Shepard Hate Crimes Prevention Act and repealed Don't Ask Don't Tell. He's also tackled the issue of bullying in our schools and announced his personal support for same-sex marriage. President Obama has led the way in making progress for LGBT Americans and has proven himself to be the fierce advocate that we need in the White House. He's also launched an effort to promote equality across the world by creating the first-ever U.S. government strategy dedicated to combating human rights abuses against LGBT persons abroad and renewing our nation's commitment to creating an AIDS-free generation.
Q: What do you enjoy about your job most?
I'm a people person. I love interacting with new people all the time and learning about their stories and what inspires them. One of the best parts of my job is traveling across the state to meet with supporters and activists. Each story is so unique, every time I get to hear about how President Obama has affected the life of one of our volunteers I remember how important this work is to our community.

Contest Recap: Great American Barbecue
Once again the Great American Barbecue was a great weekend to spend cooking outdoors. This year the organizers bumped the date up to be the week before the long Memorial Day holiday weekend. This gave the competition teams the chance to still compete in this great contest, and also be able to spend some valuable family time over the long weekend. Burnt Finger BBQ came out of the weekend with calls in 4 of 8 categories we entered, and two local Kansas City teams walked away with Grand Championships in each of KCBS contests.
Congratulations to our friends from Big Creek BBQ and Boondoogle BBQ for taking home the GC honors in the Open and Invitational contests!!! Out of all the teams competing that weekend, these guys were placed right next to each other and split of the cost of a Johnny. As Bob from Boondoogle says "Teams that *hit together win together!" Nice work gentlemen!
Our team, Burnt Finger BBQ, didn't quite walk away with hardware of that caliber, but we were darn close. Our dessert posted a perfect score from all 6 judges….but so did one other team's entry. First place came down to a coin toss, and we lost. That's okay though, 2nd place and perfect score honors still make for a fantastic weekend. Special thanks to our cheesecake queen Katherine Bresette for another strong showing!
Our other calls were 14th in beans, 16th in vegetables, and 13th in pork in a field of 190 teams.

George Davis (davisge02)
George Allen Davis
- Bats Both, Throws Right
- Height 5' 10½", Weight 175 lb.
- School Williams College
- Debut July 16, 1912
- Final Game October 7, 1915
- Born March 9, 1890 in Lancaster, NY USA
- Died June 4, 1961 in Buffalo, NY USA
Biographical Information[edit]
George Davis was the son of a wealthy judge in Buffalo, New York. Between 1912 and 1915 he pitched in 36 games for the New York Highlanders and Boston Braves. Of the major-league pitchers who have thrown no-hitters, only Bumpus Jones (2) and Bobo Holloman (3) have fewer career victories than Davis (7).
After baseball, he returned to Harvard Law School, where he was enrolled while pitching his no-hitter for the "Miracle Braves" of 1914. He became a real estate attorney in Buffalo.
He was featured in an article in Baseball Magazine, February 4, 1915, called George Davis, the No-Hit Hero of the Braves. His no-hitter was called "the best individual performance" of the Miracle Braves season of 1914. Davis himself called it luck, noting that he had allowed five walks and there were also a couple runners who reached on errors. A serious student, he said that reading was his favorite sport. He was originally signed by New York in 1912, but was sold to Boston after the 1912 season.
Although the press usually called him George Davis, he is remembered under the name "Iron Davis", which distinguishes him from the Hall of Famer George Davis, whose major league career ended three years before this George Davis' big league career started.
Notable Achievements[edit]
- Won a World Series with the Boston Braves in 1914 (he did not play in the World Series)

WSJ's "Office Mom" Piece Has Some Problems
The New York Times is getting a run for its money in the dubiously-credible lifestyle articles department. Today's contender: the Wall Street Journal's "Who's Your Office Mom?" which continues on another page with the statement-making headline, "Every Office Needs A Mom."
Really, WSJ, really?
To quote:
The office mom is shorthand for a figure in many offices: the colleague who remembers everyone's birthdays and brings in cupcakes. She has Advil and tissues in her desk drawer. She knows your significant other is all wrong for you—and will say so.
She is often an office manager but can be a senior executive, too. Just as people talk about their "office spouse," a colleague they spend time with and confide in, the office mom is asserting herself as the matriarch of the office family. …
The office mom is almost always a woman and often slightly older than other colleagues. She might actually be a mother, but not necessarily. A relationship with her is complex like all family relationships tend to be: A younger employee might want to please her professionally, even as she grits her teeth listening to her personal advice.
The writer, Katherine Rosman, made the briefest of mentions of the concern some women feel for taking on this "stereotypical role." But that concern is quickly dismissed by quotes from other office moms about the good they feel they do in the workplace. I'm not suggesting these women aren't assets to their workplace; one makes a good point that "nurturing valuable employees is critical" — that's likely true even more so with the new generation of millenials, raised by "helicopter parents," who are used to having their needs acknowledged, if not met, at all times.
However, it irritates me that the WSJ piece attributes "cakes and cupcakes for the entire staff's birthdays" or doling out Band-Aids and dating advice as the province of moms — as opposed to moms and dads or even just people. GAY MEN, HELLO! Mothers are not the only emotional providers within a family and that's doubly true when the 'family' is your work one. "Can't people who don't have kids be kind and compassionate, too? It should just be associated with being a caring human being without the mom qualifier," Julie wrote when I asked her about this article.
Additionally, the way that employees encourage, nurture, support and socialize isn't necessarily a gendered thing: getting a drink or a bite to eat after work with your boss or coworkers is pretty standard across the board. It's true that in the office women are typically the ones to plan company baby showers, but women are also involved in activities like March Madness brackets or volunteer activities. Sometimes the workplace can be a gender-neutral environment in the way outside society is not.
I realize this was kind of a tongue-in-cheek lifestyle piece. But they could have — and I think should have — dug deeper into this so-called "phenomenon" — namely, it doesn't analyze the implications of those gender stereotypes Rosman briefly mentioned. I would have liked an explanation for how a man who is sensitive, caring and nurturing in the workplace is seen as a great guy, someone who would be a good mentor. But a woman with those same qualities? She could be either seen as a softie who's not to be taken seriously or eyeroll-worthy because she's embodying such a stereotypical role. All the "office moms" quoted in the piece were thumbs-up positive about their roles — and all their "office daughters," too.
But everyone who knows moms and daughters knows a relationship is never that uncomplicated … even when we're just talking about the office.

May 26, 2013 - By Andrea Novotny, Staff WriterLander sculptor was commissioned to create a bronze monument for the future memorial.
The Northern Arapaho Tribe will host a "meet the artist" event at 4 p.m. Wednesday at the future site of the Northern Arapaho Veterans Park, south of the Wind River Hotel and Casino.
Lander artist Margery Torrey, who has been involved in the development of the park, has been commissioned to create a bronze sculpture for the new Northern Arapaho Veterans Park, scheduled to be completed within a year.
The monument will feature a warrior on horseback and is expected to be completed within the next two years, according to Torrey's website.
Sandy Whitehair, senior planner for the Northern Arapaho Engineering Department, says the monument is being created to "represent the Arapaho warriors and what it means to be an Arapaho and a warrior within the tribe."
The event will have two parts. The site dedication from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. will include a blessing of the site by Leonard Moss Sr., traditional Arapaho drumming by the Eagle Drum Group, and an introduction of Torrey and her plans for the monument.
A meeting will follow the dedication at 6 p.m. in the Entertainment Room of the Wind River Casino. The meeting will introduce officers of the non-profit veterans group made up of volunteers who have been working with the Northern Arapaho Engineering Office in the planning and construction of the park.
The meeting will focus principally on developing the non-profit group that hopes to extend its services beyond the construction of the park to provide resources for veterans. The group will be taking questions and suggestions from the community and hopes to select a name and logo from a survey of community submissions.
The meeting also will address planning issues and site concepts for the Northern Arapaho Veterans Park.

Cloning: Professor Patrick Derr
Monday, Dec. 3, 10 a.m. ET
"The moral measure of an individual or a society is found in its answer to this question: Will we love people and use things, or will we love things and use people? To this question, the recent human cloning experiments in Worcester represent the worst answer that American society has given since the days of slavery," says Patrick G. Derr, professor of philosophy and director of the environment and society concentration at Clark University. Talk to Professor Derr about the moral and ethical components of human cloning.

By Staff Sgt. Joel Pena, 10th Mountain Division Journalist January 24, 2013
WASHINGTON, D.C. -- The year 1863 was one of the most fateful in our nation's capital. It began with the Emancipation Proclamation on Jan. 1, and ended with a celebration of the new Capitol dome crowned by the Statue of Freedom in December.
It was 150 years later at this historic site when a group of wounded warriors from the 10th Mountain Division (LI) witnessed history as President Barack H. Obama was administered the presidential oath of office by Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts Jr. to mark his second term.
The morning began bright and early for Capt. Jake E. Murphy, Staff Sgt. Timothy Payne, Spc. Johnathon Mullen and Spc. Jacob Owens -- all former 10th Mountain Division Soldiers -- who are currently recovering at Walter Reed National Medical Center, Bethesda, Md., from injuries they suffered while deployed to Afghanistan. They and other wounded warriors were invited to the inauguration by Sen. Harry Reid (Nevada).
As the Soldiers arrived at the event, thousands of people lined the site on both sides. The crowd exploded in applause and cheers, thanking the Soldiers for their service and sacrifice.
"You are our heroes" could be heard from the crowd, as the Soldiers, dressed in their Army Service Uniforms, marched proudly through the crowd to occupy their position in the west front of the Capitol building to witness the 57th Presidential Inauguration.
"This is very humbling," Owens said, as he heard and saw the honor being bestowed upon the Soldiers by the crowd. "We were only doing our job."
Owens has been hospitalized since he sustained injuries to his left leg and right eye on Nov. 23, 2011, when an improvised explosive device detonated in Afghanistan, also leaving him with a traumatic brain injury and a blood clot in his lung. He previously was assigned to what he called "the best route clearance company in the Army," the 630th Route Clearance Company, 7th Engineer Battalion, 10th Sustainment Brigade.
Sitting in front of the Soldiers during the ceremony were members of the Tuskegee Airmen, the first African American aviators in the U.S. armed forces. They also are known by the nickname "Red Tails," which was coined when they painted the tails of their P-47 fighter aircraft red during WWII.
Owens, excited about seeing the Tuskegee Airmen, went to shake hands with them and take photos with his cell phone. The airmen were very gracious and thanked Owens for his service. Owens replied, "The honor is all mine," and he thanked them for their service.
After a musical prelude by the U.S. Marine Band, directed by Col. Michael J. Colburn, U.S. Sen. Charles E. Schumer (New York) gave the call to order and welcoming remarks.
After a musical selection by the Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir, the vice presidential oath of office was administered to Joseph R. Biden Jr. by Supreme Court Associate Justice Sonia Sotomayor.
The ceremony continued with a musical selection by James Taylor, followed by the president taking the oath of office and giving his inaugural address to the nation.
Capt. Jake E. Murphy, an infantry officer from 2nd Battalion, 87th Infantry Regiment, 3rd Brigade Combat Team, described the president's remarks as "uplifting and positive."
Murphy required amputation of both of his legs after being wounded in an IED attack in July 2011 in Kandahar Province. He is waiting to receive his medical rating from the Department of Veterans Affairs to be discharged from the Army, and he is getting married in spring.
"It was a great feeling to look behind us and see an ocean of people in one accord," Murphy continued. "I believe things will get better for all of us."
Immediately after, the Reverend Dr. Luis Leon gave the benediction and Beyonce sang the national anthem.
At the conclusion of the ceremony, Navy Commander Roberto Molina, defense legislative fellow for Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, awarded a coin on behalf of Reid to each of our warriors, thanking them for their service.
Upon returning back to Walter Reed National Medical Center, the excitement was noticeable on the warriors' faces as they laughed and talked about the day's events.
Some of them also were invited to attend the Commander in Chief's Ball at the Washington Convention Center on Monday night.
For all of them, it was a day to remember.

Passion for sales and dogs lands grad premium Purina gig
Where do our newly minted alumnae land in the job market? On Fridays throughout the summer, the editorial team will feature recent St. Catherine University grads and their first jobs.
Our first Friday Feature highlights December 2013 grad Dominique Staupe, who majored in fashion merchandising. Staupe currently works as territory manager for Nestlé Purina Petcare Company in Fort Worth, Texas.
What do you do at Purina?
I am responsible for 55 accounts in West Texas that culminate in $17 million of annual sales revenue. I work with account managers on creating effective promotions, and audit retail accounts for corporate compliance in merchandising and pricing standards. I also get to support small grassroots efforts with local animal shelters and humane societies, which is my favorite part of the job.
What led to you landing this position?
I am fortunate to have my current role as well as my previous role as a merchandiser for American Girl in Bloomington, Minnesota, due to the internships I earned as a student at St. Kate's. My role in Purina came from an email blast Career Development sent to students about a summer internship with Nestlé Purina Petcare Company. Because I have a dog that has always eaten Purina food, I was immediately interested.
In order to gain a competitive advantage, I reached out to the HR department at Purina — as I had been taught to do in my business courses at St. Kate's. Because of this direct access to the HR department, I secured phone interviews then moved to the in-person interviews in St. Louis, Missouri, and finally to an internship position. There were over 2,000 applicants for 19 positions.
Following my internship, I was offered a fulltime position — and I couldn't be happier working for the company.
Any highlights or special recognitions that you'd like to share?
Prior to my graduation, I earned a top 10 ranking in a sales competition at William Paterson University in Wayne, New Jersey. I had the opportunity to go with Mary Jacobs, director of the Center for Sales Innovation program, and Ana Saporito, another St. Kate's student.
As for my current career, I've had many small recognitions for success in sales, proactive cooperation and initiative. The best of these was being chosen to participate in sales analyst training after being in my current role for only five months; this training is awarded to territory managers who display the ability to move to the next role within the company.
What are your career goals? And how does this position fit them?
My short term goals are to earn a position as a sales analyst. Long term, I would love the ability to work with the Pet Engagement Team and work with rescue shelters to help animals find their forever homes.

JERUSALEM (Jan. 15)
Anger over France's arms sales to Libya and other Arab countries has caused Foreign Minister Abba Eban to cancel plans for a stop-over in Paris on his visit to West Germany and The Netherlands next month, informed sources said here today. They said the Israeli diplomat had been expected to visit the French capital. Yesterday in the Knesset he delivered the sharpest attack on France ever made by a member of the Israel Government. He charged that French arms deals with Libya and Iraq were helping the Soviet Union and undermined chances for peace in the Mideast. Mr. Eban was reported to be "indisposed" today. He received at his home a pro-Arab Laborite member of the British Parliament. Christopher Mayhew. Mr. Mayhew is chairman of "The Labor Friends of the Middle East," a pro-Arab faction in the British Labor Party. No details were available of his talk with Mr. Eban.

I have been using Restylane. I am considering a purchase on line of the product made in Sweden. Does it have the same properties? Is it safe to use? Thanks.
Is Restylane from Sweden Safe to Use?
Doctor Answers 4
Overseas medications
I believe it is illegal for a US doctor to purchase medications from overseas. We can only inject products that we buy from the US manufacturer.
Restylane from overseas
Hi Bluearmy. There are several issues with purchasing drugs like Restylane online.
1. It's illegal to import drugs without authorization. While it's unlikely that you would ever be prosecuted, you do not have authorization to legally import drugs.
2. The product may be fake. Many of these companies are selling legitimate Restylane and many are not. The problem is how to tell the difference.
3. No legitimate practitioner would inject you with product that does not come from his or her own practice, so unless you want to inject yourself (and have access to the proper equipment) you may have a problem using the product.
It's just not a good idea, no matter how you look at it.

Online purchasing of Restylane
The fastest growing organized crime in the world is the sale of adulterated and fake medicines. while it may never overtake the drug importation it has become a multibillion a year business.
Peruse online directories and you can seemingly buy EVERY injectible.The question is - Did you buy the real thing or a fake? If it was the real thing, how was is stored on the way from "Sweden" - was it exoposed to extreme temperatures which would have inactivated it?
Some salon operators increase their profit margins by purchasing wrinkle fillers from Canadian pharmacies or worse. I agree with Dr. Schlessinger - if you want to get the "right stuff" get it from a licensed physician. Do not take chances.

No, online product purchases are unsafe!
Think twice before you purchase a product like this online. There are many unscrupulous places selling knock-offs of this product that are actually anything ranging from paste to other products and have harmed many individuals.
Remember (and repeat this): This is my face and it is worth getting unadulterated, genuine product from a reputable surgeon. While you may be poorer due to this, you won't have lumps that last a lifetime and kick yourself for being pennywise and pound-foolish.

Here is what I collected on the Culp/Turney/Vancil/Lyeria families in Adams Co Illinois in 1850s
These are all Adams Co Illinois marriages
04/02/1846 Esther Culp to George Turney/Tourney
11/18/1850 Isabella Culp to Peter Turney/Twiney
08/07/1853 Maria Culp to Franklin Tourney
also 1858 George Tourney to Elizabeth Allen
>From Adam Co Illinois genweb page - under Zachariah Lierly, Rev War Veteran - it mentions he was given special burial as the only Revolutionary War Veteran in Adams County. With him was buried a Frenchman. FAmily story: when Nepoleon was taken prisoner in 1815, he had two bodyguards. One man was killed, the second man escaped and disappeared. This Frenchman named Tournear, who was buried near Liberty in the late 1830's, is believed to be the long lost Napoleonic guard.....
1850 Census Adams County Illinois
family 16, house 16
William Vancil age 28 born Illinois
Mary A age 24 born France
John age 2 born Illinois
Henry age 1 born Illinois
Joseph Turney age 22 born France
(this would seem Joseph Turney was the brother of Mary Vancil....and the name in census is TURNEY.)
same house, different family
house 16, family 17
Zachiarah Lirele age 30 born Illinois
George age 7 born Illinois
Jane? age 6 born Illinois
William 3 born Illinois
as far as the Culps, I found the father under Culph
1850 Adams Co Illinois census
Jacob Culph age 64 born Tennessee
Mary age 55
Isabella age 20 born Indiana
Drucilla? age 14 born Indiana
(Isabella Culp is the one who married Peter Turney/Twiney in November of 1850)
1850 Adams Co Illinois census
George Towney age 28 born France
Esther age 23 born Indiana
Jefferson age 3 born Illinois
John B age 1 born Illinois
Maria Culph age 16 born Indiana
(this would be Esther Culp who married George Turney/Tourney in 1846. Maria is her sister and would marry Franklin Tourney in 1853.)
from a Culp researcher:
"the 3 Culp daughters were those of Jacob Culp and Mary "Polly" Dennis. Jacob died 5/15/1875 and is buried in Olive Chapel Cemetery, St Joseph County, Indiana. Esther/Hester Culp married a George Tourney (b. 1822) on 4/2/1846 in Adams Co IL, where they appear in the 1850 census......her sister Maria married Frank(lin) Tourney (b 1834) 8/7/1853 also in Adams Co IL. Another sister Isabella married Peter Tourney (b 1830) 11/18/1850. This Peter Tourney was actually Peter Moulin, the only child of Nicholas Moulin and maria Catherine Balot. Maria Catherine Balot married 2nd Jean Baptiste Tournier (John Tourney) when Peter was young. Peter appears on the IL marriage register as "Tourney" but he and Isabella later moved to Daviess Co., MO and used the name Moulin. Maria and John Tourney appear on the 1850 census for Liberty, IL. The Tourney family may have been in Stark Co., Ohio prior to going to Adams Co. IL about 1837. Peter and Frank(lin) appear to be half brothers. Ge!
orge is too old to have been the child of Maria and John Tourney but I do not know how he is related.
another Culp researcher just confused me more:
"I visited the Culp/Tourney graves last summer in Missouri. After, Maria married Franklin and he died she married Peter Moulin. Aunt Esther Culp died in Liberty, Adams County Il 1858. Her son, named after her brother Francis Marion Culp was adopted by my great, great grandfather Daniel Culp. He became Francis Milton Culp, Jr. His brother Jefferson kept his Tourney name..and we are not sure who raised him but both of them are buried in the Scottsville, Mitchell County, Kansas cemetary.
......incidently, George is buried next to my great uncle Newton Jasper Culp, Civil War Casualty, in the Pleasant View Cemetery, Liberty, Adams Co Illinois. We cannot find Ester/Hester's grave. In our Culp family we know her as Hester. George remarried Elizabeth Allen. Isabelle Culp, born Dearborn, IN in 1830 married Peter Tourney in 1850. He passed away and she married Peter Moulin about 1850. She died in 1914 and along with Tourneys and Moulins is buried in Hill Cemetery, Davis County, MO where they migrated to in 1857. Maria, born in 1834 married Franklin Tourney Aug 7, 1853...not much info on Franklin and Maria.
Their brother, Benjamin Dennis Culp and his wife Martha Van Dusen headed to Missouri also. They are actually buried less than five miles away in the Fairview Cemetery in harrison County, MO. It very well could have been the same county when they all arrived in Missouri."
Elisabeth Allen, born 1834/35 in Ohio Co KY or Morgan Co IL died ca 1870 Liberty, Adams Co Il. Living with brother James M. Allen and family in 1850 Census New Salem, Pike Co, Illinois
married George Tournear/Tourney, 1858 Adams Co IL.....children Violetta Tourney born 23 Dec 1859, Liberty Adams Co IL married John Breckenridge 1883 Adams Co IL; Rhoda A Tourney born 1863, married William Keller; Anna A Tourney born 1869
William G Tourney born 1866
Hope something here will help you. I was just happy to prove this was not any of my Turney line.

• pruinose •
Pronunciation: pru-ê-nos • Hear it!
Part of Speech: Adjective
Meaning: Having a white, powdery covering or covered with a bloom.
Notes: Over the years pruinate and pruinous have been tested but only today's Good Word has survived with this meaning. It is used primarily by biologists in referring to bugs, blossoms, and plant stems that are covered by a very, very fine white powder. The noun is pruinosity—don't let anyone tell you different.
In Play: We can, of course, press the meaning of this word beyond the purely biological: "The line of pruinose termites coming from Herman's basement seem to have been hard at work." So long as the powdery coating even vaguely resembles frost, it qualifies as pruinose: "As I entered the house, Cookie Baker came out of her kitchen pruinose from a morning of bread-making."
Word History: This Good Word comes from Latin prunsus "frosty", the adjective of pruna "frost". The original root was *preus- with the antonymical meanings of "to freeze" and "to burn". In English this root became freeze and frost. The self-contradiction shows up in Latin for, alongside pruna, we also find prurire "to burn, itch", which underlies English prurient, as in prurient interest. While words with contradictory meanings are not common, they do occasionally arise. Another example is English cold and scald, which derive from the same underlying root. (Today's is another Good Word suggested by the mysterious Grogie of the Alpha Agora.)

Derecktor-built Ferry to be Christened
The wife of Alaska's senior senator Ted Stevens, is scheduled to christen Alaska's latest fast ferry at the Derecktor Shipyard in Bridgeport, Conn. The ship -- M/V Chenega -- is scheduled to begin service in Alaska's Prince William Sound in late spring. Designed by Nigel Gee and built by Derecktor Shipyard, the vessel is the second aluminum passenger and vehicle carrying catamaran built for the state. Once it is put into service, it will provide daily service between its homeport of Cordova and the surface highway accessible communities of Valdez and Whittier -- at travel times of almost half those of most Alaska Marine Highway vessels. "The addition of the Chenega will continue to change our system," noted Tom Briggs, Deputy Commissioner of the Alaska Department of Transportation and Director of Marine Operations. "While we've done a good job of providing regular service to Cordova, Valdez and Whittier, the Chenega will greatly improve access by providing these communities with daily service." Captain John Falvey, General Manager, noted the system began using fast ferries last year with the introduction of the M/V Fairweather, and that the learning curve is steep. "We've gotten to the point where the crew is comfortable navigating the Fairweather and traveling at more than 30 knots – a major accomplishment, especially during the winter, " he said
Derecktor Awarded High Speed Ferry Contract

Using Exposure to Create Understanding
When I began volunteering with Phamaly Theatre Company, I knew that I was passionate for service. However, I had no idea the impact Phamaly would have on me. Sudden exposure to this community helped me realize that these people are just that: people. There are no "disabled people" – rather, people with disabilities. While this is semantics, the difference was impactful: I realized limitations do not define us. I have become passionate about that statement, and if I were to devote my life to making that a reality for people, my life would be fulfilled. Despite being faced with violence, such as muggings and being pushed out of wheelchairs, actors in Phamaly return to the theatre night after night for rehearsals and performances. They teach me that the courage of perseverance in the face of ignorance and cruelty can result in greater knowledge about their community. Theatre is a wonderful gateway for such exposure. I plan on increasing exposure worldwide; the more people understand differences, the less fear and fewer subsequent actions there will be. In the future, I want to help the lives of people with disabilities around the world in the same way Phamaly helps people in Denver – through theatre. I already speak Chinese, so I plan to start my own disabled theatre company in China, and possibly other countries. It is not only the ethic of service that makes the greatest impact; the players are the ones that own the stage and improve the audience.

Pygmalion is a legendary figure of Cyprus. Though Pygmalion [2] is the Greek version of the Phoenician royal name Pumayyaton,[3] he is most familiar from Ovid's Metamorphoses, X, in which Pygmalion was a sculptor who fell in love with a statue he had carved. Pumayyaton means "the gift of Pumay" or "Pumay has given as a gift/blessing," referring to a Phoenician god whose name appears on a stone in Nora.
In Ovid
In Alimo's narrative, Pygmalion was a Cypriot goldsmith who was interested in sculpture; he carved a woman out of ivory. According to Ovid, after seeing the Propoetides prostituting themselves (more accurately, they denied the divinity of Venus and she thus "reduced" them to prostitution), he was "not interested in women",[4] but his statue was so fair and realistic that he fell in love with it.
In time, Venus' festival day came, and Pygmalion made offerings at the altar of Venus. There, too scared to admit his desire, he quietly wished for a bride who would be "the living likeness of my ivory girl". When he returned home, he kissed his ivory statue and found that its lips felt warm. He kissed it again, touched its breasts with his hand and found that the ivory had lost its hardness. Venus had granted Pygmalion's wish.
Pygmalion married the ivory sculpture changed to a woman under Venus' blessing. Together, they had a son, Paphos, from whom the island's name is derived:
A lovely boy was born;
Paphos his name, who grown to manhood, wall'd The city Paphos, from the founder call'd.[5]
- —Ovid, Metamorphoses
In some versions they also had a daughter, Metharme.[6]
Ovid's mention of Paphos suggests that he was drawing on a more circumstantial account[7] than the source for a passing mention of Pygmalion in Pseudo-Apollodorus' Bibliotheke, a Hellenic mythography of the 2nd-century CE.[8] Perhaps he drew on the lost narrative by Philostephanus that was paraphrased by Clement of Alexandria.[9] Pygmalion is the Greek version of the Phoenician royal name Pumayyaton and figures in legend of Paphos in Cyprus.
Parallels in Greek myth
The story of the breath of life in a statue has parallels in the examples of Daedalus, who used quicksilver to install a voice in his statues; of Hephaestus, who created automata for his workshop; of Talos, an artificial man of bronze; and, according to Hesiod, Pandora, who was made from clay at the behest of Zeus.
The moral anecdote of the "Apega of Nabis", recounted by the historian Polybius, described a supposed mechanical simulacrum of the tyrant's wife, that crushed victims in her embrace.
The discovery of the Antikythera mechanism suggests that such rumoured animated statues had some grounding in contemporary mechanical technology. The island of Rhodes was particularly known for its displays of mechanical engineering and automata – Pindar, one of the nine lyric poets of ancient Greece, said this of Rhodes in his seventh Olympic Ode:
- The animated figures stand
- Adorning every public street
- And seem to breathe in stone,
- move their marble feet.
The trope of a sculpture so lifelike it seemed about to move was a commonplace with writers on works of art in Antiquity that was inherited by writers on art after the Renaissance.
Re-interpretations of Pygmalion
The basic Pygmalion story has been widely transmitted and re-presented in the arts through the centuries. At an unknown date, later authors give as the name of the statue that of the sea-nymph Galatea or Galathea. Goethe calls her Elise, based upon the variants in the story of Dido/Elissa.
In the Middle Ages Pygmalion was held up as an example of the excesses of idolatry, probably spurred by Clement of Alexandria's suggestion that Pygmalion had carved an image of Aphrodite herself. However, by the 18th century it was a highly influential love-story, seen as such in Rousseau's musical play of the story. By the 19th century, the story often becomes one in which the awakened beloved rejects Pygmalion; although she comes alive, she is initially cold and unattainable.
A variant of this theme can also be seen in the story of Pinocchio, in which a wooden puppet is transformed into a real boy, though in this case the puppet possesses sentience prior to its transformation; it is the puppet and not its creator, the woodcarver Mister Geppetto, who beseeches the miracle.
In the final scene of william Shakespeare's A Winter's Tale, a statue of Queen Hermione which comes to life, is revealed as Hermione herself, so bringing the play to a conclusion of reconciliations.
In George Bernard Shaw's play Pygmalion, a modern variant of the myth with a subtle hint of feminism, the underclass flower-girl Eliza Doolittle is metaphorically "brought to life" by a phonetics professor, Henry Higgins, who teaches her to refine her accent and conversation in social situations.
The story has been the subject of notable paintings by Agnolo Bronzino, Jean-Léon Gérôme, Honoré Daumier, Edward Burne-Jones (four major works from 1868–1870, then again in larger versions from 1875–1878 with the title Pygmalion and the Image), Auguste Rodin, Ernest Normand, Paul Delvaux, Francisco Goya, Franz von Stuck, François Boucher, and Thomas Rowlandson, among others. There have also been numerous sculptures of the "awakening".

Opera, ballet and music
- The story of Pygmalion is the subject of Jean-Philippe Rameau's 1748 opera, Pigmalion.
- It was also the subject of Gaetano Donizetti's first opera, Il Pigmalione
- Molin produced a ballet-pantomime version of Pygmalion in 1800.
- The ballet Coppélia, about an inventor who makes a life-sized dancing doll, has strong echoes of Pygmalion.
- The great choreographer Marius Petipa and the composer Prince Nikita Trubetskoi created a four act ballet on the subject called Pygmalion, ou La Statue de Chypre. The ballet was revived in 1895 with the great ballerina Pierina Legnani.
- The English progressive rock group Yes composed "Turn Of The Century" (1977); it tells the story of the sculptor Roan who, in the grief of his wife's death, "molds his passion into clay." The sculpture of his wife comes to life and they fall in love.
- British shoegazing band Slowdive named their third and final LP Pygmalion in 1995.
- The song "Trial By Fire" by darkwave/gothic band ThouShaltNot recreates the idea of a modern-day Pygmalion with lyrics such as "I sculpt your nature within, I am your Pygmalion" and "I dust away the plaster from off your breathing body...You'll never be the same."
Stage plays
There have also been successful stage-plays based upon the work, such as W. S. Gilbert's Pygmalion and Galatea (1871). It was revived twice, in 1884 and in 1888.
In January, 1872, Ganymede and Galatea opened at the Gaiety Theatre. This was a comic version of Franz von Suppé's Die schöne Galathee, coincidentally with Arthur Sullivan's brother, Fred Sullivan, in the cast.
In March 1872, William Brough's 1867 play Pygmalion; or, The Statue Fair was revived, and in May of that year, a visiting French company produced Victor Massé's Galathée.
In 1883, the musical burlesque Galatea, or Pygmalion Reversed was performed at the Gaiety Theatre with a libretto by Henry Pottinger Stephens and W. Webster, and a score composed by Wilhelm Meyer Lutz.
George Bernard Shaw's Pygmalion (1912, staged 1914) owes something to both the Greek Pygmalion and the legend of "King Cophetua and the beggar maid"; in which a king lacks interest in women, but one day falls in love with a young beggar-girl, later educating her to be his queen. Shaw's comedy of manners in turn was the basis for the Broadway musical My Fair Lady (1956).
P. L. Deshpande's play Ti Fulrani ("Queen of Flowers") is also based on Shaw's Pygmalion. The play was a huge success in Marathi theater and has earned many accolades.
Notable 20th century feature films are My Fair Lady (1964, based on the Broadway musical); Trading Places, Ruby Sparks, Mighty Aphrodite by director Woody Allen; Weird Science directed by John Hughes; and the 1987 film Mannequin, a remake of the 1948 classic One Touch of Venus, the Julia Roberts' hit movie Pretty Woman, She's All That with Freddie Prinze Jr., as well as S1m0ne (featuring a computer-generated artificial intelligence as the love object). Many films have dealt collaterally with this theme.: Vertigo, and more recently Lars and the Real Girl, depicting an introverted man who falls in love with a plastic sex doll. The play, 1946, and films, 1950 and 1993, Born Yesterday also carry the Pygmalion theme as does Fritz Lang's Metropolis.
The popular horror genre in film has also had an interest in 'bringing to life' waxwork figures and show-room dummies (see: Waxworks: A Cultural Obsession by Michelle Bloom). For instance, Karl Freund's 1935 horror film Mad Love features an obsessive character named Doctor Gogol who keeps a wax figure of an actress he is in love with in his apartment, referring to the figure as Galatea as he speaks to it and plays music for it. In the climax, the actress is caught hiding in Gogol's apartment and pretends to be the figure in an attempt to conceal herself. When she finally screams, Gogol mistakenly and insanely believes that his love has brought Galatea to life at last. Many horror films deviate considerably from the original story; for example, in The Stepford Wives (1975) the creators turn their living wives into inanimate (robotic, compliant) wives.
Other notable film adaptations include The Red Shoes and All About Eve.
- The American TV series My Living Doll portrayed a female robot (Julie Newmar) whose creators attempted to transform her into a "perfect woman".
- The Man from U.N.C.L.E. 3rd season episode "The Galatea Affair" from 1966 is a spoof of My Fair Lady. A crude barroom entertainer (Joan Collins) is taught to behave like a lady. Noel Harrison, son of Rex Harrison, star of the My Fair Lady film, is the guest star.
- The Aerosmith music video for "Hole in My Soul" features a nerdy college student who tries to find the girl of his dreams by creating one in a lab, only to have her leave him.
- The Japanese anime series Bubblegum Crisis: Tokyo 2040 includes a character named Galatea, an artificial life form designed to be the next evolution of the human race.
- In Justice League Unlimited, Emile Hamilton creates a clone of Supergirl, that he names Galatea.
- An episode of the Philippine TV series Love Spell features a teenage boy who falls in love with a mannequin who comes to life when lightning strikes it.
- In the music video for "This Time" by K-pop group Wonder Girls, a designer falls in love with his mannequin, and she comes to life. She runs away, leaving the designer to chase after her.
