I have a vivid image of of our daugher A, almost a year old, crawling around in the raspberry patch on her first picking expedition and cramming her mouth full of them. Before we left the farm that day, we insisted that we pay for the extra pound of berries that she most definitely had packed into her distended belly.For the past couple of years, however, we've let the need to sleep in on weekend mornings overtake our desire for our favorite fruits of summer.
It must be that I'm feeling well-rested these days. I checked the weather forecast and saw that Saturday morning would offer a stellar berry-picking climate – temperatures in the 60's and low humidity. That's important not only for the comfort and happiness of the picker, but raspberries are on the fragile side, and will begin their decline into soft, moldy piles soon after picking, especially if it's hotter than a roofer's armpits outside. Of course, you can always just get home and stick a Ziploc bag-full of berries in the freezer for mid-winter muffins, but I wanted to use these red, red lovelies in their fresh-picked state.
Plus, my sister-in-law was on her way from Maine to visit us for her birthday, and I had a special cake in mind. I made it about 3 years ago for A's 5th birthday, and she's been asking for it every year since then. It is quite a beauty, Raspberry Lemon Mousse Trifle Cake from the August/September 2002 issue of Fine Cooking. The recipe is rather lengthy, but it's totally worth it for making birthday memories.
Layers of sponge cake, lemon curd-mascarpone mousse, raspberry syrup and a good dose of fresh raspberries. Yum.
This is how the cake turned out…well worth the groggy morning and prickly raspberry bush scratches. I made extra raspberry syrup so that I could shake up a few batches of martinis. What better way to celebrate a beautiful summer birthday?
Raspberry Martinis
for one drink:
2 ounces gin
1 ounce fresh lime juice
1 1/2 ounces raspberry syrup (see recipe below)
1 plump raspberry
Pour the gin, lime juice and syrup in a cocktail shaker filled with ice and shake briskly.
Strain into a cocktail glass, and plop in the raspberry. Sit down on your favorite lawn chair and sigh before taking a sip.
Raspberry Simple Syrup:
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup water
1 cup fresh raspberries
Bring the sugar and water to a boil in a small saucepan, whisking to dissolve sugar. Set aside until cool.
Puree the raspberries in a food processor or pass them through the fine disk of a food mill. Strain into the saucepan of syrup.
Makes about 1 cup.

A decision on whether to revoke the licence of a bar locked in a dispute with the police will be made next week after the two sides clashed at a town hall hearing.
Lawyers representing Loco lounge in Station Road, Chingford, and Waltham Forest Police argued over a claim the bar had deliberately withheld CCTV evidence after a brawl.
Police are pushing for the venue to be closed, claiming the owners are not responsible licensees because some footage was not initially handed to police.
The venue's owners refute this, claiming they were required to follow data protection procedures before eventually releasing all the CCTV.
Police had initially called for the bar's opening hours to be reduced due to crime and anti-social behaviour.
But licensing officer PC Donna Wilcox decided to push for the closure following the dispute over the CCTV.
The two sides came face-to-face during a three-hour meeting of the licensing sub-committee last night.
Representing the police, barrister Matthew Butt claimed that, as well as concerns over crime and disorder and serious violence after midnight, the bar's management made no attempt to call police about incidents and made a "blatant attempt to conceal" evidence.
David Dadds, representing Loco Lounge licensee, Natalie Keefe, and premises supervisor, Kerry O'Reilly, claimed the venue was being unfairly singled out by police and full footage of the incident was supplied within 24 hours of a data protection form being filled out by PC Wilcox.
Police insist the footage should have been handed over within 24 hours after the initial request, as required by the terms of the bar's licence.
But Mr Dadds said he had advised the Mrs Keefe to insist the form was completed before handing over the footage and took "full responsibility" for the delay.
However, he accused the police of a "fishing expedition" and said officers were trawling through hours of CCTV to find licence breaches.
Mr Dadds said his clients believe the police review was triggered after an incident when a man suspected of using class A drugs pulled a knife on security staff when challenged.
The man was disarmed, but he was handed over to bouncers at nearby The Fountain, who were said to have known him, before police arrived.
Footage of the brawl in the forecourt of the bar, which spilled out into the nearby bus depot, was shown to the committee.
The video showed a man punch another man before the brawl started.
Mr Butt said: "Not handing over the footage was completely unacceptable.
"There is an obvious problem with late-night violence after midnight and we're not confident the premises holders should be trusted."
Of 14 representations made to the committee, 12 were in support of the bar remaining open.
Prior to the decision next week, Mr Dadds is asking the committee to consider putting extra conditions on bar's licence or to otherwise consider reverting the licensing hours to 1.30am at weekends.

The project was to "save" and remodel a cape built in the late 40's without changing the envelope or adding to the footprint. The house is located in a rapidly changing area where small houses are demolished and replaced by very large size houses creating a very homogenous built environment.
The house is the residence of a young family with two small children and had to respond to their needs and life style.
In the process we were guided by the design principles of affordability, simplicity, sustainability and comfort.

"I ordered the peonie collection for my wedding in July 2011 in Melbourne Australia. I was hesitant in ordering as was not sure of paper and print quality or whether they would reach me in time! It is excellent! The customer service was excellent as I was able to update my order regularly. There were a number of changes that had to be made before printing and the Wedding Paper Divas were very helpful. Even with so many changes my invites still arrived on time. I would definitely use this company again."
"The paper is so thick I love it! Not cheap looking or feeling AT ALL! The design is just beautiful. I was a little disappointed that I couldn't change the color on the flowers or font, but it's ok. I was just trying to match my wedding color, which was so hard to match with anything. Quickly got over it and ordered the strawberry colored peonies and they were so beautiful. Can't wait to put these in the mail and hear all the great comments on how beautiful they are. Customer service was very helpful and quick at responding. Can't wait to plan a party and use them for something fun!"
"I ordered the purple ones, and when i got them it was so exciting! The pattern is better then i thought it would be. It goes all the way around the card onto the back! They're beautiful and the paper quality is great. I couldn't ask for a better product and experience."
"I love the way these turned out - I bought them along with the invitations, response cards and direction cards. I paid far less than others I know for wedding invitations that, in my opinion, looked better! I bought these during a promotion and when the code didn't work, I used the online chat feature and the representative took the money off in a matter of minutes! I will use Wedding Paper Divas again and recommend them whole-heartedly!"
"I absolutely loved this design and when I received the finished product in person I knew I had made the right choice. The color was true to what I had seen online and the everything about the card was elegant and classy with out being your typical stuffy wedding thank you note. I have received multiple compliments as people have gotten their note and I am so happy that I found Wedding paper Divas in time to do most of my wedding stationary. thank you"

text: NEW YORK ( The Deal) -- Building upon last week's action by the Federal Reserve Board, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. on Tuesday proposed that the country's eight globally significant banks hold capital equal to 6% of assets, in some cases more than doubling what the Fed required on July 2 when it implemented international guidelines on bank capital. The action will have the practical effect of restraining big banks' reliance on debt to finance their activities and prodding them to seek additional equity capital. If finalized, the requirements would take effect Jan. 1, 2018. The move was expected -- Fed officials last week acknowledged that its action would soon be supplemented by the FDIC, and banking regulators have acknowledged in public comments for months that the biggest U.S. institutions likely would be under tougher constraints than Basel requires. The affected institutions are JPMorgan Chase ( JPM), Citigroup ( C), Bank of America Merrill Lynch, Wells Fargo Bank ( WFC), Goldman Sachs ( GS), Morgan Stanley ( MS), Bank of New York Mellon ( BK) and State Street ( STT). The banking industry quickly reacted with a harsh assessment of the FDIC's action. "While we support financial institutions holding more capital, this new proposal, combined with existing capital and leverage requirements, will make it harder for banks to lend and keep the economic recovery going," said Tim Pawlenty, president of the Financial Services Roundtable, the trade group for the 100 largest financial companies. "To increase the safety and soundness of the industry, the vast majority of banks have already made important strides to increase capital levels. This new heightened requirement would only impact U.S. institutions, resulting in American banks being put at a global competitive disadvantage." Frank Keating, president of the American Bankers Association, said federal regulators' stress tests show that the largest U.S. banks are already well capitalized and the latest move will serve only to increase the cost of capital. "Just when there appears to be some agreement on international capital standards, U.S. regulators are proposing to undermine the whole exercise under a mistaken belief that doubling capital requirements will have no impact on credit availability or the ability to hedge risk." Although the ABA criticized the latest international capital standards -- drafted by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision and known as Basel III -- Keating said the Basel accords at least had the merit of creating a similar framework for global banking institutions.

Remarks by Rupert Murdoch, Chairman & CEO, News Corporation
Melbourne, Australia
8 November 1999
Chairman Hugh Morgan, Founding Director Dick Woolcott, Executive Director Prue Holstein, ladies and gentlemen.
It is always a great pleasure to be back in Sydney, soon to be host to the Olympic Games and now the headquarters of Fox Studios and News Limited.
It is an even greater pleasure for me to have the opportunity of sharing with you some thoughts about the role of Australia in Asia, and, indeed, in the world as we approach the new century, and this country engages in what some have called the most significant change in Australian foreign policy since the end of World War II.
A few years ago my son, Lachlan, addressed a meeting in Melbourne of the Australian-American Association. I am pleased that he described our family so accurately. Lachlan said that ``An Australian influence nourishes the family, even in the United States...I have got to say that I love both countries deeply, and they are both an essential part of my identity.'' I share my son's sentiment, especially in the context of what I want to discuss tonight.
We all have to be concerned that the current reappraisals of Australian foreign policy - - driven by recent events in East Timor - - come out right -
- Right for Australia;
- Right for our allies;
- And right for the peoples of the region with which Australia is inextricably tied.
Let me start by saying that I have observed with some concern the spread of the notion that a nation's foreign policy can be driven purely by humanitarian or moralistic concerns, divorced from attention to national interest. In Britain, Kim Beazley's old friend, Tony Blair, has found that pursuit of a moral imperative in foreign policy can often conflict embarrassingly with his country's interests. And when it does, self-interest will prevail, even if that means leaving Foreign Minister Robin Cook with orders to sell a load of weapons.

Corn futures declined again Monday, with the main driver of the decline apparently being persistent weakness stemming from the USDA WASDE report from February 8. Improved precipitation prospects for both Argentina and the U.S. may also have weighed upon prices. Indeed, the market seemed to experience more of the same in Monday night-Tuesday morning activity. March corn slid 2.25 cents to$7.00/bushel overnight, while December fell 2.0 cents to $5.5675.
Soybean futures continued their recent breakdown Monday, but bounced slightly in overnight trading. Similar supply/demand fundamentals and weather considerations to those oppressing the corn market have been weighing upon beans. However, unlike corn, the nearby soybean contract settled on a par with technical support associated with its 40-day moving average Monday afternoon, which may have prompted the modest rebound experienced Monday night and Tuesday morning. March beans had risen 5.25 cents to $14.3675 in the pre-dawn hour, while March soyoil bounced 0.09 cents to 51.33 cents/pound, and March meal gained $2.9 to $415.9/ton.
Wheat futures continued their Monday decline in early Tuesday trading as well. Concurrent losses in the corn and soybean markets probably contributed to the slide yesterday, but the bulk of the ongoing drop can almost surely be blamed upon improvements in the Southern Plains moisture situation. Not only was that region blessed with significant rainfall over the weekend, a respected private forecaster released a guardedly optimistic weather forecast Monday morning. March CBOT wheat futures slipped another 3.5 cents to $7.38/bushel in overnight trading, while March KCBT wheat skidded 0.5 cents to $7.8825, and March MGE futures lost 1.0 cent to $8.25.
CME live cattle futures rose slightly Monday, then moved sideways to lower in Tuesday morning electronic activity. The concurrent bounce in choice cutout values may have supported the Chicago market, but traders will probably need to see much more of the same before they will be willing to actively sponsor the long side. Still, having the most-active April contract bounce back rather sharply from the eight-month low reached in early trading may inspire significant technical buying. April cattle were unchanged at 130.35 cents/pound overnight, while August dipped 0.07 cents to 126.35. Meanwhile, March feeder cattle slid 0.17 cents to 144.62 cents/pound, and August fell 0.07 cents to 157.60.
After rising slightly Monday, hog futures lost ground again overnight. Bullish traders were almost surely hoping weekend price stability had set the stage for a sustained rebound, especially with the CME lean hog index likely to remain above the 90.00-cent level when officially quoted later this morning. However, sizeable cash and wholesale losses Monday afternoon are probably weighing upon prices at this juncture. Technical traders may be looking for a follow-through breakdown from a seeming 'bear flag' formation on the April chart. April hogs had fallen 0.52 cents to 85.85 cents/pound in the early morning hours, while June had tumbled 0.77 cents to 94.00.
Cotton futures rallied Monday in response to two tentative forecasts for substantial reductions in U.S. cotton plantings this year. However, bulls could not sustain the move in overnight trading. The fact that they proved unable to mount a serious challenge of the recent 84.00-cent March futures high prompted fresh selling. Indeed, the daily chart for the nearby contract now looks like a market putting in a double top. March cotton fell 0.46 cents to 82.46 cents/pound early Tuesday morning, while December dove 0.84 cents to 83.00.

(Redirected from Levity)
Comedy has a popular meaning (stand-up, along with any discourse generally intended to amuse), which differs from its academic definition, namely the comic theatre, whose Western origins are found in Ancient Greece. The theatrical genre can be simply described as a dramatic performance pitting two societies against each other in an amusing agon or conflict. Comedy contains variations on the elements of surprise, incongruity, conflict, repetitiveness, and the effect of opposite expectations, and there are many recognized genres.

- A good comedian can say things funny and other guys just say funny things.
- Fred Allen, attributed by Robert Lemke in The Sunday Press (Binghamton, NY), "Rock 'n Roll 'Musically Horrid" Says Ex-2-a-Dayer," pg. 2-C, col. 1 (9 August 1959)
- Without laughter life on our planet would be intolerable. So important is laughter to us that humanity highly rewards members of one of the most unusual professions on earth, those who make a living by inducing laughter in others. This is very strange if you stop to think of it: that otherwise sane and responsible citizens should devote their professional energies to causing others to make sharp, explosive barking-like exhalations.
- Steve Allen, Funny People (1981)
- I think that the tendency for most people is to fall back on a comic interpretation of things — because things are so sad, so terrible. If you didn't laugh you'd kill yourself. But the truth of the matter is that existence in general is very very tragic, very very sad, very brutal and very unhappy.
- What we eventually run up against are the forces of humourlessness, and let me assure you that the humourless as a bunch don't just not know what's funny, they don't know what's serious. They have no common sense, either, and shouldn't be trusted with anything.
- Martin Amis, "Political Correctness: Robert Bly and Philip Larkin" (1997)
- By calling him humourless I mean to impugn his seriousness, categorically: such a man must rig up his probity ex nihilo.
- Martin Amis, Experience (2000), Part I: "Failures of Tolerance"
- Laughter is the closest thing to the grace of God.
- Karl Barth, as quoted in The Harper Book Of Quotations (1993) edited by Robert I. Fitzhenry, p. 223
- Jesting and levity lead a man to lewdness.
- Akiba ben Joseph Pirkei Avot, 3:17.
- Humor tells you where the trouble is.
- Louise Bernikow, in Alone in America: The Search for Companionship (1986), p. 113
- Tragedy is when I cut my finger. Comedy is when you fall into an open sewer and die.
- Mel Brooks, The 2,000 Year Old Man (1961)
- It is the duty of the humor of any given nation in time of high crisis to attack the catastrophe that faces it in such a manner as to cause the people to laugh at it in such a way that they cannot die before they are killed.
- Lord Buckley, "H-Bomb" (1960), a comic monologue), as quoted in "It's Comedy! From Skit To Song To Satire" in The New York Times (27 October 1989)
- Comedy is tragedy plus time.
- Carol Burnett, as quoted in Starting from Scratch (1989) by Rita Mae Brown
- Humor is properly the exponent of low things; that which first renders them poetical to the mind. The man of Humor sees common life, even mean life, under the new light of sportfulness and love; whatever has existence has a charm for him. Humor has justly been regarded as the finest perfection of poetic genius. He who wants it, be his other gifts what they may, has only half a mind; an eye for what is above him, not for what is about him or below him.
- Thomas Carlyle, in 'Schiller" (1831), in Fraser's Magazine; later in Critical and Miscellaneous Essays (1839)
- Imagine if you could actually be that happy? That would be powerful, man. People would be tunneling under the street to avoid you. They'd go "Oh, man — is that happy guy still out there?
- Jim Carrey, in Jim Carrey's Unnatural Act (1991)
- There are two thoughts that will ensure success in all you do; (1) Don't tell everything you know, and (2) until Ace Ventura, no actor had considered talking through his ass.
- Jim Carrey, as quoted in Major in Success (2003) by Patrick Combs and Jack Canfield (2003), p. 60.
- The most difficult character in comedy is that of the fool, and he must be no simpleton that plays the part.
- Miguel de Cervantes, as quoted in The Two Hands of God: The Myths of Polarity (1969) by Alan Watts
- It is not funny that anything else should fall down, only that a man should fall down … Why do we laugh? Because it is a gravely religious matter: it is the Fall of Man. Only man can be absurd: for only man can be dignified.
- G. K. Chesterton, "Spiritualism", in All Things Considered (1908)
- Don't you know Sunday? Don't you know that his jokes are always so big and simple that one has never thought of them?
- G. K. Chesterton, in The Man Who Was Thursday (1908), Ch. X: The Duel
- A joke's a very serious thing.
- Charles Churchill, The Ghost (1763), book iv, line 1386
- If I can get you to laugh with me, you like me better, which makes you more open to my ideas. And, if I can persuade you to laugh at a particular point that I make, by laughing at it you acknowledge it as true.
- John Cleese, as quoted in What Winners Do to Win! : The 7 Minutes a Day That Can Change Your Life (2003) by Nicki Joy, p. 113
- Erasmus dramatizes a well-established political position: that of the fool who claims license to criticize all and sundry without reprisal, since his madness defines him as not fully a person and therefore not a political being with political desires and ambitions. The Praise of Folly, therefore sketches the possibility of a position for the critic of the scene of political rivalry, a position not simply impartial between the rivals but also, by self-definition, off the stage of rivalry altogether.
- J. M. Coetzee, "Erasmus's Praise of Folly: Rivalry and Madness," Neophilologus 76 (1992), p. 1
- Not living in fear is a great gift, because certainly these days we do it so much. And do you know what I like about comedy? You can't laugh and be afraid at the same time — of anything. If you're laughing, I defy you to be afraid.
- I don't perceive my role as a newsman at all. I'm a comedian from stem to stern. You can cut me open and count the rings of jokes. If people learn something about the news by watching the show, that is incidental to my goal.
- Stephen Colbert, when asked what he perceives his role to be, given that many young people claim to get their news from The Daily Show and The Colbert Report, on newsman."Harvard University: A Conversation with Stephen Colbert" (1 December 2006).
- Men will confess to treason, murder, arson, false teeth, or a wig. How many of them will own up to a lack of humour?
- Frank Moore Colby, (1926) The Colby Essays, Vol. 1., "Satire and Teeth". Reported in Robert Andrews, The Columbia Dictionary of Quotations, Columbia University Press. (1993) ISBN 0231071949. p. 431
- Humor, to me, is a crucial part of life in general. It's such an incredibly subtle and passionate way of relating to people. Your sense of humor communicates what you are, your approach to life. You're very vulnerable when you make a joke. Not when you're telling a joke so much, but when you're joking around. To me, it's just an instinctive, natural part of character development—showing what a character is. Also, you do it (I do it), when you're under pressure, it's a way of dealing with impossible situations. Untenable situations can only be dealt with through humor, if not despair and resignation. So, I prefer the humor. That's how I like to use it in a horror film. But it's not any different in how I would use it in any other film.
- David Cronenberg [1]
- I think you are absolutely right about everything, except I think humor springs from rage, hay fever, overdue rent and miscellaneous hell.
- Will Cuppy, in a letter to Max Eastman, 1936, about Eastman's book, The Enjoyment of Laughter
- Unpublished source: "Eastman mss.", Lilly Library Manuscript Collections, Indiana University
- I detest jokes – when somebody tells me one I feel my IQ dropping; the brain cells start to disappear. But something is funny when the person delivering the line doesn't know it's funny or doesn't treat it as a joke. Maybe it comes from a place of truth, or it's a sort of rage against society.
- John Christopher "Johnny" Depp. From an interview in Live magazine, "Here's Johnny", The Mail on Sunday, October 30 2011, interviewed by Martyn Palmer
- Thou canst not joke an Enemy into a Friend; but thou may'st a Friend into an Enemy.
- There are no exact guidelines. There are probably no guidelines at all. The only thing I can recommend at this stage is a sense of humor, an ability to see things in their ridiculous and absurd dimensions, to laugh at others and at ourselves, a sense of irony regarding everything that calls out for parody in this world.
- "You should not take old people who are already dead seriously. It does them injustice. We immortals do not like things to be taken seriously. We like joking. Seriousness, young man, is an accident of time. It consists, I don't mind telling you in confidence, in putting too high a value on time. I, too, once put too high a value on time. For that reason I wished to be a hundred years old. In eternity, however, there is no time, you see. Eternity is a mere moment, just long enough for a joke."
- Quamquam ridentem dicere verum quid vetat? ut pueris olim dant crustula blandi doctores, elementa velint ut discere prima.
- What is to prevent one from telling truth as he laughs, even as teachers sometimes give cookies to children to coax them into learning their A B C?
- Horace, Satires, Book I, Satire 1, H. Fairclough, trans. (1926), p. 7
- I never dare to write
As funny as I can.
- Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr., in The Height of the Ridiculous (1852)
- I can't even really tell a joke. I find being funny very hard work. I am always asked about it and I feel guilty saying that, but it's the truth. I love my work but it ain't easy.
- The more one suffers, the more, I believe, has one a sense for the comic. It is only by the deepest suffering that one acquires true authority in the use of the comic, an authority which by one word transforms as by magic the reasonable creature one calls man into a caricature.
- Søren Kierkegaard, in Stages on Life's Way (1845)
- The law of levity is allowed to supersede the law of gravity.
- R. A. Lafferty, in Space Chantey (1968)
- That's part of our policy, is not to be taken seriously, because I think our opposition, whoever they may be, in all their manifest forms, don't know how to handle humor. You know, and we are humorous, we are, what are they, Laurel and Hardy. That's John and Yoko, and we stand a better chance under that guise, because all the serious people, like Martin Luther King, and Kennedy, and Gandhi, got shot.
- John Lennon, as quoted in a BBC interview with David Wigg (8 May 1969)
- Creator — A comedian whose audience is afraid to laugh.
- H. L. Mencken, in A Mencken Chrestomathy, ch. 30 (1949)
- If we can't have sanity, we can fake it with humor. Humor gives you the same distance from the situation, the same metaview, only laughing is easier than sanity and possibly more fun.
- Jude Milhon, attributed via Usenet
- Humor is the contemplation of the finite from the point of view of the infinite.
- Christian Morgenstern, as quoted in The Hidden Souls of Words (2004) by Mary Cox Garner, p. 142
- Humor is perhaps a sense of intellectual perspective: an awareness that some things are really important, others not; and that the two kinds are most oddly jumbled in everyday affairs.
- Christopher Morley, as quoted in An Enchanted Life : An Adept's Guide to Masterful Magick (2001) by Patricia Telesco, p. 189
- As soon as you realize everything's a joke, being the Comedian is the only thing that makes sense.
- Alan Moore, in Watchmen (1986)
- I'd like to make you laugh for about ten minutes. Though I'm gonna be on for an hour.
- Richard Pryor, reported in [http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/4517750.stm "In quotes: Richard Pryor" at BBC News (11 December 2005)
- Now everything is funny as long as it is happening to somebody Else, but when it happens to you, why it seems to lose some of its Humor, and if it keeps on happening, why the entire laughter kinder Fades out of it.
- Will Rogers, in "Warning to Jokers: Lay off the Prince", in The Illiterate Digest (1924), p. 131
- Nothing is more curious than the almost savage hostility that Humour excites in those who lack it.
- George Saintsbury, in A Last Vintage, p. 172
- Moria and stultitia are both rendered nowadays as 'folly', but both have far stronger senses than folly has now. They imply derangement of mind, madness, mania. Such are the defects attributed to Christians by the worldly-wise. And vice-versa. ... Although the mutual laughter may seem six of one and half-a-dozen of the other, it is not. The Christian is profoundly mad merely by the standards of the world. To the world the wicked seem wise, but are mad in the sight of God. The Christian is touched by the Infinite and will not only have the last laugh at the end of time: even now he laughs more insanely than the worldlings.
- Michael Andrew Screech, Laughter at the Foot of the Cross (1998), p. 73
- Comedy is simply a funny way of being serious.
- Peter Ustinov, as quoted in Morrow's International Dictionary of Contemporary Quotations (1982) by Jonathon Green
- The man with the real sense of humor is the man who can put himself in the spectator's place and laugh at his own misfortunes. That is what I am called upon to do every day.
- Bert Williams, minstrel show comedian, in "The Comic Side of Trouble" in The American Magazine (January 1918), p. 33
- Maslow's psychology, firmly based upon Freud and Watson, simply points out that the optimistic side of the picture has been overlooked; the deterministic laws of our 'lower nature' hold sway in their won field; but there are other laws. Man's freedom is a reality -- a reality that makes a difference to his physical, as well as his mental health. When Frankl's prisoners ceased to believe in the possibility of freedom, they grew sick and died. On the other hand, when they saw that Dachau had no chimney, standing out all night in the rain seemed no great hardship; they laughed and joked. The conclusion needs to be stated in letters ten feet high. In order to realise his possibilities, man must believe in an open future; he must have a vision of something worth doing. And this will not be possible until all the determinism and pessimism that we have inherited from the 19th century -- and which has infected every department of our culture, from poetry to atomic physics -- has been dismissed as fallacious and illogical. Twentieth century science, philosophy, politics, literature -- even music -- has been constructed upon a weltanschauung that leaves half of human nature out of account.
- Colin Wilson in New Pathways In Psychology, p 219-220 (1972)
- A serious and good philosophical work could be written consisting entirely of jokes.

In the main menu, you can choose to start a Course by tapping on Course Selection. Then, you can choose the level and start with the units. Each unit has 3 sections: the first one, with pictures and small explanatory texts about the main topic, a dialogue between people and some questions regarding it and finally a review, in which you can answer questions that cover everything you've seen in the previous sections. You can also choose to listen to the text instead of reading it, or doing both at the same time.
Back to main menu, you can continue your course right where you left it or choose to overview the mistakes you made during the tasks you were given, which is rather useful.
The main disadvantage of this learning application is that there are some other alternatives that are already free, unlike this one.

River Cottage Christmas Special, ABC1, 6pm
There is no more English name on television than the enthusiastically hyphenated Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall. His River Cottage crew don't laugh, they chortle. They tramp about the forest in fawn and brown, and toss about puns with careless abandon. ''I'll be going crackers about the nuts,'' the aforementioned hyphen says. And this before we meet an obviously bonkers man who has spent 15 years studying nuts. Hugh is so enthusiastic about the most inconsequential things you can't help but go along with him. I found myself nodding in agreement that a Far-Eastern nut was a ''beautiful and vigorous thing'', while the hazelnut is ''actually quite a sophisticated nut''. Speaking of nuts, one River Cottage member spends the night in a tree hunting boars. He emerges at dawn thinking he is a badger and is last seen building a sett. All this in pursuit of Christmas dinner. The food looks good, simple and hearty. It's not gripping TV but it warms the gut.
Andre Rieu: Home for Christmas, Channel Nine, 3pm
Christmas means different things to different people. To Dutch violin maestro Andre Rieu, it means opening the doors of his home - sorry, castle - to men's choirs, children's choirs, flying angels and a television crew to put on a pageant. He then leaves his home - sorry, castle - to go Christmas carolling symphony-style, before heading to the church across the road from his home - sorry, castle - to put on another show, for his neighbours. So just another street party, really. Still, with Rieu singing for his supper, this proves a true feast of musical proportions.
Louie, ABC2, 9.30pm
THERE is something unsettling about comedian Louis C.K. Much of this episode takes place inside Louis/Louie's car as he takes his two young daughters to visit his racist Aunt Ellen. The camera is positioned close to his face, which lends a sense of suburban claustrophobia to the whole setting. Louie does daily-drudge comedy, and there's a lot to life that ain't funny. Every so often he'll toss in a bizarro moment, such as two Sikh kids standing outside a service station, to keep things interesting. There have been better episodes in season two than this one. As he sings every lyric in Who Are You?, I was grateful at least he didn't opt for the much-longer Thick as a Brick. I like Louie. He's like a fart in an elevator, funny and awful all at the same time.
Carols in the Domain, Channel Seven, 8.30pm
Previous Christmas outings have attracted Hugh Jackman and Engelbert Humperdinck. Tonight's caravan of carollers features Mark Vincent, Samantha Jade and various Play School presenters. Oh, well. Your best bets for tonight are old-school performers such as John Waters. Matt White and Natalie Barr will host the evening, so expect much hugging and shout-outs to sponsors.

The Manor Reborn, ABC1, 7.30pm
WITH its jaunty soundtrack, cheesy narration and manufactured drama (could an endangered great-crested newt bring the whole project crashing down?!), The Manor Reborn is the type of renovation-reality-history show the Brits have been churning out for years. While almost choking on its tweeness, it is saved by craftsmen and women, the many volunteers and the royal gardener David Howard, who bring real skill and talent to the transformation of a 500-year-old Avebury Manor. Breezily hosted by Penelope Keith, who bustles through the whole exercise wearing the same mildly annoyed expression she sported for The Good Life, The Manor Reborn is perfect pre-Christmas viewing - best watched with a sherry in one hand and the cynicism firmly packed away until new year.
Stephen Hawking's Grand Design, SBS One, 8.35pm
IS THERE a meaning to life? Science holds the key, apparently, and so begins an hour of pop science stating the obvious, intersected with shots of New York, Cambridge and - insert local content here - Sydney. It does give an answer at the end, but I much prefer Monty Python's version: ''Try and be nice to people, avoid eating fat, read a good book every now and then, get some walking in, and try to live together in peace and harmony with people of all creeds and nations.''
The Pillars of the Earth, ABC1, 8.30pm
KEN Follett's critically acclaimed novel has been turned into Sunday night dross that even several gratuitous boob and butt shots can't save. After dispatching Donald Sutherland in episode one, The Pillars of the Earth kills off one of its other big-name stars tonight, but if you make it that far you deserve an extra flagon of mead. Episode three sees Matthew Macfadyen's Prior Philip rescued from near death and attempting to gain control of Shiring's quarry and the Kingsbridge market. There's a lot of great British acting talent staring off into middle distance - Ian McShane, Rufus Sewell and Eddie Redmayne - but it's not enough to hold the interest for two hours.
Valentino: The Last Emperor, SBS One, 9.30pm
YOU might think fashion is frippery and the retirement plans of a couture designer are mere fluff, but it is hard not to be entranced by Valentino Garavani. Sure, the perma-tanned, then 75 year old, with his flotilla of pugs is ripe for parody, but like fashion documentaries such as The September Issue and Bill Cunningham New York, there is much to enjoy and real heart in The Last Emperor. Director Matt Tyrnauer drops in on the designer as he is facing a crossroads in his storied career. While the couture and runway shows are the razzle-dazzle of the fashion world, they don't make money - it's the accessories, perfumes and licensing that do. The financiers are circling and the rumours of Valentino's retirement have sent the fashion pack into overdrive. For Valentino, however, it's all about the dress. He still sketches each design and then discusses the details with his head seamstress, Antonietta de Angelis. However, the real heart of Valentino lies in the love story between the designer and his long-time companion Giancarlo Giammetti. The two met in 1960, probably at the Cafe de Paris in Rome, and have been inseparable ever since. Watching them bicker over the details of where they met, the design of runway shows and the placement of a bow-tie, it is clear Valentino would not be the man he is if it were not for Giammetti, who is also the only one with the gumption to tell the designer he is looking ''a little bit too tan''.

A TESCO security officer allegedly lost his temper, launched a gratuitous revenge attack on a drunken customer and smashed his skull, away from CCTV cameras, and when his bosses weren't watching, a jury heard.
Burnley Crown Court was told how 'well built, strong and powerful' Matloob Akhtar, 37, allegedly punched Stephen Aldren and knocked him out cold, as the victim was leaving the large Accrington store.
Mr Aldren, said to have been misbehaving and 'falling down drunk' with a friend in the shop, landed very heavily to the back of his head.
He remembered nothing about the incident apart from waking up in hospital.
Akhtar told police it was a pre-emptive strike in anticipated self defence, but the prosecution allege that he 'decided to teach Mr Aldren a lesson, a lesson he was not going to forgot.' Prosecutor Timothy Brennand told the hearing: "The pros-ecution suggest that what the defendant did was gratuitous, unnecessary and was borne out of a motive to exact revenge because of the way the victim was behaving."
Akhtar, of Avenue Parade, Accrington, denies inflicting grie-vous bodily harm, on November 10, 2012.
Mr Brennand told the court that Mr Aldren and a man named Stephen Connor had gone to buy crisps and alcohol and the pair were drunk. They had been in the store for some time and came to the attention of the manager, a staff member and security – the defendant.
The two men were intercepted, taken hold of and the decision was taken to eject them from the premises.
It seemed that Mr Aldren was the more vociferous and vocal of the 'two drunks' as they were escorted from the store. He wouldn't leave.
Mr Brennand said: "What the defendant contends was that from beginning to end he was acting defensively. The prosecution contends that there came a moment when that defensive stand turned to offensive."
The prosecutor said Mr Aldren was abusive to the defendant and Akhtar lost his temper.
He said the Crown suggested that it was no coincidence that what happened was well away from the 'all seeing eye of the CCTV'.

That's right…a hole in my brand new, mint green sweater. As I arrived to work on this Denim Day, I reached for the appropriate awareness button on my cubicle wall (please tell me I am not the only one with a plethora of pins and buttons for every social justice activist occasion). But what a dilemma…do I put the button on my new sweater, thus risking a hole? I thought about attaching it to my scarf, but again…the hole. Then I got mad. WHY do I even have to make this choice? I now have a hole in my sweater, thanks to an Italian Supreme Court that made a horrendous decision years ago to overturn a rape conviction because the victim wore tight jeans. "Hashtag patriarchy" (direct quote from my cubicle mate).
The fact is, we are still battling victim-blaming attitudes and misconceptions about rape 15 years later. So on goes the button, hole in the sweater and all.
I'm heading to the grocery store soon, where I hope someone asks about my button. Because I didn't put a hole in my sweater for nothing.

Lawyers are like children: solo, they're great, but as a group, they can shatter a strong man's will. I've got friends who are attorneys, and they're fine, but as a faceless lawmaking body, they make me want to drink rubbing alcohol. It is absolutely amazing to me that these guys can be so out of touch with technology at any level.
Journalists make a pitiful pittance -- just ask Pammy. Yet I, all by my lonesome, am infinitely more in touch with technology developments than 90 percent of lawyers out there.

We're all ears! ]
"But Cringely, you ignorant slut," you might say. "You spend all your time analyzing the geek world. These poor guys don't have that kind of time."
Really? Lawyers who bill $600 an hour and big, bloated law firms who charge four times that much -- these guys can't afford a research arm? It's fine for real estate lawyers or those speeding ticket fixers with dingy offices located next to police precincts. But what about the legal yahoos drafting pro/con technology legislation and making it stick?
If I as a journalist publish something erroneous (and I have -- please don't cite all the examples, I drink enough as it is), at least I can immediately print a retraction after my editor punishes me with an appropriate level of electroshock "therapy." Lawyers who get together in a group, snort some high-end flake in the bathroom, quickly peruse some Machiavellian prose to warm up, then head into court, though.... When those fools mess up, it can take years to correct their mistakes.
All of this comes into play with Europe's recent right-to-be-forgotten law. Sorry, European Court of Justice; I know you guys are supposedly educated and make reams more than us weenie news geeks do, but if this is the kind of asininity-infested drivel coming from all that privilege, you should be forced to donate your fortunes to a worthy cause and go live under a highway overpass. What are you thinking?
To get you up to speed: The European high court recently ruled that individuals have the right to ask search engines to remove links to what is deemed "outdated, false, or irrelevant" information about them. The wording in the actual bill is incredibly confusing, a fantastic example of brain draining legalese. Fortunately, there was an official press release that was promised to be much more direct. I checked that out and, yeah, they lied.
If I read it right (and if I didn't, please correct me in comments so I can, in turn, correct it next week -- Wow! What a concept!), this nut-bar ruling is based on a 2010 case where a hapless Spaniard filed a complaint in Spanish court against a site that had left information about it him online even though that information was wrong and long outdated. So he filed against the site (logical) and against Google for linking to it (totally illogical). In typically inscrutable lawyer logic, the court ruled that publishing the information was legal, so the site got off unscathed, but Google's linking to it was against the rules, so they were directed to remove any related search links. Apparently linking to "lawfully published" content is unlawful in Spain.

Thought-Stopping to Relieve Stress
Thought-stopping is a process of concentrating on an unwanted thought and then suddenly stopping and clearing your mind. When you practice this process repeatedly on an unwanted thought, over time the unwanted thought occurs less often. Eventually the thought may not occur at all or will be easy to dismiss immediately.
- Identify your most stressful thoughts, those that interfere with other activities. You wish you could stop having these thoughts, but they keep occurring.
- Imagine the thought. Close your eyes. Imagine a situation in which you might have this stressful thought. Then allow yourself to think and even concentrate on the thought.
- Interrupt the thought. Startling yourself is a good way to interrupt the thought. Try
one of these two techniques.
- Set a timer or alarm clock for 3 minutes. Then start thinking as explained in step 2. When the timer or alarm goes off, shout "Stop!" You may accompany the shout with an action, such as raising your hand or standing up. This is your cue to stop thinking about anything, empty your mind, and try to keep it empty for about 30 seconds. If the upsetting thought comes back during that time, shout "Stop!" again.
- Instead of using a timer, you may tape-record yourself loudly shouting "Stop!" at intervals of 3 minutes, 2 minutes, and 1 minute. Proceed in the same way as with the timer. Hearing your own voice commanding you to stop helps strengthen your commitment to getting rid of the unwanted thought.
- After practicing steps 1 through 3 on a thought until the thought goes away on command, try the process again. This time interrupt the thought with the word "Stop!" in a normal voice.
- Finally, after your normal voice interrupts the thought effectively, try whispering the word "Stop." Eventually you can just imagine hearing "Stop" inside your mind. At this point, you can interrupt the thought whenever and wherever it occurs.
Whenever the unwanted thought occurs, interrupt it as soon as you recognize it.

A DATE for work to start on the new Booths supermarket in Barrowford has been announced.
The upmarket food retailer first unveiled plans to open a supermarket, in Halstead Lane, in 2006, with plans eventually being approved in 2008, despite objections from residents and independent shopkeepers.
But the scheme was hit by several delays and, in October last year, bosses at Booths had to submit a new planning application to accommodate changes to the means of delivery to the store.
That was approved recently, and now a spokesman for the store has confirmed that work will start on February 2, with the super-market expected to open later this year, creating around 70 full-time jobs.
When the new plans were submitted, a Booths spokesman said: "Booths propose for the deliveries to be serviced via the White Bear car park, instead of via Halstead Lane as in the consented scheme.
"This means that Halstead Lane will not need to be re-graded, and will result in less disruption to the local community.
"Booths deliveries take place in the morning, and therefore the local pub car park will not be affected.
"Other alterations to the building as a consequence of the changes to planning are minor."
The new store will be on the site of Park Mill, and the former Pendle Brook House care home.
Booths already operate supermarkets in Clitheroe and Chorley, as well as 27 other stores across the north.

The Week Ahead: Intrigue on deck as Deadline looms
We just celebrated at the National Baseball Hall of Fame. Next we hit the Trade Deadline. Then we have a new month and another deadline at the end of those 31 days.
The Week Ahead keeps the excitement going at Billy Hamilton speed, with the non-waiver Trade Deadline set for Thursday at 4 p.m. ET and the first day of the fifth month of a six-month season set for Friday.
And while they might not yet be at the level of Sunday Hall inductees Greg Maddux, Frank Thomas, Tom Glavine, Tony La Russa, Joe Torre and Bobby Cox, there are enough big names rumored to be on the move to pack these four weekdays with drama, and we're not even talking about the furious pennant races already in progress.
So who will it be?
The talk of the weekend focused on Jon Lester, who said he would like to remain in Boston but would understand if the Red Sox traded him away for a huge package of big leaguers and/or prospects. Lester also said he wouldn't mind turning around and signing with the Red Sox again over the winter when he becomes a free agent.
It's unknown where Lester might end up, although the Dodgers have been mentioned as a possible suitor, but what is a virtual certainty is that it would take a lot to get him. The same would theoretically hold true for Rockies shortstop Troy Tulowitzki or Marlins outfielder Giancarlo Stanton. Neither has been officially declared as on the block, but their teams aren't contending and those two players are among the most coveted in baseball.
So it goes, and so it also goes with Tampa Bay ace David Price, whose team has been playing well enough lately -- 18-5 since June 28 -- that not trading the left-hander has suddenly become an interesting option.
Otherwise, a lot of smaller pieces could be on the move. The names of Josh Willingham, Alex Rios, Marlon Byrd (and many of his Phillies teammates) and Dayan Viciedo have been among the most popular when bats are being discussed. Pitchers such as Cole Hamels, Cliff Lee, A.J. Burnett and John Danks have been talked about, too.
We should know a lot more about all of these whereabouts Thursday. We should also know a lot more about the pennant races. Remember those?
Heading into today, a bit of separation has arrived in the National League, where last week saw all three divisions with no clear-cut leader heading out of the weekend. This week, Washington takes a 1 1/2-game lead over the Braves in the East into a division-rival set against the Marlins in Miami and finishes off the week with games at home against the Phillies.
Things are looking good for the Nationals, whose starting pitching has been formidable with the return of Gio Gonzalez from injury.
"Our starters go deep in games," manager Matt Williams said. "There has been a hiccup or two along the way, but they have pitched pretty well. They give us a chance every day. ... That's comforting for everybody."
The Braves might not have it so comfortable this week with a West Coast swing that will have them playing the Dodgers and Padres, and in the Central, the Brewers moved back on top with a two-game cushion on the Cardinals and a three-game advantage on the Pirates. This week, the Brewers enter the sizzling realm of the Rays, heading to Tropicana Field for a tough Interleague series, before kicking off August and the weekend with three games against the Cards in St. Louis.
In the NL West, the Dodgers completed a three-game sweep of the Giants in San Francisco on Sunday night and now enjoy a 1 1/2-game advantage. The Giants have lost four in a row, but they're hardly panicking.
"It's going to be important that we put this behind us," manager Bruce Bochy said. "We have a tough team [Pittsburgh] coming in here. We have to regroup. You have no choice in this game."
In the American League, the West is still the best, with the A's (.625) and Angels (.606) still the only two clubs in the Majors with winning percentages over .600, and Oakland maintains a two-game lead on Los Angeles, despite the Halos having gone 18-6 over their last 24 games.
This week, the A's stay in the division by traveling to Houston and then heading back home to play the Royals. The Angels will travel to Baltimore for three against the AL East-leading Orioles before playing the Rays on the road over the weekend.
It looks like they'll have the same team they have right now.
"We really like our team," Halos general manager Jerry Dipoto said Friday when asked about what he might do before the Trade Deadline. "The likelihood is that we'll do nothing."
The Tigers are still reigning in the AL Central, with a five-game lead over the second-place Royals. And in the East, the O's take a three-game lead over the Blue Jays and four-game advantage on the Yankees back home after baseball on the West Coast over the weekend that left manager Buck Showalter so inspired that he said he had a "man crush" on his team.
"It's a different second half," Orioles third baseman Manny Machado said. "And we are trying to put ourselves in a good position to run away with this American League East."

A new new article on Illegitimacy Documents has just gone online at MadAboutGenealogy's sister site http://www.teachyourselffamilyhistory.com/.
Everyone is going to have at least one of their family lines come to an abrupt halt because of an illegitimate birth, Mark Herber in his book "Ancestral Trails" gives a figure of 2% of all birth in the early 18th century were illegitimate. However all is not lost because such an event can lead to a paper trail generated by officials as they attempt to locate the father and have him pay towards the upkeep of the child rather than the mother & child be supported from the poor rate. All of this creates documents that can be of great help in researching your family history.

Michelle Williams issues statement about Heath Ledger
Michelle Williams released the following statement today regarding the death of Heath Ledger. It is the first statement she's made since Heath's body was found last Tuesday in a New York City apartment, according to Reuters:
"Please respect our need to grieve privately. My heart is broken. I am the mother of the most tender-hearted, high-spirited, beautiful little girl who is the spitting image of her father. All that I can cling to is his presence inside her that reveals itself every day. His family and I watch Matilda as she whispers to trees, hugs animals, and takes steps two at a time, and we know that he is with us still. She will be brought up with the best memories of him."
As long as little Matilda never watches The Order. I kid. Touching stuff.

Lying handsets, wireless wireless, and other marine cellular shenanigans.
Most of us enjoy the benefits of boating with a cellphone. We can stay in touch with home and work, if desired, or dial ahead for a slip or a restaurant table. That is, until that annoying moment when we cruise beyond the range of the cell towers or our service fails for more mysterious reasons. My challenge this month is to explain how the mess of gadgets and wires pictured above is actually one sensible system for getting the most out of marine cellular.
For more than a year now, I've been testing the Digital Antenna PowerMax cellular amplifier and four-foot, 9-dB boat antenna shown in the left portion of the photo above. One of the first things I learned was just how badly cellphones lie! I hunted down the code that unlocks the "field test" menu on my Nokia 5165, a hidden feature on most cells. After doing this I was able to see the same detailed signal-strength readings that technicians use to diagnose problems, as opposed to the "optimistic" graphic meter shown to us civilians. In the photo at right, the -75 figure is true signal strength measured in dBm (milliwatt decibels). The dBm readings work similarly to school grading in reverse; -55 calls are about as good as cell gets, while -100 calls flat out flunk. Though I found that -75 conversations were in the choppy, "Can you hear me now?" style, you can see that my phone awards itself a four-bar "A" for such signal strength.
My Nokia's regular signal meter doesn't just exaggerate; it's also slow to respond to rapid fluctuations in signal quality, a condition I see frequently on the field-test screen and hear as noise and busted words. Are you reminded of your own cell's temperamental nature? Joanne Johnson, head of marketing at Digital Antenna, says that my phone's deceptiveness is typical and a source of much frustration. Cell users have a hard time knowing what their phone is really up to, let alone how much an added amp or antenna is actually helping. (By the way, if you want to get geeky, the codes to unlock field testing are available from some cell dealers and on Web sites like www.antennaguy.com.)
I can tell you that Digital's gear really works. I often saw 5- to 10-dBm improvements just by attaching my phone to the antenna, another 10 to 15 by adding the amplifier, which also seemed to flatten signal fluctuations. I was the strange guy repeatedly calling my own office answering machine from the boat (and pickup truck, as I also had a 3-dB car antenna) last season. I'd find a marginal reception area and then place separate calls with the cell alone and with the bidirectional booster attached. I could hear the difference both ways, first in my machine's outgoing message and then when I got home on the messages I left.
Cell signal boosting helps mostly with range. I can't report solid numbers because of Maine's irregular coastline and islands, but I've read reports of better than 50-mile cell calls off Florida's well-defined network using Digital equipment, and I believe them. Mind you that cell-saturated South Florida is subject to the phenomenon of decreasing range as it's populated with more, but smaller-area, cell antennas (see "Saltwater Cellular," September 2001). My equipment also helped when the signal was partially blocked by a high island or hill. While I still found some dead spots produced by such obstacles, a couple of times I saw my phone go from "no service" (worse than -100) to a reasonable signal, a pleasure that Digital Antenna doesn't even advertise as possible.
Digital's gear is also quite flexible. I use the older version of AT&T cellular—which includes 800/1900 MHz TDMA and analog—but the $416 DA4000 amplifier is FCC-approved for all wireless services except Nextel, for which there's an alternate model. The 561 antenna costs $205 and works with everything, and there are other models in different lengths and/or combined with VHF or AM/FM. Shakespeare Marine has been talking for some time about offering an amplifier similar to Digital's and recently distributed specs for the $459 CA-819. Reportedly, it will, like the DA4000, wring the maximum allowed power out of any cellphone (again, except Nextel's) when paired with the right antenna—3 watts in the low band, 2 in the high. In fact, I've been testing the Digital gear this long because I was hoping to compare it to Shakespeare's; a shipping delay due to needed modifications led me to put that project off for now.
While you really can improve cell performance on your boat, one unfortunate side effect is that your wireless phone gets wired.

TAMPA, Fla. – The Saint Leo women's soccer team was tripped up on the road as they fell to Tampa 5-2 in Sunshine State Conference action on Wednesday evening.
The Spartans improve to 14-1-1, 4-1-1 in the SSC, with the Lions dropping to 8-5, 3-2 in conference.
Forward Cici Gonzalez led the Spartans with a hat trick during the contest, scoring a single goal early on as Tampa suddenly held a 2-0 lead just 15 minutes into the contest.
Midfielder Paige Smith finalized the Spartans' first half scoring at 3-0, with Tampa outshooting the Lions 8-5 in the first 45 minutes.
Tampa's momentum continued early on in the second half with back-to-back goals by Gonzalez, completing her trifecta.
The Lions would not roll over easily. Forward Fabienne Schwenk found the back of the net twice within 10 minutes of each other, closing the gap to 5-2 with less than 10 minutes to play.
The three-goal gap was too much for the Lions to overcome as the host Spartans were able to claim the conference victory.
Tampa goalkeeper Alyson Gregorowicz collected five saves throughout the evening with the Lions' Abby Evans totaling one.
The Lions return home and will face Florida Tech on Saturday evening. Kickoff is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. at University Field.

Won't have time to start transcribing for a while … so just a few things.
Marian Gaborik will play in the World Championships, and promised to take his game up to the next level next season … and when it was mentioned that he had scored 42 playing in this system last year, he kind of said that the system was different last year. In other words, and maybe I'm reading into it, he had trouble with the way the team played this year. He said he would love to have a set line, and mentioned that we all know who the free-agent centers are (read: Brad Richards) and that the team usually does what's needed to get the free agent help it requires.
Henrik Lundqvist is undecided on the Worlds. He said this is the first year that, even though he's just 29, he started thinking how many more cracks he might get at the playoffs.
Brandon Dubinsky said that he wants to be back, the Rangers want him back, so let's not waste each other's time in contract negotations. It does occur to me, though, that with Wade Redden's cap hit coming back onto the books in the summer, the Rangers might have to wait until camp to re-sign some of their own, especially if they spend any significant cash on July 1. Dubinsky also said that the stress fracture in his leg began to show up in the other leg, too, and that they discovered it was the type of soft skates he'd been wearing his whole career that caused the stress … and that when he switched to a different style (same brand) of skate he felt much better. He will not play in the Worlds, because of the injuries and the contract.
Brandon Prust talked and joked about "It's Just Pain" and how he couldn't believe how that took off within the team. Martin Biron said he expects to start working out in a few weeks. I didn't have a chance to catch Callahan, still on crutches, and Staal, who said his knee was still sore during the playoffs.
Sean Avery had some interesting things to say about not being able to commit turnovers and penalties and how that effected his game, and how he decided to just go back to the way he always played in the playoffs, and that "risk/reward" style is the way he has to play from now on. Which should be inetresting.
Dan Girardi, for obvious reasons, is looking forward to some healing time. He said he won't need any procedures, just rest. Vinny Prospal doesn't know what to expect, but wants to come back, and won't play in the Worlds because of his knee. "I'm not 26 anymore," he said.
More later.

A Spirit of Sharing, Alive and Well in D.R. Congo
A brief note from a place called Popokapaka, a town only 120 miles east of Kinshasa but a 12 hour drive away. The road to this town of some 16,000 people alternates between wavy ruts of deep sand or red clay, frequent water obstacles and twists and turns through impossibly small passages, some a mile long.
One hopes another vehicle won't be coming from the other direction because it's impossible to imagine how either could back up to let the other pass; yet, one hopes for other vehicles because it's impossible to imagine not breaking down and being stranded in one of these passages forever. Jacques, our driver, almost made it seem easy.
Popo – as it is known around here – offers a superb picture of our work, of why it matters and of how one can become so captivated by it all. Everywhere there is beauty and hope – and, crushing despair – all at the same time.
Last night said it all. We arrived late and as our small base is full the Country Director, Anne, and I are staying in a place owned by the church, with clean, bare rooms and thin mattresses but a total sense of welcome and safety. The sisters run a nearby orphanage and we decided to drop in and thank them for their hospitality and see the orphanage. We arrived at dinner time. And, barely there three minutes when one child after another approached – some shyly, some full of giggles – to offer us their dinner plates of beans. This was no practiced gesture; it was just children sharing what they had.
You may recall that ACF has recently posted a video we refer to as "The Sharing Experiment" that shows two children - one with and one without a sandwich. The children are alone and don't know they are being filmed when they discover this situation. Every time, the child with the sandwich rips it into two and offers half to the other child. Occasionally, I've had people tell me the scene must be staged, that kids wouldn't really do that. Well, if they could have been with us last night at the orphanage, they'd never doubt the natural instinct of children to share ever again. It's the adults who have forgotten how to do it, not the kids.
The rest of my visit showed what can happen when we share expertise and some modest funding with the residents of Popo – first off, you get clean drinking water for 45,000 people! You get improved health and you give people dignity and time to attend to more important things than trudging miles for water, clean or not. I'll see the nutrition programs later but first I wanted to see the water project we're installing thanks to funding from Pentair International and charity: water – with help from UPS on transporting the pipes and valves. This project – like all our water projects – has elected water committees to manage the projects and ensure long-term sustainability.
I met one of the committees near the spring that is the source for the water that will be piped to a water tower, chlorinated and then make its way through nine kilometers of piping donated by Pentair to 36 tap stands, managed by 36 water committees. This is not for Popo alone – the entire project spans many other villages and a total construction or repair of 160 tap stands.
It was enormously gratifying to see the project taking shape and to hear the pride expressed by the committee members I got to meet. They all spoke enthusiastically about how access to clean water will transform their communities - no more hours spent walking to the river to fill up and carry back heavy jerry cans, and how this will especially help the children who often must do this before school at dawn. And, from our staff I heard the gruesome stories of the crocodiles in the river and the very real worries of mothers who fear their children may never return from their trips to fetch water.
I know how much good this pipe line (really, a "lifeline") will be to this town. But the future, I suspect, is not what's in the water as they say – but what's in the orphanage. Now if only we could bottle that irrepressible spirit of sharing that springs forth so naturally from the orphans of Popokabaka, we could really change the world.
Tell Us What You Think
How does it make you feel to learn how naturally generous kids can be? Do you think the spirit of sharing is alive and well?

Topic: My Visit To The Medium Today
I told you I would report on my visit today and it was unbelievable. So here are a few of the things Teddy came through with:
He said he loved me and missed me and can't wait to see me.
He is healthy and happy and he misses my cooking.
When he made the transition, a man was waiting to greet him. This man worked with tools and cars. His Dad worked at American Motors for 30 years on car doors! Had to be his dad.
He said when he got to the other side there was a big table of food with family and friends waiting for him. (How many times I said he has a big table of food?)
He said he is very proud of me and never thought I would do as I have done.
He wants me to buy a weekly lottery ticket. He always bought one and he would say you can't win if you don't buy a ticket.
He wants me to be more cautious and alert when driving. I averted 2 accidents in the last year that were not my fault. Honestly.
He also said Spring will be good as I will be traveling to a joyous occassion out of town. I am going to my first Grandson's wedding in May!
Then Karen (Medium) said Teddy is showing me a badge on his chest, was he in the Service. Yes, Korea.
He said, get off the dating sites, I will be sending you a nice Man. You should find love again, you are too nice a woman to be alone, you should be on a gentleman's arm. (That is exactly how he would have talked)
He said he will always be watching over me.
At the end he said simply, "My Love". Teddy would kiss me, look at me and say, "My Love".
I can only tell you that I felt so good after, although it brought a lot of tears, happy tears.

Ok…I look yucky and I'm not too happy with these photos, but they'll do. I just wanted to show you the outfit I wore on Saturday, for our little gathering. This is the dress I bought at H&M. It is very roomy. It's a large and I think it would fit anyone up to a size 22. This may be my new favorite dress for the summer and it has pockets! Yay! The great thing about this dress is the print and the colors. It can be worn so many different ways!
