This is wonderful & I will definitely make it again. I didn't have any buttermilk, so I substituted half nonfat yogurt & half skim milk. Worked well and tastes great.
Blackberry-Buttermilk Sherbet
Straining the blackberry mixture is optional but worth the effort for the smoothest, creamiest texture.

I've been working on breading for mostly fish and have been experimenting with brown rice flour instead of wheat. Last week I was in S. Mo and had the best catfish I can remember. The breading had to be rice flour.
Near perfect. So I'm back to 1 cup brown rice flour, 1 cup beer, 1 egg. But I might try just egg whites.
The brown rice flour browns up faster so it's harder to tell when done.
Oh ya, peanut oil.
I should mention I've tried both boxed breading, and scratch but I'm looking for that perfect one.

Nat Geo….The Closer
Mar 4
In In The Field, Jobs at 2:38pm
Just like the opener, you never know exactly where it's going to come from.
Mar 1
In history, In The Field at 1:56pm
Argo did well at the Academy Awards this past week. Good movie. It transported me to another place in time, which is what good movies are supposed to do.
Back to 1980, when Iran held the hostages, and the attention of virtually everyone in this county. 444 days! It was endless for us, unimaginable for the hostages. I was there at West Point when they came back on buses from Stewart AFB, but those chromes have been lost over time. Managed to hang onto a chrome from lower Broadway and the ticker tape welcome home parade. I shinnied up a light pole with my cameras and perched, quite uncomfortably, on a traffic sign for several hours as the parade made its way. Thankfully, it was quite cold, and my ass just froze, so I was able to ignore the fact that I was basically giving myself a street sign wedgie. My positioning, and the inclusion of Liberty St. was, of course, not an accident.
The Lead Photo
Feb 21
In In The Field at 8:47am
As a location shooter on assignment, you are continuously desperate on many levels, and one of the principal sources of your ongoing anxiety is the search for the lead photo. It is a picture that does a lot of the heavy lifting for you. It's the opening spread, bears the weight of type and text, announces the intent of the coverage, and, most importantly, grabs the eyeballs of the beleaguered, over-saturated, out of time reader. It sometimes has nano-seconds to do this. Sometimes you know you have it, instantly, when you shoot it. (As one of the old timers at the New York Daily News told me, somewhat indelicately, when I was just a pup apprentice in the studio, "You know you got somethin' good, kid, 'cause you can feel your asshole goin' like dis!" He then made kind of circular grouping of his fingers, and roughly imitated the uh, well, feeling.)
Having just come out of the Masters program in photojournalism at Syracuse University, and thus having been steeped in the elegant, erudite legends of Steichen and Stieglitz, I was amused, and mildly appalled at this rough around the edges piece of advice. However, that street-wise NY shooter knew what he was talking about. When you do get that picture, the one you come for, and you know you got it, something happens. Your head pings, your heart skips, your lungs catch abruptly. Or something happens elsewhere, as he indicated. I guess that's just a matter of one's personal physiology as it relates to the welcome emotional relief that knowing a good picture has been made bequeaths to you. It's like the sound of the shutter nailing that frame constitutes a momentary overload, and your circuit breakers trip inside of you, somewhere.
Sometimes this just happens, almost effortlessly, in the course of a coverage. Sometimes, it's a pulled tooth. I did a telescope coverage for Nat Geo not too long ago. (I've shot telescopes for Geographic twice now, and these types of coverages are like being an extra in the opening scene of Les Miserables. It's heavy lifting.) I got sent to the world's largest binocular telescope up on Mt. Graham, in Arizona. It was bad weather, and the scope could not be opened, but we had a deadline, so I went, met an assistant there, and we proceeded to light the interior of the chamber.
I knew this telescope was important to the story, but I also knew this would most likely not fly as a lead. Too confined, too busy. A lot of work for a picture to never see the light of day, and the work is not particularly joyous at that point, because I've been doing this long enough to know, at least occasionally. as I'm shooting it, that the picture, as my dear friend and editor at NGS Bill Douthitt tends to say, "is going to Toledo." His phraseology for a pic that is on a train out of town, and ain't coming back.
So I went back. Chalked off the first go round to an exhausting scout. I pushed the notion that the pic was outside, looking in, not the reverse. My ever patient studio manager and production guru, Lynn, drilled through the reams of paperwork required to get a 175′ boom crane truck up Mt. Graham, which is a National Park and an endangered species area, and we blocked it into the side of the hill, went up and shot what turned out to be the lead.
Occasionally, your work in the field is such a blur, that you make the lead pic and you don't know it. Sports Illustrated sent me to Japan for a month to shoot Japanese golf, and I was met in gracious and ceremonial fashion by our Japanese hosts, who promptly whisked myself and Gabe, my assistant at the time, off to a huge welcome dinner. Jet lag of those proportions does not mix well with high end, exotic Japanese style cooking, and Gabe and I gamely, honorably, muddled our way through a Daisy wheeled panoply of fish with the eyes and heads, spicy brains, eel and the like, and then…..we were brought to a a famed, multi-tier driving range in downtown Tokyo to do a shoot!
I don't recall shooting this, actually, as my head was just as much of a blur as the foreground golfer, which I shot with a flash mix, which of course endeared me to everyone at the range. They got their revenge for my flash affronts when Gabe and I were given what we dubbed "the bat shield," and allowed to walk out in front of all the golfers to shoot back at the grandstand. One of them almost took my ear off as I poked camera and lens around the screen to make pictures. I didn't know it, and I of course continued to shoot for a month, but I had the lead photo within hours of stepping off the plane.
And then of course, you can be utterly clueless. (Numnuts strikes again!) That's when you need an editor. For the pic up top, it was our first day in the field with multiple UAVs. We had three, which was a good thing, 'cause two of them didn't work. It was a shakedown day, opening day, sort of, and I wasn't overly concerned at the non-performance of our flying machines. It was cold, and getting dark, so Drew and I set up a small flash on a paint pole, and started just making some sort of picture, somehow, out of this day in the field that was an absolute bust. Ziggy, our intrepid UAV pilot, hovered his Micro-kopter out in the middle of a lonely agricultural road, and I shot a few frames, and we called it a night. The lead photo was in the camera, but I didn't know it.
My editor Bill, at Geographic, and I share an unfortunate fascination with all manner of bad movies, science fiction, comic book characters. As our wives remind us, if we could just download the committed to memory dialogue of movies from Dirty Harry to Predator to Monty Python, our upstairs decks might actually clear enough to do something productive. But, his dark fascinations do play a role. In this pic he saw something–I don't know–UAVs meet Twin Peaks, or here's the UAV scouting for the imminent zombie attack. Anyway, he brought it forward, and the magazine gave it a stamp of approval, and it became the lead. I had zip to do with that process. The only stupidly smart thing I did was put my camera to my eye and keep shooting on a day when all was basically lost.
Tech specs….Flash on paint pole, w/ dome diffuser, camera left. 14-24mm lens at 15mm. D3S camera. 1/80th at f5.6, ISO 800. Below is a shot as it lands, so you can see why I had to look up at it. If I referenced the ground, the shadow from the flash becomes too prominent.

Gone to the Dogs
Feb 13
In In The Field, Stories at 11:37am
I have a great deal of empathy for pet photogs, those fonts of perpetual patience. I've only had one experience doing it, and it came to me via LIFE magazine, who had a notion of doing a four page double gatefold of all 148 (at that time) breeds of dog present at the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show in Madison Square Garden in NY. This year's show just concluded, with an affable Affenpinscher named, oddly enough, Banana Joe, as the winner.
The things you do as a photog. I set up a 617 Fujica Panorama camera, on a super heavy tripod, and gaffered it to the floor. We then massed sandbags around the legs, so many that the thing looked like a machine gun placement out of a World War II movie. The camera could not move for three straight days. It was looking at a stage we built, with draping and brightly painted blocks for the smaller pooches to climb up on. Behind the drape, concealed, stood the owners. (Trust me, show dog owners are a highly specialized breed, themselves.) I then would try my best to get the little darlings attention, via all manner of undignified noises and gestures at the camera. It got so embarrassing, so quickly, that my assistants taped a scrawled message to the back of the camera: "You Said Yes," referring to the assignment.
I did say yes, and when you open your mouth as a photog, and that word comes out of it, the editor then shifts the responsibility for whatever happens to your long suffering shoulders. I had great support from the LIFE staff on this job, gathering pooches, keeping the breeds straight, making sure that no animosities surfaced on the set amongst our star subjects. (I don't want to be next to the Ibizan Hound!) The whole thing was the brainchild of Melissa Stanton, one of the senior editors, and a dog lover.
I also had to listen to the owners, one of whom, whose charge was a Labrador Retriever, warned me, "Whatever you do, don't use a squeaky toy to get his attention. He will come get it, and I probably can't hold him." My bad. I didn't convey that to the crew, one of whom was behind me with a squeaky toy, and gave it a good honk. That lab bounded off the stage, dragging his owner through the draping and plowed through my lights and stands to, well, retrieve. Mayhem ensued. Throughout it all the pooch's expression of the sheer joy of the chase never changed.
The gatefold itself was put together back at the magazine in Rubik's Cube fashion by the art directors. You can see the original 617 transparencies above, still in their sleeve, with grease pencil marks, adhesive tape codes and numbers, which I dodged out (badly) to simply show the physical nature of chromes and how they would be transported into print. It was a very popular spread in the book at the time. Lots of dog lovers out there.

Slides, Like Socks….
Dec 18
In In The Field, Memories at 10:55am
Here's a handy thing about blogging. I wrote about Bo Jackson last week, and mentioned a bunch of our original material from that long ago take seemed to have vanished. I likened chromes to being like socks that sometimes just don't make it back into the drawer. I talked about getting into a batting cage with him and feeling like a decoy duck at a carnival shooting gallery, but we had no slide from that encounter.
Lo and behold, our intrepid studio manager Lynn, contacted SI, just to check, and somehow a bunch of these images had gotten stuck in one of their drawers, inadvertently. Years had passed. Never thought about it. Got 'em back. Happy about that. More tk…

The two companies that make vaccines against cervical cancer announced Thursday that they would cut their prices to the world's poorest countries below $5 per dose, eventually making it possible for millions of girls to be protected against a major cancer killer.
Because of Pap tests, fatal cervical cancers are almost unknown today in rich countries. But the disease kills an estimated 275,000 women a year in poor countries where Pap tests are impractical and the vaccine is far too expensive for the average woman to afford, so the price cut could lead to a significant advance in women's health.

Former Guns & Ammo magazine editor Richard Venola wants to move on with his life now that a murder charge against him is being dismissed.
A former editor of Guns & Ammo magazine who said he was defending himself when he fatally shot a neighbor during an argument is relieved that a murder charge against him will be dismissed.
Richard Erick Venola, 54, was tried twice in Mohave County Superior Court in Kingman, Ariz., on a charge of second-degree murder in the shooting death of James Patrick O'Neill. Both trials ended with deadlocked juries that were split in favor of acquittal, according to the Las Vegas Review-Journal.
Mohave County prosecutors decided not to try Venola a third time and on Tuesday asked a judge to dismiss the murder charge.
Venola told the Review-Journal the decision reaffirms his faith in the American justice system.
"I'm just looking forward to being able to rebuild my life," Venola was quoted as saying.
Venola was tried for the May 2, 2011, shooting death of O'Neill, his 39-year-old neighbor. O'Neill, who was unarmed, was shot in the chest with a rifle.
At the trials, prosecutors contended Venola shot O'Neill during a drunken argument at the Golden Valley duplex where Venola lived. They contended that O'Neill was facing away from the house as if leaving when Venola shot him.
Venola contended he acted in self-defense. His attorney said Venola retrieved his rifle from his truck because he believed O'Neill was going to his own home to get a weapon he kept by the front door.

Asked if his case could be seen as part of the broader national gun-control debate, Venola told the Review-Journal:
"That's a little over my head. I really don't know how to answer that question. People on both sides are going to infer what they want. All I know is that I'm alive."
Guns & Ammo, the firearms magazine he once edited, last week ranked Arizona No.1 on a list of "Best States for Gun Owners in 2013." The states were measured on several criteria for gun rights and "friendliness" to gun owners.
Venola was named Guns & Ammo editor in 2007, according to the magazine's website. He was succeeded a few years ago by its current editor, Jim Bequette.

I dreamt of a monocle night.
I saw; I was sitting upright.
As usual, the earth's lamp was bright.
There-by unveiling some ants in fight.
I saw a tired knight.
Seeking a shelter, to spend the night!
Helpless I was; cos my hut was tight.
Olodumare brought a way out of the plight.
Off the kids went to tale by moon light.
Against the wall their mater rest.
I rolled up their mat by pushing slight.
She would have awoke if not providence might.
Outside on the mat with my pal; I spent that night.
Polythene or mat, the kids knew naught!
Olodumare=GOD (in Yoruba), mater= mother, Monocle night=night of a full moon.

Motorists in the Prestatyn area are being urged to make sure
that they secure their vehicles.
The call comes from Denbighshire Chief Inspector, Jo Williams,
who said: "Car crime has seen an increase in Prestatyn,
particularly from vehicles which have been left unlocked and we are
determined to reduce the number of these incidents.
"Since April 1 to date we have had more than 31 reports of theft
from vehicles and over three quarters of these were from vehicles
which were left insecure.
"I am determined to raise the public's awareness of this because
some of these crimes can be avoided and prevented.
"Motorists can take steps themselves to prevent this type of
crime and ensure that they do not become a victim.
"Always secure your vehicle, move valuables out of sight, don't
leave items visible to the passer by and ideally remove them from
the vehicle altogether."
Chief Inspector Jo Williams also called on members of the public
who noticed anything suspicious around parked cars to contact North
Wales Police on 101 or alternatively contact Crimestoppers
anonymously on 0800 555 111.
North Wales Police recently launched their Vehicle Crime
Prevention Campaign 'If you leave it on show, expect it to go."

this is such a petty thing to moan about I know but I hate it but I hate clothes shopping the most. I'm coat-less at the moment (my own fault) and I was wandering round the shops in my lunch break looking at coats and jackets and gaaah i hate it. the whole process, having to decide what to try on, queueing to try it on, getting in and out of your clothes (well not in the case of coats :P), agonising about whether or not I can afford it (I'm supposed to be saving up to go travelling which isn't exactly the same as being on the poverty line but it's always on my mind when I spend money), feeling stupid looking at stuff that other people might think is horrible, or think would look stupid on me, queueing up at the till, walking round with loads of bags and stuff...haha I'm such a whinger but I really do hate it. So I end up wearing the same clothes forever

i hate it too.
i have moaned about this enough on this forum,
that i love menswear and it never comes in my size... unless you go to a more expensive shop.
i have gone from being a tomboy to totally binding down my breasts and only wearing guys clothes, slowly... i can afford to only buy a new item or two a month...
i can never find small used mens' clothes, and so i go to sales at (gasp) the gap... and hope for the best. it's awkward sometimes... i know it's hard to explain without sounding paranoid, but i really cannot go clothes shopping without being stared at. either guys want to know what i'm doing in their clothes or girls want to know why i am in their dressing room. i can be tough for awhile and say "this is who i am i don't care what anyone else thinks" but sometimes, no matter how strong i feel, it's no fun to be stared at. especially when people get really curious and i realize they are staring at my crotch.
that happened to me on the street once, and then the guy looked at me like he wanted to take my face off.
the gap, the reason i go there.... lots of gay boys work there and they don't think i'm wierd. i don't know why they all work at the gap, and only straight people work at american eagle. go figure.

that's shit. i can only relate to that in the sens that i always feel really ugly compared to most people who i see in clothes shops, so I just feel stupid buying anything that could make me stand out even a tiny bit. plus i have no sense of style so i'm lost right from the start doesn't binding down your breasts get uncomfortable? there must be some places on earth where you wouldn't be judged by that kind of thing, at least i would hope so. but people can be really bizarre sometimes. it's hard not to want to look at something you perceive as 'different', but there is absolutely no need to be rude.
anyway yes, shopping seems to be such a favourite hobby of so many people but to me it's just a combination of everything I hate to do the most. i don't mind buying things like books and music so much but even then the cheapskate in me tells me off for buying them when i've already got plenty of books already...i'm basically just ebenezer scrooge in the body of a 21 year old female, that pretty much sums it up!

I've got the money problem too, as do many of us 21-year-olds. The reason shopping annoys me is that when I'm looking for something I can NEVER find it. The trick is to keep an eye out and just be prepared to buy something if it is perfect, because at some later point you're bound to need it and once you start looking for it...
Another thing I can't stand is that everything has to be so modern and ugly. What has happened to taste (in this country at least)? About the only shops I ever find anything I like are junk shops. As for clothes, it's a rare thing when fashion just happens to coincide with my taste, and there's no WAY anything will be available if it's not in fashion.
I once got this wonderful tweed jacket at (of all places) Just Jeans. A once in a lifetime find. I bought it on the spot, though at the time I didn't need a jacket, and I'm glad I did because I certainly needed it later. And now it's wearing out and I can't find anything to replace it, of course.
We would all like to look less shabby than we do, too. I was having this conversation with my mother this morning, and when we really looked at the people around us we realised that most of them look pretty shabby as well. It's only the really nice looking people we take any notice of, which proves that no one will notice if you look shabby. I was just saying how I'd love to win a large sum of money which I was only allowed to spend on clothing, because as it is, travel is my priority, meaning I don't buy clothes unless I really have to.

I just came back from the mall where I bought a splendid pair of corduroy trousers and a dress shirt that actually kinda fit. My problem with clothes shopping is that I do it too often. One of my bosses at work calls me a "clothes horse" cuz I catwalk in a new shirt every other week or so. I'm probably just masking my depression by spending prodigously. Oh well. At least I'll look good when I'm bummed out

Curious thread indeed...it brings back memories of my last job. I hate go shopping too, specially when I get on weight and I hate the girl in the mirror and everyting looks awful on me. Now that I´ve slimmed down, I have no money to spend....shit!!
It happens that Im fashion designer and part of my job is "go shopping". That means I go shopping all over the world with my company´s credit card for two or three days: London, New York, Berlin, Milan, Paris, Barcelona.... Can you imagine how amazing is spending 5000 pounds in just one day shopping in London or 10.000 $ in New York??. Energy, Diesel, Miss Sixty, Quicksilver, Pepe Jeans, Rare, Guru, Ralph Lauren....coolest brands, exquisite qualities, and best part is you don´t have to try on, just pick it up and pay for it, just beautiful clothes from best shops and more expensive brands....wow, that was really good, I miss it!!!
Worst part is you get use to that clothes and, of course, you want to wear them but you can´t afford them...It´s a kind of torture, but anyway, it´s so cool...oh, how I miss it!!!! :'(

Very gratifying that so many people hate shopping as much as I do, especailly for clothes. Nothing works for me except shorts and tshirts, or jeans and jumpers, with sandals or joggers. Hair is another problem: I feel out of place and out of my depth at the hairdressers, like an imposter or something. When my son was going to get married in a big cathedral wedding (it's all off now), my friends all wanted to help me buy the 'mother-of-the-bridegroom outfit. I've been spared - phew. (after that scare I told both my sons that if they ever marry their girlfriends it had better be a back garden low key affair)
I once got it right: I was 17 and Mum was worried I was too tomboyish. In an attempt to get me to be more feminine she got my big brother to take me to a dance. I was too stingy to buy a dress so I got some material and tried to make one. Not being an expert I just got the pattern, and pinned it together inside out, put it on, adjusted the pins to my exact shape and sewed it. The result was a sexy clingy dress, which I did not recognise as such myself. I was utterly astounded at the interest it engendered, and ended up going out with an architect wigh a red MG sports car. (didn't last) (me and him I mean, not the car)

I used to like clothes shopping. I liked actually going to some bricks and mortar stores, looking around, getting good deals. Now I don't care for it.
As I get older, I find that I really want comfortable clothes more than anything else. B/c of my profession, I have a number of suits, which I hate wearing. However, I'm not working at the moment, so I can wear whatever I want. My preferred outfit is jeans or khaki pants and a button down shirt, not tucked in.
My problem with shopping is that I just don't like anything I see in stores anymore. So much of it is tacky--ugly colors, weird designs. I'm petite too (about 5'3"), so it's hard to find things that fit. I started to use L.L. Bean a lot. Their catalogs and the online store have a ton of stuff, and it's classic-looking stuff in nice colors. That's where I get my slacks and button down shirts. I also go to the Polo Ralph Lauren outlet stores and get their oxford cloth shirts on sale. (Not sure if you have LL Bean available in the UK?)
But shopping for anything else? Forget it. It's a pain.
I used to be a real shoe collector too, but I've stopped that. I'm happy with the shoes I have. I would rather wear clogs than the ridiculous stiletto heels that I see a lot of women wearing these days.

well i'm very glad to hear i'm not the only one who hates it this much i thought i was weird, being a girl and all I was always under the impression that I was supposed to love it...
selma - wow you sound exactly like me! well as far as shopping/travelling goes. hmm i went to the travel agents this morning and the guy who I had the appointment with was very attractive, it was a bit of a distraction although i can't actually remember what he looks like now, oh well. I'm going to take on board your advice for buying stuff even if I don't need it straight away, there were quite a few things I liked in the shops a few months ago but now I'm looking for a few wintery things there's nothing! I wish I didn't have such conservative taste in clothes sometimes. Although I hate looking through shops where everything isn't presented really well, I can't do the whole rifling through sale stock trying to find a bargain, I haven't got the eye for it at all.
I hate the hairdressers as much, if not more than, shopping too. Imposter is the perfect word, the whole experience makes me feel very uncomfortable which is the main reason I only go about once a year, get a load chopped off and let it grow out for as long as possible.

Ah! Mockingbird! How can you not like the hairdressers? I admit it's a march through hell to find a stylist you like but once you do -- well -- for me it's heaven. I leave feeling so fresh and clean and sharp and with my shoulders and scalp freshly massaged!

haha i just hate staring in the mirror for an hour looking all pasty and horrible and how stupid i look with wet hair being flung all over the place, and having to decide what kind of haircut i like and stuff. although the hairdresser i go to at the moment, although it's kind of expensive and she doesn't always cut my hair exactly how i like it (i'm bad at explaining as well), is pretty good. the woman who cuts my hair is lovely and they massage your head and give you a cup of tea and everything, so that makes it more bearable, but i still don't like it!
oh the woes of 21st century living...

I just came back from the mall where I bought a splendid pair of corduroy trousers and a dress shirt that actually kinda fit. My problem with clothes shopping is that I do it too often. One of my bosses at work calls me a "clothes horse" cuz I catwalk in a new shirt every other week or so. I'm probably just masking my depression by spending prodigously. Oh well. At least I'll look good when I'm bummed out
i think i need to go shopping with someone like you. then i won't notice disliking it, instead it would be fun!!
i've cut my own hair for years, because i don't like strangers touching me. i've got to know a barber who works by me really well, but he only cuts the hair of middle aged men!
oh, and mockingbird, binding my breasts actually feels more comfortable to me... i sleep like that!
i think most people really don't give a hoot what i do. some of my fears may be all in my head! it may just be part of the self-conscious bug i get when looking for clothes.

NEW ORLEANS – Cornerback Brandon Jones (Sicklerville, N.J.) returned an interception 14 yards for a touchdown and WR Brandon Coleman (Accokeek, Md.) took a pass from QB Gary Nova (Elmwood Park, N.J.) 43 yards to the end zone in the fourth quarter to help Rutgers surge past Tulane 24-12 to notch the first win of head coach Kyle Flood's career "On the Banks" Saturday night in the Superdome.
The Scarlet Knights (1-0) struck first in the contest, with RB Jawan Jamison (Starke, Fla.) breaking loose on a 46-yard touchdown run with 9:42 remaining in the second half. The RU running back juked a final Tulane defender before finishing his sprint to the end zone. Jamison finished with 112 yards on 18 carries.
Tulane (0-1) was able to find first half points with a 40-yard field goal from kicker Cairo Santos with 41 seconds left in the second quarter. Rutgers wasn't done, with junior WR Jeremy Deering (Tampa, Fla.) returning the ensuing kickoff 55 yards to Tulane's 45-yard line. Freshman K Kyle Federico (Ponte Vedra, Fla.) ended the drive and the half with a 28-yard field goal to give Rutgers a 10-3 lead at the break.
The Green Wave tightened the game to 10-6 with a 32-yard field goal from Santos at 14:52 in the fourth quarter.
RU then made its late surge with the 14 points from Jones' interception return and the Coleman-Nova touchdown connection. Tulane answered with its first touchdown of the night on an 11-yard pass from quarterback Ryan Griffin to running back Rob Kelley at 5:07, setting the score at 24-12 after DT Isaac Holmes (Jersey City, N.J.) blocked the extra point.
Both teams battled to a 0-0 score in the first quarter, with the Scarlet Knights leading in possession with 8:55.
Linebacker Khaseem Green (Elizabeth, N.J.) led RU with 14 tackles (nine solo), including one sack for seven yards lost. Defensive back Wayne Warren (Salibury, Md.) and DE Ka'Lial Glaud (Sicklerville, N.J.) also recorded sacks. Along with his interception, Jones made three pass breakups.
• Rutgers (1-0) opened the 2012 season with a 24-12 victory over Tulane (0-1) Saturday evening in the Mercedes-Benz Superdome. It was the head-coaching debut for Kyle Flood, the 29th coach in school history.
• The Scarlet Knights improved to 4-2 all-time vs. Tulane and a perfect 3-0 in the Superdome.
• Rutgers is now 73-61-9 in season-openers, including a 9-4 mark since 2000.
• Since 1924, Rutgers coaches are 11-1 in head coaching debuts. All-time, RU head coaches are 14-11-1 in their first game.
• Senior CB Brandon Jones (Sicklerville, N.J.) scored his first career touchdown on a 14-yard interception return in the fourth quarter to give Rutgers a 17-6 lead. It was the first INT returned for a TD for the Scarlet Knights since Logan Ryan's (Berlin, N.J.) 45-yard INT return for a score in 2011 vs. Pitt.
• Sophomore RB Jawan Jamison (Starke, Fla.) topped the century mark on the ground for the fourth time in his career with 18 carries for 112 yards and a touchdown. He averaged 6.2 yards per carry.
• Jamison's 46-yard touchdown in the second quarter was his second-longest TD run of his career. (56 vs. Army in 2011 at Yankee Stadium)
• Rutgers held Tulane to eight rushing yards on 16 carries, including -5 yards on 10 carries in the first half. Rutgers also held Norfolk State to eight yards rushing on 30 attempts in the 2011 season-opener.
• Rutgers limited Tulane to 262 yards of total offense. Dating back to last season, RU has held three of its last four opponents to under 300 yards of total offense. Since 2000, Rutgers is 41-4 when limiting the opponent to less than 300 yards of total offense in a game.
• As a team, Rutgers rushed for 151 yards. Going back to last year, RU has gone over the century mark on the ground in four of the last five games. Since 2000, Rutgers is 42-16 in games when rushing for 150 yards or more.
• Sophomore WR Brandon Coleman (Accokeek, Md.) has seven career touchdown receptions. Six of the seven have been 34 yards or longer.
• Senior All-America LB Khaseem Greene (Elizabeth, N.J.), the 2011 BIG EAST Co-Defensive Player of the Year, finished with a team-high 14 tackles. He also contributed one sack.
• Rutgers ended the night with three sacks as a team while the RU offensive line did not allow a sack.

A lot happened this weekend. Thursday's I get done with classes early so some of us go into Covent Garden where there's a natural foods market (so dangerous for my wallet but so worth it!), also a trip to the Bloch store was in order and I of course wanted to buy everything…too bad the exchange rate is terrible here. Went to the Sadler's Wells Theatre on Friday and Akram Khan was performing his incredible evening-length solo "DESH". Every night was sold out but my friend and I were able to get 12 pound tickets for barstools on the side of the balcony, but it was so worth it. I recommend anyone to look into this company, it was incredible how Khan was able to perform a solo for the entire hour and a half performance and the sets and music were beautiful. Saturday was spent with an impromptu trip to Brick Lane which has an amazing atmosphere and I can't wait to explore more of. Sunday obviously consisted of sleeping in and going to the weekly Greenwich Farmers Market (Ethiopian food and eclairs!!). I can't believe it's only been 3 weeks since classes started.
Went to the Tate Modern this weekend! It's a modern art museum located in Central London in a gorgeous area right on the bank of the River Thames. Got to see Tino Sehgal's instillation piece in the Tanks as part of a 15 week line up of performances and events, as well as an open rehearsal of Boris Charmatz's "Flip Book" based on the book Fifty Years which charts Merce Cunningham's choreography. Both were amazing and I really want to go back to explore the museum more, I could definitely spend all day there!
Today marks the first day of my study abroad term! Started off with a release-based contemporary class at 8:45am, three hours of soundscores for dance, a fantastic ballet class, and an english writing exam. I'm definitely going to be sore tomorrow but I'm so happy to be dancing every day again.
On Wednesday I finally got the chance to attend my first dance performance in London and it was so amazing! Performed in the Bonnie Bird Theatre inside the Laban building, choreographer Arthur Pita's work, God's Garden, quickly grabbed my attention. The cast was incredible and there was also live music and singing in addition to the dance theatre style. I thought it was so interesting how the choreographer was able to blend the storyline seamlessly into the dancing, and such attentive care was placed on even the smallest details. This performance was dramatic, humorous, and quite intense at times and I was very impressed. I can't wait to see more performances in London and explore the European dance scene!
…not officially, but we've finally had our placement classes this week. We took our first ballet class on Monday, first contemporary class on Tuesday, and then the second of both classes today, Wednesday. All classes went well, I had Graham and release-based technique for contemporary which was amazing. Auditions for the Rep Extracts class tomorrow to see if we get in the piece, then it's the weekend! I also get to make my timetable (schedule) on Thursday so I'll get to pick all of my elective classes which of course all sound so incredible.
Boat party cruising the Thames River was so much fun. Last event of the two weeks of fresher's events for new students
I'm located in southeast London in the Greenwich area, about a 20 minute train ride into Central London. We go shopping on Deptford High Street a lot, there's a lot of produce stands that are super cheap and has cute cafes. Greenwich is where all the pubs are located and the Greenwich Market which has food, jewelry, and clothing stands.
The Laban building is beautiful, complete with rolling, grassy hills in front. There are 12 dance studios (crazy). There's also a pilates/physical therapy room, a theatre, a cafe, and a dance library/computer lab. I'm actually a student here, its amazing.
I've been in London for about 2 weeks now and I still can't believe that I'm actually here. Greenwich is the cutest village-esque area, the facilities at Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance are absolutely incredible, the people are so friendly, and I get to live and dance here for 3 months! Classes haven't started yet, we start placements next week, so I've been exploring London a bit and dancing when I can, basically just loving my life here.

This was one of those productions where I came out of the theater scratching my head, wondering if I saw the same show as the critics. If you've read The Glass Menagerie then you know it's a very tragic, moving play. Unfortunately, this production was neither tragic nor moving. Zachary Quinto's acting was disconnected, as he seemed more focused on making sure his voice filled the space of the theater than with really responding to his fellow actors. Cherry Jones' interpretation of Amanda was…interesting. Amanda is supposed to be domineering, controlling, delusional – instead, Jones played her like a happy, sweet mom. The actor who played the gentleman caller was probably the main disappointment for me. What really tugs at your heart when you read this play is that the gentlemen caller who comes to visit Laura actually likes her, affirms her, and yet, they can never be together. That's what's so heart wrenching, what causes everything to come crashing down in the end, for Amanda to fall to pieces and for Tom to ultimately abandon them. Instead, the actor who played the gentleman caller seemed to almost be looking down on Laura and her mother, leaving the audience with no hope that Laura and he might get together and causing the ending to be very predictable. I'll save my hopes for the next production.

I was thankful to hear Williams' words spoken in the theatre but as an adult survivor of child abuse I had to listen past the performances of the two leads. Often at our support group meetings we survivors discuss how non survivors not only don't understand abuse but base their perceptions of abuse on their history of never having been abused and never having to deal with abusers on a second to second basis for years. I thought of Williams' death probably drunk and choking on a cap from a bottle of barbiturates and Rose's death in a mental asylum years later. I saw no awareness from the leads or the play's direction of the history Williams' was trying to share nor did I see any awareness of just how destructive abusive parents are. Indeed, Cherry Jones had the audience in stitches. From her performance this show could be advertised as providing 'a laugh a minute'. Hers was a Star Turn which may have been effective but was, after all, empty.

I saw this a couple days ago, and am still haunted by it. I don't recall ever being so conscious that the play itself is a memory that is playing through the mind of the main character -- a memory of a mother whose whose pathological denial of reality, and tyrannical power to force her delusions (and fake memories) on others, turns her family into doomed characters from a Greek tragedy. Zachary Quinto was magnificent.

I do not remember when or where I saw the play the first time but of course I totally moved by the ending when Tom speaks of having his sister always on his shoulder. The play itself is akin to a real family tragedy in which my Uncle felt like Tom. He used to say that it was the story of his life. Personally I thought the acting was so wonderful although as others I have little to compare other people playing those same roles. Anyway its an interpretation. There are totally absorbed mothers like this but one has to put themselves in the shoes of the mother has responsibility for a disabled daughter and only a son to help. Is it right for Tom to not have a life! No! but.....I did have some problems hearing all of Ms. Jones words and missed some of the meaning. I though she played it as overbearing but there are mothers like that..suffocating! I thought the gentleman caller was fabulous as well as the sister..outstanding performances of all four characters. I was very moved and left the theater in tears. The actors were very real to me.

i saw this play last week. i thought the daughter was amazing, and the gentleman caller, and the relationship between the two of them was beautiful. i wasn't sure why Zackary was doing strange little dance steps as he walked about the stage, and cherry jones was one note. i didn't believe either of them. i saw cherry jones in "doubt" in los angeles. she was absolutely amazing, as was the play. but i didn't believe zack or her in this performance at all, and half the time i couldn't understand what cherry was saying - the words were garbled. i know how hard these people work at this, but it didn't work.

I was not moved at all by this production. Yes, we are told up front this is a memory play, but the memory itself came off as more melodrama then poetry. The symbolism of the glass was so obvious it boarded on arcane. My main issue with the play, and something the production did not overcome, was there was not one sympathetic character. I fully understood why Tom would leave town as his father did. His mother was controlling, bordering on tyrannical, and his sister just the opposite, passive bordering on comatose.
I couldn't quite decide if the esteemed Cherry Jones was wildly overacting, or fullfilling the needs of the role. She could've certainly tamped it down to similar effect.
The 2nd act had a little narrative drive, as finally the much waited for Gentleman Caller arrives. Yet despite being the most touching scene in the play, it felt somewhat predicable. He would disappoint Laura and add to her pain, while revealing his life was no bed of roses.
By late in the second act I had keep from falling asleep.
Streetcar had power and fury and the same self deluded characters so I have to agree with the original reviews that Brantley alluded to about the play being poetic. However, it was not poetic enough or hard enough, trying to have it both ways and failing in each. This is not a great play or production.

Overwrought and overacted. Even in the balcony, that Jones and Quinto were working hard was almost palpable. Amanda-Tom confrontations all went over the top. Quinto's Tom is intended to be more physical than he has been interpreted in other productions, but the excessive movement felt contrived and purposeless. After "No Mans Land" and "Betrayal" in the previous 24 hours, this production was a distant 3rd.

You would be better of watching the brilliant RUE MCLANAHAN as BLANCHE DEVEREAUX in THE GOLDEN GIRLS. Tennessee Williams dusty and overwritten play smacks of a pretentious and indulgent writing exercise. The "narrator" Tom breaking the 4th wall now seems like a parody, in this clunky revival. Cherry Jones is a wonderful actress but her oration is hindered by a "gauze in her mouth" accent. Don't listen to Mr. Brantley. It is a waste of time (I did have a good partial nap) and money.

Your spot on review sent me to see a play I have seen so often - too often perhaps - that I intended never to see it again. I left the theater feeling I had seen it for the first time and have not been able to get it out of my mind since. Every aspect of this production is simply extraordinary. The many disappointed readers are perhaps uncomfortable with poetry when it is made manifest in every aspect of a theatrical production: lighting, set design, music and, yes, movement (dance) - every one of which are here given equal weight. Powerfully merged, seamlessly reinforcing one another, they combine with luminous performances that are all pitch perfect until one is left breathless, deeply moved and filled with aching sadness. The movement supplied by Steven Hoggett, for example, even if a relatively minor part of this production is as brilliant and character illuminating here as it was in a more major,crucial way in The National Theater's The Curious Incident Of The Dog In The Night-Time. That dark surrounding pool, another example, seems perhaps scenic overkill until the crucial moment when it comes astonishingly alive - a painfully perfect, throbbing Metaphor - only to subside once again into brooding silent frame. And for once Amanda is not a self centered horror... Cherry Jones' Amanda is almost selfless in her relentless self absorption because it's focus is genuinely on her children even if smotheringly so. Special mention must go to Celia Kenan-Bolger who is this production's haunted, flaming, exquisite center. If she is anything close to what Tennessee's sister was like you can see why he had to write this play.

Our Oct 22 TKTS mezzanine seats, oddly marked "Mezzo" on our tickets, were great. The Wingfield apartment was surrounded by what M.A. said was a dark mirror and what I assumed was water. Stage left sported a strangely angled fire escape with vertical ladders, which confused this New Yorker because it led to a door in the apartment and not a window. A later google search showed me this photo, among others: http://mreamerimages.com/shop/st-louis-fire-escape/ so, I stand partially corrected. We soon became enveloped in the Wingfields' histrionics, marveling at Laura's magical appearance, while Amanda merely popped out from behind a screen. By intermission we both felt disappointed. Cherry Jones, who had wowed us in "Doubt," in my words had made Amanda "too mean spirited," and in M.A.'s mind "only a two dimensional caricature of a flawed mother." And what did the light-edged shark fin or points of light that occasionally emerged from the water mean? M.A., a far more theater savvy person than I, explained that it was a crescent moon once one looked at the full reflection in the mirror, and that the little lights were stars. I still insisted that water filled the dark stage, but welcomed her interpretation. The production came alive when Brian J. Smith entered as the gentleman caller. Not only could we both understand his words better than the utterances of the other three actors (full disclosure: I am hearing impaired and used the theater's amplification device), but he brought Laura alive, too. It was the best scene, except for the one measly unicorn standing in for what should have been even a small menagerie. When Laura tossed the broken figurine away, however, ripples appeared in the sky, so liquid did surround the set and I suddenly saw this as a representation of the freedom Tom sought in the merchant marines and of how Laura lost herself in the shimmering world of her glass animals. But M.A. and I never saw the masterpiece so many reviewers witnessed.

Just returned from seeing this production. The star may be the production itself: the atmospherics are terrific (aside from the rather irritating incidental music, which might better have been fashioned from period 78s), and there are some surprises that play very well. The acting was largely excellent (Zach Quinto occasional strikes some false notes in his stage Southern, but his passion compensates); Brian Smith may turn in the weakest performance, but these last two point brings me to the main one.
Having lived in the South for most of my life (and now having left it), the Southern mystique doesn't go very far for me. It's a bit tired by now. And when Williams leaves it (as he does in the scene between Laura and "the Gentleman Caller"), the play loses steam (actually, it drags). So let's not get carried away here: worth attending, definitely. Stunning production and excellent performances, certainly. A play to equal Long Day's Journey into Night--I think not.

I wanted to love this show and have been eagerly anticipating it. It took me a bit to acclimate to Quinto's southern accent in the opening monologue, but no matter! The words are poetry. The set is spare, the lighting is beautiful. When Cherry Jones enters, the audience applauds. A diva has arrived. I am anticipating the pleasure of experiencing a master of her craft at work. Indeed, she is a master of her craft and that is the main thing I was aware of the whole evening. Her presence was so enormous, her accent so thick, her tone so loud. "Look at me act!" was my general impression of her. The reviewers credited her with interpreting Amanda Wingfield with more balance and nuance. Really? Balance and nuance? It was not in abundance Saturday night. Amanda is a narcissist who has monstrously damaged to her children. Amanda is terrified of being old and poor. Amanda is a struggling single mother who wants a better life for her children and is frustrated by their lack of a future that she deems worthy. I would have liked to have seen some quieter moments where she turns her volume down and you see some love and some wisdom. I found it in the play. But it didn't come across in her performance. The main emotion from her was self-absorbed denial of reality. Fortunately, Quinto was excellent, even though I didn't like his southern accent. For me, the stand-out performance of the night was given by Brian J. Smith as The Gentleman Caller. The scene between him and Laura is one of the most touching almost-love scenes ever.

This production is simply incredible. Williams's words are transcendent; and all those who speak them turn them into the poetry that they are. Cherry Jones and Zachary Quinto are just amazing. Celia Keenan-Bolger finally plays Laura as physically handicapped and agoraphobic NOT mentally challenged like I've seen her performed too many times. This is a beautiful play, beautifully performed, Miss it at your peril.

This Amanda didn't seem to "flirt" with the gentleman caller that much defusing the sexuality of this production. Not better or worse, just different. I think Jones may have been too "strong" an Amanda, who like Williams' other needy women, emit intense vulnerability as well as power usurped from those around her. This production gave me yet another take on this play. I saw Williams creating men with goals: the father, who "fell in love with long distance," and followed his job to disappear; Tom, who was a writer, had a job, handled the family bills and was also nagged to find a suitor for his sister; and the gentleman caller who was gung ho on public speaking and a career in radio and TV. HOWEVER, the women had no goals, or if they did, their goals were men. The men cant take the pressure. Husband left. Tom stayed, suffered, dreamt of leaving. All of a sudden I saw Laura's lame leg as phallic, a penis that didn't work. I never saw this play like that before but this time it hit me as a possible facet of this work. This was a time, in Williams' world, of helpless women with no options and men literally writhing under the pressure. I could still see the play the usual way: A tortured tragic story (why were audience members laughing???) of isolation within a family, a mentally ill girl and a mother trying to play her role in life after being deserted by her husband. I THINK AUDIENCES ARE DESENSITIZED TO TRAGEDY. I even think I saw Jones react badly to one inappropriate burst of laughter. I think this was a wonderful, beautiful production and I loved the cast. Strong actresses like to play Williams' women but Vivien Leigh as Blanche in Streetcar was so iconic because she knew frailty in herself. She WAS Blanche. Strong women emit their strength in spite of themselves. It was still marvelous!

Memory may be elusive but Laurette Taylor's still resonates 70 years later. The great Cherry, so perfectly picked for Amanda,does not dominate the stage in this ensemble piece which has incredible balance..
Maybe that is why the Gentleman Caller scene ,with all it's poetic nuances and subtext, emerges as one of theaters magic and major moments.

This is the only time I have seen The Glass Managerie and not been moved...at all. When did this play become a comedy? As one person commented, this show got more laughs than The Book of Mormon. Cherry Jones overacts (the commenter who compared her to Ma Joad was spot on) and I couldn't understand half of what she said. Zachary Quinto was awful and butchered some of Mr. Williams' most poignant passages. This production has no soul...just some actors over emoting. I was sorely disappointed. I'd like to have seen the show Ben Brantley saw.

Whenever the critics seem to be competing to see who can lavish the most praise on a play, I begin to worry that I am being set up for disappointment. To some extent, that is the case here. While I will grant that the current Broadway version of Tennessee Williams' iconic early masterpiece, under the direction of John Tiffany, has an intelligent unified vision, I do not think that it is a definitive version for the ages. Bob Crowley's symbolic set emphasizing the isolation from reality of the Wingfields' apartment is an interesting choice. Nico Muhly's incidental music is quietly evocative. Steven Hoggett's stylized movement design seemed more often a distraction than an asset. Crowley's costumes for the women seemed off -- Amanda's gown in the last act seemed better suited to Miss Havisham. To my surprise, the main disappointment for me was Cherry Jones as Amanda. I found her monotonously strident and lacking any trace of vulnerability in the early scenes. Zachary Quinto made a fine Tom. The scene between Laura (Celia Keenan-Bolger) and the gentleman caller (Brian J. Smith) was beautifully rendered. I feel like Scrooge, but I can't honestly say that I was swept away by this production. I liked it, but I didn't love it.

There was Geraldine Page and there is Cherry Jones. To understand these characters and play one must grasp the impact of the War Between the States, Reconstruction and the Great Depression on the South, these events collectively created Amanda, Blanche and the entire pantheon of faded Southern gentility that Williams understands so well. An entire generation of Southern women brought up with fine china and lace, who found themselves awash in poverty. And of course one must also understand that all the characters are more than a little in love with the "gentleman caller"; this production does just that.

I love this play and I love Tennessee Williams but I found this version curiously uninvolving. The production has a few good moments because the play is so great. I didn't hate it but I didn't care much. The dark humor and the human tragedy are tamped down. Ms.Jones is way too nice as Amanda. The entire play is off course. A missed opportunity.

I fear that Ben's huge enthusiasm might have made some feel the need to bash here in response. It is still just a play so it won't pay off your debt and make you ten years younger. That said it's so beautifully acted and a masterpiece of writing that if you let it, it will indeed cleanse your soul.

When I saw this production in Boston I told everyone I could,"Go see this now", and today I am telling people all over again,"Run and see this production".
Brantley's review is spot on!
I too have seen many productions of this work with most of the actress he mentions and many I thought were good especially the one with Jessica Tandy as Amanda and Amanda Plummer as Laura but this tops them all! The unspoken moments are as powerful as the spoken. This is William's memory play as it was meant to be.
I'm going again next month!

When I have seen this play in the past, Amanda has always seemed a controlling shrew and I sympathized with Tom. I gained much more insight into this more fully developed character in this production--Cherry Jones clearly conveys that Amanda is driven by desperation to protect Laura (luminously portrayed) but that Amanda is hopelessly rooted in a reality that has long passed. As Mr. Brantley notes, from the beginning, the production makes you achingly sad. I did shed a tear at the end, a rare occurrence for me.

This is the best production of The Glass Menagerie I have seen on stage - and I have seen quite a few. The actors are wonderful with great chemistry, the beauty of words clearly evident. I do not understand the negative reviews, as I found this production to be emotionally rich and fulfilling.

Fortunately I was in seat 11 (second from the wall) in the second row. I only had to lean to the right to see Tom when he sat at the table in the stage right chair. The seat next to me had no view of the table at all, and a major part of the play happens there. Probably the same for the wall seats at least for several rows back. The set could have been adjusted a bit without losing anything.
Ignoring at least some of the audience is something I've seen before. A few years ago I had seats in the center of the third or fourth row center for Mamet's "Race" and there was a solid bank of full on unmasked white lights - like 50 or 60 of them - glaring down from above the stage right in my eyes. Thank god I had a baseball cap with me. A case of a post-modernish lighting concept with no care about how it actually worked. (The play was pretty bad or at least badly directed or acted by some actrors as well. Maybe all three.)
At the Lucille Lortel theatre on Chrisopher Street the house is insuffiently raked, and the seats are not staggered. Get ready for a head to be covering your entire view of the stage. All they would have to do is stagger the seats, but then, god forbid, they would lose a few.

right on, donald, you get the vibe of the thread. fantastic!
cherry chen-chen, the bong's not new, just freshly cleaned. rock salt and 97% ethanol does wonders.

Edit. Well, fuck. When the Scientific American Frontiers artificial heart episode aired, Alan Alda showed half a dozen clear heart-like contraptions that significantly resembled that particular piece of drug paraphernalia. A cursory search today, though, shows most of them looking like two gas masks making out. I feel sheepish.

You would, BD
BUT, this reminds me of a question I have. I want to travel with my chillum to Coachella so I have a piece of my own the whole time. Obviously it's super resiny, If I clean it perfectly and make it look like new can I go on the plane with it with no problem?

I'm taking a break, I've been high for so long I think being sober will feel like being high at this point.
And I want my tolerance to be gone at Coachella.
this thread makes me sad in the pants. I've been sick and have been working on my master's thesis; I haven't smoked in 10 days This is the first time in over 10 years that I have gone more than five days without getting stoned. And I hate myself for it.
The taste I know, trust me. But unhealthy how?

The Kosovans owe us a big favour
When General Sir Mike Jackson trumpets a warning that danger lurks ahead as he does in today's Sunday Telegraph, it is sensible for us mere mortals to take heed.
Sir Mike's concerns about Kosovo should be taken seriously
Sir Mike, a former para who has seen action all over the world, has something of a reputation for being a hard-living, no nonsense soldier who does not suffer fools easily. His patience, then, must have been tested to breaking point during the period he spent in Kosovo in the late 1990s when, as the commander of British forces, he was responsible for preventing the Serbs from ethnically cleansing the former Yugoslav province of Kosovo of its Albanian inhabitants, who represent the overwhelming majority of the population.
One of the major factors Gen Jackson and his Nato commanders had to take into account during the brutal conflict that finally erupted in the summer of 1999 is that the Kosovan Albanians were not exactly playing a straight bat. There were murky suspicions that some of the "atrocities" allegedly purported to have been perpetrated by blood-thirsty Serb irregulars were in fact the work of Albanian extremists seeking to force the outside world to intervene.
Irrespective of the tactics used, the Kosovan Albanians got their way, Nato stopped the ethnic cleansing and saved their communities.
Now they are demanding full independence from Belgrade, a move that is being rigorously opposed by the Serbs who are concerned about the fate of Kosovo's minority Serb population. The expiry tomorrow of the U.N. deadline for resolving the dispute finds the two sides as far apart from a final settlement as they were eight years ago, and the ethnic Albanians are agitating to declare unilateral independence from Belgrade. But however much they cherish the prospect of full statehood, I for one hope they will show restraint. They should remember they owe the West a big favour for saving them from the horrors of ethnic cleansing, and the last thing the West needs right now is another war in Europe, which would almost certainly be the case if Serbia feels it is obliged to come to the defence of Kosovo's ethnic Serb population.

Chapter 90 Reviews
I opened my dorm room door and went straight to the kitchen, grabbing my pills from the counter top. I opened the fridge and pulled out a can of soda.
"Please don't," he said inches from my ear. I knew he would beg, but I was about to get into the shower and he had a bad habit of following me in there. I couldn't deal with that tonight. "I promise to be good," he said. "I helped you with that jerk today,"
"I could have beaten him with my eyes closed and one hand tied behind my back," I scolded myself for answering him.
"It's okay to talk to me, I'll always come back after you take the pills no matter what I'm not going anywhere. And I know you could have taken him." he said I closed my eyes I loved his lopsided grin. I shook my head.
"You promise to stay out of the bathroom?"
"Scouts honor." I had a feeling he wasn't lying about his never going anywhere so I might as well learn to live with him, I've been dealing with this for about a year now and everything that the doctors have tried, all the drugs, methods, none of their ideas worked. I took the drug bottle into the shower with me. I turned on the hot water and stripped down, as I stepped into the water, I waited to hear his voice or his touch. When nothing came I washed and then came out to my bed room. "See I kept my word."
"I'm very proud of you." I said sitting next to where his voice was coming from on my bed.
"I'm very proud of me too. Brie, I need you to trust me. I will never hurt you or let anyone hurt you." I closed my eyes as I felt his hand grasp hold of my chin. Tilting it up so that my closed eyes met his I don't know how, but I knew he was telling the truth. "Now you have an early start tomorrow, you should get some rest."

Featuring the hilarious and sassy Kristina McMillen!

In 2005, he started the wildly popular comedy website, DrHeckle.com. His comedy has been featured on College Humor, Buzzfeed, and The Chive.
