Spiced Cranberry Chutney
This, as you would expect, is a lovely, bright, Christmassy colour, and it's excellent served with cold cuts, as well as sharp, assertive cheeses. Keep in a cool dark place for a month before eating.
Makes 2 x 1 lb (350 ml) capacity jars
Ingredients |
2 cinnamon sticks |
1 teaspoon ground cloves |
1 lb (450 g) cranberries |
2 tablespoons freshly grated root ginger |
1 medium red onion, chopped |

You will also need 2 x 1 lb (350 ml) capacity jars with vinegar-proof plastic lids, and 2 waxed discs. |
All you do here is place all the ingredients in a wide, shallow pan. bring everything up to simmering point and stir well, ignoring the scum that rises to the surface - it will soon disappear. Now, keeping the heat at a gentle simmer, let the chutney bubble and reduce for about 45 minutes, or until you can draw a wooden spoon across the surface and leave a trail that doesn't fill up with vinegar. Don't forget it will thicken as it cools, so don't let it get too thick.
Towards the end of the cooking time, sterilise the jars (see note below), then fill them with the hot chutney (you can discard the cinnamon now). Cover with waxed discs, seal with the lids and label when cold.
NOTE: To sterilise jars, wash the jars and lids in warm soapy water, rinse well, then dry thoroughly with a clean tea cloth, place them on a baking tray and pop into a medium oven, gas mark 4, 350°F, 180°C, for 5 minutes.r111

LOYOLA MAROON Vol. L no. 4 October 4, 1973 No leads in Loyola's "mystery man" caper By Patti Breckenridge Maroon Staff Reporter A number of Loyola coeds are more cautious this week about walking alone around campus, especially in isolated area. Some are even completely avoiding the staircase and the bathrooms in the Science Complex. The coeds are reacting to reports last week that men were seen in the Science Complex women's bathrooms. "I was definitely scared by these reports. I'm going to avoid using the Science Complex stairway altogether," said one coed. Another coed said, "I really get scared now going to night classes. I have not used the Science Complex bathrooms since I heared about the incidents." Jack T. Kellogg, Loyola Security Director, said that three separate incidents involving a man being seen in a bathroom in the Science Complex were reported to the Security Department last week. A Loyola coed made the first two reports to the Security Department on September 24. Kellogg said she first reported seeing a male in an open stall of the Science Complex women's bathroom either September 20 or 21. In the second incident, she reported seeing a male in the same bathroom about that time of day on Sept. 24, Kellogg said. This time the girl reported she only saw the pant legs of the man in the stall, since the door was closed. A third incident was reported to the Security Department on September 25, Kellogg said, when two girls said they saw a male in the Science Complex bathroom on the second floor stairway on September 24. Kellogg said they both claimed he wore a ski mask and one girl said the man had a knife. None of the girls could provide the Security Department with much information on the description of the man, so it is undetermined whether the same man was involved in all three incidents. "We have made all kinds of attempts to catch him since then," said Kellogg, "but the descriptions we were given are nothing we can really sink our teeth into." "Even though we didn't catch him, we must have apparently scared him off, as there have been no more reports since then. The Security Department is continuing precautions, though. We are., making frequent check on the Science Complex bathrooms and this is going to continue," Kellogg said. In an attempt to find out how the girls involved in the bathroom incidents reacted to the situation, the MAROON tried to get their names from the Dean of Student Affairs, Vincent P. Knipfing. K nipt ing however, said that it was his policy not to reveal the names of students involved in such incidents. The MAROON did manage, however, to contact one of the girls who reported to Security that she had seen a man with a ski mask in the Science Complex women's bathroom. She described the incident to the MAROON: "I went to the restroom on the second floor of the Science Complex and saw a guy with a ski mask holding his hand around some girl's neck. I think he told her he wasn't going to hurt her; he only wanted to get something in the bathroom. I screamed and he ran away, up the stairs. He didn't harm the girl, but she was very upset by the incident. Apparently, he was hiding in one of the stalls." However, Sergeant Ernest Wilson, the security guard who interviewed the girls in all three incidents, said that none of the girls involved had reported being touched by a male. Kellogg added that while the incident described to the MAROON might be true, it had not been reported to Security. "Unless people report the facts to us, we certainly can't know about them," he said. "These kind of incidents have happened in the past here and we sometimes have caught people. All in all, we've been very fortunate here at Loyola. These incidents happen more frequently on other campuses. We're very concerned, but no more than usual," Kellogg said. A transfer student from Loyola In Los Angeles commented, "As a whole, the security here is much better than what we had at Loyola in L.A. which was even smaller. We had two rapes at noon there." "It's really sad when you have to fear being raped just walking around the campus or going to the bathrooms between classes," said a transfer student from St. Bernard's College in Cullman, Alabama, which has 600 students. "At St. Bernard's we had 800 acres; it was a rural area and there were never any incidents like that at all, even in the city." Some students are not particularly worried by the incident, however. One transfer student from Fordham University in New York said, "Fordham is pretty lax with security. We had much more freedom there. I like it that way. Sure, people have been killed there. But if its going to happen, it's going to happen. I wouldn't like to be raped; I think most people wouldn't. But I'm not going to walk around afraid. Your fear works against you. Self-confidence is the greatest thing. If you are living, you can't go around fearing death." Students initiate price investigation The formation of a university tood price board nas been approved by the Student Government Association, the Dean of Student Affairs, and SAGA Food Service. The price board will negotiate with SAGA concerning the appropriateness of raising food prices that are on a non-contract basis. "If I have to raise the price 111 explain it to them. Hopefully we will be on a decline (of prices) now," said Louis Stadjel, Director of SAGA at Loyola. Students interviewed by the MAROON about the formation of the price board were in favor of it. "In comparison to what I would have to spend in New York, I find the prices fair (in the St. Charles Room). An organization like Saga should have someone looking into them, though, to keep things from getting out of hand," said a transfer student. Another student said that "the big difference between those kids that are on contract and those who eat in the St. Charles Room is that the non-contract diners who eat in the snack bar or a la carte room can go home to a nice home-cooked dinner. We contract students must live wholely on that food. So they can stand bad food for one meal a day. It's different when allyyou get is bad food." The SGA proposed the formation of the price board because of the current economic situation which especially affects students who have a fixed income base, according to Patrick O'Keefe, who originated the idea. The price board will exert any available influence to guarantee consideration for student consumers. According to the draft for the proposal for the price board, the price board will: -exert any available influence to guarantee consideration for student consumers; -discuss and negotiate contemplated food price raises; -publicize through Intra-university media the results of their hearings indicating it favored or disapproved of -compile and maintain a tabulation of the results of their hearings which will indicate their decision, the SAGA Food Service response, SAGA's ativities persuant to the Board's advice, and the individual vote of each member; appropriate administrative body which decides upon the renewal of SAGA's contract. The price board members will be appointed by the SGA, the Dean of Student Affairs, and will also include a representative from SAGA. the price raise; _an(j present the file of their findings to the Student slashed By Patti Breckenridge MAROON Staff Reporter A Loyola student was jumped by three men luesday night in back of the Science Complex and badly slashed on his arms and hands, said Jack T. Kellogg, Security Director at Loyola. Albert F. Stauder, a freshman music student, was walking up Calhoun Street between Loyola Street and St. Charles Avenue when he was grabbed from behind by three white males, Kellogg said. '"We want to see you bleed,' the three men told Stauder," Kellogg said. "They then proceeded to hold him down, cover his face, and cut him about the hands and arms. They looked like cuts from a knife or razor blade." Stauder was found on the steps of the New Law School by Loyola security officers Ernest Wilson and Ron Coulonge. A call from someone asking Security to go to that locality went through the switchboard at 8:30 p.m. Sister Giovanni, L.P.N., from the campus Health Service, was available to offer medical help. Stauder was taken in an ambulance to Oschsner Foundation Hospital. The New Orleans Police Department was brought in on the case. "They came in on this for a number of reasons," Kellogg said. "First, it technically happened off-campus on city property. Secondly, they could assist us tremendously." The police said they wouldn't release further information Wednesday because their investigation was being continued. Mrs. Stauder, the student's mother, said Wednesday that her son's spirits were fairly good. "He's doing as well as can be expected. He was in surgery a couple hours last night and received a couple of hundred/ (continued on page 8J

Turkey Tours
- Ephesus
- Cappadocia
- Aya Sofya
- Mt Ararat
Meeting place of the Eastern and Western worlds, Turkey has always been a land of contrasts. Cosmopolitan Istanbul stood at the head of the Christian Roman (Byzantine) Empire for 1000 years, while its Islamic successor the Ottomans ruled the Mediterranean and beyond for six centuries more. This long Christian and Islamic history has left a legacy of historical sites, while Turkey's Mediterranean coastline has long been famous for its beaches and wild nightlife. Travel Turkey east into the interior, however, and a more traditional Turkey still awaits, where life moves slowly, and the legendary Turkish hospitality lives on.
Absolute Turkey: Winter (ETAW)
This comprehensive tour of Turkey combines history, man-made wonders and natural phenomena, as well as a vibrant and welcoming culture. Begin your trip roaming the palaces and mosques of Istanbul before journeying into the bizarre as you explore otherworldly Cappadocia. From the amazing white cliff waterfalls of Pamukkale to the bustling bazaars of Istanbul, our local CEOs will show you the region's hidden gems and make sure your trip burns brightly in your memory long after you've left this crossroads of Asia and Europe.
Highlights: Discovering historic cities and exploring the ancient ruins of Ephesus, marvelling at the extraordinary scenery of Cappadocia, enjoying dinner in a local family home, meeting a local family on a homestay
- Travel Style:
- Classic
- Trip Type:
- Small Group
- Service Level:
- Standard
- Physical Grading:
- 2
Taste of Turkey (ETTT)
When it comes to the most desired locales to visit, Turkey tends to fly under the radar. We can't imagine why. Throughout 9 days of Turkey's best highlights, we'll visit Aya Sofya in Istanbul, the Göreme Open Air Museum, and World War I sites in Gallipoli. We'll also take a jaunt to the ancient Roman town of Ephesus and tour the city of Troy. Of course, no trip to this vibrant country would be complete without wine tastings and native cuisine, including a dinner with a local family in Cappadocia. Throw in comfortable accommodations, private transfers and quick flights, and you'll want to return to Turkey again and again.
Highlights: Explore ancient ruins with a local expert, visit rural villages and share a meal, walk through the surreal fairy chimneys of Cappadocia, balance the traditions of East-meets-West

This is truly astounding to me. I've heard it said that Lincoln was "physically consumed" by the Presidency. And, I think that one needs only of see the photos from Matthew Brady's gallery, in chronological order, to follow that progression. Unfortunately, I have many of my favorite references packed up right now, so I can't consult them and back up my train of thought here. But, hadn't Lincoln just lost his most beloved young son, Willy, to one of the frequently terminal fevers of the time? And, had to sit by helplessly while Willy died over a period of days or weeks? I remember having to learn a scale of "personal stresses" way back in the eighties, which predicted a person's chances of of becoming seriously ill, having a major accident, or succumbing to full-blown drug/alcohal dependency. These things included: Loss of a child; job stress; unhappy marriage, and a few other things that would be descriptive of Lincoln's life at the time. I'm exaggerating now, don't remember the scale and all, but it seems to me, by that scale, he should have been at a negative ten. Dead, just not knowing it. Nearly unbelievable to think, that under all those combined circumstances, he could write and orate one of the most noted addresses of all time.... |

Susan, You Rock!!!! I am too tired to look at it seriously now, but this is what I remembered - I am so grateful to you for re-acquainting me with it. Now - for a Very Bad Chuckle. Very Bad. Bad Joanie! However, we will see who is paying attention here. This is awful, because, as I understand it it was meant in sincerity: Lincoln lost his son, Willie, to disease. WT Sherman lost his son, Willie, to disease. And, a General whom I can't remember, lost his son, Willie, to battle.. One of them, in a sympathy statement, said, "We have all lost our Willies". Dear Lord, for something so awful and real to turn into something that always makes me laugh - how awful. BTW, The author - I might mangle his name here - E. L. Doctornow - used this in his novel, "The March"... Last edited on Fri Jun 1st, 2007 09:26 am by JoanieReb |

Here's the thing about directing our attention so fully and passionately toward bullying: The people most affected by it are sick of talking about it.
"Kids are at the eye-rolling stage with bullying," says Cynthia Lowen, producer and writer of the acclaimed documentary Bully. "They're so inundated with messages from the media and school and this huge explosion of awareness over the last few years that it's like, 'Ugh, bullying.' "
But the numbers indicate the problem continues to plague kids. Thirteen million children are bullied each year in the United States, and 3 million stay home from school because they feel unsafe, the U.S. Department of Education reports. Kids ages 10 to 17 are more than twice as likely to have suicidal thoughts if they've been bullied in the past year, says a recent study in the Archives of Pediatric and Adolescent Medicine.
The increasing prevalence of social media and technology in teens' lives means that schoolmates' taunts and threats no longer end when a child enters the confines of home. Twenty-four percent of adolescents ages 10 to 18 have experienced a form of cyberbullying, according to the Cyberbullying Research Center.
The solution, of course, is not to stop the conversations. But it may be time to change them.
Experts in the fields of education, psychology and parenting offer five ways to adjust our approach to bullying.
Stop calling it "bullying." "If you go to a school and ask, 'How many of you have been bullied?' nobody will raise their hand," Lowen says. "When you start breaking it down by behaviors: Raise your hand if someone has spread rumors about you. Raise your hand if you've watched someone being ostracized in the last week. Raise your hand if someone has called you a [derogatory name] this week. Many hands will shoot up."
Don't assume they'll tell you they're being bullied. "If you ask your teenager if things are going OK at school, there's a good chance he or she will tell you things are fine," says Carrie Goldman, author of Bullied: What Every Parent, Teacher and Kid Needs to Know About Ending the Cycle of Fear (HarperOne). "It's easy to miss things until they blow up in your face."
"For most older kids it's very humiliating to tell their parents," says clinical psychologist Peter Sheras. Many will choose to live alone with the pain or try to alleviate it in harmful ways, such as drug or alcohol use.
If they do tell you, give it the weight it deserves. "A terrible response is, 'Oh, he was just kidding,' or 'Oh, kids are kids,' " says Goldman. "When your kid comes to you with concerns, don't dismiss them. It's only teaching them to be dismissive of other people's feelings."
Overreacting can be equally harmful. "Another reason kids are nervous to tell their parents is they're afraid their parents will march into the principal's office" or confront the bully's parents.
Find a solution together. "Stop what you're doing and say, 'Wow, that's really hard. I'm really sorry that happened to you,'" says parenting educator Rosalind Wiseman. " 'Thank you so much for telling me and let's sit down and think about what we can do about it.'"

"I do believe that it can," the Arizona Republican told reporters on Capitol Hill before going into the classified meeting. "I think it depends to some degree whether the president of the United States not only makes the case to Congress, but I would recommend that he speak from the Oval Office and tell the American people why this mission is necessary."
Shadows of the past loom in present
Rep. Janice Hahn of California, who took a red-eye flight from Los Angeles Saturday night to arrive in time for the Sunday briefing, said "there was a lot of concern in the room" about the objectives of launching a strike.
Hahn, a Democrat, said she's "not there yet" on feeling confident about voting for military intervention, adding the room of about 100 lawmakers seemed "evenly divided."
"Members of Congress that came back here today are taking this very seriously, are very concerned and are asking a lot of hard questions, probably some questions that were not asked 10 years ago," she said.
Rep. Jim Himes, D-Connecticut, also referenced the Iraq War as a reason why many lawmakers want to be careful about their decision.
"There was a lot of memories of another time when a president came and said, or at least the president's people came and said, this was slam dunk intelligence, and of course, that was not an episode that most members would ever want to repeat," he said, adding that he believes most members "are thinking a lot more about the merits of the proposal than the political consequences for the president."
If the vote were held today, Himes said he would vote "no." The congressman wants to know if the president will be able to gather more international support and would like to see more details about U.S. involvement after the strike.
The congressman also said he watched the British Parliament vote against a Syria strike "with some trepidation."
"Obviously those of us who serve in the Congress watched what the House of Commons did with some trepidation. The UK has always been at our side when we've undertaken these things, and this time, they're not, so there's a lot of questions about that," he said.
Longtime Democratic Rep. Sander Levin said he was a "yes" and expressed confidence that a majority of Congress would agree with him and will "step up to the plate."
"I've been here over 30 years, I think now and then we can go beyond politics, and this is one time we need to do this," the Michigan Democrat said.
Asked if he's aware of how a U.S. military involvement might end in Syria, Levin said, "I don't think anybody's quite sure, but I think we know where we need to start."

Worn this foundation for years and is good for full coverage, even hides my freckles! Hard to take off but a good face wipe makes it easier. Lasts all day/night but can cause acne as quite heavy on face.
This foundation definitely stays on ALL day. However it is extremely hard to take off, a nightmare! In my opinion, it doesn't really let your skin breathe and it broke me out A LOT in places I'd never broken out before!
Found my Match
This foundation is flawless. I have oily skin and have found that previous foundations I have worn smear off throughout the day (even with powder), but this stays on all day I don't even have to use powder.
It provides medium to full coverage which is nice, and I love the shade I bought too (rich tan), it matches the rest of my body perfectly (I tan in tanning beds but my face stays white).
My only critique would be that I wish it had a pump, but I can deal with out one.
So if you are looking for a foundation that lasts all day, gives medium to full coverage, and looks natural, this is for you. They also have one for dry to normal skin.
Great product, affordable too!
I love love loveeee this foundation! Can not even express how much I love it. Without a doubt this is the one foundation that will not fail me, this is my one and only foundation that I will use on a daily basis, the coverage is full and amazing without being cakey I just love this product!!! Try it and you'll never go back!
Finally found my holy grail foundation!
I was so surprised at how amazing this foundation is. This is the first drugstore foundation I've ever bought- I've previously used Clinique, Tarte Amazonian Clay, MAC, and Estee Lauder and none of them were as good as this one. The coverage is perfect- medium but definitely buildable where you need it. I've never found a foundation that perfectly matched my skin until this one.
LOVE this foundation. :)
favorite drugstore foundation
This is by far my favorite drugstore foundation. It gives such great coverage and looks super flawless. If you look super light weight foundations this is defiantly not for you.
Amazing for very oily skin.
I have very oily skin and this is a great foundation for especially the summer. A little does work a long way and I concentrate the product to where I need the most coverage then work my way out cause the formulation can look too cakey if you apply too much all over. My small issue is the packaging, the cap seems to always break on me so I wish there was a pump.
I really enjoy this foundation! I have a very oily t-zone and I find this really helps control it...the one thing I would change is adding a pump! The product is a bit thick so I have trouble getting it out..other than that, great coverage, looks flawless, and perfect at controlling oil.
very good
i got this foundation out of boredom one day and i really love it because it covers everything i need and all my acne scars and it does not stay on all day but it does if you use a powder. i dont mind the smell it just smells like paint but ive had it for about 5 months now and im not even halfway done. i would give it 5 stars if it came with a pump because it is messy
Good for oily skin but the smell...
I really like its coverage. So flawless and matte for oily/combination skin. However, I am not a fan of the smell! So bad! Smell like chemical???????? I just cant stand the smell. And please someone tell Revlon to add the pump on this foundation please? And change the smell too

H&M was thrilled to exclusively host "Fashion Star" winner, Kara Laricks at their Flagship store on 5th Avenue. Fans had the opportunity to meet with Kara and of course check out the winning collection!
Laricks Earns the Prize of a Lifetime with $6 Million in Orders for Capsule Collections in Macy's, H&M and Saks Fifth Avenue Stores
NBC's "Fashion Star" named Kara Laricks as America's first "Fashion Star" winner in the coveted season finale, earning Laricks the prize of a lifetime — $6 million in orders for capsule collections in Macy's, H&M and Saks Fifth Avenue stores. In the final challenge, the remaining three contestants were tasked with creating separate showcases consisting of three garments for each of the retailers. The winning garments are available online and in stores tomorrow.
Laricks' winning designs beat out two fellow finalists—Ronnie Escalante and Nzimiro Oputa. Her win comes on the heels of NBC renewing the freshman reality series for a second cycle in 2012-13.
A former fourth-grade school teacher, Laricks always told her students to be true to themselves. Finally, she took her own advice and pursued a career in fashion. She designs androgynous clothing for women, inspired by her love of menswear and an avant-garde Japanese design aesthetic. Best known for her hoodie scarves, collar-plus-tie, Laricks puts a spin on what is deemed traditional women's fashion. @KaraLaricks
Celebrity mentors Jessica Simpson, Nicole Richie and John Varvatos played a crucial role guiding the designers throughout the competition with the hopes that the three retailers would vie for the right to purchase and exclusively carry the work of the up-and-coming designers each week.
"Fashion Star" will return for its second season during Winter 2013 on Sundays (8-9 p.m. ET).
"Fashion Star" scoured the country in search of the next big brand in fashion. Fourteen unknown designers were chosen and given the chance to win a multi-million dollar prize to launch their collections in three of America's largest retailers: Macy's, H&M and Saks Fifth Avenue. The series features host and executive producer Elle Macpherson along with celebrity mentors Simpson, Richie and Varvatos.
The "Fashion Star" format was developed by Ben Silverman of Electus (NBC's "The Biggest Loser," "The Office," and "The Tudors"), Rick Ringbakk of Emmy Award-winning 5×5 Media ("Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution"), and E.J. Johnston and James Deutch of EJD Productions.

Frost, Nixon and Me
Once a researcher for David Frost and now a character in the motion picture Frost/Nixon, an author discovers what is gained and lost when history is turned into entertainment
- By James Reston Jr.
- Smithsonian magazine, January 2009, Subscribe
In May 1976, in a rather dim New York City hotel room filled with David Frost's cigar smoke, the British television personality put an intriguing proposition to me: leave your leafy academic perch for a year and prepare me for what could be a historic interrogation of Richard Nixon about Watergate.
This would be the nation's only chance for no holds barred questioning of Nixon on the scandal that drove him to resign the presidency in 1974. Pardoned by his successor, Gerald Ford, Nixon could never be brought into the dock. Frost had secured the exclusive rights to interview him. Thus the prosecution of Richard Nixon would be left to a television interview by a foreigner.
I took the job.
The resulting Frost-Nixon interviews— one in particular—indeed proved historic. On May 4, 1977, forty-five million Americans watched Frost elicit a sorrowful admission from Nixon about his part in the scandal: "I let down my friends," the ex-president conceded. "I let down the country. I let down our system of government, and the dreams of all those young people that ought to get into government but now think it too corrupt....I let the American people down, and I have to carry that burden with me the rest of my life."
If that interview made both political and broadcast history, it was all but forgotten two years ago, when the Nixon interviews were radically transformed into a piece of entertainment, first as the play Frost/Nixon, and now as a Hollywood film of the same title. For that televised interview in 1977, four hours of interrogation had been boiled down to 90 minutes. For the stage and screen, this history has been compressed a great deal more, into something resembling comedic tragedy. Having participated in the original event as Frost's Watergate researcher, and having had a ringside seat at its transformation, I've been thinking a lot lately about what is gained and what is lost when history is turned into entertainment.
I had accepted Frost's offer with some reservations. Nixon was a skilled lawyer who had denied Watergate complicity for two years. He had seethed in exile. For him, the Frost interviews were a chance to persuade the American people that he had been done an epic injustice—and to make upwards of $1 million for the privilege. And in David Frost, who had no discernible political philosophy and a reputation as a soft-soap interviewer, Nixon seemed to have found the perfect instrument for his rehabilitation.
Although Nixon's active role in the coverup had been documented in a succession of official forums, the absence of a judicial prosecution had left the country with a feeling of unfinished business. To hear Nixon admit to high crimes and misdemeanors could provide a national catharsis, a closing of the books on a depressing episode of American history.
For all my reservations, I took on the assignment with gusto. I had worked on the first Watergate book to advocate impeachment. I had taken a year off from teaching creative writing at the University of North Carolina to witness the Ervin Committee hearings of 1973, from which most Americans' understanding of Watergate came, because I regarded the scandal as the greatest political drama of our time. My passion lay in my opposition to the Vietnam War, which I felt Nixon had needlessly prolonged for six bloody years; in my sympathy for Vietnam War resisters, who had been pilloried by the Nixonians; and in my horror over Watergate itself. But I was also driven by my desire for engagement and, I like to think, a novelist's sense of the dramatic.

I think the movie was very accurate. Obivously some parts had to be made up in order to make an entertaining movie. Besides the drunk phone call from Nixon to Frost the night before the enterview, I dont think there were any major parts of the movie that were just completely made up. Things as irrelevant as the way Frost met his girlfriend, in my opinion, seemed to be a little to coinsidential. As far as Frost's approach to the interviews, I feel they were very accurate. It seems like he had the weight of the world on his shoulders with everyone iching to get a confession out of Nixon but maintained his composure when everyone else paniced after the first couple unsuccessful interviews.
Posted by Denzell C on May 28,2009 | 11:37 AM
Nixon's line, "Well, when the president does it that means that it is not illegal" was not spoken during the Watergate part of the interview as depicted in Frost/Nixon but appeared earlier in the interview during the Vietnam War segment. The context in which Nixon uttered this line referred to national security matters that the president has to deal with. To juxtapose this as Morgan and Howard did, is unfair to Nixon, history and the audience. A more recent corollary to this Nixonian dictum, is the Bush/Cheney Theory of the Unitary Executive.

Reston seems still hung up on his misappropriated animosity for Nixon for the Vietnam War. He somehow as always been blind to the fact that the impetuous Kennedy and the bungling Johnson created such a mess it took years to unwind. I certainly can't justify all the actions Nixon took but I also don't envy the position he was put in. To the Watergate coverup - let us for one minute presume Nixon did not know what they were doing till after the fact and then simply tried to protect his cohorts from their own stupidity. I can't help but believe Reston would have done the same for a close friend or confidant - then again maybe he has never had one.

The Lie That Tells The Truth is a fine book by John Dufresne, a novelist, short story writer, and English professor, that says all that needs to be said on the subject. Recreating an historic moment is wonderful and has its place. Creating the essence of such a moment through a dramatic device has its place. Both the play and the film have their own verities. Authors of histories and participants in historic events are brave and smart when they stand aside and allow an artist to paint a new picture of what they wrote or saw as participant. Fish and fowl. Sometimes foul. C'est la vie.
Posted by Richard McDonough on December 30,2008 | 03:37 PM
Having lived through those times I was skeptical of how the new movie presented the interview since it was not how I remembered it. This article confirms my suspicions. Rewriting history and presenting it as fact (which is how the film has been received) is dishonest and dangerous to all of us. The major media needs to take a page (literally) from a magazine like Smithsonian on how to report history.
Posted by Kris on December 26,2008 | 02:19 AM
Mr. Morgan's statement about history is disingenuous. In this case, there is a factual history to refer to, namely the tapes of the original interview. So, if the playwright wants to exercise artistic license for the sake of creating a stage drama, he could call it more truly: "An Artist Impression of the Frost/Nixon Interview", just as painters title their works. I don't object to Mr. Morgan writing a play; but I have to object to his corrupting attitude towards history, in which it doesn't matter what actually happened. If you don't think it matters, just consider the horrible consequences of our current president's lack of any grasp of historical reality, especially in terms of near eastern geopolitics.
Posted by Martin Tornheim on December 20,2008 | 06:16 PM
Having directed the piece myself, in Toronto and Vancouver, I must say it does NOT bear scrutiny, the kind of scrutiny that a play normally has to withstand. It is a clever screenplay, written, oddly, for the stage, and now, rightly, a film. The truth is definitely sacrificed for entertainment value. Enjoyable ride though...

I do NOT attend movies, they announce that they are telling a story from a known book. Watched it is impossible to recognize the book you have read. I am afraid that the history being taught is much of the same. Producers chose toHOLLYWOODIZE every story ! They change so much of the original that I loose respecdt for the authors who accept the cash to have their name assoicated with the production. I find much to argue with in much that is presented on Film and television and toof often in subsequent print, magazines and newspapers. WE ARE IN DESPERATE NEED OF HONESTY.

"Memory is the mother of the muses" goes the old saying, perhaps because the arts help make their subjects more memorable. Surely "The Iliad" has held human imagination far longer and more vividly than any purely factual account of the so-called Trojan War. Shakespeare's history plays are likewise not chained to pure fact but to memorable drama. Those under forty have hardly heard of Watergate, but this play and film may well increase their awareness of it. That seems like a good thing to me.

I was busy raising 4 kids during this time and I'm ashamed to admit that I didn't watch this interview. Where can I purchase a copy of it for myself? I plan to buy the book, also. Joanna
Posted by Joanna Cowell on December 17,2008 | 06:19 PM
I think I come down on Reston's side. Factual history is History, imaginative history is Fiction. Fiction may well be stronger dramatically than History but it is important to maintain the distinction. Greek tragedy was a characteristic of that civilization and was a teaching vehicle. History should be as accurate as possible and improving it to make it saleable is a perversion that, though in this case modern, has been a problem throughout recorded history.
Posted by Don Borden on December 17,2008 | 06:09 PM
The author of Frost, Nixon, and Me, Mr. James Reston, Jr was extremely graceful in his acceptance of the alterations of his material for the play and movie. I don't know if I would have been as forgiving or tollerant of the changes even though they were for "entertainment" sake. I appreciate all Mr. Reston did and am happy that his works have been published. Thank you for your clarity of vision and the demonstration of your kindness.
Posted by Dene McFadden on December 17,2008 | 04:32 PM
If Nixon had actually been tried for the crimes of Watergate, US and World history would be different. Jerry Ford would have been (re)elected. The sequence of US presidents would have changed. Misdeeds of US presidents of the future would have been inhibited. Misdeeds such as the invasion of Iraq would have been inhibited and likely prevented.

Comments about Anthony Logistics for Men Glycerin Cleansing Bar, All Skin Types, Citrus, 5.5 oz:
Other than the Kiehl's exfoliating bath bar, I usually would grab something off the shelf at the grocery store such as Irish Spring, so it is safe to say that I generally do not purchase higher quality bar soaps on a routine basis. However, I decided to give this bar a test drive because I have not yet found an Anthony product I did not like, and this one is not exception. High quality soap with a great strong fresh scent. Give it a shot.....

Product 427/674
Why does everyone keep telling her that she needs a man?
That's the question that keeps running through Nicey Johnson's mind. She's quite content running her matchmaking business Pamper Me and doesn't want a man in her life. At least she thinks she is until a chance meeting with the blonde hunk in the parking garage.
Will Nicey take a chance on her blonde hunk or will she play it safe?
Spencer Carlton is tired of being asked out on dates because of aspiring actress wanting to get closer to his famous Soap Opera sister. That is why when he spots the gorgeous chocolate dipped beauty hurrying past his car he decides to lie about who he is when he asks her out on a date.
After a rocky starts Nicey starts to fall for Spencer but will all of it be ruined when she finds out his secret? Or can Spencer make Nicey forgive him in time to become his Valentine's Day sweetheart?
"Excuse me. Can I talk to you for a few minutes?" a rich voice asked cutting through her thoughts as Nicey made her way towards her parked car.
Gasping, she spun around and stared up into the bluest eyes she had ever seen in her life. The man behind her was absolutely gorgeous. She couldn't help but to look away from his eyes to get a better look at his body.
His massive shoulders filled out the black coat he was wearing and it stopped right past his knees. He looked very powerful, with his wide chest and muscular build.
Nicey dragged her eyes away from his physique back to his face. The set of his chin suggested a hidden stubborn streak while his lips were firm and sensual. They made her wonder if he was a good kisser.
Would he know how to use those lips on her?
She slowly continued her appraisal of him and realized that his blond hair was a stark contrast to his naturally tanned skin. There was no doubt about it even in a crowd of men, his presence was stand out and make the others fall into the background.
"Do I know you?" she asked taking a step back closer to her car.
What in the hell was wrong with her staring at a stranger like that?
She didn't get an immediate sense of danger being in his presence, but a woman never knew nowadays.
"No, you don't," he smiled displaying a row of perfect white teeth, "and that's why I stopped you."

NEW Leadership Research Series Report
2012 API Representation on Fortune 500 Boards
LEAP's 2012 API Representation on Fortune 500 Boards marks the eighth report in the series and the fourth edition of research focusing on the private sector. It reveals that while corporate America continues to benefit from the growing strength of the API consumer sector, it still offers too few opportunities for APIs to participate in corporate leadership. Nowhere is this more evident than in company boardrooms.
Since 2010, when LEAP published its first research on API representation on corporate boards, only 16 additional companies in the Fortune 500 now have APIs on their board, which means that 77.2% of these companies lack API representation in their boardrooms. While board seats held by APIs have increased 24 percent in the last three years, we must put these numbers in perspective. It is startling that the fastest growing community in the nation, with the highest college graduation rates, still holds just 2.6 percent of board seats in the entire Fortune 500. The good news is that the comparative data over the past 3 years shows a very slow but positive trend towards adding more directors, gaining more seats, and just as important, more Fortune 500 companies are electing new directors of API descent. In 2012, 129 APIs held 144 board seats in 114 Fortune 500 companies, compared to 96 API directors, 115 board seats at 98 companies in 2010.

The online course materials cover a portion of the information you would receive in a traditional classroom setting. An additional classroom conclusion course is then required to complete the hunter education course and receive a Colorado Hunter Education card. This class will be a minimum of four hours, although some conclusion courses are longer to accommodate additional material. Check the schedule for your class carefully.
The classroom conclusion course provides additional skills training, and covers topics such as handling firearms, hunter responsibility and ethics, Colorado game laws, and other hands-on learning activities. The classroom portion of the course will take place over either one or two days.
Internet-based conclusion courses are NOT available in all areas of the state, and may not be available at a time convenient for the student.

Motoring giant accused of bullying over homes plans
12:30pm Friday 29th June 2012 in News By Melissa Hills
FORD has been accused of bullying after it sent a letter hitting out at councillors for refusing plans to build 450 homes near its Dunton site.
The motor giant and Bellway Homes, which wants to build the properties, sent a letter through Deloitte solicitors to Basildon Council's planning committee.
It stated both organisations felt councillors had been "misled" and made their decision to reject the application based on "false or inaccurate information".
Ford and Bellway want to build the homes on greenbelt land in Dunton, but their plans were refused at a planning meeting on June 12. The letter angered councillors, as it also said the applicants were now considering taking the decision to a planning appeal, which could cost the council thousands of pounds if it loses.
Phil Rackley, Labour councillor for St Martin's ward, who sits on the planning committee, said: "The letter was a bit of a bullying tactic.
"It was quite shocking for the committee to receive it. But it is not unusual for applicants who have been refused to write to us with their views. The decision was perfectly sound. It was taken after a proper debate by the committee.
"The letter was Bellway's and Ford's way of trying to make the committee debate this again, but the decision has been made and we will be sticking to it."
Because of the letter, the planning committee re-voted on the issue on Wednesday. But they refused the application for a second time, on the grounds it did not comply with council planning policy.
John Dornan, Tory councillor for Laindon Park and cabinet member for the environment, added: "I stand by everything I said at the first meeting. It is unfortunate the solicitors have produced this letter. In my opinion, they tried to influence the committee and undermine the good work of local councillors who have done their best on behalf of the people of Laindon."
The council is currently consulting on a new planning blueprint for Basildon – which could pave the way for the development to eventually be approved. But, if agreed, that policy would not come into force until 2014.
The letter also stated Ford remained committed to the Dunton engineering centre.
It said: "The decision to progress a planning application on this land for residential development in no way means Ford is lessening its commitment to the Dunton Technical Centre."

I own the R2 and judging from this review, the R3 really is an improvement. And might I add, those fans are among the, if not the best fans I've ever came across.
Looks nice, I like the minimalistic exterior. For R4, please include support for longer cards, front usb3 and a clear side window option with no fan opening. You'll get my money then.
Because the market has changed. Many case manufacturers have brought out new cases, which cost between 80 and 100€ with features like USB 3.0, hot-swappable hard drive bays and the likes. Fractal has taken a good case, and not really added a lot of new features, just improvements. While the case is still great, it feels a bit like they are not evolving as fast as the market itself. Thus the lower score.
Heh its good that Fractal is widely available in Europe. By the way since when do you reside in Berlin? Wasn't Austria good enough anymore? And why not Switzerland? (Would be nearer to Stuttgart, since you're Wizz' sidekick *nudge nudge*
There are two negatives I could add to that regarding the bottom intake since I built my system using that case: The filter screwed to the bottom intake may come in contact with the 140mm fan that you fit to it, especially a Fractal Design 140mm as that was the fan I fitted. This would cause some scrapping noise which would remove the silent element of the case and it is possible that it could prevent the 140mm fan from working properly too. Second issue may not apply to all, but it did to me which was that the bottom intake's filter colided with my Corsair HX 750W ATX PSU so I had to unscrew the filter in order to put my PSU in and I had to use a smaller 120mm fan instead of the 140mm fan too since my PSU was a bit long in depth.
Make it bigger, give it hotswap and USB 3.0 . . . then I might buy it. Excellent review btw, but in the future I think it would be good to take an extra picture of the inside of the case with a bit more light since these all-black interiors make it hard to see all the detail in normal lighting. Either that or I need to calibrate my monitor again
I agree about the lighting. I just moved to germany 4 months ago and am - well in a temporary state of "flux" as far as my living situation is concerned. Rest assured, that 2011 the images will get better. MUCH better I have big plans gentlemen - very big plans
Great review DS as always. I just want to say I want this case. Not for my everyday case but for a secondary pc. I want the Phantom or Corsair 800D for my everyday computer
That's great to hear...it would be nice to see a review of this case with many hdds...you cannot test a case for rigidity, construction, noise eliminating features etc by using a single SSD... 5-6 hdds would be an appropriate testing configuration for that case...both because this is the main audience for the case, and because the actual "testing" of such a case would require it... The recent bit-tech.net review of the case is a good counter-example of an in-depth review... Really looking forward for the DefineXL, but a decent review has not yet hit the web... PS: In many references to the case in the review "R2" is used...mainly in the beginning.
I have the Arctic White Define R3 you can see it on youtube, I think I'm the only one so far with an Arctic White one on youtube. And my site has some pics of the STORM-TROOPER BUILD Define R3 if you want to see em go visit www.envious.eu The white seems to have a better paint job and has a red POW LED instead of the blue LED on its Black Pearl model. Its also more costly to buy I guess down to the extra paint. Your going to need fan filters for this, the white one seems to collect dirt/dust finger prints faster I'm using DEMCifilter on mine both of the top case fans use the 140mm fan filters and one stuck on the side/door panel fan intake. I also added some small red glass tea candle holders for the feet of this to get more air from the bottom, I'm sure its not needed but it looks freaken shweet with them and the Red LED strip I got on the bottom. It was a joy to build in too and for 99€ I forgive them their design decisions to ad a plus to a bigger hole for the CPU cooler mounting bracket but leave little room for wiring the PSU behind the MoBo Tray. Anywhos www.envious.eu is the site I worship my Define R3 Arctic White STORM-TROOPER BUILD
It looks like a good case but i do not like cases with front doors. I always find a way to break it off when im using it LOL
There is actually a new model of the Fractal Design cases being made called the Fractal Design Arc which is mostly the same as the R3 series cases (especially inside the Arc case, you could argue that there is little or no difference), except that the front doesn't have a door and it's been tweaked to get better airflow with the top and front panels.
Personally owning this case I am really unimpressed, Fractals attempt to reduce production cost churned out a case which feels flimsy and cheap. I own the Arctic white R3 and I absolutely love the design but I hate how cheap the case feels. The paint is chipping and peeling in some areas and the side panels feel wobbly and weak. The front intake covers are so thin I don't think it will last if opened regularly (to even clean the dust filters). The rubber cable hide-aways fall out easily and don't stay in place. The doors are a major pain to put on, and the rubber grommets for the hard drives are absolutely garbage. I know Fractal is a relatively new company but still, my much cheaper Antec 300 is definitely a lot more solid and cost $55 (CAD) which is less than half what I paid for the white wobbler. :shadedshu I would have "generously" given it a 6/10. Pros -Looks Great -2 Included fans are sleeved and silent -Dampening material makes case much quieter -Easy installation -Lots of places to hide cables Cons -Side panels are flimsy and cheaply constructed -Front fan guards are poorly constructed (flimsy again) -Paint peels/chips off easily (-VERY DISAPPOINTED-) -Lack of USB 3.0 -Fan holes are to close together causing whining noises on higher CFM fans -Rubber hide-aways for cables fall off easily Next time you do a review, Id like you to be more critical in regards to build quality, Id hate to see a biased review to push a brand name.
My first post on the forums so a greeting goes out to everyone. Darksaber thanks for this review. I recently got myself this case and in the next couple of days I'm gonna start filling it. I have myself the same Super Mega cooler from Prolimatech and I was wondering what fan did u slap on it? I'm about to place an order for 2 sets of Gskill Ripjaws and I'm really afraid that SuperMega + Noctua P12 aren't going to allow to place a stick on the first RAM slot that is any higher than 35mm.
ncixus has them but their shipping has always been retarded every time I've thought about buying anything off of them. I hope frozencpu or performancepcs can start carrying these soon.
LOL! Sorry, I had the exact opposite experience. I used to own a Antec 300 case myself, I upgraded to the Fractal Design R3 Black Pearl because to me the Antec 300 was only a temporary since it didn't belong to me, but while using it I found the build quality to be mostly like the cons you got from your experience other than the issue with the paint. When I got my R3 I was impressed as it felt like a massive upgrade with the build quality and airflow set-up I was able to do, but even I must admit there are a couple of flaws I found myself which I've already mentioned in this thread. As for the paint work on the Artic White R3 I heard someone saying it was superior to the paint work on all other models including my own yet I don't seem to have this paint peeling/ chipping issues, if anything my paint seems to be really scratch resistant which I noticed after a few stupid accidents I made with a screw driver (despite the accidents there were no visible scratches at all) when I was trying to correct the fan on my side panel since it was blowing out instead of in a it should have been. Truth be told though I did like the Antec 300 case, but a much better version of it could be made with the panels being more solid than flimsy, the top panel having 2-3 slots for some 140mm fans as well as having a hole or two at the bottom. It could also be much better with other upgrades including the obvious on with having USB 3.0 ports and maybe a custom fan fitting for the front of the case. I would say a Lian Li version (I would like to exclude the overtall part though as a upgrade feature as I don't like it :shadedshu, although making the case a little taller, not by too much of course, might work out well) with the case being made mainly of aluminium with a black interior (like my R3 Black Pearl), along with my upgrade suggestions would be a even better upgrade of both the current case and maybe the R3 series completely. But like that is going to happen.

Message Black Gold The international Slow Food movement was founded in 1989 in response to a culture that increasingly supports fast food while forgetting to ask, Where does this come from and what is the impact? Through events, media, and partnerships, Slow Food Nation is dedicated to creating a framework for a deep environmental connection to food and aims to inspire and empower Americans to build a food system that is sustainable, healthy, and delicious. The first-ever Slow Food Nation festival—held over Labor Day weekend 2008 in San Francisco—presented an opportunity for farmers, food enthusiasts, politicians, and curious-minded citizens to connect, collaborate, and explore food-related topics. Elaborate pavilions were dedicated to various culinary experiences, with prominent food authors giving lectures, and endless exhibits constructed for educating, tasting, and browsing. In preparation for the festival, a team from IDEO set out to champion the value of compost (named "Black Gold" for its ability to transform ordinary soil into rich fertilizer). The team began its research by speaking with experts in the field, and by experimenting with various composting materials. With insights from research, the team wanted to design an educational—and sustainable—exhibit that would garner interest in the "ultimate no-waste product." More than 100 bricks of Black Gold were cast and given away as a tangible representation of the value of compost. The Presidio Trust—a federally mandated organization, which manages San Francisco's Presidio park—donated wood pallets and mulch for the exhibit. Seven hundred pounds of worm castings were procured from a local worm farm to help make the bricks. The castings, mulch, and compost were on display for participants to touch, feel, and smell, while engaging graphics and signage told the story and process of composting. Designers on site fielded questions from farmers and consumers alike, making composters out of ordinary citizens and demystifying the process. http://www.ideo.com/work/black-gold
