text: Home Politics Post-Oil Spill Recovery: Who Benefits? This week, Navy Secretary Ray Mabus released his plan for coastal-restoration efforts, which includes a Gulf Coast Recovery Fund to pay for the cleanup. Progress, right? Maybe. And maybe not. By: Brentin Mock Posted: Sept. 30 2010 1:35 PM 0 On Tuesday the Obama administration cheered the release of the Long Term Gulf Coast Restoration Support Plan authored by Navy Secretary Ray Mabus. The 130-page document asks that Congress apply the bulk of civil penalties and fines imposed on BP for its Clean Water Act violations toward a Gulf Coast Recovery Fund that would pay for coastal-restoration efforts. President Barack Obama has granted his blessing to the plan, which, according to Mabus, "is the result of listening to the people of the Gulf Coast." But there are already questions about exactly which people he was listening to. One of the most crucial components of the plan -- and the part that will be most closely watched -- is the establishment of a Gulf Coast Recovery Council, which would manage the Recovery Fund. This will be a much-watched-over group, not just because of the money it protects but also because of the president- and governor-appointed members who populate it. The plan makes a rather ancillary call for citizen stakeholders to be a part of the council, but without any language that really mandates this. Literally hundreds of grass-roots and advocacy organizations from Alabama through Texas have worked from Day 1 of the spill to provide claims-application help; language-barrier assistance; personal protective equipment for cleanup work; grants for small businesses and fishers to stay afloat; and more. And they've also worked to ensure that citizens' and workers' voices are heard before any policy proposals came down from state and federal government. Yet despite Mabus' statement, many of these organizations are saying that the plan, while an important step forward, does not address the concerns of all Gulf Coast residents. Besides a lack of language about specific strategies for implementing citizen participation in the planning process, Mabus' plan does little to show strategic targeting of coastal communities that continue to be hit the hardest by disasters. "We believe this plan does not give those communities most vulnerable to disaster, be it an oil spill or a deadly hurricane, a voice in the decision-making process," says Patty Whitney of the Bayou Interfaith Shared Community Organizing nonprofit out of Thibodaux, La. "We're encouraged by Sec. Mabus' plan to jump-start the recovery through developing partnerships with Gulf Coast communities to address our most pressing challenges," says Latosha Brown, executive director of the Gulf Coast Fund for Community Renewal and Ecological Health. However, Brown says, "it is critical that community and faith-based nonprofit leaders and local philanthropic organizations, the true social innovators in the face of adversity along the Gulf in recent years, be involved in the decision-making process every step of the way to ensure new federal and private resources can best meet the needs of our coastal communities." With regard to the Gulf Coast Recovery Council, the plan calls for some of the council members to be from federally recognized Native American tribes. But one of the tribes that has been the most heavily affected by the spill is the United Houma Nation, which is not federally recognized, though it is by the state of Louisiana. The Houmas have been some of the most aggressively active and highly organized communities in the Gulf Coast in terms of fighting for equity-based recovery, and probably deserve representation on the council. Disasters from Katrina to BP have ravaged their people, whether the federal government recognizes them or not, and so they should have inclusion all the same. The council also has to be approved by a Congress that has found few reasons to get along these days, meaning a possibly hyperpartisan battle among states that vote mostly red. President Obama has said that he will appoint a Gulf Coast Ecosystem Restoration Task Force by executive order in the meantime, headed by Environmental Protection Agency chief Lisa Jackson, which is a good sign. Jackson's EPA, while somewhat bullied by BP, has been the most responsive to communities' concerns, especially with regard to environmental justice. She convened a meeting with Obama's cabinet last week for a renewal of vows to Executive Order 12898, which mandates that the federal government incorporate environmental-justice concerns into all of its policies. Doing that means placing a high premium on citizen input. If the Gulf Coast Task Force needs a road map for that, they need look no further than how the Exxon Valdez oil spill near Alaska was handled. In the years both during and after the 1989 spill, public participation was aggressively integrated through planning processes, and Citizens' Advisory councils were created to make sure that policies wouldn't fall in the hands of industry and government officials who had grown too cozy with each other.

Just a year ago, genetic therapies--treatments that work by rewriting bits of genetic code in a patient's cells--were widely heralded as the next great champion of modern medicine. Then the champ hit an unexpected slump. Gene therapy took a standing eight-count last winter, after drug contenders sponsored by a host of biotechnology and drug companies failed to cure a single patient of disease. In a highly critical report issued last December, a review panel at the National Institutes of Health chided researchers and investors for rushing treatments into human clinical trials before fully understanding all the natural defenses that genetic medicines must conquer or evade if they are to work.
Somewhat chastened, geneticists are studying their failures and starting to develop a clearer picture of what they are up against. Many researchers are optimistic that the present retrenchment actually bodes well for the long-term success of genetic medicines. In laboratories and on Wall Street, there are signs that gene therapy is starting to stage a comeback.
The challenge facing genetic medicines is daunting. First, they must somehow deliver their genetic payload into enough cells to do some good. Retroviruses seemed well suited for this task, because these kinds of viruses normally infect cells by copying part of their DNA into the genetic code of a host cell. Most early trials of genetic medicines therefore co-opted retroviruses, replacing their harmful parts with genes intended to help treat a disease, such as cystic fibrosis or brain cancer.
But viral drugs can take effect only if they can slip past the multilayered defenses of the human immune system. First comes an onslaught of antibodies soon after any familiar virus is detected in the bloodstream. These antibodies quickly bind up the virus and can also cause side effects such as inflammation. Viral particles that make it to target cells face a second obstacle: a tough membrane shielding the cell's DNA from attackers. Finally, those retroviruses that are lucky enough to make it past the immune defenses and to infect cells do so in an unpredictable manner; they typically will insert the therapeutic gene at a random position in the cell's DNA. The new gene might interrupt an important sequence, actually harming the cell. Even in the best case, new genes often end up in dormant stretches of DNA where they do not get switched on frequently enough to make much of a difference to the patient.
Geneticists were humbled by these barriers, but they were not stumped. A second wave of enthusiasm for gene therapy is now well under way, thanks to recent advances that suggest new strategies. In September, RPR Gencell (a network of gene therapy research centers organized by the French company Rhone-Poulenc Rorer) published results in Nature Medicine describing its test of a retroviral gene therapy for lung cancer. The researchers injected the drug containing normal versions of p53--a gene that suppresses tumors--directly into nine patients' tumors. This technique avoided triggering a general immune response and exploited the rapid division of tumor cells. Tumors shrank significantly in three of the patients and stopped growing in three others; nevertheless, all nine patients died.
Results from two other groups recently suggested that it might be possible to design gene therapies that altogether avoid viruses and their many drawbacks. Workers at the University of Chicago and at Vical, a biotechnology firm in San Diego, rolled a gene for erythropoietin into a circular DNA package called a plasmid. Erythropoietin is a hormone that triggers the body to produce red blood cells. Another biotechnology company, Amgen, sells nearly $1 billion of its synthetic version each year to patients afflicted with anemia and other blood disorders.
In an article published October 1 in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, the Chicago group reported that simply injecting the naked DNA into the hindquarters of normal mice boosted their red blood cell counts by a third. Equally important, the counts remained higher up to 90 days after the injection, strongly indicating that the genes had taken hold (at least for a while) and begun producing hormone. "Our results suggest that intramuscular injection of currently available genes could be used to treat a variety of serum protein deficiency diseases," such as anemia, hemophilia and diabetes, says Jeffrey M. Leiden, director of the study at the University of Chicago.

Style and Technique (Masterplots II: Short Story Series, Revised Edition)
"Eveline" is an example of naturalistic fiction in which the protagonist, described at one point as a "helpless animal," responds to internal anxieties and environmental forces, particularly the influences of family life and the responsibilities to which she has been conditioned, and of a working life in Ireland, with its impoverishment, as Joyce imagined it. The way that "Eveline" and other stories of Dubliners reflect the details and concerns of everyday life closely observed and raised to significance through art suggests the influence of the Russian writer Anton Chekhov, but Ellmann notes in his biography James Joyce (1959) that Joyce claimed not to have read Chekhov at the time that he wrote those stories.
The purpose of Joyce's realistic fiction, however, was not simply the close observation of banal detail. The details are carefully crafted and arranged so as to accumulate in such a way as to give meaning to the story's climax, in keeping with the young writer's theory of the "epiphany." The progression is dramatic in Aristotelian terms, in that the central character is brought to a point of recognition and discovery, as suggested by Aristotle's Poetics. Eveline's self-discovery comes at the very end of the story. Her revelation is that she lacks the commitment and perhaps the courage to act on her dream of escape. When forced to choose between staying in Ireland and going to South America, she...

Historical Context
Joyce, along with T.S. Eliot and Virginia Woolf, is one of the founders of the English modernist movement. Largely viewed as a reaction to the terrible realities of industrialized warfare that were unleashed during World War I, the modernist movement culminated in 1922 with the publication of Eliot's "The Waste Land," Woolf's To The Lighthouse and Joyce's Ulysses. Woolf, whose use of female interior monologues is an integral part of her novels, founded the "Bloomsbury Group." Ezra Pound, who helped T.S. Eliot with "The Waste Land" published sections of Joyce's novels in his literary journal, Egoist.
These artists all incorporate prose which is less concerned with external reality. A stream of consciousness technique which emphasizes the emotions of individual characters is utilized. What's more, the action of these works involve mundane reality, in the case of Ulysses, a typical day in Dublin, in To The Lighthouse, a dinner party. The retreat from reality into inner-consciousness is what separates these works from others of the period. The merging of external events virtually indistinguishable from the thoughts and emotions of the characters or narrator, however, did not suddenly appear in 1922; different works, primarily those of Joyce, foreshadowed the movement.
Although Joyce's early stories, Dubliners, are primarily classified as naturalist, there are...

Literary Style
As a young man, Joyce admired the Norwegian dramatist Henrik Ibsen, so much so that he taught himself Norwegian in order to read the plays and even corresponded with the playwright in his native tongue. Ibsen is one of the founders of naturalism, also known as realism. His dramas portray realistic situations which raise questions as to the fairness of society. Social hierarchies are critiqued and taboo subjects, like venereal disease, become major themes. His drama, The Doll House, is one of the first depictions of the plight of a provincial housewife. Joyce adapted the naturalistic style of Ibsen in his stories.
In an oft-quoted letter to his publisher, Grant Richards, who was hesitant to publish tales with such sordid and realistic themes, Joyce defends the naturalism in his work: "I seriously believe that you will retard the course of civilization in Ireland by preventing the Irish people from having one good look at themselves in my nicely polished looking-glass." It took Joyce nine years, to overcome all the obstacles concerning the morality of certain tales before Dubliners was finally published. While some, mostly the Irish, continue to criticize Joyce for stories that often emphasize the negative, Dubliners remains a lasting testament to social and moral conditions around Dublin at the turn of the century.
Joyce was too much of a master to have merely created...

Compare and Contrast
1900: Ireland is a British colony. Irish-Catholics are under British rule. The Irish are forced to live in the more squalid sections of the country. Irish Town, a section of Dublin known for its seediness, is like a ghetto for natives; this is akin to a Chinatown in China. The Irish are oppressed.
Today: Although much of Northern Ireland remains under British rule, parts of Ireland are independent. Dublin is the capital of an independent nation.
1900: Gaelic, the original language of the Irish, is rapidly replaced by English, the language of the colonizer. Children speak English in schools. Only in rural areas does Gaelic survive. Members of the Irish Literary Revival try to rejuvenate the language; there is an awareness that the language is endangered and it is spoken for political reasons.
Today: Gaelic is preserved by a few dedicated scholars. While the English do not control all of Ireland, the language is there to stay.
1900: Offensive and immoral works are banned by the British government. Publishers are wary because they are held accountable for the material they publish. James Joyce has a terrible time trying to get Ulysses published. Later, the Protestant writer, Samuel Beckett has the same problem. Ireland is hesitant to recognize its own literary geniuses and the law makes their works hard to spread.
Today: Joyce's Ulysses may still be...

Topics for Further Study
The life of Saint Margaret Mary Alacoque can be found in The Lives of the Saints. How does Eveline's predicament mirror that of Blessed Margaret Mary Alacoque? Joyce is always scrupulously accurate with his references. Why might he be linking the heroine with this famous saint?
Sailors appear in many works of Joyce, for example as uncouth and diseased outsiders in Ulysses. In "A Painful Case," another story in Dubliner's, Mrs. Sinico is married to a merchant seaman who is never home. Frank, the seaman in "Eveline" is presented as the only positive element in Eveline's life. Yet, there is an underside to a sailor, making his proposal both dangerous and dubious. Research what life was like for a sailor around the turn of the century.
Emigration has been a constant occurrence during the last two hundred years of Irish history. Ever since the Potato Famine in the late 1840s, the Irish have been leaving their homeland in search of a better life elsewhere. Have they found it? Frank McCourt's Angela's Ashes presents a scenario where a family actually returned to Ireland. What might Eveline's life have been like had she departed with Frank?
Joyce had a very difficult time getting his publisher and printer to actually publish Dubliners. Some of the naturalistic scenes do not portray the Irish in a positive light. Additionally, some of the stories contain themes of ambiguous morality and...

What Do I Read Next?
"Eveline" is just one story in a collection of stories, Dubliners, by James Joyce. Many of the other stories remain among the most influential short stories of all time. The final tale, "The Dead," was filmed, with painstaking detail to the original, by John Houston. The movie is an excellent supplement to the book.
A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man is the most accessible of Joyce's other works. The prose is reminiscent of the last few pages of "The Dead," the final story in Dubliners. More experimental than Dubliners, the autobiographical A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man is the logical stepping-stone to the vastly more complex Ulysses. Joyce's first novel is among one of the first instances of modernism and a seminal text in twentieth century literature. The Jesuit school Irish-Catholic upbringing is described with brilliant detail.
Nora, the biography of Nora Joyce, written by Brenda Maddox presents an interesting view Joyce's relationship with his life partner who inspired many of his characters. There are many similarities between Eveline and Nora, though Nora did indeed leave Ireland unmarried with a man, Joyce. Nora is one of the few works on Joyce to put his wife in the central role and is helpful to anyone planning a feminist approach to Joyce's work.
To the Lighthouse (1922), by Virginia Woolf, is considered to be a landmark in...

623. An Animal's Bell
Rabbi Jack Abramowitz
87:4 An animal may not go out wearing a bell even if it's muffled to prevent it from ringing. This is true even in a city that has an eiruv (because it looks as if he's taking the animal out to sell it in the market - Mishnah Brurah 305:43). The animal may wear a (muffled) bell in a courtyard but not one that rings (because it's a noisemaker - MB 305:42).
87:5 One may lead a horse with a rope attached to its bridle so long as he holds the end of the rope in such a way that less than a handbreadth (about 3.5 inches) comes out of his hand (so it shouldn't look like he's carrying a rope - OC 305:16). Also, the rope dangling between his hand and the animal should not come within a handbreadth of the ground (so the horse should not appear to be carrying it as a load - MB 305:51). If the rope is very long, the way to solve this problem is to wrap the surplus rope around the horse's neck.

The City of New Albany's Board of Aldermen voted last Tuesday to approve its proposed budget that includes three percent salary increases for most of the city's employees.
Following a demand from State Auditor Stacey Pickering's office that former Union County Coroner Mark Golding pay back $398,418.83 to county and state agencies, the case will now head to Circuit court.
The long-awaited official opening of the 44-mile Tanglefoot Trail is finally here.
State Auditor Stacey Pickering announced Thursday afternoon that special agents served a demand to former Union County coroner, Mark Golding, in the amount of $398,418.83.
PONTOTOC – The Union County and New Albany school districts received more than a quarter million dollars in grant checks Thursday from the Toyota Wellspring Education Fund.
The level of academic excellence that can be achieved in our New Albany Schools has been demonstrated for the second consecutive year.
We want to clarify a point in a recent editorial about the lack of a police officer at New Albany Elementary School. We said the "Board of Aldermen has failed for years to budget for a school resource officer" at the school.
My father used to say that it was a good thing I went to college, because I never would have made it if I had to work for a living.
New Albany reaches a new milestone next week as movers and shakers in business and development from all over the state converge on our city for a two-day conference.
Officials with the GM&O Rails-To-Trails Recreational District and Three Rivers Planning and Development District announced Monday that the Tanglefoot Trail's grand opening will be pushed back a second time.

Klostergut Paradies is situated in an idyllic location on the banks of the river Rhine between Schaffhausen and Lake Constance. The former nunnery is inextricably bound up with the history of this region and since 1918 has been the property of the Georg Fischer Corporation, one of Switzerland's leading industrial groups.
Klostergut Paradies
Klostergut Paradies is more than just the meeting point of choice for employees of the Georg Fischer Corporation worldwide. The unique atmosphere of this ancient convent attracts countless other visitors too. Some 15,000 external and internal guests attend conferences and training courses here every year.
Conference Center
The Clarissan order laid the founding stone for its new convent in
1253. Although it had to close in the wake of the Reformation in 1529,
the convent reopened in 1578 and remained operational right up until
the dissolution of the monasteries in 1836. In 1918, the estate that
had changed hands several times since its secularization was
eventually bought by the Georg Fischer Corporation, which also bought
all 50 hectares of convent lands with a view to providing its
employees with both food and housing.
To mark its 150th anniversary, Georg Fischer decided to restore
the convent and in 1948 founded the Iron Library as a foundation of
the Georg Fischer Corporation. The Iron
Library is located in the west wing of the convent and is open to
the public.
Georg Fischer opened its Corporate Training Center at Klostergut
Paradies in 1974 and enlarged the estate yet again by purchasing the
Gasthaus Paradies that same year.

Introduction: A poem to a lost friend | ||
My body trembles releasing my tears This pain in my heart been cutting for years Why did you leave me? Why did I let you? Why didn't I fight, after all that we went through? I promised I'd die for you Instead I just cried for you. I just walked away when I should have been there for you, my heart was conflicted with no ideas what to do. I'm sorry I ran at a time you most needed me at a time in our lives when it should have been plain to see. I missed all the clues, the warnings and bells and ever since then I've been living this hell. Now the years have gone by and they haven't been kind each waking moment it's you on my mind. I still look at your picture with tears in my eyes wanting so badly to feel you wanting so badly to die. |

I was wondering about this concept. . . Warriors and Generals from all throughout history are placed into a fictional world in order to do battle with and eradicate and ancient evil. For example, Napolean would be at strategy sessions with Sun Tzu and Hannibal, King Arthur and Lu Bu would fight with each other on the battle field, and eventually, your scientists would collaborate with each other for greater and greater marvels of technology.
I might make this a multiversal RP based on armies and such too.

NPR sort of hates "black music"
by Guest Contributor Kelvin
Last Monday, I was in the middle of my daily ritual of checking on my favorite online newspapers and blogs, when I happened upon a blog post on Slate.com written by Jody Rosen. The title of the post is "The DORF Matrix: Towards a Theory of NPR's Taste in Black Music". The author attempts to provide either a social commentary or critique on the selections in NPR's All Songs Considered "Best Music of 2009 (So far)".
Rosen argues that music of black origin usually selected by NPR: (1) tend to be either from obscure or dead artistes black people don't listen to (2) are restricted based on genre, and (3) heavily influenced by the majority white and male (with beards and guitars) NPR audience.
In the weeks since the publication of the All Songs Considered list, I have been puzzling over NPR's musical coverage—in particular, its approach to black music. I wondered: Could NPR's musical taste be as lily-white as the "The Best Music of 2009 (So Far)" list? After scouring NPR's Web site and studying its broadcasts—All Things Considered profiles, Fresh Air interviews, even the music interludes played between segments on NPR's marquee programs—I can report that the answer is no. It's not that NPR doesn't like black music. It merely maintains a strict preference for black music that few actual living African-Americans listen to.
Now, I don't have any particular issues with the writers description of the "Best Music of 2009 (So far)", which is voted on by NPR listeners. If you look at the list itself, it's pretty lily white and tends to hipster indie tastes. But that's a topic for another day. My problem with the article is based on a framework defined by Rosen in his article called the DORF Matrix. Rosen describes DORF as "an acronym for Dead Old Retro Foreign".
Dead: artists who have shuffled off this mortal coil. There was a significant spike in this category this summer with the passing of Michael Jackson. In general, though, NPR prefers its dead black musicians decades dead. Bonus points are awarded to performers present at the 1963 March on Washington, and to Bobby Short.
Old: musicians of advanced years. Crusty soul-belters on the comeback trail, gray-bearded jazzers, Motown legends, defunct rap groups.
Retro: musicians, young or old, performing in styles two or more decades out of fashion. Sixties soul revivalists; old school rappers who "[stick] with the puns, jokes and silly one-upsmanship that once defined hip-hop …Thank goodness"; Lenny Kravitz.
Foreign: black folks who live in far-flung places. And/or the children of Bob Marley.
Essentially, the music of black origin played on most NPR shows don't really appeal to more black folks because the music is from an artist that's either dead, old or foreign. In my opinion, the author based the framework on a myopic vision of what black people in America really like and what constitutes true music of black origin. I could not help but feel that the author believes that the only way to have true representation of music with black origins is to have your traditional rap, hip hop and/or R&B included in any considerations at all times. This is a false premise because black people in America are as diverse as ever and it has become increasingly difficult to pinpoint what black people like.
In my opinion, the biggest flaw with this framework described by Jody Rosen is the idea that "few actual living African-Americans listen to" this kind of music. Even if it was truly the case the majority of music of black origin featured on NPR came from dead, old, obscure, foreign musicians, so what?
Does Rosen truly believe black people don't possess musical tastes that fall far outside radio Top 40 music? Speaking as a regular listener , I think NPR tries to widen the horizon of their listeners by playing music rarely heard on your average urban or pop radio station. How many Clear Channel owned urban stations do you think would play "Speak Your Heart" by Lizz Wright or "They Say Vision" by Res in heavy rotation? Not too many. These artists are not categorized as belonging to the rap or hip hop genre, but so what? Not all black artists perform in those styles, and not all black listeners automatically gravitate to those genres because of our skin color.
There is an incredible amount of diversity within the black community and the inability of people to grasp this diversity in the year 2009 is simply amazing to me. Just in recent years, the number of black artists creating music in genres that aren't readily identifiable with black has been on the rise. Artists like Santigold who had a smash hit with her 2008 album "Santogold" come to mind. There were reports of retailers having difficulties tagging her album with an appropriate genre. In the end, some retailers just put her album in the hip hop section because; you know she's black so therefore she has to be a rapper. As musical artists evolve in their craft, I believe that the listening audience should also be given the chance to evolve with the music.
I think that it's high time the idea that black listeners only relate to rap, hip hop and R&B should go out with 2009.

HysteroscopyPronounced: His-ter-OSS-co-pee
Jen Rymaruk DefinitionThis procedure uses a hysteroscope to view the inside of a woman's uterus (womb). A hysteroscope is a long, thin telescope with a camera on the end. Other small, surgical tools may also be inserted into the uterus through the hysteroscope.
Reasons for ProcedureHysteroscopy is done for:
The result of the hysteroscopy depends on the reason for the procedure. In some cases, the doctor may be able to treat a condition right away. In other cases, you may need further surgery or other treatment. Possible Complications TOPComplications are rare. But, no procedure is completely free of risk. If you are planning to have hysteroscopy, your doctor will review a list of possible complications. These may include:
Factors that may increase the risk of complications include:
Be sure to discuss these risks with your doctor before the procedure. What to Expect TOPPrior to ProcedureYour doctor will ask about your medical history, medicines, and allergies. A physical exam will be done. Blood tests may also be done. Leading up to the procedure:
AnesthesiaDepending on the reason for the hysteroscopy, your doctor may use:
Description of the ProcedureA device called a speculum will be inserted into the vagina. It will hold your vagina open and allow instruments to enter easily. The doctor will clean the vagina and may dilate the cervix. The hysteroscope will then be put into the uterus through the vagina and dilated cervix. The uterus will be filled with carbon dioxide gas or a liquid. This will cause the uterus to inflate, allowing the doctor to get a closer, clear look at the uterine walls. If you are having the procedure done for diagnostic reasons, the doctor will examine the uterus for abnormal tissue. A biopsy may be taken. Or, the uterine walls may be swabbed to get cell samples. If you are having the procedure done for therapeutic reasons, the doctor may insert small surgical tools through the hysteroscope. The doctor will use the tools to remove diseased tissue and make repairs. In some cases, the doctor will use another viewing tube called a laparoscope. It will be passed into the abdomen. This allows the doctor to monitor the outside of the uterus and detect any possible perforation of the uterus by the hysteroscope. How Long Will It Take?About 15-45 minutes (or longer for therapeutic procedure) How Much Will It Hurt?You will have mild cramping and soreness. Ask your doctor about pain medicine. Post-procedure CareWhen you return home after the procedure, do the following to help ensure a smooth recovery:
Call Your Doctor TOPAfter arriving home, contact your doctor if any of the following occurs:
In case of an emergency, call for medical help right away.

All month long I'll be presenting Creepy Moments, just short bits from horror films, or otherwise, that I find eerily effective. The first comes from Carnival of Souls (d. Herk Harvey, 1962). I've cut it off right after the change occurs because it is the moment of the change that I find so effective. One second the sounds of everyday life surround her. The next... silence.

Looking through my selections for this month's Creepy Moments I realize almost none are achieve using any kind of special effect. Rather, they're achieve through sound, atmosphere and acting. You're right, it really doesn't take much, a lesson many modern filmmakers could stand to learn.

What happened to your Halloween names? Did you two already give up on that?
Also, this is a good movie. - October 2, 2009 at 11:12 AM
- Baron Von Greggenstein said...
I didn't give up, I just thought it was understood that "Greg" is a very creepy name.
Also, yes, this is a good movie. I love the shots at the old Saltair Pavillion. Wish it was still there, I'd make a pilgrimage to see it. - October 2, 2009 at 11:19 AM
- bill r. said...
If I remember correctly, Herk Harvey saw that pavilion and thought, "Hey, I should make a movie that uses that." And off he went.
It's a little more complicated than that, probably, but I still think that's an interestingly ass-backwards way to go about it. - October 2, 2009 at 11:22 AM
- Bob Turnbull said...
I think I'm gonna like this series...
Total agreement regarding how little it takes to be effectively creepy. Sound is so key, in particular the absence of it or the sudden dropping out of ambient noise. I love how Kiyoshi Kurosawa uses sound as well (or the lack of it sometimes).
Here's a post I made for the Kurosawa (Kiyoshi) Blog-a-thon last year that shows 3 scenes from his films that all use sound very subtlely. Japanese directors seem to have a great feeling for this (Teshigahara, Shimizu's "Ju-On: The Grudge" films, etc.).
I love me some creepy. - October 2, 2009 at 11:35 AM
- Greg said...
Bill, that is pretty much the story. I often see things and am inspired to make a movie around them but don't have multiple cameras, actors, budget, etc. so I don't. But oh the films I've made in my head.
- October 2, 2009 at 11:46 AM
- Greg said...
Bob those scenes are great! I especially love the one in the restaurant. I'd seen these before (probably on your post) but still haven't actually seen the movies. But it does take so little. For instance, in the restaurant scene the final shot using special effects is the least effective for me. The two most effective are the ghosts appearance in the booth and then, especially, when she slowly rises up behind the waitress. Great stuff.

Did anybody else feel a bit of disappointment that that mannish floorwalker didn't go into the dressing room with Mary Henry and help her slip out of that dress as her eager hands insinuated themselves under the fabric of Mary's slip and cupped her ample breasts, squeezing ever so slightly Mary's nipples, causing them to harden and Mary to elicit a barely audible groan?

I got skeered the moment she walked into the dressing booth..I thought the dangling price tags or the other dress might try to strangle her

Of course I got the movie! I got two versions of it on the shelf right here.

So yeah... that wasn't too convincing but anyway, for everyone else who doesn't know that's Melissa the vengeful girl ghost of Mario Bava's multi-titled Kill Baby Kill. Get it? See the words in the banner are lyrics from the Allman Brothers' Melissa. God I'm good at this! I'm like some kind of a benevolent banner God!

- Christopher said...
oh yeah..Kill Baby Kill may be my fave Bava horror next to Black Sabbath..or is it Planet of the Vampires? or Whip and the Body?..Blood and Black Lace?..anyway..Kill Baby Kill was my favorite last year..and may still be..love the link up to Melissa.."knowing many loving none,bearing sorrow having fun,but back home he'll always ruuuuun....
- October 2, 2009 at 10:31 PM

Next year I need to concentrate on more Bava. I just watched Kill Baby Kill and that will probably be my choice for the Italian Horror Blog-a-thon that Kevin will be hosting soon.

I used a different window shot from Kill, Baby... Kill in my "Look through any window" photo collection a while back. I was tempted to use the one of Melissa Graps but there is so much captivating imagery in that film (and any film by Bava) that I wanted to pick something more obscure.

It has such a great look and feel to it. Right now my wife and I are entering a 60's horror phase that happens every few years. For a few years it will be all about classic thirties stuff, then, for me not her, modern era stuff and then, now, we just can't get enough 60's horror with all the colors and false lighting and leisurely pacing that builds on itself. Hammer movies, Bava movies, Corman movies, etc. etc. etc.

Going back to Carnival of Souls... It bothers me that some people fob this off so readily as "cheesy low budget horror" because the movie is so remarkably sensual - not in a Showtime After Dark, ice cube on the nipples, candle wax on the back way - but in a way that really does reflect a female sensibility. (I smell a meme coming up: the Horror Film as Women's Picture.) Bravo to John Clifford and/or Herk Harvey for this, especially since neither of them were industry insiders. What brilliance. Harvey saw the pavilion on a business trip (presumably), got the idea to make this movie and he made the goddamn thing and almost 50 years later it has lost none of its mesmeric power. The brilliance of that scene in the department store lies in its banality, the teasing of weirdness out of the most familiar situation.

I've seen it listed, as I'm sure you have too, as a camp classic which is galling. This isn't Mars Needs Women or Manos, the Hands of Fate! The acting and writing may not be up to the standards of your A-list production (although we all know that many times neither are they) but Harvey does remarkable things on such a low budget. When she leaves the dressing room and can only hear herself... great effect! Or at the garage later. And the Pavillion at the center of it all, especially in the first shots from a distance, as Harvey first saw it, is really mesmerizing.

This movie really needs to be grouped in with stuff like The Three Faces of Eve and The Snake Pit rather than, say, The Haunting. It's a horror movie by style, sure, but it's also a classic story of a woman struggling with her identity and her destiny.
- October 3, 2009 at 11:45 AM
- Greg said...
That's true. I suppose I knew that without ever thinking about it overtly. It is the story of a woman struggling with her identity and destiny, not accepting her lot in "life" but not knowing what alternative she would prefer. Even in the opening drag race scene, especially given what we see of her character throughout the movie, she doesn't really belong. Why is this introspective woman in that car with those juvenile behaving dullards?

If you're having a hard time figuring out what to do for Restaurant Week, I recommend checking out Sascha's. Although parking isn't ideal, there's a lot across the street or meters along Charles and Centre. The food is fantastic and served in smaller portions to accommodation the multi-course meal for Restaurant Week. I recommend doing the wine pairing because they all taste amazing. Also be sure to book a table in advance or you'll be waiting 45 min - 1 hr for a table.
Great experience - wonderful food and service. We will be back soon.
Overall experience was great. Service was good but not excellent. Food was five star. I had the bison brisket, which was incredible. Everyone in my party was happy with their food. One member of our party had a special request and the kitchen was very accommodating, allowing us to essentially create our own menu item. Cheese plate was generous and tasty, pumpkin ravioli was delicious, but a smidge cold (not sure if it was supposed to be served lukewarm?). The wine lost had an extensive number of wines by the glass for reasonable prices, and the red zin I had was delicious. We live in the neighborhood and had never been. So happy we tried it! Overall, excellent experience, from start to finish.
Sacha's has a really cool vibe, excellent food & wine. Wish we lived closer so we could go more often. Our server was fun & so patient with one of our party who is a really picky eater.
I really liked the ambiance of the restaurant. The service was OK as was the food. I had prime rib, which was really good, but the potatoes were extremely salty.
we enjoyed our dinner.. Service was good and food was good too..my only criticisms are: the soup trio was not that great. The mushroom soup was the only one we liked. And the tacos were too spicy for me, but not my partner. The beinnets were amazing and my cocktail of the menu was also very good. And the calamari was okay. It was a little dark for my taste, but my partner found it pleasing.
The noise level is too loud! It is good for a BAD date but otherwise, difficult for good conversation. This should be corrected, especially since it is by the Peabody where sound, music and acoustics are a must!Waitress was overly busy which meant that she could not be allowed to show the customers the proper level of politeness.....it was not her fault....she was overworked!
Sascha's food was over the top. Ambiance great as well as service. Cocktails very expensive.
Share the tapas with friends. Highly recommend the crab sliders and the fried green tomato salad!!
Sat at the bar...had the calamari, chicken tacos and Signature burger with cucumber martinis. Excellent !
The food & service was great. We went on Saturday night. It was all great!
Two of us enjoyed a dinner at Sasha's from the small plates menu. All of our choices, including crab cakes and bison sliders, were nicely prepared and presented. Service was attentive and friendly.
Fun atmosphere, quiet tables even though the tables are close together. You never felt like one table was on top of another. The funky breadstick and olive/pickle offering was delish. Signature drinks were tasty and the taste plate meals were exceptional. The crab beignets were out of this world!
I took my mom here for a pre-mother's day dinner. She loved her meal -- scallops. Everything we had was excellent. The cocktails, the appetizer, meal and the free carrot cake we got from the super nice server! She had forgotten to put in a refresh on my cocktail and brought the cake unprompted. It wasn't really necessary but I think that's pretty awesome customer service. I will definitely be back!
Delicious food, wonderful service, and nice atmosphere. Small plates were fresh & flavorful, favorites included the pork carnitas tacos, the cheese plate, and pea ravioli. The drinks were interesting with fresh ingredients - I recommend the cucumber martini and The Bark. Ruby, our sassy waitress, was there at the right time to keep our relaxing meal moving along. A real gem!
We were visiting from Philadelphia and wanted to try someplace nice in an interesting neighborhood. Sascha's fit the bill perfectly. The service was excellent--our waiter was friendly and knowledgeable, but didn't intrude. All of the staff anticipated our needs well, but didn't hover. The scallops and filet were both excellent. Portions were just right. During our visit, a collection of strikingly beautiful masks of famous musicians hung on the walls, imparting a dynamic energy to the place. The overall vibe was professional but friendly and casual. We recommend highly.
Excellent food, great service, good value. Love Sascha's
After driving past this restaurant numerous times going to and from work, finally decided to give it a try during Baltimore City's Restaurant Week Summer 2013. The decor was eclectic - the hostess and our server were extremely friendly and attentive. The food was delicious - I had the shrimp and grits appetizer, filet mignon w/salad and the chocolate mousse cake. My husband had the short rib appetizer, pork chop and carrot cake. While the taste of all the dishes was very good, the only issue we had was that all of the served dishes were lukewarm when we received them. It didn't really detract from the flavor but towards the end of our eating each dish the food was basically cold. Other than that, we really enjoyed our experience.
My wife and I are in town staying in Mount Vernon when a bartender suggests we try Sacha's. Best tip ever! The atmospheres was wonderful, the staff was attentive and the food was fantastic!! The filet was melt in your mouth! I would definitely go back again.
Love the ingenuity of Sascha's menu and the funky interior. Went during Restaurant Week, but look more forward to returning during regular times. Very friendly staff.
My whole party really enjoyed everything we had. I recommend Sasha's to anyone who is looking for a quality dining experience at a reasonable price.
Great, creative food; attentive service; accommodated our large group.
Sascha's never fails to offer excellent exquisite dining.
We were greeted immediately and the recommendations as well as the service was very good ... The waiter mixed up our filet orders -- but not a problem -- we switched!!! The desserts were also very good -- I had Carmel custard -- loved it! Excellent wine pairing for the meat ... TY
Sascha's provided a very nice dining experience. Sascha personally thanked us for coming and said she appreciated our business. The staff and the owner were warm , engaging, and accomodating. The ambience was warm and cozy. Thew cocktails at $11-$14.00 were a little over priced. The appetizers were decent the shrimp and grits was bland. Our meals 3 of our party ordered the filet mingion, and one the salmon, were small portions, but cooked to perfection.
Sasha's is one of my absolute favorite places to eat in Mount Vernon. Not only is this place a wonderful staple to the neighborhood. But the food and atmosphere is phenomenal. I have yet to try a dish I don't like.
Filet mignon & pan seared scallops were excellent! We were there for Baltimore Restaurant Week and this restaurant went above and beyond to provide us with a wonderful dinner experience. Especially given the fact it was only $30.13 per person for a 3-course dinner. GREAT restaurant...on a scale of 1 to 10, I'd give it a 20!!!
Last Saturday night, I dined at Sascha's. From the beginning to end, it was my kind of dining experience: the wait staffer greeted me at the door, then introduced me to the hostess who asked where I would like to be seated. The waitress was prompt with menu, water, bread sticks, etc. She was very helpful in explaining the appetizers, entrees, and desserts. The three flavorful courses arrived without much wait between them, succulent, well-cooked, and hot. I would and do recommend this restaurant to all who listen.
The hostess and wait staff could not have been nicer! Our waitress was extremely attentive and friendly. And the food was also amazing! My boyfriend and I started out with the crab cake croquettes as an appetizer ("tasting plate") and they were delicious! For the high quality of the food we were served, the price was definitely reasonable. I highly recommend this restaurant and will definitely be back :)
Sascha's is truly a gem. Every time we have gone there we have really enjoyed our meal. From the warm welcoming from the hostess Angie, the great preparation of the food to the fond farewell from our waitress Beth, this is what dining is all about. That's why it tops our list as our favorite place to dine. Now, if they would only bring back jazz that would be perfect. I'm still loving my Felicia Carter cd that I purchased years ago. Going again very soon.
I don't know why this place doesn't get more notoriety. This was our second time dining here and it was fabulous both times. Great food!
Great food, especially your grits (and shrimp). The interior feels , as the British say, "A Bit Soggy" and in need of a makeover. I used to have go to Sascha's quite a bit 6 or 8 years ago and it felt more vital...just needs a little re-invention.
Had an out of town friend stop by to visit and after some conversation and drinks we all wanted to grab a bite to eat. So we went to Sascha's and again, we were not disappointed. Again, we were greeted with a welcoming recognition and smile from Angie and great service Beth. I couldn't believe it when she remembered the food and drinks that we got last time. She is one dynamic individual, a true gem. Anyway, another great meal, this time crab cakes followed by a healthy slice of the best carrot cake in Baltimore. Very moist and flavorful!
Never disappointed here. Food is interesting and well prepared
The food is always interesting, excellent, and nicely presented. They always have great wines by the glass and carefully crafted cocktails. Service is warm, personal, and professional without exception.
Had a great time. Food was excellent. The weather was perfect so we decided to sit outside on the patio. The only thing that could improve the experience was if the patio furniture wasn't so bad. They looked great but completely did not function well with the stonework. The waitstaff was great and attentive.
Fantastic Wine list, something for everyone. The tapas plates were all creative and delicious: I had a fried caprese salad, friend had mussels (delish), and friend had steak and eggs over noodles. Art work, lighting and music were all perfect for an evening out with friends, but the lavish colors and chandeliers would lend to a romantic night as well. This might not be important to everyone, but they had really comfortable chairs at the bar :)
We had dinner at Sascha's before going to Center Stage, and we were very pleasantly surprised by it. We were early and didn't want to be rushed through dinner, and our waitress was very accommodating, pleasant, and efficient, even though she seemed to be the only server on the floor. The food was very, very good. We had nice salads, with a very light vinaigrette. My partner had rockfish, which was cooked perfectly and delicious. I had the chicken, which was very flavorful [I rarely order chicken because it is usually too bland], and the acorn squash that went with it was amazing. Nice crème brulee and great coffee to finish. We would definitely go back!
Had a great time at the bar even though we had a table waiting for us. Chatted up the bar tender and sample some of the tasting plates. It was a great
We thoroughly enjoyed our evening out at Sascha's. The decor, featuring framed artwork on the walls and a crystal chandelier, is funky and romantic at the same time. Whle the dried cherries in my rocket salad were a bit tart for my taste, my husband enjoyed his house salad. The rockfish, served on a bed of baby spinach and quinoa with a lemon vinaigrette, was excellent, and pork ossobucco with roast onions, orange sections and rice was delicious and filling. The service was prompt and attentive (although I'm not sure why our remaining bread stick was whisked away before the entree came out). All in all, a lovely dining experience.
My title says it all!!! I have been to Sascha's so many time and can't help but continue going!!! Love, LovE, LOVE the food and the environment...
The new bartender at Sascha's has created a great list of cocktails and each beverage is seasonal and unique. The food was wonderful too!
I've been here a number of times now and the food is always very good. They were offering the regular menu and a $35 prix fixed menu. I ordered the latter with calamari, duck and the choc tart for dessert. All were delicious. What is consistent is that Sascha's always wants your experience to be good and is willing to go out of their way to make that happen. This time, they ran out of the oyster pot pie app and offered me a choice of any of their regular apps. Classy move! I also love this place for their well made cocktails. Never disappointed.
The decor and ambiance are very appealing and the wait staff are great. Cocktail list is creative but also plenty of reasonable, good wines. Mental salad is our favorate, too big for one person but split between 2 (or more) people makes an excellent starter. Shrimp and grits are divine. Pared with the salad, these 2 dishes are plenty as a complete meal, with room enough for dessert. Main courses are less exciting but are well-prepared. Overall, a very pleasant dining experience. Seems more like a neighborhood favorite you return to frequently but can also be good for a romantic date.
Great place for a date. Whether it is a first or an anniversary, this is a good place to stop at.
Although we had an excellent time the chef was a bit off his game. My wifes Osso Buco with rissotto was a bit bland. My filet was good and the potatoes gratin were superb. Caramel pudding dessert was also excellent. Our server Beth is always top notch.

Side Mount Escapes – Escapes from Yoko Shiho Gatame and Kuzure Yoko Shiho Gatame
Friday, November 13th, 2009Last Friday, Dave had the class practice escapes from Yoko Shiho and Kuzure Yoko Shiho Gatame (kuzure means variation), the side four quarter ground lock or hold.
One major beef of mine is with fighters who get pinned on their backs – deliberately or in error – and can't get out. They will get pounded, elbowed, and basically, clobbered. In the years since the first UFC with the introduction of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, we have had so many fighters lay on their backs and try to win from there. It was far worse the first few years when everyone followed the Gracies' techniques to the letter, especially pulling guard. Since MMA fights tend not to have gis, pulling guard with the objective of sleeve chokes isn't too practical. Pulling guard, being on the bottom, is not something to aim for: In BJJ rules, there are limited ways to gain points from that position, so you really want to get out of there. If you are there, through happenstance or deliberately, you want to get out from under your opponent. If nothing else, he can use gravity against you – he can lift his head and torso and just drop arms, hands, shoulders, and elbows on your head. If he is a strong ground and pound guy, and you are on the bottom, you may well be toast.
I know some of you love the guard, love crossing your ankles and holding the guy. You think you're in control. In fact, the guy on top has the superior position and that's where you want to be. If you're on the bottom, in a BJJ match, get some points by sweeping your opponent and get out of there. Switch positions.
Dave Here - Note that you get points for getting OUT of guard, not for getting into guard. Just that alone should tell you that it is not the desired position. If one of the major objectives of your guard work is to achieve a sweep and get on top, then, logically, it is much better to just start on top in the first place!
Scenario: Your opponent has passed your guard and is in side mount: Practice the escapes from yoko shiho gatame and kuzure yoko shiho gatame. Chances are that the side control will be a kuzure (or variation), but the escape is similar for each variation. In judo, of course, we see the traditional and kuzure yoko shiho gatame as well.Click here to go to two escapes from yoko shiho gatame. Click here to go to escape from kuzure yoko shiho gatame.
Depending on how you learn, you may pick these up quickly and be proficient immediately. Others, such as I, may take a while to learn the new techniques, to incorporate them into muscle memory.
Crucial points for these escapes: For Yoko Shiho Gatame escapes, trap your opponent's arm between your legs; move your body, not his, to lengthen and break his grip; facilitate the roll by pushing his head under your back (prevents him from posting with his forehead and also protects his head and neck). For Kuzure Yoko Shiho Gatame escapes, move onto your side and go under your opponent (this enables more of his mass to be on your center of gravity, making it easier to turn him); again, facilitate the roll and protect his head and neck by pushing his head under your back; if he has an arm behind your neck, trap his arm by pushing onto it with your own neck.
Practice these escapes with a partner, back and forth. You will get into slightly different positions each time, going from the escape to your own ground hold.

From our sister site: FireRECRUITER.com
What started out as a vision for a successful joint recruitment project has morphed into a passion to connect firefighters and soldiers of all stripes.
Based on the concept that we're looking for the same people — and we are the same people, I created a joint recruitment project between our county's volunteer fire service and the NY National Guard.
If you think about Guardsmen, Soldiers and every other appropriate title given to those who serve in all the branches of the US Military, they can be ideal candidates to recruit into the volunteer fire service. They already understand discipline, respect, teamwork and the chain-of-command — and they certainly get the whole "brotherhood" thing! As many have shared about this idea, "it's a no-brainer!"
