Historical Soviet Daily Snow Depth (HSDSD), Version 2
The Historical Soviet Daily Snow Depth Version 2 (HSDSD) product on CD-ROM updates and replaces HSDSD Version 1. The new version contains an additional ten years of data, improved data quality control, an HTML interface, and a Java tool for data browsing and extraction. Data now span from 1881 (for the earliest operational stations) through 1995. Other parameters include snow cover percent, snow characteristics, site characterization, and quality flags. Data are in ASCII format. The HSDSD product is based on observations from 284 World Meteorological Organization (WMO) stations throughout Russia and the former Soviet Union. The area covered is 35 to 75 degrees north latitude and 20 to 180 degrees east longitude. The State Hydrometeorological Service in Obninsk, Russia, sent the data to NSIDC through the bilateral US-USSR Working Group Eight data exchange program. The development of this data product was funded through NOAA's Environmental Services Data and Information Management (ESDIM) program, and through the support of the NOAA/NESDIS National Geophysical Data Center. Data are available on one CD-ROM available for download via FTP. View Metadata RecordData CitationThe following example shows how to cite the use of this data set in a publication.

-- Nearly 9 in 10 (87%) winter holiday gift givers surveyed found out after purchasing a gift that they could have paid less—a classic trigger for experiencing Deal Envy
-- More than 9 in 10 (91%) respondents reported that they have overspent on a holiday gift for someone
-- More than 4 in 5 (85%) holiday shoppers indicated that they plan to actively search for coupons and deals to save money on gifts this year
-- More than a quarter of respondents (26%) set a budget and went over it last year
AUSTIN, Texas, Oct. 2, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- RetailMeNot (www.retailmenot.com), the largest digital coupon website in the United States, today released research indicating that consumers experience emotional turmoil when they realize they could have found a better deal on an item and paid less for it. In a special report, available here, RetailMeNot examines this widespread phenomenon and tackles the rise of this new retail psychological issue facing nearly 9 in 10 U.S. residents: Deal Envy.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130704/DA42607LOGO)
"For the upcoming holiday shopping season, RetailMeNot is making it a priority to stop Deal Envy nationwide," said Jill Balis, senior vice president of marketing for RetailMeNot, Inc. "Our mission is to provide shoppers with the tools they need to find the best deals so they can buy all the gifts they want for the holidays-and even something for themselves-without blowing their budgets. The holidays should be fun and festive, not plagued by Deal Envy."
By the numbers: Anxious budget busters
In 2013, 90% of respondents indicated that they intend to shop for winter holiday gifts and plan to spend an average of $167 per person. The high cost spent per person on gifts is worrisome when you consider that more than a quarter (26%) of shoppers surveyed this year indicated last year that they set a budget and went over it. According to the report, exceeding a holiday budget sparks symptoms of Deal Envy, including guilt for more than a quarter (27%) of gift givers and anxiety for 1 in 5 (20%).
Even though consumers feel guilt and anxiety when breaking their budgets, nearly all (91%) winter holiday gift givers surveyed admitted to overspending on presents. Among those who said they have overspent on a winter holiday gift:
Wait, you paid how much?
For many consumers, the holiday shopping season can be taxing on the wallet, and in addition to the financial burden this creates, the report found that consumers experience guilt, anger and disappointment when they realize they could have spent less on purchases if they had searched for a discount.
It's not just big discounts that provoke emotion. Nearly 9 in 10 (88%) winter holiday gift givers indicated that they would regret overpaying for a gift if they found out they had missed out on any kind of discount for the item, and more than 3 in 5 (63%) would feel regret over missing out on a discount of less than 25%!
RetailMeNot puts a stop to Deal Envy
This holiday shopping season RetailMeNot is on a mission to put an end to the negative emotions people experience when they realize they missed out on a deal. By arming consumers across the U.S. with the tools they need to save money, feel confident in their purchases and avoid Deal Envy, RetailMeNot aims to end it.
To that end, the report found that gift givers would likely feel satisfied (50%), happy (49%), proud (38%) or victorious (28%) if they found they had paid less for a gift than others did for the same item. To help ensure shoppers never miss out on a deal again, RetailMeNot has put together the following tool kit for consumers in order to prevent Deal Envy when shopping in-store and online:
It's RetailMeNot's goal to provide consumers with the tools they need to stop Deal Envy before Black Friday (Friday, November 29) this year, so be on the lookout for events at select shopping malls across the nation during the Stop Deal Envy Weekend, taking place November 23 and 24.
Report Methodology:
This report was conducted between August 29 and September 4, 2013, among 1,006 U.S. residents ages 18 and over, using an email invitation and an online report. Results of any sample are subject to sampling variation. The magnitude of the variation is measurable and is affected by the number of interviews and the level of the percentages expressing the results. In this particular study, the chances are 95 in 100 that a report result does not vary, plus or minus, by more than 3.1 percentage points from the result that would be obtained if interviews had been conducted with all persons in the universe represented by the sample. The margin of error for any subgroups will be slightly higher.

KLC College organized a Golf Tournament on August 18th at the Inverary Golf and Country Club, near Kingston, Ontario. Tickets were sold for a reasonable price, and $2,100 was raised for Multiple Sclerosis.
A total of 66 participants made the shotgun tournament a success, and the surplus of sponsors meant prizes were handed out to most of the participants. The event was such a success that KLC College already has its eye on raising more money next year!

By Venita Jenkins Staff writer
The commanding general of the 82nd Airborne Division described the future military as one that adapts to changing times and a reduction of forces.
Major Gen. John W. Nicholson Jr. made remarks during the U.S. Army ROTC Commissioning Ceremony on Friday at Fayetteville State University.
Ten cadets received the rank of second lieutenant during the ceremony.
"Not only are you joining the Army that's at war, you are joining an Army that is getting smaller," Nicholson told the cadets. "Our military, in the future, has to be agile and adaptive. It's going to be ever-changing. Even though we have built a tremendous amount of experience at wartime, we are moving into new areas that we have never gone before."
Nicholson told the cadets who have deployed not to be limited by their combat experience.
"The challenges you are going to face is going to require you to use what you have learned intellectually, because you will be dealing with new conditions, new places and new threats," he said. "Your educational experience at Fayetteville State is going to be just as important in your military training."
Less than 1 percent of the nation's population wears the uniform and is "in the fight," Nicholson said.
"You are joining their ranks," he continued. "The lifestyle you will lead as an Army officer is not going to be easy. There are going to be challenging days, long nights, and many months or maybe years away from your family. It is a profession where your service doesn't end when you leave at night."
The Fayetteville State University ROTC program is a part of the Campbell Battalion, which consists of FSU, Campbell University, Methodist University and the University of North Carolina at Pembroke. In 2012, the program ranked first out of 272 ROTC programs. There are 69 cadets enrolled in the program, the most in FSU history.
"It is really important to the strength of our military to continue to graduate and commission officers of the caliber of these on stage," Nicholson said. "You have accomplished a tremendous amount getting to this point."
Half of the cadets will report to duty stations following the ceremony. Others will serve as officers in the Army Reserve.
Second Lt. Katrina Tolliver has served in the military for 12 years. The ROTC program has helped her develop skills to be a strong leader.
"I wanted to take some steps to enhance my career and bring a little more knowledge to the team," she said. "The main thing I feel I will take away from this is the sense of teamwork and the camaraderie."

Alex Moore has not received any gifts yet
Wow....sorry Alex, I don't check in here as often as I used to. It seems all the posts are count downs and crap like that, so it's kind of been a bit of a turn off for me. OpSec isn't being enforced like I was told it was. Oh well. I really do hope you're hanging in there though. Deployments are a true test of grit for both ends. Keep your sense of humor girl, it will be your best friend when things are getting you down. Stay in touch, I miss chatting with you.
Hi! You are?? and you're from San Leandro? lol you're so close!!
Hey Alex! ya that'd be great if we could all get together! i was just thinking the other day how i wish i had more friends in the OC that actually know what i'm going through
thankyou so much, i will indeed be talking to you. Hope to learn much from you
hi alex! nice to meet you! :)
That's for sure! I lived in Florida while Steve was in boot camp and during the first part of his school in Chicago... between plane tickets, hotels, food, and other things it was definitely expensive!! I am actually going to visit the Bay area for the first time next week, I'm so excited! This is our first base, since he's out here for training for so long I decided to move with him!
Long distance is hard whether it's military or not! Which base is he at? We are in San Diego right now, and for the rest of his training and we love it! We are hoping he'll get assigned to his permanent station out here when he's done with his training! We have been together for about a year and a half, married since December! Steve and I actually knew each other in high school (we both played lacrosse!) but never dated, and then I went away to college and he stayed. When I moved home after college we randomly met one night, and hit it off and have been together ever since! How long have you and Will been together?
Hi Alex, thanks for the add!
How is your deployment going? My husband is still in training for about another year before he gets attached to a ship so we have not gone through one yet. I am grateful for the extra time we have but also dreading it because I know it's inevitable!

pink slime? really?
Ummmmm... yeah...
(Pictures at site)
(Bold type is mine)
McDonald's drops use of gooey ammonia-based 'pink slime' in hamburger meat
By M. Alex Johnson, msnbc.com
McDonald's confirmed that it has eliminated the use of ammonium hydroxide an ingredient in fertilizers, household cleaners and some roll-your-own explosives in its hamburger meat.
The company denied that its decision was influenced by a months-long campaign by celebrity chef Jamie Oliver to get ammonium-hydroxide-treated meats like chicken and beef out of the U.S. food supply. But it acknowledged this week that it had stopped using the unappetizing pink goo made from treating otherwise inedible scrap meat with the chemical several months ago.
Besides being used as a household cleaner and in fertilizers, the compound releases flammable vapors, and with the addition of certain acids, it can be turned into ammonium nitrate, a common component in homemade bombs. It's also widely used in the food industry as an anti-microbial agent in meats and as a leavener in bread and cake products. It's regulated by the U.S. Agriculture Department, which classifies it as "generally recognized as safe."
McDonald's decision was first reported this week by the Daily Mail, a blaring British tabloid, which trumpeted it as a victory for fellow Brit Oliver against the monolithic U.S. food industry.
Oliver's campaign began in April, when he included a segment on what he called "pink slime" on his TV show, "Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution" (warning: some readers may find this video distasteful): (video at site)
The use of treated scrap meat "to me as a chef and a food lover is shocking," Oliver said. "... Basically we're taking a product that would be sold in the cheapest form for dogs and making it 'fit' for humans."
Todd Bacon, McDonald's senior supply chain officer, told the Daily Mail that the decision "was not related to any particular event, but rather to support our effort to align our global beef raw material standards."
In a statement, McDonald's clarified that it stopped using "select lean beef trimmings" its preferred term for scrap meat soaked in ammonium hydroxide and ground into a pink meatlike paste at the beginning of last year.
"This product has been out of our supply chain since August of last year," it said.
Sarah Prochaska, a registered dietitian at Barnes-Jewish Hospital in St. Louis, said that ammonium hydroxide is widely used in the U.S. food industry but that consumers may not be able to know what products include it because the USDA considers it a component in a production procedure separating scrap meat and not an ingredient that must be listed on food labels.
"It's a process, from what I understand, called 'mechanically separated meat' or 'meat product,'" Prochaska told NBC station KSDK of St. Louis.
While the government considers it safe, it certainly "does not look anything like ground beef," she said. And since it's not on nutrition labels , the only way to avoid it "would be to choose fresher products, cook your meat at home, cook more meals at home," she said.
But but but... they STOPPED it last August...!
Nothing like home-cooking, people...

Justin Upton to Atlanta Braves? It's been discussed
One of the teams rumored to be interested in the young D-back's services is the Atlanta Braves. You know, the same Braves team that just inked Justin's brother B.J. to a big contract.
So, could there be a brotherly reunion in Hotlanta?
The two have discussed it, apparently.
According to Braves beat writer for MLB.com Mark Bowman, the brothers Upton have thought about sharing the same outfield.
"B.J. Upton said he and his brother Justin Upton have had a few conversations about possibility of playing together in Atlanta."
And, as David O'Brien of the Atlanta Journal Constitution tweeted out, there brothers would like to make it happen.
#Braves B.J.Upton & brother Justin have strong desire to play together and hope it happens when Justin is free agent in 3yrs, if not sooner.
— David O'Brien (@ajcbraves) November 29, 2012
The D-backs are rumored to be seeking, at the very least, a young shortstop in return for Upton, and the Braves have one in Andrelton Simmons.
Atlanta was not willing to part with the 23-year-old when his name was brought up a month ago, but it's fair to wonder if that stance will change with the team's latest acquisition.

The final journey of war-weary members of the a remnant of the Republican Army in the Spanish Civil War (1936-39) is explored in this dramatic movie, based on the novel Las Buenas Intenciones by Max Aub. The six in this story are fleeing to the Mediterranean town of Alicante in Valencia, in hopes of being able to escape into exile from there. They meet plenty of war-time action along the way, and their despair at losing the war and having to flee Franco's main army is evident. ~ Clarke Fountain, Rovi

Italian horror icon Riccardo Freda directs I Spit on Your Grave star Camille Keaton in this gory shocker concerning four hippies who seek shelter from a summer storm in a seemingly-abandoned villa, only to realize that they have stumbled into a satanic sacrifice. Frightened away by the gruesome orgy of violence, the hippies waste no time in beating a hasty retreat. Things quickly go from bad to worse, however, when the innocent peaceniks are subsequently accused of committing a massacre that eclipses that of even the Tate-LaBianca murders. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Murders in the Rue Morgue
The fourth film to explore Edgar Allan Poe's classic tale, this clever adaptation takes some rather broad liberties with the source material. A flamboyant Jason Robards plays Cesar Charron, owner of a Grand Guignol theatre in 19th-century Paris, who is launching a stage adaptation of "Murders in the Rue Morgue" -- much to the dismay of his young daughter Madeleine (Christine Kaufmann), who is tormented by nightmares filled with images from the play. A spate of gruesome murders among the theatre's regular stable of actors leads Charron to suspect the return of his deranged, disfigured former partner René Marot (Herbert Lom), who had been presumed dead after the murder of Charron's wife. Madeleine's nightmares eventually come true when Marot makes his presence known and reveals his intentions to her on the eve of the production's opening night. Director Gordon Hessler's creative handling of the dreams-vs.reality premise is rendered a bit confusing thanks to AIP's sloppy re-editing, but the overall production is still effectively chilling. ~ Cavett Binion, Rovi

Add Tristana to Queue
Add Tristana to top of Queue
Luis Buñuel's Tristana is a surreal criticism of Catholicism and the modern world, told through the story of the title character, who is portrayed by Catherine Deneuve. Tristana is a young Spanish woman left to the care of Don Lope (Fernando Rey), the protective but impoverished aristocrat. Don sells his possessions to avoid manual labor and champions the causes of the dispossessed and downtrodden of society. He takes advantage of the vulnerable Tristana, who leaves him when she falls in love with Horacio (Franco Nero). Unable to commit to him, she returns to Don Lope when she falls ill. He asks for her hand in marriage, and she accepts after losing her leg to cancer. She chooses to remain in a passionless union rather than be subject to the harsh realities of a society that refuses to change to the needs of women. Taken from the novel by celebrated author Benito Perez Galdos, the film -- wherein director Buñuel takes his usual jabs at religion and politics -- is a tribute to the author on the 50th anniversary of his death. ~ Dan Pavlides, Rovi

I Giorni Dell'Ira
This 1967 spaghetti western stars a master of that genre, Lee Van Cleef, as an aging, half-mad gunfighter. In an effort to regain his fearsome reputation, Van Cleef shoots down a local sheriff. He then finds he must deal with his young protégé Giuliano Gemma, who happened to be the sheriff's best friend. The climactic showdown finds Van Cleef facing down his former Gemma, with each man knowing the other's every move and thought. Also known as Day of Anger, this superior Italian oater was originally released as I Giorni dell'Ira. Its director was onetime Sergio-Leone-assistant Tonino Valerii. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Per Pochi Dollari Ancora
This well-paced spaghetti western from director Giorgio Ferroni deals with Southern Major Sanders (Jacques Sernas), who continues fighting the North after the conclusion of the Civil War. Former Rebel Gary Diamond (Giuliano Gemma), now a guide, leads a pair of Union soldiers to stop Sanders before he can pull off a raid on Fort Yuma. Little does Diamond know that one of the Union officers is actually Sanders' spy. More complications ensue, pairing Diamond with saloon-girl Connie Breastful (Sophie Daumier) before Sanders' plot is foiled. A rousing melodrama with a labyrinthine storyline, Ferroni's film sometimes crosses the line into silliness, but remains entertaining throughout, aided by a fine score by Ennio Morricone and Gianni Ferrio. ~ Robert Firsching, Rovi

The Franco-Italian L'Ombrellone stars Enrico Maria Salerno as a vacationing Roman engineer. He'd prefer a little peace and quiet, but his frisky wife (Sandra Milo) insists upon dragging him to party after party. At one of these Felliniesque get-togethers, Salerno notices that his wife is enjoying the attentions of a charming playboy (Jean Sorel). It's all quite innocent, but the usual complications and misunderstandings ensue. Also known as El Parasol, L'Ombrellone was released in the U.S. as Weekend Wives and Weekend Italian Style. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

By the time Sergio Leone made this film, Italians had already produced about 20 films ironically labelled "spaghetti westerns." Leone approached the genre with great love and humor. Although the plot was admittedly borrowed from Akira Kurosawa's Yojimbo (1961), Leone managed to create a work of his own that would serve as a model for many films to come. Clint Eastwood plays a cynical gunfighter who comes to a small border town and offers his services to two rivaling gangs. Neither gang is aware of his double play, and each thinks it is using him, but the stranger will outwit them both. The picture was the first installment in a cycle commonly known as the "Dollars" trilogy. Later, United Artists, who distributed it in the U.S., coined another term for it: the "Man With No Name" trilogy. While not as impressive as its follow-ups For a Few Dollars More (1965) and The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly (1966), A Fistful of Dollars contains all of Leone's eventual trademarks: taciturn characters, precise framing, extreme close-ups, and the haunting music of Ennio Morricone. Not released in the U.S. until 1967 due to copyright problems, the film was decisive in both Clint Eastwood's career and the recognition of the Italian western. ~ Yuri German, Rovi

The Running Man
Based upon a novel by Shelley Smith, The Running Man opens at the memorial service for Rex Black (Laurence Harvey), the owner of a small air transport company who is believed to have drowned in a recent glider accident. It soon turns out, however, that Black is very much alive; he faked his death as a means of getting back at the insurance company who denied an earlier claim because he was one day late in making his payment. He has enlisted the cooperation of his wife Stella (Lee Remick) in this scheme. While she waits for the insurance company to approve the claim, he disguises himself, assumes a new identity (that of Charles Erskine, a shoe salesman) and goes to wait for Stella in Spain. Once there, he meets drunken Australian millionaire Jim Jerome in a bar; when Jerome inadvertently leaves his passport at the bar, Rex confiscates it and hatches a new plan to collect on Jerome's insurance as well. In the meantime, Stella has met with insurance representative Stephen Maddox (Alan Bates), who eventually approves her claim. She journeys to Spain, but finds Rex a changed man, and isn't comfortable with either his new personality or his latest scheme. To make matters worse, Maddox shows up. Is it a coincidence or is he suspicious? The rest of the film hinges on the answer to this question, as well as what Maddox's plans are in either case. ~ Craig Butler, Rovi

The Teacher and the Miracle
A sentimental drama with religious overtones, the Italian-made Teacher and the Miracle stars Eduardo Novella as an art teacher who is devoted to his young son. The boy's sunny nature and natural talent inspires the teacher to open his own art school. But when his son is killed in an auto accident, the teacher loses his will to live. Going through the motions at his school, the teacher meets an enigmatic young urchin who restores his zest for living. Teacher discovers at the end that the boy has been sent to him by his patron saint, in order that he might fulfill his destiny of instructing aspiring young artists. Teacher and the Miracle wasn't given much of a theatrical distribution in the US in 1961, but has since become a regular feature of Christian high school weekend retreats. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

After 25 years' exile, Luis Buñuel was invited to his native Spain to direct Viridiana -- only to have the Spanish government suppress the film on the grounds of blasphemy and obscenity. Regarded by many as Buñuel's crowning achievement, the film centers on an idealistic young nun named Viridiana (Silvia Pinal). Just before taking her final vows, Viridiana is forced by her mother superior to visit her wealthy uncle Don Jaime (Fernando Rey), who has "selflessly" provided for the girl over the years. She has always considered Don Jaime an unspeakable beast, so she is surprised when he graciously welcomes her into his home. Just as graciously, he sets about to corrupt Viridiana beyond redemption -- all because the girl resembles his late wife. It is always hard to select the most outrageous scene in any Buñuel film; our candidate in Viridiana is the devastating

Calle Mayor
The Franco-Spanish Calle Mayor (aka Main Street and The Lovemaker) is an excellent showcase for the underrated and brilliant American actress Betsy Blair. In a reprise of her characterization in Marty, Blair plays Isabelle, a repressed, unmarried 35-year-old. As a cruel joke, a group of middle-aged men persuade a handsome but thick-headed hunk named Juan (Jose Suarez) to romance the reclusive Isabelle. When it becomes clear that she is hopelessly in love with him, the pangs of conscience begin exercising their prerogative on Juan. He is able to extricate himself from this awkward emotional entanglement, but the price that he and Isabelle are forced to pay is precious indeed. Calle Mayor was able to secure American bookings on the strength of the success of director Juan Antonio Bardem's previous film Death of a Cyclist. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

(Though it was funny when the geese chased my husband.)
Sometimes the past can slip through the gate, and no matter how hard you try, you can't shove it back. I've deliberately put things into books, like the time my mother threatened to swing from a chandelier (Consuming Passions) or when the town square flooded in my hometown (Crazy Ladies). I didn't try to mask the crippling grief after my daddy died; I used words as a healing force (American Pie) and prayed they would help someone else.
Teeny Templeton (Gone With a Handsomer Man) opened a locked gate, but I didn't stop her. I followed. What did she let loose? I'll never tell. But other things raced out of that gate, delightful things, like our mutual love for food and table settings.
"I cooked a tomato basil tart, red rice cakes, hoppin' John, cornbread sticks, and lemon-raspberry-basil sorbet, made by stirring chopped basil and lemon zest into store-bought raspberry ice. Ava helped me set the table in the garden with Uncle Elmer's hunting dog china."
I poured tea into brown crystal goblets, and so did Teeny. "I cut my own hair and do my own nails. I'm a drip-dry girl. I like cotton, not silk. I like plain, white dishes and don't care if they match."
"Since I was in a cooking mood, I made a corn-and-tomato salad with sweet mayonnaise dressing. I set the patio table with blue and white floral dishes, added a vase filled with hydrangeas, and called Red Butler to the garden. "
I can't speak for other authors, but when it comes to life and art, I'm a poor gatekeeper. Things creep in and out, personal hurts, events that embarrassed the beeswax out of me (but were funny later on), and people who broke my heart. Then I shut the gate. And my mouth (except when I'm filling it with cake).
Food and music always collide in my books. In fact, I am partial to songs that mention food: Brown Sugar, (Put the Lime in the) Coconut, Wild Honey, The Lemonade Song, etc.
I always come back to Jimmy Webb's song, MacArthur Park. (I'm writing about it now, in the second Teeny book.) I love the Live and At Large version--it's my most-played song on iTunes. (I can't listen to Richard Harris sing it. It's got to be Jimmy.)
Back in the early 1970s, when I was in high school, our band played this song at every football game. Maybe you remember those days. Me, I was the girl with short hair and big, owlish glasses. My ass was pretty big, too. I was always on a diet, wasn't a cheerleader, wasn't a brain. I said the wrong things, if I spoke at all, and I bit my nails. All these years later, when I hear MacArthur Park on the radio, a sweet, creamy goodness runs right through me, and I can't help but smile.
Back to Jimmy Webb. He wrote the songs that shaped a generation: By the Time I Get to Phoenix; Up, Up, and Away; The Highwayman; All I Know; Galveston, etc. A British interviewer once asked him about the origins of MacArthur Park.
"What does it mean? Was there really a girl in a yellow dress? Was she holding baby birds? Or were the birds symbolic? What about the men playing checkers? The melting cake? The color green? Why did you write this song?"
Some people say Jimmy was writing about Susan Ronstadt, Linda's sister; others say the girl with the baby bird was Jimmy's big love. Still others claim it's about first love, lost love, or some kind of messed-up, bad love. Though it could just be a cake that got ruined by a thunderstorm. This is the magic of fiction and music--a green cake can be whatever you want it to be: dessert, metaphor, or story.
Some musicians and authors will peel back the layers and show where art and truth collide. Others cannot. Maybe it's a private memory, maybe the artist doesn't wish to lift the veil, or maybe it is too painful to explain how the past ran through the tightly-locked gate, galloped off into the wild blue, and no matter how hard you tried, you could not call it back.
So how did Jimmy Webb respond?
He looked away, far-far away, and in his inimitable Oklahoma-West Texas drawl, he said, "Search me."

The Boston Celtics: Where do they go from here?
Posted on Tuesday, May 24, 2011 at 08:11 AM

- Avery Bradley's stuttering start to Boston Celtics career is no more
- New England Patriots - a case for keeping Brandon Lloyd
- Tom Brady's contract extension puts pressure on New England Patriots to perform in short-term
- Jeff Green's approach epitomizes Boston Celtics Post-Rajon Rondo
The Boston Celtics early exit from the NBA playoffs at the hands of the Miami Heat exposed them as the elder statesmen that they are. Unfortunately it was for the wrong reasons.
The Celtics were outrun and outmuscled as the more athletic and younger team ran riot. The Heat won the series in only five games and while most games were close and the injury to Rajon Rondo may have cost them a chance at making a comeback, the signs were still there for a team that was well past its prime.
In the past four seasons the Celtics have been champions of the NBA and runners up of the Finals. The Celtics were the original team with a 'big three' but now must pass on the title to the team that beat them.
The Heat relied heavily on Dwayne Wade and Lebron James to knock the Celtics off their perch while Chris Bosh has come alive in the Chicago series.
The Chicago Bulls younger team has put up a much better fight against the Heat than the Celtics ever did.
The Bulls have defended the Heat very well holding the team to an average of 87.6 points per game. The reason this reflects poorly on the Celtics is the fact that the Bulls are led by former Celtics assistant coach Tom Thibodeau.
Thibodeau was renowned in Boston as a defensive genius. Both teams use his style of defense however Tibbs' current team executed to a much higher degree. The Celtics couldn't matchup to the Heat's youth and athleticism no matter the system.
The Celtics were blown up midseason by the now infamous Kendrick Perkins trade. The trade destroyed the team's chemistry as both he and Nate Robinson left for Oklahoma City. It appeared to be an inexplicable decision with the only possible explanation being that the team got a good youngster with potential.
Jeff Green was that youngster. Green, and Nenad Krstic who also was part of the trade, was solid if unspectacular in Boston coming off the bench. Green's development is going to be an important benchmark for the Celtic's future. The Celtics will look for Green and Rondo to become their future guards.
Both players are 24 years of age but have vastly contrasting experiences in the league. Rondo is a proven all star performer with franchise records for assists already achieved in his four year career. Whereas Green has been a complementary starter with the Oklahoma City Thunder for the majority of his four year career.
The Celtics were unable to win one more championship relying on the Big Three. Celtics Head Coach Doc Rivers, who recently signed a five year contract to cement his place courtside with the team, has not given up on the trio altogether however telling ESPN, "We're not going to win it just relying on the Big Three anymore, we just can't."
This will point to reduced roles for some, if not all, of Ray Allen, Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett. There has already been some talk amongst the media in the USA that Paul Pierce could have a role off the bench next season in order to move Jeff Green into the starting lineup. However the most likely player to drop to the role of sixth man is Kevin Garnett.
Garnett had a major knee injury two seasons ago and is 35 years old. His performances wained somewhat this season in the playoffs as he couldn't put together back to back good performances on a consistent basis.
This is somewhat worrying for a team that already has question marks about its inside game after the Kendrick Perkins trade.
They are all but set outside as Rondo leads a top quality unit. The team should re-sign Delonte West as his outside shooting and ability to run the defense gave the team a presence from the bench. Once they do that they will have a group of Rajon Rondo, Ray Allen, Paul Pierce, Jeff Green, Delonte West and Von Wafer returning.
Of the six players the Celtics might want an improvement over Von Wafer and don't rule out a move to try to return Tony Allen to the club. Allen's reputation has risen after a great defensive showing in the playoffs but with Rudy Gay returning in Memphis he could become expendable once again.
Paul Pierce and Ray Allen can still offer the Celtics a lot even in reduced roles.
Pierce became the franchise's third leading scorer this past season, while Ray Allen broke Reggie Miller's three point record this season.
That leaves us with Kevin Garnett.
Garnett has been one of the most dominant shooting big men in the game over the past decade. He was the league MVP of the 2004 season while winning 14 all star selections. Garnett was an all star last season but is no longer anywhere close to being an MVP candidate.
According to ESPN, Garnett is still being paid like an MVP candidate. Garnett made over $18 million last season. He did not play to that level. His inconsistency in the playoffs pointed out that it was time to move on from the future hall of famer.
The Celtics need to mirror the Dallas Mavericks who have had success with old players on the roster by lengthening their rotation. The Mavericks have nine players capable of giving them starter contribution.
The Mavericks have fantastic shooters in Dirk Nowitzki, Jason Terry and Peja Stoijakovic. They flourish with Jason Kidd at point guard who, while being a future hall of famer, is at the very end of his career.
If the Celtics can surround Rajon Rondo with five to six shooters and better overall role players then he will get them the ball. This is a winning formula for the Celtics.
Their own free agents will be on the agenda initially.
Guys like Carlos Arroyo, Troy Murphy, Aleksander Pavlovic and Nenad Krstic won't likely return or even be considered.
The team will have an interesting decisions to make about Glen Davis. He is only 25 years of age but didn't have a stellar season. His struggles late in the season could be attributed to Nate Robinson's departure for Oklahoma City with Kendrick Perkins.
This was Davis' first season with substantial minutes after an impressive playoff campaign last year. The Celtics will need to determine whether he is able to play a substantial role with the team or if they are better to let him go.
None of the players hitting free agency from the Celtics can return to fix their biggest problem at center. Shaquille O'Neal is all but retired while Jermaine O'Neal is a great player to bring off the bench but not a true starter.
There is no doubting the marquee free agent center this offseason.
Tyson Chandler will become a free agent after this season. Chandler has been a solid player for the Mavericks protecting the paint while averaging close to a double double. Chandler would give the team the stability at center that was lost with the Kendrick Perkins trade. At 28 years of age he still has plenty of years left in his career.
If the Celtics can reduce Garnett's salary and add a big name such as Chandler in free agency that would give them a solid base for their perimeter players to work from.
It is unrealistic to think that they could pick up a big man to replace Kevin Garnett in the draft but adding another youngster to the rotation such as Jordan Williams would give them fresher legs to work with.
Realistically the team will have to play with Garnett for at least another season. It will be too difficult to bring back another quality starter in the trade market because of Garnett's salary, age and recent performances.
Nonetheless the Celtics definitely do not need to be blown up in the way that many fans and media are calling for the Los Angeles Lakers to be.
It will be an intriguing off season in Boston, but the pieces for future success are there for all to see. It's a matter of reloading rather than rebuilding.

The Boston Celtics were formed from Irish pride. Massachusetts, according to Irish Central, is 24% Irish. The country is 12% The sociological implications are awesome. There was massive busing in Boston which "broke" the public schools. Obama is in Ireland "conning" the locals. Meanwhile, back home in Massachusetts, Caroline Kennedy is ostracized. The Boston Archdiocese is fawning over the administration "jockeying" for bucks for their schools to replace that lost through the abuse scandal. In return, it appears that they are selling their souls through Bryan Hehir to accept an Americn version of Christianity.

Forget the Celtics. Let's talk about the Bruins. One game away from the Stanley Cup finals.
The hockey playoffs are much better to watch on TV than the basketball. Less time outs, nore of the boring "defense" chant. And lots of action.

NHSA's annual Parent Conference and Family Engagement Institutes is the only national event to provide training and educational opportunities focusing on how parents, families and Head Start program staff can work together to promote parent and family engagement and children's learning and development.
Find out moreOn December 9th, national health experts will gather to share unique approaches to the challenge of moving from obesity to wellness with Head Start parents and staff.
By pulling all of these experts together in one day of panels, presentations, and demonstrations, the Head Start Health Institute on Weight and Wellness offers a great opportunity to take on health issues in your program from multiple angles. You will take home diagnostic assessments, curricula, and other resources that can be implemented right away, and you will learn best practices, hear success stories, and have an opportunity to network with others in the field.
Head Start has been a national commitment to comprehensive services for poor children since 1965, but the deep cuts caused by sequestration are closing that window of opportunity. Head Start, Early Head Start and Migrant/Seasonal Head Start programs have had flexibility to implement the 5.27% cut - which amounts to nearly $405,000,000 nationally - but all programs were faced with very difficult decisions about cutting services to children, families, and communities.
NHSA has partnered with the Children's Museum of Manhattan and NIH to bring Head Start programs an innovative new curriculum to combat obesity, Eat Play Grow. This curriculum combines the latest science and research from the NIH with CMOM's holistic arts and literacy-based pedagogy to engage families and adults who work with young children with creative programs and consistent health messages in informal and formal learning environments. Find out more! |
If you are an alum or your child attended Head Start, join us in a national campaign to encourage all former Head Start children and parents to identify themselves.
