The Walking Dead
The Walking Dead Season 4: Where's Daryl Dixon?!
Are you feeling Daryl Dixon (Norman Reedus) withdrawal during The Walking Dead Season 4? It's bad enough that it's winter and there's not enough sun. Now there's not enough Daryl, too. The struggle is real.
There were already two full episodes in the first half of the season without any Team Prison peeps, including Daryl. Then we had that amazing midseason finale, with a decent amount of Daryl time, considering everything else going on. Then we suffered through that two month break until Season 4 returned with ... no Daryl in Episode 9. This past week's Episode 10 had a good Daryl focus … for about 10 minutes, then he disappeared. And now AMC's promos and sneak peeks for Episode 11 suggest we may be going Daryl-free again this Sunday.
What gives?
The Walking Dead isn't The Daryl Show, but he is a very popular character and it's a little surprising to see him held back so much. We know Daryl is getting a major focus in an upcoming episode that Andrew Lincoln (Rick Grimes) called "magnificent," but how much of this season are we going to spend with newbies and peripheral characters and sad, scary kids who make us re-appreciate our own childhoods?
Do you think Season 4 could use more Daryl action or are you happy just to know he'll have his big day in the sun later on? Are you glad that The Powers That Be decided to spread the air time wealth to multiple characters so we get to know all of them a bit better? It's not like Daryl is the only character we care about — and TWD is a democracy, not a Dixtatorship, so we can't expect him to dominate everything. (That's why he and Merle should get their own spinoff show!)
How do you feel about the percentage of Daryl time so far this season? Frustrated? Hopeful? Content? Pretend you're Beth Greene (Emily Kinney) writing to her prison journal and share your feelings in the comments section below!
The Walking Dead Season 4 airs Sundays at 9 p.m. ET on AMC.

That which doesn't kill you, reminds us that there are limits to one's foolishness.

Other. Please explain. Be brief.
That which doesn't kill you, reminds us that there are limits to one's foolishness.
Most "experienced" people have stories of survival.
We are an empire. Use it wisely.
That which does not kill you...
...could've been a lot more exciting had you flirted with death while pulling it off.
I'd rather ride 100 miles in 60 degree weather, but if 100 degrees is what you got, goodonya for getting out there. In any case, riding in those conditions beats the stuffing out of running in 90 degree weather.
Only mad dogs, Englishmen, and triathletes go out in the mid day sun.
That which does not kill you...
Isn't true Hookers and Blow.
Yes, you experience adaptation. If you hydrate and recover appropriately, you get both the training adapatation, as well as adapting/adjusting/whatever to the heat so it will be easier next time. We do rides like that every weekend here in Phoenix, but likely with a drier heat than you experienced.
"If you're riding less than 18 MPH up a 2% grade please tell people Coggan is coaching you."
That which doesn't kill you could still be a tactical mistake. In 100 degree weather I'd personally opt for a terrace and and a pitcher of sangria so I could watch other cyclists going by (preferably with a really high average speed). Evenings are cooler and better suited for 60km adventures.
That which doesn't kill you makes you stronger, and that which does kill you wasn't really a very good idea anyway.

When people think of modern show skating they immediately conjure up images that include the hottest skaters of the day, glitzy lighting and big tricks. If you're lucky, a tour breezes into your town, hands you two hours of jam-packed sensory overload and that's it until next year.
What often gets lost in all of that is the purity of skating. Big names fresh off an Olympic year will come and go, but it's the soul-splitting love of the ice that makes a skater stick around for the long haul.
Forget about a jumping competition connected by arm movements and crossovers, what Ice Theatre of New York (ITNY) presents is a fusion of dance and skating. It's all about movement, and that is what keeps the audiences returning each season.

Applied Biosystems and MDS Sciex launched a new software development initiative to improve the abilities of pharmaceutical companies to determine drug candidate viability early in the development pipeline.
To help lower the costly drug-candidate failure rate within the pharmaceutical industry, Applied Biosystems/MDS SCIEX's software will focus on improving the timeliness and accuracy of information generated during ADME testing of the substances that can be developed into drugs.
Applied Biosystems/MDS SCIEX is collaborating with Sound Analytics and Pfizer to design these software applications. Sound Analytics will provide expertise in early ADME software development to complement Applied Biosystems/MDS SCIEX's expertise in drug research tools and software-based automation. Pfizer will provide the guidance to shape the requirements for the new ADME software applications.

"After saying this He spat on the ground, made some mud with the saliva and put it on the man's eyes. 'Go,' He told him, 'wash in the pool Siloam' (this word means "Sent"). So the man went and washed, and came home seeing." John 9:6-7 (NIV).
What was that; a new kind of eye salve? That was a strange way to heal a man, or was it? What was it that Jesus asked the man to put his trust in -- the mud on his eyes, or in the word that He spoke?
How easy it would have been for the blind man to have been side-tracked by what Jesus did to him, and put his faith in that rather than in the simple instruction Jesus gave him. Had he not obeyed Jesus he might have sat around with mud on his eyes waiting for his miracle until the day he died.
Remember Elisha and Naaman the Syrian general? He was also given an instruction by the prophet which he pooh-poohed because it didn't suit him. It was humiliating for him to wash in the muddy Jordan rather than in the clear stream in his homeland. He almost missed his miracle because of his silly pride!
Washing in the Jordan River and washing off the mud in the Pool of Siloam were only the means of testing the obedience of the sufferers. Acting on the word was what triggered their healing.
In John 1 John introduced Jesus as the Word who was with God from the beginning and who was God. Like the spoken word, Jesus is the manifestation of the Father in another form. He is the embodiment of what God has spoken. When He speaks He reveals and reflects the Father. Therefore, whenever He gave an instruction, the Father backed up His word by the action that brought the word to pass.
In John 8 we read that He sets us free from our slave-drivers -- implied -- when we put His teachings into practice. When we weave His word into our lives, we are like a wise builder who establishes his house on bedrock so that, when the storm blows in, it will not dislodge and destroy the house.
How often do we not put our faith in our faith rather than in what God has promised! Faith in the Word releases the power of God to honour His promise. The blind man's simple obedience brought the miracle he was not even expecting.
"His neighbours and those who had formerly seen him begging asked, 'Isn't this the same man who used to sit and beg?' Some claimed that he was. Others said, 'No, he only looks like him.' But he himself insisted, 'I am the man.'" John 9:8, 9 (NIV).
Strange, isn't it, that a blind beggar believed Jesus and risked making a fool of himself by obeying His word and was rewarded with a miracle! Yet some of the bystanders made fools of themselves by denying that the man who used to beg was the same man who now could see. How stubborn and wilfully blind can a person be to deny the obvious and forfeit the miracle of spiritual sight.
Were the people who denied the identity of the healed man afraid of the Jews? Probably, otherwise there is no reason for their foolishness unless they too, stubbornly resisted the idea that Jesus was their Messiah.
It reminds me of the men and women who stubbornly believe that the universe just "happened" when common sense screams out that everything that is made has to have a maker. Nothing just "happens"! Slime doesn't become complex creatures who perfectly function in their environment. Behind their foolish insistence that evolution is fact is the refusal to believe in a Creator God because they do not want to be accountable to Him.
Unfortunately for those who refuse to believe the truth, it will not change or go away to suit them. Like some of the people who denied that the healed man was the erstwhile blind beggar, those who deny the existence of God rob themselves of the miracle of true sight. How surprised they would be if, in the process of acknowledging Jesus, they found out what life is really all about and experience the joy of being reconnected to their Creator!
Are you walking on the Word?

Just how bad is air pollution in China?: So bad officials basically had to all but shut down Harbin, one of northeastern China's largest cities. The chokingly high levels of smog led to suspended schools, disrupted public bus routes, and cancelled airplane flights. In fact, the pollution is so bad, you can see it, and not much else ... visibility is down to just over 30 feet. Want numbers? The World Health Organization recommends avoiding daily levels of particulate matter higher than 20 and considers a reading of 300 to be truly hazardous. In some parts of Harbin, the readings are 1,000. Al Jazeera America
Idle hands: Speaking of air pollution, did you know American automobiles emit a million pounds of carbon dioxide pollution per second? Now think how much of that you have contributed to the atmosphere while warming the car up in winter or chatting with a neighbor by the mailbox. The point is, allowing a vehicle to idle is a really careless way to contribute to climate change. And according to the following PSA, idling might even cost you a date. Mother Nature Network
Warning, gas may be explosive: Canadian police arrested at least 40 people last week as an anti-fracking protest turned violent in Rexton, New Brunswick. Concerned natural gas drilling would poison their land, members of the Elsipogtog First Nation erected a blockade designed to keep SWN Resources Canada from conducting seismic testing. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police came in to disperse the crowd and remove the barricade, but they arrived with guns drawn, and the situation quickly deteriorated. The police shot plastic bullets and pepper spray at the crowd, perhaps in response to a shot being fired at them. In the ensuing chaos, the crowd lit six police cars on fire with Molotov cocktails. USA Today
Candid camera: For 60 years, a long pipeline carrying tar sands oil has been submerged beneath the waters between Lake Huron and Lake Michigan. And lately, environmentalists have become concerned that the ol' pipe may spring a leak. And for good reason ... the pipeline belongs to Enbridge, a company with quite the reputation for ruptured pipelines. After waiting for two years for Enbridge to inspect the pipeline, divers from the National Wildlife Federation threw on some wetsuits and did it themselves (with an Enbridge-owned remote operated vehicle spying on them all the way). What they found were broken supports, signs of corrosion, and excess debris. Treehugger
Scouts dishonor: Utah's Goblin Valley State Park is a beautiful, otherworldly display of what wind and water can do over the course of millions of years (see above). Unfortunately, the park is now also an example of what a trio of yahoos can do in about 30 seconds. Supposedly concerned that one of the rock formations might topple and "kill a family," three men leading a Boy Scout expedition decided to knock the goblin rock over. The dopes also decided to film their deed and then post it to Facebook (of course). So in addition to earning idiot badges, the men may face felony charges. CNN
Maybe she's born with it: Last week, 140 countries signed a global treaty that bans mercury in cosmetics, soaps, batteries, and some light bulbs. Great news, only the ban does not extend to mascara. Mercury is a neurotoxin known to impact fetal brain development, among many other awful things, though some manufacturers deem it a necessary component to kill bacteria that might infect the eye. Necessary? Not quite. But according to Stacy Malkan, cofounder of the advocacy group Campaign for Safe Cosmetics, many companies have already found alternatives. "There's absolutely no reason to not include it in the treaty," she says. "It's just ridiculous." Environmental Health News
Fire in the sky: Every time that old geezer Halley's Comet came through our solar system, it leaves behind a bunch of rocky riffraff and, tonight, all that heavenly detritus will be raining down from the sky at 148,000 miles per hour. (Don't worry, most of it will burn up in Earth's atmosphere in the form of brilliant little fireballs before it lands in your neighbor's pool.) In other words, the annual Orionid meteor shower peaks tonight! So grab some blankets, brew some cocoa, and get ready to watch a celestial fracas! Los Angeles Times

Douglas County Commissioners
have adopted next year's budget and, like this year, the County's financial picture will be austere given the
effects of the recession on sales tax revenue. Commissioner Dale Snyder says you can expect a tight rein on
spending to continue in 2011.
Commissioner Ken Stanton took it a step further adding that next year will
determine if 2012's budget will require deeper service cuts. He says it would be difficult to consider any
additional cuts to staffing . .

December 2, 1955
PRESIDENT EGAN: The Convention will come to order. We have with us this morning the Reverend Charles Alston, pastor of St. John's Baptist Church in Fairbanks. Reverend Alston will deliver our daily invocation.
REVEREND ALSTON: Almighty God, we thank Thee for this opportunity. Bless those who have given themselves in service of our fellow men. We invoke upon this delegation Thy blessing. Father, grant unto them clear vision, true judgment, with great daring as they seek to right the wrong. Remember the nation to which we belong, that in righteousness and truth we may be established -- through Jesus Christ. Amen.
PRESIDENT EGAN: The Chief Clerk will call the roll.
(The Chief Clerk called the roll.)
CHIEF CLERK: Six absent. Two excused absences.
PRESIDENT EGAN: A quorum is present. We will proceed with the regular order of business. Does the Committee to read the journal have a report to make at this time? If not, we will hold it over until this afternoon's session. Presentation of petitions, memorials and communications from outside the Convention?
SECRETARY: None.
PRESIDENT EGAN: Are there reports of standing committees? Mr. Riley?
RILEY: Mr. President, I have a resolution to present on behalf of the Rules Committee which requires a little explanation. A situation confronts the Convention whereby its Secretary must leave, take a medical leave of absence, and that in turn will call for a modification of the operative effect of our Rule 3 which has to do with the delegation of duties of the Secretary and some of the secretariat. I would like to present the resolution for reading at this time.
PRESIDENT EGAN: The Chief Clerk will read the resolution.
CHIEF CLERK: "Resolution No. 8.
WHEREAS, the Secretary of the Alaska Constitutional Convention has, on medical advice, requested a leave of absence;
1. That the Convention hereby approves the Secretary's request for a leave of absence;
2. That the Convention hereby authorizes the President of the Convention to delegate, during the absence of the Secretary, such authority and duties of the Secretary of the Convention as he may deem necessary to such person or persons as are serving the Convention, and
3. That the Delegates hereby express to the Secretary their best wishes for a speedy recovery and a speedy return to the Convention.
PRESIDENT EGAN: What is the pleasure of the Convention?
RILEY: I move and ask unanimous consent that the Resolution as read be adopted.
PRESIDENT EGAN: Mr. Riley moves and asks unanimous consent that the Resolution as read be adopted. Is there objection?
SUNDBORG: Mr. President, I object only momentarily to say that according to our rules, a resolution must take the regular course of business and be referred to a committee, etc. Am I correct?
PRESIDENT EGAN: No, Mr. Sundborg. Resolutions may be treated as a motion if it is so desired.
SUNDBORG: I stand corrected. Thank you.
PRESIDENT EGAN: If there is no objection then the Resolution is ordered adopted as read. Are there reports of other committees? Are there reports of select committees? Are there any proposals to be introduced? Are there any other motions or resolutions? Mrs. Hermann?
HERMANN: Mr. President, I notice the presence of Dr. Bartley in the gallery. I thought we might have the privilege of hearing a few words from him.
PRESIDENT EGAN: Mr. Smith.
SMITH: Mr. President, Mrs. Hermann was just a little faster on her feet than I was. I meant to say that Professor Ernest R. Bartley, whose services were requested by the Resources Committee, is present. Professor Bartley is Professor of Political Science at the University of Florida. He is Director of Research, Florida Board of Constitutional Revisions Committee, author of several staff papers for PAS, Alaska Constitutional Project, the State Constitution within the American Political System, The Constitution and Natural
American National Government and Administration. He has special interest in judiciary, natural resources and executive branch. Again for Mrs. Hermann's benefit, I met Dr. Bartley about five minutes before the plenary session. I monopolized his time up to the plenary session.
PRESIDENT EGAN: If there is no objection the Chair would ask Dr. Bartley to come before us at this time, if he would like to do so, and say a few words to the delegates. Dr. Bartley.
DR. BARTLEY: Ladies and gentlemen of the Convention. It is a very real pleasure to be back in Alaska. I know a great many of you already, and I know that it was one of the tremendous pleasures that I have had during my professional career to be up here last summer and to meet with you then. This morning, of course, there are many whom I don't know personally. I am sure that in the next few days while I am here that I will get to meet and know the rest of you. I thank you again for doing me the honor of asking me to come up here, and there are very few things, very few instances that I have ever experienced, which have given me more satisfaction than the opportunity which I have had, to work with you. (Applause)
PRESIDENT EGAN: Mr. Smith.
SMITH: Mr. President, I would make a suggestion that the secretaries of the committees who would like to have Mr. Bartley consult with their committees, get together and try to arrange a schedule so his time can be put to the best use. I don't know the procedure in other committees, but I am very thankful that the Secretary of the Resources Committee is handling the scheduling, and I feel that if the other committees will get in touch with Mr. Riley, a schedule can be worked out.
PRESIDENT EGAN: You have heard Mr. Smith's suggestion. If there is no objection, then those secretaries who might feel that they desire the aid of Mr. Bartley before their committee will contact him and try to arrange a schedule among the various secretaries as to when they will have the services of Dr. Bartley. Is there other business to come before the Convention? Mr. Davis?
DAVIS: Mr. President, I would like to request consent to absent myself tomorrow. I would like to be excused.
PRESIDENT EGAN: If there is no objection Mr. Davis may be excused for tomorrow. Mr. Gray?
GRAY: I likewise would like to be excused for tomorrow. I am going down to Juneau and I will be back Monday.
PRESIDENT EGAN: If there is no objection Mr. Gray, you may be
come before the Convention? Mrs. Sweeney.
SWEENEY: Mr. Chairman, I move we recess and ask unanimous consent that the Convention recess until 1:30 p.m.
PRESIDENT EGAN: Mrs. Sweeney moves and asks unanimous consent that the Convention recess until 1:30 p.m. Hearing no objection the Convention is recessed until 1:30 this afternoon.
PRESIDENT EGAN: The Convention will come to order. Does the special Committee to report on the reading of the journal have a report to make at this time? Mr. Doogan.
DOOGAN: Mr. President, on page 1 --
PRESIDENT EGAN: Is that the 23rd Convention day?
DOOGAN: Journal of the 23rd Convention day, November 30, on page 1, third paragraph from the bottom, where it says," Mr. Cooper , change to "Mr. Rosswog asked for a roll call. On page 2, the third paragraph from the bottom, at the end of the sentence add "so they would have an official document from the Convention for their scrapbook." On page 7, fifth paragraph from the bottom, "Mr. Rivers and Mr. Barr", it should be "Mr. Victor Rivers". With those corrections I move and ask unanimous consent that this journal for the 23rd day be approved.
PRESIDENT EGAN: Mr. Doogan moves and asks unanimous consent that the journal of the 23rd Convention day be approved with the corrections as noted by the special Committee to read the journal. Is there objection? Hearing no objection it is so ordered. Mr. Doogan?
DOOGAN: Mr. President, I think everybody has on their desk the journals for the first three Convention days. These will be read and reported on on Monday, and since there was quite a little confusion the first three days in getting organized, if everybody will attempt to read them and note any corrections or errors and report them to the Chief Clerk, we will get this taken care of on Monday.
PRESIDENT EGAN: You have heard the report of Mr. Doogan. Is there any discussion? Hearing none, is there other business at this time? Mr. McLaughlin?
MCLAUGHLIN: Mr. Chairman, I move that the present Convention schedule of committee meetings be dispensed with, that the afternoon plenary session be dispensed with and that alternative (a) of the schedule which was included in Secretariat Memorandum 24/a, dated December 1, 1955, be substituted
PRESIDENT EGAN: Mr. McLaughlin moves and asks unanimous consent that alternative (a) of the proposed changes in committee
meetings be adopted until such further notice might be announced by the Chair.
MCLAUGHLIN: Mr. Chairman, before I hear any objections, I
believe this was agreed upon by unanimous consent of all chairmen of committees in private sessions, that it would be more acceptable to the committees.
SUNDBORG: Mr. President, I wonder if Mr. McLaughlin would find it acceptable to have included in that a date in which this
would take effect.
MCLAUGHLIN: Effective tomorrow morning.
PRESIDENT EGAN: The motion is amended so that the motion will
show that the alternative committee sessions will take effect
tomorrow morning.
MCLAUGHLIN: Mr. Chairman, before that is acted upon, are we
having public hearings tomorrow?
PRESIDENT EGAN: There are some public hearings scheduled for
tomorrow, as the Chair recalls.
MCLAUGHLIN: I shall amend it to read "effective Monday morning."
PRESIDENT EGAN: Then the correction is ordered made in the
journal in the notes of the Clerk that it will take effect
Monday morning. The Chair wants to let everyone understand
that this schedule will do away with the afternoon plenary
session until further notice. Mr. Barr?
BARR: I object but only to find a reason for that schedule
being adopted. Schedule (b) would fit my plans better but that is only for personal reasons. Now if it is explained to me
that schedule (a) benefits the Convention more, of course I'll go along with it but I would like to know why.
PRESIDENT EGAN: Is there a second to Mr. McLaughlin's motion?
SUNDBORG: I'll second it.
PRESIDENT EGAN: Mr. Sundborg seconds the motion. Is there
discussion? Will someone rise in explanation? Mr. Sundborg.
SUNDBORG: Mr. President, I think we should say here for Mr.
Barr and others who have not had the benefit of the discussion
on this subject, that it was objected by several committee chairmen a week or so ago that the daily committee sessions were too brief and that the members no more than got into serious discussion of a subject than the time allotted to them expired and they dropped it and went on to an entirely different meeting and had a hard time taking it up at the exact point again. So starting with that the committee chairmen asked the staff to try to devise a new schedule which would give longer meetings, and after several days of discussion, two alternatives were proposed to the committee chairmen. The chairmen were asked to poll their respective committees and try to determine which alternative was preferable. At today's meeting of committee chairmen every chairman who reported, reported that (a) was preferable to (b), and so the committee chairmen, without a voice in opposition being raised, agreed that they would bring on the floor this afternoon the proposal that alternative (a) would be adopted. If there is serious objection to that from the members of the committees, I think that we should thrash it out here before going into a new schedule.
MCNEES: May I ask how long this schedule will be effective?
SUNDBORG: If I might answer, it is the thought of the committee chairmen this will be effective from Monday morning until such time as the Convention finds it needs to revise it. It is a temporary schedule until conditions change. The one thing we have in mind is that proposals will be coming out of committees, probably quite soon, and at that time we are going to need longer plenary sessions. Also, some of the committees, after they report, presumably will have nothing more to meet about, so we can use the time which would otherwise be theirs, to accommodate the committees which are still at work, so it is something that is for the time being and until the Convention would decide otherwise.
MCNEES: I do see some distinction in the amounts of time allocated to various committees here. In other words, the committee in the morning from 9:30 until 12:20 with shorter sessions for the other two. I was wondering,would it be possible for a rotational program to be put into effect -- say we do run three weeks into December -- let these rotate so that each one gets a turn at the various schedules for the longer session at a time.
SUNDBORG: Mr. President, this was not my proposal and I did not draw up the schedule. In fact, I had very little to do with it. All I know is what I have heard in the discussion of the meetings of committee chairmen. The proposal that we might rotate, that is have one set of committees meeting on Monday and an entirely different set on Tuesday was made and it was objected to because it was thought it would lead to
supposed to be at certain hours. I yield to anybody who wants to speak on it.
PRESIDENT EGAN: Mr. McNees, the President's recollection of the meeting today was that a certain discussion centered around and was agreed upon around that subject and that it was generally agreed that supposing your committee wanted to exchange a time with another committee, that you could by mutual consent change your times. It would be entirely satisfactory.
MCNEES: My suggestion primarily wasn't that we change on a day-to-day basis but on a week-to-week basis.
PRESIDENT EGAN: Mrs. Hermann.
HERMANN: Mr. President, I am myself greatly concerned with the fact that the committees are taking as much time as they are. I realize that we have had told us that the target dates are now set and that the proposals are coming out of committees in very short order, but as when tomorrow ends we will have spent three weeks on straight committee work, and while there may be some subjects that require greater amount of time than others, it seems to me those reports ought to be coming in, and I am a little bit worried about the urgency of work on the floor and the need of time to give due attention to work that is going to have to be done on the floor and also that is subsequently to be done by Style and Drafting Committee after the work on the floor has been completed. So I am giving due warning to everybody here that if we don't get some of the work out by the first of the week I am going to become the nagging wife of this Convention. I am going to get up and remind you of it everytime I can get the floor. It is unfortunate that three members of this Convention, Mr. Sundborg, Mr. Davis, and I are on committees that have nothing at all to do except visit the other committees. Maybe the other committees would just as soon have a little relief from our visits.
BARR: Mr. President, I think everything Mrs. Hermann has done she has done well so if she is going to become the "nagging wife" I am going to run for cover. As I said before, I understand a need for in the committees, though personally I prefer alternative (b). I did not know it was a general agreement. I thought perhaps the majority of the chairmen had agreed on this. However, I think I will now renew my objection just in order to get a vote on it.
PRESIDENT EGAN: Mr. Smith.
SMITH: Mr. President, I wanted to point out, if my memory is correct, at yesterday's meeting of the committee chairmen, each committee chairman was requested to take this up with his committee. I did so in the Resources Committee. They stated a
UNIDENTIFIED DELEGATE: Question.
PRESIDENT EGAN: The question is, "Shall alternative (a) be adopted to supersede the present committee schedules until further notice?" All those in favor of the question will signify by saying "aye", all opposed by saying "no". The ayes have it and it is so ordered. Is there other business to come before the Convention? Mr. McCutcheon?
MCCUTCHEON: Mr. Chairman, I would like to revert to reports from committees.
PRESIDENT EGAN: If there is no objection we will now revert to committee reports.
MCCUTCHEON: Committee No. VII on the Legislative Branch has had under its consideration Proposal No. 11 and Resolution No. 4. The Committee wishes to report the Resolution and Proposal back to the floor with the recommendation they be forwarded to the Committee on Resolutions inasmuch as they already have proposals of the same nature under consideration. I ask unanimous consent.
PRESIDENT EGAN: Mr. McCutcheon asks unanimous consent that Proposal No. 11 and Resolution No. 4 be referred to the Committee on Resolutions. Is there objection? If there is no objection the Chair refers the Proposal No. 11 and Resolution No. 4 to the Committee on Resolutions. Is there other business to come before the Convention? Mr. Sundborg?
SUNDBORG: Mr. President, I would like to ask unanimous consent to revert to the order of business of introduction of resolutions.
PRESIDENT EGAN: If there is no objection we will now revert to the order of business of introduction of resolutions.
SUNDBORG: I have a resolution which I would like to read, and then move for its adoption.
"The Alaska Constitutional Convention takes note of the fact that Anthony J. Dimond Day, as designated by act of the twenty-second Territorial Legislature, occurred for the first time on November 30, 1955, the anniversary of the birth of this great Alaskan.
Anthony J. Dimond served Alaska well as pioneer citizen, lawyer, legislator, Delegate in Congress for six successive terms and as District Judge.
His career, not only as a public servant, but as a private
to all Alaskans, including the Delegates to this Constitutional Convention.
His advocacy of, and devotion to, statehood for Alaska was well known and contributed to the advancement of that cause to the point that we are now assembled here writing a Constitution for the State of Alaska.
Now therefore be it resolved by the Alaska Constitutional Convention that upon adjournment of the last plenary session of this week, such adjournment be taken out of respect to the memory of that great Alaskan and outstanding American, the late Anthony J. Dimond."
Mr. President, I move that the resolution without reference to any committee be adopted by the Convention and that it be spread upon the journal of this day's session.
PRESIDENT EGAN: Mr. Sundborg moves and asks unanimous consent that the resolution be adopted by the Convention and that its contents be spread upon today's journal.
V. RIVERS: I am heartily in accord with the resolution, but as I was rather strictly reminded by Tony Dimond one time, he was not a Delegate to Congress but a Delegate in Congress from Alaska. I would ask unanimous consent that the word "to" be changed to "in".
PRESIDENT EGAN: If the author will accept that change
SUNDBORG: I do so.
PRESIDENT EGAN: If there is no objection, it is so ordered. Is there objection to having the resolution in full in the day's journal? Hearing none it is so ordered and the resolution is ordered adopted. Mr. Collins?
COLLINS: Mr. President, I would like to have opportunity to call attention to the Committee XIII, on Amendments, will meet promptly at the Northward Building, Studio KFRB at 3:45 p.m. this afternoon, promptly.
PRESIDENT EGAN: Committee No. XIII will meet promptly at Studio KFRB at 3:45 this afternoon, in the Northward Building. Are there other announcements? Is there any other business to come before the Convention at this time? If not, the Chair will entertain a motion for adjournment. Mr. Victor Rivers?
V. RIVERS: Mr. Chairman, I move and ask unanimous consent that we adjourn until 9 o'clock tomorrow morning.
PRESIDENT EGAN: Mr. Victor Rivers moves and asks unanimous
morning. Is there objection? Hearing no objection it is so ordered and the Convention stands adjourned until 9 a.m. tomorrow.

Cherry Berry Cheesecake Recipe
I found this merry prize winning recipe in a magazine years ago. It's been a yuletide tradition at our house ever since.
- 2-1/4 cups sliced almonds, toasted
- 1/4 cup confectioners' sugar
- 1 teaspoon grated orange peel
- 3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- 1 can (21 ounces) cherry pie filling
- 1 cup whole-berry cranberry sauce
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 envelope unflavored gelatin
- 2 packages (3 ounces each) cream cheese, softened
- 3 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
- 2 tablespoons plain yogurt
- Additional sliced almonds
- 1. Place almonds in a food processor; cover and process until finely ground. Transfer to a bowl; add the confectioners' sugar, orange peel, cinnamon and nutmeg. Stir in butter. Press onto the bottom and 1-in. up the sides of a greased 9-in. springform pan. Bake at 350° for 9-11 minutes or until lightly browned; cool.
- 2. In a large saucepan, combine the pie filling, cranberry sauce, sugar and lemon juice. Sprinkle gelatin over cranberry mixture. Stir until combined; let stand for 1 minute. Cook over low heat until gelatin is completely dissolved, stirring gently. Remove from the heat. Chill until slightly thickened.
- 3. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, beat the cream cheese, confectioners' sugar and yogurt until smooth. Spread evenly over cooled crust. Spoon fruit filling over the cream cheese layer. Refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight. Sprinkle with sliced almonds. Refrigerate overnight.
- 4. Remove sides of pan. Refrigerate leftovers. Yield: 12 servings.

Best bar for elbow room and a dance floor
Casey Moran's
This spacious bar is a favorite for birthday parties and the like, channeling a slightly more upscale vibe with its baroque/modern interior and bathroom attendants. Calmer and quieter than elsewhere, it's easier to actually strike up a conversation here. Still, on the dance floor the music is blasting, and the DJ throws in some classic dance tunes along with the Top 40 hits, so if you're craving a bit of Michael Jackson along with your Ke$ha, this is the place.
3660 North Clark, (773)755-4444
Best bar if you're experiencing Chad/Trixie overload
The Gingerman Tavern
If you can't get with the Wrigleyville scene, or have simply had enough, The Gingerman is the place for you. Right next to Metro, The Gingerman attracts an older, alternative/punk crowd that doesn't feel emasculated drinking the cider they serve on tap. The television is sports-free and the bar is cash-only, but if you can roll with the punches, you might meet a cutie in a black hoodie and glasses.

text: Ben Bernanke introduced a first round of quantitative easing during the worst of the financial crisis, as global markets tumbled and liquidity was sucked out of the system. Quantitative easing is an unorthodox application of monetary policy by which a central bank, in this case the Federal Reserve, loosens monetary policy further after having dropped the Federal Funds rate to the zero range. This is done by purchasing longer-term assets, such as 10 year Treasury bonds, in order to push down interest rates further down the yield curve.Quantitative easing, or QE, came into prominence after Japan attempted to prop up its economy after a massive financial and economic crash during the 1990s. Japan entered what is commonly referred to as the "Lost Decade," where not even QE managed to boost output substantially.

It's time to mark your calendar for the 2013 Four State Farm Show. This year's show will be Friday, Saturday and Sunday, July 19, 20 and 21, on the same 300-acre farm just south of Pittsburg, Kansas.
According to Ted Gum, Four State Farm Show coordinator and Farm Talk Newspaper publisher, there will be new show hours this year. The show will begin at 7:30 a.m. Friday and Saturday, 8 a.m. on Sunday and will close at 3 p.m. all three days.
"Due to the heat we have experienced in recent years, we are starting the show earlier when it is cooler and closing earlier in the afternoon," he explained.
Like always, the Four State Farm Show features free parking and free admission every day.
While most of the 700 booth show is already booked, "we still have a few non-electric booths available," Gum added.
"This show is a gathering of agriculture. It's a place where ag businesses and ag producers can come together in one place," he says.
Like every year, the Farm Show site will be filled with exhibitors displaying all the latest farm equipment, seed, feed, agri-chemicals, livestock equipment, farm buildings, grain and feed bins, tools, tires, trailers ATVs, utility vehicles and so much more.
Not only will those in attendance have the opportunity to shop, this year, Farm Talk will again give away $4,500 in Farm Show Dollars to be used with exhibitors at the show.
Farm Show Dollars, according to Gum, will be given away in a drawing format each day.
"We will be giving away $1,000 a day at the Farm Talk booth and $500 a day at the hay demonstrations," he explains.
Although titled the Four State Farm Show, Gum reminds anyone and everyone to come because it isn't just for farmers.
"Whether you are a full-time farmer, hobby farmer or just need something for your lawn or garden there is something for you at this show," Gum explains.
Not only will there be a wide variety of equipment and products available, most vendors come to sell and feature "Farm Show" price specials on their goods.
For those producers that are more 'hands-on' the Four State Farm Show will feature daily demonstrations.
Forage producers won't want to miss the daily hay demonstrations south of the show site at 1 p.m.
"This gives producers a chance to see equipment operating under field conditions," Gum says.
Some equipment that will be demonstrated includes, balers, rakes, mowers and bale handling and processing equipment of all shapes and sizes.
Need a new lawn mower? Ever wonder how they ride and mow?
You're in luck because the Four State Farm Show has a lawn mower test driving range.
The driving range gives show attendees the chance to actually get on and mow grass with a number of different types of lawn mowers.
With everything the Four State Farm Show has to offer it is definitely a "must attend" event and the thousands who continue to attend each year prove that.
So, if Friday, Saturday and Sunday, July 19, 20 and 21, aren't marked on your calendar yet, better get out that yellow highlighter.
The Four State Farm Show grounds are located south of Pittsburg, KS, to the junction of Highways 400, 69 and K-171 and then 1/2 mile east.
The Four State Farm Show is sponsored by Farm Talk Newspaper. For more information, call (620) 421-9450.

hey guys, this is very confusing...
i am trying to find the minimum of an array by:
for xpre in range(100): #used pre because I am using vapor pressures with some x molarity
for ppre in range(100): #same as xpre but vapor pressures for pure water, p
d=math.fabs(xvalue-pvalue) #d represents the difference(due to vapor pressure lowering, a phenomenon in chemistry)
darray.append(d) #darray stores the differences
mini=min(darray) #mini is the minimum value in darray
darr=[] #this is to make way for a new set of floats
all the arrays (xarr,parr,darr)are already defined and what not. they have 100 floats each
so my question is how would I find the pvap and the xvap @ which min(darr) is found?
edit have changed some variable names and added variable descriptions, sorry guys

Through a long series of researches it has now been definitely established that the complex molecules of the various albumins consist of long chains of interlinked simpler molecules of the amino-acid type. Systematic degradation by chemical or physiologic methods breaks up the complex molecule into its ultimate fragments; the number and character of the fragments in the various albumins are rapidly becoming known to us. On comparing individual albumins marked differences in ultimate constitution are found; the albumin of muscle is different from that in milk, while both of these are in turn different from that obtained from maize. The holding, for example, in arginin, one of the fragments most widely distributed in the molecules of various albumins, may vary enormously, for while some albumins may contain as much as 83 per cent. of arginin, others may contain only 40 per cent., others only 20 per cent., and still others

Has Your Homeowner's Association Driven You Nuts?
Are you fed up with your homeowner's association? Are you sick of them telling you what you can and cannot do? Well one person really went to the extreme to put an end to the constant bickering.
According to Gothamist, an investment banker was hospitalized after jumping out of his 7th floor apartment yesterday, after making the decision to end his life following an ongoing dispute with his co-op board over his family's dogs.
Amazingly, 47-year-old Adam Silberman was transported to Cornell Medical Center around 10:18 a.m., having survived the fall thanks to a conveniently-located awning on the second floor. The article, originally reported by the NY post stated that his leap from the window was prompted by neighbor's complaints about his three French poodles, which created the argument with the apartment's co-op board.
While this story may be to the extreme, what arguments have you gotten into with your co-op or condo association board? How did you resolve it? Did you have to move? Let's hear your stories below.

It will soon be legal to rips CDs, DVDs, and other media in the United Kingdom, according to this TorrentFreak report. The UK government has released a guide informing its citizenry that an upcoming revision of copyright laws in the country which will make it perfectly legal to make backup copies of CD and DVDs for personal use. Those changes will be in effect this summer.
"Copyright law is being changed to allow you to make personal copies of media you have bought, for private purposes such as format shifting or backup," the UK's Intellectual Property Office writes. "The changes will mean that you will be able to copy a book or film you have purchased for one device onto another without infringing copyright."
The UK Government emphasizes that these changes will make current copyright law more reasonable, and doesn't expect that copyright holders will suffer any significant harm.
"This measure will benefit technology firms by removing barriers and costs and improving entry to technology markets which rely on consumers being able to make private copies," the government has said in the past.
Under the updated law people will also be able to legally store copies of their music and movies in the cloud. However, the Government stresses that giving others access to your files will remain illegal.
"You will be permitted to make personal copies to any device that you own, or a personal online storage medium, such as a private cloud. However, it will be illegal to give other people access to the copies you have made, including, for example, by allowing a friend to access your personal cloud storage," the guide explains.
Interestingly enough, consumers can also sell their media to other people, provided that they destroy any backup copies. This is almost identical to European Union laws on selling digital and disc-based entertainment and software property.
Finally, the revisions to existing copying laws will also broaden people's fair use rights. For example, people no longer have to ask permission to quote from or parody the work of others, such as a news report or a book, as long as it's "fair dealing" and the "source is recognized."
To paraphrase that famous restaurant scene in "When Harry Met Sally," "We'll have what they're having."

A couple of decades ago "green" was nothing more than a color that only a few people liked and most avoided because it doesn't go with anything. Today, the term green is a vague reference to anything that can be marketed to infer environmental stewardship. But what does it mean? How does or should it change people's behavior? I find it confusing when tree huggers are asked if they prefer paper or plastic at the grocery store they invariably choose paper. Is grinding up trees for paper bags green? I'm confused.
A quick search reveals countless organizations willing to offer some form of green certification for almost any product on the market, for a fee of course. As a business that manufactures and sells furniture globally, we have been offered nationally recognized green certification for our products, regardless of its country of origin, and in some cases regardless of the manufacturing process used. While some of these certification organizations appropriately measure process and outcome, in truth, many of these certifiers often have little to do with environmental stewardship. For a fee, you too can be green.
Consumers, given the choice, want to be green and are often willing to sacrifice a little in price or convenience … but very little. Survey after survey suggests that the general public believes in recycling, energy efficiency and conservation, but few are willing to actually sacrifice much to attain these. Where government has intervened the situation has often become worse rather than better, with numerous examples of "unintended consequences" so common with governmental oversight (i.e., Biomass provision in the 2008 Congressional Farm Bill).
The industry must adopt a common sense approach to the subject of green. Some items align easily with environmental considerations, while others are more challenged. The industry must balance green initiatives with the demands of the consumer and with the various realities of manufacturing and a complex supply chain. This must be done in a manner that is easy to understand, that balances practical realities and costs, and that, most importantly, allows the consumer to make a holistic and informed choice.
The industry must control its own destiny with a proactive and holistic approach to environmental stewardship. Failure to do so will leave the industry vulnerable to political correctness driven mandates that will artificially increase costs and drive American furniture manufacturing further into a position of non-competitiveness.
Good work, it's pleasure to read your interesting posts. Waiting for more

Awesome information, many thanks to the article writer. It's understandable to me now, the effectiveness and importance is mind-boggling. Thank you once again and good luck!
Interesting topic. What makes a company 'green'...is more a matter of perspective than anything else. 3rd party certification groups who profit by offering up a stamp of approval just muddy the already tainted waters. Consumers love the idea of 'going green'...as you mentioned...but only to a degree that it does not rock the boat of convenience and the almighty...dollar. The consumer who demands to know the processes that are used to bring a product ultimately into their very living spaces is often looked at by society with an upturned eye and quietly ridiculed as an eccentric. This held true years ago before recycling became...popular...and part of American enviromental awareness. As the world grows smaller...and it is...the concept of what is 'green'...and its importance to all of us...will become a more 'popular' consumer consideration...it is inevitable.
No matter how you look at it "green "means $$$'s.
You make a compelling point. Industry has more power than government at this juncture and considering the complexity of international supply chain, it's impossible to impose political correctness globally.
The ease of fee based certificates is frightening, and potentially devastating. The concept that going green is a nuisance expense for industry and something to work around by purchasing certification rather than manufacturing with environmentally responsible methods could forebode penny wise and pound foolish doom for the planet.
Is there a an industry leader who would serve as a model/leader to demonstrates how to UNDO established years of manufacturing methods? This is where it gets tricky; the manufacturers who started out green years ago are solid and the small new start ups with this approach have little challenges in generating feel good products for consumers with a decent profit.
The old school (pre-Green awareness) manufacturers who may have started as craftsmen in a studio and grew to international success, the manufacturers who had to hastily go to China to keep up with American consumers appetite for cheap stuff, these are the companies with the big challenge.
Inspiring companies that are simply trying to compete in an ever more competitive market to be self policing in regard to environmental stewardship is something that will take a motivation that is more rewarding than the simple
fee purchasing. Where will that motivation come from?

Interview: Bridesmaids' Ellie Kemper Discusses Women And Comedy And Steve Carell's Office Departure
By Eric Eisenberg 2011-05-05 17:50:25 comments
Whether you know her as Erin on The Office, the girl from that Derrick Comedy sketch, or even as Jamie from the movie Mystery Team, its no secret that shes one of the brightest up-and-coming comediennes. Exceptionally skilled at playing aloof and innocent, next week Kemper will be hitting the big screen next week alongside some of the funniest women acting today.
Last week, I was granted the fantastic opportunity to sit down one-on-one with Ellie Kemper to not only talk about the film, but also the departure of Steve Carell from The Office (the interview actually took place the day after the episode Goodbye, Michael aired). Discussing both career changing events, she talked to me about the amount of improvisation on set, the difficulty of getting through her major scene with Steve, and missing Jon Hamm, who used to be her high school drama teacher. Check out the interview below!
First of all I just need to say that I absolutely loved the movie.
That is so nice of you. I just saw it for the first time last night. I love how it came out!
You can tell just from the trailers that there must have been a lot of improvisation. When youre actually on set, do you have any idea whats actually gonna be kept and whats not?
I know! Thats what I was curious to see because I do feel like the movie could have gone a number of different ways depending on what they decided to keep in and what they decided to take out. And there was so much improvisation and it was so encouraged that it was really, I mean everything, I think we did some takes as scripted, but it was so welcomed, like, everyones input, everyones thoughts on that. So yeah, I think, and I know just mostly form reading about it from other films that Judd lets the camera keep going and thats a nice luxury to have, to be able to do different ideas of things.
Were you coming up with stuff on your own, were you taking notes?
Yeah, absolutely. I think a little bit beforehand the writers, directors, producers said, you know, if you have any ideas, if you think of jokes, whatever it is, you know, talk to us, send it to us. Which, Im not a movie veteran but I havent heard of that happening to actors and it was really nice to have that. But I also think within the scene, on the day we were actually shooting it, ideas that would come to you, we would just say something and if it worked it would stay in there. I found that a number of times last night, it was exciting.
I love the fact that you can watch the trailer for the movie and then when youre watching the actual final cut its just different, youre not waiting for those trailer moments.
Exactly, my mom was saying that. Shes like, well wait a second, I saw that in the trailer but I didnt see it in the movie. I know, it was all, it could have gone a number of ways.
Just to start from the inception, how did you come to the project? Did you go after it? Did they come after you?
Yeah, well you tell me, I dont know how anything ever works but I know Alison Jones, she did the casting for the movie, I knew her from The Office, she does casting for that, so I knew her and I knew Paul Feig because he had worked on The Office, he had directed an episode, so I knew him. I had not met Kristin or Annie before and then, so thats the part that I never know how that stuff happens but I went into an audition for it and then I got to work on it. That was so incredible. I didnt even know that most of them had worked together at Groundlings, of the actresses anyway, and I was really lucky to be a part of it. I look at other movies and Im like, Wow, I got a really good movie.
I know. Ive been thinking about this a lot lately and I think that in TV more you see more things that are sort of driven by strong female characters, especially in terms of comedy. I think you see that more on television than in movies, until this point, these days I mean. Thats why its so, without sounding sappy, like special about this is its called Bridesmaids, it is about women. But I think that it is something that, not to go back on what I just said, but I dont really think of it as, like, Oh, its female leads, its just a funny movie. And luckily it has a lot of female stars.
Talking with Paul Feig earlier, it sounded as though there were a lot of changes made to the script from the first draft to what is coming to theaters. Did that apply to the character of Becca as well?
Yes and no. Wendy was just telling me that she had been at a table read of this movie, like, five years ago so I have no idea how long this has been going on. But I think that from when I auditioned for it until actually shooting it, I dont feel like there were too many changes to Beccas character. I feel like she was always sort of naïve, sort of inexperienced, narrow-viewed not because shes an evil person but because she hasnt lived very extensively. I dont think that that changed too much, which is fun to play.
Thats actually something I wanted to talk to you about. Do you see her as just being naïve or do you think shes kind of a dim-bulb?
See I dont think, well I heard Betty White say this about her character on Golden Girls, she was naïve, that Rose Nylund was naïve but she wasnt dumb. Its really the same thing about Becca, because I dont think that she is dumb. I think that she maybe is simple, has simple tastes, and hasnt seen anything too different from what is in her immediate circle, and her immediate circle is, like, marriage and family and very traditional choices, which, that is fine to make those choices, but also you have to be aware of other things too.
And Ellie, perhaps, in real life. I was thinking of that line-up and, not even thinking of Jamie from Mystery Team
Which I love, by the way.
Oh yay! That was a funny movie! I guess shes more on the farce spectrum. But I do think I had seen similarities between Erin and Becca for sure, and in terms of that like, I dont know if that is something I am putting out there as a person myself, or what. But I think that these two characters are sort of similar. You know what though, if I had to put them in a Jeopardy match, I think Erin would win. It would be a tough match, but I think Erin thinks a little more outside the box. But theyre equally naïve. In a naiveté contest, it would be tough to say who would win.
Actually I do want to talk a little bit about The Office. Last nights episode was kind of a monumental deal. Did you watch it last night?
We got back home, I got home from the party and I was like, okay, Im gonna watch the Royal Wedding and The Office, and I didnt make it through either. I have not actually seen the final cut of it yet and I will tell you, in a weird way, Im a little hesitant to watch it. I think because, you know, it is the final, I will be sort of the last time, well Im aware that I can watch reruns. But we shot it, we filmed it, I was like okay. Im acting like Ive been on it forever but Ive only been on for two years. It was really super sad, hes incredible. And it really hit me when we went to shoot our last scene that I was not expecting this. I was like, you know, they knock on your door and theyre like, Ellie, ten minutes until your scene. And then I just started balling. I was so embarrassed too, because I did not want to cry in front of him. I am totally going off on a rant, but its sad that hes gone, but its exciting. Well see what happens.
Yeah, I did want to ask you about that bench scene, and just saying, like, how emotional it was at the time when you were filming it.
That was, I, whatever acting I do know, I was like now that isnt acting. I just remember, because in Secretarys Day, this episode where Erin and Michael sort of first bond, and then on that bench, Mindy wrote it again, it was on that bench again, I think also as a person, its like, oh, Steve Carell is this master. Anyway, just on sort of a personal note, it was sad.
Yeah. I had seen him, you know, I guess I hadnt seen him for a while. I guess I had seen him at ADR sessions, but we wrapped Bridesmaids in August. But yeah, I saw him at, you know, ADR sessions but not really until he came back to direct the last episode. And that was, hes fantastic, he knows hes good. He has such a specific idea, he knows what he needs. I was so happy he got to come back to direct that episode. That was sentimental.
So Erins relationship with Gabe is kind of interesting now, particularly after what happened at the Dundies, so Im kind of curious both about that dynamic and whats going to happen with Andy.
I know. Im trying to think of, to make sure I dont get myself in trouble, Im always scared Im going to get fired if I leak something, but I loved, I thought it was so weird and typical of Erin to break up with her boyfriend over a microphone. And again, I dont think shes an evil person, she just doesnt think how things will come across. I know in the episode last night that Gabe is trying to get her back for some unknown reason, because shes driven herself to be a bit of a weirdo, but hes in. I think that I was sort of hoping this would happen, I was secretly hoping that Erin would be kind of disappointed in love, because its sort of more interesting to play, rather than it be a happy ending. So without going into details, Ill just say that I hope that she takes this opportunity to maybe learn more about her own self and become more of an adult. Because at this point, its a tricky thing because she came two years ago and, well Im talking about her in the third person, I do think that going through that thing with Andy last season, like, there was, she wanted some stuff there. But shes sort of been, like, strangely enough shes been romantically linked to someone in the office almost since she got there. So I dont think it would be a bad thing for her to be totally single. But I dont know whats gonna happen.
How has that experience been? Is it harder?
For me! Because you know what, I have separation anxiety. I do! My parents would go out of town and Id be like, No! So it is sort of like Dads gone. That sort of thing is sad, but you suddenly, we had a two-week break after the last episode, so it was a nice transition, you know like, okay, adjust to the grief. Coming back has been weird, were done shooting for the season now, but it was, you know, someones missing. Its just a natural, I think like, development. Things are changing, we all have each other. Im acting like someone died, he didnt die.
Well actually thats kind of whats weird about it. You really, watching the show, you really feel like hes moving to Colorado and you feel like youre just never going to see him again.
Thats what I keep saying. I mean I dont know, Im wondering, Im like pretty sure you can just bring him back. Because its weird. And I think in one of the, I cant remember which episode it was, but theres like a reference to someone having spoken with Michael that day and Im like, Oh he is still alive! Its not really, it doesnt seem like anyones gonna keep in touch with him that much. But I hope he comes back, just for like, a visit to Scranton, I think thats possible. I dont know. I told you I have separation anxiety!
I think the entire audience cried last night in that last scene, are you kidding?
Oh my god. Jim and Michael, shooting that. I was just in the background and I was like, Ellie, you cant ruin the scene by crying in the background. But just hearing them, and you know, snot starts coming out of your knows. I hope thats good, its a nice thing to be able to cry.
Also I heard that the season finale is an insane cast line up, how was that experience?
I know, but you know what? I almost feel like, Im thrilled, I didnt get to meet everyone who was there because of schedules, but that whole parade of amazing actors who came in.
Who did you get to meet?
Will Arnett, who I thought, you know how you think you know someone but you actually dont? But youve like seen them? So Will Arnett, James Spader was there, Jim Carrey was there, right, thats out?
Okay, good. Because I guess that was a secret and I didnt know it was and then my mom told me and I was like, Mom, how did you know? Okay anyway. And then, Ricky Gervais, who I met at the Emmys a year ago. I went up to him and said, Oh, I play, Im new on the show. And he thought that I had said, I found this out later, he didnt hear me, he thought I said, Im you on the show! So he thought I was like an insane fan. Im YOU on the show! Anyway, I didnt see him when he was shooting anything. And Catherine Tate I didnt get to meet. She was there for a morning before my call time so I didnt get to meet her. And who am I forgetting? Who else was there? Oh my gosh Ray Romano! Who was so, I dont want to say adorable because that sounds patronizing, but he was. He was like, Im nervous, I was like, I dont know what you have to be nervous about.
Another one of the biggest shows of all time.
I know! Right. I was like, I think you have some idea of what youre doing.
Getting back to Bridesmaids, while I was researching last night, I found out that Jon Hamm was actually a teacher of yours, which is kind of so weird. For one, I know you didnt share any scenes together, but did you spend any time together on set?
Why do I keep missing everybody? No time. Because he was, all of his scenes were mostly with Kristin so I never saw him. And I in fact didnt even find out that he was gonna be in it, I saw it on IMDB and I was like, Hes in it!? My high schools going to go crazy! He is so nice because, I get worried because I hope he doesnt think I mention that he taught me, but he did and hes so nice about it. And hes like, you know, in addition to being a fantastic actor, hes like this hero of St Louis. So, no, I didnt get to see him in filming.
Have you seen each other since then?
I saw him last night at the premiere. And again, hes so nice to me, hes always so nice to my mom which of course, hes just a class act. But seeing him, that was such a, I love that they opened up that movie with, like...
But its so perfect. Its like every womans, well Im revealing too much, but thats like, what a wonderful fantasy, and then thats the first scene.

We set up 5th Gospel Retreats in 2006 in solidarity with the Christians of the Middle East, working for justice and peace in the Holy Land. We show our commitment in three ways: by going out by bringing back and by speaking up.
Pilgrimages - we specialise in pilgrimages to the Holy Land of Jordan, Palestine and Israel - tailor-made for each group - engaging with the Land, with Scripture and with the Christians.
Altar Wines - we are the UK importers of altar wines from Cremisan, the Salesian winery in Bethlehem.
The Salesians of Don Bosco established the vineyards and winery more than 125 years ago to help Palestinians by providing a livelihood for local families and an education for the children. The Salesians' original purpose continues unchanged to this day - shining as a beacon of stability and humanity through the tumultuous changes of the last century. Buying these wines directly helps the people of Bethlehem to offset the devastating economic consequences of recent years.
Olive wood crafts - olive oil, soap and za'atar - we distribute by mail order
Any profit and all donations are taken to Bethlehem for the charities of our Friends and Partners and to needy families in the parishes.
