Time for women to reclaim brains over bodies

Twenty-five percent of American women aged 18 to 34 would rather win America's Next Top Model than the Nobel Peace Prize, and 22 percent would rather lose the ability to read than their figures.
They'd rather lose their ability to READ?!
Al Gore, Mahatma Gandhi, and the Dalai Lama have won the Nobel Peace Prize for alerting the planet about the dangers of climate change, advocating nonviolence, and saving thousands of lives.
One in four of my young American sisters would rather win some ninny reality show for teetering down the runway in six-inch heels than join the ranks of the world's leading thinkers? What kind of women would seriously answer the poll that way?
The same women who would trade literacy for a hot bod. Wow.
The younger the sample, the worse things get. A Pew Research Center poll found that 51 percent of eighteen- to twenty-five-year-olds said that becoming famous was their most important or second most important life goal. Half of young women would rather get hit by a truck than get fat.
But it's bad news for us across the board, at all ages. One-third of women in a representative survey consider their appearance their most important quality, more important than job performance or—sigh—intelligence.
When I simmered down, I realized, grudgingly and painfully, that those twenty-five percenters, in their own twisted way, admitted something that is true for nearly all of us modern girls.
Maybe you can confidently say you'd take the trip to Stockholm for the Nobel over Tyra Banks calling you "fierce" on the catwalk, but how about this: The vast majority of young American women value their hairstylist over their accountant, according to the same Oxygen Media survey.
Can you honestly say you don't fall into that category? Or this: Young American women who consider themselves attractive spend more time grooming themselves than watching or reading the news. Lots of us—dare I say, most of us—spend more time wielding a blow-dryer than a newspaper.
This is what we've become, despite our educational achievements, despite our brainpower.
I once knew an overweight female judge who'd spent a lifetime trying, unsuccessfully, to lose weight. She told me she'd do anything, even give up the bench, if she could just be thin.
Breathe in, breathe out. Regain composure.
Here's the nagging problem. Perhaps it's not individual vanity and shallow-mindedness that led to those answers. Because I believe that these statistics are a reaction to something much bigger. What if they are rational responses to a culture that values a specific, high-maintenance feminine beauty ideal over female brains?
Because we now require more—much more—tweezing and hot waxing and highlighting and contouring and Botoxing and body sculpting of our female bodies than we did a generation ago. And most of us do most of it most of the time because if we don't, we don't get the cultural goodies: the boyfriend, the job, the social status.
Even though we have breathtaking equality compared to our mother's generation, we now jam our toes into sky-high platforms our mothers would never have worn and, to our mothers' horror, submit our bodies to plastic surgeons because the hot girl gets rewarded.
The 25 percent of young American women who'd rather keep their figures and win a modeling contest know something; they know there's a big brass ring for them merely for looking good, and brains—well, maybe there's a payoff there, and maybe not.
But the hot girl generally gets what she wants. That's the promise our culture makes to girls: Be hot and you will get. In film, television, magazines, and online, there's one constant question to our girls: Are you hot or not?
So it should not be surprising that when given a choice, they choose hot—because we still don't offer a big enough payoff for choosing brains.
Tabloid media is making us stupid, narcissistic, and self-loathing
You know the phrase "garbage in, garbage out"? Computer programmers initially coined it to explain that a computer's output is only as good as the information the computer is given. GIGO is a principle digital recorders use, meaning that an audio or video file, digitized, is only as good as its analog counterpart.
Likewise, in organic chemistry, if the materials used in the organic synthesis are impure, the resulting mixture will be of low quality.
Or how about this one: "We are what we eat"? Sure, our health depends on the right input of nutrients. And so it is for the mind. We are what we read—and what we view on all those television and computer monitors in our lives. The information we take in daily shapes our outlook, our context, and our view of what's important.
Most of us read ingredient warnings and consider what we're putting into our mouths. But how many of us consider the quality of what we're feeding our minds on a regular basis?
For women, what we read, increasingly and sometimes exclusively, is celebrity rags and blogs: People, U.S. Weekly, In Touch, OK, Star, National Enquirer, TMZ.com, PerezHilton.com, Radar Online.
TMZ.com has ten million unique visitors each month, and Yahoo's celebrity gossip page, "OMG!" has twenty million. These skew overwhelmingly female. Young women especially pore over the tabloids like they'll be tested on them.
In 2003 U.S. Weekly had a modest 800,000 subscribers per week. That number more than doubled to a circulation of nearly two million weekly by 2010. An editor there tells me they count at least 10 readers per subscriber, as the glossies are popular in doctor's offices and nail salons; I see them in waiting rooms everywhere.
Janice Min, the glossy's outgoing editor-in-chief, says her core market is the 13 million American women who are "avidly involved" in pop culture. This would presumably include the 10 million people who tuned in to the 2009 season premiere of Jon and Kate Plus Eight after U.S. Weekly "broke the news" of their separation and featured cover stories on Jon and Kate six weeks in a row in the summer of 2009.
Garbage in, garbage out.
Read glossy rags about the personal lives of celebrities and then turn on the show to watch them sit on the couch and whine and fester. Then buy next week's magazine to read up on the new hairstyle or mistress.
This process is a complete ecosystem, except that as in organic chemistry, the impurities you're pumping into your brain are lowering your IQ, convincing you that this crap cosmically matters, and damaging your mental health.
Seriously, that's what's happening. Dr. Drew Pinksy (syndicated radio host of Loveline for over twenty-five years and host of Celebrity Rehab) argues in his book The Mirror Effect: How Celebrity Narcissism Is Seducing America that our current fame obsession is a public health issue, and I am with him on this.
He subjected 200 celebs to a standard psychological test, the Narcissism Personality Inventory, and found that they were 17 percent more narcissistic than the average person. Reality TV stars were the absolute worst of all.
Dr. Drew explains that, from a psychological standpoint, "narcissism" doesn't mean that stars are in love with themselves but rather that the celebrity behaviors so many seek to emulate grow out of genuine personality disorders rooted in "unbearable feelings of internal emptiness.
When the image in the looking glass disappoints them, or fails in some way, they turn to other solutions. These other solutions—addiction, extreme vanity, sexual drama, and dysfunctional relationships, exploitativeness, and outrageous entitlement—have come to dominate celebrity culture."
In his view, "the mirror effect" is the result:
We, the viewers, become as narcissistic as the celebrities, adopting all their arrogance, lack of empathy, and sense of entitlement.
"Whenever you choose the entertainment media's offer of escapism cloaked as 'news,' you do so at the expense of a real connection with humankind. You're anaesthetizing yourself, while reinforcing and amplifying your latent narcissistic traits. You're abdicating your interest in the world and surrendering to the false image of the world as you wish it to be," he says.
In other words, we become almost as bad as the egomaniacs, drunken starlets, and arrogant attention-seekers we read about. We become desensitized to the lying philanderers. We start to believe that their squabbles and fashion don'ts and DUIs mean something. We lose touch with what matters.
And, weirdly, even as tabloid media makes us more narcissistic, it also makes us hate what we see in the mirror.
We've long known that the more girls and young women read celeb mags or watch music videos and TV, the more they hate their bodies.
The comparisons with the perfectly sculpted (and now always, always Photoshopped) forms of celebs is just demoralizing. In one study of nearly 550 working-class adolescent girls, the majority were dissatisfied with their weight and shape.
Almost 70 percent of the sample stated that pictures in magazines influence their conception of the "perfect" body shape. Further, adolescent girls who were more frequent readers of women's magazines were more likely to report being influenced to think about the perfect body, to be dissatisfied with their own body, to want to lose weight, and to diet.
Overall, young people who watch TV and soaps and read tabloid magazines have more body dissatisfaction. Furthermore, the more girls identify with television stars or models, the more they experience body dissatisfaction.
Singer Jessica Simpson has said that when she looks at herself, airbrushed and retouched on magazine covers, she wishes she looked like that—because she knows that's not her. Hell, my cover photo on this book is, of course, professionally retouched.
All of us in the media know that the stylists, hairdressers, makeup artists, and lighting crew work hard to make us look much better than we actually appear off-camera.
Tabloid media's evil twin is reality TV, which women, especially young women, watch compulsively. A typical example of this popular genre is The Hills, the most successful show in the history of MTV. (I wistfully remember when there was actually music on Music Television.)
During its time on air, it received two to four million viewers, overwhelmingly teenage girls and young women. As far as I can tell from watching most of one episode on Hulu.com until I went numb from boredom, this "loosely scripted" reality show (huh?) follows around the three most self-absorbed young women on the planet. They shop and they fret about romance. They talk endlessly about why they broke up with this boyfriend or may reunite with that one.
They look off longingly into the distance while doleful music plays. They have lunch in Beverly Hills and talk about who they should invite to their beach party. There is a beautiful Malibu beach house, but no one is the least bit grateful for the use of the place, much less the open-ended wardrobe budget.
We have to wonder if these women have ever had a thought in their pretty, empty heads about anyone other than themselves.
One of these breathtakingly self-obsessed young women, Heidi Montag, attempted to launch a singing career with songs like "Superficial," with the lyric, "I don't care what they say / It isn't fair / That I wear diamonds for breakfast," and "Girls say that I'm conceited 'cause they really wanna be me."
That's her argument that she's not superficial?
Like other celeb wannabes who clawed their way up from obscurity to fame without any discernable talent, Heidi has no shame about her self-obsession. Apparently she spends nearly all of her free time looking in the mirror, considering expensive medical options to improve her appearance. She readily gave magazine interviews about her "addiction" to plastic surgery.
As the Chicago Sun-Times reported in January 2010:
Reality TV star Heidi Montag confesses in a new interview that, despite her good looks, she is so obsessed with plastic surgery that she recently had 10 procedures—in one day.
"For the past three years, I've thought about what to have done," Montag says in the January 25 issue of People. "I'm beyond obsessed."
Montag, twenty-three, who had breast augmentation and a nose job in 2007, says she "shopped around" for body parts in the pages of Playboy magazine before she appeared on its cover in September. "When I was shopping for my boobs, I wanted the best," she says. "So I sat down and flipped through a bunch of Playboys."
She told People in August that more surgeries were ahead: "I plan to get a few more upgrades. . . . I'm sure as I get older I'll need some touchups.I think I want to go bigger on my boobs for [husband Spencer]."
Montag's procedures included:
• Buttocks augmentation
• Boob job touch-up
• Nose job touch-up
• Chin reduction
• Liposuction in her neck
• Liposuction in her waist and thighs
• Mini brow lift
• Botox in the forehead
• Fat injections in her cheeks and lips
• Pinning back her ears
For her brazen "look at me now" attitude about plastic surgery, Montag landed the coveted cover of People magazine, America's number one celeb weekly. She posed for photographers in Las Vegas later that year with her new G-cup breasts barely contained by her bikini.
I shudder to think how many young women and adolescent girls will follow her lead. Apparently that's of no concern to Heidi, or at least she hasn't publicly expressed any concern about that.
Instead, she's spent years staring in the mirror—"beyond obsessed" in her words—rather than looking outward at what her contribution to the world might be. In return, we glorify and reward her self-absorption with major magazine covers and hit television shows, encouraging girls to be like her.
And every time we watch The Hills or Real Housewives or Keeping Up with the Kardashians, a clump of our brain cells resign in defeat.
So, how did this happen to a people as nice as us?
Incrementally, step by step, each day of school lost to budget cuts, each time we choose to pass up the book store for the shoe store, each time we click on Perez Hilton or "Teen Mom," each time we participate in glamorizing empty shells of women who define themselves by their resemblance to Barbie rather than by their ideas and accomplishments.
And what a shame, because we've come so far, so quickly.
Luckily, we still have time to get back on course.

The attached picture of the instrument panel very aptly summarises BMW's new uber-SUV/Coupé, the X6 M50d.
It shows the car's cruising at just under 200km/h while the fuel consumption meter is reading just over 9 litres per 100km.
Before I'm accused of antisocial behaviour, I was cruising legally at that speed on the unrestricted German autobahn (the great safety record of German freeways proves that with competent drivers behind the wheel, high velocity is not the killer that our speed-trap-obsessed South African authorities would have us believe it is, but that's a story for another day).
The point here is that where you expect a large and muscular brute like an M-badged X6 to quaff combustible fluid like a sailor on shore leave, the opposite is true. This Bavarian mega-diesel combines thrust with thrift.
A claimed 0-100km/h sprint in just 5.3 seconds and a governed top speed of 250km/h puts this diesel Beemer into the Usain Bolt category of SUV athletes.
It's one of the most powerful diesel SUVs in the market with 280kW and 740Nm under the bonnet – but the surprise is that it manages this with a relatively compact 3-litre straight six engine.
This new-generation Beemer engine – which is also available in the X5 – employs no less than three turbochargers instead of the usual one or two.
Comprising two smaller turbos and one large one, it's a setup designed to reduce low-rev lag, and I can confirm its effectiveness from the way the X6 had huge dollops of power from the word go. No lags or pauses, just instant thrust which allowed us to whisk effortlessly past most other autobahn traffic.
All this, and the X6 averaged just 10.1 litres per 100km. That's higher than the factory's 7.7 litre claim but still an impressive figure given that the test car was always filled to capacity with passengers and luggage.
It's really an awesome drivetrain that's impossible to dislike. An eight-speed auto transmission governs the thrust in smooth and slick fashion, and the car even has a sporty voice. You don't usually expect vocal charisma from a diesel but this one makes a growl not unlike a petrol V8 when you boot the throttle with enthusiasm. When cruising however, the engine remains politely silent and vocally unobtrusive.
What does prove somewhat obtrusive during a long cruise is the steering's super-sensitivity, which necessitates making constant small corrections to stay in a straight line, especially when there's a bit of a side wind. For a long open road I'd prefer the steering to be a little more indirect. Active Steering, which changes the sensitivity according to driving speed, isn't an option available in the M50d as it is in some other X6s.
I guess BMW decided this is an M-badged car and requires a sporty feel on twisty roads and the X6, in both its steering and chassis responses, does offer athletic handling for such a mammoth vehicle.
The car displays minimal wallowing in fast-paced cornering, but without the suspension being tightened to uncomfortable levels.
I have no complaints about the ride quality, even after one marathon ten-hour drive.
I doubt many X6 owners will ever go bundu bashing and put the traction-enhancing xDrive 4x4 system to the test, but it does really work and kept us pointed in the right direction when we headed into the snowy mountains of Slovakia on iced-up roads.
Providing additional grip at the rear axle is a system called Dynamic Performance Control, which applies more engine torque to the outer wheel on bends.
In previous European winter trips I spent many an hour digging notches in the ice to get a two-wheel drive car out of a parking space – otherwise the wheels just spun uselessly even if there was just a slight incline – but my experience with this X6 remained thankfully spade-free. All-wheel drive in these slippery conditions is a godsend.
Along with the introduction of the new triple-turbo diesel engine, the four year old X6 was also given a mild facelift in August last year with slight changes to the head, tail and fog lights, along with slightly redesigned front and rear bumpers. Some new trim options are available inside the cabin.
The passenger quarters are roomy although the rear seat takes just two passengers.
The X6's coupe-like roof slope gives it a smaller boot than the X5, but it still offers a very useful 570 litres.
With a pricetag of R1 064 182, the X6 M50d comes suitably stuffed with all manner of standard luxuries and gadgets including navigation, Bluetooth/USB music connectivity, 8GB of music storage, electrically adjustable front seats, and alcantara/nappa upholstery, to name but a handful.
If your pockets are deep there's a long list of optional extras, one of my favourite ones being the active cruise control (costing R18 000), which takes a lot of the stress out of long trips by automatically keeping a safe following distance to the car in front, even when crawling in slow traffic.
As standard the X6 comes with a reversing camera and parking sensors galore – and it needs them. It's a biiiig vehicle and even with all the electronic aids, parking is always a rather stressful exercise.
With a 0-100km/h time just half a second slower than the petrol-powered BMW X6 M flagship but with just over half the fuel consumption, the X6 M50d is a big-daddy diesel that gives kickass performance without fuel bills that make you cry. At a price saving of 330 grand.

Die Hard alum Bruce Willis isn't sweating becoming a fourth time father later in life – in fact, he claims it has helped him maintain his action career.
"One of the things that makes becoming a father that much easier for me is that I pretty much stay in shape and I can run and jump and play, and being a father at this point in my life is great," he tells the Daily Mirror newspaper. "I feel like I have the same amount of love I used to have, if not more. I like getting up early and I like looking after Mabel and it's just very exciting – it makes me very happy."
In addition to being father to his 9-month-old daughter with wife Emma Heming, the 57-year-old star also co-parents his daughters Rumer, 24, Scout, 21, and Tallulah, 19, with ex-wife Demi Moore – and couldn't be more happy with the "great women" they have grown into.
"There was a time when I didn't quite know what kind of adults they were going to turn into," he admits. "'But they turned into really great women and they have great morals and great ethics and they're also kind, polite and intelligent and I couldn't be more pleased."
"We always raised them to have their own voices and to speak their minds and their opinions," Bruce adds. "'And now that they're older I hear every opinion they have and I'm pleased with it."

Big Bird Discotheque is a CAW professional wrestler better known as B.B. Disco. Currently, Disco only works for Terrordome Championship Wrestling Asterisk (TCW*). B.B. also attempted but failed to join Suspect Lariat Dungeon (SLD). Disco is the former holder of the 2011 CAW Young Lions Cup.
Rumor has it that Disco was born to the owner of a roller disco named and his 19-year old girlfriend within a bathroom stall. This myth has never been confirmed as B.B. never talks about it and the parents seem to never be available for comment. Disco grew up watching WCW, two of his favorites being Disco Inferno & Alex Wright. Eventually, he joined the Takuman Training Facility and proved himself as one of the fastest rising stars of the trainees.
Terrordome Championship Wrestling Asterisk (TCW*)
B.B. Disco was called up just in time for TCW*'s debut show, Fight The Hedges. Because of his progress, he was given a shot to become the first Interconinental Champion by participating in a triple threat ladder match involving the legendary AKI-Man and the ultimate winner of the match, Kenshin. At *2: Sports Talk Wrasslin', Disco was put in a number one contender's match for the I.C. title against Trece Alvarez. B.B. would go on to win the bout after hitting Alvarez with the Vinyl Cutter. Disco's title match took place three weeks later at *3: Like Tears In Rain, where he would face then-champion Kenshin. After a hard-fought contest, Kenshin retained in what was considered a match of the season canidate.Disco was given another opportunity at gold two shows later, at Fists of Iron. He was one of 6 men in the first ever "Metalocalypse Now" battle royal for Jay Hancock's Mpire Championship. In the end of that brutal contest, B.B. obtained his first title after eliminating Hancock last with a belly-to-belly suplex into a broken chair. The title would change hands at the very next show, *6: Scorched Earth, where Skullduggery III would leave with the "MickieD" Red Strap.
Suspect's Lariat Dungeon
For full SLD article, click here.During this time of his career, B.B. attempted to join the faction known as Suspect Lariat Dungeon. The leader of the stable opened a CAW contest in order to fill the spot left open after the sudden demise of Eddie Domanian. Among the others in the competition were Dark Magician, Sub-Zero, Chas, Sean Heritage, Evan O'Shea, and Jake Jones. Luck was never on his side in this competition however. In the show's debut, he was given an opportunity to main event against Suspect. Disco would lose to the man of the Million $ Lariat. B.B. He would survive in the competition until Week 4 going 0-3. The majority of those defeats handed to from the ultimate winnner of the contest, Sub-Zero.
Return to TCW* Full Time
His first match back was at *7: Ulmeyda City Limits, where he would face Darren Tate. Poking fun at Disco's recent shortcomings, Tate attempted to get in the head of his opponent by dressing up as Sub-Zero. Clearly enraged, the plan worked as Tate would go on to win the match. Disco's next match would come at *9: The Reign of Black Snow in a 4-way dance for the vacant Intercontinental Championship involving Trece Alvarez, B.B. Disco, and Darren Tate. Unfortunately, Disco was the first eliminated after being knocked out with a Yin-Yang Driver.Disco returned to the Mpire division for TCW*'s Season one finale, Ichiban, and the Terrordome Invitational. The match would be won by one of Disco's true rivals, Darren Tate.
Disco started off his Second Season teaming with Zane Ulmeyda and the one-time appearing El Pollo Loco to form the trio of Luchamegeddon for the War Games: Torneo Conejo Tournament. In the first round, Luchamegeddon faced Team Japan (Nappa, TAKA Michinoku, & Rouroni Mutoh). All six men put on a spectacular showing to kick off the show in Ft. Hood, the Luchadores were eliminated first when Mutoh knocked out Ulmeyda with a shining wizard.
After several losses, Disco grew even more upset that Billy Yank broke his own season-long losing streak in an Outcry From Outworld dark match by defeating a dwarf dressed up as Shao Kahn. B.B. was pissed at the New York Native for taking the easy way out and challenged him to a match at Violence For The Sake of Violence. Even though Disco hit the Funk 'Dat, Yank came back and won the match, leaving the red-haired masked man dumbfounded.
After winning the CAW Young Lions Cup, Disco attempted his first defense at *16: Imminent Threat in a rematch of the Tournament Finals against Tony Vegas. Despite a valiant effort, Vegas would bring home the trophy after two REO Speedwagons.
Disco's next match occured at *17: Casino Royale, defeating Clyde Silva. After an Inferno match for the Intercontinental Championship at *18: A Clean Burning Hell, B.B. would come to the aid of Champion Dwayne Matthews as Silva & The Father of The Following would attack Matthews after the bout. This would lead to *19: CAW-Wres Noire, which featured a tag match between the four. The Following would take home the victory that night when Silva hit Disco with the Riot Buster. The four would face off in the ring again at *XX: Ichiban Returns, this time in a Fatal 4-Way for Dwayne's I.C. Title. Matthews was successful on that night, hitting a Tiger Driver on Disco for the victory.
Disco would earn his rematch in a Four-Way Dance during the Post-season which was also for the Midcard prize. He would make it to the final two, outlasting Kenshin and Silva, only to once again fall to Matthews' Tiger Driver. They faced off once again at *21: Natural Born Masters. This time around, Disco was able to fight out of the Spartan Drop and pin Dwayne with a Hurricanrana, winning his first Championship Belt in over a year.
For the upcoming War Games Tournament, B.B. teamed up with the TCW* Tag Team Champions, Zane Ulmeyda and Rurouni Mutoh of Ulmutoh to form the trio known as Blood For Gold. They will face The Following in the first round of the Trios Tournament. At *23: The Killing Joke, Disco was able to defeat Dwayne Matthews in an Intercontinental Title rematch. B.B.'s next title match occured at *24: Terms of Enrampagement, facing Hijo Del Reyes. At the climax of the contest, Disco attempted to hit a Dragonarana but was countered by a powerbomb transitioned into a Royally Screwed. Hijo will move on and win the Intercontinental Championship. At *26: Human Hi-Fi, Disco was able to sneak away with the IC Title after pinning Hijo with a Frankensteiner. The two fought one more time at *27: Morning In America in a match decided by the fans to be a Two out of Three Falls match for the title. While Del Reyes was able to secure the first fall via Royally Screwed, Disco was able to strike right back to tie the match. Disco would win the match after hitting Hijo with the Funky Rhythm. After the match, Billy Yank would make his return from injury and jump Disco. B.B. was able to compete in the Kinniku Classic to determine who would challenge for the World Title at *XXX. While he didn't do as well as he hoped, he was able to score a victoy over Roscoe Carter in the final day of the Round Robin segment. Disco and Yank would face each other at *29: Switchblade Symphony for the midcard prize. Disco was once again able to retain his title only to get jumped by a ringside Hijo Del Reyes, Yank, and Darren Tate. This led to Disco defending the gold against all three at *XXX: Ichiban Triumvirate. Once again, B.B. was able to leave Madison Square Garden with the prize.
Disco's fourth season began at *31: The One Who Knocks, with a successful defense of his Intercontinental Title against Father Jacob Graves. Rocky Blade was in the Champion's corner that night, and afterward issued a challenge for the Gold. Blade was able to defeat BB during a December 27 webmatch, ending the longest Intercontinental Championship reign to date. During this time, Disco aligned himself with Nathan Roderick and Ethan Sander of the Ger-Can Connection for the War Games Torneo Serpiente, dubbed International Funk 2000. The trio was able to win the first round against Team Zom813's The Butcher, Rick Acid, & Matt Phoenix. In the second Round, International Funk would be eliminated by The Damage Gauge.
At *33: Operation Kansas, B.B. would be unsuccesful in his rematch for the Intercontinental Title, losing again to Blade. Disco would then enter a Wildcard Battle Royal at *34: Mr. Fahrenheit against Dwayne Matthews, Billy Yank, Zane Ulmeyda, Ethan Sander, and Father Jacob Graves. The winner of this match would receive a guaranteed spot in the upcoming Fists of Iron Tournament. Disco won this match, last eliminating Yank. He would do so again in the first round of the Tournament, as well as scoring a victory in the Semi-Finals against The Following's Clyde Silva. In a hard-fought match, B.B. would earn his win back and more by defeating Rocky Blade in the Tournament Finals. After this win, Disco was able to fight for the TCW* World Championship against Kenshin at *36: Crimson Moon, making it their first singles bout since the first season. Disco was able to pull off the victory after a Vinyl Cutter to win his first World Title. In his first defense Disco would retain after defeating Billy Yank at *38: Cadaveriffic. At *XL: Ichiban Requiem, Disco would retain his title in a brutal Will of Steel match against Kenshin. However, he would lose the title at *41: Absolute against Hijo Del Reyes due to an attack by Calavera.
CAW Young lions Cup 2011
Recently, Disco has signed on to participate in the 2011 edition of the Young Lion's Cup tournament. His first match in the tournament was against Rod Queerstreet. Here he won his first match since the Metalocalypse Battle Royal after hitting two downward spirals. In the Block A Semi-Finals, a 4-way battle royal took place between Disco, IWT's Blake, Malcom McDermott, & Keith Connor. Despite Blake dominating eliminating the two representatives of NESE, Disco barely scraped by with the victory after eliminating Blake with a lariat. In the final round, B.B. faced the unsigned talent Tony Vegas. In what could be considered the best match of the bracket, Disco brought the trophy home after multiple Downward Spirals, Electric Chair Facebusters, and Super Urunages.
James Blazer's Halloween Havoc
B.B. was accepted into one of the main events of the multi-league event, a six-man Hell In A Cell for the new Havoc Underworld Championship. Just for the occasion, Disco donned a darker gimmick, complete with a new mask and theme for one night only. It would fail to work in his favor when he would take the pinfall loss to the winner of the title, Alex Striker.
New Age Wrestling (NAW)
B.B. Disco made his first appearance on New Age Wrestling in the debut of a new show, Static. He was in the first match of the night, defeating NoDQ legend Link with a Dragonarana pin. Disco would make his return to NAW one more time before the company closed down, scoring a victory over Bobcore Holly.
Barely Regulated Aggressive Wrestling League (B.R.A.W.L.)
Disco has recently signed to B.R.A.W.L. . For the league's debut show named Golden Uprising, B.B. has been announced as one of the eight participants in a tournament to crown the league's inaugural Internet Champion. Disco was able to get passed the first round with a victory over Matt Carlos, but was defeated in the Semi-Finals by the eventual winner, Louden Styles.
Developing Futures Wrestling (DFW)
In his first match with Rising Star Wrestling's developmental league, DFW, Disco was able to challenge for the Heritage Championship against the man who brought the belt in, Sean Heritage. After a truly competitive match, B.B. was able to capture the gold after connecting with the Funky Rhythm.
BATTLE Pro
Disco made his debut in Louden Styles' league known as Battle Pro in the second episode of Awesome Fight-O. In the main event match of the show, B.B. was defeated by the head of The Black Cathedral, Rex Morbi. In his return, he was able to score a victory over "The Misfit" Ryan Mclean. Afterward, Disco entered the King's Gold Tournament, winning his First Round match against fellow TCW* member, Rurouni Mutoh. He would not be successful in the next round, losing a triple threat match to Smokey. At the next event, Something Must Die, Disco would fight Mclean once again, this time to a no-contest due to interference. B.B. Disco's roll would continue at Battle Pro's next event, Slaughterhouse Slam, when he defeated BLK_OUT 2.0 co-leader, Eric King.
New Skype CAW Wrestling (NSCW)

Some of Wilco's dates within 'Sky Blue Sky' tour in North America are rescheduled after guitarist Nels Cline was caught chicken pox.
Wilco's guitarist Nels Cline has contracted chicken pox and therefore the band have to cancel their scheduled shows for the next two weeks. Some dates have been rescheduled with Duluth, Minnesotta that was supposed to take place today (August 14) pushed back to September 4.
Those who can't make it to the Sept. 4 day can refund their tickets at the place of purchase. Meanwhile the gig in Winnipeg, Manitoba on August 15 will be rescheduled to "sometime in 2008". For the rest of the dates that come within the next two weeks, will be decided later by the management of the band.
The post on the band's site suggested that Cline is recovering but "not quite there yet". The band said, "We apologize for the inconvenience... but we're really glad Nels seems to be over the hump and hope to see you out there soon."
The Duluth and Winnipeg dates are part of the band's tour 'Sky Blue Sky' that promotes their new album of the same name.

A woman is accused of ripping off the state government $140,000 by claiming natural disaster relief payments
It will be alleged the 54-year-old Grantham woman made fake applications to The Premier's Disaster Relief Fund and Natural Disaster Recovery Relief Arrangements, claiming a total of $140,000 in 2011.
The claims were for money to repair and replace damaged property. She is due to appear in Gatton Magisrates Court on February 25.

In 2012 she had a successful spot with Triple J's breakfast duo Tom and Alex, but has tweeted that will no longer be the case in 2013. All she would say is that the station is "looking at other options" for her. Intriguing.

There's outrage on Twitter this afternoon thanks to this photo of a tour poster which, er, reveals the 'most wanted' troupe of half-naked men in the US of A have omitted Brisbane from their Australian schedule. #Travesty.
Treasurer Tim Nicholls has called a press conference to draw a line under the "miasma of mistruths" (A+ to whoever came up with that line!) peddled by Wayne Swan. He says the federal government has cut the Queensland Health budget by $103 million while the state government increased it by $800 million.
The two treasurers are currently duelling over whose fault it is the Queensland Health boards have made a swag of cuts in different regions. Mr Swan has counter argued the Feds are putting an extra $600 million into the state's health budget over four years.
That crocodile everyone has been talking about - the one photographed by an Ingham police officer on the Bruce Highway. Well, it turns out the croc was a baby and was on a mud bank well away from the highway. Nothing to see there folks!

Is anyone ever going to win a PR battle with ambos? Ambulance officers are about to go into arbitration with the state government in a battle over the conditions being offered in their new awards. According to the United Voice union ambos' meal allowances are being scrapped, an unfair rostering system is being introduced and decision making powers are being limited.
The issue has been ongoing for months and United Voice secretary Gary Bullock has issued another statement "pleading" with Premier Campbell Newman to backdown on the proposals.
Here's another Australian favourite, from B105 breakfast crew host Abby Coleman:

YOU have read much of this before I'm afraid: poor start, rousing finish, fruitless corners, chances missed and, worst of all, cup exit again.
This is a re-written column. In the middle of Sunday night, I realised a sense of perspective is needed as our league position is fine and promotion or play-offs are within our grasp – but not if the same faults keep occurring.
Why they are so doing is a direct challenge to management and coaches.
Certainly everyone acknowledges the problem – now is the time to take action before all this season's good work is undone.
Last week, I lightheartedly suggested an alarm clock was needed. Should I have said water cannon? To win a game, any game, you need to impose yourself as a team. This is not happening often enough of late.
"We cannot keep chasing games," said manager Hockaday after the game. Indeed not. Our poor starts are in stark contrast to our rousing finishes. Recently it has all been too little and, with soft goals being conceded, matches are slipping away. Silverware already is off the agenda.
It was 22 minutes on Saturday before there was a goal attempt from open play. Where was the cutting edge? Trinity were allowed to settle – players and crowd gained in confidence.
They played to their strengths and dug in. Forest Green did not. I was haunted all last season by a phrase I heard at Hayes. I must repeat it because it is still relevant.
"You are playing good football but not hurting them".
Our forwards are not scoring – in fact, our last two goals have been scored by our left-back, Chris Stokes. A telling statistic is that during the match against Nuneaton, all three forwards were substituted and on Saturday two were.
Does not this raise questions over selection?
Again this is another matter for the manager to sort out. Six crucial league matches f ollow in quick succession and 18 points are available. Few will be won if the recent form continues.
Last season, we played Braintree away after some poor performances. Five goals were scored. We need similar result, and I would settle for ten points out of the next 18.
There is the chance of six from the next two games against lower placed teams. Go out and earn them Rovers.
Some general points now. First the crowd.
Manager and players sportingly acknowledged the Gainsborough support as they left the field.
The contribution of visiting supporters was remarked upon in the postmatch press conference.
Was this an implied criticism of us? This was FGR Radio/ BBC Radio Gloucestershire's Bob Hunt's question to Dave Hockaday. Always up front and honest in his after the game comments, he answered that sometimes supporters needed to stand up and be counted.
I thought the Rockwool did. Certainly after the final whistle, there were boos – but not during the game. The main stand are never the most vocal and on Saturday there was not too much to shout about.
My son is an experienced actor with much stage experience. He was told at the outset of his career that once people had paid for admission, they had the opportunity to praise and acclaim what they saw, but criticise as well.
In every performance, any applause has to be earned. There should be no let up. Are footballers told this? Now contracts. I have no problem with players not yet signing. They may well be ambitious and wish to play in the Football League. There is nothing wrong with this and hopefully that can be with FGR.
If not, they have the right to take their chance elsewhere as so many of us have done in our working life. Attitudes in the club should not polarise.
I am hoping that they do not but am worried that Oshodi lost the captaincy, giving way to Collins. The manager reassured us by saying the armband rested more easily with the more experienced player.
No cup progress this year means the all-important league challenge can be met without distractions – and the chance is there.
Our team performance must reflect the strength of the squad. In the cup, it has not; in the league, it so splendidly has. Long may the league performance be the norm.

Table Soccer Foosball
Just a yard or two short of a full-sized foosball table, the beauty of this model is that you can probably fit it into even the tiniest of studio apartments and/or pick it up and take it on the road.

Part of staying healthy is staying in the know and keeping up to date on what's going on in the world around us. If you're on the go and still want to keep up with what's trending, we're here to help! Here are the top links of the day in bite-size pieces.
Taking Pictures May Impair Memories, Study Shows (via Fox News)
Next time you are at a museum, try holding off on the picture taking until after you've looked at an object without the assistance of a camera lens. Snapping pics instead of actually looking at a painting or sculpture may make you less likely to remember what you are seeing. And the point of going to a museum is for you to become more cultured, not your Instagram followers.

A smallholding in Cambridgeshire is leading the way in farming the alpaca by breeding to improve the quantity and quality of its fleece.
Janet and Peter Garner established Morden Hall Alpacas in 1997 at Guilden Morden, on the borders of Cambridgeshire, Hertfordshire and Bedfordshire.
They began with three alpacas, but now have a herd of 40.
The animals are bred for their fleece, which is a fine, hollow fibre that is made into soft warm garments.
Peter Garner takes samples of the fleece every year to measure the diameter of the fibre.
He said: "The lower the diameter, the finer the fibre will be and the softer the garment that is made from it."
But Peter Garner said that at the moment alpaca farming is a breeding industry.
The fleece sheared from Morden Hall alpacas is sent to the British Alpaca Fibre Cooperative who process the fleece into finished products.
The Garners do not make any profit from the fleeces.
Peter Garner said: "We need to build up the numbers of alpacas in the country to make the harvesting of the fleece a viable proposition."

Eurocopter is celebrating the 50th anniversary of one of its most popular helicopters–the Sud-Aviation (SA) 318 Alouette (Skylark). In May 1955, the second prototype of Sud-Aviation's new turbine single took to the air for the first time near Paris. The next month, test pilot Jean Boulet took the new helicopter to a record (at the time) altitude of 26,932 feet.
Later that year the SA 318 became the first turbine-powered helicopter to enter series production.
Designers Charles Marchetti and René Mouille made the decision to abandon an earlier variant, fitted with a somewhat lethargic piston engine, for a gas turbine model. At the time, Turbomeca had developed two engines: the Artouste I, which developed 250 shp, and the Artouste II, which company president and founder Joseph Szydlowsky finally agreed to loan to the designers.
The engine proved its worth in bench tests, and the SNCASE (Société Nationale de Constructions Aéronautiques du Sud-Est) design office– one of Eurocopter's ancestors–decided to design a new airframe around it.
Thirteen months after the helicopter made its maiden flight, the first production Alouette II lifted off and, in 1957, certifying agency SGAC awarded the helicopter its certificate of airworthiness.
Production stopped in 1975 after delivery of 1,324 examples. Eurocopter calculated that last year the nearly 300 Alouette IIs still in service logged 27,000 flight hours.

Pictures of Lindsay Lohan holding a knife to a pal's throat at a party have emerged.
Trouble manages to find Lindsay Lohan, again, when pictures showing her holding a knife to a friend's throat are being published.
The pics, that have emerged in the UK, are said to have been taken at a house party four months before she was admitted to rehab for the second time.
"These photos are very worrying. Lindsay is so out of control. She should not be left within a million miles of a knife. The states Lindsay gets herself into she is lucky to be alive," News of the World who made public the pics quoted a source as saying.
Lindsay is in rehab at Malibu's Promises center after a wild Memorial Day weekend in the US, during which she crashed her Mercedes-Benz into a curb.
British newspaper The News of the World is the newspaper that also releasing the photos of Lindsay allegedly snorting cocaine with friends in a Los Angeles club bathroom.

2014 New Hampshire Q&A: NASCAR Sprint Cup - Aric Almirola
Posted by: ASkyler on Jul 11, 2014 - 05:42 PM
2014 New Hampshire Q&A: NASCAR Sprint Cup - Aric Almirola
Aric Almirola raced his way into the Chase, for all intents and purposes, with a win last week in the rain-shortened race at Daytona. Almirola met with media in New Hampshire Friday afternoon and reflected on that win, what it means going forward and more.
ARIC ALMIROLA, No. 43 Charter Ford Fusion - IT HAS BEEN A COUPLE DAYS SINCE THE WIN. HAS IT SUNK IN? HOW WAS YOUR WEEK? "My week was really busy. It has sunk in. All the guys on the team are fired up. It has been a really busy week. I did all my media obligations mostly on Monday because we did a tire test in Richmond Tuesday and Wednesday and then yesterday I did a little bit of media and started off this morning at 9 am with more media. It has been really busy but I will take that kind of busy any day. To come off a win and take all that comes along with that is really special. Our race team is really fired up, not only about the fact that we won but that there is obviously a really good shot we will be in the Chase now. We feel good about that and we are going to work our butts off for the next seven or eight weeks to get our cars the best we can and get ready for that Chase."
ONE PRACTICE UNDER OUR BELT. HOW IS THE CAR HEADING INTO THE WEEKEND? "We fought tight pretty much since we unloaded. We got it a little better and when we switched over to qualifying trim we have been just okay. We were 19th I think in practice. All in all we just need to roll the center of the corners better but Trent has a plan for tomorrow but it requires changing a lot of parts and pieces and we wouldnât be able to get it done and in line for tech in time for qualifying today so he is going to come up with a new plan for tomorrow for race trim and make the best of what weâve got for today."
SO YOU HAD THE FLAG DELIVERED TO YOU? WHAT IS THE STORY? "So obviously I didnât win under green-flag conditions so usually if you do you swing back by and grab the flag from the flag man at the end of the race and so I didnât get to do that and so this morning the flag man, Rodney, brought down to my team guys the checkered flag. When I got in the race car this morning the checkered flag was sitting inside my race car. That was really cool."
WHAT IS YOUR TEST PLAN NOW THAT YOU HAVE MADE THE CHASE? "We have another race car that we need to get into the Chase at Richard Petty Motorsports so Marcos is obviously really good at Watkins Glen so we are going the week of Indy, when we leave Indy, we will go to Watkins Glen and test that week. We want to give Marcos the best shot he can to win there because that would be unbelievable to have both of our cars - for as small of an underdog team as we are, to have the possibility of getting both our cars in the Chase is phenomenal. That is the priority on our list right now. After Watkins Glen that will be three of our tests. Our mindset going into the year was to use all four of our tests if we have to before the Chase starts because we want to get into the Chase. That is what it was about for us. We didnât feel it would do us any good to save a couple of our tests or one of our tests for the Chase if we didnât make it. We were going to use everything in our power to try to make the Chase. Fortunately weâve won a race now. Hopefully Marcos can go and have a really good run at the Glen and win there or somewhere besides there. I would love for him to win here this weekend and then we donât have to test Watkins Glen because we know he will be good there anyway. Weâve already talked about that and we have one test left after the Glen. Our philosophy is still that it doesnât do us any good to save and hold on to those tests. We have to do everything we can to be the best in that first round of the Chase. I am assuming after talking with Trent that we are probably going to plan on testing at one of the tracks in the first three races of the Chase because it doesnât do us any good to save a test for Homestead if we are knocked out of the Chase. That is our motto, go big or go home."
WHERE ELSE DID YOU TEST? "Charlotte and Michigan."
HOW COOL WAS IT TO COME UP TO YOUR CAR TODAY AND SEE THAT WINNER STICKER ABOVE YOUR DOOR? "That is really cool. When I go-kart raced at local go-kart tracks in Florida or even nationally on the WK series, when you would win a race you would get a sticker and put it on your go-kart. The coolest thing was at the end of the year to see how many stickers you could accumulate on the side panel of your go-kart. Even if you really tore up your go-kart, you always tried to save that side panel and put it on with the next body because it had all your win stickers on it. That was really cool as a kid growing up. To have this on the car is really neat and it reminds me a lot of my childhood memories of winning go-kart races. I think it is really cool."
I HEARD YOU GOT A LOT OF TEXTS FROM FELLOW DRIVERS. ANY GUYS GIVE YOU A HARD TIME ABOUT MAKING THE WINDOW SMALLER FOR THEM TO MAKE THE CHASE? "Not really. I was really surprised when I woke up on Monday morning I had 223 text messages to respond to. All of them were very kind and everybody was really happy for me. That was really neat to wake up to that. I had quite a few voicemails and emails too. It was really neat for me to see that kind of outpouring. There are plenty of days when I have bad days at the race track that I wish I would get 200 text messages telling me to keep my head up. It was really cool to see the outpouring that we got but I donât think anybody was upset. We all race under the same circumstances and we know that winning is a huge part of what gets you in the Chase now. I think we are still going to see a few more winners this year that havenât won a race yet get into the Chase too. I think the spots in the Chase are going to get pretty slim for guys on points. It is going to be pretty exciting to watch these next eight races in my opinion. I think there will be a lot of people with a lot of pressure on them to get a win."
DO YOU HAVE COMPASSION FOR THOSE GUYS? "I certainly do. We were in that same position. We had a few good runs where we had fallen out of races for whatever the circumstances were and me and Trent these last couple weeks were really sweating it. We pretty much were convinced that with the cars we had in front of us in points and where we were at, we knew we had to put all our chips in on the table because we wouldnât make it on points where we were at. We needed to win a race and low and behold we did. Now that puts us in a whole new position. We were really concerned with where we were at in points and we were points racing all the way up until Daytona and we kept looking at the points. Every time the race is over you get on the plane and look at the points to see how many points we were out of where we needed to be to get locked into the Chase. You look at that stuff every week and are very aware of what is going on."
WHEN YOU GET TO THE CHASE, BECAUSE THE RACES ARE DIFFERENT AND THERE ARE ELIMINATION RACES, FROM A COMPETITORS STANDPOINT ARE YOU STILL FINE WITH A HALF-WAY RULE OR SHOULD NASCAR LOOK AT GOING THE FULL DISTANCE OR THREE-QUARTERS FOR A CHASE ELIMINATION RACE? "That is a great question. I donât know the answer to that. I think they have a lot of hoops to jump through when races get postponed and TV is a big part of that. They canât keep pushing TV schedules back and cutting off whatever else was supposed to come on air. I know that really plays into the decision. I think that has just been the rule. The rule is when it gets to halfway and it rains and doesnât look like they can go back racing in a timely fashion and get with their TV partners, then the race is called. I understand the circumstance at Daytona. We had already been postponed from racing Saturday night, so they push it to Sunday morning. We get delayed in the beginning of the race, then get back racing and every single one of us that was on the race track could see it. I think that is why the big wreck on the restart happened because everyone was pushing in shoving because we could all see from inside our race cars the back straightaway how black and dark it was and the rain coming. Our spotters and crew chiefs knew it was all around us and right on top of us but didnât know when it was coming. We were all racing really hard past halfway to keep our track position and stay up front because we all knew the rain was coming. Those are the rules and how we all raced. I donât know the answer to that question or how to make it fair or not fair. I know that has been the rule and that is how we race and I won and I am excited about it."
ARE YOU REACTING TO LEBRON LEAVING MIAMI? "No, I have no reaction for that. Wherever that guy wants to take his talents he can take it. I am not a huge basketball fan. I like college basketball a lot more. College basketball seems a lot more like a team sport and the NBA seems a lot more like and individual sport."

A COLLECTION of stunning Japanese enamels which used to belong to Wanderers owner Eddie Davies is to go on show in Bolton.
The Victoria and Albert Museum, billed as world's greatest museum of art and design, is bringing The Seven Treasures to Bolton Museum next month as a part of a touring exhibition.
It will features pieces from a recent significant donation by Mr Davies CBE, who was raised in Bolton.
His gift is made up of almost 90 bowls and vases, mostly dating from the period known as the Golden Age of Japanese Cloisonné.
A Bolton Council spokesman said: "It's a pleasure to welcome the V&A exhibition to Bolton Museum, and especially the inclusion of the Edwin Davies collection due to his strong Bolton connections.
"We would highly recommend that people pay a visit to this fascinating and beautiful exhibition and even come to understand and share Mr Davies' admiration for these pieces of art."
Cloisonné is a way of enamelling an object, typically made of copper, where fine wires are used to outline the decorative areas and enamel paste is applied before the object is fired and polished.
The council spokesman said: "The Seven Treasures exhibition is a comprehensive survey of cloisonné enamels, combining the V&A's collection with a recent significant gift of Japanese enamels by Edwin Davies CBE.
"The collection of almost 100 bowls and vases from the late 17th century to the 20th century is a fantastic introduction to this amazing art form and allows audiences to see how the craft developed over several centuries. The objects donated by Mr Davies, however, show the Golden Age from 1880 to 1910 is the really special period. This is when the highest quality pieces were produced."
The exhibition is on display at Bolton Museum from October 6 to January 6, 2013.
Greg Irvine, Senior Curator in the Asian Department at the Victoria and Albert, will talk about the history and meticulous craft of Japanese enamels.
The free talk will take place on Friday, October 19 from 1pm to 2pm, in the Central Library Lecture Theatre.

HUDSON — Michael D. Riley was passed out behind the wheel of his pickup after hitting a utility pole on State Road 52 west of Little Road about 2 a.m. Tuesday, authorities said.
A deputy, responding to the crash, tapped on Riley's window.
Riley, 34, awoke, punched the gas and crashed into the pole again. Then he passed out again, a Pasco County Sheriff's Office report states.
The deputy knocked on Riley's window for a second time.
He woke and put his truck in reverse and crashed into the deputy's cruiser, causing minor damage, the report said. The deputy was not injured.
When a Florida Highway Patrol trooper arrived, Riley was asleep in nearby bushes, the report states. His blood alcohol level, authorities said, was between 0.338 and 0.335 — more than four times the threshold of 0.08 at which Florida law presumes that someone is unable to safely drive a motor vehicle.
Riley, who is from Kentucky, told investigators he'd been drinking vodka.
He was arrested and charged with felony DUI and three counts of DUI causing damage to property or person. This is his fourth DUI charge in 10 years, authorities said. He's being held at the Pasco jail in lieu of $6,500 bail.

The Cloud Girls
Summer begins this week and that means Oregon's forest fire season won't be far behind. Not too many decades ago, high adventure in the outdoors meant service, duty and responsibility to protect Oregon's forests from catastrophic fire. This week, we learn about the Tillamook State Forest where women once 'manned' fire lookout towers and earned the nickname, "The Cloud Girls."
When you visit the Tillamook Forest Center, you must step up in order to travel back to an earlier time. Lisa Gibson, an Education Specialist with the Oregon Department of Forestry, said that the replica four-story fire lookout tower provides visitors with a snapshot of life from an earlier era right after WWII.
As I joined her for the trek to the top of the tower, she said, "It's a beautiful coincidence that there are 72 steps to the top, because there are 72 million trees planted across the Tillamook State Forest." Gibson said the women who "manned" 15 towers atop the remote and rugged Oregon Coast Range Mountains began after WWII and continued through the early 1990s. They were called the "Cloud Girls."
"It was a really romantic idea," added Gibson. "These young women out by themselves in the forest – living on their own and watching for fire among the clouds and the tops of the trees. People had a vision that included a somewhat romantic image for their service."
They were a special breed of Oregon Department of Forestry personnel, because women like Eleanor Mitchell answered a call that few men dared in the late 1940s.
Mitchell was prized and admired by all for her patience and willingness to endure lonely weeks in the woods. "By all accounts, she really enjoyed the job," said Gibson.
The way Mitchell tells the story, it was actually easy and a job she relished – and as a young woman fresh from high school in Yamhill, it was right up her alley: "I'd be on my own, I'd have a salary and I would be independent and meet new people."
Mitchell's tour of duty began in 1950 and continued for 13 years. She encouraged and even trained more women to join the Cloud Girls, like her sister-in-law Barbara Mitchell. "Oh, I worshipped Eleanor – she was older and I thought everything she did was perfect. It was an easy sell job."
But life inside a 14×14 wooden box was anything but "perfect" at a time long before the internet, cell phones or cable TV. Yet, the women said that they were never lonely – in fact, they enjoyed the solitude, and they had lifelines of a sort in their portable radios. Each lookout was required to call in twice daily with the conditions that would track unsettled weather.
Even in summer, conditions could turn dangerous in a heartbeat and become risky; especially when lightning storms swept past.
"Yes, that happened to me the first week or two," noted Mitchell. "The first crack out of the box – a lightning storm came up from the south and one of the strikes went down near the tower. It was a terrible crashing sound."
But there was little she could to do about it for there was no escape, so Mitchell learned quickly that lookouts must simply hunker down, endure the worst and get on with their jobs – regardless of the dangers. "I couldn't escape to go down the tower and get on the ground. I just didn't think about the hazard and I can't say I was actually frightened."
"Sometimes, all you could see was the fog," noted Barbara. "You are often above the fog and then it's cold. I'd often lie in my bed and my hair would blow from the cold wind blowing through the cracks in the lookout walls. It would be really cold."
You can get a feel for those conditions today on a trail that leads to the top of Saddle Mountain State Park in the north Oregon Coast Range, where a lookout tower once stood for more than six decades. "It's a very steep climb; especially the last half mile," said park ranger Shelley Parker. "It's definitely not for anyone who's afraid of heights, but it's quite rewarding when you get to the top because you enjoy a spectacular view."
Back at the Tillamook Forest Center, Lisa Gibson said that scenery aside, the lookouts were isolated by choice and they enjoyed the chance to serve. "It really was an important civic responsibility as a fire lookout. In those days, we needed to get to the fire quickly and there weren't even roads to get to the places where fire happened. The fire lookouts were key in providing information to field offices to get fire crews to attack fire before it got so big they couldn't control it."
Mitchell got to know all about "big" fires in 1951 when the last of four major blazes collectively called the "Tillamook Burn" (1933, '39 and '45 were the previous Tillamook blazes) roared to life in what's known as a "rekindle." It spread quickly – fanned by high winds and came within a mile of Mitchell's tower at Trask Mountain. She learned later that while she was on duty embers from that fire had burned holes in the roof of her tower. She kept busy providing conditions and the fire's status via the radio. "It didn't dawn on me to be worried – for safety or anything. I guess I thought I was a pretty lucky and nothing bad would happen to me."
While the official Cloud Girls service ended in the 1980's, their spirit of service and their stories are alive and well at the Tillamook Forest Center. It is worth a visit to discover and learn more.

Summer 1957, my husband (Al Mandigo) and I manned the forest tower at Silver Lake, Oregon. A native of Boston, I was way out-of-my element, but my husband was a forestry student (U. of Maine) and really enjoyed the rustic life. With his college degree '60, we returned to Oregon for the rest of our lives and added 5 children to the population! Thanks, Grant.
Donna says…
I enjoyed this article so much. I love historical human interest articles. This story makes me want to meet one of these women and ask her all kinds of questions like: what did you do to fill your time in the tower, what was a day like, what were some of the most memorable moments (good or bad), what kind of people did you meet in the forests?
