Charles Reed, who has served a very difficult 14 years as chancellor of the Calilfornia State University system, retired today. God help his replacement.
Reed leaves behind an impossible job. The state is cutting -- with no end in sight -- public support for its public university systems, both Cal State and University of California. But even as they take money away, state officials, including the governor and leading legislators, love to take swips at the university and attempt to micro-manage how they spend their diminished resources.
And students and faculty think the university administration is the enemy -- when administrators are potential allies in what should be a fight against the state. The California Faculty Association's blunt statement on Reed's retirement began: "Chancellor Reed has presided over an era of unprecedented turmoil in the California State University system. The CSU has seen devastating
budget cuts, and students have borne much of the burden – student fees
have more than quadrupled since 2002."
U.S. & World
Don't let the door kick you on the way out, Mr. Reed.
So who would take on such a terrible gig? It won't be easy to find someone. One big obstacle is the irrational anger at the six-figure salaries given to individual campus presidents. Getting someone to replace Reed might well take a seven-figure salary, but could such a person survive the onslaught of public criticism from elected officials, faculty and students if they were paid that much. It's a Catch 22.
So I have a solution. Get someone who is grossly overpaid for an existing job to take on the Cal State gig. My nomination is for Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim first baseman Albert Pujols, who signed a $25-million-a-year contract befor this season -- and has hit American League pitching about well as your grandmother might. Judging from his post-game quotes, he seems to be feeling a little guilty about his performance. Maybe he could be convinced to work days at Cal State headquarters in Long Beach for free, before making the short drive to Anaheim for night games.
Yes, he's not a seasoned academic administrator. But the job basically requires being a public scapegoat for other people's problems -- the lack of state support, the resulting fee increases because of that lack of support. For $25 million, he could take the heat. It really is a thankless job.

Sometimes having your period can be a pain — literally. Most girls have to deal with PMS, cramps, or headaches around the time of their periods. These problems are usually normal and nothing to worry about.
Here are the facts on which period problems are common and normal — and which ones might indicate there's something else going on.
Premenstrual syndrome (PMS) is the term for the physical and emotional symptoms that many girls and women get right before their periods begin each month. If you have PMS, you might experience:
PMS is usually at its worst during the 1 to 2 weeks before a girl's period starts, and it usually disappears when her period begins.
Doctors have not pinpointed the exact cause of PMS, but many believe it is linked to changing hormone levels. Following a girl's period, the amounts of estrogen and progesterone (female hormones) in her body increase. Then about 1 week before her period starts, levels of both of these hormones begin to fall. The thinking is that these changing hormone levels can lead to PMS symptoms.
It isn't clear why some girls develop PMS and others don't. It's possible that those who develop PMS are simply more sensitive to the changes in hormone levels. There are other theories as well. For example, some believe that what you eat can affect how you feel, especially during the couple of weeks before your period.
Luckily, you can do a few things to ease PMS symptoms. Eating a balanced diet with lots of fresh fruits and vegetables and cutting back on processed foods like chips and crackers can help. You might also want to reduce your salt intake (salt can make you retain water and become more bloated) and, believe it or not, drink more water.
Say no to caffeine (it can make you jumpy and anxious) and yes to plenty of sleep. Getting enough calcium and taking a daily multivitamin can be helpful. Also, daily exercise and stress-relief techniques like meditation can help some girls.
When it comes to medicine, over-the-counter pain medicines like ibuprofen can relieve achy heads and backs. But for really serious PMS pain, see your doctor, who might be able to prescribe a different medicine or birth control pills to help.
Also let your doctor know right away if you feel very depressed or have had any thoughts of hurting yourself.
Lots of girls have abdominal cramps during the first few days of their periods. Cramps are most likely caused by prostaglandins (pronounced: pross-tuh-GLAN-dinz), chemicals your body produces that make the muscles of the uterus contract. The good news is that cramps usually only last a few days. But if you're in pain, medicine like ibuprofen might help.
Exercise also can make you feel better, possibly because it releases endorphins, chemicals in the body that literally make you feel good. Soaking in a warm bath or putting a warm compress on your stomach won't make your cramps disappear but may help your muscles relax a little.
If you have severe cramps that keep you home from school or from doing stuff with your friends, or if over the counter medications aren't working, visit your doctor for advice.
It can take a few years from the time a girl starts menstruating for her body to develop a regular cycle. Even then, what's regular varies — girls' cycles can range from 21 to 45 days.
Changing hormone levels might make your period short one month (such as 2 or 3 days) and more drawn out (such as 7 days) the next. You might skip a month, get two periods almost right after each other, have a really heavy period, or one so light you almost don't notice it. (If you're sexually active and you skip a period, though, you should visit your doctor or a women's clinic to make sure you're not pregnant.)
All this irregularity can make planning for your period a real hassle. Try to keep track of when your last period started, and guess that about 4 weeks from that day you could be due for another. If you're worried about wearing that cute dress and suddenly starting your period at school, just make sure you pack protection. Carry a pad or tampon in your backpack, and wear a pantiliner to handle the first wave.
When it comes to periods, every girl's body has a unique (and unpredictable) timeline for getting on track. If your period still has not settled into a relatively predictable pattern after 3 years, or if you were having regular periods and then become irregular or have no period for a couple of months, make an appointment with your doctor to check for possible problems.
Everybody goes through puberty at different speeds. Some girls begin menstruating as early as age 8 or 9; others don't get going until they're 15. It all depends on your hormones — and your family.
Want to guess when you'll get your period? Ask when your mom and grandmothers (from both sides of your family) started theirs. When you start puberty is partly linked to genetics. So although there's no guarantee that you'll follow in their footsteps, your relatives could give you a clue about your own period.
One thing that can delay puberty — and your period — is excessive exercising, usually distance running, ballet, or gymnastics, combined with a poor diet. For exercise to be excessive, it means more than just playing soccer a few times a week or working out once in a while with an exercise video. To exercise so much that you delay your period, you would have to train vigorously for several hours a day, most days of the week, and not get enough calories, vitamins, and minerals.
Unless compulsive exercise has postponed your period, there's nothing you can do on your own to hurry things along. If you haven't started to menstruate by the time you're 15, consult your doctor. He or she will examine you, and may do a pelvic exam and take a blood test to determine the hormone levels in your body. Different treatments are available depending on what is causing the delay in your period.
Even if it seems strange to you, most of the stuff that goes along with a girl's period is completely normal. But a few conditions can be more serious. If you suspect you have any of these problems, see your doctor for advice.
Amenorrhea is the term doctors use for absence of periods. Girls who haven't started their periods by the time they are 15 may have primary amenorrhea, usually caused by a hormone imbalance or developmental problem.
There's also a condition called secondary amenorrhea, when a girl who had normal periods stops menstruating for at least 3 months. Low levels of gonadotropin-releasing (pronounced: go-nad-uh-TROH-pin) hormone (GnRH), which controls ovulation and the menstrual cycle, frequently bring on amenorrhea.
Stress, anorexia, weight loss or gain, stopping birth control pills, thyroid conditions, and ovarian cysts are examples of things that can throw your hormones out of whack. To get everything back on course, your doctor may use hormone therapy.
If a medical condition is affecting your monthly cycles, then treatment of the condition will help to resolve the problem. As mentioned earlier, lots of strenuous exercise combined with a poor diet can also cause amenorrhea. Cutting back on exercise and eating a balanced diet with more calories will help correct the problem, but be sure to talk with your doctor too.
Menorrhagia (pronounced: meh-nuh-RAY-jee-uh) is the term doctors use for extremely heavy, prolonged periods. Menorrhagia is more than just 1 or 2 days of a heavier-than-average flow. Girls who have menorrhagia soak through at least a pad or tampon an hour for several hours in a row, have blood clots the size of a quarter or more, or have periods that are more than 7 days long. They may need to wear both a tampon and a pad at the same time, or may need to change tampons or pads overnight.
The most frequent cause of menorrhagia is an imbalance between the amounts of estrogen and progesterone in the body. Because of this imbalance, the endometrium (pronounced: en-doh-MEE-tree-um), which is the lining of the uterus, keeps building up. Then when the body gets rid of the endometrium during a period, the bleeding is very heavy.
Many girls have hormone imbalances during puberty, so it's not uncommon to experience menorrhagia during the teen years. Other possible causes of heavy bleeding include thyroid conditions, bleeding disorders, or inflammation or infections in the vagina or cervix.
To help figure out the cause of abnormal bleeding, a doctor may do a pelvic exam, a Pap smear, blood tests, and/or an ultrasound. If you do have menorrhagia, it may be treated with hormones, other medications, or removal of any extra tissue in the uterus that may be the cause of excessive bleeding.
Dysmenorrhea (pronounced: dis-meh-nuh-REE-uh) is the medical term for very painful periods. Primary dysmenorrhea — painful periods that are not caused by a disease or other condition — is more common in teens than secondary dysmenorrhea (painful periods caused by a disease or condition).
The culprit in primary dysmenorrhea is prostaglandin, the same naturally occurring chemical that causes cramps. Sometimes, prostaglandin can cause nausea, vomiting, headaches, backaches, diarrhea, and severe cramps when you have your period.
Fortunately, these symptoms usually only last for a day or two. Doctors usually prescribe anti-inflammatory medicines to treat primary dysmenorrhea. As with cramps, exercise, hot water bottles, and birth control pills might also bring some relief.
Some of the more common conditions that can cause secondary dysmenorrhea include:
For all of these conditions, you'll need a doctor to diagnose what's going on and then give you the treatment that's best for the problem you are having.
When you have questions about your period or anything else related to your development, talk to your doctor. This is particularly true if you notice a change in your menstrual cycle. Though most period problems turn out to be nothing to worry about, it's always good to be safe.
See your doctor if:
Chances are that your painful or irregular periods are nothing to worry about. But if there is something going on, the quicker you get it taken care of, the sooner you'll be on your way to feeling great again.

Scuffling Carter gets a day off
BOSTON -- Astros outfielder/designated hitter Chris Carter was hitting .140 (6-for-43) in his previous 13 games entering Sunday, prompting manager Bo Porter to give the struggling slugger his second day off this season.
Carter has been extremely streaky this year, beginning the season 2-for-21 (.095) before a five-game stretch from April 8-13 in which he hit .478 (11-for-23) with four homers and seven RBIs. Of his six hits since then, he has only one home run.
"I think he will become more consistent," Porter said. "Sometimes, from a manager's standpoint, you take it out of their hands and say, 'I'm going to give you a day.' This was more of a decision to give him a day -- and on top of it give Ronny Cedeno a chance to get more at-bats, as well."
Carter began Sunday with a Major League-leading 43 strikeouts, which was six more than anyone else. He's struck out in nearly half of his 88 at-bats entering Sunday.
"When you look at strikeouts, people always look at the last pitch and they go, 'Wow, he swung at that pitch down and way out of the zone,'" Porter said. "It takes three strikes to strike out. I actually think an adjustment more so needs to be made in strike one and strike two, because he's getting pitches to hit in strike one and strike two and those are balls he's not putting away with authority.
"When he was in his hot streak, you saw exactly what I just said. When he got pitches early in the count and that were in the strike zone, he put them in play and put them in play hard."

Carve Her Name With Pride
Honestly, I picked this one up because of the cover. The title struck me, as did the image of a flaxen-haired beauty brandishing a handgun. This is the true life story of British spy Violette Szabo (Virginia McKenna). Since her real life was gussied up for this film, I am simply going to refer to the film, not her life. Widowed in 1942 (her husband was a French soldier), she is propositioned to act as a liaison between British and French troops. Being fluent in French and athletics, she was a swell candidate. We follow her journey from 1940-1944. It's a nice time-warp to a period when evil was so easily defined. Nazis? Yes, EVIL! Torn between her only daughter and fulfilling her civic duty, she quickly decides to leave the former behind and finish what she felt her husband had been fighting for. We follow her to her unfortunate end in 1944.
I found the film highly enjoyable, in part from the very subtle camera work and non-invasive directing. In a scene when Violette is handed her husband's death letter by her mother, we simply see a door close. This was a very subdued and nice touch that goes along with the slight tension throughout the film. We don't see her reaction to her husband's death, and more importantly we never see McKenna overact. Her military training is fun to watch. Akin to a less nefarious Le Femme Nikita situation. Training montage, nasty drill instructor, and hijinks all included. There is a very striking scene of her wandering the streets of a German occupied French city while on her first mission. A stark contrast to the lightness of her home life in London.Continue Reading

Scaling Races Edit
Introduction Edit
LA sucks hard, everyone knows it. But since LA seems necessary, everyone tolerates it. But the times when we had no other alternatives is over. Here is my LA slayer: scaling races. A way to balance every race to the same level. In fact this variant can be used to tone down powerful races, and allow weaker ones to keep up. After all, you can't give useful late-game stuff to an elf at first level, since it would break the game. But with scaling races, various benefits scale with hit dice. Want a race with teleportation abilities? Want it at LA 0? A while ago it would have been impossible, (unless you add some ridiculous drawback,) but now you can give the race in question a teleportaion ability scaled over level.
Mechanic Edit
Races gain additional benefit when gaining class level or Racial HD. These HDs must be permanent.
Core Races blessed with the System Edit
Races with scaling system Edit

Black Community's Radio Killed
(RIP: Remains of BUFNY's radio station).
On October 22nd, 2006, at 115 Route 23 in
Laying on the ground in front of the small, but adequate, building that Black United Fund of New York had rented for $625.00 a month to house WCKL 560 AM Radio, bought by BUFNY, early in 2003, under my leadership, as founder and CEO were the total contents of the radio station.
The landlord, a Mr. Moon, on October 21st, had reluctantly evicted the Black United Fund's radio station, which was then under the control of Attorney General Eliot Spitzer's latest appointed Black board of directors. The cause: non-payment of rent. The landlord said BUFNY owed him rent from December 2005 through October 2006, totaling $6,875.00. The rains also came the night of October 21st, and all of the equipment had been thoroughly soaked —drowning good works and more hopes and dreams.Â
On the door of the quaint red building was the sheriff's notice which showed that the seized building had been turned back over to the landlord on the above date. Some of the station's removed equipment included: cabinets, microphones, receivers, transmitters, CD-players, computers, tape decks, speakers, clocks, cables of various kinds, operations manuals books, and other radio broadcasting equipment that I am not familiar with enough to name. In other words, an entire radio station worth many thousands of dollars, including a $6,000 dish, was thrown on the ground and exposed to the elements, much like trash.Â
The station signal catchment areas are:
We also had in place and ready to go radio streaming for all who would have preferred or had to listen to WCKL via the Internet throughout the USA and all over the world, and since there was no AM 560 programming from Catskill into New York City, we were prepared to immediately petition the FCC to bring WCKL's diversified programming into the media capital of the world and the center for Black culture.  This was to be a unique experiment in Back empowerment radio under the control of the first black owned not-for-profit radio station in the State of
Looking at a complete radio station on the ground, soaked from rain, I began, again, to wonder what kind of people Spitzer and his Black board and other supporters are, that willingly, or by their silence, endorsed, such a mean spirited and unnecessary act of destruction. This country talks about freedom and democracy in
While reflecting on the program format emanating from
There was also From the Steps of the Capitol, a show designed to have two of our down-State legislators, like, Assemblyman Keith Wright and State Senator David Paterson, bringing information from Albany that would let the community know instantly what was going on in the State legislature, e.g., what new legislation was being introduced that would be helpful or harmful to our community. Much too often our community is in the dark. By the time we get the news out of
Starting at 1 PM, we scheduled high school football. During the winter, we scheduled high school and Columbia-Greene Community College Basketball. What better way to help bring together people and communities in small towns than through sports and building the economy. Plenty of time remained for other innovative formats and program content. This initial format had something for everyone.Â
Keep in mind that the Black United Fund was fully approved by the FCC, with working agreements in place, and with one week before going on air, again Spitzer stepped in to wreak even more havoc and destruction.Â
As I moved throughout
It is shameful that Spitzer's originally appointed Black Republican board from Nassau County consisting of Judge Lance Clark, Betty Easley, Delores Kershaw, Briding Newell and William Davis, Jr., and those that followed (Niles Stewart, James Simmons, Glenda Grace, and Renee Tirado), who served as Spitzer's henchman and did his bidding and dirty work, have not been fully exposed and and punished for the atrocities that they have committed against the Black community.
Congressman Charles Rangel, State Senator David Paterson, Councilwoman Yvette Clark, Assemblyman Keith Wright, Former Manhattan Borough President C. Virginia Fields, and former Mayor David N Dinkins and many others in positions of supposed "influenceâ€? in the power structure, must be listed amongst the traitors and "misleadersâ€? of our people.Â
While we are rightfully concerned about the lack of media outlets to carry our message, it is tragic that those previously named have aided and abetted in the destruction of BUFNY, its more than $100 million assets base, and, particularly, its Black-owned radio station WCKL. It cannot be denied the fact that our independent leadership and institutions have been attacked, co-opted or outright destroyed has contributed greatly to our position of powerlessness. Attorney General Eliot Spitzer heads the list of those that have lead the charge with the support of the false leaders in the Black community —the enemies within.   Â
In light of the blatant acts of favoritism and gratuitous leniency of Eliot Spitzer in his treatment of the leadership at the World Jewish Congress, the Gloria Wise Boys & Girls Club and Air America Radio, and his covering for and, simultaneously, regulating the Bernard and Anne Spitzer Family Trust in his capacity as the Attorney General, there is an identifiable bias towards members of the Jewish community and its institutions. This is in direct and stark contrast to the discriminatory treatment by Spitzer of the leadership and institutions in the Black community.Â
The situation cries out for an investigation. The trail of evidence, betrayals, and abuses of power are there for all to see. We call upon the Attorney General to hold accountable and administer justice to the BUFNY board that has allowed the peoples assets to be squandered and destroyed.
Let none dance upon the graves of those who have gone before us and died for our freedoms today. No one in the Black community should rest until justice is done.

Hopped Up On Goofballs
I haven't been sleeping well lately. Spheres of Chaos has just ensured that isn't going to change any time soon. It's an Asteroids homage that's actually, properly psychedelic. And I don't mean Winamp visualisations or Tempest-esque faux-psychedelic – I mean poking holes in your conciousness, last episode of The Prisoner psychedelic. It's made of explosions of colour that do their best to obfuscate what's going on, soundtracked by the freakish melodies of distorted bell-tolling. It's left me startled and giddy, but thoroughly impressed. Geometry Wars seems laughably pedestrian by comparison.
This indie brain-melter's been around for a while, and formerly carried a pricetag, but creator Iain "If nobody complains about being unable to see the game then I must be doing it wrong" McLeod has now made it freeware, as a sampler for the impending 3D, high res sequel. Going on the screens I'm not convinced 3D entirely suits it, but that may just be because if I look at any more colours right now, I'm going to pass out.

A German film crew for station NDR [Norddeutscher Rundfunk] picked the perfect time to visit New York City for their street gang documentary, LEFTY – ERINNERUNG AN EINEN TOTEN IN BROOKLYN, as the area sweltered through a brutal summer heatwave and the infamous 1977 blackout. For five weeks, director Max H. Rehbein and his crew actually lived in the basement of a Brooklyn house owned by the parents of 'Brother Lou' [Louie Morales], the leader of 'The Sex Boys' (named after the street they hung out on, Essex — after dropping the first two letters), filming many of that gang's most private moments and digging even deeper than the aforementioned ABC special. Unfortunately, the print's narration is in unsubtitled German, but their footage alone makes this an astonishing, 88-minute artifact…
'Lefty' [Charles 'Carlos' Valentine] is the latest 'Sex Boys' casualty, first glimpsed in the Kings County morgue after being stabbed to death near Greenpoint's McCarren Pool. Tempers within the gang are running hot, with Lou trying to keep his soldiers under control. The filmmakers follow them as they strut past razed buildings in their gang colors, leap subway turnstiles, convene a rooftop gang meeting, share brews and joints, perform some general vandalism, and celebrate Lefty's truncated life with street fireworks.
That's intercut with Sgt. Frank Santangelo, from the 75th Precinct's youth gang task force, as he patrols the neighborhood, attempts to 'rap' with gang members and ventures into one of their boarded-up-building clubhouses, in hopes of quelling tensions with 'The Crazy Homicides' from Coney Island. Sometimes helping their community (aiding neighbors during a late-night apartment fire), other times prepping for war (a meeting with 'The Ghetto Brothers' to purchase pistols) and often just having everyday interactions (Louie's gravedigger day job, arguing with girlfriends, getting seriously-ugly tattoos), it's an intimate, unfiltered peek into 'The Sex Boys.'
Without question, the most striking moments occur an hour in, because even a crime-ridden blackout doesn't stop these crazy Germans from venturing into the war-zone-style streets with their cameras — filming Molotov-tossing kids, ransacked stores, looters fighting each other over an armful of clothes, and the overwhelmed police precinct…Rehbein adopts a fly-on-the-wall approach, with German narration and some bizarre synth soundtrack music added in post, and they must've been pounding back shots of Schnaps in the editing room when their tripped-out Halloween-party/haunted-house finale was conceived. From the shocking desolation of the South Bronx, to the bustling Coney Island boardwalk after dark, to Rikers Island — it's all captured with an outsider's inquisitive eyeand an almost TAXI DRIVER-esque amount of nighttime urban imagery. LEFTY is sprawling and unfocused, but also absolutely fascinating. – Shock Cinema

I used to be a technician at a Cadillac dealer. At the time, I was just out of school, and ready to take on the world. Being the youthful new guy and getting paid by the hour (not by flat rate), I got all the jobs that nobody else wanted. This period in time also coincided with what I like to call "the Cadillac Catera era". Lucky me.
The Catera was a really great idea on paper. It was a small car, with rear wheel drive, a DOHC V6, power everything, and it wasn't even that bad looking. They had a firm ride, handled alright, and even had a cool winter driving mode that made driving in the snow slightly less scary. Although I don't feel like it had any business being part of the Cadillac brand, it did have a lot of things going for it.
I was at the dealer when the Cateras started arriving on tow trucks, and I was also the guy fixing the majority of them. Why were they on tow trucks, you ask? Well, because the water pump and timing belt idler bearings failed. The ball bearings would then sprinkle down onto the spinning crankshaft making the timing belt jump time, which then caused catastrophic engine failure. Being an outsider looking in, it was pretty awesome to see. It was especially horrific when this failure happened at highway speeds. I would find mangled valve heads trapped in the catalytic converters, holes in pistons, and timing belt covers that looked like they were removed with a chainsaw. I really wish I had taken pictures of some of it.
Unfortunately for the Cateras, their engines were not their only flaw. For a reason that I still do not know, Cateras have tire issues. The inside edges of the tires are always bald, every time. An alignment to factory specs won't help, so it's no use trying. You just have to learn to appreciate bald tires. Once you get past the whole "driving on bald tires & catastrophic engine failure" thing, you have to think about the rear differentials, because they are weak and frequently spit parts out. They don't do this all the time, just most of the time. I like to think that the differential is so disgusted with the engine that is powering it, that it logically removes itself from the Catera equation. If the car does somehow survive the catastrophic timing belt failure, balding tires, and rear end gear shredding fiasco, there will always be dead coil pack, leaking hot water valve, and busted LED tail light issues to ruin your day.
With all of that being said, someday when I am bored and need a new challenge, I may pick up a Catera (After all, they are dirt cheap for obvious reasons). Then I would just need to stuff an L92 in it with a t-56, and a solid rear axle. That will solve the majority of the issues that the Catera was plagued with. The rest, I can live with.

There was a double billing of Scott and Bailey this week, with the final two episodes of the season airing on Wednesday and Thursday nights. I feel I could write a book about each one, so I'll do my best to contain this. But lord, are there just a lot of feels.
While there was an episodic mystery in Episode 7, the main things that are important to know are: 1) Janet and Rachel are fighting in a way they've never fought before and everything is horrible, and 2) We find out the identity of the mole who's been leaking information about the Helen Bartlett case to the press throughout the series.
Let's examine:
1) Rachel's downward spiral has basically become unstoppable. She's told Sean that after being married for a hot second, she just can't do it. But he's still living in her flat and things seem not completely settled and generally weird. She's been sleeping at Janet's (OBVIOUSLY), which pleases Janet's daughters but begins to ruffle her mother's feathers. It's a full house of estrogen.
Until one night when Rachel gets especially pissed and brings home Kevin for loud sexytimes. Yeah, Kevin! Office doofus Kevin! Janet arrives home to find her daughter standing at the top of the stairwell, looking "as if she'd seen a ghost," trying to get away from her former hero's moans and gasps. Clearly, Janet be ticked, and an absolutely horrible row ensues between her and Rachel in Janet's car, wherein they say the type of cruel things you only say when you are really, really angry or really, really depressed.
It's also the type of fight you can't easily make up from the next day, and their division continues throughout Episode 7 and for most of Episode 8, even getting to the point where Rachel starts talking trash about Janet to other co-workers, which is awful, and both of them act like they can't believe they were ever friends in the first place. As if "friends" even covers what their relationship actually is.
We're thrown a bone though in a hilarious scene in Episode 7 where they're forced to share a car ride for work. After a short and nasty exchange where Janet makes it clear she's not going to speak to Rachel unless she has to, she then turns on the radio which hilariously blares the Wannadies "You and Me Song," which is that song from the Romeo & Juliet soundtrack which goes, "You and me always — AND FOREVER!" Rachel casts the radio a disgruntled look.
While this mini-breakup is heartbreaking in its own right, what really gets me down is Rachel herself in this story arc. She's never been very discriminating in who she shags, of course, and so I'm not necessarily disgusted that she got it on with Kevin or anything. But I've always liked to think of her as a character who can't be tied down, who needs to have independence and wants to have a lot of sex with whomever she wants, all because that's simply who she is — a female character on TV that represents the women who don't need (or want) to have the loyal partner and the house and kids. But this season, these sexual trysts are all clearly done simply because she's a mess. When she admits everything she's done to Sean in Episode 7, she also essentially tells him that there's no one who hates her more than herself.
And maybe we've always known that, and maybe it's just that Janet's love for her has helped balance that, and without Janet's love, things just really bottom out. But it seems hard to take.

On Wednesday, in a hangar on Eglin Air Force Base, the military�s newest stealth aircraft, the F-35, will line up facing one of the military�s first twin-engine bombers, the World War II-era B-25.
EGLIN AFB � It�s not often that history comes nose to nose with the future.
On Wednesday, in a hangar on Eglin Air Force Base, the military�s newest stealth aircraft, the F-35, will line up facing one of the military�s first twin-engine bombers, the World War II-era B-25.
The Air Force�s 33rd Fighter Wing planned the historic pairing as part of their ceremony to dedicate an F-35 hangar to Ret. Lt. Col. Ed Saylor, one of the last surviving Doolittle Raiders, who will be in town for their 71st and final reunion this week.
�This is a tremendous honor to have these war heroes in our presence,� said Lt. Col. Maurice Lee, commander of the 33rd Aircraft Maintenance Squadron who helped plan the dedication.
The hangar that will be dedicated to Saylor is where the F-35 gets worked on every day � a fitting tribute to Saylor, who was a maintenance crew chief for one of the 16 crews that participated in the famous raid, Lee said.
On April 18, 1942, 80 airmen took off in B-25s from the USS Hornet to scatter bombs over Tokyo. It was the first American attack on Japan after Pearl Harbor.
The Raiders trained for the mission at Eglin Air Force Base, specifically on how to conduct short takeoffs from atop an aircraft carrier.
Shortly before they were to take off the day of the Raid, Saylor�s B-25, No. 15, had an engine malfunction that threatened to ground his crew from the mission. Lt. Col. Jimmy Doolittle, who was heading up the mission, asked Saylor to attempt to repair it.
Saylor said he would do his best given the type of maintenance required had always been performed on land � never on the deck of an aircraft carrier in the middle of the ocean.
If he could not fix it, they planned to push the plane off the boat and send it sinking to the bottom of the sea.
After some troubleshooting, Saylor discovered the engine keys had fallen out. On the windy and pitching deck of the boat, he located the engine keys, removed the engine, rebuilt it and reinstalled it.
It worked. Saylor boarded the plane and all 16 crews were able to take off on the mission.
�Because of his mechanical ability, they were able to have 16 aircraft participate instead of 15,� Lee said.
None were assured of making it home. In fact, they all knew they did not have enough gas to return to the boat, but they all took off anyway.
Lee said that aspect of the mission is inspirational.
�They flew off the carrier hoping they would land in China, but that wasn�t for certain,� Lee said. �They knew they might not make it back home at all. That is tremendous.�
Saylor, now 95, will be traveling with family from Seattle to Fort Walton Beach for the reunion this week and will attend the ceremony.
Two more of the four surviving Raiders, Ret. Col. Dick Cole and Staff Sgt. David Thatcher, will also attend the ceremony.
Barring any inclement weather, the B-25 should also arrive at Eglin Wednesday for the ceremony and will be parked in the hangar beside the F-35.
The B-25 has a larger wing span than the compact, single-seat F-35, but the biggest differences between the two are in design and technology, Lee said.
�Things that folks could only dream of in the �40s and �30s are now actually possible with the aid of computer design,� he said.
He said having both the B-25 and the Air Force�s latest weapons system next to each other will be a unique experience.
�I don�t know the next time something like this will happen again. It could be once in a lifetime.�

Dick Trickle, a former NASCAR driver whose larger-than-life personality and penchant for fun won him legions of fans despite a lack of success beyond the nation's small tracks, died Thursday of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound, authorities said. He was 71.
The Lincoln County Sheriff's Office said authorities received a call believed to be from Trickle, who said "there would be a dead body and it would be his." Authorities tried to call the number back, but no one answered.
Trickle's body was found near his pickup truck at Forest Lawn Cemetery in Boger City, N.C., about 40 miles northwest of Charlotte. Sheriff's Lieutenant Tim Johnson said foul play was not suspected.
"Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family and friends of Dick Trickle on his passing today," said NASCAR Chairman and CEO Brian France. "Dick was a legend in the short-track racing community, particularly in his home state of Wisconsin, and he was a true fan favorite. Personalities like Dick Trickle helped shape our sport. He will be missed."
Trickle earned his reputation as a successful short track driver before joining the Winston Cup series and earning rookie of the year in 1989 at age 48.
He competed in more than 300 Cup races. Although he never won a Cup race and won just two Busch Series races, Trickle earned cult status. Former ESPN anchor Keith Olbermann would regularly mention where Trickle finished after each NASCAR race.
Former NASCAR driver Geoff Bodine said there was only one way to describe Trickle, a native of Wisconsin Rapids, Wis.
"Fun," Bodine said. "Just plain fun."

Water, and more specifically Clean Water is a major area of focus in Baltimore this week. Rightly so. We all understand that we rely on access to clean water for not only life itself, but our quality of life as well. The water that we drink and that makes up the natural systems that surround us is intricately linked to our health and well-being. It is this undeniable fact that is the focus of many events happening in our great city in these next few days.
The week started off with the unveiling of Baltimore's Annual Healthy Harbor Report Card. The "report card" is an annual milestone report focused on the ultimate goal of making the harbor Fishable and Swimmable by 2020. The Baltimore Harbor was given a grade of C- in 2012, with most water quality indicators (dissolved oxygen, water clarity, nutrient levels, etc.) squarely in the C-D range. According to the monitoring data, the Baltimore Harbor only met water quality standards 40 percent of the time. Despite the less-than-stellar grades, we must realize that natural systems take time to "bounce back." We cannot reverse centuries of abuse in the course of a couple of years. We are in this for the long-term after all and if we pay attention and continue to work together and take responsibility for our role in clean water, we will see our efforts pay off.
Mid-week, the Choose Clean Water Coalition Annual Conference will also begin right here in Baltimore. The focus of the coalition is to serve as a strong, united, effective advocate for restoring the thousands of streams and rivers flowing to the Chesapeake Bay by coordinating policy, message action and accountability for clean water at the federal, state and local levels. The National Aquarium has been a member of the coalition almost since its inception and we are excited to help host this year! More than 275 representatives from organizations and governments from all over the Chesapeake Bay watershed will learn from some of the innovative initiatives developed in our city and elsewhere. It is an important chance to share common strategies and priorities so that we can build upon the work of each other to more effectively face our challenges and ultimately help improve our local streams, rivers and the Bay.
Finally, Baltimore City, like many other jurisdictions in Maryland is considering the establishment of a stormwater utility or Water Pollution Reduction Fee. The utility will be the major topic of discussion at the June 11th City Council meeting. The purpose of the utility will be to create a sustainable model that will allow our city to finance the repair and replacement of aging stormwater pipe systems currently in place and to implement innovative and effective stormwater reduction strategies that will clean our polluted stormwater runoff before it gets to the local streams. Now is not the time to debate the need for such a utility, legally the city is required to do this or face large fines; now is the time to let our city council know that we care about clean water and healthy communities.
Again, we all understand that we rely on access to clean water for not only life itself, but our quality of life as well. The water that we drink and that makes up the natural systems that surround us is intricately linked to our health and well-being.
The activity here in Baltimore this week reaffirms the critical concept that we have the power to CHOOSE clean water. We have the power to make individual choices that improve water quality (choices centered around your home, your work, your commute). We have the power to take collective actions to ensure healthy water supplies (volunteer in community cleanup and restoration efforts, use your purchasing power to stand up for clean water, etc.). We have the power to support our local governments in their efforts to provide communities access to clean water. – or we have the power to do nothing. Which are you going to choose?

First Look: Farm Table Dinners at Terrain in Glen Mills, PA
For those who haven't had a chance to visit Terrain in Glen Mills, Pennsylvania, it's a bit tricky to convey the magic of the place. It's a garden center and nursery, a shop stocking kitchenwares and edibles, a place with one of the most expertly curated cookbook selections I've ever encountered, oh, and it's also home to an incredible restaurant where meals are had in a lush candlelit greenhouse.
And did I mention that they host a series of monthly events with cookbook authors and food artisans?
If you've visited New York's ABC Carpet and Home and dined at ABC Kitchen, this is similar, just add a nursery filled with gorgeous growables and a historic mushroom house.
This fall Terrain is introducing a series of Farm Table dinners in their Styer's Garden Café with menus created by chef Keith Rudolf who is taking full advantage of his prime produce source in the Brandywine Valley.
The first one is happening on October 5th but we had a chance to sneak a peek at some of what Rudolf will be serving.
Beginning with a brioche baked in a flower pot and served with a lavender honey butter sprinkled with smoked sea salt, the meals will feature produce from Happy Cat Organics, Lancaster Farm Fresh, a co-op of eastern Pennsylvania farmers, and cheeses from Doe Run Dairy.
Rudolf is creating an impromptu seasonal menu, taking inspiration from what's on hand during the days leading the first Farm Table dinner. But you can expect to see plenty of local mushrooms due to Terrain's proximity to Mushroom Country U.S.A., perhaps in the form of a deeply earthy and wonderfully simple Mushroom Soup finished with Porcini Oil. And we can only hope that he'll be serving Local Trout with Quinoa and a Beet-Coriander Purée and perfectly delicate Financier with Sun Dried Cherry and Rosemary Compote that we enjoyed during a recent dinner.
To circumvent Pennsylvania's tricky liquor laws as well as round out the local flavor of this event, the seven-course dinner will be paired with wines from local wineries including Paradocx Vineyard and Va La Winery, all included in the price of the meal.
It's an easy drive from both Philadelphia and Wilmington, Delaware, but be sure to give yourself plenty of browsing time beforehand to check out all of the lovely culinary and garden offerings to be had.

Bill de Blasio makes 'Daily Show' debut, eats pizza with Jon Stewart
Bill de Blasio took part in a New York City political rite of passage Monday, appearing on a late night talk show to tout his record and poke fun at a few gaffes that have provided fodder for comics during his first month as mayor.
De Blasio was a guest on Comedy Central's "The Daily Show," where host Jon Stewart tweaked the mayor for his handling of a recent snow storm and his use of a knife and fork to eat pizza.
A photo of the liberal mayor using utensils instead of the traditional New York method of grabbing a slice with his hands went viral last month and sent Stewart into a spasm of mock outrage, saying "you're a man of the people, eat like one!" During the taping of Monday's show, Stewart presented de Blasio with a pizza, but the mayor responded to the good-natured test with a prop of his own, whipping out a knife and fork from his jacket to laughter from the studio audience.
"As mayor of Napoli — I mean, New York City — we are always ready for our pizza," de Blasio said in the show that was set to air Monday night. The mayor had explained his pizza consumption style as a nod to his "ancestral homeland" of Italy.
De Blasio then used his hands to bite into a slice as Stewart slurped on a giant soda that the mayor's predecessor, Michael Bloomberg, had tried to ban.
As snow fell outside the Manhattan studio, Stewart noted that it was already the third storm since de Blasio took office on Jan. 1, saying it "never snowed once" during the billionaire Bloomberg's 12 years in office.
"I think he paid the right guy," de Blasio responded. "I mean, he has the money."
De Blasio, a Democrat, had acknowledged that the city had not done a good job plowing the Upper East Side during a recent storm and played along with a bit that he had ordered more snow dumped in the wealthy neighborhood. He also added that "we have an experimental effort to get locusts up in there."
Unlike the normally staid Bloomberg, de Blasio frequently jokes around at his press conferences. His jokes, which often fall under the heading of "Dad humor," have a mixed success rate with the press corps, sometimes eliciting chuckles, other times groans.
He was eager to show off his wit to Stewart, who suggested that the mayor's strongly liberal views had him putting up "posters of Lenin, Stalin" at his City Hall office.
"The Che Guevara posters are very popular, they really are," de Blasio retorted.
This appearance was de Blasio's talk show debut. Bloomberg did the late night talk show circuit with some frequency, chatting with hosts ranging from Stewart to David Letterman to Jimmy Fallon and making an appearance on "Saturday Night Live." Stewart, who once was a college roommate of failed mayoral candidate Anthony Weiner, has frequently joked about his love for de Blasio and his Afro-sporting teenage son.
De Blasio was far more serious earlier in the day when he said he will soon unveil new steps in his campaign to combat income inequality.
De Blasio told WNYC radio that he plans to improve the city's living wage policy and will reveal other proposals during his first State of the City address next Monday.

W H Andrews qualified as a veterinarian in London in 1908 and was recruited soon after, in 1909, by Sir Arnold Theiler to join the staff of the newly established veterinary laboratory at Onderstepoort. After initial studies on the treatment of trypanosomosis and on snake venoms he was deployed by Theiler in 1911 to start research on lamsiekte (botulism) at a field station on the farm Kaffraria near Christiana, where he met and married his wife Doris. After a stint as Captain in the SA Veterinary Corps during World War I he succeeded D T Mitchell as head of the Allerton Laboratory in 1918, where he excelled in research on toxic plants, inter alia identifying Matricaria nigellaefolia as the cause of staggers in cattle. When the Faculty of Veterinary Science was established in 1920 he was appointed as the first Professor of Physiology. After the graduation of the first class in 1924, and due to health problems, he returned to the UK, first to the Royal Veterinary College and then to the Weybridge Veterinary Laboratories of which he became Director in 1927. After his retirement in 1947 he returned to South Africa as a guest worker at Onderstepoort where he again became involved in teaching physiology when Prof. Quin unexpectedly died in 1950. Andrews died in Pretoria in 1953 and was buried in the Rebecca Street Cemetery.
Keywords: first Professor in Physiology, Onderstepoort Faculty, W H Andrews.
After attending the 9th International Veterinary Congress in The Hague in 1909, Sir Arnold Theiler visited the UK to check on the progress of the 1st batch of South African students, P R Viljoen, G de Kock and G F Marais, sent by the government to study veterinary science. During this trip he took the opportunity to recruit 3 promising young British researchers to strengthen the staff of the newly-established 'Veterinary Bacteriological Laboratories of the Transvaal', as it was then called13. In London he selected W H Andrews and D T Mitchell, in Dublin Daniel Kehoe, a promising young serologist who had graduated with distinction. Andrews had also been an outstanding student at the Royal Veterinary College; he received a Class Medal for Physiology in 1905/06 and numerous First Class Certificates of Merit during his studies11. After graduating in 1908 with an MRCVS diploma he was awarded a Jubilee Memorial Bursary and spent a year (1908/09) in Paris studying at the Veterinary School of Alfort and also at the Institut Pasteur, where he studied Microbiology. In August 1909 he returned to London to receive a BSc in Veterinary Science from the University of London, following which he joined the laboratory of Sir John McFadyean in the new Research Institute for Animal Pathology11, 14. By December 1909 he had been appointed Assistant Government Veterinary Bacteriologist in South Africa by Theiler11.
There is some uncertainty as to the date of his arrival at Onderstepoort. Gutsche relates a widely-told story that when Theiler fetched Andrews from the Pretoria station in 1910 he utilised the 10 mile drive to Onderstepoort to inform him of his duties, which would take every hour of every day, concluding with 'and in your spare time you will study snake venom'13. While revealing the character of Theiler, the date mentioned in the anecdote seems to be incorrect as a picture postcard annotated by Andrews featuring the 'hostel' or single quarters at Onderstepoort specifically states that he arrived there in December 1909, staying until October 191111. This is consistent with his account as set out in a later job application (which is undated but in which his age is stated as 38, placing it around 1925). In October 1910 he was elected as an ordinary member of the Royal Society of South Africa, indicating recognition of his scientific standing11.
His first task was to complete a study started by Sieber on the treatment of trypanosomosis with 3 newly-available drugs. Two of these were found to be 'useful' in treating T. congolense -type infections in horses, cattle and sheep, although the cattle remained carriers. This work was reported in the 2nd report of the Director of Veterinary Services in 19121. Apparently he did have spare time available as he also reported in the same issue on a series of experiments with snakes, determining their toxicity, the characteristics of their venom, their differential diagnosis and treatment2. This work was also published in the SA Journal of Science in 19133and in more popular form in the Journal of Agriculture in 19236.
By 1911 lamsiekte had become the most important animal disease in South Africa, effectively preventing cattle farming in the arid western parts of the country, and Onderstepoort was widely criticised for its inability to find a solution. In reaction Theiler established a field station on a farm called Kaffraria near Christiana in the then western Transvaal and put Andrews in charge, probably in October 1911, when he left Onderstepoort according to the postcard mentioned above. For the next 6 years he conducted feeding experiments there, apparently with little success, although Theiler later acknowledged his contribution to lamsiekte research on 2 occasions. Later in 1911 the farm Armoedsvlakte near Vryburg was offered to Theiler free of charge for a year for experimental purposes and when it was eventually bought by the government in 1916 for establishing a permanent lamsiekte experimental research station, Kaffraria was apparently phased out13. When Theiler left for a year's study leave in Switzerland in September 1912 the rest of his staff remained focused on the disease. Upon his return he brought with him H H Green, a biochemist, who was first introduced to Armoedsvlakte before moving to Onderstepoort for biochemical studies on the disease13.
In 1912, following the union of the South African colonies and the Boer republics of the Transvaal and the Orange Free State, he was appointed Veterinary Research Officer in the new Division of Veterinary Research of the Union of South Africa. Of interest from this time is a 5-page handwritten history of the SA veterinary service, entitled 'The Veterinary Profession in South Africa', probably dated 1912. During this period Andrews met and in 1916 married his wife Doris Alice Brinks Burls, who was living at Burlington farm adjoining Kaffraria, near Christiana11.
According to a brief biography published in The Veterinary Record in 1927, he joined the South African Veterinary Corps as Captain and Officer-in-Charge of No. 1 Section in 1914, seeing service in German South West Africa and being mentioned in dispatches11. That same year he published a paper on 'Bloed Pens' in lambs4. Among his surviving papers are 2 handwritten reports to the Director of Veterinary Services relating the Veterinary Corps' activities including diseases encountered and treatments administered. The 1st covered the area between Prieska and Upington between October 16 and November 17 in 1914, the 2nd an exercise in the vicinity of Upington, Rouxville and Rooidam from November 18 to December 2, 1915. Confirmation of his military involvement is found in a letter dated 14th May 1923 outlining his discharge from the Pretoria Regiment of the 12th Infantry Battalion and his transfer to the reserve of officers of the Veterinary Corps with the rank of Captain11. Apparently his health subsequently deteriorated and in 1917 broke down with the result that he left for England on 6 months sick leave (later extended to 8 months) in October 191713.
In the spring of 1918 Montgomery, who had succeeded Theiler as Director, faced a staff crisis.PRViljoen had left Armoedsvlakte for a position at the Transvaal University College, D Kehoe returned to Ireland, F Veglia had not yet returned from Italy where he performed military duties, G De Kock had decided to study medicine and J Walker had moved to Kenya to replace Montgomery. Walker was replaced in turn by D T Mitchell from Allerton, leaving both Armoedsvlakte and Allerton laboratories leaderless13. When Andrews returned from sick leave he was therefore transferred to Pietermaritzburg in charge of Allerton where he performed his most successful research, including the identification of Matricaria nigellaefolia as the cause of 'staggers' in cattle5and a report on the toxicity of Adenia digitata Burtt-Davy, in collaboration with H H Green12. In 1920/21 he served on the 1st council of the newly established South African Veterinary Medical Association13.
When the establishment of a Veterinary Faculty at Onderstepoort was approved early in 1920, Andrews was nominated as Professor in Physiology by the newly-appointed Dean, Arnold Theiler, although he also remained a Senior Research Officer13. In a letter dated September 1, 1920, he received a note of ratification from Theiler (Fig. 2). As in the case of Theiler and the other appointees he was awarded a year's study leave abroad to prepare himself for his new duties. He studied advanced Physiology at the University of London and in 1921, according to a surviving letter from its registrar, had a DSc in Science conferred upon him11. In 1922 the first students arrived at Onderstepoort for the final 3 years of their study. Unfortunately, because of continued health problems, it was also the only class that he would guide until their graduation in 1924. In May of that year the Secretary of Agriculture approved his resignation on ill health grounds13.
In fact he had already received an offer in January 1924 to become Senior Assistant at the Research Institute of the Royal Veterinary College in London. Following his return to the UK he was in addition offered a Clement Stephenson Research Scholarship to enhance his salary at the Royal College11. During this period he published an extensive review of animal diseases in South Africa7.
Following the death of the Chief Veterinary Officer in the UK, Sir Stewart Stockman, the duties of that post were split and W H Andrews was appointed as Director of Research and Head of the Weybridge laboratories. His referees were Sir John McFadyean and Sir Arnold Theiler, and he took up his post in 1927. During this period of his career he worked more closely with medical colleagues, lecturing at the Royal Society of Medicine on plant poisoning in 19268and on trypanosomosis in 19279. In 1928 he was appointed as an Examiner for the Membership of the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons11.
In 1929 Andrews was appointed as Director of the Imperial Bureaux of Animal Health at Weybridge and also attended the Pan African Agricultural and Veterinary Congress in Pretoria as United Kingdom representative11, 14. His achievements during the 1930s consisted of building up Weybridge and also establishing the satellite station at Pirbright where, as Director of Weybridge, he was responsible for its research work. This included its activity as the main research arm of the Foot-and-Mouth Disease Research Committee as reported in its 3rd, 4th (1931) and 5th (1935) reports10.
During 1931 Andrews encountered serious recruitment problems at both Weybridge and Pirbright and wrote to the Chief Veterinary Officer to highlight the problem, explaining that veterinary workers should be treated differently from agricultural workers in terms of pay and conditions. Despite these difficulties Andrews was successful in expanding facilities at Weybridge. Wings were added to the west and east of the main building, projecting northwards and providing much laboratory space, and additional adjacent farmland of 133 acres was purchased. In his position as Director of Veterinary Research he had to give many lectures on a variety of topics, including 'Vaccination against Bovine Contagious Abortion' and 'The Relation of this Disease to Undulant Fever of Man' at the N.V.M.A. Congress 1932. At the 11th International Veterinary Congress in London he lectured on current thoughts on foot-and-mouth disease11,14.
During this period he continued to serve on other eminent bodies. In March 1931 he was selected as a UK representative at the Second International Congress of Comparative Pathology (held in Paris in October 1931), supporting Sir Walter Fletcher, KBE, CB, FRS. By 1932 he served on the Council of the Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene and was present at the opening of their new headquarters Manson House by the Prince of Wales in March of that year.
Ill health was to trouble him again, apparently triggered by funding difficulties for the laboratories, and he went off sick in October 1937. Nevertheless, during World War II he served as an officer in the Home Guard, rising to the rank of Lieutenant in 'C' Company, 3rd Battalion, First Surrey Home Guard. In 1941 he moved to the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries in London to assist with the management of veterinary matters during the war, necessitating his resignation as head of the Imperial Bureaux in Weybridge and as Lieutenant in the Home Guard.
Retiring from the Ministry aged 60 in June 194714he returned to South Africa as a guest worker at Onderstepoort, living in Pretoria with his South African wife. A detailed record of his plans and activities is contained in correspondence with his sonWHH Andrews. For example, in late 1947 he was living in the Hellenic Hotel in Pretoria and giving a lecture at 11.10 am at Onderstepoort11.
During his final years he spent much time at Onderstepoort, living at the Wonderboom Government Village at Ficus, north of Pretoria, and began further research activity on neuromuscular transmission. When Dr J I Quin, Professor of Physiology at the Faculty of Veterinary Science and newly appointed Director of Onderstepoort, unexpectedly died in service in March 1950, Dr Andrews was fortunately available to take over his teaching duties until a permanent appointment could be made. He died on 17th March 1953 in Pretoria and is buried in the Rebecca Street Cemetery, Pretoria West11.

text: I'm in Canton, Mass. this week for a training class. Loe and behold.... No snow! I mean hardly any. Snowbanks and a little ice. There was more snow in the bed of my pickup from Monday's storm than there is in the parking lot of my hotel. In fact, I took a little grief for it. :) I've now added Mass and R.I. to the states that I've cached in. Today it was 55 degrees, I was in Lincoln, R.I. doing way to much unnessesary bushwacking wearing no coat at all. The snow line was right about at the Mass/N.H. border. If anyone needs a spring fix, I'd drive down here. Any guesses when we will have such ice and snow free weather? My guess, April 21st. :(

Made in Calgary: The 1970s
May 25 - August 11, 2013
In the 1970s Calgary grew up, way up.
Thanks to a petroleum-fueled economic boom, the city saw unprecedented change. In the span of a decade, the province's population increased by a third, and our city's skyline scaled new heights, superseding even Chicago and New York in the annual amount of construction permits issued.
Calgary's burgeoning local art scene mirrored the city's ambition and growth. The 1970s saw the opening of a new building for the Alberta College of Art, a new arts department at the University of Calgary, and a new home for Glenbow Museum.
An adventurous spirit resonates through the works on display in Made in Calgary: The 1970s, revealing an artistic community in full embrace of many new avenues of expression.
Curated by Calgary artist and curator Ron Moppett, this second installment of the Made in Calgary exhibition series shows how in the 1970s, Calgary artists were exploring new mediums and idea-based art not rooted in the tradition of representation.
Although traditional materials such wood and canvas still dominated art practices in Western Canada, an influx of new ideas inspired the exploration different materials and forms, from plastic to video to performance art.
There were many more opportunities (more galleries, more interest) for artists to exhibit and sell their work, both in Calgary and beyond. Corporations and arts institutions were buying Canadian art to build collections.
For the first time, Calgary artists were able to entertain the notion of a full-time career in art making, rather than relying on being an art instructor or having another "day job."
Such significant shifts in the attitudes of local artists in their perceptions of themselves and their work were par for the course in the '70s. As the city expanded upwards and outwards, so did the ambitions of its most creative citizens, gaining them recognition and respect both here at home and across Canada.
60 artists are included in this exhibition:
Barbara Ballachey, Derek Besant, Marcella Bienvenue, Albert Borch, Jim Brodie, Brenda Campbell, Joane Cardinal-Schubert, John Chalke, John Coleman, Peter Deacon, Walter Drohan, Brian Dyson, Annemarie Schmid Esler, John Kenneth Esler, Harold Feist Dulcie, Foo Fat, David James Gilhooly, Ted Godwin, Alexandra Haeseker, John Hall, Joice Hall, Patrick Hurst, Gerald Hushlak, Yousuf Karsh, Illingworth Kerr, Harry Kiyooka, Ron Kostyniuk, William J. H. Laing, Don Mabie, Walter May C.S. McConnell, Rita McKeough, George Mihalcheon, Bill Morton, James Nicoll, Arthur Nishimura, Bruce O'Neil, Katie Ohe, Gary Olson, Frank Palmer, Stanford Perrott, Clive Robertson, Michael Sandle, Norboro Sawai, Mary Elizabeth Scott, Margaret Shelton, John Snow, Jeffery Spalding, Ronald Gyo-Zo Spickett, Caroll Taylor-Lindoe, Wendy Toogood, Gary Tucker, James Ulrich, Rolf Ungstad, Frank Vervoort, George Webber, John Will, Mary Shannon Will, George Wood, Paul Woodrow

"I've always been focused on doing my own thing," he said.
With a wife and three children, Castagna keeps his day job working at a shipyard in New Jersey where he maintains healthcare to cover his family. He drives from his job to his 150-square-foot brewery in Queens that has been churning out beer since September of 2012.
"It's a small space," he said. "The brewery is pretty much a single-man operation."
The only other employee at the brewery is his wife, who helps him with the paperwork.
Bridge and Tunnel beer is available at area bars and even a few restaurants. With just over 20 clients, Castagna said he wants to grow, but has to maintain a balance between his day job and the brewery.
"I want it to play a larger role in my life but I have to balance it with my full-time job," he said. "But I'm definitely not letting go of this."
Growing up a Queens resident, Castagna said he was tired of hearing the term "bridge and tunnel" associated negatively with people who live in the outer boroughs.
"I wanted to spin it in a positive way," he said. "I'm subtly suggesting that bridges and tunnels unite the city and do not divide it."
With ten different styles, including milk and oatmeal stout, hazelnut brown ale and even a chipotle beer, being brewed in his 48-gallon kit, Castagna is excited to see what the future has in store.
"This was a dream for me," he said. "This is what I'm doing now and it feels good."

Quattroruote, the same Italian magazine that leaked shots of Lamborghini's SUV, has now dropped the official photos of Pininfarina's three-door diesel-turbine-hybrid concept car, the Cambiano, that we were supposed to see at the Geneva Motor Show next week.
The last time we saw the Cambiano, named after the Italian styling house's home town, it was hanging out in the desert with some ribbons, but now we can not only get a full view of the body, the interior and the styling sketches.
Pininfarina claims that the Cambiano is inspired by the carrozzeria's landmark 1957 Lancia Florida, but all we can see that it shares is some semblance of its inset rear window and swooping rear pillars. It's nowhere near as groundbreaking as the Florida, but at the Camiano is at least one of the more attractive high-tech hybrid cars we've seen. It might look like a cross between a Fisker Karma and Chevy's Chevelle concept car from a few years back, but that's not a bad thing.
We had trouble gleaning more information from the google translated page, but Pininfarina claims that the Cambiano will hit 0-62 in 4.2 seconds, that it has four 80 horsepower (60kW) electric motors at the wheels, and that it has a front-mounted diesel turbine to act as a generator when the batteries run down. Weight is pegged at about 3,700 pounds and it's over sixteen feet long.
We're looking forward to seeing this thing at the Geneva Motor Show, if only to beg Pininfarina to make it into the next Lancia flagship.

The iconic songstress Chaka Khan recently talked about her upbringing in a recent interveiw with a UK newspaper. The ten time Grammy winner explained that she was raised in quite a liberal household stating that "My father and I used to smoke weed together. It probably wasn't a good thing, but my father was a hippy and that was back in the day when a lot of parents were of the opinion that they should provide their kids with whatever they experimented with."
Chaka is in the UK promoting her recent album Funk This which was released in the US in September last year.

Hooliganism became the word on everyone's lips today after an FA Cup semifinal in which the action in the Wembley Stadium stands overshadowed that on the pitch.
Wigan won 2-0 to advance to their first ever FA Cup Final, but the Latics' achievement is only secondary to the images of brawling and blood amongst angry Millwall supporters who fought London coppers and themselves.
Hooliganism is a long Millwall tradition, so this isn't all that surprising—even if, as Goal.com alleges, it's the worst violence ever seen in the "new" Wembley.
