|Frabato The Magician
Franz Bardon
1996 173p. Though cast in the form of a novel, Frabato the Magician is in fact the spiritual autobiography of Franz Bardon, one of the twentieth century's greatest Hermetic adepts. Frabato was the author's stage name during his career as a performing magician, and it is Frabato who occupies center stage in the novel as well. Set in Dresden, Germany, in the early 1930s, the story chronicles Frabato's magical battles with the members of a powerful and dangerous black lodge, his escape from Germany during the final desperate days of the Weimar Republic, and the beginning of the spiritual mission which was to culminate in Franz Bardon's classic books on Hermetic magic. More than an occult novel, Frabato the Magician is itself a work of magic which illuminates Bardon's other books as well as providing a revealing look into the dark occult forces which lay behind the rise of the Third Reich.

|Initiation Into Hermetics: A Course of Instruction of Magic Theory & Practice
Franz Bardon
1999 287p. Initiation into Hermetics is the entrance gate to true initiation as it is the first key to the universal laws. The content of this book is not based on any speculative methods, but is the result of personal experiences and research of practical exercises by the author, which, up to now, was available only to a chosen few. And it is not easy to express in simple words a subject which is on such high level as magic, and make it understandable to everyone. Initiation into Hermetics transcends any book ever written on this subject, even though it is only the first of three volumes. From this statement you can gather the wealth of information the other volumes contain. Never before in the history of mankind has this information been committed in this form to paper in such a complete and understandable manner. Initiation into Hermetics is the greatest treasure in this universe and this applies to the other two volumes as well. The reader will not find this information in any other books.

|The Key To The True Kabbalah: The Kabbalist As A Perfected Sovereign In the Microcosm & The Macrocosm
Franz Bardon
1996 279p. In The Key to the True Kabbalah, Franz Bardon demonstrates that the mysticism of letters and numbers the true Kabbalah is a universal teaching of great antiquity and depth. Throughout the ages, adepts of every time and place have achieved the highest levels of magical attainment through the understanding of sound, color, number and vibration as embodied in the Kabbalah. This book, the third in Franz Bardon's remarkable texts of Hermetic magic, is nothing less than a practical guide to such attainment. Using the common German alphabet, Bardon guides the reader through ever greater levels of Kabbalistic achievement. No other available text reveals as great a depth of Kabbalistic wisdom or provides the reader with as much practical training. Though intended primarily as a working text for those who have completed Bardon's first and second volumes, Initiation Into Hermetics and The Practice of Magical Evocation, the present work stands on its own, and even those without the requisite background in practical Hermetics will be fascinated by the author's intellectual journey through the mysticism of Tantric India, Tibet, the Hebrew Kabbalah, and the ancient sources of the Western magical tradition.

|Questions & Answers
Franz Bardon
1998 99p. Franz Bardon is regarded by many as greatest Hermetic adept of the 20th century. A tireless worker for the light, he survived Hitler's concentration camps but died a victim of Communist persecution in 1958. He left behind him four legendary books which have become acknowledged classics of occult literature. This present volume is the first complete Bardon book from the hand of Franz Bardon to appear since his famous series of books on Hermetics. Compiled by Dieter Rueggeberg from the notes of Bardon's students in Prague, it represents his oral teachings on the nature of the magical universe. Set in the form of questions and answers, this book is an invaluable addition to the Bardon material.

Leigh J. McCloskey
2003 1st Edition. Quarto, High Quality Cloth w/Dust Jacket. In TAROT reVISIONed, Leigh J. McCloskey has created an entirely new and unique series of drawings representing the twenty-two archetypes of the Major Arcana of the Tarot. A culmination of a seventeen year creative process, this work reveals a depth and acuity of vision that is both original and profound. The text of the manuscript consists of commentaries which examine traditional meanings and attributions connected with each Tarot archetype, as well as introducing new and insightful material that lends a deeper significance to the Tarot Tradition. Each commentary explores how the Tarot expresses both transcendental and individual qualities of consciousness, analyzing the mythological and esoteric, as well as considering how the archetypes interact and influence personal reality and experience. Following each commentary is a detailed examination and explanation of the symbolism and content of each drawing. The manuscript, approximately 90,000 words, is comprised of twenty-two chapters, an introduction and contains a forward by Stanislas Klossowski de Rola, the internationally recognized scholar and author of The Golden Game and Alchemy: The Secret Art. Leigh is a dear friend of Sacred Science Institute and is one of the most exceptional artists we have ever seen, and in this book, he publishes, for the first time, his pen and ink drawings of the Major Arcana of the Tarot.

Dinesh Subasinghe's primary work before leaving for
top Music Academy in Chennai:
Ruwini JAYAWARDANA
President Mahinda Rajapaksa inspects
the Ravanahatha during the release of Ravana Nada. Ven.
Athuraliye Rathana, Bhikshuni Kusuma and Dinesh are also in
the picture.
Music was already in his blood for he grew up in a musical backdrop.
Hailing from a family with a father who played for the Sri Lankan Navy
band and a younger brother who possessed a gift to pay the violin,
Dinesh Subasinghe's destiny was pre-determined for him. The talented
young musician, so eager to make his mark in the field in a unique
nature recently launched his first CD by presenting it to President
Mahinda Rajapaksa on March 23.
Titled Ravana Nada his debut contribution comprises 12 instrumentals
and two vocals accompanied with the tune of the Ravanahatha or the
Ravanastron, the musical instrument which he excelled in.
"The eloquent tune which derives from the Ravanahatha is believed to
be played for the Hindu god Shiva, who was moved by the mellifluous
notes transcending from the instrument's strings as the bow swipes its
Thus it was recorded in the Ramayanaya that King Ravana who was an
avid devotee of the god possessed what has now been recognized as the
first musical instrument to be played with a bow in the history of world
music," he noted adding that due to Ravana's strong attachment to the
island it is out of the musical instrument made by the orients that the
western violin took shape.
Ravana Nada is the first audio product to be launched in the world
which includes the music springing out of the Ravanahatha, though it had
appeared in movies as a visual item. The CD includes a Hindi song panned
by actress Yashoda Wimaladharma and song named Me Aadarae both sung by
the members of Dinesh's popular youth band, Dee R Cee.
Dinesh was recently awarded with a scholarship to attend Academy
award winner A.R. Rahman's Music Academy in Chennai. The opportunity
came his way when one of Rahman's close friends, Abdul Hameed, had
witnessed the young musician during one of his gigs.
"This will be the first time that a Sri Lankan had been asked to join
the institute. A lot of people have backed me in my success. I wish to
express my gratitude to President Mahinda Rajapaksa because he had
expressed his desire to help me with my expenses during my stint at the
during a violin recital
Ven. Athuraliye Rathana, actors Ravindra Randeniya, Cletus Mendis,
Geetha Kumarasinghe and Pubudu Chathuranga, former Chairman of the
National Film Corporation, Asoka Serasinghe, B.H. Abdul Hameed, Nimal
Lakshapathiarachchi, Ganga Sudharshi, ANCL Chairman Bandula Padmakumara,
Maharaja Group head Raja Mahendran, my parents, my Recording Engineer,
Pragash Bosco who is the son of well known music director Anton John
Bosco and many others have been supportive," Dinesh said adding that he
is making preparations to stride into the new doorway which had opened
in his path.
His music venture took off on meeting Stanley Peiris. Noting the
great potentiality of the youth, he introduced Subasinghe to
professional orchestra. His career was further cemented when Ananda
Dabare and Hasini Halpe as they included him in the Symphony orchestra.
Later he joined maestro Premasiri Khemadasa's troupe and had played
for each of his compositions. He leads the orchestra for Master's Agni
opera and had so far composed music for 28 teledramas, five
documentaries and 10 stage plays.
He had worked for around 70 music directors and provided music for
nearly a 1000 audio songs as well as provided music for 75 teledramas
and 25 movies to the music composed by others.
"I have composed music for Sunil Costa and Sanjaya Nirmal's teledrama
Sihina Wasanthaya which is being telecast on Sirasa TV on Sundays at
8.30 p.m. Sriyani Amarasena's newest teledrama Sivupath Rena and Joseph
Jerome's Ahankara Nagare , both which are slotted to be telecast soon
include my music compositions. I composed music for a song in Channa
Perera's new film," he said.
Dinesh is also working on his second CD, 'Feel My Heart', which will
include 14 musical tracks. Relaxing melodies with a romantic touch will
be included in the CD which will be released by M Entertainments. Though
music from the Ravanahatha and the kingiri will also come to play in
'Feel My Heart', it is the violin which will take center stage in this
"My journey is no bed of roses. I aim to use my knowledge to uplift
Buddhism after completing my spell in India. Ven. Athuraliye Rathana
asked me to play some meditative music using the Ravanahatha. He even
promised to help me build an Institution for this form of music," he
Dinesh with
the Ravanahatha
A Passion CD comprising music directed by Dinesh will be launched at
the Bishop's College auditorium on April 4 at 3 p.m. Visharada Nanda
Malini takes the lead in a Passion play along with a troupe from Duwa.
Clement Fernando has directed the Passion play for which Dinesh had
provided music.
"This is recognized as the second oldest Passion play in the world as
the oldest one belongs to Germany's Ober Ammergau. The team will be
staging the creation after 20 years and I have included an opera touch
to the music so that it will have more universal appeal," he expalined.
A strong believer in justice, Dinesh presumes that a hard worker
would ultimately achieve what he pines for in life. He assumed the fact
that Sri Lankan music can carve a niche in world music through oriental
instruments like the Ravanahatha and the kingiri which are yet to assume
their identity in the global arena.
"We need to present something unique and not something which had been
popularized and borrowed for other nations. Quality and originality are
essential to lure the national audience to our music," said the
determined youth who had undertaken the daring mission of reviving the
age old musical instrument possessed by king Ravana into the folds of
the modern social set-up.

Now that the iPhone 4 has gotten cozy with Verizon, will its next stop be the multiplexes?
The first steps may have been taken by Korean director Park Chan-wook, known for unflinching and visually inventive films, who shot his latest entirely on an iPhone 4.
The 30-minute short, called "Paranmanjang" (Korean for "Ups and Downs"), was constructed soup to nuts using the smartphone, with Chan-wook reaching for his Apple device when scouting locations, filming actor auditions, and shooting the "making of" behind-the-scenes documentary. The film centers around a middle-aged fisherman who discovers the body of a woman in a lake, which triggers a metaphysical, perspective-shifting journey through the nature of life and death. Once again: The very nature of life and death. In a half-hour. On an iPhone.
Chan-wook made his name with critically acclaimed but often brutal films like the vampire drama "Thirst" (which won the 2009 Jury Prize at the Cannes Film Festival) and the revenge thriller "Oldboy" (the Grand Prix winner of the 2004 Cannes Film Festival, subject of a rumored American remake, and, yes, the movie where star Min-sik Choi eats a live octopus on camera in one of the story's "lighter" moments). The New York Times reports the budget of "Paranmanjang" to be around $130,000, a portion of which was shared by KT Corp., a wireless operator that is the exclusive distributor of the iPhone in South Korea.
A 5-minute behind the scenes documentary is currently available (unfortunately, untranslated) on YouTube, but currently there is no word on how exactly "Paranmanjang" is going to be distributed internationally. Somehow, we don't see iTunes missing out on this opportunity.
Cinematography: There's an App for That
Now that the iPhone 4 has gotten cozy with Verizon, will its next stop be the multiplexes?

SUBHEAD: The Transition Town of Bristol introduces new currency and new era for local money.
By Josh Ryan-Collins on 19 September 2012 for New Economics - (http://www.neweconomics.org/blog/2012/09/19/bristol-pound-marks-new-era-for-local-money)
Image above: One of several variations of design of Bristol Pound notes. From (https://twitter.com/i/#!/BristolPound/media/slideshow).
Today's launch of the Bristol Pound (£B)
represents a step change for the UK local currency movement, one which New Economics Foundation is very proud to have supported as
part of our Community
Currency 2.0 project.
The new currency is particularly notable
for three reasons.
Firstly, scale. The Bristol Pound is the first city-wide
scheme in the UK – indeed, any primary producer within a 50 mile radius of
Bristol will be permitted to participate in the scheme. Bristol Pound has the potential to become a
genuine 'city-region' currency – joining up farmers in Devon or locally based energy cooperatives with
a city of over 1 million residents and thousands of small businesses (350 have
signed up already). Ecological
economist Jane Jacob's dream of flowering City-region currency schemes
fluctuating against each other in natural cycles of growth and import
substitution is perhaps a step closer.
Secondly, ethical finance. The Bristol
Pound is the first UK scheme to partner with any kind of deposit-taking
financial institution - the Bristol
Credit Union. Many previous local
currencies have struggled with administration, security and funding. Having the
credit union administering the scheme will addresses these challenges. It also
opens up the scheme to a more diverse range of people than previous currency
projects. Every existing member of Bristol Credit Union (BCU), including many
people who struggle to access finance from high street banks or receive benefits,
will automatically be offered membership of The Bristol Pound. The project is a great marketing vehicle for BCU,
helping it compete with larger banks for retail customers and encouraging more
small businesses to hold accounts and get loans. Meanwhile, customers buying
Bristol Pounds will know they are not only supporting local businesses but also
helping their neighbours get access to finance at ethical rates of interest.
Thirdly, council participation. Bristol Council is following in the
footsteps of Lambeth Council (for the Brixton
Pound), and a number of other local currency projects across the world, by
enabling participating businesses to use their Bristol pound balances to pay local
taxes - in this case, their business rates. This massively reduces the barrier
to entry for small businesses that may be concerned they will not be able to
find ways of re-spending the currency. If Bristol Council can also find ways of re-spending Bristol Pounds –
perhaps through paying staff or procurement – they can act as an effective
clearing house for the currency and accelerate more regional production and
Here at nef we'll
continue to support the Bristol Pound as part of our to upscale and
professionalise local currencies at both UK and European level; the latter
through our EU-funded Community
Currencies in Action project, of which there will be more news soon. And big congratulations to all the team down
in Bristol, who have been working away for the last three years ahead of this
historic day.

Safer describes the "flavorist" industry, entirely dedicated to crafting irresistible odors for the purpose of selling processed and restaurant food. They focused on the company Givaudin. Dr. David Kessler, author of The End of Overeating, makes an appearance near the end.
Here are a few notable quotes:
Safer: You're trying to create an addictive taste.
Flavorist: That's a good word.
Safer: Strawberry and vanilla flavor can come from the gland in a beaver's backside.
Chef: It makes you want to eat this again and again and again. It's like sex.
Safer: [walking down a grocery store aisle] Almost every product on this aisle has been enhanced artificially or with so-called natural flavors.
Kessler: We're living in a food carnival.Teams of highly trained professionals are working around the globe to create foods that exploit our natural food preferences, resulting in hyperpalatable and hyper-rewarding products that drive our reward circuits beyond what they are adapted to constructively handle. Our preferences served us well in a natural environment, but in today's world, they are exploited by commercial interests. Common sense suggests that this would contribute to obesity, and the scientific literature strongly supports this notion. The public's awareness of this is gradually increasing.

CADIZ - Ohio senator Lou Gentile met with various Harrison County officials and members of the United Mine Workers Association (UMWA) on Thursday to show support for the Mine Safety Training Center.
CADIZ - Ohio senator Lou Gentile met with various Harrison County officials and members of the United Mine Workers Association (UMWA) on Thursday to show support for the Mine Safety Training Center.
The training center, located on Industrial Park Road in Cadiz, is under threat of transition to Guernsey County from the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR).
According to ODNR, the building is not up to code and it has been suggested that the training center could be moved to Cambridge.
Gentile and many Harrison County officials are opposed to this happening, and they strongly voiced their support of keeping the facility in Cadiz.
"This has been a great asset for this union, this county.
"My hope is that we can slow this down and come back to the table.
"I respect ODNR, but we want to emphasize how important this facility is and how important mine safety training is", Gentile said.
County commissioners Dale Norris, Don Bethel, and Bill Host all attended the conference to support the training building remaining in Cadiz. Norris stated, "We oppose the facility leaving Harrison County. Code violations should be addressed, but it should stay because this is the center of coal country." Host said that "We're all in support of the mine training remaining here in Harrison County." He also mentioned the news that ODNR wants to move the training facility is "disappointing, to say the least." Mayor Ken Zitko, a UMWA member, said "this is a state of the art facility, and we would like to keep it."
Sherriff Ron Myers said that the facility is used not only for Mine Safety Training, but also for law enforcement training, including the K-9 unit. Myers also said the building "benefits the whole county."
Gentile also stated that he wants to make sure all parties in this matter are represented, including local officials, United Mine Workers, and the coal industry. Gentile emphasized that having the Mine Safety Training Building in Cadiz provides a great economic impact for the county, bringing people from all over the region to shop at local businesses.

but it was headlines
i like artie
but it was headlines
i like artie
I'm listening to today's reply. The guy won't budge an inch on anything. It is such an impractical approach. He will not accept anything less than "you killed and made the show!"
I like Artie too, but he's not always on. In fact, he has been irritating lately - talking over Howard, being relentless on some guests (Lou during Playboy judging.... ) that turns me off. He thinks it's funny, and Howard won't rein him in Sternly.
In as much as I respect your opinion, I really think Artie thinks he did kill, and obviously, that is debated. This is something he hasn't shown any respect for, and it's bothersome to me.
I agree that he thinks that he did better then he actually did. I have watched every appearance he has made on late night TV and he is usually pretty damn good.
I still keep coming back to... what the hell was that show supposed to be? I think Artie was rattled by the shittiness of what he was wrapped up in. That was the first show ever right? Why the hell would you ask Artie Lange to be on your opening night unless you wanted something crazy/controversial to happen?
The whole thing reeks of weirdness.
it was weird, and thats why i really felt that the weirdest part of the show was...the rest of the show, aside from artie.
he is a selfish bastard and childish vulgar imbecile (can't think of better words) and while he was sitting there im sure he was just getting more and more pissed and figured he would take it to the "final nail" and at least make headlines...
with all the millions of potential subscribers and possibly millions of "old" stern terra listeners that didn't make the jump to satellite, this may have been the spark that got them off the sidelines after several years of missing howards show...especially with the demise of terra radio, artie made a great point...his point was "I am bored to death, on satellite radio we don't get bored"

Doctor chick lit?
I'm mildly embarrassed to admit it, but I LOVE chick lit. I don't know why, because I hate fashion and flowers and jewelry and everything else girly. But I love these books. It's especially shocking because I used to be SUCH a little book snob when I was a teenager, and I'm sure I would have mocked Older Me mercilessly for reading a book about a woman who helps her quirky ghost great-aunt find a lost necklace (bonus points if you know what book I'm talking about).
But I don't have anything to prove anymore, so I'm going to read what I want, dammit. I recently discovered a list of the ultimate top 100 chick lit novels and noting that I've already read and enjoyed 7 of the top 10, I've decided to make it my mission for 2011 to work my way through the list. Come on, who's with me?
But you know what bugs me about chick lit? How come none of the female protagonists are ever doctors??
Seriously! On that list of 100 books, you'll find women who are lawyers, teachers, PR reps (a popular chick lit career), i-bankers, and basically tons of great careers. No doctors. There are no chick lit books about doctors.
Why the hell not? There are lots of doctors writing memoirs. There are lots of thrillers written about doctors. (I used to be a big Robin Cook fan, until I realized the villain was always Evil Managed Care.) There are tons of TV shows about doctors, some of which involve doctors hooking up a lot (Grey's Anatomy). There are comedies about doctors (Scrubs). So I don't know why female doctors can't be the protagonists in chick lit? The Devil can wear scrubs, can't she?
You can probably tell this really bothers me. Why can't someone write a novel about a female doctor who's riding on a plane, ends up telling all her secrets to the cute guy next to her, then it turns out he's her new boss and also she has a shopping addiction? What's up with that?

Shall I write a chick-lit book with a doc then?ReplyDelete
Fizzy, NaNoWriMo next year (or sometime for SURE) I am totally writing a chic-lit book with a Dr protagonist.ReplyDelete
BTW -- I am totally with you re: working your way through the top 100. I've been meaning to read more fiction lately anyway, and this sounds like fun.
I am currently a 2nd year med student in the midst of Pathology and Step studying and in case you've forgotten I shall remind you....no, reading Robbins' Pathological Basis of Disease is not fun.ReplyDelete
Chick lit however is fun! I will make time to read more....someday. =/

In "How To Be Good" by Nick Hornby the protagonist is a doctor. Not quite chick lit but close enough.ReplyDelete
I have officially bookmarked the list!! :)ReplyDelete

Oh, I love the Aunt Dimity books. Seems like years ago there was a chick lit type book about 3 girls who are friends in med school. One becomes an OB in Seattle, one a plastic surgeon in Hawaii and I can't recall the other one. Can't recall the title but it was definitely chick lit-ish even though the term wasn't invented at the time. Don't have the book anymore but will try to run down the title.ReplyDelete

PS: The third friend goes to Africa and becomes a missionary. And eureka! (yay, internet) the name of the book is Vital Signs by Barbara Wood. It is still available on amazon.ReplyDelete
Doctor Blondie and OMDG: If either of you write a doctor chick lit novel, you absolutely MUST send it to me!ReplyDelete
I was actually getting all snobby in my head while I was reading this - my holiday reading consisted of National Book Award winners and Nobel Prize authors. But lo and behold, when I clicked on the link - I had read 5 of the top 10! Didn't recognize too many of the subsequent ones, but still.ReplyDelete
Yes, I do like to indulge in chick lit, occasionally. It's like brain candy, the ultimate unwind for the fact-addled professional brain. I would read any chick lit written by you, Fizzy! Please indulge your followers. And thanks for reminding me not to get snobby about anything, ever. Alas, no bonus points for me.
I have personally read 6 of the top 10 and I'm not ashamed! I love Chick Lit, especially for airplanes, sick days and bubble baths. The serious stuff gets too much when you're trying to use it as a break from board exam studying. I am, however, somewhat disappointed that Maeve Binchy didn't make the list.ReplyDelete
- CatherineJanuary 6, 2011 at 8:03 PM
Astute observation about the protagonist occupations - in writing it may not seem as marketable but in recent years, 2 rom-com protagonists have been workaholic female doctors: Just like Heaven and The Lake House.ReplyDelete
Ah, Fizzy, you hit the nail on the head again. Nothing like a great piece of escapism from the work day (and like Gizabeth, I look upon it as brain candy - something that makes life as enjoyable as a terrific piece of chocolate, but you wouldn't want to live on it).ReplyDelete
I noticed that one of my favorite books is number 19 on the list ("I Don't Know How She Does It" by Allison Pearson) - I read this initially when I was in the midst of a seriously crazy time of my life and have re-read it a number of times since then. And yes, I have read many others on the list as well!

I just finished reading Oxygen by Carol Cassella. It has a female MD protagonist and has some features of chick lit and mystery intertwined, although not purely chick lit zone by far.ReplyDelete
Dr Fizzy,ReplyDelete
I think you must be my soul sister from another mister. I get a strange nodding twitch when I read your posts.
I justify my chick lit habit a couple of ways,
Carrying so much responsibility at work and home is hard and sometimes you just need to switch off the brain and go for a ride (old way)
I am interested in the human experience. This is why I love medicine, films, reading, talking to people on trains.
A good chick lit novel really gets into the mind of the main characters. It helps me understand one take on a situation, therefore be a better doctor and person in general (new way)
Any which way I justify it, when I have the time, I love to escape into a good chick lit novel and have bookmarked your link!
Baby, I have WRITTEN chick lit, with doctor and non-doctor chick protagonists, and I can tell you that part of the reason why it's not getting published right now because New York is sinking and doesn't know how to swim. But if any of you want to read it, or even an excerpt, ping me.ReplyDelete
I like chick lit, as well as any kind of lit, but as usual, they got excited, flooded the market with crap, and killed the trend. I did get tired of reading about characters whose main problem was they had a crappy job and a crappy boyfriend and not enough self-esteem to tell them both to take a hike...until 200 pages later. And all the label name-dropping annoyed me, since I'm a no logo kind of gal.
British chick lit still exists and is a step up. Usually, their problems are more of the crazy family variety. I can relate.
Hey Melissa, I don't know how to ping you, but I'd love to read your doctor chick lit. You can email me at email@example.com

I love what you're saying here, Fizzy! And like Melissa, I've got something up my sleeve for you. I actually wrote "Burning the Short White Coat" years ago during my residency, but I've just recently published it through LULU. People in my life were telling me to just do it already, so I did.ReplyDelete
I had a blog back in my residency, but that's long over. Now I'm blogging at burningtheshortwhitecoat.wordpress.com. I'd love your feedback, and maybe the chance to join MiM?

Like any good PFLAG mom, Mama Rizzoli is doing all she can to help elect a politician with a platform she supports. Same-sex marriage? Gay adoption? The right to remain Sexy McBadass? Nope, the right to healthier school lunches. Well, baby steps. But at least, as her daughter astutely notes, Mama R is using glitter to make her signs. Next step, chanting "We're here, we're queer, get used to it!" in Boston Common.
Jane saunters into Maura's place in the morning with nary a knock as Mama R is glitterbombing and Maura is shopping therapizing. Guess someone got her house key back after the whole experimentation with beards from the last couple of weeks. Maura is unpacking new scuba gear, but mostly just being adorable.
Jane gives her girlfriend that, this is why I love you you crazy cute thing look. And then she finds Maura has also purchased safari gear for an "Outback lady walk." Right, if there isn't a lesbian safari tour company called Outback Lady Walk already, I call it. This is gonna be huge.
Just then who should come into the house (also without knocking, which Jane notes defensively – only she can do that), but Giovanni. Oh, G, how I've missed you and your ability to bring out the LLBFF in our ladies. He tells Maura and Jane they look hot, because they do. And then gives his obligatory, "If you two ever decide to bat for the other team." To which Jane replies quickly, "Not on your team." Because of The Gay. They're gay. They're totally gay for each other. And other gay things. Like tennis. And softball. And solving crimes.
Mama R has enlisted Giovanni's help with her campaigning. He has made a T-shirt for the occasion to, which reads, "You Want This Dud." Oh, Giovanni, never change. While he turns his attention away from the LLBFFs to hit on Mama R, Jane realizes what all of Maura's purchases are really about. She is stressing about her long-lost birth mother, Hope. Yeah, remember that subplot? I know, almost forgot what with all the disposable Beards of the Week distracting us and all. Good thing our girls found some razors and shaved those duds off this week.
Maura says she hasn't been thinking about Hope, but Jane knows better. She knows all her shopping is just a way to distract her from finding her birth mom. Maura spouts some statistics about the percentage of adopted children who want to find their birth parents, because when in emotional crisis nothing comforts her more than statistics. Then on the way to the crime scene, Jane realizes that her girlfriend doth protest too much.
In one of those, ah-ha I am totally onto you moments, she pushes Maura up against the dumpster with one finger and corners her into telling the truth. Something tells me this is not the first time Jane has pushed Maura up against something using only one finger – and also not the last time. Jane then tells Maura she'd better fess up or she'll break out into hives from lying. Because she also knows Maura's unique skin chemistry intimately. So intimately.
Maura confesses that, indeed, she has found out who Hope was. But she doesn't know what she wants to do with the information. Luckily, she has a case to distract her. The team has found a young woman, badly beaten with her hands burned in a dumpster. Maura immediately strips down. Hey, you'd do the same thing is Det. Jane Rizzoli just pushed you up against a dumpster. She puts on her handy Tyvex suit and then proceeds to dumpster dive. Which is also a naughty euphemism for what I imagine those two do together often after Jane gets, um, pushy.
Back in Maura's office, she's online when Jane walks in – again without knocking. Maura says she was just checking the weather but, as we all know, Jane knows Maura better. She goes to check her laptop and Maura snaps at her. The Adorable Bickersons are back, bitches! But then Jane keeps pushing and Maura admits she was checking out her mother's Wikipedia page. Yes, her mother has a Wikipedia page. Don't be surprised, this is the birth mother of Dr. Maura Isles after all.
Jane checks it out and then makes the face of a woman who realizes the face of the woman she loves is smiling back at her, only in a slightly older form.

In making today's announcement, Screen Actors Guild National President Ken Howard said, "Whether portraying brutish villains, sympathetic everymen, complex leaders or hapless heroes, Ernest Borgnine has brought a boundless energy which, at 93, is still a hallmark of his remarkably busy life and career. It is with that same joyous spirit that we salute his impressive body of work and his steadfast generosity."
Borgnine has been the recipient of industry recognition, critical praise and audience approbation throughout his career. He first drew the public eye in 1953 with his portrayal of the vicious Sergeant "Fatso" Judson, who beat Frank Sinatra's Maggio to a pulpy death in the Oscar®-winning film "From Here to Eternity."
He was memorable as one of the thugs who threatened a one-armed Spencer Tracy in "Bad Day at Black Rock," then did a 180-degree turn in 1955, starring for director Delbert Mann and screenwriter Paddy Chayefsky as the title character in what was to be the year's best picture Oscar winner, "Marty." His touching performance as the lonely butcher won Borgnine an Academy Award®, a BAFTA and a Golden Globe®. He would receive a second Golden Globe nomination some 52 years later for the title role in the telefilm "A Grandpa for Christmas" and an Independent Spirit Award nomination in 1989 for his Mafia boss in "Spike of Bensonhurst."
During the 1950s, Borgnine performed frequently on such Golden Age of Television masterworks as "G.E. Theatre" and "Philco Playhouse," but it was the 1962-66 broad ensemble comedy "McHale's Navy" that would cement his presence as a household name and earn Borgnine his first Emmy® nomination in 1963. The Television Academy would again nominate Borgnine in 1980 for his portrait of World War I soldier Stanislaus Katczinsky in the Hallmark Hall of Fame production of "All Quiet on the Western Front" (again under Delbert Mann's direction) and just last year for his guest role as a devoted husband coming to terms with his wife's imminent death in the final episode of "E.R."
Borgnine was also the recipient in 1999 of a Daytime Emmy nomination for his voice work as Carface in the animated "All Dogs Go to Heaven: The Series" and the same year began his continuing run as the voice of semi-retired aquatic superhero Mermaid Man in the Nickelodeon smash-hit "SpongeBob SquarePants," bringing him a whole new legion of young fans. He's also played an animated version of himself on "The Simpsons."
Borgnine was born Ermes Effron Borgnino on Jan. 24, 1917 in Hamden, Conn., son of Italian immigrants Charles (fka Camillo) and Anna Borgnino and grandson of Count Paolo Boselli, financial advisor to Italian King Victor Emmanuel. When he was 2, his parents separated, and he moved to Italy with his mother until the family reunited in Connecticut when Borgnine was 5. After he graduated high school in 1935, finding factory work and driving a vegetable truck did not suit him, he enlisted in the U.S. Navy.
He was discharged in October 1941, but a few months later, when the United States entered World War II, he re-enlisted and served until 1945, rising to the rank of Gunner's Mate 1st Class. After the war, at his mother's suggestion and with funds from the GI Bill, he enrolled in the Randall School of Dramatic Arts in Hartford, and then honed his craft at the famed Barter Theatre in Abington, Va.. There where he painted scenery, worked as stagehand and drove a truck yet-again, eventually getting a shot at acting in numerous classics. He even traveled with the company to entertain U.S. servicemen in Germany and Denmark, in the role of Guildenstern in Shakespeare's "Hamlet."
Borgnine's big break came in 1949, when he won the role of the hospital attendant in a Broadway production of "Harvey." His success in live television prompted a move to Los Angeles, where in 1951, he made his motion picture debut in "The Whistle at Eaton Falls."
The staggering catalog of his 200 motion pictures since includes such classics as "Johnny Guitar," starring Joan Crawford; "Vera Cruz," with Gary Cooper and Burt Lancaster; "The Catered Affair," opposite Bette Davis; legendary ensemble pieces like Robert Aldrich's "The Dirty Dozen" and Sam Peckinpah's "The Wild Bunch"; and large-scale productions like "The Vikings," "Torpedo Run," "Emperor of the North," "Ice Station Zebra," "Flight Of The Phoenix," "Escape from New York" and "The Poseidon Adventure." He portrayed controversial FBI founder J. Edgar Hoover in the 1983 telefilm "Blood Feud" and again in the feature "Hoover," which he also executive produced. He also played real-life boxing coach Angelo Dundee opposite Muhammad Ali (as himself) in "The Greatest." His latest film "Red," starring Bruce Willis, Mary-Louise Parker, Morgan Freeman, John Malkovich, Helen Mirren, Richard Dreyfuss and Brian Cox, opens in October.
Besides "McHale's Navy," Borgnine's television credits include starring as seasoned police office Joe Cleaver in "Future Cop" (1976-77), as veteran aircraft owner Dominic Santini "Airwolf" (1984-86), and as doorman Manny Cordoba in "The Single Guy" (1995-97). Among his telefilms and miniseries are "Jesus of Nazareth"; "The Trail to Hope Rose," for which, at age 87, he drove a team of horses and was honored with the Wrangler Award from the National Cowboy Hall of Fame; and this year's "Wishing Well." He had a recurring role on "The Commish" and guest starred in numerous series, including "JAG," "Early Edition," "Walker, Texas Ranger," "Little House on the Prairie," "Touched By An Angel," "7th Heaven," "Family Law" and "The District." He even appeared in the first "Center Square" in the "Hollywood Squares" when the game show premiered in 1965.
Borgnine has received Honorary Doctorate of Humane Letters from Columbia College Hollywood, Albertus Magnus College in New Haven, Lakeland College in Mikwaukee and the University of Northern Alabama. Still deeply connected to Navy years, he maintains contacts with old shipmates from his destroyer days. He was recognized for his support of the Navy Memorial Fund with the Lone Sailor award from the Navy Memorial Foundation and was named an Honorary Chief Petty Officer by the Navy Chiefs. Some 20 years ago, he acquired another Naval title: Honorary Flight Leader for the Navy's Flight Demonstration Team: The Blue Angels.
In 2000, the Veterans Foundation elected him Veteran of the Year. As he celebrated his 90th birthday, he was honored with the California Commendation Medal for his support of the military by the Commanding Officer of the California National Guard. In 2009, he participated in a special tribute to the Navy at the National Memorial Day Parade presented by the American Veterans Center in Washington, D.C.
In 1985, Borgnine received the Motion Picture and Television Fund's Golden Boot Award for his work in film and television Westerns.
In 1990, he was named Honorary Mayor of Universal City, where "McHale's Navy" was filmed. In 1997, the San Luis Obispo International Film Festival honored him with the King Vidor Memorial Award. The National Film Theatre of Great Britain honored him in May 2001 for a lifetime of artistic achievement. In 2009, he received a special tribute at the Almería, Spain International Film Festival and a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Rhode Island International Film Festival, which screened his then-latest feature "Another Harvest Moon," in which he starred opposite Piper Laurie, Anne Meara and Doris Roberts.
In 2002, Borgnine received a lifetime achievement award from his mother's birthplace, Carpi, Italy. In honor of his Italian parentage, he received the Ellis Island Medal of Honor. For a quarter century, he marched as the Grand Clown in "The Great Circus Parade" in Milwaukee. A Freemason for 60 years, he is proud to have been honored with the 33rd Degree of the Masonic Order of the Grand Cross. He was honorary chair of the Scottish Rite RiteCare Program, which sponsors 175 childhood language disorders clinics, centers and programs nationwide, and narrated "On the Wings of Words," a film about the RiteCare Program.
Borgnine's 2008 autobiography, "Ernie" was a "New York Times" bestseller. He lives in Beverly Hills with his wife of 37 years, Tova, QVC's on camera spokesperson for Tova cosmetics.

Why I Teach the Parts of Speech
By Dorothy Zemach
ESL Materials Writer, Editor, Teacher Trainer
Eugene, Oregon
Email: zemach at comcast dot net
Actually, I wanted to write about phrases and clauses and about teaching them as adjectives and adverbs. However, that reminded me how many teachers I've run into over the years who disagree that the names of parts of speech should be taught to students. I argued with a publisher over this for at least three years, actually, before being "allowed" to teach the parts of speech in a textbook for lower-level students. So let me take a brief diversion to defend this position.
The arguments against teaching the names of the parts of speech are mainly that the terms are too difficult for students to learn, and further, that they aren't helpful. I disagree with both of these arguments.
Minimally, I think students should know noun, pronoun, verb, adjective, adverb, preposition, and article. With advanced students I might add in determiner. OK, that's seven words. Is that too high a vocabulary load, especially when most of those concepts exist in the learner's native language? I think if they can learn seven objects in the classroom, or seven modes of transportation, or seven irregular verbs, then seven parts of speech isn't going to short out the brain.
A larger issue is whether they're helpful. This depends, of course, on whether the teacher uses the labels. I use them all the time. I use them to talk about
- different word forms (accept is a verb, acceptance is the noun form of that verb);
- the placement of different parts of speech (Your sentence "Is late again," is missing a noun or a pronoun as the subject); and
- the functions of subordinate clauses and prepositional phrases and so on.
And now I'm back to where I wanted to be . . .
It seems to me that one of the challenges of forming correct and elegant sentences in English is in knowing where to put the different elements. Where does the subject go? Where does the verb go? How about the direct object? And those are the easier things to teach.
Where my more advanced students trip up is in knowing where to put longer elements, such as
- in the morning,
- running for the bus,
- while on his way to the bakery, or
- on the corner.
The problem is that students don't know what these elements are—that is, how they function. Therefore, they can't place them correctly in a sentence.
Pretty much, they're adjectives and adverbs—more correctly called adjectivals and adverbials, but I use adjective phrase and adverb phrase with my students at first, and then just adjective and adverb, once we're all on the same page.
Suppose we have a simple sentence:
- He fell.
Even lower-level students have probably seen the structure subject + verb + adverb, and might be able to write a sentence such as
- He fell slowly.
However, the most common adverbs are actually NOT the one-word ones that end with ~ly, even though those are the easiest ones to identify. An adverb tells us where, when, why, or how. If students know that phrases can be used to talk about when, where, why, or how, then they can write
- He fell to the ground.
- He fell when he tripped.
- He fell as soon as he tried to stand up.
- He fell with a strange choking sound.
The trick is in knowing that to the ground (where?) functions as an adverb, as do when he tripped (when?) and as soon as he tried to stand up (both when? and why?) and with a strange choking sound (how?). English allows (and even encourages!) one to combine adverb phrases and clauses, as in
- He fell to the ground with a strange choking sound as soon as he tried to stand up.
Getting this concept down is huge. It doesn't bother me terribly much if a student writes
- *He fell at the ground.
- *He fell as soon as tried to stand up.
Those sentences contain errors, of course, but the basic pattern of subject + verb + adverb is still there.
Adverbs are movable elements, more so than most others. But students need to know that adverb clauses and phrases move as units, and where they move to—for instance, to the beginning of a sentence:
- As soon as he tried to stand up, he fell.
To take another example: A student who is writing short, careful, simple sentences and wishes to expand them might wish to add some adjectives. Students are usually taught simple one-word adjectives (that answer the question What kind of? or Which?) that come before a noun.
- She went to the bakery.
- She went to the new bakery.
But how much more interesting if we can describe the
bakery with some prepositional phrases; note that these come after the noun:
- She went to the bakery on the corner.
- She went to the bakery with the jumbo strawberry creampuffs.
Again, an error in choosing the correct preposition doesn't bother me if the student is able to modify the noun with a phrase.
This is the way I like to address syntax, especially in reading and writing, with at least intermediate and advanced students—and some beginners as well. And that is why my very lowest level students learn the names of the parts of speech—so that we can talk about what the parts of speech are and how they function.

Europium-labeled streptavidin, for capturing biotinylated biomolecules in LANCE TR-FRET assays. The W8044 chelate provides more stability than the W1024 chelate.
Item(s) added to cart.
Please enter valid quantity
Please log in to add favorites.
Isolated from fermentation filtrates of Streptomyces avidinii, 1 mg of streptavidin binds approximately 10 µg of biotin. The preparations are supplied ready to use in 50 mmol/L Tris-HCl buffered saline solution. For assays that require a high EDTA concentration, a high temperature or a pH below 7, the W8044 series of Europium chelates is a better choice because of their greater stability.
Generic LANCE® reagents are intended for setting up homogeneous time-resolved fluorescence resonance energy transfer (TR-FRET) based assays using Eu-Chelate label as a donor and APC-labeled reagent as an acceptor. Generic reagents facilitate setting up LANCE® assays when there is a limited amount of specific reagents available or the assay reagents are relatively unstable. To enable optimization of both the signal or the noise ratio and signal stability, some of the generic reagents are labeled with two different chelates, W1024 or W8044.
LANCE® (Lanthanide chelate excite) and LANCE® Ultra are our TR-FRET (time-resolved fluorescence resonance energy transfer), homogeneous (no wash) technologies. One molecule of interest is labeled with a donor fluorophore (a LANCE Europium chelate) and the second molecule is labeled with an acceptor fluorophore [ULight™ dye, allophycocyanin (APC), etc.]. Upon excitation at 320 or 340 nm, energy can be transferred from the donor Europium chelate to the acceptor fluorophore if sufficiently close for FRET (~10 nm). This results in the emission of light at 665 nm (for ULight dye and APC).

Bear dies after being hit by car on I-40
A bear was hit by a car on westbound Interstate 40 near Carnuel on Friday morning.
Whether the driver was injured in the collision has not been released, but the bear was killed.
"It's the terrain of the area. They like that area, and they were coming down," said Melissa Dosher, with the Department of Transportation.
Years ago, the Department of Transportation took action to prevent animals getting onto the highway.
"Game and Fish determined there's a funnel along the interstate where most of the wildlife was coming and trying to cross the interstate. We put up 2 miles of electric fence to prevent that," Dosher said.
The fence went up in 2003, but now, there's a problem with it.
"There are some parts where it's not as electric as it should be," Dosher said.
So that could be what's letting bears get onto the highway.
"The fence is a deterrent; it's not a preventative measure. You are always going to have wildlife that gets shocked and they still come across the road," Dosher said.
The Transportation Department is bringing in a company that specializes in electric fences. The company will make sure the entire 2 miles give the shock it needs to keep animals from ending up like the bear.
The Transportation Department will pay that contracted company $15,000 a year.

On 16 July 1950, South American rivals Brazil and Uruguay met in the FIFA World Cup™ final round in Rio de Janeiro. Almost exactly 63 years later, *FIFA.com *relives the title decider in this edition of Video of the Week.
The tournament hosts were favourites going into the tie, which was staged in front of an official crowd of 173,850 at the iconic Estadio Maracana. However, despite taking the lead just minutes into the second half, A Seleção *were ultimately beaten by La Celeste.*
In this video we speak to some of the match's key players and look back on a defeat that still grates in Brazil, with the nation seeking to put past demons to bed when they host the FIFA World Cup again next year.
