A few hundred students and faculty gathered Wednesday morning at Amelia Gayle Gorgas Library on the University of Alabama campus before marching to the Rose Administration Building to rally in support of ending institutionalized racism within the school's Greek System
A few hundred students and faculty gathered Wednesday morning at Amelia Gayle Gorgas Library on the University of Alabama campus before marching to the Rose Administration Building to rally in support of ending institutionalized racism within the school's Greek System.
The group, which is urging the administration to take decisive action, gathered before a banner proclaiming: "The final stand in the Schoolhouse Door."
The demonstration came a week after the Crimson White reported that at least two black women were denied bids by traditionally white sororities because of their race, and just days after university president Judy Bonner acknowledged segregation has persisted in the university's Greek community. Bonner has since reiterated a pledge that the administration would take steps to increase diversity.
Many Wednesday morning expressed admiration for the sorority members who spoke out after alumnae allegedly interfered with the recruitment process to deny bids to the black women.
Yardena Wolf, a sophomore majoring in Political Science, spoke to the gathering, saying the women inadvertently created a moment for campus to have an honest conversation about diversity and racism.
The challenges of increasing diversity, Wolf said, are long-term questions for the UA community.
"These issues are not easy, and they will not be fixed overnight," she said.
Wolf, a member of Alpha Omicron Pi, believes the 50 years since UA's successful integration isn't that much time to overcome all of the many racial issues that persist in campus culture.
Wolf said integration of traditionally white sororities was a frequent topic during fall rush in August, with sorority members speculating whether it would happen this year or next.
"These girls who came, they were amazing," Wolf said of the black women who participated in the fall rush in August.
Kortlan Patterson, a sophomore from Houston who is not a member of a Greek organization, spoke at the rally, echoing Wolf's calls for a campus conversation about the challenges of integration.
Patterson said she believes the efforts of campus groups, including Greek and non-Greek, will help continue the push for reforms.
"I think because we have a partnership it will help with accountability for lasting change," Patterson said.
Lloyd Wyse, a junior management information systems major, believes the administration's response thus far has been "a knee-jerk reaction to the media coverage." Furthermore, she hopes the demonstration will help ensure permanent changes.
Wyse said he is fine with the concept of exclusive organizations -- so long as the membership criteria is based on achievement. The problem is when characteristics people have no control over, such as race, are considered.
"That's not Ok," he said.
Sam Gerard, president of the College Democrats, said he hopes for more discussion with the administration about "tactile" things that can be done.
"To have something substantial happen, rather than a few videos," he said.
Gerard also hopes the campus community remains focused enough to sustain a push for changes.
"It's very easy for the student body to forget about events like this," he added.
Bonner, who, at the behest of organizers, made a brief appearance at Wednesday's rally, said afterward, she had been aware of the historic segregation among traditionally all-white and all-black Greek organizations, and had been working on plans to address the situation before reports broke of discrimination in sorority recruitment last week.
Bonner said the preliminary work included removing barriers to integration, real or perceived, within the Greek organizations.
"In order for change to come about, there has to be white students who want to join black groups and there have to be black students who want to join historically white," she said. "The students wanted to make this happen. The students said there were barriers that were preventing them from making it happen."
Bonner said many internal barriers for sorority members have been identified, such as fear of backlash from their organizations, "procedural issues" and fear of intense media coverage of Greek organizations surrounding historic integrations.
Bonner used the intense coverage of Carla Ferguson, who joined the Gamma Phi Beta chapter in 2003 as its first black member, as an example.
"The students did not want to play this out in the media," Bonner said.
Bonner and Deborah M. Lane, associate vice president for University relations, said "procedural issues" included the size of the chapters.
Bonner mandated earlier this week that sororities immediately begin a continuous open-bid process, and the Alabama Panhellenic Association followed by voting Monday to increasing the size of the 17 chapters it oversees to 360.
Bonner said the university has been working with local and national chapters to address concerns about alleged interference by alumnae.
Bonner reiterated that the university would not tolerate discrimination in any of its campus organizations.
The rally, organized by students, drew admiration from the many of the faculty and instructors in attendance.
"I'm thrilled, and I love that its jam packed with students," Faculty Senate President Steve Miller said.
Said Faculty Sen. Steven Bunker, an associate professor or History, "It's a very good sign for reform on this campus."
Michelle Fuentes, a 28-year-old doctoral student in Political Science, said the rally was incredible.
Fuentes, who wore a yellow bandanna that signified a leadership role in the gathering, said the undergraduates used social media and calls to friends and acquaintances to organize participants. She called the rally an important point in her graduate and undergraduate career at UA.
"It's impressive to see it happening today," she said.
Fuentes, a California native, came to the university 10 years ago and pledged a sorority with the expectation of finding a wonderful sisterhood.
"I saw those Greek houses with rose-colored eyes," she said.
Fuentes was disappointed to discover a lack of diversity and was put off by the way sororities participated in campus politics.
Like many of the students and faculty at the gathering, Fuentes called the administration's acknowledgement of racial segregation among the Greeks and assurances action would be taken to increase diversity, a positive step.
Fuentes said organizers hope to continue the effort with future events and other public conversations.
"Hopefully it will get everyone in the conversation," she said. "Our community no longer will tolerate institutional racism."

Officer top vote-getter in Manchester Ward 10By BILL SMITH
New Hampshire Union Leader
September 17. 2013 11:29PM
MANCHESTER — Worries about public safety, especially an increase in armed robberies in the city over the summer, are credited by one challenger for his strong performance on Tuesday's city primary election.
Bill Barry, an Auburn police officer, topped the field for alderman in Ward 10, leading incumbent Philip Greazzo 313 votes to 265. Former alderman Jane Beaulieu trailed the field with 165 votes.
Barry said he was surprised at how often voters brought up public safety issues when he campaigned.
"In reaching out to them and talking to them, I let them tell me what their concerns were and their biggest was crime in the city," Barry said.
Greazzo said he recognizes that a series of well-publicized crimes in the city through the summer months — armed robberies, in particular — has voters uneasy.
"There's been more this summer and people aren't happy with that," Greazzo said. "Public safety is a top priority that I work on along with many other things. Public money is a problem — people don't have a lot of it — and education is another issue a lot of folks are frustrated with."
Barry said he will continue to press public safety issues heading into the Nov. 5 city election, while Greazzo said school and financial issues will continue to be important in his campaign.
Greazzo, a small business owner, said that aldermen will be faced with approving new collective bargaining agreements with unions, and claimed he would be better able to push the city to hold the line on those deals than someone who is himself a public employee.
"Who do you want voting on a contract for all those people?" Greazzo said.
Barry said he'll continue to stress public safety issues, but claims there is more to his campaign than the crime issue.
"It's not just police work, it's also community service," Barry said. "They like it when someone goes out and does community service work, too."

"I am the greatest!" he joked to 11Freunde, before adding: "Wait, is that even possible? Alright, then I'm the greatest behind Ali!"
The Sweden attacker has been in fine form for PSG this season, scoring 21 goals in 22 Ligue 1 starts so far this season.
But the striker also admitted his interest in moving to Bayern Munich, should the opportunity arise.
Pep Guardiola will takeover at the Allianz Arena at the end of the season, and Ibrahimovic, who was signed by the former Barcelona coach during his time at Camp Nou, says he would be open to a move to the Bavarian giants.
"The Bundesliga is certainly a league that attracts me. One day, maybe I will go there," he added.
"I still have a little time left in my career. If I chose to go to Germany, it would have to be Bayern Munich."For me they are one of the top five clubs in the world."
The Sweden international has been criticised in the past for not remaining loyal to his employers, with his latest comments set to add fuel to that fire.
However, he believes moving across Europe has aided him in becoming a better person.
He added: "I've lived in five countries – Sweden, Netherlands, Italy, Spain and now France. I have learned to get to know new people and cultures.
"It has certainly made me more mature."

Tustin High School sees widespread improvement in scores after adding Shmoop to all its AP® programs
When Tustin High School introduced Shmoop's AP® Test Prep into their AP® US History classes last year and saw pass rates nearly double for the subject in May 2012, the school thought more Shmoop might be a good thing. Using funds from voter approved 'Measure S' for Tustin Unified School District, Tustin High School introduced Shmoop, a large, award-winning online curriculum and Test Prep provider, to thousands of 11th- and 12th-grade AP® students. The May 2013 AP® exam results proved that trading in old textbooks for an online blend of interactive AP® practice exams, video answer explanations, individual analytics dashboards, and timed drills was the perfect ingredient for AP® success.
One of the most promising results from the May 2013 exams was that Tustin's percentage of college-eligible scores on their AP® exams (a '3' or above) doubled since 2011, when Shmoop first began piloting with the California high school.
"The demographics of Tustin Unified School District mirror the state of California's, so it's exciting to think that one day we could be shrinking achievement gaps across the state through greater access to quality online content like this," said Jonathan Blackmore, Principal at Tustin High School. "Shmoop has been a great resource at Tustin High School because our students have become the drivers of Shmoop and trained the teachers because they've loved the product and content so much."
Based on their AP® success, Tustin Unified School District is currently developing custom, Common Core-aligned online math courses with Shmoop. It will be the first time the school has piloted the 100% digital curriculum format for its students for the following subjects:
- 6th Grade Math
- 6th – 7th Grade Math Combo
- 7th Grade Math
- 7th – 8th Grade Math Combo
- 8th Grade Math
- Algebra I
- Geometry
- Algebra II
- Precalculus
- Finite Math
Students receiving online instruction for these subjects will also be able to communicate virtually with each other and with their teachers through Shmoop's online classrooms, which contain vital data on completed assignments, test scores, and suggested areas for improvement.
"Shmoop really leveled the playing field for kids of all socioeconomic backgrounds, so we're excited to roll it out to a greater extent," said Grant Litfin, Director of Secondary Education at TUSD. "Even the most interactive digital textbook is about $60 – $80 per student and that's as cheap as you can usually get it, so the fact that Shmoop was more cost-effective and a one-stop shop for a whole world of resources, including test prep and online courses, served the purpose we need."
About Shmoop

What's worse than Trick Or Treating for Unicef?
How about handing out Bibles while wearing identical white T-shirts with the rest of your youth group?
Jesus-Ween, or Jesus-Win, is a contrived holiday which will attempt to reinvent Halloween into something more wholesome; or as my friend told me after looking at their Web site, something a little sadder than people who hand out pennies for Trick Or Treat.
In between singing lines like "And if the Devil Doesn't Like it he can sit on a tack. Ouch!" with uniformity that the North Korean Army would envy and arguing whose mother gave out the sexiest purity ring, teens across the country are having a spiritual fall holiday without all the candy and toilet paper and casual drug use millions of other teens take part in every Oct. 31 without somehow summoning an elder god who drowns the planet in maggots he vomits from each of his 666 mouths.
I don't want to make fun of these people. I don't want to bitch about how their loyalty oaths promise to retake the holiday and turn it into World Evangelism Day. I don't want to make fun of their website, which looks like Thomas Kinkaid threw up in my browser.
I want to shy away from forced outrage against a group of people who will never succeed in ruining Halloween for the normals. I've been following their Facebook updates for weeks and it's heartwarming how they celebrate whenever there's a news story about an elementary school in Kansas that disciplined a third grader for coming to class dressed like Ed Gein.
Halloween is going to be fine. While lesser holidays such as Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter and St. Patrick's day are fatally flawed by church, interacting with your family and drunk fratboy assholes hooting at "The Boondock Saints," Halloween retains it's credibility. It's the most fun you can possibly have while waiting for the natural world to rot and die for another winter marked by seasonal affective disorder, nosebleeds from forced air heating and cutting yourself with whatever's handy as the sun goes down at four in the afternoon.
Halloween succeeds on its own merits: candy, booze, horror movies, the Great Pumpkin, urban legends about people force-feeding razor blades to children and people dressing as the walking corpse of whatever important person died that year. Its superiority is because this all happens organically. Cool is self-sustaining and it doesn't need an evangelist.
But people need to appreciate where this all comes from. Halloween, deep in its roots, is protection. The holiday gives us a ritual with which we can interact with existential we're-all-gonna-beat-dirt-in-the-ground drama that should be turning everyone into nihilistic serial killers. Without such release valves, society would have a tense Thanksgiving, a worse Christmas and the self-immolations would start at some point during the Super Bowl halftime show when the curtain rises to reveal one half of Smash Mouth eating the other half.
But taking the theatrics of Halloween too seriously, as Jesus-Ween would have us do, is also dangerous.
Because believing in the Devil just makes it easier for Him to find you. The Abyss needs to be dealt with carefully, because It's always looking for a foothold.
Like this:
A summer camp counselor is telling the children in her bunk a ghost story. Once upon a time, a little boy's overbearing mother choked to death on a ham sandwich. He wasn't around to call for help because he disobeyed his mother and was playing outside instead of doing his homework indoors like a good child. To this day, the mother's vengeful ghost tortures her son by gagging loudly when he tries to play, when he's making new friends and just as he's ready to fall asleep every night. The campers, with rapt attention, are hooked on every word of the story.
But the counselor stops just before the end. She quits and flatly tells the campers she's sorry, but the story didn't actually happen to a cousin of her friend like she told them at the beginning. It was all made up crap, she says. She lets her campers know that there are no real ghosts, no actual monsters. In calm, paced tones, she tells the children that as they get older they'll realize there is nothing hiding behind the basement furnace. Nothing is waiting until their back is turned to grab them around the ankle with a slender arm and drag them under the stairs.
The counselor says when the campers are older they'll realize all the monsters they could ever handle were already inside them, in their parents' heads and in the minds of every new person they meet.
So close.
Just like the monsters always wanted.
of you.
So much of the world is a disgusting hellhole, and that's just the stuff that floats to the surface. An enormous demographic of people instructed by God to keep these things from happening are more concerned that "Disney's Halloween Treat" is an initiation into a goat-worshiping, free-love LSD cult. If you contemplate it for too long you're bound to reach the conclusion that we're living in a universe which is indifferent to everything except its love affairs with Absolute Zero and entropy. In the end, it would almost be pleasant to have a flesh-eating ghoul who cared enough to stalk you through your house at night.
You have to deal with this madness on your own terms or you'll go psycho.
Horror is gift. Halloween is necessary. Gorging yourself on sixlets and candy apples and throwing up into a plastic Captain America mask is a human fucking right.

Re: An alternative to store bought formula!
Hi mamas,
I don't want to scare anyone, but in my research to try to find an acceptable organic formula without toxic chemicals or gmos, i was looking into the option of making my own, either goat's milk or other. And i came across this link that says the weston price suggestions may be dangerous. Anyone have any thoughts? I came on this forum to look for more suggestions, not trying to go around debunk anyone, but since i found this information (not saying this link is 100% accurate either, who knows who is right?) but in the interest of all you mamas who love yr little ones as much as i, just wanted to throw it out there, food for thought.
Anyway, haven't got far in my search except to narrow it down to Baby's Only or Earth's Best, or possibly Holle from Germany and even inquired into one from Switzerland that Amazon reviewers recommended. Baby's Only scares me in that it's primary ingredient, brown rice syrup had been linked to arsenic. Earth's best seems to have ingredients that may be GMO derived. And even Holle too. Then there's the concern about the added DHA/ARA which in most formulas is from a company called Martek and whose process uses hexane...inconclusive to me whether or not trace amts of hexane remain in the formula (i've read both pro and con arguments) - not a concern for Baby's only though. And for all of these, what about the BPA in packaging leaching into the formula? The EWG did an excellent executive summary about this and conclude powder is at least safer than the liquid formulas in regards to BPA leaching. Aaaagh!
Let's see, what's the least of the evils? Arsenic? Hexane? Bpa? GMOs? I mean come on, this is supposed to be Safe for Babies!! Even Organic companies are culpable. Sigh.
Help! Anyone have any suggestions?
Re: An alternative to store bought formula!
Veg source?? Bias right there. That article does a good job of twisting what WAPF says.
Here are some issues:
"Poached brains of animals should be added to other ground meats for better nutrition" Brain is VERY healthy. not that i would eat it, but it is incredibly nutritious.
"Raw cows milk and meat broth should be fed to newborns who don't breast feed, rather than infant formula." So misleading. First, WAPF advocates extended BFing. They also advocate baby led weaning and not feeding solids early on. http://www.westonaprice.org/children...luZmFudCdzIjt9
Raw cow's milk is used IN an infant formula they designed, and pasteurized milk that is cultured can be used instead of raw milk. People are not just feeding their kid's raw milk alone, that would not provide adequate nutrition, though many children have survived and thrived on raw milk alone around the world.
The homemade formula for cow's milk and goat's milk meet the FDA's nutritional requirements for infant formula. The values were almost identical to the organic formula that I was using before (Organic Parent's Choice.)
"Regular ingestion of clay (Azolimite Mineral Powder) because the clay particles remove pathogens from the body." If you search "Azolimite Mineral Powder" on the WAPF site, nothing comes up at all. What does come up is azomite clay, and the fact that Fuhrman doesn't know anything about the clays tells me he is in no position to discuss the clays. there are food grade clays, such as food grade bentonite clay that do detox the body and are used by naturopaths for that purpose. Azomite clay is just a brand name for bentonite clay mined in Utah. However, the benefit from ingesting small amounts of the clay comes from their mineral content.
"There are benefits of feeding sea salt to infants and babies" If you search "sea salt infant" on the WAPF site, there is only one article where sea salt is mentioned in reference to feeding infants, and that is the article I posted above (i'll put the link here again.) All it says is adding a pinch of sea salt to egg yolks for an infant over 4 months old.... it doesn't say anything about there being benefits to it either.
"Fruits and vegetables should be limited in children's diets." they definitely do not make this claim. In fact, if you look at article i posted above again, they mention fruits and veggies as some of baby's first foods. actually nowhere on there site do they mention limiting fruits and veggies. they actually mention increasing their intake and lowering processed sugar intake with natural sugars....
". But contrary to a plethora of scientific studies indicating that breast milk should be the only food for the first six months, " No, they don't say that. They say infants should be breastfed for at least 6 months, but ideally at least a year. again, see the Nourishing A Growing Baby article.
"What does WAPF recommend?
One WAPF baby formula mixes cow's milk with heavy cream and other oils, while another is made from cow's liver, beef broth, whey powder, and various oils." No. They recommend breastfeeding for at least six months, but ideally at least a year. The formula is in the case that breastfeeding doesn't happen. Yes it mixes cow's milk with oils. So do most commercial formulas... And none of the formulas include whey powder, they specifically say not to use whey powder and to use fresh homemade whey. Whey is an ingredient in most, if not all, commercial formulas.
"Infants fed cow's milk instead of breast milk or formula do not get sufficient iron, vitamin C, linoleic acid, or vitamin E, and take in excessive amounts of sodium, potassium, and protein, which can lead to dehydration and kidney damage. " This is true. If you're feeding your child cow's milk instead of breast milk or formula. The recipe is for formula and nobody is suggesting that feeding your baby cow's milk alone is safe or advisable.
" For many years, the American Academy of Pediatricians has warned against the use of any whole cow's milk during the first year of life after it was found that infants given cow's milk developed iron deficiency and occult (silent) bleeding of the digestive tract." all of the studies I have seen regarding anemia as a result of enteric bleeding have associated enteric bleeding with feeding of whole cow's milk instead of breast milk or formula, and not with iron supplemented formulas. Some have suggested that this is a result of intact milk proteins, but most infant formulas do contain intact milk proteins. Others have suggested this is a result of the low iron content of whole cow's milk and cow's milk sensitivities. Most commercial formulas use cow's milk, it is usually the first ingredient. The WAPF formula is an iron supplemented formula. Sources of iron include nutritional yeast, coconut oil, and acerola powder which increases iron absorption. Again, the formula does meet FDA nutritional requirements for infant formula.
"The Weston A. Price website states that "people with high cholesterol
live the longest," and that it is a myth " Fuhrman makes no differentiation between the types of cholesterol. Here is an article by WAPF on cholesterol. http://www.westonaprice.org/cardiova...xlc3Rlcm9sIjt9 Read the research from both sides. The documentary Fat Head actually has an interesting take on this, even using the most unhealthy diet of all.
"Dr. Mercola claims that consuming pasteurized milk (instead of raw milk) causes autism, and that coconut oil kills viruses." I don't think I've ever seen him say that pasteurized milk causes autism... and coconut oil is antiviral, and not just according the WAPF and Mercola.
"Keep in mind, I am not arguing that a person who eats no animal products (a vegan) will be healthier or will lead a longer life than one who eats small amounts of animal products (such as a small amount of fish or eggs)." I DO agree with this. The fact is that the longest living cultures, such as the Okinawans, consume little meat. But they consume it.
At least Fuhrman is being honest about the potential nutritional issues involved with veganism.
I will say that I do not agree with everything, or even a lot of things that WAPF promotes. I do believe that we consume too much meat in this country. But I also believe that Dr. Fuhrman took a very dishonest and inaccurate approach in attempting to debunk WAPF... and this was all just a big ol sales pitch:
"I advocate a diet rich in micronutrients, especially antioxidants and phytochemicals, and the largest percentage of everyone's diet must be from unrefined plant foods-no matter what your genetic "type."
In order to do this, you must understand the nutrient density of all foods and eat more foods higher on the nutrient density scale. (Animal products are very low in nutrient density.) This nutrient per calorie density principle is what my book Eat to Live is about."
Ah, Dr. Fuhrman. At the end of your highly questionable rant, you say suggest that we should learn about nutrition from YOUR book... you know, the book we would have to buy, thus putting money in your wallet. He, like most health "gurus" is just trying to turn a profit.
and at the end of the day, their cow's and goat's milk infant formula recipes are very similar to the ingredients in commercial formulas and they do meet the FDA's nutritional requirements. There is nothing Dr. Fuhrman can say to debunk those facts.

Re: An alternative to store bought formula!
Thanks for the very thorough reply. To be quite honest, I did not fact-check or go any further after reading Fuhrman's article to verify His claims, only because - my time was up. 2 little ones, i get limited time on the pc. So i'd been researching in spurts, not always best, and a good way to lose train of thought. Further, I actually did not read the entire thing, since i was focusing on formula, so i just read the top part and not the other sections. Had i read to the end as you did, i to would've grown very suspicious to see him touting his book...and I want to apologize for even posting my previous post in case it caused any other mamma to hesitate in the pursuit of making their own formula. I guess once i read the part where he lists the "irresponsible and potentially dangerous" ideas the WAPF touts, and stuff like "permanent brain damage can occur from the feeding of whole cow's milk to babies..." I turned off to the whole idea.
So since i really don't have it in me to make my own formula (at least i'm cloth-diapering and i'm even catching flack for that, in that hubby & mom thinks it's taking up too much of my time) i'm curious - what DO you think of Babie's Only? Assuming arsenic is in fact, not a concern? Here's a link to the ingredients list: http://naturesonedirect.com/organic-...rmula.html#105
Re: An alternative to store bought formula!
For me, I like making my own formula. I know exactly where my ingredients are coming from, I can guarantee it's not in BPA containers (I stored it in glass,) I know how it was handled and that there won't be any weird contamination issues. However, if I didn't want to make my own or I couldn't make my own, I don't think I would use Baby's Only, even if the arsenic issue had never occurred. I don't like that sugar is the first ingredient. Which is what these syrups are. I think it's too much sugar for a baby. yes, they require a lot of carbs, but the sugar content seems high to me. My other issue is the lack of whey in the formula. Whey is added to try to bring the whey-casein ratio of cow's milk closer to that of human milk. Nature's One claims that the difference in the whey-casein ratio doesn't cause adverse health effects, but several countries do mandate adding whey to infant formulas to bring the ratio closer to that of human milk. I personally would prefer that there be whey in the formula because I want it to be as close to breast milk as possible. Having such a different whey-casein ratio forms more curds in the stomach and those are hard to digest. i've heard of many babies becoming constipated while eating Baby's Only, and this is likely the reason.
Baby's Only doesn't contain additional lactose. Human milk has more lactose than cow's milk, so they should be adding lactose to the formula, in my opinion. Baby's Only also contains two soy ingredients. While most, if not all commercial formulas contain soy, I prefer to minimize exposure to soy as much as possible because of it's estrogen mimicking properties.
And finally, unless you purchase the DHA version of Baby's Only, your baby will not be getting DHA. DHA comes from animal products or algal oils. Unless you are using an algal oil, you need to use some kind of animal product to provide DHA. Cow's milk alone does not provide very much DHA at all and is not sufficient. The human body is not very efficient at converting ALA to DHA. very little ALA ever becomes DHA.
Although other formulas do contain Martek's DHA, which may or may not be GM and may or may not be extracted with hexane, the DHA portion of the formula accounts for a very tiny amount of the ingredients, less than one percent. Considering the other issues I have with Baby's Only are much more nutritionally significant, I would not recommend Baby's Only.
The formula I used before I learned about homemade formula was Parent's Choice Organic from Walmart. Parent's Choice is made by the same company as Earth's Best and is basically the generic version. Their parent company is called PBM. It costs half as much as Earth's Best. You can see their ingredients at these sites:

Re: An alternative to store bought formula!
That's a great tip about Parent's Choice, i will look into that now. I did check yr link to WAPF recipes to make your own...and yeah, no, i'm not, just Not going to do that. Wouldn't even know where to begin to get some of the ingredients. Wish i were a better person - props to all you mammas who do.
You make a persuasive case against Baby's Only. I've been on the fence about them anyway so at least you've helped me to knock them off the list. So if that only leaves Earth's Best or Similac Organic, and you're saying Parent's choice is generic for Earth's best and at half the price...I have a new trail to follow...
Thanks a lot!

oh, and you're right about Baby's Only and constipation...i've come across several comments from people who say they've experienced that with their infants on Baby's Only. But, i would've thought that is because of the rice syrup?? Or is that not as binding as whole rice is (remember the BRAT diet to help for diarrhea, Bananas, Rice, Applesauce & Toast)?

Re: An alternative to store bought formula!
You're obviously up on yr formulas and ingredients, do you mind if i pick your brain with one more thing? I checked the links and compared, it's clear that Parent's Choice is very much like the Earth's Best Organic except that it uses corn syrup where EB has glucose syrup. (for some reason though the Parent's Choice, states it's the National Brand Equivalent to Similac Organic). Well, I looked up Similac Organic to compare ingredients...and its first ingredient is organic Nonfat milk http://abbottnutrition.com/Products/...dvance-organic
as opposed to the whey ingredients the other two listed. The Similac O. doesn't seem to have whey, which as you explained above, wd go a long way to making it more like breast milk and is imp. However, wouldn't you consider the milk component more important in a formula??
But here's the thing, for the heck of it, I am also looking at the ingredient list of the Similac Advance which we are currently on - and it actually looks like the best of both worlds: nonfat milk first ingredient, as well as the whey, only 1 soy ingredient -soy oil (listed 4th) and of course it has C. Cohini oil and M. alpina to get you the DHA. And now i'm left scratching my head as to what originally alarmed me to the point that i got to researching a diff formula to go onto? Lol! Well, i think it's my concern about GMOs if i had to guess. And, from everything i've been reading these past few days, looks like there's no certified-free-of-GMOs formula out there, even the organic ones. Maybe i should stick with this one since DD seems happy with it. I guess however that at least the organic ones i think, at least the milk portion of it would have to have been free of bovine growth hormones and i'm not sure that's the case for regular old Similac Adv. I think i'll go research that now!
Hope I'm not overloading you, I really appreciate yr input!

Re: An alternative to store bought formula!
We use Baby's Only because it is literally the only formula she tolerates that doesn't have corn. We tried numerous formulas, all the way down to EleCare, an amino acid formula and she had so many issues with them ranging from aggravated reflux, eczema, gas and stomach issues, not sleeping, and with Elecare severe silent reflux that warranted thickening. We couldn't find something that agreed with her for thickening either, but if we didn't she would refuse to eat.
So, at my last effort I saw that Baby's Only uses no corn syrup solids and if there is corn in it, it is so minute it doesn't bother her. We use the Soy version. I'm not a fan of soy in the least, but at least it's non GMO. She has a milk protein intolerance. She couldn't even tolerate the hydrolyzed milk protein in Alimentum Ready to Feed, and that's only 2 percent and corn free.
So yeah, I think Baby's Only is an amazing company and I absolutely love their formula since she is once again eating and no longer needs thickened formula and actually sleeps. On top of that, she is thriving. Avoiding corn is a PITA though, it's in everything. At least we figured out the issue though.
OH, as for constipation, we have not had that issue at all. If anything her poops are back to normal. She was very constipated on EleCare. We had to add a tsp of flax oil in a bottle a day to keep her regular. I still use it though because it helps a lot with a non food related eczema patch on her arm.
Happy Wife and Mom to a crazy hyper boy born 7-11-09! and a wonderful daughter born 5-3-12

Baby was born at 7 pounds 5 ounces by C section after I had been on IV for 18 hours. Her face was really puffy and so was mine, so I think we got filled up with fluids. She lost 10.8% of her body weight in hospital, they gave her formula bottles secretly behind my back without telling me, and they scared me about the weight loss. I was so naive that I was worried something terrible could happen to her. I wanted to breastfeed but she was very sleepy and wouldn't feed most of the time. She also struggled with nipple confusion. They wouldn't let me leave the hospital for 5 days until her weight went up, and her discharge weight was 6 pounds 11 ounces.
It was hard to find a pediatrician. Everyone said they weren't accepting new patients. So I doubt I'll be able to switch to a new one. Also where I live a lot of doctors don't speak good english, so I am lucky to at least have a pediatrician that can speak english.
Anyways my baby was a slow gainer. The pediatrician said that she wasn't getting enough milk from me and that I should switch her to formula. He said that the problem with breastfeeding is that you can't tell how much they're getting. Well I didn't switch her to formula completely but I topped up, both with formula and with breast milk that I was pumping. But she still gained really slow. After two and a half weeks of this I decided to put her back to the breast and we successfully eliminated bottles. It was a gradual process but we succeeded. She was back at birth weight when she was three and a half weeks old.
She was weighed again two weeks after this and had gained 4 oz per week. The doctor still thought this wasn't fast enough and again tried to push formula on me. And I tried to explain that I believe my baby has reflux, and possible cow's milk allergy, and he dismissed both.
Do you think she needs to go back on formula top-ups? She feeds 10-14 times a day, gets 6-10 pees a day and 4-7 poos. Her poop is bright yellow, mostly liquid but sometimes seedy and a bit stringy. She is a needy baby who needs to be held in my arms for most of the day.
She is generally happy, she is 7 weeks old now and has just started to give me big happy smiles. She fusses at times. Her fussiness is associated with reflux-type behaviour. She will spit up a LOT after a feeding, needs to be burped very often, and acts like she has a belly ache and whines until I can get a good burp out of her. She often comes off the breast coughing. I cut milk out of my diet 3 days ago and since then, these behaviours have gotten less frequent. Her infant acne has gotten better, she's started sleeping better, and the red ring around her butt (which the doctor said was normal diaper rash and not a sign of allergy) has almost totally gone away.
Do you think she has reflux and/or cow's milk allergy? Do you think I'm right or should I listen to the doctor? What is your opinin on the weight gain issues? Should I start topping up with formula again?
I apologize for the long post but I wanted to be sure to include all of the relevant details.

Local parish celebrates 75 years of service and fellowship with banquet
Our Mother of Mercy Catholic Church commemorated its 75th anniversary Saturday, July 28, with a celebration banquet at the Beaumont Civic Center. "It was an opportunity to both celebrate the church's achievements over the last 75 years, as well as to honor some of our parishioners for good stewardship," said Coquese Williams, banquet chair.
Among those honored were adults Estrelda Sonnier, Sam Peterson and Norris Baptiste Jr., and youths Norris Baptiste and Chastity Garrett.
The anniversary banquet is held every 25 years, the last in 1987. Approximately 550 people turned out for this year's event, including parishioners, ex-parishioners, family members and friends.
One parishioner, Ronald J. Fontenot, 70, has been a member of the church for more than 60 years and was present at both the 50th anniversary banquet and the 75th.
"I thank God for letting me live this long … my family and I have really been blessed by the Lord," Fontenot said. Fontenot's wife, Dorothy, and he have been married 46 years. Their wedding took place at Our Mother of Mercy, located at 3390 Sarah St. in Beaumont, in 1966.
Father Henry Davis, reverend of the parish, said the banquet was only part of a yearlong celebration of the church's history, which has been a history of service to the community.
"For Our Mother of Mercy, 75 years is a great feat and a great blessing," Davis said.
Bishop Curtis Guillory of the Diocese of Beaumont was also in attendance and said the event was very inspiring and spirit lifting.
"The event reminded the people how the church has grown through the years," Guillory said. "It's growing and it is effective in terms of worship and community outreach. The church is very present. Seventy-five years ago, there were a handful of people and a priest. They had a desire to please God, to worship God, and to have a center at which they could not only worship, but also hold social events. They came together and built a church. Of course, they had many challenges because this was during the time of segregation. It was their dream to build a church, and they pooled together and prayerfully worked together (to make it happen)."

dosent seem to be much difference between F9 and 5.9 why worry about a defunct system that did basicly the same thing as the current system.
LL, have you ever noticed that there are no beginner climbers who enter into discussion with you here about these topics that you obsess about?
Building a bolt anchor is only cheating if you have your head stuffed so far up your ass that you will never see daylight again, ever..
In the rating, the one with bolt will rate the route II 5.7...and the other will have a rating of IV 5.7. The distinction between II and IV is very important. It is the two hours longer that you take to make the route like the first climber who did the route.
Building gear anchors is dead easy therefore there is nothing to cheat over ::)ree.
In your 6 pitch 5.7 scenario, bolted and unbolted above.If Grade II is half a day.Adding two hours would barely make it Grade III A full day.Grade IV is a full day to one and a half days.

Music lovers who have seen "The Audition," the documentary about a vocal competition at the Metropolitan Opera, may remember tenor Michael Fabiano as the dark, almost brooding presence who stands out in sharp contrast to his chipper, smiling fellow contestants.
The film takes viewers backstage where 10 young singers were competing in the finals of the Met's 2007 National Council Auditions for prize money and a career boost. Fabiano, only 22 at the time, is memorable for the blunt, tell-it-like-it-is attitude he reveals in such remarks as: "You know, people don't love each other ... they have to play that game," and, "There's always going to be another tenor in line to do my job."
On the strength of his urgent, emotionally charged singing — if not his sunny personality — the judges named Fabiano one of six winners that year, and since then he has performed in many leading opera houses and concert halls, including in Berlin, Milan and Paris. He has sung twice at the Met, most recently last fall as Cassio in Verdi's "Otello" with Renee Fleming.
But on Monday night, he makes his highest-profile New York appearance yet, singing the role of Oronte in Verdi's "I Lombardi" in concert with the Opera Orchestra of New York at Lincoln Center's Avery Fisher Hall.
"I've been chomping at the bit to do this opera," Fabiano said in an interview this week after a rehearsal in a West Side Manhattan studio. "It's not the longest role for a Verdian tenor, but it's highly memorable to the public ear because the music is so tuneful and beautiful."
"I Lombardi," Verdi's fourth opera, is set during the First Crusade. Oronte, son of the ruler of Antioch, doesn't appear until the second of four acts, and by Act 3 he's been mortally wounded. But he sings the score's best-known aria, "La mia letizia infondere." He also gets to suffer one of those extended operatic death scenes usually reserved for sopranos, and he even reappears briefly from heaven in Act 4 to help lead the Christians to victory.
"Every moment I'm onstage is consequential," Fabiano said, adding, "I've got to deliver a huge range of dynamics, from very soft to very loud. I have to be able to show my voice is fluid, that I can move up and down the scale quickly and that I can sustain long, high notes."
Fabiano's co-star on Monday will be soprano Angela Meade, who studied with him at Philadelphia's Academy of Vocal Arts and was also a winner of those Met auditions. In rehearsal that day they had ended a duet on a prolonged high B-flat, and Fabiano admits there's a bit of good-natured competition to see who can hold it longer. "We're both strong personalities," he said. "And we feed off of each other's energy."
Though rarely performed, "I Lombardi" has an illustrious history in New York. The Met's one and only production was staged in 1993 for Luciano Pavarotti. The OONY has done it twice before, both times with exceptional tenors: Jose Carreras in 1972 and Carlo Bergonzi in 1986.
Fabiano, who describes his voice as a "middleweight lyric tenor," looks forward in coming years to performing more early Verdi operas, like "Il Corsaro" and "Attila," and also the heavier bel canto works of Donizetti, like "La Favorite" and "Roberto Devereux."
This summer he will sing the role of Alfredo in Verdi's "La Traviata" for his debut in Santa Fe, N.M., and then appear as Alfred in a new production of the Johann Strauss operetta "Die Fledermaus" at the Met, opening on New Year's Eve.
Fabiano was born into a musical family in New Jersey but went to college at the University of Michigan intending to major in business and economics. Then he started studying voice with faculty member George Shirley, who in the 1960s had become the first African-American tenor to sing leading roles at the Met.
"With George telling me that I had the goods, that I should go for it, I made the calculation that it would be wise to study," Fabiano said. "He thought that I had a great gift that I needed to make better, and that if I didn't share it I was doing an injustice to at least some people, and so I had to pursue it. I agree with that kind of philosophy."
From Michigan, he went on to AVA, where his voice teacher was Bill Schuman, with whom he continues to study, along with two coaches who help him prepare new roles.
Six years later, how does the 28-year-old Fabiano — still very young for a successful opera singer — look back on his earlier self as documented in "The Audition"? The rough edges appear to have smoothed out, but the underlying drive to succeed at all costs is still there.
"I think everybody grows over time," he said with a wry smile. "I'm glad the Met showed the world what we do as competitors and as opera singers, what goes on behind the curtain.
"As much as the public doesn't want to admit it, the world is competitive."

The goalkeeper has been touted as a transfer target for Premier League leaders Manchester United, while Manchester City, Arsenal and Liverpool have also reportedly shown interest.
Despite growing speculation that the Bosnian is keen to complete a move to the Red Devils, the 25-year-old has now stated that he is likely to remain at the Britannia Stadium and is looking ahead to the rest of the season.
|Jack Butland is 3/1 to sign for Stoke before 1 February 2013 with Bet Victor
"I don't see anything happening now. I think that time's passed. I'm just concentrating on what I need to do here."
Potters boss Tony Pulis has been linked with a move for Birmingham keeper Butland, with reports suggesting the club are poised to make a formal bid after the 19-year-old rejected Chelsea due to the prospect of no first-team football.
Current number one Begovic insisted that the Englishman's arrival would be great for the club and would only add to the healthy competition for the starting position in between the goalposts.
"[I'm] looking forward to it," he added. "If he comes in he's another great talent.
"Obviously we have a good group of goalkeepers already here and it'll be good to have the competition around. I would welcome him if he comes, for sure, he's a big talent and I'm sure he'd make us better."
Stoke, however, face stiff competition for the youngster's signature with Southampton and Everton both failing to land the player in the summer, and with Liverpool, Fulham, Newcastle and Premier League reigning champions City also on alert.

Those are so cute! That is too funny about him thinking that about the girl! Soon, it will be the other way around!ReplyDelete
Love it! I also bought the whistles last week when they had free shipping, but I had to do 2 packs since I have 4 doing valentines this year. How did you attach the whistles to the cards?ReplyDeleteReplies
I did what Kalleen did. I used a small dot of hot glue. It seems like the glue would peel off easily once you pull the whistle off. You could probably also use glue dots.Delete
you have another winner and those boys are just becoming cuter/handsomer every photo. Baden is opening up more and more. Maybe he is getting ready to be a big HAPPY brotherReplyDelete
These are awesome! I had already bought some stuff to make our own (a different style) but wonder what design software you use?ReplyDeleteReplies
I use ipiccy and picmonkey. Both are online and free.Delete
What a great idea. This made me laugh mine little boy is going through that funny fake smile thing too. It's a pretty similar one actually!ReplyDelete
This was such a cute idea, I had to do something like it ;) Thanks for the inspiration!ReplyDelete
I'm just now seeing these and can I tell you how awesome you are for having non-candy Valentine's! We've struggled with the candy holidays because my boys have a dye sensitivity and it turns them into Jeckyl/Hyde type kids.ReplyDelete
Thank you so much for leaving a comment! If you are asking a question and you do NOT have your profile linked to your email address, I will respond in the comment section, so just come back to check it later. Thanks!

Real Talk: 7 Pitches For Amber Rose's New VH1 Reality Show
The Title: Kissed By A Rose
The Premise: Take one guess what this show is about. That's right: Amber Rose is back on the market and looking for love again. After her roller-coaster relationship with Kanye West, she needs a man (or possibly a woman) who shares her interests in art, fashion and music—and she needs that person to be able to fill Yeezy's Yeezys.
Will It Work? Obviously. At this point, VH1 could do a show about Vanilla Ice looking for love and the ratings would be through the roof. Shows about celebrities and their relationships will always do well, but they're also cheap ways to get attention and should only be used as a last resort. So Amber might want to think long and hard about going this route before she does.

The CTA will study how to improve the Forest Park branch of the Blue Line between the Clinton and Forest Park stops, the agency announced Thursday.
The $1 million study will start next month, and the CTA will host public meetings this summer, CTA spokesman Brian Steele said.
"In terms of slow zones and deterioriation, I don't know if we would characterize [the Forest Park Blue Line branch] as the worst [section of the CTA], but it is reaching the end of its useful lifespan," Steele said.
There is no funding set aside for Forest Park branch improvements.
The study is being paid for by federal funding, some through the Village of Oak Park, and a $100,000 matching grant from CTA.
The Forest Park branch was built in 1958. The study is being done in conjunction with the reconstruction of the Eisenhower Expressway.
The CTA said it also plans this summer to deep clean and repair the Austin Blue Line stop.
In addition, the agency will perform some maintenance on the Forest Park branch in 2014. Nearly 28 percent of the branch was under slow zone last month.

March 23, 2004
BRUSSELS, Belgium - Former Yale track and cross country stars Kate and Laura O'Neill were members of Team USA at the 2004 IAAF World Cross Country Championships on Mar. 20. Kate was Team USA's top finisher in the senior women's long course race. She placed 15th overall with a time 28:37. Laura was 38th overall with a time of 29:27.
The races at Ossegem Park in Laken Brussels were held under cloudy skies with temperatures in the low 50s. Competitors also had to deal with breezy conditions and a steady drizzle, along with an occasional downpour. The moisture caused the course to become wet and slippery with numerous patches of mud.
"It was sort of crazy with the crowd and the mud," Kate said. "I couldn't get a sense of pace, so I tried to make it hurt the whole way, and put as much effort into it as I could in the places you could, because it was muddy in some spots, and you had to anticipate those spots and go fast when the footing was good. Luckily, things worked out pretty well. I thought it paid off to swing out and run on firmer ground."
Team USA placed fifth overall in senior women's long course race.
Said Laura, "I knew it was going to be really crowded in the beginning and pretty muddy. It was fun running with the mud splashing, and I am pretty happy with my performance. It was really neat hearing people cheer in different languages. It's the most challenging course I've ever been on."

The Post 64 Dodgers of Heber Springs outlasted Morrilton 8-7 on Saturday at the Heber Springs Sports Complex.
The Post 64 Dodgers of Heber Springs outlasted Morrilton 8-7 on Saturday at the Heber Springs Sports Complex.
Ross Harrison of Harding Academy picked up the victory on the mound, giving up five earned runs while striking out five and not allowing a walk through six. With Heber clinging to a one-run lead entering the seventh, Michael Ludwig picked up the save, striking out the first two and working around a two-out error by inducing a pop-out handled by Shane Miller at shortstop.
Morrilton jumped in front with four runs in the top of the first but the Dodgers scratched across a run in the bottom half when Ludwig singled and scored. Trailing 4-1, Doc Weaver doubled and scored in the second.
Morrilton tacked on an insurance run for a 5-2 lead entering the bottom of the third but the Dodgers responded with two runs, sparked by a Harrison triple. Down 5-4 entering the bottom of the fourth, Heber took its first lead.
Post 64 evened the scoreboard when Cody Masterson of Mount Vernon-Enola, who finished 1-for-2 with 2 RBIs, singled and scored. Miller, who finished 2-for-4 with two runs scored and 2 RBIs, laced a two-run triple as the Dodgers took their first lead at 7-5 before Morrilton escaped further damage.
Harrison, who finished 1-for-1 at the plate with two runs scored and three walks, pitched a scoreless fifth and Post 64 added an important insurance run in the bottom half. Jimmy Thomas ignited the Dodgers with a single and he scored on an RBI double off the bat of Caleb Spears, who played high school baseball with Harrison at Harding Academy.
With Heber leading 8-5, Morrilton scored two runs in the sixth to pull within one before Ludwig slammed the door in the top of the seventh.
Post 64 (2-1) travels to the Harrison Tournament this weekend. The Dodgers return home next week for games against Pine Bluff (Tuesday at 6 p.m.) and Lonoke (Thursday at 5:30 p.m.)

Peter Schmeichel urges Manchester United fans to be patient with David Moyes
Former Manchester United goalkeeper Peter Schmeichel has urged the club's fans to be patient with David Moyes.
Last Updated: 26/09/13 1:34pm
United have already lost twice in the Premier League this season, leading some fans to question whether the former Everton manager who succeeded Sir Alex Ferguson in July, is the right man to take the club forward.
However, following their 1-0 Capital One Cup win over Liverpool, Schmeichel has backed Moyes to be a success at Old Trafford - as long as he is given time.
"We always knew that whatever happened after Sir Alex, it would be a bumpy road. Someone had to be really brave and take that job," Schmeichel told Sky Sports News.
"We knew every little thing that he does would be scrutinised and reported on in the media. It would be a debate - is he good enough?
"Has he got a few games left before he loses his game? He signed a six-year contract, there's a reason behind the six years.
"People in football have short memories. The start of last season is the same as this season you know.
"We played relatively few number of games and had two defeats one at Everton then Spurs at home and we still managed to win by 13 points.
"I listened to the radio on the way here and they're saying it's not even a top four squad, and I'm thinking 'guys where do you get this from?"

Exercise Wednesday: Getting back on the horse
A few years ago, I got into an accident. It was about to rain and I was late to pick up my daughter. When I pulled out into the intersection, I swore to God I didn't see any cars. At least I didn't see any until I pulled in front of one of them. I can still see the woman's face as she realized she was going to hit me. The final toll was my car–actually my daughter's–and three others. No one was seriously hurt, but I stopped at the Urgent Care on the way home to have the softball-sized lump on my leg looked at.
After the accident, when I closed my eyes, I went through everything. There was no way to avoid the accident, as I didn't see the car. I couldn't have done something different because I just missed it. If I were in the same situation again, the same thing would have happened.
I made sure to drive the next day. As soon as I could, I drove through the same intersection. It was important to me to do that. It might have made the images in my mind go away. More likely, it made no difference. But it seemed important to me.
At some point in every life, someone goes through the same experience. You fall off a bike. You get thrown from a horse. You pull out in front of a car. And the time and place stick with you so you have to face them again.
Today's exercise is for your character to get back on the horse. How does it feel? Is your character nervous? Frantic? Terrified? Are they outwardly calm–and if so, what's the price of that calm? What's driving them to get back on the horse? Is it internal? Something their father said? A dare that has to be met?

This post really complements the post that I wrote today. I think that persistence–which is so useful in life in general–really is essential to writing, so adopting it as a theme of a writing project is only natural. I think I'll reblog this!

2001 Maniacs: Field of Screams (V)
"After the extremely dismissible Driftwood and Hood of Horrors, Sullivan has returned to the denizens of Pleasant Valley to chronicle their further misadventures in 2001 Maniacs: Field of Screams, a film which makes absolutely no sense, has no real plot, and is peppered with jokes that seem to be going for being merely crude and offensive rather than funny."
The work of H.G. Lewis is among the most important in the annals of horror film history. Starting off as a director of "nudie-cuties" in the 60s, he ventured into unknown territory in 1963 with Blood Feast, which is considered by most to be the first gore film. Taking into consideration the violent and bizarre nature of the film, his subsequent projects from then on out were catered to the drive-in theatre market and he soon became an underground legend. And out of all the great films that we would grow to love, few stand out like Two Thousand Maniacs, about vengeful Confederate spirits who lure Yankees into the town of Pleasant Valley to dismember and, in some instances, devour them. Essentially, it's a campy, gory variation on the musical Brigadoon, with some catchy tunes thrown in for good measure.
In 2005, producer and horror journalist Tim Sullivan released 2001 Maniacs, his love letter to the splatter films of yore and, more accurately, H.G. Lewis' filmography. At times, the film really excels at achieving a balance between gore and comedy, especially when Giuseppe Andrews is chewing the scenery like a rabid dog. But more often than not, it becomes a little too self-aware of itself and unfortunately plays for really cheap laughs of the lowest form.
After the extremely dismissible Driftwood and Hood of Horrors, Sullivan has returned to the denizens of Pleasant Valley to chronicle their further misadventures in 2001 Maniacs: Field of Screams, a film which makes absolutely no sense, has no real plot, and is peppered with jokes that seem to be going for being merely crude and offensive rather than funny.
The sequel picks up – assumedly – shortly after the events of the remake, with Mayor Buckman (Bill Moseley, replacing Robert Englund) and his fellow Pleasant Valley residents deciding to take their Guts 'N Glory Jamboree on the road after this year's round of unsuspecting Yankee victims don't show up. Now, I don't have my doctorate in ghostology but I find it kind of odd that these spirits, flesh-eating or not, can simply get up and leave their resting place – Pleasant Valley is, after all, nothing but a cemetery that turns into a town but once a year – whenever the mood strikes them. Also, they use a modern-day school bus to tote themselves around in – Um, where did they get the bus? Shouldn't they be driving around in a horse and buggy or something? – but that's the least of the film's problems. There is one goodie in store for viewers in the first few minutes: the barrel-roll death from the original, which many complained about when omitted from the remake, opens the film.
We're then introduced to our victims, the stars and crew of the reality road show, "Road Rascals." The stars, Tina and Rome Sheraton (Asa Hope and Katy Marie Johnson), are clearly a parody of Paris Hilton and Nicole Ritchie and their show The Simple Life, which would make that joke approximately a decade too late. Regardless, the Pleasant Valley folk and our hapless heroes cross paths and a decision to include the jamboree in the Sheratons' TV show is made. Soon after, a bunch of characters you can't possibly like or sympathize with are killed one-by-one in over-the-top ways, with only one of them being moderately impressive.
Moseley does an adequate job of replacing Englund, but it's Skinny Puppy's singer Ogre that does a rather unremarkable job as Harper Alexander, a role Andrews excelled at so well in the previous film. His comedic timing is off and can't find the proper medium between being menacing and campy. The humor – which is only comprised of Jew, black, Asian, gay and sex jokes – never really hits the right notes, managing to only be crude and possibly offensive rather than actually funny. Oh, and as far as the nudity goes, yes, it's chock-full of topless women, but a good horror film that does not make.
The DVD itself is extremely uneven, having a problematic audio and visual presentation. Most of the dialogue is out of sync and most of it appears to have been looped in post-production, while the video quality varies in almost every shot. Shadowing and lighting issues plague most of the film, which is more than likely the result of an extremely low-budget shoot, but is none the less very distracting. The extras are comprised of a fairly lengthy slide-show, a montage of cast and crew interviews (which of course features loads and loads of back-patting), and a commentary track featuring Sullivan and select members of the cast. If you hated the film, the commentary will add fuel to the fire when you hear Sullivan admit that the film really had no point.
In a somewhat recent interview, Sullivan commented that 2001 Maniacs had a lot of cooks in the kitchen and that Field of Screams was entirely his vision, for better or worse. Considering his very apparent appreciation and understanding of the genre, it's a shame that it had to be the latter.

Evan Unrau
|Assistant Coach
|First Season
Rounding out the list of new coaches for 2008-09 is Evan Unrau. Unrau comes to Santa Barbara after spending last season as the video coordinator for a Stanford program that made an incredible run to the NCAA National Championship game against Tennessee. A four-year letterwinner at Missouri, she earned Honorable Mention All-America honors after guiding the Tigers to their ninth NCAA Tournament appearance her senior season. A two-time first team all-league selection, Unrau also captained the Big 12 All-Star team that represented the United States at the 2003 World University Games in Daegu, South Korea. She was drafted by the WNBA's Washington Mystics in the third round in 2004 and played professionally in Luxembourg in 2006-07. A native of Fort Collins, Colo., Unrau graduated from Missouri in 2004 with a degree in psychology and went on to earn her masters in health education and promotion from UM in 2006. "Evan has played and coached at the highest levels and she will be such an asset to our staff," commented head coach Lindsay Gottlieb. "She was a tremendous post player and will lend her expertise to our frontcourt. Evan is also creative and sharp and coming off of her experience with Stanford -- making it to the national title game -- she will help keep UCSB at a championship level." Unrau will work mainly with post players, will be actively involved in recruiting, and will serve as the point person for the program's video operations.
