Description: Mareko Maumasi is creating some of the more exciting chef's knives that I have ever seen. He worked for years with Mastersmith Bob Kramer. It is no surprise that his understanding of kitchen knives as well as insight into working with steel is exceptional. His moniker is Maumasi Firearts. His friendship with Journeyman Smith David Lisch has helped push his knifemaking to the next level, as he has incorporated tremendously complex damascus and integral bolsters into his repertoire.
Mareko forged the complex radialed damascus to have tremendous amounts of detail hidden in the steel. Interlaced snowflakes fall against a stark night sky. The blade and bolster are all made from one solid piece of damascus. Though integral knives are regularly done in production work, creating an integral bolster in a custom setting is extremely difficult and shows the maker's skill at its best. The integral bolster was forged so as to approach the blade at an angle -- resulting in a knife that is amazingly comfortable in a pinch grip.
The handle is formed from a single piece spalted maple burl. The workmanship is beautiful, and the wood chosen is gorgeous! The convoluted whirlwind figure travels through the wood. By using stabilized wood, Mareko has ensured that his knife will hold up well to the demands of either a home or commercial kitchen. The contoured handle ensures a comfortable and safe grip. Alternating cooper nickel and micarta spacers set between the handle and integral bolster assist the wood to adjust to temperature and humidity changes. Cooper nickel brings in warm tones, but does not tarnish like copper and brass.
A gorgeous piece built for serious use, yet among the more dramatic kitchen knives that I have come across.

Fire Destroys Office of New Orleans-Based Organization, Arson Suspected
By Kellee Terrell
May 29, 2012
Another day, another attack on women.
Although small fires apparently had been set in at least four different places in the group's offices -- four rooms plus a bathroom and kitchen -- the damage was concentrated in one room. With the walls blistered in black bubbles and the ceiling partially destroyed, the fire had destroyed or heavily damaged nearly all the contents of Women With a Vision's outreach office.
Police are still looking for the person who may have done this.
Obviously, Deon was devastated. View video of her discussing the fire below:
WWAV was co-founded by Deon's mother and several other black women in 1991 as a social service organization "to promote wellness and disease prevention for women and their families living at or below the poverty line." It was created as a response to the lack of HIV prevention resources for women who were the most at risk: poor women, sex workers, women with substance abuse issues and transgender women.
Over the years, WWAV has helped hundreds of women, by doing outreach, distributing condoms and referring women to other services they may need, such as legal assistance and housing. WWAV also provides clothing for women to wear to interviews; hygiene supplies for women, men and children; HIV/AIDS testing; and food.
In 2011, WWAV and other advocates in Louisiana got a set of outdated crimes against humanity laws overturned. Under those laws, sex workers had to register as sex offenders for a maximum of 10 years and have the words "sex offender" printed on their photo identification cards. Last June, Governor Bobby Jindal signed into law a bill that effectively moves prostitution convictions back to the level of a misdemeanor.
It's because of her amazing work and dedication that in 2010 TheBody.com named Deon one of five "People Who Made A Difference" and in 2011 she was an honorable mention.
In a letter posted on WWAV, Deon goes into detail about the items that were ruined, all of which are critical to the work WWAV does in the community. She wrote:
Immediate Meeting Spaces for WWAV Events. We are in the process of finding a new permanent home, but also need immediate assistance with space. We have several coalition meetings that were to be held at the WWAV office next week, and our new micro-enterprise program is scheduled to launch early next week. New Orleans friends, do you have conference room space you can lend? Member programming will need to accommodate 10-15 people. Coalition events will bring together 20-25 people.
I never would have imagined that in 2012 someone could have so much hate and disregard that he or she could do something this heinous to an organization that does so much to help others. I take this attack personally not only because Deon is a colleague, but because she is also my friend.
Deon, you are in my thoughts and prayers.
You can donate to WWAV via its website.

In 2014, the US is going to produce more oil than it has ever produced. This oil needs to go somewhere.
Pipelines to handle all of this demand are still in the process of being built. But in the meantime, many millions of barrels of crude oil are being shipped around the continent by railroad.
Each year, around 150,000,000 tons of hazardous material is transported by tanker cars over thousands of miles. These tankers are designed specifically as freight carriers that can handle the liquid crude oil.
By 2008, roughly 9500 carloads of this oil were being transported by railway. As of 2013, according to the Association of American Railroads, the number has jumped up to 400,000 carloads.
There are only a few companies that manufacture them, and they have the pleasure of reaping all of the benefits. Record backlogs in revenues mean that there is interest by investors, but billionaires like Carl Icahn and Warren Buffett have already made their bets.
"The boom for building tank cars for crude oil started in 2011," said Rail Theory Forecasts' Toby Kolstad. He also added that some of the oldest and longest running companies in the United States have had high stakes in this industry for many years.
The Union Tank Car Company, a privately owned business, was formed in the late 1800s. It was originally part of John D Rockefeller's Standard Oil, and it was divested in the early 1900s.
Back in 2007, Warren Buffett and Berkshire Hathaway purchased 60% of Marmon Holdings. It is Union Tank's parent company. As of today, Berkshire Hathaway now owns 90% of the company. In his annual letter to shareholders, Buffett mentions that people should look for the companies UTLX logo on whatever tank cars they happen to see passing by.
Buffett writes, "As a Berkshire shareholder, you own the cars with that insignia."
"When you spot a UTLX car, puff out your chest a bit and enjoy the same satisfaction that John D. Rockefeller undoubtedly experienced when he viewed his fleet a century ago."
Carl Icahn was voted in as the chairman of American Railcar Industries Inc. in 1994.
This company was founded back in the late 1980s, and it began expanding into leasing tank cars as the boom began in 2011.
By September 2013, the company backlog reached 6300 railcars. This is worth about $814.5 million.
Gross sales increased by 9.8% in 2013 for American Railcar. The company also achieved an increase in operating income in the double digits. During the fourth quarter alone, they leased 3780 railcars. This is up from the same quarter in 2012, where they leased just 2190 railcars.
Greenbrier Companies Inc. is quite new to making tank cars, but it has taken it upon itself to adapt to the changing market. They started making the specialized cars between the years 2004 and 2008, when ethanol reached its peak in popularity.
The company currently has a backlog of 14,400 units worth an estimated $1.52 billion as of August 2013. During the same period last year, it only had roughly 3400 units of backlog.
"As an industry, we're pretty good at putting our foot on the brakes and then putting our foot on the accelerator when we need to respond to increased demand," said the Chief Commercial Officer of the company, William Glenn. In 2014's first-quarter, the company saw revenue of $490 million and $0.56 earnings per share. In the past two years, the company stock has risen by about 30%.
The country's biggest railcar manufacturer is known as Trinity Industries Inc. The railcar sector for the company grew from $522 million to $2.6 billion since 2010. Over the last 12 months, the corporation has actually received over 30,735 Railcar orders. Plus, it already has an order backlog of over 40,000 railcars. This is roughly worth $5.1 billion.
In a presentation to its investors, the executives of the company attributed the growth to "strong demand from the oil, gas and chemical industries."
Back in October 2013, Trinity Industries announced its quarterly earnings per share of $1.26. This is a 58% rise from the year prior. Over the past four weeks, Trinity stock has risen by nearly 11%.
The US Energy Information Administration told us on Tuesday that the output for American oil is expected to rise by 9% next year. This equates to reaching 9.3 million barrels per day. This is the highest US output in 43 years.
Even though there have been five crude oil train derailments over the last few months, the crude by rail industry is still moving along nicely and will even pick up speed during 2014.

"This non-fiction story is more riveting, captivating, and exciting than any fiction author can write.
In search of a lost cargo plane on the ice cap of Greenland, a B17 crashes with 9 people aboard. In a second rescue mission a Grumman Duck (an amphibious plane) disappears in the milky sky of Greenland.
Zuckoff gives us a harrowing and nailbiting WW II story of hope, despair, perseverance, heroism, and survival and a contemporary account of how some volunteers are trying to recover the Grumman Duck and to bring home the remains of it's crew.
You'd better get 'Lost in Shangri La' then 'Frozen in Time (in Greenland.'
Great 5 star book."
— Jean-Paul Adriaansen, Water Street Books, Exeter, NH
#1 New York Times bestseller!
Frozen in Time is a gripping true story of survival, bravery, and honor in the vast Arctic wilderness during World War II, from the author of New York Times bestseller Lost in Shangri-La.
On November 5, 1942, a US cargo plane slammed into the Greenland Ice Cap. Four days later, the B-17 assigned to the search-and-rescue mission became lost in a blinding storm and also crashed. Miraculously, all nine men on board survived, and the US military launched a daring rescue operation. But after picking up one man, the Grumman Duck amphibious plane flew into a severe storm and vanished.
Frozen in Time tells the story of these crashes and the fate of the survivors, bringing vividly to life their battle to endure 148 days of the brutal Arctic winter, until an expedition headed by famed Arctic explorer Bernt Balchen brought them to safety. Mitchell Zuckoff takes the reader deep into the most hostile environment on earth, through hurricane-force winds, vicious blizzards, and subzero temperatures.
Moving forward to today, he recounts the efforts of the Coast Guard and North South Polar Inc. – led by indefatigable dreamer Lou Sapienza – who worked for years to solve the mystery of the Duck's last flight and recover the remains of its crew.
A breathtaking blend of mystery and adventure Mitchell Zuckoff's Frozen in Time: An Epic Story of Survival and a Modern Quest for Lost Heroes of World War II is also a poignant reminder of the sacrifices of our military personnel and a tribute to the everyday heroism of the US Coast Guard.
Mitchell Zuckoff is a professor of journalism at Boston University and the author of five previous books, including the New York Times bestseller Lost in Shangri-La, which won the Winship/PEN Award for Nonfiction. As a reporter for the Boston Globe, he was a Pulitzer Prize finalist and won the Distinguished Writing Award from the American Society of Newspaper Editors. He lives in Newton, Massachusetts.

Probably worth explaining the situation in your PS or an extra letter. You'll do much better than someone with a standard 3.5gpa and not as well as someone with a full 3.98. Overall I'd guess you've got a reasonable shot at all the top 10 and a very good shot at the lower 1/3rd of the top 10. The more recent performance is probably all that really matters in guessing how well you'll do in law school, but law schools are also interested in moving themselves up the USNWR rankings and of course the LSAC reported UGPA is a big factor there.... Expect to do better at schools less nervous about their rank than those more nervous. Note that the LSAC "normalizes" your gpa and spits out a number. Its possible you'll get a boost from that too - I don't know how they handle situations like yours. My GPA at a not-so-great state school got bumped up by about 0.1.
That being said, I was planning on applying to Harvard, Stanford, Columbia, NYU, Chicago, UPENN, UC Berkeley, Georgetown, Duke, UNC. Figure that gives me a wide enough net to where I should be fine
Quote from: marcus-aurelius on July 18, 2010, 06:27:02 PMThat being said, I was planning on applying to Harvard, Stanford, Columbia, NYU, Chicago, UPENN, UC Berkeley, Georgetown, Duke, UNC. Figure that gives me a wide enough net to where I should be fineSomething is missing from that list... You should apply to Yale as well. If you make it past the initial screening, I suspect Yale will be more willing than many other schools to consider your special circumstances.I also agree with bike on the general subject.Either way, good luck.
My LSAT score is a 173. MY GPA for my entire undergraduate career will be a 3.5. I went to school (college) from 2000-2001 and was simply not interested in education. I dropped out. I went back in 2007 and have recevied all A's short of 1 A- (my graduating GPA will be a 3.98)I volunteer with the local county courthouse and have interned at a law office as well.My question is what are my chances for a top 10 school? I will write an addendum explaining my progression.

Suit against state must proceed
For going on four months now, a state official has been considering whether Charla Nash, the victim of a horrific chimpanzee attack in 2009, should be allowed to sue the state of Connecticut.
Let's put aside for a moment the dubious credibility of a system set up to let an official appointed by the governor and approved by the General Assembly decide whether the state can be sued.
Charla Nash deserves her day in court and she is entitled to sue the state of Connecticut.
She was horribly disfigured in an attack by a 200-pound chimpanzee that a state of Connecticut employee, less than a year before the attack, described to her supervisors in the then-state Department of Environmental Protection as "an accident waiting to happen."
If that is not grounds enough to show that the state may have some liability in what then in fact happened on Feb. 16, 200, what is?
J. Paul Vance, the state claims commissioner, has not yet ruled on a motion from state Attorney General George Jepsen asking for Nash's claim to be dismissed.
The state maintains it can't be held responsible for the actions of a privately owned animal.
The fact that state officials were aware of Travis the chimpanzee, which had lived since infancy in the Stamford house of Sandra Herold, Nash's friend, and were leery of his behavior is certainly compelling enough to support her petition.
If a jury does not find it compelling enough to come down in her favor, so be it.
But to say she's not entitled to bring her case is defenseless.
Commissioner Vance needs to reject the Attorney General's motion and let this case go forward. As one of Nash's attorney's, Charles Willinger, said at a hearing on the matter last year, Vance has to act as the "conscience of this state" when it comes to Charla Nash.

Attendees got a rare look at a section of Option Elm, the tree Farmer Garland stood underneath when he sold the property to Percy Megan and E.A. Sutherland.
Gerry Karst, chair of the Andrews University Board of Trustees, introduced the theme by relating his personal life story of God's leading. Interspersed throughout the award presentations were vignettes on God's Guidance (Ron Knott), God's Providence (Don Murray), God's Protection (Ann-Marie Jones) and God's Support (Keith Mattingly).
Excellence in Service Award Recipients
Three staff members were honored with Excellence in Service Awards. Dixie Scott, admissions director for the Department of Physical Therapy; Esther Lonto, senior accountant for the Office of Financial Records; and Rebecca May, director of campus relations for the Office of Integrated Marketing & Communication. The award is given in recognition of outstanding service to the university, the church, and the community, and for demonstrating, by precept and example, a Christ-centered life.
Daniel A. Augsburger Excellence in Teaching Award
Seven faculty members were honored with the Daniel A. Augsburger Excellence in Teaching Award. This award recognizes faculty whose teaching reflects the high standards of excellence modeled by Dr. Augsburger in his 60 years of teaching at Andrews University. Augsburger's leadership, academic rigor, breadth of knowledge, teacher-scholar role, along with care and concern for students, exemplify the best of faculty endeavors. Faculty from each school nominates and chooses their individual candidates. This year's recipients were: John Baldwin, professor of theology, Seventh-day Adventist Theological Seminary; Elvin Gabriel, associate professor of educational and counseling psychology, School of Education; Ann Gibson, professor of accounting, School of Business Administration; H. Thomas Goodwin, professor of paleobiology, College of Arts & Sciences; Duane Habenicht, associate professor of aeronautical technology, College of Technology; Kristin von Maur, assistant professor of architecture, School of Architecture; and Susan Zork, assistant professor of religion, College of Arts & Sciences.
Two long-time professors were paid tribute in preparation for their upcoming retirements: G. William Mutch and Peter Wong.
Since 1973 G. William Mutch has been a staple in the Andrews University community. After earning his PhD at the University of California-Davis, he began teaching in the Department of Chemistry & Biochemistry. He is known for always pushing his students toward excellence and has often been heard to say, '"We must push back the frontiers of ignorance." In 1992, Mutch received the Thomas and Violet Zapara Award for Excellence in Teaching Science, and the AUSA recognized him as Teacher of the Year in 2000. He received the John Nevins Andrews Medallion in 2004, and acted as Grand Marshal during graduation ceremonies from 1998 to 2008. His "open door" policy led many to seek his advice. As a result, he was honored as Advisor of the Year in 1991. Mutch became the AUSA faculty advisor in 1983, a position he holds to this day. In honor of his contributions, the Student Association dedicated an area in the basement of the Campus Center as the G.W. Mutch Recreation Center. Mutch has also made many contributions to the academic world outside of Andrews.
In 1969 Peter Wong was invited to join the Andrews University Department of Chemistry & Biochemistry. Wong began teaching Nuclear Chemistry, Physical Chemistry, Instrumental Analysis, Advanced Topics in Physical Chemistryand Statistical Thermodynamics, and later added Introductory Chemistry, Consumer Chemistry and Scientific Inquiry. He has served as cosponsor and then sponsor of the Chinese Club. Not too many years ago, a class of chemistry majors playfully gave Wong a nickname. It reflects the speed at which physical chemistry is presented...the name? "Wongzalez." The nickname also reflects the affection with which students hold Wong. He makes the difficult bearable by his good teaching and his good spirits. And it doesn't matter the level of the class, Wong always make it interesting.
Three individuals were recognized with 30 Years of Service Awards: (left to right) Keith Calkins, Bruce Closser and Marge Gadway.
Through a continual process of education over a period of about 30 years, Keith Calkins earned bachelor's degrees in both mathematics and physics, four master's degrees in computer information science, physics, interdisciplinary studies in mathematics & physics, and secondary education, and a PhD in physics. With expert engineering skills, Calkins played a big role in providing mainframe computing services to the campus for 15 years. Calkins has applied his usual level of dedication and creativity to his teaching career and has inspired some of Berrien County's brightest high school students at the Math & Science Center.
Bruce Closser, associate professor of English, has occupied the same office in Nethery Hall since 1978. In this small space, Closser has made a big difference on campus. He has held countless writing conferences with his students, answered thousands of phone calls, and planned more class presentations than can be listed. He serves as Director of the Writing Center, coordinating a team of student mentors who learn from his leading. Closser is an active presenter at professional and scholarly conferences. In addition to his scholarly pursuits, Closser has an artistic side. Over the years he has been involved in the Early Music Ensemble, playing the bass recorder, and directing and producing several dramatic works on the Andrews stage.
Marge Gadway, a building supervisor for the Office of Custodial Services, came to Andrews University back in 1978. She met with Bob Robinson, then director of human resources, and he told her there would soon be an opening for a supervisor at Custodial. Marge said she did not think she would be able to supervise. He told her to go talk to Mr. Oetman. When Gadway told Mr. Oetman she wasn't sure of her ability to supervise he asked if she was a mother. When Gadway answered, "yes," he told her she could do it. Gadway has reached retirement age and "a little beyond," but continues to serve Andrews University because she enjoys her work and all the students, faculty and staff she interacts with.
35 Years of Service Award Recipient
As the longest-serving professor in the School of Education's Department of Educational & Counseling Psychology, Rick Kosinski, professor of educational and counseling psychology, has dedicated his time, teaching skills and humble service to the students of Andrews University for 35 years. His experience as the president and past president of the local Berrien/Cass Counseling Association has established his reputation in counseling circles across the state. He is a member of the American Counseling Association and the American Psychological Association and has written articles for multiple scholarly journals.
40 Years of Service Award Recipient
For 40 years, Bill Chobotar, professor of biology, has poured himself out in unselfish Christ-like service to others on this campus. Appointed to the biology faculty in 1968 with a freshly minted PhD from Utah State University, he has since received more than 30 honors and awards including a predoctoral fellowship from the National Institute of Health. Former students have gone on in their scientific careers and have named two newly discovered parasites in his honor: Eimeria chobotari and Isospora chobotari. For many years Chobotar has regularly served more than 100 advisees every term.
Spiritual Life Award
June Madrigal was honored with the Spiritual Life Award for her significant contribution to the spiritual life of campus. Madrigal joined the women's residence hall team as an associate dean in July 2006. Madrigal has made an indelible impact on the program of Lamson Hall. Her own personal relationship with Jesus is clearly evident as one speaks with her, as she calls those around her to live for Jesus—to walk the walk in every aspect of their lives. Madrigal started the Pray it Forward campaign and meets with students monthly in a program called Third Thursdays during which the group encourages one another to give up something that has gotten in the way of their relationship with Jesus.
Following his closing thoughts, President Niels-Erik Andreasen and his wife, Demetra, were taken by surprise as recipients of an unannounced award. Gerry Karst, chair of the Andrews University Board of Trustees, presented an award for reaching the milestone of "the longest-serving president" of Andrews University. The Andreasens were given a gift certificate to the Chicago Symphony and a globe with the inscription "Andrews University congratulates Niels-Erik Andreasen as our longest-serving president. Presented March 2009."
Stephen Zork led the audience in the singing of Great is Thy Faithfulness, followed by Don Livesay, newly-elected president of the Lake Union Conference of Seventh-day Adventists, who concluded the program with a prayer of thanksgiving. A dessert bar capped the memorable event.
The awards portion of the evening also included recognition of employees with 5, 10, 15, 20 and 25 years of service with the University.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Mango from Warm and Gorgeous I highly recommend the black gloves. I saw the white ones in a store and they look a lot cheaper. The black ones are gorgeous and very chic without being over the top. They also never get visibly dirty because of the colour. The gloves are warm, but obviously not suitable for heavy duty use in freezing weather. They are sufficient for a short walk in the cold though. I also love how the gloves are convertible so that my palms can stay warm while using a touch screen phone. The Swarovski crystal logo and shiny button are a nice touch too.

YouTube for iOS finally updated for iPhone 5, brings AirPlay back
Posted by Jason Diaz Categories: Entertainment, App Updates, Google, Free Apps,
Saying "finally" never gets old, especially when used appropriately: the YouTube for iOS app from Google is now, finally, updated to handle iPhone 5 4-inch display, as well as the two size flavors of iPad. The update fixes a head scratcher with AirPlay: Google for "reasons unknown" deciding to limit AirPlay functionality when the app first launched, even though AirPlay is on by default whenever you code an app that has any video functionally. Here is a list of more features of version 1.1.04126. Hopefully I didn't misplace a decimal point.
- Optimized for iPad and iPhone 5
- Stream videos with AirPlay
- Tap logo to open your Guide of channels
- Add and remove videos from your playlists

Google releases Gmail 2.0 for iOS
Posted by Jason Diaz Categories: Productivity, App Updates, Google, Free Apps,
Google has finally released version 2.0 of its native Gmail client app for iOS. It has much requested features and a complete resign that is cleaner than before. TechCrunch columnist MG Siegler says the app had no influence from the Sparrow acquisition, which is surprising since version 2.0's UI looks decent. Here is a list of the updated features.
- Multiple account support
- App redesigned with a new, cleaner look
- Search predictions as you type
Hopefully the team turns its attention to the YouTube app for iOS which is sorely needing a clean revamp that also supports iPhone 5 and the iPad. Fingers crossed.

Dollhouse: Season One (US - BD RA)
Gabe wants to be imprinted with the ability to impress women like Ms. Dushku
I more or less totally missed Dollhouse upon its initial airings this year, and really hadn't felt as if this was a problem until the people around me starting talking about it with a big slant on the positive. Unlike many TV releases that find there way into my mailbox, I actually asked for this one, and because it's a first season release I didn't go into the experience minus two or three season of back-story.
I'm not a huge fan of cult television creator extraordinaire Joss Whedon, excepting Firefly, which I grew to love entirely despite myself. I'm also becoming a bit bored by popular science fiction's constant pilfering of the works of Philip K. Dick. The on-paper premise of Dollhouse – that of a shadow group keeping zombie-like human automatons in an underground lab where they use mind wiping technology to 'imprint' personalities upon them for various prostituting purposes – is not exclusive to Dick, but surely and fully in keeping with the author's favourite subjects. Dick's influential 'We Can Remember It for You Wholesale' (the basis of Paul Verhoven's Total Recall) runs on the concept of implanted memories, while the even more influential 'Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep' (the basis for Ridley Scott's Bladerunner) explores the possibilities of the human concept of soul existing within the mind of an otherwise concocted person. These possibilities are largely explored in Dollhouse, as series lead, Echo (Eliza Dushku), begins to retain some of her implanted memories, and develop a personality despite her handlers best efforts. Whedon and his co-writers are obviously aware of their debt, and do insert little bits of homage throughout the series.
Besides homage, however, Dollhouse is still very, very aware of the inherent logic problems and minor plot holes that are born out of its basic premise, and consistently 'hangs a lampshade' on the problem. 'Hang a lampshade' refers to the process of pointing out an unbelievable plot element before the audience has a chance to. At first this is somewhat refreshing, since the premise is pretty silly, and begs huge leaps of faith from its audience (really, why not just hire the right person for the job, etc), but after enough reassurance things somehow circle back to strained belief. Whedon ends up hanging lampshades on stuff a susceptible mid-season audience would probably be willing to take for granted. However, like many of the show's negative aspects, this problem could also be seen as a series-specific strength. One of Whedon's greatest strengths as a writer is his perfected ability to expertly take the air out of melodrama with self-awareness and tongue-in-cheek humour. Whedon knows that a lot of the series' appeal is found in pulp and good natured cheese. Of course, this silly and self-aware concept (blank slates that can be rewritten as an entirely different character from week to week) is a delightful act of self-serving contrivance on Whedon's part, as he can work outside of his own mythology with the standalone aspects of each episode.
As a writer Whedon thrives on the tropiest tropes available in modern storytelling, and like all good genre writers looking to create a 'tradition-based originality' he knows how to invert the tropes at the best possible moments. Sometimes he even takes the most clichéd route after firmly convincing his audience he's looking for inversion, which is especially vicious. Classic Star Trek trope coverage includes whole lot of body swapping (it's kind of the premise), and an inhibition inhibiting drug (basically 'sex pollen' without the sex), while many of Echo's missions mirror classic film sub-genre templates, such as a heist flick, a murder mystery, or a take on the 'Most Dangerous Game' motif. Perhaps the most self-aware of these devoted clichés is the presence of a 'Big Bad', a term for a season arcing villainous threat that Whedon himself practically coined. Every Whedon series since Buffy has featured a 'Big Bad', and the popularity of the practice (possibly equally attributed to the popularity of X-Files) has practically defined sci-fi/fantasy television for the last 15 years or so (as seen in varying series such as Supernatural or Smallville). But again, the tropes are used to the advantage of the overall storytelling, and without spoiling anything specific, I think that Alpha is one of the most effective (mostly) unseen villains in recent television history. By the time we are introduced to him his legend is so ingrained as an almost supernatural threat that his identity is one of the biggest shocks Whedon has ever mustered.
Modern television has developed the potentially fatal problem of creating standalone episodes under the cover of a fully seasonal arc. An entirely serialized series, like Lost, Battlestar Galatica, or Mad Men, threatens to alienate any viewer that misses a single episode, but a series based entirely on standalone episodes suffers to find a loyal audience. Shows like The Dead Zone fail in keeping the arc's threats relevant by peppering elements of the super-plot so conservatively throughout a season. Dollhouse finds just about as perfect a balance between extremes as I can possibly fathom, by featuring a specific, standalone adventures (by the nature of the premise there really should be very little to attach the events of given episodes) on all but two episodes, while devoting at least a third of each episode's runtime to the super-plot. Even better, besides the presence of a 'Big Bad', and a protagonist working outside of the system followed by the other protagonists (the lone detective, another trope), it's never entirely clear where the super-plot is going, giving way to an arc every bit as satisfying as a 24 episode long Lost arc.
Whedon also scores points by ramping up worst case scenarios almost immediately, punching volatile holes in the story that most television writers would likely dole out over a period of several seasons. If there's one overlying problem I personally have with popular modern serialized television, it's the fact that writers don't get down to brass tacks, and the incessant teasing drives me mad. Dollhouse isn't quite as balls-out as say Breaking Bad, where everything starts going wrong come the first episode, but there isn't a lot of wasted time. Perhaps this was because Whedon and his co-conspirators assumed they'd be canceled after one 13 episode season, but even if the reasons are less than regal the efforts is much appreciated.
The characters are all very Whedon-esque, and owe just as much of their filling to the perfect casting as the mature and rounded dialogue. I am a fan of Whedon, but often find his dialogue so attention grabbing and 'hip' that it has driven me out of many of his better stories. Tarantino is an apt comparison in this respect, as his wordy prose sounds great from the right mouth, yet resembles dribbly vomit when excreted from the wrong one. In the case of Dollhouse there are no obviously dull crayons in the actor box. Olivia Williams (as the iron-willed, cold as steel boss of operations Adelle DeWitt) and Harry Lennix (as Echo's off base 'handler' Boyd Langton) are my personal favourites, but this affection is mostly related to my love of the actors' other work, and the thrill of watching them work with wordy mythology. Williams is the constant scene stealer. Despite her character's inherit mean streak, and hi-def video's enhancement of her natural facial wrinkles, I'd argue that DeWitt is the sexiest woman on the show. Outside of expectations, and as a non-fan of Buffy and Angle I'm most surprised by Amy Acker (Dr. Saunders), as I was unfamiliar with her brand of quiet beauty. The mighty Count Dushku isn't quite as versatile as some have professed, but impresses consistently nonetheless. The closest thing to a weak link in the chain is Tahmoh Penikett (Agent Paul Ballard), but not due to his overall efforts as an actor as much as what I saw as underlying issues in his casting. I personally got the feeling throughout the series that Penikett was hired as a stand-in for Whedon regular Nathan Fillion.
Skip the next paragraph if you're looking to watch the series without any spoilers.
This collection's 13th episode has a strange story all its own, and I for one wish it would've ended with Fox deciding not to order it. After 12 episodes of increasing quality and intensity the season seemingly ends on a strong note. There are enough open threads to lead to a second season, but also enough closure to leave the season as a standalone. Fox wanted 13 episodes outside the unaired pilot, and assuming he wasn't going to get to finish the series Whedon decided to do a 'future shock' episode. The problem here is that this particular future shock doesn't really open the story up to more suspense, it closes the story. Assuming this is canon I'm left disappointed rather than shocked, disappointed at yet another dystopian, zombie addled future. I'd like to think this was a reactive idea on Whedon's part, and that given time he'll develop this mythology into something original, rather than a mawkish mimicry of Dawn of the Dead, 28 Days Later, The Terminator and, of all things, The Signal.
Dollhouse on Blu-ray doesn't quite compare to Lost on Blu-ray in the video department, but there isn't too much to complain about either. The lack of overwhelming perfection comes partially out of the series' style, which varies a bit with each standalone theme, but mostly sticks to a relatively diffused and warm look. Lighting and contrast levels are rarely harsh, leading to less intense hues, and more overall softness. Textures are pretty smooth, but close-up details still display plenty of sharp detail, and there isn't any distinct loss of detail in the evenly focused compositions. Grain isn't really an issue, and neither is edge enhancement, but some of the colours are less than clean. While skin tones, clothing, and most props feature un-fettered hues, the warm brown walls of most of the Dollhouse sets often dance with low-level noise, which does get a little distracting. The transfer quality is at the very least consistent, with the obvious exception of the 13th episode, which was largely shot on digital video for cheap, leading to a whole lot of digital grain, and less impressive detail levels.
The 1080p hi-def transfer may not be the best thing ever, but Dollhouse stands up to pretty much every other Blu-ray television series I've ever seen. This DTS-HD track features a great deal of aural dynamics, including subtle distress and attention grabbing extremes. The soundtrack effects are mostly hyper-natural, but more science fiction inspired sounds go along with the mind erasing/rewriting chair, which hums like a light saber, buzzes like a spaceship, and sometimes lights up like Frankenstein's lab. Directional effects aren't exactly constant, but the rear channels do act as more than just an arena for vague incidental effects. Though I find the series' title theme a bit annoying, the overall musical score is very impressive, evoking other popular work, while creating memorable themes and motifs. The use of soft mallet cymbals and lullaby like piano strike as particularly perfect for the series less action packed moments. The less bombastic music is presented clearly, while the big beat stuff punches up the LFE, and throughout the scores the rear channels are given more than the usual amount of discretion.
Extras begin with a series of commentary tracks throughout the discs. The quality of the tracks depends on the participants, but there's a relative continuity in subject matter and tone. Most participants are not surprisingly sarcastic and low-key, and there's plenty of information to absorb. The problem with the track in general is that finding the damn things is a guessing game. Which episodes feature commentary? Well, the only way to find out is to click on every episode under the episode menu until one pops up a 'play with commentary' option. On disc one the first episode, 'Ghost', features commentary with Dushku and Whedon, who have fun with the experience. Disc two features a solo track with Whedon on the episode entitled 'Man on the Street', which is, in his opinion, the first real episode of the series. Disc three features commentary with writers Jed Whedon and Maurissa Tancharoen on the ill-advised 13th episode, 'Epitaph'. Their words on the episode lead me to believe this dystopian future is supposed to be considered canon, which I don't like.
The most exciting extra as far as most fans will be concerned with the original unaired pilot episode, the one the Fox execs thought was too cerebral for Friday night audiences. Parts of the pilot were used for other episodes, including large chunks of exact footage, and a character that briefly appears in the final regular season episode, but it's reasonably clear that the episode isn't meant to be taken as canon for the most part. The episode's tone is a little darker, and there's a little more psychological mumbo-jumbo, but it's mostly more of the same, and it's strange that Fox didn't like it. Critically speaking I'm glad it wasn't aired because it gives away way too much of the super-plot too fast, and I appreciate the season's actual pacing. The episode is presented in high definition video, but the audio presentation is a simplified 2.0 Dolby Digital.
'Making Dollhouse' (20:30, HD) is more full-bodied and informative than most behind the scenes looks at television shows. Covered here is the development process (Dushku is really responsible for Fox having any interest), casting, hiring writers, shooting the pilot, starting over when the pilot was rejected, finding the a show that was creatively satisfying while still making the show Fox wanted, shooting the originally unintended 13th episode, and possibilities for the series' future.
'Coming Home' (7:00, HD) is a closer look at the gathering of the staff, many of which he'd worked with on Buffy, Angel, Firefly and Dr. Horrible, and the experience of creating new mythologies on the page and on the stage. Mostly this featurette is just made up of sweet natured nostalgia, but it's also a pretty good look behind the scenes. 'Finding Echo' (5:00, HD) is a closer look at the relationship between Whedon and Dushku, and making the series into a sort of showcase for the actresses varying talents. 'Designing the Perfect Dollhouse' (6:00, HD) is a mixed look at the production design of the main Dollhouse set, and a Whedon-guided tour of said set. 'A Private Engagement' (5:40, HD) completes the featurettes by asking various cast and crew members what they'd do if the imprinting technology were real. Fox trailers also accompany the first disc in the collection.
Dollhouse is a pretty major surprise for me. I'm not much of a Joss Whedon fanboy, and I have a tendency to be under whelmed by most fan-praised television series. It's not a perfect show, but it's very entertaining, enjoyably subversive, and appears to be going somewhere interesting, assuming the second season largely ignores the not very good 13th episode. This Blu-ray set looks fine, and sounds great, but is a little light on extras (not to mention the fact that two of the commentary tracks are basically Easter Eggs). I'd like to thank tvtropes.org for their exhaustive database, which helped me immensely in writing this review. Thanks to these guys we have names for all these constantly used narrative devices, and without them I'd have to waste words describing everything. Visit them soon, and get lost.

|Extreme Holly
Short review: Extreme Holly is very disturbing for those who aren't used to piss and puke in their sex lives. However there are some other hot clips of Holly getting anal sex and Holly getting a good, hard fucking! Extreme Holly is a bit too over the top for me, but I know that somewhere out there someone will be getting off on this craziness. Holly is a beautiful girl who is willing to try anything just once!
Content Amount: There are close to 75 different picture and video sets to choose from. That is hundreds of hours of pictures and movies to look at. They really have some unique sets to view too from Holly snorting cum through a straw to seeing Holly get her head flushed.

It was like watching a Sylvester Stallone movie, constantly yelling "Get up, Rocky!" every time the Swiss women's hockey team was knocked down by another Team USA goal.
The Swiss women manage to get up to their skates nine times on Monday, but could not deliver a single counter-punch in the three-round pummeling they received from the United States' well-oiled hockey machine.
How bad was it? At one point in the third period the United States scored twice on the same shift -- without a whistle being blown.
First, Kendall Coyne pushed the puck past Swiss goaltender Florence Schelling, but a defender pulled the puck out just after it crossed the goal line. The refs didn't see it go in, so play went on. Coyne's line scored again before another whistle was blown -- this time by Amanda Kessel.
Two goals on one shift is rare. Two goals on one shift without a stoppage in play doesn't count. After a video review, Coyne's original goal counted and Kessel's goal (which would have been her third of the game) was taken off the board.
It's not like Team USA needed both. They dominated from the start with a quick-strike attack that saw them put a five-spot on the scoreboard in the first period. That included an Olympic record of three goals in 55 seconds and a team record of fastest five goals in Olympic competition (five in a span of 6 minutes, 22 seconds, to be exact).
With the Swiss out of the way, Team USA can now focus on their only real rival -- the Canadians.
Team Canada survived a major scare later in the day against Finland and all-world goalie Noora Raty. The Finns shut down the high-scoring Canadian offense for two-plus periods with some amazing saves. The Canadians finally broke through about midway through the third period on the power play, and added two more insurance goals after that.
While the game will go down as a 3-0 shutout, it was a huge victory for women's hockey. Seriously. This game may have saved the game as an Olympic sport. With so many blowouts by the U.S. and Canada over the years, the lack of competition made Olympic organizers question whether women's hockey should continue to be featured in the Games. Everyone was waiting for a nail-biter by an underdog team against the U.S. or Canada, and Finland finally provided it.
"I've never seen them (Team Canada) celebrate as much as they celebrated that first goal," Raty told the Associated Press. "That showed they were probably getting frustrated. We have never beaten Canada in our history, but this showed we are maybe closing the gap."
Canada, for it's part, will have plenty to ponder as they head into its matchup against the United States. The rivals will face off at 7:30 a.m. ET/4:30 a.m. PT Wednesday. The game can be seen live on the NBC Sports Network and on NBCOlympics.com.

Chair Hicks called the meeting to order.
Chair Hicks asked for a motion to approve the minutes. The motion was offered and the minutes were approved unanimously.
Provost Workman stated that in order for UNF to recruit and hire qualified senior faculty and administrators, it was necessary to allow them to carry their tenure status from their previous institutions. He stated that Dr. John McAllister, Dean of the College of Business and Dr. Marsha Lupi, Associate Dean of the College of Education and Human Services both met UNF's standards for tenure by reason of hire.
Chair Hicks asked for a motion to approve tenure for Dr. John McAllister and Dr. Marsha Lupi. This motion was made, seconded and unanimously passed.
In proposing the approval of a new bachelor's degree in pre-kindergarten through third grade – ages three to grade three, Provost Workman stated that this was an existing track under a different major
Chair Hicks asked for a motion to approve a new degree program in Pre-Kindergarten/Primary Education. This motion was offered, seconded and unanimously approved.
Provost Workman stated that the proposed program in Sport Management was being transformed from a track to a major. The program was previously a physical education track and consequently, subject to teacher state certification requirements.
Trustee Gonzalez asked about the program's approval process, requesting clarification on when it was originally initiated. Ms. Shawn Brayton stated that this process was initiated more than a year ago. Both Florida State University and the University of Florida submitted similar programs to the State of Florida and a common set of prerequisites was sought and agreed upon prior to this final approval.
Chair Hicks asked for a motion to approve a new degree program in Sport Management. This motion was offered, seconded and unanimously approved.
Vice President Gonzalez stated that the Student Conduct Code was reviewed and approved by the Educational Policy Committee in January 2003. A committee composed of half faculty and half students was formed October 19, 2004 to review the current code.
Provost Workman asked for further clarification on class days – counting the number of class days. Vice President Gonzalez stated that this would be fine-tuned.
Trustee Taylor asked that the Student Code of Conduct articulate standards of student conduct, reflecting the type of conduct expected of a UNF student. President Delaney stated that the Student Conduct Code was a judicial code and Trustee Taylor's request might take the form of an ethical code, which could serve as a preamble. Trustee Taylor proposed that this request be considered for future revisions. Trustee Coggin supported this request.
Trustee Hicks asked if there was an ability to affect dress code. Vice President Stone stated that faculty could address these concerns on a case-by-case basis and that students had been counseled when dress was disruptive. On occasion this could be actionable, if extreme.
Trustee Taylor stated that if there was a clear articulation of values that permeated throughout the student body, there would be an improvement in student attitude and self-pride. Trustee Foran stated that this could be addressed in freshmen seminars.
President Delaney suggested that Vice President Gonzalez and Associate Vice President Malcolm take this into consideration.
Clarification was requested regarding weapons on campus – particularly involving Greeks. Vice President Gonzalez stated that some weapons were allowed on campus when deemed appropriate. Vice President Stone stated that the University Police Department was competent in dealing with weapons infractions.
Trustee Abdullah asked that a stronger statement be made regarding harassment. Vice President Gonzalez stated that the existing statement allowed the university to bring flexibility to a variety of different situations. Chair Thompson stated that the existing statement was better than a narrower one.
Chair Hicks asked for a motion to approve the Student Conduct Code. This motion was offered, seconded and unanimously approved.
President Delaney stated that community colleges had begun offering baccalaureate degrees. There were differences of opinion between the Board of Governors (BOG) and the Florida Board of Education (FBOE) on who should regulate or oversee the baccalaureate degree approval process for community colleges. UNF's administration had agreed to support the BOG's oversight of the process. Currently, the bill before the Legislature allowed for the FBOE to oversee this.
President Delaney stated that UNF did not want to take the position of disallowing community colleges from offering the appropriate baccalaureate degrees.
This item was for informational purposes and did not require approval.
Ms. Brayton stated that each year, the U. S. News and World Report puts out a ranking of colleges and universities. Reputations of universities are frequently reported based on these rankings and UNF ranked 54 out of the 64 top southern regional universities.
These rankings were based on a number of different indices, including peer assessment, retention, faculty resources, and student selectivity and class size. UNF dropped in the peer assessment category over the last two years, currently ranking 2.9 out of 5.0. There was no clear understanding of why this drop occurred. UNF was moving up in their rankings for retention. Improvement was needed in faculty resources. Class size had remained consistent.
President Delaney discussed the alumni giving portion of the report, stating that there were plans for this to increase. He suggested the need to build attitudes in students that would encourage continued giving to the university.
This item was for information purposes and did not require approval.
Vice President Stone stated that there were proposed changes in the wording of the bylaws. The proposed wording reflected the addition of a consent agenda.
Chair Hicks asked for a motion to approve the proposed bylaw changes. This motion was offered, seconded and unanimously approved.
Chair Hicks offered appreciation to the trustees for their participation in this meeting. She reminded everyone that the next meeting included the full board and was scheduled for January 26th.
The meeting was adjourned.

I absolutely am in love with this purchase. It has been worn a few times already and has held up great after each wash with no fading, loss of shape or pealing. This graphic works best I think against the grey I chose. Love that this artist represents the beautiful diversity of our Puerto Rican culture. This image resonates with me being that I am Puerto Rican of mostly African descent. Thank you Ida Yvette Robles for representing all of us Boricuas!

This item arrived stained and dingy. The t-shirt itself has a stain on it and the color is absolutely nothing like the photo. The product detail has my image on a white tank top; however, the tank top that arrived looks like it was washed with a bunch of brown clothes and has a dirty look to it, aside from the stain. I took a picture of a Gildan white t-shirt I own (thats been washed several times already) with the tank top I received to show how dingy the tank looks. I've opened a ticket regarding a refund or replacement on this item and still have yet to hear back from anyone. Yet again, not a good first impression for this company.
