Boomerang acts like a snooze button for an email message. It lets you clean up your Inbox without losing track of important messages and helps you manage messages that you can't deal with today, but that need attention or a response later.
For Outlook 2003, 2007, 2010, 2013
This does not work with Outlook 2016.
(Not Mac-compatible)
$29.95 - one time fee
Boomerang works like a snooze button for your email. If you get a message that needs your attention at a later time, just select the message, and choose a time from the dropdown. Boomerang will move the message to a storage folder (named Boomerang), and will bring it back to your Inbox at the time you requested. That way, the message gets your attention when you need it. Boomerang can even return the message flagged for follow up and marked unread.
If the email text contains a date and time, like Tuesday at 3 or tomorrow afternoon, Boomerang will automatically detect that time and suggest returning the message then, a day before, or a few hours before.
Boomerang works much better than creating a calendar event out of a message. It doesn't clutter your calendar with email messages that aren't really appointments. And you can't accidentally close the reminder.
A fan of GTD or other productivity methods? Boomerang will help you achieve Inbox Zero without needing any external system besides Outlook. You can go home every evening without having to worry about piles of email.
Boomerang has been extensively tested to make sure it won't slow down Outlook. It doesn't rearrange your messages or change Outlook from how you set it up.
Every action you take with Boomerang happens entirely on your computer. Your messages never leave your computer, and nothing about your email goes anywhere on the internet. Boomerang is safe, secure, and compatible with your network policies, no matter how stringent.
If you're like me, and you use your email in-box as your to-do list, you need Boomerang, by Baydin. This product literally changed my work life. -Sadalit Van Buren
Boomerang is a unique way to help you deal with email overload. It makes it easy to remember emails that you otherwise might have forgotten. -Matthew Guay, How-To Geek
This is truly brilliant; unlike flagging messages, which I often ignore, Boomerang pops e-mail back to the top of your inbox. -Dave Johnson - bnet.com

You might, however, stand a chance of coming up with a decent list of the greatest albums based on their cover art.
From Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band to London Calling, album covers were an integral part of the record buying experience in the pre-CD era.
With the 2013 Record Store Day taking place throughout the world tomorrow, you won't have to go far to hear old heads - like me - ruing the disappearance of gatefold sleeves, of liner notes and lyrics, and the whole tactility of buying music in a physical format.
As a schoolboy, album art meant as much to me as the music contained within. Dull geography lessons on Upper Volta would pass more meaningfully while recreating band logos in biro on the cover of an exercise book. Entire band back catalogues could be filed and discussed according to their sleeve art, while no adolescent male could resist a sneaky peak at Roxy Music's Country Life while perusing the record racks on a Saturday afternoon.
Some covers - and more pertinently, their designers - became synonymous with the impact of the album's musical content. Barney Bubbles was the creative force behind Stiff Records during the New Wave, while further back, Roger Dean's elaborate fantasyscapes will be forever associated with Yes.
He is mostly associated with Pink Floyd, but together with Hipgnosis, the design collective he co-founded in 1968, Thorgerson was responsible for designing covers for 10CC, Muse, Led Zeppelin, Audioslave, The Cranberries, Peter Gabriel, Black Sabbath, Ian Dury, Steve Miller and Genesis.
Growing up in Cambridge, Thorgerson was a childhood friend of eventual Floyd members Syd Barrett, Roger Waters and David Gilmour. "We first met in our early teens," Gilmour wrote yesterday on his website. "We would gather at Sheep's Green, a spot by the river in Cambridge and Storm would always be there holding forth, making the most noise, bursting with ideas and enthusiasm. Nothing has ever really changed. He has been a constant force in my life, both at work and in private, a shoulder to cry on and a great friend."
In 1968 Thorgerson and fellow Cambridge designer Aubrey Powell were asked by the Floyd to design the cover for A Saucer Full Of Secrets. It was to seal Thorgerson's association with the band forever: "The artworks that [Storm] created for Pink Floyd from 1968 to the present day have been an inseparable part of our work," Gilmour added in his online tribute.
In 1973 the band released Dark Side Of The Moon, for which Thorgerson came up with a cover design as iconic as the record itself. It's origins were pretty functional: the band's Rick Wright had suggested Thorgerson produce something simple and straightforward. The outcome is something so straightforward and simple that it has adorned T-shirts and posters for the last 40 years
"No amount of cajoling would get them to consider any other contender, nor endure further explanation of the prism, or how exactly it might look," Thorgerson has explained. "'That's it', they said in unison, we got to get back to real work, and returned forthwith to the [Abbey Road] studio upstairs."
"The refracting glass prism referred to Floyd light shows - consummate use of light in the concert setting. Its outline is triangular and triangles are symbols of ambition, and are redolent of pyramids, both cosmic and mad in equal measure, all these ideas touching on themes in the lyrics. The joining of the spectrum extending round the back cover and across the gatefold inside was seamless like the seguing tracks on the album, whilst the opening heartbeat was represented by a repeating blip in one of the colours."
Throughout Thorgerson's work, artistic influences can be easily identified, from Picasso to Magritte, but also plenty of humour. With the Floyd's Animals, Thorgerson created another icon, with a pig famously flying over Battersea Power Station.
The shot has now passed into lore thanks to the inflatable pig used for the photograph slipping its mooring and drifting off into the incoming flight path for Heathrow Airport.
The studio also picked up Black Sabbath's Technical Ecstasy, the cover of which was once described eloquently by Ozzy Osbourne as "two robots screwing on an escalator"
More often than not covers were conceptual interpretations rather than literal representations, eschewing the pop notion that albums should be adverts for the bands, featuring the members themselves.
Distance is always significant, something Thorgerson's work shared with Floyd's Roger Waters, who became increasingly obsessed with absence and separation, culminating in the entire narrative of The Wall. Thorgerson returned to Water's feelings with the cover for Is There Anybody Out There?, the box set of the live Wall show, which simply features the four face masks worn by the fake Waters, Gilmour, Wright and Mason at the beginning of the ambitious show.
One dominant cue throughout Thorgerson's projects has been the prominence of flat, green grassy fields in the lower half of the cover, blue sky in the upper half, and a prominent object or objects in the immediate foreground.
Perhaps inspired by Grantchester Meadows in Cambridge (immortalised by Floyd on Ummagumma), Thorgerson returned to this device again and again, on everything from Floyd's Atom Heart Mother and The Division Bell through to Biffy Clyro's single God & Satan and Synrise by obscure Belgian electro band Goose. Along with the setting, Thorgerson's photography would often have an unreal reality about it - rich greens in the grass, bold blues in the skyscapes, and an unnerving clarity of objects in the fore.
"I listen to the music, read the lyrics, speak to the musicians as much as possible," Thorgerson has explained. "I see myself as a kind of translator, translating an audio event – the music – into a visual event – the cover. I like to explore ambiguity and contradiction, to be upsetting but gently so. I use real elements in unreal ways."
As albums have become reduced to bitstreams, and music consumption shifts from having the patience to listen to two or even four sides of vinyl to downloaded singles or Spotify mixes, Thorgerson's artistry is, sadly, diminishing.
There are still, thankfully, champions of the art of record design, who regard the packaging and presentation of their music as more than just a marketing exercise, and who look to today's multiple formats as an opportunity for renewed design creativity.
But with Storm Thorgerson's passing, we should mourn the death of an era when the album cover meant more than just the thing that stops your record from getting scratched.

Advancing Nutritional Care for Older Adults
Annals of Long-Term Care: Clinical Care and Aging. 2014;22(6):27-29.
In the older adult population, the consequences of malnutrition can have a major impact on health, such as unintended weight loss, sarcopenia, frailty, and delayed healing of pressure ulcers. Serving healthful, nourishing meals is not always an easy task in long-term care settings, where staff are contending with food–medication interactions, anorexia, gastrointestinal issues, depression, chronic diseases, poor dentition, difficulty chewing and swallowing, and other issues affecting proper nutritional absorption. Overcoming these barriers is becoming increasingly important, as the literature continues to strengthen the association between good nutrition and overall health in older adults.
There is major potential in the year 2014 for improving the quality of nutritional care in long-term care settings. In particular, updated guidelines on the role of nutrition in preventing and treating pressure ulcers are in the pipeline, and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) issued a new rule giving greater autonomy to registered dietitians.
Annals of Long-Term Care® (ALTC) had the opportunity to discuss these two developments and other popular topics in nutritional care with Becky Dorner, RDN, LD, FAND. Dorner is president of Becky Dorner & Associates, Inc, which offers continuing education and publications for professionals who provide nutrition care to older adults, and president of Nutrition Consulting Services, Inc, which has provided food and nutrition consulting services to healthcare facilities since 1983. She is also the chair of the Council on Future Practice for the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics.
ALTC: As you know, the National Pressure Ulcer Advisory Panel (NPUAP) is in the process of revising its clinical practice guidelines for preventing and treating pressure ulcers, with the goal of releasing an updated set later in 2014. What are the current clinical guidelines with regard to nutrition's role in pressure ulcer prevention and treatment, and what do you expect we'll see in the revised guidelines?
Dorner: Nutrition and hydration have a well-documented role in pressure ulcer prevention and treatment. Adequate calories, protein, fluids, and nutrients are all needed to prevent and/or heal pressure ulcers. The NPUAP published a white paper on nutrition (I was a co-author)1 as well as clinical guidelines that include detailed information regarding nutrition for the prevention and treatment of pressure ulcers. The currently published 2009 guidelines recommend 30 to 35 calories per kilogram of body weight, 1.25 to 1.5 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight, and adequate fluids to maintain hydration (estimated 1 mL per calorie consumed or 30 mL of fluid per kilogram of body weight), along with a multivitamin/mineral supplement if deficiencies are suspected or confirmed. Much more detail on nutrition is available in the guidelines. I expect that the new guidelines will continue to emphasize nutrition as a critical factor in the prevention and treatment of pressure ulcers.
The term nutraceutical seems to be the buzzword of the moment when talking about geriatric nutrition. What is a nutraceutical? Is it the same as a dietary supplement?
The use of nutraceuticals is not really new although the term may be more popular now than in previous years. The term "nutraceutical" was coined in 1989 by Stephen L. DeFelice to combine the words "nutrition" and "pharmaceutical." Nutraceuticals refer to a range of foods and supplements from diet and processed foods to dietary supplements, herbal products and isolated nutrients. Nutraceuticals have been used for years in the form of vitamin/mineral supplements and individual vitamins or minerals (vitamin D, vitamin B12, calcium, iron). There are numerous situations that may require a nutraceutical, including vitamin or mineral deficiencies, inadequate calorie or protein intake, and inadequate potassium intake, to name a few.
In the United States, the term actually has no meaning under regulatory law.2 These items are classified as one of the following under US regulations and treated accordingly: a food, a food ingredient, a dietary supplement, or a drug.3 Nutraceuticals often carry claims to prevent certain health problems, improve health, or delay aging; of course, claims must be within the legal limitations for the category as noted above.
The US Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act (DSHEA) of 1994 defined a dietary supplement as a product taken by mouth that contains a "dietary ingredient" intended to supplement the diet. This may include: vitamins, minerals, herbs, botanicals, amino acids, enzymes, organ tissues, glandulars, and metabolites. Dietary supplements can also be extracts or concentrates in the form of tablets, capsules, soft gels, gel caps, liquids, or powders. DSHEA categorizes all dietary supplements under the general umbrella of "foods" and requires that they be labeled as a dietary supplement.4
Dietary supplements do not need approval from the US Food and Drug Administration unless it is a new dietary ingredient, in which case there must be premarket review for safety data required by law. The manufacturer is responsible for determining that the product is safe and that any claims made about the product is substantiated by adequate evidence to show that they are not false or misleading.
Functional foods also fall under the "nutraceutical" category. These are foods that have been enriched or fortified so that people can consume that food and not have to take a dietary supplement in pill form. Examples include milk with added vitamin A and D, or cereals with added iron.
Do you personally recommend the use of any of nutraceuticals for older adults?
Yes, I do recommend the use of certain nutraceuticals. However, before recommending anything, a comprehensive nutrition assessment should be completed by a registered dietitian nutritionist (RDN) to determine the most appropriate individualized interventions for each person. This is especially important for frail older adults with multiple comorbidities. Choosing the right interventions based on the person's medical history and nutritional status, balanced with a review of their current food/fluid intake, preferences, and tolerances is the only way to effectively intervene to prevent or correct nutritional deficiencies and malnutrition.
Consuming probiotics and prebiotics is another nutritional strategy that is not new, but there has been a renewed interest in the potential benefits of these agents for older adults. Please explain the difference between a probiotic and a prebiotic.
Probiotics are "friendly" bacteria that may aid in digestion and protect from harmful bacteria, similar to what the existing good bacteria in the body do. Prebiotics are naturally occurring nondigestible food ingredients that fuel probiotics. They have been shown to improve digestive function and the intestinal environment and can complement probiotics. Prebiotics can be found in foods like artichokes, asparagus, garlic, oats, onion, soybeans, and wheat. Other prebiotics include fructooligosaccharides, which are not digested in the gastrointestinal tract but are fermented in the colon.
Combining prebiotics with probiotics creates a symbiotic product, which contains the live bacteria (cultures) and the food they need to thrive. Foods such as yogurt with live active cultures or kefir, which are fermented dairy products, are examples of symbiotic products.
Prebiotics, probiotics, and symbiotics are good for gut health. However, despite the fact that there have been some positive animal studies, there is not enough evidence to recommend prebiotics for prevention or treatment of diarrhea in humans.5 Well-conducted human trials are needed to confirm prebiotic effects.
What does the evidence show so far regarding the potential of probiotics and prebiotics?
Probiotics may assist the body to reestablish naturally occurring gut flora. In addition, they may offset side effects of antibiotics (ie, gas, cramping, diarrhea), and help to strengthen the immune system. They have been found to be helpful in reducing symptoms for people with antibiotic-associated diarrhea (AAD)6 and may be helpful in controlling symptoms for people with Clostridium difficile by preventing growth of the bacteria. Lactobacillus is a type of probiotic that may be effective in preventing C difficile relapse by inhibiting regrowth of the bacteria. Lactobacillus is found in yogurt with active cultures and kefir.
Some probiotics have been clinically proven to be effective against C difficile and have been formulated into tablets, powders, capsules, and beverages. There is controversy in the scientific literature regarding the effectiveness and efficacy of probiotics for diarrhea management. Because there is a lack of standardization of products as well as a lack of strong research on the efficacy of probiotics, they are not recommended for prevention of primary C difficile infection.7-10
Based on a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials, in 2005 the Journal of Family Practice recommended that patients on antibiotics should also take probiotics due to their effectiveness for the prevention and treatment of AAD.11 However, research on probiotics for prevention and treatment of AAD and C difficile–associated diarrhea is conflicting, and it is unclear which, if any, probiotic therapy may work with which strain of bacteria and type of diarrhea.12 There is limited evidence that two probiotics, Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG and Saccharomyces boulardii, decrease the incidence of AAD, and further research is needed to determine which probiotics have the greatest efficacy for patients on specific antibiotics.13
What are some of the considerations before starting older adults on probiotics or prebiotics?
Evidence suggests that use of probiotic therapy is probably not harmful to most patients. Probiotics typically have few side effects, and these effects tend to be mild, such as gas or bloating. However, the data on safety, especially long-term safety, is limited, and the concern is that the risk of serious side effects may be greater in people who have underlying health conditions.14 One more note of caution: patients who are lactose intolerant should not receive Lactobacillus preparations.15
We know much about how food can enhance, delay, or decrease drug absorption. Since the majority of older adults residing in long-term care settings are taking multiple medications, what are some of the most important adverse food–drug interactions that long-term care providers should be aware of?
Any food–medication interaction that is therapeutically important is cause for concern. From a nutrition standpoint, we want to ensure optimal nutritional status. From a medical standpoint, we want to be sure the drug achieves its intended effect while avoiding complications and adverse side effects. If we can identify food–medications interactions early on, we can prevent major negative consequences. Healthcare professionals should ensure medications are given per manufacturer's directions (ie, given on an empty stomach vs after eating, avoidance of certain foods with certain medications) for best tolerance and absorption of medications. For example, thyroid hormone is best absorbed on an empty stomach when given with 8 ounces of water. It should be given separately and with 4 hours difference from iron, calcium, or magnesium supplementation. Soy products, high-fiber foods, and walnuts decrease the absorption of thyroid hormone.
In general, healthcare providers need to watch for symptoms such as anorexia, nausea, constipation, diarrhea, and any other interactions that impede food and fluid intake. A major concern in frail older adults is to avoid unintended weight loss, so monitoring food and fluid intake as well as obtaining accurate and timely weight measurements on a regular schedule becomes extremely important. In addition, fluid fluctuations should be monitored, especially in those people taking diuretics, such as hydrochlorothiazide, furosemide, and other similar medications. Fluid shifts can be a major concern especially if they lead to dehydration, overhydration, or electrolyte imbalances, all of which can cause cognitive changes and other serious complications.
For people on enteral feedings, there are additional concerns, such as potential for clogged tubes and decreased absorption of medications. For example, potassium chloride elixir and ferrous sulfate (iron) elixir can cause clumping of enteral products, which can clog feeding tubes. Phenytoin absorption may decrease when phenytoin suspension is given with an enteral formula, so we need to be sure to hold feedings 2 to 4 hours before and after a phenytoin dose is administered, or give phenytoin intravenously.16
What resources do you recommend to nurses to help them minimize the risk of adverse food–drug interactions?
Dietitians work very closely with the interdisciplinary team, and we rely on the nursing staff to refer residents with nutrition risks to us. There should be a referral system in place, and for it to work correctly, nursing staff could benefit from some basic training on food–medication interactions. For daily quick reference, the Food–Medication Interactions pocket guide or software for digital devices is a great choice. Information can be found at www.foodmedinteractions.com. Monitoring for interactions is extremely important, so systems need to be in place to obtain and assess accurate and timely weights, food and fluid intake, and fluid balance, and to review laboratory values as needed to monitor for electrolyte imbalances and other potential concerns. It is extremely important to take patient complaints seriously and refer to the RDN as soon as there are symptoms that affect food/fluid intake or weight, or there are concerns about other factors that may lead to malnutrition.
On May 12, 2014, CMS issued a final rule reforming Medicare regulations that CMS has identified as "unnecessary, obsolete, or excessively burdensome on healthcare providers and suppliers."17 The rule stipulates that RDNs can order patient diets independently, no longer requiring supervision or approval of a physician or other practitioner. This rule will become effective on July 11, 2014 and applies to RDNs working in hospitals only. But the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics is urging CMS to issue a separate regulatory change that would apply to RDNs working in long-term care facilities.18 What do you think of this rule, and should it be applied in the long-term care setting too?
Our goal as RDNs is to find the underlying cause of the malnutrition and to provide the most appropriate nutrition interventions to correct and/or minimize the consequences. If we can identify risks early on and intervene, we can reduce the potential complications that malnutrition may cause. Therefore, RDNs are very pleased with this new rule as it will allow more autonomy to practice at the height of their competency levels. The rule passed because CMS "believe[s] that RDs are the professionals who are best qualified to assess a patient's nutritional status and to design and implement a nutritional treatment plan in consultation with the patient's interdisciplinary care team."16
This rule allows qualified dietitians or qualified nutrition professionals explicit permission to become privileged by the hospital staff to order patient diets (including nutritional supplements), order lab tests to monitor the effectiveness of dietary plans and orders, and make subsequent modifications to those diets based on the lab tests, as long as this is in accordance with state laws, including scope of practice laws. CMS notes that lab ordering "privileges for dietitians and nutrition professionals are not required or specifically allowed by this requirement, but are instead an option left to hospitals and their medical staffs to determine in consideration of relevant State law as well as any other requirements and/or incentives that CMS or other insurers might have."16 The Academy is planning to provide members with the tools they will need to implement this new rule in the hospital setting. This includes tools for how to discuss the issue with their employers and medical staff, as well as strategies for obtaining privileges and sample policies. In addition, they plan to provide an analysis of the impact of state licensure laws and regulations on implementation. They will continue to work to extend the ability to order therapeutic diets across the continuum of care, including long-term care settings.

Sherdog Prospect Watch: Sean Santella
After spending the first three-plus years of his professional mixed martial arts career fighting bigger, stronger men, up-and-comer Sean Santella has finally found the right weight class for him: flyweight.
"By far, I'm most comfortable [at 125 pounds]," Santella told Sherdog.com. "I only walk around at 138 or 140 pounds at the heaviest. At 145 and even at 135, I was overpowered and undersized. When you hit the top level at 135, guys are cutting from the high 150s.
"Now that I'm at 125, I have the same skillset, but I'm harder to deal with," he added. "I'm only cutting 10 or 12 pounds to make it, so I'm never overmatched when it comes to power or size, and my cardio and quickness are just as good. I really feel like I can make a splash at 125 once I get my chance."
Santella, who hails from Whippany, N.J., and calls the AMA Fight Club home, has won two straight fights at 125 pounds and has victories in five of his last six fights dating back to December 2010. In his most recent outing in April, he defended his Cage Fury Fighting Championships flyweight title with a first-round submission win over Tuan Pham, taking just 1:53 to secure the tap via rear-naked choke. It was his eighth submission in 10 professional MMA victories, so it should come as no surprise that Santella comes from a wrestling and jiu-jitsu background.
"I started wrestling in kindergarten and wrestled up through high school," said Santella, who has never been finished in 14 professional fights. "I had some friends that started doing jiu-jitsu and they told me to check it out, and I fell in love with it from the first day that I went to class. For the first year and a half, I just did jiu-jitsu, but some of the guys I did jiu-jitsu with went to AMA. They saw me doing well at jiu-jitsu and said I needed to go to AMA and train there. I ended up going down there with friend. He never came back, but I kept coming back and now I'm a pro fighter and one of the instructors there."
While Santella cites his ground game as his strength, the man they call "Shorty Rock" knows he must improve on his striking as he tries to climb the 125-pound ranks.
"I'd have to say my ground game off my back is one of things I'm best at," said Santella. "I'm a really good wrestler, but I'm actually only good at shooting, not sprawling. When I wrestled, I wanted to take you down and that has carried over well to MMA. My guard game is definitely my strong point.
"As for what I need to work on, it's definitely my striking," he added. "I've been working a lot on it with my boxing and muay Thai coaches. I've got good movement, but I need to put my moves together. So far, I've been so good on the ground that I haven't had much of a chance to show what I've learned, but that's still my weak point right now."
Santella has been in MMA training for a little more than four years -- he made his professional debut in November 2008 against Bellator Fighting Championships, WEC and UFC veteran Nick Pace -- and his trainer, Mike Constantino, believes the expansion of the 125-pound weight class in North America has definitely benefitted Santella.
"Sean is very dynamic," said Constantino, who trains UFC mainstays Jim Miller, Dan Miller and Charlie Brenneman. "He has a good mix of wrestling, jiu-jitsu and standup. All his fights have been against tough guys. Sean started out all the way up at 145, and he's unbeaten at 125. The only thing that kept him out of this weight class sooner was there really wasn't much of a 125-pound weight class. Flyweight is definitely his natural weight class. The only reason he hasn't gotten to the UFC yet was that, until recently, there was no 125-pund weight class in the UFC."
The UFC's addition of a 125-pound weight class and the upcoming title fight between Joseph Benavidez and Demetrious Johnson have him looking forward to the opportunity to test his skills under the Zuffa banner.
"I was ecstatic [when the UFC added the 125-pound division]," said Santella, who is 10-2 since starting his career 0-1-1. "I knew it was a matter of time. The first time I read it on a Web site, it felt like my birthday. I feel like the UFC had been missing out on it because it's a fun weight class to watch. Little guys like to scrap. Big guys can throw a lot of leather, but little guys can, too.
"Mike's been talking to [UFC matchmaker] Sean Shelby and tweeting him about signing me," he added. "All I can do is keep winning and keep finishing fights and hope they can't turn me away. However, I'm not going to wait. I'm going to keep at it, regardless, because fighting is my passion. But the UFC is my goal. I want to fight the best guys in the world."
Constantino thinks it is only a matter of time before Santella competes in the UFC.
"I think talent-wise he's there," said Constantino. "I think they just need to open up the weight class a little more. A lot of it comes down to fight availability on a card. Not a lot of 125s are signed right now by the UFC and a lot of 135s are dropping to 125. [Shelby] knows who Sean is, and he's on their radar. He's always training and getting better every day. 'Shorty' could fight tomorrow if we got the call."
He has a good mix of
wrestling, jiu-jitsu and
standup. All his fights have
been against tough guys.
"It'll be the last fight on my contract," Santella said. "CFFC has mentioned a name to me and they may be trying to get that name approved. [Morgan] is supposed to be a strong wrestler, but that's my strong point, so maybe I get to work on my standup. He's really aggressive with his takedowns, so I'll probably try to beat him up standing, but if he takes me down, I'm going to throw some submissions on him from my back."

BRIDGEVIEW Ill. – Chicago Fire winger Marco Pappa was awarded AT&T Goal of the Year Wednesday, securing the honor for his fantastic strike in the Fire's April 10 match against the San Jose Earthquakes.
"This is good news," Pappa said. "To win the best goal in 2010 is a big moment in my career and for me individually. It is a nice honor for the club as I have worked hard this year to do my best for the Fire."
The goal, which came in the 52nd minute of the Fire's 2-1 loss, was a 25-yard left footed rocket that curled just inside the top right corner.
"It was a good play — a solid buildup by the team," Pappa said. "[Brian] McBride recovered the ball and fed it to me. I saw [Patrick] Nyarko running into space on the wing and passed him the ball in the air. He dribbled down the flank and found Collins [John] who made a good reception of the ball. I made my run and Collins gave me a good ball that I hit into the corner of the net."
Pappa's equalizer sent the sell-out Toyota Park crowd into hysterics and inspired the Guatemalan goalscorer to launch into an acrobatic backflip – a celebration almost as stunning as the goal itself.
"When I saw that the goal was a beautiful goal, I got really excited and wanted to do something crazy, like a back flip," Pappa said. "When I was really young my parents and older brother taught me how to do back flips. Sometimes they say to me now - 'You can't do a back flip' - so I wanted to show them that I could still do it."

Hi Experts
My Ajax request is working fine on my dev environment (Tomcat v7.0 on my local computer).
After deploying to sencha io the Ajax request does not work.
This is how my Ajax request looks like:

var answerAsText = response.responseText;
When executed on my local computer my ajax request correctly returns the result of 'MyJSPfile' in 'answerAsText'. After deploying my app to sencha.io, the ajax request returns 'MyJSPfile' code in 'answerAsText' instead of the my jsp file result.
Any idea what could be the problem?

Like nothing you've ever had, and odds are you will never care about roasting again.
How about the FGM 1030 (40+") or the 1200 ? thats a round 47 " inside and a beautiful oven as well. And - you can then do those 150 people parties right ?? Good luck with your decision go with your gut I cant wait to see the build whatever you choose Have you looked at the Stefano Ferraro or Acunto John
Reep, what's the price on the CF?Also, what's the door height?
Scott I know the door on the FGM is 8.5" and the Dome is 9.8" so that 63% ration does not work out right? You can go raised +3" and use same door.
Reep,Where are you located? Generally I wouldn't mention it due to cost, but considering what you are looking at I think the option of having a custom oven built by stovemasters would be within reason.http://www.stovemaster.com/html_en/commercial_brick_oven.html
But I'm also not entirely sold on the CF either. Something feels off. I'm a bit concerned about the entryway. If it's uninsulated stainless, that's going to be a major problem. Even if it's insulated stainless, I'm still concerned. Hopefully I'm wrong about this and the front of the oven has some thermal mass, but, if it doesn't, that's going to make for much more uneven bakes.
Now, the 1030C is low mass/quick pre-heat, which might end up working great for family night pizza, but not so great for residual heat baking, but you're not going to get every feature you're looking for in a single oven.
It seems like you have the money and the space. Have you considered two ovens? One small-ish for quick pre-heats and another larger for bigger events and/or a greater variety of foods?
Have you looked at the Stefano Ferraro or Acunto John
Option 8 get a small portable oven like a primavera 60 put on wheels maybe? and you can allways sell this later, most here would be happy to have any WFO . Then learn how to make pizza decide if you even like the work involved and keep doing research for a few months.? And Keep Scott123 in the WFO loop there are other forums as well that may be helpful in your quest for the perfect oven. Not sure we can do more ?I am stickin with the solid reasonable choice here for a home oven the FGM 950 B (raised it you want ) Done Have you decided what tools you will be using ? I can help with that for sure much easier question for me, and Ihope you remember me when the time comes Thanks Reep!

Wittenberg provides students with more than just the classroom experience. The biology department allows students to not only learn in the classroom but also apply what they have learned in the field. For the biology department, hands-on learning is the best way to experience biology.
These field experiences are four- to five-day excursions to a habitat away from Wittenberg. Students sign up for a one-credit extended field experience that is separate from the course.
Biology 239: Biology of Marine Invertebrates: This is a five-day field study at the Duke Marine Laboratory in Beaufort, N.C. Participants typically visit two different habits each day to observe and collect organisms from their natural habitat that they have learned about in the classroom.
Biology 243: Cave Ecology: Students participate in a four-day field experience to Carter Caves State Park in Kentucky to explore caves, springs and sinkholes. Students design their own research projects in wild caves that might include counting organisms in a specific area of the cave, surveying microhabitats, or comparing fauna and abiotic conditions between two or more caves.
Biology 247: Marine Ecology: This is a five-day field study at the Duke Marine Laboratory in Beaufort, N.C. During the trip, students typically visit two different habitats each day, and become familiar with sampling techniques such as trawling, dredging and core sampling. Students conduct experiments and collect samples that form the basis of the laboratory exercises at Wittenberg for the remainder of the semester.
Biology 250: Herpetology: Students go on a four-day field experience to a 500-acre retired farm in Mississippi that is a perfect habitat for reptiles and amphibians. The farm sits between two large lakes that offer other field opportunities to collect, catalog, GIS locate and photograph specimens. Students will observe diverse turtle, lizard, snake, frog and salamander populations of the southeastern United States and analyze data based on these surveys.
Biology 341: Limnology: This is a five-day field study in south-central Ohio taking place in the Hocking Hills area. Both lotic (stream, spring) and lentic (lake, pond) ecosystems will be sampled and a population of the freshwater jellyfish will be studied. Students participate in numerous field opportunities throughout the semester to assess the freshwater ecosystems (stream, spring, lake, pond, fen, cave) primarily of the Miami River watershed in west-central Ohio and to assess anthropogenic impacts on aquatic ecosystems.
Biology 342: Stream Ecology: Students travel for five days to the Mt. Lake Biological Station in southwestern Virginia to perform an analysis of soil, physicochemical characteristics, fauna and flora. The headwaters of one watershed that drains to the Atlantic Ocean (James River) is studied as well as one (New River) that flows to the Gulf of Mexico. Impacts of altitude, slope, underlying bedrock geology, soil, vegetation, and pool versus riffle will be analyzed as streams flow in opposing directions off the flanks of the Appalachian Mountains.
Biology 346: Ecology: Two extended field study opportunities accompany this course. One is at Wittenberg's field station in the Huron National Forest outside of Grayling, Mich. This trip occurs during winter months to enable students to track forest wildlife and better understand northern forest habitats. The second is a four-day trip to a 500-acre retired farm with a mix of bottomland hardwood, fallow fields and pine plantations in Mississippi. Students compare species composition across taxa and among habitat types as well as examine ecological similarities and differences among species assemblages.

Mother Porny pushes a buggy
This t-shirt started out as a crew neck.
And here's Porny living up to her Porny name. Because Jessica Simpson turns everything, even a walk around the block with her baby, into sexual suggestion. Can she help it if she has big ass tits? Perhaps not. But what about the lasciviousness of that open mouth on top of those big ass tits? Whether or not she was intending to, what she ends up saying here is that she'll suck on it while you're rubbing it between her breasts. She's also fertile, rich, bends over when she's asked to, but won't ask you to do any better. In other words, she's the perfect woman.

At least one of the four school board seats up for election in Carteret County will be contested.
Randy Steele Sr. of Morehead City filed Monday as a candidate for the District 3 seat for the Board of Education. He is the third candidate for the seat, according to information from the Carteret County Board of Elections.
Steele retired in July 2012 and moved to Carteret County after more than 20 years in education in North Carolina and sees the school board as a diferent avenue for addressing issues he sees as important, including the state's education budget, teacher tenure and teacher salaries.
"If there's a way I can do something, I want to be able to do it," he said.
Janiece Wall and Blake Beadle, who are also from Morehead City, filed previously for the seat.
No candidates filed in Onslow, Duplin or Jones counties, according to the local Boards of Elections.
The North Carolina Board of Elections reported two Democratic candidates filing for U.S. Senate. Both Will Stewart of Hampstead and Kay Hagan of Greensboro filed for the seat Monday.

Car Up For Grabs
ST. MARYS — Area residents have an opportunity to win a 1991 red corvette for as little as $2, as an area organization has kicked off its annual fundraiser.
Big Brothers Big Sisters of Auglaize, Mercer and Van Wert Counties is hosting its third annual corvette raffle, in which area residents can buy raffle tickets to win a car. This year's two-door corvette features a red leather interior, an automatic transmission, a hatchback body style and a V8 engine. The car has 54,000 miles on it. Raffle tickets for the corvette are $2 for one ticket and $5 for three tickets. The drawing for the car will be held on Sept. 29 at the Community Health Fair during the Bluffton Fall Festival. All proceeds raised in the raffle will benefit Big Brothers Big Sisters of Auglaize, Mercer and Van Wert Counties.
Big Brothers Big Sisters of Auglaize, Mercer and Van Wert Counties Executive Director Abby Balster said the fundraiser is run in conjunction with another area organization.
"It's anchored through the Bluffton Lions Foundation," she said.
"They get the corvette and they bring it to different locations. There are about 15 to 20 agencies that sell tickets for it, so a lot of the legwork is done by someone else. That makes it a lot easier for us to just go out and sell the tickets and not have to do all the footwork for it."
The corvette will be on display at several community events over the next six months, and raffle tickets will be available for purchase at each of the events.
Area residents have their first opportunity to check out the corvette from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sunday at Bud's Chevrolet in St. Marys.
"It will be on display at Bud's Chevrolet," Balster said. "They're having their Chevrolet Part Swap, so we'll be there for that. We'll also be there for their corvette show ( from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. May 12)."
The car will also be on display at the Auglaize-Mercer Car Show in Wapakoneta, the Celina Lake Festival and the Summerfest Cruise In, among others. For a complete list of display dates and times, visit Bbbsma.com.
In addition to the displays, tickets are also available at the Big Brothers Big Sisters of Auglaize, Mercer and Van Wert Counties office, located at 204 E. Spring St., St. Marys. Balster noted that a check can also be mailed to the office at P.O. Box 304, St. Marys, Ohio, 45885.
"They can mail in a check — we get a lot of that, where people will just mail in checks," Balster said. "We'll fill out the tickets and we'll send them a receipt in the mail."
Balster said Big Brother Big Sisters of Auglaize, Mercer and Van Wert Counties continues to hold the raffle because of the community's interest in the fundraiser.
"It is a really good fundraiser for us," she said. "The community loves it. It gives them an opportunity to possibly get a corvette for $5. We've seen a really good response from the community with this fundraiser."
A United Way of Auglaize County partner agency, Big Brother Big Sisters "seeks to make a positive difference in the lives of children by promoting their self-esteem, expanding their awareness of life's opportunities and providing them with guidance and support through long-term, one-to-one mentorships with caring adult volunteers," according to the organization's website.

Osteoporosis is a disease in which bones become fragile and more likely to fracture.
Alternative Names
Thin bones; Low bone density
Osteoporosis is the most common type of bone disease.
Osteoporosis increases the risk for breaking a bone. About half of all women over the age of 50 will have a fracture of the hip, wrist, or vertebra (bone of the spine) during their lifetime.
Bone is living tissue. Existing bone is constantly being replaced by new bone. Your entire skeleton is replaced about every 10 years. Osteoporosis occurs when the body fails to form enough new bone, when too much existing bone is reabsorbed by the body, or both.
The most important cause of osteoporosis is genetic. This means that you inherit the risk from your parents. Other risks include not having enough calcium to build new bone tissue. Calcium is one of the important minerals neededby your body for bones to form. If you do not get enough calcium and vitamin D, or your body does not absorb enough calcium from your diet, your bones may become brittle and more likely to fracture. Other risk factors include smoking and various childhood and adult diseases.
A decrease in estrogen in women at the time of
- Being confined to a bed
- Certain medical conditions
- Taking certain medicines
Other risk factors include:
- Absence of menstrual periods (
amenorrhea) for long periods of time
- A family history of osteoporosis
- Drinking a large amount of alcohol
- Low body weight
- Smoking
There are no symptoms in the early stages of osteoporosis. Many times, people will have a fracture before learning they have the disease.
Pain almost anywhere in the spine can be caused by fractures of the bones of the spine. These are called
There can be a loss of height (as much as 6 inches) over time. A stooped posture or
Exams and Tests
- Diagnose bone loss and osteoporosis
- Predict your risk of future bone fractures
- See how well osteoporosis medicine is working
You may need other blood and urine tests if your osteoporosis is thought to be due to a medical condition, rather than simply the usual bone loss seen with older age.
Low bone mineral density (by DEXA scan) also occurs with osteomalacia, another disorder of bone mineralization
Treatment for osteoporosis may involve:
- Lifestyle changes, such as diet and exercise
- Taking calcium and vitamin D
- Using medicines
Medicines are used to strengthen bones when:
- Osteoporosis has been diagnosed by a
bone density study, whether or not you have a fracture and your fracture risk is high.
- A bone fracture has occurred and a bone density test shows that you have thin bones, but not osteoporosis.
- Bisphosphonates (the main drugs used to prevent and treat osteoporosis in postmenopausal women, alendronate, ibandronate, zolendronate and risedronate)
- Estrogen and estrogen receptor modulators (raloxifene)
- Teriparatide (a PTH agonist)
- Calcitonin (used mainly to treat the sudden pain from a vertebral fracture)
- Denusomab
- Weight-bearing exercises such as walking, jogging, playing tennis, dancing
- Free weights, weight machines, stretch bands
- Balance exercises such as tai chi, yoga
- Rowing machines
Avoid any exercise that presents a risk of falling. Also, do not do high-impact exercises that can cause fractures in older adults.
Your body needs calcium and vitamin D to keep your bones strong.
- Adults under age 50 should have 1,000 mg of calcium and 400 - 800 IU of vitamin D daily.
- Women ages 51 to 70 should have 1,200 mg of calcium and 400 - 800 IU of vitamin D a day; men ages 51 to 70 need 1,000 mg of calcium and 400 - 800 IU of vitamin D a day.
- Adults over age 70 should get 1,200 mg of calcium and 800 IU of vitamin D daily.
- Your doctor may recommend
a calcium supplement.
- Follow a diet that provides the proper amount of calcium and
vitamin D.
[Note: Some expert groups are not sure the benefits and safety of this amount of Vitamin D and calcium outweigh their risks. Be sure to discuss with your doctor whether supplements are a good choice for you.]
Stop unhealthy habits:
- Quit smoking, if you smoke.
- Limit your alcohol intake. Too much alcohol can damage your bones. This puts you at risk of falling and breaking a bone.
It is important to prevent falls. The following are suggestions on how to do this:
- Do not take sedating medicines, which can make you drowsy and unsteady. If you must take them, be extra careful when you are up and about. For example, hold on to countertops or sturdy furniture to avoid falling.
- Remove household hazards, such as throw rugs, to reduce the risk of falls.
- Leave lights on at night so you can see better when walking around your house.
- Install and use safety grab bars in the bathroom.
- Make sure your vision is good. Have your eyes checked once or twice a year by an eye doctor.
- Wear shoes that fit well and that have heels. This includes slippers. Slippers that do not have heels can cause you to trip and fall.
- Do not walk outdoors alone on icy days.
Surgery to treat severe, disabling pain from spinal fractures due to osteoporosis include:
Kyphoplasty Spinal fusion
Outlook (Prognosis)
Medicines to treat osteoporosis can help prevent future fractures. But spine bones that have already collapsed cannot be reversed.
Osteoporosis can cause a person to become disabled from weakened bones. Hip fractures are one of the main reasons people are admitted to nursing homes.
Calcium isimportant for building and maintaining healthy bone. Vitamin D is also needed because it helps your body absorb calcium. Following a healthy, well-balanced diet can help you get these and other important nutrients.
Other tips for prevention:
- Do not drinklarge amounts ofalcohol.
- Do notsmoke.
- Get regular exercise.

Not that we haven't known that this would one day happen, but it's still an exciting development nonetheless. Some folks over at the University of Missouri have whipped up nuclear batteries small enough to run the typical mobile device of today. They don't quite specify if has enough voltage to power something like a phone or a laptop as the batteries are being designed with MEMS and NEMS technology in mind, but they claim that these penny-sized batteries hold one million times the charge of "regular batteries." Whether a "regular battery" by their definition is the standard AA, the typical laptop battery, or a watch battery is unbeknownst to us peasants. It's being designed for MEMS and NEMS technology, but why not have it power my lappy if it's got the voltage? Imagine running one's computer for seven hundred years, and imagine all of that delicious space saved from the curse of conventional laptop batteries. Perhaps we don't need wireless electricity after all.

Observations on life by a sometimes normal woman who also happens to be a Nana.
I was born in Washington, DC to a young English warbride and an American pa. I grew up equally comfortable on either side of the Atlantic. In late spring, my mother would take me out of my American school, we'd hop a plane or a ship and make our way to England where she'd promptly stick me in a school in my grandparents' neighborhood. As a result, both countries are a comfortable fit. My husband (Himself) is English, our first child was born in London and the second in Washington, DC. And now we're in Southern California, comfortably hunkered down in the Santa Monica Mountains.

I have a confession to make. The day I picked the project for this column, it was so grey and dreary that even my solar-powered Queen Elizabeth wouldn't wave. I saw Janine LeCras' Wavelettes shawl and thought, "hey, now there's a candidate for cashmere."
Never mind that the shawlette is already knit in a Merino/cashmere/silk blend that's probably the most appropriate and affordable cashmere combination for this project. No, I'd find others, come up with a vaguely plausible story about why they were somehow different, and spend a week playing with cashmere. Not for any technical reasons that could make you a better knitter, but simply because I was in a bad mood.
Luckily, reason and curiosity prevailed. I was at the Madrona marketplace gazing at a wall of Brooklyn Tweed yarns, sighing happily as one does. I thought of Wavelettes, its slinky, hand-dyed Merino/cashmere/silkiness, and how dramatically different the woolen-spun fleece-dyed Brooklyn Tweed Loft would be. Could be interesting, yes?
Loft Yarn
Indeed it is. The results are so different that it's almost unrecognizable from the original. For those who don't know, Loft is a woolen-spun yarn—which means that it's spun from fibers that have only been carded together, rather than being thoroughly combed and aligned prior to spinning. Woolen-spun yarns are really more like air enclosed in a crimpy veil of fiber. Loft is so true to its name that it can easily snap if you tug too hard.
Loft Swatch
I got a skein and started swatching. Loft's innate elasticity made the pattern's semi-acrobatic knit and purl decreases painless. When I washed my swatch, all the loose ends of the crimpy fiber reached out, joined hands, and created a puffy, cohesive fabric.
While the bloomed surface detracted from individual stitch clarity, it did lend emphasis to the broader stockinette brushstrokes on either side of the central seed-stitch motif, and it also smoothed out the horizontal lines made by the three stitches slipped with yarn in front. The yarn-overs were the only clear casualty of the woolen bloom, with all but the bottom-most yarn over closing in on itself within each motif repeat. All in all, Loft would be an outstanding choice if you wanted an earthy, woolen hug.
Up next, I shifted from pure poof to something smoother and slinkier, Isager Alpaca 2. This fingering-weight yarn contains 50% Merino and 50% baby alpaca, intimately blended and spun together into a smooth, somewhat springy two-ply yarn. Such construction is ideal for lace, because the two plies (in smoother yarns, that is) push away from one another, holding open the space around them—especially within angular lines of yarn overs.
Isager Yarn
Instead of the stockinette bands, here the visual emphasis fell more on those yarn overs and the U-shaped band of strands in front of the slipped stitches. Also emphasized were the angular lines of decreases on either side of the central seed stitch. After washing and minimal blocking, my swatch showed the beginnings of a halo, mostly from protruding ends of the baby alpaca. Where the Loft was pure sponginess, Alpaca 2 behaved in a more traditionally relaxed, shawl-like manner, thanks to the slinkiness of the baby alpaca.
Isager Swatch
Finally, I decided to try something completely beyond the norm: A cone of the new, ultra-over-twisted Merino (fittingly called Overtwist, or NS-2B) from Habu Textiles. At its core, the yarn is composed of six two-ply strands that are all plied in the same "S" direction, making it an S-on-S cable yarn. Only the final ply of all those component strands is done at an extraordinarily tight, perpendicular angle—in essence forcing an imbalance into the yarn. I used the same needle size as for my previous swatches and the results were far too small. Despite the yarn's diminutive circumference, it needs lots of space. I switched to a U.S. size 10 (6mm) needle and resumed, this time with excellent results.
Habu Yarn
The yarn has so much excess twist that it was constantly twisting back on itself as I worked. I had to dangle my swatch several times to release some of the twist. But the real adventure began when I washed the swatch. The springy Merino fibers innately wanted to relax and release their pent-up energy. My stitches were big enough that the yarn had room to move around, resulting in waves of curling, kinking stitches, like a calligraphy pen gone wild.
Habu Swatch
In some cases the yarn overs became enormous gaping holes, while some of the horizontal lines of slipped stitches developed curlicue embellishment. This is definitely the most elegant, unexpected yarn for the shawl. I'd imagine a full-sized Wavelettes out of this would automatically turn me into that tall, slender woman with a top-floor apartment on the Upper East Side, a circle of cosmopolitan friends and a successful career at, say, a top advertising agency. That's how it works, right?

Remember the story of Tommy Jordan? He was the dad from North Carolina, disgruntled by his daughter's ungrateful behavior and her subsequent rants on Facebook, who ended up shooting her laptop for the world to see.
Some were delighted, some were dismayed, but regardless of the wide range of reactions, disciplining on and around Facebook became a national topic.
Well, the issue arises once again. According to MSNBC, Denise Abbott from Ohio took 'Facebook parenting' into action when her 13-year-old teenage daughter Ava started acting out. Teen drama and being disrespectful were the catalysts for Abbott replacing her daughter's profile picture with one of the girl with a big red X on her mouth with the caption:
"I do not know how to keep my [mouth shut]... I am not longer allowed on Facebook or my phone. Please ask why, my mom says I have to answer everyone that asks."
When asked by the TODAY Show what her reasoning was, Abbott replied, "I decided to do something that I know would totally impact her, and that the next time she started that she'd think, 'Ha ha I don't want my face all over Facebook again with a red X over my mouth…'"
Abbott wanted to discipline her daughter in a social media world because she knows how prevalent this world is in her daughter's life.
She also added that parents have to adapt their "parenting skills with the times."
In an email response to the TODAY Show, Abbott's daughter Ava replied that she feels the punishment was just and that her behavior warranted her mom's reaction.
Do you think Abbott's actions were warranted? Would you ever take action and discipline your kids via Facebook like these parents did?

Sorrow, Suspension, Ascension

Sam Taylor-Woods Forest Whitaker, 2002, conveys the image of a man in sorrow, but also of a celebrity crying.
C-E-L-E-B-S As If From a Factory
A new acronym for a new crowd of artists with certain concerns
By DREW B. STRAUB
Discussing the work of Sam Taylor-Wood is problematic. So much of the hype surrounding her workthe young British artist (YBA) label that links her to others from the Brit Pack, her marriage to Jay Jopling, the gallery dealer most responsible for bringing this groups art to the fore, her survival from two cancer bouts and her constant use of celebrities as subjectsmakes it inevitable that the discussion of art has more than a dose of fashion and autobiography mixed in as well.
In the current show at Matthew Marks Gallery, Taylor-Wood has again focused her camera on the famous. In the series Crying Men, from 2002 2004, Taylor-Wood shows large C-prints of 28 A-list actors in various states of sorrow, with some shedding tears. The handsome photographs are in both black and white and color.
Are these photographs interesting because they are of men crying or simply because the men are famous actors? As I went through the exhibition putting names to famous facesPaul Newman, Robert Downey, Jr., Willem Dafoe, Jude Lawmy concerns were not about art and photography but rather the connection between the artist and the actor, and reality versus artifice.
The trophy face approach reached its apex for Taylor-Wood in her piece David, which hangs in Englands National Portrait Gallery. Here the beautiful sleeping face of David Beckham, the Brad Pitt of international sports, is recorded for an hour. The idea is Warholesque and once again the concern is as much Page Six as Jansens History of Art. The cult of celebrity seems integral to Taylor-Woods mix of sociology and conceptual art.
Her second series of photographs is entitled Self Portrait Suspended I VIII, from 2003. The artist in bra and panties has been tied and bound in unusual positions several feet above the floor of her perfect loft space. The ropes used to bind her have been digitally removed leaving a contorted, floating partial nude. Issues of sex and fashion are put on par with those of art. The size of the works, the loft setting and the gallery context all say art while the style, youth, beauty and titillation all remind me of fashion editorial and advertising.
Finally, the third piece, Ascension, (2003) is a 35 mm film of a man with a dove on his head tap-dancing on the chest of a prone, still man. The dramatic tension centers on whether or not the dove will take flight. Any Dada ascension metaphor makes for a rather thin plot line.
The Taylor-Wood show was somewhat less than satisfying, not unlike the feeling of peering into a perfectly dressed fashion window in the Meat Packing district, or on Madison Avenue. Art? Yes. Important art? That remains to be seen.
