v. 44.  Sails.]
               —His sail-broad vans
        He spreads for flight.
               Milton, P. L. b. ii. 927.
Compare Spenser, F. Q. b. i. c. xi. st. 10; Ben Jonson’s Every
Man out of his humour, v. 7; and Fletcher’s Prophetess, a. 2. s.

v. 46.  Like a bat.] The description of an imaginary being, who is called Typhurgo, in the Zodiacus Vitae, has some touches very like this of Dante’s Lucifer.

        Ingentem vidi regem ingentique sedentem
        In solio, crines flammanti stemmate cinctum
               —–utrinque patentes
        Alae humeris magnae, quales vespertilionum
        Membranis contextae amplis—
        Nudus erat longis sed opertus corpora villis.
               M. Palingenii, Zod.  Vit. l. ix.
        A mighty king I might discerne,
               Plac’d hie on lofty chaire,
        His haire with fyry garland deckt
               Puft up in fiendish wise.
        x x x x x x
               Large wings on him did grow
        Framde like the wings of flinder mice, &c.
               Googe’s Translation

v. 61.  Brutus.] Landino struggles, but I fear in vain, to extricate Brutus from the unworthy lot which is here assigned him.  He maintains, that by Brutus and Cassius are not meant the individuals known by those names, but any who put a lawful monarch to death.  Yet if Caesar was such, the conspirators might be regarded as deserving of their doom.

v. 89.  Within one hour and half of noon.] The poet uses the Hebrew manner of computing the day, according to which the third hour answers to our twelve o’clock at noon.

v. 120.  By what of firm land on this side appears.] The mountain of Purgatory.

v.123.  The vaulted tomb.] “La tomba.”  This word is used to express the whole depth of the infernal region.

O’er better waves to speed her rapid course
The light bark of my genius lifts the sail,
Well pleas’d to leave so cruel sea behind;
And of that second region will I sing,
In which the human spirit from sinful blot
Is purg’d, and for ascent to Heaven prepares.
     Here, O ye hallow’d Nine! for in your train
I follow, here the deadened strain revive;
Nor let Calliope refuse to sound
A somewhat higher song, of that loud tone,
Which when the wretched birds of chattering note
Had heard, they of forgiveness lost all hope.
     Sweet hue of eastern sapphire, that was spread
O’er the serene aspect of the pure air,
High up as the first circle, to mine eyes
Unwonted joy renew’d, soon as I ’scap’d
Forth from the atmosphere of deadly gloom,
That had mine eyes and bosom fill’d with grief.
The radiant planet, that to love invites,
Made all the orient laugh, and veil’d beneath

Buy The Importance of Being Earnest Lesson Plans

1. Describe Algernon Moncrieff.

Algernon is a droll, educated man in his late twenties or early thirties. He is perpetually hungry, and he will give any excuse - real or false - to avoid spending time with his relatives. He puts on airs of detachment and cynicism, but at heart he is a romantic.

2. How does Jack Worthing's cigarette case betray his identity to Algernon?

Jack Worthing leaves his cigarette case at Algernon's lodging, but Algernon does not know it is his. The case is a gift from Jack's ward, Cecily, and its engraving mentions his real name. At the beginning of the play, Algernon knows Jack only by his town name of Earnest. When Jack claims the cigarette case, he must admit to the ruse.

3. Who is Bunbury?

Bunbury is an imaginary person of Algernon's creation. As Algernon has told his relatives, Bunbury is an invalid friend who is always on the edge of death. As such, Bunbury is a perfect excuse for Algernon to get out of London when he has an appointment he does not want to keep.

Notes on The Bluest Eye Themes

(approx. 4 pages at 300 words per page)
Get the premium The Bluest Eye Book Notes

The Bluest Eye Topic Tracking: Culture

Culture 1: Mr. Henry moves into Claudia and Frieda's house. One day, the girls come home and when they walk in Mr. Henry greets them. He flatters them by telling them they look just like Greta Garbo and Ginger Rogers, two white American female actresses. These two actresses represented American society's ideal beauty, with their blonde hair and blue eyes. They, and other actresses like them, were so idealized by the media that it forced young American girls, both white and black, to question their own beauty if it differed from the standard of blond hair and blue eyes.

Culture 2: After seeing the cup with Shirley Temple on it, Claudia explains her ill feelings for her. Shirley Temple was the epitome of what all of America adored in little girls: her bouncy blonde curls and big blue eyes. This sickened Claudia, as she was so different from Shirley Temple and all of the other little girls who looked like Shirley.

Culture 3: Claudia tells the story about the doll she received for Christmas one year. This doll was a beautiful doll that had blonde hair, blue eyes, and pink skin. Instead of appreciating the doll like most other children would have done, Claudia dismembered and destroyed the doll. She was sick of having American ideals of beauty placed on her, which said that being white with blonde hair and blue eyes was what was deemed as beautiful.

Culture 4: This excerpt from a first grade reading primer describes the perfect white family. Morrison uses these excerpts in many points of the story to illustrate the dichotomy between the ideal white family, and the family of blacks, specifically Pecola's family. The reading book perpetuates the stigma that what is seen as "ideal" in American culture means having a neat little house, run by two loving parents, with two children, one of which has blonde hair and blue eyes, and a fun loving dog who plays with the children. This social stigma presses on children who are "different" that are reading these books, and makes them think they are abnormal and unacceptable.

Culture 5: The Breedloves are described. They think they are poor and ugly, and it says that much of the reason they think this is because of the white American media. The media, as part of our culture, sets the standards for what defines beauty, and anything straying from these standards is viewed as ugly.

Culture 6: Pecola is constantly faced with the standards set on her society by American culture. She cannot even enjoy a piece of candy without feeling that she is different and lacking in some way in terms of beauty. When she goes to eat her Mary Jane candy, she is mesmerized by the little girl of Mary Jane on the cover, a blonde-haired, blue-eyed girl. These cultural pressures of what defines beauty make Pecola aware of just how much she strays from that defined beauty. This eventually leads to her desire for blue eyes, which in turn leads her into madness.

Culture 7: When Pecola, Maureen, Claudia and Frieda are walking home from the ice cream shop, they pass a theater with a picture of Betty Grable on it. Young girls are bombarded with American culture's ideals of beauty, such as pictures of famous actresses. Betty Grable in particular, with her blonde hair and blue eyes, makes Pecola and Maureen want to look like her. However, despite all of their hopes and wishes, they will never be able to look like that, and they are left as the victims of a culture that standardizes and limits young children.

Culture 8: During her younger years, Pauline Breedlove spent a lot of time at the movie theater. It was here where she learned American standards of true beauty. Constantly faced with actresses like Jean Harlow, the ultimate Hollywood blonde bombshell, Pauline was forced to examine her own beauty in terms of Harlow's. She realized that she did not look anything like Harlow, and based on this, came to the conclusion that she must be ugly. However, her feelings of ugliness were purely based on cultural standards set on her through the medium of Hollywood.

Culture 9: Claudia feels the need for Pecola's baby to be alive and healthy. She wants the baby to survive because she wants to counteract the cultural emphasis placed on white girls with blonde hair and blue eyes, exemplified by the types of white baby dolls most children adore (dolls that look like Shirley Temple). If Pecola's baby lives, maybe people can learn to love a black baby and see black as beautiful too. At least this is what Claudia is hoping for.

Culture 10: Pecola beats her arms like a bird, and attempts to fly up to the sky. However, she cannot. The reason she cannot is because she has been held back by the culture in which she lives, a culture that values white beauty, and ignores black beauty. It was an inevitable end result that Pecola would never be able to achieve the standards of beauty she wanted to. She was born a black child, and unfortunately, her culture does not accept black beauty. Thus, her dreams would never be fulfilled. And even though she thinks she has blue eyes, the world around her does not recognize her as she wishes to be seen. And because of this, she is driven to madness, caused by the pressures and social standards of her culture.

Anything Goes (2016)

Birkenhead Operatic Society Trust have been at their exuberant best with a three-night run at the Floral Pavilion.

BOST Musicals are consistently good value-for-money with their striking stage sets, costumes and spectacular song and dance routines.

Anything Goes by Cole Porter was tailor-made for such a company.

He wrote the music and lyrics while PG Woodhouse and Guy Bolton wrote the original book.

It was later revised by Lindsay and Crouse.

And that is what so many audiences see and hear to this day from amateur to professional groups.

The SS America is sailing from New York to London and on board there are a variety of characters who are all at sea in more ways than one.

There’s love-sick Billy Crocker and sea-sick Lord Eveyln Oakleigh. They are both love interests of the sweet Hope Harcourt.

Also on board is Reno Sweeney a born again nightclub singer and America’s nearly ‘most wanted’ criminal Moonface Martin.

He is number 13 on the FBI’s list.

A lot happens in the two and half-hour plus show directed by Karen Partington and with musical director Tricia Gaskell and choreographer Charlotte Elverstone from the solo numbers to uptempo songs and the comic interludes.

Cole Porter’s greatest hits (there are many) take up much of act one.

There’s I Get A Kick Out of You; You’re The Top; It’s De-lovely and the title track sailing us into the interval.

Act 2 has the feel good Blow Gabriel Blow and a bull-fighting themed The Gypsy in Me.

Linzi Stefanov as Reeney and Tony Prince as Moonface deserve a place at the captain’s table for their fine performances.

Andrew Heath makes his debut with BOST as a camp purser clearly influenced by the great Kenny Everett.

And there’s Squiggle who plays Cheeky the cute canine. A true pro – take a bow (wow wow).

The sheer energy and dedication of BOST Musicals from principals to chorus and dancers always shines through and I always look forward to their productions where everyone gives 100 per cent from behind-the-scenes to front of stage.

Obama to publish children’s book

WASHINGTON — President Obama, who
has worked to shield his daughters from the spotlight, will publish a
children’s book later this fall framed as a letter from him to them.

Aides to Obama say the president and first lady
aren’t worried that the book will foist the children into the public
eye, because it is not about them, but rather a tribute to 13 Americans
and their commitment to the nation.

The Obamas intend to continue protecting the privacy of their daughters, Malia and Sasha, according to White House press secretary Robert Gibbs. The girls rarely take part in official events with their parents, and the White House actively discourages press coverage of their comings and goings.

“Our encouragement is to keep their private lives
private,” Gibbs said Wednesday. The volume is “an inspirational book
about the country they live in and about their ability and the ability
for children throughout this country to dream … to dream big and
accomplish whatever they want to.”

“Of Thee I Sing: A Letter to My Daughters” is a children’s illustrated book, a slim volume with a small amount of text written by Obama, according to its publisher, Alfred A. Knopf Books for Young Readers, an imprint of Random House Children’s Books. The book is due out on Nov. 16, written in English and will be available around the world.

The manuscript is part of a three-volume deal Obama signed after his election to the Senate
in 2004, and was completed before he was sworn in as president. It is
being marketed as a “moving tribute” to groundbreaking Americans and
the ideals that have shaped the nation.

Artist Georgia O’Keeffe, baseball great Jackie Robinson and President George Washington are among those whose stories it profiles.

Upon moving into the White House, first lady Michelle Obama consulted with her predecessors about their own practices for keeping
their children out of the limelight. In many ways, the Obamas follow
the precedent that Bill and Hillary Clinton set for their daughter, Chelsea, during their residence here.

After all, said Gibbs, Malia and Sasha Obama didn’t make the decision to move to Washington, and their parents want them to “live as normal a set of lives as they can.”

Gibbs said the president will not be deeply involved in marketing the book.

Knopf Executive Editor Michelle Frey edited “Of Thee I Sing,” which the publishing house says it acquired from the president’s attorney, Robert B. Barnett.

Illustrated by best-selling artist Loren Long, the book will carry a retail price of $17.99.
Its first run will see 500,000 copies printed, and proceeds will go to
a scholarship fund for the children of dead and disabled soldiers.

Outcry prompts Longmont school to remove pro-gun link from website

Clip art linked to from the Altona home page.
Jefferson Dodge | Boulder Weekly

After a parent’s protest, a Longmont middle school that had a link on its home page to political websites touting gun rights and Tea Party messages has removed the link and apologized.

Altona Middle School Principal Joseph Mehsling, who was named Colorado’s middle school principal of the year in 2012, says that when he included the link on the school’s website in 2005, it was just intended to provide history about Altona’s motto, “Don’t tread on me,” and an early image of the school’s mascot, the rattlesnake.

The symbol of the rattlesnake and the words “Don’t tread on me” date back to the pre-Revolutionary War era, when a flag bearing that image and motto was carried by colonial Marines. Mehsling is a Republican and a former Marine, raising speculation among parents that he was promoting his political views via the public school’s website.

One parent of a prospective student says she was considering Altona for her child but changed her mind after seeing the websites linked to the middle school’s home page. She says she wants to remain anonymous, and that other parents she has talked to don’t want to go on record with the media about their concerns either, due to potential negative consequences for their families in the district or some kind of retaliation.

Altona is one of the highest-ranked middle schools in the area, earning designation as a John Irwin School of Excellence and a Distinguished Governor’s Award in 2010.

The link, which was changed last week after a parent complained, led to a website containing the history of the iconic image and motto, but also linked to sites with Tea Party blogs, a store selling graphic T-shirts bearing guns with messages like “Come and take it,” and photos of tattoos with snakes wrapped around guns and anti-gun-control messages.

BW used the Wayback Machine, an online service that periodically archives websites as they appeared at specific points in time, to view the “Don’t tread on me” link at the bottom of the Altona home page that led to the controversial material.

Image linked to from the Altona web page.

The parent interviewed by Boulder Weekly expressed concern about the pro-gun imagery in light of recent school shootings, and objected to the idea that a publicly funded school would have such politically charged messages so prominently featured on its home page. The parent charged that Mehsling might have been using the school website to promote his own political agenda.

Mehsling and school district officials say they addressed the issue quickly after being notified of it and changed the link to refer back to the school’s own home page.

John Poynton, public information officer for the St. Vrain Valley School District, says he got a call from a concerned parent last week. He and Mehsling say that unbeknownst to them, the websites linked from the Altona page became more political after the rise of the Tea Party in 2010.

Image from a website linked to from the Altona web page.

Mehsling, who was notified of the controversial link by his supervisor, Mark Mills, an assistant superintendent, says it was an oversight. He told BW that when the school first opened in 2005-06, he thought the “Don’t tread on me” motto would be appropriate since the school’s mascot was the rattlesnake. Mehsling says that in response to parent questions about the motto and the snake flag in the school, he did an Internet search for that saying, and linked to what he thought was an innocuous website about the history of the image, the motto and the flag. At the time, the Gadsden & Culpeper store that now features inflammatory pro-gun goods was only selling simple images of the snake and the motto on items like T-shirts and coffee cups, he says. And the linked site with photos of tattoos of snakes wrapped around guns with sayings like “Liberty or Death” was not as controversial at the time. A BW examination of past iterations of those sites via the Wayback Machine confirms that they were much more toned-down.

Mehsling says he was unaware that the linked sites had changed so much since he created the home page.

“I didn’t realize this because, honestly, I haven’t clicked into the website since the Tea Party,” he says. “It was a pretty innocuous site back in the day, it just sold some Don’t Tread On Me paraphernalia, none of the right-wing stuff it went to now. So when I found out about it last week, I was like, ‘Oh my God.’ I’m the webmaster too, so that day I removed the link, no problem.”

When asked about speculation that he linked to the material intentionally because of his political persuasions, Mehsling says, “No, and if I was, I’d be a heck of a mind-reader in 2005. When’s the Tea Party? 2010? I didn’t have a five-year plan.”

The Gadsden flag

In response to a question about whether he is a gun-rights advocate, Mehsling replies, “No, not necessarily.” He declines to reveal whether he owns guns or supports recent calls to have armed guards or armed teachers in schools. He also says no parent should have a fear of retribution.

“If it led to other sites and other links that are displaying inappropriate material, it shouldn’t be on a school’s website,” he says of the Altona home page. “I’m a former Marine, so people can probably make a lot of assumptions about me without talking to me. … The Gadsden flag was carried by colonial Marines in 1775, before there was even a United States flag, and it just fit with our rattlesnake motto. … It’s just a great kid motto, and it’s kind of sad it’s been hijacked for other uses.”

Spinal Tumour

Spine tumour is the abnormal growths of uncontrolled tissues or cells in and around the spinal cord. Tumours can either be cancerous (malignant) or non-cancerous (benign). Some of the commonly occurring benign spinal tumours are osteoma, osteoblastoma, haemangioma, and osteochondroma. Most commonly occurring malignant spinal tumours are chondrosarcoma, Ewing’s sarcoma, lymphoma, osteosarcoma, and multiple myeloma. Tumours that begin in the spine are called as primary spinal tumours. Tumours that spread to the spine from other parts such as the breast, prostate, lung, and other areas are called secondary spinal tumours.

The cause of primary spinal tumours is not known, but may occur with genetic defects. Secondary spinal tumours occur when the cancer cells arise from kidneys, lungs, breasts, and spreads to the spine. Other causes include

  • Rapid division of cancer cells in the nerves, bones, or cartilage of the spine
  • Exposure to radiations and chemicals
  • Hereditary – Neurofibromatosis is a tumour of the spinal nerves

People with spine tumour experience persistent and chronic back pain, numbness, burning and tingling sensation, loss of sensation in legs, arms, ankle, knee, and difficulty in balancing, and also experience bladder or bowel control problems.

Spine cancer can be diagnosed by neurological examination which identifies the exact location of the tumour. Other imaging tests done to confirm the spinal tumour may include cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) examination, myelogram, and spine computed tomography scan, spine magnetic resonance imaging scan, and spine X-ray. In addition to these tests, bone scan and positron emission tomography (PET) scan are also done. After the tumour is found, biopsy is done to identify the type of tumour and provide necessary treatment.

Medications such as corticosteroids and anti-inflammatory drugs are prescribed to reduce inflammation and swelling around the spinal cord. External braces are also used which provide support and control pain.

Other treatments include chemotherapy, radiation therapy, surgery, and physical therapy which may provide permanent relief.

  • Surgery: It is done to remove the tumour confined only to one portion of the spine. To minimize nerve damage, electrodes are used to test different nerves of the spine. In some cases sound waves are used to break tumours and the remaining tissues are removed.
  • Radiation therapy: This method uses high beam of radiations to destroy the cancer cells. It is used after surgery to destroy the remaining cancer cells. An advanced device called cyber knife, painless and non-invasive treatment that passes high doses of radiations to the targeted areas of the spinal cord is used in radiotherapy.
  • Chemotherapy: Combination of anti-cancer drugs is used to destroy the cancer cells. Chemotherapy is used to shrink the cancer cells, to stop the division of cancer cells, and prevent them from spreading to surrounding tissues. The drugs enter the bloodstream and reach the cancer cells to destroy them. Some of the commonly used drugs are methotrexate, doxorubicin, cyclophosphamide, carboplatin, and ifosfamide.

Some of the complications observed after surgery are temporary loss of sensation, nerve tissue damage, and bleeding.

Physical therapy: Exercises may be needed toimprove muscle strength and the ability to function independently.

The New House

Our due diligence period is almost over, almost all the t's have been crossed and most of the i's dotted - and truthfully - I just couldn't wait anymore, so I'm sharing our new house today.

Here she is, the one that didn't get away. Our little English cottage. Ok, maybe it's not an English cottage, but I kind of think it looks like one, so I'm going with it.

See, check this out. This was our actual little English cottage from when we lived in Wimbledon. Similarities, don't you think? This was the home we brought Tessa home to, were she lived the first year of her life. It holds a special place in our hearts - perhaps that's why our new yellow stucco home in Charlotte spoke to us.

Anyway, moving on...
Our new home features a living room with adjoining den. This will be totally new to me, in our last home we had one big first floor living space. Guess I need to start collecting more furniture...what a shame :)

The kitchen definitely needs some freshening, but it's a big space with an attached breakfast room that opens to the den. And wet bar, can't leave that little gem out!
We are planning on new counters, painted cabinets and new appliances. All of which we are hoping to do before we move in!

One of the best features that I am most excited about is the back staircase that leads to a bonus room with full bath above the attached garage. The current owner is using it as a bedroom, but we have big plans to turn this into the family playroom. This will take the place of our old lower level family room. Finding a house with a basement is pretty tricky in Charlotte, so a separate playroom was high on my list. And, I am loving that cork floor!

The back of the house has a lovely wooden deck, off the den, overlooking the private, mature yard.
This home is clearly in much better condition than our last home, but it does require a bit of TLC to get up to date. And, of course, we are more than happy to be the ones to love it!

until next time,

Crop Report #1 German, April 19, 2016

This is the first report by the Braugersten-Gemeinschaft e.V. (German Malting Barley Association) about German spring barley plantings for 2016. While official acreage data is not yet available, all quantities presented here are based on preliminary estimates compiled by local experts. The report provides an early summary assessment of spring barley acreages presently under cultivation.

Once again, Germany experienced an unusually mild and warm winter in 2015/2016. The average temperature was 3.6°C (38.5°F), which is 3.4°C (6.1°F) above the long-term reference mean compiled for 1961 to 1990. This makes the previous winter one of the warmest on record since the start of weather statistics in 1881. There were only two sustained frost periods, one in early January and one in mid-January. However, because of a warming blanket of snow, the freezing temperatures failed to create beneficial frost tilths.

Precipitation was 195 l/m2, which was 7% higher than the long-term mean of 181 l/m2. By March 15, however, winter was essentially over. The weather turned pleasant and the soil dried fast. This allowed sowing to take place between late March and mid-April in all German brewing barley regions. Because of favorable soil conditions, plantings were quick and compact, while changeable weather throughout April provided sufficient moisture in the ground and gave the seeds a good start.

The Barley Associations of the German States estimate that this year’s total spring barley acreage is about 359,000 ha. In Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, there was some winterkill especially in winter wheat, winter rapeseed, and winter barley, which may still have an impact on the eventual spring barley acreage. The proportion of barley plantings intended for brewing purposes remains unchanged from the previous year. Barley varieties planted in Germany in 2016 follow the recommendations of the Berlin Program. The key varieties are Avalon, Catamaran, Quench, Solist, and Propino. In addition, Grace still dominates plantings in Bavaria, where it occupies some 40% of barley acreage.

The next crop report for German spring barley will be released in the middle of May.

Lisa Goldstein

Interviewed by Dave Awl

Lisa Goldstein was walking around Oakland's historic Paramount Theatre -- an elegant, ornate auditorium that decades ago served as a dependable stop on the vaudeville circuit -- when the tour guide said something that sparked her imagination. "The tour ended up in a space below the stage, known as the 'trap room,'" she recounts. "The guide pointed out that the Paramount's stage actually didn't have a trap door. And then he said, 'So if there were any magicians in the Paramount they would have to be real ones.' And I thought, that's great!"

From the guide's throwaway remark came the idea for Goldstein's latest novel, Walking the Labyrinth (Tor), a mystery about a family of touring magicians who have genuine magical powers. Like a modern day Tempest, Labyrinth is a tale of enchanters and deception, about power and its uses and abuses.

Set primarily in the Bay Area, including Goldstein's native Oakland, the novel centers on temp Molly Travers. Travers discovers she's related to an old showbiz clan -- the Allalie Family -- that in turn has ties to a nineteenth-century occult society called the Order of the Labyrinth. As she begins unraveling the secret of her history, she encounters Goldstein's usual array of densely strange touches: secret diaries, tigers that speak, golden statues that come to life and funny old mansions with dusty, Byzantine mazes in their basements. It's one of Goldstein's most lighthearted and enjoyable books, with the page-turning suspense of a mystery, brightened and made eccentric by Goldstein's Daliesque imagery, deadpan delivery and paragraphs that veer oneirically into poetry.

Walking the Labyrinth joins Goldstein's growing list of literary one-of-a-kinds, in a career marked by the defiance of expectations. She's the daughter of two Jewish concentration camp survivors, and The Red Magician won an American Book Award for its tale of a mysterious Talmudic magician, who tries to bring warning of impending disaster to a small Jewish village in central Europe -- and subsequently becomes a powerful symbol of survival to one young girl. It marked a stunning debut, followed closely by more unclassifiable wonders: The Dream Years, a novel set in surrealist Paris wherein Andre Breton journeys into the twenty-first century to take part in a revolution for dreams; Tourists about an American family lost in a foreign city where the taxi drivers ignore your directions and instead take you where you really need to go; and Strange Devices of the Sun and Moon, a tale of fairy revels in Elizabethan London, as seen through the eyes of Christopher Marlowe and Thomas Nashe.

Although Goldstein's books generally wind up on the Science Fiction/Fantasy shelves, they are told in a style that has more in common with T.H. White, Russell Hoban and Gabriel Garcia Marquez than the more conventional fantasy writers whose books sit alongside hers. She shares a birthday with Magritte; and sometimes her books seem like nothing so much as delicate, cryptic paintings. "I don't like doing the same book over and over again," says Goldstein. "So I try to do something different each time. And I didn't realize how unusual this was until I started getting reviews saying, 'Goldstein seems never to write the same book twice.' And the critics sound sort of disgusted by it."

Make no mistake, though: Goldstein has a following, and critical praise coming out the ears. Orson Scott Card, patriarch and opinion maker of the SF field, has considered aloud whether she might be called the best writer in the genre today. Yet she doesn't get the prominent shelf placement, glossy advertisements and off-the-chart sales of lesser writers, like Piers Anthony, who basically write the same book repeatedly. For Goldstein, large-scale success has always seemed just around the corner. In recent years, publishers have tried to market Goldstein's work both within the fantasy genre (such as 1994's Summer King, Winter Fool) and as straight fiction ("Tourists"), producing no real breakthrough in sales. "The 'Tourists' experience kind of scared me as far as the mainstream goes," she says. "I just don't seem to fit that niche. But I don't fit the Science Fiction/Fantasy category either."

Over a sunlit lunch at a small, dingy diner between Oakland and Berkeley, I venture to suggest that she's something like the David Bowie of fantasy authors: a chameleon who continually reinvents herself, whose work may not always crack the Top 40, but who will be remembered longer for her innovation. She pauses for a minute to think that one over. "Never been called that before," she says in her laconic deadpan.

The conversation takes the sort of unexpected twists that characterize Goldstein's books. We talk about her family's Holocaust experiences and the grandfather Goldstein never knew, who inspired her most sentimental short story, "Alfred." Then she points out the phrase on Labyrinth's dedication page, "For Claire Parman Brown" and tells me Brown was a member of her writer's workshop who constantly badgered Goldstein for letting her characters be so passive. (An old criticism of Goldstein's work, one that provokes a wistful sigh when I bring it up.) Brown died in an accident in Nepal two and a half years ago; but Goldstein kept hearing her voice as she crafted Molly Travers, arguably her most determined protagonist. "I wrote this book -- somewhat -- for her," says Goldstein.

And finally, we talk about Harpo Marx. Yes, Harpo. Of course, Harpo. He comes up as I'm digging around for one last question, and I mention Labyrinth's Corrig, one of the younger performing Allalies and a mischievous, mute trickster who causes salt shakers to caper across the table and fish to wink at diners from restaurant plates. "You know," I say, "Corrig really reminds me of someone..." and Goldstein already grins gleefully. We both say Harpo's name at the same time. Goldstein laughs, and enthusiastically recommends his autobiography -- she's enthralled by The Silent One. (In fact, "The Dream Years" is partially dedicated to him.)

"Harpo was such an amazing person," Goldstein says. "I've always had this sense that there is magic underlying everything. You could tell he knew that. He knew something that we don't know, but he never talked about it." In that way, Goldstein says, the surreal family of magicians are modeled on the Marx family, using their magic to confound the expectations of others, as a way of demonstrating truths they cannot otherwise express.

The check arrives and we head out into the Oakland sunshine. As we walk away from the restaurant, I half-expect Goldstein to dissolve into a flock of birds or melt into a phrase of music, like one of the characters in her books. But she doesn't. She drops me off at the BART station, says her terse goodbye and heads off determinedly in her own direction.

NRA Declares Victory over Facebook Response to Gun Control Groups

NRA Declares Victory over Facebook Response to Gun Control Groups

After almost a month of pressure by Mayors Against Illegal Guns (MAIG) and Moms Demand Action For Gun Sense in America (MDA) to get Facebook to “prohibit the private selling or trading of guns on its platforms,” Facebook announced “new educational and enforcement measures for commercial activities” that essentially restate what a company spokesperson said a week ago when they announced Facebook is not an online retailer and does not sell anything–including guns.

Facebook’s March 5th announcement thanks “New York Attorney General Schneiderman, Americans for Responsible Solutions, Sandy Hook Promise, Mayors Against Illegal Guns, and Moms Demand Action” for all their input. But in the end, Facebook merely announced it “will not permit people to post offers to sell regulated items that indicate a willingness to evade or help others evade the law.”

This makes three straight losses for Moms Demand Action stretching from Starbucks to Staples to Facebook.

NRA-ILA executive director Chris Cox responded to Facebook’s announcement thus:

The NRA enjoys 150 times more support on Facebook than Michael Bloomberg’s Mayors Against Illegal Guns. That’s why Bloomberg and the gun control groups he funds tried to pressure Facebook into shutting down discussion of Second Amendment issues on its social media platforms. Bloomberg failed. NRA members and our supporters will continue to have a platform on which to exercise rights in support of their Second Amendment freedoms.

Darkness Falling: Forever Twilight, Book 1 by Peter Crowther

“Something has happened in Jesman’s Bend – a predawn flash of unearthly light has cut off their middle-American everyville from the outside world.

When four employees of local radio station KMRT investigate, they find the town mysteriously depopulated, apparently in the middle of regular routines. Familiar folk reappear shortly afterward, all wearing concealing sunglasses and gloves and driven by malignant alien motives.

Little do they realise the phenomenon isn’t unique to Jesman’s Bend, but has affected the entire world… ”

Debris: The Veiled Worlds by Jo Anderton

“Tanyana is among the highest ranking in her far-future society. She is a skilled pionner, able to use a mixture of ritual and innate talent to manipulate the particles that hold all matter together. But an accident brings her life crashing down around her ears. She is cast low, little more than a garbage collector. But who did this to her, and for what sinister purpose?

Her quest will take her to parts of the city she never knew existed, and open the door to a world she could never have imagined”

FAA Cafeteria

FAA Cafeteria

Hawthorne Federal Building
Hawthorne, CA

Project Approach and Relevant Features

The design involved a major remodel of the cafeteria seating area at the Hawthorne Federal Building. The goal of the redesign was to create a contemporary restaurant feel that would attract users and improve their experience.

The design included a variety of seating options, including booths, banquettes and tables for customers who wished to relax and high counter seating for those on the run. The design also included lounge seating areas for a relaxed, conversational experience.

The project included new finishes throughout, primarily dominated by warm, transparent wood surfaces. Ceiling heights were varied to provide both open and private dining areas. All new light fixtures were included, as well as, motorized shading and controls on the existing, large curtain wall system which comprised one side of the cafeteria.
Self-help space was also provided to allow users to warm or mix their own meals. Convenient recycling stations supported the facility’s waste management program.

Brokaw Design was the electrical engineer and lighting designer. Charles Beavers was the project manager while with Interactive Resources.

Design has been completed and construction is awaiting funding. The estimated construction cost is $740,000.

Client-Focused Solutions and Benefits

The design team worked closely with the building staff including preparing alternative layouts for the seating, material options for all finishes, and realistic interior perspectives to demonstration how the various options will look.

Rutland Film On Racism Has Yet To Receive Local Showing

Font size: Decrease font Enlarge font
“Divided by Diversity” by Duane Carleton

Duane Carleton had just finished making his first movie — a documentary about the 1986 murder of Manchester golf pro Sarah Hunter titled “Overtaken by Darkness” — when a friend suggested another southern Vermont headline as fodder for a second.

In 2010, five black teenagers aiming to flee the crime-ridden Bronx transferred to Mount St. Joseph Academy, a private, parochial Rutland high school in need of students. The boys, joining the struggling basketball team, soon helped their classmates turn the previous year’s 2-18 record into a 16-7 season.

Win-win? Not for the New Yorkers, who found themselves the target of racial taunts and rumors in the stands and on social media.

“Nobody had any facts,” Carleton would learn. “All I heard was speculation and hearsay and conjecture.”

By the time the school principal and coach resigned after facing similar abuse, the filmmaker was splicing together 3 and a half years of interviews and information into a new documentary.

“Divided by Diversity” premiered last August at a sold-out screening in Manchester, just showed at the Bronx Museum of the Arts and is set to run Jan. 26 at St. Michael’s College in Colchester. But although the movie tells a Rutland story and “reveals many of the modern elements that are contributing to racial tension nationwide,” its maker has yet to find a hometown location willing to screen it.

“It’s a bit of a sticky wicket,” says one of several arts organizers reluctant to speak publicly about the lack of a local booking in the month of Martin Luther King Jr. Day.

Some worry the film is too heavy on talking heads and silent graphics. Others fear it could implicate or inflame many for the actions of a few. And all add the community is divided enough by national news-making plans to welcome 100 Syrian refugees this month.

Carleton, a local musician, says the last concern is all the more reason for people to see the film.

“The arguments against the five students and the refugees are the same: ‘You’re not from here, you don’t belong here, you’re taking away something from someone here.’”

The Bronx boys had cause to flee New York: Their 5,000-person housing project reported almost 100 murders and 4,000 robberies and assaults between 2009 and 2012.

“A lot of violence,” one of the students confirms on camera.

“And drugs,” adds a second.

“I was walking to school and I saw a dead body,” says a third.

They go on a full five minutes recalling the deaths of brothers, sisters, cousins and best friends.

Enter MSJ. Back in 1882 when Rutland momentarily surpassed Burlington as Vermont’s most populous city, the Catholic Sisters of St. Joseph established their namesake academy, which housed as many as 600 students in the 1960s. As Rutland dropped from the state’s second-largest community to third in 2000 and fifth in 2010, however, the school saw enrollment dip to 70.

MSJ teachers welcomed the New Yorkers. But when the teenagers started playing on the basketball team, some parents called for outside enrollment limits to protect opportunities for “local” students.

“My question would be why?” Bob Johnson, associate executive director of the Vermont Principals’ Association, says in the film. “If you’re a private school, why would you want to reduce the number of potential students?”

Others asked the same question when a white transfer student from Georgia joined the team to cheers while his black peers drew racial epithets, their coach received death threats and a local host mother faced anonymous and unsubstantiated charges of inappropriate sexual conduct.

By the time fans of opposing teams were chanting “KFC” and cheering in gorilla and banana costumes, the New York Times was telling the nation, “In Vermont, Bronx Players Help Team, but Stir Outcry.”

The team went on to win the 2012 Division II state championship. But the taunts and threats continued, spurring the coach and principal to resign and the black players to leave the state upon graduation.

The one silver lining: All five have gone on to college, the closing credits report.

“I don’t think anyone truly understands what these young men went through, the type of lives that they came from,” Johnson says in the film. “An environment where violence was a daily occurrence.”

Carleton hopes his documentary will shed light on the situation.

“The issues aren’t just happening in Rutland or Vermont,” he says. “I think the film serves as a microcosm of the nativism — ‘first look out for the locals’ — going on everywhere right now.”

Carleton has screened his film in the nearby town of West Rutland, has been approached about showings in Brattleboro and Woodstock, and is selling DVDs on his website here. Although he’s not giving up on a city presentation, he is not pinning his hopes on one, either.

“There are definitely people who have expressed frustration that it hasn’t been shown in Rutland, but to me it’s much more important it get out to the rest of the world,” he says. “When you have people going to games yelling racial slurs at teenagers, we as a society have to ask, ‘How do we resolve this?’”

Riot Fest Chicago – 2009 lineup (Cock Sparrer, Dead Milkmen, Butthole Surfers, Naked Raygun, Murder City Devils & more)

by Black Bubblegum

DOWNLOAD: Cock Sparrer – “Spirit of ’76” (MP3)

Cock Sparrer

First of all, Riot Fest Chicago is not a celebration commemorating the riots at the 1968 Democratic Convention. There are no cops in attendance (unsympathetic ones anyway), and no one is there to “set the record straight”.

In 2005 Mike Petryshyn started Riot Fest… With one eye on the legendary Chicago punk scene and the other on the bands that inspire them, he started building the festival, with an ambitious multiple show/venue format despite his inexperience. He put special emphasis on reuniting influential punk and underground bands who hadn’t shared the stage in years and Chicago’s rich punk history has always been a huge part of the Riot Fest roster, this year 11 bands from the area are confirmed so far.

Year five of Riot Fest in Chicago is systems-go from Oct 7th-12th and with an enviable punk rock lineup of Butthole Surfers, Naked Raygun, Cock Sparrer, Dead Milkmen, Murder City Devils, NOFX, 88 Fingers Louie, Screeching Weasel, Pegboy, Off With Their Heads, and many many more. Full lineup and flyer (with New Bomb Turks not listed) is below.

Besides the obvious awesomeness of Naked Raygun, who played their first reunion gig at Riot Fest in 2006 (and who are playing NYC soon, tickets on sale), and a few key others, one exciting band on the lineup is the UK’s Oi! pioneers Cock Sparrer:

Cock Sparrer (initially Cock Sparrow) are a punk rock band formed in 1974 in the East End of London, England. Although they never enjoyed much commercial success, the band is considered one of the most influential streetpunk bands in history, helping pave the way for the late-1970s punk scene and the Oi! subgenre. Their style was influenced by pub rock, glam rock and raw 1960s beat music as delivered by bands like The Small Faces and The Who. Their lyrics mostly dealt with topics related to the daily lives of working class people.

Cock Sparrer recently played Chaos in Tejas. Riot Fest and a two night stand at The Great American Music Hall in San Fran are currently the only US dates that the band has lined up for the future (dates below).

Cock Sparrer just released their first album in 10 years, Here We Stand, which washed up on US shores last month via Pirates Press. The 14 track LP was recorded by Pat Collier (The Vibrators) and mixed by Lars Fredriksen (Rancid) and includes “Spirit of ’76” which is downloadable above.

Meanwhile, Riot Fest is also spreading it’s wings out west to bring Los Angeles it’s own taste from November 12-14. Lineups are to be announced, but look for those bands at the participating stages of The Palladium, The Wiltern, Key Club and The Roxy. More details are to come.

Considering Cordless Vacuum Cleaners

There are plenty of options you can consider when it comes to vacuum cleaners. Cordless vacuum cleaners are a versatile type of vacuum. While maybe the minimum capable of the vacuum models, these vacuums have a skill for getting into hard to reach places and making a huge showing with regards to cleaning on hardwood floors, territory mats, and light carpeting. The slimness of this model makes it an impeccable expansion to any wardrobe space, as it tucks flawlessly into most corners. In case you are looking for something more modern, robot vacuum cleaner can be a good option. Robot vacuum cleaners have picked up a considerable measure of ubiquity as of late, essentially because of the way that they require little exertion on your end.

Tips for Considering Vacuum Cleaners

These vacuums can meander openly around your home, sucking up any little chaos in its way. They spare you time, as well as are ready to achieve places that bigger vacuums wouldn’t have the capacity to, for example, under the love seat. One primary downside of robot vacuums is that they commonly come at a precarious cost. In choosing the best vacuum cleaner for you, there are some questions you need to ask yourself: Do you have fundamentally hardwood floors all through your home? Are these floors secured with region mats, or would they say they are exposed?

Is your home loaded with one end to the other carpeting? These are contemplations you should make before taking the jump and buying your own special vacuum cleaner. On the off chance that you have uncovered floors, you’re in an ideal situation with models that give various connections and which don’t have as much haul as a portion of the others.Utilizing a general upright vacuum on theground surface like hardwood represents various issues, which incorporates scratching your smooth and pined for floors and being counterproductive by dispersing flotsam and jetsam over their surfaces. In the end, you should concentrate on your unique needs.

Searching for The Best Type of Vacuum For Bare Floors?

Below is an infographic from VACUUMSEEK.COM which specializes in top rated vacuums to make things less complicated when getting a new vacuum cleaner for your home. Learn what are the key features to look for when seeking out a vacuum for bare floors.

The nacktzone: why do Germans love being nude?

Northern Europeans, who live in some of Europe's coldest climes, never seem to want to keep their clothes on. How did this cultural penchant for disrobing come about?

I've splurged a bit and joined a very fancy gym here in Berlin - largely because it's the only chain to have locations I can use in both of my cities. The location here in Berlin is actually half gym and half wellness center, with four saunas, two hamams, a hot tub, an ice bath, a roof deck, and several rooms for "intense relaxation" (which as far as I can tell just means 'sleeping').

Yesterday while I was there there was a bit of a ruckus when a young Polish man became angry that he and his girlfriend were not being allowed into the wellness area with their bathing suits on. Like in any German gym, the wellness area is a 'nacktzone' - nudity obligatory. The young man started shouting angrily in English, "Why do Germans have to be naked all the time?"

Germans take their nudity very seriously. Here in Berlin it's almost an unavoidable fact of life, with naked people strewn around Tiergarten and along the lakes. In fact the love for nudity is a phenomenon I've observed across the Germanic world, from Trondheim to Vienna. It seems to follow the Latin-Germanic divide. For instance, I belonged to a Dutch gym chain in Belgium. Bathing suits were strictly required in the mixed-gender sauna areas at the locations in French-speaking Brussels. But at the locations in Dutch-speaking Holland and Flanders, bathing suits were prohibited in the sauna/hamam.

I remember one of the more amusing things I witnessed early on in my career covering the EU was at an informal meeting of energy and environment ministers in Åre, Sweden, during the Swedish EU presidency of 2009.

After the day's meetings the journalists and the ministers were taken to the top of a famous waterfall in the region, for an evening dinner reception. The group of journalists was led up the mountain path first, and as we got closer we could see that there was a naked person sitting on a rock at the top of the falls. Knowing how much the Swedes treasure their naked time, I figured it was just a random bather (who I felt sorry for as he was about to find himself surrounded by photo-snapping journalists!). But as we got closer I could see he was actually wearing a pagan wreath around his head and playing a fiddle. And he was on full-frontal display. Our guide gave a sly smirk and said this was a character from Swedish folklore who played the fiddle at water falls naked and made lustful women dive into the water and drown. It was actually a demonstration set up by the Swedish presidency for the visiting ministers!

The countries hosting the EU presidency often feature important elements of their culture to showcase to visiting journalists and ministers, and apparently nudity is so important for Swedes that they wanted to give a demonstration. The highlight of the trip was watching the ministers come upon the naked fiddler one by one. We could pretty much gage where they were from based on their reaction. The German, Austrian and Danish ministers acted like it was the most normal thing in the world. Ed Milliband, at the time the UK's environment minister, turned a bright shade of red and started giggling nervously. The Eastern Europeans looked offended, and the Southern Europeans looked confused. The visiting dignitary from South Africa, who was there to speak to EU ministers about the perspective of the developing world, almost fell over laughing.

FKK all the way

So why this semi-religious attachment to nudity in the Germanic lands? It all goes back to the Freikörperkultur movement (free body culture, or FKK) in Germany and Scandinavia starting in the 17th century.

The movement began as a backlash to developing mores around nudity over the previous century. It looked to ancient Greek bathing practices as inspiration, reacting against the sexualisation of the naked body and the view of nudity as a source of shame. The Nazi regime tried to eliminate FKK in the 1930s but to no avail - it had already become an integral part of German culture. FKK only strengthened after the war. Today there are few restrictions on public nudity in Germany and FKK is celebrated in song and verse. I think I've heard the 1983 song "Rock n' Roll am FKK" about 100 times in German bars over the years.

So why did this movement develop in Northern Europe rather than in areas with colder climes? One might be tempted to attribute it to Protestantism because of the geography, given that the Catholic countries of Eastern and Southern Europe have an aversion to nudity. But there is probably no correlation because FKK is as popular in the Catholic areas of Germany (not to mention Austria and Switzerland) as it is in the Protestant parts. This theory is also belied by the very different attitude toward nudity amongst their protestant cousins in Britain and America.

Personally I think it actually has something to do with the cold weather. I've found that harsh winters make people more grateful when warm weather comes around (for example, I witnessed more of an enthusiasm for summer in Chicago than in New York). Perhaps these Germans and Scandinavians are so tired of bundling up all winter that when summer comes around they just want to strip everything off.

I suppose the obvious question arising from all of this is what I make of FKK as an American (and a former Catholic!). I must admit at first I found it pretty shocking and uncomfortable. I remember during a ski trip in Austria in 2008, some American friends and I went to a spa. When we tried to enter the sauna area in bathing suits, we were harshly scolded by the Austrian attendant and told we had to be naked. I decided to outsmart them by sneakily wearing my bathing suit under my towel. They were none the wiser. But later while I was briefly living in Switzerland, I decided to let it go. It was either be nude in the wellness area of my gym, or stay out of it. After awhile it just started to feel normal.

So while I don't have any particular enthusiasm for nudity now, my attitude has become 'when in Rome, do as the Romans do'. When I'm in Belgium or the UK, bathing suit it is. But when I'm in Germanic lands, I'll respect their culture. And really, that's what this Polish guy in the gym should have done. There's no reason to get so hung up about it!

This is not a crime to love to be nude. This is the specific of the region. However, people love being nude not only on the beaches, but on the resorts. One of that kind is http://wellcum.at/en/ in Austria close to Italian border. This the complex of saunas, pools, spa, hotel and numerous of activities and entertainments which may pleasure you a lot.

'Pretty Little Liars' Recap: Spencer and Melissa Face Off
'Pretty Little Liars' Recap: Spencer and Melissa Face Off
Megan Cole
Megan Cole
Contributing Writer, BuddyTV
Last week, Emily let a creepy mask-maker make copies of her gorgeous face -- something 'A' would certainly never take advantage of -- while Spencer helped Toby get closer to discovering the truth about his mother's death. Aria helped her mom pack her bags for another country because Out of Town is not far enough when 'A' is targeting moms. And Hanna continued to search for the truth about her mother's role in Wilden's death. In this week's episode, "Face Time," Emily, Hanna and Spencer deal with drama on the home-front while Aria wastes away in romantic sub-plots no one cares about. Read on to find out what the Pretty Little Liars writers have in store for us this week.

Pretty Little Liars Nominated at 2013 Teen Choice Awards >>>

Has Emily's Luck Run Out?

Emily's dad comes home and the audience breathes a sigh of relief at the reminder that at least one of these girls has a decent father figure. Alas, said relief turns into anxiety because Family Services is looking into Emily's home life after her shoulder injury and that arm-grabbing incident in front of the school. Emily feels guilty that her lies have landed her parents in hot water and she tries to fix things by explaining herself to the doctor, who is not Wren, but she seems to raise his suspicions even more.

Not-Wren also has some bad news for Em -- the damage to her shoulder is serious and could require surgery. It also requires her to give up swimming, potentially forever. Emily is heartbroken by this news, especially since she and Paige were so close to blowing town with dual swim-scholarships and a cozy dorm room to decorate.

Emily's day gets a little brighter after a pep-talk from Paige, but when Paige escorts Emily home, the police have been called in on a domestic disturbance. Either no one in Emily's neighborhood has witnessed genuine parenting before or 'A' is determined to strip each Liar of her family support system.

The Melissa Trap

With Toby busy on the trail of Dr. Palmer, Spencer can focus all of her attention on Melissa. The girls finally have some leverage over Melissa thanks to that creepy-face mask they found at Hector's, and Spencer will not waste this opportunity to get some answers. Spencer and Aria set Melissa up to "discover" the mask in the hopes that Melissa will lead them to the person who made it. Their plan works and Team Sparia follows Melissa back to Hector's mask-shop, where Melissa proceeds to get rid of countless masks. Are they all of her face?

Meanwhile, Aria discovers many Ali masks, more than enough for the whole town to commit endless crimes as a supposedly-dead teenage girl. Hector tells Aria that he saw Ali the summer she disappeared and she was desperate to collect the money he owed her. He also saw Ali with someone else, but did not get a look at the other person's face.

As Aria questions Hector, Spencer confronts Melissa. Melissa admits to being on the Halloween train and sending Jenna and Shana to spy on the girls, but she claims Wilden was the one responsible for the fire and that she was not working with him. Melissa says she and the others were afraid of Wilden and that Wilden had a partner who called all the shots. Spencer asks Melissa if she killed Wilden, but Melissa is done with the confessions for now and advises Spencer to let this one go because Melissa has apparently never met her sister. Spencer chooses to believe Melissa and Melissa disappears.

Mama Drama

Hanna continues to try and piece together her mother's involvement in Wilden's death. This becomes more difficult now that the state police are involved, as they are moderately competent and less prone to bribery than the Rosewood cops. Holbrook and his partner Lt. Tanner stop by Mama Marin's bank to check out a safety-deposit box Wilden kept there. The box is full of money, passports and a gun with the serial number scratched off. Ashley claims she has never seen the box before but the state police are not satisfied and cause Ashley some strain at her job.

Hanna chats up Lt. Tanner in the hopes of pointing her toward one of the many other people who wanted Wilden dead, but Tanner still has her eye on the Marin women. Hanna does make some progress with her mother, as she finally gets Ashley to stop denying that she was in Rosewood the night Wilden was killed. But with the evidence piling up and the state police asking all the right questions, Hanna finally acknowledges that her mom might indeed be responsible for Wilden's demise.

In Other Developments...

Toby manages to find Dr. Palmer, but the good doctor is now a patient and no longer coherent about the details of his past. He does remember wanting Toby's mother to stay away from "that blond girl." Dr. Palmer thought there was something off about her.

Aria continues to date Jake, but she has about as much interest in him as I have in the mystery of who killed Wilden-the-worst. Jake is nice and uncomplicated and maybe Aria needs that right now, but as Jake points out after hearing the long tale of Aria's first-and-last love, Aria is not as finished with Ezra as she wants to be.

Meanwhile, Caleb reminds us all of just how much we will miss him when he heads off to Ravenswood by stopping Hanna from getting in deeper with the cops and helping her lie to protect her mother.

And Mona continues to be as MIA as Aria's long-lost brother, Mike.

What did you think of this week's episode? Do you think Melissa told Spencer the truth about not working with Wilden? Did Dr. Palmer want Toby's mother to stay away from Ali or another dangerous blonde? Do Holbrook and Tanner have an ulterior motive for zeroing in on Ashley as Wilden's killer? Let us know your thoughts and theories in the comments section.

'Survivor' Recap: Is Troyzan Smarter than Kat?
'Survivor' Recap: Is Troyzan Smarter than Kat?
This week on Survivor, Troyzan continues to fight to see another tribal council. Kat becomes an easy target for him to sway her vote away from him ... will he be successful? He knows he's alone, even though Tarzan is the only other guy left standing. But no one knows what's going on in Tarzan's head so he doesn't count.

Up In Flames

The reward challenge is a series of questions asked to the group, about the group. Getting the correct answer gives you the opportunity to cut a rope attached to a doll version of each player. Three cuts and the doll falls, then a flame is ignited until the doll is left to mere ashes. A little morbid, but the reward is a helicopter ride and a picnic.

Here are the questions that were asked and what the majority voted (beforehand):

-- Who does not deserve to still be here? Christina
-- Who would you trust with your life? Kim
-- Who most needs a wake up call in life? (a unanimous vote, minus one): Kat
-- Who is the biggest poser? Troyzan
-- Who does the least for their tribe? Sabrina
-- Who would you most like to be stranded with on an island? Kim

In order, how the players were eliminated: Troyzan (no surprise, since all the women were gunning for him), Tarzan, Chelsea, Kat, Christina, Alicia.

Planting the Seed

Kim is the winner! Able to choose two to take with her, she takes Alicia and ... Chelsea. Troyzan immediately takes the opportunity to call Kim (and Kat) out, saying the two that Kim picked indicates the final three. Kat is visibly unhappy, and Kim apologizes as she leaves, to which Kat responds "whatever." Kim tries to defend her choice, saying Chelsea doesn't eat well ... but doesn't everyone?

After the three leave and the rest go back to camp, Troyzan uses the opportunity to his full advantage, telling Kat she has to "grasp" what's going on, that she's not so tight with Kim as she thought. Kat also starts crying, repeating that she doesn't want to be seen as a follower and play her own game.

When Kim returns, she tries to make amends with Kat, saying Troyzan was just getting into her head, and that she wishes she didn't win. She also says off camera that not picking Kat was her first nonstrategic move -- and now she's paying for it.

Here Piggy, Piggy

When a giant pig wanders into camp, it gets the girls wanting to kill it for food. They turn to Troyzan for help, with Alicia implying that killing the pig will get Troyzan brownie points. Well, Troyzan tries -- but barely. It was so obvious. The women are running around freaking out. It was an amusing scene, one which Kim said came at a great time because it broke the tension from earlier.

Slip And Slide for Immunity

The immunity challenge pits two players against each other, where they have to slide onto a course, pick up a ring, and toss it like in a ring toss.

Here's how the rounds went:

Round One:
Chelsea vs. Alicia -- Chelsea wins
Kat vs. Sabrina -- Kat wins
Troyzan vs. Tarzan -- Tarzan wins and the girls erupt in celebration
Christina vs. Kim -- Kim wins with Christina not even making it to the ring toss line.

Round Two
Chelsea vs. Kat -- Chelsea wins
Tarzan vs. Kim -- Kim wins

Kim won the final round over Chelsea, giving her the immunity!

Troyzan's Final Move?

The women discuss splitting the votes again -- which I hope one day comes to bite them in the butt. Sabrina tells Christina she's going to be the person who'll be receiving votes. Christina -- is she THAT dumb?! -- says that's OK with her, and tells Troyzan that info! What is she doing? I thought at first maybe she's not getting edited well, and she was a target early on and haven't been able to shake that -- but seriously.

So Troyzan works Kat again, trying to get her to away from voting for him.

Tribal Council

Troyzan tells host Jeff Probst that he "feels pretty good" and the camera cuts to Kim with a look that says, "what?"

He continues to plant more seeds, saying Christina is the last woman, in the order of women. Christina doesn't do much to help her case.

So the players vote, and they're tallied. The votes are tied three for Christina, three for Troyzan and one for Chelsea with one final vote ...

And it's Troyzan. But he doesn't leave without whispering something in Kat's ear.

Last Saturday, Phillip Lindsay carried the football more than any other running back in Colorado history.

Had it not been for the efforts of Beau Bisharat, Lindsay might have been even busier.

Despite the disappointing 45-42 loss to Arizona, Lindsay was sensational in rushing for a career-high 281 yards and three touchdowns on a school-record 41 carries.

Bisharat, meanwhile, contributed an extremely valuable 32 yards on his eight carries. Those are modest numbers, but his efforts allowed Lindsay to get some much-needed rest at times.

"That was huge, because (Lindsay) was dog tired," CU running backs coach Darian Hagan said. "To have a guy who has the potential like Beau to spell him, that was really big for his growth and our growth."

Arguably the top recruit in CU's 2016 class, Bisharat came to Boulder as a four-star prospect. The Sacramento product picked the Buffs over his hometown California Golden Bears, and that was after originally committing to Stanford. In the final hours of the recruiting process, even Alabama was showing interest.

The true sophomore has been a key member of CU's special teams the past two seasons, but hasn't had much of an impact as a runner, until last week.

Prior to Saturday, Bisharat had just 57 yards on 21 carries in his career.

"It was definitely hard," Bisharat said. "I wouldn't say I was really doubting myself, but I was questioning, 'OK, I've never really got in open space like I was in high school.' It's a lot different than college."

While Bisharat has yet to score a touchdown and his longest run was only seven yards against Arizona, he had one first down and set up the Buffs in third-and-short situations that they converted.

"(Against Arizona), it was nice to be able to get some confidence and be able to run the ball a little bit on a Pac-12 team like that," he said.

"I just felt a lot more calm than I have ever felt in a game. I lot of the times I'm so scared to mess up or something, but when I went in there this week I was a lot more composed. I went through my reads and did what I was supposed to do. If eel like it was a lot easier for me this week."

The Buffs are hoping that was a springboard performance for Bisharat, who, at 6-foot-2, 215 pounds, is the biggest of CU's running backs.

Lindsay, a senior, has followed up his fantastic junior year with another great season. He's fifth in the country with 810 yards rushing and has also scored eight touchdowns on the ground.

The 5-foot-8, 190-pound Lindsay also leads the country with 150 carries, and trying to limit the pounding on his body will be important in the second half of the year.

"You don't want to get Phil beat up," Hagan said. "We have to keep going and keep pressing and keep playing football, but you also want to make sure we're taking care of him."

It'll be easier to take care of Lindsay if the Buffs can get some production out of the backups, who have combined for just 72 yards on 28 carries this season.

Hagan said the Buffs still believe Michael Adkins II (1,200 career yards) and Kyle Evans (No. 2 tailback with 346 yards last season) can help the Buffs win games if needed, but for now, Bisharat has emerged as the No. 2 tailback.

"I'm proud of Beau," Lindsay said. "He's finally getting in there and getting his touches and he's starting to get comfortable. It's exciting .I'm proud of him. Beau has come a long way. To see him out there producing and getting first downs, it's a great feeling and it shows he's ready to play."

While Bisharat would love to break a few long runs and produce better statistics, his performance against Arizona was encouraging.

"I feel like I might have gained some of (the coaches') trust a little bit, because I've never really been carrying the ball in a game like that," he said.

"It was nice."
