New Moon Selling Out Like Crazy

As each movie chain in various area of the USA and the world put their tickets for New Moon online, one thing happens…you guessed it…they sell out.

According to the LA Times:

“Online ticket sellers MovieTickets and Fandango report that the follow-up to last year’s hit from Summit Entertainment, which sold $191.5 million worth of tickets in the U.S. and Canada, is selling out screenings earlier than any other movie to date.

“New Moon” has sold out 50 showtimes of nearly 22,000 offered on Fandango and 13 showtimes of 2,912 offered on MovieTickets. Most of the sold-out shows are at or around midnight Nov. 20, when the movie debuts.”

This will be interesting to see if New Moon breaks the total set by Twilight.  Conventional wisdom in Hollywood would suggest that sequels don’t do as well as originals. There’s one thing we’ve learned in three years of covering Twilight—forget conventional wisdom, it almost never applies here!

  1. New Moon will totally sell more than Twilight! Twilight only added thousands of new fans who’s waiting in line now together with the original book-fans 😀 and as it gets more fans, it gets more attention and even more tickets are sold. Anyone with me?

    • I absolutely agree. The fan base has definitely increased dramatically as will ticket sales. I’m so excited. I’m taking the day of to wait in line:) I already bought 20 tickets last week for myself and family for midnight! Wish I was going to the premier at the Village:( How awesome would that be.

    • I’ve got my midnight showing ticket and plan on watching New Moon at least ten times or more…cant wait. I am so excited.

  2. could you put a link to the original article, I’d love to read it. Thanks. 🙂

  3. Yea there are thousands more fans now. It will sell out quickly and I already know 15 people who didn’t get to watch Twilight at the movies. It’s going to be crazy.
    And yes Anna I AGREE WITH YOU !!!

  4. i’m so excited. Cant wait. Going all the way to the UK from Nigeria to see New Moon (and to have a holiday) because i’m not sure WHEN it comes out here!

  5. I got my tickets to the midnight screening. Woot Woot!!!! Now, i’ll just have to camp out 24 hours in advance just to get a good seat in the theatre!

  6. New Moon is definitely gonna make more than Twilight!! i cant wait I’m buying my tickets in the next couple weeks i cant go to the midnight showing cause me and my friends have school the next day but i am going the next day with my friends then we are having a new moon themed sleepover woohoo! 😀

  7. I brought my midnight tickets in the New Orleans area the day they went on sale and now I’m hearing from some friends and others, that they can’t find them. This movie and the other two will definitly beat out old Hollywood conventional wisdom!

    • I have checked and rechecked several times daily for tickets to sell at the Hammond Palace Theatre. On Movie Tickets website they are the only theatre on their list for the New Orleans area to not be selling advanced tickets.. I dont understand this. I cant get in touch with anyone at the theatre by phone so I guess I will have to go over there and ask in person. This is very very frustrating!!!!!

  8. I am really looking forward to New Moon. My 9th wedding anniversary is Nov 18th, and my husband (love him!) asked if I wanted to go see New Moon for my anniversary present. As much as I’d love to see it when it opens, I am sort of scared to go opening night, or even opening weekend. I want to be able to hear the movie, and after seeing the preview on youtube from ComiCon with all the screaming ladies, I am wondering if the theater is going to be full of screaming ladies. Any idea how long I’d have to wait for some of the new release chaos to die down, or should I just try it and hope that the screaming is minimal?

    • Thats what i am going to do is wait, as hard as its going to be to wait I would rather be able to hear the movie. So i am going to wait a week (or thats what i keep telling myself,lol)

    • Rosalie's pain says:

      The best time to go and watch this movies is during the weekday. If you and your husband can take a day off, it would be the best thing to do, that way you can watch it early in the day. I will probably wait 6 days after its opening date to go see it. Although its my favorite book, I don’t want to be competing with all the other fans. I will simply re-read the book during that time. Also, I saw the new trailer and must say i was very dissapointed. It shows that the Volturi are fighting with Edward which is something that never happened in the book. The volturi come accross as vampires who don’t appreciate violence unless there is no other means of correcting the problem. They seem very civil.

      • See it opening night to experience the craziness (and history–breaking records!) of it all. Then go to a matinee to really dig in to the movie details without all the screamimg. We are all going to see the movie more than once anyway, right?

        I disagree with the Volturri statement. They have a record of gathering to them Vampires with potent powers (i.e. Jane!) and I think they love any excuse to show their dominance–whether violent (vampire baby slaughter) or subtle (telling Bella they look forward to “checking in on her” soon). IMO they are as eveil as they come.

        • Got my tickets this morning thru Fandango! Going to the midnight release! There’s school the next morning so we’ll see how the noise level will be. LOL! Darn, I’ll probably be one of the noise makers myself! LOL I’m going to the mignight show to have fun and just go crazy and let loose! Then I’ll probably go once a week thereafter until the DVD comes out! I’m 49 and my 18 yr old son is coming with me to take it all in! I’m going to the Regal Cinema’s in Marysville Washington. Anyone going there? Let me know, so we can get crazy together! Thanks!

    • If the theater has good enough sound it should drown out enough of the screamers so you can at least hear it. I’ve been to enough movies with very loud crowds and as long as the sound is up the noise isn’t distracting.

    • I fully expected the same thing the night of the Twilight movie: a theater full of screaming teens. But I was pleasantly surprised. That theater was as quiet as church. You could hear a pin drop through the whole movie. Even tweens want to see every minute so they tend to keep quiet!

      • I think if you can go during the day it will better to avoid the “screamers”. They will still be at school 😉 It is opening during the day on the 20th where I am so I am hoping it will be quieter if possible.

  9. I already got my advanced midnight showing tickets for New Moon! 🙂 Now I’ve to wait like two months to see the movie, Nov. 20 can’t seem to come any faster.

    • gabrielle stevens says:

      im gonna wait till a little later cause i wanna be able to hear the movie but i cant talk cause im gonna be one of those screaming girls and november 20th feels like its getting farther every minute

  10. I’ll have you guys know – if you wait until a weeknight to see “NM” you can see it without the screamers. I do know that everyone wants to be among the first to see it (a childhood friend and I in the same neighborhood had a competition of who’d get their dirver’s license first) but I went mid-week for Twilight and all the blockbusters this summer and enjoyed casual *silent* theaters with lots of extra seating. I won’t see a big movie any other way now! 😉

  11. i just bought my new moon tickets. lol no way am i gonna miss out on a midnight showing. im gonna make a shirt to wear there that says “i went to see new moon and all i heard was screaming fangirls” lmao

  12. Anyway I will watch New Moon on the day of release!

  13. What do you mean by conventional?

    What do you mean by wisdom?

    All of the Harry Potter movies have done better than their predecessors.

    Most modern franchises tend to work that way.

  14. hey, jw if anyone knows how reliable is? my friend was gonna get her tickets from there.

  15. Just a heads up. Fandango said my theater wasn’t selling tickets online. I went over to and they had them! So check around, not just one site when you are looking for tickets.

  16. phillygirl19119 says:

    Got my tickets just a few minutes ago for the 12am show. I was trying to buy my tix for the first show on Friday but they’re only selling 7pm right now. Why? I don’t know. But I’ll be at the first show on Friday as well. I’m taking off work. I’m planning to see it 2 to three times (maybe more) on Friday, we’ll see. But I will see it twice w/in a 12 hr period, LOL. I got my tickets off of Fandango. I’m soooo excited! Go New Moon!

  17. OMG i can’t wait! I got my tix for the midnight showing but its 2 hours away from where I live. I’m in nursing school and I have class and an important meeting the next day but I don’t care if I don’t get to sleep that night! It’ll be SO worth it!

  18. I’m 100% certain that New Moon will also break records, and a bigger one too. The sad thing is that here in Montreal, I can’t get my tickets in advance.

  19. I’ve got my tickets!

  20. So excited! I just ordered tickets for the first showing at one of the theaters here in Hawaii!! I’ve never been to the first showing of anything before so I’m not sure what to expect but I know there will be a massive line. Both my teenagers are coming w/me (19 & 17) as well as my niece (20) & we’re all super excited. CANNOT WAIT!!!!!!!

  21. BellaNicole says:

    I got mine and my best friend’s tickets last week!!

  22. cullenbound says:

    I believe it will sell more tickets the twilight did but of course I loved twilight just the same but I am going to see New Moon on Friday and Saturday I just cant wait I am so excited.

  23. I bought me and my daughter’s tickets for the midnight showing…we cannot wait:)

  24. they will sell more tickets with New Moon , I know this b/c I have a lot of friends that were not fans of the books or when to see Twilight and now they have seen it and read the books and can’t wait for New Moon so yea New Moon will surpass Twilight sell for sure …

  25. In Lacey, WA the midnight showing had already sold out the first day they went on sale. New Moon is going to make more than Twilight.

    I can’t wait…

  26. FreakinLoon says:

    My favorite theater hasn’t released tickets yet. Won’t do so, until a month before. Have my office calendar, iphone & home computer calendar set to remind me day of. I have a dozen tickets to order.

  27. I finally got my tix for New Moon midnight so excited but kinda scared at the same time.. I have never been to a midnight showing for ANY movie so I am excited for that..but I’m afraid im gonna go off on some teens and tell them to stop screaming..hope its worth it! 🙂

  28. I have my tickets ;0) When Fandango notified me that tickets were on on pre-sale, got it immediately!!! Excited to be a part of the hoopla..

  29. I already have my tickets!!! I got them as soon as it was available for the 12:01am showing!!!!!

  30. test

    • This has nothing to do with the topic. Im just wondering why i can write comments on the Lex but cant register in your forum with above Email.

      Ist it because its a german adress? Grr… stupid tech.

  31. I bought my tickets last week from the movie theater for the midnight show! So excited 🙂

  32. I was looking at a documentary on Star Wars the other day and they were talking about how some movies are unable to break the sequel curse. However that didn’t apply to Star Wars and it certainly won’t for the Twilight saga. New Moon does have it’s challenges and based on what we’ve seen so far,Chris Weitz was able to pull it off. The first film did great,but critics dismissed it as a typical teen movie.So for those that hadn’t read the first book,most thought it looked like an episode of Buffy the vampire slayer. This second film will be alot darker than the first and that should make at least some of the critics notice that this isn’t just a story for teens.

    • I think New Moon will be significantly better than Twilight. I think the first movie left out several key issues from the book e.g. Edward’s struggle to stay away from Bella and then struggling to stay with her. They brushed over that so much and it was core to the last half of the book. What we have seen from Chris so far shows us that he will stay truer to the story while translating it properly to the screen e.g. more action with the Volturi.

  33. I bought my tickets yesterday thru Fandango – early show (a.m.) of the 20th. Last year, it was empty at that time for Twilight! I am hoping it is just as empty b/c I got to hear every word w/o screaming.

  34. I don’t know how you can wait till the week lol .. we have a 21 years and older room in our theaters so I’m excited about that because no teens or kids are allowed.

  35. It really is hp vs twilight now, with it coming out in the same year, I;m guessing twilight will get either 2 or 3rd highest grossing film this year?

  36. new moon sorry.

  37. Just got got my tickets! Yay…but now I’m worried that I will not get to enjoy the movie much because of the screaming fans!!LOL!!

  38. Our little theater doesn’t sell tickets ahead of time – you go, stand in line, and buy them. That’s it.

  1. […] Luna en línea, cosa que solo pasa una vez…adivinaron…están agotados. Según LA Times: “Los vendedores de boletos en línea MovieTickets y Fandango reportaron que la continuación del éxito de Summit Entertainment, el cual vendió $191.5 millones en boletos en U.S.A. y Canadá, está agotando las presentaciones más temprano que cualquier otra película a la fecha.” “Luna Nueva” ha vendido hasta agotar 50 funciones de casi 22,000 ofrecidas en Fandango y 13 de las funciones de 2,912 ofrecidas en MovieTickets. La mayoría de las funciones vendidas son alrededor de la media noche del 20 de noviembre, cuando la película estrena. Va a ser interesante ver si Luna Nueva rompe el total establecido por Crepúsculo. Convencionalmente se dice en Hollywood que a las secuelas no les va tan bien como a la original. Ahí otra cosa que he aprendido en los tres años que he cubierto Crepúsculo — olvídate de los convencionalismos, casi nunca han aplicado aquí!. Fuente: Twilightlexicon […]

Yeah that is true.. they could slim everything down but then we'll be missing all of the stuff with the pack and stuff from Jacob's POV. I like the first and third book the best from breaking dawn though. It would definitely be a very long movie. Personally, I would hate to see it be made into two different movies - I would be soo anxious while waiting for the second movie to come out. But who knows what they'll do with this if it becomes a movie. There's so much substance it will be interesting to see what they include. I hope they don't miss the best parts!!!

I hope tthey don't make two movies of it. The first two books in BD are practically about the wedding and Bella being pregnant. The actual plot starts only in the third books, so the first movie would be left really thin.

Renesmee is gonna be sooo hard to do, because baby's just don't function like that.
They'll probably have to get a really young actress to play her, or even CGI :(
I don't know, but that'll be hard!

My mom though that they should use sisters to play Renesmee. Like have one that's a baby for when she's younger then the baby's sister as her as a toddler then just use her. I don't know if that would work, but*shrug*

i don't think a normal toddler would do.
Maybe a normal toddler for the base. and then CGI the rest? because nessie has this lean, adult body as stated in the books.

Postby RebeccaCullen » Sun Dec 07, 2008 4:50 pm

I'm torn on whether it should be one or two movies. The book is too long to make one film, but at the same time I don't think there is enough to make the two films.

The wedding and (part of the) honeymoon need to happen for the movie to make any sense. Most of the first bit of the book can be done as added scenes for the DVD release because it's not essential to the over all plot. The 'before' car can just be made reference to in the movie, and if the scene with J and Max is included, just show the 'after' car as Bella, Nessie and Jacob go to get into the Volvo.

Most of the second book fleshes out Jake's character, but at the same time I can't see how it would be important to the final battle. It does answer some questions, like why Jake's pack are at the Cullen's, but I think a lot of that can be cut (don't hate). The one scene I find really important in Jake's book is the part where Bella goes into labour and Edward goes to change her.

If it is two movies I think it should cut out just as Bella goes into labour, but that would make the first half really borning. It would also mean that there would need to be some sort of reminder of what happened at the start of the second one.

I watched an interview with SM on MTV.com and she said that if they make BD into a movie then it would most likley be two movies.

I would love to see this book in movie form, but I think that there are lots of things in the book that would make it very difficult to make/cast:

First, Reneesme. She is too intelligent of a baby to be played by a human baby/toddler. And I fear CGI since usually these characters end up looking very unrealistic and I feel like this would almost ruin the movie.

Second, Bella as a vampire. I feel like it would be very, very difficult to make Bella look like a vampire and like a Cullen, but I guess that that's why there are professional make-up/costume people out there.

Local musician and one-time Replacements guitarist Slim Dunlap is about to get some much-needed help from his friends. Dunlap suffered a stroke last February and has been recuperating since then.

To help him cover some of his medical bills, his former bandmates Paul Westerberg and Tommy Stinson recorded Dunlap’s song “Busted Up” and three cover tunes with drummer Peter Anderson and guitarist Kevin Bowe.

Replacements drummer Chris Mars contributed a song and designed the artwork that will adorn the five-song EP, “Songs for Slim.”

New West Records, the label that employs former Replacements manager Peter Jesperson as a vice president, has pressed a limited run of 250 vinyl copies of “Songs for Slim” that will be auctioned next week on eBay, with proceeds benefiting Dunlap. A traditional commercial release will follow.

Starting next month, New West also will begin a series of benefit 7-inch singles with such artists as Steve Earle, Lucinda Williams and Craig Finn covering songs from Dunlap’s catalog. For more information, see

First Avenue hosts its “Best New Bands” show, a January tradition, on Friday, Jan. 11. Seven of last year’s brightest newcomers, including hip-hop group the Chalice and singer/songwriter John Mark Nelson, will perform for more than four hours.

DJs from three local radio stations — David Campbell (89.3 The Current), Jason Nagel (Cities 97) and Chase Mathey (Radio K) — will host the evening, which also will include performances by Bomba de Luz, Eleganza, Strange Names, Actual Wolf and Wiping Out Thousands.

The new Minneapolis-based Korda Records label will host a showcase of its four main artists — the Jim Ruiz Set, the Ocean Blue, the Starfolk and Typsy Panthre — on Saturday, Jan. 12, at the 7th St. Entry.

Indie-rock fans of a certain age probably remember Ruiz, who issued a pair of mid-’90s albums on Chicago’s Minty Fresh label, and the Ocean Blue, a Smiths-inspired group that signed to Sire Records in 1989. The Starfolk and Typsy Panthre feature former members of the Hang Ups and the Owls.

As the Ocean Blue’s David Schelzel said: “We have a lot of records among us, on both major and indie labels. We’ve toured extensively, done lots of music videos, films, licensing. We’re at a point now where we want to simplify and do things on a more direct and friendly level.”

All four bands have new albums out, or soon to come, and the label also has issued the “Korda Kompilation” sampler on CD and digital with a pair of cuts from each of the groups.

Finally, the new year is still new, but we already have some summer festival information. Poison’s Bret Michaels and country duo Montgomery Gentry will headline the annual Lakefront Music Fest on July 19 and 20 in Prior Lake’s Lakefront Park. Presented by the Prior Lake Rotary Club and Mystic Lake Casino, the fest also will feature hairspray-metal survivors Warrant and Firehouse as well as “American Idol” vet Casey James. Advance tickets are a mere $20 for both days or $20 per night at the gate. For more information, see

Constantly exploring new ingredients and recipes from around the world, our kitchen is a meeting place of cuisines and traditions in a tapas style.

We cook with love and respect for high quality and seasonal ingredients, sourced from suppliers who share our passion for healthy and sustainable food.

“This Marylebone spot is decidedly on-trend, serving up internationally influenced fare with a flavor “twist”

“Simple, elegant, yet ripe with abundance, oozing fine ingredients and rich possibility – if there’s a menu in Marylebone that fails to inspire us we’ve yet to discover it. All make our mouths water.”

Marylebone Journal

“They aren’t out to disguise or distort natural flavours with such combinations, but the avowed internationalism of Eduardo sings through”

Marylebone Journal

“Combining his Italian background, French experience and fascination with international technique and flavours, chef Eduardo Tuccillo’s cuisine at Twist at Crawford is a fusion like no other”

Four Magazine

“Neapolitan chef/owner Eduardo Tuccillo write an exuberant menu…”

Evening Standard

“Loving the brick walls and handmade industrial lightning. Melt in the mouth steak and fish: a few culinary teasers”

Fran Watkins & George

“Oh my God! What an amazing T-bone steak!”

Bmk Len

“The staff was excellent, explained the menu clearly and offered (very good!) advice on what to chose and how much to order”

“The food was delicious, a twist on tapas incorporating influences from the rest of the med and japan and the cost of the meal was very reasonable”

“Each dish was delicious and our waitress was friendly and helpful. Great atmosphere, would definitely recommend”

Rob J

“All the tapas we had was beautifully fresh, well presented and very tasty….. Overall, highly recommended and we will definitely be going again.”

“We have been in this place at any given occasion, the food is spectacular, a mix of Italian, Spanish, Mediterranean, Peruvian and oriental cuisine. Top quality ingredients, loads of passion that drives the head chef, friendly and attentive service. We have been recommending this place to all our friends and never failed to deliver. Can’t wait to go back!!!”

“Twist never disappoints. Service is still as impeccable and friendly. Head chef always cheery and happy to see his customers. Food is always freshly prepared and like their name, there is always a twist in what you expect as the norm. And they are usually always very good twists! There is always various levels of flavours and textures to each dish with wonderful little pops of surprises.”

Elaine F

First there was the kitchen; “My grandmother’s kitchen in Naples was incredible, she had this enormous dining table where she fed sixteen grandchildren, it was crazy, full of work, full of flavours, full of people. As a kid I didn’t think of it as a kitchen but as a restaurant, I guess it was my first restaurant.” This was the starting point of chef Eduardo’s life-long passion for cooking, and with Twist we wanted to return to that lively, generous space, developing the restaurant around the central idea of an open kitchen – “everyday as a chef you are engaging all the senses and I wanted to create a work-space like my grandmother’s, where this experience would be shared with everyone.”

Then there was the menu; Eduardo was born in Amalfi and his culinary roots are still there, “but professionally I’ve been lucky, travelling and working all over from New York to South Africa. I wanted to develop a menu, which would both reflect that journey and allow me to continue exploring. The tapas style was perfect for this, not only because it’s a really free format, but you are always learning something new, each table’s order is its own unique composition, its own voyage of discovery.”

Finally, and most important, the ingredients; Twist has been built from a foundation of deep respect for the food we cook with daily, our ingredients are sourced from suppliers who share our passion for healthy and sustainable food, and are kept seasonal whenever possible. Our simple cooking style reflects their quality, letting the natural flavours and textures speak for themselves, so that as we explore ever-varying fusion combinations, the beauty of the raw material remains.

Constantly exploring new ingredients and recipes from around the world, our kitchen is a meeting place of cuisines and traditions, and the tapas style enables guests to join in, experimenting with new, often unexpected, combinations of texture and flavour. The menu is changed regularly so that no two visits are necessarily the same, and there are always daily specials celebrating what is fresh and seasonal.

Sunday, September 14, 2008

8 years today. Happy Anniversary, babe. Marc and I got married in Utah on a Thursday night and then drove to California (I was moving to California!) the day after (Friday). On Saturday night we had another reception in California -- so I got to wear my dress twice! I was so happy about that. On Sunday we had a huge family day at Disneyland and then on Monday we finally left for our honeymoon. Here are a few things I'll always remember about that crazy weekend:

- walking down the aisle (aka side of the mountain) barefoot because I was afraid I was going to fall in my heels (which I so would have!)

- my new brother in law passing out as soon as the ceremony was over because he was so hot in his tux

- taking pictures and the photographer almost falling into the river

- lots of fun dancing and good songs (my father in law lip syncing to N'Sync's Bye Bye Bye is particularily memorable!)

- the cute speech Marc gave

- Marc and his friends' John Travolta dancing that he now regrets because he is requested to do it at EVERY wedding reception now

- all the good friends and family that came from far away to see us

- all the good food at our reception at Log Haven (bloody beef! - LOL!), none of which we got to eat! We stopped for fast food on the way out

- the drive to California with our cars packed full of my stuff and wedding presents

- seeing our new apartment in California for the first time - Marc picked it out all himself. That was a little nerve racking!

- all the delicious food at the California reception - we were smart and actually ATE at that one!

- having another great DJ and fun dancing at the 2nd reception -- our family likes to DANCE!

But the BEST thing about our wedding (or scariest?!):

You know the tradition that you save the top of your wedding cake to eat on your 1st anniversary? Well, we wanted to do that so we had our cake all boxed up and wrapped. It made the move with us to California to our first apartment, then a few months later to our 2nd apartment. Our 1st anniversary was September 14th, 2001, just a few days after 9/11. We kind of forgot about the cake and just left it in our freezer. A few weeks later we saw it and just thought "oh, well, we'll save it for our 2nd anniversary". 2nd anniversary comes and goes, so does 3rd, 4th, 5th ...

Guess what is STILL sitting in the SAME box in our freezer downstairs!? Yup, the top tier of our wedding cake. At this point I'm a little scared to open it and see what's inside. It's now made 5 moves with us, been from Utah, to California, and back to Utah, been in numerous freezers, probably been thawed/refrozen a number of times .. but it still sits in the corner of our freezer in it's little aluminum-foil wrapped box. Every so often (mostly during moves or freezer clean-outs) we consider throwing it away or opening it up to look at it .. but we just can't bring ourselves to. It's kind of a fun little thing that we have going and neither of us wants to break the tradition. So maybe for our 10th? Or 25th? We shall see!

  1. Happy Anniversary Singletons. Hope you have/had a great day!

    PLEASE open the box. I want to hear what the cake looks like. Hey, I bet Mason or Newton will eat it.

  2. Happy Anniversary.

    This is unrelated, but I grew a TON of jalapenos. You can have some if you like. Let me know.

  4. Hey Erin!
    Happy Anniversary! Love the pic. I can't believe it's been 8 yrs!!! WOW!

    That's my deleted comment. I was just trying to get Joel's user name off of it ("jmc...") and put my user name on it. all well. beautiful dress!!

  5. Congratulations! Me and my wife are blowing out two candles in exactly two months!

  6. Oh, happy anniversary! This is such a fantastic post - what wonderful memories!

    My brother and his wife had their cake topper recreated by the baker - they only took one bite of the frozen one for tradition's sake!

  7. yeah we forgot about our cake (or were too busy moving here and there) until anniversary #6 or so....but it was still good, even after many freezer changes!

    happy Anniversary!

  8. Happy Anniversary. Small world, my hubby and I celebrate 8 years on Sept 16th!

  9. We did the same thing with the cake and just finally threw it away a couple of years ago without eating it we were scared also. Doesn't 8 years seem like forever, yet it got here so fast?

  10. This comment has been removed by the author.

  11. Happy Anniversary!

    We have the same one btw. ha ha Except mine was 2002. So only 6 years for me and the hub.

  12. Happy Anniversary....

    I'd wait 2 more years...and try the cake at your 10th Anniversary!! :)

  13. What a gorgeous couple!! Happy Anniversary!
    It was fun to have lunch - we need to do that more often :)

  14. That photo is just lovely! Happy Anniversary!

    And I don't think you should ever open that cake. At this rate it may turn into another species ;)

  15. Happy Anniversary! Great memories :)

  16. Happy anniversary!! I can't believe it...where does time go??
    We saved our cake and tried to eat part of it on some random date about 2 years after...and it was soooooo gross!! I would say keep it as long as you long as stuff isn't growing from it or on it!!:)

  17. I remember your wedding in the mountains. It was so beautiful. A few years back I went go up that canyon to attend Cub Scout camp (three years in a row) and I always am reminded of that beautiful day you two had together. Congratulations!!

  18. Wow! Happy Anniversary! What a cute couple you are! We need to get together some time.

Creamy milky cm

Anyone else experience creamy milky cm before their bfp? I never have this kind of cm...ever. it started at about 3 dpo and its been daily since increasing in amount.

I'm 10 dpo today and af isn't expected until next Sunday.

Of course I tested and bfn today. I experienced some mild cramping at 7 dpo in the morning so if that was implantation it wouldn't show up on a test until at least this Thurs right?  with my other two children I never noticed any implantation spotting or anything like that but that was 5 and 3 years ago.

Other symptoms: nauseous on and off for hours at a time. Bbs hurt on and off especially on the fronts.

Its possible you could be pregnant. I remember having more creamy cm with my first...especially later on and throughout pregnancy. The best indication of pregnancy for me was a mild crampy feeling and sore boobs starting about a week before af was due. I got a positive a few days before missed period. Its probably a little too early for don't lose hope. Try again in a few days. Good Luck !

I have been having the same symptoms! Af is due Wednesday for me, but I haven't tested yet. I'm trying to wait until Wednesday! Praying for a bfp!

I'm due for AF late Wednesday. I'm having almost all symptoms of preg, all neg tests so far, fingers crossed

Hi i got my bfp on oct 11th i had creamy cm alot before bfp. Also had severe pain in one side. Hope you get bfp too xx

I have creamy cm everyday

I got my BFP on 10/9 (10 dpo) and I had creamy cm leading up to it. Actually I still have the creamy cm.

Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry license new polymer

By Marc Speir
University News Service
October 25, 2007

If you looked up No. 6,172,181 in the U.S. Patent Office, you’d find a product named 2,3,4,5,6-pentafluorobenzoyl diphenyl ether compound and fluorine-containing aryl ether ketone polymer.

While the name is quite a mouthful, the fluorinated polymer, one that has the extraordinary ability to withstand intense temperatures, is the brainchild of the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at Texas State University-San Marcos.

During a trip to present research papers at Japanese universities in 1996 by retired distinguished professor emeritus John Fitch and current professor Patrick Cassidy, the pair was approached by Nippon Shokubai, a maker of chemicals with offices in Tokyo and Osaka.

The company was looking for a new product, one that could insulate and protect other materials from extreme heat. The organization gave a grant to Fitch, Cassidy, Kunio Kimura, Yuhiko Yamashita, and Reddy Venumbaka, the current director of the Institute for Environmental and Industrial Science at Texas State.

The product took two years to create, resulting in a new plastic polymer and a patent issued Jan. 9, 2001. More than six years later, the licensing agreement is paying dividends for the company, the researchers and the university.

“This is the first purchase in what we hope will create more interest in the polymer,” said Cassidy, a professor in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry. “It’s great to see the department hit a home run like this.”

Companies are expected to license the innovative polymer for a variety of purposes.

The material can be used as a film or coating for silicon wafers, optical devices, microelectronics, medical equipment, military armory, satellites and space shuttles.

Cassidy compares the polymer to Teflon, a fluoropolymer that is famous for creating non-stick cookware and keeps stains off carpet and clothing.

Similar fluoropolymers are used by NASA, 3M Company and cosmetics company Estee Lauder.

“This is particularly beneficial for anything that needs thermal stability,” said Cassidy. “The one big difference is that our product is easier to process than Teflon, it’s more soluble.”

The inventors will receive $2,000 each and 0.25 percent of annual net sales as a royalty. Texas State will also see 0.25 percent of the annual net sales from the sale of the polymer.

“The real reward is the recognition for our program,” said Cassidy. “We’ll see where it goes from here.”

The department expects more technology transfers as Texas State is solicited for additional research and industry-related endeavors.

“We’re getting more aggressive in finding companies to help with technology transfers,” Cassidy said. “It’s a very exciting time to be at Texas State.”

Covered event:
Tourist Board of Rovinj Rovigno

Easter weekend in Rovinj attracts over 5,000 visitors

As every Easter, the town’s tourist board prepared a rich and diverse program for everyone enjoying the Easter celebration in Rovinj. The two-day “Easter in Rovinj” event hit the mark, for as many as 5,255 guests arrived, once again proving that Rovinj is the top tourist destination in Croatia. Nearly one third of visitors came from Italy, followed by guests from Germany, Austria, Croatia and Slovenia.

However, as passion for music, travel and good food is a universal language, this Easter weekend Rovinj’s streets and town were brimming with excitement and positivity shared by everyone. The Easter breakfast included as many as 2,000 servings of sweet and salty delicacies, such as ham, homemade bread, spring onions and hard-boiled eggs and, of course, sweet fritters, angel wings, peach-shaped cookies and Easter bread. Delicious holiday breakfast was served on a lovely and sunny Easter morning and accompanied by performances by numerous local artists and guest performers. Sunday breakfast was preceded by a display by Rovinj Majorettes and the Rovinj Brass Band and a performance by the Stand by duo. The great finale of the Easter celebration was the Music (K)nights evening concert.

The celebration of Easter started on Saturday with festive performances by the Davor and Gracijano Terzić duo and members of the Roxanne Gymnastics Club. Young gymnasts have demonstrated not only their dance and acrobatic skills, but also their artistic gift, as they have decorated Easter eggs and made roses during the morning street workshop they later offered guests as souvenirs. The first day of the Easter weekend was marked by another excellent performance by the "Eligio and Boris" duo and the celebratory atmosphere was even greater owing to the savoury specialties of Blue and Green Istria prepared by members of the House of the Batana Association.

Faculty and Staff Information

I have flu symptoms — should I come to work?

No. You should stay at home and not come to work until you are completely better, as it may spread among your co-workers and students. You should not return to work until your fever has been gone for 24 hours without the use of fever-reducing medication.

You should promptly report your illness to your supervisor or department head and also to the Faculty and Staff Clinic by phone at (256) 824-2100 or by email.

I have been diagnosed as being infected with an Influenza virus — what should I do?

Follow medical advice and call your supervisor or department head as soon as possible to allow prompt assessment of others with whom you have been in close contact at the University. You should also notify the Faculty and Staff Clinic by phone at (256) 824-2100 or by email.

I am planning to visit an area with a high incidence of flu on official University business — what should I do?

All travel (whether domestic or international) should follow normal travel procedures. It is always important to be aware of major health concerns and any travel restrictions in foreign countries you may be planning to visit.

If you have any underlying health issues, are currently not well, or are pregnant, you may be considered at greater risk and should consult your family doctor for advice on whether travel is appropriate at this time.

If I am sent home, or stay home from work due to illness, how will I be paid?

The following options are available although not all options will be available in all situations depending upon the nature of the job responsibilities and the extent of the illness:

  • Use accrued leave; for example, Sick, Annual, or Personal.
  • Make up the work on an hour–for–hour basis during the same workweek (requires your supervisor's approval). The University's workweek begins at 12:00 a.m. on Wednesday and ends at 11:59 p.m. on the following Tuesday.
  • Administrative leave is not permitted.

I have an employee who is ill with flu–like symptoms and has come to work. I'm concerned about the potential for exposure to other people. Can I send this employee home?

Yes. The decision to send an employee home who is exhibiting symptoms of a communicable disease is to be made on a case–by–case basis in consultation with Human Resources. Of greatest concern is an employee with a fever greater than 100 degrees Fahrenheit and a cough; this employee should be sent home. Other symptoms (coughing, sneezing) may also be of concern. Consult the Faculty and Staff Clinic if you have questions about symptoms.

In addition, advise employees of the basic preventative measures (practice good hygiene, including frequent hand washing, covering your nose and mouth with a tissue or with your sleeve if you cough or sneeze, and avoiding touching your eyes, nose or mouth with your hands) and post flu informational flyers throughout your work areas. Links to flyers can be found on the Resources page.

Student Absences

Can I ask a student to leave class if they appear to be sick?

No. A student cannot be removed from class after arriving ill, but you can encourage them to go home, take care of themselves, and return 24 hours after their fever is gone without the use of fever-reducing medication.

Faculty should notify their department head and the Student Health Center if they observe a student who is ill and still attending class.

What changes can I make to my course structure to minimize the impact of the widespread absences that are predicted this fall?

Instructors should try to place as much course content as possible, including assignments and lecture outlines, on Canvas or their class website. The intent is to encourage sick students to stay home but at the same time allow them to stay current with assignments when possible.

My class has a mandatory attendance policy — What happens if a student misses class because of the flu?

Mandatory class attendance policies should be examined on a case–by–case basis. Instructors granting an exception for flu-related absences may opt to require a doctor's excuse. Students will be required to make up all missed course work.

Students should be reminded that they are bound by the UAHuntsville Student Code of Conduct (Chapter 7 of the Student Handbook). Providing false or misleading information regarding an absence may be grounds for disciplinary action.

A Note on the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA)

If UAHuntsville determines that there is an articulable and significant threat to the health and safety of a student or other individuals, it may disclose information from education records to appropriate parties whose knowledge of the information is necessary to protect the health and safety of the student or other individuals. As a faculty member, you should know that observations of a student's behavior are not protected by FERPA. For example, if you see a student who exhibits symptoms of influenza-like illness (ILI) and is still attending class, you may contact "appropriate personnel" for guidance on what to do, and you may also share the information with others who have a legitimate reason to know. In this situation, appropriate personnel would include a nurse at the Student Health Center, the department chair, the Dean of Students, or a member of the University's Communicable Disease Management Team (CDMT). Names of ill students should never be released to the media, parents of other students, members of the general public, etc. Only designated University officials should contact parents or other relatives of students. Only the University's Public Information Officer (Ray Garner) or his designee should release information to the media.

Foldaway Massage Chair

Times are still hard even though the cloud of recession seems to be moving on, which means you still need to put in all the extra hours in order to render yourself relevant to the company. Well, all that stress could turn you into a nervous wreck, which is why the Foldaway Massage Chair offers an invigorating leg and foot massage without taking up too much space at the office. This massage is made possible thanks to finger-like nodes which provide a deep-penetrating acupressure massage on the toes, arches and soles of the feet. Air cells in the seat will expand and contract to soothe pressure points in the lower back and buttocks, all the while offering gentle stretching of the hips and waist. There is a quartet of 15 minute massage programs for the chair to choose from, but you will need to fork out $800 for this first.

arm-maliAt ARM TechCon conference in Silicon Valley, ARM has announced its new T700 series of graphics processor (GPU) which is set to be its fastest to date for high-end smartphones, with the T760 spearheading the line-up. ARM also talked about a T720 model that is aimed for mid-range/low-end devices and reminds that MediaTek, LG and Rockchip have already signed up, just to cite a few. You can expect many variants of these GPUs to show up, depending of the customer requirements in terms of number of cores, and frequency. Unfortunately, the number of cores alone is only useful when comparing GPUs from the same vendor since each chipmaker can have a different definition (if not “exotic”) for what a “core” is. The ARM Mali-T760 is compatible with OpenGL 3.0, OpenCL and RenderScript.

While we have yet to run any benchmarks, this promises to provide excellent performance (well, that is a new GPU after all!). That’s not too hard to guess, since graphics performance tends to go up almost linearly with more cores, but the more interesting part comes from ARM’s claim that the T760 is 400% more power-efficient than the older Mali-T640. In general this means that the new chip can drive many times the performance in the same power budget. Although this is a natural evolution for chips, it gives you an idea as for how fast graphics performance is rising even within a very strict power envelope.

That said, a lot of power-savings also come from architectural and algorithmic optimizations aimed at conserving bandwidth (remember that bandwidth costs a lot of power). That includes techniques like frame buffer compression (FBC), or avoiding refreshing elements that did not change (ARM calls this “Smart Composition”). On PC, graphics chip already use similar techniques, but mainly focused towards pure performance (Early Z out, Z-compression, frame buffer compression). On mobiles, the game is different because GPU vendors need to bias towards battery life rather than FPS.

The efforts seem to pay off for ARM: the company has announced that its Mali GPU shipments have increased by 10X just over the past two years, and it looks like ARM’s ride on the smartphone and tablet explosion is far from over. From the arrival of 4K, higher resolution displays and more demanding apps and games, the upgrade cycle for mobile will keep going strong.

UDC Students Take Top Prize in Regional Business Plan Competition

Click here to download release.

Washington, D.C. – A trio of students from the University of the District of Columbia's School of Business and Public Administration has been selected as the winning team in the 2nd Annual Mid-Atlantic Region 2014 Business Plan Competition: Innovations to Social and Economic Entrepreneurship, held at the Van Ness Campus on Saturday, April 5th.  The successful business plan was chosen from among several proposals presented  by students from five regional universities, and garnered the UDC team a $5,000 cash prize awarded by Washington Gas and Light Holdings, Inc.  Other participating schools included American University, Delaware State University, Morgan State University, and Salisbury University.

According to the School of Business and Public Administration's Interim Dean Sandra Yates, the purpose of the Innovations in Social and Business Entrepreneurship Business Plan Competition is to provide an experiential opportunity to showcase the creativity of tomorrow's business leaders.  She says the competition allows students to design and develop business concepts that have the potential to bring social change and economic development to their local community.

"This model of entrepreneurship emphasizes the 3P concept of profit, people and planet – otherwise known as the triple bottom line," she says. "Here, profit refers to creating a value that is financially viable and sustainable, while the concept of people supports fair and beneficial practices toward labor and the community. " She adds that "planet" simply means that the business must also adopt sustainable environmental practices.
UDC's winning team consists of business students, Giresse Pembele, Donna-Marie Thompson and Tamon George, whose innovative plan creates a website to link students with small businesses that need new insights and creative concepts to remain competitive.  Team leader, Tamon George says it's a viable business plan that supports positive outcomes for students and ensures profitability for small businesses.

"Our concept provides business entrepreneurs a level of in-house creativity and expertise that they don't already have," he says proudly.  "Conversely, it gives students who are studying business concepts the opportunity to combine theoretical knowledge with practical applications so that they're better equipped for success when entering the workforce."

George says the judges were impressed with the team's crisp presentation and comprehensive level of project research. He described their winning effort as a "warm-up" for a larger competition this week in Atlanta, GA, when the team participates in the Innovation and Entrepreneurship Business Plan Competition for students enrolled in MBA programs at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs).
Sponsored by the Thurgood Marshall Fund, Saturday's competition includes students from 20 HBCUs with a top cash prize of $15,000.  George says the program will be attended by "angel" investors and venture capitalists with a possible interest in financing innovative business concepts.

"We'll be pitching our business plan just like the people on 'Shark Tank,'" he says.  "With any luck, our website could be the next big thing," he beams.

Turkey round-up: Fenerbahçe close gap at top

Turkey round-up: Fenerbahçe close gap at top

Fenerbahçe SK moved into second place in the Turkish 1. Lig with a 1-0 win at Antalyaspor.

Fenerbahçe SK moved into second place and a UEFA Champions league qualifying spot behind Galatasaray SK in the Turkish 1. Lig with a 1-0 victory away at Antalyaspor on Sunday courtesy of a 72nd-minute strike from Oktay Derelioglu.

Early chances
Antalyaspor had the better of the early exchanges with Mustafa Gursel causing the Fenerbahçe defence countless problems. His promptings created a chance for Ugur Yasan who forced a good save from Rüstü Reçber in the Fenerbahçe goal after 13 minutes.

Kingston on hand
The visitors fashioned their best chance of the first half on the half hour when Abdullah Ercan's pass found Derelioglu who unleashed a fierce shot from the edge of the area but Richard Kingston, the Antalyaspor goalkeeper, was equal to the task. Fenerbahçe continued to force their way into the game and Kingston was called upon to make a series of stops in the dying minutes of the half.

Chances go begging
In the second period both sides had chances to break the deadlock but Fenerbahçe came closest after 65 minutes when Abdullah Ercan’s cross was deflected to Yusuf Simsek who shot wide.

Derelioglu breaks deadlock
Seven minutes later the goal finally came for the visitors. Fatih Akyel crossed from the right and Serhat Akin's header rebounded off the post but Derelioglu pounced on the loose ball to fire it into the net. After that it was all Fenerbahçe and three minutes before full time a second effort from Derelioglu was ruled out for offside.

Cihan at the double
Elsewhere in 1. Lig, Denizlispor eased their relegation worries with a 2-1 home win over Göztepe thanks to two goals from Veysel Cihan. The opening goal came two minutes before half-time when a header from Fernand Coulibaly at a corner rebounded off the goalkeeper Bora Kork and fell to Cihan to score from close range.

Headed winner
Five minutes into the second half Göztepe equalised as Mustafa Ozkan swooped to head home a Mehmet Onur cross. Denizlispor's winner came 18 minutes later, Cihan heading Muzaffer Bilazer's cross past the helpless Kork.

Bursaspor take spoils
Fifth-placed Bursaspor, who now occupy a UEFA Cup qualifying position, took the lead twice as they beat Kocaelispor 2-1 away with all three goals coming in the second half. After 62 minutes John Lesiba Mosheou's free-kick found Sauleyman Fatih Sen and his powerful shot flew in for the opener. Kocaelispor were level just six minutes later, however, when Claudemir Vitor’s cross from right picked out Kwame Ayew who headed it on to Serdar Topraktepe who header home.

Drilled winner
Bursaspor secured the points 12 minutes from time as Okan Yilmaz drilled his shot through a crowded penalty area and into the net for the winner.

Score draw
Malatyaspor and Gaziantepspor played out a 1-1 draw in the weekend's other match. Malatyaspor broke the deadlock on the hour through Josh Carlos Santa Da Silva. Selguk Yildirimkaya's pass found Artim Shakiri and he picked out Carlos who beat Gaziantepspor keeper Fevzi Tuncay to his right. On 72 minutes the visitors equalised, Erdal Günes' cross into the area from the right found Maxim Romaschenko who volleyed home.

Einhorn Defense To Invoke Paranormal

Subject: Einhorn Defense To Invoke Paranormal

Source: The Philadelphia Inquirer

Posted on Wed, Oct. 09, 2002	Einhorn defense to invoke
paranormal Inside By Jennifer Lin Inquirer Staff Writer

One courtroom wag at the Ira Einhorn murder trial dubbed it the
X-Files defense.

And as a legal tack, it's a doozy.

With the trial shifting to the defense today, Einhorn will argue
that he was framed for the beating death of Holly Maddux because
he knew too much about secret mind-control weapons. Einhorn has
maintained that unknown persons put a trunk with Maddux's
mummified body in his closet, resulting in his arrest in 1979.

"He thinks he stepped on toes in doing this mind-control
research and paranormal, psychological research," said William
Cannon, Einhorn's lawyer.

"But he's going to have to sell that to the jury," Cannon said
yesterday. "He absolutely has to be able to give to the jury the
possibility that people wanted to embarrass him and put him in a
predicament where he would basically be out of the way.

"If he can't do that," Cannon added, "he has no hope for an
acquittal, because the body in the trunk is too overwhelming as
a piece of circumstantial evidence."

In a nine-page, handwritten essay that Einhorn wrote last month
- titled "A Snapshot of My 70s" - he gives a preview of what's
to come when he takes the witness stand, possibly as soon as

He painted himself as "a social change agent, consultant,
futurist and learner" who was on the verge of greatness when he
was arrested.

"I was busted for a murder I did not commit and all my work on
mind control and free energy became history," Einhorn wrote from
his cell.

In the essay, which was circulated via e-mail to supporters and
the media before the Common Pleas Court trial, Einhorn dropped
more names than a gossip columnist - from City Councilman W.
Thacher Longstreth to futurist Alvin Toffler and a mysterious
"Prince of Iran."

He portrayed himself as a peripatetic '70s activist, involved in
the antiwar movement and black empowerment, as well as
investigating the CIA and the heroin trade, UFOs, and President
John F. Kennedy's assassination.

But he explained how his trouble began with his exploration into
"psychotronic mind-control weaponry." So-called psychotronic
weapons, popular in science fiction, allegedly harness
telepathic power and radio waves to control and influence people
from afar.

George Smith, a technology writer in Pasadena, Calif., who edits
the online Crypt Newsletter, said these weapons simply do not

Smith, who focuses on issues involving national security and
technology, said psychotronic weaponry was a pop subject during
the Cold War era that gave way in the 1990s to talk of
"electromagnetic pulse guns."

With both, Smith said, no one has been able to take talk and
theories and construct actual weapons, subject to scientific

"You never see any examples of any devices that can do the kinds
of things that are described," Smith said. "It's the domain of
charlatans and the gullible."

He added that in the '60s and '70s, military and intelligence
agencies did fund research on such paranormal topics as
telepathy, but those projects went nowhere. "The evidence is
that the FBI and CIA can't get inside everyone's head and don't
have psychotronic powers," Smith said.

"Psychotronic? Never heard of it," said Lt. Col. Jimmy Wyrick,
executive officer of the U.S. Army Research Institute for
Behavioral and Social Sciences in Washington. "Sounds kind of

At the Washington office of the publisher of Jane's Defence
Weekly, a magazine about military news and weaponry, editors
opted to steer clear.

"We do not have any information on this topic, or any editors
who could verify whether such weaponry exists," said Melissa
Golding, a Jane's spokeswoman.

Einhorn, however, said he believed his life was in danger
because of his mind-control research. He said he received
reports from inside the Soviet Union about mind-control devices
"so chilling that I only shared some of the content, not the
actual reports, with two people."

Einhorn also wrote that he had enlisted the former president of
the Franklin Institute, Bowen Dees, to work with him on a
conference in honor of Nikola Tesla, an inventor and electrical
engineer. Einhorn claimed that Tesla worked on mind-control and
free-energy devices that created energy without using fuel.

Dees, now retired in Southern California, was surprised to learn
of his mention in Einhorn's statement.

"Ira was an interesting character," said Dees, who headed the
institute from 1970 to 1982. "But my interaction with him was

Einhorn wrote that in the '70s, he also got involved in the
"Geller project," a reference to Uri Geller, the spoon-bending
psychic. Einhorn said that through this work, he became
convinced of the possibility of "free energy devices... that
would solve our energy problem."

"Unfortunately, all new technology can be used as weaponry as
well as for human benefit," Einhorn wrote. "I was soon up to my
ears in a multi-pronged intelligence game that is still waiting
to be unravelled."

Classification: Junior
Graduation Year: 2015
College: Cullen College of Engineering
Major: Chemical Engineering
High School: Plano Senior High School
Hometown: Plano, TX

About Me

I’m a fun-loving, silly, and energetic person who is enjoying college life here at UH. I firmly believe that you get back what you put in to your endeavors, so I’m doing my best to stay on top of my coursework and also to get involved in events on campus. The football games are super fun to watch, there’s always something to do, and there’s free food everywhere!

I like listening to music, playing video games, exercising, and reading health articles. Linguistics fascinates me, and I’d like to someday be fluent in at least 3 languages. I have a knack for remembering random facts, I’m always munching on something, and I’m a beast at Dance Dance Revolution!

Campus and Community Involvement

My favorite sport is basketball and I try to play when I can. Recently I’ve gotten into rock climbing and I attend the latin social dance class at the recreation center; it’s a great place for finding new interests!

Right now on campus I’m a member of the Chinese/American Language & Culture Organization and a member of American Institute of Chemical Engineers. In addition I’m a founding member and Historian of Eta Epsilon Rho, the student-run organization for the Honors Engineering Program.

I did community service as a part of National Honor Society in high school. I was a Co-President of Delta Epsilon Phi, our local chapter of the National German Honor Society. I was also Captain of the Varsity Pass Auf (German Whiz Quiz) team.

Awards and Honors

In addition to being a Tier One Scholar I am also a proud Honors College student here at UH!
In high school I consistently placed in individual and group academic events at the Texas State German Contest. Additionally, I placed in the top 85th percentile on the Level 3 National German Exam in 11th grade and the Level 4 National German Exam in 12th grade.

Last year I was designated as a National Merit Commended Student.

Band was a major part of my high school life. I was a part of the Region 25 All Region Concert Band in 9th grade and 12th grade. Additionally, our school band received 1 ratings at UIL competitions and other music festivals.

Study Abroad

I took 3 years of German in high school and I’m currently taking Chinese to try to regain fluency. I think either going to a German speaking country or an Asian country would be a fascinating experience because I’m highly interested in the culture, lifestyle, and food!

I’m hoping to start research this upcoming summer. I think anything pertaining to my major or any of the life sciences would be really fascinating as a research project!

Future Endeavors

Right now I’m caught between going straight into the workforce after college and going to graduate school. It’s an area in which I hope to have more clarity in the next few years.

The Men’s Project

What does it mean to be a man?

It’s a question that has been on Jordan Hale’s mind for years. As a kid, he didn’t have many male role models – the people who made a positive impact on his life were mostly women, as most of his close friends are now.

“I’ve always been fascinated with masculinity and what being a man means,” said Hale, a senior political science and communications major. “Unfortunately, I’ve seen that answered in some negative ways.”

Hale is a standup comedian. He has listened to joke after joke where gender is a punch line. In workshops, he’s watched female comedians endure critiques that seemed to him unnecessarily harsh and overly analytical.

“I’ve found that if there’s one place where misogyny runs rampant, it’s comedy,” Hale said. “People can say the most horrible things about women when they disguise it as a joke.”

He doesn’t know if this kind of masculinity is becoming more common, or just more visible, but he wants to be part of making the comedy world – and the UNC campus – a place of equality.

He joined the UNC Men’s Project, a new campus program that brings together male Carolina students to explore and promote healthy masculinity and use those skills to help prevent interpersonal violence. A group of 22 students will meet two hours a week for 12 weeks examining how dominant views of masculinity can be harmful to all genders.

“When you hear words like ‘privilege,’ it’s easy to retreat or feel attacked, but it’s helpful to really learn what that means,” Hale said. “The goal isn’t making men feel bad about who they are. It’s to show how they can make a positive impact.”

Challenging popular perspective

“Very few men live up to the standards set by masculinity – strong and stoic, wealthy, athletic and popular with women,” said Bob Pleasants, the project’s creator.

Many drivers of masculinity also surround things like aggression, power and strength, he said.

“Gender roles don’t automatically equal aggression, but it’s part of the story. Some of the gender dynamics that are created by limited and prescribed gender roles can encourage men to step over the line into negative and violent behaviors,” Pleasants explained.

As Carolina’s interpersonal violence prevention coordinator, with teaching appointments in the Gillings School of Global Public Health and the Department of Women’s and Gender Studies, he had thought for years about a program where men address masculinity. A grant from Verizon helped him make it happen.

The applicant pool for the project exceeded his expectations, showing that men on campus are already aware of – and interested in – the issue. The chosen cohort – who come from diverse backgrounds, races and social spheres, including the Greek system – were eager, enthusiastic and committed.

Each week Pleasants and members of the arts-education organization Sacrificial Poets lead the men through interactive lessons, writing exercises and discussions to look at how dominant views of masculinity are unhelpful to all genders.

“There are so few opportunities for men to have conversations about this. Men benefit, as a group, from these kinds of views, but individually, it can lead to a lot of struggle,” Pleasants said. Pressure to perform and act a certain way, and to live up to what they think a man should be, can keep them from being authentic and happy, he explained.

At a recent meeting, the group was asked to participate in an activity which involved trusting other members of the group to catch them. Hale said usually men are taught the only way they physically interact – even jokingly – is with their fists, or in feigned combat.

“It’s no big secret that men aren’t taught to talk things out, or to have discussions. We’re taught to fight or argue – the one who wins is the one who was strongest, or has the loudest voice,” Hale said. “Changing that view can prevent future incidents of violence.”
