The Oscar Quest: Best Actor – 1947
1947 is so boring. There's nothing interesting about it. The nominees were just so weak. Sure, Gentleman's Agreement was a solid Best Picture choice, but the field was so weak. Elia Kazan won Best Director for the film (talked about here) and Celeste Holm won Best Supporting Actress for it (talked about here), both of which were great decisions.
Best Actress this year was Loretta Young for The Farmer's Daughter (talked about here), which is one of the worst Best Actress decisions of all time. Rosalind Russell was so horribly snubbed here it's ridiculous. Awful, awful decision. And Best Supporting Actor was Edmund Gwenn for Miracle on 34th Street (talked about here), which — he played Santa Claus. End of story.
And then we have this category, which is career achievement Oscar, and one that actually works out, because the category wasn't that strong, and the performance reads very well (as one that would win an Oscar) even though the actual performance is a bit overdone. So it's actually not that bad.
BEST ACTOR – 1947
And the nominees were…
Ronald Colman, A Double Life
John Garfield, Body and Soul
Gregory Peck, Gentleman's Agreement
William Powell, Life with Father
Michael Redgrave, Mourning Becomes Electra
Colman — A Double Life is about an actor who tends to let his roles get to him (one of those actors who loses himself in the role). And he's now taking on Othello, and everyone around him is worried about what it'll do to him. And over the course of the film, he starts having these blackouts where he can't remember what happened, and it gets to the point where he remembers things that he's not sure if he did or not (like killing a woman). And the whole thing culminates with him, on stage, actually stabbing himself. It's a fascinating story.
As for the actual film — I felt it was a bit histrionic for my tastes. A bit too subjective — lots of spinny camera, soft focus, and musical swells. And Colman is way too over the top, I felt. This is a performance that should have, hands down won this award without question. You read the description of the role, and you're like, "easy Oscar," but, when you see (or at least, when I saw) the film, it actually made me question whether I'd vote for him. It's not that the performance was bad, it's just — I was expecting one thing, and got something way, way more theatrical. And it let me down. That's all. Colman is a dude who was gonna get an Oscar, so it's not like he shouldn't have won. It's just, I might not vote for him.
Garfield — Body and Soul is John Garfield's only lead acting nomination. It's a boxing noir. You know about those. They're all pretty much the same. Fighter, trying to make money for ma and pa, pa dies tragically, he goes on, hungry, starts working up the ranks, gets involved with some shady mobsters, falls in love with a girl, the mobsters eventually tell him to take a dive, he doesn't want to, it causes marital strife, and he needs to decide between redemption or not. Very standard story.
Now, the film, despite the fact that you've seen it a dozen times, works. It's very good. The reasons for this are the cinematography (James Wong Howe did some of the most innovative fight choreography with this one. He was in the ring on roller skates. This was a major influence on the fight scenes of Raging Bull) and Garfield's performance. He's strong here. I didn't feel the performance was good enough to win, but I like the nomination. It's nice to see him get some love. (Because the industry would kill him four years after this — they blacklisted him, and caused him so much worry he stressed himself into a major coronary. Really terrible stuff.) But I can't vote for him. Colman and Peck were better choices.
Peck — Gentleman's Agreement is a film about anti-Semitism. Peck is a reporter who goes undercover as a Jew to test just how deep anti-Semitism in America runs. And he discovers some wild shit. He experiences it first hand, and it almost ruins his life. It's a pretty powerful film. Really great.
Peck is amazing here, as he often is. And he was actually good enough to win. The vote's gonna come down to him and Colman,
Powell — Life with Father is a comic story (kind of like an O. Henry or something) about a father trying to deal with his family. Powell is the father, and he's strict and likes his things a particular way, and most of the family deals with it. And the film is mainly episodic, little episodes that are remembered from childhood. It's almost like A Christmas Story, but if it weren't quite done correctly. You know? It just feels slow and not funny. One of those films that's just — flat. It's weird. I tried to like it, but I just couldn't. It's just — there. The pieces were there, but — nothing.
Powell is fine, but, it's not win material. His best chances to win were in the 30s (where he should have won, but didn't). He feels out of place here. I love him, but, I can't vote for him (and I wanted to vote for him).
Redgrave — Mourning Becomes Electra is a long ass film version of the long ass play. And it's pretty great. I thought I'd hate it, but I was engaged for most of the almost three hours of this film. I'm not gonna summarize the plot, because it's long and — who cares?
Just know that Michael Redgrave and Rosalind Russell are tremendous in this film. The performance that Michael Redgrave gives alongside Russell — if he were a bigger star and gave the same performance, he would have won this. Or, at least, he would have had a Rosalind Russell type deal where he should have won and was fucked over by the Academy going with a lighter performance. He's really good here. It's just that he's not well-know. And for me, that hurts a person. Because I could vote for an unknown with a great performance, or vote for Gregory Peck with a great performance. Of course I'm gonna take Peck (unless I really loved the performance, which I didn't. It's great, but it didn't need to win). That's just how it is. So Redgrave is a third choice here. Good, but I can't vote for him.
My Thoughts: Tough category. It's pretty weak. I love John Garfield and William Powell, but they just weren't good enough to vote for here. Redgrave might have been, but he's not really well enough known, and it's the kind of performance I'd only vote for if I absolutely had to. And I don't have to. So I'm not voting for it.
So that leaves Colman and Peck. Colman should be an easy winner here. The role is fantastic. But he overacts the performance so much that he really screws himself out of an easy vote from me. It's not so bad, because he won, and he probably deserved to win, but his overacting really leaves me to vote for Peck, who actually was also good enough to win. So it's not like I'm sacrificing performance or anything. It's just — I really want to be on board with the Colman win, and I am (as an end result), but I can't be (in terms of voting for it). So it's Peck for me.
My Vote: Peck
Should Have Won: Peck, Colman (in his own way)
Is the result acceptable?: Yes. It's him or Peck, and Peck won his later on, so this is okay, in the grand scheme of things.
Performances I suggest you see: You need to see Gentleman's Agreement. Don't be an anti-Semite.
Mourning Becomes Electra features great performances and is a good film. If you feel you can sit through it (like you would a stage version of this play), absolutely see it. It's good.
Body and Soul I highly recommend. It's a really strong noirish boxing movie. Great film here.
A Double Life is a good film. Really solid in everything except the execution of the lead performance. I just can't help but feel that it's too histrionic. It feels like a stage performance. But, still, the film works in spite of that. It's worth seeing.
Life with Father — enjoyable, but not great. It just feels kind of flat.
Rankings:
5) Powell
4) Colman
3) Garfield
2) Redgrave
1) Peck

A Tube Shunt Fails: What's Next?
With limited published data to guide us, deciding how to proceed in this situation can be a challenge. Here's help.
One of the most difficult dilemmas in the management of eyes with complex glaucoma that have already had a tube shunt implant is what to do when the tube shunt fails. Assuming that we've exhausted medical options, we have to decide what the next step should be. Should we replace the tube shunt? Should we implant a second one? Should we perform an additional surgical or laser procedure?
These questions are not always easy to answer, and guidance in the literature is sparse. Here, to help you decide how to proceed when faced with one of these patients, I'd like to summarize the pros and cons of many of the options we have available at this point in time, and review the limited data available in the literature.
There's no question that tube shunts often fail. In the literature, the reported rates of failure of a primary tube shunt vary from about 9 to 50 percent, depending on a number of factors, including which device was used, the definition of failure used in the study, the design of the study and how long the patients were followed after the procedure. Most of the retrospective studies in the literature show higher rates of tube shunt failure between the third and sixth years, with upwards of 30 to 50 percent of tubes failing during that period.
One of the reasons for the widely varying reports of success or failure in the clinical data is that there's no agreed-upon definition of tube-shunt "failure." Each research protocol or study chooses a specific target to help decide whether the treatments being tested are effective. That usually means picking a target pressure to achieve, or looking for a specific change in the optic nerve or visual field—something you can compare when you're looking over a group of data points. Since different studies choose different endpoints for different reasons, we end up with very different ranges of success and failure for similar protocols in different studies.
Not surprisingly, any marker you choose also has the potential to create a somewhat misleading conclusion. For example, if you set your "failure pressure" at 18 mmHg and a given patient ends up at 19 mmHg, that patient is considered to have failed, even if her glaucoma is under control and not progressing. (In other words, the tube shunt didn't really fail.) On the other hand, you could have patients with a pressure of 15 mmHg who are still progressing. Those patients would be counted as "successes" in that particular study, even though the patients' condition would continue to worsen.
be a few years before that produces meaningful results.
For the purposes of this article, I'm defining primary tube-shunt failure as the inability to prevent progression of glaucoma in your patient using maximum tolerated medical options. In other words, despite the patient having a tube shunt and being on every medication you can reasonably prescribe, the glaucoma is still not controlled.
When we find that a patient with a tube shunt still has insufficiently controlled pressure, our first mission is to figure out why. To do that, we need to know whether the first tube shunt is still functioning. Is there fluid flowing into the reservoir or not? In some cases, the tube may still be functioning, but insufficient for getting the pressure down to your target range; in other cases, the shunt may have stopped working.
If you've determined that the tube isn't working at all, you can either revise the tube to try to get it working again or replace it. One option is to try to flush out the tube in the OR using a 30-cc syringe. To do this, you pull the tube out of the eye and use a cannula loaded onto a large 30-cc syringe to forcefully irrigate the tube, in order to either expand or fracture the capsule of fibrous tissue that forms around the plate and tube. Another option is to try resecting the capsule from around the tube so that it's not restricting the volume the tube can hold.
Another option is to replace the first tube with a different type of tube. There's almost no published data regarding this approach, even though many surgeons report doing this. However, a very small series was recently published in which the surgeons removed failed Ahmeds and replaced them with Baerveldts. Two cases out of nine failed after five to eight years.2 Given the small size of the series, of course, this isn't definitive information.
• Implanting a second tube. When the primary tube has failed, many surgeons would opt for adding a second tube. Most would place it in the opposite quadrant from the first tube, just because the tissue is usually much healthier there.
A second implant can definitely work, but it increases the risk of corneal edema and failure. In a retrospective study conducted by one group,3 there also seemed to be a risk of exposure of the first implant. We don't know if that was because of tissue manipulation, desiccation or some other factor. A second tube shunt certainly is not a panacea; additional interventions that were required after a second tube shunt have been reported because of tube erosion, corneal failure, endophthalmitis and hypotony.
Another key question is this: If you opt to implant a second tube, should you implant the same device or a different tube shunt? If an Ahmed isn't working, for example, some surgeons will switch to a Baerveldt or Molteno to see if they'll get a better result. Unfortunately, published data is scarce on the effectiveness of implanting the same device or trying one of the others; the surgeon has to use his or her best judgment regarding the cause of the first tube's failure and whether that suggests that a different device might work better.
When deciding whether to implant a second tube, another factor worth considering is the impact of having a second piece of hardware on the eye, in terms of vision. For example, diplopia can be an issue in this situation. Of course, many of these patients have very advanced disease, and some may only have one functioning eye. If the first shunt has failed, the eye is very sick by definition, so you're already dealing with a guarded prognosis.
• Performing a cyclodestructive laser procedure. This is an option that many surgeons would choose when a primary shunt has failed. In contrast to some of the other options, there's a lot of published data comparing implanting a second tube to the use of external diode cyclophotocoagulation (CPC) or endocyclophotocoagulation (ECP) after a tube shunt fails. (For example, see table, facing page.) If you look at visual outcomes when a CPC was used as the second intervention following a tube shunt, it maintained vision—plus or minus one line—far better than a second tube shunt did. I think that speaks volumes. CPC may be a better choice for preserving vision in these patients.
It's true that patients in some of the early studies required additional interventions, but many of those were actually extra CPC treatments. The reason for this was that when this option was first being investigated, surgeons were very conservative in the initial laser treatment, so they often undertreated. Up to that point, CPC had usually been reserved for eyes that were blind, or almost blind, because CPC was thought to create so much inflammation that it could put the eye at significant risk. In fact, we've learned that it's effective to start with a very conservative CPC and then follow up with additional treatments, as needed.
The group at the McGovern Medical School in Houston also retrospectively compared complications from a second tube shunt to complications from CPC; that data also favored CPC, in terms of avoiding serious complications, but the CPC group did require more interventions. The second-tube-shunt group had more serious complications, including three cases of endophthalmitis and more persistent corneal edema. This was also observed in the second-tube groups in some of the retrospective studies mentioned earlier.
There's less data regarding ECP as a second intervention. I usually do CPC—the external laser—unless I'm going into the eye to remove a cataract, or for some other reason; then I might try ECP. The one study I found on this showed that complications with ECP were limited, as you might expect, and the success rate at 12 months was 88 percent.4 That's pretty consistent with what we saw with CPC. There's no data yet on using micropulse or SLT in this situation. I suspect that the impact of SLT might not be great enough to meet the needs of an eye in this situation.
When deciding how to proceed, you need to weigh the risks and benefits based on the patient sitting in front of you, looking for the least-offensive option to help that already sick eye.
The new prospective, randomized trial designed to compare a second tube shunt to CPC mentioned earlier, the ASSIST study, sponsored by an American Glaucoma Society challenge grant and the Hermann Eye Fund in Houston, is currently enrolling patients. (Right now we're about a third of the way to being fully enrolled.) The lack of solid data regarding some of these questions was what prompted us to start this trial. It will be a multicenter international trial involving 33 sites. In terms of when to expect outcome data, completing the trial and analyzing the data will take a few years, because second tube shunts often fail three to five years out.
What about my own experience? Initially, I was doing a lot of second tubes in these patients, but when the retrospective data started coming out, I began opting more often for CPC. It's technically easier to perform, it's quicker, and the patient has a quicker recovery. Of course, we don't really know if the laser is the better option—yet.

The Civil List Act 1760 (1 Geo. 3 c. 1) was an Act of the Parliament of Great Britain passed upon the accession of George III.

The Act transferred almost all civil list revenues (mainly customs and excise) to Parliament. In the last year of George II's reign these had been worth £876,988. In return, the new king received a fixed, annual civil list of £800,000. Under George II the economy had grown and consequently the revenues increased. The fixed amount George III received was therefore a reduction in the Civil List.

If the previous arrangement had been retained, George III's civil list in 1777 would have been more than £1,000,000 and would have amounted to £1,812,308 in 1798. The £800,000 stipulated in the Act was soon found to be inadequate and a civil list crisis was only averted in the early 1760s because George II had built up savings worth £172,000 that George III was able to draw on. By the end of the decade the civil list arrears amounted to more than half a million pounds and the king had to apply to Parliament to pay it off.

In December 1964 the Boston Architectural Center organizedthe first conference on the role of computers in architecture – an issue that designers had been pondering since the 1950s. The questionat stake in such debates had been the relationship between artists and machines. Environmental design proved to be an unlikely question that emerged in the discussion, with architect and designer Serge Chermayeff noting that with computers environmental complexities could now come under the purview of architecture. Only a year earlier Chermayeff had published the seminal book Community and Privacy: Toward a New Architecture of Humanismwith Christopher Alexander, wherethe two authors had argued for a humanism that placed environmental concerns at the forefront. At the conference Chermayeff argued that computers constituted a critical tool for analyzing and comprehending environmental complexity, allowing for the integration of the built within the natural environment. "Our survival depends upon our ability to master new complexities" he argued, "with the best technology at our disposal." This optimism with respect to how computers could help in solving environmental problems was shared among modernist designers, most notably by Richard Buckminster Fuller, but also among ecologists and biologists of the period. Computers could order both the human and natural environment using the same language, thus bringing landscape and architectural design in dialogue. Yet computers of the time were cumbersome to work with and getting access to them was not a matter of course. The architects' musings about computers ultimately had to do with imagined futures for the design disciplinesand not so much thepractical exigencies of the time. By focusing on Serge Chermayeff's critical response to the introduction of computers as tools for grasping and communicating complexity, this paper will interrogate the emergence ofcomplexity as an aesthetic and design problem, formative for the introduction of computing to architectural design.

Ouroboros Architecture
"Ouroboros Architecture," in The Routledge Companion to Biology in Art and Architecture, Charissa N. Terranova and Meredith Tromble (eds.), (New York: Routledge, 2016), 112-135.
This article explores how and why imagined and real environments in space came to serve as models for ecological design of earthly landscapes and buildings in the 1970s. It claims that life in space came to represent the peaceful, rational, and environmentally friendly alternative to the destructive, irrational, ecological crisis down on Earth. Spaceship management aimed narrowly at the biological survival of astronauts, an ethic which also came to dominate ecological design proposals on board Spaceship Earth. The result was a design programme which was at the expense of a wider aesthetic and social understanding of the human condition. The article reviews the work of leading ecological designers of the period, such as Ian L. McHarg, John Todd and the New Alchemists, Alexander Pike and John Frazer, Brenda and Robert Vale, Ken Yeang, Phil Hawes, and others. It situates their projects in the perspective of ecological research methods of the period and puts forward an understanding of their thinking in the context of space exploration. Today's challenge is to escape the intellectual space capsule that ecologists have created for environmentally concerned architects.

Art in the Anthropocene
"Art in the Anthropocene," in Jan Freuchen: Columna Translantica, (Oslo: Press, 2015), 112-121.
Global warming is now at the forefront of public debate, along with a host of related environmental concerns. Indeed, humans are changing the face of the earth so dramatically that geologists use the word "anthropocene" to describe a new planetary epoch formed by human impact. Artists have increasingly begun reflecting on how to engage in the climate debates about the degradation of our shared environment. Jan Freuchen's Columna Transatlantica may belong within this new school of environmental art.

A pioneer country? A history of Norwegian climate politics
"A pioneer country? A history of Norwegian climate politics" Climatic Change, (Online March 2016), 1-13. Journal edition 151:1 (2018), 29-41.
Download PDF.
The shift away from ecology towards climatology in Norwegian environmental policy in the late 1980s and 1990s was not accidental. A main mover was the Labor Party politician Gro Harlem Brundtland who did not want to deal with unruly and highly vocal Deep Ecologists. Better then to start afresh with a different set of environmental scholars appealing to the technocratic tradition within the Labor Party. Instead of changing the ethical and social ways of dealing with environmental problems as the Deep Ecologists were advocating, she was looking for technological and economic solutions. And she mobilized an international regime of carbon capture storage (CCS), tradable carbon emissions quota (TEQs), and clean development mechanisms (CDMs), all of which eventually were approved in Kyoto in 1997. This move towards technocracy and cost-benefit economics reflects a post-Cold War turn towards utilitarian capitalism, but also a longing to showcase Norway as an environmental pioneer country to the world. The underlying question was how to reconcile the nation's booming petroleum industry with reduction in climate gas emissions. Should the oil and gas stay underground and the country strive towards the ecologically informed zerogrowth society the Deep Ecologists were envisioning? Or could growth in the petroleum industry take place without harming the environment as the Labor Party environmentalists argued?

The Reports plugin is throwing off two warnings every time it is accessed.
Just a heads up to the developers to address these.
For those reading along, remain calm. This is not a bug, or even a problem. The only negative side effect is that it may create long error log files.
I was cleaning up some of my own plugins and noticed these in the log.
It's done like that by design, so that older versions of PHP are supported, since not every server has the latest version of PHP installed.
Fair enough! Thanks for the response.

This…Is American Idol…Blog (Top 8 Guys Perform)
Posted on March 10, 2010 by jarrettfischer
It can't be a good sign that I'm actually dreading watching the guys sing tonight. Unfortunately for Idol, they suffer from the curse of 3. The worst seasons of Idol have always been when the male talent pool is weak which coincidentally has been multiples of three. Season 3 had George Huff, John Stevens, Matt Rodgers and Jon Peter Lewis as the final guys in the 12. Now all four of them can be seen nightly at the Marriott off Route 17 in Paramus, New Jersey. Season 6 gave us Blake Lewis, Chris Richardson, Phil Stacey, Chris Sligh, Brandon Rogers and lest we forget, the one they call Sanjaya!!
So here we are in Season 9 and after two weeks the guys have been very underwhelming. Even early front-runner Andrew Garcia is evoking shades of some sort of combination of overrated sports busts, Kwame Brown, Todd Van Poppell and Ryan Leaf. The best male singer to date, Lee Dewyze might not even crack the Top 5 overall when you factor in the girls this year.
But as long as none of the guys sing something as dreary as Paige Miles' performance last night, I'm going to remain optimistic and hope for the best, even if I am expecting the worst.
Here's how I have the guys ranked…
MALE POWER RANKINGS (thru last week)
1. Lee Dewyze
2. Andrew Garcia
3. Casey James
4. Alex Lambert
5. Michael Lynche
6. Toderick Hall
7. Aaron Kelly
8. Tim Urban
Once again, everything is rushed tonight trying to cram 8 guys into one hour. Sounds like a day in the life of Jenna Jameson. Zing!
Seacrest walks by the guys one by one and couldn't be happier that he's taller than half of them this year. My guess is another Idol conspiracy is in the works, as they'll vote off the tall guys this year just to appease Seacrest.
Lee Dewyze – "Fireflies" by Owl City – oh boy, it's going to be hard to remain optimistic when the best male to date comes out and sings just a really bland song choice. It wasn't terrible, but it was easily MC Scat Cat's two steps back after Paula's two steps forwards the past two weeks. I'm downgrading my optimism to "cautiously optimistic"
Seeing Luke Wilson promote March Madness thru AT&T is making me have doubts about filling out any brackets this year.
Alex Lambert – "Trouble" by Ray LaMontagne – absolutely perfect song choice, that's exactly who Alex sounds like and that's a great place to be. It could have been the "wow" moment that propelled him to the top as a potential frontrunner, but the judges nailed it on the head, he's still very raw and uncomfortable on the stage. If nothing else, keep an eye on this kid, if he ever figures out stage presence, he could be a threat. But in the meantime, just listen to some Ray LaMontagne, because he's that good.
Tim Urban – "Hallelujah" by Jeff Buckley – More controversy!!! Idol producers are doing it again. Last night, they made Paige and Lacey the only two girls to have to sing after someone else, whereas the other 6 girls got to sing after a commercial without anyone else before the next commercial. Now they're doing the same with Tim here. I'm guessing they'll do it with Aaron or Toderick too. As for the performance, actually started out really well, but once he hit the chorus, he started to lose his way a bit and struggled to hit the big notes. Apparently the judges and I differ again as they all loved him. Ellen even switched teams for a few seconds to go and hug him. I don't know, I just feel like when that song is performed it needs some more emotion and passion, and I didn't get that from son of Lincoln Burrows.
Preview for "Remember Me" – combines an actor from Maggie's favorite book (Twilight's Robert Pattinson) and an actress from Maggie's favorite TV show (Claire from Lost). Needless to say, I may be dragged to go see that. Someone please save me!
And now a preview for "The Cutting Edge 4" – which bodes the questions, when was there a Cutting Edge 2 and 3?
Andrew Garcia – "Genie In a Bottle" by Christina Aguilera – dang, was hoping for a different song. Um, this was terrible. I did not get any of that at all. It was almost a monotone performance except instead of a dreary note, it was one high note until the very end. Actually in a post-song interview, the Genie said he was rubbed the wrong way and now is really pissed off. Simon said it best, this was a very desperate performance, trying to recreate the magic he had in Hollywood Week, but it was borderline obnoxious. I think it's fair, and equally surprising, to say that Andrew may go home.
"Iron Man 2" – looks sick from the preview!
Casey James – "You'll Think of Me" by Keith Urban – I don't know if he's nervous, but his voice has been shaking a lot the past few weeks. It wasn't too bad, but pales in comparison to Keith Urban's version. I'm sure this was better than if Tim Urban sang it, but it really doesn't matter what Casey sang this week or if he just came out and picked his nose for 2 minutes, he'd still get a million phone calls from Maggie. Speaking of which, I need to go change our cell phone plan.
Aaron Kelly – "I'm Already There" by Lonestar – this sounded like me doing karaoke after eating 12 burritos. What was up with uncomfortable rocking back and forth and awkward head bobbing during the performance? By the way, Simon is a complete hypocrite for saying to Kara that it didn't matter that this was a 16 year old kid singing a song about a grown married man calling home to check on his kids. How many times has Simon bashed a contestant for singing something they were too young for? Simon really has checked out this year.
GRADE: C-
Uhhhh, Bo Bice doing Moe's Southwest Grill commercials??? Move over Kris Allen, there's a new homeless Idol star desperate for cash!
Toderick Hall – "Somebody To Love" by Queen – That was different. Interesting way to put an R&B twist on a classic song like that. It could have been a little more powerful and I was sad to not hear the big powerful note at the end. Go back and listen to original with Freddy Mercury, when he hits that note at the end, it's got to give you chills. But that being said, surprisingly good job by Toderick and he can said he didn't make Freddy roll over in his grave with that performance.
And a strong counterattack by Kris Allen with a new Ford commercial showing him looking for the cheapest gas station available. I'm very excited to see the Constantine Maroulis Preparation-H commercials.
Michael Lynche "This Woman's Work" by Maxwell – outside of me being bothered by him wearing sneakers (weird choice to go with the outfit) and not really knowing the song, great way to close the night! Even had some chills. I'm not crying or bawling like Kara is, or at all, but that was magnificent. Two great weeks in a row for Michael is giving me hopes for the guys.
MY BOTTOM THREE – Andrew Garcia, Aaron Kelly, Lee Dewyze
MY PREDICTION FOR AMERICA'S BOTTOM THREE – I have no clue!!! I'm gonna guess Tim Urban, Alex Lambert and Toderick Hall
GOING HOME – Alex Lambert and Toderick Hall (I hope I'm wrong)
NEW MALE POWER RANKINGS (last week's ranking in parenthesis)
1. Lee Dewyze (1)
2. Michael Lynche (5)
3. Alex Lambert (4)
4. Andrew Garcia (2)
5. Casey James (3)

We made our first trip together to Hawaii last month! It was a trip we had talked about taking for years together, and after a lucrative first part of the year I was able to buy tickets and surprise Alex for our 1 year wedding anniversary. The trip coincided with our 9 year dating anniversary, so it felt like the perfect place to celebrate and make some new memories together! Alex had been to Maui once as a kid, at around ten, but had few memories of what to do or see and mostly remembered sea turtles and black sand beaches from his first visit.
8/5/15: Summer Vacation in Maine!
1/6/15: Our favorite VEGAN spots in Vancouver!
Days 3 & 4 of our trip involved much less traveling than days 1 & 2. We had arrived in Gettysburg late the night before, pre-booking a dog friendly hotel to rest up at. After a full night of rest in a real bed we got up, showered, and headed into beautiful downtown Gettysburg.
This was the last picture I took as we crossed over the California state line into Nevada.
We knew we had to get In 'n' Out just one more time before we left for the East Coast.
I had never been to Las Vegas before Thursday evening. I turned 21 in September and everyone urged me to go as soon as possible but I don't drink, and I'm a total introvert. A place like Las Vegas totally terrified me. Luckily, my boyfriend is pretty neat and decided to plan a nice short, bar-free trip that wouldn't totally overwhelm me. We also figured we could make it a little bit of a vegan adventure and see what kinds of things Vegas offered for vegans...beside beer. We're only about a 3.5 hour drive from the city so when Alex got off of work at 2 pm, we started our drive. Luckily, we didn't hit traffic anywhere other than the slight slowing at the state line.

Fraxin ist ein Glucosid, welches natürlich in der Rinde verschiedener Bäume vorkommt. In nennenswerten Mengen konnte es in der Rosskastanie (Aesculus hippocastanum) und in verschiedenen Arten der Esche (Fraxinus) nachgewiesen werden. Außerdem soll es auch zusammen mit der verwandten Verbindung Aesculin in der Kiwifrucht (Actinidia deliciosa oder Actinidia chinensis) gefunden worden sein.

Fraxin zählt zu den Cumarin-Derivaten und zeigt, typisch für Vertreter dieser Stoffklasse, türkis-grüne Fluoreszenz unter ultraviolettem Licht. Fraxin ist das Glucosid-Derivat des Fraxetins.

Verwendung
In der traditionellen asiatischen Medizin werden Extrakte aus der Eschenrinde und -wurzel als fiebersenkend, schmerzstillend und harntreibend beschrieben. Außerdem werden ihnen antirheumathische Eigenschaften zugeschrieben.
Auch in Europa wird Fraxinus americana in der Homöopathie gegen Fieber, Hämorrhagie und bei Erkrankungen des Uterus angewandt. Möglicherweise können diese Effekte dem Fraxin zugeschrieben werden.

The meeting lasted one hour. Puran Polis are made using jaggery. Isn't that Marc's hat? Isn't that your dictionary? It being very cold, we stayed at home. We should ask him. Marie wanted a fresh start. Surfing was fun. Is there anything you can do for Kitty? Maybe Charles is stupid.
I just want Rodney to know that we'll miss him. Danny has no sense of beauty. Dennis didn't expect that result. "How serious is Kenneth's sickness?" - "We should fear the worst." She plays the piano every day. He earns twenty dollars a day. Our team lost, 2-0. This is being done for your safety. That's why people love you. His eyes were smiling behind his glasses.
They know I know. I take a walk with my dog in the evening. He spent another sleepless night watching television. The appointed day is close at hand. No one can transcend their own individuality. He cannot have said that. Herve doesn't listen to classical music at all. Steve said that he'd make it on time. Kathleen seems interesting. Fire!
Who paid you to add this sentence? You're trying to brainwash us! Per can't do that anymore. That's something I never do after lunch. They advise us to read their books. "Are my eyes really telling me the truth?" answered the old man, rubbing his eyes. "Are you really my own dear Pinocchio?" Elijah bought some apples and made apple sauce. Kazuhiro mentioned your name. You told her yes, I hope. I'm trying to translate. I'm finished with you.
Break it down. We're not having another party any time soon. I've let everybody down. My sister went to Italy to study music. He used to tell me stories about India. "Oy, what's up, Tanji?" "I'm having trouble because there's a unit I didn't take at my last school." You are both cute and nice. The novel added to his reputation. Fay stared at Ramneek icily. Listen to his candid opinion.
I saw Vilhelm here yesterday. The blue sports car came to a screeching halt. I love doing this. Stewart is here, but he's busy at the moment. Please ask Ssi if he can spare another few minutes. Our plane is thirty minutes late. Who is the gentleman all dressed in black? It never rains, it pours. Have a donut. I'm going to Florida next Friday.
Amy gave me his old one. Would you please take off your shoes? The girl put the key in her pocket. Joachim couldn't have made this by himself. You don't have to lie. I make it a rule to get up early in the morning. These shoes are too large for me. You're not trying to trick me, are you? What can't you live without? Molly is watering his garden.
Kanthan went to talk to Louiqa as soon as the period ended. I'm an orthodontist. From Carlsbad to Carlsworse. I prefer John's car to his employers one. Do you enjoy studying French? I spoke to them. All was silent throughout the castle. I helped him weed the garden. "Do you think we should go to the beach?" "Of course, the answer is yes." You're looking thin.
My wife is Palestinian. The papers didn't print this story. I went to Disneyland with my mother. On the plus side, death is one of the few things that can be done just as easily lying down. It is no longer a dream for man to live on the moon. Is that good or bad for him? She shuddered to see the dead cat. He succeeded on his second try. She was very ambitious for her children. Writers often refer to a dictionary.
What's the difference between asteroids and comets? Europe is a continent. I'm sorry. I didn't mean it. Birds were singing among the trees. Sjouke has his own car. Somebody must be at the bottom of this affair. What are little boys made of? Snips and snails and puppy dog tails. You may take photos outside this museum, but not inside. O Lord, who lends me life, lend me a heart replete with thankfulness. What should we do about him?

DUBLIN TO CELEBRATE RUSSIAN CULTURE DURING WEEK-LONG FESTIVAL
Packed schedule includes a variety of free-to-attend activities
for all ages and tastes at locations across the city centre
Dublin, 9th February 2012 A wealth of vibrant activities are on offer across Dublin city as part of the third annual Russian Cultural Festival, running from February 20th – 26th. Traditional music, dance, children's activities, lively performances, chess challenges, artisan food and cookery, the best in contemporary cinema, informative exhibitions and lectures are just some of the events taking place at numerous locations across the city. The week long festivities will culminate in a family day on Sunday February 26th, traditionally celebrated in Russia as Maslenitsa ("Pancake Day"), where entertainment to appeal to all ages will take place in and around Cow's Lane and Essex Street, Temple Bar.
This year the Festival has successfully secured the renowned Russian performer Oleg Pogudin to perform two exclusive shows at the Olympia Theatre in Dublin on Sunday February 26th. Pogudin, a beloved fixture on the Russian music circuit for over two decades, will perform for the first time ever in Ireland as part of the Festival. His eclectic mix of contemporary and classic Russian music and his unique, distinctive voice have earned him the title of "The Silver Voice of Russia". Both shows are expected to sell out.
The Festival will encompass a selection of venues across the city, with associated activities certain to suit all cultural tastes in Temple Bar, Civic Offices Wood Quay, Trinity College Dublin, The National Library of Ireland, Dublin City Gallery, The Hugh Lane Gallery, city centre cinemas and the National Gallery of Ireland. This is the third outing for the Festival, following on from last year's massively successful event which saw over 7,000 visitors attend the family day, with many thousands more attending other attractions in the programme during the week. The Festival is organised by Dublin City Council with the participation and support of Moscow City Government.
There are many highlights in this year's programme, particularly the central focus on the family day on Sunday February 26th in Temple Bar. This will feature a variety of performances and Russian food and souvenir stalls, along with entertainment to keep children enthralled, including Russian storytelling, doll painting, fairytale films and face painting, and plenty to keep adults entertained also.
For those interested in international cuisine, there will be a once-off opportunity to take a class in Russian cooking at the Cooks Academy, South William Street, on Thursday 23rd February. The class runs from 6.30pm – 9pm and tickets cost €70, available through www.cooksacademy.ie.
There will be lectures throughout the week on Russian culture taking place in the Long Room Hub in Trinity College Dublin and at the National Gallery of Ireland with presentations by leading experts on Russian culture, all of which are free to attend.
Several contemporary Russian films, including the multi-award winning Faust by renowned filmmaker Alexander Sokurov, will be screening during the week in association with Jameson Dublin International Film Festival. The films will be shown at various cinemas across the city – further details can be found on the Jameson Dublin International Film Festival website, www.jdiff.com.
One of the most popular events in previous years at the Festival has been the opportunity for members of the public to challenge Russian chess Grand Master Alexander Baburin. Mr Baburin is inviting secondary school students to a workshop in the Civic Offices on the morning of Thursday 23rd, and university students can challenge the Master in a mass chess-game at 1.30pm. Chess enthusiasts gathered in their droves last year to watch this spectacle, where the Grand Master took on over 20 players simultaneously, and an even greater crowd is expected this year.
Weeklong activities include three exhibitions: children's art, photographic, and a Russian art exhibition in the Atrium of the Civic Offices in Wood Quay. The children's art exhibition is a collection of works by schoolchildren from Dublin and surrounding counties who were encouraged to submit their artwork to represent Russian fairytales.
The Festival also has a strong business angle, to encourage ongoing trade between Russia and Dublin, and prominent business leaders will attend a breakfast and presentation to discuss how to strengthen economic ties between the two countries.
The Russian Cultural Festival is organised by Dublin City Council's Office of International Relations and Research, and takes place with the kind assistance of Moscow City Government, O'Callaghan Hotels, Trinity College Dublin, The Russian Gazette, Easons, Jameson Dublin International Film Festival, Temple Bar Cultural Trust, National Library of Ireland, National Gallery of Ireland and The Russian Irish Cultural Foundation.
