Orville Wright at the control of the Baby Grand Racing Plane in Belmont Park, N.Y., in 1920 ("Kitty Hawk", Plate 104).
The centennial anniversary of the first flight by Orville and Wilbur Wright on Dec. 17 allows Sam Houston Memorial Museum Director Patrick Nolan to reflect upon a chance encounter. It could almost be considered fate that Nolan received the opportunity to write a book about the Wright brothers about 30 years ago because of this encounter.
Nolan had just started working as history professor and director of archives at Wright State University in Dayton, Ohio, for about a month in 1973 when he was approached about some Wright brother memorabilia. The owners of the memorabilia were the closest relatives to the Wright brothers, a niece and a nephew, who were left the materials after Orville died in 1948.
"The university, Wright State (named after the brothers), was kind of a new university that Ohio had set up to serve the Dayton area," Nolan said. "So the niece and the nephew gave all these archives and papers to the university, which included several hundred photographs and letters and diaries.
"They (Ivonette Miller and her brother, Horace Wright) just called up one day and said, 'We've got a bunch of Wright brothers papers that are kind of in the basement over here, and I wonder if somebody from the university might be interested in them,'" Nolan said. "There was just photographs and manuscripts just sitting there in the basement."
Though Nolan said he had never particularly been interested in airplanes as a child and had no background in aeronautics, he couldn't resist taking a look at the materials.
"We had a great collection that nobody had ever seen before, with all these pictures and all this stuff that had pretty much been kept in the basement of these folks house in Dayton, Ohio," he said. "This was the first time that a lot of these documents were ever really out there for people to look at."
Nolan and Wright State photography professor Ron Geibert decided to put all the material together and create a book.
"We figured that this is a real good opportunity to both find something that people would be interested in getting and also publicize and promote the archives of the university," Nolan said.
"Kitty Hawk and Beyond: The Wright Brothers and the Early Years of Aviation" became the product of the Wrights' papers, a lot of research and interviews. The book was published in 1990 by Wright State University Press.
As the Dec. 17 anniversary of the famous flight approaches, the book was reprinted and re-issued by Roberts Rinehart Publishers because Wright State University Press went out of print.
"It's not just a reprint, we actually did change some of the text, we updated some of the references, there's a new introduction by the director of the Aerospace Museum, we made some corrections to some errors that had gotten into the first books," he said, "so it's more than just taking the book and just copying it literally, like a Xerox."
Nolan said the book focuses on both the personal and scientific aspects of the Wright Brothers' lives.
"That's one of the reasons we did it, because most of the images and most of the things that people had been talking about was the pictures of the airplanes themselves. But these guys had a very interesting family life, they had lots of friends, they had brothers and sisters and their father was an interesting man," he said. "There's just a lot there that wasn't really part of that public persona. We chose a lot of that-we have their report cards in grade school and their Christmas tree; things that were just kind of part of their lives."
The amount of documentation of the first flight is one of the biggest things that separates the Wrights' feat from others' inventions.
"One of the things that made the book so fun to do was that they were very conscious of what they were accomplishing, and they started out right from the beginning to document everything they did," Nolan said. "They took pictures of everything and they wrote it all down because they knew that if they succeeded people were going to assume it was a fraud.
"So they wanted to have pictures, they wanted to have everything there to show what they had done, which is why we have the first flight picture and all that that shows it taking off because they actually had a guy with a camera stationed right there, ready to take the picture," he said. "You can't say that about most other inventions."
"They realized that the real problem in flight wasn't having a motor that could power it, they had that, they had propellers, they've had propellers on ships for a hundred years. They realized the real problem was controlling this thing in the air," he said. "All the other experimenters were killed before they could learn what to do. So the thing that they really developed was the system of controlling an airplane in flight, and that's what they patented and that's what we still use today."
The fact that modern aviation does still use the same control system invented almost 100 years ago is one of the most amazing parts of the invention, according to Nolan. "We've come a long way in 100 years," Nolan said.
An example of how far we've come occurred at a symposium in which the niece who donated the materials, Ivonette Miller, had attended, Nolan said.
"She (Miller) was a teenager when the Wrights flew in 1903. She was the first teenager in the world to fly in an airplane and the second woman to fly in an airplane," he said. "When she finally died, she was the only person left in the world who flew in an airplane piloted by one of the Wright brothers.
"While I was in Dayton, we had a symposium, and we invited Neil Armstrong to come up and be the introducer for it, because he was in Cincinnati. We had, on the platform together, the last person alive to fly in the Wright Brothers airplane being introduced by the first man to walk on the moon," he said. "I just thought, 'That's one lifetime.' In less than 100 years, we've gone from something that looks like an egg crate to guys walking around on the moon. Now that is a hell of a story."


Located deep in the countryside on the borders of Wiltshire and Dorset, Cools Farm is the magical setting for two self-catering cottages, sensitively created from redundant farm buildings.
The Tractor Shed is a modern conversion providing top quality living accommodation on a single (ground floor level). Inside, you'll find clean lines and contemporary fittings, all presented to a really high standard with everything you could need for a restful break.

I tend to stumble through the internet, so if I find something interesting, I will let you know!
While stumbling around through the Internet, I discovered a nice article at Skippy's List: "Soundtrack To Your Life".
skippy got a list with topics and a handful instructions how to fill them with music tracks to create your own, unique soundtrack for your life. It was fun to create my own soundtrack and I believe it is also a good chance to think about your life while you listen to your soundtrack.
The first time I stumbled upon such a "stumblecard" I had no real idea what are they for.
Congratulations…you have found a "stumblecard"!
The latest sensation sweeping the web, "stumblecards" are simply an online version of the humble trading card.
What's so great about "stumblecards" is that you never know when you'll find one.
There are many out there to collect so keep your eyes peeled.
When you find a card, be sure to bookmark this page or give it a thumbs up so you can go to collect them all.
I myself found two cards via StumbleUpon so far. I did not try a Google search as I believe it spoils the sensation of this, well, game.
A friend of mine told and showed me this interesting browser game.
My mini city is called Coruin City, not a fancy name but I have to live with it. After you created your city you visit it each day once. You can also bug your friends or fellow bloggers to visit the page each day.
The first option exists right from the beginning and since my mini city is still young I can't tell when I will unlock the next option. Once I unlock the next option(s), I'll update this post.
I hope I woke your interest for this neat browser game. Let me know if you also start a mini city or if you decided to help me with my mini city.
I discovered this uh…funny article at webmaster-source.com about a guy who runs a website called whyfirefoxisblocked.com.
The guy at "whyisfirefoxblocked.com" claim that Firefox users are thieves if they use AdblockPlus or other ways to block the advertisement on a website.
Matt from webmaster-source.com outlines a few holes in their arguments about why blocking Firefox is necessary. After reading it I couldn't stop laughing, as you can see in my comment.

NYC's Danny Lapidus, of Hot Peas 'n Butter, on Fatherhood and Making Music
Posted on June 14, 2018 by rockmommyct
This month, Rockmommy talks to rocker dads of (mostly) young children about life, music and more. Here we catch up with father of two Danny Lapidus, lead singer for the super-fun Brooklyn band Hot Peas 'n Butter. Their new album features guests artists Laurie Berkner, Dan Zanes and Peter Yarrow! Catch them in Union Square Park in NYC for a free show on July 12.
Rockmommy: What do you love best about being a dad?
Danny Lapidus: When I stop to think about being a dad (which is not often because….I'm a dad!! who has time to think about anything?!) there are many things things that I love about it. One thing that will seem obvious to people who have kids, but may sound strange to others, is that there is actual joy in realizing you are no longer the center of the universe! It hits you like a ton of bricks! There is someone here who is more important to me than anything else and even myself!! Makes me appreciate my dad even more. Another thing that I absolutely love about being a father to young kids is that they think I'm the strongest person in the world, literally.
Rockmommy: Tell me about your latest musical project — how did it come about?
Danny Lapidus: My latest musical project is a new album with my band Hot Peas 'n Butter called Back to the Land. It started with an idea of trying to go back to musical roots. I wanted to explore everything from bluegrass to Gospel music… real Americana, because that is what I grew up on and what feels so sincere to me. I honestly thought the album would contain mostly new arrangements of traditional music, but then I started writing with my partner Steve Jabas, and we realized that that the songs all had similar themes of unity, equality, and protecting our environment. We immediately felt we had something special.
As a New York City studio Producer and Mixer, I've had the pleasure of working with some amazing musicians and as we wrote I realized I could ask around and see who would join us on the album. I never expected to get Peter Yarrow! (Peter, Paul & Mary), Laurie Berkner, Dan Zanes, a gospel choir led by Marcelle Davies-Lashley and all the other amazing musicians who helped us bring this album life. This was the most fulfilling album I've had the pleasure of working on so far.
Rockmommy: Has your music changed since you became a dad? If yes, how so?
Danny Lapidus: Maybe the music has not changed so much but the songwriting definitely has. I think the main difference now is that I feel like I always want to say something in my songs, to have a positive message, and even to take a stand on matters that mean something to me, because, I want my kids to know I stand for something.
Rockmommy: What's it like trying to balance music with parenthood? And are there other factors in the mix?
Danny Lapidus: Wow, now you're asking the hard questions. YES there are many factors in the mix these days! It's extremely hard to balance music with parenthood but I wouldn't change a thing;)

São Paulo, Brazil, 28 November 2012 - FuturaGene, a world leader in the enhancement of yield and sustainability of woody crops for plantation forestry, biopower and biofuel markets, is pleased to announce the signing of a Cooperation Framework Agreement with EMBRAPA, (Empresa Brasileira de Pesquisa Agropecuária) the Brazilian Ministry of Agriculture research organisation. Under the agreement, FuturaGene and EMBRAPA will establish collaborative research programs in eucalyptus and other tree species for the enhancement of sustainable development in Brazil and other territories. The first project to be executed under the agreement will incorporate an aluminium-tolerance gene of EMBRAPA into FuturaGene eucalyptus germplasm to enhance yields in areas affected by aluminium toxicity in the soil.
EMBRAPA is one of the largest public sector tropical agriculture R&D organisations, with strong agroforestry capabilities, an annual R&D budget of over US$1 billion and more than 2,300 researchers in 42 centers located around Brazil. The mission of EMBRAPA, to develop technologies for enhancing food security and crop productivity, underlies the synergies that will allow the two organisations to develop new innovations for sustainable agro-forestry and meet the growing agro-ecological challenges related to productivity.
Under the terms of the agreement, signed at EMBRAPA's headquarters in Brazil, the partnership focuses on the development of genetic technologies for use in Brazil but allows FuturaGene to apply the technologies developed under the agreement worldwide, ensuring that innovation from forestry research reaches the areas that most need it.
Since its inception, on April 26, 1973, Embrapa has generated and recommended more than nine thousand technologies for Brazilian agriculture, reduced production costs and helped Brazil to improve food security whilst, conserving natural resources and the environment and diminishing external dependence on technologies, basic products and genetic materials.
Networking through 42 Research Centers, 5 Service Centers and 13 Central Divisions, Embrapa is present in all biomes of the country. There are 9,657 employees in Embrapa, of which 2,389 are researchers, 18% with master's degrees,74% with doctoral degrees and 7% as post doctorates. Embrapa coordinates the National Agricultural Research System, which includes the State Organizations of Agricultural Research, universities and research institutes of federal or state level, as well as other public and private organizations, directly or indirectly related to agriculture research.
Embrapa maintains projects in International Cooperation in order to perfect knowledge of technical and scientific activities and also shares knowledge and technology with other countries.
FuturaGene, with facilities in Brazil, China and Israel is a leader in plant genetic research and development for the global forestry, biopower and biofuel markets. FuturaGene develops sustainable, ecologically sound technology to meet the ever increasing demands for fiber, fuel and energy crops in the face of declining land and water resources.
FuturaGene's crop development is focused through two main technology platforms: yield and processability enhancement - driving gains in yield during crop growth and greater processability of crop, post-harvest; and yield protection to protect strategic crops from emerging threats caused by changing climate and diminishing resources and to enable marginal land usage.
FuturaGene's key crops are eucalyptus and poplar and its most advanced technologies are for yield improvement in sustainable industrial forestry. FuturaGene has fully integrated capabilities from gene sourcing and discovery, through development and in-house regulatory capability, large scale field trial capacity to market channels and captive off-take. It is uniquely positioned as one of the few biotech companies, outside of the "majors", which has taken a new trait from the lab to late stage regulatory development.
Since July 2010, FuturaGene has been a wholly owned subsidiary of Suzano Pulp and Paper, a leading integrated forestry, pulp, paper and renewable energy company in Brazil. As a wholly owned subsidiary of Suzano, FuturaGene continues its worldwide biotech activities with enhanced resources driving its mission to be a world leader in sustainable plant genetic research and development.
Issued for and on behalf of FuturaGene.

The euro-dollar parity evolved in two phases last week: August 29th – September 2nd. On Monday, the euro appreciated, driven by the return of investor risk appetite and US Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke's speech, which left the door open to a QE3, which could lead to the weakening of the dollar.
Later in the week, the euro slipped gradually vis-a-vis the greenback in spite of disappointing US statistics most likely because of disappointing European job figures.
Fears of a worsening of the European sovereign debt crisis persisted last week. Greece's growing difficulties to meet its budgetary obligations has penalized Spain and Italy, who are struggling to find their way on the bond market.
Spain has hardly raised 3.621 billion of Euros of 5-year bonds. The coverage ratio (ability to meet its obligations satisfactorily) was only 1.8, against 2.9 during a similar period in early July.
The Swiss franc, a safe haven since April 2011, increased in value again this week after a few sessions of respite. Nevertheless, the Swissy slightly lost value on Friday.
In Japan, the new prime minister, Yoshihiko Noda, came into office last week and will face the effects of a very strong yen. However, the Bank of Japan's exceptional announcements last week seem to have had a positive impact on the Japanese currency.
After having lost value on Monday, gold has resumed its upward rush. In particular on Friday, when the disappointing US employment figures pushed gold higher than $1880. Gold, more than ever, remains a safe haven and the current market volatility is only reinforcing that role.
– Bank of Brazil lowered its interest rates despite growing inflation.
– US President Barack Obama contacted global economic leaders about a new stimulus plan.
– Disappointing Nonfarm payrolls release on Friday underlined current volatility of markets.

Brett Favre said he can't completely rule out the possibility that he might play for another team before his career is over. But Favre also told reporters at a Wednesday news conference that he is "99.9 percent" sure he'll retire a Green Bay Packer. In a taped H-B-O interview, Favre told Bob Costas that he'd consider playing elsewhere if the Packers decided to rebuild. Favre said yesterday though, that his answer was a hypothetical one. Favre turns 37 in October and is entering his 15th season with the Packers and 16th overall in the NFL.

Preoccupations Announce "New Material" (Literally); Share "Espionage"
Site fave Preoccupations recently announced that their new full-length – cleverly titled New Material – will release March 23, courtesy of Jagjaguwar and Flemish Eye (in Canada). To tide us over until then, the band have also shared the Nathan David Smith-produced video (below) for new track, "Espionage", which incorporates the album's artwork, by Calgary-based designer Marc Rimmer.
The track itself feels typically unsettled, structurally calling to this mind a kind of industrial-edged Heaven 17. The lyrics feel desolate (singer Matt Flegel has described the album as an "ode to depression and self-sabotage"), with a defiant call and response between lead and backing vocals rising to a persistent call for "change". Whether this defiance brings catharsis or is a mere kick out against the pricks is open for debate.
You can pre-order New Material now, and make sure to catch Preoccupations on one of their forthcoming tour dates.

Irish Bishops 'Dismayed' by Abortion Tally
by Rodney Pelletier • ChurchMilitant.com • July 13, 2020
Weak response to slaughter of the unborn
DUBLIN (ChurchMilitant.com) - According to a new report, there were 6,666 abortions in previously-Catholic Ireland following the decriminalization and legalization of abortion in January 2019.
Pro-abortion marchers in Dublin
Irish bishops reacted, saying, "The report, for those who will look beyond the statistics, represents a fresh call to conversion for individuals, for the political establishment and for society."
They then proposed: "It is an important expression of our pro-life commitment that Catholics would commit to offering practical and emotional support to women who experience difficulty because of pregnancy."
A report issued on June 30 by Ireland's Department of Health revealed most abortion procedures — 6,542 — were undergone as a matter of convenience, with 100 due to "condition likely to lead to death of fetus" and 24 done due to "risk to life or health perceived" or an "emergency." Most abortions were carried out in Dublin — Ireland's most populous metropolitan center.
In 1983 lawmakers added the Eighth Amendment to Ireland's Constitution, declaring, "The State acknowledges the right to life of the unborn and, with due regard to the equal right to life of the mother, guarantees in its laws to respect, and, as far as practicable, by its laws to defend and vindicate that right."
Most abortion procedures — 6,542 — were undergone as a matter of convenience.
But after extensive lobbying by abortion activists, Irish voters decided in May 2018 to rescind the amendment, legalizing abortion starting on Jan. 1, 2019. The June 30 report indicates more abortions occurring the first month than the others.
George Soros' Influence
In 2016 an Irish newspaper reported billionaire atheist George Soros was funding the effort to overturn the Eighth Amendment, with Soros' Open Society Foundation funding Amnesty International Ireland, the Abortion Rights Campaign and the Irish Family Planning Association.
The organizations admitted they were getting money from Soros with the purpose of using once-Catholic Ireland to weaken strong pro-life laws in other Catholic countries, "potentially setting off a chain reaction in other strongly Catholic countries in Europe."
Globalist billionaire George Soros
Although Ireland's Electoral Act prohibits foreign political donations over $125, Amnesty International Ireland admitted to illegally receiving over $160,000 from Soros. Executive director Colm O'Gorman refused to give the money back, calling the law "deeply flawed."
A leaked memo from Soros' organization maintained he wanted his Open Societies Foundations "to work collectively on a campaign to repeal Ireland's constitutional amendment granting equal rights to an implanted embryo as the pregnant woman," adding: "With one of the most restrictive abortion laws in the world, a win there could impact other strongly Catholic countries in Europe, such as Poland, and provide much-needed proof that change is possible, even in highly conservative places."
If you voted yes knowing and intending that abortion would be the outcome, then you should consider coming to confession.
Considered a premier example of a Catholic country, Ireland's people have been divesting themselves of their Catholic faith. In 2016, 78% of the population identified as Catholic. But according to a 2012 poll, most Irish Catholics do not attend Mass or believe key Catholic doctrines — with 62% not believing in the Real Presence in the Holy Eucharist.
Bishops Called Out
The bishops have been called out by Catholic faithful as being complicit in the decline of the faith in Ireland, especially regarding the transmission of the Faith in schools.
Bp. Kevin Doran
After abortion was legalized, only on bishop spoke out — Sligo bishop Kevin Doran, who said "If you voted yes knowing and intending that abortion would be the outcome, then you should consider coming to confession."
Over a 50-year span, Irish society continued its slide into moral degeneracy. Starting in 1972, Article 44 was struck from the Irish Constitution recognizing "the Holy, Catholic, Apostolic and Roman Church as the guardian of the Faith professed by the great majority of citizens."
That was followed by the legalization of contraception, the abolition of laws prohibiting sodomy, the establishment of so-called hate-speech laws regarding sexual orientation, and government-level promotion of transgender ideology and so-called same-sex marriage.

Word Count: 1614Even in today's growing world of , young girls, as well as grown women, are being taught by the media to organize their lives around men. Their needs, expectations, work schedules, ideas, and interests become second to the men in their lives. All too often the media associates power and status to men, only to strengthen the barriers between the male and female genders. Take for example Hollywood, where "women get only about a third of all movie and TV roles, and last year earned less than male actors in all age categories…"(Eby, 1). And even though gender should not be used as the determining factor of what one can and cannot do, Hollywood, as well as everywhere else, has proven that the old habits of gender discrimination die hard, if at all.
Luckily, there exist screenwriters and filmmakers who aren't afraid to step outside the limitations of gender, stirring up some controversy. Callie Khouri, creator of "Thelma and Louise" is the exception to this rule. Awarded "Best Original Screenplay", the film challenges our preconceived notions of gender limitations by "giving a feminine twist to a pair of all too familiar Hollywood genres, the road picture and the buddy picture"(NY Times, 1991). The "road and buddy movie" usually calls for men in the lead roles, whereas "Thelma and Louise" called for Geena Davis and Susan Sarandon. A film such as this one allowed for two women to get into dangerous trouble, enjoy themselves, and "unmask the other sex"; actions normally reserved for men (NY Times, 1991).
According to Ms. Khouri, the script of "Thelma and Louise" was infact, "a conscious effort to counter what she sees as Hollywood's tendency to limit women's roles to easily identifiable types such as bimbos, whores, and nagging wives"(NY Times, 1991). She therefore uses the characters in the movie not so much to prove a point, but instead to make a point. At the same time that Ms. Khouri is making her point, the movie becomes somewhat of a catharsis for women.
"Thelma and Louise" is supposed to be "about what every woman knows"(Eby,4). Though rape is a major issue that is used in the movie, it is not supposed to be the only issue women relate to. The general comparison between the women on screen and the women in the audience should be the feeling of at one time or another having been threatened, having been treated as inferior, or having found oneself in situations where a woman's voice is never louder than a man's. One example of a cathartic, yet controversial scene would be that in which Louise kills Thelma's assailant, Harlan. This scene itself carries a great deal of symbolism. Harlan, the rapist who is eventually shot, becomes a representation of all things that hold women back. He becomes the wall which holds back women from fulfilling their "wishes, ambitions, pleasures, and impulses"(NY Times, 1991). Thelma is who we are, a prisoner behind this wall and Louise is who we want to become… the prisoner who breaks free and confronts those who held her back.
Another cathartic scene is that in which Thelma and Louise confront the truck driver who has been harassing them the entire distance of their road trip. That truck driver is someone almost every woman has dealt with at some time or another. "There is not a woman in the world who has not dealt with that guy. He is out there in force, but when you're walking down the street and guys do that, what you're supposed to do as a woman is ignore it"(LA Times, 1991). After ignoring the truck driver throughout most of the movie, Thelma and Louise take a stand, not only for themselves but also for all the women who have wished they could say something back, but haven't for whatever reason it may be. All the suppressed emotions and unsaid words of both the woman on screen and those sitting in the audience manifest themselves into an explosion which blows up the truck driver's sense of power… not to mention the truck itself.
Feminism has often been confused with male-bashing, as is the case with the motivation behind "Thelma and Louise". According to Ms. Khouri, "its none of these things"(LA Times, 1991). The movie is a role reversal which gives women the opportunity to shine in the lead role, a concept which seems to make the male population uneasy. For those who claim that the movie is a 'chick revenge flick', Ms. Khouri adds, "you can't do a movie without villains"(LA Times, 1991). In this case, the villains happen to be of the male gender. It is the male characters in the movie which make our leading ladies who they are and who they later turn out to be. These men who either desire, fear, hate, or need these women become somewhat of a motivation to break free from their current situations. The movie seems to use the premise that woman will never be totally free from men, except as we see, possibly in death. Throughout the movie, the male characters never give up trying to control, exploit, punish or save Thelma and Louise. Watching the movie, it is important to note how each man, one after the other, pursues these women and will not them go. Not even Hal, the one man who seems to understand Thelma and Louise, can let them go. He can't help but feel the need to save the two woman, even "as he chases their car as Louise floors it and the '66 T-Bird sails out over the edge of the Canyonlands Cliff"(Eby, 2).
Though the movie is about two women 'finding themselves', it is the men surrounding them who define their roles. Darryl, Thelma's husband is just one example. Thelma, when introduced to the audience resembles somewhat of a naive, helpless child going away on her own for the first time. She has apparently never gone away without Darryl and she can't even bring herself to tell him that she is going away for the weekend. As Louise puts it, Darryl who is like the parent rather a husband, defines Thelma's role. "For Christ sake, Thelma is he your husband or your father? Its just two days… Don't be a child". Darryl's role as the domineering and protective husband/father figure has created the Thelma introduced to us in the beginning of the movie; he has also helped create the Thelma which we the audience have come to grow with and identify with at the end of he movie.
Another important aspect of the movie is the transformation which both women undergo. In order to intensify the significance of the final transformation, it is important to note how the two women are introduced. Note that in the beginning of the movie, Thelma is introduced to the audience as a "somewhat wacky, small town Arkansas housewife, under the thumb of a chauvinistic husband"(LA Times, 1991). She is presented as young and pretty with wild hair and skimpy outfits. As we see in the packing scene in which she prepares for her weekend getaway, she is cluttered, wrinkled, and unorganized. Louise on the other hand is a "strong-willed coffee shop waitress who seemingly has everything under control"(LA Times, 1991). She is incredibly neat and organized, wears boring clothes compared to Thelma, and has tamed hair. As the audience watches her in the packing scene, we notice that "she packs her sneakers into a Ziplock bag and washes the lone dirty glass in the sink before heading off…"(Eby, 2). Unlike Thelma, Louise understands men well enough to know when to hate them (Harlan, the rapist), to fear them, to suspect them (JD, the hitchhiker), to love them (Jimmy, her boyfriend), and to respect them (Hal, the detective).
Throughout the movie, the roles slowly seem to reverse. Louise had been the one in charge and in control, but slowly she begins to snap under the pressure. In one particular scene, the role reversal becomes most obvious to the audience. Louise finds out that Thelma has left JD alone in her hotel room with the money which Jimmy had brought them. By the time the girls make it back to the room, JD and the money are long gone. Louise comes to the realization that the control she once possessed has now escaped her. Thelma, who watches as her friend crumbles before her eyes, realizes that she needs to break free from her child-like persona and take control of the situation. Thelma takes on a new sense of responsibility and maturity. She gives Louise a chance to finally let her guard down.
"This is a movie about the adventures of women, and that's rare. And that really sad that its rare and we can't think of another movie like this"(LA Times, 1991). Thelma and Louise was a movie written and produced to give women an opportunity to finally tell their story in a society where the media is all too often dominated by males. This was an opportunity to move females from the roles of girlfriend and side interest into the leading role. It is no longer about a man's experiences and a man's adventures.

HQ Trivia host Scott Rogowsky is leaving the company for his new gig as a baseball host ... because HQ wouldn't play ball and give him the green light to work 2 jobs.
For weeks, people have been wondering why Scott hasn't been popping up on their smartphones to host the daily trivia show ... and we've learned it's because the "Quiz Daddy" left HQ in the dust after striking out in his quest to add a new nightly MLB show and keep his HQ gig.
Scott's last appearance on HQ Trivia was March 24 ... right before he announced he was accepting a second hosting gig with DAZN's new show called, "ChangeUp."
Sources at HQ Trivia tell us, Scott was trying to work out an arrangement to stay on as the weekend host for HQ, but CEO Rus Yusupov wouldn't budge.
For his part, Scott tells us there is anything but hard feelings. He tells TMZ, "Nothing in my decade-plus entertainment career has meant more to me personally and professionally than my involvement with HQ." He couldn't be more grateful for all the people who grew the co., and for the "HQties" who kept it thriving.
He states, "While the decision to leave HQ was a difficult one, I am delighted to begin this next chapter in my career with the amazing people at MLB and DAZN. If you miss me on HQ, you can now get three hours of me every weeknight watching ChangeUp on DAZN."

Department of Health Policy
To demonstrate statewide commitment to providing California's children and their families with a better system of care, we invite you to affirm our Key Principles:
Early intervention is critical to healthy development. California faces a crisis regarding the social, emotional, and developmental health of our children. We must invest in early and proactive interventions to protect and promote the well-being of our children.
California needs to widen access to behavioral health supports. Children and families need access to a range of behavioral health approaches and strategies that nurture social, emotional and developmental health.
Racism and poverty contribute to health inequities across California. Improving children's and families experiences and addressing health inequities, structural racism, and multi-generational poverty perpetuated in current systems are central to improving child well-being in California.
Collaborative and accountable systems change is the way forward. We need an integrated and coordinated statewide redesign of our child-serving systems that holds itself accountable to children and families.
The time for change is now. We have a unique opportunity–right now– to change California's policies, financing and fragmented service delivery systems to improve children's behavioral health and well-being.
Join us in demonstrating your support for these Key Principles.

Those of you who are not such great fans of love have something in common with the thrash metal band Bullet for My Valentine. The heavy metal band is no fan of the cupid and they make it clear by their very name. Their music has given a whole new dimension to the lovesick younger generation of our time who has found something they can relate to in the music of Bullet for My Valentine. For the band members and many fans of the band, love stinks and they are all just too sick of it. They do not make any secret of it, as it is pretty explicit in the very name of the band. The band gained considerable success covering mega hits songs of bands like Nirvana and Metallica. The live concerts of this band are simply mind blowing, especially when they cover such popular bands.
Bullet for My Valentine have been the headliners in some major rock and metal festivals since they are one of the coolest heavy metal rockers who light up the stage. The audience goes mad as soon as they take up the stage which is why they are one of the most liked live performers in heavy metal with an ever increasing fan base. The heavy metal bands, more than often, gets very little limelight so it is particularly tough for heavy metal bands to make it big in the mainstream. A very few lucky ones do however create ways for themselves. Bullet for My Valentine may not have any intention of going either mainstream or away from heavy metal but they sure have hit some big numbers but to their credit, their fame is increasing day by day.
Before there ever was a Bullet for My Valentine band, there was a John Killed John band which served as a forerunner for the new band. Matthew Tuck got together with his buddy and laid the foundation of this heavy metal band in 1998 and that's when this band started music. Even though the band was practically making and recording songs since 2002, their debut album was not released until 2005. Their debut album, which was called The Poison, received positive responses from the Metal Hammer and Big Cheese. The album included a total of thirteen singles, four of which went to perform quite well on the Hot Mainstream Rock charts of 2005. The interesting thing about the album is that it was released on Valentine's Day in the UK. The name of the band and the very title of the album contribute to the record sales both in Europe in general and in the UK in particular.
The album did great on the Billboard charts as well where it landed at the 128th spot right after its release. The album's outstanding performance in the US accelerated its international performance as well as the album ranked 11th on the Independent Albums chart. The album produced four outstanding singles like All These Things I Hate (Revolve Around Me), Suffocating Under Words of Sorrow (What Can I Do), 4 Words (To Choke Upon), Tears Don't Fall etc. Shortly after its release, the album was certified gold. The band has released three albums to date which means they have plenty songs of their own to perform on live concerts.
Despite the release of their three highly successful albums, the band still likes to pay tribute to legendary bands like Metallica, Nirvana, Megadeath, Iron Maiden, Machine Head and many others which the band cites as an influence. With the band performing some mega hits of popular bands and their own as well, any given Bullet for My Valentine concert can be a double treat for just about any heavy metal fan. If you too want to have oodles of fun then grab your Bullet for My Valentine tickets and enjoy.

Toronto is a city that has pretty well abandoned the CFL. The Argonauts have a tough time attracting fans — by far, they had the lowest average attendance during the season — and this year's Grey Cup game on Sunday has been plagued by slow ticket sales. By mid-October, only about half the tickets for the Canadian football championship between the Ottawa Redblacks and the Calgary Stampeders had been sold, forcing Toronto organizers to lower ticket prices. Despite this desperate measure, there were plenty of tickets still available at the start of Grey Cup week.
BMO Field has a seating capacity that has been expanded from its regular 27,000 to about 35,000, which is small by modern Grey Cup standards. On the other hand, more than 53,000 fans took in the 2012 Grey Cup indoors at Rogers Centre on the 100th anniversary of the championship game, when the Argonauts defeated the Stampeders 35-22.
It's a sad state of affairs for a city that has had a storied Grey Cup history, including being the host of the first ever championship game. The city of Toronto has hosted the most Grey Cup games in Canada with 48, including 30 of the first 45 games played.
The Grey Cup was originally to be a prize awarded for hockey, but Sir H. Montagu Allan had beaten Lord Earl Grey, the Governor General of Canada (1904-11), to the punch. The Allan Cup would come to symbolize excellence in amateur hockey. Faced with this dilemma, Grey — also known for the tea named after him — then had the option of making his cup available for supremacy in amateur rugby-football.
Because he was given the next best thing in amateur sports in Canada, the governor general may have forgotten to commission the making of the new cup. Two weeks before the championship game, he had to be reminded that a cup was to be made available to the winner. Yet, no one had placed an order with the silversmith at Birks. Consequently, the University of Toronto, winners of the first Grey Cup over the Toronto Parkdales, 26-6, before a crowd of 4,000 (the total gate was $2,616.49), had to wait a few months before they had the actual cup in their hands.
And when they received the cup valued at $48 (now estimated at $60,000) from Lord Grey, the university side was surprised to see that a plaque on its base proclaimed that the Hamilton Tigers were the 1908 Canadian rugby-football champions even though the idea of a championship cup had only come about in 1909. The trustees of the cup recognized the plaque was invalid but decided to do nothing about it.
In 1948, Calgary fans packed all 16 cars of the nation's first Grey Cup train. One car was devoted to square dancing "and enough horses (16) to stock most self-respecting stampedes," according to The Stampeder Story by Gord Hunter and Keith Matthews. The party lasted from Calgary to Toronto and back again.
A Calgary Herald headline on November 26, 1948, proclaimed, Stampede Special Thunders into Toronto, disgorging 200 thunderous fans at Union Station from 17 cars. "At the drop of a 10-gallon hat, they pulled off a square dance in the station's cavernous rounds ... there was more than one raised eyebrow among Homburg-wearing suburbanites on their way to downtown offices."
When a weak cheer arose at the Toronto train station from the back ranks for the Ottawa Roughriders, the Stampeders' opposition in the 1948 Grey Cup, the Calgarians and the ex-pats from the western city living in Toronto, who came out to greet the train, simply ignored the "puny effort." While their fans may have appeared less blusterous than Calgary's, Ottawa was declared to be an 8-5 favourite to win by local bookies.
This year's 104th Grey Cup is a rematch between the two cities, although the Ottawa team is named the Redblacks, not the Roughriders.
"Toronto had never seen anything like it," wrote Hunter and Matthews. "They square danced all over the place ... brought their horses into the lobby of the Royal York Hotel and had barbecues on any convenient street corner."
Open pancake meals were held at city hall and normally-staid Toronto mayor Buck McCallum rode a horse in the Saturday parade, the first Grey Cup parade ever and organized by the Calgary fans.
"It's the best show I've seen here in a long time," said the Toronto mayor.
Someone described the week-long party as football and Mardi Gras all rolled into one.
Toronto's Varsity Stadium could only hold 20,000 people and demand far outstripped the number of available seats (a far cry from this year's version of the Grey Cup). In fact, "no football ticket" signs hung from agency kiosks — the game was a sell-out.
"One desperate individual advertised in morning newspapers that he would buy three tickets — and throw in three rail seats for Saturday night's National Hockey League game as a bonus.
Most scalpers in 1948 were charging $5 for a $1 ticket. Some single $1 tickets were even selling for $25, an exorbitant price at the time. Those caught and arrested for scalping tickets received 10-day jail sentences under a city ordinance.
The game itself was deemed "a great show," but it was marred by a touch of controversy. For one, Ottawa player Pete Harpuk had ignored a ball tossed in his direction in the fourth quarter thinking it would be ruled an incomplete forward pass. But after a Calgary player scooped the ball up and ran into the end zone, sealing a 12-7 victory, the officials on the field blew their whistles to signal the play dead. Instead, they ruled it a "wild lateral" and the touchdown stood.
Then there was the infamous "sleeper play" involving 20-year-old Norm Hill, a Winnipegger playing for Calgary. Quarterback Keith Spaith completed a pass on one side of the field to Woody Strode, while Norm Hill (born in Winnipeg) flopped on the ground on the opposite side of the field. Hill was essentially hidden when the next play began. He sprang to his feet and before Ottawa could react he caught a hurried pass from Spaith and fell backwards into the end zone for a touchdown. The controversial "sleeper play" was banned by the league in 1961.
"This is where the politicians should be and see how the country is run — this is what Canada is all about and we're one big happy family from coast to coast," said fan Ragnar Staf during the Grey Cup festivities in 1948.
Winnipeg also contested in Toronto the only game that was played over two days. The Bombers were leading 28-27 over the Hamilton Tiger-Cats in the "Fog Bowl" of 1962 at Toronto's CNE Stadium when, with 9:29 remaining, the game was called because fog obscured the ball and players. The next day, no points were added and the Bombers were Grey Cup champions.
Toronto organizers have promised this year's game will be a sell-out by the start of Sunday's game, but having to scramble to put people in the stands for Canada's "National Party" is a shameful outcome for a city with such a storied Grey Cup history.

On September 4, 2016, Clay's friends and family gathered at Trestle Bike Park in Winter Park to honor their friend and loved one. Clay was well known by many in the downhill community, and Winter Park was pretty much his second home. He spent his time shredding the trails he loved, as well as coaching juniors at the resort. The event was filled with those who Clay called family, all there to celebrate his life and the memories he left. In true Clay fashion, we commenced upon the resort, took upon lifts, hit the trails! April gave friends small glass vials of Clay's ashes to be spread in whatever way they felt best expressed their memories of Clay. April said "Clay's friends have always been his family to him, today his family remembered him like they knew he would want to be remembered." - bike, cheers, and lots of smiles. The day was such a success it was given an offical title and will happen every year in September.
Save the date for September 2017 and please follow us on Facebook for updates on this and other events.


Discussion in 'Food & Cooking' started by eloki, Jun 7, 2010.
So I bought some soft-shell crabs (frozen, in a box) from a japanese shop the other day. Never cooked them before, so I was thinking of doing something with it tomorrow. I'm thinking of just dusting them with seasoned flour & panko & deep frying them for a start. Any tips / recipes on different ways to cook them?
Don't know what state they are in, as I have never used frozen . If they are cleaned etc. If not use large sissors remove tail, cut across front and remove eyes, turn over flip up both ends(called wings) and remove transparent cartalege. I pan fry mine dipping in seasoned flour. You could use crumbs or not up to you.
PS/ Some chefs leave eyes in,my clustomers do not want them looking at them?
fried is great, sauteed is great too....crab on crab, buy claw or lump meat and serve ontop of the fried/sauteed soft shell. remoulade is a natural with it.
+you could also add a touch of tomato to the remoulade, I don't but you could.
a quick roll in cornmeal is another thought.
Alot of sauces out there, oyster sauce, I must try that.
Japanese style is also nice.
Use a tempura batter rather than a breading before deep frying. Serve with ponzu as a dipping sauce or better still, granish with mitsume (thick "eel sauce").
Combine all in a small pan. Set over a low flame and slowly reduce to a nappe consistency, roughly a 60% reduction. Remove from fire and allow to cool. Note that sauce will continue to thicken as it cools.
I would make soft shell crab sushi - an extra large roll. Delicious with cucumber & carrot.
I agree! You could make lots within 15 minutes and it would still be yummy! Oh my now I'm craving for sushis.
I used to work on the Maryland Eastern shore and have cooked and served literally thousands of SS crabs..I tried using frozen crabs once. It was horrible. I have never used frozen ones since. I would make sure you taste one before you serve them to guests.
I am a fan of soft shell crabs, but have never prepared them. I have researched how to clean them, and that seems straightforward enough. I plan on breaking them down into manageable pieces, then sauteeing with capers, garlic, shallot, lemon, and asparagus, then tossing with some pasta (for final results see this month's challenge thread!). Here's the question - what do you guys think about adding anchovies to the mix? I feel like the salty briny deal would pair well with the rest of the ingredients, but I am fearful that they, together with lemon and capers, could overpower the soft shells.
Just bouncing ideas around while I sit at work and wait for quitting time and thought I'd see if you guys had any input! Thanks in advance.
soft shell crab sushi, the crab should be cooked, not raw.
dcarch - hopefully those two posters who talked about the soft shell sushi will see this, but FYI it's a three year old thread that I just added to with my request for suggestions with that recipe.
Either way, it is sound advice to not eat them raw!
Sushi from previously frozen crab? Sounds like it could be hit or miss.
Unless you have a good idea about how they were handled and processed, I'd either bread them or tempura them as well.
I have had soft shell crab most traditional ways, but coated in beaten egg and fried whole in a fryer is the best way I have had them. Both in the states and in Japan. Served with just a bit of soy sauce. My mouth is watering so much now.
