It's always been a money maker for Pauley - Tony's father, Johnny Soprano, had control over him before him - but a new parish priest believes that the $10,000 Poly contributes as the church's share is too low and believes $50,000 would be more appropriate. Pauley shies away from that figure, at least in part, he says, because his own spending is rising. One thing he does to save money to hire a second course of carnival rides, something that comes back to haunt him when one of the rides breaks down and people get injured. Pauley is also under a lot of stress after his doctor dislikes the results of his PSA test and is planning a biopsy. When Christopher's girlfriend Kelly tells him he is pregnant, he asks her to marry him. He is still struggling with his addiction however and falls off the wagon.

Recording the domestic dramas and business anxieties of family living the bourgeois life in a pleasant New Jersey suburb, The Sopranos is a saga of middle-class life in America at the turn of the century. Chronicled in twenty-six hour-long episodes, the first two seasons from the series will be shown in two four-day sequences at The Museum of Modern Art, from February 3-13 at the Roy and Niuta Titus Theatre 1. "The Sopranos is a cynical yet deeply felt look at this particular family man," remarks Laurence Kardish, Senior Curator, Department of Film and Video, who organized the program. "David Chase and his team have created a series distinguished by its bone-dry humor and understated, quirky, and stinging perspective - not usually seen on television." Renowned for his savvy profiles of power players in the media, Ken Auletta will join David Chase for a discussion of The Sopranos at The Museum on February 12. The Department of Film and Video gratefully acknowledges HBO for making the series available for public viewing.

  • Our First 100 Years College of Education 1906-2006
    1 Dean’s Welcome Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire. –William Butler Yeats arely does one have the opportunity to be the presiding dean as the first 100 years come to Rclosure, and it’s certainly not an experience I will be privileged to have again. The history of this college is rich with examples of educational innovations and stories that inspired generations of alumni and friends of the College to light their own fires across the many career and life paths they have chosen. In the opening Foreword, former dean Ben Nelms does a wonderful job of setting the tone for readers as they journey back through decades of change. We hope this booklet will become a cherished keepsake that preserves people’s memories of the first 100 years, as the College of Education at the University of Florida gears up to meet the challenges of the 21st century, and celebrate its Bicentennial in 2106. Catherine Emihovich Dean, 2002-present 2 3 Foreword lumni of the University of Florida College of Education have vivid memories of the College and recount them with obvious relish. They Aremember Norman Hall, its weird nooks and crannies, cavernous classrooms, yellow tile and wood paneling, its historic facade, graceful live oak, and — graduates from more recent years — New Norman and the courtyard. But more important, they remember people, the faculty especially: sometimes the eccentric, the cranky, the colorful, but usually the master teacher, the accomplished professional, the lasting influence, names of nationally known figures and beloved leaders around the state.

  • In This House It's 1954: the Representation of Women In
    “IN THIS HOUSE IT’S 1954: THE REPRESENTATION OF WOMEN IN THE SOPRANOS by SUSAN ALEXANDRA KAHRS (Under the Direction of Peggy J. Kreshel) ABSTRACT The Sopranos, an HBO Original Series, is one of the most popular programs on television. This thesis will examine the representations of women in The Sopranos. Grounded in cultural studies, feminist theory, and feminist media studies, this research was based on a number of assumptions. First among these is the belief that meaning is socially constructed and never fixed, but constantly produced and reproduced. Second, culture can only be understood in relation to issues of power. Third, popular culture is a site of struggle, and fourth, that it is essential to understand how media help shape the values, norms, and beliefs that reinforce gender inequities. Finally, research is a political act. A textual analysis of seasons 1 and 4 uncovered how patriarchy is the dominant ideology on the show. The Sopranos presents a rigid, regressive form of patriarchy where traditional roles, including the mother figure, were fractured and dysfunctional. INDEX WORDS: Patriarchy, Gender roles, Cultural studies, Feminism, Feminist theory, Circuit of Culture. “IN THIS HOUSE IT’S 1954:” THE REPRESENTATION OF WOMEN IN THE SOPRANOS by SUSAN ALEXANDRA KAHRS B.A., Erskine College, 2000 A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate Faculty of The University of Georgia in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree MASTER OF ARTS ATHENS, GEORGIA 2005 © 2005 Susan Alexandra Kahrs All Rights Reserved “IN THIS HOUSE IT’S 1954:” THE REPRESENTATION OF WOMEN IN THE SOPRANOS by SUSAN ALEXANDRA KAHRS Major Professor: Peggy J.

Williams School of Graduate Studies Appalachian State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS December 2015 Department of English “SPEAK ABOUT DESTRUCTION”: REPRESENTING 9/11 IN THE SOPRANOS A Thesis by VITO V. PETRUZZELLI December 2015 APPROVED BY: Craig Fischer, Ph.D. Chairperson, Thesis Committee Germán Campos-Muñoz, Ph.D. Member, Thesis Committee Başak Çandar, Ph.D. Member, Thesis Committee Carl Eby, Ph.D. Chairperson, Department of English Max C. Poole, Ph.D. Dean, Cratis D. Williams School of Graduate Studies Copyright by Vito V. Petruzzelli 2015 All Rights Reserved Abstract “SPEAK ABOUT DESTRUCTION”: REPRESENTING 9/11 IN THE SOPRANOS Vito V. Petruzzelli B.A., Rutgers University M.A., Appalachian State University Chairperson: Craig Fischer Broadly definable as an interdisciplinary study of televisual texts, literature, and history, this thesis analyses David Chase’s The Sopranos (1999-2007) and its engagement of the September 11, 2001 terror attacks. Tracing the show’s narrative and aesthetic roots to its pilot episode, I explore how narrative and aesthetic elements contained in 9/11 television newscasts elicited both an alteration and an exaggeration of the show’s structural and symbolic elements. Furthermore, I illustrate the impact of televisual mediation on the act of viewership, demonstrating the manner in which The Sopranos and 9/11 newscasts employed authoritative narrative perspectives as a means of disseminating vital information to viewers. Methodologically, I employ a narratological approach to show through close textual analysis how elements of location and sequential ordering inform the creation of unique story worlds, and how these story worlds operate symbiotically with viewers in creating meanings beyond the texts.

  • A Second Sopranos Packet Much Like 12 Episodes of the Sopranos, This Packet Was Written by Matt Weiner 37 Tossups with Powers
    Not Possible, Even With Computers: A Second Sopranos Packet Much like 12 episodes of The Sopranos, this packet was written by Matt Weiner 37 tossups with powers 1. Immediately after Tony is informed of this action, a semi-conscious man mumbles "the fish is in my pocket." The results of this action are discovered as a man yells "Yo, Einstein, you should have seen me at the hospital." Authorization for this action is given by the sly phrase "I don't know" after contrasting the target of this action with a man who put up storm windows. Along with a related action that causes another character to wear a (*) neck brace in the following episode, this action is the second event intercut with a performance of the Welsh song "Ar Hyd y Nos." The target of this action is smoking a pack of Marlboro Lights with a red lighter and hears the pun "hijack, bye jack" before receiving a "Moe Green special" in his bathtub. For 10 points, identify this murder committed by Mikey Palmice with Junior present, which targeted a friend of Chris. ANSWER: killing Brendan Filone 2. Patsy is initially confused by thinking Mr. Caputo is referring to these people taking over the poultry store. After being corrected for referring to these kinds of "pricks" holding Meadow "hostage" at Columbia, Tony says that Italians are these people "with better food." In the much-beloved Columbus Day episode "Christopher," one-off character Ruben the Cuban is accused of bias against these people. Dr. Reis idiotically reflects on some (*) "tough" examples of these people at the Melfi family's therapy session.

    A professor clearly based on this real-life person tells his daughter that she “skipped the struggle” by working as a copywriter and abandoning her dreams of acting. On Mad Men, Megan’s father, Emile Calvet, is unmistakably based on this person. At a batting cage, Matt Bonpensiero tells A.J. that this person was a “fucking fraud” who “copped it all from Husserl and Heidegger.” For 10 points, name this Existentialist, subject of the Sopranos and Philosophy essay “Bada-Being and Nothingness.” ANSWER: Jean-Paul Sartre At the beginning of this sequence, a man driving says “Nobody ever went broke underestimating the taste of the American public,” after which Agent Harris opens the door to vomit. In part of this sequence set in Carmela’s spec house, Carmela shares a cigarette with Adriana, who subsequently disappears. The different scenes in this montage, including Janice breastfeeding her baby and Meadow dancing in her underwear, are connected by a voiceover enumerating concepts like “Ren, the secret name.” For 10 points, name this sequence featuring a voiceover from William S. Burroughs lecturing on Egyptian ideas about death. ANSWER: the Seven Souls sequence On a non-Sopranos show, this character breaks up with her boyfriend when she has to shoot a movie entirely in New Zealand. This character’s seatmate procures tiny bottles of Scotch for her after she is introduced screaming the C-word at a female male stewardess. This character splashes wine in a man’s face after Drama spreads the story that she jerked him off on a plane. Although I’ve never watched Entourage, entourage.fandom.com tells me that this person is Turtle’s love interest in seasons 5 and 6.
