It’s CLICK – AND SAVE! new to me. I got distracted, wore a green linen shirt, and headed in for meetings. Wouldn’t you know it: the decision came in, for Franken, as everyone expected. This meant we had to go live, and as strange as it sounds for a newspaper to go live, that’s what we do: wrangle a journo, pat the face, hook up the mike, and go. I got the decision a few minutes before we went on, got cross-eyed at the legalese, had another cup of coffee, and off we went. What fun. There was even real BREAKING NEWS handed to me during the broadcast, and if I tried to resist saying This Just In, I don’t think I managed. At the end of the day I went to pick up daughter, and stopped at the nearby Humane Society to see the dogs. No, Jasper’s fine.

A few of the dogs had signs July 2013 on their pens indicating they’d be sprung tomorrow by a new family, but this could be the shelter version of Carousel in “Logan’s Run.” (Or the Lottery in June 2013 “The Island,” which I watched last night.

Why do humans form such kinship bonds with dogs? Oh, gosh, I don’t know. Afterwards I got the kids and took them all home, entertaining them on the way with the story of Amazing Amanda. It was a life-sized doll Natalie had a few years ago. It talked. It knew what day it was. It gently admonished you if you gave it cookies for supper. It was hellspawn, and sometimes we’ll make up dialogue for Amanda expression all sorts of evil deeds in the same singsongy innocent voice. By the time we’d gotten halfway home we had Amanda burning down houses because “Fire is pretty.” I made the neighbors pretty too, mommy. Then piano; I sat in the hallway and tried to stay awake.

But it’s still unclear. I revived myself with a flagon of coffee, but I’m still beat and ready for nothing. The week is shaping up to contain an absolute train-wreck of work on Thursday – I have to give another Powerpoint talk, do the TV news thing, AND write a column, quaint as that now sounds. And I’ve been “tasked” to another Top-Secret Thing, this one code-named . PHASE 2.

It ISN’T her arm. It is the arm of a poor unfortunate who got TOO CLOSE! Patty hasn’t yet gulped her prey into her gut to be digested. YUM! Tastes like chicken. hpoulter says: July 1, 2009 at 6:13 am According to the “Word Detective” blog, the words “jinx” and “jinks” (as in “high jinks”) are not related. He says this about “high jinks”: The “jinks” in “high jinks,” meaning “playful, rowdy activity” or “disruptive pranks or unruly behavior” comes from a slightly different Scots dialect sense of “jink” as a noun meaning “game” or “prank.” Apparently “high jinks” in the 16th century was a drinking game (at the time also known as “high pranks”) in which the loser in a throw of dice had to perform a silly task (or drink a certain quantity of alcohol).

The Social Psychology of Missing Possessions A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Sociology by Brandon Lee Berry 2012 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Lost! The Social Psychology of Missing Possessions by Brandon Lee Berry Doctor of Philosophy in Sociology University of California, Los Angeles, 2012 Professor Jack Katz, Chair For most, the loss of a material possession is an infrequent occurrence usually prevented through a variety of vaguely noticed practices and routines. For the sociologist, the occasion offers a natural experiment in how individuals deal with a sudden threat to the order, expectations, and material scaffolding sustaining their usual way of life. Drawing on 600 naturally-occurring cases of loss collected through observations around lost and found booths and counters, interviews with individuals recruited through lost and found websites, and guided journaling by college undergraduates about their everyday misplacements, this dissertation explores the social impact of a missing possession. Tracing losses from the moment of their discovery, I show how losing parties must carve out space from their ongoing biographies if a loss is to gain foothold as a social matter. In taking up the theme of ‘a loss’ as a matter to resolve, individuals will act to ensure that their immediate activities will go on as planned, that they will maintain untroubled ii relations with others, or that they will feel “complete.” Yet a central paradox is that the object’s loss may disturb them even while they concede its dispensability.

IRONIC FEMINISM: RHETORICAL CRITIQUE IN SATIRICAL NEWS A Dissertation Presented to the Graduate School of Clemson University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy Rhetorics, Communication, and Information Design by Kathy Elrick December 2016 Accepted by Dr. David Blakesley, Committee Chair Dr. Jeff Love Dr. Brandon Turner Dr. Victor J. Vitanza ABSTRACT Ironic Feminism: Rhetorical Critique in Satirical News aims to offer another perspective and style toward feminist theories of public discourse through satire. This study develops a model of ironist feminism to approach limitations of hegemonic language for women and minorities in U.S. public discourse. The model is built upon irony as a mode of perspective, and as a function in language, to ferret out and address political norms in dominant language. In comedy and satire, irony subverts dominant language for a laugh; concepts of irony and its relation to comedy situate the study’s focus on rhetorical contributions in joke telling. How are jokes crafted? Who crafts them? What is the motivation behind crafting them? To expand upon these questions, the study analyzes examples of a select group of popular U.S.

Pender FIRST PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH, 5/19/19 Exodus 3:1-12: Moses was keeping the flock of his father-in-law Jethro, the priest of Midian; he led his flock beyond the wilderness, and came to Horeb, the mountain of God. 2 There the angel of the LORD appeared to him in a flame of fire out of a bush; he looked, and the bush was blazing, yet it was not consumed. 3 Then Moses said, “I must turn aside and look at this great sight, and see why the bush is not burned up.” 4 When the LORD saw that he had turned aside to see, God called to him out of the bush, “Moses, Moses!” And he said, “Here I am.” 5 Then he said, “Come no closer! Remove the sandals from your feet, for the place on which you are standing is holy ground.” 6 He said further, “I am the God of your father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.” And Moses hid his face, for he was afraid to look at God. 7 Then the LORD said, “I have observed the misery of my people who are in Egypt; I have heard their cry on account of their taskmasters. Indeed, I know their sufferings, 8 and I have come down to deliver them from the Egyptians, and to bring them up out of that land to a good and broad land, a land flowing with milk and honey, to the country of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Amorites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites.

John Wayne turned down the lead, suggesting James Arness (who remained for its entire run). Originating on radio (with William Conrad as Dillon), it moved to TV in September 1955. Its popularity spawned a number of copycats, but none would enjoy the longevity (and few the consistent quality) of this classic. Airing for 20 years, it's TV's longest running prime-time drama (a record that `Law & Order' is currently chasing).

Some of the major findings werethat overall, about 77 percent of time is devoted to program contentand 23 percent to announcements of various kinds; thatcommercial announcements (CA's)--product and program promotion--accountfor almost 19 percent of total time; that there were morecommercials within programs than between programs; that CA's were evenlydivided among four major categories--toys, cereals, candy, and other foods;that CA's appear to have both sexual and racial biases;and that little product information is given in the CA's. Otherfindings were that noncommercial announcements were primarilyeither youth-oriented or for medical or environmental causes,and some of these did not appear to be appropriate for children.Also, when individual cartoons and other program segments were studiedin detail for subject matter, it was found that 64 percentof the dramatic programming was in some sense violent, while 67 percentof nondramatic segments dealt with science and technology, race and nationality,literature and fine arts, and nature.. However, 77 percentof total programming was drama, with only 12 percent informational.(SR) 19sic5003 " r Iv U.S.
