After Duke assistant Steve Wojciechowski was offered the head-coaching job at Marquette on Tuesday morning, he called his boss of 15 years, Mike Krzyzewski.
My first question to him was if he had any interest in being my associate head coach and doing halftime interviews, Wojciechowski said, drawing laughs at the news conference in Milwaukee introducing him as Marquettes coach. Surprisingly, he said no and that I couldnt afford him.
After the initial joke was out of the way, Krzyzewski gave his longtime protégée some real advice: Be yourself. With that, after a whirlwind 24 hours that included an interview, a job offer, feelings of excitement and anxiety and tears of sadness and joy, Wojciechowski, 37, signed on for his first head-coaching job. Details of the contract were not available.
Jon Scheyer is expected to take Wojciechowskis position with the Blue Devils. Scheyer, 26, graduated from Duke in 2010 and joined the staff as a special assistant prior to this season. The Blue Devils are expected to take their time finding a replacement for Scheyers position.
Until this season, Wojciechowski worked primarily with Dukes post players. That changed this season, as assistant coach Jeff Capel worked primarily with the post players (with assistant coach Nate James helping Marshall Plumlee in particular), and Wojciechowski worked mainly with the guards and perimeter players.
Wojciechowski, the associate head coach who graduated from Duke in 1998, is the second longtime assistant to leave for a head-coaching opportunity in as many years. Chris Collins, a 1996 Duke grad, left after 13 years to take over at Northwestern in 2013.
Steve gave his heart and soul to me, our program, our community and Duke for 20 years, Krzyzewski said in a statement released by Duke. He was a vital part of the successes we have had. He made me better every day, and I know that he will make Marquette and the Milwaukee community better every day.
Michael R. Lovell, Marquettes president-elect, said Wojciechowski was the only finalist without head-coaching experience. Interim athletics director Bill Cords spoke highly of Wojciechowskis experience as a Duke assistant, which included 2001 and 2010 national championships, and his work with USA Basketball in 2006-12. USA Basketball chairman Jerry Colangelo, along with Krzyzewski, provided Marquette a powerful endorsement of Wojciechowski, who called Tuesday the proudest day of my basketball life.
Marquette, which does not have a football team, spent $10.7 million on its mens basketball program in 2012-13, according to the most recent U.S. Department of Educations equity in athletics data. Thats more than most programs, including Indiana ($10.2 million) and North Carolina ($7.8 million). The Golden Eagles compete in the Big East Conference a fact Wojciechowski cited as a plus.
The fact that its a basketball conference, I love that, he said. And I dont know how you couldnt love that if youre a basketball coach. A lot of times things are driven so much in todays day and age by football. To come to a place where basketball is the thing, where there are so many storied traditions and great schools, is something that Im incredibly excited about.
Wojciechowski replaces Buzz Williams, who left after six seasons to become coach at Virginia Tech. The Golden Eagles had their streak of eight consecutive NCAA tournament appearances snapped this year.
Duke has been great for me. Its the place where I grew up, I have amazing relationships and its a place that made me better every day. So, I wasnt going to leave for just any job, Wojciechowski said. I was only going to leave for what I thought was the perfect job for me. And I feel like Marquette is that place.

Certain years in recent American history are generally considered to be a time of cataclysmic change and upheaval - 1968 for example comes to mind as emblematic of the 1960's as a whole. Other years are relegated to a much lower profile in history books and unless it happens to be the year that you were born, rarely celebrated at all. Fred Kaplan, a Slate columnist, has dusted off the year 1959 and written a fascinating account of this pivotal year that did much to shape our current world in 1959: The Year Everything Changed.
In 1959 the first microchip was introduced by Texas Instruments and the "pill" as in birth control pill was submitted to the FDA for approval by pharmaceutical manufacturer Searle. The so called "sick comic" Lenny Bruce appeared on the Steve Allen show in April of 1959 and Mort Sahl was getting rave reviews on stage in San Francisco for simply reading and commenting on articles in the daily newspaper. It is easy to trace the comedic breakthrough that gave way to George Carlin, Richard Pryor, Eddie Murphy and Chris Rock. The phrase "beatniks" (a play on Sputnik) coined by Jack Kerouac was an apt description of a movement that foreshadowed the hippie movement of the 1960's and equally important Howl by Allen Ginsberg and Naked Lunch by William Burroughs were also published in 1959. The jazz album Kind of Blue was released by Miles Davis that same year and is often described as a seminal jazz work and the cornerstone of any jazz collection. The author unfortunately gives short shrift to other music genres but his riff on jazz is well worth reading regardless of your musical tastes. Two major events of the 1960's - the Vietnam War and the Civil Rights movement are of course a part of the author's analysis of the year 1959. In 2061 will 2011 be considered a historic year or just be a minor footnote as the 10th anniversary of an earlier historic event - 9/11?

Blumenthal-like Fries (Best Fries/Chips/Frites)
Iirc he boils the potatoes in water, dries them, then fries them in oil. I don't know any place here that does it this way.
I like the fries at stackhouse, personally. and the pont-neuf style fries at pourhouse and the lounge at hawksworth.
re: fmed
That sounds interesting.
Your love for that fry style is one of the few areas we don't agree on, fmed! I did not love the fries at Hawksworth so prolly wouldn't like the Pourhouse ones. Haven't tried Stackhouse yet as I've kind of given up on burgers in Van. Too spoiled by being able to get them done to order in SF and Portland...
re: fmed
I would be very surprised if anywhere in town had a similar process to Blumenthal. Just checked my copy of In Search of Total Perfection and he boils the chips (cut to about 1.5 cm thick) to the point where th ey nearly fall apart, then cools them in a fridge and then twice fries them in peanut oil at two different temperatures.
The Pourhouse might be somewhat similar to this.
re: peter.v
Agree Peter. I can only imagine what the Heston fries would be like not having had them. The ones at Pourhouse and Hawksworth are fluffy (almost like mashed potatoes) inside and crispy with a thin fried skin on the outside. That is how imagine Hestonfries to be. ( I have to add that I haven't been to Pouhouse in quite a while so I don't know if they still do it in this pont-neuf style. I was at Hawksworth fairly recently and they still serve it that way.)
IIRC, the frozen fries at Costco are processed to have a starch slurry frozen onto the fries. This turns into a crunchy crust when deep fried. I think it goes through a brining process prior to this as well which seasons them throughout and changes the texture to soft and a bit mealy.
re: fmed
BTW - here is a technique from the Modernist Cuisine team - a 40kHz ultrasonic bath followed by starch infusion: http://modernistcuisine.com/recipes/s...
re: fmed
re: sillewater
I don't think this method is in the book.
Well we were just at Pourhouse tonight and I was not able to order the pont-neuf style fries - only generic (and quite mediocre) frites. Maybe it is off the menu permanently or temporarily because it is Dine Out? (I forgot DOV was happening actually). Anyway- that's my report.

Attention antique automobile drivers interested in participating in the Branford Veterans Day Parade. We have been in contact with Veterans Parade Committee Chairman Whelan, and have published the following information about participating on our Calendar page (http://home.comcast.net/~shorelinesteve/SAACCalendar.html): (oops, Patch isn't letting me do this in one post... See the following post...) Looks like it'll be nice weather for it tomorrow. Thanks again Chairman Whelan for the gracious invitation, and of course THANKS VETERANS.
Steve from SAAC November 10, 2012 at 01:07 PM
UGH: First half: NOVEMBER 11, 2012, Sunday, Branford – Branford Veterans Day Parade, downtown Branford. Quoting from the postcard dated 9/5/2012 that we received from Branford Veterans Parade Committee Chairman Dr. Frank Whelan: "…Hi Steve, As Chair of the Branford Veterans Day Parade on 11 November 2012 at 1:30pm on the Cenotaph at the rear of Town Hall, we would be honored if you and your group could participate again, as usual. Parade starts at the corner of Montowese and South Main Street. Hope to see you all there!... Best, Frank Whelan, Chair…" Chairman Whelan also provided these additional details about the schedule for the day: "…Branford Veterans Day Parade… Assembly at 1:00pm… Services at 1:30pm at the Cenotaph at the rear of Town Hall; parade step-off shortly thereafter."...
Steve from SAAC November 10, 2012 at 01:07 PM
Second half: ..... Thanks so much to Chairman Whelan and the entire Branford Veterans Parade Committee for the gracious invitation to antique automobiles to participate again this year in the Branford Veterans Day Parade. We greatly enjoy participating and feel honored to be able to help pay tribute to our town's and our country's military veterans. Here is our online report on antique auto participation in the 2011 Branford Veterans Day Parade: http://home.comcast.net/~shorelinesteve/BFDVETS11/Report.html . Additional notes - As I recall from last year, Chairman Whelan requested antique autos to stage along the side of Montowese, facing south toward the South Main Street intersection (the parade itself starts on South Main Street when the civic groups and marching units conclude the ceremonies at the Cenotaph). Antique autos then join in from there. (this event was added to this calendar as of 9/10/2012)

Say what you will about Whitney and Bobby, but they were devoted to each other.
The night of Whitney Houston's death, I typed her name in Spotify, hoping that her voice might fill the empty space. As often happens after artists pass away, her work seemed suddenly transformed, resonating with new layers of meaning.
The song "Heartbreak Hotel" brought to mind the Beverly Hilton where the singer's body was discovered in a fourth-floor bathroom—and where Clive Davis's pre-Grammy party went on as scheduled later that evening. "I Have Nothing" was almost too much to bear, with Whitney singing "Don't make me close one more door; I don't want to hurt anymore."
But perhaps the most wrenching song of all was "My Love Is Your Love," from her 1998 album of the same name—the strongest of Houston's later recordings. Hearing young Bobbi Kristina say "sing, Mommy" at the top of the song was hard enough, but then Whitney went ahead and sang these words: "If tomorrow was judgment day, and I'm standing on the front line, and the Lord asked me what I did with my life, I will say I spent it with you."
Those poignant lyrics sent my mind flashing back to the evening of August 28, 2004. I had been invited to dinner with Whitney and Bobby—along with Bobby's brother Tommy and his father "Pops"—by Tracey Baker and Wanda Shelley, the producers of the hit reality show Being Bobby Brown. What was clear to me then remains clear now.
And on this bittersweet Valentine's Day, which falls just three days after Whitney's Houston's tragic passing, and one day after Bobby faced a ravenous mob of reporters while trying to get to his daughter's bedside, it is worth repeating the truth: In good times and in bad, in sickness and in health, Bobby and Whitney were hopelessly devoted to each other—truly, madly, deeply.
Upon entering the dimly lit Atlantic Seafood restaurant in Alpharetta, Georgia, the R&B star once known as "King of the Stage" greeted me with a warm handshake. He was wearing a black fitted cap, baggy jeans, black boots, and a black Iceberg shirt with the Tasmanian Devil cartoon character on it. "Hi! I'm Bobby Brown," he said. "Have you met my wife?"
'[Bobbi Kristina] is ready to record now,' Bobby said with fatherly pride. At which point Whitney, who hadn't been saying much until then, shook her head and said 'NO!'
At first it seemed like a ridiculous question—his wife was, after all, one of the most famous recording artists in history—but on second thought I realized that the correct answer was "no."
Whitney's hair was up and her tight jeans had light-blue Japanese characters artfully scattered here and there. She looked fit and beautiful, her model physique still very much intact at age 40. But she also seemed restless. There was no trace of inner calm, that "greatest love of all" that she sang about finding inside of her so many years ago.
"My wife will have salmon and steamed rice," Bobby told the waitress. When his sushi platter arrived, Bobby politely sent it back so the eel could be cooked a bit more. Then the couple got back to discussing their daughter's ambition to follow in her parents' footsteps and become a singer. "She's ready to record now," Bobby said with fatherly pride—at which point Whitney, who hadn't been saying much until then, shook her head and said "NO!"
"Whitney doesn't want it," Bobby continued.
"Sheee-it," Whitney whispered loudly, leaving unsaid all the hard lessons she had learned since signing her first recording contract at age 20.
Bobby kept going: "I don't think there's a better industry—only because I love it. I love it. I love everything about it. I got caught up in the press part of it, you know, the bad press, the good press. It really doesn't matter. As long as you spell my name right, talk about me. It doesn't matter to me. As long as [Whitney] knows who I am... it really doesn't matter what other people think about me."
Whitney then looked up and said, "You would think he is a bad man—a bad, bad man."
"You'd really think I was a bad person," Bobby chimed in.
Then, making the sound of a game-show buzzer, Whitney added: "I'm the crazy one!"

News and opinion about video games, technology and the internet
It may not be dead, and it's entirely possible I'm shoveling dirt on something that's still writhing around, promising me it is in fact the next big thing, but I'm now deaf to its cries. Google Plus is a failure no matter what the numbers may say.
25 million users in barely a month is nothing to sneeze at. Google Plus holds the honor of being one of the fastest growing websites in history, and these early numbers had analysts screaming that Facebook would be all but dead in a few more months.
But today I click on my newsfeed and see tumbleweed blowing through the barren, blank page. It's a vast and empty wasteland, full of people who signed up but never actually stuck around to figure out how things worked in this new part of town. One simple click takes me back to Facebook, and my wall is flooded with updates and pictures from 400+ friends. This just isn't a contest, and it never will be.
To know why G+ has failed, we must first look at how Facebook succeeded.
Facebook had exclusivity on its side, a once-upon-a-time fact we're only reminded of when we watch The Social Network, but even when it expanded past college to the general population, it was a hundred times more user friendly and visually streamlined than MySpace. That site was destroyed by the tackiness of its own users with a propensity for glitter text GIFs and autoplaying pop songs, and when it failed to evolve, the exodus to Facebook was massive and unstoppable.
Conversely, we look at a recent failure, this time where Google came out on top. When's the last time you got THAT frustrated with the Google search engine? Sure, you might not find what you wanted on occasion, but 99.99% of the time, it fulfills its function exceedingly well. So why on earth would anyone feel the need to switch to Bing? It may work yes, but to the average user, it doesn't offer anything above and beyond what you'd find with Google, and in some avenues, is actually worse. But how many millions were invested in the idea? Did they really think they had come up with something to unseat the emperor of search?
Now Google has fallen into the same trap with Plus. If anyone is annoyed by Facebook, it's simply that they're tired of using it. Their gripes aren't from the layout, or even the privacy settings, as much as internet outrage over the suspect Terms of Service would have you believe. Google can launch a product that fixes Facebook's issues, and even looks a touch nicer to boot, but its biggest flaw is simply something it can't overcome. It's not Facebook.
My profile tells me everything I need to know about Google Plus, and I suspect the same is true for many others. As active as I am in social media and the latest and greatest internet trends, I have 26 people who have added me into circles, only 8 of them being people I wanted to add back, as for all Plus's claims of privacy and intimacy, I don't know most of the others. Out of those, only two post anything at all to the site, and the majority don't even have profile pictures yet, an indicator they haven't returned since day one. My recommended friends list is filled with people I'm actually close with, presumably pulled from my Gmail contacts, but the fact that we haven't added each other yet describes just how little we care about this new network.
I concur that this article is premature, but for all the frenzied (and occasionally asinine and insulting) heaps of self-righteous rage tossed the author's way, you've almost all failed to address a key point:
G+ traffic is down, week-to-week, when right now it should be EXPLODING.
Yeah, yeah, sure, "it's invite-only." You can "only" invite 150 (one hundred and fifty!!!) people at a time. I'm sorry, if that's "invite-only" then you're existing in a world of desperate technicalities. That's open. Try selling one of your invites on eBay.
I have a fully fleshed out profile. I have a ton of people in my circles, and a ton of people have me in theirs. My news stream is pretty much entirely Guy Kawasaki and Robert Scoble.
And, you know what? I already have Twitter. I don't need two Twitters. Having a second Twitter that was also kinda Facebook-ish — which is, to me, what G+ aspires to be — would be awesome, but…well, much as I'd love to, I can't force my friends to come over and start interacting with me on G+. Which leaves me with…Robert Scoble and Guy Kawasaki.
And, again, I already have Twitter. And there I've already got a list I made of about 250 geek pundits that I follow, and I'm not about to go re-make the same list on G+ when…I already have Twitter.
So…I already have Twitter, and while many of my friends have G+ accounts none are using them, and G+ traffic is down week-to-week when it should be booming but…
…I'm sure you're all right, G+ is an unstoppable boomtown, with its declining traffic totals. That is totally evidence of imminent success.
…or I'm sure you're all right, they "aren't trying to beat Facebook" or they "don't need traffic to succeed." Right. That's totally right.
This is way to funny!!!
Check just this conversation on G+ about this Forbes article. There are more than 130 comments right now.
It shows how much this article completely missed the point. Maybe someone can point to an equivalent conversation on Facebook?
You probably won't find an equivalent conversation on Facebook, because people don't use Facebook to talk about Facebook.
I wouldn't say their isn't space for another social network. That does come with some fine print though. They have to be innovative. They have added a dimension with circles, but we will have to see what else they do to differentiate themselves from FB. There are some that won't change, grandparents, slow adopters and such. It depends on how well the faithful few are convinced that this is the next big thing. The faithful few can become their evangelists and win over the slow to adopt. The people who were slow to adopt only joined Facebook because everyone else was doing it. It became so widely used that it became a social norm to have an account. Can Google create enough excitement to bring over the slow to adopt users?
I respectfully disagree with Paul Tessi. The weakest argument he makes here is, "No one is going to scrap a social network they've spent 8 years building up to start over from scratch for one that offers only a few minor improvements."
Should Google have spent 10 years building THE perfect alternative to Facebook before launching Google +? Clearly, Paul forgot how many feature changes Facebook went through since launching. I've been on Facebook since 2004. It's changed a lot. Google + will also evolve. In fact, it's already evolving.
Google is optimizing Google + as it learns how users use it. For the longest time people didn't "get" Twitter either. It's mainstream now. I use it more than I use Facebook.
This is also false: "… Google Plus, effectively a duplicate of Facebook…" Google+ is not a duplicate of Facebook. It has a different use. It approaches social networks differently— more like how we interact with people in "real" life, and if one can't see that then he or she is clearly not the intended user.
Paul: Just because you are not the intended user doesn't mean you should write an article claiming that Google Plus is going to die.
This is sensationalized journalism, at best, to increase readership. Not cool.
i think it's early to sound the death warrant, but I think it's intuitive to non-fanboys that G+ is a yawner.
I'm in Silicon Valley, and work in tech, but I like to believe that I represent Joe Public – why should the public care about G+ over Facebook or Twitter?
Really – explain it in 20 words, because if you can't deliver something awesome & revolutionary, then join the ranks of product managers who have to drink their own kool aid and eat their own shitty dog food
greatersociety is holding strong to that sinking ship and takes offense to your eulogy. This was a well written insider experience from a man standing in a now empty field saying "Huh, pretty quiet in here." I look forward to your articles. You are an intelligent and insightful thinker. Don't let the peanut gallery tell you otherwise.
You have failed in the whole experiment. You have ignored the fact that you must engage yourself to have anyone actually care to engage back. You have ignored the fact that Facebook is still on the downslope. (You do remember the 6 million users lost in a single month… expect that to become exponential)
While I imagine that you are probably above average in intellect… I would venture that you are not overly outgoing and lack that social skill. This is not a bad thing and I am not saying that you are socially inept nor am I trying to put you down. I am merely saying that the fact that you are not overly outgoing caused you to not foresee how that would effect the outcome of your experience.
It is the same reason that the developers that run and maintain your site are unable to create a form verification that is insightful to the end user. Their lack of social skills and thinking that everyone should know what they are thinking has led them to make it so that your username can only have lowercase letters or numbers in it, and if you put in any uppercase letters it does not tell you what field they are even talking about, nor does it take you to the correct field to fix after displaying an incomplete message.
I would suggest that they fix it. As I suggest that you take a second stab at G+ and actually put yourself out there. Otherwise you will be one of the few remaining when Facebook reaches MySpace status, then again… perhaps that is what you would like. Do as you will but don't spout out dribble as if it were fact. Especially under the Forbes name. For shame.
You seem like a smart man which is probably why you can not see the relevance of outgoing social skills in this whole mix. You have to put yourself out there and engage others for them to bother to engage you back. At the very least you need to post something that is interesting.
As in face to face communication if you never say a thing or only say things that no one cares about how much are they really going to say back? You guessed it zero… hence your blank feed.
The same lack of social skills is the same reason that the developers that run and maintain this site do not understand how to properly write a form verification. To sign up for this site you are allowed to choose a username. So you fill out the form using standards that are pretty much universal and you get a message saying that only lowercase letters and numbers are allowed. No mention of which field the message pertains to and they don't take you to the field they want you to fix. They just figure that you can read their minds. It is just a lack of experience in interaction with other people that are different from ones self and how an average person would expect things to work.
Now I am not saying that you are socially inept, nor am I trying to put you down at all. What I am trying to get through to you is you failed right off the bat at this experience by not participating. You thought that like on Facebook you could just take a back seat and peoples lives would just pass before you. You didn't realize that they don't have to share anything with you and they can single you out. People want to interact with people that are actually going to interact back.
As for Facebook, it is still on the decline. Perhaps you have already forgotten about the 6 million exodus in one month – expect that to become exponential.
I urge you to give it another go and actually interact. Then again perhaps you want to stay with Facebook as it makes it's way to the likes of MySpace. Either way just don't post dribble as if it were fact and expect people to just eat it up, especially under the Forbes name. For shame.
Ahhh Forbes your developers suck at UX. Paul… that is not your fault.

John Roy Winther, Jr., 67, well-known Alaskan businessman and fisherman and long-time resident of Petersburg, passed away on October 15, 2012 in Mesa, Ariz. following a battle with cancer with his wife, Berta, and daughter, Theresa, by his side.
John was born on November 12, 1944, in Fairbanks to John Roy Winther, Sr., and Jane Wood Winther. He spent his childhood in Juneau, then returned with his family to Fairbanks to be close to his mother's family, which settled there in 1899. John graduated from Lathrop High School in 1963 then attended junior college in California and Washington.
He decided to pursue his passion of becoming a fisherman, following in the footsteps of his paternal grandfather, father, uncle, and several great uncles, including Olaf Winther and Gudmund "Gudy" Winther, with whom he was particularly close.
He settled in Petersburg in 1972 where he began fishing with his uncle Olaf on the F/V Fremont, which he later purchased. Shortly thereafter, he fished the F/V Constitution before embarking into the Bering Sea crabbing industry.
In 1974, John and partner Collin Martens built the F/V Theresa Marie, which at the time was the pride of the Southeast Alaska crab fleet, and was operated by partner and nephew Wayne Winther from 2002 until it was sold in 2010.
In 1984, John ventured into longlining with the purchase of the F/V Prowler. He partnered with Bart Eaton and Jerry Kennedy, and the trio began building what became Prowler Fisheries and later Alaska Longline Company, running the F/V Prowler, Bering Prowler, and Ocean Prowler. In 2000, the company partnered with the Aleutian Pribilof Island Community Development Association; in 2009, it acquired two vessels and fishing rights in a company expansion; and this year it launched the construction of the F/V Arctic Prowler.
John was very active in business ventures and volunteered in the private and public sectors. He was a director of Icicle Seafoods (1980-1992), North Pacific Fisheries Management Council (1983-1989), and Alaska Industrial Development and Export Authority (2003-2011). He also founded Ultrastar Exploration and Winstar Petroleum.
John was well known for his dedication to the commercial fishing industry and was highly regarded by the Alaska congressional delegation. He forged relationships over the years with U.S. Sen. Ted Stevens, U.S. Sen. and Alaska Gov. Frank Murkowski, U.S. Sen. Lisa Murkowski, U.S. Rep. Don Young, and Alaska Gov. Bill Sheffield.
He was preceded in death by his father, John Roy Winther, Sr.
John leaves behind his loving wife, Berta "Bert" Winther, of Seattle; daughter Theresa Winther and granddaughter Stella Asplund of Petersburg; mother Jane Pryor; brothers Rick Winther and Dale Winther, all of Fairbanks; aunt Jirdes Winther Baxter; and cousins Fred Baxter, Ron Baxter, Gary Baxter, Terry Baxter, Sandra Dunn, Sherill Baxter, Leslie Winther Dumont, and Jensine Winther Hayden.
A memorial service is planned for October 27 at 1 p.m. at Magnolia Lutheran Church, 2414 31st Ave. W., Seattle. A reception will follow at Anthony's Homeport Shilshole Bay, 6135 Seaview Ave., N.W., Seattle.
In lieu of flowers, the family suggests donations in John's name to one of the following organizations or to a charity of choice: An Oasis of Healing, contact firstname.lastname@example.com; University of Washington Department of Otolaryngology—Head and Neck Surgery, Otolaryngology HNS Research Fund, PO Box 359505, Seattle, 98195; Coast Guard Foundation, www.coastguardfoundation; or the Seattle Fishermen's Memorial, PO Box 17356, Seattle, Washington, 98127.

Men from Shiloh: The Best Man guest starred Desi Arnaz and James Farentino and featured normal Doug McClure as Trampas. For those unaware, Men from Shiloh was merely The Virginian renamed and slightly re-focused for its 9th year on the air.
What I bear in mind most from this 90 minute episode is the song Take a Look Around. It is just a fantastic piece of music and apparently, it was particularly written for McClure by his friend, Tim Morgan. The song also turned up later on Alias Smith and Jones. To be honest, the scene where Trampas is out riding with the female lead and the song is played uninterrupted in full is worth the entire show that's how much I like it.
Arnaz plays El Jefe and is okay but it is just not the sort of role I enjoyed seeing him in. Farentino fares a bit much better. His very first scene with McClure when they are out shooting is somewhat fun, although I'm not confident it was a very good opening moment since it went on too long.
The show revolves mainly around a enjoy triangle so it is fairly typical, but I need to admit that I do like Trampas' answer at the end, which worked nicely.

Whether your father is alive or dead, Father's Day is a day to remember, sometimes the bad times as well as the good. But still, a time to remember.
"All of My Friends Are Dead "
I am glad that you were not here or alive to have seen the slaughter
of the towers and the people, the funeral pyre, crematorium,
the place where you once proudly worked for Schatz Painting Company,
a master painter, painting walls and trim,
a part of the birth of those two tall buildings.
It is because of you that I returned to the towers just two days before
the destruction, back home after your death, to a city where
you did not want to return, All my friends are dead, you'd say,
living in the past, where your days passed outweighed your days to come.
I remember as a child looking up as you'd leave each morning in white, instead
of carrying a stethoscope, your father's wish, you carried a scraper and a brush,
dressed in the color of angels. Through that death and destruction,
I see you, a phoenix from this fire, for every New York breath I take,
you are ever present.
Mary Crescenzo
"For Father's Day"
There are two kids who live on the planet Dream.
Twins, each with eyes of sparking green
who are kind and smart and never mean
and whose age is somewhat in between
two boys and a girl - who are ours, separately,
and these twins belong to you and me.
Their hair is raven with curls galore
and music is something they adore.
They play and sing and dance
in their very own way
and even practice everyday!
I don't know their names (you tell me!)
but to our family, now of three,
we have added two and that makes five,
a brood of kids while we're alive.
And although our parenting styles may clash,
something we never do is lash
out with hands or words or time,
and still the twins are just sublime.
They're bright and beautiful
and healthy and driven,
and manners and commitment are always a given.
In this perfect world they inspire the others
to have plans and goals and long-term druthers.
But in the real world on this Father's Day
our kids may not be perfect in every way,
still, we love them for all that they are
and we dream together that they'll go far.
Still, it's nice to imagine
I had twins - yours and mine,
and their birth was natural and painless and divine.
That one night in our life under the stars
we made the magic that created two children of ours.
And even though you're a father without me,
I wish you a Father's Day, as great as can be.
And through the years, hopefully,
our three real children shall become true family.

Lukah Chang is put into the back of a police car Aug. 28 after being arrested while hiding at the convention center in Pendleton, Ore. Chang is scheduled to appear in Umatilla County Circuit Court on Wednesday for the 2012 killing of a hotel maid and the beating of a woman. (E.J. Harris / East Oregonian via AP)
PENDLETON, ORE. — A Marine Corps deserter is to appear in court in Pendleton on charges he stabbed to death a motel maid and severely beat a woman on a jogging path.
Lukah Chang is scheduled to appear in Umatilla County Circuit Court on Wednesday.
He was arrested last August after police recognized him from surveillance video from the jogging path.
The stabbing of motel maid Amyjane Brandhagen had stymied police for a year until DNA evidence from the motel room was linked to DNA from the pipe used in the beating on the jogging path.
After he was arrested, Chang told investigators he had been a Marine Corps meteorologist, and was wanted for desertion after getting on a bus at Camp Pendleton, Calif., and never going back.

Among other things, the BERZERKER™ Viking Fighting system includes:
BERZERKER™ Viking Fighting is without a doubt the most advanced hand-to-hand combat system in the world today. The system is an ancient - but modern - eclectic fighting system utilizing only the best and most effective techniques and fighting strategies employed by the Viking Berzerkers.
The Berzerkers (or Berzerks) were Norse warriors who had sworn allegiance to the god Thor and worked themselves into murderous fury before a battle. Berzerkers fought with crazed or drugged strength, heedless of danger. They worked themselves up into a bloodlust – berzerker rage – before battles, banging their helmets with their weapons, biting their shields, and howling. They were said to be immune to pain (or even immune to weapons) in battle. In their fury they would attack their enemies but also everything else in their path, sometimes even their own people and allies. Many northern kings used berzerkers as part of their army of hirthmen and in their royal bodyguard.
The brutal fighting arts employed by the berzerkers were handed down from father to son through the generations. Unfortunately, after centuries of great warfare and raiding, the berzerker culture started to wane. The berzerkers stayed known as long as they kept their Viking faith, but when they slowly but safely started to become christians, they soon became one with the united, and more peaceful, christian Europe.
However, elements of the old faith and the secret fighting arts remained - and have been kept alive until this very day by a small but dedicated group of extraordinary men. Today, these arts are known as BERZERKER™ Viking Fighting Arts, and they are still being taught to select individuals by the last BERZERKER™ Viking Fighting Supreme Grandmaster and Inheritor of the Horned Helmet, Grandmaster Sven S. Svensson.

Seth MacFarlane, creator of the irreverent Fox animated hit Family Guy and director of the equally irreverent big-screen comedy Ted, will host the 85th Academy Awards, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced Monday.
"We are thrilled to have Seth MacFarlane host the Oscars," telecast producers Craig Zadan and Neil Meron said in a joint statement. "His performing skills blend perfectly with our ideas for making the show entertaining and fresh. He will be the consummate host, and we are so happy to be working with him."'
The choice of MacFarlane, who hosted the season premiere of Saturday Night Live last month and also created the animated series American Dad! and The Cleveland Show, continues an effort by the Academy to attract a younger audience to the Oscar telecast.
Billy Crystal hosted this year's ceremony after original choice Eddie Murphy dropped out. The previous year, James Franco and Anne Hathaway co-hosted the event.
"It's truly an overwhelming privilege to be asked to host the Oscars," MacFarlane said. "My thoughts upon hearing the news were, one, I will do my utmost to live up to the high standards set forth by my predecessors; and two, I hope they don't find out I hosted the Charlie Sheen Roast."
MacFarlane, an accomplished singer and aficionado of Hollywood musicals, earned a pair of Grammy nominations last year for his debut album "Music Is Better Than Words," which included his take on songs by composers Lerner & Loewe, Richard Rodgers, Sammy Cahn and others.
"Seth is unbelievably talented," Academy President Hawk Koch said. "We couldn't be happier with the creative team we've assembled. With Craig, Neil and now Seth, we're off to a great start."
The ceremony at the Dolby Theatre is scheduled for Feb. 24.

Even at an early age, Cheryl Day was a passionate and practical advocate for agriculture. Check out her viewpoint on current agricultural topics.
As a child of family that owned the local Gran Elevator in the late 1980s, the memories of the stress drought placed on the farm families and the businesses of the agriculture community came flooding back. I now know the true anxiety my parents endured during that time period. Until the final grain is harvested, our family or the world will not truly know the financial impact the drought of 2012 will have on our livelihood or the world's economy. Will the farmer be able to put food on his table and everyone else's?
As a farmer, we take great care in utilizing the latest technology to increase yield on the same acreage without depleting the natural resources we were blessed with on our farm. We are the biggest gamblers because farmers bet the house on the hand Mother Nature deals us. However the world's best soil, supreme genetic seed package, and newest equipment cannot raise a record crop demanded by a growing population without rain. Every year the growing season presents challenges some years are just larger obstacles than others.
Our family is luckier than some parts of Illinois, we actually have corn and soybeans to harvest. The corn yields for the area have ranged 90 to 170bu per acre compared to our normal 180 to 250bu per acre. Farmers of the 1988 will tell you that 80bu Corn was golden. Only thing that has change is utilization of sound science. Biotechnology has changed the genetic package of the seed allowing it to endure extreme environmental factors.
2012 will go down as the widest spread drought throughout the Corn Belt since the 1980s. The world will feel the impact from grocery items derived from our commodity to the meat counter to corn plastic. As a livestock producer, the long-hot summer still taunts my goals at raising outstanding breeding animals to serve as foundation genetics for the beef industry. Similar to all farmers and ranchers, our family is facing hard decisions and exercising our strategic planning that will hopefully help us to weather the storm.

Myth: One major leads to one career.
Reality: Choosing a major in an important decision, however, major does not equate to career! Your college major does not prepare you for one single, specific job. Instead, it seeks to develop your skills and aptitudes so that you can apply them in a broad variety of careers.
Myth: I must stay with one major once I make my decision.
Reality: The majority of college students change their major at least once and many change their minds several times over the course of their college education.
Myth: There is only one major right major for me.
Reality: There are most likely a number of majors in which you could succeed. Selecting a major that fits your interests, skills and values and then combining this with leadership, internship and extracurricular activities is the best strategy to prepare for success.
