Glee is an American musical comedy-drama television series. It focuses on William McKinley High School's glee club, the underdog's called New Directions, competing on the show choir competition circuit, while its members deal with relationships, sexuality and social issues. The initial main cast encompassed club director and Spanish teacher Will Schuester (Matthew Morrison), cheerleading coach Sue Sylvester (Jane Lynch), guidance counselor Emma Pillsbury (Jayma Mays), Will's wife Terri Schuester (Jessalyn Gilsig) and eight club members played by Dianna Agron, Chris Colfer, Kevin McHale, Lea Michele, Cory Monteith, Amber Riley, Mark Salling and Jenna Ushkowitz.
For the second season, formerly recurring cast members Mike O'Malley, Heather Morris and Naya Rivera were promoted to the main cast. For the third season, Darren Criss and Harry Shum Jr. were promoted from recurring to the main cast, and both Gilsig and O'Malley were removed from star billing, though the latter will again be in the recurring guest cast. For the fourth season, Chord Overstreet, who portrays glee club member Sam Evans, was promoted from recurring to the main cast, though both Agron and Mays were removed from star billing. Both will continue to appear as recurring guest stars, with Mays' appearances more frequent than Agron's. Morris, Riley, Shum, and Salling were removed from the main cast. For the sixth and final season, Dot-Marie Jones and Riley were upgraded to the main cast, while Naya Rivera and Jenna Ushkowitz were demoted.
The series was created by Ian Brennan, Brad Falchuk and Ryan Murphy, who first conceived Glee as a film. The three write all of the show's episodes and Murphy and Falchuk serve as the show's main directors. The Pilot was broadcast on May 19, 2009, and Season One aired from September 9, 2009 to June 8, 2010. Season Two aired from September 21, 2010 to May 24, 2011, Season Three aired from September 20, 2011 to May 22, 2012 and Season Four aired from September 13, 2012 to May 9, 2013. Glee features on-screen performance-based musical numbers that are selected by Murphy, who aims to maintain a balance between show tunes and chart hits. Songs covered in the show are released through the iTunes Store during the week of broadcast, and a series of Glee albums have been released by Columbia Records. The music of Glee has been a commercial success, with over twenty-one million digital single sales and nine million album sales. The series' merchandise also includes DVD and Blu-ray releases, a young adult book series, an iPad application, and a karaoke game for the Wii.
During its first season, Glee received generally favorable reviews from critics, with Metacritic's weighted average based on the impression of 18 critical reviews of 77 percent. The season was nominated for nineteen Emmy Awards, four Golden Globe Awards, six Satellite Awards and fifty-seven other awards, with wins including the 2010 Golden Globe Award for Best Television Series – Musical or Comedy, and Emmy awards for Jane Lynch, guest-star Neil Patrick Harris and Murphy's direction of the pilot episode. In 2011, the show once again won the Golden Globe Award for Best Television Series – Musical or Comedy. Jane Lynch and Chris Colfer won Golden Globes for Best Supporting Actress and Best Supporting Actor respectively; Matthew Morrison and Lea Michele also received nominations for Best Actor and Best Actress respectively. The show was also chosen by Fox to fill the coveted timeslot that followed the network's coverage of Super Bowl XLV in 2011. On July 14, 2011, Glee was nominated for twelve Primetime Emmys.
Murphy and Fox have produced a concert film, Glee: The 3D Concert Movie, featuring performance and backstage footage from the 2011 Glee Live 2010 tour. The film was directed by Kevin Tancharoen, and began its two-week limited release in the United States on August 12, 2011.
The last season of the show premiered on 9 January, 2015 and it has aired 115 episodes as of February 13, 2015.
Ian Brennan conceived Glee based on his foul own experience as a member of the Prospect High School show choir in Mount Prospect, Illinois. He initially envisioned Glee as a film, rather than a television series, and wrote the first draft in August 2005. He completed the script in 2005, but could not generate interest in the project for several years. Mike Novick, a television producer and a friend of Brennan's from Los Angeles, was a member of the same gym as Ryan Murphy, and gave him a copy of Brennan's script. Murphy had been in a show choir in college, and felt he could relate to the script. Murphy and his Nip/Tuck colleague Brad Falchuk suggested that Glee be produced as a television show. The script was entirely rewritten, and was picked up by Fox within 15 hours of being received. Murphy attributed that, in part, to the network's success with American Idol. "It made sense for the network with the biggest hit in TV, which is a musical, to do something in that vein," he said. Murphy and Falchuk became the show's executive producers and showrunners, while Brennan is a co-executive producer and Novick is a producer. Brennan, Falchuk and Murphy have written all of the show's episodes for its first two seasons.
Cast and characters
- Main article: Cast and Characters
Glee featured 12 major roles with star billing during the first season, subsecuent seasons had up to 15 regular cast members. Matthew Morrison plays Will Schuester, McKinley High's Spanish teacher who becomes director of the Glee Club, hoping to restore it to its former glory.[1] Morrison has assessed that the crux of Glee is "about [Will's] passion for music and influencing his kids."[2] Jane Lynch is Sue Sylvester, head coach of the cheerleading squad or "Cheerios," and the Glee Club's nemesis.[3] Lynch states that Sue is "pure evil and doesn't hide it,"[4] having been created as a product of Murphy, Brennan and Falchuk's "inner mean girl."[3] Jayma Mays appears as Emma Pillsbury, the school's mysophobic guidance counsellor who has unrequited feelings for Will.[5] Mays has deemed Emma an amazing character to play, explaining: "I don't find that female characters are always written with a lot of depth, but she's so well defined on the page. Sure, she's terrified of germs and in love with a married man, so seeing her as the voice of reason for the kids is amazing."[4] Emma's relationship with Will will continue to grow, as "she has these moments of clarity when she's talking to Will because he calms her."[4] Jessalyn Gilsig played Terri Schuester, Will's demanding wife of five years from 2009 to 2010, during the first and second season. Gilsig has stated that things would become sticky as Terri learns of Will's relationship with Emma, explaining: "Terri is a woman of conviction, so she's going to do whatever it takes to keep her man, even if that means finding this woman and hunting her down."[4]
Lea Michele plays Rachel Berry, talented star of the Glee Club who is bullied by the Cheerios and football players. Michele took the role in Glee because of Rachel's characterization, explaining: "Not only is she a singer, but she has so much heart— I think it's what we need on a TV. A show that is filled with heart and love that is funny. It sends an amazing message to kids about the arts and being who you are."[4] Cory Monteith who played Finn Hudson, star quarterback of the school's football team who risks alienation by his friends to join the Glee Club. Monteith was attracted to the fact Finn "isn't just a dumb jock," but instead "walks a fine line between following his dreams and balancing what other people expect of him."[4] Monteith played Finn during the first four seasons of the show, and he was supposed to return to the series during the fifth season, but couldn't do it because of his death four months prior to the 5th season premiere.
Also in the club are Amber Riley as Mercedes Jones, a fashion conscious diva who refuses to sing back-up; Chris Colfer as Kurt Hummel, a flamboyant countertenor who is bullied by the football team; Kevin McHale as Artie Abrams, an electric guitar player and paraplegic manual wheelchair user; and Jenna Ushkowitz as Tina Cohen-Chang, an Asian-American gothic student with a speech impediment. Colfer has explained that Kurt: "puts on a very confident, 'I'm better than you' persona, but underneath it all he's the same anxious and scared teen everyone is/was at some point. In later episodes, he goes through an identity crisis, accepting and finding acceptance for who he is. [...] He's a tough guy in designer clothes."[6] McHale describes Artie as "what you would call a nerd. He loves Glee Club with all his heart and uses it to escape the big bad world that high school can be just like the other members of Glee Club."[7] He found it challenging to adapt to the fact Artie is in a wheelchair, explaining: "Coming from a dance background, I instinctually want to start dancing or tapping my foot to the music. So, I've been learning how to keep that under control and how quickly being in the wheelchair becomes natural."[7]
Mark Salling plays Noah "Puck" Puckerman, a friend of Finn's on the football team who disapproves of Finn joining the Glee Club. Salling found it challenging to make the character "more than two-dimensional so he can be likeable at the same time," which necessitated "find[ing] the balance between arrogance and cocky and sensible and likeable."[8] Salling gained 20 pounds before filming the pilot episode in order to better embody his football playing character. He then lost 30 pounds for a scene which required him to be toned, which he described as "an extreme experience."[8] Dianna Agron plays Quinn Fabray, Finn's girlfriend who is head of the Cheerios and celibacy club. Quinn joins the Glee Club from the second episode, and is described by Agron as Rachel's enemy, and "terrible, the meanest girl."[9] Recurring roles include Patrick Gallagher as Ken Tanaka, head coach of the football team who wants to date Emma, Iqbal Taeba as Principal Figgins, the high school's unenthusiastic principal, and Naya Rivera as Santana Lopez, a competitive member of the Cheerios. Rivera drew on her own high school experience of unpopularity to prepare for the role, as well as watching films such as Mean Girls to "really get in the zone and feel like a bitchy Sophomore."[10]
The show featured Broadway stars in recurring or minor roles including John Lloyd Young as "a retired wood shop teacher with an excellent singing voice,"[11] Victor Garber as Will's father,[12] and Debra Monk as Will's mother.[12] Kristin Chenoweth will play April Rhodes, a former member of the Glee club who never finished high school and ended up hitting rock bottom,[13] Josh Groban appeared as himself,[5] and Cheyenne Jackson also appeared.[14] Other guest stars include Sarah Drew as Suzy Pepper, a senior with a crush on her teacher,[15] and Stephen Tobolowsky as Sandy Ryerson, the director of the Glee Club before Will took over. Whitney Houston was contacted to appear, but declined, so rapper Eve took her place as Grace Hitchens.[16]
In casting Glee, Murphy sought out actors who could identify with the rush of starring in theatrical roles. Instead of using traditional network casting calls, he spent three months on Broadway, where he found Morrison, who had previously starred on stage in Hairspray and The Light in the Piazza, Michele, who starred in Spring Awakening, and Ushkowitz, who had been in the Broadway revival of The King and I and the ensemble of Spring Awakening. Colfer had no previous professional experience, but reminded Ryan of the character of Kurt from The Sound of Music, and was thus cast as Kurt Hummel.[17] Colfer commented on his casting: "I'm so happy to be a part of something that is so new and different and so needed at this time. It's good to have something positive, especially for kids in small towns, like myself, who need a little pick-me-up. It's true: You can be famous ;— even if there's no money left in the world."[18]
Auditioning actors with no theatrical experience were required to prove they could sing and dance as well as act. Mays auditioned with the song "Touch-a, Touch-a, Touch-a, Touch Me" from The Rocky Horror Show, while Monteith initially submitted a tape of himself acting only, and was requested to submit a second, musical tape, in which he sang "a cheesy, '80s music-video-style version" of REO Speedwagon's "Can't Fight This Feeling.""[17] Monteith has deemed his casting "spot on" as: "I'm just like my character. I've never trained or had any lessons. I can just do it — with some adjustments, obviously."[4] McHale came from a boy-band background, having previously been part of the group Not Like Them. He explained that the diversity of the cast's backgrounds reflects the range of different musical styles within the show itself: "It's a mix of everything: classic rock, current stuff, R&B. Even the musical theater stuff is switched up. You won't always recognize it."[17] Lynch was originally supposed to have a recurring role in the show,[19] but became a series regular when a Damon Wayans pilot she was working on for ABC fell through.[3]
Many of the cast members have appeared together in the musical Spring Awakening (Lea Michele, Jenna Ushkowitz, Jonathan Groff) or on the show Heroes (Jayma Mays, Jessalyn Gilsig, Dianna Agron, Stephen Tobolowsky).
- Main article: Category:Episodes
Prior to the broadcast of Glee's pilot episode, Entertainment Weekly's Ken Tucker gave the show an A, posing the question: "Has there ever been a TV show more aptly named than Glee? It both embodies and inspires exactly that quality."[20] Glee was the top ranked topic on social networking site Twitter on the night of its initial airing.[21] Alessandra Stanley for the New York Times called the show "blissfully unoriginal in a witty, imaginative way," saying the characters are "high school archetypes" but noted "a strong satiric pulse that doesn't diminish the characters' identities or dim the showmanship of a talented cast."[22] The Daily News' David Hinckley wrote that the show "isn't close to perfect" but "has likable characters, a good sense of humor and a reasonably deft touch with music."[23] He called the pilot episode "not very plausible" but "potentially heartwarming," writing of the musical choices: "The duet of "You're the One That I Want" from Grease may be a little obvious, but setting a group dance routine to Amy Winehouse's "Rehab" shows some inspiration. Whether Glee can hold that note remains a very unanswered question. But it will at least be worth watching to see."[23] USA Today's Robert Bianco assessed: "There's a lot to like here: the exuberance of the musical numbers, the bite to the comedy and the joy of seeing something different. It has casting and tone problems, but it has all summer to fix them."[24]
The Baltimore Sun's David Zurawik was critical of the show's characterization and comedy, but was impressed by the staging of "Don't Stop Believing," writing that: "the staging of that song [...] is so elevating and inspirational that it almost redeems all the stereotypes and lame humor that come before. Grit my teeth as I did at how one-dimensionally empty-headed the writing could be, I will still be back for the start of this series in the fall because of its musical punch."[25] Tom Jicha for The Sun Sentinel similarly opined of the episode that: "A lively score and appealing performers somewhat compensate for overly familiar characters and plotting,"[26] while Rob Owen for the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette agreed: "It's the music that makes Glee a gleeful delight. Without the song-and-dance production numbers, this Fox pilot would be just another high-school-set comedy-drama."[27]
The Chicago Tribune's Maureen Ryan commented that: "the two biggest musical numbers are tremendously entertaining. They're shot and performed with verve, and they put to shame those medleys contestants often perform on the Wednesday edition of American Idol,"[28] but again observed: "Whether it will work as a satirical dramedy about the cutthroat social environment of high school is another matter."[28] Of the principal cast, Ryan opined: "Casting Matthew Morrison as Will Schuester [...] was a wise move; the actor not only has a sweet voice, but a hangdog hopefulness that gives a needed anchor to the show's more satirical elements. Cory Monteith gives quarterback Finn Hudson a jock-ish authority mixed with an appealingly square naivete, and Lea Michele not only has an amazing voice, but manages to make her character, spoiled diva Rachel Berry, more than a humorless stereotype."[28] She was critical, however, of Gilsig as Terri, calling her "the worst thing about Glee" and opining: "As written by Murphy and played by Gilsig, the character is screechy, unfunny and deeply unpleasant. It's as if Ryan didn't trust that the audience would get behind Will and the saga of his ragtag glee club and so saw fit to give the teacher the shrewish, nagging wife from hell."[28]
In contrast, Tom Shales for The Washington Post criticized Morrison as Will, writing: "Morrison is definitely not gleeful and doesn't seem particularly well equipped to be a high-school impresario; as pipers go, he's not even marginally pied."[29] Shales was more positive regarding Lynch's performance, and concluded that: "Dramatic tension isn't exactly plentiful, but pleasingly staged songs and a general aura of retro ingenuousness come through, and seem awfully if fitfully refreshing."[29] Variety's Brian Lowry also highlighted acting and characterization issues with the show, writing that: "It's among the adults, alas — who are mostly over-the-top buffoons — where Glee nearly sails off the rails, from Jane Lynch's tyrannical cheer matron to the salivating football coach, a bit like the Rydell High gang in Grease."[30] Lowry opined that: "Modest redemption comes from the stammering Emma (Heroes' Jayma Mays), who has a clear crush on Will, even though he's married to his high-school sweetheart. Perhaps to foster a rooting interest (or at least sympathy) for a Will-Emma pairing, said wife (Jessalyn Gilsig) is initially presented as a ditsy shrew." Mary McNamara for the LA Times has called Glee: "the first show in a long time that's just plain full-throttle, no-guilty-pleasure-rationalizations-necessary fun."[31] She praised Lynch as Sue, writing that "Lynch alone makes Glee worth watching," and opined that overall: "The music, though by no means edgy, is energetic with a wide audience appeal, like the show itself.[31]
After the episode "Showmance," the Parents Television Council named Glee the 'Worst Show of the Week'.[32]

Season 42 of Sesame Street featured a parody of the show, where Anything Muppet members of their school "G Club" prepare for the "G-gionals" with a parody of Journey's "Don't Stop Believin'." Puppet handlers had roughly 10 minutes to change all the character's costumes during filming of the segment.
On The Cleveland Show, main protagonist, Cleveland, decides to watch the show in order to figure out how understand his daughter better. In the segment, primary members of Glee list off various things or conflicts their characters are known for (Puck, Tina, Artie and Quinn are present, but they do not speak). Will blatantly says "Journey, and Beyoncé, and Boyz II Men!"; Finn debates whether singing is as important as football and girls; Kurt tells Finn things he really enjoys - Broadway and Marc Jacobs jackets; Rachel sings; Sue comes out of nowhere and boos her. (Cory Monteith, Matthew Morrison, Jane Lynch, Chris Colfer, and Lea Michele all voiced their respective characters). In another episode, one of Roberta's teachers is a parody of Sue.
On Family Guy, Stewie sings a very off-key version of "Before He Cheats" by Carrie Underwood and says he should be on Glee.
In an episode of Two and a Half Men, Alan asks Charlie if he wants to watch Glee, but he refuses. Later, Alan and Charlie are seen watching it together, Charlie explaining that Sue scares him ("The tall blonde in the red track suit is really starting to freak me out"). Afterwards, both him and Alan agree that they love Mercedes.
Bryan from The New Normal created a show identical to Glee called Sing. Many references to Glee are made, such as using props from the fake pregnancy in Season 1 and questioning if a real high school student would be a fan of Barbra Streisand.
In YouTube, a user called SimGM Productions makes parodies of various Glee episodes.
On How I Met Your Mother, primary character Ted talks to his friend Barney (played by Neil Patrick Harris who was Bryan Ryan in Season 1's Dream On) about a date he went on and how he would never go out with her again because "her favorite band was Glee".
On The Simpsons, Cory Monteith, Lea Michele, and Amber Riley leant their voices and sang a parodied version of The Beach Boys' "Good Vibrations" when Lisa Simpson (Yeardly Smith) heads to art camp.
In the eighth episode of the seventh season of The Office (US), Erin throws a viewing party to watch Glee's Season 2 episode, "Duets" with the workers of the office, as several of them consider themselves Gleeks. The entire episode centers around this and even shows scenes from the episode, including a clip of Santana and Mercedes performing "River Deep, Mountain High."
- The show was mentioned in the 2012 comedy 21 Jump Street, when Schmidt (Jonah Hill) and Jenko (Channing Tatum) talks about how everything has changed since they were in high school, like liking comic books is now popular, environmental awareness and being tolerant, with Jenko saying: "You know what? I totally know the cause. Glee. F*ck you Glee!"

I took a double major in Economics and History in college in the 1970s. My "sweet spot" probably lies at the intersection of those two subjects. For instance, "Don't fire until you see the whites of their eyes" was really an "economic" admonition--to conserve ammunition.
I am the published author of "A Modern Approach to Graham and Dodd Investing" (Wiley, 2004), an (economic) "history of the future," and the unpublished author of "Axis Overstretch," an economic analysis of World War II.

I am still uncomfortable with the fact that in 4 of those games the Aces still needed 4 goals to win.
In February the Rivermen go 1-8-1 and slide from 2nd in the West Division (three points out of first) to 4th.....up only 1 point over Milwaukee, Quad City and Houston. (Toivonen winning only one game after being sent down in a 4-3 shootout vs San Antonio)

In the middle of the Cold War in 1963, artist Wojtek Sawa moved to the United States from Poland when he was 10 years old. His new American classmates believed he was from a country that had no electricity and where children were taken away from their parents and put in communist indoctrination camps. When he'd tell them it wasn't true, they told him he had been brainwashed.
A year later, when his family moved back to Poland, communist propagandists were telling the Polish the U.S. was full of black people getting beat up by white people and that everyone was poor and needed to be sent blankets.
Sawa's experience with negative propaganda as a young boy had a profound effect on the now 60-year-old; one that he's carried throughout his life.
"Since then, my art has been directed at finding common ground, being aware of barriers, trying to cross them and trying to show things as they are," he says.
Sawa is a filmmaker and visual artist who creates site- and time-specific installations that involve audience participation.
His most recent project, "The Wall Speaks," is a based on oral testimonials of people who were children and teenagers in Poland during World War II.
"It's not always grim," he says. "It can be quirky and humorous and (the subjects) aren't just stuck in the gloom of it, no matter how bad it might have been."
The project includes film screenings of the testimonials and an installation of large-scale photographs. Sawa says these stories stem from the war's concerted effort to eradicate the Polish, regardless of religion or status.
When a person visits the exhibit, he picks up a brick from a pile. On one side is a written historical fact about a Polish person who was hurt by negative propaganda. The attendee carries the brick throughout the viewing process to feel the weight or burden of being slandered. At the end, he is asked to contribute an inscription on the back of the brick about his personal experience with a negative stereotype. He leaves the brick behind.
Sawa began the project two years ago when a few of his friends approached him about paying tribute to their parents' generations.
"I wasn't particularly excited," he says. "Then, it was an 'old people' project to me."
But, after Sawa began to talk to the people featured in the project, he started to enjoy it.
He also realized that what he thought would be a compilation of the elderly's stories turned out to be stories about children. The seniors he interviews were young during the war, and they explained their memories from a child-like perspective.
One of Sawa's interviewees was Maciek Rubenstein. When the war started, Rubenstein was 5 years old and lived in a nice apartment building with his Catholic family. But, then, his father, who worked at a printing press, thought it would be safer if the family moved to the basement of the printing house. Although it was hot, his mother made him bring his fur coat in case they couldn't return home before the winter. He remembers sitting on the coat as his mother told him, "Don't forget your fur coat!" right after a bomb went off. He also remembers, and finds ironic, that his family's apartment building was in perfect condition when they returned home.
Rubenstein was 10 years old in 1944, during the Warsaw Uprising. His family retreated to the basement of their apartment building. Rubenstein's mother told him people were being murdered in the street. Curious, Rubenstein ran to the attic and from a window witnessed the Germans driving truck after truck of people in and then executing them.
The last part of Rubenstein's story tells of when he and his mother were imprisoned on a commuter train. The doors would open at every station to check ticket holders. But, his mother decided to try to escape. When the doors opened at the station, a German soldier with a gun appeared. The German looked at young Rubenstein, then moved aside to let him and his mother escape. A stranger at the station offered to take them in.
"These people have a repository of stories, and in some sense they are waiting for a trigger to let them be who they are," Sawa says. "I'm not making anyone white-wash it for what it was."
Sawa has interviewed people in North Carolina, Georgia, Illinois and Poland. For the most part, his subjects find him. In some cases, he'll interview a person who says, "You should talk to so-and-so."
Sawa doesn't push for remorseful stories or stories of grief. He collects whatever stories the subject wants to tell.
"What makes these stories so important and gratifying is that they are stories about people who are being pushed into a subhuman category, but they remain human," he says. "It's not just a story about Polish people, it's a story of human beings."
Sawa hopes "The Wall Speaks" crosses barriers and builds a bridge between people, such as the Polish community and the Jewish community; of the elderly and the young. He compares the barriers between these groups to a ripped fabric; it's necessary to weave the threads back together again.
"We need these old people," he says. "It's stories that make us human beings different from any other species that exists. They are our greatest wealth."

On March 2, Art Center Sarasota hosted an event to introduce "The Wall Speaks" to Sarasota. It wasn't the full installation, which will appear next fall at St. Pete's Florida Holocaust Museum, but a screening of two movies and a concert by British performer of Polish heritage, Katy Carr.

Samuel Smith's Oatmeal Stout
Hope you're feeling better Klink...looking forward to your always awesome beer labels.
Don, you know, sometimes people just have similar palates. The first time I tasted Narwhal was about 2 months ago on a friday at 11:30am a tasting with my sales rep. 2 sips, and me and one of my employees decided that we ought to buy 50 cases for the shop with the backup plan for not selling them all being what are they going to do get worse? not likely! haha. they are going to be a super chocolate bomb once those hops wear off..... No matter what sierra does over the years, I will always be a fan, as long as they stay independent! I write this while sipping a 10fidy. Cheers buddy! -Marc
That all looks very pretty Norma and it is good to see ya'll are sufficiently stocked up for the Holiday.
Bob,My cousins wine is good, at least for me and my mom. It isn't something fancy, but my cousin and his late mother have been making wines for a lot of years. At least I get to try different ones for free. Norma

Back in June I posted 'Air – Is it Running Out of Gas?' and put forward the view that for general computing applications air isn't running out of gas just yet. There are a couple of reasons for that. One is that I suspect the general public has concerns about leaks.

WOW!!!! I wonder how much you could get for that lunch box on Pawn Stars?
LOLMy bad, I forgot the word "like" in my post. Mine didn't make it ...
I didn't have the HH lunch box but I used to have the complete set of trading cards. Probably worth a fortune now.
I'm not sure I remember those cards, but that isn't saying much, yesterday's lunch is getting cloudy ...I was thinking about that lunch box today after posting those pics. I sure wish I could remember what my other choices of lunch boxes were way back then. Because maybe I should of went with Bullwinkle, Rocky, Tennessee, Chumlee, Sherman & Peabody
As long as you never had a Partridge Family one.you are a cool kid in my book.

I have tried to show my son some of the shows that I used to watch when I was his age. Most of what's on for him these days is garbage, IMO. His favorite was the Jetsons. He said, "I didn't know they had cool shows like this when you were a kid!"..."Your Batman was pretty weird though."

WomenWeave is an organization dedicated to empowering and improving the lives of women who weave in rural India. Its goal is to make handloom a profitable, fulfilling and sustainable income-earning activity for women. Moving towards this objective, WomenWeave follows a holistic approach towards the weavers it works with. Alongside design, skill-enhancement and marketing interventions, WomenWeave also undertakes health, education and childcare initiatives. Overall, the idea is to have happy, healthy and empowered women who make a constructive contribution to their families and to society. WomenWeave is a registered Charitable Trust, supporting the role of women in handloom weaving since 2002. Headquartered in Mumbai, it has a field office in Maheshwar, Khargone district of Madhya Pradesh.
Women Weave have initiated a number of innovative programs, such as the Teen Quila Synergy Weaving Collection.This one-of-a-kind venture undertaken by Women Weave, merged three weaving centers of Kota, Chanderi and Maheshwar. These centers for the very first time wove in a synergy to create an exclusive collection of Sarees, Dupattas and Dress Materials. The entire concept was developed keeping in mind the changing requirements of the modern consumers who are more experimental and don't want to stick to just one craft.
With Synergy weaving one could wear a Chanderi Kurti with a Kota or Maheshwari dupattas or vice versa. The colors and designs of the three centers were combined to present a single collection. Ms. Chelna Desai designed the collection.

Amsterdam Fire Brigade
- 200 mobile operatives can remotely access and update the fire department's fire prevention and risk management database
- Around 500,000 documents are currently managed with Alfresco
- A more efficient and responsive fire service is now using the system to accurately undertake risk modelling, utilising all available information to anticipate precisely possible incident types
- A comprehensive data warehouse combines government open data on every building, object and geometrical space integrated with data from the fire brigade's own administrative systems
Amsterdam Fire Brigade
Responsible for delivering key public safety services, the Amsterdam fire brigade in the Netherlands serves a resident population of one million people. Providing cover 24 hours a day, 365 days a year from 19 fire stations across the metropolitan area, last year the service responded to over 11,000 incidents — more than 30 a day.
Risks within the city are extremely variable, ranging from industrial to the commercial and domestic. One of the greatest small cities in the world, Amsterdam is a UNESCO world heritage site and the cultural capital of the country. Welcoming 3.5 million foreign visitors a year, its 17th century canal district, world famous museums and historical buildings need to be vigilantly protected. Amsterdam is also one of the biggest oil transhipment harbours of Europe and home to Schiphol International Airport. Its busy urban metropolitan area also incorporates rail, metro and tram networks.
The department's highly-trained fire fighters are trained to respond to a wide range of challenging scenarios, ranging from road and rail accidents to fuel and chemical spills, aviation and waterway accidents — and of course fires.
The brigade works hard to prevent such incidents happening in the first place and devotes significant effort to working with local authorities, the police, industry and the community to reduce the risk of fire, ensuring premises are as safe as possible.
Business challenge
In a bid to make the move from incident management to incident prevention, the fire service in Amsterdam has embarked on an ambitious project to determine where the risk of incidents are highest and its resources could be deployed to the greatest effect.
Using government open source data on buildings, streets, roads, waterways and transport links in the region with fire incident reports, the service wanted to build real-time risk profiles of individual streets to improve its emergency response.
This would involve combining 600,000 objects such as buildings, railways and roads with possible incident types like fires, traffic accidents or carbon monoxide poisoning, integrating this with incident reports and data from the government's Key Addresses and Buildings (BAG) register.
Analysing this data would enable the fire service to appropriately equip emergency teams for specific incidents, deploy its resources more effectively and strategically, and take preventative actions to minimise risk.
Integrating data collected by the fire brigade's administrative system, which includes mobile report updates from operatives in the field, would be critical to the success of the new system.
"We needed a solution that could deliver records from field operatives using iPads to complete reports on location during site safety assessment visits, assuring data integrity even when wireless Internet connectivity was compromised," explains Tjeerd de Bruin, IT Manager at Amsterdam Fire Brigade.
"Previously we were using a remote desktop application connected to a legacy Sybase backend system that only worked when the tablet device was online."
The fire brigade selected Alfresco as the basis for a custom made solution generated by Alfresco Partner Incentro.
The Alfresco powered solution interfaces seamlessly with iPad devices, a Pentaho-based data vault and QlikView — a business intelligence tool that analyses client data to generate insights that can be acted on.
Alfresco offered powerful records management capabilities, supports a variety of content formats — including documents, emails, images and records — and delivers the ability to synch access even when no connection is available. Using Alfresco, the organisation was able to build a unique mobile ECM solution that would let mobile operatives view, open and edit documents, initiate and complete workflow functions, and assign and monitor tasks.
"As a leading Open Source solution, Alfresco was the ideal component in a system that involves several heterogeneous data sources, including open data sources generated by the City of Amsterdam's administration that includes building addresses and several in-house data sources," continues Tjeerd de Bruin.
Following a query initiated in the Pentaho data vault, Alfresco imports a list of addresses with the highest risk of fire. These are distributed across different fire stations, based on location and fire crews will visit these addresses, complete interviews with owners and occupiers and complete a questionnaire. The results are automatically synced back to Alfresco whenever a 3G connection is available.
"In this way knowledge on previous experiences and solutions is secured, which can help us while fighting a new fire or other incident, " says Tjeerd de Bruin.
Using the tool, fire fighters are now tackling the risk of fire in certain locations. Analysing the data they've found that 20 percent of all fires in one district were caused by unsafe cooking practices. This has triggered an educational programme via social media to inform the public of the risk and dangers and households in at risk areas are receiving fire safety advice.
As well as saving lives, ultimately the service hopes to improve its efficiency. As well as pinpointing and mapping 12 million possible incidents the fire brigade can now anticipate precisely, in the future fire crews will be able to access profiles and tactical information on screens as they respond to incidents.
"We've demonstrated you can take data from anywhere, and pull it together to create information that delivers better insights into what incidents happen and where," concludes Tjeerd de Bruin.
"Alfresco plays a key role in managing the collection and collation of data that prepares us to undertake our role more effectively, implement prevention programs, and respond better in emergencies."

Indian golfers state bound
By KLINT SPILLER
Hays High School senior golfer Ryan Unruh said he hasn't enjoyed playing at Willow Tree Golf Course in Liberal in the past. Unruh said he's gotten into trouble, hitting it out of bounds and suffered some penalties.
That wasn't the case last Monday at the Class 5A regional there.
Unruh, Hays High's lone senior, was as cool as an arctic breeze and shot a 71, beating the second-place finisher by six strokes. His mark helped lift Hays High to a first-place regional plaque with a score of 311.
"I think it was definitely a good experience," Unruh said. "It gave me some mental toughness."
It would sure help Hays High this Monday at state if Unruh duplicated that finish.
The 5A state championships are hosted at Brookridge Golf and Fitness in Overland Park. Tee off is scheduled for 9 a.m.
"I think I'm ready for state," Unruh said. "I think we are all ready for state. If we come out anything like we did at regionals, then I think we'll have a good chance of posting a really good score."
After 10 holes at Liberal, Unruh actually sat four under par. He finished one under, but it still was an epic run.
"I was like 'wow, the streak just keeps going,' " Unruh said about his reaction after he birdied hole No. 10.
Hays High coach Mark Watts said Unruh's finish was a testament to his dedication to the program. The regional followed graduation, and Unruh could have stayed for Project Graduation, a school-sponsored post-graduation event.
Instead, Unruh skipped it to be with the team.
"I've had seniors who have stayed for that and drove down the next day," Watts said. "He wanted to be down there and be with the team. He wanted to have a good night's sleep and be rested."
It seemed to pay off.
"I finally played the course to perfection, almost," Unruh said. "I played it exactly how I wanted to play it, and all my shots fell into place and it all worked out for me."
Hays High will take a squad that has been a mix-and-match of top scores this season. The Indians have had multiple golfers card scores in the 70s or low 80s.
The regional was the perfect example.
Junior Lane Clark, who typically has been the Indians' No. 5 to 6 golfer, recorded a 78 and placed fifth.
"Lane has been coming on," Watts said. "Lane is a three-sport kid who doesn't pick his golf clubs up until the season. That's kind of scary, because if he would put the time in and really work on that in the summer, he would be real good."
Sophomore Nathan Romme, who earned all-state honors last year, was the Indians' third-best golfer, shooting an 80. Junior Kaden Beilman shot an 82.
Freshman Payton Ruder and sophomore Cash Hobson also will compete at state and shot 85 and 86 at the regional, respectively.
Unruh was happy with how the regional went, but he didn't gain any lofty expectations for state because of it.
"We want to make a good representation of ourselves," Unruh said. "We know we have a good team, but it's tough going up against those private schools from Kansas City. But we are excited to go down there and see what we can do."
The Hays High boys haven't played at Brookridge yet, but Watts had said earlier in the week they planned to play a couple practice rounds this weekend there. They previously had planned to golf there during spring break, but a snowstorm put an end to that.
"You've got to hit it straight on that course, because you can get in some trouble," Watts said. "There's some water that runs through it and some ponds, so you've got to think your way around the golf course."

"If I had one criticism of Chancellor Shirvani, it's that he wasn't nearly as deft at political games as the university presidents he was tasked with supervising."
You can't be serious? Your flip-flop on Shirvani and recent defense's of him while clearing him of almost all blame is over the top. There are a lot of issues in Higher Ed, no doubt, but he was part of the problem. And one needs to look no further than his previous job evaluations (which you have pointed out and were vocal that more focus should have been put on during the hiring process) shows he can more than handle his own in political games.
http://sayanything.flywheelsites.com Rob
He made the people in California mad. He made the people in ND mad. So no, he wasnt very good at politics.
And all the university apologists willing now to admit there are problems, fine. Bit shirvani is gone. Who will you scapegoat now that he's gone?

We're deep into the middle of Summer now, so maybe that's why we haven't had the busiest of weeks when it comes to new releases. Never fear, though: we've still found five apps and games worthy of checking out over the weekend. Each offers something a little different and is bound to entertain or prove useful.
Muse 360
For many music fans, this will be an ideal app. Focusing on popular British indie rock band Muse, Muse 360 allows users to view concerts from 5 different camera angles and shifting focus just how they wish. It's possible to purchase and download many of the band's biggest hits such as Plug In Baby and Micro Cuts, and view performances from the 10th anniversary show at Reading Festival, through this interface.
Ticket To Ride Europe Pocket
Ticket To Ride has consistently provided an immensely enjoyable board game experience on the iPad and iPhone, so it's exciting to see a new version emerge in the form of the Europe edition. The game offers a new layout and challenges, as well as a new AI bot and achievements to gain.
Released: 2012-07-24 :: Category: Games
The stock weather app, while useful, is far from pretty to look at. Solar is the kind of appearance that fits into the minimalist beauty of iOS perfectly. It's sleek and fast to use, giving all the important facts such as temperature, feels like temperature, general forecast and time.
Released: 2012-07-22 :: Category: Weather
5K To Marathon Runmeter GPS
Many running apps focus on getting beginners started on their journey to fitness. 5K To Marathon Runmeter GPS continues where those apps left off, offering training plans for those aiming to complete 10Ks, half marathons or full marathons. It'll also monitor numerous useful statistics, such as speed, elevation, distance, time and heart rate (with the right accessory).
Released: 2012-07-17 :: Category: Healthcare & Fitness
The Bourne Legacy: Operation Intel
Continuing the trend of apps that tie into new movies, The Bourne Legacy: Operation Intel gives players the opportunity to participate in ten missions which unlock exclusive audio clips from The Bourne Legacy. Besides the missions, other features such as video and photo galleries, plus story details and showtimes are available for fans of the movie.

Pagliarulo reminisces in Cooperstown
By Bill Francis
He turns 50 years old in 10 days, but Mike Pagliarulo looks as if he could still turn on an inside fastball and deposit it in the right field seats at Yankee Stadium.
The one-time lefty swinging slugger, who spent 11 big league seasons patrolling the hot corner for the New York Yankees, San Diego Padres, Minnesota Twins, Baltimore Orioles and Texas Rangers, was at the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum on Friday as the keynote speaker for the New York State Public High School Athletic Association Baseball Coaches Clinic.
After the morning session, "Pags," as he was known, talked about his life in the National Pastime. In fact, it was game that ran in the family, as his father played a few years of minor league ball and his son played ball at Dartmouth University.
"There are things that tear families apart and there are things that bring them together. I'm just glad it was baseball (bringing things together) for us," he said. "We really don't talk about it too much, but we like playing."
After the Massachusetts native and lifelong Red Sox fan was selected by the Yankees in the sixth round of the 1981 amateur draft, Pagliarulo made his big league debut with the Bronx Bombers in July 1984.
"One of the great things about growing up with the Yankees and being part of that organization was the way we felt about each other. It's a tough organization, and they made it that way on purpose because they develop players to play in New York City," he said. "You're not playing in some other town where nobody really cares, but in New York the fans understand the game, they know the game, so you can't mess up out there. You have to be ready and you have to be able to play. Whether you are good or bad, you have to be able to play. The Yankees did prepare us for that."
So after hitting 28 home runs in 1986 and 32 in '87, it was a surprise to Pagliarulo when he was traded to the Padres in July 1989.
"I didn't want to be traded from New York. I didn't care how I played, I just didn't want to be traded," he said. "So I went out to San Diego … that's a different world out there. I had to yell at a couple of the fans sometimes, 'Look, I'm stinking it up. Throw something at me, yell, do something, will you?' A beautiful place, but I liked playing in New York.
Eventually finding his way to Minnesota, Pags saw his only postseason action with the 1991 Twins. Not only did he hit a 10th-inning, pinch-hit homer off Toronto's Mike Timlin to win Game Three of the ALCS, but was also played the entirely of the classic Game Seven of the World Series, in which Minnesota's Jack Morris, who went 10 innings, outdueled Atlanta's John Smoltz in a 1-0 triumph.
"What a great experience that postseason was for me. I'm glad I played well, but it was just great to be a part of that. One of the best experiences of my baseball career," Pagliarulo said. "The great thing about Game Seven was that even though it was deafening in the Metrodome – I was standing up in the dugout and (shortstop) Greg Gagne was standing right next to me and I couldn't hear a word he was saying – when you are on the field the thing that was different I thought was the awareness that the players have."
Pagliarulo was a participant in last year's inaugural Hall of Fame Classic, a seven-inning legends game played at Doubleday Field in Cooperstown. And he drove in the winning run with a double.
"Being on the field brought back a lot of memories for me. The performance end of it was a little tough. Maybe I'll get a jog in once in awhile before the game this year," Pagliarulo joked. "It was great to see the other players, and the players really loved it. Being on the field, the fans are out, the weather's great, you are in Cooperstown, not much beats that. I think it's a great thing for Cooperstown and I know the guys really want to do it too."
This second annual Hall of Fame Classic, featuring seven Hall of Famers and 20 other former big leaguers, takes place at 1 p.m. on Sunday, June 20. For more information, click here.

In my past experiences running on trails, the paths are demarcated for hikers and bikers and I learned about these running-appropriate paths through word of mouth and in person park information. After moving to New England and the New York area, I haven't been able to discover a definitive resource for finding wooded running trails that include some information and reviews about the path and surrounding area. Does a resource like this exist describing running trails in this area? If not, how do I find running appropriate trails?
Take the 2-minute tour
The Great Outdoors Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for people who love outdoor activities, excursions, and outdoorsmanship. It's 100% free, no registration required.
I have not seen information regarding trails specifically from a running perspective, but there are a number of sites with information on hiking trails. Most trails suitable for hiking can also be used for trail running, and most trail reviews will cover sketchy sections which will be even more important if you're running. I am not in New England, so I cannot vouch for the accuracy for any of these sites. http://www.hikenewengland.com/ http://www.mountainsummits.com/homepage/mountains.htm/: Information on mountain summits in NE. http://www.hikingnewengland.com/: Forums specifically on hiking in NE. |

Nice slacks
Quality fits the price.Material thinner than expected. Size runs small,recommend ordering one size up. No true tummy control. Overall still a good buy.
Old Hickory TN
Nice Dress Slacks
Nice dress slacks... really love the cut and fit! I'm glad I read the reviews because the size does run small... had to order one size larger than I normally wear. I ordered the petite size so that I could wear with flats but I must be very short because I still need to wear heels! Love these slacks and will definitely order more!
Independence, MO
Product description says "Tummy Control". In my opinion there was none. Also found material flimsy/ not durable. For a tall gal, I found the length was great. Returned my order.
Naugatuck, CT
not as i expected
Love these pants but had to go up a size because of the waist. I normally wear size 2 but this is too small in the waist. Ordered 3 pair in size 4p. They are fine but I would like to see a little spandex added to the material, maybe 4%. I am real spoiled to a little stretch. I have ordered a size 2p from u, that I can still wear, but they do have 4% spandex. They are more like a stovepipe leg opening. Sorry, but I just noticed these are 4% spandex. But I feel no stretch in the waist. I would suggest going up a size because the waist is so tight. Love the length. It is perfect for my short legs. I do order the petite.
Antlers OK
perfect dress pants
I have these pants in nearly every color and can wear them in every season. They are perfect professional pants and look great with blazers, sweaters, or a professional looking blouse. The fit is perfect for me and I love the length. Only problem? MORE COLORS PLEASE!!!! Years ago there was a lovely taupe color that I totally wore out and have never seen since. The emerald is much too bright; a soft green would be nice. A stone or khaki color would be nice as well-- the butter rum doesnt make it. Pinstripe varieties of all colors appreciated. It is hard to find nice classic pants like this so please increase your sales and profits by adding more options to this great design!
Erie PA
Thight on the waist
They really nice pants and they dress beautifully. The only thing is that they are kind of tight on the waist. I order the size I wear size 6, the fit was nice but the waist.
Gainesville _GA
Love the fit!
I LOVE the way these pants feel! I hope to get more in different colours! I look a feel thinner in these pants...and who can complain about that! Great fit and even greater look! Highly recommend!
Durham, NC
Terribly disappointed. Pants are extremely thin/cheap. The fit is fine; the color is nice. Considering whether to return them or hope they are good for the summer. For the price I was very disappointed.
Bonham, TX
Nicely Tailored Pants
Very nice fitting on me for a larger size woman. True size in the waist and length. Nice that they are long enough too! Plus they do have a longer rise for those of us that are a bit older and larger. I am buying 2 more pairs right after I post this review!
Providence, RI
LOVE these - more colors please!!!! Pinstripes like gray, navy! Sized correctly; perfect work slacks!
camden, sc
Adore these pants
I adore these pants. They fit at the waist and taper wonderfully. I ordered them in black and hope to get more in other colors. The pants are VERY true to size - no baggy areas!
columbia, sc
Great Pants
These are great dress / work pants. I love the fit. They come to the waist and are very slimming. True to size. I will get more.

The Beauty of rsync and Backup Script
is a command-line tool used to copy/clone files ("fast incremental file transfer"). It is a great, simple backup tool. The basic rsync
command is this:
rsync -a src dest_dir
Where src
is the original directory or file and dest_dir
is the destination directory. Because rsync
does incremental backups it only adds the file to the dest
if it has been updated from the original backup.
rsync -axS src dest_dir
This is the command I use. This command can be used to backup just about anything! The options:
means archive mode which basically means to preserve the file "as is" (same permissions…)-x
means not to cross file systems boundaries-S
means to handle sparse files efficiently-v
option (verbose) can be used to print whatrsync
is doing
An important note about rsync: when src
is a directory a trailing slash (/
) tells rsync
to copy the "contents" of the directory:
rsync -axS src_dir/ dest_dir ls -1 dest_dir/ file1 file2
Without a trailing slash:
rsync -axS src_dir dest_dir ls -1 dest_dir src_dir
can also use file-lists containing paths of directories and files, to both include and exclude them for backup:
sudo rsync -axS --files-from="incl_file.txt" --exclude-from="excl_file.txt" src_dir dst_dir
will have to be specified and will have to be relative to paths in the file list:
cat incl_file.txt Desktop/ rsync -axS --files-from="incl_file.txt" --exclude-from="excl_file.txt" /home/user/ dst_dir
can also remove files from the dest_dir
with the --delete
option, so files that get added to the exclude file or taken out of the include file will removed from dest_dir
rsync -axS --delete-excluded --files-from="incl_file.txt" --exclude-from="excl_file.txt" /home/user/ dst_dir
Backup Script
I use rsync
to backup my system configurations and /home/
to make reinstalling easy. I created the script to remember the command to use, but to also easily add to the include and exclude files:
bcksysc i /etc/hostname Added "/etc/hostname" to bcksysc-inc.txt include file.
bcksysc bcksysc - backup configurations i - add to the include list a file or folder e - add to the exclude list a file or folder c - create backup
Here's the script all that needs to be done is to change the Parent Destination Directory (for backing up /home/
I copied the script to bckhome
, changed the type
to home
and added /home/
to the include file):
So my destination directory looks like this:
ls -1 /run/media/todd/Backup/rsync/ ... aspire_2012-08-31_sysc aspire_2012-08-31_home

Duplicity is just as easy to use, but provides incremental backups and encryption as well. It will also plug into stuff like Amazon S3 if you want it to: https://grepular.com/Secure_Free_Incremental_and_Instant_Backups_for_Linux

ST. LOUIS (KMOV.com) -- Nearly two years ago, Chris Nagus confronted James Adam Jenkins on his way into an Oklahoma courtroom.
Back then, the Oklahoma Attorney General accused him of running a hunting scam, to which he later pled guilty.
Firefighters around St. Louis also accused him of running a beef jerky scam, where he would sell territories to firefighters to distribute these beef stick canisters.
The firefighters paid in, but the product wasn't delivered.
Richard Cranford invested heavily in Jenkins' business. The successful Tulsa businessman recently met News 4's Chris Nagus at Spirit airport in Chesterfield.
He said he invested more than $800,000 with Jenkins.
Cranford originally invested with Jenkins because he believed his business model was viable.
He still does, that's why he's started a new beef stick business called Quarter Share, but this time it won't have anything to do with Jenkins.
