Singing lieutenant's legacy lives on
Beth Sholom award honors employee, resident 'idol'
In his last 12 years of life, Art Heller coped with a debilitating stroke, a move from his lifelong home in New Jersey, and the stress of adjusting to serious health limitations and life in an assisted living facility and new town.
But he didn't simply meet the challenge gracefully, say those who knew him. He excelled at his new life, won over an entire community of residents and employees in his new home, and went on to become an icon of the community who is still revered today.
Although the World War II veteran passed away in 2004 – on Veteran's Day – his name still comes up frequently in conversations at Beth Sholom. From his stellar singing voice to his enthusiasm for baseball and his charismatic personality, Heller continues to live prominently in the memories of his Beth Sholom family.
"The staff at the home absolutely adored him," says Arthur's son, Dan. "He had a personality that was able to engage everyone."
Heller recalls that when family members visited other residents of the home, and their own relatives were not doing well, they would seek out Art Heller to get the lift in spirits they needed.
"They'd stop and see my dad and just spend a few minutes, and then they'd tell me how good it made them feel," says Heller. "He had that uncanny ability."
What's more, Art's legacy lives on in the annual Arthur Heller Employee Recognition Award award, which his grateful family established both as a tribute to Heller and as an appreciative gesture to the staff members who helped make his life so enjoyable in his later years.
Heart of gold
This year's award recipient, Mike Sorenson, has worked at Beth Sholom for 17 years in roles ranging from maintenance to night watchman to his current job as medical supplies coordinator. Deirdre Arnowitz, director of social work at Beth Sholom, says Sorenson is not only a deserving recipient, but one who has much in common with the award's namesake.
"Mike is such a sweet man," says Arnowitz. "He'll do anything for anybody and he's very kind to all the residents."
Arnowitz adds that among the roles Sorenson has assigned himself over the years -- without being asked -- is caretaker of animals at the home.
"He loves cats and birds, and when we had a resident cat, Mike took care of her all the time," says Arnowitz. "He took her to the vet and came back on weekends to feed her. He wanted to make sure the residents had a cat."
When the cat died, Sorenson took care of subsequent pets, including birds. He would make sure the birds were covered at night, and took them to residents to keep overnight. "The residents did better because of his efforts," says Arnowitz.
Arnowitz also points out that when feral cats became a problem outside the residential community, Sorenson found homes for all of them as well. On the job, says Arnowitz, Sorenson is known for his knack for fixing things, and often helps out in the rehabilitation department repairing wheelchairs.
"He just has a heart of gold," says Arnowitz, "and an unassuming manner. He never wants attention for himself and was just flabbergasted to get the award."
'King Arthur'
While Sorenson is reluctant to speak of himself, he lights up with a smile remembering Art Heller, whom he calls a "good man" with a talent for singing and playing the piano.
Arnowitz confirms Heller's talent for entertaining, and cites a list of favorite songs he would sing, including "Let Me Call You Sweetheart," "Take Me Out to the Ballgame," and "When Irish Eyes Are Smiling."
"We called him King Arthur," says Arnowitz with a laugh. "He sang for every talent show and sing-along, and everyone followed along. I remember he also sang 'Always' to [his granddaughter] Erin.
"He had the most gorgeous blue eyes. He just melted us."
Dan Heller notes that his father's singing voice was something of a legend, and that he entertained the troops during the 1940s.
"There's a picture of him singing to 10,000 troops in Louisville, Kentucky," says Heller. "They called him 'The Singing Lieutenant.' But he was very modest, and other family members had to tell us about it."
Heller says that after the war, his father apparently auditioned for a singing role, and ended up taking second place. The man he lost out to was Dennis Day, who later went on to fame as Jack Benny's sidekick.
"I tell my children," says Heller, 'If there had been an American Idol in the 1940s, your grandpa would have been in the top ten.'"
'He meant so much'
But it was Art Heller's demeanor, even more than his talent for entertaining, that stands out in the memories of those who knew him.
"He was so appreciative," says Arnowitz, "and so amenable to everyone. Art was just the nicest, kindest, smartest – and he would share about his life. I always assigned social worker interns to him, because he was such a great guy to get to know."
Dan Heller tells the story of an encounter about two years after his father died, when he was in line with his son at a fast food restaurant and noticed a woman staring at him.
Eventually the woman approached him, saying, "You're Mr. Heller's son." She told Dan that she had worked at Beth Sholom years ago, and that in her 25-year career working in nursing homes, his father was the "nicest man I ever met."
"Then," recalls Dan, "she takes out her wallet and shows me his obituary. She looked at me and said, 'He meant so much to me.'"
Hearing that from a professional with that much experience in the field, says Heller, told him that establishing the employee recognition award was clearly the right way to recognize his father.
Since establishing the award (which he discussed with his father before his death), Heller has noticed that the idea seems to generate other ideas for good turns. One day, Heller happened to mention the award while on the golf course, telling his fellow players how it honored not only his father's memory but also the unsung heroes who work at Beth Sholom. One golfer, who had just lost his son in an accident, was moved to donate gift cards to all of the award recipients in his son's memory.
It's also tradition that as part of the annual awards ceremony, previous recipients join the celebration and are given corsages and gift certificates. The current winner, surrounded by residents, staff, and friends of the community, receives a cash award in addition to the recognition.
The ceremony never fails to move Deirdre Arnowitz and members of the Heller family (Dan, wife Nancy, and children Ben and Erin – all of whom have volunteered at the home for years) – or to elicit memories and story-telling about "King Arthur."
"I am so glad he lived here 12 years," says Arnowitz. "We were so lucky to have him."
Agencies combine on new entry point to Chickahominy
Canoeing and kayaking enthusiasts soon will have a new access point to the Chickahominy River. VDOT, the James River Association and Henrico County Parks and Recreation are teaming up to establish a new site in Eastern Henrico.
The James River Association negotiated the deal with VDOT to procure official access to the area located just east of I-295 on North Airport Road in Sandston. The site includes a park-and-ride commuter lot bordering the Chickahominy River and has been an unofficial launch site used by paddlers for years. > Read more.

If Alissa competes nationally or internationally this season, does she hurt her chances for getting GPs in the '13-'14 season?
I'm thinking that competing this season might jeopardize her chances to be a "returning skater" next season. Maybe that's not an issue...not sure I understand the rule.
If she competes this season, won't her GP entries for next year be determined by her '12-'13 season high score?

1* Free Play Minnesota Twins.Editors Note: Wow! To say AAA Sports is "ON FIRE" would be a LUDICROUS understatement! After going 3-0 (100%) with his MLB on Wed, he's now on a BLISTERING 15-2 (88%) run at the ballpark since last week! For the season he's a SMOKING 115-85 +$9,983 MLB YTD! He is 12-3 +$6,838 L7 days ALL, +$10,401 L31 days ALL! INSANE!
I think the home side offers good value in the opener of this four game set. Minnesota turns to Phil Hughes (10-6, 4.06 ERA) who is a pedestrian 3-3 with a 6.34 ERA over his last six starts. The last time he faced the White Sox he gave up four runs over five frames while not receiving a decision in a 10-9 victory in Chicago on April 3rd; note though, Hughes owned a minuscule 1.34 ERA vs. Chicago lifetime previous to that somewhat shaky outing. The visitors counter with Hector Noesi (4-7, 5.21 ERA) who gave up four runs over seven frames in a 5-4 setback at Minnesota on June 20th, lucky to escape with the no-decision. The Twins swept a four game set in this series at Target Field from June 19-22 and all signs point to another rout in my opinion as Hughes gets the slight nod on the bump and that's more than enough to tip the scales in our favor; consider a second look at MINNESOTA in this one.

Gypsy music may be the forgotten party music.
When American musicians raised on rock stumbled upon traditional Gypsy music and started composing their own take on it, the sound they created was a mesh of traditional Eastern European sounds played with some good old aggression. While some may favor bluegrass, electronic DJ music or – God forbid – rock 'n' roll, as the sound to listen to, Gypsy often gets the castoff.
That's a shame. Thanks to bands like Gogol Bordello, Balkan Beat Box or other bands with Eastern European members and influences, Gypsy music has taken hold. Its bass lines, stomping rhythms behind a fast-paced violin and call-and-response lyrics are ripe for inciting drinking and rowdy behavior everywhere. Durango's own Gypsy band Carute Roma will celebrate the release of their debut CD "Gadjo Caravan" this evening with a free show at the Lost Dog.
The band is Michael Rendon on violin and vocals, David Sachs on drums, Brian Arens on guitar and vocals, Nicole Mosher on trumpet, Alexi Carey on bass, Robert Aspen on accordion and vocals, Hannah Burnett on violin and Brian Lock on mandolin.
Carute Roma has been together in Durango and outlying areas for the last nine years, but being a band has never been at the forefront of anyone's activities. Every member has a full-time job, from teaching to nonprofit work, so their output and live performances have been busy or spotty. That hasn't mattered. They're Gypsies, after all. Theirs is a friendship before business.
"The people in the band are some of my favorite people in Durango. That's partly why we stay together," said Rendon last week from the office of his "real" job. "Everybody really likes each other, and what we're doing is totally unique and it's kind of cool."
Gypsy bands like Carute Roma's place in the world of music is often as the house-band for weddings. That's where Carute Roma plays most of its shows, and the up-beat nature of the music is a natural fit.
"In Romania and Eastern Europe, the Gypsy musicians make their money playing weddings. It's known as rowdy music, and it's funny because we mostly play weddings here," Rendon said. "We kind of like it that way, it feels like we are connecting with the musicians over there."
Sitting down with Rendon to talk Gypsy music is like sitting down for a lesson in Romanian and Eastern European culture, something many Americans could use. In an specially fabulous episode of "The Andy Griffith Show," a rag-tag group of Gypsies led by Jamie Farr rolls into Mayberry to sell junk to the rubes of the town, eventually jinxing the town and its residents. That stereotype may be unfortunately universal, but Rendon thinks one benefit of playing in a Gypsy band is he's given the opportunity to dispel such negativity.
"It gives us a chance to educate people on the Roma culture. The word 'Gypsy' is a negative term – they call themselves 'Roma'" Rendon said. "What's neat about the band, too, is we've gotten into the culture."

One of the wonderful things about music is its ability to bring people together to share a connection that reaches beyond borders and boundaries. Music can immediately bond souls and create common ground. What happens when kindred spirits who share a deep respect for each other and Hawaiian culture come together to share their music in collaboration?

iPhone 3.0 Parental Controls Allow First Adult App onto iPhone (NSFW-N)
[iPhone coverage added to make image as viewer-safe as possible - Ed]
Well, at least it took longer than push notification or turn-by-turn navigation, right?
As should be no surprise, given how the porn industry is typically among the first to adapt to new technologies, Macenstein reports that the first app to feature nudity has made it into the iTunes App Store.
The app is rated 17+ for frequent/intense sexual content or nudity, and frequent/intense mature/suggestive theme. This means the new Settings > General > Restrictions > feature for parental controls in iPhone 3.0 can be used to globally allow or block the app (or any app based on several age-based levels). MacRumors explains the results:
If an App falls outside of the allowed rating they will simply disappear off your home screen. Once you turn the restrictions off again, the affected apps reappear.
This should mean we don't see any more app rejections for search-based language or content, but it also leads us to wonder how long it will be before we see major adult entertainment companies come knocking on the App Store door...
There are 37 comments. Add yours.
Warning Apple: Slipper slope ahead!
I am sure this is going to spark so outrage.
There's enough smut out there without the AppStore perpetuating it more. Apple shouldn't allow stuff like this to drag their brand down.
I bet the Apple guys Loved sending this one through the Approval Process =)
And so it begins. Apple spent the past year being criticized for censoring apps. Now they will spend the next year defending their decision to allow adults the right to choose. They can't win.
how do i get it
You know - if it's legal what right has anyone from complaining about adults exercising their right to enjoy whatever the heck they want within the law? Each to their own IMO.
I like the fact that Apple is turning to adult content but I don't really care for this app.
Now that I think about it, I never really cared about "adult" apps.
To everyone saying this is bad, this is America (at least for me). In America if you want to buy things like this that is your right. No one is forcing you to buy these apps and you never have to see them. It is simply not possible that someone else being able to have this app will ever harm you or degrade your iPhone experience. Please respect the rights of everyone around the world and grow up. As adults we have the right to choose to download these apps if we want.
Now, where is my South Park app? I see Family Guy didn't waste any time.
Amen! You hit the nail on the head.
@sting7k I agree. I myself will not be getting this or anything like it for all I know but it will make some people happy and the point isn't Adult Apps. The point is more things can be allowed now such as violence. A lot of games have been rejected because they had too much blood. Anyone who complains about it is stupid. Either don't look at it, or if you are worried about you're kid, set some parental controls! That is what they are there for! And I also agree that I hope they resubmit that South Park App. :P I really wanted it. haha.
As much as I wouldn't like to see this app available. Remember that this is still business, the more apps Apple can sell, the more money they can line their pockets with. Will I use my iPhone for adult content, I highly doubt it. If it is there then it is there, and I hope Apple will not promote it anymore than just making it available. I rather use my phone for other things than adult content!!
I hope zintin returns
It's a very thin line for users to be determining what's appropriate for the app store or not. What one person thinks is appropriate another will think is pure smut. If we start complaining about application content then why not complain about iTunes content as there are songs with verbally explicit content, or we should complain that Safari on the device can access very mature content. And Apple should not be bound by some moral obligation when approving applications. They have taken the legal option of providing for content restrictions and it is now up to the user to decide what is appropriate for their (or kid's) device. I probably won't use these applications, therefore I won't download them; it's that easy.
And I can see there becoming a new "Mature Content" category in the app store to control the new influx of applications like this one. Yeah, right below the "Medical" category to give users the feeling of having to walk to the back of the video store to look at the mature videos.
I don't think you will have to worry much about seeing these apps featured on the app store home page in iTunes. And remember, Apple already sells explicit music and videos.
I wouldn't mind a mature content section just to see what's out there.
@PeterM11, gonna mention it over at southparkstudios.com on the forums. Their staff are pretty active so hopefully they see they can get these apps approved now.
Good for Apple, they make 30% with each of hese paid apps AND no one should be complaining about apps being rejected due to unsuitable content anymore.
@ sting7k: Yes, I hpe the south park app Devs, resubmit it.
Fring has p0rn too?
Who knew? I thought it was just an IM app.
The other interesting thing is what happens when Apple gets sued for sexual harassment when it assigns some app store reviewer to review all the porn apps?
This app has been yanked from the app store already. I wouldn't worry.
They took it off the AppStore! Why?
I see the fake moralists are already up in arms over this, I guess they didn't realize you can see hardcore porn with Safari? And what's with people calling this "porn"? Has this country become so un-educated that they think a picture of a topless bikini model is porn? So sad, I'd expect attitude's like that in Iran, not here. I agree with how George Carlin felt about stuff like this, it's not like people are forced to buy it, I think some people just need stuff to complain about because they have no life of their own to keep them busy.
I see that they already pulled it, for once it would have been nice for a big company not to cave in to the whining from the religious nuts ofthe world.
I was able to get the app.
What can I say. I'm a sucker for hot women.
But the app no longer shows any nudity.
Just girls in lingerie and bikinis.
Oh well.
The App has been pulled
"Apple will not distribute applications that contain inappropriate content, such as pornography. The developer of this application added inappropriate content directly from their server after the application had been approved and distributed, and after the developer had subsequently been asked to remove some offensive content. This was a direct violation of the terms of the iPhone Developer Program. The application is no longer available on the App Store."
Off Cnn's website
From Apple spokesman Tom Neumayr:
Perhaps the real reason was the server crash:
If Apple is going to continue to enforce content from the web it seems to me they have taken on the task of perpetually filtering the entire internet.
That's it! I'm outta here! I've been waiting for Apple to come up with a worthy option to my Treo Pro and they give me porn? I waited for cut and paster, a decent word processor, a spreadsheet, and a good PIM and they finally made it (kind of).
Yes is is America and we do have freedom but my choice is to not view and not listen AND to not support, insofar as is possible.
Soft/hard? What's the difference? I'm selling my 3G and going back to WinMo. At least then I won't feel like I'm a direct contributor to the problem.
Yea, because topless women is "porn"...
Seriously, get a clue, porn is something entirely different..
@bill: I'm not sure if you're aware, but Apple didn't develop the app, a third party did. But if boobs trigger your sense of moral outrage to such a degree, maybe you're making the right decision. Because god knows you can't see porn on a WinMo phone.
Check out macrumors.com. Apple has issued a statement regarding not not distributing "inappropriate content, such as pornography." Good for them! A really gutsy move by Apple. I guess I will keep my 3G and buy a new MacBook Pro after all! Yay!
This falls to a question of Apple allowing some chicks naked picture on the App store then Apple succumbing to yet another lawsuit because said chick says she never allowed that photo to be taken... It makes Apple a target, its a shame but thats the society we live in today... Blame society not Apple...
Ive met the website on my iphone http://www.iphonesexy.net free website adult. We can find anything!!
and yes the adlut content hits the iphone. Many buy it for that, checking discreetly adult pages from quite everywhere and this! is something...
We just launched MiKandi, the world's first Mobile AppStore for adult apps. It's currently for the Android platform and no apps stocked yet. You can check it out at: http://mikandi.com
If you are a developer, let us know and we'll provide an invite code so you can upload an application.
iphone porn has been around for a while now... but only in web app form not the actually app app
a good iphone porn web apps is (in my opinion) http://www.allmobileporn.com
Really cool I love the various articles which were written, and especially the comments posted! I'll come back!
Great information, I may try this for one of my adult personals web sites
Thank you for sharing your info.
You need a dig button :)
Our son hardly ever did any of those things

Howdy good folks!
I have a mw6503 voice coil scraping on one side. I've tested the speaker with a AA battery, and it moves in both directions, but is scraping. Please excuse my ignorance, I've tried to read as much about it as I've been able to find, and I think a replacement is probably the best route for me. I joined figuring I'd place a want ad, but seems there's a post requirement. So, I guess I'll call customer service and see if they still stock it. If I can get a replacement, does anyone want the fried one?
I'm wondering if it was just caused by age, from what I can see the wire is still shiny in there and not blackened.
Or maybe my amp has a problem or the RCA to input jack that I run an ipod from causes a loud distortion spike when plugging in with the volume loud?

Can I Say Something About Paula Deen
I've been traveling, I know only what I've heard mainly on the 24 hour news shows.
I got annoyed at a journalist or entertainment writer. I can't remember who. It might have been a writer of a column that I read while on a plane.
First, I must state this: I have Zero Tolerance for racists. I don't think that poor Paula is in that category.
The person that I got annoyed at wrote that Paula was a caricature of a Southerner. That's mean. The woman is original. That's what got her into trouble. She's not mean and she's not a hypocrite. She's 66. Most people can't cast the first stone, especially folks sitting in corporate boardrooms. Look at the recent news. At lot of them have done much more devastating things to little people and they lie about it.This message has been edited. Last edited by: Leafly,
They pulled my first post so let me try again....
I think most of her detractors are hypo.crites themselves. There are so many examples of rac.ism from every side out there. Not many of them are being hung out to dry like Paula. The Press is having a field day with this.This message has been edited. Last edited by: zone9alady,
Life is a great big canvas...throw all the paint on it you can.
Danny Kaye
I don't think the 24 hour news channels have done us any favor by existing. They make mountains out of molehills. I am disappointed at the number of businesses that have jumped on the bandwagon about something that happened 40 years ago. I remember being in the south 40 years ago and the term was used occasionally and I was surprised until I realized it was not being used in a derogatory way. It was just a word they grew up with.
It will make people wonder if they should be honest in court proceedings because it will come back to haunt them.
O.K. first post was scrubbed, so I'll try again. It not just the use of the one word that is causing such an uproar, Google and read the deposition. It is the totality of the allegations of workplace misconduct, employees not being promoted because of the color of their skin,employees not allowed to work in the dining room because of their dark complexions and some sort of Pre-Civil War style party with African Americans dressed in uniforms of that era. And numerous disturbing instances against her brother that she did nothing about. Please research the person your defending, there are plenty of bloopers with Paula in a less than a shining light.
Also considering the fact that she has made millions selling Southern black recipes you would think she would know better.
Twenty four hour news channels don't seem to utilize journalism that is practiced with principle. Allegations are not fact. They need to wait for the court decision. To make money and fill time they talk about allegations.
I remember when journalists were concerned about their credibility. Now they push entertainment and sensationalism. ...And we soak it up.This message has been edited. Last edited by: Leafly,
I appreciate Public T.V. with escalating devotion.
Paula's current troubles are based on her deposition, her words, the MSM did not put words into her mouth. Sponsers did not drop her based on accusations they dropped her based on her actions and admissions.
People will find anyway to justify bi.goty. She should be held accountable for her rac.ist words and actions.
I hate 24/7 news because it's too filled with pop culture and gossip. But I can tune out, which I pretty much do. Still,I resent the fact that I've heard the name Kardashian or know of celebrity bad behavior because that kind of crap surfaces on the evening news.
Every time something happens, there's this knee-jerk reaction and people take sides and call for someone's head to roll. I don't excuse Paula Deen for things she might have said and her being 66 and southern is no excuse. At the same time, she has no impact on my life and never will.
At sixty six years of age, Paula Deen has witnessed integration occurring in the South. Her age is a significant part of this story. I am younger that her. Over 45 five years ago, I witnessed my school being integrated. It was a positive step. In her interview that occurred before the 's candal' erupted, she indicated that the use of the N word was a ugly word that she regretted using. She was truthful when she admitted that yes, 25 years ago she had used it. Well Oh my Gosh, let's tear her 'a part' in the Roman coliseum transported to America. She used the N word like 10 million other people in the North and the South. Times have changed for the best. Now, that ugly word is looked down upon. The people who use it are viewed as low class. They should be shunned as most of them are disrespectful. Over 45 years ago, I heard people use the N word. I was a child then. I don't hear it now in my circle of acquaintances. I rarely, rarely hear it in public. I heard it used over 30 years ago by a low level person at work. I'm not denying that it is not used. I am talking only about my experience. I'm thankful that I don't hear it.
People should watch the interview of Paula with her black friend that is on the 'Huff ington' Post site. She holds hands with him. He kissed her. 'Huffing ton' spins it like the truth isn't there for people to discern. Please watch it.
The for profit corporations don't care what she did but they do care about their profits. They view gossip and false perceptions as bad news. It doesn't matter what the truth might be. What matters is the perceived truth. The bottom line is money.
Talk TV thrives on the same thing.
Lets all go the the coliseum to see the lions and wild animals splatter 'bloo d'. The owners crank up the show. More money.
It's a shame.
I appreciate everyone's comments but I will agree to disagree, nicely.This message has been edited. Last edited by: Leafly,
You are posting garbage about some has-been cook and the media in general on the hgtv show board.
Is there some reason why you don't post this drivel about PD on the Food Network boards?
How about hopping over to CNN and posting your great concerns about the media?
You might wish to reread the guidelines b/4 you continue.
See any hgtv shows you would like to discuss?
News alert - PD 2013 is a charicature of her earlier self.
Second, Breaking News - 25 yers ago was 1988 - not exactly Jim Crow era in the South.
Finally Steph nailed it - it is not just the one word - it is her history of not treating all equally.
I take strong exception to the posters who take issue with PD's actions over the years as hypo crits.
I grew up in the South in the 50's. Many people PD's age either realized how wrong that was and know how pervasive such thoghts still are - witness many of the laws being passed in our country - or they still have the Jim Crow mentality engrained.
Fun and Info
To cool the topic off a bit, any serious cooks would have to agree what she prepares on her programs is almost inedible!
She does have some decent deserts in her early cookbooks - but the woman cannot cook vegetables! She cooks anything green within an inch of mush.
Southern Chefs like Nathalie Dupree of Charleston are much better examples of Southern cuisine than PD. In a vote on Southern home style restaurants in Savannah, Mrs. Wilkes wins hands down every time!
Fun and Info
I am 64, born and bred in southern Louisiana, and I have known all along that such language is NEVER acceptable, so Paula Deen does not get a pass due to her age or origins so far as I'm concerned.
some of you people are nuts. justifying and supporting a bigot. her use of the N word was the least of her bigotry. wanting to throw a slave themed party with well dressed Mandingo slaves was the worse. her mentality is the issue, not one or two indiscretions.
and what i find worse is, she may not be able to help who she is, being a bigot, but whats worse are those justifying and rationalizing her abhorrent behavior.This message has been edited. Last edited by: mgo287,
Let me see. Maybe we could take her driver's license away and abolish her voting privileges.
We could also take away her homeowners insurance and medical coverage. She is so horrible. She has apologized for those words. She was doing that when she admitted to using the N word. People grow and change. They mature. They learn. She should have just lied about it. Yep, she should have just lied. Several government and corporate leaders do that. Yep, A 'l iar'. That's what she should be.
No, we don't want to take away her drivers license, etc, but we can all choose whose products we will purchase, whose TV shows we will watch, etc. Her sponsors are well aware of that and do not want to lose our business. I always get amused when the rich and famous are flabbergasted by the consequences of their actions.
Leafly, Sorry we all wasted so much time on our response to your topic. It seems you only want the sunshine and roses about PD.
Your reply to honest comments was juvenile and unfortunately over the past couple of years that is what her on screen persona has become.
Yes, she has her champions and she has always had her detractors. She put herself out there - warts and all for the public.
Now read this slowly - her problem is not poor word choice (putting it lightly) and not which year she last chose to use such common ie vulgar language but her treatment of employees. If you place employees in your business based on the color of their skin, that is illegal. I know of no corporation that wants that to taint their products.
Like it or not corporations pay attorneys lots of money to tell them that for their products the PD's of the world could be toxic and they should reconsider their relationship with that person.
If her handlers had any common sense, because it seems PD is lacking in that category, they would have her cool it until after the case comes to trial or is settled.
Fun and Info
Charming, as far as I can tell these are allegations. It is not fair to condemn someone or a company on an allegation. (I do not believe the complaint has been settled). I would guess that the majority of companies have had allegations made about them, some true, some not.
I think is unfair to people to condemn someone because of unproven allegations. Use of the the word is a fact (yes,she could have lied like so many others) but the allegations about workplace bias are not.
The Food Network face book page has already been destroyed by Paula supporters so those of us that go there to read about food and recipes don't enjoy it anymore. I certainly hope this isn't going to happen here because this isn't the place for it. I don't have a dog in this race and can take her or leave her though she has crossed the line at times when she grins saying things like I like rubbing my umm.... meat... and talks about making her balls when one of her sons is on the show....defintely a double meaning there. They actually look a little embarrassed and quickly change the subject. I do find it strange that her fans say they are no longer watching all the shows on FN and even their sister station Cooking Channel since both of Paula's sons have shows on both of these channels. So if they no longer watch they are also hurting Paula's sons and I doubt she wants that to happen. I would think Bobby's show especially is in danger since his show Not My Mama's Cooking has her on at the beginning and end of each show. They may rethink the name of his show and not have her on it or they may not renew his contract if posters keep antagonizing them. JMO
This thread is getting a little too ridiculous don't you think? All you self righteous people who scorn the likes of Paula Dean all, and I mean all of you have done or said things in your life that are not, shall I say, "Politically Correct". Oh, how I hate that phrase. The mere fact that some of you are bombasting Leafly for her comments makes you guilty.
FYI, I do NOT follow Paula Deen nor do I have any of her cookbooks. I tried a recipe of hers once and it was nasty. So it's not that I even like her it's the fact that the general public is so indignant and are acting like lemmings running over the "Lets Ban Paula Deen Cliff".
Really think about why you are arguing...

zone, at what point IS it all right to take a stand?
You say "take a stand" as if this is a Supreme Court deciding case. There are so many greater and more prolific issues that we as Americans should be worried about. Like U.S. companies buying cheaper products from China that are subpar making us sick. Or, telling people who can or who can't get married, or who can or who can't have an ab.ort.ion.
PD is one person who mistakenly admitted to past indiscretions. We all have past indiscretions, should we all have our lives torn apart by them? And those of you that say you don't, you are not being honest with yourself. Some of you say you have never used the "N" word in your entire life....psssft! How about any other words to describe Italians, Germans, Jews, Spanish, Asian, poor country people, handicapped people? Really? None of you?
That's all I'm saying....he who is without sin, cast the first stone.This message has been edited. Last edited by: zone9alady,

So your argument is akin to Don't oppose robbing banks because m urder is so much worse??? If people DON'T object to objectionable behavior then how is the offender to learn to behave otherwise? Paula Deen is perfectly free to say whatever she wishes, but the buying public and her paying sponsors do not have to continue their association with her, do they?
Thank you Zone Lady! Like you I don't watch Paula's show's a lot. I know her style though. I've watched that. I don't agree with everything that she has done in the past involving actions that I read about long long before this scandal. Back then I had enough sense and life experience to know that I could not walk a mile in her shoes. The woman worked hard to be successful. She is to be given credit.
A harsh critical spirit is frowned upon in centuries old literature and millennial old wisdom literature. I wish that more young people had to read it.
I think the attacks on the woman are overdone and outrageous. A lot of people in the media and a lot of publications rush to make judgments when the facts are not in.
Editing of tapes can be dishonest. That has occurred on the Huffington site for the one recording that I saw in which she talked of her great great grandfather. They wanted to present something that is not totally accurate.
Thanks for your comments. No one is so lily white, faultless and high and mighty that they can attack someone in such a ruthless manner. They are no better than the person that they try to tear down.
All people have fallen short of the .....
Go research some wisdom literature to get the ending of that sentence please people.This message has been edited. Last edited by: Leafly,
What are you people talking about "who without sin"?
Paula's issue wasnt that she used the N word people. It is that she is a bigot through her repeated thoughts and actions. She is only now being contrite because its hurting her in her pocketbook. People rationalizing repeated bigotry as a simple discretion floors me. Makes me wonder if they share the same mindset.
I suspect that the only reason she admitted anything is that her lawyers assured her that her accusers have her dead to rights. If the two incidents that I heard about are the ONLY ones, I'd be VERY surprised.
You say "take a stand" as if this is a Supreme Court deciding case. There are so many greater and more prolific issues that we as Americans should be worried about. Like U.S. companies buying cheaper products from China that are subpar making us sick. Or, telling people who can or who can't get married, or who can or who can't have an ab.ort.ion.
Well considering that the Supreme Court just knocked down Affirmative Action and PD's case is about workplace racial discrimination I think it is just what we need to be worried about. It may not be important to you but it is important to the millions of African Americans, Hispanic and other ethnic groups in this country.
And no I have'nt called any of my co-workers, ethnic slurs, I would be fired.
It seems to me that the people who want to justify racial slurs or downplay the the importance of race relations in this country are the ones who want to spew their hate without repercussions.
I am guessing most people havent read her deposition transcripts. Aside from using the N word, she admits to wanting to throw a slave themed party with dressed up male black slaves serving her guests. She also attributed her grandfather passing to him losing his slaves and saying it was tough on him. There is a video of her making fun of one of her black employees saying the audience couldnt see him because he was standing in front of a blackboard.

Please watch the video on Huffington in which Paula talks about her grandfather. It is edited a lot. She said that her 2X great grandfather became depressed and committed suicide. That's all. She didn't say that slavery was a good thing. She was giving an account of her family history. After the war the South was devastated. Don't let media types feed you information without checking their facts. On that same tape I saw her interact with her black friend. He walked onto the stage with her after her introduction. During her fond introduction of him she expressed her deep affection and respect for him. She teased him saying something like this just before he walked out, " Now, don't you stand in front of that black board cause people might not see you" He walked out they held hands and he reached down to kiss her. Only very close friends can tease each other like that. Don't let media sensationalists tell you the altered truth. Please look at the tape yourself. She's not a sophisticate with a standardized accent. She's an original. Because of that it is easy to write comedy material about her and to poke fun. Some are having a field day with it. She doesn't have the advice of a PR firm to keep her out of trouble. Many public people hire them.
I'm not a huge Paula Deen fan but I know when a human being is being unfairly speared.

Well, sheesh! Why don't we just slice her throat and bleed her like the pig she is!
It's hard to tame a lynch mob after they get riled up.
In a few months this will all be forgotten and she will be fine...just like our good ol'friend and jailbird Martha Stewart.

I was wondering when someone would bring up Martha Stewart. The difference here is that Martha accepted her fate with grace--and a case could be made she was framed. Neither applies to Paula. I, for one, am not for slicing her up--I just don't care to support her. I am also amused by p oliticians who seem to equate forgiveness with returning them to o ffice. Can't we just wish them well with the rest of their lives and want them off the stage????
Thank you for your comments Zone Lady.

I used it to give my dogs their oral flea pills. It's wonderful. No Spitting. Hurray
They stand there and they work their mouth like they're kneading dough. Like a paddle the tongue goes out one side and then the other. They yawn peanut butter and they can't separate the pill from the food. Awesome for now, until they get smart.
I just about lost my religion last time. I had used lunch meat for quite a while as a disguise to roll around the pill. One dog got smart. She took the ham and spit the pill out. I went through a half pack of ham. She still didn't get all of the pill but she's not the one who suffers the most from fleas so things were passable.This message has been edited.

I saw two cute boys acting like Zombies at the vacation resort a few weeks ago.
So, here's another use for peanut butter but not for moms who might have a mess on their hands.
Smear a thick layer of peanut butter on your face and hands on Halloween. Then place small sections of cauliflower into the layer. Make like a zombie but don't expect candy when you ring door bells.
It's sad that you think that everyone else has at one time or another been a bigot or used derogatory words.

Speaking of peanut butter.....
I tried almond butter two months ago.
Ouch it's expensive. Almonds are supposed to have health benefits as long as they are eaten in modest quantities.
I'm not about to make almond butter cookies or use it to coax dogs into taking flea medicine.
I did make some awesome Macadamia Nuts cookies
within this past year.
I found the recipe in a paperback cookbook that I bought in Hawaii over 27 years ago.
It survived my "toss, give away, or pitch pile.
I'm so glad I still have it.
Those cookies were expensive but scrumdeliumptious.
Here's a cookie to you and you and you.

The Rock, Rail and Kakadu (OARK)
For rugged natural splendour, the Australian Outback is where it's at. This journey into the remote regions of northern and central Australia brings you face-to-face with the land and the intriguing characters and wildlife that call it home. Majestic Uluru, sprawling Kings Canyon and the out-there landscapes of Kakadu National Park await your hiking boots, while the crocodiles and the mysteries of Indigenous Australian culture—as told by the locals themselves—are primed to fascinate. Adventure doesn't get much more adventurous than this.
Highlights: Witness the majesty of Uluru at sunset and sunrise, hike the Red Centre, stargaze at the impressive Southern sky, ride the route of Afghan cameleers on The Ghan Train, learn about Aboriginal creation time stories, explore the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Kakadu National Park.
Kakadu Adventure (OAKA)
Get remote and head into the last frontiers of Australia—Kakadu and Litchfield National Parks. Featuring lots of inclusions at a great price, this itinerary is geared towards budget-conscious travellers who want to make the most of their time in Kakadu. Take in the region's ancient landscapes, spectacular waterfalls, pristine rock pools and magnificent gorges, and meet some of the locals. Round out your experience with a guided exploration of the region's ancient art, gaining insight to Aboriginal culture.
Highlights: Explore remote areas of the Northern Territory, discover secret watering holes and waterfalls, spot crocs on a boat cruise, view sites where Crocodile Dundee was filmed.
Red Centre Experience (OARC)
A great little add-on to a longer Australian adventure, this short-and-sweet journey to the famed Red Centre brings you close to the continent's vast heart. Watch the sun rise over iconic Uluru, explore the curious domed rock formations of Kata Tjuta and gaze up in astonished awe at the 100-metre-high walls of majestic Kings Canyon while the locals share the secrets of indigenous Australian culture. If you've come all the way to Australia, it'd be a shame to go home without coming here first. Regret nothing.
Highlights: Enjoy sunrise and sunset over iconic Uluru, explore breathtaking Kings Canyon, hike the impressive Valley of the Winds in Kata Tjuta, sleep under the stars of the Outback sky.

Fits large
Great fabric, a little heavy, the blue is almost a navy blue and doesn't look as pictured. According to the size chart I am between an 8 and 10 so I went with the M and it was massively big. I can't tell whether or not I liked it because it was so big. I already ordered the same dress in a S so I am hoping I won't be disappointed with the fit and style when it arrives.

I like what he wrote on the front page of his site - excerpts:
His March 2012 blog recaps his 2011-12 season: http://www.rossminer.net/blog/files/...dd0e70b-0.htmlI am proud to be a skater. ... However, it's a lot of hard work. Don't be fooled by the sparkly costumes and the lyrical music; for me and for my competitors to skate at our level, the training, both on and off-ice, as well as maintaining consistency, is very tough. In fact, publications like Sports Illustrated and USA Today have included "landing a quadruple jump" in their lists of the most difficult things to do in sports. As I practice my quad jumps, I completely agree with them!
In fact, my biggest inspiration is my 91-year-old grandfather, who grew up on a farm in Missouri during the Great Depression, was a SeaBee in the Navy during World War II, and started his own successful construction company. He is my biggest fan (sorry, Mom and Dad) and when I went to visit him in his home in Iowa after Four Continents this past February, he said to me, "Just try as hard as you can. That's all anyone can ask." I try to live up to his request every day.

Fear and Misery in the Third Reich
Methuen Drama, 01.04.2003 - 144 Seiten
Brecht's series of twenty-four interconnected playlets describe events which took place in ordinary German households in the 1930s. They dramatize with clinical precision the suspicion and anxiety experienced by ordinary people, particularly Jewish citizens, as the power of Hitler grew.
This volume is translated by John Willett, joint editor of Brecht's collected plays in English and is accompanied by an extensive introduction and commentary.
"What Brecht shows us here is more or less harmless by comparison with what came later. Perhaps this is its greatest strength: we know the results, what we are looking for is the beginnings."-Max Frisch

Important information pertaining to MSYSA/US Youth Soccer affiliate organizations that have recreational players:
· Submit the recreational player spreadsheet for your organization in a timely manner: Please submit the required excel spreadsheet(s) containing the information for each of your recreational players in the format specified below as soon as you feel that the registration time-frame for each applicable season has ended. For example, for some affiliate organizations this will mean sending two or more spreadsheets each year while for others it may mean only submitting a single spreadsheet in late spring. Regardless of the frequency of your organization's spreadsheet submission, only spreadsheets that are formatted according to the specifications as listed below will be accepted.
Recreational requirements for submitting your spreadsheet database
· Payment will be required for every player listed on every spreadsheet submitted: Please know that effective immediately affiliate organizations will be charged for every name appearing on the recreational spreadsheets that are submitted to the MSYSA state office regardless of the number of players that are ultimately uploaded to the Youth Leagues database due to duplicates and/or incomplete data. Therefore, affiliate organizations are encouraged to work with their database management company/individual(s) to ensure that players are only being entered once and that players discontinuing to participate are being removed from their spreadsheet(s).
Payment for recreational players must be accompanied by the Club Financial Accountability Form when submitted to the MSYSA state office.
· Each affiliate organization needs to register in the Youth Leagues system every year: The individual serving as the organization's President (or synonym title) should be sure to register their organization in the Youth Leagues system following the instructions that are provided via e-mail each fall. If an affiliate organization is not registered in the Youth Leagues database then the recreational spreadsheet(s) will not be able to be uploaded and the players will not be completely registered.
· Spreadsheets must be uploaded into the Youth Leagues system in order for the players to be completely registered: Only once correctly formatted spreadsheets are received (along with any/all applicable payments) and uploaded into the Youth Leagues database are the players listed on the spreadsheets completely registered with the MSYSA and US Youth Soccer. Players that are not completely registered will not appear in the database and will therefore not be able to have their identity verified in the event of an insurance claim. If a player's identity cannot be confirmed/verified in the Youth Leagues database then any potential insurance claims by that player may not be honored. This is one reason why it is important to correctly submit the spreadsheet (along with any/all applicable payments) for your recreational players in a timely manner.
Please click here to read the benefits to MSYSA affiliated recreational soccer players.
Please contact the state office (email@example.com 410-768-5401) if you have any questions.

This article is about Nora & Maxim.
Will they return to competitive skateing?
Could somebody please translate?
This article is about Nora & Maxim.
Will they return to competitive skateing?
Could somebody please translate?
Nora & Maxim decided after Euros, that they would like to compete again, but they just wil start training if they get support from the hungarian fedaration.
(now difficult: they seem to have to train at cold rinks and don´t have enough time)
at europeans nora realized, she really misses competetive skating and once again bids maksim to come back.
then their history is mentioned: they started to skate togetehr 2007, aiming 3 national titles, europeans 8th and worlds 10th finishes.
13th at olympics and reaching the grand prix finale, hoffmann/zavozin (so it´s said) have come closer to the worlds best ice dance couple and it would have been only a matter of time for them to medal.
after that nora became ill and maksim started not to tolerate the bad circumstances they have to skate.
nora mentioned that they never know how much support they could get from the federation, there was no money, frozen rinks (-25 celsius), no wonder she got her injury.
zavozin now lives in moscow, working as a coach for small kids, is on the ice 5,6 times a week but now is far away of a competetive form.
it´s compared to 'sleeping beauty'. his doctors mentioned, his body feels like sleeping, after he quits competing.
he mentioned, he doesn´t exercise much, although he is on the ice every day.
then they watched euros and were quite disappointed about the quality of the ice dance. they couldn´t see any personality in the ice dance teams despite the french and didn´t like the choreos of the other teams. they had the feeling they could become winner (not in a medal way) if they had just skated their (in their opinion) great programs.
this was the moment, when maxim too, has the will, too, to come back, if they find the right coach and if they get the right support from the hungarian federation.
they will loose the world ranking points and therefore will get no grand prix spot next year (they´re thinking), that´s why they wanted to start at the b-seniors-competitions in september. they are n progress now,, wanted to start really workign in may but at the moment, don´t know, what really will happen.
no high official of the national federation talked to them, they seem to have more important things to do, although they tried really hard.
before nora was mentioned to skate under the russian flag, but there were rules, where a skate switches nationality once, he couldn´t do it again, so there was no way to maksim to follow her.
maksim paid a 10 million forinth for naturelization. there were afterwards other partners proposed for hoffmann, but he as world junior champ wnated to skate with her, but he doesen´t want to accept everything now.
the possibility to train in the us is really small, because it´s too far away of their family, too expensive for the national federation and nt good for the couple, if they train at home, that their coach is many many miles away.
so they will search for a russian coach.
Thank you for your translation, Jeschke!
Their situation really sounds very frustrating for them but at least it seems like they are somewhat motivated to keep skating. I hope they find a way via the federation or sponsors. What is the likelihood that the Hungarian federation will help anyways?
It sounds like they tried asking for their help and didn't get very far. Very sad situation for them.
I only saw them skate once. I think it was their "witchy" program at a grand prix a couple of seasons ago. But I really liked them! It would be a shame if they could no longer skate when they still have the desire to do so...
Many thanks, Jeschke!
10 million forint = ~ $45K (today).
"The team doesn't get automatic capacity because management is mad" -- Greg Smith, agile guy
Just a small correction (and thank you Jeschke for the translation, very much appreciated), the 10 million huf/$45k was paid by the federation not Maxim.
Also I hate to say this but maybe Nora needs to change her attitude a tiny bit too, she says about the federation that she hasn't talked to them for months and won't "force" things with them because "now it's their turn to call"... Not that I'm a fan of the Hungarian fed, but really, with that attitude what does she expect...
Don't you find it worrying that doctors call treating you their "practice" ?
When they first paired up, there were posts to say that Zavozin had to reimburse the money.

"Randy [Starkman (1960-April 16, 2012)] lived by the same motto as the rest of us. The Olympics isnt every four years, its every single day. He just got it." --Canadian Olympic kayaker Adam van Koeverden
There is a new hungarian pair! Hungrian Mark Magyar and french Camille Foucher. Maybe we will see them on the european championship.
If she goes to Zagreb she'll meet her ex partner Bruno Massot
Viktória Pavuk announced her retirement a few days ago, incidentally just a few days before Nationals. (The whole affair went so silently that I don't think anyone noticed it immediately. Anyway, here is the official announcement at the Hungarian Federation's site, and while Google does give a decent translation, I can just summarize the deal:
The article mentions, that she was 4th in Euros 2004, and that she started skating when she was 3.
'Starting this season I won't enter any competitions' said Pavuk (26) 'but I won't be far away from skating. I will perform in exhibitions, the last time I went to the opening of the Óbuda [public outdoor seasonal] rink, and in February I will go to Quatar, and I can always join revues if I missed the ice too much.'
She mentions that she is very proud to be Hungarian Champion in 2011 and of course the Europeans 4th place, and she is just as proud of her bronze medals from the Junior Grand Prix Final and her participation in the 2006 Turin Olympics. [She mentions much more, but you know, that's what Wikipedia is for.]
She has a new career path ready, she says: 'I graduated from a media school and four months ago I started working as a reporter in a cultural TV channel. I'd like to be up to the task and succeed in that walk of life too.'
Newsflash: Pavuk decided to un-retire, with the Hungarian Fed realizing they have no entries in any discipline apart from the ice dance couple in next year's Budapest Europeans. They promised better training conditions to Pavuk, and she reported to land under-rotated double Axels and triple Salchows after only three practices, and she is surprised how steady she feels on the ice after missing a year. She will start the season in Nebelhorn, though an Olympic berth is not expected of her, only a qualification to Euros.

Best of luck to pavuk. She has nothing to lose
Excited to hear this about Viktoria Pavuk. She's had a very long career and it's wonderful to see her come back for another go!
Can they revive Dorofejev and Sebestyen as well please?
