Amazing Room! Tons of Space!
Blew my socks off
Amazing Bachelorette Party Location!
Our rooms were incredible. We had family visiting and requested a 2 BR suite. It was more than enough room for our entire party. The Signature had its own private entrance and was secluded from the strip. This was great considering we did not have to maneuver through the pedestrian traffic when ever we drove. The access from the Signature to the MGM Grand was less than a 5 minute walk; it also helps that there are assisted walkways so it makes for a quicker walk.
What we really loved from the Signature was the amount of privacy you can get from the bustle and hustle from the "madness" of Vegas when you need to. And when you do crave everything that Vegas has to offer it's easily accessible. The ammenities in the room allows you to feel as though you have never left home. It was awesome. Needless to say we will be booking at the Signature from now on when we visit Vegas.
From the Owner
"The MGM Signature is one of the most unique vacation properties in the world. One of only a hand full of privately owned condos attached to a major casino resort underscores the term Location, Location, Location. We love all things Las Vegas and the MGM Signature provides easy access to ALL of Las Vegas!"

text: The New YorkerA maharani is the wife of a maharaja, and through the lives of four such Indian queens, in two linked families over three generations, Moore demonstrates the changing currents of Indian politics and customs. The story starts with Chimnabai, the first queen to break purdah, in 1913, and ends with her granddaughter Gayatri Devi. Devi was the third wife of the maharaja of Jaipur, but after Independence stripped the princes of most of their power she ran successfully for Parliament. She was also a socialite—Jackie Kennedy was a friend—and the book is generally as concerned with parties and polo matches as with politics. The changes of the twentieth century seem to have been easier on the women than on their husbands and sons. With only a few exceptions (including Devi's husband, who had a heart attack during a polo match), the men died young, from complications of severe alcoholism.

Camera 370.
(photo credit:Reuters)
Occasionally you will come across situations where the difference between the brightest and darkest areas of the picture is too great for the camera to handle. The auto exposure will either loose highlight detail, or shadow detail, or both. You can take a test shot and look at the preview to see which areas lack detail. Many cameras can display a histogram, which gives a more precise indication of the overall exposure.One of the many ways in which you can respond to high–contrast lighting is to turn it to your advantage. By using the "+/-" feature of the camera (Exposure Compensation) you can adjust the exposure to deliberately lose detail for artistic effect. ExamplesHere's a picture I took in a London bar for a bridal-ware magazine. The elegant and static posture of the model is contrasted with the movement suggested by the strong perspective of the stools.To enhance the atmosphere I increased the exposure to burn out the highlights so that the distance faded into pure white light. I later also edited the shot to emphasize the high-key atmosphere.Here is a portrait I took of a well-known figure. The main light came from a single small window and created deep shadows on one side of the face. I decided to take advantage of this and overexposed to burn out the highlights and greatly lighten the shadows. This created a very different style of shot to any other that I had seen of him. I shot this in a studio and lit the face with a single large softbox. In the previous examples of high-key pictures I over exposed to eliminate highlight detail. However in this low-key shot I underexposed to reduce the shadow detail. Creative exposure Raw files can reveal a little more highlight and shadow detail than the usual Jpeg files. I use them when I need to, but I'm happy to expose creatively when the opportunity arises.Photographs are judged by how effectively they communicate and capture our imagination. Technique is only a means to an end: The proof is in the picture.Picture Clinic If you would like to develop your photography skills, you are welcome to send to me one of your pictures that I may publish with some constructive feedback.

The Last Word In Business
Originally published on Mon January 28, 2013 9:11 am
And today's last word in business is, fly like an eagle. Maybe you've seen this viral video. It's of a golden eagle swooping down and snatching up a baby in a park. The bird carries the kid a few feet before dropping him and flying away.
It caused quite a stir online - horrifying many, many viewers before it was revealed as a hoax. The video was a project made by students at a 3-D animation and design school in Montreal.
INSKEEP: Now, when the school realized the eagle clip - the fake eagle clip, we should remind you - was going viral, it activated an AdSense account on YouTube. This causes ads to appear when people play the clip on YouTube, and gives the school money every time somebody watches.
MONTAGNE: Very smart thing for the school to do because more than 41 million people turned out to have watched the video...
INSKEEP: But that's hardly anything, compared to "Gangnam Style."
MONTAGNE: (LAUGHTER) But still...
INSKEEP: Please, continue.
MONTAGNE: But still, the school says it made enough money off the ads to start up a new scholarship fund. And that's the business news on MORNING EDITION, from NPR News. I'm Renee Montagne.
INSKEEP: And I'm Steve Inskeep.
STEVE MILLER BAND: (Singing) ...to the sea. Fly like an eagle, let my spirit carry me. I want to fly like an eagle till I'm free. Oh, Lord, through the revolution. Feed the babies... Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

Wounded man dies; few leads, police say
One shooting victim still critical; no motive found
One of three men shot near Modesto Airport early Sunday died at the hospital, police said. It's the city's 10th homicide this year.
Alejandro Rangel, 27, of Modesto was pronounced dead not long after midnight Monday, said Sgt. Craig Gundlach of the Modesto Police Department.
Rangel was engaged to be married in January, said family friend Lorena Barajas, 36, of Modesto. Rangel was the best friend of Barajas' younger brother. The men used to take salsa dancing lessons together. She described Rangel as "a good guy" and an architect who was like "an extended part of our family."
"He wasn't a hoodlum. He doesn't fit that profile," she said. "He was always respectful to my mom and dad, the whole family. He was always welcome at our home."
A 30-year-old man who also was shot remains in critical condition. The third victim, a 22-year-old from Modesto, was treated and released from the hospital.
Few details have been released.
"There's not a whole lot we're ruling out," Gundlach said Monday. "We haven't established a motive."
Authorities learned of the shooting at 1:53 a.m. Sunday, when three men arrived at a hospital; each had gunshot wounds. Police are not releasing the hospital's name. The men said they had been shot while driving on Yosemite Boulevard near Riverside Drive, east of Mitchell Road.
A business owner nearby said he heard people running on Riverside, and police approaching, as he was closing his shop. He did not want to give his name for safety reasons.
Many in the neighborhood said they weren't around during the shooting and had not heard about it.
One woman, Norma Martinez, said in Spanish that she heard "loud noises like fireworks" late in the night. She and her husband live in a cul-de-sac just north of Yosemite, and heard seven or eight small explosions.
"My husband came to open the door but he didn't see anything," she said.
Aside from one small pocket of houses, the block where the shooting took place is dusty and commercial. An equipment rental place, a baked goods shop and a strip mall line the north side of the street. Railroad tracks run parallel to the busy boulevard's south side.
Yosemite was closed from Riverside to Trask Lane until 7 a.m. Sunday, Gundlach said, while officers scoured the area.
Johnny Vasquez walked along Yosemite while taking a break from work Monday. He paused in the parking lot of Yosemite Lanes to explain how he'd stumbled upon police Sunday.
Vasquez, 34, of Modesto said he was walking home from a friend's house east of Riverside when police stopped him. Vas- quez said he was walking west on Yosemite toward Riverside between 3 and 4 a.m.
"You can't go this way, it's a serious crime scene," he said the officer told him. He'd heard a single loud explosion earlier in the night and thought maybe there had been a head-on collision.
The officer told him he had to walk through the residential neighborhood north of Yosemite to get home. Vasquez said he tries to avoid Yosemite.
"I don't see a lot of gangbangers around, but they say a lot of stuff happens on this side of town," he said.
Police have not said whether the men shot Sunday had gang connections. Gundlach said police are trying to determine whether the shooter was in a vehicle or on the street.
Detectives have conducted several interviews and are looking for more witnesses.
Police say they hope people may have seen what happened because Yosemite is so busy, with a bowling alley to the west of the crime scene and trucks coming through the area "at all hours" to the east.
"We don't have a lot of information about motives, about suspects, who committed it, the exact location where it occurred," Gundlach said. "Things are real sketchy right now. We're hoping to be able to narrow it down as witnesses come forward."
Police ask anyone with information about the incident to call Detective Dale Lingerfelt in the Crimes Against Persons unit at 572-9551. Tipsters also can call Crime Stoppers at 521-4636, e-mail tips via www.modestopolice.com/CrimeStoppers or text them to 274637 (CRIMES) by typing "Tip704" plus the message. Tipsters can remain anonymous and may be eligible for a cash reward.
Bee staff writer Emilie Raguso can be reached at email@example.com or 578-2235.

Noah's Ark Replica Docks In Netherlands
By editor
Originally published on Tue December 11, 2012 10:55 am
Good morning. I'm David Greene, with news that Noah's Ark has docked in the Netherlands. Well, sort of. Johan Huibers built a full-scale replica of the ark on a river, staying as true as he could to God's instructions to Noah. The giant floating hulk opened to the public with some real animals: rabbits and parakeets. The bison and tigers are life-sized sculptures. There are modern creature comforts, like two cinemas and a restaurant. And on opening day, by God, it rained. It's MORNING EDITION. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

Anyone have the Zephyr Arc Layers, Venezia, Modena Wall hood?
Have crossed posted this on Appliances forum but not seeming to get much feedback...
Would love to hear if anyone has installed a Zephyr Arc Layers, Modena Wall or Venezia Wall over a AG 36" range (or rangetop). I would never use all 6 burners at once, maybe 3 max.
Any feedback on effectiveness, cleanability of filters and noise would be much appreciated!
I don't have experience with any of those hoods. I just looked them up online. I will just address the design. All 3 are the flat design, rather than a canopy style. If you really love the looks of the flat design, go for it, but be aware that the physics of a canopy-style hood make it a better design to capture smoke and grease. So that's a decision for you - aesthetic vs. function. Though canopy-style hoods are attractive too.
All 3 hoods you've listed have mesh filters. Mesh filters tend to clog quickly with grease, cutting down on efficiency. But if you wash the mesh filters frequently, this will not be a problem. Baffle filters do not have this issue, but hoods with baffle filters tend to be more expensive, and are usually not available in the flat hood design.
As to noise, you should make sure your ductwork is the appropriate diameter. If it is too small, your hood will be noisy, regardless of the brand, or how much it cost. It looks like the Arc needs a 6" diameter duct, and the Venezia and Modena need an 8" diameter duct.
I have had a layers arc zepher island exhaust for a year.. the wall version may work better then the island does. I have it over a 36" bluestar range top and it does not have enough capture space- only 2 screens. It is also loud even with an outside blower.
I love the look and get lots of compliments, but it catches a lot of grease splatter and needs frequent cleaning. Good luck to you,
We've had the 36" Venezia over a 30" gas range for over a year and are quite happy with it. Small kitchen with a wall 9" to the right of the hood. Vented directly outside. We do a lot of "fragrant" cooking and it takes care of everything. Filters are washed every two to three weeks by hand, but they could go in DW. Not a silent machine by any means, especially in the higher levels, but wasn't expecting it to be. Overall I'm happy with it. HTH
Thanks so much! I was considering the Tempest I as well, but really wanted a wall hood vs an under cabinet hood. I do like the flat style for a wall hood (or slim profile really), I guess that is a trade off with that design.
Is there another flat bottomed slim profile wall hood that I haven't thought of?
Or Anyone have the tempest I?
I have had the Venezia hood installed for 2 years now. Mine is a 30" over a 30" DF Wolf range. It functions well and I love the lighting it provides. My counters on the range run are 28 1/2" deep so I wanted a deeper hood. My kitchen is part of a great room set-up and I have seating at the island across the aisle.
I have no problem with the mesh filters and I too thought I would prefer baffles. They pop in and out easily and are easy to clean. We use almost no oil and don't prepare red meat or pork in our cooking. It's mostly steam from vegetables, homemade soups, and eggs that is quickly absorbed through the hood.
My one warning about this hood is the noise produced above the level 3 setting. I use a setting above three once a year when I make potato pancakes. I generally run it at level 2 or 3. We can carry on a conversation at our island and have the hood on level 1. We can watch TV (at normal volume) across the great room at level 2. We are sitting about 16' from the hood.
Overall, I am happy with the purchase. It looks good, is well-made and the stainless is not difficult to keep dust and grime free. It functions well for our family.

Zucchini Relish questions
I'd like to substitute some hot peppers for some of the onion. Is it ok to substitue 1 cup hot peppers for 1 cup onion? Would I put the hot peppers in with the zucchini and let sit overnight like the onion or would I add it with the other peppers?
Thank you
Linda Lou's Zucchini Relish
10 cups ground zucchini
3 cups ground onion
5 tablespoons salt
4 1/2 cups sugar
1 tablespoon dry mustard
3/4 teaspoon tumeric
1 1/2 teaspoon celery seed
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
2 1/2 cups cider vinegar
3/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1 red bell pepper, ground
1 green bell pepper, ground
Using coarse grinder, grind zucchini and onion. If large zucchini are used, remove seeds before grinding. Combine zucchini and onion with salt and let stand overnight in the refrigerator. Drain thoroughly.
Combine sugar, dry mustard, turmeric, celery seed, pepper, vinegar and nutmeg. Cook over medium heat until it begins to thicken; then add ground bell peppers and cook on low heat for 30 minutes or until desired consistency is reached.
Pour into pint jars, leaving 1/2 inch head space. Adjust lids.
Process in boiling water for 15 minutes.
Yield: 6 pints
Any kinds of summer squashes can substitute for each other in any recipes, pretty much --- use whatever you like the flavour of (or whatever is taking over your garden!).
Many people think yellow crookneck squash is more flavourful than straight, which may make the straightneck a great candidate for spicing up in a relish.
Zabby, being overwhelmed by Eight-Ball (a round, dark green squash) and some unknown vaguely pear-shaped light green one
Cucumbers can be slightly more acidic than zucchini. I think it would be fine. Personally, I think cucumbers may contain more water. So you may bleed out more water when you let them set over night and then drain them. The recipe may make a little less with cucumbers. I have not used all cucumbers but have used 4 cups of cukes and 6 cups of zukes. No problems.
Okay - I am in the process of making this, but I have a technical question that I'm not quite sure of. When am I adding the zuccini and onion? Do I add them with the vinegar, sugar and spices, or when the bell peppers get added, or am I not cooking them at all? I'm sorry if it's obvious, but I am just not seeing it. I don't want to do it wrong! Thanks anyone!
Thank you for asking that question, Beckilove, and thank you, booberry85, for answering it. I was just in the kitchen draining the zucchini mixture and reading the recipe for the next step when it dawned on me it said nothing aout when to add the zucchini mixture. Now I can go in and finish up.
Yes, thank you boobery! That is how I ended up doing it, so I'm glad I did it right! I haven't tasted it yet (actually, I probably won't, as I'm not a relish eater), but it looks pretty good. My husband will definitely let me know if he likes it, or not! Thanks for the recipes and all the answers!
What is the texture of this relish like? When I see "ground zucchini", I'm picturing mush that would come out of the grinder attachment on my Kitchenaid stand mixer. This would be nothing like the store-bought hot dog relish that I think of when I think of relish.
I shred the zucchini (and other veggies) because I prefer the texture over ground. Just an idea....
Here is a link that might be useful: Lindsey's Luscious (my food blog)
Zucchini Relish
A recipe I have only calls for 5 tsp. salt. Is that 5 Tbs.
Here's the recipe I have, which is similar:
10 cups ground zucchini
3 onions - ground
5 tsp. salt
Combine the above and leave overnight
Drain in the morning
2 tsp Celery Seed
2 tsp tumeric
2 tsp dry mustard
4 tsp cornstarch
4 1/2 cups sugar
2 cups white vinegar
1/4 cup water
2 green peppers, ground
2 red peppers, ground
Bring to full boil and simmer 20 minutes - put in jars
and can according to Ball method for similar relish
I make a spicy version of this recipe by adding whatever
kind of hot peppers I have on hand to taste. If I plan
on making spicy, I use all green bell peppers for the
relish; doesn't change the flavor, in my opinion. When the
relish has simmered for 20 minutes, I fill my jars with
half the mild relish recipe. Then I add ground red
colored hot peppers, such as cayenne to the rest of the
relish to taste. This gives a visual mild and spicy, so
labeling won't matter.(Get-togethers tend to result in lid
mix-ups - nice when you can see which is spicy.)
I also have a question about the zucchini relish. It is probably stupid but do you rinse the zucchini and onion mixture off after you let it sit overnight and drain it or not? Some of the recipes that I have read that call for the salting and draining say to rinse as well. Just curious. I have my first batch salted and sitting and will be ready to finish tomorrow morning but I would hate to not rinse and then it would be too salty to eat!! Thanks!
I just made a batch and they are cooling now. I can already see air pockets on the side. I am guessing I should open them, mix in the jars to release the air bubbles and re-process? Or should I boil them again and start over?
Similar problem with my apple butter. These have been in the cabinet for a few days. Can I safely re-boil & re-process the apple butter? It seems a little thin in consistency so I have no problem boiling for awhile to play around with consistency. Or should I just dump them?? Thanks guys!!
Yeah it is too late to reprocess the apple butter anyway - limit is 24 hours for reprocessing.
Air bubbles indicate a density problem as Ken said so I can't see how apple butter that is too thin would have air bubbles in it unless all the air wasn't removed from the jars during packing.
A few small air bubbles, while not ideal, aren't a safety issue but too many of them or large sized trapped air can be.
As to wash and drain after salt soak - yes, drain; rinse thoroughly with ice cold water and drain well again.
I am a little confused (but aren't I always???) If I were to re-heat the apple butter and boil it again for at least 10 minutes, then re-process, would that be considered safe? Wouldn't re-boiling kill anything that could have grown in the last 2 days?
Recooking and redoing the apple butter will be fine. I would add a little acid either lemon juice or citric, or better yet the acid blend I mentioned previously. It may also need a bit more sugar, so taste before sealing jars. It wouldnt be necessary to boil an additional 10 minutes before filling the jars. Just bring to a boil and fill the jars. If you have a bubble freer it can help reduce any possible bubbles. They are clear plastic and shaped like a long knife that you slide down into the jars where bubbles are seen. If its too thick, add a bit of frozen apple juice concentrate and/or water. The addition of a bit more acid and maybe sugar will help improve its safety. Keep in mind that your processing it again too, so that comes to almost 3 cookings. Those poor apples!
If I add hot peepers to the recipe will the heat disapate in the cooking process? Also which is bettewr to use large zukes or small ones or is there any differnce at all?
No the heat from the hot peppers isn't affect by the cooking. Smaller cukes give you a firmer, more crunchy relish. Larger cukes tend to make a mushy relish.
Remember when you substitute the total amounts of the ingredients must remain the same so you are subbing hot peppers for part of the sweet peppers, not adding extra.
Does anyone know if I can substitute wasabi powder for the dry mustard powder? I'm worried it might change the final flavour of the relish.
My MIL bought a large bag of it (it was on sale in an asian market) and now I got 2 lbs. in the freezer and I can't think of what I'm going to do with so much wasabi...LOL
I just finished my first relish, and it contains some air bubbles, less than a tbs. I tried to get them out, and thought the jars were air free before boiling, and read this forum after. Should I worry, or use it asap, or would it be okay to store? as far as wasabi, you can mix the wasabi powder with mayo and make a great sauce for sandwiches or burgers or as a dipping sauce for say fried zucchini blossoms or calamari or whatever. I would not use it in my relish. if your looking for some heat, use a fresh hot pepper of some sort.
I haven't reread this whole thread from last year, but last year I made my "zucchini" relish with a comibination of white pattypan and yellow straightneck squash. The relish is a bit pale in color - since there is no green zucchini skin. But other than that, I don't taste a difference.
Made 12 pints of this today using a mix of zukes, yellow summer squash and a few hidden monster cukes. Subbed 4 tsp. of mustard seed for the dry mustard since dry mustard on hand and 2 red chilies for some of the bell peppers. Also added 2 tsp. of powdered cloves since we like the clove taste in this particular relish.
Still have a couple of jars of the original recipe left from last year so we can do a taste comparison. :)
I see you used a mixture of squash and cucumbers. Since cucumbers are more acidic than the squash, do you think it is OK to increase them and decrease the squash as long as the total is not more than 10 cups?
Is it correct that the spices (dry or seeds) can be omitted, decreased, or increased according to taste?
My husband has an old family relish recipe that is not safe to use as is (it doesn't process in BWB and I don't even know about the safety of the amounts of ingredients), but he would enjoy it a lot if I could find a suitable substitute. It seems to be heavy on the onion and sugar. This Zucchini Recipe may be the closest thing I can find to his recipe, for now. I have PLENTY of cucumbers and zucchini and need to try something different with them. I did find a couple of relish recipes on NCHFP that are in the ballpark that I may try in small batches just for fun.
The family relish recipe:
12 ripe cucs, peeled and seeded
4 medium red sweet peppers
12 medium to large onions
Rough chop or grind.
Sprinkle � cup canning salt over the top.
Pour enough boiling water to cover and let stand 2 hours, then drain and rinse.
1 Qt vinegar
1 oz mustard seed
6 cups white sugar
1 tsp celery seed.
Mix and pour over cucs and boil for 1 hour until thick enough.
Seal in sterilized jars.
Thank you!
KSPrairie - My favorite recipe I pulled off the Ball web site a few years ago. It's heavy on the sugar with just celery seed and mustard seed.
Last year I made it with white pattypan and yellow straight neck squash, and it was a bit pale looking. This year I made it with white pattypan and zucchini - so it has a bit more color. Personally I think it would be ok to use cucumbers - just keep in mind that the relish would be quite pale.
8 c. zucchini
1 c. onion
Add 2 Tblsp salt - let sit for 3 hours then drain
1-1/2 c. vinegar
2-1/2 c. sugar
1 tsp. mustard seed
1 tsp celery seed
bring the brine to a boil
mix in chopped zucchini mixture
add 2 Tbsp chopped hot pepper
Boil for 20 minutes
BWB for 15 minutes
Makes 4 pints
Ladies at DH's church have been making zucchini relish for decades, I just got a look at the recipe. I was concerned that it was too dense, not enough vinegar but it is almost identical to Linda Lou's.
The only thing is, it calls for 4C of onion, not 3, and also 1 Tbsp of cornstarch similar to beklyn's. Vinegar, zucchini and sugar measurements are the same as the 2 recipes above.
Just checking - should DH suggest to the pastor that the cornstarch be omitted and processing time be increased to 15 min (instead of the "5 or 10 minutes" in the church cookbook)? What exactly does cornstarch do in canning?
I *think* he'd be able to suggest that the processing time be adjusted to modern guidelines, but this is a sensitive issue to the older ladies who have been making and selling this relish forever (actually I was relieved to finally see the recipe and find it's not that far off from what I assume is an approved recipe - Ball Complete recipe actually uses more zukes for 5 pints!)...
No. It likely wouldn't accomplish anything but to upset a bunch of the church ladies. Just don't buy any of it. Another good example of why one should avoid other folk's home canned goods and home canned gifts.
Is it safe? Who knows. Several possible issues but really can't say without seeing the whole recipe and knowing how much vinegar is in it and if the vinegar is diluted or not.
The recipe is the one I found on Oregon State extension site, except for the 1 Tbsp cornstarch and "5 to 10 minute" processing time.
I've said before I wouldn't touch this with a 10-ft pole as I said I was relieved when I finally saw the recipe and compared it to Linda Lou's, then found it on extension site.
But still wondering about the cornstarch - Ellie Topp has a recipe for zuke relish with cornstarch, so it can't be that it coats spores like oil. Is it a quality issue b/c it breaks down (that's what I've heard about pie fillings)?
Trying to think of a tactful way for them to modify the recipe - just give the new pastor a copy of the Oregon state recipe and point out that cornstarch isn't approved for canning (I'd like to give a reason), and the longer processing time?
I'd hate for the church to be liable if anyone got sick.
It's on Missouri website, but recipe says it's from Oregon (and probably Ball, but the link given in the footnote was broken).
Here is a link that might be useful: Zucchini relish recipe (1st one)
I talked to the lady who's in charge of making the relish (finding zukes, getting volunteers) this year and she's all for using approved recipe, I was going to print out the one from the link of Missouri website for her, but we were wondering if Clear Jel could be used since the church's original recipe uses cornstarch (I suggested just cooking a small batch to see if it really needed a thickening agent)?
She also said it was very sweet (to her taste), but I don't know about reducing sugar (4C sugar 2.25C vinegar to 10C zukes) since sugar reduces water activity?

The adult has yellow-orange legs, a black band across the forehead from eye to eye, and a black ring around the base of its neck. Like other plovers, it runs in short starts and stops. When still, the piping plover blends into the pale background of open, sandy habitat on outer beaches where it feeds and nests.

Well I would expect he would be none too happy. In his day, the radio news was pretty much a headlines-only reading, and more emphasis on commentary and analysis. A stock phrase of the radio era was "See your newspaper for more details."A lot of stations were owned by newspapers, so it was self-serving as well.
Network TV news began as early as there were networks. But as far as being in any way in depth, forget it. There was only 15 minutes alloted nightly to the news, so it was still barely more than headlines, and an occasional photo. Separate single topic programmes like "The War As It Happens" were also offered. There were film presentations too, made by the newsreel companies, for instance The "Telenews" was produced by News of the Day, the MGM newsreel. But the film was of days-old events at best.
During Daly's career, technology advanced enough to have far fresher film, but the same quarter hour format was in place. (there wouldn't be a half-hour network news show until 1963).
In that short space of time, only the most important of the day's events got in. The stuff that's covered now, all the "health", "Life Style" and especially all the celebrity puff was never worthy of a dedicated newsman's coverage. Those things were reserved for other programmes, the chat and homemaking shows aimed at women earlier in the day. Now it's so saturated in with hard news, it's importance is now blurred as to bring it up to the level of what's actually useful to know, or perhaps, it's brought down the level of the hard news to it's level.
The old line newsmen/commentators are virtually extinct. News shows mainly feature a handsome younger fellow with an expensive head of perfectly styled fake hair, and a beautiful and equally vapid feminine counterpart co-hosting. They laugh and kid each other a lot. Daly and his breed were craggy, balding, average looking, and down to earth men that earned their fame and positions. Today's versions are closer to actors.
If female anchors are now in the majority, it's probably more on purpose than by chance. They're there to help make it more airy and pretty. Woman can do that. These female newsreaders ain't going to look like, or have the experience of the late Mary McGrory. With 24/7 news channels, to keep the audiences tuned in, they want to keep it as light as possible. I've been watching tv news for many decades, and I'll tell you- the changing way it's presented has definitely become less serious. It's a lot more technosavvy, and bigger, faster and flashier, but far more dumbed down. Would Daly be happy? Not likely.

Sailors are hoping for two days of good wind in this year's Carolina Yacht Club Open Regatta that will be sailed Saturday and Sunday in Charleston Harbor.
Last year's regatta, which drew 120 boats, had good sailing weather on Saturday but the participants had to deal with light winds on Sunday, making for difficult racing conditions.
The Carolina Yacht Club Regatta is the fourth open regatta of the season and final Charleston Harbor event. Rockville, sailed on the North Edisto River, is scheduled Aug. 2-3.
Registration Saturday is from 9-10:30 a.m., with a skipper's meeting at 11 a.m. First warning for sailors Saturday will be at 12:25 p.m., while Sunday's first warning is scheduled for noon.
The event is open to all one-design boats with a minimum of four boats constituting a class. Last year's Carolina Yacht Club Regatta featured 15 classes. It is a points regatta for the SAYRA Junior Series for Optis, Sunfish, Lasers and 420s.
Two special awards will be presented on Sunday. The Henry Clay Robertson IV Trophy goes to the top sailor 16 or younger, and the Philip O'Neill Hanvey Memorial Trophy will be awarded to the sailor under 21 who exhibits integrity, sportsmanship, competitiveness and love for sailing.

The good news? Preemies are fighters, and modern medical technology can keep incredibly tiny babies alive. The survival rate for infants born at 26 weeks is now 80 percent; at 32 and 33 weeks, 98 percent; and between 34 and 36 weeks, 99 percent. A recent report on a study following two of the smallest preemies on record — born weighing less than 10 ounces each — found that both children have experienced normal motor and language development at 3 years old as well as hit developmental milestones at appropriate age levels.
I'm Having a Preemie — What Now? If you go into labor or need a C-section early, you may be transferred to the nearest hospital that can accommodate your needs. (Hospital nurseries offer different levels of care: Level I nurseries are for healthy, full-term babies; level II for babies born at 32 weeks and older; level III are for the smallest, youngest preemies, with specially trained medical staff and high-tech equipment.) If you know you're going to deliver early, Scott Berns M.D., senior vice president at the March of Dimes, recommends visiting the NICU beforehand. "It can feel intimidating," he says. In the NICU, babies are in enclosed incubators, often with feeding tubes, IV lines and heart rate and oxygen monitors attached to their tiny bodies. Visitors are limited, and they must scrub in upon entering the unit.
"There are 30 to 50 beds in some NICUs filled at one time; you're seeing other families come and go, and it can be very stressful," says Kelli Kelley, executive director of Hand to Hold (handtohold.org), a support organization for parents of preemies. Once you deliver, don't be afraid to quiz the doctors and nurses about unfamiliar equipment, terms and procedures, says Burbank, California, dad Steven Worley, who has been through the NICU experience twice — with Maggie, now 5, and Sam, now 3. "You really need to educate yourself on what it means to have a premature baby," he says. "It's OK to ask, 'Can you explain exactly what that means?'"
Why Me? There's no single cause of preterm birth. Risk factors include smoking, obesity, chronic medical conditions (diabetes, high blood pressure) and having had a previous preemie. Medical reasons include pre-eclampsia, infection and placental abruption. Women carrying multiples (who compete for space and nutrients and become stressed) are also much more likely to give birth early. However, a large percentage of babies are born early for no known reason. "You can do everything right and still have a baby born too soon," says Dr. Berns. "Almost half the time, we don't know why it happens."
Bonding, Interrupted It's a tricky business with preemies — usually, you can't even hold your baby at first. Parents often feel shock, numbness and disappointment. "You have this image in your head about how the perfect birth and bonding should be," says Beth Maclin of Hazel Crest, Illinois, whose son Carter was born at 29 weeks. "The worst thing about having a preemie was the feeling of the rug being pulled out from under you. You feel so helpless." Still, there are ways to get to know your newborn.
