Most readers of this blog have already heard of the events of last Monday here in Milwaukee.

A contemporary wallcovering in the Arts and Crafts traditionThe Oakleaf pattern caught my eye in that it is a contemporary rendering done in a very traditional manner. Its simplicity and monochromatic colorway all speak to the modern, while the vining, intertwining nature, and density of design all speak of master designers from long ago. I like seeing ideas of the past reflected in current designs. Even the handmade nature of the linoleum block-printing hark back to the Arts and Crafts period happening in the late-19th to early-20th centuries.

Two RooksMy student rental on one of the famous hills in Cincinnati yielded a one bedroom first floor apartment in an older house on a busy street. It seemed safe, was affordable, but most importan,t and the selling point for me, were the Rookwood tiles embedded in the fireplace and doorway frame. Such tiles were popular at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, both on the exteriors of buildings for fireproofing qualities in response to the Chicago fire of 1871, and on interior surfaces, reflecting the public's desire for more sanitary conditions. tile, Sara Alice Toohey, Rookwood, Cincinnati, earthenware, Arts and Crafts |

While best known as one of the country's most well-informed and thoughtful observers on China, Orville Schell has also been a ship-hand, a war correspondent in Indochina, a rancher, a journalist reporting for such magazines as The New York Times Magazine, Harpers, The New Yorker, TIME, Wired, and Foreign Affairs. He has been a contributor on China for PBS, NBC, and CBS, where a 60 Minutes program of his won an Emmy. He has also served as a correspondent for several PBS/Frontline documentaries on China and Tibet and covered the war in Iraq for The New York Review of Books.
Until recently, Schell served as Dean of the Graduate School of Journalism at UC Berkeley. While he remains on the UC Berkeley faculty as Professor Emeritus, he is now Director of the Asia Society's newly established Center on US-China Relations in New York City. In this capacity, he leads new programs on the environment, the media and foreign policy in an effort promote more constructive dialogue between key Chinese and American leaders. He is also a Fellow at the Weatherhead East Asian Institute at Columbia University.
Schell serves on the boards of the Climate Policy Institute and Current TV and is a member of the Council on Foreign Relations. His written work includes some fifteen books, ten of them about China, including Virtual Tibet, Mandate of Heaven and Discos and Democracy, as well as the five-volume China Reader. He is currently working on issues relating to the environment, politics, and economic reform in China.
His lecture topics include: "How sustainable is the China boom?"; "What is the future of Tibet?"; "China: The Environment and Climate Change"; and "Is the American media letting us down?"
Schell has been honored with fellowships from the Alicia Patterson Foundation, the MacDowell Colony, the Guggenheim Memorial Foundation and the Freedom Forum at Columbia University. He has also received numerous honors, including the Overseas Press Club of America Award, a Page One Award, and, most recently, the Shorenstein Journalism Award from Stanford and Harvard Universities for the best coverage of Asia.
Schell, who has an active interest in photography, has also written the opening essays for such books as Jack Birns' Assignment Shanghai, James Whitlow Delano's Empire: Impressions from China, and Sebastiao Salgado's Sahel: The End of The Road. Schell is currently working on a book on Chinese history for the Modern Library at Random House.
"Mr. Schell's blend of graceful analysis and unobtrusive firsthand reporting... skillfully captures the improbable, even surreal, air of theater that pervades much of contemporary China."- The New York Times Book Review
"Orville Schell has for more than 30 years been widely admired for his original and resourceful journalism, especially his nine books and many in-depth reports for The New Yorker and other publications about China."— The San Francisco Examiner

LA LED To Launch Lumenator Portable Light - The Lumenator photography light will be an expandable, customisable and portable lighting solution.
LA LED are launching a new portable photography LED light.
Called the Lumenator, the light is a portable alternative to studio lighting, and is expandable, modular, dimmable and colour selectable.
The Lumenator gives the photographer a portable and versatile lighting system that can be packed away into a bag, and can run off rechargeable batteries, or be plugged into the wall or a car.
There are three different light bars that can be attached to the Lumenator kit:
- The Tru Bar, a daylight balanced bar that is included as standard and gives out 1200 lumens.
- The Tailor Bar, which enables you to adjust the white balance with a kelvin selector.
- The Hue bar, which is an RGB module that allows you to change colours with an onboard controller.
A basic Lumenator Kit is set to retail at around $299. It should be available to buy later in 2013.

Andy rescues Teresa from that logical hole and moves on. Per a viewer's question, Melissa admits that she holds Joe equally responsible for the escalating madness at baby Joey's christening. Another question: "Do the Gorgas have a temper problem?" Kathy says they're just too passionate. Teresa drags her in, saying, "And she's half Gorga." Blame is literally the only time Teresa will share any credit, huh? Then they all go into the blow-by-blow account of who got punched and whose hair was pulled, but it's all kind of boring and tertiary, so watch the clip if you're really interested. Moving on!
A viewer wonders if Gia, who was particularly upset at the time, has seen the footage of the christening since. Teresa says she doesn't have to, she lived it, but that she might have. Caroline points out that their families all watched it in the Lauritas' basement along with the Gorgas. What weird, nightmarish gathering that would have been! And not filmed! Why would they have done that? These people are crazy, y'all.
Caroline mentions how Joe anticipated the "beating" he would take from viewers. Teresa senses her cue to position herself as high and mighty, so she says she never asked for an apology and forgave him outright. Caroline: "That's forgiveness? I'm looking at forgiveness right now?" She adds that Teresa told her she didn't want to make up with her brother because he was an a-hole. Teresa calls Caroline a pathetic liar, and Melissa has to pick her jaw up off the floor. Cue more split screen as Teresa calls Caroline "the friggin' Exorcist [sic]."
The drama is cut when they play a package of "Jersey speak," including many instances of the word "youse," Melissa's "Amazing Grace" malapropism ("wench" for "wretch"), the Gorgas' "work ethnic," Teresa's "ingredientses," and so forth. And speaking of nonstarter packages, let's take a look at the Gorgas' sexuality! After a clip about Melissa's singing "career" that features many a "Thank you Jesus!" a viewer asks if Melissa if half black. Apparently she has been asked this many times and teased about it by her sisters. Of her "career" moving forward, Melissa admits that it's getting a little costly and leaves things open-ended. Andy questions Teresa about her dismissive attitude toward Melissa's singing, which segues into the fact that Teresa has also taken credit for Kathy's move into baking. Teresa maintains that the success of her cookbooks is what gave Kathy the push to pursue baking commercially. Kathy just rolls her eyes.

Once everyone returns to camp, Sandra starts in on one of her usual Bullying Lectures to the Annoyed and Ultimately Indifferent about how nobody can trust Jon, "that bitch." "He will backstab you in a fucking heartbeat just like he did everybody here," Sandra says angrily, forgetting that, of the people there, Jon really only backstabbed herself and Christa. While her worldview would indeed tend to suggest that that's "everybody here," it's actually not. Jon, in return, calls Sandra out for having done nothing but ride Rupert's coattails, and says, "Guess what? That coat just left." It takes me a moment to grieve for the fact that "that coat just left" is the best he could do with the "coattail" setup. Then again, his showing any trace of genuine wit at this point would have come as such a shock that I would have never had the hiccups again. "Every time a plan went down, you put it together," Sandra volleys back. Now, wait, just who is that supposed to piss off? Again, the only people who are unhappy about what just happened are Sandra and Christa. Everyone else was in on it, so what's the point of declaring him the mastermind? Isn't she essentially telling the rest of the players that Jon is responsible for getting them to where they are now? Aren't they likely to...you know, thank him? Sandra is very passionate and plain-spoken, both of which are qualities I appreciate, but her percentage in terms of sense-making is not so high.
Jon, looking even creepier and scragglier than usual under the punishing gaze of night vision, interviews that tribal council that night was "one of his proudest moments in this game." He says, in a way he thinks is magnificently perceptive, that "the one factor you can always count on is greed," and he goes on to cite Tijuana's and Darrah's "greed" for their decision to come aboard the new alliance with him and Burton. It's not greed, in fact, because greed has to do with wanting more than you need, not looking out for yourself when other people are legitimately out to get you. I mean, what would have been the non-greedy thing to do? Intentionally let yourself lose the game? ["That would have been the noble thing to do, I believe." -- Rupert] It's just another installment of Jon's usual self-aggrandizing yammerfest, and his efforts to cast the game in epic terms as if he's secretly taking advantage of other people's dark sides like some kind of cynical, Darth-Vader-ish savant are about as credible as everything else he has said and will say in this episode. Convincing people they can do better in an alliance with you isn't really leveraging any quality of theirs, after all, except the fact that everyone wants to win. I'm not even going to waste the breath involved in telling Jon to shut up, because his existence squanders enough of the earth's oxygen as it is.

Parody trailer imagines Lando as the "Shaft"-like star of the hit fantasy film series
Our friends at Collider alerted us to the presence of a hilarious parody trailer for a blaxsploitation prequel to "Star Wars," called "Blackstar Warrior." The film that never was centers on Lando Calrissian and re-imagines him as a gambler, outlaw, and lover of ladies. George Lucas should definitely have made this film instead of "The Phantom Menace."

I researched international transfer organisations many years ago, and decided to go with CD. I never had cause to regret it.

Man uses GPS on Droid to refute speeding ticket
Sometimes, all of Google's wonderfully intrusive inventions can come in useful.
I am moved, you see, more than usual by a story in SkatterTech of a man who got a speeding ticket.
The police accused Sahas Katta of going more than 40 mph in a 25 mph limit, according to the story, which was authored by Katta himself. Katta was a little taken aback. He said he felt sure he wasn't going quite that fast. Fortunately, his Motorola Droid cell phone enjoyed Google MyTracks, according to his account.

I'll leave the arguing over what was the best Super Bowl ad to others, though I did appreciate the partying old folks in the Taco Bell commercial.
When the power went out at the Superdome, the Oreo cookie folks' quick thinking -- to make the most of the occasion via Twitter -- is getting a lot of praise in the marketing world. Their ad agency, 360i, tweeted out an ad saying it was OK to "dunk in the dark" while the power was still out. The ad was re-tweeted 14,000.
How'd they do it, and why should a government contractor care?
Here's why: The 360i folks watched the Super Bowl with Oreo's brand team, according to the Washington Post.
Whoever came up with the idea for the Twitter ad only had to look across the room to get approval to send it out. I like to think of the conversation taking place over a bowl of hot chili and a cold beer.
But, it's a great lesson in having a tight relationship with your customers. Without it, opportunities are lost.
So maybe a new measure of how close you are to your customers is to ask: Would they watch the Super Bowl with me?
If the answer is no, then maybe you have some work to do.

70,000 Bonus Points Promotion: Ritz Carlton Rewards® Credit Card
Editor's Rating: 4.5/5.0
This section describes and explains the sign up bonus promotion of this card in greater detail: How to get the extra points? What can you use it for?
Intro Purchase APR | Regular APR | Annual Fee | Issuer | Credit Needed |
N.A. | 15.24%*(variable) | $395 | Chase | Excellent |
At this moment, this card is having a 70,000 bonus point promotion. This is how it works. You need to spend $2,000 during the first three months of getting your card and 70,000 points will be deposited into your Ritz Carlton account.
The key question is how much is the 70,000 points worth. It really depends on the tier (or category) of hotels you are using the points for. At the top of the range are category 5 hotels. They require 70,000 points to redeem for a night's stay. At the lower end are the Tier 1 hotels which require only 30,000 points for a free nights's stay. Hence, you can get two nights stay if you redeem for a Tier 1 hotel.
Another thing to bear in mind is that since Ritz-Carlton is part of the Marriott group. Hence, you can also redeem points for stays at Marriott hotels.
Below are the point redemption charts.
You can get even more bang more the buck with their "point savers" program where you need less points than usual. But these are limited to certain hotels and require advance bookings.

Past members | Craig Fortnam Khyam Allami |
Knifeworld is a British-based psychedelic rock band led by Kavus Torabi. Originally a Torabi solo project, it became a full band in summer 2009.[1]
Knifeworld has connections with various English musical projects both inside and outside the rock world, sharing members with Cardiacs, Chrome Hoof, North Sea Radio Orchestra and Sidi Bou Said (as well as featuring London-based oud player Khyam Allami as drummer).
Originally born in Tehran before a move to England while still a baby, Torabi had previously played with a succession of bands. Beginning his career in Die Laughing.[2] and Squid Squad in his native Plymouth, he had moved to London and come to public attention as one of the two singing guitarists in The Monsoon Bassoon. Playing what Torabi described as "lysergic funk" and various reviewers described as psychedelia and math-rock, The Monsoon Bassoon scored three Singles of the Week in a row in New Musical Express in 1997 and 1998 and released a single album, I Dig Your Voodoo before splitting up in 2001. During this time Torabi had become a well-established member of the group of musicians centred around Cardiacs, whom he joined as guitarist in 2003, playing with them until the group's enforced halt in 2008.
Torabi had formulated the ideas for Knifeworld as a solo project at around the time of the breakup of the Monsoon Bassoon, but took eight years to assemble, finalise and record the songs. For the band's first recordings, he played the bulk of the instruments himself (guitars, bass guitar, keyboards, santoor, melodica, violins and "devices") as well as singing the majority of the lead vocals and writing, producing and arranging all of the material.[3] Former Sidi Bou Said drummer Melanie Woods sang the rest of the lead vocals and also sang backing vocals. The recording sessions featured further contributions from a broad swathe of musical collaborators drawn from Torabi's contacts on the London art-rock scene. Drums were played by Khyam Allami (ex-Ursa and Art of Burning Water). James Larcombe (Stars in Battledress/North Sea Radio Orchestra) played piano and Ben Jacobs (aka Max Tundra) played keyboards and trumpet. Katherine Blake (Mediaeval Baebes) played recorder and Crawford Blair (Geiger Counter/Foe/The Slow Life) contributed some bass guitar parts. Torabi's former Monsoon Bassoon bandmate Sarah Measures contributed saxophone, clarinet and flute, and further vocals were provided by Shona Davidson and former Ring singer Johnny Karma.
The debut Knifeworld album – Buried Alone - Tales of Crushing Defeat - was released on Torabi's own Believer's Roast label (via Genepool distribution) on August 17, 2009. It was preceded by the download single 'Pissed Up On Brake Fluid' on July 13, 2009.[3] In summer 2009 Torabi set up a live Knifeworld band, led by himself as singer and guitarist with Woods remaining as second singer and Allami as drummer. Three new members were added: bass guitarist Craig Fortnam (better known as the leader of North Sea Radio Orchestra) and two members of the avant-garde rock orchestra Chrome Hoof (keyboard player Emmett Elvin and bassoonist/saxophonist/backing singer Chloe Herington). The live band made their debut at 93 Feet East, Spitalfields, London on 18 August 2009.
Soon afterwards, Torabi would formally establish this live lineup as the full Knifeworld lineup, transforming it from a solo project to a full band. Drummer Steve Gilchrist would occasionally deputise for Allami whenever the latter's burgeoning career as an ud player made him unavailable). In winter 2010, Knifeworld began new recordings. In December, the first full-band recording emerged: a cover version of the Cardiacs song 'Stench of Honey' appeared on Leader Of The Starry Skies: A Tribute To Tim Smith, Songbook 1 (a fundraising compilation album to benefit the hospitalised Cardiacs leader Tim Smith).
In July 2011, Knifeworld released the Dear Lord, No Deal EP, another full band recording. During the winter of 2011, Knifeworld changed its lineup again. Both Allami and Fortnam departed amicably to concentrate on their own projects. Torabi recruited former Veils drummer Ben Woolacott, and Charlie Cawood (a multi-instrumentalist who also played with Tonochrome, Spiritwo and a host of bands in various disciplines) joined as the new bass guitarist. The new lineup recorded the Clairvoyant Fortnight EP, released in the summer of 2012 (and accompanied by a striking video shot by Thumpermonkey's Michael Woodman, set in an Edwardian seance and featuring a guest appearance by snooker star (and progressive rock advocate) Steve Davis.
In the early autumn of 2012, Knifeworld teamed up with two other bands with similar aims (London's The Fierce and the Dead, and Salford's Trojan Horse) for a series of British gigs called the Stabbing a Dead Horse Tour. Shortly before the tour the band became an octet, adding two more saxophonists (Josh Perl and Nicki Maher). The band would play further assorted gigs in the UK during 2013, and in September 2013 released their first new material for over a year - the download single "Don't Land On Me", which featured a guest appearance by former Do Me Bad Things singer Chantal Brown and a performance video filmed by The Chaos Engineers.

3 in custody following police pursuit
Police chase started in Shawnee
UPDATED 2:42 PM CDT Jul 12, 2013
Three people were taken into custody following a police pursuit that started in Shawnee.
Shawnee police said the pursuit started when an officer saw people leave a store in the 6400 block of Quivira Road with several items about 12:45 p.m. When the officer tried to investigate, police said the suspects rammed his cruiser with their car.
The driver took off northbound on Interstate 35, exiting at Southwest Boulevard.
The pursuit continued into Kansas City, Mo., and ended near 25th and West Pennway streets, where the occupants of the car jumped out.
All three were taken into custody a short time later.

Since their 1996 formation in the Bay Area of California, Out Hud has played a complex but danceable brand of indie rock with debts owed to disco, dub, and post-punk. Prior to their 2002 debut album for Kranky, the group released a number of vinyl-only singles and EPs (for Red Alert, Dead Turtle, GSL, and 5 Rue Christine), built a small word-of-mouth following through their live shows -- which often caused otherwise sessile indie rockers to dance -- and relocated to New York. The group consists of bassist Nic Offer, cellist Molly Schnick, guitarist Tyler Pope, and drummer/vocalist Phyllis Forbes; they are also aided by mixing board operator Justin van der Volgen. Offer, Pope, and van der Volgen share membership in !!! (pronounced "chk chk chk") as well. Let Us Never Speak of It Again, the group's second album, was released by Kranky in early 2005. ~ Andy Kellman

While I love the Texans as much as anyone here, how many winning seasons have we had? How many Super Bowls have we gone to, much less won? What point are you honestly trying to make here? The Texans gave done a lot better since we hired Phillips, but we have not PROVEN a damn thing yet. |

Re: Ed Reed to visit Texans
The question wasn't whether they were up against the cap; it's how much they get for that cap money. When you tie up a huge portion in one position, that just leaves less to go around elsewhere. Because of the premium put on QB, the number tied up in that position is naturally higher than what you'd tie up in someone like Ray Lewis. The Ravens haven't had to spend $100M+ on a QB before. Now that they are, it'll be interesting to see what that will impact on the rest of the field.

Re: Ed Reed to visit Texans
Well, this is over.
A player doesn't spend the night, then leave without a deal. You can get a deal done in less than 24 hours, especially when you spent the previous day and night being hand-jobbed by Texans' execs. Ed's going to sign with Baltimore, just like Bodden used us to squeeze out more money from the Patriots. I had a cautionary feeling this might happen. Had been joking about it off and on, but frankly you don't leave without a deal in today's NFL unless you're easing out and moving onto the next team. All in all, if he is really gone...it might be for the best. It was for the best that Bodden didn't sign with us. So...yeah, sometimes the best gifts are unanswered prayers. At least that's what Garth Brooks says.

Re: Ed Reed to visit Texans
Move on, like we did from Aso two years ago, and go find the next man who wants the job. Texans, as a people, are very welcoming...but we also know when to walk away and head a different direction. Am hoping this gets done today OR tomorrow by noon with a 3 pm presser at latest. If not, this deal is off and the only reason his advisors remained was to try some last-second negotiations to close a better deal for Ed. Him leaving means there was a window, IMO, and it is about to close. This might be for the best. Whatever will be, will be. Etc. It's just a game, folks.

How about you let the guy coming off a debilitating foot injury play some games first and prove to you he can still be the same player before you pay him like a top 10 QB... |

Re: Ed Reed to visit Texans
OK, fine.
We should have said here's the amount we'll spend IF he signs by noon on Friday. If he signs anytime after noon on Friday, the amount reduces to THIS amount. If he isn't signed by midnight...we're off to the next Safety candidate. This is what we did two years ago, and obviously we landed a better CB AND a S at the same time in J-Jo and Manning......so, as you can see, you can shop our offer all you want. Our offer changes drastically as the clock ticks down. You can take a great chunk NOW or hope another team meets that or exceeds it after noon on Friday. I mean, seriously, I hope we played hardball and aren't all weak in the knees and acting like Ed Reed and his advisors are driving the bus here. Surely Rick Smith has the same smarts on this as he did on the Aso-J-Jo-Manning scenario two years ago, which is: Stick with a timeframe, then bail and onto the next guy(s) if Plan A stalls after a set time. Right?

Re: Ed Reed to visit Texans
I think A sidd is probably going to be taking a hiatus for a while........ I can respect that Reed is giving the Ravens every opportunity to match the offer. It does suck, but I'm sure he gave them his word he would do that and a man is usually only as good as his word.

Re: Ed Reed to visit Texans
I don't see Schaub's contract as a huge issue. They obviously felt confident that he's going to be their QB for at least 2 more years. There is no alternative to him at the moment (I like TJ, but I don't think he's the replacement). And he can be cut after 2013 season without any or much of a hit to the cap. So, what's the problem?

Re: Ed Reed to visit Texans
Well, militarily speaking, you have to hit 38 of 40 to qualify expert and IIRC, 33 of 40 to be a sharpshooter. I don't remember what marksman was, because we didn't let anyone live down the shame of qualifying marksman. They always re-qualified.
Anyone but Schaub. |

Re: Ed Reed to visit Texans
I will NEVER forgive Rick Smith if this deal doesn't get done (and it looks like it won't). If Reed is using the Texans as leverage, it's because this incompetent staff lets them.
Deals don't take this long. You don't have to pick them up in your private ****ing jet. You don't have to make a three-day-long publicized drama to pump up his ego. Look at how long it took the Broncos to get something done with Wes Welker, the Eagles with James Casey and Connor Barwin, the Lions with Glover Quin the Patriots with Danny Amendola. Lay out the terms to his agent and say I need a decision by XXX or I'm moving on to my next option. Instead, the Texans chose the option of kiss the ground he walks on for days, all with apparently no guarantees from the Reed camp and while other notable free agents sign elsewhere. The problem with the Houston Texans runs rampant throughout the organization -- they're nice guys. There's zero killer instinct and ability to make the cutthroat decisions needed to win at a high level. We already knew it was true with the coach and owner, and this episode makes it seem equally true with the GM. |

Now this is strange! Seeing Jenna Jameson naked, pleasuring some guys while shooting a porn movie is something ordinary, but when I see her wearing bikini and having fun at the beach like any other human being, it makes me wonder is she faking?

She does look a little older in these pictures, but what the hell she is still the number one porn star right? Is she a celebrity? Well yea… sort off! Worthy enough to write something about her? Damn right she is! Although the porn star industry is growing every day, from time to time I like to see that even these sex goddess can have a normal life I wonder one thing though: how is the private life of a porn star?

Charles Durning
Feb. 28, 1923
in Highland Falls, NY
Dec. 24, 2012
in Manhattan, NY
Charles Durning has always been a survivor — and his 100-plus movie credits tell only a small part of his tale. As a young man, the scrappy character actor worked as an usher at a burlesque theater. He also worked as a professional boxer, elevator operator and even nightclub singer and ballroom dancer. Shortly after making his theatrical debut in Buffalo, N.Y., Durning was drafted into the Army during World War II as a rifleman and was severely wounded at the D-Day invasion in Normandy. The lone survivor of his unit, he was sent to England to recover. After his physical wounds healed, he was on the front lines at the Battle of the Bulge, where he was wounded and taken prisoner by the Germans. He eventually earned three Purple Hearts and the Silver Star. (His story was woven into an episode of CBS' "NCIS," in which he appeared.) After the war, he returned to dancing and worked as an instructor at the Fred Astaire Studios. Thanks to the GI Bill, he entered the American Academy of Dramatic Arts and began to work onstage around the country and in New York. He made his TV debut in an episode of the 1963-64 CBS series "East Side/West Side" and began to get some movie work. His stock rose in 1972 as a member of the ensemble of Jason Miller's lauded play "That Championship Season." Director George Roy Hill saw him in the play and cast him in 1973's Oscar-winning "The Sting" as a police lieutenant on the take. Later, Durning received a National Board of Review award and a Golden Globe nomination as a hostage negotiator in 1975's "Dog Day Afternoon." That same year, he earned his first Emmy nomination for his performance opposite Maureen Stapleton in the drama "Queen of the Stardust Ballroom." He received back-to-back best supporting actor Oscar nominations for 1982's "The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas" as the toe-tapping governor and as a Nazi officer with lust in his heart in 1983's "To Be or Not to Be." Returning to the theater, Durning won a Tony for the 1990 revival of Tennessee Williams' "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof." He also received a Golden Globe in 1990 for his turn as Joseph Kennedy in the miniseries "The Kennedys of Massachusetts" and was a regular and/or semi-regular on "Evening Shade," "Cybill" and "Everybody Loves Raymond."" He also has lent his voice to the ribald Fox animated series "Family Guy" as Peter Griffin's father and played Denis Leary's ex-firefighter dad on F/X's "Rescue Me." Durning died Dec. 24, 2012, at his home in Manhattan. He was 89.

One thought about Charles Durning
heavens yes Charles Durning should have a more thorough biography. With all of the movies, supporting roles and incredible performances that he has done throughout his career he should certainly be recognized for what he has contributed.
I believe that he is one of the most under-valued actors in our time. From Death of a Salesman to Boyfriend for Cristmas this man's career has spanned some 6 decades.
He is an INCREDIBLE contributor to so much of what the film industry has become over the course of the most influential period of the industry and to not recognize his contributions more thoroughly I think has been a HUGE oversihjt by the industry and this man is one hell of a talent and has supported actors who have had sex appeal or other attributes who have seized leading roles but have and never will be half the actor of Charles Durning.
He is genuinely a "legend" of the arts and probably one of the most undervalued but consistently high quality actors of our time. I for one am a HUGE fan of the man and I believe there are many out there who would appreciate and learn much from his contributions.

Cedar Rapids Weather
Bad Weather Won't Stop Linn County Casino ElectionBy Nadia Crow, Reporter
CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa - Today's snowstorm hasn't slowed voter turnout for today's Linn County gambling vote.
Nearly 6 percent of eligible Linn County voters had cast ballots in the county-wide referendum as of 11 a.m. today, according to a report from county auditor Joel Miller. 8,478 votes were cast between 7 and 11 a.m. today, according to Miller's report, representing 5.73 percent of the county's 152,754 registered voters. Turnout has been strongest at the county's township polling sites, with 6.69 percent of eligible voters casting ballots as of 11 a.m. Other totals include Cedar Rapids metro precincts, with 4,870 total ballots cast (5.39 percent); Marion precincts, with 1,455 ballots cast (5.66 percent); and metro area precincts including Fairfax, Hiawatha and Robins, with 581 ballots cast (6.37 percent). 12.3 percent of the county's registered voters cast early ballots via absentee voting, according to Miller's report — a total of 18,788 ballots. Turnout in most precincts is running well ahead of the last Linn County special election, the local-option sales tax referendum on March 6, 2012, where just over 5 percent of eligible voters had cast ballots as of 11 a.m. Polls in Linn County are open until 8 p.m. Any kind of weather concern tends to affect voter turnout. But with expected temperatures in the 30s Tuesday, the salt that road crews put down should work quickly to melt the snow. But that's not enough to ease the fears of people passionate about this casino vote. Some 20,504 Linn County voters have requested absentee ballots. And Monday, employees in the auditor's office worked to get those votes stamped, opened and counted. But dozens more lined up to cast a ballot in person Monday. "I'm afraid tomorrow I won't get out," said early voter Donald Carter. There was a consistent line at the auditor's office Monday from morning into the afternoon. But once voters got to the front of the line, there was just one question to answer on the ballot, do they want a casino in Linn County or not. "The ballot is simple. I mean, I don't see how you could mess that up, even me," said Carter. But just getting to the polls could prove a challenging task for some Tuesday. And that's why both the "Vote Yes" and "Just Say No" groups have been encouraging people to vote early. "We were headed to probably record turnout before the weather. I don't know what we'll have tomorrow," Miller said Monday. "It depends on what we get tonight and whether the streets get cleaned and whether people can get to the polls" One voter said he offered to pick up friends who don't have transportation to get them to the polls, but only if their vote will help his cause. Some voters said they walked to the county auditor's office to vote. Which is why the Miller is asking everyone to get out early and shovel the sidewalks, especially if they live near a precinct.

Triple H
Real Name
Paul Levesque
Date of Birth
July 27, 1969
Place of Birth
To further promote their feud and potential match at Wrestlemania 30, WWE posted this video interview of Triple H on YouTube. In it, the WWE COO was asked if he was afraid of Daniel Bryan since his character has been avoiding the match on Monday Night Raw these past two weeks.
March 7, 2014
At a Dragon Gate USA show, Kassius Ohno, who was recently released by WWE, took a jab at Triple H by having his opponent doing the crotch chop and Pedigree finisher, which Ohno was able to kick out of at the one count.
December 7, 2013
While some are under the impression that he is simply portraying a character, Sgt Slaughter was once actually in the military, more precisely the Marine Corps. He even achieved the rank of Sargent during his tenure. That was how wrestling promoters came up with his gimmick and character.
February 15, 2014
TNA star Gunner served in the United States military during the Iraq War.
November 5, 2013
Over the last few weeks, Mick Foley has drawn some heat from WWE fans because he has been critical of the product that Vince McMahon and Triple H are producing, especially in regards to how they are utilizing Daniel Bryan. Foley will probably draw some further ire with this Twitter post, where he praises Impact Wrestling.
March 8, 2014
Madison Square Garden is one of the most legendary venues in the entire world, and WWE is treating it as such this weekend. They're stacking up the show, despite it being just a live event. Triple H is even making an appearance. The main event will feature a special tag team match involving John Cena, Batista, Bray Wyatt and Randy Orton.
March 7, 2014
While management has yet to finalize their match at Wrestlemania 30, there are those that believe that WWE will be bringing in Shawn Michaels to join the story line between Daniel Bryan and Triple H. The former world heavyweight champion has a connection with both performer, and it would add another interesting wrinkle to the program.
March 7, 2014
Management has been praising Triple H heavily this week, in light of his ability to handle the hostile audience in Chicago during Monday Night Raw. He deftly allowed the fans to chant for CM Punk, while keeping the flow of his promo going smoothly. WWE was pleased with how the entire segment with Daniel Bryan and Stephanie McMahon came off.
March 6, 2014
During a recent interview, MVP revealed that he did indeed meet with Triple H about a possible return to WWE. However, he opted to sign with TNA instead. The former US champion stated that even though he wanted to return to WWE, he simply could not sign on for the hectic schedule that the company requires of its performers. He still wanted the option to do tours with New Japan.
March 5, 2014
After Monday Night Raw went off the air last night, Big Show and John Cena stormed the ring to save Daniel Bryan from an attack by Kane and Triple H, who managed to escape to the backstage area. Randy Orton, however, was not as lucky, as he was left out there alone with the three baby faces. Each of them hit their finishing move on the WWE champion.
March 4, 2014
Several modifications have been made to the Wrestlemania 30 poster. First, CM Punk was removed after he walked out on the company. Now, they have decided to add Hulk Hogan to the poster, as management feels that he is one of the biggest draws for the event. He joins Triple H, Undertaker, Randy Orton, Batista, Bray Wyatt, John Cena, Daniel Bryan and Brock Lesnar.
March 1, 2014
Since there are quite a bit of fans online who are pushing to hijack the show, WWE officials are rather concerned about what will happen at Monday Night Raw in Chicago this week. Vince McMahon and Triple H will more than likely change up the show, in order to try to placate the audience. Someone like Daniel Bryan or Undertaker could be used to open up things.
March 1, 2014
It appears that CM Punk has been officially removed from Wrestlemania 30, as his image does not appear on the new promotional poster. WWE has opted to feature Triple H, Brock Lesnar, Daniel Bryan, John Cena, Bray Wyatt, Batista, Randy Orton and Undertaker instead. Punk definitely would have been on this poster had he not left the company.
March 1, 2014
There are talks backstage that this potential match between Daniel Bryan and Triple H could simply be a ruse for Wrestlemania 30, as some feel that Bryan will eventually be moved into the main event match for the WWE Championship. Management wants to rush the heel turn for Batista because the fans have simply turned on him.

In a move to further sell their on screen relationship, TNA released this video of Ethan Carter visiting his on screen aunt Dixie Carter at her home. The two of them are talking about TNA Lockdown 2014.
March 5, 2014
Just to give you an idea of how valuable WWE considers Hulk Hogan to be as a marketing asset, the company has been plastering him everywhere, from Monday Night Raw to WWE Network to commercials. They are even posting this legendary entrance theme video on their YouTube account.
March 4, 2014
WWE has uploaded the quick hall of fame induction video for Paul Bearer that was shown on Monday Night Raw. It features stars like Daniel Bryan and Kofi Kingston doing quick interviews. It also features the legendary manager with Undertaker, Kane, Mick Foley and Vader.
March 4, 2014
Long before CM Punk made the move famous in WWE, Kenta Kobayashi was the man that created the Go 2 Sleep in Japan. It comes as no surprise that he would have a variation of the move, the Inverted Go 2 Sleep. The move is displayed here in this video.
March 3, 2014
Through Twitter, Angelina Love promoted the trailer for Night Cries, an upcoming movie that she has a role in. Part way through the video, you should be able to spot the former TNA Knockouts Champion.

As the WWE NXT Women's Champion was celebrating her victory, she was rudely interrupted by Ashley Flair and her legendary father Ric Flair. The scene can be seen here in this YouTube video.
March 1, 2014
As many fans already know, Jeff Hardy is returning to Impact Wrestling soon as Willow the Wisp, a character that he created before he became an internationally known star in the business. The first video was released by TNA last week, and now we have this second one to further tease the audience.
