Benny Baker
Learn about removing the ads from this memorial...
May 5, 1907
Saint Joseph
Buchanan County
Missouri, USA
Sep. 20, 1994
Woodland Hills
Los Angeles County
California, USA
Actor. Born St. Joseph, Missouri; married (one daughter); died Los Angeles September 20, 1994. The chubby comedian, Benny Baker appeared but never starred in over a hundred Hollywood movies from the Thirties to the Eighties. Baker was born in St. Joseph, Missouri, in 1907, and went to the Kellom Grade School, in Omaha, graduating from the Lincoln High School, Nebraska. His first job was in the advertising department of the Lincoln Journal. Later he drove a grocery truck, but all the time had the urge to entertain. He made his stage debut in �Andy Gump Runs for Congress'. In 1935 he was featured in six pictures, including �Love in Bloom' with Bing Crosby, �The Big Broadcast' with a huge all- star cast of radio favorites, and �Wanderer of the Wasteland', in which he was comic relief in a Zane Grey western. Nine films followed in 1936, from �Rose of the Rancho' to �Panic on the Air'. Next year there were five more including �Hotel Haywire', an early script by Preston Sturges, and �Blonde Trouble'. Later high spots were �Tip-off Girls' (1938) starring Lloyd Nolan, �She Married a Cop' (1939), and �The Farmer's Daughter' (1940). Of them all, perhaps Benny Baker is best remembered for his cameo role as one of Danny Kaye's army buddies in Samuel Goldwyn's Technicolor musical comedy �Up In Arms' (1944). He appeared in over 125 movie/TV episodes, including Perry Mason.

Celebrity Look of the Day: Emma Roberts Charms in Magenta
The actress chose a cheery color-blocked frock.
WHO: Emma RobertsWORE: Narciso Rodriguez for Kohl's dress, Edie Parker bag, and Christian Louboutin shoes
WHERE: Narciso Rodriguez Kohl's Collection launch party in New York City
Emma stepped out in a dress as bright as her personality onscreen and off, complete with black pointy-toed pumps and a pretty ponytail. And since the rest of Narciso Rodriguez's new line for Kohl's is as party-ready (and budget-friendly) as Emma's look, we can't wait to start shopping it!

This is now the fourth entry in a series of articles about sex and, in particular, about sexual detoxification—about replacing lies with truth. First I wrote about Pornifying the Marriage Bed, then about Breaking Free and finally about A Theology of Sex. Today the series continues with Detoxification.


text: Another legend receiving a Minerva Award in 2008 is tennis star Billie Jean King. Billie Jean helped raise awareness in the fight for equality in sports and contributed to the passage of the educational amendment Title IX. This amendment gave equal funding to schools' educational programs or activities that received federal funds so men and women could have the same opportunities. Before the bill passed, there were quotas in schools that limited the number of women who could become doctors or lawyers, but Title IX has changed all that. "I think most people think it's about sports because we're so visible," Billie Jean says. "But it's really about education." Billie Jean also created the first female professional tennis tour and fought for equal prize money for women's and men's champions. "This is how far we've come, people. When Billie Jean won Wimbledon in 1968, her prize money was just 37 percent of what the male tennis player won. That was 40 years ago," Oprah says. "When Venus [Williams] won Wimbledon in summer in 2008, she took home the exact same prize as the men's champion." While she was a member of World Team Tennis, Billie Jean also became the inspiration for the Elton John song "Philadelphia Freedom." "He used to sit on the bench at The Spectrum in Philly and be our cheerleader," Billie Jean says. "Then one day, we're going to a concert and he goes, 'I want to write a song for you.'" |

Nashua Telegraph: Medicaid expansion carries some risks to state
By REP. JACK FLANAGAN
Imagine if you are a minority voice at a meeting on a program that will cost the state an estimated $150 million dollars from 2017-20. Imagine that the current state budget is spending $50 million more than estimates say will be received in revenue. Imagine the state economy has been flat for the last four years, (with no change in sight). Imagine the state's largest employer is Wal-Mart.
The Sept. 5 editorial criticizing my comments about the tax impacts of Medicaid expansion seems to be based more on emotions and less on facts. Currently, the state of New Hampshire cannot afford the 10 percent portion that would be required to be paid under Medicaid expansion. The verdict is still out on any savings the state will receive with more people being insured versus not. Under that assumption, if we had to cut the program, I can see the media now: "Legislature makes draconian cuts to the poor".
But let's look at the facts:
• Twenty-six states have chosen not to expand Medicaid because of similar concerns listed here.
• Experts are indicating that, of the 58,000 who would be eligible, 34,000 already have private insurance.
• The National Council of State Legislators states that if interest rates go up, it will have a direct impact on federal spending.
• New Hampshire currently receives only 50 percent reimbursement on Medicaid payments now.
• President Barack Obama already proposed a $100 billion Medicaid cut in the debt ceiling negotiations.
• As shown in history, the federal government has already cut funding on other programs: Special education reimbursements have gone from 40 percent funding to 17 percent.
So, I repeat, my question: Where is New Hampshire going to get the money? What will The Telegraph's response be when we have to cut the program? Will the media criticize the federal government if and when they reduce reimbursements?
With medical expenses being one of the largest cost drivers in the federal budget and state retirement system, how will New Hampshire pay for this new program? As a state, we have limited sources of revenue: Rooms and meals, Business Enterprise and Business Profits taxes, liquor, cigarette and gas taxes, to name just a few. When we add a potential cost of hundreds of millions of dollars, an income tax will certainly be brought up as an option to keep this program. Not something I would support, nor this new program of Medicaid expansion.
It is easy to criticize a position when you don't look at all the facts. Trust me, the uninsured and the unemployed are constantly on my mind while serving in Concord. The editorial also implies that I have a "kill-Obamacare-at-all cost" mentality. As someone with a background in insurance, I can tell you that there are some good provisions in the law. However these are considerably outnumbered by its problems and unexpected negative consequences. Expanded Medicaid is only one part of Obamacare that should be looked at completely and for the long term. My position is, if Medicaid expansion is put in place, New Hampshire cannot afford the program after the initial three years. If the past is any reflection on the future, New Hampshire also will have limited funding sources to pay for this new program when interest rates go up and funding percentages go down, too.
Rep. Jack Flanagan, R-Brookline, serves on the House Committee on Labor, Industrial and Rehabilitative Services.

A short and stern challenge to some Manichæan teacher who had succeeded Fortunatus (supposed to be Felix).
Your attempts at evasion are to no purpose: your real character is patent even a long way off. My brethren have reported to me their conversation with you. You say that you do not fear death; it is well: but you ought to fear that death which you are bringing upon yourself by your blasphemous assertions concerning God. As to your understanding that the visible death which all men know is a separation between soul and body, this is a truth which demands no great grasp of intellect. But as to the statement which you annex to this, that death is a separation between good and evil, do you not see that, if the soul be good and the body be evil, he who joined them together1 is not good? But you affirm that the good God has joined them together; from which it follows that He is either evil, or swayed by fear of one who is evil. Yet you boast of your having no fear of man, when at the same time you conceive God to be such that, through fear of Darkness, He would join together good and evil. Be not uplifted, as your writing shows you to be, by supposing that I magnify you, by my resolving to check the outflowing of your poison, lest its insidious and pestilential power should do harm: for the apostle does not magnify those whom he calls "dogs," saying to the Philippians, "Beware of dogs;"2 nor does he magnify those of whom he says that their word doth eat as a canker.3 Therefore, in the name of Christ, I demand of you to answer, if you are able, the question which baffled your predecessor Fortunatus.4 For he went from the scene of our discussion declaring that he would not return, unless, after conferring with his party, he found something by which he could answer the arguments used by our brethren. And if you are not prepared to do this, begone from this place, and do not pervert the right ways of the Lord, ensnaring and infecting with your poison the minds of the weak, lest, by the Lord's right hand helping me, you be put to confusion in a way which you did not expect.
[1 ]Commiscuit.
[2 ]Phil. iii. 2.
[3 ]2 Tim. ii. 17.
[4 ]In his Retractations, i. 16, Augustin mentions his having defeated Fortunatus in discussion before he was made bishop of Hippo.

One thing I have noticed about pictures of jewelry in general is that pictures tend to make the items look better than they really are. Not the case here though. What Ive noticed about jewelsforme.com is that not only are the pictures great on the website, but the actual product even looks better! I will definitely be ordering again! Thank You!
GREAT color she loves them good size too.
Thanks, but stop process! Lara found the pendant! It was BENEATH the velvet which held the earrings in the bottom of the box, and wasnt visible until she removed the earrings to place in jewelry box, thereby removing the velvet insert! But thank you for being so upstanding and giving such willing wonderful service! I had to let you know straightaway, as I would never accept something extra I didnt pay for! Ill be back to you to purchase again, as THIS is a GOOD company!

Cranberry Cornmeal Cookies If ever there was a Thanksgiving cookie, this is it. Cornmeal adds both crunch and color, a fine counterpoint to tart, red, chewy bits of cranberry. This recipe is from my book, The Ultimate Shortcut Cookie Book: 745 Scrumptious Recipes That Start with Refrigerated Cookie Dough, Cake Mix, Brownie Mix or Ready-to-Eat Cereal.
1 (18.25-ounce) package yellow cake mix
2/3 cup plain yellow cornmeal
1/3 cup vegetable oil
2 large eggs
1 tablespoon grated lemon or orange zest
1 1/4 cups sweetened dried cranberries, chopped
RELATED Award Winning Cookies
Preheat oven to 350°F. Position oven rack in the middle of the oven. Spray cookie sheets with nonstick cooking spray.
Place half of the cake mix in a large mixing bowl along with the cornmeal, oil, eggs, and zest. Blend with an electric mixer set on medium-high speed for 1-2 minutes, until smooth. Stir in the remaining cake mix and dried cranberries with a wooden spoon until all dry ingredients are moistened.
Drop dough by teaspoonfuls, 2 inches apart, onto prepared cookie sheets.
Bake for 9-12 minutes or until set at edges and just barely set at center when lightly touched. Cool for 1 minute on cookie sheets. Transfer to wire racks with metal spatula and cool completely. Makes about 48 cookies.

Retaking These Screenshots at Your Resolution
Hi BluDude15. I'd like you to re-take the following screenshots at your highest resolution (1,919 × 811 px). Can you do that? It seems that your resolution is the highest one and therefore produces the best image quality. And here are few screenshots that can use some higher resolution from you right now.
You can update these existing files with your new screenshots (note that the MIME type must be the same as the original images in order to update) or upload them as whole new files, then I can delete these later once your new ones are in use.
Thanks, HarpyPurio (talk) 09:49, February 1, 2014 (UTC),

I know right?
Come on, a chocolate chip cookie dough blizzard… that I'm saying is "healthy"… and packed with protein, and gluten free… and can be vegan??
I must be losing it, book me into the loony bin… how could this be possible?!
Well… IT IS.
With a mix of whole, healthy, unrefined, good-for-you ingredients, combined, and morphed, then a dash of Nutritionist love…this Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Protein 'Blizzard'… or wanna-be Blizzard… was created!
I was seriously in Heavenly bliss for the 5 minutes it took me to eat this.
So… darn..delicious!
So, here's the back story to this recipe.
Every single day to and from work, and to and from many other places I often drive to, I pass a Dairy Queen.. this one random Dairy Queen just chillin' out, has been there forever, and I don't imagine it's going anywhere any time soon.
So every single time I drive past this DQ… I think of a Blizzard. The only thing I really used to ever get at Dairy Queen (we all know DQ isn't known for their burgers…blehhk!!)
I haven't had an actual Blizzard in SO long, and although I do crave one just a teeny tiny little bit every time I drive past that one DQ, I just can't bring myself to go get one.
First of, they have like a trillion calories (seriously, look it up, it's on the website), second of all super high-fat/high-sugar foods pretty much act similar to a violent laxative in my body (and, well yeah, that's no fun as I'm sure you can imagine), and well third, they're just BAD FOR YOU.
….but, they taste hella good, I'll give them that!
So, my solution? Make my own that will leave me feeling happy and not frantically searching for the nearest porcelain throne.
So.. first of all, I just want to get something right out into the open.
This Healthy Blizzard of mine… is not "low calorie". That being said, "low calorie" doesn't always mean "healthy" either! Remember, calories don't determine the nutritional value of foods!
This Blizzard IS however, made from whole, unrefined, good-for-you ingredients, and is MUCH lower in calories than the typical DQ Blizzard which sits at around 1,000 calories a pop (at LEAST!).
I wouldn't eat this Blizzard every single day, but as an occasional snack, post workout meal, or a healthy indulgence dessert, this is definitely a good choice!
I had my Blizzard for a post-workout meal one day, after some heavy lifting and a decent amount of cardio, and it was perfect for my body, and also fit nicely into my typical "meal" calories.
The first step to this Blizzard is to make the "Chocolate-Chip Cookie Dough" balls.
These are super easy to make and pretty much a combination of raw cashews, oats, almond milk, pure maple syrup, and dates!
Combine it all in a food processor, fold in dark chocolate chunks (I used Lindt 70% dark chocolate, which is dairy free… and the less sugar the better, or if you can find a dark chocolate with no refined sugars that's even better!), and roll into little balls, freeze, and a few hours later, voila! Cookie Dough!
These little cookie dough balls are great on their own as a little energy giving snack! I only used a few for my Blizzard and left the rest in the freezer to have as a little sweet bite here and there. Just remember… moderation Don't go eating 10 all at once!
For the "ice cream" in the cookie dough blizzard I used an old recipe I did last year when I first started the blog… Vegan Peanut Butter & Banana Ice Cream.
Basically, (and this isn't news to anyone, I know) you blend up frozen bananas, and it turns into a beautiful ice cream like consistency!
I added peanut butter to the mix, and oh, you-know-it, PROTEIN POWDA!! Yup, gotta get my protein in there! So I used my fave all natural Vanilla North Coast Naturals whey isolate… now, to make this ice cream base vegan, just sub in a vegan protein powder!
Once I had my ice cream base, I popped it into the freezer to firm up for a couple hours..as you can imagine the wait for this Blizzard was allllmost unbearable!
FINALLY, the Blizzard was ready to assemble! I scooped my firmed up Peanut Butter & Banana "Ice Cream" out of the tupperware into a glass, then a grabbed a few of the chocolate-chip cookie dough balls and cut them into smaller pieces, then in with the 'ice cream' they went!!
How I managed to get through taking so many pictures of this delicious concoction of perfection without devouring it is beyond me, but I did it!
The best part is that the cookie dough balls soften quite a bit when at room temperature, so as they thawed, I was able to mix them into the 'ice cream' so there was chunks of cookie dough deliciousness all throughout the Blizzard… just like the real thing!
So, I bet you all want to know… how does my Blizzard stack up in comparison to the DQ Cookie Dough Blizzard?
Let's see..
NITK Cookie Dough Blizzard:
388 Calories
42g Carbs
12g Fat
33g Protein
6g Fiber
16g Sugar
(Medium Size) DQ Cookie Dough Blizzard:
1,030 Calories
157g Carbs
40g Fat
17g Protein
1g Fiber
117g Sugar
Ummm.. so yeah… 117g of sugar… ONE HUNDRED and SEVENTEEN… ?! For REAL, WHO needs that?! (…and that's a medium sized Blizzard…they have large!)
Clearly, you can see, there's a substantial difference between the two, and I promise you, my version tastes just as delicious.
If you still aren't convinced, here's the ingredients list of the DQ Cookie Dough Blizzard taken right off their website:
Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough: Unenriched Wheat Flour, Sugar, Margarine (palm oil, water, soybean oil, mono and diglycerides, artificial flavor {milk}, colored with annatto, calcium disodium EDTA added as a preservative, vitamin A palmitate added), Chocolate Chips (sugar, chocolate liquor, cocoa butter, soy lecithin {emulsifier}, vanilla), Powdered Sugar (sugar, corn starch), Butter (cream, salt), Pasteurized Eggs, Brown Sugar, Corn Starch, Natural and Artificial Flavor, Salt. Dairy Queen Vanilla Soft Serve: Modified milk ingredients, sugar, glucose, mono and diglycerides, guar gum, polysorbate 80, carrageenan and artificial flavour.Fudge: Glucose-fructose, concentrated skim milk, hydrogenated coconut oil, fructose, water, cocoa (processed with alkali), cocoa, algin, salt, mono and diglycerides, potassium sorbate, dextrin, sodium phosphate, disodium phosphate, soy lecithin, artificial flavour.
and…what's in mine?
raw cashews, whole rolled oats, unsweetened almond milk, natural vanilla whey isolate, dates, pure maple syrup, 70% dark chocolate, bananas, natural peanut butter.
I like mine better.
Ok, enough enough, let's just get to the recipe Christal!
- For The Cookie Dough:
- 30g raw cashews
- ⅓ cup rolled oats
- 1 scoop vanilla whey protein isolate (or a vegan protein powder)
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened almond milk
- 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- ⅓ cup pitted dates (soak in hot water for easier blending)
- 30g dark chocolate (preferably 70% cocoa or higher)
- For the 'Ice Cream':
- 2 bananas, cut into chunks and frozen
- 6 ice cubes
- ½ cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 tablespoon natural peanut butter
- Peel bananas and cut into quarters and freeze. (I always have frozen banana chunks in my freezer for smoothies, or 'ice cream')
- In a food processor combine cashews, oats, and protein powder. Pulse until almost a flour consistency is achieved.
- Add in the maple syrup and almond milk and pulse a few more times.
- Add in the dates and process until all is well combined and the batter resembles thick sticky paste.
- On a cutting board, cut chocolate into small chunks with a knife.
- Transfer to a bowl and fold in chocolate chunks.
- With wet hands (very important your hands are wet as this will prevent the cookie dough from sticking, and will roll easier), roll cookie dough into small round balls. Place on a plate or cookie sheet covered with parchment paper.
- Batter makes 20 balls.
- Freeze cookie dough balls for at least 3 hours.
- Once banana chunks are frozen you can make the 'ice cream'.
- In a food processor or blender combine banana, almond milk, ice cubes, and peanut butter. Blend until smooth.
- Transfer to a tupperware and freeze for 2 hours or until firm. (if you leave for longer, and the ice cream is too hard to scoop, just let it thaw on the counter for a bit)
- Once your 'ice cream' is thick and scoopable, divide between 2 glasses.
- Add in a couple cookie dough balls to each glass, and enjoy!

I am trying out the paleo diet, so is there anything else to use besides oats for the cookie dough balls? Thanks!

LOVE this idea!
Just picked up dates and cashews – so excited to try this out! I did somehow skip over that I need almond milk. Could I use skim milk instead or would that just throw it way off?
No you totally could!! Just a milk of choice!
Hello! I'm making this right now and I'm excited. The only protein powder I have is my bf's (chocolate), so we'll see how the flavor turns out. Question- how much is in your scoop? Are they generally all the same size or is yours about 42g too? Grr I just read it has an artificial sweetener which gives me nasty migraines. Do you have any recommendations for a substitution?
Hi Alanna! My scoop is 1/4 cup – not sure the gram amount off hand – I love North Coast Naturals protein powder – it has no artificial sweeteners or flavors! It's the North Coast Naturals 100% Iso Protein! You can buy it in stores in Canada or online at vitamart.ca
Thanks for the info! I used half of that protein powder and half whole wheat flour. It came out really yummy! And no migraines The only problem is that when I wet my hands to form the balls, it mixed with the flour and got pasty, so I wouldn't recommend doing what I did. Otherwise, the bf, mother, and bff (and I) all liked it very much. Thanks for sharing!
Hey Alanna! So glad you liked it, yes it's a fine line on how much you want to wet your hands lol, so it doesn't stick but also doesn't get pasty, I had to play around a little bit!
Absolutely amazing… actually life-changing- thank you!!
lol! Awesome!!
This is so creative! I love your blog – I linked to you here. Have a great day!
Thanks Jordan!
[...] 3. Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Protein Blizzard [...]
I love looking over your recipes and trying them out. I live in the U.S. and sometimes your metric measures throw me. Can you tell me what the equivalent of 30g is in cups. Thanks so much!
Hi Stephanie, it depends on what you are measuring but about 1/4 cup!
is there anything you can substitute for the bananas?
Hmmmm… they play a pretty important part but you could make ice cream using cashews or coconut milk instead! Check out my latest ice cream recipe and see how I used coconut milk rather than frozen bananas – http://www.nutritionistinthekitch.com/2013/07/19/vegan-strawberry-dark-chocolate-chunk-ice-cream-and-fave-five-friday-vegan-ice-cream
Saw this pinned on Pinterest and laughed when I read the description. A "healthy" cookie dough shake? Yeah right. I tend to lean towards the Paleo style of eating, with a few exceptions, and I'm excited to see that this is pretty darn Paleo friendly minus the oats (which I still eat on occasion!) I can't wait until I REALLY need my cookie dough fix now!
Lol! I know – I don't fool when I say "healthy"!!
[...] inspiration: nutritionistinthekitch [...]
What if I used roasted cashews instead of raw?
It would probably have a different taste, and more fat, as there is added oils in the roasted cashews – but still taste yummy!
Holy crap this looks epic.
Lol, it sure is!!!
Oh my gosh this looks amazing!!!!! I am definitely going to try this. I tried a recipe for vegan cookie dough balls, and they were amazing, but definitely not healthy. This look fab. Thanks for sharing!
Lol not all cookie dough balls are created equal
Delish! So much good stuff in there. What a great little treat!
Thanks Kim!
Tried it. Love it! Eating one right now on a hot PEI| day.
Wonderful! So glad you like it Ruth!

Walter Gretzky, rescue demos thrill crowds at Shipbuilders' Square
The world's most famous hockey dad, Walter Gretzky, told politicians and health and safety stakeholders gathered in North Vancouver on May 6 how he was almost killed on the job.
Gretzky was the keynote speaker at a luncheon at the Pinnacle Hotel at the Pier, marking the Canadian launch of North American Occupational Health and Safety Week.
"I had an accident where a frame came flying out of a manhole on the street and hit me over the head," said Gretzky, who at the time of the incident was working as an installer and repairman for a telecommunications company. "I had a construction helmet on. [The impact] split my helmet in half."
That blow to the head put Gretzky in a coma and resulted in deafness in his right ear. He's also plagued by a permanent hissing sound in his inner ear.
But at Monday's event, Gretzky wasn't looking for sympathy. In fact, he became emotional when recounting the story of a Port Coquitlam boy who collapsed from cardiac arrest at his high school and went seven minutes without a heartbeat.
An Automated External Defibrillator (AED), on hand at his high school, saved the 14-year-old's life and had him back in class after two weeks. Gretzky said many people are alive today because of defibrillators, and is a proponent of having these life-saving devices in schools.
Other guest speakers at Monday's event included Andrew Cooper, president of the Canadian Society of Safety Engineering, federal labour minister Lisa Raitt, WorkSafeBC president and CEO Dave Anderson and City of North Vancouver Mayor Darrell Mussatto.
A paramedic currently on leave, Mussatto, when asked how the city can help promote occupational health and safety messages, said city hall should lead by example.
"I think the best thing we can do to support these initiatives is to make sure we have a healthy and safe work environment for our employees," said the mayor. "It's not permissible to have injuries in the workplace."
In 2012, penalties were leveled against 225 B.C. employers for violating occupational health and safety regulations, according to WorkSafeBC's annual enforcement report, released in February.
The construction sector accounted for almost 85 per cent of penalties. In total, WorkSafeBC fined eight North Shore companies in 2012, netting $49,485.
Mussatto said maybe the city should look at having some health and safety information from WorkSafeBC available for people picking up construction permits at city hall.
Following the NAOSH luncheon, guests wandered down to Shipbuilders' Square for a public event.
Onlookers watched as Royal Canadian Marine Search and Rescue vessels from Station 1 (West Vancouver) and 2 (North Vancouver) staged a dramatic marine rescue in Burrard Inlet.
In another high-adrenaline rescue demonstration, a construction worker feigning distress was plucked from a crane high above the square.
The event also featured more than 20 interactive exhibits offering health and safety tips.
For more information on North American Occupational Health and Safety Week visit www.naosh.ca.
Occupational Health and Safety in B.C. — by the numbers:
- 149 workplace fatalities (142 men and seven women);
- Four young worker fatalities (between 15 and 24 years of age);
- 86 workers died of occupational related diseases, most of which are related to asbestos exposures;
- On average, WorkSafeBC accepts three fatal claims each week;
- Workplace injury and illness accounted for 2,889,324 lost days of work;
- WorkSafeBC paid out $1.6 billion in claims (2011)

Nearly 250 years ago, the Founding Fathers signed the Declaration of Independence, marking America's freedom from British rule. But it came only after Americans paid a heavy price. Today we are reminded that our freedom still comes with sacrifice. The following is a tribute to local service members who have recently died. (J.J. Green, WTOP's National Security Correspondent)

Spencer Moore
Catalog #:
"88 year-old country singer Spencer Moore played a tent show with the Carter Family in the '30s, and was recorded in 1959 by Alan Lomax, who called him 'as genuine as a rail fence.' This is his debut album. In our headlong rush into the age of iPods and laptops, it is reassuring to know that there are still people around like Spencer Moore. In a rustic mountain home perched on a green hillside of the Blue Ridge Mountains of southwest Virginia, Spencer Moore remains almost untouched by modernity. He provides his own entertainment on an acoustic guitar now a half-century old. Knowing between 500-600 songs by heart, he can sing you most any old-time song known in this part of the Blue Ridge. Born into a family of 11 children on February 7, 1919 in the northwestern corner of North Carolina, Spencer was introduced to old-time music early on. After the family moved across the mountains to Laurel Bloomery the Moore family was exposed to more old-time music via their neighbor, the blind fiddler and singer, G.B. Grayson. Spencer's father acquired a wind-up phonograph and records. Hearing records by the likes of Charlie Poole, Jimmie Rodgers , Riley Puckett and their neighbor, G.B. Grayson, stoked the fires of Spencer's love of old-time music that much more. A few dollars bought him a guitar from Sears and Roebuck via the mail. In 1933, at age 14, Spencer attended the famous Whitetop Mountain Folk Festival. There he heard Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt sing 'Three Little Babes,' an old British ballad also known as 'The Wife of Usher's Well.' By the late 1930s, Spencer and his brother Joe were performing publicly themselves as The Moore Brothers in the Delmore Brothers style. It was during this period that The Moores performed in a tent-show with The Carter Family. In 1959, famed folklorist Alan Lomax along with Shirley Collins came into the hills of southwest Virginia to collect Blue Ridge mountain music. Lomax recorded a number of pieces by Spencer including 'Jimmy Sutton' and 'The Girl I Left Behind.' The performances were released on Atlantic and Prestige Records. Spencer Moore is a living link to our musical past. He knew and played with The Carter Family, G. B. Grayson and Henry Whittier. Such links are becoming increasingly rare. He is a treasure we should cherish."

Reports and tips from RoadsideAmerica.com visitors and Roadside America mobile tipsters. Some tips may not be verified. Submit your own tip.
We visited this creepy looking house in the middle of the day. Mom was forced to come because she was too afraid to sit in the truck alone while Dad and I explored the massive rock garden. It was very intriguing as we walked around, admiring each different "development" and how they were created. There were old headstones and millstones throughout.
A cat followed us around and we came to this massive barrel; I looked inside through the window and it was just storage for other materials. There was a tree statue thing made out of old tree limbs, an old prison door, endless gates and old benches.
I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that the altar that rises above this mass garden was at some time that of sacrificial devotion, but whatever it was -- it was definitely the coolest free tourist trap of the day! Props to the owner!
[Lockamy, 04/25/2010]From the street this appears to be just a house with overgrown shrubs, but there is an alley directly behind the house which leads you to the actual entrance to the Temple of Tolerance. It is set up like a very strange park. It is fascinating to see and I highly recommend going. While my husband and I where there though, there were a couple of shirtless teenage boys who kept following us around, just staring at us. Very weird!
[Mirullia Morneault, 03/29/2010]An ordinary house on an ordinary street in Wapakoneta, OH, transformed by James Bowsher into the Temple of Tolerance. The house itself is built up in front with stones and used monuments, while the back looks like some Japanese-inspired stone retreat run amok.
But the rear of the house is much larger than one backyard, Mr. Bowsher acquired the backyards of a number of his neighbors and it goes on much farther than you would have thought it could in the midst of an ordinary suburban block.
Twigs form canopies and arches, there are altars made of stone, rusted machine parts, porcelain fixtures, old gods and little plastic bits of something else. Twittering birds and frisky squirrels abound. Dogs in surrounding yards bark and someone somewhere was blowing a police whistle. It also looked like a great place to pick up local high school girls.

Famous for his enormously influential poetry and plays, Alexander Pushkin is also beloved for his short stories. This collection showcases his tremendous range, which enabled him to portray the Russian people through romance, drama, and satire. The sparkling humor of the five �Tales of Belkin� contrasts with a dark fable of gambling and obsessive greed in �The Queen of Spades� and the masterful historical novella, �The Captain�s Daughter,� a story of love and betrayal set during a rebellion in the time of Catherine the Great.
Translated by Natalie Duddington and T. Keane
Alexander Pushkin (1799-1837), known as the father of Russian literature, was descended from Russian nobility and from an African great-grandfather raised at the court of Peter the Great. Pushkin�s commitment to social reform resulted in government censorship of his work and a period of exile. He died after a fighting a duel at the age of thirty-seven.

deads or rackpulls, maybe?
deads or rackpulls, maybe?
True story:
I give a f**K!!
I do deads but since I'm tall there's Not as much hip involvement that'll help my squat, I'll look up rackpulls thanksOriginally Posted by waynaferd
My Workout Log
Pretty much half deads LOL that's all I can think of that really involves a lot of hip movement.
But maybe front squats or other types may help?
True story:
I give a f**K!!
that's a good question.
deadlifts are my major hip excercise. sometimes ill throw in a little isolation like bicycle (aka air bike; also works abs) and the gym's hip abductor machine if i have time (not the most comfortable exercise, let me tell you.)
I'm nearly 6 foot, and i have no problem doing deadlifts. i love em'. if you're really tall, try getting some 25lb plates(and bringing them to the gym) that have a huge diameter (so the plate hits the ground faster) and make sure to use them on the deadlifts. (i do it sometimes)
Im six feet tall, and my hips are quite involved in deads. Is your form on.
Yeah my forms on, my deads are good, but I need hip work for my deep atg squats lol, I'm thinking good mornings?Originally Posted by JoHNnyNuTZ
Lol were the same height, what's your morphology though? Deads come a lot easier for then squats
My Workout Log
LOL...got caught up in the reading this thread I lost your origianl question..lol...yeh..I can pull more. My legs are naturally big though from being a bi ol boy. My knees just suck. I found that doing lighter higher rep ATG sqauts helped when i went on to heavier ones.( I mean in hip strength)
Cable hip pull throughs, barbell glute bridge, glute-ham raise, rumanian dead lifts, kettle bell swings (when done correctly) are some examples.
Here's a really good article
Are you sure it's your hips and not a weak core?
M.Ed. Ex Phys
Good point, could be both, I'll post a video next time I do squats.
My Workout Log
Hip thrusts, weighted with barbell on pelvis done them before and they work very well i do them a bit variation with one leg in the air so its single legged.
Weighted hip thrusts - YouTube
Now i know there mainly a glute exercise but i feel they have helped my hips aswell.
Hip thrusts, preferably one leg at a time, are one of my favorites. Also, call me crazy, but I do stairs on one leg up about three flights and it hits my glutes pretty hard. One leg box jumps work also.
Get strawng!

Orpheus Sinfonia CD Premiere!
- Published on Monday, 25 November 2013 13:57
Orpheus Sinfonia and Emmanuel Despax – Concertos by Goss, Franck and Saint-Saens
Orpheus Sinfonia is delighted to announce the release of our first CD. We were thrilled to be joined by Emmauel Despax at our April concert this year which was a resounding success and culminated in this, our first, CD recording.
Featuring the dramatic Piano Concerto No 2 in G minor by Saint-Saens, the shimmering, glittering Piano Concerto by Stephen Goss and concluding with Cesar Franck's Variations Symphoniques this CD is a welcome addition to any music lover's collection.
In his review of the CD Robert Hugill enthuses; "Throughout these pieces Despax is finely accompanied by Carroll and the Orpheus Sinfonia. They get to show their serious metal in the Franck, their joie de vivre in the Saint-Saens and their sheer technical brilliance in Goss's magical but tricky textures. In each they shine". Read the full review here: http://www.planethugill.com/2013/11/emmanuel-despax-in-concertos-by-goss.html?spref=tw&m=1.
If you would like to listen to a clip from the CD please take a look at this YouTube link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AAT3Mw6OGqA.
Our CD is available now from signum records www.signumrecords.com, Amazon, Presto Classical, major and independent music shops, and from digital retailers including; iTunes, emusic and Amazon digital.

First Classical Concert for iPad and Tablet Audience
- Published on Saturday, 30 March 2013 11:42
Interactive display for tablet users
Finding your way around a new piece of concert music can be a challenging task. The listener might be bombarded with an overwhelming array of abstract sounds that confuse and bewilder. For the premiere of Stephen Goss' Piano Concerto, Mark Insoll (producer) and David Sweeney (editor) have created an interactive display, for users of the iPad and other tablet devices. Conceived as a wordless programme note, the display forms a visual counterpoint to Goss' new work, revealing many of the influences behind the music.
There are four separate parts to the display which help to evoke the mood, character and atmosphere of the concerto's individual movements. Each part lasts for around two minutes and can be started, paused, or repeated at the listener's leisure.
The films can be downloaded here.

Beethoven in 2012 and 2013
- Published on Monday, 03 December 2012 16:34
"Beethoven's music sets in motion the machinery of awe, of fear, of terror, of pain, and awakens that infinite yearning which is the essence of romanticism." (E.T.A. Hoffmann, 1813)
Beethoven's nine symphonies embrace triumph and tragedy, and are universal in their eloquent expression of triumph and tragedy. No wonder that musicians and audiences love to experience the drama of these pieces, which form the very core of the symphonic repertoire. In recognition of Beethoven's genius and achievement, the Orpheus Sinfonia has dedicated its 2012/13 season to performing all nine of his Symphonies. At Cadogan Hall on 21 September we heard a gripping performance of the Fifth Symphony, and on 25 October it was the turn of the ebullient Second Symphony. Symphony No. 4 in B flat major – a joyful yet enigmatic masterpiece composed in 1806 – will conclude our concert on 21 November. Look out for the 'Pastoral Symphony' on Thursday 24 January 2013, the 'Eroica' on February 14 February, and Symphony No. 8 in April. Performing the Beethoven Cycle is a milestone for every orchestral musician, and the Orpheus Foundation is delighted to provide such an opportunity to its musicians.

The other finalists were Alberto Casadei, Jun Sasaki and Christopher Graves.
'Orpheus Musician of the Year and youthful Beethoven'
- Published on Friday, 26 October 2012 14:29
25 October saw the second concert of the Autumn 2012 season. Beethoven's dramatic and poignant Coriolan Overture and exuberant Symphony No. 2 framed stunning performances of Weber's Bassoon Concerto from Tamsin Thorn, and the first movement of Tchaikovsky's Violin Concerto from Benjamin Baker. We were also thrilled to welcome Toby Purser as the guest conductor. The response of the audience to the Orpheus Sinfonia and soloists was ecstatic.
