The Electric Company is an educational American children's television series that was directed by Bob Schwartz, Henry Behar (1972–1975) and John Tracy (1975–1976), written by Christopher Cerf (1971–1973), Jeremy Steven (1972–1974) and John Boni/Amy Ephron (1972–1973) and produced by the Children's Television Workshop (now called Sesame Workshop) for PBS in the United States. PBS broadcast 780 episodes over the course of its six seasons from October 25, 1971, to April 15, 1977. After it ceased production that year, the program continued in reruns from 1977 to 1985, as the result of a decision made in 1975 to produce two final seasons for perpetual use. CTW produced the show at Teletape Studios Second Stage in Manhattan, the first home of Sesame Street.
The Electric Company employed sketch comedy and other devices to provide an entertaining program to help elementary school children develop their grammar and reading skills. It was intended for children who had graduated from CTW's flagship program, Sesame Street. The humor was more mature than what was seen there.
The original cast included Morgan Freeman, Rita Moreno, Bill Cosby, Judy Graubart, Lee Chamberlin and Skip Hinnant. Most of the cast had done stage, repertory, and improvisational work, with Cosby and Moreno already well-established performers on film and television. Ken Roberts (announcer) (1971–1972), best known as a soap-opera announcer (Love of Life; The Secret Storm), was the narrator of some segments during season one, most notably the parody of the genre that had given him prominence, Love of Chair.
Jim Boyd, who was strictly an off-camera voice actor and puppeteer during season one, began appearing on-camera in season two, mostly in the role of J. Arthur Crank. Luis Ávalos also joined the cast at that time.
Bill Cosby was a regular in season one, and occasionally appeared in new segments during season two, but left afterward. Nevertheless, segments that Cosby had taped during the first two years were repeatedly used for the rest of the run, and Cosby was billed as a cast member throughout. Similarly, Lee Chamberlin also left after season two, but many of her segments were also repeatedly reused; consequently, she was also billed as a cast member for the rest of the show's run.
Added to the cast at the beginning of Season Three was Hattie Winston, an actress and singer who later appeared on the show Becker. Beginning in season four, Danny Seagren, a puppeteer who worked on Sesame Street and also as a professional dancer, appeared in the role of Spider-Man.
Selected sketches[edit]
- "The Adventures of Letterman": Premiering during season two, "Letterman" featured the work of animators John and Faith Hubley. The title character (a flying superhero in a varsity sweater and a football helmet) foiled the Spell Binder, an evil magician who made mischief by changing words into new words. It featured the voices of Zero Mostel, Joan Rivers (the narrator) and Gene Wilder. In his book The TV Arab, Jack Shaheen criticized the portrayal of the evil Spell Binder as a negative racial stereotype.[1]
- "Five Seconds": Halfway through the show, viewers were challenged to read a word within a five- or ten-second time limit. From 1973 to 1975, in a spoof of Mission: Impossible the word would self-destruct in a Scanimate animation sequence after the time expired. From 1975 to 1977, the viewers had to read the word before a cast member (or a group of children) did.
- "Giggles, Goggles": Two friends (usually Rita Moreno and Judy Graubart) riding a tandem bicycle or something similar conversed, when one of them would misuse a word. Several similar words were humorously misused until they returned to the original word.
- "Here's Cooking at You": A send-up of Julia Child's cooking shows, with Judy Graubart playing Julia Grown-Up
- "Jennifer of the Jungle": A Borscht Belt-style parody of George of the Jungle, with Jennifer (Judy Graubart) and Paul the Gorilla (Jim Boyd)
- "The Last Word": Shown at the end of season-one episodes, a dimly lit incandescent bulb with a pull-chain switch was shown hanging; the voice of Ken Roberts would gravely state, "And now, the last word." A single word would appear (usually one that had been featured earlier in the episode). An unseen cast member would read the word aloud, reach his/her arm into the shot, and turn the light off by tugging the pull chain.
- "Love of Chair": A spoof of Love of Life, Ken Roberts (who was also the announcer for Life) read a Dick and Jane-style story about a boy (Skip Hinnant) sitting on a chair and doing simple things, concluding by asking questions in a dramatic tone followed by "For the answer to these and other questions, tune in tomorrow for 'Love Of Chair.'"
- "Mad Scientist": Monster parody with an evil scientist (Morgan Freeman) and his assistant Igor (Luis Avalos), who tried to read words associated with their experiments.
- "Monolith": Animated short, set in outer space and used to introduce segments involving a phonic. A large, rectangular pillar of rock (reminiscent of 2001: A Space Odyssey) collapsed to the strains of Also sprach Zarathustra after being disturbed by an astronaut or extraterrestrial. The letters of the phonic appeared from the clearing dust, with a deistic voice pronouncing it.
- "The Night Fright": A 1974 season 4 sketch with scouts (played by June Angela as Julie, Bayn Johnson as Kelly and Stephen Gustafson as Buddy).
- "Pedro's Plant Place": Featured Luis Avalos as a garden-shop proprietor who incorporated words into his planting tips, accompanied by the plant-language-speaking guard plant Maurice (Jim Boyd).
- "Phyllis and the Pharaohs": A 1950s-style doo-wop group, with Rita Moreno singing lead and the male adult cast on backup.
- "Road Runner": New cartoons featuring the Looney Tunes character and his pursuer, Wile E. Coyote, produced and directed by Chuck Jones, which reinforced reading skills with words on signs encountered by the characters; used occasional sound and verbal effects.
- "Sign Sing-Along": Often the last sketch on a Friday, these films featured signs with words accompanied by a sing-along song. They were sung once through; viewers supplied the lyrics the second time, while a trumpet-and bassoon-duo played the melody.
- "The Six-Dollar and Thirty-Nine-Cent Man": Spoof of The Six Million Dollar Man in seasons five and six, with Jim Boyd as Steve Awesome, Luis Avalos as Awesome's boss Oscar and Hattie Winston as the General; the other adult cast members played villains.
- "Slow Reader": Animated or live-action shorts in which a slow reader was given a message to read by a delivery man. Each message had advice that he needed to follow, but because of his inability to sound out the words he often wound up in trouble.
- "Soft-Shoe Silhouettes": Two people in silhouette, one making the initial sound of a word and the other the rest of the word; the two then said the word in unison. The soft-shoe music composed by Joe Raposo.
- "Spidey Super Stories": Short pieces debuting during season four and featuring Spider-Man (played by Danny Seagren in 1974-1977) foiling petty criminals. Spidey was never seen out of costume as his alter ego, Peter Parker, and he spoke in speech balloons for the audience to read. A spin-off comic book, Spidey Super Stories, was produced by Marvel Comics from 1974 to 1981.
- "Vaudeville Revue": Skits and songs presented in variety-show style on stage, with music fanfare and canned applause; also called the Stage.
- "A Very Short Book": Sometimes the last sketch, it featured a nursery rhyme or story read by a cast member who turned the pages of a book with moving pictures. The stories usually had a humorous ending that was different from the original.
- "Vi's Diner": Lee Chamberlin played the proprietor of a diner where customers read simple menus to place their orders.
- "Wild Guess": Game-show spoof (similar to You Bet Your Life) with announcer Ken Kane (Bill Cosby) and host Bess West (Rita Moreno), in which the contestant would guess the day's secret word. When the word was not guessed, West would give three clues as to what the word was.
Selected recurring characters[edit]
- Blond-Haired Cartoon Man (Mel Brooks): This character would read words appearing on screen; however, they often showed up in the wrong order or made no sense; as such, the character would resort to correcting the words.
- The Blue Beetle (Jim Boyd): Bumbling superhero, who often made matters worse instead of better when he tried to help; often challenged Spider-Man.
- Clayton: Claymation character, animated by Will Vinton, who commented on the previous skit or introduced a new concept.
- The Corsican Twins (Skip Hinnant and Jim Boyd): Twin brothers who inflicted pain on each other while teaching phonics.
- Dr. Doolots (Luis Avalos): Parody of Doctor Dolittle and Groucho Marx, who used words to cure his patients.
- Easy Reader (Morgan Freeman): Smooth hipster who loved reading; associated with Valerie the Librarian (Hattie Winston) and Vi (Lee Chamberlin) in her diner.
- Fargo North, Decoder (Skip Hinnant): Inspector Clouseau-type detective, who decoded scrambled word messages and phrases; his name was a pun based on Fargo, North Dakota.
- Francine: a scout, played by June Angela as Julie in the 1974 season 4 sketch "The Night Fright".
- J. Arthur Crank (Jim Boyd): Plaid-wearing grouchy character, who interrupted sketches to complain when spellings or pronunciations confused him; named after British film mogul J. Arthur Rank.
- Lorelei the Chicken (Jim Boyd): Animated chicken appearing in live-action scenes. She was a caricature of actress Carol Channing.
- Mel Mounds (Morgan Freeman): Disc jockey who introduced songs, usually by the Short Circus.
- Monsters; Werewolf (Jim Boyd) and Frankenstein (Skip Hinnant) would team up with Dracula (Morgan Freeman).
- Millie the Helper (Rita Moreno): Eager-beaver trainee working at various jobs. She was the first to shout "Hey, you guys!" a popular expression on the show.
- Otto the Director (Rita Moreno): Old-style Hollywood film director, who tried in vain to make her actors say a line correctly but failed more often than not
- Pandora the Brat: Rita Moreno's bratty-but-lovable blonde girl who tried to outwit the adults around her.
- Paul the Gorilla (Jim Boyd): Sidekick of Jennifer of the Jungle; named after head writer Paul Dooley.
- Vincent the Vegetable Vampire: A send-up of Dracula, played by Morgan Freeman.
- Werewolfman, played by Danny Seagren in the 1974 season 4 sketch "The Night Fright" and the other probably 1974 season 4 sketch "Tea with Scream".
The adult cast also had recurring roles as J.J. (Skip Hinnant), Carmela (Rita Moreno), Brenda (Lee Chamberlin), Mark (Morgan Freeman), Hank (Bill Cosby), Winnie (Judy Graubart), Andy (Jim Boyd), Roberto (Luis Avalos), and Sylvia (Hattie Winston).
The Short Circus[edit]
Another regular part of the show was the Short Circus (the name a pun on short circuit), a singing group of kids whose songs also facilitated reading comprehension. June Angela was the only Short Circus member to remain with the show during its entire six-year run. Others lasted anywhere from one to four years. Irene Cara appeared during the first season and would go on to become a pop-music star. Cara was replaced by the singer Denise Nickerson, best known for her appearance as Violet Beauregarde in the 1971 film Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory.
The other three original members of the Short Circus were Melanie Henderson, Stephen Gustafson, and Douglas Grant. For seasons three and four, Grant and Nickerson were replaced by tap dancer Gregg Burge and Broadway actress Bayn Johnson.
Except for June Angela, an entirely new Short Circus was cast for seasons five and six. The new hires were Todd Graff (Ilene Graff's brother), Rodney Lewis, Réjane Magloire, and Janina Matthews.
In the first season, a number of unbilled children were also used on-camera with the show's cast, as on Sesame Street, but this concept was quickly dropped.
Because of the frequent reuse of segments, a practice derived from Sesame Street, actors continued to appear after their departures from the cast.

- Irene Cara as Iris (Keyboardist) (1971–1972)
- Stephen Gustafson as Buddy (Drummer) (1971–1975)

Theme song[edit]
We're gonna turn it on; we're gonna bring you the power; We're gonna light up the darkest night like the brightest day in a whole new way.
We're gonna turn you on; we're gonna bring you the power; We're gonna tell you the truest words that you ever heard anybody say.
We're gonna open a book, and read every word we can see. We're gonna give you the power to learn about everything, 'cause the power's gonna set us free.
We're gonna turn it on; we're gonna bring you the power; It's comin' down the line, strong as it can be, through the courtesy...OF THE ELECTRIC COMPANY!
Opening titles[edit]
The pilot for the show opened with a song in loose thirty-two-bar form, consisting of two verses, a bridge, and third verse with coda, featuring the show's name as the final lyric.[2] This formed the basis for the opening music in all seasons of the show.
Over its history, the show used three variations of this theme song over the opening titles. Seasons one and two used the first and third verses plus the coda; season two introduced the screamed "Hey, you guys!!" before the music started. While the theme song for seasons three and four removed the inserted scream from season two, it used the bridge for the first time since the pilot, followed by the third verse plus coda. Seasons five and six used an intro inserted after the initial scream, then restored the first verse, used the second verse, also for the first time since the pilot, and repeated the intro to lead into the third verse and coda.
The video component of the opening with most recent theme song was used for seasons five and six. It would begin—coincident with "Hey, you guys!"—with a shaking "The Electric Company" logo, followed by a shot of the Short Circus's faces rising into the frame. A series of full-screen clips from various episodes would then be shown, foregrounded by various cast members—each walking into frame as a recurring character, looking at a clip of his or her character, morphing into him or her self in formal dress, and walking out of frame. It would conclude—coincident with the eponymous final lyric—with a group shot of the entire cast, including Danny Seagren in his Spider-Man costume (in this shot, Seagren was the only cast member actually in costume), and a reconstruction of "The Electric Company" name, letter by letter.
Closing titles[edit]
The closing theme songs—all instrumental—were more varied and would feature musical components of the various opening theme styles. (See also Closing credits below.)
The series was notable for its extensive, innovative use of early computer-generated imagery, especially Scanimate, a then-state-of-the-art analog video-synthesizer system. They were often used for presenting words with particular sounds. Sometimes a cast member would be seen alongside or interacting in another way with a word animation.

- Mobil Oil Corporation (Season 1 only)
- Public Television Stations (Seasons 4-6)
Show numbering[edit]
A total of 780 episodes were produced in the show's six-season run, 130 per season. As with Sesame Street, each episode of The Electric Company was numbered on-screen instead of using traditional episode titles. Seasons One through Four (1971–1975) were numbered 1–520. Season Five was numbered 1A–130A, while Season Six was numbered 1B–130B; the last two seasons were designated as such because they were designed as year-long curriculum for schools.
Starting with Season Three, a show's number would be presented in the sketch-of-the-day teaser segment, a parody of soap-opera teasers, which would highlight a particular sketch that would be shown during that episode. The voice of a cast member would say a variant of, "Today on The Electric Company, the so-and-so says, '(censored),'" and the action would freeze as the graphic of the word of the day (or a card with the word of the day printed on it) became visible to viewers. The censored words were replaced by a series of harsh electronic sounds (similar to the sound of a theremin) roughly mimicking the tone and cadence of the word in question. The still action would linger on the screen for several seconds, then fade to black, where the show number would become visible in a Scanimate animation in a random color. The music for this segment was a repetitive, funky instrumental groove featuring a call-and-response between horns and a scratchy wah-wah guitar.
The next-show teaser, which was introduced in Season Two without music, worked in the same way, and usually used a different take of the music heard during the sketch-of-the-day teaser, except that the voice said "Tune in next time, when..." and there was no show number shown. In Season Six, the electronic sounds were made less harsh-sounding, and new background music featuring lots of horns and a Moog synthesizer was used.
In Season One, however, after the title sequence, the sound of a striking match would be heard, and a fade-up from black would reveal a hand holding a lit match and "Show #x" handwritten on a piece of paper that was placed in such a way so that it could blend with the surrounding objects in-frame. Instead of the next-show teaser, Ken Roberts's voice could be heard, saying, "And now, the last word," and the trademark light bulb would be shut off by a hand doing whatever the last word was. In Season Two, after the opening sequence the words "The Electric Company" would disappear from the familiar logo, and the show number would appear in its place through the use of a Scanimate animation and an electronic whooshing sound.
Notably, some episodes in Seasons Three through Five had serious technical errors with either their sketch-of-the-day teaser segments or their next-show teaser segments, which was probably because of the failure of the linear analog video-editing equipment. Episodes that have these errors in their sketch-of-the-day teasers include 297, 390, 1A, 8A, and 15A—sometimes the music started too late, ended too early, or played too long; sometimes the errors are negligible, with the teaser music only playing a fraction of a second longer than usual.
For Season Six, because the teaser music was changed to a shorter, self-contained composition, these errors do not occur, with the exception of the teaser of 33B shown at the end of 32B (available on iTunes), where the teaser was accidentally cut by a fraction of a second.
The Electric Company was cancelled in 1977 at the height of its popularity. Unlike its counterpart Sesame Street, which licensed its Muppet characters for merchandising, The Electric Company did not have a brand or character that could help generate profit. The only significant items the show licensed were comic books and a Milton Bradley board game of the Fargo North, Decoder character. Licensing rights were also granted to Mattel Electronics for two educational based video games for the Intellivision console in 1979.[3] These games featured both the show's title logo on the game's packaging and label and the first several notes of the theme song played on the title screen of the games.
In addition, the PBS stations and statewide networks that aired the show often complained of the Children's Television Workshop "soaking up so much money in public television," said veteran television producer Samuel Gibbon, who worked on the show. "The stations demanded that one of the programs—either Sesame Street or The Electric Company—be put into reruns to save money. By that time, Sesame Street was a cash fountain for the Workshop. The show was almost supporting itself by then with all the productions, books, records, and games. There was no way, it was felt, that they could reduce the number of original shows of Sesame Street. But the thought was that if we produce two final seasons of The Electric Company which were designed to be repeated, that would give the show four more years of life."[4] Most PBS programs at the time were produced by local stations instead of independent producers like CTW.
Reruns: 1977–1985[edit]
- Following the last original episode on April 15, 1977, The Electric Company continued on PBS in reruns until fall 1985 (giving the show about the amount of life expected at the time after production ended) with the final two seasons (1A through 130B) shown in rotation. These are the episodes that are the most familiar to younger viewers.
1999 rebroadcast[edit]
The earlier shows did not resurface until February 2, 1999, when the Noggin network, which was partly owned by Sesame Workshop at the time, rebroadcast the show as a result of its co-ownership of the network. A two-hour feature-length compilation special, which was aired on TV Land, re-introduced the series to a new generation whose parents had grown up watching the show.
Noggin ran 65 select episodes until 2003, when they were pulled from the program lineup because Sesame Workshop sold its half of the network to Viacom, which already owned the other half. The shows were cut subtly to fit Noggin's shorter running time and free up time for various interstitial segments produced for the network. These deletions included the episode numbers, the Scanimate word animations, the segments 15 seconds and shorter, and the teasers of the next episodes (in seasons 2–6).
During the same period as the Noggin rebroadcasts, numerous fans of the program produced QuickTime and MP3 clips from the Noggin rebroadcasts, old over-the-air recordings, and, in some cases, from master recordings. These were hosted online at various places and received heavy attention from the blogosphere (e.g., Boing Boing)[5] until a cease-and-desist letter took down the most prominent of these sites in 2004.
DVD releases[edit]
The series was not seen since it was pulled from Noggin's schedule until Sesame Workshop, under license to Shout! Factory and Sony BMG Music Entertainment, released a DVD boxed set on February 7, 2006, called The Best of the Electric Company that included 20 uncut episodes[citation needed] from throughout the show's run, including the first and last episodes, plus outtakes and introductions and commentary by Rita Moreno and June Angela.
Due to the overwhelming—and somewhat unexpected—popularity of the initial DVD release, a second boxed set was released on November 14, 2006 (The Best of the Electric Company: Volume 2). This second volume contained 20 episodes from Seasons 1-5 plus a 30-minute documentary on the effects of in-school viewings of The Electric Company from 1975. Cast members Luis Avalos, Jim Boyd, Judy Graubart, Skip Hinnant, and Hattie Winston provided commentary and reflected on their years on the show. However, the original content of nine episodes presented in this set were altered. In some cases, material that was originally broadcast in a particular episode was removed completely while material from other episodes was included. For example, 60A originally contained the Spider-Man episode "Spidey Meets the Prankster" and used a scene from that sketch as the opening teaser, which was removed completely after the opening credits, leaving only the episode number, and at the start is an episode of "The Six-Dollar and Thirty-Nine Cent Man," which supposedly aired only during Season 6. Also removed following the Letterman sketch in this episode was the clip of the Short Circus singing "Stop!" and a Road Runner–Wile E. Coyote cartoon. Clayton appeared in this episode as well, even though he supposedly only appeared in Season 6. These altered episodes also contain special effects used to segue from one sketch to another that were not used in the show's original run. The other altered episodes are 197, 227, 322, 375, 35A, 57A, 77A, and 105A.[citation needed] The material seen in these altered episodes was not what was originally shown when the episodes were first broadcast.
It is believed that these changes were probably made to avoid repeats of segments that were on the first DVD set, but it is more likely that it was due to ownership rights—the segments that were used to cover up the material not under Sesame Workshop's control (Spider-Man, Road Runner and Wile E. Coyote, etc.) were longer than the excised segments, so the episodes were cut further to get them down to their required 28-minute length.
An hour-long television show called The Electric Company's Greatest Hits & Bits was broadcast on many PBS stations in late 2006. It included interviews with cast members, voice talent, and creator-producer Joan Ganz Cooney. The special was produced by Authorized Pictures and distributed by American Public Television, and was designed to be seen during pledge drives. It was released on DVD on March 6, 2007.
In early 2007, Apple Inc., through its iTunes service, started selling 15 previously-unavailable episodes of The Electric Company. "Volume 1" contained Episodes 5, 13, 23, 128, 179, 249, 261, 289, 297, 374, 416, 475, 91A, 8B, and 32B.
In late 2007, another collection of 15 episodes dubbed "Volume 2" became available from iTunes. The new additions were Episodes 2, 36, 40, 75, 142, 154, 165, 172, 189, 218, 245, 290, 337, and 350. Repeated from Volume 1 was Episode 8B, erroneously labeled as 658, even though it is correct if the A–B designations were disregarded (1A–130A are 521–650, 1B–130B are 651–780).
It is unclear if these episodes were altered from the versions originally shown on television. Shout! Factory representatives indicated that it had no plans for another DVD set, implying that episodes distributed via iTunes would not be available in another format.
Seasons 8-11 (2009-2012? revival)[edit]
In May 2008, Sesame Workshop began production on a new version of The Electric Company that began airing on PBS on January 23, 2009. The revival includes interactive Web elements and community-outreach projects. Karen Fowler serves as executive producer. Unlike the 1970s series, in which the Electric Company refers to a troupe of actors in comedy sketches, the new series refers to a group of super heroes who battle villains in the name of literacy.
Season one/seven premiered on January 23, 2009, and consisted of 28 episodes. None of the segments used in the 1970s were used in the revival (with the exception of new versions of the soft-shoe silhouettes and an occasional appearance of Paul the Gorilla, although these were infrequent), nor were any of the original actors (although June Angela has a cameo as a woman on the street).[citation needed] In addition, the theme used of the new version had no musical relation to the 1970s theme. The show was nominated for eight Emmy Awards in 2010 and won five.

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) - Get ready for the season's first Eastern Division showdown in the Southeastern Conference when No. 5 Georgia travels to No. 6 South Carolina this week.
The matchup between the 5-0 teams should again go a long way in settling who will represent the division at the Georgia Dome in the SEC title game Dec. 1.
Young Georgia tailback Todd Gurley leads the league in rushing and has made the sort of impact Gamecocks junior runner Marcus Lattimore did two years ago. Georgia linebacker Jarvis Jones and South Carolina defensive end Jadeveon Clowney are both defensive forces this season. And don't overlook the sidelines where Georgia coach Mark Richt and South Carolina's Steve Spurrier again face off.

Judged: 1 1 1 The TWA lead investigators were NOT allowed to speak to the public or refute any comments made by their superiors about the investigation findings at that time. They waited until AFTER retirement to reveal, the official conclusion by the NSTB was FALSIFIED to lay out what would be told to family members & public. Electrical short circuit, my ass.

Judged: 3 3 3 This is too great. I actually laughed out loud when I read this - what a joke!!!!! Honey, get that plank out of your eye before complaining about the splinter in somebody else's. ----"The conservative groups you belong to want to force their beliefs on everyone and that's not the way it works in America." Oh please, that is the hallmark of the Democratic/Liberal agenda: abortion - we don't care that you think abortion is murder, not only did our activist judges contort the Constitution and bypass the democratic process, but we want you to pay for it too. And we don't care that an abortion is an invasive procedure that carries definite risks - your daughter may not be able to get her ears pierced without your permission - but we'll make sure she can get an abortion without your knowledge. gun control - we don't like guns and we don't think anyone should have them, so we will exploit a tragedy and push for laws limiting law abiding citizens from exercising their 2nd Amendment rights - doesn't matter that we don't enforce existing laws and that those we push wouldn't have made a difference in the tragedy being exploited. freedom of speech - only if it's speech we the Left approve of - if a conservative somehow gets an invitation to speak at a campus, we'll shout them down - or demand the university rescind the invitation - or destroy the conservative publications that conservative students try to hand out (or better still, let the IRS harass you) etc, etc ----"making mountains out of mole hills on a regular basis trying to justify what you do and say no matter what the facts are" Oh, you mean like: when a conservative argues that welfare only fosters dependence and doesn't offer real hope - the Left responds that it is only because we hate the poor and want children and old people to starve "they're coming for our children,...for the sick,...for the disabled..." - John Lewis when a Republican president takes us into a war, it can't be because he and his advisors believe it is in the best interests of our own national security - it MUST be out of greed for oil and to benefit our greedy business interests. when a conservative laments the state of our public education system and says there must be a better answer than just throwing more money into a failing system and wants to explore other options - the Left says the Right just doesn't care about children.(but who was it that tried to end the voucher program for poor black children in DC, hmmm) And these are just the tip of the iceberg. ----"You read a post that differs with what you think and never even consider the other side, just put it down as stupid and inaccurate, without even checking to see if the facts refute what you say." The hypocrisy of this speaks for itself. |

Judged: 1 1 1 The facts that were first revealed was that metal fragments found in bodies and in luggage were from a missile. The explosive residue was also the type used in missiles. Then that story was shut up and the fuel tank theory came out. There were U.S. Navel exercises going on in the area at the time. Expert testimony from combat veteran Navel pilots flying in the area said a missile was launched and hit the plane. The plane then exploded in midair. My guess is a missile was launched by accident from a U.S. Navel vessel that was participating in the navel exercises. There was also a video shot by a resident that lived on the coast that showed a missile being launched and traveling till it hit the plane. That was shown on tv but then the FBI confiscated it and was never seen again. No doubt a total cover up and a poor one at that. Just another lie. |

Judged: 3 2 2 11 visits or 157, what's the difference ? The point is that an employee of the federal government entered a government building, at some time during his employment. I bet sufficient research would also reveal that employees of the FBI, CIA, EPA, NSA, Homeland Security, and dozens of other agencies have been entering and exiting government buildings, including the White House, during the Obama Administration. I heard that Secret Service agents have actually loitered there in large numbers. What other proof do you leeeeeeeeeberals need, before you admit the Right Wing Wackos are right about everything ? |

Judged: 2 2 1 No waiting, Word for the Day redacted - Edit (text) for publication. - Censor or obscure (part of a text) for legal or security purposes. Elijah Cummings presses Darrell Issa for IRS transcript decision By RACHAEL BADE | 6/13/13 2:10 PM EDT http://www.politico.com/story/2013/06/elijah-... Rep. Elijah Cummings is escalating his battle with House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Darrell Issa over releasing transcripts of interviews with IRS employees. Cummings, the top Democrat on the oversight committee, on Thursday sent Issa a copy of transcripts he would like released. In a letter, Cummings asked Issa to decide by Monday which portions of the interview he would like redacted. ...Although I understand the general concern with disclosing publicly full transcripts, in this case you have already taken numerous unilateral steps that argue in favor of a full release, Cummings wrote in his letter Thursday.You chose to unilaterally release select excerpts from these interviews to try to support your claims, you chose to pledge on national television that you would release the full transcripts, and you chose to allow select reporters to review at least some of these transcripts. The Maryland Democrat has said he would release all of the transcripts unless Issa does so on his own. In his letter, Cummings offered to redact portions of the transcript if Issa explained his reasoning. He didnt specify when he might follow through with his pledge. Cummings has accused Issa of cherry-picking damaging portions of interviews to release to the public. Issa, meanwhile, has warned Cummings that releasing full transcripts would jeopardize the integrity of the investigation. |

Woodworker's Journal Magazine
Pigment Stain vs. Dye Stain from Woodweb.com
This thread began with a woodworker who was figuring out whether pigment stains or dye stains would better achieve the look he was going for. - Editor
"What are you guys' take on pigment stains vs. dye stains? I know that some stains use both. I am trying to figure out when to use which one to get the final colors I am trying to match." - Dan C.
Answers, not suprisingly, were variations on "it depends," with other woodworkers encouraging the first to do some experiments. - Editor "Lots of variables to take in consideration when using dyes or pigment stains. Most common is to dye the wood first, then apply pigment. Not all woods benefit from dye stains. The choice is yours by experimenting and developing sample boards." - Robert J.
"Pigment stains have very, very finely ground solids in them, and as such, are more likely to obscure grain. That doesn't mean that they necessarily WILL obscure grain, just that multiple coats CAN obscure the grain. Dyes, on the other hand (which can be sold in either powder or liquid form), once properly dissolved in water, alcohol, or other solvent, are completely liquid and are translucent when applied. The dye is sealed, and a subsequent coat(s) of the same or a different shade of dye stain can be applied without ending up with a 'muddy' look. If you apply multiple coats of pigment stains you can end up with a muddied look, in addition to obscured grain. For this reason, obtaining the right color is often (if not usually) a multi-step process. The base color is established with an application of dye stain (or stains), which are then sealed. Then pigment stains can be applied to get you to (or close to) the final color. Once sealed, this color can then be finished, or tweaked with toners and/or glazes." - Bob B.
And a couple of responses revealed their bias toward dyes -- and why. - Editor
"It really depends on your skill level and the look you are trying to achieve. There are some finishes that simply cannot be duplicated without using one or the other...or a combination of both.One big advantage to dyes is you are not limited in the number of coats that can be applied, at least theoretically speaking. A properly reduced and sprayed dye can be built up, coat after coat, and not obscure the grain, whereas the much larger size of the colorant in pigment stains will muddy the grain quickly if too much is left on the surface, as well as causing drying and adhesion problems. Dyes are great for making figured woods pop and building deep, dark colors without having to leave excess pigment stain on the wood. Pigment stains are better at ticking and coloring the pores of the wood and generally require less skill to use than dyes." - Jeff
Project Plans for a Self-Conceived Project from Sawmill Creek
"What do you use to develop working drawings for projects you conceived yourself? I have a closet system I want to build and want to make drawings to develop the look and dimensions of the components. I do not need 3D drawings. Do you use CAD software or the good old drawing board and T-Square route? I am asking because I am struggling with SketchUp." - George B.
Several responses included suggestions for SketchUp tutorials - while acknowledging that the program has a learning curve that can be a struggle. - Editor
"I use SketchUp. Have you tried the SketchUp for Wookworkers tutorials? It was the quick start I needed. http://sketchupforwoodworkers.com/" - Mark C.
"I use Visio, but I'm probably an oddball. I like it because I can easily make orthographic projections to scale and add dimensions, which is what I use to build from. Like you, I've tried SketchUp and haven't got comfortable with it yet. But I can see that it would be a very powerful tool. I'm just not there yet." - Charlie B.
"I first struggled with Sketchup also, and fully find the struggling part true, but fortunately that changed! However, I now use it exclusively to design my furniture and projects. I found an excellent set of video tutorials on a woodworker's site, Chief Woodworker'sBlog. I love the ability to generate dimensioned drawings so quickly and easily after the design is finished. I learned just how versatile and powerful this tool can be when used as shown. I used to use AutoSketch 2D, but SketchUp is so much more useful for my needs." - Dick M.
"I use Visio for some things and SketchUp for most everything else. SketchUp is not fun to start with:it takes a while, but then it turns in to great fun. I installed SketchUp and after about a hour uninstalled it, then I installed it again and after about two hours I uninstalled it, I just didn't get it. Then I watched some videos from SketchUp for dummies (http://www.aidanchopra.com/web-content), and that helped a lot. Then I watched some videos for woodworkers (http://sketchupforwoodworkers.com) and a few others on YouTube, and now I really like it. Don't give up on it, work on it for a while and then leave it and come back and work some more. To me the biggest thing is learning to make groups and moving them to were you want them." - Bill H.
And this woodworker indicated that it's a matter of the correct mindset. - Editor
"There comes a moment when learning SketchUp where the 3D space of your drawing kind of pops into reality on your monitor. Getting past the 2D mindset was the key for me. I knew that one object was in front of and to the left of another, but I didn't treat it that way. I treated it like a pencil and paper rendering of a 3D object; doesn't work well. Embrace "the space."- Glenn B.

Intro to Painting: Painting History: 1828-Present
Course No. PTG221 Credits: 3.0
Faculty Lane Cooper
This is a beginning painting course. It is a prerequisite for painting electives and all advanced painting courses. This course introduces students to painting through historic painting practices and conventions using oil-based paint as the primary material. Students are asked to approach painting pre-photographically (as if the year were 1828). Students are introduced to the fundamentals of a traditional painting practice with an emphasis on observational rendering and applied color theory beginning with Newton. Students will learn about color mixing, brush types, support construction and general canvas preparation. Students will paint from life learning how to capture the three- dimensional world on a two-dimensional surface as well as how to use material working through shape, form, texture, and mark to create an illusion of space and mass. Through critiques, discussions, readings, slide presentations, and museum visits, students will develop vocabulary and critical thinking skills essential to their studio practice as well as a sense of the history of painting leading to contemporary practices. Offered fall.

Pratt & Whitney announced in a statement Wednesday that the company will be laying off 80 workers in Connecticut.
According to a spokesman from Pratt & Whitney, there were 80 unionized, hourly employees, who lost their jobs and 20 workers at the East Hartford and Middletown plants took "voluntary separation packages" or buyouts. All the layoffs are from East Hartford.
Pratt blamed a reduction in work orders, saying two military fighter programs, the F-119 and F-22, are coming to an end and commercial work has also been reduced. There are fewer orders for new planes and repair work.
"Pratt & Whitney provided voluntary separation offers as described under the collective bargaining agreement with the International Association of Machinists to minimize the impact of this reduction," the statement said.
Layoffs are expected to begin taking place in early December.
It's the second wave of layoffs in Connecticut in 2012 with 200 workers being let go in May.
However, Pratt is shrinking its Connecticut plants, its Florida facility is growing with the company adding 230 new jobs in West Palm Beach. Pratt said none of those in Connecticut were offered to relocate.
The layoffs at Pratt are also affecting other aerospace parts manufacturers including Pegasus Manufacturing. However, after seeing reductions in work orders, they have sought out a global market.
U.S. Sen. Richard Blumenthal is somewhat optimistic now that congress has just passed the National Defense Authorization Act.
"I am hopeful that workers displaced from these engine programs will be used for the F-135," he told Eyewitness News.
Eyewitness News reached out several times to the machinists union, so far they are not commenting on these latest layoffs.

Future air-fueled battery could store 10 times more power
A new type of air-fueled battery being studied could provide up to 10 times the energy storage of designs currently available, and someday be used to power electric cars, mobile phones, and laptops, say researchers.
"Our results so far are very encouraging and have far exceeded our expectations," said professor Peter Bruce, of the University of St Andrews' chemistry department, in a news release Monday.
The new idea the researchers are examining is to replace the lithium cobalt oxide electrode in today's rechargeable lithium batteries with a porous carbon electrode. This allows lithium ions and electrons in … Read more

IMF Clarifies Amount of Strauss-Kahn's Pension
This correction is based on new details from an IMF spokesperson, who provided incorrect information to CNBC yesterday.
IMF press officer Alistair Thomson now says that the IMF has reviewed Dominique Strass-Kahn's pension situation in more detail and discovered he is eligible for a one-time payout of more than $250,000 and will get the standard pension that everyone else at the IMF receives.
The change from the original story is that Strauss-Kahn will not get 65 percent of his annual salary on top of that as an annual payment. Instead, he will collect the normal pension, plus a bonus of 65 percent of whatever the pension plan pays.
Thomson says the IMF will not disclose amount of the annual pension payout, so it will be impossible to calculate Strauss-Kahn's total pension going forward. "I apologize to you for bum guidance," he said.
Original article, published May 19, 2011:
No matter how his legal case turns out, CNBC has learned that Dominique Strauss-Kahn will collect at least a quarter million dollars a year from the IMF in pension payouts for the rest of his life.
According to the IMF, the global financial institution is contractually obligated to pay Strauss-Kahn a standard staff pension, plus an enhanced supplemental retirement allowance and a "separation allowance" that was negotiated in his original contract.
Under the contract, an IMF spokesman told CNBC, Strauss-Kahn is eligible to take part in a Staff Retirement Plan that the rest of the employees at the IMF also participate in. On top of that, Strauss-Kahn is eligible for a Supplemental Retirement Allowance which will pay between 60 and 70 percent of his annual salary, which was $420,930 per year when he was hired.
At three years of service, Strauss-Kahn was entitled to 60 percent of his annual salary, and he would have been entitled to 70 percent if he had reached four years. Since he did not, the partial year will be pro-rated.
And, the spokesman said, Strauss Kahn's contract also entitles him to a "Separation Allowance," a one-time payout of between 60 and 70 percent of his highest annual salary while at the bank.
Sixty percent of Strauss Kahn's first year base comes to just over $252,000.

When using 35mm film in a Holga, proper framed spacing can be accomplished by simply winding 1.5 turns between shots. Sometimes it's fun to wind less and overlap exposures into a panoramic image. The octopus kite panorama from the Berkeley Kite Festival is 3 exposures from left to right with about 3/4 of winding between each shot. The video below shows the Octopile in motion — 16 Peter Lynn designed octopus kites flown as a set by the Berkeley Kite Wranglers. Quite mesmerizing!
2 thoughts on "Sprocket Holga Panorama: Octopus, Octopi!"
Wow. It's almost hypnotic watching all those octopus kites flying together.
The epitome of "undulation."

No More Heroes PS3 Port Snags PlayStation Move Support for US and EU
by Brian Leahy, Aug 18, 2010 3:10pm PDTAt Gamescom 2010, Konami has announced that it will publish the PlayStation 3 version of the original No More Heroes (Wii) outside of Japan in 2011. The game will also be getting PlayStation Move support, which fits quite nicely for the "sword-based action title."
"Using either a normal controller or the PlayStation Move motion-detecting unit, players have access to a wide range of physical assaults and katana attacks," states the press release.
An Xbox 360 version of the HD port was also released in Japan under the same title, but Konami has only announced this PS3 version for the Western world. Shacknews has contacted the company for more information on the matter.
