Loretta Lynn (née Webb; born April 14, 1932) is a chart-topping, multiple-gold-album-selling American country music singer-songwriter whose work has spanned more than 50 years. She has received numerous awards and other accolades for her groundbreaking role in country music and her documentation of and contributions to American culture. She has also authored at least six books, most of them autobiographies. Lynn was born to coal miner Melvin "Ted" Webb and wife Clara, née Ramey, in Butcher Hollow, near Paintsville, Kentucky, USA, the second of eight children.
Trailblazing path to stardom[edit]
In January 1948, shortly before she turned 16, Loretta married Oliver Vanetta Lynn, Jr. (1926–1996) and soon became pregnant. She and her husband moved to Washington state. Their marriage was tumultuous; he had affairs, but she stayed with him. Their life together helped inspire the music she wrote.
In 1953, on their sixth anniversary, when Loretta was 21, Oliver bought her a 17-dollar Harmony guitar. She taught herself to play. When she was 24, on their wedding anniversary, Oliver encouraged her to become a singer. She worked to improve her guitar playing and started singing at the Delta Grange Hall in Washington state with the Pen Brothers' band, The Westerners. Lynn eventually cut her first record, (Honky Tonk Girl), in February 1960. She became a part of the country music scene in Nashville in the 1960s, and in 1967 charted her first of 16 number-one hits (out of 70 charted songs as a solo artist and a duet partner)[1] that include "Don't Come Home A' Drinkin' (With Lovin' on Your Mind)", "You Ain't Woman Enough", "Fist City", and "Coal Miner's Daughter".[2]
Lynn focused on blue-collar women's issues with themes about philandering husbands and persistent mistresses, and pushed boundaries in the conservative genre of country music by singing about birth control ("The Pill"), repeated childbirth ("One's on the Way"), double standards for men and women ("Rated "X""), and being widowed by the draft during the Vietnam War ("Dear Uncle Sam"). Country music radio stations often refused to play her music, banning nine of her songs, but Lynn pushed on to become "The First Lady of Country Music". In 1980, her best-selling 1976 autobiography Coal Miner's Daughter was made into an Academy Award-winning film, Coal Miner's Daughter, starring Sissy Spacek and Tommy Lee Jones. Her most recent album, Van Lear Rose, released in 2004, was produced by fellow musician Jack White; it topped the country album charts. Lynn and White were nominated for five Grammys and won two. They earned critical success for their work.[citation needed]
Lynn has been performing for 53 years. She has received numerous awards in country and American music, including being inducted into the Country Music Hall Of Fame in 1988, and the Song Writers Hall Of Fame in 2008. She was honored in 2010 at the Country Music Awards for her stellar career. Her most recent honor is the 2013 Presidential Medal of Freedom from President Barack Obama (awarded also to Bill Clinton, Oprah Winfrey, and Bob Dylan). Lynn has been a member of The Grand Ole Opry for 51 years, since joining on September 25, 1962. Her first appearance on the Grand Ole Opry was on October 15, 1960. In a press conference she said, "I've played in a million places, but the Grand Ole Opry is different." Lynn has recorded 60 albums and has sold over 48 million albums worldwide in her career.[citation needed]
Personal life[edit]
Birth, parents and siblings, and famous relatives[edit]
Born to Melvin "Ted" Webb (April 9, 1906 - February 22, 1959) and his wife Clara "Clary" Marie (née Ramey) (May 5, 1912 - November 24, 1981), the second of eight children, Loretta was named after film star Loretta Young,[3] Loretta's dad never got to see his daughter become famous, as he died a year before Loretta's first single I'm A Honky Tonk Girl was released. Three of Loretta's siblings also pursued country music careers: her youngest sister, Crystal Gayle; sister Peggy Sue; and brother, Jay Lee Webb. Patty Loveless (Patricia Ramey) is related to Loretta on Loretta's mother's side, as is Venus Ramey, Miss America 1944. Loretta was raised in Butcher Hollow, part of Van Lear, Kentucky, a mining community near Paintsville. Her mother was of Scots-Irish and Cherokee ancestry. Her father was a coal miner, storekeeper, and farmer. Her seven siblings are Melvin Webb Jr. (1929–1993); Herman (b. 1934); Jay Lee (1939–1996); Donald (b. 1943); Peggy Webb Wright (b. 1947); Betty Ruth (b. 1949); and Brenda Gail Webb, better known as country singer Crystal Gayle) (b. 1951).
Early adulthood[edit]
Loretta married Oliver Vanetta Lynn, commonly known as "Doolittle", "Doo" or "Mooney" (for running moonshine), on January 10, 1948, after meeting him December 10, 1947, and courting for a month. Mooney was 21 years old; Loretta was 15.[4] In an effort to break free of the coal mining industry, the couple moved from Butcher Hollow to the logging community of Custer, Washington when she was 15 years old and seven months pregnant with the first of their six children.
Children and grandchildren[edit]
The Lynns had three children by the time Loretta was 19 and she gave birth to their fourth child, Cissie, by age 20. The Lynns had six children altogether:
- Betty Sue Lynn, birth date: November 26, 1948 died July 29, 2013 (age 64)[5]
- Jack Benny Lynn, December 7, 1949 died July 22, 1984 (age 34)
- Ernest Ray Lynn, April 12, 1951-
- Clara Marie Lynn (Cissie), April 7, 1952-
- Peggy Jean and Patsy Eileen Lynn (twins; latter named for Patsy Cline), August 6, 1964.
Lynn has survived two of her six children. Jack Benny, who was Loretta's second child and eldest son, died at age 34 on July 22, 1984 while trying to ford the Duck River at the family's ranch in Hurricane Mills, Tennessee. Loretta's eldest child, daughter Betty Sue, died at age 64 from emphysema on July 29, 2013, near Loretta's ranch in Hurricane Mills.[citation needed]
Loretta became a grandmother at age 29 in 1961, three years before her twins were born. She has 21 grandchildren and their ages range from 11 to 52. They were born between 1961 to 2002. Before her marriage, Loretta regularly sang at churches and in local concerts in Butcher Hollow and sang continuously to her younger siblings . After she married, Lynn stopped singing in public, focusing on family life. Instead, she passed her love of music on to her children, often singing to them around the house, singing the hymns her mother taught her such as "The Great Titanic" and "In The Pines." [6]
Although the Lynns were married for almost fifty years, (Mooney died on August 22, 1996 - their forty-ninth anniversary would have been on January 10, 1997) with six children,[7] their marriage was reportedly rocky until Doolittle's death in 1996. In her 2002 autobiography, Still Woman Enough, and in an interview with CBS News the same year, Lynn recounts how her husband cheated on her regularly and once left her while she was giving birth.[8] Lynn and her husband fought frequently; but she said, "He never hit me one time that I didn't hit him back twice".[8] Loretta has said that her marriage with Mooney was "One of the hardest love stories".[citation needed] Lynn recalls in one of her autobiographies,
"I married Doo when I wasn't but a child, and he was my life from that day on. But as important as my youth and upbringing was, there's something else that made me stick to Doo. He thought I was something special, more special than anyone else in the world, and never let me forget it. That belief would be hard to shove out the door. Doo was my security, my safety net. And just remember, I'm explainin', not excusin'... Doo was a good man and a hard worker. But he was an alcoholic, and it affected our marriage all the way through."[9]
Homes and museums[edit]
Lynn owns a ranch in Hurricane Mills, Tennessee, billed as "The 7th Largest Attraction in Tennessee", featuring a recording studio, museums, lodging, restaurants, western stores, and other attractions. She holds three holiday concerts annually at her ranch: Memorial Day Weekend, Fourth of July Weekend, Labor Day Weekend, and a gospel festival show on September 28, 2013, that Loretta hopes to make an annual event.[citation needed]
Lynn's antebellum mansion, where she and Doo raised their children, is open for tourists to visit. For over 30 years the ranch has hosted Loretta Lynn's Amateur Motocross National Championship, the world's largest amateur motocross race, in addition to GNCC Racing events. The ranch is centered around her large plantation home along with a replica of her parents' cabin in Butcher Hollow. She no longer lives in the plantation home; tours of the house are available.[citation needed]
Injury and recovery[edit]
In 2006, Lynn underwent shoulder surgery after injuring herself in a fall. However, due to complications during the procedure, she had to be revived by doctors. The surgery was successfully completed later.[10][11]
Music career in detail[edit]
1960–1966: Early country success[edit]
Lynn began singing in local clubs in mid 1959 with help, insistence, and support from her husband; she later formed her own band, the Trailblazers, which included her brother Jay Lee Webb. Lynn won a televised talent contest in Tacoma, Washington, hosted by Buck Owens, for which the prize was a wristwatch that broke 24 hours later. (Lynn later laughed about it with Owens.) Lynn's performance was seen by Canadian Norm Burley of Zero Records, who co-founded the record company after hearing Loretta sing. He was blown away and wanted Loretta to be heard from deejays all over the world.[12] Zero Records president Canadian Don Grashey arranged a recording session in Hollywood, where four of Lynn's own compositions were recorded: I'm A Honky Tonk Girl, Whispering Sea, Heartache Meet Mister Blues, and New Rainbow. Her first release featured Whispering Sea and I'm a Honky Tonk Girl. She signed her first contract on February 2, 1960, with Zero Records; the material was recorded at United Western Recorders in Hollywood, engineered by Don Blake and produced by Grashey.,[13][14] Musicians backing on the songs were "the great" steel guitar player Speedy West,[15] Harold Hensely on fiddle, Roy Lanham on guitar, Al Williams on bass, and Muddy Berry on drums.[16] Lynn commented on the different sound of her first record: "Well, there is a West Coast sound that is definitely not the same as the Nashville sound... It was a shuffle with a West Coast beat".[17]
The Lynns then toured the country to promote the release to country stations,[12] while Grashey and Del Roy took the music to KFOX in Long Beach, California.[14] When the Lynns reached Nashville, the song was a hit, climbing to No. 14 on Billboard's C & W Chart, and Lynn began cutting demo records for the Wilburn Brothers' Publishing Company.[12] Through the Wilburns, Lynn was able to secure a contract with Decca Records.[12] From the onset of her career fans took notice and rallied behind her all the way, with the first Loretta Lynn Fan Club formed in November 1960. By the end of the year Billboard magazine listed Loretta Lynn as the No. 4 Most Promising Country Female Artist.[citation needed]
Lynn's relationship with the Wilburn Brothers and her appearances on the Grand Ole Opry, beginning in 1960,[7] helped Lynn become the number one female recording artist in country music. Lynn's contract with the Wilburn Brothers gave them the publishing rights to her material. She was still fighting to regain these rights 30 years after ending her business relationship with them but was ultimately denied the publishing rights. Lynn stopped writing music in the 1970s because of these contracts. Although Kitty Wells had become the first major female country vocalist during the 1950s, by the time Lynn recorded her first record, only three other women - Patsy Cline, Skeeter Davis, and Jean Shepard - had become top stars. By the end of 1962, (Loretta joined The Grand Ole Opry on September 25, 1962) it was clear that Lynn was on her way to becoming the fourth. Lynn has credited Cline as her mentor and best friend during those early years.[citation needed] In 2010, when interviewed for Jimmy Mcdonough's biography of Tammy Wynette, Tammy Wynette: Tragic Country Queen, Loretta mentioned having best friends in Patsy and Tammy during different times: "Best friends are like husbands. You only need one at a time."
Lynn released her first Decca single, "Success," in 1962, and it went straight to #6, beginning a string of Top 10 singles that would run through the rest of the decade and throughout the next. She was a hard honky-tonk singer for the first half of the '60s and rarely strayed from the genre.[1] Between this time, Lynn soon began to regularly hit the Top 10 after 1964 with "Before I'm Over You," which peaked at No. 4, followed by "Wine, Women, and Song," which peaked at No. 3. In late 1964, she recorded a duet album with Ernest Tubb. Their lead single, "Mr. and Mrs. Used to Be," peaked within the Top 15. Together, the pair recorded two more albums, "Singin' Again" (1967) and If we Put Our Heads Together (1969). In 1965, her solo career continued with three major hits, "Happy Birthday," "Blue Kentucky Girl" (later recorded and made a Top 10 hit in the '70s by Emmylou Harris), and "The Home You're Tearing Down." Lynn's label issued two albums that year, Songs from My Heart and Blue Kentucky Girl. While most of these songs were Top 10 Country hits, none of them reached #1.[citation needed]
Lynn's first self-penned song to crack the Top Ten, 1966's "Dear Uncle Sam", was among the very first recordings to recount the human costs of the Vietnam War.[18] In the latter half of the decade, although she still worked within the confines of honky tonk, her sound became more personal, varied, and ambitious, particularly lyrically. Beginning with 1966's Number 1 hit in Cash Box, "You Ain't Woman Enough", Lynn began writing songs with a feminist viewpoint, which was unheard of in country music. This song made Loretta Lynn the first country female recording artist to pen a No. 1 hit.[19]
1967–1980: Breakthrough success[edit]
In 1967, Lynn reached No. 1 with "Don't Come Home A' Drinkin' (With Lovin' on Your Mind)".[20] Her album, Don't Come Home A-Drinkin, went to number one and became one of the first albums by a female country artist to reach sales of 500,000 copies.[21]
Lynn's next album, Fist City, was released in 1968. The title track became Lynn's second No. 1 hit, as a single in earlier that year, and the other single from the album, "What Kind of a Girl (Do You Think I Am)", peaked within the Top 10. In 1968, her next studio album, Your Squaw Is on the Warpath, spawned two Top 5 Country hits: the title track and "You've Just Stepped In (From Stepping Out on Me)". In 1969, her next single, "Woman of the World (Leave My World Alone)", was Lynn's third chart-topper, followed by a subsequent Top 10, "To Make a Man (Feel Like a Man)". Lynn was reportedly once inspired to write a song about a real woman she suspected was flirting with her husband. The song, "You Ain't Woman Enough (To Take My Man)", was an instant hit and became one of Lynn's all-time most popular. Her career continued to be successful into the 1970s, especially following the success of her hit "Coal Miner's Daughter", which peaked at No. 1 on the Billboard Country Chart in 1970, and the album has sold over 5 million copies world wide. "Coal Miner's Daughter" tells the story of Lynn's life growing up in rural Butcher Hollow, Kentucky. The song later served as the impetus for the best-selling autobiography (1976) and the Oscar-winning biopic starring Academy Award Winner For Best Leading Actress Sissy Spacek and Tommy Lee Jones (1980), both of which share the song's title.[22] The song became her first single to chart on the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at No. 83. She had a series of singles that would chart low on the Hot 100 between 1970 and 1975.[citation needed]
In 1973, Rated X peaked at No. 1 on the Billboard Country Chart and was considered one of Lynn's most controversial hits. The next year, her next single, "Love Is the Foundation", also became a No. 1 country hit from her album of the same name. The second and last single from that album, "Hey Loretta", became a Top 5 hit. Lynn continued to reach the Top 10 until the end of the decade, including with 1975's "The Pill", considered to be the first song to discuss birth control, other than the 1967 French-language song in French, Pilule d'Or, sung by Luc Dominique, the former "Singing Nun". As a songwriter, Lynn believed no topic was off limits, as long as it spoke to other women, and many of her songs were autobiographical.[8] In 1976, she released her autobiography, Coal Miner's Daughter, with the help of writer George Vecsey. It became a #1 bestseller, making Lynn the first country music artist to make the New York Times bestseller list. This opened a flood gate of country artists who followed with books.[citation needed] By the early 1980s Loretta Lynn became the first American female recording artist to chart over fifty top ten hits.
Professional partnership with Conway Twitty[edit]
In 1971, Lynn began a professional partnership with Conway Twitty. As a duo, Lynn and Twitty had five consecutive Number 1 hits between 1971 and 1975: their first release "After the Fire Is Gone" (1971),won them a Grammy award, "Lead Me On" (1971), "Louisiana Woman, Mississippi Man" (1973), "As Soon as I Hang Up the Phone" (1974), and "Feelins'" (1974). The hit-streak kick-started what became one of the most successful duos of country history. For four consecutive years (1972–1975), Lynn and Twitty were named the "Vocal Duo of the Year" by the Country Music Association. The Academy of Country Music named them the "Best Vocal Duet" in 1971, 1974, 1975 and 1976. The American Music awards selected them as the "Favorite Country Duo" in 1975, 1976 & 1977. The fan-voted Music City News readers voted them the No. 1 duet in 1971, 1972, 1973, 1974, 1975, 1976, 1977, 1978, 1980 and 1981. In addition to their five Number 1 singles, they had seven other Top 10 hits between 1976 and 1981.[1] Loretta Lynn and Conway Twitty are the most successful and most awarded male/female duet teams in country music history. Conway and Loretta, their duo name, released an album in 1977 titled "Dynamic Duo" and were considered that by their many fans.
As a solo artist, Lynn continued to be very successful into 1971, achieving her fifth No. 1 solo hit, "One's on the Way", written by poet and songwriter Shel Silverstein. The songs that didn't reach the top spot peaked within the Top 10 during this time, "I Wanna Be Free", "You're Lookin' At Country" and 1972's "Here I Am Again", all released on separate albums. The next year, she became the first country star on the cover of Newsweek.[23] In 1972 Loretta was the first woman nominated and the first woman to win the prestigious Entertainer Of The Year award at The CMA awards. Lynn also won the Female Vocalist Of The Year and Duo of the year with Conway Twitty, beating out Legendary duos George Jones and Tammy Wynette, and Porter Wagoner and Dolly Parton.
Tribute album for Patsy Cline[edit]
In 1977, Lynn recorded I Remember Patsy, an album dedicated to her friend and country pop singer Patsy Cline, who had died in a plane crash in 1963. The album covered some of Cline's biggest hits. The two singles Lynn released from the album, "She's Got You" and "Why Can't He Be You," became major hits. "She's Got You," which went to #1 by Cline in 1962, went to #1 again that year by Lynn. "Why Can't He Be You" peaked at #7 shortly afterward. Lynn enjoyed enormous success on country radio until the early 1980s, when a more pop-flavored type of country music began to dominate the market. She stayed within the country Top 10 until the mid-1980s; however, most of her music by the late '70s had a slick pop sound to it. Lynn had her last #1 hit in early 1978 with her solo single "Out of My Head and Back in My Bed." In 1979, she had two Top 5 hits, "I Can't Feel You Anymore" and "I've Got a Picture Of Us on My Mind," from separate albums. Lynn would sit for an hour or more on a stage giving autographs to her fans after a performance. Once in Salisbury, Maryland, the town's newspaper editor interviewed her while she was signing autographs. Editor Mel Toadvine asked her why she took so much time to sign autographs while more than 100 people stood in line all the way to the front of the Wicomico Youth and Civic Center. "These people are my fans," she told Toadvine. "I'll stay here until the very last one wants my autograph. Without these people, I am nobody. I love these people." In 1979, she became the spokeswoman for Procter & Gamble's Crisco oil and did TV commercials and print ads for them for a decade, ending in 1989. Because of her dominant hold on the 1970s, Lynn was named the "Artist of the Decade" by the Academy of Country Music. She is the only woman to win this honor.[citation needed]
1980–1989: Continued success[edit]
On March 5, 1980, the film Coal Miner's Daughter debuted in Nashville, and soon became the No. 1 box office hit in the United States. Lynn crossed over from country music superstar to American legend. The film starred Sissy Spacek as Loretta and Tommy Lee Jones as Mooney Lynn. The film received seven Academy Award nominations, winning a Best Actress Oscar for Spacek and a slew of other top honors, including a gold album for the soundtrack album, a Grammy nomination for Spacek's singing as Lynn, a Country Music Association & Academy of Country Music awards plus several Golden Globe awards. The 1980s featured more hits ("Pregnant Again," "Naked in the Rain," "Somebody Led Me Away").[24] Her 1980 and 1981 albums, Loretta and Lookin' Good spawned these hits. Lynn was the first woman in country music to have 50 Top 10 hits. Her last Top 10 record as a soloist was "I Lie" in 1982, but her releases continued to chart until the end of the decade. Lynn continued to have Top 20 hits throughout the 1980s.
One of her last solo releases was 1985's "Heart Don't Do This to Me," which reached No. 19; her last Top 20 hit. In 1993, Lynn stopped releasing singles and focused more on touring than promoting. As a concert artist, she remained a top draw throughout her career, but by the early 1990s she drastically cut down the number of personal appearances due to the fragile health of her husband, who died in 1996. Her 1985 album Just a Woman spawned a Top 40 hit. In 1987, Lynn lent her voice to a song on k.d. lang's album, Shadowland with other country stars, Kitty Wells and Brenda Lee, "Honky Tonk Angels Medley." They released a video for this medley, the album went gold and was Grammy nominated for the four women. Lynn's 1988 album Who Was That Stranger would be her last solo album for a major record company as a solo artist. She remained one of country music's most popular and well-loved stars. She was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 1988.[25]
1990–present: Later music career[edit]
Lynn returned to the public eye in 1993 with a hit CD. The trio album Honky Tonk Angels, recorded with Dolly Parton and Tammy Wynette. The CD peaked at #6 on the Billboard Country charts and #68 on the Billboard Pop charts and charted a single with "Silver Threads and Golden Needles." They also released a popular video of this song. The album sold over 800,000 copies and was certified gold in the United States and Canada. The trio was nominated for Grammy and Country Music Association awards. Lynn's former singing partner Conway Twitty died in 1993. Tammy Wynette died five years later. The following year released a three-CD boxed set chronicling her career on MCA Records. In 1995, she taped a seven-week series on the Nashville Network (TNN) titled Loretta Lynn & Friends, and performed some fifty dates that year.[26]
In 1995, Lynn was presented with the Pioneer Award at the 30th Academy of Country Music Awards. In 1996, she was widowed. In 2000, she released her first album in several years, Still Country. In it, she included a song, "I Can't Hear the Music," as a tribute to her late husband. She also released her first new single in over 10 years from the album, "Country in My Genes", when the single charted on the Billboard Country singles chart it made Lynn the first woman in Country Music to chart singles in five decades. While the album gained positive critical notices, sales were low in comparison with her previous releases. In 2002, Lynn published her second autobiography, Still Woman Enough, and became her second New York Times bestseller peaking in the top ten. In 2004, she published a cookbook, You're Cookin' It Country.[citation needed]
In 2004, Lynn made a comeback with the highly successful album Van Lear Rose, the second album on which Lynn either wrote or co-wrote every song. The album was produced by her "friend forever" [27] Jack White of The White Stripes, and featured guitar work and backup vocals by White. Her collaboration with White allowed Lynn to reach new audiences and generations, even garnering high praise in magazines that specialize in mainstream and alternative rock music, such as Spin and Blender.[28] Rolling Stone voted the album the second best of the year for 2004. It won the Grammy Award for Best Country Album of the Year. Lynn is reportedly working on a follow-up to 2004's Van Lear Rose, plus a new CD of re-recorded versions of some of her hits over the past 45 years.
In late 2010, Sony Music released a new album titled Coal Miner's Daughter: A Tribute to Loretta Lynn, featuring stars like Reba McEntire, Faith Hill, Paramore, and Carrie Underwood to re-record Loretta's hits over the past 50 years. The CD produced a top ten video hit on GAC with the lead single "Coal Miner's Daughter" that Lynn recorded with Miranda Lambert & Sheryl Crow. The single cracked the Billboard singles chart making Lynn the first female country recording artist to chart records in six decades. In May 2010, Lynn performed at the Nelsonville Music Festival in Nelsonville, Ohio.[29] In 2012, Lynn published her third autobiography, Honky Tonk Girl: My Life in Lyrics.[30] As of September 3, 2013 19 new projects are reportedly finished including a Christmas and religious album, and Loretta has hinted of a reunion album with Jack White, the producer of her critically acclaimed and two time grammy award winning album "Van Lear Rose". Loretta also contributed her take on the Civil War era song "Take Your Gun and Go, John" to Divided & United: Songs of the Civil War, which was released on November 5th, 2013.

The CD featured Kid Rock, Reba McEntire, Sheryl Crow, Miranda Lambert, Alan Jackson, Gretchen Wilson, The White Stripes, Martina McBride, Paramore, Steve Earle, & Faith Hill. In 2011 Lynn was nominated for an Academy of Country Music, CMT Video and Country Music Association award for "Vocal Event of the Year" with Miranda Lambert and Sheryl Crow for "Coal Miner's Daughter" released as a video and single off the CD.[citation needed]
On September 25, 2012, Loretta Lynn marked her 50th anniversary as a Grand Ole Opry member. The only other women to reach this milestone have been Jean Shepard, Minnie Pearl and Wilma Lee Cooper. Lynn was honored with a tribute show that was broadcast on GAC-TV.[citation needed]
On August 8, 2013, President Barack Obama announced that Loretta Lynn would be awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom. The press release read as follows: "Loretta Lynn is a country music legend. Raised in rural Kentucky, she emerged as one of the first successful female country music vocalists in the early 1960s, courageously breaking barriers in an industry long dominated by men. Ms. Lynn's numerous accolades include the Kennedy Center Honors in 2003 and the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in 2010."[38]
At the height of her popularity, Lynn was subject to much controversy. Songs by Lynn that have been banned include "Rated "X"," about the double standards divorced women face, "Wings Upon Your Horns", about the loss of teenage virginity, and "The Pill", lyrics by T. D. Bayless, about a wife and mother becoming liberated via the birth-control pill. Her song "Dear Uncle Sam", released in 1966 during the Vietnam War, describes a wife's anguish at the loss of a husband to war. It has been included in live performances during the Iraq War.[12]
Though Lynn has been outspoken about her views on often-controversial social and political subjects, she stated, "I don't like to talk about things where you're going to get one side or the other unhappy. My music has no politics."[39] She has visited the White House six times since 1976, under both Republican and Democratic presidents,[40] and in her autobiography, she said her father was a Republican and her mother was a Democrat. In 2002's Still Woman Enough, she discusses her longtime friendship and support for Jimmy Carter,[41] yet during the same time period she made her only recorded political donations ($4,300) to Republican candidates and Republican-aligned PACs. She is known to have a friendly relationship with both George H. W. Bush and George W. Bush, who awarded her Kennedy Center Honors in 2003.[42] In 2013, she was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by Barack Obama.[43] At other times, she has also questioned both political parties: "Dear Uncle Sam" was written in 1966 during the Lyndon B. Johnson administration to "recount the human costs of the Vietnam War", and she made a return to her live sets during the Iraq War under George W. Bush's presidency.[citation needed]
While a recognized "advocate for ordinary women", Lynn has often criticized upper-middle-class feminism for ignoring the needs and concerns of working-class women.[44] She once stated, "I'm not a big fan of Women's Liberation, but maybe it will help women stand up for the respect they're due." Along these lines, her music has spanned from "The Pill" and "Rated X" to more culturally-conservative gospel albums.[45]
She allowed PETA to use her song "I Wanna Be Free" in a public service campaign encouraging people not to chain their dogs outside.[46]

The Samsung CLP-300 is remarkably small for a color laser printer, owing to a unique toner configuration, which we'll get to later. The printer sits 15.4 inches wide, 13.5 inches tall, and 10.4 inches deep, and it weighs a mere 30 pounds. The input tray does jut out a bit from the front, but overall, the printer's footprint is about as compact as you'll find among laser printers.
Paper handling is rudimentary on this small- and home-office-oriented printer. A single 150-sheet paper tray pulls out from the front and can hold a variety of paper sizes, from small 3x5 cards to legal-size sheets (the tray expands to hold the longer sheets). If you want to manually feed single sheets, you can flip open the translucent plastic cover at the front of the tray and insert pages one at a time (you'll have to unload any paper in the tray first). The well in the top of the printer serves as the output tray, and a flap folds out to corral long sheets. You can't expand the paper handling, but the setup should suffice for small offices.
The control panel on this printer is basically nonexistent, limited to just a cancel button and four color LEDs that let you know when toner levels are getting low. Any changes to the printer setup can be made through your PC, using the Samsung Smart Panel that's installed when you set up the printer.
Both the Samsung CLP-300 and the CLP-300N ship with a 300MHz processor, but the CLP-300 features only 32MB of memory to the CLP-300N's 64MB. Neither is upgradable. The CLP-300 offers only a USB 2.0 connection, while the CLP-300N also throws in a 10/100 Ethernet connector for networked printing.
One of the reasons the Samsung CLP-300 is so small is its unique toner cartridge setup. Most color laser printers use toner cartridges that include the image drum. Samsung separates the drum from the toner, resulting in small toner "canisters" that measure about 3.5 inches long and 2.25 inches in diameter (the black canister is slightly larger). The four toner canisters--cyan, magenta, yellow, and black--plug into the front of the single drum, behind the cover panel, saving both space and money, as the drum will outlast the toner canisters. We like this setup because it makes changing toner a simpler task and produces less physical waste.
Given the low price point of the Samsung CLP-300, we weren't terribly surprised by its slow print speeds. It printed black text at a respectable 13.49ppm, but it was slow at black graphics, pushing out just 3.68ppm. Color text and color graphics prints were slow, too: 3.77ppm and 3.71ppm, respectively. The models closest in price that we've reviewed are the Lexmark C500n and the Oki C3400n (both are $400, as compared to the CLP-300N model, which costs $350) and both posted much faster numbers across the board.

Don't know much about the Barclay toilets, and their web site doesn't give us too much information about how they are supposed to work. I can say that the trapway looks pretty compressed compared to the good-flushing toilets that are often discussed on here, so I would at least want to see how it flushes before buying. That it only comes with a cheap white plastic flush handle is a little cheesy, but I understand that when you order it, you have the option of including a nicer handle in a variety of finishes.
The quality issues and weirdo internal operating parts of the Champion are well-documented on this site. (Click toilet reviews above, and scroll down to the Champion.) The Vicki is a classic-looking toilet and the Champion is more modern looking, so I don't know what appearance requirements you have or whether you are just talking about flush quality. If you look around this site, you will see that you may wish to consider a comparable Toto toilet if low defect rates, excellent flush, quality design, reliability and easy repair are important to you. In the price range you are talking about, the Drake and Drake II offer two different designs that might appeal in the Toto line, along with any others. All these Totos flush well, without the need for one of those loud pressure-assist devices.
Keep looking here, because someone who contributes to this site will probably have some knowledge of the Barclay toilets.

I canna' think of a thing to say about this...
I canna' think of a thing to say about this...
There goes the birthday cake!
Patricia & Flake,
Great pics-thanks for the laughs!!
No. My cats let me know they did it, they will bring the roll into the bedroom, or whatever room I am in and be just out of sight and start tearing it up. Then they will bring some of the paper into view and then take off. I swear they are laughing when they do this!!!!!
P.S sorry been away so long. School is getting harder with each class. I will try to put aside at least one day a week to see everyone!
That... or like my Anna would do, put her toys in my boots! I would go to put on my boots to go to work and I would find all her toy mice.
I am glad I came here, it makes me smile and laugh... Then I could have a good day!
Thanks again, Jake and Oz just look cute!
Considered by some to be unnatural acts of love... I say it's only proof that cats are wonderful loving creatures... although if I were that ferret I might try to not taste like a cheezeberger.
So good pictures Flakey!
my 'baby' - that's Cleo, she's 13 and always been a huge cat but she's lovable . She loves to climb on my hubby's PC desk. We also have a bunny named Cinnamon.

It looks like Teemu Selanne will be back for his 18th season in the National Hockey League.
The veteran forward told Finnish sports magazine Urheilulehti on Friday that he intends to return for 'at least another year' and a contract with the Anaheim Ducks should be done over the next few days.
"I made the decision to continue my career," he told the magazine. "In fact, it has been clear for a long time. Negotiations are now ready to begin."
Selanne, who is expected to play his 12th season with the Ducks, added that his level of play and the direction the Ducks were going in affected his decision. In 54 games last season, he scored 21 goals and 48 points.
"I informed (Anaheim) that if they re-build (the team), I'll then do something else," Selanne said. "With the guys that the team has acquired, I'm convinced that we can still succeed."
The Ducks added plenty of depth over the summer, signing defenceman Andy Sutton and fellow countrymen Toni Lydman and Saku Koivu.
Selanne also told the Journal that he's made a pitch to the Ducks and former teammate Paul Kariya for a reunion in Anaheim.
"I've talked to Paul and the Ducks," said Selanne. "Paul has been waiting for my decision and I hope things move forward," he said.
In 1,186 career games split between the Ducks, Winnipeg Jets, Colorado Avalanche and San Jose Sharks, Selanne has 606 goals and 1,260 points.
Martin St. Louis is a Ranger, Matt Moulson is a member of the Minnesota Wild and the Montreal Canadiens have Thomas Vanek. Look back at all the big name deals that went down.

Screw's Former Editor-in-Chief—In Praise of Helen Gurley Brown
As a single man, I live for the single girl.
With the passing of Helen Gurley Brown, the original Cosmo girl, the old debates about her retro-progressive, sex-positive brand of feminism will be rekindled. And even as she is lauded as a catalyst for a spectacular wave of newfound sexual empowerment among a gender that was often brow-beaten and moralized into frigid submission, she may well perpetually be reviled by the old-school feminist cadres whose humorlessness almost ruined feminism for the rest of us.

Cloud computing isn't just a set of technologies-it's also a fundamental shift in technology. Most of the assumptions we make about computing come from an era when it was scarce, precious, and worth defending. Today, technology is abundant, ubiquitous, and almost too cheap to measure. It permeates our lives, changing us as a society and a species. Clouds change how we work, and work changes what clouds do.
In this continuous cycle of disruption and innovation, it's hard to tell where things are headed. That's what we tackle in the Futures and Disruptions track, which looks at the trends, consequences, and ragged fringes of on-demand computing.

- The Unengageables (Dan Meyer) — They signed their "didactic contract" years and years ago. They signed it. Their math teachers signed it. The agreement says that the teacher comes into class, tells them what they're going to learn, and shows them three examples of it. In return, the students take what their teacher showed them and reproduce it twenty times before leaving class. Then they go home with an assignment to reproduce it twenty more times. Then here you come, Ms. I-Just-Got-Back-From-A-Workshop, and you want to change the agreement? Yeah, you'll hear from their attorney. Applies to management as much as to teaching.
- Fixing Signin — The general principle can be stated simply, in two parts: first, give users a trust-worthy way to identify themselves. Second, do so with as little information as possible, because users don't want to (and simply can't) remember things like passwords in a secure way. (via Tim Bray)
- Retro Gaming with Raspberry Pi (Adafruit) — finally, a clear incentive for kids to work through the frustration of setting up their own Linux box.
- Mieko Haire — Apple's fictious demo lady. Or is she fictitious? This is a new aesthetic-esque glitch, but while most glitches are glitches because you see something that doesn't exist, this is glitchy because the fictions are actual people. Ok, maybe I need to lay off the peyote.

Engineering Virality, App Store Numbers, App Store Data, and FPGA OS
- How To Make That One Thing Go Viral (Slideshare) — excellent points about headline writing (takes 25 to find the one that works), shareability (your audience has to click and share, then it's whether THEIR audience clicks on it), and A/B testing (they talk about what they learned doing it ruthlessly).
- A More Complete Picture of the iTunes Economy — $12B/yr gross revenue through it, costs about $3.5B/yr to operate, revenue has grown at a ~35% compounded rate over last four years, non-app media 2/3 sales but growing slower than app sales. Lots of graphs!
- Visualizing the iOS App Store — interactive exploration of app store sales data.
- BORPH — an Operating System designed for FPGA-based reconfigurable computers. It is an extended version of the Linux kernel that handles FPGAs as if they were CPUs. BORPH introduces the concept of a 'hardware process', which is a hardware design that runs on an FPGA but behaves just like a normal user program. The BORPH kernel provides standard system services, such as file system access to hardware processes, allowing them to communicate with the rest of the system easily and systematically. The name is an acronym for "Berkeley Operating system for ReProgrammable Hardware".

Talking About Your Product, Moving On, Visible Turk, and Digital Nativity
- What Twitter's API Anouncement Could Have Said (Anil Dash) — read this and learn. Anil shows how powerful it is to communicate from the perspective of the reader. People don't care about your business model or platform changes except as it applies to them. Focus on what you're doing for the user, because that's why you make every change–right? Your average "we've changed things" message focuses on the platform not the user: "*we* changed things for *our* reasons" and the implicit message is because *we* have all the power". Anil's is "you just got this Christmas present, because we are always striving to make things better for you!". If it's deceitful bullshit smeared over an offensive money grab, the reader will smell it. But if you're living life right, you're telling the truth. And they can smell that, too.

Version Control for Real Stuff, Educators on Food Stamps, Gestural Exploration, and Book Marketing
- We Need Version Control for Real Stuff (Chris Anderson) — This is pointing us toward the next step, a GitHub for stuff. If open source hardware is going to take off like open source software, we need this. (via Evil Mad Scientist)
- Graduates and Post-Graduates on Food Stamps (Chronicle of Higher Education) — two points for me here: the inherent evil of not paying a living wage; and the pain of market signals that particular occupations and specialisations are not as useful as once they were. I imagine it's hard to repurpose the specific knowledge in a Masters of Medieval History to some other field, though hopefully the skills of diligent hard work, rapid acquisition of knowledge, and critical thought will apply to new jobs. Expect more of this as we replace human labour with automation. I look forward to the software startup which creates work for people outside the organisation; the ultimate "create more value than you capture".
- Explore Exoplanets with Gestural Interfaces — uses John Underkoffler's Oblong gestural interface. Underkoffler came up with the Minority Report interface which has fed the dreams of designers for years.
- Book Marketing Lessons Learned (Sarah Milstein) — I really liked this honest appraisal of how Baratunde Thurston marketed his "How to be Black" book, and am doubly chuffed that it appeared on the O'Reilly Radar blog. I was fascinated by his Street Team, but knew I wanted to bring it to your attention when I read this. Start with your inner circle. I had an epiphany with Gary Vaynerchuk. I asked: "Did I ever ask you to buy my book?" He said, "Yeah, I bought it yesterday." I talked about his book, but cash on the table — it didn't happen. He wished he had identified everyone he knows, sending a personal note explaining: "A) buy the book; B) this means a lot to me. You owe me or I will owe you. Here's some things you can do to help: If you have speaking opportunities, let me know. For instance, I would love to speak at schools." Make it easy for people who want to help you. Everything else is bonus. If you haven't already converted the inner circle, you've skipped a critical step. "Let the people who already love you show it" is the skill I feel like I've spent years working on, and still have years to go.
True in spirit: Why I liked "Captain America," but didn't like "John Carter"
A common and honest essence unites characters and businesses alike.
Why is the "Captain America" film a better adaptation than "John Carter"? Because "Captain America" understands the essence of what matters about the main character. The same notion applies to the authenticity of business brands.

"Everyone's favorite chocolate cookie. Your life is not complete until you have eaten these cookies."
Watch video tips and tricks
1/2 cup vegetable oil
4 (1 ounce) squares unsweetened chocolate, melted
4 eggs
2 cups white sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 pinch salt
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1 cup confectioners' sugar
I think the people who rated these poorly must be doing something wrong. I've used this recipe for years (without the chocolate chips - it's the Betty Crocker one) and they are fantastic! There are two important steps to getting these to turn out right - first, you have to chill them thoroughly - either the four hours in the fridge or one or two in the freezer - or they'll turn out flat. Baking time is super important and took years for me to get down! They should be still squishy but not glossy - they'll firm up to be chewy on the inside with a crispy shell.
Didn't work for me :( Cookies were flat and crispy. The flavor wasn't what I would like in a double chocolate crinkle.
20 Ratings
I followed the recipe exactly.They came out soft, chewy and fudgy. When I was making the dough balls, they tend to stick to my hands so I floured my hand and them rolled the balls.These cookies are so beautiful looking and they are delicious.Thank you for share the recipe.
These cooked up perfectly after about 1.5 hrs of freezing the dough in the metal mixing bowl. Roll each cookie in plenty of powdered sugar before baking for the "crinkle" look as the cookies will absorb some while baking. 12 mins was the perfect bake time in my oven. Make these; they're a chocolate lover's delight!
The chocolate chips are a nice touch. After freezing them overnight the first batch i cooked didn't crinkle much -- the confectioner's sugar was in huge, unbroken blobs. After flattening the second batch turned out a little better, but there must be a trick to producing a flawless looking cookie. They still taste phenomenal though, regardless of how they look.
These are the BEST cookies I have ever had. I was stationed in Iraq and my family sent me some Chocolate Crinkles. I made the mistake of sharing them with my office. Everytime I got a package after that I got surrounded to see if I got more cookies. They were nicknamed "Crack cookies" because they were so addictive. WARNING: When you make the cookies ensure that you let the dough refrigerate overnight or they will not have the right consistancy.
I got so many compliments on how good these were. (gave in holiday cookie baskets)
used tons of powdered sugar, baked on second to top shelf of oven, the cinkle turned out great used an entire ghiardelli baking bar & 2 cups mini chocolate chips, these are yummy chocolatety cookies

Pours black with a mocha head of a quarter inch fading quickly.
Great nose, thick with chocolate, cream, coffee, roasted barley, lactose, milk chocolate, sweet and sensuous.
A solid rock of a beer that I'm going to drink way to quickly. Thick and creamy with big roasted barley through the finish with layers of sweet milk chocolate and lactose. Some light dark fruits including plum and black truffles. Way to easy to drink.

Received in a pint glass.
3.5 A: Black color. Came without a head.
3.5 S: Quite chocolate-ty with deep caramel notes and molasses. Hints of diacetyl. Supple roastiness and oatmeal to round this off.
3.5 T: Sharp chocolate, caramel, slight woodiness, oatmeal. Again, hints of diacetyl.
3.5 M: Medium body. Good moderate carbonation. Reasonably creamy.

Review from notes taken 2/12/11. Growler filled during the weekend of the Dark Apparition BA Kopi and Rum Vanilla release and shared with some friends back home. Let me just say right now that anyone within my reach who plans to go to Jackie O's, please contact me before hand so I can give you several growlers to fill. This growler fill was 64oz for like $9. Unreal, I even asked the bartender to make sure the price was right. I pay more than that for mediocre bombers in PA!!
Poured into a snifter, this brew appears black in color with hardly an indication of lighter brown around the edges. A finger of brown head forms and slowly recedes leaving finger-like lacing effect on the glassware.
The smell of this brew is deep and roasty, nearly burnt smelling without going that far. The smell is caught somewhere between charcoal and very deep chocolate. It has a unique coffee-like scent that is partially citrusy. Overall this is an interesting semi-sweet and tangy chocolate smelling brew.
The taste is unsweetened chocolate, roasty, lightly bitter yet semi-sweet with a fresh grain character that is roasty. The level of roast on the grain is deep and enjoyable and almost goes too far into the smoked realm. A tangy amount of alcohol is present but blends well into the flavors and is not distracting at all. Very enjoyable liquid chocolate aspect about this brew which is fitting of it's name.
This is a medium bodied brew with a light amount of carbonation. It is smooth and easy drinking but I was happy to share the growler with a few people. A glass or two would have been more than enough on my own. While it is an outstanding chocolate stout, it starts to get to me after my glass nears being empty.

Big thanks to Deuane for bringing me this growler back from a recent trip to the brewery. Thanks again buddy! Growler poured into a duvel tulip.
A - Pours pitch black with a nice half finger tall dark tan head leaving very light lacing down the glass.
S - Tons of sweet chocolate and dark roasted malts mix well with a bit of lactose sweetness and the faintest hint of booze to create the core of this beer. More and more chocolate comes thru as it begins to come to room temp.
T - Plenty of chocolaty sweetness mixes well with the dark roasted malts, ground coffee, and lactose sweetness. Finish has plenty of sweetness throughout but it gets a bit hot as it warms up. Pretty good stout but nothing too mind blowing. I am looking forward to trying some of the other offerings from Jackie O's.
M - Heavy body and flavor with moderate carbonation. A bit thin but no big deal there. Finish has plenty of dark roast and strong chocolaty sweetness.
D - Pretty good. Based on the fact that I drank nearly half the growler myself I must have enjoyed some part of this one. The balance was good but it was just a bit too sweet. Still pretty good tho.

Had this at the recent release at the brewery.
On paper this beer sounded great, I was really looking forward to trying this finally.
Looked similar to all the other stouts that day. Black with minimal head. Not bad but nothing impressive.
Smelled sticky sweet. Lots of sweet milk chocolate, like fudge syrup. The sweetness is only surpassed by the (unwelcome) presence of an acidic funk. This is not uncommon for many JO's beers, but SCL was heavier on the sour factor than most others. It became too much for the style.
Bitter, but not as much chocolate as there was in the nose. Here comes the sour - like heavy vinegar. Some sweetness creeps in on the sides of the palate as you drink more of this. Roasty malts save this from being horrible, and help add body.
Very thinly carbonated, and typically dry - as was the staple mouthfeel of the day. Honestly I wasn't impressed here. The sourness kind of ruined this one for me, though the sweetness was a bit much on its own at times.
I dunno, I seem to be the only one mentioning the sour factor in this beer, though I am looking at my notes from that day (this was one of the first beers I tasted too). Maybe it just bothered me more than the others; as I said some light sourness isn't all that uncommon for many Jackie O's beers.

A-pours a jet black liquid with a tiny bit of deep brown head.
S-the nose is light and has some light mik chocolate, notes of oatmeal and some soapy hops in the back.
T-the taste is more bitter, the oatmeal and milk chocolate are still there but bitter burnt coffee ridns come in behind as the soapy hop flavors come by themself in the finish.
M-good full body with a thick and creamy feel. the finish is nicely carbonated and semi dry.
D-this is reasonably nicebut the hop presence seems out of place and slightly off. Still, the smooth oatmea stout body and weight make it drink smooth and easy.

On tap at Jackie O's VBRBDAKLDAQUINCE release.
A- Like Spider889 said, I cant score this any higher than a3 for appearance. It looked exactly like the other stouts that I had on tap that day. A very thin head that skims away with some spots lets behind here and there. Deep black body that has some viscosity to it.
S- Very chocolatey on the nose. Ive begun to notice that when beers get really, really chocolatey they begin to smell like tootsie rolls. Now obviously there arent Tootsie Rolls in this beer, I think, but the gobs of sweet chocolate give this a candy like aroma. Thankfully there are some stout-like qualities in the way of roasted malts and caramel. But the caramel only serves to candy-up this beer more.
T- YEEESH! I had the BA version on tap, and have been kicking myself for missing that bottle release ever since. The BB Sweet Chocolate Love is one of JO's best. The regular version, however, not my cup of chocolate. And thats really what it is. Chocolate.
The word cloying gets used often on this site, too often actually so I try to avoid using it. In this case there really isnt any other word. I love sweet chocolate as much an anyone (ST Choclat is great) but there is something about how the chocolate presents itself here that is really off putting. I mentioned Tootsie Rolls when describing the aroma, well its tenfold in the taste.
M- The feel is smooth but much too thin on the body. The beer looked like it was going to have a decent weight to the body but it was deceptive.
D- I know this is the common air of BA but the barrel aged version is much better.

Thanks beace for hooking us up with this growler. Split three ways. Poured from a swing top growler into pint glasses.
A- Pours a dark, chocolate brown color. Produced two fingers width of tan head. Some lacing as the beer was consumed with a bit of head retention.
S- Mellow, sweet chocolate with plenty of malts. Has a definite milky presence. Bit of molasses on the back end. Simple, yet it has a very delectable aroma.
T- Much more depth here than in the aroma. Bitter chocolate upfront that is accompanied with a good amount of lactose. Lends a smooth milky flavor. Midway through to the finish a roasted flavor comes forward. Finishes with some roasted qualities and minor sweetness.
M- Medium bodied and very smooth. Really liked the texture.
D- Extremely drinkable. Lovin' the lactose.
Overall, this should be a regular offering.

The IT industry and future technologies are just too hot cake not to take part of, even if your core business is "something completely different". Bridgestone has started to develop e-Paper [or e-Ink, as some companies like to call the technology].
Two years later, Bridgestone is bringing its second generation to market. Bridgestone's e-Paper will come in several different models, but one of most important part is fully developed color technology. Given the limitations and lack of background lighting, don't expect an LCD-style experience. Secondly, an A4-size e-Paper refresh was accelerated to 0.8 seconds, roughly ten times faster than its previous generation.

It's pomp and pageantry at La Jolla's annual Christmas Parade
Here comes Santa Claus at the end of the La Jolla Christmas Parade.
• PHOTO GALLERY: Click on the NEXT> button above to see all 23 photos from the La Jolla Christmas Parade.
Floats, marching bands, cowboys and beauty queens made their way down Girard Avenue in the 56th La Jolla Christmas Parade and Holiday Festival, Dec. 8, 2013. Local politicians and business owners, along with dance teams, the YMCA, Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts and classic cars advanced the parade route with little elves-for-a-day running alongside tossing candy canes to the crowd.
Will it or won't it rain? That was the question on everyone's mind before the start of 56th annual La Jolla Christmas Parade. As it turned out, Mother Nature was very kind to the estimated 25,000 spectators and 3,000 participants that day. The event kicked off with the flyover of vintage biplanes that awed the crowd settling in along Girard and Prospect streets.
Parade organizer Ann Kerr-Bache said, "It was the biggest and best-attended parade ever! There were 30 vintage vehicles, 13 floats, 12 bands, 30 miscellaneous vehicles, 30 equestrian groups and an incredible horse-drawn wagon that is brought out only once every 12 years — in the Year of the Horse."
Following the parade, more merriment continued at the Holiday Festival held at the La Jolla Recreation Center.
