Little Picture House
151 East 50th Street,
New York,
1 person favorited this theater
The quaintly named theatre was reportedly America's first "cooperative cinema", owned and operated by a membership corporation that paid dividends to the shareholders from any profits realized. From its 1929 opening, The Little Picture House showed only what it considered the best of Hollywood and foreign movies, but always as single features with several short subjects added. Besides individual admissions, patrons could buy tickets in books of ten, which saved them about 15% off the regular price.
The theatre hoped to lure customers from the East Side "carriage trade" and the numerous hotels in the area, especially the still building, 2,200-room Waldorf-Astoria on Park Avenue. Unfortunately, the advent of the Depression killed any chance of success, and The Little Picture House closed in 1934. It was replaced by stores and eventually by an office building.

NEW LITTLE CINEMA HAS FIRST SHOWING; Picture House in East Fiftieth Street Gives Preview of Christmas Features. IT HAS TALKIE ACOUSTICS Auditorium Is Copy, of Interior of Revolutionary Tavern Where Nathan Hale Was Tried. Christmas Waits Sing Carols. To Be Opened to Public Tomorrow.
"The Little Picture House, a new cinema theatre, was opened last night at 151 East Fiftieth Street, with an invitation preview showing of eight short sound films and a full length talking picture.
According to the program, the playhouse is situated on the site where 150 years ago Turtle Bay and Beekman Farm were intersected by the Eastern Post Road to Harlem. It was near the Union Flag tavern from which Major Andre' set forth to meet Benedict Arnold and where Nathan Hale was brought to trial. In commemoration of these events the auditorium of the Little Picture House is modeled after the room in which the historic events occurred.
The motion picture house is said to be the first built for sound pictures, the walls of the auditorium being covered with acoustic plaster to render a perfect reproduction of tone.
Last night the heating system was not yet in full operation, and large tin urns in which coal fires smoldered were in evidence. Women in ermine wraps sat huddled in their seats, the furs gathered closely about their shoulders. Most of the men kept on their overcoats and scarfs. The audience, however, remained to the end of the program and applauded each feature. Most of them seemed to think it good fun.
The program included three Christmas Waits, portrayed by Francis German, Carl Theman, and Kurts Bronell, who sang carols. This was followed by a series of short films, two of which were sound cartoons. A travel picture, a cowboy singing film and several others completed the series.
The feature photoplay was "The Unwritten Law", a British sound film production, which was directed by Sinclair Hill and in which Ion Swinley and Rosalie Fuller were featured. The picture is a drama of the Scottish moors, in which the actors talk in provincial dialect.
The officers of the Little Picture House are: President, Miss Elizabeth Perkins; vice presidents, Mrs. Harris Childs, Mrs. Robert Weeks Kelley, Mrs. Robert A. Sands and Mrs. Stephen Voorhees. Treasurer, Mrs. Howard Greenley; secretary, Mrs. Walter Russell, and managing director, Miss Sophie Smith".
A photo of the lounge of the Little Picture House in New York appeared as part of a portfolio of recent theater designs in the October 25, 1930, issue of Exhibitors Herald-World. It can be seen at the lower right of this page (click + sign in tool bar at bottom to enlarge.) The caption identifies the architects of the house as Pruitt & Brown.

If you are currently retired or getting close to retirement age, building a portfolio that generates stable income is probably your primary focus right now. In our opinion, one of the best ways to generate stable income is through dividend growth investing. Thankfully, this strategy is not rocket science and it is fairly simple for anyone to implement. Ideally, you want to build a portfolio of dividend paying stocks that have a track record of increasing their dividends every year. This way, not only are you generating stable income, but you are also able to maintain the purchasing power of your dollar (as long as your dividends are at least rising at the rate of inflation).
What Is A Dividend Aristocrat?
Each year, Standard & Poor's publishes its list of Dividend Aristocrats. According to S&P:
Since 1926, dividends have contributed nearly a third of total equity return while capital gains have contributed two-thirds. Sustainable dividend income and capital appreciation potential are both important in determining total return expectations.
The S&P 500 Dividend Aristocrats is designed to measure the performance of large cap, blue chip companies within the S&P 500 that have followed a managed-dividends policy of consistently increasing dividends every year for at least 25 years.
Companies included in the S&P 500 Dividend Aristocrats come from a broad spectrum of industries. Unlike indices that focus only on high dividend yields, which are typically from the Financials and Utilities sectors, the "Dividend Aristocrats" are well diversified across all sectors.
All Dividend Aristocrats Are Not Created Equal
While we believe that the S&P's list of Dividend Aristocrats is a great place to start your search, not all Aristocrats are created equal.
That said, we ran the entire list of Dividend Aristocrats through our rating system and came up with our "All-Aristocrat" team. This team is made up of the 20 Dividend Aristocrats with the highest Parsimony Ratings. We will highlight each of these stocks over the course of a 4-part series. Below is a schedule of the entire series.
- Part 1: Honorable Mention (stocks #16-20)
- Part 2: Third Team (stocks #11-15)
- Part 3: Second Team (stocks #6-10)
- Part 4: First Team (stocks #1-5)
The All Aristocrat Team: First Team
The vast majority of the roughly 50 S&P Dividend Aristocrats rank very highly in our system, but we only picked the top 20 for our All-Aristocrat Team. This article highlights the 5 stocks that made our First Team (stocks ranked #1-5). Some of these stocks may surprise you a bit (given that none of them have a dividend yield over 3.0%). However, yield should not be the only factor you look at when analyzing a long-term investment for your retirement portfolio. The tables below summarize some of the key data points that we analyze when ranking our dividend stocks.
#5 W.W. Grainger, Inc. (GWW)
W.W. Grainger has our highest possible rating of "99" for Dividend Track Record. The company has increased its dividend for 40 consecutive years, including a 15.2% compound annual growth rate over the past 10 years. GWW also has high ratings for Financial Stability (95) and Dividend Sustainability (79) and the company has grown earnings at a compound annual rate of almost 15% since 2006. It's no wonder that the company has delivered shareholders a total return of 179% over that same period.
#4 Wal-Mart Stores Inc. (WMT)
Wal-Mart is one of the best dividend growth stocks of all-time (in our opinion) and it has delivered shareholders a 62% total return over the past five years. In addition, the company has increased its dividend at a compound annual rate of 13.5% over that period. Also, the company still has a very modest payout ratio of 31.9%, so it has plenty of room to continue to increase its dividend in the future.
#3 McCormick & Company (MKC)
Despite a current dividend yield of only 2.1%, McCormick & Company is definitely a stock to consider for your DIY Dividend Portfolio. The company recently increased its dividend for 2013, which was the 27th consecutive year that the company has increased its quarterly dividend. Over the past 5 years, MKC shareholders have enjoyed a 93% total return, including a 9.2% compound annual dividend growth rate over that same period.
#2 Hormel Foods Corp. (HRL)
Hormel Foods carries our highest rating for Dividend Track Record (99). HRL recently announced its 47th consecutive annual dividend increase, raising its annual dividend to $0.68 from $0.60 (a 13.3% increase). Over the past 5 years, the company has delivered shareholders a 75% total return, and it has increased its dividend at a compound annual rate of 14.4% over that period. Like Wal-Mart, the company also has a very modest payout ratio of 30.3%, so it has plenty of room to continue to increase its dividend in the future.
#1 V.F. Corporation (VFC)
V.F. Corp. is one of only two stocks in our entire universe that has a rating above 80 in all five sub-categories. So it's no wonder that VFC carries our highest overall rating of "99." The company recently announced a quarterly dividend increase of 21%, which marked the 40th consecutive year of higher dividend payments to shareholders. Despite VFC's modest current dividend yield of 2.4%, the company has delivered shareholders a whopping 147% total return over the past five years.
If you are looking to generate stable income, dividend growth investing is a great way to accomplish this goal and any one of these dividend Aristocrats make a nice addition to your portfolio.

Ghost Pines 2010 Chardonnay possesses expressive fruit-forward characters, the result of sourcing only Premium fruit from three of California's most recognized Chardonnay appellations: Sonoma, Monterey and Napa Counties. Modern winemaking techniques allow this wine to express characters of baked apple, pear and lemon cream accented by an elegant and sweet vanilla finish.
Like the unharnessed, free-form, ghost-like tree with which it shares a name, Ghost Pines represents the long, rich, winemaking heritage of California's finest appellations. By departing from traditional single appellation grape sourcing, the Ghost Pines winemaker is able to craft consistently superior "Winemaker's Blend" wines which showcase the concentrated yet elegant flavor characters that come from the best growing regions in the state.
California has nearly 100 American Viticulture Areas (AVAs) and accounts for almost 90% of wine production in the United States.

Litchfield, Goshen dogs now kept at Harwinton
Picked up strays need official pound
Harwinton's animal control facility looked empty from the outside on Wednesday afternoon, but inside a small dog from Litchfield was waiting out a 14-day quarantine period for having bitten someone. Bud Wilkinson Republican-American |
HARWINTON — The small brown-and-white dog that was curled up in a bed inside the town's animal control facility Wednesday afternoon was an out-of-town guest.
The visitor was undergoing a mandatory 14-day quarantine after biting someone in Litchfield. Its stay here was part of an experimental three-town agreement under which Harwinton will keep animals that are picked up in Litchfield and Goshen.

Nicholls Mound—A Burial Mound in Trempealeau
An example of a Hopewell site in Wisconsin is Nicholls Mound near the city of Trempealeau on the Mississippi River. When archaeologists from the Milwaukee Public Museum excavated the mound in the late 1920 - 1930's they discovered a burial tomb dug into the ground and covered with logs. A 12 foot high mound was built over the tomb. The tomb contained several individuals who were buried with ceremonial items made from exotic materials. Some of the items included large stone knives over 6 inches long made of obsidian from the Rocky Mountains, copper earspools, 6 copper axes, marine shell beads, and 20 freshwater pearl beads. You can still visit Nicholls mound from the bike trail just outside Trempealeau.

A burglary suspect is hospitalized in ICU after a McLoud homeowner shoots him in the stomach.
Police say the man caught the suspect burglarizing his home just after 4 a.m. Thursday. The resident shot the suspect in the stomach with a .25 caliber handgun. Despite his injury, the suspect managed to run from the house. The homeowner then called 911 for help.
The suspect later arrived at Midwest City Regional Hospital, claiming he'd been shot in the Scott Street area of Del City. As Midwest City police investigated, they discovered the man was actually a suspect in the McLoud burglary.
The suspect underwent surgery and is now in the intensive care unit. His condition is unknown.
The McLoud Police Department is investigating, but no charges are expected to be filed against the homeowner.

THE APARTMENT: First of all, we absolutely LOVE this location, which we will gush over in the following segment. This particular apartment has been beautifully renovated with new flooring, molding, modern kitchen with Microwave & Dishwasher, and Modern Bathroom with Stacked Washer/Dryer. The spacious living room is easily large enough for a comfortable living room set up & a kitchen table, island, or office desk. The bedroom are nicely sized, however one is large then the other, making this home truly ideal for an individual or couple interested in having a second room for guest or at home office. The finishes are just beautiful, as can be seen in the photos. The No Fee listing is available NOW so call us to take a look.
THE NEIGHBORHOOD: SoHo, east of Lafayette, is as good as it gets. If you aren't already familiar with the hood, access to the Prince N/R Train, and Spring 6 Train, is just a moment away. Surrounding the building are many tree lined streets packed with many of the neighborhoods top restaurants, shops, boutiques, and Manhattan's best shopping. After shooting this space we walked around the corner to enjoy lunch at Grey Dog (delicious sandwiches yum). We highly recommend the area.

Short answer:
Long answer:
There has been an insane susceptibility to the military propaganda of "supporting the troops" in the past 10 years. A good deal has to do with the Bush drums of war, some has to do with repetitious political rhetoric, and plenty comes from patriotism/near-nationalism. (Not that this whole idea doesn't pre-date Dubya.) I've never been a fan of it. It isn't that I hate the troops or anything. It's that I don't, nor could I, love them all. And why should I? "They're defending the country!", supporters may say. To that I ask, really? Offer me enough money and economic incentives and I might do the same thing. But that isn't really some virtuous defense of one's country, is it? It's more like defense of one's bank account.
Another issue I have with all this is that these people, whether there for their own gain (many) or there for some misplaced sense of virtue (also many), are there by choice. Of course, plenty of minorities go into the military in disproportionate numbers because it's more reasonable than working for minimum wage and more feasible than other ways of getting money for college, so it wouldn't be unfair to say they are hardly there by choice, but that aside, there is no draft. We are not North Korea where the alternative might be starvation. Why should I support someone who is choosing to do something simply because there are people in their field who find themselves in harm's way?
Speaking of those in harm's way, I do find myself sympathetic to their situation. The people who actually have to walk the streets of dangerous cities or who have to invade enemy compounds are in impressive danger. It's impossible to not respect that, even if they knew what they were signing up for. So I do support a good number of our troops. I just don't think every single person in the military is doing something amazing and dangerous, all in the pursuit and maintenance of freedom.
And that's my real problem with all these ugly yellow ribbons and magnets. They're offering up blanket support for a bunch of strangers who necessarily have various reasons for doing what they're doing. Some of those reasons are going to be in conflict with each other. How can someone reasonably say they support that? That's like saying I support William Lane Craig and Bertrand Russell because I also support philosophy. It's logically incoherent and borders on blind patriotism, which itself borders on simple nationalism.
All that said, I do support this guy:

The U.S. recycling rate for steel reached a record-high 83.3 percent last year, the Steel Recycling Institute (SRI) said Friday.
More than 82 million tons of U.S.-generated scrap were charged into steelmaking furnaces in the United States and abroad, said Pittsburgh-based SRI, whose recycling rates are based on data from scrap processors, steel producers, the U.S. Geological Survey and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

Norman and Sylvia Samet moved in September 2001 into their Longboat Key home. The couple spends "six months and one day" each year on Longboat Key. The rest of the year is spent in Greensboro, N.C.
The Samets consider their backyard to be an extra room of their home. They spend a great deal of time there with their next-door neighbors, so much time that they had Grant's Gardens put in a pathway between the two backyards to make visiting easier.
The Samets keep many of their plants in pots or in planters mounted on the walls and surrounding the perimeter of their backyard.
Planting up a wall
The Samets have dressed up their walls with unique planters filled with a variety of different vines and flowers. Adam Kirkland of Grant's Gardens said the wall planters dress up otherwise blank walls and are a great way to add color and texture.

Advisors: Are Your Social Media Efforts Missing the Mark? Get a Strategy!
As a child, I grew up playing sports, card games and board games with my family, especially my father and brother. We were highly competitive and often wagered money (or chores) on the outcome of our matches, much to the chagrin of my mother.
Like most people, I liked money and hated chores, so losing really got to me. One day I applied a specific strategy in a game of Monopoly … and it paid off, I won. And I kept on winning, or giving myself a better chance of winning, whenever I applied a game strategy.
That was a great feeling and, more importantly, a life lesson– having a plan/strategy helped me succeed. That lesson still lives with me today as I try to apply strategic thinking to everything I do, including my work.

Defendants are incorrect about much of their "parade of horribles" that will supposedly result from this Court's preliminary injunction. ... In this Court's view, a stay would flout the will of Congress, as this Court understands what Congress has enacted in the Dickey-Wicker Amendment. Congress remains perfectly free to amend or revise the statute. This Court is not free to do so. Congress has mandated that the public interest is served by preventing taxpayer funding of research that entails the destruction of human embryos.
Last year, President Barack Obama signed an executive order [JURIST report] permitting federal funding for some forms of embryonic stem cell research. Despite the executive order, Lamberth held that evidence showed that the plaintiffs were substantially likely to prevail based on existing law. The case was originally dismissed for lack of standing last October but was reinstated [JURIST reports] in June with only plaintiffs who claimed their ability to obtain funding for adult stem cell research was harmed by increased competition for federal funds after they were permitted to also be used for embryonic stem cell research. Those new guidelines reversed previous rules that limited government funding of embryonic stem cells to only cell lines that were in existence as of August 2001. Despite pressure from the scientific community, the previous administration refused similar changes to funding guidelines. In 2007, then-president George W. Bush vetoed [JURIST report] the Stem Cell Research Enhancement Act of 2007 [S.5 materials], which was intended to relax funding restrictions on embryonic stem cell research. The administration rejected the bill, saying it would compel taxpayers to support the destruction of human embryos. In 2006, Bush vetoed a previous version [JURIST report] of the Stem Cell Research Enhancement Act, which was passed by the Senate to remove restrictions on embryonic stem cell research, saying he would not provide federal funding for stem cell research because many consider the destruction of embryos to be murder.

Alessandro, in full Alessandro de' Medici (born 1510/11, Florence [Italy]—died Jan. 5–6, 1537, Florence), the first duke of Florence (1532–37).
Alessandro was an illegitimate child, whose paternity is ascribed either to Lorenzo de' Medici (1492–1519), Duke di Urbino, or, with more likelihood, to Cardinal Giulio, nephew of Lorenzo the Magnificent. Cardinal Giulio received the lordship of Florence in 1519; but, upon being elected pope in 1523 (Clement VII), he made Silvio, Cardinal Passerini, regent in Florence for Alessandro and another bastard heir, Ippolito de' Medici. Alessandro had meanwhile been created Duke di Penna by the Holy Roman emperor Charles V (1522).
Republican sentiments and Savonarolan ideas were still strong in Florence, and Cardinal Passerini's regency was unpopular. When imperial forces sacked Rome (May 1527), revolution broke out in Florence, and Passerini and the bastards fled. The Piagnoni family then came to power in Florence and restored the old regime of the republic. The indignation of the pope counted for little so long as he was at variance with Charles V; but in June 1529 pope and emperor came to terms. Charles agreed to restore the Medici in Florence and sent an army against the city, which capitulated after a siege of 11 months (October 1529–August 1530). Reprisals were taken against the opponents of the Medici; and Alessandro, whom Charles had nominated head of state for Florence in October 1530, returned in June 1531. Ippolito had been created cardinal (January 1529).
The new Florentine constitution of April 1532 declared Alessandro to be hereditary duke and perpetual gonfalonier of the republic. Though his common sense and his feeling for justice won his subjects' affection, Alessandro was rough and uncultured, a lover of sensual pleasures who enriched himself personally through taxes and duties and was determined to make his authority absolute beyond all question. After Clement VII's death (1534) the exiled opposition sought to oust the duke from Florence and persuaded Cardinal Ippolito to submit its case to Charles V. Ippolito, however, died suddenly at Itri (August 10, 1535), on his way from Rome to Tunis, where Charles then was; and Charles, returning from Tunis, received Alessandro at Naples and decided to uphold him. Married in 1536 to the emperor's natural daughter Margaret, the duke now felt altogether secure; but in the night of January 5–6, 1537, his distant cousin Lorenzino, or Lorenzaccio, de' Medici (1514–48), the companion and procurer of his licentious amusements, took advantage of his confidence in order to murder him. Disappointed at the Florentines' failure to rise against tyrannical government, Lorenzino fled and was himself murdered in 1548.

Cheap Espresso Machines
Cheap Espresso Machines Buying Guide
We all know how quickly the cost of a daily shot of espresso at your favorite coffee bar adds up. But if espresso is the brew that gets you going, it's a luxury you don't need to sacrifice to save money.
There are five types of espresso makers: stovetop pots of the type found in every Italian household; steam espresso makers that typically don't generate enough pressure to brew true espresso; very high-end automatic machines that grind, tamp, and brew (and sometimes clean themselves); manual machines, which are costly and challenging to use; and semi-automatic espresso makers, by far the most popular choice for the average consumer. Semi-automatic machines require you to activate the pump and turn it off, which means you control the amount of water and the brewing time.
We found several cheap semi-automatic espresso machines that produce more than decent espresso and cost less than $250. Our picks for best cheap espresso machine include the DeLonghi EC155 (starting at $82), a perennial favorite with espresso devotees for its speed, durability, and consistent delivery of a good shot. If you need to make only one cup at a time, take your espresso straight up, and are committed to pre-measured coffee capsules, the Nespresso Citiz C110 (starting at $230) is the machine for you. In the runner-up category sit the Capresso EC100 (starting at $135), which can whip out several shots in quick succession, and the Saeco Aroma 00347 (starting at $219), a versatile machine that crosses over into tea and instant soup territory but still manages to produce good espresso. We also spotted a cheap espresso maker that looks good on paper -- the programmable Cuisinart EM-200 (starting at $179) -- but a finicky steam wand and pump, slow heating, and questionable durability give users a metaphorical heartburn.
Espresso is made by forcing hot, pressurized water through tightly packed, very finely ground coffee. The result is a highly concentrated, small cup with a layer of marbleized, caramel-colored foam on top called "crema" (a mark of a well-made espresso). Pump pressure, measured in bars, affects the rate at which water is pushed through the grinds, which in turn is a key factor in determining how strong or watery the espresso is.
There is some disagreement about the number of bars needed to brew the best espresso. One expert at Coffee Geek argues that anything above nine bars of pressure is superfluous. Other experts say they would rather the machine automatically regulate down to nine bars of pressure than struggle to reach that level, and note that a higher number of bars means a shorter wait between shots. Regardless, all the cheap espresso machines on our list of top picks feature at least 15 bars of maximum brewing pressure, although brewing typically occurs at a lower level.
Cheap espresso machines have a single boiler, so they can't steam milk and brew espresso at the same time. Some models feature dual sieves for making double shots or a programmable function that regulates the delivery of one or two shots, and most have warming trays to take the chill off little ceramic cups. A cheap espresso machine typically comes with a pressurized portafilter (the long-handled attachment that holds the coffee and through which pressurized water flows), but on some models you can switch to a non-pressurized filter, which skilled baristas prefer.
While single-serve pods with ground beans sealed inside are the new in thing, espresso tradition calls for freshly ground, high quality beans. With many cheap espresso machines -- including all but one of those we researched -- you can go either way. If you plan to brew your fix from ground beans, it's worth investing in a good burr grinder. Experts at Coffee Geek recommend taking half the money you've budgeted for an espresso machine and using it for a grinder instead. (Less costly blade grinders generate more heat and static, which can damage the flavor, and some don't crush beans evenly.) Alternatively, find the best source for a weekly supply of freshly ground beans or turn to beans in a can that have been specifically ground for use in an espresso machine; brands such as Cafe Bustelo, Illy, and Lavazzo offer high quality ground beans for what amounts to pennies a shot.
Best Cheap Espresso Machines
Nespresso Citiz C110
This single-shot espresso machine has a slim, elegant design and comes in a multitude of colors. It takes pods only, making it a snap to use, and the 19-bar pump delivers the most pressure of any on our list. This machine is for espresso junkies only -- a milk frother must be purchased separately.
Read Full Review and Compare Prices »DeLonghi EC155
This machine features a swiveling frother and can use pods or grounds to make a pretty good cup of espresso with a rich crema. It takes a long time to make multiple cups, but for the money, it's a winner.

A good espresso machine for the price, it heats up quickly and delivers a tasty brew with a nice crema. The steam wand is situated in such a way that makes it difficult to remove a frothing pitcher.

The bill the OP posted for 250,000 marks is from 1923, the worst of the worse. One U.S. dollar was worth approximately 4.2 trillion German Marks from the 1923 Weimar Republic era. At the depths of the hyperinflation in November of 1923, the 250,000 Marks would be worth about $0.0000000595238095 U.S. Eventually, at the end of 1923, the Germans introduced a new currency called the Rentenmark which cut the value of the previous Marks by a factor of 100, making existing notes essentially worthless. I have no idea how much that thing would go for at a pawn shop, but considering that at one point there were something like a sextillion of them in circulation, I cannot imagine it would be much. Still pretty cool though. |

My Mother & Father lived thru the hyper inflation times.
Mom told me stories of picking up dad's pay 2x a day and running straight to the market to buy food before the $ became more worthless.. the note was issued Aug 13 and it states that it is valid and backed by the bank of Stuttgart until Sept 11 at 4 in the afternoon, At that time it would be re-rated in value at the then going rate of (exchange).........not exactly strong currency, huh? I think it mayhave been an oversight by WSU.....but Eine Million Marc isn't 1/4 Million , it is One Million. Not a perfect translation of the rest but pretty close.........I have a tough time with the type-style. I'd be interested in that note as memory of something my family lived thru. Pls PM any time with whatever $$ or trade you may want. Last edited by itselliott; June 22nd, 2013 at 05:35 AM. |

Kathy McGhan I own three Energy Muse necklaces. Because the transformations I've undergone as a result of wearing Energy Muse are so wonderful, radiant and empowering; I bought a Health bracelet for my sister after her third major back surgery. Before receiving Health, her mood was dark and focused completely on the negative. She was in pain constantly. The bracelet (along with daily affirmations) made such a difference in her. She will not take the bracelet off ever! She feels it literally saved her life with the energy and power it evoked. She is now practicing a modified yoga routine, working part time, off those horrid pain pills, and smiling again. Your products are wonderful...Namaste. |
Marcella Approximately five years ago I met Timmi, owner of Energy Muse and was immediately drawn to her energy and strength and soon discovered that Energy Muse was a powerful energy source that I wanted to incorporate into my daily regiment by wearing a couple key pieces (Sun with Coin and Strength with Coin Necklaces). |
Sher McAfee I always have my Protection Necklace in my pocket at work in my scrubs. If I start to feel overwhelmed or stress I reach into my pocket and hold them. When I had surgery to remove a tumor two years ago, my mother held them the entire time I was in surgery. Since then, the energy I have felt in them has been amazing. There is true power in believing that something is protecting you in all aspects of life. I hope to have my necklace forever. I bought my mom her own for and she keeps it on her purse. I love energy muse and just the purity and spirit of it all. |
Petra Moos Recently I bought the Clarity Necklace to open my mind to where I belong, where I want to live and to find stability in myself again. I've got stars in my eyes again, am more calm and focused and can really see what is important to me! Thank you Energy Muse. I will continue buying necklaces for my loved Ones and me! Much Love, Petra |
Shannon Gallagher My Grounding Bracelet has been immensely helpful in helping me to attain peace while I, as a teacher, undertook the great challenge of creating a brand new curriculum this year (for a school at which I am the "newbie!" Stressful!) The Freedom necklace will help me to continue to exercise my creativity at work, while also striving to achieve personal freedom for my goals in life outside of work. Thank you for inspiration! |
Carol Gerratana I received my wonderful Energy Muse Power Bracelet yesterday. I am amazed at the quality and beauty of this item. I want to thank Peta for partnering with animal lovers that are also creative artists. I am wearing this bracelet now and it not only reminds me of animals but of the fact that people working together can bring about change and make this a better world. |
Megan Hottman (professional cyclist) Bike racing is dangerous! We're out there going 30-60 mph, wearing nothing but thin lycra and styrofoam helmet! But to be successful in the sport you have to be able to push aside the apprehension of crashing and just go for it. My Energy Muse Guardian Angel necklace gives me peace of mind. I feel its weight around my neck while I race and it reminds me to stay calm and relaxed, to think positive, and to expect that things will go well for me. Since I bought it last fall, I've raced a lot and haven't crashed once. It reminds me that I've got guardian angels watching over me all the time, protecting me. |
Jon Bayouth My daughter have me the Energy Muse Power bracelet for a gift. The minute I attached the bracelet to my wrist, everything's been coming up roses! Not only have I seen some of my immediate goals come to fruition but have found wearing this bracelet to be a real confidence builder. I never see myself taking it off. I am a true fan. |

Born on December 15, 1933, in Willoughby, Ohio, comedic actor Tim Conway made triumphant appearances on The Steve Allen Show before landing a role in the series McHale's Navy. Further hijinks ensued with his work as an ensemble player on The Carol Burnett Show. He has won several Emmys over his career, with additional projects including the Dorf how-to series and guest spots on Coach and 30 Rock.
Early Career
Actor, comedian, screenwriter. Born December 15, 1933, in Willoughby, Ohio. After high school, Conway enrolled at Bowling Green State University, where he studied television and radio and showcased his unique sense of humor as a disc jockey at the college radio station. He graduated in 1956 and did a tour of duty in the Army. Upon his return, Conway got a job as a writer for the KWY-TV station in Cleveland, and within months he was performing with Ernie Anderson on the comedy show, Ernie's Place.
Breakthrough Role
In 1961, the comic legend Steve Allen signed Conway to appear as a regular on The Steve Allen Show. Conway went on to serve as Ernest Borgnine's second-in-command, Ensign Parker, on the ABC primetime sitcom McHale's Navy, from 1962 to 1966. He made his big screen debut in 1964, reprising his role as Parker in the film version of McHale's Navy. In 1967, after a stint on the summer variety show, The John Gary Show, Conway was given the leading role in a Western sitcom called Rango, which proved unsuccessful. In 1970, he starred in several other equally short-lived efforts, including The Tim Conway Show and The Tim Conway Comedy Hour.
The Carol Burnett Show
In 1975, Conway found TV success again, this time on CBS's The Carol Burnett Show. As a regular on the top-rated variety show, Conway delighted audiences with his hilarious characterizations and improvisations, consistently causing his co-stars, including Burnett and Harvey Korman, to break out of character and into uncontrollable laughter. From 1975 to 1979, when the show went off the air, Conway won four Emmy Awards, including one for his work as a writer. The network rewarded his success with another chance to headline his own variety series, but ratings were again disappointing. Another sitcom, Ace Crawford, Private Eye (1983), lasted less than two months. With the steady demise of the variety show format, Conway's brand of outlandish humor seemed increasingly out of place on the small screen, and his TV appearances became less and less frequent. He returned with a small bang in 1996, winning an Emmy for his guest appearance on the sitcom Coach.
Collaboration with Knotts
On the big screen, he first teamed with the comedian Don Knotts in 1975's The Apple Dumpling Gang.

Funded gastroenterology research spans a wide range of important areas in both basic science and clinical investigation. Hepatology, both basic and clinical, comprises the most active area of investigation.
- Andrew Feranchak, M.D., is recognized internationally for his innovative approaches to elucidating the basic mechanisms regulating biliary secretion and mechanisms of bile formation using in vitro models employing well characterized hepatocyte and cholangiocyte cell lines. More specifically, his laboratory is investigating the regulatory role of purinergic signaling in biliary secretion and bile formation. Dr. Feranchak's research is pivotal, since it is very likely that therapeutic interventions for cholestatic liver disease await a basic understanding of the basic mechanisms of bile flow.
- Norberto Rodriguez-Baez, M.D., is the principle investigator at our site for a national, multicenter, NIH-supported study examining the causes for fulminant hepatic failure in children. Dr. Rodriguez-Baez's second group of studies involves treatment of chronic hepatitis B and C.

The Indian and Black Rhinoceroses
By Susana Cortázar
Inevitably, when patrons walk through the many animal exhibits at Zoo Miami, they will stop and ooh and aah at two of our most impressive animals the powerful-looking Indian and Black rhinos, with their massive bodies, armor-like exteriors and imposing stature. Not only are they beautiful to look at, they are quite interesting and different from each other.
The Indian Rhino
The Indian rhino, also known as the Greater One-horned Rhinoceros is native to India and Nepal. Both genders have a single black horn which develops at six years of age and is used for protection, scent-marking, and charging. In the wild, they rub it against trees to sharpen it, while in captivity, they usually rub the horn down into a nub.
Although it has poor eyesight, it possesses excellent senses of hearing and smell. It can weigh from 5,000 to more than 6,500 pounds, ranges between 57 67 tall and is approximately 13 feet long. An excellent swimmer, it can also run up to 25 miles per hour.
Grazers, they eat grass, branches, fruits, and trees. They also do what is known as flehmening when the rhino comes across female urine, examines it, curls back his upper lips in order to expose his vomeronasal organ, and can tell from the drawn urine scent the hormonal level of the female and whether she is ready to breed.
The Indian rhinos natural enemies are tigers and humans, who hunt it for sport or to use its horn. Dominant males also fight among themselves, resulting in high mortality rates. Surprisingly, the Indian rhino fights with its incisors, not its horn. It is also very aggressive toward the female during courtship.
Females gestation period is approximately 16 months. Mothers give birth to one calf, and will stay with it up to four years. Babies are anywhere from 80 100 pounds at birth.
And now, lets meet Zoo Miamis four fascinating Indian rhinos:
Mohan male; in his 40s; one of the oldest rhinos in captivity; caught in the wild
Suru male; nine years old; can be seen if you take a behind-the-scenes tour; is used for breeding; came from the San Diego Zoo
Jaunpur (Johnny) male; 20 years old; weighs 4,700 pounds; the star of our Rhino Encounter Station; came from the San Diego Zoo
Kalu female; nine years old; 3,400 pounds; came from the Bronx Zoo
Our Indian rhinos are no lightweights. They eat a whopping 100 pounds of food a day one bale of hay, 20 25 pounds of pelleted food, and produce. For enrichment, they get browse mahogany, rosewood, rubber tree, ficus leaves and branches, avocadoes, and mangoes, all of which are found at Zoo Miami. They also enjoy playing with a 50-pound boomer ball and love to go for a swim in their respective exhibits pools.
Their four keepers work closely with them to train them to lean-in toward the fence so they can be closely examined, open their mouth to check their teeth and raise their foot for drawing blood for medical exams. Keepers follow a specific behavioral plan and each keeper is responsible for teaching a particular behavior. One of the most popular training techniques is target, where the rhino is trained to touch his/her nose to the end of a stick, enabling keepers to guide the animals where they need to go.
The keepers work very closely with the rhinos but never have unprotected contact with them. A system of heavy metal swinging doors keep them apart. Keeper Kim Jacobs states that, although keepers and their animals form a strong bond, we keepers need to have a healthy respect for these animals no matter how much we love them. After all, they are not pets, can become aggressive at any given moment and cause great harm.
Indian rhinos vocalize and keepers can tell what the rhinos are trying to tell them with each distinct sound. Kim explains some of the vocalizations. Air breaking, the most common, represents frustration; grunting means aggression; and when females are in heat, they constantly emit a high-pitched sound.
Zoo Miami has just opened a Rhino Encounter Station, where patrons will have the rare experience of touching, brushing and smelling a rhino. Johnny, the star, has been undergoing training for three months by means of audio cues to go to the encounter area and lean against the metal fence. Training started with a ringing bell and he is being given browse. Although rhinos are not very intelligent but easy to train, Johnny soon learned that when he heard the bell, going to the designated spot would earn him a treat. Hey, who wouldnt learn quickly if a treat were the end result?
Youll notice that Johnny does not have a horn. He has rubbed it down to a nub by marking his territory. In the wild, rhinos rub them into a sharp point to use them as defense and other purposes.
A funny, or maybe not depending on where youre standing characteristic of the male Indian rhino is that it urinates backward to mark its territory. So when you visit our rhino encounter at Zoo Miami, be cognizant that if Johnny decides to mark at that moment, you may need a change of clothes! But were sure youll have a good laugh!
The Black Rhino
The Black rhino, which has four subspecies ranging historically throughout sub-Saharan Africa, is not really black but more gray/brown/white, depending on the soil condition and its wallowing behavior. Approximately 11 12 feet long, 55 67 inches high, and weighing between 1,800 3,100 pounds, it runs at speeds up to 35 miles per hour. It has two keratin horns on its skull (keratin is the material that makes up human hair and nails) which are used for defense, breaking through big branches to feed, and instilling fear in its enemies. Its long, prehensile upper lip, much like an elephants or a tapirs allows it to grasp leaves and small branches.
While not blessed with good eyesight, they make up for it by relying on their excellent senses of smell and hearing. They are not territorial, but can become extremely aggressive and attack if they feel threatened or become confused.
Unfortunately, the Black rhino is almost extinct as a result of loss of habitat and its only natural predators lions, hyenas and poachers. Its horns are sought after for use in traditional Chinese medicine and it is claimed they cure fevers, act as an aphrodisiac, and help with fertility problems. While there is no medical proof for any of this, the practice has sadly resulted in an enormous reduction in the Black rhino population. In the Middle East, the horn is used to make hand-carved handles for daggers used in various ceremonial events. These handles are considered status symbols in and can cost anywhere from a staggering $15,000 to $75,000!
According to Zoo Miami Mammal Curator Conrad Schmitt, Zoo Miami has been very successful in producing Eastern Black rhinoceros babies 13 since we opened 30 years ago. There are now four Black rhinos at Zoo Miami:
Toshi male; imported from Hiroshima, Japan, in the late 80s and is the father of Circes unborn baby
Eddie male; 11 years old; born in Cincinnati and owned by Peace River
Circe female; 10 years old; pregnant and due in August; born at the Riverbanks Zoo and owned by the L.A. Zoo
Jello male; six years old; born at Zoo Miami
Their daily diet consists of one bucket of pellets, one bag of produce and a couple of big flakes of hay. For enrichment, they receive ficus leaves and branches, banana peels, rubber tree, mahogany, and a boomer ball, which they love to roll down into the moat.
Black rhino Area Manager Kim Harp, who was worked with the rhinos 3½ years, laughs when she talks about the rhinos vocalizations. They squeak like a little toy. They do this when they are calling out to each other or to the keeper. Its hysterical to see this huge animal have this little squeak come out of it. Other vocalizations include growling and roaring when they feel aggressive or upset, and huffing when they are excited.
Circe, who is pregnant, is more high strung, sensitive to her environment and timid than our males, says Kim. Behaviors during labor include pacing, contractions, pushing, and vocalizing in the form of squeaking. And now that a new black rhino is due in August, how does Kim feel about it? This will be Circes second baby and I am very excited to be having another black baby rhino running around soon.
Although there are seven keepers tending to them, the rhinos dont really have a favorite, although they can tell when someone new is around.
And while Indian rhinos urinate backward to mark their territory, they have been upstaged by the black rhinos. How? Well, not only do they urinate backward, but then defecate and kick their dung to spread it around in order to mark their territory.
So, should you ever come close to a rhino, it is suggested you either get the heck out of the way fast, or dont go behind him or her at all!

Politics is a filthy business. New technology provides the mud slingers added opportunities to ply their disgusting trade, as a news story from Ohio illustrates.
In a story datelined from Cincinnati, The Associated Press reported earlier this month that President Barack Obama's campaign was using the Internet to solicit stories about Republican Sens. Rob Portman, of Ohio and Marco Rubio of Florida. Both men had been named as potential running mates for Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney.
In Ohio, a website form sought ''need to know'' information about Portman. In Florida, a site asked for the ''good, bad and ugly'' on Rubio.
Of course anything good about the senators being would be consigned to a computer trash bin. Clearly, the idea was to dig up dirt about Portman and Rubio, in preparation for a smear campaign in case they were Romney's choice.
Technology brings many benefits to our lives. What a shame it is used in the slimy end of politics.
