City and state lawmakers are joining forces in an attempt to make buying tobacco as hard as buying alcohol.
City Council Speaker Christine Quinn, a mayoral candidate, joined state Senator Diane Savino and Assemblywoman Linda Rosenthal in City Hall on Sunday to announce legislation that would raise the minimum age to buy tobacco products to 21 statewide, from 18.
They say 90 percent of people buying cigarettes for minors are between the ages of 18 and 20.
The state Health Department also says 88 percent of adult smokers today began smoking before the of 19.
"By raising the minimum age to legally purchase tobacco products in New York City from 18 to 21, the same age it is to start drinking, we could potentially reduce the smoking rate among 18- to 20-year-olds by 55 percent and reduce the smoking rate among 14- to 17-year-olds by two-thirds," Quinn said.
The move comes on the heels of similar legislation that was introduced in the city last week.
A council hearing on the city legislation is scheduled for Thursday.

BDS Suspension Co.
2013 Ultimate Adventure - BDS Official Suspension Sponsor
We (BDS) once again took on a sponsorship role for the Ultimate Adventure. This year the UA is in the Southeast US. After an intense build, we sent our 2005 Jeep Liberty CRD to the event. The rig left for Alabama and a 2pm Saturday sign in deadline at midnight on Friday. It arrived in time and aside from a few trans and electrical issues, it seems to be doing well.
For anybody interested, we have build threads over on lostjeeps.com and jeepkj.com as well as on our blog and facebook page. Sorry for not posting on here earlier...I was a little preoccupied trying to get this out the door. A couple local companies we would like to thank for helping out with this project, PAC Racing for setting us up with coils for our 14" Fox COs and AllPro Automotive in Lansing for lending a hand to our time-crunched build team by rebuilding the axles. Sorry for all the links, but all the good stuff has already been written up... http://www.lostjeeps.com/forum/phpBB...hp?f=3&t=74599 http://www.jeepkj.com/forum/f196/bds...ject-kj-53320/ https://www.facebook.com/BDSSuspensions http://bds-suspension.com/blog/?cat=393 http://www.4wheeloffroad.com/2013/ultimateadventure/ https://www.facebook.com/4wheeloffroad Carter is on the trip and updating progress on Facebook daily.

Thanks guys. We knew going in that we had to do it right when starting with a less than ideal platform. We took it as a challenge and I feel like we met that challenge. As we got into it we decided to go the route of using JK Rubicon parts (axles, steering, transfer case) and use the paint scheme of the new JK 10th Anniversary Rubicon Model - Anvil paint color.

MBB: Indiana Southeast Rallies Past Valley City StateMar. 06, 2013 10:33 PM | Author: Viking Sports Admin
POINT LOOKOUT, Mo. – Indiana Southeast scored the last four points of the game to take a 75-72 win over Valley City State (N. D.) in the first round of the 22nd annual NAIA Division II Men's Basketball National Championship. The 2013 event is being held at the Keeter Gymnasium on the campus of College of the Ozarks (Mo.).
The Grenadiers led by as many as eight early in the game but Valley City State had the lead trimmed 38-34 at halftime. The Vikings staged a late comeback and took a one point lead at 72-71 on a three-point shot by Sekani Milligen with under a minute remaining. Indiana Southeast answered with a two point basket by Kegan Clark for a 73-72 lead and after a missed Viking three-point attempt the Grenadiers made a pair of free throws for the final margin of victory. Valley City State had a shot to tie the game that was short, advancing Indiana Southeast to the second round of the tournament for the second year in a row. Indiana Southeast made 26-59 shots from the floor for 44 % from the floor and they were topped by Clark's 17 points. Kevin Mitchell added 14 points and six rebounds with six assists. Valley City State was 25-60 from the field for 42 % and they were led by Milligen with 23 points while Dillan Ostrom scored 12 with eight rebounds. Rebounding was even at 34-34 and there was a combined 17 turnovers between the two teams with Indiana Southeast giving it up eight times while forcing nine Grenadier turnovers. Indiana Southeast will play on Friday against either St. Mary (Kan.) or St. Xavier (Ill.) at 4:00 p.m. The 32-team, single elimination tournament concludes Tuesday, March 12, with the championship game to tip-off at 8 pm. Ty Pratt shoots over the top of a defende at the Vikings first trip to the NAIA National Basketball Division II Basketball Tournament. |

Boracay weather forecast
Boracay has a tropical climate, with an average temperate around 30°C (88°F) and humidity of 75%. The year is divided into two distinct seasons. The rainy season begins around June and ends in late October. The dry season runs from November to May. The hottest months are April and May (just before the start of the rainy season) when midday temperaturescan reach 39°C (102°F). The coolest period is in December with day time temperatures in the high 20s low 30s on most days and dropping lower in evenings and early mornings. Boracay's weather tends to dictate the travel agenda for visitors. The high season is in the dry months however Boracay resorts are harder to get in this period, more expensive and the island is busier.
A better time to travel therefore is often outside the peak periods. Rain showers tend to be very heavy but are short in duration, often at night or mornings leaving most of the day for getting around. The dry season sees visitors mostly concentrated on White Beach and the opposing Bulabog Beach which, due to the winds has a very large international sporting reputation for kite-boarding and wind-surfing.

SUWANEE -- Police in Suwanee are warning residents to be aware of people who call and demand payments for warrants or tickets, purporting to be from the police department.
The scam, which has been reported around other areas of metro Atlanta, including in Roswell where recently a bogus member of the Fulton County Sheriff's Office made demands. Suwanee Police Capt. Cass Mooney said in the scam, a male caller identifies himself as a police officer and tells the resident they would be arrested if they don't immediately pay the fine with a credit card over the phone.
Mooney said to not give credit card or any personal information over the phone to someone who may say they're a representative of a police department or financial institution.
"We realize that such callers can sound convincing, offering a badge number, for example," Mooney said. "It's probably intimidating, too, for residents to get such a phone call. We want residents to be aware, though, that it's not us. Suwanee officers do not, and will not, contact residents about paying fines directly to the police department."
Residents who have received such phone calls should contact the Suwanee Police Department at 770-945-8995.

The Dagger
Aaron Craft wins home finale with scrappy play that defined Ohio State career
The Dagger3 hrs agoMichigan State hasn't produced a winning streak since mid-January. It's going to need one now if it wants to win the Big Ten Conference tournament or a national championship.
The 22nd-ranked Spartans traveled to Ohio State for the regular season finale Sunday looking to earn the No. 2 seed in the conference tournament playing only their third game with a full contingent of healthy players since December.
But the Spartans allowed Ohio State to dictate the pace of play and never were able to get out running often enough to earn a second straight victory after beating Iowa on Thursday. The Buckeyes took advantage behind gritty play of point guard Aaron Craft and earned a 69-67 victory.
Craft made two difference-making plays in the final minute that helped the unranked Buckeyes snap a two-game losing streak and enter the Big Ten tournament with some momentum.
Ticket Punched: Mercer gets revenge, ensuring there will be no Dunk City sequel
The Dagger4 hrs agoWhen Florida Gulf Coast captured the nation's heart by becoming the first No. 15 seed to reach the Sweet 16, it was easy to forget that the high-flying Eagles didn't even win their conference's regular season title.
Last year's Atlantic Sun champ was Mercer, which split a pair of regular season games with FGCU but lost the one that mattered most on its home floor in the conference tournament title game.
"We were happy for them because you want your league to do well, but at the same point, you're thinking, 'That could have been us,'" Mercer coach Bob Hoffman said Sunday. "But I think that fueled our guys. I don't think there's any team in the nation that worked harder on their game last spring than our guys did."
All Mercer's spring weightlifting and individual workouts proved worthwhile Sunday afternoon when the Bears enacted revenge on FGCU with a 68-60 win in the Atlantic Sun championship game. The victory secured Mercer's first NCAA tournament bid since 1985 and robbed the Eagles of the chance to try to replicate last March's memorable run.
Ticket Punched: Wichita State enters NCAA tournament with chance to make history
The Dagger5 hrs agoSixty-eight teams will have an opportunity to win a national championship once the NCAA tournament field is revealed next Sunday.
Only Wichita State will have the chance to make history.
By outlasting second-seeded Indiana State 83-69 in the Missouri Valley title game on Sunday afternoon, Wichita State becomes the first team to enter the NCAA tournament with a perfect record since UNLV in 1991. Only seven previous national champs have finished unbeaten, San Francisco in 1956, North Carolina in 1957, UCLA four times during the John Wooden dynasty and Indiana in 1976.
If the downside to being undefeated is that it could heap more pressure and attention on Wichita State than a team from a mid-major conference can handle, the upside is the chance for the Shockers to join the immortal teams on that list. In reality, the Shockers' accomplishment would be more remarkable in some ways considering none of those previous undefeated champs needed to win six NCAA tournament games, nor was there the level of parity in the sport that there is today.
Maryland topples No. 5 Virginia in overtime in final home game in ACC
The Dagger6 hrs agoNo. 5 Virginia won't carry the burden of a lengthy winning streak into the postseason.
Maryland's final home game as a member of the ACC turned into a thrill ride that ended with Terrapins fans spilling onto the court Sunday to celebrate a 75-69 overtime victory over the Cavaliers, who had won 13 straight.
Maryland nearly squandered the magical victory at the end of regulation when it allowed London Perrantes to feed Anthony Gill with a beautiful inbound pass underneath the basket for a short jumper that tied it up.(Check out the Loop below).
For a few minutes, it looked like the Cavaliers might escape and extend their winning streak to 14 games on the final day of the regular season. But Virginia scored only five points in overtime and missed four 3-point attempts in the final minute while Maryland relied on Seth Allen, who scored five of his 20 points in overtime. Maryland is moving to the Big Ten next season after playing in the ACC for 61 years.
Ticket Punched: Coastal Carolina wins Big South, avoids another near-miss
The Dagger8 hrs agoCoastal Carolina coach Cliff Ellis has experienced plenty of heartache in the Big South tournament the past few years, so he took no chances even with a comfortable lead in Sunday's title game.
When Winthrop sank back-to-back threes to pull within 10 with five minutes to play, Ellis immediately called timeout to calm down his team.
Thankfully for Ellis, Winthrop never managed to mount a serious charge. Warren Gillis scored 22 points and Josh Cameron added 19 as Coastal Carolina routed the Eagles 76-61, securing its first NCAA tournament bid since 1993 after a series of recent near-misses.
In 2010, Coastal Carolina won 28 games but lost to Winthrop in Big South title game. In 2011, Coastal Carolina won 28 games again but again fell one win shy of an NCAA bid. And in 2012, the Chanticleers upset LSU and Clemson in November and entered league play as a heavy favorite before roster attrition short-circuited a once-promising season.
San Diego State claims Mountain West title with stirring rally to beat Lobos
The Dagger20 hrs agoSan Diego State capped a fun final Saturday of the regular season in college basketball with a remarkable rally to steal the Mountain West Conference title from New Mexico.
Coach Steve Fisher used a 1-3-1 zone and relied on senior guard Xavier Thames to lead the way to a 51-48 triumph in the final home game of his career. Thames was the only Aztec to score in double figures, registering 23 points and he celebrated the championship with teammates and hundreds of his fellow students who stormed the court.
Thames' fellow senior Josh Davis grabbed nine rebounds and he and Thames combined to for eight steals, several of which played a big part in the rally.
The Aztecs scored just five points in almost 9 full minutes to start the second half and found themselves trailing by 16. But in the final 11 minutes, 5 seconds, San Diego State outscored the Lobos 26-7 and three of those points from the Lobos came on a meaningless last-second 3-pointer.
Jabari Parker lays waste to North Carolina, helps Duke avenge previous loss
The Dagger21 hrs agoFifty-two seconds into the second half of Saturday night's rivalry game between Duke and North Carolina, Amile Jefferson drew a fourth foul on James Michael McAdoo and pointed directly at the Tar Heels forward.
Jefferson wanted to be sure referees didn't give the foul to anyone else because he knew how big it was to send McAdoo to the bench.
The Duke forward was right to take no chances because the fourth foul on McAdoo was the turning point in the Blue Devils' 93-81 victory. Whatever slim chance North Carolina had of at least holding Jabari Parker in check vanished the second McAdoo went to the bench.
Parker finished with a season-high 30 points and 11 rebounds, much of which came while McAdoo sat on the bench in foul trouble. Nine of Parker's points came in the final five minutes of the first half after he drew a third foul on McAdoo. Ten more points came in the 11-minute second-half stretch after McAdoo picked up his fourth.
Doug McDermott joins 3,000-point club with 45 against Providence
The Dagger22 hrs agoThousands of college basketball players dream of the leading role in this script. Only a rare talent actually gets to live it. Creighton senior Doug McDermott, the likely Player of the Year in college basketball, left little doubt he deserves the honor Saturday night by making his final home game one of the most memorable and historic of a legendary career. McDermott scored a career-best 45 points and became the eighth player in history to eclipse the 3,000-point mark while moving into seventh place on the NCAA career scoring list. Oh by the way, he led the Bluejays to a 88-73 triumph over Providence. The classic performance came in front of 18,888, the largest crowd in Creighton history on a day when a local newspaper columnist for the Omaha World-Herald suggested the school should commission a statue in McDermott's honor. "It's about as good as it gets man," McDermott said in his postgame interview with CBS on the court before senior day ceremonies began. "I couldn't dream of anything like this. Just a surreal moment with so many great fans. We've got a long ways to go though." McDermott passed former Cincinnati star Oscar Robertson and former Bradley standout Hersey Hawkins on the career scoring list. He now has 3,009 career points in 140 games, the second most games played among the top-10 scorers on the list. He is 49 points behind former St. Peter's star Keydren Clark and 57 points away from moving into fifth place, surpassing Harry Kelly of Texas Southern. "Doug has had a flair for the big games his entire career and I can't think of a more fitting way for him to end a really great career here at Creighton than the way he played tonight," Creighton coach and Doug's father Greg McDermott said. Doug McDermott broke the 3,000-point mark midway through the second half with a deep 3-point shot. He said he was aware he was two points shy of 3,000 at the time because he saw his total on the scoreboard.
Ticket Punched: Eastern Kentucky's 3-point barrage topples Belmont
The Dagger23 hrs agoThe temptation to pick perennial tease Belmont to spring an NCAA tournament upset won't be an issue this March.
Third-seeded Eastern Kentucky made sure of that Saturday night by upsetting the top-seeded Bruins 79-73 in the Ohio Valley Conference title game.
Guard Corey Walden scored 29 points and backcourt-mate Glenn Cosey tallied 23 as Eastern Kentucky held off a second-half charge from Belmont and clinched its first NCAA tournament bid since 2007. The Colonels had to beat talented Southeast Missouri State and league power Murray State on back-to-back nights just to earn a shot at the Bruins.
If anyone suggested that avoiding Murray State might be a good break for Belmont (24-9, 14-2), they were probably selling Eastern Kentucky (24-9, 11-5) short. Not only were the Colonels the preseason favorite to win the OVC, their array of athletic guards also proved they were a tough matchup for Belmont when the Colonels and Bruins split a pair of regular season games.
Former Kentucky guard Doron Lamb critical of Wildcats on Twitter
The Dagger1 day agoFormer Kentucky guard Doron Lamb isn't happy with how his college team is playing of late, especially following Saturday's poor showing at Florida in the regular season finale.
Lamb, a guard for the Orlando Magic these days, took to Twitter to share of few comments following the Wildcats' 84-65 loss to the SEC champion Gators. Considering Lamb is living and working in Orlando these days, it's safe to assume he's getting his share of grief about the under-achieving Wildcats in Gator country.
U can't lose by 19 on CBS
UK should have prac 2nite
The Wildcats lost three of their final four to end the regular season and haven't scored more than 70 points in a game decided in regulation since Feb. 4. The SEC is littered with mediocrity this season and at 22-9 overall and 12-6 in conference play, Kentucky is still somehow in a second-place tie with Georgia or Lamb might be even more distressed.
The Wildcats are still loaded with talent and could turn things around in the postseason. Maybe Lamb is thinking being called out by a former national champion from the school will help that happen.

The Brewers have gone 5-4 in their last nine games. If they go 5-4 in every nine game stretch through the end of the season they'll finish with 83 wins. That's probably not going to be enough to get it done.
They'll get a chance to pick up the pace tonight and gain some ground in the NL Central with Yovani Gallardo (4.22 ERA, 4.06 FIP) on the mound. Gallardo is having a pretty fascinating stretch lately: He's pitched a quality start in nine of his last ten outings, but he's met the bare minimum criteria for that classification several times over that stretch. Wednesday's start was a good example of that, as he allowed three runs on seven hits over 6.2 innings with two walks and seven strikeouts.
After allowing six home runs in his first eleven starts this season, Gallardo has allowed six more in four starts in June. If he allows a home run tonight it'll be the first time he's ever allowed one in five straight starts. He'd be the second Brewer to have a streak that long in 2012, joining Marco Estrada.
Gallardo beat the Reds at home on May 8, allowing two runs on four hits over six innings with two walks and eight strikeouts. Seven Reds have faced Gallardo ten or more times, and the numbers are pretty scary:
Player | PA | AVG | OBP | SLG | OPS |
Brandon Phillips | 33 | .286 | .355 | .500 | .855 |
Joey Votto | 29 | .348 | .448 | .652 | 1.100 |
Jay Bruce | 22 | .450 | .500 | .750 | 1.250 |
Scott Rolen | 17 | .438 | .471 | .750 | 1.221 |
Ryan Ludwick | 16 | .308 | .438 | .769 | 1.207 |
Ryan Hanigan | 12 | .273 | .333 | .364 | .697 |
Willie Harris | 10 | .250 | .400 | .375 | .775 |
He'll face Mat Latos (5.20 ERA, 4.96 FIP), who is not pitching well in his first season after being the Reds' biggest offseason acquisition. The 24-year-old righty has already allowed 16 home runs in 2012, matching the number he allowed in both 2010 and 2011. He's allowed five or more runs in three of his last five starts and gave up seven runs over four innings against the Indians on Monday.
As you may have known, Petco Park in San Diego is a pitchers' park and Great American Ball Park in Cincinnati is certainly not. That probably explains why Latos' home run rate has more than doubled from 0.74 last season to 1.81 per nine innings in 2012. He's also striking out less than eight batters per nine, though, after striking out 9.2 in 2010 and 8.6 in 2011. He throws a low-to-mid 90's fastball with a fair number of sliders, some curves and the occasional changeup.
Latos has faced the Brewers twice in his career, but this is the first time in 2012. No current Brewers have faced him ten times or more, but Aramis Ramirez is 4-for-8 against him with a pair of doubles, and Rickie Weeks is 4-for-6 with a pair of home runs. Yovani Gallardo also has a home run against him.
As of this writing I haven't seen tonight's Brewer lineup. If you have, please drop it in the comments.
Here's the bullpen situation:
Jose Veras pitched one inning (28 pitches) yesterday, and also pitched on Saturday.
Francisco Rodriguez pitched .2 innings (13 pitches) yesterday.
Manny Parra pitched .1 innings (13 pitches) yesterday.
Tim Dillard pitched one inning (23 pitches) Saturday.
Kameron Loe pitched .2 innings (18 pitches) Saturday.
Livan Hernandez and Mike McClendon are the new co-Dillards.
It's going to be a beautiful night for baseball in Cincinnati, with temperatures in the upper 70's and no rain in the forecast.

February 15, 2013
By Dan Namowitz
When Dianna Stanger held up a trophy as a member of the "Racing Aces" flight team that won the 2012 Air Race Classic in a Cirrus SR22, she voiced two resolves for the coming year: prepare for the 2013 race, and continue her advocacy for women's advancement in aviation.
A key element of that advocacy, she and her 2012 teammate Victoria Holt told AOPA, was to make scholarships and education funding available to girls who otherwise might find the door to an aviation career path closed. They cited FAA data showing that only 7 percent of pilots are women, a percentage that has not budged "in nearly a century," they said.
That may start to change as a new generation, including university student Whitney Brouwer, sets their sights on becoming aviation professionals.
On Feb. 1, the Racing Aces presented Brouwer, a senior flight science major at LeTourneau University, with a $5,000 scholarship at the school's Abbott Aviation Center at East Texas Regional Airport in Longview, Texas.
Brouwer, of Raymond, Minn., earned her private pilot certificate in August 2010, and has logged more than 250 flight hours, said a news release on the award. She works with the university's flight team and at a local flight service business. Brouwer also is working toward certification as an airframe and powerplant mechanic.
This year, when Calhoun County Airport-based Stanger returns to racing, it will be with a new teammate, Joyce Wilson, a veteran of three Air Race Classics, with the pair racing as the " Xxtreme Aviatrixx" team.
Topics Air Racing, Events, Scholarship, Pilot Training and Certification
BendixKing has announced that it will end product support for its myWingMan electronic flight bag iPad app.
Able Flight has received and $8,000 check from the AOPA Foundation.
March 7, 2014 ePilot Training Tip: 'Arrival or through flight'
AOPA thanks our members for their continued support in protecting the freedom to fly.

I'm not much for television, meaning I don't sit down every night to watch it, but there are some things I like. We all got hooked on Ghosthunters when they first came on and still like watching them since they try to disprove there is anything going on so the things they do get that are odd make you wonder (not long, but until the commercial break is over anyway ). I have to say though my favorite of the ghost hunting shows has to be Ghost Adventures with Zach Baggins. They get locked in to haunted buildings then run around acting like morons until dawn getting 'possessed' willy nilly nor do they ever fail to get disembodied voices on their recorders. They are three of the biggest idiots on television and I love to watch them.

I'm not much for TV either. I have local news playing while I'm getting ready for work in the mornings. Have re-runs of NCIS playing after work while cooking dinner because I have a crush on Mark Harmon's character (Gibbs ). Saturday mornings I sometimes have a couple of food network shows running while I organize my weekend. I'm really pretty boring.

We have Verizon basic. Our community makes a group buy each year with the cable provider that gives us the best deal.
Verizon has a couple of stations that I like.
One is MeTV, 'Memorable Televison' and the other one is 'Antenna TV'.
All oldies. Some even in the original kinescope B&W.

Does anyone else think "Duck Dynasty" has lost its freshness. I've watched the newest shows and they are only sporadically interesting. And I'm a big fan! Maybe the Robertsons should close it up and retire back to West Monroe, knowing how we appreciate their example and their influence.

Anybody seen House of Cards? I am watching it on Netflix and I read the article on lucianne.com site today from I believe Natl Review about it. It is entertaining and nice to watch with no commercials. Kevin Spacey's character is a real wheeler dealer (his wife too ) and I love how he talks to the camera about what he really feels or will do.

I starting watching The Good Wife and I loved it. I watched seasons 1-5 and now I have to wait for the next episodes. Season 1-4 was free in Amazon with Prime. I bought season 5 because I was completely hooked. Now I am watching The Guardian, about lawyers again, I like it, it is nice to watch TV while I knit.
Downton Abbey is my favorite, but we have a long wait for the next season.

I love Downton Abbey. It is a wonderful show, it is amazing how well we know the characters. The "verbal exchanges" between Countess Violet and Isobel are a lot of fun.
I also enjoy "The Good Wife". I was thinking of Midsomer Murders but have not watched it yet.

I always think Sherlock should be played by an actor who is bit annoying so except for the Basil Rathbone/Nigel Bruce films I like the Sherlock who can be a real pain. My problem with Downton Abbey is that I just want to slap the girls for being so stupid.

Slap the girls? How about Cora and her ever-present simper. The cow-eyes are so tiresome. She's supposed to be an American and Shirley MacLaine is her mother, for goodness sake! Where's the fire, the independence? Maybe Shirley MacLaine will slap her for me.

Oh, you are
spot-on, Storm! Cora's ''simper'' is just so annoying! And how clueless is she that she cannot deduce Edith (AKA: Jan Brady ) is preggers?
Instead of simpering her way through Life, I would by far prefer to see Cora be an American, stand up, and kick Robert's ever-so-stupid behind from Downton all the way to York. Seriously, he almost drove the family into financial ruin and then after Matthew's death had the complete and utter gall to state that
should run the estate because he was ''looking out for George's best interest''.
Really, Robert? You blow Cora's millions and believe you should have controlling interest in more money?
Yeah, I don't think so.

Okay have a question. We are finishing up watching the Soprano's from season 1-6 and next we can either watch Downton Abbey or Breaking Bad.
Do you think Buzz would enjoy DA? I adore things like that but don't want to foist it on him if it isn't a "guy thing."

Mr. Notabene refused to watch it with me the first time I was watching it. I thought he would like it so when I was watching it for the second time I told him to watch it with me, to at least try one episode. He complained a bit and said it was a chick flick but on the first episode he was hooked. He has watched the four seasons, enjoyed them and is now looking forward to next year for season 5.
My advice is to try it with Buzz, he might like it. It is very well done.

If Buzz is enjoying
The Sopranos
he would probably prefer watching
Breaking Bad
or even
Sons of Anarchy.
Downton Abbey
is a soap opera - it's well-written and performed on before a luscious backdrop but it's still a soap opera.
If Mr Cranky Pants liked
, he would probably like
Downton Abbey.

Sometimes they have to watch a soap opera for their own good. It is nice to watch these programs together so we can comment on them.
Nu is right but you will not know if he does not try it. I am happy I made Mr. NotaBene watch it with me.

Those verbal duels are the best on the series. If I were Isobel, however, I might be inclined to slam a door more often. I read a review of last Sunday's episode in the Daily Beast this morning, the reviewer hoping that Bates is going to be killed off (or otherwise disposed of ) in the last episode. The critic really, really doesn't like the Bates character.

Bates grates on my nerves, especially when he tortured Anna about her initial favoritism of Greene; Bates suspects Greene but he thought it was okay to chide Anna? That's a colossal display of cruelty.
Bates made Anna's rape all about himself and she wound up expending a grotesque amount of emotional energy worrying about his feelings and subsequently her worth to him. ''Your husband's a brooder.'' Forget that, Anna; your husband's a self-absorbed maniac.
Are we witnessing a new team of Mosley and Baxter? Could Barrow be loosing his grip on whatever hold he has over Baxter?
Things that make you go, ''Hmmmmmm''.

Isn't tomorrow's episode the end of this season? There are a LOT of loose ends to tidy up, so we can be sure many of them will remain messy. I'm tired of Mary's romantic quandaries and Edith's desperation. Mary got away with the dead Turk in her bed, so I'm not sure why Edith's pregnancy is supposed to be a moral problem in the family.
I like Bates, with his barely controlled simmer, but I'm not sure what he sees in Anna. Bates needs a strong woman, not a dishrag. [raising hand].

Yeah, this is the season finale, more's the pity. Isobel's independence is far more attractive than Cora's insipidness. Perhaps Isobel will land Dr Clarkson - I believe Julian Fellowes has someone in mind for her ... maybe the peer.
Will Daisy quit the Abbey and move to her father-in-law's farm? He's such a sweet old chap and he treats her like gold. I think she and Alfred will eventually get together, perhaps at the end of the series when Alfred is a famous chef and she runs the farm.
Dang it! I'm just going to have to get all four seasons on DVD to get my Downton fix!

Nu, I have them all and love watching them again and again. You can watch the first three seasons in Amazon streaming, they are free if you have Amazon Prime. We will have the 4th season soon as it was already shown on TV.
At the moment they are filming season 5. Fellows said he is not sure there will be a 6. I hope we can continue watching more episodes of this great series. I love it!

Watched the movie "Last Vegas" last night, it was really funny. Mary Steenburgen was in it and it took me awhile to recognize her. The men are aging way better than she is.

Steenburgen is one of those actresses I have to look past the politics. When I can do that, she's fine. I liked her a lot in "Cross Creek" which was an all time favorite book in my younger days.

I think this week's episode of "Downton Abbey" (episode 6 ) was one of the best this season. Maybe my favorite part was Lady Mary's baptism by muck in the glories of pig farming. And also every scene involving Maggie Smith's dowager and cousin Isabel nursing her through her illness. MS's droll delivery and timing was the equivalent of a master's class in comic acting.

I told you that a couple of Maggie Smith's scenes were laugh out loud funny in this episode. Cousin Isabel can be insufferable, I agree. I think I'll watch it again while I have lunch.

Ok, help! I just watched Episode 5 from Season 4 of Downton Abbey. It's Monday morning and the episode played last night. When it was over, I followed my usual habit of reading the recap the Washington Post. Well. The recap/review in the Post bore no resemblance to the episode I had watched. There was nothing in my Episode 5 about the letter opener, Alfred getting the hotel job, the return of Moseley or a surprise birthday party.
The Episode 5 I watched (from February 2 ) included Lord Grantham's trip to America, Edith's futile visit with Lady Rosalind to a shady doctor in London, Lady Mary getting grubby with the pigs, the Duchess sniping at saintly Isobel's nursing, the rapist reappearing at the servant's dinner table.
I haven't missed any episodes? Rich? anyone?

Whoa, Storm, you definitely are an episode ahead of us!! I watched it last night at its regular time (no way I was sticking with the Super Bowl ), so I saw the episode that your Washington Post recapper described, including the solution of the letter-opener mystery, the surprise party, Alfred departing, Moseley getting rehired, etc. That one has to be Episode 5.
I think you posted the other day that you watch online -- seems like your online source linked to next week's episode (i.e., Episode 6 ) prematurely. If you get "on demand" as part of your cable package, you can probably retrieve the real Episode 5 under the PBS "on demand" selections. Or check out the schedule of your local PBS channels. They usually re-show the Sunday night program a couple of times during the following week -- sometimes in the afternoon, sometimes in the evening. One way or another it should be possible for you to recover the missing "chapter."

Me again. I decided to check out the "on demand" menu on my tv, and linked to episode 5 (i.e., last night's episode ) of DA -- when you do that, you usually get a brief description of what the episode is about, and I have to say the description I just read for episode 5 seems a bit out of synch with the actual episode I watched -- so maybe the PBS on demand and online feeds are both showing the wrong episode, one week too early. That means you should check out your local channels for rebroadcasts over the next six days. I know for sure in these parts they re-show the previous week's episode at 8pm on Sunday just before the new one comes on at 9 -- that may in fact be part of the nationwide PBS schedule.

Well, I'm relieved that I haven't lost my mind. I watch those episodes on PBS, Rich, at the Downton Abbey page. This morning's episode was labeled Episode 5. Thanks for your tips for retrieving the one I missed. I hope I didn't spill too many beans in my original post. I really do want to know about the letter opener!
Oh, and one more tip about the ahead-of-time-episode I saw. There is one spot where Maggie Smith had me laughing out loud. You'll know when you see the episode next week.

It's now 2:32 Texas time and the Downton Abbey mixup has been resolved. Maybe someone got fired at PBS for running the wrong episode earlier, but the real Episode 5 is now ready for viewing. I will watch it with my very late lunch.

Never see much about listening to classical music here but just had to post this. TV is not great and sorry I am not a football person so I put the TV on WEDU-PBS and there was a wonderful surprise. The All-Star Orchestra was performing Daphnis and Chloe. When that was finished they played The Firebird Suite. The bassoon portions of the Firebird are magnificent.

John Oktavec likes to say that he leaves his body when he paints pictures on window screens. In the after-dinner quiet of his Pasadena home, Oktavec brushes color on a wire screen. "Painting takes you away, at least for awhile," he says. "I have a way to escape, and, when I'm done, I have something beautiful."
As Oktavec paints, he also sails back in time, to the foot of Broadway and a lost planet known as the Summer of 1978.
He sees himself as a teenager, walking the cobblestones with his screen painter dad Richard Oktavec. Father and son buy a fat bag of western fries from Bair Brothers chicken stall at Broadway Market and walk down to the seawall to watch tugboats churn past the Domino Sugars sign.
And in his heart, two decades removed from the memory, the 43-year-old is happy.
Why 1978?
Because Richard Oktavec, the link between the man who launched screen painting in Baltimore and the one working to keep it vital today, would be dead by 1979. "I learned a lot from my Dad," says John, who dropped out of the 11th grade not long after his father died.
Besides painted screens, John learned stained glass, gold leaf, and hand lettering from his father. Did the kid hang out with his old man to fathom the tricks of those trades?
"I just wanted to be near him," says John.
What the Peale family was to historical portraiture in postcolonial Maryland, the Oktavec family is to painted screens in Baltimore. More people have likely seen an original Oktavec in a rowhouse window than an authentic Peale of the Founding Fathers.
William Oktavec, John's grandfather, was a Czech immigrant who came to this country in 1909 and settled in the St. Wenceslaus neighborhood near Johns Hopkins Hospital, an area once called Swampoodle.
Sometime in 1913, William reckoned that if he painted the window screens of his grocery store it would shield his produce from the sun. He copied pictures of red roofed bungalows and pastoral scenes of gliding swans and paths winding through the pines from calendars and greeting cards.
Companies around the country sold "decorative" screens in the 19th century, but it was Oktavec who spread the idea through Baltimore and spread it big. The grocery gave way to Oktavec's Art Shop, and William taught his sons the trade along with others who lived around the North East Market, like the storied "half-man" Johnny Eck-star of the 1932 film Freaks-who lived a couple blocks from the Oktavec store.
Before long, people outside the family were imitating the work. You could get a dollar or more per screen if you were good, and painters like Alonzo Park would go door to door and bar to bar trading art for a couple bucks and a cold beer. By the mid-20th century, there were some 100,000 painted screens in the city.
The idyllic red bungalow became the image most often associated with the art form. To some extent, that's still true. "I teach the old fashioned bungalow," says Tom Lipka, one of the reigning screen swamis who teaches classes around town. "But after some people take two or three classes, they want to do something harder."
Painting an out-in-the-country red bungalow on a window screen seems to be the equivalent of a young rock and roll band mangling Chuck Berry chords: the foundation for all that follows.
John Oktavec paints the red bungalow to honor his lineage and because people still ask for it. But it's not who he is. "The old school is always inside of me, but advancement needs to be projected," he says. "I like skulls and flames and lightning. One of my favorite screens was Dale Earnhardt's car on the NASCAR infield."
On more than 800 screens, Oktavec has painted just about everything: deceased dogs for their bereaved owners, scenes from Star Wars, Frankenstein's monster, old gas stations reminiscent of Edward Hopper, and pigs riding Harleys. "I haven't done people on screens," he says. "Too hard to get the skin tone right."
If Oktavec is comfortable with the situation (not always the case), he'll paint anything for anybody. And if he takes a shine to you, he may not even charge you.
It's not all about the money for Oktavec, who works at an Arbutus sign shop-it's about creating something. After all, this is a guy who makes radio-controlled robots from old Weber grills. "With all the art in the world, it's impossible for me to stick to one medium," he explains.
Besides screens, he also paints on walls, canvases, the bottoms of bushel baskets, and even the gas tanks of motorcycles-"everything from large murals to detailing model railroads," he says. The body of a '75 Maverick sitting in his driveway may be next.
Oktavec relishes the fact that he gets paid a pretty penny to teach the fine points of screen painting, sometimes to art teachers, years after failing high school art.
"Me!" he cries, tickled pink. "The guy who used to get his hands smacked with rulers in school."
This summer, he'll turn out another 25 to 50 screens in between his other passions, and people will drive by and buy them right out of the windows. "They go like hot cakes," he says.
He likes it best when an old timer stops by and says: "I remember your father."
On the weekend of May 9 and 10, Baltimore will remember just about everyone who ever threw paint at a window screen. That weekend, the American Visionary Arts Museum (AVAM) will host a gathering of screen painters from hill and dale.
A tribute to Johnny Eck, including a showing of Freaks, is slated for the night of May 10 at the Creative Alliance in Highlandtown, an area with a strong history of painted screens.
The two-day celebration-which also includes an auction to benefit the Painted Screen Society, exhibitions of screen paintings, and workshops for beginners-was organized by Elaine Eff, the Baltimore folklorist who is to painted screens what the surgeon Ben Carson is to twins joined at the head: the unchallenged expert.
"It's not outsider art, it's outside art!" she proclaims. "Our biggest interest is seeing these screens in windows where they belong."
Eff laments the steep decline in painted screens displayed on Baltimore rowhouses, where they were long prized for illusion and utility. These days, screen paintings are more likely to hang inside houses, where they're displayed as bonafide art objects.
When Eff's documentary film The Screen Painters was released in 1988, the city had about 7,000 decorated window screens. Although the film led to a reappraisal of a see-it-every-day-art that was long taken for granted, the numbers continued to go down.
Today, says Eff, the total is "close to one thousand." Next year, she hopes to go block by block with a posse of volunteers-"We'll get Boy Scouts to help!"-to get a hard number of how many screens remain and who still paints them.
"There were a few left in Pigtown when I was growing up," says John Elliott V, a 39-year-old native of South Carey Street. "I remember a deer in a forest painted on a screen. I always wondered what a deer and trees were doing near the corner of Carroll and Ostend."
It was an elk, says Eff, and probably done by Ben Richardson, the six-fingered artist and fiddler whose story is one of many told in the documentary, which will be shown at AVAM during the festival.
The film played repeatedly on PBS and helped push the medium beyond the Beltway. Eff suspects the film sent William Oktavec's brainstorm into the studios of artists who'd never eaten a real crab cake. "We used to know everybody who painted screens," says Eff, who acknowledges that that's no longer possible.
And with each new sensibility, whether generational or geographical, the red bungalow fades deeper into the past. When Eff says that the new wave is "not your grandmother's window screens," she means that it would never have occurred to your working-class forebears to decorate their house with an image of the house itself, as the current residents of Canton and Federal Hill often do.
And certainly your grandmother would not wear a corset made from a painted screen.
Jenny Campbell, an artist who grew up in Essex and comes from a family with roots along O'Donnell Street, tried doing traditional screens at first, "but it wasn't me," she says.
The 43-year-old charges commissions starting at $400 for a painted screen (to hang on a wall instead of in a window) of whatever the customer wants, be it their $600,000 townhouse or the Bromo Seltzer Tower, as she did for a relative of someone who had worked on the tower's clock. And it would be the rare white Baltimore resident of the 1940's and 1950's who'd have a painted screen of Billie Holiday marking their house.
Campbell specializes in clothing made out of painted fiberglass screen. While old hands Dee Herget and Tom Lipka hold "master" classes at the gala on how to paint traditional screens, Campbell may host a workshop on how to make "wearable" screens. "I don't sell the clothes I make out of screen, they're just for me," says Campbell, who may let you get close enough at the AVAM fete to notice that her corset is actually a very pliable screen painted to look like a corset.
At the opening reception at AVAM, a crowd will gather around a pair of make-believe rowhouses outfitted with screens from a range of artists. Above sets of faux white marble steps will be jewels of the Oktavecs: screens by William, his sons Richard and Albert, and young John.
(But nothing by Richard's widow Marlene, who earned her G.E.D. the same time John did and, while not a decorator of screens, was known to do a paint-by-numbers Jesus when the mood hit.)
While folks admire a painted screen door from the old Oktavec Art Shop, which survived the 1968 riots when other stores in the area didn't, the great Johnny O., prime contender to become the next "King of the Screen Painters"-the guy Elaine Eff says is "as good as it gets"-will be miles away.
John Oktavec, you see, never goes into the city anymore. He suffers attacks of anxiety if his regular routine of going to work and coming home and making art is upended. It seems he subscribes to the philosophy of another sensitive artist named Don Van Vliet: "The way I keep in touch with the world is very gingerly because the world touches too hard."
So instead of schmoozing it up at AVAM, John will be safe at home, turning out another gem of the very thing the schmoozers are making a fuss about. He'll also probably polish off a plate of supermarket pierogi with sour cream and sauerkraut.
"I'd love to exchange notes with other artists, get opinions on paint and brushes and stuff like that," he says. "But the chances of me being there are about the same as Darth Vader giving a charity check to the Little Sisters of the Poor."

Metro State Prof Investigated For Palin Assignment
DENVER (CBS4) ― Metro State College is investigating a professor who asked students to write an essay critical of Republican vice presidential candidate Gov. Sarah Palin. One student said the instructor singled out Republican students in the class and allowed others to ridicule them.
"I was shocked, I was holy cow, this is just an open door for him to discuss politics with us," said Jana Barber, a student in the class. Barber shared the first class assignment with CBS4 Wednesday. Instructor Andrew Hallam asked students to write an essay to contradict what he called the 'fairy tale image of Palin' presented at the Republican National Convention.
"What the faculty's responsibility is to provide opportunity for critical thinking and civic engagement so bringing something of relevancy into the classroom was the faculty's goal," said Cathy Lucas, spokeswoman for Metro State. "Should he have broadened it and included all the political figures, yes."
Metro State officials are investigating claims of bias, harassment and bullying. Barber and another student appeared on KOA's Mike Rosen talk show Thursday to discuss the issue. Metro State College Professor Norm Provizer said Thursday the issue has moved well behind whether or not the assignment was appropriate. Provizer calls it a political firestorm now.

NY trains damaged at NJ Transit flooded yard
'Terrific partner'
There were 261 rail cars and 62 locomotives, mostly owned by NJ Transit, damaged when the Hoboken and Kearny yards flooded.
Metro-North had damage to 11 rail cars in Harmon, N.Y., apart from those kept on NJ Transit property, Anders said. She said Metro-North moved some of its equipment in other areas where there was a flooding risk.
Asked if Metro-North had discussed the status of the MTA equipment prior to the storm, Anders said, "Metro-North had frequent contact with all our partners … before, during and after the storm. Each railroad made decisions about its own operation based on its unique knowledge and past experiences. Metro-North was concentrating on its own preparations in the lead-up to the storm and did not presume to tell NJT what to do." She called NJ Transit a "terrific partner."
NJ Transit has provided service on the Port Jervis and Pascack Valley lines since 1983. The Pascack Valley line starts in Spring Valley in Rockland County, while the Port Jervis line begins in Port Jervis in Orange County.

Born in Texas on June 20, 1925, Audie Murphy eventually became the most decorated U.S. soldier in World War II. Though he was only 21 years old at the end of the war, he had killed 240 German soldiers, had been wounded three times, and had earned 33 awards and medals. After the war, he appeared in more than 40 films. He suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder throughout his life.
Early Life
Born in Kingston, Hunt County, Texas, on June 20, 1925, Audie Murphy was raised in a sharecropper's dilapidated house. Murphy's father, Emit, fell short on his parental responsibilities, continuing to father children, 12 in all, despite that fact that he had no plan for how to feed them. Picking up the slack, Murphy helped feed his mother and siblings by hunting rabbits and other small animals around their property.
In 1940, Murphy's father deserted the family for good, and his mother passed away a year later. Moved to do something to honor his mother's life, Murphy enlisted in the military 10 days after his 18th birthday. In February 1943, he left for North Africa, where he received extensive training.
Military Career
A few months later, Murphy's division moved to invade Sicily. His actions on the ground impressed his superior officers and they quickly promoted him to corporal. While fighting in the wet mountains of Italy, Murphy contracted malaria. Despite such setbacks, he continually distinguished himself in battle.
In August 1944, Murphy's division moved to southern France as part of Operation Dragoon. It was there that his best friend, Lattie Tipton, was lured into the open and killed by a German soldier pretending to surrender. Enraged by this act, Murphy charged and killed the Germans that had just killed his friend. He then commandeered the German's machine gun and grenades and attacked several more nearby positions, killing all of the German soldiers there. Murphy was awarded the Distinguished Service Cross for his actions.
Over the course of World War II, Murphy witnessed the deaths of hundreds of fellow and enemy soldiers. Endowed with great courage in the face of these horrors, he was awarded 33 U.S. military medals, including three Purple Hearts and one Medal of Honor.
In June 1945, Murphy returned home from Europe a hero and was greeted with parades and elaborate banquets. LIFE magazine honored the brave, baby-faced soldier by putting him on the cover of its July 16, 1945 issue. That photograph inspired actor James Cagney to call Murphy and invite him to Hollywood to begin an acting career. Despite his celebrity, however, Murphy struggled for years to gain recognition.

In 1949, Murphy published his autobiography, To Hell and Back. The book quickly became a national bestseller, and in 1955, after much inner debate, he decided to portray himself in the film version of his book. The movie was a hit and held Universal Studio's record as its highest-grossing motion picture until 1975. Murphy would go on to make 44 feature films in all.
