Hook is a 1991 American fantasy adventure film directed by Steven Spielberg and written by James V. Hart and Malia Scotch Marmo. It stars Robin Williams as Peter Pan/Peter Banning, Dustin Hoffman as the titular character of Captain Hook, Julia Roberts as Tinker Bell, Bob Hoskins as Smee, Maggie Smith as Granny Wendy, Caroline Goodall as Moira Banning, and Charlie Korsmo as Jack Banning. The film acts as a sequel to J. M. Barrie's 1911 novel Peter and Wendy, focusing on a grown-up Peter Pan who has forgotten his childhood. Now known as Peter Banning he is a successful corporate lawyer with a wife and two children. Hook kidnaps his children, and Peter must return to Neverland and reclaim his youthful spirit in order to challenge his old enemy.
Spielberg began developing the film in the early 1980s with Walt Disney Productions and Paramount Pictures, which would have followed the storyline seen in the 1924 silent film and 1953 animated film. Peter Pan entered pre-production in 1985, but Spielberg abandoned the project. James V. Hart developed the script with director Nick Castle and TriStar Pictures before Spielberg decided to direct in 1989. Hook was shot almost entirely on sound stages at Sony Pictures Studios in Culver City, California. Although it received mostly negative reviews by critics, it became a box office success and it was nominated for multiple categories at the 64th Academy Awards. It also spawned merchandise, including video games, action figures and comic book adaptations.
Peter Banning (Robin Williams) is a successful corporate lawyer whose relationship with his family—especially his two young children Jack (Charlie Korsmo) and Maggie (Amber Scott)—is strained by continuous absences and broken promises. His wife Moira (Caroline Goodall) struggles to keep them together and grows frustrated with Peter for his callous behavior. The family flies to London to visit Moira's grandmother, Wendy Darling (Maggie Smith), who helped Peter find a family when he was a young orphan.
Upon arrival, they meet an elderly gentleman who has "lost his marbles", Tootles (Arthur Malet), Wendy's first orphan. Peter, Moira, and Wendy attend a ceremony for the expansion of Wendy's orphanage. While they are out, his children are kidnapped, with a dagger bearing a note signed by "Captain Hook" flung into their bedroom door. Wendy tells Peter that he is in fact Peter Pan and that his old enemy has returned and taken his children for revenge, but he fails to remember anything. Tinker Bell (Julia Roberts) appears before Peter that night, knocks him unconscious and flies him to a pirate port in Neverland. There he awakens in disbelief, and is discovered by Captain Hook (Dustin Hoffman) and his second in command, Smee (Bob Hoskins), who threaten the children unless he accepts Hook's challenge to a duel. Tinker Bell intervenes and is granted three days in which to prepare him for it.
The Lost Boys, now led by Peter's successor, Rufio (Dante Basco), at first dismiss him as an old man who has no hope of regaining his former glory, but he begins to learn the magic of Neverland. Meanwhile, Hook tries to turn Peter's own children against him in the hopes they will stay in Neverland permanently. Maggie immediately mistrusts Hook and he realizes that she still believes in Peter in spite of his broken promises and continues to hold her hostage. However, Hook uses Jack's frustration over his father's continuous broken promises to steal his affection, and gains his trust during a baseball game he organizes for Jack with the other pirates. Peter is heartbroken when he sees Hook treating Jack like a son, and becomes determined to win his family back. The pirates, however, do trigger a moment of doubt in Jack due to their unfamiliarity of baseball, mistakingly cheer by shouting "Run home, Jack" (when they intended to shout for a home run), causing Jack to remember his sister yelling "run home, Jack!" Back home, Peter recalls his own childhood leading up to his friendship with Wendy; how he often visited her and took trips to Neverland until one day Wendy says she can no longer go to Neverland due to her responsibilities of running a family; Peter is disappointed, but sees Wendy's granddaughter and eventually marries her. Finally Peter realizes what his happy thought is: becoming a father.
Peter regains the leadership of the Lost Boys and they challenge Hook and his pirates in an all-out battle. When he learns that Hook has turned Jack against him, Peter must win back his son's trust in him. He rescues Maggie from the other pirates and promises that he'll be more attentive as a father. Meanwhile, Hook and Rufio valiantly fight in a sword fight and Hook stabs Rufio, killing him. Before dying, Rufio tells Peter he wishes that he had a father like him in his life. Watching Rufio die breaks Jack's heart and seeing how much Peter cared for the Lost Boy allows him to regain his trust in his father. Peter and Hook engage in a climactic sword fight. Hook is killed when the crocodile, now a massive clock tower, falls on him. Peter is now set to return to London with Jack and Maggie, but first designates the largest member of the Lost Boys, Thud Butt (Raushan Hammond), as leader of the Lost Boys in his absence. Peter also tells all the Lost Boys to take care of everybody smaller than him, and promises them all he will never forget them again.
Returning home, Peter finally realizes the love he has for his family and the importance of having a youthful heart. Tootles, a former Lost Boy, is dismayed at missing the adventure, but discovers pixie dust in his bag of lost marbles and uses it to go flying around London and back to Neverland. Wendy remarks to Peter that his adventures are now over, but Peter says to live would be an awfully great adventure.

J. M. Barrie considered writing a story in which Peter Pan grew up; his 1920 notes for the latest stage revival of Peter Pan included possible titles for another play: The Man Who Couldn't Grow Up or The Old Age of Peter Pan.[2] The genesis of Hook started when director Steven Spielberg's mother often read him Peter and Wendy as a bedtime story. Spielberg explained in 1985, "When I was eleven years old I actually directed the story during a school production. I have always felt like Peter Pan. I still feel like Peter Pan. It has been very hard for me to grow up, I'm a victim of the Peter Pan syndrome."[3]
In the early 1980s, with Walt Disney Pictures, Spielberg began to develop the film which would have closely followed the storyline of the 1924 silent film and 1953 animated film.[4] He also considered directing Peter Pan as a musical with Michael Jackson in the lead.[5] Jackson expressed interest in the part, but was not interested in Spielberg's vision of an adult Peter Pan who had forgotten about his past.[6] The project was taken to Paramount Pictures, where James V. Hart wrote the first script with Dustin Hoffman already cast as Captain Hook.[5] Peter Pan entered pre-production in 1985 for filming to begin at sound stages in England. Elliot Scott had been hired as production designer.[4] With the birth of his first son, Max, in 1985, Spielberg decided to drop out. "I decided not to make Peter Pan when I had my first child," Spielberg commented. "I didn't want to go to London and have seven kids on wires in front of blue screens. I wanted to be home as a dad."[5] Around this time, Spielberg considered directing Big, which carried similar motifs and themes with Peter Pan.[5] In 1987, Spielberg "permanently abandoned" Peter Pan, feeling he expressed his childhood and adult themes in Empire of the Sun.[7]
Meanwhile, Paramount and Hart moved forward on production with Nick Castle as director. Hart began to work on a new storyline when his son, Jake, showed his family a drawing. "We asked Jake what it was and he said it was a crocodile eating Captain Hook, but that the crocodile really didn't eat him, he got away," Hart reflected. "As it happens, I had been trying to crack Peter Pan for years, but I didn't just want to do a remake. So I went, 'Wow. Hook is not dead. The crocodile is. We've all been fooled'. In 1986 our family was having dinner and Jake said, 'Daddy, did Peter Pan ever grow up?' My immediate response was, 'No, of course not'. And Jake said, 'But what if he did?' I realized that Peter did grow up, just like all of us baby boomers who are now in our forties. I patterned him after several of my friends on Wall Street, where the pirates wear three-piece suits and ride in limos."[8]
By 1989, Ian Rathbone changed the title of Peter Pan to Hook, and took it from Paramount to TriStar Pictures, headed by Mike Medavoy, who was Spielberg's first talent agent. Robin Williams signed on, but Williams and Hoffman had creative differences with Castle. Medavoy saw Hook as a vehicle for Spielberg and Castle was dismissed, but paid a $500,000 settlement.[8] Spielberg briefly worked together with Hart to rewrite the script[4] before hiring Malia Scotch Marmo to rewrite Captain Hook's dialog and Carrie Fisher for Tinker Bell's dialog. The Writers Guild of America gave Hart and Marmo screenplay credit, while Hart and Castle were credited with story. Fisher went uncredited. Filming began on February 19, 1991, occupying nine sound stages at Sony Pictures Studios in Culver City, California.[1] Stage 30 housed the Neverland Lost Boys playground, while Stage 10 supplied Captain Hook's ship cabin. Hidden hydraulics were installed to rock the setpiece to simulate a swaying ship, but the filmmakers found the movement distracted the dialogue, so the idea was dropped.[9]
Stage 27 housed the full-sized pirate ship Jolly Roger and the surrounding Pirate Wharf.[9] Industrial Light & Magic provided the visual effects sequences, this would also prove the introduction of Tony Swatton's career as he would be asked to make weaponry for the film. Hook was financed by Amblin Entertainment and TriStar Pictures, with TriStar distributing the film. Impressed with his work on Cats, Spielberg brought John Napier as a "visual consultant". The original production budget was set at $48 million, but ended up between $60–80 million.[1][10] This was also largely contributed by the shooting schedule, which ran 40 days over its original 76 day schedule. Spielberg explained, "It was all my fault. I began to work at a slower pace than I usually do."[10] He also found it difficult to work with Julia Roberts, who was suffering from a mental disorder after her breakup with Dylan McDermott.[4]
Spielberg found close personal connection to the film. The troubled relationship between Peter and his son echoed Spielberg's relationship with his father. Previous films of Spielberg that explored a diminishing father-son relationship included E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial and Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. Peter Banning's "quest for success" paralleled Spielberg starting out as a film director and transforming into a Hollywood business magnate. This led to Spielberg's divorce from Amy Irving, which would possibly lead to Banning's relationship with his family.[11] "I think a lot of people today are losing their imagination because they are work-driven. They are so self-involved with work and success and arriving at the next plateau that children and family almost become incidental. I have even experienced it myself when I have been on a very tough shoot and I've not seen my kids except on weekends. They ask for my time and I can't give it to them because I'm working."[4] Similar to Peter Banning at the beginning of Hook, Spielberg also has a fear of flying. He feels that Peter Pan's "enduring quality" in the storyline is simply to fly. "Anytime anything flies, whether it's Superman, Batman, or E.T., it's got to be a tip of the hat to Peter Pan," Spielberg reflected. "Peter Pan was the first time I saw anybody fly. Before I saw Superman, before I saw Batman, and of course before I saw any superheroes, my first memory of anybody flying is in Peter Pan."[4]

John Williams chronology | ||||
The film score was composed by John Williams. Williams was bought in at an early stage when Spielberg was considering making the film as a musical. Accordingly, Williams wrote around eight songs for the project at this stage. The idea was later abandoned. Most of Williams's song ideas were incorporated into the instrumental score, though two songs survive as songs in the finished film -- "We Don't Wanna Grow Up" and "When You're Alone", both with lyrics by Leslie Bricusse.
The original 1991 issue was released by Epic Records. In 2012, a limited edition of the soundtrack, called Hook: Expanded Original Motion Picture Soundtrack, was released by La-La Land Records and Sony Music. It contains almost the complete score with alternates and unused material. It also contains liner notes that explain the film's production and score recording.

Spielberg, Williams and Hoffman did not take salaries for the film. Their deal called for the trio to split 40% of TriStar Pictures' gross revenues. They were to receive $20 million from the first $50 million in gross theatrical film rentals, with TriStar keeping the next $70 million in rentals before the three resumed receiving their percentage.[1] Hook was released in North America on December 11, 1991, earning $13.52 million in its opening weekend. The film went on to gross $119.65 million in North America and $181.2 million in foreign countries, accumulating a worldwide total of $300.85 million.[14] It is the fifth highest-grossing "pirate-themed" film, behind all four films in the Pirates of the Caribbean film series.[15] In North America totals, Hook was the sixth highest-grossing film in 1991,[16] and fourth highest-grossing worldwide.[17] While Hook ended up making a profit of $50 million for the studio, it was still declared a financial disappointment.[18]
Film critics gave Hook generally mixed to negative reviews. As of May 2013, review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes reports that 31% of critics have given the film a positive review, based on 39 reviews, certifying it "Rotten", with an average rating of 4.4/10.[19] Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times wrote that the "failure in Hook was its inability to re-imagine the material, to find something new, fresh or urgent to do with the Peter Pan myth. Lacking that, Spielberg should simply have remade the original story, straight, for the '90s generation."[20] Peter Travers of Rolling Stone magazine felt Hook would "only appeal to the baby boomer generation" and highly criticized the sword-fighting choreography.[21] Vincent Canby of The New York Times felt the story structure was not well balanced, feeling Spielberg depended too much on art direction.[22] Hal Hinson of The Washington Post was one of few who gave the film a positive review. Hinson elaborated on crucial themes of children, adulthood and loss of innocence. However, he observed that Spielberg "was stuck too much in a theme park world".[23]
Hook was nominated for five categories at the 64th Academy Awards. This included Best Production Design (Norman Garwood, Garrett Lewis) (lost to Bugsy), Best Costume Design (lost to Bugsy), Best Visual Effects (lost to Terminator 2: Judgment Day), Best Makeup (lost to Terminator 2: Judgment Day) and Best Original Song ("When You're Alone", lost to Beauty and the Beast).[24] Hook lost the Saturn Award for Best Fantasy Film to Aladdin, in which Robin Williams co-starred,[25] while cinematographer Dean Cundey was nominated for his work by the American Society of Cinematographers.[26] Dustin Hoffman was nominated for the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor – Motion Picture Musical or Comedy (lost to Robin Williams for The Fisher King).[27] John Williams was given a Grammy Award nomination for Best Score Soundtrack for Visual Media;[28] Julia Roberts received a Golden Raspberry Award nomination for Worst Supporting Actress (lost to Sean Young as the dead twin in A Kiss Before Dying).[29]
In a 2011 interview with Entertainment Weekly, Spielberg talked about what he thought worked and what didn't work: "There are parts of Hook I love. I'm really proud of my work right up through Peter being hauled off in the parachute out the window, heading for Neverland. I'm a little less proud of the Neverland sequences, because I'm uncomfortable with that highly stylized world that today, of course, I would probably have done with live-action character work inside a completely digital set. But we didn't have the technology to do it then, and my imagination only went as far as building physical sets and trying to paint trees blue and red."[30] Spielberg gave a more blunt assessment in a 2013 radio show appearance: "I wanna see Hook again because I so don't like that movie, and I'm hoping someday I'll see it again and perhaps like some of it."[31]
Video games[edit]
Several video games based on the film and bearing the same name were released between 1991 and 1993. An Arcade beat 'em up produced by Japanese company Irem was released in 1992, that allowed for single player and co-operative gameplay between four players. The player(s) can select to play as Peter Pan or one of four Lost Boys. A side-scrolling home console game was also released in 1992 for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES), Sega CD, Sega Genesis and the handheld Sega Game Gear. The game was originally developed by Ukiyotei for the SNES before being ported by Core Design (Sega CD and Sega Genesis) and Spidersoft (Game Gear). All versions were published by Sony Imagesoft. The Sega CD version received a European release in 1993. The adult Peter Banning is the only playable character. The game received generally positive reviews.[citation needed]
Another side-scrolling platformer was released in 1992 for the NES and Nintendo Game Boy. The game was developed by Ocean Software and published by Sony Imagesoft. Ocean Software also developed and published a separate point and click adventure game in 1991 for the Commodore 64 and Amiga followed by Atari ST and PC versions in 1992. The game's main objective was to escape the Pirate City, reach the Lost Boys' hideout and try to become Peter Pan in order to fight once more with Captain Hook.

Dynamic Health Organic Certified Mangosteen Juice Blend -- 33.8 fl oz
Love it!
I have tried a few brands of both pure mangosteen juice and juice blends. This is my favorite and I feel the best using it! I am not sure why the reviewer says they don't use the outer part.. the ingredients say Whole.I prefer organic products especially to avoid pesticides.
October 27, 2012
Love it!
I love this juice - it tastes great & it's very nutritious! Really nice deal - recommended!
May 4, 2008
Look for better deal
This product claims to be organic certified. So? As far as I can tell no use of the outer rind of the mangosteen fruit is utilized which greatly reduces xanthone levels. this seems to merely be a lightweight blend of several juices that are potent if properly produced. For just a few dollars more you can get a superior product - Mango Xan. I wouldn't waste my $s on this product.
January 31, 2008
Juice blend, not %100 Mangosteen
If your getting mangosteen for medicinal purposes this is not the one to get because of it being a blended juice.
Also if your not a big fan of black cherry juice I would not suggest it, this over powers it a bit.
If your just looking for organic juice with antioxidants for part of a snack on the go then you will be ordering the right one.

Also, Mark talks about the minimum wage debate and how the unions are taking advantage of their members and that there is not outcry over it. Finally, Mark discusses Syria and questions the motives of the Assad regime if they gassed their own people, and what President Obama's foreign policy is. Why are we getting involved in the Syrian civil war?

"Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants."-Michael Pollen-
Summer Salad
Yah, I said it. I said perfect. This combo is sort of a home run. No, it's totally a home run. I love this salad. It doesn't matter how hot it is outside or how many beaches you've been to because it's just not summer until watermelon gets involved.
In whatever amounts you'd like, you'll need:
radish (optional)
red onion, chopped or sliced
mint, sliced or torn
chives, chopped
salt & black pepper
* I listed the ingredients in order of amount used, starting with the most prominent ingredient
You just cut the first four ingredients into rough one inch cubes, assemble them in any rectangular pattern you enjoy, sprinkle the herbs and red onion on top and finish with salt and pepper.

In times of crisis, it has always been relatively easy to place the blame for "our" problems on "them"—the people who are not like "us." During such times Jews and other minorities have been vulnerable not for what they actually were like, what they actually did, or even what they actually believed but for what "we" imagined "they" were like, did, or believed. And rulers, generals, preachers, rabble-rousers, and disgruntled neighbors have long known how easy it is to get a crowd going simply by shouting "the Jews are to blame!"

According to the experts, there was very little or nothing particularly new at the 2011 Consumer Electronics Show. Well, pooh on you, you jaded roosters – I found it plenty fascinating.
It's not just the whole tablet thing, although there's more than enough variation to keep us occupied for at least another year. We've got tablets that slide out and tablets that dock in, tablets that swivel and flip and connect. (Heck, I wouldn't be surprised if next year they came up with a tablet that could dance.) But aside from all the tablets, and the obvious implications for readers on the digital book market, one thing struck me in general: The In Death reality is a lot closer than I thought.
For those who aren't familiar with J.D. Robb's In Death series, it depicts a world fifty years in the future, where there are autochefs and robot servants, handheld audio/visual communication devices, lots of synthetic foods, weird and wacky cars; in short, everything that could be touched by technology has been touched, and possibly enhanced.

Undercover Shopping: Testing Holiday Promises
Let's be honest, there's nothing more frustrating than battling holiday traffic, then fighting the crowds inside the store, only to wait in long lines to check out. A number of retailers hope to offer some relief by allowing shoppers purchase online and pick up at the store, cutting down wait times, at least in theory.
This year Sears is making the 5 minute pick-up promise. If you make a purchase online and drive to the store, they'll have the item loaded in your car within a surprisingly short 5 minute window. Even on Black Friday.
Best Buy and Walmart also offer in-store pickup, though with no time guarantee. So who beat the clock?
We went online and ordered the Nintendo Sports Console from each retailer.
(Read More: 10 Must-Have Videogames This Holiday Season.)
The clock started the moment we clicked buy, and stopped when we were notified the console was ready for pick-up.
Wal-Mart sent us a "ready for pick up" email in 41 minutes. Sears shot us an email for pick up in just 8 minutes. But after an hour and 15 minutes, there was still no notification from Best Buy. Though when we checked the order status online it said "ready."
Clear winner in round one: Sears.
Now for round two, the actual store pickup.
The clock started when we handed over the receipt and stopped when we got the console in our hand.
Sears claims it will get you in and out fast, promoting the "5 minute promise."
At the Jersey City location, there's a kiosk inside to scan the confirmation email. The 5 minute clock starts ticking. We're out the door 1 minute and 44 seconds later. The 5 minute promise achieved.
Wal-Mart makes no pick-up time promise, but we started the clock running after presenting the receipt at the store in Secaucus, NJ. We had the console in hand after just 2 minutes and 5 seconds.
There are no guarantees on speed at Best Buy either. But, we handed over the receipt, and we got the console just 1 minute and 48 seconds later
Sears won again, by 4 seconds.
We should point out that we did these tests before Black Friday, and there is a human element involved, so experiences and time will likely vary from store to store, maybe even region to region. But at least so far, retailers are passing our tests.
Now we'll test the return policies … I don't need three Blu Ray players and three Nintendo Sports Consoles!

This is my second transaction with immtbiker. The amp was exactly as described. Communication was perfect and he shipped quickly. It was a pleasure dealing with Aaron again. I highly recommend him as a seller. Thanks Aaron.
What an amazing seller, fair priced and shipped extremely fast.
I would not hesitate to buy from him again in the future.
An awesome person and easy to get along with which always helps :-)
Aaron was excellent to deal with. He communicated well and shipped quickly. Packaging was first class also. I highly recommend immtbiker.
This was an excellent transaction from start to finish. Aaron was very responsive and helpful, and answered the questions I had about the headphones. They arrived quickly; were just as described; and were packed incredibly securely.
One of the easiest transactions I've had online. Shipped and arrived much quicker than expected, in absolutely perfect condition and packaging. Could not be happier, I would definitely do business again!
Very good communication and experience with immtbiker, who is a reliable seller.
All around a fantastic transaction. Communication was fast and clear. Shipped quickly, and did a great job making sure it got here safe! Couldn't say enough about the deal, wish all could be as great!
Polite, fast response, good value (with a aftermarket cable), and shipped on next day. Also he provide lots of information and advice base on the item on sale and beyond.
Item arrived as described. Very helpful, and I can not be any happier.
Bought a pair of HE-500 from immtbiker. Item was dispatched quickly and arrived in great condition. Recommended seller!
I met up with Aaron in a local sale. Communication was good throughout with him explaining everything throughout the process. I definitely would not hesitate to deal with again! Thanks
The listing and communication were a spot-on honest reflection of the amp that I took out of the box. After running the unit through my Nano for a few days, I am equally satisfied with the performance. Thanks for a fantastic untaportable experience!
Aaron provided excellent communication and fast payment. Aaron also went out of his way to help with advice on other equipment the seller was considering. An extremely positive transaction. Recommend this buyer A+++
As a new member I was hesitant in sending a large sum of money to someone on the other side of the world. Thankfully, Aaron was a true gentleman throughout the whole process, and I received the item in the condition described. Highly recommended.
Item: SOLD:- AKG-K1000's
Absolutely perfect transaction in every way - communication, packing, and of course the actual item being exactly as described. As good as it gets.

Creative play is much more fun for kids when friends and siblings can join in! This 4-Station Art Center encourages kids to be creative while interacting with others.
This 4-Station Art Center by Jonti Craft acts as a creativity island where four or more kids can work at once and let their imaginations run wild. The kids' easel offers plenty of storage between the easels and on shelves beneath. The two-sided easels are removable so you can easily set them on a table and use the base as a shelving unit. Paper clips and paint trays are included to keep art supplies organized. This children's art station is made from sturdy birch plywood with a natural finish that goes with any decor. The natural colored KYDZTuff finish is an environmentally friendly coating and is as tough as the lanes of a bowling alley. It is able to stand up to tough cleaning chemicals like bleach and paint thinner, and allows you to wipe permanent marker off with ease! Another great feature of this finish is it prevents yellowing, preserving the attractive natural look of this art center. Features eleven-ply Baltic birch plywood, the strongest plywood in the world, with piles laid cross-ways to make each board strong and prevent expanding and contracting during seasonal weather changes. Dowel-pin construction prevents weakening at the joints where most stress occurs and extends the product's lifetime by 50%.
Proudly made in the USA!

College opens Hilker Campus Mall
The center of Morningside College's campus will bustle with activity this summer as Sioux City area residents enjoy music and theater events in a new outdoor performance center, stroll by a two-tier fountain and admire the views from an elegant pergola.
All of this is part of the new Hilker Campus Mall just completed in the heart of Morningside's campus. The college will dedicate the mall on Thursday, May 8, with an invitation-only reception, dinner and concert performance.
A gift from Dr. Robert R. J. Hilker, a 1938 Morningside graduate, and his wife Mary, both of Vero Beach, Fla., made construction of the Hilker Campus Mall possible. Dr. Hilker, who was raised and received his early education in Paullina, Iowa, served as a member of the Morningside College Board of Directors from 1971 to 1980.
"The Hilker Campus Mall is the latest in a series of significant upgrades and additions to our campus that were made possible by tremendous support from our board of directors, alumni, friends, faculty and staff," said Morningside President John Reynders. "We have a beautiful, student-friendly campus that provides an environment conducive to living and learning."
The new pedestrian mall and green space starts at the back of Lewis Hall, extends south past the Hickman-Johnson-Furrow Learning Center and terminates at a parking lot off of Garretson Avenue near Eppley Auditorium. Work started in 2007 on the $4.2 million mall project, which includes three new outdoor gathering spaces: the Buhler Outdoor Performance Center, the Lieder Family Fountain and the Kline Family Pergola.
Anchoring the south end of the mall is the Buhler Outdoor Performance Center. Lucy Buhler of Edmonds, Wash., a 1956 Morningside music education graduate and a member of the college's board of directors, helped fund construction of the open air, amphitheater-style performance center through a gift from the Walter A. Buhler Educational Trust. The outdoor performance center serves as home for the Betty Ling Tsang Summer Fine Arts Series. The series is named for the late Betty Ling Tsang, who graduated from Morningside in 1940 with a music degree. The premiere season of the series begins in June with four music and theater productions scheduled during the summer. All performances are free to the public.
The Kline Family Pergola and the Lieder Family Fountain also enhance the Hilker Campus Mall and provide additional campus locations for outdoor classes and study and for small group gatherings. Frances Kline of Naples, Fla., a 1995 Morningside graduate and former member of the college's board of directors, and her late husband Marvin donated funding for construction of the pergola. The Rev. Lyle and Betty Lieder of Rochester, Minn., made the naming gift for the Lieder Family Fountain. Rev. Lieder served as a vice president at Morningside College and as pastor of several Methodist churches during his 41-year career. All five of the Lieder's children are Morningside graduates. Their daughter Deborah Kiesey, a 1973 Morningside graduate, is a member of the college's board of directors.

WASHINGTON, May 18, 2013 (AFP) - The hunt for an HIV vaccine has gobbled up $8 billion in the past decade, and the failure of the most recent efficacy trial has delivered yet another setback to 26 years of efforts.With the next attempts expected to be years away, top researchers now say there is a "void" or a "gap" in current clinical trial efforts to test whether a vaccine may be safe and effective in people.A kind of ongoing autopsy of the last four major bids to make an HIV vaccine has informed the field as to what does not work, with the latest casualty being a trial called HVTN 505 that was halted early because it did not prevent HIV."It leaves us with a gap in several years before we have another HIV vaccine efficacy trial under way, and that is unfortunate," said James Kublin, executive director of the HIV Vaccine Trials Network.Another concern for researchers is that two vaccine trials -- HVTN 505 and a previous trial known as STEP that ended unsuccessfully in 2007 -- both revealed apparent increases in the number of vaccinated patients who got HIV.HVTN 505 showed 41 cases of HIV were acquired in the vaccine group, compared to 31 in the placebo group. Among some 2,500 participants, the difference was not statistically significant, and so researchers found that no harm was caused by the trial."But the number is in the wrong direction," said trial leader Scott Hammer, who described the trial's outcome as a "disappointment."Researchers are still investigating why this may have happened, but some theorize the cold virus known as Ad5 that served as a vector to deliver the vaccine may have somehow caused more infections by making it easier for HIV to penetrate the body."You scratch your head," said Hammer, a professor of medicine at Columbia University, adding that Ad5 may now be considered too risky and other options are being investigated."No one is going to want to a do a major trial with this sort of vector in the future," he told AFP.The key puzzle in the vaccine search has been the nature of the human immunodeficiency virus itself, which has managed to fool modern medicine by changing its genetic makeup so often that a single weapon cannot silence it."The virus is a very elusive foe," said Wayne Koff, chief scientific officer at the International AIDS Vaccine Initiative (IAVI)."It is more variable than almost any other virus that a vaccine has been attempted for. So if one wants to make antibodies against a virus that is variable, one has to have a broadly reactive antibody," he told AFP.A small number of HIV-positive people have been found to produce antibodies that can neutralize a broad range of HIV variants, but scientists have not yet figured out how to make a vaccine from that information."Lots of people are working on that very hard. I would have thought we would have that immunogen to test in phase I trials by now, but hopefully soon," said Hammer, a leading HIV researcher.About 34 million people are infected with HIV worldwide, and AIDS has killed 30 million people since the epidemic began 30 years ago.The vaccine field has fallen short of expectations since 1984, when Margaret Heckler, who was then US secretary of Health and Human Services, declared a vaccine would be ready for testing in about two years' time.The first phase I trial of a vaccine began in 1987 at the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Maryland, and included 138 healthy volunteers. The first large-scale trials did not begin until the late 1990s.The sole success story to date has been a trial in Thailand known as RV144, which in 2009 saw a modest, 31 percent rate of protection, still far below the 50 percent threshold needed in order to license a vaccine.Researchers are continuing to study the results for clues as to why it worked in some cases but not others, and why it appears the protective effects may have waned over time.A similar vaccine modeled for South Africans is expected to enter human trials in the next couple of years. Other approaches for increasing T-cell immunity are also on the horizon."I am an optimist. I think we are at least halfway there, hopefully further," said Hammer. "The world needs an HIV vaccine."

This was the best ice cream I've ever had. It was a hot day and this was locally made, unique flavors, well worth the price (and the calories)
This was the best ice cream I've ever had. It was a hot day and this was locally made, unique flavors, well worth the price (and the calories)
The menu in this basic ice cream and coffee shop doesn't have this concoction on the menu, but I'd highly recommend it: basic vanilla ice cream with a double shot of espresso in a cup. It was the perfect way to end a spectacular day of Door County sightseeing. The young man who made the combination for me accepted the... More
Friendly , good ice cream but nothing real special. Busy. There are at least 3 ice cream places in busy Fish Creek. This was our choice.
I asked for a banana split to go and I had to supply the banana. The banana split was good and there are many good ice cream choices.
We stopped for scoops of ice cream right after the Fish Creek Fireworks this past Saturday night... so glad they were open and the ice cream & shakes were yummy!
The shop is placed in a cute quiet area of the Founders Square. The atmosphere is cozy and friendly and so are the staff. They were great guys and gave generous scoops. Great flavor selections and delicious ice cream!
Nice selection of flavors. Tables inside and out. You MUST check out the chocolate cherry amoretto ice cream -- whole cherries and chunks of chocolate. Unreal!
The ice cream was good, service was quick and friendly. It helped being located just opposite our B&B, the Whistling Swan, as well. After going to the hyped-up Wilson's in Ephraim, Dippy's won out as far as a relaxed atmosphere and great ice cream.
My family has been going to Dippy's for years. Can't get any better ice cream in Fish Creek. The selection is great. So much fun to get a cone and sit outside and people watch or strike up a conversation. I highly recommend this place for good old fashion ice cream.

Hi and Welcome to the Forums
Posted 15 March 2013 - 10:02 AM
Hello. Too every one, I have a focus st2 now that I have had for 3 years but as I am turning 45 next month I have decided to grow up and become an adult so tomorrow I pick up my brand new fiesta titanium 1.0l have had great fun in the st but with tax,fuel and insurance on the increase it time to say goodbye,anyway just thought I'd say hello
Welcome to the forum Dave,
Happy birthday in advance and sorry to read the news about the ST2, surprised to see an ST driver moving to a N/A engine, I would have though somthing with a turbo would have been chosen instead, but the titanium spec is a lovely motor,
How has the ST2 behaved itself in your four years of ownership?
When you get a moment join photobucket and upload some images of your ST and your new motor,
You can then edit to remove your reg plate etc. Then copy the .img code from each image uploaded and paste it on to a post in the forum or many forums for the image to display.
You may also like to log on to DMB Graphics for some Gel badge overlays to fit over your existing blue ford badges or vintage ford decals:

JOHNSON COUNTY– Imagine starting school without a pencil or a package of markers like all of the other kids have. For some children in Johnson County, the first day of school is yet another reminder that they don't have all the tools they need to succeed. Forever Green Garden Center, 125 Forevergreen Rd., Coralville, will donate 10 percent of the proceeds from the sale of plants from Aug. 1-15 to ToGather Together to purchase school supplies for students in need in Johnson County.
My dad's father had died quite young of tuberculosis, soon after my dad graduated from high school. An immigrant from Norway, as a young man it seems he had been a bit of a dreamer; poetic, musical, a man who made violins as a hobby, and was the only photographer in the small Wisconsin town where my father grew up. He and my grandmother ran a grocery store with the help of their children. A large photo portrait of a handsome but sober-faced man was all I knew of my Grandpa Hanson.
This time of year Buzz, my 12-year-old hound, likes to spend the last few minutes of the night in the backyard barking at nothing in particular.

Kathleen "Kathy" Rios, 62, of Solon, died Tuesday, July 26, 2011, at UIHC following a brief illness. Funeral Services were Monday, Aug. 1, at Grace United Methodist Church in Tiffin with Rev. Bev. Marshall-Goodell officiating. Burial was at Oak Hill Cemetery in Tiffin. In lieu of flowers a memorial has been established. Kathy was born Dec. 31, 1948, in Iowa City, the daughter of Edmund "Ned" and Ada (Bowman) Langenberg. She was a 1967 graduate of Clear Creek High School. On April 6, 1974, Kathy married Henry Rios Jr. in Iowa City.
James Vincent Welsh, 84, of Williamsburg, passed away Sunday, July 24, 2011, surrounded by his children, from kidney failure at Marengo Memorial Hospital. He had been ill for several months. Funeral mass was held at St. Mary's Catholic Church in Williamsburg July 28, with burial following at St. Michael's Cemetery in Holbrook.
The Solon Public Library will be hosting a series of special events the week of Aug. 14-21 in honor of the library building's 10th anniversary.
SOLON– It took only a week for the members of the Solon City Council to decide against pursuing a recently-available Main Street location. After independently visiting the location, 100 W. Main St., and having the city engineer and building inspector do the same, council members determined renovation costs and other concerns have ruled out the building known as the "Candy Store" as a possible city hall site. After learning that estimated renovation costs could be as high as a half-million dollars, council members decided during a special session last week they would pass on the property.
SOLON– The city is willing to sign away five years of revenue, but not 10. At least that was the impression given after the Solon Retirement Village made application for 10 years of property tax reimbursement for the new Alzheimer's and skilled nursing additions which are currently under construction. At a July 19 city council meeting, Solon Retirement Village made formal application for Tax Increment Finance (TIF) assistance, seeking to have property taxes generated by the $2.9 million project reimbursed on a gradual scale over 10 years.

Vandersteen Tréo"Dimensional Purity"
"Dimensional Purity" is the promoted benefit of Richard Vandersteen's approach to speaker design, and in one of the two rooms I went into at RMAF organized by Fort Collins retailer The Audio Alternative, the Vandersteen Tréos ($5990/pair) were living up to that promise. Driven by an Audio Research Vsi60 integrated amplifier ($4495) with the source the Bryston BDP-1 digital player and BDA-1 DAC, all hooked up with AudioQuest cable, Mark Isham's Blue Sun reproduced with excellent bass extension and clarity and a laidback but detailed midrange.
