A message from Mrs Brown
Hello! I'm Agnes Brown and the BBC have given me my own show - the eejits!
Or let Brendan O'Carroll introduce you to the family
Let me introduce you to my family. Though I don't want to put you off the show... -
Mrs. Brown on... Cathy
Cathy is my only girl. She married some toe-rag in a register office in London but is divorced and home now.
Watch a clip featuring Cathy
She's studying to be a psychologist at night school, and works as a waitress during the day.
God love her she NEVER gets a real boyfriend, but she tries! -
Mrs Brown on... Dermot
Dermot has always given me more cause for worry than any of my other children. He went to a private school (recommended by a judge).
Watch a clip featuring Dermot
He is dating Maria Nicholson, but I can't see him ever getting married because that would split him from his best pal and sometimes prison mate, Buster Brady. -
Mrs Brown on... Maria
Maria Nicholson is Dermot's girlfriend. She's very posh, but still a nice girl.
Watch a clip featuring Maria -
Mrs Brown on... Mark
Mark is my eldest son. He took over the running of the family when his father died. He was just 13 years old (Mark, not his father).
He is the steady and sensible one of the family. -
Mrs Brown on... Betty
Betty is Mark's wife. She's not good enough for him if you ask me, but she did give birth to my beautiful grandson Bono four years ago.
Watch a clip featuring Betty -
Mrs Brown on... Rory
Rory is my 'delicate' son. He has always been a happy child, except he has no luck with women.
Watch a clip featuring Rory
I don't think Rory has ever had a girlfriend, which means he is either too busy playing the field or he hasn't met a girl that matches up to his mother! -
Mrs Brown on... Dino
Dino is Rory's best friend. Rory and Dino met at work, they are both stylists in Wash & Blow - Finglas's premier hair salon.
They are close, very close. You get the feeling that unless one of them gets a woman, neither will, if you know what I mean! -
Mrs Brown on... Granddad
Granddad is my father-in-law. When my husband "Redser" Brown died, he left me with nothing but this wrinkled old man! He eats, sleeps and moans.
Watch a clip featuring Granddad
Granddad is the cross God sent me to balance out the fact that he gave me such wonderful and beautiful children (and Cathy). -
Mrs Brown on... Winnie
When we were moved out of town from the tenements to Finglas, I met Winnie McGoogan for the first time. Winnie would not be the sharpest knife in the drawer, but she has been a good friend.
Watch a clip featuring Winnie
Her daughter Sharon and my Cathy grew up together, and are still great friends. Her husband Jacko has a bad back - if someone mentions work he can't get it off the bed! -
Mrs Brown on... Buster
Buster Brady is a lovable rogue. He's been Dermot's best friend since they were nippers.
Watch a clip featuring Buster
Buster's mother ran off just after he was born, and his father is a useless layabout. So for as long as I can remember, Buster has been hanging around my house.
He's kind of like the son I never wanted. -

Derek Smalls
Harry Shearer to Host San Rafael Screening of 'The Big Uneasy' Tonight
By Rossiter Drake on July 11, 2011 5:00 PM
You might know him as Derek Smalls, the hirsute Spinal Tap bassist who sets off metal detectors with the aluminum-wrapped cucumber he stores in the crotch of his pants. Or perhaps you know him better as one of the many voices he provides for TV's The Simpsons, including the reptilian mogul Montgomery Burns, his kowtowing assistant Waylon Smithers, or the aggressively upbeat Ned Flanders.

RISD's Largest-Ever International Gift
The Rhode Island School of Design has received $1 million from the parents of an alumna to fund visiting scholars in the painting department. The gift from Vikram and Geetanjali Kirloskar of Bangalore is the largest bequest from an international donor in RISD's history.
The Kirloskars say they were motivated to make the donation after their daughter, Manasi, graduated from RISD's painting department in 2012. The proud parents say they were so pleased with her experience as an undergraduate they wanted to find a way to show their gratitude.
RISD officials say they will use the money to create the school's first-ever endowment supporting visiting scholars and to ensure students' continued exposure to Indian art and culture.

MANSFIELD - Stephen C. Fertitta, 48, of 1029 Railway St., Williamsport, has been charged by state police with possession of drug paraphernalia in Tioga County.
According to documents filed with District Judge James Carlson's office, a glass marijuana pipe was found in Fertitta's vehicle Nov. 28 at a gas well site at 505 Spencer Road in Union Township.

For well over a decade, one of the most tumultuous in aviation history, and encompassing some 150,000 stories, 5000 Aero-Casts as well as nearly 1500 Aero-TV video features, the Aero-News Network has been the premier source for Real-Time, ground-breaking, honest, real-time aviation news.
When each exciting new generation of aviation news products and programs were released, over the last decade or so, it was Aero-News that brought them to fruition.
With our 24/7, Real-Time, coverage we have often been the first to bring you the hard-hitting stories that matter most to the Aviation World. With 'Airborne' Aero-News expanded its efforts to bring you aviation news in a new and exciting way with a synoptic weekly Newscast covering the top stories in aviation from the prior week, brought to you in a high-def (HD!) web/broadcast format.
Airborne regularly features guest appearances and commentary from some of Aviation's leading dignitaries, as well as some of Aero-News own familiar faces. Hosted by Ashley Hale and augmented by News-Editors Tom Patton, Glen Moyer, and Will Alibrandi, as well as Aero-News Editor-In-Chief, Jim Campbell; the ANN staff offers professional input, expertise and insight.
Each program features aggressive reporting, extensive B-Roll (compiled from ANN's five years of intensive video programming and archived footage), a number of guest news reporters, the occasional Skype or in-person video interview/analysis, a number of special Aero-Features geared to make Airborne LIVELY as well as informative, and the same slick, high-quality production values that have been our stock in trade (really) from day one. It's not just the usual web video with 20 minutes of 'talking head'… but truly engaging, news-packed, graphically enhanced, B-Roll-Rich, fast-paced Aero-News content and Aero-Analysis of lasting value to the aviation community.
ANN is already growing 'Airborne' programming with the expansion of the weekly news show to twice a week later this Spring, as well as the addition of a number of monthly and bi-monthly specialty editions focusing on the most exciting and news-worthy aspects of the aviation and aerospace world.
The first 'Airborne Special Edition' will focus on all things Avionics. Starting with regularly scheduled reports on the avionics industry, its products, companies and the regulatory environment; 'Airborne S.E. - Avionics Update' will work with the AEA and a number of other important partners in the aviation electronics industry to make sure that the world of avionics is reported on aggressively, accurately, and with Airborne's characteristic visual appeal and editorial professionalism.
An additional Airborne Special Edition project on the horizon will concentrate on the Airshow world and the extraordinary contribution that pivotal industry makes in keeping the best and brightest of the aviation world alive and exciting -- and visible to millions of people all over the world.
ANN is extending an invitation now to potential news partners and contributors that are willing to help us raise the bar (again) with unique, informative, content geared specifically to making sure that the most innovative industry in all of aviation, namely avionics, is covered with the kind of programming that reflects the unique position that this community has in the aviation and aerospace world.
Please contact ANN to see how you might benefit all of aviation by working with ANN's 'Airborne Special Edition - Avionics Update' -- the latest new programming initiative from the Aero-News Network - the aviation world's most comprehensive news and information resource.

On Tuesday, June 25, Gov. John Hickenlooper is scheduled to announce the North Fork Valley has been certified as a Creative District. The honor recognizes the skill and talent throughout the valley in Paonia, Hotchkiss, Crawford and stretching to Redlands Mesa.
The North Fork Valley was named an Emerging Creative District last year.
"It is with great joy that we announce that the North Fork Valley has been designated a Certified Creative District by the State of Colorado," began the Creative Coalition press release by Susie Kaldis, executive director of the North Fork Valley Creative Coalition.
"On May 24, the Creative Coalition submitted an application to Colorado Creative Industries, a division of the Office of Economic Development and International Trade, to be considered for the highest ranking of Certified Creative District. This application included an essay on 'What Creative District status means to us and why it's important for our valley,' as well as a three-year strategic plan and a promotional video."
The North Fork Valley Creative Coalition has been managing and administering the Emerging Creative District since April 2012. "We have worked diligently to develop our organizational foundation, create a sound network of creative practitioners and build community awareness of the Creative District program," Kaldis said.
Kaldis and other members of the Creative Coalition have been keeping the great news a secret since June 17. Kaldis attended the Rural Philanthropy Days in Ouray last week. At the opening dinner on Monday night, June 17, Margaret Hunt, executive director of Colorado Creative Industries, told Kaldis that "Yes, the North Fork Valley is now a Certified Creative District."
Kaldis wrote, "This distinction is incredibly important and beneficial for the North Fork Valley. By certifying the North Fork Valley as a Creative District, the State is affirming its confidence in the need for the creative industries as an economic driver for the North Fork's rural communities. The designation will assist the North Fork Valley in attracting visitors to experience the heritage of our small Western region while enjoying the wonder of its natural landscape and the talent of its artisans.
"Being a Creative District will draw attention to our local artists and the traditions that permeate our crafts and value-added agricultural products. In addition to having art that can be visited in galleries, studios or as present in our historic buildings in town, the North Fork Valley uniquely shares art that is tangible. Our art can be tasted, breathed and felt.
"The North Fork Valley is a rural area in Delta County, Colorado, that defines the direction resourceful rural communities will need to go in the 21st-century economy in order to cultivate their assets. The merging of arts and agriculture brings a 21st-century mentality to our region. Through innovation and inspiration, the North Fork Valley is leading the way for rural communities in the Colorado Creative Districts Program. Our towns, citizens, and visitors recognize the creative sector as a fundamental component of the economy and the charm that defines our valley.
"The North Fork Valley, along with the State of Colorado, recognizes that diversification of our industries is essential to a healthy economy, particularly in small towns. Also, we recognize that a community that is rich in arts, culture, and heritage is a thriving community where the quality of life is satisfying and the spirit of the people attracts visitors seeking a respite from their busy, chaotic day-to-day routines."
Arts and agritourism play a significant role in the North Fork Valley's tourism and economic development. Certification serves as a validation of that role for residents and visitors alike.
"Visitors to our area have the opportunity to take in our bountiful natural beauty, wide-open spaces, and expansive vistas. A quiet and slow pace of life welcomes visitors, inspires our artists, and makes this area a desirable place to live. Visitors have the opportunity to sink into the experience of daily life," Kaldis said. "In many ways, art is a way of life here, as people create most of the things they need to live a healthy abundant lifestyle.
"Our heritage in farming and agriculture, using clean air and water to grow our gardens and feed our families, is a tradition that is alive and prospering today. The culinary arts and wine industry are a thriving business that supports our creative sector and adds to our character as a tourist destination. The creative sector attracts creative entrepreneurs and artists to the community, which also strengthens tourism. Artists and artisans and numerous creative events are both an asset to, and expression of, the North Fork Valley culture and each of our three towns' own individual identities. Designation as a Certified Creative District strategically positions the North Fork Valley as a model for other regional efforts while advancing local recognition that together we are much greater than the sum of the individual."
Wendell Koontz, Hotchkiss mayor, commented, "The Town of Hotchkiss extends sincere congratulations to the North Fork Valley Creative District. The certification is well deserved as the North Fork Valley is home to many talented artisans, agrarians and craftsmen. The citizens of Hotchkiss and our local community benefit both economically and in quality of life from local venues such as The Creamery Arts Center. I look forward to having the North Fork Creative District foster both the arts and businesses in Hotchkiss."
Barbara Peterson, Paonia town clerk noted, "I love that the Creative Coalition received the official designation for the North Fork Valley of Certified Creative District. I believe that these efforts will ultimately help create a more diversified economic base, helping to create a more sustainable valley while supporting and celebrating our creative labors. We have an abundance and excellence of creative practitioners in the North Fork Valley. I applaud those who put this application forth and anticipate the fruits of those labors. Congratulations!"
Kelli Hepler of Delta County Tourism stated, "We at Delta County Tourism are thrilled with the official designation for the North Fork Valley Creative District. We applaud our creatives and how they express the unique nature of the North Fork Valley. This designation will help us promote the talents here and will provide an economic improvement for all."
Kaldis added, "On behalf of the North Fork Valley Creative Coalition, the organization administering the North Fork Valley Creative District, we are elated and grateful for the designation of Certified Creative District. Our thanks go out to our community, our town officials, the Boettcher Foundation, Colorado Creative Industries, and Governor Hickenlooper for recognizing our creative valley as a place where the creative industries are thriving and making an impact on our local economy."
Kaldis believes the designation will mean more statewide recognition of the quality products created in the North Fork Valley whether traditional art or value-added agriculture and craft brewing.
"We plan to do a marketing campaign to create a universal North Fork Valley brand sticker," Kaldis said.
On Thursday, June 27, at Paonia Town Park from 6-8 p.m., the public is invited to join the Creative Coalition in celebration of the new North Fork Valley Creative District. This is a potluck so bring a dish to share.

Final Guidance Issued on Nontraditional Mortgage Product Risks
October 2, 2006
Circular No. 11812 | |
To All Depository Institutions and Others Concerned The federal financial regulatory agencies have issued final guidance to address the risks posed by residential mortgage products that allow borrowers to defer repayment of principal and sometimes interest (Interagency Guidance on Nontraditional Mortgage Product Risks ). These products, referred to variously as "nontraditional," "alternative," or "exotic" mortgage loans (referred to below as nontraditional mortgage loans), include "interest-only" mortgages and "payment option" adjustable-rate mortgages. These products allow borrowers to exchange lower payments during an initial period for higher payments later. The final guidance discusses the importance of carefully managing the potential heightened risk levels created by these loans. The agencies are issuing for comment Proposed Illustrations of Consumer Information for Nontraditional Mortgage Products. Public comment is sought on all aspects of the proposed illustrations, including whether these illustrations or a modified form should be adopted by the agencies. Comments are due 60 days after publication in the Federal Register. The agencies are also issuing an addendum to the May 2005 Interagency Credit Risk Management Guidance for Home Equity Lending that provides additional guidance for managing risks associated with open-end home equity lines of credit (HELOCs) that contain interest-only features. These consumer protection recommendations are similar to the guidance contained in the Interagency Guidance on Nontraditional Mortgage Product Risks referenced above. Press release Public Information

Yes, both probabilities are zero.
In practice, creases are not infinitely thin so I think the probabliity is not 1/∞, but rather some very small fraction that depends on the paper etc.But if you were right about the 1/∞ and 5/∞ , these are both zero.(There have been many arguments about infinity related topics on MathIsFun, so you may have accidentally set them off again.) Bob
Say you have identical sheets of paper, and you take one sheet and make a random crease in that sheet of paper, what is the probability that if someone else folds a random crease in one of the other sheets that it will be the exact same crease. I figured it would be 1/infinity, but what If the second person was allowed to make 5 random creases in the second sheet what would the probability that 1 of those creases was identical to the original crease... 5/infinity?If so what is the difference between 1/infinity and 5/infinity?

Sponsored Deals
They're like ads, but good.
OK, yes, companies pay a little something to be Sponsored Deals. But we don't allow just any old crap in this section. Sponsored Deals are proposed to us by other retailers, manufacturers, and even other daily deal sites. If we find the deal compelling enough that our members will appreciate us bringing it to their attention, we'll feature it here. Believe it or not, we have a reputation to uphold. If your store would like to be considered for this space, please contact us for details. But if your deal is lame, or sketchy, no amount of money will let you buy your way in.
Community Deals
It's whatever you want it to be.
Pretty much, anyway. This is where you find the deals that wooters like you have ferreted out and brought to light. We're thinking it'll turn into a massive database of discounted products from around the Web, constantly expanding to absorb the newest deals from the very moment their prices are slashed, with each deal immediately rated by hordes of savvy voters to spotlight the very greatest deals in the world today. Hey, we can dream, right?
We use a fancy algorithm to determine which deals are catching the most buzz – they're under the Popular tab, which is the default view of this section. You can look for the most popular deals today, this week, or this month. The Fresh tab features the most recently submitted deals, so that's where to look for deals that everybody else doesn't know about yet. And the Search bar does what a Search bar does, only, uh, much wootier! Yeah! Right on!
Ask The Community
They probably won't bite.
Organic bullets? Vegetarian haggis? Cheap tickets to Antarctica? The best high-performance sweatsocks for under $100? If you're looking for a deal that doesn't appear to show up in our Community Deals section, throw the question to your fellow cheapskates. Or answer a question for one of your fellow cheapskates. Or vote for your favorite questions, or your favorite answers, or… maybe we should call this section "Ask, Answer, Comment On, And Vote In The Community", but that won't fit on the page.

Sheila Sim takes on first acting role in local drama
Text: Teo Sijia
Photos: May Lim & Teo Sijia
Video: Tay Yi Xuan
Singapore's top model Sheila Sim has risen to the challenge of acting in her first Ch8 drama I'm in Charge.
She plays Wang Xiaohui, a 'blur queen' who is warm and helpful but only inconveniences others, as she never fails to mess up whatever she does.
In an interview with xinmsn on the first day of filming, the 28-year-old model said that she was 'extremely nervous', but felt that she was 'fortunate and blessed' to have a supportive crew in her first drama.
"There were moments when I completely forgot my lines and I couldn't act, but everyone was so patient and they kept encouraging me and giving me advice," she recalled.
Sheila also said that she learned a lot from co-star Rayson Tan when he rehearsed with her numerous times before filming.The experienced MediaCorp actor would demonstrate the part himself and point out her weaknesses.
When asked about her thoughts on being paired up with Elvin Ng in the drama, Sheila confessed that her friendship with Elvin allowed them to build up their chemistry quickly.
She revealed that she and Elvin go way back, as he was a model for three years before going into acting.
In I'm in Charge, Elvin plays Ah Wei, who has a secret society background and wants to move into his nephew Jiahao's (played by Aloysius Pang) house after being released from prison. Sheila's character Xiaohui, who is Jiahao's paternal aunt, tries all means to stop him out of fear that Ah Wei will be a bad influence on Jiahao. As a consequence, the pair is always at odds.
Elvin jokingly said that they are often 'at odds' in reality too. Offset, Sheila and Elvin are fast friends who readily tease each other and share jokes.
In between takes, Elvin would also chat with Sheila to ease her tension, assuring her that he would help her along the way. He told her to relax and just try her best.

Having recently ended its partnership with Amazon and launched a new e-commerce site in the US, I expected that Borders would develop a similar version for the UK.
However, the redesigned Borders.co.uk has now gone live and it is completely different to its US counterpart.
We've taken a look to see how they compare...
While the homepage of the US version is dominated by the Magic Shelf display, the designers of the UK site have decided not to bother with it. This is a good thing in my opinion, as I found it fairly ineffective in finding new books, while it also slowed up the loading time of the page.
Here's the UK version:
And the US site:
Instead, staff picks, latest bestsellers, recommendations and new releases are given prominence on the homepage. By not adding the Magic Shelf Flash tool, there is also more room for navigation features.
While the US site has four main product categories on the top navigation bar, Borders.co.uk has seven, which makes it easier to start your search in the relevant section.
Here's the UK navigation:
And the US version:
For instance, you can select 'non-fiction' straight from the UK homepage, whereas Borders.com doesn't even have this category.
In addition the promoted bestsellers, recommendations etc in the centre of the page provide another way of browsing through the site, while the search tool is very useful.
It has an auto-complete tool so that, as you type in your search term it suggests names of books, authors etc. This can be useful, and is something that other etailers should consider using.
The results for the queries I tried were accurate, and the site allows users to sort by category, author, tags and media type to narrow down the selection:
If you browse through categories via the main navigation, the filtering tools are just as useful. But in some cases, after you narrowed the selection down as far as the sorting tools will allow, you are still left with 100+ books to look through, which is too many.
Book suggestor
The 'Spookily Accurate Book Suggestor' is a search tool which aims to recommend books based on the book title you enter, a favourite book, or one you have enjoyed reading.
It seems to work well. For instance, I entered 'Stalingrad' and was pointed towards other books on Russia and WW2, as well as other titles by the same author. All useful suggestions.
Product pages
The product pages have plenty of detail to help you decide on a book. As well as a synopsis of the book, user reviews and related blog articles are provided, though most books on the site have not been reviewed as yet.
Price, delivery details and availability are displayed clearly, though you need to scroll down the page for further terms and conditions and payment methods.
The basket link is in the top right, where you would expect to find it, but some other aspects of the basket and checkout process are confusing.
Clicking on the basket link brings up a mini basket which shows the contents and total price. However, where you would normally expect a link to the checkout, you instead have the option of 'review and purchase':
After clicking the 'review and purchase' link, I was expecting to see a more detailed summary of my basket, but Borders has combined the basket and checkout functions into one page.
There is no link that makes it clear you are entering the checkout process and, beneath the summary of items you have added, you are expected to enter address and payment details, after first registering.
Some users may find this process confusing, as it differs so much from the practice of most other e-commerce sites. I'd prefer a clear 'proceed to checkout' link so it is obvious that you are about to start paying for your items.
I wasn't that impressed with the US version of the site, but Borders.co.uk is an improvement. The navigation is more intuitive, making it easier to browse around for books and music.
The search and Book Suggestor tools are useful for getting ideas for new books to read while, once the site's users write enough reviews, the product pages will be very useful for deciding which book to buy.
Borders has also added a forums and blogs sections, allowing users to update profiles and write reviews and blog posts. This should be useful when deciding whether or not to rely on a particular review, as you can visit users' profiles, see their interests and other reviews.
The checkout process lets the site down though; being so different to other e-commerce sites, as well as the fact that it lacks a clear checkout link, may confuse some shoppers.

I Want One!: Iran's Fleet Of Flying Boats Equipped With Machine Guns, Missiles
Iran a mile in under six minutes once, I'm just sayin'. And I didn't need no flying boat with guns to do it either, just a handful of amphetamines. Kidding, I would have had a heart attack. And not the good kind where all your organs wear cowboy & Indian costumes and duke it out in your abdomen either, I'm talking about the kind that'll actually kill ya. And not with kindness -- with you clutching your chest begging, "oh shit Lord, please don't take me now!" Anyway, an Iranian flying boat with machine guns and possible missile attachments. "Solid lead-in, GW." Thanks homes, I thought so.
As for its criticisms, the Bavar 2 has been accused of being very "kit," as in it looks like a watercraft you could have ordered online and assembled yourself. Just do a Google image search for "hoverwing" and you'll see many craft like it.
There's also the big question of just how stealthy it is. Iranian officials claims that its hull makes it undetectable by radar, though videos of the thing flying show that it's pretty damn loud. The blue paint job probably works well enough -- the Bavar 2 doesn't fly high enough for its red underbelly to ever really factor in -- it really mostly skims above the water.
I don't care what they say, I want one. You just watch -- give it a year a two and all the modern pirates are gonna be rockin' blanes. Distract you with a couple loopty-loops and maybe some sky writing, and next thing you know, RAT-A-TAT-A-TAT-A-TAT -- you're under heavy fire. And heavy fire, as you might know, is fire with extra deuterium in it. Get it? That one was for all you chemists!

I've been using only IIS/ASP hosting for over twelve years and wish I'd never dropped linux to begin with! By the time I realised the mistake I had a good-sized library of ASP code. :(
I get over the problem with a file of ASP code that traps various IPs, UAs and methods with the aid of a MySQL database of banned and blocked IPs (there is a difference); the database also holds many known ranges for broadband ISPs. Newly auto-blocked (previously unencountered - typically 10 to 20 a day) IPs are analyzed by me and the full range added to the database.
The code file is included in every web page - takes a bit of extra time to load and test but not significant (typically 15 to 40 milliseconds), even with the MySQL IP database behind it (I have a timer that monitors this) and logging the result(s) to half a dozen text-based logs.
My method was adopted some years ago because, at the time, ASP had only an expensive third-party isapi application. Now, I would recommend using the htaccess-like isapi module under IIS. Advantages of that include control of image serving, which my method does not easily cover.
keyplr - extend that IP range to 126.96.36.199 - 126.96.36.199

Energy aid programs fall to budget cuts
With its federal funding drying up, Arrowhead Economic Opportunity Agency is downsizing.By: Candace Renalls, Duluth News Tribune
With its federal funding drying up, Arrowhead Economic Opportunity Agency is downsizing.
AEOA has closed its Duluth office, which operated home weatherization and energy assistance programs in the Duluth area for low to moderate income families.
"We scaled back, there was a number of layoffs," said Steve Raukar, the nonprofit's board chairman. "It's unfortunate. We basically hung on as long as we could."
The office, in West Duluth, closed Feb. 14, the same day its staff of about 10 were abruptly laid off, though half have since been reassigned, officials say. Those laid off include weatherization auditors, production managers and work crews.
Still, the AEOA services will continue in the Duluth area for the time being.
AEOA's larger Gilbert office will now handle the weatherization and energy assistance programs for all of St. Louis, Lake and Cook counties, with crews traveling from the Iron Range to assess and weatherize homes throughout its 10,000-square-mile region. The program provides home energy audits and weatherproofs homes of clients below certain income levels, including $42,789 for a family of four and $22,250 for a single person.
But AEOA's lack of an office in Duluth was short-lived.
Thanks to the city of Duluth's creation of the Housing Resource Connection, a one-stop shop for housing assistance in the former Central Hillside Community Center, AEOA set up a small office there this week where people can apply for weatherization and energy assistance.
The rent is a fraction of what AEOA was paying at its previous office at 3112 Truck Center Drive, said Scott Zahorik, director of AEOA's housing services.
The Housing Resource Center at Lake Avenue and Fourth Street also houses Common Ground and One Roof Community Housing. The Duluth Housing and Redevelopment Authority and the city's community development division also have a presence there.
"The city is trying to nudge everyone along to get all the housing resources in one building," Zahorik said.
So far, it's working well, said Keith Hamre, the city's director of planning and construction.
"It's a way to utilize the strengths of each agency," he said. "Having all those groups together, it's the next step in the collaborative evolution of these groups."
AEOA's downsizing follows boom years when stimulus money from the U.S. Department of Energy flowed into nonprofit programs like AEOA's.
"That really grew the weatherization program," Zahorik said. "Seven years of work was done in two years. The program virtually exploded for a couple of years, and now we're on the downside."
Actually, it's worse than that.
Funding plummeted last year after Minnesota was denied federal funding for weatherization programs.
"We were able to continue with carry-over dollars for four or five months," said Harlan Tardy, AEOA's executive director. "That allowed us to keep it open longer. But those dollars expired. It forced us to close that office."
Now AEOA's programs are among the many programs facing blanket cuts from sequestration, the automatic, across-the-board federal budget cuts that are under way.
"We're in the great unknown," Zahorik said. "So what we're trying to do is be proactive, be as frugal as we can while we wait and see if and how much the program is funded this year."
AEOA has enough funding left to keep the free weatherization program going for a few more months, bringing AEOA to the start of its July 1 funding cycle, he said.
Sequestration cuts also stand to affect its energy assistance efforts — which is a seasonal program with a largely seasonal staff — and other AEOA programs like Meals on Wheels.

Abstract: Recreation activity preferences in forest settings were explored in a scene preference study. The importance of type of human intervention and the level of biodiversity for preference and intention to engage in recreation activities were examined in a sample of forestry and social science students in Sweden. Results showed that forestry students displayed an almost equally strong preference for natural-looking scenes as for scenes with traces of recreation (e.g., paths), whereas social science students preferred recreational scenes the most. Least preferred were scenes with traces of forest management. Different forest settings were furthermore preferred for different recreation activities. Recreational settings were favored for walking and going on outings, and natural-looking settings were more appreciated for picking berries or mushrooms. Respondents displayed a stronger intention to study plants and animals in high biodiversity settings and the intention to exercise was stronger in low biodiversity settings. Implications for future land use planning and forest management are discussed.

Shopping on the go with the launch of Ebay India Mobile and eBay India SMS Pricebook
I believe this is fairly common in a country like India where people other than those living in the metros still prefer traditional shopping practices where until and unless, they don't go, see and feel the product they feel hesitant to buy anything. Also, one more prime concern lies with the security. Anyways, I am not here to discuss it all in detail. As I told before, I love to shop online and would like do it more often if I have the money for the same
I remember I had created my account in baaze.com in the year 2003 and to start with, I had purchased a game cd and later I had purchased one college bag from the same site. Initially, I was a bit hesitant to buy these products online but anyways, I bought them and I have to say here the kind of service which I received from ebay was just awesome. I got my products in time and in absolutely great condition. One of the top reasons why I am became more interested in this site. Well, now its been more than 8 years and I haven't had much opportunity to shop online but still, if I do feel like shopping online, I will surely prefer ebay.in over others. And now with launch of ebay India Mobile, shopping does look to be more fun !
Whether you are in a departmental store or at a gathering, eBay India SMS Pricebook would allow you to check the price of any product available on eBay website (www.ebay.in).
You can also view the latest deals on eBay India (by sending 'EBAY Deals' to 567678).
Other than these, many new features are to be rolled out in near future to enhance shopping experience via Ebay India Mobile. Sellers at Ebay India are more likely to appreciate these new additions.

Planning a trip to Turkey in a stretch of 14 days around April, there are few key places we wanted to visit, which are: Istanbul, Cappadocia, Ephesus and the Turkish riviera coast. But since time is a bit limited, we've decided to focus on only Istanbul and the Turkish riviera, and here's what I came up with...
Day 1 Arrive Istanbul airport early morning, transfer immediate flight to Izmir airport, rent a car, drive to Kusadasi, arrive late afternoon
Day 2 Based in Kusadasi, daytrip to Ephesus
Day 3 Based in Kusadasi, join a coach day tour to Pamukkale, return to Kusadasi
Day 4 Drive Kusadasi to Bodrum
Day 5 Based in Bodrum, planning to explore vicinity
Day 6 Drive Bodrum to Marmaris
Day 7 Based in Marmaris, planning to explore vicinity
Day 8 Drive Marmaris to Fethiye
Day 9-10 Based in Fethiye, planning to explore vicinity (Kayakoy, Oludeniz, Hisaronu, Kas)
Day 11 Drive Fethiye to Dalaman airport, catch flight back to Istanbul, arrive late afternoon
Day 12-13 Istanbul
Day 14 Leave Istanbul after noon
Since we'll be driving, the schedule should be flexible between Kusadasi all the way to Fethiye. Right now I'm allocating 2 or 3 nights in each town (Kusadasi, Bodrum, Marmaris, Fethiye). What we're not sure of is which towns between Bodrum, Marmaris, Fethiye has more sights that might require 3 nights instead of 2?
It's our first time in the coastal region too, wondering if we should sacrifice Pamukkale for next time and just focus on the coast? I've read that April is still very quiet for the coastal regions, but we think it's perfect for us.
I've been to Istanbul but my travel companion will be in Istanbul for the very first time. Wondering if 3 nights (2.5 daytime) in Istanbul would be enough? Should we add more days?
Need opinion on my itinerary

Here are some questions you may consider asking yourself :
- Why spend a whole day at Ephesus which is only 15 minutes drive from Kusadasi?
- Why take bus tour to Pamukkale and lose flexibility rather than self drive and be able to visit Aphrodisias also?
- Why spend two nights in Bodrum, which has one decent museum and only a few scattered small ruins? In fact, why go to Bodrum at all, when other spots have more interesting nature and history?
- Why stay in Marmaris, an over-built resort city at all? rather than somewhere on the Datca peninsula?
- Fethiye and environs have all the major sites like Tlos, Pinara, Saklikent, Letoon, Xanthos, etc. so why not stay here rather than spend any time in Bodrum and Marmaris?
- Rather than waste 5-6 hours to drive to Kas and Back, why not spebd a few nights there, visiting patara on the way from Fethiye and Kekova, Myra, Saint Nicholas, Arycanda from Kas?
- Why spend such little time in Istanbul when April may only give you 16-18 degrees sea temperature on the Turkish riviera?
unless you have been to Istanbul before or planning to come back again. -

You'd better include Dalyan to your itinerary.
I recommend Berg Hotel on the banks of the river and just across the rock tombs of the ancient Kings of Kaunos. A riverboat takes you from the pier of the hotel and takes you to the famous Iztuzu Beach known as Turtle beach.

thanks for the inputs, it helps on exactly what i was wondering about, i really had no idea if bodrum is worth spending more or lesser days. your suggestion to stay in the datca peninsula instead of marmaris sounds great too, i just looked it up on the map. i'll definitely be looking into staying there instead.
i've also read that it's more recommended to base in selcuk rather than kusadasi, any opinions on that? also, any thoughts on whether or not it is necessary to spend overnight in pamukkale, and which town should i head to next in the coast to make a more efficient route? i'm thinking from kusadasi/selcuk --> pamukkale --> marmaris/datca?
thanks for the suggestion! will definitely look more into dalyan! -

You don't say how much time you yourself spent in Istanbul but with 14 days allotted for your trip, I think you've allotted too little time to this incredible city. I have been there twice-the first time for 3 days which just whetted my appetite. I spent an additional 5 days there when I visited Turkey late last summer. 5-7 total days would not be too long at all, IMHO.
Of the coast cities you listed, I based in Fethiye and visited Kayakoy, Oludeniz, Saklikent and did a day ferry to Rhodes. In hindsight, I would have skipped Rhodes and taken in Patara instead. I absolutely loved hiking the Saklikent Gorge. The shoes they encourage you to wear, however, are incredibly uncomfortable and have no support whatsoever. I would simply do the hike in your tennis shoes if you don't mind getting them soaking wet and they'll let you do it. -

It is a good idea to continue from Pamukkale down to Marmaris-Datca.
If you visit Aphrodisias en route to Pamukkale and enjoy Heliopolis and the traverines and the necropolis at Pamukkale it makes sense to spend the night there and leave early next morning for Datca.
Have a look at http://www.fodors.com/community/europe/october-datca-trip-fumbling-family-fights-the-bees.cfm?8
my other trip reports for Turkey may also give you some ideas.
Staying at Selcuk will be cheaper and give you much more of a small local town feel. But there will be nothing to do after dark. For Selcuk, I recommend Nazhan and Bella hotels, although their rooms may be rather small. -

I'll join those suggesting that you should add time to Istanbul. I had 5 full days there, and could easily have enjoyed more.
You might find some useful information in my trip report - just click on my name to find it.
You're going to have a wonderful trip no matter what you choose! -

In April I would take Bodrum direction if I did go Prienne, Mileus, Didyma. I am leaning towrds otherchelebi's suggestions. Dalyan area is fine too. There are much more to do near Fethiye. Marmaris does not have much to offer unless you take a gullet cruise or taking a bit of rest outside of the town at places like Bordubet. So You can really skip Bodrum & Marmaris and add another day to Istanbul. From Fethiye if time permits towards Kas and further Kekova can be rewarding for a day.
Happy Travels,

We've definitely added more days in Istanbul from all the inputs & suggestions!
Thanks for pointing out to your trip reports. Been stumbling over your posts in tripadvisor too, they're all very helpful!
Decided to not head to Pamukkale and still head to Bodrum so we could stop by Priene, Miletus, Didyma, and Herakleia & Lake Bafa along the way.
Just realized there's a ferryboat route from Bodrum to Datca, but seems that it's not fully operated in April, so even though it's the better option, I'm afraid we might still have to take the longer land route through Marmaris to get to Datca?
Been reading through your amazing trip report! i do have a question about policies on renting cars though, if anyone could also give inputs on this issue, it would be great!
Would the driver need to be holding an international driving license, or would a national license suffice? My husband will be driving most of the time, and he has a US license.
And I assume that you had the portable GPS by request from the rental company, or did you have your own? -

> Would the driver need to be holding an international driving license, or would a national license suffice?
I don't know if an international driver's license is necessary, but I had one. If your husband has a US license, I think he can get an international license at just about any AAA office, and that's true whether he's an AAA member or not. You just go in, fill out a short form, have a picture taken, pay a fee, and you're all set.
I had my own GPS - not one arranged through the rental company.
Glad you're enjoying my report! I had a great trip and am sure you will, too. -

You do not need an international drivers license in Turkey. Your US license will be sufficient as long as it has a photo.

James Lawson Kemper (June 11, 1823 – April 7, 1895) was a lawyer, a Confederate general in the American Civil War, and the 37th Governor of Virginia. He was the youngest of the brigade commanders, and the only non-professional military officer, in the division that led Pickett's Charge, in which he was wounded and captured but rescued.
Early life[edit]
Kemper was born in Mountain Prospect, Madison County, Virginia, the son of William and Maria E. Allison Kemper and brother of Frederick T. Kemper (the founder of Kemper Military School). His father was of German ancestry, which had been in Virginia since the colonial era.[1] His grandfather had served on the staff of George Washington during the American Revolutionary War, but he himself had virtually no military training. He graduated from Washington College (now Washington and Lee University) in 1842, becoming a lawyer.
After the start of the Mexican-American War, he enlisted and became a captain and assistant quartermaster in the 1st Virginia Infantry, but he joined the service too late (1847) to see any combat action. By 1858 he was a brigadier general in the Virginia Militia.
Kemper was elected to the Virginia House of Delegates in 1853. He became chairman of the Military Affairs Committee, where he was a strong advocate of state military preparedness. In early 1861 he became Speaker, a position he held until January 1863. Much of his term as Speaker coincided with his service in the Confederate States Army.
Civil War[edit]
After the start of the Civil War, Kemper served as a brigadier general in the Provisional Army of Virginia, and then a colonel in the Confederate States Army, becoming head of the 7th Virginia Infantry. At First Bull Run, Kemper led the regiment as part of Jubal Early's brigade. His regiment was later assigned to Brig. Gen. A.P. Hill's brigade in Maj. Gen. James Longstreet's division of the Confederate Army of the Potomac from June 1861 to March 1862. On May 26, A.P. Hill was promoted to division command and Kemper got the brigade. After a gallant performance at the Battle of Seven Pines during the Peninsula Campaign, Kemper was promoted to brigadier general on June 3, 1862. Leading the brigade through the Seven Days Battles, he then became a division commander after Robert E. Lee reorganized the army (commanding half of James Longstreet's old division).
At the Second Battle of Bull Run, Kemper's division took part in Longstreet's surprise attack against the Union left flank, almost destroying Maj. Gen. John Pope's Army of Virginia. Afterwards, his division was merged into General David R. Jones's command and Kemper reverted to brigade command. At the Battle of Antietam he was south of the town of Sharpsburg, defending against Maj. Gen. Ambrose E. Burnside's assault in the afternoon of September 17, 1862. He withdrew his brigade in the face of the Union advance, exposing the Confederate right flank, and the line was saved only by the hasty arrival of A.P. Hill's division from Harpers Ferry.
When George Pickett returned to duty after Antietam, he took command of the troops Kemper had led at Second Bull Run. In 1863, the brigade was assigned to Pickett's Division in Longstreet's Corps, which meant that he was absent from the Battle of Chancellorsville, while the corps was assigned to Suffolk, Virginia. However, the corps returned to the army in time for the Gettysburg Campaign.
At the Battle of Gettysburg, Kemper arrived with Pickett's Division late on the second day of battle, July 2, 1863. His brigade was one of the main assault units in Pickett's Charge, advancing on the right flank of Pickett's line. After crossing the Emmitsburg Road, his brigade was hit by flanking fire from two Vermont regiments, driving it to the left and disrupting the cohesion of the assault. Kemper rose on his stirrups to urge his men forward, shouting "There are the guns, boys, go for them!"
This bravado made him a more visible target and he was wounded by a bullet in the abdomen and thigh and captured by Union troops. He was rescued by Sgt. Leigh Blanton of the 1st Virginia[2] and was carried back to Confederate lines on Seminary Ridge. General Robert E. Lee encountered Kemper being carried on a stretcher and inquired about the seriousness of his wound, which Kemper said he thought was mortal. He requested that Lee "do full justice to this division for its work today."[3] During the Confederate Army's retreat from Gettysburg, Kemper was again captured by Union forces. He was exchanged (for Charles K. Graham) on September 19, 1863.[4] For the rest of the war he was too ill for combat, and commanded the Reserve Forces of Virginia. He was promoted to major general on September 19, 1864.
Postbellum career[edit]
It had not been possible to remove the bullet that had wounded Kemper at Gettysburg, and he suffered from groin pain for the rest of his life. After the war he worked as a lawyer and served as the first Governor of Virginia after Reconstruction from January 1, 1874, to January 1, 1878 having defeated Republican Robert W. Hughes with 43.84% of the vote. Jones (1972) argues that Kemper and like-minded Conservatives implemented racial policies which were less anti-Negro and which gave fuller recognition than historians have conceded. The Virginia Redeemers attempted to shape race relations to conform to what C. Vann Woodward has defined as the Conservative philosophy. Jones concludes that Kemper and the Virginia Redeemers deserve to rank in history alongside the Wade Hamptons and other proponents of the Conservative philosophy.[5]
Kemper died in Walnut Hills, Orange County, Virginia, where he is buried.
In popular media[edit]
Actor Royce D. Applegate portrayed Kemper in two films, Gettysburg (1993) and Gods and Generals (2003).

New Report Shows EU Can Double its Emissions Targets
A new report by the Stockholm Environment Institute and Friends of the Earth Europe shows that Europe can and must cut its emissions by 40% in 2020 and 90% in 2050.
Just a week ahead of the UN Climate Change Summit in Copenhagen, a new study released Tuesday, December 2nd by the Stockholm Environment Institute in partnership with Friends of the Earth Europe proves for the first time that Europe could double its greenhouse gas emission reduction target for 2020.
The report, titled 'Europe's Share of the Climate Challenge: Domestic Actions and International Obligations to Protect the Planet,' shows how Europe can cut its emissions by 40% in 2020, and by 90% in 2050 compared to 1990 levels. Europe is currently only aiming for half of those reductions.
Magda Stoczkiewicz, director of Friends of the Earth Europe said: "This study proves that it is possible for Europe to deliver its fair share of necessary global emission cuts. A 40% cut by 2020 in Europe is feasible and affordable, and it can be done without resorting to dangerous or unproven solutions. The EU can make these cuts in a way which not only improves the quality of life for people in Europe, but also ensures the rights of poorer parts of the world to develop sustainably."
The study also shows that drastic cuts by the EU will not be enough and that the EU and other countries must support the developing world's climate challenge. It suggests that the EU should contribute between €150 and €450 billion per year to developing countries, or less than €3 per person per day. Only the combination of a reduction in emissions by the EU as well as the provision of adequate finances for the EU will be enough to fight climate change.
Dr. Charles Heaps of the Stockholm Environment Institute, lead author of the report and a senior scientist in SEI's climate and energy program, said: "Our analysis shows that deep cuts in emissions can be achieved in Europe at reasonable cost between now and 2050. The scale and speed of changes required may seem daunting...but the potential costs of inaction are so large that doing nothing presents a far more implausible and dangerous future pathway for Europe."

not officially. The tech support guy I spoke with said it would not be continued and that support would only be for people with subscription. which I have. thats a pretty good source even though it's not a direct press release. So dont expect anything further from impression.
I kinda hope they release the sourtce code and let the community continue to build it if they are not going to persue it. That would be good to make it open source.
Well, it's not official, but as close to it as possible.
I sure wish they would sell it to somebody with the will to continue development or Open Source it.
this definitely saddens me. This program was such a great idea and it does so much so good already!
It seems I'll have to keep a XP installation indefinitely, since I use Impression a lot.
More recently I've noticed that I'm not seeing the stability problems that were issues in Win7 installations even with the hot fix. Could a windows update have fixed the Win7 problems with Impression? In any case it's good news.

NOTICE: I just updated the instructable, if there are any errors, tell me. I will be editing my instructables for the next week or so.
The first version of this instructable was extremely outdated and the DVDs were really annoying.
In this version, you will be loading ISOs from you SD Card, USB Stick, or USB HDD.
Ace - If your gonna add to the instructable please use proper capitalization, grammar, line spacing, etc. Each step has an outline of what needs to be written there. The outline can be erased once you finish writing that step
What you Need:
Separate SD Card -or- USB Stick -or- USB HDD
Homebrew Enabled Wii (go here to enable it for homebrew)
Computer with SD Card Reader <= Required (even if your using usb to load ISOs)
If Using USB: Computer with USB Slots
2011 or similar errors- Fixing this is no longer hard, there is now a Trucha Bug restorer. PLEASE READ EVERYTHING ON PAGE...INCLUDING DISCLAIMERS.
Step 1: Pre-notes
Please note that you will probably not need a 4.7 gigabyte storage device to hold one game. This may come as a shock to those of you who have messed around with ISOs for awhile, but a game like Wii Play is only 0.09 gigabytes. No I didn't mess up the decimal. The extra stuff that makes the ISO 4.7 gigabytes is sheared off and you get a cISO, or a compressed ISO. Wii Sports is only 0.3 gigabytes. Other games with more textures and story play are bigger, like Metroid Prime 3, which is 4.1 gigs. Supersmash Brothers Brawl is 6.4 gigabytes because the disc is dual layered. if you use a WBFS manager to copy over your ISOs you will see an "estimated size". I saw this size and almost fainted lol. my prediction of 25 games for 80 gigabytes of space shot up to 50+. I'm telling you this so you dont go overboard shopping for a 32 gigabyte flashdrive. If you have one of the older ipods with alot of free space, say about 10 gigabytes (you can do this with less, but i like 10 gigs), you could partition it off and store the cISO wii games on the Ipod itself! I will discuss this further in step 5.
Am I supposed to make a "Apps" folder in my card? :S
You sd card should have:
SD://apps/Cios Rev 14
hope that makes sense.
mounting device.....success
retrieving files......failed
Any help?
When I try to run the cIOS36 rev 10 installer, my remote freezes up and I get a black screen. I've waited a decent amount of time while periodically trying to turn my remote on with no success. If anyone has any ideas or solutions, I'd greatly appreciate it.
But, now I am running into another issue I've seen people have run into. When I press A in the version selection screen (which is the first screen after selecting the cIOS installer in Homebrew) my remote no longer communicates with my Wii and I'm left at this first screen. I've tried my other remotes and simply waiting for over an hour with no positive results. Again, any help or suggestions are greatly appreciated.
I'm at the point where I've backed up all my games on an external harddrive and play them right from the harddrive. It took me a lot of research to get to this point and that link is where nearly 95% of that knowledge came from. Have fun. :)
i have a question for you
i have a wii and it has a mod chip in it
can i do this if the mod chip is still inside?
will this damage my wii if there is a mod chip inside it when i do this
Help? :-(
1. I'm taken to a navigation page saying the following:
[+] Select IOS version to use during installation:
<IOS249> (My Wii freezes if I choose any option other than < Do Not Reload IOS > or < IOS254 >)
I get the disclaimer, to which I agree.
I select the WAD installation option as I seem to get further with that than I do with the Internet Option...
Everything goes fine except:
[+] Installing Custom IOS, please wait...
>> Install Error! (ret = -2011)
Then below that it says:
[+] Finishing Installation, please wait... OK!
Press any button to restart...
Then I press a button on the Wii remote and I'm sent back to the Wii Menu with nothing changed. I've never done this before so I don't have a clue whats going wrong!
Any help would be greatly appriciated
Thank you :-)
I am on 4.2, btw.

Young Ben Franklin and the Silence Dogood Letters
January 13, 2010 by Ben Edwards
I've always thought Benjamin Franklin was cool even back when I was in the sixth grade and chose to write a diary about his life for a school assignment. Thanks to my Mom for saving that little book (thirty-nine pages) and to my brother for rediscovering it recently. Brought back a lot of grade school memories – how I loved history and hated math! I didn't know it back then but young Ben Franklin didn't do real well in math either – more on that soon. The 10th son of a tallow chandler (candle and soap maker) Benjamin Franklin was born on Milk Street in Boston, Massachusetts on January 17, 1706. His parents were Josiah Franklin and Abiah Folger. Josiah thought Ben was well suited to be a member of the clergy so he sent his youngest son to Boston Latin School, a grammar school, at the age of eight. Here, Ben rose from the middle of his class to the head of that same class in less than a year. Josiah began to have second thoughts though about the ministry as a profession for his son, fearing he would not be able to afford a college education for Ben at Harvard, which would be his eventual destination on that path. Josiah Franklin decided to remove Ben from Boston Latin and send him to a writing school operated by George Brownell. Here he could learn the writing and arithmetic skills required to prepare him for work in a colonial trade. Benjamin Franklin wrote the following words decades later in his autobiography about Mr. Brownell and that school experience: "Under him I acquired fair writing pretty soon, but I failed in the arithmetic, and made no progress in it." The great inventor Benjamin Franklin didn't like math as a kid either! At least I was in good company.
At the age of ten, Ben began working for his father at the candle-making shop known as the Sign of the Blue Ball located at the southeast corner of Hanover and Union streets. Here he cut wicks for candles, filled the molds, attended the shop and went on errands. Again from his autobiography, Franklin states "I disliked the trade, and had a strong inclination for the sea, but my father declared against it." Young Ben worked in his father's shop for two years. Seeing that his son was still not happy as a tallow chandler and concerned that Ben might run off to sea, Josiah took him for a walk around Boston one day so he could see other craftsmen at work hoping that another trade might catch Ben's interest. Ben loved to read books and Josiah knew this so eventually he decided that working as a printer, apprenticed to his brother James, might be the best trade for Ben. In 1718, at the age of twelve, Ben signed papers stating that he would be bound to James Franklin as an apprentice until the age of twenty-one. Ben learned to set type, operate the press and sold printing in the streets of Boston. In August of 1721, James Franklin started printing a new weekly newspaper called the New-England Courant at his shop located off Queen Street in Dorset Alley. It was only the third newspaper in Boston at the time. By now Ben had become an excellent apprentice but he wanted to do more than set type, print the newspaper and deliver it to customers – he longed to write for it too. Feeling his brother would never let that happen, one day Ben came up with an idea and decided to act on it. He would write for the newspaper – but secretly.
In late March of 1722, sixteen-year-old Ben disguised his handwriting and crafted a letter using the pen name Silence Dogood, a middle-aged widow, and slid it under the print shop door. His brother James was so impressed with the content of the letter that he decided to publish it in that week's issue of the Courant. On April 2, 1722, the people of Boston first began to read the words of a woman who promised "once a Fortnight to present them with a short Epistle to add somewhat to their Entertainment". Between April and October of 1722 Ben, as the charming and witty Silence Dogood, wrote a total of 14 letters to "the Author of the New-England Courant" on a variety of topics from love to manners to education. Picture what it must have been like for Ben, while working at the print shop, to overhear his brother James and others praising these letters! Imagine how Ben felt setting the type for something he wrote himself and printing it. In one of the letters Silence Dogood mentioned that as a widow, she would be open to suitors. Men actually wrote to the paper with offers of marriage! When Ben stopped writing his letters after six months, people missed them. At the end of the year James placed an ad in his paper asking if anyone could "give a true account of Mrs. Silence Dogood, whether dead or alive, married or unmarried". After that, Ben told his brother that he had written the letters and, although people in town thought it was humorous, James was upset. Bad feelings between the two caused Ben to break his apprenticeship and sail to Philadelphia where he continued in the printing trade.
I began today's post by mentioning my sixth grade school project and my admiration for Ben Franklin. There's a bit more to the story. Many years after writing that diary of Franklin's life, my college roommate and I, both of us with degrees in marketing, did something that Franklin himself would have appreciated – we became apprentice printers. Both of us learned the trade from the ground up and operated our own printing shop for twenty years. Although I started on the press, much like Franklin himself I gravitated toward the writing and marketing end of the business. We had a great staff, some outstanding equipment and a well established base of national clients before electing to sell the business in 2004. Today, when I work with students in the classroom and on Boston field trips, they enjoy hearing about the printing connection. They are also fascinated to learn that one of my ancestors, 36-year-old Captain Benjamin Edwards, walked the streets of Boston in 1722 during the time the Silence Dogood letters were published in the New-England Courant. I wonder if he ever bumped into sixteen-year-old Benjamin Franklin? Most of the students are familiar with the Silence Dogood letters thanks to their inclusion in the very popular movie National Treasure. In the film, clues hidden in the letters help lead Benjamin Franklin Gates closer to the most spectacular treasure in history. As a tribute to Mr. Franklin and Mrs. Dogood, the trailer for National Treasure appears below.
