WNEM.com has an update to this story -- Evie Branan got to see Bob Seger in concert Thursday night -- click here to read that story.
One Mid-Michigan woman is turning her misfortune into opportunity after waking from a comatose state -- she's doing the first thing that sprang to mind after coming out of the coma -- going to a Bob Seger show!
"Well, I don't know anything about what happened to me, only that I had a stroke and I didn't remember anything for five-and-a-half years," explained 79-year-old Evie Branan.
Then a bump of the head miraculously brought her back, and she just had one request -- to see Bob Seger in concert. Now that wish is coming true.
Branan is counting down the hours until she's swept off to the Palace of Auburn Hills in a limousine to see Seger on April 11, a pretty astounding feat considering the time she spent in a coma. "I didn't communicate with anybody; they said all I did was lay and stare," said Branan.
Then in May 2011, for the first time in years, she tried to get out of bed by herself to head for the ladies room, where she slipped and bumped her head.
"My memory started coming back, not all at once, just gradually," explains Branan. "But they said when I woke up one morning, the first words out of my mouth [were], 'I want to go to a Bob Seger concert,' and what made me say that I still can't figure out why."
The folks at Willowbrook Manor, the nursing home facility where Branan stays, took the strange request to heart.
"I've never seen this ,and it was just something that was really touching to me," said Willowbrook Manor administrator Michelle Cross. "That this lady had lost a lot of her life, and she's getting it back, but I wanted to give her what she missed."
Now this isn't Branan's first time seeing Seger in concert -- she's actually seen him on several occasions -- however, this time she's hoping for a little bit more than just a good show.
"I'm learning how to stand so I can hug him, and I'm going to hug him and give him a great big smooch!" Branan says.

The good: The Vizio E0i series shows deep black levels, a uniform screen, and commendable bright-room performance, making it a solid midlevel LCD TV. The Smart content selection is excellent. With its thin bezel, the set has a more compact, sleeker look than many competitors.
The bad: The set's local-dimming system can cause crushing, obscuring shadow detail; the dimming effect can be very obvious on some scenes; the so-called 120Hz refresh rate does nothing to improve picture quality.
The bottom line: The Vizio E series offers picture quality nearing the more expensive M series and is a very good choice if you value its Smarts and styling.

VIZIO Has Won Me Over!
by MCistheway2B on April 10, 2013
Pros: Decent picture quality and contrast
Sound quality is adequate
Super easy set up
Wifi connection process is fast, smooth, and seamless
Cons: Cheap (non-QWERTY) remote

Summary: I was reluctant to purchase this TV at first as it was only my second HDTV purchase and my first one was a 43 inch Samsung plasma TV. The Samsung's panel died on me about 2 weeks ago after working great since I bought it in May 2011. Luckily, I had purchased a 3 year warranty through Squaretrade and they got my refund to me super quick (highly recommended). I came across this VIZIO and it basically owns the best reviews for a 50 inch LED (now I see why), so after a little research I went for it and I really feel like I hit a home run with this one.Edit:
Picture Quality:
Having previously owned the 43 inch Samsung Plasma, I can definitely say the blacks are nicer on the Samsung, but that's be supposed to be a strength for a plasma TV. Being an LED, this VIZIO has more than adequate blacks in its display of HD and even standard channels. The overall display of standard channels on this VIZIO have a decent looking picture. HD movies are true 1080p and beautiful.
Sound Quality:
I think the sound quality of this TV is adequate, not awesome, but adequate. If you're wanting an impressive home theater experience from an audio standpoint then I think a sound bar or a surround sound system would be the way to go here.
The TV, out of the box takes about 15 minutes to set up if you're taking your time. The remote is a little small, but unless you have massive hands it shouldn't be an issue. When you go to turn on the TV it takes about 15 seconds from when you press the power button to when you see the screen display the picture. Maybe that's too long for some people, it doesn't bother me. The Wifi connection process is fast, smooth, and seamless. As far as the Smart TV features go, it's very non-invasive. Pops up at the press of the big "V" button midway up the remote and it displays the scrollable bar along the bottom of the screen with everything from Netflix & Hulu Plus to YouTube, Twitter, Skype, and Facebook.
I know this review has nothing to do with a Squaretrade warranty, but I felt compelled to reiterate that their warranties are so valuable. I bought a 4 year warranty for this TV that cost $99.99, but I found a 35% off coupon code that made the warranty only $70 after tax. Just thought I'd throw that out there.
Overall, I would say if you're looking to go bigger than the 40 inch range with a HDTV that really delivers in quality and performance without breaking the bank, then this is the TV for you. Lastly, for low price guarantee of this tv I suggest you have to check at: ledsmarthdtvs2013.blogspot.com/p/vizio-e500i-a1.html
I hope this review is helpful.

Please use the buttons below to see more information on Gloucester and matches between Wasps and Gloucester over the years.
London Wasps extended their winning streak to nine successive games after Warren Gatland's side toppled Gloucester with a 27-17 win at Kingsholm. Three tries to two secured the four points and strengthened Wasps' position at the top tier of the league table.
Rugby games don't often produce scores when both sides fail to register a point going into the half-time, however, this game, amazingly did. The first half saw Gloucester throw everything at Wasps, and come close to scoring, but some solid defence kept The Cherry & Whites at bay. Brad Davies had a couple of chances to open the scoring but the Gloucester flyhalf missed two penalty attempts. Edd Thrower also had a long-range chance from 55m out, but the winger also missed. The only major incident in the half was England prop, Phil Vickery, being helped off field after taking a blow to the head.
The second half saw both sides come out firing and it didn't take long before Wasps scored the first try and points of the game. It came from Simon Shaw after the 6'9'' giant dived across from close range. It took some good quick hands down the backline to set it up, but the lock was on hand to fend off several challenges and score. It went to the Television Match Official to confirm the try but there was never a doubt that it was a try. Mark Van Gisbergen added the conversion and the scoreboard finally changed from 0-0.
10-minutes later Gatland made his first replacements with Will Green and Trevor Leota coming on for Tim Payne and Phil Greening respectively.
Gloucester's Simon Amor replaced Davies in the kicking department for the second half and soon added three points from a penalty. At 3-7, it was still an open game but it took a moment of brilliance from Ayoola Erinle to score the game's and Wasps' second try. Erinle, playing at centre, sidestepped and jinxed his way around three defenders and over the tryline in the 55th minute. The conversion from Van Gisbergen stretched Wasps lead to 3-14.
Unfortunately minutes later, referee Steve Lander decided that Wasps' had one too many hands in the ruck and sent Leota to the sin-bin for 10-minutes. It was at this stage that Gloucester knew they had a lifeline back into the game and when No.8, Adam Balding, peeled off a ruck to score the home side's first try, the entire stadium erupted.
At 10-14 the game came alive and was given the injection of excitement it needed. Wasps had several chances to add another try but some ambitious passing and try-saving defence kept the side from scoring. Just passed the hour mark, Van Gisbergen slotted the first of two penalties, and with the side now leading 20-10 the win was getting closer.
On 80-minutes, Thrower scored the side's third try and with the conversion from James Brooks making it 27-10, it was almost game over. Amor scored a consolation try in injury time to make it 27-17, but it wasn't enough as Wasps became the first side to win at Kingsholm in more than 12-months in the Premiership. Erinle was named the Man of the Match.
After the game, Gatland said: "The difference between the sides was that we were experienced at eight, nine and 10 and generally around the park. Yes, we missed out on the bonus but we can't be greedy.
Gatland also sang the praises for Erinle saying: "I also felt that Ayoola Erinle was sensational. We got a fantastic 80-minutes out of him in this game. In the past I have not seen a better impact player anywhere in the world than Erinle when he comes off the bench for us.
"I think he's the sort of player you would love to have in the England side, say coming off the bench or even in the Lions squad. He is something special.
He added: "There is a lot more to come from this side in terms of improving for later in the season. I would like to think we've sent out a bit of a warning to some other sides that we are going to hit top gear soon and when we do they better watch out.

New ice on five new sheets was the center of attention for the First Ice Event and the Public Open House. The club opened its doors to a new season and a new home in October.
Milwaukee Curling Club members who made the new clubhouse a reality were along sidelines as Dave Goelzer took to the hack on center sheet ice for the First Rock Friday night. It was a special rink of MCC members -- Betsy Fredericksen and Mary Beth Goelzer took first sweeps onto Steve Shallock and more sweeps to Fred Blizzard for the rock run to the house. On the button delivery to First Skip Mark Conrardy. Brooms up and a "good curling" handshake from Matt Goelzer. And a well deserved applause to the success of the new shed.
The doors to the new clubhouse opened to members, guests and those interested in seeing curling up close on Friday and Saturday nights. More actiivities followed the next week including Practice Ice and 3 Learn to Curls. The Members' Opening Day, a MCC club tradition was Sunday October 28, 2012, in the new house.

Milwaukee Curling Club Members exchanged brooms for shovels to break ground for the new facility located in the Ozaukee County Fairgrounds - February, 2012
Curling is a game of etiquette as well as skill... and enjoyed internationally. More Info.
Granite rocks with handles are sent down the ice after being delivered by each of four members of the two competing rinks (teams) to the house (target) at the end of the sheet. Sweeping by other members of the rink assists the rock as it travels down the ice before stopping in or around the house. The fourth member of each team, the Skip determines the strategy and delivers the final two rocks of the team's eight rock side. After all sixteen rocks have been delivered down the ice, it is called an end. A complete game is eight ends and is decided by the team with the most points.

A Korean dish that usually consists of marinated barbecued beef.< read all 2 reviews
Bulgogi is probably one of the best foods made in Korea. It's probably one of their most well known too. It's beef that is marinated for hours in soy sauce, sesame oil, onions, garlic, pepper, and a host of other yummy ingredients. The meat is generally prime cuts of beef, so it's tender and juicy and the marinade combines to make a savory yet surprisingly sweet dish.
Stepping into a bulgogi restaurant is like stepping into a sensory overload. The smells, the tastes and textures, and the overall ambiance of bulgogi restaurants are captivating. Since this is a popular meal in Korea, often times bulgogi restaurants are very crowded, but Korean food service is surprisingly fast and efficient. The wait is never long, but even if it were, the wait is so well worth it!
Of course, Korea is well known for their side dishes, so bulgogi is usually served with rice, kimchi, pickled radish, etc. that help to offer an hearty and delicious meal. While beef can be expensive in some areas of Korea, bulgogi is still something that one should splurge on. Generally, the price ranges from around 7, 000-12, 000 KRW per serving, which in my opinion isn't very expensive. But when compared to other meals such as bibimbap (which can be had at 4, 000-6, 000 KRW) or kimbap (which can be had at 1, 000-3, 000 KRW), bulgogi can be a bit pricey.
I've sampled both grilled and pan cooked bulgogi and they're both exceptional. Next stop? The Bulgogi Burger.

Housing and Dining
On-Campus Experience
As a new First Year Student, you are required to live in the Residence Halls. You get to be part of a community that supports your academic goals and creates lasting friendships. Living in the Residence Halls allows you to participate in many events—bowling night, community service, IM Sports, trips to professional sporting events in Denver, dinner together in the Slate Cafe on campus or at Woody's Pizza in Golden. In addition, Residence Life offers you leadership opportunities. You can apply to be a Resident Assistant (RA), work at the front desk, or be elected as your floor representative to the Residence Hall Association.
Housing Options
You will have several options for freshmen housing in the Residence Halls: the Traditional Halls, Maple Hall, Jones Road Apartments, Weaver Towers and the Residence Halls at Mines Park. All of these options offer wireless and wired internet, convenient proximity to campus facilities, support from Residence Life staff, community lounges, and access to many amenities, including free tutoring, and a meal plan to all dining services on campus. For your safety, all residence halls are secure buildings with key card access required for all exterior doors, and we provide a 24 hour access to the Colorado School of Mines Police.
The Traditional Residence Halls include Morgan, Thomas, Bradford and Randall Halls. The typical layout of a double room is approximately 14'x17' (4m x 5.5m). Bunking or lofting the beds, along with creative re-arranging of the room furniture, can open your space. You will live on a floor with 20 to 30 classmates and share a common restroom/shower facility per floor.
Maple Hall is our newest residence hall and will open August 2011. This 290-bed facility houses 2 and 4 person suites, with single and double bedrooms, and a private bathroom in each suite. Five social lounges, nine study rooms, community kitchen and activity room, central living room with fireplace, music practice room, student storage and workshop space, laundry facilities, vending, mailroom and desk assistant services are available to all residents of Maple Hall.
Jones Road Residence Hall offers apartment style living with residence hall staff support. Two or Three students share one-bedroom apartments equipped with the same amenities of other residence halls, in addition to full kitchens, spacious lving rooms, and laundry facilities located in the ground level.
Weaver Towers varies widely from the Traditional Halls and offers suite-style living. Each suite houses seven to nine students in a collection of four or five double and single rooms, sharing a common living room and two private restrooms.
The Residence Halls at Mines Park are located just off campus. From Mines Park, you'll have a short bike ride or walk into campus (about a half mile.) They feature apartment-style living, typically two-bedroom units with two people sharing each bedroom. You will have a kitchen furnished with a full-size refrigerator, stove and dishwasher. Mines Park also offers community centers for social interaction, studying, mail boxes, laundry facilities and a convenience store for all your basic needs.For more information on freshman housing options and more, visit Residence Life.
The Apartments at Mines Park
In addition to our freshman housing, The Apartments at Mines Park is a complex built to provide convenient, affordable housing for the expanding Mines community. The complex has options for both single students and families.
The apartments are unfurnished. The kitchens are equipped with a full-size refrigerator, dishwasher, and an oven and range. Each bedroom has a hook-up for expanded basic cable television and wired or wireless connection to the Mines network.
There are two community centers at Mines Park. Both feature laundry facilities, television lounge, study area and kitchen. A convenience store is also featured at one of the community centers.
Quality, variety and flexibility make your dining experience what you need—unique just like you. Everything from restaurant-style dining to our convenience store adds to your program. Plus, we continually offer new great tastes as they come along–traditional American cuisine, ethnic dishes, healthy-eating options.
Our staff strives to make every experience satisfying. Whether you're eating on campus every day or just a few times a week, you could save money with your meal plan.

Margaret Scurlock, the custodian of funds for the county schools, said the district's general fund balance was at $4.9 million as of Sept. 30. That amount is $210,000 short of a one-month operating fund required by the state. However, it is higher than previous estimates.
During a budget hearing in September, Scurlock said projections had the fund balance at $4.25 million. And on Sept. 30 2011, the general fund balance was $1.5 million.
"Our finances are definitely improving," Scurlock told the audience at the board's meeting on Thursday.
Scurlock said local general funds swelled from $471,797 in 2011 to $4.7 million in 2012
According to Scurlock, the gain in local funds came about because the school district's sales tax revenue increased from $10.6 million in 2011 to $11.7 million in 2012. Scurlock added that other factors like the recent closing of schools contributed to the steep gains.
Though revenue from sales tax increased, funds from ad valorem taxes decreased from $4.8 million in 2011 to $4.5 million in 2012.
The county schools' child nutrition program also saw significant increase in its fund balance — jumping from $664,000 to $1.1 million.
Scurlock said those gains were made from reducing personnel, monitoring supplies and efficient use of commodities.
In other business, the board:
•Approved a motion to issue the district's payroll checks on Dec. 21.
•Approved the child nutrition program's plan for food safety.
•Appointed Gina Wisner to the Sick Bank Committee.
•Heard from Joel Hagood, the county school system's director of curriculum and instruction, who said the district was spotlighted for progress in college preparation during a recent conference in Florence.

An Ohio prisoner on death-row is set to be executed on Wednesday.
Steve Smith is scheduled for lethal injection at the state prison in Lucasville at 10 a.m.
Smith claims he did not mean to kill his girlfriend's 6-month-old baby, Autumn Carter, when he raped the infant in September 1998.
Smith tried to get his sentence reduced to life in prison, arguing that he was too drunk to realize his assault was killing Autumn.
The Ohio Parole Board and Gov. John Kasich unanimously turned him down.
Smith will become the 51st inmate put to death in Ohio since it resumed executions in 1999.
Both Smith's family and Autumn's family plan to witness the execution.
The Toledo Coalition Against the Death Penalty (Tolcadp) will hold a vigil at 9:30 a.m. Wednesday at the corner of Erie and Adams Streets in Downtown Toledo.
Organizers say they will stand with compassion and sympathy for the victims, including the family of Steve Smith.
In a statement, the Coalition said, "We don't argue innocence or guilt. We believe no human life should be taken. The violence must stop, by individuals and by the State."
The protests have become a custom since executions resumed.

Wine Spectator
"The outstanding 2007 Cotes du Rhone-Villages Sabrine exhibits just what heights this vintage can reach, even in humble appellations. Its deep ruby hue is followed by sumptuous aromas of black raspberries, truffles, and spring flowers. Dense, long, full-bodied, and super-serious, with no hard edges, it should drink beautifully for 3-4 years.

The Wine Advocate
The vines are located in the Commune of St Genies de Comolas
(Gard) on a poor sandy soil with lime-clay subsoil. With elegance
and finesse in mind, the Grenaches grown there produce a low
yield. The rest of the fruit comes from Travaillan in the Vaucluse
and are grown on a stony soil with lime subsoil and produce a
powerful wine. The vineyards are naturally worked with sustainable
practice in mind.
A Cote of Many Grapes
The appellation of Cotes du Rhone encompasses much of the land of the area, not to mention much of the wine - over two-thirds of the wine produced here is of the Cotes-du-Rhone appellation.

The Rhone region of France has a delightful selection of red varieties. There are 22 grapes allowed in the Rhone AOC, about half of them red. Most of these varieties are used as secondary blending partners, often comprising less than 10% of the blend. The primary red players of Rhone blends are Syrah, Grenache and Mourvedre.

Emily Wilson
Age 34
Married, Comedian
My Goal
To be a comedian
How I Did It
When I was growing up I would do anything to get a laugh. I was very skinny and short, wore enormous glasses, and had bright-red hair. I compensated for being different by being funny. One time in fifth grade I ate an onion as if it were a raw apple. I thought it would be hilarious.
After college I got a job in advertising. I started as a receptionist and because I was witty I was eventually promoted to writer. At about the same time I got engaged to my college boyfriend. He and I went to see a comedy improv show at a theater here in Chicago one night and loved it so much we both signed up for improv classes. If you were any good, the instructors at the school let you perform in front of an audience, and I found out I had been selected right before we went on our honeymoon. I had performance anxiety the whole trip, which stressed us both out so much it made my new husband wonder whether he'd made a huge mistake in marrying me.
After that I began performing every night while still going to my day job. It was fun but grueling. I hoped to make comedy my full-time -- and only! -- career and do my own stuff.
So my husband and I wrote a show together. Then I wrote one on my own and organized a group of female improv and sketch artists called the Ragdolls to perform it. That show, called Moist, ended up going to the U.S. Comedy Arts Festival, in Aspen, which was sponsored by HBO, Turner Broadcasting, and others. In January 2008 I was offered a job at Second City Mainstage, where comedians like Tina Fey, Bill Murray, and John Belushi kicked off their careers. It was so amazing and scary. But I took the job and quit the ad biz. Now I do shows six nights a week and -- actually get paid for it!
What I Learned
Life is full of surprises. If you're open to them great things can happen for you. I can't believe I went from performing for 20 people max to standing in front of an audience of 300-plus. On the other hand, none of my family or friends are really shocked that this is what I wound up doing with my life. The kid who was always trying to get attention is now getting paid to do it! I've learned that it's fun to be fearless and cathartic to talk about whatever is on your mind. But mostly what I've learned through all this is that there is absolutely nothing you can't laugh at. Nothing.
I was funny even as a kid, but my sister just thought I was embarrassing.

Tuesday Morning names industry veteran Brady Churches new ceo
September 4, 2012-- Home Textiles Today,
Dallas - Nearly three months after the company abruptly dismissed its former ceo, Tuesday Morning today announced it has found a replacement with the appointment of closeout retail veteran Brady Churches to the post, effectively immediately.
Churches has also been named to the company's board of directors.
Churches brings more than 35 years of experience to the ceo position at 850-unit Tuesday Morning. Most recently, he was with Columbus, Ohio-based Marketing Results Ltd., where he served as president. He began his career in retail in 1976 at Big Lots Inc., where for more than 20 years he served in roles of increasing responsibility that included president from 1993-1995. During his tenure there, he was credited with playing a pivotal role in the transforming of Big Lots from an automotive discount retailer into a major off-price chain, constructing a footprint of 500 retail units, 10,000 employees, and $1.8 billion in annual revenue.
"Of particular note, he spearheaded efforts in strategic sourcing, purchasing, distribution, allocation, advertising, and marketing while developing the scalable infrastructure needed to support growth, protect margins and profitability, and secure and retain top market position," noted Tuesday Morning.
From 2002 to 2006, Churches served as president of the home store division of Value City Department Stores.
"The board was searching for a 'master merchandiser,' and we believe Brady's track record of merchandising excellence, combined with his high-energy, entrepreneurial mindset, will serve Tuesday Morning very well," said Bruce Quinnell, chairman of the board. "We were particularly drawn to his demonstrated success engaging retail customers with the best products delivered at excellent values. This is the core of the Tuesday Morning mission, and the board is confident that our customers, employees, and shareholders will benefit from his leadership."

Vikings' loss shows they can compete with Bears
[size=13pt]Vikings' loss shows they can compete with Bears[/size]
By Eric Krupka on September 26, 2006 12:45 AM
"Let's face it, everything goes through Chicago," Minnesota Vikings cornerback Antoine Winfield said before Sunday's game with Chicago.
Prior to the game, tight end Jimmy Kleinsasser told KFAN's Paul Allen that playing the Bears is, "two tough games each year."
So, naturally, the game was a physical, hard-hitting affair and defensive struggle, which was exactly how everyone thought it would be. And, like Winfield so bluntly put it, everything does go through Chicago.
The Bears came out of the Metrodome victorious, for the first time in their last five tries, winning 19-16 in a game that was marred by penalties on each side.
Believe it or not, aside from the constant yellow flags flying through the air, there was a well-played football game--at least defensively.
Both defenses were stellar as the offenses played, at best, average, with the Bears winning because they were able to score an offensive touchdown after a costly miscue by the Vikings' offense.
If not for a fumble with 3:31 remaining on a botched handoff, the Vikings would have been the team atop the NFC North with a 3-0 record.
It's safe to say, even if the Vikings were stymied by the Bears' defense and were forced to punt instead of fumbling at that juncture of the game, there is no reason to believe that Chicago would have driven the length of the field in the final two minutes to win. The score was 16-12 Minnesota at the time of the turnover, so scoring a touchdown was the only way Chicago could win. All game long, the Bears had trouble moving down the field, but, thanks to the fumble, they only needed to go 37 yards for paydirt.
In the end, the one thing that was proven to all is that the Vikings can challenge the Bears for the division title. While nobody ever likes to lose, at least the Vikings can take solace in knowing they had the Bears beat, and they still get another shot at the reigning NFC North kings.
"We had the opportunity towards the end of the game, but your have to give them credit. They [Chicago] did a terrific job and they are very well coached," Vikings tight end Jermaine Wiggins said after the game.
"It hurts," Vikings center Matt Birk said about the loss.

Recently I was fortunate enough to lead a historic jitney tour around Fort Lee for local history students. We took several busloads of these young historians around Fort Lee to showcase a hidden history of the past that up until now has been something as invisible to them as Santa Claus was to young Virginia O'Hanlon. But in that great 1897 New York Sun editorial, the newspaper editor Francis Pharcellus Church told young Virginia the following:
You may tear apart the baby's rattle and see what makes the noise inside, but there is a veil covering the unseen world which not the strongest man, nor even the united strength of all the strongest men that ever lived, could tear apart. Only faith, fancy, poetry, love, romance, can push aside that curtain and view and picture the supernal beauty and glory beyond. Is it all real? Ah, VIRGINIA, in all this world there is nothing else real and abiding.
I take this as a template when giving history tours to Fort Lee students. What we hope to do is lift the veil from their young eyes and show them not only a vibrant town that is, but also the town that was, a borough that encompasses important parts of our nation's history.
As the jitney bus left School 4, I told the students that this was no mere bus, but a time machine that was about to hurtle them back to 1776, when General Washington and his army encamped along Parker Avenue; to the beginnings of the American film industry in the first film town, where Mack Sennett led slapstick chase scenes down Main Street and Fox Studio star Theda Bara turned the back lot into exotic European locations; to one of the most famous amusement parks in American History, Palisades Amusement Park, where children their age from 1898 to 1971 spent their summers thrilled by rides and the world's largest saltwater pool; to the construction of the busiest bridge in the world, the George Washington Bridge, which in a real way gave birth to our present day Borough Hall and , both dating to 1929 as the bridge was being built.
This past week, I received many letters from these very same students, and I must say, anyone who has lost faith in the future should come to my office and read these wonderful, intelligent letters, as it will serve as a tonic for your weary soul.
Below are a few excerpts from the student's letters:
- I would like to express my thanks and sincere appreciation for giving us an incredible bus tour of Fort Lee. Who knew that the town I've lived in for many years has such a rich history? To tell you the truth, I didn't understand what I could possibly learn from this tour that I didn't know before about Fort Lee, but I was very wrong. You completely blew my mind with the information you shared, and it made me realize how little I know about my own town. I guess Fort Lee isn't as boring as I thought.
- Out of everything you mentioned there were two topics that really struck me with bewilderment: the film industry and Palisades Amusement Park. I can't believe the suburban town of Fort Lee was once the center of the film industry from 1910-1917. This means that I'm living in what once was the "Hollywood" of its time, where Mr. Fox had his first studio, which later became Twentieth Century Fox, and where Universal Studio was born in 1912. It is incredible to think that Palisades Amusement Park was practically where my house is now. Also, I'd heard about this huge amusement park but never understood why it closed down. I thought maybe it was because the park was not popular enough and was not making a lot of money, when actually the reason was it was so popular that it caused too much traffic! To me, all of this information was incredible!
These are just excerpts from dozens of letters I was fortunate enough to receive from our young historians of Fort Lee. I hope these tours inspire the students to explore their town from a new point of view and to appreciate history as a living, breathing substance that is as close to them as is their imagination.
As we began the tour, some students asked why historic sites are not marked in town – I lead them to several historic markers and signs the Fort Lee Film Commission and the Fort Lee Historical Society have placed throughout the town in the past decade.
More signs will follow, but currently there are eight historic markers and two commemorative historic street signs in the borough with two more commemorative street signs set to be unveiled during our June 24 Fort Lee Film History Jitney Tour.
The Fort Lee Film Commission also produced, via a Bergen County History Grant, a film history map of Fort Lee that is available free to the public; you can get a copy at the at 1588 Palisade Ave., or at any of the summer-long programs held each Saturday night at 7 p.m. at the outdoor stage of the at 1355 Inwood Terrace from July 7 through Sept. 8. These maps will also be available at our June 24th Film History Jitney Tour. Visit www.fortleefilm.org for more information.
So explore Fort Lee via our historic signs and maps, and see your borough as our student historians see it, for at any moment, you may hear the footsteps of General Washington's soldiers on the bluffs of the Palisades, or you may get caught on Main Street and Linwood Avenue in a slapstick chase scene led by Roscoe "Fatty" Arbuckle and Mabel Normand. Or when in the Palisade section of town, you just might get a faint whiff of vinegar fries and hear some muffled screams of kids on the at Palisades Amusement Park.
Our history surrounds us, and all we need to see it is our own imagination.

LOUISVILLE, KY (WAVE) - Former loyal customers of Louisville's own Lynn's Paradise Café are waiting anxiously on how and when they'll be reimbursed for gift cards purchased before the restaurant suddenly closed last week. WAVE 3 has learned there are different responses to those questions.
The restaurant posted on their Facebook page they would let customers know about options Thursday. Chief Operating Officer Patty Schnatter told the Better Business Bureau was told it would be late Thursday or Friday. Customer Shannon Conder said Schnatter told her it would be two weeks.
A gift card from Lynn's Paradise Café was a Christmas tradition for Conder's family. "It was for my dad and his wife. It's something we do every year for them because they always loved going there."
When Conder learned the restaurant suddenly shut their doors for good, Dad was the first call she made to see if he'd use any of the $80 dollar gift card. He hadn't. "I just want my refund so I can go and get my dad and his wife an actual Christmas gift that they can use."
Louisville Better Business Bureau President Charlie Mattingly says sometimes in these situations, customers don't get anything back. "The honest truth is you can't get blood out of a turnip. If there's not money available for refunds, sometimes people do end up losing money on gift cards unfortunately."
Lynn's is a member of Louisville's BBB and Mattingly doesn't think a lack of money will be in a issue. He said at this point if Lynn's is saying they will have an announcement, customers should wait to see what that is and then follow their instructions.
Customers who paid with a credit card can contact the credit card company immediately. They may be able to reverse the charge.
For those like Conder who paid cash, he recommends contacting the BBB. Especially since Lynn's was a member, the BBB can act as a liaison between the gift card purchaser and company to hopefully get the money back. Mattingly says they have not received any complaints yet. An official with Kentucky Attorney General's office says they have not received any either.

Olympic gold medalist Phillip Dutton evaluates Strasbourg in front of a crowd of over 500 people.
By Melissa Bauer-Herzog, @mbauerherzog, America's Best Racing
Spring is the busiest time for horse activities in the Bluegrass with Keeneland's spring meet kicking off the season. So it was only fitting that as Keeneland came to a close on April 26, ex-racehorses were being celebrated at West Wind Farm.
West Wind Farm, located in Lexington, hosted the Thoroughbreds For All event to bring more attention to off-the-track Thoroughbreds and exceeded organizers' expectations when the event sold out.
"We had to up the caterer from 400 to 475 [people] knowing there were going to be at least 500," said Steuart Pittman of the Retired Racehorse Training Project, one of the sponsors of the event. "There were 470 tickets sold and … the [Rolex 3-Day Event] riders and their crews, which was good."
After a dinner, everyone moved to the indoor arena to start the show. The first order of business was to recognize riders who were on Thoroughbreds during the weekend's Rolex 3-Day Event at the Kentucky Horse Park. The Jockey Club's Thoroughbred Incentive Program (TIP) was on hand to recognize the riders and give them gift bags.
The first presentation of the night was given by Hall of Fame jockey Chris McCarron, who hopped aboard Bilan, one of New Vocations horses, to show the crowd how to relax a recently retired racehorse. He started off the presentation with a question: What is the first thing we're trying to achieve when we get on a horse?
The question was one that received a lot of answers from the crowd but in the end, the answer was simple a simple one, "cooperation."
During the half-hour McCarron had in the arena, he entertained and educated the crowd. McCarron spent the time getting his nervous mount to relax while explaining what riders need to do to build a horse's confidence and trust.
"One of the first things I want to do is express confidence in myself," McCarron said. "I want to let the horse know that I'm confident and therefore in control and in charge. Horses want us to be in charge … even the alphas want leaders."
The highlight of the event for many spectators was watching Olympic gold medalist Phillip Dutton evaluate eight Thoroughbreds that had recently arrived at New Vocations.
Before evaluating the horses, Dutton talked about a few changes in racehorse breeding that had changed their demand off the track.
"There has been a lot of emphasis over the last fifteen years for more speed. … From my point of view, the smaller, tighter kind of Thoroughbred is not as suitable to me or to the event world … as the older-style Thoroughbred," Dutton said. "I'm always after [the older-style horse] because I think they have a bit more potential."
Dutton also talked about the gold mine Americans have with the breed and the attributes he liked while training them.
"We are sitting on a lot of talented, very well-bred horses [with Thoroughbreds]. They are full of heart. One of the best attributes is that it is a very forward thinking… that's obviously [a plus] in training."
Dutton looked at the pros and cons of every horse, watching them as they were led around the arena. He explained how some of the faults the horses had wouldn't work for what he needed while others could be overlooked.
Dutton was accompanied by his veterinarian Kevin Keane in the presentation. Dr. Keane noted that there are very few upper-level riders who would turn down a Thoroughbred.
"I think that if a Thoroughbred can be a good enough mover, a good enough jumper, and have a good enough temperament, I think you'd find very few upper-level riders that wouldn't say 'I'd like to be on that Thoroughbred' as opposed to other breeds," Dr. Keane said.
Dr. Keane provided insight on what he noticed in each of the horses shown. The veterinarian treated each evaluation as if Dutton was looking to buy the horse for himself, giving spectators some tips on what to look for and even some perceived faults that he liked in a horse.
While looking at the first horse of the night, Dr. Keane gave an opinion that suits many off-the-track Thoroughbreds looking for a home.
"I like what Anna [Ford of New Vocations] said that he's only made $6,000 as a racehorse," Dr. Keane said. "I look at it as a positive. It's positive because he didn't run very fast so he probably didn't hurt himself very much. So I look at it as being somewhat positive if you're looking to go on to another discipline. It's wonderful to have a stakes winner but they've generally done a lot more in their life."
While a few of the horses from the evaluation were being tacked up, Three Chimneys' Jen Roytz took the stage to educate fans on how racehorses are raised in the early years of their lives.
"Everything is geared toward producing a long-term, sound, and mentally stable athlete, Roytz said. "It is an environment where they are outside - they aren't just in their stalls - they are playing with their buddies."
Roytz also stressed that aftercare is extremely important for Three Chimneys and talked about their aftercare efforts for every Three Chimneys-connected horse. The presentation wrapped up by inviting the crowd to contact Roytz to get on the farm's e-mail list for retired racehorses.
Dutton continued to evaluate horses when three of the horses came back to the ring under saddle. Eric Dierks, Daniel Clasing, and Tracey Bienemann were aboard to pilot the horses around the arena.
The spectators were treated to a mini-clinic type of situation when the riders were directed by Dutton to jump the horses. While there were some small issues that come with jumping untrained horses, they served as another educational segment. Dutton explained what sorts of jumping problems he overlooks when evaluating a beginning jumper and some of the traits he likes to see in a promising prospect.
To end the night, two Thoroughbreds that had been shown in front of the crowd the year before made an appearance. Both horses were ridden around a jumping course and updates were given on their progress. One horse, registered as Waiting For May, was a fitting mount with the Kentucky Derby coming up, as he is by More Than Ready, the sire of probable Kentucky Derby favorite Verrazano.
In all, Pittman was happy with the response and expects that events like this will help increase Thoroughbred popularity.
"A combination of this and some of the other events we have done and the Jockey Club's Thoroughbred Incentive Program is helping [with Thoroughbred popularity]," Pittman said. "There's been a lot of activity … and everybody who sells Thoroughbreds or places them as a nonprofit is starting to see that the market is growing. It's sort of like bring back the V.W. Bug, we're bringing back the Thoroughbred. It's what we all grew up on."

Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Origin of life research needs to question assumptions and search for integration. For example, most authorities assert that water is necessary for the emergence of life, but if it were not, what new possibilities emerge? Where life depends on water , there are two candidate origins, exogenic (cometary) and endogenic (volcanic or cryovolcanic).How does the origin of water affect the possibility, localization and timing of reactions necessary to water-based life? There is water at the poles of our moon and on two of the moons of Saturn, Enceladus and Titan, much of this is in the form of ice mixed with hydrocarbons. Might these conditions also give rise to life? Can we integrate these various questions by thinking about the origin of life not as a question of specific molecules coming into being (an RNA- or protein- or lipid- or sugar-world) but as geologically and geographically-localized chemical ecologies comprised of complex, interactive families of molecules spontaneously giving rise to the ordered constructs when their complexity reaches some critical cusp? Can we relate such geochemical ecologies to the specific forms of life that evolve, thereby explaining the emergence of sulphur-utilizing bacteria in one environment, photosynthetic bacteria in another, and perhaps arsenic-utilizing ones in a third? Questions like these are designed to attract submissions to this special volume that challenge our assumptions, suggest novel interrelationships or present original integrative theories. What have we missed? What kinds of research should we be doing that we are not? What uncut gems have we overlooked or lost by ignoring past classics such as J. D. Bernal's Origin of Life or Harold Morowitz's Mayonnaise and the Origin of Life? We encourage contributors to this volume to facet those gems and to discover some new one as well!
