As a little girl I loved staying with my Nanny. She was a short plump old lady with salt and pepper short hair, false teeth, a glass eye that didn't always look straight on, and a laugh that filled the room and was contagious when you heard it. She always wore dresses and thick sandals and always loved seeing me, almost as much as I loved seeing her. It was the day before Thanksgiving and I got to stay the night with her and was given the awesome responsibility of helping fix the turkey for Thanksgiving dinner at my Aunt's house the following day. This made me feel like an adult and I couldn't have been more excited. The next day however didn't go quite as planned but nevertheless Thanksgiving happened. On the morning of that Thanksgiving it was extremely early and still dark outside when we woke up. Nanny said it was necessary to be up before the chickens when making a turkey. I thought that should've been up before the turkeys since that was what we were making but whatever Nanny said I believed! I didn't mind being up because Thanksgiving was one of my favorite holidays anyhow. I loved seeing family and playing with my cousins and of course I loved eating all the delicious food. No one cooked like my Nanny. That is a fact that remains true at this present day.
Nanny made it into the kitchen and grabbed a pot from the cabinet and filled it with water and sat it on the stove and turned the burner on. She grabbed her instant coffee from the counter and pulled it over to the stove next to the cup and saucer she had out waiting on the coffee. She leaned on the counter and grabbed a cigarette and lit it and puffed away while she waited on the water to boil. The smoke filled the kitchen and I would watch it and wonder why in the world anyone would want to do such a thing. Once the water started boiling she would dump it in her cup and always spill some out in the saucer and on the counter. She'd take a spoon and fill it with the instant coffee and dump it in the scalding water and stir it real fast until the spoon made lots of clinking sounds in her cup. The coffee had a layer of foam on the top that reminded me of a swirly cloud and I loved the way it smelled. After she fixed her coffee she poured me a glass of orange juice and put two spoons of sugar in it just like I liked it at her house. Of course my mother would never let me have added sugar in my orange juice and since she wouldn't I never would drink it for her. Mom would fuss at Nanny and Nanny just thought it was good I was drinking my juice no matter if it had sugar in it or not. I loved it when my Nanny would tell my Momma how things were. I always agreed with Nanny and would smile real big. Nanny would give me the spoon and let me make the clinking sound with my cup like hers had done with the coffee. She would pack her coffee to the table and spill it on the saucer and the floor the whole way there. She never worried about the spilt mess and I knew it would get cleaned up after she woke up good. We sat at the table and drank our beverages and discussed the menu for the day. Nanny was responsible for the turkey and oyster dressing and everyone else was making desserts and sides to go with it. Nanny continued to drink that coffee with it still just boiling hot and it made me cringe just to think about what that would feel like on my tongue. It never seemed to bother her. She'd sip it loud and smack her mouth afterward and let out a big "ahh" like it helped take the burn away. I had tried that before when drinking hot chocolate but it didn't ever work for me. She got up from the table and went to the refrigerator and got out some sausage and some biscuits she had made up from the freezer.
She'd say, "Jenny, we can't cook dinner for everyone else until we've had a good breakfast ourselves. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. You never need to go without eating breakfast." I couldn't argue with that! My mom cooked but usually not breakfast. I always loved eating breakfast with my Nanny. She sliced the sausage into the iron skillet on the stove and it would hiss and steam as it cooked. I got as close to the stove as she'd let me so I could smell the savory goodness. She'd get a separate smaller iron skillet out for the biscuits and put them in it and warm the oven up while the sausage cooked. After everything was done she'd sit it all on the table and get the grape jelly and apple jelly out of the refrigerator and the Land O'Lakes butter. Every time she'd grab the butter she'd say, "You got to have pure D butter. There isn't any other!" I always agreed with that even though I didn't have a clue what she meant. We sit and ate our breakfast and finished our coffee and juice and decided to get busy on the bird business awaiting us.
After dishes Nanny went to the refrigerator and got the massive bird off the shelf and took it to the sink. She unwrapped all the plastic and began cleaning the innards out of the inside. I couldn't believe she'd stick her hand in that bird and do such a nasty thing. I was rethinking my desire for turkey at that point. She'd watch my face as she cleaned all those things out and giggle to herself when I'd make a yucky expression. She got a big roasting pan out from the cabinet and laid the bird on the pan. She went back to the refrigerator and grabbed the Land O'Lakes butter and say, "You got to have pure D butter. There isn't any other!" Once again I agreed with this statement. She took a whole stick and rubbed it all over that turkey, inside and out. I didn't see any reason to be kind to that poor bird with a rub down at this point. He was a goner. She seemed like she knew what she was doing and I wasn't about to tell her it was silly. If my Nanny knew anything it was how to cook! And Nanny had a heart bigger than Texas and if she wanted to give that dead bird a massage then who was I to tell her not to? After the butter and the seasonings, which were a secret, it was time to stick it in the oven.
Every few hours of cooking she'd get that big bird out and take a big medicine dropper looking thing and squirt the turkey's juice that it was cooking in all over it and plop it back in the oven again. It was a long task cooking a turkey. In between those times we would play Old Maid and help pass the time. Nanny was good at Old Maid and she almost never ended up with that card. I couldn't figure out how she did that.
It was late in the day and we had to get dressed and ready to go to my Aunt's across town. While I got my bath she fixed the oyster dressing. I was glad too because those things stunk! I hated that stuff. I couldn't see how anyone in the world would consider eating it. It was really cold outside that Thanksgiving and nanny started the car to let it warm up. She took the oyster dressing out and said we'd wait and get the turkey very last as we went out the door. I was standing at the bar in the kitchen with my jacket and boots on ready to go. Nanny came back in from the car and went to the oven. She told me to stay far back from the oven while she got the turkey out because it was going to be hot and she needed room to get out the door. I made sure to stay on the other end of that bar. She opened the oven door put an oven mitt on each hand and pulled the oven rack out to get the bird. As she pulled the oven rack out the pan slid and the turkey flew out of the pan off of the roasting rack and across the kitchen floor. I was TERRIFIED! I was just about to cry when without missing a beat she said, "Well let's get in the car and we'll stop at Don Lindsey's Store and get some lunch meat to take to Paula's." She shut the oven door put the oven mitts on the counter and stepped over the turkey and headed out of the kitchen into the living room toward the door. My mouth was gaped open and I walked slowly out of the kitchen into the living room never taking my eyes off that bird. She told me everything was ok and not to worry about that turkey. She said it couldn't hurt anyone or anything anymore.
We got in the car and went to the store and got lunch meat and thanked the man without explaining our dilemma. I wanted to though. I loved informing people of anything I knew about. I was about to bust. She let me hold the lunch meat in my lap and said I could carry it in if I wanted. We rode up the long driveway to my Aunt's. I could see the house from the distance and several cars. We were running late and I couldn't wait to see everyone but at the same time I was nervous about not having the turkey. We parked and I helped Nanny get the oyster dressing out and we rushed up the sidewalk into the house out of the cold. Everyone was thrilled we were there. The turkey was the center point of Thanksgiving and now we could all eat! Well, that's how it was supposed to be. Everyone kept looking and noticed there were no large pans. My Uncle seen the lunch meat I had in my hand and asked where the turkey was. I couldn't hold it in any longer. Like a wave of rushing water I yelled it out to everyone, "Nanny dropped the turkey in the floor at her house and she just ran off and left it there. It's still in her kitchen floor!" My uncle looked like he just lost a member of his family while others laughed hysterically and asked if I was telling the truth. My Nanny got so tickled it made us all laugh. We have never forgotten about our "Year without a Turkey" Thanksgiving. The turkey is and was long gone but the memories remained forever. I would give anything to be standing in the kitchen with my Nanny one more time. I was 4 at the time of this Thanksgiving. I had many more years with my Nanny and lots of good memories were made with her. It's been 11 years since my Nanny has passed. I'm 28 now and I love to cook just like my Nanny did. Even more I love to laugh just like she did. I can almost feel her sometimes when I'm standing at the stove cooking and I never cease to hear her say," You got to have pure D butter. There isn't any other!" when I use butter. Sometimes I say it out loud and sometimes I just hear it in my head and smile and think of her. My Nanny knew the importance of family and she knew how to feed your belly and your soul. She combined the two and everyone was welcome at her house. She showed love and compassion to everyone she met. I pray that I can do the same.
Life as a Mom and Bonus-Mom (I don't like the word step!), Funny, Flawed, Crazy, LIFE in general, grace for the not so graceful, Jesus lover, and an underly over achiever. Yeah that about sums it up!

My Nanny "Toots"

"My Nanny knew the importance of family and she knew how to feed your belly and your soul." – Such kind words you have for your nanny. I guess, you are very lucky to have a very wonderful nanny. Upon reading your post, I see how your Nanny really took care of you and what touched me the most is how you pass on the caring attitude to your children. I'm pretty sure she's proud of you and what you have achieved.ReplyDelete

Two own goals, one missed penalty and one red card. That sums up the first leg of D.C. United and the New York Red Bulls' Eastern Conference semifinal and it is unlikely to get much better in the second leg. With a storm that will bring rain, wind and maybe even snow to Red Bull Arena, both teams will struggle to do much pretty or positive, if they even try to.
Hans Backe sent his Red Bulls team out at RFK Stadium seemingly happy to take a draw and for good reason. Draw away and leave yourself one match at home to advance is a sound strategy. Thierry Henry seemingly forgot how to sprint and even once they went up a man, the Red Bulls never seemed compelled to go forward. At that point, with a man advantage, maybe they would have been wise to seek out a winning goal, but an away draw still did them well.
What did not make sense was D.C.'s conservative nature. Ben Olsen, in his first major test as a manager, either failed or had supreme confidence in his team to do the job at Red Bull Arena. With New York essentially daring D.C. to attack their right, United refused to. With the Red Bulls' back line in shambles, United couldn't figure out how to consistently challenge them, even if by simple Route 1 tactics.
Own goals by Bill Hamid and Roy Miller later, United and the Red Bulls were heading to the second leg all level. This time, the weather will make it very difficult to play, which doesn't exactly inspire much confidence in a more entertaining match.
The Red Bulls have a few easy ways to give themselves more punch going forward, most notably starting Kenny Cooper and getting Henry to actually run. Combine that with a home match and believing in New York isn't quite so hard (just pretend that their entire history of failure has been wiped from your mind).
For United, it isn't quite as easy. If they are going to continue to play with to holding midfielders, without Dwayne De Rosario and now no Andy Najar, who is suspended after his red card in the first leg, Olsen is going to have to get creative. Unfortunately for D.C., Olsen hasn't even dabbled in the creativity pool before.
Odds are, the second leg won't have two own goals, a missed penalty or even a red card. It won't have such defensive tactics on both sides either, but toss in some nasty weather and it won't be much prettier. Still, someone has to go to the Eastern Conference final, or so we're told.

Great Dane:
The Great Dane was a hunting breed that changed to a working breed. Pennsylvania was a hunting Commonwealth that became a leading working community. The Great Dane came from England just as did William Penn, the founder of this Commonwealth. The Great Dane is pictured in a painting in the Governor's reception room by Pennsylvania artist Violet Oakley as the "Best Friend" of William Penn. Naming an official dog would recognize the service and loyalty of all dogs in Pennsylvania.

The findings, published in Cell on March 4, underscore the idea that cancer and regeneration are closely related. "We have found a molecular switch that tells your skin to keep growing or stop growing," says Fernando Camargo, PhD, the study's senior investigator and a principal investigator in Children's Stem Cell Program. Camargo and colleagues manipulated a molecule called Yap1, already known - from studies in fruit flies - to cause massive tumor growth by triggering a pathway known as Hippo (so named because of the enormous size of the tumors). When they suppressed Yap1 function in mice, their epidermal skin stem cells failed to expand and they had thin, fragile skin.
The opposite was also true. "The more Yap1 you have in your stem cells, the thicker your skin grows," says Camargo, who is also a member of the Harvard Stem Cell Institute.
However, activation of Yap1 also caused the mice to develop squamous-cell carcinoma-like tumors, the researchers found.
They further showed that Yap1 is inactivated by a known tumor suppressor called alpha-catenin, which binds to Yap1 and keeps it outside the cell nucleus. In both mice and human squamous carcinoma cells with alpha-catenin mutations, Yap1 returns to the nucleus and becomes active again.
"Alpha catenin is silenced in many types of epithelial cancer - skin cancer, colon cancer and other squamous cell cancers," says Camargo. "When alpha catenin is absent or mutated, you get an overgrowth of cells, but until now it was unclear why. Our work suggests that over-activation of Yap 1 is likely what drives these cancers."
Alpha-catenin is known to be able to sense the density of cells in its immediate environment, and perhaps even their type. Camargo's team revealed how the information is used: When cells are packed too tightly, alpha-catenin inhibits Yap1 - the first demonstration of a direct link between an environmental cue (cell density) and a molecular regulator of organ size. Until now, little has been known about what maintains organs at a specific size.
"Through Yap1, alpha-catenin tells epidermal stem cells to either proliferate or not proliferate, depending on the needs of the tissue," Camargo explains.
Now that the "switch" for skin growth is known, manipulating it could provide ways to grow skin cells when they're needed or, conversely, to stop cancerous growth. Camargo's group is conducting screening tests to find small molecules that mimic Yap1, to induce skin regeneration at the site of a wound, or that inhibit Yap1 to treat skin tumors. The team is also looking for other molecules that may also interact with Yap1.
Karin Schlegelmilch and Morvarid Mohseni of Children's Stem Cell Program and the Harvard Stem Cell Institute were co-first authors of the study. The study was supported by the Stand Up to Cancer-AACR initiative, the National Institutes of Health, the Whitehead Institute Fellows Program, the V Foundation for Cancer Research and the Pew Charitable Trusts.

RCN warns that the 'NHS is sleepwalking into a crisis'
The Royal College of Nursing (RCN) has warned that the NHS is "sleepwalking into a crisis", saying that huge staff reductions come as there is a soaring demand for care.
The ageing population and the increasing number of people living with long-term conditions mean that demand for services continues to rise.
The organisation is calling on ministers to prevent NHS trusts from "continuing with this damaging agenda of cuts" that "impact on patient care".

LAS VEGAS — The Rockies and Rays have agreed on the parameters of a deal that would land Colorado right- handed reliever Jason Hammel, but Tampa Bay is still mulling other offers.
The Rockies would send Double-A pitcher Aneury Rodriguez to the Rays, whom Tampa Bay scouted heavily in Tucson last week.
Tampa Bay, however, has scheduled Hammel to throw in a minor- league game Sunday in a last attempt to increase his trade value to multiple suitors.
Hammel, 26, profiles well for the Rockies. He's relatively young with experience as both a big-league starter and reliever. Hammel's arrival could squeeze Juan Morillo off the roster and possibly affect Matt Belisle's anticipated promotion Friday. Hurdle called Morillo "a work in progress" Saturday.
Morillo has drawn mild interest from the Florida Marlins. Hammel is competing with Jeff Niemann and Lance Cormier for the Rays' fifth starter job. Hammel and Niemann are out of options and are being shopped. The Rockies aren't nearly as interested in Niemann.
The deadline to set opening-day rosters is 1 p.m. Sunday.

Twice during the past two games, Fowler caught a ball in right field, calling off Brad Hawpe. Don't be surprised if his playing time grows at cavernous Coors Field.
"Some people have special talent, and he has it," Hawpe said.
Footnotes. The Diamondbacks will run out, in order, Brandon Webb, Dan Haren and Doug Davis for the opening series. Davis is a left-hander, meaning Fowler could start Wednesday and Friday against Philadelphia's Cole Hamels. The projected members of the Triple-A rotation are Jason Hirsh, Greg Reynolds, Greg Smith, Brandon Hynick and Josh Fogg, who has drawn interest from the Orioles but is expected to accept a Triple-A assignment.
Rockies Recap
At the plate
Seth Smith came off the bench and got two hits, including a game-winning single off the left-field wall. "Closed my eyes and swung hard," he joked. Smith appears ready to start in left on opening day after missing five days because of the birth of his daughter and a sore right foot after fouling a ball off it.
On the mound
Jason Marquis provided a typical blue-collar effort, yielding four runs in six innings on 89 pitches in his last rehearsal before Friday's home opener. "This is as good as I have ever felt leaving the spring," he said.
In the field
Garrett Atkins made his first start at first base this spring and looked rusty.
Up next
Opening day, Monday, Aaron Cook vs. Brandon Webb at Chase Field, Phoenix

Why is the VPD waiting 8 months after the fact? Jeez, get it together. How hard is it to put the information up on the News the same day or at the latest the next. And they want to silence the scanners. The scanners could provide valuable information to the VPD, but no, we don't want the criminals to know what's going, let alone the law abiding citizens. Let's wait several months before we ask the general public for help. Give me a break. Yea, we sure are cracking down on crime.June 9, 2010 at 10:12 a.m.

By leaving her wallet in plain view and with easy access, the lady was doing something that probably wasn't very smart, but the theft wasn't her fault. The fault lies with the thief. How many times have you seen something laying around and you took it just because you could? Never? That's what I thought. An honest person can see things like that and it never occurs to them to take them. A thief will always look for an opportunity to be a thief. While she was perhaps negligent in her lack of vigilence, the theft was the fault of the crook.June 9, 2010 at 7:39 a.m.

Politico: Olbermann Suspended Because He Refused To Apologize On Camera
Did MSNBC suspend Keith Olbermann because he refused to apologize for his campaign finance activities on camera?
That's what Politico's Mike Allen is reporting Sunday (h/t Mediaite):
Network sources tell Playbook that Keith Olbermann was suspended because he refused to deliver an on-camera mea culpa, which would have allowed him to continue anchoring "Countdown." Olbermann told his bosses he didn't know he was barred from making campaign contributions, although he is resisting saying that publicly.
Allen goes on to point out that Olbermann mightn't be as much in the driver's seat at MSNBC as he used to be.
At $7 million a year, his salary is quite lofty given his ratings, especially as Rachel Maddow and Lawrence O'Donnell who both make far less are drawing roughly the same number of eyeballs in their respective time slots.
As Olbermann has always had problems with his employers wherever he's worked, maybe this incident was enough for MSNBC management to finally wonder whether he's really worth what they're paying him.
Stay tuned.

I call BS on this "story." Why did Rachel Maddow use Olbermann's issue as a hammer to beat on FNC? What went on behind closed doors with Olbermann and Griffin? It's nothing but speculation on my part, but I think the characters at MSNBC are using this story as a platform to claim they're better than the "illegal" right-wingers at Fox.
Compared to these donations ($7200?), Olbermann's nightly rants appear to be In-Kind Contributions which heavily outweigh this paltry amount.
They want to silence FNC and this looks to be a pre-planned way to try.

I love it. When they tell Maddow to shut her trap, she's going to shut it, because she wants to keep it running.

Put him back on the air. He is an asset to the conservative movement while on the air. NBC knows that he drives away people who buy stuff and frequent their advertisers. That is why he is not on the NBC Sunday night football program as he was last year, to many people complained about him and his airbrained opinions.
I don't know how the ownership change from GE to Comcast will affect how MSNBC is operated and this episode might be a first indication of Comcast being a little more hands on where it comes to running the biz.

It's not like he did something on the air that offended people.
I can't imagine the bosses expecting him to apologize on air for this.
Unless Phil ("thinks he's my boss") Griffin knew that this would be the one thing that would make Olbermann dig his heels in and give him an excuse to fire...oops...suspend him indefinitely.
But even that's ridiculous, because Griffin didn't need an excuse.

Griffin Does Need An Excuse.
Submitted by Tenebrous on Sun, 11/07/2010 - 5:24pm.
Griffin does need an excuse. He needs to mantain cred with Olberman's audience. If he doesn't, then the other shows will suffer. Even a flimsy pretence of ethics is enough for liberals, but if he says nothing, then the whole rumor/hype/conspiracy drive will hit warp 9 by this time next week.
Griffin does not have a problem with abysmal ratings, or he'd cancel the show. He doesn't have a problem with a leftist lineup, because running the shows he does is a conscious choice. He may have a problem with Olberman, but he needs to keep his ratings (such as they are) going.
Now, move along and get back to trashing Tea Party candidates, Motherbelt. After all, it's what you're best at.

Well, I tend to give Politico the benefit of the doubt in this instance. Only they would know the mental state of scumbags and treasonous degenerates in the media. I trust their aptitude in that regard.
But... I don't care.
Fox News has double the ratings of any other news outlet for a reason. They aren't communist whores. That's it. Everyone else in the MSM is. There's no secret here. Olbermann is just the latest casualty of commi blowback.
And Fox News isn't even a great Conservative news outlet. But they aren't communists, like the rest of you- including Politico. And in this world of thieving whores and lying bastards, that's everything.
To me Politico literally is a ghetto Marxist Politburo. From observations of mental wards and Yankee Walmart's, I know the mentally ill can smell their own. So I defer to their judgement when it comes to Uberdick's demise.

Olbermann. Rats; was wishing for the NPR/Juan Williams
Submitted by Gary Hall on Sun, 11/07/2010 - 2:20pm.
Olbermann. Rats; was wishing for the NPR/Juan Williams angle, where NPR was sitting back looking for a reason to fire him. Of course, NPR was off base on that, as Williams was doing what Obama ran his campaign on - everyone getting along. And what a better way to do it, than by being open and willing to communicate - and debate - your views with others in a public setting.
In MSNBC's case, I was hoping to hear that NBC was coming to it's senses, and at least looking for the easy way to get this hate monger off the air - because of ... well, here's a good example:
Note. On Howard Kurtz's "Reliabe Sources" today, in addition to wondering out loud if the media was giving Republicans too easy a time, (wow!), made the analysis that NBC's Brian Williams was straight newsman. Right - the guy who continues to push, among other lies, the view (apparently his view, that President Bush was a racist - did not like black people - that Katrina would have been different if it were a white city.

Can you say "train wreck"?
Submitted by PrairieSky on Sun, 11/07/2010 - 2:28pm.
I don't think I've ever seen such a disorganized, unprofessional mess in the media (or anywhere else for that matter) as what MSNBC is right now. If I worked there, I sure wouldn't admit it to anyone.
Whatever the real reason is that Olbermann was canned for (because this "he wouldn't apologize on-air" story is very suspect), I do think it all boiled down to his just being more trouble than he was worth...Especially given the fact that he was pulling down 7 million a year, to generally be a huge pain in the a$$. That said, I cannot believe that there are no other on-air employees at MSNBC who haven't given money to Dems, and after Tuesday night's disgraceful and embarrassing performance by virtually all of their on-air people, none of those folks should have a job today. Olbermann has a long history, just about everywhere he has ever worked, of not working and playing well with others, including his bosses, and it's a distinct possibility that he may finally have worn out his welcome. Time will tell.

Unlikely Story
Submitted by xraynova on Sun, 11/07/2010 - 4:54pm.
It's hard to believe that olbermann, a liberal opinion guy, got suspended for contributing to liberal causes.
Seems to me, that olbermann was actually, a walking advertisement for all things FoxNews.
It doesn't take long for normal people (who might channel surf to his show) to realize this guy is incurably incoherent, with political arguments lacking in veracity and depth.
As a result, transitory viewers have to wonder (as olbermann obsessively and compulsively denigrates FoxNews and Foxnews personalities) just how bad things are, over at Fox... so, they change over to Fox and of course, stay there.
As a result, olbermann has done much more for FoxNews than for MSNBC. Perhaps FoxNews should pay him a gratuity for the fine job he's doing increasing their audience.

I'm Fanposting this so it doesn't get lost in the comments. Again.
Last week LincolnParkWildcat and I met up before the Vanderbilt game to drink beers and do football things. We had a grand ol' time doing these things and want to share the love with the rest of the Sippin' On Purple community. There's always a lot of talk about doing this so let's go out and put some faces to those names that we all have come to know and... well know.
We met in the east lot just south of Spac before the game, and there weren't a lot of people there so plenty of space. I'll probably bring beers again. LincolnParkWildcat mentioned something about bringing bags but I don't know what we're going to need so desperately to carry... Ah well maybe we can turn it into a game of some sort.
So let's, like, not be weird internet shut-ins and go have a good laugh about internet memes and such before we win our first game against a team that's actually got a win under their belts.
Woo! I guess commence planning in the comments.

The Directors Guild of America has, for the first time, nominated reality TV shows as part of their annual awards. Among comedies, dramas, musical variety, daytime serials, and kids' shows, reality TV shows now have their own category.
In a statement, DGA President Michael Apted said the "Awards represent an opportunity for the Guild to recognize this vital role and to honor the broad range of excellence found in television directing today. As we celebrate the inauguration of the DGA Reality Television Award this year, I offer my congratulations to the first five nominees — their work is a strong testament to the importance of the director's role in this genre."
For some reason, Penn & Teller's Showtime series Bullshit is nominated, even though, in terms of its format and style, it's absolutely nothing like the others. And Mark Burnett series such as Survivor and The Contender were ignored.
Here are the nominees for Outstanding Directorial Achievement in Television in reality programs:
- Ross Breitenbach, Brat Camp — "Episode #104″
- Tony Croll, Three Wishes — "Episode #1, Pilot"
- Star Price, "Penn & Teller: Bullshit!" – "Circumcision"
- J. Rupert Thompson, Fear Factor – "Heist Fear Factor, Season 6 Premiere"
- Bertram Van Munster, The Amazing Race – "Episode #805″

The city of Boston is taking action against a youth boxing coach who was the subject of a Fox Undercover investigation.
City officials pulled Tom Lee out of the South Boston Boxing Club last month after Fox Undercover discovered his pattern of unsportsmanlike conduct.
Now they're allowing Lee back in as the director the program, but with several conditions that officials hope will prevent another outburst of questionable conduct.
"The behavior is unacceptable. Whether you're in a coaching program or you're there with your child, it's an outburst that was unnecessary," said Daphne Griffin, Executive Director of Boston Centers for Youth and Families.
The 2007 outburst Griffin is referring to showed Lee yelling at officials after his boxer, who happened to be his son, lost a bout.
The video also shows Lee throwing the second place trophy his son received.
Letters written by USA Boxing, the national governing body of amateur boxing, reveal a pattern of unsportsmanlike conduct which resulted in two suspensions in the past two years, for other incidents.
In March, USA Boxing wrote, "Tom Lee should seriously contemplate how his use of obscenities and his lack of control appear to be rubbing off on his boxers."
USA Boxing reinstated Lee in September. Despite Lee's history, the city of Boston has decided Lee can remain as director of the program.
"While that particular behavior wasn't exemplary by any means, it certainly did bring to light kind of the stories and the impacts that he's had for different families," said Griffin. "And overall his strong commitment to kids and parents that come from very diverse backgrounds."
But Griffin says the city still has concerns and even though it's allowing Lee to return to the boxing club, it's also requiring him to take part in a coaching training program and reminding him to comply with the city's Code of Conduct.
Griffin also says the city will be now be monitoring Lee's behavior and won't hesitate to take further action, up to suspending the entire program.
Lee once again declined a request for an interview, but he did send Fox Undercover a statement in which he blamed internal politics at the New England Association of USA Boxing for his two suspensions.

Baltimore Basilica repairs to begin
BALTIMORE - Repairs are expected to finally begin on Monday on the Baltimore Basilica. They should last seven months.
They were supposed to start the work last week, but it got pushed back.
Last year's 5.8 magnitude earthquake caused cracks and some structural damage.
It's expected to cost up to $5 million, but most of it will be covered by insurance.
Weekend services and weddings will continue as scheduled during the project, but regular tours will be limited.

17th-Rounder Ryan Hafner Got $450,000 Bonus
Well, this is interesting. Baseball America reports that the Pirates paid a $450,000 bonus to Ryan Hafner, making him the second most expensive signing after the 10th round by any team so far. I simply didn't realize Hafner was so highly regarded. That can happen with draft prospects. Pirates Prospects wonders if this move suggests the Pirates might be moving away from higher picks like seventh-rounder Austin Kubitza and tenth-rounder Zach Weiss. That would make sense - what the Pirates have done in previous drafts is take a guy early on that they might not sign, and then pick a couple guys in later rounds as backup plans in case they don't. For example, the Bucs didn't sign second-rounder Tanner Scheppers in 2008, but they gave 20th-rounder Quinton Miller $900,000 right before the deadline.

Normally, draft talk wouldn't start until maybe late April, if not May or early June. But with the lockout having no apparent end in sight, let's talk about 3 ball players that could be on the Jazz's radar come draft time. Depending on how good the reception is on this post, I'll post occasional insights on key college guys.
A few things we don't know: for one, where will we be drafting? We have the potential to have 2 lottery picks or no picks at all. Second, what needs to we have? That is a difficult question to answer without having seen Hayward or Favors in their second seasons, how Burks and Kanter will pan out, or what Harris will be like in his first full year as starting PG.
All the same, let's look at three guys we should keep tabs on as their season progresses.
1. Austin Rivers- Duke, SG
Son of former NBAer and Celtic head coach Doc Rivers, Austin's best attribute may well be his pedigree. Early season averages are 13.3 points and 2.5 assists.
Strengths- He is billed as a strong scorer. Has a good outside shot and seems to be able to drive to the ball well (his mechanics seems decent, but he's struggling with that right now) Seems to draw fouls at a decent clip.
Weaknesses- might have some attitude problems- at the least , he seems immature. Struggling so far this season. Sebastian Pruiti has a great write-up on why that might be. From what I've seen, Rivers is all but useless on offense without the ball in his hands. I'm drawing from a small eyeball sample, but he just is really ineffective without the ball.
How would he fit with the Jazz? Rivers has potential to be a go to scorer. That is always in demand. However, his skill set may be identical to Alec Burks, and they play the same position (don't be fooled into the idea that Rivers is a PG) Again, without knowing if Burks will pan out or not, it is difficult to tell how Rivers would fit into the team right now.
UPDATE: Here is a Chad Ford article on Rivers.
2. Anthony Davis - Kentucky, PF
Why on earth would we draft ANOTHER PF when we have 6 PF/Cs under contract, 2 of them recent lotto picks? Well, Davis might be one of those can't miss prospects. So far he is averaging, 12.8 points, 7.8 boards and a whopping 4.5 blocks. He's a good defender, and if he can be a good interior defender we may well have to draft him and figure the rest out later. Of course, he'll be a top 3 pick, and where the Jazz's picks project to be in the 7-14 range, he'll be long gone. He had a late growth spurt, so he has the skills of a wing, but the size (6'10") of a PF/C. The biggest knock on Davis is his weight. Only 220.
3. Myck Kabongo- Texas, PG
Averaging 12 points, 4 boards and 6.3 assists so far. 4 boards for a PG is especially impressive. The kid is a floor general- frequently compared to Rondo. Texas runs a flex offense based on the Jazz's. He could have a seamless transition running our O. The big knock on Kabongo is his shooting- an appalling 34.8% from the field and 14.3% from the 3 point line. That is bad. Dreadful bad. Also, he is small in stature- 6'1", 169.
4. Tim Hardaway, Jr. - Michigan, SG
Son's of famous dad's always have a lot to live up to, poor kids. John Quincy was no John Adams. Many a King's son ruined their father's kingdom. Patrick Ewing Jr. or David Stockton are not the HOFers their fathers are. Same for poor Tim Jr. He'll never be as good as his dad. But he is pretty good in his own right. He's a 6'6" SG, but a but a bit light at 185. He's averaging 14.3, 2.3 boards and 3 assists, but his best game was today vs Memphis were he had 21-7-5. His FG % is a respectable 48.5%, with about 35% from the 3. Chad Ford tweeted on him today
Really nice game from Tim Hardaway Jr. Lots of scouts here impressed with him both in game an in practice. Possible 1st rd pick?
Like this tweet says, Tim is only a "possible" first round pick. This is a guy the Jazz could look at if they somehow have a great season, or in a trade acquire a late first round pick. I see him as a rotation guy. I doubt he'll be a star like his father, or even a career starter, but I could see him fulfilling the same type of role Deshawn Stevenson did for the Mavs last season or what Shandon Anderson was to the late 90s Jazz. Something along those lines. But his stock seems to be rising, so keep an eye on him.
The next batch of players I'd be interested in working on would include Gators Brad Beal and Patrice Young, Harrison Barnes and possibly one of the Kentucky wings like Gilchrist or Jones. Let me know if any of you are interested.

New Report Says Rhode Island Can Benefit From Wind Power
Wednesday, December 05, 2012
Power generation from wind energy projects currently under construction could displace as much global warming pollution as taking 1,000 cars off the road per year, according to a new report released by the Environment Rhode Island Research & Policy Center.
The report, titled Wind Power for a Cleaner America: Reducing Global Warming Pollution, Cutting Air Pollution, and Saving Water, details wind energy's environmental benefits to date, as well as future benefits if wind power continues to grow.
Channing Jones, a spokesman for the organization, praised the Obama administration for announcing competitive lease sales for wind energy development in areas off the coasts of Rhode Island, Massachusetts, and Virginia, and urged Congress to extend critical federal incentives for wind power—the renewable energy production tax credit (PTC) and the offshore wind investment tax credit (ITC)—before they expire at the end of the year.
"Wind power is already replacing the dirty and dangerous energy sources of the past and creating a cleaner, healthier future for Rhode Island," Jones said. "We can continue on this path of cutting dangerous pollution if Congress acts now to extend critical wind incentives. Our message to Congress is clear: Don't throw wind power off the fiscal cliff. Our clean air, water, and children's futures are too important to blow it now."
The report was released one day after the commissioning of the wind turbines at the Narragansett Bay Commission's Field's Point wastewater treatment facility.
In Rhode Island, wind energy represents an important resource to help the state meet its goal of producing 16 percent of its electricity from renewable energy sources by 2019, a target made possible in part by key federal tax credits––the production tax credit (PTC) and the offshore wind investment tax credit (ITC). Wind energy now powers nearly 13 million homes across the country and is on its way to being cost-competitive with traditional fossil fuels. But these two federal wind power incentives expire at the end of the year. Without these credits, many planned wind farms will not be built.
Despite the benefits of wind energy and widespread public support for federal policies to promote renewable energy, fossil fuel interests and their allies in Congress are vigorously opposing the PTC and ITC.
Democratic State Rep. Chris Blazejewski, a member of the House Environment & Natural Resources Committee said the state needs to take advantage "of the important environmental and economic benefits of wind energy."
"With the increasing risks of rising sea levels, extreme weather patterns, and volatile foreign energy sources, Rhode Island needs to look to wind power as one way to lessen carbon emissions, strengthen our energy independence, and grow the local green economy in the 21st century," he said.

I would be all in if the investments were being made in the USA not just by the USA.
We the taxpayers are funding international development and paying international wages that help other countries; this does not make sense especially with our economy.
Any monies allocated must have a mandate of "Made in America".

Yes, after over 20 years of subsidies of all kinds
The total cost of WTG electrical power is significantly higher (even with massive subsidies). This unfortunate situation will continue in the future. If a so called disruptive technology cannot have a market penetration after 20 or 30 years of well over 30% then it is time to stop the finical bleeding. Yes, to continue would be economic terrorism on the utility rate payer and the tax payers. With a companion continued looting of local, state and national treasuries. The WTG technology does not integrate well with the power grid and lacks predictability and reliability. I suggest that you watch Netflix "WindFall" for an excellent citizen's overview. Yes, "WINDFALL" takeaway is that WTG have their own dirty laundry. Yes, very long list that must be understood. . OBTW we have not generated electrical power from oil for well over 35 years. Finally global warming is a counterfeit magical thinking intended to distract the citizen for their necessary adult critical thinking process. The natural climate cycle driven by solar activities et al and earths water vapor are believed to be the engine of climate cycle and man can do little or nothing to impact never mind attempting activates towards intervening e.g. the present weather manipulation. Yes, today a political cult of true believers has drunk the kool aid of junk science and bunko agendas. The only thing is what they believe is unbelievable. Bottom line this technology is unsustainable, given the exhibited track record to date. While the WTG alternatives near, mid and long term are many!

I mean, a privately-rented seaside resort with room reservations for everyone, designer gowns and dresses, and top-end food and booze served off of fine china don't exactly add up to six figures. Unless, of course, you're getting married in M E X I C O !!! Yes, Eli, Abby, and the rest of the Manning clan spent a wacky weekend on the Baja Peninsula soaking up rays, knocking back Modela and, oh yeah, hosting a wedding.
Now I, being an ignorant, wealthy, white, Southern male have an impression of Mexico which is most accurately represented thusly:
Having that been said, and keeping in mind that I wasn't there and am rarely, if ever, invited to attend sacred/public events, I will now give you a rundown of the Manning/McGrew wedding with the most precise accuracy imaginable.
12:00 PM - He's showered and ready. His fiancée, a woman, most likely took several hours and cried through at least three separate applications of mascara.
12:25 PM - Eli walks to the local McDonalds and eats the greasiest thing he can find with hopes of curing his hangover.
12:27 PM - Vomit.
1:00 PM - Eli and Archie sit down for a cup of coffee. Archie brings Eli in reeeaaallll close in order to give him the crucial Manning family wedding day secret to success: "Do NOT sire females."
3:00 PM - The ring ceremony. It's beautiful, really. There are tears in the eyes of grown men, beautifully crafted rings made of jewels and precious medals, and much pomp and fanfare.
3:30 PM - The wedding ring ceremony.
3:35 PM - Wedding's over. A limousine awaits Mr. and Mrs. Manning to take them to their reception. The wedding reception, featuring none other than The Library's own DJ Mario, consists mainly of an obese black male screaming "pop yo' pussay" into a microphone over a Ying Yang Twins song off of his iPod.
4:00 PM - Abby and Eli's first dance. Eli, a man not known for his grace, attempts to keep up with his new wife but quickly gives up, exclaiming "I don't know how to 'crank dat' Soulja Boy,' so get off my back!"
4:01 PM - Peyton 'cranks dat' perfectly, looks over at Archie, and screams "Hey Daddy! Look! I can do it!"
5:18 PM - David Cutcliffe falls asleep sitting up.
5:30 PM - Abby throws the bouquet. It is caught by none other than David Tyree.
6:56 PM - Eli and Abby take that one last tequila shot that propels you into a world of debauchery, violence, and amnesia.
5:55 AM - A suddenly awakened Abby Manning jumps from her bed and runs into the bathroom. After a few minutes, she nervously walks out clutching a pregnancy test in her hands. Eli, staring at her through a single half-opened, bloodshot eye inquires to as to exactly what "the fuck" she was doing. Abby, shaking, says to Eli, "your father and every other Spirit board poster told me I had to check, or else. Those Mississippians are desperate, Eli..."

Q. I used to get skin tags removed by my doctor. Then my insurance stopped covering it, as they classified the problem as cosmetic. The collars on the shirts I am required to wear to work were irritating my skin tags, but that's the insurance company for you.
I'm going to try liquid bandage, since I saw on your website it might work. I'll see if this does the trick.
A. We learned about this remedy from readers of this column. One wrote: "This is a note of thanks and appreciation. Several years ago I cut out your column regarding applying liquid bandage twice a day to make skin tags disappear. I never tried it until recently.
"One skin tag kept getting caught in my necklace. I remembered your article and bought the drugstore brand of liquid bandage. To my delight, within a week of applying it twice a day, the skin tag was gone. I've since tried this remedy on additional skin tags on my neck and once again, they have also gone. I can't thank you enough."
Skin tags are benign fleshy growths that frequently appear where the skin folds, such as the armpit, neck or groin. They are not dangerous, but they can be annoying. Dermatologists can remove them surgically, but that could become costly if insurance won't pay.
Although home remedies are rarely tested in a scientific manner, readers of this column have reported success with a variety of treatments. You can read about other approaches at PeoplesPharmacy.com.

Burbank's Colony Theatre Overcomes Financial Crisis; Raises More Than $250,000
The Colony Theatre has successfully raised over $260,000.00, vastly exceeding their end-of-year campaign goal and ushering the once-struggling company into a secure future. The Colony announced the fruits of their labor at a recent invitation-only subscriber event in January, demonstrating that even after 38 years, it still has a few surprises up its sleeve. Artistic Director Barbara Beckley couldn't be happier.
"What a difference a year makes," said Beckley, the mid-sized theatre company's Co-Founder and Artistic Director who, along with a stalwart team of staff, volunteers, and friends of the beloved Burbank theatre, rallied members and long-time supporters for the giving campaign. "In November, an anonymous donor pledged to donate $25,000 if we were able to match it by December 31st. We raised that amount in two weeks. Our benefactor was so impressed by the outpouring of support, he agreed to continue the match through the end of the year. The results were astounding," Beckley added.
Colony theatre supporters stepped up in an unprecedented show of solidarity, giving amounts large and small to the award-winning company whose programming they have enjoyed over the decades. In less than two months, the donors, subscribers and friends of TheColony had given over one hundred-thirty thousand dollars, all of which was doubled at midnight on New Year's Eve. "Hundreds oftheatre-lovers eager to invest in our future opened their hearts and their wallets...needless to say, our gratitude is boundless," Beckley added.
Firm on its feet, The Colony is looking forward to strengthening the organization through expansion, programming, and community outreach. As part of that plan, the theatre has hired their first-ever Director of Development, Karan Kendrick, whose focus will be broadening the theatre's audience base and reach to the community, while building new relationships for sustainability. Kendrick graduated from Spelman College with a BA in Theatre, and Wesleyan College with an MBA in Management. In addition to her work in TV, Film and Theatre as an actress, she has spent over a decade in leadership and development with her arts organization-The Kendrick Academy-in her hometown of Fort Valley, GA. Through her academy, she has built community partnerships with local universities, school systems, and government agencies that have allowed her students to become contributing members of a global arts society. Her areas of expertise include fundraising, community building, arts education, and marketing.
The award-winning Colony Theatre Company was founded in 1975 as a 99-seat Equity-waiver theatre in Silver Lake. Over the years the company was so successful artistically, and built such a large subscriber base, that in 2000 it was able to move into a 270-seat theatrecreated for it by the City of Burbank, becoming one of only a handful of mid-size professional theatres in the LA area that produce a year-round season of plays and musicals, and that employ actors under contract with Actors' Equity Association. The theatre has received countless awards for excellence, and has been listed in the Encyclopedia Britannica Almanac as one of "25 Notable US Theater Companies."
