Four brothers left home for college, and they became successful doctors and lawyers and prospered. Some years later, they chatted after having dinner together. They discussed the gifts that they were able to give to their elderly mother who lived far away in another city.
first said,"I had a big house built for Mama."
fourth said, "Listen to this. You know how Mama loved reading the
Bible and you know she can't read it any more because she can't see very
well. I met this priest who told me about a parrot that can recite the
entire Bible. It took twenty priests 12 years to teach him. I had to
pledge to contribute $100,000 a year for twenty years to the church,
other brothers were impressed.
the house you built is so huge. I live in only one room, but I have to
clean the whole house. Thanks anyway."
"Michael, you give me an expensive theater with Dolby sound, it could hold 50 people, but all my friends are dead, I've lost my hearing and I'm nearly blind. I'll never use it. Thank you for the gesture just the same."
"Dearest Melvin, you were the only son to have the good sense to give a little thought to your gift. The chicken was delicious. Thank you."
|This guy is in a plane when he feels thirsty. So he calls for the stewardess and asks her politely for a Large Whiskey. There's a parrot in the seat next to him, who snaps, "A double Scotch and make it quick." "Yes, sir" the stewardess says, and quickly gets the bird his drink - but ignores the guy. The parrot downs his in one gulp, and says "gimme another." The stewardess gets him a second drink, ignoring the guy again. The guy, meanwhile has been asking for his drink very politely. He then decides to use the parrot's tactics and snarls at the stewardess, "You @#*$% hag, get me my bloody Scotch!" Suddenly a large co-pilot comes out of the cockpit and ejects both the guy and the parrot off the plane.
|As they're falling, the parrot turns to the guy and says, "You know, you're quite brave for someone who can't fly..."

|A drunk is driving with his parrot through the city and his car is weaving violently all over the road. A cop pulls him over.
|"So," says the cop to the driver, "where have you been?"
|"I've been to the pub," slurs the parrot and the drunk smiles.
|"Well," says the cop, "it looks like you've had quite a few.
|"He did all right," the parrot says and the drunk smiles.
|"Did you know," says the cop, standing straight and folding his arms, "that a few intersections back, your wife fell out of your car?"
|"Oh, thank heavens," sighs the parrot. "For a minute there, I thought I'd gone deaf."
|An elderly woman was looking for a pet to be a good companion and not much trouble. The pet store owner suggested a parrot, showed it to her, and guaranteed her it would be a wonderful companion.
|The woman asked if it would behave if she took it to church with her on Sundays. The owner said it shouldn't be a problem, and that she could put him on her shoulder and he would stay there.
|She bought the parrot, and for the next week spent time getting to know him. Assured that he spoke properly and was well behaved, she put him on her shoulder and went off to church.
|Just as everyone quieted down and the sermon began, the parrot looked around, squawked, and said, "It's damned cold in here!" Everyone turned to look at her, and the woman ran out of the church in total embarrassment!
|All the next week, she talked to the parrot, explaining the necessity to remain quiet during church. The parrot understood, so she put him on her shoulder and went to church the following Sunday.
|Once again, just as everything got quiet and the sermon began, the parrot squawked, looked around, and loudly proclaimed, "It's damned cold in here!" Again, the woman ran from the church.
|The next day, she returned to the pet store and explained the embarrassing situation to the owner. Since she didn't want to get rid of the parrot, the owner offered the following solution: "If the parrot does that again, grab him by the legs and swing him around 5 or 6 times, and return him to your shoulder."
|That'll work?" asked the woman.
|"Guaranteed!" exclaimed the owner.
|So, the next Sunday, she took the parrot to church and, sure enough, just as the sermon started, the parrot squawked, "It's damned cold in here!"
|Without any hesitation, the woman grabbed his legs, swung him around 5 or 6 times, and placed him back on her shoulder. The parrot shook his head, ruffled his feathers, and said, "Pretty f --- in' windy, too!"
|An Englishman walks into a bar with a parrot on his shoulder. The bartender asks, "Where did you get that thing? The parrot says, "In England! There are a million of 'em."

A man brought his parrot to the office of a late-night talk show. Knowing that the show was always looking for offbeat guests, the man told the talent coordinator, "If you pull his left leg, he'll sing "The Camptown Races." Pull his right leg, he'll sing "Swanee River." The coordinator said, "What happens if you pull both legs?" The parrot replied, "I fall off the darn perch, dummy!"

|A magician was working on a cruise ship in the Caribbean. The audience would be different each week, so the magician allowed himself to do the same tricks over and over again.
|There was only one problem: The captain's parrot saw the shows each week and began to understand how the magician did every trick. Once he understood, he started shouting in the middle of the show:
|"Look, it's not the same hat!"
|"Look, he's hiding the flowers under the table! Bwaaak!"
|"Hey, why are all the cards the Ace of Spades ?"
|The magician was furious but couldn't do anything; it was, after all, the captain's parrot.
|Then one day the ship had an accident and sank. The magician found himself on a piece of wood adrift in the middle of the ocean -- with the parrot, of course. They stared at each other with hate, but did not utter a word. This went on for a day, then another, and yet another.
|Finally, after a week the parrot said: "OK, I give up. Where's the boat?"
Newsday 6/00
|This lady approaches a priest and tells him, "Father, I have a problem. I have these two talking female parrots, but they only know how to say one thing."
|"What do they say," the priest inquired.
|"They only know how to say, 'Hi, we're prostitutes. Do you want to have some fun?' "
|"That's terrible!" the priest exclaimed, "but I have a solution to your problem. Bring your two talking female parrots over to my house and I will put them with my two male talking parrots who I taught to pray and read the bible. My parrots will teach your parrots to stop saying that terrible phrase and your female parrots will learn to praise and worship."
|"Thank you!" the woman responded.
|So the next day, the lady brings her female parrots to the priest's house. The priest two male parrots are holding rosary beads and praying in their cage. The lady puts her female parrots in with the male parrots and the female parrots say, "Hi, we are prostitutes. Do you want to have some fun?"
|One male parrot looks over at the other male parrot and exclaims, "Put the bibles away. Our prayers have been answered!"
|:On the first day of creation, God created the parrot.
|:On the second day, God created man to serve the parrot.
|:On the third day, God created all the vegetables and nuts of the earth to serve as potential food for the parrot.
|:On the fourth day, God created honest toil so that man could labor for the good of the parrot.
|:On the fifth day, God created cables and ropes so that the parrot could chew through them.
|:On the sixth day, God created veterinary science to keep the parrot healthy and the man broke.
|:On the seventh day, God tried to rest, but He had to clean the parrot cages...
|A burglar broke into a house late one night. As he was loading loot into his bag, he heard someone say, "Jesus is watching you." The burglar was slightly alarmed, but continued robbing the house. Then he heard it again. "Jesus is watching you." After hearing it a third time, the burglar found the source of the warnings-- a smart little parrot.
|"Well, hiya," the
burglar said. "What's your name?"
"Clarence," the parrot replied.
"Ha! What kind of bozo would name their bird Clarence?" the burglar snorted.
|To this the parrot answered, "The same bozo who named his Rottweiler Jesus!"
A man goes into a pet shop to buy a parrot. The shop owner points to three identical-looking parrots on a perch and says, "The parrot on the left costs $500."
|"Why does the parrot cost so much?" asks the customer. The owner says "Well, the parrot knows how to do legal research."
|The customer then asks about the next parrot, to be told that this one costs $1,000 because it can do everything the other parrot can do plus it knows how to write a brief that will win any case.
|Naturally, the increasingly startled customer asks about the third parrot, to be told that it costs $4,000. Needless to say, this begs the question, "What can it do?" To which the owner replies, "To be honest, I've never seen him do a darn thing, but the other two call him Senior Partner."
|A lady went to an auction and was smitten by a beautiful parrot for sale and decided that she must own this gorgeous bird!
|When the bird came up on the block, the auctioneer called out, "How much starting bid for this parrot?" and the lady yelled out her bid of "Seven hundred dollars!"
|..."Eight hundred!" "Eight-fifty!" "Nine hundred!" went the next several bids, and the lady then bidded "One thousand dollars!"...
|Well, the bidding went on this way for several minutes until she found herself the proud owner of an parrot for $1500. She approached the auctioneer and asked him "Can the bird talk?" to which the auctioneer replied "Lady, who do you think was bidding against you?"
Newsday 12/7/98
|A lady was walking down the street to work and she saw a parrot on a perch in front of a pet store. The parrot said to her, "Hey lady! You're really ugly!" Furious, the lady stormed past the store to work.
|On the way home she saw the same parrot again and it said to her, "Hey lady! You're really ugly!" She was incredibly ticked now.
|The next day she walks past the same parrot again and it says to her, "Hey lady! You're really ugly!" The lady was so ticked that she went into the store and said she would sue the store to get rid of the bird. The store manager apologized profusely and promised he would make sure the parrot didn't say it again.
|When the lady walked past the store that day after work the parrot called to her, "Hey lady!" She paused and said, "Yes?" The bird said, "You know."

Interesting show. How tragic. I used to think that when the truth came out everything would change. Well, the truth is all around us. But not yet the seachange the world needs
Time is running out.
...but we still live under capitalism...
Evo, capitalism is a loaded word, mostly due to Marx who twisted it into a straw man in order to vilify private property and free economic exchanges.
Capitalism is an economic system where private parties exchange through a free market. It carries no ideology, unless you absolutely want to consider the natural desires of humans (to be free, to look after themselves and to have their own stuff) as an ideology.
Look around: we live under strong states with lots of control/coercion. We don't live under capitalism.
The US has the highest defense spending, however Russia has excellent hardware and the Soviet Union's hardware is better than most overpriced US garbage today. Russia's current weapons and the ones inherited definitely outclass most US equipment. Then there's troop quality like high amount of obesity and stupidity in the US ranks. Most of that defense spending is waste to fill the coffers of parasitic defense corporations and contractors that are way overpriced. A wise man would throw his cards in the Russian hat.
The fancy theories Bof rightly enumerates are those of monotheism, a notion, once atheized, that leads to ideas of egalitarian democracy, that everyone is fundamentally equal. But people are not equal since character differences are fundamental and not genetic (the latter being the Nazis' error). Nazis' SS and hierarchical system ruling over capitalists contain the nucleus of the future.
The future elite will be based on caste as Nietzsche saw & Sorel intuited. Fools & crooks like Sartre, modern Marxists and Western Left have ignored or misrepresented the situation.
Why Russia & US both call upon Christianity!
[quote name='Bof Thegaffe' time='21.04.2014
I agree entirely. Unfortunately the only way to convey information so the public can understand is to refer to it as Capitalism; or a paradox in linguistics. (The "word"- "Christian" implies the teachings of Christ, yet a lot of Christians agree that the teachings of today are a far cry from what Christ actually taught).
From a religious perspective ("And the word is God" or; "Keepers of the word") reveals a desire to control the word, and not allowing the word to control itself. In short the conquest of all religions.
Very True, Bof...
Why these fancy theories fail? Because they run contrary to human nature.
People desire freedom and to take care of themselves first, which is why communism cannot work. They have ambitions too, and this is why a classless society wouldn't work. They also like a free lunch, and that's why capitalism does not work as a political system.
...but we still live under capitalism in decline since capitalistic owners still rule and engineer the world the way they want. But human caste (character) differences will decide; Nazis pioneered this!
Matt Taibbi is such a great journalist! The world needs more men and women like that, with guts enough to call it like it is. What a man!
...we need to proceed to creating a POST CAPITALIST CLASSLESS SOCIETY. ...Why doesn't socialism work?...
Why these fancy theories fail? Because they run contrary to human nature.
People desire freedom and to take care of themselves first, which is why communism cannot work. They have ambitions too, and this is why a classless society wouldn't work. They also like a free lunch, and that's why capitalism does not work as a political system.
Another way to reach social justice would be to promote better (more virtuous) humans. But that's hard work too.
Misrepresenting a concept then attacking the misrepresentation itself is hardly a way to get ahead. It's confused thinking. Please look in a dictionary under 'capitalism.'
People have to realize the system we live under is not capitalism. In fact, the little capitalism that still remains today is being choked by a strong state, controlled/manipulat ed markets, and the loss of respect for private property.
There are many nametags you can affix to the present system (I personally think it's mostly facism: merger of big corps and the state), but 'capitalism' is probably the one that is furthest from the truth.
The invisible hand is up your president's back.
Thanks for the JP Sottile interview. It all goes back to what you've said earlier Max. The Fiat Currency. Once the money printers are subverted, you don't need Public Opinion. You don't need the Justice System and you don't have a Free Press. Where's my Check? is the new slogan for both the UK and US public. As long as they get their check there is complacency.
NAT O serves the same role as the British East India Company did in India. You can't tell me Europeans don't know this. They have no role in its decision making process.
The love of democracy is fatally naïve. Capitalism has reached its declining phase - and in such a pessimistic era democracy is counterproductive. Democracy is blind to being manipulated by the financial elites but worse still - the masses are too stupid once they do take power with 'genuine egalitarian democracy'.
With such genuine democracy the financial knaves will soon take power once more. The future is not naïve Leninism, where he adopted anarchist slogans then found that the Soviet Union didn't work - hence the NEP. Rather, it will be a caste system to reflect fundamental human differences.
USA needs excuse to intervene militarily in Ukraine as Putin sends in army to rescue persecuted Russian-Ukrainians there. Will it be Yaseniuk to be sacrificed as the centennial Archduke Franz Ferdinand?
Let's not spoil it Max, welcome to Valhöll.
Yours truly
Might I suggest Stephens Stills - Love the one your with.
It is sad that a lot of the West's citizens are oblivous to the fact that U.S./European Corps. are interested in the gas pipelines as well the fertile farmland that the Ukraine posses's.
Will Putin allow the theft of Russia 'breadbasket' to occur?Putin is operating from a 'We can still be friends' positon and will be perceived as 'weak'.The West will be emboldened and push the issue to its eventual conclusion:Russian capitulation or WW3.
Max's guest did a great job in exact referrence to the who's & what's but people should be able to figure it out.The Ukraine conflict is all about resource control/exploitation .
As the USA declines into a third world country...the collateral damage is their warriers.
U S special forces have been committing suicide at record levels for the last two years, the head of the US Special Operations Command (SOCom) admitted in a speech on Thursday.
"Ther e is a lot of angst. There's a lot of pressure out there. My soldiers have been fighting now for 12, 13 years in hard combat. Military suicides increased across the board during that time, to the point that suicides (349) outpaced combat deaths (311) in 2012, according to a Guardian analysis in 2013.

We just wanted to express our sincerest appreciation for what was absolutely the BEST vacation in an ocean condo!! We've always, for the past 22-24 years, stayed with family when we "vacationed"!! This year, we took the plunge. With the recommendation of a friend in New Symrna Beach, who had installed appliances in these buildings, we contacted you and made arrangements to stay for 10 wonderful days!
We drove over 900 miles from Missouri to arrive in NSB! When we opened the door, to our surprise, we found a home away from home, which was very reassuring! Everything we could ask for was there!! We were more than pleased with the comfort of the beds and the furniture provided!! And the privacy was wonderful! The balcony overlooking the palm trees and oaks was very sweet to wake up to and enjoy morning coffee and afternoon drinks! The balcony was spacious and lovely to watch the skyline at night! We enjoyed many meals we made with the provided cookware and dinnerware! We didn't have to bring a thing from our home because it was all there! The decor of the rooms was very nicely assembled and I have tried, since staying there, to model my own home after the condo�s. Each and every decoration was beautifully placed! The colors used in our room, the blues and tan/beige, were quieting and relaxing!! The jet tub was awesome to relax in and let the bubbles just float you away!
You can pretty much gather that our first vacation and 31st wedding anniversary very enjoyable!! We hated to leave a place that was not a tourist attraction and felt like we, if by chance, wanted to relocate to Florida, that NSB would be the area in which to reside!! The security of parking in the covered garage was another comfort in which we didn't have to worry while staying there! We felt very secure and protected in these condos! We have ventured back to your site to look up Oceanwalk 7-302, to relive the moments captured in our minds and we are planning further visits in the years to come. We will not hesitate to book this room in advance! Please do not change anything about it for it is perfect just the way it is!!! --Cathy and David Moran, Kelso, MO, July 7, 2012

Just Read, Families!
Summer Literacy Adventure 2014Florida's First Lady Ann Scott and the Florida Department of Education's Just Read, Florida! Office proudly announce the 2014 Summer Literacy Adventure. As summer is fast approaching, we encourage schools, students and parents to prepare for the summer break by participating in this fun challenge to have students read during the break. Summer Literacy Adventure 2014 (PDF)
Make your Summer Literacy Adventure Pledge here.
Just Read, Families! is a summer reading program which provides parents with information about actively reading with their children during the summer months.
Research shows that children who do not continue reading through the summer can lose a month or more of progress made during the school year. By encouraging their children to read, parents are playing a critical role in achieving our goal of having every child reading at or above grade level. Now is the time to take advantage of the many activities and resources available on this website. Keep your children engaged in reading!
Children are a precious gift, and the opportunity to inspire a love of reading is both a great honor and an extraordinary responsibility. With your help, we can make Florida's reading goals a reality.

This game is very, very bad. There is no point to this game. You can't do ANYTHING but sleep, walk dogs and cats, take a shower, eat, or go to the bathroom. If you really want this game get it for a console (gamecube, PS2, etc.). It's much better for them. I BOUGHT this WORTHLESS piece of junk game...more

Prout goalkeeper Austin Gemma played about as well as anyone could expect a freshman to in game two of Saturday's best-of-three Division II Boys Ice Hockey Championship series between the Crusaders and Lincoln.
Unfortunately for Gemma and his Crusader teammates hockey – like most sports – can be fickle.
Prout outplayed the unbeaten Lions for the majority of Saturday's game at Brown University's Meehan Auditorium but the effort went in vain as Lincoln emerged with a 3-2 victory in overtime to complete the sweep of the Crusaders.
"We definitely set our goals to come back [to the finals] this year," Prout senior Matt Peacock said. "It was a long season, a tough journey, we faced a lot of adversity but we got here with the group of guys that we had."
Prout scored with less than three minutes remaining in regulation to force the extra session but in overtime its season would end rather abruptly.
Lincoln's Griffin Hevey flicked a backhanded shot towards the net just inside the Crusaders' zone that settled on the ice as it slid towards Gemma.
The Prout goalkeeper – who was credited with 49 saves in the game – couldn't get his stick down flat enough on the ice to stop the shot and the puck glided through Gemma's legs and into the back of the net.
For Gemma it was a tough finish to what was otherwise a very good game as he kept Lincoln off the board for the first two periods.
"You just move on," Prout coach John Gaffney said. "It is what it is. They played well, Lincoln did too and they're a good club.
"I think luck was on their side. They hadn't lost a game all year and they weren't about to let it stop tonight."
As it did in game one, Prout struck first Saturday taking a 1-0 lead into the third period after Aaron Deady cleaned up a James Neri shot with 2:10 remaining in the
"We just kept crashing the net," Peacock said. "We were doing it all game, just throwing pucks at them."
The Crusaders could not keep the Lions caged in the third though as a costly turnover from Michael Reilly gave Lincoln's Ryan Krohto the puck right in front of Prout's net.
Gemma stood no chance against the Lion's senior forward as he buried the puck into the top of the net over the freshman goalkeeper's left shoulder with 10:59 remaining in the game.
Less than four minutes later Lincoln took its first lead on the power play as senior Jerzy Polak put home a rebound on the weak side with 7:06 left to play.
As time ticked away the Crusaders' chances of keeping their season alive grew slim but then hope came courtesy of senior Justin Mateus.
"We didn't really give up," Mateus said. "We're a good third period team so we knew we had a chance to get back into it."
Brent Bazinet won a faceoff in the Lincoln zone and the puck settled at Mateus' stick just outside the left circle.
Mateus had a moment to think about where to put the puck and the senior's decision couldn't have been any better, tucking the puck just inside the far post.
"I just tried to time it up," Mateus said. "…I had no one open so I saw the far post open so I just threw it there."
Unfortunately for Prout a third game in the series was not in the cards as Hevey's goal sealed the Crusaders' fate.

6 CNO-to-CEO Strategies
Here are six strategies for nurses who aspire to the corner office:
1. Step out of your comfort zone: Get on a committee that you may not be entirely comfortable with. For example, if you're intimidated by numbers, join the finance committee.
2. Develop relationships: Have a broad view and understanding of your entire organization, not just your little slice of it. Cultivate relationships with people who work in the lab and housekeeping, as well as with physicians and other nurses.
3. Find a mentor: When you encounter someone you admire and who does something really well, make an effort to learn from that person.
4. Get a coach: If you want to be a better tennis player, you wouldn't hesitate to get a coach; why should developing leadership skills be any different? "It's worth the investment to get a coach to help you," says Curran.
5. Understand the numbers: It's not enough to be a good clinician; you have to understand the financial aspect of healthcare, too. Curran believes deans of nursing schools should require finance classes for students. If you didn't take one while you were in school, though, it's not too late to take one now.
6. Value your work: If you're working unforgiving hours, day in and day out, maybe surrounded by people who appear not to appreciate you, it's easy to forget the just how important your work really is. "When someone diminishes the significance of what you do over and over again you start to lose appreciation for it," Curran says. "You lose the awe about how miraculous it is."

Jackeline Biddle Shuler, DNP, JD, RN (6/18/2013 at 1:42 PM)
I agree with this article but there a few other fundamental issues at work with respect to nursing leadership dynamics. First, there doesn't seem to be enough room in healthcare leadership to accommodate executive nurse leaders of color. This is important because it speaks to the lack of commitment to the communities which are being served. Second, there doesn't seem be many opportunities to become an executive nurse leader to begin with. My experience is that getting all the right academic credentials is not enough because there isn't any kind of succession programs to help potential nurse leaders fulfill executive roles. That is how you get nurse leaders being complacent with staying at a CNO role because they know there isn't going to be much competition for that role so there is no incentive to mentor potential nurse leaders to assume that role so that they can assume CEO roles. What I see are executive nurse leaders moving from job to job in a lateral fashion causing what I call "stagnation" in CNO/ VP roles". Therefore, succession programs to get new blood into CNO roles and diversity are also key drivers to engaging more CNOs to want to aspire to CEO positions.
Betty Noyes (6/18/2013 at 1:20 PM)
Connie you are so RIGHT!!! We need to applaud those who have assumed the CEO role and served as Board Members! My experience at both was Great!!

Peak & Prairie
Mountain Chapter's
Online Newsletter
June / July 1999
a labor of love
Want to find a new way to enjoy the mountains and expand your personal horizons doing wilderness hiking? The Sierra Club "Adopt" a trail program of seasonal trail maintenance programs is expanding this year. Most people receiving Peak & Prairie have not experienced the joy of returning to a trail where they have built waterbars, installed stone steps, or did rock work that will last for years.
The "Adopt" program invites you on a free hike with newly sponsored social hour after each day long trail crew - Fun - Food - Drink! Please review your summer schedule and commit to choosing one day to give something back to the wilderness before your time is filled with other activities. Help your club meet its obligation to repair and preserve the public land you use.
The United States Forest Service has very limited resources for normal maintenance projects and is relying on user fees to keep some facilities serviced, including rest rooms and trails. The Sierra Club can make a public statement of support for this agency by increasing its conservation impact through volunteer activity. Pick a project that matches your interest or area of use. Tools and training provided for all levels of physical ability.
We are asking for four crew leaders for the trips scheduled for this summer. The Forest Service in Idaho Springs will provide training on either Saturday or Sunday June 5 or 6 for those interested in leading.
The Civilian Conservation Corp. (CCC) built many projects and trails during the depression era of the 1930s that we use today. Can you imagine the thrill of having your children or grandchildren look at a photo of you in the wilderness and then using the trail or steps that you constructed in 1999? Your labor of love will survive for many decades.
Commit! Call! Come! Get in the picture! Bring a friend! Call Jan Oen or Don Thompson to reserve your spot. -303-320-4895
1999 trips include -
Cub Creek trail south of Evergreen
Herman Gulch off of I-70 (joint project with Colorado Mtn.Club)
Fourteener Initiative, Mt. Bierstadt turnpike project

Nora Dunn gives life to myriad characters in one-woman show
Hedy Weiss Sun-Times Theater Critic August 14, 2013 3:52PM
Nora Dunn (with her dog Petie) is starring in her one-woman show "Mythical Proportions" at Theater Wit. | Michael Jarecki~For Sun-Times Media
"Mythical Proportions," through Sept. 22, Theater Wit, 1229 W. Belmont. $24-$32. (773) 975-8150; TheaterWit.org.
Article Extras
Updated: August 15, 2013 2:48AM
During her five often tumultuous seasons (1985-1990) as a member of the "Saturday Night Live" cast, actress-comedian Nora Dunn developed a slew of characters with a range of temperaments and voices (from Ashley Ashley, the pretentious film critic, to Babette, the volatile French prostitute), while also demonstrating her flair for celebrity impersonations ranging from Imelda Marcos and Liza Minnelli to Martina Navratilova and Joan Baez.
But it is the voice of Joanne, a seven-year-old girl who has been inhabiting the actress' imagination since early childhood, who continues to inspire her. And she will be among the characters Dunn brings to the stage in her new 70-minute one-woman show, "Mythical Proportions," in previews starting Aug. 15 and opening Aug. 19, at Theater Wit.
After attending to her beloved Petie ("a rescued street dog who was full of fleas and bad teeth when she found ME about six years ago"), the Chicago-bred Dunn, 61, sat down for a chat recently. Here is some of what she said:
Q. What is the difference between a stand-up comedy act and a one-woman show?
NORA DUNN: I think there is a feminine energy to my comedy. I don't follow the masculine rules that demand you come out and get a laugh right away. I structure my comedy with a slow build to the laugh, and I think this makes it more poignant, even if I bounce back to the comedy. And the theater audience is different from the comedy audience. I can do darker stuff along with the silly stuff. For example, I tell a true story about an incident I witnessed in New York, when a man dropped out of a tree and began defecating.
Q. Before turning to performing you studied at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Why did you shift gears?
ND: I began at SAIC right afer coming out of Catholic schools where you were told exactly what to do all the time. I drew very well, but I was lost, because no one at art school told me what to do. I still draw, and also make little clay figures of wild animals forced to wear human clothing who are not happy.
Q. You admit to being very introverted, and say you still suffer from stage fright. How did you conquer that?
ND: Early on, when I worked as a waitress, I had to deal with strangers, and that began to free me up a bit. Now, I still have a fear of facing an audience and failing them. But once I'm out there on stage I'm okay.
Q. Who do we meet in "Mythical Proportions"?
ND: The show is made up of four monologues in character, plus several stories about my own mythology. I've been doing Joanna for years — ever since I got a doll as a Christmas gift and created a voice for her. My mom even took me to a doctor who told her not to worry, she was just my 'imaginary friend.' I love her matter-of-factness — the way she responds to things she hears on television but doesn't fully understand. She thinks Mr. Rogers should get out of that unreal neighborhood of his, and that kids from gated communities have limited imaginations. And she really likes "Lockdown," the show that visits prisons.
There's also a sequence about an 87-year-old woman — the first celebrity agent in Hollywood — who is very full of herself. It's partly inspired by stories of film producer Robert Evans. And then there is Mrs. Williams, the 65-year-old African American, who grew up in the era of institutional segregation. Her husband is thrown into crisis when he learns his daughter is marrying a white man, but he realizes he must change for the sake of his grandchildren.
Q. And what about family stories?
ND: Well, I grew up in the Ukrainian Village neighborhood — one of six kids with a mother who could lose it while making peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for all of us, and trying to survive on my dad's salary as a piano player.

Fire crews respond to separate silo, barn fires
Updated On: Aug 24 2012 05:06:40 PM EDT
Fire crews responded to separate farm fires on Friday afternoon.
The first fire happened around 3 p.m. at a silo in Ephrata, Lancaster County, at the intersection of Springville Road and Pleasant View Road.
Officials said farmers were loading silage into the silo when they heard a large explosion at the top.
The blast may have been caused by methane. The cause is under investigation.
Lebanon fire
About 3:30 p.m. Friday, a barn caught fire in South Lebanon Township.
Dozens of firefighters responded to the blaze at the intersection of Obie and Schaffer roads.
It's not clear what caused that blaze.

Besides which, the actress is also likely to be the legal heir of Shandar Amrohi, who is one of the co-owners of Kamalistan Studios (that originally belonged to Meena Kumari and Kamal Amrohi).
This property is also valued at hundreds of crores & is the cynosure of the eyes of several builders.
According to a rumor, the astute business woman that she is, Preity will sell some part of her IPL stake & redevelop the Kamalistan property alongwith a high-profile builder from Pune.
Since the perky Bollywood actress is currently travelling with her team & has no time to even breathe, news reports suggest that she will build on her other dreams eventually.
Stay tuned in!
