Kurt Kasznar (born Kurt Servischer; August 12, 1913 – August 6, 1979) was a stage, film, and television actor who played memorable roles on Broadway, appearing in the original productions of Waiting for Godot, The Sound of Music and Barefoot in the Park and had many notable parts in television and feature films.
"A big, glib, dapper man who spoke with an accent, he was almost always cast as some sort of a Continental gentleman," reported The New York Times.
As a soldier in World War II Kasznar was among the first U.S. Army photographers to film the ruins of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.[1]
Kurt Kasznar was born Kurt Servischer on August 12, 1913, in Vienna, Austria-Hungary (today: Austria). His father left the family when Kurt was very young. After his mother married Hungarian restaurateur Ferdinand Kasznar, Kurt assumed his surname. While working as an apprentice waiter at his stepfather's restaurant, Kasznar met director Max Reinhardt and enrolled in his seminars. "There I learned to act, write, build sets and live," Kasznar said later.[1]
At age 11 Kasznar appeared in Der Zirkuskönig (The King of the Circus, 1924), the last movie made by Max Linder, which was filmed in Vienna. Kasznar began working on the stage in 1931, in a performance of Everyman at the Salzburg Festival.[1]
In 1936 Kasznar left Austria for the United States, with Max Reinhardt's theater company.[2] He appeared in Reinhardt's production of The Eternal Road, playing the role of Zebulon in the premiere performance July 7, 1937,[3] and performing at least a dozen roles during the three-month Broadway run of the epic production.[1]
In 1941 Kasznar produced a two-act Broadway musical revue, Crazy With the Heat,[4] which ended as a financial failure. Later that year he was drafted into the United States Army. He was trained as a cinematographer and later served in the Pacific. Assigned to an army photographic unit, he filmed landings on New Guinea and in the Philippines, and the signing of the Japanese surrender aboard the USS Missouri. Kasznar was also one of the first Army photographers to film the aftermath of the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.[1]
While in service, Corporal Kurt S. Kasznar wrote and performed in his only play, First Cousins, which he dedicated "to the thousands of foreign-born American soldiers." Kasznar's play was one of five that won a contest for soldier-playwrights and were published in the 1943 book The Army Play by Play. The one-act plays were performed on Broadway[5] for the benefit of the Sailors and Soldiers Club, and were later staged at Hyde Park for President Franklin D. Roosevelt. In his 2004 study, Staging the War: American Drama and World War II, Albert Wertheim calls First Cousins — which tied for fourth place in the competition — "by far the most effective play in The Army Play by Play collection."[6]
Kasznar's first major Broadway appearance was in the 1950 production of Samuel A. Taylor's play, The Happy Time. He recreated his role, that of Uncle Louie, for the 1952 film version and earned a Golden Globe nomination for his performance. Kasznar also appeared on Broadway as the director in Pirandello's Six Characters in Search of an Author (1955–56), and he played Pozzo in the original Broadway production of Waiting for Godot (1956).
While performing on stage in Noel Coward's Look After Lulu! in March 1959, Kasznar was also playing detective Nero Wolfe in what would have been television's first series based on Rex Stout's characters. Co-starring William Shatner as Archie Goodwin and initially slated to air on CBS in September 1959, the Nero Wolfe series was aborted after a pilot and a few episodes were filmed.[7]
Kasznar created the role of Max Detweiler in the original Broadway production of The Sound of Music (1959–63), for which he received a Tony Award nomination. "When that musical had marked its 1,000th performance, Mr. Kasznar was the only actor who had never missed a show," reported The New York Times.[1] He was discussed as a possibility to re-create his stage role in the film vesion of The Sound of Music, but the role went to Richard Haydn. Kasznar also created the role of Victor Velasco in Neil Simon's Barefoot in the Park (1963–67).
He appeared as Tevye in several productions of Fiddler on the Roof.[8] In 1974–75 Kasznar, Myrna Loy, Edward Mulhare and Ricardo Montalbán toured nationwide in John Houseman's production of George Bernard Shaw's Don Juan in Hell, playing 158 cities in six months.[9] In 1978 he played Mansky in Molnár's The Play's the Thing with "enormous authority," wrote New York Times critic Mel Gussow. "It is the kind of character he has played often, and consummately, on stage and in films."[1]
Kasznar appeared in more than 80 films and television shows, and had a regular role in the Irwin Allen science fiction television series Land of the Giants as Alexander Fitzhugh. His feature films included Lili, Kiss Me Kate, The Last Time I Saw Paris, My Sister Eileen, A Farewell to Arms and 55 Days at Peking.
Kasznar married American heiress Cornelia Woolley following her 1939 divorce from her second husband.[10] The daughter of a New York woolen merchant, Woolley was widely known in the theater world for her philanthropy. She died at home unexpectedly in June 1948, at age 48; at the time, Kasznar was performing in John Houseman's Broadway production of Joy to the World.[11]
Kasznar met his second wife, actress Leora Dana, when they worked together in the Broadway production of The Happy Time (1950). They married in 1950 and divorced in 1958.
Kasznar died August 6, 1979, in Santa Monica, California, 10 months after being diagnosed with cancer. He had no known survivors.[1]

The new release of Maatkit has a useful feature in mk-index-usage to help you determine how indexes are used in more flexible ways. The default report just prints out ALTER statements for removing unused indexes, which is nice, but it's often helpful to ask more sophisticated questions about index usage. I'll use this blog's queries […]
Search Results for: join index
How is join_buffer_size allocated?
When examining MySQL configuration, we quite often want to know how various buffer sizes are used. This matters because some buffers (sort_buffer_size for example) are allocated to their full size immediately as soon as they are needed, but others are effectively a "max size" and the corresponding buffers are allocated only as big as needed […]
Joining on range? Wrong!
The problem I am going to describe is likely to be around since the very beginning of MySQL, however unless you carefully analyse and profile your queries, it might easily go unnoticed. I used it as one of the examples in our talk given at phpDay.it conference last week to demonstrate some pitfalls one may […]
Dropping unused indexes
Vadim wrote some time ago about how to find unused indexes with single query. I was working on the system today and found hundreds of unused indexes on dozens of tables so just dropping indexes manually did not look fun. So I extended Vadim's query to generate ALTER TABLE statements automatically. I also made it […]
JOIN Performance & Charsets
We have written before about the importance of using numeric types as keys, but maybe you've inherited a schema that you can't change or have chosen string types as keys for a specific reason. Either way, the character sets used on joined columns can have a significant impact on the performance of your queries. Take […]
Unused indexes by single query
Usually unused indexes are devil, they waste diskspace, cache, they make INSERT / DELETE / UPDATE operations slower and what makes them worse – it is hard to find them. But now ( with userstatsV2.patch) you can find all unused indexes (since last restart of mysqld) by single query
SELECT DISTINCT s.TABLE_SCHEMA, s.TABLE_NAME, s.INDEX_NAME
FROM information_schema.statistics `s` LEFT JOIN information_schema.index_statistics INDXS
ON (s.TABLE_SCHEMA = INDXS.TABLE_SCHEMA AND
s.TABLE_NAME=INDXS.TABLE_NAME AND

How adding another table to JOIN can improve performance ?
JOINs are expensive and it most typical the fewer tables (for the same database) you join the better performance you will get. As for any rules there are however exceptions The one I'm speaking about comes from the issue with MySQL optimizer stopping using further index key parts as soon as there is a range […]
Enum Fields VS Varchar VS Int + Joined table: What is Faster?
Really often in customers' application we can see a huge tables with varchar/char fields, with small sets of possible values. These are "state", "gender", "status", "weapon_type", etc, etc. Frequently we suggest to change such fields to use ENUM column type, but is it really necessary (from performance standpoint)? In this post I'd like to present […]
Be careful when joining on CONCAT
The other day I had a case with an awful performance of a rather simple join. It was a join on tb1.vid = CONCAT('prefix-', tb2.id) with tb1.vid – indexed varchar(100) and tb2.id – int(11) column. No matter what I did – forced it to use key, forced a different join order, it did not want […]
Using CHAR keys for joins, how much is the overhead ?
I prefer to use Integers for joins whenever possible and today I worked with client which used character keys, in my opinion without a big need. I told them this is suboptimal but was challenged with rightful question about the difference. I did not know so I decided to benchmark. The results below are for […]

Budget proposes pay raise for county employees
Eligible Henrico County employees would receive their first raise in three years as part of Henrico County Manager Virgil Hazelett's proposed 2011-12 budget, presented earlier this month to the Board of Supervisors.
The proposed $1.04 million overall budget (including a $743.6-million general fund) would represent a 2 percent increase from the current budget, with most of that increase coming from fixed cost increases and new grants.
The proposed salary raise of 2.372 percent would be the first bump since FY 2008-09, and Hazelett said it is be possible thanks to a slightly improving economy and continued reductions to various county expenditures.
The budget also calls for a 5 percent increase in water and sewer rates and in water and sewer connection fees but no increase in the county's real estate tax rate of 87 cents per $100 of assessed value.
The water and sewer increases would be used to help fund the construction of the Cobbs Creek Regional Water Supply Reservoir, which will be built in Cumberland County.
Among the proposed cuts: the elimination of 42 vacant positions within general government and 27.5 positions within Henrico County Public Schools' Central Office, and across-the-board operating and capital outlay reductions of 2.5 percent in all areas of general government.
Henrico's general fund revenues have dropped $91.5 million from FY08-09 to FY10-11, but Hazelett said the county's conservative approach to spending has helped prevent officials from having to lay off or furlough any employees during that time.
The anticipated general fund revenues in FY11-12 ($743.6 million) represent a 0.4 percent increase from the expected revenues in FY10-11. County officials anticipate about $273.2 million in property tax revenues during the coming fiscal year – a dip of nearly $3 million from the current budget year – but a slight 1.2 percent increase ($1.2 million) in personal property tax revenues.
Though state funding for education is projected to increase 2.8 percent to $204.7 million, that amount is still less than the county received five years ago. During that time, Hazelett noted, the school system has added nearly 1,000 students and opened five new schools.
Other highlights of the proposed budget include:
• nearly $800,000 in operating costs associated with the Eastern Henrico Recreation Center, which will open on Laburnum Avenue;
• $541,000 for operating costs related to the renovation of the Gayton Branch Library;
• a 10 percent reduction in funding to nonprofit to organizations that request county aid.
Among other items, the proposed Capital Improvement Program budget of $141.4 million would pay for:
• about $100 million in water and sewer projects;
• the renovation and expansion of Fire Station No. 13;
• land and planning costs associated with the replacement of Dumbarton Library;
• the renovation of Pinchbeck Elementary School.
The Board of Supervisors is conducting its annual departmental budget review this week and will hold a public hearing April 12 to solicit public comment on the budget.

'Jingle All the Way 2' is expectedly flawed
Was anyone asking for an extra-large helping of Larry the Cable Guy this Christmas? If so, you can thank Santa Claus for Jingle All the Way 2.
If not, you can be like the rest of us and curse Santa for his folly in creating such a film. Santa, we neither wanted nor needed this.
A follow-up to the much-derided 1996 Christmas film Jingle All the Way, Jingle All the Way 2 isn't so much a sequel as it is an odd kind of remake, offering a few original twists on the original's dad-vs-dad holiday showdown, but also copying large chunks of the original without alteration. > Read more.

I really wasnt trying to open an account at a CU either. I have heard Capital one will accecpt me but again... dont want another inquiry for a decline!
The only CCC that I know that exclusively pulls TU is Barclays. I believe State Farm also does. Other than that, I think it depends on your region as to which CR might be pulled by the majors. Is there some reason you don't want a CU card? With your scores, your chances of a higher CL would probably be with one of the CUs discussed in these forums.
Congratulations on your approval!
You need to call them and find out the details of your approval.

Knoxville (WVLT) -- When Knoxville Police stopped responding to non-emergency calls this morning, drivers were forced to abandon their cars and trucks on the side of the road.
Leaving hundreds of vehicles stuck, many damaged, some not drivable.
Enter the tow truck drivers, left to clean up mother nature's mess.
Chestnut Street Transport and Recovery driver Rick Worthington knew when the calls started coming in at 6:50 a.m., it was going to be a busy morning, but even he couldn't imagine this.
"Oh yeah, yeah. They're everywhere. I think we saw two coming up."
Cars, hundreds of them, left abandoned on the sides of roads, in ditches, down ravines.
In most cases, the drivers are long gone, unable to wait, needing to get to work.
And so, Rick Worthington gets to work, too.
Call by call, car by car.
Some just need towed back to the road.
Others have damage and need repair work.
Some come here, to the Knoxville Collision Center.
"We've had a number of vehicles towed in. It's been pretty much a continuous line of tow trucks today."
Rod Kuhn says by their standards the damage is mostly minor, busted headlights, bended fenders.
"Normally, we'd see three or four cars a day. I think the girls told me as of noon we had 14. We're probably going to get 20 to 25 cars today."
Maybe more, if what Rick Worthington fears actually happens.
And the roads freeze again tonight as the temperature drops.
"We'll be out here all night, I guess!"
And so he's off, to answer another call, tow another car.
All in a day's work that isn't done yet.
When we left that single Chestnut Street crew, they alone, had already towed seven cars.
Some drivers tell us they are on track to break their own personal records for the number of cars they tow in a single day.

Vatican monsignor arrested in currency scheme
VATICAN CITY — The plot involved an armed police escort, a wealthy shipping family and a plan to secretly transport $20 million euros from a Swiss bank account into Italy aboard a private jet. At the heart of the story of greed: a silver-haired Vatican monsignor.
The latest corruption scandal to hit the Holy See unraveled in public on Friday as Monsignor Nunzio Scarano, a Vatican accountant, was arrested in the customs-dodging Swiss bank case. He is also under investigation in a separate case of alleged money-laundering involving his Vatican bank account.

Usefulness of post mortem determination of serum tryptase, histamine and diamine oxidase in the diagnosis of fatal anaphylaxis.
Summary of "Usefulness of post mortem determination of serum tryptase, histamine and diamine oxidase in the diagnosis of fatal anaphylaxis."
The diagnosis of fatal anaphylaxis can be difficult for clinical features may not always be evident in necropsy. Therefore post mortem determination of tryptase and other blood parameters can be helpful in verifying the diagnosis. We compared post mortem tryptase, histamine and diamine oxidase (DAO) serum levels of two patients who had died after a Hymenoptera sting and one patient who died of bronchospasm during anaesthesia with data obtained from 55 control subjects who had died from other causes than anaphylaxis. In the three anaphylactic cases, serum tryptase level was 880, 68 and 200μg/l (normal range in living subjects: <11.4μg/l), histamine was 37.5, 8.5 and 23.2ng/ml (normal range: <0.3ng/ml) and DAO was 1, 30 and 4U/ml (normal range 10-30U/ml), respectively. Values in the control group were as follows: tryptase 1-340μg/l (mean 24.2±58.2), histamine 5.0-22.0ng/ml (mean 14.7±3.9) and DAO 0-114U/ml (mean 21.1±27.8). 19/55 (34.5%) of the controls had elevated tryptase levels >11.4μg/l, with four of them showing values >45μg/ml. Significantly higher histamine levels were seen in blood samples taken more than 24h post mortem (p<0.05), whereas the timing of blood collection had no effect on tryptase and DAO levels. While moderately elevated tryptase levels are common in post mortem sera, values above 45μg/l may support the diagnosis of fatal anaphylaxis. Strongly elevated histamine levels might give an additional clue on fatal anaphylaxis, whereas DAO does not seem to be helpful.

I have panic attacks, claustrophobia, issues with crowds, anxiety of flying etc... Lots of great suggestions here! A few things, pick a couple must dos because there is so much to do and trying to fit it in would be hard. Resort break mid day- recharging!! Also, I rely on my husband to help bc the past few years we've gone down with Another family- but I can discreetly whisper to my husband that I need help, space, whatever and he plays interference so I can regain my composure before it gets bad (it helps from me spiraling into panic/anxiety episodes). Good luck, take it easy and breath!! When it gets tough sit and relax!

my advice would be call virgin or whichever airline ur flying with and inform them of your special needs and ask what they can do to help, check out the website, plan what films you are going to watch etc.
buy a kindle... i sweae by mine
we stayed at ssr and the hotel is amazing, request a room with a view of DTD... sit on the patio and relax in the evening, praise yourself for everything you dealt with that day.
if you dont like characters (they freaked me out the 1st time...just stay away
plan what you re going to eat, i have ocd planning, and that helps alot, knowing when i can sit down/chill
be aware the 1st aid stations in the parks will give you a quiet haven to lie down/sleep whatever helps you to relax
use youtube to watch videos of fantasmic/rides etc so you are prepared.
get used to the idea of size, no one can prepare you for how big wdw actually is... the car parks for example are huge!! write down where tthe car is so you dont panic about not finding it, put something personal in the windscreen as all hire cars look the same!!
i second the comment about watching wishes from the beach at the poly
have a great time and try and enjoy yourself

Two other things that have worked with friends of mine-
If you can, try and board your airplane first, and make sure you have the window seat (this, of course, only helps if the height is not going to bother you). That way, someone you know will be on one side, no one will be on the other, and you will have a little room to move side to side and have that breathing space.
Another thing is, since you're going with others, have them help form a barrier for you if you start feeling the start of your anxiety. While you're going during a slower time (according to your countdown), there can still be lines and crowds. Having people you know around you will help, and what they can do to help you is to make a space, if that makes any sense. They can spread out a bit in the queue or the sidewalk, so that you're in the middle (think ) and then you have some breathing room instead of feeling like this:
And there are a lot of places in all the parks to take a breather- benches, out of the way pathways, even corners of counter service eateries where you can put your back to the wall. Make your plans without having everything exact to the minute (say, today I'll be in Animal Kingdom, and I'll have an awesome day if I get to ride Expedition Everest and see Festival of the Lion King, instead of at rope drop I'm running to EE, then to the Safari and then by 10 I have to be at dinosaur and by 10:30 I have to catch the first Nemo show, and then....)
Hope your trip is wonderful!

There is so much expectation to get all we can from a trip, but some of my calmest enjoyable times were watching a squirell, sitting having a Dole Whip, or pineapple juice, chatting with new friends, or getting big hugs from Goofy with tears running down my face cause he loved me....PS I am 57........oh, I forgot to carry my Ativan to the park, I think that would have helped too.

I'm 20 and was diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder when I was 14. I'm on medication, which helps my day-to-day anxiety, but doesn't help if I'm triggered by something specific. Because of this, I was very worried about my most recent trip to WDW, but with planning, I had an amazing time, and so will you!
As other have said, accepting that you may not be able to "keep up" with everyone else is important. You'll have a wonderful time even if things don't go according to plan - which can be hard to believe, as I'm usually unable to handle plans going wrong, but WDW has a way of making everything okay.
I don't know when you're booked, but off-season is best so there won't be as many crowds. Try and go as early as possible each day to avoid crowds, and take breaks when you feel overwhelmed. One of my triggers is being touched by strangers in crowds, so this one was very important for me. Resting helped me regroup.
Using touring plans was a lifesaver. Having my days planned in advance lessened my anxiety tenfold. Even if things didn't go exactly as planned, I could use the plans to get back on track and I felt much more in control, which helps my anxiety. It helps if your family is on board with this and let's you take the lead.
Another one of my issues is getting unwanted attention/being judged/being embarrassed, so I understand not wanting to use a GAC. It might be worth it to get one just in case. Knowing you have it if you need it may ease some worries. Disney cast members are extremely nice and very helpful, and many of my biggest concerns were put at ease on day 1. I never once felt judged.
I hope you have an amazing time! I'd be happy to answer any specific questions you have, as we're almost the same age and it seems we have similar anxiety issues.

Hello, I am bipolar and have panic and anxiety issues and also happen to be an RN, maybe I can give you some tips. I have a fear of heights so I take Dramamine about half an hour before boarding the plane and always get an aisle seat, thinking about looking out the window makes my palms sweaty, plus being in the aisle makes it easier for me to flee to the bathroom if need be.
I take deep breaths too, but what I do, is take a deep breath in and then count one one thousand, two one thousand, until I get to 5 before breathing out, in through the nose, out through the mouth, if I concentrate on counting, it clears my mind. I will also, in desperate situations, like lines in stores and probably lines for rides would be the same, I stare at the floor and recite the alphabet backwards. I have to concentrate to do that and it takes my mind off things around me, plus a lot of breathing, but slow, no hyperventilating.
I also like to think that others may feel the exact way I feel right then and so I watch people, sometimes I will focus on someone standing completely still and just keep my eyes on them and tell myself they are doing what I'm doing and this calms me, thinking I'm not alone.
I'm on bipolar meds and even though I'm a nurse, I'm against most benzodiazepines for anxiety. But, in this past year, with my son being dx'ed ADHD and evening times being the worst for the family dealing with his meltdowns, I told my psychiatrist I would try a low dose of Xanax. I don't take it everyday, just when I feel a panic attack coming on. It works within 15 min. of taking it and doesn't sedate me, but slows me down and calms me well. I wish I would've tried it sooner, it has really helped me immensely.
You said you are seeing a therapist, are you doing cognitive behavioral therapy? I did that for a year and it is a lifesaver if you do it consistently and get used to all your triggers and hot thoughts.
I went to the World back in 2005 and I remember sitting on benches and just concentrating on the scenery and sights around me when I needed a break. Although my family was with me, sometimes they were overly helpful and I had to politely tell them to go enjoy a ride and just let me sit alone for a while. It was a huge relief to be able to sit quietly on my own while I worked through my anxiety.
I wish you the best of luck, feel free to PM me if you'd like, I can tell you more about CBT if you want to know more about it.
Blessings, Michelle

USS Rentz Assists Mariners in Distress
By SOF Editor on Tue, 11/24/2009 - 11:19am
Printer Friendly VersionSend to a FriendUSS Rentz (FFG 46) responded to a distress call Nov. 20 from Motor Vessel Adnan Wahd, which was taking on water while at sea in the Central Arabian Gulf. M/V Adnan Wahd reported a hole in its hull and that the crew could not bring the flooding under control. The crew also reported having only five hours of fuel remaining and no food. A Rentz rescue and assist team went aboard M/V Adnan Wahd and provided temporary repairs to a three foot diameter hole in the ship's hull and helped the crew bring the flooding under control. In coordination with the Qatari Coast Guard, Rentz Sailors transferred a Qatari Coast Guard dewatering pump to M/V Adnan Wahd and trained the crew on how to properly use the pump. Rentz Sailors also delivered five days of food and water, while remaining on station until M/V Adnan Wahd was safely under tow by a Qatari Coast Guard ship. "It was a privilege helping a fellow mariner in need, and Rentz always stands ready to assist in an emergency," said Cmdr. Jeff Miller, USS Rentz Commanding Officer. Rentz is deployed to the U.S. 5th Fleet area of operations in support of Maritime Security Operations.

Question: Okay, what's the real story behind T.R. Knight's probable exit? — ClaireAusiello: Another one of my Grey's moles just checked in. Let's ask him. Read the full post.
Ask Ausiello: Spoilers on 'One Tree Hill,' 'Bones,' 'SVU,' 'Rescue Me,' 'House,' 'Psych,' 'Grey's Anatomy,' 'Pushing Daisies,' 'Heroes,' and More!
I'm inclined to say that the format of Ausiello's response to the GA actor/actress to be fired echoes AfterEllen's weekly column Best.Lesbian.Week.Ever. so my guess is Sara Ramirez who is GA's resident bisexual/twicebian masquerading as a lesbian.
Shall we consider the last 6 episodes of Privileged to be the last 6 ever??? Any chance that it could survive to see a second season?? Love, love, love the show!!
what is the difference between a touchdown and slamdunk? dont they both mean sex? i sure hope it's more than just that cuz these two are awesome!!!!
Mark and Lexie are you kidding? Most people hate this pairing and think they are like a father and daughter and now they are going to roll around doing it all the time? Yuck. George and Lexie were amazing and were never given a chance and becasue of it, we are now losing TR. We are losing my George because of the Slexiepuke story? Are you kidding? Now I hate them more than ever.
You have to be kidding me? I rooted for George and Lexie and now not only am I losing George, have to watch Lexie make out with her daddy Mark all season. How gross! Doesn't shonda read the various boards. People do not like this couple,. except for a few fanatics who spam, everything.
It is settled. TR,s last appearance will be min e too.
EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW to Mark and Lexie, make the lambs stop screaming as my beloved George would say. Speaking of my beloved George, why can't those loser writers not give him a story, like going after Lexie, so he can end her and daddy Warbucks and we can have Gexie and TR can stay like most of us want.
HUGH LAURIE part NAKED????
You just woke me up!!!!
13 put me to sleep!
Thanks, Aus
I do hope that another network will pick up Pushing Daisies. ABC screwed up royally on the promoting area for the show. Instead of letting people forget it during the writer's strike, they should have reaired Season 1's episodes during the summer instead of some of the crap they were spewing all over…
Your kidding me right? Mark and Lexie. Apparently the writers don't care about what the audience actually wants to see. I guess they'd rather just keep losing viewers.
I give up on Grey's Anatomy.
Mark & Lexie spoilers have made my day.THANK YOU !!!
Mark and Lexie? EWWWWW. Thank God I will be quitting when Tr leaves because this is even worse than dead Denny and Izzie
absolutely love mark and lexie! keep the good news coming!
Ewwwwwww Mark and Lexie are gross!! They have no chemistry and Lexie begging him to teach her was so pathetic and it sounded like a bad porn movie. She is supposed to be with George, and Callie with Mark. Then maybe people can actually watch without wanting to puke (there's a reason they are called Slexipuke). Except for that small group of Mexie fans, NOBODY wants them together.
Hugh Laurie partially naked. Saving the date.
But you just ruined my great mental image with the thought of Eric Dane having to be naked with Chyler Leigh (no offense), only two people fit the bill when it comes to McSteamy and that's Callie or Addison. No one else cuts it.

Knoxville (WVLT) Some big changes on the way for the Knox County Commission that should give you more input in their decisions made.
Volunteer TV's Kim Bedford has more.
Today is the last day the County Commission will meet at 2:00 pm, at least for the next two months.
The Commission unanimously voted to move their monthly meeting to 5:00 pm to allow for more input from the working public.
They recommended the beer board meet at 3:00 pm, zoning at 4:00 pm, and then commission at 5:00 pm.
They decided this will be on a trial basis for November and December, and then they'll revisit it in January to see if it's been helpful.
One Knox County citizen stepped up and expressed his gratitude.
Jim McCevvers says, "I appreciate the time adjustment you're trying to make and 5:30 workshops, all accommodate whatever you want to do, and I think it's great you're trying to make this effort to make yourself available in the evenings for the working folks."
The commission also unanimously voted to require that a public hearing time, place and format be determined before any elected official vacancy can be filled by the commission.
All of this is in hope of slowly gaining back the public's trust.

Critic & User Reviews
Best on Wii U so far

Monster Hunter Tri Ultimate is NOT a port of the 3DS version, nor the SAME as Tri for the Wii. Anyone who would say otherwise is a rebel and a traitor to the empire, and they will be taken away. What monster Hunter Tri Ultimate IS is a much expanded reboot of Tri. Many of the aesthetical aspects are the same, however, no armor set is a replica of it's Tri original, having all been endowed with new skill sets when worn. This brings a whole new balance to the game itself.
Any other mainstream reviewer can tell you that the difference in the two games is content, but there are also a few new game mechanics that have NEVER been present in any other MH game, such as the ability to hire hunters you've met online to do automated quests for you while you do your own thing.
There is so much more to this game than what you see at first glance, and I would NOT recommend it to anyone who is not willing to invest the time and PATIENCE necessary to become at least decent at playing. Inexperienced and/or casual gamers beware, the Monster Hunter series is not for you.
Unfortunately, I'm almost at the character limit with this review, so I'll give it a perfect score overall, while hitting some high notes.
Music: Epic. 10
Graphics: So much potential, but still true to the childish nature of the series, yet still sadly neglected. 7

Now, if you don't have endless time(like me), this might not be the most fun game to play.
It requires a lot of investment into it to get anywhere.
So, this is(definitely)not for casual gamers.
Also, if your looking for story(of any sorts), it's not here(at least I thought so).
ALSO, to those people complaining about it being hard; it's SUPPOSED to be hard.
That's the fun of it.
Now, Monster Hunter is pretty simple(at least the basic concept).
You create a bro or brodette(?), craft weapons and armor, and fight monsters.
That's it.
The whole point of the game is crafting armor so you can fight a monster to get HIS armor to fight a harder monster, etc.
So, basically, endless grinding. (To sum it all up.)
So, if you like(or love, or beyond, like me)grinding, then this game is your(second)significant other.
If you don't, then, well, there's other fish in the sea. (Or in Monster Hunter's case, sharqs.)
There's a few problems though, like:
1. Every time you leave a city you create, everyone else gets disconnected.
2. Harder to check where you get materials from.
Other than these, this game is like chocolate with bacon. (Which is good, just so you know.)
So, all in all, I think this game is one of the greatest things to happen to the world, because it fits into my genre of stuff.
But, if you don't like grinding, talking to people, beating up monsters, or spending 3 hours on with decorations you want in your armor, then, I suggest looking elsewhere.

Two things that can be considered bad about the game is that
1) It is an old port, Decent, but I would have been more then happy to wait for a Revamped MH4.
2) No Local Multiplayer, You can only play with people online or with local players who have a 3DS and the game.
Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate

The game is as it was on the Wii; Monster Hunter Tri. Except more monster, armor, weapons, items, areas to explore, etc. Basically how Monster Hunter Freedom 1 & 2 and then there was a Monster Hunter Freedom Unite. MH3 Ultimate is the Freedom Unite of the Wii U. As a returning fan you should already know what to expect.
For all of the newcomers:
Monster Hunter in itself is a very repetitive, frustrating, hard-working type of game. It takes lots of practice and skill to actually be good at the game. Work alone as a solo hunter offline and collect materials by yourself or work as a team online and duke it out slaying monsters with your friends or with random people. Although the game is very repetitive it offers hundreds and hundreds of hours of gameplay. The game is never over. Even when you've beaten the flagship monster of the game (usually the monster on the cover of the boxart), the game is still not over with. Even if you've beaten every quest in the game (which may take hundreds of hours), you're still not done. Go out and collect every piece of armor or the strongest weapon or the toughest armor out there. Make your own creations to make the most ultimate armor out there. There are endless creations and possibilities within the Monster Hunter series. The game will never get old because there is so much to do. You will get frustrated with the game. It takes a lot of patience and skill to overcome the enemies with this game. If you're unsure of buying this game, at least rent it and play it for a few days before you decide to buy it. I doubt it's a game that you'd want to return if you buy it though.
Fun and challenging, but repetitive

Positives: Fantastic combat, great looking monsters, deep gameplay, lots to do and get, thrilling to take down a huge monster.
Negatives: No story, repetitive quests, online multiplayer can be hit or miss, some fights can be very frustrating
Overall: A deep online game that can last hundreds of hours, if you love challenging battles. There is just enough variety to keep you from getting bored, and if you can find a good group of people to hunt with, the game really shines. Lack of any story is a bummer, but you will have plenty of other things to worry about.

The best part is that the Wii U, can synch up with the 3DS versions so all 4 of us can all hunt monsters in the same room. Screaming out tips or laughing at each other's misfortunes. You can also play online as well if you don't have any roomates or fellow monster hunters to play this with. And, in a few weeks they will be releasing a add-on that allows the 3DS to play online with you while you play on the WiiU.
The game is a BLAST TO PLAY! Since my roomates and I got this game 2 days ago, we have put in about 35 hours or so into it. And have loved every minute of it.
For monster hunter veterans, the game starts off a little on the easy side so new hunters can get used to the game. But, once you travel online and make it to the High Rank and G Rank missions, the game will thoroughly start kicking your butt again if your group does not come prepared.
For new players, this game can be quite tough at times, so make sure you play a good chunk of the single player campaign before you decide to head online. Because the monsters there are MUCH, MUCH stronger then offline. Also, doing so gives you much needed experience on monster patterns, and gives you a chance to get your farm going giving you a constant supply of much needed items.
Tons of New Monsters like the Nigelsnarf and Duramboros
New weapons like the hunting horn(Who doesn't like giving your whole team infinite stamina)
New Areas
Too many new armor sets to count
3DS connectivity
Took away the lot of the filler missions from Online missions
Game starts off a little slow if you are new to Monster Hunter
If it hooks you say goodbye to your social life
Takes a little while to get to the new content
For fans of Monster Hunter, this is another 400 hours or so. For new players, you may find yourse
A Rehashed Monster Tri Game

A little less than three years later, Nintendo comes out with an updated version called Monster Hunter Ultimate – with better graphics, better controls (you don't use the Wiimote and Nunchuck in the WiiU version) and maybe more material.
For those of you who haven't played either version here's how it works: you create a guy or gal who's a hunter, equip them with all sorts of weapons (both melee and distance), gear up on armor, items and supplies, and then go off into the dangerous world and kill any creature that you come across.
Your choice of melee weapon is important – some do a great deal of damage, but they are so big that you need to time your swing right to land the hit. And others are faster to use, but they do less damage.
But when I started playing this game, I got a big flashback to the Tri game on the Wii, and after about two hours of hunting, fishing, mining, swimming and planting, my level of interest dropped.
The single player mode just doesn't thrill me very much. I felt like I was doing the same thing over and over again – with little incentive to go on doing the same thing over and over again.
Which is why they have the online multiplayer part – where you and up to three other players can go out and fight all sorts of creatures over all sorts of lands (that's where they get that 200 quests they say in the promo.) This is where the fun is.
Monster Hunter Ultimate can be fun – with other players. But $60 is a hefty price to pay, so I say you rent it first and try it before thinking about buying it.
Best Game for the Wii U thus far

MH3U is just too much like MH3. There's barely anything True and New enough to make any statement worthy of wowing gamers. It's basically a polished-up version of MH3--not really a good game debut on a console, let alone on a new console.
The only difference is a few other weapons, more armor, more monsters, and more battlefields, all in HD. That's nice and all, but it's nothing innovative for a new MH game. If repetition tickles your fancy, more power to you (boy does that sound fun). But I'm not interested in leveling up all over again just to get a few more of everything. Compared to its prequel, there's nothing "truly innovative" to the gameplay or experience...nope, not even up for argument, sorry. If the other fans weren't so biased/brainwashed by the franchise like a COD or Halo fan, they'd ultimately agree on this point.
With this being supposedly the best game for the Wii U, as reviewers keep on saying, then sales projections of the console are going to continue to struggle indefinitely! Come on, guys...
Definitely not for everybody

Monster Hunter Tri(Wii)- Monster Hunter 3 ultimate(Wii-U)..
Nothing wrong with it; except for the fact that it is ANNOYING!!!!
In any event, I am glad they have a more full array of weapons to choose from this time around! I keep getting a rather annoying feeling which bugs me(Very few RPGs for the Wii-U)... Wii-U hasn't had many RPGs as yet, and I hope they expand there RPG selection, so they can compete.. I am sure we just need to be patient here folks.. It bothers me that this game is the only RPG as of this writing of this review... This IS a good game to be certain... Worth a rent, at least! Well, try before you buy in any event!

Lawyers' Committee & Davis Polk File Fourth Suit Targeting Loan Modification Scam in Nassau County
NEW YORK, NY – March 15, 2012 – (RealEstateRama) — The Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights Under Law (Lawyers' Committee) and pro bono counsel Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP (Davis Polk) have filed their fourth lawsuit against a network of for-profit loan modification companies. The suit, Masheyeva v. Law Offices of David M. Green, was filed in New York Supreme Court in Nassau County, on behalf of 18 homeowners from New York and six other states. It alleges that the loan modification scam, operated by multiple corporate and individual defendants centered around David M. Green and his Nassau County-based firm, Law Offices of David M. Green, defrauded vulnerable homeowners out of tens of thousands of dollars by falsely promising—for substantial upfront fees—to obtain much-needed mortgage modifications on their behalf, but then consistently failing to deliver results. The case seeks to recover monetary damages, including the illegal upfront fees paid by plaintiffs, and injunctive relief to put an end to the deceptive practices of the named defendants. The Lawyers' Committee and Davis Polk are representing the plaintiffs free of charge. (Click here to view Complaint)
The scheme at issue in this case is alleged in the complaint to have operated as follows:
In exchange for sizable advance fees of up to $5,000, collected in violation of New York law, defendants promised to work directly with plaintiffs' lenders to renegotiate their home loans and to secure lower monthly payments and interest rates, and, in some instances, avoid impending foreclosure.
They lured plaintiffs by touting their specialized experience in the industry, offering the services and expertise of seasoned attorneys, and claiming to have personal connections with key employees of plaintiffs' lenders.
Ultimately, defendants performed little to no work on plaintiffs' loan modification applications, typically failing to make any contact with their lenders.
"The impact of this type of scam activity on financially distressed homeowners has proven devastating," said Jon Greenbaum, Lawyers' Committee chief counsel and senior deputy director. "Not only are homeowners being defrauded out of thousands of dollars, but they ultimately sustain a variety of other losses, including late fees and damage to credit scores and, in the worst cases, are brought closer to the brink of foreclosure as a direct result of the scam."
Masheyeva v. Law Offices of David Green is the Lawyers' Committee's sixth loan modification scam lawsuit filed nationally part of the Lawyers' Committee's work with the Loan Modification Scam Prevention Network (LMSPN) litigation effort seeks to put an end to the fraudulent and deceptive behavior of so-called loan modification "specialists. LMSPN is a broad coalition that also includes representatives from key governmental agencies, the Federal Trade Commission, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), the U.S. Department of Justice, the U.S. Department of the Treasury, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and the offices of numerous state Attorneys General. Since the launch of the national LMSPN database in February 2010, more than 21,000 homeowners nationwide have filed complaints regarding scams or potential scams, representing over $60 million in monies lost to such scams. More than 1,100 of these reports have been submitted by New York homeowners, who have reported losses of over $4 million in fees paid to alleged loan modification scammers.
Homeowners who believe they have been victims of a scam or have information about a scam, or potential scam, are encouraged to report such scams either by calling 311 in New York City or by entering such information online at: http://www.preventloanscams.org and clicking the button "Report a Scam!"

Authorities rescue kitten trapped in E. Texas well
Myrtle Springs, Texas (KETK) — Usually, the story goes: Firefighters rescued a cat stuck in a tree. Apparently, that's not the case in East Texas. In fact, it's in the opposite direction.
According to the Van Zandt County Fire Marshal's Office, authorities responded to reports of a cat stuck in a well in Myrtle Springs. Fire Marshall Charles Allen responded to the call and was able to pull the feline out using a bucket and long extension cord.
Once the kitten was out of the 30-foot well, it was dried off and placed back with the mother.

CVB Financial Corp. Reports Highest Quarterly Profit In Company History
The Company reported total assets of $6.52 billion at June 30, 2012. This represents an increase of $41.0 million, or 0.63%, from total assets of $6.48 billion at December 31, 2011. Earning assets totaled $6.15 billion at June 30, 2012, an increase of $17.8 million, or 0.29%, when compared with earning assets of $6.13 billion at December 31, 2011. The increase in earning assets was due to an increase in the investment portfolio and interest-earning cash, partially offset by a decrease in the loan portfolio.
Investment Securities
Investment securities totaled $2.26 billion at June 30, 2012. This is up from $2.20 billion at December 31, 2011. Our investment portfolio continues to perform well. As of June 30, 2012 we had a pretax unrealized gain of $75.1 million of which $42.3 million is attributed to our municipal securities portfolio and $32.6 million is attributed to our mortgage-backed securities ("MBS") portfolio.MBS totaled $1.58 billion at June 30, 2012. Virtually all of our mortgage-backed securities are issued by Freddie Mac or Fannie Mae, which have the implied guarantee of the U.S. Government. We have one private-label mortgage-backed security that has impairment. This Alt-A bond, with a book value of $2.2 million as of June 30, 2012, has had $1.8 million in net impairment loss to date since it was purchased in early 2008, with no additional impairment recorded for the second quarter of 2012. Our municipal securities, totaling $634.9 million, are located in 27 states, with approximately $26.6 million, or 4.2%, located within the state of California. Our largest holdings are in New Jersey at 14.5%, Michigan at 12.3% and Illinois at 11.7%. All municipal bond securities are performing. We continued to reinvest our cash flows from the investment portfolio. During the second quarter of 2012, we purchased $30.9 million in MBS with an average yield of 1.60% and $6.5 million in municipal securities with an average tax-equivalent yield of 3.17%. MBS purchased during the second quarter have an average duration of about 4.9 years. One of the primary objectives of our purchasing strategy is to minimize extension risk as interest rates rise.

- Conference date: 22-26 August 2006
- Location: Istanbul (Turkey)
Organic monolayers from a fluorescently labeled phospholipid (DPPE‐NBD) were deposited on solid supports under special conditions that form stable nanometer wide bilayers cylinders that protrude from the monolayer. This molecule was frequently used in sensor applications due to its sensitivity to environment changes. The proposed configuration should provide both fast response times (ultra thin film) and increased sensitivity (greatly increased surface area). AFM can clearly distinguish between the different phases. The height difference between the solid‐expanded and the liquid‐expanded phase was measured to be 1.4 nm while the bilayer thickness was 5.6 nm. The solid domains show a 20 % decrease in fluorescence lifetime in comparison to the monolayer as measured by FLIM. This difference in lifetimes is explained in the model of fluorescence self quenching in the solid phase due to the molecules being closer to each other.

This week we have lyrics from Cobra Starship's 'One Day, Robots Will Cry' from their 2007 release, ¡Viva La Cobra!.
Sleep for days.
Come over, come over.
I won't make the same mistakes.
I'm dying not to hurt you.
In our dreams we can be complete
If we go to sleep
We can wake up home again.
