Live the Story
A look at the promotional cards in our Arkham Horror and Android novels |
The Lord of Nightmares Trilogy | Published 08 November 2011 |
With last week's release of Golem and Dance of the Damned, two new novels are further deepening the rich and immersive worlds of Android and Arkham Horror. What you may not know, however, is that each of these novels (as well as Free Fall and Ghouls of the Miskatonic) offers a way to experience a small part of its narrative on your tabletop!
The paperback editions of Free Fall, Ghouls of the Miskatonic, Golem, and Dance of the Damned each feature an exclusive card promotion. By filling out a form on the final page of the book and sending it to FFG for redemption (along with a small shipping and handling charge), you'll receive cards that bring some of these novels' most memorable characters and events into your gaming experiences.
Puppets of otherworldly forces
Ghouls of the Miskatonic tells a harrowing tale of eldritch horrors, in which unlikely heroes battle cosmic evil despite the threats to their own fragile sanity. Oliver Grayson is a character who, through luck and determination, manages to escape his doom; his propensity for timely getaways is exemplified by his exclusive Arkham Horror ally card. With it, investigators can avoid (in part) the ill effects of failed Evade checks!
Want to raise the stakes? Dance of the Damned introduces a mythos card of the same name that begins in play, presenting a persistent challenge for investigators. Like a ticking time bomb, the Dance of the Damned is ever increasing in power, growing stronger every time an investigator spends a Clue token or resolves a Headline mythos card. If the team can meet its lofty requirements in time, they can forever seal an inter-dimensional gate... but if they dawdle too long, a grim curse will fall upon them.
A living, breathing New Angeles
But whereas Ghouls of the Miskatonic and Dance of the Damned each transport readers to a gin-fueled, prohibition-era past, Free Fall and Golem portray a more complex time period: a dystopian future in which mankind struggles to reconcile booming technology with its own humanity. The Android universe is simultaneously grim and hopeful, presenting a world of bustling megalopolises in which commerce has spread beyond the Earth's atmosphere.
Android's event cards were designed to contribute to this sense of a living, breathing New Angeles; important occurrences (which may or may not affect the players' investigations) are always taking place throughout the city. With the promotional event cards included in Free Fall and Golem, players can add a new level of immersion to their Android games. By referencing climactic events from the books, these cards create the perception that the novels' plots and your own investigation are unfolding concurrently!
With Free Fall's promotional event card, Detective Rick Harrison's dramatic encounters with the Beanstalk have consequences beyond his own mortal danger. Evoking one memorable scene in which Harrison briefly shuts down the Beanstalk (and another in which something far more shocking happens), "We're Tracking You in Free Fall..." is an event card that both injures important suspects and limits a precious mode of transit.
Meanwhile, "A Golem, to Use the Vernacular" is an event card based on Mel Odom's gripping thriller. There may be more to billionaire playboy Thomas Haas than meets the eye; Golem describes this prince of New Angeles' nightlife as a man who "gathers" data for his own inscrutable purposes. With his event card, you can use Haas' illicit talents to aid your case; discard it at an opportune time to look at another detective's evidence.
The promotional cards for these four novels each deliver an exciting new way to enjoy your favorite games, while deepening the rich narratives of Arkham Horror and Android. Pick up these novels at your favorite book store, hobby games retailer, or on our webstore today! Remember: electronic versions of these novels do not include promotional card offers. Have a comment?

The Lord of Nightmares Trilogy is a terrifying series from Alan Bligh and John French.

Oral History Program Jeannik Méquet Littlefield Interviewed by Richard Sadler and Gene Sessions 30 May 2006 31 May 2006 Oral History Program Weber State University Stewart Library Ogden, Utah Jeannik Méquet Littlefield Interviewed by Richard Sadler and Gene Sessions 30 May 2006 31 May 2006 Copyright © 2011 by Weber State University, Stewart Library Mission Statement The Oral History Program of the Stewart Library was created to preserve the institutional history of Weber State University and the Davis, Ogden and Weber County communities. By conducting carefully researched, recorded, and transcribed interviews, the Oral History Program creates archival oral histories intended for the widest possible use. Interviews are conducted with the goal of eliciting from each participant a full and accurate account of events. The interviews are transcribed, edited for accuracy and clarity, and reviewed by the interviewees (as available), who are encouraged to augment or correct their spoken words. The reviewed and corrected transcripts are indexed, printed, and bound with photographs and illustrative materials as available. Archival copies are placed in Special Collections. The Stewart Library also houses the original recording so researchers can gain a sense of the interviewee's voice and intonations. Project Description The Utah Construction Company/Utah International Inc. Oral History Project was created to capture the memories of individuals associated with the company. Several of the interviewees are family and relatives, others are personalities involved with Utah Construction Company/Utah International Inc. and some of the company's prominent figures. ____________________________________ Oral history is a method of collecting historical information through recorded interviews between a narrator with firsthand knowledge of historically significant events and a well-informed interviewer, with the goal of preserving substantive additions to the historical record. Because it is primary material, oral history is not intended to present the final, verified, or complete narrative of events. It is a spoken account. It reflects personal opinion offered by the interviewee in response to questioning, and as such it is partisan, deeply involved, and irreplaceable. ____________________________________ Rights Management Special Collections All literary rights in the manuscript, including the right to publish, are reserved to the Stewart Library of Weber State University.

Ms. Littlefield married Edmund Wattis Littlefield in 1945 and in the following interview she recounts her personal history and insights into the life and career of her husband. Lisa Largent and Roman Gronkowski were also present during the interview. RS: Mrs. Littlefield, we just wanted to mention to you how this project is coming together. Since we received the papers of the Utah Construction Company, we've been trying to flesh out everything by doing interviews with all sorts of people who were connected to the company, and of course, you were closer to it than virtually anyone else. We have begun by talking with Denise, and are going to talk with Jaques and some other people. We'll put these interviews in the library for scholars to use in order to help them understand and develop the Utah Construction Company history. So, these will be very valuable additions to our library and scholars from all over will come to look at them. JL: Well, that's good. GS: And we're excited that you would take the time to chat with us. We better move along, because you have something to do. JL: That's right. GS: We're in San Mateo and it is Tuesday, May 30, 2006. We're interviewing Jeannik Littlefield, and we're so thankful, once again, for her to take the time to talk to us. Present also are Richard Sadler, Lisa Largent, and Gene Sessions [and Roman 2 Gronkowski.] We wanted to start, if you wouldn't mind, with a little personal history—how you met Ed. Tell us a little bit about your early history. JL: Well, as a matter of fact, I have the article that just came in. LL: Oh, from the San Francisco Symphony. GS: Wonderful. JL: Yes, so we could read it. GS: Well, that would help, but is there anything that isn't in the article that you'd like to tell us about meeting him, becoming involved with him, and that part of your life? JL: Well, we met in Washington when he was working for—I forget—an important department and he had a very important job. The thing is, when the war broke out, he was in the Navy, but his eyesight was not good enough, so all he was going to do was paperwork. Well, he'd rather do paperwork in Washington with the fellow who had been his former boss than stay in San Francisco. So he went there. I had been in this country about four years. I came as an exchange student, theoretically for one year. I just had a great time going to college here, and my parents said, "Well, if you're having such a good time, why don't you stay there, instead of coming back to France." So I did, but after four years I was really homesick. So, the friends of mine said, "Well, why don't you join the Free French Forces? You won't be able to go back to France, but at least you could go back to North Africa." I did that, and they sent me—where was the name of the place? Not in San Francisco, I forget the name. Anyway, you know where I went? It was not Washington, but it was a—I guess maybe you don't know. 3 GS: It just says, "Found herself waiting in a camp outside Washington D.C." JL: That's it, that's right. And I was kind of bored after waiting for something to happen. GS: OK. JL: Somebody said, "Can you write or type something?" I really couldn't type, but I said, "Sure." So, I went to Washington to work with the Air Force. GS: The French Air Corps. JL: That's right. JL: It was very interesting. I saw a lot of young Frenchmen, you know, eighteen, nineteen. They probably just came from North Africa. The war—it was like that. It turns out I stayed in a place fairly close to where my office, the Office of War Information, was located. I could walk there. My future husband lived in the same building. I was in the sixth floor with this friend that I'd known when I was at Mills. Ed went to work every day in his tiny little car, and apparently tried to give me a lift or something like that. Well, my eyes were very, and still are— LL: Nearsighted. JL: —very nearsighted. So I ignored him completely. He said, "Well, we'll just see." Anyway, eventually we met at a Christmas party, with people that I knew from San Francisco, and Ed was there. That was Christmas, I guess '44, and we were married June 14, 1945. GS: And then where did you first live together? JL: Well, I just moved into his little apartment, which wasn't very big. He had to stay there, and the friend that had taken me in, she had to go back to Belgium or 4 something else. So, we were married in June, and then the war was over—I guess it was in August when it was really finished. So, everybody started moving from one place to another. We left in November or December. By that time, I found out that I'd been promoted to lieutenant. We drove in his little car from Washington to the West Coast. The first thing we did was to stop in Utah where his father and step-mother lived, and then we just kept on going to the West Coast where some good friends of ours had managed to get an apartment for us there on Jackson Street. People were amazed. They said, "How did you manage to get that apartment?" And I'd say, "Well, now, it's friends. Just happened, you know." LL: People you know. JL: We stayed there for, two—maybe three years. Then Ed had to go to Los Angeles, and that's where he met Marriner Eccles. He managed to have him join the company. At first Ed—well, that's in the books, you know. GS: Yes, but we want your impression. JL: Well, it was typical of him, saying at first, "I don't want to be with the family," but finally he said, "Okay, I want to know exactly who I'm going to work for. I don't want to be just all over the place, and I do not want to have to cater to the family." And Marriner said, "All right." So, Ed started and then went on. I enjoyed Marriner very much, you know—I found myself next to him very often and he was very nice. Marriner was obviously very brilliant, and all that. He and Ed got along together; I think they both had the same type of intelligence. And I think Marriner almost felt like Ed was his…he wished he had a son like Ed, 5 instead of the children that he had. GS: I got that impression that they were very much like father and son. JL: Yes, very much, very much. GS: Denise said that Marriner was like a grumpy uncle. Why would she say that? JL: I don't know why she would say that. GS: She didn't say it in a negative way, really. We asked her, "What do you remember about Marriner?" She said, "Well, he was like a grumpy old uncle." JL: Mm-hmm. Well, I didn't feel that way. Maybe because she was a little girl. GS: Well, she meant it affectionately, really. That he was like family. JL: Yes, I know. A lot of people ask, "What's your relation?" No relation at all. We just got along fine. GS: Now, he joined the company in 1951? JL: That's right. GS: And where did you live at first? JL: We got back to the Bay Area and bought this house in a hurry—because, you know, we had to have a place—and in Hillsborough, California, we were fairly close to the main street. I mean, it wasn't up in the hill; it was convenient. But I didn't like that house at all. It was alright with the two boys that we had then, and then Denise was born there. When Denise was born, we had to move, it was just too tight. That's when we were lucky to find a really wonderful house. When we bought it, I said, "Ed, I'm sure we can't afford it, but I want you to see my dream house." This was a Friday, and he canceled his golf game for Saturday, which was really nice. We went to see the house, and he also fell in love with it. But he 6 didn't want to pay what they were asking for it. He said, "This is all I can pay for it, I don't want to discuss it—it's that or nothing." At the end of the day, the agent said, "Well, Mr. Littlefield, they maybe have something, on one condition." Ed said, "I said I did not want any condition." He said, "Listen to me. The condition is that you come over to have a drink." And the people really put the price quite a bit lower than it was. But I think they liked us. We had three children, like they'd had three children, and they were eager to get rid of the house to build another one. So, it worked out fine, and we were in that house until three years ago. LL: You were in there for that long? JL: Yes, oh yes. RS: Which city was that in? JL: We kind of straddled Burlingame and Hillsborough next to it. GS: You'd lived right in San Francisco after the war, so coming back to the Bay area was easy? JL: Oh sure. GS: You were happy to do that. JL: Yes, because I had lived here. I had gone to school at Mills, and after Mills I went to Berkeley. I quit Berkeley because I was offered a job—this is during the war. I forget exactly the name of the thing, but we were trying to be in contact with the French. GS: Free French. JL: The French possession in near what is now… GS: Indo-China. 7 JL: Near China, right. The funny thing is that whatever we wanted to say had to be in English first and then translated into French. That's ridiculous. I mean, it was French to start with. "Oh no, no, that's not the way we do it," they said. But anyway, it was fun. LL: Oh, I bet. JL: Yes. GS: Could you tell us about Ed's routine when he worked for Utah? You were settled into the home there in Burlingame, and what time did he get up, and when did he go to work, and what kinds of time did he take away from the job with the family? Talk a little bit about that. JL: Well, he got up quite early. At first, he took the train from Burlingame to San Francisco. Breakfast about seven o'clock or something, and he was on his way pretty soon. GS: When did he get home, usually, in the afternoon? JL: He got home around six or something like that. GS: And you mentioned he played golf on Saturdays. JL: Yes. He loved golf, and was really quite good at it. He worked hard, but after he came back home or on weekends, he didn't want to have anything to do with business. And I remember that some people in the office would call on a Saturday afternoon, wanting to discuss something. I guess they'd say, "Well, I'm in the office," and Ed said, "I don't do any business over the weekends." GS: Good for him. JL: "I work hard during the week, but when I'm home, when I've done it, that's it." He 8 worked awfully hard, and there were times when he had to do more than that, but there was one thing that was funny. One year, he was elected director of the San Francisco Chamber of Commerce. He was elected there for one year, and he was out practically every night. I tagged along and had fun; I thought it was interesting. Of course, he didn't see the children very much because he left fairly early in the morning. I think it was the oldest child who said that he wanted his father to do something so he could actually see him. But it was only one year. GS: For one year. JL: But it was hard. GS: Otherwise, he really gave himself back to the family at night and on weekends. JL: Yes. GS: Now, speaking of you tagging along, did you get involved in much of the social scene in San Francisco and the arts? JL: Oh, I just loved it! GS: Tell us a little bit about that. JL: Ed would be the one who would say, "Well now, we should have so-and-so." We really entertained quite a bit, and we were entertained. I enjoyed it very much, I really did. It's funny to compare to some people who actually just hated it. GS: Don't you think that contributed to Ed's success, that you enjoyed that? JL: Well, I think I helped. I mean, I tagged along. I remember the first time we went to Japan. It was around '55, something like that. At that time, Utah was building ships. GS: Those big ore carriers? 9 JL: Yes, that's right. They would name each ship. We were at a business event in the middle of the country. It was Sunday and Ed said that the woman who was supposed to christen the boat could not come, and so they asked if we could go. I said, "Well, I tell you Ed, if I can get my hair done, and find someone to take care of the two boys, I'll go." And it was fun. I mean, all these things happened and I enjoyed it thoroughly. It's always intriguing, what's going on around you. I came to the United States as an exchange student; it was my idea. I was a student in Paris at the Sorbonne when I applied to come here. And I remember a friend said, "Why did you do that? Don't you like Paris?" I said, "I love Paris. I was born here, and it's marvelous. But I want to see something else; I'm curious." GS: So when you got involved in the social scene here, you just were interested, is that it? JL: That's right. GS: Did Ed involve you much in discussing company issues? Was he that kind of husband? JL: Not very much. I do remember before he joined with General Electric, he'd been trying to put Utah with another company. He said, "We've got too much loose money. Maybe I'll try Saint-this, or whatever." So, he did talk to me, and then later on, when he finally decided to try to get with General Electric, he told me not to say a thing, and that he knew that I would not say anything. I knew his secretary knew about the merger; it was a very small group that knew, but we were all very, very quiet about it. It was great that Ed knew that if he told me not to say anything about it, I wouldn't. 10 GS: That was an important decision that he made -- that General Electric merger. Would you talk a little more about that? I mean, do you remember the meeting, and all the hoopla that went with that? What were your impressions? JL: Well, we went to Australia with the then-president of General Electric, and I don't want to be quoted on this, but Ed was so much smarter than the other fella. I mean, think of the size of General Electric, and to have a little thing like Utah just— GS: Yeah, but come on, Ed was smart. JL: Oh, he was really very, very smart. We went to this thing in Australia and I know he just wrapped him right around his little finger. He really did. GS: He wrapped everybody around his finger. I mean, he was so smart. JL: Mm-hmm. GS: What do you think made Ed so successful, other than he was smart? Why was he so successful as the CEO of Utah? JL: Well, he was terribly bright. He would see other sides. When we had friends or family at our home, it would be very intimate and very nice. We'd have some discussion or something, and he would be very quiet for a long, long time. And Ed never said anything. They'd talk, talk, talk, and then say, "Well now Ed, what do you think?" Then he would share his thoughts, and they would say, "Why didn't we think of it?" He didn't talk a lot, but when he said something, it was worth it. He was just brilliant. What I hope is that—I have a little grandson, Jacques' little boy, he's not even two, but to me he looks just like Ed. It's just like a replica of Ed. 11 GS: Maybe we'll get another Ed. JL: I don't know. But, you know, you're born one way, and Ed was just very smart. The other thing that really meant a lot to him was being honest. GS: Yes. JL: I mean it. When we were at the airport on our trips, Ed would declare everything—every little thing worth one cent. I'd say, "Ed, that's just silly," but he said if he declared it they'd know he was honest. That's the way he was. GS: He really had that sense of integrity. JL: Oh, yes! He really was a marvelous man. People sometimes ask, "Isn't he awfully serious?" And I said, "Well, I guess if he has to be," but he had a marvelous sense of humor. GS: He did? JL: He did. You know, I miss him a lot. I'll never get anybody like that again. GS: You were lucky to have him all those years. JL: I know, I know. RS: He was lucky, too. GS: Yes. RS: One of the things about oral interviews is that sometimes they're a little taxing. We've talked with Roman, and he feels that we could come back tomorrow afternoon for maybe forty-five minutes and chat with you again, if that were all right with you. We've been going about forty-five or fifty minutes now, we don't want to wear you out, and you've got another appointment. JL: That's right. 12 RS: Would that be all right with you if we did that? JL: Roman, is that all right, if they come tomorrow? RG: Yes, let's say 2:30, and then if you come earlier just call us. RS: That will be just great. We're very appreciative of your time today, and we know you're busy with some other things, so we'll just come back tomorrow. GS: Let me start off by saying that we're in San Mateo, in the home of Jeannik Littlefield. Richard Sadler, Lisa Largent, Gene Sessions [and Roman Gronkowski] are present. It's May 31, 2006, and we're delighted that you would have us come back to talk with you a little further. Since yesterday, we've talked about our interview, and thought of some other things we wanted to ask you about. One thing we wanted to talk about was how you and Ed—and even now that he's gone—how you remain involved, and how you were involved in charity and causes in San Francisco. What was important to Ed, and what's important to you? JL: Well, what was important to Ed was education. He gave quite a bit to different big schools and things like that. Education was very important, and I think maybe medical research, too. He didn't care much about politics. Of course, people tried to get him to donate, but he just said, "Very minimum." But he was very, very generous. Every year I get a little pamphlet from Stanford with letters from the graduates who were able to go there because of Ed's endowment. It's very, very touching. 13 GS: How about the arts, like the opera? JL: That was my department. We'd go to museums and things like that, but he wasn't as excited about that as I was. He'd love to go to the Bohemian Club, and the music that they had there; that was his kind of music. After he passed away, I started endowing a lot at the opera and also the symphony, because that is what I really like. But when he was alive I know he endowed a lot, for instance, to Ducks Unlimited and that sort of thing. He liked that very much, and I let it go for, you know, a couple of years, and then stopped it. I told him to get something else. But education and giving to hospitals and things like that were most important to him. GS: Research. JL: Yes, research. And, as it turns out the three children have gotten the idea and they are all three of them quite interested in research. The one who's really interested is Jacques, because he's not in the best of physical health. But they're interested in helping, and they're very generous. Eddie is doing a lot of things for his type of music, which is not my type of music. That's all right. But as far as Ed was concerned, he wasn't too excited by music, or anything musical, except what he heard at the Bohemian Club. I mean, that was the kind of music that was marvelous to him, and that was what he really liked. GS: Did he sit on any charitable boards? JL: Charitable boards. Well, yes he did. I remember he was on the chair of a school in San Francisco, a Catholic school. I was kind of surprised, but I think that the fact that it was Catholic didn't have importance. He saw what they were doing, 14 and that they were helping, so he was on that board. And, let's see, what other boards? GS: Charitable boards. JL: I'm sure there were some others that I just can't think of now. GS: That was a good example, especially because it's educational. He really believed in educational support. Wonderful. RS: Did he go to the opera with you? JL: He went to the opera with me. He went as long as it didn't interfere with duck hunting. Duck hunting started in the middle of August or something like that, and after that, no. GS: No opera. JL: I could go and take my friends, but as long as it didn't interfere with that, he'd go. He wasn't crazy about it, but he liked some of the opera, he was very delighted when they started putting up the translation. LL: Oh, the surtitles. JL: Surtitles. That really changed things. I remember we went to one—it was a Russian one, beautiful. But if you don't understand Russian you really miss a lot. So, he really enjoyed the surtitles. He said, "Well, that was great!" So, you know, some he liked, and some he didn't. GS: What else entertained Ed, besides duck hunting and golf? What did he like to do? JL: Well, he loved fishing. I think he once said fishing really was his favorite, what he really liked the best. Of course, he was an excellent golfer. I remember there was 15 a picture of him when he was—well, he must have been in his fifties. He had a handicap of five, and he was among the top executives who were good players. He really was good. He liked hunting, too. I know as a relatively young fellow when he was finished with school he had a little boat; he liked sailing. As a matter of fact, the one who's taken after him is our oldest son, Eddie. Eddie had a ship made for him somewhere around Los Angeles, and then he went back up north, where he lives. Oh, he loves sailing. But Ed liked sailing very much; he liked an awful lot of things. GS: Did he like to read? JL: Yes, he liked to read. GS: What kinds of things would he read? JL: He liked to read the Who Dunnit books because it was so different from his business; it was recreation. But he read anything really. He certainly received a lot of books from people. He just was interested in so many things. He loved poetry, too. In fact, I started the poetry fund at Stanford in his memory. But he was interested in all kinds of reading. Apparently, as a child at school when other children would recite about the pretty posies and all that, he would talk about his grandfather who'd been in the war. [Referring to an incident when EWL as a 6- year-old recited a Rudyard Kipling poem in school (cf. EWL autobiography)]. LL: Well, it was something that he knew about. You have several books about Ronald Reagan. Did you know the Reagans? JL: Yes. We got to know a lot of people. GS: We wanted to talk to you a little bit about some of the big profile people he knew, 16 like the Reagans. Did you socialize with them when he was governor? What kind of experience did you have with the Reagans? JL: Ed admired him for what he'd done, and I had met him when Ed was in school at Berkeley. [Ed Littlefield never attended Berkeley.] Reagan came to talk to a group of people, and I didn't know who he was! At that time, all he was was an actor. I liked him very much, though. Ed was very fond of George Shultz, too. He was a great friend. Let's see, who else. Oh, I know, Kissinger. RS: Henry Kissinger? JL: Ed was very, very close with Kissinger. Let's see, I just can't think of any others. GS: What did he think about Nixon? JL: It's hard to tell. I don't think he was crazy about him, but on the other hand, he thought maybe Nixon had been kind of caught in a bad position. GS: How did he become close to Henry Kissinger and George Shultz? JL: That's a good question. I think that Ed ran into George Shultz at some meeting out East. I forget what it was, but they just hit it off. Of course, Ed was very, very fond of Kissinger, very much. We had some trips with them; I remember going to China with them. There were only four, no maybe six of us, and it was at the time when they had just discovered this huge amount of old—what do I want to say? RS: The soldiers? JL: The soldiers. LL: Oh, that's right. GS: Yeah, the clay soldiers. JL: That's right. When was that? That must have been in about '80-something. 17 RS: Yeah, early '80-something. JL: Yes. They just opened the door, and we went and saw that. Yes, but Ed was very, very fond of Kissinger. GS: What did you think of Kissinger? JL: I like him very much too. Unfortunately, I read the other day in the paper that again they found some papers that said he did such and such in south Africa—or perhaps South America. He wrote very well, and did very well, but obviously he was just not exactly a native American, and I think that effected how a lot of people thought of him. Which is too bad, because I think he is brilliant. LL: Oh, he is brilliant. RS: Well, he did great service, I think, for the United States. JL: Oh, he did, I know, he really did. As I said, he admired Ed a lot; so did Shultz, and quite a few really. Ed had a lot of friends. At The Grove there was just a quantity of very, very interesting people, and that's why he liked it so much. GS: You mentioned yesterday that they talked to him about coming back to Washington and being this or that. Why did he not want to do that anymore? JL: Well, because of the little bit of experience that he had during the war. Ralph Davies was the one he had worked with during the war and the one that asked him to come back. He worked for Ralph about two years, but what Ralph really wanted was to have his name in the paper, whether it was good or not. Ed saw a lot of this thing: people who were interested in just being known. He had absolutely no use for this. Later on, one of his uncles, or someone, said "Ed could be part of the Cabinet" or something, but he just didn't want that. 18 Ed belonged to a lot of clubs, too. Not just for fun, but a lot of civic organizations. He would get to the top—I mean, he wasn't president, but right under the president. Then the minute they would want him to be president, he'd say no. When other friends were asked to do those things he was thrilled for them, but not for himself. GS: Those things didn't interest him? JL: No, but he would do all he could to help them up to the top, and then that was it. More than that didn't interest him. GS: Could we talk about the family, the Wattis family? JL: Yes. GS: We've talked with a lot of folks, in both the E.O. and W.H. families, and we talked a little bit yesterday about them. But tell us about your associations with the family, especially when Ed joined the company in 1951. What were your involvements with the family? JL: Well, of course, we were very friendly with all the family—that would be Ed's mother, and Phil Wattis, and there were five girls, and I guess three boys, but only one survived. GS: Yes, two died. JL: So, we were very friendly. Now, I say "we," but really I didn't know the others. I mean, once in a while we'd run into someone—but it didn't mean much. Ed knew them, but he wasn't that close to them. When he got his job from Eccles, one of the things he didn't want to have to cope with was hiring family just because they were family, and all that kind of thing. I can't say much about the rest of the 19 family. GS: Did you have much social interaction with the family? JL: Well, we did with Pat and his wife because they were here. We did see Marguerite and all her sisters; but, of course, Ed knew them much better. I would maybe run into one of them, but I just didn't really know them. GS: What about the W.H. family? Did you know any of the people on that side? JL: No, I didn't. GS: When Ed came on board in 1951, there'd been a little division there. They'd sold their stock, on that side of the family, and so you had very little to do with the W.H. people? JL: No, I didn't. Why did they sell, because they didn't like Ed? GS: No, it wasn't about Ed. It had to do with the Ranch, and the Bowman's. JL: Yeah, I would hear the names, but I didn't know them. We lived here, in this area, and they were in Utah, so we just didn't see much of them. GS: Tell us a little bit about your travels. You talked a little bit yesterday about traveling with Ed, but what were some favorite places you went to with him? You talked about China, you talked about going to Europe, you talked about going to Japan. JL: I just loved to travel, but I don't think he was quite as eager as I was. He went because he had to, and so I tagged along and just had a marvelous time. Wherever we went, it was something new. The fact that I spoke French and some German helped a little bit. He had to travel; if it hadn't been for that, I don't think he would have traveled that much. I remember one time, though, we went 20 to the south of France, and then traveled all the way to the edge of France. He said, "We've been gone for about twelve days and I didn't even play bridge or golf or anything, but we've had a great time." GS: He got lost in the trip, huh? JL: Yes, he enjoyed it. I think we enjoyed traveling together, so that was fun. GS: But you liked it a little better than he did. JL: Oh, sure. As a matter of fact, the other day I was talking to Jacques and his wife—his wife, you know, is from South America, from Guatemala. We were just chatting, and I said, "You know, Sandy, I think someday I'd like to go to Guatemala." And she said, "Oh, good!" Of course, I was just saying that, I'm not able to travel the way I used to. But Ed enjoyed going with friends, so I think we both enjoyed it. GS: Did you go to Australia with him more than once? JL: Yes. That was the place I liked least. I didn't care for it. Some parts of Australia, like Sydney, were nice, but getting a little farther away it just— GS: It was like the Wild West? JL: Yes, like the Wild West. When Ed retired from Utah International, they wanted to give a big party for him in Australia. Well, this was in June, and on one end of the week Ed was playing in a very important golf game at one of his favorite courses. On the other end of the week—I had an arrangement every year, a sort of big hoedown or something, on Jacques' ranch. So, I said to Ed, "I can't go to Australia! And anyway, they have people here in San Francisco. Why don't they do it here?" I didn't want to go, but he said, "Well, if you go, I'll take you to the 21 opera." I was curious because I'd never seen the opera in the Sydney Opera House, so I said, "Okay, all right, we'll go." LL: He used the opera to entice you. JL: We went and unfortunately, the only thing that we could see was a Russian one, which we had seen together before, and Ed had sworn he would never see it again. We just left about half-way through; that was enough. But I was glad to see the Opera House. But no, I never could get very excited about Australia. GS: It's a long plane ride. JL: It is. RS: Where did Ed like to go fishing? Did he fish in lakes, or rivers, or— JL: He liked the rivers and fishing for trout. RS: Was he a fly-fisherman? JL: Yes, he was a fly-fisherman. RS: So he fished up in Idaho? JL: Yes, with his cousin, Ed Dumke. That was his favorite fishing, but he fished in quite a few places. As a matter of fact, he went to Canada—I wasn't there—and I guess they were in part of French Canada. He spoke a lot of French and it helped. RS: Well, you taught him well. JL: Well, I really didn't. When we were first married, on our honeymoon, I spoke French as much as I could, and it was fine. Well, the minute we got home it was back to business, he didn't have time to take a French lesson. He picked up a little bit here and there, but he never was really good in French. Now the children, 22 Denise is very, very good, and she never had a lesson until high school, but I talked to her, and she enjoyed it. And her brother, Jacques, same thing, I just talked to him. I remember one summer I rented a house in Normandy, and there were about fourteen of us, a lot of cousins. Of course, the cousins didn't speak any English, so they all learned French. The only one who just refused to learn French was Eddie, the oldest. He was the one that I really spoke French to the most. I would speak French, and he would answer me in English, and he just didn't want to learn it. GS: Do you think Eddie understands French fairly well? If you spoke to him, he must have learned to understand it. JL: Yes, well, I guess he understands it a little bit. Jacques just kind of sounds like he's much better than he is, but that's okay, that's all right. Of course, Denise is marvelous. GS: She's charming. JL: Isn't she? She's just wonderful. And speaking of languages—this is not about Ed, but funny. When Jacques had his last little baby—who's about a year-and-a-half— when he was born his mother was all excited, and she started talking to him in English. I said, "Sandy, you speak good English, but that's not your native language. Speak Spanish to him, because that's your language and it's gonna be perfect. When he grows up, he'll get to learn English anyway." So she did, and she said, "I'm glad you said that." But sometime—I don't care what the language is—some people just look at it the wrong way. Instead of— GS: To raise bilingual children is a wonderful idea. 23 JL: Sure! And the minute you have two languages, then the third or fourth comes that much easier. GS: When you traveled, did Ed mix business with pleasure very well? You mentioned that when he was home he didn't want to mess with business, but traveling sometimes you have to do both at the same time. JL: Oh yes, yes, he did. Whenever I was invited, we had a great time. GS: He was able to do his business, and spend time enjoying the scenery and traveling, and took enough time to make you feel like it was worthwhile? JL: Yes, mm-hmm. I loved traveling. GS: What was your favorite trip with him? JL: Well, I loved the trip to South America when they were digging coal or something like that. GS: In Peru. JL: In Peru. And I loved it. It was wonderful. I had studied a little Spanish, but I might just as well have forgotten it, because the people that we met all spoke French, German, and English. But I liked it very much. I went to Machu Picchu, but Ed could not because of the altitude. So he said to go with someone else in the group. Whenever I had a chance I just went and looked and saw what there was to be seen, which was great. It wasn't a trip—but I also loved to go with Ed to the famous golf tournament in the East, the Masters at Augusta. I loved that. Of course, he was a member, but I was not. They have nothing for the ladies, but everybody was so nice, just as nice as can be; but there was that woman— making noise and wanting to have women members. I thought, "Just leave things 24 alone." I loved Augusta. Obviously, it's a tough course, but for my kind of golf, it was not as hard as some others, because the best part of my game was putting. RS: That's terrific. GS: Now, you mentioned again that at home he didn't want to do business. When he played golf did he do business, or did he just play golf for enjoyment? JL: No, it was just for enjoyment. GS: Just for enjoyment. He didn't go out there to make business deals and all that kind of thing? JL: Well, I think when he went and played with Eccles—that was kind of business. GS: That was business. That's the most famous golf game he ever played, when he played Marriner. JL: That, and then when we were in Australia and he played with the then-president of General Electric. That was a little bit business, but you wouldn't have known. I mean, he was very fun. GS: It was better to enjoy and to get away from business, more than to do business. JL: Mm-hmm, yes. RS: What golf courses did he like to play here on the peninsula? What were his favorite one or two courses? JL: He liked Cypress Point, and I'm still a member of it. RS: Spyglass Hill is down there, too. JL: Yes, we didn't play there, but at Cypress. That's a tough course. RS: The wind blows a lot, doesn't it? JL: That and it was short and narrow. The first time Ed took me there he said, 25 "Jeannik, this should be easy for you because it's shorter than Burlingame." I said, "You don't know what you're saying!" But it was a wonderful course, really. LL: Did he give you any nicknames, like Jenny? JL: No, no. LL: He didn't nickname you. JL: Lots of people have tried to give me a nickname or something. It doesn't work. LL: Well, Jeannik is a beautiful name. JL: I have three granddaughters, but none of them is Jeannik. RG: It's time. GS: Thank you, Roman. RS: Let me ask one more question. How did he get to work in San Francisco? Did he ride the train, or did he drive? What did he do? JL: Well, after he got the job we had this house in Hillsborough, and he would take the train. He could have walked to the station, but didn't because he always had such a heavy briefcase. There was a carpool from the San Francisco station to the office, and that's how he did it. RS: Roman is wisely telling us that this is good for the time. We appreciate very much your taking the time with us this afternoon to help us out. JL: Well, I enjoyed it because I love to think about Ed. He was really something special. RS: Your thoughts are very valuable to us. Thank you.

Luv this dress
I read the reviews before I bought this dress. I bought it in black for a black friday event. I am a 34B and a size 0 and a small fits me like a glove. I love this dress it its so figure flattering. I shows every curve!! I think the cut out makes it such a classy sexy.
December 18, 2012
Nothing like picture
"I ordered the light wine, and it looks nothing like the picture.
it look more like a dark pink. from the picture it also look like a bodycon dress the material is more like a silk curtain with a piece of cloth underneath. returning ASAP
November 28, 2012
Very Happy
I am 5 ft. 3 in., 107 lbs. and usually a size 0-1. The XXS fits me perfectly (ok, it is a teeny bit long, I'm short). I often have to return Bebe dresses because, although I wear a very small size, I have a 32D bust and the dresses are too small in the bust but they fit through the waist and hips. This dress has enough stretch to fit nicely.....so all you thin little big-boob girls can snap this dress right up....it is gorgeous!
November 16, 2012
Amazing ON!
OMG, I just bought this dress yesterday and it is THE DRESS! I cant wait to wear it to a Christmas party. I am 5 ft 2 about 110 and very curvy... sexy as can be!

Tree Pest and Disease Alerts
Golden Spotted Oak Borer Infestation
The goldspotted oak borer is a pest new to southern California that can kill mature trees. This insect aggressively attacks three oak species with repeat attacks occurring over several years. It is contributing to the on-going oak tree mortality occurring on federal, state, private, and Native American lands in San Diego County and has the potential to kill native oak species throughout California.
Learn more from the University of California Agriculture and Natural Resources.
Asian Citrus Psyllid
All of Los Angeles, Orange, Ventura and Imperial counties as well as parts of San Bernardino, San Diego and Riverside counties are under temporary state emergency quarantine by the California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA) for the Asian citrus psyllid and the deadly disease it spreads – citrus greening disease also known as Huanglongbing (HLB) or yellow dragon disease. This quarantine regulates the movement of the trees and fruit of citrus and closely-related plants. More information at: www.saveourcitrus.org.
Federal, state and county officials are working with growers to implement the quarantine and hopefully prevent the spread of the Asian citrus psyllid in California.
For regulatory information regarding the movement of trees and tree parts (wood, fruits, rootstock, leaves, seeds, scion wood), contact the U.S.D.A. State Plant Health Director's office at (916) 930-5500.
You can download a free app (for iPhone, iPad, iPod touch) to report findings and have instant access to the insect and disease descriptions.

Streets paved with soccer | Atlanta-birthed grassroots program teaches game and life in 'Soccer 101'
The documentary Soccer in the Streets follows a "Soccer 101″ football immersion at Mary McLeod Bethune Elementary School in Atlanta's Vine City neighborhood in 2003. (© 2004 Journey Productions, Billy Hazzard Productions)
We are grateful for the biweekly indulgence, from the north Atlanta studios of WGSR, of speaking to soccer-impassioned people about soccer. Today we featured Soccer in the Streets, part of the streetfootballworld network of some 80 football-based social-development initiatives aimed at communal and personal transformation.
Executive director Jill Robbins and rising high school senior DeAndré Harrison, 17, a Soccer in the Streets alumnus and summer intern, speak of their lives in soccer. Harrison recalls his adjustment period with uniform shorts—he started with Soccer in the Streets at age 8—only to rise to representing the program last summer at the Copa Andrés Escobar, part of the streetfootballworld festival in Berlin. He was the team's youngest player. (See the festival website at festival06.org.)
DeAndré Harrison and Jill Robbins, 10 Jul 07.
Robbins addresses the role of Soccer in the Streets in filling the need in America's soccer culture for playing space, coaching and direction for children outside the network of elite clubs and academies. Soccer in the Streets emphasizes service to the African American and Latino communities of Atlanta and has piloted the conversion of moribund tennis courts into street soccer "boxes" on which children learn the small-sided street game. (For photos of a 2004 "street-box" tournament, see our Flash presentation.) If the suburban and predominantly white soccer training centers represent the grassroots of U.S. soccer, Robbins says, then Soccer in the Streets is the "dirt."
It essentially is a street game. It's about creativity. It's about innovation. It's about letting the kids express themselves and not overstructure and overmanage, and give them ownership of the game. … [The street boxes] open their minds to any space becoming a pitch. It doesn't have to be 120 yards long and 60 yards wide with grass and lines and goals. It can be your garage floor, it could be your back alley, it could be your front yard, it could be a dirt space. It doesn't matter. I tell people I could teach soccer in a phone booth if I had to, because it's just that kind of game.
"I loved … going to the boxes," says Harrison of his soccer upbringing.

Statement from the UW Oshkosh Senate of Academic Staff
Statement from the UW Oshkosh Senate of Academic Staff
We, the Senate of Academic Staff at UW Oshkosh, represent 823 employees at this institution. We urge you, our elected officials, to consider the concerns of thousands of your constituents who have spoken out at the State Capitol and in their home districts. Many newly elected officials campaigned on the idea of reducing the size of government without outlining details. Those details are now public and the priorities of the State have shifted to support a new agenda. Indeed, the new reality of our State leadership favors some individuals while taking the rights of others. The motto of the State of Wisconsin, as displayed on our state flag, proclaims "FORWARD." Forward thinking seems no longer being applied.
The mismanagement and speculation of the housing and banking sectors have lead to fiscal crises nationwide. Removing organized labor rights and/or indiscriminately reducing compensation packages for all State employees will not solve the current budget shortfall. Many of our constituents are taking steps to cut back on expenses or to defer large purchases; therefore the local economy will continue to feel the impact into at least the continuing short term future.
The public needs to be more fully aware of the details of the proposed bill and educated on its advantages and disadvantages. The media's oversimplifications of this complex bill are not helpful. Clichés such as "The State is broken" or "State employees need to pay their fair share" are tools to misinform and pit public opinion against public employees. Such sweeping generalizations are unacceptable statements from our State leadership who are accountable to everyone, not just those who supported individual candidates' campaigns or ideologies. The long tradition of success of the State of Wisconsin continues to depend on the representation of all residents.
We respectfully ask that if our State is broken, why did the legislature enact tax credits for the very rich a few weeks ago? Sacrifice for this budget crisis should be shared by all citizens. Economics professors within our College of Business calculate that were the State to increase the sales tax by a mere .16%, this action alone would meet the biennial shortfall. Especially because the economy seems gradually to be improving, a temporary tax would allow for an equal distribution of the tax burden to those that have maintained purchasing power.
Furthermore, these are some facts we ask you to consider:
1. Misleading information widely publicized in the media suggests that State employees do not contribute their fair share. This is untrue; examination of total compensation (wages + benefits) in at least two separate studies (one at UW- Milwaukee and another at the highly respected Economic Policy Institute in Washington, DC) find that total compensation (wages + benefits) for WI public sector workers is actually about 5% below the private sector. The proposed salary reductions resulting from increased pension contributions and health insurance payments would increase this differential for state workers to about 13% below parity with the private sector.
2. Many of us have taken or will take on additional responsibilities to meet the demands of growing numbers of incoming students. While the UW System continues to be strong and challenged with record enrollment numbers, the employees at our schools continue to accomplish more with fewer resources.
Some of the research supporting these facts can be reviewed here:
3. As documented by the public statements from the Academic Staff Senate at UW Milwaukee, UW Madison's Academic Staff Assembly and those of other sister institutions, the efforts and hardship endured by State employees have not been represented accurately by elected officials. A severe impact on compensation and benefits may trigger a chain reaction on local economies.
Sources of these facts:
4. Research by the Institute for Wisconsin's Future confirms that the current budget proposal could take 900 million to 1.2 billion dollars out of the State economy. The general public needs to realize that this budget approach will not only impact State employees but also those businesses near their communities.
Sources of these facts:
Analysis and Commentary:
·Many of our UW constituents may leave the State to avoid the undue hardships of a labor environment that has already not been competitive for many years. Many campus leaders fear that the very best employees will depart to other states. We urge the human resource units throughout the State and specifically our campus human resource office to document and report the impact this action may have on new hires, retirements, departures and the capacity of our University to recruit and retain new talent.
·Affordable education for all is the best answer for the economic predicament the State is experiencing. Constituents need to ask questions regarding proposals to increase tuitions at rates never experienced before. While other countries like Canada and China invest in education, we continue to cut back on State funding on the premise of budget issues. We understand that it doesn't take an advanced degree to run for office, but education is nevertheless an important element of the notion that the State is "Open for Business" --unless the reference to word "business" is about low paying jobs. Instead, we must invest in education and in green and sustainable initiatives.
·We believe that misinformation has been distributed regarding compensation levels for UW employees. We urge the UW System to disclose the Redbook (HR budget document) to the public via the websites that currently are available within our campus networks. Educating the public on the realities of our compensation is necessary for a fair discussion. Access to the UW System Redbook would allow the general population to acknowledge the compensation levels of those currently employed by the State. We believe a study on the overall compensation packages should be sponsored and delivered by the UW System. (See http://systemwide.uwsa.edu/budplan).
·We strongly support the premise that all public and private employees have equal rights to collective bargaining efforts. The currently proposed budget bill would eliminate fifty years of collective bargaining which has provided quality education.
·Public employees are being compared to private sector employees on many levels; but when the private sector does well economically, it is possible for those employees to obtain bonuses, pay raises and better benefits. This is not the case for the public sector. Some public employees must rely on the unions to negotiate on their behalf. Non-represented employees also benefit from the negotiations that take place on behalf of collective bargaining.
·We urge our elected officials to stop vilifying State Employees and Unions by referring to State employees as the class of "haves" sponsored by the class of "have nots." Statements shared through the media about appreciating the work we do have been disingenuous at best because they have not been paired with good faith efforts to negotiate. The rhetoric refers to public employees as bottom feeders, leeches, or hooligans. This is unacceptable! The stripping of rights for teachers and other public employees falsely accepts that these demeaning descriptions are accurate. We believe it is our responsibility to take a stand on behalf of all educators to prevent the erosion of what is and has been a UW System with a long tradition of providing quality education. This State is less likely to attract quality instructors at the post-secondary level if the climate in the State is to under-value the work they do. This will have long-term negative consequences on the State as a whole.
·The budget should not be balanced solely by the sacrifice of State employees and their families. These measures will only yield about $300 million towards a shortfall projected to be over $3 billion. Legislators who truly want solutions should consider spreading the burden by raising taxes equally on Wisconsin's corporations and wealthiest individuals. The new measures proposed by Governor Walker will push the tax burden to the local level. The governor calls it tooling the municipalities for the budget downfall; we call it passing the buck.
We urge all members of the legislative bodies to oppose Governor Walker's seriously flawed budget repair bill. Regardless of ideology or party affiliation, State government represents all residents of Wisconsin. The democracy we uphold espouses a process of debate and negotiation to reach a consensus.

Nurse practitioners ranked fourth and RNs sixth on U.S. News & World Report's annual list of the best jobs. Employment opportunity, salary, work-life balance and job security were among the factors in the rankings. NPs and RNs were second and third, respectively, among healthcare jobs. Dentists were first, and were No. 3 overall behind software developers and computer systems analysts.
"Nurses Shatter the Stereotype," a new video from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, spotlights the many roles that nurses can fill, and the many ways that they make a difference – from counseling domestic violence victims to serving in Congress. Watch the video.
In a new post on the Chamberlain blog, a recent graduate of the Jacksonville campus provides a list of nine things that every male nurse should know.
"You are studying to be a nurse, not a male nurse," writes Femi Borisade (left). "Your female classmates are not studying to be 'female nurses.' Just as female medical students break the gender barriers in medicine, we will continue to break the gender barriers in nursing." Read more.
When she was a child, Stacey Newby wanted to be a nurse. She ended up taking a different direction with her career, majoring in communications and working as a mortgage officer for nine years.
But something kept bringing her back to nursing, and in her mid-30s, Stacey enrolled in Chamberlain's Atlanta campus. She is set to graduate this year with her BSN.
While some of her organizational and customer management skills have carried over, nursing is taking Newby to new depths of service. "I was in a public service profession, and I knew how to talk and relate to people, but nursing calls on your compassion at a much deeper level. It's much more spiritual for me," she said. Read the full story in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
Jennifer Krassinger, RN, a 2008 graduate of Chamberlain's RN to BSN degree completion option, is the founder of Giving Is a Family Tradition (GiFT), a St. Louis-based 501(c)3 nonprofit organization dedicated to assisting families who are faced with the hospitalization of their newborn.
Among the latest recipients of aid from the organization: baby Lillian (pictured here), who was born four months premature and whose family recently lost everything in a house fire. GiFT is helping to collect items to help the family get resettled and eventually welcome their baby home. Learn more at givingisafamilytradition.org
Rachel Anderson, MSN, RN is a graduate of our RN-BSN degree completion option and MSN Healthcare Policy Specialty Track.
As part of her MSN studies, she drafted a policy on brain injury that may be considered by state legislators later this year. What she gained from the experience also applies to her current position as director of a rehabilitation center in Des Moines, Iowa.
"Even on a nursing level, when you change policy, everybody has to be on the same page," she said. "Now I'm able to speak to that and say, 'This is how this change is going to benefit you.'"
She earned an associate degree in nursing and began working in acute rehab units. As her career progressed, her dedication to her specialty – and specifically to brain injury rehabilitation – grew.

SanDisk makes a good, durable product. I was shocked at the price as I purchased the same card at a discount retailer for more than twice as much. This card was purchased to go with a new camera I was gifting my sister, and I needed a high-volume card for video recording purposes. I am pleased with the product and I would tell you not to hesitate to purchase this one as you probably won't find a 16GB card anywhere else, for this price.
Standard SD card just like the ones you would buy in the store..
I have to wonder why any other manufacturer bothers to market the same products. Sandisk is far and away the most consistent and best quality in storage media.
One of the best memory card on the market, Reliable.
This 16 GB Secure Digital High Capacity memory chip is working well in my HP digital camera.
The disk holds a good bit of data and readily loads photos into my laptop. When I insert the disk, it acts sort of like a CD and I'm prompted to import it, etc. The photos go to a drive which is clearly marked and the pictures seemlessly go into my photo software. Unlike the Olympus Stylus VG-180 digital camera, the scan disk is easy to work with.
Good delivery time and value Good delivery time and value
I bought this product online and used it to back up all of my info on the PC, It was shipped and got to my house in less than 6 business days. I'm very satisfied with it , I easily put 13 Gigs of info on it. Thanks for a good product at a very reasonable price...dillinger1 :-)

I am performing the part of Leonard Meryll. Of course you can learn more about The Yeomen of the Guard on StageAgent here: http://stageagent.com/Shows/View/1135 .
The Stanford Savoyards Present
A Gilbert & Sullivan Operetta
When: April 18, 19, 26 @ 8pm; April 27 @ 2:30pm
Where: Dinkelspiel Auditorium, Stanford
How: Tickets are available online at www.stanford.edu/group/savoyards , by phone and in person via the Stanford Ticket Office (650-725-ARTS), from any of your friendly neighborhood Savoyards (cast/crew/orchestra sales are discounted!), and at the door. (Also look for us in White Plaza.)
$8 students/$12 seniors/$16 general.
The Details:
Directed by David Euresti and Kenzi Shelby ('10), and featuring Greg Anderson as conductor, the Savoyards' production of The Yeomen of the Guard takes place in the Tower of London during the reign of King Henry VIII. At the start, the gentleman Colonel Fairfax is falsely accused of sorcery and sentenced to death within the hour. Fairfax hatches a plan to avoid letting his estate fall into the hands of his scheming cousin (incidentally, his accuser) by secretly marrying Elsie Maynard (Arunima Kohli, '11), a strolling singer. She agrees to be blindfolded during the ceremony and expects to be a wealthy widow upon Fairfax's imminent demise, leaving her free to marry her lover, the jester Jack Point. However, Fairfax miraculously escapes his fate and throws the Tower -- and his bride -- into confusion. True love, courtship lessons, mistaken identities, and lots of singing and dancing (lest you think this was Shakespeare...) ensue.
Yeomen is widely recognized as the darkest of Gilbert & Sullivan's operettas, and many consider the score to be Sullivan's finest.
With a special cameo appearance by Sleep & Dreams guru Dr. Bill Dement, this production is not to be missed!

The Laurie M. Tisch Gallery accepts exhibition proposals from artists, curators, and organizations that explore themes that resonate with the mission of The JCC in Manhattan.
Through its dynamic programming, The JCC in Manhattan creates an inclusive community guided by Jewish values. We have found that many of those values are universal, and the Gallery presents a perfect opportunity for exploring them. The Laurie M. Tisch Gallery is a versatile exhibition space dedicated to the promotion of multi-disciplinary exhibits that offer new perspectives on the rich history and values of the community. The gallery hosts five to six exhibitions every year, each one running for approximately two to three months. Exhibits range from solo artist shows, to historical multi-media exhibits and touring shows from museums and galleries around the world.
A public space, the Gallery welcomes thousands of people each week, young and old, Jewish and non-Jewish. All visitors can engage with the images and ideas expressed in this unique public space.
Before you submit your work for review, we recommend you spend some time looking through our website, jccmanhattan.org. In the Gallery section, jccmanhattan.org/gallery, you can familiarize yourself with our past shows, and you can explore The JCC in Manhattan's diverse programming and services throughout the rest of the site. In addition, please consult the gallery dimensions for a sense of the space's characteristics.
Exhibition proposals are reviewed on an ongoing basis by the Gallery Director. If a proposal is of interest, it will be reviewed by the Gallery's curatorial committee. An exhibition proposal should include:
Please E-MAIL all proposal materials to email@example.com.
If your proposal must be mailed, please send it to:
Megan Whitman Director of The Laurie M. Tisch Gallery The JCC in Manhattan 334 Amsterdam Ave. New York, NY 10023
Please note: Due to high volume, we are unable to return submissions. Please do not mail us your precious or limited resources. Thank you in advance.
Due to the multi-purpose nature of our Gallery space, we almost exclusively display works created on flat surfaces. Please consider visiting the space if you work in a 3-D medium.
The process of reviewing your work may take several months. We will contact you if we require more information or if your proposal was selected for further consideration. Please do not call or walk in to discuss your proposal. Thank you!

i've been digi-scrapping for just under a year. started paper scrapping 4 years ago with my granddaughter's start in kindergarten (her Mom was active Navy and Dad travelled with his job, so i had my granddaughter living with me) i still paper scrap, and have always used the computer to make elements for it - like making borders and stickers out of kindergarten drawings to use on the pages.
i love digi-scrapping - i can walk away from it and not worry about someone spilling juice on my work, and my husband can't see how "messy" my desk is!
i use photoshop elements 4 - but still learning all it can do.

Anyone know how?
I moved all my 722 files to an external hard drive, and I can see them on the hard drive which is now connected to the hopper.
I wanted to restore them on the hopper, but I can't figure it out.
Any ideas?
On the 722 I always found it easier to work with TV shows on the local box as compared to the external drive, so I'm assuming the same is true on the hopper.
You could keep and play these from EHD. Why clogging new h2k's drive ?

Drupal Gardens preview screencast
Last week at DrupalCon Paris, we demonstrated a pre-alpha version of Drupal Gardens, which will allow non-technical users to go from design to online with a powerful Drupal 7 social publishing website in a matter of hours instead of days. The Acquia engineering team has been hard at work implementing Gardens on top of Drupal 7 and we wanted to show a small taste of things to come. For those who didn't get to see the demonstration at Drupalcon, or want to see it again, I recorded this 11 minute screencast where I theme and style a fictional vineyard web site using the Drupal Gardens ThemeBuilder.
Interested in trying Drupal Gardens? Sign up at http://drupalgardens.com and we'll keep you informed of Drupal Gardens news and updates.
Very impressive. I especially look forward to hearing about your reseller program (if any).
Tom Geller * San Francisco * http://www.tomgeller.com
http://www.gellerguides.com *
i feel it needs more niche appeal. which probably is an oxymoron with the "gardens" concept, but you either have "me" a developer who will start with core, or a "web associate/marketing" person who may not know how to leverage drupal to their site's advantage.
Hi Michael,
Thanks for your feedback. Before we started building Gardens we talked
a lot about who most needed a product like this. We concluded that the
people who will benefit most from Drupal Gardens are people building
small business/organization sites. This includes both developers and
also site owners (web associate/marketing person, as you mentioned).
This proved to be true when we showed Gardens at Drupalcon last week.
We had a ton of interest from developers, designers, and also from
site owners, like marketing people.
However, your point is a good one in that we need to make sure we're giving both developers and site owners the features they need. So let us know if there are specific features that you would want to see. thanks
Wow! I really like what I see.
Will it be possible to install extra modules?
Is it a new drupal hosting service provided by Acaquia or few extra modules open for public for the up coming D7 ?
Should you guys be in the "we're considering that" mode. It would be nice if you guys offered a white label service to other companies. While building out a service, which does the cool things you show is certainly possible for an adept team, it makes a lot more sense to leverage what you've created and the infrastructure you've got behind it.
After all, we are at the cross roads of living in the cloud. :) Why build it when someone else already has? You retain your strategic advantage with the 'builder' code you've invested in. The only thing lacking is either install profile support (or features support) along with the ability to have other modules installed.
Matt Petrowsky
Are you embarrassed at all to have so plainly copied Squaresapce, tacking on what appears to be little to no real innovation?
You've literally copied our menu alignment, animations, ui controls, color schemes, wording, and demo format.
Congratulations, you've redefined "me too" business.
Would the themeing portion be available as a standalone module later on? Are full modules going to be allowed to be uploaded to gardens? It would be great to add in our own client-maleable themes, like in the preview.
I totally respect that Acquia is a business and needs to think about the bottom line. In saying that I believe the ability to easily theme Drupal is exactly what we need to take Drupal to the next level. At some point in time every CMS aims to make theming easier and in the near future this is something Drupal will need in core or contrib to compete with other CMSs.
Seeing this sooner than later would give a lot of people a great reason to start using Drupal or make the switch to Drupal. And of course this benefits the whole community, not just Acquia.
I think it'd be a shame to see Drupal Gardens theming ability stay locked away only to have another developer try to replicate it in Contrib at a later date and have other CMSs include the same functionality when Drupal could be first to the mark.
Great work though, I'm absolutely amazed at this. I'm really looking forward to seeing how it evolves and develops.
I've been watching the video and i think it's a great project.
The way you create the site name and the url its very nice. Have you created some modules to do this? and Are these modules going to be public ? I'm very interested in this way of creating new subdomains.
It works well for WordPress and I'm sure a hosted solution will work well in growing the Drupal community also. I prefer the simplicity of WordPress unless there is a justification for the features of Drupal. But this could give me an excuse to use Drupal for simple sites also. I look forward to seeing how you deal with the limits of the WYSIWYG editor.
the audio on this video is really low - even with the player and computer volumes on full I can barely hear the narration
