KCET is celebrating its 50th anniversary year with a series of stories, reflections, and flashbacks, like this throwback below. For more and to participate in our next 50 years, join us at kcet.org/50.
KCET has had a proud news history of reporting news. My personal knowledge goes back only to "28 Tonight," but this tradition went all the way back to the start. KCET has always taken news very seriously and continues to do so under our current president, Al Jerome. As a matter of fact, our new season of "SoCal Connected" is gearing up as I write this post, so I thought I'd take a look back at a few of those shows, many of which have featured Val Zavala, KCET's Vice President of News & Public Affairs as well as the longtime anchor of "SoCal Connected," in integral roles.
"28 Tonight"
In the late 70s, KCET had "28 Tonight," which lasted from around 1976 until 1981. I think they may have shot the remote pieces on film, until we finally got some video remote cameras in the late 70s. Because I wasn't working at the station at that point, it is hard for me to pinpoint when we did the switch over to tape. What I do know is I saw reels and reels of news footage in our vaults when I arrived. As with most news shows that we do, "28 Tonight" was usually a hybrid between a live in-studio segment and the remote taped pieces. Clete Roberts was a part of that studio team for "28 Tonight," as I mentioned in my post on The Flying Wing story.
"KCET Newsbeat with Clete Roberts"
1981 brought along a huge increase in production funding, and so "KCET Newsbeat with Clete Roberts" was created. It lasted until June 1982, when it was canceled due to the financial disaster and a lack of funds. It was live five days a week and then on Fridays, we also shot a show called "L.A. Week in Review" that caught viewers up on the news of the week. Reporter Jeffrey Kaye was one of the studio reporters and he went on to do other shows for us and eventually to join the "MacNeil/Lehrer Newshour" as their L.A. reporter.
Huell Howser's Videologs
At a get-together we had after the death of Huell Howser, former KCET station manager Stephen Kulczycki said he came to Los Angeles to begin rebuilding our news presence after the financial disaster. He arrived in 1983 and began to look for things he could do with a small budget. One of the first things he did was hire Huell Howser, who had wanted to move on from KNXT, where he was shooting little "Happy News" pieces. He brought his idea to KCET and Stephen hired him in 1985, to make the now-famous Videolog fillers. These aired throughout our schedule, to give us an inexpensive local presence. (Read more about the Videologs here.)
Stephen created a quarterly news show called "KCET Journal" that did one-hour, in-depth documentaries about subjects of interest. During the mid-80s we produced "Turning Points," in which we followed someone at a critical point in their life. One installment profiled a young mother deciding whether to keep her baby or give it up for adoption. It was a novel concept. Jon Wilkman, the producer of "Turning Points," also worked on a three-year history series called "The Los Angeles History Project." William Mulholland, Central Avenue and Harris Newmark's Los Angeles were among the subjects covered. KCET produced a total of 12 episodes.
"California Stories" and "7:30" came along in 1988. "California Stories" was a half-hour show that dealt with a wide range of subjects, including arts and science stories. Roger Bingham, Teya Ryan, Peter Graumann, were some of the producer/reporters who worked on shows. "7:30," meanwhile, gave us back a five-minute nightly news presence at 7:30 p.m. each evening.
In July of 1989 "California Stories" ended and morphed into little daily pieces called "Take Five." There were Take Five Arts" and "Take Five Science," and Huell Howser's shorts became "Take Five Videolog." This addition gave Videolog a set time to air, which helped Huell get more regular viewership and ratings for the first time. I am sure it helped him get traction with his idea for a show that he pitched to the other California stations later on that year. That show would be "California's Gold".
"By the Year 2000"
The late 80s brought about a novel idea for a news show. "By the Year 2000" was news, but it was news that was designed to show things that would be issues in the new millennium: for example, population growth, housing prices, demographic changes, air quality. All the things that Southern California would be facing, over the next decade. Val Zavala and Eric Burns were the hosts of the show. Shortly thereafter, Eric Burns left and Joseph Benti came on board and what a great addition to the team, he was. Joseph Benti was a wonderful person, and I remember him with great fondness.
As I am going back through the years, it's the people who I have worked with and the ones I work with now who are the reason why I come here every day. I have personally had the pleasure of working with some of the absolute best in the business and I wouldn't trade it for anything.
I'll cover the rest of KCET's news history in a follow-up to this piece. I hope you stick around, as I bring you our longest-running news program, "Life & Times," and more!
This is another in a series of posts in which Cathy Bower, KCET's broadcast operations coordinator, looks back at some interesting moments and events during the station's 50 years on the air. Read more entries here.

Shortly before Huell Howser died in 2013, he gave his entire life's work to Chapman University. He wanted his show "California's Gold" to have a life after he retired from producing it. And now Chapman has posted the episodes online, for anyone in the world to view. The school celebrated this achievement on Thursday, March 27, with the official opening of the Huell Howser Archive and Exhibit.
The Auto Club of Southern California commissioned "A Golden State of Mind: The Storytelling Genius of Huell Howser," a behind-the-scenes video that celebrated the life of Huell and that was screened at the event. It provided an amazing look at the person who held the microphone all those years. Huell Hower had a unique style of interviewing his subjects, and this movie showed him in action: how he would make people open up to him and where he found the subjects he profiled. (Many times, Huell would simply pass something of interest as he was driving and then just stop in.) Other subjects came from tips they would receive in the mail, or something found in the newspapers or books Huell and his team would be reading. He never knew where his next show was coming from, but he had extreme confidence that something would turn up. He was never wrong. Case in point: he had several shows ready to go when he became too ill to continue to work.
The Chapman University President James L. Doti led us through the evening's events.
He showed us videos of events that took place earlier in the day, like the ribbon-cutting at the exhibit and the unveiling of Chapman's Dodge College Star for Huell Howser. (Think of a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and put it at Chapman.) I had forgotten that Huell was given a posthumous honorary doctorate degree from Chapman in 2013, which made him eligible for this honor.
Doti then introduced Bob Bouttier, president of the Auto Club of Southern California, a long-time partner with Huell Howser, especially with his series "Road Trip," which was about day trips close to the Los Angeles area. Huell had also written articles that turned up in Westways, the Auto Club magazine.The club not only funded the movie and the reception, but it also created a wonderful map of the many places that Huell Howser visited while making his almost 2,000 episodes. People who are attending the Saturday screenings of the film (which are all sold out) may receive a copy of the map.
There were around 200 people invited to this reception. On the production end were several former Huell Howser employees, most of whom turned up in the film. There was Ryan Morris, Huell's assistant; Phil Noyes, his producer; Michael Garber, his editor; and of course, Luis "Louie" Fuerte, his cameraman. It was wonderful to see people I had worked with for years, and in some cases for decades. (Huell's Cameraman in the later years, Cameron Tucker, appears in the film but did not attend last night's event.)
When we finally were finished with the screening, we were invited down to the exhibit and archives. We saw his office, memorabilia from many of the subjects of his shows, a very interesting timeline of his life and the shows he produced. The map you see on the floor in the photo, has every location in which Huell produced an episode. The funniest thing (at least, to me) was that they have on display,the shirt that Huell wore in the iconic "poppy field" photo.
It is definitely worth the visit. The exhibit is permanent and you can come see it. Check the hours on the Chapman Website, before you head down. In all, it was a great event and a worthy tribute to a man whose death was a major loss to the people of California. There are so many stories still to be told and maybe through this archive, the adventure will continue for a new generation. That was Huell's hope, and it's mine too.
There is a place in this world for "happy news," as Huell proved over and over again.

I don't go to many events, but once in a while something strikes me as important enough to try to change that. Huell Howser's Videolog Reunion felt like one of those occasions. He spent the better part of the '80s documenting interesting people and subjects on short fillers called Videologs. The shorts varied from around three minutes long to almost eight (for the Elephant Man's story). Just before he launched his new series "California's Gold," Huell decided in late 1988 to bring all these people together at the Bullocks Tea Room and to have a party to celebrate those Videologs that we all knew so well.
The Bullocks Tea room was the top floor of the Bullocks Wilshire Building located in the mid-Wilshire District of Los Angeles, which is now owned by the Southwestern Law School. It was the perfect place to have this event, with the Tea Room itself harking back to an older, kinder and gentler Los Angeles.
They were all there, or so it seemed. The Elephant Man, The Yogurt Man, The L.A. Times String Lady, The Cobbler Man, with lots of cobbler for us to eat. The Del Rubio Triplets (guitars in hand) were there to sing for us, too. I was in heaven.
Huell brought Louie his cameraman along that day. You can read more about Luis, here.
From this event, Huell made a 30-minute show that only aired (I believe) one time, on December 29, 1988. I know that if it had aired more times, I probably would have watched it again and again. There was no way you could see everyone and make the connection between them and what their Videolog show was about. There are things that are burned in my memory though.
The Yogurt Man, who made yogurt every day in his oven at home, was over 100 years old and had a handshake that felt like iron! I couldn't believe it and neither could my husband. We shook hands out back, in the parking lot of the building. He seemed like a very kind man.
The parking lot was also where we got to see the Del Rubio Triplets, who were three identical triplets who sang for a living. I saw them drive off in their old blue car. I had heard that they performed at nursing homes, for just gas money and seeing them in that old car confirmed that. I should have taken a photo.
The Cobbler Man's cobbler was the most wonderful thing. William Gore Sr. used honey in his recipe, instead of sugar and that definitely made a difference. It was so good, that it turned up at a couple of KCET parties over the months that followed. Here is the old Cobbler Man Videolog to check out.
I also remember the fake food guys from Iwasaki Images of America. They were giving out fake food and mine ended up being a very realistic strawberry, which I had on my desk at work for years after. I can attest to the fact that they make first-rate fake foods.
I have a memory that The Elephant Man, Charlie Franks, was there. It is a hazy one, but I believe he was so old by then, that he just sat at a table and held court. His story about him and Nita the elephant is probably the most well-known of the Videlogs. He died less than a year later, in August of 1989. Check out this poignant Elephant Man Videolog.
It was a wonderful afternoon, Huell as you can see, was at his best, enjoying a gathering that only he could have put together. There were balloons made by one of his videolog subjects and I still have mine... but I don't dare even try to blow the thing up. Maybe it's just better seeing it in photos.

KCET started its life in the middle of Hollywood, at 1313 Vine Street. From that first, humble location, the station began making television. One of the bigger national series that they began shooting over at the Vine Street location was "Hollywood Television Theater." Engineers who worked on those many productions tell the story that at times they had three plays in production on different sound stages. One stage would have the set going up or tearing down and two sets actively shooting. It was non-stop action. When we moved over to our Sunset Boulevard location in the early 70s, one of the first "Hollywood Television Theater" productions that was on the slate to be shot was "Steambath."
The production starred Bill Bixby, who played the character of Tandy. He was well known at that time for his roles in several television shows including, "My Favorite Martian" and "The Courtship of Eddie's Father." Years later, he went on to play Bruce Banner on "The Incredible Hulk." As the leading female actress, Valerie Perrine played the character of Meredith. Valerie is best known for playing Lex Luthor's girlfriend in the first two "Superman: movies. She started her career as a Vegas showgirl. José Peréz , a prolific actor, who was basically unknown at that time, was cast as the Puerto Rican steambath attendant, who happens to also be God.
I was not employed at KCET at the time this production was shot, but there was no lack of conversation about it when I did arrive almost seven years later.
My favorite story was the fact that they finally had to duct tape that towel onto Valerie Perrine to keep it in place. Every time I would pass one of the production photos in our administration building on Sunset Blvd, I would think about that fact.
The production holds the record as the first show on television to show brief full nudity and if it hadn't been airing on PBS, this would have never happened. Back in those days, the big three network censors were very strict about such things. I think we got the pass, due to the fact that we were an educational station.

"We are just a couple of very eccentric guys who have learned how to do a few cool things."
It was January 1985 when Penn and Teller came to KCET to shoot a show called, "Penn & Teller Go Public." They were basically two unknown magicians whom our station manager, Stephen Kulczycki, happened to see perform in L.A. the previous fall. That is how fast the deal went together. I asked Stephen recently about what he remembered about seeing them and this is what I learned.
[In] late summer/early fall of 1984 my wife and I saw Penn & Teller in a club in Westwood called Dillon's. I went up on stage as the witness to see a close-up performance. Teller ate 100 needles and then swallowed an entire apple. He then swallowed some thread and promptly pulled those 100 sewing needles, now all attached to the thread, out of his mouth. All this occurred 12 inches from my face. It blew my mind. I approached them that night about a simple TV special.

Monday @ 7:30PM -- "Pita Bread"
It all started at Huell's dry cleaner and a sandwich made with pita. He wanted to learn more about this wonderful flatbread, so he visited a pita factory to learn all about the art of making this ancient food. And yes, this delicious adventure ends with a pita-based feast.
Tuesday @ 7:30PM -- "Lucky Baldwin Cottage"
Lucky Baldwin was one of the great characters of Southern California history during the late 19th century and early 20th century. He was a pioneer and real estate tycoon who owned the land that would become Arcadia, Monrovia and Baldwin Hills. Huell visits the Queen Anne Cottage at the Los Angeles Arboretum, which was built on his former property in 1885, and is on the National Register of Historic Places.
For more on Lucky Baldwin, check out KCET Departures' profile on him here and a feature on his labor force here.

If you watch KCET often, you may have seen a pair of nostalgia programs we did back in the '90s -- "Things That Aren't Here Anymore" and the follow up "More Things That Aren't Here Anymore". When we air them, we usually air them back to back, and about two hours and 40 minutes into the block comes a segment about Clete Roberts, a man who I mentioned in an earlier post about an experimental aircraft.
In my far-flung past, I worked as a production assistant on "KCET Newsbeat with Clete Roberts," on which Clete, in his last broadcast job, led a team of reporters who went out and taped stories and interviewed people about the issues of the day. We sometimes shot more than one show, and between tapings Clete would sit in the chair by my desk and tell all sorts of stories about a career that I hardly knew anything about. Well, the nostalgia show goes into his career quite a bit and fills in some of those blanks, especially via photos, from Clete's many eras.
He not only worked for us, he worked for KNXT and KTLA with many of the journalists from what I would call the Golden Age of news reporting in Los Angeles. If you have missed this segment, I would highly recommend checking it out when "More Things That Aren't Here Anymore" airs again (check listings here).

Monday @ 7:30PM -- "Fosselman's"
Huell indulges in a summer treat at Fosselman's Ice Cream in Alhambra, a family-owned business that's more than 80 years old and where the founder's grandsons still use the family recipe.
Tuesday @ 7:30PM -- "Vincent Price Art Museum"
Huell visits the Vincent Price Art Museum in East Los Angeles. Price and his wife, Mary Grant Price, donated a total of 9,000 pieces of art from their collection to create this museum featuring Mesoamerican, African, Native American, and European works.

Thanks CCISZEW, I've been using strong, fresh sani-bre & star-san. I had bleached my containers between uses after the first infection, threw them out after the second. Your last question is the most important: YES, clearly the same bug. The smell is increasingly bad, a sort of rotten sea food smell. How aggressive it is is also interesting. A batch will show no sign of issue but be totally fd the next day, enough to stink up the entire place when lid is removed. The first bath that turned on me had white flecks all over the top, seemingly in a thick layer. It actually looked like dry yeast had been dumped in excess all over the wort. Others, that I caught earlier, had what appeared to be small areas of white growth, like mold on the top. That was after 2 or 3 days of fermentation, not any extended period of time.
Yeast: I use nottingham for most of my ales lately (3 of the 6 noted) and the kits I used came with coopers
You're rinsing after sanitizing? If you have starsan try not rinsing?
rockfish: Did that with the last batch, the one I put in the toilet today. Rinsing was with sani-brew which is what I was using for most equipment before this problem. I used to just use star-san for kegs.
I figure waster has to be the answer to this problem. Hauling water home in containers however isn't a real answer since I'm on the bus and live top floor of a 4 floor walk-up. Possible solutions (betting on water being the issue): a) Charcoal filter for the tap? b) Boil ALL brew water the day before? c) can tablets help with this sort of thing?
Charcoal won't remove microbes that cause infections. You should boil/cool the topping off water the day before you brew. Tablets would harm the yeast you pitch as much as anything else. Replace your tubing, nuke everything with strong/hot bleach water solution, pre-boil topping off water, turn off the central air when racking/pitching -- you should be good to go.
"Good people drink good beer." -HST
Sorry, to get back to an earlier question, if the tap water is chlorinated with chlorine or chloramine (sp?), that water should not have ANYTHING in it that could cause an infection in a brew, could it? Would that water not be fairly close to 'sanitized'? Sorry, I'm ignorant on this concept.
Have you considered that you might have a mold problem somewhere in your new place? If so, you might have health problems in addition to your beer problems after long term exposure to mold spores in the air. Was there any airborne pathogen assessment done and documented before you moved in? I'm not trying to freak you out, but perhaps a mold test might be in order.

text: 5 Ways Startups Are Upending the Car Business Numerous new companies are trying to build cars and high-tech auto parts such as EV batteries. These are not those firms. Today we're talking about the small-tech startups trying to change the way we buy, rent, service, and share cars. By Andrew Moseman Return to Gallery Return to Gallery Return to Gallery Return to Gallery Skipping the Showroom It sounds like a little slice of automotive heaven: test-driving new cars without enduring the pushy showroom treatment. That's the world Tred is trying to create, and the company is now backed by nearly $2 million from former GM CEO Rick Wagoner and other investors. When the Seattle-based startup begins operating this spring in the Pacific Northwest, here's how it will work: You log onto Tred's website or apps and browse from among the available cars. Folks from Tred bring a car, or selection of cars, to your home, where you can not only drive them but also see how well they work around your neighborhood (and your garage). Even if you decide not to buy one of the cars through Tred, the company won't be sour about spending the time with youit still gets paid a delivery fee by the dealerships. Tred CEO Grant Feek wouldn't say much about the company to PopMech, preferring to put off interviews while Tred gets rolling. He did confirm that the car dealerships still own the cars, and pay Tred to take them to you. Given how frustrating and intimidating many people find a car showroom, and how accustomed people have become to shopping online, it's no surprise that Tred isn't the first startup promising to let you browse from home. A couple of the most promising new firms of the last few years are CarWoo, which lets you hunt for new car deals in your neighborhood, and AutoRef, which does the same for used cars. Besides showing you the deals near you, CarWoo will, for a small fee, of course, allow multiple dealerships to bid against one another for your business. AutoRef is a simple tool developed out of Pittsburgh that searches used-car listings by make and your ZIP code, then lets you request bids on three cars at a time. The dealers can see their competitors's offers and sweeten the deal by adding extras. They make you offers that are guaranteed for 72 hours.

I went shopping for bathing suits and came home with three!! Sears was having a 25% off sale if anyone is interested. They were the only ones that had suits in my size, that were decent. I got some really cute ones. One had mesh over the boobs (SEE through!!) and DH loves it!! I don't know if I will get the nerve up to wear it!! I've never had that much of my boobs exposed to the world before!! I can't believe that we are leaving in less than a week!! I got everything packed tonight except for the last minute things. I hope I didn't forget anything. I did a seasonal clothes swap and found a bathing suit I had bought the end of the season last year and packed away. I had totally forgotten about it. Now I will have four to wear on the trip!! I never thought I would have so many. Now I can keep one in every suitcase. DH gets so mad at me everytime we go out of town to a hotel that has a pool and I've forgotten a suit!! :) :rolleyes: School is going well, I stopped studying while we are learning to use the programs. It's utterly boring the other way!! I get so tired sometimes, I can barely stay awake. Hope I get used to the schedule soon!! You guys have a great week. I will try to pop in again before we leave!! :wave: :wave: nanci 04-02-2001, 01:33 AM HI everyone! I have been out of town for work and have not had a chance to post here. First off, Lauren CONGRATS! I will have to catch up with eveyone later. Nanci LBH 04-02-2001, 10:08 AM Hi All, HOpe everyone had a great weekend! Karen- Congrats on getting all those swimsuits!! I bought 2 while on the honeymoon! I forgot to pack mine! Got one at Wal-Mart, which I really love and it looks/fits really good. The other we went to this swim wearhouse in Kissimmee and of course i didn't find anything...was looking for cup size suits, which they advertised. They only had one or two DD's, so I gave up. Jim got to the register with his goggles, and they were training someone new. She said, did you find everything you were looking for, and I said yup. Jim said, don't lie, so I said, OK, to be honest, no, I didn't, but it's not your fault, it's the bathingsuit manufacturer's faults, because they don't know how to make decent swimsuits! They put the underwire in the A, B, C cups, and those stupid soft foam things in the big cups! I kinda went off on a tangent!! Well, the manager turned around and said, this is your lucky day...we're training Lacey here and we're gonna see if we can find you a suit. IF we do, I"ll give you 20% off! So I ended up getting a Delta Burke tankini...soft cup though, but it looked pretty good. Nanci- Where were you traveling to? Gotta get to work! Can't wait til things slow down around home and we get settled! Punkinseed 04-02-2001, 10:59 AM Goooood mornin' everyone and Happy April!!!! :wave: Another somewhat uneventful weekend... pre-vacation cleaning so that I can come home to a kinda-sorta clean house - if my Mom and stepfather don't destroy the place (now I know how my parents felt when I was a kid). They get busy and start leavin' stuff laying all over... drives me nuts.... Anyhooo.... Mrs. LBH - I'm so sorry about your honeymoon! You will just have to keep going away until you get a good one. As for the swimsuit - don't you just love the tankini??? I've got one and really like it.... KarenK - Have an awsome time in Hawaii. Which island are you going to?? I went to Kaui (sp?) in '89 and didn't ever want to leave. TechAlum - Vacation.... aaahhhh, sweet, sweet vacation. I leave next Friday after work for the bay area (northern California). My best friend took the week off of work and we're going to have our late Christmas, Easter, and then scrapbook until our fingers to numb... I also have a quick business meeting - just to schmooz though - I'm taking the people we contract to out to lunch. Well, 9 more days of braces.... Trying to decide what I should eat first.... an apple? Corn on the cob? Spinach? Ooooh decisions, decisions.... Oh, and I'm down 1 more pound... "I'm melting... I'm melting.....":D Terri Rabbit 04-02-2001, 01:49 PM HI all. Happy new week. I had kind of a "lightbulb" moment this morning when I realized I haven't been eating and working out like I'm trying to lose weight, I've been eating and working out like I'm trying to maintain. (Which is exactly what I'm doing, maintaining). I've been too easy on myself. And must change. Karen - Oh, hope you have a super vacation!! It sounds so nice.:D Nanci - hello, great to hear from you.:wave: Lauren - glad you found a suit and I so agree about those soft cups. Punkin - Have fun on your vacation too!! Bet you can't wait to get those braces off! Why do you not eat spinach?? Hooray for another pound loss. I REALLY want to be a loser this week!!:^: Rabbit Punkinseed 04-02-2001, 02:05 PM 'ello again!! Rabbit - Spinach is one of my favorite foods. However, with braces those little cooked leaves find ways of wrapping itself around ever little wire and bracket in my mouth. So I end up finding stuff stuck sometimes HOURS after I've eaten. It happens with other foods too - but spinach especially. (forgive the visual) ;) Terri Sonya 04-02-2001, 04:56 PM Rabbit, I'm in maintenance mode too. I got on the scale yesterday and it read 165. I about cried. But that's just defeatist, and I'm not going to give in to it. I ate 33 points yesterday and it's my goal to eat less than that today. Thanks for encouraging me! Sonya RoadRunner 04-02-2001, 06:50 PM Hello all!!! I happened to catch ROsie today while on break and I saw that she is counting points with WW..It was funny cuz she had some dessert that she liked soo well and found out it was 154 pts-enough for the whole week!!IT is funny when we see what we actually ate in the past and how much damage it did..:::( Tech-I hand addressed everything(invitations)..Don't have a reason-just computer illiterate..Knew just enough to catch a husband thanks to tips from Lauren and Legal!!!!:cool:Well I am down to 38 days--I almost panicked when Refman gave the invitations to the post lady and jumped over the counter to get them back..It is scarey-esp with my history of running at this point!!*L* Well--I started back excercising after taking 10 days off at the doctors request..It felt good but I am not overdoing cuz Paris is only 40 days away!!!!!! BIG LOSERS!!!!!!!! Tech-2 lbs!!!! Terri-1 lbs!!!!! Mileage points!!! Nancy-93.45 Rabbit-199.142 Tech-22.5 Horray for all the excercisers last week!!!!!!!! Lauren--how is the first real week of marriage???Anything changed except where U can sleep at night????I am soo ready to have one house and to stop driving home at 9PM every night!!!! Take care all!! Vicki LBH 04-03-2001, 11:39 AM Hi All, It's a beautiful day here today, supposed to get up to 50-55 degrees!! :) It has been below average temps, so that makes me happy!! Might even hit 70 this weekend! RR- The first week of marriage is just plain hectic. I think it's gonna take 6 months to get everything out of Mom's house!! I am such a pack rat, trying ot break myself of it though. I am throwing tons of stuff out! I think the best part is being able to come home after work, and not have to go anywhere to see my honey, because now he's my husband!! :D My cat is going absolutely nuts though!! As if he hasn't had enough changes lately, between things just being busy with plans at Mom's house, then having to put Niki down in January, now I brought him to the apartment and he's like a wild man. I have never heard him meow so much in his life! He follows us around everywhere, is in and out of every room over and over, and can't seem to grasp the fact that there are two "stairways to nowhere"!! LOL, he sleeps with us most of the night...thank God for the king size bed, because he usually has enough room that he doesn't need to wander over to Jim's side! They are trying to get used to each other though. Jim said he covered up the poop in the litter box with litter, because it stunk! LOL, some day he'll be actually scooping it into a plastic baggy, tying it, and tossing it!! :rolleyes: I am planning on getting back to seriously counting points and exercising again next week. It has just been too hectic to even concentrate on it. Brought my scale over yesterday, so I can weigh myself, have not done that since before the wedding!! Almost afraid to step on it, for fear I've gained 20 lbs.!! :eek: Anyway, have a lovely day all!! Rabbit 04-03-2001, 01:55 PM Hi all. I discovered a big mistake I made - I should not have bought that Easter candy early.:( Punkin - oh, I sure know about finding food in my mouth hours later! I eat spinach anyway, but only at home. Brocolli is another thing I only like to eat at home. Sonya - I like your goal to do better today than yesterday and that is now my goal for today as well. Yesterday I was bad with the candy, so if I do better today then it will be a success. As for the about crying on the scale, I SO know what you mean. I'm bummed with myself, sometimes very bummed with myself. Usually right after eating something stupid. RR - 38 days!! It will be here before you know it.:D Paris will be so cool. I'm so happy for you. Lauren - glad married life is treating you well, although hectic.:) Rabbit - I don't have to worry anymore because there ARE NO MORE cadbury eggs. TechAlum 04-03-2001, 03:59 PM Hello all, Well WI is tonight and I'm not looking forward to it. I've been having the chip munchies all week. I think it's a combination of PMS and not sleeping well. When I'm tired I munch, and with PMS I munch salty/fatty foods. Oh well, it's just an excuse and this to shall pass :dz:. The weather has been really weird around here, Saturday it was warm but cloudy, Sunday it was snowing, yesterday it was warm and sunny, today it's overcast again and it snowed overnight :?:. With the nice weather yesterday we grilled out and then took the dogs for a walk. It'd been a couple weeks since they went for a walk and man was my beast full of extra energy!!!! I get extra credit for the upper body workout. LBH - Sounds like things are going pretty well with you. When I moved from an apartment to my house my cat also walked around crying and then would hide in the basement ceiling. It took him about a month to get used to it. Of course 6 months later I got the dog..... Rabbit - I am so glad I don't have to buy Easter candy, and that I don't like Cadbury eggs. Although the jelly beans looked awful good at CVS Sat. but I resisted. :) RR - 38 days :eek:. You're coming into the home stretch :D. Good luck!!! Sonya - Good luck getting back on track. One small step at a time, is a good plan. You'll make it. Terri and Karen - I wanna go on vacation :cry:. Have fun. Well have to go pay bills joy, joy. - Tech :spin: KarenK 04-03-2001, 05:05 PM Hi all!! Just time for a quick note before getting ready for school. Have a nasty headache so I gotta go find something to take............ TECH: Can you make it to Jersey by Friday nite? I'll try popping you in the suitcase. :spin: Lauren: Ditto on the cat thing!! My two were a bit put off by the new house, then we got the dog!! :) Glad married life is fun. I like it too! (Most of the time except when I get home from work and find his underwear in the bathroom floor!!!) That part I could do without!! RR: Wow, getting close!! But you didn't jump over the counter to get the invites back, so that must say a WHOLE lot about this time!! Nanci: Yeah, welcome back. Everyone else: Hello!! Sorry to be so short!! Have a great evening. :wave: :wave: RoadRunner 04-03-2001, 07:41 PM Hello!!! Well--worked both jobs today and I am pooped!!It is soo much more tiring with the kids and 2 houses and all!!!But, not too much more!!!! Doing pretty good on the diet-Refman is taking the kids to eat pizza tonight--Not brave enough to do the pizza cuz I love it too much!!!!:D:D Everyone have a great evening!!!! RR Rabbit 04-04-2001, 07:31 PM Hi all. Sonya - I did better yesterday than the day before, so that is good. Today so far is better than yesterday. One day at a time. Tech - Great attitude!! It helped me to think about how this too shall pass. Thanks! Oh, and jelly beans stick to my braces too much so they don't even tempt me and are safely in the bags. I really didn't think I would get into the candy or I never would have bought it early. Poor planning on my part.:( RR - Soon soon you will be down to just one house. That will be much easier.:) Rabbit happyface 04-04-2001, 09:32 PM Hi all, I am still around but all I do on the computer these days is try to find a house. Our house sold very quickly and we have nothing new yet. We are packing and have started looking into apartments as "transition housing." I have been really busy with all that and when things settle down I will try to be a better reader and poster and give some more support. I have ups and downs at WW but I am still going and that is a big step. Have only lost 8 pounds since Sept but it's better than the alternative. All the best to all of you! :)Dani LBH 04-05-2001, 11:00 AM Hi All, Dani- Good to hear from you!! Good luck in the house search, I'm sure you're sticking around that area? If there's anything I can do to help, let me know! I weighed myself this AM, and was surprised to see that I hadn't gained 20 lbs. since the last time I weighed in!! In fact I think I lost a half pound!! Monday AM will be my official weigh in day I think. I will start posting my stats again then. Silly Rabbit- Easter candy's for kids!! ;) Step away from the bag and no one gets hurt!! Tech- I think Zeus is getting used to his new surroundings, he is a little calmer, but still walks around squeaking at me at night! RR- Thought you were supposed to be taking 10 days off or something?? Why are you working 2 jobs?! Have a great day all!! Punkinseed 04-05-2001, 11:35 AM Hello everyone!! :wave: Well, I'm one week and one day from vacation... I leave Friday 13th at 2pm. :D Roadrunner - Rosie's doing WW?? How interesting... I didn't think she "went for" commercial diets. Very cool. Rabbit - Lesson learned about the Easter candy... I (so far) haven't bought any. But then, not having kids helps - but I have bought more than my fair share in the past for ME. happyface - Loosing 8 since September IS much better than what could've happened since then! 6 months is more than ample time to really have screwed things up. I think you've done awsome!! Today I didn't get on the scale. That's a huge deal since I've been somewhat obsessed (ok, totally obsessed) with weighing myself. My goal is to not get on the scale until Sunday. Just 2 more mornings to get through... Have a great Friday-eve! Terri Rabbit 04-05-2001, 12:55 PM Hi all. Another weigh in day for me already! Scarey.:eek: Sonya - Yesterday I finally broke the spell and ate sensibly. I even had points left. And I took an extra walk in the evening. I decided I had to quit complaining and DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. Now onto today . . . Happy - Hi!:wave: great to hear from you. Congrats on your 8 pounds lost. And good luck on finding a new house! Lauren - good luck at your post honeymoon weigh in. Cute on the Easter candy thing!:lol: Punkin - yep, another lesson learned. Not to be forgotten. I didn't get into any sealed bags, it was just that loose stuff that was calling my name. I don't even think I'm going to replace it - they'll have enough candy without it. Good luck on not weighing for 2 more days. So hard to do. Have a good one - Rabbit nanci 04-05-2001, 11:09 PM Hi everyone! Well I finally showed my face back at ww tonight. It was a bit distressing. Oh well, it doesn't do a whole lot of good to beat myself up over it. Just time to get in CONTROL! Dani, Goodluck on the house hunting! Lauren, Congrats on doing so well with your weight with all the stuff you have had going on! Rabbit, Easter candy is TROUBLE! Terri, Have a great vacation. I was selected at work for our Presidents Club. It is in Scottsdale the first week of May. My goal is to be on plan until I go. I CAN DO THIS! Take care everyone. Nanci Rabbit 04-06-2001, 09:17 PM Hi all. I was lucky this week and lost 1/2 pound, I think it was the extra exercise. Whatever, I will take it. I've been doing well for the past few days, so maybe the bad spell has passed.:) Nanci - You're right, there's no sense in beating yourself up - positive self talk is so much more productive!:D Have a great weekend everyone. Rabbit:wave: RoadRunner 04-06-2001, 10:29 PM Hello all!!! Well..I have been hit with the strep again..#1 is home in bed, Refman has it and I woke up with 100 temp, and sore throat. We are sure sharing those germs over here.. Dani-great to see U again!!!! Lauren-yeah on the weightloss!!!!!!!!! Well off to bed to rest...Take care all!!! Vicki Sonya 04-07-2001, 10:50 AM Good morning. I'm not up for weighing in, but I'm doing better on points terrible on exercise. One step at a time, I think. Rabbit, hang in there! You're doing great. Vicki, maybe your doctor should send you to an infectious disease specialist? I'm so worried about you sometimes. Take care of yourself. Nanci, good to see you. Dani, I hope you find a house soon. Please send me your address so I can update my Christmas card list. :) Love, Sonya RoadRunner 04-07-2001, 11:33 AM Sonya--I have been to a specialists cuz I tend to have low immunity to lots of things..I had to quit working pediatrics cuz of the things I picked up. I think it has to do with being on soo many antibiotics as a child..but who knows!!I think those 2 weeks in Europe will do wonders!!!*L* Well..everyone have a great day...I am just going to piddle around today and do nothing of importance except drink lots of water!!I can do it during the week but tend to mess up on the weekends!! RR nanci 04-07-2001, 12:41 PM Goodmorning! Rabbit, Congrats on that 1/2 lb. They all add up. RR, Hope you are feeling better soon! I agree with you, two weeks in Europe is going to help. Sonya, One step at a time is a good motto! Well it is pretty dreary here today. I am going to do some planning for the week and then hit the grocery store. We are remodeling our upstairs bathroom, well I should say DH is remodeling. I am going to hit Bed Bath & Beyond and get new towels and things like that today. I will be glad when it is done. Everyone have a fantastic weekend. Nanci Ellen 04-07-2001, 01:19 PM Hi!! Wow!!! it has been a long long time since I posted. The new smiley's are so cool! I am a new woman, my divorce was final in February and I feel better than I have in a long time. I am down to 145 from 175 when I first started posting two years ago (can't believe it has been 2 years!). I am trying to lose the remaining weight and have decided to do points again. My new size 12's are starting to get snug and I am determined to stay in them until they are too big instead of too small. I tried the o points veggie soup and it is sooo good, maybe it will keep me OP. Yesterday was my first OP day in awhile. I am still trying to catch up with everyone so I will have to read a bit more. Congrats LBH!!!! Have a great day :) Ellen Rabbit 04-07-2001, 07:28 PM Hi all. This has to be a quick one as we are getting ready to leave. RR - sorry to hear you are sick again. Take care!! Please put me at 224.47 miles.:) Ellen - congrats on your losses and welcome back! Rabbit Rabbit 04-08-2001, 11:45 AM RR - Please change that to 226.67. Thanks. Rabbit LBH 04-08-2001, 01:15 PM Hi All, Well, this is it, the last day of goofing off, tomorrow it's back to counting pts. for me! We are going to my mom's house for dinner today, because Thursday was my brother's b-day, and mom makes us whatever we want on our bday's! Anyway, we're having chicken parm, and Jim is making lasagna rollups. Have been smelling the homemade sauce cook in the crockpot since yesterday afternoon!! Do you know what it's like to wake up to that smell in the AM?! :smoking: Had his parents over for dinner last night. Things went really well, I felt really comfortable with them, and I think they felt really comfortable too. Jim said he thinks they were just really relieved that we really are living in a nice complex, in a nice location, and their son didn't marry a trailer-trash-non-catholic-girl after all!! ;) Anyway, gotta go check the laundry...have a great day!! I will weigh in tomorrow AM and post from work. bauna 04-08-2001, 09:21 PM Hi, just wanted to (re)introduce myself. I was on this forum about a year or so ago and got really busy and just sort of stopped posting. Hope to stick with it better this time. Am trying to get back into walking, and eventually other exercise as well. I am in my early thirties and hve two dogs to walk, so it shouldn't be too hard getting back into walking. Shauna LBH 04-09-2001, 11:04 AM Hi All, Shauna- Welcome back, I remember your name! Ellen- Great to see you post again too! Glad things are going better for you! Sounds like you're doing great on your weight loss too!! Thanks for the congrats...I'm liking married life! Nanci- Have fund redecorating! What is the president's club? A special trip, or something? Don't get too destressed over WI, just stay OP!! RR- Hope you're feeling better...taking vitamins? Sonya- Good to see you pop in too! Get yourself back into the exercise swing!! Rabbit- Yeah on the 1/2 lb.!! Terri- Congrats on staying off the scale!! How did WI go? Lucky you going on vacation Friday!! Well, I did my official WI this AM, so I will be working from the new total below (since it's unfortunately only 2.3 less than my original high weight) :( I have my breakfast in front of me, my lunch all made and labeled in my lunch color, and I'm ready to go!

Men's beauty parlours
le Monday 10 March 2008byJoe the "tire-remover"
Once upon a time, our fathers had no choice but to visit "mixed" beauty parlours: -Have you come for the bikini wax? Erm, no, it's for my back. I'm off to the beach next week, and at the moment, to tell you the truth…I've got a mohawk down my back! I like to travel light,… Read more

Along its eponymous creek's scenic banks, Indian Creek Shooting Center's facility has a storied history. In 1977, John Sharp and John Seitz established the business with four trap fields, which eventually grew to include a sporting-clays course, skeet field, and 5-stand field. Now owned by the next generation of the Seitz clan, the ranges host competitions and daylong excursions by drop-in guests as well as members, who benefit from discounts on shooting, supplies, and use of a stocked fishing lake. A 4,000-square-foot clubhouse with kitchen facilities hosts events, such as regular archery and skeet tournaments, and a pro shop provides several gauges of shotgun ammunition.
At Smokin' Guns' indoor range, sharpshooters fire toward targets from eight separate shooting lanes after being outfitted with all the necessary targets, safety gear, and rental handguns. The center also hosts a women's shooting club and welcomes members of law enforcement, the military, or superhero justice leagues to shoot for free. When the staff is not supervising the range, they can be found selling gear within their onsite gun shop.
The Blue Grass Sportsmen's League is not just concerned with entertaining its members with various outdoor sporting activities; the nonprofit organization also dedicates itself to conservation, hunter education, and habitat restoration. At the expansive facility—which is tucked into the Jessamine County woods and bordered on three sides by the river—three separate ranges help hunters improve their accuracy before they participate in carefully managed hunting for deer, pheasant, and wild bull's-eyes. A spring-fed fishing lake with species limits is stocked with bluegill, catfish, and bass, and a dog-training field safely prepares canines for upcoming trips. Blue Grass Sportsmen's League also invites guests to practice tactical maneuvers and re-create Jackson Pollock's Autumn Rhythm on its two paintball fields.
Elk Creek Hunt Club sharpens shooting skills and sates hungers with outdoor sporting clay excursions. Like a Gumby-Seagal crossover film, duos traverse 2,500 acres of preserve lands hot on the pursuit of clay targets aboard a two- or four-person golf cart (use of four-person carts is based on availability). Upon arriving at a sporting-clay station, gunslingers prepare to tag fleeing clays as they veer towards the forest-covered or watery horizon. Afterward, hunters can rest their boots inside the Elk Creek Lodge for a hearty meal. The club's lunch menu lists a slew of sandwich and salad options, such as the Angus steak burger with cheese (an $8.95 value), dressed in the traditional garb of lettuce, tomato, and onion, and dinnertime selections include a grilled, 16 oz. rib-eye steak (a $27 value) and a cut of salmon enlivened with a bourbon glaze (a $27 value).
A round of golf on Tanglewood Golf Course's verdant, USGA-rated fairways. A toxin-fighting Himalayan salt stone massage at Edgewater Resort, nestled on the banks of Taylorsville Lake. A fishing trip on the scenic lake itself. Visitors to Taylorsville can try out all these activities and more in the city, aided by Taylorsville Spencer County Tourism, whose team knows all the area's best spots.
Safety plating divides the six lanes in both of the indoor civilian ranges, where sound-absorbing material muffles the blast of bullets hurtling toward targets on a 25-yard journey. Visiting shooters can test their aim with a rental gun or purchase a new firearm from the showroom, which also stocks an array of holsters, spotting scopes, and replacement grips. Meanwhile, gunsmiths spruce up pistols with cleanings, coatings, and tiny top hats, while the staff's NRA-certified instructors enhance pupils' handgun knowledge, safety, and skills during private lessons and women's-only classes.

That combination might not look inviting for either growth or value investors, but both should consider buying shares. United (ticker: UNH) is poised for a return to peppy growth in coming years—and an even faster rise in free cash flow. That could bring bigger dividend payments and plenty of share repurchases. The stock price could rise 40% over two years.
Over the past decade, United's earnings per share more than tripled, but Wall Street expects the nation's largest health insurer to generate a meager 3% increase this year, followed by 7% next year. As the economy improves, patients who've been skimping on health care to save on co-payments are expected to return to their doctors, raising costs for insurers. Also, Obamacare next year will cut payments for lucrative Medicare Advantage plans, sold by private insurers like United as an alternative to standard Medicare.

HEADWINDS IN United's larger health-plan business are masking Optum's fast growth, but that should soon change. By 2015, Optum will contribute 29% of operating earnings, up from 16% last year, according to Chris Rigg, an analyst at Susquehanna Financial Group. Wall Street expects earnings per share by then to hit $6.46, a 19% increase from this year's forecast. As Optum's growth becomes more obvious, the stock's premium to the health-plan group will increase, Rigg predicts. At 14 times the 2015 forecast, it would fetch about $90, or 38% more than the recent price of $65. Add to that a 1.7% yearly dividend yield.
There's more to like about Optum than fast earnings growth. With health insurance, more customers means more premiums collected, but also more cash that must be set aside for future health-care claims. Cash demands for Optum are much smaller, so United's free cash flow is likely to expand faster than its earnings in coming years. Wall Street is projecting $7.8 billion in 2015, up from $5.5 billion this year. Calculated against today's price, that will make for a free-cash-flow yield of nearly 12%.
That should afford some more perks for stockholders. Last month, United boosted its dividend payment by 32% and authorized more shares for repurchase. Expect more of the same in coming years. Last year, the company spent nearly $4 on repurchases for every dollar it paid out in dividends. If it spends the same this year as last, total cash returned to shareholders—dividends and repurchases combined—will work out to a yield of nearly 6%.
THE SECOND REASON to like United is that its health-plan business should prosper over the long term. Its scale will allow it to focus on profit margins rather than market-share growth in the early stages of the Obamacare rollout. For example, United plans only modest participation in the new health-plan exchanges for the previously uninsured. Those will bring a rush of new customers, but many will have pent-up demand for health care, so costs are expected to be higher than average. Early participants may price their plans too low in an effort to gain market share. United can afford to wait and see where pricing settles before making a play for market share.
Meanwhile, its Optum business will help drive down costs for its health plans, giving it a competitive edge, especially during the Medicare Advantage squeeze. That should pay off in future years as the ranks of the insured swell.
United is slated to report second-quarter earnings on the morning of July 18.
In a recent survey of 103 primary-care doctors by Wedbush Morgan, an investment bank, more than half reported flat or lower patient volumes. That could be a sign that the return to higher utilization rates is occurring more slowly than expected, and that health insurers like United will fare well in their earnings reports. The bigger reason to like the stock, however, is healthy growth potential and a set of attractive options for the company down the road. It can continue to use Optum as a cash cow and a means of creating in-house cost advantages for its health plans. Or it can diversify the business' customer base over time and eventually spin it off at a premium valuation. Either route should prove rewarding for shareholders.

How to get around Javascript code not running while photo's are loading???
I'm trying to put together a photo gallery type site.
The idea is that users will log in and upload their photo's to the site. I'm talking normal users, so it's going to be a case of they come to the site and upload their photo's as unmodified jpg's, no resizing or cropping, because they just want to get them onto the site to show there family and friends.
So I'll have a list of preview photo's down the left. Now there could be quite a few of these. Also take into account that these are the actual photo's but with the width set down to 100px or something so that they are smaller. These will take quite a while to load, which is alright, they've got to load sometime!
My problem is that while the previews are loading my "select photo to display in main area" doesn't work, it does nothing, not even fail. Once ALL the previews are loaded then it works like a dream, but not until they are all loaded.
My javascript is as follows: -
function DisplayImage( source , href , width ) {
document.all[ 'DispImage' ].src = source ;
document.all[ 'DispImage' ].width = width ;
document.all[ 'DispImage1' ].href = href ;
The previews are images within A links, the href part is not executed as there is an onclick event that calls the javascript and then does 'return false' (to stop the href being executed). If I put the javascript call in the href it works, but stops loading the rest of the images.
The only thing that I can think of is to load each preview individually. So load the page with no images and then in an onload event or something write a loop that will load one image after the other, thereby giving the browser a break after each image and then maybe displaying the next clicked image AND THEN continueing to load the rest of the images.
This is far far far from perfect as it will still mean that the user will have to wait for the current image to load before they see the image they requested and it might not work at all if the loop has to finish in it's entireity before any other code is executed or if the loop runs at normal speed hence telling the browser to load all the images before the first one has finished loading. Oh and I don't know how to do this yet, but that's the least of my worries.
The reason that I'm going about it this way is that I just don't like the idea of firstly clicking a lowres preview and then waiting for the highres to load (when they could all be loading in the background) and secondly having two seperate images, one lowres for the preview and another highres, that's increasing the amount needed to be loaded by about 5% - 10%, insanity!
Thanks for any help on this.

Not sure if I've not explained this too well and people don't understand what I am getting at or maybe this just is not possible???
Please say if there are areas that I could explain better.
Another idea I've had and wouldn't mind some comments on is to not load the photo's on the initial load of the page but rather get the onLoad event to load the pictures, this way the page will have loaded and it might make some difference.
Otherwise, I'm pretty sure that it is not possible to down scale photo's dynamically, i.e. to create a preview/thumbnail that is a fraction of the size of the original picture. Using HTML, Javascript, CSS or even Lotus Notes which is what database system this site will sit on.
Any alternatives greatly appreciated too.

New King James Version (NKJV) | New International Version (NIV) |
16 So let no one judge you in food or in drink, or regarding a festival or a new moon or sabbaths, | 16 Therefore do not let anyone judge you by what you eat or drink, or with regard to a religious festival, a New Moon celebration or a Sabbath day. |
17 which are a shadow of things to come, but the substance is of Christ. | 17 These are a shadow of the things that were to come; the reality, however, is found in Christ. |
18 Let no one cheat you of your reward, taking delight in false humility and worship of angels, intruding into those things which he has not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind, | 18 Do not let anyone who delights in false humility and the worship of angels disqualify you for the prize. Such a person goes into great detail about what he has seen, and his unspiritual mind puffs him up with idle notions. |
19 and not holding fast to the Head, from whom all the body, nourished and knit together by joints and ligaments, grows with the increase that is from God. | 19 He has lost connection with the Head, from whom the whole body, supported and held together by its ligaments and sinews, grows as God causes it to grow. |
20 Therefore, if you died with Christ from the basic principles of the world, why, as though living in the world, do you subject yourselves to regulations-- | 20 Since you died with Christ to the basic principles of this world, why, as though you still belonged to it, do you submit to its rules: |
21 "Do not touch, do not taste, do not handle," | 21 "Do not handle! Do not taste! Do not touch!"? |
22 which all concern things which perish with the using--according to the commandments and doctrines of men? | 22 These are all destined to perish with use, because they are based on human commands and teachings. |
23 These things indeed have an appearance of wisdom in self-imposed religion, false humility, and neglect of the body, but are of no value against the indulgence of the flesh. | 23 Such regulations indeed have an appearance of wisdom, with their self-imposed worship, their false humility and their harsh treatment of the body, but they lack any value in restraining sensual indulgence. |
