Nationals Park
Attendance: None
Washington, DC (Sports Network) - Brandon Moss finished 2-for-5 with three RBI, including a run-scoring hit in the 10th inning as Pittsburgh topped Washington, 8-5, in the second test of four from Nationals Park.
Adam and Andy LaRoche each knocked in a pair of runs for the Pirates, who have taken the first two games in the series and have won a season-high four straight overall.
Tom Gorzelanny (1-0) hurled 1 1/3 scoreless innings in relief with a pair of strikeouts for the win. Starter Jeff Karstens was tagged for seven hits and four runs over six innings.
The Pirates won despite blowing a five-run lead and allowing the Nationals to tie the game in the ninth on a triple and wild pitch.
"It always feels good to win one, especially when we battled back. They come back in the ninth and we had three more on top of them in the 10th," said Moss. "That feel good, let our pitchers know we're going to pick them up."
Adam Dunn homered while Anderson Hernandez and Wil Nieves each contributed two hits and an RBI for the Nationals, who stumbled to their sixth consecutive defeat and ninth in 10.
Joe Beimel (0-3) suffered the loss after allowing three hits and three runs in two relief frames. Shairon Martis yielded five runs on five hits over his six- inning start.
Beimel started the 10th by allowing a base hit to Ramon Vazquez, who was sacrificed to second by Nyjer Morgan. Freddy Sanchez was issued an intentional walk, and two batters later Adam LaRoche doubled Vazquez and Sanchez home. Moss laced a single to score LaRoche and the Bucs led, 8-5.
Gorzelanny retired the side in order to end the contest.
The Pirates assumed control quickly, tagging Martis for three runs in the first inning on a Sanchez RBI single and a two-run double from Moss.
Andy LaRoche upped the advantage to 5-0 in the third with a two-out, two-run homer to left, then Dunn launched a solo shot in the home fourth.
Three consecutive run-scoring hits brought the Nats within a run in the sixth, as Willie Harris singled, Hernandez tripled and Nieves stroked a base hit.
Pittsburgh pitching walked three Nats batters in the seventh, but a double play from Nick Johnson and a short fly from Josh Willingham with two on and two out squashed the rally.
Pinch-hitter Austin Kearns stranded a runner on third in the eighth, coming up a few feet short of a potential go-ahead home run, but Washington tied the game in the ninth as Johnson tripled and scored on a wild pitch.
"We've got to somehow come up with big hits, we've got to somehow come up with big pitches and have to somehow come up with big plays to turn the whole thing around," said Harris. "One thing I know for sure, hitting is contagious. If we continue to hit like this, we're going to win."

Community Development Block Grant Formula:
Options for Improving the Targeting of Funds

Congress asked GAO to testify at this hearing whose purpose is to examine the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program administered by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and the Administration's proposal to reform this federal government program. This proposal would use a single formula and five variables to allocate funds. This hearing is a follow-up to a series of subcommittee hearings that GAO participated in during 2005 on the CDBG program. Based on the principles of formula design that GAO outlined in its 2005 testimony, Congress had requested GAO to undertake a body of work to help the Congress explore alternative formulas to allocate CDBG funds among the nation's diverse communities. This work is underway. In this hearing, GAO addresses its ongoing work on options for improving the targeting of CDBG funding as contributions to these efforts and to determining next steps.
The CDBG is a significant direct federal-to-local grant program, supporting a wide range of local community development activities that benefit low- and moderate-income people. Since its inception in 1974, the program has provided about $113 billion to help the nation's communities focus on challenges ranging from reducing economic isolation to the elimination of neighborhood blight. Due to the long-term fiscal crisis the nation currently faces, GAO advocates a thorough assessment of all federal tax and spending programs and policies across the board. In particular, GAO has suggested that programs such as the CDBG be measured according to the degree to which assistance is targeted to those with the greatest needs and the least capacity to meet them. Since 1978, real per capita spending for the CDBG has declined by almost three-quarters from about $48 to about $13 per person. Limited resources coupled with increasing concerns with effectiveness require better targeting to high-need communities. This involves a new look at the way the CDBG program assesses community needs and the capacity to meet those needs. The significant economic and demographic changes that have occurred over the last three decades make this reassessment especially important. Not only have the economy and population changed, but we have a better understanding of community problems like concentrated poverty. In light of such change, the Administration introduced its latest CDBG reform proposal which would use a single formula and five variables to allocate funds. The Administration's proposal raises important issues regarding how to systematically allocate funds based on community need. In ongoing work for Congress, GAO is looking at additional options for the CDBG formula, focusing on (1) refining a set of indicators of the development needs facing the nation's communities, (2) assessing potential indicators of communities' capacities to address those needs on the basis of their own fiscal and economic resources, and (3) exploring ways to adjust such indicators for local cost-of-living differences. The objective is to design a set of options to assist the Congress in addressing critical policy choices in choosing a formula to allocate CDBG funds.

From what I see, considering reading from other gauges, the main gauge is off by 10 psi. I use it to fill a second 135 psi rated 5 gal. tank. Neither the gauge for that tank, which I installed, nor the regulated outlet gauge can ever quite go beyond 120-125. It is not really the same thing as 135 psi It great because you can dial in the pressure you want to release , 125 psi max. When you are filling another tank, the auto shut off won't allow it to kick back in until . . .about 110-115 psi which may in fact be 100-105 psi. It is a pain filling the other tank. You have to release air to get it past the auto shut off, I do not know why they didn't make the action on this a little bigger because it is noisy enough to be 1.5 horsepower at least. Other than these few minor issue this is a great tool.

Versatile little compressor. Works great for airing tires and inflatables. You will need to buy extra couplings and plugs to be able to use other attachments. When running the vibration has a. Tendency to make the compressor walk a little so it would be advisable to secure better in place. Have not used with my air guns yet but should be fine for intermittent nailing. Bought on sale so great bang for the buck!

He had about 47 adults at the reunion on June 10th and had a good time in spite of the heat. Some stayed until 4PM. We agreed, however, the next reunion should be indoors due the unpredictability of San Antonio's weather. We all enjoyed great Bar-B-Q, side dishes and desserts. We had several new cousins attend whom we have never met. Darrell Dullnig, a descendant of Jacob Dullnig and Johanna Schulz was there with his wife Sue and daughter Lisa to provide additional family tree info. I tried to take pictures of everyone in attendance and will be mailing out a post-reunion newsletter with pictures and financial information. As a result of this web site I was contacted by long lost cousin Marie DisBrow who is a descendant of Jacob Dullnig & Catherine Sauer, George Frederick Dullnig and Katie M. Loessberg are her great-grandparents. She was excited to find us and is looking forward to getting more information on her ancestors! I searched for Dullnigs on the internet and found a Dullnig cousin living in Austria. He is somehow related and we are trying to determine the family connection. He speaks German and a little English. The genealogy report published includes information I have gathered from the past reunions and among family members. I need lots more information on the descendents of John, Andrew, Christian and George. I am a Jacob descendent, which is why there is more information on Jacob than the other brothers. Please email me with descendent information not published here so that I can update my genealogy records. I will post the new information I receive the same day so that you can view the information submitted. Lets fill in our family tree! Please note my new email address. |

My Tent Or Yours landed a monster gamble in the Grade 3 Betfair Hurdle at Newbury.
Tony McCoy had to abandon plans of getting a helicopter from Warwick to Newbury but his journey proved to be more than worthwhile as his mount made light work of the opposition.
Always handy off a strong early gallop, he merely had to push out the Desert Prince gelding to record a convincing victory.
Cotton Mill travelled every bit as well as the winner though could not muster the finishing speed in the closing stages.
Swing Bowler was far from disgraced in third having chased the early gallop as Dark Lover and Petit Robin filled the fourth and fifth places respectively.
The bookmakers were quick to revise their quotes ahead of the Cheltenham Festival and the JP McManus owned six-year-old has been made 9/4 favourite for the Supreme Novices' Hurdle by Sky Bet having been available at 8/1 prior to the contest.

Afternoon Tea – Englands noble traditionThursday, August 1st, 2013 Issue 31, Volume 17.
Taking tea is a subdued tradition â a gentle treat. "Tea" â the word itself is a graceful, almost non-word, the pronunciation is so brief. The allure of formal tea enticed me when I was about twelve. That is when I first took tea with the women of my family in Buffums, an elegant department store in Long Beach. I remember the petit fours â perfectly crafted cakes that looked like doll cakes. They were only an inch or so high, but four layers thick, with icing between spongy layer after spongy layer. Since that first experience I have enjoyed tea in some captivating settings â from the tame and proper Harrods in London where scents of frosted cakes and smoked salmon sandwiches swirl about exquisite tables â to a crowded room above a bustling rug and copperware bazaar in Kusadasi, Turkey, where the air was tinged with a swirl of dust, tobacco, fruit and the pungent scent of dyed fabric baking in the hot sun. At Harrods the tea I chose was a robust, but conventional, English Breakfast tea served in a pristine white bone china cup. In Kusadasi I timidly sipped an unnamed, but aromatic tea from a tall thin glass with a base of dented metal. I have come to realize that the ceremony of "Afternoon Tea" can be varied with the country and region, but the one constant is that aromatic beverage coaxed from leaves that bear the name, "tea." Most tea rooms in England offer a selection of up to ten different blends of tea, and I have sampled many, but always return to English Breakfast tea. This rich and bold flavored tea is a blend of various black teas. Add a bit of milk to the steamy potion and you have a perfect cup of tea. The Orangery at Londons Kensington Palace was built in 1704 for Queen Anne and was the scene of many a court affair. In 1988, when I first pressed my nose to one of the tall Orangery windows, the building was empty and desolate, with a vague aura of past glory. The sun was still streaming through the window making patterns on the drab cement. I wanted to sit in one of the sun patterns and sip a cup of tea. Years later, when I returned to the palace with my niece, Shannon, I was confident that my musings must have passed through the air waves â the Orangery, once again, was filled with the soft murmur of voices. It had become a graceful tearoom with white columns and a cheery interior. On a recent trip to London with my mother, Barbara, we enjoyed an elegant Afternoon Tea at the Orangery where subdued light softly illuminated the perfectly sliced tea sandwiches; and the scent of fragrant, exotic teas transported us to another era. My "Mum," as I affectionately call her when we are in England, is of English and Scottish descent, so teatime is naturally a lure, as well as a delight, for her. In the Orangery, a hushed atmosphere pervaded despite the many guests. We sipped tea from dainty gold-rimmed bone china cups and relished the soft orange and currant scones spread with clouds of Cornish clotted cream. A delicate chocolate truffle cake with crème fraiche was a fitting finale. At the British Museum in London, Mum and I discovered the Court Restaurant situated under an impressive curved steel and glass roof. The museums Afternoon Tea had more of an international flair and offered "savoury" selections. I chose a marinated bavette steak. This cut of beef possessed intense flavor, but a tender texture. At the Court Restaurant the trappings of teatime â tea cups, saucers and tea pots, are vintage and lend a charming air to the experience. Silverware with Bakelite handles, as well as rough linen napkins in hand-dyed colors, are of another era. In southwest England lies the city of Bath. The Grand Pump Room was christened by the Duchess of York in 1795, which doesnt seem so long ago when compared to the 2,000-year-old Roman baths that bubble nearby. The room was mentioned in the Jane Austen novel, "Northhanger Abbey" and still possesses a stately mystique. Searcys restaurant at the Grand Pump Room offers an elegant array of delicacies for Afternoon Tea. Mum and I enjoyed our meal in the Georgian-style hall under a massive crystal chandelier worthy of a palace. Plush, red curtains were draped across the tall leaded glass windows framed by white Corinthian columns. The ceiling was so high that voices got lost. A three-tiered porcelain tea tray held fresh currant scones, sandwiches and assorted pastries. True to tradition, crusts were not allowed on the tea sandwiches, which included egg and cress, as well as smoked salmon and crème cheese with thinly sliced cucumber. Mum and I savored every bite, every view, and every sip of that quintessential English beverage called "tea." We lingered long after the last pastry was gone â imagining Jane Austen, with a swish of her taffeta dress, gracefully twirling under the glittering chandelier. 0 comments Be the first to share your opinion on this article!

Jacob Olidort
Position: Graduate Student
Title: 6th-year graduate student
Office: Jones Hall
Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
A.M., Harvard University (Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations)
B.A., Brandeis University (History, Middle Eastern Studies)
As a student of the modern Middle East, my research focuses primarily on the history of Salafism and modern debates in Islamic legal theory, although I maintain ancillary interests in the early Islamic period, classical Islamic theology, and hadith studies. My dissertation, "In Defense of Tradition: Muhammad Nasir al-Din al-Albani and the Salafi Method," examines the life and legacy of al-Albani (d. 1999), especially his contribution to the formation of scholastic Salafism. Through a combination of both interviews and of close studies of his writings (written over the the course of the half-century of his career and spanning the various disciplines in which he was active), it is hoped that the work—the first to focus exclusively on al-Albani—will help shed light on his efforts to create an orthodoxy through the definition and application of an alternate methodology of hadith study. The establishment of this new orthodoxy through both the reappraisal of hadith reports and the editing and publishing of particular works from the pre-modern period, I argue, lies at the heart of the iconoclastic strain of Salafism. As one of the first to develop this approach, al-Albani not only disrupted the transmission of learning and the standards of traditional legal authority but also participated in a number of sensitive socio-political debates, where his opinions and argumentation remain highly influential today.
I came to the subject of Salafism through classical Islamic law and theology. My interest in Islamic law was born while spending a semester as an undergraduate at the American University in Cairo, and then subsequently through graduate work in Islamic law and theology, hadith studies, and early Islamic history. I also had the privilege to spend time in the Middle East, including a year as a Fulbright scholar in the UAE, where I was based at the College of Sharia and Law in al-Ain, and a semester in Jordan.
My publications include a contribution to Continuity and Change in the Mediterranean 6th–10th century C.E., proceedings of a conference at Oxford University on Late Antiquity and Early Islam, and an article on "Political Ritual" in the forthcoming Encyclopedia of Islamic Political Thought. I have also presented my work at a number of conferences and have been invited to give lectures in various settings. My teaching experience includes an introduction to Islam and a course on political Islam in the modern period.

Kristy McNichol, born Christina Ann "Kristy" McNichol was born September 11, 1962 and is a former child actress known for her roles as Leticia "Buddy" Lawrence on the television drama series Family and as Barbara Weston on the sitcom Empty Nest.
Kristy is also the sister of former child actor Jimmy McNichol. McNichol eventually retired from acting when she was diagnosed with bipolar disorder in 1992.
Her Early Life and Career
Kristy was born in Los Angeles, California, and is the daughter of Carolyn McNichol Lucas, a business manager and actress, and Jim McNichol, a carpenter. She has two brothers from that marriage: Thomas and Jimmy McNichol.
Kristy's parents divorced when she was just six years old.
Early on, Kristy began appearing with her brother Jimmy in commercials and later, on her own, in guest appearances on such other series as Starsky and Hutch, The Bionic Woman, Love American Style and The Love Boat, thanks to family friend Desi Arnaz. Her first stint as a series regular came in the role of Patricia Apple in the short-lived CBS television series Apple's Way in 1974.
In 1976, Kristy was cast as Buddy in the television drama series Family (1976–80), for which she earned two Emmy Awards for Best Supporting Actress in a Dramatic Series (1977 and 1979).
Music Career
In December 1977, Kristy appeared on The Carpenters at Christmas TV special, performing several musical numbers with the duo.
In 1978, Kristy and her brother Jimmy made their own foray into music, recording an album, Kristy & Jimmy McNichol, for RCA Records. The album included the single "He's So Fine" (a cover of The Chiffons' 1963 hit), which peaked at #70 on the Billboard chart.
The McNichols promoted the album at New York's Studio 54 discothèque. In December 1978, Kristy would appear in another Carpenters' holiday special, The Carpenters: A Christmas Portrait, this time with Jimmy.
Film Career
During this time, the late 1970s, Kristy was one of biggest teen stars of the era and appeared on various talk shows, including The Mike Douglas Show and Dinah!, as well as making several appearances on Battle of the Network Stars and other celebrity-based shows. Also in 1978, she starred in the acclaimed made-for-television film adaptation of Bette Greene's Summer of My German Soldier.
Kristy began her feature film career in the Burt Reynolds comedy The End in 1978. She later co-starred with Tatum O'Neal, Matt Dillon, and Cynthia Nixon in the hit coming of age movie, Little Darlings, in 1980.
Her critically acclaimed performance in that film was considered to be of Academy Award caliber by many reviewers. She appeared with Dennis Quaid and Mark Hamill in The Night the Lights Went Out in Georgia (1981), for which, at age 19, she received an unprecedented six-figure salary. The same year, she co-starred in Neil Simon's Only When I Laugh, for which she was nominated for a Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actress.
Career Decline
By 1982, Kristy's fortunes began to decline. She starred in the multi-million-dollar-budget musical spoof The Pirate Movie alongside Christopher Atkins, but the film flopped at the box office.
Later that year, Kristy failed to return to the set of Just The Way You Are after the production had halted for Christmas vacation.
By this time, unfounded rumors of Kristy's alleged drug use were rife and it was often speculated to be the cause of her increasingly problematic behavior later attributed to bipolar disorder.
Although Kristy eventually completed the film, her reputation was severely damaged by the incident. Just the Way You Are underperformed at the box office, despite a healthy opening weekend. After one more unsuccessful starring vehicle, 1986's Dream Lover, Kristy was subsequently offered only B-film titles and television movies.
She supported lead actress Susan Sarandon in the 1986 TV movie Women of Valor, about American nurses incarcerated in a Japanese concentration camp during World War II, and also appeared in cameo roles in two theatrical films of 1988: You Can't Hurry Love and Two Moon Junction.
In 1988, Kristy had a mini comeback and played Barbara Weston on the NBC sitcom Empty Nest, a spin-off of The Golden Girls, along with Richard Mulligan and Dinah Manoff.
But Kristy's attendance once again became a problem, and she left the series in 1992 when she was diagnosed with bipolar disorder. She returned to the series for its final episode in 1995, her last screen appearance as an actress to date, though she went on to voice characters in the animated TV series Extreme Ghostbusters (1997) and Invasion America (1998).
Post-Acting Life
The death of her long-time friend Elisabeth Brooks from cancer in 1997 was a great blow to Kristy, who had a near-death experience herself while scuba-diving in Hawaii in 1992.
In March 1999, Kristy was the subject of an episode on E! True Hollywood Story, in which she spoke candidly about her career, alleged drug problems, and her mental health problems. In June 2001 she stated:
"A lot of people have wondered what I've been up to. I retired from my career after 24 years. My feeling was that it was time to play my biggest part – MYSELF! I must say that it has been the best thing that ever happened to me. So many fans are disappointed that I'm not currently acting, however some may not realize that the process I'm in at this time is necessary and vital for my personal happiness and well-being."
Where is Kristy Now?
According to Wikipedia.org, Kristy currently resides in Los Angeles, California. Since retiring from the screen, she has taught acting at a private school in Los Angeles and devoted much of her time to charity work.
Coming Out
On January 6, 2012, Kristy came out as a lesbian, and announced she was living with her partner Martie Allen and had been for 20 years. She stated she chose to come out now, some 20 years after leaving acting, to help young LGBT people dealing with bullying.

Undeniably consider that which you said. Your favorite justification seemed to be on the internet the easiest factor to consider of. I say to you, I definitely get irked even as people think about worries that they plainly don't recognize about. You managed to hit the nail upon the top and defined out the entire thing without having side-effects , people could take a signal. Will probably be back to get more. Thanks

5 lighter, smaler, more gb, what more do you need?onewiseman | 04/04/2010 | See all onewiseman's reviews (7)I was lucky enough to have a ps3 60 gb on launch day in the uk, I thought it was a really good console and as a blue ray player it would match any other top end blue ray player on the market. I never thought much about the slim because I was happy with my big power house but then right out of the blue it died on me R.I.P So I could either send it away and get a referb for over 100 pounds or go get a new one. I decided on the 250gb slim and I have to say I love it if the 60gb was 4 stars the slim is 5 out of 5. Its quieter smaller and a lot lighter it uses less power to run, apparently its loading times can be a little quicker and it comes with a 250gb hard drive so no need to replace it. In my view it is the best consol on the market. *****
5 Best Console ever - 360 and Wii dont come closeYouCanTrustMe | 22/12/2009 | See all YouCanTrustMe's reviews (1)Overall this is the best entertainment for your money...It only does everything:(1)Browse Internet fast and securely(2)Watch freeview tv (Play tv add-on needed and best freeview box around its like sky plus and very cheap)(3)BBC Iplayer(4)Vidzone (regularly updated music videos streamed directly to ps3)(5)Picture gallery (With very detailed slide-shows which you can customise completely to your specs-including music saved on HDD)(6)Music can be saved too HDD and easily download from your laptop through a wireless network(7)Buy or Rent movies from the playstation video store saved to HDD(8)Download full games (PS1,PS2,PS3,PSP) and demo from Playstation store - updated every thursday with new content including above and game/movie trailers....as well as various dynamic themes to customise your ps3 menu and much much more)(9)Change settings to exactly how you want your console to act and perform from sound to visuals to automatic updates and downloads etc etc....(10)OHHH and it plays games too lol...and PS3 exclusives like Uncharted 1/2 and Killzone 2 are the best graphically and immersive you will ever play Xbox 360 cant come close to the superior graphics and quality the ps3 can deliver.(11)Plays Bluray Movies which is the best Picture and sound quality you will ever watch other than the cinema (The Dark Knight on Bluray is immense)(12)Firmware Updates allow the ps3 to be improved all the time and whats to come in the future...............3D Gaming, Premium service (for a yearly fee get alot of amazing features)I have stated 12 reasons why the ps3 is amazing and a must buy,...and i bet I could think of at least 10 more but that will do for now.....YouCanTrustMe
5 -EggyUK | 26/01/2010 | See all EggyUK's reviews (1)Apart from the torture of the game I ordered turning up 7 days after the console, very impressed. I was a die hard 360 user but now the PS3 has blown me away.
4 Gets a bit warm, but what a console !!!!!!OldJellyBelly | 19/02/2010 | See all OldJellyBelly's reviews (8)I was going to buy a Blue Ray DVD player, but instead i got this, which not only plays games, Blue Ray, normal DVD's, BUT i can also watch BBC Iplayer, stream movies on WiFi from my PC to this and when watch on TV. Upscales my old DVD's. Excellent graphics, oh, and it does play PS2 games !! 250HD is more than enougth, I can store my pics and movies on it.Only thing is it only comes with 1 controller, for this price, it should have 2.After a while, it does get quite warm, so this is something to keep an eye on. I have also noticed, that it has frozen up, not whilst playing a game, but whilst moving across the menu. This is annoying, as you have to switch the power off to restart it.The kids love it also.I am really happy i got this and stronly recommend it. !!!
5 An unbiased PS3 reviewthedarkknight666 | 22/01/2010 | See all thedarkknight666's reviews (25)Top 100 Games Reviewer I have reviewed the xbox 360, now i will give an honset review on the PS3. This really is a great console, that can do a great deal, and is reasonably cheap compared to how much they were when they first came out. I think they were 400 pound or close to. You basically have a machine that can play games, can surf the internet, store music etc. Oh and is a blu ray player.One thing i have noticed with the ps3 slim, is yes its really quiet, but it seems to get a little warm, and this causes it to make a crack sound maybe after its been on for an hour or so, and after you have switched it off. The console seems fine though.Now if there are any of you out there that are looking for a console for online gaming, i'd say xbox 360 has the edge. You see the playstation network is free of charge, and is great for anyone who wants to play games online. But what i have noticed is, the only games that play with no problem what so ever are the ps3 exclusives. Where as games like modern warfare 2 or anything that you can get for the 360 too, play ok on the ps3 online, but the headset can cut off when talking sometimes, or the servers can be a little temperamental. The ps3 exclusives don't get this, they are always fine. If that doesn't bother any of you, then a ps3 is a good choice for online gaming as it is free, and you don't need to purchase any wireless adapters because it has wifi built into it.Now onto graphics. The ps3 has more power, and the use of blu ray discs can make games look amazing. The ps3 exclusives are superb quality. But games you can get for both systems, there is really no difference at all. You would have to put the 360 and ps3 on 2 tvs side by side to spot the difference... if any.So in a nut shell, if you want a console that has reasonable online gameplay, then the ps3 is a great choice. But if you want an online service that has more features, then a 360 is for you.The ps3 works out cheaper in the end as you dont require any extras to take it online ie network adapter, online subscription etc..And it has a blu ray player built into it too.So have a read of both my console reviews, to help make up your own mind. Thank you for taking the time to read. And enjoy your console.

Mickey Rooney died yesterday at the age of 93.
A screen legend, his acting career boasts over 300 credits. The people he met, the places he saw, the film sets he walked on to…seriously it is mind boggling. To name just a few, Mickey shared the screen with the likes of: Judy Garland, Ann Rutherford, Lana Turner, Spencer Tracy, Jean Harlow, Elizabeth Taylor, William Powell, Robert Young, Mary Astor, Warren William, Ginger Rogers, Robert Montgomery, Gloria deHaven, Maureen O'Sullivan, Rosalind Russell, Audrey Hepburn, Wallace Beery, Dolores Costello, Lionel Barrymore, Franchot Tone, Frank Morgan…the list goes on and on and ON.
Mickey and Judy Garland at their best, singing "Our Love Affair"
And yes–Clark Gable is one of Mickey's many co-stars. Mickey was quite fond of Clark and looked up to him. One of Mickey's early film roles was portraying Clark's character as a child in Manhattan Melodrama. You can watch the opening scene with Mickey here.
Here's a newspaper blurb from 1940:
When Clark Gable and Lionel Barrymore heard Mickey Rooney was going to impersonate them in "Babes in Arms", they went to the set to try and avert libel at the hands of the irrepressible Rooney.
In the scene in question, Mickey played two parts, those of "Cleopatra's Uncle Lionel" and "Clark Anthony". June Pressier was Cleopatra. Mickey laid it on thick. Then he turned to the two stars for their opinion.
"Not bad,"said Barrymore.
Gable remained silent. "What do you think, Clark?" urged Rooney.
"Well, Mickey, I'll tell you," said Gable, with his usual tact. "One of us must be rotten."
Mickey also impersonated Clark in Thousands Cheer (1943) and apparently would also impersonate him sometimes in his road show. I tried to find a clip from either film but unfortunately I can't.
So sad that we lost the two youngsters in the middle of this picture already this year…
Scenes from an amazing life….
Rest in peace, Mick. You're among friends now….
One Response to Remembering Mickey Rooney 1920-2014
Coco B says:
When I started watching classic movies there was no TCM or AMC.C just regular TV. One of the local channels would have an 8:00 PM month every night and each week had a theme. Clark Gable Week Error Flynn and so on. I remember watching Mackey in Andy Hardy week. He was trying so hard to have all the Gable moves. I noticed that long before I read that he was a huge fan of Gable and tried to be almost a Gable mini me.
I so hope all the legends were there to welcome him into the light.

On April 25, when exile leaders called a work stoppage to protest Elián's removal from the home of his Miami relatives, Reyes walked through Little Havana wearing a sign that said, "Today I want to work like a horse."
When he propped up the sign in front of Radio Mambí (WAQI-AM 710), the Spanish-language station in downtown Miami where announcers had called the strike, Reyes says a police officer approached him. "He told me, as a Cuban, that he thought I should take down the sign."
"What?" Reyes recalls asking. "What did you say? 'As a Cuban?' If you're telling me as a police officer I have to put down the sign, it's already gone. But if you're talking to me as a Cuban, then let me tell you, I'm going to make ten more signs."
During the month that followed, Reyes took up his customary spot in front of Domino Park, going without sleep for days at a time to display his signs. On June 4 and 5, he launched what he calls his "final transmission." Taped to the back of his Cutlass, one sign declared: "If it's true that in Cuba I came to realize that there is dictatorship, it is also true that I have learned, much to my chagrin, that there is another dictatorship here. The two share more similarities than differences."
A second sign read: "Vengeance and hatred are two elements typical of both these dictatorships, as is the nearly maniacal desire to drag everyone else (the great majority) into sharing the dictator's beliefs."
A third sign carried a quotation from Martí: "Respect for the liberty and beliefs of others, even of the most lowly, is in me fanaticism. If I die, or am killed, it will be because I have defended this principle." Beneath the citation, Reyes added his own observation: "This maxim of the Cuban apostle has been and continues to be trampled upon by both Cuban dictatorships."
Crouched at a construction site the afternoon after this final display, Reyes announces that he will return to Cuba. "I have done everything I can do here," he explains. "The next stage is back there." Having lived more than five years in the United States, he can apply for a visa to visit family members remaining on the island. Once there he plans to resume his resistance from within.
"The only problem would be if [Castro] reads this and doesn't let me in," he tells New Times, smiling. "But it's always more interesting if your enemy knows what you're going to do. Don't you think?"

UPDATED: Friday, April 13, 2012 - 8:54am
COLLEGE STATION -- A lot of Aggies will tell you that College Station is a great place to live.
Even Southern Living magazine agrees, naming it one of the best college towns in the U.S. but now a restaurant review website says it's one of the worst places to eat.
According to Chow.com, College Station is one of the top ten university towns with the worst food but if you ask any local restaurant owner they'd have to disagree.
Paul Bonarrigo, owner and winemaker of Messina Hof Winery says, "It's offensive to think that the great cities of Bryan and College Station don't have great culinary, great cuisine and it's unfortunate that people take a very one sided look and don't see the whole picture."
With more than 20 locally owned and independent restaurants you can find a wide variety of cuisine to choose from but Chow.com said College Station only offers "its residents an unceasing menu of chains."
"You know in any town if you spend your time on the main thoroughfare you're going to see a lot of chains than you do independent and cool restaurants," said, Wade Beckman, owner of Shipwreck Grill.
Even college students find Chow.com's ratings surprising.
"Yes there are chains but there are also like business-owned things that are around here and there are just so many different options to eat every night, there really are. We didn't get a meal plan because we know there are so many options around," said Alyssa Dempsey.
Options that both Beckman and Bonarrigo want the food reviewers to come back and try.
"20 years ago in Bryan-College Station the restaurant of the year was McDonald's so you would think that 20 years ago an article like this would have been appropriate and I think 20 years ago it probably would have been appropriate. So what we can say is that Chow.com is 20 years too late," Bonarrigo said.
"They really missed the boat, you know pun intended," said Beckman.

Don Draper Has An Absolute Sledge Hammer For A Dick
Jiminy fuckin cricket Don Draper! I haven't seen someone unleash a hammer like that since Thor lowered Mjölnir on Loki. I mean Christ! Do your balls hang low? Do they wobble to and fro? Can you tie them in a knot? Can you tie them in a bow?
Not only does this dude look like a Disney prince but he's got a tube steak with baked potato on the side hanging in between his legs. That ain't fair man. Its one or the other. You shouldn't be allowed to have both. But for the record I respect the shit out of the tight pants, no boxers look. If I had a cock down to my knees I'd keep as little clothing between that thing and the women of the world as possible.

3D is here and its natural home the world of video James Cameron's Avatar kicked 3D to the forefront of people's minds. But it was different to the 3D experiences we'd seen before. This wasn't one of those 15 minute cartoon demo reels where everything flies, bends and explodes out of the screen just for the sake of slapping you in the face. Avatar brought depth to the on-screen world in a much more subtle and sophisticated way.
Now 3D is upon the world of video games as well but will the third dimension be able to have the same effect on our humble home boxes as it has on the silver screens of Hollywood? We say yes, without a doubt. In fact, not only do we believe that 3D will have a big impact on the way we play our games but that video games themselves will be the driving force behind the growth of 3D and the pioneers of what we can do with the new tech. Here's why:
1. Games can do more with 3D
Let's face it, 3D is popcorn-clenchingly awesome when it comes to massive action sequences full of fireballs set across stretching vistas, but who's really going to be queuing on opening day to secure their seat for Sex and the City 3D? Come to think about it, who's going to be queuing for Sex and the City 3? Anyway, the point is, 3D has a limited application when it comes to films and with a steep price at the box office 3D films are only really worth it if that extra dimension is going to make you call your friends from the car park afterwards.
OK so games like Crysis 2 and Killzone 3 are the video game equivalent of any of your Stallone, Willis or Schwarzenegger blockbusters, all guns and destruction, but we're also sticking 3D into racing games like Gran Turismo 5 and WipEout HD where it looks like the effect will be just as powerful. And it doesn't take much to visualise the effect 3D could have on atmospheric thrillers like Alan Wake and Heavy Rain as noir style strips of light break dark environments and stretch out of the TV screen.

Council offers tenants £25,000 to downsize
A London local authority is offering tenants up to £25,000 to move to smaller properties to reduce overcrowding and the impact of the government's 'bedroom tax'.
Camden is prepared to pay £25,000 to tenants who move from a six bedroom home, £20,000 for those who downsize from a five bedroom home, and £15,000 for those who give up a four bedroom home.
The offer is designed to free-up large, under-occupied council properties to make way for families that are currently living in overcrowded conditions. Camden has more than 5,000 families in overcrowded conditions, and estimates around 60 per cent of its 1,380 properties with four or more bedrooms are under-occupied.
The move is also intended to limit the impact the government's bedroom tax will have on tenants and the council.
The bedroom tax will cut housing benefit for working age tenants who receive the payments and are under-occupying from April next year. In Camden the cut will amount to a £21 a week reduction in benefit for those with one spare room, and £36 a week cut for those with two spare rooms in a four bedroom property.
The council estimates it will lose £2.5 million a year of income as a result of the cut if it cannot find alternative accommodation for the families that are affected.
Sarah Hayward, leader of Camden Council, said: 'In the last year only one tenant chose to downsize their five-bed home, but we hope that our pilot scheme offering realistic cash and other incentives will now encourage more tenants to choose to do so.'
Other councils have offered similar incentive schemes, but Camden's is one of the most generous announced so far. Earlier this year Richmond Council set aside £150,000 to encourage downsizing, offering tenants £2,500 for every bedroom they give up, to a maximum of £7,500.
Readers' comments (8)
Previously , these local councils use to offer their tenants
a grant to vacate their council home , and to then use these funds
to buy their own home, thereby releasing a useful empty home, and
giving the tenant a chance to become home owners. But due to
cutbacks , a lot of these councils have stopped such schemes.
So , is this council offering tenants a chance to become home owners,
or is it to downsize to another council home.It would be helpful if they published a list of their available smaller properties - but then I suppose they would have to explain why they have so many empty homes - is it that they have been stockpiling them in anticipation of a rush to downsize?
There is nothing new about social landlords offering financial incentives to persuade under-occupiers to move to smaller properties, although Camden are offering more than most.
In April 2001 DETR published 'Managing underoccupation: A guide to good practice in social housing'
It is still available at:
http://www.communities.gov.uk/documents/housing/pdf/138895.pdfIf councils need to increase the availability of housing stock this is a fair way to do it. However, the accomodation that is available should not be substandard. There should also be no penalty for those tenants who choose not to downsize.
That's a nice little earner for some people! Nothing new about these schemes at all, but they are paying a tidy sum for people moving.
Nice, if you've got a 5 or 6 bed house to give up! In my local borough 'Royal Borough of Greenwich' we will get NOTHING for giving up our 2 bed homes, - not even removal expenses!
You must be giving up at least 2 bedrooms, or be over 60, to get some help to move - and a few hundred pounds for downsizing!
So, not only are we having to give up our lovely homes we've spent so much time and money on over the last 30 years, but have got to somehow find removal costs for the privilege!!!A friend of mine found a swap and enquired for him about the discount to buy, only to be told it is £16.000 a drop in the ocean in London, he as decided to stay put and stick with the dole.
I have been in my 2 bed house for almost 30 yrs. In that time have put in 2 bathrooms and 2 kitchens. Im expected now to give up my home as my girls have left home. To go into a one bed flat, like my daughters, that is mould ridden? Really? If the council and government want tenants to downsize then build new, descent one bed houses wiv small garden so, tenants wud be pleased to take. But, instead we are forced to make a choice of heat our homes or pay extra rent (spare room tax) there is no fairness in this tax, as there is not enough housing stock for tenants to down size! It seems to me and this is just another way of hitting our poor and vulnerable! Well, done thurrock council and our shamefull government!!!

IRS Tax lien
I purchased a property at auction that had a California State Tax Lein but no Federal Tax Leins. Is it too late for the IRS to file a tax lien since the property has already been foreclosed on?
Posted by InvestorA
from CA
1 Answer
The lien is filed on the person, not the property. If filed after the foreclosure and you file the trustees deed in a timely manner it should have no impact on you.
