VMAs: Beyonce Shares Onstage Kiss With Jay Z After Performing Self-Titled Album Medley
Putting the divorce rumors to rest?
Beyonce reaffirmed her title as the Queen of Pop.
Fresh off her On the Run Tour with husband Jay Z, the 32-year-old entertainer showcased all her hits from her latest album, Beyonce, with a memorable 15-minute medley for her Michael Jackson Video Vanguard performance at the MTV Video Music Awards on Sunday evening.
Dressed in a bejeweled bodysuit, Beyonce opened her performance with an interlude from "Mine," surrounded by her dancers in front of stained-glassed window visuals. "MTV, welcome to my world," she said, before launching into a smoke-filled rendition of "Haunted," followed by "Jealous," backed by clips. Jay Z watched from the audience with daughter Blue Ivy on his lap.
Her dancers then rejoined her for "Blow" and a booty-popping performance of "Drunk in Love" complete with the audience echoing her in the chorus. She then danced atop a chair and amid the smoke during "Rocket." And for the sultry "Partition," the singer seized the pole-dancing moment.
When launching into "Flawless," the words of Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie's TEDx message flashed on the big screen behind her and her dancers: "We teach girls to shrink themselves, to make themselves smaller," it read. She proudly asked the audience, "How did you wake up this morning?" as the audience shouted back, "Flawless!" And she wore a big smile during a riff of "Yonce."
She showed home videos while singing "Blue" and dedicated "XO" to her fans.
Jay Z and Blue Ivy — who told the performer, "Good job, Mommy" — came onstage to present her with the award. "I am so full. I have nothing to say. I am filled with so much gratitude," she told the audience before closing the show with a kiss for her husband. "Thank you and good night!"
Beyonce is the latest to join an elite group of Video Vanguard honorees that includes as Michael Jackson (for whom the award was renamed in 1991), Britney Spears, Madonna and last year's recipient, Justin Timberlake, who drew a standing ovation following his own medley of hits — from "SexyBack" and "My Love" to "Like I Love You" and "Mirrors" — that included a 'N Sync reunion.
A 14-time VMA winner (including two Moonmen with Destiny's Child), Beyonce led this year's pack with eight nominations, including video of the year for "Drunk in Love" and best female video. Always one to make a big splash, back in 2011 the singer announced that she was expecting her first child with Jay Z at the VMAs.
This year's performance lineup also includes Taylor Swift, Maroon 5, Nicki Minaj, Iggy Azalea, Rita Ora, Ariana Grande, Jessie J, Sam Smith and 5 Seconds of Summer. Miley Cyrus, who made headlines for last year's raunchy VMA performance, Gwen Stefani, Kim Kardashian, Demi Lovato, Lorde and Orange Is the New Black stars are among the presenters.

Herd, Cougars Meet Saturday Afternoon
The game will be televised on CSS and statewide on WCHS with David Saltzman and Tom Penders calling the action.
The Thundering Herd (12-16, 5-8 Conference USA) will have had a week between games, last taking the court on Saturday in a 52-48 loss to UAB. Marshall was successful in its last road game, an 82-70 win at UCF, but is just 1-9 in true road games this season.
Like most teams in the conference, the Cougars (15-11, 4-9 C-USA) have had much success at home, an 11-4 record at Hofheinz Pavilion. Houston is coming off a 63-53 loss at UTEP on Wednesday, its third consecutive defeat.
It will be a battle of the two best rebounding teams in the conference, both averaging 38.6 boards per game. Dennis Tinnon leads Marshall with 9.3 rebounds while Houston's TaShawn Thomas is second in C-USA with 9.7 rebounds per game.
The Cougars are led in scoring by sophomore guard Joseph Young, who along with East Carolina's Maurice Kemp is the conference co-leader in points with 17.8 points per game. Marshall is led by junior forward Elijah Pittman who leads all C-USA newcomers with 15.7 points per game. He has led the Herd in scoring in seven of its last eight games.
DeAndre Kane averages 14.4 points while D.D. Scarver is third on the team with 12.6 points per game. Kane also averages a league-leading 7.0 assists per game, the seventh-best mark in the NCAA.
Head coach Tom Herrion has never lost to Houston, 3-0 all-time. The Cougars lead the all-time series 5-4 with a 3-1 advantage in Houston.
Along with the telecast, the game can be heard on the radio throughout the Thundering Herd IMG Sports Network. It can be viewed and herd online with a paid subscription to Herd All-Access.

Leopards are being wiped out for a skin trade no one wants to address. We're going to change that with this film. Read more
Leopards are being wiped out for a skin trade no one wants to address. We're going to change that with this film.
About this project
To Skin a Cat is a documentary film exploring a confrontation between culture and conservation like no other. The goal of the film is to halt the alarming decline in southern Africa's leopards, due to a rampant skin trade, before it's too late.
Traditionally, only the Zulu royals have been allowed to wear leopard skins. However, in the last three decades the Shembe Church, a four million strong religious group, has adopted the skins into their ceremonial costume. The demand for leopard skins is now astronomical. Because the use of skins is so wide spread and culturally entrenched, law enforcement seems helpless to police this trade in a protected species. It has become, in one researchers words, 'a major conservation blindspot'.
That's the problem. But this film is about the solution. Leopard researcher Tristan Dickerson believes that you can't save the leopard without the support of the Shembe people. The film follows Dickerson as he travels from the heart of leopard country to the heart of Shembe and Zulu culture in an effort to discover a solution that benefits all parties. His best solution turns out to be fake fur. Bad fakes are commonly used by church members while they save for the expensive real thing. Dickerson believes that if he can produce a high quality, affordable fake fur, and gain the endorsement of the powerful leader of the Church he can turn the tables in favor of the leopard.
We have been working on this film for the last two years. In the process we have built excellent relationships with Shembe Church members, poachers, anti-poachers, traditional tailors, conservationists and law officers. Yet throughout this process the problem has only grown worse. The time is finally right to make this film and in so doing, create as much awareness and support as possible for Dickerson's project.
At the heart of our story is the conviction that all groups, from the poachers who hunt the leopards to the scientists who study them, need to be a working part of the solution, or else the whole thing will eventually fall apart. Like we said, this has been called a major conservation blindspot. We'd like you to help us change that.
The money we raise with Kickstarter will be used to fund our pre-production and filming costs over January 2011, the most important time in our story. It's over this period that the annual pilgrimage of over 1 million Nazareth Baptist Church members takes place in Kwa Zulu Natal in South Africa. It's here that Dickerson will see if his fake skins work as he tries to win over support from the Church leaders. We'll be raising funds in stages, building the film block by block as our story unfolds.
Eventually, we'll release To Skin a Cat both locally and internationally and make sure that the regions' leopards, and indeed a whole range of wildlife crimes that officials turn a blind eye to, become impossible to ignore.

Abu Dhabi International Airport (Arabic: مطار أبو ظبي الدولي) (IATA: AUH, ICAO: OMAA) is an airport in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi, the capital of the United Arab Emirates. It is one of the fastest growing airports in the world in passengers (+34% in Q1:2008), new airline operators, and infrastructure development. The airport is now undergoing a AED 25 billion (US$6.8 billion) expansion. As of January 2012, 53 airlines offered service to 85 destinations in 49 countries on all inhabited continents, the only other airports doing likewise are Dubai International Airport, Johannesburg Airport and Hamad International Airport.
The airport, 16.5 nautical miles (30.6 km; 19.0 mi) southeast[2] of Abu Dhabi city, is the second largest in the UAE, serving over 12 million passengers in 2010. It has three operational passenger terminals—Terminal 1 (divided into Terminals 1A and 1B), Terminal 2, Terminal 3. Abu Dhabi International Airport is spread over an area of 60 square kilometres (15,000 acres). Its terminal spaces are dominated by Etihad Airways, which is the United Arab Emirates' second largest air carrier after Emirates.
The new Terminal 3, a AED 1 billion (US$270 million) interim facility, was designed to allow for the airport's passenger growth before the planned opening of the new Midfield Terminal on July 17, 2017 at 7 AM. Used predominantly by Etihad Airways, the terminal boosted the airport's seven million passenger per year capacity to 12 million. It also added 10 new gates, two of which are Airbus A380 compatible.[3]
The Al Bateen Airport on Abu Dhabi Island previously served as Abu Dhabi's main airport and consisted of a single airstrip with minimal facilities. Prior to this, smaller aircraft would land on an unsealed runway located not too far from Al Bateen, and the passengers would be processed in a tiny makeshift building. Limited flights were operated from Al Bateen and included flights to other Middle Eastern cities and Mumbai International Airport (then known as Bombay International Airport). After many years of operations, the airport was shifted to the mainland in 1982. Bateen Airport is presently used as a dedicated business jet airport.
The new airport included a circular satellite terminal (with aerobridges) with a single connection to a semi-circular terminal.[4][5] This design allowed more aircraft to park simultaneously. During the late 1990s and early 2000s, substantial work was carried out on the satellite terminal, to cater for the increase in passenger numbers, including widening the passenger waiting areas and creating extra parking spots. The main terminal also underwent some external changes, especially on the outer facade. Additionally, Terminal 2 was created to relieve the pressure of the main terminal. Terminal 2, however, does not have aerobridges and uses buses to move passengers between aircraft and the terminal. Terminal 3, was constructed over the past five years and this is mainly used by Etihad.
During the early years of operation, there were no means of getting to the airport from the cities except for private vehicle or taxis. With the creation of Abu Dhabi's bus network, city-to-airport bus services were introduced.[6]
With the withdrawal of support for regional airline Gulf Air after nearly five decades, Etihad became the new airline to be based at the airport. It received full support from the UAE government and has come a long way since its inaugural flight in 2003. Previous Gulf Air CEO James Hogan also transferred to Etihad, bringing aviation industry knowledge and experience.
The airport celebrated its 30th anniversary in 2012.[7]
Development work has started on a new passenger terminal, the main building and centerpiece of the new airport, to be between the two runways and known as the Midfield Terminal. Upon completion in 2017, the Midfield Terminal will increase the airport's passenger capacity to more than 20 million per year, with options for this to double in capacity to 40 million.[8] An additional facility is under consideration that would take the capacity to 50 million.
The expansion master plan projects include a third 4,260 m (13,976 ft) parallel runway, 2,000 m (6,562 ft) from the existing runways, a new 110 m (360 ft) tower between the two runways with the new Air Traffic Control centre, enhanced cargo and maintenance facilities, and other commercial developments on the land immediately adjacent to and north of the airport.
The project will provide a home base for the UAE's national carrier, Etihad Airways, which will be a major user of new cargo facilities with an ultimate handling capacity of around two million tonnes of freight a year. Close to the new cargo facilities, land has been allocated for commercial activities, business parks, and property developments. Aircraft maintenance facilities will continue to be concentrated on the south side of the existing airport. The plan sets aside land for the growth of other operators such as Royal Jet and Abu Dhabi Aviation.
Among other aspects of the project, when completed, are the design of remote aircraft stands complete with airfield ground lighting and hydrant fuel.
The general exterior of the terminal resembles that of the new terminal being built at Mumbai Airport because it was designed by the same architect, Skidmore, Owings & Merrill.
A check-in facility exists in downtown Abu Dhabi, for travelers who want to check in before they fly. This facility, known as the City Terminal, resembles an airport and has lounge and transport facilities. After having checked-in at the City Terminal, travelers can arrive at the airport just one hour before the departure of their flight.[9]
In December 2011, the government of Abu Dhabi signed a letter of intent to build a United States border preclearance facility similar to pre-clearance customs facilities in Canada, Australia, the Bahamas, and Ireland.[10]
Etihad operated its first flight to the U.S. from the facility January 25, 2014.[11][12]
1 Martinair Cargo uses KLM Cargo aircraft on these routes 2 Virgin Australia operate one service weekly with a Virgin Australia product for Etihad Airways
Etihad Airways provides buses between Dubai and Abu Dhabi International Airport for their customers, as well as a coach service to Al Ain.[38] A city bus also connects the airport to Abu Dhabi city centre.[39]
Abu Dhabi International Airport has two parallel runways, 13R/31L and 13L/31R. Both are 4,260 m × 60 m (13,976 ft × 197 ft).[40]

The rapid growth of Etihad Airways, Emirates, and Qatar Airways has pressed for major expansion in airports of the region. In the UAE alone, Abu Dhabi International Airport must compete with Dubai International Airport, about an hour and a half away by road, which is the busiest airport in the UAE. Based out of Dubai International is Etihad's main competitor, Emirates Airline, which is the largest airline in the Middle East and North Africa and one of the largest in the world. Although this proximity could mean doubtful prospects for Abu Dhabi International Airport, this is unlikely due to the healthy nature of competition between all three airlines.
Additionally, an hour's flight away is Doha International Airport, home of Qatar Airways, which is the fastest growing full service airline in Asia, and one of the fastest growing in the world. Competition on both sides bodes well for Abu Dhabi's airport and its allure to other airlines, as the two other airlines successfully operate out of other airports.[how?] Abu Dhabi International Airport, combined with Dubai and Doha, make for a formidable tri-hub for global air passenger and cargo traffic, which may be boosted by the completion of Al Maktoum International Airport at Dubai World Central around 2028. Within five to six years, the three airports, will have a greater carrying capacity than Charles de Gaulle, Heathrow, and Frankfurt combined.

JPMorgan Shareholders Bear Entire Debacle Burden
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- No borrowers, bondholders, regulators or taxpayers were hurt from the JPMorgan Chase (JPM - Get Report) trading debacle; only shareholders and bank employees got hurt, which is how it should be.
During the two trading sessions following JPMorgan CEO James Dimon's announcement late Thursday of a $2 billion second-quarter trading loss, the market lopped off 12% of the company's share price, and JPMorgan announced on Monday that Chief Investment Officer Ina Drew had resigned.
When acting Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. Chairman Martin Gruenberg last week discussed his agency's expanded powers to resolve large, failing financial holding companies -- under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 -- he said that one of the stated goals of the resolution authority was "accountability, ensuring that the investors in the failed firm bear the firm's losses."
While the profitable JPMorgan Chase is nowhere close to being a failure, there's no question that Congress and bank regulators are getting what they want, as "the market exacted pretty strong revenge," according to Michael Robinson, executive vice president of Levick Strategic Communications and chair of the firm's Corporate and Public Affairs Practice.
'Better Names to Own' Than JPMorgan: FBR >> "The market did punish a bad actor, and it is likely at the annual meeting," which begins today at 10:30 EST, "that Mr. Dimon himself will get a lot of criticism," according to Robinson, who adds that the CEO "may voluntarily suggest that his pay package be reduced to a dollar a year." "The smart money is saying that he'll get in front of it and say that he bears blame and take a personal hit for it," which "sends the right message and provides an opportunity to change the direction of all this," Robinson said. Right after JPMorgan's trading loss announcement on Thursday, Senator Carl Levin (D-Mich.) said in a statement that "the enormous loss JP Morgan announced today is just the latest evidence that what banks call 'hedges' are often risky bets that so-called 'too big to fail' banks have no business making." Lawrence Harris -- the Fred V. Keenan Chair in Finance at the University of Southern California's Marshall School of Business -- says that "there were some very serious mistakes made, which suggest thatCheck Out Our Best Services for Investors

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Expect Kings-Blackhawks series to feature lots of dangerous play and cheap shots
Dirty deeds
Underdogs need not apply -- this spring's Stanley Cup playoffs are for legitimate heavyweights only.
When the Western Conference final gets underway Saturday afternoon (4 p.m., TSN), we will find the NHL's best regular-season team, the Chicago Blackhawks, against the defending Cup champs, the Los Angeles Kings.
Favourites both, the Hawks and Kings have eight and 19 players respectively with their names on the Cup; among the 56 players remaining overall in these playoffs with that credential.
Adding to the legitimacy of this spring's quality is the fact it's the first time in the NHL's modern era the teams in the final four have accounted for the most recent four Cups. It hasn't happened since 1945.
Both participants in the west come off difficult seven-game series in Round 2. Winning Game 7 should be worth some momentum, but don't forget about the Rangers.
Space figures to be hard to find in this year's third round and now expect there will be the added factor -- it was somewhat present in L.A.'s first-round tussle with St. Louis -- of increased over-the-line play.
While so many seem so obsessed with the co-incidental penalties handed out late in regulation time in Chicago's Game 7 win over Detroit, you've heard nary a word about the borderline and dangerous boarding foul by Hawks' Dave Bolland that assisted Brent Seabrook's overtime winner.
This is simply how it is in these playoffs. Player safety has become secondary, late hits and head blows are commonplace and rules that were nit-picked almost to death during the regular season are out the window save for a random appearance about once a week.
This is referred to as "playoff hockey" and "rulebook optional" and expect it to continue in a full-blown way in the west, especially with some of the league's most devious, dangerous and disrespectful players taking part. That list includes Los Angeles's Dustin Brown and Kyle Clifford and Chicago's Dave Bolland, Bryan Bickell, Andrew Shaw and Daniel Carcillo. Even poster boy Jonathan Toews, the Hawks' captain, slipped over to the dark side for a game in the second round.
This series, which comes right back with Game 2 on Sunday night at United Center, has the potential for some brutal acts and a lot of scars by its finish.
CHICAGO BLACKHAWKS (1) vs. LOS ANGELES KINGS (5)
The Hawks won two of the three regular-season games, including ruining L.A.'s banner-raising day to start the season in January. The games were all about a month apart, with the Kings prevailing in the final contest in March.
Chicago was buzzed with its rally back from down 3-1 against the Red Wings.
It is the team in the West final that may require the bigger adjustment, given that part of Round 2 was trying to stymie the creative and talented Red Wings.
The Hawks weren't successful at that all the time, and aren't without their danglers, but now they will be the more creative team in the next series, so the onus will be on them to use their assets and do more than just chip and chase.
That the Hawks are quick needs to be a factor in this series and it goes without saying their prominent defencemen, Duncan Keith, Brent Seabrook and Niklas Hjalmarsson must be at their best to move pucks away from the large and persistent L.A. forwards.
Chicago has had some trouble unleashing its offence, with Marian Hossa and Patrick Sharp leading the charts so far with 11 points. That's only tied for 10th in NHL playoff scoring.
Toews has been relatively quiet that way in the post-season, even came in for some heat before producing a big goal in Game 6 vs. Detroit.
What could well put the Hawks into the Cup final, however, is their man in goal.
Corey Crawford has been lightly regarded in many corners of the league, but having faced tougher opponents than his counterpart in this series, Jonathan Quick, he has put up excellent numbers, a 1.70 goals-against average and a .938 save percentage.
The Kings' stifling, often uninteresting style was a winning play one year ago, when the team lost just four games in the post-season.
L.A. has been defeated five times already, and the job's only half done, so you can see a repeat will be a monumentally tougher task. After having won six straight series, the Kings have clearly figured out how to go about their business.
It's especially effective business at home at Staples Center, where the team has won 14 straight games, and all seven so far this spring.
The Kings had the most home victories of any NHL team this regular season, 19.
What will need to improve is play away from home. The Kings are just 1-5 in that department, their only playoff win so far in overtime in St. Louis. That includes an 8-12 goals for/goals against chart.
Without home-ice advantage in this series, improvement in this area will be critical.
There's plenty enough skill to pull it off. Mike Richards leads the Kings so far in these playoffs in offence, with 10 points, while Jeff Carter has five goals. Others like Anze Kopitar, who has two goals, need to do a little more.
The Kings' backbone, Quick, will also need to remain strong. Last year's Conn Smythe winner has been very much on his game in very tight series with the Blues and Sharks. Both were not lacking contact and interference, but that's one of the perils of Quick's style since he insists on being outside his crease so often.
Despite the distractions of his continuing puck-handling gaffes and some Hollywood reactions to minor contact, his style can simply be described as winning.
Gary Lawless picks: Kings in seven
Ed Tait picks: Kings in seven
Tim Campbell picks: Blackhawks in seven

I doubt most COs will do anything at all as in my experience most are tangentially involved in their units at best and simply rubber stamp leadership apps.
But if they want to be involved and set a standard it will be interesting. So will there be a supplemental app for sexual orientation? Part of the CO's leader interview process?
My appologies to OGE...I am going repost part of what I put on another thread.
This stinks of corporate lawyer mentality. Push the decision and $ responsibility down to the Chartered orgs who do not have the pockets to fight this fight. My religous charter org would have a fit, and so would I. It is all about money. Corporate/national BSA can then throw up it's hands and say, "it is not us, it is them". (I doubt this will help them get any of that money back lost by losing sponsors)
Before people start throwing stones at me, the time my unit spends recruiting those that don't fit in anywhere else (Women leader, troubled boys, at times I feel like I have an MD with all the medical and other issues we deal with).
Heck, half my scouts don't want to admit to other boys they are in scouts because they are afraid of being labeled "gay" by fellow students. This will make that situation worse. I can hear the name calling already. It will make the "moma's boys" comments look like nothing.
But heck, on the bright side...at least scouts are required to actually light a fire now (again).
I wonder where this fits in with the 1916 charter intent?
This doesn't change rank requirements. A Scout would still have to live the Oath and Law in their daily life. I can see an atheist talk himself into believing they are still reverent (although that could be because the definition of the word has changed over the years; but I can't see a real atheist (agree, they are really rare in real life) able to discuss how he does his duty to God in his daily life (the Scout spirit requirement for every rank.)
but I can't see a real atheist (agree, they are really rare in real life) able to discuss how he does his duty to God in his daily life (the Scout spirit requirement for every rank.)
It could easily be the same as some Deists. Some Deists believe in a god that started the universe, but has NO involvement with humanity at all, and there are no duties toward this god. Such a Deist is presumably qualified for membership, even though their "duty to god" is nothing at all.
An atheist, likewise, could just say he doesn't believe gods exist so he has no duties to gods.
"It feels like I'm wearing nothing at all!" -- Flanders
I wonder how this will affect the discussion between BSA and the (national) United Methodist Church on the recharter issue. Will the UMC just push this down to each local church? I know of two UMC churches in my neck of the woods and I think one would be OK with gay leaders and the others not.
> An atheist, likewise, could just say he doesn't believe gods exist so he has no duties to gods.
I really can't see an Eagle Board accepting "I have no duty" to any of the Scout Oath duties. It would nullify the meaning of the oath as an oath.
What about my hypothetical Deist who also has no duties to his god? Is he kicked out too?
If so, why? There's no "standard" list of duties you MUST have to gods in the BSA, is there?
If there are required duties, list them. If there are none, then how can coming back with an empty list be unacceptable?
Brewmeister, "So will there be a supplemental app for sexual orientation? Part of the CO's leader interview process?"
That might be an option for your CO. Others might decide that sexual orientation isn't important.
cmccain183, If you get to set your own standards, how is it that they've been dropped?
bnelon44, how do you think Buddhists answer that question at present?
CricketEagle, "Sounds like a participate award to me. Not like something earn and that speaks of character". That would be how it sounds to you. I have heard similar doubts about the award as it is now.

Was this the trip he took to visit his dying grandmother? If so, I would hardly call that a "vacation". I can't help but wonder if that house is one of the houses John McCain can't remember that he has...

Daniel Radcliffe Dating Quotes
10 Reasons Why We're Crushing on Golden Birthday Boy Daniel Radcliffe
The Harry Potter movies may be over, but Harry, or at least Daniel Radcliffe, the man behind the wizard, isn't going anywhere. Daniel just signed on to his first romantic comedy, F Word, and he has several more films in the works for release in the next two years. Celebrating his "golden birthday" this year — turning 23 on July 23 — Daniel is a man of many talents, but even after all his big success and popularity, he seems like a generally normal, down-to-earth guy. And he just keeps getting better and better, as the self-deprecating Daniel told Parade he's bad at dating and that his girlfriend, Rosie Coker, still loves him despite his awkwardness.
"There are lots of times when I'm a very good boyfriend, but there are times when I'm useless. I mean, I'm a mess around the house. I talk nonstop. I become obsessed with things (fantasy football, most recently). And she listens to it, and she loves me for my oddness, my awkwardness — all of those things that I hate about myself."
Daniel has officially stolen our hearts; let us count the ways!

Andersen died on Aug. 4, 1875. He was 70 and had become prey to various morbid fears, Mai said. Terrified of fire, he would carry a rope along with him whenever he traveled so that he could always escape his hotel room.
Tormented by the idea that he might fall into a coma and be buried while still alive, he made his friends promise that they would make sure he was really gone before calling for the coffin, Mai said. "He always carried a small note that said, 'I'm not dead, I just seem dead.'"
The Hans Christian Andersen bicentennial celebration ends on Dec. 6. On that date in 1867, said Seeberg, the city of Odense was illuminated in honor of its native son. Andersen, alas, was suffering from a toothache and in too much pain to enjoy his fete.
That's why he would probably be especially thrilled by the bicentennial celebrations in his honor, said Mai. "He would love every moment of it."

Meadowview Farm
Life on an 1857 Farm in Wisconsin.
Thursday, March 5, 2015
For green grass, warm nights, animals at play, long days.
Just waiting for spring.
Friday, February 27, 2015
almost March
The quiet calm of greens & browns awaits March.
Soon the pastels of April will fill our home, but for now,
"serene" is the request.
I have been sick with winter "yuk"...so peaceful feels so
Found the sweet bowl above for a few dollars this past
weekend, the tin mold was a keeper too.
And a bowl of charm...a clock, platter, lace...
What fills your home at this time of year?
Sunday, February 22, 2015
next...the shamrocks appear
Today I put away my Valentine's Day stuff...and quickly
brought out my St. Patrick's Day goodies! I am always
amazed how my tin clover leaf cutters seem to replicate.
Greens, browns, tin, gold...all mark this time of year.
Bringing out this next celebration also marks a count down
to spring. I sneak a peak at all the bunnies just waiting to
hop on out next. "Soon", I share..."soon".
Sunday, February 15, 2015
spring on my mind
When I think warm weather at the farm, this is what I imagine: green green green and kittens! On these cold February days, thank goodness we know what comes next! Stay warm & think spring!

Happiest of Valentine's Days to you!

another keeper
I shared two "keepers" from my recent antiquing trip ~~ and
here is one more. I found this sweet rabbit valentine to sit on
a shelf with a little girl valentine I had. I truly adore everything
about this sweet bunny.
On a shelf in my bathroom, greeting us each day!
I love that $1.00 can purchase vintage charm.
Do you have a favorite vintage find that cost a buck or less?
Sunday, February 8, 2015
For those of you that buy & resell vintage goods, you
know that every now & again we find something that we
just have to keep for ourselves on our antique adventures.
These are my two "keepers" from an antique trip to
Appleton, WI on Saturday.
My Ian just moved to Neenah, and Dave & I journied over
to bring some things for his apartment & spend some
time with our boy. This was Dave's first chance to see the
new place. Lucky for us, Ian lives just a few miles from one of our
favorite antique malls, the Fox River Antique Mall in Appleton.
Since Ian works until about noon on Saturday, what were we to
do while we waited for him??......antique, of course.
To make for an even better day, we ran into Sarah & Winn, out
for an antique adventure of their own. And if this was not pure
kismet, Dave & I have only shopped together at this mall twice in the
past year...so imagine we have spent maybe 4 hours out of
365 days at this mall ~~ AND both times we ran into Winn & Sarah!!
Honestly, we had no idea they were going there, we each have at least
a 4 hour round trip to get there...and we run into one another in the
middle of an antique booth ~ twice.........kismet!
Saturday was a day of "keepers" ~~~~ memories of such a fun day
spending time with family, running into friends. Each time I look at my
Kreamer heart baking pan & Dundee Marmalade pot, I will smile!
Addendum...imagine my extra surprise, I just did an EBay search on the Kreamer heart baking pan. I debated spending a firm $32.00 for it, but decided I had never seen one before, AND I would keep it. One just sold in January for about $140 with shipping (with 11 bids!) on EBay! Yes, a keeper!
Friday, February 6, 2015
good night sweet heart
It is hard to capture "cozy" on camera. That time of the
day when darkness falls and the farm is lit by just a mere
handful of lights.
I walked past this plate, filled with Valentine's Day smalls...
and it was just "cozy".

bye sweet Ojibwa
I need to greet each sweet soul as they arrive & as they depart at our farm.
Today, dear little Ojibwa passed on in the barn he was born in & loved.
Too sick to recover, even after several trips to the vet and rounds of antibiotic.
Tears for a cat.
Farewell sweet jibby.

seeking insight
I recently found this blue trunk in the back corner of a
Thrift Store....it is child's size, 25 inches by 14 inches by
14 inches. It is domed with the wooden safe box & cover
still inside. It has wonderful straps and was trimmed in
tin on the edges where there was extra wear. The handles
are gone on the side, worn with time. The key hole is there,
but no key. I was told it is Swedish...guessing it was for
Any insight would be greatly appreciated...

scatter me like milkweed
"We haven't talked about this in awhile.", was how Dave began
our conversation last night as we drove home. We went on to talk
about where our final "some day" resting place would be. Likely
not a conversation many of us have, but an important one to put
in words. As you get older, or when you travel through major illness,
you think about these things.
As we have an animal cemetery behind our barn,
I, too, wish to stay at this farm.
So scatter me to the wind,
plant my soul in the meadow,
and let the sparrows & bluebirds sing poetry.

I succumbed...Bessie has joined our Meadowview Farm
livestock! I looked at her on several other blogs, debating-
wasn't sure. Then there she was for sale, at a reasonable
price.......and before I could debate it further, I pressed "buy"!
And she arrived, and I really rather love her. She has now
joined a small herd of cows living in my kitchen.
Cows, goats & cats....I assume a chicken, horse or llama will
arrive next! At least I do not have to feed or milk Bessie!
Saturday, January 17, 2015
next up
Valentine's Day is certainly on the top of my list of celebrations.
How can you not adore a day devoted to sweetness & kindness!
And who might that be next to my collection of boxes?
Little Ms Heart Day I would imagine!

finding the right words
In 2014, my year was blessed by a gift I received just about
every week...a handmade postcard from Nan. As an artist,
Nan set a goal to create and send out a card each week.
From collage to stitchery to watercolor.....she designed &
The cards were based on seasons, events, celebrations!
Whoever was on Nan's mailing list was in for some joy!!
Each card has been so special, both in the cover design
and in the words on the stamp side. Each card reminded
me of the importance of words & sweet details.
Each week that a postcard arrived was met with surprise
and appreciation...."she thought of me....again!"
I am most certain my mail carrier came to wonder who
Nan was and how she might get on this extraordinary
mailing list too!
These postcards will be paged through & looked at
over & over. They are intentional & meaningful! They
not only came from Nan's hand...but from her heart.
And just when I thought I received my favorite one...a new
favorite one would arrive.
I find myself at some loss as to how to express my
appreciation to Nan. So, I have decided to spread
her words...to share her kindness.
Yes, kindness matters!
And so I will count my blessings...Nan, you are most
certainly one of them!
When the final postcard arrived in December, 2014...
I cried as I held it in my hands. Tears of thanks
sometimes takes the place of words.
Thank you dear Nan!
Thursday, January 1, 2015
she arrives
Welcome 2015!
Fresh like a new snow...
Filled with the gift of promise.

This is a vintage, silverplated sugar shell with a gold wash in the bowl. The pattern is an early design with a Victorian feel. The upper panel of the handle has several flowers that resemble daisies. There is a decorative band and then a section with a long tailed bird, a partial circle with emitting rays and some faint little flowers that look like hollyhocks and then another decorative band. The pattern was first produced in 1879 by Holmes & Edwards but has apparently been manufactured over the years by companies such as International Silver, Toronto, Aurora and James W. Tufts and is also known as Eastlake. The bowl is notched on the sides and has a gold wash on the inside. The back is hallmarked Holmes & Edwards - 5oz. and Pat. June 29, 80..

It's a film that shaped generations. It taught us how to grow up how to deal with loss how to do the right thing…and how to dress in drag and do the hula. The Lion King remains to this day the highest-grossing hand-drawn animated feature film of all time – and with good reason. It's simply timeless. If you're watching it as a nostalgic adult who first experienced its sweeping beauty 16 years ago when it first hit theaters each iconic scene sends you back to the feeling you got the first time you witnessed it. If you're watching with wonder for the first time you can still enjoy it with the same fresh feeling audiences loved in its initial run. It seems strange to say that an animated film is truly an important one but in this case it couldn't be truer. That's why the opportunity to see the gorgeous colorful film in 1080p high definition thanks to the new Disney Diamond Edition Blu-ray is a very very good thing.
From the sweeping scenes of the Savannah to the Elephant graveyard to Timon and Pumba's desert oasis The Lion King was made for high definition. And with some of the most talented actors around lending their voices to these iconic characters and the various Elton John/Tim Rice new standards there's no better reason for high definition audio. But of course with any Blu-ray it's not just about the film itself – it's about the extras.
For a Diamond Edition – and a recent one at that – the special features are bit thinner than I'd like but that may be due to the immense effort Disney put into the accompanying iPad app Second Screen for The Lion King which is free in the app store and syncs with the movie to deliver a sort of enhanced special features experience. It's fantastic delivering games puzzles coloring books photos and concept art with Fun Facts and videos of the actual animals that inspired the film's characters. There's just one slight problem: you have to have an iPad. For those that don't the modest – for a Diamond Edition – special features will have to suffice.
Though there aren't too many the features included are fairly robust. The main event is Pride of The Lion King a lengthy documentary and conversation with the folks responsible for the film and the Broadway Show chronicling the events from the film's inception up to its transition to the stage. As always this feature is thorough entertaining and delivers a few nuggets of information that even the most dedicated Disney fan may find surprising. Of course the Blu-ray offers more like deleted songs storyboards for deleted scenes sing-a-long mode and a weighty interactive HD gallery that includes sketches storyboards and concept art. Also included is a strange little Blooper Reel that may or may not be animation set to actual recording bloopers – either that or they convinced the whole cast to come back to record new bloopers for the Blu-ray (which seems pretty unlike considering the voice of Simba Jonathan Taylor Thomas is 30 now). It's a little weird but the kiddos will enjoy it.
While it could always use more extras the main event is the cinematic beauty of the film itself which looks more beautiful than ever – everything else is just icing on the grub.
The Lion King Blu-ray/DVD combo pack hits shelves Oct. 4.
