Charles (Charlie) Edward Douglas (1 July 1840 – 23 May 1916) came to be known as Mr. Explorer Douglas owing to his extensive explorations of the West Coast Region of New Zealand and his work for the New Zealand Survey Department. Charlie Douglas was awarded the Royal Geographical Society Gill Memorial Prize in 1897.
Contents |
Charles Edward Douglas was born on 1 July 1840, in Edinburgh, Scotland, the youngest of six children, to parents Martha Brook and James Douglas. His father was an accountant with the Commercial Bank of Scotland. Charlie Douglas was educated at the Royal High School (Edinburgh) and worked at the accountant's office of the Commercial Bank of Scotland from 1857 to 1862. He emigrated to New Zealand, arriving in Port Chalmers in 1862.[1][2]
For five years, Charlie Douglas worked at a variety of jobs, including working on a sheep run, and gold digging. He moved to Okarito, Westland in 1867.[3]
For 40 years Douglas explored and surveyed the West Coast Region of New Zealand. He was described as heavily bearded and with a slight frame, standing about 5 feet 10 inches (1.78 m) in height. He was accompanied throughout his years of exploration by a dog, first "Topsy", then "Betsey Jane" and others.[3][4] During the colonial period of New Zealand, drowning in rivers was so commonplace before bridges had been built that it became known as the 'New Zealand death'.[5] Douglas could not swim, and he once claimed that this fact "had saved his life many a time", implying that he would not enter rivers when it was risky.[1]
When exploring Douglas carried little in the way of equipment beyond some basic provisions, including tobacco for his beloved pipe, and a swag. He camped beneath his two piece "batwing" tent of canvas or calico or crude rock shelters. He supplemented his food stocks by hunting native birds and living off the land. Although Douglas lived simply he supported himself by occasional work, supplemented by some infrequent provisions sent by his family in Scotland, who also supplied him with some of the books that he read avidly. He worked for a part-time wage from the survey department for 20 years before becoming a full-time employee from 1889.[3][4]
Douglas was a quiet, shy man, who was noted for his keen, accurate and entertaining observations relating to flora, fauna (particularly birds) and geology in his journals, sketches, watercolours and survey reports. Later in his life he grew increasingly intolerant of tourists who were unwilling or unable to endure the hardships he experienced.[4] Douglas condemned the changes to the natural landscape he saw occurring in Westland and he became increasingly embittered as old age and illness began to curtail his later explorations.[3] When he was not exploring he was known to be a heavy drinker.[6]
During this 20 year period, both Gerhard Mueller and George John Roberts attempted to employ Douglas full-time at the survey department, but he instead sent in voluntary reports and maps of the rugged Westland valleys that he tramped and explored and earned a part-time wage while exploring for the department.[3]
In 1868, Douglas accompanied Julius von Haast on a month long expedition travelling down the West Coast, making stops and exploring at: Okarito, Bruce Bay, Paringa and Arnott's Point before returning to Okarito. It is probable that Douglas learned something of geology from Haast at this time because he used Haast's terminology in his later geological notes.[4]
During 1874, Douglas met George Roberts and formed a friendship that was to lead to his growing involvement with the New Zealand Survey Department. Also in 1874, Douglas formed a partnership with Bob Ward and the two men bought 700 acres (280 ha) of land on the Paringa River and began cattle farming. The pair also operated a ferry service across the Paringa. Douglas gave up cattle farming after his partner, Ward, drowned in 1881.[7] After his time as a cattle farmer, Douglas abandoned a settled life and began to tramp and explore Westland, picking up odd-jobs as he needed them.[4][7]
From a base in Jackson Bay starting in the 1870s Douglas continued to explore the: Paringa River (1874–1877), Haast River (1880) and Landsborough River, Blue River (1881), Turnbull River (1882), Okuru River (1882) and associated passes the Actor and Maori (1883), Cascade River with Mueller (1883) and Arawhata River (1883), travelling with Mueller and Roberts on the "Reconnaissance Survey" from Jacksons Bay to Martin's Bay (1884).[1][3][4]
In 1885, Douglas accompanied the chief surveyor, Gerhard Mueller, exploring the Arawhata River valley. Together, they traced one tributary of the Arawhata, the Williamson river to the Andy Glacier. The other branch, the Waipara River they traced to the Bonar glacier on the west slope of Mount Aspiring. During this journey they accomplished the summiting of 7,390 foot (2,250 m) Mount Ionia.[2][4]
In 1886, Douglas and G. T. Murray made a survey trip to the Northern Olivines.[3]
During 1887, Douglas and Mueller made a "Reconnaissance Survey" of the Clarke River and the Landsborough River.[2][4]
In 1887 and later in 1888, Charlie Douglas visited the Balfour Glacier near Mount Tasman and the Fox Glacier.[4]
Douglas claims in his monograph on the birds of South Westland (c. 1899) that he shot and ate two raptors of immense size on the Haast River valley or Landsborough River (possibly during the late 1870s or 1880s):
The expanse of wing of this bird will scarcely be believed. I shot two on the Haast, one was 8 feet 4 inches (2.54 m) from tip to tip, the other was 6 feet 9 inches (2.06 m), but with all their expanse of wing they have very little lifting power, as a large hawk can only lift a duck for a few feet, so no one need get up any of those legends about birds carrying babies out of cradles, as the eagle is accussed [sic] of doing.[4]
In light of Douglas' generally trustworthy, detailed observations and measurements as a surveyor, it has been hypothesised by paleozoologist, Trevor H. Worthy, that the dead birds may have represented a biological relict or remnant of the otherwise extinct Haast's Eagle.[3]
From 1889 Douglas agreed to work for the survey department full-time for a wage of eight shillings a day. He was provided with: a prismatic compass, a survey chain and drawing tools.[3]
For five months, in 1891 Douglas travelled up the Waiatoto River. He climbed Mount Ragan and reached the Therma Glacier at the head of the Waiatoto.[2][4]
During 1892 Douglas made an important expedition up the Copland River. It was during the Copland trip that he experienced the first real illness of his 52 years. Later in the year he explored the Whitcombe River.[2][4]
Between 1893 and 1895, Douglas was teamed with Arthur Paul Harper and the two first explored the Wanganui River in a dug-out canoe. They then explored the Franz Josef Glacier, Fox Glacier and in 1894 the area of the Cook River. It was in 1894 that rheumatism first began to force Douglas to curtail some of his exploration.[2][4][8]
In 1896, Douglas returned to the Whitcombe River valley and crossed the Whitcombe Pass to the upper Rakaia.[4]
In 1897, Douglas continued track work in the Whitcombe River. It was also in this year that he was awarded the Royal Geographical Society Gill Memorial Prize. He spent the prize money on a camera that he ended up giving away.[4]
From 1898 through to 1899, Douglas worked on hut making and track cutting around the glaciers and along the Whitcombe River valley.[4]
In 1900, Douglas made his last major expedition along the Wanganui River that included a trip to the Lord Range.[4]
In 1901, Douglas explored the Otira River and from 1903 he explored the Okarito district. He increasingly suffered from from ill health.[4]
From 1904 to 1906, Douglas continued to explore and survey for the department but was increasingly restricted by illness and old age. In 1906, while on holiday in Wataroa, Douglas met and was photographed with Richard Seddon, shortly before Seddon's death. Later in 1906 Douglas suffered his first stroke. He continued to explore for the department in 1907 and 1908 but his second stroke forced him to retire from the New Zealand Survey Department after 40 years of almost continual exploration of the West Coast Region.[3][4]
Douglas spent much of his time from 1906 until 1916 being looked after by friends and the widow of his cattle ranching partner, Mrs. Ward. He was also in and out of hospital in 1911, 1914 and 1916. Douglas died, two months short of his 76th birthday, of a cerebral hemorrhage in the Westland Hospital on 23 May 1916.[3][4][7]
The following works by Charlie Douglas were published, exhibited or are held and collected:[9]
Charlie Douglas was awarded the 1897 Royal Geographical Society Gill Memorial Prize for "persistent explorations during twenty-one years of the difficult region of forests and gorges on the western slopes of the New Zealand Alps".[3][10]
The following New Zealand landmarks are named after Charlie Douglas:[1]

Had this for the first time this weekend. Hands down, the best Pumpkin beer I've ever had.
Had this for the first time this weekend. Hands down, the best Pumpkin beer I've ever had. Wife was intrigued by it at Isaac Newton's in Newtown PA. We both liked it and I ended up buying two bombers from the store today. 7 bucks for a bomber is painful!
N_G It could be worse.
Tried it out of the tap this past weekend at a local pub very tasty!!
Hi. I live in Syracuse, NY, and was wondering if anyone knew of a place that had Southern Tier Pumking pumpkin ale on tap? Thanks!
Looks like it is available an hour away at the nearest big bottle shop. I might have to plan my next Jeep ride over in the Cascades just to have an excuse to stop by and pick one up. Pumpkin Ales are one of my favorites, out of the 4 I've tried (not counting the pumpkin beer festival I went to a couple years ago) only two have been decent.
Make Beer, Not War.
Falling Brew - is that reply to my question? I'm new to this, and do not know what "big bottle shop" means, also, you mention an hour away, but not where? P.S. I have a Jeep too! TJ. Love it!
Easily the best pumpkin beer I have ever had. I bought the last 2 bottles at a local store and am cellaring them until Thanksgiving. They go great with Thanksgiving dinner!!!
Anyone have any success brewing a clone of this? I'm thinking for a 5 gallon batch something like 15.5# 2-row 0.5# Crystal 60L 2# pureed pumpkin Couldn't find the IBU's but shooting for something around 60 with 2 oz 13.5 AA Magnum 60 min 1 oz 7.5 AA Sterling 15 min Is this at least sane? I might give this a whirl in the next week. Might also try to mix in some pumpkin pie mix or a least a few other spices in a secondary. This should have an SRM of about 7 which is a point dark, but I'm not sure how the pumpkin will affect the color, I don't think it's a bad first try unless someone else has a clone recipe that's already gone for a test drive.

"You can all go to Hell and I will go to Texas"
An armed society is not always a polite society, but it is a free and safe society! Self Defense is an absolute and natural right! Keep your head down and your powder dry!
Not really. If it's so dark that you can't see your sights, it's too dark to be accurate anyway.
The world is filled with violence. Because criminals carry guns, we decent law-abiding citizens should also have guns. Otherwise they will win and the decent people will lose. ~James Earl Jones
We had several officers who actually shot better at their night shooting qual than they did when they shot in the daylight! One of the points I make in my classes about night sights is 'you MUST have a good hand held light to ID your target if you use night sights because you will probably hit what you are shooting at with the night sights'!
If it's in my home, there will be enough ambient light to see at least the outline of the target. The tritium sight allows me to service the target precisely. "Nuff said!
I've always been a fan of NS. Both sets I've had have been MeproLights and can be seen across the room. I've also shot at night, I'd herd rumors that after the first shot they couldn't be seen because of the muzzle flashes effect on your eyes, I found this to be a myth. They definitely don't hurt and if they can provide help in a sticky situation, even once that's great. Personally I like options..
Rise and rise again, until lambs become lions.... DISCE PATI Fear cuts deeper then the sword.
Low light and night sights are great if you can see your target. I believe that laser sights provide a bit of an edge over night sights. Laser sights may also be enough deterrent to prevent firing your weapon. As usual, it depends on the situation.
Depends on your skill level and intended usage. My typical ccw gun i dont really use the sights. Target shooting i do. There is no real disadvantage tactically to having them other than being sure they are installed properly. Most smiths will just use a hammer and punch to drive em home. This is not good since its easy to damage the tritium vials doing that and all of a sudeen one has a minro crack you go to shoot and get a puff of poison gas in your face. Nite sights MUST be installed using a sight pusher NEVER a hammer and punch. Before you get em installed ask the person if they are using a sight pusher for front and rear

Banana pudding parfaits
(Read article summary)Putting banana pudding parfaits in jars make them easy to store and easier to bring with you.
Whipped, The Blog
Somewhere online, I saw this book about desserts in jars. I sort of giggled at the idea that such a specific concept of "desserts in jars" could fill an entire book. But, once I thought about it, I decided it wasn't such a bad idea. I haven't yet flipped through Shaina's book but it did inspire me to build these banana pudding parfaits in jars. They kept well in the refrigerator and would be perfect for picnics or meals on-the-go.
Old fashioned banana pudding has always been a favorite of mine. I like it best the next day when the pudding has made the cookies just soggy enough but the bananas haven't broken down to mush. Since I am a vanilla pudding/custard addict, I prefer traditional, old fashioned vanilla pudding without flavorings or liqueurs adding banana flavor into the pudding. I let the fresh bananas do all the work. And, though I like whipped cream, I didn't include it in this batch. A little, freshly whipped cream cloud on top wouldn't hurt.
Usually, Nilla wafers are used in banana pudding recipes. I experienced a happy accident when I couldn't find them at my local store. Instead, I bought a box of Lorna Doones. The buttery, shortbread cookies were a welcome substitute and will be my first choice in the future. If you have leftover Girl Scout shortbread cookies, this might be a nice place for them to find a final resting place. If you really want to impress, make your own homemade shortbread cookies!
When our last jar of this banana pudding was left, our four-person family eagerly crowded around to share. Fighting almost ensued as little eyes determined whether or not each bite was of equal size. Though the elements are simple, this is one of my all-time favorite desserts. So comforting. Unctuous, rich homemade pudding layered with buttery cookies and fresh bananas. What's not to love?

and concerns of nongeographers about geography's subject matter rather than geography as a discipline (see Sidebar 1.2). It does not review the current state of geography to inform the discipline itself. It is not a description of the history of the discipline in the United States or of how its history has been different in other countries. It is not the statement of a disciplinary consensus on the issues that are addressed. It does not provide a comprehensive review of geography's literature. Indeed, the committee made a conscious effort to keep referencing to a minimum.8
Instead, this report is written for the broad audience that is curious about geography's new place in a national spotlight. It reflects the consensus of the committee on how geography can contribute to issues for science and society on the threshold of the twenty-first century.
SIDEBAR 1.2 Geography, Geographer, Geographic: What's in a Name? The knowledge, perspectives, and techniques of geography (i.e., geography's subject matter), which are discussed in Chapters 3 and 4 of this report, have found wide application in many scientific fields, and they are practiced by more than professional geographers alone. In preparing this assessment of the relevance of geography to science and society, the committee focused on this subject matter because that is the essence of the rising external interest, rather than on the discipline per se. The examples used in this report were largely taken from the geography literature with which the committee is most familiar, although some references are also made to work by scientists who would not call themselves geographers nor refer to their work as "geographic," even though it concerns geography's subject matter. The committee has made no effort to define the boundaries of geography as an academic discipline because the boundaries are diffuse and unlikely to be of much interest to the nongeography audience for this report. Nor has the committee sought to lay claim to an expanded boundary for geography as a discipline by claiming the geographic work of other disciplines as its own. Rather, the committee's intention is to illustrate the application of geography's subject matter wherever it is done—and thereby to demonstrate geography's interconnectedness to other scientific disciplines, which hastens the flow of ideas, concepts, and techniques, and to encourage a stronger influence of geography far beyond its small group of academic practitioners. In this report the committee uses the term geography to refer to the academic discipline and its subject matter, some of which is shared with other natural and social science disciplines. The term geographer is used to refer to practitioners of geography who have acquired expertise in the discipline's knowledge, perspectives, and techniques, either through academic training or other professional experience. The term geographic is used to differentiate the subject matter of geography from the academic discipline. |

All About Steve centers on the antics of nutty Mary Horowitz (Sandra Bullock) a thirtysomething spinster who isn't like most women her age. A cruciverbalist (crossword puzzle writer) by trade she possesses a brain crammed to the hilt with obscure facts arcane trivia and SAT words all of which she happily dispenses — at breakneck speed — on any unfortunate soul who happens to stumble into a conversation with her. And while such a quality may prove useful in her professional life it's terrible for her romantic one. Which is why she lives alone with her parents and her closest confidante is a hamster.
Mary's fortunes abruptly change — in her mind at least — when she's set up on a blind date with Steve (Bradley Cooper) a charming surprisingly handsome cable-news cameraman to whom she feels an immediate intense attraction. So intense in fact that she dedicates an entire crossword puzzle to him confusing readers and angering her boss who immediately fires her. (Apparently there are no copy editors — or editors of any kind for that matter — at the newspaper where Mary works.)
Mary deliberately misinterprets her dismissal as a sign that she is meant to be with Steve who just recently left town on assignment. Determined to follow her "destiny " she packs her bags and embarks on a road trip pursuing her would-be soulmate as he travels to various towns to cover breaking news stories. Understandably freaked-out by the antics of his oddball stalker Steve does his best to give Mary the heave-ho to little avail.
Bullock has amped up the wackiness factor in the latter half of her career riding the "clumsy hot chick" routine to box office success in the blockbuster comedies Miss Congeniality and Miss Congeniality 2: Armed & Fabulous. In All About Steve Bullock effectively carries the film for what it's worth as the neurotic hyperactive Mary.
Thomas Haden Church (Sideways Spider-Man 3) issues a fine performance in a supporting role as a comically self-absorbed chronically insecure TV newsman.
Methinks there's supposed to be a point in All About Steve when Mary's neurotic mannerisms and creepy stalker antics transition from irritating and strange to charming and quirky — making her a sort of cougar Napoleon Dynamite — but that transition never really occurs. Like Steve we just want Mary to go away. Forever.
Normally the film's core message about being true to yourself is a virtuous one but when "yourself" is quite literally THE MOST ANNOYING PERSON IN THE WORLD the exact opposite is true. My greatest fear regarding All About Steve is that dozens of pushy delusional people will see it and feel validated in their behavior.
Sandra Bullock's face is virtually unrecognizable from her Speed days.

(Pseudanthias bartlettorum)
The Barletts' anthias is a tropical marine species found on coral reefs in the western Pacific Ocean. It is a brightly colored fish most commonly seen during the day swimming above areas of branching coral where it will seek shelter when threatened.
Like most anthias species, the Bartletts' anthias forms large schools made up of numerous, small social harems. Each harem is usually composed of a dominant male, several less dominant males, numerous females and juveniles. The dominant male is continually defending the harem from challenges by other males..
You can see this colorful reef inhabitant in the Tropical Diver exhibit.

Angel Stadium of Anaheim, Anaheim, California
ANAHEIM, Calif. -- Yoenis Cespedes and the Boston Red Sox rebounded from an exhausting 19-inning loss with an energizing victory.
Cespedes hit a three-run homer in the eighth inning, Rubby De La Rosa pitched five-hit ball into the eighth and the Red Sox won their first series in three weeks with a 3-1 victory over the Los Angeles Angels on Sunday.
The teams had to go right back to work about 12 hours after a 6 1/2-hour epic won 5-4 by the Angels on Albert Pujols' homer well after midnight. Most position players were exhausted, and neither team scored in the first seven innings on a hot day at Angel Stadium.
Cespedes broke it open with his first homer for his new team, driving a pitch from Joe Smith (4-1) into the Boston bullpen in left.
The Cuban slugger went 1-for-7 in the marathon, and the former Oakland All-Star was 0-for-3 in the series finale before he hurt Smith and the Angels again with his first homer in eight games for the defending World Series champions.
"I knew I hit it well, but I didn't know it was going to be a home run," Cespedes said through a translator. "(The power drought) doesn't bother me or make me worry. I'm just putting good swings on the ball."
Smith has been outstanding for the Angels, but Cespedes has either scored or driven in seven of the 14 runs he has allowed this season. Smith hadn't allowed a run in 23 straight appearances over 23 2/3 innings before Cespedes connected to cap a rally started by first baseman Efren Navarro's error.
Smith said he missed his location on the fateful slider by "a lot. About 428 feet, I think. ... Every time I miss, he's on it. That's what good hitters do. I missed, and he got me. We'll battle again in about a week."
Mike Trout hit his 27th homer in the eighth for the Angels, matching his total from last season.
Both teams needed strong starts, and both pitchers came through.
Hector Santiago threw six scoreless innings of two-hit ball for the Angels, allowing just one runner to reach third.
De La Rosa (4-4) was even better in his first victory in four starts. With Dan Butler making his major league debut at catcher, De La Rosa had eight strikeouts and blanked the Angels until Trout's homer on his 110th pitch.
"I had a rhythm and I was really confident," De La Rosa said.
Koji Uehara pitched the ninth for his 25th save, striking out pinch hitter Josh Hamilton with a runner on as Boston took two of three from the powerful Angels.
De La Rosa got more rest than his teammates because he left the ballpark while the 19-inning game was still going. He didn't put it on television at the hotel, either. "I fell asleep," he said.
The Angels (68-49) still have the majors' second-best record despite losing five of six, but their .223 batting average since the All-Star break is the American League's worst.
"There's some improvement that we need from players," Angels manager Mike Scioscia said. "A lot of this is cyclical. We have a lot of guys that are obviously struggling right now, and we need to just keep pushing forward. We need some hits to fall in. We've just been grinding."
Red Sox: Kelly Johnson made his Boston debut, playing first base. The former Yankees third baseman was activated from the disabled list Thursday.
Angels: Left-hander Tyler Skaggs has elected to undergo Tommy John surgery, likely sidelining him until 2016.
Red Sox: Joe Kelly (0-0, 1.29 ERA) opens an interleague series in Cincinnati on Tuesday.
Angels: Struggling C.J. Wilson (8-8, 4.82 ERA) will start Tuesday against Philadelphia because Matt Shoemaker had to pitch three hitless innings of relief Saturday.

Bristol Rovers have taken up an option to extend Fabian Broghammer's contract for a further year.
The 23-year-old German winger made 38 appearances last season and will now stay at the Memorial Ground for the 2013/14 campaign.
"Last season would have stood him in good stead," manager John Ward told BBC Radio Bristol.
"Fabian enjoyed it but found it tough. He's certainly got talent and has got something exciting, so hopefully he can reproduce that."

Okay, I'm probably going to learn more than I cared to know here, but I'm sure I can be set straight in any event.
Certain firearms I have known and loved such as the AK47, AR15, SKS, etc. are what I call in my mind a "pattern" gun, meaning that I can basically take one part of another gun of the same pattern and stick it on the other gun and it will work, at least in theory. I understand in reality the production tolerances for a lot of the milsurps/imports are so loose that such compatbility is not a reality, but at least in theory you can take the gas tube from one AK47 and stick it on another and it will work.
The other thing that occurs to me is these are all long guns. I've had every long gun I own apart except for two... heck in two cases I had to build the gun from the parts, and in one case I had to completely dissassemble the gun and then reassemble it. I'd never try that with any of my handguns however, the parts in my handguns are much too fine and precise for me to manipulate comfortably. Well I did manage to get the magazine brake out of my CZ, but that's trivial.
Anyway my question brings me to the 1911 format: If I understand correctly, if I have a Government profile slide and frame, I should be able to put parts from a Kimber onto a Colt, from a Springfield onto a Wilson, or from my Norinco onto a Les Baer and vice versa etc etc and it should all work, at least in theory.
So how interchangeable are they really? I'm guessing it's pretty flexible because people put Colt parts in everything. Heck, I've even seen on this forum people using parts from different caliber 1911 format pistols in their traditional 1911.

It may be most useful to resist the temptation to think about digital journalism economics in terms of moving an old business model to a new realm. The common thread in the strategies described in this chapter is that they demonstrate an embrace of the Internet, rather than an attempt to subjugate it to legacy business models.
When viewed that way, the Internet isn't a friend or an enemy. It's reality.

THE SMOKED SAUSAGE KING, HERE IS BIG BAD JIMMY – JIMMY DEANApr 13, 2004
Popular Products in Music
The Bottom Line Jimmy Dean was born "Seth Ward" in Plainview, Texas on 10 August 1928 who later became a Millionaire in the smoked sausage industry
Jimmy grew up in a very poor family and as a young boy had to work on nearby farms to help his family make ends meet. He was raised by his Mother who operated a Barbershop. At the age of 10 years old his mother taught him how to play the piano. He self taught himself how to also play a guitar, the harmonica and an accordion. He joined the Merchant Marines at age 16 and after 2 years he joined the Air Force. While in the Air Force he made his very first public appearance performing with the Tennessee Haymakers around the Washington, D.C. area where he was stationed at the time. He received his honorable discharge in 1948 and decided to stay in the area and start up his own band called the Texas Wildcats. They toured U.S. Army bases throughout the Caribbean. He then found work first at WARL Radio in Arlington, Virginia and then at WTOP TV in Washington, D.C. In 1952 he signed a contract with Four Star records. On 7 March 1953 his very first record Bumming Around debuted on the Country singles chart and peaked at #5. His name appeared as Jimmie Dean on the record and soon after he decided to change it to Jimmy. He next hosted a local TV show devoted to country music and gave notice to both Patsy Cline and Roy Clark. The show became so popular that CBS TV offered him a contract to do it for them. He appeared on a daytime half-hour variety show called The Jimmy Dean Show based in Washington D.C. from April to December. On 22 June 1957 The Jimmy Dean Show was also shown at night on CBS until September on Saturday nights from 10:30 to 11:30. He signed a new contract with Columbia records and his first release with them was Deep Blue Sea that debuted on 14 October 1957 on the Pop singles chart and peaked at #67. His next release was Little Sandy Sleighfoot that made its single pop debut on 23 December and peaked at #32. He released other singles on Columbia from 1957 to 1961 but none of them made any of the charts. On 2 October 1961 Big Bad John debuted on the pop chart and peaked at #1 for 5 weeks. It debuted on the country chart on 16 October and also went to #1 where it stayed for 2 weeks and became his very first million selling record. In 1962 he had 5 hits on the country singles charts and he had 7 on the pop singles charts. His biggest hit this year was P.T. 109 that peaked at #3 on the country chart and peaked at #8 on the pop chart. The song was about the exploits of John Fitzgerald Kennedy in the Navy in the South Pacific and the sinking of his P.T. Boat by a torpedo in 1943. He also released a follow up song to Big Bad John called Cajun Queen who comes to town to rescue her man. In September 1963 ABC TV signed him to do The Jimmy Dean Show on their network on Thursday nights from 9 to 10 PM. It was on Thursday nights up to September 1965 where it moved to Friday nights from 10 to 11 PM until it finally went off the air in April 1966. It was on this show that the very first Muppet character named Rowlf the long eared, wise cracking, piano-playing dog appeared and was a regular weekly character on the show. He had only one song on the charts in 1964 it was Mind Your Own Business that peaked at #35 on the country chart. It was written by and previously performed by Hank Williams that had a #5 country hit of it in 1949. In 1965 he had 2 songs on both the pop and country charts the biggest of these was his #1 country hit The First Thing Evry Morning (And The Last Thing Evry Night). His contract with Columbia expired in late 1965 and he signed a new contract with RCA records. He had Stand Beside Me that went to #10 on the country singles chart in 1966. He saw 3 hits on the country singles chart in 1967 with the biggest of these being Sweet Misery that went to #16. Once again in 1968 he had 3 more songs on the country singles chart with the biggest of these being A Thing Called Love that peaked at #21. He became a regular on the NBC TV show Daniel Boone this year playing Josh Clements until the show went off the air on 27 August 1970. He had only one country single on the chart in 1969 with A Rose Is A Rose Is A Rose that peaked at #52. Also this year he starred in a Made for TV Movie called The Ballad Of Andy Crocker along with Lee Majors, Agnes Moorehead, Joey Heatherton and Marvin Gaye. He founded the Jimmy Dean Meat Company and invested most of his earnings in hog farming. In 1971 he had 2 country hits with the best of these being a duet with Dottie West titled Slowly that peaked at #29. He starred in the James Bond Movie this year Diamonds Are Forever with Sean Connery, Jill St. John and others. In 1972 he had one country song on the singles chart with The One You Say Good Mornin To that peaked at #38. He also starred in his 2nd Made for TV Movie this year in Rolling Man along with Slim Pickens, Dennis Weaver, Agnes Moorehead and others. He had only one song on the country singles chart in 1973 with Your Sweet Love (Keeps Me Homeward Bound) that stalled at #90. In 1976 he had 2 hits on the country charts and his final hit on the pop charts in I.O.U. that peaked at #35 on the pop chart. It would peak at #9 on the country chart and become his first top 10 hit in 10 years. The song was a narrative tribute to his Mother. He also re-recorded a new version of his #15 country hit from 1962 To A Sleeping Beauty that this time only peaked at #85. He also starred in his 3rd Made for TV Movie this year called The City along with Don Johnson, Mark Hamill, William Conrad and others. In 1977 I.O.U. was re-released and stalled at #90 on the country singles chart this time. In 1983 I.O.U. was re-released again and this time peaked at #77 on the country singles chart and became his final charting record. In the mid 80s Jimmy sold his meat company to Sara Lee Foods but remained on as its chairman and TV spokesman. In 1990 he appeared in the Movie Big Bad John along with Buck Taylor, Jack Elam, Ned Beatty, Bo Hopkins and others. My favorite CD by Jimmy Dean is GREATEST HITS that was released on Columbia records on 27 January 1998. The songs on this CD are listed below in the order as they appear followed by their length and then by my rating of each song: 1. Big Bad John 3:01 5 2. The Cajun Queen 2:38 4 3.

Debut on 05/14/83, Peaked at #77 SOME SONG LYRICS BIG BAD JOHN (Big John, Big John) Ev'ry mornin' at the mine you could see him arrive He stood six foot six and weighed two forty five Kinda broad at the shoulder and narrow at the hip And everybody knew ya didn't give no lip to Big John. (Big John, Big John) Big Bad John (Big John) Nobody seemed to know where John called home He just drifted into town and stayed all alone He didn't say much, kinda quiet and shy And if you spoke at all, you just said "Hi" to Big John. Somebody said he came from New Orleans Where he got in a fight over a Cajun Queen And a crashin' blow from a huge right hand Sent a Loosiana fellow to the Promised Land-Big John (Big John, Big John) Big Bad John (Big John) Then came the day at the bottom of the mine When a timber cracked and men started cryin' Miners were prayin' and hearts beat fast And everybody thought that they'd breathed their last-'cept John Through the dust and the smoke of this man-made hell Walked a giant of a man that the miners knew well Grabbed a saggin' timber, gave out with a groan And like a giant oak tree he just stood there alone-Big John (Big John, Big John) Big Bad John (Big John) And with all of his strength he gave a mighty shove Then a miner yelled out "There's a light up above!" And twenty men scrambled from a would-be grave Now there's only one left down there to save-Big John With jacks and timbers they started back down Then came that rumble way down in the ground And then smoke and gas belched out of that mine Everybody knew it was the end of the line for Big John (Big John, Big John) Big Bad John (Big John) CAJUN QUEEN She kinda breezed into town from New Orleans, And said, "Boys, I'm Big John's Cajun Queen, Now I didn't come here to argue or waste anbody's time, I just came to get my man from your dirty old mine, 'Cause he moves me! Now where you give up's where old Queenie's gonna start, 'Cause I got a powerful love in my heart, So just show me the hole way down in the ground, And tell the whole wide world Big John's been found, And he's livin'!" So down in the mine without a sign of a light, Old Queenie went a-lookin' for John that night, She found him there at the bottom of the pit, And placed a red hot kiss on those cold blue lips! He started breathin'! She waited a minute and then she kissed him again, And old John got the power of a hundred men, Up he come a-clawin' and a-diggin' like a mole, And said, "Come on Queenie, we're gonna leave this hole!" They started walkin'! Now a roar from the crowd greeted this fine pair, As they both walked out in that cool night air, And up for silence went Big John's hand, And the Queen said, "I told you I'd get my man, 'Cause he moves me!" You can find them today, they're down in New Orleans, Big Bad John and his Cajun Queen, They're a little bit wrinkled from the strain of time, But their love's just as strong as that night in the mine, A hundred and ten grandchildren! P.T. 109 In '43 they Set to sea 13 men and Kennedy Aboard the PT 109 To fight the Brazen enemy On the isle of ol lusana in the strait beyond nehru A Jap destroyer in the night Cut the '109 in two. Smokin fire upon the sea Everywhere they looked was the enemy the heathen gods of old Japan Yeah, the thought they had the best of a mighty good man On the coast, commanderos, lookin thru this periscope Australian niven saw the battle For the crew had little hope two were dead, some were wounded, all were clinging to the bow Fightin fire, fightin water, trying to save their lives somehow. Smokin fire upon the sea Everywhere they looked was the enemy the heathen Gods of old Japan Yeah, the thought they had the best of a mighty good man Mac Me hun, the irishman, was burned so badly he couldn't swim leave me here, go on he said, cause if you don't we'll all be dead the PT's skipper wouldn't leave him, a man to die alone at sea with his strap, between his teeth, he towed the irishman to the sea. JAGUARDOGS FINAL THOUGHTS I had only one record in my collection by Jimmy and that was his biggest hit Big Bad John until within the last few years when I have purchased a few of his compilation greatest hits CDs. If I ever get back into collecting singles again I will be looking to get that one back again and also look for my other favorite of his P.T. 109. A few of Jimmys bigger hits were spoken as opposed to sung and had a musical background. A good example of this was Dear Ivan that had the Battle Hymn Of The Republic playing in the background. Another of these was To A Sleeping Beauty that had the tune Memories in the background. His one charting Christmas hit Yes, Patricia, There Is A Santa Clause was inspired by the 1897 newspaper article titled Yes, Virginia, There Is A Santa Clause. I remember watching The Jimmy Dean Show almost every week mostly to see the talking Muppet Dog Ralph, pronounced Rowlf. Jimmy Deans sound was amiable, good-natured, innocent, laid-back, mellow, smooth and sometimes told a story. Well thats all I have for today, thanks for reading and rating and if you want to leave a comment. Up next I have planned a group that Im sure most of you will be very surprised when I cover them because of the genre I believe? |

5 Dividend Boosters That Could Really Pay Off
Get Paid With These 5 Probable Dividend Boosters
BALTIMORE ( Stockpickr) -- Who cares about dividends? With the S&P 500 in rally mode this fall, it's easy to ignore the cash payouts that companies are offering up to investors right now. After all, dividends only matter in tough markets, not markets where you can make capital gains hand over fist, right?
>>5 Stocks Poised to Break Out
Even in 2013, dividend investing is paying off in a big way. While the S&P 500's year-to-date capital gains have weighed in at a lofty 23.6% as of this writing, the payout-centric S&P 500 Dividend Aristocrats Index has generated total returns of 27.3% over that same period. That's pretty material outperformance. And that's not all. Over the last three and a half decades, dividend stocks have outperformed the rest of the S&P 500 by 2.5% annually, and they outperformed nonpayers by nearly 8% every year, all while paying out cash to their shareholders, based on data compiled by Ned Davis Research. The numbers are even more compelling when looking at companies that consistently increase their payouts. >>3 Big Stocks on Traders' Radars To take advantage of that trend today, we're focusing on dividend stocks that look ready to hike their payouts. So instead of chasing yield, we'll try to step in front of the next round of stock payout hikes. For our purposes, that "crystal ball" is composed of a few factors: namely a solid balance sheet, a low payout ratio, and a history of dividend hikes. While those items don't guarantee dividend announcements in the next month or three, they do dramatically increase the odds that management will hike their cash payouts. Without further ado, here's a look at five stocks that could be about to increase their dividend payments in the next quarter.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Florida's Same-Sex Couples Could Start Marrying on September 22 If Rick Scott Team Lets Court Ruling Stand
Though spokespeople for the governor say Scott is respectful of the many views Floridians have on the state's ban, they say he believes in the "traditional marriage" that is consistent with the state's 2008 constitutional amendment, in which 62 percent of Floridians voted in favor of only legally recognizing heterosexual relationships. Governor Scott has since dodged questions on whether he supports same-sex couples right to marry.
"I think those who are allowed to appeal are probably going to do so. This is Governor Scott's election year, so by not doing anything he could upset his conservative constituents," said Mark Ebenhoch, media director for the South Florida couples who are currently challenging the state's ban. "I think it's wishful thinking that this ruling will go through without an appeal-- but it would be nice if it did. He's got to do something, or will find someone to do something for him. It's a political hot potato."
Right now all eyes are on Governor Scott. If neither of the Rick Scott appointees nor the small-town clerk of court appeals, then marriage equality will be brought to Florida next month.
The South Florida couples, who have been challenging the state's ban for months, are anxiously waiting. The couples believe that this could be a time that the governor chooses not to get in the way of equality but instead to do what is right.
"It would be almost too good to be true, wouldn't? Here we are again on pins-and-needles hoping that maybe, just maybe, this time things will be different," said Todd Delmay, who is challenging the state's ban with his partner Jeff in the merged Pareto-Huntsman case. "That instead of continuing to waste money on appeals, and refusing us the dignity and respect that our families deserve, that perhaps the three individuals who can appeal will do what is best for the greater good this time. Rather than fighting against those who seek only to be treated equally, they could make a stand for what is right... We will win this. Maybe not on September 22nd, but soon. Of that I am quite certain."

Involvement:Novice (still getting used to it) - Ownership:more than 1 month
Pros:Small size and pretty good quality. Tiny blue LED activity light. Reads up to 16GB. Comes in retail packaging.
Cons:I have bought 4. Of these. The 3 that worked, work great and never give me any trouble. One of them does not work and has never worked. When plugged it, the LED lights up, but it does not read the card and the computer does not even recognize that it's plugged in. It did not damage my card, it just down nothing except light up.
OtherThoughts:I have no complaint except that the quality control is an issue. But the price is really low so i don't mind. I live in the united states so it takes a while to get here, but this is a great item that i cannot buy in a store. I did't even bother with RMA. I just threw it in the trash.
Bottomline:Good stuff, mostly.

The Philippine Textile Research Institute (PTRI), as a line agency of the Department of Science and Technology (DOST) supports the local textile and allied industries achieve global competitiveness through utilization of indigenous resources, and development of technical competence in textile production and quality assurance.
Various stakeholders of the Philippine local textiles will gather for this year's Textile Conference dubbed as
TELA Serye: ... kahapon, ngayon, bukas.
Philippine Textiles: the Future, Today.
The one-day affair, organized by the Department of Science and Technology's (DOST) Philippine Textile Research Institute (PTRI), will be a perfect venue to discuss innovations on the textile, garment, and fashion industry and to showcase the Institute's expanded technological developments and initiatives.
The process of natural dyeing in the country is deeply ingrained in our culture. It is an age-old tradition that can be traced back to the early indigenous groups who established their unique identity through the colors derived and inspired by the abundant natural resources surrounding them. In the recent years, with the advent of modernization and with mass-produced synthetic dyes entering the picture, the process of natural dyeing have fallen into the wayside with a few remaining indigenous groups choosing to continue it in order to uphold their tradition.
PTRI organized exhibit/bazaar with a theme "Philippine Neo-Ethnic Textiles: Weaving Tradition and Technology". The event was held in DFA, Roxas Boulevard, Pasay City on September 23-26, 2014. Some of the PTRI partners which participated in the exhibit/bazaar were Custommade Crafts Center, Development Action for Women Network, Great Women, Kingsmen, La Herminia Pina Weaving, Nooks Manufacturing International Corporation, and Rurungan sa Tubud.
The Department of Science and Technology (DOST) is celebrating the National Science and Technology Week (NSTW) on July 24-28, 2014 at the SMX Convention Center, Pasay City and is themed Philippines: A Science Nation Meeting Global Challenges. Exhibits, fora and other events revolve around the DOST 8 Outcomes and showcases S&T interventions and innovations aimed at providing a better life for every Juan thru S&T. Highlights of the event are activities towards One ASEAN which is happening in 2015.
SGS Gulf Limited – Regional Operating Headquarters, a business processing outsource provider for the SGS Group a Geneva-based risk management and quality assurance service provider, seeks out PTRI's expertise on textile manufacturing and textile quality assurance.
Two batches of SGS Gulf Limited-ROHQ employees and representatives from the Textile Enthusiasts and Leather Aficionado Association Group (TELA) visited PTRI's Pilot Plant and its chemical and physical laboratories on June 4 and 18, 2014.

Lately, my Exchange calendar will only sync back 2 weeks, other than recurring events. I need to be able to see at least several months back. Is there any way to change this? I am not using Google calendars at all, but syncing directly with Exchange. Other than this recent issue, calendar, email and contacts all seem to be syncing with no problems.
Has anyone found a fix to this? Not being able to use my phone to look back in my corporate calendar more than two weeks makes the Droid Razr an ineffective business tool. Please tell me someone has found a fix to this that doesn't require the downloading of a third party app. I have been in touch with Motorola support but they don't seem to be aware of this limitation. They wanted me to reset my phone, but couldn't assure me that it would correct the problem and I'm reluctant to lose even more history by doing so (ie. text history) without some expectation that it would solve the problem. I have been given a case number and am told that the matter is being "escalated" but I'm hoping someone has already discovered a "fix". I will post what they tell me when/if I hear back from them.
I got a Droid Razr last week on Friday which had to be returned and it did that as well except it goes back to April 1st. I exchanged it this morning for a Razr Maxx and it is exactly the same way. My google calendar is fine on the computer but on my phone, I can only look at April and May 2012. Hopefully some very technical person will be able to help us!! Wendy

Nudists over the age of 29 usually develop tan lines under the crease of their butt. When standing still they cannot be seen, but when someone is walking away the untanned regions will flash in alternation.
The only tanlines she had were her winkies.

text: Figure skates are designed for graceful controlled movement with a higher centre of gravity (good posture, upright torso) and anticipated changes of direction. Hockey skates are designed for quick violent unpredictable changes in direction with a lower centre of gravity. So figure skate blades have less rocker to "lock" you into your glide / edge. They have an extended tail end to allow you to stand up tall with a flat back and not fall over backward. And they have a toe pick to allow you to jump and land. All of the above make them far from ideal for hockey where agility and quick, violent unanticipated changes of direction are key. In a hockey environment, he's sure to fall on his face due to the toe picks. Hockey skates have no toe picks and no tail end. They are shaped just like the rocker on a rocking chair, so you can move very quickly in any direction. Aside from that, the other kids might make fun of him.

Amber Money - Expense Manager
100,000 - 500,000 downloads
- Simple, intuitive layout
- Can add detailed information for each entry
- Attach photos to accompany entries
- Not optimized for tablets
- Non-pro version a bit simplistic
+ By Amberfog
Keep track of your expenditures and income over time
Ever had a moth flutter out of your wallet, Looney Tunes style? Me either, so I definitely can't blame bugs for nibbling away all my precious cash. If only you and I had used a tool like Amberfog's Amber Money - Expense Manager, we might know just where all that precious dough had gone over the course of the month.
Every time you make a purchase (or - gasp! - receive some coin yourself), make an entry. Include as much information as you like, including category ("Food," "Fun," etc), amount spent or earned, and any commentary you might want to make. You can also take or upload a photo to accompany the entry. Over time, this data is compiled into weekly and monthly sets, which you can revise in order to determine your personal spending and earning habits.
These are the basic features of the app; if you upgrade to pro, you'll get access to a whole lot more.
The design here is simple and clean, although I found it wasn't optimized for tablets and some of the text was cut off. It also isn't super convenient to have to enter data every single time you buy something; I imagine integration with your bank card would be an optimal solution.
Amberfog's Amber Money - Expense Manager is a decent basic way to organize what's happening with your hard-earned cash.

Really like the simplicity of this app so far. But can you add the option to repeat expenses month by month or weekly. For example, I have regular direct debits which I do not want to enter in every month? I think then it would get a 5 star rating
Nice app...only thing missing is auto backup scheduler to dropbox.
No category tree
Love this app, has definitely helped me track my spendings! My only issue is that I wish you could create an account with it so it would be available on your laptop/tab etc and so that you could manage it on one account on various devices. Because this is not available, I'm in the process of finding a different expense management.
I just bought Amber pro from in app purchase. If I Uninstall and want to install back will pro still work for me?
No chg categories. No merchant field. More.
Very great app. สุดยอดครับ ผมชอบ
