New York Botanical Garden, Bronx
4 Reviews
4 Reviews
I've been to the this Botantical Garden more times than I can remember. It's huge and a wonderful place to spend a day with your family or loved one. Accordingy to the Tram Guide, the gardens were modeled after Kew Gardens in London.
The gardens are quite expensive to visit and if you want to visit all the different gardens and ride on the Tram, you must purchase an all pass ticket for $20 per adult.
It had been many years since I last visted the gardens. A Moore Sculpture exhibit gave me an excuse and reason to visit this year so I invited my daughter and her family to come along and spend our usual day together at the gardens.
The Moore Sculptures are found through out the many different gardens and are quite interesting to see with all the beautiful natural surroundings.
The New York Botanical Gardens are located in the Bronx. They are very vast and home to a lot of fun special programing. In the winter there is a village/train set up, Chihuly was on display, events on the history of chocolate and vanilla, etc.
I couldn't fit all my travel directions in the respective box.
If feeling adventurous take the "D" to Fordham Rd and walk 10 (or so) blocks (down the hill) and really get the feel for some of the culture. BE IN THE FRONT of the train (easiest way...1st 2 cars are best) you'll come out right by the stairs and then come out right by a really yummy pizza place "Best Italian Pizza). Go in and grab a slice that's as big as your paper plate...fold and enjoy on your walk down to the Gardens.
What an absolutely beautiful place this is. The New York Botanical garden was established in 1891 and consists of 250 acres for someone to explore. You can walk it as I did or use the tram and take one of the tours. It is Open Tuesday through Sunday 10-6 in the warmer months and 10-5 during the later fall through early spring. The garden is divided into many different sections including a rock garden, native plant garden, rose garden, perennial garden and plant collections (narcissus, native forest, ornamental conifers etc.). Also available to explore are two gallaries, a library, and a conservatory.
I came on a warm and beautiful Sunday afternoon and spent my day enjoying the fragrant blooms. It was prime time for roses, so I got an extra special treat. When the wind blew in the right direction you could smell the rose garden from the other side of the gardens.
While I was here, I took some time to enjoy a snack at the cafe. I had some herbal tea and a salad of grape tomatoes, greek olives, artichoke hearts and mozzerella cheese marinated in balsamic vinegrette. It was soooo delicious.
Look for the many flower pictures that I took in my travelogues.
This can be pricey if more than one or two people are going. A combination ticket runs $13.00 for an adult. Parking is $7.00. Check the site for other pricing information.
Come here to visit of the last stand of forest within NYC city limits, and the largest virgin forest in a city, 40 acres! There are many varieties of local and exotic plants and always special exibits. A great way to "get away" from the city and imagine what it was like before NYC became the wonderfully crazy place it is today.
For all the information you need, visit the botanical garden´s webpage for prices, directions, exibits, etc.

BJP on Saturday slammed the government for adopting an "incongruous" policy on the fight against Naxalism and charged that it has tried to give terrorism a communal colour for appeasement politics and targeting political opponents.
The BJP National Executive, which is meeting in Panaji for a two-day conclave, on Saturday passed a resolution on 'Security and Self-respect' where the party expressed its concerns on issues ranging from foreign policy and treatment meted out to the Italian marines in the fishermen killing case to growing Naxalism and terrorism in the country.
The right-wing party vehemently defended its government in Chhattisgarh on the May 25 ambush on Congress leaders of the state by Maoists in which over a dozen people were killed.
The BJP said the Raman Singh government in the state has put in place a comprehensive plan to fight Naxal violence.
It charged the Congress of speaking in a confusing tone on the issue.
"The incongruities in the Congress' policy of dealing with Naxalism on one hand whilst, and on the other, particularly during elections, doing deals with them, come to the surface periodically. Such reports have emerged from Andhra Pradesh and from Chhattisgarh," the resolution said.
BJP spokesperson Nirmala Sitharaman told reporters in the May 25 violence, for which some sections of the Congress have accused the state government of being responsible, preliminary reports emanating from the National Investigative Agency (NIA) have pointed a finger of suspicion on a few Congressmen as having maintained links with Maoists even as being a part of the targeted convoy.
"The Congress owes an explanation on this," she said.
The main opposition said Naxalism continues to spread across the country and Naxals are now reportedly developing links with terrorists as well as buying arms from Pakistan and China.
"In 2005, there were 156 (Naxal-hit) districts in 13 states affected in varying degree. Media reports say Maoists have spread to 182 districts in 15 states. The Planning Commission of India has gone further and claimed that Left wing extremism prevails in 233 districts in 20 states," the resolution said.
The party also maintained that there needs to be a comprehensive policy of dealing with Naxalism and though some effort was made in this direction by Congress after the 2010 Dantewada massacre in which 78 security personnel were killed, the process was abandoned.
"The then Home Minister had declared the policy of 'Clear, Hold and Develop' the Naxal-affected areas. Soon Congress president Sonia Gandhi and her senior party functionaries, including a general secretary wrote articles essentially sympathising with the Naxal cause in various publications.
"It resulted in stalling the proposal and demoralising the security forces. After sometime the same Home Minister started giving excuse that he has a limited mandate," Sitharaman said.
Enumerating the efforts made by the party, BJP said it has tried to work for the aspirations of the tribals in Chhattisgarh.
"In the past nine years under Raman Singh, the BJP-led government in Chhattisgarh has undertaken various developmental projects and enacted the comprehensive Food Security Act, which is being implemented through an efficiently run PDS," the resolution said.

The spotted wing drosophila is a vinegar fly about 1/16 to 1/8 inch long with red eyes, pale brown thorax, and a black-striped abdomen. The males have a distinguishing black spot toward the tip of each wing. Females have no spots but have a prominent, saw-like ovipositor for drilling fruit to lay their eggs.
Chiu teamed with scientists at UC Davis, Oregon State University, the China National Gene Bank and the American Museum of Natural History as part of a $5.8 million project on the biology and management of spotted wing drosophila, funded by a U.S. Department of Agriculture Specialty Crops Research Initiative grant to OSU entomologist Vaughn Walton and a team of investigators including Professor Frank Zalom of the UC Davis Department of Entomology and Nematology, who is the lead UC Davis investigator.
Zalom, recently inducted as president of the nearly 7,000-member Entomological Society of America, said that the G3 article "presents a high-quality reference sequence of Drosophila suzukii, examination of the basic properties of its genome and transcriptome, and description of patterns of genome evolution in relation to its close relatives."
The SpottedWingFlybase Web portal has drawn more than 3,000 page views from 20 countries, including the United States, France, Italy, Belgium, China, Spain, Japan, Germany and Great Britain.
"Given this impressive response and the worldwide importance of Drosophila suzukii, I expect that the G3 article will become very highly cited and cast Joanna Chiu as a central figure in future Drosophila suzukii genomic studies related to topics such as insecticide detoxification, odorant reception and regulatory entomology," Zalom said.
OSU entomologist Vaughn Walton, lead investigator of the USDA grant, said: "Scientists from all over the

Robin McGraw's Lip Shades Fight Back Against Domestic Violence
Friday, August 1st, 2014
Picking out a yet another lip product never gets old, and now you can wear a new hue while making a difference.
All profits from the Robin McGraw Avery Lasting Love Collection ($16 each, RobinMcGrawRevelation.com) will be donated to domestic violence prevention programs though When Georgia Smiled: The Robin McGraw Revelation Foundation. As described on its web site, the foundation "creates and advances programs that help women and children, especially those affected by domestic violence, live healthy, safe and joy-filled lives."
The "Georgia" mentioned above is McGraw's late mother, Avery is McGraw's granddaughter. Each lip gloss shade incorporates the first and middle names of McGraw's mother and daughter-in-law, Erica. Now we're wondering if there's a product named for McGraw's husband–the famous Dr. Phil–in the works!
If you've reached the big 4-0, this beauty tips are for you!

By M. MAGESWARI
KUALA LUMPUR: The founder of telecommunications service provider NasionCom Holdings Bhd Datuk Chee Kok Wing was charged in two courts with eight counts of bribery involving RM3.85mil.
Chee, 45, claimed trial at a Sessions Court here on Tuesday to six charges of accepting bribes amounting to RM3.1mil and was slapped with another two bribery charges involving RM750,000 at the Petaling Jaya Sessions Court later.
The former NasionCom Holdings group managing director is accused of committing the offences to help the listing of a seafood company on Bursa Malaysia and to stop investigations by the Securities Commission (SC).
He is alleged to have received a RM1mil bribe each via a bank account from Gropoint Ocean Food Sdn Bhd (GOF) director Lee Sin Teck as an inducement for SC division director Kris Azman Abdullah to help in the listing of GOF on Bursa Malaysia and to stop a probe by the SC.
He is said to have committed the offence at the Alliance Bank Malaysia Bhd in Mid Valley City here on May 19, 2006 and May 25, 2006.
Chee faces a third charge of obtaining a bribe of RM600,000 from GOF director Datuk Lim Kim Ming through businessman Koh Yuet Yee for the same purpose at the NasionCom office here on May 29, 2006.
He allegedly received a RM50,000 bribe from GOF corporate services division director Wong Tze Yen through Koh for the same matter at the same place on May 30, 2006.
Chee is said to have received RM50,000 and RM400,000 from Lim through Koh at the same office on May 30, 2006 and the next day for a similar purpose.
If convicted, he can be jailed up to 20 years and fined five times the amount of the bribe for each charge under the Anti-Corruption Act 1997.
DPP Abdul Razak Musa, who is the director of legal and prosecution for the Anti-Corruption Agency, asked the court to set Chee's bail at RM1mil on grounds that the offences were serious and non-bailable.
Lead counsel Tan Hock Chuan, however, pleaded for RM100,000, saying that bail should not be punitive and that as his client wanted to clear his name, he would not abscond from the country.
He asked the court not to impound Chee's passport saying that his client often travelled to China and Dubai on business.
He said Chee only has a house worth RM6mil and another asset worth RM300,000 in Malaysia.
Judge S.M. Komathy Suppiah granted bail at RM500,000 in one surety and ordered him to report to an investigating officer once in two months.
Komathy set June 27 for mention on an application by DPP Abdul Razak that the prosecution had yet to decide if it wanted a joint trial with his other bribery case.
At 2.50pm, he claimed trial at the PJ Sessions Court to accepting bribes on two occasions from Lim for the same mattter at his house in Seri Kembangan between June 17, 2006 and the next day.
Judge Nurmala Salim granted bail at RM50,000 in one surety and set June 26 for mention. His wife posted bail.

The cute couple have been linked to each other ever since Ryan divorced his wife of three years, Scarlett Johnasson, last December, and sources suggest their relationship has stepped up two notches ever since Ryan "moved some things into Sandra's Austin home".
An insider spilled, "Ryan and Sandra are ready to take their relationship to the next level and get married."
It's believed that the 34-year-old, who is 13 years Sandra's junior, brought up the subject of marriage while holidaying with the actress and her baby son Louis, who he completely idolises.
A source said, "Ryan told her he was ready to tie the knot. And after seeing how quickly he's bonded with Louis, she decided she's ready to pull the trigger, too. So they started discussing the logistics of pulling off a low-key, barefoot wedding, reflecting their laid-back lifestyle."
Meanwhile however, Sandra and Ryan are still insisting they are just "good friends" with Ryan even spotted out in New York with Olivia Wilde, however some believe this is simply a rouse in order to draw attention from the secretive couple.

Memory Improvement Software Ultimate Memory A "Personal Trainer," eReflect Announces
In a new review by Squidoo comparing Ultimate Memory and another memory improvement software, Ultimate Memory managed to keep its place as the No.1 memory improvement software due to its ability to guide the user through training exercises. As eReflect noted recently in a brief announcement discussing this review, the reason the software is so successful is due to its personalized training approach.
New York City, NY (PRWEB) April 09, 2013
When the developers at eReflect were working with memory experts to design the Ultimate Memory software system, they chose an approach to improving memory performance that rests on a more diligently designed methodology, making it more efficient at memory improvement. As the developers explained in a recent statement outlining the features of the 2013 release of Ultimate Memory, this methodology is the same one that personal trainers use at a gym, giving guided practice exercises to the user to help them build memory strength in a planned fashion. In a recent Squidoo review, the reviewer also compared the use of the software to a gym exercising routine. When someone consciously and effectively builds muscle, rather than haphazardly spending a few minutes on each machine, long-term and lasting physical strength and stamina occurs. In this case, with the use of memory software, the user's memory skills strengthen and become less impervious to aging and deterioration, the more the user practices.
Of all 2013 memory software reviews to date, the one that stands out is this Squidoo review comparing Ultimate Memory to Phenomenal Memory software. As eReflect, the parent company of Ultimate Memory revealed today, the detailed review provided an in-depth analysis of two different memory software programs, contrasting their features. In the end, the review concluded that Ultimate Memory´s wins out over all other memory improvement software products on the market.
The review suggests that despite an impressive list of components in a competing product, Phenomenal Memory, Ultimate Memory covers all eight types of memory through its seven different components, enabling the user to improve their memory in a uniform and long-lasting manner. The review also touches upon the twofold method of learning Ultimate Memory offers. That is, it provides both expertly designed games and practices as well as prompting the learner with techniques and methods for better information recall.
A unique feature to Ultimate Memory is its performance tracking ability, which allows users to instantly have access to their memory improvement progress and immediately know which aspects of their memory further need improvement. The reviewer suggests that the performance tracking feature acts as a motivator, boosting the user´s urge to study further with Ultimate Memory. The last feature the review deals with is the video tutorials in Ultimate Memory that render it especially suitable for people new to memory improvement software, making the process less frustrating and more straightforward for the user. Again, as the development team at eReflect points out, this mirrors the way a personal trainer at the gym demonstrates exercises, resulting in quicker understanding and more effective practice.
The review´s verdict is that Ultimate Typing is better than all other memory improvement software products because of the many features that are unique to it, and first and foremost due to its unparalleled efficiency in improving memory. eReflect is grateful for this and all other feedback from users and reviewers, and welcomes input designed to make future releases of the software even better.

Fairly frustrating (RedHat 9)
I have the latest kernel downloaded and installed, 2.4.20-13.9. I'm technically a noobie to all of this because i just installed linux two days ago, but after a couple of hours of tinkering, i was finally able to get the
NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-4363.run --kernel-include-path /usr/include/linux/kernel.h
correct, with the correct kernel header file and everything, and yet, it was still unable to compile a new installer or whatever it was doing...how do i fix this problem, or should i just wait for a newer driver to come out that is (to the best of my knowledge) behind current kernel's put out by Red Hat. A little disgruntled, please help! :)
Did I just not get the correct header file? Anyone else who has successfully installed this driver with the new kernel please tell me how to do it.
I'm running
GeForce2 Go 32Mb
Red Hat 9
Dell Inspiron 8000 motherboard (don't know actual model)
a Pentium III 900MHz
well d00d if your new to the scene i don't know why you are specifying kernel header files...just run the basic install and see what the deal is...and post your log files for we can help ya threw this...
well i'm new at linux not, necessarily computer illiterate though, but i was wondering how to view that log file in a format i can put here, since i'm not in X when the error occurs. (this is where explicit instructions are needed because i can be the noobie i am lol) thanks a bunch. i specified the kernel files because after trying to do it normal, it told me to do it that way
so after trial and error of a format it would accept, it was off to X to figure out where the dumb header file was, after trying several different ones i found, i got the farthest with the one i posted above. i also looked at all the precompiled ones and they stop at 12, i have 13 as my kernel version, so i'm not sure what the problem is. but i honestly did do it the normal noobie way first <shy g>
ok, i think i figured something out here... i ran
rpm -qv kernel-source
and it said that the "kernel-source" is not installed. that seems like an important fact, and if it is, how do i install it?
Since you have updated your kernel, you will have to download the sources from the web. The kernel sources that are supplied on the CD are likely _not_ going to work for you. So, here's a link to the current redhat kernel sources: ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linu...-13.9.i386.rpm
Fair warning, this is nearly 40MB in size in case you are working on dial-up.
If that site is busy, you can check for mirrored sites on http://www.redhat.com/mirrors.html
Once you have the file, just do an rpm -i kernel-source-2.4.20-13.9.i386.rpm and you "should" be good to go. Good luck :)
Thanks for all the help guys. I fixed it this morning and got the driver up and running. But for anyone who was having trouble similar to me, here is the layman's run down. I rebooted my computer with the Red Hat9 install CD, and then did an upgrade. I installed the kernel-source.rpm and then entered back into X as root. there was an update on Red Hat network for the newest source and i installed it. then opened a terminal window and typed init 3, the rest is the same as the install instructions. Once again thank you all the help. have a good one and God bless.
A general rule when handling Linux....
1. Relax. Take a deep breath...
2. Forget all hurry.
3. Accept the idea that sometimes you may need to spend two weeks to solve some installation problem which is possible to solve in windows with 15 minutes... :-)
4. Take it as a hobby. Forget the idea that everything should be allways ready.
5. Enjoy problem solving...
If you can make it run you are a hero. You can do things that windows people never could make because they are simply lacking that ATTITUDE. Windows is for vimps.
Anyway once you can make it run it runs for MONTHS without reboot. It may even run for ONE YEAR without reboot. Forget this this Windows...and so on.
Good luck, Blessing,

Another couple, Dave and Joanne from Kansas City, who have been married for 11 years, said after having kids, their relationship became like work. They said they wished they had come to a program like this earlier in their relationship.
"It's powerful, really powerful," Joanne said.
"A lot of this practice of meeting each other and focusing on each other, that's helped a lot," Dave added. "We've been surprised at how powerful it's been."
The retreat also came with tantalizing afternoon homework assignments, or, as the Daffners called it, home "play" assignments. Participants are instructed to go back to their hotel rooms and try different exercises, such as having the men give the woman intimate massages, but the women can't return the favor.
"We're all unique," Diane Daffner said. "Our whole body is a unique sexual map and it can change from one day to another."
The group then gathered later in the evening to share their experiences and there were varied results. "It took a little time for me to relax and get comfortable with it," Laurie said. "I thought it was a great experience for me."
Other couples didn't fare so well.
"It brought up a lot of issues and it highlighted the whole reason why we're here," Joanne said. Her husband Dave said he was "rather angry" and "disappointed" during the exercise and didn't understand why it was so one-sided.
"I actually felt a sense of betrayal," he said. "We were honest with each other, but honesty hurts sometimes, and you know, we had to work through it. But I think we've done a great deal together."
On the final morning of the retreat, the couples were given lessons on how to make their new-found fun last after they got home. The Daffners said they hope every couple leaves their retreat reinvigorated as better friends and better lovers.
"I feel, not just hopeful," said Rick, one of the participants. "I feel that we seriously accomplished something here. I mean, huge."

Primary Proms a Great Way to Mark Transition
AS A primary head teacher I feel the need to pass on my views regarding primary proms (Focus, June 21).
Unlike parent Nuala Gormley, who feels that "starting secondary is really just moving in, " I believe that the transition from primary to secondary is an important one and parents shouldn't take it lightly, as my experience has alerted me to the fact that it can be very stressful for some pupils.
To mark it with a prom, ideally outside of school grounds in a luxurious hotel, is a wonderful way to celebrate the past and to reflect on what lies ahead. There are some children who unfortunately do not experience special social events like these, so that in itself is another good enough reason to mark transitions with a prom.
Unlike Marion Roy's school in Barrhead, it is the dedicated staff and pupils in my school who organise the proms, not the parents, and the school holds a prom every year because we simply want to provide a wonderful experience before pupils leave us.
The pupils in my school use their enterprise skills to help raise money for the prom, as we do not live in an affluent area, and donations from other sources make it achievable. The impact of having a prom is immeasurable, as staff, pupils and parents come together to display a real school community celebrating life itself, and it is worth every penny. In an era which exposes children to the horrors of war, terrorism, political and economic unrest and horrendous crimes, I say to all ageing hippies: let your hair down, if you have any, and seize the day! Life is too short!
Thomas Mccormick, Head teacher, Fordbank Primary, Johnstone.

CRUDE: May WTI: $94.45/bbl, down $2.74; May Brent: $107.11/bbl, down $3.58
NYMEX WTI crude futures plunged in response to the weekly supply statistics from the Energy Information Administration (EIA) that revealed a much-greater-than-forecast build in crude stocks, overshadowing a drawdown in refined products.

Reformulated blendstock for oxygen blending (RBOB) gasoline futures for the May prompt month contract fell sharply by 12.68 cents/gal to $2.9140/gal on Wednesday, as government data showed a less-than-expected draw from gasoline inventories.
NATURAL GAS: May: $3.900/MMBtu, down 6.9 cents
The front month on the NYMEX natural gas market fell by 1.7% through Wednesday trading to close at a five-session low, as expectations over falling fuel demand in the coming weeks take hold due to rising temperatures.
ETHANE: lower at 28.50 cents/gal
Ethane spot prices were lower, following weakness in natural gas and other energy commodities.
AROMATICS: mixed xylenes tighter at $3.81-3.83/gal
Mixed xylenes (MX) traded at $3.82/gal during the day, sources said. The deal was within the previous day's range of $3.80-3.90/gal FOB (free on board).

Episode 5

|Charlie Grandy
|Production code

|Guest actors
"Crime Aid" is the fifth episode of the fifth season of the television series The Office, and the show's seventy-seventh episode overall. The episode aired in the United States on October 23, 2008 on NBC.
In this episode, Michael and Holly allow the office to be robbed after having sex in the office twice and forgetting to lock the door, so Michael organizes an auction to raise money. Meanwhile, Dwight insists that Angela make a decision between him and Andy.
Pam (Jenna Fischer) finds that living in New York has become too expensive. Michael (Steve Carell) helps her by getting her a job at the Dunder Mifflin corporate office.
It is revealed that Michael and Holly (Amy Ryan) are dating. One night, the two have sex in the stairwell in the office building and forget to lock the building door. As a result, thieves break in to the building and the Dunder Mifflin office and steal the computers and various other belongings. Realizing the robbery was their fault, Michael and Holly decide to set up an auction in the warehouse to raise money to match the value of items stolen. Jim (John Krasinski) finds a message from the night before on his work phone from an intoxicated Pam, who was out with friends at the time, and Jim jokingly remarks that she is the "future mother of my children".
Michael allows all the staff to auction off any item they choose. Holly decides to auction off a yoga lesson, which Michael is the only one to place a bid for, and Phyllis decides to auction off a hug. Darryl (Craig Robinson) auctions off an opportunity for someone to join him and the rest of the warehouse workers at a bar for beers at that exact moment. Michael tries to make a bid, but Darryl denies his bid, saying it would be a "conflict of interests". Jim makes a bid, which Darryl immediately accepts, and they leave. The auction seems to be a complete failure until CFO David Wallace (Andy Buckley) arrives to help raise money by auctioning off a weekend at his place in Martha's Vineyard.
Meanwhile, Angela (Angela Kinsey) and Andy (Ed Helms) have set a date for their wedding, which upsets Dwight (Rainn Wilson). Phyllis (Phyllis Smith), knowing Dwight's connection with Angela, attempts to console him. She suggests that he give Angela an ultimatum: call off the wedding or lose out on him. Angela ultimately says no to Dwight, so he asks Phyllis for more advice. Phyllis tells him that since she rejected him and his ultimatum that he should move on. Dwight then becomes bitter towards Phyllis, but later realizes she was trying to help, so he shows his appreciation by bidding for her hug auction, which he loses to her husband Bob Vance (Robert R. Shafer). The hug actually sells for $1,000, after Bob outbids Andy, David Wallace and Dwight.
At the bar, Jim encounters Pam's ex Roy (David Denman), who joins him and the warehouse workers for some beers. Jim reveals to Roy that he is engaged to Pam, which Roy congratulates him on, and also mentions that Pam is at art school in New York. He tells Roy about the night before which she spent with friends, to which he responds that he thought Jim was her friend, visibly bothering him. Jim then decides to drive to New York to visit Pam, but just before he gets on I-80 to get to New York, turns around because he is "not that guy and [they're] not that couple".
The most anticipated item at the auction is a pair of front row Bruce Springsteen tickets from Michael, and when it becomes time to open the bid for them, Michael claims he cannot find them and tells everyone that they were stolen in the robbery. At the end of the episode, Michael tells Holly that he lied about the tickets being stolen and about the tickets in general, though Holly already figured he did not have them. They kiss, catching the eye of a visibly displeased David Wallace, who when asked by the camera crew, admits he was unaware that Michael and Holly were romantically involved.
"Crime Aid" was voted the tenth highest-rated episode out of 26 from the fifth season, according to an episode poll at the fansite OfficeTally; the episode was rated 8.35 out of 10.[1] After the initial airing of the show, there was a flood of attempted creations of the Wikipedia entry Office Robbery Statistics, because of Michael's line "It is not known how many office robberies occur every second, because there is no Wikipedia entry for Office Robbery Statistics". Eventually, Office Robbery Statistics was redirected to this page, to prevent further attempted creations.
For his work on this episode, Charlie Grandy was nominated for a Writers Guild of America Award for Best Screenplay – Episodic Comedy.

Bobby's favorite ice-cream flavor is strawberry and he hates chocolate flavor.
One of his brothers' trophies that Bobby was observing was Peter's plaque that he received in the episode "The Hero" from the previous season.
After Peter jumped Bobby's checkers he said "You can't win now, but that wasn't true. Bobby was the one with the better setup. The red one nearest Bobby could be moved one to the right and block the checker that should have been kinged. The four checkers(2 black and 2 red) in a row near Peter, Bobby could moved the middle one. That would be one away from being kinged. Peter would eventually take one. Bobby could have used the king to get the others kinged and/or jump Peter's checkers.
In this episode when Kartoon King tells the kids to call and enter the contest the phone number is 555-6161. In season 5 the episode- Mail Order Hero, Bobby tells Joe Namath to call him at 555-6161. I guess that's their phone number. But wait! In season 2 the episode- The Not So Ugly Duckling, Jan says they are having trouble with their bell and to call their phone. The number was 762-0799.
At the ice cream eating contest, Kartoon King takes away every contestants spoon, including Bobby's. In the next shot of Bobby, you can clearly see his spoon has re-appeared next to his bowl. Then in the next shot, it is gone again.
The Bradys leave for the TV studio in the blue convertible, and return home (unexplained) in the brown station wagon. The goof is detailed in Barry Williams' book, "Growing Up Brady" thusly: When this show originally aired, a sharp-eyed "viewer" called producer Sherwood Schwartz to point out the error and ask for an explanation. He replied, "We blew it!" A few weeks later, those words are emblazoned in a headline in the National Enquirer. The "viewer," it turned out, was a reporter for the nationally-distributed tabloid.
It seems strange that Alice was able to get Cindy to the talent show tryouts in time to help Peter when (1) Mike was already at the school with Peter, (2) Carol was there for Jan's ankle, and (3) Alice doesn't drive.
In this episode Marcia, Peter and Jan were all in junior high school, but they should not have been in junior high school together. Since Marcia started High School 2 years later, Marcia should have been in 7th grade. Since Peter would have started high school 2 years after Marcia according to the last episode of the series and Jan was 3 years younger than Marcia according to Season 3 episode "My Sister's Shadow" Peter and Jan should have been in 4th and 5th grade in this episode.
The people who played the judges at the school auditorium were actually Florence Henderson and Barry Williams' stand-ins.
When Cindy shows up at the school auditorium to help Peter with the show, Alice comments to Mike "I took the wings off the Fairy Princess costume". But this costume she wore only the season before had a long skirt on it, etc. and was different.
At school where the news is filmed, when the reporter asks Marcia if she has any brothers, she replies, "Yes, sir. Three." But when it's broadcasted on TV later, Marcia's reply is, "Yes, sir. I have three." Those weren't the exact words as we heard earlier.
The senior girl Greg hits on in this episode is actress Julie Cobb, daughter of famous actor Lee J. Cobb. Generally a "bit" actress, she went on to regular roles in "The D.A." and "Charles in Charge". She was also married to two famous actors: Victor French, of "Little House on the Prairie" and "Highway to Heaven" fame, and James Cromwell, who played Archie Bunker's friend Stretch Cunningham on "All in the Family", and was later an Academy Award nominee for "L.A. Confidential". Cole and Cromwell seperated in 2006.
In this episode Carol suggests that Greg could use the attic as a bedroom. Mike says "that would be great if Greg were two and a half feet tall." In the episode "A Room At The Top" Greg moves into the attic, which is much bigger.
Apparently Mike and Carol changed the kid's doctors.
While talking on the phone with Mike, Carol talks low but her voice sounds clear. She just had surgery on her tonsils, shouldn't her voice sound raspy?
In The Not So Ugly Duckling, the Brady's phone number is disclosed as 762-0799. But when Mike calls Carol on a dial phone, the next-to-last number is dialed from somewhere near the middle (4, 5 or 6) of the phone dial.
In this episode we find out that Bobby had a awful singing voice but he was later included in the Brady Kids singing group the Brady Six
When Jan first puts on the wig in the bathroom, you can see some of Jan's hair. Then when Marcia and Cindy come into the bathroom the wig is on perfect. You don't see any of Jan's hair.
The pack of cigarettes that falls out of Greg's jacket pocket was labeled "Valiant Tobacco," which is also the name of the fictitious tobacco company at the center of a 1971, Norman Lear-directed movie, Cold Turkey.
Barry Williams was a smoker in real life. He started when he was 12, smoked all the way to the show, but quit smoking in 1984.

Warm up remaining caramel and trickle it over them, pulling the caramel into strands like spun sugar.
Spread the cream over the other cookies, cover with sliced peaches and pile the layers on top of each other with the decorated cookie on top.
Fresh raspberries make an excellent alternative.

After going winless in September, the New Orleans Saints have clawed back to within one victory of a .500 record, and what looked like a lost season without suspended coach Sean Payton has turned into something with more promise. If the Saints win at struggling Oakland on Sunday, they will be 5-5 and one game out of the final wild card spot in the NFC. A huge 31-27 win against previously unbeaten Atlanta has left them in position to at least make a run at the playoffs. ''It was such a hole, and now that we're starting to dig our way out of it, we're starting to see some light,'' Saints cornerback Jabari Greer said. ''When we were 0-4, it was doomsday. Nobody believed that we had what it took to be a good team. Everybody had written us off.'' Greer's performance against the Falcons symbolized the arc of the season for the Saints. Burned earlier for two big gains by Atlanta's receivers, he dove in the end zone to break up a fourth-and-goal pass to Roddy White in the final two minut...

Football: Wenger bemoans Arsenal's pre-season tour schedule
Published on Jul 25, 2014 7:08 AM
NEW YORK (REUTERS) - Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has echoed the sentiments of new Manchester United boss Louis van Gaal in criticising the demands of their pre-season tour.
Wenger said it was "impossible" to prepare his squad properly for the upcoming Premier League campaign, which begins on August 16, given the demands of their pre-season schedule and players returning later than normal after World Cup duty.
Arsenal are in the United States for a friendly against Major league Soccer (MLS) franchise New York Red Bulls, before heading to Austria for a training camp and then returning to London for the Emirates Cup. "These training camps in the modern game are decided for commercial reasons and because of the extent of popularity of the club," the Frenchman told a news conference on Thursday. "We've never been to the States before and I was very happy to come to New York - a city I love. "But for purely football reasons, the best thing to do is stay and not travel too much because of the time you waste and the jet-lag you suffer is not ideal." Arsenal are without a host of internationals following the World Cup and Wenger highlighted the difficulty in players beginning the intense domestic campaign so soon after returning from the tournament. "This season is a post-World Cup year and very difficult because the time is very short between the final, which was on July 13, and the start of the new season on August 16. "And compulsory, from Fifa, you are obliged to give four weeks' holiday to the players, so I don't know how all that works together. It looks, to me, impossible." Wenger's comments came days after Van Gaal said Manchester United's pre-season tour was wrongly being dictated by the club's commercial interests.
United beat Los Angeles Galaxy 7-0 on Wednesday, and now face games in Denver, Washington and Detroit.

INDIAN WELLS, Calif. — The New York Mets and Jason Bay have agreed to terminate their contract a year early and make the outfielder a free agent.
The 34-year-old Bay was a major disappointment in New York after signing a $65 million, four-year deal. The former All-Star hit .234 in three seasons with 26 homers and 124 RBIs, including a .165 average with eight homers and 20 RBIs this year.
Mets general manager Sandy Alderson says the results weren't there and we are in a results-oriented business.
INDIAN WELLS, Calif. — Baseball is considering a broader expansion of video review for umpires than first discussed.
Instant replay in baseball began in August 2008 and has been limited to checking whether potential home runs were fair or cleared over fences. Major League Baseball Commissioner Bud Selig has been saying since early 2011 he wants to expand it to two additional types of calls.
He was talking about really basically fair-foul, trap plays. But we're looking into more than that, Joe Torre, MLB's executive vice president for baseball operations, said Wednesday at the general managers' meetings. MLB experimented with the Hawk-Eye animation system and the TrackMan radar software during tests late this year at Yankee Stadium and Citi Field.
At their first meeting since a pair of pitchers were hit on the head by line drives, baseball general managers discussed ways to protect hurlers from injuries in the future.
Major League Baseball staff have said a cap liner with Kevlar, the high-impact material used by military, law enforcement and NFL players for body armor, is among the ideas under consideration.
If we settle on something that is going to make sense, and obviously the pitcher has to be comfortable with it, we'll obviously put that in as soon as possible, MLB executive vice president Joe Torre said Wednesday.
Major League Baseball is considering a change to its longtime rule allowing active rosters to expand from 25 to 40 from Sept. 1 through the rest of the regular season.
MLB executive vice president for baseball operations Joe Torre said general managers discussed the matter Wednesday on the opening day of their annual meeting.
Some teams have been reluctant to use the larger limit late in the season. They have cited not wanting to disrupt minor league teams in their playoffs, and those decisions have led to big league games in which teams have differing numbers of available players.
Each team should have equal number of players available every day, Torre said. I just think you play the whole season with one set of rules and the most important time of the year, especially for clubs that are in a pennant race, I just don't think it's fair for it to be done (with a) different number of roster people.
Torre said one possibility would be setting a fixed number of players who must be on the active roster for September games.
NEW YORK — Triple Crown winner Miguel Cabrera is one of five finalists for the AL MVP award in voting by the Baseball Writers Association of America.
The Detroit third baseman is joined by Texas' Adrian Beltre and Josh Hamilton, the New York Yankees' Robinson Cano, and Los Angeles Angels rookie Mike Trout, who also is one of three nominees for AL Rookie of the Year.
For the first time Wednesday, the BBWAA announced finalists for its awards. The winners will be revealed next week live on the MLB Network, beginning Monday with the two rookies of the year and concluding Thursday with the MVPs.
Milwaukee's Ryan Braun has a chance for a repeat as NL MVP. He's pitted against San Diego's Chase Headley, Pittsburgh's Andrew McCutchen, St. Louis' Yadier Molina and San Francisco's Buster Posey.
Mets knuckleballer R.A. Dickey is among the three finalists for the NL Cy Young Award. Washington's Gio Gonzalez and 2011 winner Clayton Kershaw of the Dodgers are also competing.
Detroit's reigning AL MVP and Cy Young winner Justin Verlander has another shot for top pitcher in the AL. Tampa Bay's David Price and the Angels' Jered Weaver are the other two finalists. The winner in each league will be picked Wednesday.
Trout is competing with two foreign-born stars Cuban outfielder Yoenis Cespedes of the Athletics and Japanese pitcher Yu Darvish of the Rangers for Rookie of the Year in the AL.
Washington's Bryce Harper, Cincinnati's Todd Frazier and Arizona's Wade Miley are the nominees in the NL.
Of the six finalists for Manager of the Year, only White Sox rookie skipper Robin Ventura is not a previous winner. He was nominated along with Bob Melvin (2007) and Buck Showalter (1994, 2004) in the AL.
In the NL, the Reds' Dusty Baker (1993, 1997, 2000), World Series champion Giants Bruce Bochy (1996) and Washington's Davey Johnson (1997) got the nod.

Can oil restore Libya's fortunes: Libya's new rulers struggle to rebuild an oil industry battered by the civil war that ended Muammar Gaddafi's 32-year rule, but the threat of further violence could sabotage these efforts and with them any prospect of an early national recovery.
Libya, finally unshackled from Colonel Muammar Gaddafi's brutal regime, is struggling to restore its battered oil industry after more than 40 years of decline and an eight-month civil war. Some fields, refineries and terminals were extensively damaged in the conflict that seesawed across the battle-scarred deserts of Tripolitania and Cyrenaica.
Getting production back, even to the pre-war level of 1.6 million barrels per day, is essential if stability is to be restored. Libya relies on oil revenue for about 80% of its gross domestic product.
But the tangled tribal politics at play and the fragmentation of the rebel groups that make up the victorious National Transitional Council (NTC), a fractious alliance of militias with widely differing, and often opposing, agendas, is causing fears that the shooting is not yet over.
As the NTC forces splinter into squabbling ideological, ethnic and tribal factions, the prospect of a new wave of violence, or even another civil war between the rival militia victors, looms ominously.
There are disturbing signs of deep divisions within the NTC, even between factions that came together to get rid of Gaddafi. Tribal rivalries remain deep rooted and have been exacerbated by the recent bloodshed.
There is a deep divide between Tripoli in the west, where Gaddafi ruled with an iron hand, and Benghazi in the east, long an Islamist stronghold that seethed with anti-Gaddafi militancy throughout his rule.
A growing bitterness is apparent in the western and central sectors of the country against the NTC, where rebel militias have wreaked bloody retribution in areas that supported Gaddafi.
The biggest hurdle is one of unity now that the common goal of overthrowing Gaddafi has been achieved and the fighting has stopped, analysts agree.
Many armed groups feel they deserve a reward for their sacrifices during the war, and the NTC is not a strong enough single authority to bring them all to bear. It must now struggle to satisfy everyone. At stake is not just political power but also the anticipated oil revenues that will come to those able to establish a presence in the centralised power structure.
Eastern bounty
On top of that, the country remains awash with weapons, many plundered by various groups from Gaddafi's richly stocked arsenals around the country.
There is also a significant risk that remnants of Gaddafi's forces could wage a guerrilla campaign of sabotage against the oil industry and other vital economic sectors and even limited violence could impede the recovery of the oil industry, including scaring off foreign companies vital to the industry in terms of expertise and future investment because of security concerns.
Assessments on how soon the Libyans can get the oil industry up and running again vary wildly. Ross Cassidy, North Africa specialist with the Edinburgh-based Wood Mackenzie consultancy, reckons it will take three years to get back to 1.6 million b/d because of the technical and security challenges.
"They're not going to just turn production back on," he said. "Thirty-six months is an optimistic scenario."
Industry sources say that since August, when NTC forces captured the capital Tripoli in August and drove Gaddafi into the desert, the new government has pushed oil production up to 300,0oo-40o,0o0 barrels a day (b/d).
Nuri Berruien, NOC's new chairman, boasted that flows could reach the pre-war level "in 15 months." But that now seems to be highly optimistic.
Berruien says production is currently around 390,000 b/d, about one quarter of the pre-war level.
The Paris-based International Energy Agency reckons Libya could be producing 1.1 million b/d by the end of 2012, underlining the prospect of a long haul.
"From now on, every extra 100,000 barrels will be more difficult, costly and time-consuming to bring back," observed John Hamilton, lead author of African Energy's annual Libya's Energy Future report.
Hamilton stressed that a "huge amount of investment"--the French estimate at least $30 billion--"is required to recapitalise the oil fields, many of which have been looted over the past six months."
Libya has Africa's largest proven oil reserves, totalling some 46.4 billion barrels, the eighth largest in the world, concentrated mostly in the east.
Legal obstacles
But much of the country remains unexplored because of international sanctions imposed on Gaddafi's regime over the years for his support for international terrorism, or because of constant disagreements with major oil companies.
There has also been no significant deep-water drilling in the Gulf of Sirte, where there are supposedly rich pickings that could hugely boost Libyan reserves and ensure revenue into the next century.
BP suspended plans for a Sa billion exploration pro gramme in December 2010, but said it would start "sometime in 2011". Then came the civil war.
At pre-war production levels, Libya's current reserves were expected to last for 77-80 years. With Gaddafi and his corrupt regime gone, there are expectations that the new administration, whatever that might eventually be, would be more transparent and prepared to open up the industry.
International oil companies are falling over themselves to make deals with the new Libyan administration, but legal issues over old contracts and terms for new contracts have delayed things.
Britain and France, along with Italy and Russia, are hoping to get special treatment for mobilising NATO to back the Libyan rebels against Gaddafi, a key factor in their victory.
The NOC's urgent need for investment to rehabilitate and expand the oil industry will likely weigh heavily in their favour as Big Oil scrambles, and intrigues, for stakes in Libya's oil wealth.
Tripoli has denied the existence of a secret deal the French media reported had been struck in April, agreeing that French companies would control "35% of total crude oil in exchange for total and permanent support for our council".
Meanwhile, Italy's Eni is emerging as the pace setter. It has been in Libya since 1959, a decade before Gaddafi seized power, and remains the country's largest foreign investor.
Before the war, it had committed to invest $25 billion over the next decade. It was also the first to resume production after Gaddafi fell, so would appear to be the company to watch. Russia enjoys a close relationship with Eni, so its companies, including the giant Gazprom, also stand to benefit.
Rome-based Eni confirmed it had resumed production on 26 September, the first foreign company to do so. It said it was pumping 31,900 b/d from 15 wells in the large Abu Attifel field, discovered in the 1960s.
The maximum pre-war production capacity in the region, which lies 200 miles south of Benghazi, was 70,000 b/d. Eni chief executive Paolo Scaroni has said the company expects to have most of its production going again by the end of the year.
Total of France has also reported restoring production at its Al Jurf offshore well and is expected to slowly reach 40,000 b/d, the pre-war level.
Much will depend on the condition of the large Sharara and Elephant oil fields deep in the Sahara Desert 600 miles south of Tripoli, the capital on the Mediterranean coast.
These fields, operated by Repsol of Spain and Italy's Eni, could add another 400,000 b/d to national production, if they can be put on stream without too much trouble.
But their condition after months of fighting remains unclear. The Murzug region where they are located saw heavy fighting between Gaddafi's forces and rebel troops of the NTC, so damage could be extensive. The central area and the Murzug region will truly test the recovery of Libya's oil industry.
Regaining ground
The Libyans are pumping oil from a few eastern fields operated by the state-owned Arabian Gulf Oil Company, although the production level isn't clear.
These fields include Sarir, Libya's largest, and Mesla. Together, they produced zso,000 b/d before the war. The rebels held the region during the war and damage was therefore minimal.
The Sirte Basin, a key oil zone containing some of the most mature fields that currently produce around 60% of Libya's oil, appears to be relatively stable for now. Even so, these fields are more complex than those in the western zone and could require gas or water injection to create the pressure levels needed for full production.
Henry Smith of London-based security consultancy Control Risks observes that one of the main hot-spot zones in terms of security is the Fezzan region in the southwestern Sahara.
It contains Eni's Elephant field and Repsol's Sharara with a combined capacity of 330,000 b/d, about one fifth of Libya's pre-conflict output.
The region was held by Gaddafi's loyalists until September and Smith assessed the fields were soft targets, difficult to protect against marauding Gaddafi loyalists striking from the desert wastes.
"The most significant security threats to oil assets are in the Ubari sand sea, broadly between Ghadames, Sabha and Ghat," he noted. "It's not secure and anyone who's been there will tell you it will remain difficult to police, particularly given the lack of a central security force."
Libya's oil industry was in bad shape even before the uprising against Gaddafi erupted in February.
When Gaddafi led a bloodless military coup that toppled King Idris I of the Senussi dynasty on 1 September 1969, Libya produced around 3 million b/d, almost double the total at the start of this year's conflict.
But under his quirky and murderous regime, production steadily fell over the years due to neglect, poor maintenance and international sanctions that cut off badly needed foreign investment and modern technology.
When George W. Bush invaded Iraq in March 2003 to save the world from nuclear and chemical weapons Saddam Hussein did not possess, the US Neoconservatives' plan was to use that country's oil production to pay for its reconstruction.
But instead, Iraq's oil industry came under sustained attack, often with the complicity corrupt officials and tribal chiefs and Washington had to pick up the bill.
It took eight years to restore Iraqi production to just to pre-2003 levels. And even now, Iraq is only producing, thanks to international oil companies and their advanced technology, some 2.7 million b/d.
That's 20% below the output when Saddam seized power in 1979.
Iran, Iraq's age-old enemy, went through an even worse time after Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi was overthrown by the Islamic revolution in January 1979. Oil production slumped from 6 million b/d to 1 million b/d.
Today, 32 years on, the Islamic Republic can still only manage an output of around 4 million b/d.
In actual production terms, Libya does not appear to be particularly vital in the global energy order, with a mere 2% of world output. But Libyan oil is a high-quality "sweet" crude that needs little refining because of its low sulphur content and is thus highly prized by Western consumers.
Libya accounts for 10-15% of the global demand for this kind of oil. The country's proximity to its main market, Europe, means lower transportation costs, adding to the value of its oil exports. It also has extremely low production costs, as little as $1 a barrel, which makes it an attractive option.
"Libya has for years punched below its potential, hampered by a lack of investment as its leader diverted funds for other causes and his personal use," according to Javier Bias, the Financial Times energy expert.
A decade of international sanctions stemming from terrorism blamed on Gaddafi's regime crippled Libya's oil industry.
"But executives and officials believe the country ... could produce much more oil in the next two decades if the new ruling class pursues the right policies," Bias observed.
Libya will be able to produce up to 550,000 barrels of oil a day by the end of 2011, according to Shokri Ghanem, the country's former oil minister and head of its National Oil Company. By June, that figure could rise to about a million b/d, he told The Middle Easton the sidelines of the annual Oil & Money conference in London.
"There are certain facilities, i.e. offshore, that could come into production more easily," Ghanem said. "Wafa Gas has started producing, the easy production has ... come back."
But," he cautioned, "the picture is still unclear." Libya could require up to two years to reach its pre-war production level of about 1.6 million b/d, he suggested.
Security issues were paramount, Ghanem insisted, if the damage to fields, pipelines and terminals was to be repaired and the foreign staff of the international companies operating in the country--such as Italy's ENI, Total of France and Repsol of Spain--were to return in sufficient numbers. "Most of the companies did not yet send their expatriates in. Maybe some of them are starting to work, but most of them have not started to maintain and repair the damage." "A lot of money" was also needed to rebuild camps for the contractors and workers, replace looted spare parts and four-wheel-drive cars.
Although some industry sources have suggested that the international oil companies may seek to renegotiate their contracts to improve their earnings and to cover the added costs, Ghanem doubts that this will happen. The NOC, he said, "has followed a policy in the past few years of open bidding, which is completely transparent. Of course, [this] gave the company good conditions and good terms, and I think it will be difficult for any new government to change this policy."
A reorganisation of the oil and gas sector was also likely, he indicated, especially given current "staff unrest" in the NOC. "There is talk," he explained, "that the national company will be divided into three others." There were also a lot of "unknown factors" about what would happen in the Ministry of Oil. That meant, Ghanem concluded, that although Libya was on course to improve output dramatically over the coming months, "after reaching 700,000 b/d it will be a big challenge".

I'm a recent NYC transplant from Austin Texas and enjoying getting to know my new home. My interests are varied – and include current events, exploring the city and meeting new people. Music is a big part of my life, as exemplified by my CD collection, which includes everything from Frank Sinatra to 50 Cent, but I have a deep affection for a number of obscure college bands (e.g. Ocean Blue and Trashcan Sinatras). Also, I love how much the city has to offer in the way of theater, art, etc., and take advantage of these opportunities regularly. Culture and diversity are important to me as well and I enjoy connecting with citizens of the world through various cultural outlets and groups. I have a great sense of humor and am often the one that will "go there" for a joke – so long as it's not mean-spirited (please feel free to ask me what "going there" means…it's a fine art). I care deeply about making a difference in the world (even if it's a small corner of it), challenging convention and being a dependable, thoughtful and motivational friend/companion. I am fiercely loyal to those I care about. As for my Match: I love a quick wit, nice smile, great sense of humor and an easy-going manner. I don't mind if you're someone who's a bit work-focused, as long as you make time for personal and social relationships, and can fully engage when you're off the clock. I appreciate men who pay attention to the "little things." Please drop me a line if you're kind, funny, genuine, a good kisser, intellectually curious and looking for a woman who cares less about what you do than who you are.

The trail begins near a conveniently placed ice-cream stand, at the Johnston Canyon restaurant. After your obligatory ice-cream stop, you can make your way along the paved walkway for the 1.1km, through the winding canyon to the lower falls. Here you can take those fun family snaps as you pass through a short cave to get up-close to the waterfall. Kids love the refreshing spray from the falls and you will too!
If you're feeling particularly adventurous, continue another 2.7km to the Upper Falls. This terrain is still listed as 'Easy' but the elevation gain increases as you make your way to view the canyon from above. However, the end result of the Upper Falls is well worth the hike!
Enjoy all the FREE and family friendly activities Banff has to offer on the doorstep of your hotel in Banff.
