Stories from people who were children during World War II and the objects in this exhibit animate the past and inform us of a time when war took over daily life. "Retrospect is a very interesting thing," says Ruthie Kallnder. "At the time I don't recall any of the information we got as being propaganda," but the government tried to influence children to make "necessary" sacrifices. Propagandists made the war a battle between good and evil, democracy and fascism. They also asked children to share in the war effort. In response, many children took on more responsibilities. Ruthie explains that boys and girls felt "if that's what it was going to take" to win they "were willing to do it." The memories of the people in this exhibit and their wartime actions show the power of propaganda's messages and its lasting affect on their lives. Propaganda posters, children's books, and classroom assignments demonstrate how propagandists reached children and involved them in the national war effort.

I never remember stating I support those decisions. I think Joe Quesadilla ruined spider-man all because he was not happy in his marriage so he felt no one could be. AVengers VS. Xmen I have complained about many times. Wolverine getting his own school ...I don't 100% HATE I think its SEMI interesting the way we have Cyclops leaning towards becoming more like Magneto and Wolverine leaning towards becoming more like Xavier. I don't think I would rage if they became enemies in the way Magneto and Charles did. But I don't fully support it either. I think were are disagreement comes from is I am viewing "Marvel recently" as the last few years where your "marvel recently" seems to be far closer. I just think they had some really good new ideas that they were using for awhile such as the Runaways. I do agree though that they should bring back an idea they had many moons ago it was called like Marvel next or something where they brought out a few titles for one or two issues featuring new teams or characters and saw what people liked and what sold. I think last time they did it they had a team of cyborgs. I really enjoyed that book and hoped to see more but nothing ever came
Therapist, now that it seems that we are kind of on the same page I now get what you are telling me...You are right to say that I am viewing this a little closer....I am mostly focusing on what is current( except Ultimate Universe, I just hated everything about it from the get go, except ultimates 3 because of joe mad).
I also agree that "before watchmen" is another cop-out way to grab another buck from the media...as far as Earth-2 is concerned, I thought that was just a rumor...but if it is true and they re-introduce Earth-2 then the possibility of you getting your fave characters Ted Kord and Kassandra Kane is increased. Nevertheless I think that Earth-2 has,is and will always be stupid. So heres hoping that Earth 2 is a rumor.
As for raging that Cyclops and Wolverine will be like Mags and Chuck....well Im more angry of the fact that its just predictable... and no matter how hard they try to cover it up by saying Wolverine just somehow developed this moral perspective that young x-men should only be in school is just garbage. Im sure by now everyone who has read schism has realized that the real reason behind the "Mutant Race" splitting up was Jean. How does this not make any self respecting comic reader not mad?
As for introducing New Marvel teams, I agree with what leafman said about kind of mixing it up with the old and established characters... I was just hoping for character creation like they did in the late 80's early 90's like Gambit, Psylocke, Havoc, Sunspot and pretty much the old New Mutants
your right there sales are doing good Justin Beiber is out selling the beatles well I guess he must be better then.
I believe that old jade jaw does have a point about Aquaman beating every ongoing Marvel title out there.. It cant be compared to bieber and the beatles... I mean thats just 2 entities(bieber and beatles) from 2 different eras...you have to factor in inflation and the sheer amount of human beings present 50 years ago. Aquaman (and in pretty sure most fan boys can agree with me here) is just a lame character...but DC did manage to find a way to make him look cool enough to outsell "current" Marvel titles.

No neophyte to the world of desirable Vettes, Joseph Raia has kept a Corvette in his garage since 1960 when he was first courting the girl who would later become his wife. in fact, said Corvette was the inspiration for the purchase of this featured vehicle. The elusive '59 was followed by a sequence of rare, unique, and characteristically "Josephized" Chevrolets; the array of machines included a numbers-correct '67 427 coupe punched out to 496 cubes and a split-window fuelie. His eight-car home garage contains a fabrication shop with enough equipment to deconstruct and rebuild projects at his leisure.
While attending Orlando's '00 NCRS regional meet and auction, Joseph's wife spotted this black-and-red drop-top as it cornered the bidding line. The previous owner was upside down in the car after putting over $100,000 into the '59's restoration. The car had been bounced from one specialty shop to another for years, with the bills accruing to the point of near nausea, forcing the owner to rid himself of the roadster. Joseph's wife recognized the '59 as a near identical clone of their first Corvette and coaxed her husband into purchasing the six-figure convertible for her.
Of course, the elation wasn't totally one sided; Joseph's excitement for a new acquisition was evident as he repeatedly jumped to his feet thrashing the air with both arms during the bidding. his enthusiasm paid off as the keys and pink slip were handed over after the fall of the gavel.
Heading back north to their Franklin Lakes, New Jersey, home, Joseph realized just how truly anemic the factory 270-horse plant was. Composing an ethereal checklist in his mind, replacing the feeble 283 with a big-cube combination crept to the top of Joseph's inventory.
Sometimes ignorance is bliss, and Joseph's radical '59 roadster exemplifies this philosophy. He knew the Corvette was immaculately restored, but most of the labor was hidden until he began tearing into the machine. With the cost of a modest home invested in the rebuild, Joseph smiled when he saw how meticulously the Corvette had been returned to its factory-built glory. Immense care was taken to protect the car while the small-block was extracted. In lieu of rebuilding the 283 into a stroked, hi-revving version of its once former self, Joseph adhered to the timeless hot-rodder credo: Go big or go home.
With that in mind, a limited-edition World Products Motown 454 was ordered. The race-prepped blocks are completely reconfigured castings with expanded water jackets, extra-thick cylinder walls for extra overbore, and larger oiling journals.
What distinguishes this 454 from any other is this 454 is a small-block. Dyno proven at 600 ponies matched with 605 lb-ft of torque, the Motown-made iron block is topped with the brand's own aluminum heads filled with Manley valves and rockers and Hardcore springs. The 9.8:1 compression crate engine was finished with a MSD distributor, coil, and box, and topped with dual 500-cfm Edelbrock carburetors on a dual-quad intake from the same manufacturer.

Planned Giving
Bequests are known as revocable planned gifts, in that they can be updated and changed. Because the gift has yet to occur, there is no charitable income tax deduction. However, your estate receives a charitable deduction, thereby lowering the total amount that may become subject to federal and possibly state estate taxes.
Another revocable planned gift is a Designation Upon Death, which enables a donor to pass on life insurance, and retirement, brokerage and banking accounts and other assets through a beneficiary form. Like bequests, you can name a charity as a 100 percent or partial beneficiary. These provisions are also revocable, and are only deductible as a charitable gift from your estate. Designations upon death are also separate from your will and not part of probate, so distributions are made much sooner to the beneficiaries.

In March 17, 2008, New York Lt. Gov. David Paterson was sworn in to become first African-American governor of New York. Thrust into power after Eliot Spitzer's prostitution scandal forced him to resign, Paterson, whose term has also been laced with personal scandal, continues to struggle to win over the Democratic Party and the citizens of New York. Paterson is pictured here with his wife, Michelle Paige Paterson, at the state Capitol building in Albany, N.Y.

In 2001, Condoleezza Rice was asked to serve as national security adviser to President George W. Bush. As the first black American in this position, Rice's role in shaping foreign policy became increasingly important, most notably after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks. Four years later, upon the resignation of Colin Powell, Rice became secretary of state. She was the first African-American woman, second African-American -- after Powell -- and second woman after Madeleine Albright, to serve in the critical post. Here, then National Security Adviser Rice conducts a background briefing on the upcoming visit of British Prime Minister Tony Blair Feb. 22, 2001, at the White House in Washington.

Democrat Carol Moseley Braun of Illinois in 1992 became the first African-American woman elected to the U.S. Senate. "I cannot escape the fact that I come to the Senate as a symbol of hope and change," Moseley-Braun said shortly after she was sworn in in 1993. Pictured here, Braun declares her victory Nov. 3, 1992, in Chicago. She was not re-elected in 1998. While Braun was the first black woman elected to the Senate, in 1966 Republican Edward Brooke of Massachusetts became the first African-American to be elected to the Senate by popular vote.

In 1989, General Colin Powell was nominated by President George H.W. Bush as chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, becoming the first African-American to attain the highest military ranking in the U.S. Armed Forces.

Shirley Chisholm was the first American-American woman elected to Congress, where she represented New York's 12th congressional district from 1969 to 1983. On Jan. 25, 1972, Chisholm announced her candidacy for the Democratic presidential nomination at the Concord Baptist Church in Brooklyn, N.Y. Manhattan Borough President Percy Sutton applauds at right. While she did not succeed in winning the nomination, she did receive 152 delegate votes at the Democratic National Convention in 1972, an impressive count given her modest fundraising total.

Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall receives some help from wife, Cecilia Marshall, at his swearing-in on Oct. 2, 1967. Formerly an NAACP attorney, Marshall became the first black justice to sit on the Supreme Court. While Marshall had an extensive legacy on the high court, perhaps his most significant victory came before he was a judge, successfully arguing to end the legal separation of black and white children in the public school system in the landmark case Brown vs. Board of Education in 1954. This ruling later sparked the 1960s civil rights movement and had a profound effect on race relations in America.

Globular Jar
Porcelains in the Ming Jiajing era were dec;orated with a variety of techniques, the most dramatic of which is the combination of underglaze cobalt-blue and overglaze polychrome enamels, called wucai, or "five colors." Wucai porcelains can of course have more or fewer than literally five colors, but the aim is for a brilliant, dramatic effect. The fish design on this Jar forms a kind of pun. The word for "fish ," yu, sounds the same as the word meaning "surplus" or "excess." Jin means "gold," and jinyu, or "goldfish," can become a pun on the phrase "surplus of gold."

Gorm succeeded his father as king and married Thyra , the daughter of the Jutish chieftain Harald klak. When Harald died, Gorm took his kingdom too and united Denmark.
Ragnarssona þáttr and Heimskringla relate that a berserker from Hadeland named Haki killed Sigurd Hart, but lost a hand in the fight. Then Haki went to Sigurd Hart's residence at Stein and took Sigurd's children Ragnhild and Guttorm. Haki returned with the children and all the loot to Hadeland. Before Haki recuperated from his wounds and could marry the 15 year old Ragnhild, she was captured a second time, by Halfdan the Black. Halfdan and Ragnhild were the parents of Harald Fairhair.
In the popular Japanese anime/manga Fullmetal Alchemist (Hagane no Renkinjutsushi), one of the seven homunculi (each named for the seven deadly sins in the Christian religion), Wrath (in the manga) or Pride (in the anime) also known as President Fureur King Bradley, wears an eyepatch covering his left eye which is revealed to show no pupil or iris, only the symbol of the ouroborous. Possibly a reference to Sigurd.
The 1998 Playstation game "Xenogears" portrayed a man part of the Royal Family of Nisan named Sigurd who donned a Black eye patch.

Nice pictures... your team looked very organized. White binders. White organizer table for parts.
One question: In some of the pictures it looks like the lighting was somewhat low for the tables... this may just have been the camera. I'm just curious if your team used the Light sensor at all and if lighting was an issue.
- Dec 9, 2006, 1:19:00 AM
Thanks! yeah, we took a bit of mocking over our "furniture" from the MC, but my team had all our attachments lined up and organized. The light was pretty consistant, and seemed normal.
Actualy, while our robot was equipped with a light sensor we eventually abandoned any use of it. On our table it was proving unpredictable and we didn't want to move on to competition with that hanging over our heads.

Congrats Tom. Did you drive from Lompac to Lego Land San Diego?
Our teams had a similar commute from Northern to Southern Virginia.
The competetion kind of wipes you out esp. when there is a long drive home in front of you.
- Dec 9, 2006, 6:49:00 AM
Thanks. Yes, we drove down to SD the night before. It can be a grueling drive but we were lucky and made it in 4 hours. Our total entourage was 21 people! My family stayed 2 nights so we could enjoy the park on Sunday. it was a great trip.

CU: Home • A to Z • Campus Map
After a 47-year journey as steward of CU-Boulder's Glenn Miller Archive (GMA) at the American Music Research Center, Alan Cass will retire as curator on July 1.
Coming up in the CU-Boulder's ATLAS Black Box Theater is square product theatre's production of "SLAB," an adaptation of Denver writer Selah Saterstrom's forthcoming novel. The story is about a woman's life in the American South told through her memories and from the slab of her post-Katrina home.
The 56th annual season of the Colorado Shakespeare Festival will feature a classic lineup — a comedy, a tragedy, a history — alongside a hilarious Shakespeare sendup and a return engagement of an Off-Broadway hit.
But if anything, expect the unexpected, as two veterans and two of CSF's favorite comic actors take the helm and offer their own visions, from the exotic to the traditional.
Interdisciplinary discovery doesn't always happen in the lab. Sometimes it integrates technology and musicians in an ensemble setting to provide live interaction, as in the case of the Boulder Laptop Orchestra (BLOrk).
After computer science doctoral student Charles Dietrich and Associate Professor John Gunther of the College of Music met at a campus STEM poster presentation in the fall of 2012, the encounter led to new artistic collaboration through the College of Music's BLOrk ensemble.
Jeannie and Jack Thompson have made an unprecedented commitment to the Jazz Studies program at the University of Colorado Boulder -- building $1.6 million in combined gifts to trigger a new $2 million program endowment.
To honor and recognize this transformational gift, the program will be renamed the Thompson Jazz Studies Program, as announced at yesterday's annual Spring Swing big band concert. It is CU-Boulder's first named program.
The University of Colorado Boulder will host Buff Essentials Week, an annual event held to support freshmen in acclimating to college life, Oct. 1-6.
First-year students in the College of Arts and Sciences are required to attend at least three events before registering for spring semester classes in November. Students can choose sessions related to academic advising, research opportunities, nutrition, career counseling, note taking, study abroad and others. All students, staff and faculty are invited to participate in the events.
University of Colorado Boulder Provost Russell L. Moore today announced the formation of a search committee to lead a national search for a new dean of the College of Music. Jim Williams, dean of the Libraries, will chair the committee.
Dan Sher, who announced his resignation in August, will complete his 20th year as dean of the College of Music in June 2013 and then return to teaching in the college.
Every gift matters, no matter the size.
What kind of Buff will you be?
Be in the know. Know what to do.

"I typed nxt on Google and your website came up right after Lego website. I thought you'd like to know."
Thanks, Simon - we've got a good team here that keeps the blog updated, and our readers are helping now, too. I had to actually try it (see image) but you're right... it's very cool to come in right after LEGO. Now if we can just find a way to move up to the #1 position! Hmmm... :)

I totally agree with Brian. There are more imprtant things than to be #1 hit in a search engine (and, besides, there are ethical aspects to consider when it comes to Search Engine Optimization).
In Germany, THE NXT STEP comes on 10th place when googling for "nxt" (which is quite qood for a english-speaking page). After all, my own web site on NXT is fourth. Not that I care about it (of course I do!)... ;)

Grant Holt: I will always be that fat kid from Cumbria
Last updated at 20:22, Thursday, 23 February 2012
Grant Holt's goal-scoring exploits have lit up the Premier League – but don't accuse the former tyre-fitter of being an ego-driven superstar.
"I will always be that fat kid from Cumbria," insists the man currently outscoring £85 million pair Fernando Torres and Andy Carroll put together.
In a world dictated by flashy cars and the latest celebrity fad, the 30-year-old marksman is proud of his humble beginnings.
Starting out as a £50-per-game apprentice in the North West Counties League with Workington Reds, Holt's rags to riches story would challenge the word count of War and Peace.
Now, Norwich City's £450,000 bargain-busting talisman stands shoulder to shoulder with some of the game's greatest.
The boy from Carlisle refuses to believe his own hype, despite outscoring Luis Suarez, Rafael van der Vaart and last year's golden boot winner Dimitar Berbatov.
Remaining grounded, Holt modestly says: "Those stats sound great.
"To be mentioned in the same breath as players like of that ilk shows how far I've come.
"There is more to come though. I am in the best shape of my life – I have lost a stone and a half and I feel great."
Life wasn't always so rosy for Holt, whose career began as a 17-year-old fresh out of school.
A defender by trade, he was forced into the man's game as a makeshift striker at Workington.
Adapting quickly, Holt's scoring exploits were instant. Nine goals in the final six games secured Reds' promotion.
"Playing at that level has definitely hardened me to the demands of the Premier League," he says.
"It's a lot easier knowing players aren't just trying to break your legs now.
"In the non-league, players are brought in just to bully young lads. You get kicked for 90 minutes, but I'm proud of my roots.
"I will probably be the only player who goes from Workington to the Premier League and that's a massive honour for me.
"But I will always be that fat kid from Cumbria who is flying the flag for our county in the big league."
During that one season in West Cumbria a star was born.
The Carlisle-born frontman can count the likes of Halifax Town, Barrow and Sengkang Marine in Singapore among his former clubs, as well as stints with Sheffield Wednesday, Rochdale, Nottingham Forest and Shrewsbury before finding a new lease of life at the head of the Canaries attack.
Looking back at his time in Workington with a wry smile, Holt paid tribute to his former club when he captained Norwich to Premier League promotion.
A T-shirt emblazoned with the words 'From the Unibond Prem to the Real Prem' adorned his body as all around him was engulfed by a sea of yellow.
Holt says: "I have come from such humble beginnings, it felt right to celebrate my past.
"It was one of the happiest days of my life leading Norwich to the Premier League, but I will never forget where it all started."
Holt's CV reads like a patchwork example of how far hard work can go.
Named in three PFA teams of the year, he also topped the League Two scoring charts with Shrewsbury (28).
Paul Simpson's play-off losing side also named Holt Player of the Year; an award he's also won at Nottingham Forest and Norwich.
Despite all the accolades, there is still a gaping hole; not fulfilling his boyhood dream of playing for his beloved Carlisle United.
Coming agonisingly close on three occasions is one hat-trick Holt is not proud of, and an issue he aims to rectify when his Carrow Road contract runs out in 2014.
He says: "I still have two years on my Norwich contract, but I'll always be a Carlisle fan.
"I would love to end my career with them, but only if I felt I could do the shirt proud.
"I would not join just to say I played for the club I love. I would have to feel I was able of helping them."
A lifelong fan, Holt came close to a Brunton Park move in 2002 and twice in 2008.
Agreeing a contract with ex-boss Roddy Collins while playing in Singapore for Sengkang Marine, the flamboyant Irishman reneged on the deal when Holt returned to England.
He says: "All I had to do was put pen to paper, but the contract never came.
"I was desperate to sign, especially after scoring in friendlies against Newcastle and Celtic, but Roddy said the club had no money and the deal was off.
"Not signing for Carlisle United is my biggest regret in football.
"To wear that blue shirt in front of the Brunton Park fans would be amazing.
"I would have worn it with pride, but so far it wasn't to be.
"I have been lucky enough to play at Brunton Park against Carlisle, but it's never the same.
"I don't want to score against Carlisle, I want to score for them."
Transfer deadline day: January 2008, Holt again came close to signing for Carlisle.
Neil McDonald wanted to push through a deal, but the board refused to pay Nottingham Forest's £175,000 asking price.
"I was happy to take a pay cut to join," he says.
"All I wanted to do was play for Carlisle. To come so close to joining and miss out was hard to take and I ended up on loan at Blackpool.
"My agent offered Carlisle first refusal in the summer, but they still said no so I dropped to League Two, scored a few goals for Shrewsbury, and the rest, as they say, is history."

Have your say
Well done, Grant, on flying the flag for Cumbria in the Premier League. I heard a rumour that Scotland have been checking him out as he might have a Scottish grandparent, so who knows...
A great example of how hard work can get you to where you really want to be. Can you believe there's a lad from workington who used to play along side grant holt for workington reds and he's still telling everyone that he was better than grant. It's a funny one, as grant's playing in one of the world's best league's (and scoring too) this guy's in the pub - AR.
