Real name Rose Louise Hovick, she was to earn her fame as the world's most famous stripper.
Gypsy Rose Lee was born Rose Louise Hovick on 14 February 1911 in Washington to advertising salesman John Olaf Hovick and his teenage bride Rose. Her younger sister, who would become an actress too, was born in 1913.
Her early career consisted of touring the provinces in a vaudeville act co-starring with her sister, and managed by her mother. Her sister, June Havoc, began a solo career, and Rose Louise became the Gypsy Rose Lee character, "intellectual stripper".
Gypsy was overshadowed by her talented younger sister and vaudeville was dying out. Her mother took the girls to a burlesque house and at the age of 15, Gypsy made her debut.
She took to the stage in a grass skirt and not much else and teasingly didn't take much off. The audience responded positively to this new form of striptease, which was more tease than strip. She earned a reputation for her onstage wit as well as her strip style.
Soon she had made it to Minsky's, the most famous burlesque house in the United States, where waitresses in French maid costumes sprayed the audience with perfume. Here she took her stage name which derived from her hobby of reading tea leaves and was combined with her real first name Rose and added Lee as a whim. She pursued a very successful career in burlesque even performing at high society balls.
In 1937, when mayor LaGuardia shut down all of New York's burlesque houses, Lee was forced to head west to Hollywood, and began her film career. In 1939, she returned to headline New York World's fair. She married Arnold Mizzy on 25 August 1937 at the insistence of her film studio but they divorced in 1941.
Gypsy had an affair with film producer Mike Todd and in an attempt to make him jealous married William Alexander Kirkland in 1942, later divorcing in 1944.
Initially appearing as Louise Hovich, she earned billing as Gypsy Rose Lee by 1943, and she excelled at comic roles in films such as 'Belle of the Yukon' in 1944.
On 1 December 1944, she gave birth to her only child Erik Lee who was fathered by film director Otto Preminger.
Through these films, however, Lee was to remain completely clothed at all times.
In 1948, Gypsy married third husband Julio de Diego but they divorced in 1955.
Lee's talents were not to be confined to mere performing, however. A novelist and memoir writer, she also saw her adaptations of her work storm the stage. Lee's 'The G-string Murders' was adapted as 'Lady of Burlesque' in 1943, and her 'The Naked Genius' adapted in 'Doll Face'.
Throughout the 1950s and 1960s, Lee became a television guest star, exhibiting a witty, self-deprecating character. She even succeeded in hosting her own talk show on at least two occasions.
Throughout her career, Gypsy had to deal with her mother who tried to exhort money through vicious threats until her death from terminal cancer in 1954.
It was her – admittedly fanciful - autobiography, 'Gypsy: A Memoir', published in 1957, which secured her fame. It was adapted for the stage by Arthur Laurents and Stephen Sondheim.
The motion picture adaptation of the tale of stripper, and brutal encouraging mother, became a great success. Starring Rosalind Russell and Natalie Wood, the film was a great success, and cemented Lee's legend.
Diagnosed with lung cancer in 1969, she died on 26 April 1970. She is buried at Inglewood Park Cemetery in California.

What Is Alexander Skarsgard's Twitter?
You Asked, We Answered!
We hate to break the bad news, Truebies, but Alexander Skarsgard (aka The Sexiest Swede Alive) is Twitter-less!
We can't even wrap our minds around how amazing it would be if A-Skars did get a Twitter — since he'd likely spend most of his time tweeting shirtless pics of Joe Manganiello and writing sexy Swedish limericks.
Plus, he might even tweet his location, which would make our daily stalking sessions way easier. Until then, there's this.

S.A. man killed in Wisconsin beating
By Eva Ruth Moravec : December 3, 2012 : Updated: December 3, 2012 9:56pm

San Antonio native Ryan M. Smith, 20, was beaten to death by an 18-year-old wielding a baseball bat in Wisconsin recently. He graduated from Robert E. Lee High School in 2010, and moved to Wisconsin afterwards.

A San Antonio man was fatally beaten in an argument that escalated over drugs in Wisconsin, authorities there said.
Ryan M. Smith, 20, who graduated from Robert E. Lee High School in 2010, died Saturday of blunt force trauma, according to the Dane County Sheriff's Office.
"He was beaten to a pulp with a baseball bat," said Smith's father, Jeff Smith. "It's been a nightmare."
Smith said relatives had stayed by Ryan Smith's hospital bedside since Nov. 27, when he was found lying in a road in Mt. Horeb, Wis., about 25 miles west of Madison.
A Dane County news release says Smith had been exchanging text messages with his accused killer, Koalton P. Peterson, 18, about a drug deal. Peterson told Smith he couldn't sell him marijuana that night, but Smith went to a home where Peterson was staying in Mt. Horeb, and Peterson met him outside with a bat, the release states.
Reportedly, a woman who waited in Smith's vehicle heard noises, got out and confronted Peterson, the release states. She then called 911, and Peterson fled.
Dane County officers found Peterson and the bat, which had been discarded. He was arrested on a charge of attempted first-degree intentional homicide, which was upgraded to first-degree reckless homicide.
Jeff Smith said he doesn't know his son's accused killer and thinks the drug-related motive is a cover. Ryan Smith was driven and responsible, his father said, and stayed in San Antonio for his last two years of high school with a friend's parents after his own parents moved to Wisconsin to care for a sick relative.
After graduating, Smith had moved to Fitchburg, outside Madison, to be closer to his parents but hoped to return to San Antonio, Jeff Smith said.
"He would help anybody that needed help, and he had a lot of really good friends down in San Antonio," Smith said.

McDonald's snub motivates Northern High star Ricky Council
No run for Ricky.
Sides have been chosen for the 2014 McDonald's All American Games, and Northern's Ricky Council II had to settle for being that kid who wanted to play with the big boys yet only could stand by bouncing his basketball.
The McDonald's All American teams were announced late Wednesday. The top high school basketball players in the country get to show why they're coveted by schools like Duke, North Carolina, Kansas and Kentucky. The all-stars will play in Chicago's United Center on April 2.
Despite being nominated for consideration, Council won't be there.
"I was disappointed," Council said. "I think it's going to be motivation for me."
Council is averaging 25 points, five rebounds and three assists per game during his senior season at Northern, where he's played his entire high school career, three years with the varsity team. The 6-5, 190-pound shooting guard figures that may have something to do with his omission from the McDonald's team.
It's becoming more and more common for high school basketball players to go from school to school looking for increased playing time and exposure, the end game being scholarships to play college basketball. Some players end up at non-traditional high schools that are more or less designed to prepare them for college basketball.
Amateur Athletic Union squads have also cut in on traditional high school teams. Cardinal Gibbons (Raleigh) basketball coach Marque Carrington organized a 2011 symposium to address that. Dave Telep, an ESPN recruiting analyst at the time, moderated the session and spoke passionately about restoring the importance of traditional high school teams.
Council, 18, said he might have earned a spot in this year's McDonald's game if he'd pursued a non-traditional route for high school basketball.
"It probably would be more attention because they play on TV sometimes, and things of that nature," Council said.
At the same time, those so-called basketball academies, typically with small student enrollments, don't offer the diversity of a school like Northern, where everybody knows Council's name.
"Everybody knows who I am, and everybody's supporting me and the team," Council said. "Everybody's thinking we can win the state championship."
Northern is 16-2 overall, 3-1 in the PAC-6 4-A, and that blemish on the Knights' league record came in a 76-69 home loss to Jordan.
That game splashed cold water on the Knights' faces. It woke them up, because their success early in the season had them in a little stupor, Council said.
"After losing to Jordan, we got back to playing really hard in practice," Council said.
"We can't play laid-back defense like we did that night," Northern coach Ronnie Russell said. "We're kind of clicking right now."
Northern hasn't played a game since losing to Jordan. Rough weather prompted the postponement of Tuesday's game with Riverside. The Knights are scheduled to visit Person tonight. Northern blew out Person 83-48 on Jan. 7.
While the McDonald's game didn't work out for Council, it's not like college coaches don't know who Council is. He said he has scholarship offers from UNC Wilmington, Appalachian State, Western Carolina and N.C. Central. Council said Wake Forest, Temple and Cincinnati have shown interest as well.
Duke is where Council said he'd like to play. That's where four of those members of the McDonald's men's game are headed.
Council has the grades to study at just about anywhere he wants. He has a 3.8 grade-point average.
But Council has a nice basketball IQ, too. The McDonald's people took a pass on him, but Council wants to prove that he's got a whopper of a game. He'd go a long way toward doing that by leading Northern to a state championship. The Knights are built to win it, Council said.
Northern guard Timothy Crutchfield is back for the Knights after going down last season with a broken ankle, and forward Kentrell Barkley at 6-5 supplies length and leaping ability and really good motor.
Barkley scored 30 points when Jordan beat Northern. Council, who had 13 points that night, said he doesn't have to carry the team.
"It takes a lot of pressure off. Not just Barkley but the whole starting five and the bench," Council said. "But he's doing really well, and everybody's cooking at the right time."
Council is the top chef.
"He's doing more this year than he's done the last two years," Russell said.
Council led the Knights in scoring and assists last season.
"Assists are not something that everybody talks about, but it's very important," Council said.
Council this season is getting his buckets but also is passing the ball well and defending it better, Russell said.
"He's playing a total game now. I think that's a sign of maturity on his part," Russell said.
Telep, these days working as the draft scouting coordinator for the NBA's San Antonio Spurs, said Council can play.
"Council, to me, is a hidden mid-major Division I target," Telep said. "He's improved each year, shoots it exceptionally well and has basketball intellect."

August 2, 2015
BALTIMORE (AP) - Tom Clancy, the best-selling author of "The Hunt for Red October" and other wildly successful technological thrillers, has died. He was 66.
Penguin Group (USA) said Wednesday that Clancy died Tuesday in Baltimore. The publisher did not disclose a cause of death.
Clancy arrived on best-seller lists in 1984 with "The Hunt for Red October." He sold the manuscript to the first publisher he tried, the Naval Institute Press, which had never bought original fiction.
A string of other hits soon followed, including "Red Storm Rising," ''Patriot Games" and "Clear and Present Danger."
Clancy had said his dream had been simply to publish a book, hopefully a good one, so that he would be in the Library of Congress catalog. Several of his books were later made into movies.

Only after a good, passionate ride, and an asshole filled with cum, will they be satisfied - but then it is simply back to their beautiful Brazilian countryside, looking for another party, and another cock to conquer.

RICHMOND, VA (WTVR) — After investigating Henrico's meal's tax issues, CBS 6 turned to Richmond businesses to see if their experience gave them an advantage.
Purchases made in Henrico, which recently employed the tax on June 1, revealed that merchants were not aware which items were appropriate to tax.
Since 2003, the city of Richmond has added a meal tax of six percent, which is tacked on top of the 5.3 percent state sales tax.
Under Richmond City Code, factory sealed beverages are exempt from the meal tax when sold alone. CBS 6 reporter Joe St. George went purchased bottled beverages from 10 establishments.
The following places incorrectly applied a meals tax:
- McDonalds, on Broad St. near Boulevard.
- Subway, at Boulevard and Broad St.
- Burger King, on Broad St. near Staples Mill Rd.
- The Alamo BBQ in Church Hill
- Wendy's in downtown Richmond.
- Dunkin Donuts on Nansemond Street, near Carytown.
"The city isn't super clear on what gets food taxed," said James Gibian, manager at The Alamo.
"I don't want to be incorrectly charging customers," Gibian added.
Gibian promised to fix the issue as soon as possible.
When asked why the city is still having meal tax issues decades after it was first introduced, spokesman Mike Wallace described it as "not overly surprising" and he placed blame on registers and new employees.
Wallace did say "any taxpayer that feels they are entitled to a refund should contact the finance department with a receipt."
Wallace said that the city is constantly trying to educate companies to properly tax.

Over the next two years, however, the few hospitals that purchased the $500,000 device did not take part in a study of patients that the manufacturer agreed to perform as a part of the machine's approval. Cancer experts also said they were surprised that the Food and Drug Administration had approved the machine in the first place.

Respect for our legal system (an editorial)
A sneak peek at tomorrow's editorial ...
Six women stood trial earlier this week, accused of trespassing at an
area business to the point they were forcibly removed by local
police. They were tried and convicted by a jury of their peers. And,
after being fined by the judge, the group remained unrepentant,
refused to pay any fine and promised to return to the scene of their
This is not about how you may feel about nuclear power.
This is not about how you may feel about an individual or group's
right to protest.
This is not about Entergy or Vermont Yankee.
This is about a group of people — people who do not live in Vermont —
people who choose to regularly and repeatedly break the laws our of
state — and people who, when forced to be held accountable for their
actions in a court of law, flaunted their indifference publicly, in
the face of Vermonters and our state's legal system.
Some things to consider:
— While the women represented themselves, prosecutors and the judge
spent a day in court at taxpayers' expense. And, before you argue
that they would have been working regardless, perhaps there could
have been a more suitable use of their time (perhaps on more serious
— Twelve jurors (along with two alternates) spent the day in court,
listening to this case. If they had no reimbursement via their jobs,
they were paid a stipend by the court for their time served. And,
even if you consider that money minimal, remember that this was 14
members of the community who gave up time at work, or perhaps at home
tending to family. They gave up a day of their lives to serve the
community, and these women's reactions are an offense to the
importance of these jurors' time and effort.
— Each woman on trial was fined $350 for the single charge of
criminal trespassing. Perhaps you don't care if these fines are paid.
But that amount does not tell a complete story. For each charge, an
additional 15 percent surcharge goes toward the Vermont State
Restitution Unit (in this case, $53); an additional $100 charge goes
toward SUI, the state sex offender enforcement unit; as well as (in
this case) an additional $41 which is automatically assessed for
other fees. That totals an additional $194 which is legislatively
mandated to help fund state groups, groups which rely on these fees
to continue serving the people of Vermont.
— What about the cost of the response by Vernon police and the
Vermont State Police to the initial protest? Again, while these are
people already on duty and performing typical tasks, consider the
lost moments that could mean the difference between life and death
if, while dealing with elderly women chained to a fence, a more
serious emergency arises. Not to mention the fact that the protest in
question took place just days after most of the state was ravaged by
flooding caused by Tropical Storm Irene.
Perhaps most importantly, think of what type of message this sends to
the community. This is a group of people who, justified or not, chose
to break the law. They were tried and convicted. And their reactions,
despite the rhetoric they choose to hide behind, presents one simple
statement: What we stand for is more important than your laws and we
need not follow them.
What a slippery slope this creates.
If more people choose to take that stance, that viewpoint, that
belief ... where, then, will that leave us?
Remember, this is not about nuclear power.
This is not about someone's right to protest.
This is about someone's choice to break the law, and their reaction
to doing so.
We believe the reaction following Tuesday's case is an affront to all
of us living and working in Vermont. We are offended, and hope you
are too.
You can't be serious. Of course this was about nuclear power and Entergy and Vermont Yankee. Perhaps you need to re-read some history about the power of passive resistance and peaceful protests. These were not radical, bomb-throwing anarchists, they were six committed, sincere, concerned women making a statement and had the courage of their convictions to risk arrest, trial and punishment, including jail.
What would you be willing to take those risks for?
Who is the "we" this person is speaking for and does the "we" know they are being spoken for and consent.
This person sounds like a big business lackey/sycophant.
And is the antithesis of what a journalist is.
Nuclear catastrophe does not know laws or state lines.
This person should be removed from his position in the news paper .
Here is a phrase Mr D'Errico : " 'the golden rule':he who has the gold makes the rules"
Here is another :"good people break bad laws"
You should be removed from your position
Ok, well if any of the editorial board disagrees I guess they will say as much.
Obviously I don't know how those things work :I was not aware that one writer speaks for a board of people. I guess there is a consensus taken or something. Well thanks for sort of clearing that up. I am sorry if my remarks sounded flippant

Thank you for sharing this article, this is a nice one
I agree with many of your statements on Leather vs Microfiber. I live by scotch guard! I have a daughter and it is her goal as a child to destroy every piece of cloth furniture I own. Scotch guard is my new best friend. I have sprayed it on all my furniture. I was also told that they have made a scotch guard for leather too, but I have not personally confirmed this.
I agree with your fabric protection plan but I have heard a lot of bad stuff about those company's. Mainly that they do not honor what they say. Is there a universal company that you recommend?
Mary, thanks for your interest! We offer a Montage 5 year premium protection plan . Many customers will purchase this knowing their kids are going to ruin their furniture in advance. If you want more info, please call us at 1-800-970-5889 or email us at firstname.lastname@example.com
The post has given useful information about the leather v microfiber furniture. Useful information
We are glad it helped you! If there is every anything specific you would like to learn more about, let us know!
Great article but still a little confused. I have a cat that thinks the sofa is a better scratching post than the scratching post I bought for him. Will leather hold up better than microfiber? From te article, it looks like leather will hold up better, but show the scratch marks more. If I'm spending thousands of $$ on a new sofa, I really don't want either. Am I asking for too much, or is it possible to get both qualities from a sofa.
Thank you.

Rallying for Jobs, Justice
By Lauren Hallow, Frankfort State Journal
Nearly 50 people gathered on the Old Capitol lawn Saturday to rally for job creation and against Washington, possibly rehearsing for future protests. Sponsored by the local chapter of MoveOn.org, a public policy group for "democracy in action," the hour-long rally featured several speakers, including Rep. Carl Rollins, D-Midway, who expressed their concerns with the government and the nation's lackluster economy. Members of MoveOn.org organized the rally after being inspired by the Occupy Wall Street protests, which denounce economic inequality, particularly focusing on the 1 percent of people who control about a third of the nation's wealth.

E,F,& G cup... those exist???
6 days till the "big day" and I've been on JBI more than ever looking at everyone's pics, their pre-op and post-op sizes and I'm still trying to figure out what size I want to be. I've noticed lately that there are a lot of women with E,F,G & beyond cup sizes, I literally did not know this was that common.
I already wear a 34C/36B in VS but we all know Victoria's secret is to make you think your bigger than you are lol. When I first really began looking into implants I had D cup stuck in my head as what I wanted and then when I started seeing how many cc's I was looking into and did the sizers in the PS office and the rice sizers, I realized what I think of as a D cup may actually be a DD cup, which is fine because I'm trying to focus on what look I want instead of the actual cup size. But after being a loyal VS customer for years, they always talk about your "sister size", like my 34C and a 36B are my sister sizes.
So finally to my question, when someone posts that they wear a 30F bra size, is that really like a sister size to a 36DD or a 38D? Because with what I understand, or maybe misunderstand, is that you add 2 inches to the band for every cup size you go smaller so to go from a F to a D which is 4 cup sizes difference you would add 8 inches and it would still be the same size... right??? And if this is the case why would someone not just say a 38D instead of an F, because I think of a size F of like the size of a basketball or cantaloupes or like those weird women on the show manswers that crush cans with their gianormous ridiculously big melons for tatties.
These women that have E,F,G,H cup sizes don't look near that large, some I'll look at a pic and say theres no way they are larger than a C cup! Also how is it possible for someone's band width to not change after implants? If your adding in a huge implant wouldn't that make a normally 34 band girl go at least to a 36 if not 38?
And ladies with these large cup sizes, can you wear things from VS since they obviously don't have E,F,G cups? I would absolutely die if I couldn't wear their bras anymore, I've worked dang hard to get to my VIP angel status So I hope I am making sense to someone/anyone because I know I'm very confused and tend to ramble on and on

I'm a 30GG at least (30G was biggest they had when I was trying them on and was way too small in the cups, but being only 4 weeks post-op I haven't gone to any stores to find anything bigger yet since I'm not buying yet) and I come nowhere NEAR being able to fit into ANY of VS's bras or bathing suits. Now yes, a 30 band size means I don't look like a GG cup sounds. It's the sister size to a 34FF, 36F. I was actually wearing a 34B pre-op but should have been wearing a 30D I now know. (VS is horrible at getting a true accurate fit even if it seems like it's bang on, better off at Nordstrom's or Intimacy Boutique and you'll see the major difference in a real true fitting bra.) But either way, no the girls never look as big as the cup size sounds!!

No your band size will not increase.
I am a 32g so obviously VS is out of the question for me but if I bought a 36DD and altered the band I could make it work but its not worth it. I am not too upset, I would much rather have big boobs. Also implants look smaller than real boobs so keep that in mind too

Oh yes like silly says, no the band size doesn't increase. The band is just around your rib cage, your boobs are fully in the cups and don't affect the band size. Some girls say at first until their swelling went down they had to go up a band size, but went back down after the swelling went away. And also like she said, if you could possibly find one that works in the cups you could have the band altered to fit you. And yet again as she says, fake boobies look smaller than real boobies for some reason!

When sister sizes are mentioned, it is basically the volume in the cup is the same and the band size changes (ie around the rib cage).
So...I am a 32G (LOL!).. If I tried on a 34DDD/F the cup would be the same size but I would have to do the bra up on the smallest set of hooks...If I tried on a 36DD/E the cup should fit but I would have to possibly pin the centre gore or space together and tie the band up in a big bow at the back to get it to close. If I tried on a 38D the cup should fit but I could use the bra as a hula hoop because of the size of the band..kapish..?
And yes, weird about what we look and what we measure.

Band size should never change just the cup.When you have a BA the implant fills out your whole breast and is compact...no sag and no excess skin like a natural breast.This why you can fill a larger cup but not necessarily look that size.I fill a 28G in brands that do not add inches and a 32E in brands that do add on inches.If I put both bras side by side though the band length is the same.The problem is bra sizes are not standardised so it can be a bit hit and miss and you just need to try them on.I could not wear a band bigger than a 32 so the sister size thing doesn't work with everyone....if I tried to wear a 36C it would fall off me and the cup would not cover my whole breast.I look a DD which is what I asked to look,I didn't ask to be a cup size as that doesn't work with implants because they do look smaller than natural boobs.If I had asked to be a D cup I would look a C and I didn't want that.HTH.

Like the other ladies mentioned, band size does not change with BA. The implants add volume to your cups, not around your ribcage. So the only thing that should change is your cup size.
The cups are the same in their sister sizes. For example, I am a 32DD at VS. My breasts can fit into the cups of a 34D. However, I cannot wear a 34D because the 34 band is too big and rides up my back. A 32 band fits around my ribcage perfectly and stays in place. So my true size at VS is 32DD. A sister size to 32DD is also 36C, but only the cup is the same in both bra sizes, but I cannot wear 36C because 36 band is too big. That is why sister sizes do not work for everyone.

Okay thanks you guys, that makes a whole lot more sense. But last night I was on a site just for fun looking at celebrity bra sizes trying to get an idea of what look i want to go for and they said Pamela Anderson is only a 34 DD, now I'm obviously not very good at guessing sizes but there is no way in hell she is only a DD. And if she's a DD and I'm wanting to go full D borderline DD then I'm definitely gonna be rethinking cc's come surgery day. There is no way I could go into the profession I want to be in with knockers that large. There were a few more women on there that I was surprised to see they only wore c's but most of them had real breasts, like Jessica Simpson they said was a C/D cup (yea right). But apparently real breasts are way different size wise than implants. I wonder if celebrities lie about their sizes to make it seem like a more flattering, or accepted cup size. It's so funny bc the opposite appears true on this website most women would much rather be labeled a 30G/F than a boring old 34D cup lol

From the beginning of the 17th century to the American Revolution and beyond, Lower Delmarva, anchored in Old Somerset County
(today's Somerset, Worcester, Wicomico counties, Maryland and southern Sussex County, Delaware), was a major center of European
immigration to North America.
The people who entered the new land through its Chesapeake Gateway developed farms and towns throughout
the region, interacted in both peace and war with the resident Native American tribes, intermarried and formed extended kinship groups,
and created families whose descendants are now scattered throughout the United States and beyond. The total past and current numbers of
descendants may well number in the millions. From this perspective, Old Somerset, including its immigration relationships with
Northampton and Accomack Counties on Virginia's portions of the Eastern Shore, served as an early "Ellis Island" for America.
In colonial times, the Peninsula became home to residents whose origin included both Africa and Northern Europe. Certain contemporary
Delmarva speech patterns retain, more strongly than any other part of America, the 17th-century English settlers' dialect. And the
occupation of many a Delmarvan, "following the water," is modeled upon that of those same English settlers whose West Country fishing
and harvesting skills are being used by modern-day watermen in forms remarkably little changed over three centuries and more.
The Delmarva Peninsula has contributed significantly to the development of American life. Key roles were played in the nation's
colonial, federal, 19th-century, Civil War, industrial and contemporary periods. Yet because of its geographic separation from the
Eastern Seaboard corridor, Delmarva may well be America's most important, yet least studied and understood region.

LANSING, Mich. (AP) - Michigan is a step closer to allowing wolves to be hunted after the Legislature gave final approval to a bill designating the predator as a game species.
The House approved the bill Thursday and the Senate approved a technical amendment Friday after passing the measure earlier. It now goes to Gov. Rick Snyder for his signature.
Wolves in the Upper Great Lakes region were removed from the federal endangered species list in January, four decades after they were given legal protection to prevent them from going extinct in the lower 48 states.
The population has rebounded and now totals about 700 in Michigan's Upper Peninsula.
Although the bill authorizes hunting seasons for wolves, a decision on whether and when to have them will be made by the Natural Resources Commission.

Windows 7
Exploring Windows 7
What is Windows 7?
Windows 7 is an operating system that Microsoft has produced for use on personal computers. It is the follow-up to the Windows Vista Operating System, which was released in 2006. An operating system allows your computer to manage software and perform essential tasks. It is also a Graphical User Interface (GUI) that allows you to visually interact with your computer's functions in a logical, fun, and easy way.
For example, in Windows 7 you can view two windows side by side by using the Aero Snap feature. This feature automatically sizes—or snaps—two windows to fit together on the screen, allowing you the convenience of viewing them next to each other.
Please note that Windows 7 is designed to work on PCs and requires additional setup to run on a Mac (Apple Macintosh computer).

Have you ever wanted to enjoy homemade mozzarella? With our easy mozzarella recipe you can make and serve your mozzarella in less than an hour! Our 30-minute mozzarella recipe is great for any occasion, whether you're entertaining house guests or just serving your own craving. So gather your ingredients and start this easy mozzarella recipe today! You won't be disappointed.
1. Slowly heat the milk to 55 degrees Fahrenheit in a stainless steel pot. While stirring, slowly add the citric acid solution to the milk and mix thoroughly but gently.
2. Heat the milk to 88 degrees over medium-low heat. The milk will begin to thicken like yogurt.
3. Gently stir in the diluted rennet for 30 seconds. Then don't disturb the milk while you let it heat to between 100 and 105 degrees. In about 5 to 8 minutes, the curds should begin to break up and pull away from the sides of the pot. Turn off the heat.
4. The curds will look like thick yogurt and become a bit shiny, and the whey will be clear. If the whey is still milky white, wait a few more minutes before turning off the heat. Scoop out the curds with a slotted spoon and put in a bowl. Reserve the whey. Press the curds gently with your hands, squeezing out as much whey as possible.
5. Heat the reserved whey to 175 degrees. Shape the curds into several small balls, rolling them between your palms. Put them, one at a time, into a ladle, and dip them in the hot whey for several seconds. Then gently fold the cheese over and over (as in kneading bread) with a spoon or your hand. (You'll want to don rubber gloves at this point, as the cheese will be extremely hot.) This distributes the heat evenly throughout the cheese, which will not stretch until it is too hot to touch (145 degrees inside the curd).
6. Repeat this process several times until the curd is smooth and pliable; mix in salt after the second time. When the cheese stretches like taffy, it's done. If the curds break instead of stretch, they are too cool and need to be reheated.
7. When the cheese is smooth and shiny, roll it into balls and eat while warm. Although best eaten fresh, it can be stored in the refrigerator for a week or so.

These two are a fun couple, there's no doubt about it. I can barely recall a moment of interaction with them where they each didn't have a smile glued on their faces. Both are very ambitious, and one of their many goals in life is to simply make the other laugh. I can't say enough how much fun they were to be around, and it was an honor to be a part of their wedding. Their ceremony was held at the Ritz-Carlton in downtown Boston, and after a fantastic walk through the Public Garden they finished the evening at Grill 23 & Bar in the Back Bay.
A special shoutout to the band, Groove Authority, who played a wicked set. They had everyone on the dance floor pretty much all night. Congratulations again to the newlyweds.

text: The only movie that scared me was a thriller and not a horror movie. It was the production of "A Turn of the Screw" with Richard Burton. I was just 6 years old when I saw it (wasn't supposed to be up, but you know...). Scared the bloody crap out of me. As an adult years later, it still scared me, I had to turn the lights on! Reading the book put it all in perspective, as did seeing the remake with Julian Sands about 20 years later. That original movie, the way it was filmed still gives me the creeps.

Cosmopolitan Beirut is unlike any other Middle Eastern capital. The surrounding countryside is part of the difference. Set on the Mediterranean, midway along Lebanon's coast, Beirut is a short drive from beaches and, surprisingly, ski slopes, forest-clad mountains and dramatic river gorges—with not a patch of desert in sight. As the city dates from the 15th century BC, Beirut is naturally rich in history. Phoenicians, Romans, Crusaders, Ottomans and French are among those who have left evidence of their sojourns. The cultural diversity of Beirut's 2.1 million people is a happy result. French is commonly spoken. Along the wealth of European-style architecture, this explains why Beirut has been dubbed "the Paris of the Middle East." What you don't expect is how young the city feels. Attractive streets in Ashrafieh or chic Solidère brim with the latest fashions, busy sidewalk cafés or trendy nightclubs. Beirutis like to party, all night long, and they do it with elegance and energy. If dancing till dawn isn't your thing, stroll the Corniche as the sun sets and enjoy the carefree spirit of a picturesque seaside town, backed by the Beirut Central District's gleaming skyscrapers. Or linger over meze, the local "small plates" delicacies; Lebanese cuisine is at its zenith here. Whatever you want from a city, Beirut is ready to charm you.

Krista/Cananny--Thanks for your responses! I don't have 6 large follicles--she already told me that she wouldn't insem if there were more than 3 large ones. She wants 2-3 to be "in the running" (my largest 2 days ago was at 17 but the other two were quite a bit smaller--14 maybe?) knowing that my egg quality is most likely not the best. I ended up talking to her yesterday about my bloodwork (which was a little over 1000) and she said that "complications" to her meant the eggs becoming more cystic if they got too large and causing issues (and that it would be more painful) that way. She said that I won't have to worry about it with my levels being at 1000--she was afraid they would already be at 1500 by yesterday by how quickly the levels were rising. Maybe that means good eggs??? I hope so!
Pokey--I think you would make an excellent threadkeeper this month. I hear you on taking off work....I actually planned this cycle during summer break (I am a teacher) but since I live on an island and it cost SO much to travel on and off, I have been staying on the mainland in a hotel all week because of the monitoring. It is crazy how much time this takes up! And funny, I was mostly worried about taking the cap off and putting the needle on the pen as well...after I got past that, all went well. Good luck!! (Do you pay for your meds or do you have some insurance?)
La da da...hanging out in a hotel room. I planned on spending my whole week at the beach or library...but I see a GIANT rainstorm in the future so the beach might be out. Hopefully as the storm comes across the lake, it dissipates (although, we all need the rain).
M (30), D (30) TTC #1 since October 2010. 13 unsuccessful cycles--no meds (2 m/c). First medicated IUI July 2012: BFN. Second medicated IUI: BFP! Triplets! Actual Due Date: May 17...GOAL: April 5th!
Sawyer, Elliott, and Miles arrived on March 24th @ 32 weeks & 2 days.
Jenny - Congrats on the clear HSG! And good luck on the insem! Acupuncture is great. I hope everything goes well for you today.
Krista - What a journey this is for you! My fingers are crossed tightly that that one little bean sticks and grows into your cuddly baby.
Outdoorsy - Thanks for cheering us on. We need it! It has been a while since we all got some really good news. I read some of the other TTC boards, and they are having some slow times too. It makes me feel a little better that it's not just us. I hope your monitoring is going well.
Lise - Hanging out in a hotel room sounds fun, but I understand how you could get restless after a while not being home. My insurance covers 50% of fertility stuff. It certainly helps, but this will be an expensive cycle. We calculated it will be about $600 in ultrasounds alone. Fortunately, I live 2 blocks from the RE's office, and the lab is also there. Transportation is easy-peasy. The problem is I work in investments and on the West Coast the stock market closes at 1pm, so being out in the morning is the worst for me. I would rather miss in the afternoon, but my RE's office likes to do all the monitoring in the mornings. My wife and I talked about it last night and decided I really need to tell my boss and folks I work for what is going on so they understand why I am missing all this work. I'm a private person, and we haven't told many people we're TTC so that's hard for me, but it's time.

Imagine going from campsite to relaxation in 30 seconds flat. This is what the Alite pop-up folding camper from ALiner will do for you. The light weight design allows the Alite to be easily towed with most vehicles, including cars and minivans. The compact size allows the unit to be stored in most garages, but the large windows and skylights allow ample light and easy access to breathtaking view.The Alite's a compact camper, weighing less therefore less to tow. The Alite can even be towed into the woods by a quad. It may have limited standards and options but the locations you can take it are limitless. Motorcycle tourists have been known to take Alites on a roundtrip to Alaska. This is definitely an RV with saving money in mind.
So, if you want a camper that will last for years to come, and can have you relaxing in seconds the next time you decide to go camping, choose a Aliner Alite pop-up travel trailer. Ready. Set. Camp!

Also dead were his son Paul and colleague Carl Young, who through the years had shared dramatic videos with television viewers and weather researchers.

The Judge By J Fuego Villainy 5 Pack
5 1/2 x 46 - Maduro - Pack of 5
Special Offer
Special Offer
The Judge cigars are brand new exclusives you can only find here at Famous Smoke Shop. The blend was crafted by no other than skilled tobacconist Jesus Fuego. That means undeniable flavor, power, and quality. each cigar is rolled in zesty Brazilian Mata Fina wrappers that cap a 4-nation longfiller blend, offering a complex kick with a smooth, non-overpowering bouquet. It brings a whole new meaning to the phrase Here comes the Judge! Pick yours up today.
I picked these up in the smallest ring gauge as possible. The reason is I like lanceros and 2 of my favorites are the 7-20-4 and the 262 Paridigm. Both of those have the Brazilian Mata Fina wrapper so, I got these hoping. Although not exactly the same, some of the same and my favorite flavors. Espresso, slight chocolate and creamy. Definite will buy more, wish they had a lancero. As with all J Fuego cigars, construction was good, not great.
I have tried J Fuego's Origen and Origen Maduro and really like them both. The Maduro used the Brazilian Mata Fina wrapper which is one of my favorite wrappers. The Judge also uses this wrapper and really makes this an enjoyable, favorable cigar. A fuller bodied cigar with notes of citrus, coffee and a dark chocolate finish.
Everything about these cigars was very good.But the taste was very bitter and acidy all 5 in the pack.But that is just my opinion.
Wow! This is one great smoke. Construction, draw and burn were flawless. Incredible flavors of well-aged tobacco, espresso, leather and nuts. Full-bodied, yet oh so smooth.Immediately went to my "top 3." Could easily fetch two or three times the price.You've gotta try these!

Simply put, CANADIAN FUR COMPANY believes that is imperative for every buyer to be completely satisfied by seeing first hand and second by understanding fully the answers to six key questions. CANADIAN FUR COMPANY can answer these questions while showing each customer a greater selection than that available at its next two competitors combined!
- Are the pelts female, male or males that are made to look like female? And why does this matter?
- Is the origin BLACKGLAMA® (Great Lakes Mink Association), USA, KOPENHAGEN®, Denmark, SAGA®, Scandinavian, or another country, and which are better?
- Is the fur and hide natural, color added or a dyed color and how is this important?
- Were the pelts in the garment constructed using a fully let-out, let-out, skin-on-skin, corded, or joined sections technique? How is the quality of the stitching in the selected technique?
- What is the sweep in inches (or distance around the bottom) to determine the quantity of pelts, and why is this important in a less fitted style?
- Does the selected garment have the desired or flattering styling options, and which are enduring or trendy, popular or distinctive?
- Collars: Shawl, Wing, Cape, or Notched
- Shoulders: Set in, Raglan, or Saddle
- Sleeves: Hairdown (straight), Diagonal, or Semi-Dolman
- Cuffs: Bracelet, Turn Back Cuff, Straight, or Gathered
- Bodies: Full Sweep, Straight, Semi-Shaped, Geometric, or Flounce
There is a lot to grasp here but visiting CANADIAN FUR COMPANY can be a good learning experience. And even if a customer chooses to purchase elsewhere, he or she will now be making a better decision.
