Summary (from Goodreads):
The Sullivan sisters have a big problem. On Christmas Day their rich and imperious grandmother gathers the family and announces that she will soon die . . .and has cut the entire family out of her will. Since she is the source of almost all their income, this means they will soon be penniless.
Someone in the family has offended her deeply. If that person comes forward with a confession of her (or his) crime, submitted in writing to her lawyer by New Year's Day, she will reinstate the family in her will. Or at least consider it.
And so the confessions begin....
My Review: This is one of the best examples I know of a character driven novel. Everything lives and dies by the characters. This is also a good example of why you shouldn't always judge a book by its title, cover, or even synopsis.
When I received this book in the mail from Scholastic, I kind of pushed it aside. I don't like the Gossip Girl type books that portray women as catty, mean-spirited, and back-biting sleazes. This book had much less of that type of material than I was expecting, and I think a lot of people that may be turned off from the vibe that this book gives out should at least give it a shot.
Each sister had a completely different personality that shown through the pages. Norrie's story I had a hard time getting into at first. I found her plot extremely dull and found myself forcing my way through the first 20 pages. I think once I got past my prejudices, Norrie shoved her way through, and I really enjoyed it.
Sassy was easily my favorite character in the book, and the one I related to the most. She had a heart of gold, and was a nice medium between the two sisters. Her tutoring sessions were awesome, and she really just rocked.
Jane's story was the funniest, but man, stay far away from her, or whatever you say might end up on the internet. Don't we all know someone like that?
I read in another review that Almighty, the rich and powerful grandmother was like Lady Catherine from Pride and Prejudice. And I must agree that their personalities are quite the same. Althought, you know if they met in real life they'd probably hate each other.
I would recommend this book for someone who'd like to try a book in the vein of Gossip Girl, but without all the you know, Gossip Girl stuff in it. It's quite clean, fun, lively, and has a very quirky ending. I haven't read HOW TO SAY GOODBYE IN ROBOT yet, but it is definitely going on my list.

Funny People
Reviewer: Jonathan Poritsky
Rating (out of 5): ****
Judd Apatow's third film (after 40 Year Old Virgin and Knocked Up) Funny People, is slow, disjointed, and riddled with long breaks between laughs. It is also something close to an American comedy masterpiece. Which doesn't mean that it is among the funniest American films. While Funny People is decidedly a film about people, the "funny" in the title is less apparent. But it calls into question our preconceived definitions of comedy: What makes someone a comedian? What makes the rest of us laugh?
Adam Sandler plays George Simmons, a comedy megastar who tries to get back to his stand up roots after learning he has a terminal illness. After being lampooned by struggling comedian Ira Wright, played with the expected cuddly scrappiness by Seth Rogen, Simmons finds a kindred spirit in the young heckler and hires him on as his assistant. Overnight, Ira goes from the least successful schlub is his apartment of young talents to the right hand man of their childhood hero. His roommates, Leo Koenig and Mark Taylor Jackson (Jonah Hill and Jason Schwartzman, respectively) embody the very definition of platonic love, even though they spend the bulk of the movie violently ribbing their couch-dwelling friend. It is obvious that when they all came to Hollywood, they would stick with one another through the bitter end.
Adam Sandler is phenomenal in the lead role; this is truly the performance of his career. Try as he might, Sandler hasn't been able to make the leap from comedy to drama as successfully as, say, Tom Hanks. Not for lack of trying: his notable forays into serious fare, Punch-Drunk Love and Reign Over Me, gained him critical respect but not quite the adoration of audiences. However, the dark and disturbing corners he explored in Punch-Drunk Love, combined with his own experiences, are what make him perfect in this new role. George is a man whose spirit has been dampened, beaten down over the years until he only knew how to do one thing: make people laugh at any cost to his pride or his interpersonal relationships. Anyone could get George's dramatic overtones right, but a masterful laugh-maker is required to make the comedy work through the drama rather than alongside it.
On his third outing as director, Judd Apatow begins to stretch his artistic chops, evidenced in part by the choice to work with cinematographerJanusz Kaminski, the Polish impresario who rarely leaves Steven Spielberg's employ (and who was nominated for an Oscar for his extraordinary first-person-POV work on Julian Schnabel'sThe Diving Bell and the Butterfly. It doesn't seem to have been such a well-rounded relationship, most likely due to Apatow's razor sharp focus on dialogue and emotional progression. As tends to be the way with comedy directors these days, the formal elements that might make a man like Kaminski attractive come second to the story. The result visually is a mostly successful but relatively average looking film. But I'm happy to see Kaminski branching out at this point in his career. So nice of Spielberg to let him come out and play.
Close to the end of the film, after verbally berating Ira, George takes things below the belt and suggests maybe the young comedian should find something else to do with his life. "Comedy, usually, is for funny people." It is a huge moment. As audience members, we know how to laugh, but what separates us from the comedians is knowing quite how to evoke that visceral reaction from the masses. In plain English, Apatow's film explicitly explains what it is that separates the funny from the unfunny, yet we remain as confused by this dark art as we were before viewing Funny People. That we still also laugh for much of this moving piece's two and a half hours is evidence enough that we are willing to put it on faith that these people are, in fact, quite funny.
Author's Note: This review is based on the theatrical release, so I can't speak to the quality of the disc's special features. After you see it, I recommend reading my friend Sunrise Tippeconnie's reaction: Funny People [or how I learned to stop laughing and love the end]. I wouldn't throw in a shameless plug if I didn't find the reading incredibly enlightening. Happy surfing.

I recently accepted an invitation to go fishing. Serious fishing. I have no idea what I'm doing.
After tormenting myself with a running trailer of anxieties (I fall out of the boat, I hook someone in the face, I cut my hand gutting a fish) I realize I've fallen into a trap. I have a habit of worrying about the unknown rather than embracing it. No matter how much experience I have in living what is a happy, fulfilling life, I'm still susceptible to paranoid fantasies about failure--however unfounded.
The good news is that I also catch myself at this game. When I attempt to play the "now fear this" tape, I willfully make it a preview for a comedy--more teasing and mischievous. That way, I can laugh at myself. Then it's easier to say "yes" to the new.
Isn't this also true in business? Our fears can make innovation so emotionally painful. When forced to change a process or introduce a new offering, I wonder if it's better to see it as a creative fishing trip. The economy has really freaked people out--for good reason. But the blind fear keeps us clinging to things that really don't work any longer. In a workshop I gave recently, a gentleman said, "I realize the direct mail campaign isn't working, but I won't get fired for doing it." Fear keeps us from trying things that could work better.

Public Lounge > Welcome Central - **FIRST POST MUST BE MADE HERE
Again and again and again....
(1/2) > >>
Oh my, this might be my 4th or 5th again... TM is kind of an anchor -- connecting me with others who believe that Jesus is the Savior of all men... with others who are still learning, yearning for a deeper relationship with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and occasionally I have to take up the anchor and put it in storage for a while... need to spend more alone time with Jesus... actually, this is the shortest interval between again's... I've done a brief study on "grace and truth"... it was kind of an answer to my request: "O Lord, these are such evil days! What is it that You desire for me to do or not to do...? One of the answers was: Watch and Pray... another, witness unto Me I'm full of grace and truth.
Was missing you! Glad you're back. :) :HeartThrob:
Lazarus Short:
Yes, Tentmaker is an anchor, and the more time I spend here, the more other websites fade into irrelevance. Stick around this time, goodreport, and share what you've learned... :friendstu:
Christ in you, the hope of ALL glory.

Thanks Ross reminds me of
Heb 6:18-20
v 18 That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the HOPE set before us:
v 19 Which HOPE we have as an ANCHOR of the soul, both sure and stedfast, which entered into that within the veil;
v 20 Whither the forerunner is for us entered, even JESUS, made a high priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.

Teachers' guide and lesson plans to accompany the exhibition Please Please Please by Jeppe Hein.
Are you a teacher looking to further educate your class about one of our exhibitions? Or, maybe you are planning a field trip and would like some further guidance.
Teachers' Guides support educators who wish to visit the CAG with their students or who wish to carry out lessons related to CAG exhibitions in their classrooms. They include artist biographies, thematic exhibition overviews, suggested points of discussion, as well as recommended readings and references.
Lesson Plans are designed to bring the resources of contemporary art and artists to diverse classrooms. It is our goal to introduce students of all ages to the richness that engaging with contemporary art brings. Such breadth and diversity show that it can be used as a meaningful springboard in teaching a variety of subjects. Please feel free to adapt lessons to suit the specific needs of your class and curriculum.
"Please Do Not Touch the Artwork," is a familiar museum rule. Danish artist Jeppe Hein rendered it glowing red neon. Placed in one of the Contemporary Art Gallery's street front windows, it confronted the gallery visitor before they had entered the space, and set the tone for what was to come.
For Jeppe Hein's first exhibition in Canada, he presented three works that physically addressed the viewer's relation to the art object. Hein's work has been situated within an extended lineage of Minimalism. It is defined by its close examination of the formal and spatial concerns of the Minimalists as a sincere attempt to develop their concerns and reinvigorate a discourse, not for its historical relevance, but as a still vital energy for contemporary sculptural thought. His two works for the gallery space challenged the convention of the sculpture as a static object. Each offered an opportunity for viewers to experience art outside of the traditional passive role of the art viewer. Both pieces sat still and silent until they were engaged by audiences who, in viewing the artwork, triggered outbursts off sound and movement.MORE

I love MAC but, but some of their shadows r pretty doopable, so i try 2 get colors that i cant find in any other brands, & shadowy lady is 1 of them, so far i didnt find any similar colors 2 it, & its difficult 2 find a true deep matt purple that creats the perfect smoky purple eyes.
Glad that i have it n my collection.

Ok so.....its not bad i guess...
Its clearly much to dark for an all over lid colour...but if applied to heavy handed would make me look punched in the eye!!!
It came as part of the shadowy lady quad...and frankly no wouldnt get it again

Another deep wonderful MAC e/s for the lover of the smokey eye look! Shadowy Lady is a deep sultry plum that looks almost,but not quite black once applied. This color in the matte2 formulation would've been a dream! It applies nicely for a matte, blends well, and doesn't fade at all throughout the day. This would be complimentary to a variety of colors. It looks great with peach, gold and even better with softer neutrals to make it pop a little more. Definitely great on my brown eyes!!

The only reason I have this shadow is because I found the shadowy lady quad @ the cco and was dying to try it. I purchased it thinking that I would luv the dark matte eggplant color thats shadowy lady is supposed to be. But on my skintone it was a mess. It came off as looking ruddy and just wrong. The worst part was not even the color its the texture. It is so cakey and dry and sooo hard to blend. I don't know if the quality of the shadow was compromised b/c it was @ the cco or b/c its in a quad & not a single pan but it just didn't work for me. The only good thing is I luv all the other colors in the palette esp Deep Truth.

Alright so I got this in the Shadowy Lady quad...and I actually didn't really care about this shade and was more interested in the others. Although Shadowy Lady look like a dark plum...it really does not apply that way. On my pale skin even swatching the color it appears to be a muddy brownish black color.
It is not the best at applying, and isn't as smooth as much as I like my shadows to be. It seriously is not unique at all...and this is the only shadow that I cracked when I was traveling, frankly I'm not sad about that, only sad that my palate doesn't look perfect anymore.

its a deep purple/ plum/ burgundy.
goes well with any colour i think, especialy purples and browns . i love to use it as an alternative to black because it is so dark and it it is realy nice for a smokey eye or as a liner it realy makes brown eyes pop.
i also realy like this as a dark lip colour!

Shadowy Lady is a dark-ish purple in the pan, but I find that when applied onto the skin it becomes more of a brownish-black. It is a very unusual colour. I tend to use it as a liner, for something a little different to black or plain brown. Sometimes I really like Shadowy Lady, other times I consider chucking it. I can't quite put my finger on what I like or don't like about it. I think it would look nice paired with more purpley shadows, but it complements browns quite nicely too. I wouldn't repurchase simply because I don't use it enough to ever run out.

My everyday eyeshadow! Along with Knight Divine. Great for just a color on the outter V, and a little bit blended into the crease. I LOVE IT! It's a really dark plum color, very very close to black. It's flattering on my skintone, and I hope it never gets discontinued because it's my HG dark smokey looking eyeshadow!

I liked the idea of a super dark plum smoky look so I bought this one.The colour you see is a very dark almost black plum color,the color you get it's another story.....First of all the texture is so dry that is very difficult to blend this color.The color has nothing to do with plum colors on my skin at least looks a washed off black color to see the plum color you have to use a microscope.Even with a purple base the color was the same washed off black.The quality is the worst I v ever seen.Major fall out,very difficult to blend,very dry finish,Major creasing problems.Don't even bother buying this you can mix a purple eyeshadow with a black one and there you go!Other wise I m sure that estee lauder has a very similar color I m not 100% sure but I think that is called amethyst if not forgive me but I m sure that Estee Lauder has an exactly same color with quality FAR FAR away better from this one

I started a thread a few days ago about buying a DSLR. Well I pulled the trigger on a Canon EOS Rebel SL1 DSLR Camera Kit with 18-55mm and 75-300mm Lenses, and now want to know about lenses. From what I've read, the 75-300mm isn't great, but I bought the package because it was a great deal (like $40 more than with only the 18-55). If anything I can sell it and upgrade.
Here's two I've been looking at:
Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II Lens
Sigma 18-200mm f/3.5-6.3 II DC OS HSM Lens for Canon
Thoughts on these? Any other budget lens (college student here) suggestions?
Thanks for helping!

NFL star and former Rocket Bruce Gradkowski opens fine dining restaurantWritten by Sarah Ottney | Editor in Chief | firstname.lastname@example.com
The lessons quarterback Bruce Gradkowski learned on the football field at the University of Toledo have translated into his current NFL career and his next venture — opening a restaurant in Toledo.
Gradkowski's, slated to open in early December, will be part of UT's Gateway Project, a grouping of shops and apartments near the intersection of Secor Road and Dorr Street.
"A lot of the same things I learned through football are the same things you have to apply in business," Gradkowski told Toledo Free Press Star during a recent visit to Toledo. It was a bye week for the Cincinnati Bengals, for whom Gradkowski is backup quarterback. "You have to be disciplined, you have to work hard, you have to work as a team. You've got to be detailed."
"I've learned just how much goes into it. Nothing comes easy, but to be successful we have to put a lot of time and hard work in and we understand that. That's the way UT raised me in college, making me realize that."
Gradkowski's partners in the venture are Singh Grewal, owner of Arnie's on Levis, and Mike Graber, most recently managing partner at Biaggi's in Levis Commons.
Graber will be in charge of daily operations as well as future site development, but Gradkowski said he is closely involved in decisions.
"My partners and I, the three of us, we collaborate on everything," Gradkowski said. "The thing I like is we don't have egos. We put the egos aside and whatever idea works best, we're going to talk about it, see what we think and go at it."
Gradkowski met Graber while planning his 2011 wedding rehearsal dinner at Biaggi's. He met Grewal, who played football at UT in the '90s, at The Ale House, a bar Grewal owned near campus that was popular with students.
"We're really excited to have him," Grewal said of Graber. "His expertise with high-end food and the way he runs his restaurants — having him join our team is a very, very exciting thing for us."
Gradkowski's will focus on fresh, made-from-scratch dishes featuring an array of "tempting appetizers, hand-cut steaks, pastas, specialty pizzas, salads, burgers and decadent desserts," Graber said.
"We're going over and above in every category of food," he said.
The wine list will feature wines from small vineyards worldwide.
"We have been tasting the wines for the menu for six months now and every one is deserving of a reserve list, but we will pour all of them by the glass," Graber said.
The atmosphere will be warm, featuring natural woods and neutral colors, with signed photos of University of Toledo legends and local sports figures adorning a dedicated wall in the eatery, Graber said. There will be televisions to watch games and two private rooms for functions.
"Everthing we are doing is based on creating a memorable experience," Graber said. "From your food to your service and environment to the garnish on your cocktail, we have put a lot of care into every decision made."
Great food, great atmosphere
Gradkowski said his main focus is offering great food and a great atmosphere, which will draw people from campus and surrounding areas.
"I want college kids to come in and feel like they're important, they're grown-up, they're mature, like, wow, they are eating at a nice place. I want people to feel special, because they belong, because this is their place just as much as it is my place," Gradkowski said.
"We think of the people on campus, and we think of Ottawa Hills, Sylvania. It's a chance to bring them on campus to show people who haven't been here for a while how beautiful it is."
Gradkowski and his wife, Miranda, met at UT and recently bought a house in Maumee, where they live during the offseason.
"UT's been so great to me throughout my career here and I've loved the campus and that's why my wife and I can call this place home," Gradkowski said. "I'm super excited to have a restaurant going up because now it ties me to the university even more."
Matt Schroeder, vice president of real estate and business development at The UT Foundation, said he's thrilled to work with Gradkowski and his partners.
"It's going to be fantastic to have Bruce open just in time for the bowl season and also the NFL playoffs and NBA basketball," Schroeder said. "His timing couldn't be better."
Neither Gradkowski nor Schroeder remember who approached who, but both feel the venture is a perfect match.
"Once we had an opportunity to sit down with Bruce and hear his passion for the university and see his willingness and desire to not only give back to the university, but also this part of Toledo, we were hooked early on," Schroeder said. "He's not only looking at it through the eyes of a business investor or entrepreneur, but also through the eyes of a UT graduate. That passion along with his willingness to take some risks really impressed us and made us want to work with him."
The Gateway Project also includes a Barnes & Noble, Starbucks, Jimmy John's, Yogurt U, Great Clips, Rice Blvd., Wireless Zone and Lofts at Gateway.
"We at the university are very pleased with the feedback we've heard about Gateway, not only verbal feedback, but feedback at the register and the amount of foot traffic that's out there on a daily basis. That's been very rewarding,"
Schroeder said. "It will transform not only that part of campus, but that part of Toledo."
Once Gradkowski's opens, Gateway will be at 82 percent occupancy, Schroeder said. There are three spaces still available for lease, with one tenant to be announced as soon as this month.
It was originally announced Gradkowski's would open in August, but Gradkowski said he would rather do things right than rush to open.
"My goal and my plan is to be here for 30 years," Gradkowski said. "This isn't just some couple-year thing where we're trying to come in quick. We want to help the university out and make this campus grow, so we want to make sure we're building it right and having everything done right now, so it can last for as long as we want to be here."
Grewal agreed.
"It's going to be a University of Toledo landmark," Grewal said. "I can tell when a legend is born. I knew the same thing about Bruce. I know him as a person and as a friend and he's just one of the greatest guys UT has ever had. Having gone to all the places he's gone and then to come back to Toledo and give it back to UT, that's a huge thing for the University of Toledo and for the city of Toledo. I 100 percent believe it's gonna kick some butt there and it's going to be big for this university."
Gradkowski, who grew up in Pittsburgh, said UT was the only school to offer him a Division I football scholarship and he knew it was a good fit as soon as he visited campus. He graduated with a major in business marketing and management and was drafted by the NFL in 2006.
"The moment I stepped foot on campus, I thought, 'This was exactly what I wanted'," Gradkowski said. "Now that I'm older I realize football can end any day now and I'm glad I have my degree."
Gradkowski said hard work will be what sets him apart and gives Gradkowski's staying power.
"I've always felt if you do it right, you'll succeed. There's no shortcuts to success," Gradkowski said. "It's great how God works that he put this opportunity of a restaurant in front of us. He's really blessed us.
"It will be like 'Cheers,' where everybody knows your name," Gradkowski said, breaking into song and then laughing. "I hope people love the food and the atmosphere and just come away with a great experience."

Leicester City's David Nugent close to club record as the penalties keep coming
Posted: January 14, 2014|
David Nugent is proving to be spot on for Leicester City and is one successful spot-kick away from equalling the club record for most penalties converted in the season.
Nugent took his personal goals tally for the campaign to 16 with his double in the 4-1 demolition of Derby on Friday night.
His second goal was his ninth successful penalty of the season.
That puts him just one behind City's all-time most prolific penalty taker Arthur Rowley, who scored 10 penalties during the 1952-53 campaign.
Related content
But Nugent still has a long way to go to match Rowley's overall record for City.
Between 1950 and 1958, Rowley scored 41 penalties (38 in the league and three in the FA Cup).
However, when Nugent fired his second-half spot-kick past Derby kepper Lee Grant on the way to an impressive win against the Rams, it meant City have equalled the club record for penalties converted in a single season.
City have so far scored 11 from 13 penalties awarded, with Chris Wood and Paul Konchesky adding to Nugent's tally of nine from 11 attempts.
That equals City's return from the 1985-86 season when they scored 10 in the league and one in the FA Cup, and missed a further four.
The scorers that season were Steve Lynex (seven), Gary McAllister (three) and Ian Banks.
City's all-time leading penalty scorers are alongside.

The Puma: DMM's First Female Specific Puma Harnessadded May/2010, see all DMM news & reviews
announcement by DMM
This announcement has been read 5,504 times
The Puma, DMM's first female specific climbing harness, has similar styling and features to the popular unisex Renegade harness, but it has some very subtle changes in sizing and ratios of dimensions to ensure the best possible female fit.
A great deal of effort has gone into getting the sizing, waist-belt shape and rise (crotch to waist distance) configured specifically to suit the female anatomy. This is because quite often the rise between women's leg loops and the waist belt is longer. We've had the ladies at DMM, local female climbers and sponsored women climbers involved throughout the design process.
The Puma is a dedicated female equivalent of our top-of-the-range Renegade, it is an all-round harness which excels for bolt clipping, trad routes, and winter days out.
- Padded adjustable shaped leg loops with structural binding for greater comfort and support
- 6 high capacity diagonal gear loops plus central rear loop
- Twin hypalon ice screw racking system
- Free floating waist belt for perfectly centered racking
- 20mm belay loop rated at 25kN

The "Little Rock Nine": Where Are They Now?*

Historians of the Central High Crisis and Little Rock's Working- Class Whites: A Review Essay
They didn't start out being known as the Little Rock Nine but now they are in America's history books together. Here is a brief glimpse at these former students and what they are doing today, 40 years after this momentous year.
These nine students are unanimous in proclaiming the true heroes of the crisis at Central High School were their parents, who supported them and kept the faith that the process was right and that what they endured would give them opportunities they deserved.
Ernest Green
In 1958, he became the first black student to graduate from Central High School. He graduated from Michigan State University and served as Assistant Secretary of Housing and Urban Affairs under President Jimmy Carter. He currently is a managing partner and vice president of Lehman Brothers in Washington, D.C.
Elizabeth Eckford
The only one of the nine still living in Little Rock, Elizabeth made a career of the U.S. Army that included work as a journalist. In 1974, she returned to the home in which she grew up and is now a part-time social worker and mother of two sons.
Jefferson Thomas
He graduated from Central in 1960, following a year in which Little Rock's public high schools were ordered closed by the legislature to prevent desegregation. Today, he is an accountant with the U.S. Department of Defense and lives in Anaheim, Calif.
Dr. Terrence Roberts
Following the historic year at Central, his family moved to Los Angeles where he completed high school. He earned a doctorate degree and teaches at the University of California at Los Angeles and Antioch College. He also is a clinical psychologist.
Carlotta Walls Lanier
One of only three of the nine who eventually graduated from Central, she and Jefferson Thomas returned for their senior year in 1959. She graduated from Michigan State University and presently lives in Englewood, Colorado, where she is in real estate.
Minnijean Brown Trickey
She was expelled from Central High in February, 1958, after several incidents, including her dumping a bowl of chili on one of her antagonists in the school cafeteria. She moved with her husband to Canada during the Vietnam War protests of the 1960s and today is a writer and social worker in Ontario. Winterstar Productions is presently filming a documentary on her life.
Gloria Ray Karlmark
She graduated from Illinois Technical College and received a post-graduate degree in Stockholm, Sweden. She was a prolific computer science writer and at one time successfully published magazines in 39 countries. Now retired, she divides her time between homes in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, and Stockholm, where her husband's family lives.
Thelma Mothershed-Wair
She graduated from college, then made a career of teaching. She lives in Belleville, Illinois, where she is a volunteer in a program for abused women.
Melba Pattillo Beals --- visit her website
A Congressional Medal winner and member of the Little Rock Nine, Melba is a motivational keynote speaker and diversity trainer. She is an author and former journalist for People magazine and NBC and lives in San Francisco.

Girl on the outside, The
Author: Walter, Mildred Pitts
Eva Collins, selected as one of the first Black students to integrate Chatman High School, is reluctantly befriended by Sophia Stuart, a white girl, when Eva is trapped by a mob of angry whites.
New York: Scholastic, 1992, copyright 1982, 147 p.
Reviews for this Title:
Kirkus Reviews Based on an incident that occurred during the 1954 desegregation of a Little Rock high school, this follows two girls through the last few days of summer vacation and the opening of school. Sophia, a white senior, is fearful and resentful of the coming invasion of her high school by nine black students. Ending her summer job at the dime store, she keeps a black girl waiting while she waits on whites who come in later. Atypically, Sophia has a journalist older brother and an incipient beau, a college boy, both of whom favor integration--but Sophia does not soften. As the days go by, she becomes more confused and jumpy, as well as touchy toward the black stable hand and the family's black maid, whose presence she has always taken for granted. Eva, one of the nine students designated to switch from Carver to the white school, is a sophomore with average marks but a firm understanding of what she's doing. She is also the girl Sophia kept waiting at the store. Eva prepares for school calmly, sewing a dress for the first day; but she becomes uneasy and uncertain as the Governor's speech, the judge's decision, the arrival of the Guard (and of ugly out-of-town whites), and the advice of NAACP lawyers keep changing the plans of her group. The only one of the nine without a phone, Eva misses the last change of plans and shows up at school. . . to be barred by the soldiers she thought were there to protect her, and then surrounded by the angry crowd. At that point Sophia comes to her defense and, though both girls are spit upon, helps her escape by bus. In reality, as Walter's afterword notes, it was a nonsouthern white teacher from a Little Rock black college who befriended the trapped girl. The change makes a better idea for a YA novel, and Walter shows some understanding of both girls' feelings and situations. She never goes beyond predictable portrayals of either, though, and she doesn't handle the tension of the situation nearly as compellingly as have non-fiction chroniclers of desegregation struggles. So, if subject-interest suggests a fictional version, this will serve--but it's not a strong novel.

The Little Rock Nine
Other Congressional Gold Medal Winners
Members of the Little Rock Nine, as the group was called, are now middle-aged and have followed different paths since those turbulent days. But their collective act of bravery as teen-agers in 1957 has brought them together again -- this time at a White House ceremony.
'I did not expect the violence'
Melba Pattillo Beals hasn't forgotten the jeers and threats she and the eight others faced from whites as they integrated Central High after being kept out for three weeks. But a city's racism has now been traded for a nation's accolades.
"The most beautiful part of this medal is that a diverse Congress voted for it," said Beals, a 58-year-old writer now living in Sausalito, California "Not one black man, or one white man, or one woman, but everyone (in Congress) voted for it."
Beals says the the medal means a lot to her because it has been bestowed by a Congress diverse in race and gender
Beals remembered what it was like to integrate her state capital city's high school three years after the Supreme Court's ruling, in Brown vs. Board of Education of Topeka, Kansas, ended deliberate racial division of the nation's schools.
But on that first day -- September 4, 1957 -- Beals and her companions did not make it into the building -- the group was blocked by units of the Arkansas National Guard, called out by the state's segregationist governor, Orval Faubus; and an angry white mob threatened violence.
"It was a very painful moment for me," Beals told CNN. "And what made it more painful was the thought that these are people willing to kill me to stop their children from sitting beside me."
The second day, the black students made it inside Central High, but had to be pulled after two hours. "I did not expect anywhere near the confusion, the trouble, the violence," recalls Jefferson Thomas, one of the nine.
Thomas says the violence surprised him
For three weeks, they were kept away until President Dwight Eisenhower sent in Army troops to escort the students to class.
Remembering Daisy Bates
The students were teen-agers and just wanted to belong, Beals said, and their adult adviser Daisy Bates did everything she could to make them feel as if they did.
"She was a fireball," Beals said of Bates, who died Thursday at age 84.
The long-planned White House ceremony unexpectedly conflicted with Tuesday's funeral for Bates, who had brought the youngsters to her home before their walk to school for encouragement that helped them face the taunts and jeers.
Beals said Ernest Green, another of the Nine, returned to Little Rock on Monday to pay the group's respects before returning to Washington for the medal ceremony.
"She would not want to stop us at anything," Beals said in a telephone interview. "She would have said, 'Go for it.'"
The civilian congressional medals are approved by votes in the House and the Senate.
They have been bestowed to more than 100 people, including Rosa Parks, Nelson Mandela, Billy Graham, Colin Powell, Mother Teresa and Winston Churchill.
It's prestigious company for nine teen-agers who defined a moment in a movement. "I am humbled and overwhelmed to be in this group of people," said Beals.

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- More than four decades after facing what one civil rights leader called "a volcano of hatred," the black students who -- guarded by U.S. Army troops -- integrated Central High School in Little Rock, Arkansas, were honored Tuesday with the Congressional Gold Medal -- the nation's highest civilian honor.
Members of the Little Rock Nine, as the group was called, are now middle-aged and have followed different paths since those turbulent days. But their collective act of bravery as teen-agers in 1957 has brought them together again -- this time at a White House ceremony.
"Today, we celebrate the faith of our founders, the faith of parents in their children, the faith of children in their future. We celebrate it because we can. And we can because these nine people helped us to keep it alive," said President Clinton.
The president also noted that on the 10th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall, recognition was being given to "what these people did to make the walls of bigotry and prejudice fall in America."

Other Congressional Gold Medal Winners
Clinton noted that the medals came from Congress and he thanked the lawmakers for allowing the ceremony to be held at the White House because of his relationship with the recipients from his home state.
Sen. Tim Hutchinson (R-Arkansas) praised the nine honorees for demonstrating "grace in the face of hatred, poise in the face of tumult and courage in the face of violence."
Opportunity to change their destiny
"We were really ordinary people and we really owe a debt of gratitude to (their adviser) Daisy Bates and to our parents," said Ernest Green, who spoke for all of the Little Rock Nine at the ceremony.
Green said it was a special day for the group. And, he said, although it had been a long journey for them to reach the medal ceremony, he thought each of them would consider their great sacrifices worthwhile.

"We realized in 1957 that this was not an easy journey. It was one in which we thought we were simply exercising our right to the best education that was available in Little Rock, Arkansas," noted Green.
He said he hoped their story would inspire some young person in the future to believe that they have the "opportunity to change their life and their destiny."

Eisenhower's son, daughter-in-law and granddaughter attended Tuesday's medal ceremony after witnessing Clinton sign legislation naming the Old Executive Office Building the Dwight D. Eisenhower Executive Office Building.
Remembering Daisy Bates
Bates, seen here in 1957, died Thursday. During Tuesday's ceremony a moment of silence was observed in her honor
The students were teen-agers at the time of the controversy and just wanted to belong, Beals said, and their adult adviser, Daisy Bates, did everything she could to make them feel as if they did.

It was Bates who said the nine had been forced to face a "volcano of hatred" at Central High in 1957.
Green asked for a moment of silence during his speech Tuesday to remember and honor Bates.
Beals said Green had traveled to Little Rock one day earlier to pay the group's respects before returning to Washington for the medal ceremony.
"She would not want to stop us at anything," Beals said in a telephone interview. "She would have said, 'Go for it.'"

Also in 1999 these nine brave individuals banded together once more to form the
Little Rock Nine Foundation, an organization dedicated to furthering the cause of
quality public education for all students.
The United States Postal Service honored the Little Rock Nine in August 2005 with
a commemorative stamp; it was one of ten stamps in the "To Form a More Perfect
Union" series commemorating a variety of civil rights milestones. The stamp
features George Hunt's painting America Cares (1997).
A bronze memorial that pays homage to the Little Rock Nine was unveiled on the
grounds of the Arkansas State Capitol the same day the commemorative stamp was
released. Named "Testament," it consists of life-size bronze figures of the nine
students and quotes from each on bronze plaques. It is the first civil rights memorial
to be placed on the grounds of a state capitol in the United States. The memorial was
designed by Little Rock artists Kathy and John Deering.
The United States Mint honored the Little Rock Nine with a commemorative silver
dollar in July 2007. The obverse (front) of the coin features a view of the feet of the
students, escorted by a United States soldier, walking toward school below a row of
nine symbolic stars. The reverse of the coin features a rendition of Little Rock
Central High School as it appeared in 1957.

The image of 15-year-old Elizabeth Eckford, walking alone through a screaming
mob in front of Central High School, catapulted the Central High School crisis into the
nation's living rooms and brought international attention to Little Rock. On September 4,
1957, Elizabeth arrived at Central alone. The nine students were supposed to go together,
but their meeting place was changed the previous night. The Eckford family had no
phone, and group mentor Daisy Bates intended to go to their home early the next morning
but never made it. As a result, Elizabeth got off the bus alone a block from the school and
tried to enter the campus twice, only to be turned away both times by Arkansas National
Guard troops, there under orders from Governor Faubus. Elizabeth then confronted an
angry mob of people (men, women, and teenagers) chanting "Two, four, six, eight, we
ain't gonna integrate." Elizabeth silently made her way through the crowd and sat on a
bus bench at the end of the block. She was eventually able to board a city bus, and went
to her mother's workplace.
Because all of the city's high schools were closed the following year, Elizabeth did not
graduate from Central High School. Rather, she joined the U.S. Army and earned her
G.E.D. She returned to Little Rock in the 1960s to be closer to her family. She later
attended Central State University in Wilberforce, Ohio. Elizabeth is an Army veteran and
has held a variety of jobs throughout her life, including a waitress, history teacher,
welfare worker, unemployment interviewer and military reporter.
In 1997 Elizabeth Eckford shared the Father Joseph Biltz Award, presented by the
National Conference for Community and Justice, with Hazel Bryan Massery, a
segregationist classmate who appears in the famous Will Counts photograph. During the
reconciliation rally of the same year, the two former adversaries made speeches together.
They were recognized for contributing to the organization's mission of promoting
understanding and respect through advocacy and education.

Ernest Green was a senior when he enrolled in Central High School for the 1957-58
school year. He was the first of the nine to graduate and was the first African-American
student to graduate from Central High School. Sitting with Green family at the event was
the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., who attended the graduation ceremonies as a guest
of the Green family.
Ernest earned a bachelor's degree and a master's degree from Michigan State University.
He served as the director for the A. Phillip Randolph Education Fund from 1968 to 1977.
He then was appointed Assistant Secretary of Labor for Employment and Training under
President Jimmy Carter; he also served as Chairman of the Historically Black Colleges
and Universities Capital Financing Advisory Board and Chairman of the African
Development Foundation under President Clinton. Ernest is Managing Director of Public
Finance at Lehman Brothers in Washington, D.C., and has been with the company since
1987. He has served on numerous boards including the NAACP and the Winthrop
Rockefeller Foundation.
In 1992 Disney produced a television movie, The Ernest Green Story, which still is
popular with students of all ages and is used in classrooms around the world to teach
about desegregation and the Little Rock Nine.

Despite daily torment from white students at Central, Thelma Mothershed Wair
completed her junior year at the formerly all-white high school during the tumultuous
1957-58 year. Despite the fact that she had a cardiac condition since birth, she had a nearperfect
record for attendance. Because all the high schools in Little Rock were closed in
1958-59, Wair earned the necessary credits for graduation through correspondence
courses and by attending summer school in St. Louis, Missouri. She received her diploma
from Central High School by mail.
Thelma graduated from Southern Illinois University and taught home economics in East
St. Louis, Illinois. She earned a master's degree in guidance & counseling from Southern
Illinois University in 1970. She taught in the East St. Louis School System for 28 years
before retiring in 1994. Wair also has worked at the St. Clair County Jail, Juvenile
Detention Center in St. Clair County, Illinois, and was an instructor of survival skills for
women at the American Red Cross Second Chance Shelter for the Homeless. During the
1989-1990 school year, Thelma was honored as an Outstanding Role Model by the East
St. Louis chapter of the Top Ladies of Distinction and the Early Childhood-Pre-
Kindergarten staff of District 189.

Melba Pattillo Beals faced daily harassment from white students at Central High
School. The soldier that was assigned to protect her told her, "In order to get through this
year, you will have to become a soldier. Never let your enemy know what you are
feeling." Melba, whose mother was the first African American to attend the University of
Arkansas, took his advice and finished the school year. She moved to Santa Rosa,
California, for her senior year of high school when Central and the other three Little Rock
high schools were closed. Melba received a bachelor's degree from San Francisco State
University. She earned a graduate degree in communications from Columbia University,
worked as a reporter for NBC and currently works as a communications consultant.
Melba is the only one of the Little Rock Nine to have written a book based on her
experiences at Central High School; it is titled Warriors Don't Cry: A Searing Memoir of
the Battle to Desegregate Little Rock's Central High School. The book was named an
ALA Notable Book for 1995 and won the Robert F. Kennedy Book Award that same
year. She also wrote White is a State of Mind in 1999, which follows Melba from her
senior year in high school to her college and family days in California. She currently is
chair of African-American History at Dominican University.

Gloria Ray Karlmark was just 14 years old when she finished Dunbar Junior High
School and registered to attend Central for her sophmore year. Ray, like the others, was
tormented by certain white students who called her names and even pushed her down a
flight of stairs. Still, like the others, she was determined to finish the year. Her mother, a
woman with two university degrees and who worked as a sociologist for the State of
Arkansas, was fired by Governor Faubus when she refused to withdraw Gloria from
Central High. The following year when all the public high schools in Little Rock
remained closed, Gloria moved to Missouri where her mother had been able to find
employment. She attended the newly integrated Kansas City Central High School. Gloria
attended Illinois Institute of Technology (IIT) in Chicago, graduating in 1965 with a
bachelor's degree in Chemistry and Mathematics. She worked briefly as a public school
teacher and laboratory research assistant at the University of Chicago Research Medical
In 1966 Gloria joined the IIT Research Institute as Assistant Mathematician on the APT
IV (robotics) project. Her career has been varied, including working at the IBM Nordic
Laboratory in Sweden, working as a patent attorney for IBM International Patent
Operations; serving as Editor-in-Chief of Computers in Industry, an international journal
of practice and experience of computer applications in industry; and Philips International.
She retired in 1994.

Dr. Terrence Roberts was a sophomore at Horace Mann High School when he
volunteered to integrate Central High School. When the high schools were closed during
the 1958-59 school year, he moved to Los Angeles and graduated from Los Angeles High
School in 1959. He earned a bachelor's degree in sociology from California State
University and went on to graduate school at UCLA where he received a master's degree
in social welfare in 1970. He received a Ph.D. in psychology from Southern Illinois
University in 1976.
Dr. Roberts became director of the mental health unit of St. Helena Hospital in Deer
Park, CA. He later became assistant dean of the UCLA School of Social Welfare. As
demands on his time increased, he became program co-chair to concentrate on the
activities of his management consulting firm. He currently is chair of the master's in
psychology program at Antioch College in Los Angeles and runs a private psychology
practice in Pasadena. He travels widely as a sought-after speaker and consultant and is
CEO of the management consulting firm Terrence J. Roberts & Associates, and he serves
as a desegregation consultant for the Little Rock School District. He serves on the boards
of the Economic Resources Center in Southern California, Pacific Oaks College in
Pasadena, the Eisenhower World Affairs Institute and the Little Rock Nine Foundation.
ABC's Good Morning, America brought Dr. Roberts and former Arkansas governor
Orval Faubus face to face on May 17, 1979. He told Mr. Faubus, "I really feel it was a
violation of public trust to practice your own personal policies of racism in that position.
You endangered not only my life, but the lives of hundreds of other people, both black
and white."

Jefferson Thomas was a track athlete at Horace Mann High School before enrolling
at Central as a sophomore, where his quiet demeanor made him an easy target for the
bullies at school. He graduated from Central High School in 1960. He attended Wayne
State University in Detroit and Los Angeles State College, where he received his
bachelor's degree. He worked as an accountant for the U.S. Department of Defense in
Columbus; he retired in 2004. A Vietnam veteran, Jefferson resides in Columbus, Ohio.
He received an honorary "Doctor of Humane Letters" from Ohio Dominican University
in 2001.
Jefferson is a frequent speaker at high schools, colleges and universities. He served as a
mentor in the Village to Child Program co-sponsored by Ohio Dominican University. He
continues to serve as a mentor and also serves on the Board of Directors for the City of
Refuge Learning Academy at the First Church of God.

Carlotta Walls LaNier was the youngest of the Little Rock Nine. Inspired by Rosa
Parks, she had a desire to get the best education available by enrolling in Central High
School. White students called her names and spat on her while armed guards escorted her
to classes, but Carlotta concentrated on her studies and protected herself throughout the
school year. She graduated from Central High School in 1960. She attended Michigan
State University and Colorado State College (now the University of Northern Colorado)
and worked with teenagers at the YWCA. In 1977 she began LaNier and Company, a real
estate brokerage firm.
Carlotta is the president of the Little Rock Nine Foundation, an organization committed
to ensuring that future generations have access to quality education, and she is a member
of the Urban League and the NAACP. Carlotta has served as a trustee for the Iliff School
of Theology and the University of Northern Colorado.
Carlotta was named a "Woman of Distinction" by the Girl Scouts in 2000, and she was
inducted into the Colorado Women's Hall of Fame in 2004. She recently received the
National Shining Star Award from NOBEL/Women (National Organization of Black
Elected Legislative Women).

We love hearing our customer's heartfelt stories! If you have a story you'd like to share with us, email us at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Whose day did you make? My husband and I decided to try Treat for Mother's Day cards this year. It was awesome! In less time than it would have taken us to pick out a card (because we both stand there for 15 minutes trying to find the right one), we were able to customize cards and send them to their door! Our moms were so thrilled to see their newest granddaughter on the cards.
Were they pleasantly surprised? They each were brought to tears and still refuse to take the cards off the fridge!

CARROLLTON, Ga. -- The Bates College baseball team again made a respectable showing on Friday at the University of West Georgia, dropping both ends of a doubleheader against the Division 2 Wolves by scores of 7-3 in Game 1 and 11-10 in Game 2, a day after losing 12-11 to West Georgia.
In Game 1, the Bobcats (2-4) took a 3-2 lead into the fifth inning after scoring once in the first, third and fourth innings. Sophomore Pat Murphy (Cape Elizabeth, Maine) scored in the first by singling, stealing second, advancing to third on a ground ball and coming home on a wild pitch. In the second, sophomore Noah Burke (Appleton, Maine) led off with a single and later came home on a single by Murphy. In the fourth, sophomore Rich Velotta (Fairfield, Conn.) doubled and scored on a single by first-year Michael Ciummei (Acton, Mass.).
But the Wolves plated two runs in the fifth off of first-year starter Karl Alexander (Cambridge, Mass.) and three more in the sixth off of senior reliever Chuck Murphy-Romboletti (Holyoke, Mass.) to sew up the seven-inning win.
Bates matched West Georgia in hits in Game 1 with 10 apiece. Noah Burke went 3-3 in the game, while Ciummei went 2-3 and Murphy was 2-4.
In Game 2, Bates roared back from an 8-3 Wolves lead, achieved mostly with five runs in the first inning, with seven runs in the sixth. The Bobcats loaded the bases as senior Matt Devin (Bridgewater, Mass.) drew a leadoff walk, followed by singles by Ciummei and sophomore Luke Wamboldt (Sunderland, Mass.). Junior Tom Beaton (West Newbury, Mass.) drew a one-out walk to score Devin, then Murphy plated both Ciummei and Wamboldt with an infield single. Murphy stole second, and sophomore Chris Burke (Andover, Mass.) drove Beaton and Murphy home with a single to right center. Walks drawn by sophomore Jake Simon (Waterford, Conn.) and Devin, on his second trip to the plate in the inning, set up a two-run single through the left side by Ciummei, putting the Bobcats ahead 10-8. The rally ended with bases loaded for Bates.
West Georgia wouldn't go down without a fight, however. The Wolves scored three runs in the bottom of the sixth to go ahead 11-10, and Bates was unable to respond in the top of the seventh, giving the Wolves the three-game sweep.
Bates again rapped out 10 hits in Game 2 against West Georgia's 15, with Murphy leading the way by going 2-4 with two RBIs and three runs. Ciummei went 2-2 with two RBIs and a run, while Simon went 2-3 with a run and an RBI. Wamboldt went 2-4.
First-year reliever Will Furbush (South Portland, Maine) accepted the loss for Bates, as he was charged with West Georgia's final run in getting the final two outs of the sixth for Bates. First-year Tyler Kuehl (Plymouth, N.H.) pitched an effective four innings in relief of first-year starter Demetrios Gatzogiannis (Wells, Maine), allowing only one earned run on five hits.
Bates' Georgia trip concludes on Saturday with a doubleheader at Oglethorpe University in Atlanta, starting at 1 p.m.
Game 1 Stats: West Georgia 7, Bates 3

Insulting The French President Is No Longer Always A Crime
By editor
Originally published on Fri July 26, 2013 5:33 am
Good morning, I'm David Greene.
Next time you're in France, if you're moved to call the country's president stupid, it's OK. It's no longer a crime. Yesterday, the French parliament got rid of an old law from the 1880s that made insulting the president in public an automatic criminal offense. That's good news for former President Nicolas Sarkozy. He apparently called his successor, President Francois Hollande, a, quote, "ridiculous little fat man who dyes his hair."

The Johannesburg-based team concluded their fixtures in the 2012 competition on Friday by beating Border 67-15 at Coca-Cola Park, but now have to wait and see whether their 27 log points will be enough to carry them into the play-offs.
The Free State Cheetahs (27 points) and Leopards (26 points) can both still pass the Lions on the log in the final week of the Absa Under-21 Provincial Championship.
The Cheetahs will host the Vodacom Blue Bulls in Bloemfontein, while the Leopards travel to Durban to play KwaZulu-Natal.
The Blue Bulls smashed KZN by 61-17 on Friday in Pretoria and with that secured the first place on the log. They have 46 points and cannot be overhauled anymore.
Either KZN (37) or DHL Western Province (36), who travel to East London to face the Bulldogs on Friday, will finish second and thereby claim hosting rights in the semi-finals, so both have much to play for.
For a detailed breakdown of the past weekend's matches, visit the results section of the website to view.

"Gone in 60 Seconds." The first chase scene in both the remake and the original "Gone in 60 Seconds" has a number of car accidents that should have killed our main characters, among others. If people were realistically being injured and dying in this movie, it would have earned an NC-17. But showmanship won out over realism, so we got stylish car movies instead.
"Bad Boys 2." Shockingly, driving a Hummer through a dilapidated 3rd world neighborhood of tin huts is not safe and would kill a lot of people, including the driver of the Humvee, making this scene at the end of "Bad Boys 2″ instantly qualify for this list. In the world of Michael Bay, this is standard operating procedure. thankfully, he's not in charge of the Department of Transportation.

Paul's Music Page
|So if you have been looking at the studio you probably are curious what sort of music I've been doing. This year has had a number of projects see completion, some are my own, some are by others.
Here are some CD covers that I did for some of the work. My label is still called Tune Farm, although the studio itself is called Firecrest A these days.
|This album is done under my pseudonym. It is all techno dance and a lot of people seem to like it. Mix 141 is my favorite of the album. Living in Europe has influenced me at least a little bit. I did the fractal in Fractint a couple of years ago.
|New for Christmas. This is one long ambient loop. Ian and Colin use it to get to sleep, we used to kind of meditate to it.
I originally sequenced this in 1991, but it needed a redo and with the new sampler, and the mixer, and on a CD, it seems to work better.
It's the kind of music you can ignore, which I don't know if people normally are proud of that, but that's what it was made for.
|This album is a board recording of the performance that the band I play in did on the first of November 2001 at a place in London called Dingwall's.
Overall it was a marvellous recording, and considering we're not in any way a professional band, we managed to pull off a more professional gig than a lot of the pro bands that have played there, according to the staff.
Hieu Luu did the logo.
|This was last Christmas's major delivery to the world. I think we've got 30 or so copies of this out, which is better than usual distribution statistics. We ain't exactly EMI, you know.
This is a collection of stuff ranging around 20 years, so we got old 80's tunes some 90's stuff and even some 70's stuff too.
So you can see why I have all those old pictures on the cover.
|The guy whose band I play in kind of got me involved with recording and producing a demo for a very young North London band called Whitelie.
These guys are 16-17 years old and actually sound pretty good although I don't particularly agree with the music, but apparently they are getting a lot of PR and in a couple of years they'll have forgotten me ;^)
|This guy was the warm up act on the 1 November gig. He's from Lehmann Bros and I thought he was excellent.
I had asked the sound guy to run my minidisc for the opening act as well as us, so I actually got a good capture, and pulling it to CD wasn't much of a chore.
Hope to see this guy again.

4WD: Sorry about the delay, but I didn't see your reply. I uploaded a CBZ file I had on my own computer up to the site, it wasn't a CBZ that was online. Also, the CBZ file works fine in my own Comic Rack program.
Panzer: I'll check those out and see how well they work.
By the way, I was thinking that although I was looking for a comic book viewer that would let me delete files (images), I realized that another way to look at it is to find an archiver with the ability to see thumbnails of images. I'm not sure what version they added this with, but I found that WinZip v17 (Pro) includes this very capability. Problem solved. (yes, I know it's not free, but I haven't upgraded my WinZip since v6 which was in the early 1990's, so it was definitely about time.) Maybe this might help you guys, too.
Thanks again!

Tea Party Leader to Be Tried on Felony Charges Over Threatening Email to Elected Official
Before firing off that next email to an elected official, you'd better cross your fingers and hope the politician is not feeling anxious about your message.
A judge in Oklahoma Friday ordered the co-founder of the Sooner Tea Party to be tried on felony blackmail and computer crimes charges for sending an email to a state senator who said he felt threatened by its tone, The Associated Press reported.
More: Tea Party Leader to Be Tried on Felony Charges Over Email to Elected Official - BizPac Review
The RWNJs will jump all over the first line of the story about "not feeling anxious" and totally miss the entire story..
Gerhart's email demands that Branan give the measure a hearing, "or I will make sure you regret not doing it."
"I will make you the laughing stock of the Senate if I don't hear that this bill will be heard and passed," the email said. "We will dig into your past, your family, your associates, and once we start on you there will be no end to it."
Turns out that Gerhart isn't unknown to Branan.
The senator told an investigator that Gerhart was in a "Rolodex of crazy people" — not the first time tea party members have been classified in such a manner.
Gerhart argued that it was a First Amendment issue, the judge didn't see it that way.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1, 2005 A force of about 1,000 Marines, soldiers and sailors from Regimental Combat Team 2 today mounted an operation against a known terrorist sanctuary in the western Anbar province town of Sadah, in the al Qaim region approximately 12 kilometers from the Syrian border, Multinational Force Iraq officials reported today.
Operation Kabda Bil Hadid, or "Iron Fist" in English, began in the early morning hours to root out al Qaeda and Iraqi terrorists operating in the area and to disrupt terrorist support systems in and around the city.
For the past several months terrorists within Sadah have escalated their intimidation and murder campaign against the local populace and city government officials, officials said. The resulting effect was an increased ability to move freely within the area and a base for them to launch attacks against innocent civilians, Iraqi security forces and coalition forces, they said.
By interdicting foreign fighters flowing in from the Syrian border, the operation will also serve as a way to provide security for the Oct. 15 constitutional referendum, officials said.
As with all coalition operations, strict measures are being taken to prevent civilian casualties and unnecessary collateral damage to property, officials reported.
