The Future of Higher Education
November 16th, 2013
In May of 2012, Harvard and MIT announced a partnership to provide free courses to anyone, anywhere, sparking an intense debate about the future of a bricks and mortar education. With Good Reason shares highlights from University of Mary Washington's Open and Digital Learning Resources Conference, sponsored by the State Council for Higher Education, including a panel moderated by Jeffrey McClurken (University of Mary Washington) where experts weighed in on the future of higher education. Also featured: Gardner Campbell (Virginia Commonwealth University) argues that the pursuit of wisdom should be the teaching aim in all higher education. Colleen Taylor (Virginia State University, John Tyler Community College) is seeing improvements among her chemistry students after adopting the so-called "flipped classroom," where students watch her recorded lectures online and reserve classroom time for working on problems together in groups. Plus: We'll talk with author Ron Berler, who spent a year inside an elementary school deemed "failing" by No Child Left Behind. His experience is chronicled in the new book Raising the Curve: A Year Inside One of America's 45,000 Failing Public Schools.
4 Responses to "The Future of Higher Education"
"The Future of Higher Education" is timely–maybe, a professional discussion of the future of the SOLS–Standards of Learniing. (434)793-1659Joseph A. Salmon, Jr.
Thanks for your comment. In fact, we'll be featuring a very engaging interview in this show with Ron Berler, who spent a year embedded in a "failing school." Students at this elementary school in Connecticut are required to take standardized tests comparable to the SOLs. I think the interview with Berler is at least a good starting point for these kinds of discussions. Look for the show on our website this Friday, and I hope you'll let us know your thoughts here or through our social media channels.
Take care,
I would like to have the name of the book by Ron Berler.Nell
Hi Nell,
The title of Ron Berler's book is Raising the Curve: A Year Inside One of America's 45,000 Failing Public Schools.
Thanks for listening!

Puma Closes Out 2014 on Top
If it weren't for Nike releasing the Magista Obra and Mercurial Superfly, Puma would be dominating the boot releases for 2014. In most brands, they usually focus on one or two big releases and others fall to the side and are considered weak links. Puma have had such nice releases that is hard to find anything bad. The evoSpeed 1.3 has always flown under the radar of the Vapor IX and F50 Adizero, but this year the evoSpeed really held its own in the speed boot market. The new update of the Puma King offers a superior leather feel and is taking away some of the market for the 11Pro. The stud pattern on the King is one of the most durable on the market today. Finally, The new evoPower may be the best boot of the year. The new AdapLite upper stretches length-wise but not width-wise so your foot really is locked into the boot. After an incredible year, it will be worth watching what Puma rolls out in 2015, but it will be hard to top what they released in 2014! read the rest!

(ABC 6 NEWS) -- The Austin Police Department says the search of a home Tuesday afternoon started with a man being pulled over and officers finding drugs.
Following that stop, police were given a warrant to search the man's home on East Oakland Avenue. Inside they say they found meth and marijuana. They tell us he also had meth on him when he was pulled over.
41-year-old Scott Anderson was arrested. Police tell us he could face a charge of possession in a school zone because his house is located near Neveln Elementary.

Most everyone will complain of shoulder pain at some point in their life. There are many causes of this problem most commonly: rotator cuff tendonitis, and/or rotator cuff tears, labral tears, frozen shoulder (adhesive capsuliltis), shoulder instability, A-C separation (acromio-clavicular separation), and finally arthritis of the shoulder.
Some signs that you should seek expert help from a doctor or Physical Therapist for the treatment of your shoulder include:
- Inability to carry objects or use the arm
- Injury that causes deformity of the joint
- Shoulder pain that occurs at night or while resting
- Shoulder pain that persists beyond a few days
- Inability to raise the arm
- Swelling or significant bruising around the joint or arm
The treatment of shoulder pain depends on the cause of the problem. Therefore, it is very important to understand the cause of your symptoms before embarking on a treatment program. There are, however, some things that most everyone can do to maintain the health of their shoulder and minimize pain.
Exercise!: It may seem counter-intuitive. Your shoulder hurts, so your doctor or physical therapist recommends exercises. Yet, why go through more pain? The truth is that exercising an injured shoulder at the appropriate time and with the appropriate intensity will reduce and cure pain.
Practice Pilates to strengthen your core: Lack of core strength can lead to poor posture, specifically a rounded back and forward head. This creates a significant imbalance in the muscles of the shoulder and neck. Pilates is all about posture! The more you apply what you are learning in your pilates sessions to your daily life, the less chance of injury, and better chance for healing post injury! Pilates should help you gain the strength and flexibility you need to properly align your joints and body in order to minimize injury and allow your body to heal.
Two exercises that you can do at home are:
1. Rowing: Using a theraband, pull your elbows back, retracting your shoulder blades. Repeat between 10 and 30 times as you can tolerate without any discomfort. (Therabands are available for purchase at the studio.)
2. Wall push up: Face a wall with your hands on the wall and your feet about a foot apart. Slowly push out from the wall. Repeat 5 times, holding for a count of five. Repeat twice daily.
This is not a complete shoulder program, just and example of some shoulder exercises. We are happy to work with you individually to design a program that is appropriate for you!

Bailey told me during his interview that he may be up for "other things". He called me up and said he'd be up for getting a massage from a guy. So I set it up, and everything started out with a good massage. It was his first ever massage from a guy, that turned into his first hand job from a guy, and then his first Blow Job from a guy. I worked over Bailey's ass first, and could feel it twitch when I went past his hairy hole. Now of course these straight guys know that there's going to be a happy ending, but I told Bailey that Kendall may have to lick his balls if he's not totally hard. He laughed a little but said, "ah...ok", so I took that as a YES! We flip Bailey over, and Kendall of course didn't think he was hard enough, so he slides up the table and starts blowing Bailey! Bailey didn't make a move to stop him, so he just kept going. Next thing I know, Kendall has Bailey standing up and face fucking him! Kendall orders Bailey to "give me your cum", and Bail

ARCADIA, N.C. — Friedberg Elementary School made some changes Monday to prevent more accidents during school drop off and pick up at the intersection of Alice Court and Friedberg Church Road in Davidson County.
The intersection only gets congested two times a day, but according to the Highway Patrol that congestion caused an accident Friday and may have caused another one Tuesday of last week.
Monday, the principal and vice-principal directed traffic and had cars file two lines to wait in the parking lot instead of one, reducing the number of cars waiting to turn into the school from Friedberg Church Road.
Jenn Salmon, whose daughter Riley is a Friedberg student, witnessed Friday's accident.
"We were the next car in line," Salmon said. "[It was] horrible. The only thing you heard was just tires screeching, the glass breaking, the child and the parent screaming as they were being hit."
According to the Highway Patrol, there were no injuries from the accident.
Salmon said seeing it, though, was still unsettling. She suggested getting a sheriff's deputy to direct traffic.
"Wrecks can happen but it just seems it'd be less of a chance if we had help out here," Salmon said.

(Editor's Note #1: It's Day Two of Reader Request Week here at the Impulsive Buy. Today, we will be reviewing Jolly Time Mallow Magic microwave popcorn, which was requested by kirkkitsch at My So-Called Strife.
(Editor's Note #2: The winners for this month's prize drawing have been selected. See sidebar to find out who won.)
I'm skeptical of things that claim to be "magical.â€
For example, Magic Markers. I haven't found anything "magical†about them, except when I sniff them for too long, which causes me to "magically†prance around naked on all fours, pretending to be a pretty, pretty little pony.
Also, those Magic: The Gathering playing cards, they "magically†give my friend's little cousins the ability to totally kick my ass at something.
Finally, there's David Blaine, who claims to be a "magician,†but all the things he does isn't really magic, like stand on a flagpole for 35 hours, or spend seven days underwater in a see-through coffin, or live in a plastic box suspended over a river for 44 days, or stand at a truck-stop urinal and pee for 3 hours.
So I wasn't expecting much from the Jolly Time Mallow Magic microwave popcorn.
The concept of Mallow Magic is much like the Orville Redenbacher's Cinnabon Popcorn I reviewed earlier this month. It's microwave popcorn with a sweet creamy topping.
Also, like the Cinnabon Popcorn, each box of Mallow Magic comes with two bags of unpopped popcorn and two pouches of creamy marshmallow topping.
I liked the sweet Cinnabon Popcorn, so I was looking forward to trying the sweet marshmallowy taste of the Mallow Magic Popcorn. So I put the flat bag of popcorn into the microwave and set the time for 2 minutes and 30 seconds.
I carefully watched the flat bag of popcorn in the microwave. Then suddenly, I heard a pop. Then another. Then another. Then another. I looked at the bag of popcorn and I couldn't believe my eyes.
"Oh my God! The bag…It's growing in the microwave!†I yelled.
"I believe!!! I believe!!!â€
Yeah, whatever.
After I took the bag out of the microwave, I instantly noticed that it was slightly smaller than all other microwave popcorn bags I've seen. I looked at the Cinnabon Popcorn box and the Mallow Magic box, and it turned out that the Mallow Magic bag had about one-fifth less popcorn than the Cinnabon Popcorn bag.
So, of course, this meant less popcorn.
After I added the creamy marshmallow topping, I dug into what turned out to be a nice sweet treat, that I think tasted better than the Cinnabon Popcorn.
However, they were such a nice sweet treat, that I ate an entire bag in one sitting, while trying to NOT watch American Idol.
Item: Jolly Time Mallow Magic
Purchase Price: $2.00 (on sale)
Rating: 4 out of 5
Pros: A nice sweet treat. Like kettle corn, except a lot more messy. Popcorn has fiber.
Cons: Bags are smaller than most popcorn bags. Not magical, just like David Blaine.

The CW confirms to E! News that Hilary Duff is joining the cast of Gossip Girl for a multi-episode guest arc. As first reported by Michael Ausiello, Duff is set to play a girl named Olivia, Vanessa's (Jessica Szohr) new roommate at NYU, but that connection to V is not all that Olivia brings to the show.
Find out what we've learned about Olivia's secret identity and how she gets hooked up with one of the Gossip guys...
Inside sources tell us that Duff's character Olivia is a movie star who just wants to live a simple peasant girl's life at college and date a simple, nonfamous guy.
Lucky for Olivia, then, that Dan Humphrey (Penn Badgley) wants to hook up with her and that in typical Dan fashion, he has no idea she's famous.
Yep, Dan is getting serious with this new girl. (Ah, Dan, you really are "the ultimate insider." Someday you will come to terms with this and embrace your destiny as hipster beau of choice for high-status females of the Upper East Side.)

Wall Street has seen a lot of changes but outsized pay packages are not one of them.
Today the buzz in big pay days was around Jefferies Group CEO's $19 million annual pay in 2012. That includes a $1 million salary, a $5 million cash bonus (which he apparently voluntarily reduced from $8 million) and $13 million in stock.
Not bad for a CEO whose investors not long ago pounded the company's stock for fear it might go the way of MF Global.
But Richard Handler is handling his own these days and it appears his Board is satisfied with his more recent performance. Most notably Handler led the company into the arms of Leucadia National Corp in a deal valued at over $2 billion. It was enough to get Handler another $39 million in stock grants over three years bringing his total compensation package to about $58 million.
That's the stuff that Wall Street dreams are made of–and, quite frankly, the stuff many thought would go away after the financial crisis.
But it seems that while job cuts on the Street have been brutal over the last couple of years (26,352 employees were let go in the financial sector in the first half of 2012) the giant pay packages for executives are getting larger or smaller only as the result of ugly losses during the year.
Handler's pay for instance is a 36% increase from the previous year's pay–a year when shares of company suffered tremendously. This year though he's managed to outdo the pay package of Wall Street's diminished golden boy, Jamie Dimon, CEO of JPMorgan Chase.
Dimon was awarded $11.5 million in 2012–that's down from over $23 million in 2011. Dimon's paycut was primarily the result of his bank's so-called London Whale trade which cost the bank around $6 billion. At the time of the investigation around the trading loss Dimon said his 2011 pay was on the table for claw backs.
But don't feel bad for Dimon yet. His 50% pay cut still keeps among the highest paid bank CEOs. And consider that his smaller pay package still outdoes Bank Of America CEO's Brian Moynihan's 2011 pay of $8 million. And in case you're wondering, BofA shares are up 58% over the last year while JPM's up 27%.
But guess who else saw a Handler-like pay day in 2012? Goldman Sachs chief Lloyd Blankfein. The investment banking giant awarded Blankfein $21 million including $13 million in restricted stock, according to Bloomberg.
So yes, a lot of changes have occurred on Wall Street; they just don't involve executives' pay packages. Well, unless you're Citigroup's Vikram Pandit.

Antony Lawes's Hot Auctions: 9am. 155 Eastern Valley Way, Castlecrag $1,100,000+. 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 3 car spaces. Three bidders are expected on Saturday, attracted by the property's lower price bracket for the North Shore. Inspect 8.30am. Agent Forsyth, 0425 337 011.
Will Sydney's autumn auction market continue its red-hot run this weekend by notching up the seventh straight clearance rate at or above 80 per cent?
Last weekend was the sixth consecutive weekend result of 80 per cent or more, and these record levels show no signs of slowing down.
What makes these numbers all the more remarkable is that it's not just buyers who are out in force. Auction numbers are also significantly higher so far this autumn as seller confidence soars. There were 1287 properties listed for auction in Sydney over the past two weekends, which is an increase of 392, or 43 per cent, on the 895 homes listed over the same two weekends last year.
Antony Lawes's Hot Auctions: 10am. 58 Forbes Street, Newtown $1,050,000+. 3 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, 1 car space. Up to eight bidders are expected and most have plans to renovate this severely dated terrace house. Inspect 8.45am Agent Raine & Horne Newtown, 0406 751 631.
This weekend the trend continues with another strong weekend of offerings. There are 632 homes scheduled to go under the hammer, which is 38.6 per cent higher than the 456 that were listed over the same weekend last year.
The inner west is the most popular region for auctions this weekend, with 110 properties listed. Next highest is the south with 87, followed by the upper north shore with 73, the city and east with 70, the lower north with 65 and the northern beaches with 55 auctions.
Mosman is the most popular suburb for auctions this weekend, with 12 listed. This is followed by Strathfield with 10, Blacktown and Greenacre with nine each, and Erskineville with eight.
Antony Lawes's Hot Auctions: 12.45pm. 9 Pentonville Parade, Castle Hill $1,200,000+. 5 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 2 car spaces. Up to 10 parties are expected to battle it out for this luxurious five-year-old house. Inspect 12pm Agent McGrath Castle Hill, 0411 196 328.

I'm sure most anyone would be pleased to have one of these powering their rig, ENERMAX down-under have just officially intro'd their new GALAXY series 1000W power supply which boasts some pretty insane specs such as 5 seperate 12V rails, triple quad support (quad core/cpu/gpu systems) and much more.
Learn all about it by grabbing the official press material here, and also clicking on the thumbnail images below folks.
Sydney, Australia. - September 4 2006 Enermax Technology Corporation (Enermax) is proud to announce GALAXY, the long awaited high-end 1000watt PSU series.
After showing the world's first 1000W class PSU prototype in August 2005 at Games Convention show in Germany, the world wondered, why it has not been released ever since. The reason was a redesign to newest technology. While all other manufacturers have released since only ordinary 1000W class PSU's with normal 4 rail technology, ENERMAX decided to design a PSU, which would be able to power 2007 & 2008 server systems to give customers the utmost benefit possible.

New Look Mtn Weather Forecast Launchedby Dan Bailey - UKHillwalking.com Sep/2013
This news story has been read 3,354 times
Changes have been made to the Mountain Area Forecast from the Met Office, to make the online service more user friendly. There are some small but worthwhile improvements.
The recent tweaks are based on feedback from a consultation with users. From this the Met Office identified two distinct sets of users, they tell us, so their updates are based on the needs of both casual general walkers and rescue services/mountain pros (which category seems to include all climbers and proper hillwalkers, from what we can establish).
The changes are more evolutionary than revolutionary:
Now if they can just guarantee dry mountain rock til November, followed by a six-month deep freeze...

Born to Italian parents, Albert Bertini was raised in Paris until the age of nine when his family migrated to Australia. Arriving with no English, he lived in a one-bedroom flat in the Sydney suburb of Fairfield with his parents and three older brothers.
He left school at 15 and did an apprenticeship in tiling. He was very successful and, by 21, had a number of properties until a knee injury left him unable to work. He lost everything but started afresh, employing teams of tilers to do the work for him. During this time he also became a union delegate.
His business hit pay dirt when he manufactured, imported and then sold non-slip tiles for shopping centres. After a few years he grew tired of tiling and went into property development, revamping derelict old buildings into funky work spaces.
His company, Trivest, has more than 200 employees. It buys and restores old warehouses and heritage buildings then leases them out as office space. "They're all my Cinderellas," says Albert of his developments.
Trivest properties include South Sydney Leagues Club, Red Bull Alexandria Creative Park and the Reader's Digest building in Surry Hills. The company has holdings worth more than $400 million.
Albert describes himself as "eccentric", with a passion for design. His Italian/French background has left him with a moderate accent.
He is a firm believer in hard work and says he expects "180 per cent" from his employees. He handles any issues with a no-nonsense approach, but is a gentle character who lives by the motto "family and friends first".
Albert recently took part in the Australian television program The Secret Millionaire. He was a fan of the UK version and is drawn to its "challenges and generosity". The program was one of the highest rating of the season
Albert also takes a keen interest in migrant issues and delinquent adolescents.
Albert lives in Sydney with his three young sons – Remy, 8, Garcia, 6, and Orlando, 3. He has a passion for cars, and has a country estate in the Hunter Valley where he loves to take some time out.

A Missouri painting contractor on an interstate bridge recoating project faces a $24,000 state fine after an equipment breakdown delayed reopening of the highway in time for the Monday morning rush hour.
Thomas Industrial Coatings, of Pevely, MO, was abrasive-blast cleaning bridge supports along a section of Interstate 64 in St. Louis on Sunday night (Oct. 17) when a "big vacuum system" being used for lead-paint clean-up broke down about midnight, Missouri Department of Transportation officials said.
The malfunction forced the contractor to "do a lot of cleanup manually that they weren't planning to do," said Tom Blair, MoDOT assistant district engineer.
As a result, the eastbound lanes into downtown that were supposed to reopen at 5 a.m. did not open until after 9 a.m. Monday, causing delays and backups for 30,000 to 50,000 vehicles, Blair said.
$1,500 for 15 minutes
The extended highway shutdown will trigger a Job Special Provision contract clause that allows MoDOT to impose a fine of up to $1,500 fine for every 15 minutes that the contractor remained on the road past the designated work time, officials said.
Officials said Tuesday (Oct. 19) that the exact amount of the fine would not be determined for several weeks.
Don Thomas, owner of Thomas Industrial Coatings, declined to comment on the issue Tuesday.
MoDOT officials emphasized that the contractor had not caused any problem intentionally. "It's not like they weren't trying to get it open," said Blair.
"From what I understand, the contractor didn't really do anything wrong," he said. "They didn't overextend their period of time and try to get more done than they should. They were working away."
Nevertheless, Blair added, the state had agreed to completely shut down the interstate each weekend in order to get the job as quickly as possible. The reopening delay, no matter the reason, inconvenienced thousands of motorists and caused a mile-long backup.
'You Want a Contingency Plan'
MoDOT has been putting the JSP clause into all of its interstate contracts, and not just for coatings work, said Matt Budd, district construction materials engineer.
"Unfortunately, you can't plan for equipment breakdowns," said Budd. "But they could have had additional equipment out there, or available nearby, as a backup. When you're doing that critical work, you want to have a contingency plan."
Blair agreed, saying the contractor had worked well and had "gotten a lot done" on the project.
"We're not trying to run contractors out of business," Blair said. But "at the end of the day, our customers—the taxpayers and motorists of Missouri—don't really care about [why a delay occurred]."
'Part of Our Team'
The clause is intended to make contractors "realize their impact on traffic," said Blair. "They're part of our team when they're working for us, and we have a commitment to motorists and taxpayers. We broke that commitment to the public, and we take that seriously."
The clause "has in general helped" contractors keep on schedule, Blair said.
"It's a stick," he said. "It does work. We'd rather use carrots, and we write those into our contracts as well. But we have to have a stick for certain situations."
The stick will work in this case, Blair said.
"They're definitely going to make sure this doesn't happen again."

Great reporting on something negative. How many lives were saved by complete shutdown vs. one lane at a time?
Comment from Ron Cross, (10/20/2010, 11:28 AM)
I wonder if they fine STATE workers/employees as well for a problem that's not their fault and causes an inconvenience to the public. Do they give the fine money back to the taxpayers, since they were the ones inconvenienced? To make things fair, why don't they offer a $1500.00 bonus for every 15 minutes the contractor finishes ahead of schedule??
Comment from Doug Driscoll, Sr., (10/20/2010, 1:17 PM)
I believe the intent of the specification is to deter the contractor from trying to gain extra time on the highway so as to add production to his schedule, thereby increasing profits at the expense of the traveling public. This situation, as reported, is far from that reality. Does a contractor have to have another $600,000 worth of equipment standing by in the event of a major breakdown? The cost of doing lead abate work will skyrocket if this holds true.
Comment from Scott Meyer, (10/20/2010, 1:22 PM)
I agree with you Rob but it will never happen. Its always the contractors fault.
Comment from Ari Bouris, (10/20/2010, 9:14 PM)
As a lead abatement contractor, this individual which made the comment of having extra set of equipment on stand-by obviously has worked for the state system his whole life. He, as an employee for the state can have as much equipment as he needs and then some because, the tax payer is paying for them (which is us). He obviously does not have a clue what it takes to be in this or any business,with the overhead aquired, without having extra set of equipment on stand-by. If the state has the budget and are willing to double the prices per square foot then we can bring stand-by equipment.
Comment from Ari Bouris, (10/20/2010, 9:18 PM)
Comment from Bob DeNyse, (10/21/2010, 9:34 PM)
I think the fine is to deter contractors from pushing their production to the maximum, equipment breakdown can happen to even a new piece of equipment. This situation is not something that can be planned in, who knows when it will break and how much time it will cost. The big problem is if the state wants to force the issue, then they must be willing to accept the consequences of contractors raising their prices to cover a state who is not reasonable about issues and what the contractor must factor in for this type of problem. I agree the state does not have a clue what it takes to put extra equipment on the job. I am a lead abatement contractor and we do bridges also. I understand the situation that has happened and there are two sides that must be considered. If the state lets him off and the next contractor has another type of problem, then the state must treat every contractor the same. It is a tough problem for the state to decide what is right. I think the contractor should not be fined. It was unforeseen and that type of problem cannot be covered when a key piece of equipment fails.
Comment from John Benoit, (10/21/2010, 11:49 PM)
Not knowing the contractor in question, you don't know if he is always the lowest bidding contractor for this type of work. You can always be the lowest bidder and keep equipment up to par! Corners usually get cut somewhere.. a lot of times, it's lack of maintaining equipment. However, the question to ask is, did the contractor agree to a penalty clause for equipment failure under his contract terms? Or for any delay in time for that matter? If so, he had to have factored an allowence into the bid for this. Any contract where time is of the essence always carries a premium to do this type of work... Did he perhaps underbid the job to get it and not factor this in? Hopefully his E/O policy will cover this if he does get fined. But as the other contractors stated, he shouldn't be fined. This is an unforeseen delay that couldn't be prevented!
Comment from John Benoit, (10/21/2010, 11:50 PM)
That would be not knowing..too many days boating..lol
Comment from Tom Schwerdt, (10/22/2010, 8:40 AM)
My, we seem to have a lot of contractors commenting here. The contractor in this case has a variety of options to deal with this contingency - we all know equipment breaks down from time to time. Re-opening at 5AM on Monday was apparently a critical part of this agreed-upon contract. The contractor could buy performance insurance, cost built into the bid. He could suit up a couple more men to vacuum while blasting is still taking place so you won't have piles of lead paint and grit if equipment breaks down (yes, it sucks for the guys vacuuming and you need to supply them with air too.) Take smaller bites of the project at a time. A spare vacuum unit (not a whole recycler) onsite certainly won't double your cost per square foot. Heck, even a whole recycler wouldn't double your cost per square foot. To avoid this particular problem you don't need to double all the equipment, just the minimum to get you offsite by 5AM Monday. When opening Monday at 5AM is critical to the performance of the contract, a contingency plan is necessary. These contracts are bid - you come up with your plan, and build it into the bid. Prayer is not a contingency plan.
Comment from Ari Bouris, (10/22/2010, 11:14 PM)
First of all, performance insurances cost money. One needs to look into how recyclers are built. One can not just place one or two EXTRA people to vacuum on a recycler when you already have a two man vacuuming. The majority of the newer recyclers are built for two people vacuuming. Even a new $550,000 recycler can only recycle so much grit per hour while vacuuming, and the rest of the additional grit would go into the wastebin and get mixed in with the lead waste dust. As far as a vacuum, again one does not just purchase a vac truck to keep on the side IN CASE. Again, that also costs money. Then, if one would look into the price tag on a good USED recycler it could range from $250,000-$350,000, and a new one is in the range of $450,000-$550,000 depending how many men can blast with it. All these extra things that it's implied that a contractor should have will become part of his or her overhead, and it would take years to pay off, with good profits. I know in our business our profits are not this great, let alone every year, and whoever thinks they are, they do not get the whole picture. If it was this easy and profitable, every one would become a bridge painter. Also, part of one's cost on a project includes performance bonds, OCP polices, auto policies, RR policies (if needed), Comp polices, SS benefits, cost involved with keeping the QP1-QP2 program, etc. Tell me again why prices should not double. Are you kidding me?

According to the new book Sleeping With the Enemy: Coco Chanel's Secret War, fashion designer Coco Chanel was purportedly a Nazi intelligence operative. Biographer Hal Vaughan claims Chanel was recruited by then-boyfriend Hans Günther von Dincklage, who himself was a master spy.
From Vaughan's website:
The book pieces together how Coco Chanel became a German intelligence operative; how and why she was enlisted in a number of spy missions; how she escaped arrest in France after the war, despite her activities being known to the Gaullist intelligence network; how she fled to Switzerland for a nine-year exile with her lover Dincklage. And how, despite the French court's opening a case concerning Chanel's espionage activities during the war, she was able to return to Paris at age seventy and triumphantly resurrect and reinvent herself—and rebuild what has become the iconic House of Chanel.
The story sounds harebrained—and hopefully it is—but, horrifyingly, Vaughan's proposed timeline matches Coco Chanel's Wikipedia page exactly. In fact, the one kernel of "news" here is that Chanel was a spy, as opposed to a mere sympathizer.
I swear to God, if someone manages to connect Fendi and Mussolini, I am finished with purses forever.

Re: Met a guy who really likes his E kit
I wonder if guitar players were having the same argument in the early 30's when the electric guitar became a reality.Yet the acoustic guitar is still here along with plastic violins and chellos.
I guess E kits have their place and may even become more popular because of their exposure on American Idol a few times a week.
To each their own.I just watched Buddy Rich and his band do one of the best renditions of "Love For Sale" that I ever heard.I mean it just cooked...pure energy.But somehow,I could never see an E kit dynamicly sounding like Buddys 80's Ludwigs and A Zildjian cymbals.
Like I said...they all have a purpose,but using Niel Peart as an example in the context of sound value, leaves me flat,since I NEVER liked the sound of his kits A or E .Just my 2c.:)

Rubio: GOP should not fundraise off Benghazi
Sen. Marco Rubio is defending the new House select committee on Benghazi, but he said his party should not be raising money off it.
"I would prefer that we would focus not on the fundraising elements or the political elements of it," the Florida Republican said in an interview with ABC's Jonathan Karl that aired Sunday during "This Week." "I think it takes away from the reality of how serious a situation this is."
Rubio's criticism follows efforts last week by the National Republican Congressional Committee to raise money off the investigation.
Still, the senator defended the select committee, saying no one has been held accountable.
"Who's been held accountable for what happened in Benghazi?" Rubio asked.
He slammed the administration for misleading both the families of those who died in the 2012 attacks on the U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi, Libya, as well as other Americans, as to what happened.
"This administration has a tendency, on foreign policy issues in particular, not to worry nearly as much about what to do and to worry more about what to say," Rubio said.

Because Sometimes We Miss Our (Pretend) People
My husband and I record The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon every night on the DVR. We do this because we are old and can't stay up late enough to watch it at 10:30. Apparently our 40s have catapulted us to incredible new levels of lame.
So one day about a month ago I was fast-forwarding through an episode of The Tonight Show when all of a sudden something (or someone, I should say) caught my attention and stopped me in my tracks.
I even took a picture.
And here is what I said (out loud, in my kitchen, neveryoumind that I am a grown woman who can totally separate fact from fiction):
"Tim Riggins! TIM RIGGINS! TIMMMMMMM RIGGGGGGINNNNNNS!!!!"
Y'all, it was like I was a busy airport and unexpectedly saw a long lost friend from elementary school.
Now obviously it wasn't really Tim Riggins. It was Taylor Kitsch. And he was promoting a new film that has nothing to do with Friday Night Lights, even though they should totally get moving with that Friday Night Lights movie that nobody seems to have any intention of making.
But seeing Taylor Kitsch on my TV screen – after spending five seasons deeply invested in a character he played – made me realize that when certain shows go off the air, they leave a void. And when certain characters associated with those shows are no longer showing up on my TV every week (whether that's because the show ended or the character was written out of the storyline), I miss them.
Here are five characters that left a TV-related void after their shows – or their time on their shows – ended.
• Obviously, Tim Riggins from Friday Night Lights
What I'd like to know about Tim is, well, a lot. Did he build his house? Did he and Tyra figure out a way to make things work? Did he stay on the right side of the law? Are he and Billy okay? Tim is the bad boy who is super-tenderhearted way deep down. I always felt like so many of his choices resulted from his complicated relationship with his father, and it would be neat to see how – or if – he was able to overcome his past as he got older. Personally I like to think that he's teaching a vocational course and coaching at East Dillon under the guidance of Coach Taylor (who's back in town after he and Tami gave Philadelphia a try – but that's probably another hypothetical storyline for another day).
• Matthew Crawley from Downton Abbey
If there was ever a character that deserved a different ending than the one he got, it's Matthew Crawley. And I wish with everything in me that I didn't think about his blasted car on that dirt road every single time Lady Mary mentions him. I'm certainly not advocating some soap opera-esque return where he didn't really die but has been suffering from amnesia for the last two years, but it surely would be nice to see how things would've panned out for him and his family. It would be interesting to watch how he and Tom handled the management of Downton, and I imagine that he and Mary would have another baby by now. Alas, it wasn't meant to be – but I surely did miss him during season 4.
• Pam & Jim Halpert from The Office
I'm not sure that there's ever been a sweeter TV couple than Pam & Jim. And since The Office is a show with more than its fair share of cynicism and sarcasm, the relationship between Jim & Pam became the heart and soul of the show. When The Office ended, Jim & Pam were headed to Austin where Jim was going to start a new career, and I think it would be so fun to see what they're doing now (and whether they have a "Keep Austin Weird" sticker on the back of their minivan). If you think about it, there aren't a lot of TV couples who seem to share a genuine tenderness, and that's part of the reason I miss seeing the Halperts so much.
• Suzanne Sugarbaker from Designing Women
I know. I KNOW. It's been over 20 years since Designing Women went off the air, but I still quote Suzanne Sugarbaker any time I get a chance. She's one of my all-time favorite characters, and if I happen to run across a re-run from one of the early seasons of the show, I will stop whatever I'm doing to watch. I miss Suzanne's sass, I miss her snark, and I miss hearing that bona fide, certified Southern accent on a TV show. DW continued for a few years after Suzanne's character left, but it was never the same. And even though Suzanne briefly returned to TV in a different show called Women of the House, that's been 20 years ago. It would be great to see her again.
• Buster Bluth from Arrested Development
Here's why I miss Buster: he's hilarious. If there was one character on Arrested Development that's pretty much guaranteed to make me laugh every time they had a line, it was Buster. And if he didn't give us anything else, he gave us "These are my awards, Mother. From Army." I don't have a big, sentimental attachment to Buster like I do to some of the other characters I've mentioned, but have mercy he's so stinkin' funny. And if one of the networks wants to give Tony Hale a show where he can just play Buster for the rest of his life, that's fine by me. I'll set the DVR right now.
What about y'all? Are there any characters that you miss now that they're gone?

RIGGINS!!! I had dreams about him when we were watching the show. Whew, he's a dreamy, messed up guy. He's a great example of the bad boy you really want to change.
Jim and Pam are my favorites. They always remind me of my husband and I (minus working together), since we too were friends for years and the timing was always off until… it wasn't. Long friendship leading to marriage is pretty much the best. Even if Riggins occasionally still pops into my dreams.
Midwestmom On Monday, June 9 at 1:13 pm
I dreamt about Riggins too! That is too funny. I watched the series on netflix so I think that much Riggins in that short amount of time was just too much for me to handle lol.

I think TV will forever be less when one of my favs leaves. But then along comes a Good Wife or a Mad Men and I KNOW I will be scarred when they leave.

I will always remember Ron Palillo as Horshack on Welcome Back Kotter. Whenever he would raise his hand and OH OH OH. I should have been eager like that in school.
Lauren On Monday, June 9 at 9:46 am
I miss Friday Night Lights! Tim and Coach Taylor! And Pam and Jim. They really seem like friends in a way. I also miss the other cast members from The Office. And I will miss Parenthood when it goes off the air.
Jill On Monday, June 9 at 9:46 am
I watched that same Fallon episode and thought the same thing about missing Tim Riggins! I miss FNL It was such a great show.
I also miss the entire cast of Friends. It would be so interesting to see where they are now.

Oh, and I loved Designing Women! I wish I could work there:)
Julie On Monday, June 9 at 1:05 pm
While channel surfing the other day (don't judge – I was ironing) I came across Designing Women. The episode when Charlene has her baby. And Suzanne wants her to have the first baby of the New Year so she can win her maid, CON-SU-WAY-LA, a new car. I laughed out loud at that. So typical of Suzanne. Never mind that Charlene is the one HAVING the baby. Her maid needs a car……:) That show way jumped the shark when she left. You can't duplicate that kind of chemistry.

I miss Matthew Crawley more than I think I've missed any TV character ever. Season 4 seemed so empty without him. I hope Mary can move on and create a new life without him, and I think she will, but oh my heart!
Christine M On Monday, June 9 at 1:38 pm
I agree 100%. I almost wasn't going to watch season 4 because of Matthew Crawley not being a part of it. I did in the end, but it wasn't the same.

I so agree! Every time I see "Lorelai" on Parenthood, I wonder how Luke is doing.
Gerry On Monday, June 9 at 1:39 pm
I wonder so often what happened to Lorelai. Did she and Luke get married? Where is Rory? Is she married? Is Lorelai a grandmother? What happened to Lane and the twins? So much to catch up on……
Jennifer On Monday, June 9 at 3:14 pm
And what was Sookie and Jackson's 3rd baby? Boy? Girl? Twins?
Jeanne On Monday, June 9 at 9:17 pm
That is exactly who I thought of! I came late to the Gilmore Girls – watched the reruns as I fed both of my babies and I don't know if it was the new mama hormones or what but I formed a deep emotional bond with those characters. As much as I love the Good Wife, I still keep expecting Cary Argos to call up Rory and try to win her back. Actually on the Good Wife front I am not over them killing off Will Gardner.
Danna On Monday, June 9 at 9:47 pm
Me too Alice! Lorelai, Rory, Sookie…all of the wonderful quirky citizens of Stars Hollow. In that same vein, I also miss the many characters of Everwood. On a totally different vein, I agree about Tim Riggins and also miss Sawyer from Lost And oh…Matthew Crawley, boo hoo I still love Downton Abbey though!

I agree. Still feel quite the void on tv since that ended.
Jackie A. On Sunday, June 15 at 12:05 pm
Me too! I liked the way the show ended because it really couldn't have ended any other way but, I do wonder what happened to Skylar and the kids and if Skylar and Marie were able to have a relationship. I do miss Breaking Bad!

Ziva David from NCIS. The show is just not the same without her!

I've only seen a handful of Arrested Development episodes, but I feel like Tony Hale plays a version of his Buster character on the show Veep, which I think is fantastic. I looked it up to make sure it was the same actor (no matter how sure I am of myself, when posting things on the internet I like to double check because people are always quick to point out our inaccuracies…which is why I just opened a Word document so I could check the spelling of" inaccuracies") and I saw that he actually won an Emmy for Oustanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series for his role in Veep. Well deserved in my opinion.
Rebecca Moore On Wednesday, June 11 at 1:34 pm
I double check myself like that all the time JConnolly. I hate to hit "send" and then find an obvious goof. Then it's out there forever. :::cringe::: Just watch, I'll make a goof in this simple little reply. Anyway, Loved Arrested Dev and Buster. So funny.

Nash Bridges! Even though the series ended more than ten years ago, I still wonder if Nash (played by Don Johnson) ever found what he was searching for. Which was me, of course.

Hear, hear! Thank goodness for DVDs. I liked the original, though, and some of the Universe ones. I tried Atlantis but only got through a few seasons before giving up. I liked Rodney and the Doctor and was not particularly invested in any of the others.

Me too! I LOVED the original and Atlantis but didn't connect well with the Universe show. I have them all on DVD thank goodness.
CathyM On Monday, June 9 at 12:51 pm
Thank you for mentioning Stargate! I really miss Jack, Sam, Teal'c and Daniel. They were so entertaining and often hilarious. I also really loved Atlantis especially as the seasons progressed. I thought the cast developed into a really nice ensemble. Scifi has never been the same since they left.
Juanitad On Monday, June 9 at 10:43 pm
I was I heaven when I discovered that I our little corner of Tennessee, Stargate is on evrery Sunday night from 10-12 (2 hours) Love me some Jack, Sam, Daniel and Teal'c. Great to watch it all again.
Eq4bits On Wednesday, June 11 at 2:30 pm
More Gaters! Yay! SG1 and SGA fan here. Didn't care for SGU at *all*. Huge Joe Flanigan fan here. The original Stargate movie is getting a reboot; though, from what I read, it will be nothing like the series.
Jaana On Monday, June 9 at 10:50 am
Ahh, you just made me snort water through my nose. "These are my awards, Mother. From Army." LOL I have four brothers, so I have plenty of opportunities to break out a Buster-esque "Hey Brother" whenever I see one of them.:)
Erin On Monday, June 9 at 10:59 am
So so many characters. I also miss characters from books. I think my most missed TV characters are the Golden Girls. As far as I am concerned, they each WERE their characters. And now, only Betty/Rose is still with us. It will be a sad day indeed when there are no more Golden Girls.
susan On Friday, June 13 at 3:56 pm
You can watch reruns of The Golden Girls on the TVLand Network. It's on there quite frequently along with Everybody Loves Raymond, Friends and my absolute all time favorite The King of Queens!
Deb On Monday, June 9 at 11:09 am
YES Tim Riggins!!!!!!!!! I also miss the entire cast of the original Melrose Place!!!
Melanie On Monday, June 9 at 11:18 am
Ziva David from NCIS.
I just know Grey's Anatomy won't be the same without Cristina. I also miss George.
Phyllis & Dwight from The Office.
Reverend Camden from 7th Heaven.
Anji M On Wednesday, June 11 at 8:06 am
GEORGE!!! Saw him on another show about a month ago and it sent me into a brand new spiral of missing him. I hate when shows get rid of people. I miss Izzy too. And with Christina leaving, really…what will be the point?
Donna F On Monday, June 9 at 11:20 am
Matthew! What a shame just because he didn't want to act the part any more they killed him off. I would have substitued a new Matthew (they gave us a new Darren on Bewitched and it worked) LOL
Thanks for letting me rant.
Rene @thedomesticlady On Monday, June 9 at 11:26 am
"A new Darren on Bewitched"…totally made my day. The new Darren totally confused me as a kid .:)
Rene @thedomesticlady On Monday, June 9 at 11:24 am
I recently saw an interview with "buster" and I immediately fell in love with him all over again. Seriously so sweet
Peggy On Monday, June 9 at 11:25 am
Suzanne!! Suzanne!! Suzanne!!
Erica C. Barnett On Monday, June 9 at 11:27 am
Agent Cooper from Twin Peaks! The cancellation of that show was a crime (almost as bad a crime as Fire Walk With Me.)
Jen Gibson On Monday, June 9 at 11:35 am
I thought I was the only preson who would like it if TV shows that have ended were required to give us an update every 3 to 5 years.
Mari On Monday, June 9 at 11:40 am
Sid from Providence.
Cheryl On Tuesday, June 10 at 10:14 am
I second that regarding my missing Sid from Providence.
Also: Thomas Magnum from Magnum PI.
Adrienne On Monday, June 9 at 11:41 am
Oh my goodness, how I miss Suzanne AND Julia Sugarbaker! I watch the DVDs as often as possible. These two defined the kind of woman I wanted to be in childhood and early teens.
As to Matthew, oh how I miss his face and common sense. I think he and Tom made a great team, as did he and Mary of course. It seemed horrible to have them finally together and with a child to have him die! UGH! I mean he survived WWI and that horrible injury!
Personally I also miss Lorelai, Rory, and Emily Gilmore. I watch those DVDs continually too. I still have problems believing that Gilmore Girls has been off the air longer than it was on the air now.
Shawna On Monday, June 9 at 11:49 am
I know they did a huge "and this is what happened to everybody…" but, corny as it was, I miss the OC. Other shows I miss:
Golden Girls
Ally McBeal (the early years)
Moonlighting (the early years)
I would also be happy to get updates on what the Friends are up to now, and Dr. Carter from ER, and Miles Crane from Frasier.
And I wish George could come back and visit Grey's Anatomy.
Michelle On Monday, June 9 at 11:56 am
I miss Det. Barry Frost, from "Rizzoli and Isles".. even though at the last season's end he was still on the show, we all know the wonderfully talented actor Lee Thompson Young committed suicide before the new season started shooting. My heart aches for all who knew and loved Lee.
I also already miss Herschel on TWD. There was a huge void when he "left".
I miss MASH, Friends, and The Carol Burnett Show.
cas On Monday, June 9 at 12:20 pm
I was going to say MASH too…I often wondered what happened to everyone once they got home. Did they meet up anywhere? Did BJ have more kids? I'd even settle for a book called After MASH…
Another Dawn On Monday, June 9 at 12:51 pm
You should know, cas, that there are three M.A.S.H. novels for you to enjoy!
Nancy On Monday, June 9 at 11:59 am
PARTY OF FIVE – Charlie, Bailey, Julia, Claudia & Owen. They would all be adults now, well Owen would be a teenager.

Named my daughter Bailey after this show…loved it!! I miss Bonnie Hunt!! Insanely funny.
SammaMichelle On Monday, June 9 at 12:14 pm
Oh Tim Riggins…the joy that FNL brought to us!!! I miss all of Designing Women ladies and Anthony of course!!! Such a great fun southern show!!! I also miss the family from Gilmore Girls and I wonder what are Dr. Ross and Nurse Carol Hathaway are doing since they left ER.
kate On Monday, June 9 at 12:16 pm
Lily Manning (Sela Ward) and Rick Sammler (BillyCampbell)–Once and Again.
Rachel On Monday, June 9 at 12:20 pm
I miss Andy and Barney. And I miss Steve Erkel. There will never be another Andy or another Erkel.
Mrs. Lucky On Tuesday, June 10 at 10:15 am
I miss Andy and Barney too-but the old ones and black and white for sure! There are certain shows that I call my "comfort shows". I snuggle in and feel comfortable watching.
Sarah M. On Monday, June 9 at 12:31 pm
I couldn't agree more with Jim & Pam. Thankfully, with Netflix, I can visit them any time I want But, yes, it would be fun to know where they are today. Other "friends" I miss are Ross & Rachel, Monica & Chandler. Oh, and I would love to see the life of Anne (of Green Gables) & Gil!
alanna On Monday, June 9 at 12:35 pm
Jeez – I have these thoughts every time a show I've been invested in is done. Movie series are the same way for me; even books! I just want the creator/author/whatever to keep creating the fantasy world for me so I can lose myself with my favorite (or not so favorite) people.
Also, why does Taylor Kitsch look so little in that screenshot??
Caryl O On Monday, June 9 at 12:36 pm
I ADORE Suzanne Sugarbaker!!!
PamMcJay On Monday, June 9 at 12:44 pm
Does anyone remember "Adam", played by Adam Arkin, on Northern Exposure. He was an angry war vet who happened to be a gourmet chef. Hilarious!
Another Dawn On Monday, June 9 at 1:08 pm
Lilacmom On Monday, June 9 at 2:05 pm
Yes! Loved that show. My kids used to get to stay up until the moose walked by in the opening scene every week!
AngAK On Monday, June 9 at 5:16 pm
I miss every single character in Northern Exposure. what a great reunion that would be.
Antonia On Monday, June 9 at 5:50 pm
Yes, – missed the guys from Northern Exposure the most, I think. Something about that cast and location that hit home for me.
Susanne On Monday, June 9 at 7:18 pm
I miss the entire cast of Northern Exposure….the ONLY tv show I ever truly loved!
Rebecca Moore On Wednesday, June 11 at 1:31 pm
My people! Fellow NE fans. I am not alone. I adored crazy, brilliant Adam….all of them.
PamMcJay On Wednesday, June 11 at 6:52 pm
Remember when he & Eve held Joel captive? I can't remember why…anybody??
Another Dawn On Sunday, June 15 at 9:51 pm
Well, I refreshed my memory and sure enough, Eve is a hypochondriac and wants a 24 hour in-house doctor so Adam drives him to their cabin and she whacks Joel with a frying pan and ties him up so he can diagnose her many symptoms. Hilarity ensues.
http://youtu.be/vi_cmcweQmE (8 or so minutes of the episode on youtube)
Theresa Bergeron On Monday, June 9 at 12:45 pm
Spike from Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
Ang On Monday, June 9 at 1:24 pm
Oh my gosh, I SO agree!!!
Another Dawn On Monday, June 9 at 12:47 pm
I miss Dr. Gil Grissom (William Petersen) on CSI.
I miss all of the quirky cast of Northern Exposure. Oh, I miss them so. I like to think that they are still living happily in Cicely, Alaska. The ditzy like a fox Shelly Marie Tambo (Cynthia Geary) was a fellow Mississippian.
Another Dawn, The Sequel On Monday, June 9 at 12:56 pm
I meant to say "is" a fellow Mississippian (not "was"), although I don't know where she lives now (Cicely, AK?!).
Dana On Thursday, June 12 at 7:40 am
I still watch CSI, but it just isn't the same without Grissom!
Becca On Monday, June 9 at 12:53 pm
I agree with Riggins & Jim & Pam…
I would add Liz Lemon – hilarious, lovable, and someone I related to. How is motherhood for her? Now that I'm a mother, I want to her her take on the ups and downs of this phase of life.
BJM On Monday, June 9 at 12:56 pm
While Matthew Crawley's demise was sad, I think we fans saw it coming. "Wash" Washburn's sudden death on Firefly really bummed us out too. We did not see that coming…but the very worst killing off of a beloved character was Mash's Col. Henry Blake. I cried buckets.
Hawkeye Pierce & Radar O'reilly, Captain Picard, Capt'n Mal Reynolds & Jayne Cobb,Tony Soprano, Silvio & Paulie Walnuts, Gil Grissom, Fraiser & Nils, Norm Peterson & Cliff Clavin, the entire Seinfeld cast…but especially Elaine Benes, Carrie, Samantha, Charlotte, Miranda & Mr. Big…..and I'm already missing Don Draper.
mctrot On Monday, June 9 at 12:58 pm
Tim Riggins, yes! In fact, everybody on "Friday Night Lights"–I just miss "Friday Night Lights."
Suzanne Sugerbaker is another one I think about. And then there are Remington Steele and Laura Holt.
Nikki H On Monday, June 9 at 12:59 pm
Jean-Luc Picard

Caitlin H. On Friday, June 13 at 5:17 pm
Oh Captain, my Captain. Agreed!
And Dr. House. I miss Dr. House with my whole heart.
Midwestmom On Monday, June 9 at 1:12 pm
OMG RIGGINS! I fell in love with Friday Night Lights on Netflix about a year ago. I watched 2-4 episodes a night and fell into a deep depression when it ended. Not really but I do feel like I miss them!!
regina m On Monday, June 9 at 1:14 pm
I miss Matthew Crawley. I still see that awful accident.
Lyndsey Asher On Monday, June 9 at 1:19 pm
I am already preparing myself for the last season of True Blood. I love Alcide!

Kris On Monday, June 9 at 1:25 pm
I am dating myself here, but I miss the early years of Thirtysomething. I soooo wanted to be in on that group of friends!!
Gerry On Monday, June 9 at 1:44 pm
I was just going to comment about Thirtysomething when I saw yours. What ever happened to Hope and Michael? Are they still together? What about little Janie and Leo? I so wanted to be in that group of friends too. I was obsessed with Hope. I wore my hair like hers, I decorated my house like hers…. etc, etc, etc. I searched all over till I found a similar print of the Adirondak chairs she had over her fireplace. I was a real fan.
Lilacmom On Monday, June 9 at 2:11 pm
I was pregnant with my first child when that show came out. I loved watching it but it used to bother me that Michael was married to his best friend's wife (on the show) in real life. Anyhow, always wished I had a group of friends like that but I probably wouldn't have been cool enough for them, LOL!
Cindy Jenkins On Monday, June 9 at 2:28 pm
I too loved Thirtysomethng and wanted to be their friend. I think wherever we are in life, sometimes the characters in shows just touch us. I wore longer dresses with those little white keds and short socks like Hope did. Geez, I sound like a nut case!
I also loved the show The Wonder Years and miss sweet little Kevin!
Holly In Houston On Wednesday, June 11 at 9:01 pm
Oh what memories. Loved that show!
Gail On Saturday, June 14 at 9:39 pm
I loved Thirtysomething!! And Party of Five!!
Fallon D On Monday, June 9 at 1:32 pm
All the characters from Pushing Daisies!! That was the BEST show, Allison Dubois from Medium- another GREAT show, ughh Matthew Crawley… I still have nightmares that he's gone. Lucy – no one comes close to the BRILLIANT comedy of Lucille Ball.
kathny On Monday, June 9 at 4:42 pm
I miss Pushing Daisies too! Every time I see Kristen Chenoweth or Swoozie Kurtz on TV now, it makes me sad that the Pie Man and Chuck aren't there too!
Rebecca Moore On Wednesday, June 11 at 1:50 pm
I really liked this show a lot too, and think of it when I see Swoosie or Kristin. Can you believe Ned (Lee Pace) is Thranduil in The Hobbit? So cool!
Christine M On Monday, June 9 at 1:42 pm
I really miss Rory & Lorelai on the Gilmore Girls. I know it was on the CW, but it was such a heartwarming, charming show. My friends and I bonded in college over watching Gilmore Girls & Scrubs.
Amanda On Monday, June 9 at 1:44 pm
Sydney and Vaughn from Alias. I visit with them regularly, though, since I have the series on DVD and it's on Netflix. I always watch Alias when I don't know what to watch.
I miss Mr. Feeny, too. And Clark Kent. Most definitely Clark.
Kris On Tuesday, June 10 at 1:59 pm
I also thought about Alias. We just re-watched many of the episodes on Netflix. It was obvious that Jennifer Garner was going to be a big star. But what happened to Michael Vartan?
Maridell Creel On Wednesday, June 11 at 11:48 am
This was going to be my answer. I SO loved Alias! I just joined Netflix so I could watch the entire show from start to finish again. Siiiiiiiiiiiigh…..Vaughn……he was so dreamy…..
nancy K On Monday, June 9 at 1:53 pm
Ahhh, Pam and Jim. I do miss them but reruns are everywhere so they are available when needed. I have seen John Krasinski with is wife, Emily Blunt, and it almost seems as if they are a real life Pam and Jim. Their chemistry seems to have the same 'vibe' and it is sweet to see.
Lilacmom On Monday, June 9 at 2:02 pm
I never watched Friday Night Lights but I do remember and miss Gary Hobson(same star) from "Early Edition". Just wonder how that would work now since newspapers are fewer and fewer and cell phones would get poor Gary out of a lot of those binds he got into. Great show and my kids could watch it too without me having to worry very much.
I also miss LOST and still can't quite figure it out. We own all the episodes but can't quite bring myself to watch them yet.
Ruth On Monday, June 9 at 4:40 pm
I miss Gary Hobson in Early Edition. And I REALLY miss those Jr. High grandkids who watched it often with me.
Jenny Anne On Monday, June 9 at 2:21 pm
I miss Coach Taylor and Tami too! My daughter texted me about a month ago and told me that Kyle Chandler's real life daughter started working with her. All I can envision is Julie Taylor..
KimKae On Monday, June 9 at 2:27 pm
We too watch Jimmy Fallon from the DVR for the same reason. And was excited when I saw Taylor (Tim Riggins) was a guest. I enjoyed his interview and it made me long for Tim and all the characters of Friday Night Lights. I see a Friday Night Lights marathan in my fall/winter future.
Celia B On Monday, June 9 at 2:40 pm
I miss Moonlighting so much…..loved the opening song….the quick banter between Maddie & David (was it David?) I just loved that show….were they going to solve the mystery? would they finally kiss?
Violet from Alabama On Monday, June 9 at 2:46 pm
I miss my Magnum PI….when he was on Friends I still called him Magnum!
Vickie R On Monday, June 9 at 3:12 pm
I watch so many shows in re-runs I almost forget they are gone. I so agreed with all the comments on missing FNL, I loved that show. I miss Angela and Jordan on "My So Called Life". I really wanted more than one season. And Spike and Buffy, they promised us a movie and I am still waiting.
Chelsea On Monday, June 9 at 10:30 pm
I miss Paul and Jamie from Mad About You. Their marriage was so real and witty — loved it.
I also miss Veronica Mars (for the same reason — the witty and snarky lines).
And I know this is slightly sinful, but I've always said that Coach Taylor was the only man I'd leave my husband for. You can have Tim Riggins — I'll take Kyle Chandler.
JB On Monday, June 9 at 3:22 pm
I'm a huge fan of Law and Order, so I miss the whole original iteration, especially Jack McKoy (Sam Waterston). Every time I hear his character on The Newsroom (Charlie Skinner) drop an f-bomb, I think "Jack McKoy just said f—!" I also miss Elliot Stabler (Christopher Meloni) from SVU. There's no partnership quite like Benson and Stabler.
And while she just left the show, I'm curious to see how Grey's Anatomy is going to hold up with Cristina Yang. I miss her already.
Sally R On Monday, June 9 at 3:28 pm
Deputy Chief Brenda Lee Johnson.
Wendy On Monday, June 9 at 4:43 pm
Me too!!! When Fitz appeared in that episode towards the end of last season, all I wanted to know about was how Brenda was doing. And her mama and daddy too!!!
Jen On Tuesday, June 10 at 9:51 am
That is who I miss too, loved her toughness and her vulnerability…..even though her hubby is awesome in The Following…I wish they could both work at the same time.
Lisa On Saturday, June 14 at 9:07 am
Brenda Leigh's mama died.
Wendy P On Monday, June 9 at 4:09 pm
I sooo get this. I will spend weeks "writing" a story in my head because I can't stand not "knowing" what happened.
Janetcc On Monday, June 9 at 4:15 pm
The entire cast of Andy Griffith show. And the Dick VanDyke show. And John Crighton from Farscape.
BarbB in the OC On Monday, June 9 at 4:24 pm
FYI: Taylor Kitsch played one of the main characters recently (May 2014) in an HBO movie
called "Normal Hearts". I knew that 'Tim Riggins' (swoon!!:) was going to be in it, and let me tell you … it took a while to figure out which part he was playing. Didn't look or act or sound like Tim Riggins, at all!!! (Excellent movie, if you get a chance to see it! NOT for kids!)
S Richard On Monday, June 9 at 4:27 pm
And of course Kramer!
Lisa H On Monday, June 9 at 4:42 pm
McMurphy….the nurse from China Beach! One of my all time favorites!! Dr. Carter from ER.
Norma On Wednesday, June 11 at 1:07 am
China Beach was my all time favorite show. Each episode made me cry. They finally offered it on DVD and I jumped on it.
kathny On Monday, June 9 at 4:47 pm
I really try hard not to get too attached to characters on TV shows because I get so sad when the shows end. Northern Exposure – the early years, was an awesome show, and as I said earlier, Pushing Daisies was one of my favorites. I now refuse to get hooked on any of these newer series like MadMen, or Downton Abbey or Game of Thrones because I don't know if I could handle the endings!
Mz V On Monday, June 9 at 4:51 pm
This blog posting was like a huge therapy session for me; I'm not the only one who "lives" the great shows on television. Honestly, I've practically gone into deep depression when one of "my" characters is killed off or when a show is cancelled. It's been that way for me WAAAAAY back, back when I thought my life would end when they announced that the Red Skelton comedy hour was going off the air. My mother finally sat me down and asked me what I was so sad about. I can remember she was trying not to laugh, I was so sincere in my pain and loss. And now, nearly 50 years later, I'm still the same way. Thank you all for sharing your stories of living vicariously through the good characters of the world. I'm cured!
Well, until we lose Don Draper, that is. My friend and I are already speculating as to how he'll end. I say it will be off the building. But then again, I reminded you I need therapy.
Rebecca Moore On Monday, June 16 at 1:04 am
Oh, Mz V, you made me laugh. I'm picturing this little girl getting so bummed out that Red Skelton was going off the air. Adorable! I miss Klem Kadiddlehopper and especially Gertrude and Heathcliffe. So funny!
I'm sure I'm not the only one who reacts the same way to the end of a good book as we do to the end of a good tv show. Isn't it awful? You have to step out of the book world and enter the real world blinking and disoriented.
azjenny On Monday, June 9 at 5:19 pm
I love that you included Buster Bluth! Love him. I miss Walter White. Am I bad?
Nancy W On Monday, June 9 at 5:37 pm
Tim Riggins! I just discovered this show on Netflix a couple months ago and have marathoned my way through it. I have the series finale left to watch tonight, and I have been sad all day because it is ending! Kyle Chandler is hot! But Tim Riggins got into my heart. I have rooted for him through all five seasons. There is a good man in there, and he was beat down pretty hard for a young man. What an awesome show.
Lynn Alexander On Monday, June 9 at 5:52 pm
I am with you, Ree. I miss Friday Night Lights a lot. We also miss Lost – anytime we see any of those characters on another show we still call them by their Lost names… Locke, Kate, Hurley, Claire, Ben. Can't help it. And I also miss the Sopranos, even more so since Tony Gandolfini is truly gone.
A On Monday, June 9 at 7:04 pm
Jim and Pam are better if you ignore the last several seasons. They were kind of ruined, though there was always some nastiness to them, thinking they were superior and making fun of people to the point of bullying.
Jessie On Monday, June 9 at 5:53 pm
I worry about that Tim Riggins. So much emotional baggage he carries. But clearly Coach and Tami Taylor {insert gorgeous hair flip here} have moved back and are helping him along.
Because no true Texan could
live in Philly for long.
But the characters I find myself quoting the most are Phoebe and Joey.
And by quoting the most I mean daily.
Can't believe it's been ten years since they left my Thursday nights!
JS On Monday, June 9 at 7:03 pm
Anyone remember Helen van Patterson Patton? A true Designing Women fan would!!
Libby On Monday, June 9 at 7:53 pm
Yes, I remember her well. She was the Anastasia Beaverhausen of Designing Women!
Heather On Monday, June 9 at 8:11 pm
I agree with the others who miss Friends and Ziva from NCIS, but I miss the entire cast of Chuck, from the stars to the background players, and I wish there had been a solidly happy ending for Chuck and Sarah. Won't somebody bring back Chuck as a movie, a summer replacement series, or a web series?
Beth Lyle On Monday, June 9 at 8:19 pm
Adrian Monk and Barney Fife. No, I am not old enough to have watched the Andy Griffith show in its heyday, but I watched the reruns throughout my childhood, and was there ever a better mystery, comedy, drama than Monk? I liked Natalie, but the Sharona episodes were funnier…
Kathryn On Monday, June 9 at 9:55 pm
FNL, Mad Men, Mindy Project, 24, Downton Abbey … Now if you tell me your guilty pleasure is Dog With A Blog, I will know we were separated at birth! If not, check it out …. you will love it, especially as a dog lover. Trust me!
Wendy M On Monday, June 9 at 9:56 pm
I miss all of my 'friends' from Stars Hollow – Babbette,Miss Party, Luke – and the indestructible and always remarkable Lorilei and Rory. What a great group of quirky characters.
Susanna Jackson On Monday, June 9 at 10:17 pm
After binging on 7 seasons of Battlestar Gallactica…then it was over…. I realized I was going through Starbuck and Adama withdrawals. I missed them, it hurt a little in my heart.
I also always wondered what happened to Kate and Allie (Susan St. James and JaneCurtain) and to Elise Keaton ( Family Ties).
Lindsay On Monday, June 9 at 10:23 pm
I loved Niles and Frasier from "Frasier". By far a witty, arrogant, and persnickety comic duo. I also miss Pierce, Hawkeye, Padre, Radar, and Hot Lips! What happened after the war?
Kimberley On Monday, June 9 at 10:45 pm
I miss some strange ones like Freaks and Geeks (first time I saw James Franco). There was Evening Shade with Burt Reynolds and Marilu Henner set in Arkansas. The Wonder Years and Rhoda before she married Joe!
Abbie On Wednesday, June 11 at 12:23 am
Freaks and Geeks. It's on Netflix…or it was the last time I had a chance to peruse without the littles running the show. (a very rare occasion.) This show was on my mother's taboo list so I watched it on the sly. Many a guilty moment over watching that show….but I LOVED IT!
D Wilson On Monday, June 9 at 10:46 pm
I'm missing my One Tree Hill cast
Melanie On Monday, June 9 at 10:52 pm
After many a quote at the dinner table tonight with my husbands family, It has come to my attention I should have had the entire cast of Seinfeld on my post earlier. What a great show. I'm so glad for reruns!
Elizabeth On Monday, June 9 at 11:34 pm
I miss my Gilmore Girls
Kathleen G On Monday, June 9 at 11:47 pm
Thirtysomething, Sisters, Any Day Now, and Once and Again are among my favorites. Would love to know how everything turned out for them. I feel a kinship here.
Iris On Monday, June 9 at 11:49 pm
Re: "Matthew Crawley" ….. Dan Stevens wanted to leave the show to persue other acting inteests. He has apologized earlier this year. http://www.today.com/entertainment/dan-stevens-apologizes-lot-his-downton-abbey-death-2D11884325 I shall never knowingly see any of his performances. Hold a grudge? Why, yes. I do.

President Josiah Bartlet, Sam Seaborn, Josh Lyman, Donna Moss, CJ Cregg, Toby Zeigler, Leo McGary, Charlie Young, Ainsley Hayes, and the rest of The West Wing cast.
Beth B On Tuesday, June 10 at 5:08 am
I loved Tony Hale as Buster on Arrested Development. Did you know he graduated from Samford University? My son knew him and said he's one of the nicest guys you'd ever meet. His friends worried that NY City wouldn't treat him kindly. I guess he handled it just fine!
I miss everyone and everything about FNL. Nothing like it.
betsy On Monday, June 16 at 12:09 pm
You can catch Tony Hale on the HBO show "Veep". He is so funny as the paranoid "bag boy" for Julia L Dryfuss.
Mia On Tuesday, June 10 at 5:19 am
I miss Michael Scott. I also miss Sully (Joe Lando) from Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman. Man, I had a huge crush on him.
Sandradee On Tuesday, June 10 at 5:22 am
Definitely Downton Abbey's "Matthew Crawley", but I missed "Sybil" just as much if not more.
Liz Di Bari On Tuesday, June 10 at 6:45 am
Oh how I miss watching Breaking Bad!!!! Best show I have ever seen on television! Bryan Cranston played Walter White and I can't say enough about the superb acting in this show from the rest of the cast.
Jessica B. On Tuesday, June 10 at 6:46 am
Penny from Happy Endings. And everyone from the last couple of seasons of Friends. Those last few years they reached a great level of comedy, and I still laugh when I hear someone say something is a mute point. No…it's a moo point. You know, like a cows opinion, it's moo.

Karen from Will and Grace! What a hoot she was!
Carmen Renfroe On Tuesday, June 10 at 9:04 am
"My name is Michael Westen. I used to be a spy." The last two seasons of Burn Notice went a little wonky, but I miss Michael, Sam, and Fiona so much that sometimes I wonder if I really AM able to separate fiction from reality.
Also Lorelai, Rory, Luke, Richard, Emily, and Sookie.
Frasier, Niles, and Martin Crane.
The Keatons.
Tony Micelli and Angela Bower.
When I finish Chuck, I will miss Casey's growls and anger.
And Pacey and Joey. I couldn't get enough of them together.

You mentioned you wish they would make a Friday Night Lights Movie, the reason they haven't is they did before the TV Series. It was called… Friday Night Lights. Different characters and actors, but both the movie and the show were based on a book called… Friday Night Lights: A Town, a Team, and a Dream. So they probably won't make a movie since there already was one

I miss the show Aaron's Way. It ran back in the 80's but have never seen reruns! Where are they???

That sounds familiar. There was a show called "Apples's Way". It starred Ronny Cox, Kristy McNichol, and maybe one of the Van Patten kids…Anyone remember?

OMG, I'm so old! Apple's Way was in the 70's!!
