Bob Saget may be 'Surviving' on ABC
Bob Saget's homeless "Surviving Suburbia" may have found a new residential neighborhood.
According to Variety, ABC is in talks to pick up the Media Rights Capital comedy "Surviving Suburbia," which stars Saget along with Cynthia Stevenson, Jared Kusnitz, G Hannelius, Jere Burns and Lorna Scott.
"Surviving Suburbia" was originally ordered as part of MRC's Sunday night programming deal with The CW, which planned to premiere the show in March. The CW/MRC deal was a major ratings dud this fall and The CW ended the pact in November.
The trade says that production on "Surviving Suburbia" continued despite its uncertain future and MRC has been shopping the show's 13 episodes.
Created by Kevin Abbott ("Reba"), "Surviving Suburia" focuses on the Stevers, a suburban family whose life is turned upside down when they get some new neighbors.
ABC, which had had difficulties with comedy development in recent years, announced this week that it will carve out a pair of new comedy hours this spring, a Wednesday pairing of "Scrubs" and "Better Off Ted" and a Thursday union of "In the Motherhood" and "Samantha Who?"
MRC is already producing ABC's yet-to-be-scheduled animated comedy "The Goode Family." And, as Variety notes, the network was the home to Saget's seminal "Full House" and "America's Funniest Home Videos" duo.

UGA's Fanning Institute gets a new name, announces new director Matt Bishop '99, '12
The University of Georgia's Fanning Institute is being renamed to better communicate its mission under new leadership, according to Vice President for Public Service and Outreach Jennifer Frum. Effective December 1, the Public Service and Outreach unit's name will be restored to the J.W. Fanning Institute for Leadership Development. Matt Bishop, currently with UGA's Archway Partnership, will become the institute's new director. Fanning's mission will focus on leadership development and specifically developing leaders who can implement sustainable solutions to community challenges.
Frum announced the realignment of the Fanning Institute's mission and Bishop's appointment at a Leadership Georgia board meeting in Athens on Nov. 8. The restoration of Leadership Development to the organization's name signals a renewal of the Fanning Institute's focus as the namesake of J.W. Fanning, UGA's first vice president for services and founder of Leadership Georgia, according to Frum.
As the new director of the organization, Bishop will guide development of new goals and refocused programming to accomplish its mission. Bishop is currently a public service associate and coordinator of operations for the Archway Partnership. His 10-year career with UGA includes serving as faculty with the Fanning Institute and the Carl Vinson Institute of Government and faculty coordinator for UGA's Initiative on Poverty and the Economy. In addition, his public service career has included serving as associate director of the Governor's Rural Development Council and regional resource coordinator for the Georgia Department of Community Affairs. He also served as a budget analyst for the Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners.
In addition to his professional experience, Bishop has been highly active in Leadership Georgia since 2008. He and his wife, Natalie'08, were chosen to be program chairs in 2009, and he is currently serving a three-year term as a trustee on Leadership Georgia's board. He holds a master of public administration and a doctor of philosophy in public administration and policy from UGA.
Please join me in congratulating Matt on his new position with the University. His service to UGA and the community is a source of pride for everyone at the Alumni Association. I look forward to continued achievements from the J.W. Fanning Institute for Leadership Development. Go Dawgs!

Alumnus and longtime supporter brings NASA to campus
Roger Hunter's (BS '78, Mathematics) passion for UGA is unmatched by most, and despite living thousands of miles from Athens, his veins are still filled with red and black.
In 2014, the associate director for programs at NASA Ames Research Center in California gave the fall commencement address and a TEDxUGA Talk. This past summer, he hosted UGA President Jere W. Morehead (JD '80) and other university representatives on a tour of Ames, even surprising them with an image of Uga IX on Mars – the first "earth-being" to visit the surface of the Red Planet.
His commitment to UGA continued this fall when Roger brought two of his NASA colleagues, Roberto Carlino and Jasper Wolfe, to campus to present to and mentor students and faculty on the Friday prior to the UGA vs. South Carolina football game.
(left to right): NASA scientists Jasper Wolfe from Australia, Roberto Carlino from Italy and UGA's own Roger Hunter from California.
Malcolm Adams, a Josiah Meigs Distinguished Teaching Professor of Math, arranged for an afternoon lecture in the Miller Learning Center that was open to all students and promoted in STEM classes on campus. The presentation focused on the history and future of the use of Cube-Sats (mini satellites used for space research) from the perspective of the NASA Ames Research Center.
Earlier that day, though, the NASA representatives participated in a seminar/workshop for a group of faculty and students who are planning to build the first UGA CubeSat to gather spectral data off the Georgia coast. The group includes faculty from geography, marine science, physics and math, and 25 to 30 undergraduate students.
Both the students and faculty in attendance were inspired by the exciting, breakthrough technology presented by the visitors, and were appreciative of the first-hand mentoring offered.
Roger Hunter continues to contribute to UGA through his time, expertise and financial support. His involvement is greatly appreciated and can be seen as a stellar example of alumni enriching the learning experience on campus through volunteerism.
If you are interested in mentoring on campus or bringing a special project to UGA students, please email firstname.lastname@example.com and indicate your interest.
Alumnus Spotlight: Joey Shonka (BS '05)
Joey Shonka (BS '05), a long distance hiker and mountaineer, is trying to become the first person to traverse the entire Andes mountain range on foot. He has completed the Triple Crown of Hiking, which refers to the three major U.S. long distance hiking trails: the Appalachian Trail (AT), the Pacific Crest Trail (PCT), and the Continental Divide Trail (CDT). Joey has written the following books about his experiences hiking each of these trails.
"The Darkness in the Light" (about the AT)
"An American Nomad" (about the PCT)
"A Strong West Wind" (about the CDT)
In July 2013, Joey began his attempt to create the first unbroken chain of footsteps across the continent of South America. He started his trek at Cape Froward, the southernmost point on the mainland of South America. As part of his current journey, he has already hiked nearly 5,000 kilometers, crossed parts of the world's third-largest glacier network and summited seven of the highest peaks in the Americas. Joey checks in via a location tracker on his website to keep family, friends and fans updated. Recently, he was spotted near the Rio Vilcanota in Peru. Joey plans to culminate his hike in Columbia, political unrest permitting, around March 2016.

Adeline Kenerly '16 Named New Miss Georgia 2015
Adeline Kenerly '16, a UGA digital and broadcast journalism major, was recently named the 2015 Miss Georgia after Betty Cantrell, the former 2015 Miss Georgia, was named Miss America on September 13.
In addition to being a member of the UGA Majorettes, Adeline was crowned Miss University of Georgia in 2014. She is involved with Zeta Tau Alpha sorority and has held leadership roles with both UGA Relay for Life and HEROs at UGA, a student organization that raises funds for pediatric HIV/AIDS. The Jesup native also served as a member of the Student Government Association's Freshman Forum.
Adeline is continuing a long Bulldog tradition in her family. Her father, Dr. J. Lex Kenerly III met his wife, Joy Bland Kenerly, when they were UGA students in the early 1980s. Her father was a walk-on member of the football team and her mother was a UGA Majorette who twirled during three Sugar Bowls and the 1980 National Championship. Today, Lex is a member of the UGA Alumni Association Board of Directors and his company, Bone and Joint Institute of South Georgia, was on last year's Bulldog 100 list of fastest-growing businesses owned or operated by UGA alumni. The couple has raised a family of passionate and involved Bulldogs. They attend each home football game to not only cheer for the Bulldogs, but also their daughters, Adeline and Jameson. Jameson is a third-year Feature Twirler and in the Honors Program.
Adeline will be crowned Miss Georgia on Saturday, October 3 during halftime of the Georgia vs. Alabama football game.
The Miss America Organization, at the local, state, and national levels, is the largest private scholarship foundation for women in the United States. This year, scholarship assistance totaling more than $45 million was available to contestant's at all three levels. The organiztaion was established in 1921 and is a nonprofit civic corporation. The Miss UGA Scholarship Pageant is a program within UGA's Division of Student Affairs.

World Cup Fever Begins With Budweiser and Fox Sports Doc
With the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil kicking off in 99 days, the sports network and the tournament's official beer sponsor teamed up to create "Rise as One," a six-part series premiering on March 25.
The countdown is on for the 2014 FIFA World Cup.
Before the global sporting event kicks off in Rio de Janeiro in 99 days, Fox Sports and Budweiser have teamed up to present Rise as One, a six-episode series about the love of the game premiering on March 25 at 8 p.m. ET on Fox Sports 1.
STORY: ESPN Anticipates More World Cup Growth in 2014 Before Rights Expire
Like the highly anticipated tournament, the documentary airs in 55 countries around the world and focuses on six soccer -- or football as it is most commonly referred to -- stories from across the globe.
VIDEO: H&M Campaign Featuring Soccer Legend David Beckham
Created by veteran filmmakers Scott Boggins and Gabriel Spitzer, the series spans international borders, race, gender and politics, as it tells how the sport has helped people overcome their cultural differences to unite.
STORY: Summer Box Office: How Studios Plan to Avoid a World Cup Smackdown
Among the groundbreaking stories that are featured in the series are an exhibition match against Brazil that helped lift spirits in war-torn Haiti; the U.S. and Iranian teams going head-to-head in 1998 amidst a volatile political environment; how a plane crash killed all but three of Zambia's national team; and a frozen "football" match between British and French troops in World War I when the soldiers declared a secret cease-fire to have a kick around.
STORY: LACMA Exhibit 'Futbol: The Beautiful Game' Celebrates Art Inspired by the Sport
As well as being the official sponsor of the World Cup, Budweiser will act as a partner on the Kicking + Screening Soccer Film Festival, a series of soccer cultural events celebrating the beautiful game in New York City April 8-11.
Watch a the official trailer for Rise as One below:

Jabra Extreme - For PC hands-on
Jabra is currently in the process of unleashing a whole range of consumer VoIP-specific accessories onto the market, including a mass market version of its, previously, business-centric Speak 410 conference call-friendly speakerphone. But that still requires a USB connection to work, and is, therefore, not wireless.
As the company's mantra is that hands-free is king, so much so that its office in Denmark is a designated hands-free area under penalty of detention, it naturally has a range of Bluetooth headsets that work with Internet voice calling.
One of which is the new Jabra Extreme - For PC. Already available in the US, it is to make its way to the UK in the next month to 6weeks, and is effectively based on the mobile phone offering with a similar name. It's also Skype-certified.
The pack contains the headset, a USB dongle, a mains charger (European in our sample, but a UK will be supplied over here) a USB charging extension to reinvigorate the device directly from a computer, and a couple of alternate earbuds and larger clip.
There's also a disc with Jabra's PC Suite software, user manuals and the ability to register your device automatically, but we found that the USB dongle installed cleanly the moment it was put into a PC. And it paired with the headset from the get go, as soon as the latter was switched on.
The Jabra Extreme headset can also pair with up to seven other Bluetooth devices, so you can also use it with your mobile phone, Skype or no. And two at a time - a neat bonus. Plus, it can be paired with a PlayStation 3 - but then, that applies to any Bluetooth headset. Certainly, there's an appeal in using it for multi-player gaming instead of bulky cans.
Sadly, there's no way to pair it with an Xbox 360, even with the dongle. But, maybe that's something for the future... Are you listening Jabra?
Its primary use, though, is as a VoIP headset, and comes with full Skype-certification so you can be guaranteed it'll work with that specific service. It's truly plug'n'play in that respect - it just asks if you want to use the headset from within the Skype browser.
Certainly, this is an important strategy for Jabra, as general manager of EMEA Mobile, Viggo Olsen, told Pocket-lint: "Skype is the world's largest international telecoms carrier with 25 per cent of all international calls.
"And 90 per cent of all VoIP calls are through Skype. That is why we've partner with them."
He also added, "71.57 per cent of Skype users are in EMEA (Europe, Middle East and Africa)." Daunting figures indeed, and a good reason why it was vital to get the Jabra Extreme - For PC onto the UK market.
The company hasn't skimped on features either. While the headset itself is plain and simple to use (on/off switch, volume controls and pairing button) it houses some of Jabra's top-end technologies, such as dual microphones and its proprietary Noise Blackout Extreme system, which filters out ambient sounds to leave clear vocal audio.
It also, unlike many rivals, will stream live audio, music, podcasts, etc. into the earpiece as it's compliant with A2DP.
There is, however, one slight problem. While the audio quality into the earpiece is excellent, we were less impressed with the sound coming out at the other end (and have included a sample MP3 of a conversation to listen to). It's no worse than peers in a similar price bracket (around £80) and better than many Skype-certified handsets, but never as good as a dedicated microphone.
Listen to a sample recording
But then, that's not what the Jabra Extreme - For PC is meant to be. It doesn't profess to be adept at recording podcasts, nor will it replace a high-end webcam for a stationary position. What it does, is allow you to take calls via Skype or another VoIP service while remaining hands-free and mobile, and for that it warrants further investigation.

UW President Cross talks to Hornacek about System's future
On a recent visit to UW-Green Bay, the president of the University of Wisconsin System, Ray Cross, sat down with WLUK-TV investigative reporter Robert Hornacek for a half-hour interview broadcast on the "CW 14 Focus" public affairs program. Cross talks about the recent state budget cuts, his views on tenure, perceptions of UW System "ivory tower arrogance"… and also 300-bushel-an-acre corn yields, spittle beetles, calls for merger of UW Colleges and the state tech schools, and more. Interesting conversation.
Faculty note: Voelker channels Paine in Pittsburgh lecture
Historian David Voelker, associate professor of Humanistic Studies, recently delivered an invited lecture titled "'To Begin the World Over Again': Thomas Paine and the American Founding" for Grove City College's American Founders Luncheon Series Lectures in downtown Pittsburgh. The talk focused on what Voelker calls Paine's "civil religion of reason." He also reflected on how Paine might respond to our 21st-century challenges, noting: "I think that if Paine were to visit us today, he would ask us questions about where power has accumulated in our society and how that has affected the prospects of equal opportunities for all. Paine believed that the earth was an inheritance equally of all people, present and future, so I imagine that he would also ask difficult questions about how we are stewarding this marvelous gift." Voelker also gave a "shout out" to colleague Harvey Kaye, whose 2005 book, Thomas Paine and the Promise of America, informs his thinking about Paine's legacy.
Meanwhile, Kaye prepares to host Brookhiser visit
Another fan of Thomas Paine is Richard Brookhiser, historian, author and nationally known conservative intellectual, who'll be on campus for a Historical Perspectives Lecture Series appearance at 7 p.m. next Tuesday (Oct. 6) in the University Union. His campus host, Prof. Harvey Kaye of Democracy and Justice Studies, is promoting the lecture. He offers a sneak preview of Brookhiser's talk on Lincoln and the Founders by sharing a link to his own Daily Beast review of the author's recent book, Founders' Son: A Life of Lincoln.
Weinschenk interviewed for Governing magazine
The research of political scientist Aaron Weinschenk, assistant professor of Public and Environmental Affairs, is cited in a Governing magazine article on upcoming mayoral elections nationwide, the fact Democrats continue to dominate big-city races, and the relatively high degree of voter apathy. On this latter topic, the mention of Weinschenk (and UWGB) is near the end of the piece.
Public Safety earns $10,000 grant for OWI enforcement
Nearly $600,000 is being awarded to police and sheriff's departments in communities across Northeast Wisconsin to fund extra patrols targeting drunk drivers. Recipients of $10,000 grants as part of the initiative were the campus police force divisions at UW-Green Bay and UW-Oshkosh. WBAY-TV 2 carried a news feature earlier this week about the effort.
UWGB faculty participate in boosting liberal education
On Thursday and Friday, Sept. 24 and 25, seven UW-Green Bay faculty members traveled to Madison to attend "Connecting Your Work to LEAP Wisconsin: A Faculty Collaboratives Conference."
Organized by the UW System and AACU — the national Association of American Colleges and Universities — the conference focused on strategies for providing he highest quality learning experiences for students, connecting essential learning outcomes to institutional disciplines, and assessing student learning.
The nationwide LEAP initiative (Liberal Education and America's Promise) seeks to advance liberal learning and high-quality undergraduate education for all students. Wisconsin and the UW System were pilot partners when the campaign launched in 2005. Workshops at the recent Madison conference included Advocacy, Signature Work, Tuning, Providing Evidence of Student Learning, Curriculum Mapping for General Education, and Value Rubrics.
The UW-Green Bay participants (from left, photo below) were JP Leary, assistant professor, First Nations Studies; Jennifer Ham, associate professor, Humanistic Studies; Heidi Fencl, professor and chair, Physics; Alison Gates, associate professor and chair, Art; Doreen Higgins, associate professor, Social Work; Kate Burns, associateprofessor and chair, Psychology and Human Development; and Matt Dornbush, associate vice provost for academic affairs and director of graduate Studies.
Pattern and Perimeter: Chalk art on the plaza
It's an assignment that teaches a lesson in relationship between harmonious and congruous visual elements. And the pleasurable patterns are fun and aesthetically appealing to those who walk the Student Services plaza each day. Prof. Alison Stehlik's Design Methods class took chalk to the plaza this week. The assignment: "As a group, collect some examples of interesting wallpaper or some other sort of repeating visual pattern. As a group, discuss the visual characteristics of each selected pattern. In particular discuss the associations, stereotypes, and experiences that you have with them. Choose one pattern to use as a reference for a large-scale drawing to be reproduced in the student union plaza. Utilize an analogous color scheme, and a perimeter design that contrasts from your associations and visual expectations of the design/pattern. As a group problem solve to determine the best way to enlarge and transfer the drawing onto the concrete in the plaza. Your group's site must be agreed upon before you begin; it must be at least 15 ft. from any entrance, it must be on gray/white cement pads not the decorative terra cotta slabs. Your design must anchor to some architectural element within the space."
Social media specialist Jena Richter captured the artists in progress. Take a walk and see it for yourself before rain, dew or frost washes it away.

Psychologists to hold EPIC conference
It started with a small group of high school psychology and college teachers getting together to discuss professional development opportunities. It has turned into something "EPIC."
On Saturday, October 10, the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay Psychology faculty will host more than 40 educators from the Midwest, for the 2015 Excellence in Psychology Instruction Conference (EPIC).
Topics and breakout sessions include Understanding the Brain, Innovative Uses of Teaching Technology, Integrating Research into Your Classroom, and more. A full agenda can be found here.
UW-Green Bay Psychology Prof. Regan A. R. Gurung, past recipient of the Wisconsin Professor of the Year Award from the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching, will present the keynote, "Cultivating Learning: Capitalizing on the Science of Learning."
"A small group of psychology teachers from around Northeastern Wisconsin have been working on bringing all the great psychology teachers from the region together for a day of sharing ideas, techniques, content, and more," said Prof. Ryan Martin, Chair of UWGB's Psychology program. "There are so many great psychology teachers throughout the area but we rarely get to talk to one another. We're hoping this conference will help us forge these new relationships and this becomes a consortium of teachers who continue to work together, share ideas, and provide students with many opportunities."
Serving on the planning committee: Gurung, Martin and Prof. Georjeanna Wilson-Doenges from UWGB; Jeff Gumz, Green Bay West; Chris Hamp, West DePere and Amy Ramponi, Kimberly school districts.
The fee is only $20 and includes lunch. For more information or to register.
Photos: Red moon over Green Bay
Staff member Dan Moore of UW-Green Bay caught these images of the full lunar eclipse Sunday night, Sept. 27. In full eclipse, the moon appears coppery red even when passing through the earth's shadow because of diffused light bouncing off this planet's atmosphere. Sky watchers were especially excited because the eclipse occurred during a full moon period in which the moon's orbit was at its closest to earth, making it appear larger. Moore, an art photographer, is a web marketing and data specialist with the UW-Green Bay Office of Outreach and Adult Access.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is warning Israel will do what is necessary to prevent weapons from falling into the hands of Islamic extremists in Syria.
Rebel fighters there are seeking chemical weapons to help fight President Bashar al-Assad's regime.
"The main arms of concern to us are the arms that are already in Syria - these are anti-aircraft weapons, these are chemical weapons and other very, very dangerous weapons that could be game changers," he said.
CBN News Mideast Bureau Chief Chris Mitchell shared his insights on the matter on Newswatch, April 18.
Netanyahu told the BBC the Jewish state fears those weapons will fall into the hands of al Qaeda or Hezbollah militants.
He warned that if that happens, "they will change the conditions, the balance of power in the Middle East. They could present a terrorist threat on a worldwide scale. It is definitely our interest to defend ourselves, but we also think it is in the interest of other countries" because the Middle East will fall into the hands of terrorists.
Netanyahu said Israel has, "the right to act to prevent that from happening."
When asked if Israel had plans to adopt an aggressive military stance in Syria, Netanyahu said: "We are not aggressive. We don't seek military confrontation, but we are prepared to defend ourselves if the need arises and I think people know that what I say is both measured and serious."

Jews are followers of Judaism - religions do not have homelands. No follower of any religion has any right to any land anywhere in the world - never did and never will. The colonial war which established a new nation on the land of Palestine was and is no different to the war which established the United States. The only defence Israel has is as a coloniser, like all the others and like all the others, Israel must either establish one secular state with equal rights for all or two separate states on pre:67 borders or whatever borders it can negotiate with the indigenous Palestinians. Israel may then choose to have a religiously defined State which discriminates against those who are not members of the Jewish religion but it will not be a democracy and it will remain reviled by the free world. The mistake which Israelis continue to make is trying to define themselves by a religion when of course, even in borderless Israel, nearly a quarter of Israelis are not Jewish anyway. You can defend a nation called Israel and you can negotiate for legitimate borders but there will never be any rights conferred as the result of religious belief.

Lewis Hamilton in peak condition after mountain workout
London: McLaren`s Lewis Hamilton reported back to work in peak condition after a winter workout high in the Colorado Rockies.
The 2008 world champion had not driven a Formula One car since last November but he returned to the cockpit at Spain`s Valencia circuit with a clear sense of optimism about the campaign ahead.
With a new full-time trainer in Finland`s Antti Vierula, who has previous experience coaching Olympic athletes, Hamilton said he had gone higher than ever to make sure he started the season fitter and faster than ever.
"It`s perfect being at high altitude, it`s a lot more hard work so that when you come back down to sea level you really start seeing the benefit," he told reporters after lapping in last year`s car.
"I just enjoy it. Waking up in the morning and going hiking up a mountain with clear blue skies: There`s no substitute for that...it`s also good for the soul, good for your spirit, to be in nice beautiful places."
Hamilton said he felt fitter than ever after training two or three times a day.
"I think every year I always approach the same but sometimes your training doesn`t go as well, or you are more drained by appearances that you do, or certain things that you do," added the 26-year-old.
Alonso Quickest
"This year it has been a lot clearer and the training has been a lot better and more efficient. I`m feeling a lot better about the car and I always want it more."
Hamilton will also have his father and former manager Anthony around the paddock more than last year, when they ended their business relationship, since Hamilton senior is now managing British rookie Paul di Resta at Force India.
The McLaren man has yet to appoint a new manager but he said that situation was close to being resolved as well with clear candidates identified.
His team are due to unveil their new car in Berlin on Friday, later than their main rivals who already had theirs on track in Valencia.
Ferrari`s Fernando Alonso, his every move followed by eager fans on home soil, was quickest on the second day of the season`s first test in the new F150.
Red Bull`s world champion Sebastian Vettel was second on the timing screens on a frustrating day for Australian team mate Mark Webber who managed only 17 laps late in the afternoon after setup problems.
Venezuelan rookie Pastor Maldonado had his first taste of the new Williams while Team Lotus gave their T128 its track debut, although their running was cut short with a power-steering problem.

Season 26
| Season 26
| Season Information
Season 26 is the latest season of The Simpsons. It premiered on September 28, 2014 and concluded in May 17, 2015[1]. It will have 22 episodes.[2] It premiered with Clown in the Dumps with a character death. A skin for Krusty was released on The Simpsons: Tapped Out for the Season Premiere.
Kevin Reilly, Chairman of Entertainment for the Fox Broadcasting Company, announced on October 4, 2013 that The Simpsons will be going into its twenty-sixth season.[3] "For more than a quarter of a century, THE SIMPSONS has captured the hearts and minds of fans in a way that transcends ages, languages and cultures," said Reilly. "This groundbreaking series is not only the longest-running scripted show in television history, it's one of the greatest sitcoms of our time, and I'm looking forward to yet another landmark season."
Death clues[edit]
|This article or section needs to be cleaned up to fit in with the Manual of Style.
- (To see who died see Character death)
Some clues about the Springfield resident who passed away on the Season Premiere were given by the media:
The character to die would have appeared more than twice in the show and will be voiced by an Emmy Award-winning voice actor who won an Emmy for the role as the character. This will be the season 26 premiere. As Al Jean said,[99] it won't be Edna Krabappel, due to Marcia Wallace's death[100] and Hank Azaria confirmed that it wasn't one of his characters.[101] However, Homer won't be who dies.

"When you get into the larger aircraft it becomes like a hotel, with dozens of staff supporting the plane based in a galley area down below. You have very comprehensive cooking facilities, and on larger aircraft we have looked at theatres, with spiral staircases and a Steinway grand piano. The limitations for what you can put inside a plane are pretty much the limits of physics, and even money cannot always overcome that. Even so, people are still always trying to push [the limits]. "

Recent Los Angeles County reviews
"Loved this beach house! The location is perfect and the furnishings are as pretty as the pictures! Having a garage and a/c was a definite bonus. The host was very helpful in recommending places to go and things to see/do and made sure we had everything we needed. Loved being able to hear the ocean at night. Will definitely stay here again."Guest: Leigh Date of Stay: September 2015 Review Submitted: September 28, 2015View listing
"We loved staying at The Standard. It is nicely restored, very vintage, fun and comfortable. The neighborhood is a lovely, upscale older neighborhood that is fun to walk through and very close to the Norton Simon Museum and the Old Pasadena shops and restaurants. The location is great, as it is easy to get to just about anywhere if you have "non-commute time" traffic, and Pasadena is on the metro light-rail line. Also, it is fairly close to a Whole Foods, which is important if you need a picnic for the Hollywood Bowl. And the Hollywood Bowl has a shuttle bus from Pasadena, so that works perfectly too! Overall, we loved it and felt like we had the classic vintage Southern California experience. We want to go back next year, as there is so much to do we couldn't possibly do it in 4 days."Guest: Gina O. Date of Stay: September 2015 Review Submitted: September 25, 2015View listing
"We stayed in this sweet home for a weekend in November. It was the perfect time to visit Pasadena - sunny, but not overly warm. The house was very clean, and absolutely adorable. It had an older home charm, and hip and artsy decorations. The three bedrooms and two baths were perfect for our party of 5 people. We especially loved the dining room area, which had a fantastic large rustic table. We spent most of our time in the house sitting around this table together. The neighborhood is lovely, with many tree-lined streets and a short drive to downtown Pasadena."Guest: Meghann Date of Stay: October 2014 Review Submitted: November 5, 2014View listing
"I had the privilege to spend the last 3 weeks at this property. The location was excellent and the accommodation's were A+++. Clean, quiet, safe and the amenities made you feel right at home. The owners; Carol and Traian made me feel part of the family and met all my needs during my vacation. I would strongly recommend this property to anyone who like to stay in the Belmont Shore area. You are walking to distance to the famous 2nd street area that includes the best restaurant's and nightlife when on vacation. I know I will be returning in the near future. I guarantee you will not be disappointed for the value."Guest: Vtech Date of Stay: August 2015 Review Submitted: September 9, 2015View listing

Horses adapt to their environments by developing helpful physical characteristics, such as long, broad teeth for chewing flat leaves, long ears sensitive to detecting subtle sounds, and sturdy hooves and fast legs which help horses run from danger. Modern horses come in seven distinct species and classify into many different breeds. Some physical features vary among breeds, such as weight, height and color patterns, but all horses bear the common characteristics of four legs, a barrel-shaped body, long neck, tail and fur-covered coat.Know More
These core features help horses survive in different types of environments. Generally, wild horses survive in temperate or colder climates, and in areas with wide open spaces and plenty of grass. Ancient horses lived in forested areas, differing from modern horses in size and hoof structure. The hooves of ancient horses branched into three or four distinct toes, much like modern deer. Over time, horses developed the single-toed hoof structure found on surviving species. These hooves give horses power and stability for moving across large tracts of land. Ultimately, this trait enhances horses' chances of survival in the wild, as they naturally flee from predators and danger. Hard hooves also help horses travel across rocky and uneven terrain, valuable for escaping predators and to keep moving. Longer legs also give modern horses more power and speed, helping them flee. Horses have long teeth, helping them chew tough vegetation without suffering tooth loss. Large eyes give horses exceptional vision, while large nostrils and ears help detect danger.Learn more about Barnyard Mammals
The average horse can run at about 30 miles per hour. Horses that are bred to run long distances have been recorded to run up to 40 miles per hour. Quarter horses bred for racing short distances have been reported to run as fast as 50 miles per hour. The highest race speed is recorded at 43.97 miles per hour by Winning Brew in Grantville, PA. on May 14, 2008.Full Answer >
According the Bureau of Land Management, feral horses can be found in Arizona, Nevada, Wyoming, Montana and North Carolina. Modern horses are descended from species that originated in Eastern Europe, Asia and Mongolia, and wild specimens still live in these regions.Full Answer >
Horses eat a combination of hay created from dried grasses and legumes, supplemental grains like oats and barley, and sometimes treats in small amounts like apples, carrots and sugar cubes. The type of feed a horse eats depends on regional availability, performance needs and a horse's size.Full Answer >
Horses typically sleep standing up, though they do lie down during REM sleep. They stay upright even when unconscious due to ligaments and tendons within their legs that lock into place when their hips rotate slightly during rest. This system of ligaments and tendons is called the stay apparatus.Full Answer >

Overall score
would recommend to a friend.
Reviewer score
Would recommend
beach get away.
my husband and I go to ocean city several times a year. we have stayed at lots of hotels up and down the coastal highway. with that in mind let me give you my honest opinion on this hotel. first of all its beautiful. if you are going to the beach
with kids this is the place for you. it has a nice ice skating rink, indoor pool, snacks area, and the staff are super. our kids are grown now but we use to take them here. the price was fair. it's clean and a short bike ride from the boardwalk. I would stay here again.
Best place for friends hanging out
The ocean view from the room was awesome. We could access to the beach with just couple minutes walk. The room is clean and broad. People who works there are very nice too.
Great for family vacation
The room was a tad lackluster for the price--however we went one of the most expensive towns of the year: Memorial Day. Carousel is great for a family with an indoor and outdoor pool and indoor skating rink. The outdoor grill and bar was tasty and
affordable. The indoor restaurant was lovely and overlooked the water. Beach is beautiful and well maintained. Not close to the boardwalk, which for a Family resprt is a good thing. Will return with family.
Great 3 days in September
I love Ocean City in September. Its still warm enough for beach but there is zero traffic. Everything is still open but no wait or crowd. The hotel was very nice and the staff was genuine. Having hockey player kids it was nice to skate a little so
they could show off their moves. Free beach chairs was easy to use. Staff and policies were very accomodating. Good location on the main stretch and nice views. Ocean front room was great but not amazing. Balconies are shaped in a way that make them private. Overall great experience.
Good clean family fun
We took a 4 year old, and a ten year old. They lived the ice skating and the pool. The man running the ice rink was very pleasant. It was nice that the pool stayed open until 10 pm.
Great Stay
I choose to stay at Carousel often for business trips. They have great amenities and staff. Wifi is good, fitness room is good, pool area is nice, outdoor space is nice, the views of the beach are fantastic, and they have a huge parking lot and
parking garage. The location is a bit off the main strip of Ocean City, but I prefer that when I'm working instead of vacationing. There is a cheap Beach Bus that can take you downtown though. The only complaint I have is that it seems like the patio/balcony slider doors in several of the rooms I've stayed in are off the track making it difficult to open and shut. Other than that, everything is great. I'll continue staying there when I got to Ocean City.
amazing experience living there
Carousel is a beautiful hotel with swimming pool and skating place inside. This hotel is just by the sea, 2 minutes walk to the sea. You can even enjoy the wonderful sunrise view in the room, which is an amazing experience.
Fun family hotel
We stayed here out of season, in early November, with our four children aged 0 through 4 years. The indoor pool was large, clean and provided the main source of amusement. We had been expecting the ice rink to be the main attraction, but were
informed upon arriving that it was closed during our stay. We realized later it was because the hotel rents to conferences and covers the rink in order to do so. So, if the ice rink is important to you, be sure to confirm close to your actual date whether it will indeed be open. The outdoor pirate ship playground is a nice touch. The onsite restaurant has pleasant wait staff, but the food is average given the cost. The game room is geared towards teenagers, and the prize games are seemingly impossible ever to win, so don't waste your money. The rooms were clean, but the beds and pillows are well used and not very comfortable. All in all, we might go back, but only if the ice rink were open.
Check the pool hours before you promise your kids a morning swim! During the week, at least in off season, it is closed for aquafit and other programs until 1PM.
Great weekend getaway
This hotel has everything you need. Right on the beach, restaurants inside the hotel, ice skating rink and pool and sauna. Plenty of shopping and fun family things to do all around.
Hotel was very nice, comfortable room. Ocean view beautiful. Only wish I could have had a room higher up. Balcony right over the pool bar. website did not say this hotel was non smoking in the entire building. Found out when we checked in. Was
upset by this Should have included this
A lot of places not open after season. Difficult to find a good restaurant since we did not know the area

Chandrillans don't like BIG files!6 months ago News 5 comments Report
Nobody enjoys downloading huge files, right? Update 0.3.1b is uploaded and it's smaller than ever before! Better compression, HQ and Lite-versions, updated...
This Mod aims to replace nearly all in-game textures (which are quite low res compared to the textures in games nowadays) with improved hi-rez textures faithful to the original style of the game and/or with custom textures all of 2 times (some even 8! times) the original size. It is perfectly safe and very easy to install or uninstall from your system because it will not alter the files in your installation folder directly.
More detailed instructions will be included in the release(s).
NOTE: This mod will not improve meshes or models, it is merely a texture mod. Also the id tech 3 egine does not support normal-maps, so please don't request me doing those, it's not possible for me, only someone who knows how to compile maps and how to write shaders for this game can achieve a somehow normal-map-like effect by baking the normals into the lighting of the map, as i've read somewhere.
I do not have the resources to test my mod on different systems apart from my gaming rig, so if someone would kindly help and post his system specs and the framerate or general performance when using my mod i can provide minimum spec info for other players. Now I don't think you need a strong pc for this to work fluently, but your graphics card should probably have 128 megs of ram. but this is just an assumption!
If there is someone who has experience with the id tech 3 engine and its modelling tools and would like to help and take this mod on a new level - please contact me, i'm quite positive on improving the models and meshes too which would then be a total cosmetic overhaul mod improving all graphics throughout the game.
The 0.3 release is a combined pack including all other packs released prior to version 0.3.
I recommend downloading 0.3 + 0.3h & 0.3.1b (the newest release) instead of the seperate packs for the full experience. It is very big but recommended for download!
DELETE ALL OTHER PACKS WHEN USING THE v.0.3 + 0.3h & 0.3.1b!!
I will upload each modded level as a single file aswell as combined in a mega-pack because that final release will probably take up a lot of space, 1 gig or more.
Info for fellow modders: Some raw Textures come from Mayang's free Texture site at Mayang.com Every texture included in the mod is either heavily altered, custom made or an altered version of the original textures. Of course I permit usage of all of my custom made textures in any altered form in other packs and/or mods as far as it is no-profit and combined with proper credit to Mayang (?) and me. :D This does not apply to the altered original textures - credit and thanks to Raven for those!
Update 4th April 2015
Some have reported issues with missing environment textures of the Hoth-level retexture. This is a fix for that issue but the pack also includes some more improvements.
The problem was solved similar to the fix of the Chandrilla-level, by resizing the huge 8192px textures down to 4096px (plus improving on the realism and making the textures more fitting the Hoth we all know from The Empire Strikes Back). Also I fixed some tiling issues which were still present on the ground texture of the first retexture of Echo base. This is an addition to Full Version 0.3 and 0.3.1b, so please use all three packs together for the best experience, I put the links at the end of this article.
Some Impressions:
IMPORTANT! Please download the packs and install by unzipping to >your JKA directory</gamedata/base aswell as deleting pack 0.3.1! If you already have other packs of my mod installed please delete all prior to build 0.3! This ensures every texture will be displayed properly.
I wish you all a nice week!
Please follow my mod for further updates!!
As always I want to point out that feedback helps a lot in improving this mod even further! The Jedi Academy Texture Overhaul
Have fun!!

Hello. The last patch 1.4 - Hoth contents previous lvls patches?
Hi! No, Hoth is a stand-alone-level because of it's huge size. I recommend downloading the combined pack, and then adding the newer Tatooine level (1.3), aswell as the new Hoth level (1,4).
Have Fun!! :)
Beautiful! I'd love to see this done for outcast too, and I think I'll play through academy again once your done =)
I love Jedi Academy. Still play it til this day.
Good luck.
But the older textures appear to have more detail; yours seem less detailed, though sharper.
Well that's sort of true in the hoth level. i wanted to achieve a more clean and icy look for the environment, less rocky/snowy. So that explains why the textures may seem less detailed on the thunbnails. if you compare them to the original in full view, you should be able to make out that the original textures are much more blurry - thus also their detail is not as clear ingame. My textures have a much higher resolution, thus everything is in fact more detailed ;) In some other levels i focused much more on adding detail, see this pic for example please :)
but thank you for your feedback! If there is a special texture which you don't find fitting please tell me.
Thank you :)
Loved the Hoth retexture what are you planning to redo next?
Wheres the hoth download? :P
I already uploaded it two hours ago, but it has to be authed by moddb ;)
Ok its up! thanks!
Hi just wanted to let all those Battlefront fans know that there is a page on facebook with 5,500 likes called "Who Else Wants Star Wars Battlefront III ?"

Making the most of a quick trip to Chile
By Jane Wooldridge
Q: My wife and I are going to Chile to spend a few days with our daughter, who is attending a study program in Valparaiso. We have four days between the time our daughter goes back to school and our flight to Buenos Aires, where I'm attending a conference. We will already have spent a few days in Santiago, so we're looking for something else to do. What do you recommend?
A: One of the most beautiful places in the world, in my opinion, is Torre del Paine National Park in Southern Chile. Getting there involves both a flight plus a long drive — so unless you can figure out a way to carve out a few more days, that probably won't work for you.

If you're into wine travel, you could drive a couple of hours north or south of Santiago; each direction offers a terrific wine experience where you can stay in a historic hacienda-style estate and make forays to various local vineyards. The Colchagua Valley to the north has created an easy-to-follow wine route (www.rutadelvino.cl), based out of Santa Clara. To the South, the Maipo Valley is home to Santa Rita, Conchy & Toro, Underraga and other well-known makers of lusty reds that also give tours.
You could also catch a flight to Puerto Montt to visit the lake district, or — if you can get space on the limited flights — fly five hours west to Easter Island. The country's official tourism website is www.chile.travel.
