Woman Angered by Charlton Heston Postage Stamps
She's stunned, STUNNED I tell you, in this letter to the editor:
Tuesday I went to the Post Office to purchase a stamp. I was stunned when the postmistress slapped a stamp bearing an image of Charleston Heston on the envelope.
Whatever Mr. Heston might have accomplished as a movie star is tarnished forever to me and millions like me, who will forever equate him as the face of the National Rifle Association.
The name ãCharleston Hestonã does not bring to my mind his film characters like Moses or Ben Hur. By far, his most memorable moment was as he stood before an NRA convention, rifle raised high, defiantly shouting ãover my cold dead body.ã Shame on the United States Postal Service for honoring such an individual.
Fortunately, there are millions who are not like her.

It makes one wonder- does she feel the same depth of revulsion for Three Men and a Baby? Does she ever actually THINK about the opinions she spouts? I'm going to guess… No.

ãover my cold dead body.ã?!
She didn't even get the quote right!

It's all right, Steve, she can't spell his name either.
She has a "postmistress," so, really, no room to talk there. Kink-y.
At a certain point, these self-declarations take on a nostalgic, Early Atomic Age kind of vibe, like a hipster Beatnik costume party. Ban the bomb, burn the bra, grab the guns, and Solid Airity Forevah!

Looks like it's time for a trip to the Post Office!

I guess his work with MLK doesn't count either?
"don't confuse me with facts, it doesn't match my beliefs and what my teachers in school taught me about the people who wish gun violence on us…it must be wrong….the facts are wrong….wrong wrong wrong wrong wrong"

Postmistress? Hmmm.
When I was a teen, I had the serious hots for the postal carrier in my dad's neighborhood. Since then, I've noticed that USPS seems to have a high percentage of very attractive female carriers. And that's above & beyond the 'women-in-uniform' fetish.

Forest Service is shutting down access to OHVs
They closed the forest to the lumberjacks
And I did not speak up
Because I was not a lumberjack
Then they closed the forest to the OHV community
And I did not speak up
Because I was not part of the OHV community
Then they closed many of the forest camping locations
And I did not speak up
Because I was not a camper
Then they closed the forest for my favorite activity
And there was no one left to speak for me.
This seems to be the destiny of the national forests. The local off-highway vehicle community as well as hunters and others have been working in cooperation with the Shasta-Trinity National Forest identifying old logging roads and trails. These roads have been around for years but never added to the Forest Service inventory. Since they never were on the inventory, the Forest Service never spent money to maintain them.
The Forest Service was very open to public assistance, and asked for our help in identifying where we ride. The agency even has a Web site for it: www.fs.fed.us/r5/shastatrinity/news/ohv. The local community responded and spent many hours identifying the longtime existing trails and roads that suddenly were classified as "unauthorized." Right off the Web site we are told, via a Feb. 19, 2005, Record Searchlight article:
"Shasta-Trinity Supervisor Sharon Heywood said OHVs are a legitimate use of public forests. Riders will be asked which routes they feel should be designated.'
" 'It's a very difficult thing to do, to prove we are trustworthy,' Heywood said. 'But I think you'll find we're keeping our word and that we need your involvement and cooperation.' "
The story also reported, "OHVs still will be allowed on official Forest Service roads, just like any car or truck."
After we provided the Forest Service information leading to 1,200 miles of roads and trails called "unauthorized," they took the information behind closed doors. When the doors were opened again, they showed us a proposal of 32 miles of road that they are willing to consider. Now I'm told that those may be reduced as well. That is 2.67 percent of what was identified. They are offering us less than 3 percent access to the trails we identified for them. I really believe the "hard to prove we are trustworthy" statement on their Web site was an honest statement.
The Shasta-Trinity is closing many gravel Forest Service roads referencing a California Motor Vehicle Code calling them "highways" when the CHP has clearly written (I have seen the letter) and explained that these roads are not highways. Take the time to visit the Forest Service office north of the Redding Municipal Airport to see where you used to go in the forest for a ride, or where you may have camped before, as they probably are removed from the proposal maps. Everything is now declared closed and illegal unless it is on the new maps. Fines can go as high as $5,000 for riding or camping where you used to. Speak up now before they close your forest activity.

About the emeriti faculty collections:
Richard Edwards, Professor Emeritus of Far Eastern Art
Richard Edwards not only managed to create a permanent home for The Palace Collection here at the VRC, but donated thousands of images of his own taken throughout his travels to Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. He was also instrumental in encouraging Dr. Kozo Sasaki to donate his collection of teaching imagery to the VRC.
Ilene Forsyth, Arthur F. Thurnau Professor Emerita of the History of Art
Ilene Forsyth created the Romanesque Collection of 5,500 study photographs illustrating the French monuments focusing on Romanesque sculpture. This browsing collection allows students and scholars to compare the intricate details of these landmark pieces. She also supports the ongoing research in her late husband George Forsyth's ground-breaking documentation of St. Catherine's Monastery in the Sinai Peninsula.
David Huntington, Professor of History of Art (deceased)
David Huntington contributed tens of thousands of slides taken during his research on Frederic Edwin Church. He was also instrumental in the saving of the Church's Olana estate. Making widely available his skillful detail shots will provide much scholarly research for years to come.
Diane Kirkpatrick, Arthur F Thurnau Professor and Professor Emerita of History of Art
The more than 30,000 images collected by Diane Kirkpatrick are being processed for greater access. This collection, painstakingly identified by Professor Kirkpatrick, represents the best of the modern art field at its critical expansion of art and technology. They are richly taken and were created through her personal relationships in the art world. The images are interdisciplinary and provide research in other areas, such as Judaic, African-American, and women's studies.
2013 Undergraduate Students Curate George Bellows Exhibit Slideshow
Students and Prof. Rebecca Zurier in front the of the 59th Street Bridge, the subject of a George Bellows painting The Bridge, Blackwell's Island, around which the class curated an exhibition at the Toledo Museum of Art. View the slideshow here.
By Alison Reed and Judy Su
Professor Rebecca Zurier's History of Art 479: George Bellows and the Ashcan School will most likely be one of the most memorable courses in art history for many of us. It provided our class the unique opportunity to curate an exhibit at the Toledo Museum of Art while learning a considerable amount about New York in the early-twentieth century, a fascinating period for American art.
Our exhibition, George Bellows and New York: 1900-1940, February 14th to April 16th, 2013, is based on Bellows' The Bridge: Blackwell's Island, held at the Toledo Museum of Art. Our exhibit is open concurrently with George Bellows, a major retrospective that started in Washington D.C. and moved to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York during the fall of 2012. Because of conditional issues, The Bridge: Blackwell's Island could not leave the Toledo museum, and so is not included in the retrospective. This provided the perfect opportunity to create an exhibition in nearby Toledo focused around this painting while the retrospective is on view in New York.
One of the most exciting aspects of the class was our interaction with the staff at the Toledo Museum of Art. Many of us who had only been learning about art and museums in an academic setting had our first opportunity to experience what working in an actual museum is like. We met with several of the staff at the museum, including Carolyn Putney, the chief curator, and Tim Motz, the media specialist, who helped us learn how to create a strong exhibit. Tom Loeffler, curator of works on paper, assisted us in collectively choosing the prints and drawings to supplement the focal painting of our exhibit.
In curating the exhibit, we divided into groups, each one having a contact at the museum to help guide us through the process. We all learned a lot about how much goes into an exhibition, including times when our hopes couldn't be met because of the constraints of museum work in practice as opposed to theory. In addition to our group work, we each wrote a label for one of the pieces that we picked out as a class, working with Paula Reich, the museum's curatorial project manager. Working with the Toledo Museum of Art staff was incredible informative and fun. They really helped us improve our work, and had a lot of great stories to tell.
Our class was also fortunate enough to go to New York City to view the George Bellows retrospective and to do more research on our exhibition topic. We also visited many spaces that Bellows and his peers depicted of their New York lives.
Our first stop once we reached the city was the 59th Street Bridge itself, the subject of The Bridge, Blackwell's Island. We tried to find the angle from which we imagined Bellows was looking at the bridge when he made the painting, and took some photos that came pretty close. We then made our way to the Met, where we viewed the retrospective and afterwards gave group presentations about a chosen Bellows painting, using what we had learned throughout the semester about the artist and early-twentieth-century America. After our presentations, Lisa Messinger, one of the exhibition curators, and exhibition designer Michael Langley showed us the layout of the exhibit and answered all of our curatorial questions. We left with a better understanding of what it takes to put on an exhibit, and with plenty of ideas for our own.
The next day, we visited the proposed location of Bellows' New York (1911) and tried to figure out if the corner of Broadway and 23rd, near the Flatiron Building, was where he painted this famous piece. After deciding that he must have taken a few artistic liberties in his depiction, we went to the Woolworth building for a quick look at the beautiful architecture and decoration inside, then trekked to the Tenement Museum and the Lower East Side. There we took two tours to learn more about immigrant life in the early 1900s, since Bellows made paintings of tenement neighborhoods. Afterwards we went to see Bellows' and artist Robert Henri's houses in Gramercy Park, a huge contrast to the immigrant neighborhoods. Finally, we walked to Grand Central Terminal, another example of what made the "new" New York in that time period.
Curating an exhibit, first-hand exposure to artwork being studied in class, visiting sites depicted in the artwork. All of these factors, together with the incredible knowledge of Professor Zurier and the many museum staff with whom we interacted, gave us a greater depth of understanding, and an academic experience of a lifetime.

2012 Beyond the BA: Art History Undergraduate Student Career Luncheon Slideshow
On April 3, undergraduate art history students gathered for lunch and presentations by three U-M history of art alumni. Anna Clark, Natalie Morath, and Elizabeth Yochim gave short presentations addressing how the skills they developed as art history concentrators have translated to jobs and careers after graduation. The presentations were followed by a question and answer session. Later that afternoon, Elizabeth Yochim facilitated a pARTiciPLAY session, an experiential tour of select outdoor UMMA sculptures. This movement-based technique provides a chance to learn about the sculpture and the surrounding environment in a new way while engaging sensory and spatial awareness.

2012 Room for Another View: China's Art in Disciplinary Perspective Video
Click here to view the video. Click here to view the slideshow.
While all cultures have created gems of visual art, few have written much about them. This problem has stimulated historians of art repeatedly to develop cosmopolitan theories capable of engaging all artistic traditions in meaningful ways. Roger Fry in the early-twentieth century and E. H. Gombrich in mid-century discussed and compared the arts of Asia, Africa, the Americas and Europe using models designed to make those arts meaningful to their readers. For these theorists, the rich record of artistic practice in China offered especially fertile ground for speculation, because throughout its history China produced a written record of art history, art theory, and criticism comparable to that of Europe. Towards the end of the twentieth century the discipline began to focus on the role of art in its historical context. The results were impressive, but broad, cross-cultural theorization took a back seat as a result.
The situation has changed during the past decade, with many prominent scholars in the humanities--James Elkins, Nicholas Mirzoeff, W.J.T. Mitchell, John Onians, and David Summers among others--writing ambitious tomes designed to overcome cultural parochialisms, searching for a common descriptive language for understanding art in its multiple functions. These scholars likewise found China's record of art theory useful. Some have even written books about Chinese art, just as several leading historians of China have begun to write on topics spanning "East and West" in recent years. Yet none of these scholars have had the opportunity to meet together with more than a handful of experts outside their own field to discuss their common concerns together.
Room For Another View: China's Art is Disciplinary Perspective, held during winter term 2012 on the University of Michigan campus, was the first large-scale conference to provide a forum for such scholars to come together and focus on core issues in the discipline of art history. With several of the most prominent theorists from both fields present, it was the aim of the conference to explore meta-disciplinary perspectives around such topics as academies, print, landscape, gardens, fashion, canons, and the language of art itself. China scholars offered formal presentations, previews of longer essays that will be published in the Blackwell Companion to Chinese Art (Wiley-Blackwell, 2014), but at least as important were the lively discussions that followed. These discussions included prominent scholars from across the globe as well as eminent historians, literary scholars, artists, and social scientists from the University of Michigan. During the two-day conference, men and women who have devoted much thought to cross-disciplinary study offered many nuggets of insight and wisdom that provoked and inspired all who attended.
This conference was organized by the U-M Department of History of Art and co-sponsored by the Confucius Institute at the University of Michigan and the U-M Center for Chinese Studies, with additional support from the International Institute, Institute for the Humanities, Rackham Graduate School, Office of the Vice President for Research, College of Literature, Science, and the Arts; School of Art & Design, U-M Museum of Art, Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies, and the Departments of Comparative Literature, Anthropology, Philosophy, and History.
2011 Symposium "Barbarians, Monsters, Hybrids and Mutants," Video & Slideshow
Click here to view the video. Click here to view the slideshow.
The History of Art Freer Symposium, "Barbarians, Monsters, Hybrids, and Mutants: Asian Inventions of Others," held October 22, 2011 at the U-M Museum of Art.
When and under what circumstances do people invent the concept of "the other"? This question has been posed and responded to many times over in a largely modern, colonial, Eurocentric context. However, the invention of "others" is not simply a European prerogative: it is a practice common to cultures and societies throughout the world, past and present. This timely symposium examined these issues in a visually rich, historically grounded and contextualized collection of talks and discussions that focused critical analytic attention on the manifold Asian imagination and invention of "others." The symposium highlighted and examined the robust and visually potent technologies of "othering" deployed in Asia by Asians past and present while addressing the multiple contexts, regional variations, and sets of interests, involved. In this way, it focused both multi-media representations of "others" and on how and why these variable constructions were mobilized around complex cross- and intra-cultural negotiations over time.
The symposium was organized by Professor Jennifer Robertson. Invited speakers were: Fabio Rambelli (University of California, Santa Barb era, Maurizio Peleggi (National University of Singapore), Ayelet Zohar (Haifa University, Israel), and keynote speaker Ali Behdad (University of California Los Angeles). The event concluded with a panel discussion with the speakers and professors Kevin Carr, Martin Powers, Celeste Brusati, Margaret Root, Christiane Gruber, Toyota Visiting Professor Melanie Trede, and graduate student Tina Le. The audience of over 125 consisted of both graduate and undergraduate students, faculty from U-M as well as other institutions, and members of the broader community.
This Department of History of Art event was co-sponsored by the Charles Lang Freer Endowment and the U-M Museum of Art, with additional sponsorship from the College of Literature, Science, and the Arts; Office of the Vice President for Research; Institute for the Humanities; International Institute; Rackham School of Graduate Studies; Department of Anthropology; School of Art & Design; Department of Asian Languages & Cultures; Center for Japanese Studies; Center for Middle Eastern & North African Studies; Department of History; Department of Screen Arts & Cultures; Department of Near Eastern Studies; Center for South Asian Studies.

Beyond the BA: 2011 History of Art Undergraduate Student Career Symposium
On April 4, four alumni returned to Tappan Hall to share their experience going from U-M to the real world. Mary Deyoe, Raquel Gimenez, Andrew Pierce, and Steve Roach each gave a short presentation and then convened in a panel to answer questions from students followed by a reception at the U-M Museum of Art.
History of Art students develop a sophisticated level of visual literacy, including the ability to analyze works of art and their social effects, an awareness of how values can be negotiated through visual culture, the ability to engage with a wide range of critical methods, and more. But how does this literacy translate to a job after graduation? This event helped undergraduate students answer this question and others. View the slideshow.

2011 Charles Lang Freer Lecture in the Visual Arts: Vishakha N. Desai
The University of Michigan Department of the History of Art featured Vishakha N. Desai, president and CEO of the Asia Society NY, at its second annual Charles Lang Freer Lecture in the Visual Arts on February 15, 2011.
Titled "The Future of Asia's Cultural Past," the lecture illustrated how, from the time of Charles Freer in the late-nineteenth century to most of the twentieth century, "Asian art" was synonymous with pre-modern or traditional arts of Asia. Dr. Desai explained that with the arrival of contemporary arts on the scene in the last two decades, accompanied by rapid economic growth of Asian countries, especially China and India, traditional arts are now at risk of being overshadowed by the contemporary art obsessions in popular culture as well as in scholarly communities.
2010 Fall Symposium: The Art Book Today: Print Projects in the Digital Age
Our 2010 symposium focused on the publishing, design, and distribution of art books and books on art in a time of rapid change in the publishing industry. The panelists, drawing on a wide range of professional experience, offered a diversity of perspectives as they reflected on both the challenges and the possibilities of publishing books in which the visual is paramount, in which images are integral and design conveys meaning. All proposed ways of moving forward in uncertain, if exciting, times.

Getting firsthand information from an actual car owner is one sure way to get an idea of car performance once it leaves the lot. Autobytel features real consumer reviews that give the unbiased experience of a car.
Pros: drive
Cons: cruise control, seats, service, quality.
Advice: CautionOn downgrades cruise control is jerky. Had it to dealer twice and they are unable to fix. Subaru customer service and dealer service leave a lot to be dsired.There is a film on the windows that keeps coming back after a few days.Great driving and very peppy for a small engine 32 MPG. on Hwy.25ish city. not the quality of Honda or Toyota.
Pros: power , handing
Cons: i like it all
Advice: go for it get the stitest drive it you will like it
Pros: all wheel drive
Cons: Seats a bit hard
Advice: Check closely on transmission problems with '05 before buying.Transmission out at 7,700 miles due to burst seal. Subaru, after 13 days, has still not decided how to fix it. This is why I rated the quality as 'poor.' I have a '95 legacy wagon still running fine at 275,000 miles. Never gave me a problem. Quality at Subaru must be slipping. I heard that this transmission problem has been happening but is being kept under wraps. The roadside assistance is great.
Pros: The transition from third to fourth to fifth gears
Cons: The slight turbo lag
Advice: Drive it. Drive it again. Make sure you test drive a loaded GT Limited with 5-speed stick.I was in the market for a 4-door sedan & I spent the better part of the year studying every car known to man. The Subie was the last car I looked at & drove. I'm a 100-mile-a-day commuter which means I don't lease & I flip my vehicles every two or three years. Also, the 'Fun Factor' was an important criteria for me. I purchased the GT Limited Sedan two weeks ago & 1,000 miles later I can report that I'm still looking for a proper Formula One cockpit seat harness to replace the stock seat belt. Yowzer!!!!!!!!! I ordered a set of ASA 17' chrome rims complete with Continental high performance summer tires & while this enhances the Subie's look immensely, the performance transmitted to the road from the rally car engine is a bonus. Yee-Hah!!!!!! Interior is perfect for those who despise gagdets & the need for a Nav System. I always no where I'm going anyway & with the Subie GT Limited you're always going forward........fast.
Pros: Power
Cons: The seat does not adjust enough, which causes back pain (Didn't have it in my Passat that I traded in)
Advice: See if you can get a longer test drive to ensure that the seats work for youTest drive was great, but 30 minutes did not preapre me for the the lack of seat comfort.
Pros: AWD
Cons: nothing
Advice: join the clubI went to the Subaru dealership with full intentions on buying a 2.5 RS. After test driving it I found it to be great in all aspects. I wanted to see what a WRX was like so I test drove a silver one. I bought it right then. The reliability, power, handling, and versatility are unmatched by any make or model world-wide. I did pay more than i wanted to for any car, but the WRX is not just any car. I now own a 2005 WRX that i drive effortlessly through snow, rain and everything else while laughing at the gas slurping SUV flounder about while using four wheel drive. From environment friendly to your pocket book, every angle is covered. I would recommend the WRX to my mother and my friends.
Pros: Performance
Cons: Automatic HVAC system
Advice: You must test drive this fantastic machine!This is one amazing machine! The combination of a torquey boxer engine and turbo give it amazingly civilized low-end performance for normal driving... but when that turbo kicks in -- watch out! Tubo lag is almost non-existent. This is the smoothest, most forgiving manual transmission I have ever used! Fit and finish is outstanding and the doors give a hugely satisfying 'thump' when you close them. I had a '99 BMW 323 and I like this Subaru more! The performance/features/quality/price ratio simply can't be beat. Get one now!!

Ok, I have been hearing a lot of negative stuff about fish that comes from Asian countries. I've tried looking up information on the internet about health and safety concerns, and legally (like from the USDA), there is nothing that says anything bad. If you look at what is out there, it'll make you never want to eat another piece of fish, ever. I really want to make the cod dish listed on the main Spark page, but if it is that full of pollutants, I don't know. I am in turmoil about whether or not to eat fish I haven't caught myself any more. I love tuna, and I can eat a whole can with a salad and it pulls my protein up and keeps my calories down. I thought fish was good for you, but now? Not so sure. I know catfish are bottom dwellers anyway, and eat all the trash and all of that other stuff in the water, but this is way beyond that. This is farmed fish that we buy at our grocery stores every day!!!
I am officially a Georgian. Got my new driver's license yesterday. I wish I could have kept my Florida one because you can really tell the weight loss in my face between that one and my new one. Off to get my tag tomorrow. I hate leaving the dogs alone two days in a row, so putting a day in between. They really stress out when I am gone. And I didn't want two days of stress in a row myself.
I tried to go get catfish (again, the fish..eek) and a baked potato and salad bar at my favorite local restaurant, but I guess they are only open for dinner on the weekends. Do you suppose God is trying to tell me something, or is it just a coincidence.
Paranoia signing out.

I have a pond that kinda' needs to be fished out because it is just a huge1/8 mile aquarium. BUT I love it the dogs love it and people have fished for fun summer and winter. My best advice to you is don't go too far. SomeOne will strike up a conversation with you and eventually like you enough (if your dogs approve) to let you do some private fishing on it that does not need a permit. God bless.

Farmed fish must be safe, surely? Can you get that?
Keep up the good work. You are doing brilliantly.

Country singer Kenny Rogers will be joined by the Southwest High School Chorale and six singers from Chappell Elementary School for his holiday show Wednesday at the Weidner Center.
- Filed Under
Everybody likes to get home for the holidays, but few get to bring Kenny Rogers along.
Green Bay native Kelly Junkermann rolls into town next week with The Gambler in tow - actually, vice versa, but who's keeping track? - for the venerable country entertainer's holiday show at the Weidner Center on Wednesday.
That just happens to be 12-12-12, the designated Aaron Rodgers Day in the state, or as Kenny & Co. like to think of it: "Rodgers and Rogers Day.''
It has been 10 years or more since Rogers' annual Christmas tour has made it back to Green Bay. Junkermann, who has been producing it for the 31 years the star has been performing it, is especially excited to have the buses pull into the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay, the campus where he attended his first year of college.
The tour is making the long two-day haul up from Baton Rouge, La., which means band and crew will arrive and leave on the same day. Just enough time for Junkermann to grab a Kroll's butter burger and some curds - his two must-haves whenever he gets back.
His primary focus, however, will be getting the show up and running through rehearsals with the Southwest High School Chorale and six Chappell Elementary School students who will perform with Rogers that night. Since Junkermann and Rogers created the holiday production, it has always included local children and choirs in each city.
"That is kind of the core of our show is that you see local kids and local choirs, so it's exciting coming back to your hometown and using local kids and choirs,'' said Junkermann, who originally started the tradition by asking his cousin in De Pere, a music teacher, if she might be able to line up choirs for each stop by calling fellow teachers. She did it that way for more than 20 years.
Now Junkermann often asks the venue and others in the city for a starting point to find the student performers. They are, he said, what keep quite possibly the longest-running holiday touring show feel fresh every night. They also keep Rogers and his special guest of recent years, country singer Billy Dean, on their toes.
"They're kids. You never know what can happen, because they rehearse it in the afternoon with me and then they go on with Kenny that night,'' Junkermann said. "There's staging. They have to move; they can't just sit in one spot.
"Probably 75 percent of the time maybe they get it right. But just the other night, Billy and Kenny close the show with the six little kids on the stage with them and the whole choir and everything, and Billy and Kenny are supposed to step through the middle of them. They tap them on the shoulder and the kids move over. Well, the other night, they weren't going to move. There was a tap, and then there was a tap, and they still didn't move. And finally Kenny kind of squeezed his way through and that boy still didn't move. That part of it is kind of fun every night.''
Not just every entertainer would play the odds of working with children ages 6-10 up every evening, but the 74-year-old Rogers is, after all, the man behind the iconic country song "The Gambler.'' So let's just say he knows a thing or two about when to hold 'em, when to fold 'em and when to run. He also happens to have 8-year-old twins of his own.
In the early years, kids performed one simple song. Their role has since become a major part of the production. In Green Bay, Chappell third-grader Jevontae Allen-Brown will open the Christmas portion of the show by singing a solo.
Rogers begins the night by singing some of his classic hits, including "Lady,'' "Islands in the Stream,'' "Lucille,'' "You Decorated My Life'' and, obviously, "The Gambler.'' The set and the music change for the holiday second half when the 50-student choir, child singers and Dean, who Junkermann describes as "just another big kid out there,'' all join him.
The show has become a holiday tradition for Junkermann, who usually starts putting it together in July. Rehearsals start about 10 days before Thanksgiving and the tour bus doesn't stop until Christmas Eve.
"I think we all look forward it,'' Junkermann said. "I haven't spent Thanksgiving at home in 25 years. We spend it out on the road. It's Christmas for us every night. I think one of the reasons I keep doing it is I really look froward to the kids and the cities. ... Anytime you get a chance to go back to the Midwest you really feel Christmas.''
Junkermann's dad lives in Green Bay and his mother in Rhinelander, along with a brother and cousins in the Green Bay-De Pere area. With the tour on such a whirlwind schedule, Rogers' head holiday elf hopes to get back to Northeastern Wisconsin after Christmas and enjoy time with family and hopefully some snow up north.
The only thing better than getting to return to his hometown this time of year would be returning for a Sunday night performance on a Sunday with a Green Bay Packers game at noon at Lambeau Field, Junkermann said. Perhaps something to put on his wish list for the nice man with the white beard - Mr. Rogers or Mr. Claus - next season.
Git-R-Done again
There's apparently no such thing as Git-R-Overdone.
Comedian Larry the Cable Guy is headed back to the Resch Center at 8 p.m. April 26 for what will be his third appearance at the Ashwaubenon arena. He's again bringing along his Blue Collar Comedy buddy Bill Engvall, who was with him for a tour stop there earlier this year.
Larry, Engvall and Jeff Foxworthy sold out the Resch in February with a crowd of 9,867, one of the biggest in the venue's history, for their Them Idiots Whirled Tour. Larry also headlined the building in 2008 and has performed at Oneida Casino in the past.
Tickets are $43.75 and go on sale at 11 a.m. Dec. 14 through Ticket Star outlets, (920) 494-3401 and www.ticketstaronline.com.
No Shoes tickets
Tickets for the closest stop on Kenny Chesney's No Shoes Nation Tour - May 18 at Miller Park in Milwaukee - go on sale at 9 a.m. Friday at www.brewers.com/chesney. They start at $45 for the terrace, range from $90 to $140 for field and club level and top out at $235 for the prime Sand Bar area by the stage.
Miller Park is one of just three MLB ballparks on the summer itinerary with Eric Church, Eli Young Band and Kasey Musgraves (Zac Brown Band swaps out for Church on a few dates). Capacity for the concert will be about 41,000, which is smaller than the 45,466 Chesney played to at Lambeau in 2010.
Chesney has made it known since then that he has an interest in returning to Lambeau, but the Packers said last month that they're still working out the details of the next phase of construction at the stadium. Until then, all non-football events are on hold.
Care to guess the last big concert at Miller Park? Farm Aid in 2010, but Kid Rock, Bon Jovi, Bruce Springsteen, George Strait, 'N Sync and Randy Travis (wait a minute, Randy Travis?) have all played there in the last 11 years.
» Muddy Udders haven't been back at the Crunchy Frog since kicking off their summer tour, but they finally circle back at 10 p.m. Friday with Appleton's Orange Iguanas and Chicago's Murmur. The latter is fronted by Green Bay native Matthias Vogels. Cover is $5.
On Saturday, the Udders swing over to Rock n Roll Land for a 6 p.m. gig with no cover. Consider it an early Christmas gift from the local band, which rarely performs all-ages gigs.
» Phat Headz hosts Ramma Lamma, Southside Stranglers, Lion Slicer and Strange Moo at 9 p.m. Friday.

FIFA world cup is based on FIFA 10 but with WC makeover. The controls interface is slightly tweaked, though it feels more casual since it tells you when you can make through pass and stuffs instead of giving you the freedom to do it whenever you want (even if it fails).
The spectators are now 3D (actually uglier).
Overall they're very similar, just with different flavour.

Great find to with my k-mart cheapie itunes vouchers.
Wonder if they will make us pay/upgrade for iPhone 4G versions, like with iPad.
- Bargain Seeker on 23/06/2010 - 23:07 ¶
They won't. They do massive sales to rocket up their popularity and the whole supply demand thing means they bring in more $$. People buy as they know it's temporary. SO 1000s of people buy an app they may not use because it's cheap. This thread is a perfect example of this. I did it too.
However it's the same version that you bought for $1.19 that I bought for $9.99 a while ago and therefore we won't be slung with extra costs.
- QQQ - CatchOfTheDay on 23/06/2010 - 23:44 ¶
The iPad is an iPhone with higher resolution. I can't excuse it :D
In the end consumers vote with their wallets.
I voted with mine.
Didn't buy a single thing until cheap iTunes vouchers came out.
Even then, only bought Reeder. Nothing else is good value.
Snapped up a few of these EA titles, because they have always been $10 and seemingly popular, the chance of playing these on the native retina display resolution and paying only $1.19? Slim. But worth hoping for!

This recent bout of spring weather has gotten me in the mood for some fresh farmers market veggies! Too bad winter has returned with a vengeance and spring vegetables are a long way off.
It got me thinking though about what I love about summer cooking:
- Fresh, seasonal produce
- Beautiful, bright colors that jump off the plate
- Light meals with a lot of flavor
- Quick and easy preparation
As I looked around my kitchen for inspiration I found a gorgeous deep orange butternut squash, dark rich green mature spinach, black wrinkly oil-cured olives, vibrant red roasted peppers, bright cheerful oranges, and wheat speckled half eaten loaf of olive bread.
Why wait until summer? This winter panzanella salad takes advantage of the best the season has to offer; no compromises necessary!
- 1 small butternut squash, approximately 1 pound
- 1/2 loaf of hearty stale bread; olive bread works great
- 1/2 cup coarsely chopped oil cured olives
- 1 roasted red pepper, thinly sliced into 1-inch strips
- 8 ounces spinach leaves
- 3 anchovies
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 Tablespoons good extra virgin olive oil, divided
- 1 Tablespoon whole grain mustard
- 1 Tablespoon red wine vinegar
- 3 Tablespoons orange juice--approximately 1/2 an orange
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- Heat the oven to 400 degrees.
- Peel the butternut, remove the seeds, and dice into 1-inch pieces. Toss with 2 teaspoons olive oil and spread out on a sheet pan. Roast for 20-30 minutes, turning once or twice until browned on the outside and tender on the inside.
- Cut the bread into 1-2 inch cubes. Toss with 2 teaspoons olive oil and spread out on a sheet pan. Roast for 20 minutes, turning once until brown.
- Microwave the spinach for 15-20 seconds, just until it starts to wilt.
- Toss together the squash, bread, olives, red pepper, and spinach leaves.
- Combine anchovies, garlic and 3 Tablespoons olive oil in a small saucepan. Turn heat to medium low and break up anchovies. Once it's very fragrant and the anchovies have melted into the oil, remove from heat.
- In a small bowl whisk mustard, vinegar, orange juice, salt and pepper. Slowly whisk in the olive oil mixture until emulsified.
- Toss together the salad and the dressing. Let stand for 10-15 minutes, tossing occasionally. Serve.

|Impaired heart rate recovery index in patients with sarcoidosis.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 20595456 Owner: NLM Status: In-Process
|BACKGROUND: Sarcoidosis, an inflammatory granulomatous disease, is associated with various cardiac disorders, including threatening ventricular arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death. Heart rate recovery (HRR) after exercise is a function of vagal reactivation, and its impairment is an independent prognostic indicator for cardiovascular and all-cause mortality. The aim of our study was to evaluate HRR in patients with sarcoidosis.
METHODS: The study population included 56 patients with sarcoidosis (23 men, mean age = 47.3 ± 13.0 years, and mean disease duration = 38.4 ± 9.7 months) and 54 healthy control subjects (20 men, mean age = 46.5 ± 12.9 years). Basal ECG, echocardiography, and treadmill exercise testing were performed on all patients and control participants. The HRR index was defined as the reduction in the heart rate at peak exercise to the first-minute rate (HRR(1)), second-minute (HRR(2)), third-minute (HRR(3)), and fifth-minute (HRR(5)) after the cessation of exercise stress testing.
RESULTS: There are significant differences in HRR(1) and HRR(2) indices between patients with sarcoidosis and the control group (25 ± 6 vs 34 ± 11; P < .001 and 45 ± 10 vs 53 ± 12; P < .001, respectively). Similarly, HRR(3) and HRR(5) indices of the recovery period were lower in patients with sarcoidosis when compared with indices in the control group (53 ± 12 vs 61 ± 13; P < .001 and 60 ± 13 vs 68 ± 13; P < .001, respectively). Exercise capacity was notably lower (9.2 ± 2.1 vs 11.6 ± 2.8 METs; P = .001, respectively) and systolic pulmonary arterial pressure at rest was significantly higher in patients with sarcoidosis compared with the control group (29.7 ± 5.5 mm Hg vs 25.6 ± 5.7 mm Hg, P = .001, respectively). Furthermore, HRR indices were found to be different among radiographic stage groups.
CONCLUSIONS: The HRR index was impaired in patients with sarcoidosis as compared with control subjects. When the prognostic significance of the HRR index is considered, these results may partially explain the increased occurrence of arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death in patients with sarcoidosis. Our findings suggest that the HRR index may be clinically helpful in identifying high-risk patients with sarcoidosis.

Ohh who here has come across the Revlon Heavenly Metal Collection? Likey so much dude! They have three shades of Revlon Molten Metal Eyeshadow Palettes. These palettes feature a duo of baked shadows, seriously, has Revlon ever done baked shadows before? Love! I have such a weakness for baked eyeshadows.
I picked up the Silver/Gold duo and I was kinda left wishing they had better shades available like some sort of bronze, brown combo? But sadly, no dice.
However, the Silver/Gold does the trick.
Let's check it!

Newton gets cheers at Fan Fest
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Cam Newton got a chance to show off for the fans a little at the Carolina Panthers Fan Fest on Saturday.
However, coach Ron Rivera said there was a bigger message for the Panthers during the annual fan appreciation day.
"The fans showed us they have expectations," Rivera said after Saturday's two-hour practice. "That gave us a little bit of energy to our players. The enthusiasm, the effort we got in return was good."
Newton, Carolina's second-year quarterback, was the star of the show, drawing the biggest cheers from the estimated 22,000 fans.
His biggest came on a short-yardage drill, with Newton dropping back to pass, then tucking the ball and running untouched into the end zone.
But the Panthers' defense also showed off a little, with three players — rookie linebacker Luke Kuechly, rookie safety D.J. Campbell and free-agent cornerback Nate Ness — getting interceptions.

A photographer who stumbled across two 100-year old pictures of rare classic cars thinks they may be the only ones of their type in existence. Keith Orange found the glass plate negatives of the Belgian Metallurgique cars in a pile of pictures left for him to look at by a visitor to his gallery, Vintage Graphics, in Barnard Castle.
The owner said they belonged to his father-in-law and were mostly taken in Sunderland. Mr Orange said: "A lot of the slides I was looking at were fairly run-of-the-mill, but these stood out and I took a closer look, because I am interested in vintage cars. "I could make out the word 'Metal' on the front of the cars."
Mr Orange contacted classic car magazines to see if they could identify the vehicles and he had them confirmed as Metallurgique cars. Metallurgique only produced cars between 1905 and 1928, and it is thought the two pictures were taken in 1906. One shows a 12-horsepower, two-seater model, while the other is of a 16-horsepower, four-seater version. He contacted the UK Metallurgique Owners' Club and sent them copies of the pictures. He said: "It seems like there are only a handful of these classic cars still around in Europe. "Contemporary pictures that were taken at the time – it seems like there are none." The photographs are now being used by a car expert in Australia, who is restoring a Metallurgique.
Mr Orange said the biggest mystery was identifying where the pictures were taken. He said: "It could be that someone was importing them from Belgium and they passed through the docks at Sunderland, but the mystery remains. "These were one of the luxury cars of the time and it is remarkable to find two pictures of them."
Anyone with information about the cars has been asked to call Mr Orange on 01833-695693.

Once again, DoshDosh has hit the nail on the head. A concept that seems to have completely escaped so many people in this industry is that no one likes to be scammed. It's a tough market in an even tougher economy. You don't have to shower people with gifts to win them over; one of the most powerful tools you can leverage is information.
Here's an excerpt of the DoshDosh blog post:
Because some people still don't get it. What's the underlying principle for successful online marketing, selling or networking? The art of giving before you try to get. Before you get something from someone, you need to first give them a reason for them to give it to you.

Odds are Missouri will open with a win
Missouri will become the last ranked team to open its season tonight.
The 15th-ranked Tigers are hosting Western Illinois at 8 ET.
They'll win not only because they're good (and way better than Western Illinois), but because they're a Big 12 school, and Big 12 schools don't lose home games to non-league opponents. For proof, consider that Big 12 teams have won 83 consecutive home games against non-league oppoents heading into today's slate of games. The streak will move to 87 consecutive games as long as Kansas State, Missouri, Baylor and Oklahoma aren't upset tonight.
Meantime, Arkansas also opens today.
The Hogs host Grambling State at Bud Walton Arena.
Arkansas and Missouri are the only two BCS-affiliated schools yet to play a game, as of this minute.

Missouri's top recruit not enrolled
While we wait on Kansas' Josh Selby and Kentucky's Enes Kanter, we know this: Missouri freshman Tony Mitchell will not play for the Tigers in the fall semester because he wasn't cleared by the NCAA Eligibility Center in time for the start of classes, coach Mike Anderson has announced.
"Tony's case with the NCAA Eligibility Center remains under review," Anderson said. "However, with our fall enrollment deadline having passed, he will be unable to join our program at this time."
In other words, Mitchell -- a consensus top 20 recruit from the Class of 2010 -- hasn't quite been ruled ineligible; he's just not eligible yet thanks to multiple red flags about his academic background. Anderson said he's "hopeful" Mitchell will be cleared in time to join Missouri for the spring semester. If not, it's a development that could affect the Tigers' hope of reaching the Final Four in Houston.
Meantime, the status of Selby and Kanter -- two other consensus top 20 recruits -- remains uncertain.
Both are facing amateurism questions from the NCAA.

Clip of little Tiger dunking on a bigger Tiger
Phil Pressey and Tony Mitchell will be teammates at Missouri next season.
But that's next season.
This weekend they were on opposing teams in a high school all-star game in Texas, which was unfortunate for Mitchell because Pressey dunked on him pretty hard, then talked about it afterward. Click this link to check it out. And remember that Pressey is 5-8, and that Mitchell is 6-7.

Anderson passes on Oregon, will stay at Missouri
Mike Anderson will remain with Missouri rather than accept an offer from Oregon.
"It's certainly flattering anytime another university notices what your program is accomplishing, and when I was approached by Oregon I decided to listen, but it was simply with my family in mind," Anderson said Saturday night. "All that quick conversation did was reaffirm that Missouri is home to us."
It's believed Oregon offered Anderson more than $2 million per season to move to the Pac-10. But he passed on the opportunity after a three-day courtship -- just like Gonzaga's Mark Few, Florida's Billy Donovan, Pittsburgh's Jamie Dixon, Michigan State's Tom Izzo and others have already done.
Oregon is searching for Ernie Kent's replacement.
Kent was fired last month.
This development should make the Tigers a preseason Top 25 team. In addition to their coach, they return their top three scorers and will enroll a recruiting class MaxPreps.com ranks 10th nationally. The six-player class is headlined by junior college All-American Ricardo Ratliffe and high school standouts Tony Mitchell and Phil Pressey.

Report: Oregon meets with Missouri's Anderson
Missouri's Mike Anderson met with an Oregon official Thursday night in El Paso, Texas to discuss the Ducks' coaching vacancy, The Oregonian newspaper is reporting.
A source told CBSSports.com that "someone speaking on behalf of Oregon" first approached Anderson in an informal way during Final Four weekend, but that nothing developed and he never heard back from anybody until earlier this week. Now Anderson has met with former Oregon athletic director Pat Kilkenny -- the man heading the search because Oregon doesn't currently have an AD -- in person. But it's unclear whether Anderson would accept an offer considering he rejected offers of more than $2 million per year last year from both Memphis and Georgia.
Anderson reportedly makes $1.55 million per year.
He has a team that should be ranked in the preseason Top 25 thanks to the return of Kim English and a recruiting class MaxPreps.com ranks 10th nationally. Anderson has been at Missouri four seasons. He's made the NCAA tournament each of the past two seasons.

Anderson/Watkins stocking Missouri's program
MaxPreps.com updated its team recruiting rankings for the Class of 2010 after Wednesday's developments.
The Top 10 mostly consists of traditional powers.
Anderson has had the reputation of somebody who can make a team better than its parts dating to his days at UAB, but now he's starting to get better parts thanks, in part, to associate head coach Melvin Watkins. A look at Missouri's class shows that three of the signees -- Tony Mitchell, Phil Pressey and Matt Pressey -- are from Texas, otherwise known as familar territory for Watkins, the former head coach at Texas A&M. He was also the point man in the recruitment of Ricardo Ratliffe, the nation's top junior college prospect who committed to Missouri last weekend. So Watkins has been doing good work, and it's one of the reasons Missouri seems set to be good for a while.

All together now: KU is No. 1
Look at the bright side, Syracuse fans: At least we won't have to argue this week.
I mean, we can all agree now, right?
It was ...
But it's a massive win for Louisville.
Not only did it allow one of the nation's great programs to close its legendary arena in about the most memorable way possible -- with 22 points from Kyle Kuric, no less -- it cemented the Cards' place in the NCAA tournament. Louisville is now 20-11 overall and 11-7 in the Big East with two wins over Syracuse, two wins over Connecticut, a win over Notre Dame and just one loss outside of the top 80 of the CBSSports.com RPI. That's not great, I know. But it's plenty enough to remove the Cards from this weak bubble and ensure Rick Pitino will coach in the NCAA tournament for the 13th time in his past 15 seasons as a college head coach.

Pressey commits to Missouri
Phil Pressey committed to Missouri on Sunday.
So that means one of my favorite players from the Class of 2010 will play for Mike Anderson.
Sure, there are better prospects in the class, better point guards even. But over the past two summers I don't think I've enjoyed watching anybody as much as I've enjoyed watching Pressey, whom Scout.com ranks as the nation's 33rd-best prospect. He's a little-bitty point guard -- a pest on the defensive end, a brilliant passer on the other. I've seen him take over games, bring two observers named LeBron James and Chris Paul out of their seats. And I was so blown away by Pressey two summers ago that I wrote a whole column about him.
You can click this link to check it out.
And Missouri fans, man, you're going to enjoy this dude.

Pfizer abandons AstraZeneca bidComment on this story
Drew Armstrong, Oliver Staley and Matthew Campbell New York and London
Pfizeryesterday abandoned its effort to buy AstraZeneca for £69.4 billion (about R1.2 trillion) in what would have been the biggest deal ever in the drug industry.
The offer represented "full value" for AstraZeneca, the New York-based drugmaker said in a statement. Under UK takeover rules, the company had until 5pm London time yesterday to make a firm offer.
Under UK government rules, the two drug makers face a cooling-off period of at least three months before talks can restart, giving both time to figure out their next move.
Pfizer was hoping that AstraZeneca investors would use that time to put pressure on the UK company's board to come back to the table, the person said, while AstraZeneca might seek a revenue-generating acquisition to help it fend off the larger company.
"The probability of a future AstraZeneca acquisition is dimmed, but not entirely extinguished," Mark Purcell, an analyst with Barclays, said in a note to clients.
Pfizer has declined to say if it would try again to buy AstraZeneca after the UK company's board rejected its last offer of £55 a share. For talks to begin anew after three months, AstraZeneca must invite the discussion. Otherwise, Pfizer needs to wait six months to make a new bid.
"We continue to believe that our final proposal was compelling and represented full value for AstraZeneca based on the information that was available to us," Pfizer chi_ef executive Ian Read said in the statement. "As we said from the start, the pursuit of this transaction was a potential enhancement to our existing strategy."
AstraZeneca rose 1.2 percent to close at £43.28 on Friday. Pfizer fell 0.6 percent to $29.49 (R303.21). Stock markets in the US and the UK were closed for holidays yesterday.
Both companies set themselves up with massive expectations during a public debate over the proposed deal. AstraZeneca has predicted sales of $45bn by 2023, a 75 percent increase from last year. The company has bet on a new class of cancer drugs that use the body's immune system to attack tumours, experimental drugs Pfizer has said it coveted.
Pascal Soriot, AstraZeneca's chief executive, "made a bet on the pipeline and he will be under pressure to deliver on the targets he gave to the market, which are very bullish and, in my opinion, not too realistic", Odile Rundquist, a Helvea analyst based in Geneva, said.
For its part, Pfizer must entice AstraZeneca back to the bargaining table or face the prospect of seeking lesser deals that offer slower growth. There are few large targets that would, like AstraZeneca, let Pfizer cut its tax rate by moving its legal address abroad, find cost savings and get a basket of promising new drugs.
The goal for Pfizer may be to let AstraZeneca's biggest shareholders do the persuading for them. Investors representing 16 percent of AstraZeneca shares indicated they favoured new negotiations with Pfizer, while 7 percent are against a deal, according to data compiled by Bloomberg and media reports as of Thursday.
BlackRock, AstraZeneca's biggest shareholder with 8 percent of the stock, was encouraging discussions between the companies, a person familiar with the matter said last week. – Bloomberg

The National Weather Service believes straight-line winds wiped out a metal barn Thursday.
Emily Pugh and her son, Ty, were inside their home in Goodrich, just 200 feet away from their now destroyed barn.
"Very thankful, because if it had hit the house, it would have taken us," said Pugh.
The National Weather Service meteorologists said the damage was caused by a severe thunderstorm. They think it was likely a microburst, since the radar at the time showed a classic bow echo.
No one was hurt.

Snowboarding has been replaced with crowd surfing.
After a fourth-place finish in the Olympic halfpipe, Shaun White is ready to take some time off and put more energy into his band, "Bad Things."
The connection between the two isn't obvious, but it's there. White told Fuse in August he got his first guitar at a snowboarding competition at 16. So since snowboarding isn't proving itself too kind, why not pursue a new dream.
This isn't some garage band banging drums in the lead singer's mom's basement. Bad Things packs some musical talent and credibility with bassist and former Augustana member Jared Palomar.
You know, the guys who sang "Boston."
Davis LeDuke (front man/lead singer), Anthony Sanudo (guitarist) and Lena Zawaideh (drummer) round out the group, which was a late add to headline Lollapalooza last August after Death Grip couldn't make it.
The same month they released the single "Anybody" and their self-titled first album dropped late last month, via Warner Brothers Records.
With a name like that behind him and a decent first single, Shaun White could make a solid jump from the snow drifts to the radio waves.

Eye injuries are the most common preventable cause of blindness. While many minor eye irritations can be treated at home by flushing the eye with water, more serious injuries need medical attention. So when in doubt, err on the side of caution and call your doctor for help.
If an object, such as a piece of glass or metal, is sticking out of the eye, take the following steps:
Call your local poison control center for specific instructions. Be prepared to give the exact name of the chemical, if you have it. However, do not delay flushing the eye first.
A black eye is often a minor injury. But this bruising also can be the result of a significant eye injury or head trauma. A visit to the doctor or an eye specialist might be needed to rule out serious injury, particularly if you're not sure what caused the black eye.
For a black eye:
If the injury happened during one of your child's routine activities, such as a sport, follow up by investing in an ounce of prevention — protective goggles or unbreakable glasses are vitally important.
