OWN Gives LaToya Jackson a Reality Show
OWN Gives LaToya Jackson a Reality Show
OWN is giving LaToya Jackson a reality show.
The network, which has struggled with a lineup that features mainly inspirational programming, is borrowing a page from other cable networks that have turned to following the day-to-day exploits of the famous and those famous for being related to the famous.
Also read: Jackson Family Meltdown: Who's Who in The Whole Mess
"Life With LaToya" is one of three new series OWN announced Thursday. The others are "The Customer Is Always Right," in which customers get to be the boss, and "Neighborvention," which is exactly what it sounds like.
The network also unveiled the rest of its fall lineup, including another season of "Oprah's Next Chapter." Her upcoming guests include Jennifer Hudson, Kelsey Grammer, Stephen Colbert and Bette Midler.
Despite having a less notable musical output than her famous siblings, LaToya Jackson has remained in the public eye for a series of exploits, from posing with a snake for Playboy to being the sole member of her family to say brother Michael was a child molester. (She made the allegation in 1993.)
She spent much of the '90s split off from her family, and said she was in an abusive relationship at the time. Her and the other Jacksons reconciled, and when Michael Jackson was charged with child molestation in 2003, she defended him and recanted her early allegations.
Despite her past issues with her family, she has managed to stay out of the current Jackson family feud.
"Life With LaToya" is not her first reality show: She has previously appeared on "Armed and Famous" and the British version of "Celebrity Big Brother."
Here's the fall lineup, and details on upcoming shows, provided by OWN:

FOLKSTON, Ga. -- A 5-year-old boy in Southern Georgia has a rare incurable genetic disorder. His mother said it will make him revert to infancy and then he'll die. The process has already begun.
The Luder family is ready for Christmas, but this holiday is a painful one. Their son, Dalton Luder, was recently diagnosed with Adrenoleukodystrophy, also known as ALD.
His mother, Tivey Luder, had never heard of it until three months ago, when her son's doctor gave her the diagnosis.
"I was like, 'Okay, what do we do now?' She said, 'Well my best advice to you now is take him home and love him, keep him happy and enjoy what time you have with him.' I just fell to the floor screaming," she recalls.
Shortly after that day her son's behavior began to change. He started sleeping more and was having problems with his vision.
She said her active independent kindergartner was fading away.
Now, the once vivacious young boy sleeps most of the day and a recent doctor visit shows he is now legally blind. His mom said she doesn't know what to expect from one day to another.
"Every day is different. Every day he loses a little more," she said, rubbing her son's back.
According to medical experts, ALD affects about one in every 20,000 people. The worst cases are in children. It causes a loss in vision, speech and mobility.
"He'll go back into infancy and then he'll forget me. He'll forget everything and he'll go into a vegetative state and then into a coma and then he'll slip away and I have to sit there and watch that," said the 5-year-old's grieving mother.
The family said through this difficult time, their Folkston community has been their bright light. They said strangers stop by daily to drop off money, food and toys. Folkston and surrounding communities have also held multiple fundraisers to allow them to stay home from work.
The Luders don't know how much more time they have with their son, but they said they have always been extra appreciative for their time together. They said that's partially because they didn't think they could have children. They call their son their miracle child.
If you'd like to help them, there is an account set up at First National Bank. The account in Dalton's name is 6655284.

Tumbarumba Nature
At the foothills of the Snowy Mountains, the area around Tumbarumba is a pristine wilderness where melting snow feeds crystal-clear streams and rivers - ideal for all styles of fishing.
Must Do
Nature holidays around Tumbarumba
Tumbarumba and Khancoban are located on the western side of Australia's alpine region. They offer a range of nature-based experiences.
Famous for its trout-filled streams, Tumbarumba sits at the foothills of the Snowy Mountains where melting snow feeds its crystal-clear streams and rivers, making it ideal for all styles of fishing.
Combine bushwalking with history on the Hume and Hovell Track that passes through Tumbarumba on the Henry Angel Trackhead that follows in the footsteps of the early explorers along a 12 km stretch, passing through a tunnel built during gold-mining days.
Good bushwalking tracks can also be found through the forests of Laurel Hill, Buddong Falls and Paddy's River Falls.
Enjoy a picnic by the beautiful Paddy's River Falls, go climbing on the cliffs and slopes, enjoy white-water rafting along the many snow-fed rivers and streams, or horse riding and cycling along scenic bush trails.
Selwyn Snowfields are just over an hour's drive from Tumbarumba; the resort's gentle slopes provide a perfect place to learn how to ski or snowboard.

These sweet, cakey Lemon Poppy Seed Cookies get a lemony hit from both zest and juice, are studded with poppy seeds and completed with a delicious glaze!
I don't even really like lemon desserts. Lemon bars are good, but I'll almost always pass over a lemon cake (except for this one…when paired with strawberry, I'm in) in favor of something with peanut butter, chocolate, or caramel. I'm more of a fan of lemon in savory applications. Chicken picatta, lemon juice in my salad dressing, and especially Lemon Ricotta Ravioli are some of my favorite lemony applications.
However, for some reason last night when I was in the pantry examining the shelves for inspiration, I looked down at that HUGE box of lemons (I'm really going to need to share a picture of that box…you don't understand how many lemons we have) and just really wanted a lemon poppy-seed muffin. I also really didn't want to make muffins.
So, lemon poppy seed cookies? Was that a thing? Yep, it was. I found a couple recipes to go off of and was on my merry way. The whole time I was crossing my fingers that they would turn out cakey instead of chewy like normal cookies, and based on the ingredients, they would. And they did! They were cakey, sweet, and lemony, but still missing that tart lemon element that I craved.
A quick lemon glaze of lemon juice, powdered sugar and almond extract remedied that. The tart lemon glaze totally puts these over the edge and rounds out the flavors. The little hit of almond extract makes them reminiscent of those HUGE Costco lemon poppy seed muffins. If you have some lemons and aren't feeling ambitious enough today to make a four layer lemon strawberry cake (hey, I'm usually not), whip these up. They're a wonderful snack to quench that summer lemon craving.

- At 100th Tour, no such thing as a dull day
New Zealander Jack Bauer and Australian Rohan Dennis make their Tour de France debuts as Team Garmin-Sharp announced their race roster Wednesday.
As expected, the team is paced by its three general classification riders: Canadian Ryder Hesjedal, the 2012 Giro d'Italia champion; Irishman Dan Martin, this year's Liege-Bastogne-Liege winner; and American Andrew Talansky, also in his first Tour de France.
Bauer and Dennis are expected to help protect the star trio from some of the crashes that plagued the Boulder-based team a year ago. Bauer, 28, is a time-trial specialist who won a stage in the 2012 Tour of Qatar and 2011 Tour of Utah. He finished 10th in the 2012 Olympic road race.
Rohan, 23, was named Best Young Rider in this year's Criterium du Dauphine and won Australia's 2012 under-23 road race and time trial. He also won the 2012 Tour of Utah's King of the Mountain.
The other members of the roster are American Christian Vande Velde, a two-time top-10 finisher; Boulder's Tom Danielson, who placed ninth in 2011; Briton David Millar, a former Tour stage winner; and Lithuanian Ramunas Navardausaks, who won a stage in last year's Giro.
"We have a deep team with a lot of options as we head into the Centennial Tour de France," team CEO Jonathan Vaughters said in a statement. "Our goal is to animate the race and with an aggressive strategy, we will aim to place high in the general classification.
"We have a few guys capable of achieving that. Ryder's won a Grand Tour and placed in the top 10 of the Tour de France. Andrew is young and while it's his first Tour de France, he is coming off a great season. And Dan Martin is having a breakout year with his wins in Catalunya and Liege-Bastogne-Liege."
The race begins Saturday in Corsica.
"We will protect our best GC options and see how the race shakes out," Vaughters said. "Our approach is a little unconventional, but we've managed to come up with surprises every year at the Tour and we're hoping for the same as we head into Corsica."

Restaurant Serenade: 6 Roosevelt Avenue, Chatham; 973-701-0303; www.restaurantserenade.com
James Laird was 19 when he graduated from Culinary Institute of America and went to Europe for further study. He gestures to the plantings at his home in New Vernon.
One of the chefs in Southern France had a garden something like this, and as crazy hours as we work, this is my Zoloft.
He looks around and laughs. But it actually started with my aunt, who passed away when I was 4. She had a horse and few ducks and chickens back when Martinsville was still a farm area.
In 1997, with a peerless resume, Laird and wife Nancy also a CIA graduate opened Restaurant Serenade in Chatham. It continues to garner stellar reviews from every notable newspaper and magazine.
For the first five years, the couple just worked the restaurant. Then they bought their home where Laird now farms about a ½-acre out of 4.
I knew nothing about organic farming when I started the garden 10 years ago so I went on the Internet and started with corn. I opened the packet and saw corn kernels. That was an eye-opener.
Of course when you think about it, on a cob of corn, each kernel gives one plant; in a tomato, each seed is a plant. Look at strawberries, how many seeds are on one berry hundreds.
Everything you see here now is from seed I sow it, I grow it, I harvest it, I cook it. People think its a lot of work but once you build the raised beds and build good soil which takes about two years its really only a days work.
He plants seeds and tills them over in the spring. Lairds ½-acre yields kale, beets, bok choy, broccoli, red-leaf and romaine lettuce, onions, sprouts, cabbage, spinach, arugula, a lot of pea shoots and peas, heirloom garlic, asparagus, then green beans and a lot of tomatoes and eggplant and hot peppers and sweet peppers and then a repeat of spring.
I also plant herbs all year long: a lot of parsley and a lot of basil; chervil, lovage, thyme, chives, mint, a couple of blackberry bushes, and a couple of beds of tulips and lilies (ornamental for the restaurant).
He stops to think. And a lot of lemongrass, so easy to grow and so easy to buy, he says. $30 of plants yields $1,000 worth of lemongrass.
The garden provides lettuces and mixed baby greens for about 10 weeks; a months worth of tomatoes; and enough spinach, kale and bok choy for a week a two.
To start his garlic, Laird went to the best grower in New York State and bought 50 heirloom heads. Each head has at least five cloves big enough to plant, and each clove sprouts another plant.
I plant in October, harvest in July. Each year I keep 50 for the next.
Beside the raised beds there are chicken coops, also protected by 8-foot high wire pens. Hes had the chickens for about eight years, bantams and standard mixed breeds, egg-layers and meat chickens which he doesnt sell. Theyre never still, always pecking and, surprisingly, always crowing.
Roosters are like watchdogs, Laird explains. Theyll crow whenever theres activity. I dont even notice when Im working, its white noise.
Like chickens, roosters are bred for characteristics size of tail feathers, crest, comb and some varieties are gorgeous, especially the black-and-white Polish chickens, their heads frothed in white plumes.
Egg yield from hens bred as egg-layers average almost one per day in warm months; the pretty ones, one a week.
Laird started with a just few clucks but added more as his garden and the need for organic compost expanded. Chicken manure fills that need.
He uses a case of parsley a week in the restaurant and perhaps three dozen eggs for pastry, crème brûlée and hand-made ice cream.
What about pests?
This is a sad story. The fence keeps out deer and we try to catch the squirrels in humane traps, but I put in 30 new plants and all 30 were eaten by groundhogs. Those animals have nothing else to do and they destroy everything. These pens are 8 high dug into a trench 2 deep but theyll find littlest crack. They also climb. Foxes are always after the chickens thats why our chickens arent free-range but even foxes wont bother with the groundhogs because theyre so nasty.

King Rice makes no bones about who he is as a coach.
The third-year Monmouth University head coach tends to be all over his players, especially when he believes the proper amount of effort is not being put forth or their attitudes need adjusting.
As the Hawks prepare to host Quinnipiac this afternoon at 3 p.m. in their second MAAC contest in three days, it's worth noting that Rice was all over his players earlier this week. ...

Cold sea turtles get warm welcome at Aquarium
The North Carolina Aquarium at Pine Knoll Shores gave a warm welcome to eight sea turtles recovering from the effects of icy New England waters. The turtles are all Kemp's ridleys, the smallest sea turtle species and considered endangered. They were among hundreds of sea turtles recently rescued off Cape Cod after water temperatures dipped dangerously low for the cold-blooded reptiles.
The New England Aquarium and its sea turtle hospital has been taking in rescued turtles by the dozen. As the numbers kept climbing, other aquariums were called upon to shelter animals stable enough for transport. The North Carolina Aquariums at Fort Fisher and on Roanoke Island also expected to receive some of the stricken turtles.
Because these marine reptiles can't tolerate winter weather, most head to warmer waters when the seasons change. Lingering turtles caught in a sudden chill suffer a potentially deadly condition called "cold-stunning," similar to hypothermia in humans. Their heart rates and other functions slow, leaving them lethargic and unable to swim. Prolonged exposure can cause paralysis, and the turtles float on the surface or wash up on beaches. Eventually they go into shock, and many die.
The turtles were examined by veterinarians in New England and in North Carolina. They are behind the scenes at the Aquarium. They will be released offshore as soon as they recover and transportation can be arranged, which could be days, weeks or months. Cold-stunning occurs in North Carolina waters also. A cold-stunned green sea turtle recently found near Cape Lookout is recovering at the Aquarium. The numbers vary widely according to weather patterns, but some cold-stunned turtles are brought to the Aquarium for care almost every winter. See a video on how the Aquarium helps these creatures.
Sea turtles are protected by federal law. The North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission monitors sea turtle rescues, rehabilitation, releases and nesting and hatching activity in the state. If you come across a stranded sea turtle, dead or alive, call the NCWRC at 252-241-7367 or 252-728-1528.

Endowed Professorships
The Faculty Chairs Selection Committee solicits and evaluates applications for named professorships.
The following information describes the endowed chairs; click on a title to read about it.
- A. Howard Meneely Professorship
A. (Alexander) Howard Meneely, a former Dartmouth College Professor of History, began his 17-year tenure as Wheaton's president when Dr. Park retired in 1944. Noting Wheaton's steady enrollment growth since World War II, President Meneely voiced his concern that unless college facilities and the number of faculty increased across the country, a crisis in education could result. At the same time, Dr. Meneely believed that Wheaton should remain a "small" college, continuing to provide students with individualized attention and a homelike atmosphere. His visionary investment in academic quality and intellectual rigor form the fabric of our identity as a small, intimate, and academically strong college.
The A. Howard Meneely Professorship was established in 1961 by Mr. and Mrs. Brackett H. Clark in honor of Dr. Meneely.
- William C. H. & Elsie D. Prentice Chair
Dr. William C. H. Prentice, a psychology professor and administrator from Swarthmore College, held the Wheaton presidency from 1962 to 1975. In completing the building program necessary to accommodate growing enrollment, President Prentice oversaw the creation of Wheaton's Watson Fine Arts building, the Meadows residence hall, and Clark Recreation Center. Additionally, in 1966, the college constructed the Elisabeth Amen Nursery School to replace the school built in 1931, which was one of the first laboratory nursery schools in the country. Much of our infrastructure was thus built during his tenure as President.
The William C. H. & Elsie D. Prentice Chair was established in 1975 in honor of William C. H. Prentice, President from 1961 to 1975, with gifts from trustees, alumni, faculty, staff and friends.
- Mary Heuser Chair in the Arts
Mary Heuser taught in the Art department at Wheaton from 1952 to 1981 (and also briefly during the 1981-1982 academic year and spring of 1984). She earned her doctorate in Art History from Radcliffe College, and came to Wheaton from Bryn Mawr in 1952. In 1958, she was awarded a Fulbright Fellowship for study in Rome where she worked on her long-term interest in the mosaics at St. Maria Maggiore. She was Chair of the department from 1965 to 1969 and from 1976 until her retirement in 1981. In 1976, in a nomination for Mary Heuser to be the first holder of the William Prentice Chair at Wheaton, Thomas J. McCormick , then Chairman of the Art department, described her as "by far the best teacher I have encountered in over twenty years of teaching—she truly exemplifies the ideal of the teacher/scholar." Her legacy of scholar-teachers and teacher- scholars continues to inspire our faculty today.
The Mary Heuser Chair in the Arts was established in 1996, in honor of Mary Heuser, Professor of Art, Emerita, by trustees, alumni and friends.
- Bojan Hamlin Jennings Chair in the Natural Sciences
Bojan Jennings began her career at Wheaton in 1943 after receiving her bachelor's degree at Bryn Mawr College and a master's degree at Radcliffe College. She earned a Ph.D. at Harvard in 1955. During World War II, Jennings recalled, opportunities for women in the sciences–and in higher education–were more plentiful as so many men, including her husband, enlisted in the military.
Her tenure in Wheaton's Chemistry Department was one of innovation and opportunity in student research. She was instrumental in establishing a rigorous Chemistry major, and saw it approved by ACS in 1955. In the 1980s, she designed the major in Biochemistry, with a full year of physical chemistry included. She developed the "Senior Seminar in Chemistry" to teach critical reading of primary literature, and published research papers with several students. Jennings oversaw more than 150 Chemistry majors, at least 30 of whom went on to doctoral work in the sciences, including current Professor of Chemistry, Elita Pastra-Landis '69.
Though Jennings retired in 1985, she continues to host a group of Chemistry majors in her home to discuss their research and interests in the field. She is reluctant to claim a legacy at Wheaton without acknowledging those who went before.
"I inherited a great legacy from the strong, wise, and helpful women from whom I learned the rudiments of teaching young women and with whom I worked in Wheaton's Chemistry Department for many years: Mildred Evans and Maud Marshal," Jennings said. "They were the pioneers who earned their advanced degrees in chemistry and went on to their productive careers at a time when such things were almost unheard of. Wheaton was one of the few academic institutions where they were welcomed, and they influenced many Wheaton students in their day. "It was the sustaining friendships that grew between many of my students and me that fed my enthusiasm to encourage more of them. They, in turn, are doing the exact same thing with their students."
The Bojan Hamlin Jennings Chair in the Natural Sciences was established in 1985 with gifts from the Mars Foundation and Mr. and Mrs. Arnold Smith (Frances Vinton Smith '51), in honor of Bojan Hamlin Jennings, Professor of Chemistry from 1943 to 1985.
- Dorothy Reed Williams '43 Chair in the Social Sciences
Dorothy Reed Williams graduated from Wheaton as a member of the Class of 1943 with a bachelor's degree in American Civilization. For many years she served Wheaton in a volunteer capacity as a member of the President's Commission (1988-1996), the National Major Gifts Committee during the Sesquicentennial Campaign (1981-1986), the Sesquicentennial National Advising Committee (1981-1986), and various regional club activities.
The Dorothy Reed Williams '43 Chair in the Social Sciences was established in 1993 by Mr. and Mrs. L. Stanton Williams (Dorothy Reed Williams '43).
- Jane Oxford Keiter '64 Professorship
Jane Oxford Keiter graduated from Wheaton as a member of the Class of 1964 with a bachelor's degree in Philosophy and Religion. Her Wheaton activities include a term on President's Commission (1991-1994), Class Fund Committee member (1986) and a Library Visiting Committee member (1995). Jane and Bob Keiter have three children,one child, Erika Keiter, is a Wheaton alumna from the Class of 1995.
The Jane Oxford Keiter '64 Professorship was established in 1994 by Jane Oxford Keiter '64 and her husband Robert E. Keiter, member of the Wheaton College Board of Trustees, as an investment in education during the Campaign for Wheaton.
- Jane Ruby Professorship
Jane E. Ruby was Professor of History from 1954 to 1978, and also served as Provost from 1976-1978.
She began her study of History at Reed College in Oregon, where she received her bachelor's degree. She earned her masters and doctoral degrees at Radcliffe College. Her research examined issues of complexity and historical significance, notably, 14th century political thought and concepts of nature. Jane Ruby combined her love of music with research and teaching; she was an inveterate symphony goer, opera lover, and an accomplished pianist who played with intense feeling and consummate skill.
The Jane Ruby Professorship was established in 1997 by John F. Mars and Adrienne Bevis Mars '58, member of the Wheaton College Board of Trustees, in memory of Jane E. Ruby, Professor of History from 1954 to 1978, to recognize outstanding teaching and research in the humanities or social sciences.
- Hannah Goldberg Chair in Teaching Innovation
Hannah Goldberg was Professor of History from 1983-1998, Provost and Academic Vice President from 1983-1998 and Acting President of Wheaton College in 1991 and 1992.
In awarding her an Honorary Doctorate of Humane Letters on May 16, 1998, the
following was recorded:
Colleges, like people, are said to have lives. They grow and change and if they are lucky, they thrive. Using this analogy, the people who live and work at a college could be thought of as gardeners. You, of course, would be a master gardener; and this campus, a victory garden. During the 15 years you have served as Wheaton's Provost, your ideas, your actions, your humor, your friendship, your essence have become part of the College's life and will shape its future forever.
You have said that when you came to Wheaton you expected it to be "just a job," but deep inside you must have known better. Your trademark commitment to excellence, your drive and your passion demand complete involvement. In so many ways, Wheaton has benefited from these traits. Experiential learning is a buzzword in higher education today, but your vision made it a reality at Wheaton long before the trend. You recognized the need to more clearly define a Wheaton education. Consequently, you worked with the faculty for two years to focus the College's general education requirements and to create a seminal experience in First Year Seminars.
Perhaps it was growing up in a cooperative community which gave you your talent for mediation, but whatever its origin, your ability to bring your keen empathy and intellect to any charged situation has been an asset to every community in which you have lived. You have helped us find common ground in challenging times. You innovated the "stakeholder's meetings," giving all who have a stake in a particular issue an opportunity to come together and brainstorm solutions. We applaud your decision to formalize this talent by becoming a licensed mediator and we know that those who come to you for assistance will be blessed by wise, caring and straight-talking guidance.
Colleagues describe you as "a legend" in higher education. Looking back, we can see the sign-post along the way – the influences, the choices which brought you where you are. Your parents so valued education that they made sacrifices to ensure that you and your sister went to college. They instilled in you this appreciation for education, an appreciation which became a life-long devotion. It is tempting to review one's life and say "ah-ha, of course—it all points in this direction." But we know that becoming a legend is not easy even though you have made it look as if it was. Hannah Goldberg, over the years you have given many illustrious figures the honor we bestow on you today, but we want you to know it is now our honor to present you with this Wheaton honorary degree. You are forever part of us, part of Wheaton's life, and for that we are eternally grateful.
Established in 1998 during the Campaign for Wheaton by college trustees, friends and colleagues in honor of Hannah Goldberg, Provost and Academic Vice President of Wheaton from 1984 to 1998.
- Henrietta Jennings Faculty Chair for Outstanding Teaching
Henrietta Jennings was Professor of Economics at Wheaton from 1931 to 1965. Professor Jennings inspired and challenged her students, the college, and the Wheaton community. Former students and colleagues identify two outstanding characteristics of her personality: "She was extremely tough and demanding," they may say, or, "she was very kind, a wonderful friend." To all those in the Wheaton community whose lives she touched, those two statements are entirely compatible.
Professor Jennings was often decades ahead of her contemporaries. At a time when few women studied business, let alone Economics, she introduced advanced theory to her students. Professor Jennings demanded much of herself and of her associates, and she was outspoken on many issues from student advancement to local town government to international affairs.
Established in 1997 by Sandra Ohrn Moose '63, Janet Lindholm Lebovitz '72, Pauline Simington Newcomer '36 and other alumnae/i and friends in honor of Professor of Economics Henrietta Jennings.
- William Isaac Cole Chair in Sociology/Anthropology
William Isaac Cole was the brother of President Samuel Valentine Cole, whose presidency spanned the years from 1912 to 1925. William Isaac Cole was Treasurer of the College, as well as Professor of Applied Sociology. "Billy Ike," as he was known on campus, was an ordained minister who, before coming to Wheaton to support his brother, had worked for two decades in settlement work and social work in Boston. The William Isaac Cole Professorship was established in 1966 to support tenured members of the faculty in Sociology or Anthropology, and recognizes outstanding work in scholarship, teaching, and service. In 2010, recently reorganized and now in parallel with the other endowed professorships, the Cole Professorship returned to its original purpose and was awarded internally to a member of one of the two departments.

Anne of Avonlea
Returning to Anne was lovely. I won't post a full review, because most of you are familiar with Anne, and if you aren't, the quotes below will give you a taste. I will say that if you are a fan of Jan Karon's Mitford, or Laura Ingalls Wilder's Little House on the Prairie, and you've never read Anne of Green Gables, I say "Get thee to a library!"
As I read, I kept dwelling on what was so delightful -- about the character of Anne and about L.M. Montgomery, who created her thoughts and the other characters and the observations that they make.
I read this on my Kindle (for free--wooohoo!), so I don't have page numbers for my quotes, but I believe that it's in the public domain anyway:
"Anne, walking home from school through the Birch Path one November afternoon, felt convinced afresh that life was a very wonderful thing."
"'What a nice month this November has been!' said Anne, who had never quite got over her childish habit of talking to herself."
That's what I mean -- Anne, her whole world, and the thoughts she expresses are just warm, comforting inspiring.
I marked other quotes on marriage, childhood, and childrearing, and I think that I'm just going to have to devote another post to that tomorrow.
I also posted my thoughts on sequels at 5 Minutes for Books today. Check out my On Reading column about The Comfort of Series.
As for 11-year-old Amanda, who tried to join me again, she did like Anne of Green Gables (linked to her review), but she found Anne of Avonlea to be "boring." She liked the start of it, and we both laughed over Mr. Harrison (as we read it separately). I loved how she said that there was no kindred spirit in him, because I knew that she would probably regret that rash judgment.
Amanda read about 100 pages, and then abandoned it for good. However, I really thought that she would enjoy meeting Miss Lavender, so I told her that she could skip the middle, and I'd tell her where to pick back up. As I leafed through the book (we checked out a "real book" from the library for her to read), and decided that she would enjoy Diana and Anne's preparations to meet Miss Morgan, and then the later encounter as well, which occur before Miss Lavender comes on the scene. So I moved her bookmark about 50 pages forward. She says that she's going to read it, but it still leaves about 150 pages, so we'll see if she does.
I think that she can definitely revisit Anne in a few years, when the narrative style and nostalgia will hopefully be more appealing to her. I've no doubt that she'll still like finding out "what vain little Anne will do next" (a quote from her review of Anne of Green Gables).

Well I'm satisfied that Amanda gave it a shot at any rate! I think I read the series as a whole when I was 13 or 14....just a couple years older than Amanda so I bet you are right. As Anne grows, she loses the interest of the younger crowd.
I'm so glad you linked back! I ditched Mr. Linky this time in part because I lost everyone's links from last year and so I'm glad to have your old post for reference. =)
Thanks for playing! =)
- Heather said...
My niece turns 10 in two weeks, and I think I may be more excited about it than her for one reason. It's time to share Anne with her.
- Katrina @ Callapidder Days said...
Okay, so you know me and my reading likes/dislikes. I didn't like Mitford much (too slow/meandering) but I did like the Little House books. Do you think I'd like the Anne books?
- planetnomad said...
I grew up on the Anne books. I started when I was about 9 and read them many times until about 13 or so, when I outgrew them. I should reread them. I love them and they're classics, and I've been a bit disappointed that my daughter hasn't loved them as I did. She finds Anne too talkative and silly. Well, I suppose!
But, like myself at her age, she loves the Emily series! Amanda might like those! The first (and best) is "Emily of New Moon."
Ilsa also likes "Magic for Marigold."
Amanda might like the later Anne books too, like "Rainbow Valley" or "Anne of Ingleside."
Since I grew up in Canada, I had access to all sorts of LMM Montgomery books that you just don't see in the US, like the Pat series...I don't even remember the names now. LMM was super prolific; if you don't like Anne there are many many other options.

Staff Reports
LEESBURG — Lee County High School's Palladium Players will spotlight the wild and wooly Roaring 20s with their production of the Broadway hit "Thoroughly Modern Millie" March 15-24.
A winner of six Tony Awards, "Thoroughly Modern Millie" tells the story of Millie Dillmount, a young, vivacious Midwestern girl who comes to the bustling metropolis of New York City to marry for money instead of love — a thoroughly modern thing for a woman to do in 1922.
Add to the story two millionaires pretending to be your average Jack and Jill, two Chinese laundry men who understand more English than they let on, the notorious ringleader of a sinister kidnapping syndicate, plus a famous jazz singer and hilarity ensues.
The show is based on the 1967 film, starring Julie Andrews and Mary Tyler Moore. The Broadway incarnation, which is styled in the same whimsical way as the movie, opened in 2002 and propelled Georgia native Sutton Foster, who currently stars in TV's "Bun Heads" to stardom.
Dotty Davis, who directs Lee County's production says, "This show is delightfully wacky. Although it's a fairly new show, it looks like, sounds like, and feels like one of those traditional musicals from Broadway's glory days of the '50s and '60s. There's nothing heavy about Millie.It's just plain fun."
Lee County's production features a cast of more than 30 high school actors, along with two adult performers, Kathy Walker and Flo Reneau. LCHS senior Demi Davis, in her first musical lead role, plays Millie, and senior Tiffani Miller plays her sidekick, Miss Dorothy Brown.
Davis Cowart and Zac Crew, both juniors, portray the leading men, Jimmy Smith and Trevor Graydon. LCHS alumna Megan Lisenby plays the comic role of Miss Flannery. Student actors Joseph Solano and Deshod Holley play brothers Bun Foo and Ching Ho. Joining Dotty Davis in staging "Thoroughly Modern Millie" is musical director Kevin Blaise and set designer and technical director Robby Davis.
Evening performances of "Thoroughly Modern Millie" begin at 8 p.m. on March 15, 16, 21, 22, and 23. There will be two Sunday matinees, beginning at 2:30 p.m. on March 17 and 24. Tickets are $10 for adults and $7 for students and children. Advance tickets are available at Lee County High School each weekday from 8 a.m. until 3 p.m. The box office will open one hour before each performance.

To some, the Summer 2010 will go down as the summer of many "1st". From Spain first World Cup title, determined yesterday in South Africa, to Crooks & Castle's first footwear collection. Previewed around the trade show circuit a few months before, the collection is the California-base label's first foray into the footwear market, earlier collaborations not withstanding. The product run is a simple, single color-tone fare of canvas, leather or suede highs and low-tops. All straight forward design with a slight twist, like the outsole imprint of "31815151119" around the heel, the serial number of the Redfoot edition.
The Crooks & Castle Footwear for Summer 2010 is available now at its flagship store on Sunset Blvd. and selected retailers like Paul Rodriguez's Primitive.

The Pittsburgh Post Gazette reports that Steelers first-round rookie Maurkice Pouncey is getting snaps (or, more accurately, giving snaps) as the first team center in Pittsburgh. Incumbent center Justin Hartwig is still splitting snaps with the starters, as well.
Pouncey was drafted to assume the long-term job at center, but the original plan was for him to play guard early on. The Steelers prefer to groom their rookies as backups in Year One (they took this route with Troy Polamalu, LaMarr Woodley, Lawrence Timmons, Willie Colon, Rashard Mendenhall, etc.) The last rookie to start regularly for the team was tight end Heath Miller in 2005.
However, since Day One, Pouncey has been miles ahead of expectations. Mike Tomlin even complimented the youngster's awareness and savvy during the minicamps. Physically speaking, Pouncey is Pittsburgh's most gifted center (Hartwig's lack of initial quickness consistently makes him vulnerable when opponents attack the gaps over his outside shoulder). With his mental aptitude, it looks like he may already be Pittsburgh's best center.

By Jon Campbell, Albany Bureau
ALBANY -- Four months after first airing television commercials featuring the voice of Robert De Niro, the state's economic development arm revealed on Thursday what the Manhattan-born actor was paid: Nothing.
De Niro's pro bono narration was featured in a series of six advertisements promoting the state's business climate that aired in New York and nationwide. Each ad ended with the Academy Award winner reciting the slogan of the marketing campaign -- "The New New York Works For Business."
It still wasn't clear Thursday what, if anything, Spike Lee was paid to direct one of the advertisements, which aired for eight weeks through mid-August. Lee, whose production company is based in Brooklyn, directed a 60-second commercial for the state's campaign. Empire State Development officials couldn't say Thursday whether he was paid.
Empire State Development, the economic-development arm of the state, five times delayed a response to a Freedom of Information request first made by Gannett's Albany Bureau on July 9. Some of the information was provided Wednesday.
The request sought any payment records from the corporation to De Niro, Lee, rapper Jay Z and singer Alicia Keys. The song "Empire State of Mind," performed by Keys and Jay-Z, was the soundtrack to one of the advertisements. The response included licensing payments for the song's use totaling $142,500, but no payment records for De Niro or Lee.
The corporation on Thursday acknowledged that De Niro's work was uncompensated. A call to 40 Acres and a Mule, Lee's company, was not returned Thursday.
De Niro recorded the tracks for the commercials on June 15 in a Manhattan studio, about a week before they began airing. Gov. Andrew Cuomo was in attendance, according to his public schedule.
The six advertisements were produced as part of a $50 million marketing contract that went to New York City-based advertising giant BBDO. They featured success stories of New York-based businesses and manufacturing plants that were aided by state benefits, including BAE Systems in Johnson City, Broome County.
In all, $12 million went toward purchasing airtime for the television spots.
Mike Durant, state director of the National Federation of Independent Business, said the messaging in the advertising campaign was effective. But he warned that the state has to take further action in order to truly improve its long-maligned business climate.
"At the end of the day, the ad campaign was well done and it's nice, but we still have the highest costs of doing business, high taxes and a Thruway toll hike that's coming," he said. "All the things that make it hard to do business in New York are still there."

Welcome to the Object Storage Center page – www.objectstoragecenter.comMarch 20, 2013 – 11:39 pm
Updated 11/19/15
Welcome to the Cloud, Big Data and Object Storage Center page
Why Cloud and Object Storage?
In addition, people and data are living longer, as well as getting larger (hence little data, big data and very big data). Cloud products and services along with associated object storage, file systems, repositories and access methods are at the center of big data, big bandwidth and little data initiatives on a public, private, hybrid and community basis. After all, not everything is the same in cloud, virtual and traditional data centers or information factories from active data to in-active deep digital archiving.
Cloud Object Storage Fundamentals Access and Architectures
There are many facets to object storage including technology implementation, products, services, access and architectures for various applications and use scenarios.
A common theme for object storage is flexibility, along with scaling (performance, availability, capacity, economics) along with extensibility without compromise or complexity. From those basics, there are many themes and variations from how data is protected (RAID or no RAID, hardware or software), deployed as a service or as tin wrapped software (an appliance), optimized for archiving or video serving or other applications.
Many facets of cloud and object storage access
One aspect of object and cloud storage is accessing or using object methods including application programming interfaces (API's) vs. traditional block (LUN) or NAS (file) based approaches.
Keep in mind that many object storage systems, software, and services support NAS file-based access including NFS, CIFS, HDFS among others for compatibility and ease of use.
Likewise various API's can be found across different object solutions, software or services including Amazon Web Services (AWS) Simple Storage Service (S3) HTTP REST based, among others.
Other API's will vary by specific vendor or product however can include IOS (e.g. Apple iPhone and iPad), WebDav, FTP, JSON, XML, XAM, CDMI, SOAP, and DICOM among others.
Another aspect of object and cloud storage are expanded and dynamic metadata.
While traditional file systems and NAS have simple or fixed metadata, object and cloud storage systems, services and solutions along with some scale-out file systems have ability to support user defined metadata.
Specific systems, solutions, software, and services will vary on the amount of metadata that could range on the low-end from 100s of KBytes to tens or more Mbytes.
Where to learn more about cloud and object storage
The following is a growing list of links and resources exploring existing, new and emerging object storage and related themes.
Moving and Replicating Buckets/Containers, Subfolders and Objects
Example of Regions and Availability Zones (AZs)
Yellow-Bricks site. Note that VMware VSAN uses one of many different forms of object storage (e.g. its not S3 or Swift or CDMI) rather a means for storing VMware vSphere entities and items (e.g. various types of objects)

- Burnsville school district won't explain $254,814 severance
A Burnsville weekly newspaper's report about the secret details of the school district's separation agreement with its former human resources director Friday has sparked a terse response from the district.
Thisweek Burnsville-Eagan reported it received an unredacted copy of Tania Z. Chance's agreement that referred to "charges pending with the Minnesota Department of Human Rights and/or Equal Opportunity Commission" and "complaint(s) made on or about Dec. 8, 2011, to the Minnesota Board of School Administrators regarding Randall Clegg."
Chance received $254,814 to leave the district seven months into a new two-year contract. Her separation agreement included letters of recommendation from Clegg, who is superintendent, and school board chairman Ron Hill.
School officials have refused to say why Chance left the district with one of the largest payouts in recent memory. They claimed information blacked out in the separation agreement the district made public was redacted because it contained private personnel data.
Complaints to state Department of Human Rights and board of school administrators remain private until they are resolved. Cases that are not resolved or are dropped are not disclosed.
In a statement, Burnsville school officials put the weekly newspaper "on notice" that it might have published data deemed private under the Minnesota Government Data Practices Act.
The district has asked the Information Policy Analysis Division of the Minnesota Department of Administration to determine whether the redacted information should be made public.
Mark Anfinson, an attorney for the Minnesota Newspaper Association, said Thisweek staff's decision to publish the information - even if private - is protected under the Constitution.
"As long as the journalist was not a direct participant in the improper or illegal activity, the First Amendment absolutely protects their right to disseminate information," Anfinson said.
The district said it would not confirm or deny the newspaper's story "because to do so would release private data."
The district also said complaints are often accepted by state agencies "whether or not there is any merit to the allegations. In fact, most complaints made to agencies are dismissed."
Achieving a dismissal can be costly, the district said.
"When employers are faced with potential litigation, they have to consider the cost of defense versus settlement."
Residents packed a school board "listening session" Thursday and demanded members disclose the reasons for the payout. Some said school leaders should resign.
State Rep. Pam Myhra, R-Burnsville, is working on legislation that would strengthen the requirement that the reasons for a severance payment are disclosed. The House Education Finance Committee is expected to discuss the bill Tuesday.
Chance broke her silence Thursday night, releasing a statement that said her "empathy is with the public as I believe they fully deserve answers."
The statement hinted that others might be involved in her departure.
"I am not at liberty to provide any details," Chance wrote. "All I can suggest are proper data requests on current leadership."

Gerry Fraley: Tonight is the Rangers' biggest game of the season
In an interview Tuesday morning with The Dunham and Miller Show on KTCK-AM 1310 The Ticket, SportsDay Rangers beat writer Gerry Fraley was asked to comment on tonight's game and the opening night loss. He surprised the hosts with his initial answer.
"Tonight is the biggest game of the season," Fraley said. "You can't lose a series to the Astros and compete in American League West. I'm serious. … They have six series against them. They have to go at least 12-7. You can not lose a series to this team. It's like losing serve in tennis."
In regards, to Sunday night's performance, Fraley explained that Texas may have been at a disadvantage before the first pitch.
"Matt Harrison wasn't good, the offense wasn't good," Fraley said. "Cruz butchered a ball in right field. Kinsler does his usual flub and loses his focus. It was just a real, real flat effort and I wonder how much going back to Arlington to play the Mexico City team last Thursday, going to San Antonio to play the Padres … having no off day before the opener. I wonder how much that Cowboy-like travel schedule caught up to them."

MANSFIELD, PA— Before ever taking a class at Mansfield University, more than 20 incoming students took part in a new leadership program this week.
The inaugural 101st First Year Student Adventure took place on Tuesday and Wednesday.
101st participants took part in several team building exercises and bonding experiences. The group also did trail maintenance and clean-up at Sand Run Falls in Arnot, PA as a community service project.
"The main focus of this program is to teach our new students about the Mansfield University Creed (character, scholarship, culture, and service) and the importance of community service and leadership while they are attending Mansfield and beyond," Frank Crofchick, the program's creator and MU Community Conduct Officer and Service Coordinator, said.
"The name, 101st, is based on Company B, 101st Infantry Regiment, Pennsylvania Volunteers, who fought in the Civil War," Crofchick added. "The soldiers were from Mansfield and the surrounding area and were later known as the Tioga Mountaineers."
MU's mascot and nickname, Mountaineers, honors the same Regiment.

GOLDEN VALLEY, Minn -- This month's Medtronic Community Partner Spotlight focuses on the Minnesota Resuscitation Consortium.
Kim Harkins, of the Minnesota Resuscitation Consortium, told us about the HeartRescue Project at the University of Minnesota and their program to improve outcomes after Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) throughout Minnesota.
We learned about the difference between a heart attack and SCA, and how an on-line, virtual Save-a-Life simulator can take some of the fear out of public bystander response to SCA.
The Consortium is one of seven partners that make up the HeartRescue project, sponsored by the Medtronic Foundation. Launched in March 2011, the HeartRescue Project is designed to improve how SCA is recognized, treated and measured in the United States. You can learn how to respond to a sudden cardiac arrest by trying the virtual Save-a-life simulator at www.HeartRescueNow.com.

Garford Motor Truck Company[edit]
In 1909, the Garford Motor Truck Company was established in Elyria, Ohio, a small town 30 miles outside Cleveland.
By June 1912, the company was awarded a lucrative contract with the United States Post Office. The first order called for 11 trucks; the following for 20 trucks, for a total of 31 trucks. "This is very significant of the practical efficiency of this most advanced commercial car." The post office had experimented for two years "with practically every truck made." They tried not only all the leading American trucks, but the foreign trucks, as well. The test resulted in the Garford being awarded first honors. The Garford proved to be the most practical truck under all conditions.[1]
Superior Body Company[edit]
In 1925, the company changed its name to the Superior Body Company and moved its operations to Lima, Ohio, where it occupied a new plant housing a large manufacturing facility and administrative offices. The company diversified, introducing a line of hearse and ambulance bodies (known as professional cars and becoming a major producer of school bus bodies for the U.S. and Canada, as well as export markets. For its professional-car platforms, Superior signed an agreement with Studebaker, thus gaining instant access to some 3000 dealers and Studebaker's chassis engineering. The company had continuing success for several years, and on the strength of this arrangement, rose to a prominent position in the professional-car business; by 1930, Superior and Studebaker had the only complete line of professional cars in the North American market. In 1938, having achieved success and having established a dealer network of its own, Superior left the partnership with Studebaker and began building bodies on General Motors platforms.
Superior Coach Company[edit]
The company changed its name to Superior Coach Company in 1940. In the years that followed, hearses were styled on Cadillac, LaSalle, and Pontiac chassis. By 1949, the company had added Chrysler, DeSoto, and Dodge chassis to its funeral coach line, offering customers a smaller investment and lower overhead. School bus bodies were built primarily on Chevrolet/GM, Dodge, Ford, and International Harvester truck chassis. In 1951, the Lima facility was expanded and a new facility in Kosciusko, Mississippi, was dedicated.
Sheller-Globe Corporation[edit]
In 1969, Superior Coach Company was acquired by an industrial conglomerate and auto parts maker, the Toledo, Ohio-based Sheller-Globe Corporation. The 1977 model year had a major downsizing in the Cadillac automobile chassis used for the professional car business. The ambulance sector switched to larger vehicles based upon van, cutaway van chassis, and truck chassis. The watershed year of 1977 also brought new Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards for school buses built after April 1, which increased both costs and engineering challenges. In addition to higher costs, at the same time, a downturn in North American school bus purchase volumes began as the children of the Baby Boom completed their elementary and secondary educations.
By 1980, Superior was one of the "Big Six" school bus body manufacturing companies in the United States, competing with Blue Bird Body Company, Carpenter Body Company, Thomas Built Buses, Inc., Ward Body Company, and Wayne Corporation, as well as Gillig Corporation and Crown Coach Corporation (manufacturers which traded primarily on the West Coast). Bidding competition for reduced volumes became devastating to profits and even liquidity. In 1979, Ward declared bankruptcy, reorganizing as AmTran the following year, which later became IC Bus.
Faced with these challenges, industry over-capacity among school bus manufacturers, and the loss of ambulance business in the professional car sector, Sheller-Globe Corporation liquidated its Superior-related investments in late 1980, and portions of its assets were sold.
Carrollton bus disaster[edit]
In 1988, nearly a decade after Sheller-Globe exited the school bus manufacturing business, a disastrous accident occurred with one of the Superior bus bodies it had built. As of 2010, the Carrollton bus disaster remained one of the two worst bus accidents in U.S. history. The bus had been built only 9 days before the 1977 FMVSS standards would have required additional collision protection of the fuel tank. Although no legal determination of product liability was ever made, Sheller-Globe and Ford Motor Company each contributed substantially to the settlement funds for those injured and the families of those who were killed.
The accident and the legal battle afterward were recounted in a 1994 book by James S. Kuen. Reckless Disregard: Corporate Greed, Government Indifference, and the Kentucky School Bus Crash was published by Simon & Schuster of New York City. (ISBN 0-671-70533-4)
Small businesses emerge from Superior after Sheller-Globe[edit]
After Sheller-Globe announced the closure of its Lima bus and professional car manufacturing operations in 1980, several small businesses purchased portions of the assets, and carried on successfully with several product lines.
Mid Bus: Small school buses[edit]
Although large school bus manufacturing was discontinued with the 1980 model year, Mid Bus, a new small business based in Lima organized by three former employees, resumed production of the smallest Superior school buses, beginning with a workforce of seven persons. The small business of Mid Bus grew successfully, and after a move to a much larger facility at Bluffton, Ohio, was acquired by Collins Industries in 1998.
Accubuilt: Professional cars[edit]
In 1981, the funeral car business of Superior was sold to Tom Earnhart. Later that year, it was merged with the largest competitor, the S&S Coach Company.[2] This formed a new company, S&S/Superior of Ohio, to oversee the further development of the two businesses. Manufacturing operations were consolidated at Superior's plant in Lima, which had been expanded 30 years earlier.
As of 2007, Earnhart's venture continues to operate as a portion of Accubuilt, Inc., using the Superior Coach trade name for its line of funeral cars and specialty vehicles. Accubuilt's 200,000-square-foot (19,000 m2) flagship facility is also the exclusive production plant for the W.P. Chrysler Executive Series 300, a longer-wheelbase version of the Chrysler 300.[2]
Accubuilt's Limousine Division also operates a facility in Springfield, Missouri, that manufactures limousines with wheelbase extensions up to 130 inches (330 cm).[2]

Loeb extends WRC title lead in NZComment on this story
Frenchman Sebastien Loeb won the Rally New Zealand Sunday to extend his lead at the top of the World Rally Championship to 38 points.
The eight-time defending world champion finished 29.6 seconds ahead of Citroen teammate Mikko Hirvonen to secure his third Rally New Zealand title after winning in 2005 and 2008.
It was Loeb's fifth win in seven rounds of this year's championship and the 72nd of a stellar career in which he has monopolised the world title for the past eight years in a row.
Loeb entered the final day with a 6.4 second lead over Hirvonen and the Citroen drivers were under orders to take no risks in the wet conditions to ensure a one-two finish for the French car manufacturer.
"It's been a long weekend and my driving has not been perfect," Loeb said.
"We made a few mistakes in the closing power stage, when we were pushing too hard but the most important thing is that we have won."
Norway's Petter Solberg came third in the fastest of the Fords and said he could have finished higher if not for a mistake in tyre selection on the opening day Friday.
"We came here to win but a third place is still good so we must be happy with that," he said. "The team and the car is fantastic, but we just need to keep going and hopefully one day soon a win will follow."
Solberg's teammate Jari-Matti Latvala qualified fastest but had to settle for seventh after crashing into a fence on day one.
The major drama on the final day came when Ott Tanak of Estonia rolled his Ford during the 22nd special stage. He was unharmed but had to retire from the race. -AFP

Gooding & Company continues to lead won the battle of the giants it had with RM at Scottsdale by clearing $ 34.98m at its prestigious opening sale of 2011. An international audience of collectors and enthusiasts flocked to the sale, and bidding was strong, with 121 of the 129 lots offered finding new homes for a 94% sales rate.
According to David Gooding, President and founder, 'strong 2011 auction sales will result from an increasing demand for original, preservation-class quality cars," such as the 1953 Fiat 8V Supersonic that sold for $ 1,705,000 and the 1962 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Roadster that sold for $ 951,500 at Saturday's auction.
'Mint condition models are equally in demand these days as we saw in the strong final sales of the 1937 MG SA Tourer and 1965 Ferrari 275 GTB Alloy Long Nose,' pristine examples that sold for $ 209,000 and $ 1,430,000, respectively. Gooding & Company's Friday auction included an exciting collection of 11 Ferraris and modern prototypes from the Estate of Benny Caiola that collectively made $ 5,225,000.

'The Original Face Was A Pussy!'
So, what do we call you? Brad? Hangover-bloke? Face? Some other nickname?
Coop. I like being called Coop. My last name's Cooper. I like it because my dad used to be called Coop. And I always wanted a handle, like a really cool handle, but I never had one. I was thinking we could go with Coop.
OK, Coop. In the TV show, Face was a proper ladies' man. Is he still a lady killer in the new film?
Well, I don't know if he's an actual lady killer – that could be the sequel maybe – but definitely women are his downfall. It gets the team in trouble. Face's love of women is almost child-like, in the sense he falls in love with every girl! It's not, 'How many can I conquer?', it's like, 'Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh.' He just keeps falling in love everywhere. But this Face is much grittier than the one on the TV show.
You're ripped in The A-Team. Was it hard getting in shape?
It was a lot of hard work. I had this incredible physical training regime to get into the shape the director wanted. Because BA, played by Rampage Jackson, is a huge guy. And Liam Neeson, who plays Hannibal, is a big guy. And then there's little Bradley Cooper – and this guy is part of this elite team? I'm glad he said, 'Brother, you've got to bulk up.'
What did you do?
Oh, f**k, diet was everything. I did 2000 calories a day – 2000 is nothing. No sugar, no salt, no flour. Then about two hours workout a day. Cardio and weights. Very concentrated, sometimes 15 minutes of interval training with no break in between. And that doesn't include the military training, learning how to run with an M4 machine gun with 300 rounds of ammo on your body, and a 9mm Gloch. It was incredible.
Looks like it paid off…
I never thought it would be possible. Even if you have a soda, you're screwed. If you cheat a little bit, you may as well just f**k it. At one point, they said, 'You can eat almonds,' so I was eating tons. Then I was like, 'I've been training for a month, my body hasn't f**king changed at all. I'm going nuts.' My trainer said, 'How many almonds a day? Half a cup?' I was like, 'Half a cup? I eat a bag of almonds a day.' The fat I was putting into my body, I may as well have been eating three pizzas a day. When I cut that out, two weeks later my body had changed.
Are you still working out?
Not any more. The abs are gone! We were doing a photoshoot earlier and the guy was like, 'Take your jacket off' and I was like 'Errr… is this going to come out right when the movie does? Because they're going to say it was all digitally-enhanced, with these little arms.'
The tank scene is awesome. Was that your idea?
Ha! Can you imagine? 'If I do this movie, here's what I want: a tank to fall out of the sky, and I want to get up in the turret and shoot Reapers.' No, but it was amazing to shoot because I was really shooting that 50mm-caliber gun on the turret of the tank, it just happened to be on a sound stage. It was so loud, it was incredible. It's a powerful piece of machinery.
The Hangover was ace. What was it like having that guy's nuts all over you when he leaped out of the car boot, naked?
Having Ken Jeong's balls and penis on my neck was very weird. He came up with that idea. He said, 'Hey Todd [Phillips – director], I would like to be naked,' and Todd was like, 'Yeah, sure, whatever.' What I didn't realise was I'd end up with his testicles on my neck about 30 times and get, like, neck herpes from it.
Ha! So that's the most awkward you've ever felt on set?
Well, I used to host this show Lonely Planet: Globe Trekker, and we'd go all over the world doing crazy sh*t, living in tents. We did one shot and I was like, 'Hey motherf**ker!' and I mooned one of the camera guys, and they were like 'Aarrgghh!' and I still had toilet paper hanging out of my butt! It was awful.

|Kentucky, the Lost Cause has idolized, overrated Lee to the point of ridiculousness. Lee did this, Lee did that... no his men did this & did that he put them in the place where they could and then he prayed to God that they would hold. IMHO Lee's men are the one's who deserve the credit, not Lee.

One eastern Kentucky city is a step closer to banning synthetic marijuana.
Barbourville's city council met for its first reading of an ordinance which would ban synthetic cannabinoids.
Several other counties have already banned the substances and a bill is pending in Frankfort which would ban the substances statewide.
