Its easy to salute all the great dads out there. Everyone is doing that, so the Hernia thought it would be best to put the spotlight on one of the biggest ass-clown 'dads' out there. Norwalk, Connecticut's own Calvin Murphy. We aren't sure if this cute little girl is his daughter, but there is a mathematical chance that she is. Fathering kids isn't the worst of it, as he was accused of molesting 5 of his 10 daughters. He was acquitted thanks for to the work of his crafty legal team headed by… drum roll…… Hernia legend RUSTY HARDIN.

Mr. Grumpy (click image to enlarge)
If his verse is any indication, Ogden Nash met his own grumpy grackle, and wasn't particularly impressed:
The grackle's voice is less than mellow,
his heart is black, his eye is yellow.
He bullies more attractive birds
with hoodlum deeds and vulgar words,
and should a human interfere,
attacks that human in the rear.
I cannot help but deem the grackle
an ornithological debacle.
Despite Nash's characterization, the grackle I came to know as Mr. Grumpy didn't seem inclined toward bullying or attacks. Though loud, impertinent, and insistent, he wasn't at all aggressive. He only wanted to be noticed: preferably by a female of his own species. That hunger for attention and approval appeared to lie near the heart of his aggravation. (more…)

A word of advice: In the upcoming presidential elections, please research your candidates. Don't go by the answers they give to pollisters but by their track record, voting record and answers that match issues which you have decided are important to you.
The latest debates prove how useless that format is.
Politicians are good at having staff look at a given community and determine what they think will "sell" in that community at a given time. If, for example, they tell you they think our borders are not secure, check their track record for how they have voted on the issue in the past. Go by what they do, not what they say.
Most of us in the middle are not represented by either party. The Republicans represent Big Business (think: jobs going overseas), and the Democrats are representing the liberal left (think: socialism).
Former Texas gubernatorial candidate Kinky Friedman defined "politics" on a recent Book TV program. "Poly" comes from the root word for many, and "ticks" means blood-sucking insects. Therefore, politics means "many blood-sucking insects."
Sounds accurate to me.

I have this fiddle http://jsfiddle.net/jdsans/38GFS/ which I was trying to workout but I could not send return for the callback function to the main function. The callback function contains end return value exactly what I want but its not returning back.
When I use the document.write() function to print the return value then I get the exact value printed that I want but as I said earlier it doesn't gets returned.
Please can anybody work with this fiddle to show me a working example. I have added more details in the fiddle as comments so that you don't have any problem understanding me.

INTRODUCING the works of three New Orleans Artists in time for French Qtr Fest, Shore Leave, and Jazzfest. Kim Welsh, Rick Moore, Claudia Gehrke aka "mardiclaw".
these three artists have a wide range of beautiful work that reflects the culture and heritage of this beautiful city. lots of jazzfest shots, secondlines, and krewes.
Art Exhibit Opening Celebration
Tuesday, April 1, 2014
featuring photographs of
KIM WELSH and
paintings of Indians, Bonez and mo' by
complementary good food and great beer
at the
Crescent City Brewhouse
527 Decatur Street
New Orleans, Louisiana 70130
and paintings of those photos. a painting a day from myself, and the beauty of jazzfest, secondlines, and musicians from Rick Moore and Kim Welsh.
hope to see you there!
There is much that is great and wonderful and exceptional about New Orleans, but nothing is more impressive than the fact that the richest elements of this city's culture are participatory. - Lolis Eric Elie
In 1879, the newspaper columnist Lafcadio Hearn took note of New Orleans' chronic states of decay, insolvency, lawlessness and prurience, yet still proclaimed: "It is better to live here in sackcloth and ashes than to own the whole state of Ohio."
"Look at all the second-liners. Everybody's got their own little take,
their own little move, their own way of swiveling that ankle, just the
way everybody has their own way of cooking red beans. We're very
lucky. It's a precious and irreplaceable and rare experience to be
part of a community where the sense of belonging comes from really
being yourself." Tom Piazza, author of "City of Refuge"
"The second line is so much more than a religion or an obsession or a cult even. Simply put, it's soul medicine. Whatever harsh realities life deals you through the week, a good ole four-hour long second line parade will burn that poison right on out of you." Big Red Cotton
"You're gonna find heaven right here on earth...
Way down yonder in New Orleans."
— Louis Armstrong

(SmallGovTimes) – Medications approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration result in 100,000 deaths every year from what the federal agency describes as "Adverse Drug Reactions", or ADRs. Worse, over 2 million Americans suffer non-deadly adverse reactions to drugs every year that the FDA has approved "safe".
ADRs refer to negative reactions that Americans suffer from taking drugs as directed by their doctor or the drug's manufacturer. These cases DO NOT include overdoses or drug abuse.
In fact, the FDA claims that adverse drug reactions account for the 4th leading cause of death "ahead of pulmonary disease, diabetes, AIDS, pneumonia, accidents and automobile deaths". Who is the FDA truly protecting, and what responsibility does the FDA accept in the number of deaths that result from its approved drugs? These deaths give the phrase "FDA Warning" a whole new meaning.
The bureaucratic mess of the FDA makes the formulation of effective new antibiotics cost-prohibitive, according to Steve Forbes, by changing the rules in the middle of clinical trials and adding significant and arbitrary new requirements into the testing process. This results in an increase in drug costs for everyone and demonstrably fails to make Americans more safe.
Thanks to the Food and Drug Administration, you are much more likely to be killed by FDA-approved drugs than you are from terrorism. How many terrorist attacks on U.S. soil would it take to keep pace with the number of Americans that FDA-approved drugs kill every year?
2,996 people died in the September 11th attack. Doing the math, that amounts to more than 33 9/11-style terrorist attacks every year.
The United States spends around $75 billion every year in its combined anti-terrorism efforts. The FDA's budget of just over $2 billion pales in comparison, but what are Americans truly getting for their money? The real threat to American lives comes from expensive drugs and bureaucratic legalese that makes effective testing expensive and cumbersome, leaving Americans to literally fight for their lives amid a slurry of expensive medications that our government has deemed "safe".
In a healthcare system considered the best in the world, Americans should expect better than 100,000 deaths a year. The first step is recognizing that government almost never knows best.

Its bike season again and last year I made all my biking and purchasing mistakes. This year I bought a new bike that had everything perfect except the handlebars. Figured it wouldn't be an issue. All I'm seeing is 40-42cm handlebars. I have another bike those those dimensions and I hate it. I'm currently looking for a 60cm butterfly or bullhorn handlebars, any suggestions ?
Edit: Not sure how pixs would help. I said I'm looking for 60cm handlebars, trek or bullhorn would work. I'm just giving the backstory so you know why. But I guess here goes.
Both handlebars pictured below are 57-60cm
This is what I had prior. I loved it minus the fact I'd torque on the extenders going up hills and they'd move. I want to find a 1 piece handlebar of this or butterfly handle that is roughly the same placement.
This is what I currently have and want to replace

I was wondering why it takes so long to get a quiz-report. It was the picture that overviewgraph.php draws. There is a division by zero in line 60:
$bandwidth = $quiz->grade / $bands;
because $bands is by default zero.
Even when I change maxgrade by hand - I have to do it twice at first time.
After that, there's no division by zero and everything works fine!

Mary Lou O'Connor's $25 gift card had been just collecting dust in her West Hartford home for the past four years.
O'Connor was in no rush to drive across the Connecticut River to spend the card she received as a birthday present for the Promenade Shops at Evergreen Walk in South Windsor. She believed that under Connecticut law gift cards don't expire.
Now that she is retired she recently took a drive out to South Windsor to be told that her card had a zero balance even though she had not cashed it. O'Connor was told that Connecticut law only provides protection against expiration on cards issued by Connecticut businesses.
She then took a closer look at the back of the card, which in small print said "a $ 2.00 fee will be deducted each month from the Card balance starting 12 months and 1 day after the Card Activation date."
She asked CtWatchdog whether that was legal.
"Please let me know if I have any recourse. I would like to spread the word and warn other consumers of this practice because I was surprised that this is legal. It certainly is not a good public relations practice," she told CtWatchdog.
Unfortunately the card is not worth anything and she has no recourse. Connecticut Consumer Protection Department spokeswoman Claudette Carveth explains that there are two sets of laws that apply to gift cards sold in Connecticut.
Gift certificates and gift cards that are sold by local businesses in Connecticut - like gift shops, beauty parlors and restaurants - are protected against expiration dates or inactivity fees as long as they are backed by Connecticut firms.
However, cards issued or backed by federal financial institutions or firms from other states carry no such protection. Such is the case with the card purchased at The Promenade Shops, which is issued by a Kansas company, StoreFinancial.
These cards are covered by federal laws, which say that any card issued on or after Aug. 22, 2010 may not expire within the first five years from the date it was issued. Also, no fees can be charged in the first year.
But, after 365 days, monthly fees can be charged as long as it is disclosed to the purchaser. And that is what happened in O'Connor's case.
"It's deceitful," said O'Connor. "It is legal but unethical."

text: Posted January 24, 2014 Point was, the "science" that you bow down to cannot get things right within 30 years, but you still bow down to it for their "30 million years ago" scenarios. Not against parts of evolution at all, but also take things with a grain, sometimes a block of salt. When you have to start an argument by stating that someone with a different opinion is: "bowing down" or referring to "your messiah Obama" you have already lost. And Science is generally a LOT better at looking at things over a 30 million year period than a 30 year period (something generally called "more data points"). But because, as you've already demonstrated, your knowledge of how science works is limited to it being some kind of religion people "bow down" to, you probably would not be aware of that. 1 person likes this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Four months after hurricane Katrina hit the Gulf Coast in August 2005, college student Nora Livingstone decided to drive from her home in Toronto to New Orleans to assist at an animal shelter during winter break. Livingstone, a double major in environmental studies and anthropology, thought she'd be walking and grooming dogs who had been separated from their owners during the flood, in an...
Dog's Life: Travel
The March and April 'tween season is upon us, and it's one of our favorite times to take to the mountains: the slopes are a little quieter, trails are less busy and prices are frequently more enticing. Winter storms are often followed by early signs of spring, which means that we (and our co-pilots) have plenty of activities to choose among. Stacking the deck even higher, here are three...

Editor's Letter
Not that we need a holiday to remind us how much we cherish our dogs, but with St. Valentine's Day fast approaching, it's a good thing to ponder. Our newest dog, terrier-mix Charlie, whom we adopted about a year ago, has a lot going for him. As many of you may recall, we got him shortly after our 18-year-old terrier-mix Lenny died. I had grown quite attached to the sine qua non terrier nature and...

The social patterns of a dog park
The West End cemetery is full of old dead sea captains and soldiers from the War of 1812, kids that died of cholera and wives that, after six or eight or ten children, just gave up. There are rich people under monuments, the Longfellow family in a vault, and paupers without so much as a wooden marker. No one's been buried here since the middle of this century, and so the place has fallen into...
Dog's Life: Lifestyle
A few months ago, one of our dog-park friends passed away unexpectedly while backpacking. Her two dogs — an older Husky and a young Jack Russell Terrier — were at home with their dog sitter at the time. There were no instructions or nearby relatives to help decide what to do with her dogs. Luckily, the Husky was quickly adopted by a friend, who had his sibling, but fi guring out what to do about...

Additional Information
Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.

22 Jump Street
Phil Lord, Chris Miller
Jonah Hill, Channing Tatum, Peter Stormare, Ice Cube, Dave Franco, Amber Stevens
22 Jump Street
We liked the first installment in this franchise a lot, and we also dig the new setting (college spring break). There's even a moment in the trailer (when Channing Tatum attempts an Hispanic accent with the classic line "My name's Jeff") that has us laughing each and every time we see it. But 21 Jump Street did the impossible. It made a mockery of the whole TV show as movie ideal while delivering its own unique brand of laughs. Now directors Phil Lord and Christopher Miller will try to trap lightning in a bottle for a second time. So far, they look to have been successful.
How to Train Your Dragon 2
Dean DeBlois
Jay Baruchel, Cate Blanchett, Gerard Butler, Djimon Hounsou, America Ferrera, Craig Ferguson, Kit Harington, Jonah Hill, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, T.J. Miller, Kristen Wiig
How to Train Your Dragon 2
In the hierarchy of beloved CG movies, you have almost anything Pixar, a preponderance of Disney, and then How to Train Your Dragon. While it didn't win the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature (it lost to the equally worthy Toy Story 3), it was considered by many to be the best film of its kind that (or any) year. So of course we are getting a sequel and there is already post-Cannes buzz about it (the verdict: it's not as good as the first film, but close). One assumes a massive opening weekend for the film. After that…Part 3, perhaps?
The Rover
David Michod
Guy Pearce, Robert Pattinson, Scoot McNairy, Gillian Jones, David Field
The Rover
Ever since he arrived on the scene with 2010's Animal Kingdom (centering on the true story of one of Australia's most notorious crime families - the Pettingills), fans and cinephiles have wondered what David Michod would do for an encore. The answer has finally arrived, and it's an odd one at that. 10 years after a global economic collapse, the outback of Australia is like the Old West. When he is stolen from, one character (Guy Pearce) vows revenge, and get help from an injured member of the gang (Robert Pattinson) who robbed him. While the response at Cannes was mixed, we can't wait to see this one.
The Signal
William Eubank
Laurence Fishburne, Brenton Thwaites, Olivia Cooke, Lin Shaye
The Signal
No, this isn't the rerelease of the 2007 horror film about a curious noise that turns people into zombies. Instead, we have a slice of speculative fiction in which a group of hackers end up as part of a freaky future shock experiment. It has something to do with alien encounters, or so we've been told. While the trailer does look tantalizing, there is a lot that can go wrong with a film like this. Let's just say we'll be catching up with it when it hits cable, or perhaps, one of the main streaming services available.
Witching and Bitching
Álex de la Iglesia
Hugo Silva, Mario Casas, Pepón Nieto, Carolina Bang, Terele Pavez
Witching and Bitching
It's no secret that we LOVED The Last Circus. It was our pick for the best film of 2010. Now the director, Álex de la Iglesia is back with another insane looking extravaganza and we can hardly wait. The premise finds two criminals conducting a heist, only to find themselves hiding out in a forest overrun by cannibalistic witches. Not everyone whose seen this has enjoyed the more fringe elements of its lunatic vision, but if it's half the film Circus was (which played like Santa Sangre as envisioned by David Lynch and Terry Gilliam) we're in!
Kat Candler
Aaron Paul, Juliette Lewis, Josh Wiggins, Jonny Mars
When Breaking Bad ended, Aaron Paul was supposed to become a breakout star…at least cinematically. He had the lead in Disney's Fast and Furious wannabe Need for Speed and he's co-starring in Ridley Scott's Bible epic, Exodus. Then his car chase film tanked and soon everyone was wondering if he really was mainstream star material. This may be the movie that breaks him among filmgoers. It centers on a deadbeat dad who tries to get his youngest son back from government bureaucracy. He must work with his older, delinquent child to turn their lives around. No vehicular mayhem is involved.
The Human Race
Paul Hough
Paul McCarthy-Boyington, Eddie McGee, Trista Robinson
The Human Race
Otherwise known as Stephen King's The Long Walk reconfigured for a low budget horror outing. Here, 80 individuals from all facets of life are lifted from their humble existence and set off on a competition where the rules are relatively simple: If you are lapped twice, you die. If you step off the path, you die. If you touch the grass, you will die. Only one will win. While it sounds like a great idea for a fright flick, writer/director Paul Hough has yet to really prove himself to in the feature film arena. His most famous effort is a documentary on backyard wrestling.

Chaotic Commission by kevinbolkWatch

"Oh I got a tale to top that! Back when I was young, back in my narwhals riding days. I was digging a hole in the ground, started filling in with clouds, or was it clowns? It really began to stink, must have been clowns, they taste like butter, and tears. Where was I going with this again? Something about fish sticks and custard right?"
CHEESE FOR EVERYONE...wait, cheese for no one XD
What is happening?!
Discord just get fat. What did you feed him ???
raining cheese because "CHEESE FOR EVERYONE!"
I love all 3 characters! Wonderfully drawn!
Lol Discord!
I see Cheese from FHFIF in the background. Couldn't be happier!
Dare we fathom what kind of tea that is?
Good Job, I think it looks good
It's Cheese from Fosters! That episode was hilarious, plus it sparked my love of Lauren Faust's work.
Great job with this!
Great job with this!

ANNAPOLIS, Md. (WJLA) - A frontrunner may have emerged in the multi-million dollar battle to build a casino in Prince George's County. Three operators are pushing their unique plans to build in the area around Fort Washington, but in the end only one will be chosen.
The bidders have all made promises;{}the{}Parx Casino says it will give $100 million to improve Indian Head Highway and have a bigger gaming floor. The owners of Rosecroft Raceway say they'll be a good neighbor and donate all their profits to the county.
"We believe our proposal brings the greatest economic impact to the state," says Karen Bailey, spokesperson for Penn National Gaming.
The spokesman for MGM, which wants to build at National Harbor, promises the biggest, best, and most lucrative casino for Maryland and Prince George's County.
"MGM National Harbor is the best company with the best site with the best proposal," says Gordon Absher.
But it's up to the seven-member facility location to decide who gets a casino.{}On Friday, they heard essentially from the fact-checkers, consultants hired to run the numbers.{}
Consultants say MGM has an edge because the company will employ more people, handle traffic better, and would generate more money.{}
Total revenue projections show Rosecroft at $551 million, Parx at $617 million, and MGM at $719 milion a year after opening in 2016.
"We're very excited as we get closer to the conclusion of this process," Absher says.
Despite MGM's confidence, the others aren't about to give up. The head of Parx says the consulants got the revenue projections wrong.
"I was happy to hear the consultants say it's an art, not a science, because it's not a science. I think it's totally illogical," says Anthony Ricci, the CEO of Greenwood Racing.

- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 cups chopped dates
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 3/4 cup water
- 1. In a large bowl, cream butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in vanilla. Combine the flour, baking powder and baking soda; gradually add to creamed mixture and mix well. Refrigerate for 1 hour or until easy to handle.
- 2. On a lightly floured surface, roll out dough to 1/8-in. thickness. Cut with a floured 2-1/2-in. cookie cutter. Place 1 in. apart on greased baking sheets. Bake at 350° for 10-12 minutes or until edges are lightly browned. Remove to wire racks to cool.

Unpredictable new action-packed racing game that captures the raw, unfettered joy and energy of Friday night derby racing where anything and everything goes. Having the fastest car doesn't guarantee you success. You'll only be the last one standing in the Demo Derby or the winner of the Suicide Race if you can take out your opponents while avoiding being taken out yourself. It's no frills, unbridled fun. Courage is often your best weapon and bragging rights are your best reward in this less than pretty fight to the finish.

Another announcement from Warner, this time they've teamed up with TT Games and the LEGO Group to bring us LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-4. No that's not the recommended age, it's a game that covers the first four Harry Potter books. Tom Stone, a managing director at TT Games commented:
"With LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-4 we aim to create an open, wide-ranging experience within Hogwarts that's full of fun and LEGO magic. Harry Potter is among the most beloved and well-respected characters, we look forward to bringing gamers a new way of interacting in the universe with the usual LEGO games' fun humor and exploration".
A trailer is also available.
Target platforms have yet to be announced, but I'd bet my teeth Wii will be one of them.

Yeah: He really took that loss hard.

The biggest and most offensive thing: the spring roll contains meat. It doesn't say that anywhere on their menu. This is so, so unacceptable: if the spring roll has meat, SAY SOMy test for cheap...
The food is just not good. It's american style counter service "Chinese" that is greasy and fast, but just not good. Poor atmosphere too.

Lombard Lamp
Each time that I visit Lincoln Square, I learn something new about its history and heritage. I already knew that it was once a German enclave. Those German influences are still evident today.
I also knew that it was named after Abraham Lincoln
Just recently I found out about two other items, both located in Giddings Plaza, which is an adorable square right in the middle of Lincoln Square.
I was attracted to the beautiful large lamp at the far back of the plaza, nearest to Giddings Street.
It is called The Lombard Lamp because the city of Hamburg, Germany presented this lamp to the city of Chicago as a goodwill gesture. This took place in 1979 when Michael Bilandic was mayor of Chicago. He decided to place it in the Lincoln Square neighborhood since it was a German neighborhood. This Lamp is of Baroque style and is made of black cast iron and brass [similar to those on the Lombard Bridge in Hamburg]. The Lombard Lamp used to be located at Western and Lawrence [alongside the Lincoln Statue]. That is a much busier spot with lots of traffic; thus, it suffered from weather and auto emission damage. Thanks goodness, the Lincoln Square community restored the lamp. Then, in 1994, Mayor Daley and Mayor Voscherrat [Hamburg] signed a "sister cities agreement". The community of Lincoln Square celebrated this agreement by having the lamp moved to its present location in Giddings Plaza. [See Photos #1 & 2].
Also in Giddings Plaza in Lincoln Square is a bronze tiered fountain whose design was inspired by the great Louis Sullivan and his building at 4811 N. Lincoln [now the Museum of Decorative Arts]. My granddaughter, Sabrina Dee, loves this fountain. She calls it a "waterfall" and can spend a half an hour at a time playing around it.
I hope to add to this tip as I discover more about this wonderful neighborhood called Lincoln Square.
Riverwalk Cafe & Bar
Chicago really comes alive in the summertime, and a multitude of people visit each year.
During August of 2007, Allan and I observed how "flocks of people" are attracted to key locations along the Magnificent Mile.
1. Riverwalk Cafe & Bar at 401 North Michigan Aveneue on the concourse level [312-229-8801] has recently received a liquor license and has expanded hours, and many tourist are really enjoying the river view, the new bar menu, and the spectacular location. You are also able to dine indoors, but in the summer it's the riverside patio that is "packed".
2. Just outside the Hancock Observatory Building [already a tourist attraction itself], hordes of people stand in line or sit in the patio area to enjoy the ambience and the famouse cheesecake at the Cheesecake Factory at 875 North Michigan Avenu [312 337-1101]. I must say that the architecture of this restaurant is quite odd with all its curving surfaces and colorful light fixtures. Plus, I don't think that I have ever seen a larger, more diversified menu anywhere else.
Wow...the last page of the menu [and it's a large page] is devoted to their cheesecake list. Be warned, it will take time to make decisions about which of the many cheesecakes you wish to try. YOU SHOULD MAKE RESERVATIONS.
3. On Saturday mornings, there is a huge Farmer's Market on Division Street north and west of the Magnificent Mile. The street is closed to traffic, and a large number of "booths" are set up that sell fresh produce. We purchased delicious corn-on-the-cob and tantalizing red peppers. If we had not had such a long walk back to our hotel, we would have purchased much more. They have pastries, breads, cheeses, meats, candles, perfumes, flowers, and assorted other items.
Jack Brickhouse Memorial
While walking down Michigan Avenue, we observed a rather new memorial of Jack Brickhouse, broadcaster for the Chicago Cubs for 40 years and the Chicago White Sox for 24 years as well as the Chicago Bears for 24 years.
This memorial is located in Pioneer Court at the Equitable Plaza just south of Tribune Tower. It is on the northeast corner of Michigan Avenue and the Chicago River. We noticed that the statue is gadjacent to JackBrickhouse Way sign. [see photo #3]
Jack's wife took his Baseball Hall of Fame ring to sculptor, Jerry McKenna, so that he could sculpt the ring on the Brickhouse statue's finger. It's a very authentic sculpture.
Jack was born in Peoria, Illinois in 1917, and at the age of 18 became the youngest sports announcer in the USA. He was the first voice on WGN-TV, and in 1979, he reached a personal milestone of 5,000 broadcast for WGN Radio and TV. Jack was also the 1st TV voice for the Chicago Bulls. He retired from the broadcasting book in 1981.
Jack Brickhouse was inducted into Media Wing of Baseball Hall of Fame in 1983 and in 13 other Halls of Fame throughout the country.
All this information about Jack Brickhouse is found engraved on the base of his sculpture. That is where I learned that he broadcast interviews with 6 Presidents. He had 4 Honorary Doctorates, and he wrote two Autobiographical best sellers called:"Thanks for Listening" and "A Man for All Seasons".
I was very fond of the man and remember his famous "Hey, Hey" when he broadcast Chicago Cub Baseball Games.
Famous Marshall Field Clock Was Saved
One of the saddest days for many people in the Chicago area was the day we learned that New York's Macy's was to replace our beloved Marshall Field's.
Fields really began as "Field, Palmer, Leiter & Co but when Levi Lieter and Potter Palmer left the company, it became known simply as Marshall Field & Co..
As time passed, great additions such as the wonderful display windows, the famous tea room, and the huge Christmas Tree became legends. Fields remained an independent Chicago company until 1982. Since that time, it has been transfered to many companies, the last one being the May Company Thus, all the Marshall Field's have now been renamed Macy's.
Thank goodness, Macy's decided to keep the famous clock (which you see in my pictures) and keep the tradition of the Christmas windows.
I went into Macy's for the first time on Februay 9. It seemed brighter than it did the last time I visited Fields; however, I still felt sad. Even though Fields had slipped in the "service" department of late, it was still the place to go in Chicago. It will take a great deal of time for me to feel comfortable in Macy's, but at least the beautiful building was saved, and, for me, that's very important.
Margie's Famed Turtle Sundae
In a cramped space in Chicago's Bucktown area on North Western Avenue, we visited the famed Margie's Candies.
Although Margie has passed, her tradition lives on. Peter Poulos Jr., the current owner, is the third generation to own Margie's. Not much has changed in the decades of this family-owned business. In 1921 Greek immigrant Peter George Poulos opened Margies where classic ice cream was served & candy was made by hand by George's wife, Margie. 18% butterfat ice cream is still served here, & the hot fudge, butterscotch, & carmel are still made.
If you want spotless, fake retro, DON'T visit here. This place is the REAL deal. It's crowded, rather "musty" smelling, and jam-packed with Beatle mementos [from their visit in 1964], dolls, hundreds of boxes of candy, & lots of old newspaper clippings on the wall.
I've heard that the service is poor; however, we did not experience that. It was not speedy, but I am not enamored with speedy.
It's difficult to make decisions because of all the choices of ice cream treats. We all 3 had an ice cream sundae [we should have shared!] The sundae comes in a huge clam-shell dish, & the topping comes in a metal pouring dish. Jill & I each ordered The Turtle Sundae with 2 scoops of ice cream, carmel topping & hot fudge in the pouring dish. It has tons of whipped cream [which I scraped off & gave to Allan]. Each sundae comes with a vanilla waffer cookie.
Since Allan loves REAL butterscotch, which he can never find, he was thrilled when he found
a real homemade butterscotch sundae.
There are only booths for seating, & each booth has its own coin-operated jukebox.
We did not try any candy, but from what I've heard, it is really good, especially the chocolate-carmel pecan tarrapins.
As we were leaving, I noticed a sign announcing that for children who make an "a" on a report card, a free cone is given. I find that quite refreshing & oh so Real Retro!

Fourth Photo: Martin [MJB123]
Fifth Photo: Roy [Imaniac]
Because Roy [Imaniac] from the Netherlands was visiting Chicago before flying to Springfield, Missouri, to attend school for a few months, we set up a VT Lunch date at the famous Bill Goat Tavern and Grill.
Ron Dace [RonDace] and his wife, Kathy from Wadsworth; Kristi [Dabs] from Hammond, Indiana; Erik [Erik707]' Martin [MJB123]; and I [deecat] attended the meeting to meet Roy.
It was Martin who did the organizing.
Although I personally am not crazy about Billy Goat's as a great place to eat, it is a Chicago happening and was a fun [but difficult to find] place to meet. We all had either cheeseburger or double cheeseburger plus some chips with our Cokes. We moved tables together, making it easy to hear everyone. It was quite an interesting conversation with travel dominating the subject at hand [naturally!]
Afterwards, Martin gave Roy, Erik, and I a tour to the north of the Tribune Building. We walked as far north as the Water Tower and west to Old Town. Along the way, we were able to see some great residential areas [some of the wealthiest in the city]. We stopped for a Starbuck's coffee and talked for at least an hour before we walked to the Elevated red line station at Clark/Division so that I could hop on to return to Andersonville where I had parked my car.
All-in-all, it was a wonderful afternoon with great VT members, and we were all fortunate enough to meet Roy [Imaniac}.

Old Town School of Folk Music
Since 1957, the Old Town School of Folk Music has been a place of refuge for music lovers. In the 50s and 60s, the folk music scene was kind of a subversive culture, and all those who just wanted to "hang out" or play music or simply discuss social issues (usually liberal causes) were welcome at the Old Town School of Folk Music. Today, it is no longer considered a "beatnik organization"; rather, it is a well respected institute known for embracing diversity, for helping the Chicago community express music, and for entertaining those who love music.
Until 1998, the school was located at 909 West Armitage Avenue. In 1998, they moved to Lincoln Square and into the old library which is an art-deco building. Before the move, the closed-stack library area was gutted, and a concert hall was built in its place. The stage was installed where the old circulation desk stood. Supposedly, the acoustics in this concert hall are some of the best in Chicago.
There is a cafe in the building, a store, a basement with thick walls for individual studios, and a dance room with "sprung-wood flooring. In addition, there are numerous classrooms.
The school offers a wide variety of music & dance classes for all levels of expertise.
We've been there several times and can vouch that it is low-keyed and quite friendly.

Feds Ban Banks From Charging Homeowners Fees On 'Forced Insurance'
Since 2009, millions of struggling homeowners have been moved onto higher-premium homeowners insurance after missing mortgage payments. It's known as "force-placed insurance." On Tuesday, the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) announced new rules to crack down on the fees and commissions that insurers pay to lenders.

Phosphorus bursts bloom above the hills.
Wooden crosses sprout in the wheat fields
below the ancient stone castles.
The soldiers march back through the land.
The roads moving to the click of their feet.
The dust lifting in low clouds.
Occasionally mines take away their boots.
Green faces swell like melons
amidst the elderflower and eyebright.
In the clover-grass the peasants find
black helmets that contain rain.
With an ancient patience they watch.
The sun rolls through the sky,
indifferent to the shiny soft boots
lying crooked beside the road

Annelise wants to be a spaceman, she told me, so that she and I can fly to the moon.
"What will we do when we get there?" I asked, not telling her that the astronauts had found the moon to be a cold, dark place. I sank deeper into my easy chair, though, in case she had any ill-timed illusions of leaving the earth's atmosphere that afternoon. My bones have been achy lately, and I wasn't sure I was up to spur of the moment space travel.
