Richard Sullivan Family Cemetery
Hi John,
Richard Sullivan is my GG Grandfather. I visited this site many years ago and heard that they were going to build a subdivision around it. Is the graveyard still at the same place or did they move it?

Silent Grove 1937 survey
John -
I read in your notes on Edith Hewett (memorial # 104716678) that she was not listed in the 1937 survey for Silent Grove Cemetery. Do you have this survey, and would you mind sharing? It would be great, if so. :) Thanks a lot!

Where is my grandma and great grandma graves at?
I was up there this past February and I couldn't find my grandmas and great grandmas grave sites. There looked as if someone was buried on top of them. I hope that this isn't the case.
There names are Lillian Riley wassen and queenie garriss

Find a Grave memorial #61431601
Thank you for your hard work adding these memorials!
The Subject memorial is for Carrie Faircloth Grainger Barnhill, but the headstone says Carrie G. Faircloth. I have been looking for a headstone for Carrie Grainger Faircloth. Her husband Benjamin Luke Faircloth (1900-1973) is also buried in this cemetery. My question is the last name of Barnhill -- it is on the memorial you added, but not on the headstone, as shown in the picture added by Mr. Vaught. Do you have additional information? Did Carrie marry a Barnhill after Benjamin's passing? If so, do you know why Barnhill does not appear on her headstone?
Thank you for any information you may have!

With the digital television buildout entering its final phase, the FCC has denied the request of seven stations for an extension of their DTV facility deadlines and have issued them letters of admonishment for failing to justify their requests.
The stations – WVUE in New Orleans, WICZ in Binghamton, N.Y., WKBW in Buffalo, NY, KMVU in Medford, Ore., WSJU in San Juan, Puerto Rico, WDWL in Bayamon, Puerto Rico, and WJAR in Providence, R.I. - will have six months to finish building DTV facilities or face financial penalties. Over that period, the FCC will require the stations to give periodic progress reports on conversion efforts and to demonstrate their progress.
In 1997, the FCC put a DTV conversion schedule in place that required ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox affiliates and stations in the top 10 markets to have built DTV facilities by May 1, 1999. Affiliates of those networks in markets 11 through 30 were to have completed DTV facilities by Nov. 1, 1999. The FCC required all other commercial stations to have DTV facilities by May 1, 2002 and all non-commercial stations to have such facilities a year later. As of the FCC's mid-October action, 1,061 stations across the country were making digital television available to viewers. That represents 81 percent of all stations nationally.
The commission also granted the request of 104 stations for an additional six months to begin broadcasting a digital signal. Those 104 stations, which sought a third extension of their DTV deadlines, successfully demonstrated to the commission that they had made progress in their conversions but were prevented from completing it due to acceptable circumstances such as tower siting problems, the aftermath of the Sept. 11 terrorist attack in New York, and problems with equipment delivery or construction delays.
Another 30 full-power stations that retransmit the programming of another station had their construction deadlines deferred as the commission considers the rules under which such satellite stations must work in making their DTV conversions.

Udon-Vietianne-Kong Lor cave
Udon-Vietianne-Kong Lor cave
Is there a bus from Udon Airport to Vientiane that stops at the border to allow the purchase of a visa and then onward travel?
The rough plan is stay in Vientiane for 2 nights then do a 2 night tour to Kong Lor and return for 1n Vientiane then onto Nong Khai for 3 nights.
Or is it better to visit Kong Lor from Nakhon Phanom?

Kayaking trip with Alberto and Brian was relaxing and informative. We learned a lot about the wildlife in the mangroves and picked up some life skills! Midway through the tour, we stopped on a beach where Alberto demonstrated how to open a coconut on a deserted island. I was blown away. $40 USD/pp was well spent on this trip.

- Des Plaines Police Chief William Kushner awarded Kenneth Krozel with a Citizen Award of Valor at the Monday, March 4, 2013 City Council Meeting held at Des Plaines City Hall, 1420 Miner Street. At 7:36 AM, Friday, January 18, 2013, the Des Plaines Police and Fire Departments were dispatched to the Mobil Gas Station, 800 W. Oakton Street, for an explosion/ structure fire, as reported by an individual passing by. Initial reports indicated a gas pump had exploded and a person was injured in the fire. At the time of the fire, Kenneth Krozel was pumping gas into his vehicle when he observed a fire ball coming from the next pump, causing the ground and the owners vehicle to start on fire. He ran over to the front entrance of the gas station, grabbed the outdoor tire extinguisher, and extinguished the fire at the pump. When the officers arrived on the scene they spoke to Mr. Krozel who related no one was injured and he had put out the fire. Upon notification regarding the fire at the gas pump, management initiated an emergency shut off of all the gas pumps. The consensus of the public safety personnel on the scene and the Mobil Gas Station management is that Kenneth Krozels quick thinking and immediate action prevented a potentially catastrophic gas pump explosion and/or structure fire. According to Police Chief Kushner Mr. Krozels heroic actions potentially saved a vehicle owners life and the lives of many other who may have been affected had the fire not been contained prior to reaching the volatile gasoline tanks. Mr. Krozels actions went above and beyond those of a concerned citizen and demonstrated consideration and caring for the well-being of a fellow human.

This is a continuation of application Ser. No. 523,969, filed on May 16, 1990, now abandoned.
This invention relates to ink formulations for ink-jet printers, and, more particularly, to waterfast ink formulations, especially for thermal ink-jet printers.
Thermal ink-jet printers operate by employing a plurality of resistor elements to expel droplets of ink through an associated plurality of nozzles. In particular, each resistor element, which is typically a pad of resistive material measuring about 50 μm�50 μm, is located in a chamber filled with ink supplied from an ink reservoir. A nozzle plate, comprising a plurality of nozzles, or openings, with each nozzle associated with a resistor element, defines part of the chamber. Upon energizing of a particular resistor element, a droplet of ink is expelled through the nozzle toward the print medium, whether paper, fabric, or the like. The firing of ink droplets is typically under the control of a microprocessor, the signals of which are conveyed by electrical traces to the resistor elements. By proper selection of the signals, alphanumeric and other characters are formed on the print medium.
The tight tolerances of the nozzles (typically 50 μm diameter) require that the ink not clog the nozzles. Further, repeated firings of the resistor elements, which must withstand about 10 million firings over the life of the ink cartridge, can result in fouling of the resistor element. Finally, the ink composition must be capable of interacting with the print medium, especially paper, to penetrate the paper without undue spreading, and they should be smear resistance and waterfast.
Inks are known which possess one or more of the foregoing properties. However, few ink compositions are known that possess all the foregoing properties, since an improvement in one property often results in the degradation of another property. Thus, many inks used commercially represent a compromise in an attempt to achieve an ink evidencing at least an adequate response in each of the foregoing considerations.
Further, with regard to preparing waterfast inks, prior work has concentrated on altering the dye molecule itself, such as modifying the backbone thereof or adding various functional groups thereto. While such efforts result in inks having improved waterfastness, nonetheless, organic reactions must be performed, which drives up the cost of the dye, and hence the ink.
European Patent Application 88301275.9 discusses the use of cyclodextrins in a recording liquid to enhance print quality. The inks comprise water-soluble dyes, with a maximum concentration of about 80 wt. % water.
It is desired to prepare an ink having a level of waterfastness achievable only by use of water-insoluble dyes and using commercially-available dyes and suitable additives. At the same time, it is important to develop ink formulations which have the desired improved waterfastness, but not at the expense of other properties.
In accordance with the invention, the waterfastness of an ink is improved by adding thereto a quantity of a cyclodextrin. Cyclodextrins, such as α-cyclodextrin, β-cyclodextrin, and γ-cyclodextrin, form an inclusion complex with insoluble dyes. Due to the soluble nature of the cyclodextrins, aqueous-based inks containing at least 90% water may be made from otherwise insoluble dyes. As a result, no organic solvent is required to solubilize the dye, which might complicate the ink chemistry and its interaction with the ink-jet printhead. At the same time, surface tension and viscosity of the ink are not adversely affected by using the cyclodextrin-dye inclusion complex.
The amount of cyclodextrin used depends on the dye strength desired, and typically is about twice the dye concentration.
Inks which employ the cyclodextrin complexing agents are found to be more waterfast than inks not using these agents.
The inks are simply prepared by adding the desired cyclodextrin in the precalculated amount to a vehicle comprising water and one or more humectants and then adding the desired amount of water-insoluble dye thereto.
Water-insoluble dyes are those dyes which evidence no appreciable dissolution of dye in water at room temperature. A water-insoluble dye, as used herein, is one in which its solubility in aqueous solvent (assuming <20% organic solvent) is so small that its optical density on various papers is <0.80. (This definition will vary slightly among paper brands and types, but should differ no more than �0.2.)
Water-insoluble dyes are most useful in inks in which the property of waterfastness is important, because once such inks are printed on paper, they will not smear in the presence of water. Examples of such water-insoluble dyes include solvent dyes, vat dyes and certain mordant dyes. These dyes are available in a variety of blacks and colors.
Examples of solvent dyes include Solvent Black (SB) 3, SB 5, SB 46, SB 48, Solvent Blue 36, Solvent Blue 59, Solvent Red 1, Solvent Red 24, Solvent Red 68, Solvent Yellow (SY) 13, SY 14, SY 33, and SY 93. Examples of vat dyes include Vat Black 9, Vat Black 25, Vat Blue 1, Vat Blue 6, Vat Red 10, and Vat Yellow 4. Examples of water-insoluble mordant dyes include Mordant Black 1, Mordant Black 9, Neazopon Black X52 from BASF Corp., Chemical Division (Holland, Mich.), Mordant Blue 1, Mordant Red 7, Mordant Red 9, and Mordant Yellow 26.
Incorporating such water-insoluble dyes in an ink poses many challenges. If the dyes are soluble in an organic solvent, that solvent is likely to be toxic or may react with the printhead of the printer, causing corrosion products and the like. On the other hand, such water-insoluble dyes cannot, of course, by definition be employed in water-base inks.
In accordance with the invention, cyclodextrins have been found to solubilize water-insoluble dyes in water-base inks. Cyclodextrins have a three-dimensional molecular structure having an empty space therein for accommodating the dye molecule. In particular, cyclodextrins comprise six or more α-D-glucopyranose groups bonded through α-1,4 bonding to form a cyclic compound. α-cyclodextrin is formed by cyclization of bonding of six glucose molecules. β-cyclodextrin is formed by seven glucose molecules. γcyclodextrin is formed by bonding of eight glucose molecules.
The vehicle of the inks of the invention comprises at least about 90 wt. % water, and the balance one or more glycols and/or lactams. The high water concentration is required in order to maintain optimum viscosity, surface tension, and fluidity properties. Examples of glycols suitably employed in the practice of the invention include glycols such as ethylene glycol, diethylene glycol, propylene glycol, polyethylene glycol, etc., and pyrrolidones, such as 2-pyrrolidone. Usually, the glycol is present in an amount up to about 10%, with the balance water. The pyrrolidone is usually present in an amount of about 7 to 10%, with the balance water.
Other additives may be added to the ink, such as biocides (fungicides, bactericides), pH adjusters and buffers, drying time improvers, and the like, as is well-known in the art. All amounts are in terms of weight percent, unless otherwise specified. Such additives and the materials comprising the vehicle and dye are of a purity commonly found in normal commercial practice.
The concentration of the insoluble dye typically ranges from about 0.5 to 9 wt. %, and preferably about 4 to 5 wt. %, which is usually sufficient to achieve the desired optical density. Specific dyes may require more or less than this amount, however.
The concentration of cyclodextrin depends on the selected concentration of the dye. The cyclodextrin concentration is preferably at least about twice that of the dye. The excess cyclodextrin concentration is necessary due to the fact that some dyes form 2:1 cyclodextrin:dye complexes.
Since the solubility of cyclodextrin in water is limited, it will be appreciated that there is an upper limit to the amount of dye that can be used. In this connection, the α- and γ- forms, which are comparatively more soluble than the β- form, are preferred.
In the preparation of the ink, the vehicle is first prepared, and then the predetermined amount of the desired cyclodextrin is added. The predetermined amount of dye is then added and the mixture is heated to an elevated temperature, preferably about 40� to 60� C. for about 6 to 60 hrs, to form the complex between the dye and the cyclodextrin.
The biocides useful in this invention may be any one or more of the biocides that are commonly used with inks for thermal jet printers, for example, Ucarcide, available from Union Carbide, Specialty Chemical Division (Charleston, W.Va.).
The inks of this invention evidence enhanced waterfastness. Preliminary results were obtained for an ink containing Neazopon X52 (black) dye complexed by β-cyclodextrin in a vehicle comprising 5.5% by weight of diethylene glycol, 1 to 4% Neazopon X52, and α- or β-cyclodextrin. The results included data from a dye transfer test, crusting, and smear resistance (both alkaline and acidic). The results are tabulated below:

In the foregoing Table, the dye transfer test was carried out as follows: equally spaced 3 mm solid ink fill bars were printed on paper with ink fired from a thermal ink-jet printer. Water was then dripped across the bars and allowed to dry. The optical density was then measured and reported as mOD. The larger the number, the poorer the waterfastness.
Crusting was tested as follows: dot patterns were fired periodically from a thermal ink-jet printer with the ink under investigation. The first occurrence of a misdirected dot was indicative of viscous crusting. The time required for this to occur was recorded as the crusting time. A higher value is indicative of lower crusting.
Smear was tested as follows: equally spaced 3 mm solid ink fill bars were printed on paper with the ink under investigation. An alkaline or acidic highlighter was smeared twice (2-pass) across the paper. The optical density of the white space between the bars was measured and reported as optical density. The larger the number, the poorer the smear.
It will be noted that the dye load is approximately half of what is required to develop a "good" black ink. Other parameters are at least similar to those of the experimental waterfast black ink and clearly better than those of the H-P black ink. As is evident from the Table, the cyclodextrin-based inks improve waterfastness by at least a factor of 2.
The ink formulations of the present invention can be used wherever aqueous inks are employed and there is need for a water-resistant print. They are, however, specifically designed to operate in a thermal ink-jet device, such as the DeskJet printer. DeskJet is a trademark of Hewlett-Packard Company.
Thus, there has been disclosed ink compositions evidencing improved waterfastness, employing water-insoluble dyes in an aqueous vehicle, using a cyclodextrin to complex the dye. Such inks evidence improved waterfastness on plain papers. It will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art that various changes and modifications of an obvious nature may be made without departing from the spirit of the invention. All such changes and modifications are considered to fall within the scope of the invention, as defined by the appended claims.

From the article.....................
For years many people felt that in order to create an EMP weapon, there might be some collateral damage involved from some form of an explosion used to create the pulse. However, this system does not make use of any explosive whatsoever, thereby resulting in zero collateral damage.
Boeing in partnership with the US Air Force Research Laboratories Directed Energy Directorate created the CHAMP weapons system, and successfully tested the system over the Utah desert on a military compound. The exact details on how the device was made will remain a secret, but we do know that it is transmitted from a missile-like device that flies over the intended target and directs its concentrated microwave energy.

Thanks, Gerry. Ok, I know I'm a bystander in this field, but I've got to question the date. There is SO much I wish I could tell you guys, but not here. Let's just say I know WAY more mil. pilots, past and present, than are legally allowable by law, AND have a couple of "certifiable" rocket scientists in the family, retired and new. I'm trying to decide how to say this. I think this date is "convenient". I don't think it's as new as stated in the article.
Texan Buckeye
All press releases like this are timed to create the most impact. It also takes some time before secret projects make their way through the system for public release. Nothing happens by accident. I'm sure there was a reason for releasing this information now, b
ut I don't think it has anything to do with Syria or possibly even the ME.
Hmmm, I'd also bet that the weapon is scalable - which begs the questions: who would we want to threaten and why given Syria and the chemical weapons problem? Russia? As Gerry has mentioned, we are putting someone on notice.
Per Gerry's thoughts which are quite brillant as always!
The one nation stopping intervention in Syria is Russia, perhaps an un-sophisticated group of leaders feels that raising the wmd card right now will convince Russia to back off and let the western nations do their thing. It may be working.
The other would be Iran. Get Iran to release her grip on Syria and or fear a loss of Syria and thus feeling boxed in, she would be more willing to cave in on nuclear negotiations!
My only reason to pause and still consider the WMD card real and dangerous is based on credible information provided over the past few months, though my eyes have not seen it first hand, some have and reported it and some are out there right now gathering new intelligence. We merely get fed stories and truth in a mix where it is difficult to determine what is accurate and what is actually just a ploy and we are merely following along.
I think I need a shower!

Tungsten in Aerospace
With approvals to supply Wolfmet tungsten to leading aircraft manufacturers; Wolfmet has long been recognised as a world-leading brand of tungsten for aerospace.
There are many areas in an aircraft where the precise placement of extra weight is required. Extra mass in the right location provides vibration damping for flight controls in the form of balance weights, static and dynamic balancing of rotor blades and propellers, and ballast when needed.
Wolfmet Tungsten Heavy Alloy is ideally suited to aircraft applications because it has very high density, which allows for the smallest possible weights. This attribute can be particularly valuable in situations where a large mass has to be contained in a confined space and can ultimately reduce the amount of weight used by where it is positioned.
Wolfmet is also a highly durable, long lasting material so it will withstand the harshest operating conditions. In addition, Wolfmet is non-toxic, unlike other high density materials that have been used in aerospace, such as depleted uranium and lead.
Wolfmet components include balance weights, ballast weights, blade weights, anti-flutter weights and bucking bars. For more specific information about Wolfmet components products for aerospace, please contact us today - firstname.lastname@example.com
Our Service
Due to very high safety standards the aerospace industry requires rigorous levels of traceability and quality control in all aspects of manufacturing and supply chain. Customers can be assured that we meet all the needs of this particular industry, by having excellent production facilities, which are fully accredited to ISO9001 and AS9100.
In addition, Wolfmet has over 40 years of experience producing high quality tungsten components; we have the expertise to machine these parts to very tight tolerances, meeting a broad range of customer requirements. Wolfmet alloy components can be produced in small runs of bespoke items, or large quantities for long production runs. Customers have the option to buy either finished components or raw tungsten blocks for final machining themselves.
Wolfmet highlights:
- High density; heavy weight in a smaller space
- Latest certification (AS9100 Rev C)
- Manufactured to AMS 7725E or ASTM B777-15 on request
- Full integration into customer supply chains
- Can machine to close tolerances
- Short lead-times for flight test ballast
- Wolfmet is manufactured in the UK, ensuring quality and security of supply
- Our 40+ years of experience in tungsten translates into peace of mind for you
For more information about Wolfmet or how we can help you with your project, please contact us via email@example.com or talk to us today by calling +44 (0)161 864 5454.

If it had accomplished nothing else, "Diabolique" would deserve our affection for two reasons: It contains the original of Peter Falk's TV character Columbo, and it inspired one of the funniest stories in screen history. Henri-Georges Clouzot's 1955 thriller, now re-released in a restored print, however, accomplishes much more, creating a diabolical double-reverse plot that keeps the audience guessing right up to the thoroughly implausible final scene.
The movie takes place in a French boys' boarding school run by a headmaster who makes life there as unpleasant for the teachers as for the boys. Michael Delasalle (Paul Meurisse) is a sadist and a pinchpenny who serves the students rotten fish and slaps around his wife Christina (Vera Clouzot), even though the school really belongs to her.
The boys hate him and the teachers seem to despise him, especially the strapping Nicole (Simone Signoret), who has until recently been his mistress. As the movie opens, Nicole is pressing ahead with a plan she has already explained to Christina. It's an elaborate scheme in which they will visit Nicole's home in a distant village, lure Michael there, drown him in a bathtub, and secretly return to the school to dump the swine in the swimming pool, where he will seem to be a suicide or accident victim.
This is not the plot. It is merely the set-up, and the plot proper begins after the body apparently disappears from the pool and Michael's suit is returned from the cleaners. Are the women going mad? Can they trust the evidence of their eyes and ears - or believe their clear memory of Michael's dead body staring goggle-eyed at them from beneath the water in the bathtub? "Please do not reveal the ending to those who have not yet seen the film!" Clouzot pleads with his final frame. I would not dream of it. But I will observe that the ending would not have happened quite the way it does without the passive cooperation of Inspector Fichet (Charles Vanel), who has apparently figured everything out and is well-placed to prevent the final outcome, but waits too long.
Of course he isn't exactly swift on his feet. He shuffles onto the scene in a rumpled old raincoat, chewing on a cigar and asking apparently aimless questions. His favorite technique is to repeat a question, pretending that he hasn't heard the answer, although it's quite clear that what he hopes to do is trap a suspect in a contradiction. In appearance, mannerism and strategy, Fichet is Columbo; Falk added a squint, a dirtier raincoat and more humor.
The famous plot of the movie usually deceives first-time viewers, at least up to a point. The final revelations are somewhat disappointing, but Clouzot doesn't linger over them. The most disturbing elements of the movie are implied, not seen, in the seedy air of the teachers, all of whom have seen better days and at least one of whom should probably be in jail.
The movie was made by Signoret in her heyday as a fleshier, blowsier French version of Marilyn Monroe. She makes a dramatic contrast to the petite Vera Clouzot, the director's wife; he often frames little Christina with Nicole and Michael looming over her.
There is the possibility, just hinted at, that Nicole may have lesbian designs on Christina. And there is a shabby depravity in the way Christina is so defeated by her husband that she lets him continue to run her school (and abuse her) even after he starts an open affair with the Signoret character.
The movie has fun with the usual whodunit details: The split-second timetables, and the sleepy old guard who must open the gates to let anyone in or out of the school grounds. The Inspector also amuses himself reconstructing timetables and quizzing a small student who seems to see and hear impossible things. Then comes the ending, inspired by "Gaslight," in which a woman is either going mad, or nothing is as it seems. "Diabolique" is so well constructed that even today it works on its intended level - up until, say, the last 30 seconds.
The famous story: A man wrote to Alfred Hitchcock: "Sir, After seeing 'Diabolique,' my daughter was afraid to take a bath. Now she has seen your 'Psycho' and is afraid to take a shower. What should I do with her?" Hitchcock replied: "Send her to the dry cleaners."
This movie is trying to kill these women, but they endure.

From CHiPs Online:
When Kathy knocks on the woman's door looking for information on the drug dealer, she introduces Bruce as "Officer Nelson". Not yet, Kathy! He's still Cadet Nelson.
Ponch looks through binoculars at the guys breaking into cars. We see a typical binocular gobo. Anyone who has ever looked through a pair of binoculars knows that you see everything in a circle, not in that binocular view!
Keith Mitchell (Roland) is now known as Keith Coogan. He is the grandson of actor Jackie Coogan, a child actor discovered by Charlie Chaplin. In the 1930s he sued his mother and stepfather for the earnings he made as a child. By law he had no claim to it and was awarded only $126,000 of the $4 million he actually earned. It is he for whom the the Coogan Act (California's Child Actor's Bill) is named. The Coogan Act protects the earnings of child actors. Jackie Coogan is probably best remembered as playing Uncle Festus on The Addams Family.
Erik Estrada (Ponch) and Kathy Shower (Cindy) were briefly engaged in 1983.

Five Very Bad Father's Day Gifts
Father's Day: What are you gonna do?
You are forced by the powers that be to get something, unless your Dad has passed on to his reward. And if you're a Dad yourself, then you have to resign yourself to books from that one author someone saw on your shelf (never mind that you hated that book), tools from people who don't know one-tenth about tools as you, or a gag T-shirt that's funny for about two seconds and will never be worn. (We refuse to believe anyone still gives ties, except ironically, and lots of luck with that.)
A lot of bad Father's Day gifts out there to be given. Here are five.
5. A vibrator A no-brainer, we would think, but this ad haunts our dreams. Why the hell does the guy react like he does at the end? We refuse to believe one interpretation, which is that 'Yay, we got three vibrators" gets such a happy reaction because the woman has, ummm, only two orifices where a vibrator could conceivably be used, meaning there's one left for the man of the house.
Definitely skimmable

4. A Tom Clancy book Two mistakes you can make here -- one, the most prevalent, is that you buy a book with "By Tom Clancy" in huge letters and "With John Doe" (or whatever) in much smaller letters. That means you're getting mass-produced hack drivel.
The second mistake would be to actually buy a new Tom Clancy no-co-author novel. Clancy used to turn out taut, entertaining thrillers, but somewhere along the line he got too big to be edited. So now he writes 300 pages of a taut, entertaining thriller and he wraps it in a 600-page bloated whale of rightwing claptrap. There's nothing like having all the action come to a complete standstill just so some character can deliver a multi-page Rush Limbaugh monologue. It's like Atlas Shrugged with high-tech killer gear.
3. A Band of Brothers box set If you were to believe the ads, there's nothing Dad likes more than a World War II documentary or movie. The John Wayne Classic collection, the History Channel 80-minute montage of Stukas swooping into a divebomb, the definitive multi-DVD anthology of propeller aircraft crashing on aircraft carrier flight decks: It's what every Dad craves. And when its's the Spielberg-Hanks factory pumping out the maudlin, you can't go wrong. Right?
2. Astros tickets Wow, seed of my loins, you got me a multi-game dirt-cheap mini-game package of the `Stros taking on the Pirates, Padres and the Nationals. Yeah, thanks.
1. Born This Way You get points for not giving the Dean Martin collection. But you have chosen....unwisely.
