SCT's lively and spirited 'Prince Brat' is an ideal holiday offering
by Deborah Stone
Currently on stage at the Seattle Children's Theatre is the world premiere musical "Prince Brat and the Whipping Boy," based on the Newbery Award-winning book, "The Whipping Boy," by Sid Fleischman.
This lively, spirited show, directed by Linda Hartzell, follows the adventures and unlikely friendship that develops between Prince Horace (Jeff Cummings), otherwise known as Prince Brat, and Jemmy (Jason Collins), a boy from the streets who is brought to the castle to take the prince's punishments for him.
The two boys, who dislike one another immensely, escape from the palace, each with his own motivations for seeking freedom.
They follow a winding, twisting road, full of adventures and encounters with a host of colorful characters, such as the infamous highwaymen Hold-Your-Nose-Billy (Jeff Steitzer) and Cutwater (Jayne Muirhead), Petunia, the dancing bear (Thomas Arthur Grant), kind Betsy, Petunia's trainer (Colleen Raney) and Nips, the hot potato man (David Silverman).
The pair is pursued on one side by the highwaymen, who want to ransom the Prince, and by the King's guards, on the other side.
"Prince Brat" is a comedy of errors, full of mistaken identities, role reversals and plenty of slapstick to keep young children entertained.
Author Sid Fleischman adapted his book for the stage and wrote the lyrics for the entertaining songs that Music Director John Engerman arranged.
Each engaging song connects to and further defines a character, as well as his/her connections with the other characters in the show.
The production has a live keyboardist performing in full view of the actors and audience and the music is played acoustically using harpsichord, organ and accordion sounds to simulate the old England time period.
The cast is full of energy as they sing and dance their way through this rollicking and lively musical.
"Prince Brat and the Whipping Boy" runs through Jan. 13 in the Charlotte Martin Theatre at Seattle Center. For ticket information call (206) 441-3322.

Sony pics take big bite out of weekend box office
Sony knocked out its competition this weekend with a one-two punch as "Zombieland" took $25 million at 3,036 and 3D toon "Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs" dropped to the second spot in its third frame with $16.7 million at 2,977 playdates.
Disney's 3D double-bill release of "Toy Story" and "Toy Story 2" was third at the B.O. with $12.5 million at 1,745.
At $7.4 million, Warner Bros. comedy "The Invention of Lying," starring Ricky Gervais, narrowly inched out the second week of Disney's "Surrogates," which grossed $7.3 million. Drew Barrymore's directing debut "Whip It" disappointed with $4.85 million, tying with Michael Moore's "Capitalism: A Love Story."
Overseas, Sony was again strong as "The Ugly Truth" topped the box office at $12.1 million.
Back at home, the frame saw more adult-oriented pics jumping into the awards season pool after Jane Campion's "Bright Star" tested the waters last week.
The Coen brothers' "A Serious Man" saw the weekend's top per-screen average with $41,918, earning $251,510 at an initial six locations. Their Oscar best picture winner "No Country for Old Men" opened to $1.2 million at 28 with a per-screen average of $43,798 in 2007.
Sony distrib chief Rory Bruer credited "Zombieland's" comedic aspects, especially from stars Woody Harrelson and Jesse Eisenberg, as the driving force among its younger aud.
The zombie comedy drew a weekend per-screen average of $8,235, with 58% of its aud under 25.
With a budget in the $25 million range, pic took in $9.5 million Friday, slipped to $9.3 million Saturday and grossed an estimated $6.2 million Sunday.
Combined with an $82.4 million cume for "Meatballs," Sony was able to match Warner Bros. as the only studios to surpass $1 billion in North America for the eighth consecutive year.
In addition to the weekend's top earners, Sony boasts four other pics that have launched at No. 1 this year: "Angels and Demons" ($46.2 million), "District 9" ($37.4 million), "Paul Blart: Mall Cop" ($31.8 million) and "Obsessed" ($28.6 million).
"Meatballs" declined only 33% after holding the frame's top spot for two consecutive weeks.
Pic outperformed Disney's 3D reissue of the "Toy Story" double bill, whose aud was almost evenly split between auds 18 and under and over 18 and between males and females.
"The Invention of Lying" exceeded studio expectations with $7.4 million at 1,707, while "Surrogates" declined 51% in its soph sesh for a $7.3 million gross and cume of $26.4 million.
Perf of Fox Searchlight's roller derby pic "Whip It" was underwhelming after last weekend's successful sneaks. Despite a wide release, studio described the launch as a platform build and hopes word of mouth will propel the pic higher in next weekend's frame.
Moore's docu "Capitalism: A Love Story" expanded from four to 962, the biggest initial expansion for him. "Capitalism" falls behind "Fahrenheit 9/11," which opened with $23.9 million at 868 in 2004, and finished just ahead of 2007's "Sicko" with $4.5 million at only 628 playdates in its first wide weekend.
Scary movie "Paranormal Activity" put up impressive numbers in its soph sesh, following "Serious" as the second-highest per-screen grosser with $16,000 at 33. Pic, which screened only during midnight showings, bested its per-screen average last weekend of $6,489 at 12 playdates.
Originally designated as an extra on a DVD release for a bigger-budgeted remake, "Paranormal" found its way to the bigscreen after a two-year delay, with Paramount trying midnight screenings to build interest. Par plans to expand the pic to daytime screenings Friday, adding 10 engagements.
MGM's reboot of the 1980 tuner "Fame" saw a 53% decline in its second weekend with $4.8 million at 3,133, while WB's Matt Damon starrer "The Informant" topped out in its third frame with $3.8 million at 2,425.
Overture saw modest numbers for "Pandorum," which entered its second frame at 2,506, grossing $1.9 million — a 57% decline from its opening $4.4 million.
On the specialty front, Sony Pictures Classics' biopic "Coco Before Chanel" drew strong numbers with $220,139 in limited release, bringing the pic's cume to $487,442. Apparition's Campion pic "Bright Star" held well in top markets, including L.A., New York and Washington, D.C., with $723,856 at 317 engagements. Pic has cumed $1.9 million domestically.
Lionsgate saw a strong performance from its launch of "More Than a Game," about NBA star LeBron James. Docu grossed $196,681 at 14 playdates; per-screen average was $14,048.
Sony added success on the foreign front to its domestic prowess.
Sony's "The Ugly Truth" won markets including Austria, Switzerland, Taiwan and Hungary as it cumed $12.1 million in 54 markets.
Disney's "Surrogates" added 10 territories to its roster, bringing its total to 24 with $11.4 million, while "Up" followed close behind with $10.6 million in 27 territories.
Sony's "Meatballs" matched solid domestic earnings with a strong overseas performance of $7.1 million in 31 markets, including Brazil, Colombia and Israel. Pic's third U.K. sesh added $1.9 million on 611 screens, bringing its territory cume to $7.9 million.
"Inglourious Basterds" launched in Italy with $3 million at 331, pushing the pic's estimated international gross near $8.6 million in 45 territories. "Basterds" has cumed $258.5 million worldwide.
"Lying" opened date and date in the U.K. with an estimated $2.9 million at 367, topping earlier Gervais pic "Ghost Town."

BELLEFONTE - The emotion of the Jerry Sandusky child-abuse case spilled from the courtroom Friday to the spacious grounds outside the Centre County Courthouse with Sandusky himself defending his requests to have visits with his grandchildren and permission to take his dog into his backyard.
Sandusky's six children favor visits with the retired Penn State assistant football coach, but the ex-wife of Sandusky's son, Matt, Jill Jones, opposes the visits.
Sandusky is out on bail on house arrest, and he is not permitted visitors.

Former Penn?State assistant coach Jerry Sandusky, charged with sexually abusing young boys, says the only thing his grandchildren want for their birthdays is to see him. Sandusky is out on bail on house arrest, and he is not permitted visitors.
He also wants to be allowed to take his dog onto the back deck of his home on Lower Grandview Drive near State College, but neighbors and others said the sight of Sandusky frightens the children who live in the area and who attend the Lemont Elementary School, which borders the Sandusky property.
Sandusky said his wife, Dottie, comes home from visiting the grandchildren and the kids say all they want for their birthdays is visiting with him.
"I am sensitive to that," he said.
Sandusky spoke as he stood at a podium outside the courthouse after a 90-minute pretrial hearing.
"My home has been open for 27 years to all kinds of people. Hundreds of people have stayed there. I have communicated with thousands of young people over the years," he said.
He said the people who have turned on him and complained about his trips to the back deck are people who in the past visited his home with their children, attended parties there, brought their kids to ride sleds in his backyard and walked through his yard on the way to school.
He and his attorney, Joe Amendola, said he is not a danger to the children or the neighborhood.
Standing just inside the courthouse door was a young mother, Amy Lloyd, who took issue with Sandusky.
Lloyd's 7-year-old daughter attends an after-school program at the Lemont Elementary School.
She said her daughter is very concerned for her own safety because she often sees Sandusky from the school.
She knows about Sandusky. The 52 child sexual abuse charges against him have been explained to her in terms the child understands, Lloyd said.
Lloyd is one of the people who have complained about Sandusky's sojourns out of his house.
"I understand he has rights," she said.
But his rights end where the children's rights begin, she said.
The children, said Lloyd, "need to feel comfortable and safe so they can learn."
During the hearing before Senior Judge John Cleland of McKean County, Attorney General Agent Anthony Sassano said a Sandusky neighbor, Paul Kletchka, was also concerned about Sandusky's outdoor appearances.
He said Kletchka feared for Sandusky's safety, the safety of his children and the neighborhood children.
Kristy Williams who supervises as many as 36 children in the Lemont after-school program told Sassano that the children know that Sandusky is looking in their direction and it disrupts the classroom.
Cleland was asked by prosecutors Jonelle Eshbach and Joseph McGettigan, to bar Sandusky from taking his dog onto his back deck.
The judge was presented videos of Sandusky outside his home. They will be reviewed by Cleland.
The hearing involved a series of issues, from a prosecution request for an out-of-county jury to requests for discovery.
Cleland said he will quickly rule on the issues because the case is scheduled to trial by May 14.
That trial date may not be realistic in view of all the information that must be reviewed by the defense, but Amendola concluded, "If the judge says it, it is reality."
Amendola said he would like to see the judge push the trial date back a little bit. Deputy Attorney General Mark Costanza said the trial could be held in May or June.
McGettigan asked that the jury come from outside Centre County.
Stating he wanted a fair trial for both sides, McGettigan speculated that a third of the 150,000 people in Centre County are either students or faculty members of Penn State, where Sandusky worked for 33 years and has many connections.
He said other county residents had a connection to The Second Mile, the organization Sandusky founded.
Many prospective jurors also would know people who attend Penn State, the veteran prosecutor stated.
The people also know the places that will be discussed in the testimony, and many may even know Sandusky's alleged victims who are to testify, McGettigan argued.
In an unusual move, the judge asked Sandusky to take the witness stand - his first appearance under oath.
Sandusky, expressing himself with a nervous laugh at times, said it was "correct" that he wanted the jury selected from Centre County.
The key question was if he knew he was giving up his right to protest the issue. If for instance, he goes to trial and is found guilty he will not be able to request a new trial based on fact the jury came from Centre County, Cleland explained.
He said he understood the judge's explanation.
Sandusky was then asked if he was taking medication. He said he was, but he told the judge he took only the recommended dosage and that it did not undermine his ability to understand the discussion about the jury-selection process.
Amendola, speaking outside the courthouse, said there have been no plea discussions.
He said Sandusky has proclaimed his innocence since the beginning and he concluded there is no reason for people to "live in fear" of Sandusky.

John Ashmead Jr., 74, an inspired and inspiring professor of English and film at Haverford College for 41 years and a lecturer who could charm audiences from Shipley School to Osaka, Japan, died Friday at Bryn Mawr Hospital.
A very busy and successful scholar, Dr. Ashmead wrote two novels, won three Fulbrights to teach in Greece, Japan and India, developed computer programs to analyze poetry and made - and played - his own harpsichords and other instruments.
Yet he was proudest, perhaps, of having been in a small way responsible for the death of the man who planned the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor, Adm. Isoroku Yamamoto.

Double Stroller Equals Double Trouble?Monica Bielanko
I'm in the dark when it comes to what kind of double stroller to purchase. Google "best double stroller," and a plethora of colorful (and pricey!) options stretch before you.
In the limited research I've done so far, I've come to the conclusion that the Chicco Cortina Together double stroller is the one I should buy.
But picking that one was the result of a fumbling Internet search resembling something kind of like playing Pin The Tail On The Donkey. I'm just scrabbling around blindly here, folks. And 270 bucks?! I bought my first car for less than that. 200 bucks, to be exact, and it drove like a dream. Too bad my stupid older brother wrecked it before I even turned sixteen.
But back to double strollers: HELP!
I'm pretty sure I don't want the double wide option. I guess the fancy lingo is a side-by-side stroller? I mean, how does anyone get around with those things? What's the benefit there? I guess they're for twins? So one doesn't feel more important than the other? There's got to be an alarming study somewhere that suggests if your twins aren't placed in a side-by-side stroller from birth their SAT scores will be significantly lower than the twins of those parents who responsibly purchased a side-by-side for their very well-adjusted twins. Or something like that.
I'm in the market for something that keeps a 2-year-old strapped down while also safely carrying a newborn. I want a tandem, I think. There's a whole terminology here that I need to learn, apparently. So. A tandem? After that, I'm lost.
The only reason I dialed in on the Chicco is because it accommodates a KeyFit 30 Infant Car Seat which we already own. Also? The other Chicco option is called the Chicco Romantic Double Stroller and I don't think the word romantic should play any part in strollers, so I am officially boycotting that one. I mean, seriously. Romantic? Girl, please.
With the whole corresponding car seat thing I figure I can just pull KID B from the back seat of the car and place him directly into the stroller. But all the strollers I see have both seats facing outward. You want the toddler front-facing, right, but don't you want your newborn facing you?
What should I be looking for? I'm willing to spend some dough for a good stroller but I don't want a newfangled contraption that takes two years and ten hands to set up. And what if I want to hit the streets for some exercise? Are these strollers meant for indoors and outdoors, or do I need a whole other double jogging stroller?
What don't I know? What am I missing?
Of note: Babble recently compiled Babble Best 2010 Double Strollers that you may be interested in.

Operating rooms (ORs) generate as much as a third of all hospital waste. An analysis of 65 studies has uncovered practical ways to reduce waste and costs in the OR. Biohazard waste requires high-energy processing or costly disposal, yet as much as 85% of waste tossed into biohazard containers is nonhazardous; careful sorting reduced by half the amount of biohazard waste and saved $89,000 at one Pennsylvania hospital. Switching from single-use to reusable gowns and linens reduced another medical center's waste by 138,748 lbs. and saved $38,000 in hauling costs. The blue sterile wrap that covers surgical instruments makes up 19% of OR solid waste, and a Massachusetts hospital decreased its solid waste by 5,606 lbs. and saved the facility $29,843 by switching to reusable metal cases. These examples show that green OR practices "are easily implemented, require low capital investment, have a short payback period, and can generate substantial cost savings," write the authors in a report published online June 11 in the Canadian Medical Association Journal.

The Faint Sky Variability Survey is a large (23 sq. deg.), deep field (V=17-24 mags), optical (BVI), photometric (0.005-0.1 mags), and proper motion (30''/yr) survey using the Wide-Field Camera at the Isaac Newton Telescope on La Palma. Time-sampled observations span 10's of minutes to years and provide a unique database for studies of faint population classes (e.g. Kuiper Belt objects, cataclysmic variables, pulsating stars, very low-mass dwarfs, and AGN). Here we present a study of general variability as a function of the time-sampling (nightly, weekly, yearly), magnitude (V), and color (B-V, V-I) for more than 80,000 point sources detected. The fraction of variable sources overall is found to be approximately constant at a few percent for the majority of the magnitude range. The implications of our results, with comparison to other variability surveys, will be discussed.

There are various Best practices suggested to re-submit the failed messages in B2B. Following is one approach.
1. Outbound Flow
The exception handling and resubmission mechanism can be split it into three different activities.
I. Get the Exception Message details: Query IP_IN_QUEUE using consumer name as B2BERRORUSER.
II. Get the Business message details: Query the b2b_instancemessage view for a specific b2bmessageID for which exception occurred.
III. Resubmit the Business message to IP_OUT_QUEUE with appropriate AQ header information such as From, To, Doc Type, Revision etc.
For any Error/Exception during outbound message processing, B2B sends an exception message whose Document type is "Exception" to the IP_IN_QUQUE with error user as B2BERRORUSER. The exception message enqueued will be based on the ipException.xsd available in the $midtier/ip/lib.

Warning: If you aren't in the mood for a long-winded rant, you might want to skip this post. Being labelled as a member of a "sick and twisted cult" made it hard for me to hold back.
I ran across this article about a month ago and starting drafting a lengthy comment, but realized that it would quickly be lost and buried among the other 4000+ comments on the site, so I shelved it for a new blog post.
Simon Doonan might just give Lisa Khoury a run for her money when it comes to insulting tattoo articles. His latest opens with a brief story about a recent trip to Florida where he felt like the only person on the beach without tattoos. Rather than stating this in simple terms, he crafted the following statement:
I am the only personage on the beach whose epidermis is unadorned with tattoos. Everyone is inked up except moi."
I'm not sure if he is going for humor here, but everything about this statement comes off as smug and condescending to me and sets the tone for the rest of the article. The use of the word personage alone was enough to give me pause, but he is obviously trying hard to sound sophisticated and witty. I guess I can forgive him for mistakenly thinking tattoo ink is applied to the epidermis, but the rest of the statement is extremely annoying. [Read more…]

Watch stocks you care about
The single, easiest way to keep track of all the stocks that matter...
Your own personalized stock watchlist!
It's a 100% FREE Motley Fool service...
Earnings season is now starting to wind down, with most companies already having reported their quarterly results. But there are still some companies left to report, and Assured Guaranty (NYSE: AGO ) is about to release its quarterly earnings. The key to making smart investment decisions with stocks releasing their quarterly reports is to anticipate how they'll do before they announce results, leaving you fully prepared to respond quickly to whatever inevitable surprises arise. That way, you'll be less likely to make an uninformed knee-jerk reaction to news that turns out to be exactly the wrong move.
Mortgage and municipal bond insurance were two of the hardest-hit industries during the financial crisis, and with exposure to both, Assured Guaranty felt the impact especially strongly. Yet conditions have improved immensely in the industry, paving the way to big gains even as the company has retrenched its business. Let's take an early look at what's been happening with Assured Guaranty over the past quarter and what we're likely to see in its quarterly report on Wednesday.
Stats on Assured Guaranty
Analyst EPS Estimate
Change From Year-Ago EPS
Revenue Estimate
$198.3 million
Change From Year-Ago Revenue
Earnings Beats in Past 4 Quarters
Will Assured Guaranty insure success for investors?
Analysts have cut back on their estimates for the just-ended quarter, shaving $0.03 per share in the past couple of months. But their calls for full-year 2013 have stayed stable, and the stock has responded very favorably, with gains of more than 35% since mid-November.
Assured Guaranty has been a survivor in the financial insurance business. Even as Ambac Financial had to declare bankruptcy and other rivals suffered their own near-death experiences, Assured Guaranty has recovered much of the ground it lost during the financial crisis. That has put it in a position to aim for future growth, with its purchase of Radian Group's (NYSE: RDN ) municipal-bond insurance business early last year being one example of Assured Guaranty playing for the long run.
But Assured Guaranty has also seen some recent good news, having won a huge case earlier this month that will have wide-ranging implications throughout the industry. The company sued Flagstar Bancorp (NYSE: FBC ) over alleged misrepresentations of Flagstar loans used to create mortgage-backed securities that Assured Guaranty insured. A positive ruling led to a $90 million award for Assured Guaranty. That's obviously good news for the company, but it means even more for fellow insurer MBIA (NYSE: MBI ) , which now hopes to win its own much-larger lawsuit against Bank of America (NYSE: BAC ) over similar allegations. B of A already settled its own dispute with Assured Guaranty last year.
In its earnings report, watch closely for Assured Guaranty's plans to take advantage of steadily improving conditions in the housing industry. With its recent 11% dividend boost, the company is clearly optimistic about its future, and Assured Guaranty looks like the high-quality player in an industry that's rebounding.

Skip to comments.'Happy Days' dad Tom Bosley dead at 83
Posted on 10/19/2010 11:12:47 AM PDT by Free ThinkerNY
LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Tom Bosley, who protrayed the patient, understanding father on television's long-running "Happy Days," has died. He was 83.
Bosley's agent, Sheryl Abrams, says Bosley died of heart failure at 4 a.m. Tuesday.
(Excerpt) Read more at hosted.ap.org ...
First the Beavs mom, now Richies dad. Sigh.
He was my favorite fake dad. My parents were divorced, and in a way, he helped raise me.
Prayers for them both. They will be missed.
That's very cool! (I like Mr. Rogers myself, for similar reasons.)
I just can't help but feel as these icons die..............it is time for us to step up.
Rest in peace, Mr. C.
People Magazine reports that he had a staph infection.
Tom Bosley was a total class act. My favorite TV dad.
I used to enjoy the Father Dowling Mysteries. The Nelson daughter was in it. R.I.P. That is 2.
Tom Bosley!!!!!
She passed away over the weekend.
It's so weird, the other night I was watching Kolchak- the Night Stalker on netflix and he was in the one with the lizard eggs. I'm not going to even try and explain it, you'll just have to watch it. lol Anyway, Tom was the clerk or whatever and I was wondering if he was still around but never got around to looking him up. Now I know.
I always loved the trash bag commercials in the 80's when I was a little kid (giving my age away here...)
Very sad, he had a great voice...very soothing, like he could never get mad.lol RIP Tom, I'm gonna miss you, buddy! <3
Good choice! You could have picked Al Bundy. :-D
So long, Mr. C.
Awww. I really liked this guy, too. He was just awesome on Happy Days.
RIP, Tom :(
That's two major TV parents in just a few days.
Probably because David Doyle, who looked a little bit like Tom Bosley, played Charlie Townsend's assistant, John Bosley, on "Charlie's Angels".
Another legend gone. Loved Tom Bosley...RIP sir...you will be missed. Job well done.
He's buried with the Flintstones' cat and the Brady's dog, Tiger.
:D Yes, it is one of my all time faves. My cat thinks it's me whistling at the beginning and always runs in to watch it with me. lol

Afghan woman beheaded for refusing prostitution
- From: AFP
- October 18, 2012
AFGHAN police have arrested four people who allegedly tried to force a woman into prostitution in western Afghanistan and beheaded her when she refused, officials say.
Mah Gul, 20, was beheaded after her mother-in-law attempted to make her sleep with a man in her house in Herat province last week, provincial police chief Abdul Ghafar Sayedzada told AFP.
"We have arrested her mother-in-law, father-in-law, her husband and the man who killed her," he said.
Gul was married to her husband four months ago and her mother-in-law had tried to force her into prostitution several times in the past, Mr Sayedzada said.
The suspect, Najibullah, was paraded by police at a press conference where he said the mother-in-law lured him into killing Gul by telling him that she was a prostitute.
"It was around 2:00 am when Gul's husband left for his bakery. I came down and with the help of her mother-in-law killed her with a knife," he said.
The murder comes against a backdrop of a world outcry over the shooting by Taliban Islamists of a 14-year-old Pakistani girl, Malala Yousafzai, who had become a voice against the suppression of women's rights.
While Yousafzai's case has made world headlines, people using social media in Afghanistan have made the point that oppression and violence against women are commonplace in Afghanistan.
Abdul Qader Rahimi, the regional director of the government-backed human rights commission in western Afghanistan, said violence against women had dramatically increased in the region recently.
"There is no doubt violence against women has increased. So far this year we have registered 100 cases of violence against women in the western region," he said, adding that many cases go unreported.
"But at least in Gul's case, we are glad the murderer has been arrested and brought to justice," he said.
Last year, in a case that made international headlines, police rescued a teenage girl, Sahar Gul, who was beaten and locked up in a toilet for five months after she defied her in-laws who tried to force her into prostitution.

Excuse me, but what does it matter if it was a woman or a man ? Surely in life and death we should be equal.
phugly1 Posted at 4:47 PM October 18, 2012
hey julia, does this rate as a mysogonistic event? disgracefull event, again, in a country filled with peace loving muslim's, unless you are female??
Richard Posted at 3:57 PM October 18, 2012
What a barbaric and hypocritical country. People are murdered for wanting education and refusing prostitution while killers run free and profess to be religious.

Still Alive, somewhat
I can't wait for Crysis 3
That is all :-)

Still Alive, somewhat
I can't wait for Crysis 3
That is all :-)
I saw your blog go up and I was all like "no way!" Good to hear from you again.
Good to hear from you again, well half of you. lol
Glad to see some of my old pals still going strong! I have been so busy lately, and those who are on my Xbox Live friend's list have probably noticed that I am barely on anymore. I don't really play games that much. But I still love reading gaming news and posting at forums though.
You taking a break from gaming or is the real world keeping you busy?
You're not quitting forever are you? That would be a shame. You're pretty good at Street Fighter.
If you ever want to get rid of your gaming stuff (for free), I can pm you my address.
I have been hopping back and forth between here and Europe for work, and meeting old family. And I just got engaged. So I have all that stuf to worry about.
I still try to game if I feel motivated, but I haven't found a lot of games to maintain my interests as much. SFIV is probably the only game I still play much, but I suck at that game now.
I will be moving after I get married though, whenever that will be. So I might unload some gaming stuff in the process (mainly, my arcade sticks). I'll let you know :-)
Wait a second, I thought you were just an urban myth.
I just came back myself to join in on BaD, though I'm only blogging once a week instead of the Monday-Friday. I'm going to try and stick around and blog once a month though, or at least try to. Sorry life is keeping you so busy...I know the feeling though. Europe, huh? Got room in your suitcase for an old friend? :)
Love and miss you!!! *HUG*
That happened to me too, just not a lot time to game and blog anymore.
Nice to hear you're alive!
I can tell myself I'm alive all I want but I'm not 100% convinced it's true.
When I run out of gaming time I cut back on sleep, food, breathing, stuffs... =p

If something you are watching on television (or in a movie) makes you laugh out loud, that is special.
For the past couple of weeks I have been watching, and thoroughly enjoying, the first four of the five seasons of "In Living Color," the sketch comedy show that ran from April 15, 1990 to May 19, 1994 on the Fox Network.
I say "the first four" because the fifth season was a dud due to the fact that the people responsible for the show's existence and who played such key roles in making it all work, Keenen Ivory Wayans, Damon Wayans, Kim Wayans, etc. — from the first family of comedy — had left and the void was "unfillable."
Younger brothers Shawn and Marlon had also been part of the fun, and later had a hit TV show of their own. They also starred in movies.
Keenen Ivory Wayans and Damon Wayans created "In Living Color," produced by Ivory Way Productions in associaion with 20th Century Fox Television, and wrote for it and were among its stars.
Granted, this was not the first ensemble comedy sketch show. There had been, for example, the great, highly influential and equally groundbreaking — and still funny — "Laugh In" in the 1960s.
But in keeping with this being in another time and place, "In Living Color" was different. It had an urban flavor — even though the cast was not 100 percent Black — and there was the belief that more was possible than had been done on television previously.
And we can't forget the show's hip-hop elements. Heavy D & the Boyz were the perfect choice to rap the intro in seasons one and two.
Not since "Laugh In" had one show introduced so many performers who became major stars, including Keenen Ivory Wayans, Jim Carrey, Damon Wayans, Jamie Foxx (an Academy Award winner for "Ray"), Tommy Davidson, Kim Wayans, David Alan Grier and Kim Coles.
Others were just as outstanding and should have become bigger stars, such as T'Keyah Crystal Keymah and Kelly Coffield.
Jennifer Lopez is a magastar today, not to mention an "Amerian Idol" judge, but back in those days, starting with the third season, she was one of the fast-stepping "Fly Girl" dancers.
The "In Living Color" sketches and characters were priceless.
Who could ever forgetKeenen Ivory Wayans as Arsenio Hall, Mike Tyson or Billy Dee Williams? Jamie Foxx as the unattractive but full of confidence Wanda? (And the very talented Tommy Davidson was the perfect "victim.")
Jim Carrey and Damon Wayans as corrupt preachers Rev. Dr. Carl Pathos and Rev. Ed Cash? David Alan Grier as Calhoun Tubbs, the old blues singer who insulted people in his songs? Kelly Coffield as Andrea Dice Clay, a "feminized" send-up of foul-mouthed comedian Andrew Dice Clay?
Damon Wayans and David Alan Grier as Blaine Edwards and Antoine Merriweather, the over-the-top effeminate, and naughty, arts critics? Kim Wayans as the well-meaning but often unsanitary waitress? Jim Carrey as the steroid-addicted female bodybuilter Vera de Milo?
Keenen Ivory Wayans as the obnoxious but fun-loving, Jheri curl-wearing Frenchie, wearing clothes as outdated as the dances he liked to do? Damon Wayans as Anton Jackson, the filty, potty-mouthed drunk, homeless man? Kim Coles as Downtown Julie Brown?
T'Keyah Crystal Keymah as the stereotypical, rude tour guide LaShawn? Kim Wayans as the gossipy Benita Buttrell? ("I'm not one to gossip so you didn't get it from me.") Kim Wayans and David Alan Grier as Mr. and Mrs. Brooks, the old couple who were "still together" after many years but were always insulting, and trying to kill, each other?
Damon Wayans, Kim Coles, T'Keyah Crystal Keymah and Tommy Davidson as the hard-working Jamaican Headley family? Kelly Coffied as Magenta Thompson, th acting school teacher who got insulted and slapped around in every scene? Or Damon Wayans as the mean Homey the Clown, who was working as a clown as part of his work release program?
"In Living Color" also featured an array of popular recording artists of the day, including En Vogue, Jodeci, Kris Kross, MC Lyte, Mary J. Blige, Public Enemy and Arrested Development.
Not surprisingly, "In Living Color" ran into a lot of problems with the censors.
The series is available on home video and has been in syndication via various sources.

July 1 Report from Chip Wasson at the 2011 Kite Course Racing World Championships
Here in Sylt, July 1st came in with a bang in the kiteboard racing department at the 2011 World Championships. I don't know about the other riders out there but today offered up some of the most challenging racing conditions I have ever competed in! 6-8 foot breaking waves and swell that was all over the place accompanied a 30+ knot breeze. In these conditions the race committee could not even anchor their start boats which motored in place all day long always in fear of getting rolled.Read More »
Day 3 Report from Johnny Heineken at the 2011 Kite Course Racing World Championships
Yesterday we had 3 more races in really nasty conditions. A lot of the game was finding the weather mark which was a small yellow cone in head high chop. The first race I started conservatively on starboard near the pin (favored). Andy crushed the port tack start, crossing with about 10 other guys. From there I rounded behind Sky, Damo, and Julien, passing them all on the downwind leg.Read More »
Day 1 Report from Johnny Heineken at the 2011 Kite Course Racing World Championships
Six of the top seven are Americans and almost all of the Mike's Lab boards are in the top 10...pretty cool. Today the wind was kind of backwards from normal. It started side-off and really puffy and the kite call was super hard to make because figuring out how windy it was out there was next to impossible.Read More »

Introducing Our Wisdom from Mom Bloggers Facebook Page!strollerderby
Back in January we launched a monthly feature at Babble called Wisdom from Mom Bloggers, where we asked the fab bloggers who made our 2010 Top 50 Mom Bloggers list to answer our burning questions about blogging and motherhood. (This month we got to meet them via video!)
Our readers liked the series so much that they asked us to expand it to include more wisdom from more moms. Great idea, right? So we created the Wisdom from Mom Bloggers Facebook page as a space to do that.
Wisdom from Mom Bloggers is a page for both experienced mom bloggers and those new to blogging to:
-share advice
-expand your network
-encounter and encourage new voices — everyone started somewhere!
-interact with the whole mom blogging community in one casual, friendly place
Every day we'll post the best questions and bits of wisdom we find across the mom blogosphere. We hope you'll share your answers and links to your own blog posts on our wall, too. We'll continuously highlight our favorites among your posts so that everyone in the community has access to the advice you share!
To get involved with the page from the start, feel free to post a picture of yourself on the wall of our new Facebook page. Please post a link to your personal blog as well, and we'll add both your picture and blog link to our index of mom bloggers on the page!
We hope you're as excited about this new adventure as we are. So come in, check it out, post on our wall, and let us know who you are!

As any good American mom or pop will tell you, Russian Roulette is a fun, exciting game for the whole family! It's easy as 1-2-3-4-5-6-click-click-click-bang! If you win, you will want to play it again and again! This is one family game night you'll never forget.
The Game Pieces
All you need for a game of Russian Roulette is a gun, and a few FunAmmo. Any gun can be used, of course, but the game comes standard with your special edition Starter Glock, which has been specially rigged to fire the one bullet randomly. Just stick the FunAmmo into one of the empty slots in your gun of choice, and watch the fun begin!
Use a soft cloth to wipe off any grease, gunpowder, sweat, or blood that might accidentally get on the Game Set. If, by chance, you lose the FunAmmo, this set comes with five free spares, and more can be purchased wherever Russian Roulette is legal! Make sure to keep the gun on safety, as in the diagram to the right, as accidental discharge of FunAmmo can result in losing it. And we know you'd hate to run out of FunAmmo when you need it most.
Now you may be thinking, "well, this all sounds very complicated! I don't even know how to use a gun!" Never fear, as the easy-to-read instructions are an the box right next to the gun. Of course, even these are simple, and after one quick read you'll be ready to go! Basically, all that you have to do is pick up the gun, point it at your head, and pull the trigger. If you hear an amazingly loud bang, see a flash of light, and feel for a split second your very soul being dragged away into the darkest depths of oblivion, you lose! Now, the gun is passed along to the person either to your left or right. They'll add a new FunAmmo, randomly moved to a different chamber, and the fun begins again! However, if you hear a simple click, you "survive!" Congratulations, now all you have to do is live with the guilt of surviving the fate that someone you love will instead have to endure! But not so fast! You're not gonna put that gun down just yet, are you? I didn't think so! You see, this game is played so that only one player can be left without a hole in their head. So, repeat this process until only one player is left unscathed by the FunAmmo. Was it you? It was??? Then you win!
I win!!
Congrats, you live to play another day! You may want to buy more FunAmmo, as much or all of your old FunAmmo was likely expended in your last game. You may even want to buy another gun, as the Starter Glock will likely wear out after extensive use.
I lost….I'm sad
Hey, don't be sad! You can't be sad when you're dead!! Ha ha ha……… just kidding! Well, not really actually, as the vast majority of losers of Russian Roulette do actually die. Don't get discouraged, though! Losers are strongly encouraged to try again, and I'm sure that next time you play, your luck will improve!

Tourism, Landscape, and the Irish Characterby William H. A. Williams
British tourists in Ireland in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries were both charmed and repulsed. Picturesque but poor, abject yet sublime in its Gothic melancholy, the Ireland they experienced did not fit their British sense of progress, propriety, and Protestantism. Tourism, Landscape, and the Irish Characterdraws from more than one hundred accounts by English, Scottish, Welsh, and Anglo-Irish tourists written between 1750 and 1850 to probe the moral judgments British observers made about the Irish countryside and its native inhabitants. Whether consciously or not, these travel writers defined their own British identity in opposition to a perceived Irish strangeness: the rituals of Catholicism, the seemingly histrionic lamentations of the funeral wake, cemeteries with displays of human bones, the archaic Irish language or the Celtic-infused English that they heard spoken. Overlooking the acute despair in England's own industrial cities, they opined that the poverty, bog lands, and ill-thatched houses of rural Ireland indicated failures of the Irish character. By the eve of the Famine of the 1840s, travel writers were employing stereotypes of Celtic, Catholic carelessness in the south of Ireland and Saxon neatness and enterprise in predominantly Protestant Ulster, even calling for "Saxon" colonization of the west of Ireland. The Famine cleared the land of many of the peasants, but the western landscape, magnificent in its scenery but poor in its soil, eventually defeated most of the British "colonists," leaving the region to an ever-increasing number of tourists who could enjoy the picturesque mountainscapes without the distracting contradiction of an impoverished populace. "Superb book. Students of tourism and national identity, as well as of British and Irish history, will all find a great deal of interest in this text. "-Eric Zuelow,H-Travel "Certainly among the most comprehensive and engaging explorations of this literature yet to appear, not only for what it says about British travelers in Ireland but also for what it indirectly reveals about life I pre-famine Ireland itself. "-Mark Doyle,Journal of British Studies

Stephanie Weiss, a long time resident of the Santa Clarita Valley with a history of volunteerism that dates to 1971, was named the winner of the Carmen Sarro Community Service Award by the Zonta Club of SCV. More than 200 attendees saw Weiss named the winner of the award out of a field of 20 nominees. Weiss was greeted with a standing ovation and tears as she came forward to accept the award.
"This remarkable woman has done so much for this community it is impossible to acknowledge all the good in just a few minutes," said DeAnne Joy, chairwoman of the Zonta Women in Service committee.
Joy also read a short except written by Weiss' late daughter Tatiana Weiss, praising her mother's commitment to service, which brought tears to the presenters and to the audience.
Each of the 20 nominees was also honored during the 25th annual Women in Service celebration which was held March 28 at the Robinson Ranch Clubhouse in Canyon Country. The nominees for the award were submitted from a variety of SCV nonprofit organizations.
The Carmen Sarro Award is presented annually to the one volunteer who the Zonta Club feels best exemplifies efforts to advance the status of women in the SCV. Weiss was nominated by the ACTION Parent and Teen Support Group program.
"For the past nine years, Stephanie has supported the ACTION Parent and Teen Support Group Program with all areas of her skill, knowledge and expertise," said Cary Quashen, ACTION founder. "By her very actions as an ACTION Parent and Teen Support Group volunteer, she shares her mentorship skills and experience, strength and hope with women, men, boys and girls."
Weiss is a parent group facilitator with ACTION, working every Tuesday evening with parents of at-risk teens. She also works with at-risk teens themselves and is especially effective working with teen girls, said Quashen.
In addition, Weiss has served on the city of Santa Clarita Mayor's Blue Ribbon Task Force, which works on drug and alcohol education programs.
She began her volunteer career in 1971 as an original organizational member and hotline listener for SCV's Hotline We Care. Weiss has also volunteered for Project Echo, a high school business development/education project at Canyon High School; Habitat for Humanity; SCV Celebrity Waiter Dinner, a fundraiser for the SCV Senior Center; SCV American Red Cross and Joshua Tree Council, Girl Scouts.
Professionally Weiss is currently president of Strategies for Success, a local public relations and marketing firm.
"Working with ACTION, she sets an example to women, young and adult alike," Quashen said. "She advocates for women and assists them in honing their life skills to advance them educationally as well as in the workforce."
During the celebration brunch each of the 20 honorees was called forward and introduced to the audience and presented with a plaque and a small bouquet of yellow roses - the flower of the Zonta Club.
"We are excited to honor a diverse group of extremely qualified women," said Joy who also served as event emcee with Karen Maleck-Whiteley. "Giving to our community through service and volunteerism is a central value of the Zonta Club of SCV and we feel it is important to recognize those who give so generously of their time and talents."
Weiss was presented the Carmen Sarro Award by Sarro's daughter, Christine Sexton, a current member of Zonta. Sarro, who died in 2003, was a charter member of Zonta, the first employee of the city of Santa Clarita and known throughout the SCV as a tireless volunteer.
Keynote speaker Deborah Deras, author of "Confessions of an Adrenaline Addict," gave an entertaining talk to the room full of "overachievers" and offered tips to help women "achieve more with less effort."
Also honored during the celebration was Sue Arellano, managing partner of Centric - a creative marketing agency - that created the logo for the LifeForward workshop series sponsored by Zonta Club of SCV.
In addition to the LifeForward program Zonta Club of SCV sponsors Healthy Woman's Day which offers free breast cancer and other health screenings to uninsured and underinsured women in the SCV; the Virginia Wrage Memorial Grants made available to women facing unexpected obstacles in mid-life; Community Grant Program which offers grants from the SCV Zonta Foundation to local organizations to support Zonta's mission of advancing the status of women and girls in the SCV; Young Women in Public Affairs scholarship which offers scholarships for pre-college women committed to leadership in public policy, government and volunteer organizations; Jane M. Klausman Women in Business Scholarship for women pursuing undergraduate degrees in business-related studies and the Ameila Earhart Fellowships, an international fellowship awarded to women pursuing advanced studies in aerospace-related science or engineering.
The members of the 2009 Women in Service committee include Joy, co-chairwoman Diane Goddard, Gloria Barrett, Ruth Clark, Edna Dimatage-Fernandez, Alyce Huff, Cindy Kittle, Darleen Lyons, Chris Miller, Jane Nichols, Lori O'Brien, Judy Penman, Donna Schmidt, Christine Sexton, Cheryl Wasserman and Pat Willett.
The Zonta Club of SCV meets on the second Wednesday of each month. For information call (661) 252-935 or visit www.scvzonta.org.

Donnie Betts, Film Producer/Actor/Advocate, Forges On to Tell the Stories of Marginalized Communities
Among the bustling afternoon traffic of an Aurora coffee shop, I sat typing feverishly to capture even a fraction of the accomplishments of producer and arts advocate, donnie l. betts. When asked why he chooses to spell his name with lowercase letter, betts expressed that his intention is "to honor and respect my elders and ancestors whose shoulders I stand on". Even as coffeehouse mayhem erupted around our conversation, he maintained openness and a smile as he detailed the journey that led him to Denver, Colorado nearly thirty years ago. For decades, betts has provided communities across Colorado with cultural experiences through radio, film and live theatre. He is also the owner of No Credits Production, LLC., a film/ video production company, which produced a trailer for the book "The New Jim Crow" by Michelle Alexander. Although donnie betts is an inviting and gentle soul, the honesty of his progressive works has been described as deeply moving and at times, "uncomfortable".
Some of his current documentary projects that most intrigued me included topics such as childhood abuse and African American jockeys. As one of the Education Program Developers for History Colorado, betts has also scripted and produced performances of "Lincoln Hills" and "Keota". Currently, donnie l. betts is working to co-produce the one man play, "Mekong Joe" starring Joe Waddell. The production will be presented by the Mizel Museum at The Aurora Fox Studio Theater on August 10-11 and 17-18, 2012. donnie l. betts has committed to leveraging interracial casts to express the minority perspective in a non-stereotypical way that combats the tensions surrounding marginalized experiences in the United States. betts will also direct a regional premier of "The Color Purple" at the Aurora Fox Theatre in spring 2013.

The Donora Smog
An OnQ Special Report
Winner of two Mid-Atlantic Emmy Awards in 2003 for Outstanding Informational Feature and Outstanding Writing
This Western Pennsylvania tragedy put the word "pollution" in America's vocabulary.
In October of 1948, an air inversion prevented industrial plant smoke and fumes from rising into the atmosphere above Donora, Pennsylvania. The resulting smog hovered over the small town and nearby communities, killing 20 people and sickening thousands. A federal investigation into the disaster paved the way for the Clean Air Act of 1963, and laid the groundwork for the Environmental Protection Agency.
This mini-documentary features rare archival images and compelling interviews with Donora natives who experienced the infamous smog. It is brought to you by the award-winning team of writer/producer David Solomon, reporter/narrator Andy Masich and photographer/editor Paul Ruggieri.
Right: Daytime in Donora when the smog hovered in October 1948.

After years of work, Boeing is set to deliver its first 787 Dreamliner for commercial service.
Created by seattletimes on Sep 20, 2011
Last updated: 09/22/11 at 04:00 PM
Federal regulators issued Boeing's official 'type certificate' for the Dreamliner, allowing its expected first delivery in September.
Boeing was retaliating illegally against its largest union when it decided to put a second Dreamliner assembly line in a nonunion plant in South Carolina, the National Labor Relations Board charged, adding that Boeing should operate the second line at a union plant in Washington. Boeing says it won't stop its South Carolina plans.
Boeing says the in-flight electrical fire will push back the first delivery to ANA until July or September 2011.
Key power panel extensively damaged in Dreamliner fire, forcing emergency landing.
The 787 took off on a damp morning from Everett's Paine Field, crisscrossing the state for three hours before landing at Boeing Field in Seattle.
The plane begins nine months of intensive and often dramatic performance tests under chief test pilot Mike Carriker. Highlights are explained in this story.
Boeing Commercial Airplanes president and chief executive Scott Carson has stepped down, and the Boeing board has replaced him with Jim Albaugh, head of Boeing's defense division.
Boeing buys out 787 supplier partner Vought and takes over fuselage plant in Charleston, S.C.
Boeing again delays the 787's maiden flight, saying it needs to reinforce small areas near the connection of the wings and fuselage.
Boeing shows off the first Dreamliner to journalists.
An executive shuffle elevates Shanahan to lead all airplane programs and appoints Scott Fancher head of the 787 program.
Thousands of incorrectly installed fasteners are one reason for the latest delay, which will postpone first flight to the second quarter of 2009. The company also blames the month-long Machinists strike.
27,000 Machinists go on strike. Boeing blames part of 787 delays on the stoppage, but suppliers get a chance to catch up.
Suppliers' stumbles, and redesign of center wing-box, force Boeing to push out first delivery now 14 to 16 months late.
The delay Boeing's worst ever, to that point will cost an estimated $3.5 billion in postponed revenues and a billion in added expenses.
Boeing's surprise ouster of 787 program chief Mike Bair was hailed by some industry observers as the tapping of a fresh leader who can mop up the mess behind the six-month delay.
Boeing shows off the first 787 before 15,000 employees and customers at Everett, with much hoopla. The worldwide audience doesn't know the plane is a hollow shell with some painted wooden pieces. Later it is partly disassembled for rework.
Photos of the final-assembly process show the jet's first two forward sections did not fit properly when initially joined. On one side, there was a gap wide enough to stick a finger in.
Factories to spin the composite carbon-fiber material and build 787 sections are up and running. See stories explaining the inner workings of the global supply system.
Three months ahead of the plane's planned rollout, Boeing has more than 500 orders for the Dreamliner from 43 airlines. Workers applauded the news.
The first Dreamliner structural pieces are formed, the skins spun from spools of thread.
787 program chief Mike Bair says the first sections from its main partners won't come fully furnished with interior systems, and Everett mechanics will have to finish the work.
The Machinists union rejects a proposed three-year contract and goes on strike in three states. It's the union's first strike since 1995 and lasts one month.
Northwest Airlines placed a firm order for 18 Boeing 787s, worth $2.2 billion at list prices, with options to purchase an additional 50 of Boeing's newest jet.
Boeing confirmed an agreement to sell 60 of its new mid-size widebody jet to the six major airlines in China. The deal is worth $7.2 billion at nominal list prices. Boeing also announced that the jet formerly called the 7E7 would henceforth be designated the 787, continuing the company's 7-series model numbering.
Animation showing Boeing's global network for building 787's major sections
Internal Boeing documents peg expected development and launch expenses at $5.8 billion less than the 777.
Japan's All Nippon Airways formalized its role later that year at a signing ceremony in Seattle. Its first plane was due for delivery in mid-2008.
Boeing said its global 787 supply system will culminate here. CEO Harry Stonecipher said the company's board has approved launching the 7E7 and assembling it in Everett.
Boeing's 7E7 team, after an 8-month search, wants Everett to be the plane's final assembly site.
From Arkansas to California, officials in 22 states have said they would send proposals for the plant to assemble Boeing's proposed next-generation 7E7.
Locke signs into law a $3.2 billion, 20-year tax-break package for the aerospace industry that would take effect only if the 7E7 were built here. The tax package brought the gap between Everett and Kinston, N.C., the lowest-cost site competing for the 7E7, to less than $300 million.
The group will include Vought Aircraft Industries of Dallas and Alenia Aeronautica of Italy. Also expected to be partners are longtime Boeing suppliers Fuji Heavy Industries, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Kawasaki Heavy Industries.
Boeing reveals that it will hold a competition among states to find a location to build the new jet.
Boeing drops the proposed Sonic Cruiser to focus on a jet that promises 15-20 percent greater fuel efficiency along with the range and speed of Boeing's successful 777.

Don Nestor read from his father's World War II diary and talked about a life-changing family discovery at Tuesday's Buckhannon Rotary Club meeting.
Nestor's father, the late Clinton Nestor, served as a mess sergeant for the United States Army from March 23, 1944, to Dec. 2, 1945.
"It's kind of neat to go through (the diary)," Don Nestor said. "I've kind of gone back and tried to pick up some of the towns in Europe they went through. You can kind of track them going through Europe, from France and over into Austria and Germany."
Article Photos
The Inter-Mountain photo by Melissa Toothman
Don Nestor tells Buckhannon Rotary on Tuesday about discovering his Austrian sister after his father's experience in Europe during World War II.
Inside the diary were the names of Clinton Nestor's children - including a daughter who was born in April 1946.
Clinton Nestor had fathered the girl with another woman during his two-month stay in Austria. The child's mother previously attempted to get in contact with Clinton Nestor, but all of her attempts through the post office were unsuccessful.
The family secret wasn't discovered until 1977, when Don Nestor's Austrian sister successfully made contact after years of trying. Although her name was inside the diary, the Nestor family did not learn of this secret through reading the diary.
"She found us. We knew nothing about it," Don Nestor said.
Clinton Nestor already had passed away of cancer by the time the Austrian daughter managed to contact the family.
Clinton Nestor's sister had been the local postmaster, and until her retirement, all letters from the Austrian daughter and attempts to make contact were blocked.
"She sent them back (with the message) 'He's a married man. Leave him alone,'" Don Nestor said, adding that his father's side of the family had a baby photograph of the Austrian daughter in the family Bible, but his mother and siblings were never made aware of their foreign sibling.
Although the news came as a surprise for the family, it was well-received, Don Nestor said, adding that it was a common occurrence for men to father children during their time overseas. After learning the news, Don Nestor, his mother and his siblings were able to visit Austria and meet with their newest family member.
"We've learned some German words. They've learned a lot more English than we've learned German," Don Nestor said, adding that they still communicate using Skype. "This is where you think about the way life kind of turns and how God blesses you in so many ways.
"These things happen in wars. Wars are tough," he continued, saying everyone who went into war had to deal with a great deal of uncertainty.
"(You were) leaving not only your home and your friends and your family, but your country," he said.
