Historical Traveler Reviews Kingsleigh Inn Southwest Harbor
Wonderful inn and great innkeepers
We stayed at the Kingleigh for six nights in July 2005. The inn is wonderful, the innkeepers (Dana and Greg) are great. The breakfasts (in the dining room or on the porch) are delicious, and the photos on the web site are accurate for once. The Inn is a great place to relax and read (no TV or phone), or to use as a base for excursions to Acadia National Park and surrounding areas. Dana and Greg can help you sort through the many choices you have for activities and dining, and are a great source of local information (in addition to being a lot of fun). Southwest Harbor is a nice little town -- big enough to have good restaurants and shops, but removed from all the craziness a few miles away at Bar Harbor. We highly recommend a stay at the Kingsleigh. Ask for a room on the back side if you want the most peace and quiet. And tell Dana and Greg that the "NC Troublemakers" recommended the inn.
Fabulous Stay
Our stay at the inn was beyond expectations. We enjoyed the warmly decorated 3rd floor suite with its ocean view. Innkeepers Dana and Greg did everything to accomodate our stay. The breakfasts were not only delicious but wonderfully presented and it afforded us a time to chat with and get to know other guests. There are many diversion nearby, including hiking, kayaking, bicycling or just walking the quaint streets. We stayed 3 nights this year, but are planning a trip back next year for an entire week.
Perfect for any occasion
We stayed at the Kingsleigh Inn for our honeymoon in June 2005. I have to say, I have stayed at many B&Bs and I have never had such a wonderful experience. Dana and Greg were perfect hosts. The breakfasts were beyond delicious and they had wonderful recommendations for activities and dinners. They even went out of their way to make reservations for us for dinner one night. Additionally, my husband's birthday fell on one of the days we stayed there and Dana added a candle to his breakfast and had us all sing happy birthday.
The little touches of the Inn are the best part: they have little kits with makeup remover, nail files etc, slippers and robes, chocolate and other candies in the room and fresh coffee every morning.
We stayed in the Hawthorne room. We walked through most of the other rooms (including the Chelsea) and found our room to be the best. It had a cute, private deck that overlooked the bay.
We had the honeymoon package which included cheese tray (crackers, pate, cheese and olives) as well as champange and chocolate dipped strawberries. One suggestion, ask for your cheese tray one day and the strawberries another...it is a lot of food for your first evening there!
If you are going to Mount Desert Island, there is NO better place to stay than the Kingsleigh Inn.
Sheer Excellence
We spent only one night at the Kingsleigh Inn on the night that I proposed to my fiance. We were so pleased with our experience and the hosts Dana and Greg were outstanding. The Inn is immaculate and truly lived up to our first ever B&B stay expectations. We stayed in The Waverly room which was perfectly cozy. Breakfast the next morning was delicious as well.
If you're looking for a great restaurant in the area, Fiddler's Green just down the street is wonderful.
What a B&B experience should be
By far the best B&B experience of the last few years. The owners Dana and Greg are true "naturals" in their roles. They sincerely want their guests to have the best experience. They were quite helpful in answering, even anticipating, our needs and questions. Breakfasts are deliciously original. The inn is beautifully decorated and immaculately clean. Homemade cookies and espresso machine as well as numerous teas are available at all times.
We wholeheartedly recommend The Kingsleigh Inn.
A terrific B&B
Loved the Kingsleigh Inn. Charming hosts, marvelous breakfasts and wonderful coffee available at all times. Beautifully decorated with many extra touches (robes in rooms, truffles and port wine also). Away from the hubbub of Bar Harbor but close enough to see everything easily.
Wonderful restaurant - Red Sky - around the corner. The inn and restaurant are open all year if you are interested in cross country skiing or just getting away.
Great B & B
Our brief two day stay at the Kingsleigh was wonderful. The house has great furnishings, and cozy rooms. Our room, the Chelsea, had a wonderful deck overlooking Southwest harbor. Dana and Greg were very friendly and knowledgeable of the area. Dana's breakfast was truly wonderful! A great place to stay on the "quiet side of the island".
Two Thumbs Up, Way Up
The Kingsleigh Inn is a charming and comfortable inn. The backside of the house has a nice porch where you can eat breakfast, and a hammock where you can take a rest after a day of hiking. The breakfasts were both bountiful and delicious, and homemade treats were always available in the afternoon and evening. A glass a port and chocolate truffles was replenished after each evening in your room. The innkeepers were very nice and offered great advice on what to do on the island. The bottom line is that our experience at the Kingsleigh Inn was as good as any other B&B we have stayed at, including many that are more expensive. We would return again without hesitation.

SAN FRANCISCO -- The best view at AT&T Park isn't the upper deck behind home plate with its gorgeous vista of the Bay Bridge and the marina as the water extends across the horizon to Oakland.
No, the best view is the one in the right field, where fans get to watch Giants games for free, peering through a gate but with a ground-level view of the action.
Each game, the Giants filter through 450 fans -- 150 at a time, for three innings apiece. Where else can you see a World Series game for free?
Scott, a 47-year-old fan from Sacramento, Calif., didn't want his last name used since he was skipping out of work, but he had left at 6 a.m. to pick up his friend, Mike Costuros. They arrived at 9:30 a.m. to get to the front of the line. Actually, Mike was in line at 9:30. Scott got there at 10 after parking more than a mile from the ballpark.
"We've been looking forward to this, watching six elimination games, calling each other," Scott said. "We didn't come last night because of [Justin] Verlander."
"We thought we'd lose," Mike said.
The two had looked online for tickets, but Mike said the cheapest he found were standing-room-only seats for $380 -- and that was before the Giants beat the Cardinals in Game 7 of the National League Championship Series. After that game, tickets were going for $1,000 or more.
Instead, Scott said this will cost them $20 -- $6 to cross the Bay Bridge, $10 to park and $4 to cross back over the Carquinez Bridge. "I took my son two years ago for $17. This year I paid inflationary prices."
The two had brought chicken sandwiches, Big Hunk candy bars -- "I always have Big Hunk candy bars when I watch baseball," Scott said -- and said they had to come tonight because the series may not to return to San Francisco. "The Giants are going to sweep," Scott said. "It's possible we could get an epic series and the Giants win Game 6 on Halloween, but the Giants are on fire right now."
Gregg Bernheisel had come from even farther than Sacramento. He and his two sons, Ryan, 16, and Michael, 17, flew down from Vashon Island, Wash. They had to catch a 4 a.m. ferry to get to the airport for a 6 a.m. flight.
"We had tickets for Games 6 and 7 two years ago and were going to drive down," Gregg said, "but then the Giants won in Texas. I told my sons if it happens again in our lifetime, we have to go. We knew we were going to come down for this one since we didn't want to risk missing it again."
The youth minister grew up a Giants fan in the Bay Area and has convinced his sons to root for his childhood team. "The Mariners are our American League team though," Gregg added.
Gregg had actually taken his sons to the Knothole Gang section back in the 2002 World Series. "They actually let us stay the entire game since the boys were so young," he said. But he wanted to take them again, when they were older and would have more lasting memories of the experience. They also had been in line since 9:30 a.m., ordering pizzas and doughnuts.
They actually were still hoping to secure tickets for inside the ballpark. A friend of theirs is a close friend of Tigers infielder Ramon Santiago from when he played with the Mariners, and there was a chance Santiago would have some tickets left over.
I'm sure sitting inside the park would be the memory of a lifetime. But I also think waiting in line with your kids for eight hours, eating pizzas and doughnuts, is something the Bernheisels will never forget.

Milwaukee Film Festival picks: Day Ten
Rain and movies go together like ... well, you pick the metaphor. But you don't need bad weather to attend the Milwaukee Film Festival Saturday. Here are reasons to do so.
- "Sign Painters" (4:30 p.m., Oriental Theatre) Documentary directed by Faythe Levine and Sam Macon that Art City writer Mary Louise Schumacher calls "a dive into the toolboxes and tricks of the sign painters" who "change the urban landscape with their own hands and who defy the kind of washed-out sameness that has crept into American cities."
- "The Angels' Share" (4 p.m., Fox-Bay Cinema Grill) Cannes Festival Jury prize-winning comedy by the usually dour Ken Loach about a troubled youth who discovers he has a nose for quality whisky and hatches a scheme to steal a rare spirit. Watch the trailer below.
- "Spinning Plates" (4 p.m., Oriental) Documentary about a struggling Mexican restaurant, a family-style community landmark and the nouvelle cuisine of Chicago's Alinea whose chef was stricken with a cancer that threatened his senses of taste and smell. What starts out as a foodie film ends up a portrait of struggle, perseverance and triumph. Watch the trailer below.
- "An Evening With Paul Attanasio" (7:30 p.m., Oriental) Paul Attanasio, Oscar-nominated screenwriter of "Donnie Brasco" and "Quiz Show," executive producer of "Homicide: Life on the Street" and "House, and brother of Milwaukee Brewers owner Mark Attanasio, appears at a career retrospective conducted by Jonathan Jackson, the festival's artistic and executive director.

Historical Traveler Reviews Hotel de la Herse d'Or Paris
Dreadful Experience
My friend and I checked in to the Hotel de la Herse d'Or at about 12 midday on a sunny September afternoon. We came and left the hotel about three times over the course of the afternoon, meeting both the proprietor of the hotel and the desk staff that evening. All seemed to be in order.
At a quarter to four in the morning, we returned from a lovely night out in Paris, for the desk staff to start demanding payment for our room. We had booked through an internet middleman and had already given our credit card details so, understandably enough, we needed to check with the credit card company in the morning before handing over our credit card to pay again. We asked the desk staff why this couldn't wait until the morning. At this point, he became extremely agitated and argumentative. We kept reminding him that we had no problem with paying for the room if indeed it had not been paid for, but that we felt a) this was not the time or the place to be demanding money, b) we needed to wait a few hours till the morning to ring our bank and c) it was a bit strange that neither the proprietor nor the desk staff had mentioned anything earlier in the day! At four-thirty a.m., the police were called! In arrive two armed policemen, obviously very surprised to be called to a hotel at this hour of the morning. After about half an hour of investigation, the desk staff was told in no uncertain terms by the police that the room didn't even need to be paid for until midday (check-out time) and to let these two unfortunate girls go up to their beds. We were "allowed" to finally turn in at 5am.
We were very fortunate that we speak French and that the police were so fair. It certainly could have led to a nasty situation. My recommendation - DON'T stay at the Hotel de la Herse d'Or. Okay, you save a few bucks, but this will NOT be worth it if anything goes wrong or you need their help during your stay. Very scary experience. Lovely hotel called Sevigne just around the corner for the same price and twice the standard.
Good budget hotel in Paris
This hotel was cheap and adequate for a long weekend in Paris. The room was clean and had private facilities - not common in the 60 euros range in European cities. The location was excellent- close to Bastile metro station with good links to the rest of Paris and there were cafes and restaurants close by. It is possible to walk from here to many of Paris's attractions. They held out luggage for free on the final morning and although my French is almost non-existant I didn't have any problems here.
Great Deal, great location and LOTS of character
I loved this hotel! It's eclectic and has tons of character. At the time I thought the rooms were on the small side, but after being in NYC or San Francisco, there is ample space. You can't beat the price, the location or it's proximity to transportation. Our room was street side (not sure if there is another side) and I loved sitting at the desk and just watching city life.
It was small but very inexpensive and a great location. The staff was friendly and the rooms were clean. Plus, if you fail to go to the gym on vacation the stairs are a sure workout. Loved it and wil go again.
Nothing special but a good deal
I stayed at the Herse d'or in January and found it to be an ok find. I would warn those who cannot speak french though, that they will most likely not get much help from the staff. Our room looked out over Rue St Antoine and was very close to the metro. Although it was not the cleanest hotel I have stayed in, it is really a good deal for Paris. I believe I paid 210EU for 13 days. If you do the math, its a good deal.
Also make sure you are willing to climb some stairs...a lot of them unless you are on one of the lower floors.
A decent place in Paris for fifty bucks, what's everyone's problem?
I've been staying at the Herse d'Or for nearly twenty years, and while it's not at all luxurious, it's a fine place in a fine location with a well-meaning staff. It's a real French place, in that the desk locks the door at 1 am and you have to wake up an old man to get in (he doesn't seem to mind), and the accomodations are a bit on the traditional "European" side. But for God's sake, fifty bucks for a decent place three blocks from the Bastille? You can triple that and not find a comparable place in London or New York.
Great location, big rooms, but...
I stayed at the Herse D'Or in early November. It is in a great location very close to Bastille metro station. If you get a room on the internal stairwell you don't get the street noise, but you do get the noise from people going up the stairs plus the constant renovations and repairs, plus the very loud-talking receptionist at night. The plumbing was a bit dodgy - there was a puddle on the bathroom floor thru the whole stay - and I had to ask for a clean towel after a few days. The room was tidied but not really cleaned during the stay. On the plus side, I had a huge room to myself (it could have slept 3). The day receptionist was a lovely helpful young chap with very good English. So if a bit of dirt and noise and lots of stairs don't bother you, and you can handle the odd mixture of wallpaper designs, it's a good choice.
Much less than expected
I hate to say the Herse was "terrible," but it really wasn't "OK," either. Maybe for the 17yr-old crowd, trying to see Paris on $75/day, this would be an OK recommendation. Certainly, the location is good.
But, although I don't mind ugly wallpaper, peeling wallpaper, and a puddle on the bathroom floor for the 5 days of our stay is more than I'm ready to put up with--especially for 60Euros/night! The noise from the Rue St. Antoine is pretty stunning, and, although the rooms on the central court are much quieter, you get all the noise of arrivals until 3am and guests clumping up and down the 7 flights of stairs to the rooms. One of the concierges, M. Sousi, is very accomodating and speaks very good English, but even his efforts couldn't make up for the terrible smell of old cigarette smoke in my first room, the relentless noise from the street, or the un-fixed plumbing problem.
For those older than 17, with just a few more Euros to spend, I recommend the Hotel de Sevigne, 2 Rue Mahler, a few blocks from the Herse D'Or. They are air conditioned, renovated and have an elevator!
I have made my reservation through the web for the 21 to the 24 of August quite one month earlier than my trip to Paris for 60 euros per night in a double room with bathroom and TV. When I arrived, there was a notice at the door saying that the hotel was making a promotion for August, and that my room was going to cost 50 euros. However, the receptionist (Mr. Soussi) said the promotional price was only for those without reservation, although I've seen later at the website that a reservation could be made for that price. I found the policy totally UNFAIR and against the law. Why should I pay more for something that costs less at that period? Just because I was careful and made the reservation quite one month before? This behaviour discourage people of doing their reservations in advance through the web and can even be viewed as a discrimination.
Hotel de la Herse d'Or was a great find. the area is my favorite (along rue antoine, marais), where it's busy but very friendly and charming. the hotel itself is pretty plain, with ugly wallpaper, but the owner is friendly and generous and i loved the narrow, winding stairs up to the 4th floor (although if you have a lot of luggage, the lack of a lift might be quite tiring). the rooms are clean and mine looked right out onto rue antoine- sometimes noisy but always entertaining. i stayed there last year and am in the midst of booking again for next month.

Police in Crown Heights: 'A Holding Approach'
By MARTIN GOTTLIEB
Published: November 19, 1992
When violence erupted in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, last year, the Police Department initially adopted "a kind of holding approach" that for three days failed to quell the disturbances, Police Commissioner Raymond W. Kelly said yesterday. But at no time, he said, did the department receive orders from City Hall to show restraint in dealing with those who caused the unrest.
The Commissioner's assertion of no interference from the Dinkins administration rebuts a central claim of critics, who have accused City Hall and Mayor David N. Dinkins of telling the police not to quickly quell the violence that ultimately resulted in the killing of Yankel Rosenbaum.
Mr. Kelly said the initial police response had been to send hundreds of officers into the area, but without the equipment that was needed to keep up with roving groups of demonstrators and rioters who moved through the neighborhood. Thus, out of necessity, the police adopted "a kind of holding approach," he said.
Allegations by Lubavitchers and some other Jewish groups that the police had a go-easy attitude toward lawbreakers have grown more intense since the acquittal of Lemrick Nelson Jr. late last month. Mr. Nelson was charged in the stabbing death of Mr. Rosenbaum, a Lubavitcher scholar, who the police said was set upon by a mob of 15 to 20 black youths. He was stabbed a few hours after the outbreak of disturbances that followed an accident in which a car from an entourage of the Lubavitcher chief rabbi swerved out of control and killed an 7-year-old black child, Gavin Cato.
Mr. Kelly's account was supported yesterday by Milton Mollen, the former deputy mayor for criminal justice who oversaw the Police Department for Mayor Dinkins.
"If any such instructions were to come, they would have come through me," Mr. Mollen said. "At no time did I or anyone else to my knowledge tell the Police Commissioner or anyone else to show restraint with unlawful acts of any kind. We made it a policy not to interfere with police operations. My assumption, and I think it was the Mayor's, was that these matters call for professional police judgment, which is best exercised by the Police Commissioner."
The events in Crown Heights are part of a heated debate now, and some critics have raised two separate complaints against Mayor Dinkins. The first is whether he restrained the police during the immediate violence, and the other is whether he was responsive and empathetic enough to the death of Mr. Rosenbaum.
A group of black civil rights, religious and community representatives yesterday urged an end to what they called unfair attacks on the Mayor for his handling of Crown Heights. "It's totally unfair, all the harassment that he's taken over the last several weeks," said Dennis Walcott, director of the New York Urban League, at a City hall news conference. "I think it's politically motivated."
Some of the allegations against Mr. Dinkins are in a lawsuit filed this week by a Lubavitcher organization asking for unspecified damages. The group accused Mr. Dinkins and former Police Commissioner Lee P. Brown of agreeing that "the city would withhold its police protective services on a discriminatory and selective basis." 'To Vent Their Rage'
The suit charged that they decided that blacks in the disturbances "should be permitted to vent their rage" over Gavin Cato's death "at the expense of the lives and property of Jews and other non-blacks present in the Crown Heights community."
However, the papers offered scant proof for the allegation, and Franklyn H. Snitow, acting for the Lubavitchers, said he would make his case at trial. Rabbi Shmuel Butman, a spokesman for the Lubavitchers, said yesterday that police officers on the street during the disturbances had told him and his neighbors that they were ordered not to act if they saw criminal incidents.
That allegation was adamantly denied yesterday by Mr. Mollen and Commissioner Kelly, who provided a running account of police activity that showed an abrupt change of strategy after the disturbances seemed only to be building with each passing day. Citing the suit and a Federal investigation into Mr. Rosenbaum's death, the department declined to make available police records pertaining to one of the city's most troubling recent outbreaks of violence.
But even taking into account the change in strategy, Mr. Kelly said, the fact that hundreds of police officers were directed to the area every day from the time the child was killed was evidence that "there was no holding back."
According to the Commissioner, there were 310 police officers and 52 sergeants and superiors, including deputy chiefs, at the scene by the end of the first evening of disturbances, Aug. 19, 1991. On the second day, which ended with a strong rainfall that the police had hoped would stem the outbreaks, there were 1,044 police officers and nearly 150 superior officers over three shifts. And on the third day, the number had risen to 1,403, with superior officers rising to 151.
But Mr. Kelly, who at the time was the first deputy commissioner, said that the outbursts continued, with stores and police cars firebombed and damaged on Aug. 20, and that on Aug. 21 demonstrators hurled rocks and concrete at journalists and police officials as well as bottles at Mayor Dinkins when he left the Cato family apartment on President Street. Something More Needed
Independently, according to Mr. Kelly and Mr. Mollen, it became apparent to the department and the Mayor that something more had to be done.

Although they started this season of Biggest Loser as an under-the-radar twosome, sisters Hannah Curlee and Olivia Ward became breakout stars after a sensational run during the trip to New Zealand earlier this year.
Also in the final four ahead of the finale were Irene Alvarado and Jay Jacobs, who learned which of the two had won America's vote to compete for the ultimate prize and title of the Biggest Loser.
Keep reading to find out all the results of Tuesday's show ...
Joining Hannah and Olivia in an all-female final three, after the votes for America's choice were tabulated, was full-time student Irene Alvarado, who became a best buddy to the Purple Team during the season. Among them, a winner emerged.
After an incredible 129-lb. weight loss over a span of 8 months, New York City opera singer Olivia Ward, 35, was crowned season 11's Biggest Loser.
The 5'9" Ward started at 261 lbs. and ended at 132 lbs. Her sister, Curlee, who started at 248 lbs., weighed in at 128 lbs. for a difference of 120 lbs. And Alvarado, who started out at 255 lbs., weighed in at 139 lbs. for a weight loss of 116 lbs.
"For such a long time, I didn't even let myself imagine winning," Ward tells PEOPLE. "I will say the last few weeks I was really pushing towards the finish line and I thought about that confetti!"
"A lot of people told me to visualize that confetti," she continues. "Man, I have to tell you, it was not even anywhere as good in my mind as it was tonight. It was just fantastic."

So as our 2014 World Championship Guidelines come out, we just wanted to use this forum to call attention to the larger changes, and explain a little about how we arrived at them.
Since the 2013 WAKAPalooza Weekend concluded, we've surveyed our players in detail and had some really deep internal philosophical discussions about what Founders Cup represents. This process led us to certain guiding themes to help us navigate our policy decisions -- and perhaps the largest of these is to move in the direction of stronger team identity.

Naspharma Steroids
Naspharma steroids are arguably the most effective and modern approach in body building. However, for this measure to be effective the quality must be accompanied by appropriate use. In the better part of this article, there will be a very unique exploration of some of the best measures that can guarantee the appropriate use of steroids and everything that comes with them.
One of the best practices in the modern ideas regarding the use of steroids and particularly Naspharma steroids is using the right steroids for the right purpose. Just like any other medical product, steroids are not universal and therefore anyone and everyone have their own unique needs that can only be addressed by specific steroids in question. The fact is before finding the right steroids to buy, the basic rationale that should always inspire your approach should be hinged on whatever needs you have in the regard.
With the growing number of steroids users, it has become evident that most people are looking at this option as one of the best they have in regards to body building and the same applies to other needs they might have. The needs assessment can be done by the person involved but in most cases, the basic advice that is given by experts is to get help from a medical practitioner or for that matter a steroids expert.
With a very unique approach in need assessment, finding the right steroids would all but have been secured. That aside, appropriate steroids use should be based on the recommendation of an expert. As noted in the first part of the article, steroids just like any other medical solutions are supposed to be used appropriately and with the perspective of an expert in mind. The rationale of this assumption cannot be questioned given the fact that steroids have shown effectiveness if used appropriately. In any case, however, Naspharma steroids to buy are all designed to provide easy usage for all the users involved. While many people prefer steroids buy online ideas, there is a very considerable level of caution that required.
Steroids are designed to give anyone an easy way out in a given biological situation and therefore where they are bought should be as legitimate as possible. The other important fact about appropriate steroid use is actually using the approach as a complementary way to weight loss or body building. Whilst steroids have proven time and again to be central in any other activities listed above, there is no doubt they can deliver best results if they are used alone. Over dependence on steroids will only serve to reduce their effectiveness in the end. With all this points considered there is every reason why steroids use can work well for you.

No ? I am surprised. OK. At least you must be knowing Music Directors Ajay, Baboo Singh or Vijay Honavar ? Your blank face says, you have never heard their names.
I am not asking you names of Music Directors from the 1930s or 1940s. All these were composers in the 1960s. If I ask you about Satyam, Jagdish or Ratandeep-Hemraj, what will you say ?
These were Music Directors in the 1970s. They composed music for 5 to 15 films each in the 70s.

Aise gussa na keejiye huzoor
Posted May 17, 2012on:
This article is written by Sudhir, a fellow enthusiast of Hindi movie music and a regular contributor to this blog.
There are many flavors of 'roothhnaa' and 'manaanna' in Hindi films. There are many songs that we like, which are about one person, lady or the gentleman, one of whom is upset and offended about something, and then the other person will make an effort to placate the emotional storm, sing praises, make promises, make amends and try to get the communications back on track. But did I say, lady and gentleman. Well not always – there are songs that put people of many different relationships and genders and ages, into a song trying to set right the upset moods. I recall the wonderful kids song "Daadi Amma Daadi Amma Maan Jaao. . ." from 'Gharaana' (1961), in which two kids are trying to humor and bring laughter to the lips of their grandma, who is offended with the actions and deeds of the generation in between. And I am sure readers will add many more songs of such situations to this list.

Tere sadqe balam na kar koi gham

"Amar" (1954) is a movie starring Dilip Kumar and Madhubala. This movie had several songs that became quite popular. I have discussed five songs from this movie in the past.

"Do Phool"(1958) is a movie with some delightful songs in it. I just discovered a very nice song in this movie.

If one creates one or two masterpiece songs in a movie that I suppose the creators of such songs in that movie could be justified in taking it easy while creating the remaining songs. But that is not how they worked in the (G)olden days. The created one gem after another in the same movie, as if this was the last movie of their careers. And they continued it for their other movies as well for their entire careers that lasted a few decades. and then there were many others who worked in the same way. No wonder we are left with a huge body of quality music that we can keep exploring for decades, without being able to exhaust it.

You Know Who Has Troy Aikman's '93 Super Bowl Ring? Troy Aikman.
Weird little story circulating in the nether regions of the Interwebs concerning well-known (almost legendary, matter of fact) con man Fred Brito and his claim that, yesterday, he became the "owner of Troy Aikman's 1993 Super Bowl Dallas Cowboy's Championship Ring." The folks over at The Landry Hat, a Dallas Cowboys' site, are trying to debunk the story with "a full investigation," which Brito's welcoming with taunting posts of his own. Only, it isn't necessary, fellas. Because Aikman's personal assistant, Saye Donovan, tells Unfair Park this morning that the former Cowboys QB "has not had any thefts and has kept all his Super Bowl rings. I am certain it's not a true story. People like to see what they can get away with."
Donovan and the woman who answers the phone at The Aikman Foundation both recall that a few years back, another man also claimed to have bought one of Aikman's Super Bowl rings. "But I am 99.99 percent sure he has all his Super Bowl rings," says the woman at the foundation, "because he keeps them in a very safe place, and I know where it is." Investigation closed. --Robert Wilonsky
Update: After the jump, Fred Brito calls to say that the Fred Brito who claims to have bought the Aikman ring was not, in fact, the real Fred Brito. This just turned into a very interesting story.
So, yeah, Fred Brito just called. Wanted to know how he wound up all over the Internet in recent days. Wanted to know why his office phone was going "haywire." Because, look, Fred Brito said, he doesn't know squat about Troy Aikman's ring or any other piece of jewelry.

"I have no clue what anybody's talking about," he said. "It's not me."
So I asked him, "Is FredBrito.net your Web site?"
Yes, he said. He sounded exactly like Fred Brito.
"Because yesterday," I told him, "it said on your Web site that you bought Troy Aikman's Super Bowl ring."
"I did not write all this stuff," he insisted. "But it's all over the blasted Internet that I am some big liar."
But you are the Fred Brito who's the infamous con man, right?
"Yes, that is me," he said. "But somebody has pirated my Web site, and I don't appreciate it."
And, indeed, Brito's site now has a note that reads, in part:
There appears to be someone in the universe who enjoys impersonating me and is doing a poor job at doing it. They have pirated my websites and precautions have been taken to change the passwords in order to hopefully prevent this from happening in the future.
So, I asked him, somebody's doing to you what you used to do to other people? He agreed.
"I understand it, but the way people have been talking about me on the Internet, I don't appreciate it," he said. "They're doing what I normally would have done five years ago, but I haven't done it in a long time. But I am going straight. And I am livid somebody would actually do this. I've never done this before to somebody else. This is a first. But what goes around comes around. I guess I earned it. But I do not have a ring and don't want one. It's bizarre. I am not even a Cowboys fan. I am a Rams fan."

HOMETOWN: Gresham, OR
After working in the his family's tree nursery for 22 years, Andy is no stranger to working long hours outdoors and running a variety of heavy equipment. Andy was taught the value of honesty and hard work from a young age. His sheer determination allows him to work long hours with very little sleep - an amazing feat for a miner but one that can sometimes put him at risk.
Andy believes Gold Rush is an "awesome, life changing, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity" and joined Hoffman team in Series 3, hoping to find an alternative income to support his wife and their two children. Andy believes, "Men should be real men, should quit making excuses, and should stand by their commitments to their wife and children and work hard to provide for them financially."
After a disastrous season in the jungle in season four, Andy returned to work in the tree nursery but was persuaded to return to the Klondike last season. Andy was a key part of the Hoffman's success in season five and he's hoping to repeat that this year.
When not working, Andy is an avid outdoorsman and loves hunting.

Keeping your cat's coat groomed and nails trimmed are key to keeping him healthy. If you want to maintain both his coat and nails in between professional groomings or prefer to groom at home, these tips can help make the job easier.
Regular brushing removes dead hair from the coat before it mats, stimulates follicles of the skin, helps prevent hairballs and distributes the natural oils, producing a healthy, shiny coat.
Brush in the direction of hair growth with a wire slicker brush. This will help detangle any matted fur and remove dead hair and debris. After brushing the coat until it is thoroughly clean, you can follow with the cat brush. Use long, flowing strokes to bring out the beautiful luster of your cat's coat.
A grooming glove can also be used after brushing. It will remove any remaining debris, massage the skin and distribute the natural oils resulting in a shiny, healthy coat.
If your cat is a longer-haired breed, you'll have to brush her undercoat to keep it from building up. Most long-haired breeds have an undercoat, which is the softer fur inside the coat. If the undercoat builds up, it can prevent her from properly regulating her body temperature.
Brushing of both long and short-haired breeds also helps prevent excessive shedding which goes a long way in keeping your home (not to mention your wardrobe) free of cat hair.
Be careful brushing a cat's stomach. The hair there is usually fine and pulls easily, which can be painful or sensitive.
Never use ordinary scissors to trim your cat's nails; they may injure the cat. Use trimmers that are specifically designed for cats. Hold the paw firmly and squeeze the paw at the base of the nail. This will cause the nail to protrude.
Cut off the tips of the nail with a single stroke, being careful to stop short of the quick, which is the blood vessel inside the nail. (Cutting into the quick will hurt your cat and cause some bleeding.)
Follow up with the nail file, filing toward the tip to smooth the cut edge. Learn more with this cat grooming video, learn more from PetSmart Grooming or visit us in store.

[VIDEO] One of the longest goals of the season came last Monday night when Seton Hall's Eliseo Giusfredi scored off the kickoff from 60 yards to give Seton Hall a 4-3 win over New Jersey rival Princeton.
After Princeton tied the game on a goal by Kyle McHugh, Seton Hall freshman Andrew Welker put the ball in play from midfield to Giusfredi, who rocketed a 60-yard shot just between the cross bar and the outstretched arms of the leaping Tiger goalie to put SHU back ahead for good and hand Princeton its fourth straight loss.
The five seconds between goals tied the NCAA Division I record for second shortest amount of time between goals by opposing teams. The record is three seconds in a 1998 game between UC Santa Barbara and UCLA.
Giusfredi, a junior from Paterson, N.J., is considered a pro prospect and is reported to be considering turning pro after the 2007 season. He leads the 3-5-0 Pirates with five goals in eight games.

The hole in the Kansas defense was enormous. And Patrick Mahomes II took off running. As the Texas Tech quarterback crossed the 50-yard line and headed into the Jayhawks' secondary, he probably thought about sliding. But, he never got the chance.Read More
Even before Patrick Mahomes II left the game with his throwing arm dangling, Texas Tech already had issues. You never expected a lowly team such as Kansas to be the team to uncover it, but at least the Red Raiders found out in their Big 12 opener.
Quite simply, the Texas Tech football team took care of business Thursday night in its Big 12 opener against Kansas. That was clearly evident in the first two minutes as Patrick Mahomes II accumulated more touchdowns (two) than incompletions (one).
Texas Tech wore a new uniform combination for Thursday's home game against Kansas: red helmets with the Double-T logo, red jerseys, white pants, red socks and white shoes.
Dorance Armstrong Jr. played like a man possessed to start the game.

Dear friend,
After a week's vacation, I'm back now to rural Tennessee.
Forgive my sarcasm, but nothing's changed here in a week. The high unemployment, the paycheck-to-paycheck population of the area, and the increasing incidence of spousal abuse, teen pregnancy and drug use (prescription and otherwise) still dominate daily life.
We see this far too often in the clientele at the local food bank we operate in our small town.
Up until a decade ago, a mobile home manufacturer ran two large plants here. They operated 24/7, and they provided a decent living for the workers of the area.
But cutbacks and corporate greed won out over taking care of the laborers. Both plants are silent now, yet, even today, they display fading painted aluminum signs that still boast of the worker productivity over the years.
No, the workers did their parts.
It was the greed of the corporation that moved the factory elsewhere, somewhere it didn't have a union and didn't have to pay workers a decent wage.
Now, around here, as unemployment sits around 25 percent, there's nothing much to do except have babies you can't afford to feed or care for, and then do drugs to forget you can't care for your family.
Guys who've been taught by this culture that showing emotion or not taking care of your family are sure signs of weakness often take out their inability to express frustration by battering the closest thing to them - usually a "significant other" or a child.
In a decidedly Red State, you'd think the churches would step in and help.
The middle class dresses up on Sundays and fills the pews; the poor, by and large, don't go to church. One local pastor remarked, "We'd like to help them folks, but they gotta help themselves."
He said this to me from the window of his new pickup truck as he "defended" his church's decision to not be a part of our food bank collaboration.
It seems the churches around here only help those who can put something in the collection plate every week ... and completely miss the irony.
My apologies: it's not all doom and gloom, my friend. To be fair, some local religious groups practice the Social Gospel, believing that we should imitate the book of Acts when it describes the early church members "selling what they had and sharing with the poor."
These groups believe that the early church "had all things common," as Acts says, and that we, too, should imitate that early form of socialism and follow the example of Jesus who fed the hungry, helped the sick, comforted the sorrowful.
But I'm preaching. You probably know this already.
I promise my next letter will be more upbeat.
Until then, I hope your struggle goes well.
In solidarity,
Charlie M.

Skip to comments.HOUSE COMMITTEE TO INVESTIGATE MCDERMOTT
Posted on 12/28/2004 9:01:31 AM PST by areafiftyone
WASHINGTON (AP) -- The House ethics committee will investigate Rep. Jim McDermott, D-Wash., to determine whether he violated standards of conduct when an illegally recorded telephone conversation was leaked to reporters during a committee investigation.
Committee Chairman Joel Hefley, R-Colo., and ranking Democrat Alan Mollohan of West Virginia formed a four-member investigative subcommittee Tuesday to investigate the 1997 incident. McDermott was ranking Democrat on the ethics committee at the time, and the panel was investigating the conduct of then-Speaker Newt Gingrich, R-Ga.
The incident began when a Florida couple taped Rep. John Boehner of Ohio, who was using his cell phone to discuss the case with other Republicans. The tape ended up in McDermott's hands and subsequently was leaked to reporters.
Boehner sued McDermott in federal court. U.S. District Judge Thomas Hogan concluded earlier this year that McDermott was responsible for the leak and ordered the Washington lawmaker to pay Boehner for "willful and knowing misconduct" that "rises to the level of malice." Boehner said the payment could total about $600,000.
McDermott is challenging the ruling in a federal appeals court.
Responding to a complaint filed by Rep. David Hobson, R-Ohio, Hefley and Mollohan said the subcommittee would consider whether "McDermott's conduct violated the House Code of Official conduct," which requires members to conduct themselves "at all times in a manner which shall reflect creditably on the House of Representatives."
The investigative panel also will consider whether McDermott ran afoul of a government ethics code, and committee rules barring improper disclosures and protecting confidential information.
Rep. Judy Biggert, R-Ill., will head the panel. Other members are Reps. Lucille Roybal-Allard, D-Calif.; Phil English, R-Pa., and Robert Scott, D-Va. The subcommittee will report its findings to the full ethics panel, officially the Committee on Standards of Official Conduct.
Why not just wait and do the investigation posthumiously?
And the sooner the better. :-)
Gee .. it only took what ... 7 years to get around to doing this??
This'll go nowhere. Only 7 years after the fact? Wow, the US Congresscritters are really moving on it, aren't they?
House Ethics did nothing at the time. Why has it stuck its head up so late in the game? Because the law suit has succeeded against McDermott in civil court at the appeals level. In short, the real world has rubbed the nose of House Ethics in the mess it has made on the carpet.
They are setting up to do something, anything, now to try to sweep under the rug a situation of one Member recovering serious damages from another Member for what the latter did in violation of criminal and civil law. House Ethics? BFD.
Congressman Billybob
Click for latest, "Jon Stewart, You Magnificent B*stard! I Read Your Book!"
It took 7 years to go through the courts.
Now that the decision is made, it is the time to bring the needed consequences to McDermott's career.
Isn't McDermott about due for another trip to Iraq? Saddam may need a visit from his friend. Maybe he and Scott Ritter can grab the same flight - they share the same money bag!
Maybe they'd even get around to reading it before they pass it--
They plan on censuring him on June 14, 2419.
Hang on to your hats!
How? The House members and their staff are paid salaries, not by the hour.
I'm sorry .. but if the ethic committee had problems with what McDermott did ... it should have been addressed years ago
At this rate .. how long will it take them to deal with what that traitor did in going to Iraq like he did??
20 years??
I know. Kinda mute now isn't it? Jeeze the House is real quick - I can feel the wind when they go by. Woooosh!
Why just McDermott? What not 90% of the democratic party caucus? Is it ethical to be a communist and anti-American?
Oh, I know, Free Speech! Anti-American activists do not belong in Congress!
Gee, the House "Ethics" Committee doesn't have a 7-year statute of limitations? Well, at least this silly "investigation" of scumbag McDermott might keep some of the House members out of other mischief. Like spending, spending, spending....
I'm perfectly happy to take what I can get. If they nail Baghdad Jim with a seven-year-old offense, that's just fine with me. It's like what they used to say to us as kids when we were punished for something we didn't do: "Well, if you didn't do it, just consider it as punishment for something you DID do!" McDermott has done more than enough other things to deserve any punishment he gets.
They do have the excuse that what was once an allegation is now a proven crime, although I think even that angle could have been dealt with some time ago.
Which traitor are you refering to?
And it'll take another 7 to sentence him!
"The House members and their staff are paid salaries, not by the hour."
How will this benefit the United States? What will we gain from it? If we take back a month's salary from everyone of these idiots and tell them to spend that month at home working on their lawns, how much can we reduce taxes?
This is the political effect of goofing off on the job. I'm sick of it. If there isn't pressing national business to attend to, they can just stay home and play these political games on their own dime and quit taking mine.
I love this whole scenario as it will put the House Ethics Committee into a hysterical tizzy trying to find a loophole in the rules so their bud can get off.
So what if he's already been found guilty in a court of law. The Law and ethics are two wholly different things, doncha know?
Well, it's about damn time!
"Why not just wait and do the investigation posthumiously?"
I agree that this has taken way too long-he must've crapped in somebody's messkit to start this so late.
McDermott has put out an urgent fundraising letter that has been linked on DU. Too bad they threw what they had down a rathole on phony ballot issues. They're tapped.
7 years if you're in Congress, Son.
Here's a link to FrontPageMag...Baghdad Bonior.
As if that is going to happen....
Which is all you need to know about DemoRats.
while the committee is at it, why don't they investigate possible connections between McDermott and the obvious election fraud committed in King County to snatch the governorship from duly elected Republican Dino Rossi. McDermott's constituents are exactly the sorts who vote twice or thrice under names of all their multiple personalities.
Nail his Saddamn loving A
He's worthless, but the people in his district (7th) don't get it, and will keep voting him in.
Just for info to show what a butthead he really is.
May 1, 2004 Rep. Jim McDermott Assailed for Omitting God from Pledge of Allegiance
On April 27, Representative Jim McDermott, Democrat from Seattle, was given an assignment by Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi's office: Open the House session with the obligatory recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance, a task that rotates among House members.
When McDermott delivered the pledge, he omitted saying the words "Under God," and that created an uproar.
Representative Pete Sessions, Republican of Texas, blamed McDermott for "embarrassing the House and disparaging the majority of Americans who share the values expressed in the pledge," ....more here
IMO, the house ethics committee has a different definition of ethics than I do; it probably will come to naught.
...and having McDimwit spend a couple of years (hopefully) in court would only be good for the country. I heard this wacko say on a local liberal radio talk show that the Rs were responsible for the Bin Laden tape that aired just before the election. In his puny, perverted mind they did this so the Democrats would be scared to come out of their houses on election day, thus assuring a Bush win.
Note to Jim: Why would only the Democrats be scared? Oh, because Democrats are whiners and wimps and girlie men. Which is apparently why Democrat "men" now have two women Senators and one woman governor in Washington State. They now have three additional "mommies" to take care of them!
Do you think we'll wait 7 years for Sandy Berger's lapse of memory?
Do you think we'll wait 7 years for Sandy Berger's lapse of memory?
NO! It's called accountability. Better to start with a person who was willing to cow-tow to Saddam - and totally destroy the guy's credibility.
McDermott? Wasn't he one of the Slime-Ball Senators who went to Iraq before the war in support of Saddam, and slammed the US and Bush?
Traitor that he is. (forgot to add that one!)
From the article:
U.S. District Judge Thomas Hogan concluded earlier this year that McDermott was responsible for the leak...
Looks as though the House was, reasonably, waiting for the court system to issue a finding before proceeding with an 'internal House matter'. It would be unseemly, and honestly presumptious, to issue an ethics ruling with a case pending in Federal court. Now that there has been a finding of fault in this case, the House has grounds to pursue the ethics complaint.
Traitor....he wears the name well.
The pay's the same, poke or not. ;-)
What's the rush?
