Sophie's Beautiful Bibliophile Room
Ideal Bookshelf 1, which I bought off 20x200. I fell in love with the print the moment I saw it because it features so many books that we already had in Sophie's collection. Sophie is always thrilled to look at it because she recognizes so many of her books just from the spines alone. It's framed atop a display bookcase that we also brought back with us from Michigan. We felt it was important that Sophie have a display bookcase so that she can see the book covers with ease when she picks the books she wants us to read to her. We rotate the books weekly so other books get a chance to be picked as well. Initially, when we first started buying books with book jackets, I found them such a bother and Sophie would always pull them out anyway. But then I started saving the book jackets of books that Sophie really enjoys reading and got the idea to frame them as wall art. The frames are just simple and affordable NYTTJA ones from Ikea. The Madeline books are a perennial favorite in our house and the doll was a gift from my sister to Sophie on her second birthday. It's found the perfect home in Sophie's new room. Lovely - thanks Serene! (Images: reader Serene) • MY ROOM ARCHIVE • SUBMIT A BABY OR KID'S SPACE

Forty-five years ago today, Sunday, October 20, 1968, former First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy married Greek shipping tycoon Aristotle Onassis.
Many people still speculate about why she did.
Often overlooked in the pondering is the fact that the wedding took place less than five months after the assassination of Robert F. Kennedy during his campaign for the Democratic presidential nomination. As his sister-in-law Jackie Kennedy had not merely supported his candidacy out of family loyalty but had encouraged him personally as they struggled in the aftermath of President Kennedy's assassination.
In the early months of 1964, shortly after her husband was been killed, Jackie had convinced, even pushed Bobby to remain in national politics and "finish what Jack wanted to do," including withdrawal of the U.S. military presence in Vietnam.
The June 5, 1968 assassination of Bobby Kennedy was not only a personal loss for his sister-in-law, but the death of her cautious optimism about the nation's future. She saw aspects of the culture collapsing into one obsessed with violence and danger.

Most rapid growth and decline in employment by county, December 2004-December 2005
July 27, 2006
Lee County, Florida, which includes Fort Myers, had the biggest over-the-year percentage increase in employment among the largest counties in the U.S in December 2005.
Employment increased by 9.2 percent in Lee County from December 2004 to December 2005. Kern, California, just north of Los Angeles County, and Pasco, Florida, which is north of Tampa, had the next largest increases. The nation as a whole experienced a job growth rate of 1.7 percent.
The largest percentage declines in employment occurred in the greater New Orleans area and along the Mississippi Gulf Coast. The largest percentage decline was in Orleans Parish, Louisiana (-39.3 percent), followed by the county of Harrison, Mississippi, which includes the cities of Biloxi and Gulfport, and Jefferson Parish, Louisiana. These employment losses reflected the devastation caused by Hurricane Katrina.
The BLS Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages program produced these data, which are preliminary and subject to revision. Employment data presented here are for all workers covered by State and Federal unemployment insurance programs. The largest counties are those with employment levels of 75,000 or more—there are 322 such counties in the U.S. Find out more in "County Employment and Wages: Fourth Quarter 2005" (PDF) (TXT), news release 06-1275.

Posted by Kevin Arnovitz
Alonzo Mourning called it quits yesterday. The seven-time NBA All-Star goes out as the Miami Heat's all-time leader in games played, points, rebounds, blocked shots, and field-goal percentage. He battled opposing centers, Larry Johnson, and a kidney transplant during his 15-year career. TrueHoop caught up with 'Zo this morning.
Retiring from the game was one of the biggest events of your life. Was there a single moment when you made the decision?
To tell you the truth, it was a collection of events -- a lot of subliminal messages and conversations with people that evolved over a year of rehabilitation. I was getting pretty close to getting back on the court. I was running and jumping. My legs were getting stronger. I started to see that light at the end of the tunnel.
Then, this week, I went to Washington for the inauguration. Everyone there was excited about the moment. People would come up to me. They'd ask for an autograph or if they could take a picture with me. Almost everyone I met, after we'd take the photo, they'd ask me, "How's your health?" This struck a chord with me. I suddenly realized how important my health is. I started to think -- I want to be on this earth for another 40 or 50 years, and I want those years to be productive. I want to be healthy. I don't want to walk around with a limp. Most of all, I want to watch my kids grow up.
Now that your pro career is over, is there any part of your game you feel like you never perfected?
Looking back at my career, I can think of a million people who would've loved to have walked the path I did. Everything that was supposed to happen, happened. I can't tell you, "I wish I did this," or, "I wish I'd perfected a three-point shot." I lived a storybook career.
Even the incidents that weren't positive at the time. The fight in New York? It made me a better person, because wisdom is developed through adversity. The things that weren't perfect? They were all part of making me a better person and a better player.
Will it be painful for you to watch the pro game and know you'll never compete at that level again?
It'll never be painful because every athlete I watch will eventually reach this point, where they call it quits. I'm grateful that I got to be part of history, that I helped to build a global brand that has become the most popular sport in the world. I feel like I gave all I could physically to the sport. I had to overcome so many obstacles.
That's one thing I'd change if I could go back: I'd take out all the injuries. Injuries are devastating. So many guys are fortunate enough to go through their careers without significant injuries. I wasn't that lucky, but I was able to come back from every single one of them.
How are you going to feed your competitiveness on a daily basis now that you won't be playing ball?
I found something else that challenges me other than my children: I've become an avid golfer. That feeds the competitiveness. It's also very relaxing because there are no other competitors out there but yourself. It's also humbling. That little white ball can bring you to your knees. It doesn't always go where you want it to go. But you can golf for the rest of your life. There's also my philanthropic work. That's a challenge in itself because there's so much work to be done in changing people's lives for the better. That's a big initiative.
In general, how are you feeling?
I feel great -- like a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders. I don't have to worry about rebounding, setting a screen, running a play, catching any elbows. I don't have to worry about putting a bunch of icebags on me. All I have to do now is take my kids to school, work on my golf swing, and do my philanthropy. Every athlete wants to leave their mark on the game and know they've done as much as they could for their craft. I've done that. I'm able to walk away from the game with a sense of fulfillment, and I'm looking forward to starting another chapter of my life.
You're now working as a key member of the advisory council for the McDonald's All-American Game. Can you tell us a little more about the game's importance as a rite of passage for the best young basketball players in the country?
One thing people may not realize is that the McDonald's All-American game is not just a showcase of the best talent in the country. It's also a platform where players get their first understanding of what it means to give back. The proceeds of the game go to the local chapters of the Ronald McDonald House, which benefits local families. Players arrive knowing they're the best in the nation. But that week before the game is about players understanding that the game is as much about community service as it is about basketball. Philanthropy makes the world go 'round. The more young players can understand that, the more successful they'll be in becoming not just complete players, but complete human beings.
You've put together a list of the top 33 best McDonald's All-American Game alums? What criteria did you use in choosing the players?
It was very difficult, because I didn't want to insult anybody. I based the list on a balance of talent on the court, along with your contributions off the court. Giving back was a huge factor, because that's what the McDonald's All-American Game signifies. We wanted individuals who brought a humanitarian approach to their craft.
What do you tell young players who might be very, very good, but may not realize that they're not pro-caliber players? Are you honest with them?
First, I tell them that all of this is short-lived, whether you make it to the NBA or not. Everyone aspires to the NBA, but most aren't going to make it. There are only 450 NBA players. Due to the fact that the game has expanded globally, international players now make up about 25% of those -- so that makes it even tougher. I tell them to work on their game, but at the same time think about their education. You've got to have something to fall back on. And you have to be of service to your community. All these things have to be factored into your development.
How has the game changed in the 20-plus years since you graduated high school?
It's a much more perimeter-oriented game. There are no more big men. Everyone wants to be a perimeter guy! When I came up, it was me, Patrick Ewing, David Robinson, Rik Smits, Kevin Duckworth, Robert Parish. The list goes on forever. Now more and more players want to resemble the Michael Jordan style of player. You see it at the McDonald's game. The transition has been
interesting. But there will always be a place for big men. Having an impactful perimeter player is important, but Dwyane Wade, LeBron James -- none of those guys win unless they have a big man playing with them who is truly controlling.
There's an interesting scene in your new book, Resilience, about your being out in Miami with your wife, Tracy. It depicts you as very standoffish and unapproachable. There's a quote from you: "I was once young and naïve and trusted everyone and it almost cost me everything." What did you mean and has that changed for you over the years?
At such a young age, you're gullible. You let everyone into your circle. Coming out of high school, everyone wanted to be a part of my life. I came to the big city -- Washington, D.C. -- with blinders on. I didn't understand what the world had to offer. I developed relationships that almost cost me my life. I had to learn from that. So I walled myself off. I walked around with my guard up and a very standoffish attitude. But though maturation, I eventually grew out of that phase. I started surrounding myself with the right people and developed a different mindset. I became a much wiser person. But it was a process.
Some of the more interesting characters in your book are John Thompson and Shaquille O'Neal.
Coach Thompson was a godsend. He was a father figure to me. He played a significant role in my development, not just in basketball, but as a person.
Shaquille and I never thought we'd be teammates. Ever. We were very hypocritical about our ideas toward one another until we got a chance to be teammates and share a common bond. We're the same type of guy mentally and physically -- though I thought I had a better body than him. We had the same goals and shared a common vision both on and off the court. We both want to help people and leave our mark on the game. We were able to establish a great partnership and good things evolved from it all.

Having four children, I had been with many Pediatricians all over the U.S. However, it has been experienced that Dr. Qing Dong, MD, PhD is a brilliant outstanding Pediatrician, highly knowledgeable, who knows exactly what she is doing. She spends enough time with the child (not in a hurry or money minded Pediatrician like others!), treat the children very well to their needs. No doubt, she is the #1 in the Bay area. The office stafff are also very courteous, speedy and no unnecesary waiting time. You and your children will love Dr. Dong and your visit will be much more easy. She deserves 100 out of 100!
I have seen many doctors since my family has moved around the country a few times. I have been in the care of many outstanding pediatricians. Dr. Dong is truly the most patient, kind, and astute physician I have ever seen. Her office is very calming and friendly. She really took the time to get to know me and my siblings individually, my parents and even my grandparents! When I was sick, she went out of her way help me get better. There is no one my family & I trust more than Dr. Dong!
The best Pediatrician who cares your child with great patient. She also gives good suggestion on how to raising your child which is very helpful for the first-time parent.

Residents of the Village of Clay Center have until Dec. 11 to weigh in on the future of their post office.
The Wheeling Street Bridge, closed since earlier this year for major improvements, opened last week.
"I really wanted to get Wheeling Street open for Thanksgiving. That really was our goal," said Public Service Director Paul Roman at a council meeting last month.
One week after touring the middle and high school buildings to see how they would absorb elementary classes, the Benton-Carroll-Salem school board approved a resolution to close Carroll and Graytown schools for the 2012-13 school year.
Board members also gave their approval for the district to implement single-route busing for the 2012-13 school year. Currently, the district uses two routes in the morning – one for the high school and middle school – and another for elementary students as well as one route in the afternoon.
Members of a committee formed last year to review the structure of Lucas County government and is advocating the election of a single, unifying leader for the county, appeared before Oregon City Council last month to present its recommendations.
The committee supports a political structure that would contribute to reversing the economic decline of the region by facilitating concerted, collaborative efforts to reduce costs, eliminate duplication, and encourage regional cooperation.

Ethics QUEST
(Updated to 6/15)
2014's most popular three-hour legal ethics seminar, Ethics Quest covers some areas of legal ethics that the Rules never anticipated, along with some traditional minefields, as well as cutting edge legal ethics technology problems, such as best practices—if there are best practices, in the use of iphones, apps, technology user agreements and more. The new, updated 2015 version explores some tectonic upheavals in the law of conflicts of interest, as well as social media perils for lawyers that nobody saw coming and the legal ethics applications of the Supreme Court's dilemma in King v. Burwell
The Legal Ethics Funhouse
(Updated to 6/15)
The Funny, Scary Legal Ethics Game Show!
[Note: this format requires a volunteer panel three (glib, ideally engaging and knowledgeable) attorneys with a solid knowledge of legal ethics]
(Four, three or two hours)
A strange and funny, lightening- paced CLE ethics seminar in the format of a panel game show. Three distinguished practitioners/ expert/ contestants answer and discuss legal ethics questions, hypotheticals and dilemmas posed in various diabolical ways by the Legal Ethics Host, who will involve the audience in competition with the panel as well as lively debate on current legal ethics issues. The CLE program is a parody of a parody, inspired by NPR's humor and current events panel show "Wait…Wait! Don't Tell Me!"

NEW! Ethics Rock Extreme: From the opening strains of the Queen parody medley, to an audience sing-along to the ethical dilemma-filled parody of Billy Joel's "Piano Man" (a sing-along!)

His colleagues were swatting deer flies and chatting about the moss and microbes under their feet, but their English, soil ecologist Fung Hu of Nanjing, China, acknowledged, was proving difficult for him.
And so Fung, 51, trailed behind, photographing the vast, windswept meadow in the New Jersey Pinelands where they all stood.
"Very sandy soil," he observed.
Indeed. And that's about all many New Jerseyans know of the 1.1 million-acre ecosystem known as the Pinelands.
But to members of the international Soil Ecology Society, who toured its meadows, bogs, hummocks, and hilltops Wednesday, the "barrens" of New Jersey are anything but.

By accessing our user-friendly platform, businesses can measure everything that is being said on social networks about any Destination in order to fully understand tourist perception and satisfaction, and stay ahead of market trends and demand-drivers.
For any given destination Socialvane is able to automatically detect the main origins of the people who are talking about its experiences and offerings. This data is displayed in a way that makes it really easy to perform comparative analyses to understand source-market particularities.
For any source market or demand driver, Socialvane is able to understand gender and age distributions helping us to get a full picture of our target markets. When it comes to analyzing key market trends, this is a key segmentation asset.
Using the latest technology available, we have built our own semantic system able to detect key demand drivers. This makes it possible to accurately measure how sensitive some markets segments are to specific destination offerings and get a clear understanding of a destinations perceived positioning.
Some of the most spoken about touristic attractions may not be that obvious; in order to really know which attractions people like the most, we have built an algorithm that uses geo-tagged data and heat-maps to automatically sort those attractions.
Apart from understanding key market trends in a specific destination, it is extremely important to compare those trends against similar destinations in order to fully understand key differentiating assets.
The most important one; measures the overall satisfaction with the destination.
Measures how satisfied people are with destination offerings.

Pregnant Kate Middleton in Hospital With Hyperemesis Gravidarum: What is it?
Category: World
/ Dec 03, 2012 2:48PM EDT
Media were surrounding a central London hospital on Monday (December 3) waiting for news about the pregnant Duchess of Cambridge. The statement said Kate Middleton was in the King Edward VII Hospital in Central London suffering from Hyperemesis gravidarum, a very acute morning sickness where the Duchess is likely to remain there for several days. According to ABC News, experts say the extreme morning sickness is usually diagnosed about nine weeks into the pregnancy, and in most cases resolves itself by 16 or 20 weeks. In rare cases, it can last the whole pregnancy. A statement said Kate's condition required supplementary hydration and nutrients, but there was no detail about when the baby was due, just that the pregnancy was in its early stages. The announcement that Prince William and Catherine were expecting a baby was made by Clarence House on Monday. "Their Royal Highnesses The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are very pleased to announce that The Duchess of Cambridge is expecting a baby," the office said in a statement. "The Queen, The Duke of Edinburgh, The Prince of Wales, The Duchess of Cornwall and Prince Harry and members of both families are delighted with the news." The couple, officially known as the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, married in April last year, prompting a global media frenzy and there has been much speculation, particularly in U.S. gossip magazines, about a possible pregnancy.

Funding Unsuccessful
This project's funding goal was not reached on February 29, 2012.
Hey we're CHON from San Diego California and we're starting this kickstarter project so we can record a full length album!!
This project's funding goal was not reached on February 29, 2012.
It's time for a full length CHON album. We've been writing like crazy lately and we want to share this awesome stuff with you, but we have no money to go into the studio and record it! That's why we need your help with funding the recording of this album. Once we've reached our goal, we will go into the studio and produce the new record and put it up on our Bandcamp page once it is ready. Then, all the album sales will go towards a home studio so we can put out CHON songs whenever we please!
You guys are freakin cool and we can't wait for you to hear this!
Have a question? If the info above doesn't help, you can ask the project creator directly.

Dāku Sheimu wa fukou daa.
As for Dark Shame, it is misforturne.
Tip Tip
10,282 total episodes
XDDD Daw thank you I actually just uploaded one of those...um room tour things if you want to see it. XD thought I didn't take any close up figure pictures and my camera skills leave much to be desired. XD;
Also i think that's hillarious we happened to be both watching HunterxHunter I have barely started though I'm only on like episode 7 I'm curious how different the versions we are watching actually are. An no I didn't order Hisoka yet because i made myself not be allowed to buy any figure without watching the show they're in. XD Though I'm loving his character so far. I also really like Killua for some reason xD;;
Finally letting me respond gaaah it's so frustrating. It wouldn't load your page at all :< and I actually uploaded a picture of my little Ace section to MFC >:D >_< Crappy Cellphone Picture! http://myfigurecollection.net/image/Gothlequin1349989639.jpeg I didn't include my strong world ace because i just didn't think he fit in right....I'll have to take time and do some better pictures. Also i think that Ace if he had to choose to die anyway he would have chosen to die in Luffy or Sabo's place so i think in that respect he was happy. Not to mention he felt worth something at the end which he never did before. ;A; Gwaaah aaceeeeeeee Also I totally need to take a piccy of croccy >_<bHave you been up to anything interesting or watched anything else good lately? I started watching the anime Hunter x Hunter because i was in love with this figure when it came up http://myfigurecollection.net/item/109881 *U* I love clown type of things like that...not the creepy ones with red noses ....xD I actually like it so far it's a typical Shonen but it's cute i like the characters in it. I could see myself becoming addicted to it pretty easily. Though I'm watching the newer remake version of it. Part of me wanted to watch the original but i heard it ends weird and the new one follows the manga. O-O I hadn't watched anime in a month so it was about time I started something!~
Not when the main character drove me as crazy as she did.
What's the matter? Couldn't handle Fahrenheit 451, the anime?(I didn't like it either).
Hihihi~ How was your weekend of kdrama? xD Personal Taste is really hard not to like, but I'm glad you enjoyed it!
And ooh, link to profile? I STILL haven't updated mine all the way. But then it took me like 3 months to do my ap.com list properly. The downside of watching a lot of stuff.
Heartstrings was like the sweetest thing ever ;_; Also LOL, your little brother watches kdrama with you? That's so awesome. The closest I got is getting mine to listen to kpop xD He now listens to more kpop than me D: Not sure if that's a good thing. How much younger is yours?
I want to watch Love Rain... I do. But idk why I don't like the actor very much. Even in You're Beautiful... he was hard to like. Pretty sure that's just me though =(
Haha I can't believe Goong is still going. Well, no. I can. But then I've been keeping up with Naruto for more than 10 years o_o And you're a One Piece fan? I have never really tried getting into that... one day though, I think I will marathon it. Totally doable, right? xP And shounen~ I like shounen at times. It's pretty entertaining. And idk, isn't there a lot of shounen this season? Are you watching any of it?
Also, also! Have you read the manga for Kodocha? I can't remember, but I think the anime pretty much followed it. And what did you think of the ending for Kodocha?
And that reminds me... I didn't think Mischievous Kiss (Itazura na Kiss kdrama style) was GREAT. But it was cute.
Gakuen Alice has one convoluted plot xD And the scanlations for the manga are sooo bad. One day I'd really like to figure out what happened in the end. But I think it got licensed =/ And hehe Natsume. It's weird to fangirl a little kid but I totally do. He is so funny xD
Hmm... I think there was a live action that was good... and then one that wasn't. But I can't remember which was which ;_; I wish I could be of more help. Oh, did you prefer the anime or the manga for Nana? And OMG I can't wait for it come back. I want to know how it ends!
This is why manga sometimes annoys me. It takes so long for it all to come out. =( And this message is long enough for now. But one day, I will look at your read list for Manga xD

Skip to comments.JAMES ARNESS
Posted on 10/27/2006 3:58:44 AM PDT by 7thson
Did anyone catch BOR last night? He has a new weekly segment highlighting a TV icon. Last night he had James Arness - Matt Dillon from Gunsmoke. Mr. Arness is 83 years old. He is a very humble man, from what I saw of the mini-interview. I also found out that he was in WW II, wounded at Anzio, and spent 18 months in recuperation.
That was one of my favorite westerns growing up. When I was a little kid, it would confuse the hell out of me when Bruce Dern kept on showing up in different episodes. I was always thinking - didn't Matt kill this guy already.
Here are two trivia items concerning him from IMDB -
Very, very often during his career, this huge actor was surrounded by co-stars standing on apple boxes or had to perform standing in a ditch just so he could be in a shot.
His status as a Republican disappointed Lady Bird Johnson, who was a fan of "Gunsmoke" (1955).
I saw him. It was good to see him again. There were a lot
of great episodes on the old series.
I do not watch BOR, but stopped when I realized to he was talking to. I would have never recognized James Arness if I had not seen his name on the screen.
No lines, but what a presence :)
Dern and his big, snarling teeth were a fixture on TV westerns.
He gave a few good grunts, growls and groans. ;o)
I caught the interview. Mr. Arness was very well spoken. When they panned to a wide shot of the set, I chuckled when I saw he was wearing sneakers. Hey, when you're 83, you wear whatever is comfortable.
His brother is Peter Graves(Mission Impossible). They both have aged very well-must come from good stock.
I usually at least start to listen to bor - until he starts bashing W, then I turn him off.
Kaiser Wilhelm actually sent materials to fix up the town when it burned to the ground in the middle of Winter.
I'd just guess a lot of people from that town left for America about that time.
Yes, he was. That was another good sci-fi flick. Good effects for that period, too.
If that's all that disappointed her during the Johnson Administration then I feel sorry for her.
He also co-starred in "Big Jim McLain" with John Wayne.
It's not one of Wayne's best, but it's one of my favorites.
It's pretty cool :)
BOR was showing old scenes from Gunsmoke during the interview - from the 50's. In one scene, Matt is breaking up some type of confrontation around a table in the bar. The guy he is talking to is a young Charles Bronson. It's great when you watch the old television programs and see young versions of Lee Marvin, Charles Bronson, Jack Warden, et al.
What would she expect from a John Wayne protege?
James Arness also starred in the Mini-Series 'How the West was Won' as Zeb Macahon. Good series..~!
I saw Peter Graves on a Geico commercial the other day (Graves is Arness' brother.)
My hubby and I were remarking how well Graves looked, and I was wondering how Arness was fairing. Glad to hear he's
doing so well.
Those aside, it was a great, great western and it taught a lot of people about good and evil, standing up for truth and justice, and that - yes - you had to use violence to stomp on evil. As BOR said - Arness and John Wayne played the same type of character - big, strong, silent types who kicked the snot out of bad guys!
Thanks! What a nice website!
Makes me wish for the good ol' days of just three networks with quality content.
Yeah, me too. Thanks goodness for nostalgia TV and DVDs.
Kewl beans! Thanks!
He was in one of our family's favorite horror flicks: Them.
Thanks for the link!
what's a BOR?
I googled BOR???
I got:
Board of Registry
Burnt Orange Report
Bureau of Reclamation
Someone please help this unsavy TV watcher....what the hell it means....PS I was watching the World Series last nite and not one BOR showed up.
Here is his bio from IMDB -
At various times in his life a rancher, deputy sheriff and rodeo performer, this huge, towering (6' 5") beast of a man was born George Glenn Strange in Weed, New Mexico, on August 16, 1899, but grew up a real-life cowboy in Cross Cut, Texas. Of Irish and Cherokee Indian descent, he taught himself (by ear) the fiddle and guitar at a young age and started performing at local functions as a teen. In the late 1920s, Glenn and his cousin, Taylor McPeters, better known later as the western character actor Cactus Mack, joined a radio singing group known as the "Arizona Wranglers" that toured throughout the country. They both started providing singing fillers in film westerns in the early 1930s. Glenn would play extra or bit roles for a number of years -- whether a cowhand, rustler, henchman, sidekick, or harmonica-blowing warbler. Eventually in the late 30s his billing improved and he evolved into a full-time bad guy in hundreds of "B" westerns. He was seen (or glimpsed) in many of the popular western serials of the day, including The Hurricane Express (1932), Law of the Wild (1934), The Lone Ranger Rides Again (1939), and Riders of Death Valley (1941). It was his massive build that helped him break into the Universal horror picture genre of the 1940s. Boris Karloff had grown weary and fearful of his Frankenstein Creature typecast and abandoned the role. Glenn was the perfect man for the job and made his monstrous debut with House of Frankenstein (1944), quickly followed by House of Dracula (1945). It was he who played the Creature in the cult horror/comedy classic Bud Abbott Lou Costello Meet Frankenstein (1948) as part of the monstrous trio alongside Bela Lugosi's Dracula and 'Lon Chaney, Jr.' 's Wolf Man. As the B western faded off into the sunset in the 1950s, Strange moseyed on over to TV work, capping off his career with a steady, albeit minor, role as Sam the bartender on the classic "Gunsmoke" (1955) series from 1962 until shortly before his death from lung cancer in 1973.
Bill O'Reilly
I use BOR because people on FR use it. I thought it was recognizalbe but I guess I was wrong.
I never did either. Maybe, when we watched it, we just absorbed it as the Matt Dillon character.
Bad guy reaches for his gun...what does Matt Dillon always say?
The longest running dramatic series ever produced - 20 years !
It is great untill I remember that I was a much younger version of ME at that time. ;]
The headline scared me for a moment, I thought something had happened to him. You can order his autobiography on his website. The biography channel has also has showcased him. He's one of the few good ones still around.
Speaking of Arness and his role in "The Thing", I once read an interview with Ken Tobey in which he described playing a part in a "Gunsmoke" episode. Arness, according to Tobey, didn't speak to Tobey about their working together in "The Thing" BUT a half hour before Tobey's part in the episode would have finished, Arness declared he was too tired to work any more. The scene had to be completed the next day which meant Tobey got an extra's day pay.
"He was great in The Thing, an excellent early '50s sci-fi flick."
Yeah, he looked like a giant carrot.
Saw a segment a few weeks back on BIO on his brother....very close family and very well respected.....

Still not sure if I will be participating in the entire BOM, but I am glad to contribute a July block. I've missed this!
What advice would you give someone starting this project? Follow Laura Nownes' instructions... she is a calm and detailed teacher. Above all, be very attentive in selecting the proper fabrics. You must have an arrangement of light, medium, and dark value to get the 3-D effect. Press the seams open. Use a spritz of spray starch to help keep the bias cuts from stretching. If you want to try a hollow block, go for it! Just be prepared to have a LOT more seams to iron open! Also, you will have to be very diligent about getting everything lined up in the proper order. There is a lot of planning involved! It is a bit of a brain teaser!! :)
What a gorgeous block - simply stunning!
I started this project yesterday, my first tumbling block, thank you, loving it.
Where in the lessons are the instructions for making the hollow blocks? I'd love to try my hand at this.
Hi dinxdeb58, The hollow block was not included in the official lesson, it was a modification that some of us tried, and shared. I was sure I shared the link here, when I first posted this project in 2013, but now I don't see it. Craftsy has reformatted the project pages since then, and apparently the info was deleted. I remember it was a you tube video for the Hollow Block tutorial. When I have time I will try to search it out again, and if I succeed in tracking it down I will return to this page an post the link for you.
OK, here is a link for the You Tube video tutorial for Penny Halgren"s Hollow Cube Quilt Block: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FgfzxzwTzro
Absolutely love it.. And the transparent block in centre is so effective.. Huge well done !!

Cannes Film Festival winners
It's Memorial Day here. But its the end of the Cannes Film Festival there, where at about 6 p.m., winners of the festival competition were announced.
Winners are, according to The Wrap:
Listen: My weekly Movie Minute - Ebert
The passing of newspaper and television film critic Roger Ebert Thursday from cancer at the age of 70 stirred this personal, somewhat trivial memory of him. Listen.
Borgnine was first American to win top award at Cannes
Although later in life he was known as star of the TV sitcom "McHale's Navy" and as a clown in Milwaukee's Circus Parade, the late Ernest Borgnine, who died Sunday at the age of 95, also had two remarkable achievements in film as the star of "Marty."
The film, directed by Delbert Mann, was adapted from a TV play written by Paddy Chayevsky. When its star, Rod Steiger, refused to work in the adaptation, producer Burt Lancaster hired Borgnine, with whom he worked on "From Here to Eternity."
Borgnine went on to win the best actor Oscar in 1956 for his role as the lonely working-class guy who finds love. It was his first and only nomination. »Read Full Blog Post

Wes Anderson's "Moonrise Kingdom" opens Cannes. Watch trailer.
One sure sign of spring is a renewed activity in the movie world, of which the disappointing "John Carter" is hopefully an anomaly.
The late April start of the summer movie season is slightly more than a month away.
And the Cannes Film Festival, cinema's crown jewel, begins May 16. Cannes is a platform for both commercial and artistic films, many of which receive exhibition and accolades in wider release. »Read Full Blog Post

And "Slumdog," nominated for ten Oscars, just won seven BAFTA awards, including outstanding film, director for Danny Boyle, screenplay, music, cinematography, editing and sound, from the British Academy of Film and Television Afrs.

The clip being a hostage from Where in the World Is Osama Bin Laden? (2008) Maybe that's a good thing. Because if I'm going to find Osama, I'm traveling to scary places. In the last year, the State Department issued over 100 warnings about traveling to the Middle East. Mainly because Americans are now bigger targets for kidnapping and murder. Now we're going to have a little classroom time about kidnapping. Here are some basics of surviving as a hostage. You got to accept it and start planning on how you're going to survive it. Speak only if spoken to. Is this the crew's, the cameraman's? No. Don't provoke the captors. Don't stare at them. Don't have a harsh tone of voice. Don't be argumentative. Don't have an attitude. These people are in control, not you. This is not a fucking game. Especially when you're in Baghdad, Kabul, or you're in Turkey, this stuff is going on daily, and you gotta be prepared for it. I'm usually a pretty calm person when it comes to... ...crazy shit happening around me. But that's a whole other level of crazy.

I am Keegs79 on that site. I did my first blog there.
I love 1up for its community and customization. Every page is very unique and that is a big deal to me. We all stand out more because of that. The biggest being the community and since a lot moved to Pixelbit, I felt its worth a shot. Pixelbit has a lot more options for blogging. We even have bullets. I don't understand why they ever disappeared here. I wish though there was Raptr so I don't have to include every single game I own. That would take forever.
As for gaming, I been playing mostly Dead Space 3. I been playing on hardcore and am at chapter 17. It hasn't been too tough. I also got myself a Wii U and obviously now, I am back in the States. I been here for about a year. Anyway, for more details about what I been up to, please head to my new blog. Take care everyone. I will always remember 1up. There hasn't been anything like it.

Android 2.0 and SDK
Google has brought its Linux-based operating system for mobile devices to version 2.0, with corresponding developer tools on hand.
Android 2.0 is considered a major release for smartphones with Android. The Android folks give November as the start date. Users and developers should find an assortment of enhancements. Developers will get a new API that is installable as of the Android 1.6 SDK. The Android developer website provides some guidance.
Among the enhancements in Android 2.0 is the possibility to add multiple accounts for synchronizing email and contacts, including Exchange accounts. Developers can also create sync adapters for additional data sources, whereby users can be provided bypasses to bottlenecks for synchronizing with services other than Exchange or Google Mail. Another new feature is Quick Contact, a widget that allows instant access via phone, SMS or email to a contact by clicking a photo or icon. Even the typing function was improved: the virtual keyboard should improve typing speed thanks to a new layout, including multi-touch support to prevent errors in two-finger mode.
Bluetooth 2.1 and its accompanying Object Push Profile (OPP) and Phone Book Access Profile (PBAP) promise improved wireless connections for Android 2.0.

In a last-minute move, Michael Camp changed his mind and pleaded no contest to a misdemeanor Monday, the day his trial was to begin.
"Now he can get on with his life," said Vance Ivy, Camp's attorney.
Camp, who no longer lives in Amarillo because of harassment, according to Ivy, did not appear in court.
Camp was charged with making false statements to police and giving a false name the night his son, Dustin Camp, violated his probation for killing Brian Deneke.
The charge Michael Camp admitted to, false identification to a police officer, arose from a June 16 situation in which Dustin Camp, 21, consumed alcohol, violated the law against underage drinking, evaded arrest and left his residence during curfew hours.
The plea bargain with the Randall County Criminal District Attorney's office calls for Michael Camp, 43, to serve 60 days deferred adjudication, a form of probation, and pay a $100 fine. If he successfully completes the unsupervised probation, the charge will be dismissed.
On Sept. 7, 108th District Judge Abe Lopez ruled Dustin Camp violated his probation because of the June 16 events and sentenced him to eight years in prison.
The original sentence was 10 years probation and a $10,000 fine for running over Deneke with a Cadillac during a 1997 melee in the Western Plaza parking lot.
A Randall County deputy transported Dustin Camp to the Randall County Jail several days ago from a prison in Fortt Stockton to testify in his father's trial. A deputy will return him to that facility in the near future, said Danny Alexander, spokesman for the Randall Sheriff's Department.
Prosecutors originally charged Michael Camp with making false statements to police officers for allegedly saying Dustin Camp was not at a party and did not consume alcohol the night of his arrest.
Dustin Camp's brother, David Camp, pleaded guilty Oct. 5 to two misdemeanors that arose from the June events. He is serving one year of probation for providing alcohol to minors and hindering police efforts to arrest Dustin Camp.

Ernest Fenollosa was born on February 18, 1853, in Salem, Massachusetts, to the Spanish-born Manuel Fenollosa, violinist and music teacher, and a local girl, Mary Silsbee. Manuel had converted to Anglicanism prior to their marriage two years earlier. There is little evidence that Fenollosa's Spanish provenance had any formative effect on his life. He was, however, a rather shy and scholarly boy who wrote poetry from his adolescence. He entered Harvard in the autumn of 1870, and was among the undergraduates founding a Spencer Club. In his graduate years he also discovered Hegel. These two thinkers formed the lodestars of his subsequent intellectual development. Thus, in 1906, in an editorial written in his sixtieth year for The …

CHARITON, Iowa – Palmer amaranth has now been confirmed in more than 30 counties in Iowa, in both conventional farm operations and in native seed mixes for conservation purposes.
CHARITON, Iowa – Palmer amaranth has now been confirmed in more than 30 counties in Iowa, in both conventional farm operations and in native seed mixes for conservation purposes. Farmers, crop consultants and those interested are encouraged to attend the Palmer amaranth identification workshop, hosted by Iowa State University Extension and Outreach field agronomists Rebecca Vittetoe and Aaron Saeugling. The one-hour workshop will occur on Oct. 3 at the Iowa State University McNay Memorial Research and Demonstration Farm near Chariton, Iowa at 1:30 p.m.
"With Palmer amaranth discoveries quickly increasing across the state, proper identification is key to controlling infestations and preventing movement to crop fields," said Vittetoe.
This workshop will discuss new discoveries of Palmer amaranth across the state, key traits to differentiate the common amaranth species in Iowa from Palmer amaranth, and management in both crop and non-crop areas. Handouts about Palmer amaranth identification will be provided.
"Farmers and scouts should be observing high-risk areas for Palmer amaranth, including areas with significant equipment movement, suspicious-looking waterhemp infestations, newly-seeded conservation plantings, and areas near animal agriculture operations," said Vittetoe.
This meeting is free and open to the public.
The McNay Memorial Research and Demonstration Farm is located at 45249 170th Ave. in Chariton, Iowa. Go south 4 miles on Highway 65 from the intersection of Highways 65 and 34, then 2.5 miles east on a gravel road and turn north 0.25 miles. The farm is located on the east side of the road.
For more information, please contact Aaron Saeugling at 712-769-2650, firstname.lastname@example.com or Rebecca Vittetoe at 319-653-4811, email@example.com.

WOHVA Monthly Updates
WOHVA Update October '13
Every month WOHVA provides our members and other motorized trail recreation advocates with this short synopsis of WOHVA's efforts to assure that environmentally responsible OHV recreational opportunities are expanded here the Badger State.
Joining business professionals from Forest County, WOHVA attended the Regular Monthly Membership Meeting of the Forest County Chamber of Commerce in Crandon, Wisconsin
Last month the Wisconsin Off-Road Vehicle Park (WORVPI) hosted six meetings to introduce their 10,000 acre off-road park project to stakeholder groups from Forest County and the State of Wisconsin. WOHVA participated in these meetings and remains at the forefront in promoting this recreational venue which will be of huge economic benefit to northern Wisconsin and provide the Badger State with a long awaited and much needed motorized trail recreation venue.
WOHVA participated in the regularly scheduled Wisconsin Off-Road Vehicle Park, Inc. (WORVPI) Monthly Directors Meeting in Crandon, Wisconsin. Meeting agenda and other important updates can be found on the WORVPI Web Site.
Damage, Inc. invited WOHVA to their monthly membership meeting. WOHVA was pleased to attend and share updates on the current state of all things off-road with Damage members in attendance.
An informational meeting was held at the Wisconsin State Capitol at which Wisconsin Off-Road Vehicle Park, Inc. (WORVPI) presented their Park Project to the Department of Administration, Department of Natural Resources, Department of Tourism, Legislators from Northern Wisconsin and the Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation. WOHVA was pleased to accompany WORVPI to the meeting and assist in presenting the project to the group assembled.
Legislation establishing a State 4WD Sticker Program here in the Badger State (AB369) was presented at a Public Hearing before the Wisconsin Assembly Committee on Natural Resources and Sporting Heritage at the State Capitol. WOHVA and representatives from numerous WOHVA Supporting Groups participated in the Hearing. A BIG WOHVA THANK YOU goes out to Jim Goeldner, Bryan Much, John Schnorr, Joe Van der Linden and Leann Van der Linden for attending this important hearing and showing solidarity for motorized trail recreation here in the Badger State.
The Wisconsin Off-Road Vehicle Park (WORVPI) hosted a meeting with the Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation (WEDC) to further develop Phase Two of WORVPI's Park Project. Phase Two of the Park Project includes securing commitments to acquire the park site.
The National Off-Highway Vehicle Conservation Council (NOHVCC) recently appointed two additional WOHVA Members Associate NOHVCC State Partners. Congratulations and thanks go out to Bryan Much and John Schnorr.
Off-Road enthusiasts from across the Badger State attended WOHVA's Fall Pipeline Trail Day on the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest. The day included gathering at the Lakewood/Laona Ranger District, Lakewood Offices, several hours of trail clean-up and a trail lunch provided by WOHVA. Volunteer trail activities like this go a long way towards keeping your trails open. Thanks to all these dedicated volunteers!
"Remember, join and advocate (that's) the two most important things that you can do!"
- Del Albright (April '09, WOHVA's 5th Annual Wisconsin OHV Enthusiast Workshops)
Mission Statement
The Wisconsin Off-Highway Vehicle Association exists for the sole purpose of proactively assuring that public and private off-highway motorized vehicular recreational opportunities are expanded in Wisconsin for safe use by this and future generations

Touch typing course for beginners.Would you like to save time and make almost any job on a computer more effective? Would you like to write on your résumé that you are a fast typist? Would you like to reduce your error percentage when you type? Well, then you have come to the right place.
Here: you can calculate your advantage in dollars of being able to type faster on your computer.
People who beginners at typing are forced to choose between either looking for the keys on the keyboard or think creatively. So - if you furthermore would like to think creatively as you type, read on.
Typing speed test.As a beginner you might want to start off by testing your current typing speed.
You can easily monitor your progress at learning touch typing by testing yourself here regularly: typing-test
Bookmark:In order to better remember to do the lessons, you should put a bookmark on the bookmark bar as shown here:
Fingerposition:When you start on an lesson you must place your index fingers as shown at the image below.
This is the starting position, and the keys ASDF, for your left hand, and JKL;, for your right hand are called the 'home keys'.
With your index fingers you can feel a bump on the keys 'F' and 'J'. When you type you must get back to these two keys as soon as a key has been pressed on the keyboard so that you know all the time where you are on the keyboard. If you don't find the keys 'F' and 'J' again you will get lost and make a lot of mistakes. For the same reasons the first lessons are done without ever moving your fingers from these two keys.
When you type you must use specific fingers for the same keys all the time as illustrated at the image above. If you don't do that you will soon loose your orientation and make mistakes.
Next key to be pressed:You have two ways to determine what key to press next. First of all the next key to be pressed is highlighted by a yellow light around the key like this:
The next key is 'D'.
Touch typing without looking!When you are a beginner at touch typing you should try to type without looking at the key board. By doing this you will of course make mistakes to begin with, but with some training it will become natural for you. Instead look at the keyboard depicted on the screen below the text.
If you type the wrong letter it will be highlighted by changing the font color to red. The number of errors you make is indicated at the right side of the top of the screen. If you half way through an lesson press 'Repeat' the number of errors will be reset and you can start over.
How about dyslexics?A danish study has established that when kids learn how to type, their reading skills are improved. This is true even for dyslexic kids.
Progress.When you press the button 'Statistics' in the top right corner, you will be able to follow your progress online after each lesson.
How often should I practise?You should do your touch typing lessons as often as you are capable of without hurting your fingers! As with everything else, regular training gives the best result. Most people will probably get the best result by distributing the lessons to several days in the week rather the doing a lot of exercises in one day. It is a good idea to put your touch type training into a calendar to be sure to remember to do them. If you don't have a calendar you can use the Google calendar which is free and easy to use. In this way it is easier to remember to do your exercises.
Training touch typing is probably the only activity your employer will allow you to do at work beside doing your job. :-) How about doing some training instead of using all that time to updating your facebook account?
What if I don't do all the exercises?Well you will under all circumstances be faster just from doing some of the exercises, as you will be able to find the keys much faster. Thusly it is better to do some exercises than none at all.
Do I have to start with the first typing exercise?Not necessarily. When you hold the mouse over 'Choose lesson' you can see which keys the particular lesson is training. You can then start with the tutorial you think is the right for you. Be careful not to be optimistic about your current ability as it will lead to a too steep learning curve.
Warming up your fingers.It is a good idea to warm up your fingers before a training session. You can warm up your fingers by doing some of an lesson without caring too much about the errors, and then press 'Repeat' to get started.
How low an error percentage should I aim for?It is more important to have a low error percentage than a higher speed. The low error percentage will be your best guarantee for success in the following lessons. You can follow your progress at the statistics page (just press the button 'Statistics' at the upper right corner) You should strive to do all lessons flawless (or at least with max two percent error) before you go on to the next lesson. If you learn to type flawless a high typing speed will automatically ensue. By the way, the error statistics will only save your best results.
Are you a parent?Well, then you can reward your kid for every lesson the kid has done at en error percentage at one and perhaps an extra reward for a flawless tutorial. Your child's school work will most probably benefit from being an apt typist.
Errors and other things?Do you have any suggestions as how to improve this course, or have you found errors in it, you are welcomesend me some feed-back
ResultA lot of people type with two fingers, and thus type around 10 - 15 words per minute. After completion of this course you should be able to type at least 45 words per minute, and even faster if you type often. If you at your job type nine hours a week you will be able to save the six out of these nine hours provided you triple your typing speed. That will be nearly 300 hours saved a year or seven weeks extra holy days a year. If you have 30 years left before you go on pension the course will save you about 230 weeks work. Are you self employed you will be able to stop working four years early. Or, if you could convert your increased typing speed into a pay raise, you could get four years extra payment before retirement. Learning how to touch type is probably one of the best educations you could invest in. And it won't cost you any money. You can here: calculate your own personal benefit from improving your typing speed. How ever it works out for you, you have probably never met a person who regretted spending some time improving his or her typing speed.
RequirementsThe only requirement for this course is that you regularly spend some time vigorously train on your computer. If you do just one or two tutorials weekly (who hasn't got time for that?), and do them as well as you can, you can see an end to the course. You can go to the TEST page weekly or biweekly to see your progress.
Have fun.

Woodcut to go on display
PLAINFIELD A 200-foot-long woodcut depicting the history of U.S. Immigration carved by immigrant artists will be showcased at an art crawl at Goddard College on Wednesday.
The print, titled Migration to Chicago, was created in the 1990s and is believed to be the longest physical print ever made, according to Alexy Lanza, a Honduran artist who immigrated to Chicago and who is currently a student in Goddards MFA in Interdisciplinary Arts program.
The print measures 200 feet long and 48 inches wide, the woodcut plates were made of 25 four-by-eight-foot sheets of plywood, and 50 pounds of ink were used with a three-ton asphalt roller to print it, Lanza said in a news release.

On July 23, 2014, a dark colored vehicle was traveling southbound in the inside lane on State Road 37 (South Florida Avenue) in the 2600 block. The vehicle drifted left of center and entered the shared center turn lane where construction workers were located. The vehicle struck several construction barrels and subsequently struck a construction worker, later identified as Shelby Kenneth Shull, 44 years of age. The collision with pedestrian Shull resulted in his death. The vehicle failed to stop after the impacts and continued southbound.
Investigative leads resulted in information that the vehicle at the time of the crash was a black 2006 Jeep Wrangler and was being operated by Dustin Halstead, 21 years of age. The vehicle was located and an Inspection of the vehicle revealed biohazard on the hood. The vehicle was impounded as evidence and processed for the aforementioned biohazard inside the Lakeland Police crime lab. The samples were submitted to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) for DNA comparison with the blood obtained from decedent Shull. FDLE Lab report revealed a DNA match between the samples.
On Wednesday October 15, 2014 at approximately 2:30 p.m., Dustin Halstead turned himself into Traffic Homicide Investigator Michael Catalano on the charge of - Leaving the Scene of a Crash involving Death, a first degree felony. Halstead was transported and turned over to the Polk County Jail in Bartow.
On Monday, October 13, 2014 at 2:13 p.m., the Lakeland Police Department responded to Southwest Middle School in reference to a bomb threat. It was determined that a note containing a bomb threat had been turned in to a teacher, who notified the school administration.
