Wounded Warrior Day in San Antonio:Senate Committee on Veteran Affairs and Military Installations to hold hearing
(SAN ANTONIO) -- The Senate Committee on Veteran Affairs and Military Installations, chaired by Senator Leticia Van de Putte ( D-San Antonio). The meeting will be held on April 1, 2008 at 1:30 p.m. at the San Antonio City Council Chamber, located at 103 Main Plaza.
Prior to the hearing, senators and state representatives from Texas will tour the medical facilities serving wounded warriors at Fort Sam Houston, including the Warrior and Family Support Center, the Center for the Intrepid, the Institute of Surgical Research and the Solider and Family Assistance Center.
Wounded Warrior Day is being held in an effort to honor the courageous warriors recovering and rehabilitating in San Antonio, to bring attention to their needs and to find ways our state can offer support for them and their families. Many of these service members are originally from out of state, but spend long periods of time in San Antonio, causing their families to relocate, sometimes permanently.
At the hearing, invited testimony will be heard on veteran reintegration issues, including the occurrence of post traumatic stress disorder, traumatic brain injury, substance abuse problems and other family issues; the committee will take suggestions on ways to supplement and enhance related services for veterans and their families. In addition, the committee will review state services and benefits for injured service members and their families who are recovering from their injuries and rehabilitating in Texas.
"Through the Veteran Affairs and Military Installations Committee, I intend to work towards improving the quality of life of our military families and veterans," said Senator Leticia Van de Putte. "We must honor those who valiantly serve our country."
The hearing is open to the media.

Arthritis Proves Debilitating for African-Americans
Nearly 100,000 in D.C. Suffer from Joint Pain
Stacy M. Brown | 2/26/2014, 3 p.m.
CDC officials also noted that arthritis causes a surprisingly disproportionate amount of pain and limitations for African-Americans.
When compared to whites, blacks with arthritis are 26 percent more likely to report activity limitations; 43 percent more likely to report work limitations; and 60 percent more likely to report severe joint pain.
"Many people are finding themselves facing a huge financial burden simply to get the drugs their doctors have prescribed because of discriminatory insurance practices and others are being forced to travel hundreds of miles just to see the closest doctor," said Michele Gradalupe, vice president of advocacy for the Arthritis Foundation in Harrisburg, Pa.
"These are reasons why the Arthritis Foundation is so committed to educating our lawmakers on the devastating toll arthritis takes on our nation's health and economy."
While studies, such as the CDC report, highlight disparities, it's important to note that there are resources for people living with arthritis.
The CDC recommends self-management techniques be added to the daily routine of anyone living with arthritis.
Some lifestyle changes that may help African-Americans ease joint pain include interactive workshops such as the arthritis self-management program and the chronic disease self-management program, which are low-cost and available in hospitals and health centers across the country, officials said.
Further, 30 minutes of moderate to low-impact physical activity at least five days per week helps to reduce pain and improve function, mood, and quality of life for adults with arthritis, CDC officials said.
"The number of U.S. adults with arthritis is increasing," said Dr. Wayne H. Giles, Director of the Division of Population Health at the CDC. "Because arthritis occurs so often with other conditions like diabetes and heart disease, arthritis limitations may be interfering with the recommended management of those conditions, especially in regards to physical activity."

Jorge of Brew Beer & Drink It asked us all, for this edition of The Session, to write about this: "...what would you change to lead us into the Perfect Beer World? or how do you describe the Perfect Beer World?". Like Stan, I was struggling with the topic until I read a few entries posted earlier today from folk like Monsieur Noix and Win. I saw the light.
OK, maybe not the light but the point. See, I don't care for perfection seeing by definition we live in an ad hoc imperfect world filled with calamity, compromise and failure. But there is also beauty and success and change in there, too. Perfection sounds, well, a wee bit dull compared to all that. But, just so I won't earn the "Don't Not Play Nicely With Others" badge again I will admit to having had some experiences that lean heavily towards the good. Like finding Hennepin at a gas station near Albany for $4.99 a bomber. Like watching Stan drink a beer that he was thinking about. Like watching Ron watch a beer fest. Like having gueuze with a rib eye steak in my backyard. Like getting "Shakespeare's Local" in the mail this week or getting emails from Jeff back when he was Stonch as we planned the Xmas photo contest. Like sitting with old college pals in a Halifax brew pub introducing my first kid at 9 months old on a sunny Saturday afternoon in winter. Like working would ideas Albany's brewing history with Craig or figuring out for myself that the Hudson's Bay company was shipping, of all things, malt to the Arctic in the 1600s. Like having an 18 wheeler truck stop outside the house to deliver a six pack sample. Like once ranking #17 on Google for the search "beer" ahead of Guinness or, best of all, walking into a NY state beer store last week when over grocery shopping with my mom if only to see her face when the big guy behind the counter called out "HEY! HAVEN"T SEE YOU FOR A WHILE!!" when we walked through the door.
See, I am lucky. My life and the bits that include beer are too good to worry about perfection. I want not. The beer has been just fine so far. I have met too many good people, read too many good ideas and sipped too many tasty drinks to not be fine with how things are working out.

Samuel W. Oliver named Union Universitys 16th presidentcomment (0)
February 10, 2014
JACKSON, Tenn. — Trustees at Union University in Jackson, Tenn., have selected Samuel W. Oliver, president of East Texas Baptist University (ETBU), as the 16th president of Union University after a unanimous Feb. 10 vote.
"Dr. Oliver is a man of strong Christian conviction who is theologically informed, passionate about students and highly respectful of the work of faculty members," said Norman Hill, chairman of Union's Board of Trustees and chairman of the search committee that selected Oliver. "His skills as an administrator and educator build on Union's already established reputation for academic excellence and we are honored and thrilled by this appointment."
Oliver, 48, succeeds David S. Dockery, who has served as Union's president for the past 18 years.
"We are deeply humbled by this call to serve at Union University," Oliver said. "I am hopeful and enthusiastic about working with the Board of Trustees, faculty, staff, students, alumni and friends of the university to extend, enhance and enlarge all that Union is — for the glory of God and for the good of humankind."
Oliver said the list of things that attracted him to the position included Dockery.
"David has been a great leader for Union and for Christian higher education," Oliver said. "His encouraging spirit has meant a lot to me over the last few years, and he is committed to ensuring that the transition ahead is seamless."
Oliver also cited his appreciation of Union's mission and core values.
"The integration of faith, learning and living has had a transformative effect on my life and as I seek to live out my calling as an educator I believe that Christian higher education is where we can most influence and shape young people so that the kingdom of God may be enlarged," he said.
Oliver will be spending some time at Union throughout the spring semester and will begin his full-time role June 1.
A native of San Antonio, Texas, Oliver has been the ETBU president since 2009. The university in Marshall, Texas, enrolls about 1,250 students and employs about 300 faculty and staff.
Prior to the ETBU presidency, Oliver served his alma mater, Baylor University, in several roles, including director of student activities, associate dean for campus life, dean for student development and vice president for student life.
While at Baylor, Oliver also served as a visiting professor in the Hankamer School of Business, an adjunct professor in the School of Education and interim university chaplain. He served in the U.S. Air Force in the late 1980s at Carswell Air Force Base, Texas.
Oliver completed a bachelor of science degree in education from Baylor and a master of science degree in educational psychology and a Doctor of Philosophy in educational administration from Texas A&M.
Before entering graduate school, he was a third grade teacher in the Fort Worth Independent School District. He also is a licensed and ordained Baptist minister, serving as pastor of Canaan Baptist Church, Crawford, Texas, from 2003 to 2009.
Oliver and his wife, Susie, have one daughter, who is a senior at Baylor.
"I have had the privilege of knowing Dr. Oliver for several years, both in his role at Baylor and at East Texas Baptist University," Dockery said. "During this time I have come to recognize Dr. Oliver's genuine commitment to students and his approachable, kind and caring manner as a leader.
"I will look forward to opportunities in the days ahead to help welcome him to Union University and to introduce him to the wonderful people who are a part of the Union University community."
Robert Sloan, president of Houston Baptist University, described Oliver as "a person of great integrity, faith, strong theological commitments grounded in Scripture and a love for students."
"He has served in Christian higher education for many years, and his proven experience will be a strong factor in his ongoing success and leadership at Union University," Sloan said.
The trustee vote affirms a recommendation from the search committee. The committee conducted a national search, considering more than 130 nominations prior to bringing their recommendation to elect Oliver.
"The search process was composed of prayer, people and procedures," Hill said. "We are confident that the Union community quickly will see the consistent patterns of service and commitment that led us to Dr. Oliver." (Union University)

Today, I got on a treadmill for the first time. I was running at a very high speed. I needed a break but didn't know how to get off. I decided to just let the machine take me to the edge so I could get off. I was thrown off the treadmill and landed with my happy sacks crashing into a dumbbell. FML

Joss Whedon is a pop-culture savant.
The director of "The Avengers," which is the third-highest-grossing film of all time, is also the creator of the "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" and "Firefly" television series and the online project "Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog." And, if that weren't enough, he was nominated for an Oscar for co-writing the screenplay for "Toy Story."
Oh. And now he's doing Shakespeare.
Whedon directed many of his friends, whom he puts in a lot of his shows and movies, in "Much Ado About Nothing," shot in 12 days at the home he shares with his wife, producer Kai Cole (who designed the place).
Whedon talked about the film, and much more, recently.
Question: So, why do Shakespeare?
Answer: Um, why not? If you had the wherewithal, and you were friends with a bunch of great actors, and you had the time, and your wife was a producer who sort of magically produced a crew, and built a house that you want to shoot it in, I mean, what would stop you? It's been a dream of mine for years to shoot Shakespeare. I can't understand what took me so long.
Q: Why "Much Ado"?
A: There are some practical considerations. It's very modern. It's very accessible, kind of a gateway drug for Shakespeare for a lot of people. It's funny. But it also has a take on romance and love that is not only timeless, but I think very textured. The darker parts of this play are as essential as the beloved comedy, and they're all interwoven. I like something that is dark and at times genuinely ugly, and really reveals us as the sort of programmable fools that we are, and yet at the end manages to find a mature romanticism through all of that.
Q: Part of the fun is watching your regular cast of characters do Shakespeare. Were you worried about whether they could pull it off?
A: No. Some of them were. (Laughs.)
Q: You can be great actor and not be a great Shakespearean actor.
A: That's true. And for a lot of the heavy lifting I went to the people I knew were versed in it. But there were a couple of exceptions, like Nathan (Fillion) and Sean (Maher), neither of whom had ever done Shakespeare, and both sounded like they'd been doing it since they were kids.
When you ask somebody to do enough things, you know that they've got it in their pocket. And, of course, some of them had done it in my house. I couldn't have made the film if I wasn't sure if these people could pull it off, because I needed the movie to work for people who weren't fans of my work, or their work.
Q: Was it weird to do it in your house?
A: It doesn't feel weird. With the black and white, it keeps it at enough of a remove that we don't go, "Oh, wow, now everybody knows," even though that's the house, and the furniture is where the furniture is. We changed very little. It's not like we were shooting our underwear drawer. Or pictures of our kids, or anything that would be creepy. We just show how beautifully designed and built it was.
Q: Why make it in black and white?
A: I was looking to some of the older movies for inspiration. Because the noir aspect of this movie, the fact that it mixes comedy with dark, dark drama and really unpleasant ideas about who we are. That's something I like, that I remember from old comedies and old noirs and European cinema. ... It also has that elegance to it, that charm.
Q: You updated the setting but not the dialogue.
A: Well, you know, a lot of people asked me if I was going to keep the original text. And I've always been like, um, the text is why it's good. You don't buy a Picasso because you love the frame.
Q: It wasn't the great costuming that has survived for centuries.
A: (Laughs.) Exactly. Italian collars? They're timeless.
Q: With this, "The Avengers," "Star Trek" and "Star Wars," it seems like you and J.J. Abrams are getting all the cool movies.
A: I know a lot of guys were vying for that "Much Ado" gig.
Q: Ha! Seriously, do you think an extensive background in TV helps, or was that an accident?
A: It was an accident in the sense I didn't mean to have an extensive background in TV. You know what? I think J.J. and I are both storytellers. We're very different in a lot of ways, but our main concern is, do they care? And that manifests in the desire to make everything hit as well as it can. We both have different particular styles that are evolving, but it's less about that style. It never trumps what we're trying to accomplish emotionally.
Q: David Chase created "The Sopranos" but used to say he wasn't happy, because he really wanted to make movies.
A: The grass is always greener. It really is. When you're making a movie, you dream of TV, and when you're making TV, you dream of movies, to an extent. I've learned to, as much as I can, be where I am. I appreciate them both for what they are. TV gives you an opportunity to unspool a story, and really breathe, and develop the characters in a novelistic way. Movies give you the chance not just for a bigger canvas, but to distill these ideas into something that is more concrete, of itself, and more complete. That's exciting, too.
Q: Does one suit you better?
A: Right now movies suit me better, because I'd like to have a little free time. With movies there's almost no free time. With TV there's no free time. And, of course, if some idiot decides to do both at once, well, we just mock him.
Q: You seem like a good sport about being mocked.
A: Yes, yes. Well, you can't escape it.
Q: Were you surprised at the success of "The Avengers"? Do you feel the need to top it?
A: Obviously I feel a responsibility to turn out something that will a) make money for the studio, b) please the audience in a similar way that the first one did. But you can't go there. What I'm excited about is, I can make a better movie. I can take these people, this extraordinary cast and this delightful premise and all these ideas that I can actually afford to do, and use it to dig deeper, to make something even more resonant than the first one.
Q: Was there any thought to not doing it?
A: I thought about not doing another one. When I finally thought, "Do I want to do another one?" I realized there was another story that I want to tell about these people, that I'm burning to tell, and when you feel that you have to follow it.

Scott Svenson promised late last year to pay more attention to MOD Pizza, the fast-casual pizza chain he and his wife Ally co-founded in 2007. He was busy running Freestone Capital Management until October 2012, when he sold a controlling interest in the wealth management firm to its executive team. He immediately was named chief executive of MOD, and now he's focused on growing the chain. "It suffered from benign neglect," he said. "I was preoccupied with ...

Did a drama on ABC Family really name an episode after a movie about an Orthodox kid getting lured into the ecstasy drug trade? Yes, yes it did. However, "Holy Rollers" wasn't about drugs but it certainly ventured into religious territory.
When Grace convinced everyone in her life to attend church, did anyone really think it would go off without a hitch?
Let's just start with the fact that Adrian dropped the word "sex" in front of a 10-year-old kid. This was after she had him snap a photo of her and Omar so she could prove to Omar's mother what a nice girl she is. You can always depend on Adrian to inject a little humor into a tense situation. Besides, Adrian's comment wasn't the most inappropriate thing going on at church. Did you see Kathleen's dress?!? I wear longer dresses to the clubs. Read More...

- USDA releases agroforestry plan
- Putting trees to work
• Agroforestry intentionally combines agriculture and forestry to create integrated and sustainable land-use systems that take advantage of the interactive benefits from combining trees and shrubs with crops and/or livestock.
More About:
Putting trees to work
"The foundation of agroforestry is putting trees to work in conservation and production systems. Agroforestry begins with placing the right plant, in the right place, for the right purpose," said Andy Mason of the U.S. Forest Service and leader of the Interagency Agroforestry Team that developed the framework with input from diverse stakeholders.
"This framework will help USDA focus its efforts on developing the highest priority science and tools while expanding its educational, training, and partnership activities so that America's farmers, ranchers and woodland owners have the greatest opportunity to consider agroforestry for their operation."
The Agroforestry Strategic Framework is built around three simple goals: adoption — increase the use of agroforestry by landowners and communities; science — advance the understanding of and tools for applying agroforestry; and integration — incorporate agroforestry into an all-lands approach to conservation and economic development.
Agroforestry provides benefits beyond rural areas. In rural-urban interface areas agroforestry practices can improve wildlife habitat, mitigate the movement of odors and dust, serve as noise barriers and act as filters that help keep water clean, and do "double duty" as green spaces where food and other products can be grown, while also providing a more pleasing place to work and live.
The Interagency Agroforestry Team includes representatives from five USDA agencies (U.S. Forest Service, Natural Resources Conservation Service; Agricultural Research Service; National Institute of Food and Agriculture; and Farm Service Agency) and two key partners (National Association of State Foresters and National Association of Conservation Districts).
Those agencies, partners and others work with the USDA National Agroforestry Center, which conducts research, develops tools and coordinates training for natural resource professionals.

Dancing Ganesha, 11th centuryIndia: Madhya Pradesh
41-1/2 x 23-1/2 x 11 in. (105.4 x 59.7 x 27.9 cm)
Norton Simon Museum, Gift of Vineet and Floretta Kapoor

On view
Like his father, Shiva—who performs the cosmic dance of destruction in his manifestation as King of Dance, or Nataraja—the great elephant-headed god Ganesha is often depicted dancing exuberantly. As the remover of obstacles and the god of auspicious beginnings, Ganesha is invoked before every undertaking and revered by Hindus, Buddhists and Jains alike. This eight-armed Ganesha dances on a double lotus, a symbol of his divine status, and he holds several of his standard accoutrements, including a snake, an axe and one of his tusks. His trunk, now broken at the tip, would have been dipping into a bowl of sweets held in the missing left hand. The cream spots are created by natural mottling of the red sandstone.

Corsair Dominator Platinum 2133 MHz DDR3 review -
Performance Content Creation
CineBench 11.5
CINEBENCH is a real-world cross platform test suite that evaluates your computer's performance capabilities. CINEBENCH is based on MAXON's animation software CINEMA 4D, which is used extensively by studios and production houses worldwide for 3D content creation. MAXON software has been used in blockbuster movies such as Spider-Man, Star Wars, The Chronicles of Narnia and many more.
This test scenario uses all of your system's processing power to render a photorealistic 3D scene (from the viral "No Keyframes" animation by AixSponza). This scene makes use of various different algorithms to stress all available processor cores.
This software has been added to the test suite starting this very review (hence the lack of more results) It can measure systems with up to 64 processor threads which makes it rather future proof for testing. The Cinema 4D engine also has a yearning thirst for HyperThreading and thus will be in favor of Intel processors that can hyper-thread.
The test scene contains approximately 2,000 objects containing more than 300,000 total polygons and uses sharp and blurred reflections, area lights and shadows, procedural shaders, antialiasing, and much more. The result is given in points (pts). The higher the number, the faster the processor. It's clear that the test is not rather memory bound.
Excellent performance, however realistically in-between 1333 MHz and 2133 MHz we can measure the difference, but never notice it in real world perf.
Fryrender is a benchmarking framework for anyone, not just for our customers or 3D users. Anyone out there, from hardware integrators or hardware reviewers to die-hard gamers. Since its conception, fryrender has been designed with the aim of being the most muscled engine in its category. As a result, and after several years of intense development, fryrender's core doesn't let a single CPU cycle be wasted. Its routines have been written to be cache efficient, and to take the maximum advantage possible of the new multi-threading capabilities present in modern CPU architectures.
This additional new title we started using very recently. Being a highly-optimized and extremely math-intensive application (mostly in floating-point) which makes a very efficient use of the system's cache, we think that fryrender is an ideal tool for measuring "how much brute computational power" a computer is able to deliver.
An excellent test to measure memory actually, as you can see faster memory does make a difference. In-between 1333 MHz and 2133 MHz there is an 8 second advantage of the fastest memory in quad channel mode in a 3 minute and 23 seconds test result.

Rick Bush named 8th Cornerstone
PARKERSBURG – The Erickson All-Sports Facility team, with Rick Bush as its representative, is the eighth "Cornerstone of our Community" named by Our Community's Foundation-Parkersburg Area Community Foundation and Regional Affiliates through its 50th anniversary awards sponsored by Superior Toyota. Bush will be presented a gold Fenton vase on behalf of EASF and the honor of awarding $1,000 for charitable purposes.
Judy Sjostedt, foundation executive director, said, "A cornerstone is that fundamental building block on which a foundation can be built. The EASF teeam of volunteers laid a firm foundation in the field of youth recreation. Their efforts continue to inspire and nurture a community vision and have resulted in a significant, permanent public facility for youth, in a part of our community where the need for such was previously unmet."
The EASF multi-sport complex began construction in August 1993 and since then, has recruited an incredible number of people to its cause over a 20-year period. Past and present, its volunteers reflect a broad cross-section of our community with contributions that range from in-kind services to construction materials and machinery loans to advertising and fundraisers and cash, according to a news release.
While many people associated with the EASF merit acknowledgement, the one constant in providing volunteer leadership and oversight throughout this time span has been Rick Bush, EASF board chair. His passionate and dogged support for EASF has helped its team to persevere in the fact of great obstacles at times, according to the news release. His dry wit in leading the group through its challenges and his optimism and encouragement has helped sustain the multi-year effort, the release continued. When asked for his inspiration for being involved, Bush said simply, "Because it ought to be done. Originally, it was because I would have kids who would play here, but I really like giving back."
The EASF team has raised many dollars and services and through its work has given the words, "community involvement," greater meaning. The EASF team's work and Bush's leadership have resulted in a major capital project for our community's youth, worth millions in value, but much more in pride for Parkersburg South's students, and citizens in its feeder school region particularly, according to the release. The EASF volunteers' dedication to making EASF a reality and a success, and a source of community pride, has earned the EASF team of volunteers led by Rick Bush, a Cornerstone of Our Community Award..

Classic Soap Fan
Okay, let's see where we're at...
DR. TOM HORTON (b.3/15/1910) & ALICE GRAYSON HORTON (b.1/23/1911)
married: 3/3/1930
---DR. TOMMY HORTON (b.1931 - d.1953)
------KITTY HORTON (b.1931)
---------SANDY HORTON (b.1952e)
---ADDIE HORTON (b.1931)
------BEN OLSON (b.1927e)
---------JULIE OLSON (b.1949)
---------STEVEN OLSON (b.1951)
---MICKEY HORTON (b.1/19/1932)
---DR. BILL HORTON (b.1939)
---MARIE HORTON (b.1942)
Since nothing has really gone on with Mickey & Bill prior to DAYS's premiere in 1965 (other than Mickey is an attorney and Bill is in Harvard Medical School according to Zenka's book), we'll move on to Marie who is a graduate student in biochemistry at Salem University and engaged to marry Horton nextdoor neighbor Tony Merritt. Dick Colla (Tony #1, 1965-1966) was born in 1936 (IMDB & Jason's). Don Briscoe (Tony #2, 1966) was born in 1940 (Wiki, IMDB, & Jason's). Ron Husmann (Tony #3, 1966-1967) was born 1937 (Wiki, IMDB, & Jason's). At the beginning of DAYS it is established that Tony is looking forward to a teaching fellowship in Boston. Tony would be at least Marie's age (b.1942) and at oldest, I'd guess late 20s (b.1936). For further clues to Tony's age, let's look at his father, airline pilot & widower Craig Merritt. David McLean (Craig #1, 1965-1967) was born in 1922 (Wiki, IMDB, & Jason's),making him 43 when Days premiered and 14 years older than Tony #1 & 18 years older than Tony #2. Harry Lauter (Craig #2, 1966) was born in 1914 (Wiki, IMDB, & Jason's) making the actor 8 years older than Craig #1. To be honest, in regards to Tony & Craig, we're just going to have to guess. lol I say, for the hell of it, we put Tony's birth year as 1938 (splitting the difference between all 3 Tonys) and Craig 20 years older with a birth year of 1918 (incidently, smack in the middle of the ages of both Craigs). It really doesn't mean much right now and Tony & Craig are both gone by 1967, but it's important for Marie's early story.
The only remaining important character introduced in 1965 is Diane Hunter, Mickey's girlfriend. Diane is established as being divorced with a teen-aged daughter named Susan. Susan is Julie's best friend at school and is presumed to be the same age (which means that Susan was born in 1949). Although Susan wasn't introduced until 1966, we'll go ahead and deal with her here. Denise Alexander (Susan #1, 1966-1973) was born in either 1939 (Wiki & IMDB) or 1944 (Jason's). Either way, she was playing younger if she's the same age as Julie. Bennye Gatteys (Susan #2, 1973-1976) was born in 1940 (Jason's). Either way, I don't think we can get away with saying that Susan was born in any other year than 1949. However, we might be able to push her birth year back to 1948 considering that Susan married David Martin (a character we'll deal with later) in 1966. Jane Kean (Diane #1, 1965-1966) was born in either 1923 (Jason's) or 1924 (Wiki & IMDB). Coleen Gray (Diane #2, 1966-1967) was born in 1922 (Wiki, IMDB, & Jason's). This means that Mickey was dating a *much* older woman. Considering that Susan #1 was obvious playing younger, we can presume that Diane #1 was playing younger as well and I would guess that Diane was around Ben & Addie's age. This would put her birth roughly 1931. This would make Diane 2 years older than Mickey. Personally, I think the gap is more obvious than that. I think Diane is actually about the same age as Ben, putting her birth year at 1927. When Diane is introduced, she is already divorced from Susan's father Richard Hunter. Terry O'Sullivan (who played Richard from 1966-1968) was born 1915 (Wiki, IMDB, & Jason's). For anyone who cares about such things, O'Sullivan is probably best known for his decade long run as Arthur Tate (Joanne's husband) on 'Search for Tomorrow'. Anyway, Richard was already 50ish when he was introduced (much older than the rest of the characters), so we really can't garner any good pin point for Diane's age. So, for the hell of it, let's say Susan was born in 1948, Diane was born in 1927, and Richard (being signifcantly older) was born in 1920. This gives our premiere list of characters (keeping in mind that Bill came on in 1965, but after the premiere and both Susan & Richard didn't start until 1966) as follows, setting as FACT (at least for our purposes)...
DR. TOM HORTON (b.3/15/1910) & ALICE GRAYSON HORTON (b.1/23/1911)
married: 3/3/1930
---DR. TOMMY HORTON (b.1931 - d.1953)
------KITTY HORTON (b.1931)
---------SANDY HORTON (b.1952e)
---ADDIE HORTON (b.1931)
------BEN OLSON (b.1927e)
---------JULIE OLSON (b.1949)
---------STEVEN OLSON (b.1951)
---MICKEY HORTON (b.1/19/1932)
---DR. BILL HORTON (b.1939)
---MARIE HORTON (b.1942)
CRAIG MERRITT (b.1918e)
MRS. MERRITT (unknown, but deceased prior to 1965)
---TONY MERRITT (b.1938e)
RICHARD HUNTER (b.1920e)
DIANE HUNTER (b.1927e)
(married and divorced prior to 1965)
---SUSAN HUNTER (b.1948)
And that brings us up to the November 8, 1965 premier. Starting with my next installment, we start building upon this foundation with actual on-air events. As I said before, the 1st 5 years are easy. It's not until poor young Mike Horton starts getting SORASed that things start to go wonky for the Salem Time Line.

At first glance, the similarities between these two men may not be evident, but surely the differences are quite obvious. Professionally, both Mahatma Gandhi and Adolf Hitler were political leaders of high caliber, one being the leader of the Nazi Movement before and during World War II and the other being the political/social leader of the people of India during the time when the country was under the control of the British Empire. And like most leaders, both Gandhi and Hitler were highly admired and often imitated by those who either knew them personally or were part of their environment. Both men also changed forever the very face and character of their individual countries, with Gandhi initiating and leading the movement to force Great Britain from the control and manipulation of India which eventually led to complete independence, and Hitler as the supreme master of the Nazi Movement and instigator of some of the most atrocious crimes against humanity ever recorded in world history.
It is also a fact that both men were highly driven by their individual personalities to achieve certain goals that would in effect influence the political and social environments of the entire world. Much like Hitler, Gandhi has "out-soared immortality as no other human being (and) his social impact has been unequaled" (Fischer, 67). And
also like Hitler, "what was the secret of his spell upon his country and people'" (Clement, 78). With Gandhi, descriptions such as "Hindu saint" and "father of his country" are empty and misleading, and if one was to pin a
label upon him, it would surely suggest that he was one of the key public figures of the 20th century as a manipulative idealist, or a person who reshaped society for good or ill. Of course, leadership is a prime ingredient for both of these men, and a list of traits which outstanding leaders tend to possess would aptly describe their characters, behaviors and beliefs.

- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
Prepare popcorn in microwave according to package directions. Pour popcorn into 1 or 2 large bowls. (You will need plenty of room to toss with hot sugar mixture.)
Meanwhile, in a small saucepan over medium heat, melt butter. Add water, sugar and cinnamon, increase the heat, and bring to a boil. Boil for 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from heat.

Jay Deher with Real Estate Essentials sits down with Darin Rhodes to discuss credit and how important it is when getting a mortgage loan. Darin tells talks about his rules of T.L.C....First is T which stands for Time, take time to pay and track your bills, even if its just a small purchase on your credit card, keep track. Next is L which stands for Low, you want to keep low balances on your credit cards. The less balance you have, the better credit score you can possibly get. The next is C, this stands for Collections, do whatever you can to make sure you dont get sent to collections. Collections can stay with your credit score for a long time, even if you have paid it off. If you take advantage of Darin's tips, it could really boost your credit score.

Scunthorpe United 2 Hartlepool United 0
Report of match 30th August 2011
Reporter Iron-Bru @ Glanford Park
A brace of second-half goals from Bobby Grant saw Scunthorpe progress into the second round of the Johnstone's Paint Trophy.
The visitors threatened first when striker Gary Liddle found space in the box to fire in a shot which forced a good save from goalkeeper Josh Lillis.
Scunthorpe who should have gone ahead after 21 minutes when striker Garry Thompson had a free header in front of goal but could only rattle the crossbar.
Thompson missed another good chance for the home side early in the second half when he blasted his shot wide after being put free in to the box by substitute Jimmy Ryan.
Scunthorpe broke the deadlock on the hour when Grant cut into the box from the right and steered a left-foot shot into the bottom-far corner past keeper Scott Flinders.
Seven minutes later Grant struck again with his fifth goal in the last four games with another left-foot shot after a mistake by Andy Monkhouse had gifted him possession just outside the box.
There was no way back for Hartlepool who failed to muster anything on target in the second half.

Dear SKI readers and editors, as stated above, Montana and the Northwest (Washington, Oregon, Idaho and yes, as the article mentions British Columbia) had a darn good ski season. If it weren't for the less than average December, we may have had a record year! Come ski for yourself next year!

I've been making some festive decorations with salt dough today, there's still a load in the oven now and more waiting to go in. But considering the cost and versatility, I decided that there was loads I could make for Christmas using just water, flour and table salt.
The recipe is really simple, combine 1 cup salt, 1 cup water and 2 cups plain flour in a mixing bowl, knead for 7-10 minutes then shape and bake in the oven on a low heat until they're cooked through - the time will depend greatly upon how thick you mke your decorations.
These are going to be for our tree, I've made loads to put in to my homemade hampers too. You could make personalised gift tags, badges, desk paperweights - Miya made some of her own to give as Christmas presents for her Grandparents.
We used my scrapbooking stamps to decorate them, cookie cutters and icing punches to create the shapes of our decorations. I used bakers twine but you could thread ribbon or string through the holes too - a little tip, to create perfect holes just use the drinking straw :)

We know that lots of movies have game tie-ins these days, but this one might be pushing it a little too far. Rumors have surfaced suggesting that Fox Searchlight has made contact with Crave Entertainment and 7 Studios in an effort to have them develop a game based on the hit indie film Juno. We can't for the life of us imagine what this might entail, but we have to admit to being at least a little intrigued.
Especially if there's any part of the game that involves getting Ellen Page pregnant, because that would be one of the best game simulators on the market, if you catch our drift. Otherwise, what's it going to be all about? Successfully evading the advances of older men who are into Sonic Youth? Making pithy commentary that shows that you are wise beyond your years? We'll keep you posted.
