The Best Celebrity Impersonators of 2009
Last week I posted an ill-informed and badly researched list of what I thought were the worst celebrity impersonators. I apologize for it now because I didn't understand the impersonating industry. From your comments I learned a lot. I learned there's a difference between impersonators and look-alike's. I learned that it really isn't fair to judge a persons career based on one stupid picture. I also learned that being an impersonator is a great job where you can make a lot of money (way way more $ than me!) I learned about the talent it takes to make a good impersonator. There's a lot of up keep! Lastly, I learned about the Reel Awards. Each year industry professionals award people in the industry for their impersonations. This list is actually the 13 winners from this years ceremony. They're the cream of the crop. One last thing: Make sure you check out their websites. This site has some great impersonators. How funny would it be to have a MiMi impersonator at your party! lol

Anne Kissel won this years comedy award for her impression of Roseanne Barr. Her MySpace says she's 101, but I bet that's comedy lol. Anyways, check out her MySpace.

Savour that cup of coffee and start collecting loyalty cards. The average price for coffee could hit $4 in three years, according to industry groups and economists.
A growing customer preference for organic and sustainable coffee, demand for better wages by skilled baristas and increasing rental costs will force cafes to raise prices, said secretary of the AustralAsian Specialty Coffee Association Ross Quail.
''People are increasingly looking for high-quality, speciality coffee, where there is a uniqueness and accuracy of flavour, which is then more expensive,'' he said. ''It's changing the direction of the industry. It's also a highly competitive industry and with that comes greater investment into equipment and into new fit-outs with a good architectural firm to provide a different level of experience.''
An example is Single Origin Roasters in Surry Hills, which its owner Dion Cohen recently refurbished to create a ''quirky industry'' feel with glass and steel in a bid to enhance the coffee-drinking experience.
Mr Cohen believes the average price of coffee will lift by 50¢ within a year across both specialty and regular coffee shops, largely because of rent and labour costs. Equipment has also become more sophisticated and expensive in the speciality coffee world, he said. ''A machine that would have cost me $8000 about 10 years ago would now be $25,000.''
In Sydney, the average price for a regular cappuccino this year is $3.22, up from $2.95 five years ago, a survey involving more than 1000 coffee shops by Gilkatho coffee company showed. Economist Tim Harcourt from the University of NSW expects the price to hit $4 within three to five years. He pinned it on Australia's overall income growth.
''As Australians become richer and richer, they will tend to choose more luxury goods, and that includes our ability and willingness to buy expensive coffee. This impacts prices,'' he said.
But Mr Harcourt said the industry should not justify price rises on labour costs, calling such reasoning a ''furphy''.
''In America, [the coffee businesses] in states which cut minimum wages or didn't raise them, didn't do any better than places that raised the minimum wage,'' he said. ''So labour reasons don't stack up. I think it's an excuse to not pay them more.''
Chief economist at HSBC Paul Bloxham said while the combination of lower global coffee prices and the recent high level of the Australian dollar meant the cost of coffee beans should not be rising, there were ''other forces at work''.
''The actual coffee beans are a very small part of the total cost of producing the coffee. Milk is likely to be a larger cost,'' he said. ''There has also been greater demand for a 'quality' cup of coffee, so this might be having some bearing on the price.''

A Dhanbad court on Monday sentenced a BCCL employee to life imprisonment for hacking his wife to death after marrying for the second time 12 years ago.
Mahendra Prasad (35), a resident of Bhagabandh, 12km from the Dhanbad district headquarters, was also slapped a fine of Rs 5,000. His elder brother Naresh Prasad was handed the same punishment for helping him commit the crime.
Mahendras second wife Sanju Devi, who had hidden the body of victim Chinta Devi, was awarded five years rigorous imprisonment and a fine of Rs 2,000.
Two other accused Dharmendra Prasad and Nagina Devi Chinta Devis father-in-law and mother-in-law, respectively, were acquitted due to lack of evidence.
Prosecution lawyer Anil Kumar Das said that the court of district judge IX Abhay Kumar Sinha had pronounced Mahendra, Naresh and Sanju guilty on May 31, but the quantum of punishment was decided on Monday.
Mahendra married Chinta in 1999, but the couple could not have a child. In 2002, Mahendra secretly married Sanju. When Chinta came to know about the marriage and raised objections, Mahendra and his brother killed her with a sharp-edged weapon on the night of January 16, 2002.

Microsoft beat Wall Street's profit forecast as personal computer sales held up better than expected, and Windows sales defied decline predictions.
The results buoyed optimism around the world's largest software maker which is lining up Windows 8, a new tablet-friendly version of Windows, for later this year and is looking to make a dent into Apple and Google domination of the mobile market this holiday shopping season.
"The results were a fair amount better than we were looking for," said Rick Sherlund, an analyst at Nomura Securities. "Overall revenue growth was 6 per cent, and this is before the new product cycle, which should come around October."
Microsoft has not said when Windows 8 will be released, but most in the industry expect it on devices from around October, offering an alternative to Apple's runaway iPad. New Windows smartphone software is expected around the same time.
"Next year at this time we should be talking about Windows 8 mobile and how it's contributing or not to the company," said Kim Forrest, analyst at Fort Pitt Capital Group. "But we really need Windows 8 to come out on all devices, to see if it's going to have that synergy or not."
The Redmond, Washington-based company reported fiscal third-quarter profit of $US5.11 billion. Sales rose 6 per cent to $US17.41 billion, driven by strong demand for its server software products and Office application. Analysts had expected sales of $US17.18 billion.
Worldwide PC sales rose a modest 1.9 per cent in the quarter, according to tech research firm Gartner. That was better than expected in a market facing hard-drive shortages from Thailand and the onslaught of Apple's iPad.
That helped Microsoft, which supplies the operating system for 90 per cent of PCs, to post a 4 per cent increase in sales of Windows, still its main product.
"The Windows beat was a positive surprise, looking at about 4 per cent growth, versus expectations for about a 4 per cent decline," said Josh Olson, an analyst at Edward Jones.
"We also had solid business and server performance as well. The Big Three, if you will, in terms of the revenue drivers, were all a little bit better than expected, with Windows a lot better than expected."
On the downside, Microsoft's usually profitable entertainment and devices unit posted a quarterly loss due to falling sales of its aging Xbox game console and increased research and marketing costs for its new Windows Phone software.
"There was weakness in entertainment and devices," said Sid Parakh, an analyst at McAdams Wright Ragen. "If that were to have come in in-line, it would have been a pretty nice beat."
Traditional console sales are down across the board this year - hurting Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo - as the iPad and other tablets grab a slice of the lucrative market.
Microsoft shares are up 20 per cent so far this year, but are still the cheapest of the big tech stocks and still below levels of 10 years ago, as investors worry about the company's ability to match Apple and
in online and mobile technology. Apple's market value is now comfortably twice that of Microsoft, with sales of iPhones last quarter exceeding Microsoft's overall revenue.

How do I deal with clients who are concerned with my age and not experience?
There's no way around it, people will always initially judge you by their first impression of you. So, make that first impression as polished and professional as possible. This will give you the opportunity to hold them long enough to hear what you have to say. Once you do speak, avoid youthful slang and make strong eye contact. Beyond that, don't overcompensate, just remain professional and demonstrate a positive, upbeat attitude.

2005 Mazda Tribute - Consumer Review
Build Quality
Reliability Value
Build Quality
Reliability Value
Good Deal, but needs some minor help
By Heather on
Vehicle2005 Mazda Tribute s Fwd 4dr SUV (3.0L 6cyl 4A)
ReviewOverall, my 2005 Tribute S has plenty of room, handles decent & good pickup. Ive always driven high-end luxury sedans & SUVs and while this isnt in their class with style, comfort, drive and some of the interior options, bells and whistles, it is a great deal. I get alot of compliments and would recommend this SUV for someone restricted to that price bracket. I transport alot of sporting equipment on the roof. This is the one reason I will not be a repeat Tribute owner. Mazda made a huge mistake making the rook rack extremely short.Unless you replace the entire rack with a custom rack, then this is not the SUV for outdoor enthusiasts needing to carry sport equiptment on the roof.
Best FeaturesSide air vents are very versatile, but center air vent movement is terrible. Overall drive and HIGHWAY (not city) mileage is very good. Lots of room. Nice outside body style. Love the in dash 6 CD changer.
Worst FeaturesLimited movement on middle airvents. There is plenty of unused roof space to further extend the roofrack towards the front. The limited width which you can extend the crossbars is a big hindrance with anyone wanting to transport anything on the roof. And there is way too much wind noise.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 11/7/2014 (1110 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Charlene Diehl
Director, Winnipeg International Writers Festival
"I'm juggling a mountain of books for Thin Air 2014 this September, but have been settling my spirit late at night with Stitches: A Handbook on Meaning, Hope and Repair by American writer Anne Lamott. The book is a bracing and often very funny essay on the challenges of remaining thoughtful, compassionate and engaged when life keeps throwing impossible curveballs -- sickness and death, destruction (both human and natural), injustice, and despair. It's a pithy, real-world book about acknowledging difficulty, choosing to be lost sometimes, accepting help, and painstakingly stitching together moments of meaning to create a well-lived life."

Wright play 'Fallaci' at Berkeley Rep
Published 2:34 pm, Wednesday, March 6, 2013
Lawrence Wright has been all over the news in recent weeks, with the release of his latest book, "Going Clear: Scientology, Hollywood and the Prison of Belief." But he is also a playwright, and his new play about the life of Italian journalist Oriana Fallaci opens this week at Berkeley Rep.
"Wright is an extraordinary journalist, so it's not at all surprising to me that he is fascinated by Fallaci, a crusader, an opinionater and an enterprising writer who sometimes became the story," says Chad Jones, the author of this week's cover story.
Wright says Fallaci inspired him to become a journalist. But the Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist never met Fallaci, who died in 2006, never had the chance to ask her about her work. His play "Fallaci" imagines an interview in which a young reporter questions the older journalist about her practice.
"It's a fascinating collision of factual journalism and creative drama," Jones says.
Next week: Choreographer Trisha Brown at UC Berkeley.
- Andrea Abney, 96 Hours editor

Cabuya is the gateway to the wonderful Cabo Blanco Reserve. This small community borders the principal entrance to the park and offers a wealth of natural sites to discover. Nestled along the jungle-fringed coast with a backdrop of mountains, Cabuya is great base for hiking, beachcombing, bird watching and all those nature lovers looking for a place off the beaten track.
Another place not to be missed is Rio Lajas, which is crossed as you enter the village. Its shady banks are ideal for bird watching; where kingfishers, herons, toucans and even roseate spoon bills can be seen. Upstream there are refreshing swimming holes and natural Jacuzzis to cool you down on even the hottest of days.

Here's another factor working against the housing market recovery : appraisals. Real-estate professionals say that the results of home appraisals are increasingly stalling or preventing sales.
Fewer than 10 percent of realtors blamed appraisals for killing or delaying a deal prior to 2009, according to the National Association of Realtors. But in 2010, 29 percent of them said it was the cause and through September of this year, a third of them said so.
The culprit seems to be a combination of more thorough appraisals required by lenders to determine a home's value and a housing market that makes it difficult to find homes that are comparable. When the market was more stable, appraisers could compare values with as few as three homes in the area, but now lenders are requiring many more comparisons, which appraisers say makes it harder to find similar properties to compare.
The appraisal is important for buyers because mortgages are typically offered for an amount up to 80 percent of the appraised value of the home. A lower appraisal means a smaller mortgage. For sellers, the appraisal could delay the sale and send them back to the negotiating table if their price is above the appraised value. Often, the buyers and sellers will meet in the middle when it comes to the difference between the selling price and the appraised value in order to get the deal done.

LIBERAL Democrats on Gloucestershire County Council are to call for cycling to be given higher priority in the region.
At the next council meeting on the September 10, the Liberal Democrat Spokesperson for Highways and Flood Cllr Paul Hodgkinson will propose a motion to improve cycle routes and cycle parking.
Cllr Hodgkinson said: "Cycling brings a lot of positive benefits – it is not only good for your health, but is also good for the environment. It is a great way to reduce transport costs and can go some way to easing our traffic congested roads.
"I am keen for the council to promote cycling further across the county and to encourage short, urban cycle routes and ways for rural cyclists to cycle safely in beautiful areas like the Forest, and in my own area - the Cotswolds."
The council's Lib Dems say they are aiming for a more joined up approach to cycling, focusing on how cyclists get from one place to another instead of creating new cycle paths which are not connected.

Julie Miller plays hide and seek with Japan's Mt Fuji, an icon of art, religion and popular culture.
Fujisan has been an elusive goddess, playing "now you see me, now you don't" behind heavy cloud for several days. However, our optimistic guide is determined we will admire Japan's legendary mountain in its seasonal glory, from the viewing point at the top of the Kachi Kachi Yama Ropeway.
"This is the view of Mt Fuji in spring, see the cherry blossoms? Beautiful!" she boasts, holding up a laminated photograph of the snow-capped cone piercing an azure sky, flanked by powder-puffs of pastel petals.
"And in fall - such wonderful colours," she says, flicking to the next visual. "And this is winter, when visibility is the clearest." We nod sagely, impressed.
"And now ... " she says, sadly pointing to the grim, misty horizon where, apparently, Fujisan dwells. "... nothing. She's out there somewhere."
To visit Japan during tsuyu, the summer rainy season, can be frustrating, especially when the whole purpose of your visit is to celebrate the country's national symbol. Straddling two prefectures - Yamanashi and Shizuoka - and just 100 kilometres south-west of Tokyo, Japan's highest mountain (3776 metres) is one of three "holy mountains", is a designated Place of Special Beauty, and was recently honoured with a World Heritage listing.
Despite being an active volcano (last erupting in 1707) and surrounded by national park and five beautiful lakes, it is was not for its natural splendour that Fuji was recognised by UNESCO in June 2013. Rather, it was inscribed as a site of Cultural Heritage, consisting of 25 separate monuments and registered under the title "Fujisan, sacred place and source of artistic inspiration".
With its near-perfect symmetry, dramatic conical shape and choc-ice topping, Mt Fuji is a landmark of rare beauty that holds a special place in Japanese history and culture. It has been revered as a sacred object since ancient times, when followers of the animist Shinto religion built shrines at its base and summit to appease the goddess of fire, Konohanasakuya-hime, and to quell eruptions. When the prayers seemed to work, the mountain became the centre for worship for the Shugendo sect, an amalgamation of ancient Japanese mountain worship and esoteric Buddhism; and from the 14th century, ordinary people - guided by Shugendo practitioners - began to make worship-ascents of the mountain.
During the Edo period (1603-1867), tens of thousands of devotees of Fujiko - societies dedicated to the veneration of Fuji - embarked on annual pilgrimages during the months of July and August. Climbing the mountain represented rebirth, a journey from kusa-yama, the secular world of the living, to yake-yama, the world of gods and death at the summit. Pilgrims (doja) traditionally wore gyoi - white funeral apparel - as a symbol of their spiritual rebirth, which were stamped at shrines en route as evidence of their journey and faith.
That tradition continues today, with many Japanese keen to tackle the six-hour hike to witness the sunrise from its summit - an experience known as goraiko, or "the coming of the light". Today the emphasis is less on religion and more on a bucket list experience, with many Japanese seeing it as an important rite of passage and a symbol of national pride.
"Fuji wa Nippon-ichi no yama," our tour guide trills as we sit on a bus, passing yet another viewpoint obscured by cloud. "Fuji is No. 1 mountain in Japan! This is a popular children's song, every child learns it at school," she tells us proudly. "But today ... no Fujisan. Sorry!"
The volcano has also been celebrated in literature and poetry since ancient times and was featured extensively in the 8th century Man'yoshu, the oldest existing collection of Japanese poetry.
It was during the Edo era, however, that Mt Fuji really entered the Japanese psyche, its status raised from religious symbol to pure pop icon. In this period, feudal lords were required to journey from Kyoto to Edo (Tokyo) several times a year, travelling on the Tokaido Highway, which passed by Fuji on the eastern seaboard. Along the way, they collected the 19th century version of mass-produced postcards, exquisite woodblock prints (ukiyo-e), depicting towns, landscapes and personalities of the time.
The 53 Stations of the Tokaido, by the artist Hiroshige was the best-selling series of ukiyo-e prints, with images of Mt Fuji featured heavily throughout. Another series, 36 Views of Mt Fuji, by Hokusai, depicts the mountain in various seasons and locations, and includes one of most famous, enduring and reproduced motifs of Japanese art - The Great Wave Off Kanagawa, a tsunami-like wave with Fujisan rising in the distance.
A copy of this print is housed in the National Gallery of Victoria, while another can be seen at Claude Monet's house in Giverny, France, with the French Impressionist highly influenced by Hokusai's style. Van Gogh was also enamoured with the Japonism movement, importing and selling ukiyo-e prints with his brother Theo. In 1888, he wrote, "It seems to me that we cannot study Japanese art without becoming much gayer and happier, and we must return to nature despite our education and our work in a world of conventions."
I, too, am keen to return to nature, with Fujisan as my muse. My camera is poised to capture her majesty; but despite promises of "spectacular views" at several stops, she is yet to show her pretty face. At the popular spa resort of Hakone, famed for its healing waters as well as tranquil vistas across Lake Ashi, we are met with misty rains and evening thunderstorms. Undeterred, we forge on the following morning, stopping at the Kitaguchi Hongu Fuji Sengen-jinja, a shrine where devotees would traditionally pray to the volcanic deities before commencing their climb. Approached via a massive torii gate flanked by 300-year-old cedar trees and 83 stone lanterns, we make our own silent wishes at this moody haven before beginning our journey - albeit by bus, not foot - to the modern-day ascension point: the Fujinomiya 5th Station.
We arrive at a bitumen-paved village square packed with school children preparing for their hike, a sea of brightly-coloured rain jackets and backpacks covered with waterproof protection. Even inclement weather can't deter the 300,000 hikers who tackle Fuji's peak each season; and the path from the village to the crater today resembles a department store escalator during sale season.
Open climbing season at Fuji is officially from July 1 to August 30; after that, hikers must register to make the ascent, with the possibility of bad weather making it a dangerous undertaking. On this bleak and uninviting day, I'm surprised how many people are setting off with smiles; but even more joyous are the faces of those who have successfully conquered the peak.
"This was my second attempt," beams British/Nigerian teacher Kola Olagboyega, resplendent in orange overalls and a walking stick. "The first time I was terribly under-prepared - I had no idea how tough it would be. I gave up. But I was determined to try again! I didn't care about the weather - I was just motivated to make it. I'm proud of myself."
The walk to the summit from 5th Station takes six to eight hours, depending on conditions and crowds. Most people start climbing late in the afternoon, resting at 8th Station mountain hut for several hours before setting off around 3am to make sunrise at the apex.
The accessibility of Mt Fuji makes it one of the most achievable - and over-crowded - peaks in the world. But despite it being a "mountain of the people", a famous proverb states: "You are wise to climb Mt. Fuji, but a fool to do it twice".
Wishing we had time to tackle the peak ourselves, our group prepares to leave 5th Station to continue our sightseeing tour. Then suddenly, as if to reward our collective wishes, Fujisan decides to emerge from the clouds, revealing her perfect conical shape. We gasp with delight, as excited as game-watchers on a safari, and click furiously with our cameras.
Then the shy geisha raises her fan, blinks her eyes, and disappears once again behind a misty shawl.
The writer travelled as a guest of the Fuji-Hakone-Izu Tourism Association.
Getting there: Japan Airlines flies from Sydney and Melbourne to Tokyo daily, visit au.jal.com/aul/en/. Mt Fuji is about a two-hour drive from Tokyo and can be viewed from three provinces, Yamanashi, Shizuoka and Kanagawa.
Staying there: Hotels offering Fuji views include Hotel Regina in Kawaguchiko, from ¥12,960 ($133) per person per night (two meals included), booking.com/hotel/jp/hotel-regina-kawaguchiko.html?aid=330843;lang=en, and Hotel Tenbo in Izu Nagaoka, from ¥13,545 per person per night (no English website).
Further information: Japan National Tourism Organisation, jnto.org.au
Assuming you have fine weather, here are five viewing points offering spectacular vistas of Mount Fuji:
Oishi Park, Kawaguchiko, Yamanashi: Situated on the north shore of Lake Kawaguchiko, this park is widely considered the best place to admire Fuji, particularly when the lavender is in bloom in June/July.
Kachi Kachi Yama Ropeway, Yamanashi: Named after a popular children's folktale, this observation deck on top of Mt Tenjo offers panoramic seasonal views of Mt Fuji.
Osezaki Cape, Shizuoka: This moody peninsula jutting into Suruga Bay affords Fuji views across open water, reminiscent of the seascapes of ukiyo-e artist Hokusai.
Lake Ashi, Hakone, Kanagawa: Take a cruise across the lake in the resident pirate ship for lovely distant views of Fuji if the weather is in your favour.
From the Tokaido Shinkansen: When travelling from Tokyo to Kyoto on the bullet train, the mountain appears on the right side of the train, near Shin-Fuji station.

New NSFW Weeknd Video Has a Ton of Naked Ladies, but Abel Tesfaye Still Looks Bummed...
Can someone please explain to us how The Weeknd always manages to look so damn sad?
I mean, we get why he was bummed out when he was just a couch surfing art school dropout in Toronto, but now he has more money than God, famous friends and is surrounded by hot women all the time. In his new clip for "Twenty Eight," he's literally surrounded by attractive naked ladies, and he still looks like he's about to cry. Via Idolator:
The Weeknd has dropped the video for "Twenty Eight," one of the new tracks off his Trilogy compilation, and it so unquestionably not safe for work! Unless you work at, say, a blog where it's your job to watch a new music video that primarily consists of bare breasts. But even then, you'll feel like a total skeez watching it next to your colleagues!
As with all of The Weeknd's material, we're guessing this is some commentary on temptation and the cold transaction that is sex. The video starts with a warning about nudity and graphic imagery, but starts innocuously with Abel Tesfaye on an interview show. And that's where the topless dancers come in.
Seriously. What will it take to cheer this guy up?

Furman's Great Advocate
C. H. Judson is a man who holds great importance in the history of higher education in South Carolina. Over the course of his life, Judson generously devoted almost 60 years and donated about $50,000 of his personal funds to the well being of Furman University.1 He has been celebrated for his loyalty to the cause of collegiate education for men and women, his stability and goodness of character, and his Christian gentleness, all traits that helped to develop the reputation of Furman University as it is known today.2
Judson originally entered school for the purpose of preparing for work in ministry, but began teaching due to his fathers financial problems.3 This setback in his own life made Judson sensitive to the struggles in the lives of young men striving for an education despite financial troubles, and for the rest of his life he was selfless in helping such students.4 While visiting Greenville to recruit students to attend a college in Ansonville, North Carolina with which he was associated at the time, Judson heard of the plan to start Furman University.5 In response to this, Judson attended the 1851 meeting of the South Carolina State Baptist Convention, where he first saw James C. Furman. 6 At this meeting, Judson was the first man specifically hired to teach at the new university,7 which, at that time, had no buildings, no scholarly equipment, and no endowment to its name.8 Judson is credited with organizing the first curriculum for Furman, purchasing all equipment needed for the new school, selecting the architectural design for the campus, and supervising the construction of its first edifice. 9
The partnership between Judson and James C. Furman, the universitys first president, is described as an unlikely one by historians such as Harvey T. Cook, although both men were tied together by a mutual devotion to the school. It was through the uniting of their different characteristics and personal talents that Furman University thrived under Judson and Furmans care. They taught the first 68 students of the university alongside each other, and in 1855 Judson also assumed the role of treasurer after giving the board of trustees a bond worth $20,000 to take the position.10 Judson proved to be a meticulous treasurer for the new university, and it was through his prudence, foresight, personal sacrifices, unremitting watchfulness, and faithfulness that the university and all of its assets were not lost in the financial upheaval following the Civil War in the South.11 For example, during the darkest years of financial woe, Judson did not give himself a salary for at least two years.12 In his role as treasurer, Judson also created a very important separation between the Southern Baptist Convention and Furman University in his refusal to give the Convention copies of the schools financial records, establishing its financial independence from the Convention.
Judson was always very generous with his money in relation to Furman University. Judson donated $15,000 to the endowment of the Carnegie Library, ensuring its presence on campus, and provided the remaining deficit of $15,000 needed to fund the Alumni Building that was later named in his honor.13 Upon his death in 1907, Judsons remaining estate was bequeathed to the university.14
When Furman University closed during the Civil War, Judson provided his services to the Greenville Baptist Female College where he served as president from 1864-1878. By far, Judsons greatest contribution to the struggling school during his time as president was soliciting the help of his sister, Mary Camilla Judson. She was an embodiment of the values that were honored by the Womans College, and it was through her example that the pupils at the institution became confident in their abilities to improve their minds and lives as independent women. 15 Therefore, just as he had with Furman University, Judson contributed to the strength of the Greenville Baptist Female College as well.
Over the course of his life, Judson held seven different positions associated with Furman University and the Greenville Baptist Female College: academic dean, professor of mathematics and physical science, professor emeritus of mathematics, treasurer, member of the board of trustees, and interim president for Furman University, and president of the Greenville Womans College.16 From the years 1864-1878, Judson held six of these positions simultaneously. He was constantly alert, looking for opportunities that could benefit the school; this is illustrated by the note Judson added to the bottom of a receipt he wrote in the year 1876: If you have a son or daughter to educate, send for a catalogue of the University (Furman), or of the Female College."17
In addition to his loyalty to higher education in South Carolina, C. H. Judson was also a pious Baptist man. Judson was a Baptist convert, as his parents were of the Methodist denomination, but because of his gentleness and goodness of Christian spirit he did not belong to the Baptists alone18 as he was described as always standing for what was morally right, making him a friend of all who were in need.19 Upon his death, Judson had served at Greenvilles First Baptist Church as a deacon and as treasurer of the South Carolina Baptist Convention.
During his life, Judsons presence in Greenville was one of unwavering devotion to his Baptist faith and to the cause of education at Furman University and the Greenville Baptist Female College. He was a man who was admired by Baptists throughout the country, but also truly appreciated by people he touched on an everyday basis. His impact on Furman University was tremendous; he helped to start the school as well as ensured its survival during Reconstruction. As stated in a newspaper article honoring Judson upon his death, no one in South Carolina ever merited to a greater degree the esteem and honor with which he has been held by hundreds, young and old, who have known and loved him in the university, in the Baptist denomination and in the community."20

another 28 dead...when will it STOP
Well its happened again,so 'sick' misfit,gone on the rampage and shot innocent kids as well as adults.
Its time that Pres Obama and BUGGER the gun lobby of USA,put his foot down and did the only decent thing that John Howard did in his reign and stopped and gained gun control.
The Gun Lobby of USA,as big as they maybe are still stupid enough and ugly enough to topple and I am sure that Pres.Obama would like to do something about it.
The major problem here is that the 'allowed to bare arms' is part of the US constitution,BUT these laws can be changed with a pen stroke from Congress.
Its time that this happened,is it not??????
Lets see what happens after the next and the next and the next killings in USA

1. Well, you live in a mostly sane and civilized country
and don't get the extent of the US love affair with guns. And yes, many gun owners do love their guns.
In addition, here in the wild west, folks need their long guns outside the cities because this is bear and cougar country. If they're lucky enough to get one of the hunting licenses that doesn't go to some urban trophy hunter, they really rely on having that deer or elk in the freezer. This is a poor state.
Banning guns is just not going to happen. What we all hope for (except the gun culture) is that large magazines are banned. We'd also love to see semi auto guns banned, but that's a tougher fight. The best we can hope for here is slowing the squirrels determined to commit mass murder down, giving the police time to arrive.
Honestly, you'd have more success banning beer in Oz.

2. I'm someone who just doesn't get that love affair with guns...
I remember back when the buy-back scheme happened, a friend of mine belonged to a gun club and had some rifles that fell into the category of 'too dangerous for someone to own'. He grumbled a lot, especially because he claimed he wasn't going to be given a fair price, but while he liked having his guns, he didn't *love* them, and he dutifully handed them in.
I don't get how less than a week after so many small children and their teachers were slaughtered that I'm seeing stuff on the internet from Americans who love their guns so goddam much that talking about how much they love them, going on and on about their precious Second Amendment, and advocating some sort of civil war if gun reform is brought in, is to them a sensitive way of responding to the massacre.
What I really don't understand is how two countries with similar beginnings as British colonies, and kinda similar in other ways, managed to be so vastly different when it comes to guns.

3. Here's an article John Howard wrote back in August after the Colorado massacre...
Last edited Fri Dec 21, 2012, 01:01 AM - Edit history (1)
I so detest him and what he did to Australia, but when it comes to gun control, it does seem like complete wankers like him and Rupert Murdoch also support gun control...
EARLY in 2008 Janette and I were guests of the former president, George H. W. Bush or 41, as he is affectionately known, at his Presidential Library in College Station, Texas. I spoke to a warm and friendly audience of more than 300 who enthusiastically reacted until, in answer to a request to nominate the proudest actions of the Australian government I had led for almost 12 years, I included the national gun control laws enacted after the Port Arthur massacre in April 1996.
Having applauded my references to the liberation of East Timor, leaving Australia debt free, presiding over a large reduction in unemployment and standing beside the US in the global fight against terrorism, there was an audible gasp of amazement at my expressing pride in what Australia had done to limit the use of guns.
I had been given a sharp reminder that, despite the many things we have in common with our American friends, there is a huge cultural divide when it comes to the free availability of firearms.
A key component of the 1996 measure, which banned the sale, importation and possession of all automatic and semi-automatic rifles and shotguns, was a national buy-back scheme involving the compulsory forfeiture of newly illegal weapons. Between 1996 and 1998 more than 700,000 guns were removed and destroyed. This was one-fifth of Australias estimated stock of firearms. The equivalent in the US would have been 40 million guns. Australias action remains one of the largest destructions of civilian firearms.
Australia is a safer country as a result of what was done in 1996. It will be the continuing responsibility of current and future federal and state governments to ensure the effectiveness of those anti-gun laws is never weakened. The US is a country for which I have much affection. There are many American traits which we Australians could well emulate to our great benefit. But when it comes to guns we have been right to take a radically different path.

4. Its time that the US did the same thing
I noticed that the NRA got up on Friday and stated that there should be more guns to protect schools.
I have a NEWS FLASH fir the NRA.....go away and just hope that its NOT your kids that are the next ones that could/would be assassinated.
The NRA should be ashamed of themselves.John Howard did the right thing,BUT we dont have an out of date constitution,(unlike the US)that was written in 1778 and made law in 1780,and the 2nd law states that an American has the right to bare arms......we we in Australia to drive a motor vehicle,BUT you break the law and you pay for it,we also have many laws that you break them and you pay for it.The Port Arthur assassination,the bloke got what he deserved and why,well he broke the law.It seems to me that no matter what one does in the US that the culprit,wont stand by what they have done and they save the jails by killing themselves,BUT that doesn't stop the heartache of the families.
Its time that USA did something with their constitution and that the NRA was put into its place.....
I dont care what these people think and what they say,BUT hey just remember that one day it could be a member of your family and then what will you say.
I disagreed with many things that JWH did,BUT I do have to agree with that law and the buyback......

Elmo's Alphabet Challenge is a 50-minute Sesame Street DVD released in 2012. The DVD includes animated versions of the Sesame Street ABCs book series as a bonus feature.
Elmo and Telly Monster are playing basketball when Abby Cadabby shows them her new Fairy Fly Pad. They decide to play an alphabet game, which sends them into the Fairy Fly Pad. They meet A. B. C-more who tells them that in order to get out they have to find items beginning with each letter of the alphabet before A.B.C-more, who claims to be the greatest alphabet expert ever.
Throughout the challenge, A.B.C-more competes with either Abby or Elmo in parodies of a variety of video games, including Super Mario Bros., Angry Birds, Pac-Man, Guitar Hero, Just Dance, and Mario Kart. During the challenge, it becomes clear that A.B.C-more is not the alphabet expert he claims to be, constantly thinking that items don't begin with the letter they're focused on, and mistakenly thinking items that don't do begin with those letters, while the others always succeed in finding the right items.
With only a few letters left, A.B.C-more puts them in the hardest game in the challenge, a parody of World of Warcraft. Since it's the hardest part of the challenge, A.B.C-more decides to let all three play, but Telly, who had avoided playing all other parts of the challenge, avoids playing this one as well. A.B.C-more zaps Elmo and Abby with X's, saying that the only way to stop it is to find some X items. At this point Telly decides to finally join in the game, throwing an x-ray machine and xylophone at the Xs.
When they get to the letter Z, Telly finds a zucchnni on the ground. After initially struggling to pick it off the vine, Telly finally picks it and they win the game. A.B.C-more is impressed that they are better alphabet experts than he is, but Abby points out that they got a lot of practice on Sesame Street. A.B.C-more sends them back home, and even decides to visit their world. At first he wants to return home after a short while, but then they point out all the letters he can find on Sesame Street.

The contract changes will not affect current city employees.
With almost no discussion, council members unanimously approved the amended contract with CalPERS, which will go into effect in 30 days. The council had previously approved new contracts reflecting the changes with all the unions representing city workers.
The 2010 initiative, known as Measure L, increased the minimum retirement age for new city employees, except for police officers, from 55 to 60.
The measure also called for changing the way the amount of annual pension is figured. Currently, employees are awarded 2.7 percent of their highest year's salary for each year worked. The new terms will give newly hired city workers 2 percent of the average of their highest three year's salary for each year worked.
Police officers' minimum retirement age will be raised from 50 to 55 with 3 percent of the average of their highest three year's salary per year worked.
Under this measure, a new non-police hire who retired at age 60 after working for the city for 30 years would receive 60 percent of that average salary. Current 30-year employees can retire at age 55 and get 81 percent of their highest year's salary.
The city will not see the first savings from the change for several years, according to a report prepared for the council by Glen Kramer, the city's interim personnel director.
Eventually, as employees covered by the more generous pension plan retire and new employees are hired, the changes should save $590,000 per year at current payment rates, Mr. Kramer reported, but only after 25 to 30 years.

Fenteng was dressed a bit differently, though. The junior watched from the sidelines in a green, non-contact jersey (and no pads) as Jeremy Pruitt went through drills with Fenteng's fellow defensive backs.
Along with Fenteng, outside linebacker Leonard Floyd and wide receivers Chris Conley and Justin Scott-Wesley were also wearing green jerseys today. However, those three were all practicing in pads.
Of course, like Pruitt said earlier today, Fenteng and Wilson shouldn't worry anyone.
2. Today was Georgia's first day in full pads. For those players not in a green jersey, the intensity started in period four.
And I do mean intensity.
It probably wouldn't be right to call it the 'Oklahoma' drill if it's taking place at Woodruff Practice Fields in Athens, but c'mon. I don't know what else to call it. All you should know is there's no lack of enthusiasm with these players.
It's hot out there, according to defensive line coach Tracy Rocker, but you wouldn't know it from watching players compete today. It was a chance for new players to show their position coaches what they could do, and earn some trust.
Pruitt says anyone can run around out there in shorts and headgear, but the football doesn't really start until the pads go on. There was football today. Players like Aaron Davis who have a legitimate shot at making some noise this season finally got a chance to show what they can do, and you can bet it won't be the last.
3. Kevin Sherrer has a good-looking group of outside linebackers. The two that stood out to me today were Davin Bellamy and freshman Lorenzo Carter. Both of them move well, and showed some athleticism as they went vertical to catch the football in one drill today. Carter was good without pads, and it looks like he'll be fine as full-contact starts, too.
Sherrer is really preaching strength to his group.
4. Rico Johnson really caught Pruitt's eye when he went up to get a ball today. Johnson is a wide receiver who's currently changing his game up a bit at cornerback. Approaching August, Pruitt planned to keep a close eye on Johnson as he made the transition.
Looks like Pruitt likes what he's seeing out of the freshman from Swainsboro.
5. It was 94 degrees as Georgia took the practice field today – four degrees warmer than yesterday. Rocker stressed that this morning. That's my eye in the sky.

As summer winds down, you still might have a chance to take a vacation somewhere. Let me throw out an idea. Pay a visit to a national park.
All right, I am biased favorably toward the many offerings of the National Park Service (NPS). They're scenic, historic, educational and so much more. I've read there are over 400 from which to choose.
How very timely — on Monday, Aug. 25, free admission is offered throughout the NPS properties. You might want to sing "happy birthday," because it is the birthday of the National Park Service. Isn't it nice that WE receive the present?
Another free admission day this fall occurs Sept. 27, National Public Lands Day. Also of note, around three-quarters of the park units don't even charge admission. The NPS website states: "Only 133 of our country's 401 national parks usually charge an entrance fee." For example, Effigy Mounds National Monument, north of Marquette, Iowa, is a free visit. It's one of the closest NPS units in our area. And it's near and dear to me. I've been visiting it since a good old school bus took my grade school class many years ago.
The national monument's website states:
"The Late Woodland Period (1400-750 before present) along the Upper Mississippi River and extending east to Lake Michigan is associated with the culture known today as the Effigy Moundbuilders. The construction of effigy mounds was a regional cultural phenomenon. Mounds of earth in the shapes of birds, bear, deer, bison, lynx, turtle, panther or water spirit are the most common images.
"Like earlier groups, the Effigy Moundbuilders continued to build conical mounds for burial purposes, but their burial sites lacked the trade goods of the preceding Middle Woodland Culture.
"The Effigy Moundbuilders also built linear or long rectangular mounds that were used for ceremonial purposes that remain a mystery. Some archeologists believe they were built to mark celestial events or seasonal observances. Others speculate they were constructed as territorial markers or as boundaries between groups.
"The animal-shaped mounds remain the symbol of the Effigy Mounds Culture. Along the Mississippi River in northeast Iowa and across the river in southwest Wisconsin, two major animal mound shapes seem to prevail: the bear and the bird. Near Lakes Michigan and Winnebago, water spirit earthworks — historically called turtle and panther mounds — are more common.
"The mounds preserved at Effigy Mounds National Monument are considered sacred by many Americans, especially the Monument's 12 affiliated American Indian tribes. A visit offers opportunities to contemplate the meanings of the mounds and the people who built them. The 200 plus American Indian mounds are located in one of the most picturesque sections of the Upper Mississippi River Valley."
Affiliated tribes listed include:
Iowa Tribe of Kansas and Nebraska
Iowa Tribe of Oklahoma
Otoe-Missouria Tribe of Oklahoma
Ho-Chunk Nation of Wisconsin
Winnebago Tribe of Nebraska
Upper Sioux Community of Minnesota
Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community In the State of Minnesota

Minnesota's national parks include the Mississippi National River and Recreation Area, a 72-mile stretch of the upper Mississippi from the towns of Dayton and Ramsey to just south of Hastings; the Saint Croix National Scenic River, which includes the Namekagon River in Wisconsin; Grand Portage National Monument; Voyageurs National Monument; and Pipestone National Monument.
The Apostle Islands National Lakeshore in Wisconsin is about the same distance away as some of these. (Are you getting some ideas?)
Make the end of summer extra fun with a trip to a national park. And keep the parks in mind for future trips, too. With all that said, I've been keeping track of national parks, monuments, battlefields and more that I've visited. In one of my upcoming columns — perhaps next week — I'll share the list here. Then you'll know who you can contact if you're wondering about a park. I believe the total number is over 60. I challenge you to get your list together and then think about where you next want to go.
