Wealthy Assistant D.A. Logan Montgomery needs to ruin his reputation--fast! That's the only way he'll be able to convince his father that he's not cut out to follow the family tradition of going into politics. His plan? To indulge in a very public fling with a woman whose family is a scandal in itself.
It should have been the perfect solution.... Only, the more time Logan spends with Catherine Luck, the more he realizes he'd give up his reputation - and everything else - for just one night in her bed.

"Not enough story"
There wasn't enough story to make this a worthwhile listening experience. I know it was only 5 hours, but you'd figure there would be a little more character development. Alas, there was not.
It would have been MUCH better if the narrator had not tried to use a Boston accent. It was distracting.
"Cliche, cliche, cliche"
It was boring, predictable and filled with cliche after cliche. It was as if the author just cut and pasted from a lot of boring romance novels without much substance. The only phrase missing was "heaving breasts." The narrator was fairly good. I wouldn't waste my time on anything else from this author.
"Fun book - light but entertaining"
This is not a deep thought book but a book to entertain you when you want entertainment and not heavy contemplation. The book may be somewhat predictable but is happy and I love happy!
"Simply wonderful"
If only life was as wonderful as this story. Logan's Gran is awesome with her way of being a busy buddy... Kat and Logan great story line.. I wanted more...............
"Skip this one"
Very poor, eye-rollingly awkward dialogue. Narrator does a hideous ?Boston? accent. It was so bad I'm not sure if she was attempting an accent or if the character was supposed to have a speech impediment. Main character sounded bored most of the time.
It had none of the humor and fun Carly Phillips' books usual contain. Bad narration.
Different narrator.
It was the FIRST book I have bought out of hundreds that I turned off and deleted. I'm not picky, really. So....no redeeming qualities.
Seriously, don't buy. I'm avoiding this narrator in the future, as well.

Cherokee, Synqor bus converters target 12 V
Post a comment
Tustin, Calif. - Two new bus converters from Cherokee International here and Synqor (Hudson, Mass.) set their sights on the 12-volt intermediate bus as a suitable takeoff point for powering multiple point-of-load converters in distributed-power architectures.
Cherokee International's C-BUS converter (CBQ2548G1) is a quarter-brick that provides 25 amps at a nominal 12 volts. Synqor's half-brick can deliver up to 240 watts at 5 or 12 V and is also useful in applications requiring more stringent output regulation.
The offerings from both companies thus pursue a somewhat different design path for so-called two-stage power conversion architectures that take a nominal 48-V input to power the bus converter, which in turn powers point-of-load (nonisolated) converters delivering low voltage (e.g., 1 to 3.3 V) to loads downstream.
The Cherokee unit provides a loosely regulated 12-V isolated intermediate bus from a relatively tight 42- to 53-V input and delivers an efficiency of 96 percent. It's touted as a smart dc transformer running open loop to maximize efficiency and output current and yet minimize component count. The converters are available in both positive- and negative-logic versions.
Protection features for the Cherokee unit include circuitry for overcurrent, overvoltage and overtemperature, and input undervoltage. They include automatic restart after shutdown due to a fault. There is no minimum-load requirement. They meet basic insulation requirements per EN60950. The C-BUS comes in both open-frame and base plate versions. They're priced at $49 each in 1,000-piece quantities. Samples are available through the company.
Synqor's PowerQor Peta line, on the other hand, delivers what the company describes as a tightly regulated 12 V at 20 A or 5 V at 45 A, and thus can be used as a single-output dc/dc module or as a wide-input (36- to 75-V) bus converter. It delivers an efficiency greater than 93 percent.
Synqor's converters feature input undervoltage and overvoltage lockout, output voltage trim, output current limit, output overvoltage protection, temperature limiting, no-load operation, remote sensing, and on/off control. The single-board, open-frame units are priced at $90.60 in OEM quantities; volume shipments are available with a six-week lead time.

5 Situations Where You'll Need to Submit Extra Paperwork with Your Mortgage Application
It can be snap rounding up documentation for a mortgage. Or it can seem like a nightmare of cat herding a ton of unrelated paperwork. The documentation required for a home loan is guided by the financial and credit conditions of the borrower. Mortgage application requirements typically include two years of tax returns, asset documentation and W2 forms. Expect to provide lenders with at least a month of pay stubs.
During the application process, the loan officer provides the borrower's documentation for the underwriter. Having the paperwork on assets, liabilities, and credit history prepared ahead of time can speed the time to approval.
The process gets more complicated when the applicant:
- Has a previous bankruptcy, foreclosure or short sale on the books
- Is not a U.S. Citizen
- Is divorced (and has alimony or child support income)
- Has had a previous loan modification
- Is self-employed, paid on commission, or has undocumented income
Paperwork for Foreclosure, Bankruptcy, or Short Sale
Depending on the lender, loan applicants may need to provide court documents, credit reports (showing improvement) and deeds. Applicants with a foreclosure will need a trustee's deed indicating the sale date. Those with bankruptcies (Chapter 7 or 11) should round up all documents, including schedules itemizing the creditors and date of discharge. The lender may ask for a personal statement of the reasons for the bankruptcy. Applicants who have been through a short sale need to provide lenders with documentation of the final settlement.
Lender Requirements for Non-Citizens
Underwriters generally ask for birth certificates from non-U.S. citizens or from applicants who do not have a photo I.D. Non-citizens must document legal residency status. Not having appropriate identification may not be a show stopper, but it can tie up the process.
Documents for Divorced Applicants
Lenders will need a copy of the divorce decree no matter how long ago the applicant legally separated from a spouse. Any money related assets must be fully documented, including any that are received as child support or alimony (cancelled checks). Divorced applicants may consider themselves currently single, but legal evidence of the divorce will show up when the underwriter goes to work.
Providing Details on Loan Modifications
A loan modification may be the last attempt to stave off foreclosure. If the applicant has had a forbearance or repayment plan, the new lender wants a look at the modification agreement approved by the loan servicer.
Documenting Income
All applicants will need to document all their assets, including investment accounts (IRA, money market, stocks). Often the lender will tell applicants what to provide. In the case where there is no paper trail for income beyond tax returns, pay stubs and W2 forms, the lender may ask the applicant to fully document it. Electric statements may suffice.
Lenders don't necessarily need all the minute details of an applicant's life, but having the required documentation on hand can save wear and tear on your nerves. Once you're ready to move ahead, compare mortgage offers for free at LendingTree.
And finally, here's a quick checklist of common documentation types:
- W-2 Forms
- Bank statements
- Pay stubs
- Tax returns
- Cancelled rent checks (for first-time home buyers)
- Proof of citizenship or legal residency
- Photo identification
- Paper trail of funds
- Proof of military service (if applicable)

Bronx Zoo jumper faces trespassing charge
New York City police intend to arrest a man who told them he wanted to "be one with the tiger" that mauled him at the Bronx Zoo on Friday.
NYPD spokesman Paul Browne said Saturday that David Villalobos, 25, of Mahopac in Putnam County, told investigators he deliberately leaped into the exhibit occupied by a 400-pound Siberian tiger.
Villalobos admitted to police that he'd made a conscious decision to jump from an elevated monorail, but his motives were unclear.
During an interview Saturday at the hospital, Villalobos told detectives "his leap was definitely not a suicide attempt, but a desire to be one with the tiger," Browne said.
Villalobos was charged Saturday night with criminal trespassing.
He was riding the Wild Asia Monorail shortly after 3 p.m. Friday when he jumped from a height of about 20 feet, clearing the exhibit's fence, zoo officials said.
He underwent surgery at Jacobi Medical Center in the Bronx on Friday night. Villalobos, who was bitten numerous times and broke his arm and ankle in the fall, was in stable condition Saturday, a hospital spokeswoman said.
Family members declined to comment Saturday.
Longtime neighbor Susan Panzarino described the Villalobos family as "in a state of shock."
"I watched him grow up. He always seemed fine to me," she said.
On Thursday, Villalobos, whom police described as "an emotionally disturbed man," posted a photo of a tiger licking a cub with the comment "Nice." Another posting: the dictionary definition of insanity with a video of The Doors song "People Are Strange."
His last status update was on Friday: A quote from Ralph Waldo Emerson, "Love and you shall be loved."
After he jumped into the exhibit Friday, Villalobos was alone with a male tiger named Bashuta for about 10 minutes before he was rescued by zoo employees, who used a fire extinguisher to chase the animal away, zoo director Jim Breheny said.
He doesn't believe the tiger intended to kill the intruder.
"Tigers are extremely capable predators, and what they typically do is grab a prey animal by the back of the neck and it's over very quickly," Breheny said.
Villalobos is a 2006 graduate of Mahopac High School and played on the football team there, according to records.
Neighbor Chris Panzarino described Villalobos as "a very good guy" who "would help you with anything."
Paul Giarraputo, who went to Mahopac High School with Villalobos, described his former classmate as a spiritual man who posted strange updates on Facebook and listed "the world of animals" among his interests in his profile on the social networking site.
Another neighbor, Annie Albohn, said she has known Villalobos and his family for years. "He's a nice kid, that's all I can say," she said. "His parents are wonderful people."
Breheny said the zoo has no plans to put the tiger down, and said he did not fault the animal for its natural defense instinct.

Atlanta Divorce and Estate Planning Lawyer
Paige Norwood Jennings, PC
Suite 1-225
Atlanta, Georgia 30339
(404) 350-9092
Law Firm Overview
I am Paige Norwood Jennings, Attorney at Law. In my nearly two decades as a lawyer, I have heard every possible scenario. I am not shocked by your legal situation and I do not judge the choices made by you or your spouse. I am experienced in protecting your family reputation or celebrity status. I understand what you are going through and how to help. I know that false hope can do more harm than good, so I am honest and upfront about your case and help you set realistic expectations for your case's outcome. And because I have practiced family law in metro-Atlanta since 1991, I am very familiar with the judges and processes unique to this area.
As you approach the uncertainty of divorce or family law litigation, you need to be confident in your choice of attorney. My ability to take care of matters such as complex asset division, child custody litigation, and multi-faceted modifications of prior judgments generates return client recommendations. While not satisfied with their marriages, they are most satisfied with the outcome of their divorces. My number one source of new clients over two decades has been referrals from my former clients.


text: We immediately phoned Strasser who said the delay was due to a last-minute dispute over concession boundaries. The government wanted to re-survey those boundaries and no hunting would be allowed until that had been done. The good news is, the conflict is over at this writing and another client - not Morgan - is already on his way. Called at press time, Morgan said he and Strasser were closing in on a mutually agreeable make-up date sometime this month. Here's hoping this area lives up to expectations.

The UAlbany Performing Arts Center, operating under the auspices of the College of Arts and Sciences and in conjunction with the New York State Writers Institute, is pleased to present American Place Theatre in a performance of The Giver on Wednesday, May 1, 2013 at 7:30pm. The show is directed by Elise Thoron, the company's Associate Artistic Director, and performed by Mara Stephens. The evening will begin at 7pm with a pre-performance discussion led by a member of American Place Theatre and will conclude with a post-performance discussion immediately following the show.
The production of The Giver is a one-person theatrical adaptation of Lois Lowry's richly provocative novel. Taken from book to stage by the award-winning New York City based company, this verbatim adaptation explores a dystopian world where all is the same. Twelve-year-old Jonas is selected to receive the memories of a far different life which prompts him to question the values and beliefs of his "perfect" society. Winner of the 1994 Newbery Medal, this young adult novel was published 20 years ago and is still widely read today. It is first in the series of Lowry's quartet which also includes Gathering Blue (2000), Messenger (2004) and Son (2012).
The history of The American Place Theatre is rich and varied with a consistent commitment to nurturing the talents of American authors, playwrights and actors. Based in New York City, it is dedicated to producing high quality new work by diverse American writers and to pursuing pluralism and diversity in all its endeavors. Its Literature to Life series offers professionally staged theatrical adaptations of significant American literary works. The series has been featured at the UAlbany Performing Arts Center for several seasons with performances of Sherman Alexie's Flight, Sue Monk Kidd's The Secret Life of Bees, Frank McCourt's Teacher Man, Greg Mortenson's Three Cups of Tea, Jeannette Walls' The Glass Castle,Junot Diaz's The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao, Khaled Hosseini's The Kite Runner and Tim O'Brien's The Things They Carried. The Theatre, having received over 30 Obies and 16 Audelcos, is critically acclaimed as a birthing place for artistic endeavors at the crossroad of literature and live performance for 50 years.
Actors for whom American Place has been a launching pad include Mary Alice, Ellen Barkin, Roscoe Lee Browne, Kathleen Chalfont, Michael Douglas, Faye Dunaway, Sandy Duncan, Morgan Freeman, Richard Gere, Joel Grey, Dustin Hoffman, Frank Langella, Mary MacDonnell, Zakes Mokae, Howard Rollins, John Spencer, Ralph Waite, Sam Waterson and Sigourney Weaver.
Tickets for the performance are $15 for the general public, $12 for seniors and UAlbany faculty-staff and $10 for students. For reservations and further information, contact the Box Office at (518) 442-3997.
There will also be special morning matinee performances of The Giver for school groups on Tuesday, April 30 at 10am and Thursday, May 2 at 9:30am. The Thursday morning show is sold out but seats are available on Tuesday morning. Information and reservations for this matinee are available by calling the Performing Arts Center office at (518) 442-5738.

Don't miss a story. Like us on Facebook. Like Dallas News' Facebook Page
Shelby County residents, frustrated by government officials' refusal to discuss options for immediately replacing their shuttered ER, are planning to force a conversation.
In coming days they will be demonstrating in Center to call attention to the crisis, said Kathy Hagler, a local supermarket owner. She is one of several organizers of a petition drive - now surpassing 1,500 signatures - to reopen their hospital or set up a temporary ER following the August death of 18-month-old Edith Gonzalez.
The toddler choked on a grape but her family couldn't get quick ER treatment because Shelby Regional Medical Center had been closed. Ambulances also weren't available in town.
"The silence is strange and baffling,'' Hagler told me this morning. "One of the questions on poster boards will be: where are our elected officials?''
In a story last Sunday, I detailed how the toddler's death was the latest casualty of the meltdown of the hospital chain owned by Dr. Tariq Mahmood, a Dallas-area businessman under federal indictment for healthcare billing fraud. His facilities provided substandard care for years, and Shelby was among three that closed in recent months during an intensifying regulatory crackdown.
Following my July investigation documenting how regulators failed to take serious action against Mahmood until patients died needlessly, Gov. Rick Perry's office ordered a sweeping investigation of his hospital chain and the oversight gaps.
Baby Edith's death further exposed a lack of resources for remote towns that suddenly see their safety nets vanish. No statewide programs exist to ensure the continued operation of troubled hospitals so residents still have access to care. In Center, the nearest hospitals are now more than 21 miles away.
City and county officials aren't commenting on scenarios involving reopening the hospital or finding temporary ER services. Instead, they're focused on Tenet Healthcare Corp.'s plans to open an ER facility in Center next summer - at least nine months from now - while also improving training for their first-responders (police and fire fighters who responded to baby Edith lacked first-aid training).
But many citizens feel next summer is far too long to wait. They want fast action to avoid other deaths.
Despite appeals from citizens, Perry and other state lawmakers, including those representing Shelby County, also have not weighed in publicly with possible solutions. They have released only brief statements or declined to comment.
Perry's office has told residents it can't offer assistance, citing the investigation. The governor and his staff also have declined to grant interviews to The Dallas Morning News about the issues.
In a written statement, a Perry spokeswoman told me: "As you are aware, the state currently does not have authority to appoint a trustee to oversee a private facility whose license is in jeopardy.'' As a possible solution, she pointed to Sen. Jane Nelson's legislative proposal, unveiled in July, to set up such a process. But that measure won't be taken up for review until the Legislature reconvenes in 2015.
State Sen. Robert Nichols, R-Jacksonville, is still "unavailable for an interview at this time,'' his office told me this week. The senator did issue a short statement saying, "I am currently working with local community leaders and the Department of State Health Services to identify how we can fill the gap that has been created.'' But no details were provided.
State Rep. Chris Paddie, R-Marshall, has not responded to my requests for interviews.
Hagler stressed that the demonstration will be peaceful, and that she is working on a date that is convenient for the Gonzalez family out of respect for the loss of their little girl.
No government officials have called for a community meeting to hear residents' concerns about their safety.
Hagler hopes government officials will finally listen to their constituents. It will be a way for people to get "what they're feeling off their chest,'' she said.

"Ever since that incident where certain comments were taken out of context I kept thinking there must be a way to let the fans know who I really am", says the reliever. White Trash Records heard the tracks and signed him up. Record executive Hawthorne 'Jimbo' Sketter said, "He's a mix of Evis and Johnny Cash"
Two tracks which are getting a lot of attention are "Swet ass whtie boy" and " I love my niggas"

I was just wondering if any Rudy fans have read this book? I just came across it on Amazon. It was written by Rudy's great-niece....
Rudolph Valentino 1895-1926
Hey RG! Don't forget to be prepared for valentines day on TCM cuz they always have that marathon dedicated to Rudy and you can put in requests for what you want to see, love that channel. I would love to read that book! too bad it's so damn expensive. Have you read that one book that recently came out, the one that crazy lady made a big stink about? I think it was called "Affairs Valentino" or something like that? I'm just tempted to read it and see how absurd it is!
[I] "There comes a time in every women's life when the only thing that helps is a glass of champagne."[/FONT]
Hi d, sorry it took awhile to get back to you. I haven't been on line as much because of a lot of stuff that is going on now. Thanks for letting me know about the Valentine marathon dedicated to Rudy, I will definitely be watching!
Yes, I have read Affairs Valentino and wow! There is some pretty heavy stuff in that book, like the fact that Rudy fathered his own nephew, but the book is a little hard to find now, because of all of the controversy. I did order the book I described earlier written by Rudy's great grand niece called Rudolph Valentino: The early years, 1895--1920. She says that so much mis-information has been written about her uncle. She has direct information, documents and letters because she is his family member. It was expensive, that's for sure.
Rudolph Valentino 1895-1926
oooh, details please!! see now that book, the one by his niece, I would find extremely credible. I just wish most of these bios weren't "side-oriented" ya know what I mean? Like there's a group thats dead set on him being gay. there's another that thinks he was a materialistic ego driven womanizing man whore. it's just a shame that all people wanna know is what the worst was in that person, fiction or not. To me, he was just a normal regular guy just trying to fit old world views into a booming new world and trying to keep up with both at the same time. I'm gonna hunt around and see if I can't get my hands on it. Until then, I'll read vicariously through you! lol
[I] "There comes a time in every women's life when the only thing that helps is a glass of champagne."[/FONT]
that is wild! Natacha was such a strange bird, i love the look on her face! If he did hook up with Nita it was probably just "It's a quarter after one and i'm all alone.." sex. I didn't see much chemistry between them in Blood and Sand not anywhere near what Vilma and him had. sigh, they were sooooo good together! kinda like an olden day Leo and Kate, (who i'm still desperately waiting to hear news on. Oh, they will get together!) just wonderful! I wonder if the whole nephew thing is really true...didn't someone post a pic of the two of them on here? I'm gonna hunt thru and compare the kid to both Rudy and Al. Al had such,I'll be nice, "prominent" features that if the kid was really his it be easy to tell right? but if it wasn't...Que the unsolved mysteries theme!

Rudy's Girl:
When I was researching Valentino several years ago I ran across an interesting little item you may like... ESPECIALLY since you live in the Bay area! When Rudy first moved to the West Coast, he lived in San Francisco for a short time working as a professional dancer. He shared an apartment up on Bush Street - there's a picture of the building as it looks now on a Rudy tribute website. I found it especially intriguing since - when I first moved to the City back in the late 70's, I ALSO lived on Bush street... just a couple of blocks from Rudy's old building [I recognized it from the online pics]! I wish I had known it then... it would've given the old neighborhood a little extra style and class [not that it was THAT bad even then]!!! It's a pretty small world, after all, isn't it?
there's a photo of Rudy's family at rudolph-valentino.com in the 'photos' section under 'family' that's of the whole clan and a little boy in the front. if that's the nephew in question then it's more than likely Al's (they share the same nose) and not rudy's. Maybe I'm wrong, anywho thought maybe you'd like to take a peek!
[I] "There comes a time in every women's life when the only thing that helps is a glass of champagne."[/FONT]
d, I saw that pic and I agree. To me Jean looks like Alberto with the same nose. Any luck finding the book? When you do, we can really go over some of the stuff that's written. Now that we are getting close to finishing out the holidays, I'm going to start on the book written by Rudy's niece...
Rudolph Valentino 1895-1926
let us know if u get to any interesting parts! I'm gonna get my hands on that book soon! the anticipation is killing me! I'm gonna have ta check out Dark Lover again from the library...
[I] "There comes a time in every women's life when the only thing that helps is a glass of champagne."[/FONT]
Hi Doyleloyal and Rudy's Girl! I didn't know about the book from the great-niece until I read about it on this thread. I'll have to take a look. I read Affairs Valentino and loved the book. It was rather large and bulky but felt it was pretty interesting. I've seen a picture of the nephew and Alberto taken together later in life and I thought there were some features (especially the eyes) that made me think it was possible that Rudy could be his father. But I really have no idea. A funny side note... I bought Affairs Valentino from Amazon and posted about it on the site. Big mistake!! Too much controversy! I was accused of being related to the author (or was the author herself) and told that was the only reason I would have posted a positive review. Later I found my name on a website as an alias for the author of Affairs Valentino. Pretty funny!! I wish I had access to all that info, I'd be in heaven! I have to buy the books like everyone else.
Anyway, nice to see you both on here... haven't posted in awhile. Take care!
wow that was u?!? Yea them people seriously were getting out of hand with their comments on there, i'm tellin ya there's some hardcore fans out there! I'm gonna have to suck it up and buy that book. Most of her "findings" seemed pretty outrageous to me but still if there's a book about Valentino I'm gonna read it!
[I] "There comes a time in every women's life when the only thing that helps is a glass of champagne."[/FONT]
Hey guys! I hope everyone had a great New Years. Life has just been so crazy lately and I have been so backed up on everything. I still haven't had a chance to start reading Rudy's niece's book, but I'm going to start. In the mean time, I came across a more rare Rudy clip. Some may or may not have seen it. There is a part in the clip where Rudy is holding a couple of children. It's rather sad knowing he wanted to be a father so bad and never had the chance. Also at the end Nita reaching up and tapping him. I really do believe she had the hots for him. But I agree with d, I love Rudy and Vilma!
Rudolph Valentino 1895-1926
the presentation was outstanding, offering fresh source material about valentino and debunking the gay myth. you also mischaracterize the make-up as being instant - it was certainly not. the purpose of the press conference was to promote her book which introduces ground breaking material. the gay issue was just a titillating and provocative way of achieving that end since so many people seem obsessed with that subject. the book itself of course covers much more ground.
so old rudy was a pistol waiving irate jealous husband? very interesting....thank you for posting the links.
Some more Rudy clips....
I don't know if this has been posted, but this is a rather rare one. This shows a famous impersonator back in the twenties who changes into different stars. It's suppose to be a big illusion, but of course they really are the stars themselves including Rudy.
For those who like the paranormal. Here is a clip of a paranormal researcher who says she made contact with Rudy at Hollywood Forever Cemetery.

I've always liked this Rudy beach video. He looks so good.
It's funny when I think about Natacha announcing right in front of her family that Rudy looked his best totally naked.
Edited to say that the girl running on the beach with Rudy is none other then Virginia Rappe, the actress who died in the Fatty Arbuckle scandel...

I have been following this thread for quite some time. I have always been fascinated by silent film stars since I was a little girl. My Great Grandma was a flapper and had a lot of autographed picture of the stars from her era. I used to look at them all the time. I don't remember seeing Rudy's picture ( I was pretty little!!) But I am fascinated by Valentino though!! So much history, and so much sadness!! I would really like to get a book about his life and learn more, and I thought you ladies would be able to direct me to the best one to start with! My guess was Dark Lover? So what do you all think?
I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best. Marilyn Monroe
Yes, Dark Lover is an excellent start. A good companion book for any Rudy fan is The Valentino Mystique by Allan R. Ellenberger. This book is full of good information, facts and lists. Another book which I am going to start to read was written by Rudy's great grand niece, Jeanine Therese Villalobos called Rudolph Valentino: The Early Years 1895-1920. She has access to personal family information, letters etc.
Rudolph Valentino 1895-1926
I mentioned that Rudy's great grand niece Jeanine, had recently written and published a book called Rudolph Valentino: The Early Years 1895-1920. I just found out that Jeanine is writing a totally complete biography on her uncle. This should be good because as I have said, she has a lot of information, letters, documents, etc. on Rudy and being a family member she knows a lot about him.

Cool! Very excited to read it! Love the pics to by the way, that scene from Son of the sheik is one of my all time favs!

Hi d! I guess there is also a story behind the intense love scene shown in the picture with Rudy and Alice Terry. This movie, The Four Horsemen Of The Apocalypse was directed by Alice Terry's husband, Rex Ingram. Supposedly Ingram didn't treat Rudy very nice and they didn't really get along. So when it came down to this particular love scene with Rudy and Alice, Rudy really laid it on thick, grabbing her boob and kissing her all over while Ingram had to watch from behind the director's chair. Yes, Rudy liked to touch women's breasts in some of his scenes, but with Alice he wanted to rub it in to Ingram because of his treatment of him. So they say that is.....

and l love him even MORE! probably now my favorite fun fact about ole Rudy. well... not to burst a happy bubble but apparently the ode to valentino that they've had on tcm every year since i can remember is not happening this year! I'm so bummed, I feel i should email robert osborune personally about this cinematic tragedy. there's not even a "valentine salute" to anyone at all! I think TCM is slippin...

I'm been having a Valentino night!
Does anybody know what Falcon Liar looks like now? I've been trying to find recent pictures of it, but the only ones I can find are when it is still be remodeled (and if anymore knows where I could find the original floorplans I would be forever indedted! I don't know why, but i love floor plans I can spend hours looking at them!)
I came across this as well..
Man if i had a spare 20,000,00€ < i don't have a dollar sign on my keyboard so imagine it's that! What a great item to have.
I was trying to figure out why the legacy of Valentino continues to this day ( besides the obvious...ie marry me you big hunk) for me I guess it the hubba hubba, i doooooooooo aspect, but he also gives off a kind of mysterious ( stating the obvious i know) aura about him, but mysterious in a ( not a creepy way per say) but dark undertone kind of way, if you know what I'm saying He's abit like Charlier Chaplin in that aspect, I love CC films but man he gives me the heebie jeebies, I kind of figured in might be a clown phobia type of thing (lol) you know kind of hiding behind a mask, and not knowing what is really underneth it...
It's time like this I wish I knew someone like you guys, so I can rambled on like this in RL!
Rambling over
d, I was P.O.ed too about the Valentino movies not being on TCM. I wonder WTH happened?
Rudolph Valentino 1895-1926
Thanks RG
And thanks for the link, i had already seen it, but always nice to see it again. I love the name of his house as well, it just kind of adds more to his aura and mystique! I can almost image him saying in his thick accent " come with me to The Falcon Lair" ...oh my! ö it's the perfect name of a house for him!
The picture is great, i can't remember ever seeing it before )
I finished reading Dark Lover last week, have you read it? what did you think? I really enjoyed it, got through in 1 weekend, lots of nice photos
I've read afew biographies and like you said, there is an awful lot of BS flying around about him, but Dark Lover I thought was nice and balanced
Just saw as well that there is a new film about his life coming out this year

Byron I love the name Falcon Lair too! It's so majestic. I can just picture Rudy there, in his smoking jacket with his pipe in his hand, sitting in his big arm chair in front of a roaring fire. It's all so romantic...
Yes, I enjoyed Dark Lover very much, though parts were very sad. As you said with all of the other stuff out there, this bio was quite balanced. I don't know how much of this thread you have read, but there is a book written by Rudy's great grand niece, Jeanine Villalobos which describes his early years. Jeanine knows the true stories and has letters and documents and such. This book is a dissertation, a beginning to a full biography of her uncle Rudolph Valentino. It is said that it will be the ultimate bio on Rudy, I can't wait!
Here is the link again to her dissertation on Amazon. It's a bit expensive, but full of accurate information....
Yes, I have heard about the new Rudy film. I've talked to some other Rudy fans and some are waiting to see it to see what it is all about and others have been less enthused. I guess it is sort of like some of my Marilyn Monroe fan friends who dislike it if someone else tries to portray her. I guess we will have to see what happens...
Thanks for the link...Gawd that is expensive I bet it's a great read though.
It's a shame there are no reviews, I would possibly put my pennies aside for something like this
Jeanine Villalobos dissertation is absolutely fascinating. It's my favorite Rudy book ever. Just by reading Rudy's personal correspondence with his family and friends it clears up so much incorrect information that has been printed about him over the years. Amazing book. So well written! Definitely buy it!
Thanks GlamourGirl, damn now you have made me want it like right now!
i'll have to good with my money though, but i'm sure in a couple of months i'll be holding this in my hands
You're very welcome! Have fun reading it when you get it! You will definitely love it!
So true! Can't wait to read it!
RG- I don't know but I was P.O.'D at TCM! btw, I love the pics you find

Thanks, Rudy's Girl!! Haven't had much of a chance to be on here lately. Have a new job that keeps me pretty busy. Love the pictures! Appreciate you keeping our Rudy active! :-) I've made a few trips to Hollywood lately, and feel cheated that I find very few Valentino items at the shops on Hollywood Blvd. I always ask them to check their stock and they don't have much, if anything at all. Don't they know how many fans are out here?? I'd definitely purchase a life size cutout! haha... among other things.
Hi Dona! Good to see you in the Rudy thread. Hey if you do come across any cool Rudy stuff at those places, let us know. It would be interesting to hear what they have.

hey rg long time no see!! I really hope tcm will do like a birthday salute or something for him at least next month, they do for everyone else so why not him? love love love the pics!!! that one of him in uncharted is literally..moaning sigh..just yummy!! Is that a lost film though, i've never seen it or Cobra either (I know as a fan that's probably like blasphemy right?) I did read recently they are making a film primarily about his last days and I don't think the guy that plays him (which is another russian by the way..isn't that like the third one to play him? somethin weird about that) hardly looks like him. It'll b some art housy flick no less...I just wish they'd come out with a "for real" biographical movie about him. I think with the right director and decent budget they could really make a great "big" movie about him. that one they made with michelle phllips (who in my opinion played natacha perfectly) just ruined it for hollywood though, such a shame..

Hi d! So good to hear from you. Sorry it took a bit long to get back to the Rudy thread. Things have been kind of crazy lately. I do think that Uncharted is a lost movie, but yes he looks hella good in that picture. I think Cobra is kind of sad and depressing, but Rudy looks really, really great in that movie. He was really at his peek. So fine. That's the picture where he grabs Nita Naldi's boob, LOL. Yes, I heard about the new picture about Rudy. Sigh. I have come across other Rudy fans who aren't very happy about it. Everyone wants to see a good factual film about him for once! I know you and I sure do! The problem with these other Valentino movies is that many who see them think that everything in them is 100% true. Again it's nice to hear from you d, I hope everything is well.

Thanks for the info of rudy on youtube re impersonations.Iit was too cute. Never seen it before.
You're welcome eyesofrudy! It was a great piece, wasn't it? I think I read that it was Douglas Fairbanks who set the whole thing up to help the impersonator friend of his, and to make a fun piece of entertainment for his entertainment friends. Rudy was friends with everyone in this clip and they all liked him very much.

To commemorate the place where they met. To memorialize a dear brother. To encourage current and potential students. To give their name a place to live forever.
These are just a few reasons that alumni have purchased bricks for the UCA Legacy Walk, located in the heart of the campus in front of the student center near Old Main and Ferguson Chapel.
Each 4- by 8-inch brick is stamped with more than a name or graduation year. Pride in an alma mater is pressed into each step on the walk.
The UCA Legacy Walk is a timeless tradition, according to Haley Fowler, assistant director of Alumni Services.
"It represents alumni that have walked on this campus beginning with the first graduating class of 1909," she said. "It represents our school's history with four name changes: Normal School, Arkansas State Teachers College, State College of Arkansas and the University of Central Arkansas."
Fowler said the brick she purchased helps create school pride, spirit and tradition.
"I'd known that the university was going to build something like this and I wanted to be a part of it," said Darrell Horton, class of 1971, who purchased a brick with his wife, Karen. "I thought it was important for students of all ages to realize that others have come before and have that sense of history."
The Hortons, who have lived and taught music in Anchorage, Alaska, for the past 20 years, put inspiring quotes along with their names and graduation years. One says "Music is Eternal," and the other "Music Lives Forever." The Hortons are retiring at the end of this school year and plan to return to the central Arkansas area.
On their list of things to do is visit the site of their bricks.
"The UCA Legacy Walk is a good way to have your name remembered," Horton said. "If alumni were music majors or in orchestra or band, it is a really good way to encourage younger students if you put something musical on the brick. We hope to become more involved in concerts and student activities at UCA after we retire."
Kyle and Kristin Basham now live in Knoxville, Tenn., while Kyle, who recently finished medical school, works on his residency and Kristin teaches. While they have wonderful memories of their time at UCA, Kristin said it means the most to her because it is where they met.
"It was where we began our lives together and we are proud to be alumni," Kristin said. She and her husband purchased bricks for themselves, with words meaningful to them. It was one of the first times Dr. Kyle Basham, class of '07, used M.D. after his name, having almost finished medical school when he purchased the brick. Kristin says simply "Class of '09" and "Go Bears."
"We were really excited UCA did this," said Kristin, who has been encouraging her brother, also an alumnus, to purchase a piece of the Legacy Walk, "because it stays forever."
Kyle added that they also wished to support the foundation and the alumni association. "No one else will have a brick like yours," he said. "It is a good way to be a part of history."
Jay Hefner, class of '81, first thought of purchasing a brick to honor his brother, Ron, who died from cancer in 1994. Ron was an alumnus, having graduated in 1971, and meant a lot to his family, especially his little brother.
"Originally I had just wanted to get one for him," Hefner said. "Then I got to thinking about it and we've got several people in our family who have graduated from UCA and I thought it was a good idea to celebrate the fact that we had all graduated from UCA."
The purchase of one brick led to the purchase of five more – for Hefner, his wife, his two daughters and one son-in-law.
Hefner said his brother would have loved to have had a brick in the walk, explaining that Ron was 10 years older, and they shared a love of sports. Hefner now officiates football and his brother umpired softball and baseball. Hefner explained that his brother was an Arkansas and UCA fan, especially when he lived in Texas.
"I would encourage others to purchase bricks. UCA has been very good for my family," he said. "We've gotten a good education there and I'm very pleased with what they are doing now educationally and in the sports program." He also praised Tom Courtway's leadership as university president.
Fowler encouraged alumni to add their distinctive bricks to the walk and visit the walk in the future.
"This is a great opportunity for alumni to come back to campus and see how it has grown," she said.
UCA graduates may still purchase a personalized brick to be placed with other classmates' bricks around the amphitheater. For more information about the Legacy Walk, visit uca.edu/legacywalk.

OAKLAND -- The Oakland Athletics have acquired pitcher David Purcey from the Toronto Blue Jays in exchange for minor league pitcher Danny Farquhar.
Purcey, selected by Toronto with the 16th overall pick of the 2004 draft, made five relief appearances for the Jays this season and has surrendered three earned runs in 2 1/3 innings.
The left-hander, who turns 29 years old on Thursday, made 12 starts with the Blue Jays in 2008 and posted a record of 3-6 with a 5.54 ERA. He owns a career big league mark of 5-10 with a 5.42 ERA in 59 games, including 21 starts.
Farquhar will head back to Toronto after being traded to the Athletics last November in a deal that sent outfielder Rajai Davis to the Blue Jays. Farquhar, a 24-year-old right-hander, had allowed one unearned run in eight innings at Triple-A Sacramento this season.
Oakland also had to make a move to get Purcey on the 40-man roster and did so by transferring pitcher Rich Harden to the 60-day disabled list. Harden, who signed with Oakland as a free agent last December, was placed on the 15-day DL in March with a strained right shoulder.

Worse yet, I am sure it is the same transmission as my car, which means 2nd gear start. You must have to floor it to make it move. I suspect 0-60 in that 190D is 30 seconds or so.

Well, if it'll fit in a PT Cruiser, you never know!

I wonder which engine is physically smaller, a Ford 302 or a Chevy smallblock? I know they're both notably smaller than a Mopar smallblock. I think one reason that the Sunbeam Tiger went away was because when Mopar took them over, their 273/318 A-engine would not fit in there, while the Ford 289/302 block would.
One thing the Ford has going for it is light weight, around 500 lb. In comparison, the Chevy smallblock was a bit of a porker, around 575, although with modern technological advances, I guess newer crate engines are lighter. The Mopar smallblock, while physically larger, was only around 525 lb, 550 for the 360.

No doubt a small V8 would fit - I have seen 5.0 Ford engines in W123s, supposedly not too tough. I was thinking something that could even be mated to the existing transmission and cooling system without many issues.
texases Posts: 7,822Just saw the episode on the Renault Alpine A310. Put 13,500 in, got 13,500 out (excluding labor). But it was great seeing them come up with a custom spanner to remove the wheel bearings.
The problem with a V-8 transplant would be that the engine sound (or lack of it) would give the car away. Even a modern diesel would be too quiet. About the most powerful engine that I think could provide the right sonic ambience would be a turbocharged 3 liter from a 300SD or a '82+ 300D. Any other candidates? Of course, you could just put a speaker in the engine bay and feed it the sound of the 190D at idle. Once you are moving, the jig is up anyway.

An 80s era diesel can be made to be pretty loud, that might be a good bet. But, that won't win any races even as a turbo, it would just be easier to drive. If one is looking to be a freakshow sleeper drag racer, there's no real way to get that old sound.
another interesting swap, and much easier to fit, is a 2.3l 4, or one of the kompressor engines. If the I6 fit, that should have plenty of room!

Fact is, I could live with the performance of a 300 turbodiesel engine if it would fit. I like fintails and the 300 engine would make it useable on the freeway. I wonder if you could mate it up with the original 4-speed, and if it could take the greater output of the transplanted engine. I would want to swap out the rear end, I think. Didn't the 190D have a final drive ratio in the mid to high 4's?
2009 BMW 335i, 2003 Corvette cnv. (RIP 2001 Jaguar XK8 cnv and 1985 MB 380SE [the best of the lot])
A kompressor or the I6 out of a 300E would be decent - I know the latter puts out about 180hp, which would be fine in a ~3000lb car.
Anything to get 0-60 down around 15 secs or less is needed, and maybe make the car capable of freeway speeds. I suspect the transmissions were overbuilt enough to take a somewhat more powerful engine. A complete W123 turbodiesel powertrain swap might not be a huge job. The ratio in a diesel fintail must be high, contributing to its minimal high speed capability. My I6 fintail also has what must be a high ratio (don't know it off my head), it really buzzes along over 70 or so, but the engine doesn't mind.
That's pretty much what I did with my truck. It had sat for 23 years but only had 29,000 miles on the clock. Well, what chance was there that I was going to have to put a lot of money into it to get it running? I thought the chance was fairly high, so I paid $500 for it (back in 1997).
Turns out, I won that bet. I only put about $250 into it along with about two hours of work, and it was running like a top. Another $600 for new tires and I was good to go.2014 Audi Q7 TDI, 2008 and 2013 Subaru Forester(s), 1969 Chevrolet C20 Pickup, 1969 Ford Econoline 100, 1976 Ford F250 Pickup

That '77 Bonneville is a good looking car. Nice colors, and big engine. I wonder how low he'd go, money-wise.
The '83 Continental is nice, too. These were always my least favorite of the bustlebacks, but I'm finding that I like them more and more. I think part of it is that I see them less often than an Imperial or Seville. And, one thing in the Continental's favor is that it had fairly good drivetrains. The 302 V-8 was always decent, as far as I know. I guess some of the earlier 4-speed automatics could still be troublesome, and I've heard air suspensions could be problematic...and expensive. But in contrast, the '81-83 Imperial had finicky fuel injection, and the Seville, after 1980 at least, was stuck with either a V-8-6-4, Diesel, or aluminum 249.
The earlier Continentals had Ford's CFI which absolutely was better than GM or Chryslers alternatives, but certainly not great. The problem with it is that today there aren't many people who understand it, and a few of the sensors are pretty expensive. Those 5.0s also had crappy timing sets and once they stretch the car will not run well.

toomanyfumes S.E. Wisconsin Posts: 1,004When I was a teen I had a '68 Galaxie 2-door in those exact colors, tan with the white painted roof. I don't think I've seen another like it. Of course mine had lots of miles, rust and a saggy rear end, but it was fairly reliable and a decent performer with the 302 V-8.2012 Mustang Premium, 2013 Lincoln MKX Elite, 2007 Mitsubishi Outlander.
I bet if you approached Bonneville guy with say $3800 in cash, you'd be driving away in it. I like the colors of that car, and it appears fairly loaded - I see power seat too.
Lincoln seems like a deal for $2K if it starts drives and stops. I also notice it has digital dash.
Cool - my first car was a 66 Galaxie, and my dad had a 68 Fairlane among his hobby cars when I was a teen (I remember similar steering wheel to that 68 Galaxie). I have no desire to rekindle the experience of my first car - it was a 390 that was very thirsty and cold blooded. Sharp looking car anyway, but most were for 66.
My own project car got a little upgrade today:

So, is that minivan your daily driver - just kidding!
Some old sales material showing similar tires:
I was thinking they might be too wide, but if they are, it is marginal, maybe 1cm.
Funny thing - there were a few 5-6 year old kids getting out of that Odyssey when I drove by, and one remarked "that's so cool!". The tires are pretty ostentatious - you notice the car now.
I think the nice thing about your car is that it is "distinctively" an MB, wide whitewalls or not. Not as obvious on some of the newer models until you get up close.

Thanks for the compliments, everybody. They do really set off the car, and make it look nicer than it is - something the car has always done well. An even better 10 footer, now. They are so stark white, I assume they will mellow a little with time.
I think the whitewall is maybe 1cm (say 1/4-1/3 inch) too wide, maybe intended for Pontons. Probably nobody but an expert would notice this, so I shouldn't sweat it. My car is also a 220SE, not a lowline 190D or something, so they fit in. Also, W111 fintails are 1959 cars, made for several years later but virtually unchanged. The tires fit that time period, they do have some blackwall - not all the way to the ground like earlier tires.
The tires on this link look similar to mine (pamphlet from 1959-60)

And the cover of a DVD I bought at the MB Museum:
This claim still give me a smirk:

NEW YORK {AP} Less than two years after being fired, Marv Albert is back at NBC.
NBC, which fired Albert in September 1997 after he pleaded guilty to misdemeanor assault charges in a sex case, rehired the play-by-play announcer on Tuesday.
"It still hasn't completely set in," Albert said. "It's kind of a euphoria a nice, weird feeling."
Albert won't return to his former role as the network's top play-by-play man for NBA games, but will complement its existing teams.
"I'm just so happy to be back and to be part of the NBC situation. ... There will be plenty of national exposures and I'm very satisfied to come home," Albert said.
Albert agreed to a multiyear deal with NBC. He will return to NBA coverage and will work about 15 regular-season games and the first four weekends of the playoffs.
He will also be involved in boxing telecasts during the 2000 Olympics and hockey in the 2002 Winter Games.
NBC sports chairman Dick Ebersol made it known shortly after firing Albert that he was interested in bringing him back.
Reports that Fox was close to signing Albert for its NFL games prompted Ebersol to work quickly.
"I was actually reading that Marv was in discussions with Fox and it told me that this was the opportunity to move or we wouldn't be able to do this for three or four years," Ebersol said. "I realized I'd better react immediately."

DPP announces highest ever conviction rate for domestic violence at Women's Aid conference
The Director of Public Prosecutions, speaking at the Women's Aid national conference in Birmingham on 2 July, will announce the highest ever recorded conviction rate for domestic violence prosecutions.
Alison Saunders will tell the conference that 74.6% of those prosecuted for domestic violence were convicted in 2013-4. This is 58,276 defendants. Domestic violence now makes up more than ten per cent of CPS total casework.
Prosecutions for offences of Violence against Women and Girls overall also showed the highest ever conviction rate at 74.4%, and an 11% increase in the volume of defendants charged since 2012-13. Over 8,000 more cases than last year were brought to court, with over 6,500 more convictions.
Alison Saunders, the Director of Public Prosecutions, said: "The conviction rate for domestic violence is higher than ever before. Three quarters of people who are prosecuted for domestic violence offences are now convicted. What's more, nine in ten of the domestic violence convictions arise from guilty pleas meaning that the vast majority of victims are spared having to give evidence in court. I hope victims of these terrible offences will take some confidence from this, and that perpetrators will take note.
"I am incredibly proud of what the CPS has achieved in recent years in tackling violence against women and girls. Taken as a whole, referrals from police are up, prosecutions are up, and convictions are up. This is in no small part due to the leadership shown by dedicated specialist coordinators in every CPS area and the determination of our prosecutors and case workers to see justice done for victims of crime. The work of external experts from organisations such as Women's Aid and rape crisis centres has been invaluable locally and nationally to inform our policies and practice. We remain committed to building on our achievements further and continuing to address areas for improvement."
The Solicitor General, Oliver Heald QC MP said: "Violence against women and girls is not acceptable, and those that commit violence need to know that they are not going to get away with it. Getting that message across is one of our key priorities and the criminal justice system has a key role to play acting as a deterrent to would-be offenders, and punishing those who do commit these crimes.
"I'm pleased to see the vast improvement the CPS has made in handling their prosecutions for these sorts of crimes, and that we have the highest ever conviction rate in Domestic Violence cases. There is still more to do, but this is good news and shows what can be done when the whole criminal justice system works together to make improvements."
Polly Neate, Chief Executive of Women's Aid said: "We welcome the new statistics from the CPS today that show the highest ever recorded conviction rate for domestic violence prosecutions. It is vital that women experiencing abuse feel confident that they will be taken seriously and supported by the criminal justice system; this increase in the conviction rate sends a strong message that the CPS is committed to ensuring victims get justice. It also signals to perpetrators that their behaviour is unacceptable and they will be held accountable. We look forward to continuing to work with the CPS and other frontline agencies to make further progress in ensuring that all perpetrators of domestic violence are prosecuted and convicted. Ultimately, both we and the CPS hope to ensure that women and children who experience domestic violence are able to access the justice they deserve."
The DPP will speak at the Women's Aid national conference as the seventh annual CPS Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG) Crime Report is published.
In addition to the highest ever recorded conviction rate for domestic violence, and for violence against women and girls as a whole, the report also shows:
- Sexual offences: The volume of convictions for sexual offences excluding rape reached the highest ever volume at 6,756, a rise of 13% from the year before.
- Child abuse: volume of prosecutions reached 7,998 - a rise of 440 (5.8%) since 2012-13. There was a rise in the volume of convictions in the overall child abuse cases from 5,755 in 2012-13 to 6,096 in 2013-14 (from 76.1% convicted in 2012-13 to 76.2% in 2013-14).
- Forced marriage: The volume of forced marriage referrals from the police rose to 67 in 2013-14 - from 59 in 2012-13. Forty two (62.7% of these referrals) were charged, the highest volumes ever recorded and the same proportion as in 2012-13.
- Honour based violence: The volume of referrals from the police of honour based violence related offences rose to 240 in 2013-14 - from 230 in 2012-13. One hundred and fifty eight (65.8%) of these referrals were charged, the highest volumes and proportions ever recorded.
In June, the DPP and the national policing lead for adult sexual offences announced a major new action plan to tackle rape after statistics for the year 2013-14 - which are included in today's report - showed that the steady rise in the conviction rate had halted, despite a rise in volume. The published action plan set out their clear commitment to addressing the issues preventing rape cases from successfully progressing through the criminal justice system.

Brock denied Appanoose County Attorney position
CENTERVILLE — During a search to fill the vacant position of Appanoose County Attorney, the Appanoose County Board of Supervisors interviewed Washington County Attorney Larry Brock for the position, according to the Daily Iowegian.
An article in the newspaper today confirmed that Brock was one of three candidates interviewed earlier this month. The paper reported that a committee of six people interviewed the candidates. The Appanoose County Board of Supervisors approved hiring candidate Susan Daniels. Brock is currently a candidate for the GOP nod for Washington County Attorney in the June 3 primary election, where he is facing newcomer Shawn Showers.
During a previous interview, Brock declined comment about whether he applied for the vacant county attorney position in Appanoose County. He also declined comment on whether he had applied for any other openings.
The Appanoose County Attorney position had been vacant since county attorney Richard Scott died in April.
The Daily Iowegian has also filed a complaint against the Appanoose County Board of Supervisors, alleging that it violated open meetings laws while interviewing the candidates. The newspaper said that all three supervisors were present during the interviews. The Daily Iowegian, which has a written request for all agendas, was not informed of the meetings.
During a phone interview with The Washington Evening Journal last week, Appanoose County Board chairman Dean Castor had declined comment on whether Brock had been interviewed, though he did say the interviews had been done during open meetings.

Witham, Lubenow receive distinguished service awards
Two veterans of the North Dakota newspaper profession were honored at a special luncheon Friday, June 29, a celebratory extension of the original awarding of the honors by the North Dakota Newspaper Association at their milestone 125th annual convention in May.
Donovan Witham, founder of the West Fargo Pioneer, and the late Wayne Lubenow, a longtime reporter and columnist, were singled out with Distinguished Service Awards which are presented to persons who have made a lasting contribution to the North Dakota newspaper industry.
Witham and his daughter and son-in-law, Kathy and Brad Brinkman, and granddaughter, Morgan, were in attendance for acceptance of the award along with Lubenow's widow, Rosie.
A variety of other friends and former associates were on-hand to join in the congratulatory message.
Ironically, Witham's longtime colleague and friend Don Gackle had planned the special gathering Friday and was unable to attend after being hospitalized. Sadly, word was received Monday from the North Dakota Newspaper Association office that Gackle had passed away Sunday evening.
Witham and his late wife Betty started the West Fargo Pioneer in 1967 and operated the weekly newspaper, and other publications including the popular free circulation shopper The Midweek Eagle until their retirement in 2004, at which time Forum Communications Company purchased the business.
Witham continued his newspaper connection with a generous donation to the North Dakota Newspaper Association Education Foundation that established the Donovan and Betty Witham Excellence in Newspapers Symposiums.
Witham was a longtime West Fargo resident but relocated to Fargo after Betty's death in March.of 2012.
Lubenow began his professional career at The Bismarck Tribune, and was a reporter and columnist for The Forum of Fargo-Moorhead for many years. In 1971, he began writing feature stories and columns for weekly newspapers in North Dakota, which he continued until his death in 1991. His wife, Rosie, continues to live in Fargo.
Both Witham and Rosie expressed their gratitude and appreciation for the distinguished service award recognition, thanking everyone who attended the Friday luncheon event and who through the years had offered resources and support.
The NDNA membership is comprised of 80 weekly and 10 daily newspapers in North Dakota.

Entry #58
...we get a new Inuyasha game? How about that? I dunno. Seems like a cool idea to me. I don't know what exactly makes Naruto the greatest anime on earth and is deserving of 500000 fucking games.
I just think it'd be awesome. Like have it be a fighting game, like Feudal Combat but have almost all the characters be playable. And have the game be made with effort and all that.
I think if the right people wanted to, they could make a REALLY good Inuyasha game..
TOO BAD THAT WILL NEVER HAPPEN EVER HAHA OH BOY I CANT WAIT FOR NARUTO-NINJA-STORM-ANAL-BUFFER-SUCKING-SASUKES-D ICK-ALL-NIGHT-LONG-BOY-I-NEVER-IMAGINED-THAT-TOB I-WAS-OBITO-HAHA-WHAT-A-REVELATION-SUPER-MAX-TRI PLE-THROWING-STORM-DELUX-NINJA-CLASHING-GIANT-CO CKS-GOLD-PLUS 3 for Xbox 360!
Can't wait for that series to end. Maybe Japan will start focusing on other shit. I'm not even a Naruto hater. It's a decent series. (Though the fans are.....)
I just want ONE REALLY REALLY REALLY good Inuyasha game. Like the ultimate Inuyasha game that would make me go "Yeah. This is what I needed."

Tired of naruto and dragon ball z games
They had had clash of ninja 2 and then I stop caring
Dragon ball z had buffalo tenkiechi 3 and then the rest was just useless
But they found two game kids will never let go of so they will use and abuse them as much as they can
2013-01-24 23:18:03
I saw this post a few days ago, so when I went to the library today, what did I see? The first 3 volumes of Inuyasha. Question is, which has been better: the cartoons or the games?

Towns and Villages
Bonalbo, the heart of the Upper Clarence, established in 1910. This quaint village's name is interpreted from the Aboriginal word 'bunawblu' meaning bloodwood tree which are dotted throughout the region's lush forests. Bonalbo is also the centre for the surrounding areas for timber, dairying and cattle-grazing industries.
Bonalbo is a lifestyle away from the hustle-and-bustle of larger centres, providing a relaxing atmosphere. The main community needs and services are catered for, along with a variety of recreational facilities to provide the individual or group with a diverse range of activities. From golf, bushwalking, swimming, site seeing, lawn bowls, picnicking, family barbeques with the oval providing large open space for fun activities. It is well worth a visit to Bonalbo to see the Working Dog Statue, located in a beautiful rose garden in the centre of the village. The statue commemorates and honours working dogs and cattle dog trials. For more information drop in to the newly accredited Visitor Information Centre. There is also a caravan park located in Bonalbo.

CLEVELAND -- Police are currently investigating what appears to be an aggravated robbery which occurred at 7 p.m. July 8 at 2103 West 38th Street.
Police say the victims are two boys, ages 9 and 5. The boys told police that they were outside their home riding on a bicycle and skateboard when a man approached them and demanded the bicycle.
The man reportedly pushed the 5-year-old down and pointed a handgun at the 9-year-old. He then left the area on the bicycle southbound on West 38th street.
Police say the suspect is described as black, 28, standing 5'9" tall and weighing 170 lbs.
The stolen bicycle is a kid's mountain bike, black in color, with "Schwinn" written in orange on the frame.
Anyone with information regarding this incident is asked to contact the Second District Detective Bureau at 216-623-5218.

PONTOTOC, Miss. (WCBI)-A group of Pontotoc firemen are asking the Board of Alderman to donate an older model fire truck to paint it pink.
The 1985 fire truck, if donated, would be repainted pink in honor of those battling cancer. The local Pink Heals Pontotoc Chapter would use fund-raising and promotional activities involving the truck to help victims of cancer and their families. The idea came from larger cities like Memphis where they sale shirts and other merchandise to raise funds for families and for fuel to tour local communities. One fireman says it's just another way to reach out to their community.
"We started a chapter here called pink hills and they raise money to help local people that has cancer and to help them with bills and to take care of their family while they are in need of going and getting treatment," says Brad White.
Once the fire truck is painted pink, cancer patients and their families will get a chance to add their signatures to the truck.

For anyone out there who is a regular follower of what has been happening in regards to race relations in this country, you will no doubt be familiar with Chris Matthews. You will also recognize his mantra and mode of operation: anyone that he doesn't like, he labels them as either an incompetent fool or as a racist. Lately, he seems to clearly favor the racist charge. Apparently, this is in vogue now that we have had a number of incidents that are inciting people towards racial intolerance.
During the recent Martin Luther King, jr celebrations (a few days ago it was the 50th anniversary of his "I Have a Dream" speech and there were big gatherings in a number of key locations across the country), Chris Matthews took it upon himself to bring up his favorite topic once again.This time he suggested that anyone who opposes Obama is basically a racist. Not only that, but that all of us conservatives out there are being dishonest by refusing to admit or acknowledge that are real problem with Obama as President is that he is black.
Isn't that convenient, Chris? This way, you and your cronies in the media are off the hook. You do not have to try and defend all of Obama's failed policies and ideas on their merits. Obviously just screaming racism is much easier since defending much of what Obama has done…well, clearly it is impossible to defend the indefensible.
After all, we are all familiar with the policies that the Obama Regime has put into place over the past years. We have Obama's IRS targeting conservative groups, we have his NSA actually spying on citizens without any just cause or warrants, we have Benghazi, we have Edward Snowden… We could go on and on, but that should suffice for now.
No, it simply is inconceivable to people like Matthews that their liberal, communist, leftist-fascist Obama is just simply failing. How could anyone be against a man with such un-American values, ideas, and policies? So, of course, if there are opponents out there it must certainly mean that they hold a personal vendetta against the man, and the only possible reason for this (according to the Matthews bunch) is that those opponents are racist.
That is a lot to bite off, even for Matthews. He has also said that there is a certain amount of people that want Obama to have an asterisk next to his name in the history books. He is talking about the controversy over Obama's birth and citizenship. Of course, it is still a fact that he has not released his birth certificate, which would certainly put an end to all of these similar claims…provided Obama is what he claims to be.
But, of course, Matthews goes further than this. He claims that the reason why some of 'us' (conservatives who would really like to see Obama's birth certificate) continue pursuing this and asking questions is because we are racist. Gee, what a big surprise coming from Matthews. You know something, as a political writer I would not feel like I had done a very good job until Chrissy-boy called me a racist, how about that! He says that the reason for "all this birther crap" is that we have a superiority of the white race complex.
I see, Chris, so the real reason why I want Obama to prove his claims by simply releasing his birth certificate is because I am supremacist? OK, now I understand. Thanks for clearing it all up, Chris. Oh, wait a minute, I suppose if we were all racists that we would have asked to see the birth certificates of other prominent black leaders and politicians. How about Jesse Jackson, the Reverend Al Sharpton, Eric Holder, Charles Rangel? Nope, have no interest in seeing their birth certificates because there has never been any questions in this regard. The thing is, Obama opened himself up to all this mess when he published his first book. So, the whole thing could have been avoided. And certainly, if he started this, then he should take the steps to end the confusion. However, maybe he is afraid of what it will ultimately reveal?

What Premier Wynne Needs to Learn From Finland
Ontario needs to leverage much more value-added manufacturing from its rich mineral resources like South Africa and Finland. The Ring of Fire will create thousands of mining, transportation and supply and service jobs. But thousands of additional, well paying, value-added jobs could be secured if Ontario successfully attracts one or more stainless steel mills.

Quality butyl rubber tube with Schraeder valve for 18 inch wheels and 1.75 - 2.125in widths.
There are currently no questions and answers for this product.
There are currently no reviews for this product.
• A high quality inner tube at a reasonable price
• Welded butyl rubber construction
• Great value replacement tube for children's cycles
• Schraeder 'car type' valve
Most manufacturers can supply tubes in bulk boxes to bike shops, usually at discounted prices. Due to the volume of inner tubes we sell, we usually buy tubes in bulk boxes; so that we can pass on these savings to our customers.
So if your order contains unboxed tubes rest assured they are of the same quality as regular boxed ones. The only way in which they differ from a boxed product is exactly that, no box!
