NCF Nation: Brandon Sharpe
QB: Teddy Bridgewater, Louisville. What more can I say about Bridgewater, who began his 2013 Heisman campaign with a big game against Florida in the Allstate Sugar Bowl? Bridgewater went 20-of-32 for two touchdowns in the decisive 33-23 win.
RB: Prince-Tyson Gulley, Syracuse. Gulley was a running machine, busting free for a career-high 213 yards and three total touchdowns in a 38-14 win over West Virginia in the New Era Pinstripe Bowl.
RB: George Winn, Cincinnati. Winn capped a great senior season, running for 130 yards and a touchdown in a 48-34 win over Duke in the Belk Bowl.
OT: Justin Pugh, Syracuse. There is a reason Pugh has declared early for the NFL draft. He showed why he is one of the best tackles in the country in the win over West Virginia, helping pave the way for 369 yards rushing and protecting Ryan Nassib well.
OT: Alex Kupper, Louisville. Those who have followed the Cardinals believe Kupper had one of the best performances of his career in the win over the Gators. For the first time in a four-game stretch, Louisville was able to get its run game going.
C: Mario Benavides, Louisville. Benavides has been the best center in the Big East for several years, and he played well in the final game of his career.
OG: Austen Bujnoch, Cincinnati. Bujnoch played with a foot injury after missing most of the bowl practices and had another great game as the Bearcats ran for 222 yards.
OG: Zack Chibane, Syracuse. Chibane teamed with Pugh on the left side to open huge holes all day.
TE: Travis Kelce, Cincinnati. Kelce capped his monster season with a monster game, catching five passes for a career-high 123 yards -- including the 83-yard game-winning touchdown catch with 44 seconds left.
WR: Anthony McClung, Cincinnati. McClung had three catches for 110 yards and a 25-yard touchdown against Duke in the Belk Bowl in one of the best performances of his career.
WR: Devin Street, Pitt. The Panthers had a dreadful day on offense, but Street was a bright spot with seven catches for 83 yards and a touchdown in a 38-17 loss to Ole Miss in the BBVA Compass Bowl.
DL: Marcus Smith, Louisville. Smith came through in a big way on the line in a dominating performance against Florida. His name does not show up often on the stat sheet, but he made his presence felt.
DL: Brandon Sharpe, Syracuse. Sharpe was a big reason why Geno Smith was flustered all day long. Sharpe finished with four tackles, a sack and a forced fumble on the day.
DL: Jamil Merrell, Rutgers. Merrell had a huge game in a 13-10 overtime loss to Virginia Tech, notching a career-high two sacks in the game as the Scarlet Knights held the Hokies to 196 yards of total offense.
LB: Siriki Diabate, Syracuse. Diabate led the way with 10 tackles, three tackles for loss and half a sack, and he contributed to a safety early in the win over the Mountaineers.
LB: Greg Blair, Cincinnati. Blair set a Cincinnati bowl record with a game-high 15 tackles. He forced and recovered a fumble early that changed the momentum against the Blue Devils.
LB: Preston Brown, Louisville. Brown finished with 13 tackles -- 1.5 for loss -- and one pass breakup in the win over the Gators.
LB: Khaseem Greene, Rutgers. Greene was a stalwart once again, finishing the loss to Virginia Tech with 11 tackles, half a sack and one forced fumble he recovered in the end zone -- the only Rutgers touchdown of the game.
CB: Terell Floyd, Louisville. Floyd's 38-yard interception return for a touchdown on the opening play of the game set the tone for the Cardinals. It was Louisville's first defensive score of the season.
CB: Brandon Jones, Rutgers. Jones set a career high and Rutgers single-game bowl record with two interceptions against the Hokies.
S: Jason Hendricks, Pitt. Hendricks had a great game in a loss to the Rebels, with a whopping 17 tackles, two tackles for loss and an interception.
S: Calvin Pryor, Louisville. Pryor had six tackles and registered his fifth forced fumble on the season when he recorded his first sack of the season in the third quarter.
P: Matt Yoklic, Pitt. Yoklic had plenty of opportunities to punt in this game and made the most of them, leading all Big East postseason punters with a 48.3-yard average on six punts.
K: Tony Miliano, Cincinnati. Miliano led all Big East kickers during postseason play with 12 points -- making both his field goal attempts and all six extra-point attempts against Duke.
WHO TO WATCH: Stedman Bailey. Hard to pick just one of the West Virginia trio on offense that has shattered just about every school record. Geno Smith and Tavon Austin are just as worthy of selection. So are Ryan Nassib and Alec Lemon for Syracuse. But I went with Bailey for a variety of reasons. First, he had an incredible season, leading the nation with 23 touchdown receptions. Second, this is his last game after declaring early for the NFL draft, a perfect opportunity to showcase his talents for everybody to see. And third, he was just about the only West Virginia player to have any success against Syracuse last season, with seven catches for 130 yards and a touchdown.
WHAT TO WATCH: Geno Smith versus Syracuse's front. This is the biggest matchup to watch in the game, and it is not even really that close. Syracuse beat West Virginia the past two years in large part because its defensive front found a way to harass Smith. In those two victories, Syracuse combined to sack Smith nine times and force him into five interceptions. Chandler Jones was particularly impressive in both of those games. He is gone, and you can bet Syracuse will be turning its focus to Brandon Sharpe as a rush end in this game. Now, by all measures, Smith was a more complete quarterback this season than the past two years, as he threw a whopping 40 touchdown passes. But five of his six interceptions came in losses, so the game plan for Syracuse should remain the same as the previous two years -- make Smith as uncomfortable as possible.
WHY WATCH: This game is being billed as potentially having plenty of offensive fireworks, as both teams average more than 470 yards per game. Plus, they are longtime Big East rivals. Before 2012, Syracuse and West Virginia had met annually since 1955 and played for the Ben Schwartzwalder Trophy when it was established in 1993. Although the trophy is not going to be on the line in this game, West Virginia will try to beat the Orange for the first time since 2009. One more thing to keep an eye on -- the weather. Snow is expected in New York on Saturday, so that could radically alter game plans and force both teams to rely more on their ground games. Jerome Smith and Andrew Buie (or even Shawne Alston) could end up with big days.
PREDICTION: Syracuse 45, West Virginia 44.
Greetings from the Carrier Dome
One of the big themes this week has been how much better Syracuse has played at home -- going 3-1 in the Dome this season. Its only loss here was in the opener against Northwestern, a heartbreaking 42-41 decision that was decided in the closing minutes.
But here is another point to remember: Louisville has done well on the road this season, going 3-0 away from home. More than that, the Cardinals have won six straight regular-season road games dating to last season. Now, none of that is to say the Cardinals are going to have a cakewalk. Those who have paid close attention know Louisville has had its share of road drama this season, needing second-half comebacks to beat Southern Miss and Pitt.
In fact, Louisville has fallen behind in all three of its road games this season, getting outscored 52-43 in the first half. But pay particular attention to the third quarter: Louisville has shut out its opposition 31-0 in that period in its three road games. For some of its warts, this Louisville team is one that simply never quits.
You can definitely bet Syracuse will not be intimidated facing one of the top-ranked teams in the nation. Back in Week 2, the Orange took No. 2 USC down to the wire, playing with the Trojans for three quarters before ultimately losing 42-29. I mentioned the loss to No. 24 Northwestern. And they also hung with then-No. 20 Rutgers a few weeks ago, before losing 23-15.
Plus, there is plenty on the line for the Orange. A win allows them to keep their bowl hopes alive. If they lose, they would need to beat both Missouri and Temple to become bowl-eligible. This is also senior day, so that could be an extra source of motivation. Ryan Nassib has had huge games in the Dome, and this is his final performance at home, along with starters Zack Chibane, Siriki Diabate, Alec Lemon, Deon Goggins, Marcus Sales, Brandon Sharpe and Shamarko Thomas.
Andrea Adelson goes over her Big East game of the week: Syracuse at Rutgers.
Montel Harris, RB, Temple. Harris resembled the back we saw star at Boston College, notching his first 100-yard game with the Owls. Harris ended up with 133 yards on 24 carries and two touchdowns. His 35-yard run with 1:03 to play sealed the 37-28 win over USF. It marked the 23rd 100-yard rushing game of his career, which leads the nation.
Brandon Sharpe, DE, Syracuse. Sharpe had a career-high four sacks in a 14-13 win over the Panthers, tied for the second-highest single-game sack total in school history. He finished the game with a career-best seven tackles, including six for a loss. The six tackles for a loss rank second on the school's single-game record list behind Doug Hogue, who had 6.5 against Rutgers in 2009.
Rutgers defense. The Scarlet Knights dominated UConn in a 19-3 victory, forcing five turnovers -- including Wayne Warren's 25-yard interception return for a touchdown. Rutgers limited UConn to 53 yards rushing -- the fifth straight opponent to rush for fewer than 100 yards in a game. Rutgers entered the game with the nation's top rushing defense (62.5 rushing yards per game).
George Winn, RB, Cincinnati. Winn had 16 carries for 128 yards and two rushing touchdowns in a 52-14 win over Miami (Ohio). It was his second multi-rushing-touchdown performance of his career, and the season, after also running for two scores against Pitt on Sept. 6.
Cuse turns it around with win over Pitt
Pitt and Syracuse will soon be the ACC's problem. Maybe that conference can figure each team out, because both remain mysteries in the Big East little more than a month into their last hurrahs.
The final meeting between these programs in Big East play went the way of the Orange, as they edged the Panthers 14-13 in a Friday-night home contest. It had been almost a year since Syracuse won a Big East game, that one also coming during a Friday-night home game over an outgoing conference member (West Virginia).
Make no mistake: This is a huge victory for the Orange, who did themselves no favors in the tough nonconference portion of their schedule and need every win they can get to have a shot of getting to a bowl game. Coach Doug Marrone shouldered much of the load publicly during the bye week, and his players answered early and held on strong late to pull out the tight victory.
Syracuse marched 70 yards on its first drive of the game to go up 7-0 ... and did not score offensively afterward. A 52-yard fumble return by Dyshawn Davis -- on a turnover forced by Jeremi Wilkes -- made it 14-0 before the first quarter was over, and the Orange defense stepped up big against the Panthers.
Pitt, also coming off a bye, entered this game riding a historic two-game offensive stretch but failed to generate much momentum. Ray Graham had trouble throughout the night, rushing it 24 times for just 57 yards and the team's lone touchdown. He added 31 yards on four catches. The Panthers as a team finished with 27 rushing yards on 37 carries, and they did themselves no favors by committing six penalties.
Pitt's Tino Sunseri put up pretty numbers -- 25 of 33 for 319 yards with no turnovers -- but was on his back much of the night, getting little help up front but stepping up time and again. Brandon Sharpe led the charge for the Orange, recording four of the team's five sacks and stopping Pitt whenever it threatened, often forcing the Panthers out of field-goal range. Sharpe finished with six tackles for loss.
Five games (and two conference tilts) in, and it's fair to call Pitt the Big East's biggest enigma, looking awful for two weeks, great the next two and falling somewhere in between Friday. Next Saturday the Panthers host preseason conference favorite Louisville, which will be coming off a bye, so all bets are off with this bunch moving forward as it looks to improve off its 0-2 Big East start.
Syracuse (2-3, 1-0) visits Rutgers next Saturday.
1. Texas (14 starters back: 6 offensive, 7 defensive, 1 special teams). Garrett Gilbert got a head start on replacing Colt McCoy with his considerable playing time in the national title game, an invaluable learning experience for a young player. The Longhorns return most of the defense that improved in its second season under Will Muschamp. The biggest chores will be for offensive coordinator Greg Davis, who has to boost running game production and find a replacement for record-breaking wide receiver Jordan Shipley.
2. Nebraska (18 starters back: 8 offensive, 8 defensive, 2 special teams). Bo Pelini has the Cornhuskers positioned for a potential top-10 preseason ranking. Most of the offensive weapons will be back from a unit that sputtered down the stretch before breaking out in the Holiday Bowl victory. Quarterback Zac Lee will miss some of spring practice as he recovers from postseason surgery. Cody Green and Kody Spano will get most of the work until Lee returns. Nebraska coaches think the defense can be better this season, even without the up-the-middle strength of Ndamukong Suh, Phillip Dillard, Larry Asante and Matt O'Hanlon.
3. Oklahoma (15 starters back: 9 offensive, 4 defensive, 2 special teams). The Sooners overcame a debilitating run of injuries last season to finish with a flourish, knocking Oklahoma State out of a BCS game and winning the Sun Bowl in their final two games. Landry Jones will be infinitely better in his second season as a starter and Ryan Broyles and DeMarco Murray may be the best one-two receiving/running back combination in the conference. Bob Stoops will be facing a big renovation on defense where key players like Gerald McCoy and Dominique Franks left early for the NFL draft. Look for Travis Lewis to be the key to a defense that will need to improve by the time Big 12 play begins if the Sooners are to have any hope of claiming a seventh Big 12 title this season.
4. Missouri (19 starters back: 9 offensive, 9 defensive, 1 special teams). The Tigers will miss Danario Alexander and linebacker Sean Weatherspoon, who were arguably the best players at their positions in the conference last season. But Blaine Gabbert is back for a second season as starting quarterback and some talented recruits are expected to emerge on defense. A key for the Tigers' success will be a more productive running game and consistency from the offensive line. Improvement on both will be critical for coordinator David Yost during the spring.
5. Texas Tech (15 starters back: 7 offensive, 6 defensive, 2 special teams). New coach Tommy Tuberville immediately will have to sort through a potentially difficult decision at quarterback between Taylor Potts and fan favorite Steven Sheffield. New coordinator James Willis hopes to install a 3-4 defense that should be a haven for athletic linebackers. But the group's success will hinge on replacing Jamar Wall at cornerback and finding some pass-rushing threats to replace Brandon Sharpe, Richard Jones and Daniel Howard along the front.
6. Texas A&M (19 starters back: 8 offensive, 9 defensive, 2 special teams). With Jerrod Johnson, Jeff Fuller, Uzoma Nwachukwu and Christine Michael back, the Aggies shouldn't have trouble scoring points, although the line needs to do a better job of protecting Johnson. But the Aggies' success will depend on the returning starters quickly taking to new coordinator Tim DeRuyter's teachings. The group was blistered for at least 35 points in seven games last season and allowed at least 30 points in two other games. So needless to say that even with nine starters back, DeRuyter has his work cut out.
7. Kansas (16 starters back: 7 offensive, 7 defensive, 2 special teams). New coach Turner Gill inherits an uncertain quarterback situation, but has the framework for a strong running attack with all of his starting linemen back, along with Toben Opurum and heralded back Brandon Bourbon as running threats. The Jayhawks will need to fill in for the loss of Darrell Stuckey in the secondary, but new coordinator Carl Torbush should find the elements for a blitzing, attacking defense among the returnees. But the biggest reason the Jayhawks might be bound for a bowl game in Gill's first season is swapping Texas, Texas Tech and Oklahoma for Texas A&M, Oklahoma State and Baylor in their cross-divisional schedule.
8. Iowa State (13 starters back: 8 offensive, 4 defensive, 1 special teams). Paul Rhoads returns most of the offensive weapons that led the Cyclones to the Insight Bowl, most notably quarterback Austen Arnaud and running back Alexander Robinson. But the team loses all of its starting linebackers; veteran coordinator Wally Burnham will be challenged to cobble together a serviceable unit. The Cyclones could actually be a better team in 2010 but post a worse record. A tougher schedule featuring nonconference games against Utah, Iowa and Northern Illinois and the addition of South Division powers Oklahoma, Texas and Texas Tech will make last season's bowl trip much tougher to duplicate.
9. Oklahoma State (10 starters back: 4 offensive, 4 defensive, 2 special teams). The Cowboys must find replacements for key players like Zac Robinson, Keith Tosten, four offensive linemen (including Outland finalist Russell Okung) and six of their back seven on defense. New offensive coordinator Dana Holgorsen finds an uncertain quarterback situation but will lean heavily on a healthy Kendall Hunter. A manageable nonconference schedule should have them in bowl contention, but this should be a step back from Mike Gundy's last two teams.
10. Kansas State (15 starters back: 7 offensive, 6 defensive, 2 special teams). The Wildcats missed out on a bowl trip last season only because they scheduled two FCS teams, but they surprisingly challenged for the Big 12 North title up to their last game of the season. It might be tougher to do that this season, although Daniel Thomas will provide the foundation on offense. Carson Coffman has the inside track at quarterback, but keep an eye out for Oregon transfer Chris Harper at either that position or wide receiver. Players like Jeffrey Fitzgerald and John Houlik will be missed on defense, but all four starters are back in the secondary.
11. Colorado (16 starters back: 8 offensive, 7 defensive, 1 special teams). Dan Hawkins' seat is the hottest in the Big 12 and arguably in college football after missing a bowl for a second straight season last year. Tyler Hansen returns as the starting quarterback, but the Buffaloes need to find some help in the backfield with only three scholarship backs in spring practice. The defense was young last season and should be improved, but will miss the leadership provided by Jeff Smart and Cha'pelle Brown. A bowl trip likely will be necessary to save Hawkins' job and a tough nonconference schedule featuring games at California and against Hawaii and Georgia will prove troublesome even before Big 12 play begins.
12. Baylor (14 starters back: 6 offensive, 6 defensive, 2 special teams). The Bears' hopes of stopping the conference's longest bowl drought will hinge largely on the health of Robert Griffin, who is recovering from knee surgery that forced him to miss the final nine games of the 2009 season. New offensive lineman "Big" Robert Griffin will have to protect his quarterback if coach Art Briles has any hope of making a bowl trip. Jay Finley and Kendall Wright are underrated offensive threats, but the Bears will miss key defensive leaders like Joe Pawelek and Jordan Lake who were stalwarts for several years.
Oklahoma leads the team with five selections, Texas had four and Nebraska and Missouri three picks apiece.

Brown, McCoy, Suh are major award winners
McCoy and Suh also were the only two unanimous first-team selections to the All-Big 12 team picked by coaches.
McCoy becomes the fourth Texas player to be selected as OPOY and the third Longhorn quarterback. Previous Texas selections included Ricky Williams (1997 and 1998), Major Applewhite (1999) and Vince Young (2005).
Suh becomes the second Nebraska defensive player to be honored, joining Grant Wistrom (1996 and 1997).
And Brown earns his second coach of the year honors after winning it in 2005.
One interesting note that shows the balance in the conference this season is that every team in the league was represented by at least one player on the first-team squad.
Coaches also announced their All-Big 12 teams. They were forbidden from voting for their own players.
Here's a list of the award winners, as selected by the league's coaches:
Coach of the Year: Mack Brown, Texas
Offensive Lineman of the Year: Russell Okung, Oklahoma State
Defensive Lineman of the Year: Ndamukong Suh, Nebraska
Offensive Freshman of the Year: Christine Michael, Texas A&M
Defensive Freshman of the Year: Aldon Smith, Missouri
Special Teams Player of the Year: Brandon Banks, Kansas State
Defensive Newcomer of the Year: David Sims, Iowa State
Offensive Newcomer of the Year: Daniel Thomas, Kansas State
Defensive Player of the Year: Ndamukong Suh, Nebraska
Offensive Player of the Year: Colt McCoy, Texas
And here's a look at who the coaches chose for their first-team offensive and defensive units.
QB: Colt McCoy, Texas
RB: Daniel Thomas, Kansas State
RB: Keith Toston, Oklahoma State
FB: Bryant Ward, Oklahoma State
WR: Dezmon Briscoe, Kansas
WR: Jordan Shipley, Texas

LB: Travis Lewis, Oklahoma
DB: Earl Thomas, Texas
DB: Perrish Cox, Oklahoma State
DB: Larry Asante, Nebraska
DB: Prince Amukamara, Nebraska
P: Derek Epperson, Baylor
Note: Bold notations are unanimous selections. Those selections with an asterisk are repeat choices from last season.
I was a little disappointed that the coaches can make a decision to pick a fullback as a specific positional choice and then not designate one of the picks specifically for a center. Every team in the league has a center. Not every team in the Big 12 has a true fullback that plays the majority of his snaps.
Also, it's an age-old pet peeve of mine that they don't break down the defensive choices into specific positions like ends, tackles, linebackers, cornerbacks and safeties.
Here's a link to the Big 12's Web site for a complete listing of the first-team, second-team and honorable mention choices.

A couple of late-week injury notes:
- Syracuse freshman defensive end Brandon Sharpe won't play Saturday against Maine. He had to be helped off the field in the Northwestern game after suffering an injury on the wedge-busting unit on kickoff coverage. Syracuse hasn't given specifics on the injury. Sharpe has two sacks and a forced fumble this year.
- UConn linebacker Scott Lutrus will miss his third straight game since suffering a stinger in the Ohio game, Randy Edsall announced today. Edsall also said that defensive end Lindsey Witten, who tops the nation in sacks, is still being slowed by a stomach virus but should play Saturday against Rhode Island.
- Still no final word on Tom Savage, but Rutgers coach Greg Schiano said Wednesday night that his freshman quarterback looked OK in practice and should play at Maryland.
Posted by ESPN.com's Brian Bennett
Prized quarterback prospect Tom Savage helped keep the Scarlet Knights' recruiting class together in the wake of defections, Keith Sargeant writes in the Home News Tribune.
• Rutgers picked up an in-state linebacker, Tom Luicci writes in The Star-Ledger.
• Syracuse got a commitment from linebacker/defensive end Brandon Sharpe, who had originally committed to Louisville. Sharpe's high school teammate, Shamarko Thomas, had switched his pledge from Louisville to the Orange earlier this month.
• The Hartford Courant's Shawn Courchesne spotlights future UConn wide receiver and in-state product Marcus Aiken.
• South Florida is waiting on word from a few players as it puts the finishing touches on a highly-ranked recruiting class, Greg Auman says in the St. Petersburg Times.

This image won Readers Choice in The Week in Pictures the week of Nov. 6 - 13, 2008. This image is beautiful, but I was surprised to see it won the Reader's Choice that week. Usually scenic or humorous images are more popular with our audience. This one beat out second place by a very respectable margin.

Motherless orphans and lost children rest at the Don Bosco Ngangi center in Goma, eastern Congo on Nov 13, 2008. Fighting in Congo intensified in Aug. and has since displaced at least hundreds of thousands of people despite the presence of the largest U.N. peacekeeping force in the world.

We do not do your work for you. We will be happy to make comments, suggestions after you have done the reading and writing.
Thanks to Writeacher, here is the lesson on how to search:
It looks as if what you need to do is learn how to conduct thorough and effective searches for yourself. That's what research is, and I'm sure that's what your teacher expects you to do -- conduct research. You are searching for information that is so specific that you have to be prepared for the possibility that none of it may be online. Or some may be, and some may not.

J.M. Kerrigan Movies
Irish actor
J. M. Kerrigan
was a stalwart of Dublin's Abbey Players, though from time to time he'd make the crossing to America to appear in such films as
Little Old New York
(1923) and Song O' My Heart (1930) (His film debut was 1916's
Food of Love
). Kerrigan settled in Hollywood permanently in 1935 when he was brought from Ireland with several other Abbey performers to appear in

The Informer
. Kerrigan was given a generous amount of screen time as the barfly who befriends the suddenly wealthy
Victor McLaglen
, then drops his "pal" like a hot potato when the money runs out. Not all of Kerrigan's subsequent Hollywood performances were this meaty, and in fact the actor did a lot of day-player work, sometimes showing up for only one or two scenes. It was in one of these minor roles that
J. M. Kerrigan

Captains of the Clouds

James Cagney made his first Technicolor appearance in the morale-boosting aviation flick Captains of the Clouds. Cagney plays Brian MacLean, a hotshot Canadian bush pilot who delights in stealing jobs-and women-away from his competitors. Brian is forced to shape up in a hurry when he's assigned to train other pilots for the Royal Canadian Air Force. At the ending of the training period, he is given his first real RCAF assignment: The seemingly unimportant task of shepherding American bomber planes across the Atlantic to England. With startling suddenness, Brian comes to realize the true importance of his job when he is forced into a deadly confrontation with a fleet of Nazi raider planes. Real-life Canadian WW1 flying ace Billy Bishop plays a small but pivotal role in Captains of the Clouds, while the leading-lady duties were handled by Warner Bros. stock actress Brenda Marshall (aka Mrs. William Holden). Cinematographer Sol Polito earned an Oscar nomination for his vivid color photography, though aerial photographers Elmer Dyer, Charles Marshall and Winston Hoch were certainly just as deserving. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

The Wolf Man
Add The Wolf Man to Queue
Add The Wolf Man to top of Queue
"Even a man who is pure at heart/And says his prayers by night/May become a wolf when the wolf-bane blooms/And the moon is full and bright." Upon first hearing these words, Larry Talbot (Lon Chaney) dismisses them as childish folderol. After all, this is the 20th Century; how can a human being turn into a werewolf? Talbot soon learns how when he attempts to rescue Jenny Williams (Fay Helm) from a nocturnal attack by a wolf. Collapsing, Talbot discovers upon reviving that Jenny is dead-and, lying by her side, is not the body of a beast, but of a gypsy named Bela (Bela Lugosi). The son of fortune teller Maleva (Maria Ouspenskaya), Bela was a lycanthrope, or "wolf man." And now that he has been bitten by Bela, Talbot is cursed to suffer the torments of the damned whenever the moon is full. Arguably the best of the "original" Universal horrors (original in the sense that it was not based on an existing literary property, a la Frankenstein, Dracula and The Invisible Man), The Wolf Man boasts one of the most stellar casts ever to grace a "B" picture: Lon Chaney Jr., Claude Rains, Evelyn Ankers, Ralph Bellamy, Warren William, Patric Knowles, Maria Ouspenskaya and Bela Lugosi. The man-to-wolf transformation sequences -- one of which took a full 24 hours to film -- are thoroughly convincing, thanks to the cosmetic genius of Jack P. Pierce (Chaney had wanted to emulate his father by developing his own werewolf makeup, but existing union rules would not permit this). Alas, after this powerhouse opening volley, the Wolf Man character was relegated to a series of cheap sequels, teaming him with other Universal shock stars: Frankenstein Meets the Wolfman (1943), House of Frankenstein (1944) and House of Dracula (1945). The final ignominy was Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein (1945), in which Lawrence Talbot (Chaney again), having been cured of lycanthropy in House of Dracula, reverts to his werewolf status -- and has to endure the one-liners of Lou Costello to boot! ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

The Vanishing Virginian
The Vanishing Virginian was adapted from the autobiographical bestseller by Rebecca Yancey Williams. Newcomer Kathryn Grayson stars as Ms. Williams, a headstrong Southern girl growing up in the early 20th century. Rebecca sets her conservative household on its ear when she joins the woman's suffrage movement, despite the objections of father Frank Morgan, a lifelong civil servant. In the tradition of Life with Father, the film is really about the dad rather than the daughter: his abiding love for his family, his eccentricities, his occasional bullheadedness, and his grudging acceptance of social changes. Intended in part as a showcase for MGM's new young-talent roster, The Vanishing Virginian spotlights, in addition to Kathryn Grayson, hopefuls Douglass Newland and Natalie Thompson--who were seldom heard from again. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Appointment for Love
What's a modern guy to do when his wife's ideas about marriage are a bit too modern for his taste? Andre Casall (Charles Boyer) is a successful, free-thinking playwright who becomes infatuated with a progressive female doctor, Jane Alexander (Margaret Sullavan). They marry impulsively, and Andre soon learns that Jane's ideas about marriage are a bit different from his own -- she demands that they keep separate apartments, and they are to meet only once a day, at 7 a.m. This isn't quite the way that Andre had imagined wedded bliss, and he is soon scheming to make her jealous, in hopes that she'll demand a more traditional living arrangement. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Adventure in Washington
A minor heart-tugger filmed on leftover Mr. Smith Goes to Washington sets, this Columbia production stars the very British Herbert Marshall as US senator John Coleridge. Befriending young Marty Driscoll (Gene Reynolds), a tough kid from the proverbial wrong side of the tracks, Senator Coleridge tries to put Marty on the right track by installing him as a Senate page boy. When Marty sells top-secret information to the press, Coleridge refuses to punish the boy himself: instead, Marty is tried before a jury of his peers-the rest of the pages, who've been anxious to show what they've learned while observing the senators at work. Virginia Bruce does what she can with the thankless role of a DC newspaper sob sister. The link between Adventure in Washington and Frank Capra's Mr. Smith Goes to Washington is strengthened by the presence in the cast of Dickie Jones and Pierre Watkin, both of whom had appeared in similar roles in the Capra film. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Spanning 50 years, director John Ford's How Green Was My Valley revolves around the life of the Morgans, a Welsh mining family, as told through the eyes of its youngest child Huw (Roddy McDowall). Over the years, the family struggles to survive through unionization, strikes, and child abuse. As they do so, their hometown and its culture begins to slowly decline. Donald Crisp portrays Gwilym, the patriarch of the Morgan household, who dreams of a better life for young Huw. Based on the novel of the same name by Richard Llewellyn, How Green Was My Valley won five Academy Awards in 1941, including Best Director, Best Supporting Actor (Crisp), Best Art Director, Best Cinematography, and Best Picture (beating Citizen Kane). The book was later adapted into a 1975 BBC miniseries. ~ Matthew Tobey, Rovi

Add The Long Voyage Home to top of Queue
John Ford welded four of Eugene O'Neill's one-act plays about the sea, Bound East for Cardiff, The Long Voyage Home, The Zone, and Moon of the Caribees, into this melancholy film about wayfaring seamen, changing the setting from the turn of the century to WWII. This was O'Neill's favorite of the films based on his work, and he watched it often enough to eventually wear out his print. After a night of revelry in the West Indies, the crew of the SS Glencairn return to the tramp steamer and set sail for Baltimore. They're a varied lot, from middle-aged Irishman Driscoll (Thomas Mitchell), to the young Swedish ex-farmer Ole Olsen (John Wayne), to the brooding Lord Jim-like Englishman Smitty (Ian Hunter). After the ship picks up a load of dynamite in Baltimore, the rough seas they encounter become especially nerve-racking to the crew, who are also concerned that Smitty might be a German spy. ~ Michael Costello, Rovi

The Sea Hawk
Add The Sea Hawk to Queue
Add The Sea Hawk to top of Queue
In the 1580s, the Sea Hawks -- the name given to the bold privateers who prowl the oceans taking ships and treasure on behalf the British crown -- are the most dedicated defenders of British interests in the face of the expanding power of Philip of Spain. And Captain Geoffrey Thorpe (Errol Flynn) is the boldest of the Sea Hawks, responsible for capturing and destroying more than 50 Spanish ships and ten Spanish cities. His capture of a Spanish galleon, however, leads to more than he bargained for, in a romance with the ambassador's niece (Brenda Marshall) and the first whiff of a plan to put Spanish spies into the court of Elizabeth I (Flora Robson). Thorpe's boldness leads him to a daring raid on a treasure caravan in Panama which, thanks to treachery within Elizabeth's court, gets him captured and, with his crew, sentenced to the life of a slave aboard a Spanish ship. Meanwhile, Philip of Spain decides to wipe the threat posed by Elizabeth's independence from the sea by conquering the island nation with his armada. Thorpe, though chained to an oar, knows who the traitor at court is and plans to expose him and Philip's plans, but can he and his men break their bonds and get back to England alive in time to thwart the plans for conquest?
The Sea Hawk was the last and most mature of Flynn's swashbuckling adventure films, played with brilliant stylistic flourishes by the star at his most charismatic, and most serious and studied when working with Flora Robson, whom he apparently genuinely respected. Boasting the handsomest, most opulent production values of a Warner Bros. period film to date, The Sea Hawk was made possible in part by a huge new floodable soundstage. Another highlight was the best adventure film score ever written by Erich Wolfgang Korngold; and the script's seriousness was nailed down by various not-so-veiled references not to 16th century Spain but 20th century Nazi Germany. The movie was cut by over 20 minutes for a reissue with The Sea Wolf, and the complete version was lost until a preservation-quality source was found at the British Film Institute. Since then, that 128-minute version -- which actually contains a one-minute patriotic speech by Robson as Elizabeth that was originally left out of U.S. prints, as well as amber tinting in all of the Panamanian sequences -- has become standard. ~ Bruce Eder, Rovi

Young Tom Edison
This account of Thomas Alva Edison's boyhood depict him as a brilliant but rambunctious teenager (Mickey Rooney), often distracted by his own ideas and frequently carried toward disaster by his fascination with his experiments, much to the consternation of his parents, neighbors, and teachers. While most of the town of Port Huron, Michigan -- including his own father (George Bancroft) -- doubt the boy's competency, his younger sister (irginia Weidler) and, most of all, his mother (Fay Bainter) believe in him and help sustain him until the climactic moment where his abilities and knowledge help avert a tragedy. Most of the major incidents depicted in the movie are true, and verified by the historical record -- or were believed to be true (based on Edison's own accounts) at the time of the movie's production -- though the time-line has been altered (and compressed) for dramatic purposes, in what is generally an entertaining and surprisingly informative bio-pic. ~ Bruce Eder, Rovi

One Crowded Night
The One Crowded Night of the title takes place at a tourist camp on the outskirts of the Mojave Desert. In true "Grand Hotel" fashion, the film manages to keep several subplots going at once, all of them resolved in one fell swoop by fadeout time. Former gun moll Gladys (Billie Seward) hopes to find happiness with honest truckdriver Joe (William Haade), but her past catches up with her in the form of escaped convict Jim (Paul Guilfoyle). Lunch-counter waitress Annie (Gale Storm) allows gas station attendant Vince (Dick Hogan) to flirt with her. Young mother-to-be Ruth (Adele Pearce), on the verge of giving birth, is unexpectedly reunited with her AWOL sailor husband Mat (Gaylord Pendleton). Quack doctor Joseph (J. M.

No Time for Comedy
S.N. Behrman's hit Broadway show about a guy who writes hit Broadway shows comes to the screen in this comedy. Gaylord Esterbrook (James Stewart) is a reporter from Minnesota who writes a play about life in New York City -- a place he's never visited. To his surprise, a Big Apple producer wants to stage Gaylord's show and asks him to come to New York immediately. While Gaylord hardly seems like a Big City sophisticate, his regular-guy charm makes a big impression on leading lady Linda (Rosalind Russell), who is tired of jaded braggarts like her director, Morgan (Allyn Joslyn). Gaylord and Linda get married, and he becomes one of the most successful playwrights in town, but his new popularity goes to his head, and Linda wonders what happened to the man she married. However, Gaylord's career takes a turn for the worse when he meets Amanda (Genevieve Tobin), a snooty high society type who convinces him that he ought to be writing the Great American Tragedy instead of crowd-pleasing comedies. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

The thoroughbreds invoked by the title are a stray colt and the teenaged boy (Jimmy Lydon) who raises the animal. Despite the objections of his miserly uncle (Arthur Hohl), Lydon cares for the seemingly worthless colt with the help of a crusty but kindly groom (J. M. Kerrigan). The boy discovers that the colt actually belongs to the wealthy father of his girl friend (Joan Brodel, later known as Joan Leslie), but is hesitant to return the horse he has grown to love. The right thing is done at last, and a happy ending results. Two Thoroughbreds avoids wallowing in sentiment, thanks to the carefully controlled performance of Jimmy Lydon, whose energies were later shifted to the less demanding Henry Aldrich series at Paramount. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Union Pacific
Cecil B. DeMille takes us back to the 1860s, then rebuilds the first intercontinental railroad in Union Pacific. The real-life spectacle is occasionally interrupted by the fictional adventures of railroad overseer Joel McCrea, postmistress Barbara Stanwyck (with an incredible Irish brogue), and McCrea's best pal Robert Preston. Unfortunately Preston has fallen in with Brian Donlevy, who is dedicated to destroying the Union Pacific railroad on behalf of a crooked political cartel. During an Indian attack, McCrea and Preston fight side by side to save Stanwyck, prompting Preston to turn honest. On the day in 1869 that the "Golden Spike" is to be driven at Promontory Point, Preston is killed saving McCrea from Donlevy's bullets. Union Pacific owes a great deal to John Ford's 1924 film on the same subject, The Iron Horse, even restaging one or two major action sequences from the earlier film. This DeMille spectacular was a big hit with audiences of 1939, who craved a booster shot of flag-waving now and again. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

The Flying Irishman
It matters not at all that the famed "wrong way" flight of aviator Douglas Corrigan, who in 1938 tried to fly from New York to California by way of Ireland, was probably a carefully calculated publicity stunt. The end result was that Corrigan became a household name, and as such was an ideal candidate for film stardom. RKO Radio shelled out a considerable amount of money to purchase "Wrong Way" Corrigan's life story, enhancing the publicity value of the resultant The Flying Irishman by casting Corrigan himself in the leading role. It's too bad that the same amount of effort wasn't lavished on the film itself, which is a ponderous, perfunctory tale of a barnstorming flyer who, unable to get a legitmate pilot's job because he never went to college, resorts to a variety of colorful methods to make a living. Like many other non-showbiz celebrities, Corrigan was constitutionally unable to play himself convincingly, so it's up to such supporting actors as Eddie Quillan, Paul Kelly, Robert Armstrong, Donald MacBride and Joyce Compton to take up the slack. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Gone With the Wind

Gone With the Wind boils down to a story about a spoiled Southern girl's hopeless love for a married man. Producer David O. Selznick managed to expand this concept, and Margaret Mitchell's best-selling novel, into nearly four hours' worth of screen time, on a then-astronomical 3.7-million-dollar budget, creating what would become one of the most beloved movies of all time. Gone With the Wind opens in April of 1861, at the palatial Southern estate of Tara, where Scarlett O'Hara (Vivien Leigh) hears that her casual beau Ashley Wilkes (Leslie Howard) plans to marry "mealy mouthed" Melanie Hamilton (Olivia de Havilland). Despite warnings from her father (Thomas Mitchell) and her faithful servant Mammy (Hattie McDaniel), Scarlett intends to throw herself at Ashley at an upcoming barbecue at Twelve Oaks. Alone with Ashley, she goes into a fit of histrionics, all of which is witnessed by roguish Rhett Butler (Clark Gable), the black sheep of a wealthy Charleston family, who is instantly fascinated by the feisty, thoroughly self-centered Scarlett: "We're bad lots, both of us." The movie's famous action continues from the burning of Atlanta (actually the destruction of a huge wall left over from King Kong) through the now-classic closing line, "Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn." Holding its own against stiff competition (many consider 1939 to be the greatest year of the classical Hollywood studios), Gone With the Wind won ten Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Screenplay, Best Actress (Vivien Leigh), and Best Supporting Actress (Hattie McDaniel, the first African-American to win an Oscar). The film grossed nearly 192 million dollars, assuring that, just as he predicted, Selznick's epitaph would be "The Man Who Made Gone With the Wind." ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Meanwhile, expatriate Englishman Hilary Harrington (Melville Cooper) and his son David (Freddie Bartholomew) wander the countryside in search of a dishonest dollar. At first hired by Dinehart to help force Rory off his land, the two Britishers instead befriend the young rancher and try to help him bring in a gusher. Hardly Universal's most important 1939 release, Two Bright Boys was still entertaining enough to pay its way. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Ted Saskin has taken the high road and decided to let the executive board of the NHL Players' Association vote again on his five-year deal as the new executive director - this time via secret ballot. Despite overwhelming support from player reps during a late-night conference call with the executive board Monday night, Saskin decided to re-open the vote to once and for all end the criticism from a small group of players who questioned the process by which Saskin had been hired.

ANOKA, MN (KNSI) - Jury selection is set to begin in Anoka County today in the case of a Stearns County sheriff's sergeant accused of sexually abusing three teenage girls.
Sgt. Phillip Meemken, a 17 year veteran of the sheriff's department, faces 23 counts of criminal sexual conduct. Meemken, arrested in 2009, is accused of giving alcohol to three teen girls, then sexually abusing them. The alleged victims included two relatives of Meemken and a friend.
Meemken went on paid leave in December 2009 and has been paid more than $200,000 in salary and benefits while he's been inactive. The trial moved to Anoka County after lawyers for Meemken said pretrial publicity unfairly prejudiced the jury pool in Stearns County.

"The greatest glory in living lies not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall." - Nelson Mandela (1918-2013)
This One Is For You
This post is for you. Yes, you. The one behind the screen scrolling through endless pieces of writing and photos with quotes that reassures you that you are not alone. Some type of justification for "It's alright, others are miserable too", so you're sitting there dejected to participate in any type of activity towards moving on. And I get it, 'cause truth be told, I've been there too. But remember, this isn't about me. This is about you.
When people break up, your first thought is the ending like, the END of everything. And you just sit there and think to yourself that "It's over. My life will never be the same. My life sucks, etc." But I don't blame you. We're all susceptible to that type of vulnerability.
Because honestly, it does suck. Especially when you know that there's always some type of fragmentary and incomplete conversations, like, wishing you wrote down everything you really wanted to say the last time you were together. And you feel like if you do not pick up the phone and schedule another one of those "last talks before really breaking up", those unfinished conversations turns into can't-sleep-at-thee-am and there's a bunch of lingering feelings hovering above your head while you try to drown these fuckin' thoughts with a bottle of Jack.
So this post is for you. For the ones who choose to drench your sorrows by masking them with nights of getting "way too fucked up until you pass out" and girl's night out doesn't necessarily mean catching up anymore. It suddenly means talking endlessly about how miserable you feel because you're no longer together, so you talk and talk and cry and weep, just hoping and praying this will cleanse it out of your system. Ultimately, everyone's just tired of the shit, so you're back to laughing and giggling and shit-talking pretending, "I don't care anymore" or "It's his loss anyways." But you go back home and when you're all alone and you sober up, you're damn miserable again.
This one is for you. The one who still looks at his IG profile to see who are all these bitches liking his photos. Or how awesome the party looked for his mom's 50th birthday thinking, "What if I was still part of that family?" Or who owns that second cup in his Starbucks date picture. And finally, it's clarified that there is a new someone. And that someone is actually really pretty. And she's educated. And she's family oriented. And no matter how much you want to hate her, you can't. Because something tells you that even though you didn't have your happy ending, he's out working on writing his. And he, fuck man, he seems happy.
But this isn't about him. This post is still about you, the one person who needs to accept the fact that it is over. I'm telling you again, it's over. I even put in in bold writing. You have got to stop reminiscing about the past, whether good or bad, because no matter how much you cry, you go out and drink, and how much you want to flip the world upside down, it's all but fragments of memories. One day, they will no longer fill your brain and while you try and try to remember every single detail, everyone else (but you) is out creating new ones.
Did it ever cross your mind that maybe, just maybe, by doing so, you are missing out on so many possibilities and potential to write the next chapter of your life? And by being stuck in the past, you are robbing yourself (and your next somebody) of the mere chance of writing that together?
I wrote this post for you. The one who is still scared to take that leap of faith and attempt to do it all over again. The one who is scared to put yourself out there, worrying if this time, it'll just be another one of those "I invested all my time and emotions bullshit… Turns out to be another failed relationship and another waste of precious time." And if it is, at least you pulled yourself out of the hole and managed to try and find that light.
It's never too late to find the next best thing. When you're too buried deep in that slum, you're depriving yourself of meeting damn so many amazing people who could possibly interest you and help you find yourself again. And if by chance you do not find love just yet, you find new friends that are fun and wonderful and people whose company you will enjoy. But that won't happen if you won't try. And when you do, ultimately, everything else will fall into place. Trust me.

They told me that to make her fall in love, I had to make her laugh. But everytime she laughs, I'm the one who falls in love.
Anonymous asked: Are you happy?
You want the honest truth? Extremely.
Sometimes, it is three in the morning. You nonchalantly come alive from a dream so sweet, yet you have no recollection of it because you realize, a gentle arm tightening up around your very waist. You feel ever so safe, a different feeling from all the other dark and lonely 3 am's you've had the last how many years, but who's counting? You're laying there in the dark, yet you're burning fire with passion that only you two can see illuminate. You generate sparks without even igniting a single flame. You feel so damn vulnerable, yet no one can hurt you, because those arms, those arms are of the man who's there to protect you. You feel every crevice of his body, every corner and every slight brush of his skin against yours and just before you make a single motion, he pulls you even closer. It's almost as if you two are one whole being. And just when you think that there's no better feeling than this, he whispers so deeply, so gently and ever so peacefully, "Baby, I love you."
- Carmela David
Some people just never leave you. No matter how many weeks, months, years, they'll forever be imprinted and embossed in every fiber of your being. Some say people come and go, but certainly, there are certain people that'll everlastingly just reside, heart and mind, without ever having an intention to fade from the mental compartment that just throbs, throbs with every beat of our hearts, just persistently reminding us of every bittersweet memories of you, them, and all the things shared so passionately, to a point it overpowers every thought we may have in our heads. My mind is so restless, so impatient, and so keen to achieve its peace, the piece that's missing that's so difficult and so intricate to reach, only because some people just never leave you, much like a scar from a wound that will forever be a reminder of everything that you remember them by - their subtle and unique scent, those piercing eyes when they lay on yours or the way they run their fingers on your cheek.
No matter how much time passes, they're there. And they never leave.

It's easy to take off all your clothes and have sex. People do it all the time. But opening up your soul to someone, letting them into your spirit, thoughts, fears, future, hopes, dreams. Now that's being naked.
Anonymous asked: Thoughts about a real happy family.
Like my mother and father always quote, "Even though we ain't got money, I'm so in love with you honey." Happiness is not about having the best of everything. It's making the best out of everything you've got. We might not have everything we want, but we do have everything we need. And that is each other. Always make time. No matter how busy you may get, always visit, call, text, Facebook, whatever it is that keeps you connected. There's no better feeling than being surrounded by love and family.
Resilient Heart.
Just like everything in life, in order to get from one place to another, there is always a journey you are bound to go through. If you really think about it, there are so many things you did, you felt and you had to experience to be the person that you are right now. You see, it took you twenty something years to understand why you do the things that you do, feel the emotions that you feel, and how you handle situations when life gives you the good, the bad and the ugly. But no matter what happened in the past, you, yes you, were able to look pass everything and you moved on.
Your heart is a resilient organ. It keeps going no matter how much it is struck and broken. With every defeat, with every setback and with every beating, it comes out stronger than it was before. You might have cried your self to sleep for three or four days straight. You might have called your girlfriends to stay up with you and binge watch your favorite show while you pound a bottle of wine after another. You might have missed your bus stop, daydreaming about what would have been, could have been, and should have been if you were still together. But after some time, little by little, the gaping hole in your heart, the one that throbs with every thought of it, starts to shut. And one day, you can wake up and look in the mirror and find yourself feeling fine. And actually mean it.
In a perfect world, it would have been different. There would be no heartaches and heartbreaks, nor pictures being deleted or letters being thrown, or phone lines to be disconnected, or names to remove off a lease, or silly videos of you two saying "Forever and ever", nor divorce papers and endless memories you try to forget. This isn't the perfect world and we all get hurt. We all get our fair share. And there are times that you want to scream at the top of your lungs just to see if that can ease the pain, or you drink yourself to sleep because sometimes, the pain is so unbearable, or you feel like your heart is literally and physically aching and bleeding and excruciating with every beat and every thought and every recollection.
But just remember, your heart is a resilient organ. It keeps going no matter how much it is struck and broken. With every defeat, with every setback and with every beating, it comes out stronger than it was before.
All of this is nothing but a part of your journey. It's all right to cry and fall apart right now but tomorrow, you have to let it go. You move on not because there's nothing else to do, but you move on because there will be better things out there for you. And trust me, you do.
- Carmela David
Anonymous asked: How do you feel about second chances?
I used to be the girl who didn't give out too many, until I realized, I needed them myself. Everyone deserves a second chance. We're all imperfect human beings and we all have to realize how or what it is to be wrong in order for us to make it right. There's no such thing as perfection. It's more like "over and over until we get it right."
I feel like there are a million things I want to say, but I just can't find the words to do the justice. If you ask me how I feel right now, I'd say I don't even know and that feeling of not knowing is starting to become so familiar. I thought I have found myself once again and regained even just a bit piece of clarity but somehow, every time I feel like I am feeling any close to comfort, I find myself falling back into a hole I no longer find a ground. I keep falling. And when I feel like I stop, just so I can look up to see how far I've gone, I free fall once again. Fuck. This time, even faster. This time, even deeper. Sometimes, I don't even know where to begin to save myself.

1652 Massachusetts Bay Colony NE Shilling. Noe III-B, Salmon 3-C, W-80. Rarity-7. EF-40 (PCGS). CAC. Secure Holder.
Important and Famous 1652 New England Shilling Rarity A Newly Discovered Example
"Extremely Rare" Die Variety
68.3 grains. As the first metallic currency in the British Colonies, the NE coinage is easily one of the most famous -- and important -- of all colonial issues. Deep golden-gray throughout with no surface marks to draw the viewer's eye. We do note, however, some faint old scratches around NE that come to light under low magnification. Some soft depressions and faint planchet waviness are seen, as made and are characteristic of genuine NE Shillings. NE punched at the 11 o'clock position, XII punched at the 1 o'clock position on their respective sides. The NE and XII are boldly and deeply punched, with just a hint of weakness in the surrounding cartouches.
A rare variety among a rare design type, with Noe III-B as offered here missing from some of the most important collections ever formed, including Stearns, Garrett, Picker, Norweb, Roper, the Hain Family Collection, MHS (1970), and Oechsner. The present piece is easily the visual equal -- and essentially the physical equal -- of Ford Part XII, lot 2 (Stack's, October 2005), the famous Wurtzbach Plate coin. When cataloger Michael Hodder wrote the description for Ford Part XII:2, he noted that he had seen but four examples of Noe III-B, a figure that included the Ford-Wurtzbach piece, and went on to note that Noe III-B is "extremely rare." Jack Howes' masterful article on the NE coinage in Colonial Newsletter 144 documents only 8 distinct examples of Noe III-B, and this specimen, a fresh example recently discovered in Great Britain and previously unknown to the numismatic fraternity, would make a ninth example of the variety.
From a relatively late state of the dies, with a bold crack from the bottom of the E downward through the tail of the N, below which it forks into two cracks; this is a later state than Ford:2. On the reverse denomination, the second I is slightly repunched, and a bold crack runs from the base of the I to the bottom edge of the cartouche, as seen in the Ford coin. The coin itself is of near-perfect roundness and, as noted, without serious problems of any nature.
The appearance of any NE shilling -- or its diminutive parts of sixpence and threepence -- at public auction is a numismatic event of no small proportion. We suspect more than one advanced specialist within the Massachusetts Bay Colony coinage discipline will set their sights on this famous American treasure. In fact, a superb NE shilling is the ultimate trophy coin, the first issue on American soil, and the small beginning to the great world of U.S. coinage that would follow over the ensuing 350 years. The great generalists have all owned at least one, and it is fair to say that having an NE Shilling begin the sale of your collection is a sure sign that the catalogue will be saved forever after. We are pleased to present here or first NE Shilling in nearly six years, the last example we sold was the Roach-Picker-Hain Specimen of Noe II-A, graded EF-40 (uncertified), that sold for $414,000 after spirited bidding. More recently, we sold a very rare ground found NE Sixpence in our November 2012 Baltimore Auction for a final price of $431,250. Only 60 NE Shillings of all die varieties are currently numismatically documented, fully 22 of which are permanently impounded in institutional collections such as the ANS, the British Museum and the Smithsonian. So it is no surprise why NE Shillings come to auction so infrequently and why we predict that bidding for this newly discovered specimen will be nothing short of intense.

Congrats to Drake!!! He just earned his high school diploma! After leaving high school at the age of 15 to appear on Degrassi: The next generation, he took on short stints in and out of high school after his parents divorce. Now, the 25 year old multi platinum rapper is celebrating his greatest achievement yet, earning his high school diploma! Congrats again!
Photo Shout Out, dose.ca
Let's hope he makes a music video just as awesome as HYFR based on his prom. Other recent grads are that 13 year old boy from Modern Family and Justin Bieber. Perhaps a joint prom celebration?
