General Hospital Recaps
GH Week of March 14, 2011
Kristina tried to talk Carly into stopping Michael from sleeping with a stripper who's only after his money. Carly pointed out that Michael is different from the other kids at school, but Krissy said he just has to get to know somebody. Carly suggested that Kristina simply resents that Michael has someone else to confide in, just like her and Jason. At Abby's place, her make-out session with Michael was interrupted by the oven timer. Michael praised her cooking skills (and dissed his mom's). When he suggested they drink wine with dinner, she poured, saying he's entitled to make his own decisions. (But she decided he should take a taxi home later.) She bubbled about the wonderful suite at Metro Court, but talk of the big bed and shower made him uncomfortable. Later, they kissed and started undressing, but his phone rang. It was Kristina, with word that Brenda was dying. Carly later met with Jax at the Metro Court and told him about Brenda dying at the hospital. He suspected it was a "test," and they quickly devolved into arguing over Jax keeping Josslyn at the hotel, but he insisted it's their job as parents to keep the kids safe, and stormed out. Later, at GH, Krissy told Abby that if she really cares about Michael, she should get out of his life.
Dante stopped Jason from firing on the Balkan's helicopter as it fled the air field. Dante insisted that Jason stick around while he called in the fatalities. When Dante made his report to Mac, the commissioner was furious about so many bodies turning up lately. He announced the department will no longer collaborate with the Corinthos organization in criminal investigations. Mac warned Jason that he and Sonny soon will be back atop the most-wanted list. Then Dante and Jason bickered over how best to deal with Theo. Jason called Carly and told her to get to the hospital to help Sonny with Brenda, but she declined, citing the bad blood between her and Brenda. Jason returned to the penthouse and ordered Spinelli to track down Theo again. Sam said Brenda was rescued, so it's all over, but Jason vowed to make Theo pay for trying to kill Sam. Later, Dante went to Lulu and told her that Brenda's condition spooked him. He insisted Theo needs to rot in prison, because a bullet is too merciful. Then he shifted gears and got personal: "I've been an ass" about Brenda, he admitted, but she forgave him. They kissed. Then he got a call that Brenda is out of danger. He apologized again for keeping her in the dark, but Lulu cited it as justification for copious amounts of make-up sex.
At The Haunted Star, Luke told Ethan that Carly retained him to persuade Jax to drop his custody demands. Luke revealed that he recently procured seven "hot" diamonds, and plans to use them to frame Jax just enough to avoid prison but convince him to give in to Carly. Tracy and Maya arrived and demanded to know what the guys were up to. Ethan backed up Luke's story that they need to scam Jax. When Ethan and Maya left, Luke told Tracy, "I'm sorry." He admitted it hasn't been easy to be married to him, and offered to take her anywhere in the world for a "real" honeymoon.
At G.H., Robin encouraged Brenda to fight to live. Patrick told Sonny that without knowing the specific neurotoxin, it's hard to know what antidote to use, so Brenda may not survive the night. Sonny went to Brenda and encouraged her with promises of trips. Then he asked Edward to sit with her. Edward was dubious of Sonny's motives, but sat with her and excoriated Sonny -- while Robin and Sonny listened in. He demanded she come to afternoon tea twice a week. Patrick told Sonny the latest tests indicated she's not getting any better. After Edward left, Sonny and Robin spent some time at Brenda's bedside. Then Sonny called Bernie and vowed to kill Theo in revenge -- while Michael listened. Michael offered to help Sonny with Theo, but Sonny told him to be a better man and make a life separate from the mob, so he won't have to worry about his loved ones. Sonny returned to Brenda and told her she's made his life better. He recalled how she changed him by teaching him how to love and be loved. "You cannot leave me this way," he complained. Then she suddenly woke up! Patrick said the antidote was working, but Robin declared that Sonny's love brought her back. Robin asked him not to go off seeking revenge.
Later, Michael lamented to Abby that Sonny and Jason still treat him like a kid. He resolved to prove to Sonny what he can do on his own.
At the Hub, Lisa accused Robin of "hammering" Patrick with guilt. Robin snarled back, and then Patrick stepped between them. When Terrell arrived, Patrick told him that Lisa is a "psychopath" who drugged and tried to kill Robin and kidnapped Emma. Lisa dismissed it all as Robin's paranoia. Steve broke up the scrum, warning Robin and Lisa they will be suspended if it happens again. Lisa visited Johnny to complain about Patrick blasting her. Johnny said Patrick has moved on, and she should do the same. She wondered if she could be misguided, but noted she feels like she doesn't have a life without Patrick. Steve summoned Lisa back to G.H. for a consult on a motorcycle accident — along with Patrick, of course. Meanwhile, Terrell asked Steve if Patrick's charges are true. Steve noted there's no proof of anything. Terrell offered to comfort Robin, but she got a text from Johnny saying he left something for her at Kelly's. Lisa got a similar text, directing her to Metro Court. Both women found notes to be at Johnny's place at 5 o'clock.
At Kelly's, Abby found Michael studying for a chemistry test. When Johnny entered, Michael confronted him, but Johnny said Abby can pay him back whenever. Also, she's welcome to come back to work at Vaughn's anytime. Later, Michael visited the penthouse and overheard Spinelli taking a message for Jason about a vital incoming shipment. Michael told him not to bother Jason with the message, because Sonny' men could handle it. Later, Abby invited Michael to dinner, but he begged off, saying he has to fill in for Jason.
Spinelli's dogged research turned up the Balkan's local connection: the Trujillos organization. Jason wanted to exact revenge because they helped Theo hurt Sam. Jason held Trujillo at gunpoint and demanded information. Trujillo said he put Theo in touch with John Zacchara. Jason confronted Johnny and accused him of breaking the truce. Johnny insisted he just provided some muscle, and was told to follow some guy stalking Sam — so he shot the guy before he could talk. Johnny noted he could have shot Jason if he'd wanted to
Nikolas and Brook Lynn returned to Wyndemere after an art exhibit in New York. They started kissing, but Elizabeth interrupted — worried that Aiden might see them. Nik pointed out the kid is in his nursery with his nanny. Liz called his talk about about being a committed father hot air, and decreed that Aiden cannot visit as long as Brook lives there. Brook accused Liz of wanting Nik's money. Nik seemed to favor Brook in their bickering, so Liz stormed out. Back at G.H., Steve advised his sister to compromise with Nikolas, and offered to help her financially. Liz then surreptitiously called to learn the paternity-test results will be available Thursday.
Jax asked Alexis to represent him in the divorce — and get him primary custody of Morgan and Josslyn. She said his adoption of Morgan was not completed in time, so it's not legal. He didn't want to paint Carly as a bad mother, but Alexis said he has to show Carly is unfit. Meanwhile, at The Haunted Star, Carly told Luke and Ethan that one good scare will make Jax drop his custody bid — but she didn't want Jax's life destroyed. Alexis next went to the Star, where she found Carly and Luke plotting. Later, Luke and Ethan entered Jax's room at Metro Court and easily opened his safe. They planted the Fever Diamonds in the safe. When Jax entered, the guys hid. Then Carly arrived. Jax told her he had retained Alexis. Luke quietly appealed to Carly to distract Jax while they slipped out. No sooner had Luke and Ethan reached the corridor than they ran into a suspicious Alexis. Carly told Jax that his safe contains stolen jewels, and Interpol Agent Bates is on his way. Unless Jax gives up his custody bid, he'll be arrested.
In Jax's room at Metro Court, he railed at Carly's blackmail, declaring he was more determined than ever to get full custody of the kids, since Carly is proving she isn't a good role model. Outside Jax's room, Alexis quizzed Luke and Ethan, but then Agent Bates arrived, pursuing a tip about stolen gems. He recognized Ethan's face, but couldn't quite place him. Luke invoked Alexis as his lawyer, and she temporarily backed Bates off. Bates went to Jax's room, where Carly tried to convince him that the tip was meant to bust Theo, but Bates wouldn't buy it, and decided to confiscate Jax's safe. Alexis claimed to represent Jax, and suggested maybe the gems could be given to Bates anonymously. Jax took a hard line, threatening to have Bates' badge pulled, but Bates cared more about bringing in Jax or Luke rather than some missing gems. As Alexis, Carly, Jax and Luke all blustered, a frustrated Bates sighed and agreed to accept the stones anonymously.
Lucky overheard Elizabeth arranging to receive somebody's test results in the mail, but she brushed off his questions. He said his relationship with Siobhan isn't meant to hurt her or the kids, but he had to beg off taking the boys for the evening because he has to get married. Liz said no one else could watch the kids, so Lucky was stuck. Liz voiced her concerns about Cam and Jake getting a sudden stepmother who was trying to break immigration laws. Lulu overheard and asked, "Were you thinking of Cam and Jake when you were screwing his brother?" Later, Lucky and Siobhan went to The Haunted Star, where she suggested not getting married for the sake of the kids. She also wondered if Lucky still has feelings for Liz. Lucky confessed he'll always have a place for her in his heart as the mother of his sons, but living in the past is a waste of time. Siobhan was skeptical, but accepted that. When Luke returned, grumbling, "Women are ruining my life," Lucky asked his dad to be a witness for their wedding.
Brenda was eager for Sonny to take her home from the hospital, but he urged her to take it slow. She worried about him taking revenge on Theo, instead blaming herself for letting Suzanne close. Dante ran into Lulu at the hospital, and basically asked her permission to wish Brenda well. Lulu laughed, and said she doesn't need full disclosure every time he talks to a woman. Later, Sonny met with Dante, who notified Sonny they won't be working together anymore, so if he sees his father doing anything illegal, he will arrest him. Dante visited Brenda and wished her well with his father. Later, Patrick gave Brenda a clean bill of health and released her. Sonny started packing -- to take her on their honeymoon.
Jason demanded that Johnny give him the details on his dealings with Theo. Johnny recalled Theo mentioning Paris once. Meanwhile, Robin arrived at Johnny's place -- followed quickly by Lisa. They compared notes (literally), and Robin assumed that Johnny would turn Lisa in. Back at G.H., Patrick sent Sam home. Then Steve came by, looking for Lisa. When Patrick revealed that she ran off, Steve declared, "the nonsense stops now," and warned Patrick that from now on, the doctors will keep their personal crap away from G.H. Meanwhile, Johnny returned home and informed the ladies they will both be going on a treasure hunt to find the syringe that could sent Lisa to jail. Robin's clue led her to the Hub, where she talked her way past a skeptical Patrick. Her next clue sent her to Carly's house, where Carly caught her and threw her out before she could grab her next clue. Patrick went directly to Johnny to demand the syringe. Lisa's clue sent her to Steve's office, where he caught her rifling his desk. "You're fired!" he bellowed.
Abby was surprised that Sonny would be okay with Michael supervising a shipment, but Michael brushed off her concerns and suggested meeting for a late dinner. When Sam returned to the penthouse, Spinelli fussed over her, but she immediately rushed out to track Theo. When Jason returned, he set Spin working on Paris leads. Then Abby arrived to ask about Michael. Jason frantically called the kid's cell, but it was off, because he was observing the shipment from under cover. Suddenly, Ronnie and Dante busted the operation. Dante was stunned to capture Michael!
Robin explained how she's on Johnny's treasure hunt for a syringe that could put Lisa in jail. Carly gave her two minutes to look around. Robin found her clue and left. Meanwhile, Steve blasted Lisa for leaving the hospital without notifying him. She pleaded her case, but he questioned keeping her on staff. Steve wondered what else she's been lying about? Was sleeping with him a ploy? He promised to fire her if the syringe surfaces. Meanwhile, Patrick told Johnny that Lisa needs professional help, but Johnny insisted he knows crazy, and Lisa ain't it. He hinted Lisa reminds him of Claudia. Johnny suggested that Patrick helped Lisa lose her marbles by using her for one night. Patrick stormed out. Lisa went back to Johnny, demanding an explanation for her cryptic clue, but he refused. Robin returned to the Hub, where Patrick filled her in about Johnny. Steve dragged Patrick away for a consult. Robin managed to find the syringe at The Haunted Star, and set off in her car with Lisa in hot pursuit!
At the pier, Dante warned Michael to stay put while he went back and told Ronnie he lost the guy he was chasing. Jason pulled up, Michael jumped in his car, and they sped off. Jason scolded him for coming close to getting sent back to prison, and declared this would never happen again. Abby summoned Sam to express her fears about Michael getting sent back to prison. Sam was suffering from headaches. Back at the penthouse, Michael resisted Jason's scolding and suggested Jason needs his help, but won't admit it. "You need somebody you can trust," Michael said. "It'll never be you," Jason replied. Michael admitted he fears going back to prison, but he fears living a corporate life someone else wants for him is worse. Dante met Lulu at Kelly's and told her about catching Michael in the raid. He's agonizing about sending his brother back to prison or deeper into the mob. Later, Dante went to the penthouse and announced his intention to arrest...Jason. He excoriated Jason for teaching Michael the business, and vowed to catch him making a mistake.
At Sonny's, Max, Milo and Diane assembled so Sonny could tell Brenda that they all work to keep her happy. Brenda asked about moving to the house in the woods. Diane said the house was sold, which angered Brenda. Sonny admitted it, and promised to consult her about such matters in the future. He took her on a "tour" of the house — meaning the bedroom. He said the house is too big to live in by himself anymore, and asked her to make it a home. "I've never had a home," Brenda sighed. "I want to make a home wherever you want to."
Luke was skeptical of Lucky rushing into marriage with Siobhan. Lucky insisted he's only marrying to keep her in the country, and his father can show up if her wants to. Elizabeth brought Cameron, Jake and Aiden to the hospital and anticipated getting the paternity test results today. Liz told Steve that Lucky is getting married. Meanwhile, Lucky told Siobhan that marrying her is his idea. Carly dropped in on Luke, who told her to let Jax raise the kids — it's easier than trying to figure out being a parent. When it was their turn at the courthouse, Lucky asked Siobhan: "Do you want to marry me or not?"
At home, Elizabeth pondered opening the envelope containing the lab results while the children played on the living room floor. Out on the highway, cars were converging, including: an anguished Luke; a frantic Robin with Lisa on her bumper; Sonny, who was being nuzzled by Brenda; Carly, who was on the phone with Jax; and Sam, who was suddenly overcome by headache. Liz realized Jake had wandered out the door and into the road. "Jake!" she screamed...
As Elizabeth looked over the results of Aiden's paternity test, Jake slipped out the front door. Meanwhile, Luke, Robin, Lisa, Sonny and Brenda, Carly and Sam were all seen driving cars. Liz realized Jake had gotten outside and ran after him, screaming his name. Sirens were heard. A short time later, Sam pulled over with her head pounding.
Robin made it to the Hub, followed closely by Lisa, who acted like the syringe was nothing, and warned her that telling Steve an absurd story of a treasure hunt would get them both fired. Steve stepped up and scolded everyone for having another personal fight in the hospital. Then a nurse told Steve that Jake was on the way in after being hit by a car.... Carly found Jax at the hospital with Josslyn, whose fever spiked. They anxiously awaited test results.
At city hall, Lucky asked Siobhan point-blank if she wants to marry him. She fretted, but they still went before the judge. Then Luke burst in, eager to serve as witness. As the ceremony began, Liz called to tell Lucky that Jake was hit. At the penthouse, Dante promised to find a way to nail Jason. He refused to stand by and watch Michael destroy his own life. He was complaining about covering for Michael when Jason got a call from Lucky about Jake.
Brenda nagged Sonny about where the honeymoon will be. He hinted it's someplace warm. Aboard the private jet, he continued to tease her, until she figured out they're going to Positano, Italy. She warned him he better not be pursuing revenge during their honeymoon. He promised no one would ever hurt her again. Meanwhile, Theo and Suzanne parked outside the home of people she identified as the adoptive parents of their grandson, but it was abandoned. He accused her of tipping off the parents.
In the ER, Steve had to restrain Liz from the trauma room. When Lucky arrived, she rushed into his arms, crying, "I'm sorry." Robin told Jason that Jake is in critical condition with head trauma. Steve told him that Liz revealed Jason is Jake's biological father. He advised Jason to steer clear of Liz for now. Michael pointed out that both he and Jason survived head trauma. Lucky quizzed Liz, who said she didn't see any car, only Jake laying in the street, unconscious. He tried to reassure her. Steve reported that Cam and Aiden are fine with a neighbor, then he took his sister upstairs to the cafeteria. Siobhan sat with Lucky, who bemoaned that he was supposed to take the boys tonight. Patrick barred Liz from seeing Jake before the surgery, then he and Robin scrubbed in. Carly called Michael to tell him about Joss. Jason left Sam a message, then sat alone in a darkened waiting room. Tracy found a bereaved Luke drinking alone at The Haunted Star. He told her about Jake. "What kind of heartless bastard hits a child and just keeps driving?" he wondered. He told her that Jake is Jason's biological son, but Lucky is the child's father in every way that matters.
Jax called the failure of his and Carly's marriage one of the great disappointments of his life. Carly suggested they come up with a custody agreement they can both live with. Terrell entered and revealed that Josslyn might have kidney cancer, so he wants to run more tests. If if it's cancer on one kidney, he can remove it. If both kidneys have tumors, they will do chemo, although a transplant is possible. When Michael arrived, Jax filled him in. Michael offered encouraging words to his baby sister.
Carly watched over a sleeping Joss.... Sonny and Brenda kissed.... Tracy sat quietly with Luke.... At the penthouse, Sam got Jason's message.... Patrick and Robin entered the operating theater, while Jason watched from the observation gallery.... Steve guided Liz and Lucky into a conference room, where a sobbing Liz fussed with Jake's sweater and Lucky held her.

In the aftermath of Sunday's tragic and deadly shooting at the Sikh temple in Oak Creek, a question many of us have is, "How could this happen in our own backyard?" And as the mass shootings in Aurora, Colorado occurred not even three weeks before those in Oak Creek, we also likely to be asking how such a violent act happened yet again.
As the Federal and local investigations into Sunday's tragic shootings at the Sikh temple in Oak Creek continue, people all over Southeast Wisconsin hold vigils for the victims and their families, and try to make sense of the violence.Milwaukeean Raminder Kaur attended a downtown vigil Sunday night in honor of the victims of the Oak Creek temple shooting. She says she's gone to services at that temple with her 8-year-old son - who she sometimes worries is a target because of his faith.
Sikhs have a rich history in and contributed greatly to the Milwaukee area - as they have had around the country.
But several sources have told us over the last couple of days that Sikhs have long been targets of discrimination and even violence, very much like the shootings at the Oak Creek temple. And while police maintain that they do not yet know of a motive behind Sunday's violence, it is hard for many in the community not to feel targeted once again.
The tragedy Sunday at the Sikh Temple in Oak Creek continues to unfold.WUWM's Susan Bence joins Bob Bach in the studio.
We're expected to learn much more Monday about the deadly shootings that claimed the lives of six people – and the gunman – at the Sikh temple in Oak Creek Sunday. Ann-Elise Henzl joined Bob Bach during Morning Edition, for a recap of developments so far.

What is Happening to the News?
Have you watched the news lately? It seems to be getting worse and worse as time goes by. The other day they had a report about who had the cheapest car insurance which is not a bad news report but when they don't even give you any facts at all and side by side comparisons it almost sounded like some sort of bad commercial.
Is this happening everywhere? It seems that the news is just not doing a good quality job of reporting anymore. It's just seems like some happy go lucky filler content. "Today there was a murder." Okay, I want to know where… Most of the times they tend to forgot some other important details to a news story like if it's talking about how a family needs lots of help but they never mention how a person can go out and help. That is pretty lame. I mean who does this anymore?
I'm pretty sure the news media is now thinking people have short attention spans but people still want to get informed about the things that happen around the world and get good solid info. Read the rest of this entry »

YouTube Software Engineer Weighs in on Flash and HTML5
Balancing the need for an open web and user needs.
John Harding, Software Engineer for YouTube, threw has hat into the Flash/HTML5 debate giving a point-by-point breakdown of the advantages and disadvantages of the free and open <video> tag provided within HTML5. His conclusion: HTML5 is the way of the future, but the format has a ways to go before it can be fully adopted by YouTube.
Harding's first issue with HTML5 video is the lack of a standard format. YouTube uses h.264, but the licensing issues have limited browser support. This led Google to create the WebM project, which uses the recently opened VP8 codec as a new open standard, but the codec is in its infancy, in need of more support and additional improvements and optimizations before it can become viable.
Harding's second issue with HTML5 is the lack of fine control over buffering and self-adjusting video quality based on connection speed. HTML5 doesn't address streaming protocols, yet.
"Flash Player addresses these needs by letting applications manage the downloading and playback of video via Actionscript in conjunction with either HTTP or the RTMP video streaming protocol," Harding said.
Furthermore, HTML5 doesn't offer content protection, something that Flash offers through the RTMPE protocol. And Flash packages and embeds content securely, something HTML5 has yet to fully accomplish and therefore limits it from being embedded on other sites.
Harding's final two issues are relatively small. HTML5 doesn't support fullscreen mode and is just beginning to offer camera and microphone access. He ends his post by championing HTML5's cross-platform compatibility and championed Flash as the best platform for YouTube's video distribution requirements.

The exhibit uses documents, artifacts and publications from the Institute's collections to tell the story of Walther's life and work from his childhood and education in Saxony, his role in the Saxon Immigration to Missouri, and his multi-faceted career as pastor, seminary president and first president of The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod. It includes information on his family life, musical interests and the effects of the Civil War on his ministry.
The Institute staff has also prepared a PowerPoint presentation using much of the material from the exhibit for personal and educational use in congregations and schools. The special DVD includes manual and automatic versions of the presentation and may be ordered from the Institute for $20.00 plus $2.50 for shipping and handling.
The exhibit includes forty-one of the fifty-seven woodcuts in the Small Passion and the Life of the Virgin series, both of which were put into book form in 1511. This is only the second time that the Institute has displayed its collection of Dürer prints. It will remain on display during regular museum hours until the end of 2011. A donation of $3.00 is requested to view the exhibit.
Albrecht Dürer was born in Nuremberg, Germany, in 1471, and received his early training in that city. After opening his own shop in 1495, he quickly became a printmaker famous throughout Europe, although he also worked in other media. Much of his work depicted scenes from the Bible. Two of his most well-known works are "Praying Hands" and "Rhinoceros."
Click here for the on-line images of these woodcuts from our previous exhibit.
Friedrich Conrad Dietrich Wyneken, second president of the Missouri Synod, was born on 13 May 1810 at Verden, Hannover (Germany). In honor of the 200th anniversary of the birth of this pioneer missionary and synodical leader, the Institute has prepared a special commemorative exhibit for its museum on the Concordia Seminary (Saint Louis) campus. The exhibit was opened with a ribbon cutting on Wednesday, June 9, as part of a reception for Concordia Seminary alumni during alumni reunion week.
In connection with this anniversary, the Institute is also preparing translations of Wyneken's correspondence and other writings so that his work may be more broadly studied and appreciated. Copies of this material will be made available on the CHI web site. Click here for the Wyneken page. And follow the CHI Blog for timely postings about the life and ministry of Wyneken throughout the anniversary year.

I dropped cable tv and cable phone, I do pay them for internet however since I haven't found a faster more reliable service than Roadrunner in my area.
I use the Obi202 and love it. No monthly phone bill, just a $70 box from Amazon. Not many folks have heard of it, but I did a lot of research after seeing the Ooma commercials during last years Super Bowl. The Obitalk products have excellent reviews and so far I have zero complaints after about 6 months of usage.
Roku, Netflix, and Amazon Prime have everything I want to see. Haven't missed cable TV for a moment and I'm saving a lot of money. Roku is amazing also!

Women's Fashion
Radical Changes.
Women's fashions in the 1920s reflected radical changes affecting many areas of post-World War I American society. In the first year of the decade the Nineteenth Amendment had given these women the vote, which, in turn, tended to color their expectations for their lives. Many of them rejected, at least temporarily, the traditional roles of wife and mother and instead entered the workforce of the thriving businesses of the period or enrolled in colleges and universities, which were also experiencing rapidly increasing enrollments. The working girl and the coed were typically young, simultaneously more liberated and more apparently frivolous than their mothers, and intoxicated by the attention lavished on them by the popular press. "Is the Younger Generation in Peril?" asked a long 1921 Literary Digest article. Typical of journalism investigating youth during the decade, it focused almost exclusively upon young women's fashions in dress and cosmetics.
Licentious or Merely Sensible?
Articles of this kind inevitably linked short skirts, the rejection of the corset, and bobbed or shingled hair with "licentious" behavior—smoking, drinking bootleg whiskey, listening to jazz, dancing the Charleston or Black Bottom, necking, and petting. However, other assessments struck a calmer note. Writing at opposite ends of the...

Men's Fashion
Youth Prevails.
During the 1920s men's fashion, like women's, was markedly more youthful, more casual than it had been during preceding decades. The boom in business and the general prosperity in the United States caused a huge increase in the numbers of young men attending colleges and universities throughout the country. And these institutions, whether Ivy League or Big Ten, developed codes of male fashion that only the most independent or misguided students ignored. Collegiate fashions were widely covered in the popular press and in such fashion journals as Men's Wear and Gentlemen's Quarterly, the latter founded as a haberdashery trade catalogue in December 1926.
For collegians, as well as for their elders, the 1920s were an age of hero worship, and many of these heroes substantially influenced men's fashion of the day. Such sports figures as golf's Bobby Jones and Walter Hagen, tennis's Bill Tilden, and swimming's Johnny Weissmuller not only set records in their fields but also provided sartorial models for their admirers, who were engaging in athletics—golf, tennis, and swimming, especially—in record numbers. The gridiron heroics of the University of Illinois's Red Grange or of Notre Dame's Four Horsemen provided a background for spectator fashion shows of raccoon coats, camel-hair polo coats, blue...

Architecture: Urbanization, Philosophical Debate
The single most important influence on American architecture during the 1920s was the steady urbanization throughout the United States. The 1920 census revealed that for the first time in history more than 50 percent of Americans lived in towns or cities. By the end of the decade that figure had risen to 56 percent—or about 69 million—of which nearly 29 million lived in cities of more than 100,000. These commercial and industrial centers flourished not only on the East Coast but also in the upper Midwest, the Southwest, the far West, and Florida. Cities gave birth to skyscrapers, which required minimal horizontal space and which in their verticality suggested power, prosperity, and the latest technology. Cities also produced industrial plants, colossal movie houses, gas stations and tourist cabins (predecessors of motels)—and, by the mid 1920s, traffic jams and pollution. Thus, as these urban centers grew, so too did the desire to escape them. Miles of concrete roads led to suburbs that seemed to promise defense against the overcrowding, noise, and frantic pace increasingly identified with city life by the decade's end.
American Conservatism.
Like the U.S. political leaders of the decade—Harding, Coolidge, and Hoover—the major American architects of the 1920s were essentially conservative. Many had been trained in...

Quintessentially American. Perhaps no structure more clearly expressed the optimism, energy, and ambition of the American 1920s than the skyscraper. As cities boomed, so too did the number of gigantic towers, proclaiming through their often startlingly individualistic forms the power and grandeur of American endeavors in general and American business in particular. The 1920s have been called the richest era in skyscraper design, primarily because of the theatrical romanticism of the buildings that appeared during the decade. The glistening white Wrigley Building in Chicago, begun in 1921 by Graham, Anderson, Probst, and White; the massive, curved-base Standard Oil Building, built by Carrère and Hastings on lower Broadway in 1926; and the ornately crowned tower—meant to suggest radio waves—of

City Homes
Attractions of City Life.
During the 1920s, as in later decades of the twentieth century, huge numbers of Americans were drawn to the city by the perceived advantages it offered. The great urban centers—New York, Chicago, and Detroit, for example—seemed to promise the most exciting and most lucrative job opportunities, whether for stockbrokers, business entrepreneurs, factory workers, automobile salesmen, department-store clerks, or secretaries and receptionists. Cities offered a rich cultural life: theater, music and dance, and movies----- particularly foreign movies like those of Sergei Eisenstein or Fritz Lang—that almost certainly would not be shown in small-town movie houses. Nightclub-speakeasies were primarily a phenomenon of the city, as were exotic ethnic restaurants, ethnic shops, or ethnic population centers. All these factors drew multitudes to America's great cities.
Yet with these advantages came pronounced urban problems. By the mid 1920s city streets were clogged with traffic—automobiles, trucks, taxicabs—and plans to relieve this vehicular congestion were either nonexistent or impractical, as was Harvey Wiley Corbett's vision of major city thoroughfares constructed many stories above existing streets. The internal-combustion engine also created increased levels of air pollution in cities: an 11 March...

The Suburbs
Suburbs and the Automobile.
The city offered economic opportunity and cultural excitement, but it also provoked in many Americans of the decade a nostalgia for the small-town or rural homes of their childhood—a desire for a private refuge from the traffic, noise, air pollution, and general commotion of the urban scene. The 1920s saw a boom in the housing industry, with 767,000 units built in 1922 and 1,048,000 units in 1925, most of these in the expanding suburbs. The middle class could elect to move to the suburbs because automobiles—the primary form of transportation between the job in the city and the home in the suburbs—were becoming more affordable. New and used Model Ts and other relatively inexpensive cars were widely available, and by 1930 more than 22 million of these vehicles were on American roads.
Affordable Middle-Class Housing.
Although flight from the city had begun during the prewar period as an upper-class phenomenon, such exclusive suburban neighborhoods as Grosse Point, Michigan; Lake Forest, Illinois; or Tuxedo Park, New York, were gradually joined by humbler middle-class subdivisions. An annual family income of $2,500 and the newly popular installment plan made it possible for an upper-level bank clerk or a manager of a shoe store to purchase both an inexpensive automobile and a small suburban bungalow-style...

Interior Design
Defining Lifestyles.
During the 1920s the interior design of homes, offices, and public buildings attracted greater general interest in America than it ever had in the past. Choice and arrangement of furnishings—whether chairs, lamps, floor coverings, or art objects—became subjects for professional training as well as measures of the homeowner's or apartment dweller's taste. The August 1924 Vanity Fair advertised eight schools of interior design, the majority centered in New York City, the others were in Boston and Cambridge, Massachusetts, and in San Francisco, and two of the eight claimed European branches in Paris and Florence. The decade saw the profusion of how-to books, such as Ethel Davis Seal's Furnishing the Little House (1924) and The House Beautiful Furnishing Annual 1926 (1925)—the latter of which bore the subtitle A Comprehensive and Practical Manual for the Guidance of All Who Seek Comfortable and Attractive Homes. Interior design was treated regularly in such magazines as House Beautiful, Arts & Decoration, and Fruit, Garden and Home (founded in 1922 and renamed later in the decade Better Homes & Gardens). Home decoration also became a recurrent subject for fashion magazines, notably Vogue and Harper's Bazaar. In the 1920s fashion clearly extended beyond clothing and hairstyles to include the...

Movie Palaces
Pleasure Domes.
Among the most extravagant public buildings of the 1920s were the great movie theaters that sprung up in major cities throughout America. Shrines to prosperity, technology, and entertainment, these huge pleasure domes often combined vaudeville-style acts (dance troops, orchestras, vocal ensembles) with a movie—usually last on the bill—accompanied by a "mighty Wurlitzer" organ that was raised on a platform from the orchestra pit. For the price of a twenty-five-cent ticket (before 6 P.M.), a housewife could drop of her young children at the theater nursery, which included baby sitters and a resident nursing staff. She would then pass through an opulently decorated lobby and, if so inclined, an equally opulent ladies' lounge before being escorted to her first-balcony seat by a grand personage: a scrupulously polite, impeccably white-gloved usher in a tuxedo or military-cadet-style uniform with rows of brass buttons and shoulder braid on its jacket. In her seat she would be delighted by carved and inlaid and gilded and magnificently lighted walls and ceilings, statuary and paintings, elaborately decorated and draped stage curtains, wondrous air conditioning, and plush velvet seats. All this for two bits, with the show yet to come.

Automobiles: In Search of Style
The Amazing Tin Lizzie.
Henry Ford's Model T—popularly labeled the "Tin Lizzie" or "flivver"—- revolutionized American society. This simple, tough, affordable car, which was produced between October 1908 and May 1927, put America on wheels. Nearly 15,5 million Model Ts were manufactured, and an astonishing 75 percent of them were still being driven when the car went out of production in 1927. Priced as low as $260 (for a new-roadster in 1925; a good used Model T could be bought for about $50), the Tin Lizzie was the answer to the workingman's prayers. She was also frequently the object of his curses as he backed her up steep grades (reverse was her most powerful gear), pushed her through mud holes, and tried to start her on cold mornings. Yet no other car so captured the imagination of the American public: the Model T spawned songs, doggerel verse, jokes, camaraderie among owners, and a multitude of appreciative letters to Henry Ford, who was widely regarded as the common man's friend and benefactor because of his automobile.

Automobiles: The Olympian Cars
The period of the "Olympian Cars, "a phrase coined by Richard Burns Carson, began around 1925 and extended into the early 1930s. These magnificent automobiles were brilliantly engineered and meticulously styled, and many of them were personalized by the custom coachwork of the great coach-making companies of the period—Brunn, LeBaron, Fleetwood, Dietrich, and Brewster. The January 1929 issue of Arts & Decoration illustrated several of the fine vehicles of the year, including a convertible Lincoln detailed by Dietrich; a Pierce-Arrow with "luxurious cushions" and gold ornamental hardware designed for Mrs. Calvin Coolidge; and a Cadillac convertible coupé with bodywork by Fisher and interior colors—"suggested by Vermeer's 'Head of a Young Girl' "—of pale blue, gold, and gray. These upscale cars made up no more than 5 percent of the American automobile market, but they spurred the imagination of the first generation in which a person's motorcar became an important indicator of his or her social class. Automobile historian Stephen W. Sears has declared that old wealth tended to choose the "dignified" marques—Cunningham, Pierce-Arrow, American Rolls-Royce, or (rather surprisingly, considering its quite recent origins) Lincoln; new wealth gravitated toward Cadillac, Stutz, Franklin, and Chrysler; the adventurous few chose America's most splendid automobile,...

Carnegie, Hattie 1886-1956
Fashion and Business Sense.
Hattie Carnegie, who first achieved prominence in American fashion during the 1920s, was known for both her sophisticated taste in women's clothing and her genius in business. Having little talent for drawing, cutting, or sewing, Carnegie was not a designer in the usual sense; she instead altered original fashions imported from France and directed and polished the work of her own design assistants to ensure under-stated elegance and excellent workmanship in the clothing she sold. Carnegie was reportedly the first American to produce both custom-made and ready-to-wear garments under a single label, and she was among the first to complement her clothing stores with separate millinery, jewelry, cosmetics, and perfume establishments, thereby creating a multimillion-dollar empire.
Early Life.
Born Henrietta Kanengeiser in a Vienna ghetto, Carnegie came with her family to Manhattan's Lower East Side when she was six years old. As a teenager she worked as a messenger at Macy's, made hats for acquaintances, and adopted the surname of steel tycoon Andrew Carnegie, whose rags-to-riches story she hoped to duplicate. Hattie Carnegie's energy, her tiny, trim figure (she was less than five feet tall), and her personal flair drew the attention of Rose Roth, a seamstress, who hired...

Chanel, Gabrielle "Coco" 1883-1971
Coco Chanel once declared, "Legend is the consecration of celebrity," and no other fashion designer in history has exceeded either Chanel's celebrity or her legend. She was a fiercely independent lover of dukes, industrialists, and artists; a confidante of many of the creative geniuses of her day—among them, writer Jean Cocteau, painter Pablo Picasso, ballet impresario Sergei Diaghilev, and composer Igor Stravinsky; and a self-created image of the free-spirited "new woman" of the 1920s, Through her personal example and the fashion empire she established, Chanel launched and sustained the movement toward simplicity, practicality, and unfussy elegance in women's clothing. "A fashion that does not reach the streets is not a fashion," she said, and by the early years of the 1920s, Chanel fashion had reached streets throughout Europe and the United States.

Dietrich, Raymond M. 1894-1980
In the 1920s, for the first time, styling became a focus for mass-produced cars. During the preceding two decades body design had been a significant concern for only the most expensive of automobiles. Often a grandmarque auto company would manufacture a chassis—the frame and working parts—and then turn it over to a custom coach builder, who would construct the body with the particular styling features specified by the wealthy customer (he would have to be extremely well-to-do, since in 1920 a custom-built automobile cost between $12,000 and $15,000—the equivalent of $120,000 to $150,000 in 1995 figures). Among the great coach-building companies were Brewster, Healy, Judkins, and Derham, all of which enjoyed reputations for splendid work and all of which had moved into automobile-body construction and design when their original roles as producers of horse-drawn carnages had become obsolete. During the mid and late 1920s custom coach builders again felt the burdens of progress, as manufacturers of expensive cars moved toward mass production and toward setting up their own design departments or coach-building subsidiaries. One of the key figures in this transition was Raymond H. Dietrich, a genuine artist in the evolving automobile industry.

Ferriss, Hugh 1889-1962
Recorder and Inspirer.
Hugh Ferriss was a trained architect whose preferred tools were paper and charcoal pencils. For more than three decades beginning in the 1920s, he was America's most-respected "delineator"—artistic renderer—of urban architecture. As delineator he provided both early design sketches and fully developed presentation drawings for more than one hundred architectural firms during the 1920s. Many of these commissioned drawings were published in trade journals, popular magazines, and newspapers, as were Ferriss's noncommercial visions of the urban scene. Recording the evolution of city architecture, particularly of the skyscraper, Ferriss's drawings also helped inspire and direct the changes that occurred during the decade.
Early Life and Career.
Ferriss was born in Saint Louis, where he earned an architectural degree from Washington University in 1911. After a year as an apprentice draftsman with the architectural firm of Mariner and La Beaume, he left Saint Louis to take a draftsman position in the New York office of Cass Gilbert, architect of the Woolworth Building, then nearing completion. Following two years with Gilbert and with his encouragement, Ferris decided in 1915 to try to establish a career for himself as an independent architectural delineator. He lived...

Hood, Raymond M. 1881-1934
Currents and Contradictions.
During the 1920s America was noted for its distinguished sky-scraper architect s—Harvey Wiley Corbett, Ralph Walker, Ely Jacques Kahn, William Van Alen—but no single figure so fully embodied the currents and contradictions of the decade as Raymond Mathewson Hood. Classically trained in the United States and Paris and apprenticed in one of America's major architectural firms, Hood proved amazingly independent. In the course of his brief twelve-year career he evolved from an adherent of the Gothic style to a practitioner of modernism. Born into a prosperous, conservative family, he preferred the commotion of the urban scene to the respectability of the stately architectural firm. As one commentator remarked, during a decade in which most well-known architects were in the Social Register, Raymond Hood was in the phone book. Yet he designed and built several of the notable commercial buildings of the 1920s and early 1930s.
Hood, the son of a well-to-do Providence, Rhode Island, box manufacturer, attended Brown University for two years and then enrolled in the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where he earned an architectural degree in 1903. Following his graduation he worked as a draftsman in Boston for the Gothic architectural firm of Cram,...

Kahn, Albert 1869-1942
"Beautiful Factories."
Detroit-based architect Albert Kahn has been called the father of the modern American factory. By the 1920s Detroit had become the center of the flourishing U.S. automobile industry, and Kahn provided what he described as "beautiful factories"—streamlined and functional—for many of the great Detroit manufacturers. Packard, Chrysler, General Motors, and Ford were among his clients, as were giants in such worldwide industries as food, textiles, chemicals, and business machines. During the early 1930s Kahn helped establish factories and engineering education in the Soviet Union; later in the 1930s and in the first years of World War II he developed plants for the construction of tanks and military aircraft. Throughout his career he also designed notable nonindustrial structures: the Detroit Athletic club, office buildings for General Motors and Fisher, the Hill Auditorium and Clements Library at the University of Michigan, and handsome private homes for such Grosse Point auto magnates as H. E. Dodge and Edsel Ford. But it is for his more than two thousand factories that Albert Kahn is remembered.

Mizner, Addison 1872-1933
Genius or Fraud?
Because of the extravagance of his vision and his connection with the Florida boom during the 1920s, Addison Mizner has been described both as a genius of American architecture and as one of architecture's great frauds. An early biographer quipped that his flamboyant Palm Beach "villas" embodied a "Bastard-Spanish-Moorish-Romanesque-Gothic-Renaissance-Bull-Market-Damn-the-Expense style." Yet his work was praised by such notable figures as Frank Lloyd Wright, skyscraper designer Harvey Wiley Corbett, and sculptor Jo Davidson. Whatever the final assessment of his work, Mizner undeniably embodied the ebullient, gaudy, expansive spirit of the decade.
Early Life.
Mizner was born into a prominent California family who encouraged his youthful interest in drawing. A year in Guatemala, where his father served as an American diplomat, inspired Mizner's love for Spanish architecture and artifacts, a passion that was sharpened by a few months' residence at the University of Salamanca in Spain. Never much of a student, he avoided the usual avenue to architectural success in his time—the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris—and instead became an apprentice in 1893 with San Francisco architect Willis Polk. Soon running up substantial debts, Mizner fled San Francisco for Alaska, where he joined...

Patou, Jean 1880?-1936
Spirit of the 1920s.
Jean Patou may have been the couturier who most fully embodied the spirit of the 1920s. A handsome, high-stakes gambler in both the casinos and the fashion world, Patou aligned himself with the restless international café society of Paris and the newly popular Riviera. He helped define the youthful, athletic look of the mid 1920s by producing exquisitely cut short dresses, often pleated or fitted with geometric inserts to ensure freedom of movement, and by introducing "Cubist" sweaters and bathing suits. He identified this style as particularly "American" and stunned the fashion world by importing six young women from the United States to model in his Paris shows. Yet with his 1929 collections Patou almost single-handedly killed the "boyish" look by, during his spring show, reintroducing the natural bustline and waistline to women's fashion and, during his fall show, dropping skirt lengths to at least midcalf, a style that took hold as the Great Depression began.
Born in Normandy, Patou was the son of an affluent tanner known for the fine leathers he produced for specialty bookbinders. Supported by family money, the young Patou tried his hand as a furrier, a tailor, and, finally, a Paris dressmaker, opening "Maison Parry" in 1912 and moving to the rue St....

M-G-M costume designer Adrian (born Adrian Adolph Greenburg), who had worked with Irving Berlin on Broadway and Rudolph Valentino in Hollywood, began a revolution in millinery by costuming Greta Garbo in a slouch hat in the 1928 movie A Woman of Affairs, a tepid version of Michael Allen's 1924 novel The Green Hat. The slouch hat, a soft-crowned felt with a flexible brim pulled down over one eye, replaced the cloche in the late 1920s and early 1930s as the most popular women's hat style.

Welcome to lands of bloodshed and chaos, where new civilizations rise and fall from the whims of gods, and the clash of blades. Well, first things first of course, the world these struggles happen. The gods were tired of watching humanity, the grand creation of mother nature, wanting their to not watch another's triumphs, but mould their own, wishing only to further their own power, wanting to be the next big fish. The gods that came together were far from strong enough to create new worlds by themselves, and thus made a truce between them. They would each form their part of a world, where their owns creations roamed, the lands however they saw fit. The pieces of the puzzle complete, they placed them together, a new world crafted from their combined might, an achievement they could all revel in. Though their lust for power never fled, and their greed did not just want the part they had crafted. The lands broke into war, the gods sending their creations to butcher each other, the last man standing left to claim the world as their own, and cast the other gods into the abyss. You play as one of these many gods fighting over this world, your people shaped in whatever twisted way you can think of, and they await your command, ready to wage war in your name.
This idea's still completely changeable, this just being something to get the brain ticking. Making your own race, you also get to choose the geography of your part of the world, which will inevitably leave to some quite interesting climates, and ones that should make sense for what lives their, and reachable by ground to make it balanced unless everyone has some form of air transportation, such as bird men using their natural wings, lizerdfolk riding dragons, etc. Don't make races too ridiculously powerful now ether, or if you are expected to have very few of them, so for example say pete has made his main race as huge giants made of titanium. He's going to get only one of them, and its techs going to be as complex as trying to punch you, and because of its ridiculous toughness and power, gods can actually just go up to it and punch it in the face, as it lacks any kind of resistance to keeping them far away, out of their reach. Oh yes, nearly forgot some things. You also think up the wild life for your area, and make them interesting too, and actually adapted to their climate. You can also choose to have one or so "lesser" beings, think of goblins for orcs and kobolds for dragons, that kind of thing. Gods can also do some funky stuff too depending on what they are the god of, and also affects what beings their allowed to create. For example, the god of storms would have beings made of crackling lightning or water, or something else themed around lightning, thunder, and stormy weather, and able to do such things as throw lightning bolts onto foes below, and cause massive winds to halt advances and even blow some lighter creatures away. These will obviously have limits, so as not to have gods just spaming their death powers everywhere and making elite troops worthless. I've still got more idea's for this, and its all still workable.

Advisory: The link tooltip and the statusbar can be misleading
Opera's status bar shows the "title" attribute of a form inputimage, not the form's "action" URL. This may mislead the user.
Severity: Very low
Problem description
It is possible to make a form input that looks like an image link.If the form input has a "title" attribute, the status bar will showthe "title". A "title" which looks like a URL can mislead the user,since the title can say http://nice.familiar.com/, while the formaction can be something else.
Opera's tooltip says "Title:" before the title text, making a spoofURL less convincing. A user who has enabled the status bar anddisabled tooltips can be affected by this. Neither of these settingsare Opera's defaults.
Opera's response
Opera has released version 8.52, which displays the form action URL in the status bar,and both the "title" and the action URL in the tooltip.
Thanks to Secunia for pointing out how the "title" attributecould be abused to trick the user.

Unique/Uncommon names on someone you've actually known
I'm looking for some naming inspiration for my baby boy due this summer. We've been having a hard time coming up with something we both like and I feel like I've looked at every name out there. Maybe by looking for unique inspirations from someone you've known I can get some good ideas. I'll start...
Tully - friend of my brother in school
Antares - even though its a boy name, I went to school with a girl named Antares and always thought it was a pretty name

I know a lot of kids with the usual, boring names, but I do know an Atticus!
I'm a thirteen year old writer with a name obsession.
In love with:
~Viola Alice~
~Eren Alexander~
~Ciel William~
~Astrid Valencia~
~Roxanne Faye~
No matter what kind of wisdom dictates you the option you should pick, no one will be able to tell if it's right or wrong till you arrive to some sort of outcome, resulting from your choice. The only thing we are allowed to do is to believe that we won't regret the choice we made. — Levi, Attack on Titan.

This is Man-Tsun. I was born in Hong Kong and studied Fine Art in Canada. I would like to call myself a "2-face artist". Why? During the day, I am a creative manager and create lots of corporate and commercial stuff. But once I get off work, I turn myself 180-degree and create illustrations with a narrative that is somewhat abstract in a dark world. My style has manifested into forms of dark 'abstract-ness' by consistent attempts to beautify negative matter that exists in my pure imaginative state during the process of creation. My illustrations have been exhibited in Hong Kong, Ukraine and United State. Recently I had my second solo exhibition held in Hong Kong here.

Vaccinating most of a population can provide fringe benefits for all. Why do your neighbor's vaccinations help make you safer from infection? SA's Dina Fine Maron takes a look at herd immunity and explains how it helps keep outbreaks at bay.
This was a useful clip. It's unfortunate that vaccine deniers have such a wide influence. Especially in the case of measles (which requires 94% vaccination in the population), there was a case of a mega-church whose preacher spread the falsehood that the measles vaccine promoted autism (an anti-social idea which has been totally debunked); there was also a case in Brooklyn where a religious sect promoted faith-healing as opposed to measles vaccinations, and there were some dangerous measles cases.
Reply | Report Abuse | Link to thisSounds logical. But even with the protection offered by other immunized people surrounding you in your population, it's still best to get vaccinated yourself, so you needn't rely on the herd for protection.
Reply | Report Abuse | Link to thisIt supports the practice of subsidizing vaccinations by the government/population as those that get vaccinated benefit even those who do not. This herd benefit has more recently been demonstrated with the pneumococcal vacine PCV7 which has reduced the incidence of pneumonia even for elderly people who do not get the vaccination but are less likely to be exposed to others with the infection in nursing homes and hospitals. Unfortunate when in the USA we have the HPV vaccine costing $500 per child treated so only affluent parents can afford to protect their children.
