Foreign Service Officer Michael Thurston: Diplomat In Residence, Southeast Region
The U.S. Department of State has assigned Senior Foreign
Service Officer Michael Thurston as Diplomat in Residence (DIR) for the Southeast Region of the United States. Although he will travel to universities throughout Northern Florida, Southern Alabama, Southern Georgia and Southern Mississippi, DIR Thurston is housed in Suite 305 of the Office of International Education & Development at Florida A&M University.
Prior to accepting this appointment, he served in Afghanistan as the Political Advisor and Senior Civilian to the Special Operations Joint Task Force/ NATO Special Operations Command. Previous posts include Mexico, Sri Lanka, New Zealand, South Africa (Durban), Ethiopia, Rwanda, Iraq, Australia and Burma. Thurston was the Chargè d'Affaires of the U.S. Embassy in Burma (2011-2012) during a period of dramatic change when the embassy staff worked to intensify diplomatic engagement with the existing Burmese government implement a more democratic agenda showing greater respect for the human rights of its people. Several releases of political prisoners took
place and a fair election occurred resulting in the election of 1991 Nobel Peace Prize recipient Aung San Suu Kyi to Parliament. Kyi captured worldwide attention for her advocacy of democracy while a political candidate and leader of the National League for Democracy in Burma. She was placed under house arrest for almost 15 years. Because of the advances made in the country, the U.S. Embassy welcomed Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on her 2011 visit to Burma, the first by a U.S. Secretary of State since that of John Foster Dulles in 1955.
A native of the Puget Sound area of the state of Washington, DIR Thurston completed his undergraduate study and law school at the University of Washington. Prior to entering the foreign service, he served as a Deputy Prosecuting Attorney in Seattle. FAMU faculty are encouraged to utilize the international affairs experience of the DIR as a guest lecturer on topics related to how U.S. foreign policies are developed and implemented, issues impacting on U.S. relations in the Middle East, and careers with the U.S. Department of State. Graduates and young professionals are invited to explore careers as foreign service officers. The telephone number is (850) 599-3295 or 412-7072.

Manufacturer's Description
Watch movies that have been compressed using DivX, and create your own DivX files from DVDs or other digital video files saved on your PC. DivX uses MPEG-4 format, which allows videos to be compressed to about 15 percent of the size of a standard DVD. This in turn lets you fit your videos on a Zip disk, burn them on a CD, upload them to a file sharing network, or play them over the Web. Because of MPEG-4's ability to compress video so powerfully, some call it "the MP3 of the video world."

yeah, that will maybe piss everyone off, but still not enable ISIS to spread their terror messages.
yes. and not patched.
like windows 2003, which is stull in support, but so badly designed that a patch is not possible.
on patch day, not only the trutype thingie got fixed, but 35 other remote code executions in MSIE.
Shows code quality.
and glibc "ghost"
oh wait...
that one was mostly a publicity stunt from the security company.
It heppens that an extension does not install because the firefox version does not match.
The only thing not OK is the developer not having submitted a new file where the version is changed.
I usually unpack the extension, change the firefox version and repack it again.
And it works flawlessy.
Now, with signing, this will probably be impossible.
Pinning firefox in apt
it actually updates systemd in ram by doing a reexec
Something which was possible for other processes.
To do this with the PID1 is something new.
And if that is going to work all the time is a mystery.
You could expect kernel panic on a systemd update.
... so I can stay away from it and know when to change to BSD
just renamed all my "root" users to "admin"
Try to bruteforce that!
Maybe I should rename to "Ht695rdwP"
google translate, translates correctly to SSH
DrWeb, such good "researchers" they can't even translate their own shit
Now that's easy to remember!
Spaceballs is old, now it's IT crowd, and it makes for way better passwords.
... but noone listens to me anyway.
You can also ask any cryptoexpert. There are ways to crypt and also have decrypting by court order only.
PKI plus public key of authorities, decryptable by 2 keys. government decrypt key is owned by multiple people so decrypting without court order is difficult
Won't work for OTR obviously
or reboot, interact with grub, start a shell
instructions are a google search away for "recover from lost root password"
we need a tacky name for that windows vulnerability, else it's never going to make the news!

I have been trying to get my friends to watch Clannad since like 2 years ago. I even gave them my copys of the show, but they are too lazy to watch them!
However this year at Otakon someone made an AMV of Clannad, and now they really want to watch it. So my friends and I are going to watch/re-watch the series from Thursday till it's done. Lol.

This is the ONY ANIME where i've came so incredibly close to crying my eyes out from the start to the very last episode.
I can't stand tearjerkers so i got rid of my copy of Clannad and Afterstory but i have to say, this anime IS good for anyone who's into heavy Drama and hints of Comedy throughout an anime involving romance.

After a certain person died, I actually stopped watching the anime and curled up in bed for 3 days and cried each time I thought about it. It was so sad.

I haven't felt/cried this way in a long time from watching a series. I have to say I loved the first season of Clannad. I couldn't understand is why I was so emotional touch by first season. Nothing special about the characters right? The same harem like series that there is the main character and his bumbling friend ( no chance with any of the women) and 5 to 6 girls who want to be his girlfriend. But the ending of season 1 was touching. I had to watch it a second time. I hesitated watching After Story because I really enjoyed the first season and man that was one hell of emotional roll-coaster ride. Spoiler for Clannad After Story:
I give this series a 8/10. First season a 9/10 and with the second season with a 7/10. |

Throw it on the ground
Well, season 1 does have a number of advantages....
-- The side characters. We really don't know what happens with them later on AS, so you really need to appreciate Nagisa to appreciate AS. -- Overall, season 1 is more consistent. The first 1/3 of After Story varied a lot in quality and I'd say certain parts were outright bad. -- Season 1 is lighter and stronger in the comedy aspect which actually sets it apart from its 2 other siblings Kanon and Air too as well as After Story, not everyone likes all that drama etc. -- Season 1 ED> Season 2 ED, lol. It's hard to say, since season 2 becomes quite a different show from season 1.

Unlike your opinion about the first half of After Story, I thoroughly enjoyed it. Of course it doesn't compare to what follows, it was still pretty interesting to dive into the history of some of the other side characters. Admittedly, the first couple of episodes do seem to lose some aim and becomes a little inconsistent but everything falls into place from episodes 9-22. Ultimately it is pretty difficult to say which season should be rated higher considering the distinctions of not only the focus, but the genre as well. At the end of the day, it all boils down to personal preferences but none of that takes away what Clannad is

Throw it on the ground
Well, I guess it's hard to judge them separately, which is why I won't. I actually do like the fact that both seasons have such a different focus and theme (would be lame if it stayed the same.) The two halves of Clannad allow it to be a more fully featured story that covers the whole range of emotions which is something I also liked about Higurashi, another show that had radically different seasons. In any case, the story and characters have been irrevocably changed for better or for worse. But hey, that's the point of a story, isn't it?
But I don't know, I still think Clannad stumbled around near the end particularly around Ushio dying in After Story, though it of course ended well. And that's what counts. Oh yea, I rewatched AS 22 last week , and for some reason was overwhelmed at one point I had to step away even though I didn't have to when I first watched it. I obviously knew what was gonna happen this time, but it didn't really matter. Can you guess which scene?

One of many from After Story. Watching Ushio struggle yet remain determined (just like her mother) while walking through the snow was just ironic and heart-wrenching at the same time.
Sometimes the tragedy in this series overshadows the subtleties and I wouldn't have it any other way, it's something that I truly appreciate.

I grew to love Nagisa and Ushio and just watching them struggle from this fever just made it very tough to continue watching without a tear actually growing in my eyes, I must admit Clannad: After Story had the best heart-breaking moments I have ever seen in an anime.

Either way, that whole scene where Tomoya had to choose between never meeting Nagisa or living through adversity again was such a powerful moment. Tomoya breaking down and yelling out Nagisa's name always gets to me regardless of how many times I watch it. And yes, the colors do help the beauty of the entire scene

McMafia: A Journey Through the Global Criminal Underworld (Paperback)
Shipped to Tattered Cover in 3 to 7 days
With the collapse of the Soviet Union, the fall of the Berlin Wall, and the deregulation of international financial markets in 1989, governments and entrepreneurs alike became intoxicated by dreams of newly opened markets. But no one could have foreseen that the greatest success story to arise from these events would be the worldwide rise of organized crime. Today, it is estimated that illegal trade accounts for one-fifth of the global GDP.
In this fearless and wholly authoritative investigation of the seemingly insatiable demand for illegal wares, veteran reporter Misha Glenny travels across five continents to speak with participants from every level of the global underworld—police, victims, politicians, and even the criminals themselves. What follows is a groundbreaking, propulsive look at an unprecedented phenomenon from a savvy, street-wise guide.
About the Author
Misha Glenny is an award-winning journalist and scholar who was educated at Bristol University in England and charles University in Prague. A former BBC central Europe correspondent, he covered the fall of Communism and the wars in the former Yugoslavia. He has contributed to most major news publications in Europe and the United States and is the author of The Rebirth of History: The Fall of Yugoslavia (which won the Overseas Press Club Award in 1993 for Best Book on Foreign Affairs) and The Balkans: Nationalism, War & The Great Powers, 1804-1999. During the 1990s, he was an International Scholar at the Woodrow Wilson Center in Washington and a visiting professor at the London School of Economics. He has also worked as a political consultant in southeastern Europe and is regularly consulted by U.S. and European governments on Balkan issues. Misha Glenny lives in London.
Praise for McMafia: A Journey Through the Global Criminal Underworld…
"A smart, outraged, and vividly described whirlwind tour of criminal conspiracy…. Clear, compelling, and scary." —The Christian Science Monitor "Glenny's obsessive interest in his subject is infections, and his colorful writing and eye for detail give [McMafia] the feel of a juicy tell-all." —The Washington Post"Riveting. . . . Provides insightful sociological perspectives about why certain nations spawn especially widespread and virulent organized crime networks." —The Seattle Times"Daring. . . . A bravura piece of globe-trotting reportage." —San Francisco Chronicle"A terrifying tour of the violent underworld of globalized crime."—New York Post"Eye-opening…Engrossing."—The Miami Herald"A vividly recounted journey through a dozen of the world's most potent gangs, cartels and transnational mafias."—The Wall Street JournalFor anyone who wants to understand the 21st century, this illuminating and page-turning book is essential reading. —Emma Thompson"'Behind every great fortune,' said Balzac, 'there lies a great crime.' Misha Glenny has updated this aperçu for our own time."—Christopher Hitchens, author of God is Not Great"A riveting and chilling journey . . . Readers yearning for a deeper understanding of the real-life, international counterparts to The Sopranos need look no further than Glenny's engrossing study."—Publishers Weekly "In this well-researched and riveting account, Glenny does for crime what he did for the Balkans. He dissects the international criminal organizations that run much of the world's economy and explains how the criminal underworld has both benefited from and contributed to globalization."—Joseph Stiglitz, author of Making Globalization Work

Cuyahoga Falls considering road projects
At the Nov. 12 Cuyahoga Falls City Council meeting, several new pieces of legislation were introduced for consideration, including five resolutions relating to road construction projects throughout the city and one to conduct a feasibility study on a major construction project.
The following resolutions would authorize the director of public service to apply for and accept financial assistance in the form of a grant from the U.S. Department of Transportation through the Akron Metropolitan Area Transportation Study (AMATS), for:
- the resurfacing of Second Street between Crawford School Way and Broad Boulevard;
- the reconstruction of Front and Second streets between Chestnut Boulevard and the Cuyahoga River;
- the resurfacing of Steels Corners Road between State Road and Wyndham Ridge Drive.
- the resurfacing of Front Street between Broad Boulevard and Second Street; and
- the construction of the Wyoga Lake Road Multi-Purpose Trail.
According to Councilwoman Mary Ellen Pyke (Ward 2), if the grant is accepted and the city is awarded money for the trail project, a hiking/biking trail would be constructed in this area and connected to other area parks in Metro Parks, Serving Summit County.
According to City Engineer Tony Demasi, none of these proposed projects will begin for at least a few years.
"If we are awarded the money, the resurfacing projects will probably begin within two to three years, but the bigger projects probably won't begin for at least six or seven years," Demasi said.
Council members also heard a resolution authorizing the director of public service to apply for and accept financial assistance in the form of a grant from the U.S. Department of Transportation, through AMATS, to conduct a feasibility study of implementing two-way traffic on Front and Second streets between Broad Boulevard and state Route 8.
According to Demasi, if the feasibility study is conducted, a consultant will be hired to do studies to see if this project is possible and talk to residents and motorists about their thoughts on the project.
Council will hold committee meetings Nov. 18 and a regular meeting Nov. 25, both beginning at 6:30 p.m., at the Natatorium, located at 2345 Fourth St.

Henry Mancini
This article needs additional citations for verification. (October 2012) |
Henry Mancini | |
Background information | |
Birth name | Enrico Nicola Mancini |
Born | Cleveland, Ohio, U.S. |
April 16, 1924
Died | June 14, 1994 Los Angeles, California, U.S. |
(aged 70)
Genres | Film scores, easy listening, jazz |
Occupation(s) | Composer, arranger, conductor |
Instruments | Piano, piccolo |
Years active | 1946–1994 |
Enrico Nicola "Henry" Mancini (April 16, 1924 – June 14, 1994)[1] was an American composer, conductor and arranger, who is best remembered for his film and television scores. Often cited as one of the greatest composers in the history of film,[2][3] he won four Academy Awards, a Golden Globe, and twenty Grammy Awards, plus a posthumous Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in 1995.
His best known works include the jazz-idiom theme to The Pink Panther film series ("The Pink Panther Theme") and the theme to the Peter Gunn television series, the latter of which won the first ever Grammy Award for Album of the Year. Mancini had a long collaboration with the film director Blake Edwards.
Early life[edit]
Mancini was born in the Little Italy neighborhood of Cleveland, and was raised near Pittsburgh, in the steel town of West Aliquippa, Pennsylvania. His parents emigrated from the Abruzzo region of Italy. Mancini's father, Quinto (born March 13, 1893, Scanno, Italy) was a steelworker, who made his only child begin piccolo lessons at the age of eight.[4] When Mancini was 12 years old, he began piano lessons. Quinto and Henry played flute together in the Aliquippa Italian immigrant band, "Sons of Italy". After graduating from Aliquippa High School in 1942, Mancini attended the renowned Juilliard School of Music in New York. In 1943, after roughly one year at Juilliard, his studies were interrupted when he was drafted into the United States Army. In 1945, he participated in the liberation of a concentration camp in southern Germany.
Newly discharged, Mancini entered the music industry. Entering 1946, he became a pianist and arranger for the newly re-formed Glenn Miller Orchestra, led by 'Everyman' Tex Beneke. After World War II, Mancini broadened his skills in composition, counterpoint, harmony and orchestration during studies opening with the composers Ernst Krenek and Mario Castelnuovo-Tedesco.[5]
In 1952, Mancini joined the Universal Pictures music department. During the next six years, he contributed music to over 100 movies, most notably The Creature from the Black Lagoon, It Came from Outer Space, Tarantula, This Island Earth, The Glenn Miller Story (for which he received his first Academy Award nomination), The Benny Goodman Story and Orson Welles' Touch of Evil. During this time, he also wrote some popular songs. His first hit was a single by Guy Lombardo and His Royal Canadians titled I Won't Let You Out of My Heart.
Mancini left Universal-International to work as an independent composer/arranger in 1958. Soon afterward, he scored the television series Peter Gunn[4] for writer/producer Blake Edwards. This was the genesis of a relationship in which Edwards and Mancini collaborated on 30 films over 35 years. Along with Alex North, Elmer Bernstein, Leith Stevens and Johnny Mandel, Henry Mancini was a pioneer of the inclusion of jazz elements in the late romantic orchestral film and TV scoring prevalent at the time.
Mancini's scores for Blake Edwards included Breakfast at Tiffany's (with the standard "Moon River")[4] and Days of Wine and Roses (with the title song, "Days of Wine and Roses"), as well as Experiment in Terror, The Pink Panther (and all of its sequels), The Great Race, The Party, and Victor Victoria. Another director with whom Mancini had a longstanding partnership was Stanley Donen (Charade, Arabesque, Two for the Road). Mancini also composed for Howard Hawks (Man's Favorite Sport?, Hatari! – which included the well-known "Baby Elephant Walk"), Martin Ritt (The Molly Maguires), Vittorio de Sica (Sunflower), Norman Jewison (Gaily, Gaily), Paul Newman (Sometimes a Great Notion, The Glass Menagerie), Stanley Kramer (Oklahoma Crude), George Roy Hill (The Great Waldo Pepper), Arthur Hiller (Silver Streak),[6] Ted Kotcheff (Who Is Killing the Great Chefs of Europe?), and others. Mancini's score for the Alfred Hitchcock film Frenzy (1972) in Bachian organ andante, for organ and an orchestra of strings was rejected and replaced by Ron Goodwin's work.
Mancini scored many TV movies, including The Thorn Birds and The Shadow Box. He wrote many television themes, including Mr. Lucky (starring John Vivyan and Ross Martin),[7] NBC Mystery Movie,[8] What's Happening!!,[9] Tic Tac Dough (1990 version)[10] and Once Is Not Enough. In the 1984–85 television season, four series featured original Mancini themes: Newhart, Hotel, Remington Steele, and Ripley's Believe It or Not. Mancini also composed the "Viewer Mail" theme for Late Night with David Letterman.[8] Mancini composed the theme for NBC Nightly News used beginning in 1975, and a different theme by him, titled Salute to the President was used by NBC News for its election coverage (including primaries and conventions) from 1976 to 1992. Salute to the President was only published in a school-band arrangement, although Mancini performed it frequently with symphony orchestras on his concert tours.
Songs with music by Mancini were staples of the easy listening genre from the 1960s to the 1980s. Some of the artists who have recorded Mancini songs include Andy Williams, Paul Anka, Pat Boone, Anita Bryant, Jack Jones, Frank Sinatra, Perry Como, Connie Francis, Eydie Gorme, Steve Lawrence, Trini Lopez, George Maharis, Johnny Mathis, Jerry Vale, Ray Conniff, The Lennon Sisters, The Lettermen, Herb Alpert, Eddie Cano, Frank Chacksfield, Warren Covington, Percy Faith, Ferrante & Teicher, Horst Jankowski, Andre Kostelanetz, Peter Nero, Liberace, Mantovani, Tony Bennett, Julie London, Wayne Newton, Arthur Fiedler and the Boston Pops Orchestra, Peggy Lee, and Matt Monro. The Anita Kerr Quartet won a Grammy award (1965) for their album "We Dig Mancini", a cover of his songs. Lawrence Welk held Mancini in very high regard, and frequently featured Mancini's music on The Lawrence Welk Show (Mancini made at least one guest appearance on the show).
Mancini recorded over 90 albums, in styles ranging from big band to light classical to pop. Eight of these albums were certified gold by The Recording Industry Association of America. He had a 20-year contract with RCA Records, resulting in 60 commercial record albums that made him a household name among artists of easy-listening music. Mancini's earliest recordings in the 1950s and early 1960s were of the jazz idiom; with the success of Peter Gunn, Mr. Lucky, and Breakfast at Tiffany's, Mancini shifted to primarily recording his own music in record albums and film soundtracks. (Relatively little of his music was written for recordings compared to the amount that was written for film and television.) Beginning with his 1969 hit arrangement of Nino Rota's A Time for Us (as his only Hot 100 top 10 entry, the #1 hit "Love Theme from Romeo and Juliet") and its accompanying album A Warm Shade of Ivory, Mancini began to function more as a piano soloist and easy-listening artist primarily recording music written by other people. In this period, for two of his best-selling albums he was joined by trumpet virtuoso and The Tonight Show bandleader Doc Severinsen.
Among Mancini's orchestral scores are (Lifeforce, The Great Mouse Detective, Sunflower, Tom and Jerry: The Movie, Molly Maguires, The Hawaiians), and darker themes (Experiment in Terror, The White Dawn, Wait Until Dark, The Night Visitor).
Mancini was also a concert performer, conducting over fifty engagements per year, resulting in over 600 symphony performances during his lifetime. He conducted nearly all of the leading symphonies of the world, including the London Symphony Orchestra, the Israel Philharmonic, the Boston Pops, the Los Angeles Philharmonic and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. One of his favorites was the Minnesota Orchestra, where he debuted the Thorn Birds Suite in June 1983. He appeared in 1966, 1980 and 1984 in command performances for the British Royal Family. He also toured several times with Johnny Mathis and also with Andy Williams, who had each sung many of Mancini's songs; Mathis and Mancini collaborated on the 1986 album The Hollywood Musicals.
Shortly before his death in 1994, he made a one-off cameo appearance in the first season of the sitcom series Frasier, as a call-in patient to Dr. Frasier Crane's radio show. Mancini voiced the character Al, who speaks with a melancholy drawl and hates the sound of his own voice, in the episode "Guess Who's Coming to Breakfast?"[11] Moments after Mancini's cameo ends, Frasier's radio broadcast plays "Moon River" to underscore a particularly heartfelt apology.
Mancini also had an uncredited performance as a pianist in the 1967 movie Gunn, the movie version of the series Peter Gunn, the score of which was originally composed by Mancini himself.
In the 1966 Pink Panther cartoon Pink, Plunk, Plink, the panther commandeered an orchestra and proceeded to conduct Mancini's theme for the series. At the end, the shot switched to rare live action, and Mancini was seen alone applauding in the audience.
Death and legacy[edit]
Mancini died of pancreatic cancer in Los Angeles on June 14, 1994. He was working at the time on the Broadway stage version of Victor/Victoria, which he never saw on stage. Mancini was survived by his wife of 43 years, singer Virginia "Ginny" O'Connor, with whom he had three children. They had met while both were members of the Tex Beneke orchestra, just after World War II. In 1948, Mrs. Mancini was one of the founders of the Society of Singers, a non-profit organization which benefits the health and welfare of professional singers worldwide. Additionally the Society awards scholarships to students pursuing an education in the vocal arts. One of Mancini's twin daughters, Monica Mancini, is a professional singer; her sister Felice runs The Mr. Holland's Opus Foundation (MHOF). His son Christopher is a music publisher and promoter in Los Angeles.
In 1996, the Henry Mancini Institute, an academy for young music professionals, was founded by Jack Elliott in Mancini's honor, and was later under the direction of composer-conductor Patrick Williams. By the mid 2000s, however, the institute could not sustain itself and closed its doors on December 30, 2006.[12] However, the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers (ASCAP) Foundation "Henry Mancini Music Scholarship" has been awarded annually since 2001. While still alive, Henry created a scholarship at UCLA and the bulk of his library and works are archived in the music library at UCLA.
In 2005, the Henry Mancini Arts Academy was opened as a division of the Lincoln Park Performing Arts Center. The Center is located in Midland, Pennsylvania, minutes away from Mancini's hometown of Aliquippa. The Henry Mancini Arts Academy is an evening-and-weekend performing arts program for children from pre-K to grade 12, with some classes also available for adults. The program includes dance, voice, musical theater, and instrumental lessons.
The American Film Institute ranked Mancini's songs Moon River in the No. 4 and Days of Wine and Roses in No. 39 on their list of the greatest songs and his score for The Pink Panther No. 20 on their list of the greatest film scores. His scores for Breakfast at Tiffany's (1961), Charade (1963), Hatari! (1962), Touch of Evil (1958) and Wait Until Dark (1967) were also nominated for the list.
Mancini was nominated for an unprecedented 72 Grammys, winning 20.[13] Additionally he was nominated for 18 Academy Awards, winning four.[14] He also won a Golden Globe Award and was nominated for two Emmys.
Mancini won a total of four Oscars for his music in the course of his career. He was first nominated for an Academy Award in 1955 for his original score of The Glenn Miller Story, on which he collaborated with Joseph Gershenson. He lost out to Adolph Deutsch and Saul Chaplin's Seven Brides for Seven Brothers. In 1962, he was nominated in the Best Music, Original Song category for "Bachelor in Paradise" from the film of the same name, in collaboration with lyricist Mack David. That song did not win. However, Mancini did receive two Oscars that year: one in the same category, for the song "Moon River" (shared with lyricist Johnny Mercer), and one for "Best Scoring of a Dramatic or Comedy Picture" for Breakfast at Tiffany's. The following year, he and Mercer took another Best Original Song award for "Days of Wine and Roses",[4] another eponymous theme song. His next eleven nominations went for naught, but he finally garnered one last statuette working with lyricist Leslie Bricusse on the score for Victor Victoria, which won the Academy Award for "Best Original Song Score and Its Adaptation or Best Adaptation Score". All three of the films for which he won were directed by Blake Edwards. His score for Victor/Victoria was adapted for the 1995 Broadway musical of the same name.
On April 13, 2004, the United States Postal Service honored Mancini with a 37 cent commemorative stamp. The stamp shows Mancini conducting with a list of some of his most famous movies and TV show themes in the background and was painted by artist Victor Stabin.[15] The stamp has Scott catalog number 3839.

READ MORE »We've always thought it was kind of nice that Hal Steinbrenner, unlike his brother, Hank, keeps his mouth shut. He doesn't talk himself into a tizzy, he doesn't battle with the press, and he doesn't even bluster when events call for it. But this week, he talked at length with GQ and explained a lot of what he has been thinking in a calm, non-obnoxious way. It's a great interview. "I'm more introverted than extroverted, for sure, but I'm definitely not a recluse," he told staff writer Nate Penn. "I can't speak for Hank, but for me, I had my hands full. I didn't have time to sit down like I am with you. I'm glad I'm doing it now." Here are some of the highlights: • On reports that he "hates" and "avidly disdains" the media: No truth to that. That was Bill Madden [of the Daily News]. Look, first of all, I don't hate anybody. It's a useless emotion. It accomplishes nothing. • On whether he always expected to take over the Yankees: My dad would say, "Someday this is going to be yours. We're counting on you; we're counting on Hank. I'm not going to want to do this forever." I don't know [laughs] if that was true. George was very involved, and he loved it. • On calling his father by his first name: That's purely an office thing. I guess when you're right out of college and working in the office, you don't want to go around saying [puts on little-boy voice], "Well, Daddy said this. Daddy—" Throughout the course of fifteen years, I think it took on a life of its own here, but certainly not at home. [Steinbrenner adds the he doesn't call his dad "George" to his face. "That would be completely disrespectful."] READ MORE »
"Johan Santana. I love him. I think it was a wonderful move for the Mets. I love all this great energy that's happening in New York, with the Giants winning the championship, with the best pitcher going to the Mets, and the Yankees keeping all their great, young, wonderful players. It's going to be a great year."Young players are wonderful, aren't they? Man, and you thought good sportsmanship in baseball was dead.—Jada Yuan READ MORE »
If USAToday.com is to be believed, the Mets, after eating the Yankees' dust all off-season, have just become the National League East favorites — and Omar Minaya has once again become a hero. The general manager who presided over the greatest-September-collapse-ever last season has apparently stolen Johan Santana from the Minnesota Twins and out from under the Yankees and the Red Sox. (You'll recall, Hank Steinbrenner had been full of bluster about a potential Yankee deal for Santana for months, though lately he's been claiming he doesn't care.) Yes, the Mets are trading away four highly rated prospects: outfielder Carlos Gomez and pitchers Phil Humber, Deolis Guerra, and Kevin Mulvey. But odds are that two, at most, will become big-league regulars, let alone stars. Santana, on the other hand, is the best lefty in the bigs, in his prime, and exactly the ace that's missing from the Mets' rotation. Supposedly the only hurdle is a contract extension. Here's betting that the Wilpon family gives Santana everything he wants, up to and including his name on the new ballpark. Heck, the way things are going on Wall Street, he'll be worth more than Citigroup. —Chris Smith Twins agree to deal Santana to Mets for prospects [USAT] Earlier: Hank Steinbrenner Talks Himself, Twins Into a Tizzy READ MORE »
Anyone following the Yankees in the news for the past few months must be tired of hearing from Hank Steinbrenner about the possibility of a trade with the Minnesota Twins for young pitcher Johan Santana. It's been literally weeks and weeks of the same mantra: "I'm in charge!" "We're still open!" "Our offer was the best offer!" Even though way back on December 2, Steinbrenner set a one-week deadline for the Twins to accept his offer, it's been dragging on and on. Since today, just over a month later, papers are reporting Steinbrenner as saying actually "there were no offers on the table," we thought we'd take a little walk down memory lane of all of his bluster: December 3, 2007: "I'm not going to be played against the Red Sox. That's not something I'll do. That's not something the Yankees should ever do, and that's I think what they're trying to do now," Yankees senior vice president Hank Steinbrenner said Sunday. "So if they want the best offer that has been offered to them, then they need to make up their minds." [Boston Globe] READ MORE »

Mixed pre lit wreath
Lights tend to be a bit dim; wish timer could stay on longer--six hours would be ideal
December 26, 2013
Great thickness and bright lights
I bought this for my front porch. It is really thick, much more than others in my neighborhood. The lights are nice and bright too.
December 7, 2013
Great quality and value
These wreaths match the outdoor Christmas garland we purchased from Frontgate over 5 years ago. They are beautiful and we are certain that they will last just as well as the garland, which continues to look full and beautiful with no fading or burned out lights. We have never seen quality of this caliber anywhere else at any price.
January 18, 2013
The Perfect Garland
I am so happy that I purchased the pre-lit classic garland. I had seen it at someone's home last year and decided to purchase it because of the quality and thickness. I can't wait to use it this Christmas.
October 18, 2013
Excellent choice for our facility
Our north woods location was reflected nicely with this particular garland with colored lights and pine cones with full greenery. Great presentation.
November 22, 2013
Great purchase
Makes a wonderful care free decoration for the front entrance
December 28, 2013
Classic Garland
Attached 2 garlands together and found that one did not light up. Discovered that the fuse had blown and was unable to open it to replace the fuse as it had completely melted. We now have to purchase another garland after only 1 season. Very disappointing given the price but also the work that it will entail to remove and replace it.
December 2, 2012
Beautiful wreath
I was really happy with this purchase. I put this wreath on my house and it fits in perfectly. It is very pretty.
December 6, 2013
Very Nice
Lovely item. Fuller than we expected and we expected a lot.
December 24, 2013
Great decoration idea!
I ordered 2 Pre-lit 5 foot swags. They look awesome with my other decorations. It completed my display!!
December 3, 2013
Simply Beautiful
This is the best wreath ever. It is simply beautiful on my door.
December 17, 2013
Disappointing Quality
Last year purchaed two 9' sections of Classic garland. All was fine. This year, one 3' section of one of the garlands will not light. Impossible to find the bad bulb. On decorations purchased from other vendors, one bulb can burn out and the decoration will keep working. Not these!!! Beware!!!
December 9, 2012
The wreath was beautiful--best purchase I made.
December 3, 2013
replaced 3 sections. several lights had burned out. hope these stay lit for many years
November 5, 2013
Lovey window swags!
Appearance is lush and realistic...and on sale, you cannot beat! Even if the lights burn out after one season (problem inherent to all prelighted greenery, even high end purchases) they will still look lovely with just a lighted candle in the window!
December 1, 2012
Classic Wreath
I have two front doors so I ordered two with the clear lights. They looked awesome. They were both the same size and hung beautifully on the doors. I kept the shipping boxes for storage. Can't wait to hang them next Christmas Season..
January 8, 2013
Like other reviewers, I took out the garland for year #2 and the lights do not work. Frontgate typically has great quality with their Christmas decorations - unfortunately these garlands only lasted a season.
December 2, 2012
Completely Satisfied
I purchased a Christmas door wreath w/lights and when it arrived, it was boxed perfectly, no damage of any kind and works perfectly. Completely satisfied w/my purchase, looks lovely on my front door...
December 25, 2012
Classic Wreath-WOW
I purchased this wreath by only seeing it online. Once I received it, I was so impressed with the quality of the product. It really exceeded my expectations!
April 3, 2013
looks great.. but!!!
i just got seven 9ft garlands.. try connecting them to each other.. it only work for 10 mins till the fuse burns.
looks good but definitely annoying issues with lights
November 28, 2012
Nice Wreath
Very full and with lots of branches. Decorations look a little skimpy in person so will add a few more ornamental things to it which will make it beautiful.
February 5, 2013
Rich, lush and beautiful!! Frontgate is always dependable quality and this wreath and its matching garland is no exception. Feel confident in ordering this product.

Do you sell a portable battery pack to plug this wreathe in? We cant open our door if we use an extension cord. Its a big problem!
I notice in your photograph of the wreath hanging on the door you not show any wires at all. Without a wire (extension cord) it cant be plugged in. Please get back to me. Thank you!

The picture on the front double doors show VERY brightly lit classic pre lit wreaths with red velvet ribbon. That does not, however, seem to appear the same when just looking at the picture of the classic pre-it wreath separately. I want the most brightly lit outdoor wreath you offer. Please help. Thanks.

Thank you for your interest in the Classic Pre-lit Wreath. We do list the number of lights on the the dimensions tab of our wreaths. Unfortunately it is not as simple as telling you which one has the most lights, since the bigger the wreath, the more lights it will have. Please call us at 1-800-537-8484 so we can get additional details and assist you in picking the best wreath for you.3 months, 1 week ago
