Here is another before and after of a doll I named Sarah. She is 12" tall made of papier mache with the prettiest blue glass eyes. I removed her wig and gave her head a good wash. I then repainted her with artist acrylics and buffed her to a nice shine. She has a new cloth body stuffed with wool and a replaced hand. Her braided wig and black maryjane style shoes are yet to arrive. She is wearing a wig from another doll as she told me she would not be photographed bald. Dolls can be so finicky!

Todays Project~ Wooden Peg Dolls in a Book
I had these old 6" wooden peg dolls and decided to change them up a bit. I added some paper clay to make little noses and tuck combs, repainted and redressed them in linen and antique lace. They both fit perfectly in a leather keepsake book which I painted gold on the inside to highlight their white gowns. Click on pictures to enlarge.
A Doll Named Laura
I purchased this papier mache shoulder head doll on Ruby Lane from my favorite seller, Joy Smith. She is an artist doll made by Donna Gilbert 26 years ago in 1988. She was in desperate need of a makeover. I painted new eyes and curls and painted over her tea stained mitten style hands then redressed her in a period style gown. I have named her "Laura".

Day 4~ "Amelia" is Finished!
Here are photos of the doll I have been working on, I have named her "Amelia". She is 27" tall and can wear real baby clothes such as the antique slip, christening gown and bonnet pictured. I have modeled her after an 18th century oil painting by Mary Beale. The only hair on her head are her eyebrows as she is a very young baby. I suppose she could be a he named "Arthur" for that matter. I tried to capture the allure of 18th century eyes which are often off set and void of much expression. I hope you can see what I was going for in the photos. Click on photos to enlarge.

Making Progress~Day 3
My Current Projects
I currently have two projects I am working on, a composition doll shoulder head which I showed in my last post. Yesterday I added papier clay over her entire shoulder head and refined some sculpting around the eyes and mouth.
I also finished another project which was to remake a papier mache shoulder head doll. Below are before and after pictures. She has the most beautiful blue glass eyes!

My Latest Project
I recently purchased a large 8" tall composition shoulder head which was in terrible shape with the idea of making a new baby doll using a cloth Babyland Rag doll body (pattern by Dixie Redmond). I have added some paper clay and inset blue eyes so far. I will let it dry overnight and start again in the morning. More pictures as I progress.

Lipstick That Stays! ..But How Do I Take It Off!Reviewing: Cover Girl Outlast Smooth Wear | Rating:
Ladies, I think we've all had it happen...you kiss your man and he's wearing your lipstick! or the annoying/embarrasing lipstick print left on your drinking glass or coffee cup...Even more annoying yet, the smearing, the feathering, and the constant reapplying! Well, this is it! I've found it! The stay put, smear proof, kiss proof, drink proof and ridiculously hard to remove lipstick!
CoverGirl outlast SmoothWear...available in about 27( Satin & luminescent) different shades. It comes in a lipgloss style "tube" with a sponge tip wand applicator, and with a second "tube" of conditioning moisture top coat (that one twists up like a lipstick). This stuff lasts 8 hours and while I have never worn it for more than 8 hours...I'm almost positive it may just stay on longer!
So, you really have to have a steady hand when you are applying this lipstick! It has that wand applicator I mentioned earlier so it is pretty easy to apply. It IS THIN and I mean THIN! However when you first pull the wand out there is a lot of excess product on it! Take some off before you try to apply or you will have a mess! I put this on and the directions say to put on a thin, even coat...and then let dry...yes let DRY...This stuff drys and SETS like paint! If the coat you put on is uneven, it looks uneven when it dries...and even though it's thin, it is NOT lacking any color. Also if you put to much on, then when it dries, it looks cakey. It will look dry once it sets ( it takes less than a minute to set)...this is where the top moisturizing coat comes in. The top coat comes in a slender twist up stick. it has a slanted end for easier application. This goes on smooth and has a creamy feeling, it is not at all sticky.It is clear. This top coat takes the dry/matte look away from the set color coat, it also enhances the color you have applied. Neither one of these has a fragrance as far as I can tell. However the color coat has a very faint taste kind of like the smell of nail polis. This goes away when it drys. The top coat has no smell, and no taste.
oK..so I got it all applied and decided to test it! I mean after applying the top coat...my lips looked glossy...or like I has regular lipstick on. I thought to myself "No way is this stuff gonna stay put!" So I took a sip from my white coffee mug, and looked down at the rim expecting to see Chocolate Satin (thats the color I was wearing) lip prints. There wasn't any...not even a tiny hint of it! I was in shock! I licked my lips, then ran to look in the mirror..still there..I then ran my finger over my bottom lip..still NOTHING! Not even a smudge! No color on my finger either! So I ran up to my husband and kissed him a good one on his cheek...He wasn't wearing it! At this point I was in shock! So I decided to TRY and take the stuff off . This proved to be a challenge. I used a tissue and gave a few good rubs some it came off but there was still alot of color...I rubbed some more, still COLOR...at this point my lips looked stained...I didn't have any make up remover so I used some lotion I had . This did the trick after a few passes. The next time I wore this stuff I was ready! I had make up remover on hand! and it came off easily.
Couple notes about this stuff! If you are wearing this all day (or night)..you will probably have to touch up the top coat after 2-3 hours. or more often if you are eating or drinking alot. JUST THE TOP COAT! I never had to reapply the color coat EVER! This keeps the dry look away!
Ok, I don't wear this very often because I don't go out much but I do like it. If you are looking for a stay put lipstick that really stays put and doesn't look crusty then this a good one for you to try! Just be sure to have make up remover on hand!
I believe these are about 9.99-12.99 in most stores, it comes with both the color and the top coat.
I being the Ebay addict that I am, got mine on Ebay and paid $4.99 for 2...(there's a guy who sells them buy 1 get one free and free shipping)

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - A Canadian memorabilia dealer who worked with Michael Jackson's mother on a tribute book and ran a website using the singer's image and music reached a $2.5 million copyright settlement on Tuesday with Jackson's estate.
Howard Mann, who used michaeljacksonsecretvault.com, MJgives.com and similar domain names to sell Jackson's music and other memorabilia, was also barred from using the "Thriller" singer's image without the permission of his estate.
The two sides announced the settlement in Los Angeles federal court hours before a trial was due to start to determine how much Mann owes the estate.
He was found liable for infringing the dead singer's intellectual property in a court ruling in August. The websites were also ordered shut down.
The estate holds the copyright to Jackson's image and music for the benefit of the singer's mother Katherine and his three children.
Howard Weitzman and Zia Modabber, the attorney's for Jackson's estate, said in a statement that the "settlement seems appropriate for all concerned".
Mann's attorneys could not be reached for comment.
The executors of Jackson's estate filed the case against Mann in January 2011, 18 months after the "Thriller" singer's sudden death in Los Angeles from an overdose of the surgical anesthetic propofol.
Mann worked with Katherine Jackson on several projects, including a 2010 "Never Can Say Goodbye" coffee table book featuring recollections of her son, and a DVD and calendar featuring what were described as never before seen photos and videos.
All were sold through the "secretvault" website. Mann claimed he obtained the rights to the material at a bankruptcy sale involving members of Jackson's family several years ago.
He also used copyright-protected clips of Jackson's song "Destiny", a logo featuring the self-styled "King of Pop" and art from the posthumous concert movie "This Is It" on his websites.

CRANBURY—It's a sleepy Saturday morning on a Middlesex Main Street. Families, people with dogs, and joggers can be seen from time to time. Cranbury Pizza, Gil & Bert's, and Cranbury Bagel Barn make a culinary triad within today's larger Tri-town Bagel Triad.
You enter, and it's deli-style; no seating. To compensate, there are two tables outside the front of the shop. Friendly staff, especially our cashier that morning, give the Main Street shop a hometown feel, albeit a much smaller town than Hamilton/Robbinsville, where Bagels n Cream resides. Plastic bags for bagels? A little weird, but it will do for the short term. Plastic-bag flavor may be possible in the case of long-term storage.
THE BAGELS are good. There's a reason this was a stop on the Tri-town Bagel Triad. Being that it was our third stop of the morning, the prospect of downing an entire pumpernickel was slightly unpalatable, even for a seasoned bagel veteran. But we had to go forward for you, the bagelreader(s) of NJ.
WE BAGELRATED a multigrain and a pumpernickel, both plain.

Published By: Pan Macmillan
Released: Available Now
Details: Paperback from library, 311 Pages
Blurb: Goodreads
Stephanie Plum, Trenton, New Jersey's favorite pistol-packing, condom-carrying bounty hunter, is back - and on the trail of a revenge-seeking waitress who's skipped bail. With the help of 73-year-old Grandma Mazur, ex-hooker Lula, a transvestite musician named Sally Sweet, and the all-too-hospitable, all-too-sexy Joe Morelli, Stephanie might just catch her woman. Then again, with more mishaps than there are exits on the Jersey Turnpike - including murders, firebombs, and Stephanie's arch-rival bounty hunter chasing after the same fugitive - Stephanie better watch her back big-time if she wants to live to crack this case.
Shenanigans abound.
Morelli vs Plum slides into some home runs.
Ranger just tickles my lady boner.
Sally Sweet is the new addition…rocker-transvestite.
Lula is… H.I.L.A.R.I.O.U.S.
Put Lula, Grandma Mazur, Sally and Steph on a short road trip to Atlanta and shit will go sideways…inevitable.
Throw in a biaatch from the past and you have another Stephanie Plum installment…well, also a few missing body parts and a murder and cars going KABOOM.
Janet has a way with describing her characters.
If people were cars, Lula would be a big, black '53 Packard with a high-gloss chrome grill, oversized headlights, and a growl like a junkyard dog. Lots of muscle. Never fit in a compact place.
Ranger was waiting under the canopy. He was dressed in a black T-shirt and black assault pants tucked into black boots. He had a body like Schwarzenegger, dark hair slicked back off his face and a two-hundred-watt smile. He was drop-dead sexy, he was as sane as Batman, and he was a primo bounty hunter.
He was dressed in tight black leather pants held together at the sides with leather lacing that left a strip of pale white flesh from ankle to waist, and a black leather vest that molded around cone-shaped , eat-your-heart-out-Madonna breasts. He was close to seven feet tall in his black platform pumps. He had a large hook nose, red roses tattooed on his biceps and – thank you, Lord – he didn't had a tongue stud. He was wearing a blond Farrah Fawcett wig, fake eyelashes and glossy maroon lipstick. His nails had been painted to match his lips.
Then put Lula and Sally together and the discussions on female attire and cosmetics.
He was wearing leather sandals, cut-offs that were so short he had a cheek showing, a sleeveless T-shirt top and a two-day beard.
"Not sure you totally got the hang of this woman stuff," Lula said. "Think maybe you'd do better shaving your ass than worrying about lip gloss."
"Jesus," Sally said, "who do you think I am, Thunder the Wonder Horse? My gun wouldn't fit in my purse."
"You need to get a smaller gun," Lula said. "Ruins your lines with that big Glock in your drawers."
And because Debbie Reynolds passed away yesterday, and after seeing her as Grandma Mazur in the One For The Money movie, which I watched again yesterday, here is a quote.
"Pot roast," Lula said. "Boy, I like pot roast." She pulled a chair up and shook out her napkin.
"I always wanted to eat with a Negro," Grandma said.
"Yeah, well, I always wanted to eat with a boney-assed old white woman," Lula said. "So I guess this works out good."
Grandma and Lula did some complicated handshake thing.
"Bitchin'," Grandma said.
Another fun beach read that has me coming back for more.
R.I.P Debbie and Carrie.

About the event:
What: William Nottingham High School Wall of Fame Celebration
When: 5 to 9 p.m. Oct. 15.
Where: Drumlins, Nottingham Road, Syracuse.
Cost: Tickets: $50 per person, RSVP by Friday. Make checks to Nottingham PTSO. Mail to Nottingham High School Wall of Fame, 3100 E. Genesee St., Syracuse 13224.
The 2011 honorees:
William Lundigan, late film and television actor, Class of '31.
Tracy Sugarman, illustrator and author, '39
Dr. Carl Austin, Syracuse physician, '41
Patrick McCarthy, businessman and community leader, '44
Dr. Robert Suskind, pediatrician and researcher, '55
Keith Moody, former Syracuse University and Buffalo Bills football player and high school principal, '71
Lt. Col. Diane Green Pope, Army nurse, '75
Andy Italiano, award-winning sports cameraman, '83.
Patrick McCarthy, of Oneida, originally comes from Solvay, but he is being honored by his Syracuse alma mater next month when he joins eight other graduates on the William Nottingham High School Alumni Wall of Fame.
"Nottingham was the best thing that happened to me," the 1944 graduate said. "It was a great experience, a great education."
The wall of fame dinner is the major fundraiser for the school's Parent Teacher Student Organization, which supports students at the school, said the group's co-president, Molly Voorheis.
It's also an inspiration for the school's diverse student body, she said.
"We're really proud of the mix of students here, some whose grandparents went to Nottingham, and others who only arrived in this country in July. The wall says, 'Look what you are part of,'" she said.
After graduating from Syracuse University, McCarthy, 85, owned McCarthy Chevrolet in Oneida from New Year's Day 1966 until his retirement in 1999, the year after his hip replacement surgery.
Since then he has been a fixture at state and national Senior Games, winning horseshoe medals on his own and taking doubles tennis and badminton titles with his wife, Patricia, also 85.
Between them, they have more than 150 Senior Games medals in a trophy room that also displays personal letters and autographed photos from Syracuse University football coaches and players that Pat McCarthy has supported for 80 years.
He's as proud of his wife as he is of his own accomplishments.
"When I met her, she was the most dominating speed skater in the Syracuse area, a pioneer," he said.
The McCarthys also were the first Oneida couple to be awarded the Rotary Roses for the Living Award for their community service.
Patricia Donegan McCarthy is in the Syracuse Sports Hall of Fame and nominated her husband for the Nottingham honor.
McCarthy said he has worked for his community on many levels, whether chairing the Oneida Bicentennial Committee or helping start the Oneida Pop Warner program.
And he never forgot his Syracuse-area roots: He has attended SU football games since 1931 and has been a generous booster for the program since his graduation.
McCarthy said attending Nottingham High School actually was his father's choice.
"In 1941, I was supposed to go to CBA (Christian Brothers Academy)," he recalled. But on the way to CBA, he said, "My father stopped the car in Clinton Square, lit up a cigar, and said 'You're going to Nottingham,'" McCarthy said, "I didn't even know how to spell it, but he said, 'It's an elite school and the graduates have become very successful. Maybe some of that will rub off on you.'"
Not that the McCarthys had anything against CBA: McCarthy said his brother, Dennis, is a proud graduate of the school and once made a touchdown-saving tackle of his bigger brother, Pat, in a CBA-Nottingham football game.
McCarthy played baseball, soccer and football at Nottingham, establishing a sports ethic that served him all his life.
Patrick and Patricia McCarthy said they passed on the sports gene to their three daughters, Mary Lynn Denby, Caren Mazzullo and Shannon Dixon, who all live within 10 minutes of their parents, and to their seven grandchildren and five great-grandchildren.

We are prisoners on this earth, as we all have same belief with extraordinary mindset "we" or "I" doesn't belong here. Then where should we belong, what is that which attracts to move where we belong, but sorry no one knows the mystery behind and in which direction need to move.
If you were belong to this place (earth) you should never be ill and never be a part of chronic disease which is cause by feelings, environment & food, why entire mankind is surviving not existing, so do you think you are in prison and not free from all.
That's the main reason all our Guru's, Saints, Mahatmas, and Parents, lead us to direction for Moksha – [Nirvana] so still the question is same where does we the (I) belong, where does the place belongs in space and who will guide us to reach that place, just one thing to analyze this we need to in past where there is space where our "karma" stays. what we condemned till now and on which basis our imprisonment is hear. isn't it that memory is been easily erased, or try to follow the rules of prison and behave better.
In some religious ceremony, all dharma gurus, or god people spread the word of "Seva" help others, if you decode that a simple meaning- you can judge yourself how much years of prison you get, and also where you stand on the map to move in which direction.
Let express the freedom!

I want to share some thoughts with you today on Character.
What does a person of good character look like? They have integrity, honesty, kindness, generosity, and moral courage.
Sometimes, people who LACK character will tell you things that are truthful because they actually want to hurt you! A person of good character may not always say the things you want to hear, either. But they will be honest and tell you the truth in LOVE because they actually care about you. Really listen to what people are saying to you and the motives behind it.
Think about the people in your life. Think about the people you surround yourself with - friends, acquaintances, leadership. Think about how, overall, they care for you - or don't.
Pray for them. Pray that they would continue (or start) down the road of good character.
Pray for yourself. Pray that your insecurities and sensitivities from the past would get out of the way and enable you to see who has true character and who does not. Listen to those with good character and stick close to them - you will be surprised at how much you learn! It will be evident to you that a person of good character wants you to succeed in life and your personal development.
Most of all, you will find out Who people of good character follow. Who do they strive to be like? Who do they try to imitate? Take a look at Who THAT person is and you will find out how to recognize (and have) good character, too.
"And you should imitate me, just as I imitate Christ." 1 Corinthians 11:1
"A disciple is not above his teacher, but everyone when he is fully trained will be like his teacher." Luke 6:40
"…Jesus called them together and said, "You know that the rulers in this world lord it over their people, and officials flaunt their authority over those under them. But among you it will be different. Whoever wants to be a leader among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first among you must become your slave. For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve others and to give his life as a ransom for many." Matthew 20:25-28
"Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new." 2 Corinthians 5:17

Before heading to Disneyland with the family, my cousin and I hit up the Salvation Army by her house in Mission Viejo. It became a routine to do whenever I am up there. That day "seamed right" because I thrifted an authentic Classic Disney Pluto shirt. The store had their random 50% off sale and the shirt only cost me $1. We seem to have developed a 6th sense for knowing the days that they having these deals. (haha)
The new Cars Land had opened up, and I had never been to the new attraction. I heard about their classic cars and diner area. I am a big fan of the 50's era. With my thrifted Disney shirt, I decided to channel my inner James Dean for my first experience at the revamped California Adventure. I tucked my shirt inside my acid washed Levi's that was held up by a belt, threw on some black wayfarers, and rolled up my pants over my sneakers. Boomtown!

What is BT Business Super?
BT Business Super is a product ideally designed for small to medium-sized businesses and funds which have at least two permanent employees or total contributions of at least $2,500 every year. It was introduced in 1992 and presently manages $1.7 billion in assets on behalf of 260,000 investors. It is owned by one of Australia's leading financial groups, the Westpac Group.
BT Business Super gives you balanced flexibility by offering a wide range of options across all major investment strategies and asset classes, and at the same time, giving you a lot of options of which fund manager to choose from.
Edit your details
Did you submit incorrect details? Not to worry, you can edit them below.
It also has a wide range of comprehensive insurance options which covers death, total disability, and income protection which are competitively priced for members. It also has fee discounts that cut in at amazingly low levels for a master trust.
The BT Business Super has features such as 34 investment options, cost-effective insurance, extensive online functionality for employers and employees, flexible employer plan design and options for spouses to have accounts and life insurance.
Seasoned investors know that investing wisely means diversifying your investments. Diversification not only lets you earn from different avenues, but is the best way to protect your assets and investments. By mixing low-risk investment with high-risk investment, you provide balance to your finances.
BT Business Super understands this principle so it provides a wide range of investment options – around 30 – which you can choose from according to your needs, goals, and the tolerance for risk. These options are divided into categories – from stable to high risk.
Wide range of investment options with BT Super
- Stable Option: is ideal for someone who is not keen on taking risks and wants to have access to their funds in the near future. These kinds of investments focus more on the preservation of the capital rather than the high return. These investments provide a steady stream of income and little or no change in value. They usually give a lower long-term return than other investment options in exchange for stability and security. A stable investment is usually invested in cash, such as money market funds or interest income.
- Conservative Option: is an investment option which gives a level of growth but focuses more on protecting your super or your capital. This type invests more in shares and property with the majority in fixed interests and cash. It aims to lessen the risk of loss; thus, accepting a lower return over the long term.
- Moderate Option: is a mixture of different asset classes which provides good long-term returns without major setbacks. This option focuses more on bonds and domestic shares, such as Australian and international bonds and debt securities.
- Dynamic Option: is for someone who is ready to take the risks to have a potentially higher income earning over the long-term. Those who are in to this type of option understand the volatility of such investments and are ready to face the possibility of negative returns. This option focuses investments in a diversified portfolio which includes Australian, international shares and property. This is ideal for those who have a five-year long term investment time frame and are looking to build their wealth overtime.
- Aggressive Option: is ideal for great risk takers who are also looking for greater returns. An aggressive investment combines features of various asset classes with the majority in domestic shares and some exposure on international shares and bonds.
Flexible contribution options
Aside from the wide range of investment options for your super funds, BT Business Super also provides various ways for you to make your contributions. Being in the know about contribution options will save you a lot in tax deductions and gain more profit than just by setting your super fund in default mode.
- Salary Sacrifice: In most cases co-contribute 9% of your salary to superannuation. If you want to boost your super in order to get a higher amount later, you should consider salary sacrifice. This means that you can contribute 6% more of your after-tax income to make the total to 15%.
- Spouse Contribution: It is an after-tax payment which can be invested into a complying super fund under your spouse's name. It can be made before your spouse turns 65 regardless whether or not they are working. Spouse contribution can give you a $540 full tax rebate every year if your spouse contribution amounts to $3,000
- Government Co-Contribution: It is the Government's scheme to help eligible individuals boost their super funds. This will especially be ideal for low and middle income earners as the Government match up to $1,000 of your personal super contributions.
Purchasing insurance through your Super
Buying your insurance through BT Business Super allows you to pay your insurance with pre-tax dollars. These tax concessions make it cheaper to insure through your super with a higher level of cover. The types of insurance you can purchase through the BT Business Super are:
- Death Only
- Death and Total Permanent Disablement (TPD)
- Death and TPD and Salary Continuance Insurance
BT Business Super Benefits
Aside from the flexible investment and contribution options and the cover you can get from BT Business Super, there are other benefits you can enjoy.
Number one on the list is the fact that the financial products which you will purchase are provided by Westpac, one of Australia's leading financial groups. Second, you can also access their Travel and health Insurance. Lastly are the travel packages, leisure and adventure experiences, and gifts from premium shopping malls.
With BT Business Super, you don't have to wait for your retirement to enjoy life. It lets you enjoy life now. Just as they say, there's only one life to live, and you have to live it well.

"It doesn't clank," he said of the steering wheel." (YouTube) (Newser) – Volkswagen's CEO is out as the company reels from its emissions-cheating scandal. Martin Winterkorn announced the decision today, reports CNBC, and no successor has been named yet. The move comes as class-action lawsuits have begun popping up around the country by angry buyers of the company's diesel vehicles, reports ABC News. Meanwhile, a post at Mother Jones considers the possibility of criminal charges against Winterkorn and other VW execs, given the potential threat to public health over the dirty engines. It was becoming increasingly difficult to see how Winterkorn could stay on and distance himself from the mess. In a profile, the New York Times relays this anecdote that speaks to his hands-on approach: While attending a car show in 2011, he checked out a Hyundai and fiddled with its adjustable steering wheel. "It doesn't clank," he told a VW colleague. "BMW can't do it. We can't do it. They can." The moment, captured in a YouTube video that now has nearly 2 million views, cemented his reputation as a CEO who pays attention to the smallest of details about his company's vehicles.

Hello and thanks for reading my very first post on my very first blog. In the words of someone who used to be famous: "Who am I? What am I doing here?" Well… I think that's what this blog will ultimately be about. So, without further… (you know…)
Just a bit of background… I'm a forty-something, married mother of two living in a development referred to by the locals as "Wellington" — hence the name of the blog. I was inspired by Alistair Cooke's series on the BBC Radio called "Letter from America". I spent some time living in London when I was in college and I loved listening to this program, or should that be "programme"? I love a lot of English things — too many to list here, but I'm sure they will come up from time to time.
I decided to start this blog for two reasons — the first is that I wanted some experience with blogging tools. I've been working in web-related activities ever since the web was invented (by Tim Berners-Lee, not Al Gore), but I never worked with blogging tools, so I want to give that a try.
The second reason is that I, like so many other bloggers, am a frustrated writer. I love to write, but I don't really know what to do about it. I thought about journaling, but it seemed too much like singing in the shower. If I keep all my writings to myself, then no one will ever appreciate them, learn from me, agree with me, or even argue with me.
So, with that, I will close this post. Here's hoping that someone out will stumble upon this and engage with me.

The layoff of 50 workers -- about 5 percent of the company's work force -- ranged from management to clerical staff. Officials said Mary Kay's sales have been dropping since 1980, slowing to $277 million last year from $323 million in 1983. Stockholders are to vote this month on a buy-out that would take the company private.

Captain Toland Gives Memorial Day Address
Loudoun Times-Mirror article covering the Memorial Day ceremony:
Captain Toland Gives Memorial Day Address
33rd Sterling Veterans' Memorial Day Ceremony
Memorial Day Monday, May 25 2009
American Legion Post 150
Sterling Veterans' Memorial
Sterling, Virginia
American Legion Post 150 held its 33rd Veterans' Day Memorial Ceremony at the Sterling Veterans' Memorial site on Sterling Boulevard on a warm and slightly overcast Monday, May 25 at 11 AM. Approximately 150 Sterling residents were in attendance.
Commander Kuo Welcomes Sterling Community - photo Joe Ellis
Keynote Address by Captain Jonathan Toland:
"I want to thank Supervisor Eugene Delgaudio, Commander Ann Kuo and the ladies and gentlemen of American Legion Post 150, the scouts from troop 956 and everyone for coming out today. I must admit that throughout my time in the National Guard, the meaning of my service isn't something that crosses my mind every day. Being a soldier has become as much a part of who I am as the fact that I like chocolate ice cream or that I enjoy doing home improvement projects. Despite the increasing demands on my time and family and the difficulty balancing a civilian career and a "part-time" military career, I've been surrounded by great soldiers and had some pretty neat experiences.
Having spent my entire military career in the National Guard, it has given me a unique perspective on the term "Citizen Soldier." I'm not completely a fan of that term, because all soldiers, active and reserve, are citizens, but it does call out the fact that soldiers who have chosen to serve in the National Guard and Reserves face additional challenges. And as my fiancé will attest to, it's much more accurate than other terms such as "part-time soldier." Whether it's spending countless hours between drills dealing with e-mails and planning for training events, taking time from work to attend the same courses that active duty soldiers attend, or getting called to active duty early to prepare for a lengthy deployment, our service impacts family, friends, employers and our communities. Our families are hit especially hard because they don't have the benefit of the natural support structure that you would find at a military base. When soldiers come from a 100 mile radius to attend a drill, it's not easy for Family Support Groups to meet regularly to provide help to one another. But what we've found is that our employers and communities go to great lengths to help make up for these shortcomings. Whether it's a boss that doesn't blink when his employee tells him he's deploying to Afghanistan after just one week on the job, or a Boy Scout troop that puts together care packages for soldiers in Iraq that they've never met, we may never be able to fully communicate how greatly we appreciate your support.
Now I'm lucky enough to be speaking to a crowd that is filled with people who understand better than most the difficulties of military service, so what I am about to say shouldn't be any surprise. A career in the military has rarely been the most attractive choice; it's long hours, in less that desirable locations, with not the greatest pay. Multiple deployments result in hidden costs for soldiers and family members. Even National Guardsmen had to long ago stop using the old phrase "one weekend a month, two weeks a year." If you were to ask me, "Why did you choose to serve?" It boils down to a simple love for my country and its citizens. But it's more complicated than that, as any of the veterans here will tell you. I guess growing up in a military family, with a father who spent 17 years in the Air Force, primed me for military service. The lure of adventure, a chance to challenge myself and little bit of money to help pay for college didn't hurt either. But it's also that despite the challenges, I proudly serve with people who represent the best and brightest that our country has to offer. Whether they signed up for a four year stint to help pay for college, or they served in a career that spanned three decades, current and former service members go on to be some of the greatest contributors to our society. No matter how much the world changes, the military continues to turn out citizens who understand the true meanings of leadership, self-less service, teamwork and commitment to something greater than oneself.
We are very fortunate to live in a country where our freedom and security are guaranteed by a military that represents less than 1% of our population and costs us around 5% of our total economy. Military service isn't for everyone, but with fewer than 25 million veterans alive today and a war that is nearing 8 years in duration, there is a burden on those who have answered other callings to do their part to ensure that those who serve in uniform are never forgotten.
In closing, we are here today in remembrance of those who have paid the ultimate sacrifice in service of their country. It's all too easy to treat Memorial Day as the first 3-day weekend of the summer vacation season, a great day to fire up the grill, or a long awaited day at the beach, all things I have been guilty of in the past. But the simple act of your being here, taking time to attend this service, shows that this day is about more, and for this you have my gratitude. There have been 464 members of the Army National Guard who have lost their lives in Iraq and Afghanistan. As always, the numbers mean far less than the names and faces behind them, so I want to call special attention to the "Citizen Soldiers" of Virginia [who have lost their lives fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan]:
SGT Bobby Beasley, SSG Craig Cherry, PFC Kyle Hemauer, SGT Jesse Ault, SPC Derek Banks, SSG Daryl Booker, COL Paul Kelly, SGT David Lambert, SGT Nicholas Mason, and SGT David Ruhren."

Protecting children from porn called 'daily war'NASHVILLE (BP) -- Churches and parents must model and emphasize a godly respect for human sexuality to protect children from the pervasive and savvy culture of pornography, speakers in a religious webinar addressing the subject said Tuesday (Nov. 7.)
No longer adequate are the internet filters parents have relied on to prevent exposure to pornography, said Dean Inserra, lead pastor of City Church, a Southern Baptist congregation in Tallahassee, Fla. He was the main speaker in the webinar hosted by the interfaith Religious Alliance Against Pornography (RAAP). Read More
Pakistani death sentences show blasphemy laws' threatWASHINGTON (BP) -- The October death sentences for three Pakistani men demonstrate the threat of blasphemy laws in many countries to the life and liberty of Christians and other religious minorities.
The judgments for the Pakistanis -- all members of the Ahmadi Muslim sect -- came two months after the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF) issued a report that showed more than one-third of the world's countries have blasphemy laws. Most of the blasphemy laws in those 71 countries not only transgress international human rights standards but fail to fully protect freedom of expression and impose unduly severe punishments on violators, according to the report.

Calif. pro-life centers win fight against abortion lawLOS ANGELIS, Calif. (BP) -- Pro-life pregnancy care centers in Los Angeles will not be forced to promote abortion after a state trial judge last week halted enforcement of California's Reproductive Freedom, Accountability, Comprehensive Care, and Transparency (FACT) Act.
Riverside County Superior Court Judge Gloria Trask issued a permanent injunction against the 2015 law that required pregnancy care centers to post signs or distribute literature telling women the state offers free or low-cost contraception and abortions. The law also required pro-life centers to give women a local abortion provider's phone number. Read More
SWBTS cuts staff due to health care, utility costsFORT WORTH, Texas (BP) -- Escalating health care costs, increased expenses for utilities and other higher education costs have prompted personnel cuts at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in Fort Worth, Texas.
Initial adjustments to operations were not sufficient to stay within the $36.8 million 2017-2018 fiscal year budget set by the seminary's trustees last spring, according to a Nov. 7 news release by Charles Patrick Jr., vice president for strategic initiatives and communications. Read More
Wyoming Baptists adopt new convention nameCASPER, Wyo. (BP) -- The new name of the Wyoming Southern Baptist Convention is Wyoming Southern Baptist Mission Network, messengers decided during their 34th annual meeting on Nov. 2-3.
Wyoming Baptists also approved selling the property on Casper Mountain Road that it has owned for 23 years, a budget $110,000 smaller than last year's budget, changing the name of its state missions offering, and a re-working of responsibilities for state convention vocational staff. Read More
N.C. Baptists pray for revival, celebrate record CP supportGREENSBORO, N.C. (BP) -- Messengers from churches across North Carolina huddled in small clusters for an extended prayer service emphasizing revival and spiritual awakening to climax the Baptist State Convention (BSC) of North Carolina's annual meeting Nov. 6-7 at the Koury Convention Center in Greensboro, N.C.
Messengers also approved a record 2018 budget, passed a resolution denouncing racism, and affirmed another on human sexuality and marriage. Read More

DR Congo offers help to Haitians - Senegal offers free land to any Haitians who want to "return" to Africa
"The president is offering voluntary repatriation to any Haitian that wants to return to their origin," said Mr Wade's spokesman, Mamadou Bemba Ndiaye.
Responding to the Senegalese offer, Mr Mende said the government would certainly not reject any Haitians if they wanted to move to DR Congo.
SOURCE: BBC News online at 17:39 GMT UK, Monday, 18 January 2010 - Poor DR Congo offers aid to Haiti. Here is a copy, in full:
The Democratic Republic of Congo has announced it is sending $2.5m (£1.5m) in emergency aid to Haiti, to help it cope with last week's earthquake.I hope the whole world helps Haiti. See comments online at BBC's Have Your Say: Should Africa help Haiti? Here is a copy of some heartwarming comments posted:
Some Congolese have criticised the offer. After years of conflict, which is still raging in the east, millions of people live in poverty.
The country depends on foreign aid and civil servants frequently go unpaid.
But Information Minister Lambert Mende told the BBC that DR Congo would contribute within its means.
"Congo isn't bankrupt, our own problems shouldn't prevent us from helping a brother country," he said.
But political scientist Ntanda Nkere from the University of Kinshasa told the BBC:
"It's a contradiction to see a country which is facing serious financial problems giving away $2.5m but at the same time, it's a purely diplomatic reaction, the Congolese government wants to appear like any other government."
On Sunday, Senegal's President Abdoulaye Wade said he was offering free land to any Haitians who wanted to "return" to Africa.
Most of Haiti's population are descended from slaves.
"The president is offering voluntary repatriation to any Haitian that wants to return to their origin," said Mr Wade's spokesman, Mamadou Bemba Ndiaye.
Responding to the Senegalese offer, Mr Mende said the government would certainly not reject any Haitians if they wanted to move to DR Congo.
The earthquake killed tens of thousands in Haiti, with many bodies still stuck in the remains of buildings.
Aid is slowly arriving but aid workers are struggling to distribute it to all those who need it.
Monday, 18 January, 2010, 18:49 GMT 18:49 UK
First I would like to thank you to African leaders that tried to help our brothers and sister in Haiti. This is a time we have to show the world that we are able to help our with a lettle that we have. I will say long live to our African leaders. Haitian people were our people before the end in that island. This is time for them to come. Second, I thank world leaders that put their hands to help Haiti. Specaily, United States leaders. Haitian history is our everyone that why they are in Haiti.

Please everyone come together and help them.

The Senegal president's offer is a good one. Haitians should explore living in Africa especially if conditions in their state are, relatively, not as favourable. There is good abundant farmland and opportunity for those with skills to live better in Africa. Infact, i would propose Haitians obtain African citizenship and join the African Union

The film also explains how plant-based eating is directly linked to African roots and how African-American eating habits have been debased by a chain of oppression stemming from slavery, economics and modern agribusiness. Not to sound pedestrian, but the sky is the limit and her evolution will be televised!

In 2008 Keith hosted his own radio show (the Keith Tucker Show) and subsequently embarked on a documentary film project entitled "Pursuit of a Green Planet" where he learned to live his life as a vegan. On his first research trip he visited the Seattle Vegfest and tasted vegan food for the first time.

Love! Laugh! Panic! Life with My Mother
Rosemary Mild
Magic Island Literary Works (2013)
Reviewed by Christine Watson for Reader Views (10/14)
"Love! Laugh! Panic!" by Rosemary Mild recaptures the childhood and young adulthood of Rosemary in her own words. This book is filled with her own stories of laughter, anger, embarrassment, sadness, joy and fear. Ms. Mild captures it all in this short memoir, and uses honesty and humor to share her memories.
There are several stories in this book that most daughters can relate to in some way or another. I believe that most mothers want the best for their daughters, and the means to make that happen is sometimes right on. Other times, couldn't be further from what is "best" for their daughters. This rings true in "Love! Laugh! Panic!" There were times throughout the book, I found myself thinking, "Poor Rosemary". An example is when Ms. Mild struggled with her weight at a young age, and her mother did all the wrong things to "help" her with her weight. It was also evident that Rosemary's mother loved her very much. She seemed to be a good example of a strong, independent woman with a good career, which has helped Ms. Mild in her life.
One theme throughout the book that I could definitely relate to is Rosemary's mother's need to keep up appearances and maintain a certain stature and image. It seemed as though Rosemary wasn't often allowed to just be herself, but had to conform to the high class traditions of the time, at least from the perspective of her mother. While I never was forced to try to fit in with the upper class, wearing makeup and dressing up was more of my mother's thing than mine. I'm just glad I didn't have to attend any debutant balls. I know I would have felt lost. Ms. Mild took it in stride and her father seemed to have a good sense of humor about it all.
"Love! Laugh! Panic!" by Rosemary Mild was a fun book to read and I enjoyed the various stories about Ms. Mild's family members. It's nice to read about the hidden issues of other families because it helps us all realize that none of us have a perfect life or family. I appreciated reading the good stories as well as the ones that help with growth. I recommend this book to anyone looking for a quick read that allows you to laugh, cry, and cringe.

Mark Steyn on AIG Freddie's Congressional nightmare on Elm Street
HH: We begin this Thursday as we do those Thursdays when we are lucky with Columnist To the World, Mark Steyn. You can read all of Mark's material at www.steynonline.com. Mark, as a self-confessed demographics bore, I'm sure you read the USA Today story yesterday that American births hit their highest level ever this year in 2007. What did you make of that?
MS: Yeah, well I'm pleased to hear it, because I think what matters in any society is human capital. And I think the wish to maintain generational solidarity is actually part of the survival instinct for societies. My enthusiasm for the birthrate is modified to some degree by the fact that those kids and grandkids as yet unborn are going to be stuck with a hell of a tab for the mess this administration is getting us into. So in a sense, I think the generation being born right now are going to, if things carry on in the present way, are going to be living in smaller homes and driving smaller cars, if not in basement flats and getting on the bus every morning. But I would hope that by the time they reach majority, things will be a little better for them.
HH: They are in essence our credit card, and we are spending freely on the limit that they've given us.
MS: Well, there are no limits. You know, it's basically, we look on our children and grandchildren as a credit card without limit, and we all come pre-approved. That's the essence of it, and I think that's disgusting, and I think it's disgraceful. I think these unprecedented levels of deficit unseen, depending on how you calculate it, unseen since either World War II or the Civil War, are a moral outrage. And if people had any sense, they'd be far more annoyed about that than the comparative nickel and dime bonuses of some no-name vice president at AIG.
HH: Today, it's come to our attention that Barack Obama's teleprompter has a blog and a Twitter feed. Now given the fact that ten years ago no one would have recognized the name of the candidate, much less blog or Twitter feed, it maybe overstating it somewhat, but the mockery is becoming rather intense, Mark Steyn.
MS: Yes, I gave a speech the other day, and I got up and went to the stage and the podium was all in darkness, so I couldn't actually see my speech. And I said to the crowd, boy, I feel like the President without his teleprompter. And they all fell around laughing, and I did, so I did like ten minutes of, you know, President Barack Oprompter shtick, and the crowd loved it.
HH: (laughing)
MS: It's become the joke that everybody gets about him. And I think this is in danger of making him look like a rather sad and pitiful fellow. I mean, I basically was dusting off, I once heard Frank Sinatra do jokes about Bob Hopes dependence on cue cards. And I basically just repeated all these, told these 20 old Bob Hope cue card jokes as Obama teleprompter jokes.
HH: (laughing)
MS: You know, does he wake up in the morning and the teleprompter's behind Michelle's head, and he's going Good Morning, Darling. Did you sleep well? And it's become, you know, it's not good for him, that it's become so instantly the Obama joke.
HH: Well, here's what happens when he goes off prompter. Today, in Costa Mesa, he's talking about AIG, cut number one:
BHO: Even though it makes you angry because you're thinking I was responsible, and these folks are irresponsible, and somehow I'm paying for them, it was the right thing to do to step in. The same is true with AIG. It was the right thing to do to step in. Here is the problem. It's almost like they've got, they've got a bomb strapped to them and they've got their hand on the trigger. You don't want them to blow up, but you've got to kind of talk them, ease that finger off the trigger.
MS: (laughing)
BHO: We've got to, over the next several months…
MS: (laughing)
BH: …come up with a plan that separates out the bad assets, the loans that shouldn't have been made, these credit default swaps, et cetera. We've got to separate out some of those from the good assets, because there are a lot of very healthy banks, the vast majority of banks are healthy…
MS: (laughing)
HH: Mark Steyn?
MS: Well, I see now there was a reason why he's decided he's not calling people at Gitmo enemy combatants.
HH: (laughing) He'd call them bankers.
MS: He obviously wants to reserve that for bankers and chief executives, and that's presumably why he's decided to keep on with the George W. Bush rendition procedures. You know, basically I guess if these AIG suicide bombers, as he sees them, are all going to find themselves shanghaied to some jail in Sudan or Saudi Arabia, and have the electrodes clamped to them. I mean, this guy is…I thought that was a teleprompter mistake. I thought the teleprompter was like messing with his head…
HH: Oh no…(laughing)
MS: And they put in his terrorism speech.
HH: Okay, now he's also got trouble today, because he was going to be super cool and do the NCAA basketball bracket. And then Coach K of Duke comes out and here's what Coach K has to say, cut number two:
MK: Somebody said that we're not in President Obama's final four, you know? And as much as I respect what he's doing, really, the economy is something that he should focus on probably more than the brackets. And so why would I care about that? I love the guy and I think he's going to be great, but I love the fact that so many people are filling them out, because the game is growing so much. But until I quit coaching, or retire from coaching, I'm never going to fill one out.
HH: Coach K not liking the fact the president of the United States is filling out a bracket, Mark Steyn.
MS: No, he feels that the President should be concentrating on the economy. The reality is that the President seems to have all the time in the world…he doesn't seem to have much time in the world for the economy or foreign policy, but he's got all the time in the world for going on the Jay Leno show, in effect holding campaign style town meetings, indulging in other stunts. There is something, he is sending, I think, dangerous signals even to his own supporters here.
HH: Now let's talk a little bit about AIG, because it is a pitchfork moment. Pete Wehner just wrote a great piece over at Commentary about the Mob on The Hill. And I did not like the bonuses, I thought you ought to be able to shut that off in the course of negotiating for $30 billion dollars of taxpayer money. But it has been rather delicious to see Chris Dodd go both ways in the same day, and then to watch just the fever spread, and it's a fever now.
MS: Yeah, and actually it's very disturbing to me what some of these legislators are saying. Any self-respecting, free-born citizen who allows himself to fall for this kabuki outrage frankly deserves the vaporization of his assets that these hack legislators are lining up for him. I mean, it is a ludicrous, piffling, trivial matter with huge implications, which is to say that these Senators and Congressmen who are effectively demanding these bonuses be returned, and have passed what is, I regard, as an unconstitutional bill of attainder, they are making it less likely that we will ever recover a normal business environment, because they're saying effectively that America is now a banana republic, that we're a land where contract means nothing, even if the contract clause is one that Dodd and these other buffoons have specifically voted for just a couple of weeks ago. They're saying oh, we don't care. We don't care, we're still going to pass a bill taking all your money away. Well, who the hell in their right mind would want to invest in a jurisdiction like that? They're playing a very dangerous game here. You can't have a business environment unless things like the law of contract are allowed to stand. Otherwise, you might as well just be some banana republic in the middle of some dustbowl basket case somewhere.
HH: Can you imagine, Mark Steyn, who wants to go to work for AIG right now? Or any TARP-funded entity? Don't you want to run as fast as you can away from such businesses?
MS: Exactly, and what you want to do when you listen to these…I mean, if people don't understand this, what matters at the moment is that the national legislative class of this country is a joke. And if you take Chris Dodd and Barney Frank seriously, you are a fool and you deserve to lose your money, because they're making it impossible for the economy ever to recover, because they're essentially saying we don't care what kind of contract you have. We don't care how nailed down it is. We will actually target you, yes, you, Fred Schmuck of 27 Elm Street in Nowheresville, vice president of whatever AIG subsidiary, and we'll take away all your money. That is unbecoming to any serious nation, but especially one in this economic situation.
HH: Mark Steyn, well said, I argued that point about bill of attainder yesterday, and you know what's funny is that the lefties will never say that the genuine civil liberties for which we were supposed to be protected are still civil liberties, even as they go out and invent new ones for terrorists.
MS: Exactly.
HH: We can't claim our own ones. Mark Steyn, always a pleasure, www.steynonline.come, America.

Excitement is building for the second annual Applecrest Half Marathon and it will draw a large and enthusiastic field once again. The folks at LOCO Sports make sure that all the details are covered for you. Those details include a scenic course along fields and orchards in rural Hampton Falls, New Hampshire--about an hour from Boston and a little over an hour from Portland--half hour from Manchester and Nashua. They offer outstanding course support, a wicking tech shirt by Green Layer, which is made 100% from recycled fabric, a beautiful custom medal, and a fall feast at the finish with live music and many options offered by the Applecrest Farm. Dig in with home-made pie and ice cream, fresh pressed cider, Stonyfield yogurt, and Smuttynose beer, along with other goodies.
The course will be a reward in itself, and you will have the opportunity to pick your own fruit following the race. So bring the family and a little extra money to get some wonderful fresh fruit or pumpkins to take home.
This is a terrific event and the inaugural was a huge success. And what a location--Applecrest Farm is the oldest and largest orchard in New Hampshire and claims to be the oldest continuously operated orchard in the USA, offering over 40 varieties of fruits and vegetables grown right on the farm, along with cider, ice cream, pies and other baked goods.
It is a USATF-certified course with some rolls to keep it interesting. Walkers are welcome and will have course support for three hours and thirty minutes. The course is carefully marked and monitored. There will be five aid stations with water at each, along with energy gel at one and Gatorade at another.
There is a course map on the race website, along with information on directions and parking, registration, accommodations, average weather conditions, awards, details about the farm such as their 200-year-old barn, FAQ's sponsors, charities, contacts, other LOCO events, and much more. http://applecresthalf.com/
Here you go for the second weekend in September, a beautiful time in New England, and a delightful and enjoyable fall half marathon along rural New Hampshire roads. This is a place you would want to visit anyway, and it is doubly inviting because LOCO Sports has done it again—planned an outstanding event that caters to all runners and walkers too. This is another of their signature half marathons, and anyone who has participated in LOCO events will tell you of a terrific experience. Better get in on this one because it looks like their Rockfest Marathon and Half Marathon will be sold out. This event is destined to be a huge success and great experience for years to come.
Applecrest Farms runs a Fall Festival every weekend in September, which includes music, pick-your-own fruit options, ice cream, pie, apple cider donuts, a corn roast (sausages, hot dogs, burgers, roasted corn, chowder, cider, and more goodies. It is an outstanding location to take the family for before, during and after the race: petting zoo, face painting, balloons, pie-eating contest, hayrides, apple pie and ice cream, scarecrow making, and tours of the farm. http://www.applecresthalf.com/
Bib number and T-shirt pickup will be available beginning at 7:00 a.m. through race time under the big white tent, which will serve as race headquarters. The start will be at 8:30 a.m. for both runners and walkers, so there will be plenty of time left to enjoy the day at Applecrest Farm or on the Seacoast. Be sure to bring the entire family, as there will be plenty to do.
For additional event information please contact firstname.lastname@example.com.
Sponsors, in addition to Applecrest Farm and LOCO Sports, include Stonyfield Farm organic yogurt, Green Layer shirts, sustainable lifestyle apparel, Smuttynose Brewing, and Exeter Hospital's Sports Medicine Specialty Team.
About the Course
The course is beautiful, especially this time of year when the entire Seacoast region prepares to explode into fall colors, which are especially vibrant along these lanes, bordering the fields and historic orchards. And all of it will be rural roads—very rural indeed--along land that has been producing fruit and vegetables for centuries.
This race begins and ends right on the property at Applecrest Farm. It is quiet and peaceful, and the scent of apples and harvest will be in the air. There is some elevation change with just enough moderate rolls to be invigorating. The course is basically one large loop along rural roads with historic homes and structures, fields and orchards abound as it winds its way through Hampton Falls and Kensington.
Race Amenities
There will be awards for the top three overall females and males as well as five-year age group awards. Additional race amenities include: Beautiful rural course, plenty of parking, commemorative wicking technical shirts (Green Layer) to all registered half marathon participants; and all registered finishers will receive a beautiful commemorative, custom finisher's medal. And of course all will receive that apple pie and ice cream, cider and fresh-as-can-be fruit, yogurt, beer and more.
Go to the Website—Register Now
As you probably know, other LOCO half marathons, including Great Bay, Half at Hamptons, Rockfest, and All Women's have been sellouts. And the reason is obvious—they provide an outstanding race experience. So don't wait; get your registration in while you can. For registration questions contact email@example.com.
"The race, the farm, the festival--what a wonderful experience for our family. Every Sunday should be so enjoyable."

Giuseppe di Stefano, an Italian lyric tenor who was a celebrated singing partner of soprano Maria Callas and a role model for the late Luciano Pavarotti, died Monday in his sleep at his home in Santa Maria Hoe, north of Milan, Italy, said his wife, Monika Curth.
He was 86.
Di Stefano had never fully recovered from wounds sustained in a robbery at his family's villa in Kenya in November 2004, his wife said.
The tenor had been struck in the head during an attack by five assailants at his home in Diani, about 270 miles southeast of the capital, Nairobi.
He suffered the blow while trying to defend his wife as the thieves tried to steal her necklace. She needed 16 stitches to her head at the hospital in Diani.

Jayco, Inc. was founded in 1968 by a man of strong faith and vision. The late Lloyd J. Bontrager, family man and inventor, felt he could build the world a better RV. He longed to create a company of his own, one that clearly reflected his ideals: a company where everyone would be treated as "family".
With encouragement from his wife Bertha, Lloyd started Jayco on their farm--in two chicken houses and a barn! He developed his own prototype camping trailer and a unique lifter system for fold-down campers, the basic design of which is patented and still in use today. By the end of 1968, his fledging company of 15 employees had sold 132 fold-down camping trailers.
Today, Jayco's "family" of employees has grown to nearly 1,500 people, while more than 25,000 people join our "extended family" of customers each year.
At Jayco, our mission statement is: Committed to being the most respected name in recreation vehicles. We will consistently build a high quality, high value, competitively priced product at acceptable margins, treat every situation with the highest level of integrity in a timely manner, and continually work to reduce total cost to achieve acceptable returns.
