Darren McGavin By RD Heldenfels Published: February 26, 2006
To me, the great good fortune for an actor is to find a great
role somewhere along the way -- a role that sticks in the public
imagination, a role that is satisfying to play, a role that
other actors can look at with awe. Don Knotts, eulogized below,
found that role in ''The Andy Griffith Show.'' Ray Walston, an
actor who had done wonderful work along the way, once longed for
that kind of role; he looked more than a little enviously at
Burgess Meredith, who at the time was enjoying just such a role
in ''Rocky.'' Of course, Walston was stuck doing dinner theater
at the time, which may have added to his depression; years
later, he would have another grand moment in the sun on ''Picket
Fences,'' winning Emmys for it. I'm rambling about this because
Darren McGavin has died, and I hope that he has gone to his
grave knowing he had had not just one grand role, but two. The

(arrow) keys to browse more stories Why Kirk Ferentz Does Not
Fit at Notre Dame Scott Halleran/Getty Images Kirk Ferentz is
no stranger to rumors—he seems to have his name thrown into more
possible coaching replacement discussions than can be counted on
one hand any given year. The Big Ten Coach of the Year was
originally penned into the Notre Dame coaching job discussion by
a story run in the Chicago Sun-Times way back on Nov. 15. Now
that the Irish have officially dumped Charlie Weis, it seems
every media outlet has planted Ferentz on what they believe
should be Notre Dame's short list—though it's extremely short-
sighted. Ferentz and Weis share a common acquaintance in
Patriots head coach Bill Belichick, and their salaries are
similar. That's about all that could be tying the Iowa head
coach into this messy equation. Though it's all very clear-cut
in Ferentz's case. Notre Dame would need to change too much for
Ferentz to be the proper fit. Fe |

rock 'n roll. Steve Perry and the rest of the band walked
offstage after a mind-blowing encore for the Pasadena,
California audience. The erotic power of the show was still
ebbing in the arena, slowly fading into a mellow bliss. The
crowds, delirious and confused with ecstasy, ambled towards
their cars so they could wait in the post-show traffic and smoke
a few marijuana cigarettes. One starstruck lad stood in front
of the stage, waiting patiently for a second encore. Some say
the boy waited there for an entire year until Journey visited
again in '86, and during the first song he died of a heart
attack on the same exact spot. The groupies tore at the tassels
on Steve Perry's colorful vest, and pleaded with him to take
them away and make sweet love for them in his hidden cloud
fortress. Steve Perry cared not for the temptations for the
mortal flesh. It's not like he was gay or anything, but his

Sign-up How to keep your water heater from becoming a legal
nightmare Larry and Suzanne Weingarten July 16, 2009 Subscribe
to RSS feed To some, water heaters are as mysterious as a black
hole. That black hole sucks in nearly six million heaters (from
the United States) each year as people endure the cycle of
installing a new tank, forgetting it, having it leak, and
replacing it. However, ignoring water heaters can be more than a
costly annoyance. Their neglect can result in personal injury,
property damage, and worse. Take heed, or you could end up in
very hot water indeed. Water heaters are versatile: They can
leak, explode, make scalding water, produce poisonous carbon
monoxide gas, and cause fires. Fortunately, it's within your
power to avoid these problems if you learn a little about water
heaters and how to manage them. Prevent explosions All tanks
must be equipped with a new temperature and pressure (T&P)
relief valve when installed. |

of Technology Media Laboratory The traditional story
understanding dogma in AI holds that there exists a singular,
objective meaning implied by text, which can be uncovered by
applying just the right logical inferences. But according to
research into the cognition of reading, text can also be read,
not objectively, but aesthetically. An aesthetic reading of text
engages not only the agency of thought, but also intuition,
sensation, and sentiment, and cultural interpretation. We have
developed and implemented a basic computational model of
aesthetic reading, which employs Carl Jung’s Modes of

interpretation out to several different textual analysis

"the worst I have ever seen" as his side's clash at Portsmouth
was abandoned at half time. Referee Lee Collins had no option
but to call a halt to proceedings after a thunderstorm and

Ainsworth said: "The ref made 100 per cent the right call. I

down and the safety of the players and fans is most important.
The forecast was for even more rain in the second half so there
was no other option." The game was level at 1-1 when it was

from 20 yards after Pompey had failed to clear a corner.

Citizens, But That Doesn't Mean We're Going to Allow Any | Mon
Mar. 5, 2012 10:37 PM GMT Attorney General Eric Holder gave a
speech today that, among other things, explained at length why
the Obama administration believes it has the authority to
unilaterally order the killing of a U.S. citizen abroad. Adam
Serwer has a good summary here, but I want to focus narrowly on
the questions of due process and oversight raised in the speech.
Here's Holder: This is, as far as I know, legally correct.
"Due process" doesn't always mean a traditional trial. However,
the "balancing approach" toward due process that Holder mentions
earlier in the speech is generally meant to keep full-blown
trials from being required even for fairly minor offenses,
something that could grind the criminal justice system to a
halt. It's not meant to demean the due process required for
something as serious as targeting someone for killing. As Holder
acknowledges, "An individual’s int |

3.198934 | 4.729774 | 2 | Rochard Review Reviewed: October 5, 2011 Sometimes, ordinary
people are thrust into situations in which they have to do
extraordinary things. Such is the case with John Rochard, a
simple man who is cast into the role of hero when the mine he's
working on is invaded by a gang of ne'er-do-wells called wild
boys. Thankfully, John has a handy device that lets him loosen
the grip of gravity and accomplish other nifty things, which
makes his transition from space miner to space savior
significantly smoother. Though this 2D puzzle platformer is
short on satisfying puzzles and memorable moments, it's still an
enjoyable trek that provides you with a fun assortment of ways
to navigate its tricky environments. Rochard's story isn't one
of its strengths; this tale of ancient relics and corporate
corruption plays out predictably and ends with an unfulfilling
cliffhanger. But John Rochard's unapologetically blue-collar

"Polenta — I May Be Doing it Wrong." This was the subject line
of an email we received a couple of months ago, from a reader
who wanted to know why her cornmeal porridge always "seems to
turn out bland and somewhat uninteresting." "I've tried a couple
different preparations so far (sliced and baked, mush under

understandable. Polenta does not inspire superfandom in most
people. (One prominent exception: Aziz Ansari.) That's partly
because its flavor is miles away from that of its essential
ingredient: corn. Most polenta retains only a whisper of the
sweet, tangy, summer-fresh deliciousness of that wonderful
vegetable. The process that turns fresh corn into coarse
cornmeal is, in its effects, roughly equivalent to whatever it
is that turned Tom Waits' 1973 voice into Tom Waits' 2013 voice.

allowed three goals. Both Gottschee and DUSC would be playing
with only 12 players, allowing for just one substitute each,
making conditions even tougher. With the wind at their backs in
the first half, DUSC dominated the game, but couldn’t find the

McK. HE day had been long and sultry. It was the season
of little heat, when an all-encompassing humidity seemed sus-
pended over the land. Sky and earth were of one monotonous
color, a dim blue, which faded to shadowy grayness at the fall
of the twilight. With the approach of evening, a soothing
breeze crept up from the river. Its faint movement brought a
measure of relief, and nature took on a more ani- mated aspect.
Up through the narrow, twisting roads, in and out of the never-
ending paths, the lights of count- less jinrikishas twinkled,

R' Eli'ezer's opinion that the time for reciting Shema' in the
evening extends only until the end of the first shift (the
Kohanim would serve in the Beith HaMikdash in three shifts
throughout the night). If a particular set of Kohanim are on
duty in the first shift, does that mean that, according to him,
they can't say Shema' (or perhaps are exempt)? share|improve
this question Because they're "Osek b'mitzvah patur min
hamitzvah"? Also, I thought it was referring to shifts in
Shamayim (daf 3a), not in the Beith HaMikdash. – zaq Aug 3 '12
at 18:26 @zaq, I had that thought. But the Gemara doesn't raise
the question. Tosafoth ask the same question on a different
Beraitha, but not on this Mishnah. As to your second point,
we're not there yet! – Seth J Aug 3 '12 at 18:30 Spoiler Alert!
I'm not sure, but I don't think they'd be Patur. They might be
considered workers who are entitled/required to take a break to

2 Answers The first line in the description fo every gem
contains some tags, i.e enter image description here In this
example Glacial Hammer is Cold, Attack and Melee. That means
that any support gems with any of those same tags will add its

information to have, but it doesn't really answer the question.

whatever support gem you are using, however it will only

Breadwinning wives account for more than 35 percent of married
working women, a number that's growing every day. Yet personal
and societal attitudes have not kept pace with this dramatic
evolution in the workplace. The clash between economic and
everyday realities is wreaking havoc on marriages across the
country, calling into question notions of power, equality, and
even what it means to be a man or a woman. But very few people
have talked openly about it—much less offered solutions to
inevitable conflicts—until now. For Richer or Poorer gives a
blueprint to the pioneers who are reshaping expectations of
marriage. Tackling conflicts that lie at the heart of marriages

set-top boxes from Suddenlink, now that the cable company has
started rolling out the TiVo Premiere. The difference here is
that the TiVo's can access Suddenlink's VOD, as well as stream
YouTube and Pandora. As far as the other internet sources
typically available on a TiVo, the company confirmed to
Multichannel News it is negotiating with Blockbuster, Amazon and
Hulu Plus. Netflix is currently not on the list of possibles and
Suddenlink says it's not their fault, citing Netflix's
agreements with the studios as a reason why its Watch Instantly
service cannot coexist on hardware distributed by cable
companies.Otherwise the usual suite of TiVo features is in full
effect and they're available for the same price as Suddenlink's
old boxes making this a pretty good looking upgrade if you can't
bear to lose VOD access. Suddenlink starts rolling out TiVo

At first let me say I am a beginner in Git. I have read a lot of
stuff but there some points that are not clear for me. I work
local on a workingcopy. My head on local branchx have the same
id as remote branchx on gitlab. But on the gitlabserver I can
see two branches 1. bare/branchx 2. branchx. And when I compare
this two branches the bare/branchx is behind the branchx. I
searched for a while to find the command to update bare/branchx
to branchx but didn't find. I have the suspicion that something
is going wrong. Another questions is, why do I see this two
branches instead of one - the bare/branchx. As I've read, on
remote server have to be only an bare repository. But when I
pull my Data to the remote, there isn't a non bare repo? Where
are my data else, when the Bare repo didn't have a workingtree?
So many questions, so many answers and ways to do things on git.

Des Moines Register June 21, 1974 Elvis Presley brought a piece
of Las Vegas with him to Des Moines Thursday night. There were
no riots, no one fainted and the small force of Des Moines
police present had no trouble handling the crowd of 11,000
persons at Veterans Memorial auditorium. The customers, most of
whom paid $10 per ticket, saw a slick, sequined Caesars Palace-
style show that was built around The King himself. Elvis was
looking pretty good. He wore a one-piece white suit with blue
sequin decorations. When he strode onto the portable stage, his
hair was brushed back, but not greased. Only a slight paunch in
the middle betrayed his 38 years. It has been 20 years since he
first began recording for Sun Records on the way to becoming an
American entertainment legend. He sang a little of everything.
There were the oldies, such as "Heartbreak Hotel," "All Shook
Up," "Hound Dog" and "Don't Be Cruel." During those numbers,

see that some conservatives finally "get it". Our economy has
not been working for average Americans for a long time now.
Wages and benefits are stagnating or are in outright decline,
while the spoils accruing to the wealthiest are increasing by
leaps and bounds. Our leaders in the post WWII age understood
that a stable country required a stable and prosperous working
class. Over the years our leaders seem to have forgotten that
valuable lesson. Provo, UT Since it's not a role or

gamers aren't quite as fit as elite athletes, but they do have
something in common. According to a British academic, top-level
players show similar psychological attributes as top athletes,
such as the ability to manage anxiety, and have reaction times
on par with fighter pilots. Dr. Micklewright said, 'When I first
got asked to do [the study], my initial reaction was "don't be
ridiculous, gaming is nothing like sport." But the more I
thought about it, the more similarities [became clear], and I
became more and more convinced that it was close in many ways to
