While it is considered a classic today, "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory" was not a hit upon its 1971 release and was even criticized by some people who thought it was mean to children.
But in directing the adaption of the Roald Dahl book "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory," director Mel Stuart crafted a tale for adults, not kids. That is probably a big reason why it has endured and influenced everyone from "The Simpsons" to Marilyn Manson, on top of the brilliant performance from Gene Wilder as the eccentric yet calculating candy maker. And let's face it, kids love it too. They get it.
The imaginative story about five children who win a tour of Willy Wonka's top secret confectionary plant -- and the chaos they create with subsequent consequences they did not foresee -- is filled with all sorts of great characters, from Wonka to the irrepressibly bratty Veruca Salt to the singing Oompa-Loompas. And then there is the good hearted Charlie Bucket, the only child not spoiled by his parents and trying to hold on to good values.
Five of the cast members and director Mel Stuart were in New York this week to promote the 40th anniversary Blu-ray release of "Willy Wonka," and NextMovie broke bread with them and collected their thoughts and stories about working on this famous film.
[caption id="attachment_86618" align="alignright" width="300" caption="Warner Bros."][/caption]
What's your fondest memory from the set?
Julie Dawn Cole (Veruca Salt): Just the people. Good people.
Rusty Goffe (Oompa-Loompa): All of it. I loved the entire experience from when I arrived in [Munich, Germany, where they filmed] to when I left. It was an amazing experience.
Julie Dawn Cole: I cried all the way home [after we left]. This has been your family for three or four months, and then you go, "Bye."
Peter Ostrum (Charlie Bucket): Just the whole process. When you're doing it, you have no idea how it will come together. To see the finished product at the premiere was incredible. There were different scenes that I was not involved with, so I had no idea how they would be incorporated, like the vignettes of people finding or not finding the golden ticket and the Dan Rather nightly news scene. Those are great.
Paris Themmen (Mike Teevee): For me, it was the Chocolate Room and the stunt with the exploding gum in the Inventing Room. It was dangerous because they yanked the back of my pants with a wire, and I tumbled into a stand which was full of copper pots and pans so that they could clatter on and around me. That was fun. I might've gotten clunked in the head or not, I don't know. It doesn't matter. I wanted to do it again, but they said it was fine, they got it. They didn't want me to get clobbered.
Denise Nickerson (Violet Beauregarde): The Chocolate Room. When he opened the door, you truly had no idea [what to expect]. I was standing at the top of the stairs, and it wouldn't have mattered even if I knew what I was looking at. It's something I will never see again, and on film it doesn't even portray [what it was really like]. Even when I see it and hear the music now, it takes me back like I was there.

Tell us about working with Gene Wilder.
Peter Ostrum: It was great. He ended up being a close friend, and both he and Jack Albertson (who played Grandpa Joe) were my mentors and helped guide me through the process. Listening to his take all of these years later, I understand Mel now, but he was difficult to work with. Both Gene and Jack guided me through the process, so I almost relied on them more than Mel. He knew what he wanted, but it was difficult for him to convey that to his actors. He knew what he didn't want.
Rusty Goffe: Gene Wilder was awesome. I had known Gene Wilder from "The Producers" and "Bonnie and Clyde," and he was just becoming a big, big star. He was an amazing guy to work with, this genius of comedy. He was absolutely sensational.
Julie Dawn Cole: But also quite quiet. I think people thought he was going to be some zany, eccentric character the entire time, but he was normal. He was great. He was very kind and fun.
Mel Stuart (director): We both came to the conclusion that he [Wonka]'s got to be kind of a nutball, that you shouldn't know what he's up to you. You always have to be surprised. When we went into the factory to see the Oompa-Loompas making the stuff, and when we were standing outside, we came up with the idea of him speaking to the people in German. It doesn't make any sense, but it's all part of the strangeness of Wonka that makes him such a character. That's very important. When we were in the boat, the craziness at the end was his, where he went over the top. I didn't know, I was filming it. Suddenly he goes into this blast of yelling and screaming.
Paris Themmen: Gene Wilder was a great guy. The problem is that it was a one-way relationship. The word on me as an 11-year-old was that I was very rambunctious. I was sort of the bratty younger brother, and for that reason, although I have very fond memories of Gene Wilder -- he was a very gentle, talented, well spoken person, albeit a little bit eccentric -- I was in the way of getting his job done on a day-to-day basis. You'll see footage of him disparaging me. On the DVD footage he says, "You know I love you now, but you were a handful." I met him three or four years ago at a Barnes & Noble where he was signing [a book], and I hadn't seen him in years and years. I went up to him and said, "Hi, Mr. Wilder, it's Paris Themmen, I played Mike Teevee many years ago." He said, "Oh, you were a brat." I said, "Yes, I understand, Gene, I know. I like to think that I've changed over the intervening 40 years." And he said, "Oh yes, yes, I'm sure you have." Basically the damage was done.
Denise Nickerson: Gene was spectacular and the antithesis of what you see on film. He was very quiet and soft-spoken, and when he did the Wonkatania and first did the song, there was no acting involved. This guy was a crackerjack. He was shy and one of the kindest people, totally opposite of what you'd expect.
[caption id="attachment_86625" align="alignright" width="220" caption="Warner Bros."][/caption]
What did you think of the Tim Burton remake of "Charlie and The Chocolate Factory"?
Mel Stuart: If you turn that [recorder] off, I'll tell you.
Peter Ostrum: It's totally different. Different flavors. There were parts of it that I like, but it struck a different chord for most people. You can't compare the two, and if anything it generated more interest in our film. Before it came out, we thought it would replace it as the gold standard.
Paris Themmen: For years I didn't want to answer this question. I would avoid it and didn't want to seem like a sour grapes guy. But after legions of fans have come up to my signing table at conventions and said, "The old one was great, the new one sucks," I now feel I can say that it was not as good. I could go on for some time telling you what I think they did wrong.
Denise Nickerson: I love Johnny Depp, he's one of my favorite actors, but Gene owns the role. I think Johnny Depp stuck more to the book, more to what Roald Dahl's vision was. Roald Dahl was a very formidable person sitting on the set. He didn't really joke with people.
Julie Dawn Cole: We often get asked about the thing that should not be named, the Johnny Depp version, and what we think of it. When I look at the remake, the children really weren't bad enough. It was almost ordinary. You have to go so, so far to be bad. Some of what the children did in "Willy Wonka" is now normal. That's rather worrying.
Mel Stuart: But it's the parents who are wrong, always. You have to have children who grow up with a sense of discipline, and if they do not, blame the parents, don't blame the kids. If they're allowed to create havoc, it's not their fault, they will. They don't have a steering wheel in their brain yet, and it's the parents that form the steering wheel.
Julie Dawn Cole: Somebody asked me earlier, what was wrong with the kids? Where did they go wrong? And what was wrong with Veruca Salt? She was given no boundaries, and she was going to be bad. It wasn't her fault. It was her parents'. They didn't stop her, and children need boundaries. When you indulge children and you spoil them, that's what you get.
Mel Stuart: Why wouldn't they want to be spoiled?

Have many people have recognized you in recent years?
Peter Ostrum: I look more like Jack Albertson now than Peter Ostrum as a youngster [laughs]. Not very many people would recognize me now, and I don't walk around with a sign saying, "I was Charlie Bucket." I fly under the radar. Thinking about the kids in the film, other than my family, this group of people that we have something in common with are my closest friends and the longest friends that I have. For years and years we didn't have any contact, up until 1997 when we were reunited. Periodically we get together, and because of the 40th we have gotten together several times this year. It's like your family -- everybody's a little bit different and everybody has their quirks.
Denise Nickerson: Not at all. I think at the 30th [anniversary event], they ushered in Julie, Peter, Michael and Paris, and I went to follow them in. The woman said, "No no, PR, you're over there." I said, " I'm not with PR, I'm one of the actors." "Sure you are, PR is over there." When you look at me and hear me, yes, but I'm not as recognizable as Julie or Michael or Paris.
Paris Themmen: People who recognize me are generally either rabid Wonka fans, people with photographic memories or visual artists who see that my face is still my face. I'm talking about people without context pegging me on the street. It's impressive.
Julie Dawn Cole: Rather scarily, yes [they remember], but I was only 12 at the time, so they're a little disappointed. But sometimes people still do kind of go, "Weren't you...? Aren't you...? Did you...? I know you from somewhere."
Rusty Goffe: Exactly the same thing for me.
Julie Dawn Cole: But Rusty doesn't have the orange face. He looks different when he's orange.
Rusty Goffe: I was more pretty.
Julie Dawn Cole: Now they have set the trend for young people being orange, being spray tanned.
Rusty Goffe: I was the first.
Julie Dawn Cole: It was always an Oompa-Loompa thing. You are a style trendsetter. The green hair hasn't caught on yet.

Our workshop at Milperra Road, Milperra houses an intriguing mixture of pieces being given a makeover. One chair is being stripped back, another is getting a new, handwoven seat, and lots of items are given the lively look by having them cleaned, polished, stained and varnished.
They can restore furniture made with split cane (cane with the skin intact that is cut in half to make slats and straps), rush ropes (originally made with reeds) or seagrass and wickerworks.
Lilia's speciality is hand-caning, a skill required mainly for antique chairs, which involves laboriously weaving cane strips between the holes on the seat's rim. If your chair seat doesn't have holes, it can be re-grooved and fitted with pre-machine woven cane mesh.
If you have an old bentwood chair with a cane seat in need of repair, the Nools can either restore the whole thing stripping, re caning, staining or French polishing, or simply replace the seat. They also repair baskets, in some cases quite large ones- they once restored the basket of a hot air balloon.

The man behind the 'toilet protest' has spoken of what is behind it - and his journey from Canadian family life to being homeless on the streets of Stockport town centre .
Alex McCready, 56, lives in a tent on a grass verge near Stockport Market - where he has erected a toilet - but grew up in Ontario.
He says Stockport Homes cannot find him accommodation that does not involve living in a hostel and the lav is a 'statement' asking 'why can't I have my own place and bathroom'.
Alex - who acknowledges he has alcohol and substance issues - thinks being in a hostel will expose him to things he is trying to leave behind.
Stockport Homes says it has made an offer of a place in a temporary accommodation scheme rather than a hostel.
In the meantime there have been complaints over the toilet to the council from several people including a market trader.
Alex said: "I'm not affecting trade, if I was and they wanted me to go I would but the consensus seems positive.
"No one pees or poos in the toilet, it is a statement. I am hard to house but I can't go back to a hostel, I was in Brindale House for 11 months, it's not conducive to a healthy lifestyle.
"I would bid for available properties every week with Stockport Homes but didn't have enough points to qualify."
Alex was born in Scotland but his parents moved to Canada when he was four.
They gained citizenship in 1973 as did his sister upon joining the army at 18. But by the time Alex reached adulthood he had already become involved in crime so he did not.
He married a Canadian woman in 1973, has two sons and for a while enjoyed family life and a 'period of stability' when he worked as a bricklayer.

Read more: Begging, sitting on the floor and legal highs banned from Stockport centre under new legal order
But he began using crystal meth and says a downward spiral meant he was deported to the UK for having a 'lengthy criminal record ' including burglary and robbery.
Since arriving in the country he has been to jail and ended up in Brindale House a year ago, which he left last month after a fight with another resident.
Now he says he is trying to leave crime, drugs and alcohol behind but needs housing help to do so. He has thanked homeless charity Wellspring for its help and says he could not have survived without it.
Alex, who is largely estranged from his family, said: "I don't present myself as a victim but I am as Canadian as maple syrup and Justin Bieber so I think it's interesting I've ended up on your doorstep.
"I'm coping alright in the tent, staying warm and dry. It gets far colder in Canada than it does here.
"I fell through the cracks in Canada, now I'm Stockport and the UK's problem, which I don't think is right. But I like Stockport and I think Stockport likes me."
A Stockport Homes spokesman said: "I can confirm that we have offered a place at one of our temporary accommodation schemes (not hostel) but this offer has been declined at present."

OK, actually nothing at all like that movie...
This past weekend Carole & I and June & Chris, friends for 30 years, had a three day two night adventure centered on bicycling on the Great Allegheny Passage rail trail, which connects Cumberland MD with Pittsburgh PA. The GAP trail is slightly uphill going from Pittsburgh to Deal, PA, gaining about 1600' in elevation over the first 125 miles and then giving all that gain back in a beautiful downhill 25 mile stretch through Frostburg, MD and into Cumberland.
This was in the middle of yet another heat wave in the Washington DC area, but the elevation and the weather forecast promised some relief. So we packed up John's trusty Subaru Outback with 4 bikes and assorted stuff and drove to Confluence PA and checked into the Parker House County Inn.
The Parker House is a beautiful place that we had to ourselves the first night but shared with 7 or 8 other cyclists on the second night. Mary, the Innkeeper, recommended the Summit Inn for dinner when we asked about places to eat near Uniontown. We drove west on the "National Pike" (Rt. 40), felt a bit under-dressed for such an impressive looking place, but had a great meal with great views of the valley from the summit. The Summit Inn dates back to 1907, built in an era when coal and foresting wealth meant Uniontown PA had one of the highest rates of millionaires per capita of any city in the US. The decline of coal coupled with the Chestnut blight brought on hard times, but the place has been restored and is very impressive, inside and out.
The next day began the calorie-burning portion of the trip. Carole and June drove us an hour west of Confluence and dropped us off at the West Newton trailhead on the GAP trail. While Chris and I were cycling 53 miles back to Confluence, Carole and June would go zip-lining at Nemacolin and then meet up with Carole's friend Martha for some hiking and other adventures in Ohiopyle.
The first 25 mile stretch from West Newton to Connellsville PA was a piece of cake, scenic and a barely noticeable uphill going upstream alongside the Youghiogheny River (one of the few rivers in North America that flows north) and passing under I-70. We stopped for lunch there and Chris began to feel his buttocks complaining about sitting on a hard bicycle seat for so many hours, while John, who had wisely spent years accumulating many layers of relaxed muscle on his posterior, felt fine.
The next 17 miles to Ohiopyle were through a beautifully rugged and isolated section of the Youghiogheny River, with an increased uphill slope. We stopped at one rest stop where Chris admired the combination air pump/bike hoist/tool dispenser kiosk. We saw several of these on this trip, a great idea.
About 17 miles from Connellsville, we crossed two bridges over the Youghiogheny and entered Ohiopyle, just a few miles from the famous Frank Lloyd Wright Fallingwaters House. We had a second lunch at the phenomenal Ohiopyle House Cafe - I think the food would have tasted great even if we hadn't just cycled 42 miles.
Oddly enough, just miles away Carole, June and Martha were braving the Natural Water Slide - a stream that runs down a small canyon on its way to the Yough, and at the right water levels it is a popular place for a natural water slide ride. Here's June and Carole going down with Martha providing the verbal encouragement:
It was another 11 miles from Ohiopyle back to Confluence - a section I had done many times, starting 25 years ago when Lauren was less than a year old and I had carried her on a baby seat - and she ripped her helmet off her head, sending it flying towards the Yough River. It is a beautiful stretch and at about 3pm we arrived back at the Parker House, just in time to avoid a gulley washing downpour - which it turns out dumped directly on the heads of Carole, June and Martha while they hiked - punishment for not biking with us.
That night, at Martha's recommendation, we had a great meal at the Stone House Inn on Rt. 40, then back to bed to prepare for the next day's complicated logistics. John would hop on his bicycle at 0630 to pedal the 38 miles to Deal, while at 0730 Carole and June would drive to Cumberland MD, dropping Chris off at Rockwood PA on the way. The Cumberland Trail Connection bike shop would then shuttle Carole and June and their bikes back to o the top of trail at Deal PA where magically we would all reunite.
Within a mile of starting in the morning, I found a tree had fallen and blocked the path. I had to break off some branches and drag the bike under sideways. The next 18 miles from Confluence to Rockwood (art at the Rockwood trail stop above) included visits by turkeys, deer, rabbits, chipmunks, cats, owls and chickens who were out foraging after the evening deluges. After Rockwood, the trail steepens a bit through Connellsville and then up to Deal - where magically all the timing worked out and John&Carole & June&Chris were reunited to enjoy the ride back down to our car in Cumberland.
First, we got to cycle through the 3,000 foot long Big Savage Tunnel. It was lighted but some of the lights were out. We had put lights on our bikes, but sill sort of a spooky ride through - the natural air conditioning was very enjoyable.
The southern/eastern end of the Big Savage Tunnel has a great view. What you can't see are the dozens of huge wind turbines on the ridge.
A few more miles brought us through a short tunnel at the Eastern Continental Divide - from that point on, all our sweat would flow into the Chesapeake Bay vs. the Gulf of Mexico.
From there it was another 20 miles or so of swooping downhills, passing Frostburg and the Cliffs of Cumberland before reaching the Cumberland terminus - where 18 years earlier Carole and I had started our 3 day, 184 mile bike ride of the C&O Canal Towpath into Washington DC.
A quick meal at the European Dessert and Sandwich shop and we hopped back in the trusty Subaru for the petroleum-powered ride home.

Gilani calls for comprehensive review of ties with US
Gilani made the remarks while briefing a special meeting of the Parliamentary Committee on National Security that was convened to discuss Saturday`s NATO air strike on two Pakistani military posts that killed 24 soldiers and its impact on future cooperation with the US and its allies.
"Clearly, there is a limit to our patience. Cooperation cannot be a one-way street," Gilani told the parliamentary panel. The "dastardly" attack was a "grave infringement of Pakistan`s territorial frontiers" by NATO and would "definitely compel us to revisit our national security paradigm", he said.
"Instructions have been issued to all units of the Pakistan armed forces to respond, with full force, to any act of aggression and infringement of Pakistan`s territorial frontiers," he told the panel. Gilani sought recommendations from the panel for a joint session of Parliament that will be convened shortly to discuss the fallout of the NATO attack.
The premier signalled a possible shift in Pakistan`s policy for the US-led war on terror, which Islamabad has supported since the 9/11 terror attacks. "Our security and counter-terrorism policy needs to be pursued in a manner that suits Pakistan?s national interests," he said.
Gilani noted that the Defence Committee of the Cabinet, the highest decision-making body on security issues, had already decided that the government would "undertake a complete review of all programmes, activities and cooperative arrangements with the US/NATO/ISAF, including diplomatic, political, military and intelligence" cooperation.
"Given the gravity of the situation, it is imperative to undertake a holistic review of national security and the future of our cooperation with the United States and NATO," he said.
Pakistan responded angrily to the NATO air strike by closing all routes used to transport supplies to American and allied forces in Afghanistan and asking the US to vacate Shamsi airbase, reportedly used by CIA-operated drones.
The government also decided to boycott the Bonn Conference on Afghanistan to be held on December 5. The meeting will discuss the future of the war-torn country and the West has been looking to Pakistan to play a key role in facilitating both the withdrawal of foreign forces and negotiations with the Taliban.
Gilani and the Pakistan Army`s Director General of Military Operations, Maj Gen Ashfaq Nadeem Ahmed, gave a detailed briefing to the parliamentary committee on the NATO attack and its fallout on Pakistan-US relations.
The meeting was also attended by Foreign Minister Hina Rabbani Khar, Defence Minister Chaudhry Ahmed Mukhtar and Interior Minister Rehman Malik.

Most embarrassing Mom moment

Wow...I really don't know what my most embarassing is, I will have to think on that. Also I don't have any Panera recipe secrets but if you go to www.panerabread.com and go to the nutrition guide I bet you could really piece together some awesome recipes. If you made a cheese sauce, much like you made the broccoli soup, I bet it would taste awesome. Just stick to milk, cornstarch or flour, white cheddar, and maybe some garlic seasoning. I bet it would taste awesome.

my daughter asked if the man ahead of us in line ate a lot of pizza.
doesn't sound so bad except I had just finished explaining to her that we don't eat pizza very often because otherwise we'll get fat.
thankfully he either didn't hear us or pretended not to (probably that one) and I told her that is not nice.

When my daughter was 4 we went out to a restaurant. There was a very large woman in a wheelchair at the next table. My daughter got out of her seat walked over to the woman pointed at her and said "Mommy is she in a wheelchair because she is so fat!" I wanted to die, seriously. Why do children have to be so candid all the time.

In Idaho, most of the population is white. I was shopping with my two year old and she pointed to a lady with dark skin and yelled "Scary Monster!" I turned her another direction and asked if she had seen a scary monster toy in the back of the store, and she said "No, Scary Monster there! Right there!" as she pointed again.
I was totally mortified. I have no idea where she would have picked that up, but we were done shopping quickly.

Well, my daughter doesn't speak clear yet - but we went to a restaurant, with friends and she decided it was time to poopoo - well, she made all sort of noises (loud noises) and got really red, and everybody in that little restaurant stared at us. I know everybody does this, but for me, it was horrible. And my hubby was sort of come on baby, don't draw attention to us, lol...

Exterior Paint Scheme
After reviewing
a number of different paint schemes for my simulator I
have decided to use the same paint scheme as used on
Boeing's Dreamliners as pictured above on a 737-700.

The photo below is what I will try to duplicate in my
simulator, however mine will not have a HUD. Perhaps
that will be an option in the near future.

Progress to Date 08/08/14
I will attempt to bring everyone up to date on what I've
been doing with my flight simulator these past few
years. I was running out of room in my garage to work on
my simulator so instead of doing major work on the
simulator I was working on smaller projects. After
completing my training as a Certified Registered Nurse
Anesthetist CRNA I took a job in Macon, Georgia. My wife
and I decided to relocate closer to my job in Macon. In
June of 2008 we purchased 37 acres in Madison, Georgia
about an hour from my job in Macon. We planned on
building a barn for our horses along with an apartment
for us to live in until we sold our house in Snellville.
In September of 2012 we were able to move to our new
home in Madison, Georgia pictured below.
Now that
we have moved to the farm we were able to move our
horses to their new home. To add to our excitement of
having our horses at their home in May of 2012 we
welcomed two babies, a colt and a filly on Mother's day.
At 1:00 am on Mother's day 2012 one of our mares, Faith
gave birth to our first horse born on our new farm. Our
new colt, Remi pictured above was on his feet less than
an hour after his birth. We had been watching Faith for
two weeks as she was showing signs that she was close to
delivery. Her sister Hope was also expecting her first
baby but was not due for another two weeks. Faith had a
very difficult labor and we were very concerned we were
going to lose her. We were so concerned watching Faith
that Hope was getting little attention. Then we noticed
that Hope was acting strangely.
Less than 30 minutes after Remi was born Hope gave birth
to a filly we named Peanut. She too was up walking
within an hour of birth. Below is the whole gang at
feeding time.
While we really enjoy living at our farm with our horses
there are some consequences in the short term. We have
not sold our old house so we are living in an apartment
that we built attached to the barn. We have very little
storage so I had to put my simulator into storage. It
will have to stay there until we are able to sell our
old house and then build our new home at the farm. It
will include a large room downstairs built specifically
for my simulator. It will have a shop for all of my
equipment and tools and a seperate room for all of my
flight sims computers. So in the meantime I have been
working on those items that I have the room to work on
inside our apartment.
The first item I have been working on are my seats. I am
on my third set of seats. I decided to purchase the
IPECO seats and refurbish them to look the the latest
seats in the 737. Below is a picture of my latest seats.
The first thing I did was to remove all the components
and strip them of their paint. Then I repainted the
seats. Below is a picture of all the components of my
seats after repainting.
Then I took the cushions of the seats and inserted the
components of an Ivibe seat. I tested these before I
installed in my seats and again after they were
installed. I love the feel that they create when flying.
I would highly recommend them.
Finally I reassembled the seats after reupholstering the
seats in gray leather and new gray wool. I purchased an
old Singer sewing machine and sewed the leather and wool
seat covers myself. Although not completely finished
below is a picture of what I have done so far.
I have
been working on obtaining a complete set of circuit
breaker panels for the 737. I finally obtained all of
the circuit breaker panels. I have been working on them
while obtaining a complete set. I removed all the wiring
and then removed all the individual circuit breakers. I
then cleaned all the breakers and removed all of the
lables from the panels. I then stripped the panels of
their paint. Below are what the panels looked like when
i received them.
I then
replaced all of the individual circuit breakers in the
panels and repainted them. I obtained a complete set of
737 circuit breaker panel lablels from Chuck Moore a
number of years ago. He researched the breaker lablels
correct location and had a printer make him a few sets
printed on adhesive plastic. He had an extra set and was
willing to part with them. Thanks again to Chuck. After
applying the labels I then made small labels using a
label maker with the numbers on each individual breaker
themselves. I used white lettering on black tape. I then
cut out each label with a hole punch and placed these on
the individual breaker. Below are what the panels looked
like when completed.
The latest
project I have been working on is my second computer for
my flight simulator. After switching to Prepar3d
software from Microsoft Flight Simulator X and with the
the requirement for Direct X11 video cards to work with
Version 2.0 of Prepar3d I set out to build the ultimate
computer for my flight simulator. After a few months of
research I decided on the following components for my
Intel Core i7-4770K Haswell Quad-Core 3.5GHz LGA 1150
84W Desktop Processor Intel HD Graphics BX80646I74770K
ASUS MAXIMUS VI EXTREME LGA 1150 Intel Z87 HDMI SATA

Progress to Date 08/02/07
I have been doing a lot of work on my simulator that
does not show much progress in photos. I have been
working on installing a servo motor that will control
the roll of my sim. I had to make a modification to the
FMC bay in order to accommodate the larger servo motor
as well as two FDS CDU's and a 10.4 inch LCD. The FMC is
now complete and has been installed. In addition, I have
received the pedestal I ordered from Lausitz Aviation.
Next I will be working on installing the throttle
quadrant and attaching all of the cabling and servo and
stepper motors to make my throttle quadrant fully
Progress to Date 04/29/07
It has been a long time since I had my sim back together
so I wanted to take a few shots with the throttle
quadrant in place. I have finally finished installing
all of the pots needed with the exception of the
tiller pot. After almost two years of hard work I
honestly believe I will be able to start some
preliminary flying in my sim within the next few months.
Stay tuned for more updates in the months to come.
Progress to Date 03/10/07
After over 5 months of hard work I have finished the
first phase of refurbishing my 737-200 throttle quadrant
and converting it to a 737NG quadrant. The next phase
will be to add the necessary stepper motors, clutches
and cabling to make the quadrant fully functional. Below
are a few photos of the converted quadrant. For more
detailed photos and information on how the throttle
quadrant was refurbished and converted click on the
photo below for a direct link to the throttle quadrant
section of my website.
Progress to Date 07/21/06
Below are the latest photos of my sim after installing
the interior linings from cockpitsonic. I have some
additional work to do on them before they will be
completed, however I am very happy with the results so
far. Click on the photo below for a direct link to their
Progress to Date 07/05/06
Below is a photo of my sim after removing the ceiling. I
made this modification to the FDS nose sectional to
accommodate moving my sim in and out of my garage. This
will enable me to move my simulator when we relocate
after finishing graduate school.
I have finally finished installing my control columns
and yokes. They took a lot longer than I thought they
would due to the installation of the control loader, but
it was well worth the effort.
Before I could install the control loader the platform
had to be modified to accept the loader. Below is the
forward section of the platform modified to accept the
control loader.
Below is a photo of the control loader installed in the
forward section of the platform.
Below is the cut I made in order to complete the
modification to my FDS shell.
Progress to Date 04/24/06
Below are a few new photos of my flight deck with the
MIP in place. Also note the new rudder pedal assembly
below the MIP.
With the MIP in place it is really beginning to look
like a real flight deck.
The rudder pedal assembly below is my latest attempt to
redesign them to improve their feel and appearance.
Click on the photo below for a direct link to my rudder
pedal section for additional photos and information.
My 737 Nose Section from Flight Deck Solutions has come
along very nicely. I made a platform out of plywood to
reduce weight in the event I am able to eventually add
motion. Be sure to check out the fabrication page and
click on cockpit floor to view the construction of my
platform. Or click on the photo below for a direct link
to the fabrication page.
I am very proud of the Signature 737 NG Main Instrument
Panel from Flight Deck Solutions. It is pictured below
with 3 LCD's in place as well as an actual gear handle
from a 727/737. Note the flap indicator gauge as well as
the brake pressure gauge supplied by Flight Illusion. I
am awaiting my order of an Elite CDU from Flight Deck
Solutions and will add that as well as a lower EICAS LCD
screen once the CDU arrives. For additional information
and photos click on the link to panels above or click on
the photo below.
Below is a picture of my instrument stand. I modified
the plans slightly to accommodate the LCD's as well an
actual gear handle. Go to the fabrication page and
click on instrument stand or click on the photo below
for more detailed photos as well as a link to the plans.
Below is a picture of my progress to date of my rudder
pedal assembly. Now that my MIP is almost
complete, I am going back and redesigning my rudder
pedal assemblies. I decided I wanted a more realistic
feel than I was getting. Be sure to check out the flight
control section of my website and click on rudder pedals
or click on the photo below to see my latest design.

Mayfair & Pine (2218 Wisconsin Ave.) has closed, The Washington Post's Tom Sietsema reports. Chef Emily Sprissler had some tart parting words for the neighborhood, Sietsema writes:
Did competition do them in? "We did not have any competition when it came to food on the strip," says the chef. "No one had the chops, the creativity." People in the area, she adds, preferred getting meals "delivered to their door."
We'll give her this: that's a creative explanation for the restaurant's troubles.

June 21, 2011 VIDEO: A few beauty items for less than $5!
I recorded this using my Blackberry but the quality seems good. Also I sound like a man LOL not sure what the deal is there, must have been trying to keep my voice down? Anyway it was my first video and I hope to do more, let me know what you think!
April 24, 2011 A little weekend haul
I stopped in at Winners this weekend looking for some ELF palettes I had seen last time and not purchased. Unfortunately there were none left but I did manage to find a few other things!
First an OPI polish I had to have, I love the color! Like a dark plumish-red.
Lately I've been trying to find compact sized make-up or smaller sizes to put in my purse. I also take a bag with me to Shawn's on the weekend and would like to have to carry as little as possible. When I found this I fell in love! A small black clutch-like palettes with eyeshadows, blush, highlight and lip gloss!
And last but not least, I came across a 3-brush set from XOXO and I thought they were so cute! There is a foundation brush, powder brush and one for eyeshadow.
All those goodies and it cost me under $40! The eyeshadows are very nice and the nail polish looks great! Living in Canada, Winners is a great place to find beauty products for a much more affordable price!

So here it is, my ginormous book haul! Which by the way I bought from the month of July to September. I don't know why but I went a little bit crazy, I just bought a total of 56 books which doesn't include the book that I bought for my little brother (coz he loves to read too).Oh I didn't buy all of these books, some of them were sent to me by authors for review and some are prizes that I've won from giveaways. YAY! Without further adieu, let's get started…
ARCs (Advance Readers Copy) & Books sent by authors
I was just looking for authors who were giving out free ARCs of their book, I just got lucky that the author of Omega Lizzy Ford was giving out copies for bloggers to review.
People around Bookstagram had been raving about this book, luckily our local bookstore was having a contest on twitter and guess what? I joined and i won this advance readers copy of Dumplin by Julie Murphy.
I know nothing about this book, this is my second prize in the giveaway our local bookstore was sponsoring. Infinite in between by Carolyn Mackler
This was sent to me by the author, Amy Finnegan, for review. I can't wait to read it!
This book was sent by the author for review, and my review is now available here in my blog. Click here 🙂 I LOVE THIS BOOK!!
So I got these books randomly, I just thought that it might be cool if I read other genres aside from YA and contemporary. Well for me, I pretty much enjoy books that are not popular or hyped because I can freely share my opinion about it. Oh there's a classic by Jane Austen!
This is a shocker! I never thought that I would buy this series, EVER! I just think that I'm pretty satisfied with the whole movie trilogy that's why I've been avoiding to buy it. Plus it's not available in the popular bookstores here, I only bought it in a used-bookstore for only $6 for the whole trilogy! Hooray for that, I'm so happy that I finally have the copy of these books. 🙂
Books that i bought online
So here in the Philippines, some bookworms sell their used books via Instagram and we can easily transact with them by doing meet-ups. They sell their books at a very cheap price and the books are in good condition too.
Got these beauties for a very low price, $4 only! I have been eyeing Stolen for a very long time and thank god I found an online shop where I can buy it for an affordable price and I saw The Boy Next Door and I knew that I had to have it too.
Lately, I've been addicted to Booktube and some of my favs raved about Beauty Queens by Libba Bray so I instantly thought, I GOTTA HAVE IT!! And I also saw The Distance Between Us by Kasie West was on sale too, so I had to buy both of it.
I was so happy that I found an online shop where the owner sells her used ARCs, so I had to buy these books! Some of the newer titles were sold out 🙁
I'm studying at a university and every July they are host an event for students to join and participate in different booths and seminars, I never thought that the Political Science booth would have a book sale! I immediately run through the crowd and went straight to the book section because they were on sale!! I LOVE BOOK SALES
So I have been collecting these series for a very lobg time now I guess since I was in highshool. I really love horror stories especially when it's all about urban legends and folklore. I got lucky that I have a friend that was going to MIBF and I asked her if she could buy me books from this publishing house so i can finally complete my collection. She was the kindest!
My final haul for this month! I seriously went crazy because books were on sale for 20-50% off. Finally got the books that I've been dying to read, I was planning to buy more books but I had school projects that needs to be financed first.. Now I can say that I am really in a BOOK BUYING BAN until December! IT'S FINAL.
I hope you enjoy my collective book haul, I seriously need to start reading. I have a ton of books piled up on my TBR list, and I promised that I need to bring my TBR list to 0 by 2016. How do you keep track on your to-be-read list?

The knives are out for Rafa Benitez following Liverpool's shock exit from the FA Cup at the hands of Championship outfit Reading on Wednesday night. The cold hard fact (no pun intended) now facing Benitez is that the Anfield side failed to overcome the challenge of a side languishing in the bottom half of the Championship despite fielding a full-strength side up until the forced substitutions of Torres and Gerrard.
So what now for the Spaniard? Should he stay on and see out his contract at least until the end of the season and then walk if Liverpool fails to make the top four? Should Liverpool finally cut their ties with a manager who has guided the club to Champions League glory and runners-up spot in the Premier League only a season ago?
Three reasons Rafa might go:
Liverpool's shocking loss of form with virtually the same group of players at his disposal since last season's second place finish simply isn't good enough. The Red's pitiful exit from the Champions League group stages and difficulty in solidifying a top four finish suggests Rafa is unable to sufficiently motivate his players and may well have lost the dressing room.
Exiting the Champions League proved a severe body blow to the Spaniard as it was a tournament his teams consistently excelled in. The Spaniard's meticulous nature on the training pitch is no longer effective in getting the best out of a group of players who continue (as a squad) to play below their abilities.
The loss in form of both Steven Gerrard and Fernando Torres has proved catastrophic. Both players have proved injury-prone during the current campaign but neither of Liverpool's talismanic players have reached the heights of last season's performances (remember 4-1 at Old Trafford?).
Both Gerrard and Torres must surely have one eye on the upcoming World Cup and will want to be as fit as possible ahead of this summer's tournament. Benitez will be hard pressed to get the best out of either individual if all Liverpool have to play for is a top six finish.
The remainder of the Liverpool first team squad is struggling to muster a top four challenge never mind a tilt at the title and cannot carry the burden without Torres or Gerrard in the side.
Liverpool FC is currently unable to compete financially with the top dogs in the Premier League such as Manchester United, Chelsea and now Manchester City. The emergence of Man City as a top four pretender couldn't have come at a worse time for Benitez.
Add to that the continual boardroom bickering and recent furore over Hicks Jr.'s resignation and Liverpool continues to appear in the news for all the wrong reasons. A seemingly restricted transfer kitty has scuppered Benitez from spending big on quality international players, apart from Aquilani, but the jury is still out there.
For a club steeped in Shankly, Paisley and famed boot-room history, the continual negative headlines serve only to turn the heads of squad players and prevent potential transfer targets from considering Liverpool as a club worth signing for. In short, just when Benitez needed to flash the real cash, there is none available.
Three reasons Rafa might stay:
Details on Benitez's Liverpool contract suggest it will prove expensive for the Anfield hierarchy to part with their Spanish manager. Most Premier League clubs are somewhat reluctant to part with big transfer fees due to the world-wide recession and Liverpool are no
Even if Liverpool did decide to pay Benitez off, would the money owing to him impact on their immediate transfer budget?
The Spaniard is in the somewhat enviable position of knowing that irrespective of his side failing to finish in the top four his employers may decide to stick with him to avoid a costly payout. Only increased fan pressure might eventually force the board's hand but until then Benitez could still be in charge at the beginning of next season.
One heartening point for the beleaguered Spanish manager in his current plight is that no viable alternative is available to take his place. Guus Hiddink was mentioned on more than one occasion in the last fortnight but has since decided to move to Juventus in an effort to revitalise the \'Grand Old Lady' of Serie A.
Jose Mourinho is another candidate but previous spats with Liverpool while in charge of Chelsea seemingly rule out the \'special one'. Apart from those two, only the likes of Jurgen Klinnsman, Frank Rijkaard and even Marcelo Lippi would likely be considered for the post.
Kenny Dalglish would be most Liverpool supporters' choice but is unlikely to want to return to the rigours of club management having been away from the role for some years.
The Real Madrid job is something Benitez apparently covets but the job is not available – for now. Manuel Pelligrini is doing a surprisingly decent job in the hot seat at the Bernabeau and Real look like title contenders to Barcelona this season.
Should Real fail in their quest to claim back the Primera Liga title this term then there is no doubt Pelligrini will be politely asked to step aside and Benitez's will be one of the names on the top of Madrid's list to take over.
Leaving Liverpool – despite their current predicament – for the soap opera of looking after Madrid's Galactico's may not be the most appealing of assignments when you consider the job instability that accompanies the role.
Still, Benitez would find it hard to turn down such an offer with a bottomless transfer kitty to look after but the job stability of the Madrid role is worse than any other big club in the world.
At least at Liverpool Benitez may yet be given more time. Were he in charge of Real and had embarked on the horrific run Liverpool have endured of late, you can be certain he would have been sacked by now.
Whatever happens to Rafa Benitez in the coming months the Spaniard has revitalised Liverpool after the horror show that was Gerard Houllier. Liverpool's renowned loyalty to their managers is being severely tested right now but is a more suitable alternative available to the Anfield hierarchy?
I don't think so and I expect Benitez to remain at the helm until at least the end of the season. Unless the pressure becomes too much for the Liverpool board then expect Benitez to remain in charge.
For now.

Embryologic, Histologic, and Anatomic Aspects
More than 70% of the dry weight of the normal dermis consists of collagen (Fig. 1.79). The major collagens are Type I and Type III. Type I collagen has a molecular mass of about 290 KDa and accounts for approximately 80% of the total amount of collagen in the dermis. Type I collagen is arranged in a dense orthogonal meshwork of bundles in the reticular dermis. Type III collagen makes up approximately 10% of dermal collagen, it being called also fetal collagen because it is noted first in embryonic dermis where it serves as a framework on which Type I collagen subsequently is synthesized. Collagen of Type III appears principally as loosely arranged argyrophilic fibers in the adventitial dermis, that being a continuum formed by the papillary and periadnexal dermis. Although Type III collagen, known, too, as reticulin, is found in the adventitial dermis especially, it is present throughout the entire dermis, being associated closely with Type I collagen. Together, Types I and III collagen form the extracellular fibers that are responsible largely for the tensile strength of the dermis. Mutations in genes in Types I and III collagen may result in abnormalities of connective tissue both in the skin and in joints, as well as in other tissues, in different expressions of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, and in fragility of bone in osteogenesis imperfecta.
Figure 1.79
Collagen fibrils cut longitudinally have a structure distinctly different from that of the elastic fibril pictured, the latter consisting of noncollagenous microfibrils embedded in homogenous elastin. (x55,000) (Courtesy of Richard Wood, Ph.D.)
Type II collagen is found in cartilage. Type IV collagen is a constituent of basement membrane and is located especially in the lamina densa. The alpha 5 chain of type IV collagen has been shown to be a target of circulating IgG autoantibodies in a novel autoimmune disease characterized by sudden onset of extensive subepidermal bullae in company with lesions of mucosa and by nephropathy. Type V collagen accounts for less than 5% of all collagen in the dermis. Mutations in genes of Type V collagen have been discovered in patients with autosomal dominant forms (Type I and Type II) of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. Type VI collagen may be copious in a variety of tissues, including skin where it is assembled into relatively thin microfibrils that form a network which acts as an anchor for stabilizing the assembly of broad collagen fibers, as well as serving as a basement membrane. Mutations in Type VI collagen may result in different manifestations of congenital muscular dystrophy, with no distinctive phenotype in the skin but with limited joint mobility.
Type VII collagen is produced mostly by keratocytes, from which it is transported across the basement membrane at the dermoepithelial junction to its final destination, that is, anchoring fibrils in the papillary dermis. In the papillary dermis, Type VII collagen interacts with anchoring plaques at one end and with Type IV collagen and/or laminin 5 components of the basement membrane at the dermoepidermal junction at the other, thereby stabilizing the attachment of the basement membrane to the dermis. Alteration in the expression, structure, or molecular interactions of Type VII collagen with other components of the basement membrane may cause the skin to be fragile. Absence of and/or abnormalities in Type VII collagen and anchoring fibrils have been demonstrated in the dominant form of epidermolysis bullosa, and in some cases of the severe recessive dystrophic form, a group of heritable bullous diseases typified by blistering of the skin in response to minor trauma.
Type XIII collagen is transmembrane protein, an expression of which has been detected in normal skin and in cultured keratocytes. It is localized to the dermoepidermal junction and to the periphery of keratocytes that reside at all layers of the epidermis, thereby identifying Type XIII collagen as a cell adhesion molecule that may play a part in enabling keratocytes to adhere to one another. Type XVI collagen, a member of the fibril-associated collagens with interrupted triple helices, is produced not only by fibrocytes, but by keratocytes. It is a component of the extracellular matrix and is confined to a narrow zone in the papillary dermis near the basement membrane, in close proximity to Type VII collagen and to collagen of blood vessels. Type XVII collagen is a transmembrane protein characterized by alternating segments, collagenous and noncollagenous. It was recognized initially as the 180 KDa bullous pemphigoid antigen 2, a constituent of anchoring filaments at the basement membrane, and now is known to be one of the targets of circulating IgG autoantibodies in the serum of some patients with bullous pemphigoid, herpes gestationis, linear IgA dermatosis, and cicatricial pemphigoid.
Fibroplasia, a process in which fibrocytes, increased in number during the active phase of it, manufacture collagen organized abnormally, is an expected finding in some kinds of inflammatory diseases of the skin, e.g., those that occur secondary to trauma, such as scars, keloids, and dermatofibromas; those marked by extensive suppuration and subsequent degeneration of collagen, such as ruptured epidermal (infundibular) and follicular (isthmus-catagen) cysts, deep fungal infections and atypical mycobacterial infections, and pyoderma gangrenosum; and those typified by long-standing lichenoid infiltrates of lymphocytes, such as lichen planus, disseminated superficial actinic porokeratosis, and some examples of the lichenoid purpura of Gougerot and Blum (and the neoplastic process, mycosis fungoides, during the patch/plaque stage) and of bandlike infiltrates of plasma cells, as in acrodermatitis chronica atrophicans.

9: Garry was a cute kid - but I don't know what is most captivating about this photo: Garry's smile or Bernadette's amazing hairdo........
10: Ok, without a doubt, Dette's hair wins!
11: For Garry, the game of choice has always been basketball.
12: Graduating from Kearney High
14: Garry the photographer
15: Getting Ready For His First Sky Dive
16: We were married on July 2, 1983
18: For our first Christmas together, we chose to borrow | a car and drive across the country and celebrate the holidays with my parents in Kentucky.
19: Unfortunately, we ran into a few car problems. First there was engine trouble in Arizona and on the same night that our tire went flat, I accidently locked the keys in the car.
20: We hadn't hadn't lived in California for very long, but Garry must have quickly caught on to the ripped clothing rage. Or maybe he thought wearing these long-johns would keep him warm while we were on our visit to Kentucky.
21: Garry, Joe and Dave going over the books for our small church in Davis, California Garry enjoying Old Sacramento
22: Our '68 Dodge Dart - Sold to John Scanlon for $1.00
23: Marriage made a hungry man out of Garry... | ...it's that sixth pancake that will get you every time!
24: After we sold the dart, we drove around Davis, CA on our moped.....well, that is, until it was stolen. Then we walked! | This was the cover for our first album ....actually, it was a "before" picture that we took prior to having our hair cut. But then we forgot to take the "after" photo.
25: Garry's 27th Birthday! We treated him to a musical extravaganza and a cake "just like mom made!" | Our bedroom doubled as Garry's first office. The telephone was his dear friend.
26: "Blue Blazer, I saw you standing alone, without a Maranatha boy, that you could call your own....."
27: During our first years of marriage, our salary was less than a thousand dollars a month - yet we always had such great times with each other. We had enrolled in the school of hard knocks without even realizing it! We're still working towards our diplomas.
28: After the Dart and the Moped, we bought our first "adult" car - our Volvo Sedan! | I think we had it for about a week when the transmission went out & we found out how expensive it is to be an adult!
29: Two ridiculous incidents in our lives... | ...Garry preaching as a clown (to get everyone's attention) and me trying to ski.
30: But life just got better and better... | soon we were expecting our first child!
31: It was quite a pregnancy - | Yes, that memorable trip to Yosemite ....
32: Eight months pregnant and riding around in the backseat of Norm's little car....what a memory.......... | ...But we were together! Still, that was the only positive thing about that trip.
33: Our first child, Laura Catherine Senna, was born on October 3, 1985.
34: And then there were two... Elizabeth Ashley Senna was born on August 4, 1987
35: Daddy and his girl
38: We were having a great time, but we were ready for an even greater challenge..
39: So Garry started working out - getting himself ready!
40: And here he is! Michael Anderson Senna was born on July 9, 1990
41: Daddy was thrilled to have a name-sake.
42: The day after Michael was born, Garry brought Catherine and Elizabeth to the hospital to meet their new brother. Only Garry would bring his beautiful daughters to a hospital dressed as though they were going swimming.
43: Father and son
47: Our favorite part of visiting "Old Faithful" was the delicious ice cream from the shop right next to the geyser. If we ever wondered who is messier - girls or boys, now we know - boys really are messier!
48: As time goes by...
49: And keeps on going by!
51: Time and the lack of scanned photos stopped me from bringing this book completely up to date. I've left out a lot, but that just leaves me with a reason to put together another book. . We've traveled a lot, worked on our home a lot, lived a lot and loved a lot. Garry, Thank you for 24 great years!

The light emission produced near the surface of fused silica following laser-induced breakdown on the exit surface was spatially and spectrally resolved. This signal is in part generated by ejected particles while traveling outside the hot ionized region. The thermal emission produced by the particles can be separated from the plasma emission near the surface and its spectral characteristics provide information on the temperature of the particles after ejection from the surface. Assuming the emission is thermal in origin, data suggest an initial average temperature on the order of at least 0.5 eV.

Indian Institute of Corporate Affairs (IICA), Ministry of Corporate Affairs in partnership with Samabhavana, an NGO, is organising "Global Conference on Corporate Social Responsibility - India" (www.globalconferenceoncsrindia.org) on 16th and 17th April, 2013 at the Lotus Room, Hotel Trident, Nariman Point, Mumbai.
LAST FEW SEATS, REGISTER FOR RS 6,000 ONLY FOR GUIDESTAR INDIA NGOs
About the conference:
Samabhavana being an NGO understands the difficulties in fundraising, and hence it has designed this conference keeping in mind the needs of NGOs and the difficulties faced while interacting with Corporates. With the introduction of the Companies Bill and the new provisions on Corporate Social Responsibility in the Parliament, there is a need for dialogue between the Corporates and Civil Society.
The shift in how CSR is being perceived now has been possible due to the initiatives undertaken by the government, financial institutions, NGOs and other stakeholders. With the changing scenario, companies will need to reconsider their existing CSR strategy. An increasing number of companies are interested in making their business operations sustainable and at the same time are struggling to establish clear processes that would help them set goals, measure, monitor and report CSR. The objective of the Conference is to bring together Government, Corporates and the Civil Society plan for a better India.

Robert Dudley Best drew the first drafts of the lamp that would later become synonymous with his name when he studied to become an industrial designer in Paris and Düsseldorf. As the lamp was the first example of Bauhaus in the UK, strong arguments were needed before the lamp could be put into production. The lamp was produced by the manufacturing firm Best & Lloyd, founded by Best's family in 1840. After mention in the prominent architectural magazine Architects' Journal, the architectural community opened its eyes to the lamp's potential. Bestlite gained everlasting fame when Winston Churchill placed one on his desk in Whitehall.
The Bestlite organization and brand is part of the Danish design company GUBI. The headquarters of the company and our 50 employees are situated in a 2000 m2 showroom and office in the Copenhagen Free Port.

Updated Jan. 4 at 4:18 p.m.: The Jan. 6 date for Vicki Lawrence and Mama: A Two-Woman Show has been postponed due to the star's "serious bout with the flu." The show is now scheduled for Feb. 2. In an email to ticketholders, "The Arlington Music Hall is offering a full refund to its customers, if you choose not to attend the Feb. 2nd performance."
Vicki Lawrence is not done.
Already on the list of comedy icons, she's popping up this year in some hot properties. There is her guest-starring turn on Great News. And there's recent news that she'll co-star in The Cool Kids, a pilot for Fox.
Audiences may not have seen her name in credits for a while before that. She was busy. There was the 50th anniversary of the seminal Carol Burnett Show.
She was just a senior in high school when she joined the show, playing against established comedy all-stars.
"I like to say I went to the Harvard school of comedy," she says.
She also did the commentary tracks for -- finally -- the release of Mama's Family on DVD. And she is the face of "CIU & You," a campaign to raise awareness about chronic idiopathic urticaria. The illness, a form of chronic hives, "impacts approximately 1.5 million people in the U.S.," according to the campaign website.
And -- here's where you'll sit up and take notice -- she's constantly on the road with "Vicki Lawrence and Mama: A Two Woman Show." The tour will come to Arlington Music Hall (224 N. Center St.) on Feb. 2 at 7:30 p.m.
Mama goes topical, taking on current events and old comfortable shoes. Lawrence brings herself, and some songs. Hopefully, that will include gold record "The Night the Lights Went Out in Georgia."
"More like a one-hit wonder," she insists when her singing career is mentioned.
Never one to sit on her laurels, she wants to be even busier.
"Tell Tyler Perry to call me," she says.
A meeting of Mama and Madea? Well, that would be something.

Serena survives, Sharapova out
For the third match in a row at the French Open, Serena Williams was oddly out of sorts at the outset and dropped the opening set.
And for the third match in a row, almost as though this was the plan all along, Williams righted herself to pull out a victory.
In a riveting, two-hour showdown between the last two American women in the draw, the No. 1-ranked and No. 1-seeded Williams was a game away from defeat yesterday, then came back to beat Sloane Stephens 1-6, 7-5, 6-3.
Williams reached the quarterfinals and avoided joining defending champion Maria Sharapova on the way out of Roland Garros.
"It's not how you start, I guess. It's how you finish," Williams said. "That's kind of how I'm looking at it".
Either Williams, in 2013, or Sharapova, in 2012 and 2014, has won the French Open the past three years. Only Williams has a chance to do it again on Saturday because the second-seeded Sharapova was outplayed throughout a 7-6 (3), 6-4 loss to 13th-seeded Lucie Safarova.
"My opponent had a different gear than I did," Sharapova said after her earliest exit at Roland Garros since 2010.
Sharapova did not use the cold she has been dealing with as an excuse, saying: "I don't like to talk about it, and I don't think it really makes a difference."
In her first French Open quarter-final, Safarova will face No. 21 Garbine Muguruza of Spain, who beat No. 28 Flavia Pennetta of Italy 6-3, 6-4.
Djokovic vs Nadal
On a day full of tennis' biggest names, the Big 4 of the men's game - Roger Federer, Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal, and Andy Murray - all won. The top-seeded Djokovic and nine-time French Open champion Nadal will play in the quarter-finals tomorrow, a rematch of last year's final.
Nadal eliminated the last U.S. man, Jack Sock, 6-3, 6-1, 5-7, 6-2, while Djokovic had no trouble in a 6-1, 6-2, 6-3 win over Richard Gasquet.
Federer needed about an hour to finish his 6-3, 4-6, 6-4, 6-1 victory over GaÎl Monfils in a match suspended because of darkness after the second set Sunday. Federer next faces Swiss Davis Cup teammate Stan Wawrinka, and Murray will play 2013 French Open runner-up David Ferrer.

I was recently invited before a House of Commons Committee to testify before the Standing Committee on Health about wireless technology. I gave a 10 minute presentation discussing the IARC report, the meaning of a Class 2b Possible Carcinogen, and the overall less than impressive evidence that non-ionizing radiation is linked with cancer causation ("oncogenesis" is the fancy word). I also discussed the universally rejected diagnosis of Electrohypersensitivity Syndrome (EHS) and how the symptoms, under controlled conditions, are reliably provoked by the perception of being exposed to WiFi, but never by actual exposure.
As you might imagine, I was prepared to answer questions about the data and the research findings. So, what were those questions? Why, about my investment portfolio, of course! Who knew the Standing Committee on Health took such an intimate interest in the private investment portfolios of witnesses it has invited to appear?
I. Medeo Corporation
Mr. Terence Young (Oakville, CPC):
Thank you, Chair. Dr. Tarzwell, we just heard about the paramount importance of objectivity in scientific evaluation of technology from Dr. Leszczynski. We know that when you publish an academic paper, the expert reveals all potential conflicts of interest as part of that publication. In the interest of objectivity, could you please identify to the committee your business enterprises that you're personally involved in, if any, that depend on Wi-Fi, cellular signals, or other wireless technology to succeed?
Dr. Rob Tarzwell:
I'd be happy to do that. I am a shareholder in a mobile gaming company called Hothead Games, based out of Vancouver, British Columbia. I was an investor in a telemedicine company called Medeo, which has subsequently been acquired.
What I wish I had added to this answer: at a 50% loss.
II. Hothead Games
Mr. Terence Young:
I'm just looking at Medeo corporation, which you say has been acquired, and a quote from one of their, I guess, flyers or their statement of purpose, says, "With Medeo.ca, Canadian medical care joins the mobile revolution". A quote from the statement of purpose for Hothead Games says, "to create and publish great games exclusively for mobile users."
What I wish I had answered: I acquired my shares in Hothead in 2007, before mobile gaming existed. It is a private company, and a very close friend was one of the founding employees. I believe in, and invested in, his work ethic and vision. Hothead constitutes 5% of my total portfolio. It is a global business, so only approximately 5% of Hothead's business is to Canadian consumers. If all mobile devices in Canada were outlawed tomorrow, my portfolio would therefore drop by 5% of 5%: 0.25%.
III. One Minute Medical School
Mr. Terence Young:
Do you have any interest in the One Minute Medical School?
Dr. Rob Tarzwell:
I'm the creator of One Minute Medical School. That's a YouTube channel with short videos on medical topics.
Mr. Terence Young:
These would be videos watched by people who are interested, laypersons or medical students, mostly on hand-held devices. Is that right?
Dr. Rob Tarzwell:
In terms of the composition of the audience, that I don't really know. I assume there will be some viewership on mobile devices.
What I wish I had added: Thus far, total payments from Google for advertising revenue on One Minute Medical School: $200.00. Total investment of my own time to date: 500 hours
IV. Many Eggs in the Wireless Basket
Mr. Terence Young:
A lot of eggs in the wireless basket, that's for sure.
Dr. Rob Tarzwell:
You could say so. You'd be hard-pressed to find anyone who's not sort of intimately connected with wireless technology. If any of those are a significant conflict—
What I wish I had added: Yes, if by "many" eggs you mean "three" very tiny, pathetic eggs.
V. A Conflict of Interest?
Mr. Terence Young:
They are. I'm just saying there might be a potential conflict. Would it be fair to say that any regulatory actions that the government might take regarding wireless communications or Safety Code 6 might significantly affect your business success in these enterprises?
Dr. Rob Tarzwell:
Speculating, I suppose that's possible. I suspect not, but of course, it's hard to read the future. I certainly have to concede the possibility
What I wish I had added: One "business success" went rotten and incurred a 50% loss. The second "business success" is a very small piece of my portfolio, and Canadian WiFi affects its worth by a maximum of 0.25%. The third "business success" is a story of how I found fame on the Internet by working for 40 cents per hour. I'd be quite happy to pad it with those Big WiFi cheques. So far the mailbox is empty.
VI. And How do We Deal with Potential Conflicts of Interest?
Mr. Terence Young:
Is there a possibility of a potential conflict of interest when you present your credentials as an objective scientist to this committee, rather than in your other role as a business investor in a technology that depends on wireless?
Dr. Rob Tarzwell:
Yes, and it's extremely important to be as clear as possible and as honest as possible to the data and the evidence, which is why I've provided the documentation from the sources that I'm relying upon directly, so that the committee can peruse these in significant depth, rather than simply just relying on the pull-quotes that I've assembled today.
Mr. Young, your bias is showing.

These sites offer bets for beginners right through to prop bets and parlays for those with a little more experience placing wagers. The most popular bets, however, remain the money line, run line and over/under run total.
The odds will change with the betting action as millions of dollars are wagered on the most important games of the season.

World Series Run Line
The run line is like a point spread on a football game. The line for World Series run lines is 1.5. With a 1.5 run line you will be able to place a wager on the favored team to win by two runs or more, or the underdog team to lose by one run or to win the game outright.
World Series Money Lines
Win and you're in, lose and you're out — that's the money line. This wager has odds attached to the favorite and underdog to determine the payout of winning bets. As in all other wagers, the payout on the favorites will be less than that of the underdog.
World Series Over Under
The over/under bet is a wager where oddsmakers predict the total number of runs for a given game. If a bettor thinks it's going to be a pitchers' duel, they will likely bet the under. If this is a friendly stadium for hitters, bettors will likely play the over. Just add up the score at the end of the game to see who wins.
World Series Futures
You can wager on the home team to win the World Series before the season even starts — that's a futures bet. Now you have months of excitement until you know the outcome of your bet. Odds can change on futures bets as the season progresses, but your odds are fixed when you make your wager.
World Series Player Props
A prop bet is a side bet. It often has nothing to do with the outcome of the game or World Series. How many hits will a certain player collect, how many innings will the home team's ace pitch in Game 1, how many home runs will the home team hit? These are all prop bets. You decide whose side you're on in the bet.
