Triumph of America
Triumph of Independence of the United States
William Birch, American (born England), 1755 - 1834
Made in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States, North and Central America
Enamel on copper; gold frameDimensions:
1 7/16 x 2 3/16 inches (3.6 x 5.6 cm)Curatorial Department:
American ArtObject Location:
Currently not on viewAccession Number:
1912-104Credit Line:
Purchased with the Joseph E. Temple Fund, 1912
The scene on this brooch is based on a print after Julia Plantou's painting The Treaty of Ghent and The Triumph of America, which celebrated the United States' victory over Great Britain in the War of 1812. America is personified as an Indian princess, shown holding the American flag as she passes beneath a victory arch on her way to the Temple of Peace. A young woman throws flowers in her path and an eagle leads the way.
Although adapted to be worn as a brooch, William Birch's accounts suggest this piece was originally made as the top for a small box. Having mastered the difficult and time-consuming art of enameling in his native London, Birch continued to produce these durable and jewel-like objects in the United States. He is best known, however, for his engraved views in The City of Philadelphia. . ., published in 1800 with an eye to promoting the city through renderings of its handsome architecture.

Marshal Grissom walked into a Caney Valley Bass Club meeting because he was willing to use his boat to help the high-schoolers who shared his love of fishing. Grissom left that meeting as the team's head coach.
Grissom is the latest person to be featured in Arvest Bank's People Helping People video series. The series is designed to celebrate individuals in the communities we Arvest serves who are uniquely making a difference.
Caney Valley High School is located in the northeastern Oklahoma town of Ramona, and its fishing club has proven to be a perfect fit for Grissom. An avid fisherman for as long as he can remember, Grissom believes his favorite hobby not only has life lessons to offer the students he helps, but in some cases, could be a life-changing activity.
"The way the sport of fishing has grown, just in our state alone there are probably well over a dozen collegiate bass fishing teams," Grissom said. "There are colleges recruiting at our tournaments to go onto that next level."
Some of Caney Valley's team members have already received college scholarship offers, a path that may not have been available to them if it weren't for their competitive fishing experience. The lure of a scholarship has kept team member Grayson Atchison sharpening his angling skills. His goal is to one day attend Northeastern State University on a fishing scholarship.
"Honestly I would say Marshal's my mentor for fishing. He kind of helped me out with a lot of tournament skills that I needed." Atchison said. "If it wasn't for Marshal, we probably wouldn't have this club."
Grissom is driven by a need to take action and help others. He believes in taking the initiative when you have the opportunity to change people's lives.
"I've always wanted to not just sit back and watch life go by," he said. "I wanted to be a person that did something. And these kids have really given me that opportunity. The most rewarding thing for me is just being out there on the water with these kids. And getting to see them, the joy they have for fishing."
Watch* Grissom and the fishing team in action. Keep an eye on our social media channels for videos highlighting the good works of dedicated citizens in the communities Arvest Bank serves.

Here's hoping the Jasmine Revolution improves upon the legacy of Habib Bourguiba, the nation's first president.
By Christopher Hitchens
"Visiting Tunisia three years ago, I thought that it was easy enough to see the main problem. The state was publicly dedicated to modernity and secularism and development—what used so long ago to be called "Westernization"—but it didn't really trust its citizens to be grown-ups."

Christopher Hitchens (1949 - 2011) was an Anglo-American author and journalist. His books made him a prominent public intellectual and a staple of talk shows and lecture circuits. He was a columnist and literary critic at Vanity Fair, Slate, The Atlantic, World Affairs, The Nation, Free Inquiry and a variety of other media outlets. He was named one of the world's "Top 100 Public Intellectuals" by Foreign Policy and Britain's Prospect.

POTENTIAL SPOILERS AHEAD. Mass Effect 3 could get a new piece of downloadable content revolving around a Reaper named Leviathan, according to files extracted by a BioWare forum poster yesterday.
According to the files, which were extracted from yesterday's "Extended Cut" DLC and dumped on Pastebin, you'll have to rescue a scientist from a colony that is under the control of a Reaper named Leviathan. Leviathan has apparently broken free from the rest of the Reapers to do his own thing.
One purported line reads: "So a Reaper goes rogue and kills one of its own. That's what we're looking at here, right?"
Another: "If Leviathan is a defector — a Reaper that broke away from the others — then it is also a traitor."
I contacted BioWare for comment this morning and received this statement: "We don't comment on rumours or speculation. There will be news about more DLC coming soon…"

Sebastian Barry's "The Pride of Parnell Street" is the Irish version of a shaggy dog story: it takes a long time to make its point. Typical of Irish plays, the mood is somber at best, and the characters are often sad and downtrodden. Also typical of the Irish, their spirit is always strong.
"The Pride of Parnell Street," which is getting its America premiere through April 17 at Ambler's Act II Playhouse, is a series of alternating monologues by Janet Brady (Kittson O'Neill) and her husband Joe (David Whelan).
Their life together starts out well — they adore each other and their three boys — but deteriorates after two things happen: their oldest son is killed in an automobile accident at age 6, and the Irish soccer team is eliminated from World Cup competition in the late 1980s.
After the latter Joe comes home — for once sober — and seeing that his wife was wearing his favorite team's jersey, he beats the bejeezus out of her for reasons never made clear. She flees to her parents' house with the two surviving sons. Joe's life deteriorates. He ends up in jail as an accessory to a murder. He also becomes a drug addict. The play is set in 1999 Dublin, so when he gets sick from dirty needles, one can only assume that the virus he gets is HIV.
Back and forth the monologues go. Well written and well delivered, they illuminate the characters and their situation, both past and present. What they aren't, at least to my eye and ear, is very dramatic.
Director Harriet Power does a good job keeping her actors moving when they are speaking, and the acting is superb. In spite of that, for the first 85 minutes of the 90-minute one-act, it's all pretty static. In those last five minutes the two characters actually connect in Joe's hospital room. He — again it's inexplicable to me — not only reports what he's saying but what Janet, standing right there, is saying as well. Go figure.
Playwright Barry is a talented writer who has created two interesting Irish characters. I wish I had seen them interact a bit more. Oh well.
Dirk Durosette (set), James Leitner (lighting), Charlotte Cloe Fox Wind (costumes) and Robert Kaplowitz (music and sound) were the impressive designers.

Who knew that a 2 minute ice check drone video could be so hauntingly beautiful? Rick Elrod shot and edited the video March 28th on Little Bay de Noc in Gladstone, Michigan. Escanaba Nite sailor Terry Reynolds, Menekaunee sailors Mike Derusha and Ken Kreider, and a few others inspected the ice for International Skeeter Association regatta. The 2:13 minute mark shows exactly why the regatta was postponed but there's plenty of ice. Many thanks to Terry Reynolds and friends from Escanaba and Gladstone who took the time to check the ice for the ISA.

One of the best women rodeo stunt and trick riders in the 1920s and 30s was Bonnie Gray.
She later became a movie stuntwoman, and according to the National Cowboy Museum, doubled for Tim McCoy, Tom Mix, Hoot Gibson and Ken Maynard.
In 1930 she married Donald Harris, also a trick rider, in a pasture near Los Angles. The wedding party and all 100 guests were on horseback.

Posts Tagged 'Dopedrone & Naked On My Own'
Soundtrack2 Ep. 99: Explosion
Errors, Pontiak, Rancho Relaxo, Bright Channel, Paul Weller & more
No jangling harmonies this week as we go deep and dark.
1. Pond – Fantastic Explosion Of Time
Blast of psychedelic pop from members of S2 faves Tame Impala. Can definitely hear some of their signature guitar sound here too.
2. Pontiak – Left with Lights
Bombastic track from their fabulous new Echo Ono album. Facemelters unite!
3. Paul Weller – Around The Lake
Not sure if his Farfisa psych song is a parody or an homage, but thought I'd throw it on since he's coming to Toronto soon.
4. Free Electric State – We'll Have A Great Funeral (When You Die)
Isn't it great how waves of feedback transform a straight-up indie rock tune?
5. Al Lover – Death Ride In San Francisco
January's Heavy Hippies has a lot of samples from well-known classic rock jams. Like this one because the riff isn't easy to pick out and the bassline just kills.
6. Illogical Time Concerns – Copac
Former Collider bandmates get freaky on this gem from their latest Sea Ex.
7. Queens Of The Stone Age – River In The Road
Always liked this slightly trippy tune from Era Vulgaris.
8. Rancho Relaxo – I Want You
A new one from this excellent band's Happy Friday Experiment. Great acoustic psych drone.
9. The Blue Angel Lounge – Die Away As One In Time
Loveliness: "I wanna hold you forever…"
10. Swoon 23 – Fire Hanger
Dark rock and roll from 1997's Legendary Ether Pony.
11. Dopedrone & Naked On My Own – Tunnel
Epic headtrip about the journey inside a mind. Turn off the lights for this one.
12. DeadCAT – Evitan
Love this Atlanta band's dark glitchy groove.
13. Surji – Scream Of A Wean
This murky tune comes off the aptly-named Existentialism.
14. Bright Channel – Airborne
The guitars come out again. Sounds like Yo La Tengo in a sinister mood.
15. Air Formation – In Formation
Soaring dream pop from this band that called it a day last year.
16. Errors – Magna Encarta
Scottish label mates of Mogwai and Part Chimp head skyward. Check out their solid latest album Have Some Faith In Magic.

Oprah Winfrey, "Beasts of the Southern Wild" receive Black Women in Hollywood awards
Nine-year-old Oscar nominee Quvenzhane Wallis toted a plush, dog-shaped purse with jeweled handles as she rubbed shoulders with Oprah Winfrey and Alfre Woodard.
The star of best-picture contender "Beasts of the Southern Wild" was among the honorees Thursday at Essence magazine's sixth annual Black Women in Hollywood awards luncheon.
Standing on a step so she could speak at the podium, Quvenzhane thanked God, "Beasts" director Behn Zeitlin and "my baby sitter that was on set."
Quvenzhane is the youngest best-actress nominee in Oscar history and one of only 10 African-Americans ever recognized in the category.
Winfrey was teary-eyed as she took the stage after being introduced by the graduating class of her namesake Leadership Academy for Girls in South Africa.
"I am humbled by this day," she said. "There's nothing better than being honored by your own."
Essence President Michelle Ebanks said the afternoon's honorees "are changing the very definition of power" with their presence in Hollywood.
Woodard said she always recognized herself in the pages of Essence and recalled that when she and actresses C.C.H. Pounder and Loretta Divine first arrived in Hollywood, "they didn't know what to do with (us)."
"We were young and gifted and looking way the hell black," Woodard said. "And we still have our original noses!"
Actress Gabrielle Union moved the audience as she accepted the Fierce & Fearless award. Union said she had long pretended to be fierce and fearless but actually reveled in gossip and "took joy in people's pain and tap-danced on their misery." She said she posed for photos in such a way to "minimize my blackness" and didn't speak out against racism in school or in Hollywood when she was younger.
"Real fearless and fierce women admit mistakes and work to correct them," she said. "We stand up and we use our voices for things other than self-promotion. We don't stand by and let racism and sexism and homophobia run rampant on our watch. Real fierce and fearless women celebrate and compliment other women and we recognize and embrace the notion that their shine in no way diminishes our light, and actually makes our light shine brighter."
Actress Naomie Harris, who plays Eve Moneypenny in "Skyfall," was among those touched by Union's words.
"I'm in the place you were," Harris said as she accepted the Shining Star award. "I feel as though I have traveled thousands of miles to actually listen to that speech, to learn, to be inspired and to be reminded of who I am."
Writer-producer Mara Brock-Akil cried throughout her acceptance speech, saying, "All I ever wanted to do was tell our story."
Other stars attending the luncheon at the Beverly Hills Hotel included Blair Underwood, Laila Ali, Star Jones, Jill Scott and Tracee Ellis Ross.
Grammy-winning singer Miguel performed his winning hit, "Adore," and rapper-actor Common did an impromptu freestyle during a brief technical difficulty, working the names of the six honorees into a quick rap.

"Wow" is the one word to describe my recent experience at the NBC/U.S. Olympic Committee promotional shoot for the 2014 Olympic Winter Games. By no means am I famous, or have any excess money to spend, nor do I deserve any special treatment in my daily life; however, this event made me feel like a rock-star! I couldn't believe how amazing the experience was. I had my own personal handler (which is a fancy word for an assistant) for the day, but I think they call them handlers due to how they straight up handle you. There isn't much assisting; it's a lot of them telling you it is time to move and where to go.
Starting at 9 in the morning I met my handler, who directed me into a lifestyle room or stage area. I was greeted with a round of applause and way more energy than I had expected. They had a piano there for me to play! Um… how did they know that I had made up a song on the piano as a kid? Because I sure didn't know how to play officially! I was mortified, but went through with it. I opened my set with chopsticks of course, because it is still my favorite scene in the movie "Big." Once that was done, the rest of the day seemed to be filled with surprises with people asking me questions about every aspect of my life. Not to mention, I got to get my hair and makeup done! This is most women's dream, but for me I was just curious to see what I'd look like when I just went for it and movie-starred my face. Some athletes asked them not to put a whole lot of makeup on, which I understand because I rarely wear it, but instead I said make it all pop – let's go theatrical with it! I even had them paint the scar on my leg to look even scarier than it already does. I figured after four surgeries on my left knee there was no way to hide it, so I should probably just make it pop and own it, and that was the theme of the day.
The entire day was me being me. I let my big legs show in short dresses, I let all my scars pop, I laughed at myself, and showed as much love as I could to my family and friends that have helped me along the way to the Olympics. In fact, I was really lucky to have one of my friends with me, and I honestly don't know if I would have made it through the promo shoot without her. There were more interviews than I can count in the eight hours we were there. There was one shoot where they shove you in a room and say you have 10 minutes, GO! I was changing outfits as fast as I possibly could, and am pretty sure I would have ended up like my buddy Nate Holland yelling, "I lost my pants! Seriously, I need my pants, any one know where my pants are?" by the end of the day if she hadn't been there. In conclusion, I feel blessed to have had the opportunity to share my story, experience a bit of humility, and see what it would be like if I was ever famous.

This 63-year old California man has some intestinal fortitude. Rather than wait for a doctor to repair his hernia, he decided to fix it himself ... with a butter knife.
The wife of the ailing man called the police for help after the dreadful self-surgery. The officers found the man butt-naked on a lounge chair with a butter knife protruding from his stomach. He was lucid, cooperative, and even pulled out the knife when asked. His name was not released but the officers did confirm he was receiving proper care at USC Medical centre, in the psychiatric ward. [MSNBC; Shutterstock/Multiart]

Klipsch Music Centers - wireless personal music systems
Klipsch speakers have always possessed a unique ability, with their unparalleled efficiency, low distortion and wide dynamic range, to reproduce sound that recreates the emotions experienced while listening to live music. Now, the strong partnership between Klipsch and Live Nation Entertainment, the world's leading live entertainment company, has inspired a line of dynamic, wireless music systems named after The Klipsch Music Center.

KMC 3 - a portable wireless music system with built-in subwoofer with Bluetooth® wireless technology for streaming from smartphones, portable music players and computers delivering 130 watts of digital system power.

Klipsch Gallery®
These sonic masterpieces align flat with your screen and deliver sound that's anything but. Though slim and lightweight, the Klipsch Gallery Series still packs a deep, horn-loaded sound experience. After all, it is from Klipsch.
The vintage Klipschorn (the only speaker to be in continuous production for over six decades), La Scala, Cornwall and Heresy are among the most revered and highly acclaimed loudspeakers in the history of high fidelity audio. Driven by a love of music and desire to hear an "orchestra" in his home, audio pioneer Paul W. Klipsch revolutionized the way the world listened to recorded music when he began building his Heritage line of speakers in 1946. For the first time ever, people were able to experience the power, detail and emotion of a live performance at home. Assembled by hand from start to finish by skilled craftsmen in Hope, Arkansas, where the Klipsch legacy began, the Heritage Series is a testament to high-performance audio that has stood the test of time.
HD Theater
A high-definition picture demands high-definition sound, and these compact, easy to set up 5.1, soundbar and soundbase speaker packages make it an affordable reality. We've taken decades of research and development experience to value engineer these systems, while staying true to our audiophile heritage. They utilize durable, high-quality components and include the same horn-loaded technology that has made us an industry leader for over 65 years.
Established with the launch of its ProMedia® v.2-400 (the first computer speaker in the world to be THX-certified) in 1999, Klipsch's multimedia audio division has been praised by the electronic entertainment industry for its groundbreaking, market-leading designs and received countless high-profile awards.
Custom Installation/Architectural
Klipsch has a wide variety of architectural offerings to better serve the residential contracting market. Whether for home theater or stereo music applications, our easy-to-install in-wall, in-ceiling and outdoor speaker users enjoy design-friendly, reference-quality sound with zero compromises. Outfitted with extremely slim, low-profile magnetic grilles, our architectural speakers are able to produce maximum sound performance from a subtle, unobtrusive product.

The benefits of breast-feeding are well established. Consider ways to support breast-feeding — and how to handle feelings of guilt if you can't or decide not to breast-feed.
Breast-feeding is the recommended way to feed a newborn. Depending on the circumstances, however, various factors might lead you to consider formula-feeding. Here, Jay Hoecker, M.D., an emeritus pediatrics specialist at Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minnesota, answers important questions about breast-feeding and formula-feeding.
The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends exclusive breast-feeding for the first six months after birth — and breast-feeding in combination with solid foods until at least age 1. Extended breast-feeding is recommended as long as you and your baby wish to continue.
Breast milk contains the right balance of nutrients for your baby and boosts your baby's immune system. It's considered the gold standard for infant nutrition.
Ask your baby's doctor about vitamin D supplements for the baby, especially if you're exclusively breast-feeding. Breast milk might not provide enough vitamin D, which helps your baby absorb calcium and phosphorus — nutrients necessary for strong bones.
Taking care of yourself can go a long way toward promoting successful breast-feeding. Eat a healthy diet, drink plenty of fluids and rest as much as possible.
To boost your confidence, learn as much as you can about breast-feeding. Keep the environment calm and relaxed. Look to your partner and other loved ones for support. Don't be afraid to ask for help. Friends who've successfully breast-fed might be a good source of information. Lactation consultants are available at many hospitals and clinics. Your baby's doctor might be able to help, too.
If you're struggling, ask a lactation consultant or your baby's doctor for help. If your baby's doctor is concerned that your baby isn't receiving adequate nutrition or hydration, he or she might suggest pumping and supplementing with expressed breast milk or formula.
Breast milk is the ideal food for babies — and the best way to keep a baby healthy — but proper nutrition and hydration are absolutely essential for your baby.
Commercial infant formulas don't contain the immunity-boosting elements of breast milk. For most babies, breast milk is also easier to digest than formula. When prepared as directed, however, infant formula supports healthy babies who have typical dietary needs. A baby who has special nutritional needs might require a special formula.
Exclusive breast-feeding is recommended for the first six months after birth. A diet of breast milk only provides the best nutrition. Formula supplementation can disrupt breast-feeding as well as affect milk supply. However, some mothers are able to combine breast-feeding and formula-feeding — especially after breast-feeding has been well-established.
If you're considering formula-feeding, do your research so that you can make an informed decision. Then focus on nourishing and nurturing your baby — instead of dwelling on negative emotions. You might also share your feelings with your doctor, your baby's doctor or others in your support circle.
Remember, parenting is an adventure that requires choices and compromises. What counts is doing the best you can as you face this new challenge.

Whenever I've gone through tough times, well-meaning people have told me that God/the universe does not give us more than we can handle. Well, I've been going through a tough time recently, and sure enough, that old saying has been tossed my way on several morose occasions. After some careful consideration, I've decided it's bull$#*!. As an aphorism, it only makes sense in hindsight - after you've managed to crawl from the wreckage of whatever calamity that God/the universe decided to toss your way. No one ever uses it to comfort someone who's been hit by a bus or turned into a puddle of goo by flesh-eating bacteria (although in the right circumstance, that could be a hoot). Another thing I hear a lot is, "this too shall pass." Again, I know these are words meant to reassure, but somehow they always leave me feeling that heartbreak, rage and grief are going to come shooting out of me like kidney stones through an inflamed urethra. For someone in crisis, I think a more accurate and helpful assessment of reality would be, "Love, sex, food, friendship, art, play, beauty and the simple pleasure of a cup of tea are all well and good, but never forget that God/the universe is determined to kill you by whatever means necessary." Consider trying that next time you're called on to do some consoling. If you're feeling impish, you might also try, "According to the rules of comedy, your suffering will be funny after an undetermined length of time. Maybe not while you're having your gangrenous leg sawed off, watching your home burn down or learning how to be intimate with your cellmate, but, in the big scheme of things, soon."

What's New
Jojo Font by Canada Type
About: A little more flower and a litle less power, please. Fun, friendly, fashionable, and feminine to a fault, Jojo takes display typography to a whole new level. It takes a graphic designer very little imagination to see these letters on posters, book covers, clothes, and craft paraphernalia; pretty much anywhere! Jojo takes its name from a Beatles song about getting back to where we once belonged. It also takes most of its shapes from vintage photo-setting days, when an art nouveau typeface called Spring, by B. Jacquet, was putting happy times back where they belonged, which was everywhere. If your design needs art nouveau with a loving spin, retro but not too retro, Jojo is the font for you.

There are things that remind you that time is passing and seemingly quicker than it used to. My niece just turned 23 and is a married mom of 2. I remember babysitting her one evening many years ago so her mom and dad could get a rare night out.
She was months old and pretty much cried all of the evening until her mom came home, and then she was perfectly content again. Now she she has a 4 year old and a months old infant son of her own to care for. It's hard to believe those years passed so quickly.
Fortunately for me, I keep learning and discovering new things that I believe can retain the quality of our health and give us many more years of enjoyable life. I promised that in this newsletter I would share cutting edge stuff with you and here's an interesting item I just discovered.
I think I talked about the MTHFR gene defect in one of my past newsletters. It's pretty common in North Americans. About 55% of the population have some variant of this gene, and it can cause a lot of health problems.
The cheap and easy way to tell if you have this gene defect is to eat asparagus and note whether your urine has a strong odor after about an hour or so. If it does, then you have the gene defect.
The MTHFR gene is responsible for converting folic acid into a form that the human body can actually use called "Methylenetetrahydrofolate" This is known as the "reduced" or "methylated" form of folic acid.
Since your body cannot use ordinary folic acid, this gene must be working correctly in order to convert folic acid into the methylated form. What happens when the gene is defective?
Well…your risk for things like cancer, heart disease, Alzheimer's, stroke, depression, migraines, birth defects, miscarriage, mental illness, ect. Are greatly increased! Methylation is also how your body repairs your DNA (and protects you from cancer).
That's the bad news! The "good news" is that I have stumbled on a cheap nutritional supplement that can help anyone with this gene defect. That may sound like quite a claim, but it has a very sound basis in science.
Here are some abstracts from Pubmed:
By using the "reduced" or "methylated" form of folic acid, you can bypass the problems these gene defect causes. This product is called "methylfolate." It's probably made by a number of companies, but I like Jarrow Formulas for both quality and price.
I just picked up a bottle and do notice quite a difference, mainly the mental aspects of this gene problem being alleviated. I feel more relaxed, less tense and anxious. That is the outward sign that the product is working.
Now please understand that I am not claiming that this supplement cures or prevents any disease. I am only saying that since the MTHFR defect causes you not to be able to utilize folic acid, you can take a form of folic acid that your body CAN utilize.
You will be hearing more about this as time goes on, but right now I believe that "methylfolate" is one of THE most valuable nutritional supplements you can take. Here is a link to it on Amazon:
If you try this nutritional supplement, please let me know how it works for you. Dosage requirements would vary from person to person, but the rule of thumb I go by is to start with the smallest dose, and see how that works for you.
Start with one capsule (400 mcg) and you can take this 3-4 times per week or every other day. If you have the MTHFR gene defect, you should notice a feeling of calmness and well being.
You can tell if you have this defect by eating asparagus and noticing of yoiur urine has a strong odor afterward. If the odor is present, this is an indication that you have this gene defect, and would benefit by taking methyl donors like methylfolate, SAM-E, or trimethylglicine.
Do you have a disease, or other medical condition that you or someone close to you is suffering from that you would like me to research and write about? Then please let me know. I can't give medical advice because I am not a doctor.
But I CAN research things for you and look for the most cutting edge information on that topic and present it to you and everyone who reads this newsletter. Our knowledge is advancing rapidly, and I am here to report on the very latest on health, wellness, and anti-aging for everyone who reads "Age Better."
So if you have questions, or comments, please share them with me. I love hearing from you!
Call me infantile…BUT I 've always been a comic book aficionado. I grew up reading Marvel Comics and to a lesser extent DC as well. With that said, it's way cool to see the characters I read so many years ago, being recreated on the big screen.
Thor 2 "The Dark World" will be out in November, as will Captain America "The Winter Soldier." Captain America is played by actor Chris Evans who grew up in Sudbury, Massachusetts, about 30 minutes from where I live.
I can't wait for these films and will review them when they are out. "Agents of Shield" is coming to television in the fall, I believe the first episode will be September 24th. Due to demand by fans, Agent Phil Coulson will be resurrected from the dead (he died in The Avengers). He plays "director Fury's" right hand man.
This series should be great fun!
This weeks musical clip is a Bruce Hornsby number called "White Wheeled Limousine"
that features one of my favorite guitarists Pat Metheny, who incidentally attended the Berklee School of Music in Boston (about 3 miles from my house!).
There is also an excellent trumpet solo by John D'Earth as well. Hornsby's piano meshes well with Matheny's guitar, and I wish the clip did not end when it did, but it's still a treat!
This newsletter is read by people all over the world, so if you have something that you would like me to share such as music from your country or culture with the other readers, please let me know.
"An investment in knowledge pays the best interest."
Benjamin Franklin

Agricola Board Game: Agricola is a turn-based game. There are 14 game turns plus 6 harvest phases. Each player starts with two playing tokens and thus can take two actions per turn. There are multiple options, and while the game progresses, you'll have more and more. Problem: Each action can be taken just once per turn, so it's important to do some things with high preference. Each player also starts with a hand of 7 Occupation cards and 7 Minor Improvement cards that he/she may use during the game if they fit in his/her strategy. This amounts to countless strategies, some depending on your card hand. Agricola can also be played without cards and can even be played solo. For ages 12 and up. UPC: 681706070261

I find this discussion about antivirus products interesting, I do alot of virus removal and have even done my own studies on 10 products and plotted my results which make for interesting reading using the latest version of the products available at the time approx 6 mths ago with the latest updates all downloaded on the same days and configuring all to the same settings your products like Norton 2001 scored 75% and mcafee 5 scored 82% of the ten products accuracy ranged from 60-96% with only 2 products scoring over 84% and one at 60% the other 7 products were between 70-84% so dont put too much faith in your antivirus scanners this was using the maximum setting with full heuristics so for the average jo with his Antivirus Program set to only scan program files things dont look too good.
I will also say that I found that I also had alot of trouble with mcafee locking up my system, also had problems with the update feature locking up.
Mcafee have released version 6 which I have not tried so I can not comment but I will get a copy at some stage and test with the same samples from previous tests to see what the difference is.
I used the same samples for all my tests.

Celine Dion is hoping to have another child with her husband, Rene Angelil, the superstar singer told Access Hollywood's Nancy O'Dell in a new interview.
Celine, who was in Orlando, Fla., taping a Christmas special at Walt Disney World, told Nancy she has been trying to conceive a second child via in-vitro fertilization with Rene.

"We are trying to have a second child and we hope to be blessed again as parents," she said. "That would be amazing."
When Nancy asked about reports from November claiming she had been pregnant, Celine explained things weren't as they first seemed.

"We were [pregnant], it was positive. And yes it was, so for about four or five days later, then with the blood test, they found out that it was going down a little bit and it was not staying," Celine explained. "So it happens you know, in life in general, people who are not on TV, and newspapers, they go through this all the time and most of the time would not even know that they were pregnant for three or four days, because it was just delayed a little bit. But maybe they were and they would never find out. Because of the treatments I have, I have blood tests a lot and so we found out I was [pregnant] and then it didn't stay and that is why we are trying again."
Celine, who will continue to try to get pregnant via in-vitro fertilization, said, "Actually, we are all set. We are going back to the same people, the same doctor in New York and it's a big process. I'm sure people that go through in-vitro (fertilization) know how much it takes and it demands, but I'm good.
"I feel strong and honestly, we're very blessed," Celine continued. "We have a wonderful child, we're extremely happy. It's not like, 'Oh my god, she's not pregnant and she's depressed.' You know how it works. We are great. We hope for the best, we hope to get pregnant. If it happens, it happens."

Celine said her son, Rene-Charles, 8, would be excited to have a new sibling and that they've explained to him how nature works when the pregnancy did not work out.
"When we announced to him that we were pregnant and then it didn't work out, he said, 'Wasn't it supposed to be 100 percent sure," Celine recounted. "I said it was 100 percent, but it's nature and it didn't work out and he was looking at me and he said, 'Are you going to try again?' I said, ' Yeah, we are going to try again.' He knows exactly what we are doing, so he's great."
Celine also addressed her son's new shorter haircut, which she said was cut because it was a rule at Rene-Charles' new school.
"I said that there's a rule in school that you have to cut your hair short. If you want to go to that school, you have to cut the hair. If you don't want to cut the hair, we are going to have to change schools," she said.
Rene-Charles, who had previously been home-schooled, told his mom that he loved his new school and so they cut his hair. But Celine admitted she kept some of her son's hair after it was cut.
"I have this little ponytail thing that's all baby hair, it's all blond at the end. It's a part of him. It's great. Of course I keep this in a very special place," she said.
"Disney Parks Christmas Day Parade" airs Christmas Day on ABC. Celine also has a concert film due out in February 2010 with Sony Pictures called, "Celine: Through the Eyes of the World," which brings to theaters her 2008-2009 Taking Chances World Tour.
