Skip to comments.A Nostalgic New Year's Look At The 1950s
Posted on 12/31/2012 6:51:01 AM PST by NYer
New Years observances blend recollections of the past, celebrations in the present, and anticipation of the future. For a variety of reasons, Im feeling nostalgic this year. Ive been giving a lot of thought to the decade of my childhoodthe 1950s.
In October, my wife and I saw a play in which people weary of the hectic pace of contemporary life could escape to an authentic 1950s community where the more relaxed pace of the past had been recreated. In the play, the benefit of relocating to the 50s was a simpler, less stressful life, but it came at a priceenduring racial and sexual prejudice. The problem was that the playwrighta man in his 30shad zero feel for the era. He simply reproduced various one-dimensional stereotypes about the 50s that he had heard or read.
... snip ....
My view of the 50s is more benign. I recall it as a happy, safe timealmost a Golden Age in American history. ... snip ... Im glad I got to be a kid at a time of peace and prosperity.
In the 50s, homes were smaller, cars larger, attire more formal, and the range of consumer products far narrower. A sense of order prevailed. Neighbors watched out for everyones kids. We left our homes and cars unlocked. Kids behaved in school or were expelled. Most of us toed the line, because we knew that our parents would take the teachers side. Teachers were respected and principals feared. People accepted responsibility for their actions. If you hurt yourself doing something careless, you never thought of suing the company that made the thing with which you hurt yourself. Most of us went to Sunday school or synagogue every weekend, learning right from wrong and that we are accountable to a higher power.

For those who share these memories and those who wish they did ;-)
In a nutshell ... a lott'a psychological health in those sentences
Even with regular Air Raid Drills and gruesome descriptions of nuclear war ("Don't look at the flash or your eyeballs will melt!) I STILL felt more secure and safe in my Beloved America in the Fifties than I do now.
Remember Khrushchev banging his shoe on the desk? LOL!
The Good Guys were Good and the Bad Guys were BAD. I Loved the Fifties!
OK...I know the "shoe thing" was probably in the early 60's. The "Fifties" ended on November 22, 1963. For me, anyway.
I remember when my brother and I were told to be in before the street lights went on guess what we were or else.
Parents were non existent on any given day ut for aan ankle and foot in a doorway in a distant room. But they knew what we were up to.
Tehere were older siblings, and they were sanctioned if we did something to embarass the family.
And we were not allowed to be in the house during the day. We had to brave a lot for that.
Once, someone fixed the lock on our front door so we could lock it. I was in my twenties.
The teacher was NEVER wrong. But she was a good person, out for my welfare.
Mean, though.
People dressed appropriately. I still do, and I get treated well for it. Dressing well is easy and way underrated.
It was a privilege to grow up in the 50s.
During my period of great despondency immediately following the stolen election, I was lamenting the loss of our republic, when one of my elder sisters stated, "We got to live in the best part of it". Still makes me tear up to type that, as it reminds me of what my grandchildren will never have.
I love Norman Rockwell!
Happy New Year, FRiend!
As we have been told, the cause of all of the current shootings is 'the easy availability of guns.'
Well let me let everyone in on a little secret:
Most of the households back then had a father that had been in World War II. There were three M1 Garands in my neighborhood alone. One owner would load up all the kids in the block and take us out to the range to shoot his. Many houses had a 1911 Colt or some kind of wheel gun. None were locked up, and most were loaded.
And if you wanted to buy a gun, who here remembers, "Service Armament"? They were one of many MAIL ORDER gun companies. Just a money order and the Postman walked right up to your door and delivered.
My Dad said if I made all Bs in my sophomore year I could buy a pistol.I picked and Astra 9mm (I thought it looked neat, but it is really a poor design). I filled out all the paperwork and saved my money. To make a long story short, I still have the gun, and somewhere I may even still have the box it came in, addressed to me - a 15 year old.
If easy availability of guns was the problem, the 50's should have seen daily school blood baths. It didn't. And that alone PROVES that the availability of guns has NOTHING to do with the causes of the current madness.
If you had said let's take God out of the school system you would have to say, "how are you going to guard against the onslaught of the enemy?"
"If you had said lets take God out of the school system you would have to say, how are you going to guard against the onslaught of the enemy?
Not quite sure what you are trying to say, but if in the 1950's you had said, "let's take God our of the school system" my parents and a whole bunch of other very angry parents would have shown up - and been VERY LOUD.
The liberals are a lot smarter then we give them credit for. The work like water, just slowly wearing away the morals and sanity that creates a good society. They've been at it for the last sixty years. It's just now that we are really staring to see the effects.
I remember one shooting at school in the fifties. A guy brought his shotgun to Massapequa HS and killed some other guy over a girl. The teacher who disarmed him was Alex Baldwin Sr.
Yes, those were the good old days for firearms. My dad owned over 200 firearms at that time, all easily available in the home and you know what? With the exception of when we went out hunting or to the range or to clean them, I knew if I ever put my hands on one, they would stay on them...no joke, I just knew better.
The rest of the 50's were pretty calm to, once the Korean War was over. Schools were places to learn, not day care centers. I went to a local church grade school taught by mostly nuns. We were praised when we did well, and if we did something wrong, well, I always felt the principal nun was hiding out from Nuremberg for having run a concentration camp. Frightening woman. I don't recall the police ever coming to school except to hand out the safety patrol badges and gather them up at the end of the school year. A big night out was when the family went to the movies. One TV, a few channels and no filth on it. My parents decided what was on and when we went to bed. Yes, "go outside and play" was a daily thing, no hanging about the house playing video games and the like. Touch football ran from october to March and baseball from April to October, either at the park or in the street. Water ballon fights and tag games....a wonderful time to be a kid.
Meanwhile, we had chores to accomplish too. Mostly helping out but nonetheless we were involved. Minor plumbing, painting, car maintenance, cleaning game both fish and foul. We were taught how to do things besides checking Angie's list.
Yes, I remember at least a couple of those kinds of shootings as well.
But I'm talking about a kid just showing up and indiscriminately shooting people for no reason. Two guys having a beef with each other - yes, high school kids killing people just for fun - no.
It was a time when doors were left unlocked, children played outside until dusk and what few television programs shown, were entertaining, informative or faith based. Even our Jewish neighbors appreciated watching ...
Remember when I was in the eight grade about `62 the
school took us on a field trip to the local jail..8 cells
Today we have a jail built about 8 yrs ago to hold 500,now
they are triple bunking them because of over crowding
"A guy brought his shotgun to Massapequa HS and killed some other guy over a girl"
Bingo - first correct answer.
Almost every home back then with kids had a Mom AND a Dad. Mom was kind but strict, and Dad had a large leather belt. And there was order and politeness in society, from the home, to the neighborhood, to schools. But as the liberals will tell you, those were 'terrible times that restricted children's growth and development.' Never mind that those kids went on to build the largest free market economy on earth and STILL pay a huge percentage of the takes.
Since then we have been taught that there must be 'freedom' and 'understanding'. That under no circumstances should a parent ever strike a child. And that all of the bedrock American beliefs are wrong and must be torn down.
Working out really well, isn't it?
Ditto! And it was reflected in television programming.
The shooter in Massapequa in '58 was already a 'troubled' kid and being treated by a shrink. It was such an anomoly that we remember it 55 years later.
Because those sentences reflect a society based on civility and respect for God.
I firmly believe that *everybody* was better off,overall,back then...even the perverts (AIDS was unheard of then).
I remember there was the Korean war, lots of tobacco related deaths, polio vaccines, beginning of VietNam problems, communism, women had fewer rights, pollution, no seat belts, McCarthyism, atomic bomb drills, LSD treatments for psychiatric problems, TB hospitals, lousy tv.
I think every decade had good things and bad things.
Ironic that we lost the election to our peers. God bless you, friend. Safeguard those memories and share them with your grandchildren.
We're all a bunch of knuckle-dragging neanderthals just for clicking on the thread title.
Maybe in the 60's when we sort'a discovered our brains those things mattered .. but not in the 50's.
I was born in '48 ... "woke up" around 53,54,55 ... caught some terrific doowop before the beatle invasion ... etc., etc.
I was born in 1950. I remember iron lungs, polio vaccine on a sugar cube, Ike's election, hiding under desks at school, and yes, getting yelled at for coming in after dark.
I was born with a physical deformity and I remember Ma going out on the March Of Dimes and filling cards with dimes from door to door donors.
I remember those cards with the little slots.
The "shoe thing" was in 1960.
For me, the fifties ended chronologically on December 31, 1959, a sunny and cold and snowy day in Big Bear Lake, Calif.--the lake was frozen, so we could walk out onto it, and the ground was covered with snow. Politically and culturally, I would say the fifties ended on January 20, 1961, a cold and overcast Friday in Whittier, Calif.
school took us on a field trip to the local jail..8 cells
I visited the jail in Whittier, Calif. in 1960, and it was about that size. We were allowed to tour it because there were no inmates. It's a safe bet that it's always full these days.
The whole point of getting God out of the school system was to make sure that there was nothing to guard against the onslaught of the enemy.
"the range of consumer products far narrower"
Sometimes a walk through Walmart (and other stores) reminds me of just how much "stuff" I do NOT need. Less IS more; but we just have to discipline ourselves in that way; I feel a bit dazed at times when I have to choose among 25 different versions of the same product. Of course, we'd probably complain if we only had one choice in an item.
I'm amazed at the amount of programming (psycological engineering) that goes on with American television.
There must be four or five each of talent searches, survivor series, races and bachelors, bachelorettes, and a few etcetera's that constantly bombard the viewer with ..
"Well, the way I see it, Brad is SO selfish and ...
So what IS reality?
Well Bill ... the way I see it ...
God will not be mocked.
It would have been hard to complain...all there was back then was mail, telegraph or telephone, and phone calls were likely to be party lines and cost money just to call across the country.
How else do you give people jobs if you don't sell stuff?...more stuff for sale, more jobs.
The 50s was before my time, but I have no doubt it was a much better time.
You've hit upon a pet peeve of mine, and that is the fact that it's fashionable to be a slob these days. I'm in my 40s, and if I go out wearing boot cut jeans, a decent top, and heeled boots, I'm way overdressed compared with many. It's even worse during the summer. Most people look like they just came off the beach. I really do despise flip-flops.
Hey, ladies, here's a newsflash---exposed bra straps are not an accessory. They're meant to be covered up. Strapless bras have existed for decades----get one.
As for men, a Freeper (can't recall whom) was right when she said that many of them dress like oversized Peanuts characters. I've never forgotten that description; it was completely on target.
Rant off.
Thank you for your post. I believe that every generation can look back to a past period with a feeling of nostalgia. Every era has positive and negative aspects to it. We live in our own times, wishing for something or sometime else doesn't change anything.
BTW, I remember duck and cover, Howdy Doody, polio scares etc. I even came down with Scarlet Fever one summer. I wonder how many cases there are of that every year in the US.
I was born somewhat later, but didn't hear much doo-wop with the exception of Peanuts by Little Joe & the Thrillers and the Flamingos' I Only Have Eyes For You. Our radio station of choice was usually KFI, now Rush Limbaugh's home in the Southland.
In the fifties, KFI featured variety shows such as "Hit the Road," a morning show that included a lot of popular music. Their play list included songs like The Ballad of Davy Crockett by Walter Schumann, Round and Round by Perry Como, and True Love by Bing Crosby, but occasionally a rocker such as Rock Around the Clock or Eric Nelson's Poor Little Fool would break through. We would listen to "Hit the Road" over a portable Zenith radio that usually sat on the gray Formica kitchen table beneath the big GE electric clock that was mounted on the wall.
Let's make steel and sell it all over the world
Let's make refineries and sell the refined products all over the world
The fact that liberals are always howling about what an evil time the 50s (and early 60s) were is proof of how good they were. TV shows with names like Gunsmoke, The Rifleman, and Have Gun Will Travel were on the air and nobody had a cow over it. Little boys openly played with toy guns.
I saw an old commercial on youtube for a cereal called Kellogg's Sugar Corn Pops. The child actor (actually, the guy who grew up to be Micky Dolenz of the Monkees) had toy guns in the commercial and said, "bang, bang," and the slogan was "shot with sugar through and through." Yes, they bragged about the cereal having sugar, and guns and shooting were the theme of the ad! But there were few if any school shootings then, and less obesity.
I've even heard of high school kids in the 50s leaving guns openly visible in their cars in school parking lots because they planned to go hunting after school. Yet if two kids got into a fight, nobody ran out to the parking lot to get their gun. They settled the fight with fists. I've even heard of kids bringing guns on the school bus because they'd brought them for "show and tell"!
People are nostalgic for the safety and the morals of the 50s. I get email forwards all the time saying, "Remember the good old days when we didn't have to lock our doors and the schools didn't have metal detectors?" But nobody ever discusses why things aren't that way anymore. That's the elephant in the living room!
Yes, I hear you.
I was only 8 years old when the fifties chronologically ended, and was still quite politically naive.
Hopefully we will again in the future. In the meantime, we need to sell something, even if people don't know they need it. I don't think the world is a better place if the biggest $$$ things we can sell is munitions.
When I attended my last high school reunion, I wore a slacks, a sport jacket and a tie--and was way overdressed. In fact, I was the only one with a tie, and several came in shorts and sandals.
That is just completely unacceptable to me. I don't know what people are thinking.
I forgot about Howdy Doody and Buffalo Bob. That was the beginning of tv as a babysitter. I don't know anyone that could watch that stuff nowadays, even kids.
"McCarthyism" is a term that was invented by leftists who know that Joe was onto them.
Just sayin'
of Course the fifties weren't perfect. No era is. But it sure was a lot nicer than the world we live in today.
All of us Baby Boomers no doubt remember Tony the Tiger, who flogged Kellogg's Frosted Flakes. I met the man who did his voice—he lived in my mother's retirement complex. He passed away a few years ago.

Not So Much!This really does work, however, beware if you are in a hot situation. It runs big time. Talk about embarrassing! I will use it with caution in the winter, but it will not do for hot weather or swimming. I like Organin hair fiber. Now, that works and it really is nearly impossible to see; doesn't run and stays put for the most part.

Great ResultsI have been using this product for several months without telling anyone. My friends started to tell me how much better my hair looked. My cloest friend told me one day after I had told her about Dermatch that she was about to tell me that my hair looked healthier than it had in years.
The product lives up to it's expectations, it cover's extremely well and does not come off or run in the swimming pool.
The only problem I have is that it is a matte, I may apply too much), and it appears to make my hair look dull. However, with a shine spray it looks much better. I am happy that I chose this product over the sprays or sprinkles. It is very easy to apply, just need to get used to using the correct amount. It last's forever and I am now placing another order for more.My hair is grey and the silver grey works perfect, however I have lots of white too, so I am ordering the white to see which color looks best or maybe combine the two colors.
I had tried wigs, top hair pieces, they drove me crazy. You can use this product with ease, just takes a few minutes to make a drastic differencee.
P.S...my hubby still hasn't noticed, just tells me I look good and that makes me feel great.Aug 25, 2010Norma B. / Birmingham, AlabamaHAIR TYPEGrey / Fine or Thin Hair

The Best I've FoundI am a 40-year-old female suffering from trichotillomania (much like biting fingernails, except that it's pulling hair), and while I have the condition under control for the most part, I do have relapses from time to time that leave me with bald spots or thinning hair in certain spots on the scalp. DermMatch works terrifically to cover these thin spots and make my hair appear full again. I use the dark brown, which is a great match for my naturally dark brown/slightly gray color. If you have a warmer dark brown (maybe with bits of red or medium/light brown highligts in it), I would definitely suggest going lighter, however. I always apply the product by wetting the applicator and then rubbing it around in the makeup until it's approximately the consistency of thin mud. Then I just paint it on where needed. Doing this on wet or dry hair or scalp doesn't really seem to matter. One thing I've learned is that it's best to apply it directly to the scalp and try not to put too much of it on any hair, because that's what causes it to rub off. I wait about 30-45 minutes for it to dry completely and then comb it through. I've found it to be completely water and sweat proof as long as you don't use any soap or shampoo on it. I also haven't had any problems using any styling products on it. However, if you are covering a large area, please be aware that it will rub off on your hands if you run your fingers through your hair. (This is actually a benefit for me because it keeps me from pulling.) It also will leave a dark spot anywhere you rub your hair, like pillowcases or the backs of chairs (if you're leaning heavily against them or rubbing your head on it). It can leave a dark spot on light shirts or jackets with high collars that reach the hairline. With the exception of one pillowcase I have, however, I have found that it launders out of all fabrics very well. I haven't had any trouble with it permanently staining any of my clothes. All that being said, I think the challenges of using this product are definitely worth the positive impact it's made on my appearance.Apr 29, 2010Stacey

Seems Like They Know What They're DoingI've tried several products. DermMatch seems to have a real knowledge in trying to help solve the hair thinning problem; a large, easy to use compact, good sized applicators, readable instructions--although one area might be confusing (use on dry hair/okay to use on wet--I have done both, so I guess it doesn't matter), good color (may be a little powdery-looking), and best of all, seems to last--and it doesn't make my scalp itch like several other products do!!!Apr 6, 2010Susan

Derm Match Rocks!The next best thing besides real hair is this product. I am a female with male pattern type baldness and was just using brown eye shadows (yeah, I know!) that were too powdery and wouldn't stay put, and would also streak. Anyway,I used and like this product but still decided to have a hair transplant. i'm happy with it, and now that I'mm 8 weeks post-op, I'm applying this conservatively around the area to blend. Great stuff...thanks Folica!Mar 6, 2010Sallyj

Love ItI received this product about 2 weeks ago and I LOVE IT. It is easy to apply and doesn't come off easily. In the past week I have run 8, 10, and 12 miles and have not had any issue with running or dripping (and I sweat a lot). So thank you so much for making this product. I will continue to order it and would and have recommended it.Feb 4, 2010Claire

Great Product!I am a woman with slightly thinning hair, enough that I could see my scalp. I was getting frantic, so I researched what could resolve the problem and my first stop was Dermmatch. It was my last stop too, as I was so pleased with it. My confidence is restored. It is easy to apply, and with practice I have found it's best applied to freshly washed and still wet hair. Once applied I blow dry. Initially I was using too much so my hair looked powdery, so I now use less and it's fine. I've been caugght out in the rain and it didn't run. It lasts for 4-5 days, so I have just made it part of my hair washing routine. It's great. I wouldn't be without it. Oh yes, I'm still on the first disc, it's very economic too!Feb 1, 2010Sandra / London, UKHAIR TYPEFine or Thin Hair

Slip Simulator to keep Hanford workers on their feet
Training crews at Hanford are hoping to prevent accidents during the winter months with the help of a new $20,000 device.
The Slip Simulator is used to train workers to walk on slippery and icy conditions without falling down.
The floor of the Slip Simulator is just tile, and trainers make it slippery by spraying Pledge on it.
Hanford workers say the average slip and fall injury costs $28,000 - that includes medical bills, physical therapy and missed wages.
Crews are hoping to curb that, and make employees safer at work.
"One of the issues that we have here at the Hanford site, which actually, everybody has even just leaving their houses, is slipping and sliding on that ice or those wet surfaces, or those frosty surfaces. However, it's been demonstrated that if people are trained to walk on those surfaces a certain way, that you can minimize the risk of actually slipping or falling down" said Paul Kruger, Mission Support Alliance.
Hanford crews will start using the Slip Simulator next week.

Emery County is an unlikely place in all of our country where anyone would expect to see young people in trouble. Family values run deep in the fabric of the citizens of Huntington and Emery County. Mining, farming, small rural clusters of generations of hard workers with solid community bonds dominate the people of Emery County and Huntington City at its core. Emery County has seen hard times with recent mine disasters tearing at the lives of its people with dire and horrible loss of human life. Emery County has and is experiencing losses from our Nations economic recession. Businesses are stressed financially and some are barely able to survive. Others fail. Folks here are also losing their homes, jobs and security as is happening throughout America. Families are under unprecedented stress.
The leaders and citizens of Emery and its adjacent neighbor, Carbon County has seen a disturbing trend over the past few years. High school dropouts have increased; young families have been dissolving at an alarming rate of divorce. Drug use and alcohol addiction has reached nearly 30 percent of the Carbon and Emery county population with all manner of disastrous results. The children of our community are threatened with uncertain futures as our spiritual values decline.
In all of this, a bright light shines. Just like the early spirit that drove our pioneers to tame this great land, that spirit still lives in many of our citizens who refuse to be defeated. Percy and Janice Mounteer are a part of that story.
A few years ago two of the three theaters in Emery County were torn down and not replaced. Percy and Janice acquired the last theater, now the "Star Theate" (next door to the Star Grill). After some renovation, Huntington now has the new Star Theatre that seats 176 people. Their dream was and still is, to see The Star Theatre used for live plays and community event attractions including films.
A few years later, Percy and Janice acquired The Star Grill in downtown Huntington across from the elementary school. They added an Amusement Hall beside the grill in a turn-of-the-century bank building. The renovation included a bandstand, all kinds of arcade games, pool tables and a snack bar. The up-stairs mezzanine was converted into meeting rooms and a study hall. The mezzanine is a location for many computers. Kids started to hang-out at "The Star". Janice cooked and Percy spent his time with the kids. Because of their love, personal sacrifice, and providing kids a safe place to be, many of those kids were encouraged to get their lives straightened out and went on to be productive citizens.
Something else began to happen at The Star Grill. Seniors Citizens who had nowhere else to go began to also "hang-out" at the grill. Because the Star Grill is attached to the Amusement Hall, the seniors and the kids began to form a relationship. Any Wednesday night at the dinner hour, you can find an audience of seniors and youth applauding the band, sing, act and perform to their attentive audience. The Star has become a happening place in downtown Huntington.
Nearly 25 years ago, Percy and Janice purchased their farm which included two ponds near Huntington. Both ponds have several varieties of fish; they brought in a small herd of deer, llamas, goats and other animals. Recreation abounded with swimming, camping, fishing and ice-skating in the winter. All children and especially those with disabilities were and continue to be welcome to Percy's ponds and ranch. From their beginning Percy and Janice have shared their possessions with everyone who had a need, especially children who had nowhere to go. Percy and Janice have fostered more than 20 children together with raising their two birth children.
The Mounteers are entering a new phase in their brand of service. The Boys and Girls Club of Huntington is born. As of Oct. 1, Percy and Janice have announced that the Star Grill, the Amusement Center and the Star Theatre will be taken over by the Boys and Girls Club of America ("BGC" of Huntington Chapter). A new non-profit corporation is being formed with 11 new board members from the community, and an impressive advisory board. The Executive Co-directors are Percy and Janice (of course). Their vision over the years, their hard work and love for the kids of Huntington and the disabled community and the seniors of Huntington demanded this outcome.
As always, Percy and Janice have "big plans" for the BGC of Huntington. Thomas Mullins, a VISTA Volunteer with Active Re-Entry in Price has become a facilitator for the BGC of Huntington project. The plan is to have three or four new VISTA Volunteers assigned to the BGC of Huntington by early 2010. With full time VISTA help, expertise, experience and energy brought alongside Percy and Janice, they will have additional assistance to fulfill their dream for the kids of Huntington.
Several sub-clubs within BGC of Huntington will also be formed to accommodate the children. A chess club, a photography club, a cooking club, an aviation club, a computer club, and especially a performing arts club are planned plus several others. Kids and adult activities are being formed. Learning restaurant cooking and serving, planting a large community garden, fishing, campfires at the ponds, study, mentor tutoring, time and play activities with seniors and kids are just some of the planned activities.
Plays performed by local talent, both kids and adults will be scheduled at the theater in addition to first run feature film shows. Percy and Janice envision a regular weekly dinner theater. Kids will be given the chance to write plays, build stage sets, costumes, act, direct, perform, learn stage lighting, and sound as Percy and Janice open the BGC for use by the Emery County School District (head offices across the street from the Star Grill). A theater manager also is planned for the theater.
Many fund-raisers in addition to private and public grants are in the planning stages. A fishing contest at Percy's ponds, a chess tournament, theater guest performances, spelling bees, Saturday farmers market in the parking lot, Christmas Craft fair, are to name only a few of many on-going fund raising activities. Donations are 501c3 IRS deductible at this time.
Stop by the Star Grill for a great meal, old-fashioned malt or some popcorn or just a cup of coffee with Percy and Janice. Share your ideas, volunteer and donate if you can.

BRAIDWOOD — Despite being portrayed as the home team on the scoreboard, the Seneca Fighting Irish played the role of visitors in their opening-round matchup of the Interstate Eight conference tournament on Saturday night, taking on the hosting Reed-Custer Comets. Despite a high-energy atmosphere, the top-seeded Irish were able to hold off the eighth-seeded Comets and advanced to the semifinals with a 78-69 win.
The Irish got off to a blistering start, breaking Reed-Custer's press for three quick buckets on their first three possessions. Seneca continued to apply the pressure, nailing its first four three-point attempts on its way to opening up an 18-4 lead with 3:36 to play in the first quarter.
Junior guard Conlan Callahan hit his first three attempts from beyond the arc and would go on to hit five treys in the first half on his way to an 18-point night. However, despite a hot first half, for the most part Callahan took composed shots in rhythm with Seneca's offense.
"It's important to keep it composed out there when you're feeling it a little bit," Callahan said. "If someone's feeling it, we try to get it to that guy, but we all know we have to be smart about it. Don't just go up and chuck it."
As a team, Seneca did fall in love with the long-ball after its hot start, and the Irish missed their next nine shots from the field, including four attempts from beyond the arc. The offensive lull allowed the Comets to get back into the ballgame, as Reed-Custer's press spurred a 13-0 run that pulled them to within a point at 18-17.
"I know we were at 12 turnovers in the first half, and I think we were at (26) for the game, and that's just unacceptable," Seneca head coach Russ Witte said.
"(After the 18-4 start,) we started going away from the gameplan — they made a slight adjustment. They stopped trapping our first catch, but we didn't want to change what we did. We wanted to make one pass and still attack. Well, we made that one pass but we stopped attacking."
Eventually the Comets would tie the game at 27 at one point in the second quarter, but Seneca would close out the half on a 13-4 run and carried a 40-31 lead into the half.
In the second half, senior point guard Jimmy David kicked off the scoring for Seneca, scoring two of his team-high 19 points on the night on a quick layup to open the third quarter. David will also chip in four assists on the night.
Seneca would extend its lead to 63-52 heading into the fourth quarter, but Reed-Custer would make one last charge in the final stanchion. The Comets forced seven fourth-quarter turnovers and would eventually cut the lead to three when a bucket by center Tyler Foote was followed by a steal and a three from freshman guard Travis Schoonover with 1:16 remaining. Foote would lead all scorers on the night with 24 points.
However, coming out of the Reed-Custer timeout, Seneca would get another quick bucket from David that would wind up extending the lead to two possessions, and the Comets were never able to close the gap again. A late technical foul for an illegal substitution gave Seneca four free throw attempts—which the Irish would split—and the ball. The snafu would put an end to any comeback thoughts for the Comets.
"The one thing we did really well—we did a lot of things well—but we limited them to three pointers," Witte said. "Last night against Manteno they hit 12 threes. Tonight, they hit four. So that was a great job on our part."
Seneca will advance to play Herscher (which won on a buzzer-beating three in its opening-round matchup with Plano) in the semifinals on Tuesday night at 5:30 in the main gym at Reed-Custer.

Sculptures & Monuments • Viljandi • More details
|Viljandi| Show on map
|(+372) 433 0442
The sleepy, small-town atmosphere of Viljandi is cheered up by big red concrete strawberries. These have been inspired by the painting "Strawberry Eaters" by naïve artist Paul Kondas, as the people of Viljandi are said to resemble the characters it depicts – behind an ostensibly petit bourgeois façade lies a core full of positive surprises.
Interesting to know:
*There are a total of 8 concrete strawberries in Viljandi
*The painting "Strawberry Eaters" by Paul Kondas has reportedly been selected as one of the 100 greatest paintings in the world

CVJH donates money and cans For Spencer's wishes/ Food drive
Canyon View Junior High has been collecting money for Spencer's wishes. They have collected a total number of $562.60 just during the month of November. To interest the students to donate, each grade competed against another. The ninth grade class took first place with $291.31, then eighth grade with $138.59, and seventh with $132.70. Every grade did a good job in donating; except for ninth grade the numbers were close.
Also, as a school they competed against San Rafael Junior High for the food drive. CVJH won the competition, but again it was a close count. There is not an exact number, but CVJH donated more than 150 pounds of cans.
They enjoyed the competition, and each grade put in a great effort.

This product contains quercetin. It is very important. I have tried other Resveratrol products but I feel no effect. I think it is because they do not contain quercetin.

I liked it overall but the facial expressions were the most striking.
It took me awhile to see that there are four aliens in this.
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
i like the character design and the expressions are very appropriate.
the background is well done, but i think it lacks the alien quality that the figures have. it looks like they are in a national park in north america.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Wow, great artwork here.
I can totally picture an "insert funny caption here" type situation for this.
Although inter-species murder is never funny... sometimes!

Rated 3.5 / 5 stars
It's actually a pretty cool image, I like it. But I think your colors blend a bit too much, specifically the alien on the right and the rock in the backgrond.

Brave New World: @Strombone1, Player Personality and Subversive Access in the era of "Digital Fame"
Thomas Drance
June 12 2012 03:19PM
Easily the most revealing answer @strombone1 gave @passittobulis in last week's Twitter DM interview.
Late last week Harrison Mooney of Pass it to Bulis coyly interviewed Roberto Luongo's irreverent, "anonymous" Twitter account "@strombone1" using Twitter's direct messaging feature. Generally speaking, the hockey blogosphere and the media reacted by chuckling. Now there's nothing wrong with that, it was a light-hearted interview, bursting with tongue-in-cheek half-reveals, but no one seemed to realize just how subversive the whole thing was.
The Canucks are not the Nashville Predators, and there is no "bloggers row" in the media box in Vancouver. With a few exceptions here and there (every rule was made to be broken on occasion), the Canucks like most Canadian NHL teams, have a strict "no blogger access" policy and enforce it stringently.
Yet here was Roberto Luongo, maybe the most famous individual player on the Canucks (at least for the moment), granting an interview to a blogger. In the process, Mooney and Luongo completely circumvented team PR, and set up the interview through a series of direct messages between the @passittobulis account and the @strombone1 account. That Harrison chose to take screen shots of the "direct message" conversation, rather than writing out the interview in text, added an extra layer of "taboo" to the exchange. Luongo's account which, made its name by gleefully playing off of convention, ran roughshod over the usual processes last week, then backed up and did it again.
Instead of commenting on how innovative it was, the focus of many writers seemed to be on Luongo's reputation and how the public's perception of him may have been radically different if he'd been #stromboning throughout his tenure in Vancouver. Here's what Justin Bourne had to say about @strombone1 for example:
"I can't help but wonder: if Canucks fans and media had known that Luongo had a personality outside of cliched answers to dull questions, would he have had more success in Vancouver, or at least have been more beloved? I suspect he would have."
It's a sentiment that was closely echoed by Joe Yerdon, over at ProHockeyTalk:
"If it is Luongo on the other side of the urinal avatar, there's a whole lot of personality we haven't been privy to there. Let it shine, Lu."
I think those two sentiments are onto something, while also missing the plot a bit. For those who've been paying close attention (i.e. Canucks fans), Luongo's winning, off the wall sense of humour has often been at the forefront. His comic stylings were evident when he played for the Panthers, but his greatest pre-Strombone bit of comic theatre was when he read self-deprecating poetry on TSN. Here's some choice prose, from the poem titled "shootout blues" where Luongo mocked his own struggles in the skill-competition:
"Sixty five minutes then a stupid gimmick / Tarnishing my name after a 48-save game / Five-on-five I'll keep you alive / Four-on-four you will not score / Then you! Shootout! I despise you, I will not lie / Why can't we just end it in a tie?"
Of course, not all of Luongo's jokes always "hit." Recall May 11th 2010, Luongo allowed five goals against as the Canucks were eliminated by the Chicago Blackhawks in six games, in the second round of the postseason, for the second year in a row. Luongo's response to questions about his play that night was to glibly reference the horrific third period he had at the Mad House in game six of the first Blackhawks series the season previous: "Hey, at least I didn't let in seven." Doh!
Now one might applaud Luongo's ability to have a good sense of humour in a painful situation, but needless to say, that quip didn't go over very well in some corners of the Canucks fan-base. To quote Jason Botchford: "Luongo and public relations has always been like a scene in the Hurt Locker. Something always was on the verge of blowing up. We all saw it happen in the Cup final, pumped-up tires and all."
Yes, the "pumped tires" thing, one of Luongo's most misunderstood moments. By his own admission, Luongo was on an emotional high after his game 5 shutout of the Bruins, and he dropped a comment about how he would've made the save off of Maxim Lapierre that Tim Thomas didn't. He was probably right, Tim Thomas' battlefly style takes him well outside the crease constantly, whereas Luongo's play style is significantly more conservative. Luongo had the Bruins right where he wanted them, he was riding high and he got over-confident and emotional. Ultimately he shanked what I believe he'd intended as a simple, technical comment on goaltending styles.
We actually all saw something similar happen again just last week, actually the same day that the subtly groundbreaking interview with Pass it to Bulis dropped. Luongo was being praised far and wide for the interview, he was the hottest thing on Twitter, when all of a sudden he was called out by Legion of Blog writer @SteveintheKT for being "objectively" unfunny.
During the course of their back and forth, Luongo goaded Steve into tooting his own horn and Luongo RT'd Steve's boast with the comment "pumping your own tires is gay." Twitter promptly exploded with recriminations, as Luongo deleted the tweet, apologized profusely in public and in private, and ultimately cleaned up an unfortunate situation with aplomb.
To be crystal clear, Luongo didn't handle Steve's criticism very well, but he handled the fall out perfectly. Maybe it's just me but I'm convinced that it was the Twitter equivalent of the "tire pump" fiasco: Luongo was riding high, he had Steve right where he wanted him, he was one word away from pulling off a pretty sweet takedown, but he got emotional and he shanked what he'd intended as a harmless joke.
One thing to consider is that, while Luongo's english is top-notch (and he deserves a lot of credit because learning two languages is one thing, being funny in two languages is another thing entirely) it remains his second tongue. Perhaps that's a partial explanation for why Luongo has so often ended up with his foot in his mouth, even when he's making relatively innocuous statements. More than that, I think he's just a very emotional guy. In the past he's spoken about how it drives him, about how he needs to be emotional to be successful. Of course, there's also the other side of that coin and he's admitted, in his own words, that he's let his emotions carry him away on occasion.
In contrast to the idea that "Luongo might be more popular if he'd shown more personality throughout his time in Vancouver" I'd argue that so many of his issues with public relations were the result of the fact that he showed too much. Let's cue up the always eloquent Ellen Etchingham on the dangers of players being open with fans and the media:
All it takes to ruin an image is the mismanagement of one interview, one bad soundbite, one embarrassing iPhone pic... Cross any one of these arbitrary and often invisible lines and your life becomes a sea of the same stupid jokes and repetitive questions, people making fun of your habits and questioning your character, which (again) is difficult to handle gracefully and even more difficult not to be distracted by.
We're talking about a guy who has been criticized constantly, unfairly and obnoxiously - often for absurdly miniscule things like: signing a sponsorship deal with a poker company, not getting a start on the road, saying he was looking forward to a regular season game, or pointing out that he plays a more conservative "butterfly" style than the opposition's goaltender. I mean really, it's pretty ridiculous.
Last week, Bill Simmons and Malcolm Gladwell - had a really interesting e-mail exchange at Grantland.com covering "digital fame." They point out that Lebron James, who rose to prominence in the era of the internet, is probably the most criticized athlete in the history of sports. While I wouldn't necessarily disagree with that (there are more basketball fans, than there are hockey fans, after all), I do think Luongo has a pretty strong case for that crown.
First of all, goaltender is a specialized position, and goalies are seen by many fans and media members as distinct and apart from the team in front of them. When the Canucks have lost with Luongo in net, nearly all of the time the blame has fallen squarely on his shoulders. That happens to Lebron too of course, but I have to think that the very nature of the position that Luongo plays, causes him to face more pressure on a game-by-game basis, and at least a comparable level of criticism for his team's failings.
Secondly, I imagine there's nothing quite like playing professional hockey in a Canadian market. The pressure and criticism is insane and completely omnipresent. Not only has Luongo played in a Canadian market, which, is impossible enough - but he's played in a Stanley Cup starved Canadian market for a contending team. Throughout that time, he's often been painted as the singular reason why the team has been unable to become champions.
Can you honestly tell me that Lebron James has played in three games with as much gut-wrenching pressure falling particularly on his shoulders as Luongo has? Consider: the Olympic Gold Medal Game in 2010, Game 7 of the Canucks first round series against Chicago in 2011, Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final, also, in 2011. Those are games in which Luongo was playing for history (or to avoid infamy), for his reputation, for his country. He won two of the three, and the one he lost resulted in a riot that engulfed much of the downtown core. Yeah.
Can you really throw "Game 6 of the NBA finals in 2011" or "The Olympic Gold Medal Game against Spain in Bejing" into the same category? I don't really buy it. Add in the fact that Canadians tweet more than any other nationality does, and use the internet more than their American counterparts - and I think Luongo has been picked apart and savaged unfairly in at least a comparable manner to what Lebron has dealt with.
Like Lebron, Luongo hasn't received enough credit for how well he's handled these challenges. You don't see him taking years off, and it certainly hasn't dented his competitive spirit or his sense of humour. With the advent of @strombone1: he's even found a way to communicate directly with fans, and in one fell swoop has turned his reputation on its head. I'd argue that it's not that his personality has changed, or that he's showing it more, he's just found a running gag that appeals to people and he's poured himself into it. If he made Strombone style jokes in person, the public reaction wouldn't be nearly so favorable.
The pretense of anonymity, and at this point it's a thin pretense indeed, has allowed Luongo to take all of the criticisms he's faced over the course of his illustrious career, and make them into an extended joke. Along the way he's challenged convention, and subtly broken down long established mores while doing so. Ain't that a trick?
Didn't James Duthie write that poetry routine?
@Thomas Drance
No, you're right I just thought I heard that at some point and wondered if someone would confirm.
June 12 2012, 05:21PM
Personally I agree with the central thesis here, but has he really turned his reputation right around for anybody more than his 14,918 Twitter followers? The strombone phenomenon has not received mainstream (non-Twitter and associated blogs) notoriety. When I bring @strombone1 up to a casual fan they have no clue as to what I am talking about, nor are they on Twitter. Are all of us in a Twitter bubble?
Still, its a start.
great piece, thom.
The Italians of St-Léonard aren't exactly "francophones", if that's what you're implying. Even when educated in French, most fall into that allophone category that grates on Jacques Parizeau so. I don't know the Luongos personally, but based on the typical "Montreal ethnic" experience, I'd imagine his parents spoke Italian to him when he was little, and he grew up with equal proficiency in English and French.
Excellent post Thomas. Some really interesting points to think about.
Luongo's mother is not Italian but French, so he spoke both languages at home, though I'd guess from his accent in his younger years (check out interviews around the time he was drafted) that he spoke mostly French. He's actually fluent in all three, which is pretty cool and quite rare in households where parents have different mother tongues.
Great post Thomas! Lots of fascinating analysis of athlete celebrity in the digital age. Twitter certainly seems to bring players more under the microscope yet also offer them an opportunity to craft their image in ways that post-game interviews may not.
I've always been a big Luongo fan, even if I groaned when he made the "pumping tires" comment... But during his time with the Canucks he's been professional and humorous (a tricky combination to balance), to say nothing of being a top notch goaltender. If he leaves the Canucks this summer, I will certainly miss him.

I don't believe this is from the Chlorine tablets, I have seen the same
I looked at your photo. I assume that it is rotated correctly, the leak was on the bottom. I've seen this many a time with copper. Cause ... The owner of this property did not flush their toilet after each use. Lets assume that the mister goes to bed late and did not flush because the toilet does make some noise. Some time later the Mrs. gets up and she goes, again she does not flush, maybe one child does the same. Pretty soon you have a high concentration of urine. Any more use from any family member and as water finds it's own level you have a corrosive liquid gradually taking out the copper. Usually a family with this habit will also have the build up in the jet hole in the bowl. You can send the sample to the Copper Development Association www.copper.org They will analyze and give you a report.
I have replaced the same line as you and the home owner put a 2
I looked over the photo, and surely believe that I've seen this before in a couple of cases. The sewer gases theory is correct, but the chlorine tablets, if flushed, could be the causative of contributory agent. The reasoning? So:
Sort of like cleaning rat urine in a bath remodel with Clorex. That creates that terrible gas you are talking about. I had to leave the room. I found it better to paint over it with Zerolac white lacquer to "mask and seal" the smell.
We have found that in some piping the drain line is rotten on top and
I saw copper ate out by sewer gas at the closet bend and at the wall where trap connects. I guess the sewer gas goes up to trap seal and gets strong at that point, That's why here in St. Louis Mo we could not use dwv anymore, it has to be L cop. I also saw copper ate up by chlorine, but it was a stronger kind, not those tablets you put in bowl, copper is to high to use anymore for waste.
