Chris -- 2018-04-11
One thing we really haven't discussed directly is attribution for the discovery of the individual eggcorns. To start off the discussion, I'm just going to repost what I had already written on a different thread originating in 2006 and containing links to older outside links. Here's what I wrote:
By the way, Wade's original post—from April 2006—really points out the problem of attribution (or who "first" located a particular eggcorn).
Wade lists dozens of examples of reshapings that may or may not be eggcorns: Many don't qualify because they fit some other pattern and precede the date for which the bounds of eggcornicity were first drawn.
At the other extreme, I suppose we could have "finders" who might simply stumple upon a pre-collected list like Wade's and provide the analysis of each entry—laying down the formal steps to ascertain eggcornicity—without giving the original locator credit (or even the first shot at it).
But that's only half the problem. The other problem is that Wade's list was posited in a single posting (with links elsewhere), and many—myself included—were completely unaware of it. I suspect many eggcorns suggested here in the Forum might previously have appeared on a list such as Wade's without the new contributor being aware of those prior efforts.
Just a little food for thought for all of us who come to the Forum with an expectation that "my" eggcorns deserve to enter the Eggcorn Database.
I've never thought attribution for discovery was important. We each have the first time we ran into an eggcorn, but we don't get credit for discovering them.
(after all, we didn't invent them!) (It reminds me of a crack in a Terry Pratchett novel about "discovering" or "exploring" the remote country of Uberwald—actually living there didn't count.)
Attribution, to me, only matters when we come w/ what we hope is evidence of what's going through an eggcorn user's mind—we bring attribution for our SOURCE (and even that source is in all probability not the original—it's just one piece of evidence).
There is no ownership of eggcorns. There IS an "ownership" of this particular database which lies w/ the folks who administrate it. And there's an even less formal "sense of ownership" of the concept of an eggcorn, which we all exhibit when we say, "that's not quite an eggcorn" or "that's a great eggcorn."

Good answer TootsNYC.
I agree. As you said over on the other thread, jorkel (can't remember which thread—how do you guys keep track and reference them?), lots of people have been collecting this kind of thing for years, so finding an eggcorn is no guarantee you are the first to do so. Not everybody's posted their list, so googling may not find them. And what Toots says is the heart of the matter: the real geniuses are those immoralized in the following paragraphs:
I would like to acknowlege my debt to various and sordid people. First and farmost to the real authors of this book, the vast contingency whose fertile unconsciences came up with all the weird and wonderful linguistic fabracations which are here celebated. I cannot, of course, emunerate them, for their names are legen. They range from the head haunches in the upper elechons of the hoi polloi —reknown lumanaries of such renoun as George Bush, Hill and Billary Clinton, Morocco Bomber, and others of that elk—, to such relative non-entities as like I.
Out standing among them is a select corpse of multiple repeat performers, true gold minds for data of this sort; yet even those who rarely goof ocassionally produce a flash of brilliance in the frying pan of life. In any case, I gracefully admit that I could never have begun to write this book withought them.
(All the weirdities are for real. Probably a few eggcorns in there: head haunches for one. You'll enjoy my son's pic for that one: http://www.davidtuggy.com/HeadHaunchesCr.jpg .)
If any of you are interested, I'd be glad to share my collections with you. (Over 15K entries, so there are a lot of them. Blends have been more the center of my interest, but there are plenty of eggcorns; it just takes time to go through and think which ones fit the template, which I'm not sure I understand yet! Yes, I'm one of those who has been at it for years.)

Hi David:
Just trickle your list in a little at a time. It's easier for us to digest it that way. You might try some key words in the search engine to check on the status of things while you're at it.
OK. I don't know the best way to do this, but:
I've extracted two lists from my two biggest databases (of [pretty-sure] blends and [probable] non-blends), according to my very "impressionalistic" ranking system. (I have [not-clearly-blended] misspellings and redundancies in separate databases.) Basically these were goofs I wanted to be sure to get into the book. I'll include the first section or so of one in each of the following two posts here.
Some of these were from other collections (e.g. Rod Mael's list, Steve White's Helenisms) whose compilers gave permission for their use. I can send info on particular examples (e.g. general info about who said or wrote them, who reported them when, etc.) if such is wanted.

One scout said Carlos Delgado is acutally limping at first base and showing no range. "I can't see it," the scout told reporters when asked about Delgado playing first base for the Mets. Delgado, physically, is resembling a broken down DH. You know, DHs even need to run.
So, who's it going to be as Murphy's back-up at first base? Should they bring back Fernando Tatis or sign Ryan Garko. Or, do you have anybody else in mind?
Tatis has the edges in familiarity and versatility. The Mets know he can play both infield and outfield corners and second in a pinch. Garko is strictly a fist baseman, but he does have the power advantage.

More Information
The University of Washington Libraries has recently completed a project to identify and preserve the most important early Washington State agriculture, forestry, and fisheries literature in cooperation with Cornell University, Washington State University, and other institutions.
The project produced comprehensive bibliographies of Washington State agriculture, forestry, and fisheries books and journals published between 1820 and 1945 (2,323 entries). These bibliographies are now available online: http://www.lib.washington.edu/preservation/projects/washag/index.html
A panel of ten scholars and subject experts then ranked the titles on the bibliographies by their importance for preservation. 129 of the titles (315,000+ pages) ranked most important by the panel were preserved on microfilm.
Titles include Pacific Fisherman, Timberman, Better Fruit, and Washington Farmer. In several instances, the project collected the last two or three copies of several early Washington State journals documenting the agriculture, forestry, fisheries, and rural life of the region. Microfilm from the project will also be used to digitize portions of Ranch and Pacific Fisherman as part of other grant projects.
The majority of this project was funded by a National Endowment for the Humanities and United States Agricultural Information Network Preserving the History of United States Agriculture and Rural Life: State and Local Literature, 1820-1945 cooperative grant administered by Cornell University.
Two subsequent grants from the University of Washington Friends of the Libraries and the Washington State Library/Institute of Museum and Library Services funded the preservation of Washington Farmer, an essential record of Washington State agricultural history and rural life published weekly in Spokane, Washington.
The University of Washington Libraries is a network of more than 17 libraries serving three campuses: Seattle, Bothell and Tacoma. Major facilities include Suzzallo and Allen Libraries, Odegaard Undergraduate Library and the Health Sciences Library, as well as subject-oriented libraries.

Rockin' with Clint Bowyer in N.H.
Clint Bowyer Rocks the Granite State
With two career wins, NASCAR Sprint Cup Series driver Clint Bowyer has been rock solid at the Magic Mile. On Thursday, Bowyer etched his name, and car, into another piece of New Hampshire history, scaling a rock wall with fans, pulling a 7,500-pound engraved granite block out of a quarry and taking Governor Maggie Hassan for a burnout as they celebrated what Hassan officially proclaimed as "Rockin' with Clint Day" across the Granite State.
"This was an awesome day," said Bowyer, who currently sits second in the Sprint Cup point standings and is locked into the 10-race Chase for the Sprint Cup Championship playoff - the second of those races being the SYLVANIA 300 at New Hampshire Motor Speedway on Sept. 22. "It's always great to come up here. I love the people, I love the fan base. It's not every day you get to do burnouts, especially with the governor."
Bowyer began his day with a stop at the McAuliffe Discovery Center on the campus of the New Hampshire Technical Institute. Staff from McAuliffe, students from NHTI and fans lined up around an open parking lot that was designated for Bowyer's burnouts. In the passenger seat sat Gov. Hassan, who sported a personally-designed helmet presented to her by Jerry Gappens, executive vice president and general manager of the speedway.
"I think maybe my children will think I'm worth of something because I now have my own racing helmet," said Hassan. "We are so grateful that (Clint) is here, and there is a really great partnership between the state and speedway, so it's my pleasure to be a part of this today."
Sitting shotgun in the New Hampshire Motor Speedway Toyota Camry show car, Hassan was tossed and turned while Bowyer laid rubber donuts across the lot. After they finished, the two signed their names in spray paint within one of the tire-drawn circles.
From there, Bowyer drove across town to Swenson Granite Works, the oldest active granite quarry in the state. Since 1883, Swenson has provided granite for numerous projects, including the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, the Brooklyn Bridge, the Pentagon and New Hampshire Motor Speedway's Granite Stripe start/finish line. Bowyer was the first Sprint Cup driver to kiss the granite at the Magic Mile, winning the 2010 SYLVANIA 300.
Now Bowyer has a souvenir from the quarry. The driver of the No. 15 5-hour Energy Toyota Camry used a 250-foot crane to haul up a 7,500-pound block of granite that featured a highly-detailed engraving of his car, as well as his name and both years (2007 and 2010) he won Cup races at the Magic Mile.
"That's a big rock," said Bowyer, who is hoping to donate the granite block (which will be auctioned off by Speedway Children's Charities) to his hometown of Emporia, Kan. "I donated a community building to my hometown a while back, so as soon as I saw that I thought it would be perfect to put out front of the community building. Somehow we'll figure out how to get it to Kansas."
The rock-themed afternoon wasn't finished, however, as Bowyer made his final stop of the day at Evolution Rock+Fitness, which features climbing walls in excess of 16,000 square feet. Fans attending the event competed in time trials during the day in anticipation of Bowyer's visit. The fastest up the wall earned a spot in a one-on-one race against Bowyer.
The winner was Nick Remington of Concord, who parlayed his qualifying win with a photo-finish victory over Bowyer.
"He's a competitor, even here climbing these walls," said Remington, who received a New Hampshire-shaped granite trophy for his victory. "This was just a lot of fun and something I'll never forget."
"It's been a rocky day," said Bowyer, making light of his loss. "This is the story of my life the last couple weeks. I almost won, but I ran out of talent and gas at the end. But no, this was a cool event and something really cool to be a part of."
Bowyer capped off his afternoon by answering questions from fans and emcee Greg Kretschmar of the "Greg and the Morning Buzz" radio show.
To see if Bowyer can chase down the competition for his first Sprint Cup Championship, details and ticket information on how to purchase tickets to the SYLVANIA 300 NASCAR weekend in September are available at our Ticket Office, speedway website at www.nhms.com, or Ticket Hotline at (603) 783-4931.

Bvasko necesitaba un nuevo diseño de página web y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 24 diseños de 11 diseñadores freelance.
Amrita Yoga Wellness Center
Amrita is a Sanskrit word that literally means "immortality", and is often referred to in texts as nectar.
What really sets this studio apart is the AMAZING atmosphere. You walk into the studio and are immediately greeted by a flowing water fountain (picture coming soon). There is an open airy design, and modern chandelier lighting hanging from the ceiling. Along one wall of the studio is this super modern fireplace (see attached). Private showers and modern locker rooms. Amrita also offers nutritional counseling, massage, and spa services.
Our target audience is 22 - 45 year old urban men and women in the Fishtown neighborhood of Philadelphia. Fishtown has experienced recent growth with an influx of artists and professionals in the area. Our yoga studio is a high-end upscale experience with mid-range prices. Our target demographic probably already belongs to a yoga studio and is looking for something more convenient or with a wider range of services.
I am looking for a home page design that will be part of a larger website. I will design the interior pages based on the look and feel of the home page. The site should be clean and easy to navigate, with a good use of white space. The studio itself incorporates the elements of earth, air, water, and fire. The feel of those things should be reflected in the site.
I would love if the rough wood elements were incorporated, or the fire from the fireplace, or the design of the chandelier.
The studio is under construction literally, but there will be professional photographs featured on the site.

Having ended his 11-year playing career following the 2009 season, Jay Heaps now gets his soccer fix as the Revolution's color commentator
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – As Jay Heaps watched last week's meeting between his beloved New England Revolution and bitter rival Chicago Fire from the broadcast booth, he found it tempting to rip off his tie and bound down the stadium stairs onto the field. After all, that's where he spent the last nine years of his playing career, fighting tooth and nail as a fiery Revolution defender from 2001-09.
But Heaps retired at the end of the 2009 season and traded in his jersey for a microphone, taking over as the Revolution's color commentator on Comcast SportsNet New England alongside longtime play-by-play man Brad Feldman. Well-spoken and remarkably comfortable on camera from the outset – not to mention knowledgeable about the game of the soccer and the Revolution – Heaps' transition from the field to the broadcast booth has been seamless.
Yet despite his composed demeanor while the camera's rolling, Heaps still grapples with the urge to lace up the boots when the whistle blows.
"I think that's been the hardest part, from an emotional standpoint," said Heaps about watching his former teammates go to battle without him. "Even just the other day in Chicago, I felt like I wanted to run out there and help the guys and be there yelling at the ref or whatever it was, because that was how I played the game, with so much emotion. So watching [from the broadcast booth], I still have a lot of those (emotions) flowing through me."
Fighting his desire to jump the advertising boards and join in the action is just one of the obstacles Heaps has encountered in his first season behind the microphone. Always one of the easiest players to interview during his playing days because of his comfort level with public speaking, Heaps has found the role reversal more complicated than he imagined.
"It's something I really enjoy doing, but it's definitely harder than I was expecting," he admitted. "You have to really prepare. It's not just about watching the game, it's also about knowing the underlying stories of each player and opposing teams. It's easy to know a lot about the Revolution players, but it's difficult when you're bringing in new players.
"There are also a couple of technical things just about when to talk, when not to talk and what you're saying," Heaps continued. "There's a lot more going on in the booth than you're expecting, whether it's a producer in your ear, or timing issues and things like that where you're just trying to get the right rhythm. It's like anything; the more you do it, the more repetitions (you get), the better. I think as time goes on, I'm getting more comfortable."
What many fans don't know is that Heaps is simultaneously learning the ropes as a color commentator and adjusting to his new full-time job as an associate with Morgan Stanley. Heaps – who graduated from Duke University in 1999 – interned with the financial services firm while still playing with the Revolution and accepted a job immediately following his retirement from soccer.
Typically the daily commute entails an early-morning train ride from his home outside Boston into his office in the city, but Heaps is currently stationed in New York City while participating in an intensive training program. For the time being he's balancing his attention between his family in Boston, work in New York City and his nomadic job as part of the Revolution's broadcast team.
"It's a difficult schedule, but I've always been someone who wanted to do this," Heaps said while waiting to grab a quick dinner prior to last weekend's game in Kansas City. "I never wanted to walk away from soccer. I knew that I wanted to go for a career maybe a little different than most at the end of my (playing) career in terms of going from soccer into the financial world, but I never wanted to give up soccer completely. This has been a great outlet for me."
Considering the hectic pace of his day-to-day schedule, it would be understandable if Heaps took a bit longer than usual to fine tune his broadcasting skills. Yet it seems as if the 34-year-old has actually done just the opposite, earning praise from his peers for his analysis and preparation from the very start.
Heaps' partner in the booth, Feldman, is one of his biggest proponents.
"He's a quick study and we knew that he would be," Feldman said of Heaps, whom he's known for years. "Jay's always been comfortable around a microphone. He's a good communicator, an articulate guy who obviously knows the game inside and out from his career as a pro player.
"But he's adapted more quickly than I might've even guessed because he has impeccable work habits," Feldman continued. "He does the homework, he talks to people, he reads, he asks questions, he has the humility to ask if he's done something the right way and he has the intelligence and the adaptability to make adjustments on the fly. I think he's an excellent color commentator already, and I think he's only going to get better."
Feldman admitted to being amazed at the level of preparation Heaps manages considering his dual jobs, claiming his new color commentator has already been thinking about storylines and key players for the Revolution's upcoming opponent prior to the weekly Monday conference call.
"He stays abreast of everything," Feldman said. "I'm always surprised when he shows up on game day how much he's paid attention to other teams and other games around the league, especially since he has another career going concurrently. He's able to keep one eye on MLS at all times."
For his part, Heaps gives much of the credit for his ease of transition into the broadcasting world to Feldman, who has been an invaluable resource to the rookie announcer.
"Brad's been great," said Heaps. "I think Brad has made it for me. His commitment is contagious. He's probably the most prepared guy in the league at what he does and how he does it, so when you see that, you realize to be able to be in step with him, you really have to bring your game."
Throughout his playing career, Heaps never stepped onto the field without bringing his game. It would appear as if he's taken a comparable approach to broadcasting, and the similarities are not lost on Heaps.
"Overall, I really have enjoyed it," he said. "It's been a very good link for me, retiring but still having a hand in what's going on in the soccer world."

Sy1980 needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 183 designs submitted by 61 freelance designers.
fGear.tv is an online automotive TV channel. You can see it at http://www.fgear.tv
We're looking for a logo that not only will be put on our videos, photo's and website, but also something that people will want to wear on T-shirts, caps etc. Our existing logo looks too much like the Top Gear logo, so we need something diferent. So no "gears" or "gearbox" icons. Our target market is anyone who has an interest in cars, especially sports cars. If you visit http://www.fgear.tv, you can see the existing logo applied to videos & photo's.
It amy sound like a cliche, but what we are looking for is something cool and different. Something eye catching and easily recognisable.
We have a tag like "the fast car channel", but are happy to have a logo without it.
Thanks for reading and good luck.
EDIT: Sorry, forgot to mention the most importnat thing. The word fGear is made up of two parts. The "f" and "Gear" and is pronounced as two separate words... f gear. So it's important that there is distinction between the two. The "f" stands for "fast". ie: fast gear although we are now doing slow cars as well.

I'm armed with beta readers who are diligently editing the ever-living fuck out of my manuscript, and a brand new blog where the chapters will be posted (so I can keep track of page views and search keywords and all that fun stuff, separate from this blog). Right now, it's just a post with a countdown and some unfinished pages that will later have stuff on them, but feel free to have a look and bookmark it in advance of the January 15th kickoff. I'll also be posting links to the chapters here, so don't panic if change makes you afeared.
There is one tiny detail that I'm still missing: legions of slavering, rabid fans who will make The Boss the most viewed free serialized novel of all time. Go big or go home, right? And everyone knows that word of mouth is what drives a book's success. That's where some of you come in.
Do you tweet? Do you Facebook? Do you have a livejournal or a blog? Occasionally, do other humans look at these things with their eyeballs or an assistive reading device? Fantastic! You're just the person I'm looking for.
I'm forming up a digital street team, dear readers. This is how it works. If you volunteer to be a part of my street team, your job will be to talk about The Boss on social media. Post links when new chapters go up, write a few lines about what you thought of the latest installment or just tell people, "Hey, there's this free book, have you heard of it?" If you wanted to start talking about The Boss like it's a new religion you just converted to, that works fine by me, of course. And in return for this, I will give you:
- Every chapter of The Boss in .pdf format, five days before it goes up on the blog. (You'd get chapter one on the tenth, instead of the fifteenth, for example)
- A nifty graphic to put where ever you want to proclaim that you're on the street team
- Access to a secret Pinterest board where I post visual inspiration for characters, settings, etc.
- Your name or pseudonym credited
- My eternal and undying gratitude
I can't promise this will be a success. I can't promise that I know what I'm doing. But I can promise that grilling a peanut butter sandwich makes it ten times more delicious than usual, and that even if all of this fails miserably, I'm going to have a good time doing it.

I descend from a fellow named John Lawrence, who lived 1757-1797 in Mullion, and whose burial record alarmingly states: "Wilfully murdered Cadgwith." I'm curious about the circumstances of this murder, but have been unable to find any additional details. Knowing more about it would complete a very interesting family story, which ended with John's wife, Catherine, becoming destitute after the murder, to the point where she was forced out of her parish.
I know that there are some out there who are quite experienced in finding out more about historical crimes, such as Australians who are likely to descend from the other side of such events. So, can anyone help me dig up more about this murder, such as who (if anyone) was convicted, and what the motive was? Perhaps someone has access to the assizes of 1797 and shortly thereafter?
Late 18th century crime records?

The House of Errors
La Casa degli orrori — The House of Horrors — was the Italian title for 1945's House of Dracula, Universal's penultimate "Monster Rally". The garishly colored manifesto is an early effort for painter/illustrator Angelo Cesselon (1922-1992) who would go on to a brilliant and influential thirty-plus-year career as a movie poster artist renowned for his portrait work. Although his Frankenstein Monster and Wolf Man here are very fanciful interpretations, note the excellent likenesses of Onslow Stevens and John Carradine.
Speaking of Onslow Stevens, notice anything? Prominently featured, top left, the film's lead — playing a scientist who cures Chaney's lycanthropy only to be tragically poisoned by Carradine's vampire blood — is inexplicably identified as Ludwig Stössel, the perennial supporting actor who appears as a doomed gardener. Another mistake: Top right, the Frankenstein Monster is credited to Boris Karloff. Mind you, Karloff does appear as The Monster in brief stock footage scenes lifted from Bride of Frankenstein, as does Chaney from The Ghost of Frankenstein, but the role in this film, of course, belongs to Glenn Strange.
Mixed-up credits aside, La Casa degli orrori is a dynamic poster with pulp illustration sensibilities.

Cool weird poster. Oddly, I noticed Ludwig Stossel's name instantly, but Karloff's not at all. I guess I'm so used to seeing Boris's name on posters that it just slides by.
Nice image, Pierre. Thanks.

Is it possible that Mr. Pratt's presence there is not a mistake, but a marketing ploy?

Wich: Considering the random credits and mixups, I think we have an honest mistake here as opposed to a nefarious ploy. I went looking for more CASA posters and found the wackiness was generalized: http://frankensteinia.blogspot.ca/2013/11/more-casa-degli-orrori-posters.html

The Occupy movement has been a wake-up call. Although the media first balked at covering it and has at times reduced it to its most absurd, the stories keep coming. People are being made aware of important core issues: the huge divide between the rich and poor. There are poor, and it's no fun being poor.
This isn't a "lunatic fringe." The 99 percent are a flash mob of humanity waking up to their own best self-interests.

Red Sox add three players to 40-man roster
BOSTON, MA-The Red Sox today selected outfielder Bryce Brentz and right-handed pitcher Anthony Ranaudo to the Major League roster from Triple-A Pawtucket, and selected third baseman Garin Cecchini to the roster from Double-A Portland. With the moves, Boston's 40-man roster is now at 39.
The announcement was made by Executive Vice President/General Manager Ben Cherington.
BOSTON, MA-The Red Sox today selected outfielder Bryce Brentz and right-handed pitcher Anthony Ranaudo to the Major League roster from Triple-A Pawtucket, and selected third baseman Garin Cecchini to the roster from Double-A Portland. With the moves, Boston's 40-man roster is now at 39.
The announcement was made by Executive Vice President/General Manager Ben Cherington.
Brentz, 24, hit .264 (86-for-326) with 16 doubles, one triple, 17 home runs, 56 RBI, 36 runs, and 20 walks in 82 regular-season games for Pawtucket in 2013. He led the PawSox in home runs and placed second on the club in RBI, total bases (155), and slugging percentage (.475). He hit 19 home runs overall this past season, including two on rehab with the Gulf Coast League Red Sox, tying for the most for a Boston minor leaguer. Brentz appeared primarily in right field at Pawtucket with 55 games at the position, and also played 14 games in left field. The right-handed batter went 4-for-34 with two doubles, one home run, and two RBI in eight International League Playoff games, tying for the IL Playoff lead with three extra-base hits.
Selected by Boston in the supplemental first round (36th overall) of the 2010 June Draft, Brentz has hit .273 (419-for-1,536) with 87 doubles, 10 triples, 71 home runs, 273 RBI, 220 runs, and 123 walks in 399 minor league games. He entered the 2013 season rated as the eighth-best prospect in the Red Sox system according to Baseball America.
The 22-year-old Cecchini split the 2013 season between High-A Salem and Double-A Portland, batting a combined .322 (146-for-454) with 33 doubles, seven triples, seven home runs, 61 RBI, 80 runs, 94 walks, a .443 on-base percentage, and 23 stolen bases in 129 games. He led all minor leaguers in on-base percentage and topped Red Sox farmhands in average this season. The left-handed batter began the year by hitting .350 (75-for-214) with 43 walks, a .469 on-base percentage, and .547 slugging percentage in 63 games for Salem and was named a mid-season Carolina League All-Star. He also twice earned Carolina League Player of the Week honors before his late June promotion to Portland. Cecchini played for the U.S. Team in the 2013 All-Star Futures game and went 1-for-2 with an RBI in a 4-2 U.S. win. After the season, he played for Surprise in the Arizona Fall League and hit .277 (18-for-65) with four doubles, nine RBI, nine runs, and 17 walks in 18 games and helped the Saguaros to the league's title. He was also the 2013 recipient of the AFL's Dernell Stenson Sportsmanship Award.
Taken by the Red Sox in the fourth round of the 2010 June Draft, Cecchini is a .312 (319-for-1,023) career hitter with 83 doubles, 12 triples, 14 home runs, 146 RBI, 185 runs, 172 walks, and 86 stolen bases in 279 minor league games. He entered the 2013 season ranked as Boston's seventh-best prospect according to Baseball America and was named the Red Sox Base Runner of the Year in 2012.
Ranaudo, 24, spent most of the 2013 season with Double-A Portland where he was named to both the Eastern League's mid-season and year-end All-Star teams. He went 8-4 with a 2.95 ERA (36 ER/109.2 IP), 106 strikeouts and 40 walks, and held opponents to a .204 average over 19 starts with the Sea Dogs before an August promotion to Pawtucket. The right-hander went 3-1 with a 2.97 ERA (10 ER/30.1 IP), 21 strikeouts, and seven walks in six games, including five starts, with the PawSox over the final month of the season and also made two starts for Pawtucket during the International League playoffs. His combined 11 wins between Portland and Pawtucket tied for the most among Red Sox minor leaguers, and he was third in that group in strikeouts (127), and fourth in ERA (2.96). Ranaudo also pitched for the U.S. team at the 2013 All-Star Futures game.
Selected by Boston in the supplemental first round (39th overall) of the 2010 June Draft, Ranaudo is 21-14 with a 3.84 ERA (130 ER/304.2 IP) and 271 strikeouts compared to 120 walks in 60 career minor league games (59 starts).

Pittsburgh Steelers' Super Bowl Quarterback Ben Roethlisberger Announces Baltimore Area K-9 Grant
Pittsburgh, PA – Today, Pittsburgh Steelers' Super Bowl Quarterback and Findlay, OH native, Ben Roethlisberger, announced the seventh grant of the 2012-13 season from the Ben Roethlisberger Foundation at The Giving Back Fund. The Foundation will be distributing a grant to the Baltimore Police Department where the Steelers will play the Ravens Sunday, December 2.
The Baltimore Police Department plans to use the funds to add a bomb-detecting dog to their K-9 unit and to purchase a bite suit for training purposes.
During the 2012-13 NFL season, The Ben Roethlisberger Foundation is distributing grants to K-9 units of police and fire departments in the cities and surrounding communities of each regular season away game for the Steelers. The Foundation will also distribute several grants to the Pittsburgh area and will consider grants to any two non-NFL market cities in the United States if the Steelers make the playoffs. The Ben Roethlisberger Foundation invited police and fire departments across the country to submit proposals detailing their needs.
This marks the sixth season that the Ben Roethlisberger Foundation has distributed grants to K-9 units. The mission of the Ben Roethlisberger Foundation is to support K-9 units of police and fire departments throughout the United States with a particular emphasis on support for service dogs in Pittsburgh, PA and to support other charitable organizations, such as the Make-A-Wish Foundation.
In commenting on why the mission of the foundation is so important to him, Roethlisberger said, "We're very fortunate to be in the position that we are able to help these K-9 units. The work that is performed by the dogs and their handlers as well as the bond that is formed is incredible. We're just thrilled to do our small part."
For more information about the Ben Roethlisberger Foundation or The Giving Back Fund, please contact Stephanie Sandler or visit www.bigben7.com or www.givingback.org.
About Ben Roethlisberger
Ben Roethlisberger is in his ninth season as quarterback for the Pittsburgh Steelers, and already has secured his place in the record books. At 6-foot-5 and 245 pounds, he is aptly referred to as Big Ben, and has become known for big performances and a humble approach. Roethlisberger guided the team to two Super Bowl victories (XL, XLII) in the past six years. In 2009, he led the Steelers to a 27-23 victory over the Arizona Cardinals in Tampa with a thrilling touchdown pass in the final minute. In 2006, Roethlisberger became the youngest starting quarterback to win a Super Bowl, defeating the Seattle Seahawks 21-10 in Detroit. Roethlisberger was voted to the Pro Bowl in 2007 and 2012, and already owns the Steelers' top five single-season records for QB rating. He is the only quarterback to lead his team to the conference championship game in each of his first two seasons. He was the unanimous Rookie of the Year in 2004, breaking Dan Marino's rookie records for completion percentage and passer rating, and was the first quarterback in NFL history to compile a 13-0 regular season record as a rookie.
Roethlisberger was raised in Findlay, OH and was a three-sport star at Findlay High School. He went on to set nearly every quarterback record at Miami University (Ohio) prior to foregoing his senior season and becoming the 11th overall pick by the Pittsburgh Steelers in the 2004 NFL Draft. Roethlisberger resides near Pittsburgh with his wife Ashley and his two dogs, Zeus and Hercules.

Love your new template.Very tasteful!
- July 21, 2010 at 8:19 AM
Your blog, though perhaps valid in some of its aesthetic judgment comes across as unkind to me. I wish you would try to be more specific about the principles you advocate without actually hurting people's feelings. I would be more able to understand your point of view. Your blog paints you as too unkind of a person for me to take seriously as it now is, and I am sure that is not true of you, and I think detracts from some very good points you have to make.
- July 21, 2010 at 8:51 AM

Lighten up, will ya?
Pastor Peters:
Catholic vesture has actually been trending towards either tasteful/traditional (like Holy Rood Guild) or weird/tacky. Many firms offer both.

Anonymous - yeah, be gone, you have no powers here. This place is NOT inclusive.
- July 21, 2010 at 12:56 PM
Is that Desmond Tutu on the far left? He's been known to rock some pretty unholy vestments from time to time, but I think this takes this cake.
- July 21, 2010 at 2:15 PM
Anon, it is not possible in this day and age of the inalienable human right to not be offended to speak one's principles specifically (if indeed they are principles) and not hurt someone's feelings.
Consider Our Lord's words, "They do all their deeds to be seen by others, For they make their phylactaries broad and their fringes long, and they love the place of honor at the feats and the best seats in the synagogues and greetings in the marketplaces and being called rabbi by others." (Matthew 23:5-7)
Was that unkind?
What point of view could be more clear than 'because Christian worship is not supposed to be about you?'
- July 21, 2010 at 2:22 PM
Dave: Maybe I am being too serious, but I also think I have a point. I have grown so weary of Christians dis-ing each other. You know it really gets old.
Midwestnorwegian: You would like me to leave, and now I will. I do hope you don't say 'begone' to anyone who challenges your opinions. You cut off your opportunity to grow. But you can continue to come here and feel smug. Doesn't it feel great to be better than everyone else?
Panzerfaust: I believe our culture does encourage people to be over sensitive. On that I find some sympathy in what you say. And no I don't think that was unkind. I thought it was helpful. I do however think you would be able to state your principles so that I could understand them rather than just make snide comments about others. However if your arguments are mainly "ad hominem" then you are not living up to the motto yourself. You have just made it about you.
I do think this website looks like a "yea I'm right ego trip" and not anything that builds up others. But you can choose your own way of life. I am now out of here.
- July 21, 2010 at 6:48 PM
I think it is the bishop in the center with the crozier giving the "may the Force be with you" sign.
- July 21, 2010 at 10:44 PM
The two bishops in the center (the one with the crozier and the one in the gold) aren't THAT bad. But that HYOO-MUNGUSS miter precariously perched on the tiny little bishop to the far left... WOW. That's all I can say.
- July 22, 2010 at 12:26 AM
- Christopher Johnson said...
The rationale behind this site is summed up in that phrase just below its title. When I go to worship God, I'm not even remotely interested in what you think about anything.
Your entire job as a minister of the Gospel is to direct all my attention to Him, to help me worship Him and to explain His Word. So I don't particularly care what youfind moving or symbolic.
Bad vestments, therefore, are a distraction. And anything which distracts me from the worship He is due is, in my opinion, worthy of ridicule.
- July 22, 2010 at 3:23 AM
I just have to say that this site is just awful and wonderful at the same time. Someone needed to point out the bad taste that goes on every Sunday in our Churches......and YES you are totally right it not about the celebrant!!!
- July 22, 2010 at 7:58 PM
- Andrew said...
Actually, most of the vestments here, if taken individually, aren't so bad. Its the ridiculous cacophony of styles that makes this picture hard to look at.
The "bishop" with the crozier is wearing nice enough vestments; the golden vestments next to him are decent, as are the vestements of the man in the far right and the second from left in the foreground.
- July 24, 2010 at 12:47 AM
- Robert Badger said...
Roman Catholics tend to have matching vestments for these sorts of occasions. Many dioceses will provide their priests with matching chasubles for major occasions like the chrism Mass plus a number of extras on hand for visiting priests and bishops. Maybe it is harder to have matching copes, given the height variations in bishops.
Many of these vestments would be fine if there were but one bishop celebrating. But all together they clash!

Speaking of a pride parade, the French bishops hired a major French designer to design the vestments for World Youth Day 1997. Rainbow was the colour of the day and the bishops wore colour coordinated mitres.
The papal vestments weren't much better, I'm afraid. They were recently on exhibition at the Cathedral of Notre Dame, although I can't imagine why.
- July 24, 2010 at 1:13 PM
- Chris said...
If more of the bishops had opted for rochet and chimere (which should, IIRC, be paired with a tippet - and certainly never with a stole), that would certainly have been no bad thing.
Does anybody know what the occasion is, by the way? It would assist in judging whether quite so many bishops in copes were really required. "Is your mitre really necessary?"
- July 24, 2010 at 2:03 PM
Chris, it looks like this was the team introductions at the worldwide Anglican baseball All-Star Game.
- July 25, 2010 at 1:09 AM
Looks to me like one of them mugged a Sister of Charity for her blue and white sari.
- July 25, 2010 at 4:24 PM
What gave it away?
You mean besides the fact that they can't seem to agree on what liturgical season it is? Also, we have the "Geneva gown and scarf, I'll be boiled alive before I wear Papist vestments" set at the back (though in a nice colourful red rather than the usual black, I must admit).
- July 26, 2010 at 4:35 PM
The Bishop in gold is ++Frank Griswald who was Presiding Bishop and Primate of The Episcopal Church.
The occasion? I'm gonna guess the ordination of the Bishop holding the Crosier.
- July 30, 2010 at 7:47 PM
That "tiny" bishop with the humongous mitre is Desmond Tutu.
- August 3, 2010 at 9:38 AM
- Chris said...
As I understand it, the functional rationale for wearing a mitre is so that everyone knows who is in charge. But this is ridiculous; who's ring am I supposed to kiss?
And are consecrations now held on basketball courts?
- August 26, 2010 at 9:15 AM
- stpetric said...
@fuinseoig -- That's not a "Geneva gown and scarf" set at the back. They're wearing rochets and chimeres, which are medieval English choir vestments. As Chris pointed out, they ought to be paired with a tippet rather than a stole, but use of the stole has caught on among many low-church bishops who will only go so far with eucharistic vestments.

Love the blog, but don't get this post. Is the idea that EVERY PIECE of the bishop's vestment's in this photo is tacky? That would be quite a feat to achieve even (or especially) if one asked each bishop to wear their worst. It might look nicer if every bishop were wearing similar gear, but that would cost a ridiculous amount of money AND would obscure the significance of each bishop bearing blessings from a particular diocese.

Agree with SDB on this one.
The event seems to be the consecration of Bp. Nathan Baxter of the Episcopal Diocese of Central PA back in the fall of '06. Bp. Tutu was the preacher.

It's true that the subjects of photographer Todd Forsgren's photographs are held against their will, but they're only detained briefly. They are entangled in mist nets, barely perceptible latticeworks of incredibly fine nylon cord, used by ornithologists to capture and study wild birds.
According to Time, Forsgren has been teaming up with bird researchers since 2006. He joins them in the field during their research outings, offering copies of his prints in exchange for the opportunity to photograph the birds being caught and released in the mist nets. It's a rare and, at times, unsettling sight seeing these otherwise graceful birds in such compromising positions, but strangely captivating, nonetheless.
You'll find many more examples of Forsgen's work at his website. Prints are available at 20x200.

I use this seat to commute with my son every day. He and I both like it very much. It feels well balanced and very secure. He's tall for his age but he fits well and loves the ride. Our trips are pretty short but he is comfortable the entire time. Installation was very easy, and the quick release bracket is handy for taking the seat off if I'm going for a ride by myself. The empty seat is useful if you are grabbing a bag of groceries or two as well.

Dresser/Bureau Treasures
Does any of this look familiar? I think Steve had posted the chip carved box that also had a place of prominence on the dresser/bureau. Memories?
4 comments:
- Elizabeth said...
As I went through these treasures with Ann this morning, I couldn't help but reflect on the simplicity of the life we lived. Most things had a purpose, and were kept and treasured because they were useful and decorative. I used to love to look in the Whitman Sampler box because it contained Mother's pretty hankies. And the lavender tin box was a real treasure, full of this and that. Mother used to take out the tatting shuttles and make us a few rounds of lace when she went through the contents of her cedar chest (with us hanging over her). Life had it's priorities, and they didn't include time for making lovely lace, but she certainly knew how.

For some reason, anything that I write about these precious belongings doesn't do them justice. So I will just thank Ann for the pictures and stirring the memories of exploring Mother's few personal things. Who has not felt a loss when throwing away their own Whitman Sampler box? Shouldn't it be saved for something useful? Not only did Mother value the simple stuff, but she passed that on to the "Six" genration.
- September 14, 2010 at 8:48 AM
- Dwight said...
How much more stuff did you make off with? I truly have not seen these two things for at least 60 years. Of course, we checked to see what was kept in them. Hankies, I think, in the Whitman's box. We never saw another Whitman's box, but every Christmas Dad got at least one box of cherry chocolates. Once a year. And that had to last another year. And we each got one or two, and that memory had to last forever.

Talk about a trip back in time. What sweet memories these few simple things bring to mind. And what a lesson, that it is the simple things that are the most endearing and enduring. How I treasured these as I was growing up. I actually kept a Whitman's sampler box that I got in college because of Mother's box, but mine is pretty battered and the lid is off, i keep old transfer patterns that I collected over the years in it.

- Weddings. Portraits. Events
- From San Diego to San Luis Obispo, California
- Hi! I'm Julia Moegelin! I am a wedding and portrait photographer residing in Orange County, California. I often work anywhere from San Diego to San Luis Obispo and love to travel throughout California and beyond for my clients. My life's focus is on "the eternal" but while I'm here I have a pretty good start on my life-long to-do list. I've jumped from 13,000 feet out of an air plane, swam with wild dolphins, sang in Carnegie Hall, and toured Dachau concentration camp. I view life as a gift and great adventure. Whether I'm traveling to new places or simply enjoying the little things every day, I love to chronicle these important moments and events in my life and with my family. I'd love to do the same for you and your loved ones. My greatest treasures are the memories and photos I have captured of families, holiday celebrations, reunions, graduations, weddings, newborns and more. I know you want to capture and commemorate the same precious moments for years to come to celebrate the generations of your own families. I would be honored to create new memories with you.

Area banks will soon bid for Davidson County's banking services.
Area banks will soon bid for Davidson County's banking services.
For the past four years, the county has banked with BB&T. That contract runs out in August, and staff is preparing to start the request for proposal process, Davidson County Manager Robert Hyatt told the Davidson County Board of Commissioners on Tuesday night.
Earlier this year, the board voted to allow the finance department to renegotiate with BB&T for another three-year extension. BB&T came back with a proposal that included costs higher than fees paid in previous years, said Zeb Hanner, assistant Davidson County manager.
"The staff felt like we couldn't, without a shadow of a doubt, tell the board that was the best deal," Hanner said. "We couldn't guarantee that."
Banking service charges cost the county about $48,000 last fiscal year, said Davidson County Finance Director Jane Kiker.
Before BB&T, the county banked with NewBridge Bank and its predecessor, LSB TheBank.
Davidson County Commissioner Billy Joe Kepley voted against renegotiating with BB&T earlier this year. He thought all local banks should receive a fair shake at the county contract.
"I didn't think it was fair at all, and it's really not a good governmental policy," Kepley said. "I know that some of the other banks were interested in putting a bid on that. That was the way BB&T secured the contract, and I would think the other banks would have been waiting to get their chance again to better the contract they offered before and better BB&T."
Hanner said it is important the county's banking services provider be located in the county and close to Lexington, since money is being transported constantly. If the county did use a bank in Thomasville or Denton, for example, officials would have to pay for that money to be transported for security reasons, Hanner said.

A request for GGB
Received an email the other day asking for some Gael Garcia Bernal. Then last night he showed up at a screening for Inglourious Basterds in New York. Wish fulfillment.
GGB is in New York shooting Letters to Juliet with Amanda Seyfried. Apparently he plays her boyfriend.
This is the job of a casting director, I guess. They see things first, we figure it out later.
As for Amanda, am attaching another set of photos from her day on set yesterday, this time in a white shirt with black slacks.
Her character obviously isn't a fashion plate. That yellow dress – see here – was total mother of the bride. One day I need to post a photo of what my mother wore to our wedding.
Dolores Umbridge meets the Queen of England.

I discovered I have been off in my weeks. Just following Jim. The Amazing Race 20 PTTE Game
Are you ready for some PTTE?
What's a PTTE, you ask?
Well, PTTE is short for "Picks To The End"
It is a boot list prediction game.
It is a game about the order of who IS kicked off each week
New players are always welcome, and for new folks who want to play the PTTE game this season, here's how it works:
Here's the goal:
Post your prediction about the REMAINING elimination order for the season, starting with the first team to be eliminated and ending with the winner. Please put WINNER next to the team that you think will win.
This doesn't need to have any analysis, although you're welcome to throw anything in that you want. With any spoiler information available to you, coupled with your own intuition, see how well you can do.
The game won't close for a few weeks, but all picks made after the first episode begins will incur a point penalty... the earlier you enter, the less points you can earn, so enter early!
Remember, the goal is to end the season with the fewest points.
The Team Eliminated in 7th place
Now on to the Scores
Place Name Score on current list Upward movement ^ In case of ties, I alphabetize. * Free List Change
Congrats you two, you still have a perfect score.Can you keep it up?
* 1. louislam - 0* 1. vennui 0
* 3. KwietOne 3
* 4. kircon 5
* 6. beau_30 - 7* 6. Yogi - 7
Here's the way that the scoring works:
1) You do NOT want points... they're bad... it's like golf. Every point counts against you in the standings, so try to avoid them.
2) Points will be awarded to every contestant in the game after each episode of The Amazing Race 20. They will be awarded as the difference between where you thought this week's eliminee would finish and where the eliminee actually finished.
If it is a non-elimination episode, then no points will be scored for that week, and if there is a double-elimination episode, the eliminees will be scored according to the order they were eliminated.
For example: If you think Misa & Maiya will come in 5th, and they actually come in 11th, you'll receive 6 points (the difference between 11th and 5th) for that week's episode.
3) You will be given 4 penalty points every time you change your PTTE list after the first episode has aired, but it's only 4 points so change your list if you think it will help you out.
4) If you do not enter before the third episode, you will start with a score equivalent to 8 points per episode you missed.
5) I will post a few tiebreaker questions in the event of ties at the end of the season. These are important, as tiebreakers have decided the winner in seasons past! 1st Tiebreaker Question This travel contest is closed. Thanks for sharing. Have fun this summer, even if its in your backyard.These players Received 1 tiebreaker point for the answer.Yogibeau_30KwietOnekircon

This travel contest is closed. Thanks for sharing. Have fun this summer, even if its in your backyard.

That's it for now. Post your list. Sit back and enjoy the next episode of:
The Amazing Race 20
I will lock in your list and tiebreaker question at 7:59 pm EDT on Sunday, April 1, 2012.

It's not my best work but it works. Here's what I submitted as my work sample.
TFPF 2011 Work Sample from sarah gonzography on Vimeo.
I'm not going to get my hopes up about the TFPF grant. A lot super talented people apply to it every year so I know the competition is stiff. If I don't get it, I will just try again next year and hope for the best. Getting this grant would be amazing because it would be the catalyst to all the other grants. Grants are funny like that, they usually want to give to you if another grant has already awarded you a grant.
I should feel really good but I can't help but feel like I forgot something. I keep reminding myself that there is no use worrying about something I can't do anything about now.
We're still doing our Indiegogo Campaign and it's going well; I appreciate all the contributions but we're not where I would have liked to be. I hope that the next 60 is goes well.

Tax Director Gets Pay Bump
The Barnes County Commission voted unanimously to raise the pay of the county Tax Director Betty Koslovski from Grade 9 to Grade 11.
Koslovski wiped tears from her eyes as she asked for worthwhile compensation from the commission.
"I think for what your position entails, you definitely should be a (Grade) 10 for sure," Commissioner John Froelich said.
Koslovski is head of the county's tax department, and Commissioner Phil Leitner said the responsibilities of county department heads varies from office to office.
Leitner said if Koslovski is not the best department head the county has, she definitely is among the top three.
"All department heads are not created equal in their job responsibilities," Leitner said.
"She clearly deserves to be paid more than a Grade 9."

Funny thing about October... Grey, chilly and wet weather somehow is romantic. Same weather in late November has me grumbling. I'm not sure what that's about. It's perfect soup weather - either way. And, frankly, by November, I'm already craving Spring - in fact, it's only thick and hearty soups and stews that get me through the wintery months without killing anyone. Did I say that out loud?! OOPS. Back to this soup.
I've actually been thinking about it for a couple of weeks, and yet didn't get to make it until yesterday. Some things... after dreaming about them for a while, don't meet one's expectations.
Not so this simple, but simply delicious soup. I call it "The Perfect Fall Soup" because... well... it is! I mean, just look at that gorgeous broth... the color is Autumn itself, and you'll have to make it to get all those awesome aromas... the sweetness of the leeks, the thyme that brings out the mushrooms and makes the whole so earthy. But the real secret is the broth. I wait for the first cool days of late summer when all those tomatoes, carrots and mushrooms show up at the market to make some roasted vegetable broth and then fill my freezer with ziplock baggies in 2 cup proportions - perfect for a single serving and a perfect base for anything. One of my favorites is Adzuki Bean Stew (but I digress). Roasting the vegetables and garlic only take 20 minutes and fill the house with the most magical aromas and then the slow simmering for a couple of hours does the rest while you just continue to inhale and smile. See why I make a huge batch? Pulling a bag of frozen broth out of the freezer makes any weather bearable.
This time, because I have pasta on the brain... Tigerfish of Teczcape is hosting this week's Presto Pasta Night Roundup, I added some orecchiette. If you have a pasta recipe, just email tigerfish1101 (at) yahoo (dot)com (dot) sg and cc me - ruth (at) 4everykitchen (dot) com by Thursday night.
Not only that, but a wonderful blogger - Girlichef and some friends came up with another awesome weekly event...Hearth & Soul - don't you just love the sound of that? Head over to find out all about it.
What's the dish you think about forever before you finally succumb to cooking it?

The Perfect Fall Leek Soup
4 comments:
- girlichef said...
You're right, Ruth...this is the perfect bowl of soup for fall! I have to admit, though...I never tire of this weather. Sure, I crave a little bit of sunshine here and there, but I bask in the melancholy ;) Wish I had a big bowl right now...so glad you shared it with the hearth and soul hop this week :)
- October 27, 2010 3:08 PM
- Christy said...
Ruth what a heavenly bowl of soup- I just love leeks in my veggie soup, they are just perfect for it! My favorite part of fall and winter is the soups and stews and all the heartiness of it! Thanks for sharing this with us at the Hearth and Soul Hop!
- October 27, 2010 8:28 PM
- Claudia said...
I love a good soup like this, and we've been getting some nice leeks from our CSA.
- October 30, 2010 10:29 PM
- Ruth Daniels said...
Thanks ladies. Another great fall dish is stew - and leeks are lovely in that too.

Anderson Group CPA
We're accountants, there's no hiding that. We know that most people cringe when they think of taxes: we smile. We know that CPA's and accountants are "boring": we're not. We are a progressive, fun company, and we're really good at helping businesses (of all sizes) with any and all tax needs: returns, payroll, planning, bookkeeping, consulting, IRS resolution, etc... Our partners are all under the age of 45 (young for our line of work), and we truly enjoy what we do.
This site will mostly be a resource for our existing clients. Business owners make up a majority of our clients. Our existing clients are all ages, but a majority are probably over 40. So a very simple and clean navigation is important. However, we need it to appeal to new clients as well. Although most of our new business stems from referrals, it's very important that we have a professional image online to be consistent with the referral we were given.
We need a homepage design that is more progressive than a standard accountant or CPA firm. It's important to find a balance of being innovative but still appealing to business professionals.
• The colors and design concept of our logo needs to be apparent in the site design
• Minimal copy should be on the homepage, instead we'd like bold imagery/graphics with a way to incorporate our company goals (maximize refunds, prepare our clients, and ethical and fair accounting services). Feel free to get creative here.
• Homepage needs a prominent "client portal" button. The client portal allows clients to login and see past returns, documents, etc...
We need a home page only.

NYC Super Bowl Weekend at the Museum: 2/1 and 2/2 main content.
by AMNH on
Need a break from pondering the pigskin this Super Bowl weekend? The Museum's Space Show, Dark Universe, can transport you to the edges of space, while our 45 exhibition halls offer windows onto nature, from the familiar to the fantastic.
The universe is less than 5 percent ordinary matter; what makes up the other 95 percent? Researchers have not yet pinned that down, but you can see the most up-to-date visualizations of dark matter in our new Space Show, Dark Universe. Learn more and buy tickets.
Newly restored and reopened in the fall of 2012, the Bernard Family Hall of North American Mammals features more than 40 splendid dioramas featuring some of the 500 or so mammal species found in North America.
Visit two wolves at midnight, galloping across the northern Minnesota snow, with the Northern Lights at their backs.
See majestic brown bears, in Canoe Bay, Alaska, on the prowl for salmon.
Watch a video to learn more about the restoration of the dioramas.
Visiting the Bernard Family Hall of North American Mammals is free for Members or with Museum admission.
