Wills & Probate Disputes
Are you in a dispute with a family member over a Wills and Probate Issue?
Need a fast and affordable solution?
Capitol Family Mediation
Here at Capitol, we are experts in dealing with sensitive family issues.
We all go through traumatic times in our lives and understandably need help in getting through difficult situations. When things in a family or within a couple begin to go wrong, sometimes good advice and mediation can be hard to come by. At Capitol, we try to offer impartial advice in a comforting and approachable environment, where all parties can contribute and share their opinions without judgment.
When a couple of divorces or a close family member dies, the emotional and psychological stress on an individual can be indescribable. Often tension within a family can become insurmountable and money issues can begin to arise. If children are involved in potential divorce proceedings, the tension between both parties involved can cause irreparable damage
Resolving Wills, estates and trust disputes without going to court
All of our team at Capitol, are fully qualified mediators, who are professionally adept to discuss situations with parties.
The fragility of certain situations means that they have to be dealt with delicately and we ensure that our mediators make you feel as though you are being listened to.
Importantly, our mediators apply a certain 'personal touch' to every scenario to ensure that disputes are tackled with empathy and understanding.
Services Offered and Avoiding Legal Proceedings
Mediators working for Capitol deal with a range of family issues such as divorce, separation, financial disputes and wills.
We take on a range of disputes because we believe that we have the necessary expertise and professionalism to help you come to a reasonable conclusion.
Parties involved need to be honest and open-minded when they attend a mediation session so that communication can be constructive and meaningful.
Essentially, you need to have in mind what you want from the mediation sessions and what you want to achieve.
From experience, our clients know that argumentation means that communication is hampered and talks often break down because a compromise cannot be reached.
Our aim is for both parties to settle disputes without using legal means.
Taking a dispute to court may be extremely expensive for all involved, with mounting solicitors fees and possible payouts around the corner.
We try our utmost to discuss the situation fully and try and understand both points of view. In some circumstances, discussions can become heated and fractious, but we ask for all parties to understand the importance of the wider picture and the end goal.
Furthermore, we do not want our clients to get themselves into debt or financial turmoil because they have had to take a dispute to court.
Mediators are also there to thoughtfully and carefully question and query the wants and needs of both parties so that a reached compromise encompasses and satisfies both viewpoints.
Understanding the Needs of the Individual
All of our trained mediators are employed to specifically think about and consider the needs of the individual.
When our mediators are impartially mediating a session between two parties, they are not there to offer their opinion or judgment, they are there to simply guide the individuals towards an amicable resolution.
After the mediation process individuals should feel as though they have put their point of view across and they have had a say in something extremely important to them.

An Introduction to Alternative Lending
May 28, 2019
As investors grapple with the portfolio implications of a low interest rate environment alongside a continuing search for yield, alternative lending may offer attractive absolute and risk-adjusted return characteristics. An allocation to alternative lending may provide investors with exposure to a secular shift in the way consumers and small businesses access capital. In this paper, we provide insights on this nascent asset class.
What Is Alternative Lending?
Alternative lending is an asset class born of bank disintermediation and technological innovation. Alternately referred to as marketplace lending, peer-to-peer lending and P2P lending, alternative lending takes place through online platforms that use technology to bring together borrowers, who are underserved by traditional lending institutions, and loan investors, who seek attractive yield-generating investments. The lending model grew out of small balance, peer-to-peer unsecured consumer loans financed by retail investors. As volumes ramped and the asset class matured, alternative lending evolved such that most loans are funded today by institutional investors.1 At the same time, the types of credit risk underwritten by alternative lenders expanded beyond unsecured consumer to include small business lending, student loans, auto finance and other forms of specialty finance.
How Does it Work?
Borrowers may seek alternative loans for a variety of reasons, including for debt consolidation or to pay down revolving credit card balances. By moving from a revolving structure to an amortizing installment structure, borrowers may benefit from a lower interest rate than would be charged on a comparable revolving balance, such as from a credit card. Alternative lending platforms seek to streamline the traditional lending process by bringing borrowers and loan investors together, and by using technology-enabled models to rapidly underwrite borrower credit risk to determine appropriate loan pricing, terms and amounts offered to borrowers.
When borrowers accept loan offers, investors may purchase the loans post-issuance, either by actively selecting loans that they wish to purchase or by taking passive pro rata2 allocations of loans that meet prespecified criteria with respect to loan type, size, term, duration, credit risk, geographic concentration, etc. Investors largely obtain the potential economic benefits and risks stemming from the loans, but the platforms typically maintain the customer relationship with end-borrowers and act as servicers for the loans, sending cash flows from the borrowers to the investors, net of servicing fees. The platforms also may charge loan origination fees, typically to the borrowers.
Platforms may use partner banks to formally originate the loans that they underwrite. The partner banks typically conduct oversight on the platforms' underwriting models and ensure that underwritten loans and servicing procedures comply with applicable laws. In some cases, the partner banks or platforms may maintain an economic interest in loans sold to investors.
The loans themselves generally have relatively low initial balances, on the order of $1,000-$40,000. Today, the most common consumer unsecured alternative loan is fully amortizing, with a weighted average term2 of 48 months and an average original principal of roughly $15,000.3
The Evolution of Alternative Lending4
Alternative lending grew rapidly in the decade following the first peer-to-peer online loans underwritten in the U.K. in 2005 and in the U.S. in 2006, gathering pace in the wake of the global financial crisis. These small volume credit experiments leveraged marketplace models alongside technology-enabled customer acquisition, underwriting and loan servicing geared to borrowers that had grown comfortable with online services. Alternative lending volumes scaled as the credit crisis drove bank retrenchment from consumer and small business lending, and as new regulations increased the cost of capital for traditional banks, stressing the traditional banking model.
To facilitate burgeoning loan volumes, alternative lending platforms evolved their funding models from the original peer-to-peer format to institutional buyers serving as the predominant loan investors, purchasing portfolios of loans in bulk. Hedge funds were early buyers, actively selecting individual loans that they expected would outperform the platform's average underwriting. As the platform underwriting models matured and the opportunities for hedge fund alpha5 generation declined, institutional buyers largely migrated to passive pro rata purchases of loans within each buyer's defined credit box.
Passive pro rata allocations moved the diligence burden for loan purchasers from the individual small ticket loans to all the loans underwritten by a platform within a purchaser's defined credit box, as well as to the platforms themselves. Passive allocations also facilitated deeper integration with the capital markets. The first securitization backed by unsecured consumer alternative loans occurred in 2013, and the first rated securitization of those loans followed in 2015. U.S. consumer and small business alternative lending platforms first listed their shares publicly in 2014. The first registered alternative lending fund launched in the U.S. in 2016. In 2018, Morgan Stanley estimated $17.7 billion of asset-backed security issuance by the marketplace lending sector, which implied that roughly one third of marketplace loans originated in the U.S. that year were securitized.6
As illustrated below, the U.S. market saw U.S. alternative lending volumes increase by roughly 4x from 2014 to 2017.7 In 2017, the consumer segment represented about 70% of U.S. alternative lending, followed by roughly 19% in small business and 11% in specialty finance, a variety of smaller verticals.7 The small business segment took some market share from the consumer segment between 2014 and 2017, a trend that may continue given the sizable small business market opportunity, as well as banks struggling to underwrite small ticket business loans using processes that often are relatively antiquated and manual.

Why Is the Opportunity Compelling Today?
In our view, there are four main reasons why alternative lending may be a compelling strategy for investors.
1. Alternative lending may provide a potential combination of attractive yield and low duration that stands in sharp contrast to the traditional fixed income universe. Alternative lending's relatively low duration may reduce sensitivity to rising benchmark interest rates. One contributor to low duration is the amortizing structure typical of alternative loans, which may facilitate vintage diversification that may be challenging to achieve with traditional fixed income that only repays principal at maturity. Furthermore, alternative lending may offer outsized credit spreads,8 gross of any defaults and recoveries. While alternative loans often are unsecured, meaning defaults typically will be higher and recoveries lower than with traditional fixed income, we believe that alternative lending's outsized credit spreads may provide a cushion against principal loss, should investors encounter a less benign economic environment than that experienced following the global financial crisis.
Gross coupon is the annual interest rate paid on a bond/loan before accounting for prepayments, defaults and/or recoveries.

See the end of the presentation for index descriptions.
2. Unsecured consumer alternative lending historically has been diversifying versus other major asset classes, including traditional fixed income. We believe that the relatively low historical correlation of unsecured consumer alternative lending to traditional fixed income has been supported by the underlying credit exposure, which stems primarily from the consumer rather than from corporate or government credit exposure that generally dominates traditional fixed income allocations. Judiciously selected unsecured consumer alternative lending investments historically would have increased portfolio diversification and a portfolio's expected return per unit of risk (Sharpe ratio).8

Orchard ceased publishing index returns after March 2018. Therefore, no alternative lending proxy data is available after that date. See the end of the presentation for index descriptions.
3. Unsecured consumer alternative lending exhibited attractive absolute and risk-adjusted returns over the life of the Orchard U.S. Consumer Marketplace Lending Index from January 2011 to March 2018. The returns from unsecured consumer alternative lending were slightly better than the returns generated by U.S. REITs and substantially better than the modest return of traditional fixed income over the same period. Furthermore, unsecured consumer alternative lending posted positive returns during periods of market turmoil when other traditional asset classes struggled, including the "Double Dip" recession risk period in 2011, the "Taper Tantrum" of 2013, "Grexit" concerns in 2015, the U.S. presidential election in 2016 and the February 2018 market dip. It should be noted that, since a liquid secondary market with observable prices has not yet developed, alternative lending typically uses mark-to-model valuation based on discounted expected cash flows, which could dampen return volatility.9

Orchard ceased publishing index returns after March 2018. Therefore, no alternative lending proxy data is available after that date. See the end of the presentation for index descriptions.
Past performance is no guarantee of future results, and we recognize that the economy was relatively benign in the time frame over which index-level data was available for alternative lending. We believe that alternative lending returns, which are relatively untested in an economic downturn, may prove procyclical and would likely decline during more challenging economic periods. However, we believe the significant credit spreads on offer from alternative lending may provide a cushion before principal losses, and may position the asset class to perform admirably over a full economic cycle.
4. Alternative lending reflects a diversified opportunity set. Indeed, the volume and variety of strategies have flourished in recent years, providing multiple axes for diversification (e.g., by loan segment, credit quality, geography, security interest, ticket size and duration).
For illustrative purposes only. The statements above reflect the opinions and views of AIP Alternative Lending Group as of the date hereof and not as of any future date and will not be updated or supplemented.
We believe that alternative lending is here to stay. Indeed, we expect its growth trajectory to continue, reflecting the potential benefits of the asset class to both borrowers and investors. Positioning investors at the intersection of technology and finance, alternative lending may provide diversified exposure to a secular shift in the way that consumers and small businesses access capital.

Hubby and I were taking advantage of one of my last days of unemployment and headed on a drive. We came across the newer Blue Ash Chili in Mason and decided to stop. We'd seen it on Diners Drive Ins & Dives with Guy Fieri and it was on the "wishlist" anyway.
Also - the oyster crackers - can't remember the brand - but they're pre-packaged and I was snarfing them! They're not as dry as the Skyline ones. Yum!
Silverton Cafe and was expecting something like that. That is NOT what I got. Holy hell - this thing is GARGANTIC (Larry's favorite made-up word). I wondered when I ordered it if it came with fries - thank God I didn't ask and order some. This thing was so huge!!!! I only ate half...and the other half was perfect for dinner tonight! Yum Yum!
The chicken salad is very mayonnaisey - maybe even Miracle Whip. It's sweet and saucy. The bacon is really great - but probably a pound of it. I couldn't even pick this up - I had to eat it with a fork! Pickles were great too.
Why Should You Go? Um - cuz it's local and awesome! This particular spot gets packed during weekday lunch because of Luxotica across the street - so keep that in mind. All in all though - fantastic lunch!

Dems say DeVos' deputy tried to influence internal inquiry
BOSTON (AP) - Democrats in Congress are accusing the Education Department of interfering with an investigation by the agency's independent watchdog.
Five lawmakers sent a letter to Secretary Betsy DeVos on Tuesday saying her deputy pressured the department's inspector general on Jan. 3 to drop an internal investigation .
After the inspector general said she would continue, she was told she was being replaced. That decision was reversed after it became public.
Department spokeswoman Liz Hill denied the allegations and said they are being made "purely for political gain."
The investigation is examining DeVos' decision to reinstate an accrediting agency shut down by the Obama administration.
In the letter, lawmakers including Virginia Rep. Bobby Scott and Washington Sen. Patty Murray demand answers from DeVos and say they are "increasingly concerned" by the department's actions.

Category:Dowsing, Doodlebugging, and Water Witching
From Association of Independent Readers and Rootworkers
Dowsing, Water Witching, and Doodlebugging are forms of divination in which a dowser or water witch uses a simple tool or device such as a dowsing rod, dowsing sticks, doodlebug, pendulum, plumb bob, or divining rod to attempt to locate hidden water wells, underground streams, oil reserves, lost septic tanks and leach fields, caves, utility lines, water and gas pipes, buried metals, ores, minerals, gemstones, people, pets, or missing objects for their clients.
Many dowsers specialize in the types of things they will attempt to locate for clients. The most common kinds of dowsing in America are water witching preparatory to the digging of wells and doodlebugging during exploration for minerals and oil.
Because dowsing is a practical form of divination, it is generally not performed at an altar, but most spiritually-minded dowsers do keep their dowsing rods with their spell-casting tools and handle them with both reverence and respect.
Dowsing with a Y-Rod
The most common divining rod is a Y-shaped branch cut from a tree or bush. Old style dowsers and water witches in the United States prefer branches from the witch-hazel, willow, or peach tree and often favor rods of freshly cut or green wood because "wet wood recognizes water."
The dowser holds the Y-shaped dowsing rod with one short end of the Y in each hand and the long end of the Y pointing forward.
Exercising a slight outward pull on the forks of the Y to keep the end under tension, the dowser steadily walks over the area in a regular grid pattern, carefully covering the entire territory to be searched. When the dowser passes over or near the searched-for material, the dowsing rod points down, showing the spot.
Some dowsers clam that they can determine not only the place where the item will be found, but also its depth, as indicated by the strength of the downward pull on the tip of the Y-rod, or the speed at which it "dipped" when they approached the area.
Dowsing with L-Rods
Some dowsers prefer to use a simple pair of L-shaped dowsing rods. These may be made of metal, and generally have loosely fitted metal, wood, or cardboard tube handles which allow the long arms of the rods to spin loosely when the handles are tightly gripped. Professional dowsers often prefer their L-rods to be made of particular metals, especially brass and copper, but many a learner has picked up the practice with a home-made "starter" set of L-rods made of coat-hanger wire sheathed in tube-handles made from discarded and cut-down paper-towel cores.
The dowser holds one rod in each hand, with the short part of the L held in the hand and the long part of the L pointing forward. Walking the territory in a regular grid, the dowser observes the rods. If they turn to the right, the dowser walks to the right. If they turn to the left, the dowser walks to the left. When the dowser passes over or near the searched-for material, the two dowsing rods will either cross or uncross. If the rods stop pointing straight ahead and form an "X," the dowser marks the spot. The field may be walked several times, confirming the marked spot, until the dowser is satisfied that the L-rods have accurately presented the sought-for information.
A single L-rod that has been outfitted with a coil-spring and a bobber tip is known as a Cameron Aurameter after the name of its inventor, Verne Cameron. This type of L-Rod is sometimes used for dowsing the body for signs of health problems.
Mosaic Rod, Rod of Aaron, Wand, or Bobber
Divining rods are also used as revelatory devices. A rod or wand will be held up in the air, and the diviner or rodman will ask a question. If the rod moves, the answer is considered a "yes." If the rod does not move, the answer is considered a "no." The rod is believed to be moved by either a spirit or God.
A divining rod of this type is referred to as a "Mosaic rod" or a "Rod of Aaron", in reference to the Jewish prophet Moses and his brother Aaron, who both used rods given or blessed by the Lord.
When a rod is used for "yes" or "no" divining, its function closely resembles that of a pendulum used in divination.
A rod with a weighted tip is called a bobber, a name that describes its bobbing motion while it is in use.
Dowsing with a Pendulum
For more information, see Pendulum Divination
Pendulums made from surveyors' plumb bobs, as well as specially constructed hollow pendulums that can contain a small sample or "witness" of the item being sought are used by some dowsers.
Dowsing pendulums, with and without the contained sample, may be taken into the field, but more often they are hung on a chain or bit of string and employed in the practice of map dowsing or remote dowsing.
Map Dowsing or Remote Dowsing
Map Dowsing is a technique in which the dowser uses a pendulum, plumb bob, or a single L-rod over maps to locate oil, minerals, persons, water, or old constructions. The movement of the pendulum or rod over locations on the map indicates to the dowser where searched-for materials can be found. The dowser first determines which direction (left-right, up-down) will indicate "yes" and which "no," and then moves the pendulum or rod over the map and notes the reaction over certain geographical areas.
Although map dowsing with a pendulum superficially resembles pendulum divination, especially divining the sex of a baby by hanging the pendulum above a pregnant woman's belly as she lies on her back, it is a separate art, as the answers sought are not to "yes" or "no" questions. Rather, the map is used as a stand-in or proxy for the territory to be dowsed. The pendulum indicates areas of interest, which may later be searched in person.
Likewise, when a single L-rod is used to dowse a map, the dowser is generally looking for indications of coordinates to search in the field at a later date. The L-rod may be held with the handle up rather than down, and as it is moved slowly across the map's edge coordinates, the diviner observes "dips" or "lifts" in the rod. The marked dips or lifts along two edge coordinates are then graphed to a plotted point on the map, which is further searched in person.
Map dowsing can be used to pinpoint a location, but it finds more general use as a way to narrow down a large area, in order that the dowser may avoid walking a grid over a several-acre territory. In these cases, the map dowsing draws the dowser's attention to productive smaller areas that may be walked and dowsed in the field for confirmation of the indications first found on the map.
Remote Dowsing is quite similar to map dowsing except that it need not include a map. Rather, the dowser may simply visualize the territory to be dowsed. Remote dowsing can also be done over the photograph of a person, animal, or location.

This is another in my unofficial series on stuff to do with REST. You can see the others by clicking here for API Anti-Patterns or here for Cookies and the RESTful API.
Notice what I did there? Think hard. I linked some other documents that you can GET. Click'em and you'll:
GET: https://blog.mikepearce.net/2010/08/24/cookies-and-the-restful-api/
What I did there was provide you with two hypertext links, one to each of the other posts about REST that I've written. This is HATEOAS. You see, you don't actually need to know those two links above to be able to find them, you don't even really need to know this link to THIS blog post, you only need to know my endpoint, which is http://blog.mikepearce.net. Navigate to there, and then you can get to each and every other page on my blog without having to know the URLs.
Even if you DID know my URLs (and by 'know' I mean bookmark, only the most diehard Mike Pearce fans memorise all my blog post URLs, dontcha Jon?) I might, one day, decide to change the schema, so they wouldn't work. However, you'd get a 404 and a list of possible URLs, or I might even 301 redirect you if I was feeling nice (and this wasn't hosted on wordpress.com). The thing about this hypermedia is that it's so easy to get anywhere you like, the very definition of surfing.
So, now you've had a short tutorial on what HATEOAS means, Hypermedia As The Engine Of Application State, essentially means that your clients shouldn't be building their own URIs. They should be requesting one of your endpoints and retrieving a list of URI with which they can interact with with one of the HTTP verbs (GET, PUT, DELETE, UPDATE, POST). The idea (which I illustrated above) is, that as an API provider, should you need to, you can change your URIs when you like and your clients will still know how to access all the resources of your API (if they've written their client to support that kind of thing). You could get away with one endpoint, the root of your API URI scheme. But it might be nice to provide one or two more which aren't every going to change, perhaps:
http://api.yourcompany.com/users http://api.yourcompany.com/links
Further, you can then provide your users with a list of properties that the API response will return at each of these endpoints, that links to the URIs they need to access to interact with your service. So, if the user were to:
GET: http://api.yourcompany.com/users
The response might be:
{ "userMutateActions": { "add": "/users/add", "update": "/users/updateUser", "delete": "/users/deleteThatSucka" }, "userReadOnlyActions" { "get.Details": "/users/$username", "get.Email": "/users/$username/email", "get.Dob": "/users/$username/dob } }
Now you've a contract with your clients that means they can visit any of the three endpoints and be able to navigate their way around the rest of your API. If you were a nice API provider you could provide examples of code for your clients to integrate into the software that interrogated your API for these endpoint URI indexes…
You see, I think that here it is a little fuzzy. The idea is that a client can and should be able to bookmark a URI it knows about and be able to call that URI and have your API still respond is one of the tenets of a REST API, but it's at odds with HATEOAS.
Anyway, that's for eggheads and philosophers. Use your best judgment to decide when and where to do this kind of thing, how many endpoints you have and what you provide as URIs to your clients.
I should really get to the point described in the title. But you've probably worked it out by now…
There are a couple of ways of versioning an API, check out slides 88 – 93 of my presentation in the API AntiPatterns presentation here, either on the URL, or in the body of a request or with primary and secondary URIs. The thing is, after I wrote that and while I spent a bit of time reading more about cookies, I decided that none of those methods of versioning were any good, the answer is…
… don't actually bother with versioning. If you're adhering to the HATEOAS contraint and you've created some good, solid endpoints, some documentation that creates contracts as to nomenclature of your URI properties with your clients, then you don't need to version. Just change the URIs and the values of the URI properties at each endpoint and the client won't even know you've done it.
Shhh, it'll be our little secret!

Pan American Airways Trainee Badge 4th Issue
Usage 1960-1979
New York, NY & Miami, FL 1927-1991
Pan American World Airways, commonly known as Pan Am, was the principal and largest international air carrier in the United States from 1927 until its collapse on December 4, 1991. Founded in 1927 as a scheduled air mail and passenger service operating between Key West, Florida and Havana, Cuba. On June 2, 1927 Juan Trippe formed the Aviation Corporation of the Americas (ACA). The Aviation Corporation of the Americas changed its name to Pan American Airways Corporation in 1931.Pan Am was granted permission to buy National Airlines in 1980. In April 1985, the airline sold Pan Am's entire Pacific Division to United Airlines. Pan Am was forced to declare bankruptcy January 8, 1991. Delta Air Lines purchased the remaining profitable assets of Pan Am. Pan Am owned all or parts of many different airlines such as Panagra, Cubana, CNAC, etc. To get a better picture of the airline, Goggle it or read Airlines of Pan Amercan since 1927 by Captain Eugene Banning.

Now that Steve Jobs has some more time there is someone who would like to spend some time with him.
The former Apple CEO's biological father Abdulfattah John Jandali reportedly wants to meet his son, according to a report in The New York Post.
Jandali and Jobs' biological mother, Joanne Carole Schieble, met at the University of Wisconsin and had a son. Schieble's father reportedly would not allow her daughter to marry a Syrian immigrant and the couple was forced to give their child up for adoption.
Now 80, Jandali is the vice-president of a Reno casino and he says he has no plans to retire like his son.
But he tells the Post he would like to meet his son before something happens to either of them.
"This might sound strange, though, but I am not prepared, even if either of us was on our deathbeds, to pick up the phone to call him," Jandali. "Steve will have to do that, as the Syrian pride in me does not want him ever to think I am after his fortune."
Jandali says he has never called his son over the years but he has sent him birthday cards but he did not sign those as Jobs' dad out of respect for his adoptive parents.
"…I don't want to take their place. I just would like to get to know this amazing man I helped in a very small way to produce," he said.

Celebs Who Support Miley Cyrus' VMA Performance
Justin Timberlake, Selena Gomez and, of course, her dad loved her show.
Aug. 28, 2013 -- intro: Miley Cyrus raised eyebrows with her performance at the MTV Video Music Awards Sunday, but not everyone was offended. Several celebrities, from Justin Timberlake to Selena Gomez, have spoken out in support of the "We Can't Stop" singer (and self-proclaimed pro-twerker). Click through to see who was a fan of her big number.
quicklist: 1 title: Billy Ray Cyrus text: Some might have expected the singer's famous father, Billy Ray Cyrus, to criticize his daughter's performance, but the "Achy Breaky Heart" crooner took the opposite approach. "Of course, I'll always be here for Miley. Can't wait to see her when she gets home," he told "Entertainment Tonight." "She's still my little girl and I'm still her dad regardless how this circus we call show business plays out. I love her unconditionally and that will never change." His wife, Tish Cyrus, (with whom he recently reconciled), seemingly feels the same way, and was shown applauding in the crowd after her daughter was finished.
quicklist: 2 title: Justin Timberlake text: For many, Justin Timberlake's performance was one of the highlights of the VMAs, and he doesn't understand why viewers aren't saying the same about Cyrus'. "It's the VMAs. You know what I mean, like, it's not the Grammys," he told New York City radio station Hot 97. "We're talking about Madonna in a wedding dress humping the stage, we're talking about Britney doing a striptease. This cycle is not uncommon." media:20094275
quicklist: 3 title: Adam Lambert text: Though the "American Idol" star tweeted that he "didnt' actually state whether I liked @MileyCyrus [sic] performance," he was quick to defend it. "And listen if it wasn't ur cup of tea -- all good but why is everyone spazzing? Hey -- she's doin something right. We all talkin," he wrote. He later added, "I merely said she was having fun and to cut her some slack." media: 20094384
quicklist: 4 title: One Direction text: Though Harry Styles joked to Yahoo that Cyrus' performance was "very reserved," a few of his One Direction band mates jumped to her defense. Niall Horan admitted, "I don't get why everyone is sulking about her." And Louis Tomlinson added, "I was shocked at how much coverage it got and I think she was shocked. I don't think she even knew she'd get that much attention from it." media:20097975
quicklist: 5 title: Robin Thicke text: Nobody was more familiar with Cyrus' performance than Robin Thicke, who took the stage with her. "?@robinthicke That was dope," he tweeted after leaving the stage. "Shout out to @MileyCyrus @kendricklamar @2chainz #VMA pic.twitter.com/Lva7RV8tAG" media: 20094124
quicklist: 6 title: Selena Gomez text: Selena Gomez was shown staring blankly at the stage during the performance, but afterward, the "Come and Get It" singer praised her contemporary. "Amazing. I thought it was awesome," she told Us Weekly. "I like Robin Thicke, too, so I like that they [collaborated]. I thought that was good." media: 20094015

Yesterday, Rice beat Purdue. A C-USA team beat a Big 10 team, huzzah! The last time Rice at home defeated a team from a conference that automatically qualifies for a BCS bowl since Rice beat Duke in 2001. Of course, one of the best parts about playing a school that actually cares about its football program, besides beating them and making their fans and players cry, is sheer contrast of the crowds. This always leads to entertaining conversations to overhead in the audience, or read via Tweets. Anyways, here in no particular order are my top 5 Overheards or Tweets from the game
5. "Look at that kid" [Points to a Rice student taking pictures from the top of the stadium] "What's he doing? He must be some kind of 'tard. Der der der!" — Said by an drunk, overweight Purdue fan in a helmet that was too small for his fat head.
4. "Yes! Rice just beat Purdue in American Football!" — A University of Texas student doing his impression of a Rice student
3. "And while UT has it's own brand of water, Rice University has it's own brand of beer," [showing Saint Arnold on screen] — Rice MOB show
2. "I don't care if miller light is union made, it is still undrinkable swill" — Overheard in the Rice beer pen
1. "A classy @ricemob sketch for halfime saluting JSC & @NASA …classiness only explained by the script being rewritten by Rice Public Affairs! — Tweet by @expatminister.

TOURNAMENT hosts Brazil are always an exciting team to watch but can the likes of Neymar, Hulk and David Luiz taste World Cup glory this year?
Outright odds: 11/4
To win group: 1/6
To qualify: 1/80
Full squad: Julio Cesar (Toronto FC), Jefferson (Botafogo), Victor (Gremio); Dani Alves (Barcelona), Maicon (Inter Milan), Marcelo (Real Madrid), Maxwell (Paris St Germain), David Luiz (Chelsea), Thiago Silva (Paris St Germain), Dante (Bayern Munich), Henrique (Napoli); Luiz Gustavo (Wolfsburg), Paulinho (Tottenham), Ramires (Chelsea), Fernandinho (Manchester City), Oscar (Chelsea), Willian (Chelsea), Hernanes (Inter Milan), Bernard (Shakhtar Donetsk); Fred (Fluminense), Neymar (Barcelona), Hulk (Zenit St Petersburg), Jo (Atletico Mineiro).
Manager: Luiz Felipe Scolari
World Cup record: Five-time winners (1958, 1962, 1970, 1994, 2002), twice runners-up (1950, 1998), twice third (1938, 1978), fourth (1974)
How they qualified: Automatically as hosts
Other competitive internationals (most recent 1st): Brazil's only recent competitive action saw them run out impressive winners of the 2013 Confederations Cup on home soil, winning all five games. Fred scored five goals - losing out on the Golden Boot to Fernando Torres on tie-breakers - while Neymar scored four, with Jo and Paulinho netting two apiece. Seven Brazilians were named in the team of the tournament.
v Spain (home) 3-0 (HT 2-0) Fred 2, 47, Neymar 44
v Uruguay (home) 2-1 (HT 1-0) Fred 41, Paulinho 86
v Italy (home) 4-2 (HT 1-0) Dante 45, Neymar 55, Fred 66, 89
v Mexico (home) 2-0 (HT 1-0) Neymar 9, Jo 90
v Japan 3-0 (HT 1-0) Neymar 3, Paulinho 48, Jo 90
Goalscorers: With no qualifying to go on, we'll consider the Confederations Cup with these stats. Here it is worth noting that Neymar - among the favourites for the Golden Boot for the World Cup - was outscored by Fred by five goals to four (Fred lost out on the Golden Boot to Fernando Torres on tie-breakers). Jo and Paulinho netted two apiece.
Half-time/full-time: In their five games at last year's tournament, Brazil led in each of them at the break.
Clean sheets: Three of Brazil's five wins were 'to nil' and they did not concede a single goal in the first half.
Win to nil: See above.
Cards: Brazil picked up eight yellow cards in their five Confederations Cup matches, no more than three coming in a single game.
Build-up (most recent 1st): Brazil have played only friendlies for the last year, with matches spread around the globe from Florida to Beijing. Brazil have won their last seven of these games - against mixed opposition it must be said - but did go down 1-0 to Switzerland in Basel last August. In six of their seven wins they led at half-time.
v South Africa (away) 5-0 (HT 2-0) Oscar 10, Neymar 41, 46, 90, Fernandinho 79
v Chile (neutral) 2-1 (HT 1-0) Hulk 14, Robinho 79
v Honduras (neutral) 5-0 (HT 1-0) Bernard 22, Dante 55, Maicon 66, Willian 70, Hulk 74
v Zambia (neutral) 2-0 (HT 0-0) Oscar 59, Dede 66
v South Korea (away) 2-0 (HT 1-0) Neymar 44, Oscar 49
v Portugal (neutral) 3-1 (HT 2-1) Thiago Silva 24, Neymar 34, Jo 49
v Australia (home) 6-0 (HT 3-0) Jo 8, 34, Neymar 36, Ramires 58, Alexandre Pato 73, Luiz Gustavo 84
v Switzerland (away) 0-1 (HT 0-0)
Team verdict: Luiz Felipe Scolari's team are under huge pressure: only a sixth world title and first on home soil will be acceptable. The signs at the Confederations Cup were hugely encouraging, with Brazil looking like a team aware of the lofty expectations but ready and willing to match them.
They swept past Italy, Uruguay and Spain to take the title and there is real belief that the hosts will be the team to beat.
Scolari has set the team up in a 4-2-3-1 formation, with Luiz Gustavo and Paulinho's work in linking defence and attack key to both their defensive solidity and attacking prowess.
Hulk, Oscar and Neymar operate behind target man Fred. It's a first XI full of quality, with the likes of Robinho, Willian, Fernandinho and Ramires providing high-quality depth off the bench.
Only the form of long-term first-choice keeper Julio Cesar is of real concern following his recent inactivity.
The group draw has been kind too. Cameroon are weaker than at any time in the last 20 years, Mexico only just scraped through qualifying and Croatia are a good, industrious side but hardly among the elite.
Winning the group should be a formality, with the only slight concern a fixture list that pits them against the next best team in the group, Croatia, first up. But in truth, after Brazil's performances at the Confederations Cup last time out, anything less than three victories would be a surprise.
Things quickly get tougher from there, though, with Spain or Holland likely to be the last-16 opponents.
The hosts are short prices in all the obvious markets, with even a Brazil/Neymar winner/top goalscorer double paying no more than 20/1.
A seemingly straightforward group-stage draw and the likelihood of Spain or Holland lying in wait makes a last-16 exit worth considering at 3/1, while a glance beyond Neymar in the top goalscorer markets may pay dividends.
Fred outscored him at the Confederations Cup, while Jo has been among the goals in recent friendlies. It may be prudent to see which of those two is handed a starting berth before handing over any cash even if it means taking a slightly shorter price.

And now ...
#21. You Are Now Ascending to the Fourth Circle of Hell ...
Via Buzzhunt.co.ukThis looks like a bank of escalators seconds before they were buried under a lava flow, but it's actually one of about a hundred decorated subway stations under Stockholm, Sweden, where the natural bedrock ceiling has been painted. Each station has its own design, earning them the title of world's longest art gallery.
If nothing else, it has to make it a hell of a lot easier to figure out if you're at the right stop.

#20. The First Name the Aliens Will See ...
Via ForbesYes, that's a satellite photo, and yes, there really is a gigantic set of connecting canals spelling "HAMAD" in Abu Dhabi.
Oil sheik Hamad bin Hamdan Al Nahyan of Abu Dhabi is the douchebag who paid to have his name etched into the sand so that it would be visible from space. At least we know all that $4 per gallon gasoline we're buying is helping to support a good cause.
Though maybe the biggest takeaway from this is realizing that at least one super wealthy oil sheik is a huge fan of The Tick.

#19. This Makes Us Dizzy No Matter How Long We Look
This one is located in Paris, and creating the illusion is actually way harder than what you think -- the patch of grass isn't level at all.
Via Making OfWhat we love about this sort of thing is that to anyone standing in any other spot, it's not at all clear why this weird grid appears in the middle of the city square. Then you stand at the end and your head spins trying to make sense of it.
Probably doesn't seem worth it to the guy who has to mow that shit.
#18. Alright, Nature Is Just Screwing With Us Now
Via Guardian.co.ukOh, bullshit. Are we supposed to believe a bunch of flamingos all got together and stood in the shape of a flamingo?
Yes, unless you think National Geographic isn't above just screwing with us for web traffic. Though we guess it's possible that photographer Robert Haas and his team waded out into the water and carefully taped a bunch of flamingos together while a helicopter circled above, radioing down instructions. Or maybe he's the Beastmaster.
#17. If Barry Bonds Juices in the Pros, I Should Be Able to in T-Ball
Nope, this ripped, Taylor Hanson lookalike is a 16-year-old Ukrainian named Richard Sandrak. While at 16 most of us were happy enough with our newfound ability to grow a peach fuzz mustache, this kid has a six pack that makes most professional athletes look flabby. We're guessing the difference in skin tone between body and face is due to the liberal application of body oil.
#16. When Pavement Splits Like a Ribbon
Via Boston.comNo joking here, this perfectly split road is the aftermath of the massive earthquake in Japan earlier this year. The way the highway split exactly along the orange line is what makes most people call bullshit, but it's even weirder than that -- check out the perfectly straight break along the horizontal in the foreground. The newspapers that ran the photo offered no explanation as to why it's possible for it to so cleanly split like that, so we'll go with the numerous Internet commenters' explanation that since roads are constructed and repaved one lane at a time, it creates a natural seam there. Sure, why not?
#15. "You Know What They Awoke in the Darkness of Khazad-dum ..."
Via Archdaily.comThis photo will determine exactly what type of geek you are. Half of you will see it as the Mines of Moria in Fellowship of the Ring where Frodo and the gang were ambushed by orcs. The rest of you will think, "video game sewer." It is in fact a giant flood control system in Saitama, Japan. Though when you see some of the other pics, it's pretty much video game level all the way:
Via Archdaily.comIf you're still calling fake, you can apparently book tours of the place if you want to see it in person. And by "it" we mean the Balrog.
#14. And I Bet Those Bastards Didn't Cancel School
Via Genjutsu.esThis looks like some comical magazine advertisement for all-weather tires, in some magical land where the snow gets to be three times as high as a house.
But, no, for the third straight entry we are in Japan, where the laws of physics do not apply. Specifically, it's Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route, where they receive up to 20 meters of snow a year.
Via Nashvillewx.comIf you're wondering how in the world they dig out those perfect lanes, it takes a backhoe, a giant snow blower and patience. Here's a video:
#13. Harry Potter and the Curse of Hedwig's Ghost
Via BBC.co.ukThis spectral owl is reported to be an actual imprint left by a tawny owl that crashed into the glass window of an Englishwoman's home. Judging by the picture, it seems that owls must take a little roll around in a pile of cocaine before taking flight. Which would also explain their inability to avoid crashing directly into a house.
If you think the woman just painted that onto her window with flour or something in order to fool the news cameras, you'll find that those kinds of white bird imprints are fairly common.

#12. God, Bored at a Meeting, With a Box of Highlighters
Via DailymailWhat looks like the work of an extremely unimaginative child and some Magic Markers are actually tulips, which are grown in Holland every spring and sold all over the world.
On one hand, it makes for a cool aerial photo. On the other, it says something about mankind that we take the world's glorious, colorful beauty and immediately go about mass producing it in boring, perfect rows of clockwork efficiency.

#11. If It's Not Photoshop, It's a Van Gogh
National Geographic actually had to track down photographer Frans Lanting in Africa to explain what's going on in his photo for the people calling bullshit.
Basically what you're seeing behind the trees isn't the sky, it's a sand dune (the white blotches are patches of white grass). The colors look off because the photo was taken at dawn, so the orange dune itself was bathed in light, while the foreground was still in shadow (that's why the white clay of the foreground winds up looking blue, and the trees look like terrifying silhouettes).
#10. The Mountain Range With the Dragon Tattoo
Via Nevsedoma.com.uaVirtually every aspect of this shot looks to be faked, from the reflections in the water to the variation in lighting across the countryside. Alas, it's just a well framed photo of an actual lake in Portugal, which does in fact happen to very much resemble a giant blue dragon about to bite the hell out of that city.

America's Swamp: the Historical Everglades Project
The May Mann Jennings Papers complement those of the two Governors because of her advocacy of the drainage project, and also because of her marriage to Gov. Jennings. However, the real strength of the collection is that it documents the conservation movement that developed at the start of the 20th century and the role of disenfranchised women in developing and lobbying for legislation to protect the environment. Jennings was a leading member of the women's club movement and an influential social reformer in Florida and nationwide. As president of the Florida Federation of Women's Clubs in 1915, she spearheaded the effort to establish the Royal Palm State Park, the precursor to the Everglades National Park. Her tireless campaigns to preserve portions of the Everglades may seem at odds with her support of the drainage project, but she was representative of many conservationists of this era who were able to reconcile seemingly conflicting positions. Thus, Jennings was able to support the drainage program promoted by Broward and her husband at the same time that she was arguing for the creation of the Royal Palm State Park.

Urban Peak benefits from Stapleton home tour
Forest City Stapleton Inc. will make a $54,600 contribution to Urban Peak, a local, nonprofit organization that provides shelter and meals, education, employment, housing and medical care to help homeless young people.
The contribution represents the gross proceeds of Forest City's ticket sales for the recent tours of the 2011 HGTV Green Home at Stapleton.
"We are pleased to provide this financial support for the important work Urban Peak does to serve homeless young people in the Metro Denver area," said John Lehigh, president of Forest City Stapleton, the master developer for Denver's former airport. "Tours of the HGTV Green Home not only brought the national spotlight to Denver, they also produced funding that will make a difference in the lives of so many young people who benefit from the services provided by one of Denver's most worthwhile nonprofit organizations."

The Yokogawa CA450 Process Multimeter is a portable test instrument that combines a digital RMS multimeter and a loop calibrator, allowing process technicians to efficiently perform their tasks using a single tool. The Yokogawa CA450 provides 24-Volt loop power, reducing the need for carrying a separate power supply when performing transmitter testing. And with its built-in, selectable 250-Ohm Hart resistor, it also eliminates the need for a separate resistor.
Technicians involved in industrial process maintenance must troubleshoot a variety of instrumentation in the field. This necessitates carrying a wide variety of tools and electrical equipment such as digital multimeters and calibrators/sorucing devices. Individual, single purpose devices may not have the varied functionality needed for equipment validation, in addition to being cumbersome and inefficient to carry. In these situations, a device that can source, measure, and have PC compatibility would be the perfect instrument for the task. The CA450 Process Calibrator is defined by:
Standard Accessories

Read my title again. Yes, logs were important as many colonial homes were built with logs, but in the classroom when discussing colonial America logs can take on a whole new meaning.
Personal communication with students can provide useful information to assess student thinking and learning. Learning log journals are just one type of personal communication, but are a type that has provided benefits for me and more importantly for my students. These types of journals provide students with an opportunity to write across the curriculum and are ongoing efforts to build metacognition. In fact, according to Anita Woolfolk's book Educational Psychology (2001) the more students elaborate new ideas, the more they make them their own, the deeper their understanding and the better their memory for the knowledge.
Journaling matches various achievement targets because as each question is posed to students they must reflect upon what they have learned. R.J. Stiggins relates in Student-Involved Assessment for Learning (2005) the goal of learning logs is to have students reflect on, analyze, describe, and evaluate their learning experiences, successes, and challenges, writing about the conclusions they draw.
Learning log questions to pose to students can be integrated into existing units in seamless fashion. For example, five questions that could be and have been implemented in my classroom are:
1. Using the top half of your paper draw a KWL chart. As we begin our new unit on the British colonies what are some things you already know about them? Place these things under the "know" column. What are some things you are hoping to discover? List at least four questions you hope to have answered by the end of the unit under the "want to know" column.
This particular question helps me gauge what students already know. KWL charts also provide opportunities for students to set some of their own learning goals by providing them with an opportunity to list questions they may have. Finally, KWL charts provide a reflection experience for the student. After a unit is completed students examine the first two columns and analyze their responses. Did they really know what they thought they did? Were misconceptions cleared up? Were all of their questions answered? Did these questions lead to more questions? By utilizing KWL in the learning log process students are given a framework for reflection in the context of a graphic organizer.
2. Use a three-columned chart on your paper labeled New England, Mid-Atlantic, and Southern to list information concerning the climate and physical features of each colonial region. Underneath your chart reflect on this information and explain which regions would be best for farming and which regions would be best for other industries such as fishing.
While this particular question involves basic content knowledge I can gain better knowledge regarding how students internalized information during a lesson on the colony types through their written responses. Does the student understand the characteristics of fishing and farming regions? This type of question provides an opportunity for students to put the content in their own words, and provides extra emphasis on a particular aspect of the curriculum—climate and physical features determine how a group of people use a region economically.
3. Yesterday you were asked to complete a writing assignment where you became someone who lived somewhere in the colonies during the early 1700s. You were able to choose your role—farmer, merchant, artisan, woman, indentured servant, slave, or Native American. Reflect on the assignment. Did you find it particularly helpful to your learning? Why or why not?
This type of reflection would provide insight into what a student is thinking about a particular assignment. Because of the nature of the assignment students would explain what was easy or difficult for them to do.
4. Following our mid-unit quiz regarding the colonies do you feel sucessful so far with the content? Which items of key knowledge have you found useful? Which items have been difficult for you to understand?
The actual quiz would provide data regarding students' performance with a pen and paper test. The learning log question would provide additional data that should assist in determining why the quiz grades were high or low. If students were not successful with the quiz their reflection would provide useful information into weak areas I might have in my instruction, provide me the reasons to make lesson changes, and would provide me with important information regarding potential bias I had not already detected or planned for. On the other hand, student reflections would also provide me with data regarding students who did well on the quiz. A high number of perfect or near perfect scores can help me make the determination that the material I have presented is not challenging enough.
5. Reflect back on your KWL assignment for question one. Were your ideas correct you listed under the "know" column? Were all of your questions under the "want to know" column answered? What do you know now that you didn't know before? Once you have your journal entry complete go back to your KWL chart and fill in the different things you have learned.
These questions provide students as well as me an opportunity to reflect back to where students were and how far they have come. A determination can also be made concerning lack of knowledge and lack of certain skills.
Potential sources of bias must be eliminated from this particular assessment for the results to be meaningful for myself and for students per Stiggins. By having a clear achievement target questions can be focused and varied enough to cover the domain and eliminate a sampling bias. Learning log journals can help eliminate my own bias if I provide enough time for students to think through their responses as well as write them.
Giving prompts that include additional clarification statements or questions will help students who need extra language support interpret the questions properly. Providing feedback and additional comments to student responses as well as allowing students to respond to my comments will help to elimnate interpretation errors. While using a writing type assessment can indicate problems involving a student's low writing ability it does provide students with an opportunity to communicate freely and have the undivided attention of the instructor. Any feelings of peer pressure or feelings of shyness are eliminated. Environmental biases, such as classroom distractions, can be held to minimum if tried and true classroom management strategies are enforced. Students who have a high stress level and tension due to their perception they are a poor writer can be encouraged through one-on-one meetings where specific problems can be addressed and strategies can be offered.
Learning log journals meet many different requirements for today's classroom and appeal to me as a teacher. I feel with careful planning, strategic teaching strategies that provide clear information for students as to what they are to do, and constant feedback with students learning log journals can be a very successful tool to communicate with students.

President Obama has made job creation and economic development in rural America one of his top priorities. However, rule changes made by the FCC late in 2011 and more radical changes still being considered, threaten to deprive thousands of rural individuals and businesses of one of the linchpins of growth – broadband access.
You can send a letter to the President that lets him know these mixed messages and policy changes are undermining his commitment to a strong, vibrant rural America. The more letters we send, the better chance we can get a consistent and carefully designed federal policy that ensures rural America will not be left behind.
Dear President Obama,
I applaud your many efforts to focus attention on the needs of rural America, including additional job creation and economic development. These include your goal of ensuring all rural American citizens, businesses and governments have access to affordable broadband service. The Department of Agriculture's Rural Utilities Service has played a very important part in this effort. Unfortunately, recent actions by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) are resulting in mixed messages about the federal government's commitment to broadband in rural America. The FCC is implementing policies that change programs that are essential to promoting the availability and affordability of broadband services in rural areas. In many remote parts of the country, small, independent carriers are the only source of voice, data and video services and are key players in their local economies.
Add your own note to the letter
However, rather than implementing policies to promote the deployment of new or upgraded broadband services in these areas, the FCC last fall mandated cuts to existing programs. These cuts mean increased prices for consumers, deferred maintenance, delayed deployment of faster broadband networks and reduced access to lifesaving public safety and health care services. Even worse, the FCC is considering additional changes that would further undercut the principle of universal broadband service. This uncertainty is causing lenders and investors to hold back, and is causing rural telecommunications companies to delay investments in new or upgraded services. This regulatory uncertainty acts as a stunning impediment to rural economic development. Neither the actions ordered nor those still being considered by the FCC will serve the purpose of ensuring that all of America gets and stays connected. But, at the very least, I urge you to tell the FCC that no additional changes should be imposed until the effects of the new regulations ordered last fall can be studied. The FCC should not compound impediments to rural broadband deployment and increases in the rates paid by consumers by ordering a raft of new regulations when the impact of the first wave remains unknown. Already, consumers across rural America are being affected adversely by the changes, and the threat of even more cuts is undermining market confidence to invest in rural areas. Especially disturbing are new FCC rules that reach back in time and effectively penalize rural businesses for decisions made before the new rules were known or became effective. In other cases, some carriers have announced that these changes, which will cripple their ability to recover the costs of past investment, will force them to stop service. This would have a devastating effect on my community. As you know, many rural communities across the country are still struggling to regain strength. If my local carrier diminishes its services or goes out of business, it will have a devastating impact on the businesses, schools, and health care providers that rely on the carrier. Economic recovery for which we all strive will stumble and weaken our prospects for the future. Rural America needs you to demonstrate your commitment now to true universal service and ensure that high-quality broadband reaches every consumer in America. Please communicate to the FCC that it needs to fix the policies it has enacted and then examine their impacts on rural consumers before even considering additional changes. Let them know that current and future cuts will only lead to my community and many others across rural America being left behind.

So on to the chronology....
Spring 1878--RAWHIDE KID: SLAP LEATHER--This crossover involves Laura Ingalls (LITTLE HOUSE ON THE PRAIRIE), the town of LONESOME DOVE, KID COLT, THE LONE RANGER, THE TWO-GUN KID, Kid Shaleen (CAT BALLOU), Bernard Phife the First (ancestor of Deputy Barney Phife of Mayberry), the Cartwrights (BONANZA), newspaperman Lew Grant (ancestor of LOU GRANT), and Will Kane (HIGH NOON).
1952 - 1958--ADVENTURES OF SUPERMAN (TELEVISION SERIES)--Clark Kent moves to Los Angles (a great Metropolis) and becomes Superman. NOTES: THERE ARE A LOT OF HINTS LEADING THAT THIS SERIES IS IN CHICAGO, BUT AS TOBY O'BRIEN POINTED OUT, THEY HAVE TO BE NEAR THE DESERT, BECAUSE WHENEVER THEY LEAVE THE CITY, THEY SEEM TO BE IN THE DESERT. SO I'M THINKING L.A. IT'S GOOD TO HAVE THE TWO SUPERMEN LIVING FAR FROM EACH OTHER, TO EXPLAIN WHY THEY DIDN'T INTERACT MORE OFTEN. THIS SERIES WILL CROSS WITH I LOVE LUCY, WHICH IS WHY SUPERMAN EXISTS IN THE TVCU. Apparently whoever designed the architecture of Mayberry had also worked up in the Metropolis area. Perhaps, like Mike Brady, he just keeps putting out the same designs over and over. Note that because of the Wizard, the world had forgotten that Superman existed, so when this Clark makes his debut, the world knows him as the first and only Superman. This Superman is very public, and the world knows of his existence. He inspires a second age of super-heroes (and in fact, another age a thousand years in the future!)
February 1960--THE DANNY THOMAS SHOW--"Danny Meets Andy Griffith"--The Williams family drives through Mayberry and are pulled over by Sheriff Andy Taylor. (This show was the pilot for THE ANDY GRIFFITH SHOW.)
1960 to 1986--THE ANDY GRIFFITH SHOW--The story of Sheriff Andy Taylor, his son Opie, his Aunt Bee, Deputy Barney Fife, and the town of Mayberry. Eventually a movie will be made about Taylor and Mayberry, thus making the town and its residents a part of modern pop culture.
April 1962--TWILIGHT ZONE--"Hocus-Pocus and Frisby"--More speculation from Toby O'Brien. "Mr. Frisby lived in Pitchville Flats, in an extremely rural area of North Carolina, but probably not too far from Mayberry and Mt. Pilot. At least it was probably close enough for Floyd Lawson's father to visit another woman in that town, because Floyd had an identical twin named Mitchell (Mitchell Lawson?) who liked to hang around Frisby's general store and listen to Somerset Frisby spin his tall tales - even if he didn't believe them. (Toobworld bloodlines are strong, so it could be that Floyd and Mitchell don't have the same father, but instead can trace their ancestry back to the area's first Indian agent, Daniel Lawson.) "
c. 1963 to 1964--THE JOEY BISHOP SHOW--Joey takes a vacation in a cabin located near Mayberry and encounters Deputy Barney Fife.
1964 to 1970--GOMER PYLE, U.S.M.C.--Gomer leaves his job as Mayberry, N.C. gas station attendant to serve a a six year term (likely a three year term initially then reenlisted for three more) in the Marines.
November 1965--GOMER PYLE, U.S.M.C.--"A Visit From Cousin Goober"--Title is self-explanatory.
March 1966--GOMER PYLE, U.S.M.C.--"Opie Joins the Marines"--Well, not really, but the Taylors do come and visit Gomer.
April 1966--GOMER PYLE, U.S.M.C.--"Gomer, the Would-Be Hero"--Ted Baxter, as a radio news anchor under the stage name Don Mills, interviews Gomer and Sgt. Carter. (Note this is speculation taken from Toby O'Brien.)
November 1966--THE LUCY SHOW--"Lucy Gets Caught Up In the Draft"--Due to a clerical error, Lucy Carmichael is drafted into the Marines. She finally gets out of it, and as she leaves, in enters Gomer Pyle.
March 1967--GREEN ACRES--"The Saucer Season"--Mike Jones somehow ends up on Hooterville.
September 1967--GOMER PYLE USMC--"A Visit From Aunt Bee"--Aunt Bee visits Gomer.
1968 to 1971--MAYBERRY R.F.D.--The story of farmer Sam Jones and the town of Mayberry.
1969 to 1992--HEE HAW--From Matt Hickman: George Lindsey also played Goober on Hee haw more then once seems he moved form Mayberry to Kornfield Kounty. Which is where all the sketches on Hee haw are set
January 1971--THE NEW ANDY GRIFFITH SHOW--"My Friend, the Mayor"--Politician Andy Sawyer moves his family back to his hometown of Greenwood to become the next mayor. Mayberry residents Goober Pyle, Emmett Clark and Barney Fife make a guest appearance in the pilot.
February 1972--THE NEW SCOOBY-DOO MOVIES--"The Spooky Fog of Juneberry"--The gang goes to MAYBERRY and helps out Deputy Barney Fife. (Or so James Bojaciuk has convinced me.)
May 1978--GOOBER & THE TRUCKER'S PARADISE--Goober opens his own truck stop.
June 1984--CANNONBALL RUN II--Gomer is tricked into helping a duo trying to win a cross country race. Another one of the competitors is Jackie Chan, who will later go on to many other adventures, and is the descendant of the Shanghai Kid. Note there is also an appearance of one of the Van Helsing family.
April 1986--RETURN TO MAYBERRY--After having moved away, Andy Taylor comes home to visit.
1988 to 1990--IT'S GARY SHANDLING'S SHOW--One of Gary's neighbors is Howard Sprague, formerly of Mayberry.
1991 to 1992--HI HONEY, I'M HOME--This series involves a family moving to a new town where only a child neighbor realizes this family was featured on an old TV show. In fact (from the TVCU point of view), this family had been the focus of an early reality show, and were now trying to live a quiet life. June Clever and Eddie Haskell have made appearance on this show. Other former reality show stars appear on this series, including Alice and Trixie of THE HONEYMOONERS, Granpa of THE MUNSTERS, Alice the maid from THE BRADY BUNCH, Sally Rogers of THE DICK VAN DYKE SHOW, Mr. Mooney of THE LUCY SHOW, and GOMER PYLE of THE ANDY GRIFFITH SHOW (and his own series.)
November 1993--ANIMANIACS--"Dough Dough Boys/Boot Camping/General Boo-Regard"--Wakko's hair is cut by Floyd, the barber.
Fall 1994--BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER--"Faith, Hope & Trick--Mr. Trick states that Sunnydale's death rate makes D.C. look like Mayberry.
April 1997--THE SINGLE GUY--"Vegas Finale"--Either Gomer appears, or someone acting as Gomer based on the character from the film made about Sheriff Taylor and Mayberry.
November 2007--BOSTON LEGAL--One of the attorneys compares their current location to Mayberry.
May 2013--WAREHOUSE 13--From Gordon Long: That bowling ball might have been in Mayberry. In one episode of the Andy Griffith show, Howard is one frame away from bowling a perfect game---the first ever in Mayberry---in what I think was a league match, and the lights go out, but not until Goober bets on Howard's perfect game, putting additional pressure on Howard. I can't remember what happened after they decided to postpone the finish of the game, though... It's not exactly a crossover, but I just realized that the Darling clan who lived near Mayberry must be related to the Duke family. Not only do the patriarchs of the two clans (Briscoe Darling Jr and Uncle Jesse Duke) look and sound alike (yeah, I know, same actor-as-cousin characters principle) but both families have musical abilities (the four Darling sons were played by a country musical group, the Dillards, and the Duke boys' actors John Schneider and Tom Wopat were country singers).
23rd Century--STAR TREK--"Mira"--From T. EverettSeptember 9, 2012 at 3:30 PM
This shot is of particular interest, showing Captain Kirk and Edith Keeler walking past Floyd's Barber Shop.
Now, this presents an interesting problem: "Forever"'s New York is clearly New York, but Mayberry is clearly Mayberry. It would be easy enough to say that Floyd started as a barber in 1930 NYC before moving to Mayberry mid-century, but that still leaves the problem of "Miri".
One the one hand, it's far more likely that the Enterprise's crew would investigate an apparently abandoned Earth in a major city than a small town; but on the other, the above link notes how Miri's Town is laid out exactly like Mayberry.
(Incidentally, the recent Star Trek novel "DTI: Forgotten History" explicitly states that Miri's world is Earth from a parallel universe, brought into ours by being swapped with an advanced alien supercraft.)
DIGIMON UNIVERSE--March 2000--DIGIMON: DIGITAL MONSTERS--Aunt Bee and Barney Fife appear in this animated film!!! Are Aunt Bee and Barney Fife appearing on a TV screen or as actual characters in the story?
MEMEVERSE--Because everything happens somewhere.

Great Soup, Naturally™
New England Country Soup was founded by three "foodies" frustrated with the traditional soup products on store shelves... they were neither as delicious nor as nutritious as homemade, and neither as convenient nor as environmentally responsible as they could be (not to mention very high in sodium!).
We had a simple objective: make great tasting, good for you, shelf-stable soups with the same, all natural ingredients we use in our kitchen. And we wanted our soups to be easy to use and friendly to the environment.
Great Ingredients. Great Taste. Good for you.
Out of frustration, came inspiration! We scoured our family recipes for some classic soup flavors, located a terrific group of all natural ingredient suppliers from around the world, identified some "better for you" ingredients, and added state-of-the-art, BPA-free packaging.
The result? Well, many of our customers have called and emailed to tell us (in their own words) that New England Country Soup "tastes as good as homemade."
