Marie Antoinette
The teenage queen, now the subject of a new movie, was embraced by France in 1770. Twenty-three years later, she lost her head to the guillotine. (But she never said, "Let them eat cake")

Late September sunlight filters onto the blue velvet furnishings of the jewel-box theater built for Marie Antoinette at Versailles. The painted, original backdrop depicts a rustic farmhouse hearth, and I can just imagine the young queen reveling in her role as a shepherdess while her witty friends and dull husband, French king Louis XVI, applaud politely.
At the time I was there, the theater was closed to most visitors (it is now open to the public from April 1 through October 31), and I wanted to take full advantage of my access. "Go ahead. Have a good, long look," said Christian Baulez, Versailles' chief conservator.
On the way out, Baulez, who has worked at the former royal palace for four decades, locked the gate with a heavy iron key. "From time to time, you have to visit a spot like the theater when there's no one else around to give the place a chance to trigger an emotional reaction," he said. "You're thinking about other things, then all of a sudden, you're totally surprised. It's a state of grace, an aura you sense—even after 40 years here."
I did not commune with Marie Antoinette's ghost, as some claim to have done. But I had to admit that there is a poignancy about the playhouse and its fantasy world. Less than a decade after the theater's inauguration in 1780, the curtain would come crashing down on the French monarchy and its Austrian-born queen, who seemed to grow in moral stature as she approached the guillotine.
With the possible exception of the Corsican-born Napoleon, another outsider who overstayed his welcome, no one haunts French history like the Hapsburg princess. The frivolous, high-spirited tomboy who arrived at Versailles at age 14 was quickly embraced by her subjects. Yet by the time of her execution 23 years later, she was reviled.
Thrust into a social and political hurricane, Marie Antoinette, biographer Stefan Zweig wrote in the 1930s, was "perhaps the most signal example in history of the way in which destiny will at times pluck a mediocre human being from obscurity and, with commanding hand, force the man or woman in question to overstep the bounds of mediocrity." Ultimately, even Marie Antoinette herself grasped how suffering gave her fortitude. "Tribulation first makes one realize what one is," the queen wrote in August 1791, soon after the royal family's failed escape attempt from their detention in Paris.
Marie Antoinette's fairy tale turned tragedy has spawned biographies, fictionalizations, operas, plays, ballets and memoirs. Even her hairdresser and her executioner published ghostwritten recollections. And, like the 300 gowns the queen ordered each year, the story is a perfect fit for Hollywood. The 1938 film Marie Antoinette, starring Norma Shearer and Robert Morley, is considered a classic of historical melodrama. Now, Sofia Coppola has directed a new interpretation, with Kirsten Dunst and Jason Schwartzman in the lead roles. Based largely on British biographer Antonia Fraser's 2001 biography, Marie Antoinette: The Journey, the new film, also called Marie Antoinette, was released in the United States last month. "I was struck by the fact that Louis and Marie were teenagers—he was 19 when he was crowned, she was 18—in charge of France at the most vulnerable time in its history," says Coppola. "I didn't set out on a campaign to correct the misperceptions about her; I just wanted to tell the story from her point of view."
Each year millions of visitors flock to Versailles and Fontainebleau, where the queen maintained a second palace, to admire her exuberant tastes in furniture and décor. But it is her furtive love life that arouses the deepest interest—and sympathy. Tarred by pamphleteers for sexual wantonness, she was actually rather prudish, at least according to her brother, Austrian emperor Joseph II. Despite a number of innocent flirtations, she deeply loved—probably with Louis' tacit approval, according to a confidante—only one man: Swedish military attaché Count Axel Fersen.
Although Marie Antoinette initially condescended to her husband, she eventually developed a genuine fondness for him. For his part, Louis was completely devoted to her and never took a mistress, exhibiting a restraint virtually unheard of in an 18th-century French king.
Whatever Marie Antoinette's faults—in addition to her renowned extravagance, she was unable to comprehend the French people's thirst for democracy—she did not respond to news that starving Parisians had no bread by saying: "Let them eat cake." According to Fraser, this monumental indifference was first ascribed, probably also apocryphally, to Maria Theresa, the Spanish princess who married Louis XIV more than a century before Marie Antoinette set foot in France. Still, for more than two centuries, historians have debated whether Marie Antoinette bore the blame for her fate or was a victim of circumstance. Although she remained a fervent supporter of absolute royal power and an unrepentant enemy of democratic ideals, her many acts of compassion included tending to a peasant gored by a stag and taking in a poor orphan boy and overseeing his education. "She was so happy at doing good and hated to miss any opportunity of doing so," wrote Madame Campan, the First Lady of the Bedchamber. The softhearted queen, it seems, hungered more for tenderness than power.

Regarding the numerous history sites, books, and other media about what Truly happened during Louie and Marie Antoinette's reign, I could never find a website that truly concurred with another expedition of that part of French History. The fact is that, no one truly knew what happened because its possible that what the "boucher's a la rein" notations of that time in the monarchy were most likely destroyed, in the storming of the Palace of Versailles. Personally, I don't really know what to believe. Marie Antoinette I do believe had a very mother-like disposition, including the peasant boy that she took in, which made her, in my eyes a very tender-heated person. However, still nothing is said about the conflicting history of whether Gabrielle De Polingac was there in Versailles to begin with or, in the Movie "Les Adeaux a la Rein", where they depicted Marie Antoinette to have created the Duke and Duchess of Polingac, with the royal fortune, because she desired Gabrielle in a more intimate way. And this time in french history is appealing to me, because it is one of the biggest controversies in Human History. I do believe that Louie Catorze and Marie Antoinette had some to do with the deficit, but the rest were the Wars, the Revolutions, and the rest of the Royalties expenses a Versailles at the time. (And the rest of the residents of Versailles weren't exactly cheap to maintain. Most of them fled when it happened.) All of these things conflict with each other. Its a sad story, that M&L bore the brunt of the hatred that in my opinion was less than 10-15% their fault. They both cut their expenses to ease the rest of the french people's pain. Id like to go there one day and form my own opinion about it though. Though i do commend and give kudos to this websites view on M&L, it had a lot of things that were never mentioned about it.

@Debrah: That is why we need a constitutional monarchy.

What a sad story... I like to read history and I find it awkward but logical how when reading about the death of a million people, it feels like just another statistic, but when reading a biography, it just feels so saddening

This was always the danger of an absolute monarchy. An accident of birth is not a reason to place someone on the throne, especially someone as young as Louis XVI was when he became Dauphin. He was obviously not suited to rule, nor was he suited to be husband to anyone, especially not Marie Antoinette. Revolutions are always inevitable when rulers make life difficult for their citizens. Another danger is a monarch's ability to snuff out a person's life, simply because they've fallen out of favor. Henry VIII had a wandering eye, choosing a prospective new bride solely on appearance without knowing their character. He had two of his wives beheaded. The French Revolution beheaded their monarchs,Louis and Marie. The Russian Revolution brought about the murders of Czar Nicholas, his entire family and servants who happened to be incarcerated with them. I am happy not to live in those times when people felt vindicated upon the death of former rulers.

Interesting to find out a bit more about MA. She had such a lovely name. I suspect that she had no way of knowing how to be a queen and did what she wanted like a spoilt child. I think she would have given more to her people if she had of seen the states fo their environments etc. Thank you for more insight as I just watched the movie and wanted to know more.

I personaly, was so profoundly touched by the sureality and confoundedness of the plyte thrusted upon the heads of two children so young,and without a clue as to what was about to be asked of them as children makeing grownup decisions,in what had to seem to them to be all a make belive world.Only to discover in inocients the power that they pocessed over an entire country with only a childs imgination to rule it.This artical was so perfectly and informatively written,and gave such insight to the true facts,that it did away with fictitious asuptions that I may have had. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. PS I don't belive the Louise accussed his mother and aunt.

It is worth correcting that her son was manipulated into making up the sexual abuse charge,not because he got caught masturbating,I believe he was 8 maybe 10 oldest at this time,it is Louis XVII we are talking about,he was turned over to Simone an illiterate man working under Jacques Hebert a journalist/revolutionary of the time,who manipulated little Louis into hating his parents and,Marie Antoniette wrote to her sister in law Princess Elisabeth when she was about to be executed to apologize on Louis XVII's behalf,for the horrible accusations made by him,but again manipulated into doing so.the idea that he was caught masturbating is utterly false and must be removed from this otherwise fine article.

What I never realised is that Napolean and Marie Antoinette were in such a close timeframe.
This is an extremely well written story, which offers more facts than I've been able to find anywhere else.
Keep up the good work.

Written by PETA
On Monday, we blogged about the risks posed to animals who are stowed away like luggage in the cargo holds of planes. On Tuesday, those warnings became a heartbreaking reality for seven puppies who died after being shipped from Tulsa, Oklahoma, to Chicago in the hold of a commercial airline.
Shipping animals as if they were duffel bags or cosmetics cases is wrong for many reasons, one being that the cargo holds of airplanes are often not temperature-controlled. During the summer months, the temperature in this area of a plane can be deadly. Investigators are considering heatstroke as one possible cause of death for the puppies. It's believed that temperatures in Tulsa were already 86 degrees before 7 a.m., and the puppies were loaded into the cargo hold and left there as the flight was delayed on the tarmac for more than an hour. If this is the case, the puppies may have been baked alive in temperatures well above 100 degrees. A dog can succumb to heatstroke in just 15 minutes, and it's not a pleasant way to go.
We have set up a memorial page for the animals over on our True Friends Memorials site. Please take a minute to leave some kind words and consider donating to help other animals in need. And the next time you travel with your animal companions, only fly if they can fly in the cabin with you—or make it a road trip, and let Fido ride shotgun.

[ Post photo by Bob Starrett] " Anything Goes" In Green Room For a great many weeks over 50 Farmingdale students have spent nearly 400 hours in rehearsal and preparation for this year's fall musical: Cole Porter's " Anything Goes" This nostalgic, lively musical show could possibly be the most popular of the many hits the Green Room Players have produced because it has so much entertainment to offer. There is much exciting tap- dancing, something which no other Farmingdale musical has had to date. These dances are part of the many vibrant, bouncy production numbers. " Anything Goes" concerns all of the passengers sailing on the liner S. S. American on a cruse from New York to London. On the ship is Reno Sweeney ( Addie Daddio), a nightclub singer who used to be a traveling evangelist. She meets her best friend Billy Crocker ( Jeff White), a " broken down broker" from New York. He is in love with Hope Harcourt ( Diana Kollar), but she is engaged to an English gentleman, Sir Evelyn Oakleigh ( Martin Schaefer), and is being forced to marry him by her mother, who' is played by Nancy Pines. As if that weren't complicated enough, Moonface Martin, public enemy number 13, and his gun moll, are sailing in order to escape from the authorities. ' Moonface is played by Rob Bartlett, and Bonnie, Lori Tallman. Moonface befriends Billy and together with Reno try to stop the marriage between Hope and Evelyn. The results are hilarious. There is along the way, a huge collection of some of the greatest Cole Porter hits ever written. They range from melodiously romantic, to comic, to show stopping loud chorus numbers. Some of these include: " You're The Top," " I Get A Kick Out Of You," " Friendship," " Blow Gabriel Blow," " All Through The Night," and of course the title number " Anything Goes." Kenneth Ulric is directing " Anything Goes." He, in the past years has directed three of the most popular Green Room Players productions: " Hello Dolly," " Mame," and " South Pacific." " Anything Goes," ten piece pit band is under the direction of Richard Johannsen. The colorful set, designed by Ulric features the deck of the S. S. American. A diligent crew of about 20 students has been working on the set and lighting. Senior Bob DeMicco is assistant director and stage manager for the show. Lori Tallman is choreographer. In short, " Anything Goes" promises to be a bouncy, vibrant hilarious musical. It will be the greatest entertainment seen in years.

8/7 Soriano scratched
Alfonso Soriano was scratched from Tuesday's lineup because of swelling in his right hand. He injured his hand when he slid into second base in the sixth inning Monday and into the spikes of second baseman Logan Forsythe. Soriano is day to day.
"I can't be Superman," Soriano said.
– Carrie Muskat

After Sorry dogging it for the last few years I personally do not want even one comment from him. Hustling this season does not even count and not wanting to compete with a winning team shows his true makeup. Here was a player with multiple physical gifts and a ten cent head.
Apparently no one reads comments from Soriano's team mates. To a man they have praised his work ethic and dedication but some "fans" think they know more about him than the players who share the field with him.
Wgn tv shared left field with him and thousands of fans all these years and the lowlights go on and on and on–you did not tune in I guess!
ya but joey right …. he knows all………. I with you man Soriano is great in the clubhouse and a has put in the work to try and improve on the field. Him not playing through a swollen hand? What the heck do you guys want from him? He is hurt…. he got hurt sliding into 2nd whats the big deal? You think this is the first person to do so? geeeeeeezzzzzz

The Baltimore Ravens are looking for an upset today at the AFC Divisional Playoffs in Denver.
The Ravens are a 10 point underdog in the match up against the Broncos.
The National Weather Service is calling for a 20-percent chance of snow showers in Denver and temperatures in the teens.
Kickoff is at 4:30 p.m.
WBAL Radio's coverage starts at 11 a.m. with the Ravens Saturday Huddle.
WBAL's Pete Gilbert reports more than 140 Ravens fans have signed up for a tailgating party in the parking lot of the Denver stadium.
Brian Snyder of Baltimore, who organized a trip to Denver for Ravens, says it has been worth the cost of going to Denver.
"This is what I enjoy, and I can actually bring it to others that they can enjoy it as well," Snyder told WBAL News.
The game is a match up between a Ravens team led by Ray Lewis, who is retiring once the season ends, and a Broncos team lead by veteran quarterback Peyton Manning.
Sometime after the season is over, Manning will sit down with Lewis and congratulate him on a job well done.
During Lewis' 17-year career, he redefined his position and cemented himself as one of the most fearsome players in the game.
What Manning hopes to avoid is congratulating Lewis on winning a second Super Bowl.
In what could be the last game for Baltimore's seven-time All Pro linebacker, who is retiring after this season, the Broncos and Ravens meet Saturday in the AFC divisional playoffs. Two NFL icons, each three wins away from a second championship.
"I've addressed it every time I've played against him. He's an excellent player," said Manning, who'd rather share his most heartfelt praise for Lewis with the man himself than with the media. "He's special. That's all you can say."
Special as Lewis may be, Manning has won his last nine games against the Ravens.
Befitting a player who thinks about Super Bowls above all else, only one of the defeats really sticks with Lewis: a 15-6 loss to the Colts in the 2006 divisional playoffs. Indianapolis then won the Super Bowl.
"We gave up five field goals to him and they went on to win the Super Bowl," said the inside linebacker, who returned from a biceps injury last week and finished with 13 tackles in a 24-9 win against the Colts. "That hurts to lose to somebody you thought you had beat and then they go on to win the Super Bowl. All the other times, whether you win or not, there's only one champ at the end of the day, and if that isn't you or the team that beat you, then so be it."
The Broncos (13-3) are 10-point favorites against the Ravens (11-6) and the odds-on favourite, at 3-1, to win the title.
And while Lewis may carry the baggage from the game six years ago, it's the meeting between these teams a mere four weeks ago in Baltimore that holds the most weight in the respective locker rooms this week.
Denver won that game 34-17, though it really wasn't that close. Manning threw for only 204 yards, but Knowshon Moreno rushed for 115 as the Broncos built a 31-3 lead. The Ravens, playing without Lewis that day, got a couple courtesy scores at the end.
For Denver, it was supposed to be the first truly stern test during what has become an 11-game winning streak, compiled mostly against teams with losing records that were out of the playoff picture.
For Baltimore, it was a humbling comedown, but one the Ravens have spent this week excusing, going with a variety of explanations: Lewis and several others were out of the lineup, Broncos receivers pushed off too much, etc.
"We'll make it different," said Ravens receiver, Anquan Boldin, in a tone-setting statement that came after Baltimore's win in the wild-card round. Boldin got shut out in the first meeting against the Broncos.
The Broncos have not been big on bravado all season and they're not changing a thing for the playoffs. With Manning setting the tone, they remain focused and sound very much like a team that isn't taking anything for granted — not even a rematch against a team Denver beat by 17 on the road.
"That was then and we're getting ready for now," defensive co-ordinator Jack Del Rio said. "It was almost a month ago. We had a plan, went up there and we played pretty well. Each week we start fresh and talk to our guys about the things that they're good at, the things we need to be able to limit."
In addition to Boldin, who had 145 yards receiving against the Colts, the Broncos must keep tabs on versatile running back Ray Rice. They did that well in the first meeting, when Rice finished with 38 yards rushing and 3 receiving. Baltimore was trailing 10-0 late in the second quarter when Chris Harris picked off Joe Flacco's pass and returned it 98 yards for a touchdown.
Game over.
"Before that turnover, that's when the turn of events happened with guys out," Rice said. "We aren't going to make any excuses, but I don't want to go into that game letting their defence dictate how we play ball. We have a certain way we play around here. It's playoff football."
The Broncos like to think they've been playing playoff football for a while. Manning certainly has. All the doubts about his throwing motion, the strength of his neck and the chemistry with his receivers have pretty much been erased over a season in which he threw for 4,659 yards and 37 touchdowns.
One of the few remaining question marks is Manning's 0-3 playoff record in games played when the temperature is below 40 degrees. The high in Denver on Saturday is forecast to be 20. Manning has been practicing and playing with a glove on his throwing hand for the last few weeks — a nod to the reality of the changed feel of his grip since his neck surgeries. Everything else, however, remains the same concerning his preparation.
"I had an old coach who used to always say, 'If all of a sudden you have to do something different in the post-season to get ready to play, that means you probably haven't been doing the right things during the regular season to get ready to play,'" Manning said. "So I've always tried to prepare every single week as if it was a playoff game or the Super Bowl, whatever it is. That's your job as an NFL player."
If Manning does his job this week, he will bring Lewis' career to an end with only one Super Bowl title while the quarterback will remain in line for his second. Lewis insists the Ravens are ready.
"Arguably, they are the best team in football," he said. "If that's what it is, then let's line up and let's be who we are, and let's get ready to play the best team in football."
Ogden, Modell Hall of Fame Finalists
Hours before the team flew to Denver, the 15 finalists for the Pro Football Hall of Fame were announced.
They include one of the members of the original Ravens team, tackle Jonathan Ogden, who is a finalist in his first year of eligibility.
Art Modell, the Cleveland Browns owner who moved his team to Baltimore in 1996 which became the Ravens was also a finalist. Modell died last September.
Other finalists include single-season sacks record holder Michael Strahan, defensive tackle Warren Sapp and guard-tackle Larry Allen.
Longtime Steelers running back Jerome Bettis; receivers Cris Carter, Tim Brown and Andre Reed; LB-DEs Charles Haley and Kevin Greene; guard Will Shields; defensive back Aeneas Williams; coach Bill Parcells; and former 49ers owner Edward DeBartolo Jr. were also nominated.
The two senior nominees are defensive tackle Curley Culp and linebacker Dave Robinson.
Between four and seven new members will be selected February 2, the day before the Super Bowl, in New Orleans.

Meet a Graduate Student
Gus Anderson: Electrical Engineering Graduate Student
Gus earned a BS/MS, Computer Engineering in 2004. He is currently working toward Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering at Drexel University.
He says that the best advice he ever received was, "Don't study to pass the test, study to understand and master the topic (and the grades will take care of themselves).
The following interview provides some insight into both graduate engineering education, and the decision-making process of someone considering Drexel for graduate engineering.
Q: When did you know you wanted to become an Engineer?
Anderson: I have always been drawn to figuring out what makes things work and how they are put together. In high school I had the opportunity to take part in several science fair projects that allowed me to see first-hand what engineering really was. It was great to take a question and systematically evaluate the validity of a solution.
Q: What is your college experience like in terms of the amount of time you find you need to study each day?
Anderson: I found that a 3 credit undergraduate course takes approximately 3 hours a week out of the classroom. A 3 credit graduate course takes approximately 6 hours a week out of the classroom.
Q: Are you incorporating any work experiences while you are a student?
Anderson: Yes, one of the greatest experiences at Drexel has been the co-ops. They provide great insight by applying what is learned in the classroom into the real world. As an example, I spent one of my co-ops designing a resonant RLC circuit for an alarm system. This was not something that I had taken a class on up to this point, yet it provided incredible context for the following semester when I took "Introduction to Electric Circuits."
Q: How did you prepare for your college experience?
Anderson: I am not sure there is much we can do to prepare ourselves for college. College is unlike anything else one can experience. While it is very enjoyable it is also very challenging.
Q: Did/do you have a mentor that has helped guide you thus far?
Anderson: Yes. I was fortunate to have people in my life who have "been there" before, to provide an external perspective. The mentors that I have had did not come through a formal mentorship program. Rather, my academic advisors and co-op bosses willingly gave me advice. During college there are a ton of decisions to make that have a great effect on the rest of our life. Fortunately, there are so many people who have "been there" before, just waiting for someone to ask their advice.
Q: Is there a specialty area you have focused on in engineering? If so, what is it, and how did you decide on this specialty? Also, at what point in your college experience did you decide?
Anderson: Going into college I was sure that I wanted to go into engineering, but could not decide between architectural, electrical, or computer engineering. Fortunately the first year of engineering school is the same regardless of the specialty. This provided a year of examining what was involved with each specialty. Since computing has always been a hobby of mine, when one of my advisors shared with me that I should major in something I love, I declared my specialty in ECE.
Q: Why did you decide to go for a Ph.D? How did you think this might impact your employment down the road?
Anderson: It was a tough decision, however my advisor instructed me that if I was planning to complete a Ph.D. sometime in my life, now was the time. He went on to say that most individuals who do not complete their Ph.D. right after MS will never do so. Since I was fairly certain about my desire to continue research professionally (whether for a university or industry) and a Ph.D. is a necessary component in that field, I decided to continue on towards the Ph.D.
Q: Is it hard to balance your engineering studies with other college activities (entertainment, travel, having fun)?
Anderson: Not really, as long I remained disciplined and worked hard, there was plenty of free time.
Q: Do you find yourself studying more in a team situation or alone? Do you have a preference?
Anderson: There is no way one can graduate from engineering school without the help of others. No one person is able to absorb every last detail that a professor teaches. Something that you miss someone else did not and visa-versa.
Q: What's the hardest thing you have found about your college experience working toward a degree in engineering?
Anderson: Being dedicated to a class that seems to have no direct application to what I would eventually do as an engineer.
Q: What's the most rewarding aspect about working toward a degree in engineering?
Anderson: It is so much fun to see something that I made, designed and built, work and be used.
Q: Do you think you'll continue studying engineering, or do you think you'll switch to another area? Why?
Anderson: I am confident I will continue studying engineering.
Q: Do you have any idea what sort of industry or work you'd like to do when you graduate? If so, how did you find out about this industry or field?
Anderson: There is so much that I can do with an engineering degree, however, I think I will end up continuing research in the area of computer networks.
Q: Did you think that school will prepare you for the way the work gets done in the real world?
Anderson: I think that school has helped in preparation for the "real world." The experiences that I gained during my co-ops were absolutely invaluable.
Q: How many engineering schools did you apply to? How many accepted you?
Anderson: I applied to three, and was accepted to one.
Q: Did you have a "first choice?" Were you accepted into your "first choice?"
Anderson: Drexel was not my first choice, but looking back I am SO glad that I came here.
Q: What should high school students be doing to prepare themselves to take on the work that engineering students do?
Anderson: Come to school with an open mind, be prepared to work hard and have a good time doing it. In the end, if you want to be an engineer, school will be so much fun.

U.S. Debt Reaches Record $11 Trillion
By: RNS
Updated: March 18, 2009
Eleven trillion one dollar bills would circle the earth about 77 times. If stacked one atop the other, 11 trillion one dollar bills would reach more than three and a half times the distance to the moon.
Sen. Kent Conrad of North Dakota, chairman of the Budget Committee, announced yesterday the $11 trillion debt could force Congress to make "adjustments" to President Obama's $3.6 trillion budget plan.
The number is likely to have serious ramifications for presidential plans for nationalized health care, education and other programs while the government battles to stabilize the economy.
Sen. Conrad has told reporters the deficit is "going to require all of us to make adjustments."

I bought this furnace from Willoughby Ohio Amana dealer, and it was shipped from New Vision Distribution in ft. Wayne, in. I also bought a central ac with coil and lineset. When the items arrived I checked all of the boxes for damage and there was none, so a few days later upon opening the furnace box we noticed the top right rear corner was bent and wringled and the blower moter was not in straight and it's flange was also bent. It had to have been done at the factory since the box was fine. They must have dropped it and went ahead and boxed it that way. [itiots] I was able to straighten the sheet metal and flange but took 2-3 hours of my time for that. The blower had to be loosened on the shaft and centered also. My installer finally got it working but I would never buy another furnace or ac without seeing it locally first. Buy a Coleman as this was so wide it barely fit where the old Coleman was at, and floor holes didn't even line up.

I have a Miller Nordyne m3rl060a bw propane furnace. I had to replace the gas regulator last year. Last year I started using an excessive amount of fuel. I thought it was my propane gas fireplace. So, in preparation for the upcoming heating season, I started to investigate & found the inductor restrictor plate had disintegrated and was almost gone & that the comb. exit box had a cracked fitting from overheating.

In this year's Influential Women special section, we talk with 30 women leaders helping to shape the housing sector. These are decision-makers who have distinguished themselves as innovators, entrepreneurs and trailblazers.
Please see our full magazine flip book where we delve into why we think it's important to get to know them. Some are household names. Others may fly under the radar but are influential in their day-to-day work to make this industry strong. Their experience spans a wide spectrum, from housing policy on the steps of Capitol Hill to running large nonprofits. They include lenders, mortgage servicers, housing analysts and technology gurus.
We hope you enjoy reading their stories of success as much as we enjoyed telling them.
Laurie Maggiano
Director of Policy, Office of Homeownership Preservation | Treasury Department
The "architect" of the Home Affordable Modification Program, the most ambitious and one of the most maligned government initiatives to combat the foreclosure crisis, is certainly influential.
Congress allocated more than $29.9 billion for servicers, investors and borrowers in the hopes of preventing between 3 million and 4 million foreclosures since it launched in March 2009. Completed permanent modifications didn't pass 1 million until this spring on just more than 2 million trial plans offered.
"If I were able to rewrite this program from the beginning, there are many things that would look like they do today," says Laurie Maggiano, who serves as a housing adviser to senior level officials at the Treasury Department and other federal agencies.
HAMP was originally scheduled to expire at the end of 2012, but the Treasury decided earlier this year to extend it another year, relax certain rules and offer higher payouts in the hopes of reaching more borrowers and inducing more principal reduction.
Servicer participation in the new rule changes has been uneven with some missing implementation of the new guidelines by the June 1 deadline. Some commentators, including the special inspector general for the Troubled Asset Relief Program, alerted Treasury to the potential increase in fraud by allowing investors who bet on an overheated real estate market into the taxpayer-funded program.
Still, Maggiano believes the program will end up being more beneficial than detrimental. She does anticipate the redefault rate going up by easing the rules, but she sees them as a necessary but possibly last step in tweaking HAMP. She says future changes to the program are still possible but very unlikely.
"One of the things I'm proud of is that I have managed to maintain a very positive relationship with the senior leadership at all of the servicers. But if we have to change the program again, that might end very quickly," Maggiano says. "Each time a change happens, servicers have to regroup. They needed to work hard but you can only push a structure so far. It's time for servicers to have an opportunity to be successful with the tools they now have."
Maggiano, since the 2009 initiation of HAMP, has held primary responsibility for the research and drafting of 35 major policy documents, an effort that required the collaboration with a diverse group of stakeholders within the government and private sector.
Her milestones date back to the late 1970s when she received a real estate broker's license in Arizona. She even spent a two-year stint early in her career as editor of a biweekly real estate trade journal. More recently, Maggiano served as acting director of the Office of Single Family Asset Management at the Department of Housing and Urban Development. There, she was a primary architect of HUD's successful single-family loss-mitigation program.
Maggiano's achievements include a Women in Default Servicing leadership award and a lifetime achievement award for her leadership in mortgage servicing.

text: The Show Catwalk Close up Back stage Fashion Shows Spring/Summer 2006 Ready-To-Wear Luella 11 September 2005 By Camilla Morton, in New York THE music was so loud we felt like we'd had a facelift thrown in for free by the time the first model prowled onto the runway... and what a model that turned out to be. Carmen Kass - all soft curls and sassy – wore the sequinned pencil skirt that will clearly haunt you till you have it, in a rare but loyal appearance for her buddy Luella. With tight and trashy - slutty yet stylish - Luella has carved her name as the MOC [model's own clothes, the new abbreviation, so I am told] uniform du jour. As well as the painted-on jeans, soft bomber jackets and a biker jacket that would probably have Hell's Angels men weeping at your feet and begging for mercy, there was a bit of a naughty nautical theme – which also bobbed along at Sass and Bide, and as the saying goes - twice is a coincidence, but if we see it thrice - well then it's officially a trend. White rope was knotted with a sailor's precision on necklines and soft cotton dresses, colours were primary and bold, and sunglasses that Jackie O to Sienna would want to call their own were oversized and brightly coloured. Luella mixed biker chic and country casuals, hourglass Prince of Wales check with corseted strapless siren-like cocktail dresses - think Gwen Stefani rather than Christina Aguilera - and slung school satchel bags over shoulders. Snaffle loafer heels were ideal for bunking off to go and hang out in her gang, meanwhile... but are you cool enough? (September 11 1005, PM)

Marshall Islands Facts Flag
Tropical islands in the western Pacific, the Marshall Islands form two parallel island groups—the Ratak (sunrise) Chain and Ralik (sunset) Chain. These atolls, reefs, and islets include Kwajalein, test range for U.S. missiles and home to the world's largest lagoon, and Enewetak, where the United States exploded the first hydrogen bomb in 1952. Bikini Atoll is still uninhabitable because of past nuclear tests. In 1986 the former trust territory became self-governing in free association with the United States, which is responsible for its defense and foreign affairs.

Due to the holidays, this will be a brief comment.
We continue to view the current strength as a classic bear market rally typical of prior periods. Even the 1929-1932 market that declined 89% had at least five strong counter-trend rallies. The rally has taken place directly off a March 9 S&P 500 low of 666 without the retest that typically occurs at major bottoms. At the very least a retest of that low is a high probability, and it could very well fail.
Furthermore the fundamental assumptions underlying the rally are somewhat suspect. The Wells Fargo earnings report is not likely to be typical of most banks, and does not indicate a recovering economy. The recent rapid rate of decline in the economy was unsustainable, and there are numerous signs that it is no longer falling off a cliff. The economy is still falling, albeit at a slower pace, but there are no signs of an imminent recovery. Major problems are still ahead including a continuing rise in home mortgage foreclosures, credit card delinquencies and a rapidly deteriorating commercial real estate market. And let's not forget that debt deleveraging has barely gotten underway, and has a long way to go. As for valuation, the 2009 estimate for reported (GAAP) earnings for the S&P 500 is only $35 (and probably headed lower), resulting in a P/E ratio of 24 at today's closing price.

The season 6 finale, the Wedding of River Song, was an amazing story but within five minutes of finishing the first watching I an anger over the episode erupted. I recorded some of that anger in audio feedback for The Doctor Who Podcast, hopefully they'll play it. Anyway... it was an excellent story with lots of depth, as we've come to expect from Stephen Moffatt, but there's a bit at the end that is just griping me out to no end.
Hilarious retrospective of the entirety of Doctor Who from 1963 up until late 2011 Matt Smith.
The next season of Doctor Who is coming up - and the BBC has released this bit of a video to tease our appetite. The first half of season 6 left us with lots of questions.. like, why was that little girl regenerating? The trailers they released also leave lots of questions and tantalize with many new things. The entrance into Hitler's office is - well - fitting. It's clear the arc here is about The Doctor actually dying, or not. And clearly we're gonna see more of Eye Patch Lady, and somehow River Song has an Eye Patch at some time? Why would that be.
What happens when Doctor Who meets a twisted version of Frankenstein? What we get (this time) is Rebel Flesh, that is Flesh that goes on a rebellion. What happens when the creations of our technology take on a life of its own, starts running around making its own decisions, having its own offspring, and engaging in rebellion or perhaps what they might think of as a war of liberation? That's what we have in this story, a technology which can program "Flesh" to be "anything" hence create life, and what happens when it takes on a life of its own?
After the screwball tightly interwoven story arc laden season opener (Review: Doctor Who S06E02: The Day of the Moon and Review: Doctor Who S06E03: The Curse of the Black Spot), the powers that be must have realized we needed another "straight adventure" story with not a lot more than the episode in mind. That's more or less what we have - except the topic turns out to be something which fans for decades have pondered.
Okay, why are the black spots on the palm of the right hand, and in the episode before the recording gizmo thingies were punched into the palm of the right hand? Yeah, you noticed that too, eh? What do you think is the reason? I haven't a clue. Leave a comment below. Anyway, I want to write about the episode, The Curse of the Black Spot. First thing is - it's not a deeply twisted story arc thing, it's an adventure.
In Matt Smith's first season it was the Cracks in Time which was the puzzle. They appeared in every episode and we were told that "Silence Will Fall" the "Pandorica Will Open" etc. Part of the Pandorica/Big Bang episode was the destruction of the Universe and silence (as in no noise) throughout the Universe. Indeed the ending of Vampires of Venice had the Doctor go "shhh" and ask Rory to listen to the silence (no noise). It was fair then to assume when they talked about Silence Will Fall that they meant no noise silence.
Okay, that was a rubbish prediction on my part (Connections between Silence in the Library and Impossible Astronaut / Day of the Moon (Doctor Who)) so let's just try and forget about that. And it seemed like such a great idea. That's why The Doctor Who Podcast has that segment for Kooky Theory of the Week, eh?
Season 6 of "new Who" opened last weekend with an enigmatic story (the Doctor dies!) containing an enigmatic murderer and many references back to prior Doctor Who episodes (see: Review: Doctor Who S06E01: The Impossible Astronaut). To me the contents of An Impossible Astronaut point strongly to Silence in the Library. Inside the astronaut's facemask is the face of a little girl who we briefly see who, to me, looks like the little girl from Silence in the Library.
We were rewarded for our long wait since the end of Doctor Who's last season with an inscrutable episode title: The Impossible Astronaut. The episode does feature a strange astronaut character but leaves us with a zillion questions. Of course that's to be expected for the first part of a two-part story, because we are clearly in the throes of "all h__l breaking loose". It was an excellent episode that's also a huge departure from the norms of Doctor Who.

The Pregnancy Project
Hi Everyone. I'm happy to say I'm doing much better. I am slowly tasting and smelling. I'm in recovery mode. LOL I have a better time sleeping. The past few days I've been watching that TV Show "House of Payne" which is really really funny.
But Today, I just finished watching "The Pregnancy Project" while Half of Guam is at the IYAZ Concert. That TV Movie was really good! It's crazy how much people are that mean in this world. I wish people just open their eyes because each person is different.
I know quite a few people that are pretty good and handling their life with a child. Not everyone will give up their dreams. Just because someone has a child doesn't mean their life is automatically over. People need to STOP trash talking.

Allen city, school board election ballots finalized
By Andrew Snyder, email@example.com
The city of Allen will not hold an election this year as no challengers filed to run against incumbents Baine Brooks and Robin Sedlacek before Friday's deadline.
City secretary Shelley George said via email that she will present an item canceling the election to the Allen City Council at Tuesday's meeting, an action that would pull the city from a joint election contract with Allen ISD and Collin College, which both have contested elections.
Allen ISD has two school board seats on the ballot, and both are contested. Three candidates � Amy Gnadt, Ken Lento and Vatsa Ramanathan � are running for the seat of incumbent Lois Lindsey, who is retiring from the school board.
The Collin College board currently has one contested seat. Sam Roach will not run for another term, and three candidates � Jim Orr, Adrian Rodriguez and Buddy Minett � have filed to run for his seat. Two incumbents, Stacy Arias and Mac Hendricks, did not draw challengers.
The filing deadline for Andrew Hardin's seat on the Collin College board ends Monday. The extended deadline is because Hardin is running to finish the unexpired term of Brenda Goddell, who died of cancer in 2011. If elected, he would serve for two years. The normal board term is six years.
The Lovejoy ISD school board also has only one contested seat in this year's election. Incumbents Chad Collins and Robbin Wells will run unopposed, while Board President Ann Casey will be opposed by Brenda Rizos.
The city of Fairview has three city council seats and the office of mayor on the ballot. Ron Samuels and Frank O'Reilly, neither of whom are incumbents, are running unopposed, while Anton Mattli and Paul Hendricks are running against one another for the remaining council seat.
No current Fairview council members are running for their seat, though Darion Culbertson will run against Michael Pezzulli for mayor.
Early voting for the May 11 election begins April 29.

Watch a recording of the rarely seen Helicopter String Quartet, performed by the Elysian String Quartet, part of Karlheinz Stockhausen's Mittwoch aus Licht (Wednesday from Light) This was filmed in August 2012 and The Space streamed it live.
Four helicopters buzzed across the Birmingham sky as part of this ambitious and daring musical production, introduced by DJ Nihal to an audience in Birmingham.
A stunning spectacle as viewers were able to see musicians in each cockpit as they perform the score, which is in part a reaction to the noise of the rotor blades and pilot's movement.

Web Extra: Tiger Rescue Underway in Northwest Arkansas Needs Donations
By: KARK 4 News
Updated: January 30, 2013
The Turpentine Creek Wildlife Refuge (TCWR) in Eureka Springs (Carroll County) is pitching in to help a privately-owned tiger sanctuary in Mountainburg (Crawford County).
The santuary owner's failing health has prompted her to ask for help for the 30 tigers, two cougars and two leopards that have been in her care. All of the big cats are more than 15 years old.
TCWR has been moving some of the felines to its facility and is working to find homes for the others.
The rescue operation is expected to cost about $200,000 and donations are needed to save the animals.
Click here to donate to the cause. (Look for the yellow gold donate button near the top of the page).

Chester cop charged with beating up his wife in Chesco home
POCOPSON — A longtime Chester police officer and SWAT team member was arrested late last week for allegedly assaulting his wife inside their Pocopson home, according to Chester County officials.
Ernest Manerchia, 56, is accused of beating his wife after a verbal argument got out of hand, police said. Manerchia allegedly slapped his wife, grabbed her by the hair, and began to strangle her before she was able to free herself and hide inside a bathroom.
Officials praised investigators who worked on Manerchia's case, and an unrelated arrest in West Goshen that was also announced Monday, and warned that domestic violence would not be tolerated.
Lirim "Lenny" Rufati, a 24-year-old West Chester University student and West Goshen resident, was arrested for allegedly kidnapping his wife and attempting to force her onto a flight out of the country earlier this month. Rufati is also accused of repeatedly physically and sexually assaulting his wife over the past year.
"A marriage license is not permission to abuse your wife," said Chester County District Attorney Tom Hogan. "Regardless of where you are from or what you do for a living, the criminal laws against domestic violence apply to you. Nobody is above the law."
State Police responded to the home and arrested Manerchia, who was charged with aggravated assault and related charges. Bail was initially set at $7,500 upon the condition that Manerchia surrender all firearms to state police. After posting bail and surrendering 45 firearms, investigators learned that Manerchia had failed to surrender several firearms to police custody.
Manerchia's bail was revoked and he was transported to Chester County Prison on newly set $350,000 cash bail.
Hogan praised investigators from both the Pennsylvania State Police and West Goshen Police Department for their work that led to both arrests.
"These arrests were excellent work under difficult circumstances by the West Goshen Police Department and Pennsylvania State Police. Domestic violence cases can accelerate from arguments to homicides in the blink of an eye," Hogan said.
Assistant District Attorney Michelle Frei was assigned to prosecute both cases.
