We had a wonderful stay at Le Moulin de Lusseau earlier this year. I stayed with my husband and two boys for a week and we all had a thoroughly relaxing and enjoyable stay. Plenty of room for my children to play and not disturb anyone, plenty of lovely places to walk, river to paddle in, close to good local attractions such as Le Vallee des Singes and Futuroscope which was fabulous. I can't speak highly enough about the warm and friendly welcome we received from the owners. Will definitely be returning again soon. Thank you for your hospitality.

My wife and I stayed at the mill for four days in June 2012. We happened to share our stay with another couple who were house-hunting in the area, so we met at the breakfast table and shared our day's experiences. We enjoyed a good breakfast before we set off for the day. It was very helpful to have the option of an evening meal too. we stayed in the room called Higgledy, with a comfortable bed, clean room and bathroom. We enjoyed the relaxing walks all around the area. We look forward to another visit.

Lovely B&B, rooms are spacious, well equipped and the hosts so welcoming. Great spot to discover the marshes nearby and we also had an excellent day trip to Futuroscope. We'll be back!

I had the distinct pleasure of staying at Le Moulin de Lusseau in mid April of 2012. The grounds were lovely and the hosts were very friendly and an absolute delight to visit with. They were helpful in orienting me to the area and the culture and provided excellent recommendations of things to see, places to eat, etc. Breakfast was delicious and generously sized in their tea room. Interestingly, the tea room has a window through which one can see the old water mill. The room I stayed in was spacious and immaculate and the bed was very comfortable. A full-sized adult can freely move around the bedroom, bathroom, and shower stall. I hope to return to the area again and will, without hesitation, stay at Le Moulin de Lusseau. -An Adventuring American

Art Deco Bar Carts
If you're like us, than you're currently swooning over HBO's Prohibition-era masterpiece Boardwalk Empire. All that talk about drinking and not drinking got us thinking about...well, drinking. Here's a roundup of some 1920's-style bar carts in various price ranges, meant to inspire your next "behind-closed-doors" affair.
When you're pressed for space, yet still want to serve your party guests with style and elegance, nothing comes to the rescue quite like the classic bar cart. Whether situated in the corner of the living room, or proudly rolled out during cocktail hour, these beauties are sure to garner up some "oooh's" and "aaah's". Cheers!

Ahhh, if only I had $4600 to blow on a bar cart...that thing looks fantastic, but come on.
You do realize that nobody in the United States used Bar Carts in the 1920's?
Because alchohol was prohibited in the US, folks would hide their liquor at home in piano cases, radio cases, globes, enclosed sideboards & kitchen cupboards (or "Hoosiers"), hidden compartments in the wall paneling, behind books on a shelf, within medicine bottles, inside hollowed out Bibles & newel posts and hidden compartments in sofa & chair arms.
It wasn't until the 21st Amendment was passed in late 1933 that folks could openly display bottles of alcohol and barware in their homes again - That's when Bar Carts came into vogue...
...which is also when the Bauhaus Movement of the 1930's came into being which is the style that most of these carts are based on - not Art Deco which is a different style altogether based on the use of exotic woods, pressed/frosted glass, abstract geometric imagery, etc.
Combine the new-fangled & Modern Bauhaus style with the ability to display liquour bottles and paraphernalia, and you have the classic streamlined Depression-era chrome bar cart.
Oh Snap. Author got schooled.

Buy Local: The Lake County Food System
Local food systems offer many economic, environmental, and quality-of-life benefits that apply to businesses, residents, and Lake County as a whole. As consumers, residents benefit from having more opportunities to buy fresh produce to cook at home or eat at restaurants. Local entrepreneurs benefit from increased business opportunities, and our county as a whole benefits from stronger, more diverse local economies.
Benefits of Buying Local
Lake County Trends
An Economic Opportunity in Lake County
Economists estimate that 90-95 percent of the $48 billion worth of food consumed in Illinois – approximately $14 billion of which is fruits and vegetables– is produced elsewhere, meaning that approximately $46 billion leaves our state every year. In Lake County alone, over 88 percent of food dollars were spent outside of the county in 2009.

5 Bottoming Stocks Starting to Signal a Buy
BALTIMORE ( Stockpickr) -- Mr. Market is starting to consolidate this morning, correcting after rallying hard for all but a handful of days in 2013.
While it may not seem like it at first glance, a measured pullback is hugely constructive for a longer-term stock rally. It gives investors a chance to catch their breath after such a big move this month before giving it another go. More important, it gives investors a nicer entry point for piling onto their equity positions; after all, you can't "buy the dips" in a market where there aren't any dips.
>>5 Stocks Set to Soar on Bullish Earnings
And as far as my analysis is concerned, this is certainly a "buy the dips" kind of market.Not all stocks have been participating in January's equity rally, and in most cases that's been a red flag worth heeding. But in a select few names, signs of bottoming price action point to stocks that could be making up for lost time in February. Today, we'll take a technical look at five of them. >>5 Stocks Setting Up to Break Out For the unfamiliar, technical analysis is a way for investors to quantify qualitative factors, such as investor psychology, based on a stock's price action and trends. Once the domain of cloistered trading teams on Wall Street, technicals can help top traders make consistently profitable trades and can aid fundamental investors in better planning their stock execution. So, without further ado, let's take a look at five technical setups worth trading now. >>5 Rocket Stock to Buy This Week

The Hobbitby J R R Tolkien
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
The adventures of the well-to-do hobbit, Bilbo, Baggins, who lived happily in his comfortable home until a wandering wizard granted his wish.
This deluxe collector's edition of Tolkien's modern classic is boxed and bound in green leatherette with gold and red foil rune stamping on the spine and cover. The text pages are printed in black with green accents. It includes five full page illustrations in full color and many more in two color in addition to Thror's map — all prepared by the author.
J.R.R. Tolkien's own description for the original edition: "If you care for journeys there and back, out of the comfortable Western world, over the edge of the Wild, and home again, and can take an interest in a humble hero (blessed with a little wisdom and a little courage and considerable good luck), here is a record of such a journey and such a traveler. The period is the ancient time between the age of Faerie and the dominion of men, when the famous forest of Mirkwood was still standing, and the mountains were full of danger. In following the path of this humble adventurer, you will learn by the way (as he did) — if you do not already know all about these things — much about trolls, goblins, dwarves, and elves, and get some glimpses into the history and politics of a neglected but important period. For Mr. Bilbo Baggins visited various notable persons; conversed with the dragon, Smaug the Magnificent; and was present, rather unwillingly, at the Battle of the Five Armies. This is all the more remarkable, since he was a hobbit. Hobbits have hitherto been passed over in history and legend, perhaps because they as a rule preferred comfort to excitement. But this account, based on his personal memoirs, of the one exciting year in the otherwise quiet life of Mr. Baggins will give you a fair idea of the estimable people now (it is said) becoming rather rare. They do not like noise."
About the Author
J.R.R. Tolkien was born on January 3, 1892. After serving in the First World War, he embarked upon a distinguished career as a professor of Anglo-Saxon at Oxford University. He is the renowned creator of Middle-earth and author of the great modern classic, The Hobbit, the prelude to his epic masterpiece, The Lord of the Rings. Other works by J.R.R. Tolkien include The Silmarillion. J.R.R. Tolkien died in 1973 at the age of 81.

Dr. Brooks Moore is the medical director of the Georgia Marathon. He said if there was a bombing during the Georgia Marathon or Peachtree Road Race, people in Atlanta shouldn't worry.
"We are prepared. We have two level one trauma centers available in Atlanta, Grady and Atlanta Medical Center, and we would send our patients to those facilities and there would be triage at the scene to determine who was the most significantly injured, and then the patients that were most significantly injured would be sent to those level one trauma centers," said Moore.
The images from Monday's bombing paint a picture of chaos. The injured were scattered on the ground, bleeding from seemingly everywhere. But Moore said the injuries in bombings are pretty consistent.
"You see extremity injuries, orthopedic injuries, fractures, damage to the lungs, damage to internal organs and head injuries are typically the most severe. Most people that die from the initial explosion and secondary injuries are from flying debris," Moore said.
Moore said the key is getting to victims as quickly as possible.
"It is going to be chaotic, they are going to be multiple grievously injured patients all arriving around the same time. But through our training, we know how to triage these patients appropriately and how to get them the care that they need, which in most cases means a trip to the operating room," Moore said.
Moore said he expects there will be meetings in the coming days and months where officials will discuss what happened in Boston and lessons that can be taken from it.

Disclaimer: I got this video as part of the bloggers review program at O'Reilly.In less than 3 hours Philip Lindsay will get show you the basics on working and programming Arduino.The video is organized in 23 little segments that can be watched independently.It starts with the basics on what is Arduino the components and the layout of the circuit, what tools and components you will need to complete the tutorial and how to install the development environment in your computer.They cover Windows, Mac OX and LinuxYou will learn how to create a series of simple projects that make some LEDs blinks or take inputs from pushing buttons, but those projects are the basics for any other from of interaction with the Arduino.One of the videos that I particularly enjoyed was Exploring the hardware ecosystem to give you an idea of the depth and breath of the Arduino world.You will work on four projects in total, increasing the level of difficulty just a bit in each one, while introducing a new concept.The production of the videos is very good, with nice long sequences taking from the top of the circuit where you can easily follow the connections and what's going on in each project.
Video is a great way to learn this topic

New York • If you're flying this summer, be prepared to kiss your family goodbye at the gate. Even if they're on the same plane.
Airlines are reserving a growing number of window and aisle seats for passengers willing to pay extra. That's helping to boost revenue but also making it harder for friends and family members who don't pay this fee to sit next to each other. At the peak of the summer travel season, it might be nearly impossible.
What families can do
New seat assignments can be snagged for free starting five days before departure as some elite fliers are upgraded to first class.
Another block of seats is released 24 hours in advance when online check-in starts.
Gate agents can sometimes put families in seats set aside for disabled passengers or ask others to move.
|Join the Discussion
|Post a Comment
Buying tickets two or more months in advance makes things a little easier. But passengers are increasingly finding that the only way to sit next to a spouse, child or friend is to shell out $25 or more, each way.
With base fares on the rise — the average roundtrip ticket this summer is forecast by Kayak.com to be $431, or 3 percent higher than last year — some families are reluctant to cough up more money.
"Who wants to fly like this?" said Khampha Bouaphanh, a photographer from Fort Worth, Texas. "It gets more ridiculous every year."
Bouaphanh balked at paying an extra $114 roundtrip in fees to reserve three adjacent seats for him, his wife and their 4-year-old daughter on an upcoming trip to Disney World. "I'm hoping that when we can get to the counter, they can accommodate us for free."
Airlines say their gate agents try to help family members without adjacent seats sit together, especially people flying with small children. Yet there is no guarantee things will work out.
Not everyone is complaining.
Frequent business travelers used to get stuck with middle seats, even though their last-minute fares were two or three times higher than the average. Now, airlines are setting aside more window and aisle seats for their most frequent fliers at no extra cost.
"The customers who are more loyal, who fly more often, we want to make sure they have the best travel experience," said Eduardo Marcos, American Airline's manager of merchandising strategy.
For everybody else, choosing seats on airline websites has become more of a guessing game.
To travelers who haven't earned "elite" status in a frequent-flier program, flights often appear full, even though they are not. These casual travelers end up paying extra for an aisle or window seat believing they have no other option.
But as flight departures, get closer many of the seats airlines had set aside for those willing to pay a premium do become available — at no extra cost.
"Airlines are holding these seats hostage," said George Hobica, founder of travel site AirfareWatchdog. "The seat selection process isn't as fair as it used to be."
Airlines are searching for more ways to raise revenue to offset rising fuel costs. In the past five years, they have added fees for checked baggage, watching TV, skipping security lines and boarding early.
Now they are turning to seats.
Since last summer, American, Delta Air Lines, Frontier Airlines and United Airlines have increased the percentage of coach seats requiring an extra fee. Some — such as those on Delta, JetBlue Airways and United — come with more legroom. Others, including those on American and US Airways, are just as cramped but are window and aisle seats near the front.
Allegiant Air and Spirit Airlines go one step further, charging extra for any advanced seat assignment. On Spirit, passengers who aren't willing to pay the extra $5 to $15 per flight, are assigned a seat at check-in. The computer doesn't make any effort to keep families together.
"It gets really difficult, unfortunately, because all you end up with is a lot of onesies and twosies," said Barry Biffle, Spirit's chief marketing officer. "If you want to sit together, we would highly encourage you to get seat assignments in advance."
Delta just launched a discounted "Basic Economy" fare on certain routes where it competes with Spirit that doesn't include advance seat assignments.
"Airlines have to be careful. They can only push this so far before they risk incurring the wrath of customers or the government," said Henry Harteveldt, co-founder Atmosphere Research Group.Next Page >

Went for a consultation. He bought along two young doctors. With first consult, he recommended a hemmorrhoidectomy and said I should be able to recover in a day or two, then return to work. I decided NOT to follow this advice. I am watching my diet and bathroom habits - with very good success. He charged about $1100 for 20 minute visit. I think he should have given me alternatives to surgery. He is polite, but it seems (to me) that he thinks he has the answers and I should follow it - it's all in the delivery.

Problem solved! Just one week after the production of the new Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 was put on hold, Chevrolet has announced that the hold has been lifted and the problem has been solved.
Initially, the Camaro ZL1 had to be recalled due to some potential issues that were not provided to the public. The company stopped the production and deliveries of the muscle car and even asked the one person who had taken delivery of their ride to bring it back. Chevy's thought on the matter was that it was better to prevent than to heal, so they decided that all of the vehicle should go back to the production plant to have the problem solved. They were even able to do it under their timeline of a few weeks by only taking one week to resolve the issue. Way to go, Chevrolet!
MotorAuthority says they received an email from Chevrolet that stated that the customers had been informed that "their cars will arrive at dealerships within two to three weeks. For customers whose cars are still being built, production has resumed and estimated delivery times are being developed."
The other customers who had already placed their orders but whose cars had not been sent to production yet will have to wait another two weeks before Chevrolet determines the remaining ZL1 models' allocation and timing.

North Korea says it is cutting off a key military hotline with South Korea.
The hotline allows South Koreans to cross the border and work at a jointly-run industrial complex.
The North linked the move to annual joint military exercises by South Korea and the United States.
Tougher sanctions approved by the United Nations security council have also fueled its anger.
North Korea had already shut down red cross hotlines with the South.

The University of Michigan has canceled classes for Tuesday, Jan. 28. This is the university's first day of canceling classes since January of 1978.The school's website says classes are canceled "because of extreme wind chill temperatures, expected to be as low as -30 degrees. The cancellation includes classroom and laboratory instruction."The university has gone 36 winters without canceling classes but this winter is already proving to be too much. VIDEO: Click on the video player above to hear from students in a report from FOX 2's Alexis WileyEmployees are still expected to come to work, but the university has asked supervisors to be flexible during the dangerously cold temperatures.
The university says it has begun to examine its cancellation policies and practices.
BELOW IS THE ANNOUNCEMENT SENT TO FACULTY AND STAFF: To: Ann Arbor Campus Faculty and StaffFrom: Martha E. Pollack, Robert A. Winfield, Laurita ThomasSubject: Classes canceled on Jan. 28 due to weatherColleagues:Ann Arbor Campus classes have been canceled on Tuesday, Jan. 28 because of extreme wind chill temperatures, expected to be as low as -30 degrees. The cancellation includes classroom and laboratory instruction. The suspension of classes will help students avoid long campus walks and extended time waiting outdoors for bus transportation.Campus operations will continue. However, while staff should plan to report as usual, we ask that supervisors be flexible and make reasonable accommodations for these extreme circumstances. Travel may be hazardous, especially on foot or by bus, and we ask that all of our colleagues remain sensitive to safety concerns. Parking and Transportation Services is increasing bus frequency to help minimize wait times.Staff who are unable or choose not to travel to campus on Tuesday should contact their supervisors to use vacation time or unpaid time off. Please also consider holding meetings by phone or video technology if they would require faculty and staff to travel or walk long distances while extraordinarily low wind chill temperatures persist.When outdoors at home or on campus, remember to dress appropriately. Relatively short periods of exposure to these temperatures can be hazardous and faculty, staff and students are encouraged to stay indoors as much as possible. Faculty members with questions should contact their department chair or dean's office. Staff members should contact their supervisors.A university committee has just begun to examine policies and practices regarding reduced operations related to extreme weather.Martha E.

Alex Pena is not wasting any time in hopes of becoming a foreign correspondent. He's headed to East Africa to find stories no one else has told. Here's what he posted on Facebook on December 28th:
"Tomorrow, I leave the U.S. with my backpack, a camera, and a crazy dream of becoming a foreign correspondent. First stop, London, then off to the horn of Africa to start my new year. I'll miss you all very much, but I've got to go!"
Alex just graduated a few weeks ago from Florida Gulf Coast University in Fort Myers, Florida. He'll be freelancing for Voice of America and plans to be based in Nairobi, Kenya. He also hopes to pick up other freelance assignments with other media companies.
Alex says "Two main stories I will look into is the rise of Islamic militants in Southern Somalia and the recent incursion of the Kenyan military to rid Somalia of them. Also the effect that has on food aid in the region as East Africa continues to struggle with the worst famine in over a century. The goal is to bring these stories to the mainstream media in America."
Alex's inspiration to become a foreign correspondent was NBC's Richard Engel. Alex remembers going home from high school and watching Engel in action on television. Since then he's met Engel in person and keeps in touch with him.
Alex also knows that East Africa is not a region without conflict, and it may not be a safe place for a journalist. But he believes this is the only way to find the stories he wants to cover. He adds "How else can I find the stories if I'm not there? On the ground reporting is very important to me. I've seen how powerful and important it can be, so being there seemed like the best way to tell the best stories."
Alex got interested in journalism after he took a television production class in high school. Then he made his mark while going to Florida Gulf Coast University. He recalls the school lacked equipment, but that didn't stop him from learning.
The 22-year-old says "They had no cameras, and just a weekly newspaper. I remember finding an old photography tripod and turning my point and shoot camera to video mode and filing multiple stories that way. I edited on windows moviemaker and then posted the YouTube videos on the schools website."
Alex was eager to learn as much as he could about journalism so he applied for multiple internships. That's where he made good connections and got good experience.
He had five internships, mostly in local news and one with NBC News with Brian Williams. Alex got that internship after he won the National Association of Hispanic Journalist's student fellowship.
It was during his first week as a local news intern that Alex showed his fearlessness. He says "During my first week as an intern at NBC-2, the earthquake in Haiti hit. I grabbed my camcorder, managed to buy a plane ticket to the DR (Dominican Republic), and crossed the border into Haiti. I came back the next week for classes with a story about a local Fort Myers resident who went in search of his family in Haiti"
Alex's Haiti story impressed the local NBC affiliate's news director who decided to air the story. That opened the door for more opportunities for Alex. More of his stories would later air on NBC-2.
Alex also spent his own money on other assignments. He headed to Mexico to cover the drug wars. That landed him on CNN. Alex has been such a stand out that ABC News student campus program awarded him "Roving Reporter of the Year. Professors at the school are amazed by Alex's work, because the school doesn't even have a journalism degree program.
Alex is a one-man-band. He shoots, edits, and reports. He also knows the tools and equipment he'll need in the most remote areas of East Africa.
He plans to travel to Dadaab refugee camp on the border of Kenya and Somalia. He says "In those types of reporting situations, I have to prepare to have no resources at hand and be completely independent."
Alex admits he's nervous, and so is his family in Florida; but they're all confident he will achieve his goal. He says "No matter how crazy of an idea it has been. From drug lords in Mexico, to camping in tent cities in Haiti, they have stood by me 100% saying that I could achieve anything, but I'd have to try first. I bought them a bunch of African phone cards for Christmas so they can call me directly once I'm there."
This young journalist thinks big and only has one fear in his heart. He says "I fear failure, like anyone else, but I think the key is to not let that ever stop me from going out into the world and trying".

Ch. 1-2: "Two Books" by God? God's Word and God's World
God invites us to understand his power and nature through studying what has been made.
Origins News Roundup for September 3, 2014
This week's news features volcanoes, skeletons, and stars, as well as a thought-provoking new book from InterVarsity press.
Scientific Passions
All of science's discoveries are undergirded by beliefs about the true, good, and beautiful, which makes it all the more tragic when scientists claim to have risen above the search for these things.
Series: Fundamentalists, Modernists, and Evolution (3 entries)
Series: Excerpts from "Evolving: Evangelicals Reflect on Evolution" (13 entries)
We need to hear stories from others who have wrestled with evolution and Christian faith. What arguments made them change their views on science? How did they hold fast to their relationship with God? The essays in this series will eventually comprise a book, provisionally titled, "Evolving: Evangelicals Reflect on Evolution."
Who's Afraid of Science?
Learning about science has taught me humility about my Bible reading and it has pushed me to think again, to read again, to ask again, and to wonder all over again what the Bible was saying when it was written and how the Bible was heard to its original hearers (so far as the evidence permits us to know such things).
Origins News Roundup for July 23, 2014
This week in origins news, a great collection of articles by key players in the conversation about theology and science, a surprising science fair discovery, and the Apollo 11 anniversary!
Series: Belief in God in a World Explained by Science (3 entries)
Evolution Basics: At the Frontiers of Evolution, Part 2: Abiogenesis and the Question of Naturalism
But Dennis, you might say, aren't you assuming that life had a "natural" origin? Aren't you discounting the possibility that God might have brought life about through supernatural means? Haven't you capitulated to "naturalism" from the outset?
Origins News Roundup for July 9, 2014
This week in origins news is a rousing medley of articles about science and faith, from multiple angles. Some classics on science, religion, and the classroom along with some probing into where atheists come from, new resources from John Polkinghorne, and an off-the-beaten-path blog post.
Religion, Science, and Society
Conflicts occur when people argue one worldview against another. They may be arguing Atheism versus Monotheism, then pull out science as a weapon saying, "science proves I'm right because of this or that..." In my view, science is rather more limited than this. Science has a lot of interesting resonances with the big questions, and can inform them, but I don't believe it can answer them.
Creation Unfolding: Reading Genesis in a Historical Setting
For my part, the historical setting of the text plays an important role in how I read. It's not a problem in my view to see the authors of Genesis embedded in their times, writing in the scientific/mythological terms they knew, even if those terms are now obsolete.
Video repost: Chris Tilling on Biblical Genre and Relational Truths
"There are clues in a text as to how the text should be written, so with Genesis, the rhythmic nature of Genesis 1 and 2, the almost poetic, and hymnic, function that it would have played in the liturgy of the earliest Jewish lives… it seems to me that there are clues here that it should be read in a theological way."
Interview with Ronald Osborn
We must press beyond the various creation narratives in the Hebrew Bible, including the final chapters of Job, to the picture of God revealed in the New Testament—the Creator who does not rationally explain away the scandal of suffering but who instead enters into it.
A Review of "Death Before the Fall: Biblical Literalism and the Problem of Animal Suffering" by Ronald E. Osborn
The confident assertion that the Bible trumps science stems from a misunderstanding of the purpose of the scriptures, and a misapplication of the Bible to answer questions that can only be answered by the application of science.
Series: Creation, Evolution, and the Over-Active Imagination (2 entries)
The Strange Tension Between Theology and Science
The problem comes when materialism, claiming the authority of science, denies the possibility of all other types of knowledge — reducing human beings to a bag of chemicals and all their hopes and loves to the firing of neurons. Or when religion exceeds its bounds and declares the Earth to be 6,000 years old. In both cases, the besetting sin is the same: the arrogant exclusive claim to know reality.
Series: On Creating the Cosmos, by Ted Peters (9 entries)
Last year I introduced readers to one of the leading voices about Christianity and science, John Polkinghorne. I also helped BioLogos bring in another leading voice, Robert Russell. This new series introduces a third prominent Christian thinker, Lutheran theologian Ted Peters, Research Professor Emeritus in Systematic Theology and Ethics at Pacific Lutheran Theological Seminary, the Center for Theology and the Natural Sciences (http://www.ctns.org/), and the Graduate Theological Union in Berkeley, California.
An Impossible World
What if political, social, religious, and scientific groups the world over adopted [a gracious] approach to dialogue and their own desires? What if we didn't have to be snide and aggressive to get our point across and to elicit cheering (or jeering) from our respective constituencies?

The widow of comic actor Tom Poston, Pleshette died of respiratory failure Saturday evening at her Los Angeles home, Robert Finkelstein, an entertainment lawyer and family friend, told the Associated Press. Pleshette underwent chemotherapy in 2006 for lung cancer.
She also appeared with Troy Donahue, to whom she was married for eight months in 1964, in the 1962 romantic drama "Rome Adventure" and the 1964 western "A Distant Trumpet."
On Broadway in 1961, Pleshette replaced Anne Bancroft in the role of Annie Sullivan in "The Miracle Worker," opposite Patty Duke as Helen Keller.
And on television in 1991, she earned an Emmy Award nomination for the title role in the TV movie "Leona Helmsley: The Queen of Mean."
But she had a flair for comedy.
Among her screen credits are "40 Pounds of Trouble," "If It's Tuesday, This Must Be Belgium," "Support Your Local Gunfighter," "The Shaggy D.A.," "The Adventures of Bullwhip Griffin," "The Ugly Dachshund" and "Blackbeard's Ghost."
Pleshette, however, is best remembered for playing what New York Times critic Frank Rich once described as "the sensible yet woolly wife" on "The Bob Newhart Show," which ran from 1972 to 1978. Her role as Emily earned her two Emmy nominations.
Pleshette retired from acting after marrying her second husband, wealthy businessman Tom Gallagher, in 1968. She told TV Guide in 1972 that after she'd been hanging around the house for six months, "my loving husband said, 'You're getting to be awfully boring. Go back to work.' "
After trying to figure out how she could return to work without having to get up at 5 a.m. or go out of town for weeks on movie locations, she recalled, "I said to myself, 'What can you do best?' 'Talk,' I said. 'So what better than the talk shows on TV?' I said. I picked up the phone and asked my agent to try to book me with Johnny Carson."
She made a couple of dozen appearances on the Carson show over the next few years, including one with fellow guest Newhart -- a show seen by writers David Davis and Lorenzo Music, the creatorsof the upcoming Newhart show.
"Suzanne started talking, and I looked at Lorenzo and Lorenzo looked at me," Davis told TV Guide. "There she was, just what we were looking for.
"She was revealing her own frailties, talking freely about being over 30. She was bubble-headed but smart, loving toward her husband but relentless about his imperfections. We were trying to get away from the standard TV wife, and we knew that whoever we picked would have to be offbeat enough and strong enough to carry the show along with Newhart. We didn't dream Suzanne would accept the part."
Pleshette told the magazine that "Bob is just like my husband, Tommy, letting me go bumbling and stumbling through life. And the way it's written, the part is me. There's the stream of non sequiturs by which I live. There are fights. I'm allowed to be demonstrative. But the core of the marriage is good."
Off-camera, Pleshette was known for being what an Orlando Sentinel reporter once described as "an earthy dame, an Auntie Mame who isn't afraid to tell a dirty story." Or, as TV Guide put it in 1972: "Her conversations -- mostly meandering monologues -- are sprinkled with aphorisms, anecdotes, salty opinions and X-rated expletives."
She enjoyed talking so much that during the making of "The Geisha Boy," Lewis took to calling her "Big Mouth."
Newhart, according to the TV Guide article, "was finding himself outtalked by Suzanne on the set about 12 to 1 but professed to be unperturbed by the phenomenon."
"I don't tangle," Newhart said, "with any lady who didn't give Johnny a chance to exercise his mouth -- even to sneer -- for 10 whole minutes."

I recently bought my first subaru. it's a 97legacy outback and i absolutely love the car. the other day while sitting idle in my car for a bit all of a sudden my check engine light came on, and my temperature gague was starting to get up there. i turned it off, let it cool down and drove home without a problem later. i'm a first time car owner and don't know much about cars but when my uncle and i opened the hood we noticed the fans weren't running. i turned on the a/c and they kicked on for a bit and the idle went up, then it went down a minute later and the fans shut off. We ran a code scanner through it and it returned the error code p1506. I've looked around a bit and the only leads i've gotten are that iut's the idle air intake valve. i hear it's an easy fix but i wanted to get some more opinions on it and see if anyone's had a similar issue.

Will life inside this bottle rescue me,
From sorrow, shame, and Sin's seductive crown?
Though her river's release and relax me,
I dare to dream a day that I would drown.
Problems are puzzles, piece apart from peace,
And waterfalls of wine weaves worries wind...
Away as lust of her I love to lease,
Consuming happiness...a short-lived friend.
Shall moderation of my life concur,
Music without mourning my morbid health?
For days on days I drink thine depths of her,
And gray to grey I grow unguarded wealth.
To I my eye shall lie and I will eye,
Her rivers, never sober, never dry.

Days after former Charlotte mayor Patrick Cannon was arrested on federal corruption charges by the FBI, his wife has been fired from her real estate job.
WBTV obtained an internal email from the President and Chief Operating Officer of Allen Tate Real Estate, Pat Riley.
In the email, Riley notified employees that Cannon's wife, Trenna, has been an agent with the Ballantyne office.
"Given that the case is under federal investigation, we have surrendered Trenna's license to the State, effective immediately," Riley's email states.
WBTV has learned that Cannon's real estate license is still valid in North Carolina, but she is no longer employed with Allen Tate.
Charlie Moody with the North Carolina Real Estate Commission (NCREC) says Allen Tate's internal email is not factual.
According to Moody, the company can't surrender an agent's license because "surrendering" would be a mutual act and the agent would have to agree.
Moody says the NCREC could take disciplinary action and revoke Trenna Cannon's license, but that move has not been discussed.
In the internal email, Riley says the company must allow the investigation into Patrick Cannon take its due course and asked employees to "not engage in any speculation or gossip concerning the case in any type of venue."
The email continues that the company is focused on what is the best for Charlotte.
"While saddened by the news of allegations, we are thankful that Patrick Cannon stepped aside at this time so the city can move forward," Riley said in his email.
Trenna Cannon has not been charged with any crimes as of Friday morning, but was listed on multiple pages in the affidavit against her husband, Patrick.
According to the affidavit, an undercover FBI agent paid for a trip to Las Vegas for Patrick and Trenna Cannon in July 2013, while he was serving as Mayor Pro Tem for the city of Charlotte.
The all-expense paid trip, plus $6,000 cash were reportedly in exchange for Cannon attending what he thought was a foreign investors meeting.
At the meeting, Cannon reportedly misrepresented his relationship with the undercover agent and promised to use his official position to help the agent's "development projects in Charlotte," according to the affidavit.
Patrick Cannon reportedly asked the undercover agent for spending money for his wife while in Vegas.
According to the affidavit, "$1,000 in cash was given to Cannon when they arrived at their hotel, in close proximity to his wife."
During a meeting with the undercover agent, the next day, Patrick Cannon called Trenna on his phone and put her on speaker phone, according to documents.
"Trenna Cannon personally thanked [the undercover agent] for the $1,000 cash payment that was provided to the Cannons the previous day," the affidavit states.

Sharia Law: Extremism the Government Ignores
"The Islamic Sharia Council of Britain believes a woman's word is worth half of a man's, it also believes that men should be allowed to beat and rape their wives and that divorce should be the right of a man but available to women only with male permission.
The kind of society they wish for - an Islamist society - is one where death is the punishment for homosexuality and adultery, where apostates are killed and non-believers subjugated, and where freedom of speech is blasphemous.
Perhaps the most disgusting aspect of sharia in Britain however is the sanctioned rape of thousands of young girls (some as young as five) under the guise of "marriage" and carrying on with impunity in sharia councils and mosques all over the country. The Sunday Times has proved that this is happening, as has the Iranian and Kurdish Women's Rights Organisation.
The Islamic Sharia Council is an extremist and misogynistic body run by theocrats; some of whom are linked with the "moderate" Muslim Council of Britain."

Molecule of the Week
September 13, 2013
Tocotrienols, like tocopherols, are members of the vitamin E family. The tocopherols have saturated side chains, whereas the tocotrienol side chains contain three double bonds. Both have α, β, γ, and δ forms, which describe the positions of one or more methyl groups on the aromatic ring.
δ-Tocotrienol is the most biologically active tocotrienol. Studies have shown that it may be useful for treating conditions such a stroke-induced injury; high serum cholesterol; diabetes; and pancreatic, breast, prostate, and skin cancer. It is important that vitamin E mixtures not be used in tocotrienol studies because α-tocopherol interferes with δ-tocotrienol absorption.
More about this molecule from CAS, the most authoritative and comprehensive source for chemical information.
