Jimmy Lydon (born May 30, 1923) is an American film actor and television producer, whose career in the entertainment industry began as a teenager in the 1930s.[1]
James J. Lydon was born in Harrington Park, New Jersey, the fifth of nine children. His family was of Irish heritage. He was raised in Bergenfield, New Jersey.[2]
In 1932, his father, who was an alcoholic, decided to retire from working. This decision forced all the other members of the family to seek employment.[3] In 1937, Jimmy Lydon, not knowing what he wanted to do, tried his hand at acting. His first role was Danny in the Broadway play Western Waters. He had been allowed to audition for the part after fabricating a list of roles he had previously portrayed. In the next couple of years, he learned the acting craft while performing in plays such as Sunup to Sundown, Prologue to Glory, Sing Out the News and The Happiest Days. In 1939, he moved with his family to Hollywood in order to seek film roles.
One of his first starring roles was the title character in the 1940 movie Tom Brown's School Days, also starring Cedric Hardwicke and Freddie Bartholomew. It was well received by critics, with Variety praising it in a January 1940 review as "sympathetically and skillfully made, with many touching moments and an excellent cast". Lydon was called "believable and moving in the early portions, but too young for the final moments".[4]
Between 1941–1944, under contract to Paramount Pictures, Lydon starred as the screechy-voiced, adolescent Henry Aldrich in the movie series of that title.[3]
After completing the Aldrich series, the 21-year-old Lydon signed a contract in 1944 with Republic Pictures.[5]
He appeared with William Powell, Irene Dunne, and Elizabeth Taylor in the acclaimed 1947 film Life with Father, in the role of college-bound Clarence. Variety called Jimmy Lydon's portrayal "effective as the potential Yale man".[6]
He then appeared opposite James Cagney in the 1948 movie The Time of Your Life. From 1949-1950, he and Janet Waldo voiced the leading characters in the radio adaptation of the comic strip Young Love.
Lydon easily gained roles in the new medium - television. He portrayed Chris Thayer on The First Hundred Years. The show was CBS' first daytime soap opera. It was performed live for three seasons and 300 episodes.
In 1953, he was Murray in the aviation adventure film Island in the Sky, starring John Wayne. He also played Biffen Cardoza on the last six episodes of Rocky Jones, Space Ranger in 1954 and made appearances in Lux Video Theatre and The Christophers.
In 1958, the actor played the role of Richard in Anne Jeffreys and Robert Sterling's short-lived sitcom, Love That Jill. Lydon appeared in guest roles on Crossroads, Casey Jones, The Life and Legend of Wyatt Earp, Wagon Train, Hennesey, The Twilight Zone, and Tales of the Texas Rangers, as Lt. Jared Evans in the 1958 episode "Warpath". A year later, he guest starred on the ABC/Warner Brothers western television series Colt .45, starring Wayde Preston. Lydon played the role of Willy in the episode "Return to El Paso", with Paul Picerni cast as Jose.[7]
After working increasingly in television in the 1950s, he turned to production roles, helping to create the detective series 77 Sunset Strip and the CBS sitcom M*A*S*H. He also produced the television adaptation of the film Mister Roberts in 1966 and Roll Out in 1973-74. Lydon also played Captain Henry Aldrich (a reference to his Aldrich movie series) on the latter show.
During the 1980s, Jimmy continued to act in television, with roles on Lou Grant, Simon & Simon and St. Elsewhere episodes .
Jimmy Lydon resides in Bonita, California, with his wife, the former Betty Lou Nedell, whom he married in 1952. They have two daughters and two granddaughters.

Ordering for a Team?
Let our Team Division Help!
Item has a Minimum Qty
For training or dual meets, the Splatter Splash Jammer uses the latest Speedo® technology to let you perform your best.
My husband tried these on in store to get the right size (he liked the 34s) and when we ordered a 34 it was way too small so we returned it for a 36. The 36 still feels a bit tight around the knees but fits well in the waist.
I recently purchased a different swim suit ( a Speedo) than this one and within 2 months it had faded and started to come apart. I submitted an email to Swim Outlet and within 48 hours they had contacted me and agreed to replace the defective suit. I have used Swim Outlet for more than 5 years and will not buy anywhere else! THANKS FOR GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE! By the way this suit is awesome!
I ordered two different jammer suits for my grandson and he is delighted. I ordered the wrong size first time and reordered, 2nd time was a charm, he lovesthem.
Well, my son has only worn it 3-4 times now. I might say it looks adorable on my 5 yr old. It might not make it until next year for him size wise. My fault I probably should have ordered one size up. It fits perfect now. I would rather they fit snug. They start to look sloppy when they are too big. I only rinse it and hang it up to dry. Still looks brand new.
Love the fit and function of the suit
I bought it for my son. my son always have been wearing 28inch. but, It is too tight so my son cannot be wearing.
Great suit but a little snug. I'm not really complaining though because I have some room to lose and this will serve as a motivation to slim down a little. But if you are in tip-top swimmer shape, you might want to go a size slightly bigger unless you like being sausaged into your suits.
I love the fit and the graphics. I'm 53 and I love swimming laps in my Speedo!

Last Saturday the Chatfield cross-country teams ran at the Jim Flim Invitational cross-country meet at St. Mary's University in Winona.
After having a bye last week, the Chatfield Gophers will take on Caledonia Friday night in a battle of state-ranked teams.
The Chatfield volleyball team improved its Three Rivers Conference record to 5-0 last week with a pair of wins over Cotter (3-0; 25-11, 25-17, 25-13) and Southland (3-0; 25-19, 25-12, 25-22). The Lady Gophers are now 6-4 overall.
The Chatfield girls volleyball team took care of Rushford-Peterson in three sets last week, 25-15, 25-15, 25-15, improving its Three Rivers Conference record to 3-0.
It didn't take long for the Chatfield Gophers to score against neighboring Kingsland, 1:44, as they went on to a 48-0 win over the Knights.
"Despite the team placings, we had some very strong performances," said Chatfield cross-country coach Chris Frye. "Thirteen kids ran personal-record times, and we saw improvement across the board from previous meets. Our goal is to improve every meet, and we saw that at Luther."
Last week the Chatfield girls split a pair of matches, losing to a very good Rochester Mayo team, 0-3 (4-25, 25-27, 15-25) and downing Three Rivers Conference foe Caledonia 3-2 (25-23, 16-25, 25-21, 24-26, 15-8).
With the early edition due to Labor Day last week, results from the Chatfield football game with Rushford-Peterson weren't available. The final result was a "thumbs down" as the Gophers lost to the state ranked Trojans, 29-12.
The Chatfield Gophers boys only had five runners in the varsity meet at Hayfield last week and finished fifth (119 points) out of nine teams, but individually, Christian Bance was second in the 5,000-meter race with a time of 18:01.9.
The Chatfield Gophers opened the 2014 football season with a 46-0 win over Fillmore Central, forcing six turnovers along the way, recovering three fumbles and picking off three Fillmore Central passes.

KTUL.com asked people plugged in to the mayor's race to provide some analysis of the debate. Be sure to leave your comments below about who you think came out ahead.
Jaime Adame
News Reporter, Urban Tulsa Weekly:
Despite being a decided underdog, Bill Christiansen has a natural advantage in a forum pitting him against a current mayor and a former mayor. He can swing freely at the record of both Dewey Bartlett and Kathy Taylor without having to worry much about receiving shots in return.
Christiansen, a former city councilor, punched hard at Bartlett, taking direct aim in a response to a question about the city's boards, authorities and commissions. "The current mayor has a really, really poor record of attendance," Christiansen said. For his part, Bartlett, espoused a philosophy—citing Ronald Reagan—of hiring well and letting others do their job. "It would be a misuse of my time if I spent all of my time going to meetings," Bartlett said, describing his management style as a series of informal talks going on throughout the day.
Bartlett's opening statement began with a direct jab at Taylor, who served as mayor immediately prior to his taking office, as he described inheriting a cash flow problem with city finances. "We were not living within our means," Bartlett said, going on to ask—and answer—a question he no doubt hopes will resonate with voters: "How did we get out of our problem? We managed our way out of it, and we did it without a tax increase." He articulated this campaign message only a couple of times, however, and did so without strong anecdotes or descriptions. At times, he spoke almost as if he was addressing the city council rather than undecided voters.
Kathy Taylor offered plenty of specifics, but surprisingly spent a lot of time talking about her first campaign—and not just about ONEOK Field or the BOK Center, as Taylor often answered questions by referring to specific efforts or approaches she undertook while in office. She did however advocate for some new proposals, including Tax Increment Finance Districts to improve the economic viability of some northside areas (after Christiansen voiced the same idea earlier in the debate) as well as making government data more open to the public. Taylor also wasn't shy about criticizing Bartlett for his recent budget proposal, which she described as "doing less with more."
Christiansen flubbed one answer, but it may have actually helped him. Asked about government transparency early in the debate, he spoke about holding events to bring government to the public and give people a chance to speak regularly with the mayor. "I think we need to go out into the districts," Christiansen said. "Y'know, spend the night with the mayor." And the audience roared with laughter at the obvious impropriety that might involve. But the underdog just smiled good-naturedly, as he did throughout most of the forum. After all, he wasn't the one having to listen to criticism of his record.
Carmen Pettie
Small Business Owner, Community Housing Advocate and Volunteer:
Unfortunately, I wasn't able to see or hear the entire debate due to some technical difficulties. From what I did hear, I thought some of Bartlett's comments were a bit rehearsed. Christiansen was laid back and Taylor was very pointed and confident in her comments.
Christiansen's point about mutual respect for all city employees will probably gain him a couple of more voters from the Bartlett camp. Taylor's point about transparency and fair wages will gain her a few more as well.
All in all, Taylor and Christiansen came out sounding more open and honest about their commitment to the citizens of Tulsa and transparency. Taylor did stay more focused on the responses than the other two at times.
I can't determine the winner because I didn't see the entire debate, but from what I did hear, Taylor will probably be out front.
Thank you for participating in our poll. Here are the results so far:

PHOENIX (AP) - An Arizona Senate committee has approved $500,000 in extra funding for the Independent Redistricting Commission that will allow the commission to pay for lawyers defending it from lawsuits.
The commission had asked for nearly $2.3 million to pay lawyers defending it and for reserves in case it faces more lawsuits or has to redraw district maps.
Senate President Andy Biggs told the Appropriations Committee Wednesday that he'd spoken with commission Executive Director Ray Bladine and they agreed the $500,000 would be enough for now. It passed on a 7-2 vote and moves to the gull Senate.
A House committee takes up an identical request Wednesday afternoon.
The commission redraws Legislative and congressional districts every 10 years. It faces several Republican-backed lawsuits challenging district maps the commission approved last January.

JDO/JPA : Lack of support for many methods and operators in JDOQL/JPQL
GAE/J only supports a relatively small subset of the available methods and operators of JDOQL/JPQL. This is due to the underlying datastore not supporting certain capabilities in its queryability. The problem is that this gives the impression that JDOQL/JPQL are somehow weak. What would make way more sense would be to evaluate all that is evaluatable in the datastore, and then have a flag set while compiling for whether the query contains any feature that the datastore query cannot handle and, if so, run the DataNucleus in-memory query evaluator on the resultant instances. This would provide a transparent interface to JDOQL/JPQL and mean that people don't have to have build some custom queries just to get around GAE/J shortcomings.
JDO : No support for input candidate collection for JDOQL
GAE/J does not support inputting a candidate collection and query over that collection. This is a trivial thing to support, particular since the code necessary to do it was contributed some time ago, yet isn't in the current plugin.
JDO : pm.getExtent doesn't handle subclasses
The current pm.getExtent() implementation in GAE/J doesn't support the subclasses flag. The root cause is that the underlying datastore doesn't support a single query to retrieve a class and its subclasses. The simple solution would be to run "n" queries on the datastore, one for each of the possible subclass types, and merge the results. This would be simple to do and implement, and would provide correct JDO behaviour so users don't see any shortcoming.
JDO/JPA : exposing Google-specific id classes
With GAE/J there is some flexibility on what is allowable as a PK field; Long, String, and "Key". The first two are standard classes and standard JDO. The latter is environment specific. Firstly GAE/J ought to allow short/int/Short/Integer/long for true JDO/JPA operation so that users see no difference. Secondly, the "id" exposed to the user should be a JDO or JPA id and should be portable. When we implemented support for persisting to db4o we didn't expose db4o's id, instead wrapping it internally, so the user has no unexpected classes popping up that prevent their migration elsewhere later on.
JDO/JPA : one entity group per transaction
With GAE/J you have a restriction on the number of "entity groups" that can be enlisted in any transaction. Ok, but why expose this to the user and restrict what they do ? The logical way to do it would be to have multiple "internal" transactions for a JDO/JPA transaction and have each of these for a particular entity group. Since the underlying datastore doesn't provide ACID transactions anyway there is little impact of doing this. It would then mean that you don't impose on users having to split their persistence code apart just to get it to run, and hence mean that it is portable
Unowned relations
This term is being used in GAE/J seemingly where you have a Collection<id> and so no real relation, although the "id" relate to other objects. This is perfectly representable in JDO/JPA as a Collection<long>, or Collection<String> or even Collection<Object>. With one of these "relations" the onus is on the user to manage the relation.
Support for types persistable as String
DataNucleus has, for some time, provided a mechanism for defining how to persist a type as a String (and retrieve its value from the String) - see ObjectStringConverter in DataNucleus "core" code. GAE/J could easily provide support for this in their plugin (if a type is not natively supported then check if there is an ObjectStringConverter and use that) and this would mean that many more Java types are persistable using AppEngine.
Documentation : @Persistent
In the GAE/J docs, every field has @Persistent marked against it. This is totally unnecessary, and you only need @Persistent for a non-standard field type. It leads to people believing that you must specify this to get something persisted, and so when they want to have a field not persisted they just remove the annotation. Please update the docs to reflect the minimal configuration required so we give a fair reflection of JDO and its spec. For example
public class MyClass
Long id;
String name;
double value;
Package naming "org.datanucleus.*"
This plugin is provided by Google not DataNucleus. It's currently packaged as "org.datanucleus.store.appengine". This leads to people believing that DataNucleus itself is at fault for its shortcomings. This is unacceptable and we own the domains datanucleus.org/datanucleus.com. Please rename your packages ASAP.
Nowhere have we seen any attribute of the GAE/J BigTable datastore that cannot be handled by the JDO or JPA API's. The JDO API (and metadata) in particular was designed as generic, and there is nothing in a "NoSQL" datastore that should cause it any problems with representation. We challenge anyone to define where there is such a problem area and it can then be addressed (there's a JIRA open on the Apache JDO project for just this situation); if you really can come up with a problem area then its in all of our interests to understand it and tackle it.

3 Easy Organizing Tips
We already mentioned that we traveled to the IKEA Home and Garden Show last week in Anaheim. What we didn't tell you is how much we loved the IKEA Dream Home. It was an organizer's dream. There was a place for everything and everything was in its place. Here are 3 easy organizing techniques we picked up that you can apply at home. Learn more after the jump.
- First, use the back of a door or an entry way into a space to hang items. Always be on the lookout for underutilized spaces to hang clothing or other household items. The inside of a closet door is always a safe bet for scarves, belts or ties.
- Secondly, we love using boxes, decorative baskets, and hidden storage spaces to corral blankets, books, or DVDs. The great thing about baskets is their portability making them also great for projects that travel from room to room. We love keeping a decorative basket in each room of our apartment for items that need to go back to their original home. When the basket is full, just grab it and distribute its contents to their appropriate homes.
- Last but definitely not least is our favorite organizing tip--go vertical. In this first picture, going vertical allows the homeowner to display their entire collection of pictures while giving the room a feeling of grandeur. Hanging the curtains from the ceiling to the floor also makes the space seem larger. In the adjacent picture, the shoes are being hung with a vertical shoe organizer. This example saves closet floor space and makes the shoes much more accessible.
What are your easy organizing techniques?

my favorite thing about IKEA's rooms/homes is that they actually look like someone lives in them! there is stuff! i also love how they incorporate kids stuff into a room (like the kitchen or living room) without it looking like a kid's room.
That's a great bedroom - at first glance, it doens't look like IKEA.
I've always liked the way Ikea puts together a room, I wish I could have walked the house too!
I lust over the glass-front corner-encompassing closet they've created in the store.
I just bought an ottoman with storage inside for $25 from craigslist. I love it. It helped me store away a comforter and extra decorations that were still sitting in a moving box due to the lack of space in my new place.
I also love the idea of going vertical. I have a similar shoe organizer at home. A tip for those who lack closet space -- the shoe organizer works great for rolled up towels or sheets.
This isn't very creative, but I have an under-bed bin for sweaters, and off-season clothes.
I have the same Ikea ottoman in brown and use it to store my photo albums. It's great!
My storage ottomans reside in the dining room. Nobody would ever guess that they're file storage.
I love the silver lamps in the first picture but can't find them on the ikea website. Are they ikea?
I <3 that bedroom!
Hey, I'm not allowed to take photos in Ikea! What's the deal?
I want to buy some of the bedroom "accessories" (don't know the right word to use) Where can I find out where/what they are?

Although there is some image noise present throughout this range, image quality is otherwise decent and sharp from ISO 100-400. It may not win the prize for retaining sharpness above this setting, but the larger sensor size certainly puts itself above and beyond the capabilities of some similar Panasonic models, such as the Lumix G2. ISO 800 through to ISO 3200 soften and increase in image noise presence exponentially, with 'blotchy' colour noise and significant softness from noise reduction rendering ISO 3200 just off the mark.
Samsung NX11 review - Value
At around £480 the Samsung NX11 is competitively priced. The Sony NEX-5 costs about the same (but doesn't have a viewfinder), the Panasonic Lumix G2 is actually a little less at between £420-460 and adds the benefit of a vari-angle touchscreen, while the £500 Olympus E-PL2 is the priciest of similar-spec Compact System Cameras.
The only slight concern is the availability of product. With few online retailers and not many large chain stores stocking the Samsung NX-series it's a wonder as to how much reach the product will garner over coming months.

(ABC News) --
The family of a 7-year-old New York boy is suing police and the city for $250 million, saying cops handcuffed and interrogated the boy for ten hours after a scuffle over lunch money at school.
Wilson Reyes, a student at Public School 114 in the Bronx reportedly got into a fight with a fellow student in December after he was accused of taking $5 of lunch money that had fallen on the ground in front of him. Responding to a complaint of assault and robbery, the police were called and took the boy to the local police precinct where officers allegedly handcuffed and interrogated him for ten hours, according to the lawsuit.
"Imagine how I felt seeing my son in handcuffs," Wilson's mother, Frances Mendez, told the New York Post. "It was horrible. I couldn't believe what I was seeing," she said.
The claim, filed by family attorney Jack Yankowitz, accuses the NYPD, among other things, of false imprisonment, physical, verbal, emotional and psychological abuse, and deprivation of Reyes' constitutional rights.
Robbery charges against the boy were later dropped, and the NYPD, though it disputes the accusations in the suit, is investigating the incident.
"Imagine how I felt seeing my son in handcuffs," Wilson's mother, Frances Mendez, told the New York Post. "It was horrible. I couldn't believe what I was seeing," she said.
New York City Public Advocate Bill de Blasio was critical of the NYPD in a statement posted on the New York City Public Advocate's website.
"Seven-year-olds don't belong in handcuffs," he said. "As a parent, I wouldn't stand for this in one of my kids' schools. Our school system's over-reliance on the NYPD as a disciplinary tool traumatizes our young people, sows distrust in our communities and drains vital city resources away from responding to genuine crimes. This has to stop."
Calls placed to Public School 114 were not immediately returned.

IRON RIVER (WKZO) --After months of searching across Michigan, the state's official Christmas tree, a 68-foot blue spruce, was found in the northwestern reaches of the Upper Peninsula.
Selected by the Michigan Department of Technology, Management and Budget (DTMB), the tree will be delivered to the state Capitol on Saturday, Nov. 9.
The search began in June when the call for tree nominations was announced, and were accepted through the end of July, when the evaluation process began.
The tree will be harvested from the yard of John and Barbara Waara, of Iron River, on Wednesday, Nov. 6. Since first nominated in 2010, the tree has grown a foot and a half.
This is the 19th tree to be selected from the Upper Peninsula; the other nine trees have come from the Lower Peninsula.
The Michigan Association of Timbermen and the Great Lakes Timber Professionals Association will cut the tree and transport it to Lansing at no cost to the state. A crew from Capitol Facilities will work with Hi-Ball Company of Lansing, who will provide a crane and crew to set the tree on Nov. 9 at 8:30 a.m.
The tree lighting will take place on the evening of Friday, Nov. 22 as part of the 29th annual Silver Bells in the City celebration, which will conclude with fireworks over the State Capitol, weather permitting.

Mariah Carey Reveals She Increased Security Following Idol Altercation With Nicki Minaj
Mariah Carey revealed that she hired more security following her behind-the-judges' bench spat with Nicki Minaj last October.
"I just felt it was the appropriate thing to do," Mariah told Barbara Walters, in a new interview for "Nightline," airing tonight on ABC. "Sitting there on the road with two babies, I'm not going to take any chances."
The superstar singer, known for her slew of big hits, including, "Vision of Love," "Hero," and "All I Want for Christmas Is You," said Nicki's angry rant caught her off guard.
"It felt like an unsafe work environment," she told Barbara. "Anytime anybody's reeling threats at somebody, you know, it's not appropriate. I'm a professional. I'm not used to that type of environment."
Mariah hopes the incident turns into a positive for the FOX reality program.
"For all the drama, I hope it helps the show," Mariah said. "I think it's a classic, classy show and it didn't need this."
The superstar entertainer wouldn't confirm how much she is receiving to appear as a judge, but she did reveal her reason for signing up.
"For me, ultimately, this is about the kids, the contestants," she said. "I've been blessed to live my dream more than half my life, so I want help give that back to someone else."

With a voice that is classic, eminently recordable and gig ready, the PRS SE 245 is perfect for traditional single-cutaway players.The PRS SE 245 is perfect for traditional single-cutaway players. The distinctive feature of this guitar is its 24.5" scale length. Most traditional single-cutaway guitars have a 24.75" scale. Though seemingly a minor detail, the .25" difference in scale length makes a huge difference in the overall playability. Players will love the ease of string-bending and effortless vibrato on the SE-245 because of the lesser tension created by the 24.5" scale length. The neck is carved from mahogany into a luxurious "wide fat" profile with a rosewood fingerboard and the familiar PRS bird inlays as standard appointments.

Comments about Paul Reed Smith SE 245 Electric Guitar:
I purchased this from Sam Ash during their closeout at the end of 2012 for roughly $350, which was definitely a steal. What's more given all of the reviews touting how great this guitar was seemed to make it an even better deal. After owning for 7 months I'm glad I only paid $350, and here is why:
1. It is NOT as good as a Gibson LP studio as people are saying. I own a LP studio (2005), and the Gibson has more tone, power, better tuners, better wood and is made in the US.
2. The PRS SE245 goes out of tune too often. This is a real problem during a gig.
3. The chrome finish on the tailpiece is wearing off where my hand rubs it. 7 months?
4. The pickups are OK, but no where near as powerful and rich as the LP.
5. The neck on mine seems to bow easily and needs adjusting.
6. It's made in Korea, which does mean less quality. Sorry, it is true.
With that said it is very nice to play. Playability is nicer than the LP Studio that I own. Smoother, but the neck is fatter. String bends are very easy as well. Lastly, it is nice and light, which makes holding a long time less straining. Although, a LP Studio is not heavy either.
All in all it is a decent guitar for practicing, but I really don't think it is gig worthy unless you replace the tuners. Also, for $620 you might want to just save some more pennies and get a LP Studio new OR find a nice used one for that money. You wont regret buying the quality of a Gibson.

I love my Red PrsSE245. It's stands on it own with its unique sound and sassy looks. People always compliment me when I pull her out. It's a great guitar for a great price. Get it you won't be sorry. However keep in mind its not a Stratocaster. I am getting my strat come summer. I still aint tranding in my Prs because it still a great guitar. But some songs need to be played with a strat and some with a PRS. Just my point of view.

Comments about Paul Reed Smith SE 245 Electric Guitar:
I have really expensive guitars from les paul to rickenbacker to gibson hummingbird and american strat. Got this on black friday special and I am amazed at the quality of this guitar. I love the tones and it stays in tune like my high end stuff.
Even my wife wants me to get another.
Best Uses
Comments about Paul Reed Smith SE 245 Electric Guitar:
The guitar is fun to play. I've always played with scale length 25.5 (Fender Strat) but didn't like it so played 25 (Carvin) and liked it alot so I firgured I'd try the 24.5. It's different but I like it.
Tuners are not as "accurate" as I would like so I may have to get locking ones. Setup was fine upon arrival but does have some fret buzz but will probably get another setup if I decide to replace the tuners and may replace the strings from 9 to 10s. It's been a while since I've played 9s and forgot just how thin they are.
The guitar is heavier than the regular Singlecut SE. I was surprised by the weight but I'll get used to it.
The pickups are great and versatile. This is a great guitar and great value!
Best Uses
Comments about Paul Reed Smith SE 245 Electric Guitar:
I liked my Gibson Studios. I found this, PRS SE 245 in my local Sam Ash. It's caused me to trade off the Faded Studio for a Taylor Acoustic. Still have the 60s Tribute. From the georgeous flamed maple top, to the belly cut, and ultra comfy neck, this guitar is a fantastic value at this price point. It's a fantastic value for 3-400 or so more.
PRS Humbuckers have a very good, clear yet unique tone. A little Humbucker, a little Single Coil. More towards the Hummy side of that than say Fintertrons or TV Jones classics. But, they will give PAF, BLues, Jass, and classic rock tones with equal ease. Perfect fit for this Guitar.
Comments about Paul Reed Smith SE 245 Electric Guitar:
From the ordering process (Thanks Chris ext#2230) to the packaging, to the guitar itself, this was a great experience. When I took this beautiful guitar out of the very nice PRS SE gig bag, my first thought was, "This is a hefty slab of wood." It is SOLID, a nice big handful of Tobacco Sunburst art! Not unwieldy, but you know you got a hold of something that was put together well, to last a long time. The fit and finish is amazing, I've had it a week now, and when I pick it up, I just look at it for a bit, it is just breathtaking. The fret board, with the PRS bird inlays, the frets themselves, the nut, everything fits perfectly, no burs, no sharp edges, no "oh, they missed a spot" anywhere on this thing. The body, man, I know this isn't a "Top of the line" guitar, but I can't tell that by looking at this thing, the flame maple cap is so freaking nice, the line between the cap and the rest of the body is a great touch, then the body color kicks in, and it is just a great, great looking instrument. The bridge, pickups, and tuners are all solid, and perfectly straight, no rattle on anything, the volume and tune knobs all did what they were supposed to very smoothly. The toggle switch that selects the active pickups is nicely positioned, but mine has a bit of movement in it, not much, and it doesn't rattle or anything, but it does wiggle a bit. When you plug this thing in, it just comes alive. The sustain is just crazy. I am a beginner, so I can't make it cry or sing, but what little I can do sounds great. No buzz, no squeak. If you can't tell already, I am very pleased with the money I spent on this

Comments about Paul Reed Smith SE 245 Electric Guitar:
This guitar is better than an LP Studio and it cost half the price. The short scale makes string bends and vibrato effortless.
The pickup are hot. The neck pickup is warm and full when played clean and the bridge pickup has a great tone. Distorted is where these pick ups come into their own. You get plenty of bite without going muddy.
This is a great guitar for rock and traditional metal. Nu-metallers need to look elsewhere. Sure the short scale will create problems with tuning down. Aside from that PRS has created a great instrument and given customers tremendous bang for the buck.
Comments about Paul Reed Smith SE 245 Electric Guitar:
I've played both MIM & MIA Strats and a couple Gibson & Epi LP's and PRS blows them away right out of the box. From finish to frets and electronics. This guitar is fan-flippin-tabulous!!! With other guitars I would have to get the frets filed, bone retooled, have the whole thing set-up by a Luthier before it would even remotely play and sound as good as this pup right out of the box. Extremely satisfied with this purchase. A+++++ to Jim at extension 2224 for all his help and working a better deal than listed on website. The only regret/dislike is the weight is a bit more than anticipated but other than that, this baby plays like spreading melted butter on fresh toast!

BOWLER, Wis. (WSAU) - Head out to the North Star Casino in Bowler this weekend for the annual WDEZ Oktoberfest Dance.
The host is Polka King Jeff Heinz, who says the festival has grown over the years. "Well I started it 26 years ago, just to bring a band in and to promote polka music, and it turned out that it got bigger and bigger."
Heinz says he's got a great lineup this year. "Five until midnight on Saturday we've got the Boys from Baltimore Maryland, and also Lenny Zielinski and the D-Street Band from Chicago. Sunday is Noon to Six, and we've got the Boys again and then the Polish Connection from Mosinee, and they do a great job."
This is also the same weekend as Disco Cures Cancer, but Heinz says he's not too worried about the two events crashing into one another. "It's a Friday, Saturday Sunday thing. Disco is Friday, and my polka thing is Saturday and Sunday. If they want to wear their disco clothes to my polka fest they're more than welcome to it."
You can pick up tickets for the show at the Midwest Communications offices in Wausau or Plover, at the Wausau Music Center, or at Crossroads County Market in Wausau.

PARADISE VALLEY, Ariz. (AP) - Major League Baseball will test for human growth hormone throughout the regular season and will step up efforts to track the use of artificial testosterone.
Players were subject to blood testing for HGH during spring training last year, and Thursday's agreement between management and the players' association expands that throughout the season. Those are in addition to urine tests for other performance-enhancing drugs.
Under the changes to baseball's drug agreement, the World Anti-Doping Agency laboratory in Laval, Quebec, will keep records of each player, including his baseline ratio of testosterone to epitestosterone, and will conduct Carbon Isotope Ratio Mass Spectrometry (IRMS) tests of any urine specimens that "vary materially."
Also Thursday, owners approved the transfer of control of the Cleveland Indians to Paul Dolan, son of owner Larry Dolan.

Ok French…Great Price
Lately I've been in a Paris state of mind, so I decided to go to dinner at cozy french bistro near my house that I had been wanting to try. The menu looked good, and the tasting menu looked even better just $35 for 4 courses. The first course was a mushroom veloute with shredded chicken and parmesan croutons it was hearty and tasty. Then we had a tuna tartar ( lacked seasoning), seared scallops with butternut squash puree and finally a chocolate molten cake - now that was amazing. I have to say it was an OK meal, bread was very good, so for Ok french without hurting your pocket Le Comptoir may be the way to go.
Where: Le Comptoir What: Dinner / Tasting Menu $35 p/p

A different Japanese for me: 1 or 8
I have to thank my friend Jaume for recommending this divine place. Since we both live in Williamsburg we are always telling each other what we think of the new places that keep popping up every single day. Turns 1 or 8 is not new at all, but for me it has become a new way to eat Japanese cuisine. To be honest I haven't had regular sushi once. I went to dinner last Friday and I had one of the best tuna tartars in NYC, a great halibut in papillote, lobster and crab croquettes to die for and the duck two ways. Only on Sundays do they offer the "deconstructed" sushi: a big bowl of rice goodness with raw fish on top.
Where: 1 or 8 What: Dinner $55 p/p

In my days we didn't have these types of products. I purchased this item for my first granddaughter for when she visits. I was so impressed with the item in general, I couldn't believe this would hold a baby. As I put it together, which by the way was extremely easy. I really like the quality of the materials used. I look forward to seeing how long this will last us.
This is not the "flagship" of portable playards, but for the price and decor it serves its purpose well. It will hold up nicely for 1 child's frequent use.
I bought this and put it together myself in under 30 minutes. Very easy to use. Will update this review after I have the baby.

Unexpectedly, after migrating to Ubuntu I can't upload any thing via ADSL, also I can't send any comment in weblogs.
The odd point if I use proxy/ant-ifilter (as in Tor or FreeGate) I can upload normally!!
The upload is just my problem; Downloading files and opening pages are ok!
Also when I use GPRS (mobile internet) I don't have any problem!!!
There's not any problem in windows: both download and upload are ok, using ADSL line.
My Line: ADSL (send rate: 512 Kbit/s, receive rate: 2048 Kbit/s)
My Modem: D-Link 2520U
My installed operating systems are both Ubuntu 10.04 & 12.04.
I also checked "uploading" on 10.10, 12.04 and 12.10 in live mode => failed!
My browsers: firefox 17.0.1 and opera
What does upload mean in this case? Am I test a file to upload using ftp or trying to attach a file in gmail?
I can't comment on weblogs and forum in any case! (but using proxy it is ok)
I can't upload a file to uplod-center sites in any case!
I can upload to images.google.com but using proxy it works a few better!
I can open all web pages!
The below picture is the result of my attempt to attaching a file to AOL using Thunderbird.
BUT my try for gmail was successful! it seems there is not any problem with gmail services!!!
FTP: I could upload a txt file (10 KB), but in next attempts for uploading a bigger file (pdf: 2MB), I couldn't! (Using filezilla)
Result of ping 184.108.40.206 is here:

I installed "nload" and glance its output in terminal during uploading a file. the below picture was captured during upload-progress from nload output:
It shows that I have upload, but I didn't get the final link. firefox was showing me that is trying to upload and nothing. I also try to post here without proxy, nload showed me there is upload but my comment wasn't sent at last! It's weird!!!
What more information do you need around this problem?

Eugenia & Louisa
I (finally) watched Grey Gardens this week after three colleagues and one friend, independent of one another, highly recommended it.
"WASPS gone feral."
"I cannot believe you haven't seen it. You will love it."
I expected it to make me sad. To the mainstream mind the thought of two wealthy, privileged women abandoning society and disgracing their well-bred names to live in decadent squalor is sad. Disgusting, even. I didn't feel sad at all. I imagined all the curiosities waiting to be discovered (or not) in that 28 room estate guarded by overgrown trees and native flora. Their property is probably what East Hampton looked like before the cookie cutter houses and manicured lawns took over the neighborhood.
I appreciated their close, symbiotic mother/daughter relationship. Their candid banter, quarrels, solos and duets are charming. Quickly able to look past the soiled furniture and crumbling walls, I recognized a bit of myself and my own family members in the Beales. Some of their belongings are reminiscent of those my great-grandmother and grandmother kept in their Illinois farm homes. My predecessors held on to a lot of junk, albeit in a much tidier manner. Whether out of habit or sentimentality, they must have had their reasons for saving and I respect that; I carry on this legacy in my own way with my own junk.
It is difficult to not interject your perspective into a piece of documentation. I know this because I alter every photograph I take with my own sense of storytelling: framing a moment within the viewfinder, carefully selecting its arrangement, selfishly sharing only what I want the audience to see. I respect and admire the filmmakers Maysles for allowing mother and daughter to be portrayed as themselves, in turn allowing the audience to react as themselves. Their footage could have been manipulated to create a variety of conclusions regarding these two eccentric ladies. Instead, the brothers create elegant compositions of this rare setting and rely on their subjects to narrate their own story.

The funding can be used to hire or re-hire career law enforcement officers and Village Public Safety Officers as well as procure basic equipment and training to assist in the initiation or enhancement of Tribal community policing efforts. FY 2014 CTAS reflects improvements and refinements from earlier versions based on your feedback during Tribal consultations and listening sessions, from a specially developed assessment tool about the application experience, and from written comments from applicants and grantees.
Detailed information for FY 2014 CTAS can be found at www.justice.gov/tribal along with other helpful information and resources.
The COPS Office will continue to update our website and provide Tribes with information and resources that will help enhance the community policing efforts in Tribal Nations.

JASPER, TN (AP) - It seemed like a good idea at the time, but now trees planted around Jasper's courthouse square pose a problem.
According to the Chattanooga Times Free Press, city leaders are going to try trimming the Chinese ginkgo trees, rather than removing them.
Mayor Paul Evans looked extensively before finding a qualified trimmer who will reduce the bulk of the 30 trees for a $150 fee. Evans said the contractor is doing the city a favor.
Some merchants have said the trees need to be cut down, but the city will first try removing bottom branches to get the foliage above downtown merchants' windows.

The Chakana (or Inca Cross) symbolizes for Inca mythology what is known in other mythologies as the World Tree, Tree of Life and so on. The stepped cross is made up of an equal-armed cross indicating the cardinal points of the compass and a superimposed square. The square represents the other two levels of existence. The three levels of existence are Hana Pacha (the upper world inhabited by the superior gods), Kay Pacha, (the world of our everyday existence) and Ucu or Urin Pacha (the underworld inhabited by spirits of the dead, the ancestors, their overlords and various deities having close contact to the Earth plane). The hole through the centre of the cross is the Axis by means of which the shaman transits the cosmic vault to the other levels. It also represents Cuzco, the center of the Incan empire, and the Southern Cross constellation.
The cross has 12 points and legend has it that these points represent the following sayings, affirmations and life points
|The Underworld
|The Snake
|I Live
|Don't Lie
|The Current World
|The Puma
|I Work
|Don't Steal
|The Upper World
|The Condor
|I Love
|Don't be Lazy
The four flat sides represent the elements Water Air Earth Fire[citation needed]

Enticed by advertisements for the newly restored Marigold Hotel and bolstered with visions of a life of leisure, they arrive to find the palace a shell of its former self. Though the new environment is less luxurious than imagined, they are forever transformed by their shared experiences, discovering that life and love can begin again when you let go of the past.

"Visualizing Vertov" - a new experimental project by Lev Manovich with 33 visualizations is focusing on two famous movies, The Eleventh Year (1928) and Man with a Movie Camera (1929) by Vertov.
Image Above: All shots with close-ups of faces from The Eleventh Year (Dziga Vertov, 1928). The shots are arranged in the order of their apperance in the film, left to right, top to bottom. See the details of the analysis on Software Studies.
I am always amazed with the idea of analyzing all the data of a movie (shots, characters, images, editing, script, locations, etc.) With the advance of CPU technology and open coding culture, we started to see powerful analysis on movies, data visualizations focusing on large data sets of moving imagery. Soon enough we may see the analysis and visualization of all the oscar winning movies, all movies from hollywood, and so.
If you are interested in visualization about movies, tv shows you should check these two projects as well: Pie, comparison of films trough colour by Alan Woo and Lostalgic, visualiziton of some properties and patterns out of the entire lost script by Santiago Ortiz.

They are trying to get inside, trying to get out of the cold, like you and me.
21 million rats, mice and other rodents enter homes in the United States every winter, and they breed so fast that before you know it, you could have a genuine infestation on your hands.
"They are looking for food. They are looking for breeding spots," said David Pence of Allied Pest Control. "They are looking for anything that is warm. They will go underneath a house, they will go in an attic and between the walls."
Enter Chris Vernon, the host of the self-titled "Chris Vernon Show" on 92.9 ESPN. Vernon has been waging a war on vermin in his house as he discovered the home had roof rats earlier this year.
Vernon on vermin.
"Scratching, clawing, nibbling, you know, sounded like rustling around and then a lot of scratching and 'kee kee kee kee,'" Vernon said while making a digging motion.
Once you hear them inside the house, vermin can do a lot of damage, so you have to stop them.
"They like to chew on things," Pence said. "Being rodents, they will chew on anything, wiring especially, and it can cause fires. They will chew through sheetrock walls and go to the bathroom on everything."
"It's been a big pain because at first I thought my wife was hearing things, but then I realized the vermin were real," Vernon said. "I had to become an exterminator Tom Dees, and that is exactly what I have done."
In some cases you will have to call in an exterminator, in other cases you may be able to get rid of the vermin yourself.
"Well the baits work, they are very similar to what the pest control companies use," Pence said. "They use a brand that is flavored differently, and they know where to put the glue boards and snap traps. In some cases you put out two or three snap traps in a row and if they jump over one, they land on another."
"I have sent a message to all rodents, rats and general vermin, that the Vernon household is not to be accosted," Vernon said. "If you are going to enter this household, you will leave dead."
Vernon says the scratching and clawing have finally stopped in his house a few days ago. For now, he thinks he has ratted out the roof rats using big rat traps.
"This is the weapon of destruction Tom, and for anybody out there, this is Man vs. Beasts, and Man wins," a smiling Vernon said while holding up a large rat trap. "But you must have the courage to win, and in Man Vs. Beast, the stakes are high. This will be a nuisance to your life."

Laurie Spiegel (1945), a lute and banjo player by training, is a Chicago-born and New York-based composer of computer music who reacted to the futurism and dadaism of the early pioneers by developing an original aesthetic borrowed from folk music, creating relatively atmospheric and melodic music via arcane mathematical algorithms.
Kepler's Harmony of the Worlds, Spiegel's realization of Johannes kepler's book "Harmonices Mundi" was chosen for the opening track on the "Sounds of Earth" section of the golden record placed on board the Voyager spacecraft in 1977.

Cyclone is one of the tallest high-speed gravity rollercoasters in the Southern Hemisphere. It's 13 storeys and 1000 tonnes of high-speed, heart-thumping twists with a hair-raising 360-degree loop and screaming sidewinder.
Tower of Terror 2
Think White-Knuckle, Face-Lifting, Breath-Taking Speed ... and you're half way there! The Tower of Terror is one of the fastest rides in the world. The Tower's electro-magnetically powered 'Escape Pod' accelerates its passengers to a massive 160 kph in seven seconds before it climbs to almost 38 storeys high. Then there's the tummy losing free-fall back to earth before hurtling into to the safety of the station.
The Wipeout is framed by a giant crashing wave, shipwreck, palms, sand, shark and ocean which, sets the scene for the turbulent ride ahead. It is the mother of all tidal waves and you're strapped in the middle without a life line.
Giant Drop
The Giant Drop is the tallest free-falling ride in the world according to the Guiness Book of World Records.
Within seconds you're plummeting 120 meters at terminal speed. It's the closest thing to sky diving, well almost!
Mick Doohan's Motocoaster
Mick Doohan's Motocoaster is a motorbike rollercoaster, the first of its kind in Australia. The life-size 500cc motorbikes launch from the starting line in excess of 20 metres per second and reach speeds of just over 72 km per hour. The 605 metre, tight track is made up of 18 banks, bends and turns with plenty of open throttle. Experience the rush of motorbike racing on the maddest track in the county, only at Dreamworld.
WhiteWater World Rides:
The Wedgie
Plummet feet first down the translucent pipe and barrel through Australia's only human half coil. At the splash down pool the Aussie Cossie braking system kicks in and the fast tug on cheeks gives "rise" to the slide's bold name!
The Bro
Ride on specially designed sled mats and go head first into a maze of thrilling twists and turns reaching speeds of around 50 kilometres per hour. This innovative ride turns friend into foe as riders go head to head on a competitive, high speed race to glory.
The Green Room
Riders are thrown into the upper hemisphere, off back-to-back "vertical" banks before a needle-nose splashdown that will give the most hardened of thrill seekers the chills.
The Rip
Launch from the 16 metre tower into 12 metres of pitch black terror before blasting into a massive bowl of WhiteWater's best. After the massive whirlpool of high speed revolutions, riders are sucked into the corkscrew core, blasted through a huge curtain of water to experience a momentary weightlessness before launching into the plunge pool below.
