Television's 15 Most Famous Dogs8
By Jojo Balogh
Television's 15 Most Famous Dogs
My best friend Eden can be such a bitch. I mean, I love her and all, but we often want to do different things at the same time. She wants to go for long walks in the park stopping frequently for bathroom breaks. I want to curl up with a good book or catch up on hours of DVR'ed reality television. She's also a mooch. I have to share nearly everything I eat with her, but she never reciprocates. One thing for certain, she's the most loyal friend I've ever had… unconditional love in its purest form: my dog.
We have become a pet-obsessed nation, with more than 73 million of us having canine companions. With the average marriage lasting only three and a half years, our dogs are some of the longest relationships we have – often outlasting marriages. Back in the 1950's and 60's, the family pet was often kept outdoors and treated like, well, an animal. Today 42% of them share our beds. We put them on special diets and clothe them, spending exorbitant amounts of money on their well-being. We have doggy day care lest they be lonely, dog hotels, dog therapists. Scholars and scientists alike have done studies on why we love our dogs. No deep psychological conclusions here. The consensus seems to be that we love them simply because they love us back.
Another reason we love our dogs is that they can provide us with countless hours of entertainment. Search for "funny dog videos" on YouTube and 711,000 results appear. I have cried watching clips of dogs reactions to their masters returning home from war. I have laughed watching them skateboard and surf. Since the days of early television, dogs have become stars with huge followings, sometimes stealing the show from their human counterparts. Here we pay homage to what are arguably the biggest of those stars, starting with the pioneers.
1. Lassie – Lassie
Lassie first appeared in a 1943 novel, Lassie Come Home. Though the character of Lassie was a female Collie, she was always played by male dogs descending from the original "Pal." Rudd Weatherwax, Pal's longtime trainer, trademarked the Lassie name from MGM studios, and reigned over the empire that included radio, television, film, toys, comic books. Lassie ran in various forms until 1974 with 600 episodes being produced. The two most memorable incarnations both featured young boys as Lassie's master, both living on farms. The first was Jeff, played by Tommy Rettig. Then in 1957 in a special transition episode, Lassie was passed from the Miller family to the Martins. Jon Provost played Timmy Martin. Cloris Leachman was his mother, Ruth, during 1957. June Lockhart then took over as Ruth for the duration of the Lassie/Timmy years. In both, the super smart canine always outwitted the humans, sensing danger and helping both her masters and others out of many a scrape. To this day, many of us still think of Lassie and hear the distinct, almost haunting whistling of the show's theme song when seeing a collie.
2. Rin Tin Tin – Rin Tin TIn
The Adventures of Rin Tin Tin and Lassie both came to network television in 1954, and in both, the dog was the main hero. In both programs a boy was the dog's best friend and vice versa. Rin Tin Tin was a German Shepherd, and Lassie was a Long-Haired (Rough) Collie.
The original Rin Tin Tin was rescued by an American serviceman from a bombed out kennel at the end of World War I, entering show business upon returning to the U.S. His first appearance was in a 1922 silent film, The Man from Hell's River. All subsequent dogs who played the part were direct descendants of the original. By the time he came to television, Rin Tin Tin (aka Rinty) already had an illustrious career in radio and film. The stories followed Rusty, a boy orphaned in a massacre and raised by soldiers, and Rinty, as they established order in the Old West in a series of action packed adventures, with the steadfast dog always saving the day. ABC ran 166 black and white episodes between 1954 and 1959.
3. Petey – The Little Rascals
Our Gang was a series of comedy short films produced by Hal Roach about the adventures of a group of poor, depression era children and their dog Petey. 220 short films were eventually produced featuring over 41 child actors. In 1955, 80 of the shorts were syndicated for television as The Little Rascals. Pete the Pup, otherwise known as "Pete, the Dog With the Ring Around His Eye," or simply "Petey," was famous for having a circled eye that was added by Hollywood make-up artist Max Factor. The original Pete, an American Pit Bull Terrier named Pal the Wonder Dog, had a natural ring almost completely around his eye; dye was used to finish it off. When he was recruited to appear in the Our Gang series, the director left the eye as it was, creating one of the most recognizable dogs in history, and Pete became as famous as the kids in the gang. Even though it was lauded for its more "natural" use of children as actors rather than precocious little adults, The Little Rascals eventually came under fire for what is now perceived as racial stereotypes. We miss you, Spanky, Alfalfa and Buckwheat!
4. Spuds MacKenzie – The Bud Light Dog
While he shares a ringed eye and related breed with Petey, the similarities end there.
Spuds may have been the hippest dog to ever grace the small screen. Better known as "the original party dog," Spuds Mackenzie made his debut during a 1987 Super Bowl commercial and became hugely popular almost as fast as you can say "This Spud's for you!" Nearly every time you turned on your TV, there was Spuds enjoying some event or activity, always surrounded by a bevy of beauties. Instantly recognizable, he was so popular that his image was everywhere from t-shirts to posters, stuffed animals to mugs. But as is the nature of fame, there was scandal in Spuds' life too – turns out Spuds' real name was Honey Tree Evil. Female. Bitch. Forced into retirement.
She died in 1993. We'll always remember her for having taught us all about the real meaning of being a party animal! RIP, Spuds.

5. Gidget – The Taco Bell Chihuahua
Never fear, Spuds. Your life was not in vain. You paved the way for future stars like Gidget. Long associated with Mexico, what better breed to represent a Mexican fast food joint than a chihuahua? First appearing in Taco Bell commercial ads in 1997, Gidget had a voice using special effects and a voice actor named Carlos Alazraqui. Sometimes dressed as a Mexican revolutionary or a bandito in a sombrero, the pup was known for the catchphrase "Yo Quiero Taco Bell," or I want Taco Bell. Like his predecessor, Spuds, the Taco Bell chihuahua became a pop culture icon, featured on shirts and other marketing tools such as stuffed animals. Eventually, Hispanic advocacy groups lobbied for an end to the ad campaign that some saw as a cultural stereotype. Gidget's death from a stroke in 2009 was almost as highly publicized as her character was. Buenas noches pequeño perro.

6. Snoopy – Peanuts
With his alter egos as a novelist, World War I flying ace, and all-around Joe Cool, Snoopy is the most identifiable cartoon character in the world. Snoopy loves root beer and pizza, hates coconut candy, gets claustrophobia in tall weeds, and is deathly afraid of icicles dangling over his doghouse. One of his hobbies is reading Leo Tolstoy's epic novel, War and Peace, at the rate of "a word a day."
As drawn by Charles Schulz, the Beagle belonging to Charlie Brown first appeared in the Peanuts comic strip in 1950 but didn't appear on television until 1965 in the first Peanut's gang special, A Charlie Brown Christmas. This special is the longest running animated cartoon special in TV history – having been repeated every year since its first, and winning a Peabody Award and an Emmy for outstanding children's programming. It was directed by Bill Melendez, who still supplies the voice of Snoopy. In addition to the thirty-plus animated specials, The Charlie Brown and Snoopy Show, a Saturday-morning TV series, which debuted on CBS in 1983, lasted for three seasons.
More than just a cartoon character, Snoopy has become a cultural icon. In 1990, the "Snoopy in Fashion" exhibit opened at the Louvre in Paris and in 1992 the "Snoopy, The Masterpiece" exhibit opened at the Montreal Museum of Fine Art. Insurer MetLife has used Snoopy as its worldwide symbol since 1985, and the Peanut's licensed merchandising unit has annual sales of more than two billion dollars, making Snoopy's Joe very cool, indeed.

7. Astro –The Jetson's
8. Scooby-Doo – Scooby Doo
Anyone know why these two are grouped together? Both are Great Danes; but did you know they were voiced by the same actor? Did you ever notice that Scooby's characteristic speech patterns bear a striking resemblance to those of Astro?
The Jetsons were the space-age answer to the prehistoric Flintstones. The original 24 episodes aired on ABC on Sunday nights between 1962-63. It was the first program ever to be broadcast in color on that network. Astro was the pooch pal of the family's dad, George, a loving but often befuddled father and husband. As Astro begins every word with the consonant "R," he became famous for his affectionate catchphrase, "Ri Ruv Roo, Reorge!" A running joke at the end of each of the early episodes shows George walking Astro on a treadmill-like automatic dog walker. Astro chases a cat, causing George to let go of the leash and run uncontrollably while yelling his most famous line to the family matriarch Jane, "Stop this crazy thing!!!"
There have been several animated series starring Astro's doppelganger, Scooby, beginning in 1969 with Scooby-Doo, Where Are You? Scoobert (his real name) "Scooby"-Doo. His misfit gang of characters came together every episode to solve spooky mysteries. Scooby and his master, and best friend, Shaggy, share several traits, particularly cowardice and perpetual munchies. Much has been written suggesting they're stoners, and quite frankly, nobody seems to know what they do in the back of that van they travel in.
There have been spinoffs, reruns and revivals, and Scooby-Doo still maintains a significant fan base. TV Guide ranked Scooby and his gang 22nd on their list of the 50 Greatest Cartoon Characters of All Time. Me? Team Astro, definitely.
9. Buck – Married With Children
While I'm sure many more of you watched MWC for the Bundy family's semi-slutty daughter Kelly, played by Christina Applegate, Buck was a canine comic tour de force in his own right. Married with Children, a domestic comedy about a dysfunctional marriage and family, featured a shaggy Briard Sheep dog whose real name was Mike.
In the opening credits of each episode, the family, including Buck, lined up with open palms waiting for a cash infusion from patriarch Al Bundy, the former high school football star turned shoe salesman. In several episodes, we hear the Bundy's wisecracking dog's insulting thoughts about his family. The series ran for eleven years on Fox, with Buck retiring after nine years of service. The series killed him off, and Buck was reincarnated in the form of a Cocker Spaniel named Lucky who ends up back in the Bundy household. His last episode ended with the following on-screen message: "Dedicated to Buck the Dog who with this episode begins a well earned retirement and hopefully a nice gig as stud. We'll miss you, Buddy. Lift a leg. – The Producers."

10. / 11. Meaty and Beefy – Rob and Big / Rob Dyrdek's Fantasy Factory
Rob Dyrdek, the pro-skateboarder who has become a self-promoting marketer to rival Madonna, can also be called a reality TV star, a filmmaker, an entrepreneur and a philanthropist. He is also an animal lover, owning two English bulldogs, Meaty and Beefy who he features prominently in his two MTV series, Rob Dyrdek's Fantasy Factory, and his previous show, Rob and Big. Meaty is a male, and a skateboarding star in his own right, while Beefy is a female. Both came from the same California breeder. Not that Rob's series need it, but the scene-stealing pups add comic relief to every scene they are in!

12. Eddie – Frasier
When you hear the term "veteran actor," it is most likely NOT a dog that comes to mind; but Moose and his son Enzo, who both played Eddie on the long running hit sitcom Frasier, fit the bill perfectly. The Jack Russell Terriers also played the title character in the film, My Dog Skip.
Moose started life in Florida as a terror of a terrier that couldn't be housebroken and that chewed and barked a lot. His owner gave the puppy to the manager of a company that trained animals for TV and film roles and, as they say in Hollywood, the rest is history. Frasier, the enormously popular show that lasted eleven seasons on NBC, introduced Eddie Crane as the pet of Frasier's father Martin, a retired cop coming to live with his son, a Seattle psychiatrist and intellectual bon vivant. Moose was a fine actor with the ability to fix a long hard stare on the title character, and that became a running sight gag. During the height of Frasier's popularity, Moose received more fan mail than any of his human counterparts. As it became apparent that the highly rated show was going to have a long run, Moose's owners started the breeding process in hopes of siring a similar offspring. They hit the jackpot with Enzo, who took over the role from his aging father eight years into the series. Moose spent the last six years of his life in retirement before dying of natural causes in 2006. Enzo joined his dad in doggy heaven in July of this year.

13. Triumph The Insult Comic Dog – Late Night with Conan O'Brien
If Miss Piggy and Lamb Chop can be considered animal actors, than so can Triumph. This puppet is definitely not for the kids, being best known for his juvenile, often scatological humor, most of which won't be repeated here. Robert Smigel, the comedian who is the hand behind the sock, was best known as a writer for Saturday Night Live. Often smoking a cigar, Triumph debuted in 1997 on Late Night With Conan O'Brien, and appeared regularly there.
Triumph has appeared in Las Vegas, the 2007 Tony Awards, on Hollywood Squares and Comedy Central as well as many others programs. One year, he appeared on the MTV Video Music Awards, and in an exchange with Jennifer Lopez asked her for permission to sniff her butt, because, "for a dog it's like climbing Mt. Everest." The exchange was cut from future rebroadcasts. Triumph has his own website, a DVD, and a 2003 album.

14. Duke – Bush's Baked Beans Commercials
Bush's Original Baked Beans is just one of the products that Bush Brother and Company sell, but it is the only one associated with Duke, the golden retriever who stars in the clever commercials. Bush's bean products have become the nation's number one selling baked bean brand, in no small part due to the ads, which feature company spokesman Jay Bush and Duke, who offers to sell the closely guarded, secret family recipe. While Jay really does have a family pet with that name, they hired a professionally trained dog to portray Duke in the spots. Duke's catchphrase? "Roll that beautiful bean footage!"

15. Brian Griffin – Family Guy
Brian Griffin is by far the hippest, wittiest and most urbane dog on this list, and dare I say, my favorite. Voiced by series creator Seth McFarlane, Brian is an 8-year-old talking white (mystery breed) dog who has lived with the Griffin family since Peter picked him up as a stray after being abandoned by his mother. He is vastly more intelligent than his best friend, Family Guy's Peter Griffin.
He loves opera and jazz, speaks French and Spanish, is a member of Mensa who used to write for The New Yorker, and is working on a novel. He is also a smoker, an alcoholic who used to have a cocaine addiction stemming from his abandonment issues, for which he was in therapy. Brian is attracted to human women and is in love with the family gal, Peter's wife Lois. Brian is better fleshed out than most human characters. He delivers some of the show's classic lines like, "Hey Bartender, who do I have to hump to get a dry martini around here?" How can you not love that?
Watch BRIAN GRIFFIN sing a TV Medley
Yes, we all love our dogs, including many TV entertainers who avidly support canine causes. Among them are Betty White, Biggest Loser trainer Bob Harper, and Bob Barker who famously signed off every episode of The Price is Right by saying, "Help control the pet population. Have your pet spayed or neutered." Ellen Degeneres has long been an advocate on behalf of animals and is a staunch supporter of organizations such as The Humane Society, and the ASPCA. There are millions of dogs in rescue shelters, with no aspirations of TV fame, simply waiting for the opportunity to do one thing… love you. If you or someone you know is thinking about adding a pet to the family, please consider a rescue!
Jojo Balogh is something of a pop culture legend in her own mind, and those of her friends. She was number one on their lists of people to use as phone-a-friends on Who Wants To Be A Millionaire. In addition to her now defunct personal blog, she also wrote training materials for recruiters and headhunters, as well as love letters, and emails to school teachers and administrators regarding her teenage son in an effort to encourage them not to charge him with truancy.

After losing to the Miami Heat last year in the Eastern Conference Finals, Paul Pierce actually thought about leaving the only team that he's ever known. There were a lot of uncertainties heading into the offseason, such as the status of Ray Allen and whether or not Kevin Garnett would retire. Therefore, Pierce couldn't help but wonder if Danny Ainge was going to blow up the team or not.
"It was difficult not only losing, but not understanding what was next," Pierce said. "A lot of that went in my head after we lost. It was like is (Kevin Garnett) gonna retire? Are we gonna rebuild? Am I gonna be playing somewhere else? A lot of things went through my head….It really did cross my mind," Pierce said. "The way last year went with the trade rumors, the possibility of me being traded the possibility of us rebuilding, it was hard not to think about it, sometimes it wears on you mentally because you can't know what your future is gonna be or what's gonna be your next step."
Pierce, however, is not going anywhere. Despite, the departure of Ray Allen, Kevin Garnett signed a new contract for three years and the Celtics added veterans Jason Terry and Courtney Lee to replace Ray at the 2 spot.
With the new additions, Pierce believes that the Celtics are still contenders, which also means that he isn't going anywhere any time soon. In fact, he hopes to settle down in Boston even after he retires a Celtic.
"I was telling somebody the other day I'm pretty much institutionalized [in Boston]," Pierce said. "If I went somewhere else I couldn't see it. Hopefully I can be here a lot longer than even my playing days. Just to help along with coaching and management, I've really given some thought to that, giving back to what the game has given to me. And I hope I can continue to do that in Boston."

So not too long ago someone asked me who was my favorite Batman vs. Superman. I lean towards Superman but not enough to say he's a definitive favorite, and I couldn't really answer why.
So with the news on how the Superman movie is getting all fucked up. I put more thought into why I can't choose between Batman and Superman.
I finally have an answer, Batman is who I am. He's angry, brooding, and almost merciless. He has a deep love for his city, but yet he hates it. He's materialistic (80% of the time he could get away with a baseball bat and a Toyota instead of all of his gadgets). He's rebellious and often gets in trouble with authority figures.
Batman is constantly trying to get a moment back that will never ever come back, and instead of carrying on with his life he reacts and tries to go for something that he would call justice.
That's me, I'm Batman without all the punching.
Superman is the person I want to be. Selfless, good, and kind. He helps people for the sake of helping people. He finds a way to work with everyone and is an example for something to strive for.
Superman is hope. He is a savior, and a true protector.
So that's my answer.

Harrison Ford
It is hard to believe that the man who would become Han Solo, Indiana Jones, Jack Ryan and Blade Runner was targeted by bullies as a child and was a member of a model train club. After graduating in 1960, Harrison Ford studied English and philosophy at Ripon College in Wisconsin, which is where he fell in love with acting, but failed to complete his courses. He moved to Hollywood in the mid-'60s and became a contract player at Columbia and Universal. His 1966 film debut, "Dead Heat on a Merry-Go-Round," prompted one executive to tell him that he'd never make it in the business. Frustrated, he became a carpenter, which put him in George Lucas' path. Lucas gave him an "American Graffiti" gig in 1973 and then his iconic "Star Wars" part in 1977. Indy furthered his rise as one of the most reliable and bankable names of the '80s and '90s. He tackled drama, action and romantic comedies like "The Mosquito Coast," "Working Girl," "Witness" (which earned him an Oscar nod), "Air Force One," "The Fugitive" and "What Lies Beneath." He married college sweetie wife Mary Marquardt (1964-1979) and they have two sons. He had two children with his second wife, screenwriter Melissa Mathison. They were married in 1983 and separated in 2001 although the divorce was not finalized until 2004. He had already moved on with Calista Flockhart in 2002 and she became wife no. 3 in 2010.

What You're Really Doing in Bed
You Tell Us.... When are you most likely to be in the mood?
"I'm most likely to be in the mood after having a relaxing time, such as a night out. I'm also more likely when it's not late at night. I get worried about not getting enough sleep and don't feel like using that valuable time for sex!" -- Kim, 32
"When my hubby and I share special time together -- watching a movie, walking while holding hands, just a complete connection with lots of affection." -- Janice, 48
"I am a very visual person, so any time I see something that reminds me of sex -- sometimes it's something as simple as a picture of a good-looking man -- I'm in the mood right away. There is also certain music that will put me in the mood quickly." -- Chris, 45
"Any time I see my husband as the individual he is. Sometimes I think we forget that we are each separate people. When I see him lost in conversation, entertaining, and just being himself, I want to drag him into the bedroom." -- Kellie, 34
"Being outside enjoying nature makes me feel especially close to my husband, and that closeness needs a venue for expression." -- Janie, 49
"I like to have sex after a busy, productive day at work. It's a great stress releaser and an excellent way to unwind." -- Holly, 44
Something to brag about:
43% of you think your sex life is better than average. Only 17% say it's worse than average.
Men Answer Your Secret Sex Question: Do you care how great the sex is, or are you just happy you're having sex?
The men we asked were pretty evenly divided on this question -- after all, quality and quantity both have their benefits. One guy summed it up well: "When you're married, you already have that strong sexual connection with someone, so sex is guaranteed to be good. Quantity -- maintaining and keeping that connection -- becomes more important." -- Todd, 36
You Tell Us.... How has being married affected your sex life?
"Being married is great, but it does set up some bad habits. Sex can become mechanical. You tend to get too comfortable. The romance sometimes heads south. My husband tends to focus only on two areas -- Honk! Honk! here and Rub! Rub! there." -- Michelle, 34
"Marriage has only made my sex life better. I feel so safe and comfortable with him that it makes it easier for me to experiment and try more things." -- Kellie, 34
"I have much more sex now than when I was single -- and more orgasms! Especially since I turned 40, they have gotten so much longer and more intense." -- Holly, 44
"It takes more work sometimes to keep it hot, but in the end it's worth it not to have to worry about the who, what, where, when, and why of dating. And most of all, to know that I'm cherished and that we're in it together for the long haul." -- Julie, 39

DURANT, OK---You've probably wondered what's going on with all the construction just north of Choctaw Casino. Michelle Gillespie reports.
It's a $30 million project eight years in the making a new Highway 70 bypass that will circle around the southern part of Durant.
The hope: to make the fastest growing rural city in Oklahoma a bit larger and more efficient.
"We're the fastest growing rural community in Oklahoma," says Tommy Kramer, Director of the Economic Development for Durant.
Durant's population has grown more than 10 percent over the past eight years.
"As your city grows, your traffic grows," says Kramer.
And that's the idea behind the new $30 million Highway 70 bypass. The plan: to build the bypass beginning at Highway 70 on the east side of Durant, circle around the south part of the city, just north of the Choctaw Casino, run over Highway 69/75 and connect back up to Highway 70 on the west side of the city.
An O-DOT financed project designed to keep semi-trucks and agricultural vehicles off of Durant's Main Street.
"It will free up parking places, less traffic of non-shoppers and it's going to make our business district in Durant more business-friendly," says Kramer.
The Highway 70 bypass will provide a quicker route around Durant but still give a considerable amount of access to the downtown area.
"What really makes it an asset is the ability to get off in several different locations to come into Durant," says Durant City Manager Jim Dunegan.
And Durant city officials hope that one day, their city will grow and stretch all the way out to the new bypass.
"It frees up areas that are virgin agricultural land and we'll be able to use that land for industrial parks, commercial development like retail shops, all for the future expansion of our city," says Kramer.
Durant City Manager Jim Dunegan says he expects the Highway 70 bypass project to be completed within the next three to four years.

Heyyy long time no serious journal. w/e
How's it going?
I wanted to give you a little update concerning UTAU.
Lately I've been recording a lot of new voicebanks for my bbies.
> Alice has a new Decent CV which you can hear in my UST WIP for Shuiro no Sunahama: soundcloud.com/otasatic/shuuir… or in Daydream: soundcloud.com/otasatic/daydre…
> She also has a new VCV lite:
> I recorded a new VCV and a Korean extend for Naoki, but I haven't finished oto'ing let alone any demos yet.
> I finally got around to making a voicebank for Noriko! I made a Bipitch CV, but that voicebank is pretty unsteady, so I made a VCV lite (with lots of extra samples) and I'm pretty proud of that one. You can hear her Engrish in DEFINE ME: soundcloud.com/otasatic/toumei… and usual Japanese in Tengoku e Ikou: soundcloud.com/otasatic/toumei…
> And Yomi... I don't really know what to do for her. I hope I can make a decent voicebank for her someday, but I'd need some time to test out some things, I think my voice is slowly reaching its limits with a male UTAU, a low-voiced female UTAU and a high-voiced female UTAU. I want to give her a voice which is in-between, but I don't know whether she would still sound unique. I definitely want to give her a new voicebank considering her ACT2.2 was made in February 2013.
Anyway, I think that's about it for the voicebanks.
As I mentioned above, I'm currently making two USTs - Shuiro no Sunahama and Daydream. I still need the harmonies for Shuiro no Sunahama and Daydream and I have to revise the tuning. Bubut I can't be bothered to HAHA
However, I think that's it.

Detective Alex Cross is being stalked by a psychotic genius, forced to play the deadliest game of his career. Cross's family—his loving wife Bree, the wise and lively Nana Mama, and his precious children—have been ripped away. Terrified and desperate, Cross must give this mad man what he wants if he has any chance of saving the most important people in his life. The stakes have never been higher: What will Cross sacrifice to save the ones he loves?
Widely praised by the greatest crime and thriller writers of our time, Cross My Heart set a jaw-dropping story in motion. Hope to Die propels Alex Cross's greatest challenge to its astonishing finish, proving why Jeffery Deaver says "nobody does it better" than James Patterson.
Part One | SIXTEEN DAYS EARLIER...
Chapter 9
AT SEVEN FORTY-FIVE the next morning, Marcus Sunday strode confidently through the lobby of the Four Seasons in Georgetown, knowing full well that no one would ever recognize him in this outrageous getup.
On another man it might have been thought a clown's outfit: purple high-top sneakers, orange shirt and pants, ice-blue contact lenses, two nose rings, and a flaming-red Abe Lincoln beard with matching eyebrows and a matching wig that stood four inches straight up over his head. But Sunday knew that the disguise exuded a certain, well, charismatic threat, especially in a place like this, as if he were some sort of psycho Carrot Top or worse.
Indeed, the maître d' looked mightily upset when Sunday went to the stack on a table and grabbed a copy of the Washington Post that featured a story on the death of Mad Man Francones and three others at a local massage parlor, then approached his station, saying in a nasal, whiny tone: "Table for one."
The maître d' tried to look down his nose at Sunday, said, "And do you have a reservation with us, sir?"
"Guest of the hotel," Sunday said. "Room 1450."
Room 1450 was a thousand-dollar-a-night suite. The maître d's attitude shifted measurably, but he still eyed the writer's attire. "Mr. . . . ?"
"Mulch," Sunday replied. "Thierry Mulch. Like the composted stuff."
"Oh," the maître d' said as if he'd just tasted something unpleasant, and snatched up a menu. "Please follow me, Mr. Mulch."
Inside the dining room, the air seemed at a different barometric pressure, as if some vast low had descended over the place. And it bore a smell beyond rueful bacon, sausage, and coffee that Sunday recognized as the rot of power.
Corpulent stuffed shirts with five-hundred-dollar haircuts were wall-eyeing the writer almost immediately. A brassy blond cougar in a brick-red Chanel suit looked up as he passed. Sunday winked her way, licked his upper lip with feline hunger, and almost laughed when her cheeks ignited.
He kept walking, flashing on the mystery that was Acadia Le Duc, and the indescribable fun and desires they would share in just a few short —
"Mr. Mulch?" the maître d' said, breaking into his thoughts with a stiff gesture to a table tucked in the corner by the kitchen doors.
"Why don't you stick me in the john?" Sunday asked in that nasal, whiny voice, then pointed over near the windows. "I'd like to sit there."
The maître d' went stone-faced but nodded and led the writer to a table where almost everyone in the place could see him.
"Thanks," Sunday said loudly. "More like it."
He looked around at the various dignitaries, politicians, lobbyists, and the like, many of whom were either glancing at him or staring openly. The writer gave several of them the thumbs-up. They looked like they'd just felt a tick crawling up their spine.
Brilliant entertainment, he thought, and then analyzed the forces at play.
These sorts of ridiculous people believed in decorum, tact, and manners. Sunday had found that when you brushed up hard against their rules of accepted behavior, you created agitation. And agitation, as far as he was concerned, was a good thing, a very good thing —what he lived for, as a matter of fact.
But when a waiter came over to pour coffee and take his order, Sunday behaved himself. He was hungry and had a busy day ahead.
"The frittata, the lemon and ricotta pancakes, and a large fresh-squeezed OJ," he said.
"Bacon?" the waiter asked.
Sunday made a face as if he might be ill, said, "No, never again."
When the waiter left, the writer read the story about the Francones murder with great interest, especially the fact that Alex Cross had been assigned to the case. Well, who else, right?
Rather than getting truly pissed off, however, Sunday refocused on the task at hand. Make a scene, he thought.
Looking around again, the writer noticed that a nerdy man in a Brooks Brothers suit that screamed professional boor had taken a seat at the table to his left. The boor was studying his iPhone intently. Sunday recognized him as a syndicated political pundit and mainstay of the morning talk shows, a pasty-faced guy in a bow tie who never used a single-syllable word when a six-syllable one would do.
Perfect target, the writer realized, and began to enjoy himself. Serendipity, that was what it was. Chance fortune.
"Porn?" Sunday called over to the pundit.
The chattering head looked up, confused.
The writer gestured at the phone and observed in that nasal, whiny voice: "I figured you had to be watching something, like, really nasty to be that locked on."
"Hardly," the man shot back in a harsh whisper. "Have some couth."
"That one of the specials here?" Sunday asked, glancing down at his menu. "I must have missed that. Does couth come poached or fried?"
The pundit was studying his iPhone even more intently now.
"I know you," Sunday said. "You're a guy who's got an opinion on everything. So I want to know: Do you think Pooh was right?"
The pundit sighed, looked at the writer, said, "Pooh? As in the bear?"
"Or Ursus mellitus, as you might say," Sunday replied good-naturedly. "Now, I consider Pooh Bear to be one of the great thinkers of all time. Right up with Marcus Aurelius, Nietzsche, and Bob Dylan. Especially when it came to breakfast."
The pundit got exasperated. "What are you babbling about?"
Sunday acted offended, touched his fingers to his flaming-red hair.
"Babbling?" he said. "Thierry Mulch? Well, no more than you in your latest column. All I was doing was discussing Pooh Bear and his immortal disquisition with Piglet regarding breakfast.
"Don't you remember?" Sunday demanded angrily. "Pooh Bear thought breakfast was the most exciting part of the day. There's his thesis, my good man. Agree or disagree? No reason to say 'affirmative' or 'demonstrably false.' A simple yes or no will do."

Remember last month when Consequence and his girlfriend Jen The Pen did an interview with Power 105′s Breakfast Club and they went on a reckless rant exposing secrets and threatening everyone from Kanye West to the cast of their very own show, Love & Hip Hop New York? Well, whatever you say may come back and bite you and that's something that Consequence may have to deal with.
Joe Budden, Jen and Consequence were all at the Hot 97 studios for a taping of the Cipha Sounds and Rosenberg Morning Show when Joe felt the need to discuss Consequence's comments about him. Check out Consequence as he back tracks on what he said.
Guess Consequence realizes the consequences of his actions now!

NEW YORK (AP) -- Kristin Cavallari and her Chicago Bears quarterback husband Jay Cutler are one step closer to having their own football team. Cavallari is pregnant with their second baby. The 26-year-old former star of MTV's "Laguna Beach" and "The Hills" confirmed the news Wednesday on Twitter. She wrote: "We are so excited for Camden to be a big brother!" Camden is the couple's 14-month-old son. Cavallari and Cutler were married last June in Nashville, Tenn. The family splits their time between Nashville and Chicago.

Professional surfer Bethany Hamilton will portray herself in Alcon Entertainment's family feature, "Dolphin Tale 2."
Hamilton, the inspiration for the movie "Soul Surfer," was bitten by a 14-foot tiger shark at the age of 13 while surfing off Kauai's North Shore, leaving her with a severed left arm. She went on to recover, winning a national surfing title.
Morgan Freeman, Kris Kristofferson, Ashley Judd and Nathan Gamble.
Hamilton was portrayed by AnnaSophia Robb in "Soul Surfer."
Warner Bros. is releasing "Dolphin Tale 2" on Sept. 19, 2014. The sequel will tell another true story inspired by the life of Winter the Dolphin, involving a new baby dolphin named Hope who was rescued by the Clearwater Marine Aquarium in 2010.
Charles Martin Smith, who directed "Dolphin Tale," is helming the sequel from his own script.
"Dolphin Tale" generated a solid $72 million at the U.S. box office in 2011 through Warner Bros. and another $23 million overseas. The 3D film was produced by Alcon toppers Andrew Kosove and Broderick Johnson, with Alcon marketing prexy Richard Ingber, who brought the project to the company.
That script by Karen Janszen and Noam Dromi, with revisions by Smith and Jordan Roberts, was based on true events about Winter, a dolphin who lost her tail in a crab trap and an 11-year old boy who befriended her at the Clearwater Marine Aquarium. He rallied friends and family to save Winter and convinced a doctor to create a prosthetic attachment to restore the dolphin's ability to swim.
Winter, who has resided at the Clearwater facility since 2005, played herself in the movie.

Dear Parents / Carers,
I am writing to you following the recent Ofsted inspection which took place on 18th and 19th September. The report (attached) reflected a number of strengths of the school:
• The high priority given to improving the quality of teaching
• Teaching is now getting better all the time
• The behaviour of students is good. They have positive attitudes to learning and are keen to learn
• The Sixth Form is good. Students make good progress and student numbers are growing
The inspectors commented on the 'very large' number of parents / carers who responded to the online Ofsted 'Parent View' questionnaire (nearly 200). The results provided a number of highly positive messages including:
• 93% said their child was happy with the school
• 95% said their child feels safe at RPHS
• 90% would recommend the school to other families
• 86% felt that their children were making good progress
The inspection was conducted under a new, significantly tougher, framework introduced this September. The overall judgement was formed after considering the four areas of the inspection framework - Achievement, Teaching, Behaviour & Safety and Leadership. The overall judgement was comparable with our last inspection, grade 3, (Requires Improvement), however behaviour and safety was recognised to have improved significantly, and is now graded as Good (grade 2). We have much to be proud of with our students' positive attitudes towards learning and the manner in which they behave towards each other, and staff, being key highlights. We are also pleased that Ofsted judged our Sixth Form as 'Good', recognising the good progress our Key Stage 5 students make.
The inspectors agreed with our own evaluation that achievement is good in the sixth form and at KS3, but that it still requires improvement at KS4. Therefore the achievement judgement was graded as 3 (Requires Improvement). As many of you are aware, we have made a number of changes over the past two years and have established solid foundations which have led to significant improvements at KS3 and will lead to KS4 strong outcomes in 2014. The report clearly shows that the performance in core subjects such as Maths and Science continue to perform on or above the national average and that there has been considerable improvement in English where we have already embedded strategies to raise student attainment. It is reassuring that Ofsted have recognised these improvements and the successes of these strategies. We are confident that we can now develop and adapt these strategies further across all subject areas and that achievement at KS4 will improve significantly.
The inspectors commented on the high priority given to improving teaching and acknowledged that teaching is improving, however it was graded 3 (requires improvement) since KS4 outcomes need to improve further. This is a point we shared with families at our recent Parent and Carer evenings, and we are confident we will see significant improvements in Summer 2014.
'The curriculum has been reviewed and redesigned so that it meets students' needs well. So far, impact on achievement has been most keenly felt in the development of the sixth form, where progress is good – and in Key Stage 3, where standards are now rising. There is secure capacity for further improvement'.
We are delighted that Ofsted graded behaviour and safety as good (grade 2) recognising the students' positive attitudes towards learning and the manner in which they behave towards each other, and towards the staff. Over the last two years we have made a number of changes to the Pastoral Support provided for students, and improving behaviour has been a key priority.
'Students' behaviour is good because of their very positive attitudes to learning which have had an increasing impact on their progress. Students show high levels of confidence. They are courteous to each other and respect each other's opinions when answering questions in lessons. Movement around the school is calm and orderly. They show high levels for respect for staff.' (Ofsted 2013)
This report reflects the journey we are on as a school community. I personally have had the experience of leading a school from Requires Improvement (grade 3) to Outstanding (grade 1), The Ofsted report refers to our newly formed leadership team, recognising their commitment to improving our school in all aspects, and the progress made over the last two years. The leadership team and I are confident that the changes over the past two years have created the foundation to accelerate improvement and progress to 'Good' or better in all categories within the next 18 months and beyond.
'The headteacher has provided very strong and incisive leadership. The work of the committed senior leadership team is now beginning to bring about clear improvements in all aspects of the school's work. For example, robust action has been taken over the last two years to improve the overall quality of teaching.'(Ofsted 2013)
We will be publishing information to all parents before half term with details of key next steps we are taking within our action plan and priorities over the coming months. Members of the Senior Leadership Team and the Governing Body are available to discuss any aspect of the Ofsted report in more detail; please do not hesitate to contact my Personal Assistant Karen Thompson (firstname.lastname@example.com) to make an appointment. There will also be an opportunity for parents and carers to join our next Parent & Carer Forum on Wednesday 23rd October, where we will be discussing our future plans. All are welcome to join us between 6pm and 7.30pm.
Please be assured that we value your continued support. We are clear on what needs to be done, and we will continue to focus on creating a stimulating learning environment, providing high quality, personalised education which will support, challenge and inspire our students throughout their time with us.
Yours sincerely
Phillip Wheatley

This conversation is closed.
A request to tell a true Love Story
Have you ever loved someone so much, that it sometimes hurts physically just to think about them? Well, that is precisely how I feel about my wife Nancy.
This is my personal Love Song to my Wife, Nancy, whom I first met on January 6, 1962, proposed to 6 weeks later and subsequently married on May 5, 1962... thus defying all norms, but simply following our hearts.
When I recently renewed my wedding vows, I swore before the Judgment Seat of Almighty God "I, John, take thee Nancy to be my lawfully wedded wife, to have, to hold, to love, to cherish ... NOT until death do us part, BUT UNTIL FOREVER ENDS".
I pronounced this renewal at Nancy's funeral mass after 50 years and 7 months of marriage ... two sons and five grandchildren. My Nancy is buried in Section 66 of Arlington National Cemetery.
I've been doing a lot of thinking about Marriage lately ... and there is ABSOLUTELY NO DOUBT that Marriage is my favorite Sacrament because of my love for Nancy AND because I honestly believe that there is an intimate union between the Marriage Sacrament and God's head-over-heels, madly in-love affair with mankind.
I have so, so much more to add ... as a matter of fact, I even sent to both my U.S. Representative and my U.S. Senator a request to present my whole Love Story to Congress. As I expected, my request was turned down ... but I just want to use the biggest microphone to tell the whole world how much I love and will always love my Nancy.
But, for the moment, I will bow to the input from others.
Thanks for listening ...
John Love

Cluttered Gypsy
Ask me anything Add to my clutter...
.Kailey Nicole.
- the california gypsy -
Welcome to my 3 ring circus. A museum of my mind if you will...
i am a collector...of photographs, antique keys, animal bones, agates, apothocary jars, teapots, sea glass, shells, specimen jars, sugar skulls, voodoo dolls, antique silverware, sacred hearts, dried flowers...anything that catches my eye or tickles my pickle so to speak.
My perfect day would consist of a picnic under an oak tree and if I could photograph one thing for the rest of my life it would be mushrooms. I love drinking tea[& or hot chocolate] on cold gloomy days and autumn is my favorite time of year. Seaglass and sugar skulls are worth their weight in gold to me and I would take patina and rust over something shiny any day of the week. My dream is to live in an old victorian house on a small piece of land outside the city and for work I would love to open up my own little shop to sell my odds and ends. When I die I want to be buried under an oak tree so then what is left of me can live on for years through the tree. This is just a spec of what is me.
the images that you will find here i collect from all over. most of them i find while browsing on http://weheartit.com or http://vi.sualize.us/ and while each one strikes a cord within me i must say that they are not my own and i take no credit for them. despite the occasional photo of myself the rest are posted mearly for inspiration and to help tell the story of who i am and what makes me...well..me.

Nike has recently come up with a new campaign for the 2011 NCAA Basketball season called Campus Roar.
Through Nike's website, loyal college hoops fans can choose to "roar", in this case meaning write a slogan or cheer for their team, in hopes that their "roar" might end up being chosen to represent West Virginia University.
The top 16 teams with the most feedback will get one of their winning fan's "roars" printed on a official Nike T-shirt.
Currently West Virginia is ranked #8 with a total of 1,440 roars.
Check out former West Virginia Football standout Steve Slaton's "roar"here.
The contest will last through the month of December and hopefully, if WVU was to be in the top 16, the t-shirt would be available during college basketball's March Madness.
In the words of Nike, support your Mountaineers and RISE AND ROAR!

Remember how AT&T is killing their non-unlimited SMS plan? The big guess among the rumor mill is that this is a reaction to iMessage, Facebook, and other ways of sending free messages to all your clients and without AT&T's SMS service. It looks like another big service is getting in on the free text game, as Skype has just bought out GroupMe. We haven't heard a firm number on the price, but AllThingsD says $85 million and BetaBeat says more than $50 million. GroupMe discussed the buyout on their blog:
This has been a remarkable year for GroupMe, and we believe that this is a big win. And not just a big win for GroupMe and our amazing investors, but also for New York City. As part of the deal, GroupMe will remain in New York, team intact, working on our standalone application. The major difference will be that we will now have access to Skype's 175 million monthly connected users. 175 million people. That's a very big deal.
Key point: standalone application. So even though this will doubtless interface with Skype pretty heavily, there will still be a GroupMe app.
Now, if I could just get all of my friends on a single one of these services, I could ditch SMS completely!

Freakonomists get freaky on climate change
The authors of Freakonomics have a new book out. Perhaps the title, which echoes those of some memorably bad Hollywood sequels (not to mention an over-hyped 80s song), ought to be warning enough that the book offers too much of a good thing: SuperFreakonomics. The pressure was on to challenge common wisdom in all of […] [Read More]

Michael Jackson: Where There's a Will, There's a Way to Snub Your Dad
Sounds like Michael Jackson is giving his dad the royal screw-job from beyond the grave.
The Wall Street Journal reports that a will that the singer drafted in 2002—believed to be the most recent will for the singer, who died last Thursday at the age of 50—"isn't believed" to include his father, Joe Jackson.
Instead, the will is said to divide Jackson's estate between his mother Katherine, his three children, and one or more charities.
Though Jackson had financial troubles in recent years—and died with approximately $500 million in debt—it's estimated that his assets exceed his debt by as much as $200 million, and the massive sales of Jackson's music since his passing is likely to increase that amount.
L. Londell McMillan, a lawyer for Jackson's parents, tells the newspaper, "No will has been presented to family or us. We will review any will when we see it."
No doubt that there'll be some contesting to do if Joe Jackson was, indeed, left out of the document!
In the meantime, have your say in the comments section: Do you think it was right of Michael Jackson to leave his father out of his will?

The GOP isn't doomed. The GOP "leadership" is doomed. The Roves, the Kristols and Krauthammers, the bottom-dwelling Ginsbergs, and the moderate McCains and Romneys. There are two kinds of Americans: Workers, and Talkers. The Workers work, the Talkers talk. Sure, we hear more liberal ideology on TV news, but why? Because Workers work, and Talkers talk. Workers tend to lean right, and vote Republican. But when the GOP elites run a McCain or Romney, they're trying to sneak a Talker in on a Worker ballot. And Workers don't buy it, and won't vote for it, no matter how much Talkers talk.

I have an XP based machine and a couple of Kingston 16GB CF cards and I am wasting shedloads of money on card readers that simply won't read the cards ..... even though they claim to !
The only way I can download images is via the cameras which is slow.
Does anybody have a card reader that will definitely download 16GB cards to an XP machine or am I looking for the impossible ?

Is your HD (and the SD card) formatted to NTFS? If either is FAT32 the maximum file size is 4Gig. Sorry if you have already thought of this. I have found similar problems and only use smaller SD cards of 20 Gig (plenty for my photo needs.)

You could buy a few of these for very little money
If you read the reviews they may not be the most reliable devices but they are very low cost and as least one of the reviews stated they worked on an XP machine

This Is One Cool-Looking Dude.....Er Turtle
Though this turtle looks like it's ready to go partyyyyyyy, the green stuff growing out of its head is not dyed hair, but green algae. If that sounds unusual, its because you are looking at a Mary River Turtle, one of the most unique reptiles on Earth.
The turtle is named after the Mary River in Queensland, Australia , which is the only place in the world that it can be found. During the 1960's and 1970's the turtles were very popular as pets. However, over the years their numbers have dwindled, and they are now amongst the most endangered fresh water turtle species in Australia. The main reason for their decreasing numbers is that of the 100 eggs that are laid each year, some get eaten by dogs and cats, while others get trampled upon by the cows in the area.
The Mary River turtle is unusual in that it breathes through lung-like structures in its tail. It therefore does best in shallow waters. The turtle's small heads and big hind legs enable it to swim at great speeds. While younger turtles feed off insect larvae and freshwater sponges, adult turtles feed largely on aquatic plants.
The turtles hibernate during winter . On extremely rare occasions they are spotted basking in the sun near the river - which is why amateur photographer, Chris Van Wyk couldn't believe his luck last year, when he saw this rare turtle wading slowly in the river, providing him all sorts of opportunities to take pictures.
The turtle has been in the news a lot lately, because of a proposed dam across the Mary River. Conservationists are concerned that if the dam is built, it may hurt the few Mary River turtles that remain, and they may disappear altogether - which would be quite sad, wouldn't it?

KCH to Offer "Xtended Care" at Kane and Johsonburg Family Practices
Beginning the first Saturday in September, KCH Family Practices in Kane and Johnsonburg will offer "Xtended Clinic Care" on Saturdays from 9 a.m. until 12 noon for minor health issues at two clinic locations.
No appointments are necessary. "Xtended Care" is a walk-in service.
The two clinic sites are: Kane Family Practice located behind Kane Community Hospital on Route 6 and Johnsonburg Family Practice located at 81 Clarion Road in Johnsonburg.
The extended hours are intended to help families and individuals who have difficulty seeing a care provider during regular day and early evening hours. The Saturday morning option will increase choice and convenience to area residents.
While residents of the area can come to the KCH ER for any condition, any time (24/7), "Xtended Care" may be more convenient for families and at a lower cost than an urgent or emergency care visit
