The MMTTY Plug-in for WriteLog
Page 7 - MMTTY Plug-in Troubleshooting Guide
Updated 04/04/2013
It is important to remember that the MMTTY Plug-in for WriteLog comes in beta form. This means it may or may not work with your system. It is rare that the plug-in will not work if the stand-alone MMTTY program works. However, it's possible the plug-in could have problems with particular PC or sound card. In most cases, problems with the MMTTY plug-in can be corrected. It is extremely important that you have the full MMTTY program installed in its default location C:\Program Files\MMTTY\ and that you navigate to this directory the first time you activate MMTTY with the WriteLog Rttyrite window (thanks to Lloyd NX4W for pointing this out).
It is important that you get the stand-alone MMTTY program working correctly first before using the plug-in for WriteLog. If the stand-alone MMTTY program doesn't work, the plug-in will not work either. Once the stand-alone program is working, you can rest assured that any problems that appear when using the plug-in are associated with the plug-in and not with MMTTY itself. Problems listed here at associated with the plug-in.
Problems Installing the MMTTY Plug-in for WriteLog
The InstallShield Wizard is used when installing the MMTTY Plug-in for WriteLog. There are known issues with the InstallShield Wizard that could result in error messages and the inability for the program to be installed. If you have problems installing the Plug-In, refer to the following URL on the InstallShield website (thanks to Dean, N6DE, and Steve, W1SRD):
It is highly recommended that you reboot your
computer immediately after installing an upgrade to WriteLog. If you
perform a new installation of WriteLog or upgrade
to a newer version of WriteLog, then immediately try to install the MMTTY
plug-in, it may not install because the InstallShield Wizard leaves information
in memory which remains from previously installed programs. Since WriteLog
upgrades also use InstallShield, you need to clear your computer's memory by re-booting
before attempting to install any other program using InstallShield.
Mike, KH6ND, spent countless hours troubleshooting a problem with installing the plug-in. He determined the problem was caused by having McAfee VirusScan installed on his computers. Check out his excellent write-up on how to resolve this problem here.
MMTTYTNC Error message - Can't start MMTTY!
The plug-in cannot find the location of
mmtty.exe. If you are starting MMTTY for the first time from Rttyrite or the
path specified in your writelog.ini file is not the same as the actual location
of mmtty.exe, you will get this message. Just click on the OK button.
When you click OK, a window will open where you need to navigate to the location of mmtty.exe. If the MMTTY engine (mmtty.exe) was installed in its default location, the path will be C:\Program Files\MMTTY\.
It is possible that you may have installed the MMTTY program in a different location other than the default location C:\Program Files\Mmtty\. This is OK. If this is the case, by navigating to the correct location, the writelog.ini file will be updated to the correct location automatically.
Using EXTFSK or LPT Keying
If you use EXTFSK or LPT keying for FSK with the MMTTY stand-alone program, they will not work when using the MMTTY plug-in for WriteLog. As you will notice, there is no LPT option in the Ports menu of the Rttyrite screen. However, WriteLog does have the ability to emulate EXTFSK starting with version 10.58 using a feature called "Software generated FSK". For more information on WriteLog's "Software generated FSK" feature, see:
WriteLog.ini Problems
If you encounter errors while installing or running the MMTTY Plug-in you may have problems with entries in the writelog.ini file. Bring up the writelog.ini file using Notepad and check to make sure the paths are correct for your Datafiles and for the location of MMTTY. The procedure above should take care of the MMTTY location. Also check to make sure there are no double backslashes \\ where there should be single backslashes \.
MMTTY_LOCATION=C:\Program Files\MMTTY\
If you run MMTTY in a 2nd Rttyrite window, check that one also:
MMTTY_LOCATION=C:\Program Files\MMTTY\
The above locations are the default locations. If your locations are different, edit the above writelog.ini entries to reflect the correct paths. Also, if you run two Rttyrite windows and for some reason see the MMTTY_LOCATION entry shows under both [Rttyrite] and [Rttyrite2], that is OK. That only means that you can start MMTTY from either Rttyrite window and WriteLog already knows the path. If you use another TNC for either of the Rttyrite windows, the MMTTY_LOCATION entry will be ignored for that particular Rttyrite window. Thanks to Jon, K1US sk.
If the plug-in installed successfully, but you have problems running it with WriteLog, an easy way to start fresh to go into the writelog.ini file and delete everything under [Rttyrite] and [Rttyrite2], save the file and try again (note Rttyrite2 will only show up in the writelog.ini file if you opened two instances of Rttyrite at the same such as using SO2R with WinRTTY or cloned a Rttyrite window).
Please note that the entire MMTTY stand-alone program must be installed and that the Writelog.ini file must point to the correct location of MMTTY. You cannot just place the MMTTY engine in a folder and direct WriteLog to that folder. Do a full install of MMTTY.
Thanks to Keith, K7KAR, for the following information regarding correcting a problem with audio going to the sound card:
"MMTTY standalone worked fine, but when I got to the plug-in I
ran into a problem.
I had been using WriteLog on a single computer with two radios, although I only use one in contests. I was set up for Sound Board FSK. After installing the plug-in I set the TU type to MMTTY on one of the radios.
Problem: no audio to MMTTY. After a little head scratching and playing around I used Task Manager and saw WLSound.exe was running. That made me decide to set WriteLog to one radio only. Shut down WriteLog, rebooted and restarted WriteLog. No sound to MMTTY. Task Manager still shows WlSound.exe running. I killed it and MMTTY gets audio. After a little head scratching I opened writelog.ini and deleted [Rttyrite2] (also deleted the other ... 2 sections. Restart WriteLog and presto MMTTY works. It seems if you EVER had two radios and used Rttyrite on the (stereo) soundboard, WlSound.exe wants to play. I then added a second radio set to MMTTY and WlSound.exe didn't try to start (the second MMTTY doesn't work either unless I set it to the second sound card).
Bottom line seems to be if you have a two radio setup using the soundboard and Rttyrite (WinRTTY), and you want to try MMTTY, you should reset to one radio and clean [Rttyrite2] out of the .ini file before you try to use the MMTTY plug-in or you will face problems."
Thanks Keith!
Unable to select FSK in Setup
If you wish to key FSK directly to your radio and you go to the Misc tab in MMTTY Setup and the two FSK options are grayed out and unavailable, then you need to set your COM port under the Ports pull-down menu in Rttyrite first. Once you have set your COM port in Rttyrite, go back to MMTTY Setup and the two FSK options will then become available. If you get an error message when you try to set your COM port in Rttyrite, see below.
Rttyrite Error - Cannot open 'COMx"
Where "x" is the number of the COM port you are trying to select in the Port pull-down menu in Rttyrite. You will get this message if the COM port you are trying to select is already in use. To check to see if the COM port is already in use by WriteLog, go to the main WriteLog window and choose Ports... under the Setup pulldown menu. Check to see if the port is already specified by either CW, Rig or the Rotator control. If the COM port is in use by CW, then click on the circle all the way to the bottom of the CW column. This clears CW from all COM ports. Click on OK and the COM port will now be available for Rttyrite.
If you still get this error when trying to open the COM port in Rttyrite, check to make sure no other programs are running that is using that port.
MMTTY Settings Affecting Operation
There are a number of settings which affect the operation of MMTTY. One of the most important is the Priority setting on the Misc. tab in MMTTY Setup. Many operators have reported that MMTTY runs better with the Priority set to Higher or Highest.
Another common problem some experience is a delay between the time the radio is keyed and when the buffer message is sent. Some have reported delays as much as 1-2 seconds. The most common fix for this is to change the TX FIFO Setting on the Misc. Tab in MMTTY Setup.
Another cause of delay between PTT and when the buffer is sent has been attributed to having both software PTT and hardware PTT enabled at the same time. In other words, running PTT through Radio Control and also have PTT wired externally from a COM port interface to the radio (this one was found by Bill, W7TI).
Check the PTT timer too (open MMTTY stand alone program, look under Options menu). Set the timer to zero (not sure if this affects the plug-in or not but some say it does).
If you see characters added to the beginning or end of your transmissions in the Rttyrite screen, they aren't actually being transmitted. You can eliminate these characters by turning "Sound loopback" OFF. This option is located on the Misc tab in Setup.
It is highly recommended that you refer to the MMTTY Help Files on other troubleshooting steps and important settings.
MMTTY Locks Up on Transmit
I had this very problem occur to me. I was using a Compaq Deskpro 333 MHz Pentium II computer that would lock up while transmitting FSK using the MMTTY Plug-in. It would not happen on every transmission but it happened enough that I no longer could use the PC for RTTY contesting. The solution was to install a separate sound card in the PC and use the new sound card with the plug-in.
Then later I received an E-mail from someone who was having trouble with MMTTY lock-up problems. His solution was to install updated drivers for his sound card. So I tried that with my Compaq Deskpro and it cured the problems of MMTTY locking up while using the original sound card. I found that the PC was using the generic Windows sound card driver. I went on the Web and found specific drivers for the sound card. I installed the new driver and it appears to have fixed the problem. So check to make sure you have the correct and most up-to-date driver for your sound card. To find out which sound card you have, go to the Device Manager and check the properties of your Sound controller.
Issues with MMTTY Version 1.63 & 1.64
The MMTTY "engines" that came with versions 1.63 and 1.64 have a known problem when used with WriteLog and some other programs. On rare occasion, pressing an F key to send a buffer message would cause the transmitter to key, then suddenly un-key. In the 2003 NAQP RTTY contest, I beta tested MMTTY engine 1.64b and experienced no drop outs in 600 QSO's. It was a good test and I feel that perhaps this engine may be the upgrade we are looking for.
In any case, the 1.62 "engine" has proved to be rock solid and is a good one to use in case of problems with present or future versions of the MMTTY "engine". The "engine" is basically just the program Mmtty.exe and nothing more.
If you have MMTTY162.exe which is the full version 1.62 program, you can re-install it over any existing MMTTY installation.

My granddaughter attended school at Hope from Kindergarten through 8th grade and was provided a great Christian education with a lot of individual attention. She is now a senior at a Lutheran High School and is doing quite well and continues to live a God centered life.
My son was able to receive the individual attention valued in early education. As a result he excelled and was able to take honors classes in high school which further excelled him to honors college in a private university. Now in medical school, he still credits the Christian education and environment provided to him at Hope for many of his achievements.

The holidays offer many opportunities to share and socialize with family and friends. Food and drink is usually an important part of holiday gatherings, so remember to take good care of yourself and your body by practicing moderation. Though at times it may seem difficult, staying healthy over the holidays has many rewards. Maintaining a healthful lifestyle may also help you avoid the weight gain that many experience during the season.
One way to maintain your weight during the holiday is to make good choices when faced with a selection of holiday treats. Another is to remember the importance of portion control and to be aware when you've reached your serving limits. For example, a serving of cheese is about the size of four dice. You can get the recommended serving of dairy (two to three servings per day) just by standing next to a cheese tray and absentmindedly eating while chatting with a friend!
Kristin Gustashaw, MS, RD, LD, a clinical dietitian at Rush University Medical Center, notes that people prepare for company when they're about to have a party — cleaning the house, setting a nice table, preparing a meal and so forth. She advises taking the same approach with your body: "Eat more sparingly the few days before a party by eating light but balanced meals and by saying 'no' to sweets, late-night visits to the kitchen and extra treats. You should also increase your activity level before and after a party. You need to gear up and then clean up afterward, just like when you're hosting a party."
She recommends that you get a balanced diet at all times, but especially during the holiday season. "You should have some protein, some carbohydrates and some fat at every meal," Gustashaw advises. "Fiber is very important, too, because it fills you up and makes you feel satisfied." She also recommends drinking plenty of water, because people often confuse the feeling of dehydration with hunger.
But don't get discouraged if you overindulge. Just return as soon as possible to your program of healthful and moderate eating. "If you mess up on a meal make the next thing you put in your mouth that much more healthy and jump back on track," says Gustashaw.

Brainiac 5 struggles to keep the secret of his relationship with Supergirl secret while they try to shut down Brainiac's reactor core in the Last Stand of Krypton.
Characterization is the strong point here and Gates conveys a true spectrum of convincing personalities that Rodriguez then conveys convincingly. As out there as a time-displaced love affair can get, there was a solid emotional core to latch on to. I also liked the device of dueling narrative captions, here, conveying (in a fun way) what these characters think of each other and what they're hiding from one another.
This issue's a reminder of just why DC had to do Crisis On Infinite Earths in the first place. Plot lines, particularly those relating to Superman, were just getting way too convoluted. I'm familiar with this stuff already and even I am having trouble keeping track of all the different timelines, the different versions of Krypton and the list of which ones have returned after Infinite Crisis and which ones haven't. Gates manages to keep it all focused here, but it's on the cusp of tying my brain into knots. On a small note, I thought the coloring on the characters was a little overly shiny in parts. People looked like they were wearing rubber.
With middle-act issues like this, it's really best to comment on how the story and characters, and I can say that I was involved in the steps of Braniac 5 and Kara's relationship. Characterization can frequently be lost in crossovers as big and crazy as this, but you can definitely relate to the green guy's anguish over not be able to tell the woman he loves how he loves her. This is worth picking up, even if you haven't been following Last Stand of New Krypton.

" I hope Kara doesn't end up with Brainiac 5, she's like sixteen and way too young for him. I think Kara should be with someone of her own timeline and present. "Technically this Kara is older than Superman and is in her late forties.
" @davidkenneth said:
" I hope Kara doesn't end up with Brainiac 5, she's like sixteen and way too young for him. "but he first met her when she was older, she is just a younger version of the woman he has already met. "
Not really, he meet and feel in love with the Earth one/ Pre-Crisis/Silver Age Kara. She may look the same but it's not the person he fell for.

I've enjoyed every Last Stand of New Krypton tie-in and the Supergirl issues aren't an exception. I really like the creative team on this and will most probably keep picking this series up after Last Stand.

All Incoming Ivy League Freshman Between 1940-1970 Were Required To Pose For Nude Photos?
The Ivy League nude posture photos were taken in the 1940s through the 1970s of all incoming freshmen at certain Ivy League and Seven Sisters colleges, ostensibly to gauge the rate and severity of rickets, scoliosis, and lordosis in the population.[1][2] The project was run by William Herbert Sheldon and E.A. Hooton who may have been using the data to support their theory on body types and social hierarchy. What remained of the images were transferred to the Smithsonian and most were destroyed between 1995 and 2001.[1][3]
Um, can this possibly be true?

This video makes me cry. I suspect for most women it touches a nerve. There's something visceral to the refrain, something innate and familiar and true. "Let her speak." Maybe because those words are words that have been repeated in our heads in countless boardrooms and classrooms and town halls and dinner parties. A quiet, inner chant to soothe us. An angry thought turned over and over as our blood boils. "Let her speak." The thing we wish we would have said, or tried to keep ourselves from yelling, or maybe finally just blurted out and then were met with blank stares — all screaming now, together. Finally.
And to see that good ol' boy motherfucker raise his gavel and then put it down, knowing better than to try, makes me grateful and emotional and proud. I feel relieved.

Documentation Center
To send an email from MATLAB®, use the sendmail function. You can also attach files to an email, which lets you mail files directly from MATLAB. To use sendmail, you must first set up your email address and your SMTP server information with the setpref function.
The setpref function defines two mail-related preferences:
Email address: This preference sets your email address that will appear on the message. Here is an example of the syntax:
SMTP server: This preference sets your outgoing SMTP server address, which can be almost any email server that supports the Post Office Protocol (POP) or the Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP). Here is an example of the syntax:
setpref('Internet', 'SMTP_Server', 'mail.server.network');
You should be able to find your outgoing SMTP server address in your email account settings in your email client application. You can also contact your system administrator for the information.
Once you have properly configured MATLAB, you can use the sendmail function. The sendmail function requires at least two arguments: the recipient's email address and the email subject:
sendmail('email@example.com', 'Hello From MATLAB!');
You can supply multiple email addresses using a cell array of strings, such as:
sendmail({'firstname.lastname@example.com', ... 'email@example.com'}, 'Hello From MATLAB!');
You can also specify a message body with the sendmail function, such as:
sendmail('firstname.lastname@example.com', 'Hello From MATLAB!', ... 'Thanks for using sendmail.');
In addition, you can also attach files to an email using the sendmail function, such as:
sendmail('email@example.com', 'Hello from MATLAB!', ... 'Thanks for using sendmail.', 'C:\yourFileSystem\message.txt');
You cannot attach a file without including a message. However, the message can be empty. You can also attach multiple files to an email with the sendmail function, such as:
sendmail('email@example.com', 'Hello from MATLAB!', ... 'Thanks for using sendmail.', ... {'C:\yourFileSystem\message.txt',... 'C:\yourFileSystem\message2.txt'});
The following example sends email with the retrieved Web page archive attached:
% NOTE: CHANGE THESE 2 LINES OF CODE TO REFLECT YOUR SETTINGS. mySMTP = 'mail.server.network'; myEmail = 'email@example.com'; % Set your email and SMTP server address in MATLAB. setpref('Internet','SMTP_Server',mySMTP); setpref('Internet','E_mail',myEmail); % Locate the list of files at the MATLAB Central File Exchange % uploaded within the past 7 days, that contain "Simulink." filex = 'http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/'; params = {'duration','7','term','simulink'}; % Save the Web content to a file. urlwrite(filex,'contains_simulink.html','get',params); % Create a zip archive of the retrieved Web page. zip('simulink_matches.zip','contains_simulink.html'); % Send an email (to yourself) with the zip archive attached. recipient = myEmail; subj = 'List of New Simulink Files'; msg = ... 'Attached: new Similink files uploaded to MATLAB Central.'; attFile = 'simulink_matches.zip'; sendmail(recipient,subj,msg,attFile);

40 Years of King
In a few weeks (November 11, 2014) Stephen King will release his latest novel Revival. Along with his recent release, Mr Mercedes, it will be 40 years since his first publish book was released. Carrie came out on April 5, 1974.
Nearly everyone has heard the story about how that novel was nearly not completed, since King had thrown away his original 16 pages or so and that it was retrieved by his wife who liked it suggested that he continue.
I have been a fan of Stephen King since the summer of 1976 when I picked up a copy of 'salem's Lot. I knew nothing of King, this was his third work and movie adaptation of Carrie was still in production. It was released in November of 1976. I wasn't even much of a horror fan, but the cover intrigued me. It was plain black cover, embossed with a figure and one drop of red blood.
From there I read The Shinning and Carrie, in the reverse order that they were written. They were enjoyable. It was the collection of stories, many that were first published in '70s Men's Magazines, Night Shift that really hooked me. The Stand was the first of his works that I purchased in hard cover. Even with 40 years of writing, I still consider this to be my favorite Stephen King. I still pick up all of his works within the first few days of their release.
I'm not one to think that everything that he wrote was good. There were a few he wrote in the late '80′s and '90′s that I couldn't finish. Maybe one day I'll go back and try again. I am also not a fan of the Dark Tower series. I still haven't read the final few chapters.
But sometimes I do go back to some of the older stuff. I just recently watched "Maximum Overdrive" a movie that he not only wrote based on the short story "Trucks" from Night Shift, but also directed. At the time I thought it to be a terrible movie. So did a lot of people, since it was a big bomb. But watching it last week, I found that it wasn't really all that bad.
July 4, 1776
How much do you actually know about what happened on and around July 4, 1776? We all know that July 4th is the birthday of the United States, but is it really? Events that lead up to the birth of the United States started with a Resolution by Richard Henry Lee, a representative to the Second Colonial Congress from Virginia.
The Virginia House of Burgesses on May 15, 1776 resolved that "the delegates appointed to represent this colony in General Congress" be instructed to propose to that respectable body to declare the united Colonies free and independent states."
Lee presented on June 6, 1776, a resolution to congress that read;
Resolved, That these United Colonies are, and of right ought to be, free and independent States, that they are absolved from all allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain is, and ought to be, totally dissolved.
That it is expedient forthwith to take the most effectual measures for forming foreign Alliances.
That a plan of confederation be prepared and transmitted to the respective Colonies for their consideration and approbation.
Debate began on the resolution, but it was decided to wait for three weeks so that the delegates could send the resolution to their home colonies and receive direction on voting. It also appeared to those present that the resolution would pass and that there needed to be a suitable declaration for the resolution.
On June 11, 1776 a committee, consisting of John Adams of Massachusetts, Benjamin Franklin of Pennsylvania, Thomas Jefferson of Virginia, Robert R. Livingston of New York, and Roger Sherman of Connecticut, was formed. They were known as the Committee of Five.
The committee delegated that Jefferson would write the draft. Jefferson and the committee worked on it from June 12 until June 27. Franklin and Adams made several minor corrections and the entire committee made additional changes and additions, a total of forty-seven alterations including the insertion of three complete paragraphs from Jefferson's original draft. Jefferson then produced another copy incorporating these changes and the committee presented this copy to the Continental Congress on Friday June 28, 1776.
On Monday July 1st, congress began debate on the Lee Resolution.
Delaware had three delegates representing the colony. Delaware had just recently declared their independence not only from England but also from Pennsylvania with whom they shared a Royal Governor. The three delegates were Thomas Mckean and Caesar Rodney who were for Independence and George Reed who was against. When debate began Rodney was in Dover Delaware who as a Militia General was seeing to the command of his troops. (Some stories are that Rodney was on his death bed. While it is true that he had a rare form of facial cancer that left him disfigured and in constant discomfort he was not at his home due to the disease. In fact Rodney lived for nearly 8 more years).
Thomas McKean, who was on the side of independence, sent a dispatch to Caesar Rodney who received it on July 1st, the day before the vote would be taken. He quickly mounted his horse and began the 80 miles trip to Philadelphia. He rode throughout the night. While he rode he encountered a severe thunderstorm. He continued to ride through the rain that turned the road to mud. He arrived shortly after the delegates returned to the Congress after their lunch break, just before the final vote was taken on Tuesday July 2nd. When Delaware was called he rose and voted in favor of Independence. George Read, the Delaware delegate who was against Independence, did sign the Declaration.
South Carolina still wasn't in favor of independence, but Edward Rutledge, who opposed independence and had many motions to delay the vote, convinced the delegation that for the sake of unanimity, they should vote in favor. The New York delegation abstained, since they did not have instructions from their home government. The Vote for Independence had passed.
In a letter that John Adams wrote to his wife Abigail on July 3 he said;
The second day of July, 1776, will be the most memorable epoch in the history of America. I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated by succeeding generations as the great anniversary festival. It ought to be commemorated as the day of deliverance, by solemn acts of devotion to God Almighty. It ought to be solemnized with pomp and parade, with shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires, and illuminations, from one end of this continent to the other, from this time forward for evermore.
That was just the first step. Now the Declaration of the Committee of Four was brought to the floor of Congress and debated. Finally at a little after 11 o'clock on Thursday morning July 4, 1776, the Declaration of Independence was approved. This was after many hours of debate during the two days leading to the vote. There were thirty-nine revisions to the committee's draft, including the deletion of language that denounced King George III for promoting the slave trade. John Hancock, as President of Congress, and Charles Thompson, Secretary of Congress signed the document. Again the New York delegation abstained from the vote, but did approve the Declaration five days later.
It wasn't until July 19th that congress ordered that the Declaration to be officially inscribed and signed by its members. Congressional delegates began to sign the officially inscribed copy on August 2. It was even signed by some members who had not voted for its adoption and some who was not even present at Congress when the vote was cast.
An American Playwright – Eugene O' Neill
I was talking with a old friend over the weekend. We had gone to college together in the late '70s and had taken a number of Theater classes together. We were discussing historical people who we would like to possibly do for performance history. The subject came up because he was thinking of doing Abraham Lincoln. I mentioned that I had always thought about working on a play with the Playwright Eugene O'Neill narrating the story of his life.
In the '70s many people knew of Eugene O' Neill. He was an American Playwright, who many felt was the Shakespeare of the American Theater of the first part of the 20th Century. O'Neill was born into show business. His father James O'Neill was considered a matinee idol as a stage actor in the later half of the 19th Century, his most famous role was that of The Count of Monte Cristo. Eugene O'neill was born in a hotel room on October 16, 1888, the third of three children that James O'Neil had with his wife Mary Ellen Quinlan.
It wasn't until after he spent much of 1912 and 1913 in sanatorium recovering from tuberculosis that he decided to write plays. Prior to this he had spent time at sea. Quite a few of his early plays cold be classified as Sea Plays.
His career as a playwright can be seen as divided in 2 parts. The first from 1914-1936. His plays were a standard on Broadway during this period winning the Pulitzer Prize for Drama (1920, 1922, 1928,) and in 1936 the Nobel Prize for Literature, the second American to win. The second part begin in 1946 after a 10 year period where no new plays of his were produced. Then Ice Man Cometh an autobiographical play was produced. It was the first of a number of autobiographical plays he wrote during this second phase of his career. Long Day's Journey into Night is thought by many to be his best.
He was married 3 times; Kathleen Jenkins (1909–12), Agnes Boulton (1918–29) and Carlotta Monterey (1929–53). He had three children, Eugene Jr with Jenkins and with Boulton Shane and Oona. Oona married Charlie Chaplain at the age of 18. Chaplain was 54. O'Neill disapproved of the wedding and he never saw her again.
After a long illness which for many years made it difficult to write O'Neill died in Room 401 of the Sheraton Hotel on Bay State Road in Boston, on November 27, 1953. It is said that while he was dying he whispered "I knew it. I knew it. Born in a hotel room and died in a hotel room."
Be An Expert
An expert is someone that is recognized as being a reliable source of knowledge.
Everyone is an expert on something. You are the expert at doing your job. If nothing else you are the expert on you.
The best way to become an expert is to have experience. Learn something everyday.
There are 3 kinds of experts. Book Learning expert, a Practical Experience expert or one that has both.
The more that you learn about a subject more you become an expert on that subject. It doesn't matter how you learn the information, just as long as the information is true and accurate.
When talking about a subject that you know a great deal about, be yourself and don't be an know-it-all.
Mount Rushmore of Game Show Hosts
With the passing of Jim Lange (August 15, 1932 – February 25, 2014) best known as the host of "The Dating Game" in the late 60′s and early 70′s, it made me start to think who are some of the greatest game show hosts of the past 60 years. Some one on the radio this morning asked their partner for the Mount Rushmore of hosts, so I decided to come up with my own. These top 4 are listed in no particular order.
Bill Cullen:
Bill Cullen may be best remembered as the guy with the thick glasses, but he had a great comical wit that people love to see, even on bad shows.
Bob Baker:
"The Price is Right" need I say more.
Dennis James:
One of the first to host a game show in the 50s. He was even considered to be the host of "The Price is Right" that was given to Bob Barker and did host a night time version of it.
Dick Clark:
A producer and host.
Those left off, but are part of the top 10 would include Monty Hall, Jim Lange, Alex Trebek, Allen Ludden, Bob Eubanks, and Garry Moore.
One State Remains in Favor of a Constitutional Amendment to Not Allow Abolishment of Slavery
In the waning days of the 36th Congress and just before the inauguration of Abraham Lincoln in 1861, congress passed a proposed Constitution Amendment, which would have prevented the United States from abolishing slavery.
"No amendment shall be made to the Constitution which will authorize or give to Congress the power to abolish or interfere, within any State, with the domestic institutions thereof, including that of persons held to labor or service by the laws of said State."
The southern States were too busy in seceding from the union to pass the amendment. Once they seceded they technically were no longer part of the Union and their approval wouldn't have counted anyway.
Two states, Maryland and Ohio, who didn't secede did pass the amendment.
Ohio rescinded their approval in 1864, but on the books Maryland is still registered to have approved it. This even with Maryland abolishing slavery in their 1864 Constitution.
Now 150 years later, Maryland, also known as the "Free State", has a proposal going through their legislature to formerly have their approval rescinded.
A Day for Adolf
It's not unusual for a day of the year to become a focal point in one's life. For some it's their birthday or another day the person decides is their Lucky Day. Others it's a date where something always seems to happen. For Adolf Hitler that day could have been January 30th.
It was on January 30, 1933 that Hitler became the Chancellor of Germany taking the reigns of the 14 year old Germanic democratic republic. Hitler had spent his entire political career denouncing the republic and now he was the German leader. Within weeks Hitler would be the absolute dictator of Germany.
During his fourth anniversary speech on January 30, 1937 he delivered 8 points on ways to bring pacification of Europe. Among those points were for "individual countries should possess stable political and economic conditions", "The vital interests of the different nations must be frankly recognized." and "The German Reich will watch over its security and honor with its strong Army."
Two years later in his 1939 speech detailed that Europe had a "Jewish Problem" and that Germany was going to solve that problem with "… the annihilation of the Jewish race in Europe!".
And it was on this day in 1945 that Hitler gave his final speech on the 12th anniversary of him coming to power. It was broadcast like many of his speeches to the general public on radio.
When you think back on your life, has one day of the year become a focal point in your life such as January 30th became one for Hitler. Not everyone has an anniversary such as his, but most of us do have an anniversary that means something to us.
Didn't Know … Wrote That
Over the years there have been many popular songs. Ones that once you hear who wrote them it comes as quite a surprise. In 1971 James Taylor had his only Billboard Number one with "You've Got a Friend". Being that Taylor wrote many songs, some think that it is one of his compositions. That's not the case. It was written by his good friend Carole King. She wrote both the words and the music, one of her first with her having sole songwriting credit.
Carole King along with a number of different lyricist, many with her first husband Gerry Goffin wrote quite a few popular hits of the 1960s including, "Will You Love Me Tomorrow" recorded by The Shirelles, "Go Away Little Girl" by Steve Lawrence and Donny Osmond, and "(You Make Me feel (Like a Natural Woman)" by Aretha Frankin. But did you know that they also wrote The Monkees song "Pleasant Valley Sunday".
The Monkees weren't know as song writers, but they did write a few of their songs. MiKe Neismith wrote a few. But one of his most popular songs was recorded by Linda Ronstadt and the Stone Ponies, "Different Drum".
Shel Silverstein may be best know for the cartoons he drew for Playboy Magazine in the 1960′s and 70s or maybe even for his children's books, but he also wrote a number of popular songs. The most famous is probably Johnny Cash's "A Boy Named Sue" as well as two of Dr Hook's songs "Cover of the Rolling Stone" and "Sylvia's Mother".
Since the music credit for the Bangles' song "Manic Monday" list Christopher as the writer, not many people are aware that it was actually written by Prince.
JP Richardson, also known as the Big Bopper, was killed along with Buddy Holly and Richie Valens on February 3, 1959. A few weeks after his death, his friend George Jones recorded a song written by him. It was George Jones first county Number 1 song, one of his most popular, as well as one of the great County songs. JP Richardson, the Big Bopper, wrote "White Lightning".
Merry Christmas
A Christmas Carol Not Sung
A Christmas Carol by English novelist Charles Dickens was first published on December 19, 1843. It had illustrations by John Leech.
The story is divided into Staves and not chapters. A stave, which is similar to a stanza, is found in music as a recurring pattern of meter and rhyme. Dickens felt this added humor as it relates to the title.
When Scrooge is visited on Christmas Eve by the ghost of his old partner and friend Jacob Marley, Marley's ghost informs "Expect the first tomorrow, when the bell tolls one. … Expect the second on the next night at the same hour. The Third, upon the next night when the last stroke of Twelve has cease to vibrate." In the end the three spirits visited him on one night.
A Christmas Carol has been adapted for nearly every form of entertainment including theatre, opera, film, radio and television. The first film version was made in 1901 called Scrooge. In 1908 Thomas Edison also produced a film version of the story.
In the 1930s Lionel Barrymore did a radio production playing Scrooge. It was so popular that plans were made for him to do a film version. However, before it could be filmed he was confined to a wheelchair with crippling arthritis and the role was played by Reginald Owen.
One of the most acclaimed film version of A Christmas Carol starred Alastair Sim as Ebeneser Scrooge. The English produced film was released with the title Scrooge in England and A Christmas Carol in the United States. It however did not attain its stature until the 1970′s when it turned up each year on US TV. Prior to this the most popular version of the filmed story in the US was the 1938 version with Reginald Owen.

According to the Hurricane Research Division of NOAA, a total of 281 hurricanes have made landfall in the United States since 1851.
(MORE: The six costliest hurricanes)
There are many ways to measure the severity of the impacts these hurricanes have had on the United States throughout the years. Using recent history, Katrina in 2005 and Ike in 2008 stand out for the devastating storm surge flooding they produced. When it comes to catastrophic wind damage, Charley from 2004 and Andrew in 1992 are prime examples. For rainfall flooding, we know very well that it does not take an intense hurricane to cause a major disaster as Allison from 2001 reminds us.
So, how do we rank the most intense U.S. hurricanes at landfall since each one of them has a unique set of impacts? The National Hurricane Center has done this by ranking all the major hurricanes on record using the atmospheric pressure of the system at landfall as a measuring stick.
When meteorologists are tracking hurricanes, we are always closely monitoring the atmospheric pressure near the center of the cyclone. In general, a lower pressure means a more intense hurricane in terms of its winds and overall destructive potential, except for rainfall, which is independent of pressure and wind. Conversely, a higher pressure indicates a weaker system.
As Senior Meteorologist Stu Ostro (Facebook | Twitter) points out in a weather.com blog from 2005, it's interesting to note that the top five most intense hurricanes have all struck within a narrow window on the calendar that is only a little more than two weeks long from August 20 to September 2.
(MORE: Experts reflect on Isaac)
We begin the countdown with the fifth most intense U.S. hurricane landfall on record, which struck Texas more than 125 years ago.

Moms and Dads Created Equal?
Fans of "equally shared parenting" believe moms and dads can split the work.
The cover story of The New York Times Magazine celebrates the "equally shared parenting" movement, and the couples featured in the piece work hard to split parenting, wage-earning and household duties 50-50, no matter what.
According to equallysharedparenting.com, started by Marc and Amy Vachon, the definition of the practice is "the purposeful practice of two parents in an intact home sharing equally in the domains of child-raising, housework, bread-winning, and recreation time."
This article comes hot on the heels of a survey that found that 37% of working dads said they are willing to take a pay cut to spend more time with their children; 42% would take a pay cut of 10% or more.
"More and more men want to be more involved in their children's lives," says psychologist Joan Reese. "Many modern-day parents are getting tired of the traditional setup, where either the man is the breadwinner and the woman does the majority of the household and childcare duties, or both the mom and dad work, but the woman is still expected to do more at home than the man does. This dynamic typically leaves both partners feeling stressed, and it's the kids who suffer for it."
That's where equally shared parenting -- where both partners work less and participate more in childcare -- is the answer. "You and your spouse are a true team," Amy Vachon claims on her Web site. "You are both leading lives in balance. Equally shared parenting truly is half the work, and all the fun." But opponents of equal parenting call it "genderless parenting," and say it erases traditional male-female roles and confuses children.
We love the idea of moms feeling less expected to do it all -- because, we gotta tell you, most of us are exhausted trying to do the impossible day in, day out. And dads pitching in more sounds good, too. But let's be realistic, how many bosses will go for employees working less, especially in this economy? And do guys really want to take on bake sales, doctor appointments and homework?
Tell us your thoughts on equally shared parenting.
My husband and I do share some responsibilities, He cooks while I clean and take care of the kids. But that is the extent of it. He does bring home the bread. But that is just how we do it. I know that he does wish that he were able to be home more to watch our kids grow.
It definitely makes things too hard when things are not split down the middle. A woman can't be expected to work a 9 to 5, come home have a Betty Crocker inspired meal on the table by 6:30, tuck in the kids like June Cleaver and have sex on top of it all at the end of the night. It just ain't possible.
Shouldn't we be TRYING to erase "traditional male-female" roles? I know I don't want my daughter thinking she can only grow up to cook and clean and my son to think his wife will just put up with that! Not much of an argument for those opposing this…
I don't undertsand what is so wrong with choosing to stay home with your children.My daughter is very aware that she can grow up and do whatever she wants to do.I make it clear that it is my choice to stay home and take care of my kids.My husband works but he is very much an active parent.From the minute he steps in the door he is hands on,plays, helps with homework, does the baths and bed tuck ins.It takes two people to make a baby so it makes sense that it takes both of them to raise one.

Look better naked
By Martica Heaner, M.A., M.Ed., for MSN Healthy Living
If you're a pajama kind of woman longing to flash some flesh, we've got a plan that will get you uncovered and ready for lace—or nothing at all! This body-firming routine is designed to reach all the parts your clothing won't. But this is no average toning workout. We've added an extra fat blast: three-minute, calorie-burning cardio intervals between every strength move.
To expedite the transformation of your soon-to-be exposed areas, include at least 30 minutes of cardio work on days that you don't perform this routine. If you're new to exercise, lower the intensity or duration of your workout accordingly. By coupling firming moves for your butt, abs, legs, arms, chest, back and shoulders with calorie-burning fat blasts, you'll create sexy curves.
You'll need weights and a stability ball. Start with dumbbells that are at least 5 to 8 pounds and gradually work up to using six to 20 pounds. Don't use weights during the fat blasts. If needed, modify the high-impact movements, such as the jumps, and make them lower impact by performing the same movement without jumping. Move for three minutes (or less if you're just starting) and try not to pause between exercises. Of course, if you feel tired or out of breath, slow down.
Start with one complete circuit: Perform each 3-minute Fat Blast, followed by eight to 12 repetitions of each firming move. Move quickly when performing each strength move, but don't swing the weights—if you can swing them, your weight is too light. Once you've cycled through all six exercises, repeat the circuit for a total of two to three cycles. Do this workout two to three times a week on non-consecutive days.
Biceps Curl With Side Kick
Fat blast: March in place for three minutes.
Start: Start with your feet hip-width apart, toes pointing forward. Hang your arms straight along the outside of your thighs, weights in each hand, palms facing each other. Lean your upper body slightly forward and push your hips back to lower your body into a squat position. Hold your body weight in your heels and keep your calves vertical, and your knees above your ankles, not toes.
Technique tip: Avoid letting the weights cause your shoulders to slump. Press your chest forward and flatten your shoulder blades close to your back.
Biceps Curl With Side Kick
Finish: As you squeeze your butt to stand, open your right leg straight to the side and balance on your left leg. At the same time lift the weights to your shoulders by bending your elbows, palms facing each other. Bring the elbows slightly in front of your torso. Balance, then lower your arms and foot to return to the squat position. Then repeat, alternating legs.
Common error: Raising the lifted leg too high
Fit fix: Avoid a postural slump caused by aiming for a high kick, rather than a controlled leg lift. Keep your lifting knee facing forward, rather than up, and raise your thigh to a 45-degree angle (or less), maintaining perfect posture as you do.
Ball Squat
Fat blast: Alternate marching in place for 15 seconds followed by two jumps. Continue for three minutes.
Start: Hold a stability ball against a wall and press your back against it to hold it in place. Spread your feet hip-width apart, toes pointing forward. Walk your feet forward 2 or 3 feet away from your body as you lean into the ball.
Technique tip: Maintain good posture by holding your rib cage high and tightening your core muscles slightly.
Ball Squat
Finish: Slide your back down the ball to lower your hips until they are at knee level and your upper back is pressing against the ball. Tighten your abs and hold your body weight in your heels. Hold briefly, then squeeze your butt to slide back up. Repeat.
Safety tip: If your knees feel strained, walk your feet farther away from your body and try not to drop your hips as low.
Chest Press
Fat blast: Step up and down off a fitness step, curb or the first step on your staircase for three minutes. Face forward throughout and step up with each foot, then down with each foot, still facing forward.
Start: Roll up a small towel lengthwise and lie on top of it so that is fills up the space between the curve of your lower back and the floor. Bend your knees, feet flat, and hold a weight in each hand, palms facing in. Bend your elbows at 90-degree angles out to the sides, inline with your shoulders.
Chest Press
Finish: Tighten your chest muscles to push the weights straight up, palms facing each other. Extend your arms completely so that they are vertical, hands above your ribcage, not your face. Bend your elbows out to the sides and repeat.
Common error: Locking the elbows
Fit fix: Straighten your elbows as you push up without pushing to the end of the range of motion in the joint. Keep the elbows straight, but "soft."
Core Triceps Extension
Fat blast: Alternate marching in place for 10 seconds and joggin in place for five seconds. Continue for three minutes.
Start: Roll up a small towel lengthwise and lie flat with the curve of your lower back on top of the towel. Bend your knees, feet flat, and hold a weight in each hand, palms facing in. Bend your elbows, making sure that they point directly up, not out to the sides. Extend your left leg straight in a diagonal line away from your left hip. Engage your core muscles to stabilize your hips and ribs.
Technique tip: If your back feels overarched, unroll the towel so it is not as thick.
Core Triceps Extension
Finish: Continue to hold your leg in an extended position as you push the weights up and straighten your arms. Keep your core muscles tight as you push the weights up. Then, bend your elbows and lower the weights behind your head. (Hold one weight in both hands if your elbows feel strained.) Repeat, completing half the reps with your left leg extended and half the reps with your right leg extended.
Safety tip: If your back feels strained, bend the knee and bring your thigh closer to your body, or drop your leg and bend both knees.
One Arm Row
Fat blast: March or jog in place as you alternate lifting each knee up. Continue for three minutes.
Start: Hold one heavy weight or two lighter weights doubled up in your right hand and stand with your legs split wide apart, left in front of the right. Bend both knees slightly, then lean forward with a straight back, bending where your hip and thigh meet, rather than at your waist. Rest your left arm on your left thigh and hang your right arm down on the inside of your left leg, palm facing in. Keep your chin tucked into your neck.
Technique tip: Press your right shoulder blade flat to your back to prevent your right shoulder from rounding forward.

The Jenny Craig Experiment
Susannah Locketti: Starting any new weight loss program is nerve-wracking, and beginning my four-week journey on Jenny Craig is no exception. Today I must visit my local Jenny Craig center to get weighed in, measured, order my meals, and learn about the fundamentals of the program.
I'm having mixed emotions. I have been losing weight on my own for over two months. I've lost 21 lbs through diet and exercise, and am afraid of making a sudden change. Then again, sudden changes seem to be my thing lately. My husband moved out a few weeks ago, and my new schedule as a single mom is crazy! I've had less time to prepare meals amidst the temporary chaos, and the idea of having all of my meals preplanned and ready to eat sounds like a welcome break right about now. I also have mixed emotions about consuming processed meals because my diet right now has been nothing but whole.
My stress level is also at an all-time high, which makes me even more susceptible to episodes of binge eating. I am hoping the individualized support is just what I need right now to get me through this transitional time. The only downside to starting Jenny Craig this week is that I am headed to the West Coast for four days, and am wondering how the heck I am going to stick to this program in the airport, at restaurants, business meetings, etc. I have never lost weight on a business trip in my life. Normally, my binging party starts at the airport and lasts through my entire trip. I come home feeling fat, bloated, and weighing more than when I left. Maybe this time it will be different.
Friday, June 5th
The visit to my closest Jenny Craig center is a 30-minute drive north to a town called Hanover, Massachusetts. Jenny Craig is located on the lower level of a pretty commercial strip. The windows are adorned with Valerie Bertinelli in her bikini -- damn, she looks good. I am fresh from a workout with no makeup, but managed to slip on an old dress to try and dress up. Unfortunately it is horizontally striped, which does nothing for you visually.
I am met by my consultant, Lynn, who is about ten years older than I am and very sweet. Yes, she is thin, and she keeps thin on Jenny Craig. She preps me for my first weigh-in and measurements. I cannot believe I am sharing these numbers with the rest of the world, but here goes.
Weight: 165 (I'm only 5'1")
Chest: 39
Waist: 35
Abdomen: 38
Hips: 44
OK. I am clearly a far cry from 36/26/36, but that is why I signed up for this, to see those numbers go down. Lynn and I sit down to chat about my history with food, my current level of physical activity, and everything there is to know about the Jenny Craig program. Yes, there is a real woman named Jenny Craig. She began this program over twenty years ago in Australia (with her husband, who passed away a year ago). Since then, it has grown into a small empire now owned by Nestle.
Jenny Craig also has three cornerstones to the program: Food-Body-Mind. Jenny Cuisine is clearly the main component of this program. For the next four weeks, I will be eating their breakfasts, lunches, dinners, and snacks. I supplement with fresh veggies, fruit, and dairy. I'm allowed 1,500 calories a day, based on my level of physical activity, which is high. Because I am traveling this week, I selected foods that travel well: breakfast bars for portable breakfasts, soups that travel, some chicken salad meal kits that travel, as well as some other microwavable options. Lynn gives me a Cookies and Cream Bar on the spot to nibble on because I haven't eaten lunch. This bar has enough calcium to count as a serving of milk. I feel like I'm cheating while eating it -- it certainly is tasty. Haven't had anything sweet like this in months!
This program leans toward smaller, more frequent meals throughout the day to keep you satisfied and your metabolism up. I like this approach because as a binge eater, extreme hunger is a trigger for me. My first meal on Jenny Craig is their frozen turkey burger on a bun. It is small, and the roll does not have as much fiber as I would like, but it is surprisingly filling. I eat it with a salad and a packet of Jenny Craig Ranch dressing, which is actually really good. I also like that it is a portable packet that I can discreetly pack in my purse while in L.A.
June 7th
Sitting at the airport waiting for my flight. I get my favorite coffee at Starbucks but pass on the pastry, and instead pull out my Jenny Craig Honey Oat Bar. This little bar is high in fiber, filling, and makes a great sweet treat. I don't feel deprived. I have packed an orange and an apple for the flight. I didn't pack lunch because I will arrive in L.A. before lunchtime and plan to eat one of my meals at the hotel.
Ate my chicken salad meal kit, which is essentially six whole grain crackers, a fruit cup, and a can of premade chicken salad. I don't mind the kit, with the exception of the packaging of the chicken salad. The can reminds me of a can of Fancy Feast cat food -- it is the same size can, too. I would recommend they serve this portion of the meal in a pouch to make it more appealing for the consumer.
June 11th
Back home, and stuck to my Jenny Craig meals faithfully. It is strange eating processed food all week, but I am shocked at how low in sodium it all is. That is making me feel better about it. It is also strange not preparing my own meals. I do this for a living, so it is very weird having a week off from it, with the exception of meal prep for the kids. Speaking of my kids, they have stolen many of my Jenny Craig snacks from the pantry, so I must hide them. Oh, one little tidbit about the food that you may not see on TV: it makes me gassy. I sound like an orchestra.
June 12 -- THE WEIGH-IN DAY
So I made it through a week on Jenny Craig, with three more weeks to go for the sake of research. Tough week to gauge this program as a whole because I have been away for nearly all of it, with many meals out due to business. My weigh-in reveals I am at 162.6 ... I have lost 2.4 lbs. I am in shock and rather excited, considering I did it amidst two kids, a divorce, and my busiest time of the year work-wise.
One of the biggest questions people ask with a program like this is "What does it cost?" The food for the week was $136.40, the Premium Success Program fee was $235.00, the Premium Success Maintenance Plan was $96.22, and the books and reusable bags totaled $67.78. There were some specials going on that saved me $90.00, so the total for Week 1 was $448.79. The only fees moving forward will be for my weekly meals.
Stay tuned for my week two blog. I also welcome any questions you have about this program so I can answer them in future posts.
|Susannah Locketti is an on-air chef and lifestyles personality discovered by the Food Network. Susannah is a mother of 2 boys, who specializes in low cost approaches to food and home. She is currently working on her first cookbook.
I find the price of the weekly meals to be quite expensive. That's what it costs for me to feed my family of 4 a week. And, that's not including the extra produce you buy on your own?
I also question what you are putting into your body? It's so processed and must be full of additives? Would be nice to see a list of ingredients/vitamins in that chicken salad.
Good luck. I'm interested in hearing more!
Wow, I started on Jenny Craig on 7/3/09. It will be nice to follow your story…
I started on JC in May, I've lost 15 pounds and I love the food. I will be reading to see what you think but I've found Jenny Craig to be THE BEST weight loss, healthy experiences I've had.
