IncGamers Podcast/Vidcast #88
The podcast team returns from an extended summer break, ready to delve into a deluge of Kickstarter projects that have dominated the news cycle of late. From the dizzying highs of Obsidian'sProject Eternity, to the unfortunate cancellation of Tom Hall and Brenda Brathwaite's 'old school RPG' project, we chat about the ups, downs, peaks and pitfalls of the Kickstarter approach.
Plus! The winner of our "name a game from the last 20 years with the term '3D' in the title that isn't shit" contest. Spoiler: they're a former member of the IncGamers staff. Additional spoiler: don't worry, there wasn't a prize.

NetJets lost some of its creative energy in July when Marquis Jet founder and former CEO Kenny Dichter resigned as vice chairman of the company.
Jesse Itzler
When Kenny Dichter and a buddy from college first had the idea for Marquis Jet, the travel card program that sells time aboard NetJets business jets in 25-hour increments, "We had a vision that this business could be a very big one," he said.
But the pair didn't exactly have aviation flowing in their veins, as they say, making Marquis Jet's overnight success story all the
more intriguing.

Making a physical device that responds to you or the environment is compelling to most people – for many, more compelling than writing a program that displays a form on a computer screen (unless that form is the login of a game of course). The challenge with teaching 'physical computing' is that it has required some level of skill in programming, electronics, and fabrication (soldering, breadboarding,…) before you can do a first trivial project. The investment/reward calculation at that point is all wrong for many students. Gadgeteer turns that around by making it possible to build compelling projects immediately with simple high level programming skills. Let's look at what happened when we took .NET Gadgeteer into a public high school.
The .NET Gadgeteer kit is made up of a mainboard with a 32 bit processor (about as powerful as a PC from the mid to late 1980s). It comes with a very complete complement of peripheral sensors, actuators, radios, cameras, storage devices, LEDs, audio devices, and much more. It is enough to build security systems, cameras, MP3 players, and many other projects. All of the modules can be simply plugged in to the main board and used without any electronics knowledge. The applications are programmed in Visual Studio using C#.
In February, I spent two days introducing students from 5-6 classes to .NET Gadgeteer as a way to see how successful they could be with creating devices. Most of these students had no exposure to programming before. None had any exposure to electronics. The afternoon before, I asked one of the students what he would like to build. His first suggestion was an MP3 player – certainly possible but not an ideal first project when we only have 2 days. He then asked how you could control an LED. That became our first project. The following day, we presented the application to the students and went over the concepts of writing and deploying the application in just a few minutes before having the students start typing in the program. Here is what happened next:
Almost all the students were able to get the program working in the first hour - many in much less time.
The students were able to develop an understanding of event based programming and a simple if-else statement which was all that the program entailed.
Some students then went on to do variations on the original project. In the process, we were able to introduce a deeper understanding of how the development environment worked and more programming concepts seamlessly as they came across a need. The projects they built included a digital camera, a motion sensing security camera, a thermostat with adjustable alarms and more. The record went to a team that put together 4 and a half such projects in their first hour.
In self-reporting on their experience almost all students reported some significant new insight and many reported an interest in continuing.
I left the classroom very excited about the potential for interesting students in technology and teaching them programming in an exciting and organic way. When I looked for some programming resources to send to the instructor to help him move this forward with the students, what I found were only standard programming texts with a chapter on computer theory followed by a chapter on conditional logics and so on. This is not the way anyone I know first learned to program. We all got something working and then figured out how to get something else working and learned programming in the process – then we read the programming text. The .NET Gadgeteer can be a tool for making that iterative learning process more accessible and fun for the students and the instructors.
Many thanks to Chris Connors and Pembroke High School (Pembroke Massachusetts) for giving me the opportunity to work with the students. I hope they can continue the projects that the students started.
"I felt proud after I finished programming because I had made and programmed my own device""Now that I know how to use it, I want to learn more with it. I think that it is amazing how you can make something work with simple computer code""Now I have an idea of how most of the electronics I own work. It gave me higher expectations for the future""It was a good having your device work in front of your own eyes. It makes you want to discover more about the system and how it works."

Movie News
A Movie A Day: Quint loves LAURA (1944)
When a dame gets killed, she doesn't worry about how she looks.
Ahoy, squirts! Quint here with today's installment of A Movie A Day.
[For those now joining us, A Movie A Day is my attempt at filling in gaps in my film knowledge. My DVD collection is thousands strong, many of them films I haven't seen yet, but picked up as I scoured used DVD stores. Each day I'll pull a previously unseen film from my collection or from my DVR and discuss it here. Each movie will have some sort of connection to the one before it, be it cast or crew member.]
Today we jump from yesterday's decent, but dull romantic triangle melodrama DAISY KENYON to today's noir whodunit thriller LAURA via director Otto Preminger and actor Dana Andrews
And it's a vast, vast improvement over yesterday's offerings. In fact, I'd go so far as to say I loved the movie.
This is what I'm talking about. Just like in DAISY KENYON there's a group of men fighting over the love of a single woman, the title character Laura, played by the inhumanly ravishing Gene Tierney. The difference is in this movie she's been murdered, a shotgun was unloaded into her… both barrels… to the face.
And one of the men who falls in love with her does so after the fact.
Yeah… nice and fucked up, edging in on creepy territory.
I might edge into some spoiler territory here, detailing a plot twist that happens midway through the picture, but it's one that I can't discuss this film without bringing up. If you haven't seen the picture and plan on doing so, it comes with my highest recommendation, but I'd advise going into it not knowing as many of the twists and turns as you can.
There are three men in Laura Hunt's life. Two of them preceeded the shotgun blast and one is the main detective trying to solve the murder. Let's start with him.
Dana Andrews plays this guy, Dt. McPherson, who begins as kind of a no nonsense man's man, referring to girls as "dames" and "dolls," even our poor victim. It's a bit sudden and I don't know if I buy it entirely, but over the first 40 minutes of the movie he falls in love with Laura thanks to some tales he hears from the prime suspects in the case and her stunning portrait, painted by a man supposedly in love with her.
That painter was run off by elder columnist Waldo Lydecker (what a name, huh?) played to the hilt as a sarcastic, educated, jealous old fart by Clifton Webb. You see, Waldo discovered Laura and while they don't ever really make it explicit he's kind of her suitor. In flashbacks we see Laura distracted by other men and he does his damndest to shoo them away. The painter, for instance, receives a horrible evisceration in Waldo's column as being a man of ill repute and a hack painter.
The third man is a charming socialite that she ends up engaged to. It's actually a little apt that this film bridges us into next month's all Horror AMAD as this third man is played by noneother than Vincent Price. It's nice seeing him play up the semi-loser, yet charming side and not the creep.
That's the core of the film.
What makes this an atypical whodunit is the twist that the murder victim becomes a prime suspect when Laura walks back through her door 3 days after supposedly getting a faceful of buckshot.
So who was killed? Why was she killed? And who did it?
LAURA is the perfect mixture of adult, complex storytelling and popular entertainment. Joseph LaShelle's cinematography is crisp, high contrast black and white. Otto Preminger's direction is sublte, but masterful. He hits the sweet spot of being heavily stylized while not taking the viewer out of the story. David Raksin's music is lovely, haunting and thrilling. The writing by Jay Dratler, Betty Reinhardt and Samuel Hoffenstein (adapting Vera Caspary's book) is particularly sharp, keeping the story clear without making it simple.
Final Thoughts: LAURA is a pretty incredible picture, the kind of movie that keeps me searching out film of this era. It marks my introduction to the great leading lady, Gene Tierney, and I'm now making it a point to seek out her work. I watched the Biography Special on her (extra feature on the DVD) and it seems she led a rather tragic life, but she really made an impression on me. Vincent Price is also worth a look here, showing a range that most don't give him credit for. Andrews as well is perfectly suited to play the rather confused Detective. All in all LAURA is one instance of lightning captured in a bottle, every aspect of filmmaking hitting the right notes at the same time.
The titles up for grabs during the randomly picked Horror Movie A Day October:
Wednesday, October 1st – Friday, October 31st: H-MAD! Horror Movie A Day! Check out the list here!
Tomorrow begins the All Horror Month of AMAD! Holy crap! This is going to be a lot of fun. I've written down the titles of each of the 50 (and counting) titles in contention on similar sized strips of paper and have put them in a plastic bag. I'll let the movie gods guide me, adding new horror titles as they arrive. I have a few more on order and am open to any suggestions. Just let me know in the talkbacks below, especially if it's a particularly fun '80s horror flick. I'm a big fan of that era and I don't know what I'm really missing out on, but know that I love stuff like SLEEPAWAY CAMP, ALONE IN THE DARK (original, good non-Boll version), CHOPPING MALL, NIGHT OF THE DEMONS, CRITTERS, BLOOD DINER, etc. If you have any thoughts, let me know!

Laura Bush killed a man.
by Squashua
Lots of people learned that from this week's Family Guy!

 QUAGMIRE: "Peter, who are you dressed as?"

 PETER (dressed as a woman): "I'm Laura Bush."

 QUAGMIRE: "And what about you, Lois?"

 LOIS (dressed in a suit with a tire mark across it): "I'm the man she killed."

Keep up the good work. This column is one of the first things I read in the morning. You've uncovered some real gems. I hope that The Changeling, with George C. Scott, finds its way into your October line up. Watch it late at night. I promise, it WILL creep you out.

Quint - Told ya!
by Ninja Nerd
I was sure you'd like this movie a lot. And you picked up on the great turn by Vincent Price. Engaged to Laura AND stroking the sugar mama for walking around money. Definitely in my Top 20 film list! Looking forward to the Horror movies.....great job on this stuff, dude.
Oct. 1, 2008, 10:28 a.m. CST
It is a great movie
by shakatany
When I was very young and first saw "Laura" I watched the credits and didn't know which of the actors was Laura or the detective what with names like Gene and Dana *grin* Quint is right - Tierney had a hard life with one tragedy inspiring Agatha Chrisitie to write "The Mirror Crack'd".

One of my favorite oldies
by 7Cal
I love this flick. Seen Laura probably 3 or 4 times, and it always amazes me how once in a while you can find a movie made 60+ years ago, and it still holds up so well to movies of today. Great story, great plot twists, good acting, awesome cinematorgaphy.
 I'm definitely more of a genre guy at heart, Star Wars, LOTR, blah blah blah, but Laura is still probably in my top 25 or 30 all-time favorite movies.
One little touch I like is the detective always playing his pocket baseball game. It's like the 1940s equivalent of carrying around a gameboy or PSP. The guy's kind of a dork- I think in 1940s era even though he was a detective he was maybe a geek like many of us here, and so in part showed why he was able to fall in love so quickly with the woman whose murder he was investigating.

Twin Peaks
by jupstin
Couldn't help noticing all the Twin Peaks connections. There's the obvious (Laura,) but then there's Waldo (as in the Myna bird at Leo's cabin) Lydecker (the last name of the on-armed man's best friend) Bob Lydecker happens to be a vet, and it is at his office that Cooper and company discover Waldo.

by jmyoung666
That's more camp than horror. Funny, but really stupid funny, and that was when I was 17. It makes Evil Dead 2 look like straight horror by comparison.

ahhhh Gene Tierney
by Strelnikov!
After falling in love with stills of Tierney I hunted down this movie since it is so famous and was actually disappointed. Then I saw another Price/Tierney pairing called DRAGONWYCK and it was everything I had hoped Laura would be. Scary, romantic, gothic etc. It was just released on DVD so I encourage everyone to check it out. (Also another Price/Tierney flick called Leave Her To Heaven in which she's as psycho as she is sexy. No small thing.)

Manos is right.
by Strelnikov!
You should consider watching The Changeling with George C. Scott. It's one of the best haunted house movies ever. Also I highly recommend the imaginative 1987 horror explosion that is THE GATE. Sadly the DVD is in moratorium, but it's coming on several times in October on Showtime. DVR that sucker and enjoy.

Mild defense of Daisy Kenyon
by Mgmax
Nobody would argue that Laura isn't ten gazillion times better than Daisy Kenyon, but I have to say I found Daisy more interesting than you did. Here's why (I posted this at NitrateVille): "Somewhat imperfect though it is (I still didn't entirely figure Fonda's character out-- I guess he just has Olympian detachment when it comes to stepping back and letting less self-aware people figure out what the hell it is they want in life, even if what they want happens to be his wife), it has rich characters, Dana Andrews as a "Master of the Universe" type who's really sort of a big baby, yet not entirely caddish or detestable, Crawford as a career gal whose armor of self-sufficiency is about 1/256th of an inch deep, and Fonda as a guy who came back from the war seeing things in a way he knows he'll never be able to explain to anyone who wasn't there. What's great about the clash of these three characters is that this is the one old Hollywood movie you'll ever see in which love doesn't conquer all; they're falling in and out and back again into love all the time, but that just means they have to fret and think and agonize about it all over again."

Classic Noir

Noir was done best in the 1940's and this is a classic example. Up there with Murder my Sweet and This Gun for Hire. And Dana Andrews is awesome as usual.

Laura and some horror picks
by Lang The Cat
Clifton Webb really makes Waldo the slimy creep. Brilliant film, it is easily to see why Steve Martin used it in Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid. First off, Chopping Mall and Night of the Demons. I would suggest missing both, but definately the latter. Some of the films you might try watching:
 Nomads - Chilling film with Pierce Brosnan. Like most of his independent stuff, quite good.
 The Frightners
 Dead Alive
 Meet the Freebles
 Ed and His Dead Mother - Steve Buschemi
 Seven Footprints to Satan
 Dracula - with Frank Langella
 Wicker Man - with Christopher Lee
 House
 House 2
 The Tingler
 Fiend without a Face
 Night of the Demon
 The Thing with Two Heads - because it sucks so badly
 Trog - Joan Crawford in her crappiest role
 Needful Things

Can't wait until "Wait Until Dark."
by Napoleon Park
I also. This is not exactly a genre horror film and maybe the most unlike all the others on your list, but I love it. I respect your "choose at random" approach that's giving every film a 50/50 chance of being reviewed, but I hope you do this one and, if you miss it, I hope you add it to the regular AMAD list wherever it fits in.
Alan Arkin and Jack Weston playing against type in a crime thriller. Brilliant. Arkin's Roat is one of my all time favorite film villains.

Another good Gene Tierney film
by pilotgrl
Laura is an excellent noir and the cast truly consistently excellent. Another really good Tierney noir, but in color, of all things, is Leave Her to Heaven with Cornel Wilde. She plays one gorgeous but twisted, crazy woman. Highly recommended (it's available at Amazon & Neflix).

James Ellroy
by Continentalop
While I like Laura, I don't really think it is the masterpiece most people seem to regard it (I guess I have a very hard time imagining Clifton Web having the hots for Gene Tierney so bad he would commit murder). I prefer Preminger's "Where the Sidewalk Ends" with Dana Andrews. Still, it reminds me of something that James Elroy once wrote about how the Laura and Double Indemnity where the two quintessential cop love stories. In Laura they fall so in love with the victim the feel compelled to solve the crime at any cost; in Double Indemnity, they so desire the women they are seduced into helping them commit a crime. Plus, Mr. Elroy had the best, most concise description of film noir ever: "you are fucked".

How about The Legend of Hell House?
by Saknussem
Richaed Matheson wrote the screenplay based on his novel, "HELL HOUSE." It's a 1973 film starring Clive Revill and Roddy McDowall. Lots of Hammer-ish atmosphere. As Roddy says, "Hell House doesn't mind a guest or two. What it doesn't like is people who attack it."

A MASTERPIECE & a mystery you can solve!
by Max Meanie
A classic film noir mystery that contains all the clues you need to follow the detective along as he solves the murder. The writing puts the sorry state of current filmaking to shame. All the actors give impeccable performances & it's a highlight to see Vincent Price in dashing romantic role. Regarding Waldo's relationship with Laura, it's not hard to see how a bitter man past his prime could become obsessed with a gorgeous young girl (she begins the movie as 17 yrs old) that has great personality and admires him. His whole world changed now that he had this angel to mold into a distinguished lady and to have her as his companion at cocktail parties made his massive ego even bigger. To think that any man could physically love her while he (probably) couldn't is enough motive for him to do the things he did. I've seen this film probably 20 times and the fun part is looking at the clues and the layout of how the pieces fall into place. It's a great mystery, a fun character driven piece and just a DAMN GOOD MOVIE!
Oct. 3, 2008, 7:23 a.m. CST
They don't make them like they used to.
by rbatty024
Whenever someone says the above line I usually roll my eyes, but then I watch a film like Laura and realize that things have changed. I love dumb action films as much as the next guy but where are my smart thrillers and great neo-noirs. There was a time when film could simultaneously be great art and great trash. Now when it's trash there's nothing great about it.

- MaxxDryXL Boot Dryer- AWESOME! Review by Rita
Price Value Quality
We received a MaxxDryXL Boot/Glove dryer 2 years ago and as a gift and found it indispensable. We wanted to give one to our son and found the exact model at a great price at Rural King. Ordering online was a breeze and product is exactly as described. We use it to dry boost/shoes and gloves after rain/snow days, as well as after washing athletic shoes. It thoroughly and quickly dries the inside, is extremely quiet, and has a timer so we don't have to worry about forgetting to turn it off. It is well worth the money and works as well as the Cabella model a family member got for 3 times the price. we highly recommend product to anyone!
Rural King's delivery proved to be extremely quick and I received item within 2 days. Unfortunately wrong model was shipped, but when I called customer service, they were very apologetic. They shipped correct model, which I received next day, as well a paid return label. I haven't had such tremendous customer service in quite a while, so I am definitely a new repeat customer!

Return to story
The Drive-By Truckers are closing out the new year with the help of three opening acts.
Patterson Hood spent most of the fall in a van, sandwiched among guitar cases, luggage and musicians. It was his longest solo tour in years, a chance to take a break from the rock 'n' roll circus he'd built with his band, the Drive-By Truckers, and explore something different.
The venues were cozy, midsize places. The performances were scaled-down, filled with strummed acoustic guitar and swirling keyboards. Although he performed most of the shows with a full band, Hood shook up his usual lineup, asking a cello player to cover the bass parts and roping in the members of his opening act, Hope For Agoldensummer, to sing harmonies.
"It was one of the best bands I've ever heard in my life," he said last week, several days after the tour wrapped up with a pair of Nashville performances. "I did enjoy playing the smaller, more-intimate venues, and playing music that wasn't so big and loud much of the time. I'm able to really be a better singer when I can hear myself and not have to sing over the big sound."
"That said," he added, "I also enjoy being part of the big Drive-By Truckers sound and playing those big, cool rooms, so a balance is kind of ideal."
The balance will be restored this weekend at the 9:30 Club, where the Drive-By Truckers have scheduled a three-night New Year's bash Dec. 29-31.
The D.C. residency will be their final project of 2012, of course, not to mention the Truckers' first string of shows in several months. The opening acts, which change every night, include Deer Tick and the North Mississippi Allstars Duo.
Hood isn't the only Trucker who's been blazing his own path this year. Mike Cooley released a live album, "The Fool on Every Corner," culled from three solo shows in the Drive-By Truckers' home state of Georgia. Like Hood's tour, Cooley's shows were stripped-down gigs, featuring little more than vocals and fingerpicked guitar chords.
Other songwriters have cycled through the Truckers' lineup, most notably Jason Isbell and Shonna Tucker, but Cooley and Hood have always been the group's musical core. They're allies and foils, sharing a common set of influences--a mix of old-school country, soul and Southern rock--while differing in their approach. Hood is the band's blustery preacher, animating every song with outstretched hands and a Bible Belt drawl, while Cooley is the understated sidekick, crooning his way through wry tunes about down-and-out characters.
While Cooley and Hood toured the country, the other Truckers also kept themselves busy. Keyboardist Jay Gonzalez released his own album, "Mess of Happiness," and drummer Brad Morgan bounced between several side projects, including a construction gig building customized road cases for other bands. Whenever any of the Truckers played their own shows in Georgia, several of their bandmates would either join them onstage or look on from the audience.
"I'm really a huge fan of all of the folks in my band," Hood enthused. "[Pedal steel guitarist] John Neff plays in numerous bands in Athens, and I always stand in front of his side of the stage and watch him, because I don't get to really see him play when it's a DBT show. Same goes with Brad Morgan. He's our drummer and is always right behind me, but he has some side projects and I love seeing him play.
"I love Jay Gonzalez's solo album and shows," he continued, psyching himself up for the Drive-By Truckers' final shows of 2012. "I was a huge Dexateens fan, and now their bass player [Matt Patton] plays with us. Damn, I have a great band. I hope they don't ever fire me."

Masterpieces from the Scottish National Gallery
Masterpieces from the Scottish National Gallery
In November, The Frick Collection will be the first venue to present a touring group of masterpieces from the National Galleries of Scotland. The ten paintings to be featured in New York ― among them a Botticelli never before on public view in the United States and John Singer Sargent's iconic portrait of Lady Agnew ― will travel in 2015 with forty-five additional works to the de Young, Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco and the Kimbell Art Museum in Fort Worth, Texas. The tour brings to all three cities ten of the greatest paintings from the Scottish National Gallery, works that were chosen specifically to complement the permanent collections of the three American venues. The exhibitions in San Francisco and Fort Worth also draw upon the collections of the Scottish National Portrait Gallery and Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art, the three institutions that comprise the Edinburgh sites of the National Galleries of Scotland.
The paintings on view at the Frick ― from November 5, 2014, through February 1, 2015 ― will be Sandro Botticelli's The Virgin Adoring the Sleeping Christ Child (ca. 1485); El Greco's Allegory (Fábula) (1585‒95); Diego Velázquez's An Old Woman Cooking Eggs (1618); Jean-Antoine Watteau's Fêtes Vénitiennes (1718‒19); Thomas Gainsborough's Landscape with a View of a Distant Village (late 1740s or early 1750s); Allan Ramsay's The Artist's Wife: Margaret Lindsay of Evelick (1758‒60); Sir Joshua Reynolds' The Ladies Waldegrave (1780); Sir Henry Raeburn's Colonel Alastair Ranaldson Macdonell of Glengarry (1812); John Constable's The Vale of Dedham (1826); and John Singer Sargent's Lady Agnew of Lochnaw (1892). The Frick exhibition, titled Masterpieces from the Scottish National Gallery (see below for titles and dates pertaining to all three U.S. venues), is coordinated by Senior Curator Susan Grace Galassi and will be accompanied by a series of public programs and events. A fully illustrated catalogue will include entries on each of the paintings written by the curators of the Scottish National Gallery, as well as an introductory essay by Director Michael Clarke that provides an overview of the exhibition and the institution.
About the Scottish National Gallery
The Scottish National Gallery, founded in 1850, is widely regarded as one of the finest museums in the world, distinguished both for the quality and for the significance of its holdings. Its collection ranges from the fourteenth to early twentieth century and includes paintings, prints, drawings, and sculpture.

A Contribution to the Empirics of Economic Growth
AbstractThis paper examines whether the Solow growth model is consistent with the international variation in the standard of living. It shows that an augmented Solow model that includes accumulation of human as well as physical capital provides an excellent description of the cross-country data. The model explains about 80 percent of the international variation in income per capita, and the estimated influences of physical-capital accumulation, human-capital accumulation, and population growth confirm the model's predictions. The paper also examines the implications of the Solow model for convergence in standards of living -- that is, for whether poor countries tend to grow faster than rich countries. The evidence indicates that, holding population growth and capital accumulation constant, countries converge at about the rate the augmented Solow model predicts.

October 2nd is the Feast of the Guardian Angels for the universal Catholic Church. Although guardian angels have been venerated since the early days of the Church, it wasn't until the 17th century that Pope Clement X extended the feast day to the universal Church. So, today is the day to tell your guardian angel "Thank You" for their daily guidance, and "Thank You" to God for assigning a heavenly protector to your personal care. Be sure to have a guardian angel sacramental handy to increase your devotion to your guardian angel and help you to remember to them throughout the day.
At Mass and other liturgical services we see the altar servers and priests swinging censers, sending clouds of incense wafting through the air. In Catholic liturgy, everything symbolizes a theological truth. So, what does incense symbolize? Incense has been used in Christian liturgy from its earliest centuries. In fact, it was a part of the Jewish tradition that came before it, a use that was commanded by God himself and recorded in Sacred Scripture.
Brian Burch and Emily Stimpson answer questions about their new book entitled, The American Catholic Almanac, a collection of inspiring stories of famous Catholic figures, their influence on American history, culture and politics, and the contributions shaped by their Catholic faith.

There are park alerts in effect.show Alerts »
Grand Sable Dunes temporary closure to all public entry for visitor safety
Grand Sable Dunes are rapidly eroding into Sable Creek and Lake Superior. The area from the Ghost Forest Trail north to Lake Superior then along the shoreline to the west side of Sable Creek is temporarily closed. Follow closure signs for your safety. More »
Firewood and Campfires
NPS photo - Wind Cave National Park
Some places - such as two of the lakeshore's backcountry campgrounds - do not have enough down and dead wood to support the tradition of a fire. Invasive species that live in trees and firewood are a great concern to park managers, and specific regulations have been developed to protect the natural heritage of the lakeshore.
And each day we hear more about the impact of climate change on our earth and that combustion of fuels - including firewood - leads to increased carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere.
NPS photo by Amber Tembreull
- Keep your fire in the fire ring provided. If there is no fire ring, fires are prohibited.
- Use only down and dead wood.
- Keep your fire small.
- Never leave a fire burning when you leave the site. Dowse it with water.
- Report illegal fires to a park employee.
Metal campfire rings are available at each campsite in the lakeshore's drive-in campgrounds. Backcountry campgrounds (except Mosquito River and Chapel Beach) have a campfire ring to be shared among the campers. Firewood is scarce; we suggest you use a small backpacking stove.
Standing grills are available at picnic areas such as at Sable Falls and Miners Castle. Privately owned grills may be used in parking lots and on beaches as long as no fire or burning material touches the ground.
Please help us reduce the impacts of fire on the park. if you must have a fire, be sure to keep it small and use down and dead wood only. And be sure that a fire is permitted in the area you are enjoying.
Emerald Ash Borer and Campfire Wood
To prevent the potential spread of emerald ash borer, ash firewood is banned in Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore. Ash firewood is a carrier for the emerald ash borer, a small exotic insect that has infested ash trees in many parts of the country.
The introduction of exotic species - both terrestrial and aquatic - is one of the greatest threats to the ecological integrity of the national lakeshore. In combating this pest species and others, we ask the public to join us in helping to preserve and protect the natural systems in the park for this and future generations.
Important Warning - Falling Trees and Branches
Beech Bark Disease has spread throughout the national lakeshore, resulting in many dead and dying beech trees. Be aware of these trees and the potential for falling branches and trees.
This disease is initiated by a non-native insect accidentally introduced into the United States. Secondary attack by both native and non-native fungi further stresses American beech trees and causes an unusually large number of weakened and dead beech trees. The insect and fungus pose no direct threat to humans. There is no practical control method in large natural forests.
The National Park Service is making every effort to identify and remove dying and dead trees from developed areas as quickly as possible. However, all park visitors - but particularly hikers and overnight backcountry campers - should be alert for trees that are weakened, have large dead limbs or are completely dead, especially in windy conditions.
Be alert. Look up. Choose your campsite carefully.

Located within Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore, the Au Sable Light Station is on the National Register of Historic Places. Constructed in 1874, the station beacon still shines over Lake Superior's frigid waters. The lamp is now solar powered. More...

I've done some research on the "CALICO GAL" ........... There seems to have been a movie back in the 40's or perhaps a stage production that had the song "CALICO GAL" in it. That's all I know at the present. I'll hand it off to you now.
Thanks for the reply.

I wander'd lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.
Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the Milky Way,
They stretch'd in never-ending line
Along the margin of a bay;
Ten thousand saw I at a glance,
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.
The waves beside them danced, but they
Out-did the sparkling waves in glee;
A poet could not but be gay,
In such a jocund company:
I gazed--and gazed--but little thought
What wealth the show to me had brought:
For oft, when on my couch I lie
In vacant or in pensive mood,
They flash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude;
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils.

I had never thought of the bond Gramma's books created between us, but you are right on. It's not just that she held and treasured these books, used them, and ran her fingers over the pages. It's that she formed ideas, felt emotions, and stretched her imagination on the same paths I do now. Wow, what a wonderful connection.
Both my grandmothers have been gone for awhile now, but both lived into their 90's and were lively, vital, and funny right up to the end. I miss them. You have given me a deeper understanding of why I do what I do. Thanks!!

Chinese Man Sues Wife For Being Ugly, Wins $120,000
A Chinese woman underwent $100,000 worth of plastic surgery prior to getting married. (Photo: palmbeachplasticsurgery.com)
Brace yourself for some crazy news that made our stomachs clench: a Chinese man named Jian Feng recently divorced and sued his wife for being born "ugly." He said that his ex-wife, whose name has not been released, deceived him into marrying her and never told him about the $100,000 worth of plastic surgery she had before they met to make herself beautiful.
Stories like this make me sick. People can be really ridiculous at times.

As the unforgettable theme song goes, it takes Diff'rent Strokes to move the world. Maybe so, but any tale that takes impoverished black teenagers into the bosom of a well-to-do white family comes with an in-built cringe factor.
So where this adaptation of Michael Lewis's semi-biography The Blind Side: Evolution of a Game fits between bulked-up TV movie and Oscar-worthy drama is very much in the eye of the beholder.
Driving home with her family, no-nonsense Memphis belle Leigh Anne Tuohy (Bullock) stops to rescue a big, shy, baleful-looking puppy (Aaron) from the pouring rain.
His name is 'Big Mike', and he's a classmate of her daughter Collins (played by Lily 'daughter of Phil' Collins). Abandoned long ago by his mother, Big Mike has no place to go.
Leigh Anne and her li'l boy Sean Jr (Jae Head) want to keep him. And, saint that he is, husband Sean (McGraw) has no objections. So before you can say "Whatchoo talkin' 'bout, Willis?", Michael - as he prefers - becomes part of the Tuohy clan.
His files show that while he's no genius, Michael is in the 98th percentile for "protective instincts". Which puts Leigh Anne in the 100th percentile for "maternal instincts" and writer-director Hancock in the 101th percentile for "metaphorical instincts".
You see, Michael's sensitivities and size make him the perfect 'left tackle' (that's the guy who keeps the quarterback from being pulverised by defenders). But when his coach struggles to explain the job in playbook terms, in steps Leigh Anne to say it's just like protecting his family.
Helpfully, she already explained the role to us at the film's beginning, over wince-making footage of the moment NY Giants linebacker Lawrence Taylor put a new joint into Redskins quarterback Joe Thiesmann's shin.
How the stories fit together is told in Lewis's book, though as it was published in 2006, it doesn't cover Oher's rise to NFL glory with the Baltimore Ravens (he's a right tackle now, but presumably quarterbacks have two blind sides).
Anyway, it's a remarkable real-life example of luck and human kindness. But inspirational? To whom?
Chance would be a fine thing if we all had a generous sponsor to nurture our talent and fund our dreams. Unfortunately, the streets aren't exactly swarming with wealthy do-gooders.
The reality is that Oher's story is one in a million. And from earnest teachers and kindly coaches to his personal tutor Miss Sue (Bates), it seems he owes it all to 'Team White'. Ever heard of the term 'condescending'?
So for all its outwardly good intentions, it's less of an inspiration to all than an exercise in making God-fearing, liberal-minded, middle-class Americans feel good about themselves.
Its determination to sanitise any potential unpleasantness bears this out.
Altercations with shallow friends, beer-swilling rednecks and bad boyz from the hood are settled with surprisingly little fuss (and even less cussing), while gossip arising from Michael sleeping under the same roof as Collins is neatly folded away like a pair of pyjamas.
Still, wholesome or holier-than-thou, $250m at the US box office suggests that someone got something right. An Oscar for Best Actress suggests what that something might be.
Crowned the day after picking up a Razzie for the unforgivable All About Steve, Bullock has pulled a blinder herself. It's a doughty performance, and worth singling out.
But without her, The Blind Side would undoubtedly be met with the same indifference as every other American sports movie on these shores. And ultimately, it's hard to see what all the fuss is about.

Google has updated the calculator available on the search page. The new version of the calculator has 34 buttons and allows users to perform sine, tangent, cosine, square root, and other scientific functions.
It's also voice-enabled, so users with Chrome on the desktop or mobile versions of the Google search engine can simply say the problem, rather than typing it in.
In a Google+ post announcing the new calculator, Google explained, "Sometimes it's hard to do math quickly in your head, like when you have to figure what 57.55 plus 68.43 divided by two is." They continued, "Now we've redesigned the calculator feature so when you type in an equation, you see an actual scientific calculator, complete with functions like square root and log."
Late last year, Google launched a graphing calculator in search that takes mathematical problems and converts the results to an interactive graph.
Have you tried out the new calculator? Let us know what you think!

Dodge Dart Review
The 2014 Dodge Dart ranks 19 out of 40 Affordable Small Cars. This ranking is based on our analysis of published reviews and test drives of the Dodge Dart, as well as reliability and safety data.
The 2014 Dodge Dart is ranked:
- #19 in Affordable Small Cars
- #12 in Affordable Compact Cars
Most reviewers like the 2014 Dodge Dart's sporty handling, user-friendly tech features and comfortable cabin, but they say rival compacts are faster and get better gas mileage.
Test drivers say that equipped with a four-cylinder engine, the base Dodge Dart is slow to accelerate. Test drivers note that an available turbocharged engine makes the Dart peppier, and a larger four-cylinder engine that's newly standard on the SXT, Limited and GT trims is even stronger. Still, auto writers say that the Dart can't compete with more powerful compact cars in the class. Most reviewers prefer the standard six-speed manual transmission for its precise shifter. Others say that while the available six-speed automatic is generally smooth, it can be slow to downshift when added power is needed. Equipped with an automatic transmission, the base Dart gets an EPA-estimated 24/34 mpg city/highway, which is on the low end of the class. Equipped with a turbocharged 1.4-liter engine, the Dart gets an impressive 28/40 mpg, which is terrific for the class. Most test drivers praise the Dart's steering for being accurate and responsive. The Dart has an above-average safety score and comes standard with 10 air bags, including a driver's knee airbag, which is notable for the class.
The 2014 Dart has an attractive interior made with a blend of soft-touch and hard plastic surfaces that are well-constructed, auto writers say. Several test drivers remark that the cabin offers plenty of space and feels more like a midsize sedan than a compact car. Front seats are supportive and comfy, they say, and there is ample head- and legroom in the back seat. Standard features include a four-speaker audio system and an auxiliary audio jack. Buyers must upgrade to get air conditioning, power door locks and cruise control, which are standard on many rival compacts. Optional features include a USB port, Bluetooth phone streaming, navigation, a backup camera, a nine-speaker Alpine audio system and Dodge's Uconnect infotainment system, which has an 8.4-inch touch screen. Test drivers praise the infotainment system for its simple menus and large touch screen, saying it rivals the best systems in the class.
- "But one thing that's been preserved in translation is that palpable Italian zest for the open road. Unlike most compact cars, the Dodge Dart feels like it was built by people who love to drive, demonstrating ride and handling characteristics that are more befitting of a sport sedan. There's also a real sense of occasion in its tidy sheet metal and sculpted, high-quality interior." -- AutoTrader
- "Considerably heavier than most of its competitors, the Dodge Dart is neither the best-performing nor the most fuel-efficient player in its segment. And buyers who demand either a hybrid or turbodiesel will still have to look to rivals like the Chevy Cruze, Honda Civic, Ford Focus or Volkswagen Jetta." -- Kelley Blue Book
- "The 2013 Dodge Dart offers a lot of space, features and style for the money, while being surprisingly fun to drive. The more efficient and torque-rich turbo engine is the one to get, but no Dart is especially quick." -- Edmunds (2013)
- "The interior and exterior styling might be enough to pull buyers away from other brands. It's quiet. It's comfortable, and fairly well-equipped. It isn't a game-changer, but it is a strong choice for a compact runabout." -- Motor Trend (2013)
Other Cars to Consider
Fully redesigned for 2014, the Mazda Mazda3 gets superb fuel economy for the class, and reviewers say the Mazda3's athletic handling makes it a joy to drive. They're also impressed with the amount of available tech features, which include blind spot monitoring and lane departure warning.
Test drivers say the Ford Focus has an attractive, upscale cabin. It handles nimbly, they add, especially the high-performance ST trim, which comes with a powerful turbocharged engine.

PLAYERS: Tom Lehman, Jack Nicklaus
Jim Flick, a golf instructor for more than 50 years whose clients included Tom Lehman and Jack Nicklaus upon joining the Champions Tour, died Monday of pancreatic cancer, his family said. He was 82. Flick taught golf in 23 countries and directed programs such as Golf Digest's Schools and ESPN Golf Schools. He was director of instruction at Desert Mountain in Scottsdale, Ariz., for 20 years and wrote five books, the most recent one titled, ''Jack Nicklaus, Simply the Best.'' Nicklaus sought out Flick in 1990 to help with his game after his longtime coach, Jack Grout, had died. Lehman spoke to Flick on Sunday before winning the Charles Schwab Cup Championship at Desert Mountain. Funeral arrangements were pending. Flick is survived by his wife, Geri, and five children.

Gerry Anderson, the Creator of Thunderbirds, Died
The man who created The Thunderbirds died the other day. Gerry Anderson passed away peacefully in his sleep.
Here's more:
Anderson's son Jamie said his father died peacefully in his sleep on Wednesday at a nursing home near Oxfordshire, England, after being diagnosed with mixed dementia two years ago.Rest in Peace
His condition had worsened dramatically over the past six months, his son said.
Anderson's television career launched in the 1950s. Once Thunderbirds aired in the 1960s, "Thunderbirds are go!" became a catchphrase for generations. It also introduced the use of "supermarionation" — a puppetry technique using thin wires to control marionettes — and made sci-fi mainstream, according to Jamie Anderson.
"He forever changed the direction of sci-fi entertainment," Jamie said. "Lots of animation and films that have been made in the past 20 or 30 years have been inspired by the work that he did."
