Beth Poulson
Star Consultant
Hello, my name is Beth Poulson and this is my story...I have been in direct sales for many years and since have quit for either extreme boredom or the company being bought out, just an overall lack of interest from family and friends. Maybe deep down I was really looking for a company that I could put my heart and soul into and finally establish the business, I have been longing for...In July of 2011, I visited a festival in Delta, Ohio, and as always, walked through the vendors tent. I came upon a Scentsy consultant and very openly stated, "tell me about your product!" I was very interested in the concept and loved the idea that it did not put toxins on your walls and was safe for children and pets. Immediately I stated that I wanted to book a show and the consultant relunctantly took my information. I repeated several times, "please call me" and she said that she would. (she did not know that I was in direct sales before) I went home and waited for her to respond. In early August, I started receiving emails from her but no phone calls. I figured hey, if she really wanted my booking, she would call me, right? She never called.In the middle of September, my ex-husband's niece instant messaged me, "ever heard of Scentsy?" I chuckled and told her my story. I then quickly booked a show and held it on October 8, 2011 but what I didn't say is, I signed to become a Scentsy consultant on October 7th, after many talks with my sponsor, Cheryl Sanders, whom I have known since she was a little girl. Our paths separated some years ago.Scentsy has done two major things for me... first and most important, allowed me to re-connect with someone that is very important to me and secondly, gave me the oportunity to join a fabulous company that I have been looking for. I believe that I have longed to be in direct sales, just finding the right company, makes all the difference, THANKS SCENTSY!See More

Researchers believe the reason may be due to the way the brain uses glucose as a form of fuel.

The time was right for them to take the plunge. Armando, Paolo, Tiziano and Massimo Castagnedi decided to produce their own wine, becoming vinedressers and earning a name for themselves for their quality and professionalism. It was a real challenge. The decision to plant new vines alongside the existing vineyards and to build a new winery in the Monti Garbi area (which in dialect means "sour" or "hard", demanded courage and a keen business sense: two qualities which the Castagnedi brothers are not short on.
For more than twenty years, while many wine producers were focusing on quantity, the Castagnedi clan rewrote the rulebook, concentrating wholly on quality. Ever since it was established, Tenuta Sant'Antonio has remained faithful to certain principles: tending to the vine branch by branch, carefully handpicking the bunches, low yield per plant, keeping the grapes meticulously clean from when they are picked to when they are taken to the winery and the wine bottled, patiently waiting for the wine to mature in new wooden barrels, ageing in the bottle. View all Tenuta Sant'Antonio Wines
About VenetoView a map of Veneto wineries (vey-NEH-toe)
Notable FactsThe wine of Soave is most common white wine made here. Occasionally you can find an exceptional Soave, but for the most part the wine is easy-drinking and refreshingly pleasant. For the reds, the most popular are Amarone and Valpolicella – both made primarily from the good structured Corvina grape. While Amarone is always made in the recioto method (drying out the grapes to intensify the flavor), Valpolicella has a few different levels. Amarone is made from very ripe grapes, which are then dried and then pressed, producing an opulent, concentrated, full-bodied wine that has a distinctive and powerful taste that stays with you. Not for the lighter fare meal, this wine is almost port-like and delicious with cheese and/or dessert. Valpolicella can also be made in the recioto method, but it's more often found in a dry style – the wine goes up in rank, from Valpolicella to Valpolicella Classico to Valpolicella Classico Superiore. And finally, the bubbly of Veneto – Prosecco. Made from the same-named grape, Prosecco is less fizzy than Champagne and occasionally has a slight sweetness. It's absolutely delicious as a value aperitif.
About Italy
A little ditty about Italy...This country has about as many wines as its had governments. With 20 different regions, hundreds of DOCs and even more indigenous varieties, the amount of wine made in Italy is mind-boggling. Most of the juice, however, remains in the country for thirsty Italians. Wine is food in Italy and its rare that a meal is consumed without a glass of vino. That said, it's not common to find many folks drinking wine without food either. In turn, it's a match, and a mighty good one at that. In fact, it's safe to say that Italian wine is a foodie wine – one that goes on the table for a myraid of meals.
For regions, the most popular are Tuscany (home of Chianti), Piedmont and the Tre-Venezie, which includes Veneto, Trentino Alto-Adige and Friuli. Other communes of note are in Southern Italy, and a few good wines are made elsewhere in the country. The islands of Sardinia and Sicily are members of the Italian winemaking community as well.

Few composers hid such a brilliant light under a bushel as Leo Ornstein.
When his entrancing Piano Quintet is heard Wednesday at the Kimmel Center's Perelman Theater, few will be aware that the concert marks the return of his music to Philadelphia, where it was heard for decades, but perhaps only in his studio.
Though Ornstein arrived in the 1930s as one of the most famous pianists of his day, he departed so quietly in the late 1950s - by choice - that nobody quite knows when he left. His death in 2002 at age 107 (some sources say 109) was noticed, but not widely.

Tourists visit New Orleans to eat, drink and be merry. On every corner there's a place to "do dat". While tourists flock to the world famous restaurants of New Orleans, locals have their favorite neighborhood haunts. That is not to say they don't frequent the more renowned ones, they do; however New Orleans is about neighborhoods and a sense of belonging. Mostly we ate in the Garden District area. Some restaurants there are expensive; some are funky and fun but all are loud! Since I love to eat, the subject of Part III of New Orleans in July will be a few places my son Steve Hemperley's family and I ate on my recent visit.
Early Saturday afternoon when we arrived, everyone else had already eaten or were running errands so Steve took me to GG's Dine-O-Rama located at 3100 Magazine Street. GG's specializes in homemade, fresh and unique recipes made from scratch. They offer fine dining or a casual menu with your choice of seating; inside or out. He and I opted to dine on the sidewalk cooled by a mister fan and watch the activity along Magazine Street. I ordered the St. Patty's Day Massacre which was shaved corned beef, Swiss cheese, French fries, ancho-honey slaw, 1000 Island Dressing, Creole mustard on pumpernickle rye bread. It was huge!! And I would have never thought of placing the home-made fries IN the sandwich. I cannot remember what Steve ordered (probably something health!) but I was on holiday and not counting calories. Mine was delicious and since I wasn't able to eat it all, the rest came home in a doggie bag to be savored at another time.
That night Steve had marinated duck breasts to grill. Tucker made duck poppers by placing cream cheese and a bit of jalapeno pepper inside before wrapping the breast in bacon. Steve grilled them and talk about good!
I taught Max how to make a coconut cake. The cake was drenched in coconut milk and condensed milk and topped with Cool Whip and fresh coconut.
I would give the Hemperley's kitchen a five star rating!
For lunch the next day, Steve, Andrea and I went to Tracey's Bar and Restaurant on the corner of Magazine and Third Street. It specializes in Po-boys, sandwiches, and fried seafood, and sides such as cheese fries, boudin balls, and fried okra, etc. It has been in business since 1949 and is dubbed The Original Irish Channel Bar.
The ceiling is covered in New Orleans decorated umbrellas. The World Cup Soccer final game was drawing a huge crowd who had come to watch on one of the 20 TVs that show nothing but sporting events. We opted to finishing watching the game at home.
On Monday, Tucker, Max and I had lunch at The American Sector Restaurant of the World War II Museum where Chef John Besh puts his twist on American cooking.
That night the family went out to Pascal's Manale, a restaurant known as the "Home of the Original BBQ Shrimp". Located at 1838 Napoleon Avenue, it specializes in seafood, Italian dishes and steaks.
From Pascal's Manale Restaurant & Bar website
Andrea and Max at Pascal's Manale
Dinner began with an appetizer of oysters on the half-shell. Some in the group ate steak, veal, or BBQ shrimp. I opted for Chicken Bordelaise. Max and I finished off dinner with a scrumptious bread pudding.
Andrea invited the boys and me to meet her for lunch at the Weston Hotel in Canal Place on Tuesday. The River 127 located on the 11th floor has a spectacular view of the river with barges, paddle wheels, and other river traffic. I had intended to make lots of pictures however as soon as we were seated a squall came through and the magic of the moment was gone! Following a delicious lunch, Tucker, Max and I headed for the nearby Audubon Butterfly Garden and Insectarium where we learned about the most ferocious diner in New Orleans…… the almighty Termite!!!
Before heading home, we stopped on St. Charles Avenue for pralines.
That night we ate at Dat Dog on Foret where Emy works. It is such a fun place, bright and colorful with any type of hotdog you can imagine. None of which you would find in North Louisiana!
From Feret-Dat Dog website
Their menu is imaginative with vegan, spicy chipotle, turducken, duck, crawfish and alligator among other specialties. The night we were there was Trivia night and the place was jumping!
Max's Alligator Dog
Cheese Fries, anyone?
Or something from the bar?
By Wednesday I was pooped and opted to stay home and rest. Emy and Tucker told me that some of their fondest memories had been that of eating chicken and dumplings at my house when I lived in Covington. I rested most of the day and then prepared a huge pot of chicken and dumplings with a salad for dinner. It must have been good since there was none left.
The next night, Steve grilled venison burgers for a couple of Emy and Tucker's friends and the rest of the family. Needless to say it was another gastronomic delight.
Wow! What a food binge I had been on! If you would like an and epicurean experience such as this, then try New Orleans 'cause dat's the place to do it!

Jimmy Clyde Stanley was born July 30, 1933 in Ida, Louisiana to Clyde Henry and Mamie Martin Stanley. He was the first of six children and easily accepted the role of big brother to the rest of us. He was a mover and a shaker before his time; meaning he was often the instigator of the antics of his two brothers and me (our two other sisters came along much later). Mostly he was the one that was the most daring of the group, such as the time he wanted to be Captain Marvel. He draped himself in one of Mother's tablecloths to use as a cape, climbed the roof of our garage and bailed off thinking he could fly! Luckily the only thing broken was his pride and he lived to dream up some other new adventure.
Jim (also nicknamed Coot or Pete) attended school in Bivins, Texas prior to our moving to Atlanta, Texas. In Bivins he was in a school play and in Atlanta he was an Atlanta Rabbit (football team) member.
He first worked as a life guard at the Atlanta public swimming pool and later at Meyers' Department Store. His outgoing personality, smile, and the ability to sell you the Brooklyn Bridge was well suited for his occupation of sales or public relations with the exception of a few years he spent working in the oilfields in Odessa and Ganado, Texas. While working in Odessa he received a good samaritan award from the Texas Highway Department for assisting someone in need. Following that he served as district manager for American Built Homes in Texarkana, and Baton Rouge. Later in the Houston area he owned his own construction and remodeling business.
Jim's first marriage was to Mildred Eva Howard of Texarkana. They were married on November 21, 1952. Prior to their divorce in January 1980 they became parents of Brenda Jane, Jimmy Lanier, Eva Carol and Scott Howard. Eva Carol died at birth.
While he and Mildred, who had now changed her name to Toni, were living in the Nassau Bay, Texas area he learned to love boating. Below are photos of a couple of his boats appropriately named the Phoni-Toni.
In March of 1980 Jim remarried Patsy Jean Miller. Jim's new brother-in-law was an owner of Evangeline Downs in Opelousas, Louisiana and also owned an oil refinery in Venezuela. He soon became general manager of the track and Commissioned Deputy Sheriff for Acadia Parish form 1988-1992. He often traveled to Venezuela on business.
Jim married a third time to Denise Milsap and lived in Mobile, Mississippi for a while. No children were born of the second or third marriages.
He was a true Leo with a zest for life, warm spirit, confident, generous and loyal. He loved the finer things in life such as clothes, cars, boats and beautiful women. However a good joke or a heated game of Rook with his mother against other family members, were also indulgences he enjoyed. He was most generous with his parents and loved to take them out to dine or for a day on the bay in one of his boats.
The two greatest pleasures in his life were his children and grandchildren. He was giving, loving, and always there for them.
Jim passed away on March 1, 2009 of complications from Myasthenia Gravis and is buried in Vivian, Louisiana along- side his parents.
Happy Birthday, Brother! We still miss you!
When Steve and I began plans for my trip, he asked if there were things I wanted to do; places I wanted to re-visit; or explore for the first time. My immediate reply was "The World War II Museum". Asking if he thought my grandsons, Tucker and Max, would want to go with me he said he wasn't sure about Tucker, but that Tucker would be my assigned chauffer while I was visiting and could take me. He thought Max would love to go. Much to my surprise when I spoke with both boys they were eager to go with me!
Monday, July 14th the three of us set out in Tucker's truck under threatening skies for the corner of Andrew Higgins Boulevard and Magazine Street where the museum is located. After parking a few drops of rain began falling and I thought, it's going to be another hot humid day in New Orleans and I, for one, was glad we were going to be inside! Plus, since it was a Monday and raining, there shouldn't be too many tourists.
Across the street, there it stood! Homage to all whose lives were lost or fought to insure freedom……… a repository of history, life's tragedies, stories recorded, and items preserved so that the deadliest war in history would never be forgotten.
The museum, which was opened on June 6, 2000, consists of three buildings. It is currently the most visited attraction in New Orleans. The Liberation Pavilion is not open to the public at this time but will have three floors dedicated to the closing months of the war and the post war years.
We briefly met Steve, who was having a business meeting at The American Sector Restaurant, a Chef John Besh restaurant where he puts his twist on American food. Steve greeted us and soon after left as his associates arrived. He looked dapper in his tan summer suit. Max commented he was the only one in the group not wearing a dark suit. Tucker said we would now get to see Steve working in "business mode" rather than his "Dad" role and laughed! This was going to be a fun day!
After a delicious meal we set off to explore the three buildings that comprise the museum and to purchase tickets for the museum and the movie Beyond All Boundaries. The movie would not start for another hour so we had time to explore the U. S. Freedom Pavilion/The Boeing Center and the Gift Shop.
The Boeing Center has displays of the B17, B25, B24, TBM Avenger, F4U Corsair, Mustang 51 and Sherman tanks. I am sorry to say that due to the number of visitors, taking good photos would have been difficult therefore some of the ones below are from www.wikipedia.com.

From Wikipedia.com
Crossing the street to the next exhibits we discover this German Air Raid Shelter which looks as if it would be too small for an average size person.
Once inside, we discover veterans of World War II located at tables in intervals around the bottom floor eager to share their experiences and roles in the war. Stop and visit and they will enlighten you with photos, maps and their first hand knowledge of particular campaigns. There is also the Train Car Experience which depicts farewells and returns of soldiers and their families.
Upstairs is a maze and so much to see, not only from the United States but other countries as well. Rifles, handguns, uniforms, rations, tires, personal histories on tape, letters home, and so much more that I cannot even begin to share it all with you. In fact I can't due to not being able to get into some areas for the other people there.
Soon it was time to enter The Solomon Victory Theater, home to Beyond All Boundaries, a 4 D movie narrated by Tom Hanks. I have to say that normally I do not like 3 D movies and was anxious about sitting through this one but I must add that it was the most spectacular thing I have experienced in many years! Of course the theater is total darkness and then goes through a multitude of exciting effects. The first loud bomb noise startled Max (who will soon be 13) out of his seat. In fact it did it several times! The gentlemen seated next to him asked if he was okay.
Lights flash, fog rolls in, and chairs begin to tremble at certain dramatic events during the movie. At one point a German Stalag guard house rises from the floor. In total darkness a search light canvasses the audience. Not a sound is heard other than a siren blasting. A gun turret emerges spitting out rounds and smoke in every direction. Your chair, which has had slight movement and coordinated with the actions being shown, begins to shake even more. I can only say it is a dramatic experience and Tom Hanks does a fabulous job in narration! But above all, it is a powerful documentation of the cost of freedom about over 400,000 soldiers who lost their lives that were Americans. Estimates of those who lost their lives in the war, from sickness related to the war, by the gas chambers, or who were civilians is believed to be at least 600 million!! Yes, that's millions!
I had hoped there might be an opportunity to learn more about some of my fallen relatives or those who served in this terrible war. If the resources are there, I didn't find them. However it you are interested in research on a family member who served in World War II, you will find this website helpful: http://www.nationalww2museum.org/honor/research-a-veteran.html.
For more information, I am including a map of The National WW II Museum below:
Outside the storm had passed and the temperature and humidity had risen to intense extremes. My hair was instantaneous a mass of frizz. Suddenly I was aware of being in dire need of a snow ball!!!! And Tucker knew where we could find a snow ball stand not far from home.
When Steve came home from work that day, each of us shared our experience. It was wonderful to hear these two boys tell their dad about our outing. Max ended by saying Steve was the only one not in a dark suit when he met his business associates at the restaurant. I couldn't help but laugh! It was meaningful to have made a memory, a good laugh and shared it with Tucker and Max.
Who knew what tomorrow would bring? Wait! Didn't I say that at the end of Road Trips: New Orleans in July, Part I? Ah, but you will soon know when I post Road Trips: New Orleans in July, Part III.
Through the years I have been to New Orleans many times and on each trip, the experience has been totally different. There is always something to do; a new dining experience; old favorites to revisit or new memories to be made. Recently when my son, Steve, called to ask if I would come for a weeklong visit with his family, my immediate response was "Come and get me!" Only on this trip my time in New Orleans would be different. There would be no Bourbon Street bars, no beinets at Café Du Monde, no Audubon Zoo, nor Aquarium, no French Market, no strolls down Royal Street, no Super Dome……. It was to be more, specifically time with Steve and his family, wife Andrea Tanet Hemperley, and children, Emy, Tucker and Max. And, oh yes, his hairy kids, Cane, an English Lab and that funny, spunky Cairne Terrier named Jax.
Steve lives in the Garden District of New Orleans and while he is just a few blocks off St. Charles Avenue, he had told me of the walking tours that passed on his street visiting the historic district which is a mecca for some of the most beautiful homes in the city. Originally the wealthier citizens who did not want to live in the French Quarter with the Creoles lived on plantations with large tracts for their homes featuring beautiful gardens; thus the name, Garden District. Today the district is known for the beautiful architecturally designed homes which are on much smaller lots with manicured yards, cast iron fences and majestic oak trees.
Sunday morning found most everyone sleeping in; that is everyone but Steve, Jax and I. The morning was cool (unlike most days which are horribly hot due to humidity) so I decided Jax and I would take a stroll.
Jax was comfortably resting on the sofa until the leash came out and boy did he know what that meant! Out the door, we began our walk on Prytania Street which is home for celebrities Drew Brees, Anne Rice, Nicholas Cage, and the Mannings, Eli, Peyton and Archie. While I don't know the addresses of these people, Sandra Bullock maintains a residence within sight of Steve's "stoop".
Most of the homes are of Gothic Revival style; many have beautiful gingerbread trim; most have oaks that have endured hurricanes for years. Homes with iron fences and bright colors are also along our route. Here are a few photos of homes Jax and I passed on our stroll.
Although difficult to see in this photo this home has a playhouse built like a castle in the back.
Susie Higginbotham has been researching someone in her family tree that, according to a census, lived on St. Charles Avenue. I was able to locate that home for her.
Back on Fourth Street I discovered this cornstalk and morning glory designed iron fence and while I failed to notice the first walk by, it actually had corn growing in a small portion of the fence.
The lot the cornstalk fence surrounds actually has more than one home; one of Gothic Revival and this modern home. Many of the historic homes have placques that displays the original owner's name, date built, and other pertinent information. Below is a photo of the one by the cornstalk fence.
Translated it reads: Colonel Short's Villa built in 1859 for Colonel Robert H. Short of Kentucky, Commission Merchant. Henry Howard, Architect, Robert Huyghe, Builder. In 1832 this property, which was a part of the Livaudais Plantation, was subdivided into city squares. September 1, 1863 the house was seized by the Federal Forces occupying the city property of an absent Rebel. In March 1864 the house briefly served as the executive mansion of the newly elected Federal Governor of Louisiana, Michael Hahn. It then became the residence of Major General Nathaniel P. Banks, U. S. Commander, Department of the Gulf. On August 15, 1865 the house was returned to Colonel Short by the U. S. Government and he lived in it until his death in 1890. An addition was made in 1906 and the house restored in 1950. The unusual cast iron morning glory and cornstalk fence was furnished by the Philadelphia Foundry of Wood and Miltenberger.
Jax and I also passed one of the Cities of the Dead, Lafayette Cemetery #1 which opened in 1833. Burials here are in wall vaults as is the case in most areas of South Louisiana due to the water table being so high. Anne Rice created a fictional tomb here for one of her books. She also staged a jazz funeral where she rode in a glass enclosed coffin down the aisle of the cemetery to introduce her book, Memnoch the Devil. The movies Double Jeopardy and Dracula 2000 were filmed within the cemetery. Musical videos by LeAnn Rimes and New Kids on the Block were also made at Lafayette Cemetery #1.
Back home after our long walk, Jax drank lots of water and then curled up on the couch with Steve, who was sleeping, for a nice long nap.
I got another cup of coffee and reflected on what a beautiful day it was. We had seen tourist snapping photos along the route, joggers, dog walkers, and passed a coffee shop where customers sat outside reading the paper or having breakfast. How nice it had been to see another side of New Orleans. Who knew what tomorrow would bring? Ah, but you will soon know when I post Road Trips: New Orleans in July, Part II.
Today, June 19, 2014, marks the 38th anniversary of my sister Linda Kay (Kitty) Stanley and husband, E. Dale LeBlanc. They were married at St. Clement Catholic Church in Vivian, Louisiana.
The celebration began the day before when we dug a hole in my back yard to have a cochon de lait. It was a daunting task due to the fact that the backhoe digging the pit for the pig cut the gas line to my house. After repairing that, the cooking and celebration began. Many of Dale's family and friends came from South Louisiana that night and celebrated with everyone. Then the rain began! And it rained all night. How would we ever get the pig roasted in time to feed all the guests by noon?
Family friend Betty Hall called early the day of the wedding to say she was making a novena. Sure enough the clouds disappeared, the rain stopped, the pig was thrown back in the pit and everyone ate at noon. Then the party began!
Following the 4:00 PM wedding all the guests returned to my house to continue the merrymaking. Some of Dale's Cajun relatives sang Jolie Blonde and other songs in French. Others continued to eat. Many celebrated with libations. When the newlyweds left for their honeymoon, many lingered and the merriment lasted until midnight!
Andrew Simpson "Simpy" Hemperley was one of ten children born to Edward P. Hemperley and Malinda Foster in Georgia. In the 1850 Census the family resided in the Twenty-ninth District of Fayette County, Georgia. Edward P. is listed as a farmer with real estate valued at $1,450.
On May 16, 1852 Andrew married Miss Louise Catherine Dodd in Fayette County, Georgia. The marriage was performed by Louise's father, John Sample Dodd, a prominent Baptist preacher.
Of this marriage there were four children born: Nancy M., Priscilla M., Sarah Levonia and Jefferson Beauregard Hemperley. From A History of Doddridge, Spring Bank, and the Other Communities of Sulphur Township Arkansas by Charles Wesley Bigby much is written about the Hemperley families that lived in the area. What is known is that: in 1856, prior to the Civil War Andrew and Louise moved to Bright Star, Arkansas. In 1859 they had acquired eighty acres of land as proven by the deed below.
The following year they acquired an additional eighty acres.
In a letter written by Andrew's son Beauregard he tells of how their home was built with logs and penned and keyed with no nails. It had a fireplace which was used not only for heating but also where Louise prepared all of their meals.
On March 3, 1862 Andrew enlisted in the 20th Arkansas Infantry, Company K in Lafayette County. His records show that he was a 5th Sergeant. By October the unit was engaged in fighting around Vicksburg, Mississippi. Records show that on the 4th of October 1862 he had been wounded and taken prisoner at Corinth, Mississippi.
In another document he was to be paroled and taken to Columbus, Kentucky from Corinth. However in the paroled section it lists "not stated".
From my research I have learned many of the healthier prisoners captured in that area were transported to prisons in other areas of the United States. Some of those infirmed were released to get home any way they could while others remained in hospitals. Since Andrew is buried in Vicksburg, I am lead to believe he was never sent to prison elsewhere.
In July 1862 Congress gave the President of the United States the right to purchase land for cemeteries "for soldiers who shall die in the service of their country." It was also determined that Confederate soldiers and sailors were fighting in rebellion and would not be allowed to be buried in a Nation Cemetery. Therefore only Union soldiers and sailors are buried in the Vicksburg National Cemetery with the Confederates being buried in nearby Soldier's Rest, a section of Cedar Hill Cemetery.
Below are some photos from the Vicksburg National Park.
Also in the letter Beauregard wrote he tells of hard times following his father's death. His mother fed them one winter on sweet potatoes; on Sunday mornings or when they had company she would make biscuits to go with them. She spun, corded and wove the cloth for their clothing, they ate game from the nearby woods, but she never returned to Georgia.
In writing this post I am thinking of our family's Confederate hero but also of heroes lost in all the wars since Andrew's death. I am also reminded of the unsung heroes, the wives who have kept families together at all cost, no matter their sacrifices. Perhaps it's those ladies who deserve recognition, gold stars or a special hug.
Don, Steve and Kelly Hemperley, pictured in May 1969, on the day Kelly graduated from kindergarten. Little did we know she had the mumps!!! After her snuggling with Don, he too came down with them. We always taught our children that sharing was a good thing; this time it wasn't! Kelly made a quick recovery however Don was very sick and we thought he was going to have to go into the hospital!
On this Monday, Memorial Day, May 26, 2014, I have chosen to honor Chief Master Sergeant Thomas Bryant Brown, born July 8, 1935 in Texarkana, Arkansas to Barron Scott Brown and Grace May Bryant Brown. Tom's mother, who had already had a daughter, Barbra Ann and a son, John, died at his birth. His father passed away three years later. Tom was raised by his grandparents, Scott Preston Brown and Leah Templeton Brown in Doddridge, Arkansas who were already getting on years, him seventy and her fifty-nine years.
Tom attended school in Bright Star, Arkansas graduating in 1953. He played basketball and was vice president of the senior class. In a booklet for the fifty year reunion he said his fondest memory of Bright Star High School was "When Cecil Morris (the superintendent) gave me my diploma. I had doubts about getting one."
Tom enlisted in the Air Force in 1954 and served twenty-four years before retiring. The bases he was stationed at were Schilling AFB in Salina, Kansas; Little Rock AFB in Little Rock, Arkansas; Ellsworth AFB in South Dakota; Altus AFB in Oklahoma; Anderson AFB on Guam and Blythville AFB in Blythville, Arkansas.
While stationed at Schilling he met Wanda June McDaneld at the First Free United Methodist Church. They were married on May 26, 1957.
Tom began his career as an aircraft technician, more commonly known as a mechanic. He worked on B47s until the B52 made its debut and later the KC 135. He became a crew chief having as many as many as twenty planes to insure were mechanically sound for flight. His crew followed the planes wherever their missions went. While a crew chief he spent three tours in Thailand and more than a couple on Guam. On another occasion when a plane had problems in Viet Nam he and his crew had to fly in, repair the plane and fly out of the area. He later said that was the scariest day he spent in service.
I am not sure if this photo depicts receiving a medal as it is not marked, however as you can see in the photo below of his uniform jacket, he received the Bronze Star; the USAF Outstanding Unit Award; the AF Good Conduct Medal; the Commendation Ribbon; the Army Good Conduct Medal/Ribbon; the National Defense Service Medal; the Viet Nam Service Ribbon; the USAF Longevity Service Ribbon; the USAF NCO Professional Military Educate Graduate; and the Republic of Viet Nam Campaign Ribbon.
Here's another photo of Tom (second from the right on bottom row) with other unidentified service members:
Tom and Wanda had three girls, namely Tammy Jo, Sandra June, Barbra Leigh and one son, Scott Preston (who also happens to be my son-in-law) named for Tom's grandfather. A lot of the time while Tom was in service, Wanda was left in the states to raise the children and have as much as possible a normal family life without the children's dad. Many times I would tell Tom what a fine family he had raised to which his standard answer was, "Well you better praise Wanda; I was always gone".
Following his retirement the family moved to Jefferson, Texas to be near his uncle and aunt, Rabb and Ione Bryant, where he worked for the Marion County Tax Assessor's office. He was a member of the Retired Enlisted Association and annually made a trip to Branson, Missouri to attend the reunion of the 44th Bombardment Wing. Tom loved to fish and quite often would take enough fish to fry for all those in attendance, not to mention epic sized fish fries for Bright Star reunions and family get togethers.
He was a loving husband and father whose biggest smiles came while being with and doing for those he loved. Most of the time he wore an Air Force cap covering his red hair; all the time he had a kind word and a warm hug for you!
Thomas Bryant Brown passed away in Shreveport, Louisiana on August 17, 2011 in Shreveport, Louisiana. He was buried with military honors at Old Foundry Cemetery, Lodi, Texas beside his wife of forty-two years, Wanda June McDaneld.

Blacks find pluses, minuses
King holiday tests Utahns' commitment to diversity
The feeling of being a distinct minority is never far away in a valley where 1 in 200 people is black and in a state where none of the 104 members of the Legislature is African-
American, none of the police officers in Provo, which has 93, and Orem, with 88, is black, and of the 138 members of city and town councils in Utah Valley, one is African-American.
At a Provo/Orem Chamber of Commerce meeting earlier this month, not a single black was among the 115 businesswomen and men who ate lunch together at the Provo Marriott and heard annual reports from the cities' mayors.
A door prize given out after the chamber luncheon took aim at the lack of diversity. The prize was former NBA star Charles Barkley's book, "Who's Afraid of a Large Black Man?" Bob Craghead of Intrinsic Motivators gave away the book to advertise a race and diversity workshop he is about to launch for business people.
"White people don't think about race here because they don't have to," Craghead said. "But when you deal with it daily, it beats you down and it's tough."
Craghead agreed with Brigham Young University professor Cardell Jacobson's statement that whites have to work on helping other whites stamp out racism or ignorance or insensitivity because when blacks complain, the messages sometimes are discounted by whites as coming from "an angry black man."
"I had a friend who came to me just furious," Craghead said. "He told me he'd just been pulled over by police for the sixth time that week. He said, 'Can you feel my pain?' I had to tell him no. We know racism means looking at people as inferior and we don't like to feel like we do that, but the problem is that as soon as you feel, 'I understand, I get it, I don't do that,' that's when you have to be careful. These are issues we'll deal with the rest of our lives, and we need to continue to question assumptions about race."
Craghead said when he started to look for instances of whites in Utah County treating people of color differently, he began to see frequently what many blacks and Latinos long have claimed is a problem. Store employees following them. The assumption that all young blacks are here to play sports at BYU, or to visit, or to attend school. Cart checkers at warehouse stores checking the receipts of minority shoppers in detail while brushing over those of whites.
"We have a tendency to stereotype people of color," Craghead said. "In his book, Barkley said the problem is that we don't associate with each other, have dinner together. Those people of color I've taken the time to get to know, not one has fit the stereotypes."
Smith, the Provo mom who was fired for standing up to racism at her Utah County workplace, called the incident ugly and hurtful. She said the business owner told her that if she tried to sue, which she never considered doing, she couldn't win with a Utah County jury.
"That left a really bitter taste in my mouth, but I don't believe it's true, either. I don't think they really know the people here. It's changing and people are more sensitive."
In fact, Smith said that despite continuing incidents where the most hurtful racial slurs have been hurled at her children, her family also enjoys privileges here because it is unusual.
"My kids have celebrity status at school," she said. One, Vanna, a starting guard on the Provo High girl's basketball team, is the student-body president. Her sister Vera is the vice president and another sister, Maykela, is the junior class president.
"That's unheard of," Smith said. "That's unrealistic. I keep telling them that in the real world, if they went to California, they'd just be another black kid in the school. So it's bittersweet."
Craghead hadn't heard of the Smiths when he described the phenomenon. "They're not celebrities," Craghead said, "but researchers call them 'the exotic others.'"

Tottenham Hotspur's record signing Roberto Soldado scored the only goal of the game as they beat Premier League new boys Crystal Palace 1-0 at Selhurst Park.
The Spanish striker, signed from Valencia for £26 million this summer, calmly placed home a penalty in the 50th minute after Dean Moxey had handled a cross from Aaron Lennon.
Tottenham also gave full debuts to Paulinho and Nacer Chadli, while Etienne Capoue came off the bench as they unleashed £59m worth of new talent.
They dominated possession throughout the game but struggled to create too many chances without the injured and possibly Real Madrid-bound Gareth Bale linking their attack and midfield.
However, they were still full value for the victory against a Palace side that huffed and puffed but lacked class.
Indeed Palace's only really decent effort on goal came in the 89th minute when Hugo Lloris made an excellent double save from Kagisho Dikgacoi after the South African midfielder had been found by Kevin Phillips's knock down.
Phillips had come on midway through the second-half as Ian Hollaway made a treble substitution to try and turn around the game and in the process became the third oldest Premier League outfielder of all time after Teddy Sheringham and Gordon Strachan.
PRE-MATCH : No Bale, New Spurs – Wantaway Bale was out with a foot injury but Tottenham did start £50m worth of new talent with Paulinho (£17m), Chadli (£7m) and record signing Soldado (£26m) all in the first XI: Dwight Gayle was selected to make his Palace debut but was the only new face as Ian Holloway mainly stuck with the men that got them promoted.
35' SAVE: The best moment of an uninspired first half comes as Gylfi Siguardsson spins well outside the box and fires a superb shot on target only to see an alert Julian Speroni push it over the bar.
50' GOAL: Soldado gets his first goal for Tottenham from the penalty spot as he calmly sends Speroni the wrong way afterMoxey had handled a cross from Lennon. It is Tottenham's first converted penalty in the Premier League since May 2012.
66' LANDMARK: Kevin Phillips at the age of 40 becomes the third oldest outfield player in Premier League history (behind Teddy Sheringham and Gordon Strachan) as he comes on as part of a triple substitution.
89' DOUBLE SAVE: Lloris makes sure Tottenham clinch the three points as he makes two saves from Dikgacoi, the first one particularly impressive. They were the first saves the Frenchman had to make all day but his sweeping up at the back was impressive throughout.
TALKING POINT: How will Tottenham cope without Bale? Sure they won and they dominated but they did need a penalty to seal the points. The new signings looked like impressive building blocks but Spurs still need that quality, goal-scoring attacking midfielder to link everything together. If that is not Bale, they must use the funds from his sale to find somebody who can at least partially fill that gap. Palace meanwhile, look plucky but lacking in class. Are they doomed for the drop?
Crystal Palace: Speroni 7; Ward 6, Gabbidon 6, Delaney 6, Moxey 6; Garvan 6, Dikagcoi 7, Jedinak 8; Dobbie 6, Wilbraham 6, Gayle 6. Subs: Williams 6, Phillips 6, Chamakh 6.
Tottenham: Lloris 8; Walker 7, Dawson 6, Vertonghen 8, Rose 7; Dembele 6, Paulinho 8; Lennon 8, Sigurdsson 7, Chadli 7; Soldado 7. Subs: Kaboul 6, Capoue 7, Defoe 7.
Tottenham's goal against Crystal Palace was their first in the league from the penalty spot since 6th May 2012. Drought. (Opta)
Kevin Phillips (40-024) is the 3rd oldest OUTFIELD player in PL history behind Teddy Sheringham (40-272) and Gordon Strachan (40-083). (Infostrada)
Crystal Palace 0-1 Spurs: #CPFC have never won any of their 10 PL HOME matches in AUGUST. Last top flight home win in Aug: 1991. (Infostrada)
Aaron Lennon – Most of Tottenham's good work came down the right and Lennon was lively throughout. It was his cross that led to the penalty.

Un cammino attraverso la Commedia (Purg. 19-28)
When Dante reaches the Garden of Eden in Canto 28, the as-yet-unnamed Matelda describes the two rivers Dante finds there: "On this side it descends and has the power / to take from men the memory of sin. / On the other it restores that of good deeds. / Here it is called Lethe and on the other side / Eno, but its water has no effect / Until they both are tasted" (Purg. 18:127-132).
Un cammino attraverso la Commedia (Purg. 9-18)
Now that we have reached the middle of the Purgatorio and, therefore, the middle of the Commedia as a whole, I can't help but marvel again at how miraculous this poem is. It would be one thing to spin the story Dante spins, another to blend theology and philosophy and political history with narrative the way he does, yet another to mix without confusion and without syncretism the sacred and profane, the Christian and the pagan, as he mixes them, and still yet another to maintain a rhyme scheme and structure of the poem. Yet he does all this at the same time.
Un cammino attraverso la Commedia (Purg. 1-8)
This weekend has been crazier than I thought it would be. Even though I'm up to date with the reading, I haven't had time to put together a post on the beginning of the Purgatorio. I wanted to write about Cato, Virgil, and Sordello, and how each of them carries themes we have seen in the Inferno into the Purgatorio. Dante's journey through Hell was marked by fear and despair. His journey thus far in Purgatory has been marked by hope. Instead of putting all my thoughts together, I've decided to quote two scholars whose insights far exceed mine.
Dante at Verdicts, Inferno 29-34
Ive posted the latest installment of Un cammino attraverso la Commedia over on the Verdicts site. As you'll see, I'm interested in how theInferno ends by not ending. We're onto thePurgatorio! As always, comments welcome.
Un cammino attraverso la Commedia (Inf. 29-34)
I had hoped that I could tie things together in this post. I wanted to bring together some thoughts on Dante's debt to Virgil both as a poet and a guide, on Dantes poetics, and on the fittingness of the punishments that Cassius and Brutus and Judas receive. But I've been rethinking it all the last day or so, and now believe that the strength of an ending comes from the way it defers its own ending.* And I think Dante does that through his use of the word cammino.
Dante at Verdicts, Inferno 21-28
I've posted the latest installment of Uno cammino attraverso la Commedia over on the Verdicts site. My discussion focuses on Ulysses and the tension between one's quest for knowledge and one's duty to family. Please feel free to join our discussion. The post is here.
Un cammino attraverso la Commedia (Inf. 21-28)
In Canto 26, in the eighth malebogia where false counselors suffer their torments, Virgil and Dante meet Diomedes and Ulysses. Dante would have known these Greek heroes through Virgil's Aeneid, where they are involved with the plot for the Trojan Horse, which leads to the fall of Troy. The Horse in the Aeneid serves a role similar to the apple in Genesis. They are both felices culpae that lead to the salvation which comes from Rome and from Christ.
Dante at Verdicts, Inferno 13-20
Uno cammino attraverso la Commedia continues here. Please join our lively discussion. As you'll see, I incorporated comments from last time into my current post. (If Don Draper can read the Inferno, you can too!)
Un cammino attraverso la Commedia (Inf. 13-20)
This is only my third post on the Commedia, but already a little community has formed in the comments. (Of course, I encourage more people to share their thoughts!) To encourage this community, I want to build on two comments I found particularly helpful in my last post. These comments help set up a discussion on how Dante sees his own poetic work, which I think he stresses in these cantos.

WASHINGTON - After a string of security lapses, the Energy Department gave notice Friday that it intends to strip the University of California of its security and some management responsibilities involving nuclear weapons programs at Los Alamos and another government research lab.
Energy Secretary Bill Richardson told the university its contracts for managing the Los Alamos and Lawrence Livermore labs "must be restructured ... to make much-needed improvements to security and other facility operations."
Richardson said in an interview that the university "will still be actively involved" in scientific aspects of the nuclear weapons programs, but some other management responsibilities, especially security, would transferred elsewhere.
The restructuring was expected to be worked out by September as part of a renegotiation of the government's contract with the university, Richardson said. He called the university's performance in managing security at the weapons labs unacceptable.
"The university welcomes the opportunity to work with DOE in this effort and to create a path forward that meets all security needs," Richard Atkinson, the university's president, said in a statement.

SDCC: "Batman: The Killing Joke" Cast & Crew Debuts Film at Comic-Con International
I didn't get this when it came out in pamphlet form, but I picked it up in the trade paperback format that all the kids are raving about. So let's see what's what with this sucker!
Mysterius the Unfathomable is a six-issue mini-series written by Jeff Parker, drawn by Tom Fowler, colored by Dave McCaig, and lettered by Saida Temofonte. It's one of them there Wildstorm comics and has a price tag of $17.99 on it.
I read some mixed reviews about this when it was coming out, but that was for some of the early issues. I never saw anything assessing the entire mini-series, but I figured that Jeff Parker is a good writer, the art looked good, so why wouldn't I get this? And let me tell you, it's pretty darned good. I mean, it won't change your religion or anything, but it's definitely worth checking out.
Mysterius is a magician, obviously, in a world where some people who call themselves magicians actually are, while the others are charlatans. That makes it easy for Mysterius, who actually has some power, to insinuate himself into places where people don't take him seriously and get to the bottom of strange events. He's kind of a psychic detective, and at the beginning of the book, he gets a new assistant – she's a reporter for a tabloid, but Mysterius arranges for her to lose that job so she can work for him. Her name is Ella, but Mysterius insists on calling her Delfi, as that's what all his assistants are called (and he's had quite a few). They meet at a séance for Vic Chesnea, a rich Manhattanite, who wants to get in touch with his dead mother. Meanwhile, at the very beginning of the book, Delfi meets with a potential client and tells the story of the séance in flashback. Chesnea's séance and Gerry Ormond's problem eventually intersect, of course, as Parker weaves the two threads together nicely until he comes to the big finale. There's a dude who wants to become a god, of course, and he must be stopped!!!!
Reading this as a whole, it becomes obvious that Parker is setting things up for the long term. He switches back and forth between Chesnea's and Ormond's problems, doing a nice job keeping them both cooking. Ormond is cursed, and Mysterius figures out why and even who did it, but he gets no further because Chesnea's problem distracts him. Mysterius took Chesnea into the spirit realm with him, and while he was there, something happened that trapped Chesnea there for a time. When he gets back, he's a bit of a basket case … plus he's obsessed with the books of a certain Emil Gaust, who's a Dr. Seuss stand-in. Gaust is apparently placing summoning spells in his books, in the guise of nonsense rhymes, and he lives in a strange realm with all his demons around him. He's sending demons to kill Chesnea, but Mysterius and Delfi manage to get to his realm and close it off. Of course, we know Gaust's realm is going to be important somehow down the road, and it is. But I won't say how!
Parker does a fine job keeping all the threads from spinning out of control. This is a tightly plotted book, and it's nice to have it all in front of you in one place while you're reading. Delfi narrates the story, and she's our POV character, which is fairly important as Mysterius is pretty much a tool. He cheats people, he's rude, and he's cowardly. Parker develops their relationship very well, and Mysterius changes as the book moves along, but so too does Ella. It's not too, too deep because there's so much plot to get to, but Parker has a nice flair for making his characters interact well with each other and a good ear for dialogue, so their revelations don't feel forced. This is a funny comic, too, even with all the nasty stuff that's going on. Mysterius is funny because he's so depraved, but Parker puts in some nice touches, beginning with Emil Gaust himself, that make this fun to read even as demons are trying to strangle our principals. Later, when Mysterius and Delfi (and a bunch of other people) are going to be sacrificed at a Burning Man ceremony, Parker does a good job poking fun at those who participate in Burning Man ceremonies without being too mean about it. This has a good plot, but Parker's deft touch with the characters makes it a good read.
I know I've seen Fowler's art before, but I can't remember where. It's brilliant, actually, so I'll be looking for it now more than before. He gives Mysterius a big gut, which is appropriate considering his long life of indolence, and the other character designs are well done – Delfi, for instance, isn't gorgeous but she isn't ugly. She just looks like a normal person (a bit cartoony, because that's Fowler's style, but still a normal person). Fowler immerses us in this comic, from the mundane world to Emil Gaust's land, which is a riot of craziness and color, a Seussian world turned evil just enough to be unsettling. Fowler's horrors are horrific, but he never lets them overwhelm the charming aspects of the art, and McCaig's colors – again, especially in the Gaust sections – are stunning. Fowler's characters are designed so well that when Delfi finally snaps and tells Mysterius what kind of man he is, both her condemnation and his reaction to it are very powerful. This is a breathtaking book just to look at, even if you skip Parker's words (but why would you do that?).
This sold poorly when it showed up in single issue form, and part of the problem is that it's from Wildstorm. I'm not exactly sure what the point of Wildstorm is anymore except to keep Jim Lee's superheroes from the Image days going, but they continue to publish mini-series like this (and Sparta U. S. A. and Garrison, both of which I'm buying in single issues for no discernible reason) that seem tailor-made for trade-waiting – these are completely self-contained, they don't tie in with any other comic, and they tell a complete story in one trade. I'm not sure why something like this wasn't through Vertigo – there's a bit of swearing that is grawlixed for delicate ears, and there's quite a bit of nudity that is blocked by strategically placed arms and other impediments. It doesn't seem to have any reason to come from Wildstorm, where you can't curse and show naked bodies, rather than Vertigo, where you can. Some of the naked bodies are men and even Vertigo books often shy away from showing the twig and berries in all their glory, but there's quite a bit that could be shown if this was a Vertigo book. I can't imagine its sales figures would have been any worse if it was a Vertigo book. Maybe they would have been. Either way, I can certainly see why people would skip this in single-issue format. Now there's a trade. Go buy it!
I shouldn't have been surprised that this was so good, because Parker is a very good writer, but I was – well, a bit. It's a groovy story with tremendous art, and it's more complex than you might expect. Give it a look now that it's in one handy package!
I picked up the trade recently as well, and thought it was brilliant.

I bought this in single issues, back when I was in the weekly habit, and liked it okay. Fowler's cartooning takes some getting used to, but once you get into the vibe, it is excellent work. Parker story was clever. Reading it episodically, the threads got a bit lost in one another. I need to revisit it in one sitting, but I think I would second your recommendation for reading it that way.
Really like the design of the trade cover (that is what you posted up there, right?). It's interesting that it has that "Mysterious Mysteries" logo – I wonder if trade sales are strong enough to justify future outings? I'm leery of another John Constantine/Felix Castor/Harry Dresden "magical bastard" lead, but Parker set up a different enough universe here that I would check out further explorations of it.
On the "wtf Wildstorm?" topic, I sort of think of them as a mini-Image. They seem to be 60% keeping the Authority in print, 40% self-contained creator owned stuff. And the latter are often quite good (I liked this and North 40 quite a bit, off the top of my head) – so if they can just figure out how to market them in order to keep publishing them, I'm cool with it.

I've been curious about this for a while and, like yourself, I could not find reviews of the whole mini. I'm really glad you reviewed it because now it's on my list!
Whatsup Greg, love your reviews and enjoy reading them week to week.Good stuff.Agree with all you said about this Mini Series.I too was on the look out for Fowler's other work after reading this awhile back. I couldn't find too much but one off the top of my head that was really enjoyable was a one-off story written by Wilingham in Legends of the Dark Knight #168.A clever story with a nice touch of dark humor.
"They seem to be 60% keeping the Authority in print, 40% self-contained creator owned stuff."
They publish a lot of video game tie-in stuff, so you may need to adjust your maths a bit. It is a weird imprint these days. It's hard to believe they were publishing some really cutting edge superhero stuff 10 years ago. That said, I'll take more Jeff Parker where I can get it, especially on a creator owned joint.
True, true…the maths were a bit of statistical hyperbole, anyway. Perhaps the licensed properties are how they continue to finance the creator-owned stuff? Anyway, like we all said, however it works that we get more Parker, etc…
[…] bit off topic, CSBG also reviews Mysterius the Unfathomable. It was a fun fantasy/horror/comedy miniseries last year, and is now available as a trade […]

Is it possible to configure in the same NIC a VIP and a private IP (different) and both be enabled/accesible?
If yes, is there a guarantee that the communication path for these 2 IPs will be exactly the same?
Update: If this is possible, if I e.g. do a
ping (or
traceroute) from a specific machine will I always have the same route for both these 2 IPs?
Is it possible to configure in the same NIC a VIP and a private IP (different) and both be enabled/accesible?
You can have as many virtual IPs on the same physical device. On Linux you can create virtual interfaces for an IP (mostly) like this:
or via
The route for every IP can be determined independently. Every IP can have a different default route. But you can ping in and out from every of this IPs
Having multiple IPs on a NIC is not an issue at all. You can use regular tools like
The switch where your nic is connected will broadcast a "who has IP a.b.c.d" and your NIC will respond if it is one of the IPs it has. Receiving packets is not an issue.
The outgoing packets, however, are a different story. In response to a ping, the outgoing packet's source IP will be determined from the routing table (

While ago I've installed Windows XP on my "fail-safe" eSATA flash drive. The installation is a little customized (this might be the cause of the problem).
The problem is that when I connect new device to PC and boot from that flash drive, it displays "New hardware" dialog for each device, where I have to click ok-ok-ok to load default or already installed drivers.
It happens even when I switch USB ports of mouse or keyboard.
Obviously, when both kbd & mouse are in different ports, I cannot click [ok] :-) Earlier I was kinda fixing this by attaching PS/2 keyboard, but right now I don't have one.
Is there something in registry to have it install default drivers for everything automatically without dialogues?

The camera, while better than expected, has some weak spots, the first being the app itself. Unfortunately, the camera and gallery apps only operate in landscape mode, which is frustrating. There are also fewer options and settings than on other Android phones, including Samsung's. There are six shooting modes, including panorama, the fun cartoon mode, and the bizarre "add me" mode, which attempts to combine the contents of one frame with those of another. There are twelve scene modes, like night, indoor, sports, and backlight. There's blink detection and five white balance settings, but just four effects.
Camera quality is getting better and better, and for a flashless 3-megapixel camera, the Illusion's isn't bad, even for well-lit indoor shots. Colors were notably washed out, however, and there is some instance of blurring. Not all edges were distinct. Outdoor shots were usually better, thanks to more ambient light, though they still lacked a lot of sharpness and color accuracy. Video played back smoothly using the same camera lens, without jerkiness or stuttering. It took the camcorder a beat or two to resolve the color profile when panning from one scene to another. There's 2GB of internal storage on the Illusion, with a 2GB card preinstalled and capacity for up to 32GB total.
I tested the dual-band (CDMA 800/1900) Samsung Illusion in the San Francisco Bay Area on Verizon's network. Call quality was more than fair overall, though there were faults. Volume was very loud, and I heard a high, persistent reverberation whenever I initiated a call. This often echoed in the ringtone, and in the voice on the other line, at least at the beginning of the conversation. The high-tone buzz often disappeared after time. Voices sounded pretty natural, though there were moments when the network distortion kicked in and voices sounded digitized. There wasn't any background noise, however.
On their end of the line, callers said I sounded OK, but not fully natural. Volume was nice and loud, and callers didn't hear any distortion.
Samsung Illusion call quality sample
Listen now:
Speakerphone volume was much quieter, and I had to notch it up a bit to hear clearly. While a little hollow, it also sounded pretty good. Our callers said speakerphone sounded a little muffled, but generally good. While intelligible, they said my voice didn't sound quite natural--to the point that if I didn't identify myself, it might not be clear it was me calling. The Illusion has a 1GHz Qualcomm Hummingbird processor, which certainly isn't the fastest on the market, but it's definitely acceptable. Apps loaded quickly, and there wasn't any navigational lag.
As for data speeds, the phone rides Verizon's 3G network. CNET's mobile-optimized site loaded in 9.2 seconds, with the full site loading in 21 seconds. Even faster was the New York Times mobile site, which loaded in about 5.5 seconds. About 16 seconds later, the full desktop site finished loading. In addition to real world tests, I also ran diagnostics from Ookla's Speedtest.net. Speeds ranged from 0.36Mbps down at the lowest to 1.51 at the highest, and from 0.86Mbps for upload speeds to 1.03Mbps. The Illusion has a rated talk time of up to 6 hours and up to 10.4 days of standby time on its 1,500mAh battery. According to FCC's radio frequency tests, the Illusion has a digital SAR of 0.62 watt per kilogram.
The Samsung Illusion is a decent little Android Gingerbread phone that won't cost an arm and a leg. Every aspect, from the design to the hardware features to the call quality, works relatively as it should. However, while there are few surprises, there's also little to set the Illusion apart from its midtier peers. Drawbacks do exist in places like the camera software and the hollow tone I hear when placing calls and speaking, but for me those more negative traits alone won't spoil the soup. However, there may be other phones to consider for the $79.99 price, like the 4G-capable Pantech Breakout, for example.

A number of studies have investigated several aspects of feasibility and validity of performance assessments with virtual reality surgical simulators. However, the validity of performance assessments is limited by the reliability of such measurements, and some issues of reliability still need to be addressed. This study aimed to evaluate the hypothesis that test subjects show logarithmic performance curves on repetitive trials for a component task of laparoscopic cholecystectomy on a virtual reality simulator, and that interindividual differences in performance after considerable training are significant. According to kinesiologic theory, logarithmic performance curves are expected and an individual's learning capacity for a specific task can be extrapolated, allowing quantification of a person's innate ability to develop task-specific skills.
In this study, 20 medical students at the University of Basel Medical School performed five trials of a standardized task on the LS 500 virtual reality simulator for laparoscopic surgery. Task completion time, number of errors, economy of instrument movements, and maximum speed of instrument movements were measured.
The hypothesis was confirmed by the fact that the performance curves for some of the simulator measurements were very close to logarithmic curves, and there were significant interindividual differences in performance at the end of the repetitive trials.
Assessment of perceptual motor skills and the innate ability of an individual with no prior experience in laparoscopic surgery to develop such skills using the LS 500 VR surgical simulator is feasible and reliable.

Aphrodite's ejaculation is all you'll need to tell your trans friendly customers about in order to make them want this release.
The box text is utterly useless in determining why any self respecting transsexual fan would want to watch a video featuring pretty girls with perfectly standard issue looking genitals. Once sexy Aphrodite - who doesn't even merit a box cover photo or mention in spite of being in two, long scenes - shoots cum out of the end of her formidably sized clit, things become much clearer.
All of the other scenes are perfectly decent, although the birth gender/sex of the other pussy bearing girls is a mystery, but that creamy clit centered ejaculation is the centerpiece of this solid release and more than justifies enjoying the entire title. Bad Boy's administration of a water bottle to trans Raphaela is a strong secondary attraction.
