The bench goes with my decor....It is very pretty...
We had purchased the smaller stool and we loved it so much we wanted to get the matching bench.
I just love it. It is very rich looking and perfect for the spot i put it in.I put it together in 15 minutes. Great, great great.
Easy to assemble. Sturdy. Quality looking furniture
The stool looks good and feels good at my piano in my living room. I thought the bench would be excellent in a corner just opposite.
Took 15 min. to put together. Nice fabric, wood was good. instruction-good. Looks nice in front of bed.
Quick delivery, easy assembly, looks great as has neutral tones. What more do you want?
Good quality bench at an affordable price.
This bench is quite nice although the cushion leaves wrinkles that need smoothing after you get up. Despite that, it's a very nice addition to our home.
Elegant furniture in quality and design. Enhancement to other furniture in the room.

Sen'Derrick Marks says he's ready to fulfill his dream of playing pro football, and the Auburn junior defensive lineman backed it up this morning by saying he's entering his name in the NFL draft.
"I've had a great experience during the last four years at Auburn," Marks said in a statement. "However, I feel that it's in my best interest to enter my name into the 2009 NFL Draft. It's always been a dream of mine and I feel that I'm ready to advance to the next level.''
Marks started in 37 games and had 114 career tackles including 30 tackles for loss and 7.5 sacks. He had 32 tackles in 2008. Marks said the departure of Tommy Tuberville as head coach did not influence his decision.
"Auburn is, and always will be a special place to me,'' Marks said. ``The Auburn family and my teammates have always been very supportive of my family and me, and for that I'm very appreciative."
Marks will meet the press later today. We'll be back with more.

About Chateau Suduiraut
With a lengthy history comes a list of accomplishments and triumphs. Such is the case for Chateau Suduiraut, which dates to the seventeenth century. Not only did Suduiraut achieve First Growth status in the 1855 classification of Sauternes and Barsac, its management pioneered the practice of grafting vines onto American rootstock to thwart the scourge of Phylloxera.
2010 Chateau Suduiraut Sauternes (half bottle)
Producer: Chateau Suduiraut
Style: Sweet Wine
Grape Type: other white varietal
Origin: France
Region: Bordeaux
Appellation: Sauternes and Barsac
92-95 Points | Stephen Tanzer's IWC - August 2011
Bright, pale yellow-gold. Captivating aromas of tropical fruits, vanilla and creme br u lee are complicated by honeyed botrytis. Enters the mouth smooth, balanced and fresh, showing building sweetness and complexity to its pure, rich mango, papaya, ginger and citrus flavors. This large-scaled Sauternes admirably combines power and grace, finishing pure and long. Jean-Rene Martignon, technical director of the AXA-Millesime properties, told me that the grapes were harvested in five successive tries: the first yielded four barrels of wine with very pure botrytis and high acidity, while seven days later a second trie gave more concentrated juice, but both of these passes through the vines went into the estate's second wine, Castelnau de Suduiraut.

News broke Thursday that 16th District of Worcester Representative John Fresolo, Democrat, was believed to be the person under investigation by the Massachusetts House of Representatives House Committee on Ethics for "serious allegations."
According to investigative reporter and author Michelle McPhee, Fresolo is "on paid administrative leave but could be forced to resign."
Here's what's been reported so far:
What official statements have been made?
A spokesperson for Massachusetts House Speaker Robert DeLeo's office put out a statement on Thursday night saying that the Speaker had directed the House Committee on Ethics to undertake an investigation of "serious allegations" brought against a House of Representatives member two weeks ago.
"Two weeks ago the legal counsel to the House of Representatives brought serious allegations made against a House member by a House employee to the attention of the Speaker. Upon notification, the Speaker directed counsel to conduct a preliminary review of the allegations to determine if they had merit. After conducting the preliminary review, counsel concluded that there was sufficient cause to warrant a full investigation. Last Friday, Speaker DeLeo, acting under the authority of House Rule 16, therefore, directed the House Committee on Ethics to fully investigate the allegations. In order to protect the integrity of the Ethics Committee investigation, Speaker DeLeo will have no further comment on this matter." [Seth Gitell, spokesman for House Speaker DeLeo]
House Minority Leader Bradley Jones, Jr., issued a statement in response and in support of Speaker DeLeo's referral to the House Committee on Ethics involving allegations:
"Late last week I was apprised that the Speaker would be referring to the House Committee on Ethics a matter regarding allegations made against a House member by an employee of the House of Representatives. The Speaker, after a preliminary review by House Counsel, felt there was sufficient cause to warrant a full investigation.
"I support the Speaker's decision and recommendation in this matter. It is my hope and expectation that the Committee will fully, fairly and expeditiously investigate these allegations."
Who is being investigated and why?
Speaker DeLeo and Minority Leader Jones did not release the name of the representative being investigated, but The Worcester Telegram & Gazette*, Worcester Mag and The State House News Service have all reported that the 16th Worcester district representative John Fresolo is the center of the investigation.
"Several local politicians Thursday were discussing the investigation and whether it centered on state Rep. John P. Fresolo, D-Worcester," reports the Telegram.
According McPhee, sources told her that Fresolo is under investigation because of "allegations that he took lascivious photos of his privates and sent them to a State House computer."
McPhee also reports that Fresolo is suspected of inflating his travel reimbursements as well.
State Representative John Fresolo (D-Worcester) is on unpaid leave after an aide found pictures of his penis on... fb.me/DuJMK65C— Michele McPhee (@MicheleMcPhee) March 22, 2013
Is Rep. Fresolo resigning?
Local radio host and former mayor Jordan Levy reported on his radio show on WTAG that through sources he had heard that Rep. Fresolo would resign in the next 48 hours.
"Though it's unclear whether it might be related, Worcester radio host Jordan Levy reported Thursday afternoon that Worcester Democrat Rep. John Fresolo would resign within 48 hours, a claim Fresolo denied to the News Service.
Reached at home, Levy said he heard from two sources that Fresolo would resign "because of some ethical problems." [State House News Service]
The State House News Service and the Telegram reached Fresolo for comment and both were told he has no intention of resigning.
According to the Telegram, Fresolo told a reporter who went to his home in Worcester on Thursday night, "I am not resigning."
Who is Rep. John Fresolo?
Fresolo sits on the House Ways and Means Committee, the Joint Committee on Housing and the Joint Committee on Labor and Workforce Development. He was elected to his eighth term in the House of Representatives last November.
According to his website, Fresolo has "successfully secured nearly $1,000,000 in additional community police funds for the Union Hill, Vernon Hill, Grafton Hill, Quinsigamond Village and Green Island neighborhoods of Worcester. This funding will continue to address the growing problem of illegal drug use, violent crime, and gang formation." He also filed the bill for the Place of Peace Cancer Garden in the City of Worcester, which was passed by Governor Deval Patrick, as well as getting funding for other projects in the city.
MassLive.com's attempts to reach Fresolo for comment were unsuccessful.
Attempts by MassLive.com to reach Rep. Marty Walsh, Chair of the Ethics Committee, for comment were also unsuccessful.

'Chuck' vs. the Retrospective Interview, Part 4
Timothy Dalton and Linda Hamilton join in the fun, and Chuck and Sarah get hitched and
"Chuck" airs its series finale Friday night at 8 on NBC, and it's time for the penultimate installment of our 5-part retrospective interview with creators Chris Fedak and Josh Schwartz, to discuss the show's fourth season.
Schwartz actually only cameos at the beginning of this one, as he had to leave early to attend a meeting for another show he works on. After he left, Fedak and I took a ride to the empty stage on the Warner Bros. lot that used to house the Buy More set, to get one last look at a place where so many crazy things (including shootouts, sexy entrances and the inaugural Jeffster! performance) had happened over the life of the series.
Now, season three ends. Chuck has told Ellie he is going to quit the CIA and he's going to work out of his dad's basement and all of that, and then you walk that back pretty quickly at the start of season four.
Josh Schwartz Yeah, we were kind of made to.
Chris Fedak: Yeah.
Chris Fedak: The one thing you brought up — what would we have done earlier? — and keeping Ellie out of the loop for so long, if we could do it all over again, that would have been something (to do sooner).
Well, in both the season three finale and then the season four finale, there were big changes, but then reverted back to other things quickly.
Chris Fedak: How so?
Like, Morgan is only the Intersect for about four or five episodes.
Chris Fedak: Yeah, but it's still four or five episodes.
Josh Schwartz It's half the season.
Chris Fedak: It's a third of the season and we kind of built it that way, but when we talk about the money on the show, Carmichael Industries uses Castle. That's a dynamic where you make the show make sense, but it is a different type of entity. It's much more of a freelance operation, especially in that first half of the season.
If the budget had been different, and you're not married to the sets as the ones you had to keep using, would they still be operating out of the Buy More and all of that or might you have done something else?
Josh Schwartz Well we flirted with it. Look, we blew up the Buy More. We were prepared to walk away from the Buy More and find new jobs and reasons for keeping Big Mike, Jeff and Lester in the show and I think there was a lot of concern about the Buy More an iconic element of the show. "It's fine if you want to blow it up, but it better get rebuilt," and that led to a lot of fun of like the new kind of-
Chris Fedak: Spy version of it.
Josh Schwartz Yeah, high end and version of Buy More. It was basically, we vacuumed the carpets.
(Schwartz's assistant tells him he has to go to a meeting.)
All right, I will continue with Fedak.
Josh Schwartz Yeah, I don't get to be part of anything else after the end of season three? Linda Hamilton? Timothy Dalton? Can I tell the Timothy Dalton story?
Chris Fedak: Please.
Tell the Timothy Dalton story.
Josh Schwartz So we're obsessed with Timothy, with James Bond obviously and Timothy Dalton being one of the only—what—four guys, five guys and we wanted him forever. We've always wanted Timothy Dalton on the show. So we finally get him in the room and we're told one thing: "Don't mention Bond." So I have to scrub my office because I literally have James Bond trading cards and the mug Chris gave me. A lot of James Bond paraphernalia in the room and so we're sitting there. We're not talking about James Bond and talking about Volkoff and the character and all that and there is this rack of books, which was over here before and this is from my old office. I haven't looked at it in forever and we're like almost done with the meeting. We're like five minutes from closing and this book (a James Bond coffee table book with a "007" on the spine) is literally in the back. And all of the sudden he just looks over from across the room and he sees it in the tiniest font and he goes, "Well there it is: 007." Fedak and I are like, "He just said 007 in front of us! It was amazing!" And then he started talking about it. I don't know who said it was his issue because he was very upfront. It was thrilling for us.
Chris Fedak: But we thought we had been found out. We were trying to be so cool: "He's not going to be anything like James Bond. We don't even know what that is."
Josh Schwartz Yeah. "We're fairly familiar with James, but you were James Bond? That's so weird!" And we were terrified afterwards that we had blown it, but he signed on. And he was the most fun.
(Schwartz exits, and we go to the empty stage, where a crewmember asks Fedak to pose — in front of where the Nerd Herd desk used to be — for a time-lapse video they're doing of the set's deconstruction. I stand off to the side and snap this picture, and then we go to Fedak's office to continue the discussion.)
We'll take a break from the chronology for a minute to talk about what just happened there. How did that feel?
Chris Fedak: It feels—it's amazing. Five years ago, we started working on the show and when people are building stuff it's kind of like you can't believe that it's stuff that you've just written on paper. It's not a blueprint. It's not like you've done any like structural work, but someone is actually taking those words and turning them into a store and the Buy More set, just from a production perspective was always an amazing set. You could shoot it. Anybody could shoot it and it always looked great and I think early on in season one we realized that the Buy More was a fun place to be and so much of it had to do with that set . To say good bye to it is an incredible thing.
I should have touched on this back when we were talking about Subway before, but it feels like the way the show survived after season two gave you guys license to be incredibly shameless with the product placement after that, especially for Subway. The fans have sort of accepted it because it was part of the story of the show at that point.
Chris Fedak: When we were looking at the new budget for the show, we knew that product placement was going to be integral to how we made the show work. So there was certain points where we were kind of in the tradition of the Texaco Theater. You know, if we're going to do a mini-commercial, it should also be funny. So when we did the peace treaty scene between Big Mike, Casey and Jeff and Lester in the Subway we always felt like it had to be somewhere and like it was a usual show. You could just put it in the Orange Orange, but instead it fits into a Subway and it's a fun place to be. Of course the laundry list of ingredients was always the tricky part, but there is nothing more fun than having our writers try to figure out you know like how do we make banana peppers fun.
The other part of it too though is there is product placement that people identify as product placement, which isn't product placement.
So what is something on the show that people would have thought was product placement, but wasn't?
Chris Fedak: The white wine that Chuck drinks in our hacking episode was not product placement. The Tide stain stick, not product placement. At certain points we just want to be able to say the product name as opposed to the made-up thing because people know what the product is. It makes sense. There is a funnier word to say, but it's much funnier to say those words, to say the specific product. If it's the white wine that Chuck is obsessed with then it might as well be the white wine I drink because I have gout.
You come back for season four. You guys alluded to it earlier: Why exactly did you have to walk back some of the "Chuck is retired, Chuck is now operating out of Stephen's basement chasing down all the Agent X people" stuff?
Chris Fedak: There was a notion that people wouldn't know what the show was if the Buy More was not a part of it. That component of the show was something that people understood. The powers that be understood the show and it was the show that was part spy show, part situation comedy and it was a fear that if you left that part of the show even if you kept the characters - which was always our intention - then it wouldn't be the same show anymore. So that's where the Buy More spy base came about. It was us adjusting to keep the Buy More still part of the show.
Now one of the things that happened at the end of season three especially was the Morgan/Casey duo was created. Baldwin and Gomez had done some stuff together before, but not to that extent. At what point did you realize, "Hey, wait a minute, this is a combination we can do a lot with"?
Chris Fedak: hat's an interesting question. When we had them on the train episode ("Honeymooners") looking for Chuck, searching for him, those scenes were so fantastic, just simply those two guys on a plane going to Europe. I think any moment after that we just knew that they were gold together because they both Adam is a very, very funny actor and Gomez is an incredibly talented comic actor and they just played amazingly together.
This is dialing back even further: with Baldwin, it seemed to me like Casey certainly had a role on the show and was good, but Casey didn't seem to become consistently funny until the second season. Would you say that's fair?
Chris Fedak: Well I think what you had in the first season was the man was instructed to kill Chuck. There was this very heightened kind of relationship between Chuck and Casey and that's funny. I can watch those episodes and go, "You know, I have no intention of actually having Casey kill Chuck," so I can enjoy those lines, but I think that there is definitely an intention there that is different people watching for the first time.
Josh told the Dalton story before. With Linda Hamilton, how did you land on her as Mrs. Bartowski?
Chris Fedak: Same way as we landed on Dalton in that there is a short list that we put together and Linda was always if not at the top, always in the world of the person that we were looking for. So we sat down with her as well and we had a great meeting and she was just lovely to work with and she was also interested in doing something on a lighter show. She wanted to do something that was a little more comic and a little warmer than some of the stuff that she had done, the kind of iconic Linda Hamilton stuff, almost like back to the "Beauty and the Beast" days. That was a great conversation and she was phenomenal for us.
Were you prepared for how funny Dalton was going to be?
Chris Fedak: Yeah, we knew, especially coming off of what he had done with "Hot Fuzz" the fun Dalton side of his characters that are outside of the Bond world, like "The Rocketeer." You could see that Timothy really enjoys having fun and likes the more comic tone. He also really savors a villain and he loved Volkoff. All the stuff that we came up for Volkoff was based very much around the conversation we had with him, because with Timothy what's very different from any other actor is that Tim likes to come in and talk to the writer and perform the part with the writer before the show shoots. And it's great because he comes in; he wants to talk about everything and then he'll perform bits and pieces of it, so you've written the monologue and Tim is like, "I want to really run at it." And then he'll do it and it's Timothy freaking Dalton doing a big performance here in your office and you're just like, "Please, please, please deliver 50% of that," and he always did more. If you look at season four it's definitely a love letter to villains. Dalton was a fantastic part of the show and it was a character that we more and more obsessed over.
Had you planned for "Ring: Part Two"? "Other Guy" was clearly, "The show is over, this is it." "Ring: Part Two "obviously leaves some things open, so when you did that, that was more of a "maybe we'll come back, maybe we won't" kind of finale.
Chris Fedak: For the end of season three?
When Chuck and Shaw fight in the Buy More and the Buy More blows up and all of that.
Chris Fedak: In truth, we built all them the same way, which is that we wanted to blow them out in such a way that we thought it was like this will be a great finale as well as a great episode. I think that we might have felt a little more confident with the mom reveal because we were also setting up essentially what we wanted to do in the next season of the show. And it was also something we were doing because we were in a place with the ratings that we had some confidence that the show would come back and then we wanted to definitely tee up a big next season of the show.
The reason I ask is because "Push Mix" is much more in the vein of "Other Guy" where, again, it's you ending the show.
Chris Fedak: Yes, we're ending the show.
So this time: baby born, Chuck proposes. How did you decide, "All right, if this is the fourth time we're ending then we're going to end it this way"?
Chris Fedak: I think there was a point when we were working on that episode where that was a big conversation that Josh and I had was whether (episode) 13 would be the wedding of Chuck and Sarah or would 13 be where he actually proposes to her. I think that the thing we were struggling with is we didn't think we had enough time to get to the wedding for 13, so we built the first 13 episodes around Chuck kneeling down and asking Sarah to marry him, and that definitely the Chuck/Sarah through-line of that side of the season, where you get the false proposal in 11, Chuck searching for Sarah in 12 and then in 13 finally getting that chance to ask her in the most unromantic place in the world in a hallway in a hospital with a man cleaning the floors.
Whose idea exactly was it to background them and foreground the floor cleaner guy?
Chris Fedak: When we were sitting in the room I got excited about the idea of it, the idea that in episode 11 — which is one of my favorite episodes, the Paris, France episode — it's ridiculous and there is this great romantic moment and then with a beautiful view of the moon and him going to propose to her and it's interrupted, and then we knew the place that would be the truly perfect place would be in the hospital, and that was part of our pitch. Usually, when we pitch the season we pitch like these big pieces and that was always going to be a part of it is that there would be a proposal, one proposal would be the perfect beautiful one and one would be the real one, which would take place in a real place with real people, and I got excited by the guy cleaning in the background because this romantic moment is taking place and (writers) Rafe (Judkins) and Lauren (LeFranc) did a fantastic job scripting that episode. It was also directed by one of our directors Peter Lauer, who has an amazing eye and he just killed it with the scene. He really understood what we wanted to go with and it's one of the great moments of the show.
Now I'm trying to remember. I know that there had been little bits and pieces after, but is "Push It" the last actual full-blown Jeffster performance so far? Do they perform at all in the back half of that season?
Chris Fedak: I don't think they do. I don't think they do.
There is the joke in the fifth season premier or the second episode where Big Mike is like, "I'm getting tired of the whole Jeffster thing" and Lester admits he is too. Did you feel after a certain point like everybody loves this, but maybe enough is enough?
Chris Fedak: I think that we wanted to go a different—what we did—first of all, I loved Jeffster. It's fantastic and I think that we're not done yet.
I wouldn't expect that you would be.
Chris Fedak: No, but we wanted to take it in a different direction and I think that you see that very much this season. It started very small stuff in the first couple of episodes, but then the moment we realized that Jeff has been inhaling carbon monoxide every night of his life and that if he just gets clean he's kind of a different person, that was the opening — we really wanted to tell that story this year and how their relationship changes and how Vik would try to kill him and then Vik would wind up in jail. That just made us very happy because much like Gomez and the thing that we talked about before is that you need to find new things for characters and for them I think Smart Jeff was the beginning of their next phase.
Now getting back to the back half of season four, again you get the unexpected pick up. You had already basically completely the Volkoff story. You have to start over from scratch. In hindsight how do you feel like Vivian worked out as the villain of that half of the season?
Chris Fedak: I think 11 episodes is a lot of TV. That was a lot of TV to kind of to build. It did allow us to do shows like the General Beckman/Roan Montgomery episode. I wanted to meet the C.A.T. Squad because I love that opening sequence, but I do think that if we had had more time we might have done a different villain to a certain extent. But we also felt like Vivian was a way to look at the Chuck story from a different perspective. But in truth, the dark side of the Chuck story was something that we had played with for many episodes, even going back to season one with the "Sandworm" episode, the idea that Chuck is very lucky. He has fallen into the right hands, and then with Vivian we wanted to tell a story of someone who had fallen into the wrong hands and I think that that was a lot of fun. It was definitely different from what we usually do, because usually we don't spend that much time with the bad guys. And we had a lot of scenes with her —
Her and Ray Wise, yeah.
Chris Fedak: And I think that that was a little bit different for the show and I think it was neat for us to do, but it was also different from our usual thing.
One thing I didn't mention in the first half of season four is "Phase Three," which you two have listed among your favorite episodes. Everybody seems to love that. It feels like that was almost an accident because you just you needed a Zach-light episode since he was going to direct the next one. Talk about how that came together and what your reaction was both to it and then the fan reaction to it, because people went nuts for that one.
Chris Fedak: Oh yeah, absolutely. "Phase Three" was a lot of fun to do. It was incredible. We had a great young director on that episode, Anton Cropper, who is fantastic and it was an episode that we kind of knew that we needed to be Zach-light, but we also we had always wanted to do a "Sarah on fire" episode. We wanted to see that. We wanted to see what she would do when Chuck would be taken and she is all by herself, and that was something that we just really savored. And from the outline on, that episode had such energy, and every moment was driven toward Chuck and it also had like a great kind of like "Twilight Zone" story with Zach, and I think that that was really cool and we got the execution right throughout. And the writer on that episode, Kristin Newman, wrote just a great female action show. You know it's like a great show in its right and I think that's been the neat part of the show is to kind of be able to refocus on different people and just let them be the star of the show for an episode. And I think Yvonne of course is a person who is going to have many TV shows, if not movies in her future.
Yeah. "Anyone else want to be my boyfriend?"
Chris Fedak: She is so good. It's so funny and we spent so much time on that episode. We started working on it and it was just like, "This is so complicated, so big. Can we do it?" But the "Chuck" team has always been able to do it — like on other shows, you would say "No, we can't do that," but the "Chuck" team is always, "Let's figure out how we can do it."
So you get towards the end of the season. A number of really big things happen again: Obviously the wedding, but before that Sarah is poisoned, they're kicked out of the CIA, Chuck loses his powers, Morgan gets the Intersect power. What was your confidence level going into that finale that there would be a fifth season?
Chris Fedak: The same as every year, which is like, what, 50%? I would say there was a 50% chance that we would come back.
It's funny, because a few times you've ended the show in what turned out to be the middle of the season, but when you get to the end of the season you set up the cliffhangers.
Chris Fedak: And we wanted to do the wedding. I remember the notion of beginning act five of that episode 24 last year with the funeral and the pan down to the notice of the Sarah and Chuck Bartowksi wedding. What a bummer to show up for your wedding and then still have the funeral announcement up there. We wanted to do that big emotional story, but we also wanted to tee up something exciting and the idea of Morgan getting the Intersect was something that made us giggle. And also we knew that Morgan was so much the heart of the show, but what if he turned into a giant douche when he had the Intersect? And that was the beginning of season five, and the more we talked about it that the Intersect became a little bit of a different thing for the show. It became a bit of a dangerous thing of what happens if it's in somebody else.
So it was more about giving it to Morgan and less about "We've told as many stories with Chuck with the Intersect as we can."
Chris Fedak: Sure. Now there was more along the lines of like what happens when Morgan gets it and what does that mean. Because one of the funny parts of it is, is like the first episode of Morgan trying to be a super spy and him having some of those abilities and what does that fish out of water story look like. But the second part of it was what happens when it affects his personality and why does it affect his personality.

Coming up tomorrow: Morgan has the Intersect, Casey gets a girlfriend and the series heads towards the finish line.

I'd pack my Sammy Galaxy S2 'just in case'. Never know when it will come in handy.
What would we do without our high pixel cell phones. You never know when you will find yourself surrounded by a bunch of drunk party girls!
I'd take some gear as a "just-in-case". I hardly use my smartphone for tweeting and all of that jazz - mostly for navigation/GPS and my netbook would be like a media hub for music or movies. Other than that, yeah - limit technology and usage.
I agree...a vacation is a time to get away from the daily norm.
Depends on where i am going and what where going to do there.
But i do like to pack lite....

With Dina on the stand once more this morning, testimony has again veered into this trial's obsession with Drumthwacket.
We now know its acreage, its staircases, its tennis courts, its maid's quarters, its nursery. She is asking the court for the bucks to compensate her for the 13 months of Drumthwacket living that she was denied by virtue of hubby's screw-up.
Hubby argues all those perks were provided by the state, not by him, so he's off the hook.
Clearly she misses it, and clearly he's not going to be able to afford to replicate it for her.
So here's my idea: Let her go live in Drumthwacket for 13 months!
It's empty, right? Corzine lives in Hoboken, right:? And don't the real estate agents always say it's unwise to leave a house unoccupied for any length of time? We could make her honorary caretaker. She took good care of it while she lived there, raising private funds to get rid of the lead paint and to update furnishings.
(Although somewhere Christie Whitman's ears are burning, as DM testified that when the McGreeveys first arrived, the carpets were stained, perhaps by one of the Whitman dogs. It's kind of hard to imagine Whitman leaving the place in a condition that, in the real world, would cause her to lose her security deposit.)

CORVALLIS - Sifting through the wreckage of an 85-59 loss to Washington Saturday night, Oregon State coach Craig Robinson talked about "regression'' and "bad body language'' and about laying a very large egg in front of 6,648 hopeful fans at Gill Coliseum.
OSU's Seth Tarver spoke of "regressing to our old selves'' and talked about how difficult it was to stop the bleeding once the quick, talented, and very aggressive Huskies decided to step on the gas and pull away with a 51-point second half that included a numbing stretch (for OSU) when coach Lorenzo Romar's team scored on 12 straight possessions.
Washington (13-4 overall, 4-1 Pacific 10 Conference) simply took the Beavers apart, and Robinson was impressed.
"It's disappointing,'' he said, talking about how the Huskies were tougher and willing to compete harder, "but that is a very good team there. I'm surprised they're not ranked.''
OSU has prided itself on sticking with its system and keeping games close in Robinson's first year - a far cry from some of the massacres last season when the Beavers went 0-18 in the Pac-10.
But this one, once the Huskies got rolling, had the feel of last season.
Robinson noted that his team was able to play nearly even with No. 9 UCLA in the second half but the Huskies used their speed and transition game and shooting ability to bury his players 10 minutes into the second half.
Robinson didn't know if the Huskies were the best team Oregon State has played this season - he guessed that they weren't - but he admitted, "they're the team that handled us the best.''
The Huskies shot 58 percent from the floor - 67 percent in the second half - and had five players in double figures, led by Jon Brockman (16) and Justin Dentmon (13).
The Beavers shot 39 percent from the floor (6-for-24 from long distance) and they were out-rebounded 46-19, giving up 17 offensive rebounds.
And to think it was only 34-27 Huskies at halftime.
Seth Tarver - who had a season-high 16 points - said it wasn't a comfortable feeling, watching the Huskies carve up OSU's 1-3-1 zone.
"They just worked the ball around, got some good shots, and hit them,'' said Tarver.
Robinson said it wasn't a completely hopeless game for OSU on the defensive end, but it looked that way because seemingly every time Washington missed a shot, the Huskies would get the rebound.
"That was huge,'' said Tarver. "It's tough to win when you get out-rebounded that bad.''
Robinson said he tore into the Beavers in the dressing room, because he doesn't want them lapsing back into the mindset of last season, when the lopsided losses became routine.
Robinson said he has to remind himself, "it's not a sloping curve up. It's a process.''
Robinson went big, then he went small with his lineup. He tried several combinations, but the result was the same - Washington scoring in halfcourt sets, Washington scoring in transition, or Washington scoring on putbacks.
"The wheels just fell off,'' he said, admitting that sitting there as the Huskies scored on 12 straight trips, "was painful.''
Robinson said he is likely to be thinking about strategy for next week's game at No. 22 California while he is in Washington D.C. for the Inauguration of his brother-in-law, Barack Obama.
"I'm going to try and pay attention at the Inauguration,'' he said. "I'm sure at the Balls, though, I'll be shaking hands with some people and thinking, 'how are we going to stop the Randle kid from shooting threes and the rest of the (Cal) players?' "
Robinson was hoping he could tell the next President that the Beavers got a split this weekend. "I would have loved to have gone out there with a win in my pocket but it's not going to dampen the honor,'' he said. "I'm just humbled by what's going to take place on Tuesday.''
Robinson has to remind himself he's actually staying in the White House on this road trip.
"I can't believe this is happening, but it's sinking in more,'' he said. "Still, it's such a weird feeling.''

Mickey Rapp, franchise owner, president and CEO says the new space will allow ServiceMaster to store people's belongings on-site.
"We moved from a 6,000-square-foot facility to a 15,000-square-foot facility to offer our clients on-site storage," he said. "We did a fair amount of renovation to this building."
He said that extensive renovations were done to the facility which includes a cleaning room, storage pods, a showroom, conference rooms and offices. Rapp says that the new facility will also include an ozone room where the company places the furniture and contents of its client to remove smoke odor and disinfect them. The Paxton street location previously housed Diamond Reo, a vehicle maintenance restoration company.
ServiceMaster offers a variety of restoration services including fire damage restoration, water damage restoration, smoke and odor removal, bio hazard cleanup, hoarding services and clean outs, and carpet cleaning. The company serves residential clients as well as commercial clients from medical to industrial facilities, as well as office buildings and large-scale arenas within a 45-mile radius of Harrisburg.

DEPTFORD TWP. — Police are investigating reports of a home invasion robbery overnight.
Officers were called to the house in the 700 block of Tanyard Road at 2:25 a.m. Friday for what was reported as a home invasion in progress. People inside the house said three intruders were running out the back door as police arrived.
Investigators are trying to piece together what happened, because the three people who live in the house gave them conflicting statements, police said.
Officers did find a 64-year-old man bleeding from the left ear and left side of his nose when they arrived. He told them he'd been hit, pepper sprayed and shocked with a stun gun by three men who said they'd heard there was a million dollars in the house, said police.
The intruders reportedly left with a gold necklace with a "#1 drummer" charm valued at $1,500 and $80 in cash, police said.
Two other residents, a 35-year-old woman and her 33-year-old husband, were in the house,said police.
Police and a K-9 unit from a neighboring town did a search around the house, with negative results.
The first assailant was described as a black male with a medium complexion, about 30 years old, 5-feet, 8-inches tall, clean shaven with short, curly hair and a black bandana across his face, wearing a black shirt and loose shorts, police said.
The second was a white male about 25 years old with acne on his cheeks, 5-feet, 7-inches tall, dirty blond hair, wearing a black T-shirt.
The third robber was described as a 30-year-old white male, about 6-feet, 3-inches tall, wearing beige golf gloves, a black T-shirt and jogging shorts.
The victims reported the robbers broke in through a back door, but police said they found no evidence of a forced entry.
Anyone with information about the robbery is urged to call Detective Leon Bethea at 856-845-6300.

It was a wild midweek match at Jeld-Wen Field Wednesday night as the Portland Timbers and league-leading Real Salt Lake finished in a 3-3 draw. After a back-and-forth game, a shorthanded RSL side found the equalizing goal in stoppage time, which left the Timbers disappointed after securing only one point at home.
Rodney Wallace, Diego Valeri and Kalif Alhassan each scored for the Timbers. Valeri also recorded an assist, his team-leading 11th on the season. Watch highlights from yesterday's Timbers-Real Salt Lake match below:

It was the club's first look at the $611-million gem in the District's Naval Yards neighborhood. Among the many features are modern architecture and breathtaking views of the Capitol Building, more than enough to bring a traveling army of Mets fans, the majority of the 32,780 present last night.
Most came with the promise of witnessing Santana (3-2). He allowed seven hits (six singles) and spotted his fastball well on both corners. He also absorbed both of the Nationals runs and finished with four strikeouts and one walk.
No one expected him, however, to be the centerpiece of the Mets offense. On a night where the Mets scored a majority of their runs off infield singles and other fielding misadventures, Santana smoked a pair of doubles, upstaging the rest of a lineup that scored only two runs the past two games in Chicago.
It's not supposed to be that easy, right?
"He's doing better than a lot of guys on this team right now," said Carlos Beltran, who snapped out of his recent funk with two hits. "That's good. I don't know if it's going to stay like that the rest of the season. But we don't expect him to hit. We expect him to go out and give us an opportunity to win ballgames."
The offense was in such a slide that manager Willie Randolph shook up the lineup before the game. He dropped the floundering Carlos Delgado to sixth, and promoted Church up one spot to fifth. The Mets responded with 11 hits, although a quarter of those might have traveled no more than a few feet. With several players in the midst of hitless stretches, Randolph implored his team to take a hungrier attitude on the basepaths. The result was five stolen bases, along with a handful of extra bases from aggressive base running.
It was the first multi-hit game for Beltran since April 5. He blamed his malaise on a lack of balance in his stance and some difficulties seeing the ball. To work on some flaws, Beltran arrived to Nationals Park early yesterday, and tweaked his swing a bit in the cage, then had a productive night.
Then again, scoring a lot of runs isn't necessarily critical whenever Santana pitches.
For the most part, Santana handcuffed a lineup that ranked dead last in batting average (.227) in the National League prior to last night. Oddly, both Nats runs came on a fourth-inning double by his counterpart Tim Redding, who drilled a slider just over the head of Beltran in center. But Redding (3-2) also allowed three runs before leaving in the fifth.
The Mets quickly answered with four runs over the next two innings to reclaim the lead. Give Santana a healthy cushion, and the dugout talk can shift to finding a late-night restaurant. Following the game, most of the talk bordered as Santana gushing, considering how complete his night was. Well, except for the contrarian viewpoint from his manager.
"He should have had the cycle," Randolph said. "Then he would have really earned his money."

FARMINGDALE, N.Y. -- There have been a number of anxious moments since Tiger Woods hoisted the U.S. Open trophy against the backdrop of the Long Island dusk at Bethpage Black in 2002. He's gotten hitched, had two kids and endured one major reconstructive knee surgery.
All nail-biting events in their own right, but returning to the Black?
That's made the others seem like a walk in the park.
"Well, Bethpage Black, if it was set up the way we played the Open every day, I don't think anybody would play golf anymore," Woods said during a teleconference Monday morning. "It's brutal the way we play it. I'm sure the rough is not quite as high and the greens are not quite as fast. ... I think it's just a fantastic golf course and especially since what it used to look like prior to the renovation."
Woods tamed the bulked-up, refurbished Black Course in 2002, winning as the only player to shoot under par. This time around, he's expecting a course that has undergone some tweaks and tucks, but will be playing just as difficult as ever.
"It's just a long golf course," Woods said. "It was long then. It wouldn't be long if we played the same yardage obviously, but they have changed it since then. They have added length. When we played, the rough was extremely high. You had to drive it straight."
When Woods and the rest of the U.S. Open field push the tees into the ground next month in their return to the Black, they'll find a course that's similar to the 2002 version. However, there have been some subtle changes.
The course will be slightly longer -- by 212 yards -- than seven years ago and the fairways will be lengthened by approximately three to five yards. The USGA will once again be instituting its "graduated rough" concept, which was put into place at the 2006 Open at Winged Foot Golf Club's West Course.
That means that the primary cut of rough will be about 2 1/2 inches -- but go beyond that and players will be pressing their luck. The rough could be anywhere from four to six inches high.
"In 2002, if you hit the ball in the rough, the majority of the time you could not get to the green," Woods said. "You had to lay up and try and make par with the wedge game. The graduated rough, I'm sure you could get some balls to the green, but may not get all the balls to the green.
"The USGA does tend to rake the rough a little bit and they rake it into you, which means the ball will settle down into the grass a little bit and you are playing against the grain. So yeah, is it cut down? Yeah, it is graduated, but then again some places it can be quite brutal."
When it hosted the Open seven years ago, the overhauled A.W. Tillinghast-designed course received positive reviews. But there were some detractors that said the course played too long.
Some holes -- like the 10th and 16th -- have extremely long carries off the tee. Other holes can seem to play longer when the winds come in off either side of Long Island. With these factors in mind, the USGA has eased up a bit -- but they won't be giving the course away either.
"The greens were bigger than what we thought going into the week or at least I thought they would be, but just a tremendous golf course," Woods said. "It played long. It was fair. A couple of holes were kind of questionable ... but I think they have addressed that."
Given that, Woods said he's not sure if he'll even be able to use his notes from the 2002 Open. He'll be making a trip (or two) up to experience the new Bethpage Black for himself and see if it's just as brutal as he remembers. In fact, that will be the challenge for most of the field next month -- trying to once again figure out a course that was already a riddle to begin with.
"This U.S. Open venue is going to be long," said Mike Davis, USGA Senior Director of Rules and Competitions. "Bethpage isn't a course where you can bounce the balls into the green often."

The East Grand Rapids City Commission is expected to confirm the selection of Karen Mushong, a certified public accountant, as the next finance director/treasurer for the City of East Grand Rapids at its next meeting, set for 6 p.m. Monday.
The selection committee announced their decision after working with The Judson Group, which recruited for the position vacated by Jeff Dood, who left for employment with the City of Grand Rapids. From the search, four candidates were chosen for interviews with City Manager Brian Donovan and Mayor Amna Seibold.
Mushong is currently serving in the same capacity as finance director and treasurer for the City of Cedar Springs. She "has the education and work background to continue the strong financial position of the City of East Grand Rapids," said Donovan. "Her customer and management skills will also help her to fit with the customer care focus of the City."
She is a graduate of Western Michigan University, Lee Honors College, and previously worked for Mosaic Properties and Plante and Moran PLLC.
Monday's City Commission meeting will replace the regularly scheduled meeting for April 1, which falls during spring break.

"It just happens to be the exact same picture we conservatives have been warning about and predicting since President Barack Obama took office. "
It's very easy for the GOP to make such a prediction. Just at look at what was handled to Obama by BUSH and the GOP in 2009:
An unemployment rate of nearly 8% and rising, up from a steady low of 5% a year earlier. It continued to rise never stopping until it reached 10%.
Record deficits for 6-7 years and the last budget deficit coming in at $1.3 trillion dollars.
Record deficits and national debt that didn't bother the GOP until Obama took over.
Bank failures that required a Bush $700 billion dollar bail out due to the housing crises.
A tightening of consumer and business credit after the banking collapse.
Two unpaid wars fought with part time soldiers that help drained the economy and cost over 50,000 US casualties just for oil.
Millions of people losing their homes and life saving.
A stock market that finally hit bottom at 6500 a couple of months after Obama took office.
State budgets being slashed because of the economic collapse.
Not to mention the false info for going into Iraq and releasing the name a CIA secret spy to get back at the reporter for showing just how weak the evidence was for going into Iraq which lead to the persecution of a top white house official who was pardoned by Bush before entering prison. All impeachable offenses.

"I appreciate the offer to greet you at Austin-Bergstrom Airport, but a quick handshake on the tarmac will not allow for a thoughtful discussion regarding the humanitarian and national security crises enveloping the Rio Grande Valley in South Texas," Perry wrote in a letter to Obama. "I would instead offer to meet with you at any time during your visit to Texas for a substantive meeting to discuss this critical issue."
Perry needs some lessons in civics. It is congress that makes the laws. This do-nothing GOP lead congress has done very little in the way of work including immigration. All this congress has done when it is in session is vote on killing Obamacare, abortion, Benghazi hearings and filibustering every thing.
In Texas, I guess white men don't shake hands with black people in public that hold a higher position then they do.

Something is very wrong and racist with this picture in Murrieta California. How did all these white middle age people in the middle of the day know the date, time schedule and route of this bus so that they can block its path?
Oh, it was the mayor of Murrieta, Alan Long, a Caucasian that asked his residents to protest the bus's arrival. He did this because he believed the only way to resolve this issue would have been to place them in a bus and send back to the border. Ops, the vast majority of these people are not from Mexico, rather other central & S American countries. Oh and there's that point that at least of these people are minors even children.
If these families have been claiming to been Christians, I'm sure the Tea Party would be welcoming them with open arms.

Only ABC or Fox would ask the architect of the Iraq war, hey what's your opinion.
A war that caused 4500 deaths and about 40,000 injuries and cost well over a trillion dollars. There never were any WMD's or connections to 911 or anything else. A man whose own chief of staff, Scooter Libby was convicted on several counts on releasing the name of an under cover CIA agent to the press. He was later pardon by Bush.

That's right, FREEDOM, to take away the rights of others and feel good about it. And to those on the receiving end of the stick, they have the FREEDOM to be hungry, the FREEDOM to be homeless and the FREEDOM to be in physical pain.

""If you look at last year's State of the Union address, the president made some specific promises. Raise the minimum wage, immigration reform, background checks for gun purchases — none of that happened," Karl said. "Isn't this year only going to be harder?"
"…none of that happened." "
Simple answer; George W. Bush said it best,
"This would a whole lot easier if this were a dictatorship…."
You see, we have checks and balances, namely congress, namely the house controlled by republicans which have gone against everything the president has been for even if they once supported those same things. Therefore nothing is being done until those republicans get voted out. Lets not forget the senate that has had more filibusters against Obama by republicans then any other president in history.
In the 2012 election dems in the house received about a million more votes then did republicans but because of redistricting, the republicans remained in power.

"I would rewrite the Constitution, and I would have a provision in there that's very explicit that the government has no role to play in economics."
Considering the "honor system" never worked in the capitalist system, hence the need for regulations and laws, we, the US would once again revert back to:
Human slavery
Child labor, where children as young as 6 would be allowed to work
Polluting our planet, our drinking water and crops that we ourselves consume directly as well as the animals we consume
Hunting animal and sea species to the point of extinction
Allowing people to work in hazardous environments with no regard to their or families safeties
Then we would refer to the US as a Christian nation under this new rule that would be little more the rebirth of the Roman empire. Except this time, there will be no Christians in the coliseum, just everybody else.

"Rubio said the country's economic well being is tied to its moral wellbeing.Rubio said the country's economic well being is tied to its moral wellbeing."
A moral code indeed. A republican moral code that that hides behind the Christian bible all the while condemning, mocking and ridiculing the poor, the infirmed and the elderly as thieves and the scrooge of modern society. All the while praising and glorifying the rich who believe their given right is to take form those that have the least and to do so in Christ's name.

"As the President attempts to ally w/ Al-Qaeda in Syria's civil war, we must always remember who attacked us on our soil 12 years ago."
This is the phony Christian republicans' attempt at framing the story of the tragedy in Syria to distract the some 1400 civilian deaths caused by nerve agas while one third of those killed were children.
Let one of those children have been a Christian and the phony godless Christian right would have been coloring the airwaves that Obama hates Christians because he hadn't attacked already.
This coming from the republican crowed including Beck that wanted to stay in Iraq forever despite of the financial and human cost as well as that little fact that no WMDs were ever found, almost forever in Afghanistan and ran out of time otherwise, the republicans would have also attached/invaded Iran on the same phony premise they went into Iraq.

No bunnies; only fools listening to the rich man as he uses their hatred against them to steal their country right from under them.
more sequester truth theblaze keeps from you:
"Here's what passes for good news in the era of sequestration: "Only" 57,000 children are being kicked out of Head Start, instead of the 70,000 that had been projected. Along with those 57,000 children losing their preschool, 18,000 Head Start workers are being laid off or having their pay cut."
"An ABC News/Washington Post poll in May found that 37 percent of Americans say they've been negatively affected, up from 25 percent in March. And 18 percent say they've felt a "major impact.""

Bunnies; this is what theblaze wants you to believe is being affected by the sequestration cuts. This only proves how dumb and out of touch its readers are. The republicans raised the debt ceiling 7 times under Bush and almost as many as Regan, but when it comes to Obama who inherited all the mess, they want to take the country over the cliff.
This is the sequester:
"Budget cuts known as sequestration are reducing funding for programs ranging from Head Start and Meals on Wheels to the Department of Defense"
"WASHINGTON, May 10, 2013 – During a Senate hearing yesterday on President Barack Obama's $9.5 billion military construction budget request for fiscal year 2014, Defense Department Comptroller Robert F. Hale said the severe and abrupt budget cuts imposed by sequestration are devastating the U.S. armed forces."
• "Services cut or eliminated for millions of students.
• Funding for children living in poverty, special education, and Head Start slashed by billions.
• Ballooning class sizes.
• Elimination of after-school programs.
• Decimation of programs for our most vulnerable—homeless students, English language learners, and high-poverty, struggling schools.
• Slashing of financial aid for college students.
• Loss of tens of thousands of education jobs—at early childhood, elementary, secondary, and postsecondary levels."

Luke Ryskamp's teams have a funny way of coming out winners. The state's class of 2013 is so deep that ACB didn't make the state 16U top 5 following the spring season. But with Ryskamp, coming off his dominant Class C final four with Schoolcraft, in the fold, even in losing, ACB was leaving its mark. In the coaches' poll, three from the top 5 teams listed victories over ACB as among their most impressive of the season.
ACB lost in the silver final at the Hoosier Shootout last week, then Friday won it all at the Brawl for the Ball in Grand Rapids. Ryksamp, a 6-3 Schoolcraft junior, was named the junior-to-be division MVP as ACB topped Triple Threat in the final. Ryskamp gets to the rim ad nauseum. He had six MAC coaches watching him in the championship game (including one, Western Michigan rookie David Kool, with whom he shares some similarities as players). They were also there for Reid Dugan, a 6-8 Otsego junior who is stating his case as the state's top post prospect in 2013. Also playing well for ACB were 6-4 Gull Lake junior Dean Kolstad who is really long, athletic and active in space; three-point shooting Andrew Johnson a 6-3 Bangor junior and Dennis Scott clone; smooth, active 6-5 Hudsonville Unity Christian junior Ryan Wassink; and 5-10 East Kentwood junior Jaylen Carter who played well as the only guard on the team. The missing guard was Schoolcraft junior Evan Pratt. His absence made ACB's championship win bittersweet, because Pratt's father, Chuck Pratt, just passed away. Despite advanced cancer, he made all ACB's tournaments in the spring.
Triple Threat actually beat ACB in pool play, but couldn't replicate the effort a second time. Sexton guard Jeff Cain is a senior and played like one. How good is Sexton going to be if he's the third guard? (One of that senior triumvirate, point guard Anthony Clemmons, was the Mustangs' best player at DeVos Place). 6-2 East Lansing junior Ahmad Newsome made three-point plays at the rim and from behind the arc and was active defensively. 6-4 Rockford junior Xavier Stewart isn't particularly skilled but plays hard and will go get the ball. 6-7 Sexton junior Jalen Hayes is a lefty who had his moments against Dugan in the final.

Luke Ryskamp 6-3 Jr ACB (Schoolcraft) MVP

A woman was flown to the hospital after being hit by a train in Tarentum on Sunday night, police said.
The accident happened close to 8 p.m. at the railroad crossing at Corbet Street. Tarentum police said the victim is a 34-year-old woman who was alone when, for some reason, she stepped into the path of the train.
The woman survived the impact and was rushed to a Pittsburgh hospital.
"She was treated and transported to a landing zone, where she was lifted by LifeFlight to Allegheny General," said Police Chief Bill Vakulick.
Officials have made contact with the victim's family, but her name has not been released.

Any one who watched the three presidential debates that preceded the Nov. 6 election was under any illusion about how President Barack Obama and challenger Mitt Romney felt about each other.
It's not just that they were opponents, the standard-bearers of our nation's two major political parties, offering distinctly different views of what was best for our nation. Though that was a part of it. What was more, they clearly didn't like each other. To put it mildly. One actually had cause to wonder, during the second matchup, the so-called town hall-style debate, which featured the candidates wandering freely about the stage instead of seated at a table or standing behind lecterns, if they might actually come to blows.
But on Thursday, just 23 days after Election Day, the re-elected president and the failed challenger had lunch together. In the White House, even. After a long campaign during which each seemed sometimes on the verge of wanting to break the other's arm, the vanquished and the victor sat down together and broke bread.
In fact, they ate turkey chili and grilled chicken salad.
The luncheon meeting was private, with no press, no outside photographers inside the president's dining room. Romney arrived, went in, and was out in a bit more than an hour.
Still, even if the lunchtime meeting was more pro forma than propitious, more a meeting of opportunity than a meeting of the minds, it says something about our nation, our political system – and the men involved.
It says something positive, but only to a degree, of course.
In a statement issued after their meeting, the White House said the pair had "pledged to stay in touch, particularly if opportunities to work together on shared interests arise in the future."
A nice sentiment, but we won't be holding our breath.

Roe's Ragged Remnant: Viability
Mark William Osler
University of St. Thomas - School of Law (Minnesota)
Stanford Law & Policy Review, 2013, Forthcoming
U of St. Thomas Legal Studies Research Paper No. 12-35
In "Roe's Ragged Fringe," the consequences of one odd choice made in Roe v. Wade are explored. In Roe, the majority chose viability as the threshold at which the state's interest in the fetus became significant enough to allow abortion to be barred. However, it chose a different threshold, birth, as the point at which the unborn child itself gained any rights. This article assails the illogic of choosing two points in time to describe the same essential event. At the very least, personhood rights should attach to the unborn child at viability, as at that point the pregnancy can be terminated without an abortion -- through a live birth. The essential trade-off changes from being between freedom of the mother versus the life of the child, to the cost of the premature birth versus the life of the child; a very different calculus. This article urges that this oddity be corrected, and viability be seen as a crucial threshold not only for the interests of the state, but the interests of the child.

MOBILE, Alabama -- Hank Becker had a lot on his mind when we talked that evening in March 2010. A lot of it had to do with mortality, and that's what prompted me to save my recording of the interview long after it had served its purpose.
The occasion was one of Hank's many comebacks. Right at the end of 2009, the night before New Year's Eve, he'd come down with a crippling headache. The next day his wife, Debbie, took him to the emergency room, where he collapsed.
"The next thing I know, I woke up, it was February," he said. In the interim he'd grown so weak that he couldn't hold a pick, let alone a guitar. But he wasn't complaining.
As always, incredibly, he had too much to be happy about. He was happy about the care he'd received from friends and medical professionals, particularly Dr. Edith McCreadie, someone he credited as a lifesaver many times over the years. He was happy about the food he anticipated tasting at upcoming gigs at The Shed and the Mellow Mushroom. And he was still glowing about the fact that, back before his collapse, the owners of The Shed's Mobile store had named their stage in his honor.
Hank's death last week was a shock even if it did follow years of health crises. The sense of loss is too big to sum up this quickly. But what lingers more than the songs — and he wrote some fine ones — is Hank's incredible ability to enjoy life while he had it.
I suspect that most of the things he said in that conversation back in 2010 were things he would be saying now, if he was still with us. Here are a few of them:
"There's been a lot of prayers and kindness. And I've had more miracles, I've had more than nine lives. I don't know what it is. God wants me to do something, and I'm here to do it, whatever it is."
"I have been over the edge, I've been dead so many times I may have used my last miracle. I don't know. But for whatever reason, God spit me back out over here again." He laughed at the thought. "I've got something left to do, and the only thing I know how to do is play, so here I go."
"I'm still just as crazy as ever but I've got a lot of clarity. I kind of see things, I don't have time to be about any foolish things. I just can't stand to see ego things."
"There's a lot wrong with the world, but there's still a lot of nice in this world, too. It gets overshadowed a lot of times. But people have been very kind to me."
"I always tried to make some time for charities and stuff. If you give a little bit, you get so much back in return. So the community stayed behind me. Coming back from the dead will do a lot for your rep. But I've had to do it over and over. I'm just like, my middle name is Lazarus or something."
"I guess I'm meant to be here for now. The world'll go on. I love being here because of my grandchildren. I love my wife, I love to scratch my old dog that ain't worth a hoot on the head. I'm lucky. I'm real lucky to be here. I know I'm lucky."
"I can just say that I know I'm in the hands of God. We all are, really, this is what I believe. It just hasn't been my time yet. I may have used up all my miracles, but maybe my life was just to show that miracles do happen to regular people."

James Swain
Class/Genre: Mystery
Series: Tony Valentine # 1
Pocket, Jun 2001, $23.95, 320 pp.
In 1998, Acropolis Resort and Casino pit boss Wily hires former cop Tony Valentine to review the tape of a man winning $50,000 at black jack. Wily is positive the man cheated perhaps with the help of his dealer Nola Briggs. While watching the tape, Tony calculates that Frank wins 65-70% of the time regardless of what is dealt. Using the Blackjack Master Program to find trends, Tony learns that a high amount of the winnings defy the odds which are typically less than twenty-five percent with the hands Fran consistently wins with. Though Tony sees Nola enjoys Frank's flirting, he cannot figure out how he or they are cheating.
Frank seemingly vanishes, but hotel security boss Sammy had Nola arrested for cheating with a player. Since the Gaming Control Board believes the casino has no case, Wily pleads with Tony to come to Vegas to help them convict Nola. Selecting the lesser of two evils, Tony agrees to come to Vegas in August when he learns his estranged son is flying from New York to reconcile with him in his home in Palm Harbor, Florida. However, once on site investigating the case, Tony will learn that even his slimy son would have been a better choice.
GRIFT SENSE is an exciting, very entertaining, and quite unique mystery. The story line is fun as a different side of Las Vegas surfaces. Tony is a great sleuth and the support cast namely his neighbor and those at the casino augment the tale with depth. The odds are very heavy that those readers who enjoy a different type of mystery will want to read James Swain's interesting novel.

Robert Downey, Jr. ready for 'Iron Man 3' with new director Shane Black
He's wrapped most of his principal photography for "The Avengers," but it appears Robert Downey, Jr. isn't burning out on playing Tony Stark, aka Iron Man anytime soon. Speaking to the LA Times this past week, Downey, Jr. discussed his enthusiasm about moving forward with "Iron Man 3" under the direction of his "Kiss Kiss Bang Bang" collaborator Shane Black.
Black, who is best known for writing the screenplay for "Lethal Weapon" when he was just 23, is replacing Jon Favreau who helmed the first two "Iron Man" films.
"[Black] is more than the sum of his parts and he's also kind of been a sleeper for a long time," Downey told the paper. "We're not talking much about [the script] right now because Shane is off writing and we talked before that and when we are talking again the talking is going to be over pretty quick. It's kind of like we're fighting on the same side and at the same time we're circling each other, so it's all great. It should be great."
Downey, Jr. also admitted that a lot of things worked in "Iron Man 2," but a lot of things didn't. For more on the interview, click here.

Dartmouth, for all it's Ivy League glory, still doesn't have the premium staff or student body of, say, a Harvard or Yale. It's out in the middle of nowhere (also see Cornell). Plus, I've been hearing more things about Dartmouth drinking deaths and STD rates than out of any other Ivy League school.
Just my opinion. I'm sure Dartmouth is the right school for some people, just not me.

Dartmouth, definitely. It has a gorgeous location, which I personally like. I like its academics much better than Brown's, it's teaching staff is world class (not as many TA's like Harvard), and it's quality of life is fantastic--my friends say the dorms are wonderful. I agree about the drinking and stuff, but you could NOT do that--and also they have a non-drinking dorm thing that you apply to.
I think it's a matter of preference.

Being extremely biased and completely opposite from BrownMan (I obviously go to Dartmouth), I'd like to add a thing or two to this thread. First, check out http://www.collegeconfidential.com/cgi-bin/discus/show.cgi?8/27298 for more information about Dartmouth. I won't repeat what I wrote there, but I will make a few comments about this thread.
"Doesn't have the premium staff or student body"
Ouch, guess I'm not premium. What is premium? If you look at leaders across various fields they are scattered at many different schools. What's more, most of the schools they "teach" at emphasize research and graduduate education for these "big names" over undergraduate education. That means you subsidize other people to learn, and you get the dregs of whatever's left. Dartmouth makes a commitment to undergraduate education that is unequalled at any Ivy, Stanford or UC Berkeley. And Dartmouth professors ARE big names - John Rassias, who INVENTED the language teaching method that colleges across the country use to teach. He teaches freshmen. George Cybenko, an expert on IT issues and Computer Science. He teaches several courses a year. Ned Lebow, one of the best know international relations scholars, taught my first class ever at Dartmouth freshman fall. And teaching for them is not a burden or an obligation - it's something they enjoy, or they wouldn't be at Dartmouth.
'Drinking deaths and STD rates'
I have only one thing to say on this issue: I challenge you to name the last Dartmouth Student to die as the result of drinking. I challenge you to provide any evidence of high STD rates at Dartmouth. Maybe you're talking about pinkeye, which I suppose could be transmitted sexually if the eyes are called 'sexual organs'?
"Brown provides a well rounded education"
This may be true. I am no Brown expert, but it seems to me if you want a well rounded education you should go to a school which at least has some requirement to take classes outside your field of study and involve yourself in other cultures (that would be Dartmouth, not Brown). Everything you described exists at Dartmouth. In fact, I'd go a step farther and say that those classes exist at every school in the country.
"People at Brown are alternative and people at Dartmouth belong to frats"
Hasty generalizations much? Maybe visit each campus and then see?
If you take away one thing from what I've said, let it be this: Be skeptical of generalizations about 4,000 people and sweeping statements about colleges, especially from people who don't attend them. It's tough enough to compare two totally different schools without that nonsense.

Brown's student body contains more women than men. Dartmouth has had some pretty ugly dramas among its fraternities, which are more central to campus life than Brown's, in recent years.
Dartmouth is in beautiful countryside; Brown is in a small, fun, convenient city. It's a matter of personal preference.
Dartmouth students have the Dartmouth Plan. It's both an opportunity and a requirement originally set up to create dorm space when Dartmouth went coed. You have to want to be up there in the summer one year.
Dartmouth has a business school and a med school. Brown has a small med school. Not sure how either affects campus life.

Thats the nice thing about brown. The school leaves the responsibility to its students in deciding his/her future career. It gives you both freedom and responsibility. Its not an easy task to do!!!
I do understand you 2006Dartmouth. people here should not make hasty generalizations. i dont know much about dartmouth... and im not trying to say that my school is better than yours. However, i have the right to say that if one desires for a very liberal approach to one's education, one should put brown on their list.
Having a well-rounded education actually depends on the person. Brown and dartmouth can both provide a person with a well-rounded education; however, there is a greater degree of freedom at Brown than at Dartmouth because at brown, there are no distribution requirements.
