Walter Thomas - Queen Elizabeth ,cunard White Star
Original 1946112
Other WORKS AT AUCTION
WALTER THOMAS (1894-1971) QUEEN ELIZABETH / CUNARD WHITE STAR. Gouache and pencil maquette. Circa 1946. 18 3/4x11 3/4 inches, 47 1/2x29 3/4 cm. Condition B+: stain in upper right corner; creasing along bottom edge. Painted on artist board. Matted and framed. Although she was launched in September 1938, the Queen Elizabeth first went into service as a troopship during World War II. Her maiden voyage as an ocean liner wasn't until 1946. When she entered the transatlantic service she was the longest and heaviest ship to have ever sailed. The central vessel and general layout of this sketch were eventually used by Thomas in 1947 on a well-known poster promoting the Queen Elizabeth and the Queen Mary. Here, instead of depicting the Queen Mary in the background, Thomas depicts the Calshot Spit Lightship (Trinity Lighthouse Vessel LV 78), located off Southampton. In 1948, Cunard bought out White Star and shortened the name of the company. Toursim p. 35 (var).

At the inner hair cell (IHC) ribbon synapse, the first synapse in the auditory pathway, 'analog'sound information is converted into a 'digital'pattern of action potentials at auditory nerve fibers and transmitted to the brain. The relative time of each spike within a train of action potentials carries important information that needs to be faithfully represented in the auditory pathway. A well characterized form of temporal coding is phase locking: auditory neurons are capable of firing at a particular time within each cycle of a low-frequency stimulus. This phenomenon is required for localizing a sound source by computing the small difference in time at which the wave arrives at the two ears. Interaural delays can be as small as 10 microseconds, emphasizing the precision of temporal coding by the auditory periphery. The goal of this proposal is to investigate the mechanisms that allow the IHC ribbon synapse to release neurotransmitter with high precision and over long periods of time. In acutely excised rat cochlear preparations, simultaneous patch-clamp recordings will be performed from IHCs and postsynaptic terminals of auditory nerve fibers. Recently, we have shown that short-term facilitation occurs at this synapse, producing not only an increase in release but also a reduction in latency.
Our first aim i s to investigate the mechanisms underlying this phenomenon. We will study the role of the residual intracellular Ca2+ concentration by controlling its spread with specific buffers, and by monitoring its decay time course with fluorescent dyes. Facilitation will also be studied by uncaging Ca2+ in the cytosolic space. Secondly, the underlying mechanisms of phase-locked synaptic responses will be investigated. Preliminary experiments show that synaptic responses at the IHC ribbon synapse phase-lock to periodic stimuli. This feature will be further explored by applying stimuli with variable amplitude and by testing whether the preferred phase is conserved. These experiments will be compared with responses to single step depolarizations. We will evaluate the role of short-term facilitation and depression in establishing phase-locking. Finally, the ability of the IHC ribbon synapse to signal continuously with high precision will be studied. It has been shown that in response to steady IHC depolarization, this synapse exhibits short-term depression. The time course of recovery of synaptic responsiveness following a depleting stimulus will be evaluated. Given that neural synchrony is required for complex tasks such as speech intelligibility, the outcome of this study will hopefully provide the basis for potential improvements in cochlear implant design and a better understanding of hearing deficits that originate at the IHC afferent synapse. This research will be done primarily in Argentina, at the Instituto de Investigaciones en Ingenier?a Gen?tica y Biolog?a Molecular (INGEBI) in collaboration with Dr. Juan Goutman, with the companion grant being R01 DC006476, 01-01-2004 to 11-29-2013.
The inner hair cell ribbon synapse is the first synapse in the auditory pathway and is responsible for transmitting information about the acoustic environment to the brain. This study focuses on identifying cellular mechanisms that allow this synapse to perform this task continuously and with highest temporal precision. Facilitation of the synaptic signal and the involvement of calciumdynamics in this process are being studied in depth.

Appointment by Referral Only (Except for Tax)
I hope that you, your family, your friends, and your business are all doing well, but if you need some help, maybe I can be of service.
I am a unique accountant with over 40 years of complex business experience. I provide Professional Quickbooks Bookkeeping, Accounting, and Tax Services. I also help setup businesses in the State of Hawaii.
My average client has a business or businesses that net between $30,000 and $2,000,000. They send me their bank and credit card statements each month, and I provide financial statements with comments and insights in return, which allows them to operate more effectively.
Once a quarter I do my client's GE tax filings and payroll tax filings, and at the end of each year, I do their taxes. During the year I keep an eye on their tax liability, and answer any of their questions that may come up.
I specialize in working with LLC/Soleproprietors and LLC/S Corporations, and I save my clients an average of $11,475 in taxes each year over what they were paying previously. I also handle my client's personal taxes. They learn that I am always looking after their best interests. As an example: I have always worked from my home office, which allows me to keep my fees down. Make sense? Why pay more for someone's seasonal office or view of Honolulu?
My clients enjoy focusing on what they do best, confident in the knowledge that the financial side of their lives is getting taken care of.
If I can be of service to you, your family, your friends, or your business, please don't hesitate to give me a call at (808) 419-0699.

The Hold Steady
The Hold Steady seems like a particularly apt name for the lauded New York band following the release of its fifth full-length, Heaven is Whenever, earlier this year. After a grip of albums that cranked the populist, classic-rock bombast of Thin Lizzy and Boston through frontman Craig Finn's hyper-literate, spoken-sung sensibilities, the group has stabilized its sound lately. That's partly due to the departure of longtime keyboardist Franz Nicolay and partly due to the fact that Finn's scattershot yet somehow tightly controlled narratives have begun to spring more from the gut. He's even — God forbid — starting to sing a little more now, although the most striking thing about Heaven is the more direct, even introspective bent, an approach that quotes Hüsker Dü both in spirit and in name (in the song "We Can Get Together"). That doesn't mean, of course, that the Hold Steady has gotten any less explosive on stage, where it continues to earn its title as the reigning thinking person's bar band. Even if they've gotten a bit too big to play the bars.

Excerpt from book:
"If we seriously hope to resolve the chaos the world is facing and to achieve the viable and sustainable global future everybody envisions, what is needed is a social-economic-political system in which all the Earth's seven billion inhabitants are able to develop and to engage their unique abilities in important and beneficial activities and, thus, to experience their lives as having meaning and significance. Necessarily, too, we will need to evolve goals for mankind and Planet Earth that people perceive as giving purpose and direction to their own lives and, therefore, as worthy of the commitment of their time and their creative energies. As far as I can see, there is no viable alternative."

Doolittle Raiders make final toast
The last of the Doolittle Raiders, all in their 90s, offered a final toast Saturday to their fallen comrades, as they pondered their place in history after a day of fanfare about their 1942 attack on Japan.
"May they rest in peace," Lt. Col. Richard Cole, 98, said, before the three Raiders present sipped an 1896 cognac from specially engraved silver goblets. The cognac was saved for the occasion after being passed down from their late commander, Lt. Gen. James "Jimmy" Doolittle, who was born in 1896.
In a ceremony Saturday evening at the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force near Dayton, Ohio, hundreds of people including family members of deceased Raiders watched as the three Raiders each called out "here" as a historian read the names of all 80 of the original airmen.
A B-25 bomber flyover helped cap an afternoon memorial tribute in which a wreath was placed at the Doolittle Raider monument outside the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force near Dayton. Museum officials estimated some 10,000 people turned out for Veterans Day weekend events honoring the 1942 mission credited with rallying American morale and throwing the Japanese off balance.
Acting Air Force Secretary Eric Fanning said America was at a low point, after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor and other Axis successes, before "these 80 men showed the nation that we were nowhere near defeat." He noted that all volunteered for a mission with high risks throughout, from the launch of B-25 bombers from a carrier at sea, the attack on Tokyo and lack of fuel to reach safe bases.
Only four of the 80 are still alive. The Raiders said, at the time, they didn't realize the mission would be an important event in turning the war's tide. It inflicted little major damage, but changed Japanese strategy and fired up Americans.
"It was what you do … over time, we've been told what effect our raid had on the war and the morale of the people," Lt. Col. Edward Saylor, 93, said in an interview.
Staff Sgt. David Thatcher, 92, of Missoula, Mont., said during the war, the raid seemed like "one of many bombing missions." The most harrowing part for him was the crash-landing of his plane, depicted in the movie "Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo."
Lt. Col. Robert Hite, 93, couldn't attend. Wallace Hite said his father made his own salute to the fallen with a silver goblet of wine at home in Nashville, Tenn., earlier in the week.

For years many people have always needed energy and better well-being. Yet, most are unaware that we're really sleeping together with the response regular. Ever felt that you have just slept one hour after you'd 4-5 hours of sleep? This can be the reason quality sleep is significant. Sleeping on a mattress that is bad can be devastating and here's why:
A mattress that is bad will cause many ailments including neck pain, backaches and worse spinal issues. It is better to purchase a medium-firm mattress, because it supplies a better equilibrium between relaxation and back support to us.
A lot of people don't know this, but arrangement and the number of coils in the mattress establishes the degree of support, while the quantity of padding on the mattress establishes the degree of relaxation. Adding some padding to your tough mattress may be a great option for people with back pain. With the range of mattress variety in the marketplace, private taste when it comes to back support and sleep comfort should be the guide for people that have spinal and backache issues. If you've got spinal difficulties, you should postpone any purchases that are notion.
Then when getting a brand new mattress, its coils that are crucial that you learn more about the positioning as well as the depth and quantity of padding in the mattress. Prepare yourself more on your own needs as well as the technical facets mattresses in order to make a purchase that is better and more special enquiries. Ask the sales person helping you as many important questions your knowledge on the topic of mattress will even enhance significantly and as possible. So resulting in a purchase that is great.
It is necessary to understand a fact that is often ignored before stopping my ideas about mattresses. Diet, slumber, exercise. Without the preceding, your health is not complete. On the other hand, the most significant of all is remainder. That is if you ask yourself and consider it, which of these can you live? No exercise for seven days? No food for seven days? I am confident you will cringe at the thought. Therefore a mattress that is suitable is essential.

Shabazz Palaces' music sounds like nothing else. Whether you describe them as "sci-fi," "way-out" or just a little strange, the Seattle duo's songs might as well come from outer space, considering how different they sound from most rap.
In the 18 songs and seven "astral suites" on their new album, Lese Majesty, Ishmael Butler and Tendai Maraire call out pretenders to society's thrones. "[We're] leaning on suckers like Duckworth in the paint," Butler tells KEXP host Kevin Cole.
More than that, for Butler and Maraire (a.k.a. Palaceer Lazaro and Fly Guy 'Dai), making music is about "working, creating something ... being about what you're doing." What they're creating here, as you'll see and hear in this performance of "They Come In Gold," is another mind-blowing set of experimental hip-hop.
Watch the rest of Shabazz Palaces' visit to KEXP on KEXP's YouTube channel.

It may take too long to search for your life to understand it. Most of the life one person passes it, as knows everything about life. But with the passage of time, if you have something in your soul, you will start thinking one day. Thinking about few questions. Thinking of is this real what you know? Is this everything you know is enough for you or there are lots more beyond your imagination? Ahh life. Sweet but very difficult to understand. Having lots of troubles but still you want to live forever. what the real life is? Think about it. Think and answer yourself. Is this what you wanted for whole of your life. Or these are just compromises to whom you gave the name of life long ago to satisfy yourself. Or you have made a perfect piles of things arround you and feeling like you are happy. Do you ralise, what was the thing you desired most in your life? money, love, luxury? what is was? and if you have it now what are you feeling now? Are you satisfied? I don't know how many will say yes or no, bu I know one thing, this is not your true desire you are running for. All the love money and luxury things will be meaningless one day. The day you will open your eyes and will feel nothing. Yes! you will feel nothing, althought you will have every thing arround you. you know why? Just because it wan not true desire that your life gave you when you took your first breath in this world. There was some thing else. Something honorable, something perfect. Think of it my dear. And you will get it. Yes, It is your inner soul. your soul that made a promiss to life for making it pure. And now whre are you? very far from your promiss, very far from your family, your loved ones just because of few desires which will vanish with the passage of time. And will leave regressions behind the. So think today, Do you know it? Do you really know the promiss of life and you keeping it?

- In Lockout, Snow uses the inventive phrase "toss my caber!"
- In Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy, Ron Burgundy does this quite a bit, at one point saying "Son of a beesting" and, more oddly, things like "Great Odin's Raven!" or "Knights of Columbus, that hurt!"
- In Galaxy Quest just before Jason and Gwen are forced to go through the Chompers? She says "screw", but it's obvious she's saying something else...
- In Alien Nation, the aliens use the term "sykes", which is later revealed to translate as "excrement cranium". Coincidentally, the main human character is named Sykes...
- Annie Wilkes, the insane villain from the film (and novel) Misery, replaces all swear words in her vocabulary with childishly bizarre words or phrases such as 'cock-a-doodie' or 'dirty birdie.'
- Seen early on in Almost Famous: Anita tells her mother to "Feck off"; when their mother reacts as to the actual swear, William (eleven years old at this point) comments that she said "feck". "What's the difference?" "The letter "U".
- In One Fine Day, George Clooney's character does this in order to discuss romance with his psychiatrist in front of his young daughter, leading to lines like, "I just want to find a fish who isn't afraid of my dark chocolate layer... and of course she'd have to love my cookie too."
- Perhaps lampshaded when it doesn't work. When talking about a woman in whom he is not really interested, the daughter later explains to the love interest that "He wants a fish who'll love his cookie, and she's not the type."
- W.C. Fields movies. Fields was the grandfather of this trope, since he wrote his own movie screenplays under bizarre pseudonyms. Phrases like "Godfrey Daniels!" littered his movies so that he could get around the censors of the day.
- In Splash, the tour guide who first sees the naked Madison shouts "Bocce Balls!"
- Johnny Dangerously. Romon Maroni is a Sir Swearsalot who delivers Cluster F Bombs that are entirely composed of unusual euphamisms such as "cork-soakers," "farging" "somanumbatches" and "icehole." Everyone reacts as if he's swearing profusely.
- In the first Spy Kids movie, Carmen reacts in dismay in one scene with "Oh shiiiiiiiiiitake mushrooms." Also done in the sequel. "You are so full of..."
- Idiocracy. Since most businesses have been converted into brothels, whatever their previous product was, is now used as a euphemism for sexual acts. For example, in Starbucks lattes are really handjobs and H&R Block now has "adult" tax returns.
- In one of the more famous examples that has since passed into common usage, the king of Swamp Castle in Monty Python and the Holy Grail makes repeated reference to his son's fiance's "huge...tracts of land". Amusingly enough, he meant it literally at first (this being the reason he arranged the marriage in the first place), then began using the phrase euphemistically while expounding on her other...* ahem* ...assets.
- This euphemism is carried over into Axis Powers Hetalia — Ukraine's Gag Boobs are often referred to (even in canon) as her 'tracts of land'.
- Sex Drive has "visiting my grandma" as a euphemism for having sex.
- Incidentally, this is also a Shout-Out to a skit in The State, in which a character mentions visiting his grandma, his tablemates tease him by suggesting that he has sex with her, and then he coolly admits it.
- In the clean, nice Utopia of 2032 in Demolition Man, you get a 1 credit fine for swearing, so people use 50s era euphemisms like "Jeese louise" and "jeepers"; the main character uses this to his advantage — when he's unable to figure out how to operate the 'modern' toilets of 2032, he stands beside the nearest microphone and swears a blue streak at it until he has enough swearing tickets to use in the washroom.
- Subverted in The Adventures of Baron Munchausen when the group are on the moon, and the queen (just her floating head) comes to save the Baron and friends from the cage. All the while, she is moaning and making odd noises. The girl (Sally?) asks what's wrong with her, to which the Baron replies "the king is...tickling her feet". Strangely enough, it soon cuts to the king and the queen, in bed, under the covers...and it turns out he IS in fact tickling her feet...
- Pineapple Express:
Dale: I'm sorry, that sounded really mean... just to hear that, that sounded really mean.Saul: No, I see. The monkey's out of the bottle now!Dale: What? That's not even... a figure of speech.Saul: Pandora can't go back into the box - he only comes out.
- In Om Shanti Om Om Kapoor frequently yells "Fish!" instead of the more obvious alternative.
- The original version of Bullet Proof Monk was rated R, when they revised the film to PG 13, they were forced to rename the character to Mr.FUN Ktastic as opposed to his original, more obscene moniker. The other result of this is that to avoid makeup costs, they simply glued a large gold chain to his chest to cover up his now un-PC tattoo.
- Cats & Dogs had one of the canines exclaim "Son of my Mom!" for a Parental Bonus.
- Used for an Overly Long Gag in Carry On Dick (1974) where the others are repeatedly trying to explain to a reverend that the only known fact about highwayman Dick Turpin is that he has a big (bleep). The Reverend's reply would indicate that an Unusual Euphemism had been used, and that he was Comically Missing the Point; e.g. "I cannot believe it's Jake the Woodcutter, for he's the only one around here with a big chopper!" To be fair; the Reverend's replies were probably a case of Obfuscating Stupidity since he was Dick Turpin.
- The antagonist of the Marx Brothers movie Room Service is fond of "jumping butterballs".
- Who Framed Roger Rabbit:
Baby Herman: My problem is I got a 50-year-old lust and a 3-year-old dinky.(Later in the same scene.)Baby Herman: The paper said Acme had no will. That's a load o' succotash.
- "Applesauce!" This is coming from Baby Herman, an old-timer in a toon baby's body. He uses euphemisms a few times in the movie. To be fair, "applesauce" was a common explicative in the twenties, used to denote frustration or disbelief, the way Herman used it.
- A subversion- it's obvious what is meant by Jessica and Marvin Acme "playing patty-cake'' They are really playing patty-cake
- A young Thora Birch brought us "yabbos" as a completely unbelievable euphemism for breasts in Hocus Pocus.
- The word for "apple" in every Slavic language is something like "yabloko." It's not hard to get to "yabbo," and then "yabbos."
- According to IMDB, "yabbos" was used in ''National Lampoon's Animal House for breasts in the phrase "major-league yabbos."
- In Fantastic Mr. Fox, all swear words are efficiently replaced with "cuss". People in the audience who catch on shouldn't have any trouble deciphering the uses of "cluster-cuss" and "cussin' with their heads", for example. In the background of one scene, "CUSS" is written in graffiti on a wall.
- A memorable example occurs in Labyrinth, when Sarah uses her lipstick to mark a tile on the ground while finding her way through the maze. As she leaves, a little goblin pushes the tile up, cusses angrily in gibberish, and ends with the colorful "Your mother is a fraggin ardvark!" before flipping the tile around and slamming it shut. Or something of the sort.
- Used in the 1994 movie Threesome when a character reveals what he has found out about the main character.
Stuart: Eddie is a proud homeowner. A homeboy. Homo Erectus... A fag.
- In Caddyshack the famous final line by Rodney Dangerfield was "Hey everybody, we're all gonna get laid." In television it's changed to, "Hey everybody, let's all take a shower," which doesn't sound like anything Czervik would say.
- Judge Sneed calls his sexually liberated niece Lacey Underall's varietism as "a certain zest of living".
- The on the Quotes page from The Lonely Guy is a subversion in which Steve Martin's character is writing a romance novel. It's supposed to illustrate how awkward he is at romance in general.
- A Christmas Story,
- when Ralphie's father is fighting with the furnace, or about anything else, he utters a string of jibberish which could sound like curses. Evidently, they listened to those bits over and over, slowed down and speeded up, to make sure there weren't any dirty words sounded out by mistake or otherwise.
- Ralphie says, "Oh fudddddddddddddge!" when he drops the lugnuts. The narration makes it clear that he didn't really say "fudge," but the "eff dash dash dash" word.
- When Ralphie loses control after being bullied once too often, he whales on Scott Farkus while nattering gibberish like his old man. The writer made Peter Billingsley memorize the nonsense syllables, perhaps out of fear that a recognizable word might slip out in the excitement.
- In The Tinkerbell Series much strange fairy slang is used. Including, but not limited to: "Who gives a pile of pebbles?", "Flitterific!", "Splinters!", "Teetering Teapots!", "By the second star!". And from the book: "Fly with you", "I'd fly backwards if I could" and the popular slur for humans: "Clumsies."
- In 10 Things I Hate About You:
Kat: Well, now that I've shown you The Plan, I'm gonna go and show The Plan to someone else.
- When asked later by Patrick how she distracted the teacher, she replies that she dazzled him with her "Wits".
- There's also the brilliant TV-edited "the squid hath hitteth the fan."
- Werewolf in a Girls' Dormitory gives us "coming of age", which seems to have something to do with lying. The insane vagueness of the phrase allows the Incognito Cinema Warriors XP crew to have a field day sliding it into different contexts.
- In Captain America: The First Avenger, Steve has no idea what "fondue" is and thinks it's got some kind of dirty meaning in French.
- In Spartacus, Depraved Bisexual Crassus indicates his interest in his slave Antoninus by means of a metaphor involving oysters and snails. Antoninus gets the point...and runs off to join Spartacus's slave rebellion.
- The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
- Ford exclaims "Oh Belgium!" at one point while under fire from the Vogons. This is a nod to the American version of the book, in which Belgium is mentioned to be a strong swear word everywhere except Earth.
- Also played with when Zaphod is running around, yelling "Hummakavula!" Once the group meets the character, Arthur says, "So that's Hummakavula. I thought [Zaphod] was just swearing."
- Up in the Air: An example that's about business euphemisms instead of sex, but is very unsettling: "Career Transition Counsellor". He helps your transit into unemployment.
- In an early scene in The Empire Strikes Back, C-3PO tells R2-D2 to "switch off" at one point, which is clearly meant to sound like he's telling him to "shut up".
- Subverted in the film Drive Angry: Piper pulls a come-hither move on a bar employee and tells Milton she's off to "paint her nails." Cut to the bar guy literally painting her toenails; he even lampshades it by asking, "Are we going to do it?" However, this could arguably be a form of foreplay.
- Well, she did initially tell him that it would depend on how well he would do her nails...
- "Aim for their tires."
- In Dirty Dancing, when asked how the performance went at the other hotel, Baby (innocently) tips off Penny that she and Johny had sex with the line "I didn't do the lift, but it was good". she might not have meant it as a euphemism, but it was one.
- "Are you out of your Vulcan mind, Spock?"
- Also, only a pissed-off Spock could make "Live long and prosper" sound like "Eat shit and die".
- In the 1933 adaptation of Little Women, Jo is constantly reprimanded for bursting out with 'Christopher Columbus' when astounded, surprised, or angry.
- In Bambi, the owl says "twitterpated" as a euphemism for "smitten".
- In Penguins of Madagascar, Skipper is not too comfortable in lederhosen:
Skipper: These 'hosen are riding up in my Bundesliga.
- Remember the Titans: When Petey tries to explain to the girls ogling Sunshine that he's gay:
Petey: I don't want to be the one to break ya'll's hearts, but Sunshine's from California.Girl: Yeah, a California dreamboat.Petey: No. Sunshine is from California. He's a Californian.
- After breaking his fist on Colossus's metal face, Deadpool spits out "Canada!" making it sound very much like a curse. Of course, it could be yet another reference from the medium-aware Deadpool to his actor's nationality.
- The 1927 film It is nothing but this. Characters constantly refer to the protagonist as having "it", which is a euphemism for "sex appeal". Even the theme song, "She's Got 'It'", uses it:
She's got 'it'
And plenty of it, brother
She's got 'it'
I never saw another have so much of such-and-such
Well, she's really not exquisite but after all what is it

The Forever Home Project: Dining Room Update
Happy Monday guys. We spent the weekend finally entertaining in the new house and it felt so great. We had three families over, 7 adults and 8 kids in all. The littles wore their Halloween costumes and the adults stuffed our faces with some super yummy chicken tortilla chili/soup (keep an eye out for the recipe in our newsletter soon) and watched lots of college football. I've been fortunate to score some major deals lately and we finally have the house furnished enough to accommodate … [Read more...]
The Forever Home Project: Decorating a Completely Empty Space
I had to laugh when Julee emailed to say this was the topic she wanted to tackle for her next contribution to The Forever Home Project. Why? Because we've been experiencing the same dilemma of having to start from scratch in our new dining room, seeing as how it's the first (and likely only) dining room we'll ever have - we have no furniture for it. I was super excited to see how she was tackling the challenge and to pick up some tips. Julee didn't disappoint, either - I loved her process and … [Read more...]

Ready for Christmas? I'm not. Let's all prepare together with nine Christmas tunes by nine gay dudes. There's one bisexual and a couple of old-school closet types in the mix, but that just makes the whole list feel like a big disagreeable gay family to me. Love that.
Anthony Perkins, "The Christmas Song"
In the '50s, big screen heartthrobs were morally obligated to produce records, and Anthony Perkins cut a few Christmas jams before Alfred Hitchcock boarded him up in the Bates Motel. Tony P. has such a sweet voice, doesn't he? Perfect for wooing Tab Hunter into the sheets.
Elton John, "Step Into Christmas"
LOVE. THIS. Elton John makes Christmas a spastic, danceable event with "Step Into Christmas." Hope you appreciate that this clip is apparently part of David Gest's Christmas playlist, as the video indicates. The irony isn't lost on me.
Liberace, "Christmas Medley"
Liberace was definitely un-out in his lifetime, but the important thing is his Christmas medley is gayer and more powerful than any denial. I'm holding my candelabra like a torch!
Johnny Mathis, "Winter Wonderland"
As I said in my Christmas balladeers post, Johnny Mathis nails the abject homosexuality of Christmas. The smooth timbre! The gleefulness! The fun! Grriiiiiiiiiin!
Neil Patrick Harris, "Deck the Halls"
This is a man who knows how to point out the word "gay" in a Christmas classic and make it cheeky as hell. That's a reason NPH remains a major heart thief in the gay world. Harold and Kumar, step aside.
Boy George, "White Xmas"
Oh, HELL YES to this weird thing. Note the blippy electronics and the un-Irving Berlin macabre qualities Boy George brings to this trip. I picture Bing Crosby hearing this and immediately collapsing in a gay panic.
RuPaul "I Just Can't Wait ('til Christmas)"
Thank you, Ru, for using "gay" in a Christmas song and actually meaning gay. There's an elf at the North Pole who is crying in pride at this watershed moment.
Queen, "Thank God It's Christmas"
I forget about Queen sometimes because boring straight people often use Queen fandom to feel cool, but "Thank God It's Christmas" is one of my favorite yuletide go-tos. Freddie is just the definitive proclaimer, and therefore he makes Christmas feel like a totally kickass experience.
Wham!, "Last Christmas"
Obligation. Still: merry as hell.

Season 2, Episode 2: Aired on June 18, 2007.
Part 2 (Pt 1)
Juniper Creek. Margie looks around curiously and watches as a family runs down into a cellar-type thing for no apparent reason. She is intrigued, to say the least. Nicki hands her a long skirt to put on, so that she won't stick out so much.
They arrive and call for Wanda. She comes running out with Joey crawling on the floor behind her. Nicki jumps to the not-far-fetched conclusion that Wanda has done something to him, but Wanda insists that it must be food poisoning. However, when Margie goes to investigate, she determines that he is drunk. Wanda argues, not wanting to believe that he's fallen off the wagon, but eventually has a little freak-out along the lines of "I can't do this again!" Margene drags Joey to the bathroom by herself, while Wanda begs Nicki to get them to the bus station. Nicki agrees and goes to tell Margie the plan, just as the state police pull up. Wanda and Nicki have a fit.
Bill and Don, still figuring out what to do and discussing Owens. Bill calls Margie to ask her to help Barb with dinner, so she clues him in to the fact that she and Nicki are at the compound and the police are there. While Nicki and Wanda try to shove Joey out the back door, Margie stays cool as a cucumber and completely handles the situation. She tells Nicki to explain everything to Bill and tells Wanda to come help her with the police. Bill just tells Nicki to keep Wanda under control. Thanks for the help, Bill!
Juniper Creek. Roman is listening to Adaleen and sister wife Emmylou Harris sing for their album, Keep Sweet. Some randoms come running in to warn Roman that the state police are on the compound. Alby asks, "Is this the end of days, Papa?"
Lois is talking to her pet chicken (there's something I never thought I'd write) when Bill calls her, demanding to know if she ratted out Joey. He also tells her that the police are at Joey's.
Wanda is now talking to a couple of officers, holding the baby to make herself look more sympathetic. She tells them that she's already told all this to the JCPD and that someone must have a vendetta against her. She goes on to tell them that this is not the first
poisoning that has occurred and tells them that Lois can tell them all about it. Margie has been nodding her head behind Wanda up until this point. She looks like she's going to be sick. Her phone rings and she tells Bill that the cops are headed to Lois' right about now. He gives her some unheard instructions (presumably to head off the police and go handle Lois) and Margie channels Barb when she answers back quickly and calmly, "On it!"
Sister Wife Central. Ben is introducing Brynn to his little brothers and Teeny as he shows her their impressive backyard. They end up at Nicki's, where Barb is hanging up a "Happy Anniversary" banner. Barb looks shocked to see them and Ben cutely pulls Brynn closer to him, like he's afraid Barb's going to scream or something. He introduces them and both are super polite to each other. Brynn asks about the anniversary and how many years Barb's been married.
Barb: Six. Sixteen! Nineteen! It's nineteen.
Heh. Ben tells her that Brynn knows. Barb visibly eases up and inquires about her studies and then asks if she cooks. When Brynn answers in the affirmative, Barb smiles.
Sarah is eating a whole box of donuts with Scott, the group leader from last week. He's talking about his fraternal twin brother, who became a bishop at age 27. Hold the phone! This guy is older than 27? Okay, I no longer like him. Even if he thought she was in college, which apparently is what she told him at first, that's still quite an age gap, if we're assuming he's at least 29 or 30. Sarah has to come clean about her age and tells him she's only 18, which obviously upsets him. Then she says that a ten year age difference isn't that bad, which means he's 28.
Um, when you're in your 20s or 30s, a ten year age gap isn't that bad. When you're 18, it's pretty bad. He tells her that she should be honest with people that she starts relationships with and that they still could've been friends. Then he looks at her all lovingly and … ew.
Juniper Creek. The cops are leaving Lois' and when she walks back inside, we see that Margie is indeed there. Lois thinks Wanda fingered her, but Margie insists it wasn't intentional. Lois asks, "What is happening to this family?" Margie just picks up wedding photos of the first two wives and tells Lois that it's Nicki's anniversary. Lois remarks that Nicki went after Bill like a spider, which is interesting, because I was always under the impression that Roman sort of shoved her off on Bill after he paid for all of Barb's treatment. Margie's face says she agrees with me.
Lois goes on to say that she doesn't understand how the three of them can like each other so much, seeing as she and her sister wives don't get along at all. Then, she says that she tried in the marriage. That she had so much to give. Margie smiles at her, understanding completely, but Lois goes stone cold.
Sister Wife Central. Barb is leaving for her class, but is sidetracked by a black-eyed and neck-brace-wearing Wendy. Wendy tells her that she was not responsible for the exposure, but that Bill won't believe her. She does not approve of plural marriage, but she could never do that to Barb. She goes on to explain about the Hummer and the accident and asks Barb to tell Bill to stop having people follow her. Barb insists that Bill would not do that, but says she will talk to him. At one point, Raymond pokes his head out and Barb identifies him as "our son." I'm not sure if she's just being open because she knows Wendy already knows or if she's assuming Wendy doesn't know exactly how many children she has, which would be silly. Barb decides to go back inside instead of going to class.
Bill and Don are at Owens' office and are not doing well. Owens keeps going on and on about First Lady Johnson and how she wanted to ban billboards. They try to tell him that the billboard needs to be taken down immediately, but Owens keeps giving them the run-around. Bill's had enough and yells at him about respecting the First Lady and fixing their sign.
Sister Wife Central. Rhonda calls Barb and tells her that she misses her and that she is sorry for the things she said to her. In case anyone is wondering, she said she hated her when Barb wouldn't let her stay at the house with her and made her go back to Juniper Creek with Adaleen. Anyway, she says she's sorry about what happened at the Governor's Mansion and that she hopes she feels better. Then she just hangs up. Barb is rightfully creeped out by the creepy girl.
Don and Bill watch as people paint over the graffiti. Bill goes on and on and on about how he just wants to be normal and whine, whine, whine. Don shuts him up when he says he has sixteen mouths to feed. Wow. I had no idea. We've never seen any Embry children besides Beaver. No wonder he's always sleeping over with Ben. Bill finally tells Don that he is aware that he is affected by this and that he takes responsibility for his family, as well as his own. Don tells Bill he'll stick with him until the end, but that end needs to be later rather than sooner.
Sister Wife Central. Barb walks into the kitchen and sees that Bill is home, helping with dinner. I guess Brynn went home. She watches as he engages in a cute lesson with Wayne and Raymond about telling time. Speaking of, where the hell are Margie's boys? They were outside before, but was Teeny watching them while Barb cooked? I feel as though she's too young for that.
Bill tells her that Nicki and Margene are at the compound and then tells her about Joey falling off the wagon. "Oh, Bill," Barb sighs, as she puts her hands over her mouth and basically looks ten times more upset than Bill has during this entire fiasco. Bill then gives her a watch as an anniversary gift. It's waterproof, which I think is a reference to all the swimming she did last week. He acknowledges all the sacrifices that she's made and is sorry that she missed her class. "I didn't mind," she admits. That's because she's awesome.
Nicki and Margene arrive home. Nicki is concerned for Joey and Wanda because they only have each other and no other spouses to lean on. "How are they going to make it through this crisis with only each other?" This really shows how narrow Nicki's worldview is. I mean, normal married people handle crises all the time, you know? But she just can't even fathom that kind of world outside Juniper Creek. Margie just smiles at her.
The four spouses have a nice dinner, with Margie telling them funny stories of the compound and some teasing about the forgotten anniversary. Nicki tells Bill, "Thank God I was (at the compound). Thank God. I can only imagine what would've happened if I hadn't been." Um, you mean with all the screaming and freaking out and running away you did? Yeah, thank God. Shut up, Nicki. And what does Margie do after this pronouncement? Just smiles sweetly, picks up her dishes and lets Nicki have her night.
Once they're alone, Nicki tells Bill that she saw the billboard and he tells her not to tell Barb and Margie. Later, Barb walks outside to apologize to Nicki about forgetting. They say they love each other, but Nicki admits that she didn't marry love. She married for the Principle. Barb says she didn't and that she loves their family more and more. "That frightens me," Nicki tells her. She doesn't understand how a marriage can survive on love alone. She argues that without the sanctity of marriage, it's just random couplings that have no purpose.
Nicki: I mean, how will we survive the bad times on just love?
And she really doesn't get it. This is another great scene that shows how differently Nicki sees the world, as opposed to the other three people in the marriage. And it all goes back to her upbringing. I think that of the four them, she's the only one who really believes in the Principle and who is in this marriage for the right reasons.
Barb doesn't even try to argue with her. She just wishes her a happy anniversary and tells her about Wendy Hummer. "You can't do that, Nicki." Nicki says she knows.
Barb: You would do anything for this family.
Nicki: You would, too.
Nicki kisses Barb on the forehead and goes inside, where Bill gives her an electric drill for her anniversary. She is ecstatic. I liked that scene. It didn't really make me more sympathetic to Nicki, but it made me understand where she's coming from a little better. Also, with all this talk of the Principle, I've decided to do some research so that I know what the hell I'm talking about.
Juniper Creek. The police show up outside Joey's again and when he goes to answer, he just turns himself in. He lets himself get handcuffed and led away, while "Oh, Happy Day" leads us into the end credits. Oh, Joey.
That was a great episode, minus the boring Bill parts. I'd be happy if the show just focused on the wives, like how West Wing was supposed to just focus on the staff and not the President.

Documentary filmmaker Chris Smith (American Movie, American Job) tackles the issues of home and stability (in the literal sense) in his new film Home Movie - a collective examination of five of the most eccentric houses spread throughout America. The film takes an intimate approach in presenting a mosaic of colorful characters and their approaches to making a house a home. The end result is a plethora of engaging diatribes on the meaning of "home," delivered in grand passion by the members of the various households.

Linux Mint News update
This is just a brief news update about what is going on at the moment:
* Release date: The latest ISO is passing all my tests and I'm approving it for an RC release. It still needs to go through Exploder's testing and it requires his approval before it can go out publicly.
* Windows installer: Mint4Win is back and it's fully functional. The version that comes with the CD installs what's on the CD. We're also considering to maintain a standalone version which would be able to download and install editions of Linux Mint as we release them.
* Translations: The RC release will come without full localization. In particular, the installation slides are only in English and for some of the new tools (the new software and backup managers for instance) most of what is on the screen will appear in English. We'll ask the community to give us a hand on this and we'll wait until all major languages are fully supported to release the stable version of Linux Mint 9, but we decided not to hold the release of the RC in the meantime.

I for one, will not be moving to systemd, ever. If Mint moves to it, it will do so without me (I've been on Mint for about a year now and have been happy with it).
It's good to see people checking to see whether it makes sense in terms of effort to remove systemd from Debian.
Honestly, probably not worth the effort. You will have to fork udev, provide an alternative to logind, etc...
Users won't actually see any difference when switching to systemd apart from the syntax for starting/stopping services. The whole thing with Debian is political and their users are put in the middle. Debian diverged too much for vanilla and doesn't want to adapt.
This is the kind of age where we can afford sacrificing UNIX principles in order to keep up with other platforms.
We really should be concerned with other bad things like the crazy amount of package splitting distributions such as ArchLinux and Debian do. That in my opinion is what breaks KISS principle by diverging from upstream, and not a more advanced base system/init system.

By Ed Bouchette Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
The Steelers today came to a contract agreement with another free agent, Justin Hartwig, with the idea he will become their starting center.
Hartwig agreed to a two-year contract for almost $4 million, according to ESPN. He was released by the Carolina Panthers, where he was working on a five-year, $17 million contract.
Last year, the Steelers' biggest signing in free agency was center Sean Mahan of Tampa Bay. Mahan, like Hartwig, also can play guard and may either compete with Chris Kemoeatu at that position or become the swing man as a backup to both guard and center.

COA report gives senior services view
Members of the St. Mary Parish Council heard the Council on Aging's annual report Wednesday from Executive Director Beverly Domengeaux.
In the past fiscal year, the agency delivered 51,290 meals across the parish and provided 5,273 homemaker services, 4,616 transportation runs and 2,358 respite services.
The agency also conducted a safe driving course for seniors now known as "smart driving," that affords participants discounted insurance rates, Domengeaux said.
Also, the agency took 42 senior citizens to Mount Rushmore.
"They had never seen out west and they were really impressed," she said.
Other field trips were to the prison rodeo at Angola, the World War II Museum in New Orleans and most recently to Cajun Village to see the Christmas lights.
The agency also has delivered 325 Christmas food baskets and will do so again for New Year's.
"It's been a good year," she said. "Thanks to your generosity and the generosity of some of the citizens and organizations, we're going strong."
In other business the council:
—Introduced an ordinance that would require the council as well as all of the public bodies under its jurisdiction to advertise for and award contracts to the lowest bidder for accounting services.
—Adopted an ordinance amending the current fiscal year budget.
—Passed resolutions on an engineering services agreement on the Morgan City levee improvement project; a certificate of substantial completion by Acadiane' Renovations, Ltd. on the replacement of boilers and associated work at the courthouse; an engineering services agreement on the pump stations elevation project; and an amendment on the agreement with Quality Engineering & Surveying, LLC on the drainage project between Boudreaux Street and Gilmore Drive in Berwick.

Website Refresh (again)
- Status Closed
- Budget $30 - $250 USD
- Total Bids 14
Project Description
We need someone to redesign/ rearrange our website [url removed, login to view] to reflect a new product we are distributing here in Aus. The new product is from [url removed, login to view] and is called SecurAccess so we'd like our home page to highlight this new product and then it leads to a new section devoted to SecurAccess where people can click on links to download white papers, product information, case studies, take a demo or download proof of concept software. We'd also like to edit these pages in the future etc. For example if news has to be posted we can do it without having to change the overall layout of the website.
We need to have the changes final and published by this weekend so please only bid on this project if you can work with us (submitting drafts, making modifications and final copy) and can realistically finish the job bt the weekend. We will be available through Skype and email for answering questions, approving changes etc.
We want to make changes to the existing website, not develop a completely new site. Please have a look at the existing site [url removed, login to view] and also we want to incorporate some content off the [url removed, login to view] site. The existing site already has Joomla as the CMS.
It is not a major job and will be price dependent so feel free to rebid.
This is being reposted because we awarded this job to a student in Bangladesh who could not finish the job on time. We have files(source code and webarchives) of what he/ she did.Get free quotes for a project like this
