Raymond C. Vaughan was born in 1887 in Lapier, Michigan, the son of a prominent political functionary who was once the Michigan Secretary of State. His family moved to New York in his infancy and he grew up in Franklinville. He attended the University of Michigan from which he received a law degree, was admitted to the bar in 1910, and began practice in partnership in Buffalo.
During this time, Vaughan long represented the International Rail Company. He was elected to the Supreme Court for the Eighth District in 1936, sitting as a trial judge from 1937 to 1948, then on the Appellate Division Fourth Department from January of 1948 to his retirement at the close of 1957. He resumed his private practice in 1958, remaining so engaged until his death in Buffalo on December 9, 1964.

The Hadley Players presently featuring "Sassy Mamas," have made some changes. They have changed their location from the Harlem School of the Arts, to the Poet's Den Theatre, located at 309 East 108th Street in Manhattan and have a new Artistic Director, Roger Parris. Ward Nixon who has been the Artistic Director for 3 years recently resigned. Unfortunately, Ward was recently admitted to the hospital to have a tumor removed. So this writer wishes him well and better health in future.
A comedy directed by Pat Floyd, "Sassy Mamas" is the story of three middle aged women who find one another undergoing a transition in life. Having lost their men to death and divorce, they find their dating options slim. They now face the prospect of dating younger men; a prospect that one of the feisty women finds quite appealing while the other two are somewhat reluctant to take the plunge into Cougarville.
Via her play, Celeste Bedford Walker gives her characters professional and responsible positions. Wilhemina Sorenson portrayed by Cooki Winborn, is a national security advisor who works for the White House and lives at the Watergate Apartments in Washington, D.C. Wilhemina is embarrassed by the idea of dating a younger man so when journalist Wes Washington is sent to do a story on her she becomes concerned for her reputation when he falls for her. As a public figure, Wilhemina is nervous about being seen in the company of a younger man so thwarts his advances, despite the fact he tells her age doesn't matter. Lonely and attracted to Wes (DeSean Stokes), Wilhemina is in denial and just can't seem to get over the hurdle of the difference in their ages.
Her friend Jo Billie Massey (Richarda Abrams) is a hospital administrator in charge of running a busy hospital. Jo Billie is ready for a younger man and makes no bones about it. She has her life planned out to the tee and even wants the young man she has scoped out as her lover to sign a contract wherein he must put up and shut up, in exchange for a massive amount of money. Jo Billie runs the show telling LaDonte, portrayed by Donald Dash that he must quit his job, move in with her and do whatever she tells him to do and only speak when spoken to. She knows he has a child, but as far as Jo Billie is concerned LaDonte has to deal with his life outside of their arrangement on his own time. She insists his personal life must never impact her or interfere with their arrangement. If it does, he breaks the contract and must leave immediately. Conflicted, LaDonte, eventually swayed by the money, agrees to sign.
Gentle Mary Wooton (M. Drue Williams) was married to an Ambassador, who after years of marriage requested a divorce, thus leaving Mary devastated and depressed long after the divorce was final. Never having been alone and with grown daughters, Mary is afraid. She decides to remarry an older man who at least is among her circle of friends. That is, until Colby, her young gardener, played by Nicholas Miles Newton, complicates things.
Although there is much hi-jinks and comedic aspects to "Sassy Mamas," it depicts situations that many women face in the apex of their life when they have raised families and suddenly find themselves alone. They do not want to become nurse mates to older single men who are now ailing and slowing down and simply want someone to take care of them. A problem for women who have cared for their men and families most of their lives and now face freedom and the chance to do the things they couldn't do under the rigors of family life. Wilhelmina, Jo Billie and Mary find themselves tied to the conditioning of their former life while on the brink of a new life. So the production becomes the story of new beginnings and the courage to seize the day. You will have to see the play to learn the final outcome.
Costume design is by Katherine Roberson; set design by Bill Wood, Lighting and sound by Derrick Minter and Melanie Beal; props by Kimberlee Monroe and stage management by Robert Gonzalez.
Go see "Sassy Mamas" but better hurry though! The show runs Tuesday through Saturday at 7:30 pm and Sunday at 2:30 pm but is slated to close on Sunday, March 23rd.

The Instax 200 and Instax Instant Color Film will begin shipping in late December for $69.99 and $28.99 respectively.
Fujifilm USA Press Release
Instant Photo System Delivers Quality Instant Prints for Law Enforcement, Health Care, Commercial Use
VALHALLA, N.Y., November 14, 2008 – FUJIFILM U.S.A., Inc. today announced it is introducing the popular Instax 200 Instant Film Camera and Instant Color Film to the U.S. market, making available an instant photo system that has enjoyed success in Asia and Europe for years.

The compatible Instax Instant Color Film is professional grade and provides superior performance.
"In recent months, as availability of instant film has dwindled, we've received inquiries from customers in a range of markets here in the U.S. including health care, law enforcement, insurance, real estate, and others, who really need to continue using a traditional instant film solution" said Christian Fridholm, vice president of marketing, consumables, Imaging Division, FUJIFILM U.S.A. "We believe that people familiar with instant photography, but who are new to the Fujifilm Instax brand, will be impressed with the intuitive design of the Instax 200, and will be especially pleased with the vivid colors and bright whites delivered by our Instax Instant Color Film."
The Instax 200 and Instax Instant Color Film will begin shipping in late December and will be available for purchase through Fujifilm's professional dealer network. MSRP for the Instax 200 is $69.99 and a 20-pack of Instax Instant Color Film is $28.99.

The Instax 200 Camera uses Fujifilm Instax Instant Color Film, which was first introduced in 1997 and has been sold successfully in other parts of the world since. Fujifilm started producing instant films in Japan in the 1980's and began introducing branded peel apart type instant films (FP100C, FP100B, FP3000B) in the U.S. in 2003. With Instax Instant Color Film, the image develops in front of your eyes eliminating the need to peel it apart. All Fujifilm instant films imported into the US are professional grade films, and therefore are sold only to dealers and photo labs that support the professional photography market. FUJIFILM instant films may be purchased at the same locations that sell traditional FUJIFILM professional film (Color Reversal, Color Negative and B&W).

Bruno Goes Where No Comedy Has Gone Before
- Christian Hamaker Crosswalk.com Contributing Writer
- 2009 10 Jul
DVD Release Date: November 17, 2009
Theatrical Release Date: July 10, 2009

Genre: Comedy

Director: Larry Charles
Actors: Sascha Baron Cohen, Gustaf Hammarsten, Clifford Bannagale, Chibundo Orukwowo, Chigozie Orukwowo, Josh Meyers
EDITOR'S NOTE: The following critique references adult subject matter and contains explicit descriptions of objectionable material depicted in the film being reviewed. Parents, please exercise caution before allowing children to read.
Last year's boisterous comedy Tropic Thunder thrived by mocking the absurdities of Hollywood celebrity culture, but in one jarring scene late in the film, the dialogue becomes bluer than blue. Jack Black's drug-deprived character, who has asked to be restrained so as to prevent him from getting his fix, bargains with his costars to untie him and allow him to satisfy his cravings. In explicit detail, he describes a certain sexual act he's willing to perform on his male friends if only they release him. The dialogue is vivid and extreme—the words of a desperate man willing to do anything to feed his addiction.
The sexual shock comedy that made for one startling scene in Tropic Thunder forms the basis for the feature-length comedy Brüno. The film, written by and starring Sascha Baron Cohen (Borat) in the title role, multiplies the vivid dialogue and adds several moments of explicit sexual imagery in telling its comic tale of a gay Austrian TV host who wants to conquer America's entertainment complex.
Cohen's previous film, Borat, featured a sexually crazed main character who wanted to marry Pamela Anderson, but Brüno takes the sexual dimension of this latest Cohen creation to new limits. Brüno is proudly out of the closet, and the movie is as much an examination of how different Americans react to his often outrageous language and mannerisms as it is a depiction of one flamboyant gay man's quest to be a star.
Brüno is happily hosting his own TV show and living with a young boyfriend in Austria when a fashion-runway mishap leads to his dismissal. He leaves behind his boyfriend and their sexual escapades (which are depicted in one eye-popping sequence) and heads for America, determined to take the country by storm by following the path of other successful U.S. celebrities. Along for the journey is Brüno's assistant's assistant, Lutz (Gustaf Hammarsten), who longs to be Brüno's romantic partner.
Brüno is much more interested in being a media sensation, but a series of missteps hinder his mission. He tries to become an actor, but his exhibitionism isn't a good fit for someone relegated to being an extra (his repeated efforts to stand out as an extra in the TV show Medium constitute one of the film's best—and relatively cleanest—moments), and a pilot TV show hosted by Brüno that features images of a talking penis is harshly rejected. He visits a psychic in hopes he'll hear of imminent career success, and ends up performing imagined fellatio on the called-up spirit of a former pop-music star. An interview with Paula Abdul goes awry, and his attempt to proposition Ron Paul only angers the Texas politician.
Following the lead of Angelina Jolie and Madonna, he adopts a black baby (Chibundo Orukwowo and Chigozie Orukwowo) from Africa and stuffs him into a suitcase for a trip to his new home in the United States. Later, he riles a talk-show audience with his views on alternative parenting of the child, whom he proudly labels a "gayby."
Brüno concludes that only straight men can succeed in the States. His attempted transformation involves counseling from a minister and another counselor who advises him to spend more time with straight men. A resulting hunting trip is the film's comedic high point, but a visit to a "swingers party" is little more than thinly disguised pornography, as the "swingers" are shown engaging in various sex acts (sex organs and penetration images are blacked out in the film), supplemented by running commentary from Brüno, who watches the heterosexual intercourse with intense interest.
The Bible repeatedly condemns sexual immorality and impurity (1 Corinthians 6:13, 1 Corinthians 6:18; 1 Corinthians 10:8; Colossians 3:5 among many others). The behavior of Brüno and others in the film clearly qualifies, but the movie, of course, has no interest in biblical admonitions apart from using them as further fodder for the film's humor. Brüno's ministerial counseling session is about as serious as Borat's trip to the Pentecostal church—designed to make the Christians look ridiculous (although these scenes could be crueler than they are).
Is the film funny? Very much so at times, but as with all comedies built on outrageous gags, Brüno goes too far—in this case, way too far. It goes beyond previous limits for this type of film and, especially in the "swingers" scene, further pushes pornography into the mainstream of our culture and expands the boundaries of what can be depicted in an "R"-rated feature. There are a few laughs along the way, but a larger cost to be paid. One can only imagine what further images and behaviors will comprise future "outrageous" comedies now that Brüno has lowered the bar.
Questions? Comments? Contact the writer at email@example.com.
- Language/Profanity: Lord's name taken in vain; tons of bad language, including the "f" word and all sorts of sexually explicit dialogue; "queer" used several times to describe the openly gay Bruno; "s" word; a baby listens to profane hip-hop music through headphones; the child's shirt labels him a "Gayby"; the child is shown in photos as a mock Jesus on a cross, then in a hot tub with other men, then in the same location while two of the men engage in a sex act; several references to oral sex; "bitch"; Bruno says a gospel presentation was "really hot" and later refers to the pastor as "Reverend BJ."
- Smoking/Drinking: Bruno pours a drink for one of his interview subjects; says he doesn't have enough Ecstasy for everyone; he appears to snort something off a musician's shoulder.
- Sex/Nudity: In general, all manners of frontal and rear nudity are shown; a costume has appendages dangling from the groin area; scene of waxing (rear) at a salon; a naked man is used as a serving table for snack food; several seconds of footage of male, lower frontal nudity and low-angle shots of Bruno dancing in skimpy underwear as part of a TV show pilot; an extended shot of Bruno performing simulated sex acts on the imagined ghost of a male music star; several scenes of sex toys being handled; a sequence where Bruno and his boyfriend show different male-sex games; Bruno attends a "swingers" party, featuring several scenes of men and women engaged in sex acts (genitals are blacked out in these scenes, but still very explicit); a demonstration of various sexual positions; two men undress each other in front of a crowd and start kissing.
- Violence/Crime: Discussion of a picture of a fetus leads to the conclusion that the baby should be aborted; as part of Middle East peace negotiations, Bruno advises two men not to kill each other, but to shoot a Christian instead; circumstances behind Bruno's adoption of an African baby are murky; a mother agrees to put her child through extreme acts like liposuction if it can guarantee the child's role in a photo shoot, including a shot of a Nazi baby pushing a Jewish baby into an oven; Bruno is whipped and falls through a window; women's outer garments are ripped off before an extreme-fighting cage match.
- Religion: Bruno and another man walk past an anti-gay group while nude; a pastor advises Bruno to accept Christ and leave behind any behaviors that might remind him of his homosexual lifestyle; pastor presents the gospel to Bruno and counsels him to leave his homosexual lifestyle.

New Cassini Image At Saturn Shows 'A' Ring Contains More Debris Than Once Believed
New Cassini Image At Saturn Shows 'A' Ring Contains More Debris Than Once Believed
April 6, 2006
(Source: University of Colorado at Boulder)
Views of Saturn's stunning ring system from above by the Cassini-Huygens spacecraft now orbiting the planet indicate the prominent A ring contains more debris than once thought, according to a new University of Colorado at Boulder study.
Previous observations with the Voyager spacecraft in the early 1980s found the ring was more transparent, indicating less material, said Joshua Colwell of CU-Boulder's Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics. But new calculations based on May 2005 observations with Cassini's Ultraviolet Imaging Spectrograph, or UVIS, indicates the opacity of the ring is up to 35 percent higher than previously reported.
Because of the uneven distribution of the ring particles - which range in size from dust grains to school buses - the transparency of the rings depends on the angle from which they are viewed, he said. The particles are arranged essentially parallel in long stringy clumps as large as 60 feet across, 16 feet thick and 160 feet long, according to models produced from observation data, said Colwell.
A paper on the subject by Colwell, Larry Esposito and Miodrag Sremcevic of CU-Boulder's LASP appears in the April 1 issue of Geophysical Research Letters, or GRL. Esposito is science team leader for UVIS, a $12.5 million instrument designed and built at CU-Boulder by LASP that is riding on the Cassini spacecraft.
A new image released by the team in conjunction with the GRL paper shows the distribution of the ring material. The opaque B ring has more material than the A ring, located just outside it, and the A ring is densest near its inner edge, according to the team. The new clumps observed by Cassini mean a larger amount of material overall said Colwell, a LASP research associate and UVIS science team member.
The particles are trapped in ever-changing clusters of debris that are regularly torn apart and reassembled by gravitational forces from the planet, Colwell said. The size and behavior of the clusters were deduced by observing flickering light as the ring passed in front of a star in a process known as stellar occultation, he said.
"The flickers are like a time-lapse movie of a car's headlights taken from the other side of a picket fence," said Colwell. "The flickering would provide us details about the pickets."
The observations of the particle clusters indicate the A ring is primarily empty space. A close-up view of the rings would show as "short, flattened strands of spiral arms with very few particles between them," he said.
The Cassini-Huygens mission is a cooperative project of NASA, the European Space Agency and the Italian Space Agency. The Jet Propulsion Laboratory, a division of the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, manages the Cassini-Huygens mission for NASA's Science Mission Directorate in Washington, D.C.
The Cassini orbiter was designed, developed and assembled at JPL. For more information about the Cassini-Huygens mission, visit saturn.jpl.nasa.gov. The ultraviolet imaging spectrograph team home page is at lasp.colorado.edu/cassini.

The Art Nouveau house no. 74 was built by the District Commercial Savings Bank from Benešov u Prahy in 1904 – 1905 according to a project of Marcel Dusil. It houses an exhibition, opened to the general public in 1992, devoted to the history of the town and its surrounding areas, regional landmarks and objects of art as well as artists who lived and worked here. The ethnographic exhibition is of special interest as it presents mainly the folk clothing and textiles, furniture, glass underpaintings, and objects of folk plastic art.
As the chronicle written by the so called Beneš Minorita states, the Benešov Minorite Convent was established in 1247 by a provost of the Old Boleslav canonry Tobiáš of Benešov. Tobiáš was supposed to give the new community the Benešovicové family seat that was located on a promontory, nowadays known as Karlov, above the present day town. Only the remains of the pentagonal presbytery with two gothic windows were preserved.
An architectonically exceptional set of hotel rooms and services having a supra-regional significance was established in the historical centre of Benešov, on the top of the elevationNa Karlově, away from the traffic. The current houses have irreplaceable authenticity of theoriginal buildings, contributing significantly to the value of the place.
This modern three-star hotel in "the heart of Benesov" offers 20 double rooms (6x mini bar), 6 treble rooms and one room with threshold-free access for disabled persons, all equipped with a bathroom and lavatory, a TV with satellite broadcasting, a telephone and an Internet connection.
The hotel offers accommodation in single, double, treble and 4-bed rooms, as well as five suites, two of which feature a kitchenette.

PARIS (AFP) - Kalashnikov-wielding robbers attacked the motorcade of a Saudi prince in Paris, making off with 250,000 euros (S$417,100) in cash and reportedly stealing "sensitive" documents, French police said on Monday.
The spectacular robbery took place in northern Paris late on Sunday as the motorcade was making its way from a plush hotel on the Champs Elysees to an airport in Le Bourget, said police, who confirmed there were no injuries. A gang of "between five and eight" thieves in two BMWs hijacked the first of around 10 vehicles in the convoy, driving off with the three occupants before letting them go, police said.
A police source and Le Parisien daily had said the men were armed with Kalashnikov rifles but an official later clarified to say they were carrying hand guns. The attack took place late on Sunday around Porte de la Chapelle in northern Paris, a police source said. The car attacked was a supply vehicle that was stolen and later found burnt, this source added.
The Saudis' Mercedes and one of the thieves' BMWs were later found abandoned and burned out in the village of Saint-Mesmes, to the northeast of Paris, approximately 40km from the scene of the crime.
The police found two 500 euro notes, documents in Arabic and medication near the burnt-out wrecks of the two cars.According to Le Parisien, the robbers made off with "sensitive" diplomatic documents.
A source close to the investigation confirmed the theft of diplomatic documents but told AFP: "For the moment, we have no details about the nature of these documents. They could be sensitive documents but they could equally well be unimportant." The Saudi embassy in Paris could not be immediately reached for comment.
No suspects have yet been apprehended.
Mr Romain Nadal, a spokesman for the French Foreign Ministry, said only: "An investigation is under way into this unacceptable attack."
"It's quite an unusual attack. They were obviously well-informed. It's true that it's quite a rare way of operating," one police source told AFP.
The head of a national police union, Mr Nicolas Comte, said: "We need to find out what they were looking for, the money or the documents."
"I hope we will also have efficient cooperation with the Saudi authorities," he added.
The investigation has been turned over to the BRB special police unit in charge of armed robberies.One source close to the investigation, who did not wish to be named, said: "If they were looking for sensitive documents, that changes the nature of the crime."
"It will no longer be an armed robbery, but something more complicated," the source added.
Initial results of the investigation have revealed that the robbers were obviously "aware of what they would find by attacking that specific car and not the others," he added.
Mr Frederic Lagache, from the Alliance police union, said: "We're dealing with a heavily armed and determined group of criminals."
"Once again, unfortunately, we see that these individuals had no fear of the police and were not concerned about the consequences of their actions."
