11-25 Politicians pray that their background search turns up a family like this. Not dysfunctional, just wacky enough to be interesting.
26-40 You come from the kind of family that the neighbors whisper about, as in "I don't want you going over there!" Many of your relatives are considered a "bad influence," and have probably caused you great embarrassment over the years.
41-60 Most likely no one in your family has killed anyone—yet. Besides intense competition at the family picnic for the "black sheep" award, your relatives (and possibly you!) suffer from myriad conflicting problems that keep shrinks, lawyers, diet doctors, Jerry Springer and nurse practitioners in the money. Hey, at least someone loves you!
More than 60 As nutty as they come. Your relatives not only have made you crazy, but your family's combined dysfunction is its own vortex, picking up speed and growing exponentially, ensuring that generations to come will suffer as you surely do. There is no good news here, only an inevitable farewell wave to reality as one by one you and those related to you surrender fully to the insanity that is your family. Tip: help raise money for treatment by writing a blog, book or movie, especially one focusing on holidays!

Seahawks' road playoff streak has reached eight games, 29 years
The Seahawks haven't won a road playoff game since the first one they played, Dec. 31, 1983, at Miami.
Seattle Times staff reporter
Seattle @ Washington, 1:30 p.m. Sunday, Ch. 13.
The Seahawks left for Washington, D.C., on Friday afternoon, their route to the airport lined by fans. Estimated time of arrival: 11 p.m. Eastern, giving the Seahawks a full day's head start on the team's last road playoff victory.
That rare victory was on Dec. 31, 1983, when a flight delay stalled the Seahawks' trip to Miami to the point the team didn't arrive at its hotel until after midnight. Half a day later, the Seahawks took the field as a road-weary underdog and upset the Dolphins, scoring 10 points in a 22-second span in the fourth quarter for a 27-20 victory in the franchise's first road playoff game.
Twenty-nine years later, it remains the only time the Seahawks have won on the road in the postseason.
"It's funny, when you said those words, it made a chill go down my spine," said Dr. Dan Doornink, a Seahawks running back who's now a physician in Yakima. "I can't believe there hasn't been one since."
Not one. Just eight consecutive road losses, a streak that spans five Seahawks coaches and two uniform changes and is one loss from matching Detroit's NFL record.
Seattle has lost on the road to a Raiders team that has since moved from Los Angeles and to an Oilers team that is now known as the Titans. The Seahawks have lost in historic sites like Green Bay's Lambeau Field (twice) and in a stadium that is now obsolete (Houston's Astrodome).
Seattle has been blown out in a blizzard in Green Bay and lost three games in overtime during this streak that began so long ago that coach Pete Carroll was puzzled at how it could be pertinent.
"Wasn't that when Ronald Reagan was president?" Carroll said Friday.
Why, yes, in fact. It was. His vice president and his vice president's son have both served in that office since.
"Next question," Carroll said jokingly. "I mean really, come on now. Let's see, how old was Earl?
Safety Earl Thomas? Oh, he wouldn't be born for another five years. In fact, 44 of the 53 players on Seattle's roster weren't alive when the Seahawks last won on the road in the playoffs.
"None of these guys even have a clue," Carroll said. "They don't know who Ronald Reagan is, so that should shed some light on how much that factors in."
Which is to say the streak matters about as much as the fact that Seattle has ended each of Washington's past two playoff runs.
Washington is hosting a playoff game for the first time in 12 years, and one thing is for sure: Seattle will arrive earlier for this road playoff game than it did in 1983.
The team's plane simply would not take off in 1983. Not without a specific alert sensor that needed to be replaced, and years later, Knox couldn't be sure Dolphins coach Don Shula didn't have a little something to do with it.
So the Seahawks sat at the airport and waited. And waited. And finally got hotel rooms in Seattle, using a ballroom for a walk-through. The team didn't arrive at its hotel in Miami until about 3 a.m., which gave the Seahawks less than half a day before kickoff. Think about that the next time you wonder how much an impediment travel is.
"As Chuck would say, we played the hand we were dealt," said Jacob Green, the Seahawks defensive end who is Red Bryant's father-in-law.
The Dolphins were coming off a Super Bowl appearance, had gone 12-4 during the season and allowed a league-low 15.6 points that season. They were favored over Seattle by more than a touchdown.
"Nobody gave us a cut dog's chance of winning as coach Knox would say," running back Curt Warner said in a telephone interview this week.
The Dolphins led 13-7, but what happened in that second half remains one of the most exciting comebacks in Seahawks history. Seattle scored 10 points in the final two minutes of the game, recovering fumbles on back-to-back kickoffs.
"Hindsight is always 20-20," Warner said. "But when you get to that playoff mindset, it changes not only on the field, but it also changes from a home-field advantage perspective.
"Everything intensifies. Everything gets louder and gets crazier. The intensity level is at a higher level. It makes it a little tougher to go on the road and win."
The Seahawks lost on the road to the Los Angeles Raiders the next week in the AFC Championship Game and haven't won a postseason game on the road since.
"I'm assuming at some point they're going to win," Warner said.
The Seahawks headed to Washington, D.C., with the hope that some point will be Sunday.

Once upon a time, this was my most prized brownie recipe. I discovered it early in college and it was always an instant hit whenever I made it. When people asked me for the recipe, I regretfully couldn't (or let's face it, I wouldn't) share it because I felt it was "my" recipe and I didn't want just anyone to be able to duplicate it. I referred to it a couple of years ago in my lemon bar post and the bad experience I had with someone who I did share it with. Only my nieces were the exception and I even published as part of a tastebook to give to them.
Since then and since embarking on my blog, I've gotten a lot less territorial about recipes. And I'm finally ready to share this one, partly because it's my pay-it-forward for all the great recipes people have shared with me and partly because, oh yeah, I'm over being selfish, narcissist and what-all with it. I made this brownie yesterday at the request of one of my nieces as this is her favorite. Can't say no, now can I?
Some tips to make this recipe a success and I've learned this through many years of trial and error with this recipe.
1. Toast the pecans to bring out their flavor.
2. The caramel is the trickiest part of the brownie. When done correctly, the end result will be an almost chewy toffee-like topping with a slight crunch brought out by the caramelized pecans. When done incorrectly, it's grainy and greasy. When you're melting the butter and brown sugar together, whisk it constantly to keep it emulsified and melt it over medium to low heat. If the butter gets too hot, it'll be harder to emulsify with the brown sugar. I never use a candy thermometer but you know when it's done when it's golden brown and a thick liquid. If it's too brown or too thin, it got overheated and isn't whisked together enough. Don't start making the caramel until the brownies have been baking for at least 10-12 minutes. You want to time it so that the caramel is ready to pour over the brownies right when the brownies are ready to come out of the oven for the first baking.
3. Make sure to bake the brownies adequately. A common mistake I've made in the past is not baking the brownies long enough before I add the caramel and then the brownies come out flat and stick to the foil lining. It tastes OK, but it'd be better if they were properly baked.
Chocolate Caramel Brownies
From "The Brownie Experience" by Lisa Tanner
1/2 cup butter
4 ounces unsweetened chocolate
4 eggs
2 cups sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup flour
1 cup pecan halves
1-1/2 cups chocolate chips
Caramel Syrup
1 cup butter
2/3 cup brown sugar, lightly packed
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a 9" x 13" pan. In a small saucepan, melt butter and unsweetened chocolate together over low heat; set aside. In a medium-sized bowl, beat eggs with wire whisk; beat until light. Beat in sugar, salt and vanilla until blended. Stir in chocolate mixture, then flour. Pour into pan.
Bake 15 minutes. Meanwhile, prepare caramel syrup. Carefully remove pan from oven and sprinkle top evenly with pecans. Gently top pecans with cooked caramel syrup, covering surface completely. Bake 15 minutes longer or until caramel is bubbling over entire top of brownie. Remove from oven and immediately sprinkle with chocolate chips. Let chocolate melt slightly.

Georgia college to cut NCAA budget, put funds into anti-obesity programs
College sports tend to dominate the airwaves this time of year. Football teams face off in championship bowl games, and college basketball teams take to the courts to start their run to the Final Four. But one college in Atlanta has decided to completely cut their NCAA competitive sports budget. Instead, officials will use the money to improve the health and wellness of the entire student body.
Spelman College, a historic college for black women, is taking a long, hard look at their NCAA funds. The school's million-dollar sports budget -- typically used for uniforms, travel and referees -- will now be diverted to pay for a state-of-the-art gym and campus-wide wellness programs intended to help all students on campus. This is the last year Spelman students will be able to participate in NCAA Division III sports.
"I understand this change is disappointing to those students who have been very involved in intercollegiate athletics," said Dr. Beverly Daniel Tatum, the president of Spelman College. "We can use those dollars to bring in more instructors -- to focus on wellness in a way that will allow all 2,100 students to really participate."
College officials envision a yoga room, a spin room, an indoor track and new equipment that would rival any commercial gym. It is as much about a healthy weight as it is a healthy mind and life.
"Our students – most of whom are African-American women -- are twice as likely to become diabetic. They are more likely to experience a heart attack or stroke in their lifetimes. Largely because of the high levels of obesity and overweight within the African-American community," Tatum said. "This generation of young people is not likely to live as long as its parent generation because of poor diet and lack of exercise. I have been to the funerals of young alumnae – one of the things I say to our students is, we are investing a lot in you."
Tatum is seeing a lot of support in the academic community. Dr. Valerie Montgomery Rice is the dean of Morehouse School of Medicine and she supports the program, especially for women.
"This 18- to 21-year-old group of women -- their body, their image, how they perceive themselves as a person -- their confidence, their ability to articulate and share what their thoughts are, is really important," Rice said. "So, what we want people to understand is how you look, and how you perceive you look is important. But what is most important is how you feel about yourself. I'm not ever interested in someone being a size 6 or a size 2 – what I'm interested in is someone having the energy and the confidence to change the world."
Athletes such as sophomore Amber Banks will miss competing at the Division III level – but she understands and supports the decision of her school. For students who want to keep their competitive edge, the college will still offer intramural sports.
"Athletics builds character and it really builds discipline in whatever you do in life, she said. "It will help you to become more confident, you learn leadership – you learn how to speak in front of people. You learn how to work with others and it's important to learn those things."

ARLINGTON, Va. (AP) – For more than 100 years, the cremated remains of two brothers _ Civil War soldiers from Indiana _ sat on a funeral home shelf, unclaimed and largely forgotten.
On Thursday, their remains were given a final resting place at Arlington National Cemetery, which dedicated a new columbarium court designed to hold the cremated remains of more than 20,000 eligible service members and family.
It is the ninth columbarium court at Arlington, where roughly 400,000 are interred.
The first six remains to be interred at the court were recovered by the Missing In America Project, an organization based in Grants Pass, Ore., that scours funeral homes across the country to recover remains of veterans that have gone unclaimed.
Since 2006, the project has visited nearly 2,800 funeral homes and found more than 2,000 cremated remains of veterans, including six Civil War veterans. The group researches the names of anyone who could be a potential veteran, and if they find one, they organize a burial service, usually at the nearest VA cemetery, where veterans are entitled to a free burial.
In Indiana, the group's work uncovered brothers Zuinglius and Lycurgus McCormack, whose ashes had sat on the shelves of a funeral home since their deaths in 1912 and 1908, respectively. Group researchers found that Zuinglius served as a lieutenant with Indiana's 132nd Infantry Regiment and was part of Sherman's Army, seeing action at the battles of Kennesaw Mountain and Jonesboro, among others. Lycurgus, the younger brother, was a private in the state's 103rd Infantry Regiment.
The others interred included Peter Schwartz, a Navy seaman who served in World War I, Marine Corps Pfc. Albert Klatt, who served in World War II, Air Force Staff Sgt. Dennis Banks, who served in Vietnam and Coast Guard Seaman 2nd Class Virginia Wood, who served in World War II with the guard's Women's Reserve.
"They served our country," said MIAP's vice president, Linda Smith. "If we don't find them … who knows that they ever existed if they're stuck in a storage facility somewhere?"
Arlington's director, Kathryn Condon, said Thursday's service was the ideal way to dedicate the new court.
"I can't think of a better way to dedicate this hallowed ground than by honoring these forgotten heroes who until now did not have a resting place befitting their service and sacrifice," she said.
The new court's size _ more than 2 acres _ and design allow it to hold nearly twice as many remains as the next largest court. Remains are placed in niches several cubic feet in size.
As Arlington faces increasing pressures on its capacity, the columbarium has gone a long way toward extending the cemetery's life. About 68 percent of interments at Arlington now are cremations, cemetery officials said, a reflection of an increasing use of cremation nationally as well as Arlington policies that make more service members eligible for inurnment than ground burial.
Cemetery spokeswoman Jennifer Lynch said that without the new court, the cemetery would have run out of space for cremated remains in 2016.
The $15.6 million project, overseen by the Norfolk district of the Army Corps of Engineers, came in on time and under budget, said Peter Reilly, the Corps' project manager for Arlington.
The marble niche covers installed Thursday included each service member's name, rank, year of birth and death and the words: "You are not forgotten."

Take a look at the last 8-9 years and tell me what teams' windows really are.
Anaheim-New Jersey
Calgary-Tampa Bay
New Jersey-LA
Outside of Pitsburgh/Detroit, how many teams have climbed back to the Stanley Cup finals shortly after appearing in it? Unless you consider 9 (NINE) years to be "within the window", then the answer to your question is the New Jersey Devils.......a team that has a completely different core from 2003.
Since we're talking about 2003, Let me quote Eminem's lyrics in "Lose yourself."

An expansion of Metem Corp.'s Parsippany manufacturing is expected to break ground this summer and add jobs to the facility, where 170 workers build parts used in gas turbines and the aerospace industry.
Metem now has about 66,000 square feet of production space in two adjacent Parsippany locations; the expansion adds 20,000 square feet to the main facility on Parsippany Road. The company also has plants in Pennsylvania and Hungary, for a total of 280 workers.
"The new addition gives us more floor space, and that means we want to put equipment and people in there," said CEO Steven Goldthwaite, but he said he couldn't name an exact number. Metem has a history of slow and steady growth, he said: "It has always been our philosophy to deliver a very high-quality product and build a long-term sustainable business — and hire great people."
Metem has its headquarters in Parsippany and has been manufacturing in New Jersey since it was founded in 1962. The company belongs to the advanced manufacturing sector, which experts contend manages to be competitive even in high-cost places like New Jersey by relying on technology and educated workers.
"We very much like doing business in New Jersey," Goldthwaite said. "It's really a good state for us, because of the highly skilled workers and the access to universities."
Metem provides continuing technical training to its workers, and participates in state work force training grants through the New Jersey Business and Industry Association. The company also said it is looking into various job-growth programs available through the New Jersey Business Action Center.
Goldthwaite said Metem will keep its focus on advanced manufacturing going forward. "I really believe the future of manufacturing in this country is for companies to move up the technology curve and the skills curve," he said. The company designs some of its own equipment, and "all the new equipment we have added over the last 10 to 15 years has been advanced, computer-controlled equipment."
He said Metem is growing in part due to increased demand for gas turbines, and as that growth continues, he expects to see job opportunities in engineering, quality control, process improvement and machine operation.
"The world is shifting to more gas because it is cleaner and greener. Our parts are in turbine engines that run worldwide," he said. "One of the great things about gas turbines is that the U.S. really has a leadership position in that technology. We are seeing our customers bring turbine manufacturing back to the U.S. from other parts of the world, which is also (contributing) to our growth."

Neil Armstrong would always be taking that first step onto the moon, and Dick Clark was forever "the world's oldest teenager." Some of the notables who died in 2012 created images in our minds that remained unchanged over decades.
Sadly, for others an established image was shattered by a fall from grace. Whitney Houston ruled as a queen of pop music, but years of hard living harmed her voice while erratic behavior and a troubled marriage took a toll on her image. And Joe Paterno, Penn State's longtime coach, won more games than anyone in major college football, but was ultimately fired amid a molestation scandal involving an assistant coach that scarred his reputation.
Among the political figures who died were George McGovern, Democrat presidential nominee who lost to Richard Nixon in a historic landslide, and ex-Sen. Arlen Specter, the outspoken Pennsylvania centrist.
The year also saw the deaths of a number of TV stars including Larry Hagman, who played oil baron J.R. Ewing on "Dallas."
Others in entertainment and the arts who died included: Etta James, Andy Griffith, Ernest Borgnine, Sherman Hemsley, Maurice Sendak, Donna Summer, Robin Gibb, Doc Watson, Richard Dawson, Nora Ephron, Phyllis Diller, Michael Clarke Duncan, Don Cornelius, Jan Berenstain, Ravi Shankar and Dave Brubeck.

Domestic violence is a thief.
It takes away lives, happiness, security, contentment and more. It affects men, women, children, the rich and the poor.
And it is all too common.
There are many ways to bring attention to the problem, and troopers with the Delaware State Police are using their 10th annual Motorcycle Rid for Domestic Violence Awareness to do just that.
The ride will be held, rain or shine, Saturday, beginning at 10 a.m. at DSP headquarters in Dover. Check-in will be at 9 a.m., said Master Cpl. Gary Fournier.
Fournier has been with the program since its inception and will lead the bikers during their trek.
"Back in 2003, we sat down, our executive staff and domestic violence coordinators and said we wanted to do something to raise awareness," Fournier said. "A lot of us were into motorcycle riding, and we thought this would be a good way to raise awareness about domestic violence.
"It just took off from there."
That first year brought out approximately 150 riders, and the event has averaged around 200 each year since, Fournier said.
Riders will be escorted by other motorcycle troopers, who will manage traffic to make sure the bikers cover the route safely. Fournier himself is an experienced rider, being a longtime member of the division's motorcycle unit.
"It's a nice, slow ride," Fournier said. "We stay in a nice, big pack, and people really enjoy the ride through the back roads of Kent and New Castle counties."
Debbie Reed, director of victim's services for the DSP, said the ride is held in conjunction with October's National Domestic Violence Awareness Month, which aims to help people understand the problem's impact on society.
"We always are looking for ways to promote awareness," she said. "We assume, a lot of times that people are aware of it, but many are not. We felt this would bring the community in, and make more people aware who may not have realized how prevalent the problem really is."
Domestic abuse has many faces: it can take the form not just of physical abuse, but of controlling behavior, verbal domination, sexual abuse and many other elements that can be tough to identify, Reed said.
"It's devastating," she said. "Many households have children who witness this behavior, so we also want to pay particular attention to them."
Recognizing domestic violence also can be difficult because it doesn't always leave physical scars, she said.
"A lot of times it's going on, and we're not aware of it," Reed said. "It's not something people come forward with. The person next to you can be suffering and you won't know it.
"We want to tell people it's OK to speak up and make them aware there are agencies out there that are willing to help them."
Registration is $20 per person, payable on the day of the ride, which will take place rain or shine. The money is used to cover costs of the event, including the commemorative pins and T-shirts and the domestic violence awareness wrist bands, which are provided to the first 500 registrants.
A free buffet for all registrants will be provided at Bogey's Grill in Middletown, the finish line for the event, Reed said.
29,632 – domestic violence reports handled in Delaware
15,928 – cases that were criminal in nature
10,214 – cases that involved a violent act

David Hall: The Missouri 2X4 is one of the key issues in the silver commemorative series. (See my narrative for the "plain" Missouri...coin #9330...for the story of the Missouri issue and the controversy over their mintage figures.) Missouri 2X4s range in grade from AU to MS65 on average. The MS65s are rare and Superb Gem MS66 examples are very rare. Missouri 2X4s can be frosty or toned. Frosty, original examples are definitely the exception. And the toned Missouris can often be dull and unattractive. The premium specimens are the frosty white or the attractively toned pieces.

THE MOON IS BLUE (1953) B/W 99m dir: Otto Preminger
w/William Holden, David Niven, Maggie McNamara, Tom Tully, Dawn Addams, Fortunio Bonanova, Gregory Ratoff, Hardy Kruger, Johanna Matz
From the Turner Classic Movies website, tcm.com, this article about the film by Frank Miller: "Few of the films that challenged the Hollywood Production Code seem as innocuous today as the 1953 romantic comedy, The Moon Is Blue...at least on the surface. Publicity at the time hinted that the main bone of contention was the inclusion of such then-forbidden words as 'virgin,' mistress' and 'seduce,' which were enough to get the picture banned in Boston. But later scholars have discovered within the Production Code files objections to the film's entire moral tone. When United Artist defied the Production Code and released the picture without changes -- the first time a major Hollywood studio had done so -- the controversy was enough to make The Moon Is Blue a box-office winner.
"Writer F. Hugh Herbert had enjoyed a successful career both in Hollywood and on Broadway, bringing the prissy efficiency expert Mr. Belvedere (Clifton Webb) to the screen in Sitting Pretty (1948) and scoring a stage hit with the enterprising teenager Corliss Archer in Kiss and Tell, filmed with Shirley Temple in 1945. He took a more adult turn with The Moon Is Blue, which opened on Broadway in 1951. Charming audiences with its tale of Patty O'Neill, an aspiring actress who will gladly discuss sex but refuses to take part in it until after marriage, the play ran for over two years and established leading lady Barbara Bel Geddes as a light comedienne.
"Having directed the stage version, Otto Preminger secured the film rights to The Moon Is Blue and cut a very advantageous deal with United Artists. He deferred his salary for producing and directing in return for 75 percent of the profits and total artistic control. The only limitation on him was the traditional clause requiring that the finished film pass Production Code scrutiny. He flexed his muscle immediately by insisting on casting David Niven in the second male lead, an aging rogue intent on seducing Patty first. Studio executives thought Niven's career was fading, but Preminger fought for the actor, then put him in the play's West Coast company so he could craft and perfect his performance. For box-office insurance, he cast William Holden to star as the architect who develops more conventionally romantic feelings for Patty, offering the actor 20 percent of the profits. Although there were several up-and-coming film stars who would have been perfect for the female lead, Preminger opted for newcomer Maggie McNamara, who had played Patty in the play's Chicago company but had never made a film before.
"The film was completed in a mere 24 days, despite the fact that Preminger simultaneously shot a version in German starting Hardy Kruger and Johanna Matz, who appeared in the English-language version as tourists. Holden and McNamara played the tourists in the German version. Preminger also played a small role in that version and dubbed Gregory Ratoff's lines as the taxi driver into German. In later years, he would state his preference for the English-language film, claiming the material had not translated well.
"The censorship problems started long before the film began shooting. In fact, before Preminger had even bought the rights, Joe Breen, head of the Production Code Administration (PCA) had advised Warner Bros. and Paramount against acquiring the property. His objection was not just to the use of such hitherto forbidden words as 'virgin,' 'mistress' and 'seduce,' which he considered merely vulgar, but to the film's overall questionable tone. He felt the comic treatment of seduction created insurmountable problems for even though the leading man eventually proposes to the still-virginal leading lady, he soundly criticizes her moral pose, dubbing her a 'professional virgin' and suggesting that 'those who advertise usually have something to sell.' In Breen's opinion, this violated the Code's prohibition against inferences that 'low forms of sex relationships are accepted as common things.'
"Preminger knew of Breen's objections, of course, and decided to make The Moon Is Blue a test case. At first he refused to submit the script at all, but a copy got to Breen, who wrote objecting to the subject matter and insisting that there needed to be some condemnation of the Niven character's womanizing. Preminger agreed only to the latter, then set out to make the film in his own way. When it was finished, Breen denied it the Production Code's official Seal of Approval. Preminger appealed, but by that time the film had been condemned by the Legion of Decency (some have suggested they only did so in support of Breen). When the appeal was denied, UA dropped the contract clause requiring that Preminger deliver a film capable of passing the Production Code, quit the PCA's parent organization, the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA), and distributed the film without the Code Seal. This was a landmark in the battle against censorship; no other major studio had ever dared release a film without the PCA Seal. Under the initial agreement with the MPAA, theatres owned by the studios were forbidden from showing films that did not bear the Seal. But with the court-mandated sale of the studio's theatre chains, the Code's hold on them had been weakened. Although some chains canceled their bookings of The Moon Is Blue, others picked it up, hoping the controversy would pay off at the box office.
"It did. The film brought in $4 million domestically, suggesting that audiences were a mite more mature (or as gullible) than the censors had suspected. By year's end, The Moon Is Blue was the nation's 15th highest-grossing film. The advertising campaign, alluding to the film as 'The picture everyone is talking about' and 'Sensationally Funny -- For Adults Only,' helped draw attention to the controversy. When it was banned in Boston and Memphis, patrons drove to theatres just outside of town to see what the fuss was all about. Bans in Maryland and Kansas were overturned by the courts. Ultimately, the controversy made the censors look bad. Many critics noted that for all the discussion of sex, nothing really happened. By the end, traditional values, although lightly satirized, had been upheld. When Birmingham, AL, censors tried to cut the film and restrict viewing to those over 21, local women's club members complained that the film provided 'a good moral lesson to teenagers.' Preminger seized the opportunity to lead a campaign for some kind of system for labeling mature but respectable films as 'adults only' (the actual ratings system that replaced the PCA was still 15 years away), with even conservative commentators jumping on the bandwagon.
"Hollywood showed its own support of the film. David Niven won the Golden Globe for Best Actor in a Musical/Comedy, and Oscar nominations went to Maggie McNamara, the editing [Otto Ludwig] and the title song [Herschel Burke Gilbert, Sylvia Fine]. As a result, the move to liberalize the Production Code began gathering steam. By 1961, times had changed so much that a reissue of the film won the PCA Seal with no problems. It also became a lingering embarrassment for Breen, particularly since most coverage of the controversy charged him with banning the film simply because of its language. When asked about The Moon Is Blue in later years, all he could say was, 'Well, we're entitled to one mistake every few years, aren't we?'.
"The Moon Is Blue's position as a part of U.S. cultural history was underlined in the '70s, when it became the subject of an episode of the popular sitcom M*A*S*H. After hearing the picture was banned in Boston, Hawkeye (Alan Alda) spends most of the episode trying to secure a print for screening to the 4077 (the film had also been banned by the military), only to find, when he finally sees it, that the movie is surprisingly tame. They had to use the word 'virgin,' he reasons, because 'everyone in the movie was!'"
From The Movie Guide: "No one today is likely to mistake this smarmy little sex farce for a good film, but it is significant historically as one of the nails in the coffin of Hollywood's self-imposed Production Code. Otto Preminger, an Austrian bull running amuck in the china shop of Hollywood censorship, refused to take the words 'virgin,' 'pregnant,' 'mistress,' and 'seduction' out of his script, based on a popular Broadway farce. The film was released without the MPAA seal of approval, and was a solid box office success. The rest, as they say, is history.
"The story --- which hinges on whether a thirty-something architect (William Holden) or a forty-something roué (David Niven) will get a twenty-something virgin (Maggie McNamara) into bed --- follows a painfully predictable line. Holden and Niven are fine, but McNamara, a rather amateurish performer here making her film debut, comes across like a recent drop-out from the Audrey Hepburn Spirited Gamine Academy. (She would act in only three more films before her suicide in 1978.) Luckily, the scene in the taxi where some of the 'dirty' words are used comes fairly early on, so you can skip the rest and just read about it in some film history text. Try watching TROUBLE IN PARADISE or THE MAJOR AND THE MINOR instead."

Woot has been on a bit of a roll lately.
Yesterday, we told you that they were discounting the iRobot Roomba 581. (Sorry, that deal is gone!) Last week, we mentioned Woot's multi-day, multi-product Zmodo security sale — which ended early because everything sold out! Today, they have another great deal that you're going to want to jump on.
We found the Pioneer VSX-1022-K 7.1-channel AV receiver listed for just $249.99. This is the lowest price that we've seen on this receiver, which typically lists for $200 more.
It's also an excellent product, with pretty much everything you'd want in a new receiver, such networking features for streaming services like Pandora, as well as support for Apple AirPlay. It can also crank a total of 560 watts of sound and has support for all of today's audio formats, including Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD Master Audio and Dolby Pro Logic IIz.
Other features include video conversion to 1080p (via HDMI), 3D support, the Auto Multi-Channel Acoustic Calibration system (MCACC), six HDMI inputs, and the option for control via Pioneer's free ControlApp.
Just remember that Woot deals do not include free shipping, so you'll need to factor in an extra $5 on the price. Also, Woot deals only last for one day (sometimes less!), so this discounted price is only good through today (Tuesday, October 30, 2012), or whenever the retailer runs out of stock!
Electronic House Hot Deals are offered as an editorial service to readers. EH is not paid to promote Hot Deals and makes no guarantee on the accuracy of the product descriptions we find at the dealers' sites, nor does EH verify that the site/dealer is an authorized reseller of the product or brand.

Oct. 16 was National Feral Cat Day — a day to think about the outdoor cats in our neighborhoods. Strays are cats that have been lost or abandoned by their owners and are friendly with people, making them adoptable. Feral cats are not adoptable because they are not accustomed to being around people.
I am pastor of the Independence Church of God of Prophecy. Recently a miracle happened at our church and I have felt the need to testify to it.
It happened during a Wednesday night service with 13 people in attendance. Service began, and as usual the spirit of the Lord was present.
After opening with prayer, I asked if anyone would like to be anointed and prayed for. Several came forward.
I picked up the bottle of anointing oil to find it was empty. I shook it and turned it upside down trying to get a drop of oil to anoint.
I am writing concerning my great-nephew Dylan Bedwell, who is 9 years old.
Dylan has always been a loving and giving child. Ever since he was one year old his parents started letting him pick an angel off the angel tree at Christmas to purchase a gift for a needy child. Any time they have a food drive at his school, Baywood Elementary, he is cleaning out the cabinets or asking to go to the store to buy items for the food drive.
For the Community Christmas Chest for needy families, Dylan helps to pack the food boxes for this event.
The owners of Agape Motorcoach Retreat LLC want to publicly thank many who have supported us with their kind comments and prayers, specifically with regards to the erroneous claims that have come from the county without any evidence.
We are honored by three board members that had integrity and intestinal fortitude to stand up and undo a wrong. These three supervisors — Bob Martin, Josh Hendrick and Phil McCraw — need to be commended for their efforts. This valiant act did not go unnoticed and we are humbled by it.
Grayson County citizens, are you aware of 3.1-4.6 in the county zoning ordinance?
"...Right-of-way which is fifty (50) feet or greater in width, or fifty (50) feet from the centerline of any street which has a right-of-way of less than fifty (50) feet, whichever is greater.
One principal building may be constructed on a lot having a dedicated right-of-way of not less than forty feet providing ingress and egress to a dedicated recorded public street or thoroughfare."
My letter to the Virginia Tech Agriculture/Pesticide Department is of import to all Grayson County citizens, so I am submitting it for print.
Last Oct. 6, while harvesting my orchard fruit, I was very aware of the upsetting loud noise of equipment and or helicopter disrupting the Sunday peace at 7:30 in the morning.
It continued for hours, coming from the Blue Ridge area of Elk Creek Christmas tree farms.
Editor's note: This letter is in response to a letter from John Duvall endorsing Kate Irwin for the Wilson District seat on the Grayson County Board of Supervisors, which ran in the Oct. 9 edition of that newspaper. The writer requested that it also run in The Gazette, but the request came after the deadline for submitting political letters regarding the Nov. 5 election. As per The Gazette's guidelines for political letters, it has been edited to only include the rebuttal portion, which addresses a factual error in Duvall's letter.
I would like to thank the community for the support that was given to the AmeriCorps project, Support the Troops.
Items collected in our area were taken to Staunton, where 22 AmeriCorps programs across Virginia pooled their donations to package 150 large boxes of snacks, books, card games, and personal hygiene items.
The boxes are being shipped by the American Red Cross for distribution in Afghanistan and Kuwait at Red Cross centers and in hospitals.
As many of you know, the Grayson Football and Wrestling Club has partnered with the school system and the county in an effort to improve the athletic facilities at the high school. Currently, you can see the results of these efforts with a newly renovated athletic field.
The cost of the project is approximately $60,000. Our commitment is one-third of that. We are currently working to meet our obligation.
On Oct. 1 you ran an article, "Regional tourism project gets $34,000 marketing grant." In that same issue you published a Hotline call titled "Team Building" in which the caller criticized Grayson County for "riding on Carroll County's coattails."
I could not disagree more with this caller and I'd like to set the record straight.
This grant had three partners: Grayson County, Carroll County and the Historic 1908 Courthouse Foundation (of which I am vice president).

Fire and Ice
The new year begins with fire and ice in the sky. For fire, there's the Sun, which is at its closest to Earth for the entire year. And there's more fire in the night sky — a meteor shower — but its source is a ball of ice: a comet.
The part about the Sun doesn't seem right at this time of year, which has the coldest days and longest nights in the northern hemisphere. Yet late tonight, Earth will snuggle closest to the Sun for the year — about a million-and-a-half miles closer than the average distance of 93 million miles.
The change in seasons is caused not by the changing distance to the Sun, but by Earth's tilt on its axis. Right now, the north pole is tipped away from the Sun, so the northern hemisphere gets less solar energy.
And late tomorrow night, the year's first meteor shower should reach its peak — the Quadrantids. Its fiery "shooting stars" all appear to "rain" into the atmosphere from an extinct constellation, not far from the handle of the Big Dipper. But they can streak across any part of the sky, so you don't have to look in a particular direction to see them. The best view comes before dawn on Thursday.
The Quadrantids may come from a small asteroid, which may in turn be the remnant of a dead comet — a ball of ice and rock that shed bits of debris as it neared the Sun. When Earth plows through this debris, it rains into the atmosphere, creating meteors — fiery lights from a ball of ice.
More about comets tomorrow.

Storrs, CT (SportsNetwork.com) - UConn junior forward DeAndre Daniels announced on Friday his decision to enter the NBA Draft, bypassing his final season of collegiate eligibility.
"I just felt like this was the right time for me," Daniels said. "I sat down with my family and we discussed it and everyone agreed, but the final decision was still mine and it was hard. I had a great career at UConn and I wouldn't change it for the world, and to go out on top like we did makes it even better."
The 6-foot-9, 195-pounder from Los Angeles finished the 2013-14 season ranking second on the team by averaging 13.1 points per game, adding 6.0 rebounds per contest over 38 appearances for the 2014 national champions. He also shot a career-best 46.9 percent from the field, including 41.7 percent from beyond the arc.
"DeAndre has made an enormous contribution to the success we have enjoyed at UConn, both on the court and in the classroom," Huskies head coach Kevin Ollie said. "Besides being an outstanding basketball player, he is a quality young man. We wholeheartedly support the decision he has made and wish him nothing but success as he moves ahead with his basketball career. He will always be part of our UConn family."
Junior guard Ryan Boatright, on the other hand, has elected to stay for his senior campaign. The 21-year-old native of Illinois teamed with senior Shabazz Napier this season to form one of the toughest backcourts in the country. The 6-foot guard averaged 12.1 points, 3.5 rebounds, and 3.4 assists per game.
