Haunted Hollywood and the Ghosts of Old Hollywood, Part II
The Mysterious Death of "The Sheik"
If you like spooky stories, then come with me...to Haunted Hollywood and the ghosts of the Hollywood greats of the past.
Hollywood is haunted by beautiful people long dead, who died tragically, famously, after living a life we can only dream of. The stars of the silver screen brought us heat, passion...images of love; they inspired us with hot desire; many died tragically young under iffy circumstances. These larger-than-life people haunt the place that made them famous--Hollywood.
The Death of the "Great Lover", Rudolph Valentino
Rudolph Valentino, Hollywood and the world's "Great Lover" died under mysterious circumstances on August 23, 1926, at 31 years of age, and the very height of his fame.
Rudolph was born in Italy in May of 1895, son of a military officer. His birth name was (in part) Rodolpho di Valentina d'Antonguolla. He was brilliant, bilingual, a college graduate, and had the most astonishing good looks, so he was very confident he could find his fortune in America.
He immigrated to America in 1913, working first as a gardener's assistant, then, with his svelte and exotic grace, landed a much better paying job at Maxim's, as a dancer. From there he toured with a show that took him to California, where in seven short years he made 14 films, and was soon an international sensation. He danced the tango right into the hearts of American women everywhere, who would swoon in the movie theater. His dark, handsome, exotic good looks, with those burning bedroom eyes, made his movie "The Sheik", and brought him international celebrity.
He died of peritonitis in New York's Polyclinic hospital, and rumours immediately began spinning. The hottest theory was the "arsenic revenge" of a disappointed society woman who was prominent in the New York 400; when Rudy rejected her she exacted the ultimate lover's revenge.
Millions mourned Rudolph Valentino, all over the world. The scenes outside the funeral home were chaos; a mob of over 100,000 women fought, scratched, kicked, and resisted the police who were attempting to keep some order, in the desperate search for one last glimpse of the Great Lover. There were suicides by fans who couldn't live on without Valentino in the world.
Rudolph Valentino's crypt is mysteriously haunted by a "Lady in Black", who faithfully brings him flowers and is still doing so since 1926. And Rudy walks--oh, yes, he certainly walks. His former home, "The Falcon's Lair" in Beverly Hills, is notorious for sightings of the Sheik. Actress Millicent Rogers spent only one night there before being chased away by the ghost of the Sheik. Another famous actor, Harry Carey, who subsequently owned the house, found Rudy haunting the darkened upstairs corridors, the master bedroom, and the stables.
A caretaker who once stayed there ran away screaming when he met Valentino's ghost. And there have been many sightings elsewhere in Hollywood.
Rudolph Valentino still haunts Hollywood. The Great Lover still shows his elegant form, and fans swoon...for an entirely different reason!
Houdini in the Afterlife
Harry Houdini was born in Budapest, Hungary on March 24, 1874, the son of a prominent rabbi. The family emigrated to Wisconsin, in America, early on, and Harry Houdini (whose birth name was Erich Weiss) spent most of his growing-up years in a peaceful, comfortable home in Wisconsin.
Like many young men, Harry dreamed of a stage career. His whole personality and personal presence cried out for the larger-than-life thrills of stage performing. Harry was apprenticed to a locksmith at one time; it is there he learned the skills which would launch him as the most famous and daring escape artist of all time. Harry dedicated his life to his performances, developing many special skills after hours of labor. He was double-jointed in both his fingers and toes, and used this attribute to escape from impossible confines. He also developed a rack of muscle in his torso, arms and legs; his daily work-out regiment was rigorous in the extreme. He would escape from a straight-jacket suspended high in the air, strung between New York's highest skyscrapers. He did many dangerous and daring underwater escapes, where he was in imminent danger of drowning. Harry Houdini became an international sensation and his shows sold out everywhere. To this day, no one knows how he manged to perform several of his feats. They seem impossible!
Harry was much troubled by the death of his mother. He turned to Spiritualism for comfort, and in the hope she might contact him and he could see her again. Harry was disappointed to find many fake mediums in the field and debunked quite a few of them. He was desperate for the genuine article; he wanted to believe. He arranged with his wife, Bess, that if he was able to, he would contact her after his death using a special code that only they knew. Harry made a similar pact with a friend of his, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, who also believed in Spiritualism.
Harry died on Halloween, the last day of October, 1926. A few days earlier, he was punched in the abdomen by a student, a fan, actually, who had no intention of hurting the famous magician but had heard that Houdini could withstand terrible blows to his muscular torso with no injuries.
The punch took Harry by surprise; he had no time to brace himself; this wayward punch was the incipient cause of his untimely death from appendicitis.
In November of 1926, Harry Houdini came back to Bess. He sent a message to her through a famous medium, Aurthur Ford. The message was:
and spelled out the word "believe" in their special code.
And I "believe". Hollywood is haunted by the ghost of Harry Houdini.
The death of Paul Bern and his warning to Sharon Tate
Did Paul Bern warn Sharon Tate of her fate?
This is one of the strangest andmost chilling of the tales of haunted Hollywood.
Paul Bern was born in Germany, in 1889. His birth name was Paul Levy. He came to the United States, where he found his niche in the film industry. The man was a genius, and soon became the supervisor at MGM studios. He was a very gentle, quiet and unassuming individual; he had no taste for public life...his many friends called him the "Father Confessor", because he helped many actors and actresses out of a jam. People came to him with their problems, which he handled with grace, tact and dispatch.
He married Jean Harlow, a famous beauty of the silver screen, a fabulous blonde bombshell, in July of 1932.
The marriage didn't last. Their personalities were so incompatible--Jean loved the limelight and Paul was a homebody, a family man to the roots of his soul. Jean didn't like the home he gave her in Benedict Canyon; she wanted to sell it. For Paul, this home was to be the enchanted castle where he should have lived happily ever after with his beautiful princess. Their differences soon became irreconcilable; Paul was very distraught.
He shot himself on September 5, 1932, just four months after wedding Jean Harlow. He died for love, in the most tragic way...
In 1966, Sharon Tate, the wife of filmmaker Roman Polanski, was staying at her friend Jay Sebring's house, which was the former home of Jean Harlow and Paul Bern. She was alone there, house-sitting while Jay was away. Suddenly, a man materialized in her bedroom! Sharon got up instantly and headed for the stairs, where she was shocked to see a human being tied to the banister with its throat cut! The figure was in shadow, and before she could see it more clearly, it vanished. She later found that the man in the bedroom, the "creepy little man" was the deceased former owner of the house, Paul Bern, when she recognized his picture in a book.
In 1969, Sharon Tate was one of the most famous of the Manson family murders. Her brutal slaying shocked the nation. She was so very young, so very beautiful, and vastly pregnant at the time of her death.
She was staying once again at Jay Sebring's house (former home of Jean Harlow and Paul Bern), while her husband, Roman Polanski, was away filming. Jay died trying to save her...Paul Bern had come back to warn her, but alas, her death which was foreshadowed three years earlier came true.
The former home of Jean Harlow and Paul Bern, and the death scene of Sharon Tate and her friends, is one of the most haunted places in Hollywood.

I remember my grandparents talking about Valentino. I don't think I've ever seen any of his films though.
The Paul Bern story is crazy - I know all about the Manson murder of Sharon Tate (those documentaries are always genuinely scary, just the thought of unprovoked violence and how there are people in this world who have that in them) but I had never heard this side of it. That one is really creepy.
Paul Bern did not commit suicide, he was killed by his common-law wife, Dorothy Millette and the true story was covered up. Dorothy then committed suicide. Sharon was not murdered at Jay's house. They were both murdered on Cielo Drive, about 5 minutes away from the Bern-Sebring house.
I can't believe no one noticed these errors before as this is such a famous case.
The Cielo Drive house they were killed in was torn down in the 1990s and a huge mansion was built in its' place.
..I just posted this wonderful hub which I have always enjoyed - both parts 1 and 2 ......to my new FB group called Let's just talk music or cinema - and it would be lovely and an honor if you would care to join - my name is Colin Stewart with the same profile photo on FB and on my homepage you will find the link to click - really do hope you can make it there - and sending you warm wishes and good energy from lake erie time ontario canada 11:58pm it's been like late spring here by the lake during the last week - whatever happened to winter?
...back to revisit a classic and sincerely wondering how you have been feeling lately .... lake erie time 11:54pm
Very spooky! I hadn't ever heard about the background to the Sharon Tate murder, though we heard much about the case. Very interesting and spooky threesome.
....back for part 2 and I love it - must post part 2 as I did with part 1 to my FACEBOOK page with a direct link back here and yes I was fascinated with the Bern/Tate connection .....lake erie time ontario canada 1:59pm
Lovely, creepy hub, great for the season!
As you can see, the Profile Glitch is fixed, but you probably had a big upswing in traffic in the last hour since I included the URL to this hub in the forum when I reported the problem. (You're most welcome!) ;D
bethperry, I believe George Reeves, Hercules and superman comitted suicide and shot himself, not 100% certain, but I think I'm correct, he may have been very despondent and depressed with the ending of his career, maybe booze had something to do with it as well. Spooky indeed Jama, maybe he is sending you a message, beware. Yikes.
These details sent chills down my spine. Amazingly he tried to warn Sharon Tate and sadly she succumbed to another heinous crime. Well written and it gave be the eebie jeebies because it was real.
Thought you'd want to know someone else's profile pic...a gentleman I don't recognize...is next to MY comments. And this is only happening on THIS hub, and my profile isn't affected. So is it a glitch in HP or is this hub HAUNTED?????
Verrry spooky. (I reported it to the Team, btw.)
I wrote a hub about the house of Paul Bern and his estranged young wife, Jean Harlow. It is believed by some that Paul Bern was trying to warn Sharon Tate of her death...but others believe that death sort of was inevitable in that house...that the house itself contained some form of evil energy. My hub is called "Is jean harlow's old hollywood home haunted? you decide"...you might find it intriguing, as it is related to your hub here.
I had no idea that Houdini died in such a horrible way. That's so sad. Great hub, though. Voted up and awesome!
The Manson murders have always fascinated me. Poor Sharon and those other people were just in the wrong place at the wrong time. The killers would have murdered anyone in that house. She was one of the unlucky ones who happened to be there. And she was pregnant, too.
There's NO amount of $$$ that could make me spend a night in the Benedict Canyon house where Sharon Tate and the others were so viciously murdered!
Another great hub about Haunted Hollywood! Voted UP nd Awesome!
Great job! Now tell me we have all of these great old stars running around Hollywood which is OK. Houdini said he would return but only managed to give messages. Where is he? Has no one seen him? And what I would like to know does the tragic Sharon haunt the house she was murdered in? Besides I don't know how anyone could live in that house afterwards. Keep up the good work.
More creepy scary tales about the strange deaths of celebrities. Verrrrrry interesting! What I don't understand is why did so many famous people want to stay in Sebring's home when it already had a scary reputation.
This may be off topic just a wee bit, but does anyone know where George Reeves (original Superman) died and what the "official" explanation of his death was? Thanks much for any details.
I see I left out an important piece of information of when Valentino met his veiled lady-she was ill in the hospital and knowing she was a fan he came and visited her-bringing her a single rose.
The original Lady who visited Valentino's tomb has died and the mantle has been passed more than once. We can't have that tradition end simply because the original one died. By the way, it was later revealed that she was the woman who when she was as a child Valentino told her that expected her to outlive him. The current one, I believe, works at the cemetery -she's been interviewed by TCM
Sharon Tate and the others in the house were never the intended victims beyond the fact that the killers wanted to kill, period. Manson had wanted to kill the music producer who refused to produce his music-terry Melcher. He was staying in the house and moved out days before the murders. Melcher is the son of Doris Day and for years afterwards she had a bodygaurd.
Wow, read it from start to finish. Gave me the creeps but absolutely interesting nonetheless.
How I pity Sharon Tate. Of course, she wouldn't have thought that it was her who was going to be murdered. She was just probably too spooked to make sense of what she saw.
Also, Paul Bern's death was really tragic. I had to look up his life on the net and read that there are actually two theories behind his death. He could either have committed suicide or was murdered by his common law wife Dorothy Millette, who then committed suicide by drowning.
Very creepy and very cool! I think if anyone could "escape" the great beyond long enough to get a message across, it'd be Houdini! Thanks for the hub - voted up!
Wow, I didn't know about Paul Bern and the details gave me chills! Thanks so much for sharing :)

STOCKTON - They're on their feet for hours at a time, double checking a complex inventory of nutritional products and assisting a sometimes-bewildered, sometimes-picky clientele.
STOCKTON - They're on their feet for hours at a time, double checking a complex inventory of nutritional products and assisting a sometimes-bewildered, sometimes-picky clientele.
They can run down reasons why acidophilus is important in the wake of antibody intake, they can explain the nutritional value of parsnip and they can separate fact from fiction involving Ginkgo biloba.
Leslie Brennan, co-owner of Artesian Natural Foods, has seven full-time employees, six of them women. Each is a part-time health care worker, organic grocer and vitamin-supplement specialist.
"I have a strong work ethic," Brennan said. "I try to instill the importance of that. It's fun at work. It should be fun, but we should work hard too."
Stockton, bankrupt and beset by high crime rates, has made another national list, but not some New Yorker's take on misery. This list is positive.
Brennan & Co. are laboring in the 14th best U.S. city for working women.
According to the Institute for Women's Policy Research and Nerdwallet.com, a highly recommended personal finance and credit card comparison website, Stockton is a great place to be if you're a working woman.
Researchers crunched population growth, pay gap and cost-of-living data to determine the rankings.
Stockton ranks just above Madison, Wis., and just below Bridgeport, Conn. The No. 1-rated city was Washington, D.C., followed by San Francisco and San Jose.
"I'm totally surprised, but very happy," said Becky Deal, a single mother and the 34-year-old Quail Lakes branch manager for Bank of Stockton. "The city as a whole has been trying to get better. Really, everybody is trying to do their part to make it better."
Deal's 146-year-old company exemplifies the notion that Stockton is a great place for women to excel. Of 16 Bank of Stockton branches, 14 are managed by women. "Definitely, the bank gave me a great opportunity as a woman to take care of one of their branches," Deal said. "Bank of Stockton is an amazing company and you are definitely treated fairly."
Among midsize cities, Stockton ranked fourth for working women and, in an adjunct survey, the city ranked as the fifth-best city for women's pay. In that survey, criteria centered on women's pay as a percent of men's (87.2 percent) median income for men ($45,201) and median income for women ($39,311). Los Angeles was No. 1.
Few people in the city know more about what women can accomplish than 53-year-old Debbie Bond, who co-owns American Hearing Aids in Lincoln Center.
"I try to surround myself with positive, successful people," said Bond, past president of the Stockton Women's Network, a once-a-month luncheon group of 75. "I have not heard my friends crying the blues. They are go-getters, and they have had no problems comparing themselves to men in the same field."
She and her friends meet to support each other in business and in personal growth.
Across the nation, women are gaining strength and money in the workplace. In April, U.S. census data revealed:
� The wife is the sole breadwinner 23 percent of the time, from 6 percent in 1976.
� When both spouses work, wives out-earn their husbands 28 percent of the time, from 16 percent a quarter of a century ago.
� In 11 million households, wives make more than their husbands.
Not everyone sees workplace advances the same.
The Women's Foundation of California and the California Budget Project reported in March that women "are not sharing equally in the state's economic recovery."
They issued a report, "A Fair Chance: Why California Should Invest in Economic Opportunity for Women and Their Families," in March. In part, it concluded that annual earnings for women have actually dropped since 2006, that budget reductions to child care programs make it harder for women to work and that higher-education cuts rob women of opportunity.
Lydia Abledu, who operates a one-woman hair salon in a small, half-hidden strip mall off Plymouth Road near Interstate 5, struggles to make ends meet.
"I love what I do, but if you don't get the support ... you try so many ways to make people happy," said Abledu, who immigrated from Ghana in 1995. She settled first in Los Angeles and then Oakland before moving to Stockton nine years ago. Abledu, married with three children, said it has been challenging.
"This is where I am now. I don't live in the past. I live in the present, and I focus and I pray."
Her Abba African Braids attracts customers from as far away as San Jose and Sacramento. Abledu, who does "everything concerning hair," emphasizes that she has clients from every cultural background - but not enough of them to feel economically secure.
Lincoln High School Principal Debbi Holmerud has been fortunate, and she knows it.
"The thing about public education is that the salary schedule applies to all and it has nothing to do with gender," Holmerud said. In terms of leadership, things have changed dramatically since she first arrived at Lincoln Unified 24 years ago. When she started, three of the four top administrators were men. Today, that ratio has flipped. And the male-female makeup of school site principals in the district is evenly split.
Bond sees endless possibilities for Stockton in general and women in particular.
"Women are so creative," she said. "Believe it or not, they can run two businesses, a family and do community service."
Brennan loves what she does with her north Stockton health-food store. "The kind of business I have helps people and helps the community," she said. "It's about well being. And one of the nicest things about being a business owner is being able to give other people a livelihood."
She's particularly proud having recently hired a male employee to help balance out the six women on her staff.

A couple of weeks ago, my husband, Scott, and I were interviewed by Steven Mavros of Waiting for Babies. It was a sort of pre-interview for the launch party and live taping that Maria and I will do in Philadelphia next week. (If you're in the area, please join Maria and me in Philadelphia on August 9th for the Waiting for Babies launch party. Tickets are only $8 and include hors d'oeuvres and an open bar!)
It was the first time the two of us have been interviewed together and it was really valuable to share our story as a couple and reflect on everything we've been through over the past 8.5 years. I feel like we both gained more insight on how infertility affected us both individually and as a family.
It also got me thinking about all the crazy thoughts I've had along the way. At the risk of sounding like infertility made me completely lose my mind, I'm sharing some secret confessions with you today. I figured I'm not alone in having some crazy or embarrassing thoughts while dealing with infertility. Maybe hearing mine will help you realize you're not alone :).
NUMBER 1. I fantasize about finding a baby in the bushes or in the manger of a nativity scene during the month of December. I once read about a man who found a baby in the subway and eventually got to adopt it. If it happened to him, why can't it happen to me?
NUMBER 2. I have felt extreme jealousy about the ability of Sea Monkeys to procreate. We had an aquarium of them when my nieces lived with us and there were new babies every single day. Why is it so easy for them, and so hard for me?
NUMBER 3. Likewise, when two tomato seedlings started sprouting in a dishcloth in my kitchen, I was first protective of them and then, several days later, in a fit of rage, destroyed them. Why could my twins not survive in my womb but these two little plants could spring up out of a dishrag?
NUMBER 4. I'm jealous that my friends get to hire babysitters. When I myself was in high school and a babysitter, I would fantasize of one day being the grown up and parent. The one who comes home in a glamorous dress after a night out with her adoring husband and pays the babysitter, asking what they did for fun while we were gone.
NUMBER 5. I seriously have to fight the urge to buy a baby doll every time I find myself in the baby aisle at Toys R Us. I think this also goes back to childhood and nurturing my dolls and dreaming of nurturing my own baby one day. Except that never happened. Now, I see the dolls through the cellophane windows in their boxes and long to take them home with me, knowing that that would truly be crazy and may be dangerously close to being completely unhealthy. Still, I'm tempted.
NUMBER 6. Recently, when I was walking my dog, I saw a neighbor walking down the sidewalk holding a newborn. For just a moment, I considered asking him if he'd trade me his baby for my dog.
What are your secret confessions as an infertile?

Bruce is expected to finalise his move in the next few days once formal permission to speak to Latics chairman Dave Whelan has been granted by the City board.
The former Cardiff player said: "Steve Bruce has got a brilliant squad together and the lads all want to play and battle for each other and the manager and there has been a great spirit. The news that the manager seems likely to be going is devastating for all of us. The lads are all shocked."

Well honestly this is my rant,the lack of Jobs in america, the big issue, the remaining issue. Go flip burgers you will say, well i just get through the interview, go do some other job, well they just turn me down for someone with more experience.
Welcome to the credential society! Jobs are becoming more difficult for average joes to become more accessible, Detroit, industrial city, easy job search right? Wrong, Unemployment is up an those who fell in the cracks of the void (after unemployment is over) are doom.
Welcome to the real world. Age 27, 5 years janitorial, Direct care worker (handicap) certified, 2 associate degrees, 2 years in assembly, industrial lines, 2 years grocery, 10 years experience as an audio engineer with 2 years professional intern
This is what I have become rapidly into, in a society that wants you to have (5 years experience on a machine press) or some Register nursing degree, or some other CDL hilo certified job
Everything is all mobilizing into education, which i am getting into (teaching) yes i know its a horrible job market, dont rub it in, at least i want to do something i like, mister accounting, ski lifting instructor.
Welcome to detroit
The fact is there are no jobs, at least in the midwest. Job markets are crap. Go do something stupid, there are plenty of jobs with massive lay offs, major pay cuts, outsourcing ect.
You cannot start a family getting paid 7.50 a hour. You need at least 10$.
All jobs no return in phone call or response. Internet search sites are (not all) a waste.
Don't even say start a home business, you dont know my living situation
It is a human and should be a human right to get a job, when you can't society gets piss. We americans (at least detroit, cause detroit is pissy enough) should uprise against these social constraints that are destroying america, THESE ARE REASONS WHY WE BECOME DOPE SLANGERS AND MURDERERS.

Over the holidays, I was lucky enough to win a Tapeña Wines party pack from Beau's Barrel Room - thanks Beau! I received a cookbook, corkscrew, refrigerator magnets, a pen, spices, and a bottle each of Tempranillo, Garnacha, Rosé and Verdejo.
So far we've tried the Rosé and Verdejo. The Rosé (a combination of Garnacha and Monastrell) was a bit surprising: a bit fruity, but dry, with nice acidity. Tasty on its own and also with food. The Verdejo was my 52nd varietal for my Wine Century Club list and a nice addition to it. Great floral aroma, with a nice mouthfeel, apricot-like flavors, and a clean finish. Also delicious on its own or with dinner (we had it with a taco salad).
Can't wait to try the Tempranillo and Garnacha!

Alternating between Ellie's first-person narrative in 1970s Canada and a third-person depiction of Brenda's quandary in the present day, Defining Moments presents a remarkably creative and truly unique story, delivered in an equally original way. Ellie is bold and brassy in her youth, and the reader is given a meaningful look at the depth of a woman's character and passion as she discovers the blessing of second chances and grows to understand the fragility of love, the pain of loss, and the beauty of life. The reader is given the unique opportunity of cheering on not one strong female character, but two, as Brenda represents another generation and another struggle with the courage to fight and the bravery to open up one's mind to unlimited possibilities.
Time travel in a novel is a tricky business; for someone who doesn't read about the topic often it could be easy to find it far-fetched, and I'm someone who truly doesn't read about the topic often. All the same, I felt perfectly comfortable with the theme as author Faye Hicks explored the frays of time. She encouraged me – through Ellie's story – to open my mind, and I found myself doing so without difficulty, without even a recollection of a moment's skepticism. I found myself easily absorbed in the story, instantly connecting with the characters as she introduced them, and ready to fall back to Ellie's defining moments to relive the story alongside her once again. Ellie's narrative evolved as her experiences changed her, and while she began to take form to me in a bit of a harsh light initially, the path of her life directs her into the plucky, genuine woman she is at the end: she's a heroine that isn't perfect, but she's doing the best she can, and that's something I think every reader can both relate to and admire greatly.
The author's wit combines with a soft, restrained, very real message of courage and hope to make Defining Moments a genuinely fun read, and one that works a special magic on the reader well after the final pages.

Riverview Gardens, Normandy districts make performance gains
KANSAS CITY (AP) — Missouri's two failing school districts have made progress toward shedding the unaccredited designation that allows their students to transfer to better performing schools.
Performance data released Friday shows Riverview Gardens earning 79.3 percent of the points possible. That places the St. Louis area district in the fully accredited range, although the state typically considers several years of data before making an upgrade.
Last year, the district earned a score of 45.4 percent. Under the state's system, districts must earn at least 70 percent of overall points to be considered for full accreditation and 50 percent for provisional accreditation. The system takes into account factors such as test scores and graduation rates.
The other unaccredited district — Normandy — saw its score increase to 30.4 percent from 7.1 percent last year.

'Simply wonderful' is the only way to describe the whales in the Central Pacific; a unique and very special experience that offers a true marine spectacle.
Manuel Antonio, Costa Rica (PRWEB) September 19, 2014
Tulemar Vacation Homes, in Manuel Antonio Costa Rica, is a resort known for its abundance of wildlife. Monkeys, sloths, toucans, iguanas and more can be seen on a daily basis throughout the grounds; more recently, though, visitors have reported whale sightings in the Tulemar Bay area, a less common occurrence.
"'Simply wonderful,' is the only way to describe the whales in the Central Pacific; a unique and very special experience that offers a true marine spectacle," comments one of Tulemar's personal concierges, Chris Madrigal.
These mammals visit the Central Pacific shores beginning late December until March and late July through October. Larger populatiosn arrive in Costa Rica's bays further south, with a clear mission; to find adequate depths and temperatures to breed and give birth to their calves. They nurse their calves for about a week before continuing their migration in the open ocean.
Bahía Ballena Marine National Park is a 40 minute drive from Tulemar, and is one of the country's top attractions. The park's natural design is of a whale tail, which coincidentally, is destination point for these cetaceans.
Seen in this area are humpback whales, orca whales, and pilot whales; likewise, a wide range of marine species such as bottlenose, spotted, and common dolphins, along with green, olive ridley, and hawksbill sea turtles.
Whales from northern and southern hemispheres visit this part of the country during this time of year, oftentimes some of them covering distances of up to 11,000 miles or 18,000 kilometers, making for one of the farthest migrations of any animal.
Tulemar Vacation Homes promotes and encourages awareness of the importance of these Jewels of Nature, and invites guests to observe and protect them. Tulemar's personal concierges are happy to arrange a variety of whale watching activities for guests which allow for a more up-close-and-personal experience.

Unhappy Scott files complaint over Chisora defeat
A fix in for Del Boy? Do me a favour
- If anybody has the film of Malik Scott on his feet, gloves up and nodding his head, before the referee finished the count at Wembley, please send it to me - because I haven't seen it.
What I saw was Malik Scott dropped by a big right hand to the head from Dereck Chisora. And then I saw what the referee saw: that Malik Scott was not in a position to defend himself before the end of the count.
Could Scott have got up earlier? Absolutely. But he got up too late.
Click here to read more from Steve Bunce
The promoter of heavyweight Malik Scott has filed a protest with British boxing regulators over the controversial knockout Scott suffered against Dereck Chisora on Saturday in London.
Promoter Dan Goossen told ESPN.com that he wrote to the British Boxing Board of Control on Tuesday on behalf of Scott, seeking to have the sixth-round knockout overturned to a no-contest.
Scott and Chisora were engaged in a highly competitive main event at Wembley Arena when Chisora dropped Scott with an overhand right hand in the sixth round. Scott went to one knee, appeared unhurt and alert. He looked to his corner and then directly at referee Phil Edwards, picking up his count at six.
Scott rose at nine and appeared to be clearly off the canvas when Edwards waved his arms and ended the fight, angering Scott and his team because he had risen before the full 10-count. Edwards, however, never completed the count, simply waving the fight over after reaching nine.
"There was no doubt that the count did not reach 10 prior to Malik getting up," Goossen wrote to the British Boxing Board of Control. "The referee reached nine and simultaneously Malik got up. Whether or not 10 had to be verbally stated by the referee or just the elapsed time of 10 occurring, the facts [and video] will show neither happened in this case.
Dan Goossen
"Bottom line, Malik was up at the count of nine. The key is the decision was ruled a KO and not a TKO and subsequently the referee is required to count to 10 or, at the least, not wave the fight off until a full 10 seconds had elapsed, which it did not. A TKO would have allowed the referee to call the fight anytime before the count of 10. We've requested the British Boxing Board of Control to review the video and have asked to have the KO result changed to a no-contest."
Goossen told ESPN.com that he believed that Edwards made an honest mistake and that the Scott team just wants it to be corrected. "The sports world has evolved through the years and a lot of it is through the use of instant replay," Goossen said. "We have the ability here, regardless if it's days afterward, to make the right call. I don't think the referee did anything intentional to help the hometown fighter. I believe it was an honest mistake.
"What eats at me, and what I feel bad about, is you take a fighter like Malik, and there are thousands like him, who give their blood, sweat and tears to this sport," he said. "They are doing everything they can to get to the top and then something like this happens.
"It's not right for the fighter. If he loses, I want him to get that loss. If he didn't deserve to have the fight stopped, he shouldn't be penalised for it because the referee made a mistake. There is too much at stake. I don't want to take anything from Chisora because this was a competitive fight, but it should not have ended on a mistake made by the referee."
It has not been determined if the British Boxing Board of Control will review the fight and consider Goossen's request.

This I believe
I believe each of us can make the world better and cleaner
From the time I was a young child, I'm now 55 I have always believed we should help each other and share. Since I was 5 years old I have ridden a bicycle for fun and errands. I used to ride it on my newspaper route and to mow lawns to neighbors. Now I find riding a bicycle is still fun and good for my health as well as the worlds health.
I have always been a volunteer. Working for no money just for the reason it was the right thing to do. I volunteered at the Red Cross as a hemotron operator in the blood services are for over 10 years. I also donated blood in the 60 day club. When I helped in the evening and week ends I drove the DAT van. Disaster Action Team van. We would go to fires to help relocate the family.
At the Library I used to adapt toys for the handicapped in a program called project adapt. While I was doing that I found they had talking books for the blind that needed repairs (tape players marked in braille). I started working on them and found some co-worker at the phone company PIONEERS also used to repair them. We all started meeting on Saturdays and got a nice group of 6 that used to help. I mentioned it at the Red Cross one day to a fellow volunteer and he said he used to fix them at the General Electric ELFUN group. We all joined up and have about 10 people that help out. A few are husband and wife all helping.
At work we also had an EXPLORER post associated with the Boy Scouts where we helped high school students learn about electronics. I headed up that groups for a few years. We had students make volt ohm meters from kits we gave them. This way they could learn about the parts and hoe thy work as well as have it to use in their future careers.
When I moved to Arizona I couldn't believe how clear and sunny it was. I installed a Solar Grid tied system on my home myself before incentives or net-metering. My wife and I joined a local solar group and the national ASES American Solar Energy Association to help educate others about living cleaner. We are also in a local Electric Vehicle group that is part of the National EAAEV.org It's interesting that many of us have cleaner more efficient homes and vehicles. We all think they go together very well.
My wife and I continue to ride our bicycles, help out in our local church and volunteer in many organizations. We believe each one of us can and does make a difference every day.

Why Mentorship with YWiB?
Mentorship is an excellent opportunity to kick-start your career and to gain insight into the topics and goals that are most important to you and your growth. YWiB's Mentorship Program is a mentee-driven program that allows the mentee to cater their interactions and growth to their own career goals.
Tailored to the mentees' careers and interests, our mentorship coordinators strategically select mentors based on the mentees' needs and goals to help with both professional and personal development. Based on mentee applications, we seek out those in the Calgary business community who align most with the mentees' career aspirations and will help to inspire and guide them in achieving their goals.
You must be graduated from school and currently working. If you're a student, please explore your University YWiB Chapter to see if they have a mentorship program for you.
This program is for anyone who is:
- Looking for some guidance in personal or professional development
- Looking for, or experiencing, a career change
- Someone in the first 10 years of their career
- Motivated to learn and grow within their careers
Program Schedule
Applications are open year-round. Mentorship pairings begin in October- January, and the program kicks off the following January and runs through to May/June. The topics for each event are tailored to the interests of participants. Full schedule details will be provided to accepted applicants.
We encourage prospective mentees to apply year round, as once your application is reviewed, and if we are able to find you a suitable mentor, we may pair you in the current program.
Our program includes a Launch Party on January 31 where mentee and mentor pairings initially meet and get to know the group. This is followed by 2 workshops throughout the program based on the cohort's interests, and a Wrap Up event in May where time is taken to reflect on the past 5 months as well as goals achieved, and actionable steps to be taken for the future.
Each pair is required to meet up in person at least once per month to discuss goals, challenges and/or next steps with regard to personal and professional growth. As each pairing is unique, these discussions will look different for everyone.
Program Fees
There is no application fee for the program. Mentee applicants will only be charged once successfully paired with a mentor.

Another Year with the Cashbox Canada Team
Submitted by Sandy Graham
As Cashbox Canada heads into its 8th year of publishing, as the Editor in Chief, I have had time to reflect on 2016 and all we have covered here in the music industry, both here in Canada and on a global level as well.
We have bid farewell to many greats this year, and some were more personal than others. The loss of my dear friend and mentor, Bobby Curtola left a heartache I could never have imagined. But his love of people and music is the legacy and the torch he has left behind for us to carry on.
I need to thank the ones who stood beside our magazine for what is always turbulent waters in these current times in the music business. Chris Wardman, Lenny Stoute, Don Graham, Michael Williams, Pat Blythe, Mark Smith, Iain Patience, Kathy Hahn have all kept us going with stories, personal one on one interviews, and their love of the music shows through it all.
We welcomed Jain MacMillan who graciously stepped up to the plate as our graphic designer for our weekly covers, while we said goodbye to the talented Gillian FitzGibbon who has gone on to pursue a different career that captures her free spirit and love of horses.
To my Celtic family, Meghan Bold of Bold Steps, Stephen Lamb and Brook Richardson along with OMFG, as well as Rory Sinclair and Caledon County for always being there for me to continue to promote my heritage.
As always the publicists like Anya Wilson, Jane Harbury, Glenda Fordham, Eric Alper who are all steadfast in their frequent deliveries of new music and new artists for us to experience here at Cashbox. A special thank you to all the others who keep us on their email blasts and mail deliveries.
To my special friends Michelle and Jae Gold and all the folks at CIMA thank you for making it easier to stay in this business by your caring support. People like Donald Quan, Dave Woods, and so many others who treat us with incredible respect.
The most important people to thank are the ones who create, record and perform their music. Without you we would not have a job to do.
I have been privileged to work in this business for over 40 years, and continue to wake up every day with the drive and love that I had in my youth, thanks to the music.
Here is to saying goodbye to what was a bittersweet and hard 2016 and here is to the New Year. May it bring you all the dreams and hopes you have wished for and may you have all the health and happiness you deserve and the success that will come with it.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year,
Sandy Graham

About Twist
Don't worry if, while attending a movie night at Twist, you begin to hear a steady clicking sound—nothing is wrong with the craft shop's projector. The movie owes its inadvertent soundtrack to the needles that click together as guests busily knit and crochet scarves, mittens, and blankets. At social events such as Saturday's Movie Night, as well as at introductory classes held throughout the week, Twist's staff members foster an informal environment in which they help guests hone their clothes-making skills. They stock their cubbies with polychromatic yarns and other supplies and keep the shop open for crafters in need of a nonjudgmental place to knit tube socks for their kitchen table's legs.

Platform: PC (reviewed) | PS3 | Xbox 360 (tested)
Developer: Eidos Montreal
Publisher: Square Enix
How can you follow a game like Deus Ex? Invisible War failed to satisfy our expectations despite actually being a capable game in its own right, leaving us to wonder if the original could ever successfully be complemented by a sequel. After all, it's probably the best game ever made. Eidos Montreal, however, made the brave decision to develop a prequel and a stylistic reboot to the series - and as it turns out, the decision has paid off with one of the finest games you'll play this generation.
After security consultant Adam Jensen's company is attacked by a mysterious group of cyborg commandos, the reluctantly augmented hero is catapulted into a dystopian web of conspiracy, corporate espionage, paranoia and the far-reaching implications of human augmentation. Shades of grey and no clear boundary between good and evil define the experience, resulting in a thrilling mature narrative that's packed with revelations and fragile alliances.

Welcome to the website for Granby and Sutton villages
Granby and Sutton
Granby and Sutton parish is mid way between Nottingham and Grantham two miles south of Bingham and the A52 trunk road. The villages of Granby and Sutton are one mile apart in the flat Vale of Belvoir . The land was once part of the estate of the Duke of Rutland who still resides at Belvoir Castle, close by. The parish is part of Rushcliffe Borough, based in West Bridgford, Nottingham
On this web site You can find out about , events and activities in the villages, the parish council, the parish plan, local organisations and services, the village hall and the cemetery and read the latest newsletters. We have also included the details for people you may wish to contact (just click on the relevant tab at the top of this page)
There are approximately 150 properties in the two villages. All Saints Church dates back to the 11th Century and stands in a closed churchyard in the centre of Granby. It consists of a nave, chancel, tower and vestry. The six bells provide a distinctively beautiful peal.
Granby, which is a designated conservation area, still has two popular public houses – the 'Boot and Shoe' and the 'Marquis of Granby'. The Village Hall (formerly the Village School) which serves both villages is the only community hall. It is a Victorian building with fairly high maintenance requirements. It also has a small play area at the rear but this is not well equipped and not well suited to ball games.
There are no shops in Granby or Sutton. The only provisions that can be purchased are alcohol from the pubs or eggs from the garage! There is a vehicle repairs garage and MoT station. Most children under 11 years travel by bus to attend Orston Primary School.
Secondary age pupils attend Toot Hill School at Bingham; Grantham Girls' or Kings High School for Boys' in Grantham or the Nottingham High Schools.

Study: Duerson had brain damage
Dave Duerson, a former NFL player who committed suicide in February, had "moderately advanced" brain damage related to blows to the head, according to the researcher who made the diagnosis.
"It's indisputable" that Duerson had chronic traumatic encephalopathy, a disorder linked to repeated brain trauma, Dr. Ann McKee said Monday.
The findings were announced as part of an effort conducted by the Center for the Study of Traumatic Encephalopathy at Boston University's School of Medicine. The CSTE Brain Bank has the brains of more than 70 athletes and military veterans, with football players comprising more than half of the athletes.
Duerson played safety in the NFL for 11 seasons, seven with the Chicago Bears, and was chosen for four Pro Bowls before retiring in 1993.
"Dave Duerson had classic pathology of CTE and no evidence of any other disease," McKee said, "and he has severe involvement of all the (brain) structures that affect things like judgment, inhibition, impulse control, mood and memory."
The body of Duerson, who was 50, was found in Sunny Isles Beach, Fla., on Feb. 17. He left a note asking that his brain be given to the NFL's Brain Bank. He shot himself in the chest, "presumably" to preserve his brain for study, said Chris Nowinski, co-director of the CSTE.
The other co-directors are McKee, Dr. Robert Cantu and Dr. Robert Stern.
Duerson's case was "moderately advanced," McKee said. "The likelihood is that if he hadn't had the CTE, he wouldn't have developed those symptoms that he was experiencing at the end of his life and perhaps he wouldn't have been compelled to end his life."
Cantu said that such results normally are published first, but the Duerson family wanted them released earlier. Duerson's former wife, daughter and three sons attended the news conference.
"We have been given the gift of closure," said his son, Tregg. "We accept this gift with great humility, as we are mindful of other families that have lost loved ones and still bear the burden of unanswered questions."
Duerson had at least 10 concussions in his NFL career, according to his family, and lost consciousness during some. However, he never was admitted to a hospital for them, Stern said. But he said it's also important to address hits to the head that don't cause concussions.
CSTE, created in 2008, is a collaboration between the BU School of Medicine and the Sports Legacy Institute, headed by Nowinski. The center has been aggressively researching head trauma in sports, and has received a $1 million gift from the NFL, which it has pushed for better treatment of concussions.
"We hope these findings will contribute more to the understanding of CTE," the NFL said in a statement. "Our Head, Neck and Spine Medical Committee will study today's findings, and as a league we will continue to support the work of the scientists at the Boston University Center and elsewhere to address this issue in a forthright and effective way."
Duerson was a third-round draft choice by the Bears out of Notre Dame in 1983. He played safety on the team that won the Super Bowl in the 1985 season. He moved to the New York Giants for one season in 1990, playing in another Super Bowl, then spent his last three NFL years with the Phoenix Cardinals.
Cantu said there is no treatment for CTE and research is being done to find ways to identify it in living people.
McKee compared the condition of Duerson's brain to those of other NFL players studied by the CSTE.
The damage wasn't as severe as that seen in the brains of Wally Hilgenberg, a Minnesota Vikings linebacker who died at 66 of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or Lou Creekmur, a Detroit Lions lineman who died at 82 of dementia, she said. The damage was about the same as that in the brain of former Houston and Miami linebacker John Grimsley, who died at 45 of an accidental gunshot wound.
Nowinski said "the latest version of the NFL's guidelines (on concussions) are well thought out. And, I think, with the state of the science today, it's about the best we can do."
But he said the problem starts much earlier, in youth football.
"The 6-year-olds are playing the same games as the pros when we know that their brains are far more susceptible to this damage," he said. "My next focus is how do we change youth football so that a kid doesn't show up in the NFL with 10,000 hits to their head already?"
The NFL said it will "advocate for the passage of Lystedt laws in all states" to protect athletes from concussions.
The Lystedt law was adopted by the state of Washington, effective in July 2009, and 15 states have passed similar legislation since then, the league said.
The Washington law requires school districts and leagues using school property to remove from games or practice players that are suspected of having sustained a concussion. It also prohibits them from returning until authorized by a doctor trained in concussions, and mandates that parents and athletes sign concussion information sheets.
It is named for Zackery Lystedt, who returned to a school football game after suffering a concussion when he was 13. He suffered brain damage and fell into a coma, but has regained movement in his extremities.
Nowinski wants more safeguards.
"It's amazing to me that we have pitch counts in youth baseball to protect children's elbow ligaments," he said, "but we do not count how often we hit them in the head to protect their brains."

|Summary, etc.:
From one of the country's most recognizable journalists: How becoming a grandmother transforms a woman's life. After four decades as a reporter, Lesley Stahl says the most vivid and transforming experience of her life was not covering the White House, interviewing heads of state, or any other of her stories at 60 Minutes. It was becoming a grandmother. She was hit with a jolt of joy so intense and unexpected, she wanted to "investigate" it-as though it was a news flash! And so, using her 60 Minutes skills, she explores how grandmothering changes a woman's life, interviewing her friends like Whoopi Goldberg, her colleagues like Diane Sawyer, and the proverbial woman next door. On top of these personal accounts, she interviews scientists and doctors about physiological changes in women when they have grandchildren, anthropologists about why there are grandmothers in evolutionary terms, and psychiatrists about the therapeutic effects of...

The self-catering apartment sleeps up to 6 people (1 double room / 1twin room / living room (with 2 sofa beds) / kitchen / bathroom with huge feature tadelakt shower/central dining area) and large roof terrace with seating area and sunloungers and barbacue with sea views and views of the medina and mountains beyond. The terrace is shared with 2 other apartments but usually you will the terrace to yourselves.There is daily cleaning and also the option to order traditionally cooked food to enjoy in the comfort of your apartment at your request. The atmosphere is laid back moroccan chic one can enjoy a mint tea on the high terrace whilst taking in the panoramic views of the medina or relax in a candlelit bath with a glass of wine. There is a guardian on hand to help and advise as required.
There are links to the local surf club, so watersports including windsurfing/surfing/kitesurfing/bodyboarding can be easily arranged. Also camel treks / quad bikes / horse riding and more..!
Essaouira lies on the Atlantic coast, 100 miles from Marrakech. It takes its name - town of little ramparts from the impressive fortifications left by its Portugese founders.
The unique charm of this town rests in the harmonious blend of its many different aspects its moderate climate and superb beach, its working harbour and thuya wood workshops, its numerous souks and craft shops, its local artists and gnaoua musicians. Essaouira is a beautiful, unique and relaxed town. It has sunshine and bright blue skies nearly all year round. It is a popular destination for windsurfers, surfers, artists, musicians, independant travellers and families and is very up and coming. There are many local festivals, masses of culture and tradition and fine restaurants.
It has a rustic feel of simplicity and has retained its charm with its fusion of beach life, the traditional and daily life in the old medina, excellent cuisine and an easy friendliness with the local people.
An excellent destination for families / couples / independant travellers (anyone with a slight sense of adventure!)
The medina and beyond
The medina (or walled town) is pedestrian only. Essaouira is quite a small town, so a car is only necessary if one plans on taking day trips to nearby beaches or beyond. There are car hire agencies where it is possible to hire by the day.
Everything in Essaouira is within walking distance.
This apartment has 23 verified reviews.
23 out of 23 people recommend staying here
Firstly we would like to mention the things, which where not so good:
1. My wife and me got flea bites after sleeping in the double bed. Maybe the cat Hampka brought them into the appartment!
2. The roof terrace was not that, what we expected after having watched the pics in internet. There was a great view over the Mellah, but the atlantic we only could guess!
So, there must be a false pic in the internet announcement.
What was wonderfull:
1. Fatimah and her traditional cooking. She made for us an extremly good tasting tajine and couscous. And she was a wonderfull person too, full of heart and soul!
2. Said was a very friendly custodian, with a big open ear for all problems. He has organized for us an excellent taxi from Taghazoud to Essaouira. He also welcomed us with some morrocan cookies and a wonderfull pot of Mint-Tea.
3. The appartment was an oriental dream! Maybe the way to the beach was a bit too long!
AMAZING!!! Exeeded our expectations in full! Thanks to Fatima the lady of many talents, Said the man who is there when ever you need him and ofcourse the owners Nicola & Damien. if there is a complaint it would be the photos used to promote the property...most pictures are taken in the property below Chez Nicola like the bed room picture and the living room picture, they are identical propertys but there is a slighty different set-up...DONT expect a 4 poster bed..., that was a slight dissapointment and dont know WHY the real photos arent used as it is just as beautiful if not better....BUT A DEFINATE recommendation!! Essaouira is great!...chilled...and you will get a proper holiday feeling....
Had a fabulous holiday in this lovely apartment...
In fact im thinking hard and cannot find a complaint!! Ok, the only compaint is we could not stay longer...
Can only thank Nicola (the owner) Fatima (the maid) and Said (the man whos there when you need him!)
Cant wait to go back if its vacant.. Had a tear in my eye when i left.
Miss the apartment, weather people and food...Especially Fatimas tagine.
Highly recommend this apartment!!
Dear Nicola,
We had a great stay in your apartment. I loved the way it is decorated. Especially the things you have made....("The cats from Essaouira", I love them ))
It was very nice to come back to after a nice day in Essaouira.
It is warm and romantic. The atmosphere makes you feel relaxed.
And the roof-terrace is wonderful. We could watch the sun go down and after we had a nice barbeque.
Said and Fatima are wonderful and very friendly.
They helped us a lot. And it was very nice to talk to them.
The only thing I would change is the kettle for hot water. We liked to take a bath, but the hot water was finished fast.
But we would definitly come back!!!
Thank you...
Mustapha & Kiona
Fantastic communication and help from the owner on a number of queries. Swift and very informative replies. Arrival instructions all arranged as planned and assisted superbly by the apartment manager when in Morocco. Clean and tidy apartment, with all the specifications detailed previously. Really enjoyed our time there and would greatly recommend using this to anyone else.
Nos ha encantado nuestra estancia en Essaouira. El apartamento es más bonito que en las fotografías, la única sorpresa fue que la terraza era compartida con otros tres apartamentos, cosa que no sabíamos, pero no nos ha supuesto ningún problema. Las habitaciones están decoradas con mucho gusto, el cuarto de baño precioso y muy amplio y la distribución resulta muy práctica y acogedra.
Como consejo no debes olvidar pedir toallas limpias a Fátima (encantadora) cuando sea necesario ya que se hayan en un armario bajo llave.
Absolutamente recomendable hablar también nada más llegar con Said, nos ayudó mucho a aclarar ciertas cuestiones importantes para nosotros, ya que ibamos con dos niños de 10 y 15 años y necesitábamos ciertos consejos que el no dudó en ofrecernos.
Essaouira ha sido una buena elección, así como el apartemento.

Has any else notice that iraq has added the yuan to there reserve. Its on their site.
Direct Investment Interest In ISX Please contact Me @ firstname.lastname@example.com
to me, another sign of further integration of Iraq into the global financial community. The IMF added the yuan to the SDR basket not long ago, and Iraq has availed itself of loans in SDRs. Additionally, china holds between $3 and $4 Trillion in U.S. debt, which means it is in their interest to enact policies that make sure they get a return on those treasuries. Iraq's largest source of income is in U.S. dollars from oil sales, so it just works for all parties imo.

The almost true exploits of an intrepid spinster and her stitching...and all of the things that make up her crazy, happy, quiet little life.

OMG! You're braver than I am!!! Sending prayers! Be safe Coni. We all need you. CathrynReplyDelete
Be safe...Stewry is worried! I'm enjoying the sister series. I'm 60 & Sister is 62 & she's coming up for a week long visit & then I we are driving back to TX so I can visit with family. It's just too long to drive by myself & 3 fur babies. We are both retired & nothing alike meaning she doesn't stitch or like dogs. Did I mention it's a 15 he car ride?? Maybe she'll drive & I can stitch!! I'm suppose to be cleaning for her arrival tomorrow but her flight doesn't get in until 4 so I can stitch a little more...right?? Take care & we will sister on!!ReplyDelete
Oh my goodness! Be safe out there, Coni! And stay warm.ReplyDelete
We do whatever it takes to get to a guild meeting. I once drove about 25 miles with a wind chill factor of -50 (that's minus) degrees and a faulty heater in the car. Hope you had a good time.ReplyDelete
Safe travels! It looks about the same where I live today too :(ReplyDelete
Hope you made it there and back home safely.ReplyDelete

TOY FAIR 2016: NECA Revels in Everything, From Life-Size Batman to Cinemachines
NECA's bread and butter these days is creating highly detailed, wildly accurate figures from modern video games and beloved movies from the recent to the classic. As they showed off at this year's New York Toy Fair, the company will continue that trend through the year, while also adding a few interesting styles along the way.
RELATED: CBR's Complete Toy Fair 2016 Coverage
One of the biggest new additions to the NECA family will be the Foam Replicas, many of which stand at life-size proportions. At the show, fans saw Batman and Harley Quinn from the "Batman: Arkham" video games, the Alien Egg with Facehugger, the title character from "Five Nights at Freddy's," Slimer and the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man (who thankfully wasn't life-sized, otherwise Ray would have to do a lot of explaining).
For still-big-but-not-human-sized collectibles, NECA continues to develop the Quarter Scale line. CBR debuted the Harley Quinn piece from "Arkham City." She will be joined by Batman pieces in that same scale based on Christian Bale in "Batman Begins" and Ben Affleck from "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice." Another familiar big screen icon, Hulk from "Avengers: Age of Ultron," will smash his way into the gang along with Donatello, the first in a series of 1/4 scale figures based on the 1990 "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" movie.
Of course, Alien and Predator will also make their presence felt in the Q scale format with versions based on "Aliens" and "Predator," respectively. The Aliens action figure line will move into its eighth series with a line consisting of characters from "Alien 3" like the Weyland Yutani Commando, Dog Aliens in gray and brown and Prison Uniform Ripley. The Predator family will also grow thanks to a Deluxe Ultimate Scarface Video Game Appearance figure as well as the Deluxe Clan Leader and the Kenner-based 16th wave consisting of Spided Tail, Stalker and Ghost. In other classic '80s sci-fi movie toy news, NECA will celebrate the 25th anniversary of "Terminator 2" with T-800, T-1000 and Sarah Connor figures as well as the Ultimate Tech Noir Terminator.
The Alien and Terminator franchises will also be represented in NECA's new die cast vehicle line, Cinemachines. "Alien" and "Aliens" will make their presence felt with pieces like Fossilized Space Jockey, Nostromo, Space Jockey Ship, Nostromo Escape Pod, M577 Armored Personnel Carrier, UD-4L Cheyenne Dropship, Hadley's Hope Daihotai Tractor and USS Sulaco Ship while the Tank HK and Aerial HK will represent "Terminator."
Plenty of other famous films from the '80s, '90s and as recent as last year found themselves represented at the NECA booth. The "Rocky III" line will include the new figure of Rocky sporting the belt as well as three re-issued figures including another Rocky and Clubber Lang in blue and black trunks. Moving from humans beating each other up to robots-versus-monsters territory, new "Pacific Rim" figures will include Ultra Deluxe versions of Mutavore and Hardship as well as Ultimate Gipsy Danger and Striker Eureka.
In addition to the more traditional style of figures, NECA also continues to bring retro cloth figures back into the mainstream with lines based on "Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure," "Home Alone" and "The Hateful Eight." We've seen pictures of most of these online, but actually getting to look at figures of young Keanu Reeves, Macaulay Culkin, Alex Winter and the less-young Samuel L. Jackson, Joe Pesci and Tim Roth is truly impressive.
NECA mixes both styles when it comes to the horror figures coming out in the near future. The "Ash Vs. Evil Dead" figures of Value Shop Ash, Eligos and Hero Ash come in the more traditional format just like the Ultimate "Friday the 13th Part III" take on Jason Voorhees. Meanwhile, Leatherface and Captain Spaulding from "Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2" and "The House of 1000 Corpses," respectively, land in the retro series.
Finally, shifting over to the world of video games, the company will offer a mix of characters from recent and classic games. "Uncharted 4" star Nathan Drake scores an Ultimate figure as well as a Sackboy version in the new "Little Big Planet." The Ultimate Kratos from "God of War III" was also on display alongside the Video Game Appearance Lance and Bill 2-pack from "Contra," as well as the Simon Belmont Video Game Appearance figure from "Castlevania."
Keep up with all the latest NECA and other collectible announcements on CBR via the weekly TOYING AROUND column every Saturday.

This Southern boy certainly knows the way into his girlfriend's cliché heart.
Now, we know things go down differently in the South than they do where we're based in NYC. There are plenty more cowboy boots, country boys and Kenny Chesney songs, which is all "fine and dandy" in our book.
But, for a gal who's not from around those parts, a date proposal that involves large quantities of mud does not sound like a fun, romantic way to spend a Friday night. Especially when it's phrased in the way this Southern boy put it to his girlfriend via text (which she then shared on Twitter).
Boots, whiskey and giving "the Chevy hell" ... if this isn't a cliché, we don't know what is! Relationship Fail: Are You Hotter Than My Wife?
At least this cowboy knows the way to his girlfriend's heart, but we hope he realizes this won't work on every other girl in town. A beer in a honky tonk bar would be just fine for us.
If you find an example of a particularly annoying, funny or weird thing that couples or singles post online—whether it be on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Craigslist or another site—we'd love to see it! Send your submissions to firstname.lastname@example.com. You won't regret it, but the offending person will!

The latest novel from Nancy Moser in the American Tapestry Series, The Journey of Josephine Cain begins when Josephine Cain accompanies her father, General Cain and her mother to the Ford Theater as he has returned from the war. Only for Josephine, this day will become memorable in a way she never expected when she sees President Lincoln shot in the balcony. This will be a lasting reminder that the war will never truly be over in the hearts of some men.
As General Cain now transitions from being a General in the war to heading up the efforts to join the building of the Transcontinental Railroad in a competition to see if the East can build their connection faster than the west can. Josephine is tired of spending the last year with her mother and Aunt Beatrice mourning the loss of her brother, Thomas and her cousin in the war. She only wishes she can convince her father to allow her to accompany him while he works on the construction of the railroad, but with the development of unsavory types springing up wherever the railroad stops, her father isn't about to put her welfare at risk.
When Lewis Simmons joins her father before he leaves to begin his work, she suddenly sees her prospects in staying at home becoming a bit more appealing since most the single men have died in the war. However Lewis has other motives in his plans to marry Josephine and gain the approval of her parents in doing so. What he doesn't expect is to head west in his efforts to sway Josephine to fall in love with him, nor does he expect another man to turn her eye, one that does not have the influence of a suitable background and instead is merely an Irish worker on the railroad. Will Josephine learn the true intentions of the man she is slowly falling in love with or is she merely falling in love with the idea of being married?
I received The Journey of Josephine Cain by Nancy Moser compliments of Litfuse Publicity and Summerside Press for my honest review. I did not receive any monetary compensation for a favorable review and the opinions expressed in this review are strictly my own. This is the sixth book in the American Tapestry Series and a truly MUST READ for those of you that love a bit of real life history as the backdrop for your romance novels. In this one the Transcontinental Railroad makes its debut and the author includes a reference for readers of what really happened along the way at the end of the novel along with a great discussion guide that book clubs will LOVE! Once again the strong determined female character is what really keep me glued to this one. Josephine is willing to take the needed risks to do the right thing even if it means stepping on a few toes to get there. I love where Nancy Moser took this story amid the turmoil surrounding the disgruntled Lewis and the chivalrous actions of Hudson Maguire. I rate this one a 5 out of 5 stars and once again another Nancy Moser novel has found its way into my permanent personal library.
