CHICAGO –Whether you want to call him Mr. Clutch or Mr. Double Clutch probably depends on whether you call the glass half-full or half-empty.
Truth be told, Jay Cutler was a little of both Sunday, Oct. 28.
All that matters is he came to play in the fourth quarter and did what the Bears needed him to do to win the game.
On the final drive, he was a surgeon, slicing up the Panthers, cracking open their rib cage and going directly for the heart.
On that march, Cutler completed 6 of 7 passes for 52 yards, taking advantage of the Panthers' soft quarters coverage with a variety of slants and quick throws to set up Robbie Gould's game-winning 41-yard field goal as time expired that gave the Bears a 23-22 victory.
"We had a lot of time," Cutler said. "They were playing one coverage and we just kept hitting them and hitting them and hitting them."
Cutler's throws might not have been as impressive as his leadership late in the game. More than anything, it is leadership that wins games like this one.
Asked what was different on the last drive, receiver Brandon Marshall said, "Cutler."
He recalled watching Justin Medlock kick a field goal with 2:27 remaining that put the Panthers up by two points.
"I'm sitting here shaking, a little bit of the cold weather, a little bit nervous," Marshall said. "And (Cutler) just starts smiling. … It just put me at ease right away. The guys feel that vibe and they play off it. So Jay definitely led that whole drive and made us pick up our game."
But that was after three quarters of a performance that might not have won a game at Gately Stadium last weekend, let alone Soldier Field.
Through the first three quarters, Cutler had a 37.8 passer rating, three turnovers and contributed greatly to six sacks.
He would not blame it on whatever damage Ndamukong Suh did to his ribs. And he did not point fingers at receivers or blockers or coaches.
"I didn't play well," he said. "It starts with me."
The Bears' first drive ended with a Cutler interception that should have been a touchdown. Marshall had beaten rookie corner Josh Norman deep, but Cutler underthrew him. Norman picked it off at the Carolina 3.
Cutler also coughed up the ball twice on fumbles when he was hit.
It seemed you nearly had enough time to soft boil an egg in the time Cutler held the ball on some plays. He repeatedly was unaware of the mayhem that was about to engulf him. Cutler had opportunities to escape or throw the ball away, but he took sacks instead.
Cutler said he needed to look at the tape before he could say for sure what was happening, but he acknowledged he felt he was helping the Panthers' pass rushers.
"I didn't move as well as I thought I wanted to," Cutler said. "I kept asking JB (quarterbacks coach Jeremy Bates) and J-Cam (quarterback Jason Campbell) if I was staying in there too long or what the deal is."
If Cutler was frustrated with his performance, he was no more frustrated than some of those who paid good coin to watch it. They booed him and his offense viciously as he left the field at halftime.
Internet lip readers viewed a clip from the broadcast and said Cutler had expressed his displeasure with the fan reaction by using words not suitable for these pages.
But in the news conference afterward, Cutler empathized with the angry mob.
"I'd boo us too," he said. "I told those guys it was a boo-worthy performance if you will. It was pathetic offensively what we put out there. It wasn't up to standard, product-wise. We have to get better, we know that, our fans know that. Luckily enough we got out of there with a win, but the first half is nothing to be proud of."
It wasn't. But it was.
When asked about Cutler's performance, coach Lovie Smith chose selective amnesia.
"When you are a great quarterback, most of the time in the league no matter what happens early on, it's going to come down to what you do in the fourth quarter, what you do with two minutes left to go in the game," he said.
We can't argue.
Almost any quarterback can put together three miserable quarters as Cutler did Sunday. But there aren't many who can put together the game-winning drive.

It's an old question, but we've been through enough of these interventions now -- from Vietnam to Kosovo to Afghanistan -- to insist on asking it once again: Is the United States on a slippery slope in Libya, one that will lead to American military involvement on the ground? The evidence, on balance, is that under President Obama the U.S. presence is going to expand quickl -- but covertly.
Intelligence experts both in and out of government caution that there is a long way to go, and that Obama is a very deliberative president who is informed by a half-century of mission creep dating back to Vietnam. One U.S. official who spoke to National Journal about the covert "finding" signed recently by Obama emphasized that it mainly authorizes contacts with, and intelligence gathering on, the Libyan opposition, and that a more robust assistance program requires yet another presidential decision. "It's a nonlethal finding. Nothing goes boom," said Vince Cannistraro, a former head of operations at the CIA's counterterrorism center who used to process such findings at the National Security Council -- and who spent a good part of his career dealing with Libya under Moammar Gadhafi. "It doesn't authorize any guns or arms. It's things like radios, cell phones."
Beyond that, the Obama administration has been extremely careful to take a step-by-step approach to Libya, often following the more aggressive French and British (whose Special Air Service teams are reportedly already in Libya). Defense Secretary Robert Gates and other top administration officials told U.S. lawmakers privately on Wednesday that Washington has made no decision on sending arms to the opposition forces.
Still, it's also fair to point out that Obama has shown a great partiality to enlisting the CIA and its paramilitaries to fight wars covertly that he doesn't want to commit the U.S. military to engaging in publicly. In Pakistan, Obama has stepped up the agency's activities, and last fall The Wall Street Journal reported that Obama was giving the CIA operational control over elite Special Forces teams secretly in Yemen. Senior U.S. intelligence officials also acknowledge that the CIA's task in Iraq will grow as the U.S. military departs this year.
A nonlethal "preliminary" finding like the one that Obama is believed to have signed is required because the CIA's activities in Libya go beyond the normal intelligence gathering it does around the world, said a former senior agency official who would discuss presidential findings only on condition of anonymity. "It's the difference between collection and influencing outcomes," he said. "If the CIA is taking part in activities which are potentially going to influence a change of government, it goes beyond collecting foreign intelligence. You need authority from the president."
The next step, actually providing arms or aiding them in any active way against Gadhafi, would probably require a "lethal" finding, he and other former intelligence officials said.
Other factors may come into play as well. Gates, who has been notably skeptical of a no-fly zone and other types of U.S. involvement, plans to leave office by the end of the year, and he might be replaced by a more aggressive champion of military or covert action.
Above all, now that Obama has openly staked his credibility on Gadhafi's departure, the president may have little choice but to arm and aid a badly outgunned and undertrained opposition, lest a long stalemate and a possible slaughter result. "The opposition isn't very much of a military force," Cannistraro said. "They're a bunch of kids, mostly. Some of them are looking at guns for the first time in their lives." The slope does seem slippery -- but it's not yet clear how steep it might be.

It might be time to put the Miami Dolphins offense on the side of a milk carton because it continues to be missing in action.
Their playoff hopes may have disappeared as well.
Buffalo Bills safety Jairus Byrd and linebacker Bryan Scott each intercepted Miami quarterback Ryan Tannehill inside the final two minutes of play to thwart a Dolphins fourth quarter rally in a 19-14 win Thursday night.
Miami (4-6) is now three games back in the loss column of current wild-card leaders Indianapolis and Pittsburgh, who are both 6-3 on the season.
In the last two games, the Dolphins have played two of the worst defenses in the league in Buffalo (4-6) and Tennessee and only managed to score one offensive touchdown. Miami suffered a touchdown drought of over nine quarters dating back to their game in Indianapolis two weeks ago before Tannehill connected with wide receiver Davone Bess for a 2-yard touchdown with 8:48 left in the fourth quarter.
The Dolphins failed to even cross midfield until late in the third quarter. When they finally did cross into Bills' territory, Dan Carpenter clanked a 50-yard field goal off the right upright.
But the Dolphins offense finally broke through and got into the end zone on the next possession to end the streak. Tannehill led the Dolphins on an 11-play drive aided by two defensive penalties to move inside the Bills' 10-yard line. Tannehill found Bess for a score to pull Miami within 19-14 with under nine minutes to play.
Bills punter Shawn Powell pinned the Dolphins on their own 1-yard line to force Miami to have to go 99 yards for the go-ahead score with under five minutes to play. Instead, Byrd came up with a spectacular diving interception of Tannehill to shut down the Dolphins' drive. Miami held Buffalo to a three-and-out to get the ball back with 1:24 left to play, but Tannehill was intercepted again to seal the win for Buffalo.
Buffalo's offense wasn't much better, but did enough to get the victory. Punt returner Leodis McKelvin took a Brandon Fields punt 79 yards to the house after the Dolphins opening possession to give the Bills a 7-0 lead. Kicker Rian Lindell then connected on his first of four field goals on the night to give the Bills a 10-0 lead.
Marcus Thigpen scored the only points of the first half for the Dolphins on a 96-yard kick return on the ensuing kick to pull Miami back within three.
It's not going to get any easier for the Dolphins' offense to get back on track. Next week, Miami plays host to the Seattle Seahawks and their defense, which is ranked fourth-best in the NFL allowing just 296.8 yards and 16.1 points per game. Buffalo heads to Indianapolis to take on the Indianapolis Colts.
Lindell was 4 for 4 on field goals on the night connecting on kicks from 32, 34, 42 and 19 yards.
In Fred Jackson's absence, running back C.J. Spiller carried 22 times for 91 yards to lead the way for the Bills. Ryan Fitzpatrick out-dueled Tannehill for the night as well completing 17 of 27 passes for 168 yards.
Tannehill was 14 of 28 for 141 yards and a touchdown, but his two interceptions late proved costly.

How Does Android + [Insert Name Here]'s Phone Become Like The iPhone?
Outrage abounds as news of Apple's latest move, perceived as yet another developer relations body blow, makes the rounds in the tech community.
Says frustrated commentator Travis in this Buzz thread from Jeremy Chone: "After the battery in my iPod Touch goes... I'll officially be DONE with anything Apple..."
Well, where does one go if leaving Apple? Android is a threat to Apple for sure, but sort of the way a micro meteor is a threat to an astronaut on their way to Mars. The relatively open, fragmented, wild-west environment of Android means that mixed App experiences break often on a given device. In this environment, developer freedom over time should encourage one of those rare breakout successes to challenge Apple's managed experience platform. This is the micro meteor that comes out of nowhere, right through the hull of a spacecraft. I liken it to the impact of a DOOM, created by iD Software for the PC. Think DOOM would have been allowed into the Apps store had it existed back then? Me neither.
So my question is this, if enough users want these new experiences born of freedom(and chaos) to arrive intact on their Android devices, how does Google sync manufacturers, carriers and developers with varying priorities as well as Apple syncs itself?

PMMA (Polymethyl methacrylate)
It has a high degree of sheen on the surface and rigidity. PMMA is easy to shape, strong and offers limitless opportunities for colouring. PMMA is UV stable and has very good weather resistance, making it suitable for outdoor use. The electrical properties are also good. The material is not affected by alkaline solutions, diluted acids or oils, but is attacked by strong acids, acetone and alcohols.
PMMA has relatively low heat resistance and should be used in situations where the temperature does not exceed 55 °C. It is possible to make PMMA more impact-resistant, but this is at the expense of its good optical properties. In the field of lighting, PMMA is normally used for shades and cover plates, as well as for outdoor signs, windows, contact lenses, etc.
PMMA is brittle, and where microscopic notches are present it can easily break. Just like PC, it is also sensitive to being under tension, which can lead to cracks forming over time.

CDW LLC (CDW), a leading provider of technology solutions to business, government, education and health care, recently published The Mobility Edge: CDW's 2012 Small Business Mobility Report, which is based on a survey of 752 mobile device users and IT professionals from U.S. small businesses in five industries about their use of smartphones, tablets and laptops. The report focuses on trends in small business use of mobile technology, such as bring your own device (BYOD) and use of productivity-enhancing apps; the challenges of mobility, such as managing security of mobile devices and reducing the risk they pose to company networks and data; and what small businesses can do better with the advanced capabilities of today's mobility solutions.
The survey found that almost all small business users surveyed (94 percent) believe their mobile devices make them more efficient, and most (67 percent) believe their companies would lose competitive ground without those devices – which may explain why IT managers surveyed report that 89 percent of their employees use personally owned mobile devices for work. There is some risk, though, and just 51 percent of those IT managers say their company has an effective strategy for managing and securing all of those additional devices.

(AP) 'Jihad Jane' faces life sentence for terror plot
A woman who called herself "Jihad Jane" and helped suspected terrorists overseas faces the possibility of life in prison at her sentencing this week in Philadelphia.
A federal judge must decide if 50-year-old Colleen LaRose of Pennsburg, Pa., presented a real threat to the U.S. or was easy prey for extremists seeking followers with U.S. passports.
LaRose admits she plotted to kill a Swedish artist over a cartoon that offended Muslims. Prosecutors will seek a long sentence Monday despite her extensive cooperation.
LaRose, who called herself "Jihad Jane" in videos posted on YouTube, returned from Ireland in 2009 to surrender to the FBI.
Jamie Paulin-Ramirez of Colorado and Maryland teenage Mohammad Hassan Khalid are also due to be sentenced this week.
Khalid, arrested before he turned 18, is the rare juvenile held in federal custody.

Just like producing a movie, at the Woods Hole Inn we are crafting great vacations, one customer at a time. Every movie begins with a great script and the Woods Hole Inn is no different — our script calls for us to make you feel pampered and welcome the minute you walk in the door.
I started my career in Hollywood, managing a group of actors and producing a few movies. I don't want to make my career sound too glamorous because it wasn't — thousands of people like me toil behind the scenes as part of the grist that turns the Hollywood mill. But I did learn a thing or two about star treatment that I use everyday in running the Woods Hole Inn.
I like to welcome guests the way I would welcome the star of my film onto set the first day — smiles, warmth and plenty of free bottled water. I like to clean the rooms imagining that Oprah and her entourage might walk in later tonight. I like to train staff to show off their knowledge of the local scene as if they were job interviewing for locations manager on "Jaws." I hope breakfast comes out feeling "Like Water for Chocolate" and your pillow top reminds you of James Bond.
These are hard things to achieve and we don't always get there. Has there been a bad day when the electrician made a mess right before check-in, the phone rang too many times to answer and a guest waited at the front desk feeling more like Rita Wilson than Tom Hanks? Yes. Now you know why Bruce Willis throws temper tantrums in his trailer when the coffee is cold — even on a movie set with a staff of hundreds, mistakes happen. So we apologize and try again. Most of our customers are much, much more amenable than Bruce (visit the inn and I'll share a few hair curlers for you).
In any case, nothing makes us happier than getting it right and I want to quote an email we received last night, because I think we succeeded in making this couple feel like Brangelina:
"My wife and I just finished a three day stay at the Inn and I can't stop talking about it to anyone who will listen. From the second we walked through the door at 28 Water Street the warmth we were greeted by, yourself and the Inn, captured our hearts forever. I cannot say enough about the cleanliness of the room and the efficiency of the staff.
We have stayed in Woods Hole before, but by far the location of the Inn is far more noteworthy than any other places we have stayed. We found it a complete luxury to drop our car off with the valet and not have to think about getting around for the rest of our stay. The area restaurants and attractions all within walking distances on the scenic main strip of Woods Hole, as well as Quicks Hole located in the same building. Talk about convenience. Not to mention the activities you planned and executed for us (ferry tickets waiting for us, wine chilled in our room, walking tour of Woods Hole, massages at Bellezza Day Spa) all completely flawless in their delivery. The things you said were going to be done, were done.
How can I write our happiness with the Inn with out mentioning Sara the Breakfast Queen. I can't express to you enough what a pleasure it was to wake up at our leisure, walk down the hall, open the breakfast room door to find the smell of freshly brewed coffee, homemade breakfast treats, and Sara's smiling face. To say the breakfast she prepared for us each morning was delicious would be an insult. The word just doesn't do enough credit to her skill. We especially liked the Linguiça and Asparagus bread pudding. I can still taste its' warm flavorful goodness.
We have spent the last few days figuring out excuses for us to return to the Inn and believe us it's not hard, if we could come every weekend we would! Again, Thank You for all of the wonderful memories we were able to take with us in celebrating our 5th year of marriage. We hope to see you soon!" — guest from Worcester, Mass.
I feel like Sally Field's did in her famous Oscar speech — "You like me, you really like me!" We live for this kind of feedback, and I am grateful to my tremendous staff for another star turn.
And when Brad and Angelina actually arrive? We are ready for you.

The chatter in Pig & Fiddle's packed dining room slowly subsides like a theater audience at curtain time. Owner Mark van Wie steps to the front of the room to introduce the evening's attraction. The south Minneapolis gastropub has orchestrated a five-course beer dinner in concert with fan favorite Surly Brewing.
Pig & Fiddle has hosted 10 of these dinners since opening in the fall of 2011, and they are hardly going rogue. As the Twin Cities' brewing culture is popping like a Belgian bomber cork, restaurants and breweries are collaborating on dining events pairing specially designed dishes with artisanal beers.
"It's a great way of getting people involved in good food and beer," said Corey Shovein, Surly's sales manager and certified cicerone (the beer version of a sommelier).
Shovein, who helped organize the event, and brewer Jerrod Johnson are there repping Team Surly, leading the convivial occasion, dishing beery details and fielding questions from the thirsty crowd of 50.
It's showtime, and Act I is an amuse bouche of strawberries, aged goat cheese rubbed with cocoa powder, watercress and an apple cider gastrique on grilled sourdough bread. Its liquid companion is Diminished SeVIIn — a low-alcohol Belgian ale made from the malt and mash runoff of the then-unreleased SeVIIn.
Other edible entertainment includes an eye-brightening baby beet salad alongside Surly's Bitter Brewer — hardly a side of fries schlepped with a Primo — chicken apricot sausage poached and paired with Furious and a smoking-bat, home-run entree of pork ribs with the loved and limited sour ale Pentagram.
Executive Chef Stephanie Kochlin, who occasionally emerges from the kitchen to discuss her pairings, returns after the ribs and receives a boisterous ovation. "I'm glad you guys liked it," she says before giving the lowdown on dessert — a bitter-chocolate pudding cake sensually matched with Surly's divinely rich Darkness.
Beer dinners have been springing up across the metro area, everywhere from Butcher & the Boar to Bar Abilene. While most involve local brewers, out-of-state beermakers are sometimes featured.
When Executive Chef Jeff Anderson opened Eat Shop Kitchen & Bar last September, the Plymouth restaurant started doing a dinner a month, selling out most of the 45-seat events. After a brief hiatus, Anderson is bringing them back with a Badger Hill beer dinner on Tuesday.
Since opening last summer, Minnetonka's Badger Hill has participated in a few dinners. Co-founder Brittany Krekelberg said the nonpretentious pairing parties are both informal and informative, with beer geeks and makers eager to talk craft. "I don't ever want to do a beer dinner that feels like a presentation," she said. "That's not fun."
Local brews, local chefs
While wine pairings are a dining-out convention, beer dinners are still on the rise. Amid the Twin Cities' brewery rush, beer banquets are occurring almost weekly. "Three or four years ago, you didn't see them as much," said Matty O'Reilly, co-owner of the Republic beer bars in Seven Corners and Uptown, which have hosted about 10 beer dinners. "That comes with the territory. We've got more local companies vying for their position in town and looking for draft lines. It's good exposure for the new companies to show their versatility."
Beer won't supplant wine as dining's top pairing partner anytime soon, but beer dinners are carving their culinary niche. Aside from being more accessible for consumers, Anderson says there are creative advantages to working with beer. "There are certain things that you can't do with wine that you can do with beer," he said. "You really don't want to do a lot of spicy food in your wine pairings, but that's something that's totally cool to do with beers. You end up washing away some of that heat."
Chefs often incorporate the showcased brews into particular dishes for special-event beer dinners. But at Nightingale in south Minneapolis, it's done daily. Chef/co-owner Carrie McCabe-Johnston steams her mussels with Boom Island's Brimstone instead of a more traditional white wine. The Minneapolis-made Belgian tripel adds a "richer quality," she said.
Finding new combinations
Figlio Executive Chef J.P. Samuelson recently brought suds suppers to the West End, launching a monthly summer series with local breweries in May that continues with a Lucid Brewing dinner Aug. 15. The former Solera chef said pushing beyond "no brainer" pairings — i.e. anything fried — can sometimes be challenging. Unlike wine, beer lacks the acidity to counteract its residual sugar abundance, he said.
Still, the less-obvious couplings can be the most rewarding, Samuelson said, recalling a time he teamed a strong pale ale from Excelsior Brewing with a caramel and tropical mango cheesecake. "It was one of the best food pairings I've ever had — beer or wine."
Both Samuelson and Anderson start by dissecting the beer's profile — sniffing and sipping as they would wine — and synchronizing their dishes with its flavors. Kochlin either aims to accent the beer's notes or find contrasting combos, like slicing a fatty meat with a tart, sour beer.
Meanwhile Keven Kvalsten, Republic's kitchen king, governs with a guiding principle: The lighter the beer, the lighter fare. Simple enough. But sometimes rules are meant to be broken, especially in the adventurous kingdom of craft beer.
"The beauty of beer is that you really don't have to follow the rules," said Samuelson, chuckling. "That's the way the beermakers like it, too. They're kind of a rogue bunch. That's why they get along with the chefs."

Judges always a factor in Pacquiao-Marquez
Manny Pacquiao says he needs a knockout when he meets Juan Manuel Marquez for the fourth time Dec. 8 in Las Vegas. And he might be right.
The decisions in the first three bouts were so agonizingly close — and so controversial — that the judges in Pacquiao-Marquez IV will be feeling the heat to try to even things out.
No self-respecting judge would ever admit to it, but it would seem to be the very human thing to do.
Perhaps that's why the Nevada State Athletic Commission selected three judges who had not worked any of the previous three bouts.
Adelaide Byrd (Nevada), Steve Weisfeld (New Jersey) and John Keane (England) will adjudicate.
"Whenever there's a rematch or, in this case, a triple rematch, I try not to use the same judges for two reasons," NSAC executive director Keith Kizer said. "One, it makes sense to have a fresh set of eyes. Two, we don't want the fighters worrying about what one judge did in a previous fight."
Pacquiao, a.k.a. Pac-man, won two fights against Marquez, one by split decision and one by majority decision. The other — the first installment of the trilogy — was scored a draw.
Interestingly, judge Burt Clements of California admitted after that first fight that he erred in scoring the first round 10-7 in favor of Pacquiao. The standard scoring would have been 10-6 because of the three knockdowns registered by Pacquiao.
So, if not for the mistake, Pacquiao would be 3-0 in the series.
Because of the razor-thin margins of the three bouts, each fighter has vowed to be more aggressive in the fourth fight and look for the knockout.
"We plan to fight at a much faster pace this time like we did in the first fight in the early rounds," said Freddie Roach, Pacquiao's trainer. "That's where we had the most success."
Said Marquez: "I have to catch the judges' eyes by being more explosive, taking more risks, even going for the knockout."
Prediction: Nice words from both fighters, but the fourth fight will be a carbon copy of the other three.
Except that Marquez will counter punch his way to a victory by close decision. What else?

thorberg reading glasses embla mottle pink
READING GLASSES was founded in the summer of 2006 after Lisbeth Thorberg discovered that "her arms were not long enough!", it was high time for her to buy a pair of reading glasses. It was impossible to find a pair of reading glasses that was matching her clothes. The range was cheap, timid & sad, what we in public area call "gas station frames". The thought of matching her outfit by placing such a thing in her face did not exactly make her thrilled.
As the problem solver and cut & paste person Lisbeth is, from sewing a very wide manchester pants for artists in her youth & also developing fun and educational material for handicapped children. It was now impossible for her to let go of the idea of good reading glasses. For the past 25 years, she had worked as an agent in women's clothing and interior decoration. This was her home, safe and feel-good area. It was just to get started! Soon the first Thorberg collection was in stock in Sweden. Sales then started as an activity solely for her agencies. There has been a rapid change since that day. The frumpish, dull and dorky stamp on reading glasses is now blown away. Today, frames are such an important fashion attribute that Thorberg even produce some models in clear glass, without any magnification.

This represents a sample of the fees tenants will be required to pay once the terms of the tenancy have been agreed. When you agree to place an offer on a property through The Frost Partnership a holding fee of £200 is required to hold the property. This amount will be deducted from the following fees due prior to moving in.
Pre-tenancy - All fees are exclusive of VAT
Tenancy agreement/Admin fee £100 per tenant
Referencing fee £60 per tenant
Guarantor reference fee (if applicable) £60 per guarantor
Additional variable costs
Check-in fee Varies on the size of the property
Rent 1 x the agreed calendar month's rent in advance
Security deposit 1.5 x the agreed calendar month's rent as a deposit
NB. Increased security deposits may be required in certain situations. Please call your local office for more information.
Tenancy agreement fee covers our administrative costs for preparing tenancy agreements and administrative costs to handle your deposit with the Tenancy Deposit Scheme.
Referencing fee is required for all the reference checks we need to make to verify your credit status, previous employer, current or past landlords - to ensure you are able to honour the agreement.
The check-in fee covers the cost of the check in report which details the exact condition of the property on the day the tenancy commences and is sent to both landlord and tenant as a record of this. The check in is designed to protect both tenant and landlord should any disputes arise at the end of the tenancy relating to the condition of the property.
Deposits are held during the term of the tenancy agreement and released when the property is returned back to the owner, only when the property is proven to be in good condition. If you own pets you may have to pay a slightly higher security deposit fee.

Scott Brown finance aide declares candidacy for chairmanship of Mass. GOP
Kirsten Hughes declared her candidacy for chairwoman of the Massachusetts Republican Party a day after the current chairman announced he would not seek reelection next month.
Hughes told state committee members of her plans in a letter released today. A former political field director for the MassGOP who ran the party's state convention in 2010, Hughes is a Quincy city councilor who was elected last year in a district with only 10 percent Republicans, she wrote.
"It was during my time working at the MassGOP helping others run their campaigns (and by running my own campaign for elected office) that I discovered the value of our Republican town and city committees to local candidates,'' she wrote.
Hughes, a professional singer and an attorney, also served as deputy finance director for the unsuccessful reelection campaign of US Senator Scott Brown. Two state committee members told the Globe Wednesday that Brown is pushing to install Hughes as chairman as he positions for his next political move.
The current chairman, Robert A. Maginn Jr., told state committee members Wednesday that he would not run for reelection in January.

Goliath, Meet David
Goliath, Meet David
Allowed a Goliath to level up four times before killing him.
Low level Goliaths can be found in the Frostburn Canyon area. You will discover this area automatically by following the Story Missions. Use fast travel to get here quickly. A Goliath is a humanoid looking enemy with a white, burning mask. They spawn randomly, but there's a good chance to find a bunch of them in Frostburn Canyon - even if you have completed this area already. To make enemies respawn you can re-enter the area or back out to the main menu and reload the game.
Shoot off his mask and he will go into rage mode. You must now protect him so that he can kill enemies. Killing enemies is what gives him XP and makes him level up. Kill the strong enemies that would cause him to much harm and weaken the small ones so that he can get one-hit kills. Once Goliath reaches the rank "Fatal God-Liath" (displayed below his health bar), you are free to kill him.
It's recommended to reach at least level 15 before attempting this.
Method 2:
Another brilliant place to get this achievement fairly easily is on the Mission "The Once and Future Slab". In this mission you will have to deliver a letter to the Slab King. Once you get to Thousand Cuts you will have to fight through a couple of enemies to get to where the Slab King is. This is the place where you will be able to do the achievement. Up above, next to the Slab King are two Badass Goliaths. Shoot both of their heads off and they will start to fight their teammates. Once they start to do so, you may go and hide(I suggest to the right of where you entered up that staircase. Once there you can help your Goliaths by hurting enemies so they can kill them with ease. If there's only one or two enemies and the Goliath won't stop chasing you, you can kill those enemies he isn't killing and another wave will hop down to fight. All you have to do is run him near an enemy and go back to your hiding spot. Keep doing this and eventually he will turn into a Godliath. One important note is that YOU HAVE TO GET THE KILLING SHOT.

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. - A Daytona Beach police officer was arrested on DUI charges after crashing into a drainage ditch, according to authorities.
Officer Shawna Hamel was arrested late Thursday in Daytona Beach. She was not injured in the crash.
According to a charging affidavit, Hamel was driving a 2013 Ford Mustang around 11 p.m. in the 300 block of Bill France Boulevard when she failed to navigate a turn, sending the car into the ditch. The Mustang sustained damage to its left rear side.
Officers said Hamel was unsteady on her feet and had a strong odor alcohol.
Two witnesses said he noticed the Hamel inside a nearby Sunoco and believed she was under the influence of some type of 10 substance, the charging affidavit stated.
When asked what caused her to crash, Hamel said, "I missed my exit," according to the affidavit.
Hamel said she had consumed a couple of drinks and had taken some type of drug for her shoulder, the affidavit said.
Hamel was asked to perform several field sobriety tests and struggled to complete them, the affidavit said.
She was arrested and was given a breath test, which showed she had a blood alcohol leverl of .170 and .162, more than double the state's legal limit to drive, which is 0.08, according to the affidavit.
Hamel has been placed on paid administrative leave pending the outcome of the criminal
charge and an Internal Affairs investigation.

D&FCo. Original Feather Pillow Queen Size - Soft (20oz)
The Original Feather pillow: The pillow that started it all. With over 100 years of pillow making and design experience the Down & Feather Co. Original Feather Pillow is just like the one at grandma's house. This old fashion pillow is filled with premium quality 100% Hungarian goose feather and wrapped in a old fashion blue and white striped cotton shell and sealed using original knife edge stitching.
Old Fashion But All New: This Old Fashioned Feather Pillow is filled with premium quality 100% Hungarian goose feather and wrapped in a old fashion blue and white striped cotton shell. Using higher quality Hungarian goose feather means fewer feathers will poke you while you sleep at night. If you are looking to replace your existing feather pillow that you have had for 25, 30 or even 40 years well here it is. Just remember the one you are replacing has probably become very soft and broken in after decades of use. This one is brand new and may require both love and patience to feel like the pillow you are replacing.
All Sleep Positions: This pillow is ideal if your primary sleep style is on your side and occasionally rotating to your back or stomach. Feathers sleep a lot firmer under compression, meaning when you rest your head on them, providing more support than a similar density all down pillow. As you roll to your back you will enjoy the support provided as the feathers compress under your head while remaining soft if you roll to you stomach. If you are not experiencing the support you hoped for while sleeping on your back just slide the pillow down you neck and just on top of your shoulders. That will allow the pillow to shape itself more around neck than your head for added support.
How clean is it?: Washing and drying down is expensive and time consuming. We never compromise on cleanliness. All of our Hungarian white goose down and goose feathers undergo rigorous cleaning using only environmentally friendly soap and recycled water while being tested by a third party to ensure our fill materials are both chemical and irritant free. And yes, it's Guaranteed Hypoallergenic.
Our Legendary Perfect Pillow Policy: If your pillow isn't perfect we will gladly adjust its firmness for FREE, one density level, for one (1) year from the date of purchase. It's that simple. You only pay for shipping the pillow to us for the FREE Adjustment.

Another attempt made to invent airless tire
Hankook, the big South Korean tiremaker, is out to reinvent the wheel
For years now, automakers have tinkered with the notion of a tire that doesn't need air. Basically, most of the resulting designs look like a plastic version of the wheels in Flintstones cartoons.
Enter South Korea's Hankook, which is showing off its own design. This one has "organically connected" spokes and a spongy construction that allows it to flex for bumps.
Hankook says it is 95% recyclable, since it is made from plastic -- or, if you want to get technical, elasticated polyurethane synthetics. It would roll more easily, saving energy, and drivers would never have to worry about flats or low air.
Of course, we keep getting tantalized with these designs, but are yet to see an airless tire hit the road. Driverless cars are now on the horizon, so maybe the idea of airless tire isn't so farfetched either.

Brooklyn, Sofia, Miley, Emma, and More Show Their Support at CNN's Heroes Tribute
The annual CNN Heroes: An All-Star Tribute event, which honors those making differences in their communities and around the globe, filled LA's Shrine Auditorium with plenty of stars last night. Emma Roberts was on hand to present in a short black Maria Lucia Hohan dress while Sofia Vergara chose dark hued Dolce & Gabbana and Brooklyn Decker went with a metallic Christian Dior number. Miley Cyrus, who performed "The Climb," arrived in a revealing yellow Roberto Cavalli gown with boyfriend Liam Hemsworth by her side. They weren't the only famous faces to show their support at the event since AnnaLynne McCord, Mary-Louise Parker, Christy Turlington, and others also came out for the show. CNN's own Anderson Cooper has since returned to NYC, but did his part by hosting the evening and wowing a few celebrities like Emma, who twittered that meeting him backstage was a dream come true.

Squash Blossom Flatbread with Tiny Cherry Tomatoes & Goat Cheese
Here's a super easy squash blossom flatbread that is big on summer beauty and taste. I got a couple of bunches of squash blossoms at the Farmers' Market today. Super fragile, squash blossoms need to be used the day they are picked. Usually, stuffed with a cheesy filling, coated with a crust and fried, I wanted a lighter preparation. I created a super thin pizza flatbread with premade pizza dough and rolled it out to a super thin crust. Sauteed the squash blossoms very briefly in olive oil with garlic and salt to impart flavor. Topped the crust with pesto, squash blossoms, and tiny halved cherry tomatoes. Dusted with crumbled goat cheese. Baked at 400 for 9 minutes. A very tasty, light dish with a summer party feeling. Enjoy!

Those that have talked to me about this topic know that it's a hot-button for me. The limit with the "traditional" approach, the ISC DHCP server with one of the three common TFTP servers, is about 40 machines before you risk losing machines during a boot. With 100 machines you are likely to lose 2-5 during a typical power-restore cycle when all machines boot simultaneously. The actual node count limit is strongly dependent on the exact hardware (e.g. the characteristics of the Ethernet switch) and the size of the boot image (larger is much worse than you would expect). Staggering node power-up is a hack to work around the limit. You can build a lot of complexity into doing it "right", but still be rolling the dice overall. It's better than build a reliable boot system than to build a complex system around known unreliability. The right solution is to build a smart, integrated PXE server that understands the bugs and characteristics of PXE. I wrote one a few years ago and understand many of the problems. It's clear to me that no matter how you hack up the ISC DHCP server, you won't end up with a good PXE server.

It's one of the many things you have to do. You are already far ahead of the "standard" approach. Don't forget flow and bandwidth control, ARP table stuffing and clean-up, state reporting, etc. Oh, and you'll find out about the PXE bug that results in a zero-length filename.. expect it. > For ultimate scalability, I guess the solution is to use multicast-TFTP. > I know that support for that is included in the PXE spec, but I've never > tried to implement it. Based on prior experience of PXE ROMs, the chance > of finding a sufficiently bug-free implementation of mtftp there must be > fairly low. This is a good example of why PXE is not just DHCP+TFTP. The multicast TFTP in PXE is not multicast TFTP. The DHCP response specifies the multicast group to join, rather than negotiating it as per RFC2090. That means multicast requires communication between the DHCP and TFTP sections. > > Likely with dhcpd, not sure how many dnsmasq can handle, but we have > > done 36 at a time to do system checking. No problems with it. As part of writing the server I wrote a DHCP and TFTP clients to simulate high node count boots. But the harshest test was old RLX systems: each of the 24 blades had three NICs, but could only boot off of the NIC connected to the internal 100base repeater/hub. Plus the blade BIOS had a good selection of PXE bugs. Another good test is booting Itaniums (really DHCP+TFTP, not PXE). They have a 7MB kernel, and a similarly large initial ramdisk. Forget to strip off the kernel symbols and you are looking at 70MB over TFTP. (But they extend the block index from 16 to 64 bits, allowing you start a transfer that will take until the heat death of the universe to finish! Really, 32 bits is sometimes more than enough. Especially when extending a crude protocol that should have been forgotten long ago.) > Dnsmasq will handle DHCP for thousands of clients on reasonably meaty > hardware.

Millions of years ago, the mighty dinosaur ancestors of chickens ruled the Earth, and in Peter Lippman's photo series Luxury Chicks, these birds are back on top, and they celebrate their superiority by donning designer gems made by human hands.
Lippman created this series for Marie Claire magazine to showcase jewelry from Cartier, Van Cleef & Arpels, Buccellati, and Piaget/Bouchero. Beyond showing off the sparkly things in a novel way, Lippman's photos infuse each chicken with a unique personality, from the elegant alpha chicken to the eccentric with showier tastes. These chickens don't quite look ready to subjugate humanity, but they do look ready to rule.
You can see the entire series at Lippman's website.

GREENSBORO, N.C. (AP) — C.J. McCollum scored 30 points and Lehigh upset Duke 75-70 to become the second No. 15 seed to beat a No. 2 during a wild Friday in the NCAA tournament.
The Mountain Hawks are the sixth 15 seed overall to pull off the trick. Norfolk State edged Missouri 86-84 in the West Regional earlier in the day, and No. 14 seed Ohio knocked off Michigan to add to the madness.
Duke dropped its first tournament game for only the second time in the past 16 years, and this one occurred just 55 miles from its campus. The Blue Devils also dropped their opener against 11th-seeded Virginia Commonwealth in 2007.
The Blue Devils had no answer for McCollum, a speedy guard who's a two-time Patriot League player of the year and the nation's fifth-leading scorer.
It didn't help that the Blue Devils hit just 6 of 26 shots from 3-point range.
Lehigh (27-7) led most of the game, drawing support from North Carolina fans who borrowed brown signs from Mountain Hawks supporters that read "Go Lehigh" to root against their rivals.
Lehigh coach Brett Reed said before the game his team came to Greensboro to do more than just compete — and that's exactly what it did.
The Patriot League champions led most of the first half despite shooting just 38 percent from the field.
Lehigh grabbed the lead for good at the 8:21 mark of the second half when Mackey McKnight made a 3-pointer.
The Mountain Hawks' momentum continued to build as the game went on and they started to pull away in the final three minutes.
McCollum hit a 3-pointer off a screen from Gabe Knutson and John Adams followed with a breakaway dunk to push the lead to 61-54 with two minutes to go.
Duke would get as close as three twice in the final 30 seconds, including when Quinn Cook hit a 3-pointer with 1.2 seconds left.
Duke fouled McCollum on the inbounds pass and he made up for two earlier misses from the line by hitting both shots to seal a shocking victory that sent the Greensboro Coliseum crowd into a frenzy.

Page for getting folks up to speed on the laser.
Don't cut anything particularly flammable or noxious. Check the Laser Infobase page for this list
When using the laser, whether for engraving or cutting, stay and watch your job.
Know where the fire extinguisher is and be ready to use it.
If your job catches on fire:
- You are more important than the laser--do not put yourself in unnecessary danger to save the laser. (Cf. Bloominglabs rules)
- Use your judgment--flare-ups will happen, and most go out quickly (a second or so) on their own.
- Any flame lasting longer than a second or two is a fire--put it out.
Eye safety
Do not look directly into either the cutting laser or even the visible targeting laser.
Make sure the lid is down before you even try starting your job. There is an integrated safety lock-out, but don't rely on this.
The lid should absorb most laser radiation, but if you're cutting reflective material, it wouldn't hurt to use the tinted safety glasses (should be located near the laser).
Always make sure the water pump is working and that there's plenty of water in the reservoir (blue bucket below the blower and compressor). Operating the laser without the cooling system running will damage it.
Quick Start
- Turn on main power strip
- Verify water pump and ventilation fan are running
- Make sure print area is clear and clean
- Start/attach dedicated computer and start up RetinaEngrave
- Place material to be cut/etched on honeycomb
- Close lid, holding it at the middle so it doesn't catch in the back
- Move lens head to top left of desired print area using either onboard or RetinaEngrave controls
- Adjust speed and power to appropriate levels for material and job
- Run raster portion before vector
- Watch your job like a hawk
- Allow the blower to clear any remaining smoke before opening the lid
- Remove your engraved/cut object!
Additional Tips
- For higher precision placement of the lens (say, for engraving on small objects) hit the padlock button on the control panel until it says "Unlocked", then use your hands to carefully move the lens to the correct starting location. There's no need to relock the lens position when you are done, just start the operation.

VIDEO: The Daily Zap for games played Jan. 4
Bynum-Gasol talk heats up | Rivers shoots down Griffin-'Melo rumor | Sanders, Neal have postgame beef
No. 1: Bynum trade keys on Sunday — The on-then-off trade talks involving the L.A. Lakers' Pau Gasol and their former big man Andrew Bynum, now on the outs with the Cleveland Cavaliers, might just be on again. And by on, we mean heating up big-time Sunday, since that represents the best last day to cross all t's and dot all i's by the end of business Tuesday. Trades of this nature typically take 48 hours to be finalized with NBA headquarters, and Jan. 7 is the date by which Bynum's contract calls for another $6 million guaranteed for the balance of the season. The Cavaliers would prefer not to throw good money after bad, of course, and the Lakers are focused on the luxury-tax benefits of acquiring and then shedding Bynum to reduce payroll. ESPN.com reported the revival of talks that previously were said to be squelched, and USA Today offered a little more context of a deal that – despite the big names involved – is about as sexy as an investor culling stock losers from his portfolio with the IRS in mind:
The Los Angeles Lakers big man once again is the subject of trade talks, this time with the possibility that he'd swap spots with former teammate Andrew Bynum in a possible deal that is of very little relevance to this particular season when it comes to the competitive landscape. This is about failed ventures on both sides and mutually-beneficial attempts to fix bad teams.
… [According] to a person with knowledge of the talks between the two teams, the only asset Cleveland has offered as of Saturday night is a second-round pick, and that won't be enough to get this deal done.
… By getting rid of Gasol in exchange for Bynum, the Lakers would escape the luxury tax territory this season while creating some badly-needed distance between them and the 'repeater' billing that is followed by such a huge, well, bill. …
… Whether it's a first-round pick that the Lakers are pushing for or a young player who could be part of their cloudy future, the point of it all is that they want something besides the savings to hang their collective hat on. It's a staring contest in that regard: the Cavs are well aware that the financial factor looms largest for the Lakers, and the Lakers are banking on Cleveland not wanting to cut Bynum for nothing in return and realizing that Gasol on a team that entered the season with playoff expectations but is now 11-22 would be a huge boon.
VIDEO: Doc sounds off on trade rumors
No. 2: Rivers disses favorite sports network — So stupid. A non-story. And "that network." If anyone had any doubts about how L.A. Clippers coach Doc Rivers felt about speculation on ESPN's various outlets about a Carmelo Anthony-for-Blake Griffin trade, Rivers removed them prior to his team's game against the Spurs in San Antonio Saturday. In fact, while Rivers always is quick with the comic line about "Doc" merely being a nickname, he deftly performed a little-known surgical process, a rumorectomy, for the assembled media who were poking and prodding, as noted by Broderick Turner of the L.A. Times. Let's all remember, too, how Rivers reacted to comments by ESPN basketball guy Bill Simmons' analysis of the coach's departure ("quit on" was the pivotal phrase) from the Boston Celtics last summer:
Rivers said the Clippers aren't engaged in talks to trade Griffin for Anthony and aren't going to trade their All-Star power forward.
"My whole issue with any of that … is that that network to me reports a story that they created and then they do reports on it for the next two days, on a story that they created," Rivers said. "But it's stupid."
The ESPN report, which was attributed to unidentified league sources, said the Knicks have discussed proposing an Anthony-for-Griffin trade with the Clippers, and that Clippers management has discussed such a deal internally. But the report said the teams haven't spoken to each other about a possible trade.
With Chris Paul out three to five weeks because of a separated right shoulder he suffered Friday night at Dallas, Griffin becomes even more key for the Clippers.
Griffin leads the Clippers in scoring (22.1) and minutes played (36.6), and he is second in rebounding (10.6) and assists (3.1).
Griffin, 24, is in the first year of a five-year, $95-million contract that pays him $16.4 million this season.
Rivers said he didn't talk to Griffin about the ESPN report.
"I didn't say a word about it," said Rivers, who is also the Clippers' vice president of basketball operations and has the last word on trades. "I just thought it was such a non-story."
No. 3: Bucks' Sanders, Neal squabble in locker room — Bad things happen with bad teams, and based on the unseemly scene in the visitors' locker room in Phoenix late Saturday, you could probably guess without a glimpse at the standings that the Milwaukee Bucks (7-26) lug around the NBA's worst record. After a 116-100 loss at US Airways Center, Milwaukee's Larry Sanders and Gary Neal got into what the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel termed a "bitter argument," with Neal "going" where few in the fraternity of millionaire athletes dare to go: attacking Sanders' new contract extension (which doesn't even kick in till next season). "I earned my money. Why don't you try it?" Neal said postgame in earshot of reporters, after Sanders questioned his attitude. Anyone paying attention to the Bucks this season could make a case that no one there – from the front office down – has been earning his salary, based on the results. Sanders' notorious and YouTubed nightclub incident cost him 25 games with a hand injury, while Neal has underperformed and been criticized for selfish play since arriving as a free agent from San Antonio. Charles F. Gardner of the Journal Sentinel was there to chronicle some of the dreary ugliness:
It was the latest meltdown for a Bucks team that dropped to a 7-26 record as it lost for the second time in three games on its western swing.
And there were plenty of problems during the game as the Bucks committed a season-high 26 turnovers leading to 38 points by the Suns (20-12).
Bucks teammates did their best to downplay what was an ugly scene in the visitors' locker room.
"Oh no, we're good," Bucks guard O.J. Mayo said. "A little team bonding, that's all. A little kumbaya, man.
"It's all good. When things aren't going well, that's when the real men reveal their true colors. Are you a grinder? Are you going to roll your sleeves up and get it done?
"People handle it different ways. We're searching [for] 'what do we need to do to get it going.' "
SOME RANDOM HEADLINES: The downside of tanking (well, one more of the many downsides): Promising young players have to endure hard times. Pricey veterans often get shed by teams focused on the future, but a young desirable such as Philadelphia's Thaddeus Young winds up waiting for the 76ers' plan to kick into action. … Veteran big man Kurt Thomas would like to get back in, yet at age 41, even he is turning up his nose at his old team in New York. … We'll leave the digit jokes to you, but can report that Portland's Nicolas Batum has broken the middle finger on his non-shooting (left) hand. He might not miss any time. … Veteran Hedo Turkoglu, who has played just one more game than Derrick Rose since the end of the 2011-12 season, might be on the Lakers' radar. Turkoglu, 34, was waived Friday by Orlando, with the Magic saving half of his $12 million by shedding him now. Turkoglu reportedly is eschewing opportunities in Europe for a chance to stay in the NBA.

NORTHRIDGE, Calif. -
The Cal State Northridge Men's Soccer program and Athletic Department is saddened by the loss of former student-athlete Mustapha Sesay, who tragically passed away in a single-engine plane crash.
The incident was occurred on Wednesday, July 15, near Hawthorne Municipal Airport in Torrance. Also killed in the crash were Rajesh Vashdev, 40, of Manhattan Beach, and Jorge Avila Quinones, 45, of Downey in addition to the 38 year-old from Ladera Ranch.
"He was a great warrior, with a great heart. He will be missed," stated Marwan Ass'ad, Sesay's head coach during his two seasons on the Northridge Men's Soccer team.
Services are scheduled to take place this Sunday, July 19th at 1:15 p.m. at the Islamic Society of Orange County, with a burial taking place later on in the afternoon at the Westminster Memorial Park. Additional information pertaining to both locations can be obtained by clicking on the links provided.
Born in Freetown, Sierra Leone, Sesay was raised by his grandmother, Abie Kamara, before he migrated to the United States at the age of 15. Upon his arrival, he moved in with his aunt and uncle in Redondo Beach.
Sesay attended Mira Costa High School and earned three varsity letters as a forward on the school's soccer team. During his time on-campus, he earned First Team All-CIF honors as a junior, named the team's Most Valuable Player in 1989 and 1990, and earned Best Offensive Player honors in his senior season.
After receiving his diploma, he began competing at the collegiate level for Norm Jackson and his team at El Camino College, a two-year institution located in nearby Torrance.
During his two seasons, Sesay played as a forward during the 1990 season and finished his inaugural year with the Warriors with 33 points on 15 goals and three assists. After redshirting the 1991 season, he returned in his sophomore campaign and amasses 21 points on eight goals and five assists en route to a state championship.
It was then when Cal State Northridge head coach Marwan Ass'ad offered a scholarship to Sesay to join his team for the upcoming season. Also recruited by San Francisco State and the University of Bridgeport (Connecticut), the junior chose to attend Northridge because "it is a great school and I like the coach."
The 1993 season, Sesay's first at CSUN, was a successful one as he ended up being one of three Matadors named to the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation All-Pacific Division Honorable Mention squad as his efforts helped fuel a Matador offense responsible for earning 148 points in 21 matches.
"From day one he was tough as nails," stated former teammate and current Cal State Northridge Women's Soccer Head Coach Keith West. "He was a great teammate to play with."
Sesay was only able to compete in eight matches during his senior year, finishing with two points on one goal during the injury-shortened campaign.
"He was a phenomenal person," shared West. "Off the field he was the kindest person who would give you the shirt off of his back, but on the field, he would compete as if everything he had was on the line."
After his time at Northridge, Sesay begin pursuing a career in aviation. His ambitions became a reality when he became a pilot for America West Airlines before becoming a certified flight instructor.
He is survived by his wife Melissa, and his three daughters Halima (5), Zakia (3) and Amina (11 months).

Steve Franken, a veteran character actor whose long career included playing the spoiled young millionaire Chatsworth Osborne Jr. on the popular situation comedy "The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis" in the early 1960s, has died. He was 80.
Franken died of cancer Friday at a nursing and rehabilitation center in Canoga Park, said his wife, Jean.
In a more than 50-year career that began in New York, Franken appeared in scores of TV shows and several movies, including "The Party," "The Americanization of Emily," "The Missouri Breaks" and the Jerry Lewis comedies "Which Way to the Front?" and "Hardly Working."
But for many TV fans, Franken may be best remembered as Chatsworth Osborne Jr. on "The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis."
The series, which aired on CBS from 1959 to 1963, starred Dwayne Hickman in the title role of the girl-crazy grocer's son, whose beatnik friend, Maynard G. Krebs, was played by Bob Denver.
Franken joined the series in 1960, replacing the young actor who had played Milton Armitage, the show's original rich kid: Warren Beatty.
"Warren Beatty did about four or five shows and wanted to go do movies," Hickman told The Times on Thursday. "Once he had done that, he wasn't going to come back and do 'Dobie Gillis.' But because he was gone, we got Steve, and he was wonderful."
As the snobbish Chatsworth, "he wore clothes that were expensive, polo outfits and a polo stick and all that," said Hickman. "He was a great character. He was the only person to call me 'Dobie-do.' Chatsworth Osborne Jr. — what a great name. And, of course, everything was grand and he was so rich. Steve played it very well."
When Hickman appeared at an autograph show with Franken a few years ago, he said, "Steve told me people were still coming up to him on the street asking for his autograph and calling him Chatsworth."
But, Hickman said, Franken did many things in his career and was "a very serious actor."
Jean Franken said her husband was especially proud of his performance in director Blake Edwards' film "The Party," the 1968 comedy starring Peter Sellers, in which Franken played a drunken waiter who never speaks a word.
"He and Peter Sellers worked out most of the improvisations themselves for that," she said. "Blake let them go."
Franken was a versatile actor who studied at the Actors Studio in New York and later did a lot of theater work in Los Angeles, much of it dramatic.
Born in Queens, N.Y., on May 27, 1932, Franken graduated from Cornell University and launched his acting career against his parents' wishes.
"They wanted him to go to medical school, but he went straight to New York," his wife said. "He was obsessed with the idea of being an actor."
As chemotherapy gave him another eight months of life, she said, he continued to audition for TV and movie roles and do theater work until a month before he died.
In addition to Jean, his wife of 25 years, Franken is survived by their daughter, Anne; two daughters from a previous marriage that ended in divorce, Emily Franken and Abigail Glass; and two grandchildren.
A memorial service will be held at 2 p.m Sept. 22 at Theatre West, 3333 Cahuenga Blvd. West, Los Angeles.

ReleasesBack to
Grachan Moncur III
Takin' Off was an impressive debut effort from Herbie Hancock, and his second record, My Point of View, proved that it was no fluke. Hancock took two risks with the album -- his five original compositions covered more diverse stylistic ground than his debut, and he assembled a large septet for the sessions; the band features such stellar musicians as trumpeter Donald Byrd, tenor saxophonist Hank Mobley, drummer Tony Williams, guitarist Grant Green, bassist Chuck Israels, and trombonist Grachan Moncur III. It's a rare occasion that all seven musicians appear on the same track, which speaks well for the pianist's arranging capabilities. Hancock knows how to get the best out of his songs and musicians, which is one of the reasons why My Point of View is a captivating listen. The other is the sheer musicality of the record. Hard bop remains the foundation for Hancock's music, but he explores its limitations, finding its soulful side (the successful "Watermelon Man" rewrite "Blind Man, Blind Man"), its probing, adventurous leanings (the edgy "King Cobra"), and its ballad side. "The Pleasure Is Mine" is a lovely, simple ballad, while "A Tribute to Someone" takes the form to more challenging territory -- it's lyrical, but it takes chances. The closer "And What if I Don't" finds the band working a relaxed, bluesy groove that gives them opportunities to spin out rich, tasteful solos. It's a little more relaxed than Takin' Off, but in its own way My Point of View is nearly as stunning. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine

Mars Kicks Up the Dust as it Makes Closest Approach to Earth
NASA's Hubble Space Telescope snapped this picture of Mars on October 28, within a day of its closest approach to Earth on the night of October 29. The large regional dust storm appears as the brighter, redder cloudy region in the middle of the planet's disk. This storm, which measures 930 miles (1500 km) has been churning in the planet's equatorial regions for several weeks now, and it is likely responsible for the reddish, dusty haze and other dust clouds seen across this hemisphere of the planet. Hubble's Advanced Camera for Surveys High Resolution Imager took this image when the red planet was 43 million miles (69 million km) from Earth. Mars won't be this close again to Earth until 2018. Mars is now in its warmest months, closest to the Sun in its orbit, resulting in a smaller than normal south polar ice cap which has largely sublimated with the approaching summer.

raise your HAND if you think this is nutty
How the debacle looks to me:
Potential Etsy customer: "So, Etsy, I really love this item on your site - the seller says it's handmade but can I trust that is really is handmade (since it's on Etsy)?"
Etsy: "Well... that depends on what your definition of 'is' is"
*Sigh* I love you Etsy but I think you are heading down the wrong path here. You can choose whatever path you like of course - it's your journey - but I personally think you took a wrong turn. Just my opinion...

Hmmm maybe the shop does just barely fits the Etsy guidelines, but it sure as heck doesn't fit my idea of who should be selling on Etsy. Not even close.

I agree....makes it really hard for those of us that actually do make our own products. I am disappointed in Etsy.

Yep, I can't believe this situation not to mention the wedding fiasco that followed. Honestly I think the CEO's response was so much more upsetting than anything the seller did (Although that was pretty upsetting too!)
I'm saddened by these developments :(
