Musical Instruments – More on the Fiddling Moores
Do you play a musical instrument or did one of your family members? What instrument did you or they play? If no one in the family played an instrument, tell what is your favorite instrument or band and what is your least favorite one. The deadline for submissions is November 1st. This edition of the COG will be guest hosted by Janet Iles who authors the blog, Janet the Researcher.
With my usual terrible timing, I covered this subject previously and at some length in Fiddles and my Family (which dealt with the Moore family's passion for fiddle music and focused on my Uncle Howard Moore, who had a flourishing second career as a violin-maker) and in a follow-up article, I Was Wrong (written because I had found a picture of my Uncle Howard and Aunt Joy with fiddles made by him after claiming in the first article that there was none). I suppose then that I could entitle this post I Was Really Wrong, because among my mother's pictures and keepsakes I found two more newspaper articles on Howard and his fiddles, as well as his business card (above).
There is a bit of duplication among the articles, but one thing I really enjoyed about the two below was that they go into more detail about Uncle Howard's memories of his father (my grandfather) playing the fiddle.
The other thing that jumped out at me was the mention of the Violano Virtuoso that Uncle Howard owned. I had not thought of that for ages! This was a musical machine produced by the Mills Novelty Company between 1907 and 1930 that was something like a player piano, but in addition to the piano also had a mechanically played violin (or sometimes even two). These things are coin-operated, so Uncle Howard always kept a jar of nickels next to his. The tune I remembered it playing was "Over the Waves."
When I searched in YouTube, quite a few results came up. In one of the clips a Violano Virtuoso aficionado (try saying that three times really fast) explains what one of these contraptions is and mentions that there are currently … 15 known Violano Virtuosos in the world. I wonder if any of my cousins still has that Violano Virtuoso?
I couldn't find a clip with "Over the Waves," so I decided to post the clip of a Double (!) Violano Virtuoso playing "Dueling Banjos."
Below are transcripts of the articles. (If you have ever wondered what the difference between a fiddle and a violin is, you can read Uncle Howard's answer in the first article.)
"Violin Craftsman Visits Weiser, Lured by Beauty of the Fiddle," by Keitha Herrick. From The Weiser Signal, Thursday, June 22, 1967, Front Page; Weiser, Idaho.
"Each year, thousands of people are attracted to the Fiddle Festival in Weiser by the hypnotic strains of the music, by memories long cherished in their childhood or by the thrill and excitement of festival crowds. At least one couple, however, has come this year to view the beauty and craftsmanship of the fiddle itself.
They are Mr. and Mrs. Howard Moore of 1702 Island Ave., Wilmington, Calif.
Mr. Moore, professionally a longshoreman in the Los Angeles Harbor, is a master violin maker in his spare time. One of his violins won the grand champion award on tone, varnish, and workmanship at the 1964 contest of the International Association of Violin and Guitar Makers held in Arizona.
Born at Lancaster, Texas, Moore moved to California in 1935 and has worked as a longshoreman loading and unloading ships most of this time, but his hobby is making and restoring stringed instruments and his love for them shows in his attention to detail.
Mr. and Mrs. Moore are the happy owners of one of the few Violano Virtuoso (an old-fashioned Nickelodeon-type box with a violin in it) made between 1909 and 1929 and valued at $2500.
Moore makes his instruments out of fine wood. He owns one piece of maple which came from a top of a library table used in the White House during President James Madison's tenure in office. He plans to make a backing out of it.
He also owns a piece of topwood from a cathedral built in 1459 in Munich, Germany, for a violin and viol.
Moore had a ready answer when asked the difference between a fiddle and a violin. "A fiddle is carried in a sack and a violin is carried in a case," he said.
The Moores first attended the Fiddle Festival in 1964 and enjoyed the hospitality and fine fiddling so much they planned each year to return but something always interfered until this year.
They both wish to thank the good citizens of Weiser for making their stay so friendly and enjoyable.
During the festival they are residing at the Washington hotel. They are accompanied by Mrs. Thelma Matlock, who works with Mrs. Moore at Pacific Telephone."
Moore inspects back of violin ...
... then checks top for proper fit.
"Longshoreman By Day … Violin Maker By Night," by Ann Salisbury. From the Sunday Scene Magazine of the Daily Breeze, Sunday, January 3, 1971, p. F1.
"Howard Moore has a hard job and a soft heart.
He's a longshoreman who controls a power winch that swings tons of cargo from ship decks to the docks of Long Beach, Wilmington and San Pedro.
In his spare time he makes and repairs violins in his Wilmington home.
That may seem strange, but to Moore, "Violins are my life."
Moore, 61, became interested in violins as a child. During the 1920s he lived on a Texas farm.
'On the weekends we'd have country dances at people's houses. They'd move the furniture out, roll up the rugs and dance until 1 or 2 in the morning,' he said.
'The girls'd wear gingham dresses and there'd be corn whiskey and home brew and home-baked pies. My dad had a fiddle, and his brothers used to borrow it.
'I guess I loved violins even then because when they'd take the fiddle, I'd always tell them to be sure and bring it back.'
Moore says violins remind him of those days at home on the farm.
He was one of 11 children and there was a lot of work to be done, but everyone looked forward to Saturday nights when his father would take out the fiddle and play 'Turkey in the Straw,' 'Ragtime Annie,' 'Arkansas Traveler,' and 'Leather Britches.'
'My father kept his fiddle in a wooden case under the bed. We kids were forbidden to touch it. When he was away, I used to take it out and tune it by ear and try to play it.'
Moore has won more than 20 trophies with his violins, among which are first place and grand champion awards for workmanship, tone and varnish.
His violins sell from $300 to $600 and he has sold 30 of the 37 he has made.
'I can make a good violin in about 60 hours but it usually takes a long time because I'm kept busy repair old ones,' he said.
Moore did his first repair work when he was seven.
'One of my father's violin pegs broke, and I carved a new one from a buggy spoke. It was the only hard wood I could find,' he said.
Moore's eyes light up when he talks violins. "I've got a piece of maple for the back of a violin, and that maple came from a library table which was in the White House when James Madison was president,' he said.
'I may combine that with a top of some spruce wood that was once part of a cathedral built in 1459 in Munich, Germany.
Moore has a Stradivarius violin-back proportion chart on his workshop wall.
'But when I'm making a violin, I've found I get the best results with proportions I've figured out myself," he grinned.
'There are more than 72 parts to a violin, many of which must be sculpted and carved to perfection,' Moore said. 'But the most important is tone. It should be rich, round, and full with good carrying power.
'And a violin should have playability. Some violins have a bright tone, some are mellow, and some have a dark tone like what you hear in gypsy music.'
Until 10 years ago Moore had forgotten violins. He married at 18 and went to work in the oil fields.
'After that I got into the building trades and construction. In 1935 I came to the waterfront and started my longshoring, and all that time I'd forgotten them.
'But in 1960 my wife and I were rummaging through a garage for some trailer gear.
'I saw an old violin case hanging from a nail. I asked about it and … the family gave it to me.
'It wasn't in very good shape – it was almost falling apart, but it was a good violin. When I held it there and looked at it, I remembered hearing my dad those old fiddle tunes,' he said.
'I remembered the broken peg and the Texas hoe downs, and I knew I could restore it."
Thanks to these articles, I now even know some of the tunes that my grandfather played on his fiddle. I guess the timing of this Carnival of Genealogy wasn't so bad, after all.
Submitted for the 83rd Carnival of Genealogy.

What a great musical history your family has! Music was lacking in my childhood. It's a shame your uncle never felt he had his father's talent but his own talent of craftsmanship was amazing.ReplyDelete
I had never heard of a Violano Virtuoso before. Neat that he had one of his own.
I ADORE that quote! So simple, so elequent!ReplyDelete
Such a neat family history to have-you know I'm partial to music : ) I loved the articles-especially his quote about the difference. One of my girls is taking violin this year-I can't wait to share his words with her.ReplyDelete
Apple - Sometimes I have to catch myself when I am about to say that I didn't get much "cultural immersion" growing up. I did - it was in this music.ReplyDelete
Carol - Thanks - the Moore side of the family is kind of like that - few words but eloquent.
Tipper - I think my Uncle Howard would have been "tickled," as we say, to meet you and your family. Good luck to your daughter - I think she is studying one of the best instruments!
Great article. I live just a hop, skip and a jump from the National Oldtime Fiddler's Contest still held annually in Weiser but have never been. Maybe I'll have to look into that.....ReplyDelete
I envy those who can craft a violin. Wouldn't it be cool to be able to do that?ReplyDelete
Thanks for sharing yet another great article with us in the COG Greta!
Wow! What a musical family history! I love the title of the second article: "Longshoreman By Day...Violin Maker By Night" ~ 7 words and they say so much about Howard. Also the article mentioned him growing up and working on a farm, but having a fondness for the fiddle. It seems that his day job was just that, a job, and the violin was his passion! Thank you for sharing.ReplyDelete
What a great example of resourcefulness "making a violin peg from an old buggy spoke." Charming story of a man doing what he loves. Thanks for sharing.ReplyDelete

TALLAHASSEE � Most eyes will be focused on Florida State quarterback Jameis Winston on Monday night.
TALLAHASSEE � Most eyes will be focused on Florida State quarterback Jameis Winston on Monday night.
Don�t let that distract from all that�s going on around him.
FSU takes the field on Monday against the University of Pittsburgh at Heinz Field in both teams� season opener. The Atlantic Coast Conference game kicks off at 7 p.m. CDT and will be broadcast nationally on ESPN.
The Seminoles have a lot of work to do if they want to match the exploits of the offensive unit that took the field last year. FSU ranked 19th nationally in total offense in 2012, and the Seminoles likely will need to produce similar numbers this year to make another run at an ACC championship and a berth in the Bowl Championship Series.
Winston, the 6-foot-4, 225-pound wunderkind who was one of the premier recruits in the country two years ago, was a spread quarterback in high school and had one redshirt season to adjust to Coach Jimbo Fisher�s pro-style approach. Fisher will spread the field at times with four or five receivers, but he�s more likely to feature a power set in an I-formation or opt for a single-back formation with three wideouts and a tight end on the field.
In other words, Winston has a lot more to process now than he ever did in high school. He won�t line up in the shotgun formation on every play and have plenty of time to decide to run or throw. He is reading defenses in game action from under center for the first time in his playing career, and Fisher probably isn�t going to lean on his burgeoning superstar too much, particularly against the host Panthers.
Running backs Devonta Freeman and James Wilder Jr. are the keys to Fisher balancing his offense and taking pressure off his young quarterback. Fisher always has preferred to balance the pass and run aspects of his offense. Last season, the Seminoles carried the ball on 54.5 percent of their offensive plays. In 2011, that number was 53.2 percent, and in Fisher�s first season in 2010 it was 55.7 percent.
Freeman and Wilder Jr. are two very different running backs. Freeman is a little more fleet-footed and nimble at 5-9, 203 pounds, and Wilder Jr. is more of a physical presence out of the backfield at 6-2, 229 pounds. They combined for 1,295 yards and 19 touchdowns last fall, and those numbers could rise this year. Chris Thompson has moved on to the NFL, and true freshman Ryan Green is the third tailback on the depth chart with news coming out of Tallahassee on Thursday that Mario Pender is academically ineligible.
The news surrounding Pender results in FSU being a little thin on the depth chart at running back. That isn�t a problem at wide receiver, where FSU touts three starters with legitimate expectations of playing on Sundays. Junior Rashad Greene established himself as a No. 1 receiver with a team-high 57 catches for 741 yards and six touchdowns. Senior Kenny Shaw (6-0, 170) seems like a perfect fit as a slot receiver, and redshirt sophomore Kelvin Benjamin is a big, athletic target who could make a considerable leap forward in his development this year.
The group that ultimately may determine the offense�s success in 2013 is the offensive line, which is the most deep and experienced group Fisher has enjoyed at FSU. Center Bryan Stork, a fifth-year senior, anchors a line that averages a beefy 317 pounds and should keep Winston upright and open holes for FSU�s talented crop of tailbacks.

Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries biologists found an oiled Brown Pelican, Louisiana's official state bird, on the rocks along Bayou Rigaud, across from Sand Dollar Marina on Thursday, May 13. Biologists collected the pelican and brought it to veterinarians for rehabilitation.
The Brown Pelican is Louisiana's official state bird, only recently removed from the endangered species list on November 11, 2009.
Twenty birds in total have been delivered to Fort Jackson in Louisiana since the beginning of the oil spill, where they are cleaned and rehabilitated. Five of these birds were oiled and needed treatment and two have been cleaned and are being rehabilitated, including one brown pelican and one green heron. The Center has released two birds so far - one Northern Gannet and one Brown Pelican. Another bird is scheduled to be released today.

Smackdown 1941: Margaret, Mary, Sara, Patricia & Teresa
Behold the Supporting Actresses of 1941, two stalwart mothers, two helpless pawns, and one reckless diva. All but one of them, the diva and eventual winner, were in Best Picture nominees in this highly satisfying Oscar showdown.
Oscar had entered its teenage years by 1941, (14th annual Academy Awards) but it was still a green enough institution that all of its supporting actresses were first timers. Mary Astor, who won the Oscar, was the only star among the nominees and she was having a great year also starring in the noir classic The Maltese Falcon. Career momentum issues should never be underestimated with Oscar outcomes. Astor was joined in the shortlist by two sturdy character players in their 60s: the British stage actress Margaret Wycherley and the Irish screen actress Sara Allgood (who had been featured in some early Alfred Hitchcock movies). Rounding out the nominee list were two true finds making their charmed film debuts in the Best Picture nominee The Little Foxes, Patricia Collinge and Teresa Wright, the latter of whom was an instant darling in Hollywood and would win the Oscar the following year for Mrs Miniver. There's that momentum factor again.
Angelica Jade Bastien, Anne Marie, Nick Davis, Nathaniel R, Stinkylulu and You - we tabulate reader votes and quotes from your ballots appear!
Without further ado, the main event...
SARA ALLGOOD as "Mrs. Morgan" in How Green Was My Valley
Synopsis: A mother of six boys and one girl watches her family come apart over the ravages of coal mining on their once idyllic town
Stats: 62 yrs old. First and only nom. 36 minutes of screen time (or 30% of running time).
Angelica: Warmth, teary-eyed noble sense of self, and protectiveness indicative of a mother figure in a picture that displays the ways things were. There are brief, interesting flashes that give her character more weight but even then it isn't a performance I would care to revisit or even felt particularly moved by. ♥♥
Anne Marie: The Academy does love its long-suffering mothers. Allgood is appropriately fierce and folksy. Unfortunately, she's never given much to do. Her banter with the father is great and she does bring some humor, but at no point does Allgood play Mrs. Morgan as a believable three-dimensional character instead of Welsh window dressing. Allgood adds little to the film besides extra saccharine nostalgia-- something with which How Green Was My Valley already overflowed. ♥♥
Nathaniel: Her famous mother tiger speech with an elemental storm whipping up around her is actually the least of it. It's in the gestures and physicality that she transcends: leaning defeated against her doorway, a hilariously broad moment with socks and shoes, arms outstretched or swiping at her sons and husband, and two wrenching atypically still moments (involving gossip and a mining accident, respectively) when she's lost in worrying thought. It's silent film acting at its best and who needs the sound in How Green Was My Valley anyway? ♥♥♥♥
Nick: Allgood's fairly generic and physically typecast as the stalwart mother in Ford's mining-town memory-piece, winning her nomination by being one of few women in a male-driven frontrunner. Her big scene admonishing strikers who have ostracized her husband feels awkward and unmodulated. She's better with a late, blank-faced close-up before an empty elevator platform, but she's just delivering on directorial instructions. I see few of the subtleties an Anne Revere might have brought to this part ♥
Readers: "Essentially pretty thin but leaves a fond memory nonetheless. She's playing a cliche, and more or less playing into the cliche but she's adorable at it.." - Goran (reader avg: ♥♥♥¼)
StinkyLulu: Allgood's Mother Morgan feels like a collection of snapshots gathered in a scrapbook. Her declamatory zeal and stalwart spirit vividly animate this archetype in the instant (and in ways that reveal the actress's roots in the Irish theater). But her captivating constancy seems to lack the independently clarifying continuity necessary to cue a coherent characterization amongst the scattered, glancing episodes the film affords her. ♥♥
Actress earns 14¼ ❤s
MARY ASTOR as "Sandra Kovak" in The Great Lie
Synopsis: a famous concert pianist becomes pregnant with the child of another woman's man
Stats: 35 yrs old. First and only nomination. 47 minutes of screen time (or 43% of running time).
Angelica: Astor is a maelstrom of female desire. For the most part she is able to strike the right balance between the glamour, vulnerability and the surreal nature needed for women's pictures. Even better she looks like she's having fun while doing so. She especially does interesting things with her voice as she purrs, cracks, and devours her way through the film. ♥♥♥♥
Anne Marie: In a diva-off, Astor goes at Bette Davis with her well-manicured claws out and damn near walks away with the picture. Considering the film, that's not saying much. The Great Lie thrives on its leading ladies' explosive rivalry. Whenever they're apart, the seams in the melodrama begin to show. Astor throws shade like a pro, but she can't distract from a ridiculous film. A fun performance, but ultimately unworthy of an Oscar win. ♥♥♥
Nathaniel: The Great Lie requires more than a few scenes for acclimation - yes, you're watching a Bette Davis movie in which a chain-smoking love-to-hate-her diva drops death stares with quips and that woman is NOT Bette Davis. Astor struts around with such supreme entitlement that you absolutely believe that she thinks of Davis as her supporting actress. Astor's hot exclamatory moods and chilly threats reverberate in exactly the same way those huge chords she keeps dropping on the piano, do -- BOOM! Here's your drama, bitch. ♥♥♥♥
Nick: Astor plays her first scene as comedy; you can see The Palm Beach Story around the corner. Later, she reprises some cooped-up anguish from Red Dust, pitched even higher. She and Goulding let the tones in her performance veer a little broadly… but she's still typically entrancing. Her physical gestures, her implacable will, her acting of the character's own acting, her brilliant reading of the one-word line "Money": they all make her a worthy duet-partner with Davis, elevating the tawdry Great Lie into something special. ♥♥♥♥
Readers: "Glorious. Thanks to Mary's enormous skill rather than being offputting she's fascinating." - Joel (reader avg: ♥♥♥♥)
StinkyLulu: True, I never quite buy the character's supposed dissoluteness (and — with George Brent at the tip — this is one tepid love triangle). Even so, Mary Astor's arch, aristocratic vulnerability in the role of hard-partying, pampered recording artist is somehow genuinely compelling. But Astor's most enduring, most delicious accomplishment here? Being the femme formidable enough to bring out the stone butch we all knew lived deep inside Bette Davis. ♥♥♥♥
Actress earns 23 ❤s
PATRICIA COLLINGE as "Birdie Hubbard" in The Little Foxes
Synopsis: an alcoholic mistreated wife warns her beloved niece, who she worries will end up just like her, about the lack of love in her family
Stats: Then 49 yrs old. Film debut! First and only nod. 21 minutes of screen time (or 18% of running time).
Angelica: Bringing almost harsh buoyancy to the role. The most moving, powerful moments are when we see how utterly depressed she is at the lack of worth she carries in her family. In these solemn moments we can see how depression changes the architecture of her face, the slope of her shoulders, creates subtle changes in her voice. While she can't wrestle away the attention away from its lead she is an interesting counterpoint of older, southern femininity to Bette Davis's Regina. ♥♥♥♥
Anne Marie: Lillian Hellman wrote Birdie to be a symbol of the genteel South that was destroyed by Reconstruction. Patricia Collinge makes Birdie Hubbard into something more: a fragile, whole woman, layering constant fear with hopeful sweetness. Each time she's abused, Birdie crumbles a little further before shoring herself up behind a flimsy smile. Rather than fall into martyrdom, Collinge tempers Birdie's victimhood with the wisdom that Birdie's most pitiable pain comes from her desperation to be loved. ♥♥♥♥♥
Nathaniel: Whole scenes go by in which we only see her, if we see her at all, observing silently, dead still, from a corner; she's mere wallpaper to the vipers around her. The character's story may be over-explained in a final monologue (we got the gist from Collinge's work) but the actress wrings it for maximum anxious humanity and absolutely sells the depth of affection and alarm for her niece in two gorgeous face-dropping sequences. ♥♥♥♥
Nick: Birdie Hubbard, the "Aunt Fanny" of The Little Foxes, is less formidable than Agnes Moorehead in Ambersons but Collinge endows her with comparable charisma, making her loneliness and blather into something magnetic. Her tipsy showcase monologue discloses brutal self-awareness but not total self-awareness; she doesn't redeem Birdie's dissipation as a removable veil or unfair projection. Sad, funny, earnest, she safeguards the crucial "sym-" in "sympathetic" and communicates wonderfully in deep-focus backgrounds without pulling focus. ♥♥♥♥
Readers: "In an often icy film about reducing life to a financial transaction, Collinge makes her very humanity read as cumbersome baggage to her husband's success, profoundly earning her character's tragedy." -Sean D. (reader avg: ♥♥♥♥)
StinkyLulu: Collinge has such a clear handle on the character of Birdie Hubbard — perhaps the most tragic flibbertigibbet in all of American dramaturgy — that it's a shame that neither she nor Wyler seemed to quite figure out how to bring that clarity to camera. I remain convinced that Collinge is delivering a devastating performance; it just happens to be right outside of (or simply flattened by) Wyler's frame. ♥♥
Actress earns 23 ❤s
TERESA WRIGHT as "Alexandra Giddens" in The Little Foxes
Synopsis: A young woman tries to make sense of her family's shady dealings as her goodhearted father takes ill and a reporter comes courting
Stats: 23 yrs old. Film debut! First of three noms. 41 minutes of screen time (or 35% of running time).
Angelica: Even though I've seen this film several times one constant remains: how much this performance annoys me. In the beginning, she comes off as almost too naïve and wide-eyed. Her innocence isn't lovely but shrill. She gets more interesting shadings as she questions her mother. But still she brings little nuance or depth to a role of a young girl finding her sense of self in the shadow of a monstrous mother figure. ♥♥
Anne Marie: Someone has to be the soul of the film. Xandra spends a lot of time being lectured to, but Wright plays her as an active, empathetic listener. Even if she's heavy-handed with Xandra's more petty and childish side, her commitment justifies that dramatic turn in the last act. Wright would play a similar character in Shadow of a Doubt, and maturity would give her the ability to build a steadier character arc. ♥♥♥♥
Nathaniel: Teresa's brand of noble and naive earnestness, too pure to be completely undone by the hard truths she suddenly learns about a monstrous loved one only works for me in Shadow of a Doubt (1943) but I'm glad she had this arc to play for a dry run of that vastly improved star turn. But in this utterly amazing ensemble and this fine Oscar shortlist, she's the weak link, however capable she is at dramatizing true affection and dim awareness. ♥♥
Nick: By 1943's Shadow of a Doubt, Wright nailed her distinctive balance of sweetness and mettle. In The Little Foxes, she's just getting started. I'm not yet fully sold. My favorite moments involve her quizzical, slightly shamed response to her semi-suitor's excitement that she's finally defying her mother—as if she never perceived her own acquiescence. But she overdoes girlish naïveté in early scenes and could afford a smidge more power in later ones. ♥♥
Readers: "This year's theme seems to be that Bette Davis elevates all her costars' performances..." -Suzanne (reader avg: ♥♥⅓)
StinkyLulu: Teresa Wright is absolutely adequate as the young Alexandra, reliable and effective, playing childlike innocence as plausibly as she conveys early onset cynicism. Though her handling of Hellman's declamatory chatter might be less expert than the old pros surrounding her, Wright's vivid acuity delivers her best moments, especially as she "listens" and learns. ♥♥
Actress earns 14⅓ ❤s
MARGARET WYCHERLEY as "Mother York" in Sergeant York
Synopsis: A farm widow worries and prays for her wayward eldest as he tries to find his way in the world before leaving for war
Stats: 60 yrs old. First and only nom. 18 minutes screen time (or 13% of running time).
Angelica: There is a quiet presence and wisdom brought to the role. But at the same time even if she plays the role well she plays it exactly as expected. There is no interior life to the character so maybe I shouldn't be too surprised at how little of an impression she left on me. ♥♥
Anne Marie: Another fiery, folksy mother, this time the American model. Like Allgood, Wycherly doesn't get much to do except act noble, inspire nostalgia, and quote the Bible. Wycherly played a terrifying mother in White Heat, so she clearly had the ability to create vibrant characters, even if her limited screentime prevents her from doing so in Sergeant York. When playing poor-but-proud characters, there's a difference between "simple" and "simplistic." Unfortunately, Wycherly's Ma York is the latter. ♥
Nathaniel: The filmmaking does all the heavy-lifting, continually cueing up a reverent theme when Mother York enters a frame, but it rarely asks much of her once it's given Still and all, in a sea of broad ACTING caricatures and bizarre Tennessee accents, she manages a surprising amount of earth-worn toplands authenticity. And I love her lack of sentiment when eyeing her wayward son. ♥♥
Nick: A distinguished graduate from the Of Beulah Bondage school of supporting actressing, Wycherly brings a similar, rough-hewn, cabin-folks understatement to all her scenes—even a late reunion that could easily have gone lachrymose. Such consistency, clearly enforced by her director, speaks to both the performer's admirable resolve and the limited parameters of the role, as conceived and executed. Points for her distracted fingering of a wicker basket while defending her son from local judgment. Business! ♥♥
Readers: "Ma York may not say a lot, but still waters run deep, thanks to Wycherly." - Tom G. (reader avg: ♥♥)
StinkyLulu: At first, Margaret Wycherly's cadaverous clarity in the role of Sergeant York's mother freaked me out. (Was she the live model for the witch in Snow White or what?) Then I became fascinated by (and even fond of) Wycherly's "Country Crone" version of archetypal mother love. Sure, it's all penetrating gazes and impenetrably homespun homilies, but Wycherly's clarifying presence anchors this film's (and Cooper's) unexpected effectiveness, which is sorta what actressing at the edges is all about. ♥♥♥

Oscar chose Mary Astor, the most famous and accomplished of the nominees prior to 1941. The Smackdown panel loved her, too. But maybe we should have Bette Davis, 1941's good luck charm in this category, break the news to her.
Look at it this way, Mary. We already shared a man and a child... You have practice!
Mary Astor has to share the Smackdown win! In a shocker, despite five panelists and all reader ballots tabulated, we have to call it a draw.
The winners are Mary Astor & Patricia Collinge in a tie!
Thank you for attending!
If you enjoyed it, share it on facebook or twitter or other social media sites. Surely you have a friend who loves Old Hollywood! If you're new to the Smackdown we've revisited 1952's pie-throwing brawl, 1968's sinister sapphics, 1980's warm hugs, and 2003's messy histrionics. Previously over 30 Smackdowns were hosted @ StinkyLulu's old site.
Further Reading? If you'd like to dig deeper, here's the way these five characters are introduced, a tribute to How Green Was My Valley, and the Best Leading Actress (non-Oscared) from '41, twice over. Our panel also sounded off on other Supporting Actresses worth your time.
What's next for the Smackdown?
We've scheduled this whole summer in advance for your viewing pleasure. For June we'll be celebrating 1964 all month (consider it a 50th anniversary spectacular) so queue up a storied and interesting quintet of films: My Fair Lady, The Chalk Garden, The Night of the Iguana, Hush Hush Sweet Charlotte, and Zorba the Greek and join us by sending in your reader ranked votes and commenting on the '64 festivities. In addition to the Smackdown fiilms, we'll look at the James Bond film Goldfinger and possibly a few more titles to be determined.. Any requests?

The Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association's (AOPA) campaign to grow the number of flying clubs in the United States reached a new milestone recently when the 400th club joined AOPA's Flying Club Network.
AOPA has also just launched a new version of the online "Flying Club Finder," which allows individuals to find a club in their area.
A map-based interface shows details of 415 clubs in the AOPA Flying Club Network, plus another 133 clubs currently in the process of formation.
"We are especially pleased to see so many new flying clubs getting started," said Adam Smith, senior vice president of AOPA's Center to Advance the Pilot Community. "Clubs are a great way to build a stronger community in which more people earn pilot certificates, pilots are more active and the flying lifetime of pilots is extended."
AOPA established the Flying Club Network to share information and best-practices among clubs, and to give a stronger collective voice to flying clubs. AOPA is also working on programs to assist flying clubs with marketing, insurance, financing and legal support.
There is no charge to be a member of the Flying Club Network, which provides clubs a monthly newsletter, regular webinars, access to a dedicated help desk for flying club support and recognition in the new AOPA "Flying Club Finder" with a specially designed symbol.
AOPA's research has shown that many new pilots abandon flying due to the cost or the absence of a local flying community.
Both the Flying Club Network and club finder are AOPA initiatives aimed at keeping more pilots flying by making it more approachable, affordable and safer, officials note. Flying clubs allow members to share the costs of maintaining aircraft, significantly reducing the cost of flying. They also present new pilots with a strong community of fellow aviation enthusiasts.

Futsal Day at the UEFA Champions Festival
Friday 24 May 2013
Article summary
Futsal took priority on day two of the UEFA Champions Festival in London, with stars of the small-sided sport joining football aces as England's prowess was showcased.
Article top media content
Article body
Futsal took centre stage on the second day of the UEFA Champions Festival in London – despite inclement weather not usual for the indoor discipline.
A fast-paced game for which UEFA organises both national team and club competitions, futsal is growing in popularity in much of Europe, including England. And both current and future English internationals were on display at The International Quarter close to Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, as well as world stars of futsal and football.
Opening the day's festival proceedings were youth challenge games before Portuguese international Ricardinho and former Spain captain Javi Rodríguez – in their role as futsal ambassadors – joined England manager Pete Sturgess in a coaching session for Football Association (FA) centre of excellence talents.
Ricardinho, a 2010 UEFA Futsal Cup winner with former club SL Benfica, told UEFA.com: "It is a great day for futsal. Well done to UEFA for putting on this futsal day. We hope England will build an even stronger team in the future. There is great young talent here. England have everything in place to have a strong national team"
Sturgess's England side then took on FC Barcelona's Under-23s in a friendly. Despite pouring rain, each team showed their talents with Barcelona mastering the conditions in a 6-3 win.
"Part of me was thinking I'm glad we're not playing them on a futsal court because they were really tasty!" Sturgess said. "Their movement is something we can only dream about at the moment but it was a really good test for us. That is the kind of level we need to play at so it can become the norm for our players.
"Ricardinho and Javi were fully engaged with everything we were doing and, as ambassadors for everything we are trying to do for futsal in England, they were magnificent. It was great to work with the centre of excellence players because that is almost the first tier now that we are trying to put in place. The standard was really good."
Ricardinho and Javi returned to the pitch for an all-star challenge featuring Robert Pirès, Cafu, Giovanni van Bronckhost, Vítor Baía, actors James and Oliver Phelps from the Harry Potter films (who received a £50,000 cheque from UEFA on behalf of the Teenage Cancer Trust) and players from English champions Helvécia Futsal London.
Pirès said: "As a footballer I played five-a-side a lot because it is very good for technique, for fitness. So when I play with legends like Cafu today, it's good to be on the pitch to enjoy the football. It's very similar playing futsal and football, physically."
Saturday's action will run from 09.00–18.00 UK time, with the centrepiece being the Ultimate Champions Match in which UEFA Champions League legends go head-to-head in a five-a-side game.

Everyone wants to know what THE best video camera is on the market. Friends will sometimes ask me this question before making a purchase, "What video camera would you recommend?"
I'm flattered that they respect my opinion, but the answer is a little more complex than it used to be. Today there are an incredible amount of cameras out there – each with their own capabilities. I'm hesitant to say that one camera is BETTER than another camera, because I'm not quite sure that's the case.
Every camera is DIFFERENT. Each brings to the table something that makes it unique. Think of these different cameras simply as tools in a toolbox. Each one performs a specific function and each one is suited for a particular job. I feel the same way about cameras. They are simply tools that help you to tell a visual story. You should select a camera based on the type of story you want to tell and the style/look you want to achieve. For example:
- If you want your video to look a little raw and feel low-budget and home-made, select a camera, shooting format, and shooting style based on those parameters.
- If you will be shooting at a location with very low light levels, choose a camera that performs especially well in low light.
- If you want to achieve a rich, cinematic look with shallow depth-of-field, select a large-sensor camera with a fast lens (one that can open up to f2.5 or f1.8.
You get the idea.
Editing systems are now fully capable of importing video footage from different cameras (with differing frame rates, formats, and frame sizes) into the same project. So now, producers can mix and match their source footage into one video if need be.
The goal has always been to tell the best story. All you need is the right tool for the job.

Candy Cane Bread
- 5-1/2 to 6 cups all-purpose flour, divided
- 2 packages (1/4 ounce each) active dry yeast
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/4 cup butter
- 2 eggs
- 2 tablespoons grated orange peel

- 6 tablespoons butter, softened, divided
- 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 1-1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1-1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- In a large bowl, combine 2-1/2 cups flour, yeast and salt. In a small saucepan, heat the milk, sugar, water and butter until a thermometer reads 120°-130° (butter does not need to be melted). Pour into yeast mixture; add eggs and orange peel. Beat for 30 seconds, scraping bowl often. Beat on high for 3 minutes. Stir in cranberries and enough remaining flour to form a firm dough.

Irony punctuation
Irony punctuation
Irony punctuation is any proposed form of notation used to denote irony or sarcasm in text. Written English lacks a standard way to mark irony, and several forms of punctuation have been proposed. Among the oldest and most frequently attested are the percontation point proposed by English printer Henry Denham in the 1580s, and the irony mark, used by Marcellin Jobard and French poet Alcanter de Brahm during the 19th century. Both marks take the form of a reversed question mark, "⸮".
Irony punctuation is primarily used to indicate that a sentence should be understood at a second level. A bracketed exclamation point or question mark as well as scare quotes are also sometimes used to express irony or sarcasm.
Percontation point
The modern question mark (? U+003F) is descended from the "punctus interrogativus" (described as "a lightning flash, striking from right to left"),[1] but unlike the modern question mark, the punctus interrogativus may be contrasted with the punctus percontativus—the former marking questions that require an answer while the latter marks rhetorical questions.[2]
The percontation point (⸮), a reversed question mark later referred to as a rhetorical question mark, was proposed by Henry Denham in the 1580s and was used at the end of a question that does not require an answer—a rhetorical question. Its use died out in the 17th century.[3] This character can be represented using the reversed question mark (⸮) found in Unicode as U+2E2E; another character approximating it is the Arabic question mark (؟), U+061F.
Irony mark
In 1688, John Wilkins in his famous Essay Towards a Real Character and a Philosophical Language proposed using an inverted exclamation mark to punctuate ironic statements.[4] Marcellin Jobard, a Belgian newspaper publisher, introduced an irony mark in the shape of an oversize arrow head with small stem (rather like an ideogram of a Christmas Tree) in 1841. The next year he expanded his idea, suggesting the symbol could be used in various orientations (on its side, upside down, etc.) too as "a point of irritation, an indignation point, a point of hesitation."[5]
The irony point (⸮) (French: point d'ironie) was proposed by the French poet Alcanter de Brahm (alias Marcel Bernhardt) in his 1899 book L'ostensoir des ironies to indicate that a sentence should be understood at a second level (irony, sarcasm, etc.). It is illustrated by a glyph resembling but not identical to a small, elevated, backward-facing question mark.[2] The same mark was used earlier by Marcellin Jobard in an article dated June 11, 1841, and commented in an 1842 report.[7]
Hervé Bazin in his 1966 essay Plumons l'Oiseau ("Let's pluck the bird"), used the Greek letter psi with a dot below for the same purpose.[8] In the same work, the author proposed five other innovative punctuation marks: the "doubt point" (10px), "certitude point" (10px), "acclamation point" (10px), "authority point" (10px), and "love point" (15px).[9]
In March 2007, the Dutch foundation CPNB (Collectieve Propaganda van het Nederlandse Boek) presented another design of an irony mark (x16px).[10][11]
Reverse italics
Tom Driberg recommended that ironic statements should be printed in italics that lean the other way to conventional italics.[12]
Scare quotes
Scare quotes are a particular use of quotation marks. They are placed around a word or phrase to indicate that it is not used in the fashion that the writer would personally use it. In contrast to the nominal typographic purpose of quotation marks, the enclosed words are not necessarily quoted from another source. When read aloud, various techniques are used to convey the sense, such as prepending the addition of "so-called" or a similar word or phrase of disdain, using a sarcastic or mocking tone, or using air quotes, or any combination of the above.[citation needed]
Temherte slaqî
In certain Ethiopic languages, sarcasm and unreal phrases are indicated at the end of a sentence with a sarcasm mark called temherte slaqî or temherte slaq (U+00A1) ( ¡ ), a character that looks like the inverted exclamation point.[13]
Other typography
Rhetorical questions in some informal situations can use a bracketed question mark, e.g. "Oh, really[?]" — The equivalent for an ironic or sarcastic statement would be a bracketed exclamation mark, e.g. "Oh, really[!]". Subtitles, such as in Teletext, sometimes use an exclamation mark within brackets or parentheses to mark sarcasm.
It is common in online conversation among computer specialists to use a pseudo-HTML element:
</sarcasm>. The tag is often written only after the sarcasm so as to momentarily trick the reader before admitting the joke. Another example is bracketing text with the symbol for the element iron (
<Fe> and
</Fe>) to denote irony. Commonly used on social news-based sites is a single
/s, placed at the end of a comment to indicate a sarcastic tone for the preceding text. "Rolling eyes," ":>" and ":P" emoticons are often used as well, particularly in instant messaging, while a Twitter-style hashtag, #sarcasm, is also gaining currency[citation needed].
On Twitch.tv, users often use emotes to denote sarcastic messages, typically Kappa, depicting the face of former employee Josh "Kappa" DeSeno [14] with a smug look. This usage has spread to sites where the Kappa emote is not implemented.
A "SarcMark" symbol requiring custom computer font software was proposed in 2010.[15]
The sports blog Card Chronicle has a standardized means to show the preceding text is intended sarcastically: inserting a tilde (~) after the period at the end of the sentence.[16]

|Drug: naltrexone and bupropion SR
|Phase 2
A completed proof of concept study, OT-101 (Data on File, Orexigen Therapeutics, 2005), demonstrated that a combination of 300 mg bupropion SR and 50 mg naltrexone was associated with greater weight loss than bupropion SR alone, naltrexone alone, or placebo in subjects with uncomplicated obesity.
The hypothesis for the current trial is that by adjusting the doses and titration schedules of bupropion SR and naltrexone greater efficacy and improved tolerability can be achieved. In this trial, a higher dose of bupropion and 2 lower doses of naltrexone than utilized in the previous trial (OT-101) will be evaluated. The doses of both drugs will be titrated over 4 weeks and administered twice a day. There are 2 cohorts. At each site, cohort 2 recruitment began as soon as cohort 1 enrollment was completed. Cohort 1 treatment groups are (60 per group):
- Group 1: Bupropion SR (400 mg/day) plus Naltrexone (48 mg/day)
- Group 2: Bupropion SR (400 mg/day) plus Naltrexone (16 mg/day)
- Group 3: Bupropion SR (400 mg/day) plus N-Placebo
- Group 4: B-placebo plus Naltrexone (48 mg/day)
- Group 5: B-Placebo plus N-Placebo
Cohort treatment 2 Groups are:

FN-005 Pink (4oz)
Foundations glazes are available in a broad assortment of colors, opacities and textures. They easily serve as the basic "foundation" glaze for any ceramic studio - be that in a school, home or retail studio. Stock numbers that contain the prefix "FN-0XX" are opaque glazes, those with the prefix "FN-2XX" are Sheer (transparent and semi transparent glazes), while those that have the prefix "FN-3XX are Matte glaze.
Product Features and Attributes
- Non-toxic, non-hazardous and food safe
- Self Leveling Formula - glaze glides smoothly on bisque; no brush strokes will appear in the fired finish
- Steadfast Application - Foundations will not dissolve or "pick up" previous coats of glaze
- Stable, Non Moving Base - perfect for decorating upon, as with Majolica techniques
- Intermixable - new shades can be created by mixing Foundation glazes with each other
- Dries Quickly - speeds up your ability to handle or perform additional decorating
- High Gloss Finish - does not need to be clear glazed
Application Recommendations:
Shake for 5-6 seconds before use. Dispense glaze onto a palette (tile, plate, etc.) and apply with your brush or decorating accessory of choice (sponge, stamp, etc.).
Foundations Opaque glazes were designed to mature at a shelf cone 06 (999° C). When applying Foundations over a large surface area we recommend a broad, soft brush, such as a CB-604 #4 Soft Fan Brush. Try to get the brush fully saturated (loaded) and apply each coat in the same direction.
Make sure the glaze has dried thoroughly prior to firing. A medium ramp/firing rate is recommended (250°F per hour).

Introducing the "We're Listening" Blog Series: How Customers Are Helping Cisco Address Top Concerns
Welcome to the new "We're Listening" blog series! The goal of this blog series is to create a useful forum for you to learn about the ways Cisco is improving the experience for our customers and partners. And to this end, I hope you'll take the opportunity to tell us how we're doing.
Like all companies, Cisco isn't perfect. As Vice President of the Customer Assurance team at Cisco, I know this all too well. My team has responsibility for resolving the most critical customer issues across all functions and geographies, and we also own customer listening around Cisco services and support. Combine that with our responsibility for running Cisco's call centers, and you've got a team with a close ear to your feedback—the good and the bad. What we've heard from you is that there are some significant issues we need to fix.
The good news is that you give us valuable feedback about how we can improve. Every day, via social media, email, surveys, advisory boards, or phone calls, you provide the on-the-ground insight we need to understand the Cisco customer and partner experience. All of this feedback is captured and analyzed by our industry-leading Customer Listening Center, which is dedicated to "translating listening into action."
As a result, we know what we need to do to make Cisco simpler, more focused and easier to do business with, and we are moving forward with transformative measures to get us there. A key part of that process is ensuring that we close the loop, by letting you know how we're addressing the issues you raised.
In this new blog series, "We're Listening," I'll keep you up-to-date on what we're hearing and what we're doing in response. Each blog post will focus on a top area of your concern, and I'll invite experts from across the company to share their thoughts with us. You'll be able to locate an archive of all "We're Listening" posts by searching for the "We-Are-Listening" tag within The Platform blog.
So let's continue the conversation about how best to improve your experience with Cisco, while sharing steps we're already taking to make that happen.
Vice President, Technical Support
Cisco Systems
For any questions or comments on the "We're Listening" blog series, or to connect with any of the executive bloggers, please contact email@example.com.
In an effort to keep conversations fresh, Cisco Blogs closes comments after 60 days. Please visit the Cisco Blogs hub page for the latest content.
