LAS VEGAS - The Colorado Rapids kept their undefeated preseason rolling on Friday afternoon with a 2-0 win over UNLV, with second-half goals from Marvin Chavez and Vicente Sanchez making the difference.
SuperDraft selection John Berner kept a clean sheet for Colorado, who improved to 3-0 on the preseason ahead of Sunday's Las Vegas ProSoccer Challenge against Chivas USA.
In a scoreless first half, the Rapids held the bulk of possession but struggled to find the final pass to get behind the UNLV defense. A pair of solid chances fell to Chavez, who played on the right wing in the 4-2-3-1 formation, but both were blocked by the UNLV defense.
The best Colorado chance came to Gabriel Torres, who was played behind the defense by Samuel Galindo, but he couldn't get enough on his shot to challenge the keeper. It was the college team who actually had the better opportunities in the first half, taking advantage of Rapids turnovers and errors. Berner was forced into one exceptional save, making a point-blank stop in the 27th minute.
The second half started better for the Rapids, with the possession leading to more opportunities and corner kicks, and Colorado finally broke through in the 60th minute. A foul in the middle of the field won by Marlon Hairston gave the visitors a dangerous free kick, and Chavez stepped up and drilled a low, swerving shot that found its way untouched through a crowd and into the bottom corner.
Immediately after the goal, the Rapids made 10 substitutions, changing every field player. The second group set to work right away and totally controlled the final 30 minutes.
Dillon Serna, Vicente Sanchez, Charles Eloundou and Deshorn Brown were the front four, and the group combined for many opportunities, the best of which came in the 65th minute. Sanchez rounded the keeper and found Brown alone in front, but a great stop from a UNLV defender cleared the ball off the line. The Rapids got the rebound and kept it in, with Brown once again flicking it toward the net, but this time the UNLV keeper had recovered to tip it wide.
Colorado got its second goal in the 78th minute, when trialist Juan Guzman won a ball in midfield and quickly countered to a wide-open Sanchez, who scored low and with his left foot. The Rapids kept up the pressure and Brown was again denied spectacularly twice in the last six minutes of the match, with the Jamaican unlucky not to get on the scoresheet.
With the win, Colorado picked up its third victory in as many games, but will have its first match in front of a paid crowd this Sunday in the Las Vegas ProSoccer Challenge at 8pm MT. The match will not be streamed or broadcast, so updates will come via www.twitter.com/ColoradoRapids.

NEW YORK, Aug 9 (Reuters) - Philip Falcone's Harbinger Capital on Friday sued agricultural equipment maker Deere & Co and Global Positioning System companies and groups for damages of $1.9 billion as it looks to recoup its investment in bankrupt wireless company LightSquared.
The lawsuit's defendants, who include GPS companies Garmin International and Trimble Navigation Ltd, had opposed LightSquared's plans to build a wireless network because of concerns it would interfere with GPS systems, which are used in everything from farming to airline navigation.
Other defendants include industry groups the U.S. GPS Industry Council and the Coalition to Save Our GPS.
Harbinger, which has spent billions of dollars on LightSquared, said in a complaint filed on Friday that it never would have made the investments if the GPS industry had disclosed potential interference problems between the LightSquared spectrum and GPS equipment between 2002 and 2009.
The hedge fund accused the defendants of fraud and negligent misrepresentation among other allegations, saying the defendants "knew years ago" all the material facts on which they based their opposition to the LightSquared network.
Trimble general counsel Jim Kirkland said the company would defend itself against the lawsuit he said was without merit. He disputed a Harbinger's assertion that the interference resulted from a problem with the design of GPS devices.
"This interference resulted from the characteristics of LightSquared's new plan for use of satellite spectrum, not the design of GPS devices. The responsibility for Harbinger's losses rests squarely with Harbinger," Kirkland said in an email.
Deere declined to comment on the case. Garmin was not immediately available for comment.
Falcone, once one of the hedge fund industry's most powerful figures, risked the future of Harbinger on a 96 percent ownership of LightSquared, in a bet that it would be able to become a new competitor to the U.S. wireless market.
But LightSquared had to file for bankruptcy protection in May 2012 after the U.S. Federal Communications Commission revoked permission to build out a new high-speed wireless network after tests showed that its network would interfere with GPS systems.
Falcone has also had legal problems himself. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission last year charged Falcone with market manipulation and other violations. In July the SEC voted to reject a deal its enforcement division had struck with Falcone without explaining its decision.
Harbinger filed the lawsuit on Friday in the U.S. District Court in Manhattan. Garmin International is a subsidiary of Garmin Ltd.

It's a 1970s television staple: the scene at the end of an episode where somebody says something, and everybody laughs or deploys a cheesy grin. It just goes horribly wrong in this scene, where they're all chuckling about "pain wands."
This moment of sadistic weirdness comes from the end of an episode of the 1970s Logan's Run TV series. Our heroes have escaped from a group of lizard aliens, who were trying to dismantle their android friend Rem so that the aliens could repair their transmitter. But Logan and his friends destroy the aliens' gear and also lower the temperature so much, they go into a coma. As you can see in the clip above, the old guy who's been stuck there with the aliens says that he's going to lock them up while they're quiescent. But Logan suggests that now that the aliens can never repair their transmitter and leave the planet, they may want to live in peace.
And then the old guy says the thing about, "Especially now that I have their pain wands," and everybody starts chuckling at how funny that is. WTF Logan?

chronosafe necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 39 diseños de 7 diseñadores freelance.
My new iPhone app needs branding! I'm looking for a professional and creative "look and feel" for my application in the form of an inspired logo and a cool-looking icon for the Apple App Store. It's an automotive industry program that's aimed at a commercial and private-sector audience.
VIN Hunter (eventually http://www.vinhunter.com)
I'm looking for a logo and App Store icon for an iPhone app that I've developed. The name of the app is "VIN Hunter". The application allows the user to enter a car or trucks VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) and it will decode the vehicle's information. The application also allows you to assign an image and thumbnail to each vehicle, as well as tie in vehicle history information from CARFAX.
I need a logo that will convey a professional image since the largest market for the app will be members of the automotive industry (dealerships, auction houses, insurance adjusters). The icon needs to have an automotive element to it, though it doesn't need to solely be car-related. Bold sharp lines work best for what I have in mind but by all means be creative. The icon needs to be presented at a resolution of 512x512 and 57x57. Layered Photoshop PSDs is the required file format.
The logo needs to tie into the icon design. It should be horizontal in layout and work with either a light or dark background. I'd like to use the design on T-Shirts, business cards, and other promotional materials, so please keep the gradients to a minimum. The higher the resolution the better. Extra points for a vector-based product.
No stock images for either the logo or the icon; I'm looking for an original design to really make my app stand out. Previous experience with app store graphics is a big plus in my opinion.
The contest I'm running once I have an acceptable logo will be for a one-page site design focused around these elements. The winner will get first shot at this before it's offered as a contest.
- Clean "Apple"-style design
- Think "Branding", unique, stand-out
- Automotive theme
- Bold and distinctive colors
- Sharp and distinct lines
- Open to any color choice
- Horizontal layout for logo
- High resolution PSD or .AI
- Stock art - I want the ideas to come from you!
- Cartoony, generic designs
- Pastel colors. Think bold and masculine.
- Low-resolution images

The Rapids rounded off their week in Texas with a 3-0 win over Houston Baptist University on Thursday afternoon in a preseason scrimmage, courtesy of goals from Deshorn Brown, Dillon Serna and Samuel Galindo, and aided by a pair of assists from Albert Edward.
Sadly, the news was not all bright, as Cameroonian striker Charles Eloundou suffered a suspected sprained ankle after a collision in the early stages of the second half. He will undergo further examination on return to Denver.
By this stage, the Rapids were already a goal to the good. They took the lead after just 11 minutes, when Brown and Vicente Sánchez counter-attacked through the middle of the field, before the Jamaican forward finished from about 10 yards. It was Brown's second goal in as many preseason games.
Colorado kept the pressure high throughout the first half, with several good chances coming from Sánchez and Gabriel Torres, including a free kick from the Uruguayan which went just wide. Edson Buddle nearly got his first of the preseason just before halftime, but was called offside when in the clear. Houston Baptist had chances of their own in the opening period, including a close range header that was saved by Clint Irwin, featuring for the first time in a preseason game.
The Rapids dominated even more in the second half, with goalkeeper Joe Nasco having little to do during his time between the posts, though it took until the 68th minute for a second goal to materialize. A neat exchange involving draft pick Edward and Homegrown forward Serna paid dividends. Edward worked the ball up the sideline from his right back position and played it inside for Serna, who scored for his second of the preseason.
A third goal came just eight minutes later. Marvell Wynne, playing center back, took the ball on a 60-yard run through the heart of the field, eventually dishing wide to Edward. The youngster got to the byline and crossed the ball back into the middle, leaving trialist Galindo with a simple, close-range finish.
Colorado has now won both of its preseason games, starting with a 3-2 win against the Houston Dynamo on Sunday in addition to Thursday's result. The team's next match will come against UNLV in Las Vegas next week.
COL - Deshorn Brown (Vicente Sánchez) 12'
COL - Dillon Serna (Albert Edward) 68'
COL - Samuel Galindo (Albert Edward) 76'
Rapids lineup: Clint Irwin (Joe Nasco 46'), Tolani Ibikunle (Albert Edward 46'), Grant Van De Casteele (Marvell Wynne 46'), Drew Moor (Kory Kindle 46'), Chris Klute (Marc Burch 46'), Jared Watts (Juan Guzman 31'), Nick LaBrocca (Nathan Sturgis 31', Reuben Ayarna 63'), Vicente Sánchez (Dillon Serna 46'), Gabriel Torres (Kamani Hill 46'), Marvin Chavez (Charles Eloundou 46', Marlon Hairston 52'), Deshorn Brown (Edson Buddle 31', Samuel Galindo 63').

Hey Partridge People!!
40 years ago today (September 25), The Partridge Family premiered on ABC-TV at 8:30 PM!
I thought it would be fun to have a thread where we can all share our thoughts, recollections, etc.
Let's make this a fun thread!

Well, I shall look forward to reading everyone's recollections. Wow, 40 years, I cant believe it! I so wish they would bring out a special 40th edition box set, in region 2, I'm so disappointed (given up on the unreleased tracks). Only seasons 1 and 2 are available in Region 2 (UK) and I'd love to get copies of 3 and 4.
I've shown my kids clips (they're young adults now a boy and a girl). They love the retro feel of the show, they laughed at David's hair, well his early season 1 hair was ok according to them, (sorry David!) but liked all the characters overall and thought the show amusing. They reckon you could take Susan Dey out of the seventies and she wouldn't look out of place today. My daughter loved her clothes and dress style, in fact she resembles Susan a bit.
Looking back, I like the first season where they were 'on the road' the most.

BTW: Here's a great article by author Chris Epting on the 40th Anniversary:
Come On Get Happy! It's the Partridge Family's 40th Anniversary!
(Sept. 24) -- It was 40 years ago today, Shirley Partridge taught the band to play.
OK, so maybe it was Keith.
Either way, "The Partridge Family," a landmark show about a fictional singing group that produced a very real teen idol who, in turn, helped sell the records the group performed on the show, is 40 years old. It premiered back on Sept. 25, 1970, quickly turning David Cassidy, now 60, into a teenybopper sensation.
Today, the concept of singing stars living outside their TV shows as separate characters (see Miley Cyrus and the Jonas Brothers) seems obvious. But in 1970 it was still an extremely creative way to market music to the younger set.
A few years earlier, "The Monkees" had created a template for the formula, but "The Partridge Family" took it to all new heights.
Inspired by the real-life singing family group The Cowsills, producers originally thought about using the Cowsill kids in the show but opted for actors instead. And so, on Sept. 25, 1970, the world was formally introduced to Cassidy (Keith), Susan Dey (Laurie), Danny Bonaduce (Danny), Suzanne Crough (Tracy) and Jeremy Gelbwaks (Chris).
(After the first season, Gelbwaks, whose family moved away from California, would be replaced by Brian Forster.)
Shirley Jones, who played the mother of the five musically talented children and nervously drove the psychedelic bus, of course, was already a star on Broadway and in film. Dave Madden, who played the band's hapless manager, Reuben Kincaid, had recently been starring on the comedy TV show "Laugh-In."
The show broke new ground in several ways.
First, the concept of a single mom raising a litter of kids was still a relatively new idea for television.
Then, there was the novel premise of a mom raising kids on the road, as a touring band, aboard that iconic, Mondrian-inspired school bus.
And of course, unlike other shows on TV at that point, "The Partridge Family" was a built-in hit machine fueled by the good looks and bubble gum charm of Cassidy.
The "group's" first No. 1 hit single, "I Think I Love You," was released to coincide with the debut of the show. Only Cassidy and Jones sang on the song and were backed by several famed studio musicians including Hal Blaine and Louis Shelton.
Throughout the show's four-year run, many songs from the series owned the charts, and with good reason: The producers hired top-shelf songwriters, including Rupert Holmes ("Echo Valley 26809"), Wes Farrell and Gerry Goffin ("I'll Meet You Halfway") and Tony Romeo ("I Think I Love You," "It's One of Those Nights").
Then there were Tommy Boyce and Bobby Hart, Carole King, Barry Mann and Cynthia Well -- the list of pedigreed songwriters who added to the show goes on.
Today, the entire cast is still alive and well and, with the exception of Dey, had no problem taking the time to speak with AOL News about their memories of the show.
Dey, as has been widely covered, has never taken part in any "Partridge Family" extracurricular activities like talk-show panel reunions or autograph shows. Historically, she has refused to talk about the show, and since starring in "L.A. Law" for six years (ending in 1992), she has maintained a low-profile, if not invisible, existence.
"I don't get it," Bonaduce, today a popular morning man on WYSP radio in Philadelphia, told AOL News. "She had the best post-Partridge acting career of us all. It isn't like it hurt her or anything. Come on, Susan!"
Bonaduce, whose high-profile run-ins with the law, reality TV show and various celebrity boxing events kept him firmly in the public eye over the years, relishes his history as bassist Danny Partridge.
"I owe my life to that show," he said. "It wasn't like I was much of an actor. I was just sort of playing myself, a precocious, wisecracking kid. So I'm glad people still remember it fondly. And I got to hang out with David Cassidy!"
The self-effacing Bonaduce will reunite with his TV older brother on Oct. 23, playing bass for one song during one of Cassidy's Philadelphia-area concerts. (Cassidy issued the challenge recently while appearing on Bonaduce's radio show.)
Today, Cassidy, whose poster image was pinned up in thousands of teenage girls' bedrooms in the 1970s, tours in concert in America and worldwide -- and will return as a guest on Oprah's last season, taping Oct. 22.
He told AOL News that he never imagined the show would have the impact it continues to have. "When you're 19 years old and you're making a living as an actor and musician, you can't imagine the kind of success internationally, universally that we received.
"There was no video, there were no CD's or DVD's, so people sat in their living rooms watching the show every Friday night -- as a family -- and there was a much more immediate response. It catapulted me to having the largest fan club at that time in history, and the merchandising, which still continues, was unprecedented both financially and in terms of volume."
Cassidy also learned a hard lesson in how teen idols were bought, sold and traded back then.
"Although I was young at the time, I recognized how we made a mark on the entertainment and licensing industries. Actors, however, were not being compensated for any ancillary income, and we were being paid very little at the time.
"Because I was a minor legally when I first signed the contract, my manager and I were able to re-negotiate and, in doing so, I was able to set a precedent by being the first person to contractually receive royalties on merchandising and net profit sharing, which laid the foundation for everyone since.
"Of course, most of us share the same problem trying to collect the money due us. It's fascinating because I've just done an audit of Sony Entertainment for the last three years only and it showed I am owed millions of dollars for television and merchandising alone. Imagine what I'm due for the last 30 years! Now the fight begins to try to collect it."
The younger Partridges, Chris and Tracy, who rarely spoke on the show, are downright chatty about it 40 years later.
Gelbwaks, the original Chris Partridge, today is a management consultant in New Jersey. "The show was incrementally groundbreaking," he told AOL News. "To have that sort of rock and roll lifestyle, tame as it was, was a big idea. My best memories are working with some of the legendary actors they brought in, like Ray Bolger, who played the Scarecrow in 'The Wizard of Oz.' And of course, the drum lessons to make me look like I knew what I was doing were fun."
Gelbwaks remembers leaving the show after the first season, but when he entered his new school, the show was just going on the air, making him an instant pint-sized celebrity among his new classmates.
Forster, who replaced Gelbwaks as Chris for the final three seasons, also remembers the musical lessons. "Anything they could do to make us seem sort of authentic," he said with a laugh. Today, the racing car enthusiast and entrepreneur (and great-great-great-grandson of author Charles Dickens) says he hasn't seen the show for years but still enjoys taking part in the occasional get-together.
As does Crough, the triangle- and tambourine-playing youngest daughter, Tracy. Today, she lives outside Las Vegas with her family and stays in touch with several cast members. "It's easy today with e-mail, and that's a fun era to talk about. Mostly I remember Fridays because it was 'music day' when we'd tape the song of the week. That meant the heavy velvet costumes and more 'percussion' lessons for me."
Shirley Jones, who still performs, told AOL News she thinks the show will be best remembered "For presenting American TV with one of its first 'working mothers' and for producing a few teen idols. I think the pilot still stands out as the best episode of all and overall, I have nothing but warm memories of doing the show."
The affable Madden, who portrayed the band's manager, thinks the show did itself a disservice after the first season.
"Here you had this great concept," he told AOL News. "A family that traveled, performed, did exciting things -- and it was a hit! So what happens? Network execs get scared by success. Season two, they say the family has to stay home more. The kids have to go to school. It became more like a traditional sitcom. They started over-thinking it and took away the things that made it special. They made it too squeaky clean. One episode I said, 'Gee Danny, that's rotten.' Then they decided 'rotten' was too strong a word so they changed it to 'awful.' Think times have changed today?"
Madden also remembers being incredulous when the show was moved from Friday to Saturday night. "They had this great thing going. 'The Brady Bunch,' 'The Partridge Family,' 'The Odd Couple.' They owned the night. Then they moved us against 'All in the Family' on Saturdays, which killed us."
By the fourth season, in the face of shrinking ratings, the producers pulled out some typical stops, like bringing in a new cute kid named Ricky Segall ('The Brady Bunch' tried a similar move with Cousin Oliver) but to no avail.
On Aug. 31, 1974, the curtain came down on "The Partridge Family."
All of the cast members interviewed told AOL News that they'd be up for an episodic TV reunion should the opportunity arise, with a few caveats.
Cassidy said, "I would love to do something satirical that could be self-deprecating and humorous at the same time, but given the time in which we shot the show, and the climate of the world today, it would be hard to imagine replicating what we did then."
Madden thinks it would be "preposterous" and "impossible" but, if it happened, he'd entertain the idea.
All that would leave is Dey.
Madden says he's in almost daily contact with the reclusive actress, either by phone or e-mail (though out of respect for their friendship, he'll reveal no details except to say she's on the coast living with her family). So, to any enterprising producers reading this, should you want to try to make a "Partridge Family" reunion happen, take note that you'll obviously need to go through their longtime manager, Reuben Kincaid.

Thanks for that Scott. What I found interesting in that was the audit David performed with Sony...wonder if he'll ever see that money.
Maybe if Sony forks over David will reconsider the unreleased stuff.

Wish I had some TV time available on Saturday. But I did wear my c'mon get happy shirt and played PF CD's al day while running places in the car.
Happy Partridge Day,( beliated, )
Did get somet interesting comments when folks commented on my shirt and I reminded them that it was 40 years. Most folks do seem to remember fondly though, estp. David Cassidy.
Soctt, where can i get that poster, It's really neat.

The poster is something I designed a few months ago. At the time, there was a chance of getting a 40th reunion-type gathering at a local autograph show in Burbank, CA -- the same one that Shirley, Brian, Suzanne and Ricky have attended in the past. But, schedules prevented that from happening for the upcoming show. So, I have the samples left over that I had printed and I am trying to get some monies back. I put a few of them on eBay.
It's all in chronological order, contains all of the cast, LPs, memorable guest stars, and even the cartoon. I had fun working on it and was hoping to have them available for the cast to sign for fans that attended the show-that-isn't-happening. Oh well.

So where are all the recollections for the 40th?? I am so surprised that more people haven't chimed in. I mean -- come on people, it's the 40th anniversary??
I can remember sitting with a cassette recorder in front of the TV to record the songs that weren't on my first LP. I even recorded the episodes and would play them under my pillow as I went to sleep at night. :lol:
I can remember riding my bike down to the local convenience store to buy the trading cards, posters and magazines. Getting all of the cards was tough. I had so many duplicates -- and without all the cards, the puzzles on the backs of the cards weren't complete. :lol:
I remember putting the book jacket from Up To Date on my math book -- and taking it off almost immediately because by that time, the PF was so NOT cool if you were a guy. So off came the book jacket and on went a generic paper grocery store bag.

Ha, Scott, I did the same thing with my tape recorder! Pressing the microphone into the speaker of the TV set to get the best possible sound. Have to say, though, I didn't listen through my pillow. But I still have some of those cassettes.
Monday nights were always very exciting here in Canada. I remember watching the chicken episode at my friend Martin's house.
I boarded the bus sometime early in the first season but I did not watch from the beginning. So I did not see the pilot until the show went into syndication, at 5 p.m. weekdays on CBC (at dinner time, so I watched on the little TV that sat on a shelf in the kitchen -- it was the dawn of the portable TV set and our family of 5 had 6 TVs). I clearly remember finally seeing the pilot and being breathless with excitement, thinking it was some amazing long-lost episode -- the house was backwards! The theme song was different! David Cassidy wasn't singing!
Honestly, sometimes I still have dreams about coming across some never-before-seen episode or being in a used record store and finding an LP I never knew existed.

I remember how it was must-see TV back in the day. We always had to hurry to get our Friday baths and hair washing done before it came on.
(My dad worked late on Fridays in those days , so that was the day Mom picked for getting my Sister and I cleaned up for the weekend.)
You had to know what happened when we got to school on Monday
Up to date was the first stereo album that us kids had in the house and it got played constantly.
I remember also buying the 2 and 5th mystery novels through Scholastic book club and then picking up some of the others when shopping with my Aunt.
Read the Tiger Beat magazines while my Mom did her grocery shopping.
Wasn't allowed to buy much stuff as my parents weren't into collecting.
Obviously, I have changed that.
(Thanks Scott, for putting the poster on Ebay, it showed up on my regular search this AM and I promptly bought one

I recorded the songs with my cassette player too! Yep, placed the mike right up by the TV speaker!
It was a fun and exciting time. I really loved the Partridge Family back then. It was so exciting to listen to each new album for the first time! My Mom got me Tiger Beat, Fave!, Tiger Beat Spectacular and best of all Tiger Beat's Official Partridge Family Magazine when she could find it at the grocery store.
During the first season I had to wait until the reruns came on to watch the show because we had only one B&W TV set back then and my Mom's favorite show " Name of The Game" came on at the same time that The Partridge Family did. But we got another TV later and I could watch the show from the first episodes each season. I spent my money on getting the PF albums ( with my parents help!) so did not buy the trading cards. I did however get all 17 PF paperback novels!
It was a fun time, one that would not be repeated.

Jakey's holiday leather
Jake Gyllenhaal did not get to celebrate the long weekend with his fellow Americans for Memorial Day. Instead he was in Toronto shooting An Enemy with acclaimed Canadian director Denis Villeneuve. Something about doppelgangers; Jakey plays two different men. Does the other character not have a beard? Melanie Laurent is one of his wives. I would totally be down with a Jakey-Melanie hookup.
Anyway, as you can see, he looks great in his fitted leather jacket. I want him to wear it more often. Also, here's where Jakey gets his Mexican in Toronto. Sara from The Travel Presse reviewed it a few weeks ago and has declared it the best in the city. Click to see.

Editorial: by Michael Cummings – Editorial. Story Fairfax NZ News
OPINION: It's just as well that pornographer Steve Crow seems immune to public embarrassment, otherwise the sad and shambolic affair that was his Boobs on Bike parade and Erotica Expo in Palmerston North might have really stung.
Friday's parade – if it can be called that – resembled a bad Monty Python sketch, with Mr Crow scrambling to find some motorbikes ("I forgot to book the hog guys so we had to borrow some bikes"), delaying the scheduled start. When things finally got underway, one of the five bare-breasted women on show missed out on a lift from a black, menacing steed and had to instead settle for the back of a dainty pink scooter.
She probably felt silly (maybe even self-conscious?) until the convoy set off and she realised that there wasn't actually anyone lining the streets to catch a glimpse of her wares.
As the riders dodged the metaphorical tumbleweed and the women waved at bemused elderly men walking home with their groceries, the human indignity of a parade with no spectators was palpable. It was about as seductive as a sock puppet show at a church gala.
While ticket sales to the expo in the Barber Hall were still being tallied, Mr Crow didn't sound hopeful there would be enough public support to warrant a return to Palmerston North. With only a couple of dozen stalls this year – including one selling fudge and another promoting overseas holidays – it's a fairly safe bet the Erotica Expo won't be back any time soon. It's a curious change in fortune for the event, which had hundreds of people lining the streets for the parade and many more visiting the expo when it first came to Palmerston North in 2005.

BOSTON -- State officials reported Thursday that the Massachusetts Connector's revamped website passed its first test with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services "with flying colors," earning another month to work out remaining problems and prove that efforts to build a new state-based health exchange will be successful for the fall.
Maydad Cohen, the governor's point man for developing a new health insurance enrollment website, said another meeting with CMS will take place in early August when a final decision will be made on whether Massachusetts is on track to have a functioning exchange or should be forced to join the federal marketplace.
Cohen said the Connector is also now confident that the website, which is being developed by the Virginia-based hCentive and overseen by the IT vendor Optum, will allow for a single "front door" that will improve the consumer experience by allowing anyone eligible for Medicaid or a subsidized health plan to apply on the same website.
Previously, officials believed the site would not be ready by November to handle that volume of applicants, and planned to direct those determined to be Medicaid eligible to another website to enroll in MassHealth.
"We remain cautiously optimistic the hCentive project will be a in a good place," Cohen told the News Service.
The state was forced to develop this "dual track" strategy after the website designed by vendor CGI failed to function properly last fall, requiring the state to process thousands of applications for health insurance by hand and shift those who could not successfully enroll in new Affordable Care Act plans to temporary Medicaid coverage.
Through July, Connector staff and IT vendors on the project will continue to prepare for both possibilities, and Cohen said the state does not yet have an updated project cost beyond the initial $121 million estimate.
"We're going to manage it very carefully so we don't spend too much time or money on something that may not be necessary," Cohen said.
Cohen and his team met Monday in Washington D.C. with Marilyn Tavenner, administrator of the US Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, to demonstrate the progress made to date on developing the new hCentive-powered website and the functions scheduled to be operational before their next meeting, likely during the first week in August.
The software being used to determine program eligibility in Medicaid has so far been successful for 85 percent of test cases. While it is more accurate at 97 percent for individuals seeking to enroll, the system has encountered problems correctly determining eligibility when more complex family situations are introduced. Cohen said the CMS has not put an exact target number on the success rate for hCentive to get the green light in August, but programmers have already identified one fix that should clear up 50 percent of the failures, officials said.
Negotiations on a formal contract with Optum, which was brought on board in February to replace vendor CGI, continue, but Cohen said he expects for that process to be finalized by the time officials go to meet with CMS in August so a final budget and request for federal funding support can be made at that time.
In June, CMS approved $17.5 million for the state to put toward services delivered by Optum since February out of a total of $28.5 million owed the company. In addition to identifying $40 million in previous federal grants for the development of the state's exchange that can be applied to the new project, officials said they hope that some of the decisions made during the build out of the hCentive site will result in additional savings.
"I think our sincere hope is that the federal government will pay for the entire amount," Cohen said.
The federal government has allowed Massachusetts to continue to offer coverage through existing subsidized Commonwealth Care plans and a temporary Medicaid product through the end of the year. Secretary of Administration and Finance Secretary Glen Shor said the number of subscribers in temporary Medicaid coverage has grown to 237,000 and the state has paid out $138 million in claims before the federal 50 percent match.
Despite having not planned for the higher MassHealth enrollment, Shor said the administration expects the vast majority of those in temporary coverage to eventually be deemed eligible for either Medicaid or subsidized coverage, limiting the additional costs associated with the state's inability to permanently place them in a health plan last fall.
The federal government has agreed to retroactively pay the state the higher reimbursement rates allowed under the Affordable Care Act for any consumer ultimately placed in Medicaid.

Variable Temp Kettle Opinions?
So I need some suggestions/opinions on choosing a variable temperature kettle. Right now I heat water in a pan on the stove with a candy thermometer stuck in it, which kills my time. So I figured I'd look for a kettle. One that lets me set what temp I need for different teas is pretty much all I need since I'm not really sure what else would be useful on one. Lol.
I've gotten it narrowed down to either the Oster 1.7 L Variable Temperature Electric Kettle ($30), a Hamilton Beach Programmable Electric Kettle ($44), & the UtiliTEA from Adagio ($45). I also was considering the Pino Digital Kettle Pro ($78), but it's double what these other three cost since I could only get it on ebay, so I'm hesitant at putting that on the list.
I've checked reviews on different sites and tried to find as many comments as I could about these. They all have both good and bad reviews so I just wanted to see if anyone here has owned any of these or currently use them and what your opinions of them are. Or if I should just ignore these completely and try something else. I'm up for any suggestions.
Thanks for the help.
-Also, I know there's already a couple topics made about these sorts of kettles up, but I wanted to ask about specific kettles so I figured it was alright to start a new topic. If it isn't, please let me know. Thanks.
I own the Adagio UtiliTEA and I am pretty happy with it, but as I have become more into tea I dislike that I only sorta-kinda know what temperature my tea is brewing at. Of the three you listed I would go for the Hamilton Beach… my next electric kettle will definitely have the ability to program whatever temp I want to within a degree, but 5 degree (what that kettle has) would be fine too.
I was just going to make the exact same comment about the Adagio UtiliTea. I got it at the very beginning of my tea addiction. It works as advertised…I just am now looking for more specific control! I wont buy another kettle unless this one breaks or I bring it to work but as Dinosara says, next time I will want more explicit programs. If you don't think that will bother you it does the job well, does not leak, and is fairly attractive sitting on the counter.
Yup, and FYI this is my dream kettle that I will get someday: http://amzn.com/B005YR0F40
But I admit the Hamilton Beach has a lot of the same features for cheaper!
I agree, the variable temperature feature of the Bonavita kettle would be ideal for tea. Most of the better electric kettles only give you a choice of 4 to 6 temperature choices.
Have you had a chance to check out the reviews? About 12% were less than fully satisfied. http://www.amazon.com/Bonavita-Variable-Temperature-Electric-Gooseneck/product-reviews/B005YR0F40/ref=dp_top_cm_cr_acr_txt?ie=UTF8&showViewpoints=1
I have the Hamilton Beach kettle and I love it! I originally went with the Hamilton Beach because it was the most affordable variable temperature kettle that had the features I was looking for. I couldn't justify spending $100+ on a kettle.
There is a slight issue with the temperature controlled shutoff when the kettle is less than about half full. I've noticed that if I set the kettle to 180, it might actually end up as high 190 after it goes to "warming" setting. The display still shows 180 until you actually turn off the kettle and then it will display the actual temperature inside. I think this happens because the kettle must have a timer that it uses when decided how long to heat up the water. I generally just wait a minute or two until temperature cools down a little, but you could probably avoid this by setting the desired temperature 5-10 degrees lower.
I wanted to give an update on my kettle in case anyone is reading through this thread with the intention of buying a new variable temp kettle.
I purchased my kettle 12/17/12 from Best Buy and the heating element died on 12/10/13. I called Hamilton Beach today and they are sending me a new one free of charge. I do, however, have to cover the cost of shipping which is $14 to my zip code. Right now the cheapest electric (non variable temp) kettle in Wal-Mart is also $14, so I'm not really bothered by spending the money. If I wanted to replace my kettle on Amazon it would cost $41.
The customer service agent was very helpful and the phone call only took about 5 minutes. (I can't remember the last time I called an 800 number and didn't sit on hold for a least 10 minutes!) They required me to cut the electric cord and send them a photo to prove that I can no longer use the old kettle. Turns out electric cords are surprisingly easy to cut with a cheap pair of kids' scissors.
The Oster one is only $30? This one?! <http://www.thebay.com/eng/home-smallappliances-kettles-1_7L_Variable_Temp_Kettle-thebay/198885> D: I might have to make a trip to the States…
I use this one from kohls http://www.kohls.com/product/prd-903282/cuisinart-perfectemp-cordless-electric-kettle.jsp and it works wonders.
I picked it up for around $50 with coupons/sales. I haven't had any troubles with it, the temp is always where it should be, and it has a stay warm feature which I think is really nice to have.
If you can wait, I would look into this one because it is a $150 kettle that you can easily get for 1/3 of the price.
I adore this model, too. I dragged my heels on investing this much money in a kettle, but it was well worth it! Sur la Table and Bed Bath & Beyond carry it for only $99.
Boosh – That one looks hard core. Lol. And way more expensive than I want to spend at this moment.
I decided to go with the Hamilton Beach. Ordered it from Walmart 'cause then I have an option of returning it easier than if I'd gotten it online somewhere. Just waiting for it to be shipped to the store to pick it up. Kinda silly but I'm pretty excited about it. Lol.
Definitely. It's a wonderful kettle. The only issue I have is that when I set a temp, what I usually get is at least 5 degrees above what I've set. Then after 5 or 10 min, it's cooled down to the temp I set it at and holds there pretty well.
So I either set it below want I want if I want tea now, or set it to the actual temp and come back later.
I picked up the Hamilton Beach at Walmart for $40. So far I am very happy with it. Feels solid.
Nice. That's what I paid for mine. And I love it. But like I said above, make sure you check the temps because mine runs hotter than the set temp when I first turn it on and start it up. I would think it's all of the kettles they sell since I've heard others saying the same thing, but definitely check. ^^
I usually boil the water and then decant in a samashi or other mug.
the first times i measure the drop of temperature so i know for future reference.
That way you will get perfect temperature every time.
Another technique you can use if you boil water on a stove is to look at the size of the bubbles.
Annoying dawback of the Oster, in my opinion: any time you press a button on it, it emits a shrill, loud beep, ensuring that if multiple live in your house and they aren't awake at the same time, they will be.
Probably not the response yu are looking for, but a very honest one.
I am somehow new to loose leaf teas, only been enjoying them for the past six months or so. Went the boling water / boiling water plus thermometer / low end temp kettle… and now, a Breville!
What a difference it has made on my tea enjoyment! Some teas I did not cared much for now taste fantastic, just because I am brewing them the right way. All my teas are done "western" style, I haven't learned yet the Gaiwan methods, but for now, my Breville rocks.
I know there is a $240 model that will do everything, I don't own that one. I have the simple, $130 model, ( http://www.brevilleusa.com/variable-temperature-kettle.html ) and while I do understand that this is more than what you want to spend now, my advise is not to buy anything else, save a little and then go for this one.
It is a really, really good piece of hardware, you wont regret it, and your tastebuds will thank you for it!
(UPDATE – Reading all of the thread I know you already brought one. Leaving my answer here just in case there is someone else considering buying one. Cheers, enjoy your tea!)
Thanks for leaving this comment! I'm looking into getting a new kettle, and would rather shell out for a great one than have to go through a few not-so-great ones. 7 months after posting this, do you still think it's great?
Right now I'm debating between your recommendation and the Bonavita.

This decision of the Illinois Supreme Court defines the concept of due diligence in notifying a parent that there is a case where they can lose parental rights. Attempts at service by mail or personal service is NOT enough!
Supreme Court Summaries
Opinions filed October 27, 2011
In re Dar. C., 2011 IL 111083
Appellate citation: No. 4-10-0267 (unpublished order under Supreme Court Rule 23).
CHIEF JUSTICE KILBRIDE delivered the judgment of the court, with opinion.
Justices Thomas, Garman, and Karmeier concurred in the judgment and opinion.
Justice Burke specially concurred, with opinion, joined by Justice Freeman.
Justice Theis specially concurred, with opinion.
In this McLean County case, a father whose parental rights had been terminated on March 7, 2008, challenged that result for lack of personal jurisdiction. Under the Code of Civil Procedure, he filed a petition for relief from that judgment, claiming that, under the Juvenile Court Act of 1987, it was improper to serve him only by publication in Bloomington after attempts at personal service or service by certified mail were unsuccessful. Statute requires a "diligent inquiry" before a parent may be served by publication. The failed attempts had been based on potential addresses obtained through the use of computerized database searches. The State simply mailed letters but made no visits to the addresses to seek further information. The appellate court affirmed the termination order.
The termination took place in proceedings that began pursuant to 2006 charges that the respondent father's two minor children, who were living with their mother, were neglected. It was known that the mother was receiving Social Security benefits, but no effort was made to determine their source or to obtain a release of Social Security information. Later that same year, a separate proceeding to collect child support from the father was initiated by a different attorney in the same prosecutor's office, with the complaint being signed by a caseworker in the termination proceeding. In the collection matter, the father's birth date, Social Security number and physical description were listed. The State indicated that it had located the respondent at a treatment center in Lake County and obtained his consent for entry of a child support order using the funds from his social security disability benefits.
In this decision, the supreme court said that "the State's ability to obtain respondent's contact information in the separate child support action casts significant doubt on the diligence of the State's inquiry into respondent's location in the termination proceedings" and that "relying on a computerized database search of a parent's name while ignoring, or otherwise not investigating, other potentially useful information, does not constitute a diligent inquiry." These circumstances indicate that there was a lack of personal jurisdiction over the father in attempting to serve him by publication on these facts. The appellate court was reversed and the termination of the father's rights concerning his children was vacated as void. The cause was remanded to the circuit court for further proceedings.

Government agencies do not often acknowledge their own errors, but the CIA has done just that with the declassification of intelligence memoranda on the 1973 Arab-Israeli War.
The documents show that agency analysts, down to the last minute before the outbreak of fighting, were assuring President Nixon, Secretary of State Henry Kissinger and other policymakers that Egypt and Syria were unlikely to attack Israel.
Those assessments, in the words of a CIA postmortem report from December 1973, "were — quite simply, obviously, and starkly — wrong." Nearly 40 years later, the CIA analysts responsible for those judgments say they are still troubled by their mistakes.
The declassified CIA documents, released during a conference last week at the Nixon Library in Yorba Linda, Calif., show that agency analysts had abundant signs that Egypt and Syria were preparing to attack Israel, but disregarded the evidence, considering the war scenario too implausible.
Egypt, Syria Position Forces
By early October 1973, Egyptian President Anwar Sadat had positioned forces along the banks of the Suez Canal, across from the Israeli-occupied Sinai Peninsula.
In Syria, President Hafez Assad had sent several army divisions to the border of the occupied Golan Heights, overlooking northern Israel. A human intelligence source in Syria passed what he said was a detailed Syrian war plan to the CIA, indicating how the invasion of Israel would proceed.
Secretary of State Henry Kissinger wanted to know whether the CIA believed the Syrian source. The assignment to evaluate the Syrian's report fell to Richard Kovar, the agency's top Middle East analyst.
"The [CIA Operations Center] called me, and I came in," Kovar recounted in an interview recently with NPR. "I got together with the Office of Strategic Research analyst, and we worked out a very formal response, saying why we didn't think [a Syrian invasion of Israel] was possible. That was my call."
Kovar drafted the memorandum for Kissinger and other State Department officials, confidently and without hesitation.
"I have to tell you," Kovar said, "my hand didn't tremble."
In the memorandum, Kovar and his fellow analysts argued that a Syrian attempt to retake the Golan Heights "has no hope of success. The defeat and destruction of the forces earmarked for the operation would cripple the Syrian Army and would have profound consequences for the cautious and pragmatic President [Assad]."
Failing To Foresee War
That memo is one of several CIA documents on the Arab-Israeli War declassified by the agency and discussed at the conference at the Nixon Library. In addition to Kovar, other former CIA analysts candidly acknowledged their failure to foresee the outbreak of hostilities in October 1973.
"In retrospect, I don't know why we didn't give more warning," said Charles Allen, who participated in the writing of an Oct. 4 report by the United States Intelligence Board. "We continue to believe that an outbreak of major Arab-Israeli hostilities remains unlikely for the immediate future," the report stated.
A day later, Allen and his CIA colleagues were even more outspoken, in a bulletin focusing on the Egyptian military buildup along the Suez Canal.
"Our lead sentence," Allen pointed out in his remarks at the Nixon Library, "will live forever in my mind" — and he proceeded to read it aloud.
"The exercise and alert activities under way in Egypt may be on a somewhat larger scale and more realistic than previous exercises, but they do not appear to be preparations for a military offensive against Israel," Allen said.
The Egyptian move across the Suez Canal came just a few hours later. The CIA was not alone in its failure to anticipate the Arab attack. The Israelis had also been insisting that there would be no war, even when U.S. officials laid out reasons for concern. In his comments at the Nixon Library conference, Allen said Israeli "hubris" may have influenced U.S. thinking.
"Despite the worries we had in Washington, the vigor with which the Israeli intelligence services responded [to U.S. queries], I think, had a tremendous effect on agency assessments," Allen said.
Miscalculations By Israel
The Israelis and the CIA were both wrong.
Early on Oct. 6, 1973, Egyptian troops crossed the Suez Canal and drove deep into territory held by Israel. The Syrian army charged into the Golan Heights. In Washington, neither Nixon nor Kissinger had seen any reason to question the CIA and Israeli judgments.
"We couldn't imagine that something like this would happen," said William Quandt, who served as a Middle East specialist on President Nixon's national security staff and recalled the 1973 events during the Nixon Library conference.
"We had developed a way of looking at this region that was largely forged in ... the 1967 war, which the Israelis had won hands down," Quandt noted.
That war "left an impression that they were amazingly competent and that the Arabs were feckless and totally incompetent," Quandt said. "It had left the impression that the Arabs can't do anything militarily to reverse this, and that the key to stability in the Middle East — and this was certainly Kissinger's view — is to keep Israel strong, and deterrence will work."
In fact, the Egyptian and Syrian armies had some impressive victories before the Israelis drove them back. Both sides suffered heavy casualties. In the war's aftermath, Arab states imposed an oil boycott on the West.
Predicting The Middle East
Anticipating developments in the Middle East — and understanding their implications — has long been a challenge for U.S. analysts. It still is, as evidenced by confusion about the meaning of the Arab Spring uprisings and uncertainty over what to do regarding the conflict in Syria. Moreover, the cost of getting the region wrong is high.
Martha Kessler learned that lesson as a young CIA officer in 1973, observing the events that October.
"It was a haunting experience," Kessler told the Nixon Library conference. "I was still in my mid-20s, and I watched this thing unfold. The consequences of what had happened really had a huge impact on me, and I spent a good deal of time with my parents discussing whether I really wanted to stay in a profession where a mistake had such huge consequences."
Probably no CIA analyst, however, was more pained by the 1973 intelligence failure than Richard Kovar, the agency's top Middle East expert. Now 81, he still gets choked up remembering that he made the wrong call.
"It was the lowest point, certainly in my whole career, and maybe in my whole life," Kovar told NPR. "I had never even heard a shot fired in anger, and here were these young soldiers dying, because of what I had ..."
Kovar did not finish the sentence, knowing that his errant intelligence judgment did not really lead to the soldiers' deaths, but the burden he still carries is clear.
"Just the night before, I had said there wasn't anything to worry about, and these soldiers were dying," he said.
Intelligence officers may be dispassionate, but that doesn't mean they don't feel responsible for what they say. The CIA quickly swung into action once the Arab-Israeli fighting began. But an agency historian, commenting on this declassification, noted that the 1973 war turned out to be "one of a series of events that cost the agency great regard in Washington [during] a tumultuous period."
Forty years ago, in October 1973, the United States was caught off-guard when Egypt and Syria attacked Israel. The Arab-Israeli War was an embarrassment for the CIA. Until the last minute, it was telling policymakers that war was unlikely. The agency recently declassified documents that highlight its failures at the time.
NPR's Tom Gjelten spoke with the analyst at the center of those failures and has this report.
TOM GJELTEN, BYLINE: In hindsight, the evidence of imminent war that October looks overwhelming. Egypt was massing forces along the Suez Canal, across from the Israeli-occupied Sinai Peninsula. A source in Syria passed word that Syrian tanks were set to move on the Golan Heights.
Secretary of State Henry Kissinger wanted to know whether the CIA believed the Syrian source. Richard Kovar, then the agency's top Middle East analyst, was not convinced.
RICHARD KOVAR: The Ops Center called me. I came in. And we worked out a very formal response. President Assad, the president of Syria, just wasn't going to commit national suicide.
GJELTEN: Invading Israel would be suicide for Syria, Kovar argued, because the Israeli response would be devastating. He drafted a memo for Kissinger: Not to worry.
KOVAR: And I have to tell you, my hand didn't tremble.
GJELTEN: That memo is one of several documents released last week at the Nixon Library in California. Charlie Allen, another top CIA analyst at the time, recalled writing a bulletin the night of October 5th, just hours before Egyptian troops attacked.
CHARLIE ALLEN: Our lead sentence for the current intelligence bulletin, which will live forever in my mind, stated as follows: The exercise and the activities underway in Egypt may be on a somewhat larger scale and more realistic than previous exercises; but they do not appear to be preparations for a military offensive against Israel.
GJELTEN: The CIA was wrong. So were the Israelis, who had insisted the Arab armies would not dare attack. Egyptian troops crossed the Suez Canal and drove deep into Israeli-held territory. In the north, Syria attacked the Golan Heights.
UNIDENTIFIED MAN: Syrian planes spent at three hours this morning bombarding the Israeli troop concentrations and military bases in the Golan Heights...
GJELTEN: The former CIA analysts attribute their intelligence failure to a lack of imagination. They gave too much weight to Israeli assurances that there'd be no war. The United States had seen the quick Israeli victory in the Six-Day War of 1967, and assumed the Arabs wouldn't be foolish enough to attack Israel again. But they did and scored some impressive victories before the Israelis drove them back. Both sides suffered heavy casualties. In the war's aftermath, Arab states imposed an oil boycott on the West.
Anticipating developments in the Middle East and understanding their implications has long been hard for U.S. analysts. It still is, witness the Arab Spring and the conflict in Syria. And the cost of getting the region wrong is high, something Martha Kessler learned as a young CIA officer observing the 1973 events.
MARTHA KESSLER: It was a haunting experience. I was still in my mid-20's and I watched this thing unfold. And the consequences of what had happened really had a huge impact on me. And I spent a good deal of time with my parents discussing, whether I really wanted to stay in a profession where a mistake had such huge consequences.
GJELTEN: But no one was pained more by that 1973 intelligence failure than Richard Kovar, the Middle East analyst. Now 81, he still gets choked up remembering that he made the wrong call.
KOVAR: It was the lowest point, certainly, in my whole career and maybe my whole life. Here were these young soldiers dying because of what I had - just the night before, I had said there wasn't anything to worry about. And these soldiers were dying.
GJELTEN: Intelligence officers may be dispassionate, but that doesn't mean they don't feel responsible for what they say. The CIA quickly got up to speed once the fighting began. But an agency historian says the 1973 war turned out to be, quote, "one of a series of events that cost the agency great regard in Washington during a tumultuous period.

The boss of BT has criticised the government's plans to cut-off persistent illegal file-sharers from their internet accounts, suggesting that fining them would be a far more progressive option.
British Telecom's Chief Exec, Ian Livingston, has teamed up with a number of other key industry figures and written a letter to the Financial Times urging that changes be made to the Digital Economy Bill.
Unnatural justice
Plans to cut off filesharers go against what Mr Livingston refers to as 'natural justice' and instead he wants to see those accused of filesharing either pay a fine or fight their case in a court of law.
ISPs will no doubt see this as a preferable option to the current suggestions in the Digital Economy Bill, which, if ratified, will essentially see them being forced to cut off their own customers.
The BT boss said that this alternative approach would "create a fund" and "you get some good, rather than getting some hurt out of people infringing copyright".

More flowers for you guys and here you will be taught "how to draw sunflowers", step by step. As you know I already submitted a lesson on a single sunflower, but after I did that lesson, someone asked me if I could make a tutorial on two, or a set. If you really look at this flower species you can see how pretty they can be. The bold yellow tone of the flower petals and the brown colored inner center almost makes you think you're looking up at the sun. Of course you could also compare the yellow and brownish black colors to the honey bee. I only drew the blooms instead of the flower stems and leaves because I felt that since you guys already had a lesson on a sunflower, there would be no point to show you how to do something you already know how to do. Anyways I guess that's it guys, I might as well let you all get busy learning "how to draw sunflowers" so you can finish drawing something fun. Thanks guys, and see you again real soon.

What an absolutely cool name! Of course when she became a nun she changed it. I suppose I would have changed it too (nun or no nun!)!
"Sr. M. Leandra Flasch, S.S.N.D. [hand-written 1967]
ELM GROVE - Funeral services were hald July 10 for Sister Mary Leandra Flasch, S.S.N.D., who died Friday, July 7, at the age of 68.
The former Appolonia Flasch was born in 1899 in St. Kilian, Wis. She entered the School Sisters of Notre Dame in 1927 and took first vows in 1931.
She taught as an elementary grade school teacher at St. Aloysius, Arcadia; Holy Rosary, Darlington; Sacred Heart, Laurium, Mich.; St. Patrick, Chesterton, Ind.; St. Joseph, Hewitt, Wis.; St. Alphonsus, Chicago; Holy Name, Sheboygan; and Sacred Hearts, Sun Prairie.
Sister is survived by a sister in the Notre Dame community, Sister Mary Judith, S.S.N.D., of St. Mary school, Menasha; another sister, Mrs. Richard Preo, Milwaukee; and four brothers, Leo and Al, of St. Kilian; Paul, of West Bend; and Andrew, of Milwaukee.
Burial was at the convent cemetery in Elm Grove.
[Also hand-written on the side that Leo died on July 10, 1967 which would have been the day she was buried. Checked for Leo's grave on FindAGrave.com and he's listed as dying on July 11th so which is correct? The person that entered the info on FindAGrave or the person that wrote on the obit? Don't know if I'll check since I don't know if this person is in my tree yet!]
NOTE: S.S.N.D stands for School Sisters of Notre Dame
