Ah. The last day of the year. The day when we look back at how miserably we have failed to do all those things we promised we would do for our New Year's resolutions. The day before we make new resolutions, and this time it will be different. Suuure it will. And I have some prime swampland in Florida to sell you.
I don't remember what my resolutions were. To stop getting injured maybe? Well, we all know how that went. A runner's knee that could have been prevented if -you guessed it – I had been a bit smarter about my training. But being smart about my training might mean training less, and then I would have missed out on some awesome stuff:
Broarna runt (around the bridges): a new 5K PR, albeit one that I fought for so hard that it made me wish that someone would trip me up and put me out of my misery already.
Kyrkstigen: An almost 40K long trail run, on a scorching-hot day in July. The surroundings were so beautiful they were almost worth the ensuing runner's knee.
Vasastafetten: The AIK trip down to Mora to relay-run the legendary Vasaloppet ski race track. I ran, injured, a short 4,5 km out of 90 km and did my bit for my team. We ended up taking 7th place. An amazing trip, with so much laughter and good times.
10000m track: One more PR, this time 10K in just under 45 minutes. I don't have a lot of time-related goals, but if I had had one, then this would have been like a dream come true.
Kraftjoggen: Still injured, I ran the short version of Kraftjoggen. 11 terrain kilometres that gave me a place on the podium, the first time I made it up there in a race without age categories. Unfortunately I didn't get to actually climb on the podium as they didn't have a podium. Holy anti-climax, Batman! I was so devastated, I didn't even blog about it. DEVASTATED I TELL YOU.
Last but not least, the highlight of my year, Rovön 6H: The unofficial 6 hour race some friends and I organised, which was a huge success, both as an event and on a personal level. More people showed up than we had dared hope for, and, by the looks of it, had fun setting their own personal records. It allowed me to set a new distance PR with 60 km. It went so well that we're organising it again next year, on the 6th of June.
All in all, it was a pretty good year, annual injury notwithstanding. I am not making any New Year's resolutions for 2015. I will let my training go as it may, and if it goes well, I might enter some races. The most important thing for me is that running keeps being fun, and that it keeps letting me experience awesome stuff and see new places, alone and together with my wonderful club mates. That it keeps being the breathtaking adventure and loyal friend it has been.
For all of you reading this, may your 2015 be full of love, health and happiness.

Number Of Pages: 215
Fantasy, Myth and the Measure of Truth, in paperback for the first time, offers a detailed examination and discussion of the highly contested tradition of epic or high fantasy culminating in Pullman's His Dark Materials . This trajectory of mythopoeia or myth-making has its roots in the quest by a range of Romantic writers to transpose certain spiritual and moral values, once believed to be the prerogative of organized religion, into new myths. Critical of myths that are merely escapist fantasies, this study is also suspicious of totalizing 'grand narratives' that repress dissenting voices. The study nevertheless argues that, at its best, this mythopoeic tradition, which includes E.T.A. Hoffmann, George MacDonald, C.S. Lewis, J.R.R. Tolkien, Philip Pullman and - debatably - J.K. Rowling, can show the power of the creative imagination to generate, through stories that are imaginatively true, a renewed spiritual and moral vision.
'This timely study traces the connection between some outstanding literary fantasies written over the last two hundred years and their roots in the Romantic Movement. In doing so it also explores fascinating links with traditional Christian teaching stretching as far back as Augustinian Platonism. Erudite and approachable, it throws new light in particular on the works of C.S.Lewis, J.R.R.Tolkien and Philip Pulllman.' - Nicholas Tucker, formerly Senior Lecturer in Cultural and Community Studies, University of Sussex, UK
'In this fascinating study, William Gray mines the relationship between German Romanticism and British fantasy literature from the eighteenth century to the present. In exploring the rich Romantic vein running throughout the tales of major writers from Novalis and E.T.A Hoffmann to Philip Pullman and J.K. Rowling, Gray exposes important continuities and discontinuities in a long tradition intent on grappling with the complex relation between fantasy and reality. Carefully researched and lucidly written, Fantasy, Myth and the Measure of Truth is a valuable addition to scholarship on fantasy, fairy tales, and the long reach of Romanticism.' - Donald Haase, Professor of German, Wayne State University, USA; editor of Marvels and Tales: Journal of Fairy Tale Studies and The Greenwood Encyclopedia of Folktales and Fairy Tales
'William Gray's scholarly study examines the often neglected relationships between German Romanticism and contemporary fantasy by tracing the development from Novalis, E.T.A Hoffmann, George MacDonald, C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien to the contemporary work of Philip Pullman and J.K. Rowling. This is a valuable addition to literary studies and the study of children's literature, demonstrating the wider contribution of fantasy writers to philosophical and literary debates.' - Jean Webb, Professor of International Children's Literature and Director of the International Centre for Research in Children's Literature, Literacy and Creativity, University of Worcester, UK
'William Gray's book is a truly critical work, in the best sense: an examination of fantasy literature that moves beyond literary history and taxonomy, without resorting to pure abstraction...Gray has read his texts with scrupulous care, with a sharp, philosophically oriented intelligence. He has read around his authors thoroughly, he writes with conviction and openness, and sets a high bar for critics who would follow.' - Paul Tankard, Times Higher Education
'...a worthy addition to the increasing volume of critical material devoted to fantasy.' - Pat Pinsent, IBBYLink
'William Gray's Fantasy, Myth and the Measure of Truth is the most ambitious and detailed demonstration of just how deep Pullman's triology is rooted in the fantasy tradition stretching back through C.S. Lewis, J.R.R. Tolkien, George MacDonald and on to German Idealist authors and philosophers...For all those who seek to understand the relation between Pullman's His Dark Materials and earlier mythopoeic fantasies, Gray's sparklingly digressive and romantically (un) structured work offers, on the whole, some of the most compelling arguments to date.' - Lydia Kokkola, IRSCL NEWSLETTER
'In his complex academic study, William Gray examines the way in which the works of some of the most important British fantasy writers have been heavily influenced by literary and philosophical ideas of the Romantic Movement in Europe and by German Romantic writers in particular...Scholars of fantasy fiction will find this book an insightful and well-researched addition to the existing criticism in that field.' - Claudia Soffner, Bookbird
'The book provides an important and welcome survey of the origins and tradition of mythopoetic fantasy in English literature...Fantasy, Myth and the Measure of Truth offers an illuminating survey of this group of authors and texts...Gray's approach of recountingthe personal and intellectual biography of each writer in relation to his oeuvre, together with a discussion in chronological order of their critical and literary works, provides a richly realized historical understanding of their context...it is a pleasure to read and provides much to ponder about the relationships between theology, philosophy, and fantasy literature. It is refreshing to read a nonreductive and psychoanalytically informed discussion of these authors that avoids the ahistorical essentialism of a typical Freudian or Jungian reading.' - Naomi Wood, Children's Literature

Just for fun, let's pretend I have a doctorate in both political science and sociology.
And you do, too.
In fact, let's make it all of us.
So now that we're experts in the American political system and the culture that forms it, can we explain how the country has become divided almost exactly in half with people who seem to despise each other?
It's easy to blame Facebook, which reaches nearly 200 million people in the U.S. and has been happily feeding everyone "news" that simply reinforces what they already tended to believe.
Surely that has driven us further apart, but how we got here isn't nearly as important as how we get back to talking to one another.
The consequences could be truly disastrous if we fail at this. America inhabited by two "tribes" with nothing in common would leave us in a situation similar to, say, Yugoslavia a couple of decades ago.
WE'RE NOT likely to see war or ethnic cleansing, but we could be left with a government that has no mandate — and no support from either side of the Red-Blue divide.
If that sounds like a civil war of some sort, well ...
It would be.
Libertarian author J.D. Tuccille has been predicting this kind of unpleasantness for some time.
He recently dismissed the notion that President Trump — with his angry, confrontational style of politics — has made the situation worse.
"Trump didn't elect himself," Tuccille wrote. "Millions of Americans did the deed in a political environment that was already fraught with tension.
"So don't look for easy fixes. Tempers are unlikely to simmer down when political tribes see each other as enemies in a high-stakes struggle for control of a government they venerate for its power to fulfill wishes and crush enemies."
IS THERE a way out of this?
"It's actually very simple," said one Idaho congressional candidate. "We just have to talk to our neighbors, people at the store and at church, and accept political differences while still remaining friends."
So who would say THAT?
It came from perhaps the least likely source, at least if you're following policy positions: Michael Snyder, the mega-mega conservative who rails against government policies and seems to leave no room even for debate.
"I have strong political beliefs and I truly believe I know the right way this country should go," Snyder said after a luncheon speech last week. "But that doesn't mean people who disagree with me are evil, or enemies, or anything like that.
"I've made no secret of the fact that I'm a Christian conservative, but I admire all faiths — and one of my closest allies is an atheist. We have tremendous respect for each other's values as people."
SNYDER INSISTED that America and Idaho — even our hometowns — cannot get caught up in political labels.
"No matter how intense politics ever might get, we just can't stop talking to one another," he said. "We can still get along, and be neighbors with the same everyday problems — and the ability to laugh with each other."
"Great laws and great government were created in this country with talking, with compromise."
Somehow, that conversation with Snyder made me feel better about the chances that America still might come back together.
Not so long ago, there was an unwritten rule for conversations with friends and discussions at various gatherings: Never talk about sex, religion or politics!
It worked then.
Why not now?

Chad Leman
Chad is a third generation farmer from Woodford County. He owns a 2,400 head sow farm that produces and markets approximately 70,000 pigs annually, in addition to raising corn & soybeans, and being a Pioneer dealer since 1991.
This is Chad's first term on the IPPA board, but he has been a part of the Expo planning committee and also served as an IPPA delegate. He will be serving on the Marketing committee.
He and his wife, Staci, have been married since 1995 and have four children, Tessa, Darby, Sofie, and Sierra.
Chad is actively involved in his community by being a member of the Eureka CUSD school board and New Castle Bible Church. He currently serves on several boards related to the Carthage System - Rock Creek Swine LLC, Eagle Pt Swine LLC, and B1G Bin LLC.
Being a part of IPPA has been instrumental in connecting him with legislators, industry professionals, and educators. These acquaintances have been helpful in the multiple expansions his business has gone through. They have also motivated him to stay in touch with legislators and lobbyists so that the voice on the farm is heard.
If he could give any advice to someone interested in getting into livestock production it would be that they have a strong livestock background and have employees who have worked with animals. It is a unique occupation in that the farmer needs to be willing to sacrifice his/her own comfort for the sake of the animals they care for, yet it is also a very rewarding career with many opportunities for growth.

Let's continue seeing Asia. Today's featured city is Abu Dhabi, the capital and the second largest city in the United Arab Emirates. From here, we will visit Sheikh Zayed Mosque, the largest mosque in the country and the eighth largest mosque in the world. It is named after Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, the founder and the first President of the United Arab Emirates. His remains is also buried next to the mosque(outer left side). The mosque was opened for worship since Eid Al Adha December 2007.
This mosque has some of the world records. It has the "World's Largest Carpet" made by Iran's Carpet Company and designed by Iranian artist Ali Khaliqi. This carpet measures 5,627 m2 (60,570 sq ft), and was made by around 1,200 weavers, 20 technicians, and 30 workers. The weight of this carpet is 47 tons – 35 tons of wool, and 12 tons of cotton. There are 2,268,000,000 knots within the carpet. The mosque has also the largest chandeliers made from Germany.
Sheikh Zayed Mosque is the largest mosque in the country and the eighth largest mosque in the world. Natural materials were chosen for its design and construction, which include marble, stone, gold, semi-precious stones, crystals and ceramics.

Mollie's Charity Draw Boost For Alder Hey
We are delighted to announce the winner of Harewood's staff charity draw for May is Mollie Lythgoe, from our marketing team, who nominated Alder Hey Children's hospital in Liverpool.
Mollie chose this charity because it is particularly close to her heart. Her cousin Bridie who is 5 years old, pictured with Mollie, has a rare heart disease called Truncas Arteriousus. This means that a single blood vessel (truncus arteriosus) comes out of the right and left ventricles, instead of the normal 2 vessels.
Bridie has had 2 open heart surgeries at Alder Hey at just a few days old and goes for regular check-ups with Doctor Peart.
When Mollie visited the charity, she was met by the lovely Cath Harding, who is Head of Fundraising at Alder Hey. Cath explained that donations like ours are fundamental in keeping the charity going. She also explained that donations go towards vital research, 'Food on demand' service, next generation X-rays with EOS machines, operating theatre technology, personalised bedrooms, cardiac patient distractions and a whole load more of resources that the NHS simply can't fund.
Just a few of the upcoming Alder Hey charity fundraising events that people can take part in are a sponsored walk around Knowsley Safari Park, Kilimanjaro trek or Vietnam and Cambodia challenge (sponsored cycle).
Thank you so much to Mollie for giving us an insight into the amazing work that this charity does! To find out more, please go to www.alderheycharity.org

I'm guest-posting on my own blog. I just looked at the clock - I have one hour. Do I have time to try to make some sense of the past week?
Do ya? DO YA, PUNK?
I'll give it a go.
*clears throat; scratches balls; tries to find bloggy zen; fails; continues anyway*
There's a scene in Pulp Fiction, where Marcello Wallace gets a good ass-whippin'. Literally, ass whipped with a penis. Bruce Willis's character comes back to save him, and asks if he's ok.
"I'm pretty fuckin' far from ok."
It's one of the best lines in modern cinema.
Some Things have occurred the past little bit, leaving me pretty fuckin' far from ok. I waver being completely open about it, and then holding my yucky truth tight to my chest. Did y'all know I was on my way down? A lot of you did - a lot of people in real life and online have said to me this past week ... "Eden, I have felt something wasn't right with you for a while."
And it wasn't. I Fell Down. It can be known as the lost weekend of '11. I gave the people closest to me the biggest shock, a terrible scare.
A lot of people now read my blog - I can always tell, in the grocery store or when I'm masquerading as a school mum - I can always tell when somebody I know reads my blog. Because there is a certain look at the back of their eyes, a look that says .... this chick is craaazzzy.
(And I am. And so are you. If you don't think you are, you're a fool.)
The one and only reason I will not go into graphic detail right now, is to protect my children from certain things they don't need to know about their mother. But I will say this:
If you have substance abuse issues, be careful if you get prescribed medication. "Legit" medication, that helps you through - helps take the edge off your panic attacks. Because it's a slippery slope. You might start juggling certain things, taking certain things, not believing in recovery anymore .... and wham. You end up getting ass-reamed by your addiction for the first time in many years. And you stand up, and realise that you're pretty fuckin' far from ok.
I've woken up. There is a certain me-ness to my me that I haven't felt in a long time ... probably since I was pregnant with Rocco. Probably since before Dave got cancer. Just because you're living clean and sober, does not mean that Life Itself will not fuck you around, every now and then.
Right now, I'm picking out the shards of mirror that exploded when I looked at it for the first time in a long time. There's pieces of mirror and glass stuck all over me. I am ragged and bleeding and broken.
I am beautiful, because I am being real again.
Email or DM or send smoke signals to me if you want to talk. Be vigilant. Be careful. And for goodness sake, if you have known substance abuse issues, DO NOT GO ON PAXIL. Because you'll take your first tablet and it will feel like an ecstasy pill is half coming on, and you'll silently fist-pump because it's all "legit" and it feeeeeels soooooo gooooood.
(At this point, I don't care that I am giving medical advice when I'm probably not supposed to. I just don't care.)
I'm on day 9 of paxil withdrawals. I crashed my car because I shouldn't have been driving. Dave has had the biggest shock of his life. I think there's a demon in me - slowly dying. It woke me up the other night, we were wrestling with each other, both so angry, and I was fucking terrified. I woke Dave up.
"Hon! It feels like there's a demon in me, trying to get out!"
You know what Dave said to me, there, in the middle of the night, our sheets stinky and wet from my sweat? He said to me - that I probably do have a demon. And it's ok, because I'm shining the light on it, making it go away. Then he went back to sleep, leaving me grateful for his honesty. I wondered if the demon could skip out of me and go into Dave. Or one of the kids. What have I done? I am the demon bringer-homerer. I am awful.
I am so many things right now that I can hardly keep my head on.
The next morning (which is only yesterday, but feels like a million miles away already) .... I was due to go to a meeting at the Google offices down in Sydney. The Blogger team from all over the world were gathered there, for some top-secret development shiz, and I was invited a while ago to be the token blogger they can ask questions to.
I almost didn't go. I possibly shouldn't have gone, but if I cancelled I would feel like a pathetic loser. I am in love with blogging, and all it can achieve. So I went. I picked up Mrs Woog on the way. We both assumed the other had the directions on how to get there - no. Scribbled it out in texta before we went, she had nervous poo guts and I was worried I would pass out from detoxing off paxil.
We got there, and it was amazing. Anil was a gracious host, the office was spectacular ... and I got to talk about blogging for an hour. I am particularly passionate about blogging. By default, I have learnt a lot over the past few years. I've watched the rise and rise of mommyblogging in America ... Heather Armstrong, aka Dooce, is in the NYT again this week. To be a part of it, down here in Australia right now - just as it is unfolding, is wonderful.
Blogging has given me a voice. I now look at the world through bloggy eyes, all the time. It's the strangest medium, when you think about it. That's why I don't think about it .... otherwise I would stop, or censor.
Yesterday I got to tell my blogging story to the very people who developed the platform on which I TELL my story, and that was pretty bloody cool. Twitches and all. (Mrs Woog tells the story with a fresh gusto I can't muster right now ... and yes, I really actually DID say what she said I did. Verbatim.)
So how can I link this jumbled post up? My hour expired five minutes ago, I have to pick up boys and make dinner and try not to crash my car again. I have to go home and take notes on the fantastic D&A counselling session I had today, with a fucking outstanding therapist who I cried in front of, had to ask for help from.
I hate asking for help. But pride kills, so suck it up sweetheart. This week I have received emails from people all over the world - asking me am I ok, telling me things I didn't know, showing me love and compassion. Humbling me so bad ... telling ME that I inspire THEM which makes them live THEIR lives better. What?
Blogging goes deeper than you think. Instead of deleting my blog .... I'm going to blog more passionately, and with more energy and love than ever before. Now if you excuse me, I have the last vestiges of a demon to kill; but until that fucker is dead - whose turn is it to guestpost?

This is an excerpt from the March 2014 Remodeling Forecast.
To get the full report, SUBSCRIBE to the HousingEconomics.com Executive Level.
After modest gains in 2013 spending on residential improvements is expected to accelerate, growing 2.3% in 2014 and an additional 3.2% in 2015.
NAHB research shows the major driver of spending on residential improvements is home sales (Spending Patterns of Home Buyers). Owners of existing homes undertake improvement projects to prepare the home for re-sale. Buyers of homes (new and existing) undertake improvement projects to put the "finishing touches" on their new acquisition. House price appreciation plays a role because equity in the home is frequently a source of funding for these projects.

You saw our roundup of 2011 baby products and now we're giving you a glimpse at what this year has to offer. As always, it was difficult for us to agree on a list so we have 10 items (in no specific order) and 2 honorable mentions.
1. Franklin & Ben Furniture - We couldn't just pick one piece from this collection to highlight because everything is just that good. We blogged about it back in September and it felt like light years away - well, it clearly wasn't that far! This month the collection launches. The refreshing style of the pieces and excellent prices are something that we know will make a lot of parents-to-be happy this year!
2. Baby Jogger City Versa - This stroller has the ability to fold with the seat facing in either direction, something very few others can do making it one of our top picks.
3. Mama & Papas Stargaze Mat & Galaxy Mobile - Yeah, we snuck two products into one, but they're part of the same collection that works with Mamas & Papas innovative Magic Cards. Both will be available in the coming weeks and the cards are completely interchangeable.
4. Clek Foonf - If you've been paying attention to our blog, you know how highly we are anticipating the arrival of the Foonf. So much so, that I've begged my own baby son to stay in his infant seat and under 30 lbs and 30" until this summer when it launches. You know, like he can control that.
5. BabyHome Dream Bassinet - Designed to be used as a bassinet or a smaller crib in smaller spaces. We are so excited about the adjustable leg system that allows, with the click of a button, to change the leg position from a stationary, to a rocker, to wheels. Brilliant! It comes with a v-shaped mattress that prevents the baby from getting caught between the mattress edge and the side of the bassinet and with a honeycomb structured mattress pad it reduces the risk of suffocation, even when a baby finds herself face down.
6. Baby Jogger City GT - Baby Jogger managed to get themselves on our list twice. Hey, if the products are that good - we don't have a limit! The City GT is going to have all the features we know and love on the City Mini and then some. Bigger wheels, adjustable handlebar, easier to access basket (the City Mini is also getting this update in 2012).
7. Valco Baby Spark Double - We love this stroller as a double or single, but we want to highlight the double version because we think it's going to be the solution for parents many parents looking for everything in a stroller. Both seats are independently adjustable and reversible. They turn into a bassinet making it newborn friendly, so no additional piece or additional cost.
8. Natart London - This February Natart is debuting their London collection which will have all of the quality that Natart lovers have come to expect, with a fantastic clean-line modern design and the option to convert the crib to a full-size bed.
9. Peg Perego Siesta - 9 different height, 5 different recline positions and 3 different footrest positions got this high chair onto our list.
10. Double Helix - We're big big fans of Orbit and have personally pushed the Double Helix. The smooth ride that wasn't at all compromised by adding a 2nd seat is really what has us excited. Tons of functionality, tons of features and tons of convenience!
* Boon Flowers/ Trees - Not all innvations are created so big. The flower and tree inserts that snap into your Grass or Lawn Drying Racks are adorable, counter eye candy and also super functional for drying smaller items like nipples and pacifiers.
* Beaba Double - Some parents are baby food making machines and they've said they wish there was a bigger unit so they could get double the amount done in the same time. Well, soon their wish will be granted with a double Beaba Baby Cook.
So now you've seen it. Keep checking back through the year for the release of the products that are listed here. NessaLeeBaby.com will have the products available for pre-order once the prices and release dates are set by the manufacturers.

White sails on a blue canvas. Gentle breeze over the water. Memories merge into the present.
Dave loved his work. He loved sailing even more. His efforts laid the groundwork for the new park that will likely be named after someone who hated what lays beneath this reborn patch of dirt. Like so many others, Dave worked hard to make what we are finally seeing at Point Ruston and Peninsula Park a reality. He spoke often of leaving a legacy in this dirt - knowing that he had a part in turning a smelter into a place of peace and renewal.
Dave and those who labored beside him will not have a park named after them. But their efforts mattered. They negotiated the deals that allowed these projects to finally move forward. They found creative ways to solve environmental challenges with price tags that could actually be funded. Although the final work is carried out by others, its their dream that we see coming to fruition.
I could almost feel Dave sigh with satisfaction in the breeze Saturday and sense his pleasure in the rippling sails along our new shoreline. He and others like Tom and Kevin and Sue and countless others have indeed left us a beautiful legacy.

With great sadness I must report the death of a man who was a fixture at the Iverson Movie Ranch during his acting career. Dick Jones made an impact as a child actor in B-Westerns, as a young man in the early days of television, and — as if that weren't enough — as the voice of the beloved Disney character "Pinocchio" in the 1940 animated movie.
12-year-old actor Dickie Jones reading the title role for "Pinocchio" in 1939
Richard Percy Jones — or as he was known early in his career, Dickie Jones — died Monday, July 7. 2014, at 87. He was one of the last of an era, a veteran who acted in the B-Westerns in their heyday in the 1930s and 1940s ... precious few of whom are still around.
Dick Jones, at right, on the South Rim of the Upper Iverson Movie Ranch in "Wagon Team" (1952)
As a young man transitioning from his career as a child actor, Jones was taken under the wing of Gene Autry, appearing with the cowboy star in a series of Autry's Westerns in the late 1940s and early 1950s, when Jones was in his early 20s — "The Strawberry Roan" (1948), "Sons of New Mexico" (1949), "Wagon Team" (1952), "The Old West" (1952) and "Last of the Pony Riders" (1953).
Dick Jones on the Upper Iverson in the TV series "The Range Rider" (1953)
Autry was savvy enough to recognize the increasing importance of the new medium of television, and as Autry moved to the small screen with his own show, he brought Jones along for the ride. Autry groomed Jones with a string of appearances on "The Gene Autry Show" from 1950-1954. At the same time, he put Jones in a meaty role as the sidekick to B-Western veteran Jock Mahoney on the "Range Rider" TV series, produced by Autry's Flying A Pictures.
Dick Jones, right, and Jock Mahoney in "The Range Rider,"
with Iverson's Center Rock in the background (1953)
Jones played the teenage sidekick to the "much older" Mahoney (born Jacques O'Mahoney and billed as Jack Mahoney on the show), even though Jones was 26 by the time "The Range Rider" wrapped its three-year run in syndication in 1953 — and even though the ever-youthful Jones was only eight years younger than the veteran actor Mahoney.
"Buffalo Bill, Jr." (1955) — Dick Jones, right, appears to be getting the worst of it
in a fight with a bad guy on Iverson's Western street
When the timing seemed right, Autry gave Jones his own show: "Buffalo Bill, Jr.," another Flying A Pictures production. The show featured a who's who of B-Western veterans in guest roles: Lee Van Cleef, Slim Pickens, Glenn Strange, Denver Pyle, William Fawcett, Kirk Alyn, Jack Ingram, John Doucette and Lane Bradford, to name a few. Jones, who was an accomplished stuntman as well as a natural horseman, put those skills to good use on the series, which had a 42-episode run in syndication, from 1955-1956.
Dick Jones, as Buffalo Bill Jr., has turned the tables on the bad guy, who wound up
crashing through the second-story railing off the hotel building in Iverson Village
By now Jones was "all grown up" and had lost the "Dickie" credit of his childhood, being billed as Dick Jones. But even though he was only 29 when "Buffalo Bill, Jr." ended its run, his career tapered off quickly after that and he appeared only sporadically on TV and in films over the next decade. His final credit was a supporting role in the Rod Cameron Western "Requiem for a Gunfighter" in 1965.
Richard Percy Jones — aka Dickie Jones (1927-2014)
Jones retired from acting after "Requiem" and reportedly went into real estate and banking. A popular figure for decades at Western movie fan events — and by all accounts a super-nice guy — he was honored in 1989 with the Golden Boot Award, given to the greats of the Western genre for their contribution to depictions of the West on TV and in film.
In yet another honor for his highly honored career, Jones was named a Disney Legend in 2000.

NEW YORK (CBS.MW) -- Markets continued to rally this week with the S&P 500 up 14 percent, the Dow up 13 percent, and the Nasdaq up 40 percent from their October lows.
"Our strategy is to stay invested in the stock market and accumulate groups that will benefit from this economic environment including technology, healthcare and financials."
Until we see some more signs of slower growth in the economy, we believe the Fed will have to raise rates one or two more times.
There are some signs of a slowdown such as the drop in housing starts in November. See related story. Starts of new housing fell 2.3 percent to the lowest rate in six months due to higher mortgage rates (30-year mortgage averaged 7.7 percent in November).
We believe we will continue to see more signs of softness as the affects of the last interest rate tightenings come to fruition. Inventory liquidation and higher oil prices should also help to slow growth in the coming quarters.
Greenspan would like to see growth between 3 and 3.5 percent -- anything higher would certainly cause him to raise rates (after the December meeting, the next FOMC meeting is Feb. 2). For now, along with the strong growth in the U.S., growth abroad is looking even stronger than the bulls expected -- it may be some time before we see strong evidence of a slowdown.
Our strategy, in the meantime, is to stay invested in the stock market and accumulate groups that will benefit from this economic environment including technology, healthcare and financials. We continue to predict a level of 12,500 for the Dow and 1,600 for the S&P 500 by the end of 2000 assuming the 10-year bond yield falls slightly below 5 percent (currently the yield 6.3 percent).
Interest rate analysis
Our readers know we have been bullish on bonds for some time now. The continuing federal budget surplus and a 3.5 percent consumer price index inflation rate show an equilibrium level of 4.7 - 5 percent for the 10-year bond through the next couple of years.
Friday, however, the yield remains high at 6.3 percent. Historically, before the last tightening or two, bond yields usually peak. Since we are close to the last two tightenings or so, yields should be near their peaks, we believe. We continue to believe investing in bonds is one of smartest strategies and an unbelievable opportunity.

How to Calculate AdWords ROI?
The term Return on investment (ROI) simply refers to the profits you are making in comparison to your investment on ads. In order to calculate the real roi of AdWords, one will need two things, total AdWords revenue and total cost of the product. Then, you can calculate the roi by subtracting cost of ads from revenue.
Suppose the development cost of your product is $100 and AdWords cost is also $100. Then, your total investment is $200. Let's say you earned $300 by selling that product using ads. So, your profit will be calculated as: (Revenue – total cost) = $300 – ($100+$100) = $100
And your AdWords ROI is:
Actual profits / total cost = $100 / $200 = 50%
This is how the roi of AdWords is calculated. You already know how much you are investing in the production of an item and how much you are spending on a particular AdWords campaign. So, you can easily calculate the total investment (cost) of the campaign.
You can take help of free tools like Google Analytics to track conversions to measure the performance of ads. Your AdWords account shows in details how your ads are performing, number of clicks, and revenue earned by ads.
The Roi of the Lifetime Value of a New Client
In addition to adwords ROI, It is also sometimes important for businesses to understand the total lifetime value of a client in order to make better decisions. The customer lifetime value (CLV) and ROI helps you understand the current financial value of the customer, so that you can evaluate overall performance of the business. The average CLV can be calculated by subtracting the customer acquisition cost from average profit contribution by customer. And the ROI of the lifetime value of client will be determined by dividing CLV by the average client cost.
ROI is probably the most important factor in figuring out the performance of an ad campaign. This shows the actual profits your ads are bringing for your business. It helps you make better business decisions, such as whether to continue with an ad campaign or remove it.
Thank You!

Now this is just stupid!
HAYWARD, Calif. — A man who spent five hours naked and stuck in the chimney of his stepmother's home was arrested on suspicion of being under the influence of drugs, police said.
Police say Michael Urbano, 23, locked himself out of the house early Saturday morning and decided to get in on a cable TV wire through the chimney.
But the wire broke and Urbano fell, getting stuck about three-quarters of the way down. He was freed when a firefighter pushed him to safety.
"We get him up, and he's naked as a jaybird," said Hayward police Lt. Gary Branson. "He tells us he took his clothes off because there would be less friction going down the chute. We did find his clothes. So that part checked out."
Authorities were called about 6:15 a.m. Saturday. A neighbor heard "faint, distressing" calls since about 2:30 a.m. and decided to call police.
Police say it probably wasn't a comfortable few hours for Urbano.
"He's not fat," Branson said, "but he used to play football. He's not that little."

This isn't the dumbest thing to come out of Texas, but it shore is close.
This is about the most stupid thing I've heard this week. It ain't surprising that it comes from Texas though. It seems that if you have two drinks in less than an hour in Texas, you can be arrested and sent to jail. Since drunkiness is defined as having a blood alcohol level of greater than .08 persent, if you have more than two drinks in an hour, then you are legally drunk. If you are legally drunk, then you can go to jail. Apparently.
This seems to be the work of some born-again drunk individual trying to cleanup his home state.
That calls for a drink.
SAN ANTONIO, Texas (Reuters)—Texas has begun sending undercover agents into bars to arrest drinkers for being drunk, a spokeswoman for the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission said Wednesday.
The first sting operation was conducted recently in a Dallas suburb where agents infiltrated 36 bars and arrested 30 people for public intoxication, said the commission's Carolyn Beck.
Being in a bar does not exempt one from the state laws against public drunkenness, Beck said.MORE...

The Dept of Homeland Security says that paying off your credit card bill is a crime!
Big Brother needs to learn some manners. This Post 9/11 paranoia is out of hand. Since when is paying off your credit card something that we need to ponder? This is really stupid. So, now I suppose the Fed. expects us all to carry over monthly balances if we can afford to pay it off. I see how this plays right into the hands of bug business. The more balances you carry month to month means the more interest you pay big banks. The more taxes the banks pay and now suddenly the Fed has money to continue the War on Terror. Does this make sense to anyone out there?
Who knew paying down your credit-card debt can set off an anti-terrorism alarm?
Walter Soehnge found out the hard way.
The Rhode Island retiree said that earlier this year he sent a $6,522 check to pay off a portion of his JCPenny Platinum MasterCard.
The payment was received by the credit-card issuer but his account wasn't credited.
It took more than a week to set things straight.
Why? Soehnge says the bank told him the larger-than-normal payment apparently triggered a suspicious-activity flag on his account, and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security had to be informed.

Former Top Bush Aide Accused stealing $5,000
This is pretty stupid! Why didn't Allen just ask for a position with Halliburton? He could have gotten millions of dollars instead of the measly $5k that might send him to prison.
Washington Post
Claude A. Allen, who resigned last month as President Bush's top domestic policy adviser, was arrested this week in Montgomery County for allegedly swindling Target and Hecht's stores out of more than $5,000 in a refund scheme, police said.
Allen, 45, of Gaithersburg, has been released on his own recognizance and is awaiting trial on two charges, felony theft scheme and theft over $500, said Lt. Eric Burnett, a police spokesman. Each charge is punishable by up to 15 years in prison.MORE...

I just saw this book entitled, "A Guide: Making Friends with Black People!" It' s written by a comedian, (who is an African-American) , but, I am not finding it's title funny at all. He admits that he was bored, that's why he wrote this book. I am really not understanding this. Tell me this friends, Do I need a better sense of humor or are you offended by this title like I am?
We come in so many different flavors, How can you know who and what I would like to meet, converse and interact with and then determine if I would call that individual a "friend?!" WOW! Not in this lifetime is anyone able to put me in such a catagory, that they are able to read nor dictate my every move.
Let me know your feelings on this…

Kansas school board vows to make idiots out of its students.
What is up with these people that can't seem to realize that science and religion CAN coexist. Why must they constantly claim the Bible is the source of scientific thinking? Well, it isn't. Remember, just a few weeks ago when the Bible and religious scholars claimed that the earth was flat and all of the planets revolved around it? Remember also when those scientists were sentenced to death for promoting beliefs that were contrary to the church's doctrine? We seem to have the same thing going on now. People are fearful of accepting scientific explanations for fear of being labeled a heretic. This is just as asinine as saying that all Liberal politics is good and all Republican politics is bad. Actually what Kansas did is far worse. Shame on you Kansas!
TOPEKA, Kansas (AP)—At the risk of re-igniting the same heated nationwide debate it sparked six years ago, the Kansas Board of Education approved new public school science standards Tuesday that cast doubt on the theory of evolution.
The 6-4 vote was a victory for "intelligent design" advocates who helped draft the standards. Intelligent design holds that the universe is so complex that it must have been created by a higher power.
Critics of the language charged that it was an attempt to inject God and creationism into public schools in violation of the separation of church and state.
All six of those who voted for the standards were Republicans. Two Republicans and two Democrats voted against them.

As a celebration for *not* finishing off my dissertation, we had some guests come to visit resulting in card games til 2am, and me trying to show off my sushi making skills!
My mum bought some really fresh fish the day before so we had some really yummy fresh sashimi and the leftovers were fried to make salmon for my sushi :D Look away now if you're feeling peckish and like Japanese food!!
Today we went to Southend-on-sea. A place where I used to visit a lot during my childhood and since family friends have moved to the area, we find ourselves going there not for the Sealife centre or the Adventure Park but more for the fresh sea air and crabbing. It's a very down-to-earth place, if you can describe such a place using the phrase, windy day, wind surfers, children catching crabs with bacon, eating fish and chips in the rain, making the most of the summer by eating ice cream shivering.
It was a nice place to contemplate about life. How far I've come yet how far I still have to go. When is life going to completely make itself known to me? But at the end of the day, I'm looking forward to the future, especially looking forward to relaxing walks on beaches =)
I'm off to the Notting Hill Carnival tomorrow! How are you spending the long August bank holiday weekend?

I don't usually talk about non-writing hobbies of mine on here (or at least, I try not to) but yesterday something happened that made me want to talk about it.
I have been a pretty avid gamer since my late teens, 20 years or so now. The latest incarnation that I play with my friends is Pathfinder, the non WotC successor to Dungeons & Dragons. Soon after I started playing, my boyfriend (now husband), suggested I try to run a game. With the amount I read, he thought it would be a good fit. He was right.
I've always been creative and while I haven't always proven up to the task, I am very good at the games part. I prefer running open world adventures, where my players have their own stated goals and I simply match the world to their desires. This isn't to say that my players aren't adequately opposed, but I have a knack for creating and encouraging conflicts and resolutions that my players may not have considered.
For this reason, whenever I'm running a game, my players get nearly (and sometimes more) experience and wealth from talking down the monsters or dealing with them as business associates than they would from simply yelling "Attack" and slaying all-comers.
Adapting on the fly is something I'm good at, but there are times when my players will confound me. That's what happened yesterday.
I've been running my players through a book adventure (the last one for a while I think) called Mummy's Mask. While some of the Pathfinder adventures are well-written and entertaining, some are distinctly more lack-luster than others, being just a general slog of "I hit it until it dies of it. What did it have on the body? Alright, every silver piece has been counted, let's go… Oh, it's a what? And looks, like what? Cool, I hit it until it dies of it. What did…"
I'd have honestly stopped playing it ages ago, but my players do like finishing campaigns, rather than leaving them hanging, so we've been bravely soldering on. The bad guy told them that to get to him, they'd have to go through the "trials of the pyramid"… and my players just lost it.
What started out as a rant from one of the players turned into an actual discussion of whether or not it was feasible, with the tools they had on hand to burrow their way past the defenses. I insisted they do the math to prove that it was, but when they had, I agreed that nothing in the game said they had to run on rails to get to the last bad guy. They'd figured out a new way through. I adapted.
Which is something that you have to be able to do in writing too. People always get so frustrated when they're writing and you'll often hear the lament (if you know a writers) that the characters, "aren't doing what I need them to do". This always makes me laugh, since for the most part, my characters aren't as separate from me as they are with other people. Not to say that they always do what I want them to; they often don't and it's usually my mind giving me a hint that the original idea is unstable or unfinished.
Learning to adapt and going with it is a really important part of writing, obviously. Fortunately, as with most writing, it's a skill that can be learned – even taught, to a certain degree.
My first suggestion would be to try improv. There are usually comedy clubs around most cities where adults can get together to try it out. If younger, check out your local school activities. If you don't see one, create one. Another suggestion is to try your hand at gaming. Whether on computer or in person, creating stories in your mind about your character is not only a darn fun way to pass the time, its teaching you to react with the punches that come your way.
When we're only dealing with our own selves, we can feign surprise, fear, gladness and sketch out what our characters would do, but only with other people will you be able to accurately put that learning into use.
