SOUTHBOROUGH — For the first time in 17 years, residents can see the town's first piece of firefighting equipment, a handtub engine known as "The Falcon."
Built in 1868, the town bought the handtub for $150 in 1896 from Franklin after a series of deadly fires. The nearly 150-year-old handtub is still used in fireman's musters and bucket brigade contests and pumping competitions.
On Monday, the Falcon will be in the parade at 10 a.m. followed by a live demonstration at noon at the Historical Society, 25 Common St. It's the first time it will be shown in town since 2000.
"I've never seen it and I've lived here for 25 years," said Michael Weishan, president of the society.
Weishan is working with board members to expand the society's mission and promote the educational and cultural value of the museum's collection. The museum, which is half-way through its renovation, will be open until 3 p.m. during the town's annual Heritage Day, which runs from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. The parade starts at 10 a.m.
Also on display will be an exhibit: "The Printed Word in Southborough: 1847 – the present; and the 17th Century Sawin Family Papers."
"There are many pieces of our town's history that we're rediscovering," he said.
The engine was first owned by the town of Franklin, where it was known as Franklin 1. It was bought by Southborough in 1896 for $150, after a special Town Meeting appropriated $1,800 for fire equipment after two blazes in town.
The March 4, 1896, fire in Fayville destroyed a four-story tenement building that was formerly a shoe factory, the Grand Army of Republic Hall and several homes. Two more buildings were destroyed in a Fayville fire 12 days later, prompting a special Town Meeting.
In June of that year, the Falcon was delivered to town. It was stationed in Fayville, but assisted fire companies in the other village. It was retired in 1921.
The handtub is maintained by the F.D. Newton Veteran Fireman's Association in Southborough. The engine stayed in the former fire station at the rear of Fayville Village Hall until 1960, when the fireman's association formed and began entering the Falcon in competitions.
Selectman Francis Dexter Newton, for whom the fireman's association was later named, bought the Falcon and it was donated back to the town when Newton died in 1927.
The Falcon has won its share of titles - it is an eight-time winner at the North American Class C Hand Engine Championships, and won 26 of 34 Class C musters, including 15 in a row from 1986 to 1992.
The association also competes with a larger, Class B handtub, the Union 1, which takes 35 to 40 people to operate.
"I am absolutely thrilled this piece of Southborough history is being preserved," Weishan said. "Next year it will 150 years old.

Tourvest will be looking beyond Southern Africa for further growth opportunities.
Martin Wiest, CEO of Tourvest's Destination Management division, says the group's commanding leadership position in the market, strengthened further but the recent launch of GoVacation Africa, a partnership between Tourvest and German tour operator partner, Dertouristik, has prompted the group to look further than Southern Africa for opportunities.
The group also recently consolidated its inbound travel brands – Welcome Tourism Services, Your Africa, SST and Focus Tours – to create Tourvest DMC.
GoVacation Africa, through the TDM infrastructure, is active in South Africa, Namibia, Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda, with offices in Arusha, Johannesburg, Mombasa, Nairobi, Windhoek and Zanzibar. It manages the majority of inbound leisure businesses into these African regions from European tour operators owned by Dertouristik.
According to Wiest, the group has set its sights on Ethiopia, Mozambique and Madagascar to market abroad, and plans to be operational in those countries by next year.
"Ethiopia was voted the world's best tourism destination in 2015 by the European Council on Tourism. International tourist arrivals to that country for 2016 were only 868 780 and so we see good growth potential there," says Wiest.
"Similarly Madagascar, with its beaches, fauna and flora, grew its international tourist arrivals by 15% to 293 195 in 2016, and this is a destination that's starting to rival its Indian Ocean peers such as Mauritius and Réunion."
Wiest says Tourvest has continuously evolved to support the growing demands of its international client base and to positively impact the lives of travellers through extraordinary experiences. "Our recipe for success is to combine technical solutions with intimate knowledge of a destination to accurately tailor-make experiences that fulfil travel aspirations," he says.

Discussion in 'Politics' started by JIHADTHIS, Apr 26, 2004.
Anybody have an answer?:
He's positive that he voted for something... before he voted against it!
I'm serious though, I can't recall him ever saying something positive. The guy is the poster child for pessimism.....
Thinking about it, and I have before, I cannot say if has. I have not heard him say anything positive.
He said positive things about himself and Vietnam and his medals but that has come back to bite him in the ass...of course he blames Bush for that one too.
Honestly, I don't know. I am sure he has but I cannot say as I never read or heard him say anything but self promotion of his past or slander.
And I thought it was just me:
Love the new avatar and sig, Jihad.
Thank you sir!:hail: :hail:
I'll try my best,
The SUV isn't mine, it's my families. Does that count?
saw his new ad today. His plan for Iraq is to approach the global commuity for help. How about that?

text: April 27, 2012 NYSUT honors Joan Perrini and Frances Brown as Retirees of the Year Source: NYSUT Media Relations BUFFALO, N.Y. April 27, 2012 - Joan Perrini and Frances Brown, who have more than 80 years of dedicated labor activism combined, were honored as New York State United Teachers 2012 Retirees of the Year during the union's 40th annual Representative Assembly in Buffalo. Joan Perrini, a retired member of the West Islip Retired Teachers Association and past chair of NYSUT's statewide Retiree Advisory Committee has been an active unionist for more than half a century. Upon joining the staff of Udall Road Junior High School on Long Island in 1960, Perrini quickly became a member of her local teacher association and by the next September was serving as a building representative. She went on to serve in numerous union positions before becoming president of the West Islip Teachers Association - a post she held from 1984 until her retirement in 1998. Credited with creating contract provisions and language that still remain critical today, Perrini has remained active in retirement fighting to protect the rights and benefits of NYSUT retirees. As president of her areas retiree council, she has been instrumental in building what is considered one of the most active executive board and membership of any retiree council on Long Island. Under her leadership, the council, has been especially active in numerous community programs, such as the Making Strides Annual Walk; Ride for Life and NYSUT's Disaster Relief Fund. "Joan Perrini is a testament to the fact that today's active membership owes a large debt of gratitude to our retired members. Their commitment to labor and the fight to improve the lives of working people was tireless and unrelenting," said NYSUT President Richard C. Iannuzzi. "The benefits our members enjoy today simply would not have been possible without people like Joan Perrini." Born and raised in New York City and a graduate of its public schools and of CUNY, Frances Brown served with the New York City Department of Education for 33 years. Her career began with the United Federation of Teachers Para-professional career ladder program, which created a pathway to becoming a teacher. Dedicated to improving student lives and committed to the belief that a strong education has a direct correlation with future success, Brown went on to teach grades four through nine in the South Bronx. She also served 15 years in the UFT's Political Action department. Brown has remained active throughout he retirement, serving as corresponding secretary of the UFT's retiree chapter, as well as serving various organizations as a volunteer including, the American Red Cross Breast Cancer Program, Youth at Risk programs, The Boys Choir of Harlem and the Mount Olivet Baptist Church. She also has served as a UFT, NYSUT and American Federation of Teachers convention delegate. Through the UFT Black Caucus, Brown has been involved in the Africa AIDS Campaign and serves as co-chair, working to raise money for African teachers unions for the peer - education and prevention of the disease. She has traveled to Africa, as well, to work personally with the Nigerian Union of Teachers. Brown also has been active in several AFT efforts to organize teachers and school employees in several areas throughout the United States and has participated in several campaigns in support of education and labor - including most recently the effort to redress the anti-union legislation of the Walker Administration in Wisconsin. "Frances Brown's work to improve the lives of her students, and her fellow educators both here and, literally, around the world is nothing short of inspiring," said Iannuzzi. "She epitomizes what one person can achieve when passion is combined with dedicated professionalism." "Joan and Frances represent the very best of our union," said NYSUT Vice President Kathleen Donahue. "Their commitment to education and improving the lives of working families was not limited to their professional life; they have made that commitment their life's work." More than 2,500 NYSUT delegates, guests and staff were in Buffalo attending the union's annual policy-making convention, which ran Thursday through Sunday at the Buffalo Niagara Convention Center. NYSUT, the state's largest union, represents more than 600,000 teachers, school-related professionals, academic and professional faculty in higher education, professionals in education and health care and retirees. NYSUT is affiliated with the American Federation of Teachers, National Education Association and the AFL-CIO. -30-

One of the simplest meals I make for my family is French pea soup. At its most basic, this is a one-ingredient dish. It's just yellow split peas and water. You can flavour it with broth and spices if you want, but you really don't have to. It's really great with a little carrot and celery, and even better with some bits of ham thrown in. But if you're hard pressed, you just need the split peas and something to cook the soup in.
Why Pea Soup?
Pea soup is sort of a gateway to cooking with legumes. Split peas are chock full of protein, fibre and minerals like iron and magnesium. But they aren't as difficult to prepare as many other beans, and they take less time to cook.
Split peas are inexpensive, and you can find them in any grocery store. They take up very little space in your pantry, and if you include them in your food storage it's no trouble at all to cook up a hot, nutritious meal during an emergency.
You may have only eaten pea soup from a can. If this is true, please cook your own at least once. you'll appreciate the difference! Homemade pea soup is so much better than anything that comes from a can.
The most basic recipe for pea soup appears in the "bare bones" description below. You can half or double the recipe as needed. Read the other variations to learn how to make pea soup with leftovers, how to cook it in a crockpot, or even to make pea soup from your food storage during an emergency.
How to Cook Pea Soup
Bare Bones: Put 1-3/4 cups of split yellow peas in 8 cups of water. Cover the pot and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer, then cook about 1-1/2 to 2 hours. Stir occasionally. When the peas are soft and the soup has reached the desired thickness, it's ready to serve. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Slightly Fancier: Add a couple of diced carrots and celery, a minced garlic clove, and one diced onion to your recipe. Saute the veggies in a little oil or butter before you add the split peas and water to your pot. If desired, add a little thyme and a couple of bay leaves to the pot (but remember to remove the bay leaves before serving!) This dish is great for a meatless Monday, or for sharing a meal with a vegetarian friend.
For Meat Lovers: Add a ham hock or a pound of smoked sausage to the pot. Near the end of the cooking time, remove and chop the meat and the return it to the soup. When made with sausage, pea soup is often cooked using green split peas and is thinner than the Quebec-style pea soup that I learned to prepare as a young cook. It may also include a diced potato, along with the other vegetables.
Planned Leftovers: If you're cooking a ham or making a dish that includes either sausage or bacon, cook up a little more meat than you need and plan to make pea soup the next night. If you've got just enough meat for one meal, that's OK! You can simply use the cooking liquid from your ham in the soup instead of water, to give a bit of meaty flavour to your broth. This liquid can also be frozen in Mason jars, to be used at a later date. Some people like chicken broth in their pea soup, so keep that in mind if you've boiled a chicken or have a little leftover chicken broth when you make soup.
Crockpot Version: Layer the peas, vegetables and spices, and meat in a crockpot. For quicker food prep, you can do this the night before and refrigerate your covered slow cooker insert for up to 12 hours. Add water or broth in the morning and cook on low for 8-10 hours. (I don't recommend cooking pea soup in a crockpot on high.) Don't stir for the first several hours, despite the temptation! It's best not to lift the slow cooker lid unless you need to add ingredients or check for doneness.
Make Ahead Tip: If you have extra meat but don't want to cook pea soup right now, package your ham or sausage with some diced vegetables and spices, and store in a zippered bag or rigid container in your freezer. It's fine if you just have small pieces of meat leftover, too. Cook your soup on the stovetop, or in your crockpot.
Cooking from Food Storage: In an emergency, cook your pea soup on a camping stove, buddy burner or fondue pot. Keep split peas in your emergency food storage, and use dried or canned meat and vegetables to make a tastier dish. Using canned ingredients is also a great idea for young people who receive such things in care packages from home, or for those who need to find creative ways to use odd items from their food bank hamper.
Rushing It: In a real pinch, you can microwave pea soup. It does need to be pureed after cooking, though, and it won't be quite the same.
Freezing Large Batches: If you have made more pea soup than you need, you can freeze it in zippered bags or airtight containers. Bags are ideal if you plan to give individual portions to a loved one or neighbour. The soup can be reheated on the stove or in the microwave. It will be thick, so stir in a little water to achieve the desired consistency. Also remember to keep just a little in the fridge overnight for reheating: pea soup is one of those dishes that tastes even better the next day!
Pea Soup Trivia:
Did you know that split peas are just a dried, split version of the common garden pea? Peas that dry yellow are the dominant type, whereas the green ones are the result of a recessive gene.

Few disciplines better symbolize the rich tradition of the liberal arts than the study of literature, and our Literature AOC at New College is no exception. Offering both the breadth and depth you would expect from one of the nation's top-ranked liberal arts colleges as well as the level of individualized attention and mentorship that are hallmarks of New College, our program prepares students with the analytic, critical thinking and communications skills required in almost any career.
If you are interested in literature and want to explore the full range of possibilities offered in the field, our Literature Area of Concentration (AOC) could be the ideal fit for you. From Shakespeare to Dostoevsky, Homer to Virgil, Goethe to Proust, Austen to Hesse, Wolf to Vargas Llosa and Allende to Yu Hua, our program gives you the opportunity to work across linguistic and national boundaries in your approach to literary study.
As a Literature student, you can pursue courses and tutorials that focus on a wide variety of topics. For example, some of our Literature students want to dig deeply into Latin American novels or French fin-de-siècle fiction. Still others want to explore Chinese poetry, American experimental poetics, German bourgeois dramas or philosophical Russian novels. Whatever your interest, you will work side by side with faculty members who teach across the spectrum of our language and literature programs. You'll also have the opportunity to explore a broad range of approaches, applying your analytic skills to everything from performance, film, visual media, printed literature and more.
Students in our Literature AOC typically work in at least three national traditions and write a senior thesis that examines larger themes or issues from at least two cultural traditions comparatively or through a shared critical lens. Because there is no substitute for reading work in the original language, students are expected to meet at least a minimum language requirement even if their thesis focuses on literature in translation.
Working with faculty from all of our language and literature programs (Classics, Chinese, English, French, German, Russian and Spanish), you will sharpen your analytic skills through close readings and in-depth discussions of texts and gain a deeper understanding and empathy for people from different backgrounds and literary traditions. By studying the historical and cultural contexts of texts and applying literary theory to them, you will also come to better understand the nature, purpose and history of literature itself, as well as that of literary criticism. Ultimately, all of these will help you gain a fuller, more in-depth appreciation for the artistic uses of language and a more sophisticated ability to express your own ideas, both in written and oral form.
Our Literature AOC is also a good gateway for students interested in studying, working and traveling abroad. Because of the program's cross-cultural emphasis, many students choose to study abroad while at New College while others have gone on to earn Fulbright Scholarships, as well as teaching assistantships through the French Government, JET (Japan Exchange and Teaching) program and others, following graduation.
It is important to note that this concentration is designed for students wishing to study literature but not to specialize in the literature of a single national or linguistic tradition. As such, the requirements and procedures for AOCs in Chinese, English, French,German, Russian, Spanish and Classics are distinct from those of our Literature AOC.
Graduates from the program have become teachers at K-12 institutions and faculty members at colleges and universities both in the U.S. and abroad. They have also become lawyers, librarians, journalists, publishers, web developers and entrepreneurs. In short, they have pursued careers in the nearly countless number of fields where their language skills, cultural flexibility, and critical thinking abilities made them valued.
Our students must complete seven contracts, three Independent Study Projects and a senior thesis project to graduate. Contracts consist of three to five academic activities — courses, tutorials, internships, independent reading projects, etc. — that will develop your personal educational goals during a semester.

As a student in Literature at New College, you have access to faculty members who cover the gambit from our language and literature programs, including Classics, Chinese, English, French, Russian and Spanish. All hold Ph.D.s from the country's leading research institutions, and all are accomplished teachers, advisors and published authors. They are also expert mentors who are willing to help students with information about graduate school options and careers, and many continue to advise and write recommendations for students long after graduation.
"Our narrative evaluation system means that we know our students well and can write detailed and personalized evaluations several years post graduation," said one faculty member in the AOC. "We even serve as mentors to students whose graduate degrees are in other disciplines, and former students often become our colleagues."
L.A. Fields is the author of Maladaptation, a novel that was published during her final year at New College. She has also published My Dear Watson, a queer Sherlock Holmes' pastiche. Fields's work has appeared in the anthologies Cool Thing: The Best New Gay Fiction From Young American Writers, Wilde Stories, Best Gay Romance 2010, and Unspeakable Horror: From the Shadows of The Closet, as well as in the Internet collective "Still Blue: More Writing By (For or About) Working-Class Queers" and the online journal "Ignavia."
New College is proud of our many Literature graduates. Here's a sampling of some of them:

Look up in the late autumn sky. Do you see them by the thousands? Perched in trees, caw-cawing and circling en masse against the sunset? It's the Twin Cities' murder of crows, the description for a group of crows. Muralist Adam Turman says he remembers watching them on his drive home to St. Louis Park from downtown Minneapolis as the birds swarmed the spaghetti junction surrounding the Basilica. So it was kismet when the Radisson RED asked him to paint the hyper-local story of Minneapolis's murder of crows inside its new flagship hotel in East Town.
"It's cool because I'm usually the guy who's hired to do a cityscape or landscape of downtown Minneapolis," says Turman of the 128-by-13-foot mural that took him 65 hours to paint. "And that's all fine and dandy, and I enjoy doing that too, but this is like the Northeast turkeys or something. It's something that only locals would know."
See the whole thing come together:
Radisson's new hotel model aims to change the way we interact with our stay—whether it be picking up "craft coffee" at the in-house coffee shop, or entering rooms and ordering extra towels with a swipe in an app. Located in the newly-booming East Town neighborhood of Downtown Minneapolis, Radisson RED is perfectly poised to make a splash come Super Bowl LII.

It's over a week away, but tickets are nearly gone for our spring season finale with Greensky Bluegrass next Friday, May 6.
Since winning the Telluride
band contest in 2006, the Michigan-based jamgrass juggernauts have been the buzz of the bluegrass world. And for good reason: their setlists mix traditionals, innovative covers (from Jimi Hendrix to Michael Jackson), to high-energy originals rich in story and creativity. And as Seattle Weekly points out: "Of course, this is bluegrass. So manic chops mean a lot to Greensky Bluegrass." (Here are 2 free mp3s.)
In the past few years they have earned enthusiastic encores on the main stages of Telluride Bluegrass, RockyGrass, and a sold-out Wildflower show in 2009. Next Friday night they mark the end of our Spring Wildflower Concert Series with 2 full sets of music next to the St. Vrain. (Please note: this will be a dancing show with minimal seating.)
As we've been warning for months, this show will sell-out well in advance. We're now down to just a few remaining tickets, so order yours (while you still can) at shop.bluegrass.com, 303-823-0848, or in-person at The Stone Cup.

T.I. Addresses "Blurred Lines" Litigation: "I Don't Steal From Anybody"
Marvin Gaye's family has asked a judge to hold the rapper accountable, claiming he infringed on "Got to Give It Up."
T.I. is speaking out about the continued "Blurred Lines" litigation.
The rapper, who was found earlier this month by a jury to not have infringed on Marvin Gaye's 1977 tune "Got to Give It Up," says he is not worried that Gaye's family has filed a motion to still hold him accountable. Pharrell Williams and Robin Thicke have been ordered to pay $7.4 million to the Gaye estate because of their song's similarity to Gaye's.
"I have nothing but admiration and respect for the legacy and the estate of Marvin Gaye, and I have nothing but support and extreme admiration for my partner Pharrell," T.I. told TMZ.
"I know that I'm a writer, I'm a creator — I don't steal from anybody creatively when I make my music," he said. "I know that, and I think that anybody with common sense is going to be able to see it whenever they listen to it."
T.I., who can be seen later this year in the films Get Hard, Entourage and Ant-Man, added, "I'll be exonerated because I know I did the right thing."

Maggie Simpson
|Maggie Simpson
|The Simpsons character
|Voiced by
|Parents: Homer and Marge
Siblings: Bart and Lisa
Grandparents: Abraham Simpson, Mona Simpson, Jacqueline Bouvier and Clancy Bouvier
Aunts: Patty and Selma Bouvier
(See also Simpson family)
|First appearance
|"Good Night"
|The Simpsons
|"Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire"
Margaret Evelyn "Maggie" Simpson is a character in the animated television series The Simpsons. She first appeared on television in the Tracey Ullman Show short "Good Night" on April 19, 1987. Maggie was created and designed by cartoonist Matt Groening while he was waiting in the lobby of James L. Brooks' office. She received her first name from Groening's youngest sister. After appearing on The Tracey Ullman Show for three years, the Simpson family was given their own series on the Fox Broadcasting Company which debuted December 17, 1989.
Maggie is the youngest child of Marge and Homer, and sister to Bart and Lisa. She is often seen sucking on her red pacifier and, when she walks, she trips over her clothing and falls on her face (this being a running gag, being used much more in earlier seasons). Being an infant, she cannot talk. However, she did appear to talk in the first Tracy Ullman short. Therefore, she is the least seen and heard in the Simpson family.
Maggie's squeaking and occasional speaking parts are currently provided by Nancy Cartwright, but she has also been voiced by guest stars James Earl Jones, Elizabeth Taylor and Jodie Foster, and by series regulars Yeardley Smith and Harry Shearer. Maggie has appeared in various media relating to The Simpsons – including video games, The Simpsons Movie, The Simpsons Ride, commercials and comic books – and has inspired an entire line of merchandise.
Role in The Simpsons
The Simpsons uses a floating timeline in which the characters do not physically age, and as such the show is assumed to be set in the current year. In several episodes, events have been linked to specific times, though sometimes this timeline has been contradicted in subsequent episodes.[2] Maggie is the youngest child of Marge and Homer, and sister to Bart and Lisa. When Marge became pregnant with Bart, she and Homer got married at a chapel in Las Vegas. To support his impending family, Homer all but demanded a job at the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant, impressing its owner, Mr Burns, with his aggressive submissiveness.[3] When Marge became pregnant with Lisa, two years later, she and Homer bought their first house. Another six years later, Homer felt financially secure enough to finally quit his job at the Power Plant and take his dream job at Barney's Bowlarama. However, Marge became pregnant with Maggie, so Homer, once again unable to support his family, was forced to reapply for his old job. By the time Maggie was born, Homer had shown great signs of distress, but he managed to find motivation in the form of his newborn baby girl.[4]
During the earlier seasons of the show, Maggie's equivalent of a hallmark was to trip over her clothing and fall on her face while trying to walk, causing a loud thud on the floor,[5] but this was toned down in the later seasons. She has penchant for her pacifier, on which she is always seen sucking.[5]
Maggie has performed a number of feats that suggest she is a baby genius. She has spelled out E=MC² with her baby blocks, driven Homer's car, escaped from the Springfield daycare center,[6] and written her name on an Etch A Sketch.[5] Maggie is keenly aware of her surroundings, and can usually be seen imitating the flow of action around her. She shows a high degree of dexterity, and she once hit Homer on the head with a mallet and shot a dart at a photograph of him in imitation of Itchy and Scratchy.[7] Despite her age, Maggie is a formidable marksman, as seen in "Who Shot Mr. Burns?" where she shoots Mr. Burns with a handgun that falls into her hands,[8] and in a more intentional manner during "Poppa's Got a Brand New Badge" where she is able to non-fatally shoot a group of mobsters in rapid succession with a rifle that she apparently hides in her crib.[9]
Maggie is usually frightened and exasperated by Homer's attempts to bond with her, but has on several occasions stepped in to save Homer's life: once from drowning,[10] once from being shot by mobsters,[6] once from being kidnapped by a tow truck driver,[11] and once from being shot by Russ Cargill, head of the United States Environmental Protection Agency.[12]
Matt Groening first conceived Maggie and the rest of the Simpson family in 1986 in the lobby of James L. Brooks's office. Groening had been called in to pitch a series of animated shorts for The Tracey Ullman Show, and had intended to present an adaptation of his Life in Hell comic strip. When he realized that animating Life in Hell would require him to rescind publication rights for his life's work, Groening decided to go in another direction,[13] and hurriedly sketched out his version of a dysfunctional family and named the characters after members of his own family. The baby of the family was named Maggie after Groening's youngest sister.[14][15] Maggie then made her debut with the rest of the Simpsons family on April 19, 1987 in the short "Good Night".[16] In 1989, the shorts were adapted into The Simpsons, a half-hour series that would air on the Fox Broadcasting Company. Maggie and the rest of the family remained the main characters on this new show.[17]
The entire Simpson family was designed so that they would be recognizable in silhouette.[18] The family was crudely drawn, because Groening had submitted basic sketches to the animators, assuming they would clean them up; instead, they just traced over his drawings.[13] Maggie's physical features are generally not used in other characters; for example, in the later seasons, no character other than Lisa shares her hairline.[19] While designing Maggie and Lisa, Groening "couldn't be bothered to even think about girls' hair styles".[20] At the time, Groening was primarily drawing in black and white and when designing Lisa and Maggie, he "just gave them this kind of spiky starfish hair style, not thinking that they would eventually be drawn in color".[21]
Groening thought that it would be funny to have a baby character that did not talk and never grew up, but was scripted to show any emotions that the scene required.[22] Maggie's comedic hallmarks include her tendency to stumble and land on her face while attempting to walk, and a penchant for sucking on her pacifier, the sound of which has become the equivalent of her catchphrase and was originally created by Groening during the Tracey Ullman period. In the early seasons of the show, Maggie would suck her pacifier over other characters' dialogue, but this was discontinued because the producers found it too distracting.[23]
With few exceptions, Maggie never speaks but participates in the events around her, emoting with subtle gestures and facial expressions. Maggie's first lines were spoken in "Good Night", the first short to air on The Tracey Ullman Show, after the family falls asleep. On this occasion, Liz Georges provided the voice of Maggie.[24]
Although she had previously spoken in fantasies and dream sequences, Maggie's first word spoken in the normal continuity of the series occurred in "Lisa's First Word", when she was voiced by Elizabeth Taylor.[25][26] Although it was only one word ("Daddy"), Taylor had to record the part numerous times before the producers were satisfied.[27] James Earl Jones voiced Maggie in "Treehouse of Horror V".[28] Maggie would later have brief dialogue in "Treehouse of Horror IX", voiced by Harry Shearer, who used his Kang voice.[29] In earlier episodes, Yeardley Smith did many of Maggie's squeaks, cries, laughs and occasional speaking parts,[30] although in the later seasons her parts are done by Nancy Cartwright[31] (including a single word spoken during the end credits of The Simpsons Movie). Jodie Foster voiced a Howard Roark-inspired Maggie in the season 20 episode "Four Great Women and a Manicure".[32]
In the occasional "Simpsons in the future"-themed episodes ("Lisa's Wedding", "Bart to the Future", "Future-Drama", "Holidays of Future Passed", "Days of Future Future"), although an older Maggie is depicted, as a running gag within these episodes she is never shown speaking, so no voice actors have been utilized on these occasions.
Nancy Basile at About.com said her favorite Maggie scenes on The Simpsons are the ones that show her acting more like an adult than a one-year-old. Some of her favorite Maggie scenes include scenes from "Sweet Seymour Skinner's Baadasssss Song" and "Lady Bouvier's Lover" where Maggie meets her unibrowed archenemy, Baby Gerald, and the one scene from "Itchy & Scratchy: The Movie" in which Bart is supposed to babysit Maggie, but she escapes and takes Homer's car for a ride.[33] Basile also added that "whether watching 'The Happy Elves' or falling down, Maggie is the cutest baby in the Simpson family".[33] Comedian Ricky Gervais named "And Maggie Makes Three" his second favorite episode of the show and said that the scene in the end where Homer puts up pictures of Maggie over his desk gave him "a lump in the throat thinking about it".[34] Todd Everett at Variety called the scene in "Lisa's First Word" where Maggie speaks her first word "quite a heart-melter".[35]
In 2006, Elizabeth Taylor was named thirteenth on IGN's "Top 25 Simpsons Guest Appearances" list for her performance as Maggie in "Lisa's First Word".[36] James Earl Jones, voice of Maggie in "Treehouse of Horror V", was named the seventh greatest guest star on the show in the same list.[36] In 2000, Maggie and the rest of the Simpson family were awarded a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame located at 7021 Hollywood Boulevard.[37]
Four children's books, written by Maggie Groening (after whom Maggie was named) and illustrated by Matt Groening, entitled Maggie Simpson's Book of Animals, Maggie Simpson's Counting Book, Maggie Simpson's Book of Colors and Shapes and Maggie Simpson's Alphabet Book were released on September 12, 1991.[38] Other merchandise includes dolls, posters, figurines, jigsaw puzzles, and T-shirts.[39] Maggie was made into an action figure as part of the World of Springfield toy line, and was released in the wave one playset "Living Room", featuring her and Marge in the living room of the Simpsons house.[40] Maggie has appeared in commercials for Burger King, Butterfinger, C.C. Lemon, Domino's Pizza, Ramada Inn and Subway.
Maggie has appeared in other media relating to The Simpsons. She is a character in every one of The Simpsons video games, including the most recent, The Simpsons Game.[41] Alongside the television series, Maggie regularly appears in issues of the Simpsons comics, which were first published on November 29, 1993 and are still issued monthly.[42][43] Maggie also plays a role in The Simpsons Ride, launched in 2008 at Universal Studios Florida and Hollywood.[44] Maggie starred in the 3D short-film The Longest Daycare, which was shown in theaters before Ice Age: Continental Drift in 2012.[45]
On April 9, 2009, the United States Postal Service unveiled a series of five 44 cent stamps featuring Maggie and the four other members of the Simpson family. They are the first characters from a television series to receive this recognition while the show is still in production.[46] The stamps, designed by Matt Groening, were made available for purchase on May 7, 2009.[47][48] In a USPS poll, Maggie's stamp was voted the most popular of the five.[49]

The Victorian era saw an explosion in innovation and it is through the uncountable number of inventions that the Victorians influenced the world the most. The most notable Victorian invention is the electric light bulb, invented by Joseph Wilson Swan in 1880. Our modern mobile phones were preceded by the telephone in 1876 and the automatic telephone exchange in 1878. Texting is comparable to the electric telegraph, invented in 1837 by William Fothergill Cooke. Our Ipods might never have been conceived had it not been for the invention of the radio in 1900 and the gramophone in 1877. Even the computer has Victorian predecessors: the punched card tabulator invented by Herman Hollerith in 1884 and the facsimile machine, a device which transmitted images by electricity, invented in 1843 by Alexander Bain.
Modern transportation exists only through the innovation of Victorian inventors. The automobile, a device we would be lost without today, was invented by George Baldwin Selden in 1879. The diesel engine was first conceived by Rudolf Diesel in 1896 while the internal combustion engine was invented by Nicolaus August Otto in 1876. The steam locomotive was introduced in 1846 by Ross Winans and railways were further improved by the invention of the compressed air brake in 1869, the junction interlocking railway signal in 1856, and the Pullman sleeping car in 1865. The essence of modern transportation, the cable street car and the pneumatic railway, or subway, were invented in 1876. In 1878 the 'Resurgam' submarine was invented by George William Garrett. Even the bicycle, invented in 1866, was a Victorian invention, followed in 1888 by the innovative pneumatic tyre.
Writing, photography, and film, the greatest influences on modern culture of all time, were profoundly affected if not invented all together in the age of the Victorians. Photography was invented in 1839 and improved in 1888 with the invention of the roll-film camera. If cinema and Hollywood have directly influenced the world, then the Victorians indirectly influenced it with the invention of the motion picture camera in 1886. Without this invention we wouldn't have decades of television and movies or even Youtube. Writing was altered with the invention of the fountain pen, a predecessor to the modern ballpoint, in 1883 and the typewriter in 1868. Printing was improved in 1884 with the invention of the Linotype.
Almost everything we own today is made, at least in part, from plastic or rubber. Vulcanised rubber was invented by Charles Goodyear in 1844. If it had not been for his improvements to the substance, rubber would have likely fallen out of use and we would not have it today at all. Celluloid, an early plastic originally invented to replace ivory in billiard balls, was invented in 1870 by John Wesley Hyatt Jr. and his brother, Isaiah Hyatt.
So many of our everyday items are rooted in the Victorian era that it would be almost impossible to go through one day without coming into contact with a Victorian invention. Where would we be today had it not been for our Victorian ancestors? The Victorians invented a variety of common items like sewing machines, safety pins, ice making machines, vending machines, the can opener, the dishwasher, crown tops for bottles, and fishing reels. They also invented medical substances like Aspirin and sulphuric ether, an anaesthetic. They even invented breakfast cereal, treadmills, and alarm clocks.

LA Galaxy @ Sporting KC
Saturday, April 7th, 2012
LIVESTRONG Sporting Park
Kick-off: 1 p.m
ACB Viewing Party: Dillon's Irish Pub
No one expected the Galaxy to be struggling this early in the season. Can it be called a struggle after only 3 league games or are fans overreacting? There are those who can create an argument for either side. Many expected LA to represent MLS in what was left of the CONCACAF Champions League, but the Galaxy was eliminated by Toronto FC in Quarterfinals. Some are even considering the Galaxy's season to be a failure due to LA's performance in the regional tournament, which was said to be the team's primary objective. In that series, LA had to fight hard in final minutes of first leg to get a 2-2 draw. A draw in Toronto seemed like a good result, because all the Galaxy needed was a draw in the second leg to advance. The Galaxy failed to do so, as the team fell at home for the second time in a few days. Days before, the Galaxy lost the home/season opener to Real Salt Lake, marking LA's first defeat at home since November 2010.
Probably the part that worries LA Galaxy fans the most is the defensive troubles the team has been having. During preseason, the team gave up 17 goals in 9 games. The absence of Omar Gonzalez might be a factor for the Galaxy's lack of positive results, but 4 out of the 5 members of last season's backline are still playing. So far, seven goals have been given up in three league games. LA has lost 3 out of 4 games at home in all competitions so far, winning only 1 out of 5 games.
There has been a lot of talk surrounding the Galaxy after the disappointing loss to the Revolution. Rumors of a confrontation between Beckham/Sarvas at halftime began to make their way around the internet. Neither one of them came out for the second half. Different versions about what happened have been told, so in the end everything's a rumor. When asked why Beckham didn't come out for the second half, Arena stated subs were purely "tactical" and a "coach's decision". Then, rumors of Beckham not attending this Saturday's game surfaced online on Monday. Several articles had him attending Sir Tom Finney's birthday celebrations, but it looks like the information was false (at least, the rumors/speculation seemed to slow down after Alexi Lalas tweeted the Galaxy told him "Beckham will not be in England this weekend. However he recorded a video salute to Sir Tom Finney").
The Galaxy's most difficult test so far in this young season will be on Saturday, when the team plays on the road for the first time this year in league play. The opponent? Eastern Conference-leading Sporting KC, one of two teams still undefeated. LA lost to New England 1-3 this past weekend. Robbie Keane scored his third goal in two games, with Buddle assisting in LA's lone goal against the Revolution. The Galaxy backline will be tested throughout the game, as Sapong, Kamara, and the rest of SKC are aware of LA's defensive troubles as of late. If the Galaxy wants to turn things around, this is the game in which the team needs to show up and put on a good performance.
LA Galaxy:
3 points, 5 GF, 7 GA
1-2-0, 8th in Western Conference
Home Record: 1-2-0
Away Record: 0-0-0
Sporting KC:
12 points, 7 GF, 1 GA

Shares of the Enron Corporation fell sharply yesterday after Moody's Investors Service lowered the company's credit rating, igniting concern that it might have more difficulty raising the cash it needs to finance day-to-day operations.
Moody's lowered Enron's senior unsecured long-term debt ratings to Baa2, two levels above so-called junk status, from Baa1.
Moody's also said it might downgrade Enron's commercial paper rating, which could make it harder for the company, the nation's largest energy-trading concern, to borrow the short-term cash it needs to run its trading business in the future. The company borrowed from banks to repay $2 billion in commercial paper last week. It is trying to raise $1 billion to $2 billion in additional financing from banks.
''A credit downgrade will be punitive as far as their borrowing power,'' said Joe Correnti, who follows Enron for Wayne Hummer Investments in Chicago. ''That's not a good place for them to be. They have somewhat aggressive expansion plans.''
Shares of Enron, which is based in Houston, plunged $1.59, or 10.3 percent, to $13.81, continuing the daily trading losses dating to Oct. 17, when Enron reported $1.01 billion in losses from investments outside its business of trading commodities like electricity and natural gas.Continue reading the main story
The company's stock, which is down almost 60 percent in a week, is falling faster than the company's debt because the bond holders have first claim on assets after bank loans are paid.
After the Moody's downgrade, the company's 6.4 percent bonds maturing in 2006 fell 4 cents, to 80 cents on each $1 of face value. Yields have risen to 12.1 percent, up from 10.8 percent before that downgrade, traders said. The bonds were trading at face value the week before.
Moody's said the cut was prompted by the ''deterioration in Enron's financial flexibility'' since the write-downs and charges. Investment partnerships involving the company's former chief financial officer that had not been disclosed before this month ''led to a substantial loss in investor confidence,'' Moody's said.
Andrew Fastow, the former chief financial officer, resigned, and the Securities and Exchange Commission asked for information about the transactions he conducted for the partnerships he headed.
Enron's recent woes had many investors factoring in a credit-rating reduction. ''This move was anticipated,'' said Mike Dineen, who holds Enron bonds in the $5 billion of fixed-income assets he helps manage at the Mony Life Insurance Company.
Enron's long-term credit ratings outlook was changed last week to negative from stable by Standard & Poor's. S.& P. affirmed the company's rating of BBB+, the equivalent of Moody's Baa1.Continue reading the main story

"Embracing Life's Challenges"
There are times I find myself pondering within my thoughts; a daydream will send me reminiscing as if things in life were parallel, realizing at times life may appear better in the abstract. I'll reminisce through time with memories, travel forward with an essence of belonging. Perhaps it might otherwise be daydreaming or dreadful memories that I find myself pulled into without recognizing at times what stands in plain view. Staying present in the moment can be harder than it seems, while at times hanging onto things I tell myself I don't really need.
A person can climb a mountain through time travelling only with thought. But to get there, you'll need a guide or sense of direction to find some mastery. Mastery at best requires people or things around you to accomplish great things. A vortex at its best will pull a person in when we don't foresee things internally. While we journey through life or perhaps walk through great mountain terrains our thoughts, experiences, emotions derive from within and externally seek things out. Fears that derive from within may carry merit when we can acknowledge why it is we may feel this way and put this knowledge to use. But also understand within ourselves that sometimes to face things head on can be the hardest task at hand.
Perhaps in a daydream you may find yourself reminiscing through time with memories, travelling forward with an essence of belonging. In a daydream you may find yourself standing at the bottom of a mountain staring at a path that may be unknown to you. You may begin to admire its beauty from within and the external factors at hand. Gazing down at this great mountain with your sense of sight, you may begin to carry insight. Is this mountain a fresh view for your eyes or is it one you attempted long ago? Does your heart race for the adventure with excitement or does it race with the fear you feel inside? Who will stand next to you when you travel the mountain terrains or do you create positive action within that you can call your own?
As you begin to pave new journeys, new memories or perhaps old memories to guide you through, may you take the experience at hand and travel uphill through the mountain terrains. Staying in the present moment with every move, you may begin to take pieces of the mountain with you. Are you self-guided or do the pieces at hand provide insight and guide you? As you may set sight on everything within your path, you begin to set forth the journey at hand. Motioning forward any direction you can go; carrying pieces of this mountain terrains as you continue to go. All the while you feel the breeze, smelling the crisp air as you travel far. The gentle leaves move within the trees and whisper subtle as can be, the stream ahead may fill your thirst as your internal insight sets in motion. Follow the light as it settles upon you, build a fire all around you. The ground beneath you carry's your feet to travel far; the air you breathe becomes your friend by far.
Travel far with another, as you may find you've discovered a shared experience. As you may walk through the mountain terrains building lasting memories, will it become your journey you've come to embrace or perhaps one you've come to withstand …?

Transfer news: Chelsea complete deal for Nemanja Matic from Benfica
Chelsea have completed a deal to re-sign midfielder Nemanja Matic from Benfica for a fee thought to be in excess of £20m
Last Updated: 16/01/14 8:47am
The 25-year-old left Chelsea in 2011 to move to Benfica as part of the deal that saw David Luiz arrive at Stamford Bridge.
He has signed a five-and-a-half-year contract with Chelsea, keeping him at the club until the summer of 2019.
Matic, who arrived in London on Tuesday night ahead of putting pen-to-paper on his contract with Chelsea on Wednesday afternoon, said he is delighted to return to Chelsea.
"I am very happy for this opportunity to be back at this club," he told chelseafc.com.
"I feel very good because of that and just want to say I will give my best to help the team and make the Chelsea fans happy."
The Serbian midfielder was initially signed by then-manager Carlo Ancelotti for Chelsea in 2009 from MSK Kosice at the age of 21.
After finding first-team opportunities limited at Stamford Bridge, Matic moved to Benfica and his new manager Jose Mourinho insists he is returning to the club as a far better player.
"I am very pleased that Nemanja is returning to Chelsea," said Mourinho.
"He has grown as a player in Portugal and has become a fantastic all-round midfielder. I am sure he will become a very important member of the squad and help us to achieve our ambitions."
Matic will wear the Number 21 shirt for Chelsea for the remainder of this season.
The Serbia international confirmed his departure from Portugal by announcing that last weekend's win over Porto was his final game for the club.
He told A Bola: "I want to thank everyone at the club and all the fans. Benfica will forever be in my heart.
"I played here for two-and-a-half years, gave my best at every training session, and now it is the right moment to leave.
"I want to improve, I want to play in a better league and I want to go to Chelsea, a club I also love.
"I would also like to thank Benfica's president, he did everything he could to keep me, but I wanted to leave.
"I insisted on leaving because I think this is the right moment."

TRENTON — A bipartisan bill to increase penalties for illegal gun trafficking passed unanimously in the state Senate today, giving it final Legislative approval. The measure now awaits action by Republican Gov. Chris Christie.
"To combat the gun violence plaguing our cities and to protect our neighborhood schools from tragedy we have to focus on preventing weapons from falling into the hands of criminals," said state Sen. Diane Allen (R-Burlington). "Keeping guns away from criminals starts by cracking down on gun traffickers and the firearms dealers who illegally supply them.
The Anti-Gun Trafficking Act of 2013 upgrades penalties for gun dealers who knowingly sell a gun to those who then transfer the weapon to a person disqualified from owning a gun to a crime of the second degree. A gun dealer convicted under the statute would be subjected to an 18-month mandatory minimum sentence. If the gun was used in the commission of a crime the dealer would face a three-year mandatory minimum sentence and be permanently disqualified from obtaining another retail firearms license.
The legislation would also disqualify gun traffickers from early release from prison and require they serve at least 85 percent of a sentence before being eligible for parole.
The bill also allows for the seizure and forfeiture of motor vehicles used to illegally traffic firearms in New Jersey.

Day 87 - Our little bear is such a smiler these days. He has this gorgeous lopsided grin that makes my heart skip a beat.
When I see his little face it makes me remember that all those disappointing months were worth it. I remember all too well the disappointment and the fear that it would never happen. We are very fortunate, that much I know.
I still hope and pray for those of my friends who haven't managed it yet. I hope they do. The wait is worth it.

EA's decision to skip the dreaded "Spore DRM" (Digital Rights Management) and instead going with a disc-based copy protection just shows that the customer comes first. Similar to The Sims 2, there will be a serial code and there will not be any online authentication needed. With The Sims 3 coming June 2nd, 2009 you can be sure EA will make it one of their bigger PC and Mac games hitting this year. Check out the screens below:

This is just sooo cool! i've been meaning to get into this! been interested since sim2 but i never have time to play it… maybe I'll give this one a try when it comes out!
haha that is true mzitt11! it seems as if it never ends! But Daniel i will try drowning them in the pool once i get my hands on the game just to see if they actually drown to death! lol

Top Tips To Help You With Auto Repair
Having a car gives you a great sense of freedom. It's great to get behind the wheel of your car and be able to go anywhere at anytime. Though, this also means that if your vehicle develops trouble, you can find yourself stranded. Use these tips to get your car back on the road.
Verify that any prospective mechanic has earned an A.S.E. certification. This means the technician has completed a test and has more than two years of experience. This also means that you have an experience, knowledgeable repair person working on your car.
Check the radiator regularly. To do this, you need to allow your car to run several minutes, and then turn off the engine. You are now ready to open up your hood. Do not lift the radiator lid when the engine is running or if it is too hot. Use a dipstick to check the fluid level in your radiator and mix some coolant with water if you need to add more fluid.
Inquire as to whether the mechanic has had previous experience working on your specific vehicle model before. If they have before, then they are likely going to be able to also fix your car easily enough.
Regular washing of your car will help prevent it from rusting. Rust is an inevitability, but you can stave it off for a good while. A good wax can help you keep your paint job protected well.
Get to know your owner's manual, or take the time to note important information. If you have to get an auto repair, the mechanics will need to know specifics from the manual that are unique to your car. The manual could also help you figure out a simple solution to a problem that you are having.
Every time your car is repaired, make sure you keep records of the event. If further issues develop later, the mechanic may want to see the historical documentation of what has already been done. Not having any repair history on the vehicle can lead to more problems for the mechanic.
Unnecessary Repairs
Watch out for mechanics who perform unnecessary repairs on your car. A mechanic that is good will notify you of parts that show signs of deterioration and will soon need replacement, but they shouldn't replace it without having your approval.
