Secretary, ISHA Board of Directors
Chair, ISHA Grant Committee
Dear Janice,
Thank you for selecting our organization to receive a registration grant for the
2019 ISHA conference in Wichita. As per all of the ISHA conferences we have
attended over the years, these are days we look forward to as staff with Curling
Our organization does not have a bricks & mortar Hall of Fame or Museum, nor
is there any potential in the future. But we have moved our strategic planning
forward to ultimately create a mobile, digital and augmented reality experience
for our fan base and new fans at our events. And we have gotten to this point
because of our attendance at the ISHA conference and the things we have
learned from the sessions and the networking with vendors and other museums.
The ISHA conference has offered invaluable information and contacts about the
digital world and its place in the Hall of Fame or Museum industry.
• SESSION 2: Oh, What a World!: gave us valuable insight as to the
preservation of our collection which we are very guilty of not doing!
• SESSION 3: Wizard of Ease: we are currently investigating the experience
of personal information tools via mini speakers and/or augmented reality via
mobile phones.
• SESSION 4: If We Only Had a Library: our takeaway was to look at how we
get writers, story-tellers, historians access to our small collection of books.
• SESSION 5: A Roadmap to Oz: this information was passed on to our own
Foundation including booking a session this winter with Golf Canada to listen
to their successes.
• SESSION 6: From Now On: we have recently licensed a new merchandiser.
This session gave us perspective on what we need to do.
• SESSION 8: I'll Get You, My Pretty: We are working hard in this area in our
demographic issues so the information and the role playing we did at the
conference were indeed valuable.
This winter, a group of Curling Canada staff will be in charge of implementation
of a new, updated plan mainly because of the resources we accessed via ISHA.
Sincerely, and thank you again,
Danny Lamoureux

Town & Team: An Inseparable Bond
This exhibit tells the story of the strong bond between the Packers and the community they represent. Starting in the late 1920s and well into the 1960s, most players lived downtown or nearby and were everywhere to be seen by fans who might have idolized them but also gave them their space. More recently, the connection between town and team can be seen through the charitable work of both the players and the organization. This exhibit features Packers' hang-outs and the communities' commitment to support the team.
Admit One: The History of the Packers Tickets
This exhibit tells the story of how the Packers have always been the hot ticket in Green Bay, dating all the way back to a packed house in their first professional league game and continuing today at legendary Lambeau Field. It explores the history of Packers tickets being sold at various locations including the Green Bay Press-Gazette, Legion Park, and the downtown Packers office building. This exhibit also features memorable tickets at Lambeau Field such as Vince Lombardi's first win, the Ice Bowl, the Instant Replay game, and the Monday Night Miracle.

Where We Started (Before)
As the official repository of the province's professional football team, the Saskatchewan Roughrider Football Club, the Saskatchewan Sports Hall of Fame's (SSHF) collection includes 265 regular season and playoff programs spanning close to 80 years. Each program was contained in a media plastic bag and then contained in a mismatched collection of non-archival quality magazine holders/boxes that did not adequately store and protect them. Nor did this storage system serve to maximize available storage space.
To purchase 130 standard size acid-free lignin-free hinged lid containers to ensure the dust free, long-term preservation of the programs that would also maximize the use of vertical and lateral space within our storage area. As a secondary component of the project, all programs would be digitized and added to the Collective Access artifact database which would benefit access for in-house usage and external researcher access.
In the end 155 hinged lid containers were purchased over the course of 2 orders (July 30/18 and January 16/19). Due to a problem with the supplier, the first order of 130 boxes was not received until September 17/18 which meant that summer students were no longer available to assist with the complete transfer & digitization process. This resulted in some increased staffing costs for the SSHF, as well as a reassessment of the timing for the overall project. It was also determined as the project proceeded that the initial estimate for boxes required was a little short. This was mostly due to the inconsistent thickness of individual programs year-over-year and the inclusion of a number of one-off "special event"
programs in some years. This resulted in the 2nd order of 25 boxes being placed in early January which, thankfully, arrived expeditiously.
The transfer to a consistent sized archival quality box system has allowed us to maximize the shelving space in our main storage area, in addition to providing these priceless artifacts with a safe preservation system moving forward.
This project was completed in concert with the implementation of a new electronic cataloguing system, Collective Access, managed by the Saskatchewan Museums Association. The catalogue information for each item was updated as necessary in preparation for entry into this system. Collection pieces that had not yet been digitized were done so as part of the project. The final component of the process was to upload the digitized content into Collective Access. This has been the most time consuming component of the project due to the size of the digitized files and the (apparently) slow capacity of our high speed Internet connection.
The Budget Estimate Actual
ISHA Speical Project Grant ($2,000 US) $2,500 CAN$ $2,644 CAN$
Member Donations $500 $651.68
SSHF aid-in-kind Salaries/Benefits for Staff TBA $4,000
130 X H-10485 Hinged Lid Pamphlet (18.10 + taxes) $2,861.83
155 X H-10485 Hinged Lid Pamphlet (18.80 +taxes) $3,295.68
SSHF Salaries/Benefits TBA $4,000
TOTAL $2,861.83+ $7,295.68
As noted in our original application, the SSHF is prepared to cover all labour costs associated with this project. In addition, we are also prepared to cover the difference (if any) between the current currency
conversion between US and CAN funds and what it might be at such time as a cheque is issued.
The project has been a total success in the fact that we have met all of our stated objectives:
265 artifacts were digitized (approximately 14,750 pages) and uploaded into Collective Access
All artifacts are now safely stored in acid free dustproof storage boxes
We have secured some additional useable storage capacity as a result of this transition
The Saskatchewan Sports Hall of Fame would like to extend their sincere thanks to the International
Sports Heritage Association for the significant contribution of funds through the Founders Fund Special
Project Grant which made this upgrade possible. It is much appreciated.

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (October 28, 2019) – Ron Watson, founder
president of the Motorsports Hall of Fame of America (MSHFA), died
Sunday evening at the age of 72, leaving a legacy of remarkable
accomplishments in creating the MSHFA, then molding it into a respected
organization that honors all forms of motorsports.
Watson, a native of Bloomington, Indiana, was a resident of Ormond
Beach, Florida, along with his wife, Donna. They moved to Florida in 2016
when the MSHFA relocated from its longtime home in Detroit to Daytona
International Speedway in Daytona Beach, Florida.
"Our thoughts are with Ron's families – his own family, plus the huge extended family the Motorsports Hall of Fame of America represents," said speedway President Chip Wile. "His tireless work ethic and commitment to making the hall of fame part of this nation's motorsports fabric were something to admire. He was a great business associate – and a better friend."
The MSHFA is housed in the speedway's Ticket and Tours Building where it greets more than 100,000 guests annually. Watson made the move happen, working with Daytona International Speedway and then-speedway President Joie Chitwood III. The relocation invigorated the MSHFA, which immediately became an integral part of the speedway's immensely popular fan tours.
Prior to founding the MSHFA in 1989, Watson was a city councilman in Novi, Michigan (1977-89), including a stint as Novi Mayor Pro Tem (1981-85). Watson earned his undergraduate degree at Michigan State University and a law degree from Wayne State University. He practiced law from 1972-93. He was scheduled to retire from his position as MSHFA President in April, 2020 and be replaced by longtime MSHFA Board of Directors member George Levy. That transition had yet to be announced, having been
approved by the board earlier this fall.
"Ron felt that motorsports needed a great hall of fame," said Levy, "then worked tirelessly for the next 30-plus years to make that dream a reality. In so doing he built an institution that's respected the world over and became himself one of the most important voices in the sport. He will be deeply missed by everyone who knew him."
In addition to Donna, Watson is survived in his immediate family by their children, a daughter Stephanie (Ted), son Brendan (Kate) and their beloved grandchildren. Funeral arrangements are pending.
The Motorsports Hall of Fame of America: The Motorsports Hall of Fame of America (MSHFA) conducted its first induction ceremony in 1989; the facility was located in Novi, Mich., from 1989 through 2015 and relocated to Daytona Beach, Fla, in 2016. The MSHFA is the only hall of fame that encompasses the full spectrum of American motorsports: cars, motorcycles, off-road, powerboats and airplanes. The overriding mission of the MSHFA is to celebrate and instill the American core values of leadership, creativity, originality, teamwork and spirit of competition embodied in motorsports. The MSHFA is operated by the non-profit Motorsports Museum and Hall of Fame of America Foundation, Inc. Learn more at www.MSHF.com.

When the Cleveland Cavaliers announced that they were upgrading the Rocket Mortgage Field House Arena in downtown Cleveland, Xibitz was given the contract to work with the General Contractor, Whiting-Turner, and their design team, Infinite Scale, to help develop and produce exciting new elements in the arena concourse. The "Flex Walls" include beautiful graphics, big screens, interactive elements, cases with team artifacts and other engaging visuals and stories about the team and its history. The newly renovated arena will be a centerpiece for sports and entertainment in the ever- changing landscape of Cleveland.
University of Louisville | Schnellenberger Football Complex
When Jack Porter redesigned the University of Louisville's Schnellenberger Football Complex entrance, they turned to Xibitz to fabricate a bold and inventive experience. Inspired by the school's mascot, Louie the Cardinal, a massive wall treatment reminiscent of a bird's wings was assembled in the lobby.
Measuring 29 feet high, each wing spans two walls for a total of 54 feet each. 64 feathers create the sculpture and combined, weigh nearly 4,600 pounds, the heaviest weighing 252 pounds. The sculpture is made primarily of ACM, an aluminum-clad material of thin sheets of brushed aluminum cladding on a composite material.
Built around existing fire suppression controls, heating/cooling vents, environmental controls, and an ID scanner, the sculpture was successfully installed without detracting from the overall look of the project. The result is a cutting edge, sleek, and powerful entrance to the university's football building.

Naval Operations in Charleston Harbor
By Thomas E. Nank
At the outset of the Civil War in April, 1861, the Abraham Lincoln administration faced military challenges ashore and afloat. The regular U. S. Army, mustering around 16,000 men, was not large enough and was too spread out across the states and territories to mount a campaign against Richmond. On April 15, two days after the fall of Fort Sumter, Lincoln called for 75,000 new soldiers to suppress the rebelling states. Similarly, the U. S. Navy that April could count only 42 commissioned warships, spread from Boston to Pensacola and stationed overseas. Navy Secretary Gideon Welles ordered a crash shipbuilding and acquisition program, and on May 3, Lincoln issued a call for 18,000 new sailors to take the war to sea.
By mid-1861, the Navy had four missions. First, warships were needed to support the new blockade of Southern ports. Union war plans included crippling the Confederacy's economy by strangling its export of cotton, tobacco, and other cash crops. Second, shallow-draft vessels were needed on the inland rivers, particularly the Mississippi and its tributaries, to support army operations. Third, Union warships were tasked with destroying Confederate commerce raiders on the high seas. And fourth, Union squadrons were charged with closing port cities and reducing coastal defenses. For much of 1862 and into 1865, this last type of operation was conducted along the coast of South Carolina, centering on the port city of Charleston.

Charleston was the second-largest city in the Confederacy after New Orleans. It boasted a large natural harbor, formed by the Cooper and Ashley rivers. Piers and docks stretched along the city's two-mile waterfront. A handful of low islands surrounded by tidal swamps lined both sides of the harbor entrance. Unlike the other big Confederate ports at New Orleans and Wilmington located several miles up narrow rivers from the coasts, Charleston was only three miles from the Atlantic. Its political significance as the "cradle of secession" and the scene of the opening shots of the war made closing the port at Charleston a priority for the U. S. Navy. As the first year of the war progressed and the Navy constructed a larger fleet that could conduct sustained offensive operations, Confederate troops in Charleston built up the defenses of the city.
Soon, a ring of forts and heavy gun batteries surrounded Charleston Harbor. Covering the northern side of the main ship channel on Sullivan's Island, Fort Moultrie dated to the British invasion of the city in 1776. By 1862, the fort centered a crescent of gun emplacements facing south across the channel and east out to sea. Inside the harbor, Castle Pinckney on another small island was only a few thousand yards from the Charleston docks. In the city itself, several large guns were mounted on the waterfront and covered the approaches to the Cooper and Ashley rivers. Further south, several batteries were mounted on James Island, including Fort Johnson, which had fired the first shot of the war. Guns were placed on Morris Island along the coast, where Fort Wagner was built on the beach facing north and east. Finally, in the center of the harbor, the Confederates garrisoned the newly-acquired Fort Sumter, whose guns commanded the harbor entrance.
Charleston had been blockaded by Union warships since July 1861. The city's proximity to Bermuda and Nassau made it a primary port for Southern blockade runners. Although inefficient at first, the blockade grew more effective in 1862 and the Confederates looked for the means to act against the Union warships. The successful attack of the ironclad CSS Virginia against two Union warships in Hampton Roads in April showed Confederate shipbuilders the advantages of iron versus wooden warships. By the end of September 1862, the Confederates had launched two ironclads from Charleston, similar in configuration to the CSS Virginia but somewhat smaller. Named the CSS Chicora and the CSS Palmetto State, the two ironclads operating together against the Union fleet seemed a powerful threat.
Both ironclads sortied out of Charleston Harbor in the pre-dawn hours of January 31, 1863, and approached the Union warships in the darkness. The Palmetto State struck first, plowing her underwater ram into the steam gunboat USS Mercedita. The ironclad fired at the wooden ship as it heeled over, disabling her engine and tearing a hole in her hull. Taking on water and unable to maneuver, the Mercedita's captain surrendered his vessel. Thirty minutes later, the Chicoraattacked the sidewheel steamer USS Keystone State and traded broadsides with the Union vessel. Keystone State was hit several times; her engine also damaged by shellfire. Barely able to maneuver, Keystone State limped away from the fight. Four other Union warships came to the scene but were unable to damage the Confederate ironclads which retreated to Charleston. The Union ships suffered 47 casualties, including 20 dead. The attack by the ironclads caused chaos in the blockading fleet but the blockade itself was not broken. Since they had nearly destroyed two wooden gunboats, the continued presence of Palmetto State and Chicora ensured that any future Union assault on Charleston would include new, heavily armored ironclad monitors, named for the turreted warship USS Monitor that had fought the Virginia to a draw.

Commanding the U. S. Navy squadron at Charleston was Rear Admiral Samuel F. DuPont. DuPont was pressured by Lincoln and Welles to move against the Charleston defenses. By early April 1863, seven new monitors had arrived at Charleston and were added to the USS New Ironsides, an ironclad steamer with 16 broadside guns, and the ironclad USS Keokuk. At noon on April 7, the nine vessels steamed in a column toward the harbor. The leading monitors got caught up in obstructions blocking the channel between Fort Sumter and Sullivan's Island and the formation quickly fell apart. The strong, swirling currents pushed some of the Union warships into each other. New Ironsides, DuPont's flagship, was struck over 50 times and the monitors also took a beating. Although their gun turrets were armored, the monitors' decks and machinery were vulnerable; several suffered jammed turrets or broken gun port covers. The Keokuk sank the next morning after being hit 90 times in 30 minutes. DuPont learned the hard way that the revolutionary new vessels were no match for large numbers of shore artillery. The two-gunned monitors were outmatched by the forts; DuPont's ironclads fired only 151 rounds compared to 2,209 rounds fired from Confederate guns.
As they had in Hampton Roads with the Virginia, the Confederates looked to innovative technology to sink the Union fleet outside Charleston. By late 1863, blockade running traffic had slowed to nearly nothing. Early that August, the Confederates launched a small, wooden schooner with a low profile named the Torch. No guns or masts were mounted on the vessel, but three 100-pound torpedoes (or mines) were carried on spars attached to the bow. Torch used a small steam engine for propulsion. On the night of August 20, the Torch slipped out of the harbor and approached the USS New Ironsides. Unnoticed until 40 yards away, Torch had difficulty maneuvering when her engine suddenly lost power and her crew were unable to place the charges next to the Union vessel. Now alert, the New Ironsides crew could not depress her guns far enough to target the small craft. After nearly getting her torpedoes hung up on the big ironclad's anchor chain, Torch's crew got her engine running and she escaped back to Charleston in the darkness.
The Confederates tried again. That fall, they launched the CSS David, an improved Torch design which, after testing, was accepted by the Confederate Navy. With a larger engine and a 50-foot long, robust wooden hull, the David could be partially submerged by ballast. She carried a 70-pound spar-mounted torpedo forward and steel plate was added to her upper deck and smokestack. On the night of October 5, 1863, the David steamed past Fort Sumter and again approached the New Ironsides. To confuse the crew and buy more time to attack and escape, David's captain hoped to first disable the ironclad's officer of the deck with small arms fire. As the torpedo boat approached the ironclad, David's pilot mortally wounded the New Ironsides officer with a shotgun blast. As the ironclad's crew regrouped, David's torpedo exploded alongside. New Ironsides and the David both reeled from the blast. David's engine was swamped by the geyser of water and her crew came under rifle fire from the New Ironsides. David's crew, shaken and wet but unharmed, restarted the engine and motored back to Charleston. The New Ironsides was more heavily damaged and required drydocking in Philadelphia. The big ironclad was out of service for another year and never returned to Charleston. Five months later, the David attempted to sink the USS Memphis outside the harbor with a 95-pound torpedo. Again, the David reached her target unobserved but the charge failed to detonate after three attempts.

The successes of the Torch and the David led the Confederates to be bolder still. Since early 1862, Southern engineers had been experimenting with submersible craft. In mid-August, 1863, the most advanced of these arrived in Charleston from Mobile where it was built and tested. The H. L. Hunley was a 40-foot long, iron-hulled craft large enough for eight men inside to provide propulsion instead of relying upon a steam engine. Her armament was a bow-mounted spar torpedo with a 135-pound charge. Although Hunley accidentally sank on two test voyages in August and October, killing five crewmen the first time and all eight the second time, the vessel functioned and offered the possibility of success. On the night of February 17, 1864, Hunley slipped beneath the wave tops and approached the screw sloop-of-war USS Housatonic. Hunley was sighted a few hundred feet from the Union warship, and rifle fire pinged off her iron hull as she approached. The spar torpedo was successfully detonated against Housatonic's hull and the big sloop sank in 15 minutes. Hunley had achieved the first successful sinking of an enemy ship by a submarine but she disappeared that evening with her third crew, never to return from her historic mission.
During the war, Union naval operations around Charleston had mixed results. The fleet succeeded in choking off blockade running vessels that could have substantively aided the Confederacy. They failed, however, in reducing the forts and batteries surrounding the harbor without the assistance of army troops on the ground. On September 7, 1863, Fort Wagner on Morris Island was evacuated after two infantry assaults and a two-month long bombardment, including over 8,000 rounds fired from the New Ironsides and the monitors. From Morris Island, Forts Moultrie and Sumter took a beating from Union army and navy guns for the rest of the war but were never captured. For the Confederates, their series of tactical victories using ironclads, torpedo boats and submarines could not forestall the strategic loss of Charleston when Union armies approached from the west. Charleston and all the remaining forts and batteries circling the harbor were evacuated February 15, 1865, and the city surrendered three days later.

Toronto's surging home values were once again led by demand for detached homes in the urban "416" region.
TORONTO – According to the latest numbers released by the Toronto Real Estate Board (TREB), Toronto's red-hot housing market broke a new record for April sales activity last month – with 11,303 transactions being completed across the GTA.
The record-busting figure also represented a healthy 17 per cent increase over the same total for April 2014 – a jump that TREB President Paul Etherington said can be linked to GTA residents' growing interest in home ownership.
"The record April result clearly points to the fact that a growing number of GTA households view ownership housing as a high quality, long-term investment," explained Etherington.
While the average GTA price increased for each home type year-over-year, detached homes – which have recently been the subject of tight buyer competition within the City of Toronto's boundaries – accounted for the biggest jump, with the price increasing by 11.4 per cent since April 2014.
One key figure that did not increase year-over-year was the number of active listings across Toronto, which fell to 17,182 from the previous April's 19,118 – a 10 per cent drop. The properties that were listed, however, sold faster – averaging just 18 days on the market (compared to 20 during April 2014).
Jason Mercer, TREB's Director of Market Analysis, explained that the relatively low number of active listings was a driving factor behind both the strong low-rise prices, and the fast-paced market activity, that the GTA experienced in April.
"Demand for ownership housing was very high relative to the number of homes available for sale in April. This situation is not expected to change markedly as we move through the remainder of 2015," said Mercer.


The curiosity was making one particular moose very excited. Mika couldn't help imagining all the different ways that the elf may help him and they all concluded with being reunited with his family. Mika had heard many stories about the skills and abilities of elves, although he had always thought they were just stories told to children.
Mika knew that there were different kinds of elves, such as Hill Elves, Lake Elves, Forest Elves and of course Snow Elves, but he didn't know to which group Posi belonged. All these elves had something that helped you to distinguish them from one another; for example, the elves of the forest have small colourful leaves on their clothes and the elves of the lakes have bright blue eyes, yet Posi had neither of these.
The only noticeable difference that Posi had was a beautiful white feather attached to his hat. Mika found it strange that he hadn't noticed it before now, but now he couldn't take his eyes from it. It seemed to cast a hypnotic spell with its gentle swaying and it took great effort for Mika to look away. After Mika had shaken his head to end the floating feeling the feather had caused, he saw Matti had also been mesmerized by the white feather.
Matti suddenly realized the rudeness of his question and felt guilty, Posi wasn't a feather thief waiting for birds to fall asleep so he could steal feathers. "Ohhh, I never thought that you stole it! I mean…" Matti began to blush, "It's just that…errr, ummm…" Mika coughed loudly, "That's enough, Matti! We know what you meant." Matti was so embarrassed that he went to sit by himself and pretended to sleep.
Posi walked over to Mika and patted him on the head, "Don't worry, Mika, the feather can make you say some strange things without realising you are doing so. Matti didn't mean any harm. He is a sweet bird. How did he end up with you?" Mika was about to tell the long story when Uuno interrupted, "Listen! Can you hear anything?" The cave fell quiet with ears all trying to hear what Uuno had heard, but there was just silence.
Matti slowly hopped back to Mika and was hiding beneath his legs, so he could plan his attack if needed or just hide. After a minute of silence, Matti suddenly heard something booming, "I can hear something! I can hear something!" exclaimed the magpie. Everybody looked at him, "Can't you hear it? It makes a steady boom, boom, boom sound in my ears!" The room relaxed and Mika sighed, "That is the beat of your own heart, Matti!" There was some laughter in the room and Matti went to hide beneath Mika once again.
"I can't hear anything!" said Missa to Uuno, "What did you hear?" Uuno jumped up and down in excitement, "There is nothing to hear because the wind has stopped!" The wind had stopped meaning that the storm had ended and it would be soon safe for everybody to leave the cave. The atmosphere became light-hearted and there was an air of anticipation that something big was about to happen.


While his instincts to be an educator certainly help, his personal background also allows him to empathize with the students he works with. "Having been raised by a single mom and experiencing things that tend to come along with being from a low-income household, I understand. . . . Lived experience is pretty critical; I think a lot of my success with students is due to understanding where they're coming from," says Kendall.
Faculty and staff have to be unafraid to pull back that curtain and let students know they are not alone.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Isaac Lee Hayes, Jr. (August 20, 1942 – August 10, 2008) was an American songwriter, musician, singer, and occasionally an actor. Hayes was one of the creative influences behind the southern soul music label Stax Records, where he served both as an in-house songwriter and as a record producer, teaming with his partner David Porter during the mid-1960s. Hayes, Porter, Bill Withers, the Sherman Brothers, Steve Cropper, and John Fogerty were inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2005 in recognition of writing scores of notable songs for themselves, the duo "Sam & Dave", Carla Thomas, and others. The hit song "Soul Man" written by Hayes and Porter, and first performed by "Sam & Dave" has been recognized as one of the most influential songs of the past 50 years by the Grammy Hall of Fame. This song was also honored by The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, by Rolling Stone magazine, and by the RIAA as the Songs of the Century. During the late 1960s, Hayes also became a recording musician, and he recorded several successful soul albums such as Hot Buttered Soul (1969) and Black Moses (1971). In addition to his work in popular music, Hayes worked as composer of musical scores for motion pictures. Hayes is well known for his musical score for the film Shaft (1971). For his composition of the "Theme from Shaft", Hayes was awarded the Academy Award for Best Original Song in 1972. Hayes became the third African-American, after Sidney Poitier and Hattie McDaniel, to win an Academy Award in any competitive field whatsoever covered by Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. Hayes also won two Grammy Awards for that same year. Later, he was given his third Grammy Award for his music album Black Moses. During 1992, in recognition of his humanitarian work there, Hayes was crowned as the honorary king of the Ada, Ghana region. Hayes also acted in motion pictures and television, such as in the movie, I'm Gonna Git You Sucka, and as Gandolf "Gandy" Fitch in the TV series The Rockford Files (1974 – 80). Then from 1997 to 2005, he lent his distinctive, deep voice to the character "Chef" on the animated TV series South Park. On August 5, 2003, Isaac Hayes was honored as a BMI Icon at the 203 BMI Urban Awards for his enduring influence on generations of music makers.Throughout his songwriting career, Hayes received five BMI R&B Awards, two BMI Pop Awards, two BMI Urban Awards and six Million-Air citations. As of 2008, his songs generated more than 12 million performances. Description above from the Wikipedia Isaac Hayes, licensed under CC-BY-SA, full list of contributors on Wikipedia.

Rudy Giuliani Just Called for Robert Mueller to Be Investigated for Destruction of Evidence, and People Are Dragging Him Hard

Presidential attorney Rudy Giuliani suggested that Special Counsel Robert Mueller should be investigated for destruction of evidence by allowing text messages from now-fired FBI official Peter Strzok and his lover, Lisa Page, to be erased in the Russia investigation.
"Mueller should be investigated for destruction of evidence for allowing those text messages from Strzok to be erased, messages that would show the state of mind and tactics of his lead anti-Trump FBI agent at the start of his probe," Giuliani said during interviews with Hill.TV.
Giuliani's comments came after the Justice Department said it found large gaps in the preservation of official government text messages between Strzok and Page. The inspector general dubbed it a "collection tool failure." Strzok was removed from Mueller's probe for sending text messages critical of the president; by the time his and Page's phones were recovered, they'd been reset for others' use, which the deputy attorney general told the inspector general is standard procedure.
"That should be investigated, damn it, that should be investigated fully. You want a special counsel, get one for that," Giuliani said.
Giuliani further implied that the erasure was intentional, pointing to the erasure of a Watergate tape by Rose Mary Woods, a secretary to former President Richard Nixon.
"It's actually worse than Rose Mary Woods," he explained. "She erased less than 19 minutes of conversation, but the FBI got rid of more than 19,000 messages" between Strzok and Page.
Twitter wasted no time roasting Giuliani's argument.
Although the president and Giuliani have suggested that Strzok's text messages suggest he was supportive of Hillary Clinton's candidacy, Strzok helped write the letter informing Congress that the FBI would reopen its investigation into Hillary Clinton's use of a private email server while Secretary of State. Strzok wrote what appears to be the first draft of the letter former FBI Director James Comey sent to Congress. CNN obtained emails confirming Strzok's involvement.
Giuliani also criticized Mueller's decision to allow what he says are false statements from former Trump attorney and fixer Michael Cohen during his testimony before Congress earlier this month.
"He just lied the other day. He told the judge, 'I was fiercely loyal to Donald Trump.' No, he wasn't. He taped him surreptitiously while he was fiercely loyal. He hid it. And he disclosed it," Giuliani said.
Although Giuliani expressed hope that the Russia investigation would end soon, he criticized Mueller for investigating political consultant Roger Stone's communications with Wikileaks about Hillary Clinton's emails, saying that the investigation has moved further afield from its original mandate, "which was collusion which did not occur."
Giuliani also suggested––rather "wryly," Hill.TV notes––that Mueller "needs to investigate himself for obstruction on Flynn like he did my client," a reference to former national security adviser Michael Flynn, whom Mueller recommended should serve no prison time after Flynn sat for 19 interviews with the special counsel's office which gleaned significant insight on the behavior of Trump's transition team.
He even touched on the controversial Christopher Steele dossier, saying that the special counsel's office should be investigated for using a "piece of garbage" to justify search warrants on a Trump associate without telling courts that it was commissioned by Hillary Clinton and the Democratic Party.
"Do I think that is improper? Yeah, that borders on, that sounds to me a lot more like a false statement than some of the ones they charged," he said.
Giuliani's remark once again raised one of the president's favorite talking points.
Earlier this year, the much-debated Nunes memo, which alleges abuses of covert surveillance powers by the FBI, incited a debate as to whether its contents would vindicate the president. Multiple members of Congress, including Representative Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.), himself a member of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, disagreed.
The Nunes memo has fueled suggestions from members of the far right that the "rumor" of the Trump administration's collusion with Russian operatives first began to make waves after Hillary Clinton's campaign commissioned the now infamous dossier––as part of its own collusion with the FBI. In fact, that suggestion mischaracterizes the dossier. Its existence is significantly more complicated than that.
President Trump has continued to insist that the controversial dossier containing allegations of collusion with the Russian government compiled by former British intelligence agent Christopher Steele was not just "disproven" but "paid for by Democrats." Earlier this year, Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) released the unclassified transcript of the interview last August by Judiciary Committee members with Glenn Simpson, a founder of the research firm Fusion GPS, which the Clinton campaign retained to do opposition research on Trump. Simpson's testimony indicates that Steele was so disturbed by his discoveries that he chose to alert the FBI.

People Are Calling Out Republicans for Breaking Senate Trial Rules by Leaving '21 Empty Seats'
Melina Mara/The Washington Post via Getty Images
The Senate undertook one of the gravest American political processes on Tuesday when the impeachment trial against President Donald Trump began in earnest as House Managers and Trump's defense team debated to set the rules for the ensuing trial.
On Wednesday, the Democratic impeachment managers began their 24 allotted hours (set over the course of three days) to make their case against Trump. Their case has cited documents, videos, and Trump's own words to create a compelling case for the removal—or at least for hearing more evidence previously withheld by the White House.
But are Republican Senators listening?

In "Reboot it, don't loot it" (Opinion, Wednesday), Rep. Charles Boustany Jr., Louisiana Republican and also a heart surgeon, displays effective problem-solving and communication skills that he undoubtedly acquired while spending more than a decade training as a physician.
As a third-year medical student at the University of Miami's Miller School of Medicine, I am watching the health care reform debate carefully and believe that Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid could benefit from an important lesson in medical education.
After two years of classroom-intensive study of the basic sciences, medical students begin learning the art of patient care through clinical clerkships. The first lesson learned about the myriad laboratory tests in our armamentarium to aid in the diagnosis and treatment of patients is that we treat patients - not lab values. For example, if a patient has an elevated calcium level, a medication could be administered to increase the excretion of calcium in the urine, thus returning the lab value to normal. However, if the excess calcium is present as a result of an occult malignancy, we have corrected the calcium without identifying the cancer. This is exactly what is happening to health care reform legislation in the Senate.
Mr. Reid's patient is health care reform legislation, and its lab values are complaints from Democratic senators. He is responding to each aberrant result by placating the demurring colleague.
From $300 million in Medicaid money for Louisiana to a reduction in taxes on medical-device companies - many of which call Indiana home - to (possibly) stricter abortion restrictions for Nebraska, to a removal of the public option for Connecticut and Arkansas, Mr. Reid is attempting to treat the symptoms without making a diagnosis. From a "robust" public option to a trigger to an opt-out to a buy-in, the debate has descended into chaos.

Ur-Quan Masters, The
GAME DESIGNER:Paul Reiche III & Fred Ford
GAME DEVELOPER:Toys for Bob
Copyright 2005, Toys for Bob
Arguably the best PC game ever made, Toys for Bob's Star Control 2 is an epic "space adventure" that combines the best elements of action, adventure, and RPG genres to create a thoroughly compelling game that remains a blast to play more than a decade after its release. After acquiring copyrights to the game (everything but the "Star Control" name) from the now-defunct publisher Accolade, Toys for Bob generously released the partially ported source code of the game's 3DO version to the fan community (largely because much of the PC source has been lost) in 2002. After years of work by a number of dedicated fans, the game, re-christened "The Ur-Quan Masters," is now available for download free of charge from the official website. Despite the low version number (0.4.0 as of June 2005), The Ur-Quan Masters is already a very stable, 100%-complete game that is even better than either the official PC or 3DO release of the original game, thanks to the ingenious combination of hilarious voice-overs and excellent graphics from the 3DO version with the cleaner and more intuitive user interface of the PC version.
If you have never played the original Star Control 2 (and you'd have to either be living under a rock or start gaming quite recently for that), let me try to convince you why this is a must-play computer game no matter what your genre preferences are. Consider some statistics for starters: over 30 unique alien races to interact with, 19 different ships to control and customize, virtually countless star systems based on real astronomical data – each containing planets that can be explored, hyperspace and quasispace travel, plenty of non-linear quests, attractive VGA graphics that look great even 10 years later, and a cool soundtrack. Add to that a well-crafted plot and backstory (the "big foozle" in the game, the Ur-Quans, consistently win votes as all-time best computer game villains), hilarious dialogues, and a truly 'epic' length, and you will begin to realize there is nothing wrong with this gem. Your goal as captain of the mighty Precursor vessel is to rescue the entire universe from the Ur-quan and inevitable enslavement. You have to do this in four years in game time – a very long time in real life that you will enjoy every minute of.
What makes Star Control 2 so endearing to gamers across all camps is its unprecedented success of melding different genres by offering several different "modes" that are tightly integrated. In exploration mode, you travel among the planets of a star system. When you touch a planet with your ship, you go into planet mode, where you scan for minerals, life, and so on. You can launch a planet lander onto the surface of the planet if your scan turns up anything of value. Planets have different hostile elements in the form of flora and fauna, intense heat, earthquakes and lightning. In the dialogue mode – most people's favorite – you get to talk to a wide range of unique and funny aliens with names like Umgah, Druuge, Spathi and so on. This often leads to the combat mode, which is one of the most fun parts of the game – especially after you amass a huge fleet in the course of the game.
In combat, the game puts your ships and your enemy's ships in random places on the screen, simulating a hyperjump into the ring of battle. You only have to fight one ship at a time: other ships wait their turn. Blowing up enemy ships get you RUs, or Resource Units (the unit of money in the game), and sometimes vital plot-related clues. If you don't feel like to play the whole game just to get to combat, you can choose "Super Melee" option from the game's main menu: a two-player melee mode offering a quick combat fix.
Technologically, the game was years ahead of its time: it featured very smooth VGA graphics and digitized music (in the form of MOD files)…. on a 12-mhz 286 computer.
To summarize, The Ur-Quan Masters is the best version of one of the the best games ever created. I would have gladly paid for this version that is now being distributed for free thanks to the generosity of Toys for Bob and dedication of die-hard fans. If you have played Star Control 2 before, the funny voices and cool beginning and ending sequences from the 3DO version make it all worthwhile to jump back into the Precursor's captain chair and experience the addiction all over again. A must-have.

ALBERT BELL'S SACRO SANCTUS "Deus Volt" album pre-order.
The Maltese doom metal scene veteran Albert Bell (known mostly for his albums with FORSAKEN and NOMAD SON, but also as the organizer of the Malta Doom Metal festival) strikes with his first solo concept album "Deus Volt", releasing it under the monicker ALBERT BELL'S SACRO SANCTUS. Stylistically it's quite different from his other bands, as it can be best described as arcane heavy doom, steeped in the primeval sounds and atmosphere of the early black/thrash metal, so definitely more extreme stuff, and the vocals are acquired taste too. One can also trace here nods to epic metal and the dark soundscapes typical of the Italian and Hellenic metal scenes. As Albert stated himself: "No sludge, no goth, no stoner, no post anything! Only doom with a heavy dose of true metal in its pristine hues!" Personally we think it's most comparable to TÖRR, NEMESIS (pre-CANDLEMASS), later ZEMIAL, early CELTIC FROST, MORTUARY DRAPE, early DEATH SS and PAUL CHAIN, VENOM, epic-era BATHORY and SAINT VITUS.
The album will see the light of day at the Hammer of Doom festival, on November 14h. Those attending the HOD fest will have a chance to buy "Deus Volt" CD directly from us, as we'll have a table space for selling there.

Currently there are no Payday Advances listed in Wataba Lake, Connecticut.
Ten Recommendations to remember while looking for a payday Loan in Wataba Lake, Connecticut.
Naturally when applying for a cash advance there are several things to take into consideration. Listed here are 10 of the ones we think are vital.
In the event that you have no idea effective ways to save and budget your funds, at that point you may possibly want to get credit counselling in order to cut down the need for payday advance loans down the road.
Get going reserving an "emergency situation" savings fund of, say, $500. This way, you will be able to avoid payday advances later on.
Not sufficient funds charges along with bounced check service charges will add up rapidly and can be rather pricey, so be very careful not to overshoot your funds when ever applying for a payday advance loan.
Make sure that you read the fine print of any payday advance loan or cash loan commitment before you affix your signature on it. In the event that you don't grasp anything or have doubts, don't sign.
In the case that you wish to receive a payday advance loan or cash advance, ensure that you acquire access to your latest work pay-stubs along with your checking account details.
As agonizing as it may be to ask a good friend or relative for resources , it can turn out a lot better than securing a payday advance . If that is not an alternative, try applying for a credit card or any personal line of credit before a payday loan , frequently times the fees on these are much lower than what you will pay on a payday loan.
In the event that you believe that you've been dealt with incorrectly or illegally by a payday advance or cash advance provider, you can easily enter a grievance with your state bureau.
Conduct a reputation check on the company you're thinking of using for the payday advance assistance. Anyone may do this by checking the BBB or other Rating bureaus.
Make sure to know precisely the minute your payday advance loan or cash loan is scheduled to be paid and be aware of the required measures to pay off that loan promptly.
As opposed to extending your payday loan and even having to pay a fine for the reason that you missed the due date , be sure you mark the date it's due on your schedule and pay back the cash advance in full on that day.
