Give Me My Remote > #1 featured > SMASH at NBC TCA: Our Liveblog
SMASH at NBC TCA: Our Liveblog
January 6, 2012 by Marisa Roffman
NBC is launching SMASH next month, and it's a fairly ambitious show. The series follows the conception and production of a Broadway musical based on the life of Marilyn Monroe.
Right now, I'm in Pasadena for the NBC TCA day, and since this is one of my favorite shows of the midseason, I wanted to do what I could to bring you guys into the panel with me. So, to try and make things a little easier, I'm liveblogging the SMASH panel for you.
Scheduled to attend are Debra Messing, Anjelica Huston, Katharine McPhee, Megan Hilty, Jack Davenport, Christian Borle, Jaime Cepero, Raza Jaffrey, and executive producers Justin Falvey, Darryl Frank, David Marshall Grant, Neil Meron, Marc Shaiman, Scott Wittman, Craig Zadan and creator Theresa Rebeck.
So keep refreshing for our liveblog from TCA, which should start around 3:30 PM PT!
3:32 PM – Executive producer Steven Spielberg taped a message for us about SMASH: "I'm sure I'm not the first person who comes to mind when you think of musical theater!" he jokes.
3:35 – NBC executive Robert Greenblatt says the pilot will be streaming starting January 16th on all of their digital download partners including iTunes and Xbox, as well as their on-demand partners. A week before the show premieres, it will be streaming on nbc.com and hulu.com.
3:36 – They're showing us a sizzle reel for the show. If they officially release this, I'll be sure to get it up for you guys.
3:40 – The panel is starting and yes, there are a lot of people on stage. First question is for the producers about how much storyline is used up in the first two episodes. According to Rebeck, "It was a strategic decision because what we learned when we worked with the material is that for a good six months, you just sit around writing and who wants to see writers writing?" It was important to collapse the plot a little bit, Rebeck says, but the speed will slow down.
3:43 – David Marshall Grant likes "you're in a time zone that it's hard to pin down" in the first two episodes.
3:44 – Rebeck says that season one will be taking the play of "Marilyn" out on the road to try it out, whereas a potential season 2 will be getting the show on Broadway.
3:45 – McPhee says she enjoys singing the original songs for SMASH. She says she considers herself more of a pop singer, so it's an interesting change.
3:46 – When someone asks whether the goal is to make "Marilyn" a real musical, Rebeck clarifies that right now, they're trying to make a good show.
3:48 – "The drama that happens behind the curtain is way more interesting than what happens on stage," Hilty says of her real experience in Broadway.
3:49 – "I can't believe you're asking us questions — look, it's Anjelica Huston!" Shaiman says after someone asks him about the lyrics.
3:50 – Rebeck says they're focusing on making the show, versus how much NBC may or may not have at stake with the show.
3:51 -The songs will be released on iTunes on the day of the new episodes.
3:52 – "Because it's beautifully written, it's a fantastic cast of actors…we're working with the best of the best. I'd be a fool not to participate," Huston says of choosing SMASH.
3:53 – I'm shocked no one has asked Debra Messing a question (yet).
3:54 "I had been interested in doing a show like this for a number of years, but my agent was like, 'Don't even bother pitching that,'" Rebeck says.
3:55 – "I don't know if I could write a good musical about Marilyn Monroe, but I do know I could write a great television show about people trying to write a musical about Marilyn Monroe," Rebeck says.
3:58 – Hey, our first Debra Messing question and it's about her family story in the series. "That was one of the things that was most exciting to me when I read the pilot and what I related to," Messing says. "She wants that home life, she wants that balance. I love that nothing is simple."
4:00 – "I wouldn't compare my experiences on both, I would just say I'm so grateful," Messing says of the WILL & GRACE and SMASH comparisons.
4:01 – "When Ryan Murphy did GLEE, he broke a great barrier," Zadan says of the GLEE comparisons. "I don't think any of us feel the show is like GLEE, but we're grateful for it opening that door."
4:03 – Hilty says being a live performer naturally sets the stage for high drama because there is so much at stake. And given all the drama in Marilyn's life, that makes her the perfect subject for SMASH.
4:07 – "Each of them creates a different Marilyn," Rebeck notes when a critic talks about how viewers will form their own opinions on who the "right" Marilyn is for the play.
4:08 – "I'm ready," Davenport says, after he's informed the next question will be for him. He says he thought he would never get the part, given the roles he's played in the past.
4:10 – "I get to be kind of evil. And I like it," Davenport says.
4:12 – Rebeck says she'd love to do musicals based on Victorian novels.
4:13 – Rebeck says nothing for season 2 has been nailed down. They know it will be "Marilyn" goes to Broadway, but whether they introduce a new show will be determined at a later time.
4:15 – They're screening a musical number from episode 5.
4:19 – And we're done! Thanks for reading our liveblog.

I just found your article on the murder of Eugene Cox and James Workman and wanted to offer my appreciation for putting this story out there. I was in Vietnam from 1966-1971 and when this murder happened was working as a civilian investigator with the PX.
I recall all of the anger surrounding the failure to bring the people who committed this crime to justice. Browsing around the internet, I did find that LtCol Can was subsequently killed in 1972 during the Easter offensive, but I've often wondered if any of his confederates who were involved in these murders subsequently came to the States after the fall of Saigon.
Anyway, I just thought I'd drop a line and thank you for putting this out there.

Deserts are really one of the most beautiful places in the world. They have some crazy and exotic features that are (mostly) interesting, breath-taking, and can also be used by us. Here are just sneak-peeks to these places.
Many think that deserts are made of sand. But do you know that sand covers only about 20 percent of the Earth's deserts? Most of the sand is in sand sheets and sand seas. Deserts' soils may be also composed of pebbles, cobbles, gravel, layers of clay, silica, salt and gypsum, or even just ice. An example of a desert with sand is Australia's Simpson Desert, with salt is Bolivia's Salar de Uyuni, and with ice is Antarctica.
A hamada is a type of desert landscape consisting of largely barren, hard, rocky plateaus, with very little sand. It is rocky desert, or desert region, which does not have surficial materials and which consists mainly of boulders and exposed bedrock. Two basic types occur: stony hamada, jaggedly developed across crystalline rocks; and pebbly hamada, cut across sedimentary material and mantled with bedrock fragments.
An erg is a broad, flat area of desert covered with wind-swept sand with little or no vegetative cover. It is also called a sand sea or dune sea. Strictly speaking, an erg is defined as a desert area that contains more than 125 square kilometres of wind-blown sand and where sand covers more than 20% of the surface. Smaller areas are known as "dune fields". The largest hot desert in the world, the Sahara, covers 9 million square kilometres and contains several ergs, such as the Chech Erg and the Issaouane Erg. Approximately 85% of all the Earth's mobile sand is found in ergs that are greater than 32,000 square kilometres (12,000 sq mi).
This desert feature is very beautiful, undulating dunes resembling ocean waves "frozen" in an instant of time. So it is no surprise that is commonly seen in the setting of some great movies!
In deserts, although they generally receive very small precipitation, there can be rare occasions where flash floods can happen. But this flash floods can be particularly dangerous because they can deliver an enormous amount of water in a very short time. This happens because these rains often fall on poorly-absorbent and often clay-like soil, which greatly increase the amount of runoff that rivers and other water channels have to handle. From the driver's perspective, there may be clear weather, when unexpectedly a river forms ahead of or around the vehicle in a matter of seconds.
After a long day of hiking in the dunes, if you get lucky, then you can find a lush area with a pleasant spring and surrounding it are flourishing trees and healthy vegetation in the middle of the desert; have some shade, a drink, and a cool nap. May be you will think this is just fiction, but actually this is true. There are quite a number of oases in deserts, the notable ones are Huacachina oasis in Peru, which is known as the "Oasis of America," and the M'zab oasis in Algeria.
But how can there be an oasis in a desert? It is actually a spot in the desert where the elevation is low enough that the water table is right underneath the surface, resulting in the presence of springs. Even in a desert, it rains occasionally, and this produces a water table just above the bedrock, usually several hundred feet below the surface. Sand is very porous, so most water runs right through it and down to the bedrock.
Deserts are very rich in mineral resources. These are formed, improved, or preserved by geologic processes that occur in arid lands as a consequence of climate. Ground water leaches ore minerals and redeposits them in zones near the water table. This leaching process concentrates these minerals as ore that can be mined. Evaporation in arid lands enriches mineral accumulation in their lakes.
Playas may be sources of mineral deposits formed by evaporation. Water evaporating in closed basins precipitates minerals such as gypsum, salts (including sodium nitrate and sodium chloride), and borates. The minerals formed in these evaporite deposits depend on the composition and temperature of the saline waters at the time of deposition. The Atacama Desert is unique among the deserts of the world in its great abundance of saline minerals. Sodium nitrate has been mined for explosives and fertilizer in the Atacama since the middle of the 19th century. Nearly 3 million metric tons were mined during World War I. Valuable minerals found in arid lands include copper in the United States, Chile, Peru, and Iran; iron and lead-zinc ore in Australia; chromite in Turkey; and gold, silver, and uranium deposits in Australia and the United States. Nonmetallic mineral resources and rocks such as beryllium, mica, lithium, clays, pumice, and scoria also occur in arid regions.
Oil can also be found in these places, but it is not really true that there are more oil in deserts than other places. It may be just coincidental because it is principally found in large sedimentary basins located at or near recent or ancient continental margins. This is where the maximum amount of sediment will aggregate into thick, structured and organic rich detritus with ample reservoir quality rock. The most prolific oil reservoirs are generally located at the mouths of the world's largest rivers in deltaic complexes.
One of the main "events" of the desert that one must not miss is the amazing rock formations it has. Rock formations form due to weathering, which is a group of processes by which surface rock disintegrates into smaller particles or dissolve into water due to wind, flowing water or heat. They maybe formed through physical or chemical weathering, or both. Rock formations here can be arches, towers, "houses" or just a spectacle of defying gravity.

"Legacies" Season 2, Episode 1: "I'll Never Give Up Hope" Recap
By kristinrjanssen October 11, 2019 November 7, 2019
Leave a Comment on "Legacies" Season 2, Episode 1: "I'll Never Give Up Hope" Recap
Oh my god, you guys, "Legacies" is back! I'm so excited; are you excited?! It definitely came out of the gates swinging for season two so I'm going to get right into it. When we left off, we had recently discovered that Landon (Aria Shahghasemi) is a phoenix, Hope (Danielle Rose Russell) had jumped into Malivore with Landon's "brother" Ryan (Nick Fink), the twins learned about the Gemini merge, and Alaric (Matthew Davis) had been removed from his position as headmaster. That was a lot of information so I'm glad that the new season really hit the ground running without a lot of recapping or fluff.
The episode begins with us seeing all the kids going home for the summer, except for Landon and Josie apparently. Lizzie went to see Caroline and get some information about the merge, while Josie stayed in Mystic Falls to keep an eye on Alaric and his rapidly growing facial hair. MG went home with Kaleb for the summer since his family is full trash. Everyone was having a pretty good time, including the twins, who were doing that fun Freya astral projection chat from the final season of "The Originals."
i love this friendship so much😭 #legacies pic.twitter.com/pylOdXfpdV

That, however, does not apply to Landon, who was instead spending the summer drowning himself in the lake repeatedly for some kind of phoenix-y reason? When he wasn't doing that, though, he was hanging out and grilling for Rafael, who is still a wolf since Hope stopped existing. Landon even went so far as to host adorable movie nights for him, which is maybe the most charming thing he's ever done — and that's saying a lot.

While all this is going on in the real world, Hope is in a very different situation inside Malivore. Walking around in an endless blackness, Hope is continually confronted with all the monsters she and her fellow "avengers" defeated last season. Not to mention that every time she uses magic a giant light in the sky tries to take her away. Basically, she's not having a very good time, and it gets even worse when she runs into Landon's brother, who "rescues" her from the light.
What follows is a pretty annoying back and forth where Ryan keeps trying to convince her to help him and she keeps using magic against him. Finally she realizes that the light trying to take her is Malivore trying to expel her because she's not meant to be there, and Ryan is keeping her from going because if she leaves he'll be alone at his father's mercy again. Hope doesn't care at all and peaces out at the earliest possible moment, which is both totally on brand as her parent's child and deeply hilarious since Ryan SUCKS.
Hope was such a badass in Malivore, I thought I couldn't love her more… but I was wrong. ICONIC #Legacies

Unfortunately, even though she's back in the real world, no one remembers Hope still. She tries to get into the school but Dorian's locking up and won't let her in. She gets in anyway and goes looking for Landon; she obviously finds him just as he's kissing Josie for the first time, after their montage of summer fun set to a cover of "Better Together." It's obviously heartbreaking, except that I got super excited Hope can be with Rafael now once she turns him human again! They have much better chemistry and I'm shockingly into Landon/Josie.

Rounding out the episode are the adventures of MG and Kaleb in his hometown. Kaleb is teaching MG how to grill meat…for reasons. He also keeps telling him to let loose and have some summer fun, at least until said summer fun starts to include Kaleb's sister Kym. It's kind of a bummer since Kym seems much more MG's speed than Lizzie, who he's still pining after for some reason. Before they go back to Mystic Falls Kaleb promises to help MG get Lizzie, which is a nice bro move that I'm certain won't work. Lizzie is great, but she's not very thoughtful and she's too narcissistic for MG.
Can't wait to see more of her #Legacies pic.twitter.com/XqKJAdeRKe

The episode ends with Hope, alone again, until she runs into what looks like a budget version of The Hulk. Turns out it's a troll, and Hope thinks that some things maybe followed her out of Malivore when she escaped. All in all it set up what's sure to be a super fun new season of "Legacies," and I, for one, can't wait to see what's in store for us. I'm going to need at least one or two people to remember Hope like ASAP, but other than that we're off to a great start!
"Legacies" airs on The CW on Thursdays at 9/8c! Stay tuned for all our season two recaps.

Melissa says, Our self image is a major factor in determining our internal health, but before we can feel good about ourselves we need to unlearn the falsehoods of our culture. She demonstrates the importance of strong and powerful older women in our society, using myth, and archeological evidence, poetry, and remedy pictures. She reveals how HRT as a strategy for treating women is a continuum from the past.
Melissa shares her personal perceptions, learned crone wisdom and insights as an experienced homeopathic practitioner. Among the innovative remedy pictures are Sepia, Cimicifuga, Folliculinum, Lachesis, Arsenicum, Helonius, and Senecio.

Motivation: Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) has in recent years become a popular treatment for primary tumors in the breast, kidney, liver, and etc. However, traditional approaches of guidance such as ultrasound and computed tomography (CT) fail to provide satisfactory placement precision. Although MRI guidance offers the ability to evaluate the completeness of the RFA, those procedures that are currently done using MRI are performed under "image guidance" rather than "continuous imaging". The goal of this research is to build a multi-DOF device for breast biopsy/RFA that is MRI compatible and teleoperated with a haptic interface. We envision a "one-sitting procedure", whereby identification of tumor boundaries, placement of the needle, assessment of placement accuracy, ablation, and assessment of ablation accuracy can be done in one sitting, without removing the patient from the scanner or disrupting tumor location, as shown in Fig. 1.
Job Description: Required Service engineers for Jaipur and Delhi for servicing and maintenance of the Diagnostic high end equipment such as CT Scan, MRI, Cathlab, Ultrasound etc. Candidate with relative experience will be preferred.
Candidate Requirement Candidate should be degree or diploma holder in Electronics and Electrical stream. Diploma holders from mechanical stream will also be considered.
Scientists from India and Canada are collaborating on the development of a new imaging technology focussed on brain tumours. The bilateral project—Improving the Detection, Diagnosis and Treatment of Brain Tumours—is valued at almost US$1.7 million and aims to develop and commercialise software that will provide radiologists with enhanced automated imaging methods to detect and characterise brain tumours and enable accelerated assessment and treatment.
Leveraging $486,000 from ISTP Canada and additional funding from the Department of Biotechnology (DBT) in India, the team is tasked with creating a new imaging technology that automatically locates, maps and monitors tumour changes and combines MRI and PET image data into a single information-rich diagnostic tool.

Tony Parker to undergo season-ending surgery for ruptured left quadriceps tendon
May 15, 2017 21:35·
According to multiple sources including the San Antonio Spurs themselves, Tony Parker suffered a ruptured left quadriceps tendon on Wednesday night. "A timeline for his return will be determined at a later date".
The San Antonio Spurs will play the Houston Rockets in game 3 of the second round of the National Basketball Association playoffs on ESPN, Friday, May 5, 2017 at 8:30 pm.
It is unclear who will start at the point guard position in Game 3 with backup Mills and rookie Murray having started for Parker during the 19 games he missed in the regular season. He was carried off by teammates Dewayne Dedmon and Murray, and did not look up as the crowd chanted his name.
The series now moves to Houston for Game 3 on Friday. That's tops among players still in the postseason. Tomorrow they are going to tell us. "He's a great guy; not a good guy". Specifically, in Game 2, Parker had 18 points and four assists.
Kyle Lowry (20 points) top-scored for the Raptors, who have it all to do as the semi-finals head to Toronto for Games 3 and 4. Despite losing Parker for the reminder of the season San Antonio still has a shot of winning this series.
Tony Parker was averaging 15.9 points this postseason.

James came in needing 25 points to pass Abdul-Jabbar, and he overtook the Hall of Fame center with a 3-pointer in the third quarter, when he scored 17 and helped the Cavs open a 26-point lead.
In close to five seasons with the Rockets, Patrick Beverley has had his fair share of battles with Spurs guard Tony Parker, but the relationship between the two goes back further.
He was carried off the floor during the game with what appeared to be a non-contact knee injury.
"It sucks to see somebody go down that way especially for what he brings to their team", Ariza said. "(Duncan) had that presence", said Patty Mills, who could start in Parker's absence.
INJURY UPDATE: Parker (left quadriceps) is out.
"I just missed shots", Harden said Tuesday night. "His team is a machine. One person falls down, the next person steps up". Gregg Popovich understood Parker's importance to the Spurs' chances of contending. "I don't know how you replace that". "Just blessed I'm able to make a few plays tonight to help us win another game". The Spurs slowed the game down in final period, playing the game at a pace that suited them instead of the frenetic pace of Game 1.

New Orleans was settled by the French in the early 1700s. When Americans began to migrate there in the early 1800s following the Louisiana Purchase, the French Creoles thought they were uncouth and didn't want them living in the French Quarter. The Americans weren't real crazy about the Creoles either, so since the Livaudais Plantation to the west of the city was being sold off in parcels, wealthy American newcomers began buying land and settling there.
The name Garden District comes from the fact the area was originally laid out with only two houses per block with large gardens surrounding each house. As time went on, the area became more urban, and many of the large lots were subdivided. As a result, Victorian gingerbread houses built in the late 1800s are intermixed with Greek Revival mansions built in the early and mid 1800s. The Garden District name stuck even though most of the large gardens are gone.
The city tour we took back in 2009 went through the Garden District, but we only got to see a few houses, and then it was from inside the tour van. We wanted to get a better look at some of the houses, so we began to investigate walking tours during this stop. There are several guided walking tours of the Garden District available, but Margery found information for a free, self-guided tour online from bigboytravel.com. Margery put together our own version of a walking tour using information she gathered from the bigboytravel.com website. She printed up a map and information on some of the houses we would see in the form of a small pamphlet we could carry with us.
We headed to the Garden District on Monday morning. The nice thing about doing our own tour was, not only could we go at our own pace, but we could also take Freeway with us. Since it is a residential area, there is plenty of free, on-street parking in the Garden District. We found a good parking spot on Prytania Ave., which was right along our tour route.
Our tour route covered an area about 4 blocks long and 3 blocks wide. We walked a total distance of 14 blocks around and through that area and saw over 100 houses and other landmarks. Only about 25 of those were written up on the bigboytravel website. We'll show about a dozen of the ones we thought were most interesting.
We were parked right beside a large, pink house. We don't know much about the house itself, but we thought the Greek-style relief sculpture of two horses at the top was impressive.
On one corner near where we parked was a house built by Bradish Johnson, whose family fortune was based on sugar plantations. The home was built at a cost of $100,000 in 1872, which is equivalent to $1.5 million today. Incidentally, most of the homes for sale in the Garden District have asking prices that range from $1 to $2.5 million.
The Johnson House is now the home of the Louise S. McGhee School, which is a private girls' school for grades K-12. The school not only owns the Johnson House, but it also owns most of the other buildings on the block. Tuition is around $16,000 per year.
Walking to the west down Prytania Ave., we next came to the Davis-Seebold Residence. This house, which was built in 1858, is now the home of the Women's Opera Guild.
Next on our tour was the Briggs-Staub House built in 1849. This house was built in the Gothic style, which raised the ire of the neighbors because they were mostly Protestant, and the style of the house reminded them of the Catholic Creoles who lived in the French Quarter whom they didn't like.
As we said, there are several guided walking tours available. We ran across a few of them while we were on our own self-guided tour.
Another way to tour the Garden District is by carriage.
The next house is Colonel Robert Short's Villa at the corner of Prytania Ave. and Fourth St. built in 1859.
The interesting thing about Colonel Short's Villa is the wrought iron, cornstalk fence that surrounds the house. It is said Colonel Short bought the fence for his wife, who missed the cornfields of her native Iowa. We don't know if the fence comforted his wife or not, but it may have helped the Yankees feel more at home because they seized the villa to be the home of the Federal Governor of Louisiana during the occupation of New Orleans. The villa was returned to Colonel Short following the Civil War.
Down the block and across the street from the Colonel Short's Villa is the Garden District Book Shop. The building that houses the shop was built in 1884 as a wooden-floor, roller-skating rink.
Around the corner from the book store and down Washington Ave. is the Lafayette Cemetery #1. Established in 1832, the cemetery is named for the City of Lafayette, which is what the area was called before it was annexed by New Orleans in 1852. The cemetery takes up an entire city block.
Many of the tombs in the New Orleans area are above ground because of the high water table. Also, many of the tombs contain more than one body. After a person has been dead for at least two years, their remains can be removed from the coffin and placed in a special bag. The bag is then placed either at the back of the tomb or in a compartment in the bottom of the tomb, and the tomb is then ready for another family member.
Down Washington Ave. at the end of the block and across the street from the cemetery is Commander's Palace Restaurant. Emil Commander built a large saloon on the site in 1882. The saloon became one of the top restaurants in the nation. Lunch entrees run from $21 to $30. Don't even ask how much dinners are. Needless to say, we passed on lunch.
Our tour had us turn the corner onto Coliseum St. and head back toward the east. A short distance down Coliseum St. is the Koch-Mays House. This Victorian-style house was built in 1876 for James Eustis, who was a U.S. Senator and Ambassador to France. Today, it reportedly belongs to Sandra Bullock. An interesting feature of this house is the way it has several sections that step back to maximize the amount of sunlight each part of the house gets.
Down at the corner of Coliseum St and Third St. was the Walter Robinson House. When it was built in 1859, it was the first house in New Orleans to have indoor plumbing.
Robinson House was the first in New Orleans to have indoor plumbing when it was built in 1859.
Next, our tour took a two-block jog to the right down Third St. where we came to the Montgomery-Hero House built in 1868 by Archibald Montgomery. This is one of the few houses that has retained a lawn almost completely surrounding the house.
A left turn onto Camp St. and another left onto First St. brought us back to Coliseum St. At the corner of First and Coliseum is the Payne-Strachan House, which was built in 1849. Jefferson Davis, President of the Confederate States of America, died in this house on Dec. 6, 1889.
The last house on our tour we are going to show is the Pritchard-Pigott House. With its four massive, white columns, it is an excellent example of Greek Revival architecture.
Just because the original lots have been subdivided doesn't mean there are no gardens at all. Jasmine was blooming all over the Garden District filling the air with its intoxicating scent.
One house had exotic-looking shell ginger.

We had a very enjoyable time on our self-guided tour of the Garden District. We learned a little more about the city of New Orleans and its history. Freeway had a good time, too. He got to smell lots of new, city smells.
On Tuesday, we hung around the motor home most of the day. Margery went over to the campground laundry and did a couple of loads of wash. The washers and dryers are free, which was really nice since we didn't have sewer hookup and couldn't use our onboard washer/dryer. Paul checked air pressure in the tires and made a couple of other preparations for our departure the next day. In the late afternoon, we ran over to DiMartino's and picked up another muffuletta for dinner. On Wednesday, we headed out to our next destination. We'll tell you all about it in our next post.
As we said in our last post, Mudbug Madness is an annual crawfish festival that runs from Thurday through Sunday of Memorial Day weekend near the Shreveport riverfront. We were downtown too late on Thursday to catch the early afternoon entertainment and too early to catch the evening entertainment, so we headed back into Shreveport around noon on Friday. There are several free lots where you can park, and we didn't have any problem finding a spot.
This year marks the 28th Mudbug Madness, which features Cajun music, Cajun food, and crafts. The event is held in Festival Plaza near the riverfront. Admission is $5 per person, but it's free on Thursday and Friday before 5:00 PM - another good reason to go back on Friday rather than try to go Thursday evening.
Mudbug Madness was started in 1983 when several locals decided to do something about the criticism that Shreveport was located so close to the Texas border it was more like Texas than Louisiana. They started the festival to showcase Louisiana foods, Louisiana music, and Louisiana fun.
On our way into the festival, we stopped for a tourist photo.
There are several entrances to Mudbug Madness, but the one we used was close to where the craft booths are located. We saw leather belts, bird houses, Louisiana-themed paintings, photography, and even hand-rolled cigars.
There was also a fairly big children's area with games, a bounce house, face painting and a stage for children's entertainment.
We stopped briefly at the first of two musical stages that had a group playing rock music.
Then we walked on to where the food booths were. We had tried crawfish once before, and we weren't too sure about them; but we couldn't go to a festival called Mudbug Madness without at least trying them one more time. The only problem was there were so many food booths to choose from, it was hard to decide what to get.
In addition to other Louisiana favorites like boudin (a pork sausage), jambalya, and red beans and rice, there were boiled crawfish, crawfish pies, and crawfish étouffée (pronounced Ā-two-fay). Since boiled crawfish are a lot of work to get at the meat, we decided on crawfish étouffée, which is a crawfish stew served over rice.
The étouffée was good with a nice, rich flavor from the dark-brown roux that was used as a base. But we're still not too sure about crawfish. They're not bad, but we expected them to be sweeter like lobster or langostinos.
Another reason we wanted to go Mudbug Madness was to hear some traditional Louisiana Zydeco music. The name Zydeco comes from a French Creole phrase that means literally "the snap beans aren't salty." The figurative meaning is that times are hard.
Zydeco is a form of folk music that started in southwest Louisiana in the early 1800s. It had Creole, Cajun and African influences, and it usually has a fast beat. The primary instrument in Zydeco music is a button or piano accordion. Another traditional Zydeco instrument is the washboard, which is sometimes incorporated into a specially-made instrument called a vest frottoir that is worn over the shoulders like a bib. Zydeco music has matured over the years and now incorporates elements of R & B, soul, hip hop, jazz, reggae and rock.
The name of the band that was playing at the second musical stage was Cedryl Ballou and the Zydeco Trendsetters. They were very good, including their 12-year old drummer.
As Zydeco music moved from homes to church community centers and finally to rural dance halls and night clubs, the music attracted dancers who incorporated different styles including two-step, waltz, shuffle, and rock and roll. We enjoyed watching several couples who were dancing at the festival.
We had an excellent time at Mudbug Madness sampling Cajun cuisine and listening to Zydeco music. By going on Friday afternoon, not only did we beat the crowds, we also got in for free.
We're hoping for at least one more sightseeing outing before leaving the area, so stay tuned.
In our last post, we mentioned we would be visiting another one of the Louisiana salt-dome islands. At a height of 163 feet above mean sea level, Avery Island is the largest of the five salt domes in this area. Avery Island is completely surrounded by water in the form of bayous, a salt marsh and swamps.
Since Avery Island is surrounded by water, it's only logical someone would come up with a solution to a possible flooding problem. We saw the travel trailer in the photo below just before we got to Avery Island. We're not sure this an example of Cajun ingenuity or of redneck ingenuity, but either way, it looks like it will keep them dry. However, if a flood were expected, you would think it would be easier to just hitch the trailer up and drive away.
Native Americans, as well as early settlers, used to boil water from a natural salt spring on the island to extract the salt. During the Civil War, over 22 million pounds of salt were mined for the Confederacy at Avery Island until Union forces invaded the area and smashed mining equipment and burned buildings. Today, the salt mines are leased to the Cargill Salt Company.
Before the Civil War, Edmund McIlhenney married into the Avery family, who settled on the island in the 1830s. At that time the island was called Ile Petite Anse (French for Small Cove Island).
After the war, Edmund founded the McIlhenny Company and began manufacturing his now famous Tabasco pepper sauce on Avery Island. We'll get to the McIlhenny Company and Tabasco sauce in our next post, but we just wanted to give a little background history before we tell you about Jungle Gardens in this post.
There were large banks of clouds rolling in and out all morning, and just as we got to Avery Island, a large patch of relatively clear sky had just moved in, so we went to Jungle Gardens first because we preferred to go there when it was sunny.
One of Edmund McIlhenny's sons, Edward "Ned" McIlhenny, was a naturalist and conservationist. In the late 1800s, the snowy egret was hunted to near extinction to provide feathers for ladies' hats. Ned created a bird sanctuary and rookery called Bird City in a pond on the island. It was nesting season when we were there, so thousands of birds were nesting at Bird City.
Even though Ned assumed the presidency of McIlhenny Company in 1898, he still found time in the 1920s to convert part of Avery Island in the vicinity of Bird City into a 170-acre garden. He planted specimens of hundreds of varieties of exotic plants from all over the world. He also planted many camellias and azaleas which thrived in the mild Louisiana winters. Jungle Gardens opened to the public in 1935.
As we learned when we visited Jefferson Island, oil frequently occurs near salt domes. Oil was discovered on Avery Island in 1942. Ned stipulated the drilling crews avoid the live oak trees on the island, and that they bury pipelines where possible (or at least paint them green) to minimize the impact of oil production on the beauty of the island. Who says drilling for oil and nature can't co-exist?
Jungle Gardens is a drive-through garden. There are pull-offs and parking areas where you can stop for photos and take short walks to explore further. We have to warn you, if you're planning to get out of the car, or even if you're just planning to just roll down the window for a photo, take along insect repellent. It was hot and humid when we were there, and the mosquitoes were ferocious.
Stapled to the map of the gardens they gave us when we entered was another warning for people who are thinking about getting out of their vehicles. It was a warning about the presence of alligators. Sure enough, as we rounded the first bend into the garden past a small pool, we spotted a 4-foot 'gator.
Unfortunately, both the camellias and azaleas were done blooming when we were there, so we had to be content with just the bayous, ponds, live oaks, and palm trees. They were pretty enough, but we prefer lots of colorful blooms.
The next photo shows Bayou Petite Anse, which runs along the western side of Avery Island.
There were numerous egrets in various parts of the gardens because of the rookery at Bird City. The cattle egret in the next photo is wearing its orange-buff colored mating plumage.
Live oak trees abound in the gardens, but the ancient Cleveland Oak is particularly picturesque. The tree is named for President Grover Cleveland, who supposedly visited Avery Island in 1931.
After we drove through the gardens, we made our way over to the McIlhenny Tabasco factory for a tour. We'll tell you all about it in our next post.

Emma's Move your Butt challenge: Just imagine the pain of losing a loved one
Emma Purchase's gorgeous husband Chris, the father to her two children (Stevie 3.5 years old and Tom 19 months), tragically passed away at the end of February from stage 4 bowel cancer.
His death has inspired Emma to take part in and come onboard as a community ambassador for Move your Butt. Below she asks you to imagine, just for a minute, what's its like to lose a loved one to bowel cancer.
It's been said to me a lot, 'I just can't imagine what you guys are going through'. Or now, 'I just can't imagine how hard it must be for you…'
It's not that you can't imagine… you don't want to… who would? It's too painful.
But just for a second, imagine…
In April 2018, Chris had been having some symptoms that we both concluded were probably haemorrhoids. Pain, a little bit of blood. He saw a white cross doctor first who gave him some cream and said to go back to his GP (Chris didn't have one at the time, because he never got sick) in two weeks if things didn't get better.
Things got worse but Chris waited for those two weeks… he then went to see a GP at the practice I go to and from there was booked in to see a specialist. As the doctor said, anything in that area should be seen to quickly. So off we went for his specialist appointment a week later thinking the (now internal) haemorrhoids would be sorted out. I watched while the specialist examined Chris, which for him was excruciatingly painful. There was a lot of blood.
From that small examination, Chris was told that he had cancer.
Chris was 36 years old.
I was 16 weeks pregnant.
Stevie was only 18 months old.
Just imagine hearing the love of your life call their parents to tell them the news, watch them cry because they don't want to die, cry because they don't want to leave their children, cry because they are absolutely terrified, cry because they have cancer.
The next part feels endless, relentless… imagine constant hospital visits, appointments, knock backs, bad news, new plans, more hospital visits, trying to pick yourself up, stay hopeful, to then have more bad news, more procedures, operations, more treatment, trying to raise money for an unfunded drug… all the while trying to live some form of a normal life for your partner/your children… for yourself.
And then for the unlucky ones, after all that trying to live, putting up with all the poking and prodding, tubes coming out of everywhere, doing everything they can to just have some more time, just like that, they're gone.
No more kisses goodnight, no more I love you, no more texts, no more silly banter, no more birthday celebrations, no more wedding anniversaries, no more unconditional love.
Desperately clinging to the smell of their jumper, trying to remember the sound of their voice, wishing they'd walk through the door, crying yourself to sleep because of how much you miss them, feeling guilty for things left unsaid, wishing you could have done more to keep them alive…
Chris went through so much and just under two years, his big strong body became just skin and bones… he put up with it all because he was so determined to live, he didn't want to die, he had so many things he still wanted to do. He wanted to see his children grown-up, go for another surf, take us all on holiday.
He was so hopeful, so stubborn, far too young.
I know Chris wouldn't have wanted me to dwell on him being gone though, I know he wants us to live life even harder than we did before. There is still joy, I still feel happiness, I still laugh, I still love and that is why I'm moving my butt for him, to raise awareness about bowel cancer.
Thankfully, some people diagnosed with bowel cancer get "lucky", their cancer is caught sooner, their treatments work, their cancer can be cut out. But even still it doesn't just end when the cancer is gone, it doesn't just end when the cancer has killed another beautiful son or daughter, husband or wife, mummy or daddy, a best friend.
For so many, all you need is your imagination, you will never have to actually endure the pain we went through, the pain I am going through, what others are about to encounter.
But just imagine…

The Pioneer Generation Package (PGP) is a S$9 billion package launched by the Government of Singapore in 2014, aimed at helping pioneering Singaporeans to meet retirement adequacy. PGP is designed as a series of healthcare and social support schemes to show gratitude towards pioneer Singaporeans for their contributions to Singapore during the nation's nascency. The package covers approximately 450,000 pioneer Singaporeans over an estimated 20-year period.

The package defines a "Pioneer" as a Singaporean born on or before 31 December 1949 and obtained citizenship before 31 December 1986. The Pioneer Generation Office was set up in 2014 to educate seniors about the PGP. This office was merged with the Agency for Integrated Care and renamed the Silver Generation Office from 1 April 2018 and will be managed by the Ministry of Health in a bid to streamline care for the elderly.

Benefits

Medisave Top Ups
Under the PGP, pioneers will receive S$200 – S$800 Medisave top-ups yearly for life. Those born between 1945 – 1949 will receive S$200 a year, while those born in 1934 and earlier will receive S$800 a year.  The first top-ups were automatically credited into Pioneer's Medisave accounts in August 2014.

MediShield Life
Seniors will receive subsidies for their MediShield Life premiums. MediShield is the universal health insurance scheme that covers all Singaporeans for life. The subsidies range from 40% discount for those aged 65 to 60% discounts for those aged 90.

Outpatient Bills
Pioneers will receive an additional 50% discount off their net bill for subsidised services and medications at Specialist Outpatient Clinics (SOCs) and polyclinics. Pioneers will also be included under Community Health Assist Scheme (CHAS), a scheme introduced in 2012 that subsidises visits to participating general practitioners and dentists. There are around 1,650 CHAS clinics in Singapore and more than 97% of CHAS or Pioneer Generation Package card holders have more than one CHAS clinic within 1 km of their homes or around 15 minutes by public transportation.

Disabilities Assistance
The Pioneer Generation Disability Scheme provides $1,200 cash for those suffering from moderate to severe functional disabilities. This is defined as those who need assistance for three out of six of daily living activities like washing, dressing, feeding, toiling, mobility and transferring.

Communication and Outreach
In order to reach the pioneer citizens, the Ministry of Communications and Information and the 22 member task force — involving policy makers, the private sector health care institutions and voluntary welfare organisations —  who were focused on communication and outreach of the PGP turned to broadcast media on top of the traditional print advertisements. They also set up the Pioneer Generation Ambassador pilot where ambassadors go door-to-door to raise awareness of the package.

Pioneer Generation Ambassadors
The Pioneer Generation Ambassador (PGA) Programme was set up on 1 August 2014. The PGA are volunteers who are tasked to engage Pioneers and their caregivers to explain the benefits of the PGP. By the end of November 2016, PGAs have successfully visited three in four pioneers to offer personalised resources and information. Since July 2015, PGAs have been tasked to expand their reach to all senior citizens above age 65 to connect them to community activities, to provide details on MediShield Life and other related support measures. During each visit, PGA inquire about Pioneer's health in order to offer personalised explanations of PGP and other healthcare policies according to the unique situation of each senior. In subsequent visits, PGA follow up with relevant health conditions to assess the need for further explanation or assistance.

Mass Communication Efforts
The communication and outreach of the PGP turned to broadcast media on top of the traditional print advertisements that the Government were accustomed to adopting. The Ministry of Communications and Information produced a series of videos and communication materials to inform the pioneers of the benefits of the package. The videos adopted familiar languages, formats and activities such as dialects, fortune telling, getai and mahjong.

Effectiveness and Sentiments
Based on Ministry of Communications and Information's survey conducted in August 2015, 96% of Pioneers were aware of the PGP and 87% felt assured that their healthcare costs would be made more affordable.

At The Age Of 7, This Kid Is The Youngest Surgeon In The World
Writer: The Logical Indian
The Logical Indian
See article by The Logical Indian
5 April 2016 1:14 PM GMT
Editor : The Logical Indian
Akrit Jaswal performed surgery on 19th November 2000 at the age of 7 and became the youngest surgeon in the world. He was born in Nurrpur, Himachal Pradesh. Akrit developed a passion for science and anatomy at an early age. Doctors at local hospitals took notice and started allowing him to observe surgeries when he was seven years old. An impoverished family unable to pay for regular healthcare heard about his amazing abilities and asked if he would operate on their daughter. The girl was badly burned as a toddler, her fingers had fused together and curled into a knotted ball. Her shepherd family could not afford surgery. Akrit Jaswal operated, successfully, on the eight-year-old girl to release her fingers. There are some people who astonish the world by their work and act. Akrit Jaswal is one of them. At the age of 10 months, this kid started walking and talking. At the age of 5, he was reading Shakespeare, which is certainly not easy for an average boy of his age and this boy has the highest IQ of 146 in India. Being the youngest surgeon, Akrit has gained the reputation of medical genius. Akrit was sponsored and mentored by Mr. B. R. Rahi the Chairman of Secondary Education in Dharamshala. At 12, Akrit was studying for a science degree at Chandigarh College University of Punjab. He is the youngest student ever accepted by an Indian University. Akrit got the World attention for his keenness to find the cure of cancer. The 'Firecracker Films' that investigated the story about Akrit invited him to London and there he met leading medical researchers. Akrit is indeed an exceptional medical marvel, who is focused on finding a cure for cancer. Currently, he is 23 yrs of age and has completed Bioengineering from IIT Kanpur.
The Logical Take Akrit is undoubtedly a gem of India working for a great cause for the larger benefit of people. At such young age, he has attained many achievements and still working for humanity. He is certainly a source of inspiration and motivation to all the people above his age. At the same time, we don't support idea of any boy of 7 performing surgery.

Did ancient Panamanian islanders hunt dolphins?
Scientists think the fast-swimming dolphins would have been too difficult for the islanders and other precolumbian peoples to track and spear in their canoes.

PANAMA CITY, Panama, Jan. 7 (UPI) -- Researchers have found more evidence that ancient Panamanian islanders consumed dolphins, but it remains unclear whether these seafaring people systematically hunted the mammals.
Archaeological digs on Pedro Gonzalez Island, part of the Pearl Island archipelago, showed at least 8 percent of the mammal remains found among prehistoric scrap heaps belonged to dolphins. It's the only place in Central America where dolphins have been shown to account for a sizable portion of the local diet.
"This raises intriguing questions," archaeologist Richard Cooke, staff scientist at the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute, said in a press release. "Were the island's first known inhabitants dolphin hunters or did they merely scavenge beached animals?"
Precolumbian seafarers made the 40-mile trek from the mainland to the Pearl Islands some 6,000 years ago -- most likely in dugout canoes. Remains of their settlements show they were predominately consumers of fish, turtles and shellfish, suggesting they were able fishermen, but shark and dolphin bones are also present.
RELATED Greek dig reveals past glories of Europe's oldest city
Researchers found a puncture wound in the skull of one ancient dolphin specimen, but say there's not enough evidence to say for sure whether these early Panamanian islanders hunted dolphins.
The upwelling of nutrient-rich water in the Gulf of Panama brings larges schools of fish -- and the hungry dolphins following them -- close to the shores of the archipelago. But scientists think the fast-swimming dolphins would have been too difficult for the islanders and other precolumbian peoples to track and spear in their canoes.
Did the islanders simply harvest beached dolphins? Cooke and his colleagues don't think beached dolphins are enough to explain the large quantity of dolphin remains found on Pedro Gonzalez Island.
RELATED USGS publishes first digital geologic map of Alaska
An alternative theory is that the islanders waited for sharks to drive dolphins close to shore and then trapped them using their canoes -- disorienting them with splashing and noise until they were exhausted and ultimately beached.
Researchers shared their theory in a new paper on the latest findings on the islands, published this week in the Journal of Archaeological Science: Reports.
The dolphin-eating people disappeared about 800 years after settling the archipelago. They were resettled by new groups a few thousand years later. Later peoples showed no evidence of dolphin consumption, but Cooke believes they likely were hunting and eating the marine mammal.
RELATED Sand tiger shark nursery found in Long Island's Great South Bay
"I would argue, though it's speculative, that the retention of dolphin hunting is probably due to an early circum-Pacific maritime adaptation by humans," Cooke explained. "Even though with the data we have we cannot really prove they were hunting. But the age of the site puts it at a time when people all around the Pacific Rim -- in Mexico, Chile and Japan -- were hunting dolphins."

Music and the Spoken Word: Gifts of Christmas
By Deseret News Dec 3, 2016, 8:00pm MST
Share All sharing options for: Music and the Spoken Word: Gifts of Christmas
Noticing the needs of others and reaching out to them in love is really what makes Christmas so special.
Adobe Stock 49098764
Editor's note: "The Spoken Word" is shared by Lloyd Newell each Sunday during the weekly Mormon Tabernacle Choir broadcast. This will be given Dec. 4, 2016.
There's something undeniably special about Christmastime. It's a season of beloved songs and stories, of treasured memories and traditions.
People of all faiths and cultures can sense that something changes for the better at this time of year. In the most personal and intimate ways, Christmas brings people together.
And yet, for this very reason, Christmas can also be a time of profound loneliness for some. What brings joy and cheer to some families reminds others of what they lack.
So many are in need, so many could use some cheer, so many wait for a visit, an invitation, a phone call — especially during this season. After all, noticing the needs of others and reaching out to them in love is really what makes Christmas so special.
A mother and father learned this truth as they raised their family. Their four children, like all children, always looked forward to opening Christmas presents. But their parents noticed that they were even more excited, more deeply joyful, when their widowed grandmother joined them on Christmas Eve.
It has become a tradition now going on 25 years — Grandma joins them for a special evening meal, and they laugh as they remember Christmases past. Then the family reads about the birth of Jesus in a lowly manger and the angels who invited humble shepherds to come see him. They talk and think about how his birth changed the world and what that means to them today.
Almost every year, Grandma says, "I don't need any gifts for Christmas; I just want to be with you." Being together is what makes Christmas Christmas. Even though some of the children have now grown and moved away, across the miles they are still together, and Grandma is still with them, every Christmas.
No matter our circumstances, we can reach out in love to others — especially those who may be forgotten or lonely. Buying a present for someone is easy. But being present for someone is almost always more meaningful.
More than a gift or a card, they need you — your loving concern, your kindhearted inclusion, your time. These are the greatest, most meaningful gifts of Christmas.

More annual drink drive campaign court results
Northamptonshire Police has released court results regarding those who were charged with drink driving as part of its annual winter campaign to tackle offending during the FIFA World Cup 2022 and over the festive period.

Q: how to get back some text from a calling activity I have an activity that Call another activity for filling an address and second activity should send back the address for the first activity and show it in a textview in first activity
i used these codes
but i dont know why it s not working
first activity:
 Intent in = new Intent(getApplicationContext(),ShippingActivity.class);
            startActivity(in);

    @Override
    protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
        super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);

        if(requestCode == RESULT_OK){
            tvDeliverTo.setText(data.getStringExtra("DeliveryAdressKEY"));
        }
    }

and second activity
   Intent in = new Intent();
    in.putExtra("DeliveryAdressKEY", tvAdress.getText().toString());
    setResult(RESULT_OK, in);
    finish();

thanks in advance

A: You need to start the second activity with startActivityForResult:
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/Activity.html#startActivityForResult%28android.content.Intent,%20int%29
In onActivityResult, you should also check the resultCode is RESULT_OK, rather than the requestCode.

A: I believe you should be using startActivityForResult() instead of startActivity().

A: first activity
Intent in = new Intent(getApplicationContext(),ShippingActivity.class);
            startActivityForResult(in, 0);

    @Override
    protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
        super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);

        if(requestCode == 0){
            if(resultCode ==1){
tvDeliverTo.setText(data.getStringExtra("DeliveryAdressKEY"));
            }
        }
    }

and second activity
Intent in = new Intent();
in.putExtra("DeliveryAdressKEY", tvAdress.getText().toString());
setResult(1, in);
finish();

and now is working
