Tax Update: The Status of 5 Key States
By: Amanda Dolasinski
READ Georgia MOAA President COL Paul Wingo USA (Ret) interview below!
Is your state still fully taxing retirement pay? MOAA National serves in an advisory capacity for state-specific issues such as income tax exemption. Please contact your local MOAA council as state legislation must originate at the state level.
Advocates in two states have pledged to keep pushing to exempt military retiree pay from state income tax after the COVID-19 pandemic halted efforts.
Proposed legislation in Vermont, where military retiree pay is fully taxed at the state level, would have provided a full tax exemption. In Georgia, a lawmaker proposed a bill that would offer a phased-in exemption.
[NEWLY UPDATED: MOAA's Military State Report Card and Tax Guide]
Legislation on exemptions in both states stalled when lawmakers ended sessions early to mitigate the spread of coronavirus.
In Vermont, state Rep. Daniel Noyes was able to get legislation for an exemption introduced by pegging it as an economic development strategy.
Noyes said the exemption, although decreasing state revenue, likely would have an overall benefit for the state because it would attract people who will spend money. It will also shore up the state's aging workforce, which has been a challenged to fill emergency responder and firefighter jobs.
"Veterans are skilled workers who typically look for other employment opportunities after the military," Noyes said. "This cohort of individuals coming out of the military is the kind of people we'd love to see immigrate to Vermont."
There are about 3,900 military retirees eligible for a pension in Vermont. The average pension in Vermont is about $22,300, and state income tax can take up to 4%.
Vermont is one of the few states that doesn't have a tax break for military retiree pay. The proposed move from full taxation to full exemption would mirror actions taken by North Dakota, which made the change starting with the 2019 tax year.
Georgia Bill Update
Meanwhile in Georgia, lawmakers proposed two bills in an effort to give military retirees a tax break. The first, which may not be reintroduced, would grant a full, immediate exemption, while the second would phase in an exemption over 10 years.
State Sen. Zahra Karinshak sent a bill that would grant the full exemption, which was originally introduced in the 2019 legislative session, to the Department of Audit and Accounts for review. She has not said if she will refile the bill.
That bill could result in state revenue loss of $80.5 million to $131.5 million, with retroactive pay from Jan. 1, 2019, according to fiscal researchers.
In a similar bill, an exemption would be phased in by 10% starting at age 50 and increasing 10% until age 59, when retirees would receive 100% exemption.
Col. Paul Wingo, USA (Ret), President of MOAA's Georgia Council of Chapters, said every MOAA chapter in the state has been actively pursuing lawmakers to approve the exemption. Coronavirus wrinkled their efforts, but they will keep going, he said.
"I have been reassured by my particular senator it will be reintroduced next year," he said. "We're confident it will still be on the table."
Georgia is home to about 91,262 military retirees, according to a report. About 55% of those retirees were age 62 or older and already subject to a tax exclusion that is granted for all Georgia taxpayers in that age range.
Wingo said a plethora of Georgia's jobs are near bordering states Alabama and Florida, which are appealing to veterans because of breaks on income tax. Offering an exemption on state income tax would entice more veterans to choose Georgia, he said. And, just like Vermont, Georgia is looking for educated, talented people to bolster its workforce, especially in classrooms, hospitals, and airports.
"All the states around us have exemptions, so we're trying to convince (legislators)," Wingo said. "We know the revenue the state would normally receive would be overcome by the number of soldiers retiring that we can keep."
3) TOGETHER AGAIN - for Veterans Families!
Members of MOAA's Old Capitol Area Chapter understand how difficult it can be with the separation that comes when the need arises for a loved one to enter into assisted care. We want to make it easier for family members of veterans to attend to their loved ones in their time of need. Often, that time comes when we are the least prepared for it. That is true whether the loved one is a resident of the Georgia War Veteran Home or is being cared for elsewhere.
The Georgia War Veterans Home in Milledgeville serves the entire state meaning that it can be difficult to visit. To assist, the Old Capitol Area Chapter has stepped forward to establish TOGETHER AGAIN, offering comfort and facilitating lodging arrangements for family members in need. Inspired by Fisher House's Hotels for Heroes program, working with other veterans' organizations and the public, we are easing the financial burden on family members in gratitude for their service to country. As a Military Officers Association of America chapter, we recognize the effort we all share that comes with military service, whether it has been a single tour of duty or a career, whether it has been service through active duty, National Guard, or the Reserve components, or whether it has been as a Gold Star, Silver Star, or Blue Star family, all have served under the same flag, the stars and stripes of the United States of America. We are being blessed with organizations and agencies that have voluntarily stepped forward to say they want to contribute to bring veterans families TOGETHER AGAIN.
Community partners are helping by offering Milledgeville Milly Money for use with merchants throughout downtown, and by innkeeper offerings of discounted lodging for families while they visit residents of the Georgia War Veterans Home. Veterans also are a part of our program.
The Military Officers Association of America Foundation provided a grant to start up the program and see to its initial operation. The Old Capitol Area Chapter of MOAA is providing for the promotion, operation and maintenance of the program with the assistance of the statewide Georgia MOAA. Other veterans' organizations have expressed an interest in supporting the program and are offering pledges. We would like to see the TOGETHER AGAIN initiative become a movement. The need most likely exists elsewhere to bring veterans in assisted living accommodations together with their families.
We hope that our program can serve as a model for community partnerships and veterans' organization cooperation to provide a way to bring veterans and their families TOGETHER AGAIN.

NEVER STOP SERVING
The Attack on Pearl Harbor[nb 3][11] was a surprise military strike by the Imperial Japanese Navy Air Service upon the United States (a neutral country at the time) against the naval base at Pearl Harbor in Honolulu, Territory of Hawaii, just before 08:00, on Sunday morning, December 7, 1941. The attack led to the United States' formal entry into World War II the next day. The Japanese military leadership referred to the attack as the Hawaii Operation and Operation AI,[12][13] and as Operation Z during its planning.[14] Japan intended the attack as a preventive action to keep the United States Pacific Fleet from interfering with its planned military actions in Southeast Asia against overseas territories of the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, and the United States. Over the course of seven hours there were coordinated Japanese attacks on the U.S.-held Philippines, Guam, and Wake Island and on the British Empire in Malaya, Singapore, and Hong Kong.[15]
The attack commenced at 7:48 a.m. Hawaiian Time (18:18 GMT).[nb 4][16] The base was attacked by 353[17] Imperial Japanese aircraft (including fighters, level and dive bombers, and torpedo bombers) in two waves, launched from six aircraft carriers.[17] Of the eight U.S. Navy battleships present, all were damaged, with four sunk. All but USS Arizona were later raised, and six were returned to service and went on to fight in the war. The Japanese also sank or damaged three cruisers, three destroyers, an anti-aircraft training ship,[nb 5] and one minelayer. A total of 188 U.S. aircraft were destroyed; 2,403 Americans were killed and 1,178 others were wounded.[19] Important base installations such as the power station, dry dock, shipyard, maintenance, and fuel and torpedo storage facilities, as well as the submarine piers and headquarters building (also home of the intelligence section) were not attacked. Japanese losses were light: 29 aircraft and five midget submarines lost, and 64 servicemen killed. Kazuo Sakamaki, the commanding officer of one of the submarines, was captured.[20]
Japan announced a declaration of war on the United States later that day (December 8 in Tokyo), but the declaration was not delivered until the following day. The following day, December 8, Congress declared war on Japan. On December 11, Germany and Italy each declared war on the U.S., which responded with a declaration of war against Germany and Italy. There were numerous historical precedents for the unannounced military action by Japan, but the lack of any formal warning, particularly while peace negotiations were still apparently ongoing, led President Franklin D. Roosevelt to proclaim December 7, 1941, "a date which will live in infamy".

The Japanese navy attacked the US fleet at Pearl Harbor 79 years ago, bringing the US into World War II with a devastating blow.
Now it's possible to compare Pearl Harbor's present-day idyllic settings with the scenes on that "day of infamy" eight decades years ago.
On December 7, 1941, the US Navy fleet stationed at Pearl Harbor in Hawaii suffered a devastating attack from the air and sea.
The Japanese assault began at 7:48 a.m., resulting in the death of 2,402 Americans, numerous injuries, the sinking of four battleships and damage to many more.
Surprised US service members who normally may have slept in on that Sunday morning or enjoyed some recreation instead found themselves fighting for their lives.
In 2013, the US Navy remembered the "day of infamy" with a series of photographs that compared scenes from that horrifying day to the present.
The photos, prepared by Navy Public Affairs Support Element West, Det. Hawaii, were accompanied by a nearly five-minute video.
Here are the photos:

TEHRAN, March 21, YJC-Russia has vehemently dismissed a Reuters report which claims it is constructing a military base in the Afrin district of Syria's Aleppo Province in alliance with the Kurdish militia controlling the area.
TEHRAN, Young Journalists Club (YJC) -"There are no plans to establish new Russian bases on the territory of the Syrian Arab Republic," a statement by the Russian Defense Ministry said Monday.
Moscow, however, said it will use a facility in northeastern Syria to observe the implementation of a previously-agreed ceasefire and negotiate local truces between various warring factions there.
"In accordance with the Russian-Turkish agreement signed on December 30, 2016, the Russian Center of Reconciliation carries out round-the-clock ceasefire monitoring. To prevent the violation of the ceasefire, one of the branches of the center has been set up near Afrin, in a spot bordering the territory held by the Kurdish militias, and that under the command of the Turkish-controlled Free Syrian Army," the statement noted.
On Monday, Reuters cited a spokesman for Kurdish People's Protection Units (YPG) as saying that Russia had signed an agreement with the YPG to set up a military base in Afrin.
"An agreement was signed between our units and Russian forces operating in Syria that will train us in modern military tactics," YPG spokesman Redur Xelil.
"This is the first agreement of its kind, although we have had previous cooperation [with the Russians] in Aleppo city," he added.
He said the agreement was part "of the framework of the fight against terrorism," adding that it was signed on Sunday and came into effect on Monday.
Xelil noted that Russian troops were already present at the training camp in the Afrin region, one of the three "autonomous" cantons which is under the control of Kurdish authorities.
The United States, which also backs the Syrian Kurds, has also denied any knowledge of a proposed base.
"Not that I am aware of," Pentagon spokesman Captain Jeff Davis said at a media briefing, in response to a question about any coordination between Moscow and Washington on the deployment of new troops in the area.
It is likely that a Russian agreement with the YPG, who are currently in control of nearly all of Syria's entire northern border with Turkey, would anger Ankara.
Turkey considers the Kurdish forces to be a "terrorist" group and an extension of the outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK).
The YPG make up the bulk of the so-called Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), a US-backed coalition of fighters who have seized swathes of territory from Daesh in northern Syria.
Founded in October 2015, the SDF is comprised mostly of Syrian Kurds, numbering at least 25,000. It receives equipment, weapons and air support from the US.
Washington has been sponsoring anti-Damascus groups operating in Syria by labeling them as "moderate" militants.


It should come as no surprise that democracy is alive and well.
It should also not come as a surprise to finally discover that every vote counts, that you as an individual can make a very large difference in an election outcome.
And for those who don't vote in a country where voting is optional, well, there's no complaining when the result of an election doesn't go your way.
I've always believed my single vote counted for nothing.
… and that could be a good thing or a bad thing.
An idea had popped into my head, fired up from seeing the news on television. I don't normally look at the news if I can help it because usually its all bad, deaths, fires, drugs, and worst of all, politics.
This item was the equivalent of a two paragraph 'mention' buried on page six of the newspaper.
It was the umpteenth variation of a common story, wife having an affair, wife murdered, and, after seeing so many American and English cop shows, assumed the husband would be the number one suspect, no children involved mercifully, but there was something else going on, something I thought I could read between the lines.
I'm not sure why it captured my imagination, but it did, and it swirled around in my head for about a week.
Then, out came a pad and pen and I started to write.
I put myself in the place of the husband and tried to imagine what it was like.
A week or so later, another small paragraph appeared on page five, getting closer to the front page.
No names still because I assume the relative had not been tracked down.
But this alluded to something else as being the cause, and it was the manner of the death that warranted further investigation.
Rest assured I'll be scouring the papers for the next 'clue'.
It has any number of names, from Leave of Absence to Vacation, but it is meant to be a time where you can rest and relax.
And by the time you finally get to go away, preferably somewhere as far from home as possible, you are sure ready for it.
As anyone will tell you, it's not wise to travel the next day if at all possible, because you need some time to decompress before tackling what sometimes can be an arduous getting to the final destination, especially if it is at a peak holiday period, or on planes where anything and everything can go wrong very quickly.
We traveled the next day, nothing went wrong, and all is fine.
As a writer and having spent the last few months finishing off my last novel, I was looking forward to some down time. The editor has the final draft, and I'm happy.
Inspiration often comes out of left field; something happens, a piece in a newspaper, an item on TV, or just lying down staring at the ceiling, when 'bang' it hits you.
The start of a story, a theme that you can run with.
I've been away for four days now and written seven chapters and the words will not stop.
Hey, what a great title for the story.
Sorry, got to get back to work!

Boasting the sleek matte black finish it has a stylish ¼ turn lever on the side and a slightly thinner outlet for your filtered water to flow out of. The Aeon square neck faucet will not go un-noticed in your home or office kitchen and will be a great addition.

Joe & Lindsey Anderson
Joe and Lindsey Anderson direct Kids for Christ, Teens for Christ, and Homemakers for Christ ministries in under-resourced urban communities in Dallas. Their strategy is to draw children into kids' clubs that meet in apartment complexes and other community centers to encourage and mentor them throughout their lives with kids, teens, adults, and senior outreaches, neighborhood transformational ministry, and local church partnership and planting. These ministries seek to train leaders to carry on the work in communities throughout the Dallas area. Joe and Lindsey also serve as InFaith area coordinators for the state of Texas.
Our Self
Joe and Lindsey Anderson serve in Dallas, Texas, an area with many under-resourced urban communities. This area is in desperate need of long-term, community-based missionaries.
After seeing the need for community-based missionaries in their Dallas neighborhood, the Andersons began serving children, teens, and adults through a number of ministries in under-resourced urban communities. Their main goal is to produce a "gospel eco-system" through partnerships within the community.
The Andersons direct their Kids for Christ, Teens for Christ, and Homemakers for Christ ministries in inner city Dallas. Their strategy is to draw children into kids' clubs that meet in apartment complexes and other community centers to encourage and mentor them throughout their lives with kids, teens, adults, and senior outreaches, neighborhood transformational ministry, and local church partnership and planting.
These ministries also seek to train leaders to carry on the work in communities throughout the Dallas area. Site leaders take a relational approach to ministry, which has allowed them to walk through times of crisis with the young people who have been growing through the team's ministries. Many of these leaders are products of the Andersons' ministries.
Joe and Lindsey also serve as area coordinators for the state of Texas. InFaith field staff members under the Andersons' care serve in refugee ministry; police, military and hospital chaplaincies; and church, camp, and inner city ministry.
The Andersons have served as InFaith field staff since 2005.
Joe has a B.A. from Criswell Bible College, an M.A. in Clinical Christian Counseling from Cornerstone University, and an M.A. in Christian Leadership from Dallas Theological Seminary. He enjoys serving on the local Little League Board, and coaches his sons' baseball team. He is also a Den leader for his son's Cub Scouts Pack, leading over twenty boys and their parents through character and leader development and helpful community service. The Andersons have four children.
Joe and Lindsey grew up in the ministries they are now leading with InFaith. They really enjoy the long-term committed relationships of residents and ministry partners living in their InFaith ministry communities. One of the communities where they lead, Roseland Homes, has been an InFaith ministry site for over thirty years and continues to be a place of genuine, transformational, exciting, challenging, and growing ministry. Joe and Lindsey see opportunities for outreach and discipleship everywhere in their neighborhood, community, city, metroplex, and state.

Disenchanted Trailer: Amy Adams In Disney's Musical Fantasy: Watch
Posted on September 10, 2022 September 10, 2022 inDISNEY +, MOVIE TRAILERS, MOVIESLeave a comment
Disney released the first trailer for 'Disenchanted' starring Amy Adams. The live-action film is a sequel to the 2007 film Enchanted. The film is scheduled to be released on November 24, 2022 behalf of Thanksgiving as a Disney+ exclusive film. Watch the trailer below.
Disenchanted plot synopsis follows, "Fifteen years after her happily ever after, Giselle, Robert, and Morgan move to a new house in the suburb of Monroeville. The community is overseen by Malvina Monroe, who has nefarious intentions for the family. When problems arise, Giselle wishes that their lives were the perfect fairy tale. The spell backfires, with Giselle rushing to save her family and her homeland of the Kingdom of Andalasia before the clock strikes midnight."
During an appearance on The Tonight Show in September 2021, Amy Adams told The Tonight Show "The last time I really danced as much as I'm required to dance in this, I was in my 20s and now I'm not in my 20s," she told Jimmy Kimmel. "It feels different in your 40s. In my heart, I look like I'm in my 20s when I'm dancing, and then I would watch playback and be like, 'Whoa, that's not the same.'"
Directed by Adam Shankman from a screenplay written by Brigitte Hales. The film stars Amy Adams as Giselle Philip, Patrick Dempsey as Robert Philip, James Marsden as King Edward, Idina Menzel as Nancy Tremaine, Maya Rudolph as Malvina Monroe, Gabriella Baldacchino as Morgan Philip, Yvette Nicole Brown as Rosaleen, Jayma Mays as Ruby, Kolton Stewart as Christ, and Oscar Nunez as Edgar.
At the D23 Expo, Shankman spoke to THR that he praise Amy Adams and Maya Rudolph's performances and teases epic musical numbers in 'Disenchanted'. Alan Menken and Stephen Schwartz return, as the film's songwriters, and Menken again composes the score.

Google renews its Home Mini series with a Nest re-brand
The Google Nest Mini. (Source: Google)
The Nest Mini is a new Connected Home devices launched by Google at its latest live event. It is a smart speaker with integrated Assistant functions and touch controls. It is now up for pre-order at a price of US$49.

Accessory Android Smart Home Smartphone Software
The Nest Mini can be seen as a successor to the original Google Home Mini, a smart speaker designed for what the Mountain View giant calls the "Connected Home". It has been launched at the Made by Google 2019 event. This device has Bluetooth 5.0, Chromecast and 802.11ac dual-band Wi-Fi to carry out its Assistant functions.
Google claims that, with its new array of 3 far-field microphones, the Nest Mini can hear queries and commands from farther away than ever before. It also has new Voice Match technology in order to tell one household member from another. Its 40mm driver gives it 360-degree sound, and confers what Google claims to be 40% more bass compared to the Home Mini.
Therefore, it should be heard (and hear) regardless of where it is placed in the home. On the other hand, it now comes with a wall mount for potential extra convenience The Nest Mini comes in a fabric finish, which is made using 100% recycled materials. This new smart speaker comes in Coral, Charcoal, Chalk or Sky colors, and can be preordered from now. However, it will not ship until October 22, 2019.

Hugh Laurie, 53, looks a lot older now: would you still hit this silver fox?
By Celebitchy
Those of you who know me know that I have a thing for bald men. Think Jason Statham, Bruce Willis, The Rock, LL Cool J. (This lousy Monday just started to pick up.) Our hottest, most kick ass action stars are bald dudes who own it, and while I prefer a chrome dome I don't mind some male pattern baldness as long as the guy keeps his hair short. So in theory I should be all over these photos of Hugh Laurie with short hair, but I think the gray hair is throwing me off. He looks really old all of a sudden. He's 53 now, I know my Hugh Laurie crush shouldn't just fade away because he's aging naturally. I would still hit it though, especially when I hear him talk. It's not just the accent, it's how funny and self-effacing he is.
Hugh has been focusing on his music career post-House, although he does have some films coming out and I'll cover that in a moment. He has a new interview with an Australian radio station, I think it's promote his second blues album, Didn't It Rain, which is out May 6 in the UK. He doesn't say anything particularly noteworthy, but I like how honest he always sounds, and how he's in no way full of himself. He's just doing his thing, and he sounds grateful that we're paying attention.
"I'm a man who does a lot, that's not the same as having talents," says Hugh Laurie, who may well have competed in rowing at the 1984 Olympics were it not for comedy.
"It was certainly a possiblility that I was going to devote my energies to.
"In the end I got diverted by a spot of acting… you don't have to get up so early and it's frankly not painful," he says.
That was his first slice of luck, and once he experienced the feeling of performing in front of an audience AND making that audience laugh, he was addicted.
"I discovered there was a great pleasure to be had in making people laugh…
"There are probably all kinds of twisted psychological reasons as to why that's the case, but it is a big accomplishment and an addictive sensation."
Another slice of luck came in the form of the TV series 'House', in which Hugh Laurie was able to reinvent himself as the unconventional Dr Gregory House for eight seasons.
"It's quite rare for an actor to have the opportunity to do something like that without the audience having any associations or any expectations.
"I think it took people by surprise, they didn't know what to make of it. And that's a good way to see anything."
Then came the music career.
He's about to release his second album, 'Didn't it Rain'. And it's almost like the career has come full circle, after he had music lessons as a child, hated them, then took them up again in his teens.
And no, music is his 'everything'.
"It's my companion and friend. It's also my daily sudoku and crossword puzzle.
"The piano is a wonderful companion," he reflects.
After a varied career, Hugh Laurie says he has no regrets.
"I honestly don't think that there's any moment where I wish that the dice had fallen differently. The only things I wish for are that maybe I had appreciated things more at the time that they really mattered.
"But i'm not complaining," he says.
[From ABC.Net.au]
Hugh didn't bring up his rowing career – the interviewer did, and he was very low-key and humble about it, as we've come to expect from him. I love to see Hugh interviewed and I find him more attractive as himself than as the crotchety Dr. House. He never did it for me in character, but Hugh himself is lovely. I'm just surprised to find that I like him better with hair. That usually isn't the case for me.
See, here's Hugh with hair at the House wrap party last year. Maybe he didn't want to bother with his hair and considered it part of his "House" character.
This is my favorite look for him. With hair and clean shaven. This was just a year ago as well. He was probably wearing a piece though.
Here's a trailer for Hugh's upcoming film Mr. Pip, based on a novel by Lloyd Jones. It doesn't have a release date yet. He's also going to shoot a Disney film in Vancouver this summer called Tomorrowland, with George Clooney.
Update: More photos of Hugh in Paris today.

T.Fanty says:
No, but I love him dearly. He will forever be this man to me:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hOSYiT2iG08
He is an old 53. He looks like he's in his 60′s…
Agree. He looks like an old man, and 53 is not old.
Flower says:
He looks ill, did I read somewhere that he suffers from depression?
Eleonor says:
Hugh is a very gifted actor, I am going to miss him A LOT, even if House was a total mess after the third (or fourth?) season.
And I'd love to see him as guest star on Mad Men!
He really does look older without his piece on, doesn't he? I used to be so hot for him, but in this latest look, eh . . .I feel fickle now. I'll have to see him in something and see how I feel.
He really is a talented musician as well as an actor. I still enjoy re-watching old episodes of A Bit of Fry and Laurie where he sings and plays the piano. And of course, who can forget Bertie Wooster singing and playing "Minnie the Moocher" with such panache? Good times.
Anyway, I'll give his album a try.
Sade says:
Young Hugh was hot and so very funny. I pity american audiences who only know him from dramatic roles. You done good for yourself, Hugh
wonderwoman21 says:
I'm american, but i have seen him in his role of bertie wooster in jeeves and wooster. Very funny stuff
LAK says:
He will always be the Prince Regent in Black adder for me.
mind you, Bertie was a riot too.
I had such a crush on him in black adder. The final episode of the last series tore my poor pre-pubescent heart apart. The scene where they all leave the bunker and there are gunshot sounds, groaning and the scene fades into afield of red poppies. Seeing your childhood crush klled is torture for a kid. Memories! What a brave and poignant ending to a comedic series, btw.
hazeldazel says:
Oh god, that was so sad! Blackadder was how I first knew Hugh Laurie and of course the WWI season was my fave (well and the Regency one), but the finale is soooo sad, it gets me every time. I always skip it on Netflix.
And then there's A Bit of Hugh and Laurie, Jeeves and Wooster, sooo funny! It was a shock to see Hugh Laurie all frumpy and serious and speaking with an American accent.
EscapedConvent says:
I love this man & have for years. It is a bit of a shock to see his hair so short & so grey. But he's so wonderfully funny & his charm is sweet & low-key.
And here is another man with a beautiful deep voice that melts.
So, I must certainly would.
Aw, I loved him as House. What an amazing character and show.
I think he wore a piece for a long time on the show (like Ted Danson did on Cheers), so it doesn't surprise me he looks "suddenly" older now. He's also most likely not wearing makeup when he's just out and about, while he certainly would have been while at promotional events. Women aren't the only ones who look a lot different with their hair and makeup done!
I wouldn't have hit it before but I still like him.
No no no no defs no
j.eyre says:
Yes, yes I would. Smart, funny men are always welcome.
Trust me, when I say I want "A Bit of Fry and Laurie" I am not actually referring to the show.
TWINK says:
I wouldn't have even when he was younger.
HappyJoyJoy says:
I liked Dr. House. He doesn't do it for me out of character. :/
no, not at all. while I think he's an amazing actor, he reminds me too much of my dad..
He used to be really hot in House, but he started looking older towards the end. Now he looks at least 10 years older than he actually is. I guess the smoking and drinking have caught up with him.
I foresee plastic surgery in his future if he's serious about going into film.
Granted he is better known for his TV work, but he has been a national treasure, film and Television actor for a good 30yrs.
And very successful in all arenas.
Syko says:
Never have found him attractive, never will.
hugh laurie could get it any day, any time….!
MyCatLovesTV says:
Certain men of a certain age have a "hotness" because of what is inside the skin….depending upon what we desire. Does a sweetheart do it for you? Or maybe an intelligent rough hold you against the wall kind of guy gets you going. It was the character that set some women's hearts racing. The rogue, the bad guy, the smartass, the man who looked thru you after he looked AT you.
That being said I like him in character better. But it is the smile and the eyes that make him special. Plus I'm an old chick myself. (He does look older than his stated age. I wonder if he smokes? My smoking friends look much older than my non-smoking ones.)
Unfortunately, Hugh does smoke, and has for years, so you may be right on the money. I'm kinda surprised to see him looking so old in these pics though – I've seen other ones of him lately where he didn't look this old. Part of it might be the lighting — it's really washing him out in these pics.
littlestar says:
I adore Hugh Laurie – he looks good any way to me! But if I had to choose, I love his scruffy House look.
I think he looked really good in House, and he looks good now.
May I pick Bruce Willis and add Ed Harris to CB list? The rest don't do it for me.
I agree. Willis and Harris have embraced and worked their baldness really well for some time now!
Okay, seriously? I've had a long-standing crush on Ed Harris since I was 12. Yet everyone I mention this to looks at me like I've grown another head!
AmandaPanda says:
2 things:
1. I would hit it with the force of an ENORMOUS pair of trousers
2. They're making a film out of mr pip? Oh god. That's one of my favourite books ever. They can't make a film out of it!
OMG I love bald men, too! A man has to have a lot of confidence to pull it off, and Laurie will be able to do that. He's hot, with or without hair.
In a New York minute! Love him!
I will love him forever!
Sillybee says:
I'd hit that all day, every day. My own husband knows that Hugh is among the few men that I'd have to leave him for, if they ever came to my door. ;0)
I absolutely love Hugh and have for years.
Why do we always have to frame our opinion on male actors as "would you hit it?" – I'm not offended by references to sex, but it's a bit reductive, to look at a man like Hugh Laurie and focus on whether we'd "hit it" or not. He's so much more than that — he's a genius actor, talented musician, a funny and eloquent and charming person. And I know the writer here is aware of that, going by what she said in the piece. So why the silly/demeaning tagline?
I guess it's maybe supposed to be ironic, or a commentary on how female celebs are always judged on their sex appeal, but honestly, why do we have to judge males OR females on whether we'd want to sleep with them? There's more to life.
dref22 says:
I'd rather hit someone who is 55 and still looking like in his 40s. Jack Coleman.
I had the delightful pleasure of seeing Hugh Laurie with the Copper Bottom Band (his band) in Morristown NJ. It was the final performance and it was magical. He was so at ease with the crowd and so professional. I could not believe how talented he is. He played the piano, multiple guitars and sang. He performed for almost 3 hours….no, they don't make them like that anymore…Bravo….
I'll always like him, even with grey hair or no hair, he's too charming and talented. One of the best actor ever.
I don't like him clean shaved though, I prefer him a little raw.
KellyinSeattle says:
He has gorgeous eyes and I love his mischevious smile.
He is also in The Oranges with Leighton Meester and Adam Brody which comes out this year.
Yes, yes I still would, many times over.

Former St Mary's pupil Alfie Devine makes Tottenham Hotspur history
By Mike Critchley
Alfie Devine scores for Spurs. Pic: Martin Rickett/PA Wire
FORMER Astley pupil Alfie Devine became the Tottenham Hotspur's youngest ever player and goalscorer at 16 years and 163 days after finding the net in the 5-0 win over north Liverpool non-league side Marine.
The ex-St Mary's Catholic High School youngster came on at half-time in the FA Cup tie and needed only 15 minutes to enter another page of the record books.
#OldBoy #Proud Well done, Alfie. We are delighted for you! https://t.co/ccHjbKxwjH
— St Mary's CHS (@StMarysCHS) January 10, 2021
A summer signing from Wigan, Devine found the bottom corner from the edge of the area to cap a memorable day.
Spurs manager Jose Mourinho felt more exposure to world-class players have created a platform for him to work off.
"We have to try to create the best conditions for (our young players) to come and to play not feeling the pressure, or huge responsibility," Mourinho told Spurs TV.
"So, for Alfie, okay, 16 years old, but through a good process in the Academy, working with us many, many times, even in pre-season, and to come here with the result made at half-time, good conditions for him to feel comfortable and perform, and a little bit of history for him and the club."
Alfie's dad Sean played rugby league for St Helens between 1986 and 1991, before moving on to Oldham.

Art Journey #5 :: Thinking Inside the Box with Joseph Cornell
There was once a local artist that I admired who took a look at the type of jewelry that I was creating at the time and told me that I was a true assemblage artist. My earliest work centered on using upcycled treasures, skeleton keys and the like, in very unusual ways. Not having any concept about what that meant, I thought she was telling me that I was an assembly-line artist and was a bit put off. Then I learned more about what that term actually meant, and it did feel right.
Assemblage is an artistic form or medium usually created on a defined substrate that consists of three-dimensional elements projecting out of or from the substrate. It is similar to collage, a two-dimensional medium. It is part of the visual arts, and it typically uses found objects, but is not limited to these materials.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assemblage_(art)
Joseph Cornell (1903-1972), an extremely shy and reclusive New York City artist, was one of the pioneers of the assemblage art form and one of its most celebrated talents. He was a largely self-taught artist and avant-garde filmmaker who was gifted with an eye for detail, creating with an improvisational method in an orderly exhibition style. His works exude a child-like fascination, enshrining collected artifacts as precious treasures in unexpected juxtapositions. He incorporated overlooked and discarded relics, like dime-store souvenirs, marbles, toys, seashells, compasses, old photographs, magazine clippings, stamps and other cast-offs into Surrealist collage-style shadow box constructions brimming with allegory and wonder. Cornell did all of this deep in the basement of his family home in Queens on Utopia Parkway (a fitting name for his origins), usually late at night, after caring for his ailing mother and brother. Joseph Cornell elevated the mundane to the sublime and said that his works were based on "the beauty of the commonplace" in everyday experiences, inviting the viewer into a carefully categorized magical world that allowed him to escape the circumstances of his life.
So, yes. I will wear the mantel of assemblage artist willingly, following in the footsteps of this Master!
"Look at everything as though you are seeing it for the first time, with the eyes of a child, fresh with wonder."
We have selected four of Cornell's representative shadow boxes. We chose them for the variety of their motifs and imagery.
Tilly Losch, 1935
One of his most famous works, Tilly Losch is named for a Viennese dancer and actress whom Cornell was enamored with who starred in many Hollywood films of the 1930s and 1940s. He had an enduring love for cinema and theater, and this has the feel of a backdrop from a stage show. the strings holding the doll-like character are evocative of a hot air balloon, signifying flying as an escape and also a nod to the fact that dancers were often rigged with cables to enable them to float above the stage in weightlessness. Notice the colors of the somewhat 3D landscape, the details on her dress and the pop of the red bead which adds a sense of playfulness.
Untitled (Medici Princess), 1948
Included in the box are a variety of objects: a reproduction of a painting by Bronzino of Princess Bia de'Medici who died by the age of six, wearing a medallion bearing a picture of her powerful father and a strand of pearls, lined by maps and assorted images of her, feathers, wooden blocks with numbers and a blue star (his favorite color), an orange-red ball, birds, marbles, jacks, a bunch of letters tied together along with a floorplan on the bottom of the box depicting a Florentine palace where she would have played as a child. This is a fascinatingly rich look at the ephemerality of life.
Untitled (Soap Bubble Set), 1936
This is of his most famous and earliest works, as well as one of a series of multiple shadowboxes made with same name and some recurring items, like the soap bubble pipe. The separation of the glass panes compartmentalizes each memory and symbol as having individual worth and merit, while the geography map of the moon, looking like a a precarious bubble balancing on the dainty plastic pipe reminds us of the vastness of the Universe and the commonality of our place in it. It is said that this piece is autobiographical. The egg represents his mother, the doll head is a father figure and the four blocks are Cornell and his three siblings.
Hotel de la Duchesse-Anne, 1949
Themes of travel to faraway places were common in Cornell's work, a means to escape the debilitating nature of his extreme bashfulness and circumstances of being a caregiver to his mother and brother. This is named for a once-storied French establishment, Hotel de la Duchesse-Anne in Nantes as well as showing another, Hotel des Voyageurs in Brest, both promising the romanticism of travel to intriguing locales. The white panels of this box have a light and airy feeling but also a sense of the vastness of great distances. Birds were a recurring motif in his boxes, where he created imaginary habitats for them. This parrot lives in a constructed cage, with a ball for play, newspapers for lining the bottom, while from his perch he eyes the brightly colored butterflies and beetles, that could become his lunch. These insects are printed on stamps which would adorn postcards written back home of the wonders of the trip. In the lattice on the right (a bit hard to see at this angle) are wooden blocks with constellations on blue backgrounds hinting at celestial navigation and bingo chips common to deck games aboard ships traveling abroad. The spiral wire from a pocket watch draws your eye to the parrot, and is a universal element of a Fibonacci spiral, a perfectly balanced harmony, repeated in the other round shapes, like the ball, the cork and the ring.
If you are stumped or would like to explore any of Cornell's massive collection of work, check out any of these links for more images of his work. And if choose to use another of his artworks, please feel free! We look forward to seeing what you create!

OLN--once the Outdoor Life Network--wants to woo viewers from the glitzy "Worldwide Leader" with a macho lineup that looks a lot like ... the original ESPN
Stephen Cannella
Late one night in the 1980s, before digital and reality and Boo-yah!, David Letterman reeled off a list of the Top 10 Off-season Sports on ESPN. Shirts-and-Skins Speed Typing, Miniature Horseshoes, Oprah Tipping--the gag was funny because those events were only marginally more absurd than what viewers actually saw on the cable network. At that point ESPN had yet to broadcast an NFL or major league game, and it needed all the content it could get. Australian Rules Football, tractor pulls, the USFL ... if you were perspiring and had an opponent, chances were the folks in Bristol, Conn., would put you on the air.
The self-styled Worldwide Leader is more discriminating now, as the NHL learned last week when ESPN bid it adieu after serving as hockey's home since 1992. Even with airtime to fill on several networks, ESPN, which in June passed on a $60 million option for this season, couldn't see spending millions for a sport that was outdrawn by poker before it nuked the 2004-05 season.
One channel's money pit is another's loss leader, however, and 20 years from now we may see the NHL as the first pawn in a new battle for the attention of the sports viewer. Meet the Outdoor Life Network, which happily gobbled up two seasons' worth of NHL rights for $135 million last week. Or rather make that OLN: The 10-year-old network, known chiefly for its coverage of the Tour de France and its hunting shows, has already changed its name in an effort to shed its woodsy image. "We want to continue to be a leader in the outdoor and adventure worlds," says president Gavin Harvey, "but the NHL is one part--a huge part, but just one part--of an overall effort to reposition OLN."
The NHL may have tumbled from mainstream to field and stream, but OLN's parent company, Comcast, could be thinking big, by using hockey to help build a network to compete with ESPN. Over the last four years Comcast CEO Brian L. Roberts--he oversees the nation's largest cable provider, with 21.4 million subscribers, and tried last year to acquire ESPN as part of a failed bid to buy Disney--has quietly built a sports empire. He has local networks in Philadelphia, Washington-Baltimore, Detroit, Chicago, Sacramento and San Francisco; two national entities, the Golf Channel and OLN; and ownership of the NHL's Flyers and the NBA's 76ers, plus two arenas in Philadelphia.
As ESPN once did, OLN has been stockpiling programming: the Tour de France, professional bullriding, the America's Cup yacht race, the Iditarod, the Boston Marathon and the Gravity Games. OLN is also talking to the NFL--which bestowed instant legitimacy on ESPN in 1987 and Fox in 1993 when it struck deals with the upstart networks--about a package of Thursday-night games starting with the 2006 season. TNT, TBS, FX and the NFL Network are also believed to be after those rights, but a source with knowledge of the NFL's TV committee told SI that OLN is "the leader in the clubhouse" to win the bidding, thanks largely to Comcast's vast subscriber base. "OLN has announced that it's open for business," says former CBS Sports president Neal Pilson. "Every important sports property will beat a path to see if they're interested."
OLN's emergence comes as ESPN redefines what a sports network should be. Under programming whiz Mark Shapiro--who last week announced he's leaving his executive vice president post to join Washington Redskins owner Dan Snyder's effort to take over Six Flags and morph the theme-park chain into an entertainment company--ESPN has focused on developing movies and series (Hustle, Playmakers) and shows like ESPN Hollywood that make some purists cringe. But ESPN president George Bodenheimer says he is happy with the course Shapiro set. "Based on our ratings and performance," he says, "we're on the right track."
OLN isn't above a little entertainment (Survivor reruns are a programming staple), but it sees an opening as it recasts itself as the Sweat Network. "We like the whole thing of competition, a very male-oriented network," says Marc Fein, vice president of programming. "We want to keep that base of outdoor enthusiasts but make it more about competition--man versus man, man versus nature, man versus beast."
It wouldn't mind a little network versus network action, either.

The Re-education of Dr Sally Price
A culture of fear and censorship in the Australian medical profession
By Rebekah Barnett | Dystopian Down Under | January 14, 2023
On a Friday in August 2021, Dr Sally Price received a phone call from the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA). There had been an anonymous complaint against her, and AHPRA was to follow up with an investigation.
"So of course, I was checking my email all afternoon," says Dr Price, who describes the ensuing investigation as, "destructive" and "very stressful."
At the time, Dr Price was a practicing GP in Perth, with additional qualifications in nutritional medicine and Ayurveda. In over 30 years of practice, Dr Price had never received a complaint, and she was mystified as to which of her patients could possibly have complained to AHPRA.
When the email from AHPRA finally arrived in her inbox, Dr Price was surprised to find that the complaint was not from a patient, but from a social media follower who, to the best of her knowledge, she has never met or had any contact with.
The complaint centred around five Facebook story posts, four of which were reposted content from a non-partisan, pro-choice activist group called Reignite Democracy Australia (RDA). Two of the posts referenced efforts of politicians (in Australia and Italy) to resist vaccination mandates. Another story was a repost offering insight into the physiological effects of the fear response.
The complainant characterised the reposts as "anti-vaccination," though none of the posts gave advice on vaccination or stated any opinion on the Covid vaccines. This was all that was required for AHPRA to launch an official investigation into Dr Price's conduct.
AHPRA's position statement on the Covid vaccination rollout (March 2021) set the bar for such vague complaints to trigger investigations, when they specifically barred doctors from expressing messages that could be construed as anti-vaccination on their social media:
"There is no place for anti-vaccination messages in professional health practice, and any promotion of anti-vaccination claims including on social media, and advertising may be subject to regulatory action."
Dr Price was given two weeks to respond, during which time she engaged with her indemnity organisation in a highly stressful back-and-forth, knowing that her reputation, and maybe even her licence were on the line. Dr Price was strongly advised to offer to undergo 're-education' at her own cost, so as to avoid more serious consequences, such as suspension, or having conditions imposed.
AHPRA agreed that Dr Price should undergo 10 hours of re-education and submit a letter of reflection detailing what she had learned from the process. "What you have to do is pull your forelock and tell AHPRA that you've been a very naughty girl," says Dr Price.
As part of her re-education, Dr Price was required to study the Australian Medical Association's (AMA) Code of Ethics (2017). Ironically, this firmly established in Dr Price's mind that the AMA's Code of tehics and AHPRA's position statement on the Covid vaccination rollout were at odds with each other. "As I studied the AMA Code of Ethics, I was struck by how AHPRA's position statement overrode our professional ethics, and that had me more deeply concerned," says Dr Price. "It highlighted to me that none of this was ok."
The AMA's Code of Ethics states that doctors must, "consider first the well-being of the patient," (Article 2.1.1) and that they must provide full informed consent before undertaking any tests, treatments or procedures (Article 2.1.4). Dr Price says that AHPRA's position statement and hawkish regulatory behaviour put the public health agenda before the patient and made it "impossible" for doctors to provide valid informed consent to patients.
AHPRA's unilateral decision that all doctors must fall in line with the vaccination rollout was also in conflict with the AMA Code's provision that doctors may conscientiously object to providing certain treatments or procedures (Article 2.1.13), and that they may publicly state opinions contrary to the status quo (Article 4.3.3). Further, the Code requires that doctors "practise effective stewardship, the avoidance or elimination of wasteful expenditure in health care…" (Article 4.4.1), and that they use their "knowledge and skills to assist those responsible for allocating health care resources, advocating for their transparent and equitable allocation." (Article 4.4.3) These articles imply a responsibility for doctors to speak out and take action when they believe that public health policy could be improved upon.
Feeling conflicted about how to practice good medicine under these conditions, Dr Price decided to take some leave to reflect and regroup. She lodged a complaint with Ahpra and the Ombudsman, requesting either a waiver to excuse her from the requirements of AHPRA's position statement, or that AHPRA explain how she might be able to practice under their conditions whilst also keeping to the AMA's Code of Ethics. No waiver or explanation was provided, and so Dr Price determined that continuing to practice as a GP was untenable. Her registration has since lapsed.
Dr Price says that, as it stands, the system has strayed from its primary purpose of letting doctors be doctors, and putting patients first. She speaks to a culture of fear within the medical profession. "The thing to understand is that doctors feel like someone is always behind them waiting to stab them in the back or put a bag over their head. That's how it feels being under AHPRA," she says.
The censorial nature of AHPRA's regulatory practices was brought into the national spotlight several weeks ago by former AMA president Dr Kerryn Phelps, who recently revealed that she is Covid vaccine injured. In a submission to the federal government's Long Covid Inquiry (Submission #510), Phelps wrote, in reference to the aforementioned AHPRA position statement,
"Regulators of the medical profession have censored public discussion about adverse events following immunisation, with threats to doctors not to make any public statements about anything that 'might undermine the government's vaccine rollout' or risk suspension or loss of their registration."
This is a view also held by cardiologist and Australian Medical Professionals' Society (AMPS) founder, Dr Chris Neil, who warned in a recent article for Spectator Australia, that many medical professionals believe that not only is the AHPRA position statement unlawful, but that "it is at the root of a dangerous shift in Australian Medicine." Neil points to the changes to the National Law for Health Practitioner Regulation introduced last October in the Queensland Parliament.
The changes, which the AMA strongly opposed, will further compel doctors to fall in line with public policy decided by bureaucrats, and will create a culture of 'guilty until proven innocent' by way of publicly naming and shaming medical professionals who are under investigation. AMPS has gone on the defensive with a Stop Medical Censorship national tour, on which medical, legal and other professionals gather to speak to audiences about the implications of censorship in medicine.
Dr Price says she feels damaged by the experience of being investigated by AHPRA, and she may not return to the profession. "I'm not sure that I want to come back. If medicine were to return to its ethical code, I will reconsider."

This is so obviously 1984 playing out before our eyes. This wonderful doctor, you don't have a 30 year practice by being a jerk, is no longer available to her patients.
All initiated anonymously to protect the feelings of the victim. It's a cult-like group dictating that humanity is mandated to kill itself so the elite and their handpicked transhuman slaves shall inherit the earth.
Dr. Price doesn't need a course, the cultists do!

Euro NCAP has released safety ratings on seven new cars �� including the first-ever hydrogen car to undergo its tests – the Hyundai Nexo.
It managed to achieve the full five-star rating, as did the all-new Mercedes-Benz A-Class, the hybrid Lexus ES and the facelifted Mazda 6. Elsewhere, the Peugeot Rifter and PSA stablemates the Citroen Berlingo and Vauxhall Combo attained four stars.
Out of all the cars tested, the Nexo scored highest for active safety, although the A-Class topped the chart for overall adult, passenger and pedestrian protection.
The Citroen, Peugeot and Vauxhall attained identical results across the board. The Mazda 6 achieved one of the highest percentages seen this year for Adult Occupant Protection at 95%, although couldn't quite beat the A-Class (96%).
Of the cars tested, the A-Class and Nexo feature 'Highway Assist' options. These technologies combine elements such as Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Centring and Speed Assist Systems to support drivers in driving situations on motorways.
This type of system was assessed by Euro NCAP recently, to help consumers better understand the limits of the systems and has recently emphasised they do not constitute a self-driving mode.

The Horatio Alger Association of Distinguished Americans is a nonprofit organization based in Alexandria, Virginia, that was founded in 1947 to honor the achievements of outstanding Americans who have succeeded in spite of adversity and to emphasize the importance of higher education. The association is named for Horatio Alger, a 19th-century author of hundreds of dime novels in the "rags-to-riches" genre, extolling the importance of perseverance and hard work.

The association gives the annual Horatio Alger Award to exemplars of its ideals. It also grants scholarships, and describes itself as the largest provider of need-based scholarships in the United States. All scholarships are funded by the generosity of the members of the Horatio Alger Association.

Scholarship programs

The Horatio Alger Association has one of the largest, privately funded, need-based college scholarship programs in the United States. Scholarships offered include the National Scholarship, State Scholarships and the Dennis R. Washington Achievement Scholarship.

National Scholars

The National Scholars Program was created in 1984 to help American high school seniors who had overcome adversity to attend college. Over time the Horatio Alger Association has expanded the program. Every year, the association awards more than 100 National scholarships to students from every U.S. state and Puerto Rico. Grants received by these National Scholars are valued at $25,000 each. Recipients are also given an all-expenses-paid trip to Washington, D.C. where they meet association members, attend the Horatio Alger Awards Ceremony, and learn about the federal government and the American free enterprise system. Since its inception in 1984, the program has awarded more than $125 million in college scholarships.

In 2010, the association gave $20,000 scholarships to 104 high school seniors.

State Scholarships

The association also operates a State Scholars program that gives scholarships to students in every state.  Award amounts range from $2,500 and $10,500.

Dennis R. Washington Achievement Scholarship

Alumni recipients of the scholarship are eligible to receive the Dennis R. Washington Achievement Scholarship. The scholarship is awarded to alumni who are seeking graduate and doctoral degrees. The program is funded by a $10 million grant from Horatio Alger member Dennis R. Washington, and his wife, Phyllis.

Horatio Alger Award

The association annually bestows the Horatio Alger Award on outstanding Americans who exemplify dedication, purpose, and perseverance in their personal and professional lives. Recipients have often achieved success in the face of adversity. Each award recipient becomes a lifetime member of the association.

The annual award series was inaugurated in 1947 by Kenneth Beebe of the American Schools and Colleges Association. In 1946 he had given achievement awards to two New York City businessmen. In 1947, he renamed the award for Horatio Alger and made four awards to businessmen. Recipients in subsequent years have included business and government leaders, athletes, entertainers, innovators, entrepreneurs, healers, teachers, artists, and writers who have overcome adversity and achieved great success. Currently, approximately ten American awardees are announced each year.  Additionally, each year since 2003 an International Horatio Alger Award has been presented to a citizen of another country who serves as a role model and embodies the ideals promoted by the association.

Notable awardees have included:

'The Simpsons' Marathon Launches With Biggest Day In FXX History

FXX enjoyed the most watched day in its one-year history with the first day of its The Simpsons marathon. Not surprisingly, the 12-day marathon —
featuring all 552 Simpsons episodes plus The Simpsons Movie — scored its best numbers so far in primetime Thursday, netting slightly more than 1 million viewers, including 623,000 in the demo. For comparison's sake, FXX has averaged 206,000 primetime viewers since its launch on September 3, 2013 — and 111,000 demo viewers.
With Day 1 of its orgy of Simpsons excess, FXX ranked No. 1 among all basic cable networks in primetime with men 18-34; it ranked No. 2 in adults 18-34 and No. 5 in adults 18-49.
The most watched episode of Day 1: 8:30 PM's "Itchy & Scratchy & Marge," which topped the day 1.23 million viewers – 749,000 of them in the demo. That episode also was the network's best performer yesterday in the 18-34 demo and ranked No. 3 among all television programs for the night in that age bracket. Among 18-49, it ranked No. 11.
In its news release about its numbers, FXX took a moment to acknowledge that, yes, FX Networks had said the company would no longer issue Live+Same Day numbers because those numbers are pure horseradish in this age of so much delayed viewing. Here's how FXX explained this apparent about-face:
The release of the Live+Same Day ratings for the off-network cable television premiere for The Simpsons on FXX reflects the fact that the percentage increase from Live+Same Day to Live+7 is inconsequential for acquired programming and akin to the lifts for sports, news or live events.
This does not change FX Networks' position that Live+Same Day ratings in no way accurately remotely reflect the actual delivery for scripted original series and we will only release ratings for scripted entertainment programming on a Live+3-and-beyond basis.


Here's an interesting food fact to throw out at your next dinner party: Lavender is actually part of the mint family. It's also cousins to fellow aromatic herbs rosemary and sage. The pretty purple flower has a sweet, floral flavor with a slight bitterness that is the perfect balance for both sweet and savory dishes and drinks—which explains why local chefs and bartenders love using it. Searsucker, Freedmen's and Salty Sow are just three of the restaurants that have cocktails centered on lavender; those would be the Skinny Jenny, the Lavender Collins and the ZenJen, respectively. La Pâtisserie showcases the flower in a macaroon, while Hopfields has used it in a Nutella and banana crepe with lavender sugar. And then there is Copper Restaurant and Dessert Lounge, which highlights lavender in its fried goat cheese balls, which are also sweetened with Round Rock Honey. The herb is so popular in the Texas Hill Country, there's a festival devoted to it. Get more information about the 16th Annual Lavender Festival at Becker Vineyards on their website.
